00:01Hey.
00:02Oh, were you planning on adding that to the mountain of luggage I just saw in the car?
00:06Oh, ha ha ha, very funny, but I have learned that it is critical to be prepared for every possible situation.
00:13You might need to rent a van.
00:15Or a truck, if your mother keeps packing just one more thing.
00:18I can assure you that each and everything in those suitcases is a vital necessity, but I swear, I'm done.
00:24How'd your lunch meeting go?
00:26Oh, it's a lock.
00:28Really? That's great. I also ran to Audra Charles while I was at the club.
00:33She has a pretty wild plan.
00:36Audra's capable of a lot of plans, none of them good.
00:39This one is interesting.
00:43Does this have anything to do with her idea to stage a battle between our two companies?
00:48It does.
00:50She wants it to go down in Nice, pit one of Jabot's perfumes against the product sample of a Bronte's.
00:56The hook, whose perfume does the most mysterious man in the world choose for the special woman in his life?
01:03Real-time buzz goes down on social media.
01:05Well, I hate to admit it, but it's a clever marketing strategy.
01:08Say what you will about Audra Charles, she definitely plays to win.
01:13This perfume battle with Jabot could take the Bronte to the next level.
01:19It would be very impressive if you could pull it off.
01:22Oh, and I will.
01:24The key is to figure out the best way to parlay the Jabot invite into the kind of publicity that could launch Vibronte on an international scale on day one.
01:34Sure, I have a lot of ideas about how to make that happen.
01:37It's all I can think about.
01:40And what better setting than the south of France?
01:44The glamour, the money, power.
01:47I mean, the place where perfume was cultivated, it couldn't be more perfect.
01:51And that this battle will play out against the backdrop of the first ever party thrown by the world's most mysterious mega mogul.
02:00How can we not go viral?
02:02Pretty amazing.
02:03Isn't it?
02:05Especially the part where you managed to get yourself invited at all.
02:10When I want something, I make it happen.
02:13You know that.
02:15All I had to do was send Dumas the idea for my Perfume Wars campaign and he was intrigued.
02:22Intrigued enough to send you an invitation to a super exclusive party.
02:28Just like that.
02:30You don't believe me?
02:40But as soon as you had you.
02:41Formulaifies
02:46In this news season
03:00What has happened yet?
03:08THE END
03:38All right. This trip should be cool. Though the whole Dumas thing makes it a giant question mark.
03:46Yeah. I hope we've made the right decision in going.
03:49It's the south of France, Mom. It's always the right decision.
03:54And I wish Victoria could join us there, but with Cole in the hospital, of course, he wants to be by his side. At least he's stable.
04:03I just hope the guy's back to normal by the time we get home.
04:06Yeah. I do, too.
04:09So, um, do you want to go to the airport with your father and me?
04:12No, you guys go ahead. I'll meet you there. I'm going to drop in on Sharon one last time and see if I can convince her to come with us.
04:19I thought you said she was set on staying home.
04:23She was, but I can be very persuasive when I need to be, and I think Sharon could really use this trip, so...
04:28I'm going to make it happen.
04:32Oh, my gosh. Look at that. Baby's first balance bike.
04:38I know. She loves that thing.
04:40She zips all around the house and in the backyard.
04:44I mean, she'd probably sleep on the thing if she could.
04:47Oh, and the helmet's very fashion-forward.
04:50I know. It seems like my daughter is turning into a budding fashionista.
04:55You seem calmer, more in control. Are things better?
05:06Um, Tessa and I have started a dialogue.
05:12That's wonderful. So you're ready to share what happened with Tessa?
05:16Uh, well, there's, uh, there's a lot more to say, but, uh, we've opened the door.
05:24I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.
05:33Thank you for meeting with me.
05:35I'm sure you're very busy preparing for your big trip to Nice.
05:39Although, who knows if this trip is for pleasure or something a little more complicated.
05:45I'm well prepared.
05:46Of course you are.
05:48And I'm sure Nikki is going to miss driving her birthday present.
05:52That is one special car.
05:54Yeah, a beautiful car. Oh.
05:57So what is it you want?
06:02I'm sure you're aware I am not a fan of using Newman Media to launch an attack on Billy.
06:08Adam told me.
06:10Well, he agrees with me.
06:12Well, I do not.
06:13But since you trust him to run the company, maybe you can trust him on this.
06:19Let me put it this way.
06:21If you have come here to try to persuade me to not go after Billy Abbott, you're wasting your time in mine, okay?
06:27I don't expect you to do me any favors out of the goodness of your heart, Victor.
06:32So, I've come here prepared to cut a deal with you.
06:35Really?
06:37What kind of a deal?
06:38Tell you the true identity of Aristotle Dumas.
06:41Hey, what are you doing here?
06:49Shouldn't you be wheels up soon?
06:51What's the plan?
06:52Hey, Nick.
06:53Hey.
06:54How are you doing?
06:55I'm good.
06:57Love hearing that.
06:58Um, I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
07:01I just thought I would come by one last time and see if you changed your mind about going.
07:06Going to what?
07:07Nick's invited me to Aristotle Dumas' party in Nice.
07:12You know, I've been hearing that guy's name everywhere lately, which is strange for somebody who wants to remain anonymous.
07:18Yeah, his PR team's done a pretty slick job ramping up the intrigue, but it's time for him to go public.
07:24This party might be the perfect place to do that.
07:27And you don't want to be there for that?
07:30What's the big deal about some mystery mogul's reveal?
07:35You're kidding, right?
07:37I mean, this is a huge opportunity.
07:40This is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime event.
07:42Well, I'm happy with my life right here.
07:45Which is great, but you could be in Nice.
07:50Yeah, the south of France at one of the most exclusive parties ever.
07:54Possibly turning down what could be the event of the year.
07:57Um, are you two ganging up on me now?
08:02Yes.
08:03Yes, we are.
08:08It is an intriguing idea.
08:10We are Dumas' guests, though.
08:12One would think we'd have to get his approval.
08:14Hmm, the same concern, but Audra doubts Hilda Klein, so she's working on the pitch.
08:20It all adds to the aura and mystery so hell-bent on capitalizing on, and I tend to agree.
08:26All right, there is one other issue.
08:28You haven't been invited to Dumas' party, neither has Audra, so how is this exactly going to work?
08:33Well, Audra is nothing but resourceful.
08:36Somehow she finagled an invite to the party and offered me a plus one.
08:40What? So you would go with her as her date?
08:44Hell no. We'd travel separately.
08:47I mean, the thing is, I'm committed to running Jabot while you're gone, and I want to be close to Claire, given her father's health.
08:53So I suggested you could run the stunt on our end, since you'll be there.
08:58And what did Audra say?
09:00She wasn't particularly enthusiastic.
09:03Why not?
09:03Well, she thinks someone closer in age, younger, sexier, hotter.
09:14No offense, Dad.
09:16You know what? I think you're very hot and very sexy.
09:21Thank you very much.
09:22No, I think Audra is right.
09:24I think you are the far better fit for this particular clash of creations.
09:30So you think I should come to this?
09:31No, no, no, wait. Hold on.
09:32I don't think we should be signing on for any of this.
09:36We know everything there is to know about Audra Charles, and if we go along with this,
09:41you'll be playing right into her hands, and that is not where you want to be.
09:49I believe you, Audra.
09:51It just strikes me as strange that the intensely private Aristotle Dumas is willing to participate in some publicity stunt for perfume.
10:00Especially for a brand new company, no one's even heard of.
10:05Yet.
10:07And that doesn't sound like you believe me.
10:10You can't blame me for having questions.
10:12You think I've crossed the line?
10:15You disapprove?
10:16No, not disapproval.
10:17And it's not just about you suddenly being in the mix.
10:20It's the whole setup that disturbs me.
10:23To go from scrubbing every photograph and detail of his life from the internet so he can maintain his privacy,
10:29to being a part of some stunt.
10:32And that's on top of suddenly deciding to reveal himself to the world, or at least to the power players of Genoa City.
10:40It doesn't make sense.
10:42You know what does make sense?
10:43It's that I saw an opportunity, and I took it.
10:48And it's going to pay off.
10:50Can't that be enough?
10:51I wish it could be, Audra, but Dumas is an unknown.
10:56What we do know about him is that he's powerful, ruthless, and not to be trusted.
11:03You're just upset because he fired Damien.
11:06But your brother was going to leave Arabesque anyway.
11:11Dumas' laws is winter's game.
11:14True.
11:16But I can't help wondering if Lily and Devon and...
11:20Now you are walking into some sort of trap.
11:26So when did this Dumas fellow confide in you?
11:30The man hasn't told me anything personally.
11:34Then you don't know him.
11:35I don't.
11:37But I have figured out who he is.
11:39How?
11:40My days as a con artist taught me how to recognize and see the truth behind the lie.
11:46Interesting.
11:48Who have you shared this information with?
11:51Your ears only, Victor.
11:54You're about to enter enemy territory.
11:57You have to be as prepared as possible.
11:59Starting with Dumas' true identity.
12:02And you're about to enlighten me, right?
12:05I am.
12:08I'll be down.
12:13You walk into every battle with the upper hand.
12:16My information will just give you more power.
12:19Help you protect your family, your companies.
12:22If you truly cared about those things, you would give me the information and not make demands.
12:32It's a simple request, Victor.
12:35I give you Dumas' real name.
12:37You agree to back off Billy.
12:40He's a big boy.
12:41He can take care of himself.
12:42But he's not a threat to you.
12:44Why are you so insistent on helping Billy Boy Abbott?
12:51Is it because you're still in love with him?
12:54Are you using my son to distract from your feelings for Billy Boy Abbott?
13:00Being a guest of the most elusive man in the world does sound amazing.
13:10And of course, I would love to be there for this big reveal, if that's what his party is really all about.
13:15So then, say yes.
13:19I don't know.
13:21You don't know?
13:22We're talking wine, food, beaches.
13:25Possibly hitching a ride on a mega yacht.
13:28Okay, okay.
13:29You don't have to sell me on this.
13:31It's just, I don't know if I want to be away from my family right now.
13:36I get that.
13:37I don't want to take you away from, you know, what matters most.
13:40It's family first, always.
13:42No, no, no, absolutely not.
13:45I, I would feel terrible if you missed out on an opportunity like this because of me.
13:52I want to do this for you.
13:54I know.
13:55But I told you, Tessa and I are talking.
13:59We're going to be fine.
14:01The last thing I want you to do is put your life on hold because of my problems.
14:06I would do that for you in a heartbeat and happily.
14:10Okay, mom, let me spell it out for you.
14:12I would feel so much less guilty knowing that you did not miss out on an opportunity like this because of me.
14:22I mean, I don't know how you could argue with your daughter.
14:24Look, I get your reluctance to go along with any idea of Audra's, but think about it.
14:34Audra's company is green, totally untested.
14:36She has no real experience in the cosmetics industry.
14:39There's no way she can beat us.
14:40I think this is a good idea.
14:41Yeah, just battle royale is one Chabot can win easily.
14:47The attendant publicity and hype are going to bring more eyes and ultimately more hands to Chabot products.
14:54I think it would be short-sighted not to participate in her little game.
14:57Well, I suppose it is a way to undercut Verbronte right out of the gate.
15:01Exactly.
15:02Let Audra learn to feed the hard way.
15:04On a personal note, I would really, really love to be the one to take her down.
15:08Wait a minute, are you saying that you are going to join us in these?
15:12As much as I would love to see this play out, see the look on Audra's face when I publicly humiliate her,
15:20I'm not going anywhere.
15:22I have to find a way to crush Audra's dreams from afar.
15:28I appreciate you looking out for me, but don't you think you're being overly cautious?
15:35There's nothing wrong with being careful.
15:37A little paranoid, maybe.
15:39Not paranoid if it's true.
15:42This man is the epitome of an enigma, an image he's gone a great lengths to maintain.
15:47And now, all of a sudden, he's throwing a party for Genoa City Power Brokers?
15:52Why?
15:52Uh, he's rich.
15:54Eccentric.
15:55I don't know, maybe he's just tired of being a recluse.
15:58And with all those billions, why not throw a party?
16:02Who knows, maybe he'll be like Jay Gatsby and won't even make an appearance.
16:05I find that highly unlikely.
16:08Every move Dumas makes is calculated.
16:11This party isn't about fun.
16:13It's a tool, maybe even a weapon.
16:16Okay, well now you're just taking all the fun out of it.
16:18Audra, think about it.
16:19Why now?
16:21Why suddenly decide to come out of the shadows and lure Lily into Vaughn and the rest of Genoa City's business titans halfway across the world?
16:29What if he's making a move to take over chance?
16:32Or winters?
16:33Are you absolutely sure that you want me to go?
16:45Because you might be feeling better right now, but you might need me tomorrow or the next day.
16:51And I don't want to be in a completely different time zone.
16:54Oh my gosh, if only there weren't this thing called a phone.
16:59True.
17:00But what about Cassidy first?
17:04I'll cover for you.
17:07Yes, you are out of excuses.
17:09Okay, you promise me.
17:13You swear that you will reach out if you need me.
17:18I promise.
17:21Seems like you have a plane to catch, so...
17:24I better go pack.
17:26Yeah!
17:34Thanks for the help.
17:35Convincing her to go.
17:36Appreciate it.
17:38Yeah, I'm glad.
17:38It seems like she could use that.
17:41She could.
17:43Is that the reason why you asked her?
17:46What else?
17:47I don't know.
17:48I mean, you guys have been spending a lot of time together lately.
17:53Is this turning into a thing?
17:58Maybe Aristotle Dumas' identity reveal party isn't so sudden.
18:03Could be that he's been planning this for a long time, and there's nothing nefarious about it.
18:07Unless Dumas has taken that time to carefully lay the groundwork to blow up Chancellor and or Winters and take them for himself.
18:15Both companies are privately owned, aren't they?
18:18How could he even be a threat?
18:20Money talks.
18:21Dumas could have someone on the inside.
18:23A board member willing to change sides for the right price.
18:27Isn't that a stretch?
18:28I got tangled up with the Newmans once.
18:32Convinced myself it was in my best interest to support them over my own family.
18:36So no, not such a stretch.
18:38Wait, did you consider that you might be overthinking this?
18:41The man is up to something, and I'm curious as hell about what his real motive is.
18:46I agree.
18:48And the only way to find out is to go.
18:50You're right.
18:52Doesn't mean I like it, but there is one way to put my mind at ease.
18:57What's that?
18:59I'll go with you.
19:00I don't know if this battle between the two companies is going to have the effect you intended if you're halfway around the world.
19:09Dad, I get that, but it's not a good time for me to leave Genoa City right now.
19:13As I said, I'm covering for you at Jabot in your absence, and I don't want to leave the country when Claire's so worried about her dad.
19:19Jabot has a very deep bench.
19:20We can find somebody to take the helm temporarily.
19:23I do think you should discuss this with Claire before you make a decision.
19:26Kyle, why don't you call Claire and see how she feels about you going to Nice with Audra, and you can find out how Cole is doing.
19:33You know what? I am overdue for a check-in.
19:36Excuse me.
19:43Are you serious about this?
19:45About what?
19:46About this plan of Audra's.
19:49Whatever merit it might have, she cannot be trusted.
19:52And honestly, I'm just really surprised that you're encouraging it.
19:56Being preemptive, there is more going on here than meets the eye.
20:00In what way?
20:01If I had to guess, I would say Audra is setting a trap for Kyle at the behest of the man who is pulling her financial strings.
20:10That would be Victor.
20:13I don't love Billy.
20:16My heart is with Adam.
20:18My feelings for him are real.
20:20But yes, I will always care about Billy.
20:22That man saved my life.
20:24Oh, of course.
20:27So then you betrayed him without him.
20:30So that is what this is all about, is guilt, right?
20:33I can't repair the damage I've done.
20:37But I refuse to do anything going forward that's going to hurt Billy.
20:40So I'm begging you to make a deal.
20:42The information I have can help protect your family.
20:45If you just stop going after Billy in this negative media blitz.
20:50Why would I give up something of value to me for information that I already have?
20:59You already have?
21:02I know who Aristotle Demai is.
21:06Sharon and I are not a thing, all right?
21:13We're just hanging out.
21:15We're getting closer again.
21:19Hmm?
21:20What?
21:21Look, we went to London.
21:23We had a blast.
21:25We're good for each other.
21:26Feels right.
21:28Well, good.
21:29I am glad to hear that.
21:31You know, after everything that Sharon has been through, it's just nice to know that she can have some fun.
21:39You know, maybe a little adventure.
21:41Someone she feels safe with.
21:43And what about you?
21:45What about me?
21:47Well, you've been through some hell, too.
21:50You know, stuff that doesn't just go away.
21:55So Sharon said something.
21:56She didn't give me any details, I promise you.
21:59She's just worried about you.
22:02Clearly, uh, you're worried, too, considering that conversation.
22:06Um, are you sure you're going to be okay if Sharon isn't here for you to lean on?
22:11Yeah.
22:13I might be going through something right now, but Sharon can be a little hovery.
22:21She can?
22:22And as much as she's trying to help right now, it kind of is just making things harder.
22:28She loves you, and she worries.
22:31You know, two of the things that make her such a great mom.
22:33I know, and I love that about her.
22:36I just think I...
22:38I think I just need some space.
22:42Got it.
22:43So part of the reason why you were pushing so hard for her to go, Denise, isn't so she brings you home something cool.
22:49You need some time and space to figure some stuff out.
22:53Yeah, maybe a little.
22:56Well, I hope you know.
22:59You can always come to me, someone else who loves and cares about you.
23:04Someone who isn't your mom.
23:06You know, sometimes that can be easier.
23:07Well, I sincerely hope that I never have to take you up on that offer, but knowing that it's out there, it really means the world.
23:19So, thank you.
23:21We have had our suspicions about Victor's involvement.
23:33What other reason could that man have for backing another Audra venture with their history?
23:39Unless he was going to weaponize it for his benefit.
23:42And since the focus of his life seems to be bringing this family down, I think it's safe to say that he wants to have Audra do some damage to Jabot.
23:50Or, more specifically, to set Kyle up to take a fall.
23:54Our family is Victor's Achilles heel.
23:56Kyle was ours.
23:56Victor knows that.
23:58What if this whole plan turns around them, luring Kyle to France, tripping him up, making him look bad, not just in the industry, but in the eyes of Claire?
24:09Well, it sounds exactly like something Victor would do, but how is he going to pull that off?
24:13That, I don't know.
24:15But whatever it is, he is going to create a situation that will hurt or perhaps destroy Kyle's relationship with Claire, and there is the added bonus that it would negatively impact Jabot.
24:26Yeah, it all adds up.
24:28I mean, why else would Audra want to create this public battle with Kyle specifically as a representative of our company?
24:35It's a total Victor move.
24:36Luckily for us, Audra overplayed her hand.
24:42Go with me?
24:43You don't want to do that.
24:45Yes, I do.
24:47Given all the uncertainty about Dumas, what this party's all about, at least I would be close to you and my cousins in case there was trouble.
24:56And it wouldn't be too terrible to spend some time with you in the south of France.
25:01That would be incredible, but I'm going to be working the entire time.
25:08I mean, what fun would that be for you?
25:10And you're going to have your hands full here, right?
25:14Running winters for Devon and Lily.
25:16Doesn't mean I have to be in the office.
25:18Damien just started at your hotel division, right?
25:23So I'm sure you want to show your brother the ropes, help him get settled in, and not to mention being here for Amy in case there are any issues with her treatment.
25:34And are you about to close that major festival deal, which requires an on-site inspection of the property?
25:42All of the above are true, but I can make it work.
25:44I just need to rearrange a few things.
25:46That's all.
25:47Nate, if this really is some grand Aristotle Dumas master of the universe corporate trap, which I'm sure it isn't,
25:57Do you really think Devon and Lily can't hold their own against a man?
26:03Of course they can.
26:04And you better not be thinking I can't.
26:07I have no doubt you can hold your own against anyone, Audra.
26:11Which you have proven time and again.
26:17Although, I would like to revisit you and me, Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Kat Farah, at some point in the future.
26:30Well, that can definitely be arranged.
26:33Just once V Bronte becomes the number one cosmetics company in the world.
26:39Boy, you are ruthless.
26:40It's one of the things you like best about me.
26:43I can't argue with you on that one.
26:45Well, I have to go upstairs and finish packing.
26:51Maybe you can help me.
26:53So I can say au revoir properly.
26:57Ooh.
26:58I like that idea very much.
27:08What is it they say about French goodbyes?
27:12Hmm.
27:12There's something about them taking a long time.
27:28You know who Aristotle Dumas really is?
27:32You're bluffing.
27:34You're bluffing.
27:35I can spot a tell a mile away.
27:39I don't have any tells.
27:42Anita drummed them out of me at a very young age.
27:45Other kids were learning how to ride bikes.
27:46I was learning not to fidget.
27:48Other kids were learning how to swim.
27:50I was learning how not to break eye contact while lying.
27:53Maybe you've lost your touch, you know?
27:58You've become duolist in the intervening years.
28:01Victor, this isn't a game.
28:03I have information you need.
28:06You're here to tell me
28:07that Aristotle Dumas
28:11is Tucker McCall.
28:13Okay.
28:22You got me.
28:24Tucker is Dumas.
28:28Makes a lot of sense.
28:29You know,
28:31Tucker McCall always thought
28:32that he was a man of mystery.
28:35Steps ahead of everyone else.
28:38Easy for you to make an educated guess, isn't it?
28:40It's not a guess.
28:43Of course it is.
28:46If it weren't,
28:47you would be smart enough
28:48to present proof
28:49to substantiate your claim.
28:53Okay, fine.
28:54It was a calculated guess,
28:55but it makes so much sense.
28:58Tucker has access to grind
28:59with so many people in Genoa City.
29:01You, Kyle Abbott,
29:04Audra Charles,
29:04oh, and he's desperate
29:06to repair his relationship with Devon.
29:08All of those people are going to the party,
29:09and he wants to take Chancellor
29:11away from you and Nicky
29:12because it was his mother's company.
29:15Such a smart cookie.
29:17The way you collect all the points,
29:19wow.
29:23But I hate to disappoint you.
29:27Tucker McCall.
29:29It's not Aristotle Dumas.
29:31If it's Victor's intention
29:37to hurt Kyle with this publicity scheme,
29:40then why are you encouraging our son
29:42to go along with it
29:43and give Audra the chance
29:45to publicly humiliate him?
29:47No, Jack,
29:47we will take care of it
29:48while we are over there.
29:50We will put Audra in her place,
29:52and Kyle doesn't have to deal with it.
29:54Kyle very much wants to deal with it.
29:56But Audra's done enough damage,
29:58and why risk hurting Claire?
30:00That is all the reason Kyle needs
30:01to want to find the answers himself,
30:04to figure this out on his own.
30:06He gets to be the one
30:07to look Audra in the eye
30:09and say,
30:10you failed.
30:11He can't do that from Genoa City.
30:13All right,
30:14but it's a bad idea.
30:15Victor's involved.
30:17The man is dangerous.
30:19That's just a bigger reason
30:21that Kyle needs a victory here.
30:23Listen to me.
30:25Victor gutted him
30:26with that whole glissade thing.
30:28Now he is constantly interfering
30:30in his relationship with Claire.
30:33The best way for Kyle
30:35to pay him back
30:36is to call him out.
30:38Expose the trap
30:39and walk away with a win.
30:41You need to protect him.
30:43I know that's your instinct,
30:44and I love you for it.
30:46Our son is very bright.
30:47He is very savvy.
30:48And he needs this victory
30:50with Victor.
30:51I don't like it.
30:53The fact that Audra's involved
30:54just really complicates things
30:56if you ask me.
30:57Audra has bested Audra before
30:58at glissade.
30:59Exactly.
31:00So she'll be out for revenge.
31:02And to be honest,
31:03it's not her mind for business
31:05that has me worried.
31:07You are worried
31:08about their romantic history.
31:09Romance?
31:11Come on.
31:12That's putting it mildly
31:14and gently.
31:16I'm sorry.
31:17She cannot be trusted
31:18not to weaponize
31:20her sexuality.
31:21Okay.
31:21We're walking into
31:23very difficult territory
31:25trying to protect Kyle
31:26from his own...
31:27His instincts.
31:29He loves Claire.
31:31That's right.
31:32And she loves him.
31:33But what they have together,
31:35it's delicate.
31:36It's fragile.
31:37And he would never do anything
31:39to jeopardize that.
31:40He cares deeply
31:41about her heart.
31:43Look at the lengths
31:44he's gone to
31:45to get Victor's approval.
31:46Okay.
31:47You're right.
31:48No, I know you want
31:49to play it safe.
31:50I think that's natural.
31:52natural.
31:54But we're going to be there.
31:56We'll make sure
31:56that nothing happens.
32:00I almost think
32:01you're looking forward
32:02to this.
32:03It's because
32:04I completely trust
32:06our son.
32:07And I would like
32:08nothing more
32:09than to watch him
32:10play and beat Victor
32:12at his own game.
32:14Think about it.
32:15Victor's standing there
32:16with egg all over his face
32:18at Dumas Party
32:20of the Year.
32:22That sounds like
32:23fun to me.
32:26How can you be
32:27so sure I'm wrong?
32:29I have direct evidence
32:30that your story
32:31is bogus.
32:32What evidence?
32:34Chelsea,
32:36you're dealing
32:37with Victor Newman.
32:39I know things
32:40and I happen to know.
32:43At Taka McCall
32:44I spent the last
32:45six months
32:46in a prison
32:47in India.
32:48Oh.
32:51Oh.
32:53I guess it would be hard
32:54to throw a party
32:54at me then.
32:56It wouldn't have.
32:58Okay.
32:59So I admire your plug
33:00trying to convince me
33:02of something
33:02that isn't so.
33:04What I want you to do
33:06is to abandon
33:07the idea
33:08of protecting
33:08Billy Abbott.
33:10But it's unfair.
33:11I want you
33:12to protect my son
33:13and his work
33:14at Newman Media.
33:16Even if I think
33:17it's wrong?
33:18You have to make
33:18choices.
33:20You make the right one.
33:25So,
33:25there's nothing
33:26I can do
33:26to change your mind.
33:27I admire you
33:34for trying
33:35but you can't.
33:40So then
33:41if Tucker
33:41is not
33:42Dumas
33:42who is?
33:45You said
33:46you knew.
33:47You don't
33:48stop to hear.
33:50You have a nice day
33:51okay?
33:52Nice to see you
33:53Chelsea.
33:53you do.
33:54You do.
34:02I cannot believe
34:04I'm doing this
34:05and jetting off
34:06to the Riviera.
34:08Believe it.
34:09It's happening.
34:10Your bag's in the car.
34:11Let's roll.
34:12You are going to be there
34:12for the unveiling
34:13of one of the most
34:14talked about people
34:15in the world.
34:16And I have no idea
34:18what I packed
34:19and it is probably
34:20all wrong.
34:22What do you wear
34:23to meet
34:23a reclusive
34:24billionaire?
34:25You wear
34:26whatever the hell
34:27you want.
34:27You're going to look
34:28great.
34:28Yeah,
34:29and you know
34:29what I hear
34:29about France?
34:30The shopping?
34:31Excellent.
34:32Oh,
34:33you know what
34:33I just remembered?
34:34We have a deck
34:35to prepare
34:36for Cassidy First
34:37our next board meeting.
34:39Mom,
34:39it's already done.
34:40It's in your inbox.
34:41You can check it out
34:42on the flight.
34:43If we make
34:45the flight.
34:46Oh,
34:47chill out.
34:48I seriously doubt
34:48that Neiman Jett
34:49is going to take off
34:50without you,
34:50so.
34:51I'm a pretty big deal,
34:52so you're right.
34:53Yeah,
34:53okay,
34:54but no more stalling.
34:55Get out of here.
34:57Promise me
34:58you'll be okay.
34:59I promise,
35:00and if I even feel
35:01a twinge,
35:03you'll be my first call.
35:04I am going to call
35:05you regularly,
35:06and I expect
35:07for you to answer.
35:08It goes both ways.
35:09Go,
35:10go,
35:10get out of here.
35:11Let's go.
35:12Thank you,
35:12I love you.
35:13I love you too.
35:14Have so much fun.
35:22Come on,
35:22beat it.
35:23Spam.
35:23Go,
35:24go.
35:24Have fun,
35:25you guys.
35:25Hey,
35:37how's Cole?
35:39Hey, how's Cole?
35:49He seems to have stabilized.
35:51Well, that's good news.
35:53Victoria and Claire want to stay close, so they've taken up rooms at a nearby hotel for the next few days.
35:57Did you talk to Claire about the trip?
36:00I did.
36:01She thinks if it's important to Jabot, then Nisa's where I should be.
36:06And what do you think?
36:07I think I'm going to pack a bag.
36:13Too bad we don't have enough time to say goodbye all over again.
36:18Well, there's always a welcome home.
36:22And I will be looking forward to that on so many levels.
36:28Do not worry.
36:31It's hard not to.
36:34Let me take you to the airport.
36:35I appreciate the offer, but I scheduled the right share.
36:40It should be out front any minute.
36:45You've got to be careful, right?
36:47Again, you need to stop worrying.
36:49I've got this.
36:50Things happen, especially around types like Dumas.
36:53So just promise me you won't get into any trouble.
37:00Me?
37:01Trouble?
37:02Is that your ride?
37:17Must be.
37:19There you are.
37:38Hi, sweetheart.
37:40The luggage is in the car.
37:42Jet is ready.
37:45Where's Nicholas?
37:46He's going to meet us at the airport.
37:49Oh.
37:50So did Chelsea try to convince you not to use Newman Media against Billy?
37:55She did.
37:57Was she successful?
37:58Well, what do you think?
37:59Of course not.
38:00I'm not surprised.
38:06You almost have a while.
38:08This trip should offer plenty of them.
38:10Uh-huh.
38:12So are you ready for whatever Dumas has in store for us?
38:16Are you nervous or what?
38:18Well, I kind of feel like we're being led into the lion's den.
38:22Oh, come on.
38:24My darling, I've dealt with bigger fish than that.
38:27All right?
38:27Don't you worry about a thing.
38:29Don't you worry about a thing.
