When Luan fell ill, she didn't 191 00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:24,610 want anyone to know, even family. 192 00:12:24,677 --> 00:12:28,647 She never told me. I found out my accident, and I 193 00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:34,653 never let on that I knew. I thought I was being true to 194 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,593 her wishes...by not telling Keemo that his mother was dying. 195 00:12:40,659 --> 00:12:45,431 >> Allie: You never told him? >> Jack: I know now that was a 196 00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:47,700 mistake. When he found out he never would 197 00:12:47,766 --> 00:12:53,405 have a chance to say goodbye to his mother, he was devastated, 198 00:12:53,472 --> 00:12:57,943 and he was furious with me. And I tried to fix that, I -- I 199 00:12:58,010 --> 00:13:02,681 worked hard at it. I thought I had bridged the gap 200 00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:06,685 between us, but then I started receiving very bitter e-mails 201 00:13:06,752 --> 00:13:10,890 from him, and it was clear I was wrong. 202 00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:14,527 He just could not forgive me. He cut himself off. 203 00:13:14,593 --> 00:13:17,663 He changed his name. He refused to communicate with 204 00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:25,404 me. >> Allie: If this is all true, 205 00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:30,075 then clearly my father wanted nothing more to do with you. 206 00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:33,245 He denied your existence to me and my mother. 207 00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,314 So why have you come here? What are you after? 208 00:13:47,359 --> 00:13:48,460 >> Victoria: Daddy, what is 209 00:13:48,527 --> 00:13:52,598 this? What is it supposed to prove? 210 00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:55,067 >> Michael: These are records of the money sent to the doctor in 211 00:13:55,134 --> 00:14:00,439 Peru, before he disappeared. He received much more money than 212 00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:03,209 he would have earned in years. >> Victoria: Well, that's 213 00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:06,312 because whoever this is that is trying to bring Ashland down 214 00:14:06,378 --> 00:14:08,981 obviously paid the doctor to make those slanderous 215 00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:12,351 statements. >> Victor: I didn't want this to 216 00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:14,787 be true. If anything, I was hoping I was 217 00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:17,623 wrong about my presumptions about Ashland Locke. 218 00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:19,925 That's why I sent Michael Baldwin down to Peru to 219 00:14:19,992 --> 00:14:23,329 do a thorough and discreet investigation. 220 00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:27,933 And he traced the money back to an account of a shell company 221 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,770 belonging to Locke Communications. 222 00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:35,074 The papers are in there. They were sent to me by 223 00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:38,877 Michael Baldwin this morning from Peru just before he 224 00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:45,150 disappeared. >> Victoria: Wait, what? 225 00:14:45,217 --> 00:14:49,255 What do you mean "disappeared"? 226 00:14:49,321 --> 00:14:50,756 >> Nikki: What kind of proof do you think Victor could have come 227 00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:54,426 up with? >> Ashland: You know what? 228 00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:56,562 It doesn't matter.

You know that. 240 00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:30,329 He's not gonna stop until he has poisoned my wife's mind against 241 00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:33,632 me and destroyed our marriage. >> Nikki: Why would Victor do 242 00:15:33,699 --> 00:15:37,002 that if he was convinced that the evidence against is 243 00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:41,373 authentic? >> Ashland: I don't know. 244 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,011 [ Sighs ] Unless, uh -- Unless he's being 245 00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:50,015 motivated by the threat level he feels now that I'm recovered. 246 00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:52,351 >> Nikki: Oh, oh, please. Stop that right now. 247 00:15:52,418 --> 00:15:55,521 That theory is completely baseless. 248 00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:59,491 Victor is not easily threatened, certainly not by you. 249 00:15:59,558 --> 00:16:03,996 All he cares about is protecting Victoria, period. 250 00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:07,199 He has no other agenda. >> Ashland: All I care about is 251 00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:10,536 protecting Victoria, period, and our marriage. 252 00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:15,240 Nikki, be honest.
