00:00Hi.
00:04Nice to see you back. I was, uh, I was getting worried.
00:08Yeah, I just had to clear my head.
00:12Not like I could really go anywhere with the road and the train tracks out.
00:17Yeah, I guess so.
00:20What about you?
00:21Did you snag those five minutes with Cain?
00:23Got a backdoor deal to steal Chancellor?
01:00Mr. Dumas?
01:30Can't say anything bad about the food.
01:48Or the wine.
01:50But the rest of it, whatever game Cain is playing, the fact that the roads and the
01:55tracks are washed out, no cell service.
01:59Being stuck in paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be.
02:02With our hosts nowhere in sight.
02:05You know what the worst part is?
02:06It's not being able to get a hold of the kids.
02:10Faith.
02:10If I don't get a hold of her soon, you know, she's worried enough about me this past year.
02:16I can't let that happen again.
02:18We'll find a way.
02:19And Raya is going through so much with Tessa.
02:23You know, she's the reason why I hesitated to even come on this trip, and I promised her
02:28that I would be only a phone call away.
02:31What if she tries to get a hold of me, and else she gets this voicemail, or she gets nothing?
02:36We just have to hope we can talk to them soon.
02:38I'm not just worried about the kids.
02:39Vic was never happy that me and mom and dad came on this trip.
02:45If she doesn't hear from us, she's going to send in the Calvary.
02:48Worried about Cole, too.
02:49I mean, I hear he's holding his own, but I just feel like I need to be there for Vic and Claire.
02:55You know, Cain isn't just playing games.
02:59He's playing with our lives.
03:02He's in complete control.
03:03It's almost enough to send me back to being held at the clinic.
03:07Hey, don't do that.
03:08All right, you're okay.
03:10I'm here.
03:11There's family and friends here.
03:14But I agree.
03:15Two hours into this circus, I was ready to go, and the fact that I can't leave is infuriating.
03:20Infuriating?
03:21Talking about Cain, I'm sure.
03:23Yeah, this is beyond infuriating.
03:26Yeah, we were hoping dinner would take our minds off the fact that we're still stuck here.
03:31Would you like to join us?
03:33Yeah.
03:35Yeah, sure.
03:37Lily, would you sit here?
03:38Yeah, give me a chance to get to know you better.
03:40We haven't had much time to talk here.
03:41Well, we've got nothing but time now.
03:44Yeah.
03:45Indeed.
03:46You know, I don't know much beyond the fact that you own my favorite coffee shop, and you two used to be married.
03:53I'm actually far more interested than you right now.
03:58You have a much different history with Cain than we all do.
04:03I'd love to hear the inside story.
04:04Mr. Novak, we finally meet in person.
04:10Thank you for coming so quickly and on short notice.
04:12Have a seat.
04:14Well, it's not every day that the mysterious Aristotle Dumola requests an in-person meeting.
04:20Especially in a public place.
04:23I didn't think this was your style.
04:27Well, it hasn't been.
04:29But that's all about to change.
04:32You've been a big part of it.
04:34Have I?
04:35You did excellent work under Damien at Monte Cristo and Danglers in Los Angeles.
04:39But I've been more impressed by the work you've done for me directly.
04:42I trust you managed to keep our little arrangement under the radar.
04:48I can promise you that no one suspects a thing.
04:55Well, I'm not sure I can tell you much about Cain.
04:59Because I saw him for the first time when the rest of you did.
05:04Yeah, I got all that.
05:05I was, um, I don't know, hoping for more.
05:10In what way?
05:11Some insight as to how his mind works.
05:16We'll make some tick.
05:17You used to work for him.
05:19How'd that go down?
05:20Did he, uh, contact you?
05:22No.
05:24I reached out to him.
05:26Why?
05:27Well, I heard rumblings about an up-and-coming business tycoon
05:32who just recently burst onto the scene.
05:35I mean, the man was gobbling up companies left and right.
05:39Growing is fortunate.
05:40Lightning speed.
05:42I was incredibly impressed by that.
05:46Yeah.
05:47I, uh, I love the idea of going from nothing to something in a very short amount of time.
05:54And I wanted something like that.
05:55So, I called on some of my L.A. connections to have them help me get Dumas, sorry, Cain's attention.
06:08And that actually worked?
06:10Yeah, I'm betting that he, he was onto me from the very beginning.
06:16But he hired you anyway.
06:18Yeah, you know, I got a sense that even though Cain probably sussed out the truth,
06:22that, uh, he saw something in me that resonated.
06:26I was young, I was hungry, I was ready to jumpstart my life, commit to something that I could make my own.
06:36I think he innately knew that he could trust me with his secret.
06:40But in all the years you work with him, can you give me some idea as to how he operates?
06:48Because the Cain that you know is far different from the Cain Ashby that we know.
06:53I have to ask, you being here, from what I understand, right about now you should be hosting a gathering in France
07:07with some of Genoa City's finest citizens, preparing to reveal yourself to them, to the world.
07:14But, here you are.
07:17Well, festivities are proceeding as we speak.
07:20I just wanted to check in, touch base with you, and check in on a few other irons I have planted in fires around town.
07:26Before you get back to your guests, I'm the consummate host.
07:31And they have, they have no idea that you're here.
07:36Hmm.
07:38When you contacted me, the way you spoke at Genoa City caught my attention.
07:43Like, wanting to meet at a local coffee shop instead of a restaurant at a hotel.
07:49It feels like you're very familiar with this town.
07:53More than you know.
07:57It's been a while since I've been here.
08:00It's funny.
08:04How so little has changed.
08:06And yet everything has changed.
08:09I'm still pretty new to the town, but I do see the appeal.
08:15It's a different vibe than L.A.
08:17I actually found myself debating whether I should stay here or head back to Los Angeles when he fired me.
08:23Along with Damien.
08:25It was a necessary step so I could bring you back under the radar.
08:29You certainly made the decision where to live a lot easier when you offered me the job.
08:34Have you told anybody you're working again?
08:36I did as ordered.
08:37I kept my mouth shut.
08:41Honestly, I don't know that many people here, so the secret hasn't been that hard to keep.
08:45And those that I have met...
08:49I've let them believe that I'm searching.
08:52And I'm still unemployed.
08:54Good.
08:55Keep it that way.
08:57Will do.
09:00Thank you again.
09:02For having to fade to hurry back, Mr. Dumas.
09:06You're welcome.
09:07You can call me Cain Ashby.
09:12Aristotle Dumas will soon cease to exist.
09:17I did not strike a deal with Cain.
09:21Is it only because you couldn't find him?
09:23No, I wasn't looking for him.
09:26Even though you seem pretty focused on getting it done?
09:29I can't work out anything with Cain until I fix things with you first.
09:38Okay.
09:40You gonna feed me?
09:41You think that solves everything?
09:43Well, I was assuming that you wouldn't want to get together for the group dinner.
09:46You know?
09:46So besides Phyllis and Victor.
09:48Now you're wrong about that?
09:49Mm-mm.
09:51Will you sit down?
09:53And get comfortable?
09:54I'm really not that hungry.
09:57Okay.
09:58Will you humor me, please?
09:59I think there's something there you're really gonna like.
10:04Please.
10:05Okay.
10:05So while you were out clearing your head, I was running around the train trying to find all the things that you would love.
10:19And I landed on French fries.
10:24French fries?
10:25French fries.
10:26Can't come over to France and not have French fries.
10:28This is the frites experience.
10:30And what you see there is hot sauce.
10:32Not easy to come by.
10:34I had to get Cain's chef to whip something up.
10:37Thankfully, they were willing to experiment.
10:39And this is what we landed on.
10:42Mm.
10:44Very nice.
10:46Would you like to try one?
10:46I know what you're doing.
10:48What am I doing?
10:49I'm sure the French fries are delicious.
10:52Absolutely.
10:52And whatever else you've scavenged from the kitchen,
10:54I'm sure it's just as wonderful.
10:56But this whole distraction thing is not gonna work.
10:57Is that what you think I'm doing here?
10:59I was very clear about what I wanted from you, Billy.
11:03When I said this was a deal breaker, I meant it.
11:05But it's obvious that you're not willing to commit to handing me avid communications if you go after Chancellor with Cain.
11:12So I really don't know where that leaves us.
11:20If you would let me explain...
11:22Billy, there's no need.
11:23The fries say it all.
11:25I mean, it's charming.
11:26And it's fun.
11:27And it's so...
11:28You.
11:30Seriously, to think of me this way.
11:31I mean, even right down to having the...
11:34Chef whip up some hot sauce.
11:36But, I mean, how can I be charmed?
11:38And have fun?
11:39When I know this is your way of blowing me off.
11:41I'm not blowing you off, Celia.
11:42I meant what I said, Billy.
11:43I have gone all in on avid communications.
11:46I don't have a plan B.
11:47This is it.
11:48Launching and running a badass communications company that made people stand up and pay attention.
11:54I want the same thing.
11:56But you don't.
11:58Billy, not anymore.
11:59Chancellor is right out of reach.
12:01And it is so close, it's almost yours.
12:03It's consuming your every thought.
12:07So where does that leave avid communications?
12:10Well...
12:10Or me.
12:11I would explain that if I...
12:14You know, you explained to me at one point recently that you had had so much wisdom and
12:20experience that you knew that you couldn't run avid communications on your own.
12:23And now you're expecting to run Chancellor and Abbott?
12:27It's impossible, Billy.
12:29It's not going to happen.
12:30So if you really want Chancellor, then I'm your solution.
12:34I can take avid communications to the heights that we always dreamed of.
12:38But obviously, you don't trust me.
12:41I trust you.
12:42Really?
12:43The way you trusted Phyllis?
12:46Have we not had this conversation?
12:48Yeah, we have.
12:49Okay.
12:49We have.
12:50And I know where you stand.
12:50Sally.
12:51I know, obviously.
12:52Give me a second here, okay?
12:53Do me a favor.
12:54Look underneath the dessert tray right there.
12:57Just please.
12:58Billy.
12:58I think you'll really like it.
12:59Billy, I don't want a creme brulee or whatever the heck is under there.
13:03I don't want to tell you to look underneath it.
13:04Just look.
13:06Please.
13:18What is that?
13:19Look, guys, I wish I could be of more help, you know, give you the answers that you need.
13:27But honestly, I had very little contact with Cain.
13:32You ran two of his companies for years.
13:36Yeah.
13:36You communicated mostly by email.
13:39There was a phone call every so often.
13:41And the paycheck, of course.
13:43But that was it.
13:45That is so weird.
13:48That never bothered you?
13:51Look, I was making good money for the first time in my life, okay?
13:55I was finally getting my feet under me, building something that I could be proud of.
14:01Yes, I was curious, but there were no red flags, you know, nothing to suggest that Cain was anything but a eccentric billionaire.
14:11So no insight at all?
14:14No, he was a solid boss.
14:17But other than that, he was as mysterious to me as he was to the rest of the world.
14:22I think mysterious is too nice of a word to describe what Cain's been doing.
14:27I mean, hiding behind this Dumas persona?
14:30Who does that unless you have something to hide, right?
14:33I mean, it's disgusting.
14:34Yeah, I really want to know what the catalyst was for Cain to change so much.
14:39You know, why create this bizarre double life?
14:42Why live this lie?
14:43Maybe he never really did change.
14:47He came to Genoa City with a con.
14:50He seemed to reform and turn his life around, but maybe that was the con.
14:56The reformed king that we knew, and maybe now he's gone back to his true nature.
15:04Aristotle Dumas will cease to exist.
15:07What exactly does that mean?
15:09It was a persona that I created so I could stay anonymous while I built my empire.
15:15All those years of mystery, and now you're going public.
15:18I'm curious as to what's changed.
15:22It's all a part of the plan, including returning to Genoa City.
15:28To live?
15:30Yes.
15:32This town must mean a lot to you.
15:35It does.
15:36Until I make the move, I'm going to need you to continue to be my eyes and ears here on the ground.
15:43Final preparations will be absolutely critical.
15:48I'm happy to be of assistance any way that I can.
15:50And I appreciate the work you've done.
15:52Your help in procuring the various properties has been invaluable.
15:55I've got to say, I'm thoroughly impressed by your scope of purchases.
16:02But does that mean that you plan on moving a majority of your businesses here as well?
16:10There's something else I'm going to need from you.
16:14Name?
16:14Well, I appreciate your dedication.
16:18There will be no questions about my intentions.
16:26Go ahead.
16:28I mean, it looks a little chewy.
16:32More unappetizing, if I'm being...
16:33I think you're really going to like it.
16:35I don't know.
16:36Well, you could see it as your daily source of fiber.
16:49Okay, now who's being coy?
17:01I'm just going to write it on my phone and send it to you.
17:04But there's no internet zone.
17:07When I was at school, pened the paper.
17:10It's actually quite difficult to find.
17:11Almost as hard as the hot sauce.
17:16This is what I think it is?
17:19It's an agreement.
17:22That if I ever take over, Chancellor,
17:24you will be CEO of Abbott Communications.
17:28I'll be an advisor and chairman of the board,
17:31but you will be in charge.
17:36And you didn't sign it.
17:43Wanted to make sure you were good with everything on there?
17:45You heard me.
17:53You listened.
17:56You made a compelling argument.
17:58You really didn't have faith in me.
18:00I was never a doubt.
18:07Billy, you've been quiet.
18:08Yeah, sorry.
18:12I just...
18:13I don't know.
18:15It's just been very hard to hear all of this talk about how this man I used to love has changed so drastically.
18:22I mean, I thought I would just spend the rest of my life with him, right?
18:26And now I barely even recognize him.
18:29Or maybe I'm afraid to.
18:32It's probably callous of us to bring it up in front of you.
18:36No, it's fine.
18:38Everything you're saying is true.
18:40I mean, I've asked myself the same questions.
18:43Like, what happened?
18:45When did Cain change?
18:47How?
18:48When he spoke to you alone,
18:50he didn't shed any light on why he's done this,
18:54what his intentions are.
18:56No, he just said things that made no sense.
18:58Like, he wanted to keep this new path separate,
19:02and it was cleaner this way.
19:04What does that even mean?
19:06I don't know.
19:07I have no idea.
19:08He said that one day, you know,
19:10he'll tell me and I'll understand,
19:12but it's like nothing could make me understand this amount of lies and cover-ups.
19:16The shock of all this.
19:17I can't even imagine how you're feeling.
19:20Yeah, I mean, I'm still shocked.
19:23You know, but I'm...
19:24I'm finding some equilibrium,
19:26and Damien has really helped me gain some perspective.
19:31And you've helped me as well.
19:32And Maddie and Charlie,
19:34do they know, not know?
19:36You have no way of even contacting them to find out.
19:39Well, if I could, I wouldn't.
19:42I need to get control of my own emotions before I talk to them.
19:47And plus, you know, they're adults.
19:48They're busy.
19:49They don't call their mom every day.
19:51Yeah, I know the feeling.
19:54I'm actually relieved,
19:55because they know me so well.
19:57If they heard my voice,
19:58they would know something was off.
20:01Well, you want to protect your kids, of course.
20:06I have been in that place far too often recently,
20:10where there were things that I needed to keep for my kids.
20:14I thought that was the best way to protect them.
20:17So I understand how difficult it is.
20:21Well, what's even more difficult
20:22is being forced to face Cain and his stupid games every day.
20:28I'm sending you a list of names.
20:40People I want you to connect with,
20:44getting their confidence.
20:45No problem.
20:52Adam Neumann, Chelsea Lawson, Mariah Copeland.
20:57Claire Neumann.
20:59I've already made real inroads with Claire Neumann.
21:01Nice young woman.
21:03Good to know.
21:04Are there any specific things you'd like me to focus on?
21:07Likes, dislikes, habits, interests, good or bad?
21:10That will come.
21:11For now, just make the connections.
21:13How you go about that, that's your business.
21:15Just don't let it track back to me.
21:18That will be the priority.
21:20Good.
21:21I don't have to tell you.
21:24Just be casual, likable, non-threatening.
21:28You're good-looking, you're a new guy in town,
21:30and you're just trying to get to know people.
21:32There's no reason for people to be suspicious
21:33or not take the bait.
21:36Well, making friends is an area I excel in,
21:41so consider it done.
21:54Thank you for this.
21:57For giving me the backup.
21:59I need to feel secure.
22:01Look, we've been through a lot.
22:02Together, in a short amount of time,
22:06and I want you to feel secure.
22:10I want you to know that I value you.
22:12Your brain, your instincts, all of it.
22:16And I trust you with Avid Communications.
22:20Because even though it's a dream
22:23to get Avid Communications running,
22:25taking back Chancellor means more.
22:28A lot has to go right for that to happen.
22:30You know, there's a lot of moving parts.
22:33Things need to fall into place.
22:35One being Victor, his grimy hands
22:37are still on the company that he stole from me.
22:41Look, I know you really want this.
22:46But Cain has already walked away
22:48from making a grab at Chancellor.
22:52Things are different now.
22:53I know who I'm dealing with.
22:58And I am confident
23:00that Cain and I can make it happen
23:02before Victor even knows we'd hit him.
23:04Even given your history?
23:08Look, Cain's a thorn, right?
23:09There's no doubt about that.
23:11His lies, his cons,
23:13they cause damage, no question.
23:16It did not make it easy
23:17for my relationship with my mother.
23:19In fact, she pitted us against each other
23:21most of the time taking his side.
23:24Okay.
23:24Well, this isn't making me
23:26feel encouraged
23:27to have you two teaming up together.
23:29I understand your concern.
23:32But Cain's initial proposition
23:34in this invitation,
23:36it means something.
23:38Like what?
23:44Cain gathering everyone together.
23:48It's as if he wants an audience
23:49from when he takes down the big man.
23:53With your help?
23:55If it happens,
23:57when it happens,
24:00I'll be on top of Chancellor.
24:03And you'll be in charge
24:04of Abbott Communications,
24:05building it into the powerhouse
24:06we always dreamed it would be.
24:09You mean that?
24:12I've won a Chancellor
24:12for a long time.
24:15It's been a dream.
24:19And I want you to have your dream.
24:20That is a pretty intriguing
24:27collection of names.
24:29Well, you know enough
24:30about Geneva City
24:31to realize that.
24:32I can see I picked
24:32the right person for the job.
24:36Adam and Chelsea
24:37run Newman Media.
24:40Raya works for Cassidy
24:41for its technology,
24:42and Claire Newman
24:43is Nikki Newman's assistant
24:44at Chancellor Industries.
24:46Those are their jobs.
24:48that I'm not
24:50picking up any obvious
24:52overlap there.
24:54Unless
24:54maybe it's personal.
24:58Overarching Newman connection.
25:01Or is it
25:01you just want to get your fingers
25:02on all of
25:03the Geneva City pies?
25:06You do remember
25:07the part about no questions.
25:11My apologies.
25:13Habit.
25:13I understand
25:15your instinct
25:15to want to learn.
25:17In fact,
25:18I applaud it.
25:20But I will not tolerate
25:21the prying into
25:23or questioning
25:23of my business decisions.
25:24All you need to know
25:25is I move
25:26strategically.
25:28Every action
25:29meticulously thought out
25:31to gain the result
25:32that I want.
25:34Which will also
25:35not be questioned.
25:38I won't make
25:38that mistake again.
25:40I'm here to do
25:41whatever you require of me.
25:42No questions asked.
25:45Good.
25:47Because I have
25:48another assignment for you.
25:50Okay.
25:51I want you to tell me
25:52everything you know
25:53about your buddy Damien
25:54and his relationship
25:58with Lily Winters.
26:00I mean,
26:01Cain brought us here
26:02for this big reveal.
26:04Why not just tell us
26:05what the point of it is?
26:06It's got to be more
26:07than just him
26:08coming home
26:09to Genoa City.
26:10And how do you
26:11feel about that?
26:13Well, for once,
26:14I actually agree
26:15with Victor.
26:15I think that Cain
26:16should stay as far
26:17away from Genoa City
26:19as possible.
26:20I'm still trying
26:20to figure it all out.
26:21I mean,
26:22why is he hiding
26:22behind the name
26:23and the mystery?
26:27Is he trying
26:28to prove something?
26:29If that's the case,
26:30to whom?
26:31To us?
26:31Himself?
26:32I know a billionaire
26:34cannot control
26:35the weather,
26:35but the fact that
26:36we are all stranded
26:37here conveniently?
26:39Well, convenient
26:39for him,
26:40not for us.
26:42Without being able
26:43to contact our families,
26:44it's making me
26:45feel a little uneasy.
26:47Hey, I told you,
26:49you're gonna be fine.
26:50Okay?
26:51You're good.
26:52This is just some guy
26:53putting on a big show,
26:55and as soon as the roads
26:56and the train tracks
26:57are passable,
26:58we're out of here.
26:59Well, as much as
27:00I want to run from here
27:01and never look back,
27:02I'm not leaving
27:04until Cain gives me
27:05some answers.
27:06Look, all this talk
27:06about Cain's lies,
27:08his subterfuge,
27:09his motives.
27:10Look, we can ask why
27:11and how all day long,
27:13but we'll probably
27:14never get a satisfactory
27:15answer.
27:16Agreed.
27:17If one existed,
27:18I think we would have
27:18already heard it by now.
27:20Well, I know you're right,
27:21but I just...
27:22I need to make sense
27:24of all of this.
27:26If for no other reason
27:27and then to have something
27:28to explain to Maddie
27:29and Charlie.
27:30After everything
27:31that Cain has put you through,
27:33you deserve the truth,
27:34and you shouldn't
27:35have to fight for it.
27:36You, more than anyone,
27:37deserves to know
27:38the reason for Cain
27:39doing all this.
27:40I don't disagree.
27:43But instead of putting
27:45our focus on
27:46what Cain has already done,
27:47I think we should be
27:49focusing on what
27:50he's gonna do
27:50moving forward.
27:52Okay?
27:52Maybe the question
27:53that we need to be
27:54asking ourselves
27:55isn't how or why
27:56he became
27:57Aristotle Dumas
27:58or what Cain Ashby
28:01is gonna do.
28:02Especially now that
28:03we all know
28:04who he is.
28:14Lily Winters.
28:16Damien is falling for her
28:17and hard.
28:19It sounds like
28:20you know him well.
28:20Oh, yeah.
28:22I've known the guy
28:23for years.
28:24We were friends
28:25long before I worked for him.
28:27I think that's actually
28:28one of the reasons
28:28why he hired me.
28:30You know,
28:30he could trust me.
28:32That I'd always
28:32have his back.
28:34And knowing him
28:35as you do,
28:36you think that there's
28:38a...
28:38an attraction?
28:40Zero doubt in my mind.
28:42All the years
28:43that I've known Damien,
28:44I have never seen him
28:45show a woman
28:45this kind of interest.
28:47Really?
28:48Usually,
28:49when he sees
28:50somebody that he likes,
28:51Damien puts on the charm,
28:52wins the woman over,
28:53and the relationship lasts
28:54as long as it lasts.
28:57But I get a whole
28:59different vibe
28:59when it comes to Lily.
29:03Then is that
29:03vibe
29:05reciprocated?
29:07I couldn't tell you.
29:09But what I do know
29:10is that Damien felt
29:11a connection to her
29:13straight out of the gate.
29:15That man was ready
29:16to walk away
29:16from his dying mother
29:17and new half-brother,
29:19head back to Los Angeles.
29:22And then he met her.
29:23And that was it.
29:25And that woman
29:26is a big reason
29:27why Damien stayed in town.
29:30Interesting.
29:33Can I at least ask,
29:35since this
29:36doesn't seem to be
29:37about business,
29:39why do you care?
29:41Lily and I
29:49have history.
29:53I feel protective of her.
29:55And Damien
29:56seems like a player.
29:58The way he's feeling
29:59about Lily,
30:00that might be past tense.
30:02Nonetheless,
30:03I don't want there
30:05to be any chance
30:06that Lily can get hurt.
30:06I mean,
30:09I have to admit,
30:09I'm asking myself
30:10the same questions,
30:11right?
30:12The what now questions.
30:13Like,
30:14what does Cain have planned?
30:16What is,
30:17why is he doing this?
30:17I mean,
30:18he's already amassed
30:18this fortune
30:19and has power.
30:21It's like,
30:21what else is he after?
30:23It has to be more
30:24than just,
30:25I'm coming home
30:26in Genoa City.
30:27I don't know Cain
30:28as well as you all do,
30:29but is it possible
30:31that this could be
30:33all there is to it?
30:34I mean,
30:35I highly doubt that.
30:36Every move
30:37that Cain has made
30:38has been calculated
30:39and shrouded in secrecy.
30:41There's just no chance
30:42that this has led
30:43to nothing more
30:44than I'm coming home.
30:46Well,
30:46I keep going back
30:48to his pseudonym.
30:50Aristotle Dumas.
30:51Yeah,
30:52he had to have picked it
30:53for a reason.
30:54But what is it?
30:56Well,
30:57Monte Cristo
30:58and Danglers
30:59were the names
30:59of the companies
31:00I ran for.
31:01Yeah,
31:02and in The Count
31:04of Monte Cristo,
31:05the protagonist,
31:06Edmund Dante,
31:07he comes back to town
31:08to seek revenge.
31:10Well,
31:10that's not comforting
31:11at all.
31:13I agree.
31:14I mean,
31:14this has Colin's
31:15fingerprints all over it.
31:17Colin,
31:17yeah.
31:18Well,
31:18I guess Cain
31:19told my dad
31:20that Colin
31:20was an integral part
31:22of building
31:22this new empire
31:23and it was all
31:25legitimate.
31:27Yeah,
31:28right.
31:28Legitimate businessmen
31:29don't have to hide
31:29their identity
31:30or have a vicious
31:32con man as a partner.
31:34Cain clearly
31:35has an agenda
31:36that is way more
31:37involved than he's
31:38revealed to us
31:39and we all need
31:40to be prepared
31:41for that.
31:43Celebration,
31:44a toast to dreams
31:45coming true.
31:48No matter how
31:49we get them.
31:51And to you
31:52and your potential
31:53new position
31:54as CEO
31:55of Avid Communications.
31:59you know,
32:03you're proving
32:04another one of my points
32:05with all this.
32:06Yeah?
32:06What's that?
32:07That Avid was
32:08just a distraction.
32:10A way not to think
32:11about losing Chancellor.
32:14Hmm.
32:15I wouldn't say
32:16it's that black and white.
32:18Starting Avid Communications
32:20was definitely
32:21my future.
32:23but when Cain called,
32:26well,
32:28that
32:28put a wrench
32:30in the spoke
32:31of that plan.
32:32Big enough
32:33to derail you
32:34from the dream
32:35of creating a company
32:36that you could shape
32:37100% from the ground up?
32:41Starting a company
32:42from the ground up
32:43was a lot more exciting
32:44than I even expected.
32:45There's no doubt about it.
32:46But when Cain
32:50called in the potential
32:52of being
32:52back at the helm
32:53of Chancellor,
32:54well,
32:54I realized
32:55that I wasn't
32:55over-losing.
32:58Or how it happened.
33:01You want revenge?
33:03I want what's
33:04rightfully mine.
33:07And if Victor
33:07goes down
33:08in the process,
33:09well,
33:11it's got me.
33:16Look,
33:19I know
33:19you're not
33:19fully on board
33:20with me
33:21joining forces
33:21with Cain
33:22to take down
33:22Victor,
33:23but
33:23it's going
33:25to be great
33:25for you
33:25as CEO
33:27of Avid Communications.
33:28It is?
33:29Yeah.
33:31When we take
33:32down the big man
33:32and we rip
33:33Chancellor out
33:34of his hands,
33:34it's going
33:34to be a hell
33:35of a story
33:35when you can
33:37splash across
33:38all your platforms.
33:39I mean,
33:39come on.
33:40Can't pay
33:40for press like that.
33:42Yeah,
33:42I mean,
33:43it's definitely
33:43going to put
33:43Avid Communications
33:44on the map,
33:45but I can't say
33:45it won't come
33:46without a cost.
33:47Victor's ego
33:48gutted for the world
33:49to see?
33:50I'd line up
33:51for that.
33:52This is what
33:53I'm talking about,
33:54Billy.
33:54Hmm.
33:56Revenge is clearly
33:57at the top
33:57of your list.
33:59That never
34:00ends well.
34:02I won't lean
34:03into it.
34:04Won't bring it
34:05up again.
34:06That doesn't mean
34:07it's not what's
34:08driving you.
34:10I'm only
34:11looking ahead.
34:13All I see
34:14is good things.
34:16starting
34:18with this.
34:19Starting
34:20with this.
34:20TANDIL.
34:47TANDIL.
34:48Not quite.
35:14Thank you for being my partner in all this.
35:18So, there is one thing we might want to be prepared for.
35:31If you know something, Lily, tell us.
35:34Well, Devon told me that Kane has claimed someone here might try to kill him.
35:41What?
35:43Kill him?
35:44Kill him.
35:44Okay.
35:45Now we've jumped the shark.
35:46You're telling me Chance was invited here to be Kane's personal in-house detective.
35:51Exactly.
35:51Do you honestly believe that threat is real?
35:54Of course not.
35:56I mean, Kane has upset some people, but, well, we're not going to try to kill him.
35:59I assumed this whole gathering was about Kane trying to make some kind of business deal,
36:06but now, who knows what he really wants?
36:09Well, Kane did go to my dad.
36:11He wanted to buy Chancellor from him.
36:12My dad turned him down flat, so that's a dead end.
36:15It's not the only dead end he'll find in Genoa City.
36:18If Kane's smart, he'll respect my dad's decision.
36:21If Kane were smart, he would have never started this Dumas venture in the first place.
36:25I mean, to be at the hands of someone who's just so intent on messing with our minds, it's disturbing.
36:33And my heart goes out to you for everything that you're going through.
36:38But, things could be worse.
36:42Yeah, of course.
36:45I'm sorry, Sharon.
36:48I mean, yeah, at least we're not at the hands of a crazed maniac.
36:52I mean, look, what's the worst that Kane could do?
36:56Right?
36:56Keeps us trapped here long enough to steal all of our businesses in Genoa City?
37:00You're clear on what I need you to do?
37:08I'll make it happen.
37:10Good.
37:11Well, thank you again for the opportunity.
37:16I promise I won't disappoint you.
37:18I'm sure you won't.
37:19I'll be in touch.
37:20Okay.
37:30Did you know this is my favorite song?
37:43Oh, it is?
37:45I had no idea.
37:47Don't you know?
37:49Whatever song is playing while you're in my arms is my favorite song.
37:53It's like magic come true.
37:57An ordinary day with you.
38:07Kane?
38:11When did you get back in town?
