Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Before Liam and I got married, we signed a prenuptial agreement. It included an infidelity clause.
00:00:11If either spouse cheats, the marriage ends immediately.
00:00:15The unfaithful party walks away with nothing.
00:00:18It was that simple.
00:00:20Even so, in our eighth year of marriage,
00:00:27you cheated.
00:00:30Oh.
00:00:37So tell me, between real evil, who do you think is going?
00:00:45Of course it's you.
00:01:08I promise I will love you forever. If I ever stop, I deserve help. And I swear at home.
00:01:18I believe you. I am. But...
00:01:24Always.
00:01:26There's no such thing.
00:01:40What do you want, Avra?
00:01:43You cheated. You breached our prenuptial agreement. I want a divorce and 50 million in settlement.
00:01:48Are you out of your mind?
00:01:51Absolutely not.
00:01:53Think about it, Evelyn.
00:01:54A stock crash would cost Sterling far more than 50 million.
00:02:01Fine. You win. I'll transfer the money today.
00:02:05You've got one hour.
00:02:07Or the photos go public.
00:02:09I'll send 25 million today and the rest when you're officially divorced for my son.
00:02:15No.
00:02:21Director E, Mrs. Sterling wanted me to deliver this.
00:02:34Are you okay, ma'am?
00:02:37I'm fine.
00:02:38I'm fine.
00:02:40I'm fine.
00:02:41Well, Mrs. Sterling personally selected this set.
00:02:43There's only one in the whole world.
00:02:46Oh.
00:02:48How thoughtful of him.
00:02:53Eight years of marriage end here.
00:02:59Wow.
00:03:00This is a serious collection.
00:03:03Are you sure you want to sell this?
00:03:04Yeah.
00:03:05All of it.
00:03:06So you really are divorcing Liam?
00:03:10Eight years together and this is how it ends?
00:03:13I'm sorry.
00:03:13You must be devastated.
00:03:16It'll pass.
00:03:23I mean, let's be real.
00:03:25Ivor had her moment.
00:03:26Sure, but eight years is a long run.
00:03:28Well, Liam just wanted something fresh.
00:03:29You know what I'm talking about?
00:03:30Yeah, Ivor was dumb anyway.
00:03:32Anyway, she wasted her best years on someone like Liam.
00:03:35Yeah, when it's done with them, I wouldn't mind checking in.
00:03:38Their bodies been on my radar for years, mate.
00:03:42You bastards.
00:03:46Gentlemen.
00:03:47Let's get something straight.
00:03:49You think I wasted my best years?
00:03:51Anyways.
00:03:52Well, let's be honest.
00:03:53They were Liam's best years, too.
00:03:56So, yeah.
00:03:57I'd call that a good deal.
00:03:59Liam?
00:04:04Liam?
00:04:05Who is she?
00:04:09Come on.
00:04:10Come on!
00:04:11Get off me!
00:04:13Are you fucking crazy?
00:04:14What the hell is wrong with you?
00:04:17Enjoy the night with your sweetheart.
00:04:19I'm done here.
00:04:20You are.
00:04:21No!
00:04:22No!
00:04:22No!
00:04:23No!
00:04:23No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:24No!
00:04:25No!
00:04:26No!
00:04:29No!
00:04:35No!
00:04:35Wait for that stupid bar, Impro.
00:04:37Catching you cheating.
00:04:38Oh, don't be so dramatic!
00:04:39The Carter family have just started negotiating the Polaris project with us.
00:04:43And Lillian, she's just... she's just part of the deal.
00:04:46What? So if you don't sleep with Lillian Carter, the Carters won't do business with you?
00:04:50Oh, don't be so unreasonable, god damn it!
00:04:52I'm trying to explain.
00:04:54Listen, no need to explain, Liam.
00:04:57If you want a fresh start, fine. I can agree to that.
00:05:01What does that mean?
00:05:04I mean...
00:05:05Let's get a divorce.
00:05:09Don't ever say that, Abra.
00:05:12I didn't just say it.
00:05:13I meant it.
00:05:15I choose it.
00:05:17Liam, let's get a divorce.
00:05:23You don't mean that, sweetheart.
00:05:25You do not mean that.
00:05:26You're just upset, yeah?
00:05:29Hey, come on. This is just a rough patch.
00:05:31Every relationship has a difficult period.
00:05:33Yeah?
00:05:34Hey, think of all the nice times, sweetie.
00:05:38Yeah?
00:05:39Look, how about we go for a nice trip together, just me and you?
00:05:45Please.
00:05:48Bye.
00:05:49Let me sleep on it.
00:05:51I'm going to bed.
00:06:02Hey.
00:06:05Look, sweetheart. Something urgent's come up.
00:06:07I've got a flight to London on business.
00:06:10I'm sorry.
00:06:11I'll make it up to you as soon as I'm back, okay?
00:06:15Go take care of it.
00:06:17I'll be on the first flight home.
00:06:19Thanks.
00:06:35Come to Sterling Mansion.
00:06:37About what we discussed last time, I need it signed.
00:06:40In person.
00:06:42Alright.
00:06:48I don't think you realize I'll get out of this game.
00:06:50We'll see about that.
00:06:52Go.
00:06:56I win!
00:06:58You must have cheated.
00:06:59Were you trying to make me win, Liam?
00:07:02I'm just rolling out.
00:07:18Ava, what are you doing here?
00:07:19Your mother asked me to come.
00:07:21Weren't you supposed to be on a business trip to London?
00:07:23What?
00:07:24Did you learn how to teleport?
00:07:27It was cancelled.
00:07:30Hi.
00:07:32I'm Julian Carter.
00:07:44Julian, dear.
00:07:46Did you have a good time today?
00:07:47This is Ava, one of our directors.
00:07:53I just need a word with her.
00:07:56About work.
00:07:58Oh.
00:08:00So she's just an employee here.
00:08:04Can we talk now?
00:08:05Not now.
00:08:07Today, my priority is to make sure that Lillian feels welcome.
00:08:14Liam, let's play another round.
00:08:19Get it.
00:08:21Another time.
00:08:24Well?
00:08:25Does Director Reed know how to play Halle Gally?
00:08:29Of course.
00:08:30Would you like to play a game, Miss Carter?
00:08:32I can't believe Mr. Sterling lost his best game.
00:08:35You must really want to make her happy.
00:08:38Shall we?
00:08:39I can't wait.
00:08:53I win.
00:08:55Yes!
00:08:56Brilliant, my dear.
00:08:57You counted wrong.
00:08:59I win.
00:09:07Brilliant, my dear.
00:09:09Let's go.
00:09:10Again.
00:09:14Miss Carter, you lost.
00:09:17Again?
00:09:19Again?
00:09:22Again?
00:09:23Again?
00:09:24Again?
00:09:25Again?
00:09:26Miss Carter, I'm not even trying.
00:09:31It's not fair!
00:09:32She's obviously just picking on me!
00:09:35Sweetheart, calm down.
00:09:36Don't cry.
00:09:37It's okay.
00:09:38It's not a goddamn championship game, Avra!
00:09:40Do you really have to take it this far?
00:09:42That's the trouble with people from her background.
00:09:45Petty.
00:09:46Small-minded.
00:09:48They make a fuss over the most trivial things.
00:09:52Exactly.
00:09:55Hey.
00:09:56Liam, please don't cry.
00:09:58You're breaking my heart.
00:10:03Good game, Miss Carter.
00:10:06Hey, but what the hell do you think you're doing?!
00:10:08No, Liam!
00:10:09Remember, you'd be nothing without me!
00:10:17I won another 10 billion.
00:10:19That makes 16 million total.
00:10:21If a single dollar is missing when the divorce is finalized,
00:10:25I will make sure the Sterling family pays for it.
00:10:45I'm very sorry, ma'am.
00:10:47This whole accident was our responsibility.
00:10:49And I promise we'll take care of everything.
00:10:53Please, take my business card.
00:10:55We can offer you a ride to the hospital.
00:10:58No, no, I'm fine.
00:11:00I can call a taxi.
00:11:01Are you sure?
00:11:03Please hold on.
00:11:05Boss.
00:11:11She doesn't want to come to the hospital with us.
00:11:22Boss?
00:11:35Put this on.
00:11:37It's freezing now.
00:11:49I'll get it dry cleaned and return it to you as soon as possible.
00:11:54It's okay.
00:11:55Let's go.
00:12:04It's not easy to see a bright yellow car at night time, is it?
00:12:07First you ignore my calls,
00:12:08then you disappear on me,
00:12:09and then you pull this reckless shit!
00:12:11Do you really think that gets my attention, Abra?
00:12:14Of course not.
00:12:16Your attention is clearly on Lillian.
00:12:18Come on, I know I lied to you, but you don't have to take it out on Lillian and make
00:12:22her cry.
00:12:23She's just a...
00:12:25Spoiled kid.
00:12:26Don't worry.
00:12:27It won't happen again.
00:12:30Honestly, I don't care what's going on between you and Lillian anymore.
00:12:34Just keep her in check and out of my sight.
00:12:37Lillian is just like a little sister to me.
00:12:39A little sister?
00:12:41Wow, that's quite a bond.
00:12:47Who's jacket is this?
00:12:49Mads.
00:12:50Oh, I just see him as a brother.
00:12:52Is that a problem?
00:12:56How about that?
00:12:58What are you doing?
00:13:04Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:13:07Dragging innocent people into your mess!
00:13:09I guess you can vent your emotions!
00:13:11Do you know how childish that is?
00:13:13Oh, that's rich.
00:13:14Coming from a foiled little man child like you!
00:13:29Sorry to bother you.
00:13:30I just wanted to ask what your boss's measurements are.
00:13:37Look, I found out of something.
00:13:40It's not perfectly straight, but what relationship is, huh?
00:13:46I've got something to tell you.
00:13:49What is it?
00:13:50I'm resigning.
00:13:51After all these years, I need a break.
00:13:55Time to enjoy a more leisurely life.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Yeah, that sounds nice.
00:14:02Well, tell me wherever you want to go and I'll take care of the arrangements.
00:14:05You deserve it.
00:14:07Sure.
00:14:08By then, I'll be done with you.
00:14:15Work call.
00:14:16It's coming in, it's urgent.
00:14:17It's about a big bid, honey.
00:14:18I'll be two minutes.
00:14:19I'm so sorry.
00:14:20I was really enjoying it.
00:14:31Once a man changes his heart,
00:14:35he rots.
00:14:37And rotten things get thrown away.
00:14:43Uh, Dr. Reed?
00:14:44This is still in the minute.
00:14:45You know, it's not the best time.
00:14:59I heard for Reed.
00:15:00See, Miss Carter, she helped moving some files.
00:15:03And you know how exhausting it is.
00:15:04So Mrs. Selling, he just decided to give her a deep, friendly, friendly massage.
00:15:07I mean, it's just easy to get it right out of me.
00:15:10You're an Ivy League graduate.
00:15:11And this is what you pick up?
00:15:13A glorified pimp?
00:15:15Shut up.
00:15:16Have you forgotten your place?
00:15:18You're fired.
00:15:24I already told you about my resignation.
00:15:26I begin handover today, and starting next week, I won't be coming back.
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:32Suit yourself.
00:15:33You won't be missed.
00:15:34Good.
00:15:35Then please, go back to your massage.
00:15:39What we do is none of your business.
00:15:42Listen carefully, Avra.
00:15:45Liam doesn't love you anymore.
00:15:47He loves me.
00:15:48And we spend every single night together.
00:15:53Enough.
00:15:54No!
00:15:54Go on.
00:15:55The more you talk, the clearer it gets.
00:15:58You're the side bitch, Lillian.
00:15:59And I'll make sure everybody knows it.
00:16:02You bitch!
00:16:04How dare you!
00:16:05Something like that!
00:16:08You crazy bitch!
00:16:10Lillian.
00:16:11Liam!
00:16:12Look what she did to me!
00:16:14That was too far.
00:16:15Now get out now!
00:16:17You made me sick, Liam.
00:16:24Sir, I wish it looks, she may just heard her back.
00:16:28It may be serious.
00:16:31Liam!
00:16:32She scared me!
00:16:33She's crazy!
00:16:36It's okay.
00:16:37I'm here now.
00:16:42I'm here.
00:16:43Hey!
00:16:45Hey, Ray, did you really quit?
00:16:47Yeah.
00:16:48Don't wanna see Liam's face for even one more second.
00:16:51Perfect timing, Ben.
00:16:52I heard that the Jones Group is looking for assistance for their CEO.
00:16:56Zach Jones.
00:16:57You should really give it a shot.
00:16:59Wait.
00:17:01The Jones Group.
00:17:02As in, the biggest company in the country?
00:17:04Yep.
00:17:05That's the one.
00:17:06Real old money royalty there.
00:17:09And if you land that job, Liam won't even be on your radar anymore.
00:17:13Yeah.
00:17:14Alright.
00:17:16I'll give it a go.
00:17:19The project department answers to me now.
00:17:22If you can't get on board, you know where the door is.
00:17:30Well, well, well.
00:17:33Look at that.
00:17:35Director Reed.
00:17:37Oh, no way.
00:17:38Former Director Reed.
00:17:41What are you doing here?
00:17:43From now on, Miss Carter will serve as the new director of the project department.
00:17:48You heard him.
00:17:49I'm in charge now.
00:17:50And you are officially fired.
00:17:53I already packed your stuff, so get out!
00:17:58Liam, you hand over the project department to Lillian Carter?
00:18:02Of all the departments, that one?
00:18:04Are you insane?
00:18:05Lillian's capable and ambitious.
00:18:07That's why she got the job.
00:18:09Do you have a problem with that?
00:18:11If you want to pad her resume, fine.
00:18:14But assign her somewhere else.
00:18:15The project department is my territory.
00:18:18I won't have her ruin everything that I've built.
00:18:20Be realistic, April.
00:18:22You quit.
00:18:23You don't get a say anymore.
00:18:36Remember this.
00:18:38Everything that you've worked for, I can take away with one call.
00:18:42You were never taken seriously here.
00:18:46That's rich.
00:18:47Coming from a woman who lives off leftovers.
00:18:50Jobs.
00:18:51Men.
00:18:51And you think that makes you better than me.
00:18:54Whatever helps you sleep.
00:18:56But the truth is, you were just the appetizer before their main course, Aver.
00:19:00You will never be a part of our circle.
00:19:03Your circle?
00:19:04A circle that does nothing all day except rush around like livestock?
00:19:09Jean.
00:19:10No thanks.
00:19:11I'll pass.
00:19:12Enjoy rotting in it together.
00:19:14How dare you insult me like that!
00:19:22Blood!
00:19:26Avra!
00:19:27Reid!
00:19:28You will pay for this!
00:19:31Hand over done.
00:19:34I'm going to tilt Liam.
00:19:36Right now!
00:19:37Good luck running Sterling Group into the ground.
00:19:42You will pay for this, Avra!
00:19:43I swear!
00:19:49Director Reid.
00:19:51Are you really leaving?
00:19:53Yeah.
00:19:55Mr. Sterling approved my resignation.
00:19:57We're going to miss you, Director Reid. Take care.
00:20:00Me too.
00:20:01And be careful working under Lillian Carter.
00:20:04Okay? If something goes wrong, go to Liam.
00:20:06Don't be her scapegoat.
00:20:08Especially on a multi-million dollar project.
00:20:10Hopefully she loses interest and leaves on her own soon.
00:20:14We have a best time.
00:20:15Bye.
00:20:16Bye.
00:20:17Take care.
00:20:25Bye.
00:20:27Oh my god.
00:20:30Can you twirl?
00:20:33You look amazing.
00:20:35Liam must be so blind to choose Lillian over this.
00:20:40This dress is too much.
00:20:42I think I should probably go and change it to something more appropriate.
00:20:45You look amazing.
00:20:47You'll definitely impress Zach with this.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:51Zach Jones was just after a pretty face.
00:20:54That assistant position wouldn't still be like it.
00:20:57Look, smart people can be hot too.
00:20:59And who knows, maybe Zach is into that.
00:21:00And this is Zach Jones we're talking about.
00:21:04One little tweak in his calendar and the entire market freaks out.
00:21:07And if you land Zach, then that bitch Lillian wouldn't dare to bark at you again.
00:21:13The rest of my life, I'm only going after money.
00:21:17Not a man.
00:21:19I know you're still hurting.
00:21:21But you can't be alone forever.
00:21:29I think you should meet.
00:21:33I believe they're here.
00:21:34They should be...
00:21:37Um, Mr. Jones, Mr. Brown.
00:21:41Mr. Jones, this is my best friend, Avra Reid.
00:21:43She really wanted to meet you in person tonight.
00:21:49In that dress.
00:21:50Looks like you prepared Miss Ripped.
00:21:54Um, Mr. Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:21:57Miss Ried?
00:21:58I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
00:22:02I can't tell you this dress works.
00:22:07Um, Mr. Brown, do you mind if we go rob a drink?
00:22:10Sure.
00:22:20It's the real reason that you showed up today.
00:22:23Don't tell me you're stocking my measurements again.
00:22:27No, I asked for your measurements because I ruined your suit last time.
00:22:31And I wanted to buy you in your one.
00:22:33As for today, I heard you're hiring an executive assistant and I thought that...
00:22:38You're not the right fit.
00:22:40Excuse me?
00:22:43How you doing, man?
00:22:45Thank you, sir.
00:22:45Thank you, sir.
00:22:51Leo?
00:22:52What are you looking at?
00:22:53Nothing, I'm just admiring how beautiful the venue is, honey, that's all.
00:22:57Excuse me?
00:22:57This role requires real capabilities and you show up like this, Miss Ried, everyone will see something else. Your body,
00:23:07for instance.
00:23:09And that's not what I'm looking for.
00:23:11I get it.
00:23:13I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Jones. Enjoy your night.
00:23:19No, bro?
00:23:20No, bro?
00:23:20No, wait!
00:23:22Mr. Jones!
00:23:24She's perfectly capable, I swear!
00:23:26Well, based off what she's wearing, I'd say otherwise.
00:23:29No, you got it all wrong.
00:23:31She was wearing a perfectly professional suit and I basically forced her to change into that.
00:23:36You have to trust me.
00:23:39Look, I'm so sorry I messed up your chance.
00:23:41I really did try to explain.
00:23:43But maybe that door isn't completely closed yet.
00:23:46I don't care about it.
00:23:48Maybe the Jones group just isn't for me.
00:23:50Alright.
00:23:53Is it true that once I leave Sterling group, once I leave Leone, I'm just nothing?
00:24:03Are you blank?
00:24:06Where were you last night?
00:24:13Looking for a hickey that doesn't belong to you?
00:24:16I saw someone who looked just like you at the Gala last night.
00:24:18You must be mistaken.
00:24:21I'm going to get dressed.
00:24:27Blake, get me a private investigator.
00:24:29I need to look into something.
00:24:33Sir, just received the updated shortlist for the assistance position.
00:24:37And guess what?
00:24:38Have you ever agreed the girl from the car accident?
00:24:40She's on the list too.
00:24:42Oh, please have a look.
00:24:43Her resume is quite impressive.
00:24:45Four years at Sterling Group, rose from an entry level to running the whole project department.
00:24:51Frankly, a large part of Sterling's growth is on her.
00:24:55And no one's tried to poach her yet?
00:24:57No, this is the thing.
00:24:58She was seeing the CEO, Liam Sterling.
00:25:01Then rumors hit that the Carters and Sterlings were pushing for a marriage deal.
00:25:05When she found out, she just walked away.
00:25:08Guess tough breakup.
00:25:11This role requires real capabilities.
00:25:14And Miss Reed, everyone will see something else.
00:25:18Your body, for instance.
00:25:26Mr. Jones asked me to pass along his measurements.
00:25:30What is this?
00:25:33Another chance at the job?
00:25:35No.
00:25:36Don't overthink it.
00:25:38Got it.
00:25:39I'll purchase a new suit and have it delivered shortly.
00:25:41She's having the suit purchased and delivered shortly.
00:25:45Delivered?
00:25:46Shall I let Miss Reed know that you're giving her another shot for the position?
00:25:51No.
00:25:52If she's smart, she'll figure it out.
00:25:56Ma'am, here's your suit.
00:25:58Your husband has an incredible build.
00:26:00Is he a model?
00:26:02He's not my husband.
00:26:06See you next night.
00:26:08The investigator says Mrs. Sterling spent three hours shopping.
00:26:11She picked this suit for you.
00:26:13Good.
00:26:14Looks like Avery's finally come around.
00:26:28This one's mine.
00:26:29If you want lunch, go make it yourself.
00:26:33After a long day at work, you expect me to cook?
00:26:36Or pick something up outside.
00:26:38It's your call.
00:26:39To you, whatever's outside always tastes better than what's at home.
00:26:42Food.
00:26:43Beds.
00:26:44Women.
00:26:45But what the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:26:47Why are you getting so worked up?
00:26:49If you wanted that back, go ahead.
00:26:52Take it.
00:26:53Like I say, it's been a long day.
00:26:55You know I don't like tomatoes.
00:26:59Oops.
00:27:03Guess I forgot.
00:27:06You.
00:27:15Where are you going with all that?
00:27:16I told you I'm going on a trip.
00:27:20Just been to the bedroom.
00:27:22Wear the rest of your clothes.
00:27:23You don't need that much just for a trip.
00:27:25I sent everything to the clothes.
00:27:28All of them?
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:30I finally have enough time to do a full wardrobe reset.
00:27:33And the accessories needed to freshen up too.
00:27:36The diamonds were starting to lose their sparkle.
00:27:39Well, okay.
00:27:41Fair enough, we'll take your time with it.
00:27:44Is that a suit?
00:27:45As if for me, you did not need to...
00:27:47No.
00:27:49It's for my dad.
00:27:50You mean to say you got a suit for your father?
00:27:53And it didn't even cross your mind to buy one for your own husband?
00:27:56What?
00:27:57You have enough suits.
00:28:01Jesus Christ.
00:28:06There's a supplemental agreement I need you to sign.
00:28:09Let's meet and get this thing settled.
00:28:12I'll have my lawyer handle up.
00:28:15Avera Reed.
00:28:16Your settlement jumped from 50 to 60 million dollars.
00:28:20And now you are giving me attitude over a simple addendum?
00:28:24Tomorrow.
00:28:25Amon Hotel.
00:28:27You show up in person.
00:28:32Mr. Jones will be at the Amon Hotel tomorrow afternoon.
00:28:36You can deliver the suit there.
00:28:39What a coincidence.
00:28:43Where is Avera right now?
00:28:44The investigator says Mrs. Stillen just arrived to the Amon Hotel.
00:28:48She's been acting weird lately.
00:28:50Prepare the car.
00:28:51We're gonna go to the hotel now.
00:28:59Why are you here?
00:29:00I'm about to marry Liam.
00:29:02So Evelyn asked me to handle the agreement between you and him.
00:29:06And that way, we can both get what we want.
00:29:12Cheers.
00:29:20Alright, let's sign the agreement.
00:29:23Sure.
00:29:27Let's go.
00:29:28Prior to the finalization of the divorce, the wife is found to have an inappropriate relationship with another man.
00:29:34This agreement shall be rendered null and void. No compensation will be paid.
00:29:38This clause is strange.
00:29:42Are you done reading?
00:29:43Just sign it. I don't have all day.
00:29:47I'll have my lawyer review it.
00:29:49If there's nothing wrong, I'll sign it immediately.
00:29:51I'll have my lawyer review it.
00:30:02Avera...
00:30:02You dropped me!
00:30:04Blame your own greed, Avera.
00:30:06You really thought you were worth 60 million?
00:30:09Maybe...
00:30:10I can send some news to Bruce.
00:30:13It may not be worth much, but at least I can humiliate you.
00:30:18Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Get off of me!
00:30:22Avera! You bitch! Get back here!
00:30:32Avera! You're not getting away!
00:30:34Find her! I'll pay double!
00:30:36Jeff, no.
00:30:38Catch me! It's over!
00:30:40Sir?
00:30:41Miss Reed said she would be bringing over the suit, so she will be arriving shortly.
00:30:45You contacted her.
00:30:46Since when do you make calls like that without contacting me first?
00:31:13Miss Reed, what happened?
00:31:15Avera!
00:31:17Find her!
00:31:18Search every room!
00:31:20Help!
00:31:20Help me!
00:31:21Please!
00:31:22Handle it.
00:31:24Sure.
00:31:26You're safe now.
00:31:28I've got you.
00:31:29I feel so hot.
00:31:32I'm burning up.
00:31:35Someone drugged you.
00:31:37I'm taking you to the hospital.
00:31:38Okay?
00:31:42Kiss me.
00:31:47You're not yourself right now.
00:31:50Don't do something you work with.
00:31:51I know exactly what I'm asking for.
00:31:56I know exactly what I'm asking for.
00:32:19Miss Reed is in this room, sir.
00:32:21Open it.
00:32:27What the hell are you doing?
00:32:31Get out.
00:32:33Oh.
00:32:35I'm sorry.
00:32:39I thought you said she was in this room.
00:32:41Sorry, sir.
00:32:41Must be a mistake.
00:32:42Don't let that happen ever again!
00:32:44God damn it.
00:32:52Do you want to keep going?
00:33:03That's Avera's ringtone.
00:33:05Apologies, sir.
00:33:06Miss Reed is in the opposite wing.
00:33:08Follow me.
00:33:16Avera loves me.
00:33:17There's no way she'd be screwing around with another man.
00:33:21Jasper.
00:33:25I got you.
00:33:27I'll call my family doctor, okay?
00:33:29He'll take good care of you.
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:32Hold on.
00:33:40I'm giving you the antidote.
00:33:42You should feel better soon.
00:33:45Thanks, doctor.
00:33:50Thanks.
00:33:52You should get some rest.
00:33:53Okay.
00:33:53I'm gonna be just for you.
00:33:55I promise.
00:33:55Thank you, Mr. Jones.
00:33:58Thank you, Mr. Jones.
00:34:02You're up.
00:34:03Are you hungry?
00:34:05Dinner's ready.
00:34:06Come eat something.
00:34:06Okay.
00:34:16Bon appetit.
00:34:21Boss, we got that all figured out.
00:34:24Lilian's people professed.
00:34:25It was actually Liam's idea.
00:34:27He wants to divorce Miss Reed.
00:34:28The only thing is, he doesn't want to split up the assets.
00:34:31And that's why he hired some men to ruin her.
00:34:34He did that to me.
00:34:36Hey, are you okay?
00:34:39I'm fine.
00:34:41Is there anything more?
00:34:43Go ahead.
00:34:44I can handle it.
00:34:46I'll say it.
00:34:48Sterling's are throwing a gala tomorrow.
00:34:50And all the biggest names in town will be there.
00:34:52They're announcing Liam and Lilian's engagement.
00:34:56Engagement?
00:34:57Do you want me to take care of Liam for you?
00:35:00No.
00:35:01Mr. Jones, you've already done more than enough for me.
00:35:03What happens next, I will handle myself.
00:35:07And how exactly are you going to do that?
00:35:09I loved Liam for eight years.
00:35:12I helped him build Sterling Group up from nothing.
00:35:15Now he leaves me with no way out for a woman he barely knows.
00:35:18If they want to play dirty, then nobody walks away clean.
00:35:23Ben?
00:35:23Miss Reed?
00:35:24Make sure Lilian's men tell her that I've been caught.
00:35:28I'm on.
00:35:42What is wrong with those idiots?
00:35:44It's been all day and I still haven't heard a damn thing.
00:35:47Lillian, dear!
00:35:51Miss... Miss Sterling!
00:35:53How did things go with Ava?
00:35:55Did she sign the agreement?
00:35:59Uh...
00:36:01It's done.
00:36:02Video coming shortly.
00:36:04Perfect.
00:36:06Everything's taken care of, Miss Sterling.
00:36:08I'll have the agreement delivered tomorrow.
00:36:10Good.
00:36:10The gala is about to begin.
00:36:14Take this.
00:36:15Go find Liam.
00:36:19Ava Reed, you are never in my league.
00:36:22The money, the power, the Sterling name.
00:36:25They were always meant to be mine.
00:36:29Link, do you think I'll have the best offer here today?
00:36:31No doubt.
00:36:31Sir, there's something you should know.
00:36:33Our investigator says Mrs. Tilbing, she didn't come home last night.
00:36:38What?
00:36:39Look at the PI on the line.
00:36:41I need to know exactly where Ava is.
00:36:43Yes, sir.
00:36:45Liam!
00:36:46Where are you going?
00:36:47The gal is about to start.
00:36:49There's something I gotta take care of.
00:36:51What could possibly be more important than today?
00:36:53This is our big day.
00:36:55Our big day?
00:36:57Crap.
00:36:58I can't let it sleep before the engagement is announced.
00:37:01Come, look at this.
00:37:03Do you think this pink diamond would look good on me?
00:37:07Wait.
00:37:08That looks like the pink diamond that I gave Ava.
00:37:14It's exactly the same...
00:37:15Hmm.
00:37:18Find out why the pink diamond's up for auction now.
00:37:21So?
00:37:22What do you think?
00:37:23Do you think it would look good on me?
00:37:25We really do have the same taste, don't we?
00:37:27Sir.
00:37:28The pink diamond was sold by Mrs. Til...
00:37:31Miss Reed.
00:37:32No jersey diamond.
00:37:33She's selling several pieces.
00:37:34Quite a few actually.
00:37:35Those are all the gifts that I gave her.
00:37:38Why would she sell them?
00:37:43There's no one.
00:37:44That can't be Ava.
00:37:46That's just somebody who looks like her.
00:37:48Ava would never betray me.
00:38:00No.
00:38:04No.
00:38:08No.
00:38:13No.
00:38:14Ava is probably just upset that I've been spending too much time with Lillian lately.
00:38:18Once the Carter deal is locked in, I'll go back and make it up to her.
00:38:22Fine.
00:38:23And you do look beautiful.
00:38:25Come on, let's go.
00:38:33Before we begin tonight's auction, I would like to announce some wonderful news.
00:38:39My son, Liam Sterling, is to be engaged to Miss Lillian Carter.
00:38:49What?
00:38:50I will be placing a bid on the most valuable piece of jewelry as an early engagement gift
00:38:56to my future daughter-in-law.
00:39:00Congrats.
00:39:02You two look perfect together.
00:39:05Exactly.
00:39:06A match meet in heaven.
00:39:10Olivia, what the hell?
00:39:11When did I ever agree to get engaged to you?
00:39:16Liam, I...
00:39:33Avra?
00:39:35Look, Liam's exes showed up to crash the party.
00:39:39This is brutal shit dragging both family during the night.
00:39:42She didn't do anything wrong.
00:39:44They were together for years.
00:39:46And now, he just dumps her out of the blue and marries someone else.
00:39:51That's cold.
00:39:53Liam, no!
00:39:54Don't go!
00:39:57Listen carefully, Avra.
00:39:59Liam and I are getting engaged.
00:40:02We're about to be married, so stop hanging on to him!
00:40:06That's enough!
00:40:09Hey, Liam.
00:40:10Do you really want to humiliate my sister in front of everyone?
00:40:14Her bad woman?
00:40:16Lucas, get your hand off me.
00:40:18Avra, don't make a silly.
00:40:20Just go home and I'll explain everything I think.
00:40:22Oh, explain what, Liam?
00:40:24That you plan to keep me in the dark while you line yourself up a mistress?
00:40:29Mistress?
00:40:29Did she really just call the Carter heiress a mistress to us?
00:40:35Face them.
00:40:36She's got some balls.
00:40:37This is brutal.
00:40:38She's dragging both family through the night.
00:40:41You shameless bitch.
00:40:43I'm Liam's future wife.
00:40:44How dare you call me the mistress?
00:40:46Lillian?
00:40:47Shut up, will you?
00:40:50Lillian, sweetheart.
00:40:51Don't lower yourself to her level.
00:40:53It's not worth arguing with her.
00:40:56No!
00:40:56Let her talk.
00:41:00Avra, one more word from you, and you can forget about your settlement.
00:41:07What settlement?
00:41:09What the fuck is going on?!
00:41:12So that's what this is about.
00:41:15Money.
00:41:16I thought she really loved Liam.
00:41:18She take the money and still show that to rock their engagement?
00:41:21Disgusting.
00:41:22She's just jealous.
00:41:23Got dumped by her sugar daddy.
00:41:26And now?
00:41:27She's trying to squeeze out even more by making a scene.
00:41:30Mrs. Regina, you should leave-
00:41:31Ow!
00:41:31I will make you leave myself.
00:41:34You have no right to threaten me.
00:41:36Your sister is the mistress.
00:41:38She crossed the line.
00:41:40So she should be apologizing to me.
00:41:43You're completely insane.
00:41:45I apologize to you?
00:41:46Are you out of your freaking damn mind?
00:41:48How dare you demand that from me?
00:41:50Oh.
00:41:51Well, you think I don't have the right to save her?
00:42:02You two are married?
00:42:05You slept with a married man.
00:42:10And you?
00:42:11You cheated on me.
00:42:12And now you have the nerve to parade your engagement around?
00:42:15Do either of you even understand the law?
00:42:18Picking me is illegal.
00:42:20I really thought there was just a money grab by an ex.
00:42:23I didn't see this coming.
00:42:25The wife publicly taking down the mistress.
00:42:29This is beyond this.
00:42:30The stolen and crooked name just got drugged through the map.
00:42:35Evelyn, how could you keep something this huge from us?
00:42:38You have ruined my daughter's life.
00:42:42No, no, no.
00:42:43Mrs. Carter, please.
00:42:45This is all a misunderstanding.
00:42:48This is what the Sterling family does now.
00:42:50No.
00:42:50Trying to trick us into marriage?
00:42:53Oh, and you?
00:42:55Leanne Sterling?
00:42:57You better start explaining yourself to my sister right now.
00:43:00And how about you finish puberty before you start ordering me around?
00:43:05April, I am so sorry.
00:43:06I have no idea about this stupid-
00:43:08Delphi!
00:43:08Delphi!
00:43:09Liam.
00:43:14You make me sick.
00:43:25God damn it!
00:43:29How's that for engagement, Mom?
00:43:31Is humiliating me here in front of everybody really what you want?
00:43:34No!
00:43:36Divorces!
00:43:39I already filed the papers.
00:43:41And I'm taking what's mine.
00:43:43Every cent.
00:43:45Congratulations, Liam.
00:43:47He's all yours.
00:43:48I guess trash always finds its own.
00:43:53I'm bleeding.
00:43:57You bitch!
00:43:59You deserve to rot in hell for what you did last night.
00:44:03Aren't we full of surprises?
00:44:05Tell me, what happened last night?
00:44:08Ava here spent a wild night with eight men.
00:44:11One of them has HIV.
00:44:13What?
00:44:14I wasn't even planning to expose you yet.
00:44:17But here you are.
00:44:19Confessing your own setup.
00:44:21Stupid.
00:44:22And evil.
00:44:25Is this your ideal daughter-in-law?
00:44:27A criminal?
00:44:29I...
00:44:30I...
00:44:31Wait.
00:44:32So Lillian and Evelyn, they planned us up together?
00:44:35Really?
00:44:36What did you do to Ava?
00:44:37Tell me!
00:44:38Stick to death in the shit!
00:44:40I didn't do anything.
00:44:41She did it to herself!
00:44:43She's throwing herself at men like a total whore!
00:44:46Come on.
00:44:47No one realized I've eight men one night.
00:44:49And one of them just happened to be HIV positive?
00:44:51That must be a stare.
00:44:53Lillian's vicious.
00:44:54Stealing someone's husband wasn't enough.
00:44:57She had to destroy the wife too.
00:45:00That's insane!
00:45:05Hey, Lillian, let her go.
00:45:07She clearly doesn't mean any of it.
00:45:09Okay, wait.
00:45:11Let's just be honest.
00:45:12Maybe Ava just couldn't handle being alone.
00:45:15So she went out.
00:45:16She fooled around.
00:45:17And eventually the rumors came back to Lillian.
00:45:20You knew very well that the truth would come out.
00:45:22So you staged this little ridiculous scene
00:45:25to frame my daughter.
00:45:27You're disgusting.
00:45:30Right?
00:45:30A friend saw Ava walking to a hotel room with a group of men.
00:45:35One of them is a well-known womanizer.
00:45:37HIV positive!
00:45:40Look, Ava, I didn't want to say any of this.
00:45:43But after what you just did to me,
00:45:45you may still be married to Lillian.
00:45:47But he loves me.
00:45:49He doesn't love you anymore.
00:45:51And you should have stepped aside a long time ago!
00:45:54How could someone be that shameless?
00:45:58Tell me.
00:45:59Is what you've just said about Ava true?
00:46:01I swear it's true.
00:46:03I swear on my own life.
00:46:05Liam, you have to believe me.
00:46:06Make a scene all you want, Ava.
00:46:09Once Liam cools down, he'll choose me.
00:46:12No hesitation.
00:46:13You never stood a chance.
00:46:16I guess you really don't believe in karma.
00:46:20Fine.
00:46:22Let's see how confident you are when you see this.
00:46:39How did she have that video?
00:46:41I made sure the cameras were wiped.
00:46:43It's fake!
00:46:44That is AI-generated footage!
00:46:46Hello, that doesn't even look like me!
00:46:48If it's still not enough for you,
00:46:51the men you hired,
00:46:52they're ready to testify.
00:46:54And they're in custody.
00:46:56And they're waiting for you.
00:46:59No.
00:47:00If I confess,
00:47:01Liam will leave me.
00:47:02I'll lose everything.
00:47:04It was everyone!
00:47:05She planned everything!
00:47:06She made me do it!
00:47:10Wow.
00:47:11Even Hollywood wouldn't dare
00:47:13to do something this dramatic.
00:47:15Miss Reed really knows how to play this game.
00:47:17And win.
00:47:18It's just getting started.
00:47:19Should we go catch the live version?
00:47:22Absolutely.
00:47:23Off to you, sir.
00:47:24No, it's not true!
00:47:26I never forced Lillian.
00:47:29She came to me
00:47:31and said she had a way
00:47:32to get Aver to sign that settlement agreement.
00:47:35And that's why I asked Aver to come to the hotel to meet.
00:47:40I just thought that Lillian would scare Aver just a little bit.
00:47:43I never thought she would do something so vicious to Aver.
00:47:48Miss Sterling, it was you.
00:47:50You came to me.
00:47:51You told me that Aver was greedy.
00:47:53That she kept pushing for a higher settlement.
00:47:56You was afraid that Lillian would hate you.
00:47:58So I felt sorry for you.
00:47:59So I stepped in and I helped you.
00:48:01No, no.
00:48:02That's not true.
00:48:03Yes, it is.
00:48:03It's nonsense.
00:48:04It's true!
00:48:05Mrs. Sterling, you trapped my sister into this.
00:48:08You used her.
00:48:09The Sterling family really has no morals at all.
00:48:13Ha!
00:48:14Do they?
00:48:15My future with Lillian is with the fall.
00:48:21Seeing you two turn on each other.
00:48:24Oh, well, it just warms my heart.
00:48:28Look, Aver, I'm really sorry, truly.
00:48:31I will pay for all your medical treatments.
00:48:34Medical science moves fast these days.
00:48:36Who knows, even HIV may be curable someday.
00:48:39Ha!
00:48:39But for your kind of evil, Lillian, there isn't...
00:48:43You were born rotten.
00:48:45I guess I have to disappoint you, though.
00:48:49Someone stepped in yesterday, so your little plan didn't work.
00:48:53I'm not sick, and I'm not dying.
00:48:57But you, you're going to prison.
00:49:01Because I already called the cops.
00:49:05So, Aver said it now, you...
00:49:08Last night isn't true.
00:49:10That's impossible!
00:49:12The suite was isolated.
00:49:13No staff, no cameras.
00:49:14Who the hell would save you?
00:49:16Come on.
00:49:17A kind stranger.
00:49:18A kind stranger?
00:49:19Oh, please, you're just saying that so you don't look pathetic in front of Lillian!
00:49:23I don't care what Lillian thinks.
00:49:27And even if something had happened yesterday, I wouldn't be the pathetic one.
00:49:33You would.
00:49:34Because you set it up.
00:49:38Bullshit.
00:49:40Where is this kind stranger, huh?
00:49:41Bring him in!
00:49:42Let everyone see!
00:49:44Well, he's...
00:49:45I can't drive Mr. Jones into this.
00:49:48See?
00:49:49Nothing to say.
00:49:51Do you know why?
00:49:51Because you're a liar!
00:49:53It was me!
00:49:55It was me!
00:50:05Wait.
00:50:06Is that Zack Jones?
00:50:07Oh my god.
00:50:08That Zack Jones?
00:50:09There's only one Zack Jones.
00:50:11The Jones here.
00:50:12What is he doing here?
00:50:14Hold on.
00:50:14Did he say he saved Avrah?
00:50:22Mr. Jones?
00:50:25I overheard someone trying to ruin your name and I couldn't just stand by.
00:50:30I hope I haven't made things worse.
00:50:32No.
00:50:33Mr. Jones, if anything, I'm the one dragging you into this.
00:50:36No worries.
00:50:38You can repay me later.
00:50:39I was meeting a client at that hotel when I happened to run into Avrah in the hallway.
00:50:44She was in a daze.
00:50:45Clearly in trouble.
00:50:47So I stepped in and I handled those guys.
00:50:52How does a big shot like Mr. Jones just show up in the middle of this chaos and save me
00:50:57twice?
00:50:58Maybe I was such a mess that even a stranger couldn't walk away.
00:51:01That's just your word.
00:51:03You can't prove anything.
00:51:05Shut it Lillian.
00:51:06This man is here to the Demp's empire.
00:51:09So even if something had happened to Avrah, if he says it didn't, everyone in this room
00:51:14is going to keep their mouth shut.
00:51:17Well, thank you for handling those guys and saving my wife.
00:51:25You don't get to thank anyone on my land.
00:51:28And I'm not your wife.
00:51:30The divorce ruling will be delivered to you tomorrow morning.
00:51:33We're done.
00:51:34Come on, Avrah.
00:51:36You're not really divorcing me.
00:51:38I don't believe it.
00:51:40You love me.
00:51:43I know what this is.
00:51:45You're angry.
00:51:46You're emotional.
00:51:47And you're just trying to get a reaction from me.
00:51:50My God.
00:51:51You think a lot of yourself.
00:51:54The police are already on their way.
00:51:56And before you worry about the divorce,
00:51:58maybe check on your criminal mistress and your mom.
00:52:02And don't think you're getting away with it.
00:52:04The men Lillian hired already confessed.
00:52:07They said you were involved.
00:52:10What?
00:52:13Sweetie, you really think I could do something so cruel?
00:52:15I would do nothing to hurt you.
00:52:17I would never, never hurt you.
00:52:18Never.
00:52:19You have been hurting me.
00:52:21Every single day.
00:52:24And you still have the nerve to say that.
00:52:26I found out about you and Lillian a long time ago.
00:52:29Your affair has been tortured.
00:52:32Day after day.
00:52:33Tell me.
00:52:34What did I do wrong?
00:52:36I never deserved that.
00:52:48Who's Lillian Carter?
00:52:53Lillian Carter.
00:52:55Ellen Sterling.
00:52:56Lyon Sterling.
00:52:57You are all under arrest.
00:53:00You can't touch me.
00:53:05You know, I already figured everything out.
00:53:09Liam had no part of it.
00:53:11But I still wanted to see him arrested.
00:53:15Did that make you feel better?
00:53:16Getting your revenge?
00:53:18It did.
00:53:21And I am so exhausted now.
00:53:24Let's get you home so you can get some rest.
00:53:27Yeah.
00:53:29Oh!
00:53:40Right.
00:53:42I should...
00:53:45go.
00:53:46Yeah.
00:53:47See you later.
00:53:48Or never.
00:53:51Cheers to your new life!
00:53:55You're not going to believe how nasty these Sterling and Carter legal teams are.
00:53:59They tried everything to get bail, and then I slammed the evidence right on the table.
00:54:04Okay, so Lillian's going to jail for sure, and then Carter has at least 24 hours until he can get
00:54:10out?
00:54:11It's a shame cheating isn't a crime. He got up way too easy.
00:54:15Ma'am, do you think after everything that you've been through, you'll believe in love again?
00:54:19I'm not going to let one asshole ruin my faith in all men.
00:54:23Although, if someone does get a bit too close, I may take a step back.
00:54:28That's my girl.
00:54:30Okay, enough about that.
00:54:31Tell me about your trip to China!
00:54:34Maybe I'll be a man there!
00:54:36Oh my god!
00:54:49Miss Reed! Going somewhere?
00:54:51The airport!
00:54:53That's perfect! That's where we going too!
00:54:55Oh no, it's fine. I've already called the riot.
00:54:58Cancel it! Problem solved!
00:55:00Please, hop in!
00:55:19Good morning, Mr. Jones.
00:55:21Good morning.
00:55:23Are you going on a trip?
00:55:25Yes.
00:55:26Where?
00:55:27China.
00:55:28Well, that's... far.
00:55:31Yeah, pretty far.
00:55:34Was this trip planned or a last minute decision?
00:55:37Of course it was planned. It was...
00:55:41Damn it! He's testing me!
00:55:44Miss Reed, does this mean that you're giving up on the job position?
00:55:47Well, the plan was if I was given the offer, I'd cancel the trip.
00:55:54But since Mr. Jones turned me down, I guess vacation is.
00:56:00What if I change my mind?
00:56:04You mean I got the job?
00:56:06Unless you would rather keep traveling.
00:56:08No, no, I can cancel the trip. I can start anytime, boss.
00:56:13Anytime?
00:56:14Anytime you want.
00:56:16Then, once we're on the plane, update Miss Reed on all the details of this trip.
00:56:21Yes, boss?
00:56:22So, a free ride and a job offer?
00:56:25Guess the universe finally cut me a break.
00:56:30What?
00:56:30Liam is out. He tracked your flight. He's heading to the airport right now.
00:56:34That bastard's lost it, Ibera!
00:56:37You should turn back, now!
00:56:39Okay, I got it.
00:56:41Relax. Boss has a private jet.
00:56:44And this car will run all the way to the runway.
00:56:46Liam will not get anywhere near you.
00:56:49Perfect.
00:56:50That's the upside of having a very powerful boss watching your back.
00:57:08Miss Reed.
00:57:09Boss? Miss Reed.
00:57:10You guys okay?
00:57:12A cat just runs across the street.
00:57:15I'm fine.
00:57:16Miss Reed, if you remain this distracted, I may not need to process your onboarding paperwork at all.
00:57:23I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
00:57:26We'll see.
00:57:34So here's Mr. Jones' schedule.
00:57:37And all the highlighted parts are your responsibility now.
00:57:42Starting from today, you will be in charge of his daily life.
00:57:46Wait, wake up calls too? That's part of my job?
00:57:50Well, I used to take care of all these things, but now you're here.
00:57:54So I can finally take a breath.
00:57:55And just so you know, the boss is kind of particular.
00:58:01I'll leave it all to you.
00:58:33So Ben basically dumped the boss's entire personal life on me.
00:58:45Forget it. Just don't think of him as a man. He's the boss. That's it.
00:58:52Mr. Jones, it's time to wake up.
00:59:03Sir, it's five o'clock. You should get up.
00:59:08Seriously, is he always this grumpy when he gets woken up?
00:59:12Sir, you really should-
00:59:25Sir, it's five and you really should get up.
00:59:34I was supposed to wake him up.
00:59:35How did that end up with me kissing him?
00:59:38No. No. It's a professional. It won't happen again.
00:59:46Hey girl.
00:59:48Why haven't you woken the boss yet?
00:59:51I-I tried.
00:59:52Yeah, I know. It's not easy. But you will get used to it.
00:59:57I guess from now on, I will be relying on you.
00:59:59Wait. Ben's been through this too?
01:00:03Sir, you really have to wake up.
01:00:06Oh my God. Does Zach have a thing for...
01:00:10Matt?
01:00:11Why are you looking at me like that?
01:00:14Nothing. Nothing. It's just thinking this job isn't easy.
01:00:26Yeah, no job is easy. But you will get used to it.
01:00:31You seem surprisingly upbeat.
01:00:33What's yours do I have?
01:00:35You kind of punch the boss, right?
01:00:38You're right.
01:00:39I guess I still have a lot to learn.
01:00:43Good afternoon, sir.
01:00:45Good afternoon, Mr. Jones.
01:00:47Hey, brah. Water?
01:00:49Oh.
01:00:50Yeah.
01:00:54Here you go, sir.
01:00:58Here.
01:01:00Easy.
01:01:01Just take small sips.
01:01:04It was just a mistake.
01:01:06You don't need to stress about it.
01:01:08Wait.
01:01:08Avra, you made a mistake.
01:01:10When did this happen?
01:01:26President Jones, welcome.
01:01:29Thank you. Thank you.
01:01:30This is my granddaughter Tina, you're both just about the same age, so I thought you could get to know
01:01:37each other better.
01:01:38President Jones, it's a pleasure to meet you.
01:01:41The pleasure is all mine.
01:01:43If you would have known that Mr. Fisher is trying to set him up, he never would have come.
01:01:48President Jones, I have an excellent taste in wine.
01:01:51I have to try the selection tonight.
01:01:55It's not like you could be straight up with him.
01:01:57I invited you here to meet my granddaughter. I think you two would really hit it off.
01:02:01Not a chance. She's not even close to the boss's type.
01:02:07Wait, how do you know?
01:02:09Of course I know.
01:02:11What is she doing here?
01:02:13Who?
01:02:20Ms. Clara Harris, General Manager of the Germany Brands. Long time no see, Ms. Harris.
01:02:26Ben, long time no see. And this is?
01:02:29Ms. Harris, I'm Avera. I'm the CEO's new executive assistant.
01:02:34An assistant. I see.
01:02:39Ms. Harris, she's actually the daughter of Mrs. Jones' best friend.
01:02:44She grew up amongst the Jones family.
01:02:47She and the boss are going to go way back.
01:02:50They have a kind of a complicated history together.
01:02:54Ah.
01:02:55Got it.
01:02:57So that's why Germany was the first stop.
01:03:00Because she's here.
01:03:02I've got to see you tonight, then.
01:03:05Especially President Fischer's welcome dinner.
01:03:08Come on.
01:03:09Have another drink with me.
01:03:12Clara's drunk. Get her out of here.
01:03:14I'm not drunk.
01:03:15Ms. Harris, please.
01:03:16I want to have another drink with you.
01:03:17I want to have another drink with you.
01:03:18Oh, hands up.
01:03:22Ms. Harris, how about we...
01:03:23It's not...
01:03:36President Fischer, excuse us, please.
01:03:44Um...
01:03:45I...
01:03:46I...
01:03:47I think I should just...
01:03:48Goodbye.
01:04:00Wow.
01:04:01I guess the boss is a lot wilder off the clock.
01:04:06Let go, Clara.
01:04:08Jimmy likes me, but it's not my fault.
01:04:11You almost headed me out of him without even asking.
01:04:14I told you, you can't have everything you want.
01:04:17I only want you, Zack.
01:04:19I need you.
01:04:21No, what you need is a therapist.
01:04:23You are sick.
01:04:26I'm sick.
01:04:27Ever since the day you said you didn't love me.
01:04:29I've been sick.
01:04:30Please, Zack.
01:04:37I just came to drop off your jacket.
01:04:40What did you see?
01:04:42Nothing.
01:04:44Okay, I saw something.
01:04:46But, but just a glance.
01:04:47I swear I didn't stare.
01:04:48A glance at what?
01:04:51That.
01:04:51I...
01:04:53Be specific.
01:04:55Kissing?
01:04:56Like, very intense kissing.
01:04:58No, no.
01:04:58You saw it wrong.
01:05:00Okay, I saw it wrong.
01:05:02You don't believe me?
01:05:04No.
01:05:04No, I do.
01:05:05I really do.
01:05:06I don't do kissing.
01:05:10Especially not with women.
01:05:13But that afternoon in the hotel, we...
01:05:17What?
01:05:17What hotel?
01:05:19Nothing.
01:05:21Nothing.
01:05:23Anyways, there was no kissing.
01:05:26And as my assistant, it's your job to know your boss well enough.
01:05:30That's it.
01:05:31Yes.
01:05:32Right.
01:05:33Absolutely.
01:05:34Here.
01:05:35Call her a car.
01:05:37Oh, what?
01:05:37Get her home.
01:05:39Aren't you taking her back yourself?
01:05:42He just kissed her?
01:05:44What?
01:05:44What?
01:05:45It isn't exactly safe for Miss Harris to go back alone.
01:05:48Shouldn't you take her back to the hotel?
01:05:51Whatever.
01:05:52Once you're there, she's your responsibility.
01:05:57What?
01:06:01Men are all the same.
01:06:02They either cheat or disappear.
01:06:07Come on.
01:06:10Don't answer unknown numbers.
01:06:11Don't reply.
01:06:13It is all Liam.
01:06:14Avra, where are you?
01:06:15You used the infidelity clause to force the divorce.
01:06:18Were you planning this the whole time?
01:06:20Please, Avra.
01:06:21I was wrong.
01:06:22I was a bastard.
01:06:24You can punish me however you want.
01:06:25Just don't end me like this.
01:06:27I'm begging you.
01:06:28Please give me one more chance.
01:06:32Liam, you're over.
01:06:34I will never let you drag me back into hell.
01:06:45Come to my room.
01:06:48Yes, sir.
01:06:53Sir?
01:06:55Come here.
01:06:57So, he just had a fight with Miss Harris.
01:06:59And now he's using me to make her jealous?
01:07:04Miss Harris is drunk.
01:07:05She didn't come back with me.
01:07:06What are you talking about?
01:07:10I called you here.
01:07:13Because...
01:07:13I'm hungry.
01:07:16Please, sir, calm down.
01:07:20I'm hungry.
01:07:22My stomach.
01:07:24Oh.
01:07:25That hungry.
01:07:26I thought you meant...
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:28This used to be Ben's show.
01:07:30Ben's at this too?
01:07:33Jesus, what's going on in your head?
01:07:35Get out.
01:07:36Now.
01:07:38Yes, sir.
01:07:46I'm here to give you your court ruling.
01:07:47And as a reminder, the compensation is due immediately.
01:07:52Avra has had enough.
01:07:53And if you try to stall, she will fight till the very end.
01:07:58We have more than enough proof of your affairs.
01:08:01I assume you don't want another charity gala turned into a public execution, do you?
01:08:05You think you can threaten me?
01:08:08Look at me when I'm talking to you.
01:08:09I'll give her everything.
01:08:11All of the money.
01:08:12I don't care.
01:08:13And everything that she sold, I can buy it back like that.
01:08:17But I've never...
01:08:19Never!
01:08:20Divorce her.
01:08:21Do you understand?
01:08:24You have lost your right to say no when you slept with that girl.
01:08:29We know everything that you've done.
01:08:32All she wants now is for you to get out of her life.
01:08:35Asshole.
01:08:50Mr. Sterling, we've located your wife.
01:08:57Where is Avra?
01:08:58Mrs. Sterling flew to Germany with Zack Jones.
01:09:02What?!
01:09:04Take a look at this.
01:09:05There's something off about the factory's data.
01:09:08Okay, the attendance logs match the payroll.
01:09:11But the actual head count is down by two people.
01:09:15Yeah, you're right.
01:09:16If this is actually happening, then somebody's definitely siphoning money.
01:09:21Yeah, and it's gone unnoticed for ten years.
01:09:23I think there's internal collusion in the factory.
01:09:26If we don't move fast, then once they realize, they'll destroy the evidence.
01:09:31Yeah, absolutely.
01:09:33But I have a meeting to attend with the CEO.
01:09:36Well, I'll go to the factory.
01:09:38Okay.
01:09:39Well, then if somebody pops up, then just call me.
01:09:43Okay.
01:09:43Got it!
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:49The contractor, the cart group, have it finalized and on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.
01:09:55Okay.
01:09:56And notify our tech department.
01:09:57Meeting at 10 AM.
01:10:01And...
01:10:02And...
01:10:02Where's Avera?
01:10:04Oh, she went to the factory site this morning.
01:10:06Some numbers didn't end up.
01:10:08She thinks that somebody's been padding payroll.
01:10:12Actually...
01:10:13She seems to have been back by now.
01:10:15Call her.
01:10:17Sure.
01:10:18We're sorry. Your call cannot be completed as dialed.
01:10:21She's not answering the phone.
01:10:25Get the car.
01:10:26We're going to the factory.
01:10:28Yes.
01:10:32Pass this message down.
01:10:34There's no word from Avera in the next hour.
01:10:36I want every manager from that branch and the factory fired.
01:10:41On what grounds, sir?
01:10:43No grounds.
01:10:44Anyone who dares touch my people will feel my wrath.
01:10:49Hey!
01:10:50Mr. Jones!
01:10:51Mr. Sterling!
01:10:52Where's my wife?
01:10:53She's missing.
01:10:54Missing?
01:10:55What do you mean she's missing?
01:10:57Mr. Sterling, calm down.
01:10:59Ms. Reed is Mr. Jones' personal assistant right now.
01:11:02This morning she went to the factory because there were some issues.
01:11:05Until now she hasn't returned.
01:11:07And we cannot reach her.
01:11:08That's the reason why we go to the factory right now to find out what's going on.
01:11:15I'm coming.
01:11:35You.
01:11:36You.
01:11:37You're Vice President Miller.
01:11:38The one working for Miss Harris.
01:11:43So you remember me?
01:11:44Good.
01:11:46What a bunch of idiots!
01:11:48Try not power.
01:11:49Don't look at the system like this.
01:11:51That's rough.
01:11:52So is you.
01:11:53You've been polluting with factory managers and cyberting company funds.
01:11:57Yes.
01:11:58Wait a minute.
01:11:59What's the point?
01:12:00About knowing all of that.
01:12:02You are not going out here anywhere.
01:12:05Planning to kill me?
01:12:07Well.
01:12:09That was a question.
01:12:11Dump you in the ocean.
01:12:13Clean and quiet.
01:12:14But then I'm alive.
01:12:16I shall wait.
01:12:18I can keep you here.
01:12:20I can keep you here.
01:12:21And they think.
01:12:24After all I deserve you.
01:12:26Don't get better than the worst.
01:12:27Stop.
01:12:28No.
01:12:29No.
01:12:32You're going to do this.
01:12:34At least not on the floor.
01:12:36It's filthy.
01:12:37Let's go to the bed.
01:12:43Bye.
01:12:44Let's make it be more of us.
01:12:46You fucking idiot.
01:13:00You are a fucking bitch!
01:13:02It looks like I just did you last time!
01:13:05No!
01:13:06No!
01:13:16Zack!
01:13:17Millie!
01:13:18You are a fucking idiot!
01:13:20You know who I am!
01:13:24Somebody!
01:13:25Get an ambulance!
01:13:26Get an ambulance!
01:13:31Zack!
01:13:32Zack!
01:13:34Look at me!
01:13:35Look at me!
01:13:36Are you okay?
01:13:37Say something!
01:13:38Zack!
01:13:39Oh my god you're bleeding!
01:13:42What am I-
01:13:43Zack!
01:13:44Zack!
01:13:47Don't cry.
01:13:50I'm fine.
01:13:52I'm fine.
01:13:53I'm fine.
01:13:55The ambulance is here.
01:13:57Now let's get the balls out of here.
01:14:01Let's get it through this room.
01:14:03I'm fine.
01:14:14All done Mr. Johns.
01:14:16Take it easy.
01:14:17Don't get the wound wet.
01:14:17And if anything feels off,
01:14:19just come back and get a check.
01:14:20Thanks Doctor.
01:14:36It's cold you get sick.
01:14:40Act up you need it.
01:14:43Don't be stubborn Avra.
01:14:45I'm not being stubborn.
01:14:47I just find everything you do disgusting.
01:14:49Do you have to talk like that?
01:14:51Look I know I messed up.
01:14:53Okay?
01:14:53But I've cut all ties with the Carter Group.
01:14:55And everything that you sold,
01:14:57I cut the people to buy it back.
01:15:00When we get back,
01:15:01we'll get married.
01:15:03I want the whole world to know
01:15:05that you're my wife.
01:15:06Even please.
01:15:08I love you.
01:15:10I love you.
01:15:10I don't love you anymore.
01:15:16Have you...
01:15:17Have you met somebody else?
01:15:21Who?
01:15:22Is it Zach?
01:15:24Fucking Jones!
01:15:25I knew he was after you.
01:15:27Dammit!
01:15:28Don't be ridiculous!
01:15:30Mr. Jones is just my boss.
01:15:31And besides,
01:15:32he likes men.
01:15:36Mr. Jones is Avra's husband.
01:15:39I am informing you that Avra is resigning.
01:15:43You don't have the right to do that.
01:15:46We're done.
01:15:47Leave now.
01:15:50Ben, sir.
01:15:51You heard her.
01:15:52Please escort Mr. Sterling out immediately.
01:15:56This way, Mr. Sterling.
01:15:57Get your hands off me!
01:15:58Mr. Sterling!
01:15:59You belong to me!
01:16:00Mr. Sterling!
01:16:01It's not over!
01:16:03It's not over!
01:16:03That's right, Mr. Jones!
01:16:04If you try, he won't get that stupid knife down on!
01:16:14Sorry, sir.
01:16:15I keep dragging you into this mess.
01:16:17It's fine.
01:16:18I actually enjoy the show.
01:16:22But who told you that I like men?
01:16:24What?
01:16:26You said...
01:16:27You said you didn't do kissing, especially not with...
01:16:32Boss?
01:16:34I...
01:16:34Please.
01:16:35Help me, Zach.
01:16:36And I don't usually kiss, but with you, I'll make an exception.
01:16:42See, Liam was right about one thing.
01:16:45I've been after you far longer than you think.
01:16:50I...
01:16:50You don't want to answer right now.
01:16:53We can leave.
01:16:55At least until...
01:16:57You're feeling lonely.
