00:00Hi.
00:03Hi.
00:04Hi.
00:05Yeah.
00:06Want some coffee?
00:08Or something to eat?
00:09Oh, no.
00:10They always have so many baked goods at these parent orientations.
00:14Plus, I already had three cups of not-so-great coffee.
00:17Three?
00:18I didn't know what to do with myself.
00:20In previous years, you know, before Connor was diagnosed with his OCD,
00:24I would pull his teacher aside and explain to her
00:27that he had to be at a desk in an even-numbered row.
00:30As far in the back of the classroom as possible.
00:34Right.
00:35Without trying to make it a big deal.
00:37It was a big deal to Connor.
00:40Yeah.
00:41He was always counting everything.
00:43I remember being so excited when he was little and knew his numbers so well.
00:47I was so proud that he was the first kid in his playgroup that could count to ten.
00:52You know, I didn't know that it was making him feel safe.
00:58But we know now.
01:01Okay?
01:02We helped our son figure it all out.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Connor's doing great.
01:06He is normal.
01:08And normal feels really good.
01:10Yes.
01:11It does.
01:15Well, I wish I could see that things feel normal at work.
01:19Uh-oh.
01:20What happened at the office after I left us?
01:23Victor dropped by.
01:25Hmm.
01:26And what did your father want?
01:28To make someone's life a living hell?
01:38Hello?
01:39Where are you?
01:40Same place I was the last time you called in my suite.
01:43I told you it was urgent that I meet you.
01:46Then you hung up.
01:48It's late.
01:49I didn't plan on going out again.
01:50Oh, I see.
01:53This past your bedtime, right?
01:56Come and see me at the ranch tonight.
01:58We'll be back around tonight.
01:59We'll be back around tonight.
02:05We'll be back around tonight.
02:46Hey.
02:47Hey.
02:48Join me.
02:49Wouldn't want you to drink alone.
02:52Excuse me.
02:53Can I get another from my big brother?
02:55And I'll have the same, please.
02:58So I haven't heard from Kane yet about Amish Communications.
03:01When last we spoke, you were going to tell him I am open to a buyout.
03:07That's right.
03:09So why the radio silence?
03:12Has he gotten cold feet about investing in your company?
03:17Or have you maybe had a change of heart about pushing me out?
03:22Well, who was that demanding a meeting with my boss?
03:26Under the guise of darkness.
03:28Something I should know about?
03:29I've forgotten how truly relentless you could be.
03:34Oh, yes I am.
03:37But that's what you like.
03:40I'm going to put all that energy into what we have planned.
03:43What's our next move?
03:45You know curiosity killed the cat?
03:47It's okay.
03:48I've already used it my nine lives.
03:51I have very sharp nails.
03:53To an exciting and unexpected collaboration.
04:02That's the best Negroni I've had in a really, really long time.
04:06Go ahead.
04:07Did you forget that I was a bartender in a previous life?
04:09Is that how you made your billions?
04:11By tending bar?
04:13Again, you're trying to get me to tell you things I don't want you to know.
04:15No.
04:16I'm not interested in your past.
04:19I'm only interested in what's on tap for our immediate future.
04:23Not at all interested in savoring the present.
04:28It took me a long time to get here, you know that.
04:31You didn't answer my calls.
04:33You ghosted me in D.C.
04:36But then you did give me an audience, Anise, and thank you for that.
04:40Amanda helped.
04:41Because I was relentless with her, just as I am with you.
04:44You wouldn't have been at my chateau if I didn't want you there.
04:47Really?
04:48You're playing hard to get?
04:50Well, part of any successful negotiation is letting people think that they're selling you something you don't want to buy.
04:55So then when the deal closes and they think they've come out ahead, it's actually you that's gotten the better of them.
05:00Oh, you're definitely getting the better out of this relationship.
05:03Is that right?
05:04I'll get what I want, trust me.
05:05Okay.
05:06I will.
05:07It's win-win.
05:08I'm definitely drawn to your assets.
05:11Skillset.
05:14Then you could have taken a meeting with me in the beginning.
05:18Maybe I wanted to see how determined and resourceful you were.
05:24I am determined.
05:26Are you being manipulative?
05:28I'm sure you've never been called that.
05:30Well, if I told you no, then I would be the one who's manipulative, right?
05:41You should know.
05:44No one plays me and gets away with it.
05:46I'm not at all surprised that Victor wants to pay back for everything that happened to Denise.
05:55After Cain locked up Nick, your brother could have died from his wound.
05:59No.
05:59I don't blame Victor for wanting to protect his family.
06:04Well, I have to wonder if you're still going to feel that way if it means using Newman Media to do it.
06:09Why would I object to him using his media empire to go after Cain?
06:13Oh, I know this face.
06:19This is the look you get when we talk about defaming Billy.
06:23So someone connected to Cain could potentially get caught in the crossfire of his war between him and your dad.
06:30Who?
06:31Lily?
06:32Maddie?
06:33Charlie?
06:33This is the look I get when I bring up Billy.
06:40Because Billy is who I'm talking about.
06:44It appears that he might be aligning himself with Cain against our family.
06:50And if that's true, it's possible that he's not just coming after Victor.
06:54He's turning against his own family.
06:59Is that how you see the situation, Jack, that I'm pushing you out?
07:02Because if you're asking me, it felt like a mutual decision, which was best for the family.
07:07It was your idea that I sell my part of Abbott Communications to Cain.
07:13Yeah, but you didn't exactly fight me on it, right?
07:16When this topic came up, you jumped shit pretty quick.
07:19Okay, let me be the one now to question how this is being framed.
07:23I think it is to be expected when we're as close as we are that we would both have strong feelings about severing our latest business arrangement.
07:33You sound a little hurt.
07:37Maybe I am.
07:39And not that you intended it, and I was wrong to characterize what was a mutual agreement with some kind of slight.
07:47No, that was a bad choice of words.
07:49But I am still curious if you're reconsidering moving ahead with a buyout.
07:56No, I haven't.
08:00You seem a little on edge.
08:02Yeah, I like to think it's not just my ill-spoken phrase, but I...
08:09Is something wrong? Is there a problem?
08:12It's all good.
08:16When you give me a two- or three-word answer to my question,
08:20I can't help but think things are not all good.
08:26Have you met with Cain since last we spoke?
08:34My dad has long suspected that Billy and Cain were in cahoots.
08:40Doc, when Cain was using the Dumas alias, he contacted Billy.
08:44I remember.
08:45It was how Victor was trying to justify going after Billy.
08:48Yes.
08:48Well, he gave him an out.
08:51A truce in exchange for Billy telling him everything he knew about Dumas.
08:55But, of course, Billy turned him down.
08:58Which led to him ordering the hit pieces on Billy.
09:00Yes.
09:01Well, I am convinced Billy did not know Cain was Dumas.
09:04It's very clear he was just as blindsided as the rest of us.
09:07What is clear is that Billy has cozied up to Cain.
09:12My father witnessed both of them putting their heads together in France.
09:15And then Billy, earlier today, got in Victor's face making threats.
09:19Okay?
09:20This is not a war that Billy can win.
09:23We both know Billy talks a bit, Cain.
09:25And sometimes he resorts to bluffing if he doesn't have what it takes to back it up.
09:30Look, somebody has to call his bluff.
09:34What are you saying?
09:36Billy might know what Cain is up to.
09:39Now, I know how you feel about Billy.
09:43As friends, yes.
09:44I've made that very clear to you.
09:47Chelsea.
09:48Okay.
09:48He has changed the game.
09:50He has upped the stakes.
09:51If Cain is coming after Newman and Billy has allowed himself to be used by Cain to do that,
09:58then Billy has put a target on his back.
10:01Billy is part of an attack against our family and Victor has no choice but to deal with that threat.
10:10I have talked to Cain.
10:13And?
10:14The conversation was derailed when the topic of Jill came up.
10:21Apparently, my mother is very much aware that Cain Ashby and Aristotle Dumal are one and the same.
10:30Okay, I am surprised to hear that.
10:33Just another gut punch added to the slap in the face.
10:35Did she know this before she sold Chancellor to Victor?
10:41Unless she's lying to me.
10:42I don't think so.
10:43Wait, then you spoke to her?
10:46Yes.
10:47First time since Devon and Abby's wedding when I told her I was done with her because of her betrayal.
10:53I know how deeply she hurt you, Billy.
10:56It's all right.
10:57I'm used to people backing me in and backing out.
10:59What?
11:00Present company excluded because we just agreed that that was a mutual decision.
11:05Right?
11:06We did.
11:07How did the rest of that conversation go?
11:10Not very good.
11:12She's upset.
11:14She's hurt.
11:15Of course, it's my fault because I didn't reach out to her and tell her about Chance.
11:20Oh, she must be devastated.
11:22Of course, she's devastated.
11:24We're all devastated.
11:25It's horrible.
11:26But you didn't reach out to her.
11:30No, because I believe it's Cain's call to make this happen because of him.
11:34Oh, I absolutely agree.
11:35But, but, but, but it's my fault.
11:37I get it.
11:37I'm supposed to be a good son, even though she's the one that betrayed me.
11:42It doesn't matter how I feel about it.
11:44I'm supposed to call my mother and tell her about Chance, right?
11:46That's, that's how it should have gone.
11:49It's an untenable situation, Jack.
11:56Yeah, I can see that.
11:59How did Jill ever find out that Cain was using that aliens?
12:06She's been to the chateau.
12:08To see Cain?
12:11No, to see Colin.
12:12On his deathbed.
12:13Jill and Cain laid him to rest, and because of everything they went through,
12:19they had become very close as a result.
12:22That must have been when Cain convinced her to keep his confidence.
12:27So she damn well didn't go out of her way to reach out to me.
12:30Well, in fairness, you shut her out.
12:32She may have been feeling exactly what you just described.
12:34It's an untenable situation.
12:36Fairness?
12:38There's no fairness here.
12:39She practically begged me to take over to answer because she wasn't healthy enough to continue.
12:45Then she goes and sells the company, the victor of all people,
12:47knowing that that would crush my dreams,
12:50knowing that he would throw it in my face every opportunity he got.
12:53And then she holds Cain's secret,
12:56keeping her own flesh and blood in the dark.
13:01A mother's supposed to take care of her kid.
13:05Clearly she's done with me, and now she's got Cain.
13:07The son she always wishes she had.
13:15I have no intention of playing you, Phyllis.
13:18But I'd hope you realize by now that I do really enjoy the game.
13:22I know you enjoy the game.
13:24I realize that after several rounds in your life-size maze in France.
13:28I got that.
13:30I like to have fun.
13:32I do.
13:33I don't like being used as a pawn.
13:40I've been used too many times.
13:42How many people have you deceived to achieve a goal?
13:46I think you and I are similar when it comes to that approach.
13:50Are you complimenting me?
13:51That's backhanded.
13:52Well, if you're advocating for honesty, Phyllis,
13:54then why don't we start by admitting that we're not always honest?
13:56Well, I'm treating myself.
13:58Well, man, that's all that really matters, isn't it?
14:00Why are you doing this?
14:07I mean, I thought I already passed your test.
14:11You did.
14:13But it doesn't mean I'm going to stop challenging you every single step of the way.
14:16I can't argue with the fact that Victor has every right to defend his companies from any outside threats.
14:30Well, I'm glad to hear you say that.
14:33Because, to tell you the truth, I was expecting an argument about this.
14:37No, I'm 100% behind using Newman Media platforms to go after Kane.
14:41Okay, well, what if Billy is working with Kane?
14:44Well, I need to see proof of that before I can just sign off on some attack on Billy.
14:51Chelsea, everything that I just told you.
14:53Adam.
14:56Do you remember when Connor was invited to this pool party two summers ago?
15:01He didn't want to go.
15:03But we didn't know at the time.
15:04It was because of his social anxiety.
15:07Yes, because of his OCD.
15:09Correct.
15:10And the boy that invited him got so upset with him that he wasn't going,
15:14that he couldn't give him a valid excuse as to why.
15:17So then this rumor started at school that Connor, the great Victor Newman's grandson,
15:22was too cool for the kids at Walnut Grove.
15:26That rumor really hurt Connor.
15:30Connor's a kid.
15:32Billy's a man.
15:34A grown man.
15:35If Victor can prove to me that this is true, what he says about Billy,
15:38then of course, I would never ask you two to ignore that.
15:43But if this idea that Billy is in cahoots with Kane is just a rumor or, you know,
15:49something your father made up so he has a reason to go after Billy, then no.
15:53Like I told you, I'm going to defend my friends.
15:55I don't have actual proof that Billy is working with or for Kane.
16:01And I'm not sure how I would get that.
16:04It's not like Billy's going to show his hand.
16:06And Kane has demonstrated that he likes to play his cards close to the vest.
16:09So, I mean, unless we catch them hatching some plot together,
16:14or they announce a partnership,
16:17we're going to be stuck playing defense.
16:21I have to trust my father's instincts.
16:24And that calls for a preemptive strike.
16:27You're right.
16:31You're right.
16:31Billy is never going to admit his agenda to you.
16:37But maybe I can get him to be honest with me.
16:42I'm glad we ran into each other tonight.
16:45Seems you have some wounds that needed some tending.
16:47Look, I was clear when I cut my mother off.
16:58It still hurts to know that she's more connected to Kane than she is this.
17:02This isn't about Kane.
17:03I have no doubt that you'll love you.
17:06Wow.
17:08Haven't heard that in a long time.
17:10Maybe you ought to give her a chance.
17:13Look, I know something about this.
17:15You can take steps to repair the damage
17:18in your relationship with your mother.
17:20She actually went all the way to France
17:21to make amends with Colin,
17:23a man that cheated on her,
17:25lied to her, scammed her.
17:29She'd make amends with a con man,
17:30but she's not going to reach out to me,
17:31her own son, to make amends.
17:33And I didn't do anything wrong,
17:35despite her claims to the contrary.
17:37I know a bit about
17:38just how heavy parental disappointment is on a child.
17:42Look, I disappointed our father
17:47many times over.
17:50Yeah, I mean, a lot of mistakes with that, too.
17:52But he always understood that I was young
17:55and that I was going to make mistakes,
17:57and he always forgave me.
17:59Never withheld his love from his family, did he?
18:01No, his love was too big to hold it back.
18:05Kane's had massive successes.
18:07And you're thinking
18:12he's cast a big shadow.
18:14Big enough to replace me.
18:18He's taken over
18:19in my mother's life once again.
18:22I'm sorry.
18:25I'm terribly sorry.
18:26I know this is tearing you up.
18:30I'm not going to let anybody else
18:32disappoint and stop me
18:33from doing what I need to do, Jack.
18:35I'll prove my mother wrong
18:39when I get Chancellor back
18:41with or without Kane.
18:45It sounds like you already know
18:46what Kane's plan is.
18:51Wait, do you?
18:55I do.
18:59Things ingenious here,
19:00you're about to get very ugly.
19:02I do.
19:05I understand why
19:07you don't want to trust anybody.
19:08I get it.
19:11I hitched my star to Billy
19:13twice.
19:15This past year,
19:17he promised me the moon
19:19and then he fired me
19:20and I came crashing to the earth.
19:21So I get it.
19:23Billy will have his own tests passed.
19:26Yes, he will.
19:29Do you trust anyone?
19:31Do you?
19:31I mean, it must be difficult.
19:34All those billions,
19:35everybody wants a piece of it.
19:36I understand why
19:37you wanted to stay anonymous.
19:40My father taught me
19:41the core of any con
19:42is trust.
19:44Con is your for confidence.
19:47Exactly.
19:49But it's not about you
19:50giving me your confidence.
19:51It's about me giving you mine.
19:54You take Jack and Victor.
19:55You know, they know
19:56that you can't get
19:57what you want from a party
19:58unless you can convince
19:59that party that they want
20:00to give it to you.
20:03You're conning me right now?
20:05Same way you're conning me.
20:08Nope.
20:09We want something
20:10from each other.
20:12One could say
20:13that's selfish.
20:14I call it a transaction.
20:16And if we want to get it,
20:18we have to trust one another.
20:19So, what poor,
20:25unfortunate soul
20:26are we going to give
20:28our confidence to first?
20:39Look,
20:40I should have come clean to you
20:43the second I sat down.
20:44the truth is
20:47I don't owe anything
20:47to Cain.
20:49Okay,
20:50I already had
20:50my own suspicions
20:51that Cain's ambition
20:53went beyond
20:54owning Chancellor.
20:55It sounds like
20:56you're ready to confirm,
20:57Zach.
20:57He's about to make
20:58some big moves.
21:00He's targeting Jabot.
21:01Not just Jabot.
21:03And not just Chancellor.
21:05He wants Newman.
21:07He's not stopping there.
21:08He wants Winters, too.
21:10This man,
21:11he's delusional.
21:12He's crazy.
21:13Like a fox.
21:15He told you
21:16all of this directly?
21:17Everything.
21:18Did he give you
21:18any inkling
21:19as to what his plans are
21:20or how he's going to proceed?
21:21He wants to wrap
21:22everything up
21:22under one umbrella.
21:24It's a mighty big umbrella.
21:27But if he succeeds,
21:28of course,
21:28it's going to rain money.
21:30I don't think
21:31this has anything
21:32to do with money.
21:32Oh, come on.
21:34This man owns
21:34a train.
21:36One on every continent.
21:38His American train
21:39should be pulling up
21:40any minute.
21:42Apparently,
21:42after all the real estate
21:43he bought there,
21:44none of them
21:44are suitable
21:45for his own
21:46living quarters.
21:47Okay,
21:47clearly the man
21:48has an ego.
21:52We're going to have
21:52to do something
21:53to make sure
21:54we derail his plan.
21:57He's committed,
21:57Jack.
21:58And he's confident.
22:01He's not alone.
22:04He's got a soldier.
22:06Cheering him on.
22:07It's Phyllis.
22:13You know I'm not content
22:15just standing
22:15on the sidelines
22:16waving my pom-poms,
22:19you know.
22:19I got to be in the game.
22:21Yeah, well,
22:21before we play the game,
22:22you need to know the rules.
22:24So I could break them.
22:26This is going to be fun,
22:27Phyllis.
22:27Yeah.
22:28I like fun.
22:29I like fun.
22:31Okay,
22:31that's rule number one.
22:32Next.
22:33I'd like to have
22:34clear expectations
22:35so my employees...
22:39Employee?
22:40Really?
22:43Sorry, colleague.
22:44Well, I mean,
22:45you're getting there.
22:47There's room for improvement
22:48for sure.
22:49You know the phrase
22:49stay in your lane, Phyllis?
22:50Stay in my lane?
22:52Stay in my lane.
22:53I don't do that.
22:55That's business jargon.
22:56I don't do business jargon.
22:58You know, like,
23:00let's circle back,
23:01put it on the back burner.
23:03I don't do anything like that.
23:04I like real talk.
23:05Okay.
23:05Let's do real talk.
23:06Let's do real talk, then.
23:07I want us to be aligned
23:08on the job requirements.
23:09Okay, good.
23:09Great.
23:10Good.
23:10I'm in.
23:11Should I get a pencil?
23:15See?
23:16I'm staying in my lane.
23:18I want you to use
23:19your computer skills.
23:24Who do you want me to hack?
23:25Do you think that you can
23:28hack into Jabot's servers?
23:31You know I can, Cain.
23:32I've done it before.
23:33Good.
23:34Now, how about
23:35Newman Enterprises?
23:38Chancellor.
23:39Winters.
23:41Can you hack all of them?
23:43What are we going to do
23:44when I get inside?
23:47We're going to do
23:48a little shopping.
23:48I get that you want
23:51to protect Billy.
23:54But he is always going to
23:55be looking out
23:56for himself.
23:58Billy, trust me.
24:01Really?
24:02Do you really think
24:04that is the case
24:04after we hurt him
24:06and Sally?
24:08And, Chelsea,
24:08now that you're
24:09in Newman Media,
24:09he's got to see you
24:11as you're deep
24:12in the enemy's camp.
24:13I can convince him
24:14that I am the voice
24:15of reason.
24:16The cooler head
24:17that could prevail.
24:20If Billy is aligning
24:21himself with Cain,
24:22it must be
24:23an act of desperation.
24:25I mean, he was gutted
24:25when his mother
24:26betrayed him
24:27and sold Chancellor
24:28to Victor and Nicky.
24:31He wants to prove it wrong.
24:33Yes, and now he's
24:34aligning with Cain
24:34to help him do that.
24:36Well, Cain was able
24:36to make a lot of money
24:37in a very short
24:38amount of time.
24:39Maybe he's hoping
24:40some of that magic
24:41will rub off on him.
24:43Okay, Billy is
24:45not Cain.
24:47He's better than Cain.
24:49That's not where
24:50I was going with this.
24:51I just think I would
24:52be the best person
24:53to convince him
24:53he doesn't need
24:54to resort to deceit
24:56and subterfuge
24:57to get what he wants.
24:58Why do you always
24:59come to Billy's defense?
25:01No matter what
25:01the guy does.
25:02No, I just think
25:03you're not objective
25:04about him.
25:06Okay.
25:07I hate the guy,
25:10but I don't think
25:11I'm the one
25:11that's not seeing Billy
25:12for who he really is.
25:14Okay, in a lot of ways
25:15he's even worse
25:17than Cain.
25:18What Billy wants
25:20is not just success
25:22and wealth
25:23and power.
25:25Billy's out for blood.
25:27I just want to know
25:34what's on your shopping list
25:35so I know
25:35what to look for
25:36once we're inside
25:37after we've hacked
25:39into all those
25:40company servers.
25:42I promise
25:43I'll give you the details
25:43once we're inside.
25:45The questions
25:46are going to have to wait.
25:47I have a meeting
25:47with Victor.
25:47Oh.
25:51Your meeting
25:51is with Victor.
25:54Oh.
25:56What's it about?
25:59I can't tell you
25:59because I don't know.
26:02Well, do you want me
26:03to go with you?
26:03Is it downstairs?
26:05I don't think
26:06he'd appreciate me
26:06bringing a plus one
26:07to this party
26:08because it's at the ranch.
26:10Oh, it's at the ranch.
26:12His turf.
26:13I don't think
26:16I have to warn you
26:16to be careful, do I?
26:20Victor's underestimating me.
26:21I'm not going to
26:22make that mistake with him.
26:39Look, I know
26:40all of this sounds impossible
26:41but I would not
26:42underestimate
26:43what Kane
26:44is capable of.
26:45Oh, yeah.
26:46As Jumar,
26:47in six short years,
26:48he established
26:49an empire
26:50that should take
26:50that century to build.
26:53He has the money,
26:53the power,
26:54the audacity
26:55to make a play
26:56for every legacy company
26:58in Genoa City.
26:59Wouldn't be the first time
27:00somebody tried
27:01to take something
27:01that wasn't theirs.
27:03I mean, look,
27:03if you're asking me,
27:04I think it's a big enough
27:05sandbox for all of us
27:06to play in.
27:07Yeah, only he wants
27:08all the toys.
27:11Tell me something.
27:11He knows how close
27:13we are.
27:13Why would he divulge
27:14that Chabot is a target?
27:17Wouldn't he consider
27:18the possibility
27:19that you would share
27:20all of this information
27:21with me,
27:22share his entire plan?
27:23He gave me one
27:26really good reason
27:28not to.
27:31Look, Jack,
27:31I'm just gonna be honest
27:33with you, okay?
27:34Look,
27:36if that conversation
27:37didn't happen
27:38with my mother,
27:38if it didn't go
27:39as bad as it did,
27:41I might have kept you
27:43in the dark.
27:45Are you telling me
27:46he willingly
27:47shared this information
27:49with you,
27:49hoping they would
27:51persuade you
27:52to side with him
27:53against your own brother?
27:54Did you even
27:55consider that?
27:57Billy,
27:58please tell me
27:59I am wrong.
28:00Tell me
28:00you would not
28:01sell out Chabot
28:02and our family
28:04to get Chancellor back.
28:06this is something.
28:12You rebuilt the old house
28:14after it burned down,
28:15huh?
28:16Brick by brick.
28:20So,
28:21let's get to the point,
28:22shall we?
28:23We shall.
28:27Have you given
28:27any thought
28:28to the proposal
28:29I made to you
28:30and this?
28:32You want to know
28:32if I need your help
28:33taking over Chabot?
28:36Believe me, Jack,
28:39I was blown away
28:40when Cain told me
28:41about his plans
28:41to take over
28:42every company
28:43in the city.
28:43But you said no,
28:45right?
28:45You told him
28:46to go to hell.
28:47I didn't.
28:49I needed to consider
28:51the option.
28:51Options?
28:53I would like to think
28:54betraying your family,
28:55selling out
28:56your father's company,
28:58the company he built
28:59for the Abbots
28:59and future generations
29:01of Abbots to come
29:02was not an option.
29:03What I meant was
29:04I needed to hear him out.
29:07Just in case
29:08some of this
29:08was in play.
29:09No, I'm the one
29:10who's feeling played
29:11right now.
29:11Jack, you gotta trust me,
29:12okay?
29:13Push comes to shove,
29:14I will always
29:15have your back.
29:17If Cain ever
29:17asks me
29:18to go against you
29:20or anyone in our family,
29:21the answer will always be
29:22no.
29:25I am relieved
29:26to hear that.
29:28So how did you
29:29and Cain leave things?
29:31Told him I had
29:32to think about it.
29:33Well, don't waste
29:33any more time.
29:34Tell him you're in.
29:36What?
29:37How do we know
29:38what Cain's going to do
29:39before he does it?
29:41With you on the inside,
29:42we have all the information
29:43we need to protect
29:45what is our families.
29:47And what about
29:48Abbott Communications?
29:50I will remain
29:51the principal investor,
29:53but we just agreed
29:54to mutually separate.
29:57And if we agree
29:57to keep things the same,
29:59then that's mutual too.
30:03Billy, you said
30:04family comes first.
30:05We both learned that
30:07from our father.
30:10Yes, we did.
30:12I can see
30:14where this rift
30:14with Jill
30:15has hurt you deeply.
30:19I am sorry about that.
30:21But Cain is involved
30:23in that too.
30:23This isn't just about
30:24Jebeau.
30:26No, it isn't about
30:26the family.
30:27It's about you.
30:29You should not be
30:30in business
30:31with that man.
30:33You always do
30:34have my back,
30:34though.
30:35I've been trying
30:36to tell you that
30:37for a long time.
30:38I told Cain
30:44that me and you
30:45we were going to
30:47go our separate ways
30:48and that you
30:50were going to
30:52get bought out.
30:54We're going to
30:55use that to our
30:55advantage.
30:56How?
30:57I will handle that.
31:00What do you say
31:01we work together
31:02to bring Cain Ashby
31:03down from the inside?
31:05Hey.
31:11What are you guys
31:12talking about?
31:15Just telling
31:15Jack about my
31:16conversation with my
31:17mother and how
31:18she continues
31:19to demonstrate
31:20her complete
31:20lack of faith in me.
31:21Thank you
31:22for hearing me
31:24out once again.
31:27Jack, you don't
31:28have to leave
31:28on my account.
31:29No, I have
31:30to be going.
31:32Enjoy the rest
31:33of your evening.
31:35Both of you.
31:35to be continued.
31:44It's so funny
31:45for a second.
31:46I got the feeling
31:47that you were
31:48selling Cain out.
31:51Phyllis,
31:51why would I do
31:52that?
31:54Cain's the only
31:55person in quite
31:57a while that
31:57actually thinks
31:58that I can bring
31:58value to his
31:59business.
32:01I'm Team Cain,
32:03okay?
32:03Well, Team Cain
32:04doesn't want you
32:05anymore.
32:06Phyllis, we've
32:07got to stop
32:07doing this.
32:09We've got to
32:09stop undercutting
32:10each other.
32:11There's enough
32:11power and money
32:12and all of this
32:12for both of us.
32:13Well, I'm sorry,
32:14it's not my call.
32:17Cain doesn't think
32:18you can commit.
32:19And it's not
32:20surprising because
32:21we all know that
32:22you have commitment
32:23issues.
32:23I don't have
32:24commitment issues.
32:24You also have
32:24mommy issues.
32:25And Cain feels
32:28that all of
32:31your tension
32:32with Jill
32:33and your jealousy
32:35of his relationship
32:36with her
32:37will affect you
32:38in business.
32:39So he wanted me
32:40to personally
32:41come here
32:42to tell you
32:43that the offer
32:46is off
32:48the table.
32:55Billy has
32:56bad intentions,
32:57Chelsea.
32:58This isn't about
32:59just getting ahead.
33:01Okay?
33:02If he wanted
33:02to do that,
33:03he would have
33:03taken the opportunity
33:04with Jack
33:05and Abbey Communications
33:06and he would have
33:07run with that.
33:09But what did he do?
33:10He looked you
33:12and everybody
33:13else in the eyes
33:14and said that
33:14he had moved on.
33:16But him
33:17aligning with Cain
33:18proves
33:19that is not true.
33:22For Billy,
33:23this is all about
33:24payback.
33:26Victor has had
33:27more than one
33:27opportunity
33:28to walk away
33:29from his fight
33:29with Billy
33:30and the Abbots.
33:31And if he hadn't
33:32taken so many
33:32cheap shots,
33:33I'd be more inclined
33:34to believe him
33:35when he cries foul.
33:40You know,
33:40there comes a time
33:41where you just
33:41have to pick up a side.
33:44And Billy
33:44has picked his.
33:46So maybe it's time
33:47for you to just
33:48let go of your
33:48devotion to him
33:49and side with
33:52your family.
33:58So Cain told you
33:59all that?
33:59Uh-huh.
34:00We had a heart-to-heart.
34:01About me?
34:02Well, about Arabesque.
34:05You know,
34:05what we're doing
34:06is it's big.
34:09There's a lot
34:09at stake.
34:10Agreed.
34:11Well, that's why
34:13the leadership team,
34:14we need to be in sync.
34:15Yeah.
34:16And we can't have
34:18a weak link.
34:19Also, agreed.
34:21But I think we differ
34:22on the understanding
34:23of a weak link.
34:24I don't think we do.
34:26See, Cain and I
34:27are in alignment.
34:30Why would I believe
34:32anything that comes
34:33out of your mind?
34:33Because everything
34:34I say is true.
34:35You know what I think?
34:39I think you took
34:40advantage of the situation
34:41when I left the suite
34:42and you got Cain
34:44to reverse course.
34:46My question is,
34:47is this payback
34:48for what happened
34:50to Chancellor
34:50and Abby Communications?
34:51when are you going
34:53to understand
34:54that me letting you go
34:55was for your own good?
34:56Oh, I,
34:57you know what?
34:59Billy,
34:59how do you feel?
35:01How do you feel
35:01when someone saves you
35:03from yourself
35:03and they offer you
35:05a job
35:06and then they take it away
35:07and tell you
35:08some bogus thing
35:09like it's for your own good?
35:11How do you feel?
35:13You know what,
35:13Phyllis?
35:13I did save your life.
35:15You'd have been gassed
35:16to death
35:16if I didn't come through that.
35:17You didn't save my life.
35:18Nick saved my life.
35:19This is how you repay him?
35:21By taking over Newman
35:22and his family company?
35:27If Cain's going to cut me out,
35:28he's going to look me in the eye
35:29and tell me himself.
35:30I'm sorry.
35:31He can't.
35:32He's unavailable.
35:33Oh, he will be available for me.
35:34No, it's over, Billy.
35:36You're out.
35:39We'll see.
35:47I told you back in Nice
35:53the only company
35:54I was interested in acquiring
35:55was Chancellor.
35:59And I was supposed
36:00to believe you?
36:02Okay.
36:03Yeah, I was less than up front
36:04about my motives
36:05for bringing you
36:05and everyone else
36:06to France.
36:10Less than up front?
36:12That's putting in elegantly.
36:15You lied.
36:17What do you think
36:18the truth is, Victor?
36:21That you bought
36:22a lot of real estate
36:23around Genoa City.
36:27I used to be so good
36:28at keeping secrets.
36:31I mean,
36:31you can't really be mad
36:32about me speculating
36:33on some real estate
36:34in Genoa City.
36:36But I imagine
36:37you are probably
36:38pretty furious
36:39about Nicky
36:40wanting to, uh,
36:42sell me Chancellor
36:43in exchange
36:44for Nick's freedom.
36:46You know,
36:47when I thought
36:48that he was guilty
36:49of trying to murder me,
36:49it seemed like
36:50a fair and equitable trade.
36:52His freedom,
36:54Chancellor?
36:57It's a bad move.
37:00It was worth a shot.
37:02Seems like you're
37:03still interested
37:03in working with me
37:04on this new venture
37:05of yours.
37:05Maybe you should change
37:08your focus
37:08from Chancellor
37:10to Jabot.
37:14You'll support that move?
37:16I'm more than supported.
37:20I put my weight behind her.
37:23Together,
37:24we could crush
37:25the average.
37:28Do you have a deal?
37:29next week
37:37on The Young
37:38and the Restless.
37:39Sounds like she's
37:39starting to mean more
37:40to you.
37:41I'm afraid
37:42I'm starting to develop
37:44real feelings
37:44for Tessa.
37:45Only one problem
37:46with this land.
37:47It requires
37:48putting all our faith
37:50and perhaps
37:51the future
37:52of the family company
37:53in Billy's hands.
37:54All aboard!
