[ Nate sighing ] >> Adam: Dr. Nate Hastings.
>> Nate: Adam.
You know I don't practice medicine anymore.
>> Adam: Ah. You're right.
You quit being a doctor to do something really important.
Run a media company.
>> Nate: Is there something I can help you with?
>> Adam: So, things are going well over there at Newman Media?
>> Nate: Couldn't be better.
>> Adam: That's good.
From my experience, you have everything you need to
be successful at that company.
>> Nate: And what exactly would that be?
>> Adam: Well, you have two things going for you.
One, you're not a Newman, and two, you're not intimately
intertwined with one.
So, you're in good shape.
>> Victoria: The operation budgets are still way too high.
>> Nikki: I will find a way to get them down ten percent.
>> Victoria: 15.
Oh, my goodness.
Am I in the wrong office or did we step back in time
on a time machine to when Victor Newman was CEO?
>> Victor: I may be away from the office, but...
I'm still in the ring.
Always a contender.
>> Nikki: Well, hello darling.
I didn't know you were going to be here today.
>> Victor: I came here to tell you both some good news.
>> Nikki: Oh?
>> Victoria: I don't really like the way he's smiling right now.
>> Victor: You're looking at the new owner
of McCall Unlimited.
>> Victoria: Oh.
Is that all?
You scared me for a minute, I thought
it was something important.
>> Nikki: Now, Victoria.
>> Victoria: He knows what I mean. Buying McCall is like
buying a-- a horse or, um, a car or like
a trendy coffee machine.
It's fun for a minute, but it doesn't really change the world.
>> Victor: And now it begins.
The competition, I mean.
>> Nikki: Yes, of course.
>> Victoria: You know, if you're still planning
on putting Adam in charge, that's-- that's a relief.
Because he's certainly doomed to fail.
Thankfully, it's not gonna be on my watch.
So, as far as I'm concerned, it's a win-win situation.
♪♪♪
>> Kyle: Love you, Harrison.
Hey. How are you feelin'?
>> Summer: Kyle-- >> Kyle: I'm sorry,
I-- I know I keep asking.
It's only because this isn't who we are.
I don't even recognize us anymore, and I miss us.
>> Summer: I do too. Okay?
I've been shut down, and I-- I've shut you out,
and I-- I-- I shouldn't do that.
>> Kyle: No, but-- but I understand why you would.
You need time and space and I wanna give that to you.
You know I would do anything for you.
>> Summer: I know.
>> Kyle: But you gotta let me in.
>> Summer: Kyle, I-- I know.
But right this second, I-- I have to go.
>> Kyle: What? Go where?
>> Jack: Wait, first Phyllis, and now Jeremy Stark died?
How is that possible?
Wait-- wait a minute.
How-- how did he die?
Was he poisoned?
>> Chance: I don't have all the details right now.
His body was found in a different jurisdiction.
>> Jack: So he was on the run.
Was it an accident?
>> Chance: I don't know.
All I know is a fisherman found him washed up on the shore
of Pheasant Lake, that's it.
>> Jack: Well, this is some blow to the DA's case against Diane.
I guess there was somebody out here who wanted Stark
dead and didn't mind taking Phyllis with him.
>> Chance: Okay, don't get ahead of yourself.
>> Jack: Oh, now you wanna slow things down?
You didn't waste a second arresting my fiancé.
Now, you wanna take some time and look at the facts?
>> Chance: Nothing has changed.
We go where the evidence leads us.
>> Jack: I knew you were on the wrong track.
I told you as much. Take this as a lesson, Detective.
Things are not always as they seem.
>> Diane: Hi.
You look like hell.
>> Michael: I'm too much of a gentleman to
return the compliment.
>> Diane: No, no, it's good.
It means you've been up all night working on my case.
>> Michael: That I have.
>> Diane: Well, that's what I wanna hear.
Now, tell me how the hell we're getting me out of this mess.
>> Nate: I like to think I'm succeeding at Newman Media
because of my own abilities.
>> Adam: Hm.
You definitely are.
I didn't mean to offend you.
But you have to admit, some of the big moves that you've been
making are just an extension of what Sally was implementing.
>> Nate: There's some of that.
But something I learned the first day of med school:
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
>> Adam: Hm. It's good advice.
>> Nate: Listen, Sally was a good fit for Newman Media.
She was doing a good job.
And I made a point of telling Victoria that.
>> Adam: Ooh.
I'm sure she loved that.
>> Nate: It was not well taken.
But I want you to know that I didn't go
campaigning for this job.
>> Adam: No, no, don't-- don't worry.
Sally is much better off out of that snake pit.
The constant stress of being under the Newman microscope,
every decision being challenged, relentlessly questioned.
She doesn't need that.
Especially now that she's pregnant.
>> Nate: From what I've seen, she doesn't have
a thing to worry about.
Nick would do all he can to shield her and his baby
from too much family scrutiny.
>> Adam: His baby?
Oh. You didn't know.
>> Nate: Know what?
>> Adam: Sally's beautiful, unborn bundle of joy,
she's mine.
>> Victor: My darling, you will change your mind
once you realize that McCall will give a number of Newman
divisions a run for their money.
>> Victoria: Okay, well, who doesn't enjoy a little
healthy competition?
Bring it on.
>> Victor: Mark my word, you'll be kicking yourself
for not buying McCall when you had a chance to do so.
>> Victoria: You're putting Adam in charge, correct?
So, if history truly has a way of repeating itself, I'm pretty
sure you're gonna be the one with all of the regrets, Daddy.
>> Victor: Don't be so cocky.
Adam has changed.
As the new head of this big conglomerate,
and a baby on the way, he'd have a far greater sense
of power.
He'd be someone to be reckoned with.
I promise you.
I love you both.
Don't work too hard.
>> Victoria: He's gone overboard. He has.
Has he forgotten what Adam is capable of?
He has no idea how hideously this venture is going to fail.
>> Nikki: You're disappointed that you lost McCall,
aren't you?
>> Victoria: No-- [ Scoffing ] I walked away.
>> Nikki: Because you're afraid that when your competitor is
your father, you'll never win.
>> Chance: The timing of Stark's death is definitely concerning.
>> Jack: Oh, I'll say.
>> Chance: It doesn't erase all the evidence that points
directly to Diane, though.
>> Jack: Oh, I think it puts a rather big
question mark on every aspect of the case against Diane.
Thank you, Detective.
I'll be in touch.
>> Chance: [ Sighing ] Gee.
Hey.
I'm, uh, I'm sorry.
I feel like I'm runnin' off all your customers.
>> Sharon: Well, if it's any consolation,
I know exactly how you feel.
>> Chance: What do you mean?
>> Sharon: Well, you wouldn't believe how seriously
people take their coffee.
I mean, it's gotta be the exact right temperature
and the right strength.
I mean, demands go on and on.
>> Chance: Oh, so now you're comparing caffeinating
the masses to police work, yeah?
>> Sharon: Well, they're both life and death situations.
[ Chance chuckling ] That's why people get
so worked up.
>> Chance: Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
But you know what, coffee's not gonna do it for me right now.
>> Sharon: Hm.
Well, you've come to the wrong place then.
>> Chance: No, I just mean I-- I need somethin' a little
bit more substantial.
You know, you did agree to let me take you to dinner sometime.
And I know it's, uh, a bit early, but I think
now is the perfect time.
>> Diane: Michael, I can't thank you enough for taking my case.
>> Michael: Thank me when the murder charges are dropped.
>> Diane: And I can't imagine what this is costing you.
>> Michael: I think you're misunderstanding our
business relationship.
This is actually costing Jack quite a lot.
>> Diane: No, not financially.
I mean it.
At least 90 percent of the people in this town wanna
see me fry, and I'm sure that includes Lauren.
>> Michael: Yeah.
Lauren's not happy, no.
But this isn't a popularity contest.
You think Phyllis gave a damn about how many
people cared about her?
What we cannot do is get bogged down on how
people feel about us.
We deal in facts.
And the first thing we do is focus on the problem that's
right here in front of us: building a strong defense.
>> Diane: So, tell me all the evidence
they have against me.
>> Michael: All right, well, we'll discuss that later.
First, you walk me through exactly what
happened the night Phyllis died.
The bad, the ugly, the potentially embarrassing,
all of it.
Because if you withhold anything from me, even the slightest
detail, you can find yourself another lawyer.
>> Kyle: You're not gonna tell me where you're going?
>> Summer: Do I need to check in with you before I go somewhere?
I-- I'm running an errand.
>> Kyle: Wait, let me come with you.
>> Summer: That is very unnecessary.
Just like it was unnecessary for you to track me down
at Neil's Jazz Lounge and yell at Chance.
>> Kyle: Hey, hold on.
I just don't think it's the healthiest thing
in the world for you to be hanging out in the place
where your mother died.
>> Summer: You know what, Kyle?
My mom was unpredictable.
And yeah, she drove me crazy, but we're a lot alike.
So, if I need to mourn her in this crazy,
unpredictable way, then you just need to understand that.
>> Kyle: Okay, okay.
I get it. Just be careful.
>> Summer: Besides, this errand, it could
bring us all some closure.
[ Michael sighing ] >> Michael: There's a gap
in your timeline.
[ Diane scoffing ] >> Diane: I have to
account for every second the night of the gala?
>> Michael: You were alone for a period of time between wishing
that you could strangle Phyllis to death and her
collapse in the lounge.
>> Diane: So, Christine wants to prove that I wasn't putting
myself back together after Phyllis attacked me.
What does she think?
That I ran out and grabbed some poison and somehow slipped it
into Phyllis's champagne?
>> Michael: Actually, no.
The poison wasn't in Phyllis's drink,
it was found inside of her mask.
>> Diane: Her mask?
I didn't even know that was possible.
>> Michael: I mean, why would you?
You're not a murderer.
Were you alone at any time in Phyllis's hotel room?
>> Diane: Yes, then.
After everyone left.
>> Michael: Ah, see, there.
There's your opportunity.
>> Diane: To what?
[ Michael sighing ] >> Michael: The empty vial of
poison was found in that suite.
>> Diane: Michael, that doesn't make any sense.
How could I run out and get some poison in the amount of time
that it took me to brush my hair and put on some lipstick?
W-- what's that?
>> Michael: It is an online receipt.
According to this, you purchased the toxin online
a few days before the gala.
>> Diane: What? Absolutely not.
>> Michael: You know, using your credit card.
>> Diane: Michael, I didn't do that.
>> Michael: A crime of passion is one thing,
but Christine's gonna try to say that this was premeditated.
That you had a plan.
>> Diane: The only thing on my mind before the gala was Jack
announcing our engagement.
I didn't buy any poison!
Online or otherwise.
Michael, look at me.
I am telling you the truth.
I had nothing to do with Phyllis's death.
Find Jeremy Stark.
He's the one behind all of this.
>> Michael: All right, all right, I'll find everybody.
But it won't be pretty, and it won't be easy.
>> Diane: Well, do whatever's necessary.
>> Michael: Christine's gonna have your family
testify against you.
>> Diane: I know.
>> Michael: I saw you and Phyllis fighting.
They heard you threaten Phyllis's life.
>> Diane: Jack and Kyle will understand.
They'll downplay it and explain the extenuating circumstances.
They'll do everything they can to help.
>> Michael: And what about Summer?
>> Diane: Summer will do everything she can to see
that I spend the rest of my life behind bars.
>> Kyle: Give me two minutes.
Can you do that?
Just talk to me.
What's going to bring us closure?
>> Summer: Answers.
That's what I need.
That's the only thing that's gonna bring me
any peace or quiet-- >> Kyle: I want that too.
I want morning espressos at our place in Milan and
Harrison correcting our Italian.
We were so happy.
>> Summer: Are you saying that we should just run off to Italy
to escape our problems? I-- >> Kyle: I meant what I said
at the door last night, Summer.
And I know you heard me.
I meant every word.
No matter what happens, you and I will always belong together.
I don't care how long it takes, I'm not going anywhere.
>> Summer: Answers, Kyle.
That's what I need, and then we can work on us.
[ front door closing ] >> Kyle: Dad.
>> Jack: Hi.
>> Summer: What's wrong, Jack?
>> Jack: It's Stark. He's dead.
>> Nikki: Darling, whether you admit it or not, I know
you're still smarting for losing McCall to your father.
>> Victoria: Yes, it would've been nice to add McCall,
but having Adam tethered to it made the idea untenable.
>> Nikki: I totally agree with you.
You made the right decision.
>> Victoria: Unfortunately, now I have to live with
Adam lording it over me until his predictable demise.
>> Nikki: Hm.
Well, this acquisition is gonna be big news.
Lots of fanfare. Press releases.
>> Victoria: Yeah, I know.
I'm sure Dad's gonna wanna make a big splash to help Adam.
>> Nikki: Might be a good time to get away.
>> Victoria: What do you mean?
Like, as in a vacation?
>> Nikki: Well sure, why not?
You know, take a few days for yourself.
Just relax a little bit.
>> Victoria: Well, I do have that trip to
Los Angeles coming up.
>> Nikki: No.
That is for business.
>> Victoria: I know that, Mom, but I could add
a few days for vacation.
I mean, you and I both know that I would probably turn it
into back-to-back meetings, but for me that's fun.
And I promise you, I would get a massage and
I would see the ocean.
I mean, it would probably be from
a window, but I would see it.
>> Nikki: You are only happy when you're multitasking,
just like your father.
>> Victoria: Mom, that's not true. I know how to squeeze
in a little R and R from time to time.
Just ask Nate.
He'll back me up on that.
>> Chance: Sharon, this was your choice?
>> Sharon: I know, I know.
Don't say it.
>> Chance: I mean, we could've gone anywhere in
town and this was your choice?
>> Sharon: How was I supposed to know that the dining room was
closed for a private event?
[ Chance groaning ] We are supposed to be
distracting me from this case, and you literally brought me
back to the scene of the crime.
>> Sharon: Well, who knows?
Maybe you'll have an epiphany while you're here.
[ Chance exhaling ]
>> Victor: Well, I understand congratulations are in order.
[ Adam chuckling ] >> Adam: For what?
>> Victor: You're having a daughter.
[ Adam smacking his leg ] >> Adam: That's right.
How'd you find out?
>> Victor: Your brother told me.
>> Adam: Hm.
>> Victor: How nice, man.
Makes me very happy.
>> Adam: Sally and I, we are-- we are very happy.
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
>> Adam: But I also know that you don't care for her, so I'm
not really buying how pleased you are about the situation.
>> Victor: Well, I gotta tell you,
another Newman.
She'll live to be in the next century,
be a shaker and a mover, innovate things.
Makes me very happy.
It really does. Okay?
I have some news of my own.
>> Adam: All right.
Let's hear it.
>> Victor: I bought McCall Unlimited.
I'm the new owner.
And you will start working there tomorrow morning.
[ Adam exhaling ] >> Adam: You bought McCall?
>> Victor: I bought McCall.
For you, your sons, your daughter.
It's a legacy that will go on forever.
>> Adam: Wow, that, um, that escalated quickly.
>> Victor: What do you mean by that?
>> Adam: My new baby with Sally.
It went from potential embarrassment to now
being used as leverage to get me to take a job.
Makes me wanna avoid McCall altogether.
>> Michael: The only thing that will bring Summer some semblance
of peace is clearing your name, and hopefully in the process,
discovering the person responsible for her death.
>> Diane: Which seems close to impossible now that
I see this evidence.
>> Michael: Including, but not limited to,
trying to explain the fact that an unconscious Phyllis was
holding your engagement ring.
>> Diane: Oh, no, no, that was in Jack's pocket.
And then Jeremy bumped into him on the dance floor and
he must've taken it.
>> Michael: You have no proof of that.
>> Diane: Well, no, because it was all happening so fast,
and there were a lot of people.
>> Michael: Okay, okay, we can revisit that.
Right now, we have to discuss what might be the most damaging
piece of evidence against you, provided by me.
>> Jack: Yeah, Stark's death definitely adds a whole new
layer of mystery to all of this.
>> Kyle: Summer?
Hey, hey, are you all right?
>> Summer: I guess I'm just gonna have to live
with all of these questions going unanswered.
I-- I've gotta go.
>> Kyle: Hey, can you stay for a little while?
We can talk about this.
>> Summer: I don't want to talk about Jeremy Stark.
He's a disgusting, manipulative criminal who tricked my mom into
marrying him and probably had something to do with her murder.
I've gotta go.
>> Kyle: Hey, let me go with you.
>> Summer: No.
I am going by myself.
I'll call you.
[ Door slamming ] >> Jack: Uh,
what's going on with her?
>> Kyle: Wish I knew.
>> ANNOUNCER: The Young and the Restless will continue.
>> Nikki: So, Nate, tell me something.
Do you think Victoria has the ability to relax outside
the work environment?
>> Nate: I say she's the boss.
And if she says she has that ability,
then I say she does too.
>> Nikki: Oh boy, it's disappointing to hear you
kiss up to her like that.
>> Nate: I mean it.
I-- I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
Victoria is a great boss.
And she wouldn't be where she is today if she didn't excel
at prioritizing or having impeccable instincts.
>> Nikki: Fine.
There's no point in talking to you when you're going
to team up against me.
[ Nate chuckling ] So, if you don't mind working
those extra hours, and clearly you don't, have at it.
I mean, it's paying off.
Newman Enterprises is poised for world domination.
>> Victoria: Nose to the grindstone.
>> Nikki: And on that note, I shall leave you.
Buzz me if you need me.
>> Victoria: Thank you, mom.
So, what brings you by?
>> Nate: I was hoping we can go over some ideas
I had for Langston, but if you're busy, I can wait.
>> Victoria: Oh, one second.
Hey. Would you, um, make sure that all of
the contracts are uploaded for the Whitsett meeting?
Thanks.
So, you were saying?
>> Nate: What's goin' on?
Whitsett?
>> Victoria: Oh, yes.
Um, I'm-- I'm headed to L.A.
for a shopping spree.
>> Nate: Ah, Rodeo Drive?
>> Victoria: No, I'm just in the mood for
something a little bigger.
Streaming platforms.
>> Nate: Wow, that wounds media-related.
Strange I'm just hearing about this now.
>> Victoria: Ah, well, better now than after
it's all said and done.
But since these, um, these new acquisitions would
be under your purview, if you happen to have time to
pop over to the left coast, why don't you join me?
[ Summer sighing ] >> Summer: Daniel?
It-- it-- Is it you?
>> Daniel: Who else would I be?
>> Summer: No, are you the one that--
Are you the one who-- >> Daniel: The one who has been
your brother your entire life?
Yes, that's me.
>> Summer: What-- what are you doing here?
>> Daniel: Um, I come here a lot, actually.
You know, clear my head.
Today's another one of those days.
>> Summer: Does it, um, does it usually work?
>> Daniel: Nope.
Glad we ran into each other though.
>> Summer: Why?
>> Daniel: Well, I haven't talked to you recently.
>> Summer: I'm not ready.
>> Daniel: Neither am I.
So, you first.
>> Phyllis: Michael, um, It's Phyllis. Listen, Diane is
out of control. I'm terrified.
She tricked Jack into proposing to her.
She'll get rid of anybody or anything that might stand
in her way.
I know you probably think I'm being overly dramatic,
I'm really serious this time.
Please listen to me, that woman just attacked me
and threatened to kill me.
God help me, Michael.
[ Phyllis panting ] I can't believe I'm saying this.
I'm actually afraid of that crazy bitch.
>> Diane: She sounds terrified.
>> Michael: Because of you?
>> Diane: No.
The Phyllis that trapped me in her hotel suite was
anything but scared.
She was accusatory.
She was goading me into fighting back.
>> Michael: Hm, that sounds on brand for her--
>> Diane: Yeah, you saw Phyllis the night of the gala.
How did she seem to you?
>> Michael: Fiery, on the attack. You saw her.
>> Diane: Right, right, so why would she leave that
message if she was really scared for her life? Why'd--
She would leave you a voicemail?
Does that make any sense?
>> Michael: She wasn't thinking clearly.
[ Diane sighing ] >> Diane: [ chuckling ] Okay.
What else don't I know about?
[ Diane scoffing ] >> Michael: When the police
searched Jack's home, they found a letter from
Phyllis among your things.
>> Diane: What letter?
She never sent me a letter.
What?
[ scoffing ] Michael, I have never seen this
before in my life.
W-- where was this found?
>> Michael: In your bedroom.
>> Diane: Someone planted it there.
>> Michael: Mm.
So, someone made their way into your very secure home
and left that letter there?
>> Diane: No, I'm not saying that Jeremy could have gotten
access to Jack's house.
But someone else could have.
>> Michael: Who?
Who?
[ Diane sniggering ] Oh, you're kidding me.
You're accusing Phyllis of being an accomplice to her own murder?
>> Chance: This was a lot better than I expected.
>> Sharon: You know, the food here is the same
as in the dining room, it's just smaller portions
and tinier plates.
>> Chance: Well, the food was great, but the company
was just outstanding.
Thank you, Sharon.
this has been a, uh, a perfect distraction for me right now.
Sorry.
Ah, hell.
Hey, uh, I gotta run and take care of this.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
This has been a very amusing afternoon.
>> Sharon: The pleasure was all mine.
>> Chance: Let's do it again sometime.
You know, maybe make it a proper dinner with, uh,
with big plates and everything.
>> Sharon: I would really like that.
>> Chance: Can I walk you out?
>> Sharon: Um, you know, actually, I think
I'm gonna stay, just for a little while.
Finish my drink and have someone wait on me for a change.
[ Chance chuckling ] But you go.
Go get some bad guys.
>> Chance: All right.
I'll see ya.
>> Sharon: All right.
Well, see ya.
>> Daniel: I think that you need to open up.
>> Summer: Says who?
>> Daniel: Well, Mom would.
Just, whatever you're feeling, just get it out there.
You know, it could be dark or crazy or funny--
>> Summer: You know what, I actually think the world would
be a better place if more people kept their emotions inside.
Stuffed them down so that they didn't cause problems.
>> Daniel: Well, that's the exact opposite of
what we should be doing.
>> Summer: Everybody grieves in different ways, Daniel.
>> Daniel: I know, but you are mourning
our mother like-- like an angry, reclusive pain in the--
>> Summer: Hey!
I just found out some pretty shocking news, okay?
>> Daniel: Okay. What?
>> Summer: Our new stepdad.
>> Daniel: Stark?
>> Summer: He's dead.
[ Daniel scoffing ] >> Daniel: Okay.
Wait, this is for real?
He's dead? Just like that?
How? When?
>> Summer: I don't know.
Nobody is telling me anything.
They're treating me like a toddler.
But hey, you know what?
They'll probably talk to you.
Why don't you-- why don't you go find Chance.
He'll tell you what's happening.
>> Daniel: Maybe.
Yeah, um, why don't you come with me
to the station?
>> Summer: So you can keep an eye on me?
Daniel, please.
I don't need constant supervision.
>> Daniel: Okay, fine.
>> Summer: Good.
>> Daniel: Listen, I will back off.
That doesn't mean that I'm not still worrying about you.
And I will be around whenever.
Okay?
Hey.
I love you.
>> Summer: I love you too.
>> Diane: Let's just look at this from a different angle.
What if Jeremy had an accomplice?
Someone who kept his secrets and did his bidding.
>> Michael: Just like you did when you were laundering
money for him in L.A.?
[ Diane sighing ] It's all gonna come out
in trial.
You better get used to people pokin' into your past and
using your sins for their own private entertainment.
But I digress, go ahead.
>> Diane: Phyllis and Jeremy conspired together before
to get me to leave town.
What if he was just using her to gain access to Jack's house?
I mean, Phyllis walked in and out of there as she pleased.
She visited Summer and Harrison.
>> Michael: All right, talk me through it.
Convince me.
>> Diane: Michael, I found her in our home, alone,
right before the gala.
She could've planted the letter then, and gained
access to my credit cards.
>> Michael: Go on.
>> Diane: Look, Phyllis could've been part of Jeremy's plan.
And if this letter is in her handwriting, which I'm assuming
it is, then doesn't that prove that she was in on it?
>> Michael: Hm. Why would she involve herself in a setup that
requires her own death?
>> Diane: Well, I-- I-- I don't know.
I don't know, but she was just so set on revenge that she would
do anything to make me suffer?
>> Michael: Look, I can't see her framing you for murder.
>> Diane: Michael, if you're not willing to look at
Phyllis as the bad guy, then I have already lost this case.
>> Michael: Look, I know you're searching for answers, but you
won't win any points in court, or with your attorney, who's
still grieving the loss.
>> Diane: What if Phyllis's death was an accident?
What if they were just setting me up for an attempted murder,
and then I-- I-- I don't know, the ambulance exploded
before Jeremy could give her the antidote.
Or what if Jeremy turned on Phyllis at the last minute
and gave her a lethal dose of poison?
>> Michael: It's farfetched.
>> Diane: Maybe.
But what if Phyllis's murder was a revenge plot
gone horribly wrong?
>> Victor: Of course, you'll run McCall.
It's yours to run.
If you think you can make something out of it.
[ Adam chuckling ] >> Adam: Look, if I agree to do
this, I want some guarantees.
>> Victor: What are they?
>> Adam: Total autonomy.
From Newman. And from you.
[ Victor chuckling ] [ Victor laughing ]
In your dreams, son.
>> Adam: Look, make it a reality or this deal is dead.
>> Victor: And you come to your senses, son,
before making another stupid, rash decision.
Think of the legacy you could provide.
For your sons, for your daughter, for yourself.
For years to come.
Or what would happen to you if you walk away from this?
>> Adam: It's-- it's an amazing opportunity.
>> Victor: Uh-huh.
>> Adam: I'll let you know.
>> Nate: You're inviting me to go away with you to L.A.?
>> Victoria: I'm asking you if you'd like to join me
on a business trip.
>> Nate: Do you think that's wise?
>> Victoria: Just a few minutes ago, you were telling my co-CEO
that you are willing to go wherever I say,
and now you're questioning me.
>> Nate: That is not what I meant.
>> Victoria: If your hesitation stems from the other night--
>> Nate: It does.
>> Victoria: Well, that's not a problem then.
I mean, you said that the incident was a mistake,
and you don't strike me as the type of man who would
make the same mistake twice.
>> Nate: I like to think that's correct.
>> Victoria: And also, you're an adult.
You're capable of vast amount of self-control.
>> Nate: True.
>> Victoria: All right, so what's the problem?
I'm about to purchase some companies that might change
the scope of your division.
I'd think you'd be interested in that.
>> Nate: I am very interested in the business, yes.
>> Victoria: Good.
Then you'll join me.
>> Nate: L.A. it is.
>> Kyle: What does Stark's death mean for Mom?
Is she any closer to getting released?
It's not like she could've had anything to do with
whatever happened to Stark.
>> Jack: That's what I tried to tell Chance. They
still don't have all the facts.
>> Kyle: Does Mom know?
Does Michael know?
>> Diane: I need to see Jeremy.
Can you figure out some way to get him in here?
>> Michael: To what purpose?
>> Diane: So I can get him to tell me the truth
about what happened.
>> Michael: He's on the run.
>> Diane: What?
>> Michael: The last time he was seen was shortly after
the memorial.
I mean, maybe when his little grift fell apart, he was
afraid he'd go back to jail.
>> Diane: So he's just disappeared? No. No, no,
no, no, we need more time.
>> Michael: Listen.
I'll do what I can on my end, but keep thinking of details.
Anything that will help us clear you.
>> Diane: All right, find him.
Find Jeremy Stark, because he is the key to everything.
>> Michael: All right, all right, I'll be in touch.
Hey! Kyle, I'm glad you called, I was just talking to--
>> Kyle: There's something I need to tell you.
>> Michael: Oh, why does this not sound good?
>> Kyle: Stark is dead.
