1
00:00:06,239 --> 00:00:07,774
I cannot believe that Matt Clark
2
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:08,875
is still alive.
3
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:10,310
How did he pull that off?
4
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:11,611
Well, we didn't ask him
5
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:13,046
to regale us with the details
6
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:14,781
of his triumphant return from
the dead.
7
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:16,082
Oh, no, no. No.
8
00:00:16,149 --> 00:00:17,384
Of course not. But I would have
9
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:18,918
loved to have seen Victor's face
10
00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:20,854
when you and Kyle showed up
with him.
11
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,355
You know Victor. He works
very hard
12
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,357
at pretending he isn't fazed by
anything.
13
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:26,192
Oh, I bet he was fazed tonight.
14
00:00:26,259 --> 00:00:28,428
I mean, this is unbelievable,
Jack,
15
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:29,963
to have a bargaining chip
like that
16
00:00:30,029 --> 00:00:31,398
fall right into our laps?
17
00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:34,234
So, did Victor agree
to call off the dogs?
18
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:35,668
Not exactly.
19
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:37,437
What do you mean?
20
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:40,373
Finding Matt was not the
craziest part of the evening.
21
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,208
Victor is not calling off
the dogs.
22
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:43,810
He's got much bigger problems.
23
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:47,247
It appears the dogs
are coming after him now.
24
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,483
BILLY: To the fall
of Victor Newman.
25
00:00:52,085 --> 00:00:54,387
To Cane and Phyllis
for pulling it off.
26
00:00:54,454 --> 00:00:56,456
Never thought I'd say that.
27
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,161
How many times did you tell me
28
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,430
I was gonna crash and burn?
29
00:01:04,864 --> 00:01:07,934
How many times did you wanna say
30
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:09,903
you'd love to see me
twist in the wind?
31
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:12,472
Well, old man.
32
00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:14,407
Joke's on you.
33
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:18,111
To Victor
and to Newman Enterprises
34
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:19,913
going down in flames.
35
00:01:29,489 --> 00:01:31,558
Are you coming to bed?
36
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:34,060
Yeah. Yeah.
37
00:01:34,127 --> 00:01:35,628
I'll be there in a minute.
38
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:40,033
Are you drinking again?
39
00:01:45,038 --> 00:01:49,876
♪♪
40
00:02:17,237 --> 00:02:19,539
Yes. Look,
we know that this is bad,
41
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:21,274
but right now
I need you to calm down
42
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:23,843
and give me an assessment
of what we've lost so far.
43
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:25,445
No, don't tell me that there is
44
00:02:25,512 --> 00:02:26,613
nothing that you can do.
45
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:27,747
I mean, we pay you people
46
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,082
a fortune to troubleshoot
47
00:02:29,148 --> 00:02:30,917
these security breaches.
48
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:32,151
All right? So just do your
49
00:02:32,218 --> 00:02:33,853
damn jobs.
50
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,421
How could this have happened?
51
00:02:35,488 --> 00:02:38,558
You had that program
in your hands.
52
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:40,493
Who's controlling it now?
53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,263
I-is this an inside job,
somebody at Newman?
54
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:45,632
Who is doing this to us?
55
00:02:55,441 --> 00:02:57,010
What is this, Victor?
56
00:02:57,076 --> 00:02:59,112
Well...it's the key
57
00:02:59,178 --> 00:03:01,180
to Newman Enterprises.
58
00:03:01,247 --> 00:03:02,749
You won.
59
00:03:02,815 --> 00:03:04,751
The company is yours.
60
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:06,853
Oh, wow.
61
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,621
No hard feelings, right?
62
00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:12,125
No, no, no, no.
You won fair and square.
63
00:03:12,191 --> 00:03:14,394
Really. You know...
64
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:19,499
all these years, I thought
Jack Abbott was my nemesis.
65
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:21,868
Instead, all along, it was you!
66
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:25,538
You, who were a true danger
to everything I've built.
67
00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:29,175
I mean, it's your determination,
it's your...
68
00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,610
power.
69
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:32,145
Some might even call her
a genius.
70
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:34,447
Yes. Obviously.
71
00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:35,949
No, no.
72
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:37,283
-No, no, boys!
-Yes! Yes!
73
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:39,018
You flatter me!
74
00:03:39,085 --> 00:03:40,753
I did have help.
75
00:03:40,820 --> 00:03:42,388
No, no, no, no, no.
76
00:03:42,455 --> 00:03:44,791
Give credit where credit is due.
77
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:47,160
You know I know
a lot about business.
78
00:03:47,226 --> 00:03:48,761
He amassed his fortune
79
00:03:48,828 --> 00:03:51,164
by conniving
with his con man father.
80
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:54,400
You...you, Phyllis,
81
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:57,036
are the true genius
in this town.
82
00:03:57,103 --> 00:03:59,939
You are the one person
to really fear.
83
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:02,675
And the true heir to
Katherine Chancellor's legacy.
84
00:04:02,742 --> 00:04:05,144
I thought it would be me.
85
00:04:05,211 --> 00:04:07,747
How wrong I was.
86
00:04:07,814 --> 00:04:10,083
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
87
00:04:17,857 --> 00:04:19,459
What are you doing,
imagining the first thing
88
00:04:19,525 --> 00:04:20,860
you're gonna do
when all this comes out?
89
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:24,764
You know the only thing
that would be better
90
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:29,168
is if we were in
the same room with Victor
91
00:04:29,235 --> 00:04:32,839
when he realizes it's...all gone
92
00:04:32,905 --> 00:04:35,174
and it's [laughing] ours.
93
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:38,511
-[pop]
-Well...
94
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:40,980
I think that calls for a toast.
95
00:04:41,047 --> 00:04:43,716
All right! Yes.
96
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:47,487
You know what? I knew
I was in the ride of my life
97
00:04:47,553 --> 00:04:48,621
when I went to Nice.
98
00:04:48,688 --> 00:04:50,657
I knew my whole life
was gonna change.
99
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:53,826
But this--this is...
100
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:55,995
this is more than I dreamed.
101
00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:58,097
I mean, this is...
102
00:04:58,164 --> 00:05:00,166
this is more than I imagined.
103
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:04,270
-To new adventures.
-Yeah, wait, wait, wait.
104
00:05:04,337 --> 00:05:06,773
Wait, wait. No.
105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,174
[both chuckle]
106
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:11,244
This is to having it all.
107
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:21,921
It's nothing.
It's really not a big deal.
108
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:23,623
I just, uh, you know,
109
00:05:23,690 --> 00:05:25,391
wanted to take the edge off
a little bit.
110
00:05:25,458 --> 00:05:27,093
The edge off of what, Billy?
111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,195
You've literally spent
the entire evening
112
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:31,164
telling me that everything
is great with you, me,
113
00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:33,099
and Abbott Communications
and that your thirst
114
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,168
for revenge on Victor
is thoroughly quenched.
115
00:05:35,234 --> 00:05:36,536
Yes.
116
00:05:36,602 --> 00:05:37,937
That's all true.
117
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:39,672
Okay,
so then what's the problem?
118
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:43,242
You're right.
119
00:05:43,309 --> 00:05:45,378
There's no problem.
There's no problem at all.
120
00:05:45,445 --> 00:05:47,547
So...let's go to bed.
121
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:49,949
No, Billy.
122
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:52,752
-We need to talk.
-Ooh.
123
00:05:52,819 --> 00:05:56,689
The four most ominous words
you can say to a man.
124
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:58,291
I'm serious.
125
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:02,028
Okay.
126
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:03,596
Okay, look,
127
00:06:03,663 --> 00:06:07,200
the last few months,
you have done...
128
00:06:07,266 --> 00:06:10,369
done a really great job
at picking yourself up, okay?
129
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:12,472
I'll be honest. I wasn't really
sure if you could do it,
130
00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:15,041
but you did,
and I'm really proud of you.
131
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:18,311
Okay, well, I like the way
this talk's going so far.
132
00:06:18,377 --> 00:06:20,379
But I cannot ignore the fact
that lately
133
00:06:20,446 --> 00:06:23,116
you've been a little jumpy...
and agitated.
134
00:06:23,182 --> 00:06:25,118
I'm not just talking about
having a little whisky
135
00:06:25,184 --> 00:06:27,053
to smooth the edges.
I'm talking about the fact
136
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,123
that it seems like
every nerve in your body
137
00:06:30,189 --> 00:06:32,558
is wired for action,
and Billy, it's scaring me.
138
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:37,363
Sally, you know that's
the last thing I wanna do.
139
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:40,466
Okay, then what is it?
What is going on?
140
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:42,135
Nothing's going on.
141
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:46,038
Look, okay, I saw Phyllis
and Cane talking
142
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:47,640
and their heads together,
143
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,909
coming up with this big,
elaborate plan
144
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:52,311
and it got under my skin
a little bit.
145
00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:54,113
That's it, okay?
146
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:56,149
So it's not a big deal.
147
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:59,819
We'll go to bed, and I'll wake
up my happy-go-lucky self.
148
00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:02,288
Billy, I really think we need to
get to the bottom of this.
149
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:05,324
Sally, there's nothing
to get to the bottom of.
150
00:07:05,391 --> 00:07:07,260
Okay? I don't know
what the hell this is.
151
00:07:07,326 --> 00:07:10,029
I don't know if you're...
[sighs]
152
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,064
some kind of intervention
or something?
153
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:14,167
Because everything's fine, okay?
We're fine. I'm fine.
154
00:07:14,233 --> 00:07:16,402
[objects clattering]
155
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,538
Can we move on, please?
156
00:07:21,073 --> 00:07:23,409
So Victor was all set
to make the deal.
157
00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:25,111
We give him Matt Clark,
158
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:26,813
and then he hands over
the AI program.
159
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:29,916
He was stalling. He was
denying everything as usual,
160
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:33,052
but I knew I had him cornered,
and he knew it too.
161
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,854
So what changed?
162
00:07:34,921 --> 00:07:36,422
He suddenly got a text,
163
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:38,324
and all of the color
drained from his face.
164
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:41,527
He was staring at his phone
like it was a bomb.
165
00:07:41,594 --> 00:07:44,030
So it had to be something big.
166
00:07:44,096 --> 00:07:45,832
And at that precise moment,
167
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:48,067
I knew the earth
had just shifted for us,
168
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:50,102
that everything had changed.
169
00:07:50,169 --> 00:07:52,104
-What do you mean?
-I don't think we're gonna
170
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:54,173
have to give up anything
to get Victor to back down
171
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,808
from coming after us.
172
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:58,377
In fact, I think that's gonna be
the last thing on his mind
173
00:07:58,444 --> 00:08:00,847
-for a while.
-God, Jack, I hope that's true.
174
00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:02,715
I'm not saying
the threat is over yet.
175
00:08:02,782 --> 00:08:05,184
This is just a hunch,
but it's a hunch based on
176
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:08,187
years and years of doing battle
with that bastard
177
00:08:08,254 --> 00:08:10,823
and knowing how he operates.
178
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:14,060
I'm telling you,
Victor is scared.
179
00:08:14,126 --> 00:08:16,529
-Scared?
-I saw it in his eyes.
180
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:19,332
The doubt, the uncertainty.
181
00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:21,734
More than that,
more than any of that,
182
00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:23,636
I saw fear.
183
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:26,405
Whatever went down,
Victor did not see it coming,
184
00:08:26,472 --> 00:08:30,743
and he--he was rattled in a way
I have never seen before.
185
00:08:30,810 --> 00:08:34,313
The town bully
just got punched in the face.
186
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:37,083
Let's see if he can get up now.
187
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:39,852
I know this is
very upsetting to you.
188
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,822
-Well, and it isn't to you?
-Of course it is.
189
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:46,225
Trying to figure out
who the hell...
190
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:49,028
could be responsible for this.
191
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:51,364
All I know is
it's not an inside job.
192
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:52,665
Why do you think that?
193
00:08:52,732 --> 00:08:54,934
Because no one at
Newman Enterprises knows
194
00:08:55,001 --> 00:08:56,769
that I have the software,
195
00:08:56,836 --> 00:08:59,138
nor do they realize
how powerful it is.
196
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:01,507
All right, well,
then we're gonna make a list.
197
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:03,342
We'll go name by name,
198
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:05,344
and if we come across
somebody that we know--
199
00:09:05,411 --> 00:09:08,414
It will be somebody we know,
I promise you.
200
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:11,183
I hope you're not suggesting
it's Jack.
201
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:14,153
No. Jack Abbott
doesn't have the resources
202
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:17,390
nor the intelligence
to pull off something like this.
203
00:09:17,456 --> 00:09:19,392
Well, then who do you suspect?
204
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,894
I suspect Phyllis.
205
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:24,830
I have a feeling she put
something in the software
206
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:27,700
that allowed her
to take control of it.
207
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:33,005
Or Cane Ashby put it into
the software from the beginning.
208
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:35,775
So you think it's one of them?
209
00:09:36,876 --> 00:09:38,911
Or both.
210
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:40,646
CANE: Are you happy?
211
00:09:40,713 --> 00:09:42,615
I'm ecstatic!
Are you kidding me?
212
00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:44,283
When are we going in
for the kill?
213
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:46,319
When are we gonna tell him
that we did this?
214
00:09:46,385 --> 00:09:47,987
He's lost everything,
and we're responsible.
215
00:09:48,054 --> 00:09:49,622
-When are we doing it?
-Soon.
216
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,357
Soon? It can't be
soon enough for me.
217
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,893
My God, this is crazy!
218
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,695
This is Victor Newman!
219
00:09:55,761 --> 00:09:58,030
I cannot wait to see him fall
220
00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:00,099
from his perch!
221
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,003
You know the face that
he's gonna see on his way down?
222
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:06,272
-Mine.
-[chuckling]
223
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,310
I can't wait to tell my kids
what I accomplished.
224
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:13,779
I can't wait to see their face.
225
00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:17,783
I'm sorry.
226
00:10:17,850 --> 00:10:20,019
-For what?
-No, I mentioned my kids,
227
00:10:20,086 --> 00:10:21,220
-and it's so insensitive.
-Stop.
228
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:22,722
With everything that's going on
229
00:10:22,788 --> 00:10:24,090
-with your kids, I'm sorry.
-Stop. Listen.
230
00:10:24,156 --> 00:10:25,958
-Please forgive me.
-No. There's nothing to forgive.
231
00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:27,893
Listen, Mattie and Charlie
have made it very clear
232
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,662
that they want nothing
to do with me.
233
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:31,964
Apparently, amassing
great wealth and success
234
00:10:32,031 --> 00:10:34,300
is something to be ashamed of.
235
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:36,335
You should enjoy this
with your family.
236
00:10:36,402 --> 00:10:38,004
Yeah.
237
00:10:38,070 --> 00:10:40,106
What are we gonna call it?
238
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:42,975
Call what?
239
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:44,810
The old Newman.
240
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:47,146
What are we gonna call
the new Newman?
241
00:10:47,213 --> 00:10:48,881
[both laughing]
242
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,050
I-I don't know.
I haven't thought that far yet.
243
00:10:51,117 --> 00:10:53,119
Yeah?
244
00:10:53,185 --> 00:10:55,121
Has to be something grand,
245
00:10:55,187 --> 00:10:57,056
something appropriate.
246
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:59,692
We slayed the dragon, Cane.
247
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:03,662
He has been running the show
for a really long time,
248
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:06,499
and he has not been kind.
249
00:11:06,565 --> 00:11:09,468
At all. Especially to me.
250
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:12,471
-So this is personal for you.
-Yes. It is very personal.
251
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,209
He has treated me poorly.
252
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:22,848
I mean, and recently,
welching on the deal.
253
00:11:22,915 --> 00:11:25,384
Double-crossing me? Forget it.
254
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:28,320
No. It's over for him.
255
00:11:28,387 --> 00:11:31,891
I kicked his ass. I did it.
256
00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:34,560
I buried him. I did it.
257
00:11:34,627 --> 00:11:37,696
And you. And I cannot wait
258
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:39,965
when the day comes
and he realizes
259
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:42,368
everything is gone
and he's lost everything...
260
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:46,605
Oh, and it's over...
261
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,176
I can't wait to stand
in front of him
262
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:52,778
and tell him
263
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:55,848
who is responsible for that.
264
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:04,056
God, I wish I would have
been there.
265
00:12:04,123 --> 00:12:05,925
It was a very different Victor,
all right.
266
00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:08,461
At first I thought the bad news
was about Nicholas,
267
00:12:08,527 --> 00:12:10,729
that maybe he'd taken
a turn for the worse.
268
00:12:10,796 --> 00:12:12,064
Did you ask him about that?
269
00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:14,100
Actually, Victor volunteered
that Nick was okay,
270
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:17,236
which is another piece of proof
that he is off his game.
271
00:12:17,303 --> 00:12:19,872
-What do you mean?
-It was a very convenient lie
272
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:21,674
that he could have used
as an excuse
273
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:23,175
to get Kyle and me
out of the house,
274
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:25,244
and boy, did he want us
out of that house.
275
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:28,547
I mean, "Get out! Now! Now!"
It was crazy.
276
00:12:28,614 --> 00:12:29,949
Oh, gosh.
277
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:31,417
This was all Kyle.
278
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:34,653
This is all Kyle, and I
could not be prouder of him.
279
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,356
Having the Newmans followed
was genius.
280
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:39,492
It gave us the bargaining chip
we needed
281
00:12:39,558 --> 00:12:41,827
until I guess
we didn't need it anymore.
282
00:12:41,894 --> 00:12:43,429
Well, let's not celebrate
just yet.
283
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:45,598
No, no, I know, I know.
We are not out of the woods
284
00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:47,299
until we know exactly
what happened.
285
00:12:47,366 --> 00:12:49,869
But you said it yourself.
The earth has shifted.
286
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:53,305
Oh, come on. I feel a little
lighter right now. Don't you?
287
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:55,241
I will take out the champagne
when I know
288
00:12:55,307 --> 00:12:58,978
Jabot is back up and running
and that this threat is over.
289
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:00,913
In the meantime,
we will keep a close eye
290
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,781
on what's going on with Victor.
291
00:13:02,848 --> 00:13:04,984
What do you think
really happened?
292
00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:08,154
Kyle said he saw Victoria
going up to the main house
293
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:09,655
as we were leaving.
294
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:11,557
That means Victor
has called the troops in
295
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,159
for a family summit.
296
00:13:13,225 --> 00:13:15,027
That means it's big.
297
00:13:15,094 --> 00:13:16,428
But what is it?
298
00:13:16,495 --> 00:13:18,531
I mean, what has the Newmans
so freaked out?
299
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:20,666
I have an idea...
300
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:23,636
thanks to my little brother.
301
00:13:23,702 --> 00:13:26,839
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I got a little short.
302
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:31,477
It's just been a long
and complicated day.
303
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:34,313
Mm-hmm. Yeah. For both of us.
304
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:36,215
Yes, for both of us.
305
00:13:36,282 --> 00:13:39,018
I talked to Jack
and I told him
306
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:41,654
about the conversation
I overheard
307
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,989
with Phyllis and Cane,
and he seems to think
308
00:13:44,056 --> 00:13:46,458
that's gonna be Victor pulling
away from going after Jabot
309
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:49,862
to, uh, save his own ass.
310
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:51,764
-Mm-hmm.
-Which is--which is good.
311
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:54,200
Which I agree.
I think that'll happen.
312
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:56,268
Yeah, I know.
313
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,271
-What do you know?
-I know that already
314
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:02,875
because I overheard
the end of your conversation.
315
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:05,077
Oh. Okay.
316
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:07,346
I also heard you admit
that you were jealous
317
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,081
of Phyllis and Cane,
that they're the ones
318
00:14:09,148 --> 00:14:10,916
turning the tables on Victor
and not you.
319
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:12,351
I don't think I said that
exactly.
320
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:14,486
No, you did say--Billy,
you said it exactly like that
321
00:14:14,553 --> 00:14:16,288
because I heard you.
322
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:18,991
Okay, and why are you upset?
323
00:14:20,326 --> 00:14:22,595
Why am I upset? Seriously?
324
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:24,563
Yeah, seriously.
Why are you upset?
325
00:14:26,398 --> 00:14:28,267
I am upset...
326
00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:30,703
because I just asked you
if that was the case,
327
00:14:30,769 --> 00:14:33,973
and you swore up and down
that it wasn't.
328
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:38,177
I'm upset because you looked me
in the eye and you lied to me.
329
00:14:40,846 --> 00:14:42,915
It doesn't make any sense.
330
00:14:42,982 --> 00:14:47,353
Cane's company was slowly
being reduced to nothing.
331
00:14:47,419 --> 00:14:51,123
If he had the ability
to do something like this...
332
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:53,125
Then why the hell didn't
they strike us immediately?
333
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:54,860
Exactly.
334
00:14:54,927 --> 00:14:57,696
Are you sure he's the one
behind this?
335
00:14:57,763 --> 00:14:59,231
Along with Phyllis.
336
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:01,800
She's the one who stole
the program in the first place.
337
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:07,273
And she's angry with me.
338
00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:09,742
-Why is that?
-Doesn't make any difference.
339
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:12,177
What is important is...
340
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:15,347
they're desperate enough
to do this together.
341
00:15:15,414 --> 00:15:18,217
And why are they desperate?
Because...
342
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:20,786
Cane Ashby's company's
in shambles.
343
00:15:20,853 --> 00:15:23,322
And Phyllis can't pay
her own damn bills.
344
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:25,057
Well, you know what? I don't
care about their problems.
345
00:15:25,124 --> 00:15:26,525
But I do.
346
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:29,395
It is their desperation
that makes them work together.
347
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:32,231
But I care about ours.
348
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:34,400
I mean, what are our options?
349
00:15:34,466 --> 00:15:36,935
Do we have to shut down
Newman Enterprises
350
00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:38,671
-like Jack did Jabot?
-No.
351
00:15:38,737 --> 00:15:40,673
We're much too big for that.
352
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:44,410
We're a much bigger company
than Jabot.
353
00:15:44,476 --> 00:15:46,412
I guess this all
will come down to
354
00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:48,847
good old-fashioned negotiating.
355
00:15:48,914 --> 00:15:52,284
Well, if Cane and Phyllis
despise you,
356
00:15:52,351 --> 00:15:55,254
I doubt they will be willing
to negotiate with you.
357
00:15:56,355 --> 00:16:00,059
I don't give a damn
if they despise me or not.
358
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:01,860
When you're successful
in business,
359
00:16:01,927 --> 00:16:03,529
you have people who envy you.
360
00:16:03,595 --> 00:16:06,065
I don't give a damn about that.
361
00:16:06,131 --> 00:16:08,701
But everyone has a price.
362
00:16:09,735 --> 00:16:12,905
-What about the office?
-What office?
363
00:16:12,971 --> 00:16:15,074
Victor's office.
364
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,109
You know what office.
It's horrible.
365
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:20,179
It's dark and dreary
and he has statu--
366
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:22,681
What are those statues,
like Greek goddesses or--
367
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:25,084
Those are out.
I'm gonna redo it.
368
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:26,919
I'm gonna make it
really cheery.
369
00:16:26,985 --> 00:16:28,554
You know what I'm gonna do?
370
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:30,622
I'm gonna invite him back
so he can see it.
371
00:16:30,689 --> 00:16:32,725
-You're into this, aren't you?
-Yeah, of course!
372
00:16:32,791 --> 00:16:34,493
I am. Success is the best
revenge.
373
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,095
Okay, well,
what if I want the office?
374
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,596
You want the office?
I mean...
375
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:38,931
-I don't.
-You don't?
376
00:16:38,997 --> 00:16:40,966
-I don't want the office.
-Okay, 'cause you can have it.
377
00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:43,035
-I don't want the office.
-I just need to sage it
378
00:16:43,102 --> 00:16:44,703
to get his bad vibes
out of there.
379
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:46,538
You can do whatever you wanna do
to the office,
380
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:48,974
but if I may, I do think that
we should keep the portrait.
381
00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:50,676
Victor's?
382
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:53,345
As an homage
to the founding father.
383
00:16:53,412 --> 00:16:55,547
You wanna use it
as a dartboard?
384
00:16:55,614 --> 00:16:57,983
[both laugh]
385
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,986
[phone buzzes]
386
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:04,056
Wait, wait, wait, wait--
387
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:05,557
Ah!
388
00:17:06,925 --> 00:17:08,460
Who is it?
389
00:17:08,527 --> 00:17:10,295
You'll never guess.
390
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:12,765
Could he already know
391
00:17:12,831 --> 00:17:15,434
-that this happened?
-Who cares?
392
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:18,470
Let the Newmans sit around
and stew for a while.
393
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:23,542
[phone buzzes]
394
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:34,253
Stew away, baby.
395
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,755
Stew away.
396
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:45,264
So Phyllis and Cane
are really going after Victor?
397
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:47,032
That is what Billy told me.
398
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:49,001
Well, of course. Of course.
399
00:17:49,067 --> 00:17:51,804
Phyllis must have stolen back
Cane's AI program.
400
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:53,605
And they are using it
against Victor
401
00:17:53,672 --> 00:17:55,908
just as Victor used it
against Arabesque.
402
00:17:55,974 --> 00:17:58,076
-To destroy Newman Enterprises.
-Phyllis has the skills.
403
00:17:58,143 --> 00:17:59,711
They both have the motivation,
404
00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:01,847
and from what I saw
at Victor's tonight,
405
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:03,282
it has already started.
406
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:05,417
-[huffs] I can't believe it.
-Well, those two have been
407
00:18:05,484 --> 00:18:07,619
dancing around each other
since Nice.
408
00:18:07,686 --> 00:18:10,489
I don't think it's any stretch
to imagine they're a team now.
409
00:18:10,556 --> 00:18:12,357
Yes, that part I can believe.
410
00:18:12,424 --> 00:18:16,361
But I never thought I'd utter
this sentence in my lifetime--
411
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:17,930
Yay, Phyllis.
412
00:18:17,996 --> 00:18:21,767
Ha! Come on, you've gotta admit
it's sort of delicious,
413
00:18:21,834 --> 00:18:24,236
Victor being brought down
by his own evil plan?
414
00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:26,839
I think that deserves
some champagne.
415
00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:28,140
I will pour the bubbly,
416
00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:29,975
but we will still
keep our eye on the ball.
417
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,778
Whoever has that AI program
can target anyone--
418
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:34,313
including us.
419
00:18:34,379 --> 00:18:36,548
And that was
Cane's original plan,
420
00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:39,485
to go after all the major
companies in Genoa City.
421
00:18:39,551 --> 00:18:41,620
That is my biggest worry,
that the two of them
422
00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:45,157
are motivated enough,
angry enough to do just that.
423
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:46,658
We have to keep our guard up.
424
00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:48,126
We can't let it down
for a minute.
425
00:18:48,193 --> 00:18:51,263
Jabot could still be
in jeopardy.
426
00:18:52,364 --> 00:18:55,634
But this is fun...
427
00:18:55,701 --> 00:18:57,636
making Victor sweat.
428
00:18:57,703 --> 00:18:59,605
-Isn't it?
-It is.
429
00:18:59,671 --> 00:19:00,873
Yeah.
430
00:19:04,376 --> 00:19:06,812
Should we turn off our phones...
431
00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:08,680
give him a sleepless night?
432
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:10,182
What do you think?
433
00:19:13,085 --> 00:19:15,120
Cane.
434
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:16,255
Yeah?
435
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:17,689
Where'd you go just now?
436
00:19:17,756 --> 00:19:20,592
-Nowhere. I'm right here.
-Oh...
437
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:22,728
no, no, please.
438
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:25,764
Please, please don't be
that guy.
439
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:28,934
Please don't be moody
and brooding.
440
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:32,337
We're having too much fun.
This is too amazing. Please.
441
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:34,373
Yes. It is fun sticking it
to Victor.
442
00:19:34,439 --> 00:19:35,474
-It is!
-Yes, it is.
443
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:36,875
-Thank God for that!
-It will continue.
444
00:19:36,942 --> 00:19:38,610
Good! I'm glad.
445
00:19:39,878 --> 00:19:41,813
But I'd be lying if I--
if I didn't say
446
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,650
that there was something that
was bothering me from earlier.
447
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:48,820
Is it Billy?
448
00:19:48,887 --> 00:19:50,689
Yes.
449
00:19:53,125 --> 00:19:55,727
What?
I mean, you're upset at him
450
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:57,529
because he was
such an ass to me?
451
00:19:57,596 --> 00:19:59,831
I mean, that's just how he is.
452
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:02,267
Yeah. Look, I-I-I know Billy
pretty well,
453
00:20:02,334 --> 00:20:04,603
and I can usually see through
his bluster and anger,
454
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:08,073
and what I saw
was sadness in his eyes.
455
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:10,042
It was like he knew
what we were up to,
456
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:11,543
and it broke his heart.
457
00:20:11,610 --> 00:20:13,011
[laughing] What?
458
00:20:13,078 --> 00:20:14,880
Broke his heart?
459
00:20:14,947 --> 00:20:16,415
No.
460
00:20:16,481 --> 00:20:20,552
You're giving him way too much
credit than he deserves.
461
00:20:20,619 --> 00:20:22,354
This is what he was doing.
He was fishing.
462
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:25,290
He was poking me so I'd flip out
463
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:27,292
and reveal secrets.
464
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,194
Okay. And what if
he overheard us talking?
465
00:20:29,261 --> 00:20:30,862
Who cares if he did? Who cares?
466
00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:32,064
He can't stop us now.
467
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:34,433
Well, that's--
that's not what worries me.
468
00:20:36,101 --> 00:20:38,670
You told me that you were
always gonna be up front
469
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,672
and honest with me.
470
00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:42,708
-I have.
-No, Billy.
471
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:44,643
You haven't.
472
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:47,379
You haven't. Not this time.
And you don't get to
473
00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:49,815
pick and choose
when you tell me the truth.
474
00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:51,516
Are we--I don't--
475
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:53,685
I don't know what
we're talking about right now.
476
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:56,622
The reason I was so upset
about Adam and Chelsea's affair
477
00:20:56,688 --> 00:20:58,357
wasn't just the fact
that he cheated on me.
478
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:00,092
It was the fact
that he lied to me
479
00:21:00,158 --> 00:21:01,526
about his depth of feelings
for her.
480
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:03,695
He made me feel like
I was crazy and I was paranoid
481
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:05,130
and that I was imagining
things,
482
00:21:05,197 --> 00:21:07,199
and now you're doing
the same thing to me.
483
00:21:07,265 --> 00:21:09,368
Are you honestly--you're
comparing what Adam did to you
484
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:12,904
and what Chelsea did to me
the same as this situation?
485
00:21:12,971 --> 00:21:14,840
Sally, that is crazy.
486
00:21:14,906 --> 00:21:18,010
It's not about the depth
of the lie, Billy.
487
00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:19,911
And you cannot--
you cannot tell me
488
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:22,114
that your obsession with
getting back at Victor or Jill
489
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:23,582
hasn't been an issue for us.
490
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:26,551
I almost walked out the door
on you because of it, remember?
491
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:28,754
Yes, I remember, but can you--
my God--just give me
492
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:30,589
a little bit of a break here?
493
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:32,891
I mean, this man has had
his boot on my neck
494
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,493
my entire adult life!
495
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,994
Yes, okay?
496
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:38,764
Yes, I am happy
that that man is going down.
497
00:21:38,830 --> 00:21:41,500
Yeah, okay, I get that, I do.
That's not the point.
498
00:21:41,566 --> 00:21:43,101
Then what is the point?
499
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:47,506
The point is that you feel like
you have to hide it from me.
500
00:21:47,572 --> 00:21:49,808
That's the point.
And that you keep obsessing
501
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:52,244
over destroying people
that have wronged you.
502
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:54,346
Okay, fine. I admit it.
503
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:56,748
I wish it was me.
504
00:21:56,815 --> 00:22:00,585
God, I wish to God it was me
that took Victor down.
505
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:03,021
But I didn't do it.
506
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:05,190
Is that not enough for you?
507
00:22:05,257 --> 00:22:07,693
That's not what
this is about, Billy.
508
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:09,494
This is not.
509
00:22:09,561 --> 00:22:12,330
This is about all of the
uncomfortable conversations
510
00:22:12,397 --> 00:22:14,700
that you continue to refuse
to have with me,
511
00:22:14,766 --> 00:22:18,170
and then I continue
to have to be the one to--
512
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:21,773
To what? To do what?
513
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,443
You have to be the one...
to do what?
514
00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:29,748
It doesn't matter.
515
00:22:31,616 --> 00:22:33,518
Yes, it matters.
516
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,322
It matters because
we're talking about it, okay?
517
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:40,892
Look, you saying
that I'm the edgy one--
518
00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:42,627
honestly,
I think you have been too.
519
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:45,464
You just said you're constantly
looking over my shoulder,
520
00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:47,599
waiting for me to do what?
521
00:22:50,068 --> 00:22:53,271
I mean, are you really upset
because I had a sip of whisky?
522
00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:55,073
No, Billy.
523
00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,212
I'm not, because I don't think
you have a drinking problem.
524
00:23:01,246 --> 00:23:02,681
Good. Because I don't.
525
00:23:02,748 --> 00:23:04,916
So what are you upset about?
526
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:06,952
I think you have
an obsession problem.
527
00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:10,722
And I know that you've worked
really hard to fight it,
528
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:12,224
but this has made it
very apparent
529
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:15,494
that it doesn't take much
to pull you back in.
530
00:23:16,995 --> 00:23:19,531
I just can't believe
this is happening.
531
00:23:19,598 --> 00:23:22,267
After everything we've been
through with Nicholas and Noah
532
00:23:22,334 --> 00:23:24,936
and Matt Clark
coming back into our lives,
533
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:27,873
and now this? It's too much!
534
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:30,675
It'll all be taken care of.
535
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:34,713
Matt Clark will get
what is coming to him.
536
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:38,884
And I promise you,
we will not lose the company.
537
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:41,219
I know you wanna believe that.
538
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:44,689
-I do believe it.
-Well, normally, I would, too,
539
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,558
but that program could destroy
540
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:49,728
everything we have
spent our lives building.
541
00:23:49,795 --> 00:23:53,899
Forget Phyllis and Cane.
That is the real enemy.
542
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,376
All right, look, I know you
don't appreciate hearing it,
543
00:24:04,442 --> 00:24:06,778
but I actually care about Billy,
all right?
544
00:24:06,845 --> 00:24:09,147
It's one of the reasons
I wanted to help him
545
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:11,383
before people even knew
I was Dumas.
546
00:24:11,449 --> 00:24:13,285
-Okay. So you feel guilty.
-Yeah.
547
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:15,120
I-I don't know.
Maybe I do, okay? You know,
548
00:24:15,187 --> 00:24:16,988
-Billy's had a rough ride.
-Has he, really?
549
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:19,024
He's had a rough ride.
Well, I've had a rough ride.
550
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:21,092
Okay, well, then you should be
more sympathetic, Phyllis.
551
00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:24,329
Sympathetic to Billy?
Are you kidding me right now?
552
00:24:24,396 --> 00:24:27,365
For years, I was the only
friend that Billy had.
553
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,502
The only one!
554
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:32,771
And you know how he repaid me?
555
00:24:32,838 --> 00:24:36,007
By manipulating me
and lying to me.
556
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,410
Billy's only out for Billy.
557
00:24:38,476 --> 00:24:40,979
All right, well, why don't you
tell me how you really feel?
558
00:24:41,046 --> 00:24:43,582
You know I'm right.
You know I'm right, Cane.
559
00:24:43,648 --> 00:24:47,052
You know, he has a shiny new
toy in Abbott Communications.
560
00:24:47,118 --> 00:24:48,954
-He'll be fine.
-That's Sally's thing.
561
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:51,089
You know that. That's not
what Billy really wants.
562
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:53,892
It doesn't matter.
That's not your problem!
563
00:24:53,959 --> 00:24:56,094
He's not your brother.
564
00:24:57,529 --> 00:24:59,497
He's not.
I mean, I know you pretended
565
00:24:59,564 --> 00:25:01,199
that he was your brother
for a long time,
566
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:03,101
-but he's not your brother.
-All right, well,
567
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:05,704
you know, maybe some of that
connection rubbed off anyway.
568
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:07,172
Too bad for you then.
569
00:25:07,239 --> 00:25:09,441
He's hurting, Phyllis, okay?
570
00:25:09,507 --> 00:25:11,643
Jill kicking him out of
Chancellor broke Billy's heart,
571
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:14,346
and he pretends like it doesn't,
but deep down, it does.
572
00:25:14,412 --> 00:25:16,248
And don't even get me started
about the abuse
573
00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:18,316
that he's taken from Victor
over the years.
574
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:20,352
Okay, so what do you wanna do,
help him?
575
00:25:20,418 --> 00:25:22,287
Yeah, wanna help him.
Is that such a bad thing?
576
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:23,855
Well, it will go unrewarded.
577
00:25:23,922 --> 00:25:25,257
-I will tell you that much.
-I'm not doing it
578
00:25:25,323 --> 00:25:26,658
for the reward, Phyllis,
I'm doing it
579
00:25:26,725 --> 00:25:27,959
because I wanna help him,
all right? Simple.
580
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,327
All right, then help him.
Then do it!
581
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:31,329
I don't care. I'm out of that.
582
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:33,999
But I will guarantee you
if you help Billy,
583
00:25:34,065 --> 00:25:35,967
it'll bite you in the ass.
584
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:38,036
And you know what?
585
00:25:38,103 --> 00:25:40,372
You're gonna end up
with a broken heart.
586
00:25:41,273 --> 00:25:45,010
Can we please not let
our night end like this?
587
00:25:45,076 --> 00:25:47,012
With us talking?
588
00:25:48,146 --> 00:25:50,548
You know
that's not what I mean.
589
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:55,620
I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry if, for a second,
590
00:25:55,687 --> 00:25:58,723
I made you question
if you can trust me or not.
591
00:26:00,258 --> 00:26:02,027
But let's not turn this
into something
592
00:26:02,093 --> 00:26:03,828
that it isn't, okay?
593
00:26:03,895 --> 00:26:06,498
This is not me
turning into the man
594
00:26:06,564 --> 00:26:08,466
that almost made you
walk out the door.
595
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,602
That's not what's happening
here.
596
00:26:10,669 --> 00:26:14,139
And I apologize
for my momentary lapse
597
00:26:14,205 --> 00:26:16,341
in wanting revenge on Victor.
598
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:18,576
But that's all that was.
599
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:24,282
I just wanna make sure that your
feet are on the ground, Billy.
600
00:26:24,349 --> 00:26:26,384
Feet are on the ground.
601
00:26:26,451 --> 00:26:28,353
Solid. Right here.
602
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,655
Beside you. Okay?
603
00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:36,628
So can we please go back
to celebrating us?
604
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:41,466
I know a couple ways
we could do that.
605
00:26:41,533 --> 00:26:44,502
-One in particular.
-That's not fair.
606
00:26:44,569 --> 00:26:46,037
-What's not fair?
-You can't do that,
607
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:48,173
-what you're doing right now.
-I'm not doing anything.
608
00:26:48,239 --> 00:26:51,009
-I'm just trying to be nice.
-You're changing the subject.
609
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:53,912
Look.
610
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:56,014
I'm glad you brought this up.
611
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:59,217
Okay? I don't want anything
hanging over our heads.
612
00:27:00,852 --> 00:27:02,153
I think for, you know,
613
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,022
99% of the time,
I've been pretty good.
614
00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:06,191
I've been trying to
really show you with my words
615
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:08,760
and my actions,
so I apologize for tonight,
616
00:27:08,827 --> 00:27:11,763
and we can keep talking
about it if you want.
617
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:13,598
No problem.
618
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:17,302
But I'd much rather...do this.
619
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:33,251
How bad is it?
620
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:35,086
Our IT team can't stop it.
621
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:38,990
Tried everything.
AI program is eating us alive.
622
00:27:39,057 --> 00:27:41,126
Well, then we have to
shut down immediately!
623
00:27:41,192 --> 00:27:43,194
-Not yet.
-I actually agree with Mom
624
00:27:43,261 --> 00:27:45,196
on this one--I've already
started transferring
625
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:46,798
some of our assets offline.
626
00:27:46,865 --> 00:27:48,500
-You have?
-We've been able to
627
00:27:48,566 --> 00:27:50,168
camouflage the transfers
to make it look like
628
00:27:50,235 --> 00:27:51,503
everything's up and running,
629
00:27:51,569 --> 00:27:52,971
but we won't be able
to do that for long.
630
00:27:53,038 --> 00:27:55,573
At least, though,
it will buy us some time
631
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,275
to think of something else.
632
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,377
-What? Is there something else?
-I don't know, Mom.
633
00:27:59,444 --> 00:28:01,312
We're working as fast as we can,
634
00:28:01,379 --> 00:28:04,182
but this program is even faster.
635
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:07,052
I've never seen anything
like it.
636
00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:10,522
Your father has. Haven't you?
637
00:28:11,689 --> 00:28:15,026
You know exactly
how this will end.
638
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:25,670
I hope all this help
that you wanna give Billy...
639
00:28:27,505 --> 00:28:28,907
I hope it doesn't interfere
640
00:28:28,973 --> 00:28:31,843
with what we're doing
with Newman Enterprises.
641
00:28:31,910 --> 00:28:33,678
Yes, Phyllis.
642
00:28:33,745 --> 00:28:37,215
You have nothing to worry about.
643
00:28:37,282 --> 00:28:39,951
Okay. Well...
644
00:28:41,619 --> 00:28:45,323
What grand prize
does Billy get in all of this?
645
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,826
I don't know. I haven't...
646
00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:50,128
figured that out.
I'll let you know when I do.
647
00:28:50,195 --> 00:28:53,498
You like a mystery, right?
648
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,233
I do. Yeah.
649
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:57,869
Thought that was one of
the things you liked about me.
650
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:00,338
I don't like...
651
00:29:00,405 --> 00:29:02,540
-being in the dark.
-Yeah, but there are
652
00:29:02,607 --> 00:29:05,410
so many fun things
that you can do in the dark.
653
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:12,917
Are you trying to distract me?
654
00:29:12,984 --> 00:29:14,752
I don't know.
655
00:29:14,819 --> 00:29:16,421
Is it working?
656
00:29:47,919 --> 00:29:49,687
Hold on.
657
00:29:49,754 --> 00:29:51,523
What?
658
00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:54,826
I need you to do something
for me.
659
00:29:56,394 --> 00:29:58,930
Okay. Anything.
660
00:30:00,131 --> 00:30:02,901
I know I sound like
a broken record...
661
00:30:02,967 --> 00:30:05,803
but can you please,
please promise me
662
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:07,906
that you're not gonna obsess
anymore
663
00:30:07,972 --> 00:30:09,941
over what Victor did to you?
664
00:30:10,008 --> 00:30:11,809
Or Adam or Chelsea or Jill
665
00:30:11,876 --> 00:30:14,345
or Cane or anyone else.
Please, please, no more payback.
666
00:30:14,412 --> 00:30:16,781
Can you promise me that?
667
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:19,784
If you allow me
one more obsession.
668
00:30:19,851 --> 00:30:22,320
What?
669
00:30:22,387 --> 00:30:23,888
You.
670
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:37,569
Victor's not going to
tell us the truth.
671
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:40,004
But Nikki might.
672
00:30:40,071 --> 00:30:43,107
[scoffs] You know
how I feel about that.
673
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:46,277
-And her.
-If Newman is under attack,
674
00:30:46,344 --> 00:30:48,713
I think she'll be honest
with me.
675
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:50,915
And we need to know that.
676
00:30:50,982 --> 00:30:53,151
-I suppose.
-You suppose.
677
00:30:53,218 --> 00:30:56,321
I just hate that you
have to rely on Nikki.
678
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:58,790
But okay, okay, you're right.
679
00:30:58,856 --> 00:31:01,626
If it were me, I'd probably be
a little ticked off
680
00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:03,962
that Victor had overplayed
his hand.
681
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:08,766
And maybe that'll be enough
to drag the truth out of her.
682
00:31:08,833 --> 00:31:11,469
You know where
this is going, Victor,
683
00:31:11,536 --> 00:31:14,472
because it's already happened
to Arabesque.
684
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:16,574
It will not happen to us.
685
00:31:16,641 --> 00:31:19,143
I've set up an emergency meeting
with the department heads
686
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:20,778
to go over options.
687
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:23,047
Good. Adam?
688
00:31:24,482 --> 00:31:26,584
I can call in some favors.
689
00:31:26,651 --> 00:31:30,555
Can have the other news outlets
spin it our way.
690
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:32,290
For a while.
691
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:34,158
Good.
692
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:37,428
You all know Newman Enterprises
is too big
693
00:31:37,495 --> 00:31:40,798
to be swallowed up
or be destroyed by a little bug.
694
00:31:40,865 --> 00:31:41,966
End of story.
695
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:44,102
-I will sell it.
-Good.
696
00:31:44,168 --> 00:31:46,337
-Oh, no.
-VICTOR: What?
697
00:31:46,404 --> 00:31:48,640
What is it?
698
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:51,876
One of our divisions is--
is completely gone.
699
00:31:51,943 --> 00:31:53,578
It's wiped out.
700
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:55,246
What?
701
00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:57,081
All right, Cane Ashby.
702
00:31:57,148 --> 00:31:59,550
This ends right now.
703
00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:19,203
What are you looking for?
704
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:21,906
Oh, I was just checking
the time.
705
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:23,875
Oh, that's such a lie.
706
00:32:23,941 --> 00:32:27,045
You know what I'm doing.
707
00:32:27,111 --> 00:32:29,414
I-I just wanted to see
if it was too late
708
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,449
to go over to Victor's and...
709
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:33,918
stand there face to face
710
00:32:33,985 --> 00:32:36,654
and tell him he lost.
711
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:38,289
It's over.
712
00:32:38,356 --> 00:32:40,258
We won.
713
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:43,061
I'm sure you don't wanna
do that.
714
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,430
We can do that.
715
00:32:45,496 --> 00:32:47,699
-Really?
-Sure.
716
00:32:49,033 --> 00:32:51,502
-Uh, now?
-[both laugh]
717
00:32:51,569 --> 00:32:53,638
Why don't you go, uh,
jump in the shower?
718
00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:55,640
I'll check the progress
of our attack,
719
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:57,141
and then we can head over there.
720
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:58,443
All right, great. I'll be quick.
721
00:32:58,509 --> 00:32:59,744
Okay.
722
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:15,693
[phone buzzes]
723
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:29,140
Hello.
724
00:33:29,207 --> 00:33:30,908
Something
I wanna talk to you about.
725
00:33:30,975 --> 00:33:32,977
Can you meet me in the morning?
726
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:37,148
I am furious with your father.
727
00:33:38,349 --> 00:33:40,351
He's gonna come through, Nikki,
okay?
728
00:33:40,418 --> 00:33:42,787
-He always does--
-This is different, Adam,
729
00:33:42,854 --> 00:33:44,522
and you know it.
We've never dealt with
730
00:33:44,589 --> 00:33:46,491
anything like that AI program
before.
731
00:33:46,557 --> 00:33:48,559
And now that Dad is gone,
let's just be honest.
732
00:33:48,626 --> 00:33:51,095
We don't have any real answers
to it right now either.
733
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:52,864
And it was so unnecessary.
734
00:33:52,930 --> 00:33:55,466
It was just to punish Jack.
735
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,835
And Victor wouldn't even
trade the program
736
00:33:57,902 --> 00:33:59,937
to get Matt Clark
off the streets.
737
00:34:00,004 --> 00:34:01,806
Whoa--wh-what are you
talking about?
738
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:04,442
What happened with Matt?
739
00:34:04,509 --> 00:34:07,145
-The Abbotts found him.
-Really?
740
00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:08,946
Jack brought him over
to the house
741
00:34:09,013 --> 00:34:10,314
to make the trade
for the program.
742
00:34:10,381 --> 00:34:11,783
Victor wouldn't do it.
743
00:34:11,849 --> 00:34:13,551
Why on earth not?
744
00:34:13,618 --> 00:34:15,887
Pride. Stubbornness.
745
00:34:15,953 --> 00:34:18,523
Inability to admit
when he's wrong.
746
00:34:18,589 --> 00:34:20,491
I don't know. Take your pick.
747
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:22,126
Okay, well, to be fair to him,
748
00:34:22,193 --> 00:34:23,928
I think he was moving towards
taking the deal
749
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,164
before we learned about
the AI attack.
750
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:28,032
But now he doesn't even
have that.
751
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:29,801
The leverage is gone.
752
00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:32,103
So Jack can rest easy.
753
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:36,340
I wish I could say
the same for us.
754
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:37,775
JACK: [laughing]
755
00:34:37,842 --> 00:34:39,944
-What's so amusing?
-Oh, I don't know.
756
00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:42,213
Everything.
How quickly things change.
757
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,515
Just yesterday,
our biggest problem
758
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:48,152
was stopping Victor
from destroying Jabot.
759
00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,922
And tonight,
it's Victor who's going down,
760
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:53,291
and you can call it justice
or karma
761
00:34:53,357 --> 00:34:55,860
or anything you want,
but you know what I say?
762
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,829
Hallelujah. It's about time.
763
00:34:57,895 --> 00:34:59,797
-Don't count him out just yet.
-No, I know.
764
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:02,834
I know. That man has
more lives than a thousand cats.
765
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:04,936
But tonight, I'll be getting
a good night's sleep
766
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:07,371
and Victor probably won't,
so that's something.
767
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:10,508
Yeah. I wonder if Cane
and Phyllis will rest easy.
768
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:11,843
Are you kidding?
769
00:35:11,909 --> 00:35:14,345
If it's really the two of them
bringing down Newman,
770
00:35:14,412 --> 00:35:17,515
they'll be toasting the world,
dancing on the ceiling.
771
00:35:17,582 --> 00:35:18,916
I know I would.
772
00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:21,252
Several times
I thought I had bested Victor.
773
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:23,754
He came back meaner, nastier,
774
00:35:23,821 --> 00:35:26,357
hellbent on revenge.
775
00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:30,061
It's like a sickness with him.
The war is never over.
776
00:35:30,127 --> 00:35:33,097
I'm just not sure Cane
and Phyllis know that.
777
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:36,868
All right, you ready to go?
778
00:35:36,934 --> 00:35:38,603
I can't wait.
779
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:44,141
Oh, look at this.
780
00:35:44,208 --> 00:35:47,044
I thought I'd find
the two of you here.
781
00:35:47,111 --> 00:35:50,515
My goodness. [laughs]
782
00:35:50,581 --> 00:35:52,250
Phyllis.
783
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:55,853
You're all dressed up,
ready to go somewhere, right?
784
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,257
So, Cane,
what will it take to...
785
00:35:59,323 --> 00:36:02,193
end this madness?
