00:07emergency

00:12the office i didn't think anything of it he works he works late and gets last minute meetings all
00:16the time you talked to his assistant and some of the rest of the staff i kept it casual we
00:20don't
00:20want to freak anyone out but no one's heard from dad today this doesn't sound like jack at all
00:25he would never not text you back no not even when it's just a heart emoji doesn't leave many other
00:30plausible explanations does it and the ones we do have terrify me and they all lead back to victor
00:36you know i i could see it in his eyes billy when kyle and i confronted him he was telling
00:40the truth
00:43so victor has dragged somewhere and he's demanding chancellor back and we never see my brother again
00:56you son of a bitch
01:12hey can anyone hear me open the door
01:22whoever you are tell me what the hell this is about
01:25oh
01:27oh
01:29oh
01:29oh
01:29oh
01:32oh
01:40oh
01:41oh
01:45oh
02:28Oh, Walt, when I get to my head, you came back to find me.
02:33Aw, is this how you soothe your wounded ego since Claire wrote you off?
02:38Pretend the rest of us want you.
02:41Maybe deep down you really do.
02:43We both know that's a lie.
02:47Stop beating me up.
02:48Let me buy you a drink.
02:53Right, right.
02:54I want to talk to the head of marketing.
02:56I keep on calling her and she's not picking up what's going on.
02:59This is quiet quitting.
03:01Yeah, I don't really have time for this.
03:04I'm calling people and they're not picking up.
03:06I realize the new ones are toast, but I am the boss now.
03:09So, I want you to tell everybody this.
03:13Whoever doesn't pick up my phone calls is fired.
03:16There's a lot of dead weight here.
03:18Yes, they will be fired.
03:23Hey!
03:24Oh, my goodness.
03:25That was my assistant.
03:26She didn't tell me you were coming up.
03:28Come on in.
03:29Come on in.
03:30You want some coffee?
03:31I'm good.
03:31All right, well, I'll get some for myself.
03:34All right.
03:37So, um, this is good.
03:45Unless it isn't.
03:47I mean, you're here.
03:50I figure you want to work things out.
03:54Unless you don't.
03:56We should be very cruel to show up at my office just to cut me off again.
04:06Come on.
04:07You want to be here?
04:08Talk to me.
04:11Come on.
04:24You couldn't have just left me my phone?
04:44Tonight, Kathy Bainsworth...
04:54Think.
04:55Think.
04:57Where was I?
04:58The office?
05:00The parking garage?
05:03That's not the Atlantic out there.
05:05That's the Great Lakes.
05:08Lake Michigan.
05:09Why would somebody put me out on the water?
05:13Somebody has me in here, and my phone is out there.
05:16And if it's off, Diane can't track me.
05:22Does she even know I'm missing?
05:26No, Shoreline.
05:29I need to see the other side.
05:34How far away from shore are we?
05:36Well, where did we board?
05:39Board?
05:40I just board.
05:42I was carried or dragged.
05:43Maybe with a bag over my head.
05:46Who would do this?
05:49Lock the door and leave me guessing.
05:51It makes no sense.
05:58Who are you?
06:01What do you want?
06:02Who are you working for?
06:07Was it Victor?
06:09He has no reason to come after me.
06:13Oh, who am I kidding?
06:15Victor will always find a reason.
06:17If not him,
06:20then who could it be?
06:24So, I hope you like my new digs.
06:27My office now.
06:32Next time you come, maybe you can bring Lucy.
06:36She sent me a meme, by the way.
06:37I gave it a like.
06:38So, that was good.
06:40Okay, you want to talk about us?
06:45You want to work things out?
06:47Maybe say you're sorry to me for jumping down my throat the last time we were together?
06:52I'm the one that should be sorry.
06:53Well, I mean, you're here.
06:56Why do you think that is?
06:58Well, I think maybe you want to apologize for what you said to me?
07:04So, you have no idea that Cain came to me to defend you?
07:08Oh, no.
07:11I didn't...
07:12I don't have any idea.
07:14What did he say?
07:16He said that it was all his idea, that you weren't making him do it,
07:20and that I should forgive you for what you did to Newman Enterprises.
07:26I'm sorry.
07:26He said that you should forgive me for something that Victor's done a million times.
07:33Okay.
07:33Yeah, I agree.
07:34Sure.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Yeah, you also said that your life is sad and empty without me and Lucy and Summer in it,
07:41and that if we were willing to take you back in, that you might be willing to give Newman back.
07:46Wait a second.
07:47Wait a second.
07:47He said that my life is sad and empty?
07:52Really?
07:52He makes me sound pathetic.
07:56That's...
07:58Yeah, I mean, but I agree with that.
08:01I miss you guys.
08:03I love you very much.
08:06Considering you seem to think that I should be apologizing to you right now,
08:10I don't know.
08:10Maybe he was all wrong.
08:15Daniel, what you said to me the last time we were together was horrible.
08:20It's not insane for me to think that you would regret it.
08:23What about you?
08:24Do you have any regrets?
08:27I mean, of course I want things to go back to the way we were.
08:30I want that.
08:33But I mean, I can't do that alone.
08:35You're here.
08:37And I mean, maybe you're having second thoughts about what you what you said to me.
08:43Did any of Kane's words make any difference to you?
08:51They're drinking.
08:53Sorry.
08:54Now I'm a little too busy for a three martini lunch.
08:58And have you accomplished anything since I saw you earlier?
09:03Well, I got shot down for a job.
09:07Again.
09:09I have been there.
09:12But not anymore.
09:15Now, you have your name on the company.
09:18And I will spend every hour of the day making sure it stays there.
09:21We can toast to that.
09:23Again.
09:25No drinking for the success.
09:28But you did sit down.
09:30Well, that's because we were friendly-ish in L.A.
09:35And Claire claims that she's not going to be digging into my past anymore.
09:39Friendly-ish.
09:40No, that's a take.
09:43Why are you being so chummy?
09:46Oh, wait.
09:47It's because you need a job.
09:48And I'm suddenly in a position to hire.
09:51You know, I accept.
09:52I didn't offer.
09:53Oh, that can change.
09:55Don't count on it.
09:57Well, what about the other thing?
10:00What are you talking about?
10:04You and me teaming up.
10:07To end the Claire-Kyle connection.
10:09For good.
10:14Mom, I saw that same look in Victor's eyes.
10:17And as furious as it made me, do we need to consider the possibility that Victor is playing us?
10:22That he knows all the right buttons to push?
10:25And this is all a part of his twisted chess game and he doesn't actually have that?
10:29I mean, would he really go that far?
10:31So you don't think he's capable of that?
10:34What?
10:34My father is locked up with Lily and her kids somewhere.
10:37I don't know what's going on with Lily, okay?
10:38But let's not pretend that this is not in Victor's wheelhouse.
10:42It wouldn't be the first time that he would stick an abit somewhere where they can't be found.
10:45He's a horrible, evil man.
10:47Yeah, we can all agree on that.
10:48But the thing is, we don't have proof.
10:50And until we get some sort of clue, this is all guesswork.
10:55I think we have to talk to Nikki.
10:57Nikki?
10:57We need to fill her in.
10:59I don't think she's going to be okay with Victor sticking Jack in a room somewhere.
11:04You want to let her know and have her work on Victor?
11:06Except Victor hasn't given us any proof.
11:09He'll just say it's a lie.
11:10And then Nikki will toss her hair and purse her lips and demand he come clean.
11:15And then Victor will rage, you know, how dare you accuse me and question me?
11:21No, no.
11:22And you know what?
11:23To be honest, Nikki is the reason that Jack is in this mess to begin with.
11:26He saved her life and Victor hates him for it.
11:30And yet Nikki just continues to defend and protect that monster.
11:35No, we're just going to forget about Nikki.
11:38But we have to do something.
11:40And we have to do it soon.
11:43Because there is no doubt in my mind that Victor wouldn't allow some horrible accident to happen to Jack.
11:51Billy, there is only one option to end this.
11:54And to end this right now.
11:57You need to agree to Victor's terms.
11:59You need to give him back Chancellor.
12:07Here's the tricky part is I don't know how I'm supposed to accept Cain's pitch when it makes zero sense.
12:11Zero sense is completely logical to me.
12:14Sure, because you fed him all the lines, right?
12:16I know, you had nothing to do with it, of course.
12:19Cain cares about me, my happiness, and my well-being.
12:22He doesn't want me to lose my kids like he's last days, okay?
12:27You know, it's funny.
12:28It almost feels like you were right there in the room with us because you keep hitting all the same
12:33talking points.
12:33Oh, really?
12:33Well, that's no surprise.
12:34We're a lot alike.
12:35Okay, what if we say for a minute that Cain's right about everything?
12:38Okay, what if we say that?
12:39And that you do want this?
12:40You want me to forgive you?
12:41I want this, of course I do.
12:42What about the rest of what he said?
12:44What about it?
12:45The part about being willing to give up Newman if we're playing happy family again.
12:52Are you ready to give up all this?
12:54Can you walk away from all of this?
12:56Are Summer and I worth it to you?
13:01The woman who choked me to death or tried has finally left me alone, and now you want me to
13:08set her off again?
13:09And have her go snooping on us again.
13:12Like, what's wrong with you?
13:14Are you really that desperate to get her back that you risked both our futures?
13:19Claire found nothing because there was nothing to find.
13:22She's not going to go back to that.
13:25We haven't had to look over our shoulder for all of five minutes, and now you want me to get
13:30between her and Kyle so you can have a clear shot.
13:34Don't be obsessive.
13:36It's not attractive.
13:37And it would be so miserable for you to get next to Kyle again, huh?
13:41Yes, it would be.
13:43That man is a walking ego with nothing to back it up.
13:47He's got looks, money, fancy last name.
13:52Then you go after him.
13:54Audra, your ego is sizable too, and the fact that Kyle turned you down has got to drive you nuts.
14:02Don't you want him to be begging to be with you again?
14:04I think you do.
14:05Even more than that, my money is on you to make that happen.
14:14Mom is right.
14:16Give Chancellor back to Nikki and Victor and wash your hands of this deal with Phyllis.
14:22Bring my father home.
14:23Okay, you just said we don't have concrete evidence that Victor is actually kidnapped Jack, yet you want me to
14:28throw away my professional career based on something we don't have evidence of?
14:32And you just reminded me that our proof is Victor.
14:35He has done things like this before.
14:36We are talking about your brother, Billy.
14:39You want him home safe or not?
14:40Oh, come on.
14:41Don't do that, man.
14:42You know I do.
14:43Then do, jerk.
14:44It's not that simple.
14:45Well, of course it is.
14:47Jack would do the same thing for you, Billy.
14:53Tell him.
14:56Tell us what?
14:58Do you have more information than you're holding out on us?
15:05Look.
15:06In this moment right now, I don't actually own Chancellor.
15:11Phyllis does, okay?
15:13She says there's a delay with the attorneys, but in this moment, I can't do anything about it.
15:18There's a delay in the contracts.
15:20Okay, so Victor kidnapped Jack for leverage and you don't even have what he wants?
15:29Oh, wait a minute.
15:31Does Phyllis know what Victor has done and yet she's holding on to Chancellor just so he won't win?
15:36No.
15:36Well, you just said that she cut Cain out of the deal because he was going to cave to Victor,
15:41so maybe that's why she's not signing Chancellor over to you.
15:44So she would rather have Jack suffer than lose to Victor?
15:46She just did it to Cain!
15:48Phyllis doesn't care about Lily, okay?
15:51Phyllis does care about Jack, whether you like it or not.
15:53She is not going to throw Jack under the bus.
15:55Not for Victor.
15:56That's for damn sure.
15:56Yeah, even if she thinks that Victor's bluffing?
15:58Yeah, you said that that was her argument with Lily.
16:01Well, maybe she knows about all this and she just assumes that Victor is bluffing again.
16:05And if she's wrong, she's willing to let Jack pay the price.
16:09Diane, even Phyllis has a line that she's not going to cross.
16:10Oh my God, can we stop having faith in people who don't deserve it?
16:16Nikki will not do anything to save Jack and neither will Phyllis.
16:20It's up to us, which means it's up to you, Phyllis.
16:25Returning Chancellor to Victor is our only hope because I want my husband home in one piece.
16:31So can't you just figure out a way to make that happen?
16:36Yeah.
16:53Hey there.
16:57Getting a little stuffy in here.
17:00You don't have to lock the door.
17:02Can't exactly swim to shore.
17:06What do you say we talk face to face?
17:11Maybe over a scotch.
17:13Got to be five o'clock somewhere, huh?
17:16Look, we don't have to be on opposite sides here.
17:23Let's talk.
17:25We can work this out.
17:27Maybe we can make a deal.
17:32Hello?
17:36Hello?
17:39Is anyone there?
17:47That wasn't exactly a compliment.
17:49But it was accurate.
17:52Think about it.
17:53Now that you have your name on the company, what's your next challenge?
17:57Because you know you get bored without one.
18:00So here you go.
18:02Here's your new mission.
18:05Like maybe you can't get over Claire, but I'm done with her.
18:09Don't care.
18:10She and Kyle were right over there, and you wanted to rip her head off.
18:15Yeah, that's because her face annoys me.
18:17And so does his, for that matter.
18:19His whole look is just so precise and perfect.
18:23But trust me, he's not always in control.
18:26I have seen it up close.
18:28So no attraction to him at all?
18:31No, the thought of being near him makes my skin crawl.
18:36Sure it does.
18:37Hey, some of us have taste.
18:40I'm not even going to get into that.
18:43Tucker.
18:44Hmm.
18:45Okay, forget.
18:47Forget romance.
18:48Just gloat.
18:50You tried for him once.
18:51You failed.
18:52No.
18:53No.
18:54The deal was to make Claire leave Kyle.
18:57And she did.
18:58Victor backed out of that deal.
19:00I didn't fail.
19:02Right, but you ended up empty-handed, though, didn't you?
19:04You didn't get Kyle.
19:06You didn't get Glissade.
19:09At least this time, you get payback.
19:13Look, I want possession to Chancellor.
19:15For many reasons, no matter where Jack is.
19:17But right now, that is up to Phyllis.
19:20And she doesn't care about anyone but herself.
19:23We've all seen that firsthand.
19:29How do we get her on board?
19:31She's going to want something for herself, there's no question.
19:33Saving Jack isn't enough.
19:36I mean, she's holding all the cards.
19:37It's exactly what she's wanted.
19:39We need to move on this now.
19:41That is the only way to minimize danger to my dad.
19:43He's right.
19:45Victor wants Chancellor back for his darling Nikki.
19:48And he has no leverage if anything, God forbid, happens to Jack.
19:53But she is such a horrible, spiteful man.
19:56That that is not a risk we can take.
19:58We need to find a way to get Phyllis to do what we want.
20:02And fast.
20:04So much for unconditional love, Daniel.
20:08So let me just get this straight.
20:10You're dangling forgiveness in front of me like a bargaining chip, right?
20:16So you won't let me back into your life until I give up everything that I've worked so hard for.
20:23This isn't my idea.
20:24Kane's the one who seems to think that you'd be so happy and so fulfilled having your family back
20:27that you'd be willing to give up stolen goods.
20:29Yeah, so you won't forgive me until I give Newman back to the previous owner, right?
20:35You work for Victor now?
20:36Why don't you just answer me?
20:37Or should I just go?
20:38I cannot believe that you're talking to me like this.
20:41I'm your mother.
20:42I'm your mother.
20:43And I love you so much.
20:45So the answer is no.
20:46You would not be willing to give back, Newman, for the people that you claim to love.
20:48That's not what I said.
20:49I didn't say that.
20:49You haven't said anything.
20:50Oh, my God.
20:51You want me to beg for forgiveness?
20:53Why?
20:54Because I did something that Victor has done countless times and Kane.
20:58This is just pointless.
21:00I shouldn't have even bothered.
21:01It's not your company I took possession of.
21:04Why do you care?
21:06Summer is a Newman.
21:07You attacked her family.
21:09Summer is my family.
21:11She is my family, too.
21:13She is your family as well.
21:15You know, Nick's her father, right?
21:17So he's also the only parent that she's talking to right now.
21:20Congratulations on that.
21:21I can't even believe this.
21:23Kane created this AI program.
21:26Victor took it to take down the Abbotts and Jabot.
21:30Victor didn't take it.
21:31You handed it to him.
21:32He put it into his system.
21:34And it turned on him.
21:35That is not my fault.
21:37And then you turned around and you screwed Kane when it was all done.
21:40You are out of control.
21:41I am in control.
21:45For the first time, I am in control.
21:48You got it?
21:52Everybody in this town looks at me like the perpetual loser.
21:55And I am not.
21:57I am not sitting on the sidelines anymore.
21:59They all put me in a box.
22:01They shoved me in it.
22:02And I am outside the box now.
22:05This is insane.
22:07Anybody else in this town, including the men, solely the men, can do whatever they want and be creative in
22:15business.
22:16But when I do it, I am evil and I am a bad mom.
22:19Oh, my God.
22:20How could you do that?
22:21I don't care about them.
22:22I don't care about anybody else in this town.
22:24I care about you.
22:25I don't think Kane was right.
22:26I don't think that you miss us.
22:27I don't think that you want us back.
22:29I think what you want is a little fan club for your little world domination party that you have going
22:34on here.
22:35But you see all of this in here.
22:36None of this makes a difference.
22:37None of this will matter in the end.
22:39But this is all you are going to have left.
22:41So I really hope you enjoy it.
22:43Congratulations.
22:43No, no, no, you're not leaving.
22:45No, no, you're not leaving.
22:51Must have been yesterday in the parking garage.
22:57That must be where they got me.
22:58How long have I been out here?
23:02Someone knocked me out?
23:04No, no, I don't have any bruises, nothing tender.
23:09Had to be chloroform or something.
23:11Someone was following me?
23:14I knew where to find me.
23:16Someone got past security.
23:18A disgruntled employee.
23:20Upset with the restructuring.
23:22Which we did because of Victor.
23:26How long am I supposed to be out here?
23:29And to what end?
23:32Victor, you son of a bitch.
23:34No one else could pull this off.
23:37No one else would want to.
23:44Ask you so good.
23:47When you and Kyle hooked up before, why'd you bother?
23:50Hmm.
23:52I was bored.
23:55Try again.
23:57It was a game we both wanted to win.
24:01And he had his little charms.
24:05Not anymore?
24:06Ugh.
24:07Like, back then, he was in the sad-eyed puppy Claire turned him into.
24:11You know, the way he tries to be so good and noble for a woman who should be in a
24:14cell.
24:15What was he like?
24:18Um, he was a smart-ass.
24:21Clever, sneaky, out for himself, and for a good time.
24:28So what happened?
24:31Well, he was supposed to help Tucker and me get Jabot.
24:34But then he decided it was more important to be a good little abbot.
24:40You sure as hell don't need Jabot now, do you?
24:44No, I do not.
24:46But that doesn't mean you can't still have some fun.
24:49Show him what he lost out on.
24:52You think putting Kyle Abbott in his place is worth risking Spectre Charles?
24:58Sally, the only person cutting me a break right now is in love with his uncle.
25:03Billy Abbott doesn't care about Kyle's love life.
25:06No, but he adores his brother Jack.
25:11Even if they fight all the time.
25:13If I go after Kyle, it pisses Jack off.
25:16And suddenly, Billy has another reason to run me down to Sally.
25:20He's done it before.
25:21But Sally partnered with you anyway.
25:24But no, this isn't about business, is it?
25:27This is about Nate.
25:29Because that's not going to happen, Audra.
25:31Yeah, neither are you and Claire.
25:34The only difference is that one of us accepts reality.
25:38Audra Charles, the realist.
25:40No.
25:41The pragmatic?
25:43Sure.
25:44Big difference, though.
25:47Is this because you're out of work right now?
25:51Do you need something to do with your time?
25:54You know, maybe you can work here.
25:57I'm sure Sienna can get you a reference.
25:59And pouring drinks here is probably your best chance of ever talking to Claire again.
26:05That's not a bad idea, as long as she doesn't have Kyle trailing it after her.
26:10Which leads us right back to this conversation.
26:13Look, it is not my job to keep those two apart.
26:16I told you why I won't do it.
26:21Abbots have you running scared.
26:24I'm surprised.
26:26Goating me will not get you what you want.
26:28Well, then what will?
26:30Hmm.
26:31Let's see.
26:31Considering I don't have time to tease a man I don't want, nothing.
26:38You see, this is, all of this, this isn't like you.
26:41Back away from a challenge.
26:43Come on.
26:44Please.
26:45Kyle only thinks he's a challenge.
26:48Telling me I could never have him, he's delusional.
26:51Well, then prove him wrong.
26:54He's not worth it.
26:56Andra, he wants you.
26:58Obviously.
26:59Well, then make him admit it.
27:02Have him come crawling back and you will be declared the winner.
27:07But that and your new title, that's as good as it gets.
27:09Unless, well, unless you're afraid to try.
27:18No logos on anything.
27:21No monograms us.
27:23A rental or someone's personal vote?
27:26A descriptive of anything branded?
27:30With or without Newman Enterprises, Victor could still afford this floating resort.
27:35But why?
27:37It's a hell of a time for him to come after me because of Nicky.
27:40Victor's spiraling after the loss of Newman and Chancellor, which has nothing to do with me.
27:48But Billy's involved.
27:53Yeah.
27:55This is about Billy.
28:00What is there left to say?
28:02Let's just talk about something that doesn't have to do with this, okay?
28:06What do you want to talk about?
28:07You want to talk about Lucy's grades?
28:09You want to talk about what books I've been reading lately?
28:10Yeah, yeah.
28:11Let's talk about books.
28:12I haven't had a lot of time to read.
28:14But yeah, I want to talk about that.
28:16So we're just going to ignore all the laws you broke, all the lines you crossed.
28:20Take a walk.
28:20Let's take a walk.
28:21Let's get some coffee.
28:23But let's talk about anything, please, that is not this.
28:27No, no, because we'd be delaying the inevitable, which is me asking you if you can give Newman back.
28:32And you're dodging me because the answer is no.
28:33Why is that the only option?
28:35Because that's who you are.
28:37Is this a bad time?
28:38Yes, it is, actually.
28:39No, not at all.
28:40All this rhetorical.
28:41Phyllis, we need to talk.
28:42But we don't need to talk.
28:44Contracts take a while, Billy.
28:46Can't you see I am talking to my son?
28:48Well, your son doesn't seem to mind this interruption, and you need to sign Chancellor over to me now.
29:03What do we got?
29:04They broke into the courthouse.
29:05Morning.
29:06They say Edgewater hired them to do it.
29:08You buying any of them?
29:09I don't know how many burglars are waiting around to get caught.
29:12Sheriff Country, all new, Friday at 8 Eastern on Global.
29:17I feel like you're not seeing the vision here, Audra.
29:21Uh, because I hate the man you want me to throw myself at?
29:24The way I see it, he'll be throwing himself at you.
29:28And there's a thin line between love and hate.
29:31I don't need a man.
29:33Especially not that one.
29:34But you're thinking of the man that shut you down.
29:37I am talking about the Kyle Abbott who openly admits that he can't get you out of his mind.
29:42Run a company?
29:44Marry a brand name, why not?
29:46Mmm, marriage.
29:47Hmm.
29:48Why would I want to do that?
29:51Oh, it's because you want to marry Claire.
29:53Claire, if you want a piece of the new men pie, there are better ways of getting it.
29:58You don't see her the way that I do.
30:00Yeah, that's because I'm not blinded by her shimmering halo.
30:05You are a sucker, man.
30:08Fine, I am.
30:09And I'm okay with that because it is...
30:12It's just one of those things I like being with her.
30:17It's not worth it, Holden.
30:19Giving someone the power to hurt you.
30:23Ugh.
30:24I'm not saying that you need to fall in love with Kyle.
30:27What I am saying is that the chemistry is still there.
30:30And you and I both know it.
30:32Unless...
30:33Unless it was awful when you two were together.
30:37No, it was probably the best sex of his life.
30:39Then he definitely wants more.
30:42Even if he pretends he doesn't.
30:45So give it a shot.
30:47All right.
30:48All right.
30:49With your name on the company,
30:51and an abbot on your side,
30:53no matter what you do in this lifetime,
30:55you will be untouchable.
30:59And everyone will know it.
31:05If I had the time and interest,
31:08I could make him beg.
31:12There she is.
31:14That's the Audra that I know.
31:19Can you explain to me
31:20why we have an audience for this business meeting?
31:24We have a contract that needs to be signed.
31:26I've held up my end of the deal.
31:27Now you need to do the same.
31:28Billy, do I need to explain redlining a contract?
31:32I think you get the concept to that, right?
31:34Lock it in, Phyllis.
31:34I need to own Chancellor Free and Clear,
31:36and that needs to happen now.
31:38You still haven't answered my question.
31:39Why are they here?
31:40This is the last place we want to be, Phyllis,
31:43and for the last reason.
31:44Great.
31:45Great.
31:45There's the door, Diane.
31:47You know what?
31:47I think it's better I talk to Phyllis one-on-one.
31:53Sure, you two will have this handled
31:54by the time we get to the car.
31:57Keep us posted.
31:58Yeah.
31:59And congratulations on all your success.
32:07I could go a lifetime hating her,
32:09and it still would not be long enough.
32:11Hey, Billy, what's this all about?
32:13Because it seems like more than just a pending contract.
32:15Exactly.
32:16Tell us why you're here.
32:20Don't do it, Billy.
32:21Do not give in to that son of a bitch.
32:24Play him.
32:24Or trick him.
32:25Or do whatever it takes.
32:28You know he's a liar, Billy,
32:29and you know I would never roll over
32:31and play dead for the mustache.
32:33Look, I know part of this is my fault.
32:35I wanted to be done with this war.
32:38You called me out on it.
32:39Why was I walking away?
32:42Victor won't let any of us have any peace.
32:44This is proof.
32:46Do not let him win, Billy.
32:49To hell with it.
32:51I need to get out of this room,
32:53and I will take it from there.
32:55He shut me out of my own life for months before.
32:58Put my company in danger,
32:59everyone I care about in danger.
33:01That son of a bitch.
33:21What the hell are you doing here?
33:44Batman just challenged you.
33:50To bet I'm not interested.
33:52Hmm.
33:53So you mean to tell me that you didn't just take his clothes off with your mind?
33:59You are pitiful.
34:01I'm pretty sure you did.
34:04And he returned the favor.
34:06You see, whatever chemical thing that you two have,
34:09it's all still there.
34:11And it's even better now because you don't need a thing from each other.
34:17Hmm.
34:18Audra, you deserve to be with someone who won't be self-righteous with you about your decisions.
34:24You need to be with someone who thinks just like you.
34:32And he's sitting right over there.
34:35Hmm.
34:40All this because of Claire.
34:45All right, you want me to say it?
34:47Fine, I'll say it.
34:48Yes, she got under my skin.
34:52Kyle's different with you.
34:54Claire is different with me.
34:55And Los Angeles proved that.
34:58I'm not giving up.
35:00She said she moved on.
35:02People say whatever they want.
35:04It doesn't make it true.
35:07Sorry.
35:10I just need, I just need some room with her.
35:13To, to show her why we still make sense.
35:17So, Audra, please, help me out.
35:25We both can get what we want.
35:29Huh.
35:33Well, because you asked so nicely.
35:38And then, I hate the hold that Nikki has on Jack.
35:45I resent their bond.
35:47I mean, he, he risks his sobriety for her.
35:50He risks his life.
35:51And, and, and the thanks she gives him is to allow Victor to continue this war.
35:58But if, if, if there's a chance she can help save him, then I have to go to her.
36:05I'll beg if I have to.
36:09I will do whatever it takes to bring my husband home safely, even if it means asking Nikki Newman for
36:16help.
36:17Let's not go there yet.
36:18Let Billy work on Phyllis.
36:22I can feel it, Kyle.
36:24I mean, he, he's, he's in danger and it's killing me.
36:28He needs us.
36:30Ellie knows Phyllis as well as anyone can.
36:34He can get through to her.
36:38He has to.
36:42All right, let's do this now.
36:43It has to be quick.
36:44I have lunch with my son.
36:46Well, maybe it's better he meets you there.
36:48This is between you and me.
36:51You sure?
36:52Yeah.
36:53Don't worry about it.
36:54I'm good.
36:55We'll finish up there.
37:05Do you have any idea what you just did?
37:08My son is finally willing to talk to me.
37:11Trust me, this is a bigger deal.
37:13This is about my family.
37:15You're damn right.
37:16This is about family.
37:17That's exactly why I'm here.
37:18You interrupted a possible reunion.
37:21This better be good.
37:26How the hell are you here?
37:37It's nice to see you too, Jack.
37:50Next week on The Young and the Restless.
37:52You, um, got me out of a really dangerous situation
37:55and you protected me from Matt and I owe you.
37:57So I have taken steps on my own
37:59to help eliminate the threat that Matt presents to all of us.
38:02This could be a wild goose chase.
38:04It could also be the lead we need to find out.
38:06It's the only one we have, so we have to follow it.
38:09What do I get for doing you this big favor?
38:13What do you want?
38:16A kiss.
38:18Show me the odds.
38:20You get your kiss.
38:21I don't know.
38:21Go.
38:22Throw me the odds.
38:22Go Go.
