All language subtitles for Beyond the Gates s02e104.eng

To my fellow people from Maryland,

during these uncertain times,

perhaps it's the most important
vote of your life.

I'm more partial to this one.

Veto.
Mm-mm, veto.

[scoffs] Son, help me out here.

Both look the same.

It's giving copy and paste.

I will have you know I put a lot
of thought into those ties.

One has dots and one doesn't.

And the dots are,
mm, a little old man-looking.

Andre's lights are set up for picture time.

Let's move with purpose.

[sighs] Thanks again for doing this.

Of course. Anything for the cause.

Now let's make you look re-electable.

We'll get a few portraits and
then some candids for social.

After that, you two are free
to enjoy your afternoon.

Bet. Finally.

Welcome to public service.

It's glamorous until it isn't.
[chuckles]

All right, fam,
let's get you guys in position.

Uh, hold up.
I haven't picked out a tie yet.

Pop, it's not that deep.

And for the record, I still like
the one with the dots.

And for the record, you were wrong.

What she said.

There's my handsome husband.

And look at you,
pulling out the greatest hits.

That's my lucky bow tie, you know.

My father wore it when he was elected

student body president at Banneker.

Said it carried blessings
stitched right into the threads.

And now you've worn it for every
swearing in that you've had.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe I should lend it to Martin

for his primary tomorrow.

Give that boy a little breeze at his back.

Mm, well, he can certainly
use any breeze,

wind, or divine intervention
that he can get.

State politics is not for the faint of heart,

but you know that firsthand.

You were in a similar position
when you ran for Senate.

[chuckles] Lord, I worked my tail off,

knocking on doors
in snowstorms so bad,

I couldn't even feel my toes.

I remember.
I was right there by your side

with hand warmers and hot chocolate.

[both chuckle]

You were the reason I got through it.

Gave me the sense to call in the
big guns when things got tight.

Victor Newman's presence
certainly changed

the trajectory of the race, and hopefully

it will have a similar effect now.

I'll be touching down at the DMV shortly.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing

my friends at Fairmont Crest.

Well, you know the Duprees.

They throw a hell of a party.

I am looking forward
to a great night, yeah.

??

Ugh, my weather app says
heavy rain is expected later.

I hope it doesn't mess up
Martin's big night.

Or slow down the Genoa City arrivals.

An event like this loses its spark

when folks walk in drenched.

You know what really ruins a big night?

Photographers catching us

shoveling hors d'oeuvres
into our mouths.

Hmm. Which is why you taught me
to fuel up beforehand.

And to do it over the sink.

We can't walk into that ballroom

with crumbs on our designer dresses.

What's wrong?

You've been eating these
since you had teeth.

It's nothing.

Mm...

Or it's Jacob.

You said before,
you were worried about him.

Yeah, I still am.

What the hell was that in here?

What do you mean? I was doing my job.

More like you losing your cool.

You know you can't beat
a confession out of a perp.

I wasn't gonna put hands on him.

You could have fooled me.
That's the point, Pops.

I needed Ren to think I'd take it there.

Well, that's bull, Jacob.
You always say what you mean.

Even with perps.
Blowing smoke is not your style.

I'll use whatever works.

Look, every lead Ren
has given us has hit a dead end.

But the man knows
more than he's saying.

So, if I got to switch
things up, then so be it.

Jacob...
No.

I'm not letting the Impaler
slip through our fingers again.

Not on my watch.

Mm.

Looks good on you.

But it would be even better
around your wrist

and tied to a chair.

[laughs softly]

Maybe after the fundraiser?

We need to keep our priorities straight.

You seem to be in a mood.

Perhaps your mind is focused
on family ties instead.

You know

not much shocks me anymore.

But my sister walking back into my life

after all these years away

that has to be one of the biggest.

Jan!

[both laugh]

[both sigh]

How sweet of you to make the time.

Anything for you, Mona. You know that.

It's so wonderful of you
to organize this event.

Our sister church
could really use the help.

The money we raise here today
will go a long way

in funding the renovations
for their much-needed

new Sunday school center.
Mm.

I can't believe Eric let you
set up shop here, though.

Oh, please. He practically
rolled out the rain mats

and spit shined the linoleum for us.

[both laugh]

He was the one who suggested
hosting it here

instead of the church basement.
Mm.

I guess after hearing me
and others chatting

for weeks on end about this drive

put a bug in his ear.

Well, you are a lively bunch.
[laughs]

Especially right after a service.

How are you feeling?

And don't give me the PSA version.

Eating healthy, walking
every morning, taking my meds.

I'm feeling good. Really good.

Well, I hope it stays that way
after what I have to tell you.

Jan, what did you do?
LESLIE: I'm here

to save the children.

So, Jacob insisted
that I check in on Ashley.

Once I did that, I met him at Uptown,

and he was sitting at the table
we used to share

with Ashley and Derek.
Grieving.

He looked so lost, Mom.

He's carrying so much guilt.

He didn't even think
he deserved that award.

That's ridiculous.

If it wasn't for Jacob,

those blood thieves would still be at it.

Yeah, well, he doesn't see it that way.

He's just focused on the fact
that his best friend

was killed under his watch.

Now he's obsessed with retribution.

It's like his life's mission
to make everyone

associated with the Red Market pay.

I know that feeling all too well.

Your crusade against Dad and Hayley?

I remember looking at that invitation.

It was etched in glass,
but all I could see was red.

I wanted them to hurt
the way I was hurting.

And that kind of obsession
makes you reckless.

Hmm. You don't say.

But I pulled myself back
before it got too out of hand.

Thank God.

Well, I'm trying to pull Jacob back

before it even starts.

Damn it.

What now?

It's the Washington Record website.

Smitty said he'd post a story
asking for the public's help

in ID'ing the Impaler, but it's still not up.

Nor is there anything on their socials.

I'm sure he'll get to it, son.

He's not the kind to let things go.

Yeah, I don't have time to waste.

Everything about this case
keeps stalling.

Can something, anything
go my way for once?

Well, Lia's about to be transferred

from the hospital to holding soon.

For real?
Oh, yeah.

She's finally run out
of medical emergencies

to keep her parked at Garland, so maybe

a hard cot and some cold walls
will finally jog her memory.

Well, then I need to be there
when they move her.

Do you really think that's necessary?

Anything that'll lead
to the arrest of the Impaler

should be counted as necessary,
right, Chief?

Jacob, I'm concerned...
Look, can you just tell me

when the transport is?

It's in a few hours.
Good.

That gives me time
for another crack at Ren.

Wait, Jacob, listen, you...

When will you see Heather again?

Soon, I hope.

And the Impaler? When will you
reschedule that meeting?

I'm gonna leave that to him.

I can't appear to be desperate.

He moved his operations out of the DMV,

and that's all I really needed.

I didn't even know
what the Red Market was

until I looked it up. It's

fascinating and repulsive
at the same time.

You could be describing me.

You are nothing like
those bloodthirsty monsters.

I'm not so sure about that.

You know, my father didn't care
who he hurt or ruined,

and I always thought I was better.

But broken people come
into my casino all the time,

and I take advantage of them.

Seems like I'm just

living out the family tradition.

The lighting basically
did the work for me.

It even made that tie look half decent.

Oh... Hey.
[chuckles]

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Andre, send me the selects.

I think we have what we need.
Mm-hmm.

You two are dismissed.

Say less.
Stay out of trouble.

Yeah.

SAMANTHA: Bye.

[exhales]

All right, well, you have a little time

before your guests arrive.

Relax, okay?

Easier said than done.

I keep telling myself Victor
Newman's presence will help,

but I can't shake the feeling

that this could backfire on us.

Victor appearing tonight,
day before the primary,

sends a message to the voters

that Martin is the one with momentum.

That and a media spotlight

could be just the final push he needs.

Well, that very spotlight
could catch shadows

we've been outrunning for years.

Martin's opponent
is scrambling for an edge.

They're digging through everything,

looking for a last-minute gotcha.

Paraphrasing my dear wife,

it's no use worrying about hypotheticals.

Let 'em dig.

No one who knows anything
is saying a word.

Except maybe for Joey Armstrong.

That man is a walking plot twist.

Oh, he's far too mercenary
to blow up his own life.

Or ours.

Yeah. And thank the good Lord

he's not attending tonight's fundraiser.

On that we can agree.

And you're right.

You certainly wouldn't put Martin

or anyone in this family

in a position we can't come back from.

Well, look at the time.

Victor's gonna be arriving soon.

I'd better get going.
Oh, yeah.

And I need to get
to the club before Shonda

sends out a missing persons report.

Mm.

[line rings]

Titus.

Please pull the car around.

Thank you.

You know I can see you staring, right?

I know.

And I'm not stopping.

Look at us. Get over here.

Look at us. I mean,
it's just like old times, right?

We are practically the Holy Trinity.

Now you trying to kill me.

Okay. That sounds like a pattern.

Laura.

Baseless accusations, all right?

Now, Mona, you need to lighten up.

Okay, no one is trying
to commit a murder

in Orphey Gene's.

[chuckles]: All right?

But a slaying?

Ow.

Bam, boom, bam, ow.

You like my fit?

You look great.
Ah!

Finally, a friendly face
and a warm welcome.

Mmm.
[chuckles]

Come on, now. Open it.
You know you nosy.

You want to see what's in there. Let's go.

I'm sure Leslie means well,

but maybe she just needs to be educated

about what the actual cause is.

Mm. [Chuckles]

Take this and read it across the room.

Matter of fact, read it across town.

Is crow on your list
of healthy things to eat?

Because you are gonna need
a heaping dose of it.

She's got some nerve.

[sighs]: She does.

But...

Should we?
We'd only embolden her.

[sighs]
[gasps, laughs]

Mona, you are not gonna believe
what Leslie's done now.

Hey, Miss Mona. Miss Jan.
Oh, hey.

Is, uh, June here?
Oh, you just missed her.

She took an early shift
to help out a friend.

Your Grandma Nicole
was here earlier, too,

but she had to run off to go get glammed

for Martin's night out.

I'm surprised you kids
had time to stop by.

We got a pass for finals.

Has it been busy?

Oh, yes.

More folks than we expected stopped by.

Well, are you surprised?

You are always thinking of others.

Of course we want to be here
for what's important to you.

Today is not about me.

And contrary to what Leslie thinks,

the children are quite all right.
[phone chimes]

My bad. I'm behind
on my macroeconomics reading.

Oh.
Well, then go, sit.

Feed your minds and your stomachs.

That's the plan.
[laughter]

MONA: Bye, y'all.

Jessica's not helping you study?

She's with her parents, trying to make up

for going ghost during cotillion.

I still can't believe my own brother

missed my Platinum Deb crowning.

[sighs] I apologized, like, eight times.

Remind me again what was so important

that you had to sneak off?

Don't bother lying.
I know you were having sex.

Did Pop say something?

Pop knows?

No. It was Jessica.

Plus, the real giveaway
was that sus smile on your face

when you finally got home.

Sorry. Now I have questions.

[sighs] Ask Great-Gran,

Grandma Nicole,
any of the other aunties.

Literally anybody but me.

Not about sex, dummy.

I meant about your relationship.

Isn't it gonna be tougher
on the both of you

when Jessica leaves for UCLA?

Now that we've taken our
relationship to the next level,

I'm gonna convince her
to go to Banneker instead.

Hmm.

Is Ashley doing better?

Andre and I stopped by the other
day, and she was in pieces.

Did I hear that correctly?

You and Andre visited Ashley?

Yes. Andre was worried about her,

and he asked me to tag along.

And it wasn't awkward?

You know, considering...
It was my suggestion.

Yours?

Naomi, please.

Andre's not out here catching feelings.

He's concerned about his friend.

And that's who he is.

He's caring and sensitive
and empathetic.

I'm trying to be more like him.

Not with everybody... let's not get crazy,

but the people who deserve it.
[laughs]

Wow, Mom, I'm... I'm really proud of you.

And I'm sure that visit meant a lot to her.

What's wrong?
[sighs]

I'm just wondering where Jacob is.

He should have been here a while ago.

Ren cracked.

Say what?
Yep.

I finally got to him.

He gave me a name for the Impaler.

Now, of course, I'm not
taking his word as gospel,

but if everything pans out,
this can be the break we need.

[phone buzzing]

JACOB: Hey, babe. What's up?

Hey, are you on your way to Mom's?

We're headed to the fundraiser soon.

Damn, I-I got so locked
into the case, I forgot.

Forgot?

Jacob, the Newmans,
Abbotts and Winters

are all coming to stump in Martin,

not to mention the local heavy hitters

who have paid a lot of money to be there.

H-How do you forget that?

I know. I know, I'm sorry,
but I can't make it.

Ren just gave me a hot tip
and they're moving Lia,

so I have to be there to escort her.

I want to support you,

I do, but i-it feels like

you've practically been
living at that station.

Look, if tonight

goes the way I think it will,

then I can finally close
the book on this Red Market

and then we can get back

to normal.

Okay.

I'll give your regards to Martin.

Thanks, babe.

Uh, just... be safe.

When we initially planned this,

I thought it was gonna be a fun,
stress-free evening

before my victory lap.

Now it feels like the damn Super Bowl.

Well, at least you're keeping
the race interesting.

Smitty, what if I lose?

Martin...
No, seriously.

What if I'm the first Dupree
to flame out of politics?

The one who shamed the family
after everything they sacrificed

to get me here?

Those are just your nerves, babe.

You're not shaming anybody.

Are you sure?

Because my poll numbers
have gone stagnant.

Granddad has dragged
Victor Newman across state lines

like some Hail Mary play.

Does it make me look desperate?

It makes you look smart.

It shows that you care,

that you're determined to serve,
and that you'll use every tool

at your disposal to do so.

That's true.

And Victor being here

gives me a spotlight
I otherwise wouldn't have

before the primary.

You're not leaving this all to him.

You are going to land your speech.

You are gonna show those voters
your big, beautiful heart,

and then the primary is gonna
tip right back in your favor.

That simple, huh?

You are rising to this moment, Martin,

which you do every time.

Hey.

Listen to me.

This election doesn't define you.

The outcome of this...
it's not gonna erase

the man that you are.

If... and this is a big if,

but if this doesn't go
the way that you want,

you still have your family,

you still have your purpose,

and you still have...

You.

Damn straight.
[chuckles]

Thank you.

Vernon, my man.

Hello, old friend.
How nice to see you, man.

Great to see you.

You look great. You haven't changed at all.
Thank you. [Chuckles]

You looking pretty good yourself.
Thank you.

I really appreciate you taking the time

out of your schedule to be here.

This holds a lot of weight
for our family and for me.

Well, you and I are old friends,

and I'll do anything
to lend a hand, all right?

So now let's win this primary
for your grandson.

That's why I'm here. All right?
That's right.

You haven't changed at all, Vernon.

Thank you.
Yeah.

Well, maybe a little older.
Well, you know.

[Vernon chuckles]

Well, we have a bit of time,
and I wanted a private moment

for a drink with my old friend.

I love that, Vernon, I really do.

Made sure that we had your favorite.

You know

it is my favorite.
[Vernon chuckles]

Do you remember the first time
we drank this together?

I remember.

It was in Genoa City.
Yeah.

You and I were debating
the pros and cons

of a particular legislation.

Oh, I remember that well.

And I remember taking you and Anita

to the Colonnade Room, and...

Anita and Nikki were discussing music.

And you and I had
a spirited conversation.

I remember... over this tequila.

VERNON: Mm.
[glasses clink]

Yeah, "spirited" is a word for it.

What I respect about you, Vernon,

is that you never played favorites.

You never did.

I liked your politics.

Very fair, very reasonable,

very good for business.

And you never played favorites.

You never did.

I respect you for that.

And I understand
that your grandson Martin

knows that power's only as good
as how you use it.

I've tried to build a legacy
I can be proud of.

Well, look at this.

You certainly have, my man. Okay?

That makes two of us.

Thank you. Cheers.
Cheers.

Vernon just texted.

The eagle has landed.
They'll be here in a bit.

What's the latest press count?
SHONDA: Uh...

That many?
For what it's worth,

a reporter friend just texted.

As long as your speech
hits the right tone,

she's prepared to paint you
in the most flattering light.

The rest of the Genoa City guests

are touching down now.

This is exactly what
I was talking about earlier.

Jacob is getting consumed
more and more every day.

Or maybe this really is the break

that he's been waiting for.

And when he closes this case
and tells you all about

how proud he is of his work,

you'll realize that all
of this worrying was for naught.

I'd love that more than anything.

I know his job is important.

But I am tired.

I'm tired of showing up
to every family event solo

and smiling through it
while people ask me where he is.

I thought those days were over

when his undercover assignment ended.

So don't go solo.

What are you talking about?

Bring Ashley as your plus-one.

She's practically family, and Lord knows,

she could use a night out.

Mm, a political fundraiser
full of strangers?

I-I don't think she'd be up for that.

Sometimes you need to pull
people back into the world

before they disappear into themselves.

It'll take her mind off things.

And yours, too.

Caring, sensitive, empathetic?

What have you done with my mother?

Don't get used to it.

[both laugh]

Okay, I-I'll stop by Ashley's.

This seems like a face-to-face
thing rather than text.

Sounds good. Love you.

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

Love you.

Excuse me. Goodbye, Naomi.

Bye, Andre.

Oh. Hello, my wife.

Hello, husband.

How was the photo shoot
with the Richardson-Smiths?

I hope Samantha was using
some of those poses.

Chelsea's been working on with her.

Yeah, yeah, the whole family
showed out, for sure.

Mm.
Ah, I'll show you.

Ooh.
Let's see.

Oh...
Oh!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Stop. Don't open that.

The jury's still out on your sister since

she hasn't been very forthcoming
about her enterprise in London.

She didn't share
much information with me.

But I know you're sure as hell
nothing like your father.

You're an expert on my family now?

From what you've shared with me,
I like to think so.

You don't force people to gamble.

You don't lean on intimidation
to bend others to your will.

Much.

Only when necessary.

My point is, that was your father's M.O.,

and whether your sister
inherited it remains to be seen.

But you broke the cycle, Joey.

Funding that clinic proves

how much you care
about this community.

[chuckles]

You make it sound like I'm an angel

and my sister's the devil.

It's not that simple.

Why not?

Heather wasn't

evil or cruel when she was growing up.

Did she want what she wanted?

Yes, but she was so smart, sharp.

I thought she'd end up
running a corporation.

[phone chirps]
You have no idea

who got in her ear or what shaped her.

Do you mind
if we table this for a moment?

We have company.

Who?

Detective.

Shouldn't you be at Martin's fundraiser?

Something came up instead.

Must be important.

It is.

I need to talk to Joey alone.

Anything you need to say to me,
you can say in front of Vanessa.

As you wish.

I just got a lead on the Impaler.

Jacob, what exactly is this?
As I said,

I'm here to speak to Joey.
Well, you're talking to me.

Why storm in here like
you're about to make an arrest?

This is borderline harassment.

Stand down, soldier.

I'd like to hear
what the detective has to say.

I've been grilling
an associate of the Impaler's,

and he finally gave me a name.

Davit Azarian.

Well, it sounds like
congratulations are in order.

Vanessa gave me your message
that you weren't going to stop

until you found the top guy.

It sounds like you have.

It's just a lead.

I'm still doing my due diligence.

I visited Azarian's last known address,

an industrial strip by the
river, but his place was empty.

Hmm. Well, probably cut and run
after that warehouse nightmare.

I will say this.

Azarian is no stranger to trafficking.

If anyone in this area could run
a ring like that, it's him.

Why weren't you this forthcoming

with my father when he came to you?

Professional courtesy.

We live by a code.

What changed?

Your friend's death.

An innocent man

who died working for the clinic
that I support.

That was too far.

Well, if you find out anything,

I'll appreciate it if you pass it along to me.

This was a freebie, Detective

out of respect for Derek.

Further information will cost.

Name your price.

I'll pay anything to see that
bastard pay for what he did.

Don't do this, bro.

Don't hype yourself up
thinking that Jessica's going

to flip her whole life plan for you.

She doesn't even like UCLA.

She applied 'cause
it's some family legacy thing.

Same thing with the cotillion.

She hated every second of it.

If I can convince her that she's going

to be miserable out west, she'll stay.

Don't be so sure.

Jessica's already talked to me

about the whole long-distance thing.

And?

I think that she's ready

to explore her options in Cali.

Nah. You're just saying that
to mess with me.

That's honestly the vibe that I got, Tyrell.

Then you're just a hater

because you want me to end up
alone and pathetic like you.

Victor Newman. [Chuckles]

Dashing as always.

Anita, I have a confession to make.

One of the reasons it was easy

to accept this invitation is because...

I was looking forward
to spend an evening

in your charming company.

You always know how to make
a woman feel special, Victor.

I'm sorry Nikki couldn't join.
Yeah, she was sad, too.

Next time.

I gave Victor an update
on your medical issues.

I'm very glad to hear that
you recently finished chemo?

I still have a couple
of challenging rounds left.

Knowing you, you will knock
that dreaded disease out cold

in no time.

You have the heart of a champion.

Thank you, Victor.

Oh. Victor, this is Shonda,

Martin's campaign manager
and the woman running this show.

Mr. Newman, it's an honor.

Hello, Shonda. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Whenever you're ready,

I can walk you through the itinerary.

You bet. Let's go. Thank you.
This way.

What happened to my loving,
supportive brother?

This cruel gremlin
mean-mugging me isn't my fave.

My bad, sis.

I'm just frustrated with Jessica.

Didn't mean to take it out on you.

I'm not saying that she doesn't
care, because clearly she does.

But if she's having doubts,

isn't it better to know now
than to get heartbroken later?

[soul music playing]

You can't put it off any longer.

All right, Leslie, let's get this over with.

Okay.

Is this you trying to bribe your way back

into my good graces
with a donation to my church?

Because if so,
my friendship is not for sale.

What? Girl, no.

Now you really trying to play me

'cause I know you didn't do this

without some sort of ulterior motive.

You're right.

I do have a reason
for my very good deed.

Hmm.

Jan accidentally let it slip
that you had the Sugar.

Wait, so, no, no, it made me realize

some things that...

You know, I have missed out on
a whole lot of your life lately.

So I just want to be there for my friend.

[clears throat]

My former friend, all right?

Because clearly we're not speaking.

So I figured a donation
was the next best thing.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you.

Assuming this clears

it will cover the renovations
for the church.

But why the Fenmore's bag, though?

I was there earlier,
and I had the bag on hand.

I mean, really, Mona, come on.

I am not just gonna show up flaunting

a check the size of my head
for all to see.

That is just tacky.

And you know, it'd make
everybody else feel less-than.

What?

[sighs]

That's progress.

[phone buzzes]

Hello.

Oh. Thank you.

[chuckles] Yes. Okay. Bye.

Ooh.

Manna from heaven! Oh.

Mona, girl, you are my guiding light.

Do you know when
you put good out in the world,

the good Lord just blesses you
right back. Yeah!

Glory.
What are you squawking about now?

Okay, that code violation

that I was battling has been resolved,

and now they're going
to start reconstruction

on my shouse next week.
Mm.

[Andre sighs]

All right, start talking,
because I need to know

what mystery woman
is being blessed by jewelry.

There ain't no mystery woman
besides you.

I was saving this for Tokyo,

but since I don't want you
to spiral, go on.

Open it.

What is it?
It's called Akai Ito,

the red thread of fate.

Japanese legend says

that there's an invisible string that ties

on the pinkies of two people
who are meant for each other.

And this made you think of us?

Yeah. This thread can, um...

It can tangle, it can stretch.

It could be put through hell
and back, but it never breaks.

And more than anything

the two ends always end up together.

Well, if the thread is invisible,

why make a whole ring out of it?

Because my wife is tactile.

Copy for "I like pretty things"?

Yeah.
You're right.

I love it.

Yeah?
Put it on.

May I?
[laughs]

And I love you.

You went to Joey?

I should have known he'd call
you with the play-by-play.

That's irrelevant.
No, it's not, Pops.

When you go to Joey,
you're working your contacts.

But when I do, I'm being reckless?

Explain that math.
Don't be naive.

Joey is not a resource.
He's a complication.

And I'll be damned if I let him
get his hooks in you.

I'll do whatever it takes
to bring the Impaler down.

And that includes using Joey.

Why do I get the sense that

you're not being
completely up-front with me

about the Impaler or...?

Um, are you being

completely straight with me
about Heather?

All right, I may have omitted some details

about my dealings with the Impaler.

That's a polite way
of saying that you lied.

No, I just didn't give you a full picture.

So give it to me now.

He made an offer.

He wants to go into business together.

I see.

And what did you say?

That I'm already more than content.

That I don't need or want
that world bleeding into mine,

so to speak.

But knowing how ruthless
this bloodsucker is,

aren't you worried
he'll come after you anyway?

He can try.

He won't win.

Martin. Martin, come.

Like you to meet the legend himself.

Victor Newman,
I'd like to present my grandson.

Congressman Martin Richardson.

Hello, Martin.

Heard a lot about you.

Watched your career from afar.

I must say I'm very impressed

with what you have accomplished
in the first term.

Ah. Inspiring words, Mr. Newman.

Call me Victor.
Oh, Victor,

I can't thank you enough
for your generosity

with your time and agreeing

to be our keynote speaker this evening.

Well, you know, I'll do anything
for your grandfather.

He and I are good friends,
go back a long time.

I'll do anything for him.

And I'll do my damnedest to talk
about your accomplishments.

Ah. Oh, meet my better half
Bradley Smith.

Hello, Bradley.

It's an honor, sir.
Nice meeting you.

SHONDA: Doors will be opening soon.

We're officially in countdown mode.

Oh, boy. Well, if you'll excuse me,

I have... a phone call to make.

[chuckling]: Okay.
Thank you, Anita.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I can't thank you both enough.

Getting Victor Newman
is the ultimate get.

Oh, hey, I just made the call.

You did the heavy lifting
with a successful campaign.

Well, let's not pretend

that having Victor Newman

and the other guests are not going

to help us get across the finish line.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, I hope that's not a bad omen.

[laughs]
Not a chance.

This is your time to shine, babe.

VERNON: What do you say

we go and make this night
one for the history books?
