00:00:00I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father.
00:00:13What's she doing here?
00:00:15What do you think?
00:00:16No need to hide anymore.
00:00:18I'm leaving you for Catherine.
00:00:21Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:24I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:26Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:29She's also way better in bed.
00:00:31What's that?
00:00:38She's pregnant?
00:00:39What?
00:00:40She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:41No one's faking it.
00:00:42You're so desperate.
00:00:43Give it back!
00:00:44Stop!
00:00:45Give it back!
00:00:46Give it back!
00:00:48Stop!
00:00:49Give it back!
00:00:54Stop, Nishikawa.
00:00:57Stop!
00:00:59Please!
00:01:01Please!
00:01:02Please!
00:01:04Please!
00:01:06Let me go!
00:01:11Where am I?
00:01:16What happened?
00:01:19The baby. Is the baby okay?
00:01:23I'm so sorry.
00:01:27We've lost the baby.
00:01:31I'm so sorry.
00:01:35We're right here sweetheart.
00:01:40We're right here.
00:01:49I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:54I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:56Mom, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:58This isn't about revenge. This is about holding them accountable.
00:02:02Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:04I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:06Okay, but there is a condition.
00:02:14I have an important announcement.
00:02:16My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:21Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:23I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:26I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:29Trust me, I'm more than ready.
00:02:35Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:41Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:47There is a condition.
00:02:48You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:53Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:55It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:59It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:03:02I'll do it.
00:03:06I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:11And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:24Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:28That's what I heard.
00:03:30I think it'll be good for the company. I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:54Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:55Not interested. Get lost.
00:04:01Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:06Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:10This marriage is what my parents want. Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:13Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:17Perks or not, she'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:21Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:23Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:31Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:37I do.
00:04:40And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:45I do.
00:04:47Um, the rings?
00:04:50Um, the rings?
00:05:00You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:14Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:16This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world. Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:22Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:40My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:44She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:46Done.
00:05:47Joshua has always been so distant with people. Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:17You should see all the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:20Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:25But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child. We need an heir after all.
00:06:33Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:36I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hortons.
00:06:43Quite the contrary. Actually, Joshua's very passionate. Especially in the bedroom. No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:59For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:06But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:10I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:20Get the campaign ready. I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:28Noah, hey. I need a favor.
00:07:32You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua. Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:40What agency are we using?
00:07:42We're still deciding. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:46Perfect. I have a plan.
00:07:52I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget. It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:57That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber. What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:03I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane. I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:14You have a deal. The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:20There's a little more. I need you to spread the word.
00:08:23Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation, and our allies.
00:08:30You got it. No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:36Wonderful. Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:45I have evidence of Alex's scheme against Joshua Lane.
00:08:50I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you. But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:58I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position. I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:04How do you know about this?
00:09:06Alex struck me as opportunistic. A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion, and Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:15You're more perceptive than I thought. Why are you helping me?
00:09:22Our family's alliance is crucial. Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation. It's all business.
00:09:31Business, right. Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:39How did you know about that?
00:09:42Didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks. I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is. I mean, he cheated on you. So what?
00:09:54She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:59How dare you. You had no right to dig into my past like that. I can take care of myself.
00:10:07What just happened?
00:10:12To your new position as Senior VP. And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:19Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:26Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia. Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:30She's a joke. A stepping stone at best.
00:10:34With you by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:46Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition. Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:53Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:55No, I don't think so.
00:10:56Katherine is leading the pushback.
00:10:58Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:00No, as per your request.
00:11:02Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:08Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:10There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup. These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital. Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:34I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:37Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:40Mia helped me. But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:46Do you care for her?
00:11:49You don't dislike her?
00:11:51Now, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her. Not you.
00:11:56She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants. Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves. Especially not you.
00:12:08You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her. Your choice.
00:12:19Alright, look. If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Katherine.
00:12:37Mia.
00:12:51How are you feeling?
00:12:54It's none of your business. Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:59I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive. I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:13:05You didn't know?
00:13:07That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:13:12I may have overreacted.
00:13:14You were hurting. That's understandable.
00:13:17So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are.
00:13:20Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:13:23Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies. I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:32Bar them all.
00:13:33No. No. It's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:40Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:13:46It's not funny.
00:13:50It's late. I'm going to bed.
00:13:55Okay. Goodnight.
00:14:04Talk like this.
00:14:18Go ahead with the plan. Shorten the stock of Catherine's company. I want to see them bleed.
00:14:33Mia, you need to see this. The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically. They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:40Just a week? How is this possible?
00:14:43Seems like a coordinated attack. Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:49Joshua.
00:14:55Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:57Yes, I did.
00:14:59Why?
00:15:00Strictly for business.
00:15:02To protect our family's alliances. Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:05Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:07I just did what's necessary. Just like you would do.
00:15:09Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:19Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything.
00:15:23I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:26As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:30Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:15:34Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:37Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:40You betrayed and hurt my wife. Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:44I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:15:46Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over. I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:53Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you. This hospital is all that I have left. Please.
00:16:00No. That day that I fell, you stood there and watched. You made your decision then.
00:16:08Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize. To make things right.
00:16:22Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything. I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:34I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:39Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:42I know. I just, I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:16:53You're really like they say. Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:17:13You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:19I do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:24Get your hands off me.
00:17:30Catherine manipulated me, but now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:34We could start over. With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:39We could be parents again. Give us a chance.
00:17:42You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now. You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:51You're right. I'm dirty. But think about all the good memories we have. Think about more to come.
00:17:56Just let go. Bradley.
00:17:58Mia, I'm serious. Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:01I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:04It's fine, Joshua. Thank you for stepping in. Thank you for... everything.
00:18:14Yeah, I follow through with all my business plans.
00:18:17Right. Yeah. The business plan.
00:18:21You know, you and I have been through a lot.
00:18:23I follow through with all my business plans.
00:18:26Right. Yeah. The business plan.
00:18:29You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:33Don't look into it too much. Let's go.
00:18:36Actually, um, you know what?
00:18:39Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings.
00:18:47I understand.
00:18:53They've destroyed everything.
00:18:55We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:00What if we take Mia?
00:19:03A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:07Yes. Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:11Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:14But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:16I know that she always goes to this one spot, alone.
00:19:19From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:23Let's go.
00:19:53Hey!
00:19:55Hey!
00:20:21Hey!
00:20:25Hey!
00:20:27Help!
00:20:36Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:40You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:45Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:20:55That's what we're talking about.
00:21:00Look at you.
00:21:02Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:05Of course, I could have saved you.
00:21:08But why would I?
00:21:10You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:18Y'all need to calm down.
00:21:19I can't.
00:21:24Joshua Lane?
00:21:26Listen.
00:21:27We have Mia Gerber.
00:21:29You want her back?
00:21:30Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:32I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:34But listen to me clearly.
00:21:36I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never crossed me.
00:21:38Listen to me.
00:21:46Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:48it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:51These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:21:55This one.
00:22:06Mia.
00:22:09Joshua.
00:22:10I've got you.
00:22:11Come on.
00:22:14Let's get you out of here.
00:22:38No.
00:22:54Joshua, stop.
00:22:56It's not worth it.
00:23:08I know that's not an excuse
00:23:12to forget about you
00:23:15but I guess
00:23:17that's just life someday.
00:23:29Made you some soup.
00:23:33It's...
00:23:35very unique.
00:23:37What is this?
00:23:39My mom's recipe.
00:23:41Before she passed away she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:44Thought it might
00:23:45comfort you.
00:23:46Must have made it wrong.
00:23:47It's wonderful.
00:23:49I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:52It's nothing.
00:23:54I just did what I had to do.
00:23:58Joshua.
00:24:00Joshua.
00:24:02Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:06Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:08A guest has arrived.
00:24:09Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:11Susie's back?
00:24:19Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:22So much.
00:24:28Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:31When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:34Four years ago.
00:24:35Before I went abroad.
00:24:37It's been too long.
00:24:38Welcome back, Sus.
00:24:39I came back just for you.
00:24:42Oh, there's so much...
00:24:46Susie, this is
00:24:48my wife, Mia.
00:24:50Mia, this is Susie
00:24:51an old friend of mine.
00:24:53So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:56No, Susie.
00:24:58That's enough.
00:24:59Joshua and I have a special bond.
00:25:02You know?
00:25:03We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:07He means a lot to me.
00:25:08I want him to be happy.
00:25:10I think we all would.
00:25:12Do you?
00:25:13Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:16He confides in me.
00:25:18I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:20He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:24Right.
00:25:25Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:27So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:34Susie,
00:25:36why would you say those things?
00:25:38I told you I have doubts before the wedding,
00:25:40not since then.
00:25:41Joshua,
00:25:42you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:44I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:46I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:49I'm sorry.
00:25:51I just...
00:25:53I was trying to help,
00:25:54since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:25:59I don't mind it, though.
00:26:01Do you like her?
00:26:03She's fine.
00:26:06This means I still have a chance.
00:26:09Joshua,
00:26:11if I had stayed by your side,
00:26:13you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:18I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:21Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:24Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:27Of course.
00:26:28I'll always be there for you.
00:26:36How's it going?
00:26:39It's this marriage.
00:26:41It's Joshua. He's like a shadow.
00:26:42He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:48You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:52Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:57Thank you, Noah.
00:27:00How could I live without you?
00:27:05I can't live without you.
00:27:19How could I live without you?
00:27:23I'd do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:37Joshua!
00:27:42Joshua!
00:27:44Joshua!
00:27:48We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:53Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:55Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:56I don't even know what that means.
00:27:58There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:00You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:03What?
00:28:04Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:19What's he doing here?
00:28:23Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:35And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:40And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:43Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:45What are you two doing?
00:28:48What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so irrational?
00:28:51This is ridiculous! You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:54I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:28:57I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two. It wasn't my intention.
00:29:01It's fine. Why are you here?
00:29:03I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:06I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:10I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:16Is that Dwayne?
00:29:18And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:24This plan is our game changer.
00:29:28What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest rival.
00:29:31They're going in a completely different direction. We're way ahead of them.
00:29:35And how do you know that?
00:29:38The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:40He tried to get some information from me but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:44Like I'd betray my own company. He'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:48Right. Of course, Dwayne. Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:59See? He's fine.
00:30:01I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:30:03I can't put my finger on it but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:08I will.
00:30:12Mia suspected but I made her trust me now.
00:30:16Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:20Excellent. Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:25Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:28I will be the number one.
00:30:30Mia Gerber will be out of the company and I'll be the number one.
00:30:41How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:43This was our strategy. Where's Dwayne?
00:30:46He's outside.
00:30:59Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:04The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:10I don't know. We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:14They must have developed this independently.
00:31:17Mia, you're just too young. You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:21This stuff happens.
00:31:23I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:27And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:31You can leave.
00:31:46Why do you look so sullen all the time? It doesn't look good on you.
00:31:51Wow. Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:58Damn it. Why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:03Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:06What?
00:32:13We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:17It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:23Acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:29Now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:32Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:38I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:45That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:48My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:52The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:58This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:06As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:12I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been contributing to the company.
00:33:15I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:21I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:29What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:32These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare. He leaked our strategy.
00:33:40You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:42I've been with you since you founded the company. All these years, I've never been a CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:48I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:33:52Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:57We built this company on integrity and trust, values you clearly lack.
00:34:04Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:07Wait, Dean.
00:34:09Dean!
00:34:20Mia, we're so proud of you. You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:26You truly are a Gerber.
00:34:31Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:33Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:35You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:40It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:43Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tip.
00:34:51This is your schedule for the week.
00:34:53And what's this?
00:34:55Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:57Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:06Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:35:10I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:18Can I see the photos?
00:35:26I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:30Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:33Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:37Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:41He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:44We then delivered the photos.
00:35:46Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:50Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:52No.
00:35:53Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:57Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:59No need to.
00:36:03Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:07Joshua's a... he's a complicated man.
00:36:11He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:14He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia. This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:19He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:21Well, Joshua has his ways. He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:27I just ask that you... don't hurt him.
00:36:32I won't.
00:36:34You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:43Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:46It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:49What about it?
00:36:51I sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:53Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:55It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:57Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:01Did you do it because...
00:37:03No, no. It's nothing like that.
00:37:05I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:09It would look bad for me.
00:37:11So it's all about appearances?
00:37:13Yes, Mia. It's all it ever is.
00:37:15We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:17Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:18Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:23I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:30I want a divorce.
00:37:34I want a divorce.
00:37:39You sure about this?
00:37:42I deserve something real in my life, Joshua. Not this.
00:37:48Facade.
00:37:50I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:54I want genuine happiness.
00:37:56I understand.
00:37:58If that's what you want.
00:38:03Joshua, please.
00:38:07Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:34You know what?
00:38:35Let's go.
00:38:48Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:51Mia.
00:38:53Mia?
00:38:55Mia, don't leave. Don't leave.
00:38:57You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:00No.
00:39:02I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:05Okay.
00:39:07Let's go.
00:39:17Mia.
00:39:19Mia.
00:39:27Morning, Josh.
00:39:29Here, drink this. You have had quite a night.
00:39:33Susie.
00:39:35Where am I?
00:39:37This is my apartment.
00:39:39Nothing bad happened.
00:39:41I also drove your car back here.
00:39:43How did I get here?
00:39:45You were really drunk.
00:39:47I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:50Josh, what happened?
00:39:52It's over between me and Mia.
00:39:54We're getting a divorce.
00:40:01Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:03You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:34No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:37Why?
00:40:39I have always loved you.
00:40:42Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:45Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:50It can't be anything more.
00:40:52I'm sorry.
00:40:55Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
00:40:58Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:02I need to go tell her.
00:41:04Now.
00:41:28Your call is being forwarded to an automated voice mail.
00:41:49Noah, hey.
00:41:51I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:53Are you okay?
00:41:55I'm fine.
00:41:57It's just...
00:41:59It's for the best.
00:42:01There's something I need to tell you.
00:42:03Sorry.
00:42:05It's the hospital.
00:42:07Hello?
00:42:08What?
00:42:09What happened?
00:42:10Is he okay?
00:42:12Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:42:14What's wrong?
00:42:15It's Joshua.
00:42:16He's been in an accident.
00:42:24Excuse me, excuse me.
00:42:25I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:34Joshua.
00:42:37Miss Gerber?
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:39We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:44It's not my fault.
00:42:48It was nobody's fault.
00:42:49It was an accident.
00:42:51But right now, he needs you.
00:42:52Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:42:57I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:02You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:05That meant the world to me.
00:43:08Whenever you get better,
00:43:11I'm gonna make you that soup.
00:43:14Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:17It was those little moments with you.
00:43:18You know, whenever we would wake up
00:43:20and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:24sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:36Please come back to me.
00:43:41This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:44You drove him away.
00:43:45This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:47You drove him to this.
00:43:50You hurt him.
00:43:51And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:01Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:03Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:08Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:10So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:13I won't stand for it.
00:44:14What's the plan?
00:44:16I'm meeting with Mr. Lang.
00:44:18He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:20His voice can sway their mind.
00:44:24Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lang.
00:44:27I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:30After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:33You're too kind.
00:44:35I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:37Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:40So, tell me.
00:44:42Why do you want to see me?
00:44:44About Alex being the new CEO.
00:44:46You're a wise man, Mr. Lang.
00:44:49Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:53We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:56I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:58Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:00It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:03Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:45:07Alex is the only choice.
00:45:09What if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:14I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:19I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:25Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:31If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:34And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:38Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:40I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:43They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:46I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:45:50What if he doesn't?
00:45:52He will.
00:45:54I admire your tenacity. I'll do what I can.
00:45:58Thank you, Mr. Lang.
00:46:11I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:14You did the same for me.
00:46:19I won't let you down.
00:46:26Given Joshua's current condition,
00:46:29I'm sure he'll be able to handle this.
00:46:31I'm sure he'll be able to handle this.
00:46:33I'm sure he'll be able to handle this.
00:46:35I'm sure he'll be able to handle this.
00:46:37Given Joshua's current condition,
00:46:40I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:45Mia Gerber?
00:46:47She's from a different company.
00:46:49How is she even qualified?
00:46:51Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:53She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:56Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership
00:46:59will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:02This is absurd.
00:47:03Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:47:07While I appreciate your concerns,
00:47:10I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:13And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:16questionable business dealings,
00:47:19I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:23I agree with Mr. Lang.
00:47:25Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:29But Dad!
00:47:31Stop, Alex.
00:47:33Dad!
00:47:38Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:43Let's go.
00:47:45You think you can take over with no consequences, Mia?
00:47:48I'm gonna make her pay.
00:47:52We won't be touching her.
00:47:54Who the fuck are you?
00:48:00Damn it! She's gone!
00:48:01Take care of her!
00:48:10See the security camera?
00:48:12I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:14And if you ever try and hurt me again,
00:48:16I'll call the police.
00:48:18You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:20Ever!
00:48:22God damn it!
00:48:32Thanks.
00:48:40Noah, what happened?
00:48:42Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:44You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:48:50Are you okay?
00:48:54Thanks, but the reason I came over was because I wanted to
00:48:58finish our conversation from before.
00:48:59Mrs. Lane!
00:49:01It's Mr. Lane, he's waking up from the coma!
00:49:05I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:07I just want to tell you something important.
00:49:09No, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:15Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:17Always fucking Joshua.
00:49:22When you wake up,
00:49:24we can be together.
00:49:27Mia doesn't deserve this.
00:49:29I love you.
00:49:31But you and I,
00:49:34we're meant to be.
00:49:39Mia.
00:49:41Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:44Mia.
00:49:47Excuse me, miss.
00:49:50Mr. Lane?
00:49:53Mr. Lane?
00:49:55Mia.
00:49:57Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:59Yes, I can hear you immediately.
00:50:01Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:50:03Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:05Mia.
00:50:07Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:50:13Joshua.
00:50:15I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:17No, Mia.
00:50:19Don't blame yourself.
00:50:21It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:23You got hurt because of me.
00:50:25Mia, listen to me.
00:50:29I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you.
00:50:32For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:36I was afraid to admit it.
00:50:38Even to myself.
00:50:40I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:42I love you, Mia.
00:50:45I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:49You should have said them sooner.
00:50:53I love you too, Joshua.
00:50:59I love you too.
00:51:22Noah Bellini, drinking alone?
00:51:25What do you want, Duane?
00:51:27Just to talk.
00:51:30Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:37Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:51:41I heard you managed as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:44I handled things.
00:51:46I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:50Who's the partner?
00:51:52Kevin Katz.
00:51:55He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:58Katz?
00:52:00He's notorious for being handsy with business partners.
00:52:04I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:07I can handle Katz.
00:52:09We've dealt with worse.
00:52:11Just be careful, alright?
00:52:13I will.
00:52:18I promise.
00:52:22Hey.
00:52:24I gotta go.
00:52:25Love you.
00:52:33So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial,
00:52:36especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:38Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:40I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:42Now with you at the helm,
00:52:44perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable?
00:52:51Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:52:56Oh, come on, Mia.
00:52:58Don't be such a prude.
00:53:00Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:06Don't you agree?
00:53:09I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:14You'll regret this, bitch.
00:53:16I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:21Now you have one last chance.
00:53:23Ow!
00:53:27That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:38Hey.
00:53:40How'd the meeting go?
00:53:43Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:46What did he do?
00:53:48I handled it.
00:53:50Okay?
00:53:51Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:53:56Can I get you some water?
00:54:07Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:54:10I can't explain right now, just do it.
00:54:17Where's Joshua?
00:54:19Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:21He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:23No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:29What are you trying to do?
00:54:31Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:39You can't do this.
00:54:41Lane, I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:45This is you, Mr. Katz, doing something quite illegal.
00:54:50I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:54:53You can't sue me.
00:54:55It was a long time ago.
00:54:57If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:55:01In fact, just it.
00:55:04The victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:55:09You!
00:55:11If you so much as speak a word about me or me, I'll make sure you wish you weren't born.
00:55:20Where were you? I was worried sick.
00:55:22I had to take care of something.
00:55:24About Katz.
00:55:26I told you I handled it.
00:55:28I can take care of myself.
00:55:30I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:32Still, it's so reckless.
00:55:36It's okay now.
00:55:38You handled it?
00:55:40Did.
00:55:42I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:44I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:46I love you too, Mia.
00:55:50I have a surprise for you.
00:56:01I made something for you.
00:56:04What's this?
00:56:06It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:08I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:13I can't believe you made it.
00:56:15I can't believe you made this.
00:56:17I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:25This...
00:56:28This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:31How'd you get it so right?
00:56:33I may have had some help from the internet.
00:56:36And about 50 practice runs.
00:56:42You're just the best.
00:56:45We have a plan that could shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:56:52Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation.
00:56:56But this time, we will.
00:56:59I just... I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:57:02I promise you, she won't.
00:57:04With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:57:08She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:11Think about this.
00:57:12With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:18Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no use to him.
00:57:23Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:25Here's the plan.
00:57:27We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:31Disrupting it will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:37How do we proceed?
00:57:38Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:57:42We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:57:46The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:57:49The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:57:58Here's the plan.
00:58:00We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:58:03Here's the plan.
00:58:05We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:58:08Disrupting it will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:58:13How do we proceed?
00:58:15Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:58:19We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:58:23The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:58:26The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:58:34Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:58:37It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:39Thanks for coming.
00:58:41And thank you for being there for me during the coma.
00:58:45It means a lot.
00:58:47But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:50In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:54Susie, you'll always matter to me.
00:58:58But...
00:59:00Yes, I love Mia.
00:59:01I'll always love you too, but...
00:59:04as a friend.
00:59:06That's not going to be enough for me.
00:59:08It's time for me to live my own life.
00:59:11That's why I'm here.
00:59:13To say goodbye.
00:59:15Um, what's your plan?
00:59:18I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:59:21Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:24That's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:59:27Yeah.
00:59:29Susie, you wouldn't...
00:59:30Don't worry, Joshua.
00:59:32We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:34I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:38Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:54Why are there so many cancelled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:58Hey.
01:00:00You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
01:00:06There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
01:00:21Hello?
01:00:25What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
01:00:31No.
01:00:39Noah.
01:00:41The suppliers are backing out for no reason.
01:00:43It's a competitive market, Mia.
01:00:45Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:47Isn't that unusual?
01:00:49Yeah, it is. I'm going to look into it.
01:00:52Hey, are you okay?
01:00:54Yeah, I'm fine. Just busy.
01:00:56Don't worry about me.
01:00:58Okay.
01:01:01Hmm.
01:01:06You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:01:08What happened?
01:01:10It's the supplier crisis.
01:01:12The situation's worse than I thought.
01:01:17I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:01:21We'll get through this.
01:01:23Together.
01:01:31Thank you all for coming.
01:01:33We understand your concerns.
01:01:35And we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:50Now the offer looks good.
01:01:52But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company.
01:01:56Involving a higher-up.
01:01:57Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:02:02These rumors are unfounded.
01:02:13You're right.
01:02:15There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:02:17Keep digging, Ethan.
01:02:19We need concrete evidence.
01:02:21Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:02:25There's no way. He's very loyal to the company.
01:02:28Although he has been acting weird lately.
01:02:31Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
01:02:34I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:02:37No.
01:02:39Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:41He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:44I don't know what to do.
01:02:46I don't know what to do.
01:02:47He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:50Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:53I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring.
01:02:56But that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:58I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:03:01Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:03:09Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:03:11We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:03:13I've been good.
01:03:15I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:03:17And I'm really grateful for you.
01:03:19You've done so much.
01:03:21I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:03:23I care too much about you.
01:03:29Hey, I have a question.
01:03:33You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:03:42What if I do?
01:03:44Oh, wow.
01:03:47Really?
01:03:49I've put this off for too long.
01:03:52And I need to tell you now.
01:03:55I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:04:00I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:04:03We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:04:08You wore a blue dress and you looked like a princess.
01:04:12I was just starting off the company.
01:04:15I come from a humble background, so I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:04:20Not anymore.
01:04:23I'm stronger.
01:04:25I'm working.
01:04:27I know we should be together.
01:04:31Noah.
01:04:35I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:04:42Is it because Joshua's done things for you?
01:04:45I've done more.
01:04:47No.
01:04:49I love him, okay? We understand each other.
01:04:52Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't?
01:04:56You know it's not that.
01:04:58I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:05:03Just not for me?
01:05:06Noah, I'm sorry.
01:05:07Noah, I'm sorry.
01:05:09I didn't mean to lead you on and it wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:05:16It's okay.
01:05:19I understand.
01:05:22I just needed to hear it from you.
01:05:25Yeah.
01:05:30Dwayne, double down on the plan.
01:05:34There's no going back now.
01:05:37No.
01:05:42Noah.
01:05:45What brings you here?
01:05:47I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:50I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:52It's simple.
01:05:54Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:57If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:06:03So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:06:08Why would I go along with it?
01:06:11The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:06:13You and I are alike, Susie.
01:06:15We both love people who don't love us back.
01:06:18I've already let it go.
01:06:20Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:06:23If me and the Gerber family are out of the company,
01:06:26the Lean family won the business alliance,
01:06:28Joshua and Mia will get divorced,
01:06:31and you and I can finally be with them.
01:06:38Join me.
01:06:40Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:45So, Mia.
01:06:47We've heard smarter suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:50Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:52That's not what I heard.
01:06:54The rumor is Harper Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:57How do you explain this?
01:06:59I assure you, we're addressing the concerns,
01:07:01but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:07:04As one of the largest shareholders,
01:07:06I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:07:09These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:07:17The rumor was right.
01:07:19Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:07:23But there's still hope.
01:07:25I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us.
01:07:29But only if I become the new CEO.
01:07:31It's time for a change in leadership.
01:07:33Someone who can steer this company in the right direction.
01:07:36So I've brought Susie Harper with me,
01:07:38the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:07:43Susie will tell you all that
01:07:45she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:50Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:54Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate
01:07:57our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:58Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:08:03Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership
01:08:06and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:08:10Thank you, Susie.
01:08:12I owe you a big one.
01:08:14You don't owe me anything.
01:08:16I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:08:21Promise me.
01:08:23Never hurt him.
01:08:29And I have evidence that Noah Belani
01:08:32has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:08:36to sabotage the company.
01:08:39Mr. Belani,
01:08:41your actions have endangered the company
01:08:43and everybody in it.
01:08:45You're therefore terminated immediately.
01:08:59It's quite the view.
01:09:06I thought a lot about what happened
01:09:08and I wanted to say sorry.
01:09:11I should have been clearer
01:09:13and I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:18I'm sorry.
01:09:20I'm sorry.
01:09:22I'm sorry.
01:09:24I'm sorry.
01:09:26I'm sorry.
01:09:29I was lost, Mia.
01:09:31My actions,
01:09:33my obsession.
01:09:36I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:41We both made mistakes.
01:09:43I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:48You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:51You were more than a friend to me, Mia.
01:09:54I've learned to let go.
01:09:59I just want you to be happy.
01:10:03I am.
01:10:06I hope you find your happiness too.
01:10:10Take care, Noah.
01:10:14Me too.
01:10:29We are gathered here today
01:10:31to witness the reaffirmation
01:10:33of vows between Mia
01:10:35and Joshua Lane.
01:10:40Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity,
01:10:42but you've become my partner,
01:10:44my rock,
01:10:46my best friend.
01:10:49Mia, you've given me the gift
01:10:51of a real family.
01:10:53I will vow to cherish
01:10:55and love you forever.
01:10:56This is just the beginning
01:10:58of our forever.
01:11:26I love you.
