Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Brian.
00:00:07Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:13What the hell is going on here?
00:00:16Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:19Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:00:23Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:28They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:32Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:38Well, looks like Shepard Guild might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:48Hey, this is a private suggestion.
00:00:50Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:53Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:01:00But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:08Do I know you?
00:01:11What are you doing?
00:01:13What are you doing?
00:01:15You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:17You can't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:20This is incredible!
00:01:22What's going on?
00:01:24The shorting attempt. It's failing!
00:01:26The price is holding!
00:01:29Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:36We met before.
00:01:37They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:40Hold on.
00:01:41Tell me.
00:01:42How could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:45If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:58Jason,
00:01:59Give me her five.
00:02:01Now.
00:02:11Mr. Yates.
00:02:14What? Only two bodyguards this time?
00:02:17You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:19No, ma'am. I just thought you might like discreet today.
00:02:23Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:27Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:32Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:38Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:43Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:48Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:52Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:02:59Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:11Why?
00:03:12You are not worthy of my son anymore. The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now. Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract. The Shepherd Group. And you? You're just a cleaner.
00:03:30The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:36I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41Are you? A cleaning woman? Handing out million dollar deals? Don't make me laugh.
00:03:48I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday. I was the one who got Bryan Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:56What are you doing here?
00:03:59Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family. Amber's family is practically a local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty. A small town rich person is royalty.
00:04:12And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner? Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
00:04:20Ben?
00:04:21What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
00:04:28Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart? No. No, I won't sign any agreement then.
00:04:44I won't sign anything.
00:04:47Huh. Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:53Alright. Here. A hundred thousand dollars. Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59A hundred thousand dollars.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today. Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous. You've never done anything for Ben's success. This is our act of charity to live.
00:05:15Here. A million dollars. Take this. You just want more money, don't you? Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this. Since none of you respect me.
00:05:33A cleaning lady. Threatening us. I'm so scared. Just leave. You already make this house stink.
00:05:42Thank God she's gone. Go to Ritten's to her.
00:05:52Sir?
00:05:53Sir?
00:05:54Laura Lewis's information.
00:05:58She's Ben Harrison's wife. No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
00:06:05Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:09Divorced her? Wait a minute. Don't you remember? She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:20Yeah. She saved our hiding then. Remember?
00:06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:28I don't know. Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:36Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!
00:06:39You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
00:06:45Stealing from the Harrisons. We gave you a generous divorce settlement, you refused it, and now you're stealing!
00:06:51She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
00:06:58That's mine! Give it back!
00:07:02Wait! Wait!
00:07:03Listen up!
00:07:05Laura?
00:07:07I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:10It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce. You see, it's...
00:07:18Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
00:07:20Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
00:07:22Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
00:07:27Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:28For your information, my name is Brian Shepard. I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:34Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:38You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:41That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:47That's ridiculous! He doesn't look like that. My ring.
00:07:51Jason, give it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:52Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:57Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
00:08:00Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:05It's alright, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:08:08Oh, rabbed dead bodies!
00:08:09You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:08:12We are the Harrisons! You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:08:16Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:19Now go back.
00:08:20What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!
00:08:24Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
00:08:28Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
00:08:30Laura!
00:08:32Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:37Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:42I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:45After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:49No! Um...
00:08:51No, the event will proceed.
00:08:54Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:56There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:02Who are you, truly?
00:09:04You'll find out.
00:09:06Mr. Shepard.
00:09:08Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:13Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
00:09:23An investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:27Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:38Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:40I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:42Ben Harrison.
00:09:45You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:49After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:00Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:02Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:05Security?
00:10:06Get that woman out of here!
00:10:08We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:11Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:12This is a business event, after all.
00:10:15Business?
00:10:16You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:19A fancy dress doesn't make you have society, honey.
00:10:22Just get out!
00:10:23Don't tell me you couldn't look in for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:26You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:28Well, Ben, do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:33Laura, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:36You don't belong here. Just get out!
00:10:45That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine.
00:10:55To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:58Don't be ridiculous! This is insane!
00:11:00Who do you think you are?
00:11:02Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:04Security! She's lost a mind!
00:11:07This is a disaster!
00:11:09Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:13but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:35Laura?
00:11:37I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:11:41It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:11:47You see, it's...
00:11:49Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
00:11:51Excuse me, do you know who I am?
00:11:53Is this true? You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:11:56Shame on you!
00:11:58Mr. Shepard, I...
00:11:59For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:12:03I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:12:05Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:12:09You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:12:12That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:12:18That's ridiculous! He doesn't look like that!
00:12:21My ring!
00:12:23Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
00:12:24Oh, hey, what are you doing?!
00:12:28Laura, let's get you out of here. Now!
00:12:31Hold on a minute, Laura!
00:12:32Who the heck is this man or have you been sneaking around?!
00:12:36It's all right, ma'am. This is none of your business.
00:12:39I'll grab dead bodies!
00:12:41You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
00:12:44We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her!
00:12:47Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
00:12:51What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard? That's a lie!

00:14:55Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:14:58You should've taken my $100,000 offer.
00:14:59Oh, Ben.
00:15:01Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:15:04Laura, this is really important for me.
00:15:06Do not ruin this, okay?

00:15:29Don't be ridiculous!
00:15:30This is insane!

00:15:33Yeah, put that down.
00:15:34You have no idea what you're doing.
00:15:36Security!
00:15:37She's lost a mind!
00:15:38This is a disaster!
00:15:40Ben.
00:15:42This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:15:45but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:15:47You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:15:48You're so silly.
00:15:49You don't deserve it.
00:15:50You don't deserve it.
00:15:51Oh, please, honey.
00:15:52You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:15:53You're so silly, Lauren.
00:15:54Oh, please, honey.
00:15:55You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:15:56Security!
00:15:57Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:15:58I was the one.
00:15:59You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help?
00:16:16You're so silly, Lauren.
00:16:17Oh, please, honey.
00:16:18You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:16:21Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:16:25I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:16:28And after careful consideration, I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:16:36You really think that the Shepard group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:16:41You have no authority here.
00:16:43Of course she has the authority.
00:16:51That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
00:16:54Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
00:16:56Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:16:59Laura, are you alright?
00:17:02Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:17:07There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:10This contract with Shepard group is officially terminated. Effective immediately.
00:17:17Wait a minute. This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:17:20It's her. She ruined the contract. You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:17:25An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:17:31Mom, please, it's okay. This man is...
00:17:33Don't touch me! That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone, has an affair and you just stand there?
00:17:40You're a disgrace. An adulterer. You deserve to be arrested.
00:17:43Shut up!
00:17:46Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:17:52Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then?
00:17:58What was my name before we got married?
00:18:02Laura Lewis, right?
00:18:04Lewis group? The financial giants?
00:18:07There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:18:11That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
00:18:17It's... it's... it's absurd!
00:18:21A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
00:18:25Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:18:29In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:18:33She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
00:18:36I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:18:42First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
00:18:45Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:18:50Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:18:54And look at her. Still just a cleaner.
00:18:57Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite!
00:19:03She's lying, Mr. Shepherd.
00:19:05She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:19:08Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:19:15I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:19:22Don't lie! You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops!
00:19:27That roof was built with lies. Cathy, you never respected me.
00:19:32And Ben? Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:19:37And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:19:43You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now!
00:19:47If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Cathy.
00:19:53Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.
00:19:59Wait, wait, wait, wait! Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:20:06And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:20:08I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets. Nobody cares about you.
00:20:14Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:20:19I don't need a fancy title. Or a rich husband to feel important.
00:20:26I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important. Right, Mom?
00:20:33Ben, what are you doing?
00:20:35But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:20:40A janitor.
00:20:42Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:20:50You did. Claimed to have been the one that secured the deal. Weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:20:55Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:21:02I... but, well...
00:21:05A lie, you say? Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:21:10But I don't recognize you.
00:21:12Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:21:14Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions. This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:21:23But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up. So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:21:31Reprint it, Mr. Harrison. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:21:36Without Miss Lewis' involvement, I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
00:21:45Today, I want to make it clear.
00:21:48Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:21:55Miss Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
00:21:59What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
00:22:03Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
00:22:08Believe what you want, Ben.
00:22:10Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:22:15Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
00:22:19And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
00:22:26Everyone, listen to me.
00:22:28Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
00:22:33A man who can keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
00:22:40The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:22:42Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:22:47Miss Lewis, shall we take this conversation elsewhere?

00:30:10you just let me enjoy one of my events for once i know what this is so stupid oh such a trap
00:30:19amber spoke directly with the ceo he invited her to meet with the vps before the main meeting
00:30:24yeah amber got me a partnership with the lewis group and unlike some people i have a real invitation
00:30:32well before you all start celebrating why don't you take a look at this
00:30:42oh that's rich you may have brian shepherd fooled but you can't fool me
00:30:45i spoke to ian lewis himself ceo of lewis group speaking of brian where is he right now you mean
00:30:55my uncle ian don't be ridiculous ian lewis personally gave me this invitation himself
00:31:03and besides this looks fake she's a liar
00:31:07this is a personal invitation from mr yates himself it grants me access to the vip elevator
00:31:16which leads straight to the vice presidential suite she's lying they don't have a vip elevator in
00:31:21this hotel is there a special elevator for vips in this hotel not that i know of see she's lying
00:31:33there you have it laura even the hotel staff can spot a fake go on get lost before things get worse
00:31:39here take this one lead me to the vice presidents you have no idea what you just did there be consequences
00:31:54besides if you have this relationship with ian lewis that you claim to have
00:32:00why don't you just ask him to get the two of them an invitation security security we need this woman
00:32:06removed immediately she is harassing me we're done with your games laura you're just a fraud man
00:32:12place with what hold on
00:32:17brian shepherd you think money buys you the right to walk all over people well it doesn't
00:32:22yeah wasn't enough to kick us out of maplewood was it huh what other plans do you have to destroy
00:32:27this time get you out after what you did to laura you had it coming don't play dumb we know exactly
00:32:35what's been happening here how long has this little affair been going on you've been sleeping
00:32:39with her since she was married to my son hold on a second an affair you think laura and i you people
00:32:47are unbelievable mr carter get down here asap we have a situation what you think you can just boss
00:32:57the manager around now is that it we'll stick around and watch you crash and burn miss lewis
00:33:02apologies for the delay how can i help you this evening thank you mr carter for getting down
00:33:07here so quickly it seems there's a misunderstanding these people don't think that i belong here well
00:33:15mr carter i can assure you this woman is a cleaner a cleaner nonsense i personally agreed to miss lewis
00:33:21upon her arrival in maplewood three years ago exactly lewis group my company has some major investments
00:33:31planned here in maplewood i was just here investigating potential business opportunities
00:33:37no this woman doesn't know the difference between business and a hole in the ground she's been this
00:33:42way since my son divorced her she's insane actually i met laura three years ago at the coffee shop
00:33:48she helped secure a profitable investment for shepherd group no it's a lie mr shepherd she's tricking you too
00:33:56you know it's exhausting trying to argue with people who forget who helped them mr carter would
00:34:07you mind showing me to the vip elevator wait is that why you're covering for her huh because of the
00:34:12affair because she slept with you excuse me who are you and how dare you speak to miss lewis that way
00:34:18enough of this that's enough having you embarrass yourself enough this is lewis group property
00:34:24behave or i'll call security but she doesn't even have a vip entrance access she shouldn't be here
00:34:31since you're having trouble understanding ben let me make it clear this hotel is owned by the lewis
00:34:38family it's mine to come or go as i please thank you for sending me in brian i owe you one we'll talk
00:34:52about this later well it seems divorcing a powerful woman wasn't the best decision mr harrison
00:34:59i think so come in excuse me vice presidents i'm amber smith general manager of the lewis group
00:35:14maplewood branch i believe ian lewis told you about our meeting today maplewood branch our records don't
00:35:22show any maplewood branch miss smith are you sure you haven't gotten something mixed up ian lewis mr lewis
00:35:32reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans expansion plans miss smith a decision
00:35:42like that wouldn't be taken without board approval and frankly we haven't heard anything about maplewood
00:35:48bridge but ian lewis assured me that miss smith we have a very important guest arriving soon
00:35:56perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting with one of our staff
00:35:59maybe i can stay for this guest and offer some local incident we'd like you to leave if you don't
00:36:05we'll call security hey stop there this elevator is a vip only back please of course my apologies
00:36:18oh laura vice presidents it's so good to see all of you again
00:36:32miss lewis it's been too long your return is a lifesaver miss lewis the lewis group has
00:36:38floundered under your uncle's well shall we say unconventional leadership the board are begging
00:36:45you to come back miss lewis well please sit yes well it is time for me to get my career back on track
00:36:55we've got a meeting planned a big one in just a few days local powerhouses and and smaller players
00:37:03too they'll all be there in one spot miss lewis we met with an amber smith she claimed your uncle
00:37:12appointed her general manager of a maple wood branch for the lewis group she said that did she
00:37:19well miss smith is a liar there is no maple wood branch at least not yet she lied so blatantly it was
00:37:26it's unbelievable well don't worry i found a much more suitable partner
00:37:34shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been impressive
00:37:39do you do do you have anything to do with that so what happens now with this amber smith oh don't

00:38:24are yes we were waiting for miss smith lewis group maple wood branch no such thing ma'am and frankly i'm
00:38:32not interested in your act of course laura she's probably sleeping with the manager as well that's
00:38:40how she gets away with everything you underestimate her kathy she's probably sleeping with all three
00:38:45vice presidents no way a girl like her could get into a hotel like this careful with your words both of
00:38:51you acquisitions like that can get you in serious trouble look who can't even get into a meeting whilst i
00:39:00secure three with all the vice presidents and let's not forget the mystery guest that they're bringing
00:39:05to maple wood looks like she used you and tossed you aside used me unlike some people i don't mind

00:39:35doing here get out of here you claim to be the mystery guest don't play games laura i was formally
00:39:43invited by lewis group themselves to the investment meeting only the top companies get those looks like

01:11:45if you don't want to ruin everything completely you'll come with me right now
01:11:51no right now
01:11:55What is going on here? Did they finally expose Laura's lies?
01:12:14Shepard Group. They're the new partner that's partnering up with Lewis Group for Maplewood.
01:12:19They're handling all future construction projects.
01:12:21That can't be. What about us? That was our project.
01:12:25Remember, Laura teamed up with Brian. Harrison Group is practically out. We have no chance.
01:12:30We can't give up that easily. Remember, Ian Lewis himself appointed me as general manager.
01:12:36In a few days, he promised that he would let us meet with the new heir.
01:12:40You're right. If we can just meet with the new heir, we can bypass the Shepards and meet directly with the Lewis Group.
01:12:46We just have to play their little game and see who comes out on top.
01:12:50That's right.
01:12:55Vice Presidents, allow me to introduce my associate, Brian Shepard. I'm sure I've mentioned him before.
01:13:03Mr. Shepard, it's finally a pleasure to meet you. We've looked into your company's financial review. Very impressive.
01:13:11Thank you. Thank you, but a large part of that success is thanks to Ms. Lewis.
01:13:17No.
01:13:18She practically saved me from disaster. Three times over now.
01:13:22Brian, you can just call me Laura.
01:13:24Ms. Lewis' recommendation is very telling, Mr. Shepard. Perhaps today clarifies everything.
01:13:32Mr. Shepard, this opportunity is golden. Seize it. A woman like Laura is not easy to find.
01:13:41Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Vice President.
01:13:52Did Laura send you to kill me?
01:13:53Laura? Hardly. I'm Ian Lewis, CEO and rightful heir of the Lewis Group.
01:14:03So you're Laura's uncle?
01:14:05In the flesh.
01:14:07So Laura really is your niece?
01:14:09Yes, little Laura. She just threw away her birthright about two, three years ago.
01:14:16Ran off and married a nobody from Maplewood. I think he was a Harrison.
01:14:21Now Laura's got the VPs and Mr. Yates on her side. Did you hear she's throwing a banquet in a few days to announce her official takeover?
01:14:28And we can't let that happen, can we, my dear?
01:14:31If you're Ian Lewis, wouldn't you have the family ring?
01:14:34Well, my dear, that's where you come in, Miss Duke. We need you to relinquish my ring.
01:14:40What if I, what if I fail? My family is already ruined.
01:14:46Yes, you are in a spot of bother, I must say. But if successful, I guarantee that you and the Duke family will get back everything you've lost.
01:14:57Laura's got the VPs and Brian on her side. How can I possibly get the ring?
01:15:01There is a way, you know, that we can make Laura relinquish and give up that ring willingly.
01:15:10Laura, my dear, welcome.
01:15:12Uncle Ian, it's so good to see you.
01:15:19Laura.
01:15:20So good to see you.
01:15:21And you, it's been too long, two, three years perhaps. How have you been?
01:15:27I've been well, Uncle Ian. Thank you for asking.
01:15:32I see you've been busy keeping Lewis Group afloat.
01:15:35Yes.
01:15:36Kind of been easy.
01:15:37Indeed, somebody had to. I mean, after you left me with everything to do, without a safe pair of hands, I hate to think it would have happened to the company.
01:15:46Actually, Uncle Ian, from what I've heard, you've lost billions with some questionable investment decisions.
01:15:55Yes. Minor mistakes. Minor.
01:15:58Don't worry, Uncle Ian. I won't hold it against you.
01:16:02Good. Well, cheers to you coming back here and the Lewis Group.
01:16:10Oh, I'm so sorry, Laura. How clumsy of me.
01:16:15No, no worries, Uncle Ian. I'll just go to the restroom and get cleaned up.
01:16:21Of course. Right away, just down to the left.
01:16:31Use it wisely.
01:16:33Oh, I will.
01:16:48Hey, Laura. How's that...?
01:16:51Hello, Brian. Your little girlfriend is with me now.
01:16:54Chloe. How in the hell did you get Laura's phone?
01:16:58Let's just say that I have my ways.
01:17:01Listen, Chloe. Don't hurt her. Please. I'll do anything.
01:17:08Come to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Now.
01:17:14Don't tell anyone if you want her alive.
01:17:17Well, you certainly do have your ways.
01:17:23Oh, thank goodness you've cleared up. I am sorry. How clumsy.
01:17:29And don't forget your phone. I retrieved it for you.
01:17:32Thank you. I'm going in.
01:17:34Lovely to see you again.
01:17:35Yeah. I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the banquet.
01:17:39At the banquet.
01:17:42I'll see you then.
01:17:43Will do. Looking forward to it.
01:17:46What?
01:17:48Laura!
01:17:49Laura!
01:17:50Where are you?
01:17:52Laura!
01:17:53Laura!
01:17:55Where are you?!
01:17:56Oh, my God, Laura!
01:17:58Laura, where are you?
01:17:59Sch!
01:18:00Sch!
01:18:01Gotcha.
01:18:05You weren't expecting that, were you?
01:18:20Finally.
01:18:21Looks like your little boyfriend got turned around.
01:18:23What the?
01:18:24Laura, where are you?
01:18:25Laura?
01:18:26Laura?
01:18:27Go shut your mouth.
01:18:29Chloe.
01:18:30What have you done?
01:18:31You out of your mind?
01:18:32Out of my mind.
01:18:33You're the one that left me for that tram and destroyed my life.
01:18:37That's not true.
01:18:38You're the one who messed up.
01:18:40Brian!
01:18:41Laura!
01:18:44Stay where you are.
01:18:45You better not come alone.
01:18:48Drop this knife, Chloe.
01:18:50This is insane.
01:18:51Insane?
01:18:52I did this for us, Brian.
01:18:55We were meant to be together.
01:18:57Oh my god.
01:18:58Us?
01:18:59You've gone crazy and you're out of here.
01:19:02Chloe, kidnapping is a very serious offense.
01:19:06They're going to lock you up for years.
01:19:09You think I care about jail time?
01:19:12All I care about is tearing you two apart.
01:19:14You don't deserve him.
01:19:16What you've done, you've destroyed my life, my company, everything.
01:19:22Now I'm going to destroy your life.
01:19:25Give me the family ring now.
01:19:28Give it to me!
01:19:29This is about the ring.
01:19:31Did my Uncle Ian put you up to this?
01:19:35You know, Chloe, trying to kill me, that's foolish.
01:19:41That's foolish.
01:19:42Because who do you think is going to win?
01:19:44You, that little knife, or me, with something a little bit more persuasive.
01:19:56No.
01:19:57Ah!
01:19:58Freeze!
01:19:59Don't move anyone.
01:20:03Don't move!
01:20:08You're about to be arrested for kidnapping.
01:20:10Miss Lewis.
01:20:11Having fun without me.
01:20:13I'm hurt.
01:20:15Brian.
01:20:16Are you hurt?
01:20:18No, I'm okay.
01:20:20I'm okay.
01:20:22Tell me, Chloe.
01:20:25Who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:20:27Why should I tell you?
01:20:29You're going to kill me anyway.
01:20:32Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:20:34But if you don't talk,
01:20:37your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:20:42Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lois.
01:20:43So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:20:47Talk, or face the consequences.
01:20:50Fine.
01:20:51It was Ian Lois.
01:20:53He said he'd help Duke Industries
01:20:55if I kept you away from the bank room today.
01:20:59Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:21:01I'm recording everything, Miss Lois.
01:21:06Oh, every word, Miss Lois.
01:21:08Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:21:13This is crazy.
01:21:22Are we really sure we can do this?
01:21:23All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:21:26Absolutely.
01:21:27The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:21:29We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:21:31Exactly.
01:21:32We just need to make sure we make a good impression
01:21:34on the new heir.
01:21:36There's Ian Lewis now.
01:21:38You can introduce us.
01:21:39Let's go.
01:21:39Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:21:43I'm Amber Smith.
01:21:44We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:21:46This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:21:48How do you do?
01:21:49We're the company that...
01:21:50Yes, I know who you are.
01:21:52Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed
01:21:53Laura's little drama.
01:21:56Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:21:57Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:22:04Could I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:22:08The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:22:11Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:22:15A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:22:18Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group,
01:22:22Miss Laura Lewis.
01:22:24Look, everybody, attention.
01:22:26Attention, please.
01:22:29There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:22:34I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago
01:22:37that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:22:41And tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:22:44She has not survived.
01:22:48What?
01:22:49Laura Lewis is dead?
01:22:51It doesn't matter now.
01:22:53She's gone.
01:22:53Mr. Lewis, is this new-
01:22:55A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:22:58But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue
01:23:00under my competent leadership.
01:23:04Hold on.
01:23:05Who said that I'm dead?
01:23:09Laura.
01:23:14I don't understand.
01:23:15What's happening?
01:23:18Laura?
01:23:19But weren't you-
01:23:20My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:23:24There seems to be some misunderstanding.
01:23:27Laura, what are you doing here?
01:23:29You've got to stop this.
01:23:30If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:23:32I'll say this once.
01:23:34Back off, Ben.
01:23:34What?
01:23:35What?
01:23:35What?
01:23:40Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:23:42As I'm sure you know,
01:23:44tonight,
01:23:45I officially reclaim my title
01:23:49as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:23:52Perhaps you could make some room for me, Uncle Ian.
01:23:59Impossible.
01:24:00How are you still alive?
01:24:01Well, clearly I am alive and well,
01:24:04so why don't we get this started?
01:24:06No.
01:24:07You're not the rightful heir.
01:24:09You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:24:13Uncle Ian, is that seriously your argument?
01:24:15The best that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:24:18Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago
01:24:21and married a stranger
01:24:22and left me to work tirelessly,
01:24:25keeping the company together.
01:24:26Uncle Ian, retire.
01:24:29Enjoy your retirement.
01:24:31Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:24:33No.
01:24:34There can only be one heir,
01:24:37and that's me.
01:24:38And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:24:42You think a ring makes an heir?
01:24:45You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:24:49Give that back to me.
01:24:51This.
01:24:52Yes.
01:24:53You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:24:57Give it back.
01:24:59True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you,
01:25:05not some stupid ring.
01:25:08My ring?
01:25:09What have you done?
01:25:10Where is it?
01:25:13My ring?
01:25:14No.
01:25:15Now, everyone,
01:25:17if I could have your attention.
01:25:18How dare you?
01:25:20Let me show you how a true heir
01:25:22earns a ring like that.
01:25:27Talk or face the consequences.
01:25:29Fine.
01:25:30It was Ian Lewis.
01:25:32He said he helped you in distress
01:25:34if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:25:39Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr. Lewis.
01:25:42Security, escort him out.
01:25:45And Ian, don't fall over.
01:25:47It's all lies.
01:25:48It's all lies.
01:25:49Fakery.
01:25:50It's fake news.
01:25:50The proof is clear.
01:25:51Get him out of here.
01:25:52Now.
01:25:52I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:26:01Turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:26:06Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr. Shepherd by my side.
01:26:14And he has been a great support.
01:26:18Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:26:23I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:26:32Shepherd Group.
01:26:33What?
01:26:34Laura, hold on.
01:26:35This was never my idea.
01:26:38This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:26:39I don't want a divorce.
01:26:41What?
01:26:41Then what are you saying?
01:26:43You came to me first.
01:26:44Classic Ben.
01:26:46Something goes wrong and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:26:50Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:26:52Just give me another chance.
01:26:54How could I shut you out?
01:26:56I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:26:58I'm just a useless housewife.
01:27:01I don't have that power.
01:27:04What are you talking about?
01:27:05What?
01:27:05No, come on.
01:27:06Sorry.
01:27:06No, please.
01:27:07No.
01:27:09Um, Mr. Shepherd?
01:27:11Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:27:13I was wondering if...
01:27:16Maybe you wanted to grab dinner.
01:27:19Sometime.
01:27:21On me.
01:27:22Miss Lewis?
01:27:27I would love to.
