00:00:08Miss Spears, congratulations on your 100th victory in court.
00:00:12How do you manage to win every case?
00:00:14I advocate for justice, and justice never fails.
00:00:17Are you going to win?
00:00:18Of course.
00:00:30A billionaire university student, Lewis, shoots the CEO of a pharmaceutical company.
00:00:35Boss, here are the new promotional contracts for you to review.
00:00:40If your husband George wins one more case, he'll become a partner at Sparks Law Firm.
00:00:46You know, it's a pity that he doesn't know how much you've been supporting him from behind the scenes.
00:00:51Well, I didn't want to cause him any pressure.
00:00:54But with the promotion and my pregnancy...
00:01:00I think it's time I reveal my true identity.
00:01:03Also, would you draft up an agreement so that George can have half of my shares at my group, Serial?
00:01:09Um, Serial is one of the largest companies in the world.
00:01:12It's fine. He's my husband and the father of my child.
00:01:17He deserves to have half of everything with me.
00:01:29George, I have a surprise for you.
00:01:34George!
00:01:35What are you doing?
00:01:38Ellie, you're just in time.
00:01:40Um, help us clean this up, won't you?
00:01:42What?
00:01:44So this is your so-called wife?
00:01:46Sorry you had to endure it for three years.
00:01:50Um, George, I need an explanation.
00:01:54I'm a big shot attorney now.
00:01:57You? What have you achieved?
00:01:59Nothing.
00:02:00All you do is spend my money.
00:02:03How could you say that?
00:02:05I gave up my career for yours.
00:02:08I organized your files and I helped you with promotions.
00:02:11You're just a housewife.
00:02:16You're just a housewife.
00:02:18Don't flatter yourself thinking you made such big contributions to my career.
00:02:24George is about to take on the Lewis case.
00:02:30It's a global sensation.
00:02:32If he wins, not only will he get $10 million in legal fees,
00:02:37but he will also be named the new partner of Spark Law Firm.
00:02:41You don't deserve that.
00:02:43Thanks to you, I got the case.
00:02:47George, I'm the one who recommended you for that promotion.
00:02:52Barbara's uncle is a partner at Spark Law Firm.
00:02:56What are you in comparison?
00:02:58I'm Ellie Spears, the founder of Spark Law and also your boss.
00:03:05And also your boss.
00:03:07Boss.
00:03:11Oh, if you're Ellie Spears, then I must be Taylor Swift.
00:03:16Come on.
00:03:18Ellie Spears is the queen of the legal world.
00:03:21A legendary figure, undefeated in court.
00:03:24And how could somebody like you possibly be her?
00:03:27You share nothing with her but a name.
00:03:29My uncle told me that the owner of Spark Law Firm is the CEO of top global corporation,
00:03:35Serial.
00:03:36And Serial has nothing to do with Ellie Spears.
00:03:40And certainly nothing to do with you.
00:03:42The public isn't aware of my connection to Serial because I started a firm after law school.
00:03:49I built up the reputation of Ellie Spears.
00:03:54Please, take a look in the mirror.
00:03:56Ellie Spears is not only renowned in the legal field for her skills, but also for her beauty.
00:04:03And you...
00:04:07You're the most beautiful, babe.
00:04:09I can't believe I gave up my career for you.
00:04:14You jerk!
00:04:15Stop spouting nonsense!
00:04:17Baby, don't waste your time on her.
00:04:20We have an important meeting.
00:04:25No, wait, please!
00:04:27Wait!
00:04:27Oh!
00:04:34Just release this!
00:04:37Save the baby!
00:04:39Oh!
00:04:58Boss, we finally found Ellie Spears.
00:05:02Where is she?
00:05:13My baby?
00:05:15I'm sorry, Miss Ellie. We couldn't save your baby.
00:05:44What's going on?
00:05:45Oh, nothing. Just a spam message.
00:06:04Who are you?
00:06:06I'm Will. I just wanted to come check and see how Miss Ellie Spears was doing.
00:06:13How did you recognize me?
00:06:15You're actually the reason I double majored in law, so kind of a big deal.
00:06:22Bring my new suit to the firm right away. I need it for a meeting.
00:06:30You alright?
00:06:32I'm fine. I am Ellie Spears, not Ellie Lenny.
00:06:39And I'm ready to take back everything I lost.
00:06:47Lewis Case has drawn global attention. It's the biggest case our firm has ever had.
00:06:52We can't make any mistakes.
00:06:58Just leave my suit in my office. You're interrupting my meeting.
00:07:02I'm not here to deliver you anything.
00:07:05I'm here to divorce you.
00:07:09I'm here to divorce you.
00:07:11What?
00:07:15Apologies, everyone. My wife has been under a lot of stress lately.
00:07:19Excuse me.
00:07:23Ow! Let me go!
00:07:29What the hell is wrong with you?
00:07:31What? You already have a new lover. I'm just setting you free.
00:07:35I am about to take on the most high profile case in the entire world.
00:07:39And you choose today, now, to bring this shit up?
00:07:42That sounds like a huge problem.
00:07:44I just want my divorce.
00:07:49Take the whole thing. Happy now?
00:07:55Got enough, huh?
00:07:57Or, it's in my upcoming promotion to partner.
00:08:01You want a little piece of that sweet action, is that it?
00:08:04Well, unless your eyes are failing you, take a look at the divorce agreement.
00:08:12You're not asking for a penny.
00:08:14Keep your filthy money away from me.
00:08:17But just know, that everything I gave you, I'm taking back.
00:08:23The Louis case?
00:08:25It's mine.
00:08:28I was once the Louis family personal lawyer.
00:08:31I brought that case to you.
00:08:37Louis' family actually gave George this case because of my uncle's connection.
00:08:44Barbara worked very hard to make this happen for me.
00:08:47Do not fuck it up!
00:08:48Well, with your legal expertise, this case is doomed without my help.
00:08:53Shut your whore mouth. You're just a useless housewife.
00:08:56Well, then I guess I'll see you in court.
00:08:59What are you trying to do?
00:09:01Oh!
00:09:04Putting your hands on a woman?
00:09:07That's assault.
00:09:08And since we're technically still married, that's domestic violence.
00:09:13Maximum sentence for that?
00:09:15Years.
00:09:17You okay?
00:09:20So I see why you wanted a divorce, huh?
00:09:23Found yourself a little...
00:09:25sugar baby.
00:09:27Must have cost you a fortune.
00:09:28Otherwise, what man would ever want to go near an old woman like you?
00:09:34One more word, and I'll sue you for defamation.
00:09:37Will, it's just my...
00:09:39Assistant.
00:09:42And I'm assisting Ellie Wynn the Louis case.
00:09:45Oh.
00:09:48Come on.
00:09:55I wouldn't count it!
00:10:02Something's off.
00:10:03How the hell does Ellie know so much about the law?
00:10:09She probably just picked up a few legal terms from her soap operas and now she thinks she's a lawyer.
00:10:15But you heard her. She said that she was the Louis family's personal attorney.
00:10:19Impossible. Their last attorney was Ellie Spears.
00:10:25You're right. You're right. The divorce must have completely crushed her.
00:10:30She actually thinks that she's the real Ellie Spears.
00:10:36And that she can take the case away from me. Ridiculous!
00:10:39Ellie Spears disappeared three years ago. For all we know, she's probably dead by now.
00:10:46The Louis case is mine.
00:10:54You didn't have to do that. But thank you for stepping in.
00:11:02Well, I guess this is it.
00:11:07Wait.
00:11:11I meant what I said earlier. If you're serious about getting back into law, I think you're gonna need a
00:11:17partner.
00:11:29The Louis trial begins today with thousands gathering outside the courthouse in a show of support.
00:11:46Luke Spears..
00:11:48She's back!
00:12:17Relax, Lewis.
00:12:19You saw those supporters out there?
00:12:21We've got this thing in the bag.
00:12:23Your Honor, the prosecution would like to submit new evidence.
00:12:32As this footage demonstrates, the prosecution formally seeks the death penalty.
00:12:38The evidence clearly establishes premeditated murder.
00:12:44You're my lawyer.
00:12:46Say something.
00:12:51This is bad. This is very bad.
00:12:53This new evidence, it's very damning.
00:12:56As your attorney, I advise you to take the plea.
00:12:59Plead guilty and you'll do a maximum of 15 years.
00:13:02Are you kidding?
00:13:03I didn't pay you $10 million to side with the prosecution.
00:13:09Your Honor, I want a new lawyer.
00:13:11If you dismiss your current attorney, do you have another one ready to take over?
00:13:14Changing attorneys now is insane.
00:13:16It's risky. No one's going to take the case now.
00:13:19Your Honor, I will be representing Louis from this point forward.
00:13:42Your Honor, I will be representing Louis from this point forward.
00:13:52Ellie?
00:13:54Showing up like this? Do you really think this will win George back?
00:14:03Whatever you're trying to do, it won't change anything. Leave. Now!
00:14:07I have every right to be here.
00:14:09I'm his new defense attorney.
00:14:11You?
00:14:12Do you have any idea what it takes to be a licensed attorney?
00:14:19George doesn't have what it takes to win this case.
00:14:22Every victory he's ever had, it's been me.
00:14:25And how do I know that's true?
00:14:27Because I was your family's personal lawyer, Ellie Spears.
00:14:34I don't expect you to believe me right away.
00:14:37But just know that when the time comes and you need a new defense attorney, I'm your best choice.
00:14:45Your Honor, I would like Miss Ellie to take over as my defense attorney.
00:14:50Louis, you can't be serious. Are you certain about this decision?
00:14:55Yes, Your Honor. I'm sure.
00:14:58Objection, Your Honor!
00:15:02Your Honor, she's... she's completely out of her mind.
00:15:07Your Honor, the defendant has officially requested to change his defense attorney.
00:15:12Don't you dare.
00:15:14Or in the court.
00:15:15Now, if you claim to be a licensed attorney, you must provide evidence of your qualifications.
00:15:23Practicing law without a license? That's a criminal offense.
00:15:27This woman is insane.
00:15:30If she messes up his trial, the whole world will come against her.
00:15:35Your Honor, here is my diploma from Harvard Law School. I graduated top of my class.
00:15:40Here's my bar certification and my practice of legal law.
00:15:51You're Ellie Spears, the undefeated queen of the courtroom.
00:16:03Your Honor, you must be mistaken.
00:16:06Are you challenging my judgment, Mr. Lenny?
00:16:08No, no, Your Honor. She's my ex-wife. She's only here to disrupt the court.
00:16:13Sounds like you're the one that's still obsessed.
00:16:15Your Honor, the defendant has requested a new defense attorney.
00:16:20Him being here disrupting the court is contempt of court.
00:16:24Remove him to the spectator's area?
00:16:26No! Let me go! She's only here to ruin the trial!
00:16:38Can she really help Lewis with this case?
00:16:40Even I wasn't confident. A simpleton like her? No chance.
00:16:45Your Honor, the prosecution's claim that this was murder is false.
00:16:50This was not premeditated. It was manslaughter. A case of self-defense.
00:16:55You're joking. Lewis planned this.
00:16:59Your Honor, we have new evidence to submit.
00:17:07I asked the court to examine these records.
00:17:10These documents prove that Lewis has been a long-term user of these companies' pharmaceutical medications.
00:17:16And the evidence shows that the drugs Lewis has been taking have been actively affecting his health and his safety.
00:17:22Every drug goes through strict testing before approval.
00:17:26I have reason to believe that the company falsified clinical trial data in order to meet approval standards.
00:17:32Here are records of the adverse effects Lewis experienced.
00:17:39Lies! This is defamation!
00:17:41This report was issued by the hospital. It's verified and authentic.
00:17:46Objection! 90% of all medication has side effects.
00:17:51But this doesn't justify murder.
00:17:53Sustained. Defense clarified the relevance of the evidence to this case.
00:17:59Lewis' mother died because of this drug.
00:18:07Defendant, the court requires you to confirm. Is your attorney's statement accurate?
00:18:12Yes, Your Honor.
00:18:13None of this is supported by evidence.
00:18:16The defense would like to submit the following evidence.
00:18:21Video footage of Lewis' mother during her treatment.
00:18:25Medical records and testimonies from the healthcare staff.
00:18:28That's impossible!
00:18:31I had everything destroyed!
00:18:40Lewis' mother suffered from seizures, vomiting blood, even slipping into a coma.
00:18:45And she believed it was all a part of the treatment.
00:18:47And in the end, she died in agony.
00:18:50And the company still denies these side effects.
00:18:54Worse, continues to sell the drug, putting even more lives at risk.
00:18:58Their CEO is the real murderer.
00:19:01Lewis is a hero!
00:19:02I have family that's taking this drug.
00:19:05And if this is true, then this company is profiting off of deaths.
00:19:10Objection!
00:19:11The defense is manipulating the jury!
00:19:15Overruled. The evidence stands.
00:19:17Your Honor, given the amount of new evidence,
00:19:20the prosecution requests a recess to review the new findings.
00:19:27Granted.
00:19:29That bitch can't actually turn this around, can she?
00:19:32Don't underestimate how far big corporations will go to silence troublemakers.
00:19:38They have ways of making people...
00:19:46...disappear.
00:19:56Take a break.
00:19:57Eat first.
00:19:58Just... just leave it. I'll eat it later.
00:20:06Alright.
00:20:08Thanks.
00:20:08I guess I am a little hungry.
00:20:10Just not...
00:20:12I don't know.
00:20:12I'm just not feeling as sharp as I did three years ago.
00:20:15No, no, no.
00:20:16You are better than ever.
00:20:18Even more captivating.
00:20:27I'll get you a drink.
00:20:34Will?
00:20:41What do you want?
00:20:42Relax. We come in good faith.
00:20:48Drop the case, and this goes away.
00:20:52Not happening.
00:20:53That's 20 million dollars.
00:20:55Twice as much than the Lewis family is paying you.
00:20:57This isn't about money.
00:20:59This is about justice.
00:21:01Don't be so naive.
00:21:02Name your price.
00:21:09Hey!
00:21:12Hey! What are you doing?
00:21:19Do you know what happened to the last person who crossed us?
00:21:23Car accidents.
00:21:26Kidnappings.
00:21:27Mysterious disappearances.
00:21:29You know, sometimes I wonder how such misfortune can be so routine.
00:21:37Are you threatening me?
00:21:40I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't scare so easily.
00:21:47Right now, there are no witnesses, no one's around, but you can still change your mind.
00:21:54Keep on dreaming.
00:21:56Alright then. Since we can't come to an agreement, we'll have to do it the hard way.
00:22:02Don't!
00:22:04Stop!
00:22:10You okay?
00:22:15You touch her again. You're not going to live to regret it.
00:22:19You're going to regret this!
00:22:21Yeah? Try me.
00:22:25Are you Will Caprio?
00:22:28The CEO of the Caprio Group?
00:22:40He's mistaken. I... I used to work for the Caprio Group.
00:22:44If Feli finds out who I am, she'll never let me be her assistant.
00:22:47We're not done!
00:22:49Lewis killed our CEO. He's gonna die.
00:22:55Hey, I... I saw someone taking pictures outside. I tried to get him, but he got away.
00:23:08You see that, Lewis? Your new lawyer betrayed you. I told you you couldn't trust that bitch. She took a
00:23:14check for more than your family's paying her.
00:23:16What?
00:23:18There's still time to replace her. If you don't, you're dead whenever it comes out.
00:23:29So... you're the one who's been spying on me, George?
00:23:33Took the bribe and still have the balls to show up here, huh?
00:23:36They offered me a check. But I didn't take it.
00:23:41You idiot! It doesn't matter whether you took it or not. Someone else will. You can't win this case!
00:23:47And you can't buy justice. I will win.
00:23:53Cheer for it all.
00:23:56Get out of my way, buddy.
00:24:02He's got a point, you know?
00:24:04If they don't pay you, they're just gonna pay somebody else.
00:24:06If not, maybe even the jury.
00:24:09Don't worry.
00:24:15I have a plan.
00:24:22Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your sympathy.
00:24:26I do.
00:24:28But let's be clear.
00:24:30This case is an anomaly.
00:24:33A one in a million genetic coincidence.
00:24:37But what is not a coincidence
00:24:40is the undeniable fact that he pulled the trigger.
00:24:45And if we let dangerous people like him walk free,
00:24:49how many more lives will be at risk?
00:24:54Your Honor,
00:24:56the prosecution maintains this request for the death penalty.
00:25:01Jury, you may now retire for deliberation.
00:25:04She's gonna lose.
00:25:05And things are about to get real ugly for her.
00:25:11Check the news! Another scandal just broke!
00:25:15It is confirmed that the drugs have killed thousands of people!
00:25:23Now, do you still believe
00:25:25Lewis and his mother were anomalies?
00:25:28According to our investigative research,
00:25:30the CEO ordered the deadly side effects to be concealed
00:25:35in order to push the drugs to market and maximize profits.
00:25:38Lewis and his mother are just two of countless victims.
00:25:43My daughter took that drug too.
00:25:45I thought she died from her illness.
00:25:48They are the real murderers!
00:25:51The investigation is not over.
00:25:53No decision has been made yet.
00:25:55Your Honor, this is nothing more than emotional manipulation.
00:25:58This is a public outcry.
00:26:02What?
00:26:03What do you mean the accounts are frozen?
00:26:07What?
00:26:08What do you mean the accounts are frozen?
00:26:15Order in the court!
00:26:17Jury, you may now proceed with deliberation.
00:26:21Are you sure about this?
00:26:23Justice is on our side.
00:26:25George, she can't actually win this case, can she?
00:26:28Fuck no.
00:26:30The company will pay off the jury.
00:26:32No way she wins!
00:26:34Has the jury reached the unanimous verdict?
00:26:37Yes, Your Honor.
00:26:38Please read that verdict.
00:26:40Regarding the charge of first-degree murder
00:26:43against defendant,
00:26:45Louis Mangione.
00:26:52We, the jury, find the defendant.
00:27:02Not guilty.
00:27:09Thank you for bringing me and my mother justice.
00:27:14And this is just the beginning.
00:27:15Next, I'll be filing a class action lawsuit against Blackwell Pharmaceuticals on behalf of the victims and their families.
00:27:22Start gathering your evidence.
00:27:24We're taking them all down.
00:27:25So she really is the real Ellie Spears?
00:27:29She must be the queen of the law!
00:27:32It's luck!
00:27:33It's your luck!
00:27:34If it weren't for her, the one celebrating this win would be you.
00:27:39That bitch stole my case, ruined my name, humiliated me in front of everyone.
00:27:45She would not get away with this.
00:27:48Stop right there.
00:27:51Tell me.
00:27:52Did you sleep your way into that verdict?
00:27:55Did you fuck the jury? Did you-
00:27:59I can't believe I ever married you.
00:28:03I win!
00:28:05I always win!
00:28:07And you're just too pathetic to admit it!
00:28:10Shut your slutty mouth!
00:28:12Just let her go.
00:28:22I've said it before.
00:28:24You touch her again, you're gonna regret it.
00:28:27Tell me.
00:28:28How much is this bitch paying you to play her guard dog?
00:28:35No!
00:28:37No, Will, enough.
00:28:39Don't waste your energy on them.
00:28:42We'll handle this ourselves.
00:28:48Son of a-
00:28:52Who are you?
00:28:53Mr. Lenny.
00:28:54I'm Louie's assistant.
00:28:56Because you were dismissed, we will need you to return some of the retainer fee.
00:29:01What?!
00:29:02That money is mine!
00:29:03I earned it!
00:29:08Fine!
00:29:09Fine!
00:29:10I'll return it.
00:29:13Go!
00:29:15Dammit!
00:29:16It's all that feature's fault!
00:29:18Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:29:19It's alright.
00:29:20My uncle, he still has that promotion lined up for you.
00:29:24Yeah, yeah.
00:29:25The contract.
00:29:26It's ready to be signed.
00:29:29Really?
00:29:30Oh, babe!
00:29:31Let's celebrate.
00:29:34Dinner's on me tonight.
00:29:37Boss.
00:29:38Ugh.
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41You two again?
00:29:42This is Caprio Group's private, elite, exclusive club.
00:29:46Not where you belong.
00:29:47Can't even afford proper clothes.
00:29:50Heard the burger joint around the corner doesn't have a dress code.
00:29:53Excuse me.
00:29:54Are you the defense attorney from the Lois case?
00:29:58Yes, I am.
00:30:00If you need some legal representation, I would be happy to-
00:30:03Congratulations!
00:30:08Congratulations!
00:30:10My name is Alex.
00:30:12Here is my business card.
00:30:13Would you be interested in taking on a case for us?
00:30:18My pleasure.
00:30:19Great!
00:30:20Let's go inside and talk over dinner.
00:30:22Shall we?
00:30:25Thank you, sir.
00:30:26I worked on the case, too.
00:30:30Fuck!
00:30:30You took the spotlight again!
00:30:37It was a pleasure meeting both of you.
00:30:39Enjoy your meal.
00:30:41You're welcome.
00:30:44Good evening.
00:30:45What can I give you guys tonight?
00:30:47Um, we will have two of the chef's special, please.
00:30:51Chef's special?
00:30:52And then can we also order a bottle of the Romanae Conte?
00:30:55Mmm.
00:30:57Oh!
00:30:58Can you two even afford them?
00:30:59You're gonna need to do some dishes in the back after you get the bill.
00:31:04It's none of your business.
00:31:06She's just trying to stop you from embarrassing yourself, like you always do.
00:31:10Well, um, with the wines of that exclusive tier, we do require a payment in advance.
00:31:15Would you mind putting the card down?
00:31:18I guess your check hasn't cleared yet, huh?
00:31:21Hey, hey.
00:31:22I got it.
00:31:23Sorry.
00:31:25Here you are, my son.
00:31:29Oh, this is a Caprio Roop's CEO with a private gold card.
00:31:39Are you really the owner of Caprio?
00:31:42No, that's impossible.
00:31:44This is just my ex-wife's boy toy.
00:31:47He definitely, he doesn't own that card.
00:31:49Um, get the POS machine.
00:31:51We'll see how real that card really is.
00:31:53Okay.
00:32:03I knew it!
00:32:04I knew it!
00:32:06Really?
00:32:07Big gold card?
00:32:08Stop pretending.
00:32:10Gigolo.
00:32:11That card doesn't work with regular machines.
00:32:14Can you call for your manager, please?
00:32:16You must be a chicken crossing the road, because you're a fucking joke.
00:32:19The two of you claiming to be Ellie Spears, and now he's pretending to be the...
00:32:22the CEO of Caprio?
00:32:25I mean, come on, be serious.
00:32:27You still don't believe who I am.
00:32:30Or is it that you're just afraid to admit that I'm better than you?
00:32:35I am a top-tier attorney.
00:32:37I will have you know.
00:32:38I've won countless cases, and you, you got lucky once.
00:32:41And I still think you fucked that judge.
00:32:43Enough of this nonsense, okay?
00:32:45Get them out.
00:32:46They are disturbing our meal.
00:32:48Look closely.
00:32:49This is my VIP card.
00:32:52The real deal.
00:32:53Don't waste your time with these frauds.
00:32:56I'm sorry.
00:32:58I'm gonna have to ask you guys to eat.
00:33:01Bye-bye.
00:33:02Stand down.
00:33:03Right now.
00:33:06My deepest apologies, Mr. Caprio.
00:33:11My staff is gravely offended to you.
00:33:20No, no, no, impossible.
00:33:22Get them out.
00:33:24How dare you?
00:33:26I am a VIP member of this club.
00:33:28Here's my card.
00:33:29Not anymore.
00:33:30From this moment on, you are banned from every Caprio group.
00:33:42Okay, now we can enjoy our dinner.
00:33:50No wonder Ellie won that case.
00:33:53She latched onto Caprio group's CEO.
00:33:57No.
00:33:57There's no way that little shit is the real CEO.
00:34:00He must have staged that whole scene with the manager.
00:34:02They'll regret this.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:05Next week, my uncle is going to announce your promotion to the partners.
00:34:11I'll make sure that the whole industry blacklists them by then.
00:34:18So, you really are the owner of Caprio group.
00:34:21Yeah, well I was just kind of a sidekick for me, you know.
00:34:25Will Caprio?
00:34:27Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:34:30Ellie, you know, it was actually you.
00:34:33Will?
00:34:36What are the odds?
00:34:37It is so good to see you.
00:34:42So good to see you.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:46We're not that close.
00:34:49Uh, and this is?
00:34:51I'm sorry.
00:34:52This is Sarah.
00:34:53Sarah.
00:34:54She's an old family friend.
00:34:57And who are you?
00:35:01Excuse me.
00:35:01We're on a date.
00:35:02If you can give us some privacy, please.
00:35:12I'm sorry her and I are just-
00:35:13No, no.
00:35:14You don't have to explain.
00:35:17I'm just going to go to the bathroom.
00:35:24Ellie, you're the only one I care about.
00:35:26If it wasn't for you helping me three years ago,
00:35:28I would not be where I am today.
00:35:55Will and I have been promised to each other since childhood.
00:35:58I'm his fiancee.
00:36:01No, you've got the wrong idea. Will is just my assistant.
00:36:05Will? The CEO of Caprio Group is your assistant? How?
00:36:12Are you afraid I'm a threat to you?
00:36:14As if I could be threatened by a washed up old woman.
00:36:19Then stop bothering me.
00:36:27You better stay away from Will.
00:36:30Consider this your only warning.
00:36:33Hey, let go of her.
00:36:36Ellie, Ellie. What did you do to her?
00:36:39I was just protecting you. She's a manipulative woman.
00:36:43You hurt her? I will never forgive you.
00:36:54No. Don't go.
00:36:59I'm not going anywhere.
00:37:13No, my baby!
00:37:17Bad dream?
00:37:21I dreamt about my baby.
00:37:24She didn't even have a chance to live.
00:37:28They killed her.
00:37:31I hate them.
00:37:40Whatever they've done, they're going to pay.
00:37:48You are sick and I've said this!
00:37:51No.
00:37:54It's like ...
00:37:59I'm sick with you.
00:37:59You do.
00:38:03You're sick with you, buddy.
00:38:07You're sick with me.
00:38:08I'm sick with you.
00:38:10You're sick with me.
00:38:10You're sick with me.
00:38:10You're, you're sick with me you.
00:38:11You're sick with me.
00:38:13It's... it's him.
00:38:25You... you're the college kid who came to be my assistant.
00:38:30Three years ago the Capra group was falsely accused and our SS froze the world.
00:38:35They turned their back on us.
00:38:38You were the only person who reached out with a helping hand.
00:38:43So everything you've done has just been repaying a debt?
00:38:46No. You saved my family's legacy.
00:38:51What I feel for you is more than gratitude.
00:39:11Well...
00:39:26I almost forgot about this.
00:39:29According to the original plan George would be promoted to partner.
00:39:33Not anymore.
00:39:37Do you want to be my date?
00:39:44George is about to be named the new partner.
00:39:48Spark Law's head boss already signed off on it.
00:39:52The big boss personally approved it?
00:39:54The firm has been around for years and he's never once shown his face.
00:39:59Will he be here today?
00:40:08Could that be him?
00:40:12George, go read him.
00:40:14Do I look good?
00:40:15Yes.
00:40:16Amazing.
00:40:30What?
00:40:34What?
00:40:35What are they doing here?
00:40:40This is an exclusive banquet and you two weren't invited.
00:40:46Let me see.
00:40:50This is an invitation for Ellie Spears.
00:40:54Not you.
00:40:57Still pretending to be Ellie Spears I see.
00:40:59Ha!
00:41:00You are unbelievable.
00:41:02Well if I'm not Ellie Spears then why do I have an invitation with her name?
00:41:11What are you doing?
00:41:12Because it's a fake!
00:41:15I thought I'd save everyone the trouble.
00:41:18What is going on here?
00:41:20Uncle Thomas!
00:41:25These frauds are causing trouble.
00:41:29I'm sorry, this is Ellie Spears.
00:41:31The Queen of Law.
00:41:32She just won Moses' case.
00:41:35Oh, it's really her.
00:41:36I saw her on the news.
00:41:38It's an honor, Miss Spears.
00:41:41Please, come in.
00:41:42We'd love to discuss the possibility of you joining us as a partner.
00:41:52She's not trying to steal my partnership position, is she?
00:41:54Your big boss has already signed off on the promotion.
00:41:58Okay.
00:41:58So, relax.
00:42:01If you join Spark Law, name your terms.
00:42:04I'll make it happen.
00:42:06Oh.
00:42:07Well actually...
00:42:08Wait a minute!
00:42:14Uncle Thomas?
00:42:15She stole that case from George.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:20She's his ex-wife.
00:42:22She took the Lewis files before the divorce.
00:42:25Is this true?
00:42:27Sadly, yes.
00:42:28Before our divorce, I always had her organize my documents.
00:42:31If she can steal one of George's clients, she'll do it to the firm too.
00:42:35She's a threat!
00:42:36No wonder she won.
00:42:38That was Lenny's work.
00:42:40We can't have someone like that in this law firm.
00:42:43A room full of lawyers and you believe these baseless accusations?
00:42:49I'd be incredibly disappointed if this was the standard at Spark Law.
00:42:53I invited you out of respect, welcomed you as a guest, and you have the audacity to turn around and
00:42:58insult my firm.
00:42:59You made a big mistake. Huge!
00:43:02No firm will ever hire you again.
00:43:04And what do you plan to do about it?
00:43:06One word for me and you'll be blacklisted.
00:43:09Not just here, but no firm in the country will ever take you on.
00:43:13Okay.
00:43:15I'll just open it for myself, bro.
00:43:18Yeah, right, like you have that kind of money.
00:43:20Excuse me.
00:43:22Money is absolutely of no concern to me.
00:43:27No, you gotta look.
00:43:48Will!
00:43:49Will!
00:43:50All that money!
00:43:51I was gonna open you a firm.
00:43:53Um, by surprise.
00:43:55Guess I just had to do a little sooner than I hoped.
00:43:58The cash.
00:43:59Is he really CEO of Caprio?
00:44:02No!
00:44:03Impossible!
00:44:04These could be fake bills for all we know.
00:44:09Ladies and gentlemen.
00:44:11If any of you are interested, the doors are open at all times.
00:44:15Double the salary.
00:44:16Double the benefits.
00:44:17Sign contracts.
00:44:19Everything in writing.
00:44:21Double the salaries?
00:44:23That's an insane offer.
00:44:25Wait, a makeshift.
00:44:27A company built on money.
00:44:29What future does that have?
00:44:30Listen.
00:44:31We are here for George's promotion.
00:44:35A promotional partner's annual salary that's worth $10 million.
00:44:40This could be you, too.
00:44:45Think long term.
00:44:47Staying with Spark Law Firm means security.
00:44:50Prestige.
00:44:51The real power.
00:44:53Babe, sign it!
00:44:54Ah, yes.
00:44:55This is your moment.
00:44:56Ah, yes.
00:44:58I've been waiting for this.
00:44:59Wait!
00:45:01I don't approve.
00:45:04I don't approve.
00:45:06Who the hell are you to say you don't approve?
00:45:09I am Ellie Spears.
00:45:11Founder of Spark Law.
00:45:13Your head boss.
00:45:16Enough!
00:45:17First, you pretend to be Ellie Spears.
00:45:19Now you claim to be the owner of Spark Law Firm?
00:45:22Uh, hello, crazy town.
00:45:23I think I found your mayor.
00:45:25You have lost it, woman!
00:45:26The real owner is the CEO of Cereal.
00:45:29A global powerhouse.
00:45:31And you are just a divorced housewife!
00:45:35Wake up already.
00:45:37I can't believe I gave up my career to be a housewife to this self-absorbed idiot.
00:45:45But now I'm back to take what's mine.
00:45:48Spark Law Firm has always belonged to me.
00:45:52Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:45:53We're supposed to just take your word for it?
00:45:55I've been a senior partner at this firm and I've never seen you in my life.
00:45:59That's because you started later.
00:46:01Enough of this nonsense.
00:46:03Jason, the original founder of this company, will be here any minute now.
00:46:08Security, security, please.
00:46:09Get this lunatic out of here before she ruins it.
00:46:12Hey, touch her.
00:46:13You're gonna regret it.
00:46:13This is a Spark Law event, not Little DiCaprio's playground.
00:46:19Oh, how the tables have turned.
00:46:22Now you'll know what it tastes like to be thrown away like trash.
00:46:27Well, perhaps you should hold that thought until Jason arrives.
00:46:32You don't deserve to meet him.
00:46:39Let's go.
00:46:39Let's go.
00:46:46And you are?
00:46:48This is George Lenny, the new partner the boss approved for a promotion.
00:46:51Has the contract been signed?
00:46:56Is there a problem?
00:46:58Well, we had a little disruption during the banquet, so we had to pause the signing.
00:47:02But don't worry, we are taking care of the troublemakers as we speak.
00:47:06A disruption.
00:47:07Sir, it's, um, my ex-wife.
00:47:10You know how that goes.
00:47:12She's just here to cause trouble and try to sabotage me.
00:47:15And not only that, she even made a fake invitation under Ellie Spears' name and had the audacity to pretend
00:47:22she was our firm's boss.
00:47:23Oh, but don't worry, sir. There's nothing to worry about.
00:47:26We're going to make sure that the industry blacklists them.
00:47:28No one will tarnish Spark Law firms' reputation.
00:47:32Interesting.
00:47:33I'd love to see who would impersonate our founding owner.
00:47:37It's her!
00:47:41Sir, I know you must be furious right now, but no need to get yourself involved.
00:47:46I'll take care of this and I will make sure that that woman-
00:47:51Welcome back now.
00:47:53I've waited far too long for this day.
00:47:58Sir, I think there's been a mistake.
00:48:00The only mistake here is you!
00:48:03She's the founder of our company.
00:48:06Our boss!
00:48:08No, no, no.
00:48:09That's impossible!
00:48:11Yes, the founder of Spark Law Firm is also supposed to be the CEO of Serial Group.
00:48:15You think I don't know that?
00:48:16Oh, I didn't know that.
00:48:18Okay, enough! Enough!
00:48:20Jason is one of the founding members of the firm.
00:48:23So if he says she's the boss, she's the damn boss.
00:48:25Now you two, apologize.
00:48:27I am...
00:48:31I'm sorry.
00:48:33I, too, am...
00:48:35I'm bored of this.
00:48:38Let's go.
00:48:39Gladly.
00:48:43Ellen!
00:48:45I'm sorry.
00:48:47I had no idea they'd treat you like that.
00:48:49It's fine.
00:48:49I've been gone for three years.
00:48:51I...
00:48:51I shouldn't have expected them to remember me.
00:48:53But now that I'm back,
00:48:55I'll handle this myself.
00:48:57You won't be alone either.
00:49:01My new boyfriend?
00:49:03Oh, I'm...
00:49:04I'm sorry.
00:49:04I'm Will.
00:49:05Will Caprio.
00:49:09Pleasure to meet you.
00:49:11Oh, here.
00:49:20This is your part of the profits for the past few years.
00:49:22Without you, Spark wouldn't exist.
00:49:26We're in this together.
00:49:28I knew something was off.
00:49:31Your job might be in jeopardy, too.
00:49:33What?
00:49:34Uncle Thomas.
00:49:35George.
00:49:36I just saw Jason hand Ellie a check.
00:49:39Jason is trying to buy himself a fake boss to get the rest of us out.
00:49:43Yes.
00:49:44We must expose this fraud.
00:49:45Exactly.
00:49:55Thanks.
00:49:56Yeah.
00:49:58Um...
00:49:59Jason thought we were together.
00:50:00Why didn't you correct him?
00:50:02I didn't correct him because I wanted to be true.
00:50:06Well, thank you, Will, but the only thing I care about right now is taking back what's mine and avenging
00:50:14my unborn child.
00:50:16I know, Will.
00:50:18But I want to be with you, courtroom or Spark.
00:50:22Whatever you choose.
00:50:28As the rightful owner of Spark Law Firm, I have an announcement.
00:50:33Effective immediately, Thomas is hereby strict with his partnership.
00:50:38George and Barbara, you're both fired.
00:50:42You can't do that.
00:50:43This is just bitterness.
00:50:45Because George left you for me.
00:50:52According to recent investigations, you three have been embezzling clients' funds through unethical arrangements.
00:50:58Clear violation.
00:50:59Affirm policy.
00:51:00And who the hell are you to sit in on our meeting?
00:51:03He's my assistant.
00:51:04That's reason enough.
00:51:06Don't listen to her.
00:51:07She's just a fraud.
00:51:13She is not the real Ellie Spears.
00:51:15She just used Jason to play us.
00:51:18That's right.
00:51:19She's just a fraud.
00:51:22She has no right to fire us.
00:51:27That check was just my profits from the prop.
00:51:32Oh, come on.
00:51:33You expect us, intelligent people, to believe that horse shit?
00:51:36Face it.
00:51:38Jason was just scared that my uncle would take his position.
00:51:42So we hired you to play boss and clean house for him.
00:51:47If you're questioning Ellie's identity, you're going to need more proof than that.
00:51:52A blurry photo isn't going to hold up to you.
00:51:54You can all question whatever you want.
00:51:56I am Ellie Spears, rightful owner of Spark Law Firm.
00:52:01Well, if you're so sure of yourself, why don't you prove it?
00:52:05Why don't you open up the safe box?
00:52:09Wait, you mean the safe box with the Sparks funding documents?
00:52:14Indeed I do.
00:52:23This is the original safe box.
00:52:26Only the real owner knows the code.
00:52:29What's the matter, Ellie?
00:52:30I feel like you're busted.
00:52:32Lying about being boss is one thing.
00:52:35But conspiring with firm members?
00:52:39That's a crime.
00:52:46All right, I'll open it.
00:52:49But first, a bet.
00:52:51Bet?
00:52:53What bet?
00:52:55If I fail, I'll turn myself in.
00:52:58If I succeed, you have to slap yourself across the face, apologize, and admit you were wrong.
00:53:13Fine, I accept.
00:53:17You're doomed, Ellie.
00:53:19Oh, deal.
00:53:21Being a partner of Spark Law Firm, I am a man of-
00:53:24Yeah, I don't believe that.
00:53:26Can you just say that again? I'd like to get recorded.
00:53:30You-
00:53:30Watch your mouth.
00:53:32Unless you're eager for another lesson.
00:53:34What's wrong?
00:53:35What's wrong?
00:53:35What's wrong?
00:53:35What's wrong?
00:53:35I'm feeling nervous.
00:53:37Nervous?
00:53:37You're the only loser here.
00:53:39Fine. Let's make it official.
00:53:41You rolling?
00:53:43I, George Lenny, agree that if you somehow open up this safe box, I will slap myself in the face
00:53:49and admit it.
00:53:50All right, enough talk. Will you just open up the damn box?
00:53:53As much.
00:54:13You don't know the password.
00:54:16You-
00:54:16You're not the boss.
00:54:18You all saw it for yourselves.
00:54:20First she tries to impersonate Emily Spears and now she can't open the safe because she's not the CEO.
00:54:27You lost.
00:54:28Now turn yourself in.
00:54:30Enough!
00:54:35It's been three years since I set that password. I- I hit the wrong key.
00:54:41Bullshit! If you knew the password, you would have gotten it right the first time.
00:54:44Just refreshing my memory. I've got it now.
00:54:46No, absolutely not. If you type in the wrong code twice, it permanently locks. We lose what's ever in there
00:54:53forever.
00:54:55Oh, can you take on that risk?
00:54:58Ah, or maybe. You're trying to destroy whatever's in there.
00:55:03All right, enough of this, okay? Let's get her out. This is ridiculous. Come on. Out.
00:55:10Whoa, whoa, hey. Give her one more try. I'll take the responsibility.
00:55:17I'll take the responsibility.
00:55:18The firm's most confidential files are in that safe box. Are you sure you can handle those consequences?
00:55:23I'm the CEO of the Caprio Group. Whatever happens, I'm pretty sure I can repay it.
00:55:27Weaving your money around won't fix this. Some things aren't for sale.
00:55:32Well, at least I'm not using women to climb the ladder.
00:55:36I will not stand for this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:55:38Hey, hey, hey. It's fine, Will. I can handle this myself.
00:55:42I'd really like to.
00:55:43Shut the fuck up! Nobody gives a damn about your love story.
00:55:46Well then, get out of the way and let me set the password.
00:55:49No, you will not. This box holds the funding files, documents, money we can't get back if it locks.
00:55:56We're all in deep shit.
00:55:57The only people who are going to be in trouble are you three.
00:56:08You're insane! She could ruin us all!
00:56:22Well, now it's open.
00:56:24How do you know the code? Are you really the owner?
00:56:29Oh, wait, wait, wait. It is a four digit lock. She probably just guessed and she got lucky.
00:56:35Yes, exactly. She tried twice. That's pure luck. Doesn't prove anything.
00:56:39How much proof do you people need?
00:56:42Fine. Opening the safe isn't enough?
00:56:47How about this?
00:56:50That's the shareholder document.
00:56:56And I am Ellie Spears.
00:57:01And I am Ellie Spears.
00:57:04She proved who she is.
00:57:07You lose.
00:57:08Who's?
00:57:11Now, about our little wager.
00:57:14Which one of you will be slapping themselves first?
00:57:17Oh, well, no volunteers who won't mind if I help them.
00:57:20Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:57:23I'm here to do the honor.
00:57:24Enough of this.
00:57:26I don't know how you scammed your way to get a hold of these shares.
00:57:29What I do know is you're a liar.
00:57:32Because the CEO of the Serial Group is a man.
00:57:38Alright, I saw it myself.
00:57:40Jason was reporting to the CEO of the Serial Group and he was a man.
00:57:44That was just my representative who was stepping in while I was trying to start a family.
00:57:49What a joke that turned out to be.
00:57:51You couldn't even be a good wife.
00:57:54What makes you think you could build a family, let alone run a major corporation?
00:57:58You are a cuckoo woman!
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:01You want to cling to your delusion?
00:58:03Then I'll have someone down here who can bring you back to reality.
00:58:08Hi, yes, if you could be in the Spark conference room in ten minutes?
00:58:13Yes, ma'am. She's there in ten.
00:58:16Oh, come on!
00:58:18Are we gonna believe this?
00:58:19That you're gonna hire some actor from Central Casting and we're gonna believe it?
00:58:22If Serial Group gets wind of this, we're all screwed.
00:58:25Get her out of here!
00:58:28Sit down.
00:58:30Try it.
00:58:31You're gonna regret it.
00:58:34Relax, everyone. My representative will be here in ten minutes.
00:58:37And then we'll see who the real boss is.
00:58:43Now we'll see how you fake it.
00:58:47Oh, there he is. The true CEO of Serial Group.
00:58:51Welcome, sir.
00:58:52Now that the real boss is here, why don't we, uh, get to it?
00:58:58Boss? You call for me?
00:59:02Um.
00:59:06Aren't you the real CEO of the Spark Law Firm and the Serial Group? Why are you calling her boss?
00:59:11Miss Spears is the actual boss.
00:59:14I am just a representative.
00:59:16No, no, no, no, no. This can't be true.
00:59:18Are you fucking with me?
00:59:20That's how she got the shares!
00:59:21You two are enormous together, aren't you?
00:59:23Don't let her fool you, okay?
00:59:26She seduced the CEO of Caprio Group the second she got divorced.
00:59:30She even roped Jason from the firm in on her plan.
00:59:33She is nothing but a scheme!
00:59:36Enough!
00:59:37One more word, and you're gonna regret it.
00:59:40Sir, I don't want to get involved in your personal affairs, but...
00:59:44Ellie stood in the way of my promotion. It was you that promoted me!
00:59:48You fucking idiot.
00:59:51The only reason that you even considered for that promotion is because she backed you from the shadows.
00:59:57She built you up, and you abandoned her.
01:00:01Only to just stand there slandering her now.
01:00:04It wasn't Barbara and her uncle that helped me get into Spark?
01:00:15Listen!
01:00:17Ellie Spears is the most extraordinary woman that I know.
01:00:20A Harvard Law prodigy.
01:00:22An undefeated legal powerhouse.
01:00:25She's not just the founder of Spark's Law,
01:00:27but she built the serial empire.
01:00:31Yes!
01:00:44Wait!
01:00:47You...
01:00:48You are really the boss.
01:00:49It was you that helped me to get into Spark Law Firm?
01:00:52And get the Lewis case.
01:00:56Ellie...
01:00:56Move!
01:00:58I need to speak with my wife.
01:00:59George, our marriage is over.
01:01:03She's the most perfect girl you could have ever had.
01:01:05You cheated on her and threw it all away.
01:01:09How stupid could you be?
01:01:14George, she has been lying to you this entire time.
01:01:19She is nothing to-
01:01:21Shut up!
01:01:22This is all your fault.
01:01:24For and for you, I never would have betrayed Ellie.
01:01:26Are you blaming me?
01:01:28Yes!
01:01:29Funny, because when you were climbing into my bed,
01:01:32you weren't saying any of that.
01:01:35You stop it!
01:01:36Hey!
01:01:37You going somewhere?
01:01:39Let's not forget our wager.
01:01:42Which one of you will be slapping themselves first?
01:01:44Like hell I will.
01:01:50Uncle!
01:01:51My apologies boss.
01:01:55Need a hand?
01:01:57Wait, wait, wait.
01:01:59I'll do it.
01:02:10Sorry.
01:02:12Please forgive me.
01:02:13You call that a slap?
01:02:18That's more like it.
01:02:20There you go.
01:02:21And now the apology comes far too late.
01:02:24You're all fired.
01:02:25And you will all be held accountable for your illegal actions.
01:02:29So be ready.
01:02:30Ellie, I did what you asked.
01:02:32Yeah, but that was just for the bet.
01:02:34You have to pay for everything else.
01:02:37Security!
01:02:38Hands off me!
01:02:39I'm leaving.
01:02:40Can we just-
01:02:41Hear from me!
01:02:42Can we just discuss this?
01:02:45Look at you.
01:02:47Finally back to where you belong.
01:02:49Thank you for standing by me.
01:02:51It is my honor.
01:02:55We are so glad that you are back boss.
01:02:57As you can see, everything is as it was.
01:03:01Welcome home.
01:03:15You really shouldn't be here.
01:03:18Ellie.
01:03:19I messed up.
01:03:21I fucking suck.
01:03:22I'm sorry.
01:03:23Please.
01:03:24Give me another chance.
01:03:25We're divorced.
01:03:27If you come in here again, I'll have you charged for harassment.
01:03:36I know you're mad at me.
01:03:38I did some horrible things.
01:03:41But I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
01:03:44You are and always will be the most important woman in my life.
01:03:51Enough, George.
01:03:53You make me sick.
01:03:56Hitting me helps.
01:03:58Fine.
01:03:59As long as you forgive me, I will do whatever it takes.
01:04:03You think I'll believe a word that comes out of your mouth?
01:04:10I know you still care.
01:04:12I had some good times.
01:04:14You cared so much that you gave up spark and cereal for me.
01:04:18Stop it.
01:04:20Now, get out of here before I call the cops.
01:04:23I can't believe you would be so heartless.
01:04:26Please.
01:04:28Please.
01:04:29Ellie, I need you in my life.
01:04:30Let go of me.
01:04:32Please.
01:04:33Don't touch her.
01:04:36Stay out of this.
01:04:37This is between me and my wife.
01:04:39Ellie is my girlfriend now.
01:04:45Ellie is my girlfriend now.
01:04:49You bastard.
01:04:53Takes one to know one.
01:04:55Security, get him out of here.
01:04:57He's not allowed to set foot in this company again.
01:04:59Wait, ma'am.
01:05:02Ellie.
01:05:03You can't be with him.
01:05:04He's lying to you.
01:05:05He's only with you for your money.
01:05:08Think about it.
01:05:09Wake up.
01:05:10He's too young.
01:05:11Pretty boy.
01:05:12Why would he be a divorced woman like you?
01:05:15He's gonna leave you for someone to-
01:05:17Shut your mouth.
01:05:19Why?
01:05:20Because I'm telling the truth.
01:05:22Are you done?
01:05:24What's the matter?
01:05:25Struck a nerve?
01:05:26Okay.
01:05:27Since you're so curious.
01:05:48I like Ellie.
01:05:49And if she wanted to, I would tell the whole world that we're together.
01:05:54Ellie.
01:05:55I can't believe him.
01:05:56He's lying to you.
01:05:57That's for me to decide.
01:05:59And what happens between me and Will, is none of your concern.
01:06:11I know what you did was just to stand up for you.
01:06:15I meant what I said.
01:06:17I love you, Ellie.
01:06:21Will, I'm so much older than you.
01:06:23I've been married and I lost a baby.
01:06:28That doesn't matter anymore.
01:06:31What matters is that I...
01:06:34I love you.
01:06:36No.
01:06:37You need to go.
01:06:38No.
01:06:38I...
01:06:41I just need time.
01:06:43I can wait.
01:07:00I need to clear things up with Will.
01:07:10Will?
01:07:12You?
01:07:13What are you doing here?
01:07:17Why are you here?
01:07:19I just had a romantic evening with Will.
01:07:25He's only with you for your money.
01:07:27Think about it.
01:07:28Wake up.
01:07:28He's too young.
01:07:30He's a pretty boy.
01:07:31Why would he be with a divorced woman like you?
01:07:33He's gonna leave you for someone else.
01:07:38No.
01:07:39Will isn't that kind of person.
01:07:40I need to talk to Will.
01:07:42Will doesn't have time to talk to you.
01:07:45Did you really think something happened between you two?
01:07:49Pathetic.
01:07:50Is that what he said?
01:07:51Why wouldn't he say it?
01:07:53Do you really think he'd fall for someone like you?
01:07:58Keep your hand off me.
01:08:00Stay away from Will.
01:08:02Don't come looking for him.
01:08:03Next time I ask, it won't be so nice.
01:08:07Sir, who's down there?
01:08:09Darling, it's just a guest.
01:08:11I can handle it.
01:08:13No need for you to worry.
01:08:16Ellie?
01:08:17Sorry.
01:08:19Seems I shouldn't have come.
01:08:20Ellie.
01:08:23Ellie.
01:08:24Wait.
01:08:27Wait.
01:08:29Hey.
01:08:30She came here so I can end things with her.
01:08:32She spilled some shit on her and she just took a shower.
01:08:34That's it. Nothing happened.
01:08:35Bill, why are you explaining so much to her?
01:08:38Enough!
01:08:39It's Ellie I love and only Ellie.
01:08:41But I'm your fiancé!
01:08:43Okay.
01:08:43Okay, that was an arrangement made by her parents.
01:08:45You mean nothing to me.
01:08:49You conniving bitch!
01:08:51What did you do to make Will lust after you, huh?
01:08:54When my parents died and my company failed, where were you?
01:08:57Ellie was the only one who helped them.
01:08:58No condition, no hesitation.
01:09:01No condition, no hesitation.
01:09:01You will never measure up during her.
01:09:04Get out of my house now or I'm calling the cops for your trespass.
01:09:14So, that was your fiancé.
01:09:16Ellie, I never agreed anything that wasn't...
01:09:18I swear, Ellie, you're the only one I...
01:09:20Will.
01:09:22I'll be fair.
01:09:38I apologize.
01:09:41Bye.
01:09:42Bye.
01:09:44Bye.
01:10:01You sure you want to do this?
01:10:03Seeing you with that other woman being jealous.
01:10:06I want you, Will.
01:10:29Hey, you're Ellie's ex-husband, aren't you?
01:10:38I think we could make a great team.
01:10:43Who... who are you?
01:10:45Someone who can help you get back on your feet?
01:10:48Tell me, don't you want a cut of Ellie Spears' fortune?
01:10:55And to teach her a lesson that she'll never forget.
01:11:13What?! George Lenny is suing me?!
01:11:18Fine. I'll face him in court. And this time I'll destroy him.
01:11:28Whatever happens, I'm gonna be there with you.
01:11:42Sarah, what are you doing here?
01:11:44I just came to watch the show. The woman you love is being sued by her ex-husband.
01:11:50It's gotta say something about her character, right?
01:11:53It's none of your business.
01:11:54Let's watch and find out.
01:11:57Ellie, today I finally take back what's rightfully mine.
01:12:01George, you really have no shame, do you? I gave you everything you asked for.
01:12:07And the divorce. And now you come for my money?
01:12:11Yeah, well, we'll see what the judge says.
01:12:18Court is now in session.
01:12:21Your Honor, this is an open and shut case.
01:12:24My ex-wife, Ellie Spears, deliberately concealed her true identity and vast wealth before our marriage.
01:12:32Directly and explicitly violating the principles and the integrity of honesty in marital law.
01:12:39Your Honor, my company was established long before our marriage and has nothing to do with George Lenny.
01:12:46Furthermore, he was unfaithful multiple times during our marriage.
01:12:51According to marital law, he has forfeited any rights to my assets.
01:12:55Your Honor, I deny all those allegations.
01:12:58And second, are we to believe that you and your assistant, Will, are completely innocent?
01:13:06Our relationship began after you two divorced.
01:13:10Liar! I have evidence proving that they were involved long before the marriage.
01:13:18This photo was taken three years ago right outside at this very courthouse.
01:13:24They knew each other all along.
01:13:26Objection.
01:13:27Knowing someone and being in a relationship with someone are two very different things.
01:13:31Overruled.
01:13:31The plaintiff may continue.
01:13:33Thank you, Your Honor.
01:13:35Will Caprio, answer me this.
01:13:37During the three years in which Mrs. Spears and I were married, did you or did you not have an
01:13:43affair of a sexual nature?
01:13:46No.
01:13:47I cared for her from afar, but I never interfered with her life.
01:13:50Cute.
01:13:51And do you expect any of us to believe that?
01:13:55Not a chance.
01:13:57George, I thought you actually had something substantial, but this is the best you've got?
01:14:03How about we take a look at all the evidence I have of your affairs?
01:14:09That's ridiculous.
01:14:11There's no such thing.
01:14:13Oh, are you sure I have footage of your office affair with Barbara?
01:14:18I was always careful.
01:14:20Barbara and I only met in my office or at my apartment.
01:14:24She couldn't possibly have proof.
01:14:26Go ahead.
01:14:27Show me what you got.
01:14:29As you wish.
01:14:44That idiot!
01:14:46No!
01:14:47Stop!
01:14:47Stop the video!
01:14:48Your Honor, the footage is from the office security cameras.
01:14:51It's authentic and verifiable.
01:14:54Your Honor, this evidence is obtained illegally.
01:14:57She put security cameras inside the law office?
01:15:00That's a violation of my privacy.
01:15:02The cameras are in a public space to keep company information private.
01:15:06You decided to have an affair in that public space.
01:15:10Your Honor, this is outrageous.
01:15:12She's spying on her employees.
01:15:14That's a violation of labor laws, at least.
01:15:18Maybe more.
01:15:19Everyone signs a consent form when they enter the law firm.
01:15:22You're welcome to check if you'd like.
01:15:24You still can't show my private videos in public.
01:15:27It's not private videos.
01:15:28It's evidence of your infidelity.
01:15:31I was set up.
01:15:32That's right.
01:15:33Barbara drugged and seduced me.
01:15:36So, once again, it is someone else's fault.
01:15:39Yeah, George, if that were true, you should have called the police.
01:15:42I did not have sex with that woman.
01:15:46And, I have a witness to prove it.
01:15:50Call the plaintiff's witness.
01:16:03Your Honor, I testify that Ellie has been deceiving George
01:16:10all along.
01:16:12Not only has she lied about her true identity and her wealth, but she's been cheating.
01:16:19Cheating repeatedly during their marriage.
01:16:23And her little new assistant, little Caprio, is just one of her many lovers.
01:16:31Objection.
01:16:32Your Honor, this witness's statement is entirely false.
01:16:36Overruled.
01:16:37I admit that I drugged George without his knowledge and took advantage of him.
01:16:42I take full responsibility for my actions.
01:16:49Barbara's help and George.
01:16:51I thought they turned on each other.
01:16:56Well, I win that case and get my fair share of Ellie's fortune.
01:17:02I'll split it with you.
01:17:0450-50.
01:17:05Hmm.
01:17:06Deal.
01:17:11Your Honor, the testimony that you just heard is the truth.
01:17:16I would never betray my wife.
01:17:18Give me a break.
01:17:20The entire firm knew you two were having an affair.
01:17:23That was just an act.
01:17:25George did that to spite you, to get back at you.
01:17:29What's the matter, Ellie?
01:17:30No comeback?
01:17:31I'll tell you what.
01:17:32I'm feeling generous.
01:17:33You sign over, spark law firm to me, and half the shares in cereal.
01:17:38Then I might consider settling half court.
01:17:43Joe?
01:17:44Joe?
01:17:45Ellie?
01:17:46My terms aren't unreasonable, are they?
01:17:48You know, George, there was a time when you could have had all of this.
01:17:57What are you talking about?
01:17:59Before the divorce, I planned on giving you half of my shares.
01:18:04But you destroyed that with your own two hands.
01:18:07You pushed me down and you killed our child.
01:18:14Child?
01:18:15What child?
01:18:16What the hell are you talking about?
01:18:19Oh, cut the act.
01:18:21We were married for three years.
01:18:23There was never any child.
01:18:24You can't even get pregnant.
01:18:26Why do you think I was with Barbara in the first place?
01:18:32So you admit that you cheated with Barbara?
01:18:34Don't change the subject.
01:18:36Ellie, you're just making up lies to win this case.
01:18:39It's disgusting.
01:18:40Your Honor, these are my medical reports from the hospital.
01:18:47Bunch of bullshit, I bet.
01:18:53Attorney Lenny.
01:18:55Hand over the evidence.
01:18:59Listen.
01:19:00You can't be real.
01:19:02You were pregnant?
01:19:04Why didn't you tell me?
01:19:06I texted you the day after I found you making out in the office with Barbara.
01:19:12Bullshit.
01:19:13That's bullshit.
01:19:14I never got any damn message.
01:19:18It was you.
01:19:19I don't know what you're talking about.
01:19:24If you made me lose our child, George, I'm not giving you a dime.
01:19:33And I'm going to make sure that you lose everything you have left.
01:19:39Plaintiff, do you have anything else to say on your behalf?
01:19:43Yes, yes.
01:19:45Your Honor, I've got it.
01:19:46What if the baby wasn't mine?
01:19:50What if it was his all along?
01:19:57The baby wasn't mine.
01:19:58What if it was his all along?
01:20:01Bastard.
01:20:02How could you even say something like that?
01:20:04Will, stop.
01:20:09Your Honor, Ellie Spears, my ex-wife, was unfaithful through the length of a long marriage.
01:20:15And now she's making up lies and accusing me.
01:20:20Ellie, we never met after Ellie was married to you.
01:20:22I was not even in the country during the pregnancy.
01:20:25So what if it wasn't you?
01:20:26It could have been someone else.
01:20:28Slut.
01:20:29Enough, George.
01:20:32You are just tossing your filth at me to cover your sins.
01:20:38For the last three years, I have given up my career to be your wife.
01:20:45To protect your fragile ego, I hid my true identity.
01:20:50I handed you the Lewis case in hopes that you would win and get the promotion and then I could
01:20:57share with you who I really was.
01:20:59But you destroyed all that and you killed our child.
01:21:04And now you stand here and slander me?
01:21:07Say whatever you want.
01:21:09Now that you've lost the baby, how can you prove it's mine?
01:21:13I can prove it.
01:21:17I can prove it.
01:21:18What the hell are you doing?
01:21:20Ellie never cheated.
01:21:21It was me.
01:21:23I had an affair with George.
01:21:25Shut the fuck up.
01:21:26He promised me a cut of whatever he won from this lawsuit, bribing me to lie in this court.
01:21:32You're insane, Your Honor. She's insane.
01:21:35Is this your doing?
01:21:37Since when are you two conspiring with each other?
01:21:39No, I didn't.
01:21:40I'm not doing this for her.
01:21:42No, I'm doing this for myself.
01:21:44You are the type of man to deny your own child for a payout?
01:21:50Why in the hell would I trust you?
01:21:52You retrous bitch!
01:21:56It's over, George.
01:21:59Based on the jury's verdict, this court fines for the defendant, Ms. Ellie Spears.
01:22:08The plaintiff, Mr. George Lenny, is ordered to pay $50 million in damages.
01:22:16$50 million? I don't have that kind of money. That would take me a lifetime to pay back.
01:22:23George Lenny?
01:22:24Jesus Christ, what now?
01:22:25You're on an investigation for bribery. You're coming with me.
01:22:28I already lost the case. Can't you just let me go?
01:22:32George, you've been bribing people for years.
01:22:35It's time you pay the price.
01:22:38I'm innocent. She's framing me.
01:22:41I have proof of his bribery. I can turn it all in if you let me go.
01:22:46Retrous bitch! You're fucking me over again?
01:22:49That's enough. Let's go.
01:22:53I was wrong. Please. I'm sorry. Please.
01:22:57Have mercy on me for the sake of our marriage. Just for the sake of our marriage.
01:23:00Stay the fuck away from her!
01:23:02You're pathetic, George. You had everything.
01:23:04Brilliant wife, family, your greed got in the way and you lost all of it.
01:23:10Alright, get up. You're wasting my time.
01:23:13Sarah, help me. I did everything you asked. Save me!
01:23:17I did everything you asked. Save me!
01:23:19I don't know who you are and I don't know what you're talking about.
01:23:23You told me to sue Ellie. You said you'd take care of everything.
01:23:26Well, that's not true. Everything he's saying is made up because he's desperate and he's a delusional man.
01:23:32Starting today, Caprio Group is cutting all types of your family.
01:23:37Save those for cereal.
01:23:39Wait, no!
01:23:40Miss, as Mr. Lenny has implicated you in this matter, you also need to come with me as well.
01:23:47Barbara, call me a lawyer, please!
01:24:04Miss Spears, congratulations on your return to practice and achieving your 102nd victory in courtroom.
01:24:11Is this gentleman your new partner?
01:24:28Girl, Caprio, will you marry me?
01:24:36Absolutely, yes.
01:24:38So beautiful.
01:24:40My pleasure!
01:24:41I'm great to meet you.
01:24:43I'm great to meet you.
01:24:44Please come.
01:24:45I'm great to meet you.
01:24:46I'm great to meet you.
01:24:51Continue to meet you.
