00:02:41up andrew don't be silly you know we were gonna get back together eventually
00:02:49you can't resist me
00:02:51why are we on my phone oh a stupid scammer call don't worry they'll never bother you again
00:02:59eric bless his heart is still developing the ability to decode words by sounding them out
00:03:15and also how many children develop at different speeds
00:03:17that is true grace but it's been suggested that eric has a learning disability
00:03:22eric likely needs specialized support and pending the official evaluation if he doesn't get the support he needs he may likely be removed from the school
00:03:33removed from the school. But he'd lose all his friends. He'd be devastated. I pray the evaluation
00:03:40will show that Eric can get back on track, but just in case, here is a tutor that I highly recommend.
00:03:50Um, I mean, yes, her credentials are very impressive, but with the testing fees and
00:03:58tutoring, this is over $3,000 a month. It's what's best for Eric. I'll figure it out.
00:04:21Executive Secretary.
00:04:28I'm in.
00:04:40Andrew. Andrew.
00:04:45Mr. Carrington. Mr. Carrington. Yes, sorry.
00:04:51And you are? Grace Myers.
00:04:58This resume is thin.
00:05:04I know. Um, I stepped out of the workforce for a few years.
00:05:10Seven years, according to this.
00:05:12Yes.
00:05:14Sorry, I don't think you're qualified for this position.
00:05:16Maybe not on paper, but I can do this job. I learn fast, and I don't quit.
00:05:21This position is vacant, because I don't tolerate failure, especially now.
00:05:27Why especially now?
00:05:29Well, Myers, I've been the CEO for one year. Half of the board, spitting on my downfall,
00:05:36the other half, wants my job. So I need someone that I can trust, someone that doesn't make
00:05:40mistakes, if I'm going to be the head of this company.
00:05:42Okay. And that's exactly why you need me.
00:05:47Are you married?
00:05:49No.
00:05:50Do you have any children?
00:05:52Um, no.
00:05:55Good. Family's interfere with business.
00:05:59Take your position. You're hired.
00:06:01Oh, uh, I need to...
00:06:03If you want the position, it starts now.
00:06:06Yes, sir.
00:06:06This file contains your passwords and instructions for the corporate phone system and computer
00:06:13access. I need every voicemail from the last 72 hours transcribed, summarized, and ranked
00:06:19by urgency.
00:06:20How do I access them?
00:06:22Do not get in the habit of interrupting me, Ms. Myers.
00:06:27These names are priority. These are our top clients, our lead shareholders. Schedule them
00:06:32first, today or tomorrow. The rest could just be rescheduled to next week.
00:06:36Come on.
00:06:37Understood.
00:06:38I don't have time for mistakes, Ms. Myers. We're swift, precision.
00:06:44You'll have it by lunch.
00:06:46Yeah. We'll see.
00:06:47Soon we'll meet my light. Everything will be okay. I promise.
00:07:09She's losing blood quickly. We need to operate. Sedate her.
00:07:30No, please. No, guys. I don't want to be unconscious.
00:07:33I hear you, but your body's in shock. If we don't act, we could lose the baby. Or you.
00:07:40Just tell me it's going to be okay. Tell me my baby will be okay.
00:07:44We're going to do everything that we can. You need to trust me.
00:07:48We have you, Grace. Just breathe. You're almost there.
00:07:59You're almost there.
00:08:18Eric. What are you doing here, sweetie?
00:08:26My name's Leo.
00:08:29What the hell are you doing?
00:08:35Dad!
00:08:36Hey, big guy.
00:08:38What have you been eating?
00:08:39Rim eyes!
00:08:40Hmm. You were twice as strong as you were last week.
00:08:44Leo, what did I tell you about running ahead? Let's go now.
00:08:47Mom, do I have to?
00:08:50Mom.
00:08:52Right this instant.
00:08:57It's okay, Mara. I could have just walked him over.
00:08:59If you miss your son so much, hurry up with the divorce settlement.
00:09:02If my schedule's not on my desk by the time I get back, you're fired.
00:09:15Leo.
00:09:17My stolen son.
00:09:24He's perfect.
00:09:26What a precious little boy.
00:09:29His name is Eric.
00:09:30Eric.
00:09:32Where's his brother?
00:09:36I don't understand.
00:09:38It was just the one child.
00:09:40One child?
00:09:42No.
00:09:44No.
00:09:46There were two. I had twins.
00:09:49No, Grace.
00:09:49You were heavily sedated.
00:09:51It was a very difficult labor.
00:09:54You were probably just seeing double.
00:09:56Everything's going to be okay.
00:09:58No.
00:09:59No, I know what I saw.
00:10:00Oh, I had two.
00:10:03Grace.
00:10:04What happened at the time?
00:10:04What happened at the time?
00:10:05What happened at the time?
00:10:06Where is he?
00:10:06Calm down.
00:10:07You're confused.
00:10:08Don't tell me.
00:10:10Don't tell me I'm confused.
00:10:12I'm not confused.
00:10:13I had two.
00:10:14Grace.
00:10:15Please calm down.
00:10:16Where is he?
00:10:18Can you give him to me?
00:10:19Give my son to me.
00:10:22Miss Myers, you're becoming agitated?
00:10:25No, no.
00:10:27Stop lying to me, doctor.
00:10:30Where is my other son?
00:10:32You are in no condition.
00:10:35Don't tell me what condition I'm in.
00:10:38Wait, please.
00:10:48Please.
00:10:50Where's my son?
00:10:51Please give me my son.
00:10:53Please.
00:10:54Where's my baby?
00:10:55Please.
00:10:56Please.
00:10:59See?
00:11:00He gets volatile and all that stress.
00:11:03Your Honor, the only way that Andrew could ever have enough time for his child is if he worked less.
00:11:09And it stands to reason that Mrs. Carrington, who has been by Mr. Carrington's side throughout the entire tenure of his career,
00:11:16should be granted the request of half of his business assets in addition to other items listed.
00:11:21This is insane.
00:11:23See?
00:11:24Always choosing business over his own child.
00:11:28I will give you time to go over the terms.
00:11:31You're not getting half of my company.
00:11:34I advise you to examine this document thoroughly.
00:11:38It's common for the mother to gain full custody of the children.
00:11:51Myers, get in here!
00:11:54Schedule's not on my desk.
00:11:56You're fired.
00:11:57Mr. Caldwell is here for his 1115 meeting.
00:12:01My 1115 meeting?
00:12:03You told me to schedule priority clients for today and tomorrow.
00:12:06Yeah, well, I also told you if the schedule wasn't on my desk, you were going to be fired.
00:12:10It's in your end file.
00:12:18Right this way, Mr. Caldwell.
00:12:21Myers, good job.
00:12:23So the little chipmunk left all alone through the woods until he came to a wishing well.
00:12:32Am I going to have to leave my school?
00:12:34No, baby.
00:12:36Not even close.
00:12:37I got the job today.
00:12:38So we're okay?
00:12:40We are more than okay.
00:12:42Everything is going to be perfect.
00:12:43What if I'm too stupid to fix things?
00:12:50Eric...
00:12:50Honey, you're not stupid.
00:12:54You're brilliant.
00:12:56Your mind just works differently from other kids.
00:12:58And we just need to find the right teacher for you.
00:13:01One that can help you learn the way that you were meant to.
00:13:05Maybe while you're at work, Grandpa can babysit me.
00:13:09No, sweetie.
00:13:11Grandpa passed away, remember?
00:13:13Like Dad?
00:13:15Your dad isn't gone, sweetheart.
00:13:17He's alive.
00:13:19Will I ever get to see him?
00:13:21We'll see.
00:13:23Let's get you to bed, okay?
00:13:27I love you.
00:13:29I hope I see Dad soon.
00:13:31As shown in your projections through our steam line operations within our Asia Pacific holdings,
00:13:40this means a 14% margin increase.
00:13:43While it won't be overnight, this is projected for the first 12 months,
00:13:47so a year of sustainable growth.
00:13:51Dad.
00:13:52Don't let me interrupt.
00:13:54You're doing great.
00:13:55Yeah, I'll get with you in a minute.
00:13:56This is actually for board members only.
00:13:58I think there's some pastries out at reception.
00:14:01I've recently come out of retirement and reacquired 20% of Carrington Holdings.
00:14:07Why would you do that?
00:14:08I'm not cut out for retirement, Andrew.
00:14:10It's too easy.
00:14:11But I'm not here to interfere.
00:14:13I'm just here to help and guide,
00:14:16be a mentor to you during those challenging times.
00:14:20Yeah, well, everything's fine.
00:14:21I got it handled.
00:14:22Mr. Caldwell, I'm actually with the board right now.
00:14:29Yep, I can put you on speaker.
00:14:31Well, you're pulling out?
00:14:33Well, we'd agreed on it.
00:14:37That was Mr. Caldwell.
00:14:39He's backing out of our agreement from yesterday.
00:14:41No one blames you, Andrew.
00:14:45You're distracted.
00:14:47What, with the divorce arbitration
00:14:49and the pressure of being a new CEO?
00:14:53You know, Caldwell and I go way back.
00:14:57Let me take a shot at it.
00:14:58Maybe I can smooth this over.
00:15:00I'm just here to help, son.
00:15:01It doesn't make any sense.
00:15:12Caldwell was all in yesterday.
00:15:14Oh, well, thanks for sharing
00:15:16your extensive business knowledge with me.
00:15:18I was just saying...
00:15:19Yeah, well, you don't know how this works.
00:15:21You've been here, what, six days?
00:15:23Never led a team?
00:15:24You never closed a deal?
00:15:26You're just a glorified note-taker, okay?
00:15:27So?
00:15:28That may be true,
00:15:29but I do know people, Mr. Carrington.
00:15:33Caldwell was excited.
00:15:34He called three times
00:15:35and he asked for the morning slot
00:15:37in person.
00:15:38I mean, he wasn't backing out yesterday.
00:15:40He needed that deal.
00:15:42Something...
00:15:43something changed.
00:15:58Are you okay?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:02Deja vu or something.
00:16:04What was it?
00:16:06You just...
00:16:07seem familiar.
00:16:11Maybe you dream.
00:16:13Have we met before?
00:16:16Just feels like I know you.
00:16:22It's a shame
00:16:22that you're still married.
00:16:27Watch yourself, Grace.
00:16:29That'll be all.
00:16:30That'll be all.
00:16:30And see you guys.
00:16:34Are you happy about it?
00:16:36That's right.
00:16:36You want to find me out?
00:16:37No.
00:16:38Leave.
00:16:38No.
00:16:39No.
00:16:40Oh, my God.
00:17:10Oh, my God.
00:17:40Oh, my God.
00:18:10My dad says that's a good thing, but Mara says I'm annoying.
00:18:14There's nothing wrong with asking questions.
00:18:17Not ever.
00:18:19There isn't?
00:18:20No.
00:18:21Questions are good, but sometimes people don't like questions because they don't like the answers.
00:18:32You talk like the books I like.
00:18:36You smell like a strawberry.
00:18:41You got a little fuzzy right there.
00:18:45Here.
00:18:45You can have it.
00:18:48I'll treasure it.
00:18:58You're late.
00:19:00So are you.
00:19:01Bosses can't be late.
00:19:03Okay, but I'm only slightly late.
00:19:06You're forgiven.
00:19:06Is there someone in my office?
00:19:16This is my office.
00:19:18Just keeping the seat warm for you.
00:19:20Plus, I've got some good news.
00:19:22Caldwell reconsidered the deal.
00:19:24What?
00:19:24How?
00:19:25I told you.
00:19:26We go way back.
00:19:28I renegotiated and smoothed things over.
00:19:32You're welcome.
00:19:33Well, that wasn't your place.
00:19:36You're right.
00:19:37Maybe you should take that brunch meeting with Caldwell instead.
00:19:40Sign those papers personally.
00:19:42Show them who's really in charge.
00:19:44You're being nice.
00:19:46You're never nice.
00:19:48You're my son.
00:19:49And I believe in you.
00:19:51And in money.
00:19:59Phase two initiated.
00:20:13Eric?
00:20:15Eric, are you okay?
00:20:16What's wrong?
00:20:18Tommy.
00:20:19It's okay, baby.
00:20:20Mommy's here.
00:20:21Mommy's here.
00:20:22Took the chalk and drew beautiful pictures all over the unfinished walls.
00:20:32Did you just read that by yourself?
00:20:34Miss Jasper helped a little, but yeah, I did it.
00:20:38That's so good.
00:20:39I'm so proud of you.
00:20:41So can you come home now?
00:20:42You don't have to be mad anymore.
00:20:46Oh, honey, I'm not mad.
00:20:48I could never be mad at you.
00:20:50But that's why you left.
00:20:51Because I messed up at school?
00:20:54No.
00:20:56No.
00:20:57Okay?
00:20:57Mommy took this job because she's trying to build the type of life that you deserve.
00:21:02Honey, I love you more than anything in this world.
00:21:06I'm doing this for you.
00:21:08Okay.
00:21:09Since I've read so good, can we have pizza for dinner?
00:21:12We'll see when I get home.
00:21:17How about you read for me again?
00:21:21You.
00:21:25Baby, Mommy has to go.
00:21:27I love you.
00:21:29Can I help you?
00:21:31How did you...
00:21:31You...
00:21:32You don't...
00:21:38I'm here to see Andrew.
00:21:43He's out on a brunch meeting.
00:21:45Oh, so he missed his visitation slot with Leo?
00:21:48Uh, I don't know.
00:21:52I'm only aware of his business schedule.
00:21:56Not a very good assistant, are you?
00:21:59Would you like to leave a message?
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:03Tell him that his soon-to-be ex-wife dropped by.
00:22:07Actually, never mind.
00:22:12I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna call my lawyer and I'll let her know that he missed his parenting time with Leo.
00:22:18Hello.
00:22:28Miss Myers, I told you...
00:22:30Your wife just showed up, okay?
00:22:32You have scheduled time with Leo right now.
00:22:34She's calling her lawyer.
00:22:36Shit.
00:22:37No, no, the Caldwell thing can't wait.
00:22:39You have to decide what's more important.
00:22:41Your job.
00:22:42Or your child.
00:22:43Leo, Leo, of course.
00:22:47Always Leo.
00:22:49But if I lose this Caldwell thing, I'll lose my job.
00:22:53The board already wants my head.
00:22:54Get back to your son.
00:22:56I'll handle Caldwell.
00:22:57I know.
00:22:57He's just not gonna reschedule again.
00:23:00I've got it.
00:23:00I'll take the meeting.
00:23:02Okay.
00:23:03Do not let him leave without signing.
00:23:06You can count on me, Mr. Carrington.
00:23:11He missed the visitation window.
00:23:14This is the final straw.
00:23:16You're my lawyer.
00:23:17I want full custody, and I want it in writing by tomorrow afternoon.
00:23:26I turned your frown upside down.
00:23:29We still have ten minutes, so you should go.
00:23:33Forget it.
00:23:37Is it my fault you and Mommy don't live together anymore?
00:23:41No.
00:23:41No, no, absolutely not.
00:23:43Well, then why do you guys argue all the time?
00:23:47Well, Mommy and I just have some trouble understanding each other.
00:23:51But we always have.
00:23:52I promise that has nothing to do with you.
00:23:56Mara yells at me a lot.
00:23:58How come she doesn't like me?
00:24:00No, buddy.
00:24:00She loves you.
00:24:02Just in her own way.
00:24:04Even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it.
00:24:06But what if she wins the divorce and I don't see you anymore?
00:24:09Hey, look at me.
00:24:12I'm not going anywhere, Leo.
00:24:14You and I are always going to be together.
00:24:16Promise?
00:24:18Promise.
00:24:18Mr. Caldwell.
00:24:29A pleasure.
00:24:31So Andrew sends his secretary now?
00:24:34I was promoted to junior executive.
00:24:40Effective this morning.
00:24:42Well, this brunch was scheduled with the CEO.
00:24:45I cleared my whole morning for this.
00:24:47Your meeting was with Andrew Carrington.
00:24:50And he's had some matters arise, hence he's entrusted me as proxy.
00:24:54Well, I don't do deals with middlemen.
00:24:57It's just brunch, Mr. Caldwell.
00:24:59Merely a courtesy while within my capacity.
00:25:03Well, seemingly not important enough for Mr. Carrington to show up himself.
00:25:07Or send a real executive.
00:25:10Mr. Caldwell.
00:25:11What?
00:25:11I'm real enough to understand you don't have any serious interest in continuing business with us.
00:25:19Good day.
00:25:20Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:22Let's not be hasty.
00:25:24No.
00:25:25I don't see any reasons to continue subjecting myself to your rude behavior.
00:25:29Listen, I didn't mean anything by...
00:25:32Let's...
00:25:33Let's discuss this.
00:25:36Have a seat.
00:25:39No.
00:25:41Let's talk numbers.
00:25:47I'll see you later, bud.
00:25:48You know, she's charming.
00:25:50Who?
00:25:51Your new secretary or assistant or whatever she is.
00:25:56She said you were at a brunch meeting.
00:25:58Oh, yeah, Grace.
00:26:00She was just hired.
00:26:01You know, she doesn't seem particularly qualified.
00:26:05Do you owe her a favor or something?
00:26:08She applied.
00:26:09HR approved her.
00:26:10Why?
00:26:18No reason.
00:26:20Just be careful.
00:26:21She's harmless.
00:26:23Perhaps.
00:26:25But I know the way you look at someone when you think no one's watching.
00:26:29What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:31Nothing.
00:26:32There's nothing going on.
00:26:35Just make sure this new secretary doesn't become a liability.
00:26:39Things are hard on the OS's.
00:26:41Caldwell didn't sign the agreement.
00:26:52You told me you could handle it.
00:26:54Caldwell didn't sign the original agreement.
00:26:56You signed an even better one.
00:26:59What?
00:27:07This is incredible.
00:27:10I mean, you protect our margins and the 12-month extension.
00:27:14How did you do this?
00:27:15I used your negotiation method from the Linwood acquisition.
00:27:19You've been studying my deals?
00:27:21I wanted to be prepared.
00:27:23Well, we'll need to prep the new contract packet for legal.
00:27:26The long night ahead of us.
00:27:33Well, I can't believe we finished this in one night.
00:27:35Not bad for a secretary.
00:27:38Uh, about that, I may have told Caldwell I was a junior executive.
00:27:44You what?
00:27:44Like, you wouldn't meet with me otherwise.
00:27:46I don't want to make a liar of me now.
00:27:49Well, that's incredibly helpful and ambitious from someone so underqualified.
00:27:53I got the job done.
00:27:54I guess it shows how worthless those qualifications are.
00:27:57Yeah, well, those qualifications are a requirement for the job you want, so.
00:28:02Well, then I guess I just have to go tell Caldwell the truth.
00:28:05Wait.
00:28:09Wait.
00:28:11You're promoted.
00:28:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I...
00:28:16Well, you're a junior executive now.
00:28:19You have a lot more responsibility.
00:28:21You leave when I say you do.
00:28:24But I have to go.
00:28:26Why?
00:28:27You don't have a husband or kids to go home to?
00:28:31You are married.
00:28:33You should go home.
00:28:35It's not a marriage.
00:28:37I go home to 9,000 square feet of solitude.
00:28:39Well, that's a shame.
00:28:42Someone who works as hard as you should have someone to go home to.
00:28:46It's so strange.
00:28:47It's like whenever you're near, everyone else just disappears.
00:28:50We shouldn't.
00:28:54We shouldn't work.
00:28:55We're not doing anything for them.
00:28:59Don't cheat.
00:29:00I don't want you to get in trouble.
00:29:02It's not cheating if we don't kiss or take our clothes off.
00:29:04You don't have the self-control.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Why does it feel like I know exactly how to touch you?
00:29:17Prove it, then.
00:29:23Bitch.
00:29:24Miss Meyers.
00:29:32Mr. Carrington.
00:29:37Incredible work today.
00:29:39Expect no less from your best junior executive.
00:29:46You should go.
00:29:49Did I do something wrong?
00:29:50No.
00:29:51No.
00:29:51But if you don't go, I might.
00:30:11You got a little fuzzy right there.
00:30:15Here.
00:30:16You can have it.
00:30:18I'll treasure it.
00:30:21Hello.
00:30:27Hi.
00:30:28Standard DNA relationship test?
00:30:31Yes.
00:30:32Maternal match.
00:30:34Results typically come in in a couple of hours.
00:30:36How would you like to be notified?
00:30:37Through email or text?
00:30:38Text is fine.
00:30:40Okay.
00:30:41I just...
00:30:42I need to know.
00:30:43Okay.
00:30:43I just...
00:30:44I need to know.
00:30:45Miss Meyers.
00:30:49Miss Meyers.
00:30:50May I see you in my office, please?
00:30:52Okay.
00:30:53Be right there.
00:30:58We've received an anonymous complaint regarding you and Mr. Carrington.
00:31:03A complaint?
00:31:08Inappropriate behavior involving after-hours proximity and unprofessional conduct.
00:31:15If substantiated, it would be a violation of our non-fragilization policy.
00:31:21It's not what you think, Ms. Gordon.
00:31:23Inappropriate behavior to judge, just advice.
00:31:26Your position has already been elevated, and you've come far quickly, which makes you
00:31:32vulnerable to allegations.
00:31:36If you go against corporate policy, your job would be compromised.
00:31:40I'd recommend keeping a professional distance from Mr. Carrington moving forward, just to
00:31:48be on the safe side.
00:31:51Thank you for letting me know.
00:31:56Good morning, Mr. Junior Executive.
00:31:58Care for something hot to drink?
00:32:00Good morning, Mr. Carrington.
00:32:02You have three voicemails and two messages marked urgent from legal.
00:32:06What?
00:32:07It's the tie, right?
00:32:08I knew it.
00:32:09It's the tie.
00:32:09The legal packets are color-coded by priority.
00:32:12There's a clear coming at 10.
00:32:17Right.
00:32:18Must have misread that situation.
00:32:32Talk to me.
00:32:33I just got a call from Myra's attorney.
00:32:35They've received photos, clear ones, of you and your assistant in close contact.
00:32:38Your assistant in close proximity, after hours.
00:32:42You've got to be kidding me.
00:32:43They're arguing infidelity and questionable character.
00:32:46They're trying to avoid the custody agreement, Andrew.
00:32:49This is a set-up.
00:32:50No, she planned this.
00:32:52She planted someone in my office building.
00:32:54The set-up is probably the hot secretary.
00:32:57She could have been part of their plan from the beginning.
00:33:00Ms. Myers, get in here.
00:33:07We're not supposed to.
00:33:10I want to know why you did it.
00:33:12Did what?
00:33:13Why you seduced me, betrayed me, got photos of me on record and sent them to Mara.
00:33:17What did they promise you?
00:33:18Are you serious?
00:33:20You think I set you up?
00:33:21You played me, and it cost me my son!
00:33:24I would never do that.
00:33:25I would never use someone's child as a weapon.
00:33:28Yeah?
00:33:28Then why do they have those photos?
00:33:29I don't know.
00:33:32I can't believe I believed you'd felt something.
00:33:34I didn't fake what I felt in that room.
00:33:36I couldn't.
00:33:37Yeah?
00:33:38And that cheap seduction act?
00:33:39Oh, don't flatter yourself.
00:33:40I didn't have to seduce you.
00:33:42You were already there.
00:33:45You feel what I feel.
00:33:48You know how bad I want you.
00:33:50You're just too scared to admit how bad you want me.
00:33:54Okay.
00:33:56I believe you.
00:33:57I ran in on it with Mara.
00:34:00It doesn't matter.
00:34:01I'm done.
00:34:03We...
00:34:03We didn't even do anything.
00:34:10Send me the photos.
00:34:13Why?
00:34:14Because I told you to.
00:34:23See?
00:34:24We weren't kissing, or even undressed.
00:34:29Is it legally infidelity if we didn't have sex?
00:34:33Technically, no.
00:34:36To my seat at the board?
00:34:37To my company.
00:34:39Back where it belongs.
00:34:40With the photos,
00:34:49the legal threats,
00:34:52they'll crumble.
00:35:01Did his lawyer call?
00:35:02Is that all done?
00:35:03What do you mean he doesn't care about the photos?
00:35:14What do you mean they don't care about the photos?
00:35:16Exactly what I just said!
00:35:18My stupid lawyer says that without proof of sexual liaison,
00:35:21the photos aren't substantial enough to merit infidelity.
00:35:24He called our bluff.
00:35:27Maybe I didn't give enough credit to that son of mine.
00:35:31I guess we'll have to go to plan B.
00:35:34Plan B?
00:35:35The photos won't convince a judge of infidelity.
00:35:38Fine.
00:35:39But we can still leak the photos to the board and create a public scandal.
00:35:43Oh, you are ruthless.
00:35:45But he's your son.
00:35:49All's fair in love and war, my dear.
00:35:52When they see him entangled with the secretary in this prolonged divorce settlement,
00:35:56they'll fear the scandal will go public and create instability.
00:35:59That's when I'll rush to his rescue.
00:36:02And while he's on leave, we'll take over the company.
00:36:05And once we have the company in our control?
00:36:08We can finally be together to power.
00:36:12And those strong enough to take it.
00:36:19Okay, we got you out of hot water for now.
00:36:22But we've got to make sure this sticks.
00:36:24Which means you and Grace can't be alone together ever again.
00:36:38I'll be over my son.
00:37:08I think you're in the wrong room.
00:37:10No, I'm not.
00:37:13We don't have an appointment.
00:37:14Don't act like you don't remember me.
00:37:17I'm not acting anything.
00:37:19Now, if you excuse me...
00:37:20I have proof.
00:37:22DNA test.
00:37:25The child is mine.
00:37:26And I know where he is.
00:37:32Oh, yes.
00:37:35I do remember you now.
00:37:36I know.
00:37:38That poor, confused girl.
00:37:40You were unstable, sedated.
00:37:43The chart...
00:37:43Stop lying.
00:37:45You delivered two babies.
00:37:47You knew and you let them take him.
00:37:51When Andrew Carrington finds help.
00:37:54Ms. Myers.
00:37:55You have no idea how dangerous these people are.
00:37:58I know exactly what's going on.
00:38:01For the first time in seven years.
00:38:03And you're going to tell me everything.
00:38:06Or I'm going straight to the police.
00:38:08They made me do it.
00:38:13They threatened me with malpractice.
00:38:15If I didn't cooperate, they would have ruined me.
00:38:19I'm sorry you lost a child.
00:38:22I didn't lose him.
00:38:23He was stolen.
00:38:25You're tangling with people that can erase lives, Ms. Myers.
00:38:29If you push too far, they won't just keep the one they have.
00:38:33They'll take Eric, too.
00:38:35Let them try.
00:38:37I will save my sons.
00:38:42Both of them.
00:38:42Andrew, I need to talk to you.
00:38:55Alone.
00:38:56What?
00:38:56I can't right now.
00:38:58It's important.
00:39:00If you have something you need to say, you can say to me in public.
00:39:02Or just email it to me.
00:39:06Please.
00:39:08It's important.
00:39:08Okay.
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:17It's an emergency board meeting.
00:39:18Now.
00:39:23Do you care to explain the photos?
00:39:25My lawyer has already addressed this issue.
00:39:27It doesn't require any further consideration.
00:39:29The board does not concur.
00:39:30As long as my private affairs don't interfere with company business.
00:39:35And there's no reason that we have this board meeting.
00:39:37Unfortunately, it has interfered with company business, Andrew.
00:39:41Someone leaked the photos to the press.
00:39:43And with your divorce still pending, the stock price has already taken a hit.
00:39:47Investors are starting to ask questions.
00:39:49Well, who leaked these photos?
00:39:50Does it matter?
00:39:51We have a duty to protect the company's reputation and image.
00:39:55The idea has been suggested that you step down until your divorce settlement is complete.
00:39:59Yeah, that's not happening.
00:40:00Just a short-term sabbatical until we can conduct an internal investigation to quell any doubts.
00:40:07Don't you see, this is a smear tactic.
00:40:09My ex-wife has played every single member of this board.
00:40:12Mr. Carrington, we will take that into consideration.
00:40:16I'm calling a vote.
00:40:17All those in favor of Andrew Carrington being temporarily relieved of his position pending the investigation, say aye.
00:40:27Aye.
00:40:27Aye.
00:40:29It's a tie?
00:40:32I keep my position.
00:40:33I'm sorry, my boy.
00:40:35Dad?
00:40:36No.
00:40:37Effective immediately.
00:40:38The board has voted to suspend your duties as CEO pending the outcome of the investigation.
00:40:43I heard what happened.
00:40:54I'm so sorry.
00:40:57Don't be.
00:40:59It was inevitable.
00:41:00You don't deserve this.
00:41:03It doesn't matter.
00:41:04It's done.
00:41:05I'm sure you'll figure it out.
00:41:07Why are you being so positive about this?
00:41:10They're going to terminate you, too.
00:41:11I don't need you.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15Why?
00:41:16It's for my secretary.
00:41:18If I'm not here, they don't need you.
00:41:20I'm a junior executive.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23Under me.
00:41:26You're tied to the photos.
00:41:27They're doing a full investigation.
00:41:29Okay.
00:41:30No.
00:41:30It's fine.
00:41:32I'll just use the severance pay and find a new job.
00:41:34Severance pay?
00:41:35There's no severance pay.
00:41:37There's no unemployment.
00:41:38It's illegal technicality.
00:41:40We're screwed.
00:41:41I need this job.
00:41:43How can you just sit there and give up?
00:41:45What do you want me to do?
00:41:46I don't have any power anymore.
00:41:48I mean, at least we can be alone together in the same room now.
00:41:58Earlier, you were going to tell me something.
00:42:02Nothing to concern yourself with.
00:42:03I thought you were someone else.
00:42:16Grace, thank you for sitting with me to discuss Eric's progress.
00:42:21I know he's getting behind again, but he's trying.
00:42:25He's doing his best.
00:42:26He's faltering in three core metrics.
00:42:28How is his tutoring going?
00:42:33Good.
00:42:34It's going well.
00:42:36Really?
00:42:37Are you certain?
00:42:41Oh, Grace.
00:42:43I phoned Miss Jasper when Eric started to regress.
00:42:46I thought I could help with something,
00:42:49and she informed me that Eric actually ceased his tutoring.
00:42:54We had to stop, but just temporarily, I lost my job.
00:42:59Yes, I saw the photos in the news.
00:43:03I'm going to get a new job soon,
00:43:06or I'll get my old one back,
00:43:07and we will get Eric back on track.
00:43:09You failed to disclose that Eric was no longer receiving special support,
00:43:15which is a breach of the learning plan agreement.
00:43:18I didn't want to admit that I couldn't afford to help my son.
00:43:23Grace, if it were up to me,
00:43:26I would have the school take responsibility for the resources that Eric needs,
00:43:32but that isn't the case.
00:43:35You leave me no choice but to withdraw his enrollment.
00:43:39Please, please don't punish him for my mistake.
00:43:42He's struggling, Grace.
00:43:44And without the appropriate resources,
00:43:47you're doing him more harm than good.
00:43:49I'm doing everything that I can.
00:43:51I believe that.
00:43:53But this is final.
00:43:54Today is Eric's last day at the school.
00:43:58We've hired an investigator to look into Mr. Carrington.
00:44:06In the meantime,
00:44:07the session has been brought to order
00:44:09to resolve our leadership vacuum.
00:44:11Until the investigation concludes,
00:44:13we need a temporary CEO.
00:44:16Gentlemen,
00:44:18I don't make this offer lightly,
00:44:20but as the former CEO and father to Andrew Carrington,
00:44:23I know this company.
00:44:24I built it up from the brick-and-mortar operation
00:44:27that my father built before me.
00:44:29I have no ambition other than to protect its legacy.
00:44:33But mark my words,
00:44:35continuity is what is needed right now,
00:44:38not lamenting over my son's many failures.
00:44:42So it's with a heavy heart,
00:44:44but a clear mind,
00:44:46that I nominate myself,
00:44:49Victor J. Carrington,
00:44:51for the role of CEO.
00:44:53Victor Carrington has nominated himself
00:44:55for a temporary CEO.
00:44:57Do I have a second?
00:44:58Second.
00:45:00All right.
00:45:01We'll proceed to a vote.
00:45:03Board majority rules,
00:45:04all in favor?
00:45:07Aye.
00:45:09Tie.
00:45:10Careful now.
00:45:12No vote for me.
00:45:13As you said,
00:45:14this isn't a time for sentiment.
00:45:16Since the vote was a tie,
00:45:17we will move on to other nominations.
00:45:19I didn't get to vote yet.
00:45:23I vote Victor Carrington
00:45:25for temporary CEO.
00:45:27The motion passes.
00:45:30Effective immediately,
00:45:31Victor Carrington will serve as interim CEO,
00:45:34pending the conclusion of the current investigation.
00:45:37What are you doing here?
00:45:54I know.
00:45:55It's after hours.
00:45:56I meant to come earlier,
00:45:57but regardless,
00:45:58I'm just here to apologize.
00:45:59For what?
00:46:00Getting me fired,
00:46:01or having HR delay my final paycheck?
00:46:03I didn't authorize.
00:46:04You haven't been paid.
00:46:06I'll have that fixed immediately.
00:46:07I think you don't have that power anymore.
00:46:09I'll find a way.
00:46:10Not soon enough for it to matter,
00:46:11you won't.
00:46:12Here, how much do you need?
00:46:14I don't.
00:46:14I don't want your money.
00:46:16I want the money that I earned.
00:46:17It's just to tide you over.
00:46:18It's still the money you earned.
00:46:19I don't want anything from you.
00:46:21Grace, listen.
00:46:23I didn't just come here to apologize.
00:46:25I had to see you.
00:46:26I can't stop thinking about you.
00:46:29You're always just in my head,
00:46:31like this secret that I forgot,
00:46:32or I don't know,
00:46:33maybe I don't understand it.
00:46:35It just feels like I've known you my whole life.
00:46:40Mom, I need to read you the rest of the book.
00:46:42I thought I told you to stay in your room.
00:46:44Leo?
00:46:44This is my son, Eric.
00:46:52Eric, this is Mommy's friend, Andrew.
00:46:57He's your son?
00:46:59We should talk.
00:47:02You don't remember me,
00:47:04but we met years ago randomly
00:47:08at one of your house parties.
00:47:11I'm sorry.
00:47:12Maybe I should have stayed home.
00:47:15Then we would have never met.
00:47:17Then we never would have met.
00:47:19Oh, my God, Grace.
00:47:21Oh, my God, Grace.
00:47:34I got pregnant.
00:47:37Eric is my son.
00:47:38Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
00:47:39I called and left you a message.
00:47:42Your girlfriend said she'd tell you.
00:47:45Mara?
00:47:47She never told me.
00:47:49She must have deleted the call logs from my phone.
00:47:51But even after you had the baby,
00:47:52I could have helped.
00:47:53Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:54feeling any better, Ms. Myers?
00:48:03I want to see my sons.
00:48:06Both of them.
00:48:08You're still under a 51-50 hold.
00:48:11Until that's lifted and you're no longer a threat
00:48:13to yourself or the child,
00:48:15we cannot legally release him into your care.
00:48:17I'm not a threat.
00:48:19But my children's father is.
00:48:25Andrew Carrington is from a very powerful family.
00:48:28When he finds out what happened here,
00:48:31what you let someone do to me,
00:48:34what you did to me,
00:48:37I promise you,
00:48:41there will be hell to pay.
00:48:44The more likely outcome is this.
00:48:49You claim to the Carrington family that you had twins.
00:48:53They examine the hospital records
00:48:55and they discover no such evidence to support your claim.
00:48:59They do, however, find that there is a real child.
00:49:05That you, the mother, kept a secret from them.
00:49:08We disclose that you have a history
00:49:10of psychiatric instability and violent assault,
00:49:15making it very clear
00:49:17that you were unfit to care for the child.
00:49:22So, they take him from you
00:49:24and you never see him again.
00:49:27Is that what you want?
00:49:29No.
00:49:32I didn't think so.
00:49:35So, here's your two options.
00:49:38You can admit that there was only one child,
00:49:40so I know you're sane,
00:49:42and I will give you your son.
00:49:43Or you can insist on maintaining
00:49:46this ridiculous delusion of twins.
00:49:49And I'll have no choice
00:49:50but to turn the one child that you do have
00:49:53over to the care of the state.
00:49:59Yes, what?
00:50:01Which option?
00:50:07There's only...
00:50:09There's only one child.
00:50:12Eric and Leo are twin brothers.
00:50:26They are our children.
00:50:27There are children.
00:50:27The DNA test proves it.
00:50:36When I first met Leo,
00:50:38I mistook him for Eric
00:50:39the same way you just mistook Eric for Leo.
00:50:42Still, I couldn't be certain without a test.
00:50:45I had to know.
00:50:46Leo and Eric are my boys.
00:50:48Our boys.
00:50:49You're the mother of my children.
00:50:50I promise I'm going to make this right.
00:50:55Andrew, you have to listen to me.
00:50:57Somehow, Mara stole Leo from me.
00:51:01Mara lied to me.
00:51:02She used Leo to force me into that marriage.
00:51:05That's why she was suspicious of us.
00:51:06She knew we had been together.
00:51:09I'm not going to let her get away with this.
00:51:12You have to be careful.
00:51:13If she stole Leo
00:51:15and she's been living this lie for seven years,
00:51:18what else might she be willing to do?
00:51:22Don't worry.
00:51:23I'm going to protect you
00:51:25and the boys.
00:51:27This ends tonight.
00:51:43We're leaving together.
00:51:48Mara, we need to talk.
00:51:52What is she doing here?
00:51:53She's the mother of my children.
00:51:54Your lies are over, Mara.
00:51:56He knows you stole Leo from me.
00:51:57Andrew, no.
00:51:58What are you talking about?
00:52:00Leo and Eric are both mine.
00:52:02I have proof right here.
00:52:06Mara, I need to know the truth.
00:52:08Tell me,
00:52:09are both Leo and Eric,
00:52:11who do they belong to?
00:52:12I told you,
00:52:13they're both mine.
00:52:14Grace has DNA testers
00:52:16all saying they're hers.
00:52:16Yeah, yeah.
00:52:17We both have proof.
00:52:19But I have the birth records.
00:52:21You must have had it forged in the hospital.
00:52:23They're the ones who helped her
00:52:25steal my baby.
00:52:27I wasn't going to say anything.
00:52:30Not ever.
00:52:31Because I knew
00:52:32that if you have found out
00:52:34that one of your sons
00:52:35was stolen at birth,
00:52:36it will break your heart.
00:52:38But as fate will have it,
00:52:41the woman who stole your son
00:52:42has reappeared in our lives.
00:52:46And now she wants to steal Leo.
00:52:49And you too.
00:52:50What are you talking about?
00:52:52I'm not trying to steal anything.
00:52:54Andrew, don't listen to her.
00:52:55She's lying.
00:52:56You're the child thief.
00:52:58We were both in the hospital that night.
00:53:00She was sedated
00:53:03under psychiatric hold
00:53:05after having a post-miscarriage breakdown.
00:53:08That's not true.
00:53:09I had twins.
00:53:12After they released her,
00:53:13she snuck into the hospital nursery
00:53:15and she stole one of the babies.
00:53:17The police looked for months.
00:53:21But she must have left town.
00:53:23Andrew, that's not true.
00:53:26Isn't it?
00:53:28I have proof of her psychiatric records
00:53:31right here.
00:53:35Grace, is this true?
00:53:38Where did you even get this?
00:53:41Andrew, Andrew, please.
00:53:42Grace, is it true?
00:53:44Yes, but I was only in psychiatric holding
00:53:46because she stole my baby.
00:53:48Andrew, you can't possibly believe her.
00:53:50She's insane.
00:53:51Enough!
00:53:52Enough!
00:53:55I'm going to have my doctor
00:53:56come in and test both of you.
00:53:59In this house tonight,
00:54:01no one leaves until I find out
00:54:02who the mother of my children is.
00:54:06This is ridiculous.
00:54:08I'm not going to be held hostage in your house.
00:54:10You're not a hostage.
00:54:12But if you leave
00:54:12before that DNA analyst gets here,
00:54:14I'm going to assume you lied about everything.
00:54:15That doesn't make any sense.
00:54:17It's accountability.
00:54:18Oh.
00:54:19And who's going to hold you accountable
00:54:21for holding two women hostage?
00:54:23I've said what I said.
00:54:25The choice is yours.
00:54:27I'll stay.
00:54:30Fine.
00:54:31I'll stay.
00:54:32But I have to run to the restroom.
00:54:34Unless you want to monitor that, too?
00:54:37Yeah.
00:54:38Hey, it's me.
00:54:55We've got a situation.
00:55:01Tell me everything.
00:55:02Dr. Renner.
00:55:05Thank you for coming.
00:55:06Always happy to assist, Andrew.
00:55:08Everyone,
00:55:09this is Dr. Renner.
00:55:11He's my family physician.
00:55:12I've trusted him my entire life.
00:55:14We'll do a rapid DNA analysis.
00:55:16Buccal swabs.
00:55:18I'll need a sample
00:55:19from the other child later,
00:55:20but for now,
00:55:20we'll compare both mothers' markers
00:55:22to what I have on file for Leo.
00:55:24Let's do it.
00:55:25These tests,
00:55:28they're not always accurate,
00:55:30especially when rushed.
00:55:31Well, they're just as accurate
00:55:32as the slow ones.
00:55:33These are simply more expensive.
00:55:39Thank you
00:55:40for arranging this so quickly, Dad.
00:55:42I'd do anything for you, my boy.
00:55:46I've double-checked the results.
00:55:48Based on genetic markers
00:55:50taken from Leo's medical file,
00:55:52without a doubt,
00:55:53Mara is the biological mother.
00:56:00But that's not possible.
00:56:03I told you so.
00:56:04Are you certain
00:56:04the results are clear?
00:56:07Andrew.
00:56:08Andrew.
00:56:09There must be some kind of mistake.
00:56:11Don't touch me.
00:56:12Please.
00:56:12You manipulated me.
00:56:14You know me.
00:56:15You know I wouldn't do something like this.
00:56:17The only thing that I know
00:56:18is that I'm calling the police.
00:56:23Myers, you're out.
00:56:27What?
00:56:28You need bail.
00:56:37You have some nerve showing up here.
00:56:39I posted your bail.
00:56:41You're free.
00:56:42You are the reason
00:56:43I'm in here in the first place.
00:56:44You let them suspend me,
00:56:47smear me, arrest me,
00:56:48and now...
00:56:49What?
00:56:50You're suddenly my knight in shining armor?
00:56:52I know you're angry,
00:56:54and justifiably.
00:56:56But I had to.
00:56:57You had to?
00:56:58You believed her over me.
00:57:01You sat there
00:57:03with your expensive doctor
00:57:05and your silence,
00:57:06and you let them humiliate me.
00:57:09And now they're going to take my son.
00:57:12If I were you,
00:57:14I would make them
00:57:14put me back in that jail.
00:57:16Because if they take Eric from me,
00:57:18I will kill you.
00:57:24I believe you.
00:57:25And I know Mara was lying.
00:57:28What?
00:57:29I've always known.
00:57:31I remember you.
00:57:32I remember that knight.
00:57:34You're the only thing
00:57:35that makes sense to me.
00:57:37Then how could you be with her?
00:57:40When Mara told me
00:57:43she was having a child,
00:57:44we had a DNA test.
00:57:46And it matched me.
00:57:48Leo was my son,
00:57:49and I don't know,
00:57:51I was scared.
00:57:52I wanted to be the father to him,
00:57:54no matter what I felt about Mara.
00:57:57You hurt me.
00:57:59I know.
00:58:01I don't forgive you.
00:58:03I'm not asking you to forgive me.
00:58:05I just want to give you
00:58:07the chance of justice
00:58:08that you deserve.
00:58:11What good is justice
00:58:12if it makes me hate you?
00:58:14You are the most important thing.
00:58:19But hopefully this makes you
00:58:20hate me less.
00:58:21Eric!
00:58:26How did you get him here?
00:58:27I made sure Eric was safe
00:58:29once I knew Mara was dangerous.
00:58:31No one will ever
00:58:32try to take him away from you.
00:58:35Ever.
00:58:36Mom, are you okay?
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39Hey, Eric.
00:58:43You don't have to be shy.
00:58:44This is Mommy's friend,
00:58:47remember?
00:58:48From the office.
00:58:52You remember how
00:58:53you asked about your dad?
00:58:56This is him.
00:58:58This is...
00:59:00your dad.
00:59:04You look like me.
00:59:07I was just thinking that about you.
00:59:09Do you like comic books?
00:59:11Of course I do.
00:59:11Truth be told,
00:59:13I have a bunch
00:59:14that I need to read
00:59:15and I need help.
00:59:16I'm not very good at that.
00:59:18Okay.
00:59:19We'll put a remedy on that.
00:59:20For now,
00:59:21we can just look at the pictures.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:25Eric, I'm gonna need
00:59:26to borrow your mom
00:59:27for a little bit.
00:59:28Is that okay?
00:59:30We have some
00:59:31business to attend to.
00:59:32Come out.
00:59:41We know you're in here.
00:59:44Mr. Carrington.
00:59:46Ms. Myers.
00:59:47I'm afraid I'm...
00:59:49Leaving town?
00:59:50Yeah,
00:59:50it looks like it.
00:59:51Where are you going, doctor?
00:59:52I have a...
00:59:54a medical retreat.
00:59:56It's a conference
00:59:57for continued education.
00:59:58It's very standard.
00:59:59You forged documents.
01:00:02You manipulated
01:00:03hospital records.
01:00:05You ran DNA tests
01:00:06through private channels
01:00:07that don't even exist.
01:00:09That's felony,
01:00:11fraud,
01:00:12and malpractice.
01:00:14Why?
01:00:15Why did you help Mara?
01:00:17What did she have on you?
01:00:18Don't be so weak.
01:00:27Just do what I say.
01:00:29Mm-hmm.
01:00:31This child,
01:00:32Andrew,
01:00:32will have to marry me.
01:00:37Mara is my daughter.
01:00:40You're Mara's mother?
01:00:41I knew she'd never
01:00:42amount to anything.
01:00:44I wanted her to be
01:00:45a doctor like me,
01:00:46but she's just lazy
01:00:47in most regards,
01:00:49except for being
01:00:50unscrupulous.
01:00:52I can confirm that.
01:00:53When you first came in
01:00:54to confirm your pregnancy
01:00:55and she disclosed
01:00:56who the father was,
01:00:58I called my daughter
01:01:00since she was dating Andrew.
01:01:03We were broken up.
01:01:05Mara was furious,
01:01:07but then when she found out
01:01:08you were having twins,
01:01:09she devised this plot
01:01:11to steal one of them
01:01:12and to trick Andrew.
01:01:14That's why she said
01:01:15she was going on vacation,
01:01:16so I wouldn't see
01:01:18she wasn't actually pregnant.
01:01:21I survived your deceit
01:01:23and your vile cruelty.
01:01:26And now you're going to
01:01:27have to answer for it
01:01:28about the originals.
01:01:31We've got all we need.
01:01:33Destroying me
01:01:33isn't going to change anything.
01:01:35Yes, it will.
01:01:37You'll never have the chance
01:01:38to hurt anyone
01:01:39ever again.
01:01:40Your Honor,
01:01:43we're mending our demands
01:01:44in the light of new actions
01:01:45perpetrated by Mr. Carrington.
01:01:48In addition to full custody
01:01:49of Leo Carrington,
01:01:50we're appealing for an expansion
01:01:52of asset division.
01:01:54On what grounds?
01:01:55My husband held me hostage.
01:01:56He locked me in the house
01:01:58for hours with an unhinged
01:01:59and documented psychopath.
01:02:01And now with my...
01:02:04Sorry.
01:02:06My second child
01:02:07still missing.
01:02:11All the emotional trauma,
01:02:13all the abuse,
01:02:14I want compensation
01:02:15and support for both boys
01:02:17and full custody.
01:02:19With respect, Your Honor,
01:02:20may I respond?
01:02:22Proceed.
01:02:23Everything she just said
01:02:24was a lie.
01:02:25I never held her hostage
01:02:26and I never prevented her
01:02:27from leaving my house.
01:02:29He threatened to take away
01:02:30my child if I left,
01:02:31Your Honor.
01:02:32Your child?
01:02:34Of course.
01:02:35Leo is my child
01:02:36and so is the other
01:02:38little angel.
01:02:42Your Honor,
01:02:43I have the original
01:02:44medical files from the hospital,
01:02:46signed affidavits,
01:02:47and a court-certified DNA test
01:02:49proving I am the biological mother
01:02:52of both children.
01:02:54Is this documentation
01:02:55before the court?
01:02:56Yes, Your Honor,
01:02:57this morning.
01:02:59Mrs. Carrington,
01:03:00do you have any explanation
01:03:02for this?
01:03:04Forged medical files,
01:03:05fraudulent DNA tests?
01:03:08Mrs. Carrington,
01:03:09you are being charged
01:03:09with perjury,
01:03:11blackmail,
01:03:12document forgery,
01:03:13and kidnapping.
01:03:15You will face
01:03:15a separate criminal trial.
01:03:17This divorce settlement
01:03:18is dismissed
01:03:19pending complete annulment.
01:03:20This court is adjourned.
01:03:21No, I...
01:03:22You can't do this to me.
01:03:24Bailiff.
01:03:25No!
01:03:26Take Mrs. Carrington
01:03:28into custody.
01:03:30The second child?
01:03:32Perfectly safe
01:03:33and with his real family.
01:03:35As many of you know,
01:03:37my son's recent personal scandals
01:03:40have greatly compromised
01:03:42this company's image.
01:03:44The ongoing suspension,
01:03:46the internal ethics investigation,
01:03:48and the instability
01:03:49following his divorce.
01:03:51I think it's time we move
01:03:52to secure long-term
01:03:54executive leadership.
01:03:56Therefore,
01:03:56I formally propose a vote
01:03:58to instate myself,
01:04:01Victor J. Carrington,
01:04:02as the permanent CEO
01:04:04of Carrington Holdings.
01:04:08Andrew,
01:04:09you're not supposed to be here.
01:04:10You're still under...
01:04:11Suspension?
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:13Not anymore.
01:04:13My divorce settlement
01:04:15was finalized this morning.
01:04:16I retain all personal
01:04:19and financial stake
01:04:20in Carrington Holdings.
01:04:22The ethics committee
01:04:23is still reviewing your...
01:04:24No,
01:04:24they're not.
01:04:25All internal investigations
01:04:26have been formally dismissed
01:04:27by the legal department.
01:04:28Grace Myers is the biological mother
01:04:31of both of my children.
01:04:33She's not a scandal.
01:04:35She's not a subordinate.
01:04:36She's my family.
01:04:39And any further challenges
01:04:40to my leadership
01:04:40will be met
01:04:41with a full legal retaliation
01:04:44for both defamation
01:04:45and conspiracy.
01:04:48My boy.
01:04:49I'm so proud of you.
01:04:52I underestimated you,
01:04:54truly.
01:04:55You handled this brilliantly.
01:04:57Yeah, save it.
01:04:58What?
01:04:59Everyone?
01:05:02This is Dr. Renner.
01:05:04He's the one
01:05:05who falsely claimed
01:05:06that Mara
01:05:06was the mother of Leo.
01:05:09Dr. Renner
01:05:09has something
01:05:10he'd like to share.
01:05:11The results were falsified.
01:05:13I was instructed
01:05:14by Victor Carrington
01:05:16to produce an outcome
01:05:17that would ensure
01:05:18Andrew's downfall
01:05:19so that Victor
01:05:20could take control
01:05:21of the company.
01:05:22I altered
01:05:23the maternal markers
01:05:25and I deeply regret
01:05:28what I have done.
01:05:28These are photographs
01:05:34taken over the course
01:05:35of several months.
01:05:36They show Victor
01:05:37and Mara
01:05:38meeting in private,
01:05:40traveling together,
01:05:41and exchanging documents.
01:05:44They were colluding.
01:05:46Victor backed Mara's
01:05:47custody claims,
01:05:48staged scandals,
01:05:49and undermined Andrew
01:05:50to retake control
01:05:52of this company.
01:05:53Based on the testimony
01:05:55and visual evidence,
01:05:57I am placing
01:05:58Victor Carrington
01:05:59on immediate suspension
01:06:00from the board
01:06:01pending further
01:06:02legal investigation.
01:06:04You are to have
01:06:05no further access
01:06:06to company files,
01:06:07assets,
01:06:08or personnel.
01:06:08I'll see you in court,
01:06:10old man.
01:06:11Mr. Carrington,
01:06:13you're reinstated.
01:06:15Effective immediately.
01:06:17Congratulations, CEO.
01:06:18Eric's progress
01:06:25has been nothing
01:06:26short of remarkable.
01:06:28You just need a little push.
01:06:30We were thinking
01:06:31the same thing.
01:06:32I thought with
01:06:33a little structure,
01:06:35a reading specialist,
01:06:37and the right support,
01:06:38he would be able
01:06:40to keep up with
01:06:40the students in his class.
01:06:42But that isn't the case?
01:06:46No.
01:06:47With the right support,
01:06:49Eric is now
01:06:50at the top of his class.
01:06:52That is,
01:06:53that is so wonderful.
01:06:55I'm so grateful
01:06:56that you allowed Eric
01:06:57to rejoin the class.
01:06:58It's what I've been wanting
01:07:00the whole time.
01:07:01It's clear
01:07:02this is where Eric belongs.
01:07:09Good news?
01:07:10She said he's doing great.
01:07:13Better than expected.
01:07:15How did you get the school
01:07:16to take him back
01:07:16so effortlessly?
01:07:18Uh,
01:07:18I mean,
01:07:19like I told you,
01:07:20a little endowment
01:07:21goes a long way.
01:07:24You didn't have to do that.
01:07:25I know.
01:07:26Miss Williams
01:07:27would have taken him back
01:07:28based on those
01:07:28improvements alone.
01:07:30But I wanted to donate.
01:07:32There will be
01:07:32other kids like Eric
01:07:34who just need a little help.
01:07:36And they deserve it.
01:07:38You nervous?
01:07:40I love it all.
01:07:43I mean,
01:07:43it's a,
01:07:44it's a big day.
01:07:46It's a new beginning
01:07:47for us.
01:07:48It's gonna be great.
01:07:50And there he goes.
01:07:57Leo!
01:07:58Eric!
01:07:59This still feels surreal.
01:08:03They knew instantly.
01:08:04It's when.
01:08:05Are you sure
01:08:06about us
01:08:07living together
01:08:08and
01:08:09all four of us?
01:08:12I've never been more sure
01:08:13of anything
01:08:14in my entire life.
01:08:22Andrew!
01:08:22I feel like I missed
01:08:24the entire first part.
01:08:25But now's our chance
01:08:27to have it all back.
01:08:29I don't want to miss
01:08:30another second of life
01:08:31without you and Eric,
01:08:32can I?
01:08:33So, Grace Myers,
01:08:34will you marry me?
01:08:36Yes!
01:08:37Absolutely yes!
01:08:45Oh,
01:08:46one more thing.
01:08:47There's a position
01:08:48open at my company.
01:08:50If you want it,
01:08:51executive level,
01:08:53higher pay,
01:08:54flexible hours.
01:08:55We have more money
01:08:57than we could
01:08:58ever spend.
01:09:01We two boys
01:09:02are together.
01:09:04And I have
01:09:05the man of my dreams.
01:09:08I have everything
01:09:09I could ever want.
01:09:10And more.
01:09:13But I still
01:09:14might take that job
01:09:15just to keep you
01:09:16on your toes.
01:09:17Whatever you say,
01:09:18Mrs. Carrington.
01:09:18No.
01:09:25I feel like you do.
01:09:27And no one
01:09:28sets my body on fire.
01:09:32And no one
01:09:33gives me shit like you.
01:09:38Oh,
01:09:39no one does it,
01:09:41baby.
01:09:44Oh,
01:09:44no one does it,
01:09:46baby.
01:09:46Oh,
01:09:47no one does it,
01:09:48baby.
