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