Short filmTranscript
00:01It's really starting to feel like summer, isn't it?
00:05Such a beautiful day today!
00:09Those new treatments in Boston really did the trick.
00:13I can barely keep up with her.
00:15I feel good. I feel energized.
00:18It's like I want to savor every minute of the day now.
00:22Quite a big change from a few months ago.
00:25Why do I keep telling you about keeping a positive attitude?
00:29Well, I am more hopeful about the future than I've been in a long time.
00:34And that is all thanks to you, Nate.
00:38Oh my gosh, Amy. You keep saying that.
00:41And I keep telling you, we all played a part.
00:43You know.
00:44You most of all by wanting to live.
00:46Medicine alone can not only do so much.
00:49Listen to this man. He's a doctor.
00:52Well, I am finally listening and I have come to a decision about my future.
00:59Hey. Thanks for having me.
01:04Hi. Yeah, of course.
01:06Oh, thank you.
01:10Well, he's wrong.
01:12Well, you know, I thought you were about to say,
01:15it looks like I just lost my best friend.
01:18Because I think I'm about to.
01:20Holden?
01:21Yeah, I'm meeting him here in a few minutes to break the news.
01:26And I'm dreading it.
01:27Well, I think it's horrible that Jabov first fires you and then commands you to fire your friend.
01:34Why not tell him to do it himself?
01:36He didn't even tell me himself, remember?
01:39Look, I don't know.
01:40All I know is that Holden would have gone back to L.A. only to find his key card to his office doesn't work anymore.
01:47And his pocket spot gone.
01:49That is cold.
01:51Yeah, that's Aristotle DeMa.
01:53All the more reason to be out of that place.
01:56All right, well, right now I just need to figure out a way to help Holden out.
02:02Because I just didn't get a sense that Audra was willing to find him a job within her new company.
02:09Yeah, it's not surprising.
02:10She's the most generous person I've ever met.
02:13Nate would definitely argue against that.
02:15And my mom.
02:17Because my mom, she adores her.
02:19Well, I'll let you make your own judgments about Audra.
02:23But with Holden, what can I do? How can I help?
02:28Well, I was wondering.
02:31Hoping.
02:33That there might be a position at Winters.
02:36You can offer them.
02:38Look, Lily, I hate to ask, okay?
02:42You and your family have been so generous to me.
02:45To my mom, but...
02:47Holden, he's my best friend.
02:50Okay?
02:51And I feel responsible for what's happening to him.
02:55So, you asked how you could help.
02:58This is how.
03:00That cough sounds terrible.
03:12Oh.
03:13I'll be fine.
03:14You don't look fine, all right?
03:15Which is why we brought you here, so we could look after you.
03:18Here, drink this.
03:19Okay, honey.
03:20I'm not even thirsty.
03:21You're dehydrated, Cole.
03:23In addition to everything else that's making you sick, you need to keep your fluids up right now.
03:27Please.
03:28Okay.
03:30Okay, doctor.
03:32Look, I'm worried about you.
03:34You've had this flu for weeks, and nothing seems to be making it better.
03:39He still feels really warm.
03:41When is the last time that we gave him this medication?
03:44A couple hours ago?
03:45Okay, all right, listen.
03:46I keep telling you to, all right?
03:48This is just...
03:58Dad.
03:59You all right?
04:00Do we need to call the doctor?
04:02How are you feeling right now?
04:03No, no, I'm just...
04:05I'm feeling like hell.
04:07Honey.
04:08Okay?
04:09Just, this is a lot worse than before, all right?
04:11Dad?
04:12True Corey, what you mean?
04:13All right?
04:14Not to get it in.
04:15Never mind.
05:16I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised to receive your invitation so soon after we talked.
05:21I wouldn't be so pleased yet until you've heard my response to your proposal.
05:31Here, is that what you're going to tell us?
05:40Yes. Yes. Yes. I have decided to relocate to Genoa City.
05:48I knew it. I knew it. Didn't I tell you she would?
05:53Yes, she did tell me.
05:54I think it's great.
05:57I think it's fantastic news, Amy. I couldn't be happier for you and for us.
06:03Well, you know, after Damien took the job, it's like there really was no other choice, right?
06:08I really wanted to be close to my son and...
06:12Oh, honey, are you welling up?
06:14Uh, no, it's, um, it's just my allergies.
06:18Oh, do not let her fool you, Amy.
06:21Audra is a big softie at heart.
06:23Yeah, ha ha.
06:24Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not going to tell anybody else.
06:28Look, I'm...
06:29I'm just so happy for you, Amy.
06:33When I think back to the time when you didn't even think you'd survive long enough to see your son again.
06:42Look, it's just...
06:44It's just such a gift.
06:47Yeah.
06:48And I'm so grateful for that gift.
06:51And for the two of you.
06:52I mean, that's another reason why I want to move here.
06:57To spend time with my new friend.
07:01And for the man I consider my second son.
07:05Okay, now I really am crying.
07:08And it's time for a little group hug.
07:12I love you guys.
07:14Me too.
07:15I love you.
07:17This isn't easy for me, Bowie.
07:19I hate asking for favors from anyone, but it's my fault that Hoden's being left behind.
07:27So I just...
07:28I just want to do something, you know, that would at least soften the blow for one.
07:35No, look, I...
07:36I understand.
07:37I mean, honestly, I feel responsible too.
07:40Why?
07:42Because it was my stupid idea to have you spy on Dumas that probably got you both fired in the first place.
07:48No, it wasn't stupid.
07:51Besides, both you and I, we agreed to it.
07:54I...
07:54You know, I thought it would end up with Hoden at least getting my own job, but I probably should have known better with Dumas.
08:03Well, it doesn't solve the problem, does it?
08:06Look, if you're uncomfortable, bring it holding on.
08:09I...
08:09I never said I was uncomfortable.
08:12Yeah, but you didn't exactly look thrilled when I brought it up.
08:15No, I just was trying to think of where he could possibly fit in.
08:23So you do it.
08:24Well, I have to talk to Devon and Nate first, but...
08:28I mean, it shouldn't be a problem.
08:31I'm assuming you want him in the same hotel division with you?
08:35Yeah, yeah, that...
08:37That'll make the most sense.
08:39I'll see if there's a place for him.
08:41Maybe we can figure something out.
08:43Great.
08:45Thanks, Lily.
08:46Thank you so much.
08:48This really means a lot to me.
08:50Of course.
08:51But, um...
08:52I just am wondering, how do you think Hoden's gonna feel about this?
08:56I don't know.
08:57Hopefully happy that he's still got a job, you know?
09:00You don't think that he'll feel like we're just throwing him a bone?
09:03No, no, no.
09:04We've worked together for a while, okay?
09:07This wouldn't be charity.
09:10Hoden will be an asset.
09:11I can guarantee you that.
09:12Yeah, I think what I'm really asking, though, is...
09:15How is he gonna feel about you being his boss?
09:18Because it could be awkward for you both.
09:23Tangled a few times.
09:25I'll admit to that.
09:26Well, Audra said that Holden told her that you have quite the temper.
09:34Huh.
09:35Well, I guess Audra isn't the most discreet person in the world.
09:40Is it true?
09:40I could fly off the handle sometimes.
09:45Well, maybe it's because I've never had anyone in my life who could, you know, balance me out.
09:51Talk me down.
09:53Do you think you need that?
09:56Well, it's kind of hard to miss something that you've never really had.
10:00But yeah, yeah.
10:03It'll be nice to have that kind of person in my life.
10:08Real nice.
10:08Before we start, I want to tell you again how much I love Claire.
10:20I mean, next to my son, she's the most important person in the world to me, and I will do anything to make her happy.
10:29That's why we're here.
10:31What?
10:32For you to prove to me how committed you are to make my granddaughter happy.
10:36That's why I am willing to agree to this contract.
10:46You are.
10:47You seem surprised.
10:49I am.
10:50A little.
10:52I mean, from Yatone walking in here, I expected bad news.
10:57There'll only be bad news when you decide to hurt my granddaughter.
11:03That will never happen.
11:06We shall soon find out, right?
11:10I'm going to surprise you, Victor.
11:13You're not going to regret this, so I'll have my lawyers draft something up.
11:17That will not be necessary.
11:18This year contains the terms you and I discussed.
11:26You break my granddaughter's heart.
11:29You pay me five million dollars and get the hell out of town.
11:35I think that about says it, right?
11:36You know, to look this over, if you want, it's not really necessary.
11:52It's pretty straightforward, what's in there.
11:55It's what you and I have discussed.
11:56But I've got to tell you that I'm impressed.
12:02That you're willing to make that kind of commitment.
12:08Maybe I've been wrong about you all along.
12:10I mean, everything looks okay.
12:20Good.
12:22I'll need to send it by my guy.
12:24If you wish.
12:28It's just protocol.
12:30You want to make sure you have an out, right?
12:32No.
12:33No, I'm not looking for an out.
12:35Of course you are.
12:38Actually, I don't need to send this to anyone.
12:42Good.
12:42Just remember, if you do anything to break my granddaughter's heart,
12:47you have to abide by this contract, okay?
12:53Are you having second thoughts?
12:57No.
13:00No.
13:00I'm just wondering why you hate me so much.
13:03Is it because I'm Jack Abbott's son or because of another reason?
13:09That's not the point of this whole meeting right now.
13:11I'd not really like to know, Victor, because I love Claire.
13:15From the bottom of my heart and everything I said about Nicky last night,
13:18I meant it.
13:19But it seems like everything I say or do just isn't good enough for you.
13:24Let's get going, all right?
13:25You will never need to enforce that.
13:43I'm going to make Claire happy.
13:47Good.
13:47I just hope you'll start to see me for the man I am, and not Jack's son.
13:54Well, what you just agreed upon will go a long way to proving me wrong about you.
14:00Oh, thank you so much.
14:21Appreciate it.
14:23It's all set.
14:23The doctors agreed to see you.
14:26Oh, thank God.
14:28Finally.
14:31How are you feeling, Dad?
14:35I feel like I got hit by a truck.
14:38I hardly move.
14:39Well, at least now we'll know for sure what's making you sick and why nothing's been able
14:45to fix it so far.
14:47Honey, what's making me sick?
14:50It's the flu, all right?
14:51Or it's some kind of a bug that just needs to run its course.
14:55Well, I'm convinced that it's more than that.
14:58Now we'll find out for sure.
15:00All right.
15:00Okay, listen, I keep telling you guys, I mean, this is just...
15:05Oh, damn.
15:18Well, I hope you didn't put looking for someone to balance my nasty temper on any of your dating
15:24apps.
15:26I've never even been on a dating app, okay?
15:29Really?
15:29No.
15:30Have you?
15:32Yeah, of course.
15:33I've been on a couple, but never had the courage to pull the trigger.
15:37No, I like meeting people the old-fashioned way, okay?
15:41Face to face.
15:43Yeah, no, I agree.
15:44Gives you a better sense of who they are.
15:46Exactly.
15:48But I do appreciate your honesty, though, about losing it sometimes.
15:52A lot of guys would have buried that one.
15:54Yeah, and that's what's so surprising to me.
15:56I do feel comfortable being open and honest with you.
16:01Yeah?
16:03Completely.
16:04Yeah, I feel the same.
16:06Come on.
16:07You don't have to say that.
16:08No, I'm serious.
16:09I mean, there aren't a lot of people I've opened up to about Neil not being my biological father.
16:14Well, I'm honored that you shared that with me.
16:18It's kind of ironic, though, you know?
16:20Me just finding out who my real dad is.
16:24And maybe that's why it's so easy for us to be, you know, open with each other.
16:29Yeah, maybe.
16:32So, why don't we get back to why you've been single for so long?
16:36Okay.
16:37A new topic, right?
16:38No, it's actually a question that you never answered.
16:43Tell me about the disappointed women out there that you didn't think were the one.
16:48I don't know about disappointed.
16:50Oh, come on.
16:51I'm sure you've broken a few hearts.
16:53Let's hear it.
16:55You know, I like the fact that you're curious.
16:58I got your message.
17:02Hey.
17:03Um, I will let you two talk.
17:11Please, sit.
17:18What's the problem, Damien?
17:20Is it about work?
17:22We need to fly back to L.A. and fix something?
17:25Unfortunately, we're not going to have to fix anything.
17:28for Damien anymore.
17:31He fired us.
17:34Fired?
17:35Yeah, I just found out.
17:36Damn!
17:37Holden, look.
17:38I was right.
17:40You did throw me under the bus, didn't you?
17:47Look, Holden, there was nothing I could do about this, okay?
17:51I couldn't even get Dumas on the phone.
17:52He fired us both through his assistant.
17:54Look, there's something you could have done.
17:56You could have just said no to taking the job at Winners.
17:59Oh, come on, man.
18:00I knew as soon as you brought it up that we were in trouble and that I was going to be the one to take the fall.
18:05As usual.
18:07Look, I was trying to protect you.
18:08I thought Dumas would at least give you my job.
18:13You were trying to protect yourself, Damien.
18:17You were going to do whatever's best for you and to hell with anyone else.
18:24Holden, I don't want to leave you high and dry like this.
18:26It's too late.
18:27You already have.
18:29Now, listen to me.
18:30Listen.
18:31I'm trying to work something out so you can follow me over to Winners.
18:35Lily is 100% on board.
18:36Okay, she feels bad about this too.
18:40No thanks.
18:41Come on, man.
18:42Let me at least try.
18:43Listen, Damien.
18:44I don't want to hear it.
18:46Not after you just casually ditched me and our friendship for some woman you barely even know.
18:51Don't do me any more favors, friend.
18:54Wait a minute.
18:55Are you forgetting all the times that I picked you up, had your back,
19:00Holden.
19:03Look, man.
19:03I always try to do right by you.
19:05Keep me under your thumb.
19:06What's that supposed to be?
19:07It means you like being my boss.
19:10Letting me do all your dirty work while you stood by and grabbed all the glory.
19:14Hell, you even asked me to impersonate you with this brand new big happy family of yours.
19:17Well, I have had enough.
19:23I think it's time for both of us to make a clean break and go our own way.
19:31So, what's the plan?
19:34Um, I think I'll go back to Chicago, stay for bed until Damien finds us a new place.
19:40Yeah, uh, uh.
19:41Out of the question.
19:42You're staying with me until you find a new place.
19:45And we both go back to Chicago and have your stuff shipped here.
19:49Nate.
19:50Uh-uh.
19:51This is not...
19:51You have done so much for me, honey.
19:53No, this is not negotiable.
19:55Especially since you're still in treatment.
19:57We want to be able to check in on you, Amy.
20:01And I know I'd really miss you if you were gone.
20:05Okay.
20:06That is the plan.
20:08Guys, thank you so much again.
20:11It's our pleasure.
20:13Alright, well, how about some lunch?
20:16Yes, you know what?
20:17I am hungry, so let's do lunch.
20:20Yeah, let's get something to eat.
20:22Hello, everyone.
20:24Lily.
20:25Hi.
20:26Good.
20:28Hey, you look amazing.
20:29Thank you, my dear.
20:31Oh, guess what?
20:33Amy just decided to move to General City.
20:36Oh, my God.
20:37Really?
20:38Yes, yes, yes.
20:39Oh, my God.
20:39I'm so happy to hear that.
20:41I know Damien will be, too.
20:43Yeah, well, uh, we are going to go get some lunch.
20:47Yes, uh, you know what?
20:48You two go ahead.
20:49I need to catch up with Lily on a few things.
20:52I'll meet you later on at the club.
20:54Sounds good.
20:55Okay.
20:56Bye, Donald.
20:57Bye.
21:00Uh, is everything okay?
21:03Yeah, yeah.
21:04I just wanted to talk to you about that invitation to Nice.
21:07Aristotle Dumas practically sent out to everybody in town.
21:11What do you make of it?
21:13What do you think he's up to?
21:19He's been like this for a while.
21:20We just took his temperature.
21:22It was 102, almost 103.
21:25That's high.
21:26And the cough?
21:27Yeah, he just can't seem to stop, no matter what we give him.
21:30Even the prescription cough medicine didn't work.
21:32It's not working, yeah.
21:34And, I mean, he's just been really weak and tired.
21:36And he didn't have any appetite.
21:39What do you think it is, doctor?
21:41What's wrong with him?
21:41I don't like the sound of his chest.
21:48We'll need to get him to the hospital for x-rays.
21:50What do you think it is?
21:53It could be pneumonia, but we won't know for sure until we take a look.
21:57Pneumonia?
21:58Pneumonia?
22:06Odin.
22:08Let's try to at least work this out.
22:10There's nothing to work out.
22:12You made your decision.
22:14Now I gotta make mine.
22:15Hi.
22:16Everything all right?
22:20Ask him.
22:20I'm assuming you broke the news from he's out of a job?
22:26What happened?
22:27Why did he leave so suddenly like that?
22:33This is the word call.
22:34I've gotta take this.
22:35Okay.
22:39Victor!
22:40I need to see you.
22:42Okay, what time?
22:44Now.
22:46I'm kind of in the middle of something.
22:48Can we schedule it for a little later?
22:49I said no.
23:00I'm sorry, but I have to go.
23:02Work emergency?
23:04Yeah, something like that.
23:05When you're starting a new business, things always come up.
23:09We'll catch up later.
23:10Okay, good luck to you.
23:11Thanks.
23:11Okay.
23:14Thanks.
23:15Thank you, Tom.
23:16Yeah.
23:16This will all blow over.
23:21Withhold him.
23:21Just, honey, give it time.
23:22I don't know about that, Mom.
23:27He thinks that I betrayed him.
23:29But you didn't, honey.
23:32Yeah, but I kind of see his point.
23:34Look.
23:35I leave Dumas for this great new gay at Leonard's, and he's left with nothing.
23:39It's just a whole big mess, and I feel responsible for all of it.
23:46Look, I know Holden is a friend of yours, but, darling...
23:50No, Mom.
23:52He's more like a brother than a friend.
23:55Listen, back in L.A., we bailed each other out of more scrapes that I could count.
24:00Okay, Holden was the only person in the world that I completely trusted.
24:07I'm sorry.
24:08I...
24:08I didn't say that to hurt you.
24:12I'm not hurt.
24:15But I think my son is.
24:18Honey, I just want you to know that I am here for you now to help any way I can.
24:26I have to admit, the Dumas invitation definitely threw me for a loop.
24:34Devon told me the Newmans and Abbott's were invited, too.
24:37Yeah.
24:38It's a real party.
24:40Sounds sketchy if you ask me.
24:43Anyway, Devon made it clear he's not missing it.
24:46Yeah, I mean, I have to go, too.
24:48No, you don't.
24:49You could politely decline the invitation and stay home.
24:52You don't work for this guy.
24:53How am I going to find out what he's up to?
24:57He could be up to nothing at all.
24:59He just enjoys getting into people's heads, which he's clearly succeeded in doing.
25:03Okay, well, I'm going, Nate.
25:06Yeah.
25:07I hear you.
25:08It's too intriguing to pass up.
25:11So am I holding down the fort?
25:13Do you mind?
25:15I have to show Damien the ropes at his new job, too, so there'll be a lot on your plate.
25:19I'm fine with that.
25:21I'm wondering if I should feel insulted.
25:23Audra and I, I think, make the cut.
25:26I know.
25:27I was actually surprised you guys weren't invited either, but to be honest, I mean, I'm not
25:31mad at not having to have an extended stay with Audra, so no offense.
25:36One day, you'll see what I see.
25:39I don't know, Nate.
25:40I don't think so, you know?
25:42Some people are just destined to not like each other.
25:45It's like a chemistry thing, right?
25:47But you're happy.
25:48That's all that matters.
25:49Yes, I am.
25:51Good.
25:52Well, about the other thing.
25:54Are you sure that you don't mind holding down the fort for winters while we're gone?
25:58No, I don't mind at all.
26:00Just make sure you get a selfie with this guy.
26:04Dying to know who Aristotle Dumas really is.
26:07Yeah, trust me.
26:08You and everybody else.
26:11All the drivers bringing the car around.
26:13He's going to take us to the hospital.
26:15You don't have to go.
26:17Don't even start with me, okay?
26:18Vic, it's just x-rays and some tests.
26:21Cole, I'm going.
26:23All right, okay.
26:23We're going.
26:24Okay.
26:24No, no.
26:25No, you don't need to.
26:26I won't do.
26:27Claire, you told me that work is piling up for you at Chancellor.
26:30The only thing you're going to be doing at the hospital is sitting around and waiting
26:33for us.
26:33And keeping you company.
26:34I'll be fine.
26:35Okay, okay, honey, you need to listen to your mom and you need to see if you can talk
26:40her into staying here with you.
26:44Just kidding.
26:45All right.
26:46Okay.
26:46You're going.
26:47Okay.
26:48I'll stay.
26:50But you have to promise that you'll let me know what's going on.
26:52I promise.
26:53Will.
26:57And you.
27:02And you.
27:03I have to listen to the doctors.
27:06Okay.
27:08I need you to get better.
27:12I love you.
27:15Lucky too, Claire.
27:19Even as lousy as I feel right now.
27:22I really am.
27:25I'm the luckiest man in the world.
27:33Okay.
27:34I'm here.
27:36What was the urgency of my summons?
27:39When I asked you to have a meeting with you,
27:42all I want to hear from you is,
27:44yes, please have a seat.
27:46So, what's the problem?
27:52The problem is you haven't done a damn thing about convincing my granddaughter
27:57that Kyle Abbott is a bad guy.
27:59Now, what about our agreement did you not understand?
28:04These things take time, Victor.
28:07Time and finesse.
28:09I can't just cast a line and reel him in.
28:12I don't give a damn how you do this.
28:14But something better have happened before I get back from France.
28:36Hey.
28:37Hey.
28:37I got your text.
28:38Is everything all right?
28:39Um, I don't know.
28:42Where's Cole?
28:43Where's your mom?
28:44At the hospital.
28:45The hospital?
28:48The doctor thinks it might be pneumonia.
28:50And if it is,
28:51then they're probably going to have to admit it.
28:54Well, people get pneumonia all the time.
28:56And they eventually get better.
28:58Sometimes they don't.
29:01Cole's a strong guy.
29:02He's going to pull through it.
29:05Okay?
29:05Okay.
29:09Well, thank you for stepping in for us.
29:13Devon and I owe you one.
29:15Forget about it.
29:16Oh, you guys more than one for all the times you stepped in for me with Damien and Amy.
29:21Okay.
29:22So, we're even.
29:24Sounds good to me.
29:26Oh, and look.
29:27And when you're in a French Riviera investigating the mystery of Aristotle Dumas,
29:33I hope you spare a little time to have some fun.
29:35You know, go sightseeing.
29:38See a museum or two.
29:40Maybe even meet someone.
29:42Oh, God.
29:43If you haven't already yet.
29:45Oh, my God.
29:46For the thousandth time, there is nothing happening between Damien and me.
29:50Maybe not yet.
29:52Okay, yeah.
29:53You're really loving this, aren't you?
29:54Immensely.
29:55Yeah.
29:55I just hope you guys remember to send me an invitation to the wedding.
29:59Oh, my God.
29:59Okay.
30:00Anyway, speaking of Damien, he's breaking the news to Holden this morning.
30:07I'm sure he's not taking that well.
30:10Odin doesn't strike me as the type of guy who lets bad news roll off his back.
30:13Well, honestly, Damien feels responsible.
30:17And I do, too.
30:20But he's wondering if maybe there's a spot for Holden at Winters.
30:27Did you offer him that?
30:28No, no.
30:29I said I was going to talk to you and Devon first.
30:33I don't know, Lily.
30:35Do we even have a spot for him?
30:37I mean, he could maybe work in the hotel division with Damien.
30:45Look, I know you don't like the guy, okay?
30:47I don't trust him.
30:48It's more like it.
30:50Okay, well, just think about it, okay?
30:53And look, you're not doing it for Holden.
30:55You're doing it for Damien.
30:57And honestly, I feel responsible, too.
30:59I was the one that was pushing Damien to be a corporate spy for Dumas,
31:04which caused Dumas to fire them in the first place.
31:06So you're also doing it for me.
31:12Aristotle Dumas.
31:14It's a name I barely heard of until recently.
31:18Now he seems to have a hand in everything that's going on in this town.
31:22Yeah, I know.
31:23Which is why we're going to Nice.
31:26To figure out who he is and what he wants.
31:28So, Aristotle Dumas invited you to France, too?
31:38Mm-hmm.
31:39Hmm.
31:41Lily and Devon were invited.
31:43Jack and Diane Abbott.
31:46Seems like every top player in town will be there.
31:49That's of no interest to me.
31:51What's your point?
31:54That it might be helpful to get Kyle away from Genoa City for a while, too.
32:00Being away from home and from Claire might make him more open to distractions.
32:07Then how do you propose I make that happen?
32:14Just make sure Kyle and I get invited to this French soiree.
32:18I'll take care of the rest.
32:20You have a good day.
32:41He came.
32:43Yeah, well, you sounded so desperate on the phone.
32:47I took pity on you.
32:50That's not nothing, I guess.
32:55Don't make me regret this, Holden.
32:57I have a whole lot of better things I can be doing.
33:02Sorry, I...
33:03I appreciate you showing up.
33:06Thanks, Audra.
33:08Please, have a seat.
33:12Please.
33:16Okay, so, um, now that I'm here...
33:20What's so urgent?
33:23A while back, you said you would be my friend.
33:30And...
33:30Make it really easy, won't I know?
33:34I-I heard about you being fired.
33:40Like, and I'm sorry, Holden, but that's...
33:44That's tough.
33:45I've been there before.
33:46No doubt you have.
33:49No doubt you have.
33:50But were you fired by your best friend?
33:55Scratch that.
33:56Someone who you thought was your best friend.
33:59See, that's the part that gets me the most.
34:01It's not...
34:01It's not the job.
34:03It's the way that Damien used me to get what he wanted here,
34:06and then threw me away like yesterday's trash.
34:10Like, all those years, we had each other's back.
34:13Didn't amount to a damn thing.
34:18I didn't mean to dump all this on you.
34:20I...
34:20I honestly didn't know who else to call, Andra.
34:26You're the only person who's ever really gotten to know me.
34:34Anyway, you don't have to hang around here for this.
34:37You can...
34:38You can leave if you want.
34:50I appreciate the offer, Bob, but...
35:02Unless you secretly own a corporation or two that's hiring...
35:07I'm gonna have to handle this Holden thing on my own.
35:14Nope, no corporations in here.
35:18See, I got you the smile.
35:20Yeah.
35:20Yeah.
35:21Yeah, I appreciate that.
35:23But I...
35:24I should be the one cheering you up.
35:27Not the other way around.
35:29I've got everything I need right here, honey.
35:32It is you that is hurting.
35:35And I've got quite a few years of mothering to make up.
35:39So, my darling son, I'm going to ask you one more time.
35:43What can I do to help?
35:45Well, I guess you could help me figure out some kind of peace offering to give to Holden.
35:55Yes.
35:56I can do that.
35:57But in my long life, I found that most of these answers to questions like this come from here.
36:10You're a good man, Damien.
36:18You'll know what to do.
36:19Look, I hope I come back from France with answers, too.
36:25And not just what Dumas wants and how it all ended up in Genoa City.
36:29I don't know if you're going to get all that in one trip.
36:32That even put money on him not showing up at all to his own party.
36:36This could end up being a wild goose chase.
36:38No.
36:39No.
36:39I'm not going to let it.
36:41One way or another, I am going to meet Dumas, look him in the eye, and finally get the truth.
36:47Failure is not an option.
36:51I'm probably overreacting.
36:54Hey, you have every right to feel however you feel.
36:59He's your dad.
37:02Yeah.
37:04My dad.
37:08I'm probably feeling that, too, you know?
37:11I love him so much, and I can't fix his suffering.
37:20Not any more than I can give him back all that time that he missed with me.
37:26That's why you made this time count.
37:29And you have, Claire.
37:32You're a great daughter, and Cole knows and feels that.
37:38Thank you for saying that.
37:39No, I'm not just saying that.
37:40I believe it.
37:44Well, anyway, I haven't even, um, I haven't even asked you how did this morning go with my grandfather.
37:51It was fine, huh?
37:57It was fine.
37:58I will fill you in on the details later, but right now, all you need to do is think about your dad and getting him well.
38:05It was fine.
38:21It was fine.
38:23You
