Victor says that it hurts him a great deal that Adam is trying to cut ties with his family.
Adam says that he’s different than the rest of the family.
Victor says that he hopes that Adam doesn’t have the same problem with Connor, what would he think if Connor shut him out of his life?

Victor says that he’s always put family first.
Adam says that he doesn’t see that, that he thinks Victor is a hypocrite.
Victor says that he’s tried to protect and educate Adam, to give him the tools to deal with what life throws at him.
