00:03Hello. I'm here to get a replacement's marriage certificate. I spilled coffee on this.
00:10Okay, please wait a moment.
00:16Ma'am, you're not in our system.
00:18What?
00:19You're not married.
00:20That's impossible. I got married right outside this building three years ago.
00:24Just a moment.
00:27I'm sorry.
00:28Mary, there's no record of your marriage in the system.
00:31One of the commissioners here was our witness.
00:33Let me check again for you.
00:37The man listed here as your husband, Mr. Aaron Parker, is married to a woman named Chloe Morgan.
00:44Chloe Morgan? He was already married to her?
00:48That means the ceremony with me was a sham?
00:54If studying abroad is your dream, of course I'll support you.
00:58Two years. That's the longest I can stand being apart from you.
01:02When you come back, we get married. Deal?
01:16Aaron?
01:20I swear, nothing happened.
01:23I'll send her away.
01:31Chloe will be fine. It's just a few scratches. So stop worrying. Stay here with Natalie.
01:35How many times have I told you? No smoking in my house. Natalie hates the smell.
01:39Okay, okay. God, the perfect husband, huh?
01:42But seriously, why did you let Chloe move in then?
01:45Just got used to having Chloe around. Natalie's the only one I love.
01:48Then why is Chloe the one you actually married?
01:51It's just a title. Something to keep her quiet.
01:53Chloe stays in the shadows. Natalie gets my love. Out in the open.
01:57If Natalie ever finds out, she'll never take you back.
01:59She'll never find out.
02:00You should have listened to your friend, Aaron. I'm done being your clown.
02:05For three years, I thought I was his wife. I won't be a fool anymore.
02:09I am changing my name. Erase the pathetic woman I was Natalie Cooper.
02:13Request to amend your records and legally change your name will be processed within two weeks.
02:17Aaron, in two weeks, you'll never find me again.
02:29Natalie, I've been looking for you. Where have you been?
02:35I went shopping. Forgot to tell you. Sorry.
02:39Don't apologize. I'm not mad at you. I was just worried.
02:45You had a craving for surf and turf yesterday, didn't you?
02:48I made it for you. Try it.
02:50You're a CEO, a billionaire. So important, so powerful.
02:54And you still learn to cook for me.
02:56Do I really deserve this?
02:57Of course you do.
02:59You are everything to me, Natalie.
03:00I've been taking care of you for the past ten years.
03:04And I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
03:06Am I the only one you love and care for?
03:10Natalie, you're my one and only.
03:13My only wife. My only love.
03:17Shit.
03:19Something came up at work.
03:20I have to go.
03:33Mr. Parker, we're so sorry.
03:35Ms. Morgan slipped in the bathroom.
03:36We'll add more staff to her care.
03:38This won't happen again.
03:40Yes.
03:40You make sure it doesn't, else I'll shut this hospital down for good.
03:44Of course, Mr. Parker. We'll be extra careful.
03:48A few scratches, and you're ready to tear the whole hospital apart.
03:51And you still say you don't love her?
03:54How are you feeling?
03:55It's all my fault.
03:56First the car accident.
03:58Now the fall.
03:59I'm taking up all your time.
04:01Time you should be spending with Natalie.
04:03What if she gets the wrong idea?
04:04I'm such a burden.
04:06Hey, stop that.
04:08Don't worry about her.
04:09Just focus on getting better.
04:11I've worn this for seven years.
04:12It's my lucky charm.
04:14It's yours now.
04:15It'll keep you safe.
04:16Happy birthday, my love.
04:18Natalie, are you serious?
04:19How did you even afford this?
04:21You didn't have to do this for me.
04:23I wanted to.
04:24Wear it.
04:25It'll bring you luck in everything you do.
04:28Natalie, I'll wear it forever.
04:34Aaron, you're so good to me.
04:38That was the first gift I ever gave him.
04:40I saved for a whole year working as an 18-year-old waitress just to buy it for him.
04:46And now it sits on another woman's wrist.
04:52Babe, I can't come home.
04:53Things got complicated.
04:54I have to fly to Chicago for a few days.
04:56Don't be mad.
04:57I'll make it up to you.
04:58A business trip to Chicago.
05:00Or is it a few days with your actual wife?
05:02Either way, I'll be gone in a few days too.
05:05None of it matters anymore.
05:09Honey, I'm home.
05:11Look, I got your favorite flowers and the perfume you love.
05:16Running a company isn't easy.
05:18I know I haven't been around much, but I'm here now.
05:21I understand.
05:22Work comes first.
05:23No, you come first, Natalie.
05:25Go get changed.
05:26I've got a surprise for you.
05:28Come on, let me see that beautiful smile.
05:30Smile.

05:36And where's the idol of Warsaw went all out this time?
05:37He flew the orchestra in just for her.
05:40She's so lucky.
05:41I'd kill for a husband like him.
05:43Smile.

33:36parker group just teamed up with three p.e. firms
33:39they've launched a hostile bid on our public shares
33:42when did it start
33:43half an hour ago
33:44they've already picked up 12 percent and they're still buying
33:46nnc capital's tactics destabilized the market
33:49it was hostile and irresponsible
33:51we're stepping in to restore order
33:53and reclaim what belongs to parker group
33:55we need to call the board
33:56lock up liquidity
33:57trace their funding
33:58now
34:00harry was
34:01probably never truly on our side
34:03what do you mean
34:04i don't believe he's doing this for parker group
34:06he's only loyal to his own gains

34:34because you built the old parker network
34:37you know where the leverage is buried
34:41in my safe
34:42there's a ledger with all the data that i can use as leverage
34:45it's enough to bring them down
34:54your severance packages have been wired
34:57effective immediately the parker group is dissolving its current executive structure
35:01you are all released from your positions
35:03miss cooper
35:04we've served the parker family for over 30 years
35:07that's why you're getting double severance and full non-compete waivers
35:10you leave with your reputation intact
35:12mr. west
