>> Tucker: The C-suite
press-release lingo.
165
00:09:56,128 --> 00:09:58,664
Did you also quit to spend
more time with family?
166
00:09:58,731 --> 00:10:01,834
[ Chuckles ]
Of course, that doesn't track,
167
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:03,803
because your family
can't stand you.
168
00:10:03,869 --> 00:10:08,174
>> Adam: No, Victoria, Dad, and
I -- we have our issues,
169
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,677
but, uh, at the end of the day,
we're family.
170
00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:14,080
And we always will be.
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
171
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:16,482
>> Adam: I know you can
understand that, with everything
172
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:19,819
that's going on with Devon.
>> Tucker: Indeed, I can.
173
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:25,057
Father-son relationships
are, uh, huh, complicated.
174
00:10:25,124 --> 00:10:28,127
Yeah.
>> Adam: Yeah, that's the thing
175
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:30,696
about Victor me, is we -- we
understand each other
176
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:33,265
on a cellular level
because we are so much alike.
177
00:10:33,332 --> 00:10:35,401
>> Tucker: Yeah.
Yeah, you are.
178
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:40,139
You're both miserable, ruthless.
>> Adam: See, you, on the other
179
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:41,640
hand, you are nothing like
Devon.
180
00:10:41,707 --> 00:10:44,810
You know, him being principled,
thoughtful.
181
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:47,346
>> Tucker: [ Chuckles ]
>> Adam: Yeah, you really
182
00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:49,782
botched that relationship.
It sounds like he doesn't want
183
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:52,451
anything to do with you,
including acquiring McCall.
184
00:10:52,518 --> 00:10:57,490
Which means I might actually end
up being the CEO of your empire.
185
00:10:57,556 --> 00:11:02,094
[ Slaps bar top ]
We should drink to that.
186

>> Tucker: Adam...
[Sighs] over my dead body
187
00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:11,771
will you ever have anything
to do with my company.

I'm glad you're here.
190
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:45,137
Come in.
>> Nate: [ Clears throat ]
191
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:51,710
>> Victoria: Get you a Scotch?
>> Nate: Listen, I, uh -- I need
192
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:58,818
to make something clear.
I'm not, um, here for sex.
193
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:05,257
I just didn't want to be rude
and not respond at all.
194
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:09,462
>> Victoria: Oh.
So, instead, you decided
195
00:12:09,528 --> 00:12:13,065
to come here in person
and tell me to my face
196
00:12:13,132 --> 00:12:15,835
that you're not interested.
>> Nate: You know full well
197
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:20,639
I'm interested.
And that is the problem.
198
00:12:20,706 --> 00:12:25,044
I'm already in two committed
relationships, okay?
199
00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:28,080
One with Elena, and the other
with Newman Media.
200
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:31,684
And I'm not about to screw up
either one.
201
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:42,895
>> Victoria: [ Inhales deeply ]
Do you want to sit down and
202
00:12:42,962 --> 00:12:46,565
talk?
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
203
00:12:46,632 --> 00:12:50,803
>> Victoria: Oh, of course.
Okay, well, both feet on the

ground at all times.
[ Chuckles ]
205
00:12:54,306 --> 00:12:58,244
This isn't exactly great
for a girl's confidence.
206
00:12:58,310 --> 00:13:02,548
>> Nate: As much as I'd like to
throw caution to the wind --
207
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:07,720
and trust me, part of me
wants to more than you know --
208
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:11,924
there's a logical side of me
that's holding me back.
209
00:13:11,991 --> 00:13:13,626
Okay?
Not only because
210
00:13:13,692 --> 00:13:15,594
I'm in a relationship
with a woman I care about,
211
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:19,298
but I would hate
for this amazing connection
212
00:13:19,365 --> 00:13:21,800
we have at work
to somehow be tarnished.
213
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:25,271
I'm happier at Newman
than I've been in a long time.
214

>> Victoria: Does some of that
happiness have to do with me?
215
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:34,079
>> Nate: Of course.
I love working with you.
216
00:13:34,146 --> 00:13:38,284
You're a great boss,
great leader, a true visionary.

>> Victoria: That's it?
[ Chuckles ]
218
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:44,190
You know, the same
could be said for my father.

You look better in a dress.

>> Victoria: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
221
00:13:51,697 --> 00:13:58,304
Obviously, there are, um,
other physical feelings.
222
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:04,176
A lot of desire.

>> Nate: So much...
desire.
224
00:14:12,051 --> 00:14:14,887
But I have to rise above it,
okay?
225
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:20,859
We both do, for the sake
of our working relationship.
226
00:14:20,926 --> 00:14:23,696
I'm sorry if you disagree
or you think this makes things
227
00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:25,631
untenable for you,
but I definitely think
228
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,101
it would make things untenable
if we act on our feelings.
229
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:37,776
I hope you're not insulted.
>> Victoria: I'm not.
230
00:14:37,843 --> 00:14:42,715
And I think your earnestness
makes you even more attractive.
231
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:45,184
[ Inhales deeply ]
You should probably go.
232
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:48,654
[ Sighs ]
I'm gonna just enjoy

>> Victoria: Yes, of course
we're okay.

00:14:56,629 --> 00:15:01,100
I'll see you at the office
tomorrow.
236
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:18,050
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
>> Adam: So, when you
237
00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:22,921
sell McCall to Newman,
Victor, um, intends
238
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:25,991
to install me as CEO.
>> Tucker: Hmm.
239
00:15:26,058 --> 00:15:27,793
Well, in that case,
it's a good thing
240
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:29,862
I have no intention
of selling to Newman...
241
00:15:29,928 --> 00:15:32,031
>> Adam: Hmm.
>> Tucker: ...'cause having you
242
00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:34,933
at the helm would be a surefire
way to run it into the ground.
243
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,270
And your intel about
my relationship with Devon
244
00:15:38,337 --> 00:15:42,608
is old news.
I don't know what wild promises
245
00:15:42,675 --> 00:15:45,311
your father is making to you,
but you should know better
246
00:15:45,377 --> 00:15:47,813
than to fall for them.
The scenario you described is
247
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,315
absolutely never going to
happen.
248
00:15:49,381 --> 00:15:51,650
>> Adam: Hmm.
>> Tucker: So I would tell him
249
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:55,321
and your sister to just move on.
>> Adam: Well, your deal with
250
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:59,191
Devon isn't done yet.
And there's two things
251
00:15:59,258 --> 00:16:02,895
that I know about my family.
One, they don't give up
252
00:16:02,961 --> 00:16:07,232
and just walk away.
And two, everyone has their
253
00:16:07,299 --> 00:16:09,101
price.
And the Newmans
254
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:11,603
will pay that price.
>> Nick: Well, look at this.
255
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:14,073
You boys love to hear yourselves
talk so much, I'm surprised
256
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:16,075
there's any oxygen left
in the room.
257
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:17,309
>> Tucker: What is this,
a Newman convention?
258
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:19,578
>> Nick: Just came
for some takeout.

00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:22,815
Not interested at all
in whatever this is.
260
00:16:22,881 --> 00:16:26,051
>> Adam: Well, Tucker was just
throwing down the gauntlet,
261
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:29,188
saying that Newman Enterprises
will never get its hands
262
00:16:29,254 --> 00:16:31,924
on McCall Unlimited,
which kind of sounds like the
263
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:35,227
opening of a negotiation to me.
So, you know, what would it take
264
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:38,597
for you to change your mind?
>> Tucker: Hmm.
265
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:43,602
Well, Devon means
everything to me.
266
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:48,073
And you -- you mean
less than nothing.
267
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:54,313
So...
how's that for negotiation?
268
00:16:54,380 --> 00:17:01,754
Thanks for the drink. Okay?
>> Nick: Well, there you go.
269
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:04,590
You got your answer straight
from the man himself.
270
00:17:04,656 --> 00:17:07,326
He's never going to let Newman
buy McCall.
271
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:10,829
Are you ready
to let this go yet?
272
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:16,769
>> Abby: Well, you
have a lot to think about.
273
00:17:16,835 --> 00:17:18,570
>> Devon: Hmm.
>> Abby: Hmm.
274
00:17:18,637 --> 00:17:21,106
And I love being your
sounding board,
275
00:17:21,173 --> 00:17:24,643
but I should probably
take Dominic and head home.
276
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:26,178
>> Devon: Take Dominic?
>> Abby: Mm-hmm.
277
00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:28,313
>> Devon: Why you gonna do that?
He's asleep.
278
00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:32,518
You don't want to wake him up.
>> Abby: Well, I guess I could
279
00:17:32,584 --> 00:17:34,987
leave him here and come get him
in the morning.
280
00:17:35,053 --> 00:17:38,290
>> Devon: I have a better idea.
How about you just don't go
281
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,592
home.
>> Abby: Hmm, but I have to get
282
00:17:40,659 --> 00:17:42,961
up very early in the morning.
>> Devon: Oh, then I can wake
283
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:44,530
you up very early in the
morning.
284
00:17:44,596 --> 00:17:45,664
>> Abby: Can you?
>> Devon: I can.
285
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:47,566
>> Abby: [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: And you just had wine.
286
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:48,834
You don't need to be driving
anywhere.
287
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,969
>> Abby: Oh, is that what you
were thinking when you poured me
288
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:53,005
that glass?
>> Devon: No. No.
289
00:17:53,071 --> 00:17:56,041
No, not at all.
And I have so much on my mind,
290
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:58,644
you know I'm gonna be
lousy company for myself.
291
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:02,648
I'm not gonna get any rest.
>> Abby: Are you suggesting
292
00:18:02,714 --> 00:18:06,952
that I put you to sleep?
>> Devon: Well, that depends on
293
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:10,255
if you think you're up to that.
>> Abby: I am always up to that.
294
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:12,090
>> Devon: You are?
>> Abby: Mm-hmm.
295
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:16,929

Then be my guest.

>> Abby: Hmm.
[ Chuckles ]
297
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:40,419

more than Tucker walking out of
298
00:18:40,486 --> 00:18:42,221
here, pouting, for me
to give up on McCall.
299
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:45,123
We just have to make sure that
Devon does not accept his offer.
300
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:48,527
>> Nick: Tucker wants Devon
to have the company.
301
00:18:48,594 --> 00:18:50,562
Tucker usually gets
what he wants.
302
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:53,732
AND Well, it might be harder
for him to win back his son
303
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,068
than he thinks.
And if there's one thing
304
00:18:56,134 --> 00:18:58,537
that I know, it's how to work
the angles on a fractured
305
00:18:58,604 --> 00:19:01,006
father-son relationship.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
306
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:03,342
Look, Adam, even if Devon
wasn't in the picture,
307
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:07,012
it's Tucker's call to make.
What makes you think he's going
308
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:10,082
to sell McCall to Newman?
I mean, he clearly doesn't want
309
00:19:10,148 --> 00:19:11,750
you anywhere near that CEO
chair.
310
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:15,053
>> Adam: Yeah, but Victor does.
And Tucker is no match
311
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,322
for our father.
>> Nick: Well, that may be,
312
00:19:17,389 --> 00:19:19,057
but you know who is?
Victoria.
313
00:19:19,124 --> 00:19:22,294
>> Adam: Okay, well, she's
not gonna come out on top
314
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:25,030
on this one.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
315
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:28,100
You know the reason you and Vick
don't get along?
316
00:19:28,166 --> 00:19:30,102
Because you're too much
like Dad.
317
00:19:30,168 --> 00:19:32,504
You're both willing to fight
tooth and nail for this
318
00:19:32,571 --> 00:19:34,773
acquisition, and then you will
tear each other apart.
319
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,376
>> Adam: Yeah.
I mean, so what?
320
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:40,012
It -- It's our normal.
>> Nick: Mnh-mnh.
321
00:19:40,078 --> 00:19:43,348
It's weird and it's toxic,
and you guys need hobbies.
322
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:45,751
And I have no interest
in being a part of another
323
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:48,453
Newman family drama.
It's why I'm working so hard
324
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,423
to keep things civil between you
and me when it comes to Sally
325
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:54,192
and the baby.
>> Adam: I appreciate that.
326
00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:57,195
>> Nick: Okay.
So is there any chance you could
327
00:19:57,262 --> 00:20:00,032
let go of this dream of running
Tucker's company?
328
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,067
Adam, you can do
whatever you want.
329
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:04,069
You have several
high-profile options.
330
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:07,573
Start your own damn company.
The world is your oyster.
331
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:13,211
Why does it have to be Tucker's
company that will satisfy you?
332
00:20:13,278 --> 00:20:16,315
>> Adam: Because now I have a
reason to fight for it.
333
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:20,352
I have a baby on the way, and I
want to leave a legacy behind --
334
00:20:20,419 --> 00:20:23,088
a Newman legacy
for both of my children.
335
00:20:23,155 --> 00:20:38,036
[ Sighs ]
>> Audra: Nate.
336
00:20:38,103 --> 00:20:39,004
[ Sighs ]
>> Audra: Nate.
337
00:20:39,071 --> 00:20:42,240
>> Nate: Hey.
>> Audra: What are you doing
338
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:44,476
here?
I thought you had a date night
339
00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:47,112
with Elena.
>> Nate: She had a long day,
340
00:20:47,179 --> 00:20:51,083
so it was an early evening.
>> Audra: Listen, I still feel
341
00:20:51,149 --> 00:20:54,152
terrible if I caused any
misunderstanding between
342
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:56,488
the two of you.
If there's anything I can do --
343
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:59,424
>> Nate: There's not.
I cleared it up with Elena.
344
00:20:59,491 --> 00:21:02,227
>> Audra: Oh.
I'm glad.
345
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:06,031
Uh, then what are you doing here
now and not at home?
346
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,600
>> Nate: I just had a restless
night.
347
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:10,769
>> Audra: Then, definitely,
the thing you need is coffee.
348
00:21:10,836 --> 00:21:13,605
Why don't you join me?
>> Nate: Look, I still have a
349
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:15,641
ton of work to do at home.
That's why I'm here,
350
00:21:15,707 --> 00:21:18,810
to fuel up.
>> Audra: Okay, No worries.
351
00:21:18,877 --> 00:21:24,650
See you tomorrow.
Did you see Victoria
352
00:21:24,716 --> 00:21:28,220
this evening?
>> Nate: Why do you ask?
353
00:21:30,889 --> 00:21:36,228
>> Victor: Hello, son.
Sit down.
354
00:21:36,294 --> 00:21:41,466
Now, you made it sound urgent
on the phone.
355
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:44,169
>> Adam: Yeah, well, I wanted
to talk to you before morning.
356
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:49,408
I, um, ran into Tucker tonight.
>> Victor: Hmm.
357
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:52,077
>> Adam: And he seemed awfully
determined to make a deal with
358
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:56,014
Devon.
>> Victor: Well,
359
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:59,184
what Tucker wants
and what he thinks Devon will
360
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:02,754
do -- you know, two different
things.
361
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:05,757
Okay?
Victoria tells me that she had
362
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:09,127
a conversation with Devon,
who informed her that he wanted
363
00:22:09,194 --> 00:22:12,764
nothing to do with his father.
>> Adam: Okay, well, then maybe
364
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:15,233
something has changed.
I mean, Tucker seemed
365
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,436
pretty confident,
pretty adamant that he could
366
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:19,538
get Devon to make him an offer.
>> Victor: Listen,
367
00:22:19,604 --> 00:22:21,406
Tucker McCall has always been
full of confidence.
368
00:22:21,473 --> 00:22:25,744
He's been full of bull.
>> Adam: I just -- I-I think
369
00:22:25,811 --> 00:22:28,747
McCall is gonna be an uphill
battle, but I don't want to
370
00:22:28,814 --> 00:22:29,681
let it go.
Okay?
371
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:32,150
I've gotten pretty excited
about this idea.
372
00:22:32,217 --> 00:22:35,787
>> Victor: So have I.
I want it for you,
373
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:38,724
and I want for the family.
>> Adam: Hmm.
374
00:22:38,790 --> 00:22:41,326
I'm not sure it's gonna be
one big happy family
375
00:22:41,393 --> 00:22:44,529
as you're envisioning, but --
>> Victor: I'll work that out.
376
00:22:44,596 --> 00:22:47,165
>> Adam: Hmm.
You're gonna work out Victoria's
377
00:22:47,232 --> 00:22:50,335
lifelong animosity towards me?
>> Victor: We'll take things
378
00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:53,338
step by step.
And the first step is to acquire
379
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:56,475
McCall Unlimited.
>> Adam: Okay, Well, the key
380
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:58,777
to our success there is Devon.
We need to make sure
381
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:01,213
that he is not interested,
because Tucker made it clear
382
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,249
that he plans to sell to him,
and that is his end game.
383
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:08,386
>> Victor: Leave it up to me.
384
00:23:15,293 --> 00:23:18,130
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
385
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:42,420
>> Victor: I agree with you.
I think we do need Devon's help.
386
00:23:42,487 --> 00:23:45,957
>> Adam: Well, I think it may be
more effective if you
387
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:48,727
meet with him.
You know, he seems to admire
388
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:50,762
you.
>> Victor: I respect him,
389
00:23:50,829 --> 00:23:52,397
as well, so I'll see
what I can do.
390
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:53,999
Alright?
>> Adam: Okay.
391
00:23:54,065 --> 00:23:55,767
Maybe go meet with him
tomorrow morning, yeah?
392
00:23:55,834 --> 00:23:57,669
>> Victor: To hell with that.
I'll meet him tonight.
393
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:01,907
>> Adam: Perfect.
>> Victor: Now, I'm sort of
394
00:24:01,973 --> 00:24:07,879
feeling that the tide is turning
in my favor.
395
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:12,684
I see you sort of coming back
into the family.
396
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:16,254
>> Adam: Only under the
conditions that you promised.
397
00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:19,724
This is not a warm and fuzzy
reunion.
398
00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:22,360
It's a totally selfish move.
>> Victor: You don't think
399
00:24:22,427 --> 00:24:26,665
I know that?
>> Audra: I was curious
400
00:24:26,731 --> 00:24:29,334
where things stood
with the McCall acquisition.
401
00:24:29,401 --> 00:24:31,903
I know Victoria had
some further thoughts on Newman
402
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:35,373
coming in with a strong offer.
>> Nate: Yeah, I, uh, saw her,
403
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,811
and we talked about it.
>> Audra: Tell me.
404
00:24:39,878 --> 00:24:42,948
>> Nate: I guess I can spare
a few minutes, since we're
405
00:24:43,014 --> 00:24:45,717
talking shop.
>> Audra: And I always love
406
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,720
having the boss's ear.
>> Nate: Well, Victoria had
407
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:51,723
a conversation with Tucker,
and she tried to convince him
408
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:54,125
that Newman was the right place
to sell his company.
409
00:24:54,192 --> 00:24:57,229
>> Audra: Was she successful?
>> Nate: Not sure.
410
00:24:57,295 --> 00:24:59,764
>> Audra: Listen, I still think
you can be instrumental
411
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:01,700
in this deal.
Why not give it a shot
412
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:03,401
by talking to Devon?
>> Nate: I don't think
413
00:25:03,468 --> 00:25:05,337
that would ever work.
And frankly,
414
00:25:05,403 --> 00:25:08,874
I don't want to even try.
Still too much anger
415
00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,410
and hurt feelings there.
I want to bridge that gap
416
00:25:12,477 --> 00:25:15,080
eventually, but that isn't
the way.
417
00:25:15,146 --> 00:25:17,716
If I try to mix business
with personal problems,
418
00:25:17,782 --> 00:25:19,751
it's only gonna make things
much worse.
419
00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:25,190
I need to make peace with Devon
slowly and carefully.
420
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:29,027
>> Audra: I know Victoria wanted
you to make inroads
421
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:32,731
with Devon, as well,
so she'll be disappointed.
422
00:25:32,797 --> 00:25:34,165
But I'm sure you can smooth
that over.
423
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:36,368
>> Nate: I already let her know
where I stand on that.
424
00:25:36,434 --> 00:25:39,471
>> Audra: A woman like Victoria
can be hard to say no to.
425
00:25:39,537 --> 00:25:43,775
But I've noticed you hold
your own with strong women.
426
00:25:43,842 --> 00:25:49,447
And Victoria will get over it.
Ultimately, you know, she'll
427
00:25:49,514 --> 00:25:52,450
admire you for wanting to
mend fences with your family,
428
00:25:52,517 --> 00:25:55,854
the same way I do.
>> Nate: Hmm.
429
00:25:55,921 --> 00:26:02,193
I don't know if it'd ever work,
but thanks for the talk.
430
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:06,464
Guess I needed to decompress
more than I thought.
431
00:26:06,531 --> 00:26:10,835
Well, I should get going.
>> Audra: Yeah.
432
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:14,072
Try and get some rest.
I'm sure Elena's probably
433
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:17,742
waiting up for you.
>> Nate: Hmm.
434
00:26:24,015 --> 00:26:30,055
>> Tucker: Well, well, well.
Working late, I see.

>> Devon: Hi.

00:26:52,077 --> 00:26:54,145
>> Victor: How the hell are you?
>> Devon: I'm alright.
439
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:55,981
Everything okay?
>> Victor: Sorry to disturb you
440
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:57,115
so late.
>> Devon: It's okay.
441
00:26:57,182 --> 00:26:59,050
>> Victor: There's something
I need to discuss with you.
442
00:26:59,117 --> 00:27:00,285
>> Devon: And what
would that be?
443
00:27:00,352 --> 00:27:03,355
>> Victor: Well, it's about
Tucker McCall.
444
00:27:03,421 --> 00:27:05,357
>> Devon: I heard he tried to
sell you his company.
445
00:27:05,423 --> 00:27:09,394
>> Victor: Yeah.
Now, I want to know from you
446
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:12,397
whether Victoria was right
when she said
447
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:18,169
that, um, you weren't interested
in buying his company.
448
00:27:18,236 --> 00:27:20,705
>> Devon: Well, I may be
changing my mind about that.
449
00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:24,776
>> Victor: And why is that?
>> Devon: Uh, it's --
450
00:27:24,843 --> 00:27:27,245
It's a complicated situation.
I'm not really sure
451
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:30,749
you'd understand.
>> Victor: Huh?
452
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:34,185
Pardon me, but try me.
Devon, try me.
453
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:48,166
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
Hey.
454
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:50,402
>> Elena: Hey.
[ Keys jingle onto tray ]
455
00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:52,737
>> Nate: I thought you went
to bed a while ago.
456
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:57,308
>> Elena: I did, but I woke up
and I couldn't get back to
457
00:27:57,375 --> 00:27:59,577
sleep.
I thought you were in
458
00:27:59,644 --> 00:28:03,481
for the night.
Where were you?
459
00:28:03,548 --> 00:28:05,850
>> Nate: Ah, well, after you
went to sleep, I was still
460
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:09,587
wired, so I decided to meet up
with Victoria to keep talking
461
00:28:09,654 --> 00:28:13,625
about the McCall acquisition.
>> Elena: Of course you did.
462
00:28:13,691 --> 00:28:18,930
>> Nate: What?
That's what happened.
463
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:22,634
Would it be better if I told you
I went for a walk?
464
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:26,971
>> Elena: Are you asking me
if you should lie to me?
465
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:28,606
No, Nate,
you shouldn't lie to me.
466
00:28:28,673 --> 00:28:30,308
But obviously you
thought about it.
467
00:28:30,375 --> 00:28:32,444
>> Nate: I am telling you the
truth because I want you to know
468
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,312
you have nothing to worry about.
>> Elena: Hmm.
469
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,281
>> Nate: Victoria and I have a
work relationship,
470
00:28:36,347 --> 00:28:41,453
nothing more.
>> Elena: It's funny.
471
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:43,955
That's exactly what I used to
say to Devon.
472
00:28:44,022 --> 00:28:45,790
>> Nate: Oh.
>> Elena: But I guess
473
00:28:45,857 --> 00:28:47,659
that wasn't entirely true.
And it wasn't.
474
00:28:47,725 --> 00:28:50,195
>> Nate: The difference is,
Victoria and I
475
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:53,264
aren't doing anything.
Look, she's determined
476
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:55,433
to get McCall.
We had to go over
477
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,703
all the different permutations,
find the best path to bring
478
00:28:58,770 --> 00:29:01,906
Tucker's company into Newman.
She wanted to talk about it
479
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:04,843
so we can cover
every aspect of the deal.
480
00:29:04,909 --> 00:29:07,912
Okay?
>> Elena: Yeah.
481
00:29:07,979 --> 00:29:11,382
Victoria is ruthless.
When she sets her mind

And to be honest with you,

I am rather saddened by the fact
that there's conflict

You're talking to a man with
