I think you can safely chalk
that up to the price

of the newest acquisition.

I know that's not the timeline
you were hoping for,

strongly that it will be
7
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:18,518

Now, in the past, you would have
given me a much tougher time

for a report like that.

I was sugarcoating it.

Our phone would have been
ringing off the hook,

to feature some cousin's

167
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:47,159
I'll get over it.

And when I do, I have to admit,
it's actually not

00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:16,022
>> Victor: Is your investment
in that much trouble, or...
176
00:09:16,088 --> 00:09:17,890
>> Nick: Yeah, Dad, I've got
some money there,
177
00:09:17,957 --> 00:09:19,325
but that's not my concern.
178
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:21,527
In fact, I would have
invested more if I could.
179
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:25,464
I believe that much
in her talent.
180
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:27,166
>> Victor: But you know,
of course,
181
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:30,836
if Newman Enterprises does
take over Sally Spector's design
182
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:35,374
company, then you would have
less contact with her.
183
00:09:35,441 --> 00:09:38,044
>> Nick: So, you believe that's
Adam's motivation,
184
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:42,114
or part of it, to get me out of
Sally's life completely?
185
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:43,282
>> Victor: Could be.
186
00:09:43,349 --> 00:09:45,318
You know,
the two of you are working
187
00:09:45,384 --> 00:09:46,552
together and I like that.
188
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:49,989
And I don't like the fact that
he could be stirring up trouble.
189
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,031
>> Nick: Dad, I appreciate you
watching out for me,
190
00:09:59,098 --> 00:10:03,402
but, uh, cutting my personal
ties to Sally's firm,
191
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:10,609
or keeping them for that matter,
doesn't concern me.
192
00:10:10,676 --> 00:10:12,445
>> Victor: You sure about that?
193
00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:15,581
>> Nick: I was a silent investor
in Sally's company.
194
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:17,683
I have no say in how
she runs her business.
195
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,285
That was part of the deal.
196
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,387
>> Victor: And you don't
consider Adam's proposal
197
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,423
as a move against you?
198
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:27,059
>> Nick: Would Adam be happy if
I divested myself completely
199
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:28,194
from Sally's business?
200
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:29,295
Of course.
201
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:31,497
But I truly believe
he is doing this because
202
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,567
he wants what is best for Sally,
and not to stick it to me.
203
00:10:34,633 --> 00:10:39,005
>> Victor: And you obviously
want what's best for Sally,
204
00:10:39,071 --> 00:10:44,643
although she has broken
your heart.
205
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:46,645
>> Nick: Relationships end, Dad.
206
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:48,214
It is what it is.
207
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,650
But, uh,
I'm not gonna apologize for
208
00:10:51,717 --> 00:10:53,753
wanting what's best for her.
209
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:56,088
>> Victor: Well, now, that's
mighty generous of you, son.
210
00:10:56,155 --> 00:10:58,491
>> Nick: I've accepted it,
that Sally and I weren't
211
00:10:58,557 --> 00:10:59,425
supposed to be together.
212
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:02,128
That person has always
been Adam.
213
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:04,830
Now, did he pursue her
relentlessly while
214
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:05,698
we were together?
215
00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:06,699
Yes, he did.
216
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:09,468
But his methods don't
change the reality.
217
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:11,237
They're supposed to be together.
218
00:11:11,303 --> 00:11:13,239
>> Victor: Well, well, well.
219
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:18,344
I still don't see the reason
to accept Adam's proposal.
220
00:11:18,411 --> 00:11:20,679
>> Nick: Do you like seeing me
and Adam work together?
221
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:23,215
>> Victor: Yeah. Proud of it.
222
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:26,385
>> Nick: Keeping him happy is
part of that dynamic.
223
00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:28,921
Because if he doesn't get his
way, there's a chance he could
224
00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:33,259
revert back to his old, devious
ways and I can't have that.
225
00:11:33,325 --> 00:11:34,727
He is unpredictable.
226
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:38,197
Now, I don't like thinking about
Adam in these terms, but in
227
00:11:38,264 --> 00:11:42,902
order for this to work, in order
for us to keep working together,
228
00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:45,538
this is the way it has to be.
229
00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:48,407
>> Victor: Makes sense.
230
00:11:48,474 --> 00:11:50,776
But make sure that there's
something in it for
231
00:11:50,843 --> 00:11:54,480
Newman Enterprises
because business is business.
232
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:58,784
>> Nick: Oh, absolutely.
233
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:02,188
>> Victor: There's something
else we need to discuss.
234
00:12:02,254 --> 00:12:04,457
>> Nick: What's that?
235
00:12:04,523 --> 00:12:07,493
>> Victor: I'm worried about
your mother.
236
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,397
That Jordan woman
keeps on calling her.
237
00:12:11,464 --> 00:12:12,331
>> Lauren: Okay.
238
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:13,299
Thank you so much.
239
00:12:13,365 --> 00:12:15,067
I'll let Nikki know.
240
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:17,169
All right,
that was your head of security.
241
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,171
He said everyone
has reported in.
242
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:20,506
No breach.
243
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:23,409
>> Nikki: Thank goodness.
244
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,311
>> Lauren: Do you want me
to call Victor?
245
00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:27,947
>> Nikki: No, he'll just rush
home and double down
246
00:12:28,013 --> 00:12:29,448
on security.
247
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:31,183
>> Lauren: What about Jack?
248
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:34,320
>> Nikki: I don't wanna take
him from his day again.
249
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:37,156
>> Lauren: All right, so let's
go over a media buy proposal.
250
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:38,457
>> Nikki: No, Lauren, I can't.
251
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:39,358
I can't concentrate.
252
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:40,626
I'm too wound up.
253
00:12:40,693 --> 00:12:42,928
Please, take me somewhere.
254
00:12:42,995 --> 00:12:44,029
Anywhere.
255
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:46,265
>> Lauren: Oh, Victor was
adamant that you stay home.
256
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:49,001
>> Nikki: I am crawling
in my skin.
257
00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:52,404
I am jumping at every tree
branch and door slam.
258
00:12:52,471 --> 00:12:53,539
How is that healthy?
259
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,474
>> Lauren: Nikki,
you're safe from Jordan here.
260
00:12:55,541 --> 00:12:57,610
>> Nikki: Lauren, please.
261
00:12:57,676 --> 00:13:01,413
I will lose my mind if I don't
have a change of scenery.
262
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,450
Take me somewhere that
doesn't serve alcohol, okay?
263
00:13:04,517 --> 00:13:06,285
And you can watch me
like a hawk.
264
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:07,720
You can handcuff me to you.
265
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:09,989
Just get me out of here, please.
266
00:13:10,055 --> 00:13:14,360
[ Lauren sighs ]
>> Lauren: Okay, fine.
267
00:13:14,426 --> 00:13:17,062
But your driver is taking us
to Crimson Lights
268
00:13:17,129 --> 00:13:19,231
with security detail.
269
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:22,101
We are having one cup of tea
and then we are
270
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,303
coming right back here.
271
00:13:24,370 --> 00:13:29,508
Please don't make me
regret this.
272
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:32,478
>> Adam: Well, we really
appreciate this, Sharon.
273
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:33,946
I know how busy you are.
274
00:13:34,013 --> 00:13:35,481
>> Sharon: Of course.
275
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,183
Anything for Connor.
276
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:41,720
I'm sorry to hear he's
going through a hard time again.
277
00:13:41,787 --> 00:13:45,291
>> Adam: Well, this time
is different and
278
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:47,226
we were hoping that you
could help us understand
279
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:48,627
what the hell is going on.
280
00:13:48,694 --> 00:13:50,796
>> Chelsea: We have
so many questions.
281
00:13:50,863 --> 00:13:56,402
>> Sharon: Okay. Well,
what have they told you so far?
282
00:13:56,468 --> 00:14:00,472
>> Adam: The school thinks that
he has, um, OCD.
283
00:14:00,539 --> 00:14:02,408
>> Chelsea: But that's
not confirmed.
284
00:14:02,474 --> 00:14:05,477
That was just one of
the possibilities she mentioned.
285
00:14:05,544 --> 00:14:08,847
They want him to see
a specialist. There's a list.
286
00:14:08,914 --> 00:14:11,383
>> Adam: Which is completely
out of left field.
287
00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:13,886
Okay, I'm worried that
they're labeling him for
288
00:14:13,953 --> 00:14:16,188
no reason and they're
freaking him out in the process.
289
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:19,158
>> Chelsea: They're not--
they're not labeling him.
290
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:24,663
If this is OCD that he has,
what are we looking at here?
291
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:29,535
>> Sharon: I'm not an expert
on OCD, but I do know that
292
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:33,172
the issues with the disorder
are intrusive and
293
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:35,641
disturbing thoughts.
294
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:39,111
The person creates rituals
to try to block them out.
295
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:40,613
>> Chelsea: Like hand washing?
296
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:42,581
>> Sharon: It could be.
297
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:46,252
Also other things
like house cleaning.
298
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:49,855
Checking things over and
over again for reassurance.
299
00:14:49,922 --> 00:14:53,492
There's a common misconception
that those behaviors are
300
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,495
the disease, but actually
they're a coping mechanism.
301
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:58,564
A tool to combat
the obsessive thoughts.
302
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:00,199
Those are the real issue.
303
00:15:00,266 --> 00:15:02,268
>> Adam: Okay, but he hasn't
said anything
304
00:15:02,334 --> 00:15:04,036
about obsessive thoughts,
and the school has always
305
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:06,505
said that he has withdrawn
from certain activities.
306
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:08,574
>> Chelsea: And he hasn't
been eating. He's been
307
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:09,508
throwing away his lunches.
308
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:12,177
>> Adam: So, that's
not OCD, right? I mean,
309
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:13,412
it has to be something else?
310
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:16,348
>> Sharon: I think
you should take the advice
311
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:18,651
of the school psychologist.
312
00:15:18,717 --> 00:15:22,121
Have Connor evaluated
by a specialist.
313
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:24,356
I can look at that list
if you would like, see if
314
00:15:24,423 --> 00:15:27,726
there's anyone on it I know,
but an expert can give
315
00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:28,727
you more insight.
316
00:15:28,794 --> 00:15:30,963
>> Adam: I-- I hate this.
317
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:34,033
>> Sharon: The important thing
is not to panic.
318
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:35,968
>> Adam: How is that possible?
319
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:39,738
We just found out that Connor
has a serious issue, but yet
320
00:15:39,805 --> 00:15:43,242
nobody seems to be able to tell
us what it is or how to fix it.
321
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:44,343
I mean, come on.
322
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:45,844
I want answers now.
323
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:53,919
>> Sharon: I get it.
324
00:15:53,986 --> 00:15:57,856
It's scary when
your child is hurting.
325
00:15:57,923 --> 00:16:01,360
>> Adam: I-- I just
want some answers already.
326
00:16:01,427 --> 00:16:04,897
>> Sharon: Issues like these
can be hard to diagnose.
327
00:16:04,963 --> 00:16:07,433
Sometimes, it's a process
of elimination.
328
00:16:07,499 --> 00:16:10,769
>> Adam: Yeah, I feel like
the school is just giving us
329
00:16:10,836 --> 00:16:11,737
the runaround.
330
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:13,305
I feel like they're
just wasting our time.
331
00:16:13,372 --> 00:16:16,642
>> Sharon: Well, you have to
take this a step at a time.
332
00:16:16,709 --> 00:16:19,244
You have to figure out what's
really going on before
333
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:20,446
you'll know how to help him.
334
00:16:20,512 --> 00:16:25,918
And remember,
it might not even be OCD.
335
00:16:25,984 --> 00:16:29,021
>> Adam: What if it is
OCD, Sharon?
336
00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:32,157
>> Sharon: Then, you will work
with a doctor who will help you
337
00:16:32,224 --> 00:16:33,325
with a treatment plan.
338
00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:36,662
Connor is gonna get
the care and attention he needs.
339
00:16:36,729 --> 00:16:38,931
You two are both wonderful,
caring parents.
340
00:16:38,997 --> 00:16:41,100
I have no doubt that you're
gonna get him through this.
341
00:16:41,166 --> 00:16:42,034
>> Adam: I know.
342
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:42,768
You're-- you're right, Sharon.
343
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,370
I just--
>> Sharon: You hate it.
344
00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:45,504
I get it.
345
00:16:45,571 --> 00:16:49,742
Every moment that you don't have
answers is excruciating.
346
00:16:49,808 --> 00:16:53,946
But the best way you can help
Connor right now is to be
347
00:16:54,012 --> 00:16:56,115
a soothing presence for him.
348
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:58,984
Help him get through this
step by step and then,
349
00:16:59,051 --> 00:17:02,221
find the experts that can help.
350
00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:04,223
Um, I'm sorry.
351
00:17:04,289 --> 00:17:05,257
I have to get going.
352
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:08,160
I have a meeting.
353
00:17:08,227 --> 00:17:11,230
>> Adam: Well, thank you for
talking us through this.
354
00:17:11,296 --> 00:17:12,998
I know you're very busy.
355
00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:16,068
>> Sharon: I'm happy to use
my training.
356
00:17:16,135 --> 00:17:18,337
Connor is a great kid.
357
00:17:18,404 --> 00:17:20,172
>> Chelsea: Well, it's been
so helpful
358
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:21,840
talking this through with you.
359
00:17:21,907 --> 00:17:23,409
>> Sharon: Call any time.
360
00:17:23,475 --> 00:17:25,177
And send me that list.
361
00:17:25,244 --> 00:17:26,812
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
362
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:28,580
>> Adam: We will.
363
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:41,260
>> Chelsea: Well,
you were right to call Sharon.
364
00:17:41,326 --> 00:17:43,562
>> Adam: Yup.
365
00:17:43,629 --> 00:17:46,165
>> Chelsea: But I'm
still terrified.
366
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:48,934
>> Adam: I know. I am too.
367
00:17:49,001 --> 00:17:50,068
But she's right.
368
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:52,504
Connor needs us.
369
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:55,174
I'm sorry that I panicked.
370
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,011
>> Chelsea: Don't apologize.
371
00:17:59,077 --> 00:18:02,314
>> Adam: I will keep my fears
in check.
372
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:05,083
And we're gonna help him
face whatever this is.
373
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:10,088
And get him whatever help
he needs.
374
00:18:10,155 --> 00:18:13,125
>> Nikki: This may be
the best cup of tea
375
00:18:13,192 --> 00:18:14,693
I've ever had.
376
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,762
Thank you so much, Lauren.
377
00:18:16,829 --> 00:18:19,097
I feel like I've been
sprung from prison.
378
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:20,899
>> Lauren: I can see that.
379
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:24,269
And I'm really glad we have
the security detail,
380
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:27,406
but I do not like going
against Victor's wishes.
381
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:29,141
>> Nikki: Don't worry about it.
382
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:31,243
I will handle him.
383
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:35,080
I'm just so happy to
be out in the world again.
384
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:38,183
I know it hasn't been
that long that I have been stuck
385
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:42,554
at the ranch, but time goes so
slowly when I'm there alone.
386
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:45,190
>> Lauren: I thought
Seth came out earlier.
387
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:47,392
>> Nikki: Yeah, he did.
388
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:50,863
It wasn't a very cheerful
conversation, though.
389
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:52,698
He's still drinking.
390
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:55,234
>> Lauren: Then, you should have
sent him away.
391
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:57,236
>> Nikki: No, he's struggling.
392
00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:59,304
That's what people
in the program do.
393
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:00,439
They help each other.
394
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:03,008
That's how we get sober.
395
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:05,310
>> Lauren: It just seems that
his visit was
396
00:19:05,377 --> 00:19:07,746
very draining on you.
397
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,048
>> Nikki: Well, he said
something that struck me
398
00:19:10,115 --> 00:19:13,719
as very odd, and it's
been gnawing away at me.
399
00:19:13,785 --> 00:19:19,858
He said that someone from
our meetings encouraged him
400
00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:22,694
to reach out to me.
401
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:25,731
>> Lauren: But isn't that how
it's supposed to be?
402
00:19:25,797 --> 00:19:28,367
>> Nikki: Well,
we're a pretty private group.
403
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:31,103
We don't really hang out
with each other.
404
00:19:31,169 --> 00:19:35,007
We don't go out for coffee
afterwards like other groups do.
405
00:19:35,073 --> 00:19:39,378
I mean, I really don't see
anyone from the meetings at all.
406
00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:42,915
So, I'm just wondering,
who would be so bold as to
407
00:19:42,981 --> 00:19:45,584
urge him to call me?
408
00:19:45,651 --> 00:19:48,020
>> Seth: Nikki seems a hell
of a lot stronger than me
409
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:49,087
these days.
410
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:51,123
>> Jordan: Really? How so?
411
00:19:51,189 --> 00:19:55,427
>> Seth: Well, she's sober,
you know, and she took one
412
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:57,863
look at me and she realized
I was in that stay buzzed
413
00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:00,399
all day stage, and really
that was just humiliating.
414
00:20:00,465 --> 00:20:02,134
>> Jordan: No, don't think
that way.
415
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,670
>> Seth: What am I supposed
to think? I mean,
416
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:08,407
I was supposed to be
there for her, strong for her
417
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:11,243
and I failed her,
and now I'm just clearly a mess,
418
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:12,210
and that's what she sees.
419
00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:14,313
>> Jordan: There's no
humiliation in
420
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:15,614
reaching out to a friend.
421
00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:17,382
That takes strength.
422
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:19,585
I'm sure Nikki knows that.
423
00:20:19,651 --> 00:20:21,486
>> Seth: Maybe.
424
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:23,822
She did say that we could meet
for coffee sometime,
425
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,390
but I'm really not so sure.
426
00:20:25,457 --> 00:20:28,694
>> Jordan: Okay, she's saying
that asking for help
427
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,195
is the right thing.
428
00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:34,433
You'll see her again, I'm sure.
429
00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:36,868
>> Seth: Why do you care
so much about this?
430
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:40,005
>> Jordan: Well,
because it's very comforting for
431
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:45,310
me to see two friends trying to
repair their friendship.
432
00:20:45,377 --> 00:20:47,546
>> Seth: Well, I just don't
understand why then you don't
433
00:20:47,613 --> 00:20:50,882
reach out to her
if she means so much to you.
434
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:52,951
>> Jordan: It's far too late.
435
00:20:53,018 --> 00:20:54,319
>> Seth: How is it too late?
436
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:56,521
According to you and everything
you're telling me, you have
437
00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:59,358
a stronger connection with her
than she and I ever had.
438
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:00,592
You have a real history.
439
00:21:00,659 --> 00:21:03,495
>> Jordan: My hurt
runs very deep.
440
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:04,796
>> Seth: No.
441
00:21:04,863 --> 00:21:09,568
No, you need to take
some of your own advice, yeah?
442
00:21:09,635 --> 00:21:15,173
Just take a risk. Reach out.
443
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,876
You know what?
444
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:21,046
We should all go to
a meeting together.
445
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:25,117
Yeah, then you and Nikki
can reconnect on safe,
446
00:21:25,183 --> 00:21:26,451
supportive ground.
447
00:21:26,518 --> 00:21:28,053
That would be great.
448
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,755
>> Jordan: No. No, no, no, no.
449
00:21:29,821 --> 00:21:32,257
I-- I couldn't do that.
450
00:21:32,324 --> 00:21:34,526
>> Seth: Why not?
451
00:21:34,593 --> 00:21:36,228
Huh?
452
00:21:36,294 --> 00:21:38,196
What aren't you telling me?
453
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:49,775
>> Chloe: You're wrong. This is
the worst idea ever.
454
00:21:49,841 --> 00:21:53,278
And your judgment is being
clouded by the mind-boggling
455
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:55,047
fact that you've been
sucked back in by Adam.
456
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:56,148
>> Sally: Okay, will you stop?
457
00:21:56,214 --> 00:21:58,116
>> Chloe: I know you're
thinking, "Oh, it's cool.
458
00:21:58,183 --> 00:22:00,118
We have this growing connection
and we'll be working together
459
00:22:00,185 --> 00:22:02,654
soon," but I am here
to point out
460
00:22:02,721 --> 00:22:04,389
the train wreck ahead.
461
00:22:04,456 --> 00:22:06,758
>> Sally: Okay, we all know
that you do not want me
462
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:07,659
with Adam, okay?
463
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:10,195
But this has absolutely
nothing to do with
464
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:11,163
our personal relationship.
465
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:13,198
Okay, I was ready to bring
my design business
466
00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:14,366
into Newman before.
467
00:22:14,433 --> 00:22:16,768
>> Chloe: Yeah,
and it was an awful idea then.
468
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:19,638
I mean, Victor ripped it
out from underneath us
469
00:22:19,705 --> 00:22:20,772
at the very last minute.
470
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,674
What makes you think that
we can trust him again?
471
00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:25,444
>> Sally: Maybe
this is different.
472
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:26,645
>> Chloe: No, it is not.
473
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:29,047
>> Sally: Okay, are you ready
to just give up on everything
474
00:22:29,114 --> 00:22:31,049
that we busted our butts for?
475
00:22:31,116 --> 00:22:33,318
Our work is great.
476
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:35,721
We built this company up
from nothing.
477
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:38,056
And I have zero intention of
giving up.
478
00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:40,125
Okay, we have 100% success rate.
479
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,527
>> Chloe: Yes, with our
very few clients.
480
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:44,096
>> Sally: Exactly.
481
00:22:44,162 --> 00:22:48,033
Newman Enterprises is
a powerhouse.
482
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,435
Being a part of that company
means we won't
483
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:51,503
have to hustle for gigs anymore.
484
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:54,840
>> Chloe: We are going to
lose our autonomy.
485
00:22:54,906 --> 00:22:58,076
We're going to have Adam
breathing down our necks,
486
00:22:58,143 --> 00:23:02,380
offering his guidance
and-- and suggestions.
487
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:04,750
He will be telling us
how to run our company.
488
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:06,184
Is that what you want?
489
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:09,187
>> Sally: Adam swore
he wouldn't do any of that.
490
00:23:09,254 --> 00:23:12,491
>> Chloe: And the second Victor
is in a mood, he will make
491
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:14,326
sure to get rid of us.
492
00:23:14,392 --> 00:23:16,895
>> Sally: Okay, well Adam said
that he would protect us
493
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:19,164
from Victor if
anything like that happened,
494
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,432
okay? But hopefully it won't.
495
00:23:20,499 --> 00:23:22,634
>> Chloe: You have to trust me
on this.
496
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:27,472
Getting into bed with Adam
was a huge mistake.
497
00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:31,076
Getting into bed with
Newman Enterprises
498
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:32,811
is a bigger one.
499
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,450
>> Jordan: I'm not
hiding anything.
500
00:23:38,517 --> 00:23:41,620
I'm just not ready to take
the step that you just took.
501
00:23:41,686 --> 00:23:44,055
>> Seth: Yeah, but
if you had the friendship with
502
00:23:44,122 --> 00:23:46,091
her that you say you have--
>> Jordan: Well, that's
503
00:23:46,158 --> 00:23:47,659
exactly why.
504
00:23:47,726 --> 00:23:51,062
It hurt when she cut me off,
even though I understood
505
00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:54,966
why she did what she did
and I-- I haven't been able
506
00:23:55,033 --> 00:23:56,768
to stay sober since then.
507
00:23:56,835 --> 00:24:00,071
But you, you,
your slip is-- is more reasoned.
508
00:24:00,138 --> 00:24:01,540
You have hope.
509
00:24:01,606 --> 00:24:02,774
You can get back on track.
510
00:24:02,841 --> 00:24:04,810
>> Seth: Well, I believe
you can too. I mean,
511
00:24:04,876 --> 00:24:06,211
look, you reached out to me.
512
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:09,381
>> Jordan: In a bar.
513
00:24:09,447 --> 00:24:13,585
I mean, it's a big jump to go
from talking about Nikki Newman
514
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:16,855
in a bar to facing her face
to face at an AA meeting.
515
00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:19,758
I hope you can understand that.
516
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:21,426
>> Seth: I don't know if I can.
517
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:25,096
>> Jordan: Seth, all I'm trying
to do is to help
518
00:24:25,163 --> 00:24:26,431
you two reconnect.
519
00:24:26,498 --> 00:24:29,534
That's all I need today
and maybe, in the future,
520
00:24:29,601 --> 00:24:32,437
I'll be able to get there.
521
00:24:32,504 --> 00:24:37,709
But in the meantime,
understand this is all I can do.
522
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:41,479
But this is what we do, right?
523
00:24:41,546 --> 00:24:43,582
We help each other.
524
00:24:46,051 --> 00:24:48,587
>> Nick: I hate that Mom's so
upset knowing Jordan's
525
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:51,590
still out there.
526
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:54,192
How badly are these calls
from Jordan messing
527
00:24:54,259 --> 00:24:57,229
with Mom's sobriety?
528
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,566
>> Victor: Your mother's
getting better, but...
529
00:25:01,633 --> 00:25:05,036
I'm very worried about her, son.
530
00:25:05,103 --> 00:25:09,107
Especially now that she wants
to set her own trap.
531
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,508
>> Nick: A trap?
532
00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:11,810
That's a terrible idea.
533
00:25:11,877 --> 00:25:13,078
What kind of trap?
534
00:25:13,144 --> 00:25:18,083
>> Victor: She wants to provoke
Jordan into coming after her.
535
00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:19,851
>> Nick: Well, that is
too dangerous.
536
00:25:19,918 --> 00:25:20,785
We cannot let that happen.
537
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:23,488
>> Victor: I totally agree
with you, okay?
538
00:25:23,555 --> 00:25:28,093
That's why I have to do
everything in my power to
539
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:30,328
get to Jordan first.
540
00:25:30,395 --> 00:25:34,266
And I think the best way to
do that is through Claire.
541
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:36,968
>> Nick: Isn't Claire staying in
a maximum security
542
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:37,869
psychiatric ward?
543
00:25:37,936 --> 00:25:39,537
Do you really think
Jordan can get to her?
544
00:25:39,604 --> 00:25:41,139
>> Victor: She is.
545
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,743
But I'm gonna make
access to Claire simpler.
546
00:25:44,809 --> 00:25:45,877
>> Nick: How?
547
00:25:45,944 --> 00:25:52,684
>> Victor: I'll pull some
strings and then remand Claire
548
00:25:52,751 --> 00:25:54,886
into Victoria's custody.
549
00:25:57,622 --> 00:25:59,925
>> Nick: So you want to
take her out of the hospital?
550
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:01,426
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
551
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:04,195
>> Nick: Dad,
Claire's been through a lot.
552
00:26:04,262 --> 00:26:06,331
It's very early
in her treatment.
553
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:08,833
You really think an early
release is the best thing
554
00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,368
for her?
555
00:26:10,435 --> 00:26:12,604
>> Victor: I talked to the
doctors and they think that
556
00:26:12,671 --> 00:26:14,606
she's doing better.
557
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:19,477
And as we speak, she's creating
a bond with your sister.
558
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:20,679
>> Nick: Great.
559
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:25,684
I mean, I love hearing that, but
why risk a setback?
560
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:29,421
>> Victor: Look,
to be frank with you,
561
00:26:29,487 --> 00:26:31,323
I've talked to Claire, okay?
562
00:26:31,389 --> 00:26:35,026
She wants Jordan behind bars
as badly as we do.
563
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:38,229
And if anything happens to
Claire and she feels
564
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:42,400
uncomfortable, she can always go
back to the hospital, obviously.
565
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:48,106
But meanwhile,
she will provide access
566
00:26:48,173 --> 00:26:51,643
to Jordan
more simply than anyone
567
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:53,645
or anything else.
568
00:26:56,748 --> 00:26:58,550
>> Adam: Hey.
569
00:26:58,616 --> 00:27:01,486
>> Chloe: Well, uh,
will you look at the time?
570
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:02,620
I've got to go.
571
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:04,889
>> Adam: Look, I don't wanna
interrupt if you're meeting.
572
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:06,358
>> Sally: No, we've
covered everything.
573
00:27:06,424 --> 00:27:07,459
>> Chloe: Yeah, for now.
574
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:11,162
Just no major decisions
in the meantime.
575
00:27:11,229 --> 00:27:12,630
>> Sally: Agreed.
576
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:17,669
>> Adam: Do you mind
if I join you?
577
00:27:17,736 --> 00:27:20,972
>> Sally: Now that you've
scared Chloe off?
578
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:24,242
>> Adam: I wanted to
talk over some things.
579
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:27,345
Unless now's a bad time?
580
00:27:27,412 --> 00:27:30,315
>> Sally: Are you okay?
581
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:32,117
Any updates on Connor?
582
00:27:32,183 --> 00:27:34,719
>> Adam: Yeah, we got some.
583
00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:36,988
The school is asking
for more tests.
584
00:27:37,055 --> 00:27:40,592
Hopefully, to rule out some
more serious issues.
585
00:27:40,658 --> 00:27:42,560
>> Sally: The not knowing
must be hard.
586
00:27:42,627 --> 00:27:46,398
>> Adam: Yeah, it's the worst.
587
00:27:46,464 --> 00:27:49,467
You know, not knowing what's
going on with my kid.
588
00:27:49,534 --> 00:27:51,503
Not knowing how to help him.
589
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,983
>> Sally: Do you wanna
take a walk?
590
00:28:05,050 --> 00:28:06,317
Get some air?
591
00:28:06,384 --> 00:28:07,986
>> Adam: No, I'm okay.
592
00:28:08,053 --> 00:28:08,953
He's gonna be fine.
593
00:28:09,020 --> 00:28:10,955
We're gonna get to
the bottom of this and we're
594
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:12,223
gonna get him the right help.
595
00:28:12,290 --> 00:28:14,559
>> Sally: Yeah,
of course you will.
596
00:28:14,626 --> 00:28:17,662
Connor is a smart and sensitive
kid who has a lot going for him,
597
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:20,698
including two parents
who adore him.
598
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:25,570
>> Adam: Yeah,
well, Chelsea has been a rock.
599
00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:32,010
And I've been me,
but I'm gonna do better.
600
00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:33,445
>> Sally: Let's sit.
601
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:41,252
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: So, I take it Chloe's
602
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:45,056
ticked about my idea to
bring your business into Newman?
603
00:28:45,123 --> 00:28:48,393
>> Sally: After I unloaded on
her about you going
604
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:49,928
behind my back, yeah.
605
00:28:49,994 --> 00:28:51,196
But I mean, it's no surprise.
606
00:28:51,262 --> 00:28:56,167
It's no secret that she's
not your biggest fan.
607
00:28:56,234 --> 00:28:59,270
>> Adam: I'm more concerned
about where your head is at.
608
00:28:59,337 --> 00:29:01,439
Are you still mad?
609
00:29:01,506 --> 00:29:03,875
Or do you understand why
I went to Nick and my dad
610
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:05,376
before I came to you?
611
00:29:07,345 --> 00:29:09,647
>> Nick: There's one major flaw
with your plan, Dad.
612
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:12,083
>> Victor: What's that?
613
00:29:12,150 --> 00:29:14,586
>> Nick: Vic is never gonna
let you use Claire as bait,
614
00:29:14,652 --> 00:29:18,189
especially if she's out
in the world. It's too risky.
615
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:22,393
>> Victor: Well,
all I really want her to do
616
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:26,998
is deliver a message for me.
617
00:29:27,065 --> 00:29:29,501
>> Nick: What's the message?
618
00:29:29,567 --> 00:29:33,538
>> Victor: That I wanna make
amends for having done so many
619
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:37,942
horrible things to her sister,
Eve. Which, according to Jordan,
620
00:29:38,009 --> 00:29:41,112
led her to become mentally ill.
621
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:43,781
>> Nick: And you think Jordan's
gonna fall for that?
622
00:29:43,848 --> 00:29:45,717
Especially after she heard
all those horrible things
623
00:29:45,783 --> 00:29:47,118
you said about her sister?
624
00:29:47,185 --> 00:29:49,954
>> Victor: Well, knowing her,
she's arrogant enough to
625
00:29:50,021 --> 00:29:53,691
think that she can pull the wool
over my eyes and trick me.
626
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:59,364
And when she thinks
she's successful,
627
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:03,001
I'll turn the tables on her.
628
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:06,337
>> Billy: Hey,
what a nice surprise.
629
00:30:06,404 --> 00:30:09,407
>> Chelsea: Hi, I'm so glad
you're not in a meeting.
630
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:11,042
>> Billy: You okay?
631
00:30:11,109 --> 00:30:13,444
Did you get some news on Connor?
632
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:14,312
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
633
00:30:14,379 --> 00:30:16,548
They think he has OCD.
634
00:30:16,614 --> 00:30:18,383
>> Billy: OCD?
635
00:30:18,449 --> 00:30:19,918
Chelsea, I'm sorry.
636
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:22,887
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I mean, they
have to do more tests, but--
637
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:25,190
but that's what
they think it is. I don't know.
638
00:30:25,256 --> 00:30:27,058
>> Billy: Yeah, I gotta
be honest,
639
00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:29,661
I don't really know much
about it besides what I've
640
00:30:29,727 --> 00:30:30,562
learned in the movies.
641
00:30:30,628 --> 00:30:32,197
>> Chelsea: Yeah,
most people don't.
642
00:30:32,263 --> 00:30:35,166
That's why Sharon just spent
a lot of time talking
643
00:30:35,233 --> 00:30:38,970
to Adam and me about it
and explaining it and
644
00:30:39,037 --> 00:30:43,708
the way she was discussing it,
really, it's really big.
645
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:45,410
And it's really scary.
646
00:30:45,476 --> 00:30:47,512
And then-- and then Adam,
of course, starts spiraling,
647
00:30:47,579 --> 00:30:49,981
and so I have to be the one
to remain calm.
648
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:51,916
>> Billy: Well, leave it to Adam
to draw attention.
649
00:30:51,983 --> 00:30:52,984
>> Chelsea: No, it wasn't that.
650
00:30:53,051 --> 00:30:56,421
I think he's just terrified.
651
00:30:56,487 --> 00:30:58,556
We both are
and Sharon was great.
652
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:00,858
I mean, she calmed him down,
she calmed me down.
653
00:31:00,925 --> 00:31:03,394
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Billy: Okay, well, I'm glad
654
00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:06,331
that she was there for you,
but it doesn't really sound like
655
00:31:06,397 --> 00:31:08,800
you are sure if it's OCD.
656
00:31:08,866 --> 00:31:10,268
>> Chelsea: Yeah, not 100%.
657
00:31:10,335 --> 00:31:13,838
We have to get him assessed
and hopefully
658
00:31:13,905 --> 00:31:14,973
come up with a diagnosis.
659
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:17,842
>> Billy: Okay, so for now,
we wait?
660
00:31:17,909 --> 00:31:22,313
>> Chelsea: Yeah. I hate this.
661
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:26,017
I mean, there's so much to do to
try to come up with answers.
662
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:29,254
And I-- I can't think straight
because my son is
663
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,388
suffering and in pain.
664
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:32,523
I mean, you should have
heard him just now on the phone.
665
00:31:32,590 --> 00:31:34,993
Connor's confused
and he's-- he's scared.
666
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:37,428
He doesn't understand what's
going on. He doesn't understand
667
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:38,463
what's wrong with him.
668
00:31:38,529 --> 00:31:40,665
>> Billy: Poor guy.
669
00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:43,001
>> Chelsea: I know the school
doesn't want us to go there,
670
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:46,104
but after this news,
I have to go.
671
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:48,139
I have to. I have to see my son.
672
00:31:48,206 --> 00:31:50,908
>> Billy: Okay, so we go.
673
00:31:50,975 --> 00:31:54,345
We go this weekend. I'll drive.
674
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:56,581
>> Chelsea: No, that's--
I love you for offering that
675
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:58,616
but you're in the thick of it
with work.
676
00:31:58,683 --> 00:32:00,618
>> Billy: Hey, hey,
that doesn't matter, okay?
677
00:32:00,685 --> 00:32:02,453
Like you said, this is big.
678
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,756
And you need to be there for
Connor, which means I need
679
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:06,291
to be there for you.
680
00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:09,761
I'm not gonna let you
go through this alone.
681
00:32:19,170 --> 00:32:22,507
>> Sally: I'm not quite ready
to forgive you,
682
00:32:22,573 --> 00:32:26,544
if that's what you're asking.
683
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:30,848
>> Adam: Sally,
I swear to you,
684
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:33,084
I was not trying to go
behind your back.
685
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:35,453
I just wanted to make sure
it was possible before
686
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,587
I got your hopes up.
687
00:32:36,654 --> 00:32:38,823
You know I would never commit to
anything on your behalf.
688
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:41,959
I just, I wanted to create
an opening for you.
689
00:32:42,026 --> 00:32:45,897
>> Sally: But you could see
why I was upset, right?
690
00:32:45,963 --> 00:32:51,135
Seeming like you wanted to
control my company, my future.
691
00:32:51,202 --> 00:32:52,570
>> Adam: I do now.
692
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:55,139
And that was never my intention.
693
00:32:55,206 --> 00:33:02,013
Okay? I'm sorry. I screwed up.
694
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,383
>> Sally: And I can
see your logic.
695
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:09,354
Wanting to get their buy-in
before you floated the idea.
696
00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,521
>> Adam: Okay.
697
00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:16,728
Well, it sounds like you're
coming around to the idea.
698
00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:19,464
>> Sally: Having the power of
Newman Enterprises behind us
699
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:22,667
would open a lot of doors.
700
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,502
>> Adam: Yes.
701
00:33:24,569 --> 00:33:26,904
So, are you ready
to take the lead?
702
00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:30,141
>> Sally: First, you tell me.
703
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:32,877
Is it even possible?
704
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:35,613
Has Victor made up his mind?
705
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:43,654
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
I come home and you're gone.
706
00:33:43,721 --> 00:33:47,492
Where the hell have you been?
707
00:33:47,558 --> 00:33:49,927
With all due respect, why
did you let her leave the house?
708
00:33:49,994 --> 00:33:51,329
>> Nikki: Don't blame Lauren.
709
00:33:51,396 --> 00:33:53,765
She tried to talk me out
of it, but I insisted.
710
00:33:53,831 --> 00:33:56,968
We simply went to Crimson Lights
for a cup of tea.
711
00:33:57,034 --> 00:33:59,337
We were perfectly safe,
surrounded by people.
712
00:33:59,404 --> 00:34:01,339
>> Lauren: I made sure the
security detail was with us.
713
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:03,441
They did not let us out of
their sight for one minute.
714
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:04,675
>> Victor: I know all that.
715
00:34:04,742 --> 00:34:06,577
I got the report, all right?
716
00:34:06,644 --> 00:34:09,514
You and I had agreed that you
will not leave the house.
717
00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:10,348
>> Nikki: Victor.
718
00:34:10,415 --> 00:34:11,916
>> Victor: Don't put yourself
at risk.
719
00:34:11,983 --> 00:34:14,485
>> Nikki: I cannot live like
a prisoner.
720
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:19,290
Being cooped up here, it makes
the urge to drink even stronger.
721
00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:22,026
Brings back all those
feelings of being locked up
722
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:23,528
at the lake house.
723
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:31,869
>> Seth: I appreciate you
trying to help me.
724
00:34:31,936 --> 00:34:33,871
I just wish I could
do the same for you.
725
00:34:33,938 --> 00:34:35,206
>> Jordan: But you can.
726
00:34:35,273 --> 00:34:38,810
You can let me live
vicariously through you
727
00:34:38,876 --> 00:34:41,212
mending things with Nikki.
728
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:44,115
Let that give me the strength
and the hope that I can do
729
00:34:44,182 --> 00:34:45,817
the same.
730
00:34:45,883 --> 00:34:47,752
When are you gonna
see her again?
731
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:49,287
>> Seth: Uh, I-- I don't know.
732
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:50,354
We don't have plans.
733
00:34:50,421 --> 00:34:52,623
>> Jordan: Oh, don't lose
momentum. Invite her out
734
00:34:52,690 --> 00:34:53,724
for coffee.
735
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:55,860
>> Seth: I really got the sense
that she wasn't ready
736
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:56,894
to leave home.
737
00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:58,729
Maybe there were too many
temptations or something
738
00:34:58,796 --> 00:34:59,764
in the outside world.
739
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:03,167
>> Jordan: Oh,
oh, I can understand that.
740
00:35:03,234 --> 00:35:07,171
But you know she can't
survive living in a glass tower.
741
00:35:07,238 --> 00:35:09,173
That isn't real sobriety.
742
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,877
Maybe you can be the one to get
Nikki out of her shell again.
743
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:19,450
Wouldn't that be a wonderful way
to help our dear friend Nikki?
744
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:23,187
>> Victor: I know this is
a nightmare for you, okay?
745
00:35:23,254 --> 00:35:25,623
That's why I'm determined to
put the second stage
746
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:27,058
of my plan in motion.
747
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:29,327
>> Nikki: Good, because I don't
know how much longer
748
00:35:29,393 --> 00:35:30,027
I can do this.
749
00:35:30,094 --> 00:35:31,863
>> Victor: I know.
750
00:35:31,929 --> 00:35:35,600
It won't be much longer,
I promise you.
