1
00:00:02,936 --> 00:00:06,439
>> Victoria: I don't know what
to believe anymore, Nicholas.
2
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:11,378
It can't be true, can it?
>> Nick: Sounds like you're
3
00:00:11,444 --> 00:00:13,913
having doubts about Ashland
after all.
4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:16,149
>> Victoria: I'm not saying
that.
5
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:19,552
>> Nick: But it seems like
something may have shifted.
6
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:24,090
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
This is just all so crazy.
7
00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:27,160
>> Nick: Vick, you were so
certain before.
8
00:00:27,227 --> 00:00:29,562
And I know you're a very
analytical person.
9
00:00:29,629 --> 00:00:33,933
You wouldn't do something
without having good reason.
10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,538
So did some new information come
to light, something that made
11
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:43,910
you change your mind?
>> Nate: You've left me no
12
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:45,145
choice.
I have to inform Victor and
13
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:49,282
Victoria of what I've learned.
>> Ashland: But you don't have
14
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:52,719
anything on me.
>> Nate: Those scans that show
15
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:55,288
you've had no signs of cancer
are pretty damning.
16
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:57,190
>> Ashland: You're not a
radiologist.
17
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:59,225
You're not an oncologist.
Maybe you're wrong.
18
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:02,028
>> Nate: There's no record of
you ever even having one
19
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:05,832
chemotherapy appointment.
>> Ashland: So your proof is a
20
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:09,135
lack of information.
>> Nate: Look, I don't take any
21
00:01:09,202 --> 00:01:12,038
pleasure in doing this, but the
Newmans deserve to know the
22
00:01:12,105 --> 00:01:18,912
truth.
>> Ashland: I would suggest you
23
00:01:18,978 --> 00:01:23,016
think long and hard before you
do anything rash.
24
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:39,732
>> Nate: Are you threatening me?

>> Victor: I can't believe that
28
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:11,331
you blame Victoria for this
entire mess.
29
00:02:11,397 --> 00:02:15,401
>> Adam: She let this shark in.
And she continues to defend him,
30
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:17,904
even in the face of the
overwhelming evidence of his
31
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:20,607
deception.
So God knows what he's gonna do
32
00:02:20,673 --> 00:02:23,776
next if we don't stop him.
>> Victor: Son, we all have been
33
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:27,580
manipulated one way or the other
and deceived by that bastard.
34
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:29,782
Okay?
And we've all been fooled by
35
00:02:29,849 --> 00:02:33,786
love, haven't we?
Do I need to remind you that you
36
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:37,090
were involved with a woman who
accused you of attempted murder?
37
00:02:37,156 --> 00:02:39,959
>> Adam: Okay, the difference is
I walked away from Chelsea when
38
00:02:40,026 --> 00:02:43,129
I found out what she did.
And she was never a threat to
39
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:46,499
the family business.
>> Victor: We all had compassion
40
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:50,470
with what you went through,
including Victoria.
41
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:54,173
Kindly extend the same courtesy
to her, alright?
42
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,043
>> Adam: Victoria deserves much
better than Ashland, and I'm
43
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:59,879
very sorry that she can't see
that, but since she can't, we
44
00:02:59,946 --> 00:03:02,582
may all suffer from her blind
loyalty, and I don't think
45
00:03:02,649 --> 00:03:05,585
there's a problem
in being honest about that.
46
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:17,230
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
>> Victor: Son, we all have
47
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:20,633
things we can accuse each other
of.
48
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,903
Stop pointing fingers at
Victoria.
49
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,506
>> Chelsea: I made some great
connections in New York.
50
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:29,776
I was able to source some very
unique fabrics and also find
51
00:03:29,842 --> 00:03:32,512
some very promising
manufacturing options, so we
52
00:03:32,579 --> 00:03:35,148
might even be able to get our
line out earlier than
53
00:03:35,214 --> 00:03:37,650
anticipated.
Isn't that great?
54
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:41,020
>> Chloe: And I -- I know it's a
little ambitious, but if you're
55
00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:44,324
willing to put your marketing
resources behind it, then we are
56
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:48,127
excited to make the push.
So what do you think?
57
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:54,033
>> Lauren: [ Sighs ] I'm sorry.
I didn't hear a word you said.
58
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,704
>> Chloe: Oh, um...any news
about Michael?
59
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:02,108
>> Lauren: [ Sighs ] Not a word.
I don't know if I can take it
60
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,777
much longer.
I promised Kevin that I wouldn't
61
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:09,115
file a missing persons report
until tomorrow, but I don't know
62
00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:12,418
if I can wait.
I know something's wrong.
63
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:14,487
Something is definitely wrong.
64
00:04:21,728 --> 00:04:23,663
>> Victoria: I have made the
mistake of confiding in you
65
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,133
before, and you betrayed me.
>> Nick: Let's not point
66
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,637
fingers, okay?
I'm just here to listen.
67
00:04:30,703 --> 00:04:32,905
>> Victoria: Why would I give
you more ammunition to criticize
68
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:36,242
my husband?
>> Nick: Because the way you're
69
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:38,711
talking, it makes me feel like
you've learned something new.
70
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,947
Now, I don't want to force you
into anything, Vick.
71
00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:43,383
I'm just here because I love you
and I will support you,
72
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:46,319
no matter what.
>> Victoria: How am I supposed
73
00:04:46,386 --> 00:04:49,389
to believe that, when you have
outwardly and repeatedly
74
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:53,493
acknowledged that you hate my
husband?
75
00:04:53,559 --> 00:04:56,829
>> Nick: I'm also not here to
judge anyone, but I know you and
76
00:04:56,896 --> 00:05:00,166
I can see that you're struggling
with something, and I get it.
77
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:03,770
I've been there, not wanting to
believe that the person you love
78
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:07,073
could betray you like that.
Trying to make sense of it can
79
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,842
tie you up into knots.
It makes you want to reject
80
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:12,412
anything and everything that
anybody has to say to you, to
81
00:05:12,478 --> 00:05:15,114
ignore all the evidence that's
staring you right in the face,
82
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:17,617
because that is what our hearts
and minds do.
83
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:21,621
We can't help it.
This also might be something
84
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:24,290
that you got to deal with on
your own, and I get it.
85
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:27,126
So you tell me as little or as
much as you want.
86
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:32,131
I'm not gonna fight you on it.
I'm just here to listen, that's
87
00:05:32,198 --> 00:05:36,536
it.
>> Ashland: You misunderstood
88
00:05:36,602 --> 00:05:39,105
me.
I'm not trying to threaten you
89
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:41,374
in any way whatsoever.
I'm just asking you to think
90
00:05:41,441 --> 00:05:44,110
through the ramifications before
you make some kind of an
91
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,813
accusation.
For instance, do you really want
92
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:49,949
to risk your friendship with
Victoria by hurting her this
93
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:52,285
way?
>> Nate: I won't be the one
94
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:56,155
hurting her.
>> Ashland: Nate, it pains me to
95
00:05:56,222 --> 00:05:58,925
think that you're buying into
this smear campaign against me.
96
00:05:58,991 --> 00:06:01,861
>> Nate: This isn't a smear
campaign.
97
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:06,132
It's something much worse.
It's one thing to dismiss claims
98
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:10,770
from a former disgruntled doctor
at that clinic, but after what I
99
00:06:10,837 --> 00:06:14,607
found, I'm disgusted by what
you've done.
100
00:06:14,674 --> 00:06:19,746
The levels of manipulation.
I can't believe I ever called
101
00:06:19,812 --> 00:06:21,180
you a friend.
>> Ashland: We are friends.
102
00:06:21,247 --> 00:06:22,381
>> Nate: It was all a part of
your scam.
103
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:24,617
I'm enraged that I was taken in
like that.
104
00:06:24,684 --> 00:06:27,053
>> Ashland: I wasn't conning you
when I asked you to be my best
105
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,989
man.
I wasn't working some kind of an
106
00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:33,192
angle when I offered you a job.
>> Nate: So what do you call it,
107
00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:35,128
huh?
An attempt at buying my silence?
108
00:06:35,194 --> 00:06:37,964
>> Ashland: I would never hire
anyone I didn't genuinely
109
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:39,832
believe in to work for my
company.
110
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:41,367
The business means too much to
me.
111
00:06:41,434 --> 00:06:43,603
You know that.
>> Nate: Right, it's so
112
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:47,373
important to you that you fake
having cancer so you can get
113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,042
your hand on the Newman side of
it.
114
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:52,745
>> Ashland: No, that's what
somebody's trying to make it
115
00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:55,081
look like.
I keep telling you that.
116
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:57,116
If anyone's being scammed here,
it's me.
117
00:06:57,183 --> 00:06:59,185
>> Nate: I can't believe you
still have the gall to try to
118
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:01,387
convince me that you're the one
being set up.
119
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:05,525
It's not gonna work.
>> Ashland: Victoria loves me.
120
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:08,094
She believes in me.
She's not going to accept this
121
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:12,064
lie, even if it does come
from, well, first Victor and now
122
00:07:12,131 --> 00:07:13,633
you.
>> Nate: You can't just talk
123
00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:17,236
your way out of this one with
the Newmans.
124
00:07:17,303 --> 00:07:22,341
You were never sick.
And Victor's not the one to be
125
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:29,248
manipulated.
>> Ashland: We're done here.
126
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:35,087
I can prove my innocence.
And when I do, you're gonna wish
127
00:07:35,154 --> 00:07:39,826
you never doubted me.
>> Nate: Ashland.
128
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:46,799
>> Ashland: [ Sighs ]
>> Nate: It's time for you to
129
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:50,102
come clean.
If you don't tell them, I will.
130
00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:07,620
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
Hi, Sharon.
131
00:08:07,687 --> 00:08:12,825
Can I get a big cup of your
strongest coffee, please?
132
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:23,336
>> Sharon: Uh, sure.
So...how's your new job going?
133
00:08:23,402 --> 00:08:29,642
Must be, um, very different for
you being COO.
134
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:33,713
It's a lot of responsibility.
>> Sally: You're right, yes.
135
00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:37,516
It should be a lot of
responsibility, which is why I
136
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:42,188
should be included in more
closed-door meetings.
137
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,690
>> Sharon: Newman family
closed-door meetings -- what a
138
00:08:44,757 --> 00:08:50,529
surprise.
>> Sally: Hey, can I...buy you a
139
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:55,534
coffee?
I just would love to get your
140
00:08:55,601 --> 00:08:59,939
thoughts on working with my new
boss since you know him quite
141
00:09:00,006 --> 00:09:04,710
well.
>> Sharon: I have to admit that
142
00:09:04,777 --> 00:09:09,048
I'm curious, so I suppose I
could have a coffee with you.
143
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:13,753
What kind of thoughts were you
looking for?
144
00:09:13,819 --> 00:09:17,256
>> Sally: I just want to be the
best, most supportive COO that
145
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:20,893
Adam could have hoped for, and,
I don't know, I was thinking you
146
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,530
could give me some insight on
how his mind works.
147
00:09:24,597 --> 00:09:28,167
>> Sharon: You need help
navigating the Newman dynamics.
148
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:31,871
>> Sally: And I get the sense
that you know Adam better than
149
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:38,244
most, and you certainly have a
history with the Newmans.
150
00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:39,545
>> Sharon: Okay, look, here's
the deal.
151
00:09:39,612 --> 00:09:45,685
I will, um -- I'll have coffee
with you on these conditions.
152
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:50,489
Don't expect me to praise or
badmouth Adam.
153
00:09:50,556 --> 00:09:54,727
And I'm certainly not going to
reveal anything about my
154
00:09:54,794 --> 00:09:57,797
personal past relationship with
him.
155
00:09:57,863 --> 00:09:58,864
Understood?
156
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:12,912
>> Sally: I'm not trying to dig
into Adam's past or anything
157
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:15,314
like that.
I'm honestly just trying to find
158
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:20,553
more ways to support him.
You know, insight.
159
00:10:20,619 --> 00:10:25,024
>> Sharon: Is that all?
>> Sally: The truth is I really
160
00:10:25,091 --> 00:10:27,860
like the guy, and I think he's
pretty special, and too few
161
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:30,763
people seem to see that, but I
know that you are someone who
162
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:34,400
does.
So you can tell me to back off
163
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:38,437
if you want, but, yeah, I want
to know what you think and I
164
00:10:38,504 --> 00:10:45,411
hope you know I mean well.
>> Sharon: Well, you're right
165
00:10:45,478 --> 00:10:49,281
about one thing.
I am one of the few people who
166
00:10:49,348 --> 00:10:54,653
has seen the good side of Adam.
I've defended him.
167
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,058
Sometimes to my detriment.
Supporting him has not always
168
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:01,460
been a popular thing to do.
>> Sally: [ Scoffs ]
169
00:11:01,527 --> 00:11:02,828
Well, I don't really care about
that.
170
00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:04,997
In case you haven't noticed, I'm
not terribly popular around here
171
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:08,367
myself.
>> Sharon: Perhaps that's part
172
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:11,003
of your attraction to him.
>> Sally: I'm just talking about
173
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:15,875
our working relationship.
>> Sharon: So there are both
174
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:19,678
personal and professional
aspects of your relationship
175
00:11:19,745 --> 00:11:21,747
with Adam.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
176
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:23,449
It's not really relevant to this
conversation.
177
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,818
>> Sharon: Yeah, and that makes
things more difficult for you.
178
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:29,855
>> Sally: Actually, it doesn't.
I just mean that I understand
179
00:11:29,922 --> 00:11:33,893
people who are misunderstood,
which is why I think I can be an
180
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:38,631
effective business partner for
Adam.
181
00:11:38,697 --> 00:11:42,234
>> Sally: Well, he must agree,
since, on paper, you're not
182
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:46,205
exactly the obvious choice for
the COO job.
183
00:11:46,272 --> 00:11:48,207
>> Sally: Well, I'm not really
having any difficulties with the
184
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:52,311
workload.
But there is one piece of the
185
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:58,717
puzzle that has me stymied.
Victor.
186
00:11:58,784 --> 00:12:03,022
>> Sharon: Victor does hold a
lot of sway over all of the
187
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:07,526
Newmans.
But I doubt that you're going to
188
00:12:07,593 --> 00:12:10,896
crack that code.
What exactly is it that you're
189
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:15,367
concerned about?
>> Sally: I'm just worried that
190
00:12:15,434 --> 00:12:18,404
Adam's gonna keep making
decisions based on pleasing his
191
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:23,776
father and not on what's best
for himself.
192
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:26,812
>> Adam: Fine.
We can debate Victoria's
193
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,548
culpability in this mess some
other time.
194
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:33,752
The point is, we need a plan "B"
to oust Ashland since she is
195
00:12:33,819 --> 00:12:38,357
determined to stand by her man.
>> Victor: As I told you, I sent
196
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:40,759
Nicholas to try to get through
to your sister.
197
00:12:40,826 --> 00:12:43,329
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
And given how receptive she was
198
00:12:43,395 --> 00:12:45,865
last time Nick tried to raise
red flags about the guy, do you
199
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,567
really think she's gonna listen
now?
200
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:52,705
We need a back-up plan to the
back-up plan.
201
00:12:52,771 --> 00:12:56,041
And I have one.
>> Victor: Hmm.
202
00:12:56,108 --> 00:13:00,813
I'm listening.
>> Adam: I think that we should
203
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,216
leak the story to the press that
Ashland faked his illness to
204
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:07,386
take over control of
Newman/Locke.
205
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:10,656
And this time, the story will be
true because we have the
206
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:14,894
evidence to prove it.
And we can just let it play out.
207
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,630
Okay? It is a win-win.
It'll solve the problem of
208
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:20,933
Victoria blaming any of us for
forcing him out of the company
209
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,936
or out of her life.
And once the story comes out,
210
00:13:24,003 --> 00:13:27,506
the negative publicity will
simply drive him away.
211
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:35,114
>> Victoria: I'm sure that Dad
told you his theory about how
212
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:39,118
Ashland masterminded this
massive lie in order to gain
213
00:13:39,185 --> 00:13:43,289
control of Newman/Locke.
Has he shown you the evidence
214
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:46,959
that supposedly proves that?
>> Nick: I saw the video of the
215
00:13:47,026 --> 00:13:49,728
doctor from that clinic in Peru
claiming that Ashland was lying
216
00:13:49,795 --> 00:13:52,965
about being sick.
What do you make of it?
217
00:13:53,032 --> 00:13:56,502
>> Victoria: Ashland claims that
it's a disgruntled former
218
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:59,471
employee.
>> Nick: I'm asking what you
219
00:13:59,538 --> 00:14:03,676
concluded from it, not about
Ashland's explanation.
220
00:14:03,742 --> 00:14:09,215
>> Victoria: Honestly, I haven't
concluded much.
221
00:14:09,281 --> 00:14:14,153
If Dad is right, then Ashland's
love for me is false and
222
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:19,124
manipulative.
And, honestly, that's a thought
223
00:14:19,191 --> 00:14:23,362
that I don't even want to
entertain.
224
00:14:23,429 --> 00:14:30,035
Ashland, he claims that he's
being slandered, but he has yet
225
00:14:30,102 --> 00:14:33,239
to indicate that he is close to
uncovering who's behind it.
226
00:14:33,305 --> 00:14:36,742
He just keeps going back to this
outlandish notion that somehow
227
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:40,479
our father is responsible.
>> Nick: Really?
228
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:43,549
>> Victoria: He even went so far
as to say that he thought Dad
229
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:46,518
was the one setting him up and
that this has all been a part
230
00:14:46,585 --> 00:14:52,891
of his grand plan to take back
control of Newman/Locke.
231
00:14:52,958 --> 00:14:53,993
>> Nick: And do you believe
that?
232
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:56,095
>> Victoria: That seems far too
easy.
233
00:14:56,161 --> 00:15:01,400
It's a juvenile counter-punch.
Dad thinks that Ashland created
234
00:15:01,467 --> 00:15:05,504
these lies, and Ashland says
that it's our father.
235
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:08,274
>> Nick: So where does that
leave you?
236
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:11,610
>> Victoria: Earlier today, Dad
showed me physical proof of
237
00:15:11,677 --> 00:15:15,781
money being paid to one of the
Peruvian doctors.
238
00:15:15,848 --> 00:15:20,185
It's able to be traced back
through a shell company.
239
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:22,721
One of Ashland's small radio
divisions inside of
240
00:15:22,788 --> 00:15:26,158
Locke Communications.
You already know about this,
241
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:29,995
don't you?
>> Nick: Vick, it doesn't matter
242
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:35,100
what I know or what I think.
The only thing that matter is
243
00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:38,637
what you think.
What does the evidence say to
244
00:15:38,704 --> 00:15:44,677
you?
>> Elena: He lied about having
245
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,745
cancer?
Who does that?
246
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:49,048
>> Nate: Apparently
Ashland Locke.
247
00:15:49,114 --> 00:15:52,217
>> Elena: It's such a senseless,
horrible thing to do.
248
00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:55,487
Not only did he manipulate
everyone around him, but think
249
00:15:55,554 --> 00:15:58,557
about the people who are
actually suffering from that
250
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:00,292
awful disease.
What a slap in the face.
251
00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:02,795
>> Nate: Yeah, I'm shocked, too.
>> Elena: Gosh, this is like
252
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:05,197
something you hear on the news,
not something involving one of
253
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,099
our friends.
>> Nate: I know.
254
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:11,003
It's -- It's got me questioning
my own judgment.
255
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:14,406
>> Elena: I am so glad you told
me about this.
256
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:16,942
I can't believe you've been
keeping this betrayal to
257
00:16:17,009 --> 00:16:18,911
yourself.
This is way too much for you to
258
00:16:18,977 --> 00:16:21,780
grapple with on your own.
>> Nate: I didn't believe it
259
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:24,983
myself at first.
That's why I kept quiet.
260
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:29,888
When Victor shared his evidence
with me, that's when I had to
261
00:16:29,955 --> 00:16:32,558
look into it further.
>> Elena: So what did you do?
262
00:16:32,624 --> 00:16:36,428
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
I accessed Ashland's medical
263
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:41,567
records.
>> Elena: And?
264
00:16:41,633 --> 00:16:45,571
>> Nate: I discovered that not
only did Ashland's x-rays after
265
00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:49,641
his heart attack show no signs
of cancer, he never had even one
266
00:16:49,708 --> 00:16:53,412
chemotherapy appointment at
Memorial.
267
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:57,015
>> Elena: I can't wrap my head
around any of this.
268
00:16:57,082 --> 00:16:59,918
Why would someone pretend to be
dying?
269
00:16:59,985 --> 00:17:03,322
>> Nate: According to Victor, it
was all an elaborate scheme to
270
00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:06,091
win over Victoria and to merge
their companies.
271
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:08,127
Then take control of
Newman/Locke.
272
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:11,296
>> Elena: That is pure evil.
>> Nate: I just told Ashland,
273
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:14,133
"I'm gonna take this to the
Newmans if you don't come
274
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,902
clean."
>> Elena: I can't imagine that
275
00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:19,605
went over well.
>> Nate: Well, he maintained his
276
00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:22,708
innocence in between a few
veiled threats that I would be
277
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:25,778
sorry if I followed through.
>> Elena: Wow, that's
278
00:17:25,844 --> 00:17:27,946
frightening.
[ Scoffs ]
279
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:29,681
How could anyone do something
like this?
280
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:42,861
>> Nate: I keep going over and
over this whole thing.
281
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:46,098
Trying to figure out how this
could've happened.
282
00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:50,002
I wish I could believe Ashland
was set up.
283
00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:55,040
I mean, I called the man a
friend.
284
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:58,844
I was his best man.
We toasted at his wedding.
285
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:01,780
Hell, I was on the verge of
changing careers just to go work
286
00:18:01,847 --> 00:18:03,782
for him.
>> Elena: I get it.
287
00:18:03,849 --> 00:18:06,552
It's hard to accept that he was
so warm and generous to us while
288
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:09,021
he was pulling a number like
this.
289
00:18:09,087 --> 00:18:12,090
I mean, he flew us out to Italy
for his wedding.
290
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:16,094
And after all those dinners we
had with him and Victoria, even
291
00:18:16,161 --> 00:18:20,199
I found it hard to believe that
this powerful businessman was so
292
00:18:20,265 --> 00:18:24,536
friendly and down to earth.
>> Nate: Turns out it was all an
293
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,306
act.
And who better to be his allies
294
00:18:27,372 --> 00:18:29,741
than two doctors?
If he could fool us, he could
295
00:18:29,808 --> 00:18:33,278
fool anyone.
>> Elena: Except he put himself
296
00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:37,182
at risk because you had access
to his files, and I'm sure it
297
00:18:37,249 --> 00:18:39,084
was a difficult line for you to
cross.
298
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:41,119
>> Nate: I felt like I had to do
it.
299
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:44,756
There was no other option.
I owe it to Victoria and the
300
00:18:44,823 --> 00:18:48,894
Newmans to tell them the truth.
>> Elena: Well, the evidence was
301
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:52,764
overwhelming and there doesn't
seem to be any doubts.
302
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:56,535
I'm just stunned at the scope of
his deception.
303
00:18:56,602 --> 00:19:01,139
>> Nate: That son of a bitch
lied about having cancer.
304
00:19:01,206 --> 00:19:02,875
>> Victor: Son, negative
publicity -- what are you
305
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:04,476
talking about?
What do you think this would do
306
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:08,247
to her self-esteem?
>> Adam: She was barely fazed by
307
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:10,349
all the bad press Ashland had
already received.
308
00:19:10,415 --> 00:19:12,184
>> Victor: She wasn't even
mentioned in those articles.
309
00:19:12,251 --> 00:19:14,987
>> Adam: Okay, I think you're
really underestimating how tough
310
00:19:15,053 --> 00:19:18,590
she is.
>> Victor: Do I need to remind
311
00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:21,860
you what a hit she took to her
self-confidence after all that
312
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,897
experience with J.T.?
Hmm?
313
00:19:24,963 --> 00:19:28,467
Took her a long time to trust
her own self-judgment again.
314
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:31,003
That's the whole damn reason
that I've tried to keep this
315
00:19:31,069 --> 00:19:33,005
away from her.
I didn't want to tell her the
316
00:19:33,071 --> 00:19:34,806
truth about what Ashland was up
to.
317
00:19:34,873 --> 00:19:37,643
>> Adam: But it's too late for
that, and finding out what the
318
00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:42,781
guy has done, it doesn't even
make a difference to her.
319
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:48,387
[ Scoffs ]
>> Victor: She's in denial right
320
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:51,590
now.
She will come to accept the
321
00:19:51,657 --> 00:19:54,760
truth.
>> Adam: Okay.
322
00:19:54,826 --> 00:19:57,162
Well, then maybe there's a way
to put out the story where she
323
00:19:57,229 --> 00:20:01,567
comes out unscathed.
>> Victor: That is impossible.
324
00:20:01,633 --> 00:20:04,102
Once reporters find out about
this, they're gonna do their own
325
00:20:04,169 --> 00:20:08,507
investigation, alright?
And never mind the embarrassment
326
00:20:08,574 --> 00:20:10,809
to our company,
when people find out that
327
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:14,112
Ashland Locke was able to
deceive us all this time.
328
00:20:14,179 --> 00:20:16,415
>> Adam: Okay, well, if the guy
is gone, we could start to
329
00:20:16,481 --> 00:20:18,016
actually repair the damage to
Newman.
330
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:20,886
>> Victor: But most important,
if Victoria found out that her
331
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:23,589
own family was responsible for
the leaks, she would never
332
00:20:23,655 --> 00:20:26,325
forgive us.
We have got to find another way
333
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:29,861
to deal with this.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
334
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:33,832
Well, I guess murder is out of
the question, then.
335
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:36,468
>> Victor: Funny.
>> Adam: Yeah, I know.
336
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:40,973
[ Clears throat ]
It was a bad joke.
337
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:45,344
>> Victor: [ Sighs ]
Let's hope and pray that your
338
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:49,448
brother Nicholas will get
through to -- to your sister,
339
00:20:49,514 --> 00:20:54,586
okay?
>> Victoria: I hate to admit it,
340
00:20:54,653 --> 00:20:59,324
Nick, but Michael's latest
evidence has given me pause.
341
00:20:59,391 --> 00:21:03,629
It's, um -- It's damning, and
it's extremely hard to just
342
00:21:03,695 --> 00:21:08,333
explain it away.
>> Nick: Agreed.
343
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:14,706
How does that make you feel?
>> Victoria: I'm scared,
344
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:18,710
Nicholas.
>> Nick: Of what?
345
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:20,412
Of Ashland?
Has he threatened you?
346
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:22,848
>> Victoria: No, no, no, no.
He couldn't be more gentle and
347
00:21:22,914 --> 00:21:26,985
loving, but...that's why I'm
just -- I'm scared to let myself
348
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:30,522
believe that he would do this to
me.
349
00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:35,260
>> Nick: Look, I know that it's
a frightening place to go...
350
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:38,397
emotionally.
Vick, but you could do a lot of
351
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:40,932
damage to yourself just by
fighting it, you know?
352
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:47,205
Give you some deep-rooted doubt
or a buried sense of mistrust
353
00:21:47,272 --> 00:21:49,307
that could eat away at you no
matter how hard you try and
354
00:21:49,374 --> 00:21:53,478
suppress it.
>> Victoria: Or maybe I'm
355
00:21:53,545 --> 00:21:58,950
protecting myself because...if
this is true...
356
00:21:59,017 --> 00:22:00,786
[ Sighs ]
>> Nick: If it's true, then
357
00:22:00,852 --> 00:22:06,324
what?
>> Ashland: [ Groans ]
358
00:22:06,391 --> 00:22:15,901
You Newmans are relentless.
>> Lauren: Okay, thank you.
359
00:22:15,967 --> 00:22:19,204
[ Sighs ] Kevin's gonna file
a missing persons report and Rey
360
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:21,940
is going to reach out to law
enforcement in Peru.
361
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:23,975
>> Chloe: Good.
I'm sure that they will get to
362
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:25,577
the bottom of whatever's going
on.
363
00:22:25,644 --> 00:22:27,512
>> Chelsea: They will find him.
Michael will be home before you
364
00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:30,248
know it.
>> Chloe: And I know how
365
00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:32,617
nerve-wracking this is, but with
Kevin and Rey putting the full
366
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:35,587
force of their resources on
this, they're gonna figure out
367
00:22:35,654 --> 00:22:38,190
what's going on.
>> Lauren: I just wish I had
368
00:22:38,256 --> 00:22:40,592
listened to my first instinct to
talk Michael out of working for
369
00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:42,160
Victor again.
>> Chelsea: Don't blame
370
00:22:42,227 --> 00:22:43,995
yourself.
You never could've predicted
371
00:22:44,062 --> 00:22:46,398
this would happen.
>> Lauren: You know what?
372
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:49,801
I did.
I knew that Michael going back
373
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:52,838
to work for Victor was going to
be trouble.
374
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:56,274
And what is the first thing that
Victor does for Michael?
375
00:22:56,341 --> 00:22:59,945
Sends him out of the country and
into what seems to be a lot of
376
00:23:00,011 --> 00:23:03,381
danger and...
[ Sighs ] I just -- I -- I feel
377
00:23:03,448 --> 00:23:06,151
so helpless.
I feel so helpless just sitting
378
00:23:06,218 --> 00:23:08,353
here doing nothing.
I feel like I need to get on a
379
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:09,421
plane and go to Peru.
380
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:20,198
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
381
00:23:39,918 --> 00:23:43,755
>> Chloe: Okay, going to Peru
doesn't sound like the best
382
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:46,691
idea.
I -- What would you do when you
383
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:49,060
get there?
Where would you even start to
384
00:23:49,127 --> 00:23:51,296
look?
>> Lauren: I don't know.
385
00:23:51,363 --> 00:23:53,799
But I just -- I can't bear just
sitting here pretending
386
00:23:53,865 --> 00:23:58,570
everything's okay and...talking
about work.
387
00:23:58,637 --> 00:24:01,573
>> Chloe: Okay, let's just not
talk about work.
388
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,010
Let's talk about how resourceful
and clever your husband is,
389
00:24:05,076 --> 00:24:08,079
because if something is wrong,
he will find a way out of it.
390
00:24:08,146 --> 00:24:10,148
>> Chelsea: That's right.
There's no one better at getting
391
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:11,683
himself out of challenging
predicaments.
392
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:14,152
>> Chloe: Think of all the jams
that he has gotten our family
393
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:15,887
out of.
He is a survivor.
394
00:24:15,954 --> 00:24:17,956
>> Chelsea: He can argue any
side of anything.
395
00:24:18,023 --> 00:24:20,592
I mean, I can attest to that.
>> Lauren: He does have a silver
396
00:24:20,659 --> 00:24:22,861
tongue.
It's why he wins most of his
397
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:24,262
cases.
>> Chloe: Exactly.
398
00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:26,865
That's why Kevin is always
complaining that he will never
399
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:28,900
win an argument with his
brother.
400
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,269
>> Lauren: [ Chuckles ]
It is one of his worst
401
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:34,306
qualities.
He will never, ever admit that
402
00:24:34,372 --> 00:24:37,442
he is wrong.
Do you know, I caught him eating
403
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:41,079
the last piece of chocolate
cake, and he instantly went into
404
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:43,982
a counter-argument.
I call it the "offensive
405
00:24:44,049 --> 00:24:46,451
defense."
And by the time he was done, I
406
00:24:46,518 --> 00:24:49,921
was convinced I ate the cake and
the chocolate crumbs around his
407
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:54,292
mouth were my imagination.
[ Laughter ]
408
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,397
It's just uncanny how good he
is.
409
00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:02,734
>> Ashland: Nick, I should have
known that you'd be the next
410
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:05,303
Newman to jump on the "Let's
turn Victoria against her
411
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:08,273
husband" bandwagon.
First there was Victor, then
412
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,209
Adam, Nikki, and now you.
I can hardly wait to find out
413
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:14,746
who's next.
God knows, it's a deep bench.
414
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,815
>> Nick: When it comes to
protecting our own, you're damn
415
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:21,686
right, we are relentless.
But I'm not here to fight with
416
00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:24,189
you.
I'm here 'cause of her.
417
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:29,628
'Cause I love her and I will not
allow anyone to hurt her.
418
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:39,938
Call me if you need me.
>> Ashland: Your brother's glare
419
00:25:40,005 --> 00:25:43,475
and demeanor cast doubt on his
claim that he's here to give
420
00:25:43,541 --> 00:25:52,751
friendly support to his sister.
Victoria?
421
00:25:52,817 --> 00:26:07,699
Are you okay?
[ Cellphone rings ]
422
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:12,537
Are you okay?
[ Cellphone rings ]
423
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:15,006
>> Nick: Hey, Dad.
>> Victor: Son, I'm here with
424
00:26:15,073 --> 00:26:17,475
Adam.
We are anxious to find out how
425
00:26:17,542 --> 00:26:20,478
things went with Victoria.
>> Nick: Well, I thought I was
426
00:26:20,545 --> 00:26:22,614
making some headway.
The good news is Victoria
427
00:26:22,681 --> 00:26:25,250
doesn't seem to believe
Ashland's accusations that you
428
00:26:25,317 --> 00:26:28,920
set him up in order to regain
control of Newman/Locke.
429
00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:31,389
But then Ashland walked in and
interrupted us just as I think
430
00:26:31,456 --> 00:26:33,925
I was getting her to consider
the truth.
431
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:38,530
So I'm afraid I may have lost
any ground that I gained.
432
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:40,598
You know what, Dad?
I got to go.
433
00:26:40,665 --> 00:26:42,934
I'll call you soon.
>> Victor: Alright, son.
434
00:26:43,001 --> 00:26:47,839
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
Can you believe the audacity of
435
00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:51,009
that guy?
To accuse you of being behind
436
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:53,645
this.
>> Victor: He will stop at
437
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:58,783
nothing to gain control of the
Newman/Locke.
438
00:26:58,850 --> 00:27:03,955
He even convinced Victoria to
make him co-CEO of the company.
439
00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:07,325
>> Adam: Wait, Ashland is
officially co-CEO?
440
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:08,393
When did that happen?
441
00:27:19,004 --> 00:27:21,673
>> Victor: Ashland signed the
contract making him co-CEO
442
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:26,077
yesterday.
>> Adam: And when were you
443
00:27:26,144 --> 00:27:28,980
planning on telling me that?
>> Victor: Has it occurred to
444
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,750
you that I have a lot of things
to deal with right now?
445
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:35,754
>> Adam: I thought we all were
dealing with this as a family.
446
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:39,357
And as the CEO of Newman Media,
I should've been your first
447
00:27:39,424 --> 00:27:41,626
call, not Nick.
>> Victor: I need to tell
448
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:44,295
Nicholas how important it was
that he was trying to talk to
449
00:27:44,362 --> 00:27:51,336
his sister, okay?
>> Adam: I just -- I just have
450
00:27:51,403 --> 00:27:56,241
to marvel at how calm and cool
you're acting, even in the face
451
00:27:56,307 --> 00:28:00,845
of a potential Newman crisis.
>> Victor: This will blow over,
452
00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:07,218
son, in the end.
We'll all come out ahead.
453
00:28:07,285 --> 00:28:10,922
>> Adam: After everything that
has transpired, I just find your
454
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:17,495
confidence rather curious.
And I need to ask you something
455
00:28:17,562 --> 00:28:22,267
that has gnawing in the back of
my mind.
456
00:28:22,333 --> 00:28:26,471
Are the accusations against
Ashland legitimate?
457
00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:32,143
>> Sharon: Solving the daddy
issues that any of the Newmans
458
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:33,778
have with Victor is a fool's
errand.
459
00:28:33,845 --> 00:28:35,647
Many have tried.
There's a long list of
460
00:28:35,713 --> 00:28:38,616
casualties.
>> Sally: Well, I'm always up
461
00:28:38,683 --> 00:28:40,418
for a challenge.
And I feel like if I can
462
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:46,057
understand the dynamics a little
bit more, then I can help Adam.
463
00:28:46,124 --> 00:28:50,261
>> Sharon: Well, I guess on some
level, I admire your honesty and
464
00:28:50,328 --> 00:28:53,598
your commitment to your new
boss.
465
00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:57,869
As much as I've seen of Adam
lately, seems like he's in a
466
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:01,339
good place.
Maybe you have something to do
467
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:06,244
with that.
Or maybe he's finally made peace
468
00:29:06,311 --> 00:29:09,247
with his father.
>> Sally: Yeah, if only that
469
00:29:09,314 --> 00:29:12,650
were true, but from what I can
tell, it seems like peace with
470
00:29:12,717 --> 00:29:15,620
Victor is a moving target.
He loves to keep Adam guessing
471
00:29:15,687 --> 00:29:17,655
about where he stands.
Does he trust him?
472
00:29:17,722 --> 00:29:19,457
What are his motives and
intentions?
473
00:29:19,524 --> 00:29:23,495
He seems to be a master at
keeping Adam guessing.
474
00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:25,296
>> Sharon: There are two things
that Adam needs more than
475
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:30,235
anything else -- committed love
from his father and a feeling of
476
00:29:30,301 --> 00:29:33,138
harmony with him.
>> Sally: Well, I'm just worried
477
00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:35,273
that he may never be able to
find that harmony because he
478
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:38,042
does not see himself as an equal
to Victor.
479
00:29:38,109 --> 00:29:42,480
He's still the son trying to
impress his old man.
480
00:29:42,547 --> 00:29:45,884
>> Sharon: That has always been
Adam's Achilles' hell, from the
481
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:49,554
day he came to Genoa City.
>> Sally: Well, I am trying to
482
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:56,361
break him of that.
>> Sharon: Well, good luck.
483
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:57,929
>> Sally: Seems like my time is
up.
484
00:29:57,996 --> 00:30:00,031
Thank you very much for the
talk, Sharon.
485
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:02,767
It helped.
Just gonna grab a cup of coffee
486
00:30:02,834 --> 00:30:06,070
to go and head back to the
office.
487
00:30:11,876 --> 00:30:18,383
>> Nick: What was that about?
>> Nate: I just can't believe it
488
00:30:18,449 --> 00:30:20,885
got to this point.
Why didn't I see something like
489
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:22,987
this coming?
In all the time I spent with
490
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:26,457
Ashland, I should've figured out
something was off.
491
00:30:26,524 --> 00:30:29,227
>> Elena: I don't think anyone
thought for a second anything
492
00:30:29,294 --> 00:30:32,030
like this was going on.
>> Nate: Oh, and I -- I realize
493
00:30:32,096 --> 00:30:34,499
now that I was actually coaching
him.
494
00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:38,069
I was helping him accurately
portray his symptoms while he
495
00:30:38,136 --> 00:30:40,738
was so-called undergoing
treatment.
496
00:30:40,805 --> 00:30:45,076
Why did I take him at his word?
>> Elena: None of this is your
497
00:30:45,143 --> 00:30:47,478
fault.
You were Ashland's friend, not
498
00:30:47,545 --> 00:30:49,447
his doctor.
You never officially consulted
499
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:51,216
on his case.
You only weighed in with your
500
00:30:51,282 --> 00:30:54,219
advice.
Why in the world would you think
501
00:30:54,285 --> 00:30:57,522
to question or double-check his
test results or his claims that
502
00:30:57,589 --> 00:31:00,959
he had terminal cancer?
>> Nate: I was too trusting.
503
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:05,396
This billionaire who barely
knows me asks me his best man,
504
00:31:05,463 --> 00:31:10,702
then offers me a job?
And I never notice something was
505
00:31:10,768 --> 00:31:12,470
off?
>> Elena: Look, I'm not gonna
506
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:14,839
let you do this.
And I can't tell you what you
507
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:18,209
should do, but if it were me, no
matter how I figured out the
508
00:31:18,276 --> 00:31:21,346
information, I would feel
compelled to take everything I
509
00:31:21,412 --> 00:31:26,184
knew straight to Victoria.
>> Nate: Well, that was my
510
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:29,954
initial plan, to take this to
the Newmans.
511
00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:33,291
But this could -- this could
crush Victoria.
512
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:36,127
And I hate to be the bearer of
this news.
513
00:31:36,194 --> 00:31:41,165
And I also got to consider if
Ashland is vicious enough to do
514
00:31:41,232 --> 00:31:46,204
something like this, what else
could he do?
515
00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:48,773
>> Lauren: Thank you for
distracting me, guys, and for
516
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,142
reminding me of Michael's
strengths.
517
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:54,612
>> Chloe: Your husband is one
strong, shrewd man.
518
00:31:54,679 --> 00:31:57,181
He'll find a way out of this.
He always has, he always will.
519
00:31:57,248 --> 00:32:00,885
I am certain of it.
>> Sally: Sorry to interrupt.
520
00:32:00,952 --> 00:32:03,454
I couldn't help but overhear
enough of your conversation to
521
00:32:03,521 --> 00:32:06,024
know that you're talking about
Michael.
522
00:32:06,090 --> 00:32:09,560
If it makes you feel any better,
I happen to know that Victor has
523
00:32:09,627 --> 00:32:13,364
people actively searching for
your husband in Peru.
524
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:15,533
>> Chelsea: I didn't realize
that becoming COO would put you
525
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,603
in the loop on business that
doesn't involve Newman Media.
526
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:21,105
>> Sally: Well, I'm getting to
know Victor pretty well.
527
00:32:21,172 --> 00:32:23,908
And if there's one thing he's
good at, it's harnessing all of
528
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:27,645
his resources to solve any
problem he puts his mind to.
529
00:32:27,712 --> 00:32:29,947
>> Lauren: Well, thank you for
that information, Sally.
530
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:32,784
I'm very grateful that
everything's being done to find
531
00:32:32,850 --> 00:32:36,421
my husband, but I don't exactly
find that very reassuring.
532
00:32:36,487 --> 00:32:38,890
>> Sally: Well, I thought you
would want to hear what's going
533
00:32:38,956 --> 00:32:40,758
on.
>> Lauren: Oh, no, I'm glad you
534
00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:42,894
told me.
But thanks to you, I now realize
535
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,663
that Victor wasn't being
truthful with me when he told me
536
00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:48,666
that Michael was fine and that
he wouldn't let anything happen
537
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:51,669
to him.
Now I'm even more worried
538
00:32:51,736 --> 00:32:53,738
because Victor is now concerned.
539
00:33:07,085 --> 00:33:08,319
>> Lauren: Alright, I better go
check in with Kevin and tell him
540
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,321
what I just learned about
Victor.
541
00:33:10,388 --> 00:33:19,330
If you'll excuse me.
>> Sally: Look, I'm sorry if I
542
00:33:19,397 --> 00:33:21,299
upset Lauren.
I was just trying to help.
543
00:33:21,366 --> 00:33:23,234
If it was your husband, wouldn't
you want to know?
544
00:33:23,301 --> 00:33:24,936
>> Chelsea: We had just calmed
her down.
545
00:33:25,002 --> 00:33:26,471
Leave it to you to stir things
up again.
546
00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:30,975
>> Chloe: Okay, I'm sure that
you didn't mean any harm, Sally.
547
00:33:31,042 --> 00:33:33,878
And frankly, you're right,
Lauren should know that Victor
548
00:33:33,945 --> 00:33:38,216
is looking for Michael, but she
is understandably on edge.
549
00:33:38,282 --> 00:33:40,818
>> Sally: Of course.
I mean, the last thing I wanted
550
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:48,059
to do was make things worse.
You know...I was really hoping
551
00:33:48,126 --> 00:33:51,095
that maybe we could hit the
reset button and put the past
552
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:55,733
aside.
Chloe, I really miss your
553
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,936
friendship.
And, Chelsea, I am sorry that we
554
00:33:59,003 --> 00:34:02,140
got off on the wrong foot, but
maybe now that we are not in
555
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:05,376
direct competition with each
other on a daily basis, we can
556
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:13,951
find some sort of truce.
>> Chelsea: I doubt we'll ever
557
00:34:14,018 --> 00:34:16,287
be best friends.
>> Sally: Okay.
558
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:22,460
Maybe tolerant acquaintances?
>> Chelsea: I suppose I could
559
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:29,500
let bygones be bygones.
>> Sharon: Sally wanted some
560
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:32,403
insight into the Victor/Adam
dynamic.
561
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:35,573
>> Nick: Oh, well, if you figure
that out, let me know, too.
562
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,177
>> Sharon: So you seem no better
off than the last time I saw
563
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:41,446
you.
Any updates on the Victoria and
564
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:44,115
Ashland situation?
>> Nick: I was just with Vick.
565
00:34:44,182 --> 00:34:46,884
I feel like she was this close
to admitting all of her doubts
566
00:34:46,951 --> 00:34:49,687
about Ashland in the face of all
the mounting evidence against
567
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:53,391
him, but she just couldn't quite
get there.
568
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:57,628
>> Sharon: Well, I understand.
It's got to be really hard to
569
00:34:57,695 --> 00:35:00,465
accept that the man that you
loved would do something so
570
00:35:00,531 --> 00:35:04,101
duplicitous and play with your
heart like that.
571
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:06,337
>> Nick: He's really got his
hooks in her.
572
00:35:06,404 --> 00:35:08,406
She can't seem to break away
from him.
573
00:35:08,473 --> 00:35:11,776
>> Sharon: If the evidence you
have is as strong as you say it
574
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:13,878
is, it'll only be a matter of
time.
575
00:35:13,945 --> 00:35:16,714
She'll come to her senses.
But you said you weren't gonna
576
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:20,585
get involved.
>> Nick: I don't know.
577
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:25,189
The more I look at it, the more
I realize I can't walk away.
578
00:35:25,256 --> 00:35:26,924
>> Sharon: I'm glad you're doing
everything you can for your
579
00:35:26,991 --> 00:35:29,126
sister.
>> Nick: If Victoria can't open
580
00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,562
her eyes to who the man she
married really is, the family's
581
00:35:31,629 --> 00:35:34,031
gonna have to come up with a
plan to get him out of her life
582
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:37,668
for good.
>> Victor: What makes you
583
00:35:37,735 --> 00:35:43,074
suddenly doubt all of the
evidence against Ashland Locke?
584
00:35:43,140 --> 00:35:47,645
>> Adam: I just think the news
that Ashland's now co-CEO adds
585
00:35:47,712 --> 00:35:53,251
new weight to his claim.
I mean, could it be true that
586
00:35:53,317 --> 00:35:57,822
all of this was part of your
master plan to regain control of
587
00:35:57,889 --> 00:36:02,093
Newman/Locke?
[ Knock on door ]
588
00:36:02,159 --> 00:36:08,499
>> Nate: Gentlemen.
>> Victor: Nate, come in.
589
00:36:08,566 --> 00:36:11,369
>> Nate: I hope I'm not
interrupting, but I have
590
00:36:11,435 --> 00:36:14,872
something I think you should
hear.
591
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:18,609
>> Victor: And what is that?
>> Nate: I have that smoking gun
592
00:36:18,676 --> 00:36:19,677
you were looking for.
