00:45caviar good stuff i saw the labels on the champagne the man knows how to entertain
00:53victor what do you think you haven't said much he's probably just measuring the place you know
01:02so we can figure out how to put one of these on the ranch yeah right good idea i know what your
01:08father is doing i have seen that look a thousand times he's taking it all in getting the lay of the

02:55what can i do for you
02:58that's a pretty loaded question these days isn't it look i know you have beef with my um
03:05brother so if you're planning on bringing that over here please take it elsewhere it's
03:11it's been a long day
03:14i've got no problems with you good let's keep it that way but your brother
03:18brother damien on the other hand is a snake
03:25they didn't just give me the short end of the stick he took the whole damn thing away
03:34meeting with newman media sales and marketing team today it went great
03:41uh-huh everybody's on board with using the platform not just for entertainment purposes
03:46but as an educational tool as well you know positive things we could all use a lot more of
03:51don't you think it was energizing
03:55it's great
03:59adam are you listening to me
04:03i'm i'm listening okay what did i just say
04:10what is this a quiz or something no but it would be nice if you were listening to me when i'm talking
04:16i'm sorry
04:22something's bugging you what is it it's the ticking time bomb
04:28lord victor realizes i've missed his deadline to put out the hit pieces on billy abbott
04:34victor's traveling he's thousands of miles away laser focused on meeting aristotle dumal for the first
04:40time i doubt he's paying any attention to his ridiculous deadline
04:48your dad i really appreciate you and victor allowing me to tag along on the newman jet with
04:56you that was very generous well i couldn't very well turn nicholas's request down now could i
05:04take it be more well still i don't take it for granted so thank you nikki enjoy yourself
05:12oh
05:18oh look at this
05:23oh
05:24well i think whatever is inside of this is meant for you
05:35oh wait
05:40what the hell is this we'll open it up and find out and tell us what it says
05:52relax and enjoy the final leg of your journey i hope you're looking forward to the main event
06:08the sum of all human wisdom is contained in the two words wait and hope
06:25who does this guy think he is
06:30listen you have the right to feel however you feel about damien but the way i see it is you both got
06:36shafted by dumal except for he came in for a nice soft landing at the family farm
06:44we were willing to make it work for you too but damien told us you weren't interested in the job at
06:49winters i'm not looking for handouts that's not what we were offering sure it was damien convinced
06:56you guys to throw me a bone so he could sleep better at night listen i don't know where you're getting
07:00your information from but we don't i'm getting it from him nate i overheard damien talking to lily
07:08so you were eavesdropping well i'm glad i heard what i did
07:12because it's clear that whatever job there was had nothing to do with me and my skills
07:17and everything to do with damien and his guilty conscience
07:20oh thank you sometimes a job is just what you make of it well i think i can do better fine i hope
07:33it works out for you really nate that touches me really what else do you want me to say
07:44we were willing to try to make this work out for you but uh you turned it down which is your
07:50privilege other than that there's not a whole lot more left to say except good luck and i mean that
07:57for whatever it's worth you and damien both got screwed by dumal and i can relate to that because
08:04i've been there myself so go ahead and conquer the world show us all what we're missing
08:11that's exactly what i plan on doing i'll be just fine by myself i have always been a survivor
08:26sitting back and assuming that victor's gonna be all out of sight out of mind about this it's a
08:33mistake he won't forget about the deadline victor never forgets about anything
08:38it just all feels so petty well not to him billy abbott is the target and he's not going to be
08:49satisfied until we bury him in the press man i wouldn't be surprised if his alarm to go off to
08:54make sure that the smear campaign has hit the internet well he hasn't called us in a rage yet
08:59at something yeah well like you said he has been traveling isn't there anything else we can do
09:08another diversion some scandal to get him to draw his fire well i thought that all this drama with
09:15dumal would be enough to divert his attention i even suggested it to him but he shot it down
09:21so unless some new juicy scandal falls into our laps i am fresh out of ideas you
09:32i know you're disappointed because your plan to bribe him did not work out
09:37i really thought i was onto something give him demar's real name and get him to call off the dogs
09:42against billy well except you didn't know who demar really was and dad saw right through it yep
09:48i guess my con artist skills are getting a little rusty it was a nice try you know guessing that
09:54dumal was tucker mccall it was a good guess yeah i mean who knew that tucker is locked away in a jail
10:00somewhere in india victor knew of course victor knew because he's always 10 steps ahead of everybody
10:11do you think that he was bluffing that he knows the real identity of dumal
10:14i don't know but this is victor we're talking about so whenever he does find out who this guy
10:21is he is going to do a deep dive into all of his weaknesses into all of his vulnerabilities
10:27it almost would be worth going just to see a a championship fight between two evenly matched
10:34opponents do you think victor would admit that anybody's a match for him
10:37admit it absolutely not
10:49what do you think the last part of that note means wait and hope i think it's a quote from
10:57alexander demar's count of monte cristo
11:01well now i'm wondering if it's safe to eat and drink here well i doubt seriously you wouldn't
11:12invite us halfway around the world to poison us agreed the food is fine is it yes
11:21oh sharon i'm so sorry i that was a really bad joke very thoughtless of me that's all right nikki i know
11:32you didn't mean it but i was recently poisoned by two mystery men and it almost killed me but i've been
11:42so caught up in the elegance of all this i almost forgot there is another mystery man out there
11:50we know absolutely nothing about after what you've been through everyone understands why you would be
11:56on edge well if it's all the same i think that i will pass on the champagne and caviar for now
12:05since i don't know who i'm dealing with and if we're all being honest neither does anyone else
12:19i don't know if this means anything but damien did feel terrible about how it all went down with
12:28dumas it doesn't mean a damn thing
12:33just thought i'd make that point you're his brother of course you're gonna defend him
12:37i'm not defending anybody but the guy you should be angry with is dumas he's the one who thought so
12:44little of you that he had his assistant fired damien over the phone and then made him fire you
12:51dumas wasn't my best friend damien was or at least i thought he was up until a few days ago
12:59i'm sorry i just didn't see him for who he really was a lot sooner it's on me
13:09suit yourself oh i am trust me from now on it's gonna be all about what's good for me
13:17and my future can't argue with that from what audrey tells me you're a pretty smart guy
13:24who knows this could turn out to be the best thing that's ever happened to you
13:27weren't you towards your own thing you mean so i could thank damien for this someday maybe who knows
13:38to hell with him i'm actually more interested in hearing about what else audrey had to say about me
13:45did i say there was anything else come on man she had to at least tell you a few things about our
13:51adventures in la or maybe not that would be like godra to hold a little something back
14:05i suppose we're all entitled to our secrets right
14:08maybe it is possible what's possible that when my father and dumas lock horns which is inevitable
14:24he might forget about billy abbott for five minutes for that long
14:29you know it depends how it all plays out between them you know
14:34what what's so funny i just was thinking aristotle dumas might regret coming out of the shadows for
14:45this one he's not gonna know what hit him i don't know this guy's gone to a lot of trouble to remain
14:51anonymous i'm sure he has the best laid plans for his big reveal and i'm sure he's tried to anticipate
14:57anything victor has to throw at him he couldn't even possibly know that so it makes victor victor
15:06the element of surprise that and the absolute belief between any fight between corporate warriors
15:14there can only be one top dog and that's him so aristotle dumas or whoever he is is gonna feel
15:22what it's like to be in victor newman's sights and my money will always be on pop
15:32what you still really admire him don't you
15:40yes there's a part of me that admires him
15:43i mean he is the best look at everything the man has built and torn down when it suited him yeah
15:54he does that too
15:59you know what i wish what's that i wish we could spend the next few days forgetting about all of it
16:06victor billy dumas and just focus on running our company the way we want to run it the way
16:13it should be run it sounds nice yeah okay so so why can't we just do it
16:21because at the end of the day it's still victor's playground he makes the rules and he calls the shots
16:31and the last shot that he called was for billy avid to go down
16:34back to that again i'm afraid so can't we think of anything else to explain this delayed deadline
16:47other than a publishing glitch yeah other than that something that could delay it longer i mean we're
16:54smart people we can think of something we would just be delaying the inevitable hell when victor gets back
17:03he wants what he wants chelsea and the man usually gets it
17:11sharon it's all right mickey it just took me back there for a minute
17:16the food is fine i'm sorry sharon you don't need to apologize what you went through would freak anyone
17:26out but i'm here to make sure everyone's gonna be okay you want some coffee actually the champagne
17:33sounds nice i like it champagne it is by the way when are the other guests supposed to arrive
17:41who are the other guests is it all just genoa city families or has juma i'll open this party up to the
17:50whole world no his focus is on families from genoa city what makes you say that just a hunch
18:04what i can't figure out is how this guy seemingly made all this money out of nowhere no news about it
18:10no build up just bam and now he's got this massive french chateau a private train on his property
18:17one that would rival the orient express how does that happen it could have happened illegally
18:25for all we know juma could be a master criminal or maybe it was family money inherited that would make
18:33sense none of that is the case okay why do you say that because he made us a sense
18:45in ways that you would not imagine it's the second time you've said something that indicates you might
18:51know who this is is is that true victor do you know juma's real identity
19:05audra told me everything she thought i needed to know about a past with you and that's good enough for me
19:11i guess you're not a very curious guy then are you whatever happened before audra and i started
19:21seeing each other it's her business not mine and definitely not yours anymore so why do you keep
19:28running up on me bringing this up i'm not trying to start anything oh sure you are this isn't the first
19:36time you tried to take this trip down memory lane with me trying to insinuate something i don't
19:42know what it is but it's tired man it's getting old we've all had other relationships so what
19:52first of all i'm not trying to insinuate and so you keep saying well the only reason i brought it
20:00up in the first place was to try to explain why audra and i have this bond and i don't care holden
20:07are you listening i do not care so if you feel the need to unburden yourself to someone go to
20:18someone who's paid to listen like a shrink or maybe even a bartender believe me out of it
20:25i can see i hit a nerve i apologize no you didn't hit a nerve you're just annoying
20:35so here's some friendly advice for you now that you finished your work here in genoa city and you
20:42turned down a spot at winters why don't you go back to la you've got so many fond memories there go
20:49it's millions thank you
20:59i hate that there's no way to dodge victor's wrath
21:04so do i it's the fact of our lives chelsea it's the fact of these jobs that he's given us
21:11and what a job it is ruin billy's life based on nothing but pure vengeance
21:19oh i don't think that's all it is what do you mean
21:24chelsea billy is just part of the bigger picture jack's the real target whatever my father's doing
21:33in france i'm pretty sure he wants to use dumas and ally against the abbots
21:37and in victor's mind it all starts with billy and trying to destroy his credibility yeah well
21:44which let's be honest it's not the big of a leap
21:50look i know i know you have a soft spot for him and i have my history with him but his track
21:55record speaks for itself all we would be doing is stating the facts that's not all we would be doing
22:01adam you know i'm not naive one of these stories call into question everything negative billy's ever
22:09done right especially as it relates to chancellor that's the big one that's the prize my father wants
22:17to protect at all costs for nikki so that's why he's going to notice if these stories don't hit social
22:24media and soon i know you're right so what are you gonna do go along to get along is that our only choice
22:40dad come on if you know who tomorrow is tell us
22:49hmm this way huh hey you got room for two more hey billy hi sally nick sally i didn't know you were
23:03coming you either it was kind of a last minute thing for me yeah same here victor
23:15hey nikki sally got to see you oh come on victor you're not going to say hi to your favorite ex-son-in-law
23:23hey billy boy so what do you think what's the mysterious aristotle ma have planned for us all
23:34the only thing that will be revealed in the next few days is what an incompetent ass you are
23:43and that you're only here because you're being used
23:45i do my dad come on it's a long trip let's keep our cool oh it's okay nick i can handle whatever
23:53your father throws at me besides i think he's the one
24:01oh caviar hello
24:12uh that's a good one name that's that's pretty good i'm gonna have to remember that one oh what's
24:19that you telling me to get out of this town you know some people might interpret that as you're being
24:30more bothered by my connection than you're letting go on on the contrary i couldn't care less about
24:36i'll just pass with you as i've explained to you ad nauseam but you'd like me out of the way just in
24:43case in case of what holden do you have any job prospects in genoa city other than the one we
24:51offered you and that you turned down i haven't started looking at oh it seems to me you'd have more
25:00contacts in la i like it here why because the people are just so damn friendly
25:13look i'll level with you man i didn't think it was a great idea for lily to offer you a job at winters
25:20i think you're the type that likes to stir up trouble and that's the last thing we need right now
25:25but i decided to go along with it for damien for damien that's right because whether you choose to
25:32believe him or not damien does feel responsible about what went down with dumas but since you're
25:39telling me your friendship with damien is over it is then i have to wonder since you and damien had
25:46that falling out and audra's made it clear she's not interested in rekindling anything from her past with
25:53you what's really keeping you here maybe it's the universe sending you a message and that message
26:02is showing you a new path and that path leads you straight out of genoa city
26:10what are you thinking about i'm thinking about scandals and how we could fake one to divert my
26:31father's attention i've been trying to think about that too any luck nope not yet me neither
26:44everything i'm come up with is either too over the top or it's something that
26:47he would see through right away i hate that your father puts you in this position
26:55it's all part of being a real newman i suppose
27:03so you're gonna do it you really feel like you have to go after billy now tonight i mean
27:10she'll see there's gonna be hell to pay if i don't think about the payment if you do
27:16i'm thinking about connor yes i have thought about that too he likes billy
27:25i know it bugs you to hear it but billy was very kind to him during some of our darkest times
27:31and our son is old enough and smart enough to understand if this hit piece comes out we're behind it
27:38so if that happens we're gonna have to deal with it as a family it doesn't bug me that billy feels
27:44close to connor i appreciate that he was there for him when connor needed the support
27:51okay it makes you dislike him just a little bit less a little bit so
28:01i have to ask you one more time what are we going to do about this
28:04what are we going to do about this um say something
28:16we're not going to do anything we are not going to publish any articles do you mean ma
28:25victor's going to be mad it's going to be a raging volcano but i will deal with the fallout
28:30whatever it is i can't tell you how much that means to me
28:40it feels good to meet you
28:46nikki if you don't mind me asking how's cole doing better he's seeing a specialist in chicago victoria
28:54and claire went with him hmm yeah victoria told me that uh she got a sitter for johnny and katie
29:01i'm happy she got some time to go away be with him yeah she's keeping an eye on newman enterprises
29:09while you're gone which makes me wonder who's minding your pitiful new endeavor whatever it's called
29:16it's called avid communications and we're going to be the talk of the media industry very soon i'll be there
29:27oh it sounds like we're about to start moving oh yeah not everyone's here yet
29:33are you disappointed phyllis didn't make the train are you okay i'm thinking this thing's gonna go up
29:44and down the mountain a few times as more guests arrive well maybe we should uh buckle up could be a
29:50bumpy ride what do you say victor are you ready to head into the lair of aristotle demont
29:56are you you know i'm really not such a bad guy let's get to know me as damien or audra
30:17okay i deserve that i did push the conversation toward her and our past
30:24and i was wrong that's on me i'd be annoyed too but the beauty of our little talk is we've arrived
30:33at a solution to your problems a way to move on to bigger and better things back to la back to la
30:45it's nice of you to be so helpful i guess it's the doctor in me you know i like to help people fix
30:51things if i can well your arguments it does make a lot of sense nate most of my business is out of la
31:00i do also have a lot of friends contacts there you go the thing is i meant what i said before
31:09i've really going to like this place so if it's all the same to you
31:19i think i'm gonna stick around here for a while
31:25better check that nate
31:29see what our friend wants
31:30thank you
31:41hey it's still kind of in shock
31:46what that i would end up doing the right thing no what not like that i just know how much pressure
31:53victor put on you i'm not gonna lie i thought that ultimately you would do what he wanted and
31:59attack billy despite my objections i know you did and i appreciate you
32:08being willing to let me off the hook if i did decide to go in that direction
32:11well i understood the position you were in well the position he put you in and i don't know i i didn't
32:18want to be
32:18like victor one of them is enough
32:27you both know there was a time not too long ago where i would have caved to victor's demands
32:31and not giving it a second thought
32:36but i don't make those mistakes anymore not when it involves connor and you
32:43my family
32:43i won't we have to last this time and if that means dealing with victor's wrath then so be it
32:52i'm really happy to hear you say that i've waited years to hear you say that and mean it
33:04i don't know how many chances a person's supposed to get in this life
33:17but i've gotten my share and i've i've managed to screw up every single one of them
33:25never again okay never again
33:29who says i have fallen back in love with you chelsea and i see you as a miracle
33:40as a gift that i do not deserve but i have gotten anyway
33:46and i would be a complete fool to jeopardize what we have now
33:49it's not gonna happen not for anything
33:59i know what demas strategy is well you'd be the first what is it divide and conquer
34:07i don't understand how he doesn't bring us all up the mountain at once
34:12he staggers the arrivals of the guests so they can't compare notes
34:16well it was never going to be all for one and one for all was it that's a uh quote from three
34:21musketeers in case you're wondering we weren't no thought it was appropriate giving the occasion
34:29because you have never taken anything seriously in your life have you believe me that's not true
34:32victor i take you very serious i know exactly what you're all about this is delicious champagne
34:38one thing i'll say about dumont he's got excellent taste i suggest you have some more
34:42maybe he's all fattening us up for the slaughter that sounded a little paranoid are you getting
34:50nervous you know billy boy the only nerves i feel around here are yours you seem to be babbling on
34:58about nonsense right why because you know deep down you know you're in over your head aren't you
35:07not actually i think you're the one with anything to lose here since aristotle's gonna go after
35:14chancellor industries the company you stole you mean the company we said you know billy boy
35:22problem is you have nothing to offer so demand do you well if that was the case why did you call
35:29me in the first place because i think he wants to amuse himself with your presence
35:33oh you would know wouldn't you victor no more were you just about to tell us who demar really is
35:44you know
36:03thanks thanks what was that for i've fallen back in love with you too adam
36:15who would have thought
36:18it may have taken us a while but i think i think we finally figured it out this time
36:23thank god we did thank god we did i love you
36:32i love you too
36:44i take it audrey made it to paris okay how did you know she was going to paris
37:06we we had drinks the other night she told me all about going over to
37:09we do more at his mountaintop domain did she really tell you that holden or were you eavesdropping
37:18again why would i lie i don't know man i don't know why you do a lot of the things you do buddy
37:27but um here's some advice and it's not so friendly this time
37:38if you do decide to stick around genoa city stay out of our lives you got that
37:53i don't know if you don't know if you don't know if you don't know if you know who demar is please
38:00enlighten us yes the suspense is killing us oh wait a minute i never acknowledged
38:06sharon's suspicion that i knew a man's identity you're bluffing
38:12this is not one of your cheap poker games bunny boy once i agree with you stakes are a hell of a lot higher
38:18let me put it this way all of you wherever this journey takes us at the end of it we will all
38:32meet aristotle duo that means you do know dad come on just tell us this much
38:43will it surprise us or upset us will it surprise us or upset us
38:53i'm home
