00:09:27I said don't do divorce
00:10:05The big shot is coming today.
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:20He's so hot.
00:10:22You're flushing.
00:10:25I'm William, your project lead.
00:10:31Stella, your turn.
00:10:40The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:11:02Sounds aglippin'.
00:11:03OK.
00:11:08But we're going to do you have a lot of mĂĽssen in our own medicine database?
00:11:16How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:22Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:11:58Who is he?
00:12:00What are you to him?
00:12:04None of your business.
00:12:10It's another man's coat.
00:12:13You're wearing another man's coat.
00:12:15We're divorcing.
00:12:16You don't get to control me.
00:12:20We're talking at home.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this.
00:13:05Let's fix this.
00:13:07It's too late.
00:13:23A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Raskate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:29I need to drive away.
00:13:32I need to drive away.
00:14:09Stella, don't be like this.
00:14:11You know you're the only one I care about.
00:14:13Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:15No need. I don't mind.
00:14:18I want tonight to feel special. Something to remember. I won't take long.
00:14:33Two, one.
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office. I've got to go.
00:14:44Don't wait up for me. Just get some rest after your shower.
00:14:54You swore you loved me, but you never even see me.
00:14:58You never saw that I was already gone.
00:15:11Goodbye, Mark.
00:15:14Stella?
00:15:16You... you came back.
00:15:29What are you burning?
00:15:37Weird. How come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important. Just old junk. Why are you back?
00:15:45Forgot something. I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:53I'm sorry, Stella. Work has been non-stop. I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:15:59His phone lit up. I saw Haley's name.
00:16:02I've got to run.
00:16:04How come he's heading out this late at night? He's definitely got something to hide.
00:16:10The entire box was gone. He took them all for her.
00:16:14He was just in this room and didn't even notice our wedding photo is missing.
00:16:20Now that Mark's not here, I can finally get a proper night's sleep.
00:16:27Lainey, is Mr. Briggs not in today?
00:16:29Why the sudden interest in the boss?
00:16:31It's not like that. I had an accident, my period, and he lent me his coat. I'm just returning it.
00:16:36Relax. He's in meetings all day. You won't catch him.
00:16:39Mr. Briggs, the jacket you lent me was custom made, so I bought another of equal value.
00:16:44If you're not satisfied, feel free to contact me. And I wrote down my number.
00:16:53My phone rang. It was my husband Mark's assistant, calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for
00:17:01years.
00:17:05He can't even call me himself. He sends an assistant to handle business.
00:17:10Tell him not to bother. I'm coming to the office. Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh. It's been a while. What brings you in? I'm here to sign a contract. Is Mark in his
00:17:36office?
00:17:37He should be. Yes.
00:17:42Mrs. Walsh! You're here!
00:17:46Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:48I know the way, Cody. Move.
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait. He's in a meeting.
00:17:59Stop it!
00:18:00You love it.
00:18:02A meeting? Is that what he calls her?
00:18:04Mrs. Walsh, it's not what it looks like.
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest. I should go say hello.
00:18:19Urgent?
00:18:21Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:27I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:30Who's the candidate?
00:18:32Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:51Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:18:56You're the only gift I want. There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:19:05If it's truly one of a kind, then yes. I love it.
00:19:12Sell this. ASAP. Send the money here.
00:19:30Come here. Give me a hug.
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the institute. I've got to leave now.
00:19:39Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:48Sure. When things settle down.
00:19:55Mrs. Walsh, are you okay? He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:19:59Stella, enough with the drama. I already told you, this isn't what you think. Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:03Wait. Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf. She didn't mean it.
00:20:06For you, Mark, I'll let it slide. But she better get lost and stay away from this company.
00:20:12Stella, this is a workplace. Can we not make a scene?
00:20:16Save the fake politeness. I'll leave when I'm done.
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting.
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent. The contract has expired and our partnership is over.
00:20:32Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem? This patent is a cornerstone of our business.
00:20:38No issues. I've simply found a new buyer.
00:20:43Stella, if you're upset, take it out on me. Hit me, yell at me, whatever you want.
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent. Let's talk about this at home.
00:20:50You still think I'm just being emotional? That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:53I'm not joking. The deal is off.
00:20:55If your company continues using my patent, my lawyer will file for compensation.
00:21:00Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent, we're in trouble. Multiple projects will fail.
00:21:04I'll handle it.
00:21:05Stella!
00:21:07Stella!
00:21:10Stella!
00:21:13Stella!
00:21:14Stella!
00:21:14Stella!
00:21:16Stella!
00:21:22Stella!
00:21:30William? What are you doing in my car?
00:21:32Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride, you could have asked. Climbing into my car like this is a bit
00:21:38bold.
00:21:39I'm so sorry. I didn't realize this was your car. My mistake. I'll get out.
00:21:43Wait.
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned. I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities. Show some professionalism.
00:22:00Stella! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Let me see...
00:22:04Wait. This is already swollen. This wasn't me. What happened?
00:22:09It's okay, Lainey. It's not your fault. I'll be fine.
00:22:12Don't lie to me. You went to see Mark today. Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:23Unbelievable! You're his wife! How dare he hit you over some other woman!
00:22:29Maybe he was always this man, and I was just too blind to see it.
00:22:40Speak of the devil. It's Mark.
00:22:50How dare you keep calling her? You cheat on her? You hit her, and now you think she wants to
00:22:55hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend. When you hurt her, it is my business.
00:23:08She's my friend, Mark. The least you can do is show her some respect.
00:23:12Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:15I don't, Estella. I need your strex.
00:23:18You honestly make me sick. You want both women? Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:23If your coworks and boss see me, that won't be good for you. So come home.
00:23:32Fine. I'll go back after I finish up here.
00:23:37What if he hits you again? Let me come with you.
00:23:40He won't. Trust me. He wouldn't dare.
00:23:47I had the chef make all your favorites. Come on, let's eat.
00:24:00Stella, about earlier. Haley's family has deep ties to our company. I can't afford to upset them. I went too
00:24:04far with you.
00:24:05Right.
00:24:07That's why I'm giving you full admin access to the security system.
00:24:12This company is yours, too.
00:24:14You're half the boss here. I promise. This won't happen again. Today was the last time. Just trust me.
00:24:21Half the boss, huh? Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Stell, don't be upset. Haley is just a friend. Her parents are important business partners, that's all.
00:24:39A friend? Would you kiss a friend like that? Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:45Let's not talk about that. Stella, let's have a baby.
00:24:50A baby?
00:24:51Yes! Didn't you always want one? If we have a child, you'll always be my wife. You won't feel so
00:24:58insecure.
00:25:00Insecure? You think a child is a bargaining chip? A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:09Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:18I have a headache. Maybe some other time.
00:25:22Your head! The injury! I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention. Let me get the first aid kits.
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it. No need for your concern now.
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study.
00:25:50Stella! They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project.
00:25:56What do you mean? I thought the list was final.
00:25:59It was. But William is on the project now.
00:26:04William.
00:26:05And he's personally reviewing every single person on the team.
00:26:10That means our spots aren't safe anymore.
00:26:15William isn't just a brilliant researcher, Stella.
00:26:17The Briggs family owns half of Brissette.
00:26:19He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire.
00:26:23His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals.
00:26:26I just need to get on his team.
00:26:28Imagine if you actually won him over.
00:26:30Wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?
00:26:33A thriving career and a man way better than Mark. It's a win-win!
00:26:37Lainey, my mind is on research.
00:26:39Men in revenge have no place in my world right now.
00:26:41But I do need to speak with him.
00:26:43Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:46A private meeting?
00:26:48Of course! Of course!
00:26:51Leave it to me!
00:26:57You're home! Are you hungry?
00:26:59I can ask the kitchen to make something.
00:27:02I'm not hungry.
00:27:04Eat by yourself.
00:27:09Stella, not eating will harm your health.
00:27:12Please, have at least a little.
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite.
00:27:16Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxivy?
00:27:19I'll be free next month. Let's go together.
00:27:23You were always too busy for that trip before.
00:27:26What changed?
00:27:28Oh, right.
00:27:29The patent.
00:27:31If you're so desperate for a vacation,
00:27:33why don't you take Haley instead?
00:27:39Stella, don't talk to me like that.
00:27:41I hate it.
00:27:42I apologized, didn't I?
00:27:44Then how am I supposed to talk to you?
00:27:46Should I sit down and have a pleasant little heart-to-heart about your affair?
00:27:49Are you there?
00:27:51Yes.
00:27:52We should definitely talk.
00:27:58Fine.
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk.
00:28:02I'm curious what else you think you can get from me.
00:28:20All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley.
00:28:24This is business.
00:28:26The Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level.
00:28:30Her father suggested she get experience with us.
00:28:32With her background in international law,
00:28:35the legal department is a perfect fit.
00:28:38And what does her job have to do with me?
00:28:42This is why I brought it up.
00:28:44If your patent stays with us,
00:28:46it'll be the first project Haley takes on.
00:28:49She'll be pleased, her family will be impressed,
00:28:52and it helps our company.
00:28:53You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:55It's just a renewal.
00:28:59So this whole talk is about using my patent
00:29:02to make Haley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest.
00:29:04A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:07We're married, Stella.
00:29:09Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:12Normal?
00:29:13You have the nerve to call this normal?
00:29:18This is my patent.
00:29:20I've changed my mind.
00:29:22I'm not selling.
00:29:23And no one,
00:29:24not even you,
00:29:26have the right to force me.
00:29:29Enough.
00:29:30This conversation is over.
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow and sign the renewal.
00:29:36Don't act like a child.
00:29:38I'm fond of ti.
00:29:38I want to.
00:29:46I don't know.
00:30:14Hey, Allegra, what's going on?
00:30:17Miss Russell?
00:30:20Mr. Walsh asked me to inform.
00:30:23Stoke harshed that in Cormu, you need to come to the office today.
00:30:28I'm sorry, Allegra, but I've decided not to work with your company anymore.
00:30:32I won't be coming in.
00:30:33I know you've made up your mind, but Mr. Walsh said if you don't come, it would be my error.
00:30:39He said I could lose my job.
00:30:42Wait, are you saying Mark would fire you just because I refused to come?
00:30:46He said he'd make sure no one else in the industry hires me.
00:30:50I know this is emotional blackmail, but it's fine. I'll find a way.
00:30:58That shameless bastard.
00:31:01Miss Russell, please don't make it worse for yourself because of me.
00:31:05I'll come.
00:31:08Don't worry, Allegra.
00:31:10This isn't your fault.
00:31:11He's targeting me, not you.
00:31:13I won't let you lose your job over this.
00:31:17Thank you so much, Miss Russell.
00:31:30Mrs. Walsh, what are you doing here?
00:31:32You shouldn't go in.
00:31:33That Haley girl is targeting you.
00:31:35She's scolding the whole team, calling them useless for not landing the deal.
00:31:39Well, it's all right, Evie.
00:31:43Well, look who finally decided to show up.
00:31:46You were so high and mighty yesterday, acting like you didn't need the contract.
00:31:50And now?
00:31:51You're back to sign it.
00:31:53If you were going to crawl back anyway, what was all that drama for?
00:31:59What the hell are you pretending for?
00:32:02If Mark hadn't dragged innocent people into this, I wouldn't be here.
00:32:05So this is your talent?
00:32:07Manipulating people who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:32:10Impressive.
00:32:11Stella, all's fair in love and war.
00:32:13If it works, it works.
00:32:14Now sign the damn contract right now.
00:32:16No, I'm not signing anything.
00:32:18You?
00:32:19Mrs. Walsh, please.
00:32:21If something's bothering you, let's talk it through.
00:32:23You are Mr. Walsh's wife.
00:32:25Just tell us what you need.
00:32:26The reason I'm not renewing the contract?
00:32:29Simple.
00:32:29It's her.
00:32:32If you want my signature, tell your Mr. Walsh to show me some sincerity.
00:32:37Start by kicking Haley out of the company and make sure she leaves humiliated.
00:32:43Who do you think you are, Stella?
00:32:45It's just one damn patent.
00:32:47You think this entire company revolves around you?
00:32:51Well, guess what?
00:32:52I'm not going anywhere!
00:32:54Keep dreaming!
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh, wait.
00:32:59Allow me to walk you out.
00:33:01Please, if you don't mind me saying, could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:05Haley isn't fit for this role.
00:33:07He still has feelings for you.
00:33:08He'll listen to you.
00:33:16Choria's a big city, Allegra.
00:33:18There's no shortage of companies here that would value someone like you.
00:33:22I understand.
00:33:23Take care, Mrs. Walsh.
00:33:36Mark, you should have seen her.
00:33:37She was completely out of line.
00:33:39I was only doing what you told me to, and she turned around and told me to get lost.
00:33:44Alright, don't get too worked up.
00:33:46I understand you're angry.
00:33:48Why don't I take you to your favorite place for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No!
00:33:52I want Stella to kneel and apologize to me!
00:33:55Make her mark.
00:33:57Please?
00:34:01Haley.
00:34:04You really think you're that important?
00:34:10What did you just say?
00:34:12Stella is my wife, and always will be.
00:34:15What's between us is nothing more than a fling.
00:34:20You're joking, right?
00:34:22If you don't like it, you're free to leave.
00:34:28I was just messing around.
00:34:29Don't be mad.
00:34:31I'll let it go, but you owe me.
00:34:34Fine.
00:34:35Whatever you ask, just leave Stella alone.
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight.
00:34:56I got an invite.
00:34:57I'm wiped out.
00:34:58I don't have energy.
00:34:59William's attending.
00:35:01Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:35:02I got an invite.
00:35:05Alright, I'll come.
00:35:06Send me the details.
00:35:13Mark, you're incredible.
00:35:29Hi, Stella.
00:35:37What's with this outfit?
00:35:39Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:40We're here to drink.
00:35:41We're here to drink, not sign contracts.
00:35:43Good thing I planned ahead.
00:35:44Change now.
00:35:53Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:55Perfect.
00:35:56Perfect.
00:35:56You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:06Brady, meet Stella.
00:36:08Stella, this is Brady.
00:36:10Hello.
00:36:12Many try to get close to William.
00:36:14Take your time.
00:36:19Mr. Briggs, she has project questions for you.
00:36:32Exactly how long were you thinking of sitting like that?
00:36:41I'm so sorry.
00:36:42Sorry, Mr. Briggs.
00:36:43This wasn't intentional.
00:36:44Just give me a second.
00:36:47You'll have to do better than that.
00:36:49If you're staging an act, put in more effort.
00:36:52That's not what you think.
00:36:53I'm here about the project roster.
00:36:55I'm hoping you'll give me a shot.
00:36:58Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:37:02I have papers and patents.
00:37:04I can bring value to the project.
00:37:07Clearly, your talents stretch past what you let slip.
00:37:12Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding.
00:37:25I just want to join the project.
00:37:40Explaining will only make it worse.
00:37:52Mark, what are you staring at?
00:37:54Nothing.
00:38:00Mr. Briggs, I meant every word.
00:38:02Please, give it thought.
00:38:04Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:38:06Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:38:08It wasn't what you think.
00:38:09It was an accident.
00:38:11You're skilled at attracting men.
00:38:13But I dislike forward women.
00:38:16I take pride in my work.
00:38:17I'm not the woman you think.
00:38:22I won't bother you again.
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure.
00:38:32Looks like she decided to go.
00:38:34Mr. Briggs, I made her wear the dress.
00:38:35She came in a shirt and jeans.
00:38:55Mr. Briggs, I heard you're handpicking top talents for the new project.
00:39:00Go ahead.
00:39:01Stella Russell.
00:39:02She's the author of the field-shaking paper on biologically active if factors.
00:39:06So she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:39:20You were gone all day.
00:39:22Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:23I was in the lab.
00:39:25It's the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume on you that makes me sick.
00:39:29Fine.
00:39:30Have it your way.
00:39:38Stella, open the door!
00:39:58Good morning, Miss Russell.
00:40:00I'm Luca, Mr. Briggs' assistant.
00:40:02We have an opening to assist Mr. Briggs with document handling, and you're perfect for it.
00:40:06No, thanks, but this position doesn't suit me.
00:40:09I'd rather join a group with my peers.
00:40:11Miss Russell, this is a great opportunity.
00:40:19Is everything settled?
00:40:21Mr. Briggs, Miss Russell turned down the offer.
00:40:25Smart girl.
00:40:31Stella, we just finished today's data.
00:40:33Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:41William just set off for the underground garage.
00:40:42It's still possible to catch up.
00:41:04Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs, these files need your immediate review.
00:41:10Get in.
00:41:10We'll go over them as we drive.
00:41:19Stella is my wife.
00:41:20Who is this man?
00:41:22How dare she smile at him like that?
00:41:28You're a lot more tempting now than when you played innocent yesterday.
00:41:32Mr. Briggs, you can just leave the documents here.
00:41:36I won't follow you.
00:41:37Could you drop me off here?
00:41:45That night, I returned to our empty house and started throwing out every memory of Mark.
00:41:50The cups we made on vacation.
00:41:52I remember wishing on a shooting star that we would be happy together forever.
00:41:56What a joke.
00:41:58What a joke.
00:41:58People change.
00:41:59I see that now.
00:42:09Stella, I waited for you at the Institute for Ages.
00:42:12Did you leave by another exit?
00:42:14I got a lift home with a colleague.
00:42:20Now I have a free week.
00:42:22What do you say we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark, I've already told you, I don't want a baby right now.
00:42:31But after all these years, you always talked about wanting one before.
00:42:37Before was a long time ago.
00:42:40Tell me, Mark, how are those condoms from Raskate working out for you?
00:42:45I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:42:48You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:53I've always known.
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:57Just let me explain!
00:42:59Stella!
00:43:01Open this door!
00:43:02We need to talk about this!
00:43:07Fine.
00:43:08I'll make you dinner.
00:43:10You always soften up when I cook for you.
00:43:19Wait a minute.
00:43:20Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:21It's always right here on the counter.
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:24What happened to the capsule coffee maker from the kitchen?
00:43:27Where is it?
00:43:36Stella, open up!
00:43:37Where is the coffee machine?
00:43:40It stopped working.
00:43:41I brought it out for repairs.
00:43:43Oh.
00:43:44Well, hey, Stella.
00:43:46I really messed up.
00:43:47Please, give me another chance.
00:43:51I made your favorite meal.
00:43:52Come downstairs and eat with me?
00:43:55I'm not hungry.
00:43:57I think I'll skip it.
00:44:03Okay.
00:44:04What about that coat you got me?
00:44:05I checked the closet.
00:44:06It wasn't there.
00:44:11I got the wrong size.
00:44:13I sent it back.
00:44:14Sent it back?
00:44:16Why not just swap it for another one?
00:44:18Lately, your whole look has shifted.
00:44:20I wasn't sure what you'd actually wear.
00:44:23Anyway, it's not like you're short on clothes.
00:44:25You've got tons already.
00:44:27But you picked that coat for me, Stella.
00:44:30Whatever you choose, I'll always like it.
00:44:34I'm exhausted.
00:44:35I'm turning in for the night.
00:44:50I'm turning in for the night.
00:44:52Keep watch on her.
00:44:54I want updates on everything she does.
00:45:05I want to marry Stella and cherish her forever.
00:45:07Only time can prove a promise like that, Mark.
00:45:10We'll be old and worn by then.
00:45:12A lifetime is exactly what I plan to give you.
00:45:14I'll spend every bit of it keeping that promise.
00:45:40Mark, how long are you going to stare at that screen?
00:45:43Look at me for once.
00:45:46Stella's being impossible.
00:45:48Why won't she just sign?
00:45:51Does she really think we're powerless?
00:45:53If she walks away, we'll find someone else.
00:45:55You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:45:57The company is in chaos because of you.
00:46:00Me?
00:46:00I'm just trying to help.
00:46:02Why are Nose Camp not you?
00:46:04She's the one causing problems.
00:46:07Just...
00:46:07be quiet for a moment.
00:46:19What is it?
00:46:20Why did you freeze?
00:46:24Leave.
00:46:26What?
00:46:27But we were just discussing the contract.
00:46:30I said...
00:46:32leave.
00:46:35Now.
00:46:41I'm staying.
00:46:42Unless there's something you're hiding from me, Mark?
00:46:48Why would she be there now?
00:46:50Something isn't right.
00:46:57Legal department.
00:46:58Revite the contracts on my desk immediately.
00:47:02Mark, wait!
00:47:03Where are you going?
00:47:04What's wrong with the contracts?
00:47:06Did I mess something up?
00:47:13Hold on!
00:47:14I spent hours on those.
00:47:16Why are you taking them back?
00:47:17You're nothing but a useless leech.
00:47:21You work in legal, don't you?
00:47:23You just sit there like a statue
00:47:25while I do all the real work.
00:47:28What does this company even pay you for?
00:47:30Decoration?
00:47:31Effective immediately.
00:47:32Forget about your year-end bonus.
00:47:38Mrs. Smith,
00:47:39have you actually looked at the contracts
00:47:40you're so proud of?
00:47:43They don't even follow basic company formatting.
00:47:45It's laughable.
00:47:46A child with half a brain could have done better.
00:47:48You!
00:47:49Who do you think you are
00:47:50talking to me like that?
00:47:51I'll mark fire you on the spot!
00:47:55Too late.
00:47:56My resignation's already been submitted.
00:47:57You missed your chance to kick me out.
00:48:00And since we're being honest,
00:48:02I can't stomach people who climb with favors
00:48:04and destroy families in the process.
00:48:06You tick both boxes.
00:48:09Also, newsflash,
00:48:10waving your foreign passport around
00:48:12doesn't make you special.
00:48:13Trash from abroad is still trash.
00:48:18You shameless witch!
00:48:20Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?
00:48:21Try acting like you went to college
00:48:23instead of hurling insults
00:48:24and making a spectacle of yourself.
00:48:26Anyway, I'm not on the payroll anymore.
00:48:28Cut my year-end bonus if it makes you happy.
00:48:30I'm done here.
00:48:32Did you see that?
00:48:34Who knew Alelica had that kind of nerve?
00:48:36She was pushed too far.
00:48:37Some people just dig their own graves.
00:48:39You clueless idiots!
00:48:41Just wait until Mark gets back!
00:48:42I'll make sure every single one of you
00:48:44is out on the street!
00:48:48Stella, you can't keep running yourself
00:48:50into the ground like this.
00:48:52What if you faint?
00:48:54I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:48:56Trust me, I know my limits.
00:48:58Hey!
00:48:58The list just came out!
00:49:00Come on, let's take a look!
00:49:01You could use a breaker.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09I must have skimmed past it.
00:49:10Let me look again, from the top.
00:49:18Lainey?
00:49:19It's not there.
00:49:21My name simply isn't there.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24That's impossible!
00:49:27I'm looking right at it!
00:49:29How can you not be on the list?
00:49:37Hey, it's alright.
00:49:39Missing out on this one
00:49:40isn't the end of the world.
00:49:42I'm fine, really.
00:49:43You sure?
00:49:44You don't look fine.
00:49:45Honestly, I'm okay.
00:49:46Don't fuss over me.
00:49:48Go take care of your own work.
00:49:55If I can't join the project,
00:49:56so be it.
00:49:58The marriage is already finished.
00:50:00It's time to disappear for a while.
00:50:03Miss Russell,
00:50:04try not to let the list get to you.
00:50:06Luca, you really have no talent
00:50:08for comforting people,
00:50:09you know that?
00:50:10Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner
00:50:11at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:50:13If you're not busy,
00:50:14maybe you should come.
00:50:15It might give him a chance
00:50:16to reconsider.
00:50:17You helped him with his plans.
00:50:19If he made up his mind
00:50:20to exclude me,
00:50:20what's the point
00:50:21in showing up to beg?
00:50:22That won't be necessary.
00:50:24Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:50:26I'm sure he's found
00:50:27someone better suited
00:50:28for the team.
00:50:33Mark will discover the divorce agreement
00:50:35sooner or later.
00:50:36He'll move heaven and earth
00:50:37to hunt me down,
00:50:38but his attention
00:50:39is tangled up with Haley now.
00:50:40He won't waste much effort
00:50:42tracking me
00:50:42if I vanish completely
00:50:43from his radar.
00:50:45The farther I run,
00:50:47the safer I'll be.
00:50:52Stella, you're taking leave?
00:50:54Is this because you weren't
00:50:55on the project list?
00:50:56I just need a break, Lainey.
00:50:58You've seen how hard
00:50:59I've been working.
00:51:00You deserve it.
00:51:01You're always the first
00:51:02to arrive and the last
00:51:03to leave.
00:51:04Rest well.
00:51:07Mr. Briggs,
00:51:08that's Ms. Russell.
00:51:09She took extended leave today.
00:51:11She doesn't look happy.
00:51:12Should we tell her the truth
00:51:13about the team selection?
00:51:15She saw us.
00:51:18Sir?
00:51:19She's walking away.
00:51:20Fast.
00:51:21She's running.
00:51:22It's fine.
00:51:22She's not the delicate type.
00:51:24Drive.
00:51:25Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:51:27Where are you?
00:51:32Blocked.
00:51:33She actually blocked my number.
00:51:38If she's not coming home,
00:51:39where is she going?
00:51:46There she is.
00:51:47Finally.
00:51:49Wait a minute.
00:51:53It's the same one
00:51:55she got into before.
00:52:06How could Stella
00:52:07have any tie
00:52:08to William Briggs?
00:52:23Stella, why haven't you
00:52:25come home these past few days?
00:52:26I've just had a lot going on.
00:52:28So being busy means
00:52:29you have to clear out
00:52:29all your things?
00:52:30Half the house is empty,
00:52:32Stella,
00:52:32and everything missing
00:52:33belongs to you.
00:52:35You even blocked my number.
00:52:37And the wedding photo,
00:52:38it's gone.
00:52:38Where did you put
00:52:40everything, Stella?
00:52:41So he finally noticed.
00:52:43I ran into a little
00:52:44financial trouble,
00:52:45so I pawned my things.
00:52:46Once I've sorted things out,
00:52:48I'll get them back.
00:52:48If you needed money,
00:52:50why didn't you just tell me?
00:52:51There was no reason
00:52:52to pawn your things.
00:52:53Take these.
00:52:54Use them for whatever you want.
00:52:57That's not necessary.
00:52:59I've already sorted
00:53:00the money myself.
00:53:01You can keep those cards.
00:53:02Stella,
00:53:03what are you hiding from me?
00:53:04We're still husband and wife.
00:53:05No matter what's going on,
00:53:07good or bad,
00:53:07you can tell me.
00:53:08I'll handle it with you.
00:53:09You don't have to
00:53:10shoulder everything alone.
00:53:15There's nothing to tell.
00:53:17Work's been busy
00:53:18at the Institute,
00:53:19and I have a business trip
00:53:20coming up.
00:53:21I'll be out of town
00:53:21for a while.
00:53:24Wait!
00:53:32Go to the airport.
00:53:40So he's tailing me.
00:54:09Ma'am,
00:54:10if you help me out,
00:54:11I'll give you $500.
00:54:12When you head back in,
00:54:13just dump the water
00:54:14from your bucket
00:54:15onto the man waiting
00:54:15outside the restroom.
00:54:18He's been following me
00:54:19since I left home.
00:54:20I'm desperate.
00:54:20Please,
00:54:21if you can pull this off,
00:54:22the money's yours.
00:54:24Please,
00:54:25don't let him know
00:54:25I'm gone.
00:54:26And thank you.
00:54:27Really.
00:54:37What the hell are you doing?
00:54:38Oh my goodness, sir,
00:54:39I'm so sorry.
00:54:40I didn't see you
00:54:41standing there.
00:54:42I thought you were just
00:54:43part of the plumbing.
00:54:45Oh gosh,
00:54:45let me get that for you.
00:54:49Oh my gosh.
00:54:55I'm sorry.
00:54:56I'm sorry.
00:54:57I'm really sorry.
00:54:59Enough!
00:54:59Just go!
00:55:00Don't bother me!
00:55:07Stella,
00:55:08do you really think
00:55:08this will get rid of me?
00:55:16Hello?
00:55:17Stella.
00:55:18How much longer
00:55:19are you going to keep
00:55:19pestering Mark?
00:55:20He's finished with you.
00:55:22Why don't you have
00:55:22a little dignity
00:55:23and let go?
00:55:24Maybe you need
00:55:25a reminder, Haley.
00:55:26Mark and I are still married.
00:55:27The law is on my side.
00:55:29So tell me,
00:55:30who gave you permission
00:55:31to call me
00:55:31and hurl accusations?
00:55:33I'm not here
00:55:34to fight with you!
00:55:36Why don't you come over
00:55:37so we can talk
00:55:37face to face?
00:55:39It's simple.
00:55:40The one who isn't loved
00:55:42is always the third wheel.
00:55:44Take my advice
00:55:45and know your place.
00:55:46Is this really
00:55:47what the Smith family
00:55:48taught you?
00:55:49To meddle in marriages
00:55:51and play the mistress?
00:55:52It's almost admirable
00:55:53how you can spout
00:55:54this nonsense
00:55:55without a single
00:55:56scrap of dignity.
00:55:58You'd better
00:55:58watch your mouth!
00:55:59I've got better things
00:56:00to do than play along
00:56:01with your bullshit.
00:56:02Maybe try focusing
00:56:03on the Walsh group's
00:56:04plummeting profits
00:56:05instead of
00:56:06pestering me.
00:56:08Stella,
00:56:10How could you speak
00:56:11to Haley like that?
00:56:12So you're her backup?
00:56:14Of course.
00:56:14Siding with anyone
00:56:15you think can benefit
00:56:16your precious son.
00:56:17You better show up
00:56:17right now.
00:56:18Let me make this clear.
00:56:19Clinging to my son
00:56:20will get you nowhere.
00:56:21You are nothing
00:56:21but a burden
00:56:22to our family.
00:56:22Come to the Voyage Hotel
00:56:23immediately.
00:56:24If not,
00:56:25you can face
00:56:26the consequences.
00:56:30Fine.
00:56:31I'm on my way.
00:56:47So,
00:56:47you finally
00:56:48bothered to show up.
00:56:49I want you to
00:56:50divorce my son
00:56:51right now.
00:56:53And why is that?
00:56:54What have you ever
00:56:55done for the Walsh family?
00:56:56You can't even
00:56:57give us a child.
00:56:59Useless.
00:57:00There's no place
00:57:01for a barren hen
00:57:01like you.
00:57:02Her family is nothing.
00:57:04Raised without manners.
00:57:06You shouldn't
00:57:07lower yourself,
00:57:08Jaiselyn.
00:57:09Get those divorce papers
00:57:11ready by Monday.
00:57:12I refuse to tolerate
00:57:13you for one more day.
00:57:15Fine.
00:57:16I'll divorce him.
00:57:18What do you want
00:57:19out of this, Stella?
00:57:21I'm not making
00:57:22any demands.
00:57:23Divorce is fine
00:57:24by me.
00:57:30But, Jaiselyn,
00:57:31I expect you
00:57:32to pay back
00:57:32every cent
00:57:33I spent
00:57:33on your beauty
00:57:34appointments
00:57:34and imported
00:57:35supplements.
00:57:36The health
00:57:37supplements
00:57:37you're taking
00:57:38every month,
00:57:38why not ask
00:57:39Mark who's
00:57:39really footing
00:57:39the bill?
00:57:40And everyone
00:57:41at the casino
00:57:41knows exactly
00:57:42how many toes
00:57:43you've stepped on.
00:57:45Stella,
00:57:46don't you dare
00:57:46get greedy with me.
00:57:47Why should I
00:57:47pay you back
00:57:48a cent?
00:57:48Those supplements,
00:57:49my son paid
00:57:50for them.
00:57:50As for the salon
00:57:51visits,
00:57:52I cover those
00:57:52with my own
00:57:53membership.
00:57:54Stella,
00:57:54honestly,
00:57:54isn't this
00:57:55a little beneath
00:57:55you?
00:57:56Or could it
00:57:56be you're
00:57:56not actually
00:57:57ready for
00:57:57this divorce
00:57:58and you're
00:57:58just making
00:57:59excuses to
00:57:59keep Jaisen
00:58:00on a leash?
00:58:01I'm just
00:58:02laying out
00:58:02the truth here.
00:58:03That membership
00:58:04card you're
00:58:04so fond of?
00:58:05My friend
00:58:06owns the salon.
00:58:06I got you
00:58:07a 90% discount.
00:58:08Please,
00:58:09Mrs. Walsh,
00:58:09don't worry.
00:58:10From now on,
00:58:10I'll make sure
00:58:10you have everything
00:58:11you need.
00:58:11Your standard
00:58:12of living drop,
00:58:12I swear.
00:58:13Supplements,
00:58:14salon treatments,
00:58:14I have plenty
00:58:15of connections.
00:58:15I'll handle it all.
00:58:16These are just
00:58:17the tip of the
00:58:17iceberg.
00:58:18Fine.
00:58:19If you claim
00:58:20all that's gone,
00:58:20then so be it.
00:58:21But I want you
00:58:22to divorce my son
00:58:23right now.
00:58:23All right.
00:58:24But a divorce
00:58:25requires both parties
00:58:26to show up.
00:58:27If you can get
00:58:28Mark here,
00:58:28I won't stand
00:58:29in your way.
00:58:32If you're so
00:58:33determined,
00:58:33maybe spend your
00:58:34energy convincing
00:58:34him instead of
00:58:35wasting mine.
00:58:41She really has
00:58:42no idea
00:58:42what's coming.
00:58:43We gave her
00:58:44the chance
00:58:44to bow out
00:58:45gracefully,
00:58:46and she turned
00:58:46it down.
00:58:47She'll see.
00:58:48Once her name's
00:58:49dragged through
00:58:49the mud,
00:58:50Mark won't even
00:58:50look her way.
00:58:51And by then,
00:58:52leaving won't be
00:58:53her decision anymore.
00:58:54Jaiselyn,
00:58:55you're the best.
00:58:55I swear.
00:58:56I'll be the most
00:58:57loyal daughter-in-law
00:58:58you've ever had.
00:59:27Mr. Briggs,
00:59:28I really believe
00:59:29Miss Russell
00:59:29is the ideal choice
00:59:30for the project.
00:59:31She's head and shoulders
00:59:32above the others.
00:59:34Also, earlier today
00:59:35when she saw our
00:59:36car, she looked
00:59:37hesitant, almost
00:59:38anxious, and left
00:59:39right after.
00:59:39It felt like she
00:59:40didn't want to be
00:59:41misunderstood.
00:59:42Honestly, sir,
00:59:42I don't believe
00:59:43she's the kind of
00:59:44woman you perceive
00:59:44her to be.
00:59:45She's always been
00:59:46composed and
00:59:46respectful in
00:59:47everything she does.
00:59:48My attention is
00:59:49needed elsewhere.
00:59:50Inform me of our
00:59:51guest's arrival.
00:59:55It looked like
00:59:56Stella.
00:59:59No, it couldn't
01:00:01have been her.
01:00:27Please.
01:00:28I'll give you
01:00:29anything you want.
01:00:30Just let me go.
01:00:36Quit fighting.
01:00:38We're not here to
01:00:38harm you.
01:00:39We just need a few
01:00:40dirty pictures.
01:00:41Pictures?
01:00:42What kind of
01:00:43pictures?
01:00:51Who asked you to do
01:00:52this?
01:00:52I have money.
01:00:53Whatever they paid
01:00:54you, I'll match it
01:00:54and add more.
01:00:55Don't bother.
01:00:56This will be over soon
01:00:56if you stop fighting.
01:00:57You're committing a
01:00:58crime.
01:00:58Sooner or later,
01:00:59you'll be arrested.
01:01:00I will report
01:01:00everything and none
01:01:01of you will walk
01:01:02away clean.
01:01:02Or you take my
01:01:03money now, walk out
01:01:04that door and I
01:01:05never mention this
01:01:05again.
01:01:06Think it over.
01:01:06Don't waste your
01:01:07energy.
01:01:09Hayley?
01:01:12There's no way
01:01:13out.
01:01:13Since we're going to
01:01:14stage something like
01:01:15this, it better look
01:01:17real.
01:01:17Stage what?
01:01:19People care about
01:01:20believability now.
01:01:21These are your
01:01:22props.
01:01:23Use them however you
01:01:24want.
01:01:24And don't bother with
01:01:26condoms.
01:01:34Hayley, this is
01:01:34illegal.
01:01:35You think foreign
01:01:36citizenship makes
01:01:37you untouchable?
01:01:41You bunch of
01:01:42wimps.
01:01:42I'll handle it.
01:01:46And you, Stella,
01:01:48you really think
01:01:49you're on Mark's
01:01:49level?
01:01:50He's the one who
01:01:51told me to do this.
01:01:52He wants you
01:01:52punished.
01:02:03There.
01:02:04The contract is
01:02:05binding.
01:02:06Your patent rights
01:02:07now belong to my
01:02:07family.
01:02:08For free.
01:02:09She's all yours,
01:02:10boys.
01:02:10Enjoy.
01:02:11Damn, you smell
01:02:12good.
01:02:13So soft.
01:02:14But you look real
01:02:15pretty crying.
01:02:16Which toy should we
01:02:16use first?
01:02:19Don't touch me.
01:02:25What the hell?
01:02:27Get these
01:02:27bastards out of here.
01:02:30No!
01:02:30Let go of me!
01:02:38Are you all right?
01:02:41The ropes are off.
01:02:43You're safe now.
01:02:46I'm all right, thanks.
01:02:49Come on.
01:02:50Let's get you out of here.
01:02:59Careful.
01:03:08Mr. Briggs,
01:03:10we've identified
01:03:11those people,
01:03:11but say it,
01:03:13she deserves the truth.
01:03:15Some of them
01:03:15carry infectious diseases.
01:03:17If they'd laid a hand
01:03:18on Mrs. Russell,
01:03:18the fallout
01:03:19would have been
01:03:19catastrophic.
01:03:22Haley,
01:03:23she meant to
01:03:23destroy me.
01:03:24Mr. Briggs,
01:03:25thank you for
01:03:26everything you've
01:03:26done today,
01:03:27but from here on out,
01:03:28I'll handle it myself.
01:03:29This isn't your battle.
01:03:39A clean divorce
01:03:40was all I wanted,
01:03:41but their cruelty
01:03:42has gone too far.
01:03:43If that's how
01:03:44they want to play,
01:03:45then I'm finished
01:03:45being merciful.
01:03:57where do you think
01:03:58you're going?
01:04:00Your IV's still running.
01:04:07Where do you think
01:04:14you're going?
01:04:16Your IV's still running.
01:04:20Stella?
01:04:21What on earth
01:04:22happened to you?
01:04:25I'm alright,
01:04:26Lainey.
01:04:28You are not alright.
01:04:29Oh dear,
01:04:30what happened?
01:04:31Don't be scared,
01:04:32I'm right here.
01:04:33Tell me who did this
01:04:33to you.
01:04:39It was Mark
01:04:40and Haley.
01:04:43Mark?
01:04:44Did he lay a hand
01:04:45on you?
01:04:46Has he completely
01:04:47lost his mind?
01:04:48No,
01:04:49he didn't touch me.
01:04:50Can we talk inside?
01:04:54Haley did that to you?
01:04:55She ought to be
01:04:56behind bars.
01:04:58She forced me
01:04:59to imprint my fingerprint
01:05:00on the document
01:05:00when I had no strength left.
01:05:02They didn't partner
01:05:03with me, Lainey.
01:05:04They stole the patent.
01:05:07Don't stress.
01:05:08I'll help you
01:05:09get it back.
01:05:09Mark,
01:05:09I found another
01:05:10buyer for you.
01:05:11I've been putting
01:05:12together the contract.
01:05:13But Haley already
01:05:15took the contract
01:05:16with my fingerprint.
01:05:17The buyer I found
01:05:18is trustworthy.
01:05:19Once you sign
01:05:20his contract,
01:05:21he'll take care
01:05:21of everything.
01:05:22What Haley did
01:05:23was illegal.
01:05:28I can't believe Mark.
01:05:30All those years
01:05:31he acted like
01:05:31the perfect partner.
01:05:33It was a facade.
01:05:34It makes me sick.
01:05:35How could he be
01:05:36so cruel?
01:05:38Now that everything
01:05:39had blown up,
01:05:40I had no intention
01:05:41of that.
01:05:42I had no intention
01:05:43of playing nice anymore.
01:05:44Lainey,
01:05:45I need a little help.
01:05:47Name it.
01:05:48As long as it's
01:05:49something I can do,
01:05:50I'm on your side.
01:05:55Could you help me
01:05:56with this?
01:06:09She's cutting me off.
01:06:11Proving a point.
01:06:13Haley, where are you?
01:06:14At the spa.
01:06:15Why?
01:06:16Miss me already?
01:06:17There's a charity gala
01:06:18tomorrow night.
01:06:18Come with me.
01:06:19With you?
01:06:19To a public event?
01:06:21Of course!
01:06:22This is perfect.
01:06:23Tomorrow,
01:06:23everyone will see the photos
01:06:24of Stella's humiliation.
01:06:25Mark will have no choice
01:06:26but to drop her for good.
01:06:27But Mark,
01:06:28I don't have a dress.
01:06:31I'll pick you up early.
01:06:32We'll go shopping.
01:06:33You're the best!
01:06:34Love you!
01:06:34This gala is important.
01:06:36A new partner will be there.
01:06:37Haley's family name
01:06:38might just give me
01:06:39the edge I need.
01:06:40Stella wants to fight dirty?
01:06:41I can play that game too.
01:06:44Mark,
01:06:44what about this one?
01:06:46Yeah,
01:06:46looks good.
01:06:47You haven't even looked.
01:06:48Look at me properly.
01:06:49It suits you.
01:06:50The color works.
01:06:51I'll take it.
01:06:52Stella never needed all this.
01:06:54A t-shirt,
01:06:54a ponytail,
01:06:5510 minutes,
01:06:55and she was ready.
01:06:56Not a whole day.
01:07:02Who's that with Mr. Walsh?
01:07:04The Smith girl?
01:07:05They look awfully close.
01:07:07Is it an affair?
01:07:08No way!
01:07:09Did Mr. Walsh
01:07:10already divorce his wife?
01:07:14Divorce.
01:07:17Divorce.
01:07:18Divorce.
01:07:19Divorce.
01:07:21Divorce.
01:07:25Let them whisper, Mark.
01:07:27Tonight,
01:07:28they see you with me,
01:07:29not her.
01:07:30Keep your chin up
01:07:30and ignore them.
01:07:31We need to find Mr. Williams.
01:07:33Today is the day
01:07:33Stella finally loses everything.
01:07:39Mr. Williams,
01:07:40it's been too long.
01:07:41Mr. Walsh,
01:07:43a pleasure.
01:07:44And you are?
01:07:45Haley.
01:07:46I'm a great admirer
01:07:47of your work, sir.
01:07:49I see.
01:07:52Williams!
01:07:53There you are!
01:07:53We need to talk!
01:07:54Mark,
01:07:55forget him.
01:07:56It's time.
01:08:01Nothing.
01:08:02There's nothing here.
01:08:03What are you talking about?
01:08:04Put the phone away.
01:08:05Where is Jaiselyn?
01:08:06She had all day.
01:08:07Did she get cold feet?
01:08:08Come here.
01:08:09Now.
01:08:09Ladies,
01:08:10I must be going.
01:08:11My son and daughter-in-law
01:08:12need me.
01:08:13Daughter-in-law?
01:08:14Since when?
01:08:17A message from Haley!
01:08:19She must have the photos already.
01:08:21She wants me there
01:08:22for the big reveal.
01:08:23Oh,
01:08:23this is going to be perfect.
01:08:32Jaiselyn!
01:08:33Jaiselyn!
01:08:34Jaiselyn!
01:08:37You look gorgeous.
01:08:38Did Mark pick it?
01:08:40He did.
01:08:41He said the color suits me.
01:08:44Darling,
01:08:46why did you call me here?
01:08:47My mother is arriving soon
01:08:49to sign a major deal
01:08:49with Mark.
01:08:50But with my current status,
01:08:52things are complicated.
01:08:55Stella signed away the patent.
01:08:57She has nothing left
01:08:58to bargain with.
01:08:59She's powerless now.
01:09:02Don't worry, dear.
01:09:03I understand perfectly.
01:09:05I will handle it.
01:09:13Mom,
01:09:14what the hell
01:09:15are you doing here?
01:09:19Why shouldn't I be here, Mark?
01:09:21To tell everyone the truth
01:09:23about your pathetic wife?
01:09:25Don't you dare.
01:09:26Stella is not worthy of you.
01:09:29She's been messing around
01:09:31with other men
01:09:32behind your back!
01:09:37A shameless woman
01:09:39dragging the Walsh name
01:09:41through the mud!
01:09:46You need to divorce her.
01:09:49Divorce her right now
01:09:50before she ruins us all!
01:09:52That's enough!
01:09:57What nonsense
01:09:58are you spouting
01:09:59in front of everyone?
01:10:04Look at you, Mark.
01:10:06Still defending that woman?
01:10:07She's been cheating on you!
01:10:09Hayley is the one
01:10:10who deserves you!
01:10:11Divorce Stella already!
01:10:14Don't worry, Jaslyn.
01:10:15I'll take good care of Mark.
01:10:18Cheating?
01:10:19What are you talking about?
01:10:20Stella would never...
01:10:22Mom,
01:10:23what are you really doing here?
01:10:25I told you,
01:10:26I've seen the disgusting photos.
01:10:28And you're still defending her?
01:10:31Here.
01:10:32Stella signed this contract herself.
01:10:34She's guilty, Mark.
01:10:36She's trying to clean up
01:10:37her mess quietly.
01:10:38She signed this?
01:10:39Why?
01:10:40Was my mother right?
01:10:42Did she betray me with William?
01:10:49Stella.
01:10:57It can't be.
01:10:58After everything we did,
01:11:00how is she standing there?
01:11:02She wouldn't dare show her face.
01:11:05Not tonight.
01:11:06Not after those photos.
01:11:17Mark.
01:11:17Don't let her intimidate you.
01:11:19My family is reasonable.
01:11:21They won't judge you for leaving her.
01:11:26Mr. Walsh,
01:11:27our family usually wouldn't consider
01:11:29a divorced man.
01:11:29But since Hayley has chosen you,
01:11:31we won't stand in your way.
01:11:32Just make sure you resolve things
01:11:34with your ex-wife properly.
01:11:35Everyone knows the problems
01:11:36in your marriage weren't your fault.
01:11:40Stella, is it?
01:11:41After everything you've done,
01:11:43you'd be wise to sign the divorce papers
01:11:44and spare yourself the shame.
01:11:46Tell me, Mark,
01:11:48what was my crime in this marriage?
01:11:50What did I do to deserve
01:11:51this treatment from you?
01:11:52Stella, this isn't...
01:11:55You have the nerve
01:11:56to ask what you did wrong?
01:11:57You were sleeping around
01:11:58while married,
01:11:58openly shameless.
01:11:59I used to think you refused to divorce
01:12:01because you had real feelings for Mark.
01:12:03But how could you take
01:12:03such vulgar pictures
01:12:04with other men?
01:12:05The props, the outfits.
01:12:06I never expected you to be like that.
01:12:08I won't let Mark continue
01:12:09to be with someone like you.
01:12:11Seriously, Stella?
01:12:12Are you really that reckless?
01:12:14That's disgusting.
01:12:15Honestly,
01:12:16someone from outside our circle
01:12:17wouldn't understand basic decency.
01:12:19No wonder Mark would rather be
01:12:21with the Smith girl
01:12:21after what she pulled
01:12:22who could tolerate their wife
01:12:24being with other men.
01:12:28You're accusing me
01:12:30of sleeping around, Haley.
01:12:31Do you have proof?
01:12:33Everyone is talking about it.
01:12:35No, you are talking about it.
01:12:37And without proof,
01:12:38it's slander.
01:12:39I can take you to court.
01:12:41You speak with such detail.
01:12:43About the toys,
01:12:45the outfits.
01:12:46Were you hiding in the room?
01:12:48Or did you set it all up?
01:12:51Well, someone saw it
01:12:52and told me.
01:12:54The truth always comes out, Stella.
01:12:57Alright then.
01:12:58If you're so confident,
01:12:59show us the evidence.
01:13:00What toys?
01:13:01Which men?
01:13:02Let's see it.
01:13:04Jaiselyn!
01:13:05Haley, show them the proof already.
01:13:07Didn't you say
01:13:08you saw everything yourself?
01:13:09What?
01:13:10I thought you had the photos!
01:13:11What's wrong?
01:13:12Can't find your proof now?
01:13:15Want me to give you a hand?
01:13:17Maybe I should start laying out
01:13:18the details of your little affair
01:13:20with Mark.
01:13:22Should I tell everyone
01:13:23what you two have been doing
01:13:24behind closed doors?
01:13:29Stella, wait!
01:13:31Please, let me explain!
01:13:38Stella, I trust you.
01:13:41Please, just hear me out.
01:13:43Don't lay of hander on me!
01:13:45I feel sick just looking at you.
01:13:54Is this your idea of love, Mark?
01:13:56Loving two women at once?
01:13:58It's pathetic.
01:14:08Stella, what happened to you?
01:14:10What happened?
01:14:12Isn't it obvious?
01:14:14Those are the marks
01:14:15from her night
01:14:16with those men.
01:14:18Her night with them?
01:14:20She's a man.
01:14:20You only signed the contract
01:14:22because you were scared
01:14:23we'd expose you!
01:14:25You were begging them
01:14:26not to stop!
01:14:28You kept saying
01:14:29how much you liked it!
01:14:32And now you want to act
01:14:33like you're the victim?
01:14:35You know what you did
01:14:36is a crime, right?
01:14:37You could go to prison for this.
01:14:41Stella?
01:14:45What is she talking about?
01:14:47Were you with other men?
01:14:50Mrs. Russell,
01:14:51how dare you spout
01:14:52such lies about my daughter?
01:14:54That accusation
01:14:54is completely out of line.
01:14:56Mr. Walsh,
01:14:57I only agreed to work with you
01:14:59because of Haley.
01:15:00After this slander,
01:15:01I see no reason to continue.
01:15:02Come, Haley.
01:15:03Mother, wait.
01:15:05I don't want to go.
01:15:06Hold on.
01:15:07Haley, what exactly
01:15:08did you do to Stella?
01:15:09Mark, I haven't done anything.
01:15:11Don't you believe me?
01:15:11Hasn't Stella been ignoring you lately?
01:15:14Staying away from home?
01:15:15If she's so innocent,
01:15:17then why hasn't she come back to you?
01:15:19Before you say a word, Mark...
01:15:31Do whatever you want.
01:15:32If anything goes wrong,
01:15:34I'll handle it.
01:15:36Stella,
01:15:37Mark told me to handle this.
01:15:41You refused to sign the contract nicely,
01:15:44so this is your punishment.
01:15:50What now, Haley?
01:15:51Got anything to say?
01:15:54Or are you going to tell everyone
01:15:56that the recording is fake?
01:15:57What?
01:15:58You actually sent people to rape Stella?
01:16:01Haley, our plan was just to take some fake photos.
01:16:04That was it!
01:16:05I never agreed to something criminal!
01:16:07You're more ruthless than I ever imagined!
01:16:26Mark, please!
01:16:27It's not what it looks like!
01:16:28Nobody believes me!
01:16:29I believe my own ears, Haley.
01:16:32How could you?
01:16:34It was your mother!
01:16:35Jaiselyn told me to do it!
01:16:36What?
01:16:36You dare lie about me?
01:16:38It's the truth!
01:16:39You said Stella couldn't have kids!
01:16:41That she wasn't good enough for Mark!
01:16:44You wanted her gone!
01:16:47This was all your idea!
01:16:49Stop blaming me without proof!
01:16:51You've lost your mind!
01:16:52Mother,
01:16:54that sounds exactly like something you would say.
01:16:56Mark,
01:16:57she's trying to tear our family apart!
01:16:59Don't listen to her!
01:17:01Mr. Briggs,
01:17:02Miss Russell has signed the contract.
01:17:04Did she ask for anything else?
01:17:06No, sir.
01:17:06She signed it easily.
01:17:09Just as I thought.
01:17:11Is there more?
01:17:13Mrs. Russell went to the Choria charity event by herself tonight.
01:17:17Was the Walsh family there?
01:17:19Yes,
01:17:20and there's been some drama.
01:17:21Miss Russell played a recording.
01:17:22A recording?
01:17:23So she came prepared.
01:17:28Are you heading out, Mr. Briggs?
01:17:30She's our partner now.
01:17:31If something happens to her,
01:17:32it could affect our company.
01:17:35I'll take you there, sir.
01:17:42I'll take you there, sir.
01:17:45You've got some nerve, Haley!
01:17:48You knew my son was married and still chased him.
01:17:51You hired thugs to kidnap Stella!
01:17:54Don't you dare pin that on me!
01:17:56You're the one who told me to do it!
01:17:58I was following your orders!
01:18:00Right?
01:18:08Miss Russell, I'm so sorry!
01:18:10This is all on me!
01:18:12Mark's mom tricked me, I swear!
01:18:15I never meant to hurt you.
01:18:17Whatever compensation you want,
01:18:19money, anything,
01:18:20my family will pay.
01:18:22Please, just forgive me.
01:18:23Oh?
01:18:24And how much exactly were you planning to offer?
01:18:28Whatever you want,
01:18:29just name it!
01:18:30My family can afford it!
01:18:33Stella,
01:18:34why are you even entertaining this?
01:18:38Haley,
01:18:39not everything in life can be solved
01:18:41by throwing money at it.
01:18:43I don't want your money.
01:18:45I'm taking the evidence to the police.
01:18:49Let them handle it.
01:18:50The police?
01:18:52Oh, and by the way,
01:18:53all that effort you put in,
01:18:55it was a waste.
01:18:57Your guys failed.
01:19:02I just walked away with a few scratches.
01:19:08What?
01:19:09No!
01:19:11That can't be right!
01:19:12You're lying!
01:19:16Stella.
01:19:19Thank God.
01:19:20I was so worried.
01:19:22You're safe.
01:19:26Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?
01:19:30You make me sick.
01:19:32Stella?
01:19:33I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
01:19:35I'm not done with you.
01:19:36That patent your company has been using?
01:19:41You forced me into a deal
01:19:43and kept using my work after it expired.
01:19:46That's illegal.
01:19:47The contract.
01:19:49Haley gave me that contract.
01:19:51My new partners have already taken a hit
01:19:54because of your actions.
01:19:55Even if I wanted to spare you,
01:19:57they won't.
01:19:59Prepare for a huge payout.
01:20:02Oh, come on, Stella.
01:20:04Do you really think anyone will buy that story?
01:20:07Who would dare sue the Walsh group?
01:20:13You're just trying to play the sympathy card
01:20:15so Mark won't divorce you.
01:20:17What do you even have to offer him?
01:20:19I bring him foreign investors.
01:20:21Key partnerships.
01:20:25You have nothing!
01:20:28What have you ever done besides that one lucky patent?
01:20:31If Mark hadn't backed you,
01:20:33you'd be on the streets.
01:20:35He only used it because he felt sorry for you.
01:20:38Do you seriously think you're some brilliant inventor?
01:20:44You are utterly disgraceful, Stella.
01:20:47Am I?
01:20:48Or is it the woman who proudly acts as a mistress in public?
01:20:54Is this what passes for aristocratic grace in Autridi?
01:20:57Don't you dare!
01:20:58You and your worthless patent!
01:21:00My patent is the reason the Walsh group has had any success.
01:21:03Should we review the contracts?
01:21:05The ones that show you've never paid me the monthly fees you owe?
01:21:07You're lying!
01:21:08You have no contract!
01:21:10Go on, prove it!
01:21:11Where is your evidence?
01:21:12Yes, bring it out.
01:21:13I want to see who dares to challenge the Walsh family.
01:21:18I'm the one who signed her patent?
01:21:20Is there an issue with that?
01:21:26I signed the contract.
01:21:27Does anyone here have a problem with it?
01:21:29William, you?
01:21:30After years of working with the Walsh group,
01:21:32Ms. Russell hasn't received a single payment.
01:21:34Let me make this clear to everyone.
01:21:36I run a principled company.
01:21:37You will be paid every cent you are owed, Mrs. Russell.
01:21:40And my legal team will assist you in recovering everything you are entitled to.
01:21:45I'd never seen him look at me like that before.
01:21:48Was it real?
01:21:49Or was my mind just playing tricks on me?
01:21:57And who exactly do you think you are?
01:21:59Did Stella hire you to play along in this little act of hers?
01:22:02Saying you signed a contract doesn't make it real.
01:22:04What matters is proof, not who can talk the biggest game.
01:22:10It's been a while since I've come across such pure stupidity.
01:22:13It's almost entertaining.
01:22:15It's almost entertaining.
01:22:15William Briggs.
01:22:16Heir to the Briggs family and Brissette.
01:22:19The MU project with the Achire Royal family and the Hookwood Research Institute?
01:22:24All under my name.
01:22:25Is that enough to qualify for Mrs. Russell's patent?
01:22:30Stella, come here.
01:22:31You're still my wife.
01:22:32My husband is trying to save face.
01:22:35How pathetic.
01:22:36Oh?
01:22:36So you do remember she's your wife, Mr. Walsh?
01:22:39That's funny.
01:22:40I thought the woman beside you was your true match.
01:22:45Stella, I said, come here.
01:22:47Now!
01:22:48Mark, stop the act.
01:22:50I was serious when I said I wanted a divorce.
01:22:52You betrayed me first.
01:22:54Did you really think I would stay chained to you forever?
01:22:59Stella, I know you're upset.
01:23:01Let's just go home and talk.
01:23:03Whatever apology you want, I'll give it.
01:23:05You think an apology fixes this?
01:23:07You think I'm just making a scene?
01:23:09Mr. Briggs, thank you for recognizing my wife's talent.
01:23:12I'm so happy for her.
01:23:13Mr. Walsh, you should probably focus on calming your mistress.
01:23:17How dare you!
01:23:18And Ms. Russell's patent speaks for itself.
01:23:21It has nothing to do with you, so don't try to take credit.
01:23:24You're enjoying this, aren't you, Stella?
01:23:26I'm enjoying someone finally seeing through your performance.
01:23:39Get out of my way!
01:23:41No.
01:23:54We received a little report of kidnapping and assault.
01:23:56Haley Smith, Mark Wald, and Jaiselyn Wald, please come with us.
01:24:00What?
01:24:00She really called the police?
01:24:02Mom, I don't want to go!
01:24:03Officer, this must be a mistake.
01:24:05You can't arrest my daughter over a simple accusation.
01:24:07We'll sort that out at the station, ma'am.
01:24:08Please don't interfere.
01:24:09Mom, do something!
01:24:10Call someone!
01:24:12I can't.
01:24:13My name means nothing here.
01:24:17Mrs. Smith, put your hands behind your back.
01:24:19You're coming with us.
01:24:22No, I do not.
01:24:30No!
01:24:31I didn't do anything wrong!
01:24:32Why are you taking me?
01:24:33Ma'am, if you're innocent, the truth will come out.
01:24:34Please cooperate.
01:24:35Mom, say something!
01:24:37Stella's lying to them!
01:24:38My daughter.
01:24:39They're putting you in handcuffs.
01:24:41Jaiselyn Wald?
01:24:42I don't know anything.
01:24:43I swear.
01:24:44I'll come with you.
01:24:45I'll tell you everything I know.
01:24:51Where are you going?
01:24:54Back to the research center.
01:24:56That's on my way.
01:24:58I'll drop you.
01:24:59There's no need, Mr. Briggs.
01:25:00I can manage.
01:25:01I helped you once, and now you're trying to keep your distance?
01:25:20Oh!
01:25:23I am so sorry.
01:25:26I...
01:25:28Stella.
01:25:29Sorry.
01:25:30I...
01:25:31I didn't mean to.
01:25:42Don't move.
01:25:54I'm so sorry, Mr. Briggs.
01:25:55The car turned.
01:25:56I lost my balance.
01:25:57I swear I have no improper intentions towards you whatsoever.
01:26:00I can see that.
01:26:01No, you don't believe me.
01:26:02If I have any improper thoughts about you, then may I get hit by a car the moment I step
01:26:06outside?
01:26:06There's no need for such a dramatic curse.
01:26:09I'm not blind.
01:26:09I saw what happened.
01:26:11Well, you were basically blind last time.
01:26:14Where did that come from?
01:26:21Mr. Briggs, I feel like you have a bias against me.
01:26:24It makes things really difficult whenever you're around.
01:26:28When have I ever made things difficult for you?
01:26:35Forget I said anything.
01:26:37Just pretend I was rambling.
01:26:41Ms. Russell, you took my measurements earlier.
01:26:45I...
01:26:45Yes?
01:26:48So the suit should fit perfectly this time, right?
01:26:51This time?
01:26:52But you told me not to waste my time on trivial things.
01:26:57We've arrived at the Research Institute's dormitory, Ms. Russell.
01:27:00Please take care.
01:27:10Stella, you're back!
01:27:12How did it go?
01:27:13Is everything alright?
01:27:15It went well, Lainey.
01:27:17Thanks to you and that recorder.
01:27:19Everyone know Haley framed me.
01:27:20Good!
01:27:21Those two snakes deserve everything that's coming to them.
01:27:24I hope they rot!
01:27:25Speaking of things coming to them...
01:27:26Why didn't you tell me Mr. Briggs was behind the company I signed with?
01:27:29Wait.
01:27:30What are you talking about?
01:27:32The new contract.
01:27:34It's with a subsidiary of the Briggs Group.
01:27:36Oh my god!
01:27:37William, you're working with him?
01:27:38I swear I had no idea!
01:27:40I just knew they seemed professional and the offer was generous.
01:27:42I never would have guessed!
01:27:43It's okay, Lainey.
01:27:44It doesn't matter.
01:27:45As long as the partnership works.
01:27:46Works?
01:27:47Stella, it's more than working.
01:27:48You're all over the internet.
01:27:50Briggs Group is suing Mark for everything he's worth.
01:27:52They are?
01:27:52Yes!
01:27:53The compensation alone might bankrupt him.
01:27:55His partners are pulling out.
01:27:56Investors are gone.
01:27:57The Walsh Group is finished!
01:28:02And Haley?
01:28:04Oh, she's not getting away.
01:28:06This has become a diplomatic issue.
01:28:08She's going to jail.
01:28:14She's going to jail.
01:28:17She's going to jail.
01:28:19She's going to jail.
01:28:21She's going to jail.
01:28:22She's going to jail.
01:28:23She's going to jail.
01:28:23She's going to jail.
