00:00:27Tino
00:00:32Peter's doing this on purpose.
00:00:33Your gender equality proposal has been revised seven times and is still candid.
00:00:37He's the director. What choice do I have?
00:00:39Director or not, you've gone months without full pay.
00:00:41Doing charity work or care homes? When does it end?
00:00:44Just help Judy. If we keep moping around, I'll miss the meeting.
00:00:46Tina, have you ever thought of chasing the market instead?
00:00:48If you did, your pay and prospects would look a lot better.
00:00:51If I believe in the idea, prospects and salary don't factor.
00:00:54You need to say that. It still feels unfair.
00:01:08One time no see.
00:01:10Has it been years since you broke up with me?
00:01:13Ex-boyfriend?
00:01:14No, I don't know him.
00:01:17You don't?
00:01:19Edward Davis.
00:01:21Her one and only ex.
00:01:24Former brother-in-law?
00:01:26Did you stop messing around?
00:01:29After all these years and you're still clumsy.
00:01:35I was working.
00:01:37Unlike you, who's never touched a dirty dish.
00:01:39She's usually picture perfect. Today was a rush.
00:01:42Picture perfect?
00:01:43More like...
00:01:44Overtime chic.
00:01:47We're in a rush.
00:01:49We should go.
00:01:50Well, I'm going to use the elevator if you guys want to use it.
00:01:52No, the stairs will be just fine.
00:01:55Thanks.
00:02:04You're unchanged at all.
00:02:2017th.
00:02:21Two whole floors on foot just to dodge an ex.
00:02:24Ex?
00:02:26Just an old classmate.
00:02:28Two floors.
00:02:29Treated as morning cardio.
00:02:30Worst excuse ever.
00:02:32He said he was your only ex.
00:02:34Only!
00:02:35Spill.
00:02:36Who is Edward Davis and why did you break up?
00:02:38Judy, priorities.
00:02:39We still don't know if her proposal is going to pass.
00:02:41Focus on that.
00:02:42Okay, well, I heard today's client is the boss of bosses.
00:02:45Ten million for one deal.
00:02:47Ten million!
00:02:48That would keep all of them afloat for three years.
00:02:50Even the more reason to nail it?
00:02:52Tina, Judy.
00:02:53Do you want your jobs or not?
00:02:54The client is here.
00:02:56You almost blew the meeting schedule.
00:03:21Watch your tongue.
00:03:23That's our client, the owner of Lightspeed.
00:03:29Peter, why let just anyone in?
00:03:31Just anyone?
00:03:32I'm Almond's event planner.
00:03:34Same as you.
00:03:35You're not worthy of the title.
00:03:38Apologies, Mr. Davis.
00:03:40She's a junior member.
00:03:42She can't even dress herself properly.
00:03:44She has no respect.
00:03:45Your personal visit is our greatest honor.
00:03:49It's fine.
00:03:51And your name?
00:03:53I'm Isabella.
00:03:55I'm Almond's chief planner.
00:03:56My proposal...
00:03:58I'll remember your name.
00:04:02Lightspeed wants a creative, thoughtful campaign to launch our new lifestyle brand.
00:04:08We're not just selling clothes.
00:04:10We're selling an idea.
00:04:13Female empowerment.
00:04:16Our street-style check-in campaign taps into youth culture.
00:04:20We partner with shopping malls, host splash mob battles, and bring influencers to Ignite Buzz.
00:04:31Tina, your thoughts?
00:04:35Me?
00:04:44I'm not impressed.
00:04:47Why not?
00:04:48Your new line targets professional women.
00:04:51Challenging the notion that office wear must be uniform and dull.
00:04:54Your campaign should focus on how women express themselves.
00:04:57Breaking molds at work.
00:04:59Mirroring the product ethos.
00:05:07Tina, you'll leave this.
00:05:10What do you mean?
00:05:11Hand the campaign to Tina?
00:05:13Giving the campaign to Tina.
00:05:15Mr. Davis, are you joking?
00:05:17She's a junior planner.
00:05:20You'd be squandering millions of dollars.
00:05:22Isabella?
00:05:23Is it?
00:05:24Mind your tone with Tina.
00:05:26Or the deal is off.
00:05:28What kind of drama is this?
00:05:31Mr. Davis, Tina is a bottom-of-the-chart performer.
00:05:36She's hardly qualified.
00:05:38Isabella's campaign is market-tested and ready to roll out now.
00:05:42Exactly.
00:05:43My proposal could launch immediately.
00:05:46Tina is leading this campaign.
00:05:48I won't tell you again.
00:05:56If Almond can't accept my decision, then Lightspeed will pull funding.
00:06:01Withdraw funding?
00:06:03That's a nine-figure deal.
00:06:06You have three days to complete this.
00:06:09Can you do it?
00:06:12You should say thank you to Mr. Davis.
00:06:15This is an enormous opportunity.
00:06:16Three days?
00:06:18Impossible.
00:06:19Please.
00:06:20Her and her sidekick couldn't do it if they had 300 days.
00:06:25Fine.
00:06:26I'll take it.
00:06:28Great.
00:06:29On one condition.
00:06:30Complete autonomy.
00:06:32No interference from anyone else.
00:06:35If you cannot promise this, the project goes to Isabella.
00:06:42Problem?
00:06:44No.
00:06:45No problem.
00:06:47Good.
00:06:48Then I expect the final plan in three days.
00:07:04Hey.
00:07:05Don't think Edward's backing is going to save you if you blow this.
00:07:08You know the consequences.
00:07:13Tina, a multi-million dollar account.
00:07:15You can finally shine.
00:07:15Back to the office now.
00:07:17Now?
00:07:20Call her to every care home and community center we've worked with.
00:07:23And gather the latest leader on workplace gender equity.
00:07:26Great.
00:07:26Another three nights sleepover at work.
00:07:30Well, well, well.
00:07:31Archie's planning a playing researcher.
00:07:34Three days to turn stone into gold.
00:07:36When the funding crashes, you'll be Allman's pariah.
00:07:39You.
00:07:40Can we help you?
00:07:42I'm just here to watch you crash and burn.
00:07:44Then we'll get to work.
00:07:46Judy?
00:07:46Let's catch your first concepts.
00:07:54What is wrong with you?
00:07:58If you linger here and slow down our project, you'll be the first to blame.
00:08:04Blame?
00:08:05You're going to fail.
00:08:07I'll just do my best.
00:08:09As for the outcome, time will tell.
00:08:13Well, aren't you a shameless bragger?
00:08:17Good riddance.
00:08:20Talk is cheap.
00:08:21Time is everything.
00:08:24Another sleepless night?
00:08:26Is that obvious?
00:08:28How did you guess?
00:08:29Your face says it all.
00:08:32It's that project about him, right?
00:08:35Yes, and no.
00:08:37It's odd.
00:08:38He forced this campaign on me.
00:08:40Gave me only three days.
00:08:42Almost like he wants me to fail or make a fool of myself.
00:08:47Well, since you accepted, stop overthinking.
00:08:52It's just work.
00:08:53Work you believe in.
00:08:55I know, but I just...
00:08:57Tina, my dear.
00:08:58Don't be so hard on yourself.
00:08:59It will only make it worse.
00:09:02Ask yourself one thing.
00:09:05Do you still have feelings for him?
00:09:13Some ties don't sever easily.
00:09:16You're stubborn, child.
00:09:19Please.
00:09:20Too much separates us.
00:09:22Class.
00:09:24Status.
00:09:26My disappearing without a word back then.
00:09:29He has every reason to hate me.
00:09:32I don't think so.
00:09:34After all these years?
00:09:37Don't rush your answer.
00:09:40He will show you.
00:09:47Mr. Davis, shall we begin?
00:09:50Ask Tina first.
00:09:51That's absurd.
00:09:53She's a junior planner.
00:09:55She doesn't deserve to start.
00:09:56If you're not willing to listen to Tina's proposal, then please...
00:09:59Leave.
00:10:04Fine.
00:10:05Let her play.
00:10:07I'll stay and watch the show.
00:10:11Tina.
00:10:13Are you ready?
00:10:15Three days have passed.
00:10:17It's time for Tina to present her campaign proposal.
00:10:25Today, I'm not here to advertise Lightspeed's products.
00:10:29I'm here to expose the real state of women in the workplace.
00:10:35I'm here to expose the real state of women in the workplace.
00:10:40You should really focus on your campaign.
00:10:43Peter!
00:10:44Please take this lady out of this meeting and let her rest.
00:10:48Lady?
00:10:49Her name is Isabella.
00:10:51Sorry.
00:10:51I've forgotten your name.
00:10:54Please leave.
00:10:57She knows what she did wrong.
00:10:58It won't happen again.
00:11:01Please.
00:11:02Tina, go on.
00:11:04Latest data shows over 30% of illegible women leave the workforce due to family and childbirth pressures.
00:11:10This systemic inequality squanders talent.
00:11:13And cause society dearly.
00:11:16Lightspeed will sponsor the initiative.
00:11:19The new professional line becomes a narrative thread.
00:11:21So everyone who supports the cause learns the brand's story.
00:11:36What are you two now?
00:11:38That's Mr. Davis' coffee.
00:11:40Put it down.
00:11:41Mr. Davis gave it to Tina.
00:11:43Why are you in such a hurry?
00:12:03I'm in the planning department.
00:12:05Tina speaking.
00:12:07Tina, it's me.
00:12:10Mr. Davis.
00:12:12Have you eaten?
00:12:13Is there something work-related?
00:12:16Well, regarding the collaboration, within three days, I want a refined budget and I want clear projections.
00:12:22I'll need more specifics.
00:12:24Could we have a detailed brief?
00:12:25Well, as you're the head planner, you should be able to source and perfect your own information.
00:12:29Effective research comes from reliable data.
00:12:32If your input is vague, I can't fabricate numbers.
00:12:35I don't know why I talk to you about work.
00:12:36You take work so seriously.
00:12:38If there's nothing about my work, goodnight, Mr. Davis.
00:12:41Do you know why I insist on this project?
00:12:48Do you know why I insist on this project?
00:12:51Lightspeed needs a breakthrough and sharper positioning.
00:12:54Apart from that?
00:12:56Beyond that, I'm unaware.
00:12:59You know exactly what I mean.
00:13:02Strictly work, Mr. Davis.
00:13:06Fine.
00:13:07Make a plan and I'll wait for you.
00:13:14Who's that?
00:13:16No one.
00:13:17Just a tricky client.
00:13:20Clients?
00:13:21It's the middle of the night.
00:13:23What clients?
00:13:25If you've rested enough, get up and get back to work.
00:13:36Squirrels.
00:13:37Cute.
00:13:38Squirrels?
00:13:41That one with the papers is basically us.
00:13:44And the tail snipped one, unreasonable demands.
00:13:48He'll understand.
00:13:50He?
00:13:51You mean, Mr. Davis?
00:13:55Never mind.
00:13:57Check that spreadsheet, please.
00:13:59So, what are you two now?
00:14:02Not just client and agency, that's for sure.
00:14:05Overthinking.
00:14:06Strictly work.
00:14:07Did he give you squirrel merch?
00:14:09Did you raise a squirrel together?
00:14:11Because I could write an 80-page drama on this, so spill.
00:14:18University days.
00:14:19I sketched during lectures.
00:14:22Edward always knew what I'd draw.
00:14:25Said my pictures spoke louder than my words.
00:14:27Aha!
00:14:28So he assigned this project to you to stay in your orbit.
00:14:31Not what you think.
00:14:33That chapter is...
00:14:35closed.
00:14:36Closed, my foot.
00:14:38Details, please.
00:14:41Those days...
00:14:42I'll never forget them.
00:14:45So, library meet-cute?
00:14:48Society activity?
00:14:49Neither.
00:14:50Debate and contest.
00:14:51He was affirmative.
00:14:53I was negative.
00:14:54Sparks flew, eh?
00:14:55He was brilliant.
00:14:57Almost demolished me.
00:14:59And then?
00:15:00That was when I decided
00:15:02I would stop in nothing to win his heart.
00:15:07I started provoking him.
00:15:10Sled across him from study hall.
00:15:12Sled some notes.
00:15:14Extra evidence.
00:15:16Knit pics and...
00:15:18My phone number.
00:15:19Academic veneer.
00:15:21Romanticore.
00:15:23I called it seeking intellectual combat.
00:15:26And...
00:15:27Maybe a boyfriend.
00:15:28And...
00:15:29Poker face melted.
00:15:32So...
00:15:33How did it end?
00:15:38This is the final flat you meant.
00:15:40I bought it.
00:15:42It's the closest one available.
00:15:44No more crowded buses for you.
00:15:46And we could turn the entire floor
00:15:49into your own private library.
00:15:50I'm so thoughtful.
00:15:52On time.
00:15:54Private library.
00:15:56He was a beer to our conglomerate.
00:15:58And...
00:16:00I was just...
00:16:02Ordinary.
00:16:04I knew I'd just be a...
00:16:06Brief trip to his life.
00:16:08And...
00:16:08I thought it would be best
00:16:10to end it early.
00:16:12That's fear.
00:16:13Not logic.
00:16:15So you dumped him?
00:16:18Yes.
00:16:19How could you?
00:16:22You loved each other.
00:16:28Morning.
00:16:29Sleepy head.
00:16:37All finished?
00:16:39Fresh off the press.
00:16:41Needs saving to the folder.
00:16:46This is...
00:16:48Excellent work.
00:16:49You two have done very well.
00:16:51Why don't you go get some rest?
00:16:53We'll tidy this up.
00:16:54But...
00:16:55The meeting's this afternoon.
00:16:57I still have to prepare my presentation.
00:16:58Don't worry.
00:16:59Get some rest.
00:17:01You need to have your energy
00:17:02for this afternoon's meeting.
00:17:04You're right.
00:17:06Thank you, Director.
00:17:24He doesn't look thrilled.
00:17:26Go on.
00:17:28Tina, look.
00:17:32Tina, look.
00:17:34That's our proposal,
00:17:35but it says Isabella's name on it.
00:17:41Someone care to explain?
00:17:44Mr. Thompson?
00:17:46Is this your latest proposal?
00:17:48Indeed, sir.
00:17:50Ms. Carter poured her heart into it.
00:17:52An all-nighter, in fact.
00:17:53It's my very best work.
00:17:55Well,
00:17:56her heart is...
00:17:58impressive.
00:17:59What?
00:18:01Inaccurate data.
00:18:03Fuzzy positioning
00:18:04and scattered targets.
00:18:06How could you bring this to me?
00:18:08Edward, you can't say that.
00:18:09There's never been anything wrong
00:18:11with my proposal.
00:18:12Surely this is a misunderstanding.
00:18:15I don't misunderstand work.
00:18:18Since you don't know
00:18:19what women need in the workplace,
00:18:22I'll show you.
00:18:23That's your art.
00:18:24Tina.
00:18:25That's the career handbook
00:18:27that was in the papers recently.
00:18:29I recall
00:18:31so many companies
00:18:33offered to buy the rights,
00:18:34but the author wouldn't sell.
00:18:37Of all people,
00:18:39who is Tina?
00:18:41Correct.
00:18:42This is the career guide
00:18:43that won so many fans on campus.
00:18:45And it was written by
00:18:47Tina Green.
00:18:50Impossible.
00:18:51Who does she think she is?
00:18:53This project belongs to her.
00:18:59If it wasn't for Tina Green,
00:19:00I'd pull this project to the medium.
00:19:02What right does she have?
00:19:03She's just some junior planner.
00:19:06She doesn't even have a proper title.
00:19:07She can't possibly be qualified
00:19:09to take on such a big project.
00:19:11I'm the chief planner.
00:19:12Your company's benchmark for chief
00:19:16is questionable.
00:19:19Surely there's a misunderstanding here.
00:19:21At Almond,
00:19:22we pride ourselves
00:19:23on our commitment
00:19:24to collaboration.
00:19:25Mr. Thompson,
00:19:26I have two conditions.
00:19:28One,
00:19:28Tina has full authority.
00:19:30And number two,
00:19:31I will only
00:19:32work with the chief planner.
00:19:39Partners,
00:19:41colleagues,
00:19:42today,
00:19:43Ms. Tina Green
00:19:43is officially promoted
00:19:45to chief planner at Almond.
00:19:47Oh,
00:19:49this is definitely crazy.
00:19:53So,
00:19:54can chief planner Tina
00:19:56now represent your company
00:19:58in handling this project?
00:20:04Tina,
00:20:05you ready yet?
00:20:07Hurry,
00:20:07we still have location scouting.
00:20:12Tina,
00:20:13you okay?
00:20:18Oh my god.
00:20:19Tina,
00:20:20what happened?
00:20:21My stomach
00:20:21hurts so much.
00:20:24I'll get your medicine.
00:20:25Where are you then?
00:20:26Sure.
00:20:27I bet you went to the table.
00:20:29Bedroom.
00:20:42Which drawer?
00:20:42I can't find it.
00:20:44Tina,
00:20:45I can't find it.
00:20:45What do I do?
00:20:47Um,
00:20:48please.
00:20:51Please.
00:21:03Tina?
00:21:06Tina,
00:21:06are you okay?
00:21:07Mr. Davis?
00:21:09Tina's sick.
00:21:10Really bad stomach pain.
00:21:11I can't find her men.
00:21:12What's her address?
00:21:14Flat 4B.
00:21:1527 Ravens,
00:21:16Croft Road.
00:21:17Okay,
00:21:17I'll be there right away.
00:21:19How do you know the address?
00:21:20Hello?
00:21:21Hello?
00:21:24Tina?
00:21:25Oh my god.
00:21:26Oh my god.
00:21:27Tina.
00:21:27Tina.
00:21:29Tina!
00:21:30Tina!
00:21:32Tina!
00:21:33Mr. Davis,
00:21:34how'd you get here so fast?
00:21:35How'd you get this bad?
00:21:36Tina!
00:21:37Tina!
00:21:37hey,
00:21:38hey.
00:21:38Edward.
00:21:39Just a minute.
00:22:06Mr. Davis?
00:22:09Mr. Davis?
00:22:17lamps. Tina, take this. You'll feel better. Heat patch, painkillers. How'd you know where
00:22:27everything was? She's always had this. Always? One time at uni, she fell into an icy lake
00:22:39and ever since her periods have been brutal. So that's why she's always in pain. She keeps
00:22:47him in there. She's the type that once she's made her mind up on something, she never changes
00:22:53it. Even if she decides to leave you.
00:23:11Good morning. What are you doing in my apartment? Last night you...
00:23:17Who let you in? Judy? Or was it me? Judy called me on your phone.
00:23:26Oh, was it because... Wait, you remember my address.
00:23:30Oh, I...
00:23:31Tina, you awake? I brought breakfast. Uh, hi, Mr. Edward. You're here too. Um, I hope
00:23:40I didn't come at a bad time.
00:23:41Uh, well...
00:23:56You have no idea. Last night you were white as a sheet.
00:24:01He dashed in and scooped you up into his arms. It was more touching than any TV drama.
00:24:08That heat patch, painkillers, he knew exactly where they were. And he stayed by your sight
00:24:14all night, rubbing your stomach. His eyes were bloodshot. Definitely still has feelings for
00:24:26you.
00:24:27Who's at that?
00:24:31See, I told you he still likes you. I just walked in.
00:24:34Feeling any better?
00:24:36Much better. Uh, what's this? You bought all this?
00:24:44I always did this for you. And I would like to keep doing it for you, if you let me.
00:24:50Wow, Mr. Davis, you are thorough. Brought you tampons.
00:24:57I just remembered. I have a rush amendment back at the office. Mustache. Bye.
00:25:06Yeah, let me take that.
00:25:12I got you some hot milk.
00:25:15You still remember my favorite?
00:25:19I always remember.
00:25:26Why? We broke up years ago.
00:25:29Some things are kind of hard to forget.
00:25:33Let's not rehash the past. We work together now. Nothing else.
00:25:38Just work?
00:25:40Okay, then show me the proposal.
00:25:44It's not polished yet. It needs revision.
00:25:50Break the mold.
00:25:51No, Edward.
00:25:52Undefined power of women at work.
00:25:55Look, okay, alright. I'll see it eventually.
00:25:57Why don't we just sit down?
00:26:04How are you feeling?
00:26:06Still a bit dizzy.
00:26:24The star is my heart.
00:26:26Edward, may it follow you wherever you go.
00:26:29You have my word.
00:26:31I won't disappoint you.
00:26:38You still wear it.
00:26:40After all those years.
00:26:42I thought you forgot.
00:26:45I wear it to remind myself of what you did to me.
00:26:51I wear it to remind myself of what you did to me.
00:26:55What I did to you.
00:26:58I simply faced reality.
00:27:00Reality?
00:27:02Reality is you cast me aside like I was nothing.
00:27:05And you didn't even give me a chance to explain myself.
00:27:08What good was explaining?
00:27:09We were never from the same world.
00:27:12From the same world?
00:27:14That's all I get after all these years.
00:27:16Rich people like you will never understand what regular people like me go through.
00:27:20You need to forget that this was ever a thing.
00:27:25And that isn't yours to wear.
00:27:28You are still so stubborn.
00:27:32Look at you.
00:27:34Tailored suits.
00:27:35Lightspeed CEO.
00:27:37You're fine.
00:27:39Do you think I asked for these titles?
00:27:40Do you think I wanted to be CEO?
00:27:42No.
00:27:44From start to finish you never understood what I really wanted.
00:27:48I do understand.
00:27:57Out.
00:28:26How about this one for you?
00:28:30And whose is that one?
00:28:32Mine, obviously.
00:28:34Couples keychains.
00:28:35If you accept it, you know what it means.
00:28:37What does that mean?
00:28:39That we're a couple.
00:28:40Couple?
00:28:41Did I say yes?
00:28:43Too late.
00:28:43You already took it.
00:28:44That's consent.
00:28:58Why do you keep all this in there?
00:29:09Hello?
00:29:09Tina, where are you?
00:29:13Tina, where are you?
00:29:17Tina!
00:29:18OMG, you fight here?
00:29:20What happened?
00:29:21Isabella's father slash board member just arrived.
00:29:23Our project?
00:29:24My team channel.
00:29:42Well, well, it is an almond star planner.
00:29:45Cycling to work.
00:29:47Cycling to work?
00:29:47How cute.
00:29:49Your canvas tote really matches your status.
00:29:51My attire has nothing to do with my proposal.
00:29:54You have no right to-
00:29:55No right?
00:29:56I'll show you exactly what right means.
00:29:59Why are these two useless humans in my way?
00:30:05Tina!
00:30:06Are you okay?
00:30:10Are you okay?
00:30:14Oops.
00:30:15I'm so sorry.
00:30:16My bodyguard can be a little clumsy.
00:30:19You don't mind though, do you?
00:30:21I guess you can't very well have a stained shirt in the meeting.
00:30:24Go buy her a new one and make sure it costs ten times more than what she's wearing.
00:30:29It'll probably be the priciest thing she ever wears.
00:30:38She did that on purpose.
00:30:40It's fine.
00:30:41It's fine?
00:30:43How are you going to face everyone?
00:30:45The meeting starts in a few minutes.
00:30:48No time to change.
00:30:51A planner wins with skill, not style.
00:31:07All men project review now in session.
00:31:18Next, please welcome one of our chief planners, Ms. Isabella, to present her Women's Employment
00:31:25Empowerment Project.
00:31:31I am delighted to present my carefully crafted plan on the Women's Employment Empowerment Project
00:31:37titled, Breaking the Mold, Unbinding Her Power.
00:31:40That's our proposal title.
00:31:42Our project aims to break conventional employment and workwear concepts, giving women equal opportunities
00:31:49and appropriate attire for every workplace.
00:31:52Therefore, our core strategy is to hire only women and create a fully female work environment.
00:31:59That was amazing, honey.
00:32:01Doesn't my daughter greats?
00:32:03You, what do you-
00:32:05Judy, some lofty opinions?
00:32:08Or Tina, perhaps you have some objections to my plan?
00:32:13Yes, I have something to say.
00:32:18Yes, I have something to say.
00:32:20Some may find our strategy too bold, but only boldness proves Allman's resolve and
00:32:26forges a unique market edge.
00:32:28I think it's excellent.
00:32:34Any different views?
00:32:39Given the project's nature and Allman's status, only boldness will give shocking effects.
00:32:46Something a slogan shouting Tina could never attude.
00:32:51Isabella's bold strategy is indeed shocking.
00:32:57So shocking that Amin may wear the label of reverse discrimination.
00:33:02Reverse discrimination?
00:33:03That's serious.
00:33:05Tina, what do you mean?
00:33:07Do you mean to seize power, you would abandon your persona and speak for men?
00:33:11My meaning is clear, Isabella.
00:33:14Using extremes to fight injustice only breeds new injustice.
00:33:17Tearing apart a society that needs unity.
00:33:24Isabella, your woman-only charter may grab attention, but it pits women against men on
00:33:31another scale.
00:33:32Well said.
00:33:33I have 50 corporate endorsements and resources.
00:33:37They'll post women-only ads and supply jobs.
00:33:41Tina, what do you have?
00:33:43That's not empowerment.
00:33:45It just shoves women into another extreme.
00:33:47Label privilege.
00:33:49When a trend fails, the backlash will be harsher.
00:33:54True equality comes from fair systems in hiring, benefits, and promotion.
00:34:00From blind, gender-neutral assessments.
00:34:03Not from gender privilege.
00:34:05Otherwise, the public will mock us.
00:34:09True fairness comes from blind selection and gender-free evaluation.
00:34:19Lightspeed values, fairness, and efficiency.
00:34:23If a project is founded on reverse discrimination, it cannot gain respect.
00:34:29You're denying Amin's efforts.
00:34:31I'm stating facts.
00:34:32A flawed plan remains flawed, however shiny.
00:34:37Dad!
00:34:39Mr. Davis, haven't you taken this all too far?
00:34:42It's the truth.
00:34:43And remember, Isabella was never my chosen planner.
00:34:49It was always Tina.
00:34:54Edward, what do you mean?
00:34:55Stop wasting time.
00:34:57Tina is my planner.
00:34:59Continue these tricks, and Lightspeed will stop any collaboration.
00:35:03Peter, why keep changing planners?
00:35:07Uh, proposal re-evaluation.
00:35:10Meeting adjourned.
00:35:11Don't you?
00:35:12Don't you?
00:35:13Don't you?
00:35:13Don't you?
00:35:13Don't you?
00:35:15Don't you?
00:35:17You are amazing!
00:35:18Mr. Davis had your back.
00:35:20He simply spoke truth.
00:35:24Why is he leaving so fast?
00:35:25Did you have a fight?
00:35:27No.
00:35:28Why did he leave without saying goodbye to us?
00:35:31Maybe...
00:35:32Urgent business?
00:35:39Tina, we're screwed.
00:35:41What is it?
00:35:41Our key visual and copy all replaced.
00:35:43What? Like what?
00:35:44What makes an elite woman?
00:35:46Check your mail off.
00:35:51What is this?
00:35:53The design team said that director Isabella ordered it overnight.
00:36:00What did you do?
00:36:03What did I do?
00:36:05Just a planning director's duty.
00:36:07Those sponsors are my resources.
00:36:10They pick the materials.
00:36:11So if you object, well, impossible.
00:36:15Isabella, don't go too far.
00:36:18Too far?
00:36:19I'm just showing you, the workplace isn't simple.
00:36:23Just wait, Tina Green, this is only the beginning.
00:36:25You think this wins you the project?
00:36:28I'm just showing you reality.
00:36:30Do you really think your shabby proposal will please him?
00:36:34Edward's favor is not going to help you at all.
00:36:36The Davis family has been rich for generations.
00:36:39Have you ever heard of being well-matched?
00:36:41Shut up.
00:36:43Have I hit a nerve?
00:36:45A nobody with no background could never end up with Edward.
00:36:49Stop dreaming.
00:36:50You're not worthy.
00:36:52Sure.
00:36:53I'm no spoiled brat like you.
00:36:56No rich father to wreck other people's hard work.
00:36:59Everything I have, I earned.
00:37:03Isabella, you're pathetic.
00:37:06Enough.
00:37:08Enough.
00:37:11Isabella, let me make this clear for everyone's sake.
00:37:14My company has not a single connection to the Davis family.
00:37:18Lightspeed was founded entirely by me.
00:37:21With my own money.
00:37:23You have no right to meddle in my business or my choices.
00:37:27You?
00:37:29Alone?
00:37:30How?
00:37:32Family shackles once cost me the most important person.
00:37:37I used to believe that if I worked hard enough, I could escape anything.
00:37:45But reality has shown me.
00:37:48Once you're bounded by the shackles of family, it's almost impossible to break free.
00:37:54Your well-matched talk means nothing to me.
00:37:58Impossible.
00:37:59You could never have started a company without your family.
00:38:03Lightspeed must bring back to them.
00:38:04From day one, Lightspeed has had one shareholder.
00:38:09Me.
00:38:10No Davis assets were involved.
00:38:14Edward, you did all that.
00:38:16You should have told me you did all that.
00:38:18Every step I take is so I could stand in front of you.
00:38:22Me?
00:38:23You.
00:38:24And just you.
00:38:27Tina.
00:38:29I want you to know that we can start again.
00:38:40Even if Lightspeed is clean, didn't you seduce Edward?
00:38:45Are you clean, Tina?
00:38:47Your behavior is absolutely unprofessional.
00:38:51Spreading lies in public?
00:38:53Publicly defaming women's character?
00:38:55Where is this noble virtue you so proudly pretend to have?
00:38:58I'm just speaking the truth.
00:39:00Do you care to deny it?
00:39:02By bringing your personal vendettas into the workplace,
00:39:05you are proving to be an unfit planner.
00:39:07I demand that you step down from this project immediately.
00:39:10On what grounds?
00:39:12On the grounds that I'm project leader.
00:39:14Don't be smug, Tina Green.
00:39:16I will show you the cost.
00:39:17Every step you take now ruins your future.
00:39:20I'm chief planner.
00:39:21She stole my project.
00:39:23Stole?
00:39:23I never stole.
00:39:25You're arrogant, conceited, and pitiful.
00:39:31You've taken this too far.
00:39:34Fine.
00:39:36I'll make you regret this, Tina Green.
00:39:38I will make sure you never have any standing in this industry.
00:39:49Could you fix those fairy lights, please?
00:39:53Go home, Judy.
00:39:55It's fine.
00:39:55I'll finish up.
00:39:56Sure.
00:39:57Don't worry.
00:39:58Gores.
00:39:58Thank you so much.
00:40:14Hello?
00:40:18Anyone there?
00:40:23Hey, hey, Tina.
00:40:25It's me.
00:40:39You're okay?
00:40:41Edward.
00:40:43Why are you here?
00:40:46The power cut out, and I wanted to check on you.
00:40:50How did you know I was insane?
00:40:53I wait for you here every day.
00:40:55Every day?
00:40:57Yeah.
00:40:58Every day.
00:40:59And you're always the last one to leave.
00:41:01You really don't have to.
00:41:16Something's wrong.
00:41:19Uh, yeah.
00:41:21Um, I'll go check.
00:41:25Wait.
00:41:27Come with me.
00:41:37Something's wrong.
00:41:38Someone sabotaged it?
00:41:40Yeah.
00:41:42These wires aren't from the same batch.
00:41:44Whatever it rolls wants you to fail.
00:41:46Could it be Isabella?
00:41:51It could be.
00:41:53What now?
00:41:54The doors are electric.
00:41:55We're trapped.
00:42:17It's been so long since I've held you.
00:42:21How long has it been?
00:42:23Years.
00:42:25It feels like yesterday we were on campus together.
00:42:27I still don't remember.
00:42:31I remember everything.
00:42:36What do we do now?
00:42:38I'll figure something out.
00:42:44So, do you really wait for me here every day?
00:42:47Yeah, well, I kind of get worried something might happen to you.
00:42:51You really don't have to.
00:42:52Yeah, I do.
00:42:53Do you remember what happened at uni?
00:42:54In the library?
00:42:55Mm-hmm.
00:42:56Yeah?
00:42:56And the lights cut out and you dived under the table?
00:42:58I did not.
00:42:59Yes, you did.
00:42:59I was looking for you everywhere.
00:43:01And when I found you, you were under the table like a kitten.
00:43:03Don't pretend like you weren't scared.
00:43:04You were screaming my name the whole time.
00:43:06Yeah, but I was just worried for you.
00:43:09I thought you'd run away.
00:43:12How could I?
00:43:15I waited for you every day.
00:43:23That wasn't your only silly moment.
00:43:25Oh, yeah?
00:43:27Remember when you tried to steal that book from me
00:43:29and spilled coffee all over the professor's paper?
00:43:31Yeah, but that wasn't just my fault, if you remember.
00:43:34You drank the book so hard that it just fell out of my hair.
00:43:37Oh, right, so it's all my fault.
00:43:39Yeah.
00:43:39We spent the whole week cleaning that library.
00:43:44Back then, I thought we'd always stay that way.
00:43:55Tina, when you left, I was stunned.
00:43:59I pictured our whole life together.
00:44:03I never thought you wouldn't be in it.
00:44:05We belong to different worlds.
00:44:09You're brilliant.
00:44:11Your future is bright, and I'm just ordinary.
00:44:17I felt I'm staying with you and only hold you back.
00:44:24Tina, can we start over?
00:44:34Tina, could we start over?
00:44:40I bought the necklace.
00:44:42I hope the money lasts till month, and I need another job.
00:44:48Tina.
00:44:49Edward.
00:44:51Here.
00:44:52What's this?
00:44:54For me?
00:44:55Mm-hmm.
00:44:57Aw.
00:44:58Match it.
00:45:00Birthday present.
00:45:01I saved up for it, but I bought it.
00:45:03The star is my heart.
00:45:05Edward, may it follow you wherever you go.
00:45:09You have my word.
00:45:11I won't disappoint you.
00:45:16Oh, you said you wanted a flat near campus, right?
00:45:19I did my homework.
00:45:21I found a cheap one here.
00:45:23We could turn the living room like this, and turn the balcony into a garden, and we could-
00:45:27I bought it.
00:45:29This is the final flat you meant.
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:32Look.
00:45:33I bought it.
00:45:35No more crowded buses for you.
00:45:37Closest one available.
00:45:38We could turn the entire floor into your own private library.
00:45:41I'm so thoughtful, aren't I?
00:45:44Private library?
00:45:53I have to ask.
00:45:56Can we?
00:45:58Can we?
00:45:59Stop.
00:46:01I have to ask.
00:46:04Can we?
00:46:15Power's back.
00:46:17Good.
00:46:19Now the expo can proceed smoothly.
00:46:22Tina.
00:46:23I'll double check the lights before the show, and Mr. Davis, if you have any other requests,
00:46:28just let me know.
00:46:29I'll refine the plan.
00:46:29Alright.
00:46:30But-
00:46:31If there's nothing else, I'll be off.
00:46:34Why are you leaving in such a rush?
00:46:36It's late.
00:46:37I have to finish tomorrow's work.
00:46:40I have to finish tomorrow's work.
00:46:41And-
00:46:41Oh, Mr. Davis.
00:46:46Try to get some rest.
00:46:49Good night.
00:46:52I almost gave in.
00:47:16I almost gave in.
00:47:31Tina, the expo black house at local news.
00:47:33You okay?
00:47:36Are you okay?
00:47:39I'm fine.
00:47:41Edward stayed with me.
00:47:43Edward?
00:47:44What was he doing there?
00:47:45It's nothing.
00:47:46But he asked me if-
00:47:50Asked what?
00:47:51If you have a boyfriend?
00:47:53If you miss him?
00:47:54He asked me if we could start over.
00:47:58OMG!
00:48:00Start over?
00:48:01That is a request for reconciliation.
00:48:04The ship is sailing.
00:48:05I've moved.
00:48:06It's not what you think.
00:48:07I told you he likes you.
00:48:10He basically said, can we start again?
00:48:12No.
00:48:13The lights came back on.
00:48:14He didn't finish.
00:48:14So?
00:48:15Message received.
00:48:17And what about you?
00:48:18Do you still love him?
00:48:26Tina, you didn't answer, B.
00:48:28Do you still love him?
00:48:30I-
00:48:32I don't know.
00:48:34Don't know?
00:48:35Listen to yourself.
00:48:37That necklace, you still wear it.
00:48:39Isn't that affection?
00:48:41That's all in the past, I-
00:48:43The past?
00:48:44You're all tied up in knots right now.
00:48:46Edward might be sharp-tongued and even ice-cold, but he did stay with you for the whole blackout.
00:48:53And he gave you that half-line.
00:48:56Tina, you're in his heart.
00:48:59But we split because we're from different worlds.
00:49:01What matters is genuine feeling, mutual support.
00:49:06You think, he became your client just to back you up.
00:49:10Not every boss would do that.
00:49:13That's confusing.
00:49:15Confusion equals love.
00:49:19Stop overthinking.
00:49:21Just say it.
00:49:22Do you still love him?
00:49:31Hello, Edward?
00:49:36Hello, Edward?
00:49:39Mr. Davis?
00:49:41Ah, Tina.
00:49:42Sorry for calling late.
00:49:43I was, um, I just wanted to talk about the expo.
00:49:47We've had the wires checked and we've got new lights fitted, so no more incidents.
00:49:53Oh!
00:49:55I should have handled that.
00:49:56Sorry to trouble you.
00:49:57Oh, yeah.
00:49:58It's fine.
00:50:01You once told me that you like that patisserie's cake.
00:50:06I was wondering if maybe you would like to go together?
00:50:15You could buy one and bring it over to my place.
00:50:19We could eat together.
00:50:22Wait, what?
00:50:23Say that again.
00:50:25I...
00:50:26I said...
00:50:26Deal.
00:50:28I...
00:50:29You're trapped now.
00:50:32Tina.
00:50:34We could...
00:50:35I said you could bring it over.
00:50:40Oh my god, she said it.
00:50:42She really said it.
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:45Alright.
00:50:47Um...
00:50:48I'd really like to see you.
00:50:52Uh, are...
00:50:53Are you okay?
00:50:54What awful lines.
00:50:55Stop making it worse.
00:50:58So, tomorrow then?
00:51:00I'll wait for you.
00:51:01Um...
00:51:02Mm-hmm.
00:51:04Good night.
00:51:05Good night.
00:51:12Girl, you are in love!
00:51:14No!
00:51:15Thanks!
00:51:17Nonsense.
00:51:18Look at you.
00:51:20That necklace will wear away.
00:51:37I'll see you tomorrow, Tina.
00:51:41Let's go!
00:51:41Let's go!
00:51:43Let's go!
00:51:46Shift panel A, three centimeters left.
00:51:50Sound.
00:51:51Background volume lower.
00:51:56All staffers get to arrive in time.
00:52:06I'll stop, first guests arrive at the tent.
00:52:09I'm here to witness a top man's birth.
00:52:12I want to see every step of your success.
00:52:15Edward, you're worth it.
00:52:16I know. Therefore, I'm a guest.
00:52:20Heading in.
00:52:23Well, well, well, Tina.
00:52:25This whole show, and yet you still need your boyfriend to prop you up.
00:52:31I guess some women just can't do anything without a man.
00:52:34Isabella, by making things hard for Tina, you make things very hard for me.
00:52:39Those who spend their lifetime slandering others should really think about focusing on themselves.
00:52:49Go. Your stage is waiting.
00:52:55All departments, expo and commence.
00:53:05Planetina, audience response is huge.
00:53:08What's your unique take on not being defined is the definition of a profession?
00:53:13I believe women's power is limitless.
00:53:16Employment is not only for survival.
00:53:18It's self-realization and freedom.
00:53:21We hope this event shows women their true potential and pushes them to step forward.
00:53:26What made these events so successful?
00:53:28Team Effort Alman.
00:53:30And special thanks to Lightspeed and President Edward Ginglis, whose trust made the new professional women's vision possible.
00:53:45You did it.
00:53:46You're number one.
00:53:48It's time.
00:53:55Mark my words.
00:53:57She's going to fail miserably.
00:54:06Wait.
00:54:08This whole expo is a pure show.
00:54:12Almond and their distinguished planner, Tina Green, have stolen my concept.
00:54:18She has no right to host this event.
00:54:21What's going on?
00:54:22Breaking news.
00:54:23Who is this woman?
00:54:26What's in a talk?
00:54:27Stay out of it.
00:54:30Look.
00:54:32These are my slides from my private meeting with Mr. Edward Davis.
00:54:39Tina Green plagiarized my original concept.
00:54:43She's a fraud and a liar.
00:54:47A liar.
00:54:50Liar.
00:54:52Please be quiet.
00:54:55I'm Tina Green, planner at Almond.
00:54:58What you see today is my own project.
00:55:01On women's employment.
00:55:03She says I stole her idea.
00:55:06That I lack qualifications.
00:55:09Yes.
00:55:10Inside Almond, I've been inexperienced.
00:55:12Even suppressed.
00:55:14My proposal was killed again and again.
00:55:18Seven times.
00:55:21Seven complete rejections of my work.
00:55:24Yeah.
00:55:34I have no backing.
00:55:37Only effort and persistence.
00:55:41I started with tiny charity events.
00:55:43Building experience piece by piece.
00:55:46Every project is my blood and sleepless nights.
00:55:50There is no fakery.
00:55:52No theft.
00:55:55If you doubt me, show real evidence.
00:56:00Otherwise, I will pursue legal action.
00:56:07Is there internal suppression at Almond?
00:56:10The truth is being hidden?
00:56:12Tina, why are you so angry?
00:56:14Everyone can see with the guilty panic.
00:56:17She may hide behind powerful corporations and men, but she is exploiting women's issues for clout.
00:56:26Dream on if you think this event whitewashes the truth.
00:56:30Serious allegation.
00:56:32So that's the story.
00:56:34Yes.
00:56:36As you suspect, Tina Green has climbed the corporate ladder on the arms of a man, Edward Davis, her ex
00:56:45-boyfriend.
00:56:46She's used every trick in the book to shove someone with far superior credentials out of the way.
00:56:55Don't believe her nonsense.
00:56:57Stop filming.
00:56:59People like her have no place in our industry.
00:57:08Ladies and gentlemen, may I say a few words?
00:57:12Ladies and gentlemen, may I say a few words?
00:57:16I'm Hartley, director of the nursing home, and I would like to speak of Almond and Miss Tina's unseen contributions.
00:57:26Mrs. Hartley, what are you doing here?
00:57:28For a long time, Tina has driven the women's re-employment support program inside Almond, never giving up, despite setbacks.
00:57:38That's not Almond's prior publicity.
00:57:41And that's not what he said, I'd like to just say.
00:57:43Well, here are names.
00:57:45Women who've been laid off during pregnancy or unjustly terminated.
00:57:50Tina contacted us, secured jobs.
00:57:53Lisa, our carer, she was fired when she was seven months pregnant.
00:57:59Tina found her work.
00:58:02Charlotte.
00:58:03Oh, Charlotte.
00:58:03She wasn't able to return after giving birth.
00:58:06And Tina said a woman's value is not defined by marriage or childbirth.
00:58:14This list is a record of all the women that Tina has helped re-employed, far more than just those
00:58:21few I've mentioned.
00:58:23That's impossible.
00:58:24If this isn't genuine action for equality, what is?
00:58:29Do you choose to believe someone who has done genuine nursing care for three years, her quiet dedication, earning her
00:58:38the praise of every woman that she helped?
00:58:41Or will you erase her efforts and trust the slander that you've heard?
00:58:46I now return the floor to the woman who truly helps women, Ms. Tina Green.
00:58:57Ms. Green, any defense?
00:59:01Facts speak louder.
00:59:03All men invest greatly in the Women's Support Plan.
00:59:06This is a team, even company effort.
00:59:19Not being defined is the new definition of a profession.
00:59:22Almond and Lightspeed want every woman from different backgrounds and different ages to choose their path freely.
00:59:29Go.
00:59:30Huh?
00:59:30Put up my slides.
00:59:39It's Edward Davis.
00:59:44I'm Edward Davis.
00:59:46Founder and CEO of Lightspeed.
00:59:51Tina's project aligns with our mission to empower women.
00:59:56Therefore, Lightspeed will add a $1 million fund to Tina's program.
01:00:01That is an unprecedented level of support for a public welfare project.
01:00:06Lightspeed is pretty bold.
01:00:08As long as you're willing to share your employment story and use the tags hashtag BreakTheMold,
01:00:14Hashtag Undefined Professionals, you will be eligible to share in this $1 million fund.
01:00:21We encourage women to share their story, successes and setbacks alike, so that the world can hear your voice.
01:00:39Let go, you're my bodyguard.
01:00:42I'm loyal to Almond.
01:00:43Please cooperate.
01:00:47Congratulations, Miss Green.
01:00:49Thanks, Mr. Davis.
01:00:51Media friends and guests, due to this event's success, the board has decided to remove Mr. Peter Thompson as marketing
01:01:02director.
01:01:02What?
01:01:04And Miss Isabella Carter as planning director.
01:01:08What?
01:01:09You can't do that.
01:01:10I'm the board director's daughter.
01:01:12And Mr. Carter, you're removed too, sir.
01:01:17This is ridiculous.
01:01:19Let go.
01:01:20I can go myself.
01:01:23You'll regret this, Tina.
01:01:25You witch.
01:01:34Ladies and gentlemen, the launch is now concluded.
01:01:39Tina, I need to talk to you.
01:01:44Tina, we did it.
01:01:46Yes, we did it.
01:01:51Where's Edward?
01:01:52He said he needed to...
01:01:53He's probably busy.
01:01:55Oh, uh, let's tidy up.
01:01:57Ignore him.
01:01:59Be honest.
01:02:02About...
01:02:03After all he's done, how do you feel now?
01:02:08I...
01:02:09I guess I never really let go.
01:02:12Back then, I thought we'd be impossible.
01:02:15He was a golden boy and I was just...
01:02:18Ordinary.
01:02:19Parallel lines.
01:02:21I thought breaking up with him would just set him free.
01:02:24Now you know.
01:02:26He only cares about you.
01:02:29Yes, but...
01:02:30I'm still scared it's all an illusion.
01:02:32Happiness is here.
01:02:34Will you miss it again?
01:02:36What?
01:02:43Ready to talk?
01:02:51Tina, years ago you told me you didn't want to be Cinderella to someone's prince.
01:02:55I wished I could have given you the life my parents gave me.
01:02:59But now I see you just wanted equality and freedom.
01:03:05I never thought our biggest barrier would be my birth.
01:03:12I built Lightspeed for seven years.
01:03:16So I could stand next to you.
01:03:24Edward, I never thought we'd stand a chance.
01:03:28I've replayed my moments countless times and...
01:03:31Every time it feels like a dream, but...
01:03:34When the dream ends...
01:03:37There's nothing left.
01:03:39It was never a dream.
01:03:42If a prince abandons his castle...
01:03:47Will you still accept it?
01:03:53Are you proposing?
01:03:56Let me care for you.
01:03:58Let me love and protect you forever.
01:04:03Oh, Edward.
01:04:05Tina.
01:04:08You can go anywhere you wish.
01:04:10Do anything you want.
01:04:12Let me support you.
01:04:14Will you let me live this life with you?
01:04:18Tina.
01:04:19Tina.
01:04:30Will you marry me?
01:04:34Edward.
01:04:36I've spent so long running from what I wanted most.
01:04:39But...
01:04:40You walked out of that castle and...
01:04:43I'm ready to meet you halfway.
01:04:46So...
01:04:46Yes.
01:04:48I'll marry you.
01:04:51I'll marry you.
01:05:00This time...
01:05:03I won't run.
01:05:05I won't run.
01:05:09I won't run.
01:05:17I won't run.
01:05:19I won't run.
