00:00I tried Lilia again too, Devon and Maddie. No response yet.
00:05No word from Charlie either?
00:09Hey, hey, look, look, let's not jump to any conclusions just yet.
00:16Of course you'd be triggered after what you went through with Dominic,
00:19but I want to believe there is a logical explanation for why we haven't heard from them.
00:28How about this?
00:29How about we sleep on it, see what the morning brings, and touch base tomorrow?
00:36Sounds good. Talk to you then.
00:50Hi.
00:51Hey.
00:53Twice in one day. Lucky me.
00:56I know, I'm the lucky one.
00:57My favorite drink. Ready and waiting for me.
01:00You know, I was seriously considering peppermint hot chocolate, but you sounded like you needed some fortification.
01:08You're a wise man.
01:10You see, I feel stronger already.
01:13Much better than the chamomile tea I had earlier.
01:18So, I was surprised to get your text. Thought you were deep in whatever plans you have to go after
01:23Phyllis.
01:25Well, unfortunately, it turns out that my plan has changed.
01:31Victor, how's that short game coming along these days?
01:37There's no check.
01:39I don't have time for this.
01:42Well, I haven't seen you in a while. Not that I've missed you. I just assumed you'd flown south with
01:47the rest of the snowbirds to enjoy the links. You know, the fresh air, the ocean breezes.
01:55Well, Jack, have you lost your mind? I mean, you seem to be more of a blithering area than you
02:01were before.
02:02Oh, golf's not your game? Maybe you should try pickleball. I mean, you've got a lot of time on your
02:08hands now that you've lost Newman Enterprises. Tell me, how's it feel to be retired?
02:42How's it feel to be retired?
02:48СПОКОЙНАЯ МУЗЫКА
03:22I'll leave the game playing to you and that punk, brother of yours.
03:28There you are.
03:29Hi, darling.
03:30Lovely as always, Nicky.
03:32If you really choose us, yeah, good luck filling your day.
03:37Uh, shuffleboard may be your game.
03:42What was that all about?
03:44Check out the British world.
03:47Oh, I'm so relieved to get your message.
03:51I mean, I sent you texts and voicemails,
03:54and I didn't hear anything back from you all day.
03:56Where have you been?
04:22Oh, hey.
04:25Hi.
04:28How much did you hear?
04:30Uh, enough A to be impressed,
04:32and B to sense that you're having trouble deciding which way to go.
04:39Well, I like the second one.
04:42But could I hear it again?
05:05How come you didn't tell me you were writing a song?
05:10Just fooling around.
05:12Oh.
05:13You seem kind of intense for just fooling around.
05:18It's probably because of all the caffeine.
05:22Well, for the record, I like it,
05:24and I think it should be a song.
05:25Well, then, maybe we could work on it together.
05:36Ah, thank you.
05:37Thank you.
05:37Oh, this is exactly what I needed.
05:40Thank you for suggesting it.
05:42I live to make you happy.
05:44Hmm.
05:45Well, then, can you make Victor and Nikki disappear?
05:48I have to say,
05:50I'm a bit surprised to see them out in public.
05:52Of course, they like making a grand entrance,
05:55all eyes on them and no one else.
05:57But you would think,
05:59given the complete humiliation they've suffered,
06:01that they wouldn't dare show their faces.
06:03Well, I, for one,
06:04am very happy that Victor has come out from beneath
06:08whatever rock he climbed under.
06:10That way, I can rub salt in his self-inflicted wounds.
06:14And to tell you the truth,
06:15I really like doing it.
06:17Well, nothing makes me happier
06:19than the fall of the House of Newman.
06:21Especially since it's due to that AI program
06:25that Victor intended to use on Jabot.
06:28Karma is alive and well.
06:30And it is past time for him to pay for his sins.
06:34Oh, I have a feeling Victor's days
06:37of abusing his power and ruining people's lives are over.
06:41Well, I will drink to that.
06:43Hmm.
06:46What?
06:47He just toasted Nikki
06:49like he doesn't have a care in the world.
06:52I mean, how is that possible unless...
06:57You don't think.
06:58What?
07:00Well, I...
07:01I don't know.
07:02But why does seeing Victor look so smug
07:05make me so nervous?
07:07Yes.
07:11So, I'm out of pocket a few hours
07:13and you're worried about me?
07:18I was busy.
07:20Things to attend to.
07:23Like Phyllis?
07:25Why do you ask?
07:27Well, she has been off the grid as well.
07:31Okay.
07:34So, did you confront her?
07:36Did you do something to her?
07:39Did you put her in danger
07:40so that she would give us back our company?
07:44To be honest with you,
07:45I don't care what she's doing
07:47and what condition she's in.
07:48Okay?
07:50Well, I'm happy to hear that.
07:53But I am going to need an answer
07:56as to what you've been up to.
07:57Then let me set you straight.
08:01I'm doing everything in my power
08:02to make sure that our company
08:04returns to our control.
08:10You don't seem too pleased
08:11about this change in plans.
08:13I am not.
08:15Dare I ask what happened?
08:17You weren't exactly forthcoming
08:19about what you were up to
08:20other than you were going after Phyllis.
08:23The plan is simple.
08:26Daniel is already refusing
08:28to have anything to do with his mother.
08:30And Summer is furious with Phyllis
08:32for hijacking the Newman family legacy.
08:35So I want to talk to her.
08:36I want to convince her
08:37to actively align herself with us.
08:40Against Phyllis?
08:41Yes.
08:42Yes.
08:43You want to weaponize Summer's anger
08:44against her own mother?
08:45That's an awfully strong word.
08:47Am I wrong?
08:49Not weaponize.
08:50As much as present a united front.
08:54I want Phyllis to see
08:55that if she continues down this path,
08:57if she doesn't give us back Newman
08:58and all of its entities,
09:00that she is going to be completely
09:02and utterly alone in this world.
09:05Abandoned by her daughter and son.
09:07It's pretty harsh, don't you see?
09:09It's just...
09:11look at it as a choice.
09:13Phyllis can continue to be greedy
09:15and selfish
09:16and sit on top of her little world
09:18all by herself.
09:20Or she can do the right thing.
09:23And be welcome back
09:24into the arms of her loving kids.
09:26Seems like a pretty simple choice to me.
09:29But this is Phyllis we're talking about.
09:32So, what's the snag exactly?
09:35I was going to go to Milan tonight
09:37to talk to Summer face to face.
09:40I was hoping that Nick would come with me.
09:43They're so close
09:44and I know that his input
09:46would help to convince her
09:47to see the wisdom of this move.
09:49He refused?
09:52Yeah.
09:54Unfortunately, Nick is not very keen
09:55on coming between his daughter
09:57and her mother.
09:58So, he asked me for some more time
10:00to think about it.
10:01Hmm.
10:03Huh?
10:04What?
10:06I can't help but notice
10:07this sounds awfully similar
10:09to what you were f***ing with Billy
10:11and the kids.
10:12And ultimately,
10:13you opted not to turn them
10:15against their dad.
10:17But instead,
10:18you decided to put some distance
10:20between them.
10:21Are you going to offer
10:22that same grace to your brother?
10:23This is a totally different situation.
10:27What Phyllis has done
10:28to this family
10:28is far more egregious
10:30than Billy's actions.
10:32Yeah, I know.
10:33He took up a payoff
10:36for being a cowardly,
10:38self-serving weasel.
10:40But...
10:41What?
10:42Phyllis has gutted us.
10:45Second of all,
10:46I mean, Summer is an adult.
10:48She's had a lifetime
10:49of watching her mother
10:50do selfish, disgusting things.
10:54Like when Phyllis
10:55faked her own death.
10:56It's hard to forget.
10:58She put her kids through hell
11:00without a second thought.
11:02Summer,
11:03she suffered so much from them.
11:05But she and Phyllis
11:06have become close again, right?
11:08Until this latest stunt,
11:10yes, they have.
11:12But I'm going to use this.
11:13I'm going to use it
11:15to convince Summer
11:16to side with us.
11:18I just wish that Nicholas
11:19would help me,
11:20would make things
11:20so much easier.
11:22I understand that
11:24he doesn't want Summer
11:25to be put in the middle
11:26of this.
11:28But if it helped us
11:30to save our father's legacy,
11:31don't you think
11:32it would be worth it?
11:37You're not saying anything.
11:39Does that mean
11:39you don't agree?
11:40I can see how strongly
11:42you feel about this.
11:44but I want to ask you
11:45a question
11:47and I hope
11:48you don't take it
11:48the wrong way.
11:56You can ask me anything
11:57that you want,
11:58but if you think
11:59you're going to talk me
11:59out of this,
12:00you won't.
12:00No, I know better
12:01than to stand in front
12:02of a freight train
12:03going full speed.
12:04I want this,
12:05Maid.
12:06I want my family's company back
12:08and stopping Phyllis's
12:10key to it.
12:11So I'm not going to give up
12:12until that woman
12:13sees the light
12:13and Newman Enterprises
12:15is back where it belongs.
12:17I see the logic
12:18in your plan
12:19and it could very well
12:21pay off the way you hope.
12:23Okay,
12:25but you have a question.
12:27It's actually
12:28on another track
12:29altogether.
12:30Okay.
12:32Look,
12:32I want this to work out
12:34for you.
12:34I do.
12:36Company back in your hands,
12:37your family whole again,
12:39but
12:41if things don't go to plan...
12:42No,
12:43they will.
12:45I'm sorry.
12:47Just continue.
12:48If they don't,
12:50what are some other options
12:51for you?
12:52Have you thought about that?
12:53What are you talking
12:54about other options?
12:55What if this doesn't work out?
12:57What if Phyllis
12:58has already won?
12:59Say,
13:01the legacy is gone
13:02and you can't fight her.
13:04Have you considered
13:05what you would do then?
13:11Taking care of something
13:12that would return Newman to us,
13:16that something has to be Phyllis,
13:19that you act like
13:20she's not a problem.
13:22not as far as I'm concerned,
13:23no.
13:24Well,
13:25she's a problem for me.
13:26She stole Chance
13:28the ride out from under me
13:29and gave it to Billy
13:29to run into the ground.
13:31Sweetheart,
13:31I'm very well aware
13:32that it's very important
13:33for you
13:34to protect Catherine's
13:35legacy.
13:36I know that.
13:37That's hard to do
13:38when it's in somebody else's hands,
13:40especially Billy's.
13:41Sweetheart,
13:42I assure you,
13:44you will soon be
13:45at the helm
13:45of their company again.
13:47Trust me.
13:49I do trust you.
13:52I'd like a few more details
13:54just to ease my mind.
13:58Well,
13:59you know,
14:02let me just say
14:03that I gave
14:04Cain Aspie
14:05a few incentives,
14:06you know,
14:07to make sure
14:08that he
14:10makes things right.
14:11Cain?
14:12Why Cain?
14:14What were the incentives?
14:16I let you know
14:17at another time.
14:20Can you at least tell me
14:21that you have spoken
14:22to Lily
14:23and that she and the twins
14:24are all right?
14:26Lily
14:26and her children
14:27are all right.
14:29Okay?
14:30I assume you've been
14:31keeping her apprised
14:32of the situation.
14:33Yes,
14:34she knows exactly
14:35what's going on.
14:37Don't you worry
14:37about a thing.
14:40You're so confident.
14:43Makes me
14:44dare
14:45to hope
14:46that we will
14:46get everything back.
14:52Cheers,
14:53my love.
14:57the mustache
14:58is definitely
14:58very pleased
14:59with himself.
15:00I can feel
15:00his arrogance
15:01from here.
15:02Jack,
15:03everything points
15:04to Newman Enterprise
15:05as being a total loss,
15:06but look at them.
15:08Is it possible
15:10that Victor
15:11has figured out
15:11some way
15:12to outsmart
15:13Phyllis and Billy?
15:13Oh,
15:14I have no doubt
15:15he is pulling out
15:16every stop
15:16to achieve
15:17exactly that.
15:18We just have to hope
15:19that he's too late,
15:20that the damage done
15:21to Victor
15:23and his ugly legacy
15:24is irreparable.
15:30Thank you
15:31for the offer,
15:33but
15:35now thanks to you
15:36I think I know
15:37which way
15:37I want to go with it.
15:39Are you sure
15:39I can't change your mind?
15:43You know,
15:43you got a lot going on.
15:44I just don't want
15:45to get in the way
15:46of that.
15:47Are you kidding?
15:50I could use
15:50the distraction.
15:52You didn't want
15:53to talk about it
15:54before.
15:55It's okay.
15:56You don't have
15:56to talk about it now.
15:59Sharon let it slip
16:00that I'm filing
16:01for divorce.
16:04Oh.
16:08She was
16:08fine with it.
16:13She told me
16:13that I have to let her go
16:14and that I have to get on
16:15with my life
16:16with Arya.
16:21I mean,
16:22how could this be
16:22something Arya said
16:24to me?
16:26I mean,
16:26I just thought
16:27I hoped that she would be
16:31I mean,
16:32I could just see
16:33the pain in her eyes
16:34and I could see
16:34that she needs help
16:36and she needs me
16:38and I just wanted
16:39to reach out
16:40and take her
16:41into my arms
16:42and just tell her
16:42that everything
16:43was going to be okay.
16:46But she shut me up
16:49and wanted me to go.
16:50so I lived.
16:54No, I'm sorry.
16:56I know how hard
16:57that must have been
16:58for you.
17:01So that is why
17:03I need a distraction
17:07so I can just
17:08focus on something else
17:10other than the demons
17:11inside of my head
17:12and music is just
17:13how I know
17:14how to do that.
17:15So are you sure
17:17you can't play for me
17:18what you have?
17:24I guess
17:26yes
17:28I
17:30maybe
17:30could use your help.
17:46I think this has legs.
17:48Yeah?
17:56I don't know if I'm like that.
18:19I think it's really good.
18:23You're not just saying that.
18:24No.
18:26I only say things I mean
18:27and
18:29especially
18:29when it comes to music.
18:33I think we make
18:34a really good team.
18:38Daniel Romulati Jr.
18:40I will never
18:40ever
18:41forgive you
18:42for this.
18:51I know you're not
18:52one to take pleasure
18:54in other people's
18:55misfortunes.
18:55but in Victor's case
18:56I'm willing
18:57to make an exception.
18:58No.
18:59No, I enjoy
19:00watching him toppled
19:01from his self-made throne
19:03especially since
19:04that fall
19:05happened
19:06through the same
19:07means he intended
19:08to use to destroy me.
19:10No, I just worry
19:11about Nikki.
19:13Of course you do.
19:14And the rest
19:15of the family
19:15that is dragged
19:16down with him.
19:17Well, as long
19:18as he stays
19:19down this time
19:20that man
19:20has more lives
19:21than it can.
19:22Yeah, that is
19:23the rub, isn't it?
19:24Every time he's down
19:26no matter how hopeless
19:28he seems to
19:28get back up
19:29and end out
19:30in a better position
19:32than he was
19:32when it all started.
19:33Well, it's beyond
19:34infuriating.
19:35Yeah, I would admire
19:36that quality
19:37in anyone else
19:38and Victor
19:38I find it nauseating
19:40but this time
19:41I honestly think
19:42he has
19:42fully been neutralized.
19:45So any doubts
19:46you have
19:46about the permanence
19:48of his downfall
19:50please let me
19:51enjoy this moment.
19:52Oh, Jay
19:53I want nothing more
19:55than to enjoy it
19:56with you.
19:57It's just seeing
19:58Victor and Nikki
20:00out and about
20:01in a public place
20:02looking so satisfied
20:03I can't
20:04I can't help
20:05but be suspicious.
20:06It's a weak attempt
20:07to maintain appearances.
20:09Victor is never
20:10going to admit defeat.
20:12In fact
20:13we'll probably bury
20:14that bastard
20:15with
20:15that never say die
20:18look on his face.
20:19No.
20:21And there it is.
20:22Don't let him
20:23get to you.
20:24Hard not to.
20:26Oh.
20:27Oh.
20:28It's Patrick
20:29from the office.
20:30It's the
20:30Underwood deal.
20:32I better take this.
20:33Yeah.
20:33By all means.
20:34Hey.
20:35What's going on, Patrick?
20:36Is it a girl?
20:40Is it a girl?
20:41Yeah.
20:43All right.
20:45Yeah.
20:46Talk to me.
20:52There's no way
20:53failure is an option.
20:54I won't even consider it.
20:56But
20:56if it does happen
20:59reclaiming
21:00my father's legacy
21:01means everything
21:02to me.
21:03Me.
21:03Everything.
21:05My father
21:06has poured
21:07his heart
21:07and soul
21:08into building
21:08a legacy
21:09for this family.
21:11His blood
21:12and sweat
21:12and tears.
21:14I've never
21:15taken that lightly.
21:16I'm not going to
21:17sit by
21:18and watch him
21:19brought to his knees
21:20his company
21:21ripped away from him
21:22by someone
21:23as disgusting
21:24as Phyllis Somers.
21:26I absolutely get it
21:27but this is
21:28Victor Newman
21:28we're talking about here.
21:30The man is never
21:31down for long.
21:34It's different
21:34this time, Nate
21:35and you know it.
21:36What I do know
21:37is that no matter
21:38what happens
21:38to his company
21:39he will still
21:40come out ahead.
21:41How can you
21:42say that?
21:43Because he has
21:44the love
21:44of his large
21:45and very loyal
21:46family
21:48and in my eyes
21:49that is where
21:49Victor Newman's
21:50treasure lies.
21:51I agree
21:52but that doesn't
21:53mean I'm willing
21:53to stop fighting.
21:54I am not
21:55going to give up.
21:56I'm not going
21:56to give up
21:57until every division
21:59every piece
21:59of furniture
22:00every pen
22:01on every desk
22:01is right back
22:02where it belongs.
22:03So it's all on you?
22:04I want him to be
22:05on me.
22:06I want to be
22:07the one
22:07to give Newman
22:08Enterprises
22:09back to my father.
22:11Is that so selfish?
22:13No.
22:14Do you think
22:14it's egotistical?
22:16It sounds like
22:17a daughter
22:18who loves her father.
22:20It might be
22:21a little more
22:22than that.
22:23How so?
22:26I've always been
22:27my father's
22:27right hand
22:29but now
22:30not so much.
22:33I'm not sure
22:34I agree with that.
22:38Adam.
22:39Adam
22:40is the one
22:40that he confides in.
22:42The classic
22:42prodigal son.
22:43The one who's
22:44given him
22:45so much grief.
22:46He's the one
22:46that my dad
22:47confides in.
22:48Not me.
22:48Not Nicholas.
22:50He has Adam
22:51do things
22:51that he would
22:51never ask us
22:52to do.
22:53Let alone
22:53even tell us.
22:54Probably because
22:55Adam isn't afraid
22:56to get his hands dirty.
22:57But neither am I.
22:58I am not.
23:00Not when it comes
23:00to defending
23:01my family.
23:02Okay.
23:05It took a long
23:06time for me
23:07to get to a place
23:08where I felt
23:09like my father
23:10saw me as his
23:11rightful heir.
23:13And now
23:14I'm not in the room
23:15like I used to be
23:16and I don't like it.
23:18And you feel
23:19the need to prove
23:19yourself.
23:22I just know
23:23that there's
23:23a part of me
23:25a very big part
23:26of me that wants
23:27to be the one
23:27that put a smile
23:28back on my father's
23:29face when I tell
23:31him that I'm
23:31returning his
23:32company to him.
23:35Is that so terrible?
23:37No, I get it.
23:39And I want
23:39that for you.
23:42Although
23:43I still think
23:45it might not
23:45be a bad idea
23:46to have a
23:47contingency plan.
23:49Hey, Mom.
23:50It's nice to see you, too.
23:51Daniel.
23:52Daniel,
23:53what the hell?
23:54How was your trip
23:55to Milan?
23:56I'm surprised
23:56you're back so soon.
23:57You know how
23:57my trip went.
23:58Summer wouldn't
23:59even let me
23:59in the door.
24:01Well, I mean,
24:02I'm not surprised.
24:04I'm kind of shocked
24:05that you're
24:05acting surprised
24:06because, see,
24:07I knew that
24:07your trip was
24:08a bad idea
24:08from the minute
24:09you messaged me
24:10about it.
24:10Well, then,
24:11why didn't you
24:11have a conversation
24:12with me?
24:13What, what,
24:13am I going to
24:14talk to you?
24:14You weren't
24:14going to listen
24:15to me.
24:15Hey, why don't
24:16we go someplace
24:16where we can
24:17actually work on
24:18Wait, did you
24:18really think
24:18you're going
24:19to be walking
24:19away from me
24:20right now?
24:22It's exactly
24:22what I said
24:23I was going
24:23to do last time
24:24because I am
24:24out of your life.
24:25Remember?
24:26What are you doing?
24:27We finally have
24:28it all.
24:29Finally.
24:33Why would you
24:34possibly want
24:35to sabotage
24:36me to your
24:36sister?
24:37Sabotage you,
24:38mom?
24:38No one sabotages
24:39you better than
24:40you.
24:41No, you filled
24:42her head with
24:43all of these
24:44thoughts that
24:45I'm the bad
24:45guy.
24:46You stole
24:47Newman's legacy.
24:48You stole
24:48Summer's legacy.
24:50Victor kidnapped
24:51Lily and her kids
24:52because of something
24:52that you did.
24:53Oh, no, no, no,
24:54no, no, no.
24:54No, no, no.
24:56That wasn't because
24:57of me.
24:57That was Victor.
24:58He did that on
24:59his own.
25:00And they're fine,
25:01by the way.
25:01Oh, they're fine?
25:02Yes.
25:02Has anyone heard
25:03from them?
25:03Oh, that's not
25:04my point.
25:05Okay, you know
25:05what?
25:05I don't care
25:06what your point
25:06is.
25:07My point is
25:08you have upended
25:09people's lives
25:09because of your
25:10greed and because
25:11of your selfishness.
25:11And because of
25:12my brilliance
25:13and my courage.
25:14My courage,
25:15Daniel.
25:16But you're never
25:17going to acknowledge
25:18that, are you?
25:19No, I think
25:20you're on your own
25:20without me.
25:21Well, I'm not
25:21losing Summer
25:22and I'm not
25:23losing you.
25:23I'm not doing that.
25:24You destroyed
25:25Newman Enterprises.
25:26I don't know
25:27how you thought
25:27that someone was
25:28just going to sit by
25:29and not be pissed
25:29off at you for that.
25:30You know what?
25:31She wouldn't be mad.
25:32She would be
25:33canonizing me.
25:34Seriously.
25:35But you and Nick
25:37got in her head.
25:38Me?
25:39Yes.
25:40Yes.
25:40Both of you.
25:41Both of you.
25:42You got in her head
25:43and made her think
25:44that I did all
25:45of these horrible
25:46things.
25:47Right?
25:47It was like
25:48a one-man smear
25:49campaign.
25:50You really think
25:51I'm going to sit
25:52back and allow
25:52that to happen?
25:54I mean,
25:55you think that
25:56you're going to
25:56get away with
25:57that with me?
25:58No way in hell,
25:59Daniel.
26:14Nicky?
26:16Diana?
26:18You know,
26:19I'm surprised
26:19to see you
26:20and Victor
26:20out on the town.
26:22It must be hard
26:23to put on
26:23a brave face
26:24after the
26:25catastrophic loss
26:26of Newman
26:27Enterprise's
26:28chancellor.
26:29How are you
26:30holding up?
26:31Spare me,
26:31Diane.
26:32You followed
26:33me in here
26:34for a reason,
26:34so why don't
26:35you just say
26:35what you want
26:36to say?
26:37Fine.
26:38I want you
26:39to stop using
26:40the tragedy
26:41your husband
26:42brought on you
26:43and your family
26:44as a way
26:44to score
26:45sympathy points
26:46with mine.
26:47Now,
26:48Jack might
26:48offer you
26:49some compassion
26:50because he is
26:51kind and decent
26:52and obviously
26:53patient,
26:54but you really
26:55need to find
26:56another shoulder
26:57to cry on.
26:58Why are you
26:59so threatened?
27:00Oh, I'm not
27:01threatened.
27:02I'm just tired
27:03of constantly
27:04finding poor
27:05sniveling Nicky
27:06every time
27:07I turn around.
27:08Of course
27:09you're threatened,
27:09Diane.
27:10Jack and I
27:11have been very
27:12close for a long
27:13time,
27:13and I haven't
27:14put him through
27:15a fraction
27:16of the agony
27:17that you have
27:17over the years,
27:18which makes me
27:19think maybe you
27:21have serious
27:22doubts that you
27:23are capable
27:24of holding
27:24on to a man
27:25that you
27:26don't deserve.
27:29I know all
27:30too well
27:31what it feels
27:31like to face
27:32the loss
27:33of a career
27:33you adore.
27:35When I learned
27:35I'd never be able
27:36to perform surgery
27:37again,
27:38I was devastated.
27:41Even though
27:42I wasn't innocent
27:43in bringing about
27:44the circumstances
27:45behind it,
27:46I remember
27:47how bitter I was.
27:49I couldn't go back,
27:50couldn't undo
27:51what had been done.
27:53That loss of control
27:54was the worst.
27:57I was lost
27:58for a long time.
27:59You think
28:00that's gonna be me?
28:01If we lose
28:02Newman Enterprises,
28:03we're good?
28:03Victoria,
28:04I know how strong
28:05you are.
28:06Driven.
28:07Determined
28:08to be the one
28:08to fix things.
28:11You calling me
28:12a control freak?
28:14You are used
28:15to the world
28:15turning on your
28:16say-so.
28:18And if that world
28:19suddenly stops
28:20turning,
28:20it can be scary.
28:22Unsettling.
28:24So you're right
28:25the idea
28:25of a fix
28:27for me
28:27is to explore
28:28other options.
28:30Look,
28:31you've been working
28:31for your father
28:32most of your life.
28:34You've been
28:35at the helm
28:35of Newman,
28:36stepping in
28:37for him at times.
28:39You probably
28:40saw yourself
28:40taking over
28:41permanently one day,
28:42filling his shoes.
28:44I so hate
28:45that you said
28:46that in the past tense.
28:48The thought
28:48of that safety net
28:49being yanked out
28:50from Monday,
28:50you can be jarring
28:51on a million
28:52different levels.
28:53You're so brilliant
28:55and talented.
28:57And I don't want
28:58you to have
28:58even one doubt
28:59about what you're
28:59capable of,
29:00what the future holds,
29:01whether it involves
29:03Newman Enterprises
29:04or not.
29:06That's why
29:07I want to encourage
29:08you to at least
29:09think about
29:10what a reinvention
29:11of Victoria
29:13Newman
29:13might look like.
29:18You know,
29:18for the record,
29:19me and Nick,
29:19we didn't fill
29:20Summer's head
29:20with negativity.
29:21We filled it
29:22with the facts,
29:23a.k.a.
29:24the truth.
29:24Okay,
29:24that's a lie.
29:25You spun the story
29:26to make me look bad.
29:27That's what you did.
29:28Don't you get
29:28that this
29:30is for the family.
29:31I did this
29:32for the family.
29:33No,
29:33no,
29:34you did this
29:34for you.
29:35I don't know
29:35why you make
29:36me regret
29:37wanting to believe
29:37you.
29:40Wow,
29:40Daniel.
29:41This must be
29:42very difficult
29:43to watch.
29:43Please don't do that.
29:44You don't need
29:45to involve her.
29:45Do you mind,
29:46love,
29:46to just give us
29:47a second in private?
29:48Do you mind?
29:50No,
29:51Tessa's not
29:51going anywhere.
29:59You have no idea
30:01what Jack and I have
30:02because you have
30:03chosen to stay
30:04with a man
30:04with no integrity
30:06and no soul.
30:08Well,
30:09I'm not the one
30:09who's so insecure
30:10I need to accost
30:11somebody in the ladies' room.
30:13Oh,
30:13I'm just freshening up
30:15but it wouldn't be
30:16a bad idea
30:17for you to stay
30:18away from my husband.
30:19Oh,
30:19well,
30:19that will never happen
30:20because Jack and I
30:22share a very special bond,
30:23something that you
30:24don't understand
30:25or ever could.
30:27No,
30:27it could happen
30:28if you would stop
30:29playing damsel
30:30in distress
30:31at every turn.
30:32I don't go looking
30:32for sympathy
30:33from my dear friend.
30:34He just gives it to me.
30:37That's what friends do
30:38but you wouldn't know
30:39anything about that
30:40because you don't have any.
30:46Oh,
30:47and that lip color,
30:49not one of Chaveau's best.
30:56I promise you
30:57I am fine.
30:59I am fine.
30:59Even if we lose
31:00the company for good,
31:01I will survive.
31:02We all will.
31:03I have no doubt
31:04but it will knock
31:05the wind out of you.
31:06I'm just trying
31:07to minimize that pain
31:08by encouraging you
31:10to think of other ventures
31:11that might give you
31:12equal satisfaction.
31:14Such as?
31:16I don't know.
31:17Maybe you have an idea
31:18of starting your own company
31:19or maybe you want to go
31:21in a completely
31:22different direction.
31:23Have you
31:24seen yourself
31:25as a professor
31:26taking after Cole?
31:27What?
31:28In a classroom
31:30full of students
31:31teaching
31:33business 101?
31:35No.
31:35No, thank you.
31:36Okay.
31:37Um, maybe,
31:38I don't know.
31:40What did you want to be
31:41when you were a kid?
31:42A CEO.
31:44Oh.
31:44What?
31:46Yeah.
31:48Uh, say,
31:50what about a dancer?
31:51Mm, two left feet.
31:54A singer?
31:55Tone deaf.
31:56Don't say cook, either,
31:58because you know
31:58I can't cook.
31:59I can bake chocolate chip cookies,
32:01but that's baking.
32:02You win for now.
32:04I'm just trying
32:05to open your mind
32:06to other possibilities.
32:08Understood.
32:09And I appreciate that.
32:11but right now
32:12I'm focusing
32:13all of my energy
32:14on succeeding.
32:16I want
32:17Newman Enterprises back
32:18and I'm gonna get it.
32:23I'll keep me posted.
32:28Something's wrong.
32:29What's happened?
32:32I'll, uh,
32:33fill you in
32:33on the way home,
32:34my darling.
32:34Let's go.
32:36Okay.
32:42Hey, what's wrong?
32:45Nothing.
32:46I saw you and Nikki
32:47leaving the room earlier.
32:49Uh, you two
32:50didn't get into it,
32:51did you?
32:51No.
32:52No, of course not.
32:53I just,
32:54I told her I was sorry
32:56about Newman Enterprises
32:57and Chancellor
32:58and everything else.
33:00And she didn't
33:00take that so well.
33:01Well, coming from me,
33:02hardly.
33:03And that was it?
33:05Jack,
33:06what else would we
33:07possibly have to talk about?
33:09How would you look at that?
33:11The facade
33:11has already crumbled.
33:13I guess Victor
33:14got some bad news.
33:17Couldn't happen
33:18to a more deserving
33:19son of a bitch.
33:27There's no reason
33:28for Tessa to leave, Mom,
33:29because I have nothing
33:30left to say to you.
33:30I thought I made
33:31that position very clear.
33:32Yeah, I find your position
33:33and the way you're
33:34talking to me
33:35detestable.
33:36I don't care.
33:37Come on, let's go.
33:38Now, how many times
33:38do I have to tell you this?
33:41What I did,
33:42I did for us.
33:44I did it for our family.
33:46Don't you understand that?
33:48Lying, cheating,
33:49and stealing
33:49is not my idea of success.
33:52How long have you
33:53been out of a job?
33:56Really?
33:56Yeah.
33:57You're going with it?
33:58Yeah.
33:58If you worked with me,
34:01you'd have any job you want.
34:04Hell, you'd create a job.
34:06You'd be your own boss.
34:08Same with Summer.
34:09We could create
34:10a fashion empire.
34:11I don't want a job like that.
34:12I don't want a job like that
34:13because it would mean
34:14that I've turned in
34:14the same exact person
34:16that you've turned into.
34:17Now, I told you
34:18from the start
34:18that if you went through
34:19with this little plan of yours,
34:20you were going to lose me
34:21and Summer and Lucy.
34:23Now, I don't know
34:23if you didn't hear me,
34:25if you didn't think
34:25that I was being serious,
34:26or if you just didn't care.
34:27But now, I don't care.
34:30You have gone too far.
34:32I am done.
34:41This was nice.
34:43Even though I encouraged you
34:44to consider what life
34:45without Newman Enterprises
34:46would look like?
34:47No.
34:48I appreciate the way
34:49you challenged me.
34:50Oh.
34:51Anything I can do to help.
34:52And you do.
34:53You know that, right?
34:55I just...
34:57told you,
34:58you always help me to stop
34:59and, you know,
35:02not overreact to things.
35:04Or at least take some time
35:05and think about it
35:06before I'm gonna
35:07do what I wanna do anyway.
35:10One of the many things
35:11that make you
35:12so damn charming.
35:13I don't know about that.
35:16I do appreciate
35:17your advice, though.
35:19It just always seems
35:20to make me feel better
35:21no matter what.
35:23Whatever the future may hold.
35:25Well, I...
35:27care about your future.
35:31And you.
35:49You're just done with me forever?
35:51Seriously?
35:52You mean that?
35:53Not a decision I wanna make,
35:54but you're not really
35:55giving me much of a choice.
35:56You have no idea.
35:57You have no idea
35:58how much I love you
35:59and your sister.
36:01You are the motivating factor
36:03in every single move
36:05I make in my life.
36:08When I was in that hellhole,
36:11the thing that got me through
36:12is thinking about my family
36:15and what I would do
36:16if I was able
36:17to come back to them.
36:19Giving them the life
36:20that they'd never even dreamt of
36:21and building something
36:23that you could be proud of
36:25and you don't wanna talk to me
36:28ever again?
36:36Come on.
36:40You know, Daniel,
36:41forever's a long time.
36:43It's a long time.
36:44You mean that?
37:07Hey, I got you a message.
37:09Has there been a development
37:10with Phyllis and Newman Enterprises?
37:16This is a different matter
37:17in to Anderson.
37:19What is it?
37:22Concerns of Matt Clark.
37:26What about him?
37:29The judge who was given
37:31the case against Matt
37:34threw it out.
37:36He threw it out?
37:38How the hell does that happen?
37:40The detective involved
37:42in the case was compromised.
37:45I don't know.
37:45If the case has been thrown out,
37:47then that means...
37:48That means that Matt Clark
37:49is free.
37:50It means that Matt Clark
37:53And that means that Matt
37:55will have to do it.
37:56The judge will have
37:56is not to be done.
37:56Then you can do it.
37:58If it is hard to stand now
37:58Not to be honest.
37:58You can do it.
