00:08dinner hey pop it's me again i know that you're busy with aristotle dumas but i really need to
00:16talk to you okay it's important it's even later in france if you're calling victor there must be
00:26a problem did something big happen oh how was your talk with victor well i offered to buy chancellor
00:39was he receptive it's not the word i would use bet am either guests well they have retired for
00:50the evening though i suspect some of them may have trouble sleeping listen i'm sorry tonight
00:59didn't go the way that you'd hoped not as i hoped but not much different than i expected
01:06thank you for arranging all of this oh of course you know how much i love a party
01:16yeah well still not the most easygoing group is it you don't say
01:21i do have to admit that it will be a relief not to have to keep your identity a secret anymore
01:28yeah it can be lonely living in the shadows does that mean that you won't miss being aristotle dumas
01:35no that identity served its purpose
01:39i get the feeling that you have more secrets that you're keeping am i right about that
01:47thank you so much so much for that
02:34Do you honestly think that you have the right to tell me to stay away from our kids?
02:53I'm their father, Lily.
02:55Well, your father is a bad influence, which is exemplified by the fact that after everything he has done,
03:03you're willing to let him back into your life.
03:05I told you that he's changed.
03:06I know that you believe that. I don't.
03:09He made amends. He realizes how much family means to him, and he wants to see his grandchildren.
03:14The man is sick. Okay? My dad is dying, Lily.
03:18I'm really sorry, but he has made his choices, and I've made mine.
03:23Okay, well, Maddie and Charlie are adults, so they can make their own choices.
03:26So if you don't need my approval, why did you even ask me?
03:29Maddie and Charlie know how I feel about your dad, and so they don't trust him.
03:34And the fact that you're letting Colin convince you to trust him again shows that you have bad judgment.
03:39So I don't want you around the kids either.
03:41No, don't. Don't. Don't do that. Don't.
03:45Listen, you will not cut me out of my children's lives.
03:48You know what? Losing your temper will not make me change my mind.
03:54Could you just agree to me with him?
03:56Please, give him the opportunity to show you that he's changed.
04:00The man is staring death in the face, Lily. That changes everything.
04:03And it's clear you don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but don't you at least owe me that.
04:07I don't want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but don't you at least owe me that.
04:37I have a few other surprises in store for my guests.
04:48Care to share what those might be?
04:51I know how tiresome it was to defy questions about my identity.
04:55I'll spare you my confidence regarding what comes next.
04:58I would push you to tell me, but I know it won't do any good.
05:02You never got a chance to give me your take on people's reaction to my reveal.
05:09Oh, well, you were there. You saw the look on their faces. They were all blown away.
05:13Well, except for...
05:15Victor.
05:16Hmm.
05:18But when you and Victor came out of the maze,
05:22everyone was just trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
05:26I mean, for months, they were wondering,
05:29who is Aristotle tomorrow?
05:32And they finally got that answer.
05:35And now they have more questions.
05:38But I know Lily's response is the one that you're most interested in.
05:43She didn't look very happy.
05:45No. She made it clear she was not.
05:47Cain, I know that she is the mother of your children,
05:53but this is a lot for anyone.
05:57We'll always be connected by Maddie and Charlie.
06:01Lily, she just...
06:02She just needs a little bit more time to process all this, that's all.
06:08Women, especially ones as strong and as smart as Lily Winters,
06:13they do not like when the truth is kept from them.
06:15I stopped by the train to see her again tonight.
06:22And?
06:23Devon is urging her to leave.
06:25They want to leave Virginia City tomorrow morning.
06:27Yeah, I would suspect that that would be his reaction.
06:31He is very protective of the ones he loves.
06:36Is that your professional or your personal opinion?
06:38Okay, let's not go there.
06:40I do not need advice on how to deal with my ex, unsolicited or otherwise.
06:44You pay me to give you wise counsel on your affairs,
06:48not the other way around.
06:50Okay, okay, point taken.
06:54There's a storm coming.
06:56It's gonna be a big one.
06:58It may be my only hope to keep Lily here.
07:04As much as she wants to leave,
07:06I need her here.
07:08Couldn't sleep?
07:18Nope.
07:19Not at all.
07:21Bet I can guess what, or should I say who,
07:25is keeping you awake.
07:26May I pour you a glass of wine?
07:36No, I think I'm just gonna stick to water.
07:39Huh?
07:40You're missing out.
07:41This is a fine glass of Sommion Blanc.
07:44I'll tell you, the ma has.
07:46You mean Cain?
07:48Cain.
07:48You know, when I worked for him,
07:51he was,
07:51he was just a name.
07:54But now that he's got a face,
07:56to me, he's,
07:58he's just another guy.
08:01But he was a whole lot more to you.
08:04You know, we once talked about
08:05being unlucky in love.
08:09Now, am I safe to assume that
08:10it was his dramatic entrance
08:13that's gotten you awake now?
08:16Well, yeah, of course.
08:17I mean,
08:17I didn't think I was gonna find Cain here.
08:21Or find out that he's leading a double life
08:23as a billionaire.
08:24Yeah.
08:25So, yeah, I know I wanted to sleep on it,
08:27which, that's not happening.
08:29So, I think that you and Devon are right,
08:31and we should just leave
08:32first thing in the morning.
08:35Yeah, well, when,
08:36when we left you alone with Cain,
08:39I thought he might say something to you
08:41that would make you want to stay
08:44to hear more.
08:45Yeah, I know.
08:46I know Devon thinks that he's just gonna
08:48sweet-talk his way back into my life.
08:51I mean, I know how protective
08:52Devon is of family.
08:55You in particular.
08:56Well, I can take care of myself.
08:58Everybody knows that, I mean, okay?
09:00But it doesn't stop people from caring, though.
09:03I know that.
09:04It's just annoying
09:06that Devon thinks that I'm still so
09:09naive when it comes to men
09:12and, and business.
09:14But,
09:15I know his heart
09:17is in the right place.
09:18No doubt.
09:20What is his concern, Allie?
09:23Lily, this talk with your ex, it...
09:26No, it was a
09:27complete waste of time.
09:30Although, Devon was right.
09:32Cain thinks that there is some way
09:34that I'm gonna give him another chance.
09:35So, that's why I want to leave.
09:38Because I don't want him thinking
09:39that's a possibility.
09:41Just the sooner I am away from Cain,
09:44the better.
09:48You are resorting to praying
09:50to the god of thunder
09:52to keep Lily here.
09:54That's, um, Thor, right?
09:58No, he was a Norse god.
10:00My appeal was to Zeus.
10:03Yeah, I'm partial to the Greeks.
10:04Mm, of course.
10:06Aristotle.
10:08Still, it's not like you to
10:10throw up your hands
10:11and just put your fate
10:12in someone else's.
10:14Yeah, no, it's more my style
10:15to throw money at a problem.
10:17Mm.
10:18But not everybody can be bought.
10:20Lily certainly cannot.
10:23But you said that Victor
10:24was not interested
10:26in making a deal.
10:28Is there a chance
10:29that that's a negotiating tactic?
10:31Did you get a sense
10:32that there may be a price
10:34that he'd be willing
10:35to give up Chancellor for?
10:38Victor's always been
10:39a hard sell.
10:42But I'm committed
10:43to acquiring that company
10:44by any means necessary.
10:47I still have a few cards
10:49left up my sleeve.
10:51Well, maybe you can let me
10:52take a peek at your hand.
10:54You know, make sure
10:55that it's as strong
10:56as you think it is.
10:57Mm-hmm.
10:57You think I'm bluffing?
10:59I can't tell you
11:00what I think
11:00if you shut me out.
11:02Now, Cain,
11:03I know that you are used
11:05to keeping your own counsel
11:06and you have done
11:07very well for yourself,
11:08but I am here.
11:09I am here
11:10to protect you
11:11from going all in
11:12when you are playing a game
11:14that you cannot
11:15possibly win.
11:17Victor
11:18is a formidable foe.
11:20Do not underestimate him.
11:22I won't.
11:23But Victor
11:25underestimated
11:26Aristotle Dumas.
11:28And now he's
11:28underestimating
11:29Cain Ashby.
11:30I would never do
11:31anything like that
11:32to you.
11:41I just need
11:42to talk to my father.
11:45He's not returning
11:45my calls or texts.
11:48And I don't know
11:48if he's giving me
11:49the cold shoulder
11:50because I didn't execute
11:51his plan to
11:52trash Billy.
11:53Or he's just not
11:54getting my messages.
11:56I wish I could tell you
11:57it's the latter.
11:59It's most likely
12:00the former.
12:01He's a niece,
12:02not on Mars.
12:03Well, I knew
12:04he was going to be angry,
12:05but now is not
12:06a good time
12:07for him to be petulant.
12:08I just wish
12:09we could give Victor
12:09something else
12:10to sink his teeth into.
12:12Some scandal
12:14that could demand
12:15his attention.
12:17Well, we have that now.
12:19So if he is ignoring
12:20my messages,
12:21it's to his own detriment.
12:23Okay, now you're
12:24starting to scare me.
12:26When I walked in
12:27and you were so
12:27intently focused
12:28on your phone,
12:29I assumed you were
12:30still just fighting
12:30zombies.
12:33Well, I wish
12:33I was the one
12:34playing games.
12:35someone is making
12:38some big moves
12:39in Genoa City.
12:41And I'm afraid
12:42that someone
12:42is Aristotle Dumas.
12:49Well, I, for one,
12:50am glad that you
12:51decided to head
12:52back home.
12:54Now, I don't know
12:56if I would call
12:56this a party,
12:57but there's definitely
13:00been more puzzles
13:01than I care to solve.
13:02Oh, you didn't like
13:03the life-size maze?
13:05No.
13:06I did not.
13:07Okay?
13:08But I made it
13:09thanks to you.
13:11Yeah, well,
13:12claustrophobia
13:13is not fun.
13:14I can usually manage
13:17if I know
13:18what I'm dealing with,
13:19but those hedges,
13:20they took me
13:21by surprise.
13:23There's been a lot
13:24of surprises here.
13:27I thought maybe
13:28when I heard you
13:29cry out earlier
13:31tonight that...
13:32You and Devon
13:32had to rescue me?
13:34Lily, you sounded
13:35in distress.
13:36Well, I was.
13:38So is that
13:38Kane's M.O.?
13:41You know,
13:42setting up situations
13:43so there's major drama?
13:44I don't know
13:45who he is anymore
13:46or what he thinks.
13:48Yeah, well,
13:48it's not how
13:50Dumas does things.
13:51You know,
13:52he likes to stay
13:53under the radar.
13:56But Kane...
13:56Kane seems to be
13:59the go-big-or-go-home
14:00kind of guy.
14:01Yeah, well,
14:02I'm choosing the latter.
14:03Yeah, but you used
14:04to love him, right?
14:06Yeah, of course I did.
14:08I mean, that's why
14:09I was lying awake,
14:11because I just was
14:12trying to reconcile
14:14past memories
14:15with where we are
14:17in the present.
14:18You two clearly
14:20had happier times,
14:22you know,
14:22with your wedding
14:23and the birth
14:25of your twins.
14:26Yeah, no,
14:27I'm talking about
14:28more recent events.
14:31I just feel like
14:32Kane is just becoming
14:33more and more
14:34like his dad.
14:36It's like there was
14:36a time when
14:37Kane knew
14:39who his father was
14:40and he would have
14:40never trusted him
14:42around people
14:42that he loved
14:43and especially
14:44the kids.
14:46And now I feel
14:47like Kane is just
14:48determined to become
14:50just like his dad.
14:52I'm...
14:52I'm sorry I put
14:54all of this on you.
14:56No, Lily,
14:56you're trying to
14:57figure things out.
14:59And I'm happy
14:59to listen.
15:01Yeah, well,
15:02I was looking
15:03for a distraction,
15:04so...
15:04Oh!
15:06I've been called
15:06worse.
15:07No, I just...
15:08I don't want to
15:09talk or think
15:10about Kane
15:11at all anymore.
15:12I just don't.
15:13Oh.
15:15So,
15:15you're up
15:16and I'm up.
15:19Any idea
15:20what I can do
15:21to take your mind
15:23off your troubles?
15:28Thanks for agreeing
15:29to eat with me
15:29before we head home.
15:35Okay.
15:35If you're not
15:37going to pay
15:37any attention to me,
15:38you at least
15:39have to tell me
15:39what's going on.
15:40You were on your cell
15:41the entire way
15:42over here.
15:44Look,
15:45I'm sorry.
15:47Hey,
15:48when you kept
15:49your promise
15:49and defied
15:50Victor's orders
15:51to go after Billy,
15:53we said we would
15:54deal with the fallout
15:55together.
15:57Well,
15:57to tell you the truth,
15:58I'm a lot less worried
15:58about what my father
15:59is going to do to me.
16:00Than what
16:00your mom is going
16:01to do to your father.
16:03So,
16:03tell me,
16:04what is Dumas doing
16:06that has you
16:06so unsettled?
16:10I was just
16:10getting confirmation
16:12on some rumors
16:15that I heard.
16:16What rumors?
16:18Someone's been
16:19buying up real estate
16:20in downtown
16:20Genoa City.
16:22Any and all
16:23available commercial
16:24properties.
16:25Within walking distance,
16:27Newman Enterprises,
16:28Jabot Cosmetics,
16:29and Chancellor Industries.
16:31In that scene,
16:32real estate holding
16:33company is buying up
16:34several condo properties
16:36in that same area.
16:38Interesting.
16:39It is.
16:40And I don't know
16:40why anyone
16:41will be suddenly
16:42interested in acquiring
16:43so much property
16:44in downtown
16:44Genoa City.
16:46It may sound like
16:46the property's
16:47were deals.
16:48I found someone
16:49warning for sale.
16:50So,
16:51I had one of our
16:51investigators do
16:52a deep dive.
16:53It is a real estate
16:54company.
16:55And just like
16:56the Dangler's
16:57property in Los Angeles,
16:58it's owned by
16:59Arabesque.
17:01Which is owned
17:02by Aristotle Dumas.
17:05And now,
17:07Dumas invites
17:08the Newmans
17:08and the Abbots
17:09to some exclusive
17:10party on the
17:12other side of the
17:12world.
17:13Where he's buying
17:14up huge chunks
17:15of real estate
17:16strategically adjacent
17:17to all of
17:18their companies.
17:19Why would Dumas
17:20do this?
17:22I mean,
17:22that's why I'm
17:23trying to get
17:23a hold of my dad.
17:25Maybe he knows
17:26what Dumas
17:27is up to.
17:29Phyllis,
17:31you are not
17:31eavesdropping
17:33on our
17:33private conversation.
17:35Oh,
17:35I would never
17:35do that.
17:36I'm like,
17:37not like I have
17:38my ears
17:38to a hedge
17:39or something.
17:40That would be
17:41so ridiculous.
17:42No,
17:42I was walking
17:43around,
17:44so gorgeous.
17:46So gorgeous.
17:47And I heard
17:47voices and
17:48I'm all about
17:51respecting your
17:52privacy.
17:53Since when?
17:55I don't remember
17:58you being funny.
17:59Yeah,
18:00I am.
18:01Life's taught me
18:01to have a sense
18:02of humor.
18:02Yeah,
18:02well,
18:03this place
18:03is no joke.
18:05It is gorgeous.
18:06Truly.
18:07can we talk?
18:11You know,
18:12Phyllis,
18:12it's been a long
18:13night.
18:14Whatever you have
18:14to say,
18:15I'd rather wait
18:15till tomorrow
18:16morning to hear it.
18:16I completely
18:17understand that.
18:18Listen,
18:18your time is
18:19valuable.
18:20I get that.
18:21I just need
18:23maybe 15
18:24minutes
18:24to give you
18:28my elevator
18:28pitch.
18:29Oh,
18:29timing.
18:30My timing
18:31is impeccable,
18:32actually.
18:35You would
18:36not have
18:37allowed me
18:37to come
18:38if you
18:39didn't want
18:39to work
18:39with me
18:39in some
18:40capacity.
18:42You know
18:42that,
18:43and I
18:43know that.
18:43so I
18:47meant what
18:47I said.
18:49I would
18:49never,
18:50ever
18:50underestimate
18:51you,
18:52Kane.
18:53You see,
18:54I've built
18:54a career
18:55on taking
18:56advantage
18:56of people
18:57who have
18:57underestimated
18:58me.
19:00Phyllis,
19:01he's already
19:03said that he'll
19:03talk to you
19:04in the morning,
19:04okay?
19:04Let's just
19:05take that
19:05as a win.
19:06I,
19:06I,
19:06absolutely,
19:07absolutely.
19:08Listen,
19:08I think
19:09what happened
19:09here today,
19:10we realize
19:11that time
19:12is precious
19:12and anything
19:13can change
19:13on a dime,
19:14right?
19:15Yeah,
19:15she's right
19:16about that.
19:21Okay,
19:22Phyllis,
19:23you can have
19:24ten minutes
19:25of my very
19:25valuable time.
19:27Make it
19:28very good.
19:34If I can't
19:34consult with
19:35my father,
19:35then it's
19:36up to me
19:36to figure out
19:37what Dumas'
19:38game plan is.
19:39You mean,
19:39it's up to us?
19:44Victor has
19:45got to have
19:46met this
19:46guy already
19:47and know
19:48what his
19:48intentions are
19:49and whether
19:50or not the
19:51moves that
19:51he's making
19:51closer home
19:52need to be
19:52countered.
19:53Have you
19:53tried reaching
19:54out to
19:54Nick or
19:55Nicky?
19:56I tried to
19:57call Sharon,
19:58but I didn't
19:58have any luck.
20:01Maybe the
20:01messages aren't
20:02going through.
20:03Well,
20:04like you said,
20:05they're not on
20:05Mars.
20:06It's not like
20:06they don't have
20:07cell service
20:07in Nice.
20:08No,
20:08but maybe
20:09they don't
20:09have cell
20:10service at
20:10the Chateau.
20:13Or maybe
20:14Dumas made
20:14them all hand
20:15in their phones
20:16so they can
20:16take a picture
20:17of him and
20:17leak it online.
20:19Or maybe
20:20Dumas doesn't
20:20want them to
20:21know what
20:22he's up to
20:23while they're
20:23away.
20:25Yeah.
20:31Well,
20:31I don't think
20:33we're going to
20:33figure this
20:34out tonight,
20:35so maybe
20:36we're going to
20:38wait till
20:38the morning.
20:42Guess it's
20:42going to
20:43have to.
20:45Look,
20:46I'm sorry
20:46that I'm so
20:47distracted by
20:48this.
20:49Let's enjoy
20:50our dinner
20:50together,
20:51okay?
20:55I like
20:56that plan.
20:59I think
21:00I saw
21:00something
21:01when I was
21:01looking around
21:02the car
21:04earlier.
21:05Whoa.
21:07What is it?
21:08Quite the
21:09collection.
21:10Oh,
21:11wow.
21:12Oh,
21:12look at
21:12these knives.
21:14You're not
21:15going to do
21:15a circus act
21:16where you
21:16throw that
21:16at me,
21:17are you?
21:17No,
21:17no,
21:18that's not
21:19what I had
21:19in mind,
21:20okay?
21:20I just,
21:21I didn't
21:22see these.
21:24They're
21:24beauties.
21:25So what,
21:25is your
21:26ex a
21:27collector?
21:28I mean,
21:29not when we
21:29were together.
21:31So maybe
21:32it's just
21:32part of this
21:32whole count
21:34of Monte
21:34Crystal
21:35fascination.
21:36I thought
21:36we're staying
21:37away from
21:37all things
21:37Dumas,
21:38right?
21:39Right.
21:40Sorry.
21:42Okay.
21:43Okay,
21:43so what do
21:43you have
21:44in mind?
21:45These.
21:46Right here,
21:47these.
21:48So I thought
21:49that I was
21:50going to be
21:50stuck playing
21:51solitaire,
21:51there,
21:51so what?
21:53Oh,

21:54talking.
21:55Yeah.
21:55What game
21:56do you want
21:56to play?
21:57Uh,
21:57Crazy Eights.
21:58Crazy Eights?
21:59What are we,

22:01What about

22:05Yeah,
22:06that sounds fun.
22:06Yeah?
22:07Yeah.
22:07Okay,
22:08so you're a real
22:08player.
22:09Yes,
22:10don't you know
22:10that by now?
22:11You want to
22:12play for real?
22:13Like,
22:13for money?
22:14Of course,
22:15for money.
22:15Oh,
22:15okay.
22:17And I,
22:17you know
22:18what they say,
22:19unlucky in love
22:20means that...
22:21We're both
22:21lucky at cards,
22:23so...
22:23Yeah,
22:23well,
22:24I'm afraid

22:57that you're
22:58out from
22:58behind the
22:59curtain,
23:00I'm assuming
23:00you want to
23:01start saying
23:01there's no
23:02place like
23:03home and
23:03walk the
23:04golden
23:04road

23:06Genoa City,

23:09Go on.
23:10You know,
23:11the power
23:11dynamic has
23:12shifted
23:12tremendously
23:13in Genoa City,
23:14you know that?
23:16Victor still
23:16runs Newman,
23:18Jack still
23:18runs Jabot.
23:19Yeah,
23:20but there's
23:21a lot of
23:21twists and
23:22turns in
23:22the hulls
23:23of the
23:23C-suites.
23:25So what
23:26you're offering

23:28I'm offering
23:29my expertise
23:30so you

23:32help navigating
23:33through the
23:34landmines.
23:35That sounds
23:36like my job.
23:36Well,
23:36your job is
23:37legal.
23:39Mine is on
23:39a personal
23:40level,
23:41as needed,
23:42you know,

23:44into Genoa City.
23:45Well,
23:48that's a
23:48temporary
23:48arrangement
23:49at best.
23:50Is that
23:50really what
23:51you want?
23:52It doesn't
23:52matter what
23:52I want,
23:53it matters
23:53what you
23:54want.
23:54What do
23:54you think
23:55that is?
23:57You want
23:57Chancellor.
24:08Three jacks.
24:09Wow,
24:11that's
24:11really good.
24:13Yeah,
24:14you almost
24:14got me.
24:15I have a
24:16straight.
24:18Wait,
24:19I haven't
24:20won a
24:21single hand.
24:22Yeah,
24:22I know,
24:23you haven't.
24:24I think we
24:24should quit
24:25because I
24:25feel like you
24:26haven't even
24:27started at
24:27Winters and
24:28I might have
24:28to garnish
24:28your wages
24:29already,
24:29but it's
24:29very embarrassing.
24:30No,
24:30no,
24:31by the time
24:31the song
24:32comes up,
24:32you're going
24:33to be signing
24:33your paycheck
24:34over to me.
24:35Really?
24:35You think
24:36we're going
24:36to be playing
24:36that long?
24:38However long
24:38it takes
24:39for me
24:39to beat
24:39you,
24:39yeah.
24:41Did you
24:42play a lot
24:42of poker
24:42growing up?
24:44Yeah,
24:45I did.
24:46You know,
24:46if there was
24:46a card game
24:48to be played,
24:48I knew it.
24:50And I'll tell
24:51you,
24:51my parents
24:52were so
24:52competitive.
24:54They would
24:55fight,
24:55you know,
24:56like most
24:56couples do,
24:57but they
24:59never held
24:59a grudge
25:00and at
25:02the end,
25:03they'd each
25:04rather be
25:04together
25:05than to be
25:06right.
25:07So,
25:07at the end
25:08they would
25:09always just
25:09kiss and make
25:10up.
25:11Wow,
25:12sounds like
25:12Amy and
25:12Jackson were
25:13very lucky
25:14in love.
25:16So,
25:17did you play
25:18a lot of
25:18games growing
25:18up?
25:20Uh,
25:21not cards,
25:23but Devon
25:24and I played
25:24Monopoly a lot.
25:26But he loved
25:26all the properties
25:27and I loved
25:28the railroads.
25:30Sounds a lot
25:31like Kane.
25:33What do you
25:33mean?
25:33my old
25:35boss
25:36has the
25:37deeds to
25:38a lot
25:38of
25:38properties.
25:40Yeah,
25:41and I guess
25:41in a way
25:42he owns
25:43his own
25:43railroad.
25:45Maybe he
25:46built this
25:46to impress
25:47you.
25:49No,
25:49I doubt
25:50it.
25:50No?
25:51But no,
25:52Kane and I
25:52did,
25:52we played
25:53poker when
25:54the kids
25:54were sleeping
25:54and,
25:56uh,
25:56yeah,
25:57I got
25:57pretty good
25:57at it.
25:58He got
25:58good at
25:59not letting
25:59me know
26:00what he
26:00was holding
26:00and,
26:02you know,
26:02which is
26:02great in
26:03cards,
26:03not great
26:04in a
26:04relationship.
26:06Sorry,
26:06I was supposed
26:07to be
26:07taking your
26:08mind off
26:08the guy.
26:09No,
26:09it's okay.
26:10You are.
26:10You're letting
26:10me win.
26:13It's okay.
26:13Pick up
26:14your cards.
26:17Oh.
26:17Okay.
26:19Sorry,
26:19we probably
26:20shouldn't even
26:20play.
26:21What?
26:22I have a
26:22pair of
26:22bases.
26:25Damn!
26:27Really?
26:28What?
26:28I'm sorry.
26:29I'm sorry.
26:30I just,
26:30you can't
26:31win.
26:32You can't.
26:33Okay,
26:33well,
26:34maybe we
26:34just need
26:35to change
26:35the game.
26:37Uh,
26:38how about
26:40we,
26:40uh,
26:41play a game
26:42with my
26:42speed?
26:44Connor
26:45has been
26:45asking what
26:46Victor and
26:47Nikki are
26:47doing for
26:47the 4th of
26:48July.
26:49He would
26:49like them
26:50to throw
26:50a barbecue
26:51at the
26:52ranch.
26:54Connor
26:54wants to
26:55have a
26:55party.
26:56Yeah.
26:57With a few
26:57of his
26:57friends.
26:58Oh,
26:58not just
26:59a few.
27:00No,
27:00no.
27:01He wants
27:01his entire
27:02soccer team,
27:03baseball team,
27:04a bunch of
27:04friends from
27:05school,
27:06including some
27:06girls.
27:09I want all
27:10those people
27:11and fireworks.
27:14Oh,
27:14it's a lot of
27:14stimulation,
27:15but he
27:16swears he'll
27:16be okay.
27:18Well,
27:19I believe
27:20he will be.
27:21Good.
27:22I do,
27:23too.
27:23I wasn't sure
27:24if I was
27:25going to have
27:25to talk you
27:25into it.
27:27You know,
27:28our son has
27:28come a long
27:30way with
27:31his OCD.
27:34Yeah.
27:37Yet,
27:38you're the
27:39only one
27:39obsessively
27:40checking your
27:40phone every
27:41time you
27:41think I'm
27:41not looking.
27:42Adam,
27:43everybody is
27:44asleep at
27:45that chateau,
27:46including your
27:46father.
27:47Yeah,
27:47which is why
27:48I need to keep
27:49watch over
27:49things here
27:50until I can
27:50alert him of
27:51this potential
27:51threat.
27:52Okay,
27:59clearly you're
27:59not going to
28:00forget about
28:00this tonight,
28:01so why don't
28:01we just put
28:02together our
28:02collective energies
28:03and try to
28:04figure out what
28:05Juma's up to.
28:06Wait a minute.
28:08Really?
28:08Yeah,
28:09really.
28:10Clearly making
28:10small talk with
28:11you isn't
28:11working.
28:13Besides,
28:14if we want to
28:15avoid Victor's
28:16anger over the
28:17fact that we
28:17didn't release
28:18those hit pieces,
28:19the best thing
28:20we can do is
28:21try to find him
28:21some answers
28:22about what
28:22Juma's really
28:23up to.
28:25Or maybe we
28:26could even
28:26stop Juma
28:27from whatever
28:28he's got
28:29planned.
28:31Why would
28:31Phyllis think
28:32I have any
28:32interest in
28:33Chancellor?
28:34She did not
28:35get that from
28:36me.
28:37I didn't get
28:38it from her.
28:40I'm just
28:41that good.
28:42I know what
28:42you're thinking
28:43before you even
28:43say it.
28:44Or Billy Abbott
28:44said something
28:45to you.
28:45I'm never
28:46going to
28:47reveal a
28:47source.
28:50Okay.
28:50let's just
28:52say for
28:52argument's
28:52sake I
28:53am interested
28:53in
28:53Chancellor.
28:56How are
28:57you going to
28:57help me get
28:58it?
28:59Would you
29:00know that
29:00Billy and I
29:01were set to
29:01take Chancellor
29:02to another
29:02level when
29:04Jill sold the
29:05company to
29:06Victor, right?
29:07Yeah, Billy and I
29:07spoke about that.
29:09Could you talk to
29:09Jill?
29:10You tell me,
29:11since you can
29:11read my mind.
29:12I say yes.
29:12I'm surprised
29:14that given
29:16Billy's track
29:16record, Jill
29:17would have
29:17ever trusted
29:17him with that
29:18company to
29:18begin with.
29:19Well, definitely.
29:20Definitely.
29:20If I would have
29:21been running it
29:22myself, Jill
29:23would have
29:23never had to
29:23sell it.
29:24You seem a
29:25little too
29:25eager to sell
29:26Billy out,
29:27someone you're
29:27supposed to be
29:27partnering with.
29:28Are you sure
29:28that's a strong
29:29argument?
29:29Let me tell you
29:30something about
29:30Billy.
29:31I had his
29:32back.
29:33He put a
29:33knife in my
29:34back on more
29:35than one
29:35occasion.
29:36So this is
29:36about revenge.
29:37You have
29:37something to
29:38prove.
29:38I don't have
29:38anything to
29:39prove.
29:40Not to
29:41Billy.
29:41me, not
29:42to you.
29:44This is about
29:45what's best for
29:46Chancellor.
29:48And since I
29:49am the best,
29:50it's me.
29:58So do you
29:59have any
30:00threes?
30:03Go fish.
30:07I got a
30:10three.
30:10I win
30:12again.
30:13I win.
30:14Oh my god.
30:15You know
30:15what?
30:16Your reaction
30:16to winning is
30:17actually better
30:18than what you
30:18owe me.
30:20What?
30:21Really?
30:22So what?
30:23You want to
30:23stop now when
30:24I'm on the
30:25road?
30:25Lily, you're
30:26not going to
30:26let me dig my
30:27way out the
30:27hole?
30:27What?
30:28I destroy you
30:29at poker.
30:29You destroy me
30:30at go fish.
30:31Okay, but it
30:32shows who the
30:32better strategist
30:33is.
30:33I don't want to
30:34rub it in your
30:34face.
30:35Okay, that's so
30:36big of you.
30:37Yeah.
30:37All right.
30:38But I'm going to
30:39pay my debt.
30:39Okay, I won't
30:41take any charity.
30:42It's not charity.
30:43Okay, you really
30:44helped me take
30:45my mind off
30:46things, so I owe
30:46you.
30:48Man, you know,
30:50aside from the
30:52total nervous
30:53breakdown that my
30:55claustrophobia gave
30:56me inside that
30:57hedge maze, you know,
30:59I have a really
31:00good time here.
31:01You know, great
31:02food, even better
31:04wine, and in some
31:06cases, the best
31:07company.
31:09This is the most
31:10fun I've had since
31:11I've left Genoa
31:12City, so thank
31:14you, Lily.
31:15Yeah, I know.
31:16I don't want the
31:17night to end like
31:18this.
31:18Me neither.
31:21Well, one of us
31:22needs to leave this
31:22train with bragging
31:23rights.
31:24Okay, so one more
31:27hand?
31:28Okay, one more
31:29hand.
31:29No, no, no, no,
31:30no, no, no, no.
31:31I'm going to deal so
31:32I can turn my luck
31:33around.
31:34Okay?
31:35It's my turn.
31:35Here's your wish.
31:39We need to figure
31:40out what game do
31:42Ma's playing.
31:44He already showed
31:45his cards by buying
31:47up all the local
31:48real estate.
31:49But why?
31:51You know, the man's
31:52mysterious, starting
31:54with his identity.
31:55Yeah.
31:57Try to figure out
31:58his identity.
31:59And then he went
32:00to dad and he tried
32:01to get him to back
32:02off Billy.
32:03That do Ma was
32:05Tucker McCall.
32:06It was an educated
32:07guess, but your dad
32:08did seem to know who
32:09the billionaire recluse
32:11really is.
32:12He seemed to know,
32:13and I tried to find
32:14out, but he was not
32:15in the sharing mood.
32:17Well, Pop seldom
32:18is.
32:20But it would help to
32:21know who we're
32:22dealing with.
32:23We don't know, so
32:24we need to focus on
32:25what we do know.
32:27We really do love a
32:28good mystery about
32:29it was.
32:30With all due respect
32:30to the adventures
32:32of Alexander Dumas,
32:34this is all starting
32:35to feel like an
32:35Agatha Christie novel.
32:38To solve a mystery,
32:39you need to identify
32:40means, motive,
32:41opportunity.
32:44Well, Dumas is
32:45definitely a man of
32:46means.
32:47And he has the
32:47opportunity.
32:48He's buying up all
32:49of his property while
32:50everyone has left
32:50Genoa City.
32:52But what is his
32:53motive?
32:54Is he planning to
32:55bring his operations
32:56to Genoa City?
32:57Well, to do that,
32:58he wouldn't have to
32:59purchase these
32:59particular properties.
33:01You know about
33:02mysteries, but I do
33:03know a little bit
33:04about real estate,
33:05and it's all about
33:07location, location,
33:09location.
33:11And in this case,
33:12these are buildings
33:14surrounding businesses
33:15owned by the
33:16Newmans and the
33:16Abbots.
33:18And surrounding
33:18is something that
33:20you do to an enemy.
33:21before you go in
33:22for the kill.
33:26I have a killer
33:27instinct.
33:28And you know
33:29that about me.
33:30That's what you need
33:31to run Chancellor.
33:32Do you know?
33:33Yes.
33:34I do.
33:35You know I do.
33:36Listen, Victor
33:37bought the company
33:39so he could give it
33:40to his wife.
33:41So she could play
33:42CEO all day long.
33:44I know how to run
33:45Chancellor.
33:46You do?
33:47Yes, I do.
33:48You know what?
33:49You know what I do?
33:50I would hire Amanda.
33:53I would hire her.
33:54But not as an attorney.
33:56I'd put her in a
33:57top executive position.
33:59Interesting.
34:00You gave me no
34:01indication that you
34:01were so unhappy
34:02in your current
34:03position.
34:04Yeah, Phyllis floated
34:05this idea by me,
34:06but I expressed
34:06no interest
34:08whatsoever.
34:09And yet you
34:09arranged for your
34:10friend to be here
34:10to pitch herself
34:11to lead Chancellor
34:12and to suggest you
34:13for a supporting role.
34:14You're right.
34:14Phyllis is my friend,
34:17one of my best
34:18friends, and she
34:19has been through
34:19a lot this year,
34:20so I just think
34:23she's a little
34:23desperate.
34:23I'm not desperate.
34:24I'm not desperate.
34:26I'm not desperate.
34:31I've never been
34:32desperate.
34:33There's no fear
34:35in me.
34:35I mean, I don't
34:36smell of fear.
34:37Take a whiff.
34:39I'll take your
34:39word for it.
34:39Okay, good.
34:41What I am
34:41is bold.
34:43I'm fearless.
34:44I'm intrepid.
34:45That I will confirm,
34:47but I want to go
34:47on record as saying
34:48I love my job.
34:50It's okay to be
34:51ambitious.
34:51For the record,
34:52I think you would
34:52make an excellent
34:53executive.
34:54Yes, she would.
34:55So we're in
34:56agreement.
34:58What you should do
34:59is make some
35:00brilliant move
35:01to get Chancellor
35:02back from Victor
35:03and we would
35:05literally be in
35:07business.
35:10Well, I am, uh,
35:11I'm very sorry
35:12to burst your
35:12bubble, Phyllis,
35:13but if I were
35:13interested in
35:14acquiring Chancellor,
35:15it would be with
35:16a very different
35:17endgame in mind.
35:25Oh, my gosh.
35:27Are you kidding?
35:28You hustled me.
35:29You were terrible
35:30at poker.
35:31And yet,
35:32I'm the master
35:32of go fish.
35:33I told you
35:34I was lucky
35:34at Carson.
35:35Oh, my God.
35:35No, I'm just tired.
35:37I'm tired.
35:38Okay, well,
35:39anytime you want
35:40to play,
35:40day and night,
35:41I'm here.
35:42Okay.
35:43Yeah.
35:44So you sure
35:45you don't want
35:45to stay around
35:46so you can
35:47catch the sunrise?
35:49I would love to,
35:50but I think
35:51I'm going to fall
35:52asleep as soon
35:52as my head
35:53hits the pillow.
35:54Got it.
35:54But I will be up
35:55early to pack
35:56and get out of here.
35:58Yeah.
35:58Well, Divine,
35:59Abby, and I
36:00will be right there
36:00with you.
36:02Thank you again.
36:03For what?
36:04For whooping
36:04your cards?
36:05Oh, okay.
36:07I guess bragging rights
36:08started.
36:08Yes, they did.
36:09So I guess
36:10you're going to
36:11have to find
36:11some way
36:11to shut me up.
36:13I will definitely
36:14think about that.
36:15Well, you let me
36:16know what you
36:16come up with.
36:18I will.
36:19Good night, Damien.
36:21Good night, Lily.
36:22Good night, Lily.
36:22Good night, Lily.
36:22Good night, Lily.
36:24Good night, Lily.
36:30What is your endgame?
36:37You know, it's been
36:38my practice not to
36:39comment on corporate
36:40takeovers, hypothetical
36:41or otherwise.
36:45Okay.
36:47We like your secrets.
36:49I get it.
36:50Yeah.
36:51I understand.
36:52So everything that we
36:54say is between the
36:55three of us, and you
36:55know it's going to die
36:56with me.
36:57Okay.
36:57You will die with me.
36:59So how about this?
37:01Um, I know the hypothetical
37:06company that you'd like
37:09to take over, and I have
37:12intel to help you
37:15hypothetically make it
37:19yours.
37:20You know what, Phyllis?
37:24I admire your directness
37:27and your ambition, and as
37:29you so clearly stated, your
37:31fearlessness, I always
37:32have.
37:34So to you, Phyllis, maybe
37:37there is a place for you in
37:38my organization, but I'm
37:41going to sleep on it.
37:42It's time for me to turn
37:43in.
37:46I'd advise you both not to
37:47stay out too late.
37:48Those clouds look pretty
37:49threatening.
37:51Great.
37:52Well, it was a nice talk.
37:55See you tomorrow.
37:57We'll have another one.
38:04What?
38:05What?
38:07You want me to say thank
38:08you, thank you, a million
38:09times, thank you?
38:10What the hell is wrong
38:11with you?
38:13What are you talking
38:14about?
38:14I'm trying to get a job.
38:16By jeopardizing mine?
38:18Do you ever think about
38:20anyone other than yourself?
38:25It's clear that Dumas' intent
38:27is less than friendly.
38:29Victor prides himself on
38:31always being ten steps ahead
38:32of any rival.
38:33But he didn't see this one
38:34coming.
38:36There's no way that Victor
38:37would allow anybody to buy
38:38so much property around
38:39Newman.
38:39and his initial suspicions
38:43was this was all about
38:45Chancellor.
38:46Maybe.
38:48I just feel like it's about
38:49more than just one company.
38:51I mean, this is a major move.
38:53And whatever his endgame is,
38:55it is clear that
38:56he's bringing it to Genoa City.
38:59He's been great.
39:00He's beenном
