00:00:03Urgent? Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:11I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:14Who's the candidate?
00:00:16Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:32Miss me, babe?
00:00:35Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:40You're the only gift I want.
00:00:43There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:49If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:00:55Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:13Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:16Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:23Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:31Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:40You're seriously here to submit the application? You should have discussed it with Mark.
00:01:50That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees begging for mercy.
00:01:54Come on. We're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:58No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:02:05Come on, Elmar. Be good.
00:02:09Oh, good.
00:02:10I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:32Let go of me!
00:02:34Stella, please let me explain.
00:02:38Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43It's not what it looks like. She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:49I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:51Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:56It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:59If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest. I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:06Don't you ever say that. Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what? Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:23It's... nothing.
00:03:25I saw the name. Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear them all out.
00:04:06Sorry. This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:16What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:24How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:34Ah! Ella es escandalosa!
00:04:37Si eres lo suficientemente audaz para ser un amante, no finijas ser inocente.
00:04:42Hablo dieciséis idiomas.
00:04:45Stella.
00:04:47When will you learn Spanish?
00:04:51Ah, Mark, you must really love me, huh?
00:04:57He's okay, I was hurt! What are you doing?!
00:04:58Stella!
00:05:00What is it, Mr. Walsh?
00:05:02Hayley's just a friend.
00:05:04Do you have to humiliate us in public?
00:05:10Even if I walk in on you in bed, I should protect the family name?
00:05:14She's just a friend!
00:05:18Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:05:21And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:05:25And you, dear husband, don't get jealous.
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us.
00:05:51Mark, this is the end of us.
00:06:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:06:06It's time to end it.
00:06:20Whiskey on the rocks.
00:06:28Where the hell is she?!
00:06:54Same.
00:07:01She wouldn't dare go to someone else!
00:07:04Calm down, she's just throwing a fit.
00:07:06Insane woman, what a disgrace.
00:07:18Wanna be my one night stand?
00:07:22Don't worry, I'm fun and clean.
00:07:25Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:07:59We're going home.
00:08:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:08:05What are you doing acting like this?
00:08:14She doesn't want to.
00:08:15Don't force her.
00:08:17Who are you?!
00:08:18This is none of your business!
00:08:25He's my friend.
00:08:27Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:08:30And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:08:37Mark, calm down. Let's go.
00:08:40Friends? Is that what you call it last night?
00:08:45Stop lying!
00:08:47Stop acting.
00:08:49I see right through you.
00:08:57Let's go.
00:08:58Now!
00:09:00I said don't force her.
00:09:10I want a divorce.
00:09:15No!
00:09:17We don't do divorce!
00:09:23I'm sorry, it's Saria.
00:09:35I'm sorry, it's Saria.
00:09:40I know she's gonna get you.
00:09:40Oh, my God!
00:09:55That's not me!
00:09:55Oh, my God!
00:09:59I can't open that door!
00:10:00Oh, my God!
00:10:05Where is the big shot?
00:10:08Oh!
00:10:09Just focus on work.
00:10:20He's so hot.
00:10:22You're blushing.
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.
00:11:06How do you see it?
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.
00:11:59Who 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.
00:12:21We'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.
00:13:24A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Rascate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:29Thanks for listening.
00:13:31I don't know.
00:13:31I don't know.
00:13:42I don't know.
00:13:50I don't know.
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
00:14:20Something to remember
00:14:22I won't take long
00:14:342-1
00:14:39Stella something urgent came up at the office
00:14:41I've got to go
00:14:44Don't wait up for me
00:14:45Just 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
00:15:13Stella
00:15:15You came back
00:15:29What are you burning
00:15:37Weird how come Mark's back so early today
00:15:39What are you burning
00:15:42Nothing important just old junk
00:15:44Why are you back
00:15:45Forgot something I'll just run upstairs and grab it
00:15:54I'm sorry Stella
00:15:55Work has been non-stop
00:15:56I promise I'll make it up to you
00:15:59His phone lit up
00:16:00I saw Haley's name
00:16:02I've got to run
00:16:04How come he's heading out this late at night
00:16:06He's definitely got something to hide
00:16:10The entire box was gone
00:16:12He 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
00:16:32I had an accident my period and he lent me his coat
00:16:34I'm just returning it
00:16:36Relax he's in meetings all day you won't catch him
00:16:38Mr. Briggs
00:16:40The jacket you lent me was custom made
00:16:42So I bought another of equal value
00:16:44If you're not satisfied feel free to contact me
00:16:47And I wrote down my number
00:16:53My phone rang
00:16:54It was my husband Mark's assistant
00:16:58Calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for years
00:17:05He can't even call me himself
00:17:07He sends an assistant to handle business
00:17:10Tell him not to bother
00:17:11I'm coming to the office
00:17:12Today
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh
00:17:31It's been a while
00:17:32What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract
00:17:35Is Mark in his office?
00:17:38He should be
00:17:39Yes
00:17:42Mrs. Walsh
00:17:43You're here
00:17:46Let me show you to the legal department
00:17:48I know the way Cody
00:17:49Move
00:17:55Please maybe we should wait
00:17:57He'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
00:18:06It's not what it looks like
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest
00:18:10I should go say hello
00:18:20Urgent?
00:18:21Urgent to be in someone else's bed
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project
00:18:30Who's the candidate?
00:18:32Me
00:18:33I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here
00:18:52A gift
00:18:54You'll have to guess the password to open it
00:18:56You're the only gift I want
00:18:59There's only one like it in the world
00:19:01You like it, don't you?
00:19:06If it's truly one of a kind
00:19:08Then yes
00:19:09I love it
00:19:12Sell this
00:19:13ASAP
00:19:14Send the money here
00:19:30Come here
00:19:31Give me a hug
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the institute
00:19:34I've got to leave now
00:19:39Once work calms down
00:19:40Let's go to Midstream Island
00:19:47Sure
00:19:48When things settle down
00:19:55Mrs. Walsh, are you okay?
00:19:57He pushed you so hard
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody
00:19:59Stella, enough with the drama
00:20:01I already told you
00:20:02This isn't what you think
00:20:02Why do you keep attacking Hayley?
00:20:04Mrs. Smith
00:20:05I'm sorry on her behalf
00:20:06She didn't mean it
00:20:06For you, Mark
00:20:07I'll let it slide
00:20:08But she better get lost
00:20:09And stay away from this company
00:20:12Stella, this is a workplace
00:20:14Can we not make a scene?
00:20:16Save the fake politeness
00:20:18I'll leave when I'm done
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent
00:20:29The contract has expired
00:20:31And our partnership is over
00:20:33Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem?
00:20:35This patent is a cornerstone of our business
00:20:37No issues
00:20:39I've simply found a new buyer
00:20:43Stella, if you're upset
00:20:44Take it out on me
00:20:45Hit me, yell at me
00:20:46Whatever you want
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent
00:20:48Let's talk about this at home
00:20:50You still think I'm just being emotional?
00:20:52That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:53I'm not joking
00:20:54The deal is off
00:20:55If your company continues using my patent
00:20:56My lawyer will file for compensation
00:21:00Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent
00:21:03We're in trouble
00:21:03Multiple projects will fail
00:21:04I'll handle it
00:21:06Stella!
00:21:30William, what are you doing in my car?
00:21:32Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride
00:21:35You could have asked
00:21:36Climbing into my car like this is a bit bold
00:21:39I'm so sorry
00:21:40I didn't realize this was your car
00:21:41My mistake
00:21:42I'll get out
00:21:43Wait
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned
00:21:48I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities
00:21:50Show some professionalism
00:22:01Stella!
00:22:01Oh my god, I'm so sorry
00:22:03Let me see
00:22:04Wait
00:22:05This is already swollen
00:22:07This wasn't me
00:22:08What happened?
00:22:09It's okay, Lainey
00:22:10It's not your fault
00:22:11I'll be fine
00:22:12Don't lie to me
00:22:14You went to see Mark today
00:22:16Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:23Unbelievable!
00:22:25You're his wife!
00:22:26How dare he hit you over some other woman?
00:22:30Maybe he was always this man
00:22:31And I was just too blind to see it
00:22:40Speak of the devil
00:22:42It's Mark
00:22:50How dare you keep calling her?
00:22:52You cheat on her?
00:22:53You hit her and now you think she wants to hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend
00:22:57When you hurt her, it is my business
00:23:08She's my friend, Mark
00:23:10The least you can do is show her some respect
00:23:12Hearing your voice disgusts me
00:23:14I don't, Estella
00:23:16I need your strex
00:23:18You honestly make me sick
00:23:20You want both women?
00:23:21Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:23If your coworks and boss see me
00:23:26That won't be good for you
00:23:28So come home
00:23:32Fine
00:23:33I'll go back after I finish up here
00:23:37What if he hits you again?
00:23:39Let me come with you
00:23:41He won't
00:23:42Trust me
00:23:43He wouldn't dare
00:23:47I had the chef make all your favorites
00:23:49Come on, let's eat
00:24:00Stella, about earlier
00:24:01Haley's family has deep ties to our company
00:24:03I can't afford to upset them
00:24:04I went too far 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
00:24:13You're half the boss here
00:24:15I promise
00:24:16This won't happen again
00:24:17Today was the last time
00:24:19Just trust me
00:24:21Half the boss, huh?
00:24:23Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Stell, don't be upset
00:24:32Haley is just a friend
00:24:33Her parents are important business partners, that's all
00:24:39A friend?
00:24:41Would you kiss a friend like that?
00:24:43Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:45Let's not talk about that
00:24:48Stella, let's have a baby
00:24:50A baby?
00:24:51Yes
00:24:52Didn't you always want one?
00:24:54If we have a child, you'll always be my wife
00:24:57You won't feel so insecure
00:25:00Insecure?
00:25:01You think a child is a bargaining chip?
00:25:04A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:09Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:19I have a headache
00:25:20Maybe some other time
00:25:21Your head
00:25:22The injury
00:25:24I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention
00:25:26Let me get the first aid kits
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it
00:25:33No need for your concern now
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study
00:25:49Stella
00:25:51They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project
00:25:56What do you mean?
00:25:57I thought the list was final
00:25:59It was
00:26:00But 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
00:26:35It'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!
00:26:50Of course!
00:26:51Leave it to me
00:26:57You're home!
00:26:58Are 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
00:27:10Not eating will harm your health
00:27:12Please, have at least a little
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite
00:27:17Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxavi?
00:27:19I'll be free next month
00:27:20Let'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 Hayley 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?
00:27:51Yes
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
00:28:20Alright, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Hayley
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
00:28:33With her background in international law, the 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 Hayley takes on
00:28:49She'll be pleased
00:28:50Her family will be impressed
00:28:52And it helps our company
00:28:54You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:55It's just a renewal
00:28:59So this whole talk
00:29:00Is about using my patent to make Hayley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest
00:29:04A strong company benefits us both
00:29:07We're married, Stella
00:29:08Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:12Normal?

00:55:52it's almost admirable how you can spout this nonsense without a single scrap of dignity
00:55:57you'd better watch your mouth
00:55:59i've got better things to do than play along with your bullshit
00:56:02maybe try focusing on the walsh group's plummeting profits instead of pestering me
00:56:09stella
00:56:10how could you speak to hayley like that
00:56:12so you're her backup
00:56:13of course
00:56:14siding with anyone you think can benefit your precious son
00:56:17you better show up right now
00:56:18let me make this clear
00:56:19clinging to my son will get you nowhere

00:56:54what have you ever done for the walsh family
00:56:56you can't even give us a child
00:56:59useless
00:56:59there's no place for a barren hen like you
00:57:02her family is nothing

00:57:19what do you want out of this stella
00:57:21i'm not making any demands
00:57:23divorce is fine by me
00:57:30but jaselyn i expect you to pay back
00:57:32every cent i spent on your beauty appointments
00:57:34and imported supplements
00:57:36the health supplements you're taking every month
00:57:38why not ask mark who's really footing the bill
00:57:40and everyone at the casino knows exactly
00:57:42how many toes you've stepped on
00:57:45stella don't you dare get greedy with me
00:57:47why should i pay you back a cent
00:57:48those supplements
00:57:49my son paid for them
00:57:50as for the salon visits
00:57:52i cover those with my own membership
00:57:53stella honestly
00:57:54isn't this a little beneath you
00:57:56or could it be you're not actually ready for this divorce
00:57:58and you're just making excuses to keep jason on a leash
00:58:01i'm just laying out the truth here
00:58:03that membership card you're so fond of
00:58:05my friend owns the salon
00:58:06i got you a 90 discount
00:58:08please mrs walsh don't worry

00:58:21but i want you to divorce my son right now
00:58:23all right

00:58:27if you can get mark here
00:58:28i won't stand in your way
00:58:32if you're so determined
00:58:33maybe spend your energy convincing him
00:58:35instead of wasting mine
00:58:41she really has no idea what's coming
00:58:43we gave her the chance to bow out gracefully
00:58:46and she turned it down
00:58:47she'll see
00:58:48once her name's dragged through the mud
00:58:50mark won't even look her way
00:58:51and by then leaving won't be her decision anymore
00:58:54jaselyn you're the best
00:58:55i swear
00:58:56i'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had
00:59:26mr briggs
00:59:28i really believe miss russell is the ideal choice for the project
00:59:31she's head and shoulders above the others
00:59:34also earlier today when she saw our car
00:59:36she looked hesitant
00:59:37almost anxious
00:59:38and left right after
00:59:39it felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood
00:59:41honestly sir
00:59:42i don't believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be
00:59:45she's always been composed and respectful in everything she does
00:59:49my attention is needed elsewhere

01:11:17mark
01:11:17don't let her intimidate you
01:11:19my family is reasonable
01:11:20they won't judge you for leaving her
01:11:27mr walsh
01:11:27our family usually wouldn't consider a 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 with your ex-wife properly
01:11:35everyone knows the problems in your marriage weren't your fault
01:11:40stella is it
01:11:41after everything you've done
01:11:42you'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 this treatment
01:11:52stella this isn't
01:11:55you have the nerve to ask what you did wrong
01:11:57you were sleeping around while 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 such vulgar pictures with 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 to be with someone like you

01:12:12are you really that reckless
01:12:14that's disgusting
01:12:15honestly
01:12:16someone from outside our circle wouldn't understand basic decency
01:12:19no wonder mark would rather be with the smith girl after what she pulled
01:12:22who could tolerate their wife being with other men
01:12:29you're accusing me of sleeping around hayley
01:12:31do you have proof
