01:29ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА
05:12But you know how these things go.
05:15I wanted to get serious and she needed to leave LA.
05:18So that is what happened.
05:21But I won't lie.
05:23I do regret not trying to convince her to stay.
05:25Well, your loss, my good fortune.
05:30What am I supposed to do?
05:51Play the femme fatale who lures them back into her evil clutches?
05:55You simply helped me point out what a weak and treacherous man kind of is.
06:00Why should I trust you?
06:02Why should I do anything for you after the way you treated me with Glissade?
06:07That's right, Victor.
06:08Who's to say you wouldn't do this to me again?
06:12Kyle is a weak link, not me.
06:15Yeah, well, he was just here.
06:18Victor, whatever he said, whatever he offered you, I can counter it.
06:23Miss Charles, thank you for your service.
06:29You're fine.
06:32Why can't anything ever be easy for me?
06:35Everything I do, everything I want always has to be so damn hard.
06:41Text Sally Spectra.
06:49Hey, Sally.
06:52I'm starting to have second thoughts about this Victor thing.
06:56Like, yeah, yeah, I know you think it's a bad idea and it's too risky and...
07:01Maybe you're right.
07:03You know, Victor screwed me over once.
07:06Why wouldn't he do it again?
07:07Except...
07:13Except he wants something now that only I can give him.
07:17And that's what gives me an edge.
07:23This could be my last shot at running my own company
07:28and proving to everyone that I belong.
07:32So why do I keep questioning it?
07:35Could you answer that?
07:39I don't know, but I need to get rid of all of these doubts.
07:46Oh.
07:48I cannot send that.
07:54It'll be okay.
07:57I will be okay.
07:58Okay.
08:05So this conversation
08:17stays between the two of us, right?
08:21Yes, of course.
08:23Okay, I want you to look me in the eye
08:24and give me your word.
08:27Look, Lily, we're both asking for some degree of honesty
08:32between the two of us.
08:36So,
08:37those are my terms.
08:39What, you want me to promise not to tell?
08:43Yeah, that's it.
08:45And you think that you know me well enough
08:46that you can look in my eyes
08:47and see if I'm being honest with you?
08:49Yes.
08:51As a matter of fact, I do.
08:52Wow, that's some trick.
08:54No, it's not a trick.
08:58It's just a feeling.
09:00I mean, you do play your cards close to the best, Lily.
09:04But, underneath it all,
09:06I believe you're an honorable person.
09:09So, if you were to tell me something
09:11with those beautiful eyes,
09:14me to my,
09:16then I would have to believe you were telling the truth.
09:21Okay, what's so funny?
09:22I mean, has that line ever worked for you?
09:25Was that a line?
09:26Yes, it was a line.
09:27It was very, very bad.
09:29I think you need to bring your game up to the 21st century.
09:31Okay, well, I will definitely
09:33take that note into consideration.
09:38But, just so you know,
09:41they are beautiful.
09:42I promise
09:51that this conversation
09:53stays between us.
09:55Good.
09:56Then I'm ready to talk.
10:01But not here.
10:02Hey, there you are.
10:18So, how's my surprise coming along?
10:21Just about ready.
10:22You can come home now
10:23if you want to.
10:25Okay, I'm on my way.
10:28Great.
10:28I'll be waiting.
10:29I accept, but
10:46it is incumbent upon you
10:49to open my granddaughter's eyes
10:52to the man Kyle Abbott really is.
10:56Consider it done.
10:57Then you and I have a deal.
11:02You can do this, Audra.
11:05You will do this.
11:10I guess this means our visit is over.
11:13That's right.
11:16Oh, and to answer your question from earlier,
11:19I'm here by myself
11:21because Audra asked me
11:23to delay coming home.
11:25She's playing a surprise for me.
11:27You could have told me that before.
11:31Technically, it's none of your business.
11:35You're probably right about that.
11:37I do ask a lot of questions.
11:40Sometimes,
11:41it gets on people's nerves.
11:43Uh-huh.
11:45Big surprise, huh?
11:48They sound like Audra.
11:50She always did like to keep you guessing.
11:52Is that based on those two or three dates you had?
11:58Well, we were friends
11:59before we were anything else.
12:01So I think I know her pretty well.
12:04And at the risk of being annoying,
12:06I will say it again.
12:09I hope you realize how lucky you are.
12:12And don't blow with her like I did.
12:15Holden, is there some kind of point
12:20you're trying to make here?
12:22Just give me some friendly advice.
12:25You can take it or leave it.
12:26No, that's not what you're doing.
12:28Because we're not friends
12:29and I didn't ask you for advice.
12:31Well, then, what do you think it is?
12:36I don't know.
12:38But if I had to take a stab at it,
12:40it feels like you're trying to draw
12:43some kind of battle line here.
12:47Like we're rivals for Audra's affection.
12:51And I can assure you
12:52that it's not the case.
12:55So,
12:57is this going to turn into a problem for me?
12:59Do I need to concern myself
13:03about you crossing that line?
13:09Well, I hope you don't mind
13:10us coming all the way up here.
13:12Well, it's definitely private.
13:14It's what you wanted.
13:17So, I am curious about one thing.
13:21What's that?
13:22Why are you suddenly so open
13:24to telling me about Dumont?
13:26Like, what's changed
13:28just because I asked?
13:31Wouldn't that be enough?
13:33I'm being serious now.
13:35I have my reasons.
13:37Okay, well,
13:37I would love to hear them.
13:41Well,
13:42maybe it's because my
13:43priorities have changed.
13:47I mean,
13:47I just reunited with my mother
13:49and I found this
13:51long-lost brother
13:53I never knew I had.
13:54But then I find out
13:56that my mother's sick.
13:58Very sick.
14:00So,
14:01it's
14:01gotten me to think
14:02less about work
14:03and more about
14:04well,
14:06you know.
14:08Family.
14:09Yeah.
14:11And it's kind of
14:11a new experience for me.
14:13After all these years.
14:15Yeah,
14:16I can understand that.
14:17And maybe I also
14:19wanted to try to get
14:20on your better side, too.
14:23I don't know why
14:24you care about my opinion.
14:25I mean,
14:25you barely even know me.
14:27Because, man,
14:28it bothers me
14:30that you don't trust me.
14:32That you think
14:33I'm here
14:33trying to pull
14:34one over
14:35on your family
14:36or whatever
14:36you think it is
14:37that I'm doing
14:38because I'm not.
14:41I like you,
14:42Lily.
14:43And I think
14:44I made that
14:45obvious enough,
14:46okay?
14:48And I just,
14:51I don't know,
14:51I don't want
14:51the people I like
14:53to think it'll be.
14:54That's all.
14:56Well, look,
14:57I have my guard up
14:58because I have been
14:59burned
15:00by people
15:01that I have trusted
15:02and known
15:03a lot longer
15:04than you.
15:06Fair enough.
15:08Look,
15:08all I'm saying
15:09to you
15:09is that
15:11if coming clean
15:12with what I know
15:13about Dumas
15:14helps to erase
15:15any of the doubt
15:16in your mind,
15:18then it's worth
15:19the risk to me.
15:21You mean that,
15:22don't you?
15:23I said it,
15:24didn't I?
15:25Well,
15:26people say
15:26a lot of things
15:27they don't mean,
15:28but
15:28that did sound real.
15:32Because it's true.
15:37All right.
15:37so what can you
15:40tell me?
15:42Well,
15:43to begin with,
15:47Aristotle of Dumas
15:48doesn't exist.
15:51no need
15:59to get upset,
16:00Nate.
16:01I'm obviously
16:02sending you
16:02the wrong signals
16:03here.
16:05I wish you
16:06and Audra
16:07nothing but the best.
16:08I'm not asking
16:09for your blessing
16:10or even a promise
16:11to back off.
16:12Just wondering
16:13why you keep
16:14bringing up
16:14Audra's name
16:15in whatever kind
16:16of relationship
16:16you had with her.
16:17I don't care
16:19and I'm not
16:19interested.
16:21Is that clear
16:21enough for you?
16:24It is now.
16:25It always has
16:26been, Holden.
16:27Why has it taken
16:28you so long
16:29to get that message?
16:31Maybe it's because
16:32it's the only thing
16:33we have in common.
16:35Just
16:36trying to make
16:36friendly chit-chat.
16:39Right.
16:43You don't believe me?
16:45I'm just
16:46trying to
16:47think back
16:48to a point
16:49in time
16:49on planet Earth
16:50where two
16:51grown men
16:51shot the bull
16:52about something
16:53like that
16:53as a way
16:54to bond.
16:57You want
16:58to have a
16:58conversation
16:58with me
16:59about something
17:00we have in common?
17:01I assume
17:02you and Damien
17:02are still
17:03friends and
17:04co-workers,
17:04right?
17:05No,
17:06we are.
17:07Damien is
17:08my brother.
17:10We have
17:10that in common
17:11too,
17:11but we're
17:12not sitting
17:12here chit-chatting
17:13about him,
17:14are we?
17:16Nate,
17:16I told
17:16you.
17:18There's
17:19nothing to worry
17:19about,
17:20okay?
17:20I'm not
17:20worried.
17:21I just want
17:22to make it
17:23clear to you
17:23that this
17:24is getting
17:24old,
17:25so if you
17:26want to have
17:27a conversation
17:27with me,
17:29then make it
17:30about something
17:30else.
17:34All right,
17:35point taken.
17:36All right,
17:37I got it.
17:38And whether you
17:39choose to believe
17:39me or not,
17:40I'm honestly
17:42happy that
17:43Audrey found
17:43someone who
17:44seems to
17:45make her
17:45happy.
17:47Enjoy your
17:48drink.
17:53Well,
17:54I already
17:54figured that
17:55Aristotle Dumas
17:56was an alias.
17:58What was
17:59your first clue?
18:00Well,
18:00I mean,
18:01the two
18:01companies that
18:02you run,
18:03Dangler Properties,
18:04Monte Cristo
18:05Investments,
18:06The Count of
18:07Monte Cristo
18:07is written by
18:08Alexander Dumas.
18:10I mean,
18:11for a guy
18:12who's so
18:13mysterious,
18:13I feel like
18:14it's pretty
18:14obvious why
18:15he chose
18:15those names,
18:16right?
18:18It could be
18:19he just liked
18:19that story.
18:21Well,
18:21you know the
18:22story,
18:23right?
18:23This guy,
18:25Edmond
18:25Dantes,
18:26he is in
18:28some island
18:29prison for
18:2914 years
18:31for a crime
18:31he didn't
18:32commit,
18:33escapes,
18:34becomes rich,
18:35and takes
18:36on this name,
18:37The Count of
18:37Monte Cristo,
18:38to take revenge
18:39on the people
18:39who betrayed
18:40him.
18:41Yeah,
18:41that's the one.
18:42So is that
18:43what your boss
18:44is going to do?
18:45Is he trying
18:46to seek revenge?
18:48Really,
18:48I wouldn't know.
18:49Well,
18:50you must know
18:50his real name.
18:51No,
18:52we've never
18:52even met
18:53face to face.
18:54Not even
18:54when he hired
18:55you to run
18:55the two companies?
18:56No,
18:57our only dealings
18:58were either
18:58through phone,
19:00email,
19:00or text.
19:01Okay,
19:01for all I know,
19:02it wasn't even
19:02him I was dealing
19:03with,
19:04okay?
19:04I could have
19:04been talking
19:05to some go-between,
19:06someone who
19:07worked for someone
19:07else,
19:08who worked for
19:08someone else.
19:09Yeah,
19:09but he hires
19:10you,
19:12I mean,
19:12someone with,
19:13no offense,
19:14no business experience
19:16to run two
19:17profitable companies?
19:19Why?
19:20I must have
19:21somehow made
19:21a good impression
19:22on him.
19:22Yeah,
19:23but how did you
19:24even get
19:24on his radar?
19:26I didn't.
19:28It was the
19:29other way around.
19:31You see,
19:31Dumas
19:31was on my radar.
19:39Hi.
19:40Hi.
19:41Hi.
19:46Wow.

19:49used to
19:49that kind
19:49of hello.

22:19Wow.
22:22Thanks.

22:24beginning to
22:24wonder if it
22:25would ever
22:25happen.
22:26Come on.
22:27I never
22:28had any
22:28doubts.
22:29Yeah,
22:30well,

22:30more than
22:30a few
22:31of them.

22:55But it
22:55killed me
22:56to have so
22:57many doors
22:58slammed in
22:58my face.
22:59to the
23:01point where
23:01I was
23:02starting to
23:03lose confidence
23:03in myself.
23:06Thinking that
23:06maybe I
23:08wasn't as
23:09good as I
23:09thought I
23:09was.
23:10Well,

24:55I'll see

24:56buddy.
24:57Bye.
25:09Hey.
25:10Can I get
25:11a scotch
25:11neat,
25:12please?
25:13Thank you.
25:14Must be
25:16family
25:16hour.
25:18What was
25:19that?
25:20Your
25:21cousin
25:21Nate
25:22was here
25:22a little
25:22while ago.
25:25I can
25:26move
25:26if it
25:27bothers
25:27you.
25:28No
25:28need.
25:29It's
25:29fine.
25:36Seems
25:36like you
25:36and
25:37Damien
25:37pitched a
25:38tent
25:38here.
25:40Makes
25:40me wonder
25:41if Damien's
25:41going to be
25:42getting a
25:42remote office
25:43in Genoa City
25:43given all the
25:44time he's
25:44been spending
25:45in town.
25:46Nate was
25:47wondering the
25:48same thing.
25:50Sort of
25:50makes a person
25:51feel like they
25:51might not be
25:52welcome.
25:54Well,
25:54that's probably
25:56because you and
25:56Damien keep
25:57threatening to
25:57leave.
25:58And yet,
26:00y'all are still
26:00here.
26:01Damien's
26:02spending time
26:02in town
26:03with his
26:04very sick
26:04mother.
26:05And if you
26:06want to make
26:06a bigger deal
26:06out of it,
26:07be my guest.
26:07No,
26:08I don't mean
26:09any disrespect
26:10at all.
26:11Just
26:12makes me
26:13curious as
26:13to how
26:14Aristotle
26:15Dumas
26:16feels about
26:17one of his
26:17company
26:18front men
26:19taking time
26:20away for
26:20personal
26:20business.
26:22I wouldn't
26:22know.
26:23I work for
26:24Damien.
26:25Nobody else.
26:26You don't
26:26know anything
26:27about Dumas?
26:28Why?
26:29Am I
26:29supposed to?
26:31That's
26:31a good
26:32question.
26:33You tell
26:33me.
26:33for Amy's
26:37sake,
26:37though,
26:37I hope
26:38that Damien
26:38is spending
26:38some time
26:39with her.
26:40I know
26:41Nate mentioned
26:41how good
26:42it's been
26:42for her
26:43health,
26:43having him
26:44back in
26:44her life.
26:45Damien and
26:45I work
26:46together.
26:47I don't
26:47keep track
26:48of where
26:49he goes
26:50and he
26:50doesn't
26:50keep track
26:51of where
26:51I go.
26:53Hell,
26:53for all
26:53I know,
26:54he could
26:55be out
26:55right now
26:55on a
26:56date
26:56with
26:56your
26:56sister.
27:01So
27:01you made
27:02contact
27:03with
27:03Jamal?
27:03Yeah.
27:05I figured
27:05it was
27:06my only
27:07chance.
27:08Okay,
27:08well,
27:09why him
27:10in particular?
27:11Because
27:11up until
27:12six years
27:12ago,
27:14no one
27:14even heard
27:15of the
27:15man.
27:16And then
27:16suddenly,
27:17he's a
27:18force,
27:18a legend.
27:20That's
27:21impressive.
27:22And I
27:23wanted a
27:23piece of
27:24it.
27:24Okay,
27:25so how
27:25did you
27:25do it?
27:27Well,
27:27I knew
27:27some people
27:28in L.A.
27:28who said
27:29they had
27:30a connection
27:30with him.
27:31Now,
27:31I didn't
27:31know if
27:32that was
27:32true or
27:33not.
27:33But I
27:35figured it
27:35was worth
27:35a shot.
27:36So I
27:37invented a
27:38completely
27:38bogus
27:39backstory
27:39about
27:39myself
27:40thinking,
27:41well,
27:42he probably
27:42won't buy it,
27:43but what
27:43the hell?
27:45What do I
27:45have to
27:46lose?
27:48Then a few
27:49weeks later,
27:50I got a
27:51phone call.
27:52From
27:53Dumas?
27:53Yeah,
27:54that's who
27:54said it
27:55was.
27:55Like I
27:57said,
27:57the man
27:57has many
27:58layers of
27:59protection.
28:01Anyway,
28:01I just
28:02went for
28:02it.
28:03I pitched
28:04myself as
28:05this
28:05experienced,
28:06savvy
28:06businessman
28:07and lied
28:08like a
28:08son of a
28:09bitch
28:09about my
28:10credentials.
28:12But
28:13somehow
28:13I pulled
28:14it off.
28:15Dumas
28:16sounded
28:16impressed.
28:17I mean,
28:18this makes
28:19no sense.
28:19He would
28:20have been
28:21able to
28:21figure out
28:22easily if
28:22you were
28:22lying.
28:23Yeah,
28:24he probably
28:24knew the
28:25minute I
28:25opened my
28:25mouth.
28:27Most
28:27business
28:27folks would
28:28have probably
28:28lost my
28:29number if
28:29they had
28:30some nobody
28:31waste their
28:31time like
28:32that.
28:33But not
28:33him.
28:34Yeah,
28:34but why do
28:34you think
28:35that was?
28:37I don't
28:37know.
28:38Maybe I
28:39impressed him
28:40with the way
28:40I pitched
28:40myself.
28:41Maybe he
28:42figured he
28:42could use
28:42somebody like
28:43that to
28:44be the
28:44face of
28:44one of
28:45his
28:45franchises
28:46because
28:46that's
28:47ultimately
28:47what happened.
28:49So
28:50that's how
28:51you came
28:51to run
28:52two of
28:52his
28:53companies
28:53was
28:53off
28:53of
28:54one
28:54phone
28:55call.
28:56Demar
28:56had
28:56these
28:57two
28:57businesses.
28:58He had
28:58to
28:59pretend
28:59to
29:00unload
29:00while
29:01still
29:01properly
29:02maintaining
29:02control.
29:04So
29:05I
29:05became
29:06the
29:06front
29:06man.
29:07The
29:07figurehead
29:08owner
29:08who
29:08could
29:08sell
29:10the
29:10lie.
29:11And
29:12you
29:12never
29:12hesitated.
29:14Lily,
29:14I didn't
29:14have two
29:15coins
29:15to rub
29:15together.
29:17Okay?
29:17So
29:18when an
29:18opportunity
29:19like that
29:19falls into
29:20your lap,
29:22why
29:22hesitate
29:22or
29:23ask
29:24questions?
29:25Because
29:26the whole
29:26thing
29:27sounds
29:28shady.
29:29I mean,
29:29you didn't
29:30think anything
29:30about it
29:31that maybe
29:31Dumas
29:31is setting
29:32you up?
29:32Yeah,
29:33of course
29:33I did.
29:35But hey,
29:35if he was
29:35the devil,
29:36I was
29:38ready to
29:38dance.
29:46Can I
29:47ask you
29:47a question?
29:49Yes.
29:50If it's
29:51only one.
29:53Whatever
29:54we're having
29:54for dinner
29:55smells
29:55amazing.
29:58It is?
29:59That's not
30:00a question.
30:01I was
30:02getting to
30:02that.
30:04So,
30:05are you
30:05planning on
30:06keeping the
30:06surprise about
30:07your job
30:07until after
30:08we've eaten?
30:10Maybe.
30:10what?
30:15Are you
30:16hungry?
30:16I was
30:18just about
30:19to ask
30:19if dinner
30:20could stay
30:21warm
30:21or
30:22a lot
30:23of
30:23while longer.
30:24I made
30:25sure it
30:25would.
30:35Um,
30:36Holden,
30:37right?
30:38Yeah.
30:39Yeah.
30:40I don't know
30:41where you're
30:41getting your
30:41information from,
30:43but Damien
30:43and Lily
30:44sure as hell
30:45ain't dating.
30:46I know
30:47that.
30:48Okay.
30:49So,
30:50what was
30:50the comment
30:50about then?
30:52He's trying
30:53to get a
30:53reaction out
30:53of me
30:53or what?
30:55You're
30:55kind of
30:56a prickly
30:56guy,
30:56aren't you?
30:58You must
30:58run in
30:58the family.
31:01Yeah,
31:01it must.
31:02Are you
31:02going to
31:02answer my
31:02question?
31:04Relax.
31:05Relax.
31:05It's just
31:05talk.
31:07Although,
31:08I do
31:09know that
31:09he likes
31:10her a lot.
31:11He likes
31:12her.
31:12Well,
31:13I know
31:14for a fact
31:14that Lily
31:15doesn't like
31:15him.
31:15so,
31:18any idea
31:19that your
31:19friend had
31:19about having
31:20a shot
31:20at Lily
31:20that's
31:21long gone?
31:23It's been
31:23my experience
31:24when people
31:25make a point
31:25to declare
31:26that they're
31:26not into
31:27somebody.
31:29It's usually
31:30more of them
31:31trying to convince
31:31themselves than
31:32anybody else.
31:35Yeah,
31:35that's not the
31:36case this time.
31:37If you say
31:38so.
31:38look,
31:40man,
31:41I have
31:41no idea
31:42how Lily
31:43feels about
31:44Damien,
31:45nor do I
31:46care,
31:46for that
31:46matter.
31:48But I
31:48wouldn't
31:49rule him
31:49out.
31:50If there's
31:51one thing I
31:51know about
31:52Damien Cain,
31:53it's that he
31:54doesn't shy
31:55away from
31:55going after
31:55what he
31:56wants.
31:56I've been
32:03doing this
32:03for a while
32:04now.
32:06And so far,
32:06I haven't
32:07found any
32:07reason to
32:08complain.
32:09I just,
32:10I don't
32:12understand.
32:13Why does
32:14Dumas need
32:15to make it
32:15seem like
32:16he sold
32:16the companies
32:17while secretly
32:18maintaining
32:19control?
32:21I don't
32:21know,
32:22maybe he
32:22wants to
32:23use it
32:23as a
32:23tax
32:24loophole
32:24or something.
32:25Look,
32:25I don't
32:25know.
32:27And frankly,
32:27I don't
32:28care.
32:29Okay,
32:29because this
32:29provided me
32:30with a
32:30ticket to
32:31a better
32:32life.
32:33A life I've
32:33always dreamed
32:34of but
32:35always seemed
32:35unattainable
32:37before any
32:38of this
32:39happened.
32:40It was
32:40that tough
32:41for you?
32:42I was
32:43pretty much
32:43scraping the
32:44bottom.
32:46Which is
32:46probably why
32:47I was
32:48desperate
32:49enough to
32:49create a
32:50brand new
32:51Damien Cain.
32:52A more
32:53confident and
32:54successful one.
32:55I figured
32:56if I
32:56played that
32:57role long
32:57enough,
32:58it might
33:00eventually
33:00come true.
33:02Yeah,
33:02I get it.
33:03Fake it
33:03till you
33:04make it.
33:07Yeah.
33:07after my dad
33:10died
33:11and I
33:13broke
33:14off
33:14from my
33:14mom,
33:16I was
33:18a rudderless
33:18ship,
33:19but I was
33:20determined to
33:21make my mark,
33:22to make him
33:23proud.
33:24I never
33:26really knew
33:27how to
33:27get there
33:28until
33:28Damien opened
33:30that door
33:30for me.
33:32It wasn't
33:33easy.
33:34It still
33:34isn't easy,
33:35but I'm
33:36here.
33:38I made
33:39it.
33:42And that
33:43is something,
33:44isn't it?
33:48Well,
33:49I really
33:50appreciate you
33:51telling me all
33:51this.
33:52I told
33:53you I
33:53would.
33:56I'm a man
33:56of my
33:57word.
33:58And I hope
33:59you're starting
34:00to believe
34:00that now.
34:02But I've
34:02got a question
34:03for you.
34:05Why do
34:05you care
34:06so much
34:06about this?
34:07let me
34:22make myself
34:22clear.
34:23I am
34:24with a
34:26handsome,
34:26successful,
34:27brilliant man
34:28who treats
34:28me with
34:29respect.
34:29So if you're
34:29thinking about
34:30me, I
34:31don't need to
34:32know.
34:32Keep it to
34:33yourself.
34:33I'm not
34:35opposed to
34:36having a
34:37friendship-only
34:38relationship with
34:39you.
34:41But I also
34:43can't trust
34:43you not to
34:44take advantage
34:45of the
34:45situation.
34:52So,
34:54dinner?
34:56In a little
34:56while.
34:56I'm kind
34:59of hungry.
35:00Aren't you?
35:01Yes, me
35:02too.
35:03And this
35:04has been an
35:04amazing evening.
35:06But the
35:08suspense is
35:08really killing
35:09me.
35:10Okay?
35:11Just tell
35:12me about
35:13the job.
35:20I
35:20convinced
35:21Victor
35:22Newman to
35:23make amends
35:23for the way
35:24he treated
35:24me with
35:25Glissade.
35:26So he's
35:28finding a
35:28new company
35:29for me
35:30to run.
35:35Are you
35:36serious?
35:37It's
35:38going to
35:38be my
35:38own
35:39company,
35:39Nate.
35:40Not
35:40one of
35:41the
35:41Newman
35:42divisions,
35:43not
35:43something I
35:43stole out
35:44from
35:44Undertucker,
35:45but something
35:46brand new.
35:48I made
35:49it clear to
35:49Victor that
35:50anything else
35:51was a
35:51non-starter,
35:52and he
35:52agreed.
35:53I'm going
35:54to be
35:54working again.
35:55I'm going
35:56to be my
35:56own boss
35:57calling the
35:58shots.
35:59So,
36:00please,
36:01you can
36:04be happy
36:04for me.
36:06Can't you?
36:10I'm sorry.
36:12I can't.
36:13do you
36:13want to
36:14do you
36:16have a
36:17good job?
36:18I'm sorry.
36:19I'm sorry.
36:20Well,
36:21I am
36:22curious about
36:24Dumas because
36:25it affects me.
36:26It affects my
36:28company,
36:28and most
36:29importantly,
36:29it affects my
36:30family.
36:31How?
36:32In what way?
36:34Well,
36:34he already
36:35contacted my
36:36ex,
36:36Billy Abbott,
36:37who I had a
36:38major professional
36:39falling out with.
36:40and on top
36:42of that,
36:44Victor Newman
36:44is convinced
36:45that he's
36:45sniffing around
36:46our company.
36:48So,
36:48that's it.
