00:00this trip has just been one surprise after another when I kissed you goodbye who would
00:12have known this is what you were walking into you and Lily can't imagine how hard this has
00:18been on her how did I not know how bad things have gotten between her and Kane I mean she
00:24didn't talk to you about it how would you have known I know and why didn't she she knows she
00:29could talk to me about anything if she had told you that Kane had been chummy with his dad again
00:37and that he wanted their kids to have a relationship with him I would have agreed with her and said he'll
00:43know that's all you would have done what do you mean you wouldn't have tried to deal with it
00:48yourself in defense of your niece and nephew well I'm gonna deal with him myself now for my sister
00:58whatever he has planned
01:00Ellie
01:08I just came for something to drink I hope you're okay the news the way that everything came out
01:17I'm sure that it was a shock but now that you've had some time to process maybe we can yeah I'm still
01:22processing and the more that I think about it the more shocked I am including your role in all of
01:29this you knew what I was walking into and you never said anything you didn't even warn me I mean
01:37you could have warned me even weeks ago in Genoa City but all you said to me was oh you know Dumas
01:43he respects you and admires you and wants nothing to do with winters and that was all true and what
01:49that makes it okay that you never warned me that Kane was about to swoop back into my life
01:54so
01:56so
02:01so
02:04so
02:06so
02:08so
02:13You know, I thought the pool was a perfect temperature,
02:34but my God, that shower was absolutely perfect.
02:38Is this your plan to distract me so I don't realize
02:42that we're stuck here indefinitely?
02:44Is it working?
02:46A little.
02:48Till I come out of the haze and remember that we should be in Genoa City.
02:52Working.
02:54Well, then there's only one thing to do.
02:57Claw our way back to civilization no matter what it takes?
03:00No.
03:01Go back in the shower and wash away our worries.
03:08It's not going to work.
03:10I accept the challenge.
03:12I always do.
03:15Abbott Communications needs to launch.
03:17We can't do anything from here.
03:20I don't see it that way.
03:22Being here is only going to help Abbott Communications launch.
03:26As long as we play this right.
03:31Cain might not be able to get the roads clear,
03:33but I refuse to believe he can't get the cell service up and running.
03:36Mom, I can't imagine not talking to Harrison for another day
03:39or checking in with Claire to find out what Cole's doing.
03:42I know, I know.
03:43But Harrison is fine.
03:45He was so excited to go visit Summer in Italy.
03:48I'm sure he's loving every minute of it.
03:50And Claire and Victoria are there for each other.
03:53And for Cole.
03:54You know, I think they needed this time together, just the three of them.
03:58I know, you're right.
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:00This has been a strange adventure, but we are making the most of it.
04:05I have to say, I love spending a lot of time with you and your dad,
04:09and you might not feel the same way about all this family togetherness,
04:13but I have, um, noticed you're really enjoying the fine cuisine.
04:19You had to call me out.
04:21Couldn't resist.
04:22Well, what can I say?
04:23The French and I enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
04:26And I'm not the only one.
04:27Dad has been, too.
04:29Where is he, by the way?
04:31Uh, I'm not sure.
04:34And you can't text him.
04:35Mm-mm.
04:36Was this what it was like in the olden days?
04:39Oh, you didn't just say that.
04:40Take it back.
04:42So you have no idea where he might have wandered off to?
04:45No, and he left a note by the bed saying that he was going out exploring and don't worry,
04:51which, of course, means I probably should start worrying.
04:59If Dad said don't worry...
05:00He did.
05:01Things haven't exactly gone smoothly since we've gotten here.
05:05Mom, he probably went for a walk, and the grounds are huge.
05:08So, look at the bright side.
05:09If he found, I don't know, a tunnel out of here, that ski was on the way.
05:17That would be lovely.
05:19But my fear isn't that he went for a walk and got turned around again.
05:24My fear is that the note was a cover story for what he's really up to.
05:29Like what?
05:29Well, that's the question, isn't it?
05:32I mean, the whole note was kind of strange and vague.
05:35Don't worry.
05:36So, of course, that sets off alarm bells.
05:38And the timing?
05:40He couldn't wait until I woke up?
05:42No.
05:43The whole thing was designed so he wouldn't have to explain himself
05:46because he knows that whatever he's up to, I wouldn't approve.
05:50Mom.
05:50Don't tell me I'm overthinking this.
05:52Even though you already are?
05:53No, I'm right.
05:55Even if you can't see it.
05:58Kyle, this whole situation.
06:01The isolation.
06:02The sense of frustration.
06:04And then you mix it in with the sun and the food and all the drinking.
06:09And judgment just goes out the window.
06:13And anything can happen.
06:14Mom, is this about Dad doing something behind your back?
06:22Or is there something else eating at you?
06:33Trying to call home?
06:38Over and over again.
06:39You know, the last thing my mom needs right now is to stress and worry,
06:45wondering why I haven't checked in.
06:47I mean, you're a grown man vacationing in the French Riviera.
06:51Not some middle schooler who hasn't called his mom to tell him where he is after school.
06:55Okay, so, but you've met my mom, though, right?
06:58I have.
06:59Look, I'm sorry.
06:59I didn't mean to meet light.
07:01Yeah, I tell you, that woman, she can do some damage to a stress ball, so...
07:06Yeah.
07:06Nate wouldn't let her get too worked up or upset.
07:08Hey, no matter what.
07:10Well, what could he say to her?
07:12He doesn't know anything either.
07:14Unless you've found a way to...
07:16Oh, I wish.
07:18I'm sure Nate's not loving the radio silence either.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Well, let's just hope that they're not, you know, getting each other worked up.
07:27No one is steadier or more reassuring than Nate.
07:30They chalk it up to his medical training,
07:33which, you know, if something should go wrong,
07:36he's the guy you want by your mother's side.
07:38Yeah, but we don't know if she's having any new symptoms
07:41or how she's reacting to the new treatment.
07:45And stress, I'll tell you, stress is the worst for someone in her condition,
07:49so I'm worried.
07:51We really love her.
07:53Yeah, that's my mom.
07:56And I know, I know how I reacted when I first saw her,
08:00but, you know, the things I've said and how I felt,
08:05honestly, that's two totally different things.
08:07That happens to all of us, doesn't it?
08:10But, I mean, in the meantime, it's not so bad of being here,
08:14especially the company.
08:16Don't you agree?
08:18Right.
08:21Okay, uh, Audra, what are you trying to say?
08:24Am I correct to think there are some sparks between you and Lily?
08:28Lily?
08:31Cain is my boss, Lily.
08:34And my job is to follow his explicit directions.
08:38And I have an NDA with penalties,
08:39but all of that being said,
08:41I tried to handle things with you
08:43with a certain level of sensitivity.
08:47Right, when you couldn't tell me anything.
08:50So can you speak freely now?
08:53Lily...
08:53Just, what do you know of Cain's intentions?
08:56And I'm not just talking about Chancellor.
08:58I don't know.
08:59He doesn't explain himself to me.
09:01That's not how it works.
09:02Okay.
09:05Amanda, I know that Devon ruined things between you two.
09:10Okay?
09:11But before that, we were almost family.
09:15So please, just tell me.
09:18What does Cain want?
09:20Like, what is he expecting from this reveal?
09:25I mean, you just said that you were sensitive
09:26in how you were dealing with me,
09:27which means that you know something.
09:33He didn't tell me anything outright.
09:34Okay, but he told you something.
09:37It was clear that Cain hoped the two of you could start again.
09:43So, is there any possibility that that could happen?
09:47If we were home,
09:53we could be breaking the story about Cain being Dumas
09:56and gaining attention for the launch of Abbott Communications.
09:58Then, I could see an upside to all this.
10:01Being here doesn't change that.
10:02I completely disagree with you.
10:04Being stuck here does absolutely nothing
10:06for the launch of Abbott Communications.
10:08Seriously, for all we know,
10:10somebody could have already published the story
10:12and stolen all of our thunder.
10:13Cain's too smart for that.
10:14No one on the outside knows the truth about who he is
10:17and no one here has internet access.
10:20Victor claims to have known who Cain has been for a while,
10:23so maybe Adam and Newman Media have already published the story
10:26and we have no idea we've been spooked.
10:28Of course, Victor is going to claim that, okay?
10:30And anybody can run any story,
10:32but we are here on the inside
10:33and that's where the true value is.
10:35What do you plan on doing with this information?
10:39Cain wants Chancellor.
10:41Funny enough, I want Victor to lose Chancellor
10:43in a very publicly humiliating way.
10:46What's changed is I'm not dealing with an elusive billionaire
10:48that just happened to change his name.
10:50I'm dealing with Cain.
10:51I know Cain.
10:53Five minutes alone with him,
10:54this trip turns into the score of a lifetime.
10:56I heard he told Cain that we are never getting back together.
11:04That is not going to happen,
11:05especially after this ridiculous charade he has pulled.
11:10What do you think is going to happen?
11:11I'm going to change my mind because his bank account is bigger?
11:14I don't think that was the case.
11:16Oh, right.
11:16He doesn't confide in you with anything.
11:18That's right.
11:19That's what you said.
11:19I am really sorry, Lily.
11:23Okay, I should have known that
11:25you would feel betrayed by Cain and by me.
11:28Look, I'm not trying to take it out on you, okay?
11:31I know that you have obligations.
11:33It's just, Cain is just obsessed with secrecy now.
11:37Well, less now.
11:39He is relieved to have told all of you.
11:41Being to Ma had become a burden.
11:42I could see that.
11:43And what else did you see?
11:45Did you see Cain and Colin reuniting?
11:48Or Colin's miraculous change from being a lifelong criminal?
11:51No, Colin had already passed by the time Cain hired me.
11:54But I can tell you this.
11:56Cain is a very different man than the one that I met long ago.
11:59When you thought you were working for Chance.
12:01Yeah, but it was really Colin.
12:03With that damn will he forged trying to steal Devon's inheritance.
12:06I am still so humiliated that I fell for that.
12:09Okay, well, Cain is wealthy now.
12:12After bonding with Colin.
12:14So what happened?
12:15Did he just take Colin's place by committing crimes of his own?
12:24Trying to relax.
12:26It's not very relaxing.
12:28Agreed.
12:30Yeah, I keep trying to walk the maze, trying to find my zen.
12:34How's that working for you?
12:35Not great.
12:37Can't find any cell service either.
12:39Same.
12:40Yeah, me too.
12:42Dominic was fine before he left, right?
12:43Oh, yeah.
12:44He was tearing up his playroom in record time.
12:47What are you saying?
12:47The clean-up song afterwards?
12:49Always.
12:50Clean-up song.
12:52What's the best?
12:53I'm surprised that you're here.
12:56I mean, not that you got invited, but that you accepted the invitation.
12:59I assume you're representing the Chancellors?
13:01Yeah, well, I, uh, I think Devon here.
13:04The Chancellorette.
13:06It's not why Kane wanted me here.
13:08How do you know that?
13:09Now, did you say something more specific?
13:11Yeah, he did.
13:13And it's gonna sound out there because it is.
13:16And I'm really not sure how to make it less weird.
13:19What is it?
13:22Kane thinks that someone is gonna try to kill him before this little vacation is over.
13:28Mom, what's bothering you?
13:33Nothing.
13:34Nothing.
13:35It's, uh, it's just, it's too much coffee.
13:37I mean, it is wonderful here, but...
13:39No, that's not going to work.
13:41Did something happen I don't know about?
13:44Maybe Dad and Victor?
13:47Dad and Kane?
13:49Mom, I'm just going to keep asking.
13:51All right.
13:52It's not about Dad and anyone.
13:54It's about you.
13:56And as much as I want to talk to you about it,
13:58I don't want you to think that I'm doubting you or questioning your judgment.
14:04So this is about me?
14:05Mm-hmm.
14:06And I told your father that I would leave it alone and let you handle it.
14:11Handle what?
14:12Just, just forget it.
14:13Just forget the conversation.
14:14No, that's not going to happen.
14:15Dad's not here, so let's talk about it.
14:18Okay.
14:18But I don't want you to think that I'm being controlling or overbearing.
14:23Mom?
14:24Seriously?
14:25Say it.
14:26Audra is using you.
14:28And it needs to stop now.
14:35Sparks.
14:36Okay.
14:37Now who's sounding like a middle schooler?
14:40Fire, heat, chemistry, pick your metaphor.
14:43But it's hard not to notice something between the two of you has fully developed here.
14:52That's fine.
14:53You don't have to answer about you and Lily.
14:56I never even considered it.
14:58That's got to be weird.
15:00You know, having all this time away from Genoa City,
15:03as spending more time with Lily,
15:06being a good friend, right?
15:08Part of her support system,
15:10maybe hoping for a little bit more than friendship.
15:13And then to find out that the man behind all of this is her ex.
15:17Okay, what's your point?
15:20You say you didn't know Dumal was Kane.
15:22And I believe you.
15:24Because I don't think you would have walked into this mess otherwise.
15:27And most of all,
15:29I don't think you want Lily so close to her ex.
15:31As her friend.
15:33Okay.
15:35You're right.
15:37Lily and I are friends.
15:39So anything else is just in your head.
15:43And you're also right that I wouldn't have led Lily into an ambush.
15:48You know?
15:49Especially with her ex.
15:51Because he's her ex.
15:53And she's made it very clear
15:54she wants nothing to do with him.
15:57Did she make that clear to him or you?
16:01To both of us.
16:02Oh, well then it's good
16:04that she has you and Devon by her side right now.
16:07She's lucky to have you.
16:08Both of you.
16:12Now since we're asking questions and
16:14making assumptions,
16:17what's going on with you and Kyle?
16:25I want to know.
16:26But I don't want to ask
16:27because this whole thing
16:28is making my head hurt.
16:31Are you talking to me
16:32or are you talking to yourself there?
16:33I just don't know if I should respond
16:34to that or not.
16:36How does Kane
16:37leading an attack on Chancellor
16:39help the launch of Abbott Communications?
16:40Okay.
16:41That I can answer.
16:42Kane's been gone from Chancellor
16:43for a very long time.
16:45A lot's changed
16:46at Chancellor
16:47in that time.
16:48I know it.
16:49Inside out.
16:50Kane wants Chancellor.
16:51He's gonna need me.
16:53Does he see it that way?
16:54Well, he will
16:55once I talk to him.
16:56And then hopefully
16:57he makes me the same offer
16:58he did originally
16:59which is to pump capital
17:00into Abbott Communications
17:01because it all comes back to that.
17:03Even though Kane knew
17:04exactly who he was talking to,
17:05even if you didn't
17:06and stopped returning your calls,
17:08you can get him to
17:09trust you,
17:10depend on you,
17:10and invest in you?
17:11Yes.
17:11Even though according to you,
17:13you two aren't that close?
17:14I did say that.
17:15Billy, all I see
17:16is your time,
17:18energy,
17:18and emotional investment
17:19that may never pay off.
17:21The longer you hope,
17:22the more you're gonna be let down
17:23and the more time
17:25we will have lost.
17:26Charlie, I hear you.
17:28And I understand your concern,
17:29but not knowing Kane
17:30and not being close to him
17:32are two different things.
17:33I know him.
17:35I also know Colin
17:36because of Jill.
17:37Okay?
17:38Look at this.
17:40Look at all of this.
17:43Kane's desperate.
17:45Now, sure,
17:45he might be a billionaire
17:46and maybe he has
17:47a few more secrets,
17:48but he's still the same
17:48desperate guy
17:49that needed family so badly
17:50that he latched onto Jill
17:51and Catherine
17:52and never let go.
17:54We are not blood,
17:55but we are brothers.
17:56I know him.
17:57I know he needs this
17:58just as much,
17:59if not more,
18:00than I do.
18:02He needs me.
18:04So we will use that
18:05to our advantage.
18:08For you,
18:10success,
18:12revenge,
18:13and respect
18:13are all tied
18:14into one huge knot
18:15and they consume
18:16your every thought.
18:19What about what
18:20we're supposed
18:20to be building?
18:22Do you not give a damn
18:23about that anymore?
18:27So that's what's bothering you?
18:29Audrey using me.
18:32You know how I feel
18:33about this social media thing.
18:34You admitted
18:35it was a good idea.
18:36No, I accepted
18:37it had merit.
18:38But to be honest,
18:39I think the whole thing
18:40is silly.
18:41Pitting Jabot
18:41against Fabrante,
18:43a company that barely exists,
18:44and even then,
18:45only exists because
18:46of Victor's money,
18:47and that's the issue.
18:49Why would Victor
18:50be investing in Audra
18:52unless he was using her
18:53to get what he wants?
18:55And what he wants
18:56is to hurt your father.
18:57And he knows
18:58how much Jack loves you,
18:59so by hurting you,
19:00it hurts him.
19:02And not to mention,
19:02Victor is furious
19:03about you and Claire
19:04being together.
19:05So Victor
19:06is using Audra,
19:08who is in turn
19:09using me.
19:10All right, all right.
19:10Don't say it
19:11like it doesn't matter.
19:12He is vicious,
19:14and he wants
19:15to destroy you,
19:16your father,
19:17and this family.
19:18And Audra
19:19is in on it.
19:21I love you.
19:22You are always
19:24ready to go to war
19:25for me or dad.
19:27That's right.
19:28And that is why
19:29I'm telling you
19:30that you need
19:30to watch your back.
19:31I've seen Audra
19:33and Victor
19:34exchanging glances
19:35when they think
19:35no one will notice.
19:36You already said it.
19:38They're working together
19:39on Vibrante.
19:40Kyle, pay attention.
19:43They are working
19:43to take you down.
19:47Kyle Abbott,
19:49we're former colleagues.
19:52That's it?
19:53That's all there ever was?
19:55If you must know...
19:59There it is.
20:02Okay, but that mistake
20:03is in the past.
20:04After loathing
20:05each other for a while,
20:07Kyle and I
20:08can be in the same room now.
20:09So maybe
20:10what you think you see
20:11is just
20:12some of that relief
20:13that we can coexist.
20:15Right.
20:15Oh, and getting
20:16some attention
20:17for Vibrante.
20:19So this thing
20:20with you and Kyle
20:21is just all in the past,
20:23yeah?
20:24Obviously.
20:25Hmm.
20:26It's kind of like
20:26you and Holden,
20:27who's made it clear
20:29that he'd be more
20:31than happy
20:31to pick things up
20:32where you guys
20:33left off.
20:34Okay, that's all Holden
20:35and nothing
20:36to do with me.
20:38And Kyle is very serious
20:39with Victor's granddaughter,
20:40Claire,
20:40and I have Nate.
20:43Like, he's probably
20:43the best man
20:44I've ever known.
20:46So I wouldn't do anything
20:47to risk losing him.
20:49So no issue there.
20:52Uh, well,
20:53if Nate doesn't know anything,
20:55then maybe it's not a risk.
20:58What is that supposed to mean?
21:01Maybe you're thinking
21:02about doing something
21:02while you're here.
21:04Behind Nate's back.
21:08Of course,
21:09I know better
21:09than to ask an attorney
21:10if her client is a criminal.
21:12Not directly, at least.
21:14This is what I am more
21:15than happy to tell you.
21:17I may have met Kane
21:18in Genoa City
21:19before he went
21:20to track down Colin,
21:21but I know him
21:22for the man he is today.
21:25Well, that was
21:26perfectly evasive.
21:28I would never be
21:28in this position
21:29if I didn't believe
21:30in his decency.
21:31No job is worth that.
21:33Okay, well,
21:34here's what I know.
21:36Kane knew
21:37how destructive
21:38and vicious
21:38his father was
21:39before he left town.
21:41And then all of a sudden,
21:42he's buying into
21:43all of Colin's lies,
21:44trying to convince me
21:45to let Colin
21:46see his grandkids.
21:48Which has to be
21:49for only one reason.
21:51Colin must have
21:51roped Kane back in,
21:53was trying to do
21:53the same thing
21:54with the twins,
21:54and Kane let it happen.
21:56There's nothing decent
21:57about that.
21:59Okay, I'm not trying
21:59to compare working
22:00for the man
22:01with raising children
22:02with him.
22:04But you two
22:05obviously have
22:06a deep bond.
22:08It doesn't matter.
22:10Kane got all of this
22:12by being exactly
22:13like his father.
22:15And if I cared,
22:16I would feel sad.
22:18But instead,
22:19I just feel disgusted.
22:20Take me down?
22:34That sounds so dramatic.
22:36I don't think
22:37there's such a thing
22:38as being overly concerned
22:40about any of this.
22:41Well, it sounds like
22:42you think I'm out of my league.
22:43No, Kyle.
22:44I have complete faith in you.
22:46I do.
22:46Look, I don't want you
22:49to think that I'm trying
22:50to tell you what to do.
22:53But for Audra and Victor
22:55to be working together,
22:57there's something dark there.
22:59And you know what happened
23:00the last time
23:00you got caught in the middle.
23:03Here I am in one piece.
23:04Oh, all right.
23:04You might want to forget about it,
23:06but I never will.
23:07Kyle, your father and I
23:08had to go to painful extremes,
23:10and I had to risk losing you
23:12to get you to open your eyes
23:14to what Victor was doing.
23:15And now I am begging you
23:17to open them again.
23:18Mom, it is okay.
23:19No, it's not.
23:19No, yes, it is okay.
23:22Because I know,
23:24yes, Victor and Audra
23:25have plans,
23:26but I am one step ahead of them.
23:29Whatever they're working on,
23:32I'll be the one
23:32to take Audra down first.
23:36Other than the fact
23:37that Nate and I
23:38can't contact each other,
23:40we are extremely happy
23:41with one another.
23:42Okay.
23:42Meanwhile, you and Kyle
23:45are over there
23:45laughing in the corner.
23:47We are collaborating
23:48on a social media campaign
23:49to drive engagement
23:50and hype me Bronte.
23:52Yeah, I call it one of that.
23:54Which means he's doing
23:55your favor.
23:56Why?
23:57Jabot will benefit, too.
23:59And somehow you've managed
24:00to convince him
24:01of all that.
24:02I can be very persuasive.
24:05Apparently.
24:05Okay.
24:08We don't have cell
24:09or Wi-Fi access here,
24:10but we're coordinating posts
24:12for when we go online.
24:13That's why you saw us
24:14laughing in the corner.
24:15Okay, but how does
24:17any of that mean
24:18that something's not
24:19happening between you two?
24:21Because I said so.
24:22But this whole
24:23social media push
24:24could just be a hell of a cover
24:26for something else.
24:28Like what?
24:29Like whatever happens
24:30in Nice
24:31stays in Nice.
24:33Kane wants you here?
24:38Because someone
24:39might try to kill him?
24:41It makes no sense,
24:42I know.
24:43Did he say who
24:44or how
24:45or when?
24:46Nothing.
24:47Nothing.
24:48Okay, maybe this is just
24:49some sort of joke.
24:51Maybe it's like
24:52a murder mystery game.
24:54I mean,
24:54there's a lot of activities here.
24:56Maybe that's just one of them.
24:57I don't think this is an act.
24:58He seemed genuinely concerned.
25:00So what,
25:00are you here to protect them
25:02or are you just a deterrent?
25:03So we're far from home,
25:05no contact with the outside world,
25:07and now we have to worry
25:08that some would-be killer
25:09is gonna shoot
25:10or poison
25:12or push the host
25:13off a cliff?
25:14I mean...
25:14It doesn't make any sense.
25:16If he really thought
25:16he was in danger,
25:17why would he throw
25:18an event like this?
25:19Like he's gotta have
25:20some kind of safe room
25:21or a wine cellar
25:22or something like that.
25:24And who's the would-be killer?
25:26I'll keep it a secret.
25:27What's with any of this?
25:28This is all so weird.
25:30It all feels
25:31very off.
25:33Kane's trying to stir up drama,
25:35but he's gonna get more
25:36than he bargained for.
25:39Sally,
25:40I care about
25:41what we are building.
25:42And look,
25:43revenge is not
25:43the center of my world
25:44as much as
25:45you may think that it is.
25:47I care more about
25:48Abbott Communications
25:49than I can actually
25:50explain to you.
25:51And where does
25:51beating Victor for once
25:53rank in comparison?
25:54That would be tied for first.
25:56You keep making jokes.
25:57I'm not laughing.
25:58I'm not making a joke.
26:00I'm being serious.
26:02Kane wants Chancellor,
26:04okay?
26:04That's why he invited
26:05Victor here.
26:05He wants to go toe-to-toe.
26:07And I'm gonna use that
26:08to my advantage.
26:09I help him.
26:11I get something in return.
26:13You really believe that?
26:15Why else would Kane
26:15want me here?
26:16I don't know.
26:18Maybe he wants an audience
26:20for when he gets
26:20Victor in the ring.
26:21I don't know why
26:21he's doing any of this.
26:22I don't know the man, Billy.
26:23Okay.
26:24Well, I'm telling you,
26:25I know him.
26:29I know him very well.
26:30I had a 15-plus year
26:32crash course on Kane Ashby.
26:34I know the way he operates
26:34and we fought over everything.
26:36We fought over jobs.
26:37We fought over Delia.
26:39Over Jill's acceptance.
26:41Every once in a while,
26:42we actually got along.
26:43God forbid,
26:44we liked it.
26:46I know Kane.
26:49He wants this
26:50and he needs me
26:52and I'm gonna use that
26:53to my advantage.
26:59What if you're right
27:00about all this?
27:03What if Kane is so grateful
27:05that he hands you
27:06Chancellor to run?
27:07Because I think deep down
27:08that's what you're hoping for, right?
27:10I mean, that's what Dumont
27:10promised you the first time around
27:11and you think that this is
27:12your chance to lock it down.
27:13Billy, I...
27:17I can't argue with you
27:19about any of this anymore.
27:21All right?
27:21All I can say
27:22is it's time that I lay down
27:24some ground rules.
27:24I can't argue with what you just said.
27:34Well, you can.
27:36That won't change what I believe.
27:38And if I deny about going after Chancellor?
27:40You respect me too much
27:41to keep pulling that.
27:43Okay.
27:44I want what I want
27:47and I believe I can get it.
27:50That's why I'm here.
27:50So what does that mean for us?
27:55Ground rules.
27:57Whatever you want.
27:58I'm serious.
28:00So am I.
28:01You might not like
28:02what you're about to hear.
28:03That's why I brought you here, Sally.
28:06Because you always keep me in line.
28:08Billy, that is not what a COO
28:10is supposed to do.
28:10I'm not talking about a COO.
28:11I'm talking about...
28:12Your girlfriend?
28:14That's worse.
28:16Okay.
28:16Whatever you want,
28:18I will put it into the contract
28:19with Cain
28:20once I negotiate that contract.
28:22That's not what I'm asking for, Billy.
28:24Okay, well then I'm gonna shut up
28:25and why don't you tell me
28:26what you want.
28:27If you're looking after
28:28your wants and needs,
28:29then I need to look after mine.
28:31Because I am not about to get
28:32left out in the cold like Phyllis.
28:33No.
28:34Phyllis walked herself
28:35into the cold, okay?
28:36I did not push her.
28:37I want it in writing.
28:39A binding agreement.
28:41Saying what?
28:42If you do pursue Chancellor
28:44and you get it,
28:46then you give me control
28:49of Abbott Communications.
28:54You're here to catch
28:55a would-be killer?
28:57Before the fact.
28:58Like, how does that work?
29:00By doing what I do.
29:01You know, keeping my eyes
29:02and my ears open.
29:04For what?
29:05Intent.
29:06Means.
29:07By what?
29:08Searching the sleeping cars?
29:09Patting us all down?
29:10Well, that would imply
29:11that somebody brought a weapon.
29:13Unless they pick up a shovel
29:14that a gardener left somewhere.
29:15Or maybe the gardener
29:16and the staff
29:17are the ones out to get them.
29:18Wait, we are treating this
29:20like a mystery novel.
29:21But if Kane is serious,
29:22this is insane.
29:24And was this like a part
29:25of his plan
29:25to invite his killer?
29:27What did you just say?
29:30Hi, uh, Lily.
29:31We were just, um,
29:33talking.
29:34Honey.
29:34This, has Kane
29:36said anything to you
29:38about his safety?
29:39No, nothing.
29:40But did you say a killer?
29:41Yeah, because
29:43he's claiming
29:44that someone's gonna
29:44try and kill him.
29:45What?
29:46Yes, that's why
29:47he asked me to come.
29:49Uh, why would he say that?
29:51Well, that is what
29:52we are trying to figure out.
29:54Oh my God,
29:54this is so ridiculous.
29:55Is this for, like,
29:56sympathy or something?
29:58What, what,
29:58he wanted you to come here
29:59and, and what,
30:00be his bodyguard?
30:01Did he say anything
30:01to you at all?
30:02Anything?
30:03No, nothing.
30:04Other than the fact
30:05that he wants
30:05to get back together.
30:07Which, it's like,
30:08what, he wants me
30:09to feel sorry for him
30:10and then I just,
30:11all is forgiven?
30:12Is that possible?
30:13No, it's not possible.
30:14I don't love him anymore.
30:16I honestly don't even
30:17like or respect him.
30:19Thank God there's
30:19no cell service here
30:20so that he can't
30:21warn the twins about this.
30:22Because otherwise,
30:22I swear to God,
30:23I would kill him myself.
30:24I see that.
30:25I'm sure he knows better
30:26than to worry the twins.
30:28It's like the games
30:28are just endless with him.
30:30But what's the reason?
30:32Well, beyond
30:32getting everybody
30:33worked up like this,
30:35I can't see it.
30:36Exactly.
30:37Look, we're talking
30:38about Cain now.
30:39We've been talking
30:39about Dumas for weeks.
30:42Maybe this is
30:43all a distraction.
30:44But what is he
30:45trying to hide?
30:58Sally, come on, okay?
31:07As far as Phyllis,
31:08you were there
31:08for all that.
31:09She was a wreck
31:10after the clinic.
31:10She was in no shape
31:11to launch a company.
31:12The way that she spoke
31:13to you, let alone
31:14trying to drag Daniel
31:15on board when he wanted
31:16nothing to do with it.
31:18Okay?
31:19I gave her some time
31:20to try and deal
31:20with all that.
31:21You warned me
31:22about working with her.
31:23Mm-hmm.
31:24Just like I warned you
31:25about being obsessed
31:26with Chancellor
31:26and look how
31:27that turned out.
31:28So yes, I have demands.
31:31I gave up a very
31:33successful career
31:34at Marchetti.
31:35Phyllis gave up nothing.
31:37This is about you and me.
31:38You're right, Billy.
31:39It is about you and me.
31:41I gave up everything
31:42for Abbott Communications.
31:44I'm all in.
31:47On the company
31:47and with you.
31:51And I'm grateful for that.
31:52I am.
31:53I don't need thanks, Billy.
31:56I need reassurance.
31:57I have absolutely nothing
31:58if this falls apart.
31:59No family fortune,
32:00no relatives to give me a loan.
32:01So what are you saying?
32:02There's no risk for me
32:03in this?
32:04Personally and emotionally?
32:06Yeah, of course.
32:08But your ability
32:09to put food on the table?
32:10No.
32:10Okay.
32:10There's no risk at all.
32:11I'm not sure that's fair.
32:12Well, neither is the position
32:13that you're putting me in.
32:15If you want Chancellor,
32:16I accept that.
32:19But you can't run it
32:20and Abbott Communications.
32:22We're not near that point
32:23right now.
32:24I haven't even talked to Kane yet.
32:25Okay, well,
32:25that's why it makes sense
32:26to lock it in now
32:27before things snowball.
32:28I need to know
32:28that you trust me
32:29to run Abbott Communications
32:31and you're not going
32:32to install someone over me.
32:33That we're both working
32:34towards something fulfilling,
32:35not just you.
32:37If you get what you want,
32:38then I should get what I want.
32:42Is this a deal breaker, Sally?
32:44You better believe it is.
32:46I don't know.
32:46I don't know.
32:46I don't know.
32:46How long have you been
32:51holding on to that
32:52and wanting to warn me
32:53about Audra?
32:54Don't patronize your mother.
32:55I'm not.
32:56Oh, come on.
32:57You're still doing it.
32:58I appreciate you looking out for me.
33:00But no,
33:00I don't trust Audra.
33:02Not now,
33:03not ever.
33:04It's a
33:05keep your enemies close
33:07kind of thing.
33:08I'm on alert.
33:09I swear.
33:10Well, good.
33:11But she's only part
33:12of the equation.
33:13If she's up to something,
33:14which she is,
33:16then Victor's behind it.
33:17Understood.
33:18But it has been amusing
33:19watching Audra
33:20shoot some not-so-secret looks
33:21to Victor.
33:22Could you maybe have
33:23less amusement
33:24and more caution?
33:25Mom,
33:25I have plenty of both.
33:28Don't worry.
33:29I've got this.
33:34Damien,
33:34I am sorry
33:35if I offended you
33:36asking about Lily.
33:38It's a
33:39touchy subject for you.
33:41But that doesn't mean
33:42you can start implying this.
33:43Look, I'm not implying,
33:44okay?
33:46I'm just saying
33:46what I've seen.
33:47Well, like I told you,
33:48I am devoted
33:49to Nate.
33:52Look,
33:52at first,
33:53I wanted
33:53nothing to do
33:54with having a half-brother.
33:56But then I got to know him.
33:59So, yeah,
34:00that means
34:00I'm very
34:01protective
34:02of Nate now.
34:03You're protecting him
34:04from me?
34:06If I need to.
34:07Like I said,
34:08we're good,
34:08so don't worry
34:09about it.
34:11You know,
34:11that'll be great.
34:13But I think
34:14I'm going to decide
34:15that for myself.
34:17What does that mean?
34:19I've got my eye on you.
34:29Kane has literally
34:29arranged every moment
34:31of this visit.
34:32Yeah,
34:32including a murder threat.
34:34So you think it's fake?
34:35I mean,
34:36I think it's pretty convenient.
34:38Like,
34:38if he knows it's coming,
34:39why is he just
34:40going to walk into it?
34:41He's definitely
34:42up to something.
34:43I just don't know
34:43what it is.
34:44Well, look,
34:45he brought me here
34:46as a detective,
34:47so I can use
34:48those skills for him,
34:49and I can use
34:50those against him.
34:51I'm sorry
34:52he manipulated you,
34:53but I'm glad
34:53you're here.
34:55How are you going
34:55to figure out
34:56what's going on?
34:57Start by talking
34:58to him.
34:59Well,
34:59he's not going
35:00to give anything away.
35:01But actually,
35:03Amanda might.
35:04You think?
35:05I mean,
35:05she's pretty loyal
35:06to Kane.
35:07Yeah.
35:08And she's dodged
35:09so far.
35:10Well,
35:10blame her NDA,
35:11but she definitely
35:13knows more
35:13than she's letting on.
35:14I mean,
35:15she seemed genuinely
35:16worried about upsetting me.
35:18So what are you thinking?
35:20I think one of us
35:21needs to break her down
35:22and get her to talk.
35:23Okay.
35:28So what are you thinking?
