>> Victoria: What is this all
about?
3
00:00:06,773 --> 00:00:09,809
>> Victor: I had a meeting with
Adam today, and it seems that he
4
00:00:09,876 --> 00:00:12,178
has second thoughts about
staying on at Newman.
5
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:13,847
>> Victoria: Well, what can I
say?
6
00:00:13,913 --> 00:00:15,048
I did as you asked.
7
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:17,250
I offered to keep him on as the
head of the division, but I
8
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,485
can't force him to stay.
9
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:22,055
And I certainly don't want a top
executive who's not happy and
10
00:00:22,122 --> 00:00:24,257
not fully committed.

smooth things over with Adam,
12
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,261
alright?
13
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:31,398
Not only in Newman/Locke's best
interest, but in yours, as well,

00:00:31,464 --> 00:00:34,701
to make sure that the merger
with ChancComm goes smoothly.

>> Victoria: So, what should I
do, Dad?
16
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:38,872
Should I tie him to a chair?
17
00:00:38,938 --> 00:00:40,673
Lock him in the office?
18
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:42,142
What?
19
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:45,378
>> Victor: Try to make him feel
welcome and appreciated and
20
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:46,079
respected.
21
00:00:46,146 --> 00:00:47,213

So, you want me to stroke his
fragile ego.
23
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:51,017
>> Victor: My darling, let me
teach you a little lesson.
24
00:00:51,084 --> 00:00:55,855
As CEO, you need to be able to
deal with the entire executive
25
00:00:55,922 --> 00:00:59,259
staff, even with people who
disagree with you, alright?
26
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:02,896
And you tell Ashland about that,
as well.
27
00:01:02,962 --> 00:01:04,130
>> Victoria: Ashland?
28
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:06,800
Well, where's this coming from?
29
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:10,670
>> Victor: It seems he let Adam
know in no uncertain terms that
30
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:15,308
he would keep him on a short
leash and, if Adam didn't like
31
00:01:15,375 --> 00:01:16,609
it, he could quit, he could
walk.
32
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:18,511
>> Victoria: I'm sure that
Ashland was just setting some
33
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:19,612
boundaries.
34
00:01:19,679 --> 00:01:23,249
>> Victor: No one sets
boundaries on my children.
35
00:01:23,316 --> 00:01:24,284
Do you got that?
36
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:29,155
Not Ashland Locke, not anyone
but me!
37
00:01:29,222 --> 00:01:33,560
Now, antagonizing Adam is not a
good idea, is it?
38
00:01:33,626 --> 00:01:36,029
Why the hell would he do that?
39
00:01:36,095 --> 00:01:45,438
Did he do that unilaterally,
or were you part of it?

radio silent.

father earlier.

I keep replaying it in my head,
wondering if I went too far.

Dominic made it through the

that's a relief.

how Adam characterized his

conversation with my husband.
113
00:05:28,227 --> 00:05:29,996
And, yes, I was very aware of
it.
114
00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:32,865
I showed up in the middle, and I
heard more than enough.
115
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:36,569
>> Victor: So, are you denying
that Ashland reined in Adam's
116
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:38,137
authority at every turn?
117
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:40,940
>> Victoria: Adam was testing
his boundaries, and Ashland let
118
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:43,209
him know exactly what those
boundaries would be.
119
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:46,379
Adam would have autonomy within
reason, but ultimately he would
120
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:47,714
answer to Ashland and me.
121
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:51,117
And as far as Adam being
micro-managed, I signed off on
122
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:54,821
his first major decision since
the acquisition was announced.
123
00:05:54,887 --> 00:05:58,291
>> Victor: You mean hiring that
woman as COO -- Spectra.
124
00:05:58,357 --> 00:06:02,395
>> Victoria: A very questionable
decision, at best.
125
00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:06,332
So, what is the problem, Dad?
126
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:10,770
>> Victor: The problem is that
Ashland is showing a degree of
127
00:06:10,837 --> 00:06:12,638
disrespect for Adam that I don't
like.
128
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:17,210
>> Victoria: And that surprises
you?
129
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:21,114
>> Victor: Have you forgotten
that Adam prevented your wedding
130
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:25,351
from blowing up, that, although
you had differences, he came to
131
00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:26,586
your side?
132
00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:29,489
He helped you and your husband
have a great wedding in Tuscany.
133
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,758
Have you forgotten that?
134
00:06:31,824 --> 00:06:36,129
>> Victoria: That doesn't
justify giving Adam a free pass.
135
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:39,499
And, yes, I am very happy that
my wedding wasn't derailed, but
136
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:41,100
we both know why he did that.
137
00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:45,071
He did that because he wanted to
prove his loyalty to you.
138
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:47,340
And he was duly rewarded for
that.
139
00:06:47,406 --> 00:06:48,174
I did as you asked.
140
00:06:48,241 --> 00:06:51,377
I kept him on as head of the
division.
141
00:06:51,444 --> 00:06:54,747
Which, by the way, will be a
much larger division once this

merger goes through.
143
00:06:56,048 --> 00:06:59,585
But Adam had to go crying back
to Daddy because his little
144
00:06:59,652 --> 00:07:00,386
feelings were hurt.

00:07:00,453 --> 00:07:01,587
>> Victor: That's not what
happened.
146
00:07:01,654 --> 00:07:06,359
>> Victoria: Honestly, Dad,
I know that my brother's trying
147
00:07:06,425 --> 00:07:07,460
to stir up trouble.
148
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:09,195
>> Victor: Where'd you hear
that?
149
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:10,463
>> Victoria: I don't have to
hear it.
150
00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:11,798
I know it.
151
00:07:11,864 --> 00:07:14,300
Now that he's gonna be back at
Newman Media, he's probably
152
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:18,104
looking around, remembering when
he ran the whole place.
153
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:19,539
He's probably getting the itch
again.
154
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:21,340
I mean, it is Adam that we're
talking about here.
155
00:07:21,407 --> 00:07:23,676
People wouldn't be very
surprised, would they?
156
00:07:23,743 --> 00:07:27,480
>> Victor: I want you to smooth
things over with Adam, alright?
157
00:07:27,547 --> 00:07:29,949
Don't you look for trouble where
there is none.
158
00:07:30,016 --> 00:07:31,784
Make this work.
159
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,420
For the good of the company, I
want you to make your brother

00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:36,055
feel welcome.
161
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:46,232
>> Adam: Do you remember when we
were talking in bed yesterday?
162
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:50,937
I, uh -- I found myself opening
up to you about my father.
163
00:07:51,003 --> 00:07:53,906
And, surprisingly, you said all
the things that I was feeling
164
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:57,143
but I couldn't quite articulate.
165
00:07:57,210 --> 00:08:00,413
That my dad asking me to spy on
Ashland undermined everything
166
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:03,716
that I was trying to accomplish,
as if my position there was
167
00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:07,320
contingent on me doing his
bidding and not on the merit.
168
00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:09,655
>> Sally: Yeah, as far as I'm
concerned, he was way out of
169
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:10,823
line.
170
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:13,459
>> Adam: Well, lying there with
you and seeing it clearly
171
00:08:13,526 --> 00:08:18,097
through your eyes, I was filled

00:15:57,323 --> 00:15:59,491
and that's one of the things
that makes you a force to be
342
00:15:59,558 --> 00:16:01,794
reckoned with, but this is a
small matter for the business
343
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:02,561
affairs people.
344
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:04,029
It's, uh -- It's, uh, not a
thing.
345
00:16:04,096 --> 00:16:05,064
I'm on top of it.
346
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:07,266
>> Victoria: You know, I could
have looked it over.
347
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:08,867
>> Ashland: Really, this is
minor.
348
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:12,638
It's not worth distracting you
from the real job you have, you
349
00:16:12,705 --> 00:16:15,874
know, of running the entire
company.
350
00:16:15,941 --> 00:16:17,042
>> Victoria: Alright.
351
00:16:17,109 --> 00:16:19,345
If you say so, but you sounded
awfully heated on the phone.
352
00:16:19,411 --> 00:16:21,914
It sounded like it was a much
bigger deal than you're making
353
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:23,048
it out to be now.
354
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:24,917
>> Ashland: It's just a
carrot-and-stick kind of thing.
355
00:16:24,983 --> 00:16:27,152
You know, sometimes people need
to be shaken out of their
356
00:16:27,219 --> 00:16:27,720
complacency.
357
00:16:27,786 --> 00:16:28,420
>> Victoria: Right.
358
00:16:28,487 --> 00:16:29,521
>> Ashland: Mm.
359
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:31,223
Look, I can show you the
language that I'm upset about.
360
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:33,392
I mean, if you want to see it, I
could just make a phone call.
361
00:16:33,459 --> 00:16:34,860
>> Victoria: No, no, of course
not, no.
362
00:16:34,927 --> 00:16:37,162
I just thought if there was a
problem, maybe I could help you
363
00:16:37,229 --> 00:16:38,163
with it.
364
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:40,332
But in that case, I'm sure you
would let me know.
365
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,301
>> Ashland: That's what partners
do.
366
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:43,635
>> Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes.
367
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:45,771
Uh, anyway, I came to get my
tablet.
368
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,674
Don't forget we have that
meeting with the ChancComm
369
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:50,442
marketing team about the merger.
370
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:51,410
>> Ashland: Yeah.
371
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:54,446
Uh, hold on for one second.
372
00:16:54,513 --> 00:17:01,053
There is something we need to
address.
373
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,821
>> Adam: No, you completely
misunderstood.
374
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:05,257
Your advice was spot on.
375
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:07,393
And once again, you have proven
that you do have great
376
00:17:07,459 --> 00:17:09,094
instincts.
377
00:17:09,161 --> 00:17:10,629
>> Sally: Do you really mean
that?
378
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:14,366
>> Adam: Look, don't ever stop
listening to that inner voice.
379
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:16,368
You got me thinking.
380
00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:19,872
Walking away from Newman Media
gets me nothing.
381
00:17:19,938 --> 00:17:21,206
Nothing.
382
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:23,909
It only further feeds into the
narrative that I am impulsive
383
00:17:23,976 --> 00:17:25,010
and I am reckless...
384
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:29,081
>> Sally: Well, it's not always
the worst qualities.
385
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:31,984
>> Adam: ...and I shouldn't be
taken seriously.
386
00:17:32,050 --> 00:17:33,519
>> Sally: That would be a
mistake.
387
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:34,653
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
388
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,288
I mean, look, Victoria and
Ashland -- they only agreed to
389
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:37,956
my staying on because it's
biding them time.
390
00:17:38,023 --> 00:17:40,025
It's pretty clear when the
merger goes through, they're
391
00:17:40,092 --> 00:17:41,794
gonna do everything they can to
push me aside.
392
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:44,563
So I'm not gonna sit around and
wait for them to make their
393
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:45,230
move.
394
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:46,498
I'm gonna make my move first.
395
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:51,303
I'm gonna go on the offensive,
and I'm gonna make them fail.
396
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:53,439
And I'm not gonna feel bad about
it because I'm pretty sure that
397
00:17:53,505 --> 00:17:55,707
they're trying to do the same
thing to me.
398
00:17:55,774 --> 00:17:58,110
>> Sally: Downright
Machiavellian.
399
00:17:58,177 --> 00:18:00,779
>> Adam: I am gonna tell my
father that I'm gonna stay on
400
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:04,583
and I'm gonna keep an eye on
Ashland, but I am not gonna do
401
00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:06,118
it for his sake.
402
00:18:06,185 --> 00:18:08,086
I am gonna do it for my own.
403
00:18:20,999 --> 00:18:22,434
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
404
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:42,688
>> Phyllis: Wow. Look at this.
405
00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:47,092
Hao Nguyen owned a lot more
properties besides this one
406
00:18:47,159 --> 00:18:48,527
that you were given.
407
00:18:48,594 --> 00:18:49,761
>> Jack: How do you know it's
the same person?
408
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:50,762
>> Phyllis: I don't.
409
00:18:50,829 --> 00:18:52,097
I did some cross-referencing.
410
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:53,065
It's just my guess.
411
00:18:53,131 --> 00:18:55,901
[ Keys clacking ]
>> Jack: Oh, no.
412
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:56,468
>> Phyllis: What?
413
00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:58,437
Did you find something?
414
00:18:58,504 --> 00:19:00,405
>> Jack: An obituary.
415
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:02,274
>> Phyllis: Uh, okay.
416
00:19:02,341 --> 00:19:06,111
Well, you said that your
father-in-law died years ago.
417
00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:09,548
>> Jack: Keemo e-mailed me that
he would be taking his mother's
418
00:19:09,615 --> 00:19:10,849
maiden name -- Nguyen.
419
00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:14,653
You think it's possible he took
his grandfather's given name,
420
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,854
Hao?
421
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,823
You think the Hao Nguyen we're
talking about here is my son?
422
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,192
>> Phyllis: Listen, don't jump
to conclusions, okay?
423
00:19:20,259 --> 00:19:22,261
Don't do that.
424
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:24,830
Okay, this obituary --
I got it. I got it.
425
00:19:24,897 --> 00:19:26,632
Thank you.
426
00:19:26,698 --> 00:19:27,666
It's so generic.
427
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:29,501
I mean, it's a very common name.
428
00:19:29,568 --> 00:19:30,869
There are no survivors.
429
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:33,539
>> Jack: Look at the date of
birth.
430
00:19:33,605 --> 00:19:37,543
It's the same year Keemo was
born.
431
00:19:37,609 --> 00:19:39,077
Oh, God.
432
00:19:39,144 --> 00:19:43,916
It says he died three weeks ago
in Los Angeles.
433
00:19:43,982 --> 00:19:46,084
>> Phyllis: Yeah, that's where
the texts are coming from.
434
00:19:46,151 --> 00:19:47,953
>> Jack: Why else would someone
reach out to me?
435
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:50,289
Why else would somebody let me
go down that path unless --
436
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:53,892
>> Phyllis: It could just be a
coincidence, Jack.
437
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:56,061
>> Jack: Oh, God, I want to
believe that.
438
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:57,496
>> Phyllis: Listen.
439
00:19:57,563 --> 00:19:59,932
I'm gonna get all the
information I can, and we're
440
00:19:59,998 --> 00:20:02,034
gonna find out one way or the
other, okay?
441
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:04,336
>> Jack: Okay.
442
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,075
>> Devon: So, when did you make
this decision?
443
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:11,610
'Cause didn't you just become
chief of surgery?
444
00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:13,712
>> Amanda: Yeah, doctor turned
businessman?
445
00:20:13,779 --> 00:20:15,380
Are you sure you want to do
this?
446
00:20:15,447 --> 00:20:17,649
>> Nate: Okay, let me explain.
447
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:20,218
Being a surgeon was my passion.
448
00:20:20,285 --> 00:20:22,988
Being on the administrative side
of things, not so much.
449
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:26,558
Turns out dealing with all the
bureaucracy is just not
450
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:27,826
appealing.
451
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:29,528
And, look, this is a good thing.
452
00:20:29,595 --> 00:20:32,731
You know, my life didn't turn
out exactly the way I planned,
453
00:20:32,798 --> 00:20:35,267
but that's life, you know?
454
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:38,670
And instead of just going along
and accepting that this is as
455
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:41,273
good as it gets for me, I'm
making a change.
456
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:44,076
>> Amanda: But the business
world, corporate America?
457
00:20:44,142 --> 00:20:47,245
>> Devon: What prompted the
whole thing?
458
00:20:47,312 --> 00:20:49,314
>> Nate: Ashland Locke.
459
00:21:00,058 --> 00:21:03,562
>> Nikki: How reliable do you
think this doctor's word is?
460
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:09,334
I mean, that Ashland would pay
the man to alter his medical
461
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:10,002
records?
462
00:21:10,068 --> 00:21:11,770
It just seems so far-fetched.
463
00:21:11,837 --> 00:21:14,006
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
Michael Baldwin was a
464
00:21:14,072 --> 00:21:16,575
prosecutor, one of the sharpest
legal minds around.
465
00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:18,143
He found the testimony credible.
466
00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:20,512
>> Nikki: Yeah, but, I mean,
who knows?
467
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:24,316
This guy doesn't even work there
anymore probably.
468
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:28,787
He could just be a disgruntled
employee looking for money or
469
00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:30,255
attention or both.
470
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:32,824
>> Victor: I have considered
all of that, okay?
471
00:21:32,891 --> 00:21:37,929
Let me just say that Michael is
continuing to investigate.
472
00:21:37,996 --> 00:21:41,933
>> Nikki: I still don't
understand why Ashland would
473
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,769
lie about his recovery.
474
00:21:43,835 --> 00:21:47,239
To what end?
475
00:21:47,305 --> 00:21:50,208
>> Ashland: When we decided to
merge our companies, I was --
476
00:21:50,275 --> 00:21:53,578
I was fixated on cementing my
legacy.
477
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:56,748
My illness, the treatment I was
undergoing made it impossible
478
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:59,351
for me to make any significant
contribution here.
479
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,386
I couldn't be a real partner to
you.
480
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:03,855
>> Victoria: Well, I knew all
that, and I encouraged you to
481
00:22:03,922 --> 00:22:06,224
leave it to me so that you could
focus on getting better.
482
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:08,627
>> Ashland: Yes, and I so much
appreciated that, but now,
483
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:10,829
because of the treatment, I feel
so much stronger.
484
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:13,532
See, I'm ready to immerse myself
in everything we're
485
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:14,599
accomplishing here.
486
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,668
We are building something
magnificent.
487
00:22:16,735 --> 00:22:18,904
We're building a powerhouse
right now!
488
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:20,205
>> Victoria: It's very exciting.
489
00:22:20,272 --> 00:22:21,440
>> Ashland: It's very exciting!
490
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:22,741
Yes!
491
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:26,144
And I've been trying to carve
out for myself a place where I
492
00:22:26,211 --> 00:22:27,813
can make more a contribution.
493
00:22:27,879 --> 00:22:29,614
I think you've been aware of
that.
494
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:33,485
But -- But we've never really
had a chance to discuss it in
495
00:22:33,552 --> 00:22:34,186
detail.
496
00:22:34,252 --> 00:22:37,556
This is all new for both of us.
497
00:22:37,622 --> 00:22:41,259
Both of us have been used to be
being the heads of our own
498
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:42,661
corporations, right?
499
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:44,463
>> Victoria: Yes. You're right.
500
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:45,931
The dynamic has changed.
501
00:22:45,997 --> 00:22:48,166
So, um, what are you saying?
502
00:22:48,233 --> 00:22:50,669
>> Ashland: I'm saying that I've
been -- I've been running
503
00:22:50,736 --> 00:22:51,770
companies my entire life.
504
00:22:51,837 --> 00:22:52,904
It's second nature to me.
505
00:22:52,971 --> 00:22:54,139
It's an automatic reflex.
506
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:58,944
But here -- here, because of my
illness, all I could be is an
507
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:02,347
advisor, an advisory role.
508
00:23:02,414 --> 00:23:06,184
That's why we set it up that
way, with you as CEO and me as
509
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:07,119
an advisor.
510
00:23:07,185 --> 00:23:09,454
>> Victoria: And now you're
rethinking that?
511
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:12,491
>> Ashland: Victoria, this was
our dream.
512
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:14,693
And here we are.
513
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,194
We're in love.
514
00:23:16,261 --> 00:23:18,797
We have a close personal
relationship with each other.
515
00:23:18,864 --> 00:23:23,502
And we are working side by side
in a company that we created
516
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:28,340
that bears both our names...
517
00:23:28,406 --> 00:23:29,274
as equals.
518
00:23:39,050 --> 00:23:40,519
>> Chance: Thank you for coming
by so quickly.
519
00:23:40,585 --> 00:23:41,286
I really appreciate it.
520
00:23:41,353 --> 00:23:43,088
>> Sharon: Oh, yeah, of course.
521
00:23:43,155 --> 00:23:44,656
How's Dominic?
522
00:23:44,723 --> 00:23:46,691
>> Abby: His recovery is going
well.
523
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:49,895
He's exhausted, but the doctors
are pleased with his progress.
524
00:23:49,961 --> 00:23:51,596
>> Sharon: Oh, you must be so
relieved.
525
00:23:51,663 --> 00:23:53,932
I know how scary it is when you
have a child that's sick.
526
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,334
>> Chance: Yeah, well, uh, he
needs me to be more of father
527
00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:57,536
than I have been lately.
528
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,739
>> Abby: We just -- We really
need your guidance on this and
529
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:02,440
someone for Chance to talk to.
530
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,943
And I understand why you think
it should be someone else since
531
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,444
you're so close to the
situation.
532
00:24:06,511 --> 00:24:11,950
>> Sharon: Well, I made a list
for you together, a nice list of
533
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:13,451
very good therapists.
534
00:24:13,518 --> 00:24:16,888
Um, I think they'll be a good
match, but I've put my first
535
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:18,123
choices at the top.
536
00:24:18,190 --> 00:24:20,225
>> Chance: Okay.
537
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:27,833
[ Sighs ]
>> Victoria: What are you
538
00:24:27,899 --> 00:24:28,900
suggesting?
539
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,670
>> Ashland: I'm suggesting that
we change my title.
540
00:24:31,736 --> 00:24:36,041
Now, advisor made sense when we
were first merging the
541
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:37,209
companies.
542
00:24:37,275 --> 00:24:39,578
There was little hope then that
I could do anything else.
543
00:24:39,644 --> 00:24:43,014
>> Victoria: Honestly, Ashland,
does it really matter what your
544
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:43,982
title is?
545
00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:46,751
We're both -- We're both running
this company.
546
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:49,788
>> Ashland: It will matter to
other people, especially when I
547
00:24:49,855 --> 00:24:51,723
start taking on more
responsibility.
548
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:52,991
Don't you see that?
549
00:24:53,058 --> 00:24:55,961
That's why I was so upset on the
phone before -- because that was
550
00:24:56,027 --> 00:24:57,195
the legal department.
551
00:24:57,262 --> 00:25:00,098
They were giving me a hard time
about -- about making a small
552
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,300
change on a relatively
unimportant matter.
553
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:03,869
>> Victoria: Well, who are you
dealing with?
554
00:25:03,935 --> 00:25:05,670
I will call them, and I will
explain the situation.
555
00:25:05,737 --> 00:25:06,504
>> Ashland: No, no, no.
556
00:25:06,571 --> 00:25:08,540
I really don't want you to do
that.
557
00:25:08,607 --> 00:25:11,943
I need to be respected on my own
right, in this building and out
558
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:13,044
there in the world.
559
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:16,882
And that's what a title does.
560
00:25:16,948 --> 00:25:20,685
It will also send a message that
I'm not some sickly old man on
561
00:25:20,752 --> 00:25:21,586
his way out.
562
00:25:21,653 --> 00:25:22,821
>> Victoria: Oh, come on.
563
00:25:22,888 --> 00:25:26,858
I think you're making a big deal
out of a very small issue.
564
00:25:26,925 --> 00:25:30,595
It's obvious that you're the
strong, smart businessman that
565
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:32,264
you've always been.
566
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:34,032
>> Ashland: No.
567
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:36,701
That reputation you just
described -- I lost that because
568
00:25:36,768 --> 00:25:37,903
of the illness.
569
00:25:37,969 --> 00:25:42,040
I need to get that back if I'm
gonna operate a full capacity.
570
00:25:42,107 --> 00:25:48,914
I am proposing that we change my
title to co-CEO.
571
00:25:48,980 --> 00:25:52,450
Now, we can have a provision in
there in case something goes
572
00:25:52,517 --> 00:25:56,121
wrong, if my conditions changes
and I need to step back or, God
573
00:25:56,187 --> 00:25:57,689
forbid, step out entirely.
574
00:25:57,756 --> 00:26:02,327
But this makes sense.
575
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:04,529
What do you think?
576
00:26:04,596 --> 00:26:06,298
Do you have a problem with
sharing the work?
577
00:26:06,364 --> 00:26:08,066
Do you have a problem with
sharing the title?
578
00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:09,367
>> Victoria: No.
579
00:26:09,434 --> 00:26:11,202
I'm not thinking of either of
those things.
580
00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:13,238
>> Ashland: Then I can tell that
you're hesitant.
581
00:26:13,305 --> 00:26:14,439
What -- What is it?
582
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:16,574
>> Victoria: I'm really, really
worried that it might worsen
583
00:26:16,641 --> 00:26:20,412
your condition.
584
00:26:20,478 --> 00:26:23,214
>> Victor: Why would
Ashland Locke lie about his
585
00:26:23,281 --> 00:26:24,916
recovery?
586
00:26:24,983 --> 00:26:28,520
My gut tells me it's about much
more than wanting to protect our
587
00:26:28,586 --> 00:26:29,788
daughter.
588
00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:33,091
>> Nikki: Victor you don't even
know if you can believe the man
589
00:26:33,158 --> 00:26:34,292
on this video.
590
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,295
Now, I'm not gonna have you
alienating Victoria by stirring
591
00:26:37,362 --> 00:26:40,398
up trouble in her marriage,
especially when we don't even
592
00:26:40,465 --> 00:26:41,633
know if this is true.
593
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,636
>> Victor: Sweetheart, don't you
worry.
594
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:47,605
I'm gonna handle all this with
extreme caution for Victoria's
595
00:26:47,672 --> 00:26:50,408
sake, alright?
596
00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:51,309
>> Adam: Hello, Nikki.
597
00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:52,143
>> Victor: Hey, son.
598
00:26:52,210 --> 00:26:54,412
>> Adam: Dad.
599
00:26:54,479 --> 00:26:56,348
Hope I'm not interrupting
anything.
600
00:26:56,414 --> 00:26:59,517
But I wanted to let you know
that I've done a lot of thinking
601
00:26:59,584 --> 00:27:00,652
since we last spoke.
602
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:02,988
>> Victor: So have I, son.
603
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:14,065
>> Jack: Wait, wait, wait.
604
00:27:14,132 --> 00:27:14,899
Stop there.
605
00:27:14,966 --> 00:27:19,004
Go back.
606
00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:22,340
It's a memorial website.
607
00:27:22,407 --> 00:27:26,544
It's Keemo's photo.
608
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:29,981
Oh, dear God, my son is dead.
609
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:34,019
[ Breathing heavily ]
610
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:37,622
>> Sharon: I know the idea of
611
00:27:37,689 --> 00:27:40,992
talking to someone about these
very personal things can feel
612
00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:42,227
daunting.
613
00:27:42,293 --> 00:27:45,030
>> Chance: I guess I just don't
know what I'd say, what there
614
00:27:45,096 --> 00:27:46,831
even is to say.
615
00:27:46,898 --> 00:27:49,501
I, um...
616
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:53,638
I just don't think I have it in
me, you know, whatever it is a
617
00:27:53,705 --> 00:27:55,607
parent's supposed to feel.
618
00:27:55,673 --> 00:27:57,108
Abby's got it. Devon has it.
619
00:27:57,175 --> 00:27:59,544
And I just don't think I do.
620
00:27:59,611 --> 00:28:03,048
>> Sharon: Listen, Chance, I
admire you for wanting to be a
621
00:28:03,114 --> 00:28:06,184
better father and a better
husband.
622
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:10,889
Trust me when I say these things
can and will happen.
623
00:28:10,955 --> 00:28:13,758
First and foremost, you have to
do this for yourself, and you've
624
00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:15,226
taken the first step.
625
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:18,763
You know, wanting to get help --
that's a sign of strength.
626
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:20,698
Don't ever forget that.
627
00:28:20,765 --> 00:28:22,767
>> Abby: Well, thank you for
those words.
628
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:24,602
I think we both really needed to
hear them.
629
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:25,937
>> Sharon: Sure.
630
00:28:26,004 --> 00:28:27,939
Um, anytime you need anything,
just call me.
631
00:28:28,006 --> 00:28:28,807
I'm happy to help.
632
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:29,908
Good luck with the list.
633
00:28:29,974 --> 00:28:30,975
>> Chance: Thank you.
634
00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:40,552
>> Abby: Thank you so much.
635
00:28:40,618 --> 00:28:41,719
I'm so grateful for your help.
636
00:28:41,786 --> 00:28:43,154
>> Sharon: Let me know how it
goes.
637
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:45,290
>> Abby: Yeah.
638
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:51,062
>> Chance: Hi.
639
00:28:51,129 --> 00:28:52,664
Uh, this is Chance Chancellor.
640
00:28:52,730 --> 00:28:56,868
I was, um, referred to you by
Sharon Rosales.
641
00:28:56,935 --> 00:29:00,438
Yes, I was hoping I could make
an appointment with you.
642
00:29:00,505 --> 00:29:03,575
As soon as possible.
643
00:29:03,641 --> 00:29:05,376
Yeah, that's, uh -- that's
great.
644
00:29:05,443 --> 00:29:06,511
That's perfect.
645
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:07,812
Thank you.
646
00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:10,081
Look forward to it.
647
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,591
>> Nate: Ashland and I just
kind of hit it off.
648
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:22,494
It all started with me helping
him through a bad moment with
649
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,362
his illness and took off from
there.
650
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:25,930
>> Amanda: Literally.
651
00:29:25,997 --> 00:29:30,235
I mean, the man did fly you and
Elena on his private jet to
652
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:32,070
Tuscany for his wedding.
653
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:34,105
>> Elena: Who wouldn't hit it
off with a guy like that, right?
654
00:29:34,172 --> 00:29:36,074
>> Nate: [ Laughs ] Very funny.
655
00:29:36,141 --> 00:29:39,644
Listen, I know we are the
unlikeliest of friends.
656
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:43,781
We definitely have completely
different perspectives and life
657
00:29:43,848 --> 00:29:44,616
experiences.
658
00:29:44,682 --> 00:29:45,850
>> Devon: Yeah, you think?
659
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:49,187
>> Nate: I kind of have joked
about the insufferable aspects
660
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:50,288
of my new job.
661
00:29:50,355 --> 00:29:52,123
Ashland took it seriously.
662
00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:56,127
He sensed my dissatisfaction ran
deep, so when he offered me the
663
00:29:56,194 --> 00:29:59,697
job, I thought he was joking, so
I just dismissed it.
664
00:29:59,764 --> 00:30:01,432
But he never gave up.
665
00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:04,769
And he finally convinced me
that, uh, making this move could
666
00:30:04,836 --> 00:30:06,604
be an exciting new challenge.
667
00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:08,907
>> Elena: And I think so, too.
668
00:30:08,973 --> 00:30:13,378
I'm really happy for Nate, and I
support him 100%.
669
00:30:13,444 --> 00:30:14,579
>> Devon: Yeah, I do, too, man.
670
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:16,648
I'm just surprised that you
didn't want to come and work at
671
00:30:16,714 --> 00:30:18,750
Hamilton-Winters since Neil
already put on you the board.
672
00:30:18,816 --> 00:30:20,752
You could be a part of the
family business.
673
00:30:20,818 --> 00:30:22,387
>> Elena: Geez, Nate.
674
00:30:22,453 --> 00:30:25,790
For someone with no experience
in business, you sure are awash
675
00:30:25,857 --> 00:30:27,025
in offers.
676
00:30:27,091 --> 00:30:29,961
>> Nate: Lily also offered me
the opportunity to work with her
677
00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:31,429
at Chancellor Industries.
678
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:32,463
>> Devon: Is that right?
679
00:30:32,530 --> 00:30:34,065
Well, you're just the man of the
hour, aren't you?
680
00:30:34,132 --> 00:30:37,969
>> Nate: [ Laughs ]
Listen, Devon, I appreciate the
681
00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:43,541
offer, but, um, Ashland got this
ball rolling, so I feel like
682
00:30:43,608 --> 00:30:48,046
working with him is the best
move for me.
683
00:30:48,112 --> 00:30:49,847
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ] But I
want you to understand something
684
00:30:49,914 --> 00:30:51,082
right now.
685
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:56,054
This isn't coming from anywhere
other than my pure concern for
686
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,056
your health.
687
00:30:58,122 --> 00:31:01,125
I mean, I have been going
through all of this with you,
688
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:02,393
and I've seen you.
689
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:05,863
I've seen you trying to present
this strong front to the world.
690
00:31:05,930 --> 00:31:10,468
And I've seen the toll that the
chemo's taken on you, and...
691
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:13,004
I just don't want you to push
yourself too hard, that's all.
692
00:31:13,071 --> 00:31:20,144
Why would we risk undoing all of
the progress that we've made?
693
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:25,383
>> Ashland: Yeah.
694
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:32,924
I know this has been hard on
you, the fear, the worry.
695
00:31:32,991 --> 00:31:37,595
But I need you to understand
something.
696
00:31:37,662 --> 00:31:43,568
Although I'm optimistic
about my condition...
697
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:46,371
I know the reality.
698
00:31:46,437 --> 00:31:51,276
I don't believe for one second
I've been magically cured.
699
00:31:51,342 --> 00:31:55,947
But I feel better now than I
have in a very long time.
700
00:31:56,014 --> 00:32:01,552
And I want to live what's left
of my life -- of our life --
701
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:02,720
to the fullest extent.
702
00:32:02,787 --> 00:32:05,290
>> Victoria: But I want you to
stay healthy.
703
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:06,724
Can you not understand that?
704
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:09,661
>> Ashland: I think it's the
work that's making me feel
705
00:32:09,727 --> 00:32:11,863
better.
706
00:32:11,929 --> 00:32:15,800
When I have purpose, I feel more
like myself.
707
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:18,903
I feel stronger.
708
00:32:18,970 --> 00:32:21,005
I feel in control.
709
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:29,147
I feel like there's something
else here, though.
710
00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:31,416
There's some other thing that
you're hesitant about.
711
00:32:31,482 --> 00:32:32,650
What is it?
712
00:32:32,717 --> 00:32:35,687
>> Victoria: Well, I guess
you're right.
713
00:32:35,753 --> 00:32:38,289
I mean, since you're being
honest, I need to be honest,
714
00:32:38,356 --> 00:32:40,958
too.
715
00:32:41,025 --> 00:32:44,062
This is about my title.
716
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:45,396
I'm sorry.
717
00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:48,599
I guess it's because my father
put it in my head that I need to
718
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:52,770
be on my guard because you're
getting better and stronger,
719
00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:56,541
as if you might be some kind of
threat to me or the company.
720
00:32:56,607 --> 00:33:00,478
[ Sighs ]
>> Ashland: He's wrong about
721
00:33:00,545 --> 00:33:01,579
that.
722
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:04,682
>> Victoria: I know that, and
I'm not going to pay any
723
00:33:04,749 --> 00:33:09,454
attention to what my father has
to say about that.
724
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,257
[ Sighs ] I do want to be
partners with you, in every way
725
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:14,325
possible.
726
00:33:14,392 --> 00:33:16,427
I do.
727
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:18,563
So...let's do this.
728
00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:20,064
Let's make it official.
729
00:33:20,131 --> 00:33:23,267
I am gonna have the contracts
drawn up right away.
730
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:24,335
Okay?
731
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:27,271
>> Ashland: Okay.
732
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:28,940
>> Victoria: But don't get me
wrong.
733
00:33:29,006 --> 00:33:32,110
I am still very concerned about
your health.
734
00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:34,812
But I'm sorry I hesitated.
735
00:33:34,879 --> 00:33:36,481
I love you.
736
00:33:36,547 --> 00:33:40,118
>> Ashland: I love you.
737
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:44,555
And this is going to be the
beginning of something very
738
00:33:44,622 --> 00:33:46,257
exciting.
739
00:33:46,324 --> 00:33:48,493
>> Victoria: Yes.
740
00:33:56,868 --> 00:34:02,673
>> Adam: I'm here to apologize,
Dad.
741
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:06,110
I was thinking about what you
said earlier.
742
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:08,880
And you were right.
743
00:34:08,946 --> 00:34:11,182
It was hubris talking.
744
00:34:11,249 --> 00:34:17,021
I wasn't thinking about family
or company, loyalty.
745
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:21,793
I was thinking about myself
and trying to make a point
746
00:34:21,859 --> 00:34:25,229
and being right.
747
00:34:25,296 --> 00:34:27,999
You've given me a great
opportunity, and I'm gonna make
748
00:34:28,065 --> 00:34:29,567
the most of it.
749
00:34:29,634 --> 00:34:33,738
So I've decided to stay on at
Newman Media.
750
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:37,909
>> Victor: Glad to hear that.
751
00:34:37,975 --> 00:34:39,944
Have you spoken to Victoria
lately?
752
00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:45,049
>> Adam: No, I haven't seen or
spoke to her today.
753
00:34:45,116 --> 00:34:46,317
Why?
754
00:34:46,384 --> 00:34:48,352
Don't tell me that you tried to
pressure her to smooth the
755
00:34:48,419 --> 00:34:50,455
waters over with me.
756
00:34:50,521 --> 00:34:54,325
>> Victor: Son...
757
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:57,862
all I want...
758
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:01,499
is to protect my family...
759
00:35:01,566 --> 00:35:04,969
bring us all together.
760
00:35:05,036 --> 00:35:08,239
>> Adam: Just so you know, I'm
not gonna spy on Ashland for
761
00:35:08,306 --> 00:35:09,106
you.
762
00:35:09,173 --> 00:35:13,511
>> Victor: You no longer need to
do that.
763
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:18,483
Let me just say that things are
going on at Newman/Locke that
764
00:35:18,549 --> 00:35:21,752
I'm observing very closely.
765
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:25,389
>> Adam: I assume this refers to
what you mentioned earlier about
766
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:27,492
Ashland?
767
00:35:27,558 --> 00:35:31,128
Is there something going on with
him?
768
00:35:31,195 --> 00:35:39,070
>> Victor: I've even more reason
to believe that I am right.
769
00:35:39,136 --> 00:35:42,974
But the most important thing is
that I can count on you.
770
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,377
>> Adam: Absolutely.
771
00:35:46,444 --> 00:35:50,181
>> Victor: Because, son...
772
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:53,885
all hell is about to break
loose.
