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