00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:16,416
What did you think?
4
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:18,318
I was gonna be lounging
around all morning.
5
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:20,019
I-- This is a work day.
6
00:00:20,086 --> 00:00:22,922
>> Tucker: I was gonna make
you breakfast in bed.
7
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,424
>> Ashley: I only see coffee.
8
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:26,226

still navigating my way

I'll give you a tip though.
12
00:00:30,897 --> 00:00:33,633
If you want to catch me before
I go in to work, you're gonna
13
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:34,901
have to start a little earlier.
14
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:37,504
>> Tucker: Yeah, but
it's impossible to know when you
15
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:41,207
get up 'cause my room's all
the way down the hall.
16
00:00:41,274 --> 00:00:44,244
We're gonna have to fix that,
I think.
17
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:45,478
>> Ashley: Not right now.
18
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,047
I have to get to work, but you
know, we'll talk about it later.

day.

Clear skies, the sun is out.

is on its way.

Things are finally getting
better between Nate and me.
36
00:03:14,661 --> 00:03:19,198
>> Elena: So at first,
I was thinking maybe an island.
37
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:23,536
Something charming,
not too far away, but then
38
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:26,973
I thought it might be touristy,
so then I was thinking maybe
39
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,075
something more intimate,
romantic.
40
00:03:29,142 --> 00:03:35,248
Or I could go big, you know,
exotic, palm trees, mojitos.
41
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:36,749
Just make a week of it.
42
00:03:36,816 --> 00:03:38,952
But then it might be hard
to book something like
43
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:42,322
that because you know,
this is also last minute.
44
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:44,557
Nate just told me
about it last night.

46
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:49,095

of surprises lately.

00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:51,364
>> Audra: Yeah, he certainly is.
48
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:53,466
>> Elena: And he couldn't have
been more sweet about it.
49
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:56,803
He told me to pick a place,
wherever I wanted to
50
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:59,272
go would be perfect
because as long as he was
51
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:01,674
with me, he would be happy.
52
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:04,978
And then he left a note on
my pillow reminding me
53
00:04:05,044 --> 00:04:07,547
to pick my dream vacation.
54
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:09,983
>> Audra: What a guy.
55
00:04:10,049 --> 00:04:13,553

doubted Nate when he told me
56
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:17,423
that I was his priority and
not work, and not Victoria.
57
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:19,792
I mean, he's really trying.
58
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:22,395
He's really been putting
in the work to prove
59
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,130
that I am important.
60
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:30,036
And I think now it's up to me to
trust him and I feel like I'm
61
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:32,338
finally in a place to do that.
62
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:36,109

and now he's in L.A.,
63
00:04:36,175 --> 00:04:37,777
on a business trip.
64
00:04:37,844 --> 00:04:38,845
>> Elena: Right.
65
00:04:38,911 --> 00:04:41,180
And it is a good thing that
he has you to look after
66
00:04:41,247 --> 00:04:42,615
things at Newman Media.
67
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,251
I'm pretty sure he is
going to be focused on
68
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:48,554
making deals and proving himself
to the powers that be.
69
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:52,191
Probably won't even come
up for air until he's back home.

himself into his work.

Well, practically back-to-back
meetings starting later today.
91
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:50,750
Um, you know, I just wanted to
go over the agenda,
92
00:05:50,817 --> 00:05:53,052
the bullet points, the goals,
the research, and just make sure

we have dinner later this
96
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,793
evening in Santa Monica where we
will make our pitch and...
97
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:02,695
>> Nate: And dazzle
them with our offer.

99

the way that you think.
100
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:10,470
But in the meantime, I do want
to go over the research and make
101
00:06:10,536 --> 00:06:12,905
sure that it's solid because
I really want to nail this deal.
102
00:06:12,972 --> 00:06:17,110
>> Nate: So do I.
103
00:06:17,176 --> 00:06:20,513
>> Jack: Why are you here?
104
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:23,082
>> Tucker: Oh, you mean
like what's the meaning
105
00:06:23,149 --> 00:06:24,884
of life and all that?
106
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:28,521
>> Jack: My family is in crisis
right now, Diane is in jail.

Summer is mourning
the loss of her mother.

We are struggling through
every hour of every day and
109
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:35,962
Ashley drops you on us.
110
00:06:36,028 --> 00:06:37,663
It's offensive.
111
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,832
>> Tucker: It's offensive
that your sister is moving
112
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:41,100
forward with her life?
113
00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:42,168
>> Jack: With you? Yes.
114
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,137
>> Tucker: Jack,
I know you don't like me.
115
00:06:44,203 --> 00:06:46,139
>> Jack: You apparently don't
realize how much
116
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:47,573
I don't like you.
117
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,909

or not, I am as dedicated
118
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:51,077
to family as you are.
119
00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:53,813
>> Jack: You don't know
the meaning of the word.
120
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,649
>> Tucker: Which word?
121
00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:57,717
>> Jack: Family.
122
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,652
>> Tucker: Uh, that's true.
123
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:02,822
I'm not as great at it as
you are, but I'd like to
124
00:07:02,889 --> 00:07:04,223
be and I'm trying to be.
125
00:07:04,290 --> 00:07:07,193
And that's one of
the reasons I'm here.
126
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:10,696
Uh, I'd like to repair my
relationship with Devon and
127
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,165
Ashley understands that.
128
00:07:12,231 --> 00:07:14,200
So, she's offered to
let me move in here.
129
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:15,301
>> Jack: Oh, let's be clear.
130
00:07:15,368 --> 00:07:20,406
Ashley asked you to move in here
to make my life hell.
131
00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:22,675
>> Tucker: Jack, I hope
you will receive this
132
00:07:22,742 --> 00:07:27,079
in the spirit that it's offered,
but not everything's about you.
133
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:31,450
And I came back to Genoa City
expressly to, uh, to show Ashley
134
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:34,453
that I'm worthy of her love.
135
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,856
And so we can make
a real future together.
136
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:38,925
>> Jack: A future? With you?
137
00:07:38,991 --> 00:07:39,959

>> Jack: After the unending
pain you caused her.
139
00:07:42,662 --> 00:07:45,765
How did you con her
into believing that?
140
00:07:45,832 --> 00:07:48,367
>> Tucker: So, you think that
she's just so easily
141
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:51,204
manipulated that she's fallen
prey to my evil agenda?
142
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:53,973
>> Jack: Yeah,
that about sizes it up.
143
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,075
>> Tucker: That's funny because
that's exactly what she thinks
144
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,944
about you and Diane.
145
00:08:03,015 --> 00:08:03,883
>> Billy: Hey.
146
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:05,084
>> Ashley: Hey.
147
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,353
So good to see somebody
working hard around here.
148
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:09,889
>> Billy: Yeah, it's been
crazy the last few days.
149
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:11,390
>> Ashley: Thank you, Jack.
150
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:14,927
He's lost his mind
because of Diane.
151
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:16,996
>> Billy: I-- I didn't
know he'd seen her.
152
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:17,763
What-- what happened?
153
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:18,731
>> Ashley: I don't know.
154
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:20,833
He doesn't keep me in the loop.
155
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:24,403
Frankly, I don't want
to be included in that insanity.
156
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:27,540
>> Billy: Well, you know, Jack's
in a tough spot right now.
157
00:08:27,607 --> 00:08:29,642
I think we can take it
easy on him a little.
158
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:30,910
>> Ashley: Oh, good idea, Billy.
159
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:32,011
I'll take it easy.
160
00:08:32,078 --> 00:08:35,481
Meanwhile,
Jack is defending a murderer
161
00:08:35,548 --> 00:08:36,749
to anybody that will listen.
162
00:08:36,816 --> 00:08:38,985
>> Billy: I think we should
watch our word choice.
163
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:40,987
You know, walking into
the C.E.O.'s office, claiming
164
00:08:41,053 --> 00:08:42,154
his fiancee's a murderer.
165
00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:44,857
>> Ashley: Murderess. I'm sorry.
166
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:47,159
>> Billy: Not the part
I was worried about.
167
00:08:47,226 --> 00:08:50,563
>> Ashley: As co-C.E.O.,
you should be worried because
168
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:53,099
Jack's priorities are
a threat to this company.
169
00:08:53,165 --> 00:08:54,500
>> Billy: I don't follow.
170
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:58,571
>> Ashley: Well, um, you are
aware of the barrage of media
171
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:00,139
inquiries we've been getting.
172
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,208
They're not asking
anything about Jabot.
173
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,810
They want to know about
the co-C.E.O.'s fiance who
174
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:06,279
murdered his ex-wife.
175
00:09:06,345 --> 00:09:09,815
And P.S., the trial
hasn't even started yet.
176
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:11,884
That's gonna be
a feeding frenzy.
177
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:14,520
So, I was just thinking that
maybe we should try to do
178
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:17,690
something before the Jack
and Diane Show tanks this
179
00:09:17,757 --> 00:09:20,426
company completely.
180
00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:29,201
>> Jack: Oh, wait, wait.
181
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,938
If you're gonna compare yourself
to Diane, stop right there.
182
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:33,773
Diane has genuinely changed.
183
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,274
She's done the work.
184
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:36,876
She's made amends.
185
00:09:36,943 --> 00:09:39,045
You, you're the same
Tucker that screwed over
186
00:09:39,111 --> 00:09:40,613
everybody in this town.
187
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,050
>> Tucker: Yeah, but who also
almost died in a car crash and--
188
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:45,384
>> Jack: Oh, yes, yes.
189
00:09:45,451 --> 00:09:48,154
And lived in an ashram
and found your soul.
190
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:50,089
The flaw there is
you don't have one.
191
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,590
>> Tucker: Okay.
192
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:55,094
Not a morning person, noted.
193
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:56,462
This coffee's good, man.
194
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:57,630
You sure you don't want some?
195
00:09:57,697 --> 00:10:00,700
>> Jack: I'll get coffee
on my way to work.
196
00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:03,936
>> Tucker: Hey, uh, by the way,
I just want you to know that I'm
197
00:10:04,003 --> 00:10:07,606
truly sorry for what Diane is
going through right now.
198
00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:10,509
For what it's worth, I don't--
I don't think she's entirely
199
00:10:10,576 --> 00:10:12,044
responsible for Phyllis's death.
200
00:10:12,111 --> 00:10:13,679
>> Jack: For what it's worth.
201
00:10:13,746 --> 00:10:16,382
I don't give a damn
what you think.
202
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:17,750
Wait, you know what?
203
00:10:17,817 --> 00:10:20,753
As long as we're having this
conversation, if you intend to
204
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:23,422
continue this little
dalliance with Ashley,
205
00:10:23,489 --> 00:10:27,660
whatever the hell it is,
be warned. There will be hell to
206
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:33,399
pay if you ever again
hurt her or use her.
207
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,935
>> Billy: I don't buy
into the whole doomsday scenario
208
00:10:36,002 --> 00:10:37,336
you're painting for Jabot.
209
00:10:37,403 --> 00:10:38,304
I think it's overblown.
210
00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:40,106
>> Ashley: Really?
211
00:10:40,172 --> 00:10:43,075
Well, because of the public's
fascination with this case,
212
00:10:43,142 --> 00:10:46,779
our department heads have
become well-versed in
213
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:47,947
the art of no comment.
214
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:50,249
They're not really running
their divisions, Billy.
215
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:51,417
It's not good for morale.
216
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:53,419
It's not good for our
bottom line and it's
217
00:10:53,486 --> 00:10:55,421
not good for Jabot's reputation.
218
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,556
>> Billy: You know,
Jabot has faced worse and
219
00:10:57,623 --> 00:10:58,524
come back even stronger.
220
00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:00,359
>> Ashley: But this is
just the beginning.
221
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,895
Jack is distracted,
he's throwing his money and
222
00:11:02,962 --> 00:11:05,698
his time behind whatever defense
that Michael comes up with.
223
00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:08,934
He's doing nothing to get
in front of the explosion
224
00:11:09,001 --> 00:11:10,836
that's gonna happen day one
of Diane's trial.
225
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:11,971
>> Billy: That's a good point.
226
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:14,340
I'll talk to P.R. and make sure
we have a plan in place.
227
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:16,375
>> Ashley: Great idea,
but it's not gonna work because
228
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:17,643
the problem is Diane Jenkins.
229
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:19,011
Oh, just tell me this.
230
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:23,916
How does one spin an employee
who's engaged to a co-C.E.O.
231
00:11:23,983 --> 00:11:25,284
who murders a former colleague?
232
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,386
>> Billy: Alleged murder,
Ashley, okay?
233
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,255
And again,
I think you're overreacting.
234
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:30,189
>> Ashley: I am not.
235
00:11:30,256 --> 00:11:31,724
I'm being realistic.
236
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:34,693
Jack's behavior has been
irrational since he got back
237
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,197
with Diane and I'm warning you,
we need to make moves to do
238
00:11:38,264 --> 00:11:44,670
whatever we can to protect our
company before it's too late.
239
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:47,873
>> Elena: Victoria went to L.A.?
240
00:11:49,909 --> 00:11:55,281
[ Elena sighing ]
I asked Nate point blank and he
241
00:11:55,347 --> 00:12:00,386
told me he was going alone.
242
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:04,657
Maybe Victoria joined the trip,
spur of the moment.
243
00:12:04,723 --> 00:12:06,559
>> Audra: The plan was
always for the two of
244
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,260
them to go together.
245
00:12:08,327 --> 00:12:11,330
Yeah, I think she asked
him to make the trip.
246
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:12,798
>> Elena: How do you know?
247
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:15,000
>> Audra: Well, Nate told
me about it yesterday.
248
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:18,737
Now, I wanted to tag along,
learn from my boss,
249
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:22,842
but he said he needed me to run
the office since he and Victoria
250
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,344
were making the trip.
251
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:32,985
That he was hoping she'd
teach him a few things.
252
00:12:33,052 --> 00:12:39,558
I can only imagine the things
she'll be teaching him.
253
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:41,160
>> Elena: Oh my God.
254
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,596
>> Audra: You know,
I can't believe the man
255
00:12:43,662 --> 00:12:45,097
would lie to your face.
256
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:48,467
After all the talk about
making you a priority.
257
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:49,935
He-- he sneaks off to L.A.
258
00:12:50,002 --> 00:12:56,108
with Victoria. What an ass.
259
00:12:56,175 --> 00:12:59,879
You know, and then he gets
you all excited about
260
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:01,547
this romantic getaway.
261
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:02,581
>> Elena: Stop it.
262
00:13:02,648 --> 00:13:04,817
>> Audra: You know,
the jerk only made the play
263
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:07,653
to cover his guilt.
264
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,857
Nate has a brilliant,
beautiful woman in his life
265
00:13:11,924 --> 00:13:14,660
and he'd rather go chase
after Victoria Newman.
266
00:13:14,727 --> 00:13:16,996
>> Elena: Audra, stop.
267
00:13:27,506 --> 00:13:29,975
>> Ashley: You know,
Billy, honestly, Diane
268
00:13:30,042 --> 00:13:31,677
always has her own agenda.
269
00:13:31,744 --> 00:13:33,012
You know that.
270
00:13:33,078 --> 00:13:34,813
And guess what she wants now.
271
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,081
Everything.
272
00:13:36,148 --> 00:13:38,651
She wants, Jack, she wants his
name, she wants his money,
273
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:39,752
she wants his power.
274
00:13:39,818 --> 00:13:42,521
She's a danger to him
and to us and the fact that Jack
275
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:45,824
doesn't see that proves he's in
no position to be protecting our
276
00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:48,227
company or to be running Jabot.
277
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:50,329
>> Billy: So, what do you plan?
278
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:52,198
Hm. What do you think we
should do about that?
279
00:13:52,264 --> 00:13:55,134
[ Ashley sighing ]
>> Ashley: Don't you think
280
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:57,403
it's kind of obvious?
281
00:13:57,469 --> 00:13:58,704
>> Billy: You can't be serious.
282
00:13:58,771 --> 00:13:59,838
>> Ashley: I am serious.
283
00:13:59,905 --> 00:14:03,075
We need to convene
the board and contain Jack.
284
00:14:03,142 --> 00:14:05,644
I don't want to see it come
to that, but maybe we need
285
00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:07,613
to do something. I don't know,
shut him down completely.
286
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,615
>> Billy: You need to slow
down a little bit, okay?
287
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:11,684
And you need to listen to
yourself because it sounds
288
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:12,585
like you're planning a coup.
289
00:14:12,651 --> 00:14:14,486
>> Ashley: I'm protecting
the company.
290
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:16,322
>> Billy: Okay, well,
that's not gonna happen.
291
00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:18,624
We are not gonna force Jack
from his position as
292
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:19,992
C.E.O of this company.
293
00:14:20,059 --> 00:14:22,428
There's no reason to believe he
doesn't have the company's best
294
00:14:22,494 --> 00:14:24,096
interest and our family's
best interests at heart.
295
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:26,065
>> Ashley: There's every reason
to believe that because his
296
00:14:26,131 --> 00:14:28,200
obsession with Diane has gone on
too far and it simply
297
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:30,502
has to stop, period.
298
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:32,771
>> Billy: This is about
a hell of a lot more
299
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:34,907
than business isn't it?
300
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:39,311
>> Ashley: Oh, wow.
301
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:41,747
>> Tucker: What Ashley and
I have, there's no doubt, it's,
302
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:44,283
you know, it's one of the great,
epic love stories.
303
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:47,853
You'll see,
we're meant to be together.
304
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,755
>> Jack: Oh,
you want me to see that?
305
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:50,823
>> Tucker: Yeah.
306
00:14:50,889 --> 00:14:55,394
I mean, listen, I understand
your resistance because
307
00:14:55,461 --> 00:14:58,230
I was not a great guy,
back in the day, I admit it.
308
00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:02,167
Um, and that's why
while I'm here,
309
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:05,537
I'm as dedicated to proving
myself to you and the rest
310
00:15:05,604 --> 00:15:07,640
of the Abbots as I am to Ashley.
311
00:15:07,706 --> 00:15:10,342
>> Jack: This little stunt.
312
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,778
>> Tucker: It's a kick
in the pants, huh?
313
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:16,315
>> Jack: As furious as I am at
Ashley for foisting you on
314
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:20,019
this family at a time like this,
she is still my sister.
315
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:21,153
I love her.
316
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:22,955
I will always protect her.
317
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:24,857
>> Tucker: Now, see,
that's something we have in
318
00:15:24,923 --> 00:15:29,495
common then because I love her
and I will always protect her.
319
00:15:29,561 --> 00:15:31,730
See? We should do this
more often.
320
00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:33,032

but I-- I shouldn't have
323
00:15:48,981 --> 00:15:50,949
gone off like that.
324
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:54,320
Look, it's just for months,
okay? Nate's sworn to you that
325
00:15:54,386 --> 00:15:58,390
there was nothing going on
between him and Victoria.
326
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:02,995
Look, I knew he was ambitious,
okay? I just didn't peg him
327
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:05,698
for a cheating liar.
328
00:16:05,764 --> 00:16:10,636

enough to trust him.
329
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:18,310
I guess I just wanted to believe
that we were gonna be okay.
330
00:16:18,377 --> 00:16:24,683
So, um, you think they've
been sleeping together this
331
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:27,052
whole time?
332
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:31,290
Or was that
the point of this trip?
333
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:34,226
>> Audra: Look, there's a real
chance we're reading too
334
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:36,295
much into this, okay?
335
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:40,432
That there's nothing
going on between them.
336
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:43,635
Look, maybe we should
take a step back.
337
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:45,671
>> Elena: No...
338
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:48,807
because regardless of whether or
not Nate and Victoria have
339
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:53,679
actually slept together,
Nate is a liar.
340
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:56,915
He played me.

in front of my face and he

00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:05,157
got me right where he wanted me.
343
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:12,998
And there I was,
trusting, patient,
344
00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:19,037
stupid girlfriend
believing in a lie
345
00:17:19,104 --> 00:17:25,310
while he's off trying to
really impress his boss.
346
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:27,613
>> Victoria: The company has
taken some hits, but they're
347
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:28,981
definitely undervalued.
348
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,416
>> Nate: Agreed.
349
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:33,585
The dynamics for podcasting
platforms are in flux.
350
00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:36,321
A lot of companies are
downsizing, reorganizing,
351
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,390
which is great timing for us.
352
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:42,261
Newman can swoop in, rebuild,
make the company leaner,
353
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:43,228
more muscular.
354
00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:45,531
>> Victoria: Stronger,
more powerful.
355
00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:47,699
Yes, I do like
the sound of that.
356
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:50,369
We can reorganize creators
and copyright owners
357
00:17:50,436 --> 00:17:52,504
and build an economic model that
will benefit everyone.
358
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:54,373
>> Nate: How can they say no?
359
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,944
>> Victoria: You're
very hard to say no to.
360
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:01,313
>> Nate: Um, something
I was thinking about last night.
361
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:05,083
A way to recoup a portion of our
investment could be to include
362
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:07,085
premium subscription offerings.
363
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:10,956
Generate intellectual property
deals with Hollywood.
364
00:18:11,023 --> 00:18:12,758
>> Victoria: Does your
brain ever stop working?
365
00:18:12,825 --> 00:18:14,593
>> Nate: I wish I did.
366
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:18,030
I-- I must confess,
I listen to those podcasts
367
00:18:18,096 --> 00:18:20,899
featuring stories that help
put you to sleep at night.
368
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:23,969
>> Victoria: Mm. That sounds
very boring.
369
00:18:24,036 --> 00:18:25,037
>> Nate: Boring?
370
00:18:25,103 --> 00:18:27,840
This company actually has
a division dedicated
371
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:28,974
to those types of stories.
372
00:18:29,041 --> 00:18:31,109
>> Victoria: Well, can that
please be one of the first
373
00:18:31,176 --> 00:18:32,678
divisions that we downsize?
374
00:18:32,744 --> 00:18:36,415
>> Nate: You are very
hard to say no to.
375
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,017
>> Victoria: You know,
I have a very hard time
376
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:44,289
picturing you listening to
sleepy story time podcasts.
377
00:18:44,356 --> 00:18:45,724
>> Nate: I find it soothing.
378
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:49,194
Um, you know, someone's voice
in my ear as I drift
379
00:18:49,261 --> 00:18:52,364
off to sleep on nights,
I'm feeling a little lonely.
380
00:18:52,431 --> 00:18:56,668
>> Victoria: A man like you
can't possibly feel lonely.
381
00:18:56,735 --> 00:18:58,437
>> Nate: Once in a while.
382
00:18:58,504 --> 00:19:01,473
More often now, I guess.
383
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:05,777
Ever since I entered this
new stage of my life.
384
00:19:05,844 --> 00:19:07,746
>> Victoria: How so?
385
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,082
[ Nate exhaling ]
>> Nate: It seems the people who
386
00:19:10,148 --> 00:19:13,151
matter the most to me aren't
moving forward with me.
387
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:16,255
Where I see positives,
they see negatives.
388
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:20,025
They don't understand
what drives me.
389
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,294
>> Victoria: Well, you know,
bigger, better, more.
390
00:19:22,361 --> 00:19:23,829
It's not for everyone.
391
00:19:23,896 --> 00:19:26,498
But for some of us,
it's the best reason to get
392
00:19:26,565 --> 00:19:28,767
out of bed in the morning.
393
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,402
>> Nate: You really do get it.
394
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:32,871
>> Victoria: I do, I get it.
395
00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:35,173
I can't tell you how good it
feels working with someone
396
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,412
that I'm so in sync with.
397
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:44,049
So anyway, the numbers are
a little soft on this,
398
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:47,219
but I think we can play that
to our advantage as we, um,
399
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:49,655
refine our position.
400
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:52,925
>> Nate: To do that,
we have to make
401
00:19:52,991 --> 00:19:54,960
the most of the moment.
402
00:19:59,565 --> 00:20:02,267
>> Jack: What a day.
403
00:20:02,334 --> 00:20:03,802
>> Michael: Hello to you too.
404
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:06,371
>> Jack: Where are we
with Diane's defense?
405
00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:09,675
>> Michael: Oh, well, we are
currently sitting in the shadow
406
00:20:09,741 --> 00:20:12,344
of a mountain of evidence
that all points to Diane.
407
00:20:12,411 --> 00:20:16,081
Jeremy Stark remains dead,
but somehow we are still waiting
408
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:17,549
to learn of his cause of death.
409
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:19,585
>> Jack: Waiting is
getting us nowhere. We have
410
00:20:19,651 --> 00:20:21,620
to be proactive, Michael.
411
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:24,423
>> Michael: What do you
recommend? Holding a seance
412
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:26,725
and raising Jeremy Stark
from the dead?
413
00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:27,960
That would be proactive.
414
00:20:28,026 --> 00:20:30,529
>> Jack: He was our best
chance at exonerating Diane.
415
00:20:30,596 --> 00:20:32,397
Now what? Dead ends?
416
00:20:32,464 --> 00:20:33,799
The police aren't helping.
417
00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:36,368
Diane needs something
to hold onto, so do I.
418
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:39,104
Something that will
give her some hope.
419
00:20:39,171 --> 00:20:40,906
Stark is dead. We have to pivot.
420
00:20:40,973 --> 00:20:42,541
How do we do that?
421
00:20:42,608 --> 00:20:44,710
>> Michael: Maybe not pivot
so much.
422
00:20:44,776 --> 00:20:48,480
>> Jack: Meaning what?
423
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:51,617
>> Michael: We're behind
the game where Jeremy Stark
424
00:20:51,683 --> 00:20:53,385
is concerned.
425
00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:56,488
We now do what we should have
done when he was
426
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:57,422
still breathing.
427
00:20:57,489 --> 00:20:59,257
Investigate the hell out of him.
428
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,269
>> Announcer: The Young and
the Restless will continue.
429
00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:31,123
>> Ashley: Do you know
how many times Jack has tried to
430
00:21:31,189 --> 00:21:32,357
kick me out of my own home?
431
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:34,359
Not once,
not twice, but three times.
432
00:21:34,426 --> 00:21:36,194
Simply because I don't
want to play along with
433
00:21:36,261 --> 00:21:37,963
this fatal attraction thing he's
got going with Diane.
434
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:39,164
>> Billy: Okay, great.
435
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:41,299
So he kicks you out of the house
and your payback is to kick
436
00:21:41,366 --> 00:21:42,200
him out of the company.
437
00:21:42,267 --> 00:21:43,368
That's your plan?
438
00:21:43,435 --> 00:21:45,404
>> Ashley: I told you I want to
convene the board so I can
439
00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:46,571
protect the company.
440
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:48,607
>> Billy: So you're not looking
for revenge on Jack?
441
00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:49,941
>> Ashley: No, I'm not.
442
00:21:50,008 --> 00:21:52,577
Although because of recent
events, I can see why it might
443
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:56,081
be perceived that way, yes.
444
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,749
>> Billy: Ashley,
what are you doing?
445
00:21:57,816 --> 00:22:00,285
>> Ashley: I invited Tucker
to move in with me. I mean,
446
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:02,788
he has his own room, but yeah.
447
00:22:02,854 --> 00:22:06,091
>> Billy: The man that
shredded your heart into pieces.
448
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:07,893
The man that wanted to
steal this company.
449
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:10,128
The man who lies to you and
everyone in town simply
450
00:22:10,195 --> 00:22:11,163
by opening his mouth.
451
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:13,131
Do you think that's a good
idea to plant him under
452
00:22:13,198 --> 00:22:14,199
the roof of our family home?
453
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,435
>> Ashley: I had a lot of
reasons for what I did
454
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,136
and not one of them
is your business.
455
00:22:18,203 --> 00:22:19,838
>> Billy: Ashley, you're
looking for war, okay?
456
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:21,006
Tucker is a live grenade.
457
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:23,542
He is just as malicious as
you believe Diane to be.
458
00:22:23,608 --> 00:22:26,044
What makes you think that
he's not using you to try
459
00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:27,145
and take over this company?
460
00:22:27,212 --> 00:22:28,947
>> Ashley: Okay, we're
not talking about Tucker McCall.
461
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,549
We're talking about
Diane and Jack.
462
00:22:30,615 --> 00:22:32,451
>> Billy: Hold on,
I thought we were talking about
463
00:22:32,517 --> 00:22:33,118
protecting this company?
464
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:34,052
>> Ashley: Diane is lethal.
465
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,754
She could destroy
Jack and our family.
466
00:22:35,821 --> 00:22:38,323
Now instead of standing
there and accusing me of blowing
467
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:39,458
everything out of proportion.
468
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:41,727
Why don't you start
being as afraid as I am?
469
00:22:41,793 --> 00:22:44,730
This woman has incredible
influence over our brother
470
00:22:44,796 --> 00:22:47,532
and she could very well beat
those murder charges.
471
00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:48,867
She will be right back here.
472
00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:51,603
She will be insinuating herself
even more deeply into our
473
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:54,039
family and that she will
establish herself as queen
474
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:57,609
of the Abbott household
and this company.
475
00:22:57,676 --> 00:23:01,213
Is that what you want?
476
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:03,415
>> Michael: Did you contact
the financial expert
477
00:23:03,482 --> 00:23:04,516
I connected you with?
478
00:23:04,583 --> 00:23:06,151
>> Jack: The forensic
accountant? Yeah, unfortunately,
479
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:07,919
she couldn't trace
Stark's money.
480
00:23:07,986 --> 00:23:10,122
She promised me she would
leave no stone unturned, but
481
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:11,590
I haven't heard from her yet.
482
00:23:11,656 --> 00:23:13,825
I am waiting and I--
>> Michael: Listen, listen,
483
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:14,893
give her some time.
484
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,995
Nothing tells a better story
than a good money trail.
485
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:19,030
Now I'm gonna work on
the subpoena process
486
00:23:19,097 --> 00:23:20,599
regarding the phone records.
487
00:23:20,665 --> 00:23:23,168
Phyllis's should be easy
enough since she is
488
00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:25,036
the victim of the crime--
>> Jack: What about Stark's
489
00:23:25,103 --> 00:23:26,104
records?
490
00:23:26,171 --> 00:23:29,074
>> Michael: Yeah, well,
that's a-- a trickier one.
491
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:33,311
At present, we have nothing
that ties him in any way
492
00:23:33,378 --> 00:23:34,379
to Phyllis's murder.
493
00:23:34,446 --> 00:23:37,182
Ergo, we need a very
convincing argument in order
494
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,951
to legally subpoena his records.
495
00:23:40,018 --> 00:23:41,753
>> Jack: Sounds unlikely.
496
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:44,990
Wait, legally subpoena?
497
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:47,793
>> Michael: I might know
some people.
498
00:23:47,859 --> 00:23:50,829
These people know how
to access all sorts of
499
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:53,198
data, including calls.
500
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:57,569
They could do it in a quiet,
proactive kind of way.
501
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:59,571
>> Jack Great. Do it.
502
00:23:59,638 --> 00:24:02,440
>> Michael: I can use
the same magic to get, uh,
503
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:06,411
security footage to trace
Stark's movements while
504
00:24:06,478 --> 00:24:08,180
he was in Genoa City.
505
00:24:08,246 --> 00:24:11,550
You know, thanks to this
high-tech, Big Brother's
506
00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:15,520
watching world we live in,
it could, uh, it could glean us
507
00:24:15,587 --> 00:24:16,254
a thing or two.
508
00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:17,589
>> Jack: Great. Do it now.
509
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:19,591
This is a plan.
510
00:24:19,658 --> 00:24:21,326
>> Michael: Yeah.
511
00:24:21,393 --> 00:24:23,595
>> Jack: Wait,
what aren't you saying?
512
00:24:23,662 --> 00:24:27,098
[ Michael sighing ]
>> Michael: As much as it
513
00:24:27,165 --> 00:24:33,438
makes sense to us that
that scum killed Phyllis,
514
00:24:33,505 --> 00:24:41,046
The "Stark did it defense" is
a very tricky path to navigate.
515
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:46,251
It's-- it's really too easy
to pin a crime on a dead man who
516
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:48,820
can't defend himself and it
really doesn't play well

to any judge or jury.
518
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:55,560
And if we don't have bona fide,
indisputable evidence,

rip us to shreds.

a case blaming this on Stark?

>> Michael: It's not
a slam dunk, but it can be done.
522
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:07,706
We just need to focus on proving
that the evidence against
523
00:25:07,772 --> 00:25:09,474
Diane was fabricated.
524
00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:19,451
It was planted by a manipulative
mastermind hell bent on revenge.

Although, the best defense
relies on the answers we find.

But if we don't find any--
>> Jack: Not an option,
527

could be a place to expand.

You know, I read something
that you might be interested in.

It's how to balance
leadership in business.

It's push or pull,
lighting a fire under someone or

stoking the fire within.

send me advance copies,

a blurb for the cover.

I hate what is happening

to understand Nate.
624

I supported him, even
when I knew the decisions
625
00:30:15,046 --> 00:30:17,015
he was making were wrong.
626
00:30:17,081 --> 00:30:20,385
And when he couldn't perform
surgery, I saw him struggle to
627
00:30:20,451 --> 00:30:25,990
redefine himself and to find his
place in the world again.
628
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:29,327
He was a god in the O.R.
629
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:34,399
and then suddenly,
he was just a normal guy.
630
00:30:34,465 --> 00:30:40,471
And don't get me wrong,
he had a great life, success,

632
00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:48,713
What he wanted was power
and he didn't care about
633
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:51,282
breaking the rules to get it.
634
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:56,521
In fact, he wanted to make
his own rules because it was all
635
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:57,789
about winning for him.
636
00:30:57,855 --> 00:31:00,725
And yet, I still stood by him.

I tried to reason with him.
638
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:06,631
I tried to remind him of
the man that he used to be.
639
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:10,802
Someone who is compassionate,
someone who was loyal,

someone who knew the difference
between right and wrong,
641

but I guess lying became
easier than telling the truth.
642
00:31:20,178 --> 00:31:25,183
And power was more important
than love or family.
643
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:31,389
And the consequences,
the collateral damage,
644
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:32,824

00:33:17,362 --> 00:33:19,430
>> Ashley: You still have
your suite?
683
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:23,468
>> Tucker: I do,
ready and waiting.
684
00:33:23,534 --> 00:33:25,770
>> Ashley: Excellent.
685
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,472
>> Tucker: Shall we?
686
00:33:27,538 --> 00:33:29,807
>> Ashley: Yeah.
687
00:33:29,874 --> 00:33:33,511
[ Tucker clearing his throat ]
>> Tucker: He can see us, right?
688
00:33:33,578 --> 00:33:36,848
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
689
00:33:45,423 --> 00:33:49,360
>> Michael: You could have
sold tickets to that?
690
00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,796
Sorry.
691
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:52,830
>> Jack: You know what?
692
00:33:52,897 --> 00:33:54,599
It's not my problem.
693
00:33:54,665 --> 00:33:57,435
I cannot waste my time playing
games when the woman I love
694
00:33:57,502 --> 00:33:59,971
desperately needs my help.
695
00:34:00,037 --> 00:34:03,007
Michael, we can find
the evidence we need.
696
00:34:03,074 --> 00:34:06,110
Look, every question we've had,
every-- every obstacle
697
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:08,146
we found has revealed one thing.
698
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:11,315
We have not begun to scratch
the surface of what happened
699
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:12,550
to Phyllis that night.
700
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:16,654
If we can just find some truths,
we can pull back some layers.
701
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:17,922
>> Michael: All right.
702
00:34:17,989 --> 00:34:20,925
I will reach out to my contacts
today about the security footage
703
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:22,693
and the phone records, right?
704
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,895
>> Jack: Thank you.
705
00:34:23,961 --> 00:34:26,197
And look,
I-- I know you're concerned--
706
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:29,133
>> Michael: No, well, look,
every brilliant attorney
707
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,836
has his moments of doubt.
708
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:34,138
But I'm gonna give this my all.
709
00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:37,175
>> Jack: You will. So will I.
710
00:34:37,241 --> 00:34:38,743
We have to help Diane.
711
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:43,648
I'm going to do everything I can
to prove that she's innocent.
712
00:34:43,714 --> 00:34:46,717
I don't want this
ever to go to trial.
713
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:08,539
>> Audra: What are you gonna do?
714
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:11,609
>> Elena: Go to L.A.,
catch them in the act,
715
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:16,080
make a scene, throw his clothes
in the middle of the street,
716
00:35:16,147 --> 00:35:18,649
call him, yell at him.
717
00:35:18,716 --> 00:35:21,052
>> Audra: All valid options.
718
00:35:21,118 --> 00:35:25,823
>> Elena: What I'm not
gonna do is nothing.
719
00:35:25,890 --> 00:35:30,394
Not this time.
720
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:32,663
You offered me an option once.
721
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,533
>> Audra: Yeah,
but you turned it down.
722
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,502
Said you didn't like
to play games.
723
00:35:37,568 --> 00:35:43,941
>> Elena: Yeah, well, obviously
the circumstances have changed.
724
00:35:44,008 --> 00:35:47,645
I think it's time
we find J.T. Hellstrom.
