00:13:51After her.
00:14:04What do you guys want from me?
00:14:07From the coffee shop.
00:14:11Taste might be messed up, but I can still enjoy the rest of her.
00:14:15Let me go, asshole.
00:14:17Oh, so feisty one, isn't she?

00:14:53Of course.
00:14:56It's enough.
00:14:56No, no, it's okay.
00:14:58Really, my mom taught me.
00:15:05Mara.
00:15:07Yeah?
00:15:08Can I have the pleasure of knowing your full name?
00:15:12Um...
00:15:14Can I have the pleasure of knowing your full name?
00:15:17Um...

00:15:21Mom, please wake up!
00:15:24No, that's moms!
00:15:26Enough!
00:15:27Your mother is nothing but a vegetable now.
00:15:30And you, from now on, your name is Mara.
00:15:35No, my name is Alice. Mom, call me Alice!
00:15:37Oh, shut up.
00:15:39I can't stand that ugly name from your mother's side.
00:15:42What's your name?
00:15:44Alice!
00:15:46What's your name?
00:15:49Shhh.
00:15:50If I hear the name Alice ever again, you can kiss your mother goodbye.
00:15:56Mara.
00:16:00It's Mara Taylor.
00:16:02That's it, in our middle name?
00:16:04I'm sorry.
00:16:05Mara, wait.
00:16:06No, look, my mother's in danger.
00:16:09I'm sorry, but my mother's in danger.
00:16:12What are you talking about?
00:16:13My family said that if I didn't get married to you, that they're gonna pull the plug on my mom.
00:16:19Please, I need to talk to Dad, just please, don't, please let me talk to Dad, I-
00:16:23This is Noah Marvin.
00:16:24If anyone lays a finger on my mother-in-law, you will regret it for the rest of your miserable
00:16:28lives.
00:16:34Change of plans.
00:16:36Let's get married.
00:16:57I didn't know that you were threatened to marry me.
00:17:00I'm sorry.
00:17:01No, don't say that.
00:17:02I'm the one that should be sorry for dragging you into this mess.
00:17:05Well, it's not all bad.
00:17:07At least my father will leave me alone for a while.
00:17:14You're a really nice person, you know that?
00:17:18People don't usually use nice to describe me.
00:17:21No, it's true.
00:17:22You're incredibly kind.
00:17:23You know, if people don't see that, is there a loss?
00:17:28And are you sure you're not just saying this because you're the nice one?
00:17:33You know, I- I didn't want to get married, but I'm glad it's with you.
00:17:42I didn't want to get married, but I'm glad it's with you.
00:17:53I should tell you that my heart belongs to someone else once I find my girl.
00:17:58It's over.
00:17:59Henderson.
00:18:15She's such a lucky girl. She doesn't even know it.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:24Here, you're my wife now. Take this, use it to pay for anything. Groceries, your mom's medical bill.
00:18:29No, no, it's fine.
00:18:30You should learn to stick out for yourself.
00:18:33Look, Noah, you have to learn how to look out for yourself.
00:18:44Don't forget this.
00:18:47See you soon, Miss Mary.
00:18:49See you soon.
00:18:52Our lives are worlds apart, but why does he seem so familiar?
00:18:59Based on your description, the most likely Alice is Alice Taylor.
00:19:04She works at Brooklyn Pharmaceutical Secretary.
00:19:07What's the company's net worth?
00:19:09Two billion, but they're facing bankruptcy due to mismanagement.
00:19:13Let's put in a bid.
00:19:19I'll see you tomorrow, Alice.
00:19:31Hey, girl.
00:19:32How was the coffee shop?
00:19:33I had an EO at my secretary job.
00:19:37Also, I got married today.
00:19:39Holy shit, Mara.
00:19:43What kind of guy did you marry, Mara?
00:19:55My heart belongs to someone else.
00:19:57Once I find my girl.
00:19:58It's okay.
00:20:01A guy who loves somebody else.
00:20:07Have you heard about the new CEO?
00:20:09Well, he's rich, handsome, and so eligible.
00:20:14I know.
00:20:16Here he comes!
00:20:27Mr. Morgan?
00:20:36Here's my secretary.
00:20:37I am!
00:20:38I am.
00:20:39I only need one.
00:20:42Name.
00:20:43Ava Smith.
00:20:44At your service.
00:20:45Any middle or former names?
00:20:48Uh, no.
00:20:51Emma Tanner.
00:20:52No middle or former names.
00:20:57My...
00:20:59Her again?
00:21:01Could it be?
00:21:02My name...
00:21:04My name...
00:21:06Mara.
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:07I know who you are.
00:21:10Although we check with my sources.
00:21:11I'm sorry, boss.
00:21:12I only need one secretary.
00:21:14Mara?
00:21:14I'll take that.
00:21:15Uh, no.
00:21:38I don't have a question.
00:21:40I'm sorry.
00:21:42I don't have a question.
00:21:43I'm sorry.
00:21:43I don't have a question.
00:21:43I'll take you all the time.
00:21:45Your favor, my special on chocolate.
00:21:49Your favor?
00:21:57Mara.
00:21:59Oh my god, I am so sorry.
00:22:02Here, let me get that for you.
00:22:04I did not, um, anything.
00:22:08Oh, we're leaving.
00:22:10That's quite enough.
00:22:13Um, I will grab the hot cocoa right away.
00:22:17I'm sorry.
00:22:22Noah, if you don't mind me asking,
00:22:25why do you like hot cocoa so much?
00:22:30Why do you like hot cocoa so much?
00:22:32This is a contract marriage.
00:22:34Don't bother trying to get to know.
00:22:35No, I know.
00:22:35Just get out of my office now.
00:22:37Oh, okay.
00:23:01Now, I swear, where are you?
00:23:03Did you hear what she did in the boss's office?
00:23:06Disgusting.
00:23:07Facts.
00:23:23Mmm, it's so yummy, Mom.
00:23:25A cup of hot chocolate isn't complete without orange extract and a little pinch of chili
00:23:30butter.
00:23:37Getting busy with the boss, huh?
00:23:39Uh, what are you talking about?
00:23:47It's only this or more than you knew what a fraud you were.
00:23:52You are the one who sees the real you.
00:23:55You're dumb.
00:23:58Who?
00:24:01What's this?
00:24:03It's mine.
00:24:04How does someone like you have a black car?
00:24:08What's the name on it?
00:24:09I bet she stole it.
00:24:10Just wait.
00:24:12You know I'm working.
00:24:13It's the boss.
00:24:15What a gold digger.
00:24:16No way.
00:24:17She's a thief.
00:24:21You little thief.
00:24:23Stealing the boss's credit card?
00:24:26He gave it to me.
00:24:28Liar!
00:24:28I'm not a liar or a thief.
00:24:30Try telling that to the cops.
00:24:34Get ready for prison, bitch.
00:24:36What is going on?
00:24:37What are you doing tomorrow?
00:24:42What are you doing tomorrow?
00:24:44Do it to her?
00:24:45Mr. Morgan, she stole your credit card.
00:24:48Stole?
00:24:49Yeah.
00:24:50Why, it's only right that Mrs. Morgan used my credit card.
00:24:53Why did I say that?
00:24:58She's your wife?
00:25:01Are you calling me a liar, too?
00:25:04Mara, we are so sorry, but please, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, we didn't know I can't use my job.
00:25:19Mara, we're all sisters.
00:25:23We're besties.
00:25:25You're not going to let him fire us, are you?
00:25:27I mean, you-
00:25:28I'll do anything.
00:25:30Please.
00:25:32Ready, please?
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:39Dismiss those two secretaries immediately.
00:25:42And don't let word of my marriage with Mara spread to anyone else.
00:25:47Sir, you clearly care about Mrs. Morgan.
00:25:50I try to hide it.
00:25:52Neither of us can have any illusions about this marriage.
00:25:55It's better this way.
00:26:00Even her hot cocoa tastes the same.
00:26:03Why does she keep reminding me of Alice?
00:26:08Mr. Morgan, Alice Taylor is on the guest list for the Pinnacle Company Ball next week.
00:26:13So she does work here?
00:26:14Find her!
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:15Hey, Kevin!
00:26:18Our reunion should be special.
00:26:20I'll see you right at the ball.
00:26:32Oh my god.
00:26:33Great.
00:26:39You don't need to hide your scar.
00:26:49Um, about the girl.
00:26:51Yeah, of course.
00:26:52Word is she'll be at the company ball.
00:26:54You want to see her soon?
00:26:56Congratulations.
00:26:57Um, is there anything I could do for you?
00:27:02You too?
00:27:03Come with me to try on suits.
00:27:05I have a feeling she'll like what you like.
00:27:14Hey, y'all.
00:27:15It's your girl, Emily, back at my bestie, Thompson Davis' crib.
00:27:26And each one of these is a bespoke design.
00:27:29Sounds crazy already.
00:27:31Yes, but I'm friends with the owner, so we'll get a discount.
00:27:35Cool.
00:27:36Hey, uh, don't touch me.
00:27:38You can't afford, okay?
00:27:41Excuse me, are you talking to us?
00:27:43Oh, are you her penniless boyfriend?
00:27:48Excuse me, are you talking to us?
00:27:50Oh, are you her penniless boyfriend?
00:27:54Even Mr. Thompson wouldn't speak to me this way.
00:27:58Just don't get involved.
00:28:00No, apologize for your rudeness.
00:28:02Regardless, you shouldn't speak to customers that way.
00:28:05What customers?
00:28:06I don't see any customers.
00:28:08Y'all, can you believe this loser wants me to apologize to him?
00:28:13What?
00:28:14Oh, my God, it's Noah Morgan!
00:28:16That's a billionaire.
00:28:17What is she saying?
00:28:18Oh, man, this girl is so screwed.
00:28:25No way!
00:28:27You're Noah Morgan?
00:28:29Noah!
00:28:30Long time no see!
00:28:32Mr. Davis, how are we?
00:28:38Mr. Davis, how are we doing?
00:28:42I didn't know that you kept such company as friends.
00:28:46What are you?
00:28:47I don't...
00:28:48So sorry, I didn't recognize you.
00:28:50You look so, uh, humble.
00:28:52Yeah, she was just busy slandering me and my secretary.
00:28:56Emily.
00:28:57Is that how you talk to the owner of this boutique?
00:29:01He owns this boutique, too?
00:29:03I...
00:29:04I didn't know.
00:29:05Why don't you go get the sitting rooms ready?
00:29:13It seems like someone needs to learn to respect people the hard way.
00:29:21My streamer account, it's gone!
00:29:24Pinnacle Group owns that platform.
00:29:26You didn't know that.
00:29:28I am so sorry.
00:29:30Please forgive me.
00:29:31My account means everything to me.
00:29:33I'm happy to dismiss her as well, if you'd like, Mr. Norton.
00:29:36No!
00:29:37I'm sorry, really.
00:29:39I am so sorry.
00:29:40We'll see.
00:29:41I'll bring out our finest suit.
00:29:43No.
00:29:44Wait.
00:29:46I'll put try on the dress.
00:29:48Me?
00:29:50Yes.
00:29:51You should enjoy the ball as well.
00:29:53Whatever.
00:30:16Uh, pockets where?
00:30:17Would it be nice?
00:30:18Yes, I have them.
00:30:20Something special.
00:30:28Mr. Morgan?
00:30:29Hold still.
00:30:36Perfect fit.
00:30:49And
00:30:51I think
00:30:52a necklace
00:30:55would make this perfect.
00:31:08Mr. Morgan likes it.
00:31:19Your father's already had the ball.
00:31:21I can't wait to see you and your new wife.
00:31:27Your ugly face here.
00:31:31You don't need to be ashamed.
00:31:33Your scar.
00:31:36I have nothing to be ashamed of.
00:31:39Shouldn't you be taking care of your
00:31:41rotting corpse of a mother?
00:31:42You'd dare say that about her.
00:31:45Mara!
00:31:48Mara, stop making a scene.
00:31:51I'm the one making a scene?
00:31:53What's going on here?
00:31:57Professor Alexander?
00:31:59Mara?
00:32:01Meeting you twice in two months.
00:32:03I'm a lucky man.
00:32:05Professor, you must be mistaken.
00:32:07I...
00:32:07I've never taught.
00:32:08Ugh.
00:32:09Blah, blah, blah.
00:32:11Is this a ball or a college reunion?
00:32:14And I remember you.
00:32:17Your mother tried to bribe the admissions committee.
00:32:19But your grades didn't fool anybody.
00:32:22Ugh.
00:32:22What do you like about Mara so much anyway?
00:32:25Oh, I see.
00:32:27You have the hots for teacher.
00:32:28You're having an affair.
00:32:32Well, guess who has Noah Morgan's number?
00:32:35What do you think?
00:32:36Mara.
00:32:38Go, Mara.
00:32:39Hello, Mr. Morgan.
00:32:42I thought you'd like to know that your wife's cheating on you.
00:32:47I thought you'd like to know that your wife's cheating on you.
00:32:49Mara is cheating.
00:32:50That's right.
00:32:51But the guy's a wrinkly old man.
00:32:54Game over, harlot.
00:32:56CEO of the Pinnacle Group.
00:32:59No way.
00:33:01You're the bastard's son?
00:33:03How dare you.
00:33:05You're Noah's father.
00:33:06I'm so sorry.
00:33:07I didn't recognize you at the wedding.
00:33:08You should call me father and daughter.
00:33:11I never liked my students knowing I was a Morgan.
00:33:14Mr. Morgan.
00:33:15Mr. Morgan Sr.
00:33:17We apologize.
00:33:18Mr. Taylor.
00:33:20I'm afraid the partnership between your company and the Pinnacle Group
00:33:24is not longer available.
00:33:26No, please, please.
00:33:27We need this partnership.
00:33:29Dad, you're embarrassing yourself.
00:33:31Mom wouldn't like that.
00:33:35Now, now you apologize to Mr. Morgan.
00:33:38No way.
00:33:38I'm telling mom.
00:33:40Mara, you just wait.
00:33:42Your mom's on her last fucking legs.
00:33:50Your mother is in a Pinnacle hospital.
00:33:53Nothing is going to happen to her.
00:33:58My best student is now my daughter.
00:34:01Dad.
00:34:01Noah, you're welcome.
00:34:04Enjoy your night.
00:34:05Sorry, father-in-law.
00:34:07We're getting a divorce soon.
00:34:09See you after.
00:34:12The lady's dressing room was this way.
00:34:13If I follow me.
00:34:21A pocket square would be nice.
00:34:25I think a necklace would make this perfect.
00:34:33Ma'am, here's your dress.
00:34:36Yes.
00:34:36Yes.
00:34:38Yes.
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:43Yes.
00:34:54Where is she?
00:35:06Oh my God.
00:35:07Who is that?
00:35:08She looks like an angel.
00:35:31I'm so sorry.
00:35:34Alice, is that you?
00:35:37I'm sorry, who are you?
00:35:38It's me, Noah, from the orphanage.
00:35:40Noah.
00:35:41Yes, yes.
00:35:42Alice, you gave me the handkerchief and I gave you the necklace.
00:35:45And I said that I would buy the biggest.
00:35:48I've got it.
00:35:54You look beautiful.
00:36:00Is everything okay?
00:36:01Yeah.
00:36:02Sorry, I think it's just low blood sugar or something.
00:36:05Come with me.
00:36:08Try some blue cheese, roast beef, and mango chutney.
00:36:13Are you sure about this?
00:36:14Just trust me and then try it.
00:36:16Please, just try it.
00:36:17I'm kidding.
00:36:18I've always wanted to treat cheese food like you treated me with the hot chocolate.
00:36:22I can't believe you remembered me.
00:36:25Alice, you were the light of my life.
00:36:28Ever since you left, I spent every day trying to find you.
00:36:32It's so weird.
00:36:33It feels like we've never been apart.
00:36:36I feel the same way.
00:36:42How about some cocktails for the gorgeous couple?
00:36:46How about hot cocoa?
00:36:48We have cocoa liquor.
00:36:50Oh, can you add oil?
00:36:51Is that the secret recipe?
00:36:53Yeah.
00:36:54You're a reward for finding me.
00:36:56You are a reward enough.
00:37:01Thanks.

00:40:14It's two bolts coming in from Italy next month.
00:40:24We're having second thoughts, are we?
00:40:26Thompson, you may know about Ellis,
00:40:28but that is none of your business.
00:40:30I'm just teasing.
00:40:32How could I forget to get her number?
00:40:33I gave her mine, but she hasn't called.
00:40:36Well, I called in the favor
00:40:38from a friend of mine in the city council.
00:40:40I might have located
00:40:42the address of your girl.
00:40:47As a return favor, you might introduce me
00:40:50to your assumed-to-be ex-wife.
00:40:52She's absolutely stunning.
00:40:57She's absolutely stunning.
00:41:00Get out of my office.
00:41:01She's awfully possessive of someone
00:41:04that you have no feelings for.
00:41:07I don't know.
00:41:27Does Ellis live here?
00:41:29God.
00:41:31How many hot guys are after her?
00:41:33Oh, are you a roommate?
00:41:34Do you know where she is?
00:41:35She's on a date.
00:41:37She has a boyfriend.
00:41:38She has a husband.
00:41:39A husband?
00:41:40Yeah.
00:41:41Kind, handsome, and devastatingly wealthy husband.
00:41:45Do you think you can beat that?
00:42:00Always wonderful to see you, Mara.
00:42:09Always wonderful to see you, Mara.
00:42:17When?
00:42:25You looking for me, baby doll?
00:42:27The name's Cole.
00:42:29But you can call me Coolio.
00:42:32At the ball, it was you?
00:42:40You were really at the ball the other night.
00:42:42I sure was.
00:42:43Mixing drinks, serving looks.
00:42:46Yeah, I guess so.
00:42:49What?
00:42:50Oh, come on.
00:42:51I may be a humble bartender, but I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
00:42:56Oh, you were the bartender.
00:42:58I think there was a mistake.
00:43:00I can dance.
00:43:02I can sing.
00:43:06Hey, hey.
00:43:07Hey, hey.
00:43:12Hey.
00:43:16A-doo-doo-doo.
00:43:17Still got it.
00:43:19Oh my God.
00:43:20Oh, you're fun.
00:43:22What the hell was that?
00:43:24Oh.
00:43:25I think she won't be alone when you leave her.
00:43:28You know, I am still your husband.
00:43:31You know, I am still your husband.
00:43:41It's out.
00:43:42Okay.
00:43:49What is that?
00:43:50She's the one.
00:43:53Can I get this?
00:43:55I can't do this.
00:43:56She isn't her.
00:43:57I can't do this to him.
00:43:59I can't do this to her.
00:44:23Oh, thank you.
00:44:26I taste just like hers.
00:44:28The girl that you've been looking for?
00:44:29You asked why Hakoku means so much to me.
00:44:33I asked you why you liked it.
00:44:35Like, oh, it means everything.
00:44:37More than anything in the world.
00:44:39When I was a kid, that girl gave me some hot cocoa.
00:44:45When I was a kid, that girl gave me some hot cocoa.
00:44:49She gave you cocoa?
00:44:51She was so kind.
00:44:54And...
00:44:54When was this?
00:44:58It was cold and there was snow on the ground.
00:45:01Christmas time?
00:45:02Yeah, exactly.
00:45:07Who's there?
00:45:13Lindsay?
00:45:14Your stepsister?
00:45:18I can't believe her.
00:45:21Okay, so this is going to sound crazy,
00:45:23and it's probably not the same story,
00:45:24but I actually have a Christmas story, too.
00:45:40I promise I'll come and find you.
00:45:42And when I do,
00:45:44I'll bring you the biggest timing in the world.
00:45:48I wish it were you.
00:45:57Bluff words.
00:45:59Wouldn't it be tragic if somebody clipped their wings?
00:46:04Sir, we just received news about Alice.
00:46:07I'm very sorry, sir.
00:46:09The reason we haven't been able to find her is because...
00:46:13That's impossible!
00:46:15I saw her last night!
00:46:22Let's go.
00:46:32Cole?
00:46:33Hey, Mara.
00:46:35I bought that phone number.
00:46:37It wasn't mine.
00:46:38I stole that guy's phone,
00:46:39and he wants to see you.
00:46:42Really?
00:46:43He's at the ballroom right now,
00:46:45waiting for you.
00:46:47I mean, you shouldn't have done that,
00:46:49and don't lie to me again,
00:46:50but...
00:46:51thank you.
00:46:55Wait for me, Noah.
00:47:09I've been dying to see you.
00:47:11I feel the same.
00:47:18It really is you.
00:47:29Why did you lie to me, Mara?
00:47:32What?
00:47:35What?
00:47:36Why did you lie to me?
00:47:37When did I lie to you?
00:47:39When haven't you lied to him, Mara?
00:47:42Lindsay.
00:47:45For one Ellis Taylor,
00:47:4815 years ago.
00:47:50That's not real.
00:47:51Maybe not.
00:47:52Or maybe you're the one who's not real.
00:47:55An unwanted nobody,
00:47:56desperate for somebody else's life,
00:47:59impersonating the true love of a scion.
00:48:01What about the hot chocolate,
00:48:03and the bandaging your scrapes?
00:48:05Relax.
00:48:06My mother's a doctor.
00:48:07All so you could just rub shoulders
00:48:08with the richest guy in town.
00:48:10You're not Ellis,
00:48:11and you've never happened.
00:48:14I can't explain.
00:48:15Then explain.
00:48:18Just say something, Mara,
00:48:20and I'll believe you.
00:48:21Just say something.
00:48:23Say something!
00:48:25Is this Mr. Morgan's assistant?
00:48:27He's at the bottom right now.
00:48:30Good boy.
00:48:41Lindsay.
00:48:43She poisoned my wine,
00:48:44and that was mine.
00:48:47No.
00:48:50Mara, you've broken my heart.
00:48:56No.
00:49:00I'll send you the divorce papers,
00:49:02Miss Taylor.
00:49:02At least you can return what you stole.
00:49:08Why isn't Mara answering her phone?
00:49:11Where is your wife?
00:49:12She's not my wife anymore.
00:49:14What the hell are you talking about?
00:49:16Hello?
00:49:17Hello?
00:49:20You betrayed me.
00:49:22You used me.
00:49:24Why did I fall in love with you?
00:49:27Don't!
00:49:30Mr. Morgan?
00:49:45Give me those divorce papers.
00:49:47It's over with Mara.
00:49:49We'll keep paying for her mother's care.
00:49:51Then she set us all up.
00:49:53There was a car crash,
00:49:54but Mara didn't die.
00:49:56That's how she got the scar.
00:49:57Mara, you know.
00:49:59Mara is Ellis.
00:50:02And here,
00:50:04from the company's archive.
00:50:08Mara Ellis Taylor.
00:50:11She wasn't lying.
00:50:14She wasn't lying.
00:50:15Boss.
00:50:17I made a mistake.
00:50:24Mara!
00:50:25No, no.
00:50:27Mara.
00:50:27Hey.
00:50:28It was me.
00:50:29It was me.
00:50:30I'm sorry.
00:50:31Mara.
00:50:31Wake up.
00:50:33Don't call me Mara.
00:50:35My name's Ellis.
00:50:36Ellis.
00:50:37Ellis, please.
00:50:38Stay with me.
00:50:39Call an ambulance.
00:50:41I'm sorry.
00:50:43I'm sorry.
00:50:44I'm sorry.
00:50:46Whatever she was poisoned with
00:50:47severely damaged her nerves.
00:50:49She might survive,
00:50:51but she might never regain her voice again.
00:50:53I kept telling her to say something.
00:50:55You lied to me.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:07I'm sorry.
00:51:12Sorry.
00:51:13I'm sorry.
00:51:34Comfortable?
00:51:37No.
00:51:38Let me put you out of your misery.
00:52:05I was dreaming about my mom.
00:52:07She was, she was waving goodbye.
00:52:13Miss Taylor, I've called you many times.
00:52:16I'm very sorry, but your mother has passed away.
00:52:24Mara, wait!
00:52:27No.
00:52:29Doctor!
00:52:30I need a doctor!
00:52:32What is that?
00:52:34He's gone.
00:52:35No.
00:52:35Mara.
00:52:35No.
00:52:36Mara.
00:52:37I'm here for you.
00:52:38You?
00:52:39I miss my mother's death because of you.
00:52:44I miss my mother's death because of you.
00:52:47No, I'm so sorry.
00:52:48You're sorry?
00:52:49You said that my mother would be in a Pinnacle Hospital and then she'd be safe and now she's
00:52:53dead because you'll listen to some liar instead of trusting what we have.
00:52:57It's all my fault, Mara.
00:52:58Just give me one more chance and I'll make it up.
00:53:01I could have seen my mother if it weren't for you.
00:53:05God, she had never met you.
00:53:08I'm sorry.
00:53:10I don't say that.
00:53:12You're the light of my life.
00:53:14How can I be a light when I'm the one in the dark?
00:53:19Just, please, just go.
00:53:24Just go.
00:53:27Just go.
00:53:51I'll save my mother if I weren't breathing.
00:53:55Mara sent these to newspapers.
00:54:11Morgan men, do not run away.
00:54:16Dad.
00:54:17Oh, son of mine, we'll just roll over and let this happen.
00:54:22You promised to take care of her.
00:54:26Noah, didn't you?
00:54:39Are you sure about this, babe?
00:54:41I just...
00:54:42Morgan's beef.
00:54:43No, I want nothing to do with them.
00:54:49I'll get it.
00:54:54Morning, miss.
00:54:55Would you like to know about our new medical welfare initiative?
00:54:58A world-renowned ENT surgeon is visiting the local hospitals
00:55:01and is offering surgeries pro bono.
00:55:06Pro bono, like, free?
00:55:08Yes, absolutely free.
00:55:10Post-upcare and meals included.
00:55:14Thank God, you could really use this.
00:55:17Who is the surgeon?
00:55:19He only goes by the name of the Green Knight.
00:55:29Can you believe the Green Knight himself is performing the surgery?
00:55:34I mean, she's so lucky.
00:55:36You don't get it, do you?
00:55:37Huh?
00:55:38She's Mrs. Mort.
00:55:42I'll make things right, Mara.
00:55:44I promise.
00:55:56Sorry.
00:55:59Claire.
00:56:07As expected from Mr. Morgan, surgery was even more successful than anticipated.
00:56:11It's not done yet.
00:56:13But I trust the world's best plastic surgeon won't disappoint.
00:56:16It's not done yet.
00:56:29My face.
00:56:31Oh, my God.
00:56:32I couldn't have dreamed about this.
00:56:34Thank you so much.
00:56:35You're recovering well, but you should still be careful.
00:56:38Mr. Morgan specifically the instructor.
00:56:39Mr. Morgan?
00:56:45Mr. Morgan specifically instructed us to apologize that he couldn't come see you.
00:56:51Also, he hopes that you would reconsider your resignation.
00:56:54I'm leaving the city for good.
00:57:08My scars are all healed up, Mom.
00:57:11I wish you were here to see them.
00:57:17You and your mother will always be beneath me, alive or dead.
00:57:24Mara, how dare you?
00:57:29Oh, so your scar is gone, huh?
00:57:32Well, let me give you a new one.
00:57:33And this time, don't expect Mr. Morgan to save you.
00:57:39Oh, so your scar is gone, huh?
00:57:41Well, let me give you a new one.
00:57:43And this time, don't expect Mr. Morgan to save you.
00:57:47Mara.
00:57:49This pathetic man lives by my family's wealth.
00:57:52He's the family dog, don't you know?
00:57:54He'll bite whoever I ask.
00:57:56Well, from what I hear, the Browns are heading into a bit of a storm.
00:58:01So you think the Morgan family can take over New York?
00:58:05My family has dominated this place for over three generations.
00:58:09I think we already did.
00:58:13Yes.
00:58:14What?
00:58:17Bankrupt?
00:58:20Now you've got nothing to hold over me.
00:58:25I despise men who hate women.
00:58:30Mr. Morgan, wait, this is a mistake.
00:58:32Mara.
00:58:34It's possible Mara's mother was murdered.
00:58:36Just give me one more chance and I promise we'll find the truth.
00:58:54Mara.
00:58:55Where are you?
00:58:56I'm throwing a party with the inheritance from your poor mother.
00:59:00Want to join us, dear sister?
00:59:06Of course.
00:59:09Order whatever you want.
00:59:11Tonight it's on me.
00:59:12Missy.
00:59:12Where did you get all this money from?
00:59:14Oh, just some dental crone.
00:59:19Whoa.
00:59:20Who's that smoke show?
00:59:22Sister dear.
00:59:23I'm so glad you could make it.
00:59:24We're so sorry about your mother.
00:59:27Lindsay, can I speak with you alone?
00:59:29And take me away from my friends?
00:59:31Well, that would be...
00:59:32You'd have to make it up to them.
00:59:36What do you want?
00:59:36Lee's a button or two.
00:59:38Let the guys have a look.
00:59:39Yeah, come on.
00:59:42Okay.
00:59:47Wow.
00:59:49She'll really do whatever we say.
00:59:53Happy now?
00:59:55You know, I'd be much happier if you drink up.
01:00:05How about now?
01:00:07Oh, not even close.
01:00:10How about now?
01:00:18Uh, Lindsay, I think we should go.
01:00:21I think your sister's lost it.
01:00:22Okay.
01:00:23Okay, we can talk.
01:00:29Spill.
01:00:29What's the deal?
01:00:30You killed my mother.
01:00:32Your mother was on death's door for decades.
01:00:35As long as my mom was alive, she owned half of the company's shares.
01:00:38Maybe somebody's spending habits drove them to take drastic measures.
01:00:41My mother gives me all the money I need.
01:00:44Newsflash, Lindsay.
01:00:45Your mother's bankrupt.
01:00:47No way.
01:00:48You're lying.
01:00:56You're gonna pay for this.
01:00:59You killed my mother because as long as she was alive, you would always just be a child of a
01:01:04mystery.
01:01:05Shut up!
01:01:13Your father lived off my mother.
01:01:16Your money is mine!
01:01:18So what if I helped your mother by?
01:01:20It's a shame you weren't there to see her.
01:01:23Time for you to join her.
01:01:24Mara!
01:01:34You're gonna pay for what you did.
01:01:37With what evidence?
01:01:40Well, how about...
01:01:41Save it for the police.
01:01:43You both tricked me.
01:01:45You're scum.
01:01:46Don't think you've won.
01:01:48Mara missed the death of her mother because of you!
01:01:51That will never change!
01:01:53Even if I die, you'll never be happy!
01:01:57I need to talk.
01:01:59Sorry, but we're done.
01:02:00My lawyer. I smoked.
01:02:05Be brave, Mara.
01:02:07It's really over with Morgan.
01:02:26Mr. Taylor, good morning.
01:02:28I'm Carlos, Mr. Morgan's attorney.
01:02:35Wow.
01:02:36We decided to end it all here.
01:02:38At Sophie's Coffee.
01:02:41Where we first met.
01:02:42Actually, it's Ellis Coffee now.
01:02:46I'm sorry.
01:02:47Under Mr. Morgan's agreement, your father was removed from the board for mismanagement.
01:02:52You're now the sole heir to the Tyler Company and all its assets.
01:02:59You're now the sole heir to the Tyler Company and all its assets.
01:03:03Transferred from the Pinnacle Group to you.
01:03:06Um, thank you?
01:03:08He was merely returning.
01:03:09He didn't mention anything about divorce proceedings.
01:03:12Miss Taylor, Mr. Morgan loves you more than anything in the world.
01:03:26Mara?
01:03:28Don't tell me you've come to beg for your job back.
01:03:31Oh, it's been a while.
01:03:33Free up, Mara.
01:03:36Are you still rude as ever?
01:03:37We have a new owner coming in today.
01:03:40Better get out of here before you make a bad impression.
01:03:42What if I told you the new owner was me?
01:03:46What if I told you the new owner was me?
01:03:49Yeah, in your dreams.
01:03:50If you were the new owner, I would quit on the spot.
01:03:53Oh, well, don't make promises you can't keep.
01:03:56You get rid of your scar and now you think you're hot shit.
01:03:59Oh, I am way above you now.
01:04:02This must be her.
01:04:04Everyone come welcome the new boss.
01:04:06It's so wonderful to find me.
01:04:09So nice to meet you.
01:04:10Thank you for being here.
01:04:11Well, well.
01:04:12It looks like the Brown family left me a little something.
01:04:15You're even more beautiful than I thought you'd be.
01:04:17Quite frankly, I was expecting something much more grand from you.
01:04:21She's not the boss.
01:04:23She's bankrupt.
01:04:24Oh, throw this lying bitch out of here.
01:04:27You heard her.
01:04:28You know what? We'll see who gets the last laugh.
01:04:30We're in charge of renovating all the outlets of this cafe.
01:04:33Who's the owner here?
01:04:34That would be this elegant lady.
01:04:37Of course.
01:04:39The total cost will be $20 million.
01:04:41Card attached.
01:04:44Well, I left the house in such a hurry this morning and I'm not sure if I brought all my
01:04:49cards.
01:04:51Failure to pay in full will result in a 20% penalty.
01:04:53Over with the customers are waiting.
01:04:55Of course.
01:05:07Transaction declines.
01:05:09Transaction declines.
01:05:11No.
01:05:12No.
01:05:12Mara is right.
01:05:14You're fake.
01:05:15No.
01:05:16This is a brand new card.
01:05:18Let me handle this.
01:05:19I'm the real boss.
01:05:23Transaction successful.
01:05:25Thank you, miss.
01:05:26Of course.
01:05:27Mara.
01:05:28Darling.
01:05:29Forget what I said earlier.
01:05:31I knew deep down you were the real boss.
01:05:34Really?
01:05:34Because I remember you saying that if I was the boss, you would quit immediately.
01:05:41Yeah, hurry up.
01:05:42I'm sorry.
01:05:43Please forgive me.
01:05:44Someone who mistreats their employees and looks down on others does not belong in my shop.
01:05:49You're fired.
01:05:50How dare you?
01:05:52I am the eldest daughter of the brown fish.
01:05:55Shut up with that.
01:05:56Watch my bread.
01:05:58I need that.
01:05:59You're a scavenging tramp.
01:06:02Oh, how the tables have turned.
01:06:05Hey.
01:06:06Yo, what up?
01:06:08This is Cole.
01:06:08Hey, I'm at the hospital coffee shop.
01:06:10You want to meet up?
01:06:11Sure.
01:06:12See you there.
01:06:17Hello?
01:06:18Mara.
01:06:19I thought you should know.
01:06:20Noah's father's in the hospital.
01:06:35How is he?
01:06:36My father's going to be okay.
01:06:38Are you okay?
01:06:40Kevin said that you haven't slept in days and that the surgery lasted hours.
01:06:46I'll be fine.
01:06:48You don't have to worry about me.
01:06:50I only care about my professor, so, um, not about you.
01:06:57Wait.
01:06:59Noah?
01:07:00Oh, my God.
01:07:01Help!
01:07:02Someone help me!
01:07:03Please!
01:07:06Help!
01:07:07Someone help!
01:07:08Please!
01:07:15You saved me again, Alice.
01:07:18Well, you've saved me several times.
01:07:21And you fixed my voice.
01:07:22And Scar.
01:07:24You know.
01:07:25I'm not stupid.
01:07:31Why don't we just call it even?
01:07:55Why don't we just call it even?
01:07:56This guy's going crazy.
01:08:00Please.
01:08:01Don't do it.
01:08:02Just drop the knife.
01:08:07You have two choices.
01:08:10The knife down.
01:08:11We're not playing any games.
01:08:12Make me.
01:08:13Mara!
01:08:14There you are.
01:08:16Girl, why aren't you at the coffee shop?
01:08:19Yeah.
01:08:19Quite the party in here, huh?
01:08:21Um, Rebecca.
01:08:23Meet my really good friend, Cole.
01:08:25What?
01:08:26What a beautiful and gorgeous woman you are.
01:08:30You must be a royal, m'lady.
01:08:33Well, I...
01:08:34I do come from a noble family.
01:08:36Well, that all makes sense.
01:08:38You are dignified.
01:08:40Thanks.
01:08:41No!
01:08:44No!
01:08:47No!
01:08:48No!
01:08:51You bitch!
01:08:53Don't you be so proud of yourself.
01:08:55Your poor mother is dead.
01:08:56And you're good.
01:08:57Do I look like I'm alone?
01:09:03You have no idea who I am.
01:09:06You must be the funniest, smartest person I've ever met in my entire life.
01:09:10Hey.
01:09:14Here's three million dollars.
01:09:15Just take it and leave my wife alone.
01:09:20Babe.
01:09:22Now, if this guy ever lets you down, you call me.
01:09:25Mm-hmm.
01:09:25Although I have a feeling he's not going to.
01:09:28You can call me too, stud.
01:09:30Yes.
01:09:32Oh, okay.
01:09:34Oh, come on.
01:09:35You can't seriously be mad about that.
01:09:41It's time to keep that promise.
01:09:49I'm told that you're interested in our diamonds collection.
01:09:52Mm-hmm.
01:09:52We have some discreet one count for our average customer.
01:09:56Well, we're not your average customer.
01:09:57We want the 50-carat centerpiece.
01:10:02Hopefully, this doesn't stop.
01:10:04That expensive diamond has been sold.
01:10:06You set a record.
01:10:11Hmm.
01:10:18Hmm.
01:10:25Hmm.
01:10:28Hmm.
01:10:31Hmm.
01:10:31Hmm.
01:10:36Hmm.
01:10:37Hmm.
01:10:37Hmm.
01:10:39Hmm.
01:10:40Hmm.
01:10:42you
