00:00Oh wait, this isn't my...
00:10What? No kale salad in there?
00:14No, it's a burger and...
00:17Let me guess, it's tortilla soup with avocado on the side.
00:21We switched bags.
00:24We both know it was all my fault. So sorry, let's just...
00:28Here you go.
00:32Been running into each other a lot lately.
00:36Yeah, we have. Which is, uh...
00:39Good for me, because I can ask you if you thought about what I said.
00:43Tyler, you probably want to eat. I won't keep you.
00:46Just a salad. You can wait.
00:48Okay, well, I have my burger, so...
00:50Are you willing to do what it takes, Adam?
00:54Can the Newmans and Abbots live in peace?
00:58I hear you, Rhodes. Not allowed to celebrate tonight.
01:01Fourth quarter is about to end and production is on hold.
01:04Look, we can't have any of those numbers leaking from accounting.
01:07Lord knows Newman Media would love to run another hit piece with those numbers, but...
01:12Hopefully production will be back up and running soon.
01:16Thanks. Now, get off your computer and have a glass of champagne.
01:21Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll see you in 2026.
01:28Victoria! Hi.
01:30Hi. Nice to see you.
01:32Yeah.
01:33How's your evening?
01:34Good enough. Are you meeting Nate?
01:37I just know you've grown close again.
01:40As friends, yes.
01:42It can happen. Being friends with an ex.
01:48That's good to hear.
01:49Well, he's with Amy tonight.
01:51You? You meeting anyone?
01:53Not how I envisioned spending the evening, but it is what it is.
01:58I heard that you made an early New Year's resolution about waiting for Claire.
02:03Ah, as in I'm not. Not anymore.
02:08Well, that's a big decision, and it couldn't have been an easy one to make.
02:12But it had to happen.
02:13Well, it's one thing to know that in your head, but it's entirely different to feel it in your heart.
02:33Yeah!
02:34Soon!
02:37Yeah!
02:38��
03:03Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, how are you doing the G?
03:07R chord and then with A.
03:09R chord and adding the A.
03:14I feel like I shouldn't need to check at this point.
03:17Yeah.
03:18I mean, no, no.
03:20It's okay.
03:21It's okay to check.
03:21We all need backup sometimes just to make sure that we're doing the right thing.
03:26You know, we don't have to do this right now.
03:28You don't want to play today?
03:29I mean, I do, but you take a break, talk.
03:40You don't always have to help me.
03:42I'm fine.
03:43But you still haven't told me what happened.
03:48I know something happened.
03:49And look, I'm not trying to push, but if you want to talk about it, I'm here.
03:55I can listen.
03:58Don't you get sick?
03:59Don't you get sick of being sweet to me?
04:02I'm just this mess that you always have to help.
04:05I was a professional mess for a while, so if I can help, I want to.
04:12I'm just this mess.
04:23I'm just this mess.
04:25I'm just this mess.
04:29Hey, Lily, hi.
04:41This is perfect.
04:43Uh, I'm sorry?
04:45Glad you're here.
04:46I was, uh, I was, uh, I was just gonna spend New Year's Eve alone.
04:51Watch the ball drop on my phone, but now you're here, so that's perfect.
04:56Yeah, I know I didn't call.
04:57You don't have to call? Well, it's a great surprise.
05:02There's no one else I'd rather be with.
05:12Holidays can be really hard if you're alone.
05:16That sense of wanting to share it all with someone that you care about.
05:19I'm sorry I haven't checked in on you.
05:21This must have been a tough month for you without Cole.
05:24I mean, for you and Claire.
05:27Claire was going through some of his things, and she found this gift from him from the last trip that he took.
05:34It was under the tree for me on Christmas morning, thanks to Claire.
05:37A great father and daughter team, even now.
05:40So you still haven't told me.
05:44How are you really doing?
05:46Uh, look, it took a lot to get here, but I'm okay.
05:52You know, Claire needed some space to figure things out for herself, and as much as I care about her, I just couldn't find a balance between hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, and that just wasn't fair to either of us.
06:04You two had a lot of obstacles to overcome.
06:07Yeah, the biggest being Victor.
06:09Yes, but Kyle, he did give you his blessing, eventually.
06:13Yeah, and I made some bad choices, and that's on me.
06:16I've got to live with it.
06:17But what he has done to my father and Jabot is too far, Victoria.
06:20We all know that, and by we, I mean my family and yours, and you have all stood up to Victor at one point or another over the years, and I can't help but wish this were one of those times.
06:33And not just one or two Newmans.
06:34Like a full-on family revolt.
06:37Can you even imagine one voice in Victor's face saying, enough is enough?
06:42It would be a game changer.
06:43Yes, Sally, I know.
06:47I'm a victim of Victor's influence, and I cannot think or act for myself.
06:53That is not what I meant.
06:54No, it was close enough.
06:57You can think for yourself.
07:00You know the difference between right and wrong, and I don't think that you want to hurt Jack or his family.
07:04But?
07:05You choose to cave to Victor.
07:07Ah, see, there it is.
07:09I was waiting for that.
07:10I was waiting for that dig at my strength.
07:12So thank you for getting it over with quickly.
07:15There are a dozen reasons why you feel like you have to do what Victor says.
07:19I know that better than everyone.
07:22But you can resist.
07:24You just choose to take the easy way out.
07:27Why don't you have to get home to Billy?
07:30You're not home with Chelsea.
07:33She has a fluke.
07:35She won't let anybody near her.
07:37Okay, well, Billy is in Chicago on a short-notice business trip, and he got stuck.
07:42It's Chelsea.
07:49It's Connor.
07:53His mom crashed out on flu meds, and he's asking if he can spend $5 on a computer game.
07:58Pretty great, right?
08:01Normal kid stuff.
08:03You're going to let him have it?
08:04Only because it's a holiday, and his parents are boring.
08:11So you don't have to rush home?
08:13I do not.
08:15Look, why don't we have a drink?
08:19Try not to fight.
08:21That's a brave idea.
08:24Don't talk about Victor.
08:25We'll see how it goes.
08:30Champagne and strawberries.
08:31That says New Year's Eve, doesn't it?
08:33No, Cain, I'm not saying.
08:35I mean, you're right here.
08:36Yeah, I'm just here long enough to get this done.
08:39This?
08:40Yes.
08:41I don't want there to be any confusion or doubt.
08:44Okay, good.
08:45I bought the launch party?
08:49It was the best night I've had in a long time.
08:51Okay, well, if it gave you false hope, then that was a mistake.
08:55I'm sorry.
08:58I thought that we had a good time.
09:01I mean, it felt like we were actually us again.
09:04It's one night.
09:05It's not real life, and it wasn't the real you.
09:09So I don't think there's a reunion for us.
09:11I think that we are farther apart than ever.
09:15Talking about it doesn't change anything.
09:20Right, but it gets it out of your head.
09:23And it makes it real.
09:27It's already real.
09:32I've lost Mariah.
09:36Now I'm lost, too.
09:37You don't think Victor would listen if his entire family told him to back off my family?
09:49It's worth a shot, don't you think?
09:52My dad is aware of how we all feel about this.
09:55But he does what he wants to do.
09:57Okay, I know this is where I should say Happy New Year and walk away,
10:00but my dad thinks Nicky is on the edge, that she's had enough of Victor's war.
10:04That really wouldn't surprise me.
10:05Then please, will you and Nicky convince Victor to back off Jabot?
10:11And if you can't convince him, find another way.
10:14I assume that Jack has discussed this with my mother.
10:17He's waiting to hear back what, if any, headway she's made.
10:22She'll never stop defending Jack to my father.
10:24I appreciate that.
10:26She stands her ground with Victor.
10:29So I have to ask, with her as an example,
10:32why do you fall in line with him?
10:36So you came here tonight, this late, to tell me that you don't want to be with me?
10:42I just don't want to start the year with any misunderstandings.
10:45And yet you willingly hung out with me at the party, and we had a great time.
10:50We had a good time?
10:51I think that a great time is overstating it.
10:54Okay, okay.
10:55We had a good time, and now you're telling me not to read anything into it?
11:01Why didn't you just text me that, Lily?
11:03Because you would have ignored it.
11:04Okay, well, I certainly can't ignore this,
11:07because it doesn't make any sense.
11:08You're still a liar, Cain.
11:10About what, Lily?
11:13I have told you everything.
11:15I have lost almost everything.
11:16What more do you want from me?
11:17You know, I think that you want to change,
11:20but I don't think that you can.
11:21Because there's a part of you that still needs power,
11:24and a risk, and a rush, and that's still you.
11:26You know what?
11:26You know what?
11:27I know you, Lily.
11:30Okay?
11:30I know that you were letting me in.
11:32And I know how your eyes look when you find something to be really funny.
11:35Not just amusing, or slightly clever, but really funny.
11:40You had a great time.
11:44So what happened between the launch party and now?
11:47I mean, did Devon get in your head, or the kids?
11:50Like, why would you suddenly start pulling back now?
11:52No, I'm just being realistic that there's no chance for us.
11:54Wait, but we were so close to getting something back.
11:57Yeah, I thought so too.
11:58But it was a lie.
12:00Because you talk such a good game,
12:02and I am not going to fall for it again.
12:09Okay, so for this moment of peace,
12:11can we agree no work talk?
12:13Very much agree.
12:17Mm-hmm.
12:19Unless you want to tell me what your next evil move is against Chabelle.
12:23And unless you want to tell me which international markets
12:26Billy is deluded enough to go after.
12:27Hmm.
12:28No work talk.
12:31There's lots left to discuss.
12:33Tons.
12:37Just a typical non-New Year's for you?
12:40I did my best to start a non-tradition.
12:46It was very impressive.
12:49You just, you, you went all out.
12:52Ta-da!
12:57Uh, was the emergency that you ran out of tape for the decorations, or?
13:03The emergency is that it is almost midnight.
13:06Right.
13:06And we said that we were not doing anything for New Year's Eve.
13:11Right.
13:12And as you can tell by the decor,
13:15we are not even acknowledging New Year's.
13:18All of the other holidays, sure.
13:20But there were no rules about that.
13:23Okay, so this is a loophole.
13:26Yes.
13:27But the clock is ticking,
13:28and we're running out of time
13:29if we want to not celebrate before midnight.
13:32It's not our first time not celebrating.
13:42Well, it's probably the most awkward.
13:44No.
13:46Did you really order kale?
13:48What do you have against Leafy Greens?
13:51I don't know.
13:51What do you have against a burger?
13:52I am not sure.
13:55You know, if I could have some of your burger,
13:57I could assess,
13:58and then you could enjoy some kale.
14:00Okay, or you could just order your own burger.
14:03But I don't want a whole burger.
14:09Excuse me.
14:10Can I get a knife and a small plate, please?
14:15Are you going to share?
14:18I am going to share.
14:22Tessa, what did Mariah do?
14:25She left the clinic.
14:27So she's not getting treatment?
14:28I don't know what she's doing.
14:31When's she coming home?
14:32I don't know that either.
14:34Well, what did she say?
14:35Nothing.
14:35We haven't spoken.
14:37I just happened to notice on our family tracking app
14:39that she wasn't in Boston anymore.
14:42She was headed west.
14:44So I thought maybe she was coming home.
14:47So I called.
14:48And I didn't want to let on
14:51that I knew that she had left Boston
14:53because I didn't want to pressure her.
14:56Right?
14:57So I left a message
14:59just saying happy holidays.
15:01No answer.
15:03So I left another message.
15:06And she replied via text
15:07saying that she had checked herself out.
15:11Tessa.
15:12And that was the last I heard from her.
15:17So no holiday miracle.
15:19The last I checked, she was headed south.
15:22Even farther away from us.
15:24Well, she sent a gift to Aria for Christmas,
15:26but she wouldn't even do a video call
15:28with her daughter.
15:30This doesn't sound like her.
15:33She also told me
15:34I shouldn't expect to hear from her.
15:35So how am I supposed to walk around
15:38and talk and play guitar
15:40when all I can hear in my head
15:43is that she is never coming home?
15:52What are you so sure
15:53that I lied to you about?
15:55Because I have told you everything
15:56about the last three years.
15:57I've told you about my business,
15:59about my feelings for you,
16:00why I came back to Juno City.
16:02I'm here to be with you, Lily.
16:04Oh, God. Stop. Stop.
16:04Like, my God,
16:06the way that you lie
16:07is so insidious.
16:09It's like you're so earnest
16:10and forceful.
16:12What?
16:14Okay, so I don't care about you?
16:16You're not the first thing
16:17that I think about in the morning
16:18or the last thing
16:19that I think about at night?
16:20Okay, you know what?
16:21I saw you kissing Phyllis.
16:22I saw it.
16:24Okay, just after we have
16:25this great night
16:26where I think that, you know,
16:27maybe, maybe you and I,
16:30you know, and I see that
16:31and I feel so stupid
16:33because that's how you make me feel
16:35like I am stupid and gullible
16:36and I am not gonna let it happen again.
16:38That's not what happened.
16:39Don't tell me what I saw, okay?
16:42Listen, just be with Phyllis.
16:44Be with her.
16:45You two are the same person.
16:46You just both love power and money
16:48and you will deceive
16:49whoever you have to to get it.
16:51So go be with her
16:51and stay away from me.
16:52Lily, I swear to you.
16:54I am not gonna let you play me again.
16:56So how are you and Chelsea?
17:04We're good.
17:06I mean, it's still super bizarre
17:08that we're on the ranch
17:10living the Newman Ranch life,
17:13but somehow it feels right.
17:18Sounds like Connor's doing well.
17:21That kid is a constant surprise
17:23in the best way possible.
17:27Wow, that's wonderful.
17:29I'm really happy for the three of you.
17:31Me too.
17:34Sounds like he's overcome
17:35the worst of his OCD.
17:37Yeah.
17:40I mean, he has, right?
17:42Oh, I mean, OCD is always around,
17:45but he has the skill set to deal with it.
17:48So we keep the conversation open.
17:51Probably can't really let your guard down, huh?
17:53Never.
17:56And this is part of him,
17:58so we do what we have to do.
18:01Yeah.
18:02That's what love is, isn't it?
18:07You're living it too right now.
18:09What do you mean?
18:11I mean, Billy.
18:13You know, you can enjoy the good days,
18:14but you gotta wonder
18:15when the next bad day is gonna come.
18:19Why would you do that?
18:20When we're getting along,
18:22why would you attack Billy?
18:23Sally, I didn't mean it as an attack.
18:26I'm just saying,
18:27I understand.
18:30I don't think you do.
18:32But it still worries me
18:34that you are with him.
18:35I'm happy.
18:37I know you are.
18:39Okay, but I also know
18:40that Billy is unpredictable.
18:42It's like he could be doing everything right.
18:43He could have all of the support in the world
18:45and he still finds a way
18:46to ruin it for himself.
18:48Yes, you love him,
18:49but you have to protect yourself.
18:52Okay, when he goes off the rails again,
18:53because we all know that he will,
18:55I don't want you to end up hurt.
18:57And if that upsets you
18:59and you want to argue,
19:00then...
19:02You're worried about the same thing.
19:13Kyle,
19:13you may know a lot about the Newmans,
19:15but you don't know everything.
19:17I don't just fall in line
19:18with whatever my father wants me to do.
19:20And I never will.
19:21You're right.
19:22I'm sorry, that wasn't fair.
19:25You've stood your ground more than once.
19:30Adam is ruthless
19:32and zeroed in on destruction.
19:34Nick tries to inject morals
19:36and ethics into the conversation,
19:38but ultimately he's pretty pragmatic.
19:40You do seem to be the most independent.
19:42Well, we've all defied our father,
19:44but we have our reasons
19:45for when we do and when we don't.
19:47Right.
19:48That's the thing.
19:49It all always goes back to Victor.
19:51I mean, there must have been times
19:53when you've wanted to break away completely.
19:55When he thought about what it would be like
19:57if you didn't have to answer to him.
19:59What would life be like for you
20:00and everyone else then?
20:05There you go.
20:06Thanks.
20:08Well, we can be sure that Mariah's
20:10not crying over me right now.
20:12Yeah.
20:12And I knew this was coming,
20:16so why am I so upset?
20:18I mean, she shut me out
20:19and cut me loose.
20:21I don't matter to her
20:22anymore.
20:26She doesn't want to be in my life.
20:28I can't convince her to stay.
20:30I can't even convince her
20:32to text me back.
20:34Yeah, but...
20:35I mean, she's still out there somewhere
20:38and you don't know
20:39what's going on in her head.
20:41Because she won't tell me.
20:43That could change.
20:46So I should just stay
20:47in limbo forever?
20:49No.
20:50No, that's...
20:51that's not what I'm saying.
20:53I'm sick of hurting, Daniel.
20:58I don't want to live
20:59like this anymore.
21:01You shouldn't have to.
21:03I want to know
21:04that what I think
21:05and feel
21:07and say
21:09matters to someone.
21:11Because it matters
21:13to me
21:14and I'm
21:14sitting right here.
21:18You know, whatever you need.
21:20I need to feel loved.
21:23What about when you, Nick, and Abby
21:43sued for your trusts?
21:45You fought that battle and won.
21:47And that tore our family apart.
21:49That was not an easy decision to make.
21:52Suing our father
21:53for mismanagement of our trusts.
21:55It was agony for all of us
21:56and it took our family years
21:58to heal from that root.
21:58But you did it.
21:59You fought for romance.
22:01You fought for independence.
22:03So...
22:03So we should fight for our dad
22:04to leave the Abbotts alone.
22:06Exactly.
22:07We are fighting for that.
22:08In our own way.
22:09But you won't draw a line.
22:10What exactly will that do?
22:11I don't know.
22:12It'd be a show of force.
22:13A show of solidarity
22:14with the Abbotts.
22:16Frankly, it's morally
22:17the right thing to do.
22:19You know,
22:20when I was young,
22:21I thought that my father
22:22could change.
22:23He hasn't.
22:24Whether he can or won't
22:26doesn't matter.
22:28He is who he is.
22:29How can you be so defeatist?
22:31Yes, he is powerful and stubborn,
22:33but he is not a god.
22:34And who has beaten him?
22:36Kyle, make a list.
22:38Who has gotten the upper hand
22:40on Victor Newman
22:41and kept it.
22:44That part is key.
22:47My father's gotten in a few hits.
22:49Oh, yes.
22:50Yes, he has.
22:51Because this is their feud.
22:53My point being
22:54that it's not just my dad.
22:56I mean, Jack
22:56has kept this battle going.
22:58The urge to win
22:59has gotten the better
23:00of both of them.
23:04If you saw a kiss.
23:06If?
23:06Really?
23:07You already admitted it.
23:08It would have been here.
23:09Which means you what?
23:10You just walked in unannounced
23:12and then you just left right away?
23:14Because I put an end
23:14to it immediately.
23:15Did you see that part?
23:16Okay, well,
23:17you really took your time.
23:18It was like a tenth
23:18of a second, Lily.
23:19You know what's
23:20even more humiliating
23:21is that I had
23:22a long conversation
23:23with Tracy
23:23where she convinced me
23:25that maybe you do
23:26want to be a better person.
23:28That maybe you want
23:28to be decent
23:29and honorable
23:30and that I'm getting
23:31in the way
23:31of my own happiness.
23:33And so like a fool,
23:34I come over here
23:35thinking that maybe
23:36you and I
23:37can be something
23:38and then I see you
23:40and Phyllis
23:40attached at the face.
23:41You know what?
23:42If she heard you right now,
23:42she would cheer.
23:45That woman
23:46always has an agenda,
23:48Lily.
23:50And she loves
23:51to remind me
23:52that you don't trust me
23:53because she thinks
23:54that if I'm alone,
23:55if I'm isolated
23:56and hopeless,
23:57then maybe I'll team up
23:58with her again.
23:59Okay, well,
24:00she's right
24:01because you know what?
24:02You two are
24:02a perfect match.
24:03She kissed me, Lily.
24:07And you know what?
24:08Maybe Tracy was right.
24:10Maybe you will look
24:11for any excuse
24:11not to give us a chance,
24:12which is unfortunate
24:13because we could have
24:14been amazing
24:15but better than before
24:17because I am not
24:18the fool
24:19that I was back then.
24:20I would never
24:21risk losing you again.
24:24You know,
24:24maybe Phyllis isn't
24:25as smart as she thinks
24:26she is because
24:26if she were,
24:27she would know
24:27that I will only ever
24:28love one moment.
24:31You.
24:42You're sure about Lizzie?
24:43Yeah.
24:44She's had a friend
24:45to pick her up tomorrow.
24:47Good.
24:58Wait, wait, wait, wait,
25:03Lily.
25:03What?
25:04You don't have to do
25:04this right now.
25:07I just,
25:08I don't want you
25:10to be acting
25:10on an impulse
25:11and, you know,
25:12think about it
25:13and then regret it later.
25:14Don't.
25:16I have thought about it.
25:19I've dreamed about it.
25:21So if you don't
25:22kiss me again,
25:24don't.
25:24I have definitely
25:40heard my father
25:40raging about Victor
25:42Newman for as long
25:43as I can remember.
25:44So, yes,
25:45he is absolutely
25:46a player in this
25:48war between them.
25:49And have you ever
25:49told him enough
25:51is enough?
25:51About Victor?
25:52I may have
25:55egged him on
25:56more often than not.
25:58Exactly.
25:59But my father
26:00and I have had
26:00battles on other issues.
26:02The same goes
26:02for my mother and me.
26:03So you can understand
26:05how complicated
26:06it can be.
26:07Loyalty to family
26:09versus how you
26:10really feel.
26:11What you feel is right.
26:12I do.
26:13But I also know
26:13that my father
26:14would never cut me
26:15out of his life.
26:16He would never
26:17disown me.
26:17I mean, kick me
26:18out of the company?
26:20Sure.
26:21Cut me out
26:21the family?
26:23Never.
26:25So there is a future
26:26without this war.
26:28Maybe not next week.
26:29Maybe not a year
26:30from now.
26:31But someday.
26:33But not if Jabot dies.
26:35Well, I hope
26:35that's not the case.
26:37So do something.
26:39My father feels
26:40that Nikki is
26:40on the edge,
26:41that she is this
26:42close to helping us.
26:43Let her know
26:44you back her up,
26:45agree that it's
26:46the right thing to do.
26:47Victoria,
26:48if you feel compelled
26:49to stand up
26:50to Victor yourself,
26:51then that would
26:53prove that you
26:55are the leader
26:55who can truly do
26:56right by Newman
26:57in the future.
27:01Well, did not realize
27:02how much I needed
27:03a burger.
27:05No, it was
27:05half a burger.
27:08And now I kind of
27:08wish that I had
27:09my other half.
27:12Yeah, that would
27:13have given you
27:13nightmares, eating
27:14so much so late.
27:15Oh, come on, please.
27:15I sleep great
27:17no matter what.
27:19Okay, that is
27:19such a fib.
27:20All that tossing
27:21and flopping.
27:23What?
27:25That's me
27:25not having a nightmare.
27:26That's relaxed.
27:27Oh, okay.
27:28Sure.
27:28Right.
27:30You know,
27:31Connor inherited it.
27:33Kid wakes up
27:34in all kinds
27:34of configurations.
27:36My back hurts
27:36just looking at him.
27:37Well, speaking of
27:42bedtime,
27:44it was almost
27:45midnight.
27:47Oh, that went
27:48quite fast.
27:50Who knew?
27:52Did you need
27:53to get home?
27:55When Chelsea
27:56crashed out
27:57and Connor
27:58locked in
27:59on a computer game,
28:00you know,
28:00Chelsea wouldn't even
28:01notice I was there
28:02and Connor
28:03would politely
28:04ask me to
28:05leave him alone.
28:05Even for the
28:08countdown?
28:08Don't know.
28:09Not a bit.
28:10Wouldn't care.
28:11What,
28:11Gen Alpha
28:12doesn't do
28:12resolutions?
28:14I don't know.
28:16I think they're
28:16wise beyond
28:17their years.
28:18You know,
28:19no pressure
28:19to live up
28:20to some
28:20unattainable
28:21goals.
28:23Okay,
28:23well,
28:23that's not to say
28:23they can't
28:24set reasonable
28:24targets.
28:27I want to say,
28:27I thought you
28:27didn't do
28:28traditional
28:28New Year's.
28:29Clearly not.
28:30I'm just saying
28:30that resolutions
28:31is not the
28:32worst idea.
28:33Okay,
28:34what would
28:34yours be?
28:35What do
28:36you want
28:37for yourself
28:37in 2026?
28:45What?
28:47Honestly,
28:48I was thinking
28:48back
28:49to this
28:52really crappy
28:55New Year's Eve
28:57that I had
28:57a long time
28:57ago.
28:59I was
28:59interested
29:00in this
29:00beautiful,
29:03amazing
29:03woman.
29:04I told
29:06myself
29:07it wouldn't
29:07work.
29:09I told
29:09her
29:09it wouldn't
29:10work.
29:12Then a few
29:12days after,
29:14I sat
29:16alone drinking
29:16on that
29:17crappy
29:17New Year's
29:17Eve.
29:18I ran
29:18into her.
29:20It was
29:21awkward.
29:24You know
29:24what I said
29:24to her?
29:26One of us
29:27should leave
29:27or we should
29:28just give up
29:28and date
29:29each other.
29:29with a
29:30connection
29:31like that
29:31we had
29:31no choice
29:32but to
29:32give in.
29:35That's not
29:35why I came
29:36here tonight.
29:37If you say
29:37so.
29:38That was
29:38a lifetime
29:38ago,
29:39Kane.
29:40Actually,
29:40it was a few
29:41last names
29:41ago for you.
29:42It was
29:43Chancellor,
29:44Ashby,
29:45Dumont.
29:45Whatever the
29:46name was,
29:46Lily.
29:47I'm just a
29:48guy who
29:48loved you.
29:50I always
29:50will.
29:51you know,
29:54I can't
29:54say that
29:55I regret
29:55meeting you
29:56because I
29:56think Maddie
29:57and Charlie
29:57have been
29:57worth it.
30:00But I
30:00don't have
30:00to deal
30:01with you
30:01anymore.
30:02And that's
30:03why I
30:03want you
30:03to stay
30:03away from
30:04me.
30:05You came
30:06here to
30:06tell me
30:06that you
30:07don't want
30:07to see
30:07me.
30:08Yeah,
30:08and I
30:08want you
30:09to respect
30:09my request.
30:10And I
30:10would.
30:12If I
30:12thought you
30:13meant it.
30:13Okay,
30:14now you
30:14sound delusional.
30:15You came
30:15to see
30:15me
30:16tonight.
30:16Yeah,
30:16because you
30:17would have
30:18eventually
30:18just shown up
30:19somewhere,
30:19like you
30:20always do.
30:20Like you
30:21did tonight.
30:21I came
30:22here for
30:22a reason.
30:23I always
30:24have a
30:24reason.
30:25It's not
30:25the same.
30:26Yes,
30:26it is.
30:30You want
30:31me as
30:33much as
30:33I want
30:33you.
30:36So why
30:36don't you
30:37just admit
30:37it?
30:45Newman
30:45Enterprises
30:46is flourishing.
30:47Chancellor
30:47has been
30:48an incredible
30:49addition.
30:50Chabot
30:51does not
30:51need to
30:51fail
30:52in order
30:52for
30:52Newman
30:52to
30:53succeed.
30:54Is that
30:54the pitch
30:54you'll
30:55make
30:55to
30:55Victor?
30:56I
30:56have
30:56before
30:57and
30:57I
30:57will
30:57again,
30:58although
30:58I
30:59doubt
30:59it'll
30:59have
30:59any
30:59impact.
31:00Because
31:00this
31:01isn't
31:01about
31:01Newman,
31:02it's
31:02about
31:02Victor's
31:02ego.
31:03My
31:04father is
31:04the one
31:05enemy
31:05Victor
31:06can't
31:06destroy.
31:08Man,
31:08that must
31:09drive him
31:09nuts.
31:10Well,
31:10I know
31:10that it
31:10drives me
31:11up the
31:11wall.
31:12Billy
31:13and I
31:13will
31:13always
31:13be
31:13family
31:14because
31:14of
31:20the
31:20set
31:20for
31:20them.
31:22So
31:23what's
31:23your
31:23answer,
31:23Victoria?
31:28I'll
31:28do
31:28what
31:28I
31:29can.
31:30Seriously?
31:31Yes,
31:32but
31:32just know
31:34I'm not
31:34making any
31:35promises.
31:35I wouldn't
31:36expect you
31:36to.
31:37I will
31:38do
31:38what I
31:38can
31:38to
31:39bring

31:42Thank
31:42you,
31:43Victoria.
31:43It
31:43means
