1
00:00:10,176 --> 00:00:12,545
>> Sally: Good morning.
2
00:00:12,612 --> 00:00:14,013
>> Victoria: Oh, yes, it is,
isn't it?
3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,249
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
4
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:18,651
I hope you don't have to rush
back to the office, because we
5
00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:21,588
didn't really get a chance to
speak yesterday.
6
00:00:21,654 --> 00:00:24,190
>> Victoria: Well, I might have
a little time now.
7
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:25,158
Shall we?
8
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:27,627
>> Sally: Yeah, thank you.
9
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:30,663
>> Victoria: How are you
settling into your role as COO
10
00:00:30,730 --> 00:00:32,365
of Newman Media?
11
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:35,301
>> Sally: I'm...thrilled.
12
00:00:35,368 --> 00:00:37,837
I'm excited to prove to everyone
that I am the right person for
13
00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:39,472
the job.
14
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:42,342
>> Victoria: Well, Ashland and I
cannot wait to see what you can
15
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:43,443
do.
16
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:45,345
>> Sally: Would you like a
preview?
17
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:47,013
>> Victoria: Sure, go ahead.
18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,281
>> Sally: Okay.
19
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:50,884
Adam and I have some ideas for
audience growth.
20
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:53,820
We intend to leverage our newly
expanded customer base by
21
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,689
up-selling them on our other
platforms, and I have been
22
00:00:56,756 --> 00:00:59,793
working with the chief marketing
officers of Newman Media and
23
00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:03,897
ChancComm to create an
integrated strategy.
24
00:01:03,963 --> 00:01:06,433
>> Victoria: Interesting.
25
00:01:06,499 --> 00:01:09,302
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
That word can mean a lot of
26
00:01:09,369 --> 00:01:10,170
things.
27
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,839
Are you more surprised or
disappointed?
28
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,274
>> Victoria: Why would I be?
29
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:15,508
>> Sally: I don't know.
30
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:18,511
Maybe you thought I wouldn't do
my homework or I wouldn't have
31
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:21,881
any original or thoughtful
ideas.
32
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:23,783
>> Victoria: Well, you know, you
certainly are making a lot of
33
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:26,319
assumptions, considering that
you barely know me.
34
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,721
>> Sally: I think I have a
pretty firm grasp of the dynamic
35
00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:31,224
of the situation.
36
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:38,531
You've been betting on me to
fail.
37
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,668
>> Victor: Hey, son.
38
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:45,672
>> Adam: [ Clears throat ]
Well, thank you for meeting me
39
00:01:45,738 --> 00:01:48,007
here.
40
00:01:48,074 --> 00:01:51,344
I've got, like, a million things
to do today, so I just wanted to
41
00:01:51,411 --> 00:01:53,880
get this out of the way.
42
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,482
>> Victor: Uh-huh.
43
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:57,784
And what would "this" be?
44
00:01:57,851 --> 00:02:00,019
>> Adam: Very important news.
45
00:02:00,086 --> 00:02:01,221
>> Victor: What's that?
46
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:02,322
Is it about Ashland?
47
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:03,656
>> Adam: No.
48
00:02:03,723 --> 00:02:09,395
And I will not have anything to
report on him in the future.
49
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:11,798
That's what I wanted to tell
you.
50
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:14,200
That I'm not gonna be your spy.

>> Lily: Oh, my gosh, I'm so
sorry for the mess.
56
00:02:51,037 --> 00:02:53,039
>> Nate: Hey, I'm family, not
company.
57
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:55,375
And it's my fault for not
letting you know I was stopping
58
00:02:55,441 --> 00:02:56,276
by.
59
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:57,877
>> Lily: No, please, you can
come any time.
60
00:02:57,944 --> 00:03:02,015
Um, so, what's going on?
61
00:03:02,081 --> 00:03:04,584
>> Nate: Well, there's something
I'm working through, and I
62
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:05,919
thought I'd bounce it off you.
63
00:03:05,985 --> 00:03:08,821
>> Lily: Yeah, of course, I'm
all ears.
64
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:11,958
>> Nate: I am thinking of
stepping down as chief of
65
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:13,426
surgery.
66
00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:14,661
>> Lily: What?
67
00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:16,563
You just made it to the top of
the food chain, now you want to
68
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:17,030
leave?
69
00:03:17,096 --> 00:03:20,133
I mean, what for?
70
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:32,178
>> Nate: I'm thinking of going
to work for Newman/Locke.
71
00:03:32,245 --> 00:03:33,780
>> Billy: Hey, there.
72
00:03:33,846 --> 00:03:37,417
Mind if I join you?
73
00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:39,118
>> Ashland: You are free to sit
wherever you like.
74
00:03:39,185 --> 00:03:42,221
>> Billy: [ Groans ]
So what's on the agenda for this
75
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:43,356
beautiful day?
76
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:46,559
>> Ashland: [ Sighs ]
>> Billy: Uh-oh, are you having
77
00:03:46,626 --> 00:03:50,697
a hard time trying to figure out
what to eat for breakfast?
78
00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:55,368
You look like a villain in a
superhero movie, planning world
79
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:56,603
domination.
80
00:03:56,669 --> 00:04:00,573
Or maybe you're just plotting
your next move at Newman/Locke.
81
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,641
>> Ashland: "Plotting"?
82
00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:05,411
Well, that sounds a lot like an
accusation.
83
00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:08,982
>> Billy: Well, I hear your
medical situation is improving.
84
00:04:09,048 --> 00:04:11,150
Congratulations on that.
85
00:04:11,217 --> 00:04:13,453
But I got to believe that you're
trying to figure out what to do
86
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:17,357
next with this future that you
didn't expect to have, and I'm a
87
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:19,993
bit of a betting man, but I'm
gonna say that you are itching
88
00:04:20,059 --> 00:04:23,963
to get a lot more control out of
your wife's company.
89
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:28,301
Get a lot more Locke in
Newman/Locke.
90
00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:39,979
>> Victoria: Frankly, I wasn't
sure what you would be bringing
91
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:43,583
to the table, given your
background -- or your lack
92
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:44,851
thereof.
93
00:04:44,917 --> 00:04:49,288
>> Sally: Well, I'm not exactly
new to running a business.
94
00:04:49,355 --> 00:04:51,824
>> Victoria: Well, you should
know that while I didn't view
95
00:04:51,891 --> 00:04:54,227
you as the obvious candidate for
this position, I never
96
00:04:54,293 --> 00:04:57,497
questioned or challenged Adam on
his choice.
97
00:04:57,563 --> 00:05:00,333
>> Sally: I suspect that was a
calculated move.
98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,302
Since Victor insisted that Adam
stay on as CEO, probably didn't
99
00:05:03,369 --> 00:05:06,072
want to create any conflict
right out the gate by rejecting
100
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:08,608
one of Adam's first major
decisions.
101
00:05:08,675 --> 00:05:11,144
And you probably thought that
your father would hand me my
102
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:15,615
pink slip and punish Adam for
his choice, but, surprise,
103
00:05:15,682 --> 00:05:17,283
he didn't.
104
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:20,453
>> Victoria: Where would you get
that idea?
105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,456
>> Sally: Woman to woman, I
think it's fair that you know
106
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:26,359
that I'm not operating under any
illusions.
107
00:05:26,426 --> 00:05:30,596
Hell, if I were in your shoes,
I would be skeptical, too.
108
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:34,767
>> Victoria: You did design a
very beautiful wedding gown, but
109
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:38,571
outside of that, I'm really very
uncertain of your skill-set.
110
00:05:38,638 --> 00:05:40,640
>> Sally: I'm used to being
under-appreciated.
111
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:41,908
This is not new.
112
00:05:41,974 --> 00:05:45,778
I like proving people wrong and
leaving their assumptions about
113
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,647
me in the dust.
114
00:05:47,714 --> 00:05:51,517
>> Victoria: Well, you obviously
won over Adam very quickly at
115
00:05:51,584 --> 00:05:52,485
Newman Media.
116
00:05:52,552 --> 00:05:55,354
He's very enthusiastic about
you.
117
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:59,659
And you are obviously very
confident about your abilities,
118
00:05:59,726 --> 00:06:03,930
but you're gonna have to do a
lot more than talk a good game.
119
00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:05,665
>> Sally: Oh, I can back it up.
120
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,667
I've earned my place.
121
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:10,903
I have had to fight for every
opportunity that I've ever had,
122
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:14,207
so I will pour myself, body and
soul, into making Newman Media
123
00:06:14,273 --> 00:06:16,375
an unequivocal success.
124
00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:19,045
And in the process, you will
learn something very important
125
00:06:19,112 --> 00:06:21,748
about me -- that I am just as
resilient and determined as my
126
00:06:21,814 --> 00:06:23,683
new partner, Adam.
127
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:26,853
We are a match made in heaven.
128
00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:29,789
Professionally speaking.
129
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:30,590
>> Victoria: I see.
130
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:34,227
Well, is this also a personal
match?
131
00:06:34,293 --> 00:06:38,164
Because, you know, woman to
woman, I sense that there's
132
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:42,068
something more going on between
you and Adam than just
133
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:44,137
strategizing for the company.
134
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:51,144
>> Victor: Where is all this
coming from?
135
00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:55,782
Yesterday, you assured me you
wouldn't mind observing
136
00:06:55,848 --> 00:07:02,188
Ashland Locke, see if he
displayed some unusual behavior.
137
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:05,124
>> Adam: No, I never actually
told you that I would help you
138
00:07:05,191 --> 00:07:06,726
spy on him.
139
00:07:06,793 --> 00:07:08,561
Though I will admit I did give
you that impression when you
140
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:09,929
left here.
141
00:07:09,996 --> 00:07:11,164
>> Victor: Why would you do
that?
142
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:15,935
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
I took the path of least
143
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:18,070
resistance, okay?
144
00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:21,307
But I can no longer do that,
because I don't want to get
145
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:23,943
wrapped up in a no-win situation
with you and Victoria and
146
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:27,547
Ashland, especially since they
already resent having to work
147
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:28,748
with me.
148
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:30,950
Much more important things to
worry about, like running this
149
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:33,252
company that you funded for me.
150
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,855
And then you sold to
Newman/Locke because I
151
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:37,056
disappointed you.
152
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:43,296
>> Victor: And I had my reasons,
which I won't get into now.
153
00:07:43,362 --> 00:07:45,398
Let me ask you something.
154
00:07:45,464 --> 00:07:49,035
Why would I ask you to continue
as CEO if I didn't have faith in
155
00:07:49,101 --> 00:07:50,903
your abilities?
156
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:53,639
>> Adam: My issue is that you
will not let me do my job
157
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,542
because you suddenly don't trust
Ashland.
158
00:07:56,609 --> 00:07:58,044
>> Victor: Because I have my
reasons.
159
00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:01,914
>> Adam: Yes, you have some
theory that he is mysteriously
160
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:05,518
faking his condition and his
illness and treatment.
161
00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:09,722
>> Victor: Listen to me very
carefully.
162
00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:13,326
Ashland Locke cannot be trusted.
163
00:08:13,392 --> 00:08:17,563
Not about his cancer diagnosis,
not about his marriage to my
164
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:21,500
daughter, not about the merger.
165
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:24,303
>> Adam: Look, I know that you
think I should feel honored that
166
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:26,706
you're coming to me to do the
heavy lifting on this.
167
00:08:26,772 --> 00:08:30,776
>> Victor: You don't understand
what I'm telling you, son.
168
00:08:30,843 --> 00:08:34,347
If we allow that bastard to
continue doing what he's doing,
169
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:36,682
he will endanger the Newman
family.
170
00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:37,884
Do you understand that?
171
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:40,753
>> Adam: Um...Locke is family.
172
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:43,222
>> Victor: He is not a Newman.
173
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:45,625
We need to protect our own.
174
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:49,428
Are you too arrogant not to see
beyond your own shadow?
175
00:08:49,495 --> 00:08:51,497
What's the matter with you?
176
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:57,436
>> Ashland: I would think that
you would be up to your eyebrows
177
00:08:57,503 --> 00:09:02,041
right now in work, being your
girlfriend's right-hand man.
178
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:06,178
But here you are, wasting your
own time making baseless
179
00:09:06,245 --> 00:09:07,747
accusations.
180
00:09:07,813 --> 00:09:10,549
>> Billy: I don't think I would
call them baseless, Ashland.
181
00:09:10,616 --> 00:09:13,619
In fact, I'm gonna give you a
little bit of credit.
182
00:09:13,686 --> 00:09:18,024
You built an empire that you
basically ran by yourself for a
183
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:20,860
number of years, so I just find
it hard to believe that you're
184
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:23,329
gonna simply be an advisor to
your wife.
185
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:24,964
And don't get me wrong, okay?
186
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:28,200
Don't start talking about how
marriage is sacrifice and all
187
00:09:28,267 --> 00:09:31,570
that kind of stuff, because I do
believe that's true for a lot
188
00:09:31,637 --> 00:09:34,407
people, but not for the
Locke Ness Monster.
189
00:09:34,473 --> 00:09:38,744
No, no, you have way too much to
say.
190
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:41,514
How is work going, by the way?
191
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:42,515
It's good?
192
00:09:42,581 --> 00:09:44,817
I know you like to flip coins.
193
00:09:44,884 --> 00:09:49,055
Is that how you decide who
handles what division?
194
00:09:49,121 --> 00:09:51,857
>> Ashland: We're handling
things just fine, thank you.
195
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:55,561
>> Billy: I'm sure that's what
you want Victoria to think.
196
00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:58,164
You know, she has waited her
entire life to get control of
197
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:59,265
Newman.
198
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:01,634
And you just threw a big, old
wrench into her plans by
199
00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:05,271
sticking around longer than she
expected.
200
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:07,473
I'm sure that makes for
interesting dinner talk.
201
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:12,044
>> Ashland: [ Laughs ]
I'm guessing you think you're
202
00:10:12,111 --> 00:10:15,715
going to shock me with your
macabre sense of humor, but you
203
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:16,983
know something?
204
00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:21,187
A guy like me doesn't reach the
heights I have while maintaining
205
00:10:21,253 --> 00:10:24,123
some kind of delicate
sensibility.
206
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:26,258
I will say this, though.
207
00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:29,962
I think I understand why you
have such a bitter view of
208
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:33,466
marriage, given your sordid
history.
209
00:10:33,532 --> 00:10:35,601
>> Billy: That's actually not
true at all.
210
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:36,836
No, no, I enjoy marriage.
211
00:10:36,902 --> 00:10:38,637
I'm not negative on marriage
whatsoever.
212
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:42,308
I don't like yours, 'cause I
don't trust it and I don't trust
213
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:46,946
and I do not like what you're
gonna do to Victoria.
214
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:48,714
>> Ashland: Wow.
215
00:10:48,781 --> 00:10:51,517
This must be so difficult for
you.
216
00:10:51,584 --> 00:10:57,256
I mean, watching her finally
happy at last, married to a man
217
00:10:57,323 --> 00:11:02,395
that's worthy of her, and
knowing that you blew every
218
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:06,899
single chance you ever had with
her.
219
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:09,602
>> Billy: We've both moved on.
220
00:11:09,668 --> 00:11:12,938
>> Ashland: And yet here you
are, inserting yourself into our
221
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,007
lives.
222
00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:18,377
Listen, don't you think you've
done enough damage to your
223
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:21,380
relationship with her?
224
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:25,651
Trying to convince her that you
know what's best for her?
225
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:30,990
I would advise you to stop, but
I know you're not gonna listen,
226
00:11:31,057 --> 00:11:32,024
so you know what?
227
00:11:32,091 --> 00:11:33,759
Press on.
228
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:35,694
Keep going.
229
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:37,296
See where all this gets you.
230
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:49,241
>> Sally: It is none of your
business the kind of
231
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:51,310
relationship that Adam and I
have.
232
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:53,579
Inside or outside the boardroom.
233
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:57,049
But I can tell you that we are
doing the best work that we can.
234
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:59,752
And if there was anything going
on between us -- and I'm not
235
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:02,555
claiming that there is -- would
it really be any different than
236
00:12:02,621 --> 00:12:05,724
the dynamic between you and
Locke?
237
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:08,427
>> Victoria: Oh, yes, a world of
difference.
238
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:11,664
For one, Ashland and I are
married.
239
00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:14,133
>> Sally: I'm not talking about
a piece of paper.
240
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,402
I'm talking about how you
conduct yourselves
241
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:17,269
professionally.
242
00:12:17,336 --> 00:12:20,306
You're equals, just like me and
Adam.
243
00:12:20,372 --> 00:12:22,808
>> Victoria: [ Scoffs ]
Again, I'm gonna have to
244
00:12:22,875 --> 00:12:24,310
disagree with your comparison.
245
00:12:24,376 --> 00:12:28,781
Ashland and I have both years of
experience, whereas Adam is the
246
00:12:28,848 --> 00:12:33,052
one with all of the expertise
and you're a neophyte.
247
00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:36,889
>> Sally: But our dedication to
the company is just the same.
248
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:40,092
Rest assured that Adam and I
will always put Newman Media
249
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:41,293
first.
250
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,430
>> Victoria: Does Adam consider
you an equal partner in this
251
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:47,666
endeavor or is that just your
perception?
252
00:12:47,733 --> 00:12:50,903
>> Sally: What are you implying?
253
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,738
>> Victoria: No, don't worry,
I'm not concerned about your
254
00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:53,205
dynamic.
255
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:56,642
I'm just curious.
256
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:59,145
Oh, my goodness, I have a
meeting to get to.
257
00:12:59,211 --> 00:13:01,213
Have a good day.
258
00:13:08,988 --> 00:13:12,158
>> Victor: Son.
259
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:16,695
Please listen to me carefully,
okay?
260
00:13:16,762 --> 00:13:23,969
I have given you opportunity
after opportunity.
261
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:29,642
Right? I've taken you in, into
our fold, although there was a
262
00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:34,246
lot of skepticism on the part of
the other family members.
263
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:37,383
I believed in you.
264
00:13:37,449 --> 00:13:41,654
But you have never taken a
step -- a real step -- to feel
265
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,024
included in our family.
266
00:13:45,090 --> 00:13:48,427
>> Adam: How does committing
espionage against Victoria's
267
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:51,997
husband mean that I am one of
the gang, huh?
268
00:13:52,064 --> 00:13:55,034
What do you think my sister's
gonna think when she learns yet
269
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,770
again that members of this
family are digging into his
270
00:13:57,836 --> 00:13:58,671
past?
271
00:13:58,737 --> 00:14:00,773
>> Victor: He's a danger to
Newman Media.
272
00:14:00,839 --> 00:14:02,575
To Newman Enterprises.
273
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:06,779
To the Newman empire.
274
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:14,954
>> Adam: Find somebody else to
do your dirty work.
275
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:18,390
>> Victor: You're the only one
who can help.
276
00:14:18,457 --> 00:14:22,628
If you give a damn about
Newman Media...
277
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,697
>> Adam: You know I do.
278
00:14:24,763 --> 00:14:27,466
>> Victor: Then you will do as I
ask.
279
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:33,973
Otherwise, there'll be no
Newman Media left.
280
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,476
>> Nate: Ashland approached me a
little while ago and suggested I
281
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:41,347
leave Memorial and go into the
business arena.
282
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,581
>> Lily: Wow.
283
00:14:42,648 --> 00:14:45,451
I mean, I didn't know that was
something you were interested in
284
00:14:45,517 --> 00:14:46,485
doing.
285
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:49,655
>> Nate: Neither did I until he
floated the idea.
286
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:51,323
>> Lily: And?
287
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:54,627
>> Nate: And the more I consider
the offer, the more appealing it
288
00:14:54,693 --> 00:14:55,861
seems.
289
00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:58,430
>> Lily: Yeah, but your whole
life has been medicine.
290
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:00,466
>> Nate: Well, yeah, I'd be
putting all that knowledge and
291
00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:02,668
experience to use in a different
way.
292
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:06,238
I could have a bigger impact on
healthcare on a national -- even
293
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:08,907
international -- scale.
294
00:15:08,974 --> 00:15:12,511
>> Lily: Yeah, but, I mean, just
to play devil's advocate, are
295
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:16,081
you sure you're ready to leave
the hospital?
296
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:18,083
>> Nate: Truth?
297
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:22,121
After my injury and not being
able to perform surgery...I
298
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:26,458
don't have the same passion for
being a doctor.
299
00:15:26,525 --> 00:15:29,595
I spend all my days behind a
desk doing paperwork or in
300
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:32,598
meetings trying to cut through
red tape.
301
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:35,834
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean, look,
I've changed my careers more
302
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:38,871
time than I can count, so life's
too short, you know?
303
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:41,607
You got to find your passion.
304
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:43,976
>> Nate: I appreciate that.
305
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:48,480
>> Lily: But, listen, I mean, if
you are thinking of making this
306
00:15:48,547 --> 00:15:53,285
change, I would love to offer an
alternative.
307
00:15:53,352 --> 00:15:59,024
Why don't you come work with me
at Chancellor?
308
00:15:59,091 --> 00:16:00,459
>> Billy: Well, I appreciate.
309
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:02,594
It's very kind of you to look
out for me.
310
00:16:02,661 --> 00:16:05,197
It almost makes you seem human,
so be careful.
311
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,666
But honestly, Ashland, don't
worry about me, okay?
312
00:16:07,733 --> 00:16:08,801
I'm fine.
313
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:10,336
>> Ashland: Oh, I am not worried
about you in the least.
314
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:11,904
I'm worried about Lily.
315
00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:13,205
>> Billy: Lily's great.
316
00:16:13,272 --> 00:16:15,274
Lily is thriving, better than
ever.
317
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:16,442
>> Ashland: Really?
318
00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:18,911
She's not at all concerned about
your continued interest in
319
00:16:18,977 --> 00:16:19,878
Victoria's marriage?
320
00:16:19,945 --> 00:16:20,879
>> Billy: Well, why would she?
321
00:16:20,946 --> 00:16:23,415
Everything in our relationship
is open.
322
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:26,218
Our relationship isn't built on
lies and deceit.
323
00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:29,488
>> Ashland: [ Laughs ]
>> Billy: Secrets.
324
00:16:29,555 --> 00:16:31,690
>> Ashland: Ahh.
325
00:16:31,757 --> 00:16:34,793
>> Billy: And as far as our
working relationship, I actually
326
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:37,596
respect her as a CEO, and I'm
happy doing everything I
327
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:40,666
possibly can to make her dream
at Chancellor become a reality.
328
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:42,801
>> Victoria: Ashland.
329
00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:44,837
>> Ashland: Oh, hello,
sweetheart.
330
00:16:44,903 --> 00:16:45,971
Please join us.
331
00:16:46,038 --> 00:16:48,006
>> Victoria: I'm kind of
surprised to see the two of you
332
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,074
here together.
333
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:51,243
Can't imagine what you have to
discuss.
334
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:52,778
>> Ashland: Let me tell you.
335
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,848
Billy here has some really
interesting theories about us,
336
00:16:55,914 --> 00:16:58,016
about our marriage, about our
company.
337
00:16:58,083 --> 00:17:02,888
He seems to think that you are
more threatened by my recovery
338
00:17:02,955 --> 00:17:10,462
and my position at Newman/Locke
than you're letting on.
339
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:13,332
>> Victoria: For God's sakes,
Billy, how many times do I have
340
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:15,167
to tell you to back off?
341
00:17:24,009 --> 00:17:25,944
>> Nate: You're serious?
342
00:17:26,011 --> 00:17:28,247
Work for you at Chancellor?
343
00:17:28,313 --> 00:17:30,516
>> Lily: I mean, look, if I had
known that you were considering
344
00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:32,751
making a jump to the corporate
world, I would have offered it
345
00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:34,219
to you sooner.
346
00:17:34,286 --> 00:17:35,821
>> Nate: Okay, doing what?
347
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:38,724
>> Lily: I don't know, we'll
figure it out together.
348
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:42,761
Chancellor has endless resources
and infinite possibilities.
349
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:46,765
And look, I don't mean to
disparage Ashland's offer.
350
00:17:46,832 --> 00:17:48,267
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
Okay, but here it comes.
351
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:50,869
>> Lily: Well, okay, look, you
know things are complicated at
352
00:17:50,936 --> 00:17:51,804
Newman/Locke, right?
353
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:53,939
And especially with the Newman
family.
354
00:17:54,006 --> 00:17:56,942
The political and personal
dynamics between them are
355
00:17:57,009 --> 00:17:58,177
constantly changing.
356
00:17:58,243 --> 00:18:00,779
>> Nate: Yes, but I have a lot
of experience navigating those
357
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:02,047
waters.
358
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:03,615
>> Lily: Yeah, but why would you
want to waste your energy doing
359
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:06,418
that when you can come work with
me at Chancellor?
360
00:18:06,485 --> 00:18:08,053
Look, you're my family, okay?
361
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,657
I want you to be a part of what
I'm building there.
362
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:13,892
>> Nate: Wow, okay.
363
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:18,497
Now I have two fantastic offers
to consider.
364
00:18:18,564 --> 00:18:20,098
Wow.
365
00:18:20,165 --> 00:18:22,434
I did not see this coming.
366
00:18:24,703 --> 00:18:27,973
>> Billy: Uh, yeah, Ashland and
I were just having a very polite
367
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,241
conversation.
368
00:18:29,308 --> 00:18:31,510
>> Victoria: Clearly you have a
very different definition of the
369
00:18:31,577 --> 00:18:33,479
word "polite."
370
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,981
>> Billy: I'm sorry, do you
expect me to forget how he
371
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:38,450
helped your father and your
brother destroy my career?
372
00:18:38,517 --> 00:18:40,986
>> Ashland: I'm sorry, if we're
keeping score, you're the one
373
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:42,821
who wrote a disparaging article
about me.
374
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:45,357
>> Victoria: Billy, whatever it
is you're thinking that you're
375
00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:47,493
accomplishing here, you're
actually doing the total
376
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,027
opposite.
377
00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:51,296
>> Billy: What I wish I did was
blow Ashland out of the water in
378
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:54,333
Tuscany, because I hate the fact
that you married someone that
379
00:18:54,399 --> 00:18:57,302
can't be trusted, and at this
point, I am very grateful that
380
00:18:57,369 --> 00:19:00,739
our kids are going to school far
away from this toxicity.
381
00:19:00,806 --> 00:19:03,742
>> Victoria: That is such a
horrible thing to say.
382
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:06,044
It's exactly what I would expect
from you.
383
00:19:06,111 --> 00:19:08,614
>> Billy: Well, I think you need
to hear it, Victoria, because
384
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,782
you clearly don't see what's
right in front of you.
385
00:19:10,849 --> 00:19:13,986
You're not paying attention, and
maybe you're blinded by the fact
386
00:19:14,052 --> 00:19:17,489
that you still think that I'm
the bad one.
387
00:19:17,556 --> 00:19:19,658
>> Victoria: Are you finished?
388
00:19:19,725 --> 00:19:22,261
>> Billy: Yeah, I am.
389
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:24,663
>> Victoria: Because the only
thing that you said that was
390
00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,232
correct was that our kids are
away at school, which means that
391
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:31,203
you don't have to cross paths
with me or Ashland.
392
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:33,705
>> Billy: Yeah, maybe that's a
good idea.
393
00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:36,508
So from now on, I'll just
pretend that you don't exist.
394
00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:38,944
>> Ashland: I can hardly wait.
395
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:41,680
>> Billy: I know you love him
and you think he's everything
396
00:19:41,747 --> 00:19:44,483
you've ever wanted, and your
personal life and your business
397
00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:48,186
life are thriving, but he is
going to let you down in a way
398
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:49,655
that is going to be hard to
imagine.
399
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:55,060
And when he does -- because he
will -- it's gonna be a long way
400
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:57,129
to fall.
401
00:20:07,306 --> 00:20:09,608
>> Adam: You are worried that
Ashland is gonna pose a risk to
402
00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:10,609
your company.
403
00:20:10,676 --> 00:20:14,212
>> Victor: And Victoria.
404
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:17,416
>> Adam: I understand why you
feel the need that you need to
405
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:20,752
pursue the questions about him,
but you should not have dragged
406
00:20:20,819 --> 00:20:22,187
me into this.
407
00:20:22,254 --> 00:20:25,624
Okay? I've been working hard to
try to prove that I've changed
408
00:20:25,691 --> 00:20:29,394
my life, and that, Dad, I'm
worthy of your respect --
409
00:20:29,461 --> 00:20:32,197
and everyone else's.
410
00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:35,567
And just when I thought I
succeeded, put me through
411
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:38,503
another test.
412
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:40,572
>> Victor: That's not what this
is, son.
413
00:20:40,639 --> 00:20:42,407
>> Adam: Really?
414
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:45,944
Because it feels like, if I
don't follow orders, I am a
415
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:47,379
failure.
416
00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:51,249
That I'm a traitor to the
family.
417
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:53,619
And by family, I mean you.
418
00:20:53,685 --> 00:21:08,033
So if that is the game,
I'm not playing.
419
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:13,238
>> Victor: Maybe I made a
mistake believing in you,
420
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:14,706
trusting in you.
421
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:17,976
I thought you and I understood
each other.
422
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:25,283
But what you're displaying right
now is disrespect, arrogance,
423
00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:27,386
and hubris.
424
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:30,389
>> Adam: Hmm.
425
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:34,726
Well, if that is how you see it,
then I guess we are finished
426
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:35,694
here.
427
00:21:54,713 --> 00:21:56,782
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
428
00:22:16,401 --> 00:22:17,035
>> Billy: Nate.
429
00:22:17,102 --> 00:22:17,736
>> Nate: Hey.
430
00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:18,904
>> Billy: Hey, what's going on?
431
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:20,439
I, uh -- I didn't know you were
here.
432
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:21,973
I would've brought food for
three.
433
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,275
>> Nate: Oh, no, don't worry
about it.
434
00:22:23,341 --> 00:22:25,477
I've got to get to work anyway.
435
00:22:25,544 --> 00:22:27,913
>> Lily: Listen, I'm really glad
that we talked, okay?
436
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:31,016
And just think about all the
ramifications, and call me if
437
00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:32,317
you have any questions.
438
00:22:32,384 --> 00:22:33,885
>> Billy: Does that go for me,
too?
439
00:22:33,952 --> 00:22:36,321
>> Lily: I'll fill you in, but I
know you're gonna make the right
440
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:37,022
choice.
441
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:37,889
>> Nate: But no pressure, right?
442
00:22:37,956 --> 00:22:39,458
>> Lily: Oh, no, there's
pressure.
443
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:40,992
I'll just wait for you to say
yes.
444
00:22:41,059 --> 00:22:41,827
>> Nate: I'll talk to you soon.
445
00:22:41,893 --> 00:22:42,360
>> Lily: Alright.
446
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:42,861
>> Billy: See ya.
447
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:44,930
>> Lily: Bye.
448
00:22:51,136 --> 00:22:52,804
>> Billy: What's going on?
449
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:56,475
>> Lily: Well, Ashland offered a
job to Nate and Newman/Locke, so
450
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:59,778
I just made a counteroffer for
him to come work with us at
451
00:22:59,845 --> 00:23:00,912
Chancellor.
452
00:23:00,979 --> 00:23:02,614
>> Billy: Okay, but hold on,
does that mean he's leaving
453
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:03,181
medicine?
454
00:23:03,248 --> 00:23:04,316
That's -- That's crazy.
455
00:23:04,382 --> 00:23:05,050
That's huge.
456
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:06,518
>> Lily: Yeah, I know.
457
00:23:06,585 --> 00:23:09,354
>> Billy: And now he's trying to
decide between going to work
458
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,990
with the villains at Newman and
freedom and happiness and
459
00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:12,691
family?
460
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:13,892
That seems like an easy choice.
461
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:15,794
>> Lily: I don't know, he's very
close with Ashland.
462
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:17,829
I mean, he was his best man at
his wedding, remember?
463
00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:20,465
>> Billy: Yes, I remember, as
much as I've tried to forget
464
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:23,034
that day.
465
00:23:23,101 --> 00:23:24,302
He's a smart guy.
466
00:23:24,369 --> 00:23:27,239
He's got to realize it's time to
keep his distance from Ashland,
467
00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:30,675
which is a lesson I wish we
would all learn, including me,
468
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:33,278
especially me.
469
00:23:33,345 --> 00:23:34,279
>> Lily: Sorry, what does that
mean?
470
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:37,582
>> Billy: I ran into him at
Society.
471
00:23:37,649 --> 00:23:41,753
And Victoria showed up.
472
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:44,022
>> Lily: Oh, God, what happened?
473
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,458
>> Billy: It wasn't my proudest
moment.
474
00:23:46,525 --> 00:23:49,394
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
I'm so sorry you had to endure
475
00:23:49,461 --> 00:23:50,662
that.
476
00:23:50,729 --> 00:23:52,697
>> Ashland: Listen, some of the
accusations he made about me --
477
00:23:52,764 --> 00:23:55,467
>> Victoria: No, no, I don't
want to rehash it.
478
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,270
It was just Billy being Billy.
479
00:23:58,336 --> 00:24:00,672
He can evolve in so many
different ways, but then there's
480
00:24:00,739 --> 00:24:03,408
just certain things that he
can't let go of.
481
00:24:03,475 --> 00:24:07,379
Some people that just stoke
hatred and anger in him.
482
00:24:07,445 --> 00:24:09,681
Adam being one of them.
483
00:24:09,748 --> 00:24:13,785
And it seems that he's added you
to the list.
484
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:17,823
>> Ashland: I have been despised
and resented by some of the most
485
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:21,593
powerful people in the world,
and I actually thrive on that.
486
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:24,429
It reminds me that I'm doing the
right thing.
487
00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:29,301
So Billy is of no consequence to
me whatsoever.
488
00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:33,338
I am concerned, though, about
the toll it's taking on you.
489
00:24:33,405 --> 00:24:36,875
>> Victoria: Don't worry about
me.
490
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:40,645
>> Ashland: There something else
on your mind?
491
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:45,116
>> Victoria: I had an unforeseen
encounter on the way here,
492
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:48,353
and I -- I think you would be
interested to know what I
493
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:51,656
learned.
494
00:24:56,194 --> 00:25:00,966
>> Sally: I am glad you got my
message to meet me here.
495
00:25:01,032 --> 00:25:04,102
>> Adam: What, uh, did you have
in mind?
496
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:06,471
>> Sally: I was hoping we could
talk in private before we dove
497
00:25:06,538 --> 00:25:08,306
into our busy day.
498
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:11,343
First, I got you a coffee and a
cinnamon roll.
499
00:25:11,409 --> 00:25:13,678
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
You shouldn't have.
500
00:25:13,745 --> 00:25:14,980
That's very nice.
501
00:25:15,046 --> 00:25:16,848
>> Sally: It was my pleasure.
502
00:25:16,915 --> 00:25:20,518
Especially since dropping by
Crimson Lights came with a
503
00:25:20,585 --> 00:25:21,820
bonus.
504
00:25:21,887 --> 00:25:23,288
>> Adam: Yeah?
505
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:27,259
>> Sally: I ran into Victoria
and I set a few things straight.
506
00:25:27,325 --> 00:25:30,495
>> Adam: Should I be expecting
an angry phone call or a
507
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:32,931
passive-aggressive lunch
invitation?
508
00:25:32,998 --> 00:25:35,867
>> Sally: Don't worry -- all I
did was lay my cards out on the
509
00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:37,535
table.
510
00:25:37,602 --> 00:25:39,771
>> Adam: And what exactly did
that entail?
511
00:25:39,838 --> 00:25:42,874
>> Sally: I just told her that I
knew she wasn't happy with you
512
00:25:42,941 --> 00:25:45,644
naming me COO and that I was
determined to prove that I
513
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:48,546
belong here by making the
company a force in the field and
514
00:25:48,613 --> 00:25:52,117
bigger and stronger than anyone
could've ever imagined.
515
00:25:52,183 --> 00:25:56,288
Why are you smiling at me like
that?
516
00:25:56,354 --> 00:26:00,058
>> Adam: I'm impressed by the
way you stood up for yourself.
517
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:03,028
>> Sally: I mean, at this point,
it should hardly be a surprise.
518
00:26:03,094 --> 00:26:08,033
>> Adam: No, you excel at
fighting for what you want.
519
00:26:08,099 --> 00:26:10,969
>> Sally: Well, then I should
also mention that she asked if
520
00:26:11,036 --> 00:26:14,539
we were more than professional
partners.
521
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:16,641
>> Adam: What did you tell her?
522
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:19,844
>> Sally: I shut her down and
stayed on point, promising that
523
00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:22,213
Newman Media was our top
priority, but you should
524
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,616
definitely be aware that she's
on the hunt for information
525
00:26:24,683 --> 00:26:25,617
about your personal life.
526
00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:27,953
>> Adam: Hmm, great.
527
00:26:28,019 --> 00:26:31,423
More scrutiny from my darling
sister.
528
00:26:31,489 --> 00:26:34,759
But I can handle her.
529
00:26:34,826 --> 00:26:37,095
>> Sally: What were you up to
this morning?
530
00:26:37,162 --> 00:26:37,862
Is everything alright?
531
00:26:37,929 --> 00:26:40,732
'Cause you seem a little off.
532
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:45,870
>> Adam: Um...well, for
starters, um...I did not get
533
00:26:45,937 --> 00:26:48,406
much sleep last night.
534
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:50,275
>> Sally: Why not?
535
00:26:50,342 --> 00:26:52,877
>> Adam: I was thinking about
you.
536
00:26:52,944 --> 00:26:55,180
>> Sally: Oh, tell me more.
537
00:26:55,246 --> 00:26:58,416
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Not like that.
538
00:26:58,483 --> 00:27:01,119
I was thinking about our
conversation we had yesterday
539
00:27:01,186 --> 00:27:06,725
and how I needed to stop playing
games and look out for myself.
540
00:27:06,791 --> 00:27:12,197
So I invited my dad to come to
the office this morning.
541
00:27:12,263 --> 00:27:14,265
>> Sally: What happened?
542
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:20,739
Adam?
543
00:27:20,805 --> 00:27:24,809
>> Adam: I, um...
544
00:27:24,876 --> 00:27:29,147
I think I may have overplayed my
hand with my father.
545
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:40,392
>> Billy: I told Ashland that he
doesn't fool me and that
546
00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:42,060
Victoria needs to open her eyes.
547
00:27:42,127 --> 00:27:44,696
At least, that's the cleaned-up,
abridged version.
548
00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:46,865
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
I'm sure it fell on deaf ears.
549
00:27:46,931 --> 00:27:48,700
>> Billy: Either way, it needed
to be said.
550
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:51,936
I'm just not happy with the way
that I handled myself.
551
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:55,440
I let the residual bitterness
towards the man take over.
552
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:57,742
>> Lily: Oh, it's fine, we all
have our off moments.
553
00:27:57,809 --> 00:27:59,978
>> Billy: Yeah, no, I understand
that, but for weeks, I've been
554
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:02,714
telling you that I'm not that
guy anymore.
555
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:05,750
And as much as I'm trying,
clearly I still have a lot of
556
00:28:05,817 --> 00:28:06,751
work to do.
557
00:28:06,818 --> 00:28:09,287
>> Lily: No, you're being too
hard on yourself.
558
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:12,257
Okay? I mean, he got under your
skin, which is exactly what he
559
00:28:12,323 --> 00:28:13,458
was trying to do.
560
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:16,928
But you said your piece, you
left, you're acknowledging right
561
00:28:16,995 --> 00:28:18,730
now that you lost your cool.
562
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:21,299
Okay? I mean, as long as you're
not concocting some scheme I
563
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:22,267
should worry about...
564
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:24,636
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
No, I'm not.
565
00:28:24,702 --> 00:28:26,471
You can rest easy.
566
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:29,407
I think you're right, and
honestly, Ashland doesn't
567
00:28:29,474 --> 00:28:32,077
deserve another second of my
time.
568
00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:35,046
I got more important things that
I need to focus on.
569
00:28:35,113 --> 00:28:37,715
>> Lily: That's right, you do.
570
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:41,019
Look, I know that you're a
different man, okay?
571
00:28:41,086 --> 00:28:45,423
It's time that you start
believing it in here.
572
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:48,893
>> Adam: I don't know my exact
words.
573
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,865
But I told him that I was not
gonna spy on Ashland for him.
574
00:28:53,932 --> 00:28:56,468
>> Sally: Oh, my God, you
actually said no to
575
00:28:56,534 --> 00:28:57,669
Victor Newman.
576
00:28:57,735 --> 00:29:00,271
>> Adam: Well, then I insisted
that I be allowed to do my job
577
00:29:00,338 --> 00:29:03,374
with no strings attached, no
more jumping through hoops, no
578
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:06,344
more loyalty tests.
579
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:08,179
>> Sally: Or what?
580
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:14,018
>> Adam: Or I'd walk away from
the company for good.
581
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:16,387
>> Sally: And then?
582
00:29:16,454 --> 00:29:19,324
>> Adam: Oh, then he insisted
that I didn't understand how
583
00:29:19,390 --> 00:29:24,095
important it was for him to know
what Ashland is doing and it's
584
00:29:24,162 --> 00:29:26,397
my duty to protect the family.
585
00:29:26,464 --> 00:29:28,299
>> Sally: But isn't that his
responsibility?
586
00:29:28,366 --> 00:29:31,970
>> Adam: Oh, not according to
him.
587
00:29:32,036 --> 00:29:35,173
He wondered why I didn't
understand how important it was
588
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,309
that I be his mole.
589
00:29:38,376 --> 00:29:42,280
And then it was just a hop,
skip, and a jump to him calling
590
00:29:42,347 --> 00:29:46,918
me selfish, disloyal,
and arrogant.
591
00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:49,053
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] That is...
592
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,991
really infuriating.
593
00:29:53,057 --> 00:29:55,760
Look, maybe he didn't mean it.
594
00:29:55,827 --> 00:29:58,229
Maybe he was just angry that you
showed independence, and he
595
00:29:58,296 --> 00:29:59,564
lashed out.
596
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:03,701
>> Adam: Oh, no, he meant every
word, at least he did at the
597
00:30:03,768 --> 00:30:05,270
time.
598
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:09,174
He hates being challenged,
especially by family.
599
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,843
>> Sally: What do you think he's
gonna do now?
600
00:30:11,910 --> 00:30:15,780
>> Adam: Well, whether he's
gonna accept it and come to
601
00:30:15,847 --> 00:30:21,419
understand my perspective
remains to be seen.
602
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:25,123
If he doesn't...
603
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:28,159
>> Ashland: I'm sorry, I'm going
to need you to repeat that
604
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:28,927
information.
605
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:30,428
>> Victoria: You heard me.
606
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:35,466
After our conversation, I'm
convinced that Adam and Sally
607
00:30:35,533 --> 00:30:39,637
gave into temptation and they
are now a couple.
608
00:30:39,704 --> 00:30:43,441
>> Ashland: [ Laughs ]
Oh, man.
609
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:47,979
Well, I can't say that it's a
surprise, but it's a terrible
610
00:30:48,046 --> 00:30:50,381
time, given the current
situation.
611
00:30:50,448 --> 00:30:52,283
>> Victoria: It's a recipe for
disaster.
612
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:55,353
>> Ashland: [ Laughs ]
>> Victoria: And I suspect that
613
00:30:55,420 --> 00:30:57,922
Sally will prove to be such a
distraction, she will make it
614
00:30:57,989 --> 00:30:59,524
impossible for Adam to do his
job.
615
00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:01,726
>> Ashland: Yes, well, she does
have a way of putting herself at
616
00:31:01,793 --> 00:31:02,927
the center of attention.
617
00:31:02,994 --> 00:31:06,030
>> Victoria: Couple with that
the fact that, although she is
618
00:31:06,097 --> 00:31:09,234
very talented, she's completely
underqualified for this
619
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,501
position.
620
00:31:10,568 --> 00:31:12,503
I foresee some trouble at
Newman Media.
621
00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:14,305
>> Ashland: Right.
622
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:18,309
Victor may soon regret his
decision to support Adam and
623
00:31:18,376 --> 00:31:19,944
Sally as CEO and COO.
624
00:31:20,011 --> 00:31:21,412
>> Victoria: Exactly.
625
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:25,583
And I don't want to create a war
with my father by bringing it
626
00:31:25,650 --> 00:31:26,317
up.
627
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:28,453
In fact, what would be the
point?
628
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:31,756
We don't need to come up with a
way for Adam to fail so that we
629
00:31:31,823 --> 00:31:32,690
can fire him.
630
00:31:32,757 --> 00:31:36,094
We're just gonna sit back and
let it happen.
631
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,563
As a matter of fact --
[ Cellphone rings ]
632
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:41,232
Oh.
633
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:42,500
Hello.
634
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:44,135
>> Victor: Hello, my sweetheart.
635
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:47,372
I was hoping that I could grab a
few minutes with you.
636
00:31:47,438 --> 00:31:49,073
>> Victoria: Well, that can be
arranged.
637
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:51,075
>> Victor: Come over and see me
at Newman Media as soon as you
638
00:31:51,142 --> 00:31:52,043
can, okay?
639
00:31:52,110 --> 00:31:53,344
>> Victoria: I'm on my way.
640
00:31:53,411 --> 00:31:56,014
>> Victor: See you soon.
641
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,682
>> Ashland: Was that your
father?
642
00:31:57,749 --> 00:31:59,717
>> Victoria: Yes, it was my dad.
643
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:02,220
I'm being summoned.
644
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:04,255
>> Ashland: For what?
645
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:05,657
>> Victoria: I'll find out soon
enough.
646
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:14,799
>> Billy: What are you smiling
about?
647
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:19,370
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
Well, I've been thinking about
648
00:32:19,437 --> 00:32:24,242
your podcast, and I think we
should move forward with it.
649
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:26,210
>> Billy: But you're worried
that I won't have enough time to
650
00:32:26,277 --> 00:32:29,380
handle my COO responsibilities.
651
00:32:29,447 --> 00:32:32,283
>> Lily: No, look, I think that
sharing your experiences and
652
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:35,119
having a creative outlet will be
good for you.
653
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:37,822
You know, and I think that
people can relate to the stories
654
00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:40,591
that you have to tell.
655
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:44,162
>> Billy: Look, it's very
important to me that you
656
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:47,665
actually believe and trust that
I can do both things and make
657
00:32:47,732 --> 00:32:50,168
sure that I take care of
everything.
658
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:53,171
>> Lily: No, I've realized it
will work as long as it doesn't
659
00:32:53,237 --> 00:32:55,573
take up too much of your time.
660
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,874
>> Billy: Well, you have my
word.
661
00:32:56,941 --> 00:33:00,611
You can count on me to be your
COO, no matter what.
662
00:33:00,678 --> 00:33:02,613
>> Lily: Alright, then you have
yourself a deal.
663
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,715
>> Billy: Is that right?
664
00:33:03,781 --> 00:33:04,615
>> Lily: Yeah.
665
00:33:04,682 --> 00:33:06,517
[ Chuckles ]
>> Sally: The way that you're
666
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:17,428
acting right now, it isn't you.
667
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:22,233
>> Adam: Well, run-ins with my
father occasionally have this
668
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:23,501
effect on me.
669
00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:27,205
It's one of his special talents.
670
00:33:27,271 --> 00:33:30,475
>> Sally: I just mean the Adam
that I know is never nervous or
671
00:33:30,541 --> 00:33:35,580
filled with self-doubt -- and
with good reason.
672
00:33:35,646 --> 00:33:37,648
>> Adam: [ Clears throat ]
I don't know if you are trying
673
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:43,020
to compliment or you actually
think that I'm a robot.
674
00:33:43,087 --> 00:33:46,691
>> Sally: I have intimate
knowledge of just how human you
675
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:48,993
actually are.
676
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:52,330
And how you can turn any
