This is a joke, right?
It's not a joke.
Chancellor Industries is about to change hands once again,
but for the last time.
You really are obsessed, you know that?
I'm just telling you the truth, Cane.
No, no, what you're trying to do
is sell us a wishful bill of goods
about some sudden discovery that would put you
back in control of Katherine's company.
There's nothing wishful about this.
You know what, actually, obsession is too light of a word
-for the fixation that you have. -Yeah.
I couldn't agree more. I mean, honestly,
even though Cane was very generous to offer you a job,
I'm rescinding that offer.
I'm sorry. Are you firing me?
Yes, absolutely.
So you can return the files that you took,
vacate the premises immediately, and if you don't go quietly,
I'll have security escort you out.
BILLY: You're not getting it.
You don't have the power to fire me...
because you don't own Chancellor.
In fact, you never did.
Yeah? Then who does own it?
The Abbotts.
Well, I wonder what was so important
that Jack summoned us to his office to talk about it.
Well, I assume because he did wanna meet here...
it has to do with Jabot.
I don't know. There was something in his tone
that made me sort of feel like it was something more than that.
Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting.
ASHLEY: No worries. We just got here.
-What's going on? -Uh...
I don't even know where to start.
Is it Diane? Has something--
No, no, Diane's fine.
Nothing happened. Well, nothing happened to us.
So is it Jabot? Has it not bounced back
the way you thought it would?
Jabot is, indeed, on solid ground.
We, as a family, may be richer than we thought.
The problem there is that new wealth
could come at great personal expense.
♪♪
Thank you for agreeing to meet.
I know how crazed you must be
getting used to your new post at Memorial.
Taking over as Chief of Staff
has actually gone smoother than I expected.
Besides, I can always make time for a friend.
I appreciate that.
So what's going on, Nate?
Your message was pretty cryptic.
Yeah, about that. I wanted to meet here
and not at the hospital because it's kinda personal.
Potentially life-changing, in fact.
I'm listening.
Not too long ago, you told me about a colleague,
an orthopedic surgeon.
Yeah. I'd spoken to her
about reversing the injury to your hand.
She's developed a new procedure.
That has had great success.
I've done some research of my own.
Are you thinking about having the surgery?
I am.
And if everything goes well,
I'm considering a return to medicine.
Wow, Nate, that's...
that's wonderful news.
-It hasn't happened yet. -Yeah.
But you're thinking about it, and that's a start.
But I'm a little confused.
Last time we spoke about it, you were pretty adamant
that your career as a surgeon was behind you.
What changed your mind?
You did.
I am sure that you believe
you found some-- some smoking gun, Billy,
and I'm not surprised, because ever since
Jill sold that company out from under you,
you've been on a mission to try to find some loophole
that you could manipulate
to wrest back control of the company.
Well, it turns out my relentlessness paid off.
-No. You're delusional. -I'm not making this up, Cane.
You're a spoiled brat, Billy, who's throwing a temper tantrum
because you didn't get what you want,
-and I'm tired of it. -I would actually love to hear
why you think the Abbotts own Chancellor.
Look.
I get it, okay? It's a tough pill to swallow.
For both of you. And I was skeptical at first,
but I was able to find irrefutable proof that
my family are the sole owners of Chancellor Industries,
and by the end of the day, we will have the ammo
to take full possession.
Do you know how absurd you sound?
What I know is that you were right earlier.
It is time to vacate the premises,
except that won't be me leaving.
It'll be you two.
What did I do to change your mind?
Having a front row seat to how you helped Malcolm.
You have such a passion for what you do, it...
made me realize how much I miss it.
Glad I could be an inspiration.
I mean, not only to me. Look, I still have a connection
to all the folks down at the hospital,
and the way they go on about you--
your energy, your optimism...
you have literally breathed new life into that place.
Sounds like you've been checking up on me, Nate Hastings.
[laughing]
Given the fact that I was the one
who recommended you for the job,
I had to be sure you were making me look good.
I hope I didn't disappoint.
Are you kidding me?
I'm a hero to those folks because of you.
That's kind of you to say.
Truth be told, I was also looking out for you.
I know from my experience as chief of surgery
not everyone at that hospital knows how to play nice.
Well, I just kill the malcontents with kindness.
Works every time.
I will keep that in mind.
So let's get back to the surgery.
Are you sure you wanna pursue it?
If it gives me a chance to do what I love, I am all in.
But you have to keep in mind
the percentage of patients that don't see improvement.
Now, it's small, but...
I shouldn't get my hopes up.
I should wait and see what happens.
Time will be the judge.
I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten that part of the job.
I've done my fair share of tempering high expectations
over the years. I know the drill.
I just don't want you to be disappointed,
especially now that you realize this is what you really want.
I'm not sure I ever stopped wanting it.
But don't worry. If I do fall into that small percentage,
I will survive.
I had to give up medicine before. I can do it again.
We won't know until we take that first step.
Are you ready to get started?
Very.
If Phillip Chancellor didn't pay back the loan
Dad made to him all those years ago,
Billy alleges, according to the agreement,
Chancellor now belongs to the heirs of John Abbott.
You're saying that we own Katherine's company?
According to Billy, we do.
[laughs, stammers] I don't understand any of this.
Oh, you are not the only one.
I don't understand why our father
failed to mention this to us.
And I found absolutely no evidence of this.
When I was doing that deep dive
into our family history-- nothing.
Obviously, Billy must have some evidence
-to back this up, right? -He has the loan documents.
And you have seen them?
I have. So has Kyle.
Wait a second. Okay. Just... so you mean to tell me
that these documents have been in a vault
or just a file cabinet at Chancellor all these decades?
-Apparently so. -I mean, imagine how different
so many lives would have been
if our family had owned Chancellor all these years.
According to Billy, it was and still is our company.
We just didn't know it.
Just another shocking footnote into the life of our father!
Oh, I'm afraid it's more than a footnote.
Kyle is meeting right now with our attorneys
to determine whether these old loan documents
are valid or enforceable.
No. No. You are not actually trying to pursue legal action
to take Chancellor?
You can't take what is already yours.
The question is, do we want to pursue the fight to prove this?
And my answer is a solid no.
Yeah, I agree.
Unfortunately, our little brother feels otherwise.
That's why he is now eager and ready
to take Chancellor for his own.
You're not gonna get away with this.
I'm not leaving, and neither is Cane.
Okay, well, I guess we'll see about that.
You have no evidence to back any of this up,
and I wouldn't believe anything that you did offer anyway.
Look, I get it, okay?
I understand. Your head's spinning right now.
But I promise you, everything is real here,
and the documents are being drawn up as we speak.
Yeah, who'd you bribe to fabricate those?
Or is it AI?
AI. That is your M.O., isn't it?
Trust me, when you get the documents, you will see
that this is very much legit,
and it'll be very detailed for you.
Of course, I can give you the abridged version
-if you'd like to hear that. -Sure. We'd love to hear that.
Okay, well, this was quite some time ago, but, um...
[clears throat] my father, John Abbott,
bailed out a floundering Chancellor Industries.
At the time, Phillip Chancellor was the CEO
and he agreed to a deal.
If the loan wasn't paid back in full within the time frame,
then Chancellor Industries would then be owned
by John Abbott or his heirs.
Unfortunately, Phillip Chancellor died
before he was able to repay the loan
and my father died before he was able to collect,
therefore, the loan went unpaid
and Chancellor Industries belongs to us.
-This is just--it's crazy. -It's not so crazy.
My father took a gamble, and turns out, he won.
Okay, well, I think I've heard enough.
Look, this is a lot, okay?
And I have been in your position multiple times.
You know, you get the power to take over
an amazing legacy company like Chancellor Industries,
and you have a vision,
you have a plan of what you wanna do with it.
You know, the ability to really do something great with it,
and then just like that, it's gone.
it's soul-crushing, isn't it?
Yeah. That's what this is about, isn't it, Billy?
You're still bitter about that.
See, I thought that you were past it, but you're not.
Instead, now you're spinning this elaborate tale
of fake loans and unpaid debts just to get back what you lost.
You can think whatever you want, okay? I have truth on my side.
The truth, Billy?
I mean, this is sad.
Whatever you think you dug up
that gives you the rights to Chancellor, Billy, you're wrong.
That's the irony in all this.
Once I'm running Chancellor again,
it'll finally be in the right hands.
-This cannot be happening. -It's not gonna happen.
-I won't let it. -You two are unbelievable.
How many times did I have to hear,
every time that this company changed possession,
that "This is what Katherine wanted"?
Every single moment. It was as if I was encouraged
or urged or forced to believe
that she was pulling the strings from heaven above.
It's ironic to me that the truth was actually buried
in the basement for no one to find.
I guess my obsession, is what you called it,
turned out to be more of an intuition.
Look, I would say I'm sorry about this,
but that would be disingenuous.
Because what I really wanna say is
it's about damn time.
I honestly can't even believe what I'm hearing.
-If Katherine were here-- -Katherine would read
the documents and realize
that she has to hand over the company to the Abbotts.
I tell you what--Katherine Katherine wouldn't give up
without a fight.
Even if Phillip never repaid John,
Katherine would have made good on the loan--I'm sure of it.
Oh, I agree. If she knew about it. I don't think she did.
How could she not have known about it?
Katherine was an amazing woman. There's no question about that.
But she wasn't exactly a savvy corporate power player.
She inherited the company. She was learning on her feet.
Maybe she didn't read the contract.
Maybe she didn't read the fine print.
Okay, and you have proof that this loan was never repaid?
My lawyers are double-checking into my father's bank accounts.
You don't have any proof, do you, Billy?
-Don't worry. We will. -Yeah, you better.
Because I don't buy any of this.
There's no way that John would take Chancellor from Katherine.
Look...
even if my father agreed
not to follow through with the agreement in principle,
the contract was never terminated, okay?
I don't know if maybe he thought Katherine was gonna pay it back
or he just left it alone.
Bottom line is
the loan was never paid back.
A truth that was meant to stay buried...
until I found it.
ASHLEY: It's a lot to take in.
We own Chancellor Industries.
But I think that Billy's blind obsession
is the real problem here.
And I just can't believe that Billy was able
to find this decades-old agreement
between our father and Phillip Chancellor.
It is concerning, to say the least.
Can you think of a way to convince him
-to step back from this? -Oh, believe me, I have tried.
To no avail.
Well, I hate us going after a company
that we don't even need,
that has absolutely no connection to our family.
And, as a close friend of Lily and of Cane,
I know what this will do to them.
It will devastate them to lose Chancellor.
Billy is so determined to right this supposed wrong,
he hasn't given any thought to how this impacts anyone else.
In his mind, he finally gets to claim
what should always have been his.
His words, not mine.
-Who else knows about this? -We have no idea.
We don't even know if Katherine knew about this arrangement.
Billy is convinced that Jill did know
-and consciously kept it buried. -Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You mean that...that's why
she sold the company out from under him?
So that he would never find out?
Well, that's what Billy believes,
and frankly, I would not put it above her, Jill,
keeping this secret.
Think about it. If Billy did know about it...
Jill would be stripped of everything
that made her a player in this town.
And Billy also believes that's why she sold it to Victor,
to ensure her status
and to protect that secret from ever getting out.
Wow. I mean, we all know what it's like, right,
to have a mother that values her business reputation
more than her own children?
And I really hope that we don't
dredge any of that back up again.
I'm just grateful we were all able to make peace with Dina
before she passed away.
I don't think there's going to be any peace for Jill and Billy.
They've always had a tough time of it,
but this new discovery is only going to intensify that.
Just think, though. This could be so meaningful for Billy.
I mean, I know what it meant to me
to have the patents that Dad left me.
I mean, it was everything.
This could be a final gift from a father to his son
that he was really hard on.
Now, I understand Billy deserved it, but still...
The difference is Dad didn't leave this only for Billy.
As far as we're concerned,
maybe Dad wanted to keep this secret buried with him,
and now he's got a son who's bound and determined
to dig up that grave no matter who gets hurt by it.
I have to admit, I have a not-so-hidden agenda here.
-Is that right? -[laughter]
Calling my colleague to arrange the operation
would not only benefit you.
If the surgery is successful, it'll help me too.
That is, if you consider rejoining the surgical team
at Memorial.
You did ask me that once before.
And you told me that you shut the door on your medical career.
And now that you're rethinking that
and I'm looking to expand the surgery department...
-My God, you are relentless. -[laughter]
-It's my job to woo top talent. -Top talent, huh?
Wow. No pressure there.
Only if you say no.
How could I when you have done nothing
but extend yourself for me?
In that case, I'd like to take you to lunch
to celebrate the possibility of you coming to the fold.
Society okay?
I have a better idea.
How about we celebrate that possibility here
where I can cook for you?
-You can cook? -I get by.
If getting by means popping open a jar of spaghetti sauce
or a cup of instant noodles,
I think we should stick with Society.
Oh, my gosh. You gotta give me a little more credit than that!
Even though I did survive off both of those things
-back in med school. -Mm-hmm.
I have honed my skills since then, all right?
So sit back, relax,
and prepare to be impressed.
You are raising my expectations.
Do I look worried?
Stephanie Simmons here. Remember the conversation we had
about the surgeon who injured his hand
and had to give up medicine?
Well, I'd love to discuss the possibility of surgery for him.
Call me when you get this.
I just left a message for my surgeon friend.
Hopefully, we can hear from her.
-Oh, really? Thank you. -You're welcome.
You need any help in there?
I make a mean pot of boiling water.
Ha ha. Naw, naw, I got it covered.
You like the Chicago Bulls?
Bulls game every chance I get.
Let me guess. You're a knicks fan.
No way. Brooklyn Nets all day.
What? Brooklyn Nets?
Interesting.
Why interesting?
Have they ever won a title?
Next year. Next year will be their year.
-Sure it will. -Ah, watch it...
[both laughing]
How do you think Devon will feel about you leaving Winters?
Devon already knows, and, uh, he's pretty supportive.
Wasn't he responsible for the injury to your hand?
You know, uh...
it was a tumultuous time for everyone involved.
I'm hoping, if this surgery is successful,
Devon and I can put that behind us.
I hope so too.
For both your sakes.
Billy has so much positive going on in his life right now.
He's engaged to an amazing woman who clearly loves him,
who's been a great influence on him.
He has his baby coming and...
I just thought he would find the kind of contentment
that might put this obsession with Chancellor to rest.
I just think we didn't realize how much damage Jill has done
by unseating Billy and selling the company to Victor,
no matter how far we thought he was past it, obviously.
Billy's need to prove himself is the forefront of all of it.
Look, I understand that it's really frustrating
that Billy won't let this go, but clearly,
he needs to run Chancellor to feel complete, Jack.
Why can't he feel complete working at our father's company?
You know why!
-What, Jill? -No! You.
Me? What do I have to do with this?
You run Jabot.
He doesn't wanna work under Cane who runs Chancellor.
He wants something of his own. He wants autonomy.
Is that really so difficult to understand?
It sounds like you almost condone what Billy is doing.
Is that true?
Are you siding with Billy on this?
I didn't come here for a fight. I really didn't.
I didn't expect to drop the bombshell when I came here.
I didn't even know you were here.
Yeah, well, when you saw us,
you couldn't wait to get in our faces.
Yeah, you were clearly very excited
to share your little discovery with us.
I didn't expect to go public with this,
not until the documents are drawn up.
Why, because you're such a considerate guy?
Look, it's a lot more than I got
when I got screwed out of Chancellor both times, okay?
That's not true. I alerted you before the Newman takeover.
You mean when you caved to Victor
in order to try and win Lily back?
Yeah, I tried to make it right, didn't I?
-I offered you a job, Billy. -You threw me a cheap bone,
again, to look good in Lily's eyes.
Are you kidding? Cane went to bat for you
when I didn't wanna hire you.
And he has been defending you right up until this point.
And if you think that I'm gonna thank you
for giving us fair warning when it's very clear
that you're enjoying trying to throw a wrench in our plans...
Guys, I am simply following through
on a good faith loan made among friends, okay?
There's no malice here.
Except for maybe on my mother's side,
but I'll deal with that another time.
Okay, Billy, don't you think it's weird
that Jill would know about this and no one else did?
Yeah, I do. But she made it very clear
that there was a secret inside Chancellor
that she did not want me to know.
-And why would she care? -Because...
if she lost the company,
if this news came out when she owned it,
she would lose everything, okay, and she didn't wanna risk that,
so she sold it to Victor.
I'm not saying she didn't care about it.
But if she was gonna lose it,
she might as well get a payday out of it.
In the meantime, screw over her son.
You know, it's further proof
that the woman you think is so generous and kind,
my beloved mother,
is only out for herself.
I cannot believe you made another med school staple--
grilled cheese.
Just wait until you taste my tomato soup.
It's a two-course meal.
Three if you count dessert.
You should have warned me.
-I would have saved room. -[laughter]
So what's your secret ingredient?
I can't tell you that.
A chef never tells?
A doctor never admits how much butter he uses.
Should I check my cholesterol now?
No, no. It's the good kind.
Your patients...they must have enjoyed your sense of humor.
Maybe they will again.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
One thing about medicine.
We both know that's not always true.
Yes. No promises.
But the fact that you're willing to try--that's everything.
You know, I...I thought my will for it was gone.
I was wrong.
I'm just hoping your friend is willing to take me on.
Well, at least we know you have a backup career.
Winters.
I was thinking culinary school.
[laughter]
You know, um...
I started cooking when I stopped being a surgeon.
I needed to do something with my hands.
I may not be able to make an incision with a scalpel,
but I am mean when it comes to a chef knife.
Let me see your hand.
The tendon between your thumb and index finger was lacerated?
They repaired it but, uh, there was some nerve damage.
Never quite got my full range of motion back.
[phone rings]
Oh.
Hi.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I don't know what to believe.
But I know that if you're gonna use this supposed discovery
just to trash Jill, then I don't wanna have any part of it.
I have some business to discuss with Holden
and this table's already a little crowded, so...
would you like to join me?
Uh, why don't you go, 'cause I'd like a word with Billy alone.
That's a smart move to release Cane from this conversation.
Look, Lily, I know you're upset, but you're rational, okay?
I'm not asking you to leave the office today or tomorrow
or anything like that.
"Leave the office"?
Do you really think that I'm just gonna
cave in to your delusions without a fight?
I think you're smart enough, and when you see the proof,
you'll realize that this is a fight that you cannot win.
I don't see anything... except for your smug face
telling us what you want to be true.
Okay.
Well, it's true, whether you believe it or not.
I'm warning you, Billy,
that if you go through with this
you're gonna lose everything that matters to you.
I promise you that.
[phone rings]
I know I just asked you yesterday but, uh,
any updates on the archives that Billy was looking into?
I, uh, I haven't found anything.
But I saw you talking to Billy just now.
Did something happen that I should know about?
Yeah, Billy claims that he found documentation about Chancellor
that could bring us all down.
Did your boss give you the bad news yet or not?
Bad news?
I mean, he hasn't told you that your job at Chancellor
is no longer until we can figure out what's going on here?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what does that--
what does that mean? What the hell is going on?
Do you wanna do the honors, or would you like me to?
HAYLEY: Could you please relax?
I am not enlisting in Billy's war to reclaim Chancellor,
and I'm certainly not condoning his obsessive behavior.
I'm just saying I understand what's behind it.
Yeah. I'm glad I don't have to fight both of you.
I don't think you should fight anybody.
Let Billy handle this with Cane and Lily on his own.
What, you--you don't think I should do anything?
Just let our brother continue on this dangerous trajectory
and not even try to stop him.
Nobody's gonna stop Billy from proceeding down this path,
not even you, and if you try,
it's just gonna add tension between the two of you.
-Do you really want that? -Help me here, Traci.
Please explain to my sister it is not in my nature
to watch anyone in this family walk into a burning building
and not try to stop them!
No, this is not just anyone, Jack.
It's Billy. It's our Billy.
How many times have you stepped in and tried to advise him,
keep him from being his own worst enemy,
only to have him charge ahead and do exactly what he wants?
Shutting you out in the process?
And we understand that you're trying to protect our brother
from himself.
Billy's gonna do what Billy's gonna do.
Look, I hear what both of you are saying.
I'm trying to stay involved not just because of Billy.
He is not our father's only heir.
We three have some say in how this plays out.
Jack--okay. What if we do go with majority rule
and we order Billy to back off?
Do you think he's gonna stop fighting?
He will not, because he's desperate.
And that desperation could end up damaging our father's legacy.
Think about this. Billy takes this all the way.
He debates the merits of this loan,
the repercussions, the accounting practices
from 50 years ago--who knows what kind of mud gets slung?
And I am not gonna let Billy ruin our father's reputation
so that he can claim a victory.
That's why I have to stop him before he goes too far!
Nate understands the surgery isn't guaranteed
to reverse the injury to his hand,
but he's willing to take the risk.
Would you be willing, after your conference in Chicago,
to take a side trip to Genoa City to meet with him?
Great. I'll make all the arrangements.
Thank you. Nate's looking forward to meeting you too.
See you soon.
Okay. You are all set.
The surgeon will fly in from Chicago for the consultation,
and you two will take it from there.
Wow.
I can't believe it. It's...it's really happening.
The ball is definitely in motion.
You have no idea how much I appreciate this.
You know what? I think I do.
What does she need before the consultation?
She has my medical records, right?
Yes, I got her everything
since she developed the technique for the surgery.
She thinks you're an excellent candidate, too.
I hope so. [laughs]
Now that I've finally admitted to myself
how much I wanna go back to medicine...
man, that's--I just wanna get it started now!
And if the surgery is successful...
You will be back in the O.R.
wowing the world with your talent once again.
Clearly, Traci and I care about our father's reputation as well
and if push came to shove, we would step in.
But I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say that
I think Traci and I are more concerned about you right now
than we are Billy.
Me? Why?
You are still recovering
from some pretty traumatic emotional and physical wounds.
You do not need stress like this.
And you don't need another fight,
especially with somebody you love.
You know, I recently promised myself
I was not going to get in any more battles
with too high an emotional cost.
Thought I was talking about Victor.
Who knew I was talking about my own brother?
Yeah, I think you need to back away from both of them
for your own health and well-being, please.
You know, if you step back, maybe Billy will follow.
You're right. I don't need this.
No, you don't.
I have just spent the last few months
fighting for my life and my marriage.
Diane and I are not... [choking up]
where we were before.
We will be.
I don't need this.
If Billy wants to fight, that's his choice.
Just as it is my choice...
to decide to walk away.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Are you really as obsessively power hungry as you seem?
I mean, come on, man. That's rich, coming from you.
You're actually starting to piss me off.
You're the one who pretended to be Aristotle Dumas,
determined to take over every major company in this city.
I offered you hope, Billy.
A future.
And Lily's right. I defended you. I had your back.
Why would you have to have my back?
I haven't even started the job yet.
It didn't matter.
Lily sensed that you were gonna be a problem
as soon as she knew that you were fixated
on finding some secret that didn't exist.
I told her that I thought that we could make it work.
I convinced her. I told her how good it made me feel
to offer you a job, how I thought that
once you got into the company that you would find peace.
I begged her.
She finally agreed, and you made a fool of me, Billy.
I appreciate you having my back.
I really do.
But I guess fate had other plans.
I think you can rest easy, Cane,
knowing that I found hope and a future.
It just turned out to be better than the one you were offering.
[phone rings]
Cane.
Can we meet, Jack? It's urgent.
Uh, I'm at my office now.
I'll be right there.
Well, I guess Billy has launched his attack.
Oh, God.
-So the bloodbath begins. -Yeah.
Cane sounded very defensive.
I'm not sure I could pull out of this now if I wanted to.
Well, I'll see you two later.
I'll let you know how this all works out.
He thinks we're going someplace.
-We're not going anywhere. -No.
Stephanie, I cannot thank you enough.
-Nothing's happened yet. -What are you talking about?
You pushed me to the front of the line. That is huge.
It's a start. But one day at a time.
I know. And I shouldn't get too optimistic,
but I just-- I just got this feeling
that it's all gonna work out.
Like they say in basketball,
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
That's a hockey quote. Wayne Gretzky.
Go, Rangers?
-Don't you mean go, Blackhawks? -[laughs] Look,
we are gonna have to agree to disagree about sports teams.
Okay. How 'bout I take you to a hockey game
or a basketball game to show you my appreciation
for how much you've done for me.
Maybe I'll let you.
Though, after that lunch...
I wouldn't mind you making another meal for me.
I could do that.
Hey, did Cane leave?
He--he did.
Okay, well, I was hoping to catch him again,
but I'm actually glad I found you instead.
What's up?
Well, I'm gonna go to war with Billy Abbott,
and I'll need all the allies I can get.
So...are you with me?
[knock on door]
-Should I wait outside? -My sisters were here
when you called. They'd like to stay.
That's not a problem.
I'm especially happy to see you, Traci.
I've always considered you to be
the voice of reason in your family.
-Ah. [laughs] -Ashley and I can be
-somewhat reasonable as well. -Occasionally.
Yeah? How 'bout your brother?
I'm sure you heard what he's up to already.
We have heard.
This is insanity, Jack.
Now, before this gets any uglier,
I need to urge the three of you
to do whatever you can to stop him.
Because if Billy moves forward with this...
we will all regret it.
