>> Nick: You know what, Dad?
163
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:14,787
Just call me when you need me.
164
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,455
>> Victoria: Dad's in Adam's
office, and he can see us now.
165
00:09:16,522 --> 00:09:19,592
>> Ashland: Fantastic.
Let's go meet with Victor.
166
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:21,961
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Oh.
167
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:30,236
Hang on.
168
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:32,972
Uh...
>> Nikki: Something wrong?
169
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:38,577
>> Victor: So there isn't much
170
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:45,284
time left, son.
Nicholas is gone.
171
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:46,352
Would you support me?
172
00:09:54,293 --> 00:09:56,329
>> Ashland: No, no, nothing's
wrong at all, Nikki.
173
00:09:56,395 --> 00:09:58,264
It was -- It's a small personnel
issue.
174
00:09:58,331 --> 00:10:01,100
It doesn't at all rise to the
level of -- of what we're about
175
00:10:01,167 --> 00:10:02,601
to do, so...
>> Nikki: Ah.
176
00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:05,471
I must have misread the
expression on your face when you
177
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:08,441
read that text.
>> Ashland: Really?
178
00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:12,011
Oh, it was just a -- it was a
former Locke Communications
179
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:15,748
Group executive that we had to
let go because of the merger.
180
00:10:15,815 --> 00:10:18,884
He wants to have, you know,
"a call," and, uh...
181
00:10:18,951 --> 00:10:22,355
Well, you know, now that I think
about it, he probably deserves
182
00:10:22,421 --> 00:10:24,190
one.
Why don't you go on ahead, and
183
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:26,225
I'll catch up with you?
>> Victoria: Sure, I'll see you
184
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,427
soon.
>> Ashland: Okay.
185
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:37,436
>> Rey: You know, as much as I'm
186
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:41,207
looking forward to Mariah and
Tessa's big day, however crazy
187
00:10:41,273 --> 00:10:46,479
it may be, nothing will surpass
the day we got married.
188
00:10:46,545 --> 00:10:48,714
>> Sharon: Aww, our wedding was
amazing.
189
00:10:48,781 --> 00:10:50,616
>> Rey: Mm-hmm.
>> Sharon: And you're right, it
190
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:51,984
came together with a little bit
of magic.
191
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:55,321
>> Rey: Yeah.
You know what I remember most?
192
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:59,658
Staring into those big,
beautiful blue eyes.
193
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:02,595
>> Sharon: You know, everything
kind of faded away during the
194
00:11:02,661 --> 00:11:04,463
ceremony, but the reception was
fun.
195
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:06,966
>> Rey: It's true.
There were some great toasts.
196
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:08,701
We're gonna have to reciprocate
for Mariah's.
197
00:11:08,768 --> 00:11:12,838
>> Sharon: Yes.
>> Rey: And we cannot forget the
198
00:11:12,905 --> 00:11:14,807
best man.
>> Nick: What?
199
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:17,376
>> Rey: Well, we were talking
about wedding toasts with Mariah
200
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:21,514
and Tessa's wedding coming up.
>> Nick: Oh, yeah, right.
201
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:23,349
>> Sharon: Is something wrong?
What happened?
202
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,818
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
I don't want to talk about it.
203
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:28,087
>> Rey: You know, I -- Yeah, I
got to check in with the
204
00:11:28,154 --> 00:11:33,225
station.
205
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:36,896
>> Sharon: You seem angry.
What's going on?
206
00:11:36,962 --> 00:11:39,765
>> Nick: I don't know what's
best, you know, talking about it
207
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:43,769
or just bottling it up inside.
>> Sharon: Nick, you can talk to
208
00:11:43,836 --> 00:11:45,471
me.
You know you can trust me with
209
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:50,643
anything.
210
00:11:50,709 --> 00:11:54,380
>> Nick: Alright, it's Ashland.
He has done something so
211
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:57,049
despicable this time -- I mean,
the worst thing of his life, and
212
00:11:57,116 --> 00:12:00,920
considering who he is and what
he's done, that's saying a lot.
213
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:03,322
But this time, it could destroy
Victoria, and I don't know how
214
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:08,160
to help her.
215
00:12:08,227 --> 00:12:11,997
>> Victoria: I have some news,
Dad.
216
00:12:12,064 --> 00:12:26,946
Adam.
217
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:29,215
Adam.
218
00:12:29,281 --> 00:12:37,256
>> Victor: Ashland.
I'm done playing games with you.
219
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:44,096
Okay? It ends now.
>> Ashland: Uh...what ends now?
220
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:45,164
>> Victor: The charade is over.
221
00:12:54,707 --> 00:12:57,076
>> Nick: So Dad had Michael go
down to Peru and check out that
222
00:12:57,143 --> 00:13:01,347
clinic where Ashland received
his miracle cure.
223
00:13:01,413 --> 00:13:04,850
>> Sharon: Look, I know you've
never been a fan of Locke, but
224
00:13:04,917 --> 00:13:08,087
what was so suspicious about him
previously making those
225
00:13:08,154 --> 00:13:13,692
donations to that facility?
>> Nick: You always want to
226
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:17,630
believe the best in everyone,
but this time Dad's instincts
227
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:19,899
were right.
Michael went down there and got
228
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:22,501
a couple of the doctors who
worked there at the clinic to go
229
00:13:22,568 --> 00:13:25,137
on record saying that Ashland
bribed them to make it seem like
230
00:13:25,204 --> 00:13:28,073
he was really suffering from his
cancer and that the treatment
231
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,243
they gave him sent him into
remission.
232
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:34,180
But in reality, he was never
sick at all.
233
00:13:34,246 --> 00:13:38,217
>> Sharon: Ashland faked his
cancer?
234
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:41,287
I can't even wrap my head around
that.
235
00:13:41,353 --> 00:13:44,723
>> Nick: And Vick has no idea
that she's being lied to about
236
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:47,993
this seriously huge thing.
And, I mean, Ashland just used
237
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:51,497
her to get his hands on the
company.
238
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:54,567
>> Sharon: Wow, I don't know
what to say.
239
00:13:54,633 --> 00:13:57,203
>> Nick: Don't say anything,
Sharon, alright?
240
00:13:57,269 --> 00:14:00,873
This has to stay between us.
I came to you because I needed
241
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:03,776
somebody to talk to about it.
>> Sharon: Of course, I'm not
242
00:14:03,842 --> 00:14:06,779
gonna tell anyone about this.
Why haven't you told Victoria?
243
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:09,114
Don't you think this is
something she should know, like,
244
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:11,250
right now?
>> Nick: Because Dad said he's
245
00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:14,620
got some plan, some way to deal
with this where Victoria suffers
246
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:17,289
the least amount possible.
>> Sharon: Well, I'm sure he has
247
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:20,125
her best interests at heart, but
to keep something like this from
248
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:21,860
her, something this big?
That's risky.
249
00:14:21,927 --> 00:14:25,197
>> Nick: The last time I went to
her and told her about all the
250
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:28,367
horrible things that Ashland has
done, she was okay with it.
251
00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:30,736
Why would this time be any
different?
252
00:14:30,803 --> 00:14:33,172
>> Sharon: I don't think you're
giving your sister enough
253
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:35,741
credit.
If what you're saying is true,
254
00:14:35,808 --> 00:14:39,979
what Ashland did is disgusting.
It's unforgivable.
255
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:44,016
He has destroyed every ounce of
trust that Victoria had in him,
256
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:48,020
and as a cancer survivor, I am
appalled that he would use that
257
00:14:48,087 --> 00:14:50,789
as a selfish ploy.
There's no way in hell that
258
00:14:50,856 --> 00:14:55,027
Victoria will be alright with
that.
259
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:58,430
>> Adam: Really great to see
you, sis.
260
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:00,799
You seem like you're in a good
mood today.
261
00:15:00,866 --> 00:15:03,469
So to what do I owe this
pleasure?
262
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,304
>> Victoria: Where did Dad go?
What is he doing?
263
00:15:05,371 --> 00:15:08,040
>> Adam: I don't know.
Could be any number of things.
264
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:11,210
But he said he'd be right back.
>> Victoria: I don't understand
265
00:15:11,277 --> 00:15:13,312
why he would just leave when I
said I had something important
266
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:16,615
to discuss with him.
>> Adam: Well, hey, maybe you
267
00:15:16,682 --> 00:15:19,685
could bounce your ideas off of
me first.
268
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:23,222
>> Victoria: No, thank you.
>> Adam: Why not?
269
00:15:23,289 --> 00:15:25,924
Now that I'm working with you --
>> Victoria: You work for me.
270
00:15:25,991 --> 00:15:28,961
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Yes.
271
00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:31,664
You are my boss, and that's the
point.
272
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:35,301
We are on the same team, and I
want the company -- our
273
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:39,405
company -- to succeed, and I
would be happy to give you my
274
00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:41,507
insights.
>> Victoria: This is too high
275
00:15:41,573 --> 00:15:44,910
level for you to weigh in on,
so just have Dad call me when he
276
00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:46,545
gets back.
>> Adam: Hey, hey, as long as
277
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:51,150
you're here, I'd love to get
some thoughts on some potential
278
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:54,553
areas of expansion for
Newman Media.
279
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:58,057
>> Ashland: Locking the door is
280
00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:01,760
a little dramatic, don't you
think, Victor?
281
00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:04,697
I mean, I'm not exactly sure
what's happening right now.
282
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:08,233
What exactly is the charade
you're accusing me of
283
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:15,107
perpetrating?
>> Victor: Ashland.
284
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:21,146
You don't have cancer.
285
00:16:21,213 --> 00:16:23,449
You never did.
>> Ashland: I'm sorry, is this
286
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:27,519
some kind of a joke?
No?
287
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:30,723
Okay, uh, well, talk to my
doctors, and they will tell you
288
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:33,859
my cancer is real.
>> Victor: The doctors you paid
289
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:37,196
off?
Or the ones that you supplied
290
00:16:37,262 --> 00:16:42,434
with falsified medical records?
>> Ashland: That's a hell of an
291
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:47,239
accusation.
Why would I even attempt such a
292
00:16:47,306 --> 00:16:50,609
thing?
I mean, what would be the goal?
293
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:54,646
>> Victor: Power.
Control.
294
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:58,784
You have dreamt of combining
or merging Newman Enterprises
295
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:03,889
with Locke Communications
to create a behemoth of a
296
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:10,062
company that you would preside
over, rule.
297
00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:12,865
>> Ashland: Okay, that's crazy.
>> Victor: Uh-huh.
298
00:17:12,931 --> 00:17:17,436
>> Ashland: Uh...besides,
Victoria is the one who's been
299
00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:20,406
driving the merger.
>> Victor: You put the idea of
300
00:17:20,472 --> 00:17:25,911
the merger in her head.
It worked.
301
00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:30,482
Because she thought you only had
a few months left to live.
302
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:34,186
You managed to make her feel
sorry for you.
303
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:38,624
A man just about to die of
cancer, my goodness.
304
00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:43,162
Who wouldn't be moved by that?
You played that game
305
00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:47,232
masterfully.
But now it's over.
306
00:17:57,876 --> 00:17:58,544
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
307
00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:20,799
>> Mariah: I'm not sure what
308
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:24,703
combining our top three ideas
would even look like.
309
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:27,139
>> Tessa: Okay, well, I'm
thinking that it would involve
310
00:18:27,206 --> 00:18:33,045
art, music, and perhaps
costumes.
311
00:18:33,111 --> 00:18:35,781
>> Mariah: Alright, where are we
gonna do it?
312
00:18:35,848 --> 00:18:38,617
>> Tessa: Okay, well, a
destination wedding is seeming
313
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:42,688
too complicated, so let's keep
it local, and we'll surround
314
00:18:42,754 --> 00:18:46,091
ourselves with art that we love
from Chicago museums and then
315
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:49,728
we'll get one of our favorite
bands to play.
316
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:51,663
>> Mariah: Okay, what about the
murder mystery them?
317
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:53,398
'Cause we talked about that
before.
318
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:56,702
>> Tessa: It seems a little dark
for a celebration.
319
00:18:56,768 --> 00:19:00,038
>> Mariah: Okay.
But, you know, we got to have
320
00:19:00,105 --> 00:19:03,208
something that sets this apart
from a typical ceremony.
321
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:09,147
I mean, everybody has music and
decorations.
322
00:19:09,214 --> 00:19:13,085
>> Tessa: Maybe we pick a time
period from our favorite mystery
323
00:19:13,151 --> 00:19:18,123
and dress in that style.
Like -- Ooh, ooh, like London in
324
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:22,728
the '60s.
It'll be Mod influenced.
325
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:26,398
Oh, you hate it.
>> Mariah: No, no.
326
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:28,000
>> Tessa: Mm, you think it's too
complicated.
327
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:32,804
>> Mariah: [ Stammers ]
That's not exactly what I think.
328
00:19:32,871 --> 00:19:36,408
>> Tessa: Okay, so -- so what
are you thinking?
329
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:42,114
>> Mariah: I'm thinking that we
don't quite have it yet.
330
00:19:42,180 --> 00:19:46,985
But I know that eventually it's
just gonna come to us, and then
331
00:19:47,052 --> 00:19:52,057
we are going to have the best
wedding ever.
332
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:54,927
>> Tessa: [ Sighs ]
>> Nick: Believe me, I'm as
333
00:19:54,993 --> 00:20:01,333
bothered by this as you are.
>> Sharon: Noah.
334
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,937
You look like you just rolled
out of bed and in the coffee
335
00:20:05,003 --> 00:20:06,371
house.
>> Noah: Do I?
336
00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:08,974
>> Nick: Late night?
>> Sharon: Oh, I can answer that
337
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:12,911
because I heard him roll in just
after dawn.
338
00:20:12,978 --> 00:20:15,948
I mean, I'm really glad that I
realized you had started staying
339
00:20:16,014 --> 00:20:18,850
at our house again after that
stint at your dad's or I might
340
00:20:18,917 --> 00:20:22,955
have thought we had a prowler.
>> Noah: That would have been
341
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:24,022
bad.
Yeah.
342
00:20:24,089 --> 00:20:27,359
Sorry, I promise I was trying my
best to be quiet.
343
00:20:27,426 --> 00:20:30,095
>> Sharon: No, you were!
Until you knocked over that
344
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:32,331
lamp.
>> Noah: Okay, I see where this
345
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:35,467
is going, and to answer your
question, no, I was not
346
00:20:35,534 --> 00:20:37,869
drinking.
I'm just clumsy.
347
00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:41,406
I was catching up with some girl
I met back in high school, and I
348
00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:43,742
lost track of time.
>> Sharon: Oh, was this a
349
00:20:43,809 --> 00:20:46,511
romantic kind of evening?
>> Nick: Whoa, whoa.
350
00:20:46,578 --> 00:20:48,680
You don't have to talk about
that.
351
00:20:48,747 --> 00:20:52,017
That is none of our business.
>> Noah: She's just a friend,
352
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:55,821
but I got to admit, it was nice
staying up all night talking,
353
00:20:55,887 --> 00:20:58,090
blowing off some steam.
>> Nick: And you are a grown
354
00:20:58,156 --> 00:20:59,691
man.
You can stay out as late as you
355
00:20:59,758 --> 00:21:00,792
want.
>> Sharon: Indeed.
356
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:02,361
>> Noah: Okay, good to know.
Thank you.
357
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:07,265
>> Nick: I do, however, prefer a
well-rested employee.
358
00:21:07,332 --> 00:21:09,968
>> Noah: [ Sighs ]
You see, this is the problem
359
00:21:10,035 --> 00:21:12,838
with working for your dad and
living with your mom.
360
00:21:12,904 --> 00:21:14,072
>> Nick: I didn't say it was an
issue.
361
00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:16,475
>> Sharon: And we love having
you stay at the house.
362
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:18,944
>> Noah: Alright, guys, I
promise I'm on top of everything
363
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:22,414
over at New Hope, and I will get
a good night's sleep tonight.
364
00:21:22,481 --> 00:21:25,083
Okay?
Now, please, stop worrying about
365
00:21:25,150 --> 00:21:28,020
me so much, really.
Come on.
366
00:21:28,086 --> 00:21:32,858
>> Ashland: Victor, think about
367
00:21:32,924 --> 00:21:37,696
what you're saying.
It doesn't -- It's not rational.
368
00:21:37,763 --> 00:21:39,831
It's nothing more than an
outrageous conjecture.
369
00:21:39,898 --> 00:21:44,436
Now, first of all, you know how
publicly humiliated I was when
370
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:47,606
my illness was splattered all
over the press.
371
00:21:47,673 --> 00:21:51,143
>> Victor: Hmm.
You probably leaked that story
372
00:21:51,209 --> 00:21:55,180
yourself, didn't you?
>> Ashland: And what about
373
00:21:55,247 --> 00:21:57,315
Harrison?
Are you suggesting I purposely
374
00:21:57,382 --> 00:22:00,519
walked away from him, that I --
that I told him I was dying when
375
00:22:00,585 --> 00:22:02,587
I wasn't?
Why would I do that to my own
376
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:05,123
son?
>> Victor: Turns out he isn't
377
00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:07,092
even your son.
>> Ashland: You have crossed
378
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:09,294
over a line right there.
[ Chuckles ]
379
00:22:09,361 --> 00:22:14,399
I mean, your daughter told me
you could be cold and cruel.
380
00:22:14,466 --> 00:22:20,238
>> Victor: I can be very cold
and very cruel.
381
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:24,943
Stop the bull.
I know what you've done.
382
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:29,081
>> Ashland: Okay.
What have I done?
383
00:22:29,147 --> 00:22:32,350
>> Victor: I have evidence that
you paid off the doctors at that
384
00:22:32,417 --> 00:22:37,055
clinic in Peru, where they have
this miraculous cure for cancer.
385
00:22:37,122 --> 00:22:40,125
You paid them off to falsify
your records.
386
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:44,296
Now, I have people in Peru right
now gathering more information
387
00:22:44,362 --> 00:22:47,599
about your shenanigans down
there.
388
00:22:47,666 --> 00:22:51,436
You're done.
>> Ashland: [ Chuckles ]
389
00:22:51,503 --> 00:22:54,673
Victor, I have enemies all over
the world, and you know
390
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:57,743
something?
So do you.
391
00:22:57,809 --> 00:23:02,981
Now, whoever's feeding you these
lies clearly has a score to
392
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:07,586
settle with me.
Doesn't this feel like a set-up?
393
00:23:07,652 --> 00:23:09,721
Hmm?
>> Victor: You stop your
394
00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:14,292
nonsense.
What you've done to my company,
395
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,329
what you've done to my family,
what you have done to my
396
00:23:17,395 --> 00:23:20,232
daughter, my wife, and my
grandchildren.
397
00:23:20,298 --> 00:23:26,471
No one uses my family as a pawn
in their dreadful game.
398
00:23:26,538 --> 00:23:31,977
You got that?
Now, you listen to me carefully.
399
00:23:32,043 --> 00:23:36,414
Under no circumstances will you
let my daughter Victoria feel
400
00:23:36,481 --> 00:23:42,821
that she was subject and victim
of a hoax, a cruel hoax.
401
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:46,992
I'd rather have her heart broken
than her spirit broken
402
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:51,530
by the likes of you.
And I will tell you what you're
403
00:23:51,596 --> 00:23:55,400
gonna do.
>> Adam: Well, after we get
404
00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:58,804
through the initial necessary
streamlining due to the merger,
405
00:23:58,870 --> 00:24:02,140
we're gonna obviously focus on
growth and ways to expand the
406
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:07,913
content and...monetize it.
>> Victoria: That's called
407
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:10,182
business, Adam, and I really
don't have time to sit here and
408
00:24:10,248 --> 00:24:13,585
listen to the specifics.
>> Adam: Okay.
409
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:18,857
Well, let me run another idea by
you about the news division.
410
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:21,092
You know, if we were to
incorporate all those brands
411
00:24:21,159 --> 00:24:23,528
under our roof, we'd have
something for every demographic,
412
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,331
and I think that --
>> Victoria: You know, that's
413
00:24:26,398 --> 00:24:30,602
over-ambitious and unfocused.
Why don't you run your ideas by
414
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:34,840
your brilliant new COO, or is
Sally too busy designing a
415
00:24:34,906 --> 00:24:38,677
business suit so that she can
look the part?
416
00:24:38,743 --> 00:24:40,912
>> Adam: Sally is more than
capable of designing her own
417
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:44,349
wardrobe.
She is busy working on the
418
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:46,551
budget at the moment.
>> Victoria: Can't wait to
419
00:24:46,618 --> 00:24:51,623
crunch those numbers.
>> Adam: Victoria, why don't you
420
00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:55,627
just calm down the condescension
for a bit, okay?
421
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:58,296
I know that you met with Sally
and she had some pretty
422
00:24:58,363 --> 00:25:01,199
impressive ideas that not even
you could shoot down.
423
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:04,436
>> Victoria: Oh, really?
Is that how she characterized
424
00:25:04,502 --> 00:25:07,339
our run-in?
I mean, I did point out to her
425
00:25:07,405 --> 00:25:11,276
that she is very, very confident
in herself.
426
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,478
But maybe that's because
apparently she's sleeping with
427
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:18,183
the boss.
>> Adam: That's a low blow, even
428
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:20,218
for you.
>> Victoria: Oh, but it's true,
429
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:24,556
right?
>> Adam: I'm not gonna dignify
430
00:25:24,623 --> 00:25:28,026
that with a response.
But need I remind you that you
431
00:25:28,093 --> 00:25:31,663
share your sheets with your
chief advisor.
432
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:33,565
>> Victoria: Ashland and I are
married.
433
00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:38,436
And Ashland is much more than an
advisor, as you will soon find
434
00:25:38,503 --> 00:25:42,007
out.
>> Adam: What does that mean?
435
00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:44,009
>> Victoria: Let's get a few
things straight, shall we?
436
00:25:44,075 --> 00:25:49,114
You need to give Ashland the
respect that he has earned.
437
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:51,216
>> Adam: Is that so?
>> Victoria: And I'm really not
438
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:53,418
gonna put up with you running
off to Daddy every time you get
439
00:25:53,485 --> 00:25:56,755
your feelings hurt.
I don't know, maybe you have
440
00:25:56,821 --> 00:25:59,925
delusion that you're gonna run
the entire company again, but if
441
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:03,061
that's what's going on here, I
would get rid of that pipe dream
442
00:26:03,128 --> 00:26:07,666
if I were you, because Ashland
and I, we're running the show.
443
00:26:07,732 --> 00:26:10,769
>> Adam: You sound awfully
confident in yourself.
444
00:26:10,835 --> 00:26:13,004
>> Victoria: That's because I
am.
445
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:15,106
What Ashland and I have is very
special.
446
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:16,708
>> Adam: Ah.
>> Victoria: Yeah.
447
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:17,776
>> Adam: Yeah.
That's one word for it.
448
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:26,785
>> Mariah: Now, I do think I
449
00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:30,422
want our wedding to be
interactive in some way.
450
00:26:30,488 --> 00:26:36,728
Like, maybe we can give people,
uh...a role or, like, a job or
451
00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:39,864
something.
Or do you think that people
452
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:43,835
would not be able to relax and
enjoy themselves?
453
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:46,972
But, like, I don't know, maybe
it would make them appreciate
454
00:26:47,038 --> 00:26:51,743
the day more and...
What?
455
00:26:51,810 --> 00:26:55,780
What is it?
>> Tessa: I think you should
456
00:26:55,847 --> 00:26:59,918
stop talking.
>> Mariah: You think that I'm
457
00:26:59,985 --> 00:27:02,887
way overthinking this.
>> Tessa: Only in a way that
458
00:27:02,954 --> 00:27:06,191
makes me love you more.
>> Mariah: [ Chuckles ]
459
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:11,062
We just have to trust that
whatever we do, it's gonna be
460
00:27:11,129 --> 00:27:15,400
spectacular.
>> Tessa: Because it will be.
461
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,769
>> Mariah: How can you be so
sure?
462
00:27:17,836 --> 00:27:21,740
>> Tessa: I remember all of our
false starts, all the times we
463
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:25,477
got in our own way.
I take most of the blame for
464
00:27:25,543 --> 00:27:28,046
that, by the way.
>> Mariah: No, you shouldn't.
465
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:30,148
I was responsible for some of
our breakups.
466
00:27:30,215 --> 00:27:33,318
[ Chuckles ]
>> Tessa: But we always found
467
00:27:33,385 --> 00:27:36,654
our way back because I believe
that we're destined to be
468
00:27:36,721 --> 00:27:40,825
together, but I also know how
hard we fought to be with one
469
00:27:40,892 --> 00:27:45,296
another.
So I'm just grateful that we got
470
00:27:45,363 --> 00:27:48,666
to this point.
We are lucky.
471
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:52,037
Beyond lucky.
So, as much as I want our
472
00:27:52,103 --> 00:27:55,573
wedding day to honor our guests,
I really want it to just be
473
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,611
about how much we love each
other.
474
00:27:59,677 --> 00:28:05,583
>> Mariah: I agree with you
100%.
475
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:10,088
And I feel like you accidentally
just wrote a song without even
476
00:28:10,155 --> 00:28:14,192
realizing it.
I want to remember everything
477
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:17,195
that you just said forever.
And I think you might've
478
00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:20,165
stumbled onto a title without
knowing it.
479
00:28:20,231 --> 00:28:25,970
"Beyond Lucky."
>> Tessa: Hmm.
480
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:28,239
>> Sharon: We will try to stop
worrying about you, but, as
481
00:28:28,306 --> 00:28:30,041
parents, that's a pretty hard
habit to break.
482
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:34,145

right, you will call my daughter
and you will tell her that you

want a divorce.
No long legal wrangling, no

Clean divorce.
No explanation, no argument.

of Newman/Locke back to my
daughter as part of the
