>> Sally: Thank you, sir.
>> Adam: My pleasure.
2
00:00:15,982 --> 00:00:20,253
So, what are we thinking?
Thinking old favorites or
3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,856
something adventurous
off the specials list?
4
00:00:22,922 --> 00:00:27,694
>> Sally: Food can wait.
You said you had news.
5
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:32,832
>> Adam: Uh, I do, indeed.
>> Sally: So?
6
00:00:32,899 --> 00:00:37,604
>> Adam: It's a surprise
for later.
7
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:39,773
>> Sally: Come on, Adam.
Seriously? I mean, you can't
8
00:00:39,839 --> 00:00:41,941
leave me in suspense like that.
I'm never going to make it
9
00:00:42,008 --> 00:00:44,110
through the appetizer.
>> Adam: Patience is a virtue.
10
00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:47,881
>> Sally: To heck with that.
Is it a vacation?
11
00:00:47,947 --> 00:00:50,583
A weekend getaway?
Hopefully someplace warm?
12
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:53,620
>> Adam: Uh, we can do that too,
but no.
13
00:00:53,686 --> 00:00:58,725
>> Sally: Okay, well, it's news.
Big enough to keep a secret.
14
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:06,099
Did you get me a puppy?
A Lamborghini?
15
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:09,302
>> Adam: Not even close.
[ Sally sighs ]
16
00:01:09,369 --> 00:01:11,671
>> Sally: Oh, my God,
my own private jet. Oh, my God.
17
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,940
Honestly, Adam, really,
you-- you shouldn't have.
18
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:25,185
>> Adam: Good things
come to those who wait.
19
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:35,128
>> Seth: You have
a beautiful home, Nikki.
20
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:38,431
>> Nikki: Oh, thank you.
So, I have us set up
21
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:41,668
in here with coffee.
You take it black, right?
22
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:45,538
>> Seth: That's good memory.
>> Nikki: Well, please sit down.
23
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:50,877
>> Seth: Oh, thank you.
Thanks.
24
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,413
And, uh,
thank you so much for taking
25
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,484
the time to meet with me, Nikki.
I've been feeling just really
26
00:01:57,550 --> 00:02:00,954
bad about letting you down.
>> Nikki: Oh, Seth, there's no
27
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:04,390
reason for you to feel that way.
I mean, how could you
28
00:02:04,457 --> 00:02:07,360
have helped me maintain
my sobriety when you
29
00:02:07,427 --> 00:02:12,665
couldn't maintain yours?
>> Seth: Yeah.
30
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:16,736
So, when I agreed to
become your sponsor,
31
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:21,241
I was-- I was making a promise,
you know, to be there for you.
32
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:27,680
To help you kick the bottle
no matter what it took.
33
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:32,452
When I didn't follow through,
I just felt-- I felt shattered.
34
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:38,958
Yeah, that's...
Well, I just-- I mean, I took
35
00:02:39,025 --> 00:02:46,165
my first drink and here I am.
>> Nikki: So tell me,
36
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:51,671
are you drunk right now?
Or are you at that
37
00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:56,609
stage where you're just
maintaining a constant buzz?

It's a little hard to tell

you're not with Tucker.

You two seem to be joined
at the hip lately.
49

You know, for someone who's
trusted him, not trusted him,
50
00:04:06,012 --> 00:04:11,384
been his closest ally
and plotted to take him down.

Audra. Confusing as hell.

You're all over the map
with this guy.
54

Do you love him?
Do you hate him?

Are you indifferent?
I can't keep track.

you don't have to, since I can

handle Tucker all on my own.
>> Nate: Ah, if you say so.

he'll be joining me soon.

Can I buy you a cocktail
while I wait?
60

>> Tucker: You're the last
person I expected to
61
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:52,558
break into my room.
>> Ashley: Who's at
62
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,260
the top of the list?
I'm intrigued.
63
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:59,666
>> Tucker: What do you want?
>> Ashley: I believe you.
64
00:04:59,732 --> 00:05:01,668
You're right and I'm wrong.
65
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:12,645
>> Tucker: What exactly are we
talking about here? Because I'm
right about
66
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:15,014
a great many things.
>> Ashley: I'm talking
67
00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:17,583
about Paris.
The fight that ended us.
68
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:19,752
>> Tucker: Yeah,
I kind of figured.
69
00:05:19,819 --> 00:05:22,321
>> Ashley: I looked at
the situation from every angle.
70
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:25,458
I even
went to Paris to investigate.
71
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:27,360
>> Tucker: Right, and
discovered that I bribed
72
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:30,196
an entire waitstaff.
>> Ashley: It was kind
73
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:33,166
of extreme.
Like how I reacted to just about
74
00:05:33,232 --> 00:05:37,336
everything that happened.
>> Tucker: It's funny, you've
75
00:05:37,403 --> 00:05:42,041
been so adamant that I've been
gaslighting you out of spite.
76
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,343
And making you question
your own sanity.
77
00:05:44,410 --> 00:05:49,048
>> Ashley: Yeah, it seemed like
that's how it was at the time.
78
00:05:49,115 --> 00:05:52,719
>> Tucker: And now all of
a sudden, here you are and
79
00:05:52,785 --> 00:05:56,322
I'm not this violent monster and
you're the one acting extreme.

than never.

what a load of bull.
>> Ashley: What?

00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:07,333
>> Tucker: You've been playing
me this whole time, haven't you?
84
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,137
With this endless drama and now
all of a sudden here you are so,
85
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:15,641
so cool and in control.
As if it were just a--
86
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:21,114
a little misunderstanding.
What the hell's going
87
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:26,652
on with you, Ashley?
>> Audra: My neck's
88
00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:29,055
getting stiff.
Have a seat, why don't you?
89
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,758
>> Nate: I'd rather avoid
running into Tucker.
90
00:06:31,824 --> 00:06:35,094
>> Audra: Hm.
He's upstairs making calls.
91
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:38,531
I imagine he's gonna be a while.
Sit.

>> Nate: You seem...
>> Audra: Happy?
93
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:55,982
Maybe because I am.
>> Nate: Because of Tucker?
94
00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:59,685
>> Audra: You don't believe me?
>> Nate: Well, considering
95
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:02,288
how many times I've heard
the frustration in your voice,
96
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:05,758
your talks of using him,
turning the tables?
97
00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:09,796
>> Audra: Okay, and?
>> Nate: Are you really that
98
00:07:09,862 --> 00:07:12,999
cold and calculating, Audra?
>> Audra: Hm...
99
00:07:13,065 --> 00:07:18,304
What do your instincts say?
>> Nate: That underneath
100
00:07:18,371 --> 00:07:24,010
all that scheming
and naked ambition,
101
00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:27,380
lies a warm-hearted,
vulnerable woman who just
102
00:07:27,446 --> 00:07:31,951
wants what we all want.
To love and be loved
103
00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:36,489
back by someone she knows in her
heart won't hurt her.
104
00:07:36,556 --> 00:07:38,624
>> Audra: That's very sweet
of you.
105
00:07:38,691 --> 00:07:42,195
And not far off the mark.
>> Nate: So, I'm completely
106
00:07:42,261 --> 00:07:46,265
baffled you'd go looking
for that with McCall.
107
00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:50,603
He will let you down, Audra.
He is a user.
108
00:07:50,670 --> 00:07:53,172
>> Audra: People change.
>> Nate: No, they don't.
109
00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:57,043
Not really.
Unless it serves them somehow.
110
00:07:57,109 --> 00:08:01,147
>> Audra: Well, he's not
using me, and I'm not using him,
111
00:08:01,214 --> 00:08:06,285
and I must say, it's lovely.
>> Nate: Such a brilliant woman,
112
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:08,621
and yet...
>> Audra: Look, I know it's
113
00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:13,993
a lot to ask, but could you be
just a little bit happy for me?
114
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:20,499
My eyes are wide open.
Tucker and I are in love.
115
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:23,402
And it's the real thing.
>> Nate: And you believe
116
00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:26,439
it is reciprocated?
>> Audra: I know it is.
117
00:08:26,505 --> 00:08:30,443
We're two of a kind,
totally in sync.
118
00:08:30,509 --> 00:08:35,915
And it's not just power,
it's not just work.
119
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:40,953
It's everything
I've ever wanted and more.
120
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:46,826
>> Nate: Wow.
I am fond of you, Audra.
121
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:49,962
Really, I am.
And I'd hate to see you
122
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,765
get hurt,
but anyone who lets down
123
00:08:52,832 --> 00:08:55,601
their guard with Tucker
lives to regret it.
124
00:08:55,668 --> 00:08:59,906
Just ask Devon, or Ashley,
or-- or anyone else who's
125
00:08:59,972 --> 00:09:03,109
had dealings with him.
If you let yourself
126
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:06,579
get in deep with this guy
knowing what you know,
127
00:09:06,646 --> 00:09:09,782
then you're a fool.
>> Audra: So then,
128
00:09:09,849 --> 00:09:12,485
not happy for me.
Got it.
129
00:09:12,551 --> 00:09:16,689
>> Nate: Hear me when I say,
this is going to end badly.
130
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:19,792
You will not be the exception
that proves the rule.
131
00:09:19,859 --> 00:09:23,462
You'll just be
Tucker McCall's latest casualty.
132
00:09:23,529 --> 00:09:26,599
Do you
really want that for yourself?
133
00:09:26,666 --> 00:09:30,269
>> Audra: You know,
you are wrong.
134
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:36,842
Things are different this time.
This is gonna work.
135
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:46,419
Count on it.
>> Sally: So, how was your day?
136
00:09:46,485 --> 00:09:51,724
>> Adam: Ah, it was good,
for the most part.
137
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:55,995
>> Sally: What was
the not-so-good part?
138
00:09:56,062 --> 00:10:00,232
>> Adam: I'm kind of wishing
that I, um, I hadn't told you
139
00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:03,302
that there was news.
>> Sally: Really?
140
00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:05,204
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
>> Sally: Why?
141
00:10:05,271 --> 00:10:07,573
>> Adam: Because the surprise
that I had planned for you,
142
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:14,780
uh, hit a little speed bump.
>> Seth: I'm not going
143
00:10:14,847 --> 00:10:17,116
to lie to you, Nikki.
I was in a really bad way
144
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:19,952
when I called you.
>> Nikki: I'm sorry
145
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:22,455
to hear that.
>> Seth: You were on my mind,
146
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:24,724
so I thought I'd take a chance.
I thought maybe talking
147
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:27,927
to you, I don't know,
would help me snap out of it.
148
00:10:27,994 --> 00:10:31,063
>> Nikki: Well, as I said on
the phone, I-- I can't be
149
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:34,567
your support system.
My situation is too precarious.
150
00:10:34,633 --> 00:10:38,237
>> Seth: Yeah, understood.
You know, maybe I just needed to
151
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:41,540
hear you say that, you know, you
don't blame me for failing you.
152
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:45,644
>> Nikki: You didn't fail me.
It was my decision
153
00:10:45,711 --> 00:10:49,615
to take a drink.
You had no control over that.
154
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:53,219
We can't think of the weakness
that this disease causes
155
00:10:53,285 --> 00:10:56,789
as a personal failing.
>> Seth: Yeah, I know.
156
00:10:56,856 --> 00:11:00,226
I know. You-- you're right.
>> Nikki: You stumbled.
157
00:11:00,292 --> 00:11:03,195
You fell.
But you reached out.
158
00:11:03,262 --> 00:11:05,297
You were strong enough
to ask for help
159
00:11:05,364 --> 00:11:09,769
and that's a positive step.
>> Seth: Yeah, thanks to
160
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:12,171
a friend, you know, someone else
who wants to get sober.
161
00:11:12,238 --> 00:11:14,907
>> Nikki: Oh, really?
Who's that?
162
00:11:26,018 --> 00:11:28,354
>> Seth: I-- I promised that
I wouldn't bring her up to you.
163
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:33,459
>> Nikki: Oh, so it's a woman.
>> Seth: Can-- can we just
164
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,962
forget that I said anything?
>> Nikki: Well, I don't mean to
165
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:41,100
put you in an awkward position,
but I would like to know who
166
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:44,203
suggested you contact me.
>> Seth: It's no one you know.
167
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:46,672
You know, not well, anyway.
It's just someone from meetings
168
00:11:46,739 --> 00:11:50,076
who was surprised to hear that
I'm not your sponsor anymore.
169
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:54,513
>> Nikki: And does this
someone have a name?
170
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:57,249
>> Seth: She just wants
to be anonymous, okay?
171
00:11:57,316 --> 00:12:01,120
And I have to honor her wishes.
You can appreciate that,
172
00:12:01,187 --> 00:12:05,658
can't you?
>> Sally: So,
173
00:12:05,724 --> 00:12:08,761
is this a little bump?
Or...
174
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:12,965
>> Adam: Well, I'm sure that
I can work things out, but,
175
00:12:13,032 --> 00:12:17,403
you know, maybe I should hold
off on telling you until then.
176
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:20,306
>> Sally: Oh.
>> Adam: I can see
177
00:12:20,372 --> 00:12:22,741
you're disappointed.
>> Sally: No, it-- it--
178
00:12:22,808 --> 00:12:26,846
I mean, maybe like
a little "oh, well"-ish.
179
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:30,649
No, disappointed is reserved for
when I think about my career.
180
00:12:30,716 --> 00:12:34,320
>> Adam: Because the initial
flurry of work
181
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:37,189
hasn't led to more?
>> Sally: Yeah.
182
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:40,025
Chloe and I met and bounced
around ideas on how to keep
183
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:42,995
the company afloat, but,
I don't know, maybe
184
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:46,332
Sally Spectra Design is gonna
have to do something bigger.
185
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:50,736
Maybe going to pitch to
Chancellor-Winters again.
186
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:53,272
>> Adam: Okay, but hasn't
Chancellor-Winters already had
187
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:56,442
someone to do their design work?
>> Sally: Yes, but this time
188
00:12:56,509 --> 00:13:00,412
we would be going to them
with an even bigger proposition.
189
00:13:00,479 --> 00:13:03,582
Asking them to be
a financial backer.
190
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:06,051
To take us on to the company
and create a division.
191
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:10,890
>> Adam: Okay, don't do that.
>> Sally: Why?
192
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:12,758
>> Adam: Just--
>> Sally: Do you not think
193
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:15,394
that we can make a deal? Do you
not have confidence in us?
194
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:18,030
>> Adam: No,
it's just the opposite, okay?
195
00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:21,233
I have infinite confidence
in you and Chloe.
196
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,670
I just-- I don't want
you going to Chancellor-Winters.
197
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:28,007
>> Sally: I don't understand.
What's going on?
198
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:32,244
Do you know something
that I don't know?
199
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:36,515
>> Victor: Well, hello.
>> Sally: Oh.
200
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:38,551
>> Adam: Hey.
>> Sally: Hi. You look well.
201
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,519
>> Victor: Hi, Sally.
Thank you.
202
00:13:40,586 --> 00:13:43,756
Son, I need the deal memo you're
working on by noon tomorrow,
203
00:13:43,822 --> 00:13:47,059
all right?
>> Adam: A day early.
204
00:13:47,126 --> 00:13:53,165
>> Victor: There a problem?
>> Adam: No. No, that's doable.
205
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:55,901
>> Victor: What about the
redline on the
206
00:13:55,968 --> 00:13:58,571
Franklin contract?
>> Adam: Uh, it's not
207
00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:01,240
back from legal yet.
>> Victor: Well then,
208
00:14:01,307 --> 00:14:04,443
light a fire, all right?
It's time-sensitive. I need it.
209
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,046
>> Adam: Got it.
>> Victor: Okay. Thank you.
210
00:14:07,112 --> 00:14:09,048
>> Adam: Anything else?
>> Victor: No, thank you.
211
00:14:09,114 --> 00:14:13,919
Nice to see you.
>> Sally: Nice to see you.
212
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:18,257
>> Victor: Let me have a double
shot of tequila, please.
213
00:14:18,324 --> 00:14:22,561
Thank you.
>> Sally: I thought you and your
214
00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:27,733
father were getting along.
Did something happen?
215
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:34,073
>> Audra: I'm not gonna argue
with you about Tucker.
216
00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:37,376
We're building
something incredible, okay?
217
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:40,512
Something lasting.
And I am confident with
218
00:14:40,579 --> 00:14:42,281
my choice.
Look, I don't expect
219
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:45,451
you or anyone else to understand
what he and I have together.
220
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:47,820
>> Nate: He is a psychologically
abusive narcissist
221
00:14:47,886 --> 00:14:50,856
who steamrolls over anyone
who gets in his way.
222
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:54,026
You used to be able to see that.
Now, you have complete trust
223
00:14:54,093 --> 00:14:57,596
in him.
What did Tucker promise you
224
00:14:57,663 --> 00:15:00,733
to lure you back into his orbit?
Are you really
225
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:08,407
that easily bought?
>> Audra: I am very
226
00:15:08,474 --> 00:15:15,948
close to slapping you.
>> Ashley: I had an awakening.
227
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:21,120
I did. I really did. I mean it.
Everything you said
228
00:15:21,186 --> 00:15:25,824
about me is true.
I have a fear of commitment.
229
00:15:25,891 --> 00:15:30,396
And I have a hard time trusting
people, specifically men.
230
00:15:30,462 --> 00:15:34,700
So, I exaggerated things
and made you the villain
231
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:37,136
in my story.
Not to say that you're
232
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:39,438
blameless in what happened.
>> Tucker: I know that I'm
233
00:15:39,505 --> 00:15:41,273
not blameless, Ashley.
I've always accepted
234
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:43,575
my role in what happened.
>> Ashley: And it wasn't as
235
00:15:43,642 --> 00:15:46,578
intense as I made it out to be.
There was no broken glass,
236
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:50,582
no thrown chair.
It was upsetting,
237
00:15:50,649 --> 00:15:54,119
but never violent.
>> Tucker: And why now?
238
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:57,356
Why tell me this?
Why break into my room
239
00:15:57,423 --> 00:16:00,592
now to tell me this?
>> Ashley: I really want
240
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:04,763
to let go of the past.
I'm desperate to be free of all
241
00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:10,336
this rage and this confusion.
>> Tucker: It's starting to make
242
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:14,573
a little more sense to me now.
I think you're forcing
243
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,144
yourself to say all this, right?
Because it's the cleanest way to
244
00:16:19,211 --> 00:16:24,717
make the break from me.
It's a clever tactic.
245
00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:25,784
There's just one hitch.
246
00:16:34,727 --> 00:16:36,829
>> Ashley: You asked me why I
came to see you and I told you.
247
00:16:36,895 --> 00:16:38,964
>> Tucker: Except that
it's a lie.
248
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:42,768
You don't believe any of it.
Which is why it won't last.
249
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,204
>> Ashley: I see.
>> Tucker: These strong
250
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:48,006
emotions you mentioned.
Maybe they'll subside for
251
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:50,743
a minute, but they're
not gonna go anywhere.
252
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:52,745
They're gonna fester and
burn inside you, and then you're
253
00:16:52,811 --> 00:16:54,713
gonna have to let them out.
And you're gonna hate me.
254
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:56,315
>> Ashley: No, no--
>> Tucker: Yes, you're gonna
255
00:16:56,382 --> 00:16:58,250
hate me, and you're going to
blame me for something else.
256
00:16:58,317 --> 00:16:59,885
And around and around
and around we'll go.
257
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:01,587
>> Ashley: I do not agree
with that.
258
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:06,125
I had an epiphany.
Because of a fender bender.
259
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:09,228
>> Tucker: What?
>> Ashley: I know. It's true.
260
00:17:09,294 --> 00:17:11,764
>> Tucker: You all right?
>> Ashley: Yeah, physically.
261
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:17,836
And mentally.
I had this clarity wash over me
262
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:21,473
and I realized that all the rage
and confusion that I was blaming
263
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,777
you for was actually my fault.
So, I made-- You remember
264
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:27,212
how conflicted I was
about marrying you.
265
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,815
I was in no place at all to
make a commitment to you
266
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,784
because I didn't trust you.
>> Tucker: Ashley.
267
00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:33,419
Ashley, please.
>> Ashley: It's the truth.
268
00:17:33,485 --> 00:17:34,787
>> Tucker: Please stop.
Would you just--
269
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:36,255
>> Ashley: What?
>> Tucker: Would you
270
00:17:36,321 --> 00:17:38,290
please cut this crap out?
>> Ashley: What crap?
271
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,859
>> Tucker: The animosity
you have shown me lately,
272
00:17:40,926 --> 00:17:44,329
it doesn't just vanish.
You're doing one of two things:
273
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:48,100
you're either brainwashing
yourself, like I said, or you're
274
00:17:48,167 --> 00:17:52,137
setting me up for something.
Either way,
275
00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:55,974
this conversation is over.
Get the hell out of my room.
276
00:17:59,077 --> 00:18:02,014
>> Nate: Go ahead and slap me if
it'll make you feel better,
277
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,517
but it won't change my mind.
If you let yourself get in
278
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,287
deep with this guy--
>> Audra: Why do you care,
279
00:18:08,353 --> 00:18:11,623
one way or the other?
>> Nate: Because I thought
280
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:14,960
we were friends.
>> Audra: Hm.
281
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:18,363
>> Nate: Was I wrong, Audra?
Or were you using me
282
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:24,169
to goad Tucker?
Or as a fallback plan? Or both?
283
00:18:24,236 --> 00:18:26,538
>> Audra: Don't
flatter yourself.
284
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,674
>> Nate: Let's hope
I'm wrong for your sake and
285
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:30,909
you get everything you
want out of this deal.
286
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:34,746
Silver lining, you're no longer
planning to take Tucker down.
287
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:37,783
I never thought that
was a workable plan.
288
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:41,019
But you've traded one risk
for another.
289
00:18:41,086 --> 00:18:46,992
>> Audra: Yes, you've
made your opinion clear.
290
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:49,795
>> Nate: I only want what's
best for you, Audra.
291
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:53,532
And I mean that.
But I don't see how
292
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:58,203
this ends without you
getting your heart broken.
293
00:18:58,270 --> 00:19:03,442
>> Audra: That's the difference
between you and me, Nate.
294
00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:07,546
You've been burned before,
and it's made you weary.
295
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:12,651
I've been burned,
and it's made me fearless.
296
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:22,461
>> Adam: I asked my dad to
revisit the idea of giving you
297
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:25,330
a design division under
the Newman umbrella.
298
00:19:25,397 --> 00:19:28,333
>> Sally: That's your
big surprise?
299
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,537
Why would you do that?
>> Adam: Because it's
300
00:19:31,603 --> 00:19:35,707
a smart business move, okay?
Even Nick agrees with that.
301
00:19:35,774 --> 00:19:39,144
>> Sally: You talked to Nick
about this before asking me?
302
00:19:39,211 --> 00:19:43,515
Adam, what if this isn't
something that I want?
303
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:50,589
>> Nikki: I can see how
important it is for you to not
304
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:54,826
betray this woman's trust.
I value privacy too,
305
00:19:54,893 --> 00:19:59,331
so I will respect that.
>> Seth: All right.
306
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:02,868
Yeah.
You know, she gave me a lot
307
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:05,470
of great advice too.
I was telling her how bad
308
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:09,274
I messed up by trying to be
her sponsor when I was kind
309
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:13,612
of teetering on the edge myself.
>> Nikki: And what did she say?
310
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:16,582
>> Seth: She told me that
I shouldn't assume that
311
00:20:16,648 --> 00:20:20,385
you hate me or blame me
for what happened.
312
00:20:20,452 --> 00:20:22,554
That I should give you credit,
you know,
313
00:20:22,621 --> 00:20:25,390
for-- for being compassionate.
>> Nikki: And that's when
314
00:20:25,457 --> 00:20:27,726
she urged you to contact me?
>> Seth: Yeah, exactly.
315
00:20:27,793 --> 00:20:29,661
And I'm so glad I did
because I feel so much
316
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,364
better now that we talked.
>> Nikki: Okay, again,
317
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:36,201
I can't be your support system.
Not at this stage
318
00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:39,071
of my recovery.
>> Seth: I 100% understand that,
319
00:20:39,137 --> 00:20:42,874
Nikki.
>> Nikki: Okay, good.
320
00:20:42,941 --> 00:20:45,978
>> Seth: You know, maybe--
maybe we can
321
00:20:46,044 --> 00:20:48,046
at least be friends again.
322
00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:58,991
>> Seth: See, the thing is,
I've been drinking out of
323
00:20:59,057 --> 00:21:03,128
guilt and shame.
Feeling so horrible about
324
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:05,163
just falling apart and
leaving you in the lurch
325
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:07,165
when you needed me the most.
>> Nikki: No, no, no,
326
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:10,268
you mustn't think that way.
That's too much responsibility
327
00:21:10,335 --> 00:21:12,938
for me.
You were the one who
328
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:15,540
decided to drink again.
I had nothing to do with it.
329
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:17,676
>> Seth: Yeah,
that's-- that's true.
330
00:21:17,743 --> 00:21:20,479
>> Nikki: Although, I can see
why you might have thought
331
00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:26,018
you would harm me somehow.
I mean, I felt it was my fault
332
00:21:26,084 --> 00:21:29,421
when you stumbled because you
watched me fail over and over.
333
00:21:29,488 --> 00:21:32,357
>> Seth: I mean, whatever it
is that triggered me to fall
334
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:36,294
back in the puddle again, it was
absolutely not your doing.
335
00:21:36,361 --> 00:21:39,331
>> Nikki: Well,
I appreciate you saying that.
336
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:44,703
Now, as far as this idea
of remaining friends while
337
00:21:44,770 --> 00:21:48,740
we're still struggling,
I don't know if that would
338
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:52,477
be good for either of us.
I mean, most likely we would
339
00:21:52,544 --> 00:21:55,313
end up being drinking
buddies instead of actual
340
00:21:55,380 --> 00:21:58,016
friends, don't you agree?
>> Seth: Well, look,
341
00:21:58,083 --> 00:22:01,319
you know, it-- it depends
what we're drinking, right?
342
00:22:01,386 --> 00:22:06,158
>> Nikki: Well, today it's
coffee, but tomorrow, who knows?
343
00:22:06,224 --> 00:22:10,028
>> Seth: Yeah, who knows?
One day at a time, Nikki, right?
344
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:15,634
As far as what it'll do for me,
I mean, I plan on making amends.
345
00:22:15,701 --> 00:22:17,836
>> Nikki: While you're
still drinking?
346
00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:20,772
>> Seth: You know, I mean,
you gotta start somewhere.
347
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:25,077
>> Nikki: Seth, please hear
what I'm saying.
348
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:29,948
I'm fighting my own battle.
I feel for you, I really do.
349
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:33,151
But I don't know that us
being in touch right now
350
00:22:33,218 --> 00:22:35,821
is a good idea.
>> Seth: Oh.
351
00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:37,856
Well, then why-- why did I--
I mean, this is--
352
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:41,126
>> Nikki: I know, I know,
I agreed to meet you today,
353
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:44,429
but that's not to say
we should make a habit of it.
354
00:22:44,496 --> 00:22:47,365
>> Seth: Okay, fair enough.
I won't push.
355
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:50,202
You need to do whatever's right
for you.
356
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:54,539
>> Nikki: The most important
thing is that you get rid of any
357
00:22:54,606 --> 00:22:57,843
guilt where I am concerned.
That's in the past.
358
00:22:57,909 --> 00:23:02,414
You need to move forward.
Get a real sponsor
359
00:23:02,481 --> 00:23:04,750
and keep it going.
>> Seth: Yeah, that's-- that's
360
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:07,219
exactly what I plan on doing,
you know?
361
00:23:07,285 --> 00:23:09,354
And it's what I need from you,
just a little bit of
362
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,723
forgiveness, so I can move
past all these bad feelings I've
363
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:13,992
been holding onto and-- and,
you know, start fresh.
364
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:17,763
>> Nikki: Seth, you need
to forgive yourself, okay?
365
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:21,533
You need to get to a meeting
tonight, if at all possible.
366
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,370
If you are truly serious
about getting sober again,
367
00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:29,674
do 90 meetings in 90 days.
>> Seth: Yes, those are
368
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:34,713
both great ideas and I-- I swear
I'm gonna go as often as I can.
369
00:23:34,780 --> 00:23:37,282
>> Nikki: Okay, good.
>> Seth: It's just, you know
370
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:41,086
if only to show you that
I-- I can pull myself together.
371
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,455
You know, that's-- that's
gonna be the ray of hope
372
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:50,095
that's gonna see me through.
>> Nikki: Well, I'll admit
373
00:23:50,162 --> 00:23:56,168
I do miss our conversations.
>> Seth: Yeah? Me too.
374
00:23:56,234 --> 00:24:00,505
I don't know, some--
Maybe a cup of coffee
375
00:24:00,572 --> 00:24:10,115
once in a while between friends?
>> Nikki: Okay, I'd like that.
376
00:24:15,854 --> 00:24:18,957
>> Ashley: Hopefully, I'll
be able to convince you someday.
377
00:24:19,024 --> 00:24:22,127
>> Tucker: Convince me of what?
I mean, what the hell
378
00:24:22,194 --> 00:24:24,763
difference does it make?
What is it you're after, please?
379
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:28,166
>> Ashley: I think you know.
>> Tucker: I have no idea,
380
00:24:28,233 --> 00:24:32,337
I'm telling you.
I have no idea what this new
381
00:24:32,404 --> 00:24:34,773
bizarre game you're playing is.
>> Ashley: I'm not playing
382
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,642
a game.
I just want peace.
383
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:40,312
>> Tucker: Yeah, you want peace.
That makes sense.
384
00:24:40,378 --> 00:24:45,317
So, you broke into my room
and ambushed me, for peace.
385
00:24:45,383 --> 00:24:47,586
>> Ashley: I really hate
what we've been putting
386
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:52,023
each other through.
And I hate that what we had,
387
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:57,662
which was magnificent,
I hate how that ended
388
00:24:57,729 --> 00:25:00,999
so abruptly.
And I hate how I felt
389
00:25:01,066 --> 00:25:02,801
when you left me alone
in that cafe in Paris.
390
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:05,837
Everybody staring at me,
feeling sorry for me.
391
00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:08,940
It was so incredibly humiliating
and overwhelming and
392
00:25:09,007 --> 00:25:10,675
I don't want to ever
feel that way again.
393
00:25:10,742 --> 00:25:12,711
I don't want to feel that
kind of pain and anger.
394
00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:18,450
I just don't anymore.
So, maybe we can see
395
00:25:18,516 --> 00:25:21,786
where things go.
Is that so terrible?
396
00:25:24,556 --> 00:25:28,760
Why don't you think about it?
And then, you know,
397
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:33,932
maybe we can talk sometime soon.
Okay?
398
00:25:33,999 --> 00:25:38,937
>> Tucker: Okay.
>> Ashley: Bye.
399
00:25:39,004 --> 00:25:42,240
Au revoir.
>> Tucker: Bye, Ashley.
400
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:49,014
>> Nate: I believe
you've mistaken recklessness
401
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,417
for fearlessness.
But I guess it'll take
402
00:25:52,484 --> 00:25:55,287
getting burned again
for you to learn the difference.
403
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:59,424
I hope, for your sake,
you do this time.
404
00:26:03,561 --> 00:26:04,562
Can I get an Old Fashioned?
405
00:26:13,805 --> 00:26:14,806
>> Ashley: Let's get something
straight.
406
00:26:23,048 --> 00:26:26,851
Audra: Hello,
Ashley. >> Ashley: Did you hear
what I said?
407
00:26:26,918 --> 00:26:30,855
>> Audra: You said you wanted to
talk about something?
408
00:26:30,922 --> 00:26:33,258
>> Ashley: I'll talk.
You listen.
409
00:26:33,325 --> 00:26:35,560
>> Audra: Okay.
Um, I'm not sure what
410
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:37,796
we have to discuss.
>> Ashley: Well, this thing that
411
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:39,164
you've got going on with Tucker,
it's not gonna last.
412
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:41,900
And I don't want to hurt
your feelings, but frankly,
413
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:45,236
he's out of your league.
>> Audra: Aw.
414
00:26:45,303 --> 00:26:47,272
You know,
that sounds like something,
415
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:49,474
um, a woman who's still in
love with him would say.
416
00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:51,142
>> Ashley: Does it?
>> Audra: Yeah.
417
00:26:51,209 --> 00:26:54,679
Not to mention a little
jealous and insecure.
418
00:26:54,746 --> 00:26:56,715
>> Ashley: You don't
know the first thing
419
00:26:56,781 --> 00:26:59,751
about me, little girl,
but if you want to psychoanalyze
420
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:02,620
me, then you go ahead.
>> Audra: So, we're
421
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:07,559
insulting each other now?
Okay, lady. It's your party.
422
00:27:07,625 --> 00:27:10,028
>> Ashley: You're so cocky,
aren't you?
423
00:27:10,095 --> 00:27:14,165
So self-confident.
At least on the outside.
424
00:27:14,232 --> 00:27:16,735
But while you're busy convincing
yourself that Tucker belongs to
425
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:20,538
you, this dynamic is changing.
>> Audra: What dynamic?
426
00:27:20,605 --> 00:27:26,411
What does that mean, exactly?
>> Ashley: You'll see.
427
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:30,915
Hi.
>> Tucker: And what are we
428
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:32,484
up to now?
>> Ashley: Not much.
429
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:34,085
Just catching up with
your assistant.
430
00:27:34,152 --> 00:27:43,261
I'll see you later.
>> Adam: Yes, I talked to Nick.
431
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:45,397
I mean, can you imagine
the blowback if I tried to pitch
432
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:47,766
this to our dad behind his back?
>> Sally: But you didn't think
433
00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:50,101
that there would be any from me?
>> Adam: Sally, look.
434
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:53,471
I was trying to be honest.
And above board.
435
00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:55,540
Something I thought
people would appreciate.
436
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:58,176
But apparently,
you and my brother have
437
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:00,645
a problem with my methods.
>> Sally: No, what I have
438
00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:03,648
a problem with is you coming
to me after the fact.
439
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:06,251
>> Adam: Okay, look.
I-- I understand why
440
00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:09,054
you feel I overstepped.
>> Sally: You absolutely did.
441
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,790
Look, what-- what made you
even do this in the first place?
442
00:28:11,856 --> 00:28:15,894
>> Adam: Okay, first of all,
it's great business for Newman.
443
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,432
And second, it would
be great for you, too.
444
00:28:20,498 --> 00:28:23,401
>> Sally: Based on what?
>> Adam: Sally, you just
445
00:28:23,468 --> 00:28:25,437
told me that your business
hit a plateau already.
446
00:28:25,503 --> 00:28:27,639
You're worried about finances
enough that you're
447
00:28:27,705 --> 00:28:29,808
thinking of going to
Chancellor-Winter's hat in hand,
448
00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:32,544
asking for an infusion of cash.
Wouldn't you rather
449
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:35,146
come to Newman and work
more closely with me?
450
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:39,084
>> Sally: Axing Nick out
of my work situation completely?
451
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:41,719
>> Adam: Since the two of you
broke up, you haven't felt
452
00:28:41,786 --> 00:28:44,622
all that comfortable with having
him as a sole backer.
453
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:47,092
Wouldn't this help you
feel less guilty about that?
454
00:28:47,158 --> 00:28:49,994
>> Sally: Why would it?
>> Adam: I'm guessing that
455
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,764
Newman would buy him out.
He would get his
456
00:28:52,831 --> 00:28:55,166
investment back.
You would be off the hook
457
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:57,135
for owing him anything.
It would be a lot cleaner
458
00:28:57,202 --> 00:28:59,003
that way.
>> Sally: Adam, that's
459
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:02,907
still my decision to make.
And-- and what-- what
460
00:29:02,974 --> 00:29:06,678
exactly were you thinking,
us working closer together?
461
00:29:06,744 --> 00:29:08,413
I mean, would you be
my boss or--
462
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,584
>> Adam: What? No. No way.
>> Sally: Okay,
463
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:14,586
then what would it be?
>> Adam: Okay, well,
464
00:29:14,652 --> 00:29:18,723
Newman would strictly be
the money for your enterprise.
465
00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:20,959
I'm not gonna be looking
over your shoulder.
466
00:29:21,025 --> 00:29:23,495
I'm not gonna be second-guessing
your design or your
467
00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:26,598
business decisions.
Of course, you can always come
468
00:29:26,664 --> 00:29:29,467
to me for any kind of advice.
That is a given.
469
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:33,505
But I trust you
to run your own shop.
470
00:29:33,571 --> 00:29:37,075
That's why I support
your vision.
471
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:39,410
>> Sally: You're saying
all the right things.
472
00:29:39,477 --> 00:29:41,613
That's exactly what you do when
you're backed into a corner.
473
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:43,047
>> Adam: Come on.
>> Sally: No, Adam.
474
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:44,516
>> Adam: Sally.
>> Sally: Adam,
475
00:29:44,582 --> 00:29:46,451
I'm not sold on this.
I'm not. At all.
476
00:29:46,518 --> 00:29:48,753
>> Adam: What can I say to
you to convince you that
477
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:53,558
this is a great idea?
>> Sally: Victor teased me with
478
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:57,228
the possibility of handing me my
own division, and then reneged
479
00:29:57,295 --> 00:30:01,366
after he knew very well that
we walked away from a steady gig
480
00:30:01,432 --> 00:30:04,736
at Chancellor-Winters.
I always assumed it was personal
481
00:30:04,802 --> 00:30:08,873
and intentional to screw me over
and-- and put me in my place,
482
00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:10,909
so what is stopping him
from doing that again?
483
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:12,777
>> Adam: Do you know
what's going to stop him
484
00:30:12,844 --> 00:30:15,079
from doing that again?
Me.
485
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:18,183
>> Sally: Look, Adam,
I appreciate you wanting to
486
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:22,921
protect me.
But how can you be successful
487
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:26,257
with Victor running the show?
I'm assuming that's the speed
488
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,359
bump that you hit earlier,
right?
489
00:30:28,426 --> 00:30:30,395
Victor turning you down
flat because he doesn't
490
00:30:30,461 --> 00:30:34,232
want me on his payroll.
Not now or ever.
491
00:30:34,299 --> 00:30:38,436
>> Adam: Look, this will
be an actual offer, okay?
492
00:30:38,503 --> 00:30:41,573
On paper.
No more of this verbal agreement
493
00:30:41,639 --> 00:30:44,809
stuff or leaving you in limbo.
I will have protections put
494
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:49,080
in place for you, I swear.
And Nick will too.
495
00:30:49,147 --> 00:30:51,883
In case I wasn't clear,
Nick is very much a fan of
496
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:55,453
this plan moving forward.
>> Sally: Honestly,
497
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,822
that's another issue altogether.
I-- I just-- No, I'm
498
00:30:57,889 --> 00:31:02,627
not-- I'm not convinced.
Look, the point is, Adam,
499
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:06,731
you made a career choice for me
without giving me the courtesy
500
00:31:06,798 --> 00:31:13,338
of coming to me about it first.
This is my business, Adam.
501
00:31:13,404 --> 00:31:14,405
My future.
502
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:30,822
>> Adam: Look, I-- I went about
this the wrong way. Obviously.
503
00:31:30,888 --> 00:31:34,859
But my motives were pure.
And I believe that this
504
00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:38,162
is a smart move for
Newman and for you.
505
00:31:38,229 --> 00:31:41,566
It's definitely better than you
going someplace else long-term.
506
00:31:41,633 --> 00:31:45,370
When Victor made that handshake
offer with you, you were willing
507
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:47,605
to ditch Chancellor-Winters.
Shouldn't that tell you
508
00:31:47,672 --> 00:31:50,208
something?
And I'm willing to bet if
509
00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:51,976
they actually gave you
the money, they would
510
00:31:52,043 --> 00:31:56,247
definitely not be hands-off.
>> Sally: Well, you just
511
00:31:56,314 --> 00:32:00,118
have my whole future mapped
out for me, don't you?
512
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:06,424
Once again, you know best.
>> Adam: Will you--
513
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:11,963
Will you give it some thought?
And then we'll talk?
514
00:32:12,030 --> 00:32:14,365
Once you've had some time to
think it over, I think that you
515
00:32:14,432 --> 00:32:18,703
will see that this makes sense.
>> Sally: Not if Victor
516
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:21,105
doesn't think it does.
>> Adam: He hasn't nixed
517
00:32:21,172 --> 00:32:23,741
the idea.
Just says he needs to think
518
00:32:23,808 --> 00:32:26,811
about it more and needs a little
more time to consider it.
519
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:30,815
Look, can we just let
this play out?
520
00:32:30,882 --> 00:32:40,825
Try to keep an open mind?
>> Victor: There's
521
00:32:40,892 --> 00:32:43,127
my sweetheart.
>> Nikki: Hi, darling.
522
00:32:43,194 --> 00:32:49,967
That didn't take very long.
>> Victor: So-- Well, I wrapped
523
00:32:50,034 --> 00:32:53,504
up a few things that I
had to deal with
524
00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:57,475
and then I came straight home.
How did things go with
525
00:32:57,542 --> 00:33:00,445
that Seth fellow?
>> Nikki: Ah, he just left.
526
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:03,348
I-- I think it went well.
>> Victor: Glad to hear that.
527
00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:06,150
>> Nikki: He's really been
struggling, so I think it helped
528
00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:09,987
for him to talk to somebody.
>> Victor: Well, always helps
529
00:33:10,054 --> 00:33:13,691
to talk to people when
things are troubling you.
530
00:33:13,758 --> 00:33:17,328
>> Nikki: Yeah, I-- I think
I gave him some hope.
531
00:33:17,395 --> 00:33:22,467
By the time he left, I felt that
I had done some good for him.
532
00:33:22,533 --> 00:33:24,669
At least I pointed him in
the right direction.
533
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:26,738
>> Victor: Well, at least
you feel you accomplished
534
00:33:26,804 --> 00:33:29,574
something, you know?
>> Nikki: Yeah, well, after
535
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,710
all the help I've needed lately,
it felt good to be on
536
00:33:32,777 --> 00:33:37,882
the giving end for a change.
>> Victor: You know, I can sense
537
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:41,619
that you're coming around now.
Feeling good about yourself,
538
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:46,391
I think, is the most important
thing for your recovery.
539
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:20,091
[ phone chiming ]
>> Tucker: Hey, I hope I didn't
540
00:34:20,158 --> 00:34:27,465
[ phone chiming ]
>> Tucker: Hey, I hope I didn't
541
00:34:27,532 --> 00:34:30,668
keep you waiting too long.
>> Audra: I managed
542
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:38,075
to entertain myself.
>> Tucker: That dude does
543
00:34:38,142 --> 00:34:40,611
not like seeing us together.
>> Audra: Well,
544
00:34:40,678 --> 00:34:43,448
that's too bad for him.
Although, I'm much more
545
00:34:43,514 --> 00:34:46,517
interested in what's
going on with Ashley.
546
00:34:46,584 --> 00:34:49,086
>> Tucker: Yes, I could ask
you the same question.
547
00:34:49,153 --> 00:34:51,556
>> Audra: What did she
say to you over there?
548
00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:55,259
>> Tucker: Uh, that you and
she were having a chat.
549
00:34:55,326 --> 00:34:58,629
>> Audra: A chat.
>> Tucker: What about?
550
00:34:58,696 --> 00:35:04,068
>> Audra: On my end, nothing.
Although, Ashley confronted me
551
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:07,672
like a jealous lover
warning me off her turf.
552
00:35:07,738 --> 00:35:10,174
You know, when a day ago
she supposedly couldn't
553
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:14,846
stand the sight of you.
So, what's up with that?
554
00:35:14,912 --> 00:35:20,585
>> Tucker: No clue.
I'm as, uh, I'm as
555
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:24,155
confused by it as you are.
>> Audra: Well, it had to
556
00:35:24,222 --> 00:35:29,827
come from somewhere.
Did you run into her earlier?
557
00:35:29,894 --> 00:35:32,630
Did she say something
to you then?
558
00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:35,900
>> Tucker: No, this is the first
time I've seen her this evening.
559
00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:07,532
