00:00Victor, you know, I was wondering who would be the first to suspect I was your host.
00:12Amina, Cain Ashby, a.k.a. Aristotle Dumas.
00:20Why the hell did you ask us all to come down here?
00:23Why do this? Why invite us all here and lure us all here to meet someone we already know?
00:31Is that why Lily was screaming for help there? Did she have a heart attack with this big reveal?
00:36She's perfectly fine. She just got turned around a bit in the foliage.
00:38Yeah, and you did that, Cain.
00:40I promise you, she's fine.
00:41How are we supposed to know that? Trust you?
00:43You have my word.
00:44You can drop the pretense of this being a pleasant gathering.
00:47I imagine some of you are feeling a bit blindsided.
00:50But if you think about it, nothing's changed.
00:53I invited you for a wonderful visit to the Riviera and to meet the man calling himself Aristotle Dumas.
01:00Seriously, it's been exhausting.
01:03And it feels good to be done with it.
01:05Oh, you're exhausted?
01:07Sorry. I mean, it's been great for us.
01:09Well, there were reasons at the start to keep my two paths separate as Cain Ashby and as Aristotle Dumas.
01:16But over the last year, well, I've decided to retire Dumas and come back to Genoa City as Cain Ashby.
01:26You could have done that any other way.
01:29Why all this time, expense, and the drama?
01:32Ken, you want to answer some questions?
01:33Why don't you start with this one, okay?
01:35What the hell is going on here?
01:36What is this about?
01:37Yeah, I want to know, too.
01:40No more secrets and no more games.
01:43What is this about?
02:07How many of you have inspired me over the years?
02:27I've learned from you.
02:29I've worked with you.
02:31Admired you.
02:32Well, this is my way of thanking you.
02:37Throw you a big old party and treat you to some of the luxuries that you've shown others over the years.
02:43My only agenda is to show you a good time.
02:45Well, you know what?
02:46You failed.
02:47Because we're not enjoying this.
02:48Yeah, you could have signed your real name on the invitations.
02:52Throwing your party closer to home.
02:53You're new to our town.
02:56But as gorgeous as it is, it doesn't have a view of the Mediterranean.
03:01And fine.
03:03Okay, maybe I was afraid of the responses.
03:04There's nothing worse than a party where no one shows up.
03:07Of course, that's what you're worried about.
03:09I've let a lot of people down.
03:13More than once.
03:15And if it weren't for the bad blood, a simple lack of interest might have kept people home.
03:19This was all fascinating, but can we expect more surprises?
03:23No, thank you.
03:25Just tell us what else you have planned.
03:27I look forward to speaking with each of you.
03:30One-on-one.
03:31So we're supposed to book an appointment during this vacation?
03:35There'll be plenty of time for sun, good food, and organic conversation.
03:40It is truly my pleasure to be your host.
03:46And my team will do everything they can to make your time here absolutely unforgettable.
03:51I have to go.
03:55You're a real piece of work, man.
03:57This whole thing was a stupid idea.
04:01Hold it right there, please.
04:05I want to speak with you now.
04:08There'll be plenty of time for that, Victor.
04:10Now.
04:10You follow me now.
04:21You'll find a feast of local delicacies in the dining area by the maze garden.
04:26Meanwhile, I'm going to take a moment with Victor.
04:31Wow.
04:32What a bizarre evening.
04:34You're telling me.
04:35Well, I've got to say I didn't have Cain Ashby on my bingo card.
04:38And nor did I.
04:39Okay.
04:41So I get it.
04:42I get why Lily got to meet with him first.
04:45Why didn't she tell me?
04:46And to find my boss, not even for you.
04:49Your boss is Cain Ashby.
04:52I'm not some billionaire businessman.
04:55If that is your takeaway, you are not paying attention.
04:59So you know him?
05:02And respect him a lot?
05:04I respect him a lot.
05:06And I've seen the company books, so.
05:08Oh, yeah.
05:10All right.
05:13So what's next?
05:16What's Cain's master plan?
05:18What's he planning to reveal?
05:20Turns out our host is easy on the ice.
05:25Not at all like you predicted.
05:26Why does a guy go to all that trouble to hide his face in real name?
05:30He's got to be afraid of something.
05:35Afraid or strategic?
05:37How well do you know him?
05:39He worked for Dubow.
05:41He was no mogul then.
05:43Huh.
05:44This is a new level for him then?
05:47Oh, it's a whole new universe.
05:49That's why people were so surprised.
05:52No one saw this coming.
05:54Yeah, I doubt anyone other than Lily ever thought about him.
05:57Well, everyone is certainly thinking about him now.
06:01You had no idea.
06:04No, we don't have a family group chat.
06:07Wait, family?
06:08This isn't the first time Cain did this fake name, all of it.
06:12Same thing when he came back as my long-lost half-brother, Jill's son.
06:16That's insane.
06:17What's more insane is my mother adores him for whatever reason.
06:20We're not blood, but there's definitely sibling rivalry.
06:26Cain Ashby.
06:28Amanda's had all of Genoa City in a tizzy.
06:33How did Dad figure it out?
06:35Well, your father is always ten steps ahead.
06:38But he has been simmering ever since we got here.
06:42But I don't envy Cain now.
06:45First, can I get you something to drink?
06:53No, thank you.
06:54I stocked your signature tequila.
06:56Yeah, I saw that.
06:58Good stuff.
06:59And I hope you, Nick, are finding your accommodations comfortable.
07:02I thought the guests would enjoy their sleeping cars on the train.
07:05Touch of that old European romance to enhance the mood.
07:09Have a seat.
07:09Your chateau is wonderful.
07:13There's just something about the intimacy of a train.
07:18Proximity to the garden.
07:20Defies expectations.
07:21Creates a sense of wonder.
07:24Stop the ball.
07:27What do you want from me and my family?
07:29God, I knew we shouldn't have come.
07:35I knew it.
07:37I mean, this whole thing, this whole production is a nightmare.
07:42God, it's Cain.
07:43It's Cain.
07:45The person that we've been talking about for months is Cain.
07:48And I had no idea.
07:49Yeah.
07:50He covered his tracks.
07:52He lied.
07:53He lied to us.
07:54He lied to everybody.
07:55I mean, we were worried about this takeover from him.
08:00It's like, is that what he wanted?
08:01So that he could feel like some kind of, like, big man?
08:04Well, you remember he did seem to Manda to reassure us.
08:07Yeah, which made us more anxious.
08:10Oh, my God.
08:11You know what's worse?
08:13You know what's like?
08:14We were married in France.
08:16We were married here.
08:18And he leads me here under false pretenses.
08:21You know, he actually made it seem like he was doing me a favor.
08:25By telling me first.
08:27So that I wasn't blindsided in front of everybody.
08:30Well, looks like no one could have expected any of this, right?
08:34Oh, well, Victor did.
08:36Victor knew.
08:37So he led us into an ambush again.
08:41God, if I had known.
08:42If I had had any idea.
08:45If Cain had signed his name, would you still come here?
08:49No, of course not.
08:50Not even to know for sure if he had really become this tycoon?
08:54A tycoon.
08:55I mean, how in the world did Cain pull this off?
09:04I mean, Amanda told me I was going to meet Mr. Dumas, and I still expected to see your dad.
09:10Yeah, part of me did too, actually.
09:12It just seemed like something Tucker would do.
09:15You know, using an alias and having everyone watching their backs.
09:19But instead, it's Cain.
09:21Was he always this wealthy?
09:24No.
09:25Nothing close to this.
09:27Yeah, but he did work in the corporate world, right?
09:30I mean, the man that I dealt with, he knew his stuff.
09:33Yeah, well, how do you know it was even him?
09:35You never met him face to face.
09:37No.
09:38Over email, it's impossible to tell.
09:41But I knew that voice the second Cain opened his mouth.
09:45Well, Cain did have experience in the corporate world when he worked for Chancellor.
09:49Yeah, and Jabot and Fenmore's.
09:52But he never ran his own company.
09:55He never showed this single-minded ambition.
09:59Remember when he bought that bar?
10:01Yeah.
10:01Okay, then.
10:02I don't understand all this wealth.
10:04It makes more sense when you know that his dad was a crime boss in Australia, and he was
10:10raised surrounded by thieves and con artists.
10:13Yeah, his dad tried to steal Devon's inheritance.
10:18He did steal it.
10:18And that's the first time Amanda came to town.
10:21She was hired by Colin.
10:22Didn't even know it at the time.
10:24Okay.
10:26Now it's starting to add up.
10:29Looks like Cain learned at his daddy's knee.
10:32Like father, like son.
10:34Well, I mean, I'm not making excuses for Cain, but if there was one thing he wanted, it
10:39was to be nothing like his father.
10:41Yeah, but six years can sure change somebody.
10:43Look at him now, and look at how much money he has.
10:47Maybe he figured his dad had the right idea, and this is just another money laundering scheme
10:51for Colin, like with my money.
10:53Well, I mean, money Cain did get back for you.
10:56So it's like, where did this wealth come from?
11:00The kids never said anything.
11:02No, I'm sure if they knew or had an idea, I would have heard something.
11:06And he never said anything over the years?
11:09No.
11:09I mean, every time we talked, it was about the kids.
11:13You know, it was graduations and birthdays.
11:15And even then, we kept it short.
11:20I thought that you two were on good terms.
11:23Yeah, I mean, we were in the beginning, and, you know, then we weren't.
11:32You never said anything.
11:33Well, yeah, Devon, what am I, what am I supposed to say?
11:38That I lost respect for the father of my children?
11:44Or that this person that I loved, I didn't even want to know?
11:49So, Jill treated Cain as a son?
11:55And Catherine Chancellor loved him.
11:57I mean, loved him.
11:58Both women could burn with white-hot hatred and still be forgiving.
12:03And my mother would pit us against each other.
12:05Well, no, I don't think Jill ever intended that.
12:08Oh, give me a break.
12:09Jack, she did.
12:10There's no, there's no question she did.
12:12No, wait, Cain was loyal.
12:14Cain was a screw-up.
12:16Okay, you want to forget all the times that the two of you weren't at odds, that's fine.
12:20I remember.
12:21Yeah, well, it doesn't ring a bell to me.
12:22Billy, I thought you just spoke with him.
12:24I did.
12:26Literally had a conversation with him.
12:28And maybe I should have recognized the voice, but out of sight, out of mind, I didn't put it together.
12:31I didn't connect it to this.
12:34Okay, well, he is connected.
12:37So what, what does that mean for us now?
12:42I barely knew the guy.
12:43I mean, not in any personal way.
12:45He was married to Lily.
12:46They had twins.
12:47Right, right.
12:48I do remember her mentioning some kids.
12:50No wonder she bolted.
12:52She had no clue.
12:53Good way to piss off an ex.
12:55Oh, and there's Billy's mother.
12:57Jill Abbott, who sold the company out from under him.
13:00She was married to James Wilder for a while.
13:03That is messy.
13:04The only way it gets messier.
13:06The guy is a con man and a crime boss.
13:10Interesting.
13:12So, like father, like son.
13:14Hmm.
13:18I am not going to tell you about Cain's plans because I can't.
13:27You can't because you signed an NDA, or you can't because he's keeping you in the dark.
13:31Which would be so stupid because he's missing out on your excellent advice.
13:36Phyllis, what are you doing?
13:36Are you trying to goat me into blurting out, oh, I know everything?
13:40You know, a blurt would be nice right now.
13:44Go to dinner, Phyllis.
13:48So, what's the deal?
13:52He's going back to Genoa City?
13:53I mean, if that's the case, I'm sure he has huge plans.
13:58Amanda, I need to get in on this.
13:59I need to be in on the ground floor.
14:01Now, you brought us here and put on this big show.
14:07You know that I suspected your real identity?
14:15Yeah, I figured.
14:18And, uh, no one else would have been able to put it together.
14:23Victor, half the other guests probably forgot I even existed.
14:26Not you, though.
14:27Feels like a good sign.
14:29Uh-huh.
14:31But I think this is enough talk for one night.
14:33Why don't we discuss specifics?
14:34No, no, we're going to discuss it now.
14:37Because my family and I are on the way back home.
14:39I wish you weren't.
14:40Let's get to the point.
14:43There's a lot more excitement to come, Victor.
14:45Really?
14:47You know, Cain, this reminds me of your father, Colin.
14:52He would put up something like this.
14:55Put on a show.
14:57B.S. to everyone.
14:59How is he, by the way?
15:00Is he behind bars?
15:04My father actually died six months ago.
15:10I was with him.
15:13In the end.
15:18You know, I'm sorry about your dad.
15:24You know, I, um...
15:26I haven't really told anybody.
15:31Maybe I didn't, uh, I didn't want to hear how the world was better off.
15:36But he wasn't the man they knew.
15:38Not in the end.
15:38We made peace, and I am very grateful for that.
15:42Well, almost the caucus of my heart, you know?
15:45Make peace with their dad.
15:47How nice is that?
15:48So he built this company...
15:50Oh, wait a minute.
15:50This was six months ago.
15:52So he was privy to your...
15:56...time to power.
15:58I couldn't have done it without him.
16:01Yeah.
16:02I bet you it's a company of an empire based on theft and grift and dishonesty, right?
16:10You'd be wrong.
16:11So how many people did you stiff?
16:14I bet you they were simply stuff that came after your dad, right?
16:19None.
16:19Not this time.
16:22Arabesque is legitimate from top to bottom.
16:23Oh.
16:23That's the way he wanted it.
16:25Wow.
16:28That's why you changed your name, right?
16:30The Aristotle, Dumas.
16:33So that the people you stiffed, building your so-called empire,
16:37came after Dumas.
16:39But he doesn't exist.
16:42They're after you, aren't they?
16:43That's what you're worried about, right?
16:50When you said that you and Cain didn't talk as much,
16:52I figured it was just because the kids were older
16:55and you didn't need to coordinate visitation or anything like that.
16:58But I thought you guys were at least civil.
17:00Well, we were.
17:03Until he crossed a line I couldn't forgive.
17:06What kind of line?
17:07This wasn't small.
17:09Not to me.
17:13Do you want to tell me what happened or
17:15did he do something to you?
17:21We just, we all went to L.A. to go see Maddie.
17:26And my daughter had a personal crisis at school.
17:31And so we went there and got her to feel good again.
17:36She was stable emotionally.
17:37And so she went back north, up north.
17:40And Cain and I had coffee.
17:46Maddie seems good.
17:49Yeah, she's thriving even.
17:52Of course, you get the credit for that.
17:54You, uh, you got her through a really tough time.
17:57Well, I mean, she's also really strong.
18:00Yeah, just like her mother.
18:03Yeah.
18:03Well, I'm just, um, I'm happy that she knows that she can count on me.
18:08That's important.
18:09To, uh, to have a parent that you can trust.
18:12Yeah, well, you know, kids deserve that, right?
18:15Look, I've been, um, I, uh, I wanted to talk to you about something.
18:31I've reconnected with Colin.
18:32It's been a little while now.
18:43I mean, he's really turned his life around, Lily.
18:46You know, he and I were in a, we're in a good place.
18:49He's even helping me with some business dealings.
18:50Business dealings?
18:54Like what?
18:55How to steal people's fortunes?
18:57Like my brother?
18:59He pinned that on you.
18:59Did you forget that?
19:00No, I, I didn't forget that.
19:02That, that's why I went after him.
19:05I don't, I don't want to excuse him for anything that he did, Lily.
19:07Good, because he destroyed your family and he hurt people that I love.
19:12Which he regrets.
19:15Well, I mean, I'm sure he told his parole board that.
19:17Doesn't mean that it's true.
19:18Look, he's sick, okay?
19:27And the doctors can't say how much time he has left.
19:31And it's changed him.
19:33Which changed me, and I would really like to be able to make the most of the time he has left, okay?
19:40I guess when you're worried about burning in hell, you'll say all the right things.
19:44It's just something felt off to me.
19:49Like what?
19:52I don't know, it just, it, it, it wasn't him.
19:55You know, it felt forced.
19:57And it's like the more he spoke, the more uncomfortable I got.
20:03And there was just this part of me that knew that it was going to get even worse.
20:08Cain Ashby, seriously.
20:12Cain Ashby.
20:14What's your take?
20:15What's your take?
20:17You first.
20:19But you made me first.
20:21Well, I know you came here on a mission, so what's next?
20:24Well, I'm still on a mission.
20:27And I have a plan, especially now that I know the guy.
20:31That is exactly why people want to go in the other direction.
20:35They know the guy.
20:37Yeah, but I'm okay with him.
20:40Really?
20:41Yeah.
20:41I don't remember you two being super tight.
20:45Well, we weren't super tight.
20:47We weren't enemies.
20:49That's good.
20:51I respect someone who wants to reinvent themselves.
20:54So, what is the game plan?
20:59I don't know.
21:02I'm flexible.
21:04So, no plan?
21:06No, you know me better than that.
21:08Yeah, I really do.
21:11I wish Amanda was more forthcoming.
21:15Not the guy who's signing her checks.
21:17Yeah.
21:19Well, I just have to find someone who's not on his payroll.
21:22Don't look at me.
21:26You haven't had any dealings with Kane this whole time?
21:30No reason to.
21:33Well, he's still the same guy.
21:35With a different name and a different net worth.
21:40Yeah, I don't know.
21:42He came up so fast.
21:45Something must have changed.
21:48Question is, how much?
21:49I mean, this is so bizarre.
21:53We're all here to meet a man that most of you already know.
21:56He even tried to lure his ex-wife.
21:58Why?
21:59I mean, just to throw a party and say, hey, surprise, it's me.
22:02I mean, does that make sense?
22:03To go through all this effort just to be friendly?
22:05No.
22:05No one would go to all this trouble if there wasn't more to it.
22:08These particular people?
22:10All this fuss?
22:11The fuss is the point.
22:13The question is, why?
22:14It's Chancellor.
22:16He ran it before Jill, and now he wants it for himself.
22:18I wish it were that simple.
22:20I suspect Chancellor is just the tip of the iceberg.
22:23Don't hold out on me, Kyle.
22:35You have to know more about Kane Ashby.
22:39For the sake of our competition.
22:42Is that what it is?
22:43Or do you maybe want to know if he's single?
22:46How dare you?
22:47I'm very happy with Nate.
22:50So it didn't even cross your mind?
22:52Why would I care about the man's relationship status?
22:55It's none of my business.
22:58But...
22:58Of course.
23:01But...
23:02Any and all information that may give a lead in our friendly competition is very welcome.
23:10Don't go getting jealous on me, Kyle.
23:17Now we have a name, and things get even weirder.
23:20Come on.
23:21It's Kane.
23:22Kane is a billionaire now, with an axe to grind, or maybe several.
23:27Against every company that's represented here.
23:29That's the only thing that makes sense.
23:30There are too many people here with no connection to Chancellor.
23:33Yeah, but he did reach out to you about Chancellor specifically, right?
23:36Yeah.
23:37And then he left me hanging.
23:39Well, a stranger might do that, but...
23:41You said he's family?
23:43Family-ish.
23:45There's caveats.
23:46Okay, well, what is he doing?
23:48Are they taunting you?
23:49Saying you can recognize his voice?
23:51I don't know.
23:52I don't know.
23:52Maybe he's trying to get in my head.
23:53Maybe he's trying to see how I feel about Jill.
23:55Either way, it's all BS, because we worked together in the past, and I don't see that happening again.
24:00You think Jill knows?
24:01About Kane?
24:04I don't know.
24:05She's as savvy as they come.
24:07Think he went to her for advice?
24:08Would she keep his secret for him?
24:10My gut instinct is that she would throw it in my face any opportunity she has.
24:15But then again, I haven't talked to her very much lately, so I don't know.
24:19Well, you'll have the chance to ask him when he honors us with his private conversations.
24:28What is it?
24:32It's Catherine's will.
24:34Well, the mustache would happily tell you she left Chancellor to him.
24:39Yeah, but she also wanted Kane to run it.
24:42So that, along with his connection to Jill, maybe he feels like he deserves it after all.
24:47So all of this is about Chancellor?
24:54Chancellor?
24:55Did someone mention Chancellor?
25:00Look, I don't pretend to know anything about the man who fired me, but...
25:05You wouldn't have loved him if he was anything like his father's house.
25:09No, I mean, Kane...
25:12Kane isn't like Colin.
25:15You know, yes, he had secrets.
25:18I mean, I didn't realize how many.
25:20They kind of came out over time.
25:22But Kane and I married, he was loving and attentive and protective.
25:34Yeah, he always did put Lily first.
25:36No one could argue that.
25:38Yeah, I mean, I think back then, Kane was running away from his past and his family.
25:43You know, he wanted to do the right things for the right reasons.
25:48Even when he lied about being Jill's son, it was for the sake of friendship.
25:54You know, it wasn't a money-making scam.
25:58It was good.
25:59Like, we were good.
26:01For a while.
26:03Yeah, but you got a divorce for a reason.
26:09Well, I mean...
26:11Just things went wrong, and...
26:15There was just no going back.
26:17You share kids with someone, though.
26:19It's hard to cut ties.
26:20Yeah, I mean, when we did talk, it was about the kids.
26:23Or when we got together, the kids were there.
26:26And there was one time we did talk alone, and...
26:32It just didn't go well.
26:36Why is this still an issue, Kane?
26:39I just...
26:40I'm never going to be okay with the kids seeing Colin.
26:44What you think matters to them.
26:47They're not going to see him unless they know that you approve.
26:49What are you...
26:50What are you picturing?
26:52Like, them sitting down around the table hearing about Colin's crimes?
26:57Or how he planned to have them kidnapped when they were babies?
27:00Or maybe they'll understand that a sick old man has changed.
27:04Even if you can't.
27:06Okay, you know what?
27:07That's not fair.
27:08I gave him the benefit of the doubt very early on.
27:11You tolerated him.
27:13Yeah, until he tried to steal Devon's money.
27:16That's unforgivable.
27:17Look, Kane, I'm sorry.
27:20I'm confused.
27:22I mean, you used to always know who and what your father is.
27:26That level of viciousness doesn't just go away.
27:30All he has left is regrets, Lily.
27:34Okay, and I want the kids to know him because he's important to me.
27:37Okay, great.
27:38Then you go be with him.
27:40I am.
27:41Because people deserve forgiveness.
27:45Okay, are you...
27:46Are you talking about yourself or are you talking about Colin?
27:50I'm talking about everybody.
27:52Okay, well, you know that forgiveness is earned, right?
27:55You don't just get it because you want it.
27:57He's helped me.
27:58He's supported me.
27:59And I'm grateful for that.
28:01Then great.
28:02I am happy that you can go be with him.
28:04But please do not drag the kids into this.
28:08What is that supposed to mean?
28:11I don't want to see you again, Kane.
28:14Okay, Lily.
28:15It's like all I could think was how had he not learned anything over these years?
28:30You know, to forgive his father, to trust the kids with him.
28:36It's like, after what he did to him, to you, to us, it's like I actually pitied Kane for being so gullible.
28:46And the whole time, he was building an empire as Aristotle Dumas.
28:53I mean, how is that even possible?
28:55You know, I understand why you would be skeptical about my father.
29:04I know he caused a lot of pain.
29:07While breaking a lot of laws.
29:11He found out he was ill six years ago.
29:14Oh, yeah.
29:17And then what, he repented and asked for forgiveness?
29:21Yeah, minus the sarcasm.
29:23Yeah.
29:24He wanted to make things right.
29:25Well, how did he do that?
29:29Well, we became a team.
29:31All above board, all honest.
29:34He'd save money over the years.
29:37Money he swindled people out of, right?
29:39No.
29:40All that money was given back or taken away.
29:43Really?
29:43But the land that he owned, he sold that.
29:47We saved the proceeds, invested it in cryptocurrency.
29:51Cryptocurrency?
29:51We didn't spend, we didn't waste, kept reinvesting.
29:54And the money grew.
29:56He got to see me get the success that he had chased all those years in all the wrong ways.
30:00Well, here you are.
30:02Here I am.
30:04But it couldn't save his life.
30:09Huh.
30:09Hello, Chancellor.
30:14Good to see you, Phyllis.
30:18This excited, isn't it?
30:20Excited or lying in wait?
30:22For what?
30:23Or who?
30:24Well, her plan was to come here and get a job from Dumas.
30:27But it's a whole new ballgame now.
30:29Because it's Kate.
30:30Yeah.
30:31I mean, her mind is going a mile a minute.
30:35Are you worried?
30:37Nah.
30:38She can take care of herself.
30:40She's fired up and raring to go.
30:42And I guess that's good.
30:44You know, it wasn't too long ago.
30:45I was concerned she wasn't going to get amped up to do anything ever again.
30:50Well, she's bouncing back.
30:52We both are.
30:53In different ways.
30:55Thank goodness.
30:56Agreed.
30:58You know, maybe she will get a job.
31:00Something she can put her energy into.
31:04Or another shoe will drop and it's just going to be more smoke and mirrors.
31:09Here's the thing.
31:10Kane has gotten everyone's attention.
31:13And my feeling is, he's going to do whatever it takes to keep it.
31:17That does sound a little like Phyllis when you put it that way.
31:21This drama and deception.
31:23She'll fit right in.
31:24It's remarkable.
31:26You are completely shameless.
31:29Eavesdropping.
31:29And then swooping in.
31:31Well, it is a party, right?
31:34That's what we do.
31:35We mingle at a party.
31:39Philly, so all those conversations you had with Dumas,
31:42you failed to mention that he was your fake brother?
31:45Yeah.
31:46Just never came up on the call, Phyllis.
31:47Okay.
31:48But he still wanted to help you yank Chancellor back, right?
31:51And then he dropped the issue and then he stopped calling me back.
31:53He was probably too busy counting his money.
31:55And that's a good thing.
31:56Habit, communications, deserves your full attention.
31:59Yes, and we are enjoying every minute of it.
32:01Oh, look at that.
32:02Every day is going to be bring your boo to work day for Billy.
32:06Okay.
32:06Excuse us.
32:17So what do you think?
32:20Do you think that Cain is after Chancellor?
32:22As if Victor would let him have it when he owns the company outright.
32:26As Jill did, things change.
32:29We can't rule anything out at this point.
32:33Oh, Jack.
32:35Those are wise, wise words.
32:41Billy, Jack's right.
32:46Pardon me?
32:47What's that?
32:48Jack's right about Abbott communications needing us.
32:52Yeah.
32:54Billy.
32:54Yeah.
32:55We got what we came for.
32:56We know who Demi is.
32:57This is our chance.
32:58We go home tomorrow to Genoa City and we break this huge story.
33:02This is how we launch Abbott communications before anyone else beats us to it.
33:09Cain and Colin, man.
33:11Dad would have lost his mind if he'd have known.
33:13Man, that says plenty right there.
33:16Even without ever meeting the man, I trust Neal's instincts.
33:18This whole thing feels more like something Colin would have put together.
33:21Like the fake name and the playing games.
33:24Well, Arist, Cain, he knew I was in Genoa City, okay?
33:29He knew I met all of you.
33:31And yet he kept stringing me along until he fired me without warning.
33:36My boss.
33:38Your ex.
33:40Did he ever mention the book, The Count of Monte Cristo?
33:45No.
33:48I mean, I guess Charlie loved the book.
33:53Cain would have known that.
33:56My God, that's what makes us even sicker.
33:59It's like, did Cain use that name as a clue in some game?
34:04Is that why he wanted the kids to be around Colin?
34:06Was he going to drag them into the mess?
34:09Or just keep his secret life hidden forever?
34:11He lied to the whole world.
34:16So why tell us now?
34:17And why like this?
34:19Right.
34:20And why have a fake name if you have nothing to hide?
34:24You're not going to tell you.
34:26My hat off to you.
34:29For you to amass this enormous fortune in such a short period of time?
34:35Oh, man.
34:35I got to admit that it's nice to hear.
34:40From you, of all people, Colin would have gotten a kick out of that.
34:45The question is, why do you want me here?
34:49We can discuss that later.
34:50No, no, let's discuss it now.
34:56I'm ready to give up the businesses under Dumas' ownership.
35:02That's where you come in.
35:09Lily, Lily, just forget them.
35:12Okay, I mean it.
35:13Forget your ex.
35:14Forget all of this.
35:15Let's just head back to General City.
35:17There's no reason to stay here at all, right?
35:20I'm with that, actually.
35:21I can get a hold of Abby and tell her not to come.
35:24We can get the hell out.
35:25Because I'm done with this guy and his manipulations.
35:29We can't go.
35:31There's nothing stopping us.
35:34No, sorry.
35:34I mean, I can't go.
35:36Not yet.
35:37Why can't you go?
35:39Because he's coming back to General City, Devon.
35:42Like, what's his plan?
35:44What about the kids?
35:45Is he going to tell them everything?
35:46Like, I can't go until I know all there is to know.
35:51And how is that going to happen?
35:54Lily, you can't stand to look at the man.
35:56Yeah, look, it's not going to be easy, but I have to for the sake of my children.
36:01I need to know everything he did in the last six years.
36:04Look, Billy, we agreed if things got messy, we would leave and go find our own chateau.
36:11This is even better.
36:13We have valuable information, and we can go home and use it.
36:16Jack and Diane can tell us anything that we miss.
36:19I mean, do you have old photos of Cain?
36:22Sure.
36:22Were you running Restless Style?
36:23One of the lies came out.
36:24Maybe you have some research about him and his father.
36:26Okay, all right.
36:26You know what?
36:27We don't have to run the story.
36:28But please, let's just get far away from here.
36:31There's something more going on.
36:35Cain's not going to want to tell me himself, but you're damn straight.
36:37I'm going to find out what it is.
36:41Pretty eventful evening, no?
36:44Oh, nobody could have predicted this.
36:46Oh, except your all-knowing husband, who never mentioned Cain's name before the big reveal, did he?
36:52Oh, he did have his suspicions.
36:54But no name.
36:56That way he could steal Cain's thunder with such dramatic flair.
37:02Jack, you're annoyed with Cain, not Victor.
37:06Why not both?
37:08And now you know why Victor did things this way, so that Cain will always know that Victor has the upper hand.
37:15But does he?
37:16I mean, will he always run the chessboard?
37:19Put everyone in their place?
37:20Do you really think that Cain could get the better of Victor?
37:27Oh, I don't know.
37:28I'd say Cain's come a pretty long way in the last six years, and we're just scratching the surface.
37:33No, if there is a war between Victor and our host, I wouldn't count Cain out just yet.
37:41So let me get this right.
37:43You want to auction off all of your properties?
37:44That's why you bought us here?
37:47No, I'm not offering this to anyone else.
37:49Only you, Victor.
37:50Why the hell would you give up all that you've built?
37:55Well, that is an excellent question.
37:58I suppose it goes back to losing my father.
38:04That's when it hits you.
38:06Mortality.
38:07What do you want to do with the rest of your time here on Earth?
38:11I've had to start over a few times in my life out of necessity, running from something.
38:17Well, this time it's different, right?
38:19Yes.
38:22No more hiding.
38:24Just a clean slate.
38:26A fresh start.
38:27For all the right reasons.
38:29Which means a new direction.
38:32New business.
38:34And in order to do that, I need to trade a giant chunk of my empire.
38:38Ideally to you.
38:40Trade?
38:41Trade?
38:41Who do you want in return?
38:46Control of Chancellor.
38:53That's funny.
38:55Ain't gonna happen.
