00:00Hi.
00:05Nice to see you back. I was getting worried.
00:08Yeah, I just had to clear my head.
00:13Not like I could really go anywhere with the road and the train tracks out.
00:17Yeah, I guess.
00:20What about you? Did you snag those five minutes with Cain? Cut a backdoor deal to steal Chancellor?
00:30Do you want to go anywhere with Cain?
00:36I know.
00:45I know.
00:47Mr. Dmar?
01:17Mr. Dmar can't say anything bad about the food or the wine.
01:47But the rest of it, whatever game Cain is playing, the fact that the roads and the tracks are washed out, no cell service.
01:56Being stuck in paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be.
02:00With our hardware in sight.
02:02Maybe what the worst part is, not being able to get a hold of the kids.
02:07Faith, if I don't get a hold of her soon, you know, she's worried enough about me this past year.
02:13I can't let that happen again.
02:15We'll find a way.
02:16And Raya is going through so much with Tessa.
02:21You know, she's the reason why I hesitated to even come on this trip.
02:24And I promised her that I would be only a phone call.
02:27What if she tries to get a hold of me and else she gets this voicemail or she gets nothing?
02:32It's up to hope we can talk to him soon.
02:34I'm not just worried about the kids.
02:37Vic was never happy that me and mom and dad came on this trip.
02:41If she doesn't hear from us, she's going to send in the Calvary.
02:44Worried about Cole, too.
02:45I mean, I hear he's holding his own, but I just feel like I need to be there for Vic and Claire.
02:49You know, Cain isn't just playing games.
02:55He's playing with our lives.
02:58He's in control.
02:59It's almost enough to send me back to being held at the clinic.
03:02Hey, don't do that.
03:04All right, you're okay.
03:05I'm here.
03:07There's family and friends here.
03:08But I agree.
03:10Two hours into this circus, I was ready to go.
03:13And the fact that I leave is infuriating.
03:15Infuriating?
03:16Talking about Cain, I'm sure.
03:19Yes, it's beyond infuriating.
03:21Yeah, we were hoping dinner would take our minds off the fact that we're still stuck here.
03:26Would you like to join us?
03:28Yeah.
03:29Yeah, sure.
03:31Lily, did you sit here?
03:33Give me a chance to get to know you better.
03:35We haven't had much time to talk here.
03:36Well, we've got nothing but time now.
03:38Yeah, indeed.
03:41You know, I don't know much beyond the fact that you own my favorite coffee shop and you two used to be married.
03:49I'm actually far more interested than you right now.
03:53You have a much different history with Cain than we all do.
03:57I'd love to hear the inside story.
04:01Mr. Novak, we finally meet in person.
04:04Thank you for coming so quickly and on short notice.
04:07Have a seat.
04:08Well, it's not every day that the mysterious Aristotle do request an in-person meeting, especially in a public place.
04:18I didn't think this was your style.
04:21Well, it hasn't been.
04:21But that's all about to change.
04:25You've been a big part of it.
04:28Have I?
04:29You did excellent work under Damien at Monte Cristo and Danglers in Los Angeles, but I've been...
04:34Have I?
04:34You did excellent work under Damien at Monte Cristo and Danglers in Los Angeles, but I've been more impressed by the work you've done for me directly.
04:42I trust you've managed to keep our little arrangement under the radar.
04:48I can promise you that no one suspects a thing.
04:50Well, I'm not sure I can tell you much about Cain.
04:55Because I saw him for the first time when the rest of you did.
04:58Yeah, I got all that.
05:01I was, uh...
05:02I don't know, hoping for more.
05:05In what way?
05:06Some insight as to how his mind works.
05:10What makes him tick?
05:12You used to work for him.
05:13How'd that go down?
05:14Did he, uh, contact you?
05:16Hmm, no.
05:16I reached out to him.
05:20Why?
05:21Well, I heard rumblings about an up-and-coming business tycoon who just recently burst onto the scene.
05:28I mean, the man was gobbling up companies left and right.
05:32Growing his fortune at lightning speed.
05:35I was incredibly impressed by that.
05:38Yeah, I, uh...
05:40I love the idea of going from nothing to something in a very short amount of time.
05:45And I wanted something like that.
05:48So, I called on some of my L.A. connections to have them help me get Dumas'...
05:56Sorry, Cain's attention.
05:59And that actually worked?
06:02Yeah, I'm betting that he...
06:04He was onto me from the very beginning.
06:06But he hired you anyway?
06:08Yeah, you know, I got a sense that even though Cain probably sussed out the truth,
06:12that, uh, he saw something in me that resonated.
06:17I was young, I was hungry.
06:19I was ready to jumpstart my life.
06:23Commit to something that I could make my own.
06:25I think he innately knew that he could trust me with his secret.
06:30Hmm.
06:31But in all the years you work with him,
06:33can you give me some idea as to how he operates?
06:36It's because the Cain that you know is far different from the Cain Ashby that we know.
06:45I have to ask...
06:46You being here...
06:49From what I understand, right about now,
06:52you should be hosting a gathering in France with some of Genoa City's finest citizens.
06:57Preparing to reveal yourself to them.
06:59To the world.
07:00But...
07:01Here you are.
07:04Festivities are proceeding as we speak.
07:06I just wanted to check in,
07:08touch base with you,
07:09and check in on a few other irons I have planted in fires around town.
07:12Before you get back to your guests.
07:14I'm the consummate host.
07:16And they have...
07:18They have no idea that you're here.
07:20Hmm.
07:22When you contacted me,
07:25the way you spoke at Genoa City caught my attention.
07:27Like...
07:29Wanting to meet at a local coffee shop instead of a restaurant at a hotel.
07:33It feels like you're very familiar with this town.
07:37More than you know.
07:40It's been a while since I've been here.
07:44It's funny.
07:46How so little has changed.
07:49And yet everything has changed.
07:53I'm still pretty new to the town.
07:54But...
07:55I do see the appeal.
07:57It's a different vibe than L.A.
07:59I actually found myself debating whether I should stay here
08:01or head back to Los Angeles when you fired me.
08:04Along with...
08:06Damien.
08:07It was a necessary step so I could bring you back under the radar.
08:10You certainly made the decision where to live a lot easier when you offered me the job.
08:15Have you told anybody you're working again?
08:17I did his order.
08:20Kept my mouth shut.
08:21Honestly, I don't know that many people here,
08:23so the secret hasn't been that hard to keep.
08:25And those that I have met...
08:29I've let them believe that I'm searching.
08:32And I'm still unemployed.
08:34Good.
08:35Keep it that way.
08:36Will do.
08:39Thank you again.
08:41For having the fate to have you back, Mr. Dumas.
08:42You're welcome.
08:47But you can call me Cain Ashby.
08:50Aristotle Dumas will soon cease to exist.
08:54I did not strike a deal with...
08:56with Cain.
08:58Is it only because you couldn't find him?
09:00No, I wasn't looking for him.
09:03Even though you seem pretty focused on getting it done?
09:06I can't work out anything with Cain until I fix things with you first.
09:15Okay.
09:16You gonna feed me?
09:17You think that solves everything?
09:19Well, I was assuming that you wouldn't want to get together for the group dinner.
09:21You know, besides Phyllis and Victor.
09:24Am I wrong about that?
09:25Mm-mm.
09:27Will you sit down?
09:28And get comfortable?
09:29I'm really not that hungry.
09:32Okay, will you humor me, please?
09:35I think there's something there you're really gonna like.
09:38Please.
09:39Okay.
09:45So while you were out...
09:47clearing your head, I was running around the train
09:50trying to find all the things that you would love,
09:52and I landed on...
09:54French fries.
09:57French fries.
09:58French fries.
09:59Can't come over to France and not have French fries.
10:01This is the frites experience.
10:03And what you see there is hot sauce.
10:05Not easy to come by.
10:07I had to get Cain's chef to whip something up.
10:09Thankfully, they were willing to experiment,
10:11and this is what we landed on.
10:14Mm.
10:16Very nice.
10:17Would you like to try one?
10:18I know what you're doing.
10:19What?
10:20What am I doing?
10:21I'm sure the French fries are delicious.
10:23Absolutely.
10:23And whatever else you've scavenged from the kitchen,
10:25I'm sure it's just as wonderful,
10:27but this whole distraction thing is not gonna work.
10:28Is that what you think I'm doing here?
10:29Look, I was very clear about what I wanted from you, Billy.
10:33When I said this was a deal-breaker, I meant it,
10:35but it's obvious that you're not willing to commit to
10:37handing me avid communications if you go after Chancellor with Cain.
10:40So I really don't know where that leaves us.
10:49If you would, uh, let me explain...
10:51Billy, there's no need.
10:52The fries say it all.
10:54I mean, it's charming, and it's fun,
10:55and it's so... you.
10:58Seriously, to think of me this way.
10:59I mean, even right down to having the...
11:02chef whip up some hot sauce.
11:04But, I mean, how can I be charmed and have fun
11:06when I know this is your way of blowing me off?
11:08I'm not blowing you off.
11:09I meant what I said, Billy.
11:10I have gone all in on avid communications.
11:13I don't have a plan B.
11:14This is it.
11:16Launching and running a badass communications company
11:18that make people stand up and pay attention.
11:20I want the same thing.
11:22But you don't, Billy.
11:24Not anymore.
11:25Chancellor is right out of reach,
11:27and it is so close it's almost yours.
11:29It's consuming your every thought.
11:32So where does that leave avid communications?
11:35Well...
11:35Or me.
11:36I would explain that if I, uh...
11:39You know, you explained to me at one point recently
11:42that you had had so much wisdom and experience
11:45that you knew that you couldn't run avid communications on your own.
11:48And now you're expecting to run Chancellor and Abbott?
11:51It's impossible, Billy.
11:53It's not going to happen.
11:54So if you really want Chancellor,
11:56then I'm your solution.
11:58I can take avid communications
11:59to the heights that we always dreamed of.
12:01But obviously, you don't trust me.
12:04I trust you.
12:04Really?
12:05The way you trusted Phyllis?
12:08Have we not had this conversation?
12:10Yeah, we have.
12:11Okay.
12:11We have, and I know where you stand.
12:13Sally?
12:13I know, obviously.
12:14Give me a second here, okay?
12:15Do me a favor.
12:16Look underneath the dessert tray right there.
12:19Just please.
12:20Billy.
12:20I think you'll really like it.
12:21Billy, I don't want a creme brulee
12:23or whatever the heck is under there.
12:24I don't want to tell you to look underneath it.
12:25So just look.
12:27Please.
12:34What is that?
12:39Look, guys, I wish I could be of more help.
12:45You know?
12:45Give you the answers that you need.
12:48But honestly, I had very little contact with Kane.
12:53You ran two of his companies for years.
12:55Yeah.
12:55We communicated mostly by email.
12:58There was a phone call every so often.
13:00And the paycheck, of course, but that was it.
13:04That is so weird.
13:07That never bothered you?
13:09Look, I was making good money for the first time in my life.
13:13Okay?
13:13I was finally getting my feet under me.
13:16Building something that I could be proud of.
13:19Yes, I was curious, but there were no red flags.
13:22You know?
13:23Nothing to suggest that Kane was anything but an eccentric billionaire.
13:27So no insight at all?
13:30No, he was a solid boss.
13:33But other than that, he was as mysterious to me as he was to the rest of the world.
13:39I think mysterious is too nice of a word to describe what Kane's been doing.
13:43I mean, hiding behind this Dumas persona?
13:45Who does that unless you have something to hide, right?
13:48I mean, it's disgusting.
13:49Yeah, I really want to know what the catalyst was for Kane to change so much.
13:53You know, why create this bizarre double life?
13:56Why live this lie?
13:58Maybe he never really did change.
14:02He came to Genoa City with a con.
14:04He seemed to reform and turn his life around, but maybe that was the con.
14:09The reformed Kane that we knew, and maybe now he's gone back to his true nature.
14:17Aristotle Dumas will cease to exist.
14:19What exactly does that mean?
14:22It was a persona that I created so I could stay anonymous while I built my empire.
14:27All those years of mystery, and now you're going public.
14:31I'm curious as to what's changed.
14:34It's all a part of the plan.
14:36Including returning to Genoa City.
14:39To live?
14:41Yes.
14:42This town must mean a lot to you.
14:46It does.
14:49Until I make the move, I'm going to need you to continue to be my eyes and ears here on the ground.
14:53Final preparations will be absolutely critical.
14:56I'm happy to be of assistance in any way that I can.
15:00And I appreciate the work you've done.
15:02Your help in procuring the various properties has been invaluable.
15:05I've got to say, I'm thoroughly impressed by your scope of purchases.
15:11But does that mean that you plan on moving a majority of your businesses here as well?
15:14There's something else I'm going to need from you.
15:22Name it.
15:23While I appreciate your dedication, there will be no questions about my intentions.
15:29Go ahead.
15:35I mean, it looks a little chewy.
15:38While unappetizing a pumpkin.
15:40I think you're really going to like it.
15:42I don't know.
15:44Well, you could see it as your daily source of fiber.
15:54Okay, now who's being coy?
15:56I'm just going to write it on my phone and send it to you.
16:09But there's no internet, so...
16:12When old school, pen the paper.
16:14It's actually quite difficult to find, almost as hard as the hot sauce.
16:19Is this what I think it is?
16:22It's an agreement.
16:23And if I ever take over, Chancellor, you will be CEO of Avid Communications.
16:31I'll be an advisor and chairman of the board, but you will be in charge.
16:42And you didn't sign it.
16:45What, make sure you were good with everything on there?
16:47You heard me.
16:54You listened.
16:57You made a compelling argument.
16:59You really do have faith in me.
17:03I was never in doubt.
17:07Lily, you been quiet?
17:08Yeah, sorry.
17:12I just...
17:13I don't know.
17:14It's just been very hard to hear all of this talk about how this man I used to love has changed so drastically.
17:22I mean, I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him, right?
17:25And now I barely even recognize him.
17:28Or maybe I'm afraid to.
17:29It's probably callous of us to bring it up in front of you.
17:34No, it's fine.
17:36Everything you're saying is true.
17:38I mean, I've asked myself the same questions.
17:40Like, what happened?
17:43When did Cain change?
17:44How?
17:45When he spoke to you alone, he didn't shed any light on why he's done this?
17:51What his intentions are?
17:52No, he just said things that made no sense.
17:55Like, he wanted to keep this new path separate, and it was cleaner this way.
18:00What does that even mean?
18:02I don't know.
18:03I have no idea.
18:04He said that one day, you know, he'll tell me and I'll understand, but it's like nothing could make me understand this amount of lies and cover-ups.
18:11The shock of all this.
18:12I can't even imagine how you're feeling.
18:15Yeah, I mean, I'm still shocked.
18:18You know, but I'm...
18:19I'm finding some equilibrium, and...
18:22Damien has really helped me gain some perspective.
18:25And you've helped me as well.
18:26And Maddie and Charlie, do they know, not know?
18:30You have no way of even contacting them to find out.
18:33Well, if I could, I wouldn't.
18:35I need to get control of my own emotions before I talk to them.
18:40And plus, you know, they're adults.
18:41They're busy.
18:42They don't call their mom every day.
18:44Yeah, I know the feeling.
18:46I'm actually relieved.
18:47Because they know me so well, if they heard my voice, they would know something was off.
18:53You want to protect your kids, of course.
18:58I have been that place far too often recently, where there were things that I needed to keep for my kids.
19:05I thought that was the best way to protect them.
19:08So I understand how difficult it is.
19:11Well, what's even more difficult is being forced to face Cain and his stupid games every day.
19:19I'm sending you a list of names, people I want you to connect with, gain their confidence.
19:35No problem.
19:40Adam Neumann, Chelsea Lawson, Mariah Copeland.
19:45Claire Neumann.
19:46I've already made real inroads with Claire Neumann, nice young woman.
19:50Good to know.
19:52Are there any specific things you'd like me to focus on?
19:55Likes, dislikes, habits, interests, good or bad?
19:57That will come.
19:58For now, just make the connections.
20:00How you go about that, that's your business.
20:02Just don't let it track back to me.
20:05That will be the priority.
20:06Good.
20:08I don't have to tell you.
20:10Be casual, likable, non-threatening.
20:13And you're good looking, you're a new guy in town, and you're just trying to get to know people.
20:17And there's no reason for people to be suspicious.
20:20Or not take the bait.
20:23Well, making friends is an area I excel in.
20:26So, consider it done.
20:28Thank you for this.
20:40For giving me the backup.
20:42I need to feel secure.
20:43Look, we've been through a lot.
20:46Together, in a short amount of time.
20:49And I want you to feel secure.
20:50I want you to know that I value you.
20:54Your brain, your instincts, all of it.
20:58And I trust you with Avid Communications.
21:02Because even though it's a dream to get Avid Communications running, taking back Chancellor means more.
21:09A lot has to go right for that to happen.
21:12You know, there's a lot of moving parts.
21:13Things need to fall into place.
21:15One being Victor, his grimy hands are still on the company that he stole from me.
21:21Look.
21:23I know you really want this.
21:26But Cain has already walked away from making a grab at Chancellor.
21:30Hmm.
21:32Things are different now.
21:34I know who I'm dealing with.
21:37And I am confident that Cain and I can make it happen.
21:41Before Victor even knows what hit him.
21:43Even given your history?
21:45Look, Cain's a thorn, right?
21:48There's no doubt about that.
21:49His lies, his cons, they cause damage.
21:52No question.
21:53It did not make it easy for my relationship with my mother.
21:57In fact, she pitted us against each other most of the time, taking his side.
22:01Okay.
22:01Well, this isn't making me feel encouraged to have you two teaming up together.
22:06I understand your concern.
22:09But Cain's initial proposition in this invitation, it means something.
22:15Like what?
22:19Cain gathering everyone together.
22:21It's as if he wants an audience for when he takes down the big man.
22:26With your help.
22:30Well, if it happens, when it happens, I'll be on top of Chancellor.
22:37And you'll be in charge of Abbott Communications, building it into the powerhouse we always dreamed it would be.
22:41You mean that?
22:44I've won a chance for a long time.
22:49It's been a dream.
22:52And I want you to have your dream.
22:53That is a pretty intriguing collection of names.
23:02Well, you know enough about Geneva City to realize that.
23:04I can see I picked the right person for the job.
23:06Adam and Chelsea run Newman Media.
23:11Raya works for Cassidy First Technology.
23:13And Claire Newman is Nikki Newman's assistant at Chancellor Industries.
23:18Those are their jobs.
23:20But I'm not picking up any obvious overlap there.
23:24Unless, maybe it's personal.
23:28Overarching Newman connection.
23:31Or is it you just want to get your fingers on all of that Geneva City pies?
23:36You do remember the part about no questions.
23:40My apologies.
23:42Habit.
23:42I understand your instinct to want to learn.
23:47In fact, I applaud it.
23:49But I will not tolerate the prying into or questioning of my business decisions.
23:53All you need to know is I move strategically.
23:57Every action meticulously thought out to gain the result that I want.
24:02Which will also not be questioned.
24:05I won't make the mistake again.
24:08I'm here to do whatever you require of me.
24:10No questions asked.
24:12Good.
24:14Because I have another assignment for you.
24:17Okay.
24:18I want you to tell me everything you know about your buddy Damien.
24:23And his relationship with Lily Winters.
24:26I mean, Kane brought us here for this big reveal.
24:30Why not just tell us what the point of it is?
24:32It's got to be more than just him coming home to Genoa City.
24:36And how do you feel about that?
24:38Well, for once, I actually agree with Victor.
24:40I think that Kane should stay as far away from Genoa City as possible.
24:45I'm still trying to figure it all out.
24:46I mean, why is he hiding behind the name and the mystery?
24:51Is he trying to prove something?
24:53If that's the case, to whom?
24:55To us?
24:55Himself?
24:56I know a billionaire cannot control the weather.
24:59But the fact that we are all stranded here conveniently?
25:02Well, convenient for him, not for us.
25:05Without being able to contact our families, it's making me feel a little uneasy.
25:10Hey, I told you, you're going to be fine, okay?
25:13You're good.
25:14This is just some guy putting on a big show, and as soon as the roads and the train tracks
25:19are passable, we're out of here.
25:21Well, as much as I want to run from here and never look back, I'm not leaving until Kane
25:26gives me some answers.
25:27Look, all this talk about Kane's lies, his subterfuge, his motives.
25:31Look, we can ask why and how all day long, but we'll probably never get a satisfactory answer.
25:37Agreed.
25:38If one existed, I think we would have already heard it by now.
25:40Well, I know you're right, but I just, I need to make sense of all of this, if for
25:46no other reason than to have something to explain to Maddie and Charlie.
25:50After everything that Kane has put you through, you deserve the truth, and you shouldn't have
25:54to fight for it.
25:55You, more than anyone, deserves to know the reason for Kane doing all this.
25:59I don't disagree.
26:02But instead of putting our focus on what Kane has already done, I think we should be focusing
26:08on what he's going to do moving forward, okay?
26:11Maybe the question that we need to be asking ourselves isn't how or why he became Aristotle
26:16Dumas, but what Kane Ashby is going to do, especially now that we all know who he is.
26:25Lily Winters.
26:32Damien is falling for her, and hard.
26:35It sounds like you know him well.
26:37Oh, yeah.
26:38I've known the guy for years.
26:40We were friends long before I worked for him.
26:42I think that's actually one of the reasons why he hired me.
26:45You know, he could trust me.
26:47That I'd always have his back.
26:48And knowing him as you do, you think that there's a, an attraction?
26:55Zero doubt in my mind.
26:56All the years that I've known Damien, I have never seen him show a woman this kind of interest.
27:01Really?
27:01Usually, when he sees somebody that he likes, Damien puts on the charm, wins the woman over, and the relationship lasts, as long as it lasts.
27:11But I get a whole different vibe when it comes to Lily.
27:15And is that vibe reciprocated?
27:20I couldn't tell you.
27:20But what I do know is that Damien felt a, a connection to her, straight out of the gate.
27:27That man was ready to walk away from his dying mother and new half-brother, head back to Los Angeles, and then he met her.
27:34And that was it.
27:36And that woman is a big reason why Damien stayed in town.
27:41Interesting.
27:41Can I at least ask, since this doesn't seem to be about business, why do you care?
27:57Lily and I have history.
28:02I feel protective of her.
28:04And Damien seems like a player.
28:07The way he's feeling about Lily, that might be past tense.
28:09But nonetheless, I don't want there to be any chance that Lily can get hurt.
28:16I mean, I have to admit, I'm asking myself the same questions, right?
28:19The what now questions.
28:21Like, what does Cain have planned?
28:24What is, why is he doing this?
28:25I mean, he's already amassed this fortune and has power.
28:28It's like, what else is he after?
28:30It has to be more than just, I'm coming home in Genoa City.
28:33I don't know Cain as well as you all do, but
28:36Is it possible that this could be all there is to it?
28:41I mean, I highly doubt that.
28:43Every move that Cain has made has been calculated and shrouded in secrecy.
28:47There's just no chance that this has led to nothing more than, I'm coming home.
28:51Well, I keep going back to his pseudonym.
28:55Aristotle Dumas.
28:56Yeah, he had to have picked it for a reason.
28:59But what is it?
29:01Well, uh, Monte Cristo and Danglers were the names of the companies I ran for them.
29:06Yeah, and in The Count of Monte Cristo, the protagonist, Edmond Dante, he comes back to town to seek revenge.
29:14Well, that's not comforting at all.
29:16I agree.
29:17I mean, this has Colin's fingerprints all over it.
29:20Colin, yeah.
29:21Well, I guess Cain told my dad that Colin was an integral part of building this new empire, and, uh, it was all legitimate.
29:29Yeah, right.
29:30Legitimate businessmen don't have to hide their identity.
29:33Or have a vicious con man as a partner.
29:36Cain clearly has an agenda that is way more involved than he's revealed to us.
29:41And we all need to be prepared for that.
29:44A celebration.
29:45A toast to dreams coming true.
29:47No matter how we get them.
29:52And to you and your potential new position as CEO of Abbott Communications.
30:02You know, you're proving another one of my points with all this.
30:06Yeah? What's that?
30:07That Abbott was just a distraction.
30:10A way not to think about losing Chancellor.
30:13Hmm.
30:14I wouldn't say it's that black and white.
30:17Starting Abbott Communications was definitely my future.
30:23But when Cain called, well, that put a wrench in the spoke of that plan.
30:30Big enough to derail you from the dream of creating a company that you could shape 100% from the ground up?
30:36Starting a company from the ground up was a lot more exciting than I even expected.
30:42There's no doubt about it.
30:46But when Cain called in the potential of being back at the helm of Chancellor, well, I realized that I wasn't over losing.
30:52Or how it would happen.
30:57You want revenge?
30:59I want what's rightfully mine.
31:02And if Victor goes down in the process, well...
31:07See, Abby.
31:07Look, I know you're not fully on board with me joining forces with Cain to take down Victor, but it's gonna be great for you as CEO of Abbott Communications.
31:22It is?
31:22Yeah.
31:23When we take down the big man and we rip Chancellor out of his hands, it's gonna be a hell of a story.
31:29When you can splash across all your Pythorns.
31:31I mean, come on.
31:32Can't pay for press like that.
31:34Yeah, I mean, it's definitely gonna put Abbott Communications on the map, but I can't say it won't come without a cost.
31:39Victor's ego gutted for the world to see?
31:42I'd line up for that.
31:44This is what I'm talking about, Billy.
31:46Hmm.
31:47Revenge is clearly at the top of your list.
31:50That never ends well.
31:53I won't lean into it.
31:55Won't bring it up again.
31:57That doesn't mean it's not what's driving you.
32:01I'm only looking ahead.
32:03All I see is good things.
32:07Starting with this.
32:16Tandil.
32:40I'm going.
32:40Thank you for being my partner in all of this.
33:10So there is one thing we might want to be prepared for.
33:15If you know something, Lily, tell us.
33:19Well, Devon told me that Cain has claimed someone here might try to kill him.
33:25What?
33:27Kill him?
33:28Kill him.
33:28Okay.
33:29Now we've jumped the shark.
33:30You're telling me Chance was invited here to be Cain's personal in-house detective.
33:34Exactly.
33:35Do you honestly believe that threat is real?
33:37Of course not.
33:39I mean, Cain has upset some people, but, well, we're not going to try to kill him.
33:42I assumed this whole gathering was about Cain trying to make some kind of business deal,
33:48but now who knows what he really wants?
33:51Well, Cain did go to my dad.
33:53He wanted to buy Chancellor from him.
33:55My dad turned him down flat, so that's a dead end.
33:57It's not the only dead end he'll find in Genoa City.
33:59If Cain's smart, he'll respect my dad's decision.
34:02If Cain were smart, he would have never started this Dumas venture in the first place.
34:06I mean, to be at the hands of someone who's just so intent on messing with our minds, it's disturbing.
34:13And my heart goes out to you for everything that you're going through.
34:18But things could be worse.
34:21Yeah, of course.
34:25I'm sorry, Sharon.
34:27I mean, yeah, at least we're not at the hands of a crazed maniac.
34:32I mean, look, what's the worst that Cain could do?
34:34Right?
34:35Keeps us trapped here long enough to steal all of our businesses in Genoa City?
34:39You're clear on what I need you to do?
34:46I'll make it happen.
34:48Good.
34:49Well, thank you again for the opportunity.
34:54I promise I won't disappoint you.
34:55I'm sure you won't.
34:56I'll be in touch.
34:57Oh, it is?
35:20I had no idea.
35:22Don't you know?
35:23Whatever song is playing while you're in my arms is my favorite song.
35:41Cain?
35:44When did you get back in town?
35:46When did you get back in town?
