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.
00:02:22Trust 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.
00:03:09Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being cold to little ruffles?
00:03:13That's what I heard.
00:03:15I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:17I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:19Joshua, I was hoping you said-
00:03:21Not interested.
00:03:22Get lost.
00:03:23I don't think it would be good for him to see you.
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.
00:03:57Hey, 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.
00:04:24Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:29I do.
00:04:32And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:37I do.
00:04:39Um, the rings?
00:04:49You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:06Let's get one thing straight, Mia. This 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.
00:05:24My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:28She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:30Done.
00:05:38You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:05:43Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:05:45You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:05:50Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:05:53What agency are we using?
00:05:55We're still deciding. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:05:59Perfect. I have a plan.
00:06:05I'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, Ms. Gerber.
00:06:14What do you ask of me in return?
00:06:17I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:06:20I don't mind. I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:06:28You have a deal. The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:06:34There's a little more.
00:06:36I 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.
00:07:05But 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?
00:07:16Alex struck me as opportunistic. A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholder's opinion.
00:07:21And Eleanor'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.
00:07:38It's all business.
00:07:42Business, right.
00:07:44Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:07:50How did you know about that?
00:07:52You didn'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.
00:08:29And 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?
00:09:09No, as per your request.
00:09:11Perfect. 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.
00:09:44I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:09:48Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:09:51Mia helped me, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her favor.
00:09:57Do you care for her?
00:10:00You don't dislike her?
00:10:02No. Mia deserves someone who truly loves her. Not you.
00:10:07She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants. Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves. Especially not you.
00:10:21You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:10:27Your choice.
00:10:29Alright, look.
00:10:31If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:10:59How 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.
00:11:26So 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.
00:11:42Fire them all.
00:11:44No, no. It's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:11:49Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:11:54It suits you.
00:11:56It's not funny.
00:12:00It's late.
00:12:03I'm going to bed.
00:12:05Okay. Goodnight.
00:12:14Talk like this.
00:12:25Go ahead with the plan. Shorten the stock of Catherine's company. I want to see them bleed.
00:12:39Mia, you need to see this.
00:12:42The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically. They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:12:47Just a week? How is this possible?
00:12:50Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:12:51Someone powerful is behind this.
00:12:55Joshua.
00:13:01Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:13:03Yes, I did.
00:13:05Why?
00:13:07Strictly for business. To protect our family's alliances. Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:13:12Thank you, Joshua.
00:13:14I just did what's necessary. Just like you would do.
00:13:17Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:13:19Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything.
00:13:23I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:26As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:13:30Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:13:34Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:13:37Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:13:40I'm sorry.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
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.
00:14:02Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:14:07This hospital is all that I have left. Please.
00:14:09No.
00:14:11That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:14:15You made your decision then.
00:14:17Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize.
00:14:21To make things right.
00:14:23Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:14:26I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:14:29I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:14:32Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:14:34Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:14:37I know.
00:14:39I'm sorry.
00:14:41I'm sorry.
00:14:43I'm sorry.
00:14:45I'm sorry.
00:14:47I'm sorry.
00:14:49I'm sorry.
00:14:50I'm sorry for what's been done, Bradley.
00:14:53I know. I just...
00:14:55I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:15:12You're really like they say.
00:15:14Tall, handsome, powerful.
00:15:20You know, I can make you a very happy man.
00:15:28I 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.
00:15:44With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:15:48We could be parents again.
00:15:49Give 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.
00:16:01I'm dirty.
00:16:02But think about all the good memories we have.
00:16:03Think about more to come.
00:16:05Just stay.
00:16:06Let go.
00:16:07Mia, don't.
00:16:08Bradley.
00:16:09I'm serious.
00:16:10Don't.
00:16:11Get the fuck out of here.
00:16:12Get the fuck out of here.
00:16:13I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:16:21It's fine, Joshua.
00:16:23Thank you for stepping in.
00:16:25Thank you for everything.
00:16:28Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:16:34Right.
00:16:35Yeah.
00:16:36The business plan.
00:16:37You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:16:42Don't look into it too much.
00:16:44Let's go.
00:16:45Actually, you know what?
00:16:48Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out
00:16:54my feelings.
00:16:55I understand.
00:17:02They've destroyed everything.
00:17:04We can't let them get away with this.
00:17:09What if we take Mia?
00:17:13A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:18Abducting 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.
00:18:10Hey!
00:18:18Hey!
00:18:24Help!
00:18:32Hanging?
00:18:38Thought 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!
00:19:10That's for talking back to me.
00:19:15Look at you, just 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 Catherine are behind
00:19:58this.
00:19:59These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:20:02This one.
00:20:14Mia?
00:20:15I got you.
00:20:16Let's get you out of here.
00:20:17I don't want to die.
00:20:18I'm going to find you.
00:20:19Let's get you out of here.
00:20:49Stop!
00:21:02It's not worth it.
00:21:19Made 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.
00:21:53Thought it might comfort you.
00:21:56Must 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?
00:22:15Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:22:17A guest has arrived.
00:22:18Her name is Susie Harper.
00:22:20Susie's back?
00:22:28Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:22:36Susie, it's been ages.
00:22:39When'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, Suze.
00:22:46I came back just for you.
00:22:49Oh, there's so much...
00:22:53Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:22:57Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:23:00So, 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.
00:23:35So, I'll leave you to it.
00:23:42Susie, why would you say those things?
00:23:45I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:23:49Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:23:51I was just speaking up for you.
00:23:54I don't need you to look out for me.
00:23:57I'm sorry.
00:23:58I just...
00:24:00I 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.
00:24:14This means I still have a chance.
00:24:16Joshua, if I had stayed by your side,
00:24:20you 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?
00:25:12I can't live without you.
00:25:24How could I live without you?
00:25:28I'd do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:25:42Joshua!
00:25:44Joshua!
00:25:46Joshua!
00:25:48Joshua!
00:25:50Joshua!
00:25:53We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:25:59Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:26:01Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:26:03I don't even know what that means.
00:26:05There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:26:07You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:26:09What?
00:26:11Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:26:23What's he doing here?
00:26:27Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:26:39And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:26:44And what exactly have you done?
00:26:46I'm sorry.
00:26:48I will protect her at all costs.
00:26:50And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:26:53Seems like all talk but no action.
00:26:55What are you two doing?
00:26:59What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so irrational?
00:27:01This is ridiculous! You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:27:05I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:27:07I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two. It wasn't my intention.
00:27:12It's fine. Why are you here?
00:27:14I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:27:17I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:27:23Is that Dwayne?
00:27:25And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:27:31This plan is our game changer.
00:27:34What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest rival.
00:27:37They're going in a completely different direction. We're way ahead of them.
00:27:42And how do you know that?
00:27:44The 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.
00:27:54Right. Of course, Dwayne. Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:28:05See? He's fine.
00:28:08I 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.
00:28:51Where'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.
00:29:22Mia, 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.
00:30:29Acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:30:35Now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:30:38Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:30:44I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:30:51That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:30:55My strategies have been more than effective.
00:30:58The Phinney acquisition has potential long-term benefits, and our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:31:05This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on the job.
00:31:13As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:31:19I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:31:22I 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.
00:31:35What 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. All these years, I'm never the 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.
00:32:19Mia, we're so proud of you. You've really handled the crisis well.
00:32:24Thank you. You truly are our government.
00:32:30Noah, 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 a...
00:32:43It all started with a anonymous tip.
00:32:46Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tip.
00:32:53This is your schedule for the week.
00:32:56And what's this?
00:32:58Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:33:01Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:33:04Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:33:07I don't know. But the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:33:15Can I see the photos?
00:33:23I don't know.
00:33:25I don't know.
00:33:27I don't know.
00:33:28I don't know.
00:33:35I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:33:42Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:33:46Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:33:50Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:33:54He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:33:56We then delivered the photos.
00:33:59Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:34:03Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:34:05No need to.
00:34:09Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:34:13Joshua's a... he's a complicated man.
00:34:17He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:34:20He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia. This must mean he cares about you.
00:34:25He could just talk to me next time.
00:34:28Well, Joshua has his ways. He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:34:33I just ask that you...
00:34:36don't hurt him.
00:34:38I won't.
00:34:40You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:34:49Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:34:51It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:34:54What about it?
00:34:56I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne. Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:35:00It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:35:02Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:35:06Did you do it because...
00:35:08No, no. It's nothing like that.
00:35:10I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:35:14It would look bad for me.
00:35:16So it's all about appearances?
00:35:17Yes, Mia. That's all it ever is. We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:35:22Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:35:25Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:35:29I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or...
00:35:33keeping up appearances.
00:35:36I want a divorce.
00:35:40I want a divorce.
00:35:45You sure about this?
00:35:48I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:35:51Not this...
00:35:53facade.
00:35:55I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:35:59I want genuine happiness.
00:36:01I understand.
00:36:03If that's what you want.
00:36:08Joshua, please.
00:36:12Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:36:17Okay.
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:53Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:36:56Mia.
00:36:58Mia?
00:37:00Here, don't leave. Don't leave.
00:37:02You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
00:37:05No.
00:37:07I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:37:11Okay.
00:37:13Let's go.
00:37:17Mia.
00:37:22Mia.
00:37:24Mia.
00:37:32Morning, Josh.
00:37:34Here, drink this.
00:37:36You have had quite a night.
00:37:38Susie.
00:37:40Where am I?
00:37:42This is my apartment.
00:37:44Nothing bad happened.
00:37:45I 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.
00:38:06Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:38:09You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:38:15No.
00:38:38No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:38:41Why?
00:38:42I have always loved you.
00:38:45Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:38:49Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:38:54It can't be anything more.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:59Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
00:39:05Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:39:09I need to go tell her. Now.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:43Hey.
00:39:54Hey.
00:39:56I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:39:58Are you okay?
00:40:00I'm fine. It's just... It's for the best.
00:40:04There's something I need to tell you.
00:40:06Sorry. It'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.
00:40:18What's wrong?
00:40:19It's Joshua. He's been in an accident.
00:40:28Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:40:38Joshua.
00:40:41Miss Gerber?
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:43We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:40:48It's not my fault.
00:40:52It was nobody's fault. It was an accident.
00:40:55But right now, he needs you.
00:40:57Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:41:02I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:41:07You remember that suit you made me?
00:41:10It meant the world to me.
00:41:13Whenever you get better, I'm going to make you that suit.
00:41:19Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:41:22It was those little moments with you.
00:41:25You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:41:31sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:41:41Please come back to me.
00:41:47This is all your fault, Mia.
00:41:50You 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.
00:42:04Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:42:08Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:42:10So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:42:13I won't stand for it.
00:42:15What's the plan?
00:42:17I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:42:19He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:42:21His voice can sway their mind.
00:42:25Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:42:28I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:42:31After all, she's the one who made the suit.
00:42:34Well, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:42:37You're too kind.
00:42:39I'm merely stating a fact.
00:42:41Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:42:44So, tell me.
00:42:46Why do you want to see me?
00:42:48Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:42:50You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:42:53Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:42:57We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:43:00I can't do anything at this time.
00:43:01Joshua is out of commission.
00:43:03It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:43:06Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:43:10Alex is the only choice.
00:43:12And what if I told you
00:43:14there's another choice?
00:43:17And what if I told you
00:43:19there's another choice?
00:43:21I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings
00:43:24as Joshua's legal wife.
00:43:26I can uphold his legacy and,
00:43:28as you mentioned before,
00:43:29I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:43:32Your vote, of course, is crucial, but
00:43:35more than anything,
00:43:37people trust your judgment.
00:43:39If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:43:42And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:43:45Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:43:48I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:43:51They'll keep things running smoothly,
00:43:53even if I'm not there full-time.
00:43:55I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings
00:43:57until Joshua gets better.
00:43:59What if he doesn't?
00:44:01He will.
00:44:03I admire your tenacity.
00:44:05I'll do what I can.
00:44:07Thank 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.
00:44:42Given Joshua's current condition,
00:44:44I propose Mia Gerber
00:44:46as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:44:49Mia Gerber?
00:44:51She's from a different company.
00:44:53How is she even qualified?
00:44:55Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:44:56She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:44:59Combining the strengths of both companies
00:45:01under her leadership
00:45:03will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:45:05This is absurd.
00:45:07Mia is practically a stranger
00:45:09to our company's operations.
00:45:11While I appreciate your concerns,
00:45:13I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:45:16And unlike Alex here,
00:45:18who has had his hand in multiple
00:45:20questionable business dealings,
00:45:22I offer a clean slate
00:45:24and a fresh perspective.
00:45:26I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:45:28Mia's appointment as interim CEO
00:45:30is the best course of action for now.
00:45:33We're dead.
00:45:35Stop, Alex.
00:45:40Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:45:46Let's go.
00:45:48You ain't gonna take over
00:45:50with no consequences, Mia?
00:45:52I'm gonna make her pay.
00:45:54You won't be touching her.
00:45:56Who the fuck are you?
00:46:02Dammit, she's gone.
00:46:04Take care of her.
00:46:13See the security camera?
00:46:15I'm gonna get the footage.
00:46:17And if you ever try and hurt me again,
00:46:19I'll call the police.
00:46:21You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:23Take care of her.
00:46:25Goddammit!
00:46:36Thanks.
00:46:44Noah, what happened?
00:46:46Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:46:48You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:46:53Are you okay?
00:46:57Thanks, but the reason I came over
00:47:00was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:47:03Mrs. Lane, it's Mr. Lane.
00:47:05He'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.
00:47:13No, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:47:19Joshua, Joshua, Joshua,
00:47:21fucking Joshua.
00:47:24When you wake up,
00:47:26we can be together.
00:47:29Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:47:32But you and I,
00:47:35we're meant to be.
00:47:40Mia.
00:47:42Joshua, you're awake.
00:47:45Mia.
00:47:48Excuse me, miss.
00:47:51Mr. Lane?
00:47:54Mr. Lane?
00:47:56Mia.
00:47:58Can you hear me, sir?
00:48:00Mia.
00:48:02Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:48:04Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:48:06Do you remember what day it is?
00:48:08Mia.
00:48:10Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:48:15Joshua.
00:48:17I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:48:19No, Mia.
00:48:21Don't blame yourself.
00:48:23It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:48:25You got hurt because of me.
00:48:27Mia, listen to me.
00:48:32I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you.
00:48:35For not being honest about my feelings.
00:48:38I was afraid to admit it.
00:48:41Even to myself.
00:48:43I can't hide it anymore.
00:48:45I love you, Mia.
00:48:48I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:48:49You should have said them sooner.
00:48:53I love you too, Joshua.
00:49:20Noah Belaney.
00:49:22Drinking alone?
00:49:24What do you want, Duane?
00:49:26Just to talk.
00:49:28You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:49:32Maybe we could help each other out.
00:49:38Thank you for standing up for me
00:49:40while I was out.
00:49:42I heard you managed
00:49:44as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:49:46I handle things.
00:49:48I actually have a business meeting later today
00:49:50with a potential partner.
00:49:52Who's the partner?
00:49:54Kevin Katz.
00:49:57He's a key player in the industry.
00:49:59Katz?
00:50:01He's notorious for being
00:50:03handsy with business partners.
00:50:05I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:50:08I can handle Katz.
00:50:10I've dealt with worse.
00:50:12Just be careful, alright?
00:50:14I will.
00:50:15I will.
00:50:20I promise.
00:50:24Okay.
00:50:26I gotta go.
00:50:28Love you.
00:50:36So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial,
00:50:38especially when expanding into new markets.
00:50:40Absolutely, Mia.
00:50:42I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:50:43Now with you at the helm,
00:50:45perhaps we can find ways
00:50:47to make our partnership
00:50:49more enjoyable.
00:50:52Mr. Katz,
00:50:54let'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
00:51:03when there's a personal touch.
00:51:06Don't you agree?
00:51:10I will not be doing business
00:51:11with people who cannot respect
00:51:13personal boundaries.
00:51:15You'll regret this, bitch.
00:51:17I 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.
00:51:52Okay?
00:51:54Let's just focus on getting you better
00:51:56and back in charge.
00:51:58Can I get you some water?
00:52:00Ethan, get the bodyguard
00:52:02and meet me downstairs.
00:52:04I can't explain right now.
00:52:06Just do it.
00:52:11Where's Joshua?
00:52:13Mr. Lane checked out.
00:52:15He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:52:17No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:52:19I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:52:21I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:52:23I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:52:25I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:52:27I'm sure he'll be fine.
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,
00:52:49doing something quite illegal.
00:52:51I must say,
00:52:53your taste is really reprehensible.
00:52:55You can't sue me.
00:52:57It was a long time ago.
00:52:59If I could still release the video,
00:53:01you'll lose everything.
00:53:03In fact, just it.
00:53:06The victim's identity was protected
00:53:08and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:53:11You!
00:53:12You so much as speak a word about me or me,
00:53:15I'll make sure you wish you weren't born.
00:53:22Where were you? I was worried sick.
00:53:24I had to take care of something.
00:53:26About Katz.
00:53:27I told you I handled it.
00:53:29I can take care of myself.
00:53:31I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:53:33Still, it's so reckless.
00:53:38It's okay now.
00:53:40You handled it?
00:53:42I did.
00:53:44I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:53:46I really do love you, Joshua.
00:53:50I love you too, Mia.
00:53:54I have a surprise for you.
00:53:57What is it?
00:54:05I made something for you.
00:54:08What's this?
00:54:10It's your mom's recipe.
00:54:12I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:54:17I can't believe you made this.
00:54:20I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:54:27This...
00:54:30This 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.
00:54:57But this time, we will.
00:55:00I 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 and Lane will probably divorce Mia.
00:55:22Because she's no use to him.
00:55:25Mia could finally be yours.
00:55:27Here's the plan.
00:55:29We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:55:33Disrupting it will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:55:39How do we proceed?
00:55:41Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:55:45We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:55:48The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:55:50With the resources stretched so thin,
00:55:53they won't even see us coming.
00:56:03Why are there so many cancelled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:56:07Hey.
00:56:09You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
00:56:16There are rumors someone's been persuading them.
00:56:20To cut ties with the Gerbers.
00:56:31Hello?
00:56:36What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
00:56:39Noah.
00:56:41The suppliers are backing out for no reason.
00:56:44It's a competitive market, Mia.
00:56:46Yeah, but this feels coordinated. Isn't that unusual?
00:56:49Yeah, it is. I'm going to look into it.
00:56:53Hey, are you okay?
00:56:55Yeah, I'm fine. Just busy.
00:56:57Don't worry about me.
00:56:59I'm going to head back to the office.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:03I'm going to head back to the office.
00:57:05Okay.
00:57:06Don't worry about me.
00:57:08Okay.
00:57:16You look like you've been through a war zone. What happened?
00:57:20It's the 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.
00:57:36Together.
00:57:44Thank you all for coming.
00:57:46We understand your concerns, and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
00:58:03Now, the offer looks good.
00:58:04But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company involving a higher level.
00:58:11Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
00:58:15These rumors are unfounded.
00:58:27You're right. There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
00:58:30Keep digging, Ethan. We need concrete evidence.
00:58:33Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
00:58:37There's no way. He's very loyal to the company.
00:58:41Although he has been acting weird lately.
00:58:44Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
00:58:47I mean, feelings make us do things.
00:58:50No. Noah's a brother to me.
00:58:53He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
00:58:56Actions speak louder than words.
00:58:58I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
00:59:02I really don't think there's anything more to it.
00:59:05Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
00:59:14Hey, just wanted to check in. We haven't had any time to talk lately.
00:59:18I've been good. I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
00:59:21I know, and I'm really grateful for your help.
00:59:23I've been good. I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
00:59:26I know, and I'm really grateful for your help.
00:59:30I never wanted you to be burdened. I care too much about you.
00:59:38Hey, I have a question.
00:59:43You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
00:59:50No.
00:59:52What if I do?
00:59:55Oh, um, really?
01:00:00I've put this off for too long, and I need to tell you now.
01:00:06I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:00:11I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:00:14We were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:00:18You wore a blue dress and looked like a princess.
01:00:22I was just starting off with the company, and I come from a humble background,
01:00:27so I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:00:30Not anymore.
01:00:33I'm stronger. I'm working.
01:00:37I know we should be together, Mia.
01:00:41Noah.
01:00:44I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:00:51It's because Joshua's done things for you. I've done more.
01:00:56No. I love him, okay? We understand each other.
01:01:01Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't?
01:01:05You know it's not that. I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:01:10Just not for me?
01:01:13Noah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lead you on, and it wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:01:22It's okay.
01:01:25I understand.
01:01:28I just needed to hear it from you.
01:01:31I know.
01:01:40Dwayne, double down on the plan. There's no going back now.
01:01:51Noah, what brings you here?
01:01:56I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:02:00I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:02:02It's simple. Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:02:07If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:02:12So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:02:18Why would I go along with it?
01:02:21The question is, why wouldn't you? You and I are alike, Susie.
01:02:25I don't always love people who don't love us back.
01:02:28I've already let it go.
01:02:30Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:02:32If me and the Gerber family are out of the company, the Lean family won the business alliance,
01:02:38Joshua and Mia will get divorced, and you and I can finally be with them.
01:02:47Join me. Together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:02:54So, Mia, we've heard Smart Suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:02:59Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:03:02That's not what I heard. The rumor is Harper Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:03:07How do you explain this?
01:03:09I assure you we're addressing the concerns, but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:03:15As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:03:19These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:03:22The rumor was right.
01:03:24Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:03:28But there's still hope.
01:03:30I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us.
01:03:34But only if I become the new CEO.
01:03:38It's time for a change in leadership.
01:03:40Someone who can steer this company in the right direction.
01:03:43So I've brought Susie Harper with me, the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices.
01:03:48Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:03:54Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:03:57Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:04:02Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:04:06Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and in her commitment to the company.
01:04:12Thank you, Susie.
01:04:14I owe you a big one.
01:04:16You don't owe me anything.
01:04:18I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:04:23Promise me.
01:04:25Never hurt him.
01:04:29And I have evidence that Noah Boulani has been conspiring with Harper Medical Devices
01:04:35to take over the company.
01:04:37And I have evidence that Noah Boulani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:04:44to sabotage the company.
01:04:47Mr. Boulani, your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:04:53You're therefore terminated immediately.
01:05:06I'm sorry.
01:05:21It's quite the view.
01:05:28I thought a lot about what happened.
01:05:30And I wanted to say sorry.
01:05:33I should have been clearer.
01:05:35I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:05:38I was lost, Mia.
01:05:40My actions.
01:05:42My obsession.
01:05:45I'm sorry for everything.
01:05:50We both made mistakes.
01:05:52I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:05:57You were a good friend, Noah.
01:06:00You 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.
01:06:32Perfect.
01:06:40We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:06:51Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity, but you've become my partner, my rock, my best friend.
01:07:00Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:07:03I will vow to cherish and love you forever.
01:07:07This is just the beginning of our forever.
01:07:29I love you.
01:07:31I love you.
01:07:33I love you.
01:07:35I love you.
