1
00:00:06,272 --> 00:00:11,678
>> Victor: Hey, son.
They told me you were coming.
2
00:00:11,745 --> 00:00:15,448
Is there something you want to
tell me?
3
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:19,419
>> Adam: Well, after giving it
some serious thought and
4
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:22,922
discussing it with a few
respected individuals, I've
5
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:27,494
decided to accept your offer to
run McCall Unlimited.
6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,631
>> Victor: Hmm.
>> Adam: Uh, I know it may be a
7
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:34,734
little premature, but I know you
said you had run into some
8
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:37,537
stumbling blocks about acquiring
Tucker's company.
9
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:41,307
>> Victor: Yeah, I may have.
>> Adam: Well, then I would like
10
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:44,344
to offer my services to do
whatever's necessary to remove
11
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:49,182
those issues.
>> Victor: Glad to hear that.
12
00:00:49,249 --> 00:00:55,622
But I assure you, I'll make the
acquisition of McCall a reality.
13
00:00:55,688 --> 00:00:59,826
>> Adam: Uh, I just have one
stipulation.
14
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:01,961
>> Victor: Wait a minute.
Only one?
15
00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:06,966
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ] So far.
Uh, I want to run McCall as its
16
00:01:07,033 --> 00:01:09,469
own entity.
No enmeshments with
17
00:01:09,536 --> 00:01:12,872
Newman Enterprises.
And I never have to answer to
18
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:19,846
Victoria.
>> Victoria: Devon. Hello.
19
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:21,948
>> Devon: What the hell do you
want?
20
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:25,084
>> Victoria: A -- A friendlier
greeting than that?
21
00:01:25,151 --> 00:01:26,419
[ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: Well, I'd give you one
22
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:29,022
if we were friends.
Why don't you call my office and
23
00:01:29,088 --> 00:01:30,824
make an appointment like
everybody else does?
24
00:01:30,890 --> 00:01:33,359
>> Victoria: Oh, I just, um,
thought I would bypass your
25
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:36,596
personal assistant and just drop
by myself.
26
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:39,799
I understand you're not in the
office much these days, which is
27
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:42,068
completely understandable in
light of the lawsuit between you
28
00:01:42,135 --> 00:01:44,537
and Chancellor-Winters.
>> Devon: Alright, I'm not gonna
29
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,372
talk about that with you.
>> Victoria: No, no, that's not
30
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:48,374
why I stopped by.
>> Devon: Okay.
31
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:50,577
So, back to my first question.
What do you want?
32
00:01:50,643 --> 00:01:53,546
>> Victoria: I'd like to discuss
Tucker and the sale of his
33
00:01:53,613 --> 00:02:06,226
company.

>> Ashley: [ Laughs ] I can't
37
00:02:33,386 --> 00:02:36,623
get over that video you sent me
of Dom tickling the ivories on
38
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:38,391
that little keyboard.
>> Abby: Isn't that the most
39
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:40,193
adorable thing you've ever seen?
>> Ashley: Yes.
40
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:42,262
You know, my grandson's a
genius, clearly.
41
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:43,630
>> Abby: Oh.
>> Ashley: Well, seriously.
42
00:02:43,696 --> 00:02:45,965
Is there anything he can't do?
He's gonna grow up and rule
43
00:02:46,032 --> 00:02:48,067
the world.
Or at least one of his family's
44
00:02:48,134 --> 00:02:50,637
corporations, right?
He could be CEO of Jabot or
45
00:02:50,703 --> 00:02:52,605
Newman, Chancellor-Winters,
maybe.
46
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:56,209
>> Abby: McCall Unlimited.
>> Ashley: Yeah, maybe that,
47
00:02:56,276 --> 00:02:58,278
too.
>> Abby: Hmm.
48
00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,981
What's going on with you?
I mean, I haven't seen you this
49
00:03:02,048 --> 00:03:05,318
happy and excited about the
future in quite a while.
50
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:10,323
>> Ashley: We're talking about
my brilliant, gorgeous grandson.
51
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:12,258
What do you mean?
How could I not dote on him and
52
00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:15,895
envision his spectacular future?
>> Abby: Well, the present's
53
00:03:15,962 --> 00:03:20,300
pretty interesting, too.
>> Ashley: Honey, anything in
54
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,303
particular?
>> Abby: You've been spending a
55
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,538
lot of time with Tucker
recently.
56
00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:27,540
>> Ashley: Not that much,
really.
57
00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:30,009
>> Abby: And I know you said
there was this thing that you
58
00:03:30,076 --> 00:03:32,912
were trying to force him to do,
but you never told me what that
59
00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:35,548
thing was.
>> Ashley: I didn't, did I?
60
00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:41,854
>> Abby: No, you didn't.
So, would you care to elaborate?
61
00:03:46,192 --> 00:03:49,796
>> Nate: Come on inside.
We can speak privately here.
62
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:51,497
>> Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ]
You know, I'm not sure I should
63
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:53,433
be talking to a man who was
eavesdropping on my
64
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:55,268
conversation.
>> Nate: I can explain.
65
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,770
>> Daniel: You can start with
how we "both want the same
66
00:03:57,837 --> 00:04:00,106
thing."
If this has anything to do with
67
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:02,308
acquiring Omega Sphere --
>> Nate: No, no, no, this --
68
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,510
None of that.
This has absolutely nothing to
69
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:07,080
do with business.
>> Daniel: It's personal.
70
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:10,249
>> Nate: Very.
This battle between my
71
00:04:10,316 --> 00:04:14,287
cousins -- it's got me worried.
And from what I overheard, I
72
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:17,323
gather you feel the same way.
>> Daniel: So you actually give
73
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:20,693
a damn?
I'm just asking because...
74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,196
>> Nate: Yeah.
Lily's told you what I did.
75
00:04:23,262 --> 00:04:25,765
>> Daniel: Betrayed your family.
You were a step away from
76
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:28,368
selling out the company because
you got your feelings hurt.
77
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:30,503
Am I close?
>> Nate: Look, I'll regret what
78
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:34,907
I did to the day I die.
It was reckless and thoughtless,
79
00:04:34,974 --> 00:04:39,112
and I've tried to make amends.
>> Daniel: It's hard to come
80
00:04:39,178 --> 00:04:41,881
back from something like that.
>> Nate: But maybe this is a way
81
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:45,051
to repair some of that damage.
>> Daniel: What are you talking
82
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:47,720
about doing?
>> Nate: That's the thing.
83
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:50,123
I need your help.
84
00:04:58,297 --> 00:05:00,066
>> Abby: You're really not gonna
tell me what's going on with
85
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:01,167
Tucker?
>> Ashley: What do you want to
86
00:05:01,234 --> 00:05:03,169
know?
>> Abby: I want to know how he
87
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:04,437
wormed his way into your good
graces.
88
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:06,339
>> Ashley: Okay, there's been no
worming.
89
00:05:06,406 --> 00:05:08,775
>> Abby: And if he told you that
he's a changed man --
90
00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:10,343
>> Ashley: I would say,
"show me."
91
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:12,545
>> Abby: Well, you know, the
world's most fascinating man
92
00:05:12,612 --> 00:05:14,947
would have to do something
pretty big to prove that he's
93
00:05:15,014 --> 00:05:18,618
changed, right?
I mean, to say that he's sorry
94
00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:22,422
for all the lies that he's told,
for the scheme that he was doing
95
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,857
to try to take over
Chancellor-Winters and Jabot.
96
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:29,696
>> Ashley: Honey, I just can't
say anything about it right now.
97
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:32,131
>> Abby: Well, at least you're
having fun playing games with a
98
00:05:32,198 --> 00:05:34,934
man you said that you could
never trust.
99
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:38,171
Mom, I am worried about Devon.
>> Ashley: I'm not playing
100
00:05:38,237 --> 00:05:40,740
games.
I'm worried about Devon, too.
101
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:42,875
>> Abby: He has a lot of
questions that he's trying to
102
00:05:42,942 --> 00:05:46,345
answer right now.
Like, is his father being
103
00:05:46,412 --> 00:05:49,582
sincere?
Should he consider buying
104
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:54,120
McCall Unlimited?
Mom, please tell me.
105
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:57,590
Do you think that Tucker has
changed?
106
00:05:57,657 --> 00:06:01,127
Devon needs someone that he can
believe in.
107
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:05,932
Is there a chance that Tucker
could be a good, honest man?
108
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,303
>> Victoria: So, here's what I
know.
109
00:06:10,369 --> 00:06:14,140
Tucker wants to sell
McCall Unlimited and divest
110
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:18,244
himself of everything.
He just wants to walk away.
111
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:21,247
But it seems that some person of
interest has come in and bought
112
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:26,552
up all of his debt.
I suspect that person is Ashley.
113
00:06:26,619 --> 00:06:28,654
>> Devon: Okay.
>> Victoria: So, my question to
114
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:31,691
you is, did Tucker approach you
about buying the company and
115
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:34,660
taking control?
>> Devon: That's what you came
116
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:38,064
here to ask me?
Why do you care?
117
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:40,767
>> Victoria: I wonder -- are you
aware that your father
118
00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:43,903
approached me first about buying
his company?
119
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,707
Y-You didn't know that, did you?
>> Devon: Well, why would I
120
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:49,742
believe a word that comes out of
your mouth anyway?
121
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:52,512
>> Victoria: I have nothing to
gain from lying to you, but
122
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:55,448
clearly Tucker thought that he
did.
123
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,821
>> Adam: Do you plan on telling
me what's behind that
124
00:07:01,888 --> 00:07:04,357
self-satisfied smile?
>> Victor: Oh, yeah, you want to
125
00:07:04,423 --> 00:07:07,193
know?
It's these demands you're
126
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,629
making.
>> Adam: To keep McCall its own
127
00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:13,065
entity?
>> Victor: That was my idea for
128
00:07:13,132 --> 00:07:17,637
you to run the company, as well.
>> Adam: Well, then we are on
129
00:07:17,703 --> 00:07:20,673
the same page.
Good.
130
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:23,976
>> Victor: I just had to close
certain doors to make sure that
131
00:07:24,043 --> 00:07:28,581
you realized where the hell you
belong.
132
00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:31,083
>> Adam: You know, Jack stuck
his neck out to give me that
133
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:32,952
job.
>> Victor: Jack Abbott.
134
00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:36,322
Good God, man, how did you ever
become involved with that guy?
135
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:39,659
Anyway, what was -- what was the
final straw?
136
00:07:39,725 --> 00:07:44,363
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Are you really gonna make me
137
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:46,199
do this?
>> Victor: Yeah. Take your time.
138
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:51,637
Sit down.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
139
00:07:56,742 --> 00:08:01,147
I was half-assing it at Jabot.
My heart wasn't in it, and I
140
00:08:01,214 --> 00:08:03,249
realized that I didn't belong
there.
141
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:08,087
So as much as it pains me to
admit this, you were right about
142
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:11,991
the job -- and about me.
143
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:25,037
>> Nate: Look, this is one of
the most difficult things I've
144
00:08:25,104 --> 00:08:31,244
ever been through, causing this
all-out war between my cousins.
145
00:08:31,310 --> 00:08:35,548
Look, I shook the faith they had
in the merger and the future of
146
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:38,951
the company.
Hell, in me.
147
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:43,956
Watching the devastation that I
created, bearing witness to all
148
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:49,028
that pain.
Don't ask me how I sleep at
149
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:54,667
night because I don't.
[ Sighs ]
150
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:59,105
>> Daniel: Well, you bury
yourself in your work.
151
00:08:59,171 --> 00:09:06,145
And you think maybe if some kind
of good can come out of this,
152
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:11,784
then maybe you'll be worthy of
their love and forgiveness.
153
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:15,454
>> Nate: Maybe that's crossed my
mind a time or two.
154
00:09:15,521 --> 00:09:18,791
>> Daniel: Yeah.
I had a feeling.
155
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:22,762
>> Nate: Look, I don't expect
Lily to forgive me overnight --
156
00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:27,266
if she ever does -- and it's
probably gonna take an act of
157
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:31,103
God before Devon and I could
ever get back to where we were
158
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:33,372
before I started this whole damn
thing.
159
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:34,740
>> Daniel: That still doesn't
answer my question.
160
00:09:34,807 --> 00:09:35,875
What do you want me to do about
it?
161
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:38,611
>> Nate: Help me put an end to
this battle.
162
00:09:38,678 --> 00:09:40,913
>> Daniel: Nate [laughs]
I don't think --

>> Nate: Look, I can only get so
close, and neither one of them
164
00:09:43,816 --> 00:09:46,385
will listen to me.
In fact, the only thing they
165
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:49,889
have in common right now is how
much they hate me.
166
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:54,894
So I need y--
If we work together --
167
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:58,831
>> Daniel: Hey, hey. Wait. Wait.
Let me just finish painting that
168
00:09:58,898 --> 00:10:03,436
picture for you.
Um...you convince me to help
169
00:10:03,502 --> 00:10:06,839
you, Devon and Lily, they settle
their lawsuit without any
170
00:10:06,906 --> 00:10:08,741
bloodshed on either side,
they turn to me, they say,
171
00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:13,079
"Oh, Daniel, you're our hero,"
undying gratitude, et cetera,
172
00:10:13,145 --> 00:10:14,914
et cetera.
And then I say, "Wait, no,
173
00:10:14,981 --> 00:10:18,084
actually, the person that you
should really be thanking is
174
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:20,853
your cousin."
And there's shock and there's
175
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,990
tears, forgiveness all the way
around.
176
00:10:24,056 --> 00:10:26,859
Everybody kisses and makes up.
And then they throw us this big

00:10:26,926 --> 00:10:29,695
family-style dinner party.
I don't know.
178
00:10:29,762 --> 00:10:31,430
I'm just spit-balling here.
Is that what you have in mind?
179
00:10:31,497 --> 00:10:33,666
>> Nate: I know what I'm up
against.
180
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:37,370
If it looks like I'm motivated
by a sense of self-preservation,
181
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:41,107
then I own it.
It's a natural human instinct to
182
00:10:41,173 --> 00:10:43,275

pack.
183
00:10:43,342 --> 00:10:45,845
>> Daniel: Alright, well, let
me -- let me present you with a
184
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:51,083
more plausible outcome.
Um, you do all the right things.
185
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:55,921
Instead of restoring the peace,
you actually make things worse.
186
00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:59,525
You dig up a bunch of old
feelings of anger and betrayal
187
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:02,528
and distrust and you just make
the wounds deeper.
188
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:05,931
And then I wind up getting
partial blame for helping the
189
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:10,603
most hated guy in the family.
[ Sighs ]
190

Yeah, that's gonna be a hard
pass for me.
191

Um, you can count me out.
>> Nate: Okay.
192
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:21,047
So, I was wrong, and you don't
care if Lily gets her family
193
00:11:21,113 --> 00:11:27,319
back.
>> Daniel: Nate, you can't put
194
00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:32,058
this back together again.
Let Devon and Lily work it
195

okay?
And by the way -- let's be very
198
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:51,744
clear about this -- Tucker never
does anything unless he really

00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:53,946
wants to do it.

really about you.

He's estranged from his cousin.

He's about to go scorched-earth
with Lily in court.

much I hate to hear about that.

much.
He's lost members of his family.

offered his company to?

like I was the only person he
was gonna approach.

for the original rift between
the two of you.

Well, just wait.
If you buy McCall [chuckles]
318
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:51,804
that's gonna be very complicated
because that company is not a

It's a curse.

were gonna be a part of Newman
480
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:42,167
and I would be the one making
the final decisions.
481
00:26:42,233 --> 00:26:43,568
>> Nate: But your father has
plans of his own.
482
00:26:43,635 --> 00:26:45,971
>> Victoria: He just informed me
that he intends to keep McCall a
483
00:26:46,037 --> 00:26:49,074
separate entity, with Adam in
charge, answering to no one.
484
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:50,608
>> Nate: And you're not having
that.
485
00:26:50,675 --> 00:26:54,346
>> Victoria: Absolutely not.
Now, there is no way that I am
486
00:26:54,412 --> 00:26:55,780
letting Adam get his hands on
that company.
487
00:26:55,847 --> 00:26:57,916
>> Nate: So, what are you gonna
do -- kill the deal?
488
00:26:57,983 --> 00:27:02,187
>> Victoria: Oh, no, no.
No. No way in hell.
489
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:06,157
McCall is mine.
>> Devon: I mean, McCall could
490
00:27:06,224 --> 00:27:09,227
definitely be a great insurance
policy for me.
491
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:10,762
>> Abby: Thank you.
>> Devon: Yeah.
492
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:13,798
'Cause no matter what ends up
happening, I'd still have a
493
00:27:13,865 --> 00:27:18,470
company, you know?
And it would be something that's
494
00:27:18,536 --> 00:27:21,106
established, that I can still
build on.
495
00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:24,142
But at the same time, I have to
consider who's selling me this
496
00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:27,479
company.
And why would I trust anything
497
00:27:27,545 --> 00:27:30,215
he says at this point after what
he's done?
498
00:27:30,281 --> 00:27:33,718
Maybe this is just his way of
manipulating me to get back into
499
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:36,988
my life again.
>> Abby: Hear me out.
500
00:27:37,055 --> 00:27:40,158
>> Devon: Sure.
>> Abby: What if Tucker
501
00:27:40,225 --> 00:27:42,694
means well?
What if there are no strings
502
00:27:42,761 --> 00:27:44,829
attached?
>> Devon: I -- I don't know
503
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:48,133
"what if?" 'cause that's never
been the case.
504
00:27:48,199 --> 00:27:51,836
You know, I --
You're very trusting.
505
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:53,905
I know you didn't get that trait
from Victor Newman.
506
00:27:53,972 --> 00:27:55,940
>> Abby: Well, maybe you should
get to know Victor Newman a
507
00:27:56,007 --> 00:28:00,145
little bit better -- 'cause my
dad thinks that people can
508
00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:03,681
change and that family is the
most important thing.
509
00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:07,419
And I just happen to agree with
him.
510
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:11,856
So, maybe -- maybe you can admit
that you're wrong about that?
511
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:13,191
>> Devon: Yeah, okay.
>> Abby: Okay?
512
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:14,793
>> Devon: I'm wrong about that.
You're right.
513
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:16,895
>> Abby: You're wrong about
that, and then maybe...
514
00:28:16,961 --> 00:28:19,264
>> Devon: Hmm?
>> Abby: ...you could admit that
515
00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:22,901
it's possible that you could be
wrong about your own father?
516
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:27,605
>> Devon: It's possible?
Uh, well...I did find out that
517
00:28:27,672 --> 00:28:33,511
he offered to sell his company
to Newman before coming to me.
518
00:28:33,578 --> 00:28:35,413
>> Abby: How'd you find that
out?
519
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,982
>> Devon: 'Cause your sister
came over here and told me.
520
00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:41,786
And she wanted to know if he
tried to sell it to me yet.
521
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:44,556
>> Abby: So, she said that he
tried to sell it to Newman
522
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:45,757
first?
>> Devon: Mm-hmm.
523
00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:49,360
And then she made it very, very
clear that Newman is very
524
00:28:49,427 --> 00:28:53,965
interested in buying it.
She's something else, I'll tell
525
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:56,000
you.
>> Abby: Okay, I do love my
526
00:28:56,067 --> 00:28:57,535
sister, Devon.
>> Devon: I know you love your
527
00:28:57,602 --> 00:28:59,871
sister.
I know.
528
00:28:59,938 --> 00:29:02,407
I love my sister, too.
>> Abby: [ Sighs ]
529
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:05,076
>> Devon: Whether or not she'll
ever believe that again is
530
00:29:05,143 --> 00:29:10,148
another story.
>> Abby: But the question is,
531
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:18,523
what's Victoria's next move?
>> Tucker: I think you know how
532
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,359
much I want this.
Even I can't control a human
533
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,628
heart.
>> Ashley: Well, the
534
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:26,397
Tucker McCall that I used to
know would never let anything
535
00:29:26,464 --> 00:29:28,600
stand between him and what he
desired.
536
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,902
>> Tucker: So, you want me to
move heaven and earth?
537
00:29:30,969 --> 00:29:34,372
>> Tucker: Wouldn't be the first
time.
538
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:38,476
You're actually gonna let your
child dictate how the rest of
539
00:29:38,543 --> 00:29:40,712
your life unfolds?
>> Tucker: I just don't want to
540
00:29:40,778 --> 00:29:44,516
force the issue onto him.
>> Ashley: Think of another way.
541
00:29:44,582 --> 00:29:46,251
I mean, you're not trying to
ruin Devon.
542
00:29:46,317 --> 00:29:49,821
You're trying to help him.
Selling McCall to him is a game
543
00:29:49,888 --> 00:29:54,125
changer, not just for Devon,
but for you...
544
00:29:54,192 --> 00:29:59,430
for your grandson...
for the future.
545
00:29:59,497 --> 00:30:04,202
>> Tucker: And what's the future
for us?
546
00:30:04,269 --> 00:30:10,308
Is there an us?
I see --
547
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:25,089
>> Lily: I just was so excited
when we started this journey.
548
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:27,625
You know?
I really, really thought that we
549
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:30,428
could build something that my
dad and Katherine would be proud
550
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:31,996
of.
>> Daniel: Something you could
551
00:30:32,063 --> 00:30:34,132
all be proud of.
>> Lily: Yeah, I thought we
552
00:30:34,199 --> 00:30:39,337
would build a legacy, you know,
something that would outlast
553
00:30:39,404 --> 00:30:41,839
all of us.
>> Daniel: Big dreams.
554
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:48,046
>> Lily: [ Exhales sharply ]
Yeah. I guess too big.
555
00:30:48,112 --> 00:30:50,748
>> Daniel: No.
No. That's garbage.
556
00:30:50,815 --> 00:30:54,185
Look, you're running a
multimillion-dollar company.
557
00:30:54,252 --> 00:30:57,322
You are loyal.
You're focused.
558
00:30:57,388 --> 00:31:00,091
And if you're too damn polite to
say it, I'll say it for you.
559
00:31:00,158 --> 00:31:03,595
>> Lily: Say what?
>> Daniel: You're giving 110%
560
00:31:03,661 --> 00:31:06,531
every day, into the night.
You are living to make this
561
00:31:06,598 --> 00:31:09,434
thing a reality.
I'm right, right?
562
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:14,639
Right. I'm right, aren't I?
>> Lily: Yeah. Close.
563
00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:16,407
>> Daniel: So it makes sense
that you would expect at least
564
00:31:16,474 --> 00:31:18,076
that much from your family and
the people around you.
565
00:31:18,142 --> 00:31:19,811
You know, they're the ones that
are supposed to be there
566
00:31:19,877 --> 00:31:22,847
fighting with you, you know,
for the things that you want and
567
00:31:22,914 --> 00:31:24,983
they're supposed to be there to
support you.
568
00:31:25,049 --> 00:31:27,018
So, I don't want to hear that
you failed or that you failed
569
00:31:27,085 --> 00:31:28,486
anyone else.
You didn't fail the company.
570
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:32,290
Everyone around you --
they failed you.
571
00:31:34,425 --> 00:31:36,394
>> Devon: Victoria is trying to
salvage the deal that she had in
572
00:31:36,461 --> 00:31:40,331
place before Tucker pulled out.
>> Abby: But why did Tucker kill
573
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:42,400
the deal?
It doesn't make any sense.
574
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:45,536
He had a sure thing.
Did Victoria say what turned him
575
00:31:45,603 --> 00:31:48,106
off?
>> Devon: If she knew, she
576
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:51,376
didn't tell me.
But I get the feeling that she
577
00:31:51,442 --> 00:31:55,580
thinks it's tied to whoever
bought Tucker's debt.
578
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:58,616
>> Abby: So, there may be a
connection between Tucker and
579
00:31:58,683 --> 00:32:02,920
the person or entity who owns
his debt.
580
00:32:02,987 --> 00:32:07,592
Interesting.
Well, does that make you want to
581
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:10,194
make a deal?
Or does it make you want to walk
582
00:32:10,261 --> 00:32:22,940
away?
>> Tucker: Okay, you just, uh --
583
00:32:23,007 --> 00:32:25,510
you just tell me what it is you
want, and I'll make it happen.
584
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:27,145
>> Ashley: Be careful what you
wish for.
585
00:32:27,211 --> 00:32:34,052
>> Tucker: You say the word.
>> Ashley: Look, I want this to
586
00:32:34,118 --> 00:32:40,958
work.
I want to know that you are
587
00:32:41,025 --> 00:32:46,264
sincere about wanting to heal
things with Devon.
588
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:50,168
I want you to be a man that he
can believe in and a man that he
589
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:54,272
can trust.
And I want you to help him love
590
00:32:54,339 --> 00:32:57,775
that beautiful little boy of
his.
591
00:32:57,842 --> 00:33:00,378
And I really want to stop
thinking about all of this
592
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:02,547
because I'm terrified that I
feel anything for you.
593
00:33:02,613 --> 00:33:05,750
>> Tucker: Okay. [ Chuckles ]
You're in a conundrum, aren't
594
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:08,319
you?
But I tell you -- Oh.
595
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:12,724
[ Cellphone pings ]
[ Gasps ]
596
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:13,958
Unbelievable.
>> Ashley: What?
597
00:33:14,025 --> 00:33:18,129
>> Tucker: This is good.
It's from Devon -- "Let's talk."
598
00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:21,833
[ Chuckles ] It's so perfect,
the timing of it.
599
00:33:21,899 --> 00:33:24,469
It's the universe.
>> Ashley: What do you mean?
600
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:29,273
>> Tucker: You -- The kiss.
You kissed me, and it was so --
601
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:32,577
it was life-changing and
world-shaking and -- and
602
00:33:32,643 --> 00:33:34,879
powerful enough to change
Devon's perspective.
603
00:33:34,946 --> 00:33:36,848
He could feel the vibrations,
you see, across --
604
00:33:36,914 --> 00:33:39,384
>> Ashley: Well, it wasn't that
good, not really.
605
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:43,554
>> Tucker: You're a liar.
It was good.
606
00:33:43,621 --> 00:33:48,826
We just took a step in the right
direction, and now the world is
607
00:33:48,893 --> 00:33:52,430
spinning the right way for me.
>> Ashley: [ Laughs ]
608
00:33:52,497 --> 00:33:54,432
You're weird.
>> Tucker: Yes, I am.
609
00:33:54,499 --> 00:34:00,605
But I've -- I've found a moral
obligation, you see, to, uh --
610
00:34:00,671 --> 00:34:03,408
[laughing] to do good for
others.
611
00:34:03,474 --> 00:34:06,844
>> Ashley: Really?
>> Devon: Yes. Sacrifice.
612
00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:10,081
I'm gonna sacrifice
self-interest to help those I
613
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:12,316
love.
Yeah, things are falling into
614
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:16,020
place for me, baby.
And for us and Devon.
615
00:34:16,087 --> 00:34:18,055
You don't feel that?
>> Ashley: No.
616
00:34:18,122 --> 00:34:20,992
>> Tucker: Eh.
Don't worry. You will.
617
00:34:21,058 --> 00:34:26,130
>> Ashley: Mm.
>> Tucker: Change is coming.
618
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:29,400
Before this whole thing is
through, you're going to see
619
00:34:29,467 --> 00:34:32,804
that we are absolutely meant to
be together.
620
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:46,284
>> Ashley: Get out of here.
>> Tucker: ♪ Yai-da-da-ee ♪
621
00:34:46,350 --> 00:34:49,187
♪ Ya-da-da, da-da-dum ♪
>> Ashley: [ Chuckles ]

00:34:49,253 --> 00:34:52,757
>> Tucker: ♪ Doo-da-da-dai ♪
>> Victoria: I guess you haven't
623
00:34:52,824 --> 00:34:55,993
heard.
I always get what I want, one
624
00:34:56,060 --> 00:34:59,163
way or another.
>> Nate: What about compromise?
625
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,632
So both sides get what they want
and no one feels like they've
626
00:35:01,699 --> 00:35:04,735
lost.
>> Victoria: Well, you know,
627
00:35:04,802 --> 00:35:08,239
that might work on the
playground, but that just don't
628
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:11,976
work in the corporate world.
The corporate world is messy.
629
00:35:12,043 --> 00:35:14,645
It's ugly.
It's very unforgiving.
630
00:35:14,712 --> 00:35:16,614
It's like in a family.
You know, these issues --
631
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:20,451
they're constantly changing.
You have to remind yourself
632
00:35:20,518 --> 00:35:23,921
this is a marathon.
It's not a sprint.
633
00:35:23,988 --> 00:35:28,459
You have to pace yourself.
You have to have fun with it and
634
00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:33,698
let them think that they're
winning.
635
00:35:33,764 --> 00:35:41,305
And then you go in for the kill.
Do you trust me?
636
00:35:41,372 --> 00:35:45,109
>> Nate: You know I do.
>> Victoria: Good.
637
00:35:45,176 --> 00:35:50,248
