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.
00:00:33Miss 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.
00:00:56Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:14Come 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.
00:01:41You'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, Omar. Be good.
00:02:09Be good.
00:02:11I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:13I miss you so much.
00:02:33Let go of me!
00:02:34Stella.
00:02:36Please, let me explain.
00:02:38Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43It's not what it looks like.
00:02:45She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:49I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:52Is that how you secure investments?
00:02:54By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:56It's for work.
00:02:57Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:59If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest.
00:03:02I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:07Don't you ever say that.
00:03:09Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what?
00:03:19Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:23It's... nothing.
00:03:25I saw the name.
00:03:27Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear them all out.
00:04:07Sorry.
00:04:07This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card.
00:04:10It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:16What's gotten into you?
00:04:17You're disgraceful!
00:04:25How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again,
00:04:28and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:34Ah!
00:04:36She's scandalous!
00:04:37If you're so brave enough to be a lover,
00:04:40don't finish being innocent.
00:04:42I speak 16 languages.
00:04:43り 사용...
00:04:45Ya Bah!
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?
00:04:59Stella!
00:05:00What is it, Mr. Walsh?
00:05:02Haley'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?
00:05:15She's just a friend!
00:05:18All right, then, I'll go find myself a friend, too.
00:05:21And I'll do everything you and Haley have done.
00:05:26And you, dear husband, don't get jealous.
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us.
00:06:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:06:05It's time to end it.
00:06:21Whiskey 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.
00:07:07Insane woman, what a disgrace.
00:07:18Want to be my one-night stand?
00:07:22Don't worry, I'm fun and clean.
00:07:26Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:07:27Don't worry, I'm 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.
00:08:16Don'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 Haley have done.
00:08:37Mark, calm down.
00:08:39Let's go.
00:08:40Friends?
00:08:41Is that what you call it last night?
00:08:45Stop lying.
00:08:47Stop acting.
00:08:48I see right through you.
00:08:57Let's go.
00:08:58Now!
00:09:00I said don't force her.
00:09:11I want a divorce.
00:09:16No!
00:09:17We don't do divorce!
00:09:23Sorry, it's Saria.
00:09:24I said don't help.
00:09:25I said don't do divorce!
00:09:48Take care.
00:09:48You're recap.
00:09:48Have a great job.
00:09:48Forget about it.
00:09:53Thanks for taking care.
00:10:05The big shot is coming today.
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:21He'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.
00:10:45The Cthulhu
00:10:46The Cthulhu
00:10:47The Cthulhu
00:10:51The Cthulhu
00:11:17How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:23Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:12:00I'll return it later.
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.
00:12:17You don't get to control me.
00:12:21We're talking at home.
00:12:22I'm gonna go.
00:12:25I'm gonna go.
00:12:40I'm gonna go.
00:12:50I'm gonna go.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this. Let'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?
00:14:10Stella, don't be like this. You know you're the only one I care about.
00:14:14Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:16No need. I don't mind.
00:14:19I want tonight to feel special. Something to remember. I won't take long.
00:14:34Two, one.
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office. I've got to go.
00:14:45Don't wait up for me. Just get some rest after your shower.
00:14:55You swore you loved me, but you never even see me.
00:14:58You never saw that I was already gone.
00:15:11Goodbye, Mark.
00:15:15Stella?
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.
00:15:43Nothing important. Just old junk. Why are you back?
00:15:46Forgot something. I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:54I'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.
00:16:05How 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.
00:16:15He 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?
00:16:30Why 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.
00:16:48And I wrote down my number.
00:16:53My phone rang.
00:16:55It was my husband Mark's assistant.
00:16:59Calling 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.
00:17:13Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh.
00:17:32It's been a while. What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract. Is Mark in his office?
00:17:38He... should be. Yes.
00:17:43Mrs. Walsh! You're here!
00:17:47Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:49I know the way, Cody. Move.
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait. He's in a... a... a... a... a meeting.
00:17:59Stop it!
00:18:01You love it.
00:18:02A meeting? Is that what he calls her?
00:18:05Mrs. Walsh, it's not what it looks like.
00:18:08It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest. I should go say hello.
00:18:13Hello.
00:18:20Urgent?
00:18:22Urgent?
00:18:22Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:31Who's the candidate?
00:18:33Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:18:57You're the only gift I want. There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:19:06If 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 gotta leave now.
00:19:39Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:45Same every day. Feelings and pain.
00:19:48Sure. When things settle down.
00:19:56Mrs. Walsh, are you okay? He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:20:00Stella, enough with the drama. I already told you, this isn't what you think.
00:20:03Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:04Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf. She didn't mean it.
00:20:07For you, Mark, I'll let it slide.
00:20:09But she better get lost and stay away from this company.
00:20:13Stella, this is a workplace.
00:20:14Can 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.
00:20:30The contract has expired and our partnership is over.
00:20:33Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem?
00:20:35This patent is a cornerstone of our business.
00:20:38No issues.
00:20:40I've simply found a new buyer.
00:20:44Stella, if you're upset, take it out on me.
00:20:46Hit me, yell at me, whatever you want.
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent.
00:20:49Let'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,
00:20:57my lawyer will file for compensation.
00:21:01Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent, we're in trouble.
00:21:04Multiple projects will fail.
00:21:05I'll handle it.
00:21:06Stella!
00:21:30William?
00:21:31What are you doing in my car?
00:21:33Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride, you 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.
00:21:42My mistake.
00:21:43I'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!
00:22:02Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
00:22:03Let me see...
00:22:04Wait.
00:22:05This is already swollen.
00:22:08This wasn't me.
00:22:09What happened?
00:22:10It's okay, Lainey.
00:22:11It's not your fault.
00:22:12I'll be fine.
00:22:13Don't lie to me.
00:22:15You went to see Mark today.
00:22:16Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:24Unbelievable!
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.
00:22:32And I was just too blind to see it.
00:22:40Speak of the devil.
00:22:42It's Mark.
00:22:43Mark.
00:22:46Mark.
00:22:47Mark.
00:22:48Mark.
00:22:48Mark.
00:22:48Mark.
00:22:51How dare you keep calling her?
00:22:52You cheat on her?
00:22:54You hit her and now you think she wants to hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend.
00:22:58When you hurt her, it is my business.
00:23:09She's my friend, Mark.
00:23:10The least you can do is show her some respect.
00:23:13Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:15I don't, Estella.
00:23:17I 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?
00:23:24If your coworks and boss see me, that 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.
00:23:48I had the chef make all your favorites.
00:23:49Come on, let's eat.
00:24:00Stella, about earlier.
00:24:02Haley's family has deep ties to our company.
00:24:03I can't afford to upset them.
00:24:05I went too far with you.
00:24:06Right.
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.
00:24:15I promise.
00:24:16This won't happen again.
00:24:18Today was the last time.
00:24:20Just trust me.
00:24:22Half the boss, huh?
00:24:24Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Still, don't be upset.
00:24:32Haley is just a friend.
00:24:34Her parents are important business partners, that's all.
00:24:40A friend?
00:24:41Would you kiss a friend like that?
00:24:43Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:46Let's not talk about that.
00:24:48Stella, let's have a baby.
00:24:51A baby?
00:24:52Yes.
00:24:53Didn'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?
00:25:02You 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.
00:25:22Your head!
00:25:23The injury!
00:25:24I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention.
00:25:27Let me get the first aid kits.
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it.
00:25:34No need for your concern now.
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study.
00:25:50Stella!
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.
00:26:01But William is on the project now.
00:26:04William.
00:26:05William.
00:26:06And 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.
00:26:18The Briggs family owns half of Brissette.
00:26:20He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire.
00:26:24His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals.
00:26:26I just need to get on his team.
00:26:29Imagine 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.
00:26:36It'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.
00:26:42But I do need to speak with him.
00:26:44Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:47A private meeting?
00:26:49Of 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.
00:27:03I'm not hungry.
00:27:05Eat by yourself.
00:27:10Stella, not 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.
00:27:30The patent.
00:27:31If you're so desperate for a vacation,
00:27:34why 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?
00:27:51Yes.
00:27:52We should definitely talk.
00:27:59Fine.
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk.
00:28:03I'm curious what else you think you can get from me.
00:28:20All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:23Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley.
00:28:25This is business.
00:28:27The 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?
00:28:43This is why I brought it up.
00:28:45If your patent stays with us, it'll be the first project Haley takes on.
00:28:50She'll be pleased, her family will be impressed, and 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 is about using my patent to make Haley happy?
00:29:03I'm being honest.
00:29:05A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:07We're married, Stella.
00:29:10Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:13Normal?
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, not even you, have the right to force me.
00:29:30Enough.
00:29:31This conversation is over.
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow and sign the renewal.
00:29:37Don't act like a child.
00:30:15Hey, Allegra.
00:30:16Allegra, what's going on?
00:30:18Miss 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.
00:30:34I 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.
00:30:43Wait, 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.
00:30:54I'll find a way.
00:30:58That shameless bastard.
00:31:01Miss Russell, please don't make it worse for yourself because of me.
00:31:06I'll come.
00:31:09Don't worry, Allegra.
00:31:11This isn't your fault.
00:31:12He's targeting me, not you.
00:31:14I won't let you lose your job over this.
00:31:17Thank you so much, Miss Russell.
00:31:31Mrs. Walsh, what are you doing here?
00:31:33You 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.
00:31:40It'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.
00:31:51And now?
00:31:52You're back to sign it.
00:31:53If you were gonna 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.
00:32:06So this is your talent?
00:32:08Manipulating people who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:32:10Dude, impressive.
00:32:11Stella, all's fair in love and war.
00:32:13If it works, it works.
00:32:15Now sign the damn contract right now.
00:32:17No, I'm not signing anything.
00:32:19You?
00:32:20Mrs. Walsh, please.
00:32:21If something's bothering you, let's talk it through.
00:32:24You 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.
00:32:30It'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?
00:32:53I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:55Keep dreaming.
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh, wait.
00:33:00Allow me to walk you out.
00:33:01Please, if you don't mind me saying, could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:06Haley isn't fit for this role.
00:33:07He still has feelings for you.
00:33:09He'll listen to you.
00:33:17Choria's a big city, Allegra.
00:33:18There's no shortage of companies here that would value someone like you.
00:33:22I understand.
00:33:24Take care, Mrs. Walsh.
00:33:36Mark, you should have seen her.
00:33:38She 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.
00:33:44All right, don't get too worked up.
00:33:46I understand you're angry.
00:33:49Why don't I take you to your favorite place for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No, I want Stella to kneel and apologize to me.
00:33:56Make her mark, please.
00:34:04Haley, you really think you're that important?
00:34:11What 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.
00:34:30Don't be mad.
00:34:31I'll let it go, but you owe me.
00:34:35Fine.
00:34:36Whatever you ask, just leave Stella alone.
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight.
00:34:57I got an invite.
00:34:58I'm wiped out.
00:34:59I don't have energy.
00:35:00William's attending.
00:35:01Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:35:03I got an invite.
00:35:05All right, I'll come.
00:35:07Send me the details.
00:35:14Mark, you're incredible.
00:35:29Hi, Stella.
00:35:37Stella, what's with this outfit?
00:35:39Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:41We're here to drink, not sign contracts.
00:35:44Good thing I planned ahead.
00:35:45Change now.
00:35:54Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:56Perfect.
00:35:56You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:00You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:07Grady, meet Stella.
00:36:09Stella, this is Grady.
00:36:11Hello.
00:36:12Many try to get close to William.
00:36:14Take your time.
00:36:20Mr. 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.
00:36:45Just 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.
00:36:59Is 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.
00:37:13Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding.
00:37:26I just want to join the project.
00:37:41Explaining 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.
00:38:14But I dislike forward women.
00:38:16I take pride in my work.
00:38:18I'm not the woman you think.
00:38:23I won't bother you again.
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure.
00:38:33Looks like she decided to go.
00:38:34Mr. Briggs, I made her wear the dress.
00:38:36She 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, she's the author of the field-shaking paper on biologically active if factors.
00:39:07So she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:39:21You were gone all day.
00:39:22Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:24I 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!
00:39:39Open 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.
00:40:10I'd rather join a group with my peers.
00:40:12Miss 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.
00:40:34Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:41William just set off for the underground garage.
00:40:43It's still possible to catch up.
00:41:05Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs, these files need your immediate review.
00:41:10Get in.
00:41:11We'll go over them as we drive.
00:41:19Stella is my wife.
00:41:21Who 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.
00:41:33Mr. Briggs, you can just leave the documents here.
00:41:36I won't follow you.
00:41:37Could you drop me off here?
00:41:39No.
00:41:41No.
00:41:46That 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.
00:41:57What a joke.
00:41:58People change.
00:42:00I 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.
00:42:21Now I have a free week.
00:42:23What do you say we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark, I've already told you.
00:42:28I 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.
00:42:41Tell me, Mark.
00:42:42How are those condoms from Raskate working out for you?
00:42:46I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:42:49You...
00:42:50You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:53I've always known.
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:57Just let me explain!
00:43:00Stella!
00:43:01Open this door!
00:43:02We need to talk about this!
00:43:08Fine.
00:43:09I'll make you dinner.
00:43:10You always soften up when I cook for you.
00:43:19Wait a minute.
00:43:21Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:22It's always right here on the counter.
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:25What 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.
00:43:48Please, give me another chance.

00:43:56I'm not hungry.

00:56:59useless
00:57:00there's no place for a barren hen like you
00:57:02her family is nothing

00:57:15fine
00:57:16i'll divorce him
00:57:19what do you want out of this stella
00:57:20i'm not making any demands
00:57:23divorce is fine by me
00:57:30but jaselyn i expect you to pay back every cent i spent on your beauty appointments and imported supplements
00:57:37the health supplements you're taking every month why not ask mark who's really footing the bill
00:57:40and everyone at the casino knows exactly how many toes you've stepped on
00:57:46stella don't you dare get greedy with me why should i pay you back a cent
00:57:49those supplements my son paid for them
00:57:51as for the salon visits i cover those with my own membership
00:57:54stella honestly isn'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
00:58:02i'm just laying out the truth here
00:58:04that membership card you're so fond of
00:58:05my friend owns the salon i got you a 90 discount
00:58:09please mrs walsh don't worry
00:58:10from now on i'll make sure you have everything you need
00:58:12your standard of living drop i swear
00:58:13supplements salon treatments i have plenty of connections i'll handle it all
00:58:17these are just the tip of the iceberg
00:58:18fine if you claim all that's gone then so be it
00:58:21but i want you to divorce my son right now
00:58:24all right
00:58:25but a divorce requires both parties to show up
00:58:28if you can get mark here i won't stand in your way
00:58:32if you're so determined maybe spend your energy convincing him instead 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
00:58:52and by then leaving won't be her decision anymore
00:58:54jaselyn you're the best
00:58:56i swear i'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had
00:59:26mr briggs
00:59:29i 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
00:59:39and left right after
00:59:40it felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood
00:59:42honestly sir
00:59:43i 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
00:59:50inform me of our guest's arrival
00:59:56it looked like stella

01:11:17mark
01:11:17don't let her intimidate you
01:11:19my family is reasonable

01:11:27mr walsh
01:11:28our family usually wouldn't consider a divorced man
01:11:30but 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
01:11:36everyone knows the problems in 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
01:11:45and 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

01:11:57you were sleeping around while married
01:11:59openly shameless
01:12:00i 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
01:12:06the 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

01:12:14that's disgusting
01:12:15honestly
01:12:16someone from outside our circle
01:12:18wouldn't understand basic decency
01:12:19no wonder mark would rather be with the smith girl
01:12:22after what she pulled
01:12:23who could tolerate their wife being with other men
01:12:29you're accusing me of sleeping around hayley
