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

00:10:59see he 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
00:11:09in his stance 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
00:11:29i will give you time to go over the terms
00:11:32you'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
00:11:42myers get in here
00:11:54schedule is not on my desk you're fired
00:11:57mr caldwell is here for his 11 15 meeting

00:13:35as shown in your projections through our steamline operations within our pacific holdings this means
00:13:41a 14 percent margin increase while it won't be overnight this is projected for the first 12
00:13:46months so a year of sustainable growth
00:13:51dad don't let me interrupt you're doing great yeah i'll get with you in a minute this is actually
00:13:57for board members only i think there's some pastries out at reception i've recently come out
00:14:02of retirement and reacquired 20 percent of carrington holdings why would you do that i'm not

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

01:09:10I could ever
01:09:10want.

01:09:14But I still
01:09:15might take that
01:09:16job just to keep
01:09:17you on your toes.
01:09:18Whatever you say,
01:09:19Mrs. Carrington.
01:09:19And no one
01:09:24makes me feel
01:09:27like you don't.
01:09:28And no one
01:09:29sets my body
01:09:32over here.
01:09:33And no one
01:09:35gives me shit
01:09:37like you.
