00:00:00Where are you Desmond? I've been waiting for 15 minutes already.
00:00:07I mean you probably can't be too far.
00:00:11You've reached Desmond Belmont. Leave a message.
00:00:15Desmond! Hey! I got the pizza. Boring now. Where are you?
00:00:25Okay, never mind. I'll call you back. I see you.
00:00:30Desmond Belmont
00:00:50Desmond Belmont
00:00:52Desmond Belmont
00:00:54I suspected he was having an affair.
00:00:56The last minute business trips. The late nights. The smell of a stranger's perfume clinging to his shirt when he thought I wouldn't notice.
00:01:06His mom warned me he would cheat. And never stay faithful, she said. But I didn't want to believe her.
00:01:16It was on a rainy night, just like this one. When Desmond promised me forever.
00:01:22Desmond? Hey, hey, where are you? Um, there's this creep following me. I'm really scared.
00:01:28Desmond Belmont
00:01:30Desmond Belmont
00:01:31Desmond Belmont
00:01:32Come on, baby. Don't run from me. I'll show you a good time.
00:01:35Desmond Belmont
00:01:36Don't touch me!
00:01:38Desmond Belmont
00:01:39Desmond Belmont
00:01:40Desmond Belmont
00:01:41Over esteemed
00:01:43In my DNA
00:01:44No!
00:01:45Oh!
00:01:46Hey!
00:01:48As you do.
00:01:50די
00:01:51No!
00:01:52Don't touch me!
00:01:53Emot
00:01:55AdSD
00:02:05Not touch me!
00:02:05That's my schoolhouse.
00:02:06Deadly
00:02:07Raymond
00:02:08Us
00:02:09I'm fine. It's just a scratch. I'm sorry. I should have come sooner. But from now on, I promise, I will always show up. I will protect you. Forever.
00:02:23But forever was a lie.
00:02:28How did we let this happen, Desmond? Once upon a time, you'd risk your life for me. Now you won't even pick up my call. Funny how love dies. Quietly. On a night just like this.
00:02:47As long as this is right, we are never meant to lie.
00:02:58Beatrice, I'm surprised you're calling.
00:03:04I'm ready to talk.
00:03:09Madam, Miss Lawson has arrived.
00:03:12Send her in.
00:03:18Beatrice, you look like a wet dog.
00:03:21But that's not surprising, given your background.
00:03:24Which of these do you think would be nice for Miss Fairfax?
00:03:27She's marrying Desmond, after all.
00:03:30Why in the world he chose to marry someone like you is beyond me.
00:03:34She's much more a lady of class.
00:03:37Sleeping with a married man, very classy.
00:03:40Don't you get sarcastic with me, Beatrice.
00:03:43I encouraged him to stay silent about the marriage.
00:03:46The Fairfax family would be ashamed if they knew he was married to someone with your lowly background.
00:03:53So, you will get a divorce from Desmond.
00:03:56You will stay quiet about the marriage.
00:03:59And then I don't want to see you around Desmond anymore.
00:04:04Understood?
00:04:05Yes.
00:04:08But I want $50 million.
00:04:10Excuse me?
00:04:16Are you trying to rob me?
00:04:17Please, $50 million is nothing once Desmond marries the Fairfax heiress.
00:04:22But that will only happen if I divorce him and stay silent.
00:04:26That's what you want.
00:04:28Right?
00:04:30Fine.
00:04:31You get the divorce agreement.
00:04:33And I'll get you your money.
00:04:34$50 million, exactly.
00:04:37Or the deal's off.
00:04:43We've been married for 10 years.
00:04:46But no one knows.
00:04:48I'm gonna go talk to Mr. Gamut.
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:50I'm your wife, but you hide me like I'm just some dirty secret lover.
00:04:58But once we're divorced, you won't have to be embarrassed by me anymore.
00:05:02How was your trip?
00:05:13Fine.
00:05:25I, uh...
00:05:27I just need to sign these reports.
00:05:28They're due tomorrow.
00:05:29Okay.
00:05:32Are you gonna be home for dinner?
00:05:45No.
00:05:45I'll probably be late, so just eat without me.
00:05:53You know, sometimes I don't even think you're trying to hide your mistress.
00:05:57The way you so openly let her leave her things around.
00:06:00I'm your wife, yet I'm the one you chose to keep secret.
00:06:08Goodbye, Desmond.
00:06:10Mm-hmm.
00:06:10Do you?
00:06:17But now, you won't have to keep me a secret anymore.
00:06:20Do you have news for me?
00:06:31He signed.
00:06:34Really?
00:06:34Just like that?
00:06:36I guess he doesn't love you anymore.
00:06:38This is it.
00:06:43My ticket to freedom.
00:06:45I'm finally moving on.
00:06:53I brought you a gift.
00:06:54This is one of a kind.
00:06:59I even handpicked the diamonds myself.
00:07:02I don't need any more expensive jewelry.
00:07:05Maybe you should give that to Madeline Fairfax.
00:07:07She'd enjoy it.
00:07:08Why would I give the gift to her?
00:07:09I just think the Fairfax family would, uh, like an expensive gift like that one.
00:07:13What's this all about?
00:07:15I don't owe the Fairfax family any gifts.
00:07:18Yes, Madeline and I are working on the Zine Star project together.
00:07:21That's it.
00:07:22There's nothing going on between the two of us.
00:07:26Desmond, if you love someone else, you can go be with her.
00:07:30We can get a divorce.
00:07:31We are not getting divorced.
00:07:39We are never getting divorced.
00:07:42Do you understand?
00:07:44It's a little too late for that, Desmond.
00:07:46You already signed the divorce papers.
00:07:54Hello?
00:07:55Hold on.
00:07:56What's wrong?
00:07:57All right.
00:07:58Yeah.
00:07:58Just stay put.
00:07:59I'm coming.
00:08:01I'm sorry.
00:08:06But don't ever mention divorce again.
00:08:09Get some sleep.
00:08:12Desmond, we're already divorced.
00:08:14You just don't know it yet.
00:08:21Okay.
00:08:22You sure you want me to sell all of these?
00:08:24Yeah, I don't want them anymore.
00:08:26Then you can just donate the money to charity or something.
00:08:30Yeah.
00:08:31Sell this one too, please.
00:08:34This has to be worth at least a million.
00:08:36Is Desmond really okay with the divorce?
00:08:39He doesn't know about it.
00:08:41I tricked him into signing the divorce papers.
00:08:45You what?
00:08:46Aren't you afraid of what Desmond will do when he finds out he already signed?
00:08:49No.
00:08:50No.
00:08:50With the money I'm getting from his mom, I can disappear to anywhere in the world.
00:08:54I could hire added security protection if I really wanted to.
00:08:58I'll be fine.
00:08:58And I'm not staying in this marriage any longer.
00:09:00Doesn't matter what he thinks.
00:09:01Um, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take this to my new apartment.
00:09:05Let me know you sell the jewelry.
00:09:06I will.
00:09:11Go ahead and sell this one too.
00:09:13I have no use for it anymore.
00:09:15What is she doing?
00:09:35She just got in her car with a box of clothes.
00:09:39Follow her.
00:09:40Don't let her out of your side.
00:09:41Miss, I do apologize.
00:10:07I do hope that we can settle this matter privately.
00:10:10My boss is in a hurry.
00:10:12Privately.
00:10:13Is he trying to get out of this somehow?
00:10:16Absolutely not.
00:10:17No.
00:10:18Um, I think I'd rather just wait for the cops to arrive.
00:10:21Are you sure?
00:10:22I promise we will cover all the damages.
00:10:25I'd rather us do this the proper way with all the right documentation.
00:10:28Sir, please, it's better to remain in the car with the rain.
00:10:44I have an important meeting to get to.
00:10:46I can't sit here and wait all day.
00:10:47Killian's already on his way to give me a ride.
00:10:48What'd the girl say?
00:10:49She'd prefer to go through the police, sir.
00:10:52Why?
00:10:53Did you tell her that we paid extra?
00:10:54Why the hell is she doing something?
00:10:56Oh.
00:10:57I want you to go over there and tell...
00:10:58Sir?
00:11:09Sir?
00:11:12Go give it to her.
00:11:14Give her the contact info as well.
00:11:17About the car.
00:11:18Miss!
00:11:23My boss sent this for you.
00:11:28It's a...
00:11:29I have clothes in my car.
00:11:30You could further damage your head by moving around too much.
00:11:34Please, take the jacket.
00:11:37I'll return it.
00:11:38I promise.
00:11:43Who is that?
00:11:48Beatrice was in an accident.
00:11:59Excuse me, sir.
00:12:00This is a private room.
00:12:01It's okay.
00:12:02Use my...
00:12:02Boss.
00:12:04Use my boss.
00:12:06Is her injury serious?
00:12:07She'll be okay.
00:12:08Just make sure she doesn't get this bandage wet.
00:12:18Let me make you some soup.
00:12:25Thanks.
00:12:30Whose jacket is that?
00:12:35No one's.
00:12:36Then why were you wearing it?
00:12:39Okay, fine.
00:12:41Desmond, it's her friends.
00:12:42Am I not allowed to have friends?
00:12:43I'm sorry.
00:12:56Hey.
00:12:56It just hurts.
00:12:58Hearing you say things like that.
00:13:00I'm your husband.
00:13:01I care, that's all.
00:13:03Yeah, you say you care about me.
00:13:05But you're having an affair.
00:13:07With Madeline.
00:13:08What happened to your phone earlier?
00:13:10Couldn't reach you.
00:13:11I probably shouldn't let him know I blocked his number.
00:13:14Yeah, the...
00:13:15Battery died.
00:13:17That's all.
00:13:19You know, if my call would have went through,
00:13:21I would have known that you were in an accident.
00:13:24I don't like being left in the dark, Beatrice.
00:13:27Especially when it comes to your safety.
00:13:30I noticed all your clothes and jewelry were missing.
00:13:33Closet, vanity, fully empty.
00:13:36Since when did he start noticing things like that?
00:13:38I took the clothes to the cleaner and jewelry to get detailed.
00:13:42All of them?
00:13:43Mm-hmm.
00:13:43At the same time?
00:13:45I want to resign.
00:13:48Resign?
00:13:49Yeah, yeah.
00:13:50I think it'd be good for me.
00:13:51You know, have some time off, relax, maybe travel a little bit.
00:13:56You know, that's actually not a bad idea.
00:13:57It is time that we start having children anyway.
00:14:03He thinks I'd want to have his children?
00:14:06Once upon a time, that's all I ever wanted.
00:14:10Not anymore.
00:14:11I want you to put a baby in me.
00:14:23Not right now.
00:14:25We're busy.
00:14:26Maybe next year.
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:27Yeah.
00:14:28Yeah.
00:14:28Yeah.
00:14:29Yeah.
00:14:29Yeah.
00:14:30Yeah.
00:14:31Yeah.
00:14:32Yeah.
00:14:33Yeah.
00:14:34Yeah.
00:14:35Yeah.
00:14:36Yeah.
00:14:37Yeah.
00:14:38Yeah.
00:14:39Yeah.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:41You get some sleep.
00:14:49You get a long day.
00:14:51And tomorrow, we can finalize your resignation.
00:14:53Please send me your boss's suit measurements.
00:15:08Oh, wow.
00:15:09Beatrice, this is really nice.
00:15:16Thanks.
00:15:17Yeah, it just feels so good having a place of my own.
00:15:22Now I can leave for good.
00:15:23Would you mind, please, unpacking this box while I grab the rest of the stuff from my office?
00:15:31Please?
00:15:32Of course.
00:15:33Thank you, you're best.
00:15:41You're best.
00:15:42Yes.
00:15:43Of course.
00:15:44Of course.
00:15:46You're best.
00:15:47May I ask what you require his measurements for?
00:15:50Why can't he just send the measurements and not ask so many questions?
00:15:51Why can't he just send the measurements and not ask so many questions?
00:15:55What for?
00:15:56Why can't he just send the measurements and not ask so many questions?
00:15:58Why can't he just send the measurements and not ask so many questions?
00:15:59What for?
00:16:23Lobby, I assume?
00:16:24soon? Yeah. Thanks. Are you really stalking me to get my suit measurements? No, no, no. I, uh, I actually,
00:16:38I just moved in upstairs. Sorry if it's weird that I asked. Um, I just, I need your measurements to
00:16:45replace your suit jacket. Sure. She must be into me. If you want my measurements so bad,
00:16:54I'll just have my assistant send them over.
00:17:10So it's official. You're really leaving us? Yeah, I am. But it'll be okay. Just make sure you lean on
00:17:18your new team lead for support. That's not going to happen. She's completely unqualified and a
00:17:24total bitch. Yeah. Who's the new team lead?
00:17:37Beatrice, he left us.
00:17:44There, now we can finally have some taste in the office. I know all about girls like you.
00:17:50Mom. You sleep your way to the top and then think you'll snag a billionaire husband. But
00:17:56you're just a plaything. No respect when they ever marry someone like you. Well, and you think you're so
00:18:01much better because you have my sloppy seconds? Keep it. Think of it as a parting gift. You bitch! You made my nose bleed!
00:18:20She is definitely going to drown us from work now, but seeing her run off like that definitely made it worth it. You guys don't be afraid to quit if she makes your life hell. There are plenty of other jobs out there. Trust me.
00:18:20Oh, did you find one yet? I heard Damien Crowley is looking for a new assistant if you're interested. He just flew in from Europe, so he's been over there for 10 years.
00:18:26Neil, she's a project director. She can't just drop down to be someone's secretary. And not to mention, Damien Crowley is like mortal enemies with Desmond.
00:18:32Why do you think our boss has been so stressed lately? It's because Damien Crowley is in town.
00:18:38Yeah, being a secretary would be a major demotion, but Damien is Desmond's biggest competitor.
00:18:44It'd be good to make my own business.
00:18:46It'd be good to make my own business.
00:18:48Did you find one yet? Did you find one yet? I heard Damien Crowley is looking for a new assistant if you're interested.
00:18:52He just flew in from Europe, so he's been over there for 10 years.
00:18:54Yeah, being a secretary would be a major demotion, but Damien is Desmond's biggest competitor.
00:19:00It'd be good to make my own business connections instead of only dealing with Desmond's.
00:19:04You know what? It's actually a great idea.
00:19:08I'll think about it.
00:19:12Uh, Mr. Belmont's in a meeting.
00:19:18Uh, you...
00:19:20Look what she did.
00:19:22Well, isn't this a productive meeting?
00:19:28How dare you show your face here?
00:19:31Desmond?
00:19:32I want you to punish her.
00:19:35Beatrice, why'd you hit Madeline?
00:19:38I didn't.
00:19:40She threw something at me and I...
00:19:43You liar, you totally...
00:19:45Madeline, that's enough.
00:19:47Can you leave Beatrice and I alone?
00:19:49I'd like to speak to her in private.
00:19:51I am telling my brother about this!
00:19:59Her family is a very important business partner of mine.
00:20:02You shouldn't have done that.
00:20:05It won't happen again.
00:20:07My resignation?
00:20:08My mother never calls you.
00:20:20Why is she calling you now?
00:20:21Crap!
00:20:22She's gonna talk about the divorce agreement.
00:20:24I don't know, maybe she couldn't get a hold of you.
00:20:25Beatrice, I'm ready to talk next steps about our agreement.
00:20:38Mother, what agreement do you have with my wife?
00:20:42Desmond, son, I did not know that you two were together.
00:20:45What agreement are you talking about?
00:20:47Desmond, please.
00:20:48I...
00:20:49It's...
00:20:50It's, um...
00:20:51The post-nuptial agreement.
00:20:52For what?
00:20:53For us?
00:20:54Yeah.
00:20:55Yeah, your mom made me sign it a while ago, so I didn't, uh, deplete your assets.
00:20:59Yes!
00:21:00Exactly!
00:21:01You are entitled to your full inheritance, Desmond.
00:21:02I just wanted to make sure it was protected.
00:21:03Mother, I don't need your involvement in this.
00:21:04Beatrice is my wife.
00:21:05We don't need a post-nuptial agreement.
00:21:06I want it cancelled.
00:21:07Uh, deplete your assets.
00:21:08Yes, exactly.
00:21:10You are entitled to your full inheritance, Desmond.
00:21:13I just wanted to make sure it was protected.
00:21:15Mother, I don't need your involvement in this.
00:21:17Beatrice is my wife.
00:21:18We don't need a post-snup.
00:21:20I want it canceled.
00:21:28You're already divorced, Desmond.
00:21:30Canceling the post-nuptial agreement won't make any difference at all.
00:21:34My phone, please.
00:21:37I'm going home.
00:21:43Beatrice, I feel like you're hiding something from me.
00:21:52I'm not hiding anything.
00:21:55You're tired.
00:21:57Get some rest.
00:21:58See you later.
00:22:04Roland.
00:22:05Sir.
00:22:05I need you to keep an eye on Beatrice and my mother.
00:22:11I feel like something's going on.
00:22:18Hello.
00:22:19Autumn, I'm alone.
00:22:21What next steps did you want to talk about?
00:22:23I want us to sign a written contract in person.
00:22:27One that's more legally binding.
00:22:28I'll call you with more details about it next week.
00:22:31Fine.
00:22:32But the 50 million needs to be in there.
00:22:34That needs to be in writing as well.
00:22:36Okay?
00:22:37This might be an extra step.
00:22:39But once I sign this agreement, I'll finally be done with this marriage.
00:22:43Did Desmond accept your resignation?
00:22:56Yeah.
00:22:57Yeah, he did.
00:22:58It's finally done.
00:23:00Now we can focus on planning our trip to Paris that we've been dreaming about?
00:23:04Yes.
00:23:05I'm going to look at flights right now.
00:23:06Okay.
00:23:09Hmm.
00:23:10Maybe I should look into that secretary job before making any travel plans.
00:23:14Violet.
00:23:15Since you know just everybody in the city, have you heard of this new guy, Damien Crowley?
00:23:20Of course.
00:23:23It's Damien fucking Crowley for crying out loud.
00:23:26Actually, funny story.
00:23:31Damien's company hired Scott's law firm for a case, so I see him around all the time.
00:23:35Why?
00:23:38Wait.
00:23:39Are you interested in him?
00:23:42Aren't you afraid Desmond will be jealous?
00:23:46Desmond's jealousy is his problem.
00:23:49Not mine.
00:23:50Besides, this is strictly for work.
00:23:52I do not need another man in my life.
00:23:55Okay.
00:23:57Lucky for you, Scott and Damien are golfing tomorrow.
00:24:01Let's join, so you two can meet.
00:24:14Beatrice said she was going home.
00:24:17So why isn't she here?
00:24:18Where is she?
00:24:23Uh, sir, she went to an apartment complex on Main Street.
00:24:25Looks like she rented an apartment there.
00:24:27The building is owned by the CEO of the Noble Quest group, Damien Crowley.
00:24:31He lives in a penthouse there.
00:24:39Beatrice, why are you keeping secrets from me?
00:24:42Yeah, I think I should change back into my other outfit.
00:24:48Uh, absolutely not.
00:24:49It made you look like a grandma.
00:24:51This shows off your figure so much more.
00:24:54Damien won't be able to resist you.
00:24:55Okay, but I'm not trying to seduce him.
00:24:57I'm trying to work for him.
00:24:58This isn't a good idea.
00:24:59I think, oh, well, it's too late for that.
00:25:01There he is.
00:25:02Come on, let's go.
00:25:03That's Damien Crowley?
00:25:21The guy from the car accident?
00:25:23Shit, Scott.
00:25:25Who's that next to your wife?
00:25:26She's got a rockin' hot bod.
00:25:28That's Beatrice.
00:25:29She's been my wife's bestie since high school.
00:25:31Who's she getting all dressed up for?
00:25:33Hi, honey.
00:25:36Damien, I'd like to introduce you to Beatrice Lawson.
00:25:39She was a project director at Summit Group.
00:25:42Nice to meet you, Mr. Crowley.
00:25:44What are you doing here?
00:25:46This is about the suit jacket.
00:25:47You can forget about it.
00:25:48Suit jacket?
00:25:49Wait, do they know each other?
00:25:51No, she wanted to meet him.
00:25:52It's not about the jacket.
00:25:54Although I do still want to return that.
00:25:56I'm actually here because I heard you're hiring a new secretary.
00:25:59I'd like to apply.
00:26:01Oh, she dressed up for me.
00:26:03I knew it.
00:26:04I see.
00:26:05You know, my secretary job's very tough.
00:26:09Are you sure you can handle it?
00:26:10I can assure you, Mr. Crowley, I will give this job my 100%.
00:26:13I can handle any task you throw in my way.
00:26:16Really?
00:26:16Mm-hmm.
00:26:17Can't tell by the way you dressed?
00:26:20You know, if you really want the secretary job,
00:26:22you should approach me in private.
00:26:23You shouldn't look this pretty in front of everyone.
00:26:26Jerk.
00:26:27I see.
00:26:28Thank you, Mr. Crowley, for your time.
00:26:33Wait, I...
00:26:34Wow.
00:26:36You are such a prick.
00:26:40Beatrice is one of the most competent people I know,
00:26:43and she'd be taking a major demotion to be your secretary.
00:26:46Don't write her off just because she wore workout clothes to a golf meeting.
00:26:50You know, she was in a suit when we got here,
00:26:53and I told her to change because this was supposed to be a fun outing.
00:26:56And you ruined it.
00:26:57I'll see you at home,
00:26:59but I'm starting to think who you're hanging out with is rubbing off on you.
00:27:04Greg, thanks a lot, Damien.
00:27:07We're going to hear about this all night.
00:27:08Violet begged me to join you so you can meet Beatrice.
00:27:11She just left the Summit group yesterday.
00:27:13Why?
00:27:14No clue.
00:27:15She's the best project director they had.
00:27:17Closed eight out of the 12 are the company's multi-million dollar deals.
00:27:21Well, why doesn't she just continue working on them?
00:27:23Between us, Beatrice and the Summit CEO used to date.
00:27:28And the word on the street is he's going to marry Madeline Fairfax now.
00:27:32I don't think Beatrice wants to work for a company that associates with him at all.
00:27:36So she used to date Desmond Belmont?
00:27:42Interesting.
00:27:46Desmond, I want you to explain exactly what happened with my sister at your company.
00:27:50She got injured and you didn't do anything about it?
00:27:52She's okay.
00:27:54What exactly did you want me to do?
00:27:56You didn't make Beatrice apologize to me!
00:27:59Desmond!
00:28:02Come on, my nose.
00:28:03It still hurts from yesterday.
00:28:05And not only that, but that bitch publicly humiliated my sister.
00:28:08How do you expect her to run a team?
00:28:10This looks bad on you, too.
00:28:12You swear that actually happened?
00:28:15You didn't do anything to provoke her.
00:28:18No, no, of course I didn't, no.
00:28:21She insulted me in front of everybody out of nowhere.
00:28:24It was completely uncalled for.
00:28:26You know how much I hate buyers, Madeline.
00:28:29Why are you still on her side?
00:28:31Okay, well, fine.
00:28:32If she doesn't want to return and formally apologize to me, then you need to fire her team.
00:28:36Agreed.
00:28:37We can't have Madeline's employees think they could just walk all over her.
00:28:40Her team is going nowhere.
00:28:41Beatrice was one of our best project directors here.
00:28:47And that team was a part of it.
00:28:49If Madeline can't handle the job, then she can just quit.
00:28:53And I'll hire someone that can.
00:28:56Okay.
00:28:57I see what this is now.
00:28:59Listen, if you haven't completely moved on from her,
00:29:02I'm going to have no choice but to cancel this partnership, Mr. Belmont.
00:29:06Cancel our partnership.
00:29:08I don't see you in court.
00:29:09Do you understand?
00:29:12You don't want to piss me off, Quinn.
00:29:17I'm done here.
00:29:20I have more important business to handle.
00:29:31Don't think you've won, Beatrice.
00:29:33I'll be getting my revenge.
00:29:36I'm sorry again about earlier.
00:29:37I didn't realize Damien was so stuck up.
00:29:41That's fine.
00:29:42Now we can focus on planning our trip.
00:29:44I honestly have no idea.
00:29:47That's fair.
00:29:5042L.
00:29:51Uh, Gordon just texted me Damien's suit size.
00:29:55That's great.
00:29:56I mean, maybe that means he's changed his mind and wants to talk about the job.
00:30:00I'm just going to give him his jacket back and forget about the job completely.
00:30:04So, I'm going to go ahead and text him back, figure out where he wants to meet.
00:30:07Okay, I'll talk to you later.
00:30:10Mr. Crowley will be at the Rowe Hotel this weekend for a client conference.
00:30:14You can deliver the jacket to us then.
00:30:17Hmm.
00:30:18I do have to meet Autumn at the hotel to discuss my divorce agreement anyways.
00:30:22At least this way it can kill two birds with one stone.
00:30:29Coming!
00:30:29You said you were coming home last time.
00:30:54But you didn't.
00:30:56And clearly, your stuff is not at the cleaners.
00:31:01What are you doing here, Desmond?
00:31:06Why'd you move out?
00:31:08And why'd you lie about it?
00:31:09The apartment that we lived in is yours.
00:31:13With the post-knock your mom made me sign, I have no claim to it.
00:31:16So I moved out so I could have my own space, okay?
00:31:18Yeah, that post-knock, it's being canceled.
00:31:21If you wanted your own apartment, you could have asked me.
00:31:23I would have gone.
00:31:24We could have looked for it together.
00:31:25I would have bought it for you.
00:31:26That is not the point, Desmond.
00:31:29We're married, Beatrice.
00:31:31I don't understand why you're keeping all these secrets from me.
00:31:34I'm keeping secrets?
00:31:35Me?
00:31:40You've been seeing Madeline for months now.
00:31:44Everyone knows you plan to marry her.
00:31:45Yet you have the nerve to accuse me of keeping secrets.
00:31:49I don't know what you're thinking.
00:31:52But you're wrong.
00:31:53I want you to come home with me.
00:32:07You can trust me.
00:32:10I don't know that I can.
00:32:11I've noticed you weren't wearing yours.
00:32:21You were due for an upgrade anyway.
00:32:31And...
00:32:32Are we done now?
00:32:34I'd like some time alone.
00:32:35Okay.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:41But...
00:32:42I will see you at home.
00:32:45One way...
00:32:46Or another.
00:32:49Hmm.
00:32:55You can't buy real love, Desmond.
00:32:58You haven't touched your coffee.
00:33:11It's not poison, if that's what you're worried about.
00:33:15Not thirsty.
00:33:16Poison is tacky, Beatrice.
00:33:18Hmm.
00:33:19Not that you could be expected to know that with your background.
00:33:22Can we just skip the small talk, please?
00:33:26We don't like each other.
00:33:27That's okay.
00:33:27Let's just move on.
00:33:31Here is the legal agreement.
00:33:34Your breakup fee of $50 million is in there.
00:33:39Sign it.
00:33:41Breakup fee?
00:33:42Why is she suddenly saying breakup fee?
00:33:45And this document is oddly long.
00:33:48There are so many sections.
00:33:50And a lot of weird clauses about payment.
00:33:52Hmm.
00:33:52She must be up to something.
00:33:55I don't have all day, Beatrice.
00:33:57Hmm.
00:33:58Okay, um...
00:33:59I'm just gonna need to check this with my lawyer.
00:34:01So I'm gonna go give her a call right now.
00:34:04Fine.
00:34:05Hmm.
00:34:10Did you hear that?
00:34:11She's calling her lawyer.
00:34:13I heard.
00:34:13Don't worry.
00:34:15That agreement is foolproof.
00:34:16So you can get me out of this, darling, yes?
00:34:18I won't have to pay a thing.
00:34:20I'm positive.
00:34:21The Belmont family will never be extorted by Beatrice Lawson again.
00:34:24Trust me.
00:34:27Beatrice, you won't be the same when you leave the hotel today.
00:34:30That is if you leave at all.
00:34:34Sir?
00:34:36Beatrice has gone to the Roe Hotel to meet with your mother.
00:34:38Why the hell would she do that?
00:34:40Get the car ready.
00:34:41We're going there now.
00:34:42Yes, sir.
00:34:43I knew there was something wrong with this document.
00:34:46I'd have to be crazy to sign that.
00:34:48Okay, it's clear I'm the only one who's serious about my payment.
00:34:53Let me check if Damien's available now to receive the jacket.
00:35:00Miss, do you need any help with your belongings?
00:35:02Mr. Crowley, if I may ask, why do you insist on picking up the jacket directly from Miss Lawson?
00:35:25Um, it's because it's an expensive jacket.
00:35:31And you're a billionaire.
00:35:33And you're a billionaire.
00:35:38Curious?
00:35:39Miss Lawson just sent me a half-written message.
00:35:42I'm at the hotel.
00:35:47I'm at the hotel.
00:35:47Where should we...
00:35:49She got interrupted.
00:35:52Dude, something's not right.
00:35:54Let's go.
00:35:56But I'm Belmont Reserve.
00:35:57The meeting room on this floor.
00:35:58This is Beatrice's stuff.
00:36:07She wouldn't just leave them sprawled out in the middle of the hallway.
00:36:10What are you up to?
00:36:13Something's off.
00:36:14Search all the rooms.
00:36:15Oh, she's awake.
00:36:24Hey, sweetheart.
00:36:26You like your new jewelry?
00:36:29I wouldn't do that.
00:36:32But not one pouch.
00:36:34We've been paid a lot of money for this job.
00:36:37Someone must really hate you, huh?
00:36:39Turn on the camera.
00:36:42Stop.
00:36:43They said we can do whatever we wanted to.
00:36:47As long as we scared you senseless.
00:36:50You know what?
00:36:51I think we should play Russian roulette.
00:37:02She's got to be in one of these rooms.
00:37:13Beatrice!
00:37:18Keep looking!
00:37:21You said you saw a bellhop help her into a room.
00:37:23Yes, about 20 minutes ago.
00:37:28It's going to be fun.
00:37:36Damn it!
00:37:37Where's Beatrice?
00:37:51Is she injured?
00:37:54I'm not sure.
00:37:55It looks like they drugged her with something.
00:37:57Oh, no.
00:38:00Take them out of here.
00:38:01Figure out who did this.
00:38:02Beat her out of them if you have to.
00:38:03You're okay now.
00:38:10You better keep this between us.
00:38:11Otherwise, you can kiss the partnership between me and your hotel goodbye.
00:38:15Of course, Mr. Crowley.
00:38:18Oh, no.
00:38:20Oh, no.
00:38:26I'm going to take you to the hospital.
00:38:29It's going to be all right.
00:38:29Where's Beatrice?
00:38:33How should I know?
00:38:34She came here to meet you.
00:38:36I figured to cancel the post-nuptial agreement?
00:38:38Yes.
00:38:39And I gave her the cancellation contract, and then she just disappeared.
00:38:44You know, Desmond, I don't think it's wise to cancel an agreement that's protecting your assets.
00:38:51Your opinion means nothing to me, Mother.
00:38:53This is the Belmont family name at stake.
00:38:56Of course, my opinion matters.
00:38:59Desmond, please.
00:39:01Just think about marrying Madeline Fairfax.
00:39:05I'm not marrying Madeline.
00:39:08She's just entertainment.
00:39:10And her family still has some use to me.
00:39:15What if Beatrice finds out about your affair?
00:39:18Then I'll leave Madeline.
00:39:19I'm not going to end my marriage with someone who just offers me simple pleasures.
00:39:25Stop trying to get Beatrice to divorce me.
00:39:28Or else I'll tell everyone that Beatrice is my wife.
00:39:35That would ruin our relationship with the Fairfax family.
00:39:38The Fairfax family means no importance to me if it means losing Beatrice.
00:39:42There are so many other companies out there that I can partner with.
00:39:45But there's only one Beatrice.
00:39:47Do you understand?
00:39:50It's the last time I'm telling you.
00:39:53I will not stand for this.
00:39:56Beatrice is not a fit wife.
00:39:59And you will not stay married to her.
00:40:05If I don't stay married to that woman,
00:40:07I will tell Colin,
00:40:08I will tell everyone on this staff
00:40:10that you no longer reside on the Belmont Estates.
00:40:13I'll put you in a fucking retirement home.
00:40:17Are we clear?
00:40:19Think about it.
00:40:22I'm not having this conversation with you again.
00:40:24You've already signed the divorce, Desmond.
00:40:34You might not care about my opinion,
00:40:36but this is happening whether you like it or not.
00:40:41So her vitals are stable.
00:40:43The drug was just a sedative,
00:40:45so there is no long-term damages.
00:40:47Of course.
00:40:48Good.
00:40:53You're awake.
00:40:55Yeah.
00:40:58Hi.
00:40:58You're in the hospital.
00:41:01Do you remember what happened?
00:41:04Yeah.
00:41:05The hotel.
00:41:06Oh.
00:41:07I thought those guys were going to kill me,
00:41:09and you saved me.
00:41:11I don't know how I could ever...
00:41:13That's not necessary.
00:41:15You're alive, and that's all that matters.
00:41:20However, I thought you should know
00:41:21that the armed men said that they were hired
00:41:23by someone associated with the Belmont family.
00:41:26I have the records.
00:41:28Let me know if you want to press charges.
00:41:30Someone involved with Desmond?
00:41:33Also, you should come in an interview.
00:41:37You wanted to be my secretary, right?
00:41:40Really?
00:41:40Really?
00:41:43Thank God, Beatrice.
00:41:44You're okay.
00:41:50Mr. Crowley,
00:41:51what are you doing here?
00:41:53Beatrice and I had a meeting.
00:41:55I was the one who found her.
00:41:57Beatrice?
00:41:58You guys are on a first-name basis?
00:42:06Here's my number.
00:42:13Go ahead and reach out to me directly
00:42:15once you've made your decision.
00:42:32What happened?
00:42:33I was attacked.
00:42:35I'm going to make sure to find them.
00:42:39I will.
00:42:39I've already contacted hotel security
00:42:41to get the surveillance footage.
00:42:43I'm not going to let them get away.
00:42:45That's funny,
00:42:46because someone close to you
00:42:47hired those men to begin with.
00:42:53Desmond, wait.
00:42:54Desmond!
00:42:55Just help me!
00:42:55Where are we going?
00:42:57Home.
00:42:58Desmond.
00:42:59Desmond!
00:42:59Stop!
00:43:00Did you get the security footage?
00:43:13Yes, but unfortunately,
00:43:15the cameras on the floor
00:43:15she was taken to
00:43:16were turned off
00:43:17before the incident occurred.
00:43:18We were unable to see anything.
00:43:20The attackers were thorough.
00:43:22How would you like us to proceed,
00:43:23Mr. Belmont?
00:43:24Don't bother with anything.
00:43:26Beatrice will recover,
00:43:27and then this whole thing
00:43:28will just blow over.
00:43:29Understood.
00:43:30Anything else?
00:43:31Yeah.
00:43:32I need you to fire
00:43:33Madeline Fairfax tomorrow.
00:43:36This whole thing is becoming
00:43:37a hassle.
00:43:39Understood.
00:43:43Where's the rest of the footage?
00:43:45Those guys should have
00:43:46bruised her up pretty badly.
00:43:47They barely said anything.
00:43:49I wonder if they actually killed her.
00:43:51That would be the best-case scenario.
00:43:53Then I wouldn't have to deal
00:43:54with her annoying antics anymore.
00:43:56Um, hello?
00:44:05I don't see any work being done.
00:44:08It's 12.30.
00:44:10It's lunchtime.
00:44:12I don't care.
00:44:13Let's go.
00:44:14Chop-chop!
00:44:15You can't force us
00:44:15to work through lunch.
00:44:16That's illegal.
00:44:17Yes, I can.
00:44:18I'm the project manager now,
00:44:20so you have to do what I say.
00:44:22No, they don't.
00:44:24Madeline Fairfax,
00:44:25you are no longer employed
00:44:26by Summit Group.
00:44:27Please leave the office immediately.
00:44:29What are you talking about?
00:44:30Of course I am.
00:44:32I replaced Beatrice,
00:44:33so I'm in charge now.
00:44:36Desmond gave me the job himself.
00:44:38And now he's taking it away.
00:44:40You're no longer welcome
00:44:41on Summit Group property.
00:44:42Your privileges have been evoked.
00:44:47Excuse me?
00:44:48You can't do that!
00:44:50Yeah, I can.
00:44:51Uh, this gentleman
00:44:51will escort you out.
00:44:53Whatever.
00:44:54Now that Beatrice is gone,
00:44:56Madame Belmont can finally announce
00:44:57my engagement to Desmond.
00:44:59Her charity bank
00:45:00will be the perfect occasion.
00:45:01I'll make sure Desmond attends
00:45:03as my date
00:45:03so the whole community knows
00:45:05that I am the future
00:45:06Mrs. Belmont.
00:45:19I can't remember
00:45:20the last time
00:45:20he made me pancakes.
00:45:22Eat up.
00:45:23You need to regain your strength.
00:45:26How are you feeling?
00:45:28Do I need to call the doctor?
00:45:29We can get an at-home visit going.
00:45:30No, I am perfectly fine.
00:45:34Okay.
00:45:36Just so you know,
00:45:37I did call off work
00:45:37this entire week.
00:45:40No way I can be here for you
00:45:41whenever you need me.
00:45:42What's the point of acting
00:45:43like you're in love with me now?
00:45:46It's too late, Desmond.
00:45:49It's okay.
00:45:50You don't have to do that.
00:45:51Like I said, I'm fine.
00:45:53I want to.
00:45:54I'm your husband.
00:45:55I care about you.
00:45:59I was thinking
00:46:00maybe
00:46:02after you recover
00:46:04you start trying for a baby.
00:46:08We're both home.
00:46:11I think it would be
00:46:12the perfect time.
00:46:13What do you think?
00:46:14Once upon a time,
00:46:21all I ever wanted
00:46:22was to have a baby with him.
00:46:24But now,
00:46:25it would be my worst nightmare.
00:46:27I'm not ready for a baby.
00:46:29I'm not.
00:46:31Violet and I
00:46:31were planning a trip to Paris.
00:46:33I want to travel.
00:46:33I want to be alone
00:46:34for a little while
00:46:36first.
00:46:37Well,
00:46:39okay.
00:46:41The process takes nine months.
00:46:44We could start now.
00:46:45And then you have
00:46:46all the time in the world
00:46:47to travel before
00:46:48the baby's born.
00:46:50It's important
00:46:51that the Belmont family
00:46:52has an heir.
00:46:53We could even
00:46:54get started right now.
00:46:57Where were we?
00:47:17Why didn't you
00:47:18answer her call?
00:47:20I already told you.
00:47:21I'm not going
00:47:22into work this week.
00:47:23Roland will handle
00:47:23any office concerns.
00:47:25You know?
00:47:26What about home?
00:47:26Why don't we
00:47:27call the designer?
00:47:29Convert one of the
00:47:29bedrooms into a nursery.
00:47:32You know,
00:47:33I'm, uh,
00:47:35I'm getting a headache.
00:47:36I should go away now.
00:47:38You should make sure
00:47:38your employees
00:47:39know when you're
00:47:40out of office.
00:47:49Roland already
00:47:50terminated your position.
00:47:51What do you want?
00:47:52Desmond.
00:47:53Hi.
00:47:54Madeline,
00:47:55I don't have time
00:47:56for this.
00:47:57If you have anything,
00:47:59just have Roland
00:48:00handle it.
00:48:01I'm busy.
00:48:02Wait.
00:48:03I left the company
00:48:04like you requested,
00:48:05but perhaps we could
00:48:06see each other
00:48:07one last time
00:48:08to say goodbye.
00:48:10I think you owe me
00:48:10that, at least.
00:48:13Fine.
00:48:15When?
00:48:16This weekend.
00:48:17Your mother is hosting
00:48:18a charity banquet.
00:48:20We can go together.
00:48:21All right.
00:48:22All right.
00:48:23I'll be there.
00:48:25But, Madeline,
00:48:25don't try anything funny.
00:48:28I have one line.
00:48:30Don't cross it.
00:48:34Now everyone will finally
00:48:35know we're getting engaged,
00:48:37Desmond.
00:48:37This is insane,
00:48:42Beatrice.
00:48:43Mm-hmm.
00:48:44I mean,
00:48:45I'm glad you're okay now,
00:48:46but who do you think
00:48:47was behind this?
00:48:49I have my suspicions.
00:48:51Okay,
00:48:52I can't prove it,
00:48:53but I think
00:48:55it was
00:48:55Madeline
00:48:56Fairfax.
00:48:58Madeline
00:48:58Fairfax.
00:49:00That reminds me.
00:49:01Desmond is supposed
00:49:02to be at
00:49:03Madame Belmont's
00:49:03charity gala
00:49:04this weekend.
00:49:05Yeah.
00:49:05I mean,
00:49:06this is a mom's gala.
00:49:07I'm sure you'd be there.
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:09But,
00:49:10Madame Belmont
00:49:11is planning to announce
00:49:12Desmond's engagement
00:49:13to Madeline Fairfax.
00:49:15I actually think
00:49:16it makes a lot of sense
00:49:17if Madeline
00:49:17is the one
00:49:18behind your attack.
00:49:19She wants to get rid
00:49:20of you once and for all.
00:49:22Wait,
00:49:23how do you know
00:49:23all of that?
00:49:25She sent invitations out.
00:49:30Wow.
00:49:32They're going public.
00:49:37This is actually perfect.
00:49:41I think I'm going
00:49:42to pay my husband
00:49:43a visit to his
00:49:45engagement party.
00:49:47But I'm going to
00:49:48need your help.
00:49:49Of course.
00:49:58Yes?
00:50:01You look nice.
00:50:05This is for my
00:50:06mother's charity banquet.
00:50:07Oh.
00:50:11I didn't realize
00:50:12she was hosting
00:50:12an event today.
00:50:15You going to bring
00:50:16a date?
00:50:20No.
00:50:22I'd only want to
00:50:23attend the event
00:50:24with you,
00:50:25but I figured it'd be
00:50:26best if you stayed
00:50:27home to recover
00:50:28for a little bit
00:50:28while longer.
00:50:29more lies.
00:50:35Well,
00:50:36I appreciate
00:50:37your concern.
00:50:43You'll be okay
00:50:44tonight while I'm gone?
00:50:47Of course.
00:50:48We'll get some sleep,
00:50:49some actual rest.
00:50:50You need it.
00:50:51Don't wait up for me.
00:50:52One day you'll understand.
00:50:58I wasn't waiting.
00:51:00No,
00:51:00I was learning
00:51:01to live without you.
00:51:02And now,
00:51:03I don't need you.
00:51:06I never did.
00:51:12Lovely to see you again.
00:51:14This is quite
00:51:15the turnout,
00:51:16madam.
00:51:16It really is.
00:51:27That's Mr. Belmont
00:51:29and Miss Fairfax.
00:51:31They make such
00:51:31a beautiful couple.
00:51:33I heard their engagement
00:51:34is being formally
00:51:35announced tonight.
00:51:38Madeline,
00:51:39always a pleasure
00:51:40to see you.
00:51:40You look stunning.
00:51:46Oh,
00:51:46thank you,
00:51:47madam Belmont.
00:51:48Anything for this
00:51:48fantastic gala
00:51:50you've arranged?
00:51:52Desmond,
00:51:52you look dashing.
00:51:55Madeline,
00:51:56could I have
00:51:56a quick word
00:51:57privately with you?
00:51:59I want to talk
00:51:59about some of the
00:52:00jewelry that's up
00:52:01for auction.
00:52:01Of course.
00:52:08Beatrice never returned
00:52:09with her finalized break,
00:52:10of agreement.
00:52:12Have you been
00:52:13in contact with her?
00:52:17Madam Belmont
00:52:17doesn't know
00:52:18about my stunt
00:52:18with those attackers.
00:52:20Then I almost
00:52:20had that bitch killed.
00:52:24Yes.
00:52:25She contacted me.
00:52:27She signed it
00:52:27earlier today.
00:52:28Oh,
00:52:29that's wonderful.
00:52:30I'm so looking forward
00:52:31to having you
00:52:31as my daughter-in-law.
00:52:33You're so reliable.
00:52:35Thank you,
00:52:35madam Belmont.
00:52:36I try my best.
00:52:37Please,
00:52:37we're about to be family.
00:52:39No need to stand
00:52:40on formalities.
00:52:41Call me Autumn,
00:52:42or mom if you prefer.
00:52:44Okay, mom it is then.
00:52:53Desmond?
00:52:54What do you think?
00:52:56The diamond ring
00:52:57by Mrs. Nelson
00:52:58is stunning,
00:52:59but the emeralds
00:53:00from Mrs. Smith,
00:53:00they're so unique.
00:53:02They both sound fine.
00:53:03Oh,
00:53:03what about this one?
00:53:04A one-of-a-kind
00:53:05diamond necklace.
00:53:06Wow.
00:53:07It says the diamonds
00:53:08were hand-picked
00:53:09by the original owner.
00:53:18This is Beatrice's necklace.
00:53:21The one
00:53:21I just gave her.
00:53:23And those are
00:53:23her pink diamonds
00:53:24from our anniversary.
00:53:26And
00:53:26her wedding ring.
00:53:28She sold them all.
00:53:29That's why she wasn't
00:53:30wearing her wedding ring.
00:53:32You guys enjoyed
00:53:32the rest of the gala.
00:53:33I have something important
00:53:34I need to take care of.
00:53:36Wait, what?
00:53:37You can't leave now.

01:00:34Let's go home.
01:00:37Talk about all of this.
01:00:40Oh, Desmond.
01:00:42Did I forget to mention?
01:00:47We're already divorced.
01:00:52We're not.
01:00:54Don't say that.
01:00:56Do you think I only recently found out about you cheating?
01:01:00No.
01:01:01I've known for a long time.
01:01:03All those work trips, those late nights at the office.
01:01:08Come on, you were never subtle.
01:01:11You flaunted her.
01:01:12Like she was some sort of prize while you just tied me down, refusing to get a divorce from me.
01:01:19Do you have any idea what that felt like?
01:01:23It felt like a knife was being drove into my chest over and over again.
01:01:30But somehow, my heart kept beating, kept loving you through every lie.
01:01:36I'm refusing to get a divorce.
01:01:48Do you have any idea what that felt like?
01:01:50She's brave.
01:01:51She's brave.
01:01:52That's my girl.
01:01:54Yes, she is, sir.
01:01:55Let's go check out the live show.
01:02:01Madeline, honey, let's go.
01:02:02This is enough embarrassment already.
01:02:04No!
01:02:05They are getting divorced.
01:02:06We can still be together.
01:02:07Well, Beatrice, that was a sad, pitiful story.
01:02:13But since you don't want Desmond, you can go ahead and pack up and leave.
01:02:16I'm surprised you're still alive after the other night.
01:02:21Other night?
01:02:26What did you do to her?
01:02:27Nothing, I, um...
01:02:33I...
01:02:35Then why did you say the other night?
01:02:39What did you do to her?
01:02:41So it was her, after all.
01:02:44I was right.
01:02:46My friend said she saw me and she's gone on top of two random men.
01:02:50And I don't know what could have happened.
01:02:52They could have killed her.
01:02:53Or worse.
01:02:54Here.
01:02:57I have evidence to prove it.
01:03:02Thank you, Madeline.
01:03:04Now I have all the proof I need.
01:03:06How'd you get that photo, Madeline?
01:03:08My friend took the picture after she saw you go into that hotel room with those men.
01:03:13But if your friend saw me go into the hotel room, how did she get the picture from inside the hotel room?
01:03:19Unless your friend was one of the attackers in the room with me.
01:03:30The attackers confessed pretty immediately.
01:03:32They just wouldn't admit who specifically hired them.
01:03:35All they would say was that it was someone connected to the Belmont family.
01:03:40Since you're the person they sent the picture to, that means you're the one who hired them.
01:03:47Liar!
01:03:48She's lying!
01:03:49I didn't hire anyone!
01:03:50Then how did you get the photo, Madeline?
01:03:54We have all the proof we need.
01:03:56The authorities should be here soon to arrest you.
01:03:57I really, really hope you enjoy jail.
01:04:01You sent me up?
01:04:03They must have done something to you.
01:04:05You couldn't have fought three men off by yourself.
01:04:07No, no, you're right.
01:04:08I was drugged and I was tied up.
01:04:11Thankfully, someone rescued me.
01:04:14No, someone saved you.
01:04:16Where's your knight in shining armor now, huh?
01:04:19You're a liar.
01:04:20Nobody saved you.
01:04:22I did.
01:04:23I did.
01:04:36I saw what you did back there.
01:04:54It was pretty cool.
01:04:57Beatrice, it's so good to see you.
01:04:59Oh my God, that's Damien Crowley.
01:05:01What is he doing here?
01:05:03And it looks like he's really close to Beatrice Lawson.
01:05:06I heard he never attends formal events like this.
01:05:10So is he here just for Beatrice?
01:05:12I can't believe it.
01:05:14She's married to Desmond and close to Damien?
01:05:17The two richest men in L.A.?
01:05:20Mr. Crowley.
01:05:22Well, I thought we were on a first-name basis after what happened last time.
01:05:25Just call me Damien.
01:05:27I was just having dinner next door and I heard some commotion.
01:05:29Figured I'd drop by.
01:05:30I hope you don't mind if I crash the party.
01:05:31Sorry for disturbing your dinner.
01:05:34No, it's not your fault.
01:05:36Besides, I feel like I could be of assistance here.
01:05:38You see, I was there the night of the attack.
01:05:40Ms. Lawson was taken by two assailants into a hotel room.
01:05:43Luckily, we got there in time before the situation escalated any further.
01:05:47It's true.
01:05:48Mr. Crowley intervened.
01:05:49Ms. Lawson was unharmed except for injuries to her wrist.
01:05:54How would Damien Crowley happen to be at the hotel at the right time to rescue Beatrice?
01:05:58What makes her so lucky?
01:05:59So now that that's settled, I would like to speak to you in private.
01:06:06I have a proposal for you.
01:06:11Thank you truly for saving my wife.
01:06:15Unfortunately, she's not going anywhere with you privately.
01:06:19That's for her to decide.
01:06:28Enough!
01:06:30You have no right to thank anyone on my behalf.
01:06:35I was serious about the divorce.
01:06:37You made your choice.
01:06:37I'm just making it official.
01:06:39Beatrice.
01:06:41Our marriage is over.
01:06:42You don't mean that.
01:06:43I love you.
01:06:48Love is sacred.
01:06:52You don't get to use those words to me.
01:06:54Now go be a good little son like your mom always wanted.
01:06:57Just go marry Madeline.
01:07:05Madeline Fairfax.
01:07:06Madeline, I'm placing you both under arrest.
01:07:10You have the right to remain silent.
01:07:15No!
01:07:16No!
01:07:16You have the right!
01:07:17You can't do this to me!
01:07:18Madeline!
01:07:19Madeline, I'll contact the lawyer.
01:07:20Don't be afraid.
01:07:22We will get you out of this.
01:07:23Madeline did everything.
01:07:25I had nothing to do with that.
01:07:26Ma'am, Miss Lawson was seen at the hotel meeting with you.
01:07:29Now we believe you're an accomplice.
01:07:31And we will be looking into this further.
01:07:34Let's go, guys.
01:07:34Get him out of here.
01:07:35No!
01:07:38Desmond!
01:07:38You're not seriously choosing this lowlife over your mother!
01:07:42I'm your mother!
01:07:43You can't do this to me!
01:07:45I can't let my own mother go to jail.
01:07:47I'm gonna fix that.
01:07:48And then we'll talk.
01:07:49We'll talk.
01:07:57Now that that's done,
01:07:58and since we're already here,
01:07:59can I buy you a drink?
01:08:01It's a strong drink for a girl.
01:08:09Strong women deserve a strong drink.
01:08:15Cheers on your victory tonight.
01:08:24So, what did you want to speak with me about?
01:08:27I was just wondering if you were still interested in being my secretary.
01:08:30Really?
01:08:32I thought my outfit choices weren't up to your standards.
01:08:36That's not what I meant.
01:08:38Then what did you mean?
01:08:40I just meant that...
01:08:42you should only dress like that for me.
01:08:48Never mind.
01:08:49It's still about the job.
01:08:50Your base salary is going to start at $400,000.
01:08:52And then I'm going to give you a bonus of $100,000,
01:08:54bringing your total to $500,000.
01:08:56Plus, I'm going to offer you a stock option.
01:08:58So if you stay with the company for the first three years,
01:09:00your total compensation is going to be a million.
01:09:03Over a million.
01:09:04That's a very generous offer, Mr. Crowley.
01:09:11Damien.
01:09:13Sorry.
01:09:14Can't call you that.
01:09:18Why?
01:09:19Because from now on, you're my boss.
01:09:27Okay.
01:09:27Okay.
01:09:28How about in the office, you call me Mr. Crowley,
01:09:38but in private.
01:09:41Or you call me Damien.
01:09:43Is he...
01:09:45flirting with me?
01:09:49You got it.
01:09:51Boss.
01:09:53Great.
01:09:55And since we live in the same building,
01:09:56how about I give you a ride home tonight?
01:10:06I'm sorry about all of this, Desmond.
01:10:10I should never have tried to get you to marry Madeline.
01:10:14I didn't know she was capable of something so vile.
01:10:18Clearly, she's not a fit for the Belmont family after all.
01:10:21And the way she tried to throw me under the bus
01:10:24at the police station saying it was my idea
01:10:28to hire those men to assault Beatrice.
01:10:31What a wicked accusation to make.
01:10:35You should relax.
01:10:38Tomorrow, we will start the search
01:10:40for a suitable wife for you
01:10:41once we get all this nonsense with Beatrice sorted.
01:10:44You didn't seem to understand me before, Mother.
01:10:47Beatrice and I are not getting divorced.
01:10:57But, son, you already are.
01:11:01Then we'll get remarried.
01:11:02You can have any woman you want.
01:11:06Why her?
01:11:07I had one line.
01:11:09Mother.
01:11:10And you crossed it.
01:11:13Therefore, first thing in the morning tomorrow,
01:11:15you'll be moving into the retirement home I mentioned.
01:11:18What?
01:11:19You have tonight to pack your things,
01:11:21and Colin will have a car ready for you in the morning.
01:11:23All right.
01:11:32You.
