Short filmTranscript
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?
01:19I swear nothing happened. I'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.
02:13A request 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.
02:42I'm not mad at you.
02:43I 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.
03:37We'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.
03:52And you still say you don't love her?
03:54How are you feeling?
03:55It's all my fault.
03:56First the car accident, now 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
04:44just to buy it for him.
04:45And 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.
04:59Or 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.
05:35Mr. Parker really went all out this time.
05:38He flew the orchestra in just for her.
05:40She's so lucky.
05:41I'd kill for a husband like him.
05:58Hey, what's wrong?
05:59Are you okay?
06:01Do you want to leave?
06:06Do you want to leave?
06:07Okay, hang on.
06:09I'll have Mike bring some painkillers over.
06:14Yeah, right now.
06:15It'll be here soon.
06:17Just lean on me.
06:18Try to relax.
06:34You're supposed to be resting.
06:36What are you doing here?
06:37I told Mike to bring it.
06:38Mike's stuck in a meeting.
06:40I heard Mrs. Cooper's not feeling well,
06:42so I rushed here.
06:45It was pouring outside.
06:47I forgot my umbrella.
06:49But don't worry.
06:50I didn't let the pills get wet.
06:54Thanks.
06:55Here, take this.
06:58Didn't she move back to Northvale?
07:00Her parents aren't well.
07:01She desperately needed the job back, honey.
07:04And what happened years ago,
07:05it wasn't really her fault.
07:08Of course I believe you.
07:10If you'll excuse me,
07:11I need to use the restroom.
07:20Hey, it's pouring outside.
07:22Chloe's a big orchestra person, too.
07:24You don't mind if she stays, right?
07:27You're so sweet, baby.
07:36Natalie, I'm freezing.
07:38Come on.
07:39Warm me up.
07:42You held my hand today.
07:44From now on, don't you ever let go.
07:55You like these instruments, right?
07:57I bought them for you.
07:59Miss Cooper, Mr. Parker went to extraordinary lengths for these.
08:02Some were acquired at private auctions,
08:04others were on loan from museums.
08:06What's this?
08:08No!
08:13Natalie!
08:23Natalie, hey, how are you feeling?
08:26I'm so sorry.
08:27Everything happened so fast.
08:29I thought I was saving you,
08:30but I was mistaken.
08:31Chloe, she...
08:33She didn't mean for it to happen,
08:34but it was her fault.
08:36I'm hungry.
08:37Natalie.
08:38I'm hungry.
08:39Okay.
08:40I'll go get you something.
08:41I'll be right back.
08:46Love makes you frantic.
08:48Hate makes you loud.
08:49But I feel neither.
08:56Welcome home, ma'am.
08:59You did all this?
09:00Yes.
09:01Consider this a token of my love.
09:03I know you had a bad few days at the hospital.
09:05Still mad?
09:06Natalie, I swear to you,
09:07I thought she was you.
09:08I was trying to save you.
09:10Tell me what to do so you'll forgive me.
09:12Please.
09:13Fine.
09:14Fire, Chloe.
09:17Fire, Chloe.
09:18Her family doesn't have much,
09:19and her parents are sick.
09:21Wouldn't that be cruel?
09:22You just said you'd do anything.
09:27It's Chloe.
09:28Mr. Parker!
09:29Aaron!
09:30Help me, please!
09:31Some men are here.
09:32They're harassing me.
09:33Come here, pretty lady.
09:34Can't believe someone's paying us
09:36to do some nasty things.
09:37Where are you?
09:38Chloe?
09:39Hey!
09:40Natalie, where is she?
09:42One call from her,
09:43and you're falling apart.
09:45What exactly is she to you?
09:46This isn't about that.
09:48This could be a matter of life and death.
09:50You're choosing now to be jealous?
09:52Jealous?
09:53You're the one losing your mind
09:54over some assistant
09:55you claim you don't care about.
09:57I told you I punished her already.
09:59What more do you want?
10:00Hiring people to scare her like that?
10:01That's just vile.
10:03I'm asking you one last time.
10:04Where is Chloe?
10:07I'll say this one last time.
10:09I don't know where she is.
10:10I don't even recognize you right now.
10:12Maybe I never really knew you at all.
10:16Pull the security footage.
10:17Find Chloe's last known location.
10:20Now.
10:21You're bleeding.
10:23Should we call an ambulance?
10:26No need.
10:28I will be fine.
10:32What about all this?
10:34Throw it out.
10:35All of it.
10:37Go through the house.
10:38Anything that belongs to me,
10:40throw it in the garbage.
10:41And don't say a word to Aaron.
10:43Yes, madam.
10:45So that's it, Aaron.
10:47You're done pretending.
10:48It's about time.
10:53You don't value what we had anymore.
10:55Why should I?
10:57Let them rot in the trash.
11:06Aaron, maybe let it go.
11:10You came on time.
11:12I wasn't hurt.
11:13No, I won't lay a hand on Natalie.
11:14But the people she sent after you,
11:16that's different.
11:16I'll make an example out of him.
11:18If you have to,
11:19then go easy.
11:20He's just hired to do a job.
11:22Easy?
11:23Not a chance.
11:24He thought he could touch you.
11:26I'll make sure he never tries again.
11:28I won't kill him, but...
11:31And I'll make sure he wishes I had.
11:39Throw him out of here.
11:41Let's go.
11:43Aaron.
11:47Natalie?
11:50Aaron.
11:51I don't feel good.
11:53Stay with me.
11:55I'm taking you to the hospital.
11:57Come on.
11:57Come on.
12:04Babe, I was out of line earlier.
12:06I shouldn't have snapped at you.
12:08I'm at the hospital with Chloe.
12:10But I'll come home as soon as she's stable.
12:13What kind of a monster have you become, Aaron?
12:17Miss Cooper, your legal name change has been approved,
12:20effective immediately.
12:23I can be free now.
12:25It's over.
12:29I brought you something.
12:31There is a tiny camera in this necklace.
12:33You are never getting out of my sight again.
12:35Wow.
12:36You care about me that much.
12:38You care about me that much.
12:40Aaron,
12:41when you check that camera,
12:43you'll see it all.
12:43It was you.
12:44It was always you.
12:46From now on,
12:47Natalie Cooper doesn't exist.
12:58Hey, you okay?
12:59Yeah, just a cold.
13:01I used to be a doctor.
13:03That doesn't sound like a cold.
13:05It's nothing.
13:06I, uh,
13:07I took a fall.
13:08Those aren't from a fall.
13:09They're from blunt force.
13:11Something's wrong internally.
13:13Are you being abused?
13:14Did someone hurt you?
13:15I don't know.
13:22Help!
13:23We need medical assistance now!
13:28Hey, stay with me.
13:30Keep your eyes open.
13:31I'll take you to the hospital.
13:33No hospital.
13:34Please.
13:34Okay.
13:35I have a private clinic 20 minutes from here.
13:37Can I take you there?
13:38Stay with me.
13:39Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:40Hey.
13:41Hey.
13:41Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:42Hey.
13:44Hey.
13:44Hey.
13:45Hey.
13:47Easy.
13:48Don't sit up yet.
13:49You had two fractured ribs.
13:51One punctured your lung.
13:53You were developing a hemothorax at the airport there.
13:55I placed a chest tube and stopped bleeding.
13:59You feeling better now?
14:02Thank you, doctor.
14:04Lucas Bennett.
14:05I was a trauma surgeon.
14:06Now I just run medical clinics and hospitals.
14:09Still remember how to keep someone alive.
14:12May I ask your name?
14:13Laura.
14:14Laura Anderson.
14:17Dr. Bennett, time to change her dressings.
14:46They won't budge on price, but the comms don't support their valuation.
14:50We're looking at at least a 30% premium over fair market.
14:55It's not just the valuation. The cash flow assumptions are aggressive.
14:59They've restructured short-term liabilities to make the balance sesh look cleaner.
15:02But the debt's still there.
15:04Keep going.
15:06Take a look. The premium shouldn't be 30%. It should be closer to 12.
15:19You look stronger.
15:21All thanks to you.
15:22The merger's closed. Your assessment was key in the negotiation.
15:26If you're interested, I could use someone like you as my strategic advisor.
15:30You're not worried. I might be planted by a competitor.
15:33I'm not a fool. I ran a background check on you. Nothing came back.
15:37It's strange, but my gut tells me I can trust you.
15:44Aaron, you are all that's on my mind.
15:47I'll destroy you piece by piece, and you won't see me coming.
15:54Loli, it's still hot. I had it simmered for four hours. It'll help with the inflammation.
16:01Aaron, you've been here every day. Won't Natalie get mad?
16:05She won't. She understands. I haven't heard from Natalie for days. I need to make a call.
16:15Aaron, there's only room for one woman by your side, and that's me.
16:22The number you have reached is not in service. Please check the number and dial again.
16:28What?
16:29Natalie, really? You never do this. Where are you?
16:35Mike, any updates?
16:37Mr. Parker, someone's wiped the security footage clean.
16:41What?
16:42I asked around, but no one's seen Natalie since the day you left the hospital for Miss Morgan.
16:54Passport, bank card. All the important things are gone.
16:59Natalie, where did you go?
17:01Mike, check airports, banks, traffic cameras. Whatever it takes, find her.
17:10Mr. Parker, Ms. Cooper's ID profile, it's gone.
17:15Driver's license, tax records, social, all of it.
17:18It's like she doesn't exist.
17:24The gift I gave her for her 18th birthday.
17:27She never took it off all these years.
17:36What?
17:37What have I done?
17:39Chloe, you made me.
17:40You bitch, you'll pay for this.
17:48Relax, he won't find anything.
17:50I wiped her medical records.
17:52And the surveillance footage, gone.
17:55Not a trace left.
17:56That bitch had it coming for trying to steal my husband.
18:01Aaron, why are you...
18:02You knew it was her in that sack, didn't you?
18:05I don't know what you're talking about.
18:06Answer me!
18:07I didn't know.
18:09Yes, I was scared she'd take you from me.
18:11But I didn't do it.
18:12I swear.
18:13I love you so much.
18:15How could I ever hurt someone you love?
18:17You want proof?
18:18Fine.
18:19I'll give it to you.
18:21You're too late, Aaron.
18:23Aaron, there's nothing left to find.
18:27Mr. Parker, please.
18:29You can check the bank records.
18:30It was Miss Morgan hired us.
18:32She told us it was just a prank.
18:34We only pretended to harass her.
18:36Get out!
18:36Now!
18:37Now!
18:39Chloe, you have been taking money out from my company behind my back.
18:43You hurt my wife.
18:44How are you planning to justify this?
18:48Miss Morgan is here.
18:50Aaron, what's going on?
18:51You sounded urgent.
18:55Explain!
18:56This is fake.
18:59Someone set me up.
19:00It has to be Natalie.
19:02Yeah, she hates me.
19:03She's trying to frame me.
19:05That bitch had it coming for trying to steal my husband.
19:12Aaron, I can explain.
19:14It's Natalie.
19:15The recording, it's a fake too.
19:18She did all this so you'd hate me.
19:20I recorded it myself.
19:22Aaron, I love you, Aaron.
19:26Love?
19:27You think that word will save you?
19:29What the hell, Aaron?
19:30You came to me first.
19:31You used me.
19:32You let me believe I mattered.
19:34And don't say you love her.
19:35You don't know what love is.
19:36You married me and kept her on the side.
19:38And now you're pretending to be loyal.
19:40Pathetic.
19:41Natalie will never come back to you.
19:43Never.
19:43Fine.
19:44I misjudged you.
19:46It's time to make things right.
19:50You can't do this to me.
19:52I'm your legal wife.
19:54I can return every cent I stole from you.
19:57For you, it's always about money.
20:00For me, I just want you to suffer.
20:03Where are you taking me?
20:05Get off me.
20:06Aaron, you can't do this.
20:08Do this.
20:24Babe, look.
20:26I got a new dress.
20:27Do you like it?
20:28It's beautiful.
20:31It's beautiful.
20:36Natalie.
20:37Natalie.
20:42Natalie.
20:42His company's on the guest list tonight, too.
20:44He could be here.
20:45Did you come for him?
20:47Of course not.
20:51No.
20:51Move the presentation to Q3.
20:55Is that Natalie?
20:57No way.
20:58Excuse me.
21:00The lady who just walked in, who is she?
21:02You mean Ms. Laura Anderson?
21:04She's the founder of NNC Capital.
21:06N.C.
21:07Her initials?
21:08Natalie Cooper?
21:09Natalie.
21:10It's you.
21:12It has to be.
21:14It has to be.
21:21It has to be.
21:25Laura.
21:26Hey.
21:27It's me.
21:28You're safe.
21:29Look at me.
21:30Okay.
21:30Panic spike.
21:31Acute PTSD episode.
21:33Follow my voice.
21:35Breathe in.
21:35Four seconds.
21:36Hold.
21:37Now exhale.
21:40I'm okay now. Thank you. Sorry. Just had a nightmare.
21:45Let me get you some water.
21:48Here, drink this.
21:51Want to talk about it?
21:59Sometimes I can feel the cold metal rod on my skin.
22:04Do you know how it feels when you scream helplessly and
22:10no one around you can hear it?
22:14Eventually, a screaming stopped when I realized help wasn't coming.
22:19When the man hurting me was the same one who promised to keep me safe.
22:27The drawer over there.
22:30Can you grab what's inside for me?
22:35My medical records.
22:42And a coffee-stained fake marriage certificate.
22:46Three fractured ribs, one punctured lung,
22:49commutative fracture of the right big toes.
22:51And patient name, Natalie Cooper.
22:54Yeah, wife to Aaron Parker.
22:56Except we were never legally married.
22:59He thought he was beating a thug who went after his actual wife, Chloe Morgan.
23:04The person inside the sack was me.
23:08Natalie Cooper.
23:12That's why you've been so obsessed with the Parker Group,
23:15asking about it all the time.
23:17This isn't a business strategy.
23:18It's personal.
23:20You want revenge?
23:21I want him to know what it's like to lose everything.
23:24His company, his money, his name.
23:27Revenge can feel powerful at first.
23:31But it won't bring you peace.
23:33Not really.
23:34Then what will?
23:36Forgiveness?
23:44I'm not trying to stop you.
23:46I just don't want this hatred for him to eat you alive.
23:50Those scars don't define you.
23:52But if going after him is what you need to close this chapter,
23:56then I'll do it with you.
23:57Show me the plan.
23:59Let me help you destroy the Parker Group.
24:03Lucas, you needn't get involved.
24:06I can take care of him myself.
24:08I am sure you could.
24:09But I am not giving you a choice.
24:12Alright.
24:13Start with your equity structure.
24:15Major shareholders.
24:16Offshore holdings.
24:17Then I'll walk you through the strategy.
24:19I'll get right on it.
24:20But tonight,
24:23you sleep.
24:27Wait.
24:31Throw this away.
24:33For me.
24:39Okay, Laura.
24:44Miss Cooper,
24:46Parker Group dropped another 5% this morning.
24:48The market's reacting to Aaron Parker's liquidity issues.
24:57Good.
24:58Now he's liquidating personal assets,
25:00trying to plug the hold from Chloe's embezzlement.
25:03Continue offloading our Parker Group bonds.
25:05If they collapse,
25:07we'll take a hit too.
25:08I know.
25:09I don't care.
25:10I don't care.
25:32Find out who's behind this.
25:33We trace where the pressure came from.
25:35It's coming through a Swiss company.
25:38Newly formed.
25:38Heavy capital.
25:40No visible control.
25:41Name?
25:42NC Capital.
25:45Natalie.
25:46Keep digging.
25:47I want ownership trails,
25:49shell layers,
25:50everything.
25:51If it's really her,
25:52I'll know.
25:53Yes, sir.
25:59Miss Cooper,
26:00this is Harry West,
26:01former CFO of Parker Group.
26:03All right.
26:04Got it.
26:07Miss Cooper,
26:08about the terms you promised.
26:14Here's your deposit.
26:16You'll get the rest after the job's done.
26:18Aaron's scrambling to stabilize the Kiziti.
26:21He's planning to leverage core patents
26:23to calm the market.
26:24With my guidance,
26:25he'll think he's contained the bleeding.
26:27No.
26:29You'll actually help him.
26:30What?
26:31You'll help him breathe for a bit.
26:33So he thinks he survived this.
26:35Then you strike him down.
26:39Understood.
26:47The stock's stabilized.
26:48I can see that.
26:51But how?
26:52It was Mr. West.
26:53He brought in emergency capital,
26:55several institutional placements,
26:56funds cleared within an hour.
26:58Harry?
26:58We're all surprised how he pulled it off,
27:00but we're grateful.
27:01At least for now,
27:02the liquidities restored were safe.
27:04No.
27:05Look into it.
27:06That was too fast.
27:07I want every firm Harry contacted.
27:09Now.
27:10Yes, sir.
27:17Aaron is suspicious.
27:19Just as expected.
27:21Should we act now?
27:23Not yet.
27:24Let him breathe.
27:26When he realizes I want him to come to me begging.
27:30The way I once begged him to come back.
27:33Mr. Parker, you were right.
27:34The capital's gone.
27:35The same firms withdrew immediately after stabilization.
27:38Massive saw has triggered.
27:40We're at a historic low.
27:42Where is Harry?
27:44He's disappeared.
27:46And the firms?
27:47Did you identify who owns those firms?
27:52We traced the ownership.
27:54The shell companies all rolled up to one parent entity.
27:57NNC Capital.
27:59Natalie Cooper.
28:01Cooper.
28:02Leave me.
28:04Did you come back for revenge?
28:06Revenge.
28:12Hmm.
28:13Mr. Parker,
28:14I believe you know you're trespassing.
28:17Should I have security escort you out?
28:18Natalie.
28:20I know it's you.
28:21It's Laura now.
28:24I know what Chloe did.
28:26She staged the whole thing.
28:27The attack.
28:28The hospital.
28:29All of it.
28:30She made me believe.
28:31I didn't know it was you in that sack.
28:33If I had known, I would have never...
28:34Never what?
28:37Never beaten me with a rod?
28:39Never shattered my ribs?
28:40Never punctured my lungs?
28:42Never crushed my toes?
28:43Or is that just the part you remember?
28:47I'm sorry.
28:47I didn't know, Natalie.
28:49I was wrong.
28:49So, so wrong.
28:51Tell me what to do.
28:52Anything.
28:53I'll do it.
28:53If you could forgive me.
28:57You want...
28:59Parker Group?
29:04What I want is for you to hand me your company.
29:08You'll sit back and watch while I dismantle it.
29:11Division by division.
29:13Asset by asset.
29:16If you sign it over, your company's legacy ends with me.
29:19If you don't, you lose any chance of Natalie again.
29:25Right now, you're in no position to negotiate.
29:36Sell the new energy division.
29:38Transfer healthcare to Bennett Group.
29:41Keep the other shells intact for restructuring.
29:45And the Parker brand.
29:47There's no more Parker Group.
29:52I'll let you keep your CEO title.
29:54Ceremonial only.
29:55No voting authority.
29:57No independent sign-off.
29:58You report to me daily.
30:03Mr. Parker, you got a problem with that?
30:10Mr. Parker, you got a problem with that?
30:19Mr. Parker, today's compliance report.
30:24Exterior signage cleaned five times.
30:26Plants watered.
30:27No visitors logged.
30:32Here, per Ms. Cooper's instruction,
30:34are required to sign off to verify active management
30:37of the holding entity.
30:39If this will get you to forgive me,
30:41I'll keep doing it.
30:47So,
30:49how does revenge taste?
30:52Hollow.
30:54That's Altair,
30:55part of the Aquila constellation.
30:58And over there,
31:00Vega.
31:01Some tales say they meet once a year.
31:04Once a year?
31:07That sounds cruel.
31:12But at least they meet every year.
31:14Don't they?
31:16Natalie.
31:22Mr. Parker,
31:23are you stalking me?
31:24Who is he?
31:25Lucas Bennett.
31:26My partner.
31:27Partner?
31:29Boyfriend?
31:30Or future husband?
31:31Call it whatever you want.
31:32It has nothing to do with you.
31:33We're still married, mind you.
31:35Married?
31:36Our certificate was fake.
31:38Last time I checked,
31:39your real wife is in prison.
31:41You knew?
31:42Of course I know.
31:43I know all of your pathetic, sick games.
31:46Mr. Parker,
31:47I'm warning you.
31:48If you harass my girlfriend again,
31:50I'll file for a restraining order.
31:56Was that too much?
31:57Compared to what he did?
31:59No.
32:01Look, that's Vega.
32:02Turns out the stars can be warmer
32:04than the sun.
32:10Natalie,
32:11give me one more chance.
32:13Please?
32:14Leave before I call the police.
32:16Natalie,
32:16we were together for ten years.
32:18That's not nothing.
32:19Come out.
32:29Aaron,
32:31do you think I am going to fall
32:32for this pathetic act?
32:34Please,
32:35just forgive me.
32:36We loved each other once.
32:37Why are you so sure
32:38we can't love again?
32:39Love again.
32:43I won't leave
32:44until you forgive me.
32:45I won't.
32:48Natalie,
32:48Aaron's still outside.
32:50I checked.
32:50He's been drinking heavily
32:51for weeks,
32:52barely eating.
32:53He could collapse.
32:55If he stays out there,
32:56it could be serious.
33:01So?
33:01Are you really going this far?
33:03You took his company,
33:04stripped his authority,
33:05you made him report to you
33:07like a housekeeper.
33:08Now you want to watch him.
33:10What?
33:11Suffer physically?
33:13Well,
33:13he deserves it.
33:14Is that truly what you think?
33:16Natalie,
33:17tell me honestly,
33:18have you truly let him go?
33:20I have.
33:21Then can't you see
33:22this is too much?
33:23You know what he did to me.
33:25I do.
33:25But right now,
33:26you're becoming him.
33:30If you hold on to hate too long,
33:32it doesn't just burn the people you hate,
33:33it burns you.
33:35Miss Cooper,
33:36Parker Group just teamed up
33:38with three PE firms.
33:39They've launched a hostile bid
33:41on our public shares.
33:42When did it start?
33:43Half an hour ago.
33:44They've already picked up 12%
33:45and they're still buying.
33:46NNC Capital's tactics
33:47destabilized the market.
33:49It was hostile
33:50and irresponsible.
33:51We're stepping in
33:52to restore order
33:53and reclaim what belongs
33:54to Parker Group.
33:55We need to call the board,
33:56lock up liquidity,
33:58trace their funding,
33:59now.
34:00Harry was
34:01probably never truly
34:03on our side.
34:04What do you mean?
34:04I don't believe
34:05he's doing this
34:06for Parker Group.
34:06He's only loyal
34:07to his own gains.
34:08What's your plan?
34:09I don't need to do anything.
34:11Send Aaron up.
34:12Let him clean up
34:13his own mess.
34:17Fine.
34:18I'll go get him.
34:21Aaron,
34:22you've been a CEO for years.
34:24This should be easy for you.
34:28Lucas told you wanted me
34:29to deal with Harry?
34:30Yes.
34:31I want you to fix this.
34:33Why me?
34:34Because you built
34:35the old Parker Network.
34:37You know where
34:38the leverage is buried.
34:41In my safe,
34:42there's a ledger
34:43with all the data
34:44that I can use as leverage.
34:45It's enough
34:46to bring them down.
34:54Your severance packages
34:55have been wired.
34:57Effective immediately,
34:58the Parker Group
34:58is dissolving
34:59its current executive structure.
35:01You are all released
35:02from your positions.
35:03Ms. Cooper,
35:04we've served the Parker family
35:06for over 30 years.
35:07That's why you're getting
35:08double severance
35:09and full non-compete waivers.
35:11You leave with
35:11your reputation intact.
35:12Mr. West,
35:13I hope you'll accept
35:14the generous package
35:15because the alternative
35:16is an orange jumpsuit
35:17just like Chloe Morgan.
35:24I...
35:31Mr. Parker,
35:32you did great.
35:37Do you know
35:38what I thought
35:38in that sack?
35:40I kept waiting
35:41for you to hear my voice.
35:43I'm sorry.
35:44But you didn't.
35:46So my answer is no.
35:48You don't need
35:48to report to me anymore.
35:50No daily signatures.
35:52No more humiliations.
35:53You and I are done.
35:55Let's stop being
35:56in each other's lives
35:57ever again.
36:03There's something
36:04I've been meaning to do.
36:05I kept waiting
36:06for the perfect moment.
36:08Turns out,
36:10I can't wait any longer.
36:11Is it a ring?
36:13How did you know?
36:14When you thought
36:15I was asleep,
36:15you measured my finger.
36:17I can't hide anything
36:18from you.
36:19And I don't want to.
36:22I can't hide anything.
36:23I can't hide anything.
36:23Laura,
36:24Anderson,
36:25whatever you want
36:26to call yourself
36:26is fine with me.
36:27But know this.
36:29I don't want to save you.
36:31I don't want to fix you.
36:32Because you're perfect
36:33the way you are.
36:34I just want to stand
36:35next to you.
36:36On the good days,
36:37on the hard ones.
36:39As your equal.
36:40Will you marry me?
36:41Yes.
36:43Yes.
36:43Yes.
36:44Yes.
36:44Yes.
36:45Yes.
36:45Yes.
36:46Yes.
36:48Yes.
36:49Yes.
36:49Yes.
36:49Yes.
36:51Yes.
36:52Yes.
36:53Yes.
36:55Yes.
36:56Yes.
36:57Yes.
36:58Yes.
36:58Yes.
36:59Yes.
36:59Yes.
37:00Yes.
37:00Yes.
37:00You
