00:03:58And if you try and ruin it again,
00:04:00you'll be the one that people are whispering about.
00:04:04Okay, I like that.
00:04:18I'm ready.
00:04:21Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Nick and Claudia,
00:04:27who are entering into holy matrimony with the help of God and of their family.
00:04:36Nick, do you take Claudia as your wife?
00:04:45What should I do?
00:04:47Please say yes.
00:04:49I'm so confused.
00:04:53I do.
00:04:57Claudia, do you take Nick as your husband?
00:05:03I've waited for this moment my whole life.
00:05:06I do.
00:05:26Nothing will ruin this day.
00:05:30Nick, you may now kiss your bride.
00:05:44Your lips feel so soft.
00:05:48He's kissing me for real.
00:05:56By the power vested in me,
00:05:58by the state of California,
00:06:00I hereby declare you husband and wife.
00:06:06I can't believe it.
00:06:08It's official. We're married.
00:06:10Yes, uh...
00:06:13Um...
00:06:14I need to go talk with some guests.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:32Oh my god, sister!
00:06:35Mazel tom!
00:06:37Aww.
00:06:38Oh, I can't believe he's still got an appetite.
00:06:41Oh, by the way, are you okay?
00:06:44Surely that must have been a little embarrassing with a spoon.
00:06:48Sorry if that sounded mean.
00:06:50I just...
00:06:52I'm really worried about you.
00:06:54So, I'm debating whether or not I should tell you this.
00:06:58Tell me what?
00:07:00Cheers.
00:07:02I overheard Nick having a conversation with his friend.
00:07:07Yeah, and what did he say?
00:07:09He said he only married you because...
00:07:12of the merger.
00:07:15Well, yeah.
00:07:16I mean, the whole marriage was...
00:07:18born out of the merger.
00:07:20But that's it, Claudia.
00:07:22Nick was looking forward to the wedding because he thought he was going to marry...
00:07:26Me?
00:07:30What?
00:07:32No.
00:07:33No, you're making this up.
00:07:35I know you.
00:07:36No, Claudia.
00:07:38And you saw for yourself how surprised he was.
00:07:41How surprised everybody was.
00:07:45And here you are.
00:07:46On your wedding day.
00:07:48Stuffing your face with cream puffs.
00:07:49Alone.
00:07:50With a ring that barely fits you.
00:07:54If he didn't know he was going to be marrying me...
00:07:57Why did he say I do?
00:07:59Other than the merger?
00:08:02Because...
00:08:03he...
00:08:04pities you.
00:08:06Obviously.
00:08:09You really are...
00:08:11pitiful.
00:08:14And you, Troy, are jealous.
00:08:16And a liar.
00:08:18Oh!
00:08:18You think so?
00:08:20Well...
00:08:20If you don't believe me...
00:08:22Then watch this.
00:08:30Choke.
00:08:32Hey.
00:08:35Yes?
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Stop.
00:08:46Hey, hey, hey.
00:08:47Hey, hey, hey.
00:08:48There's my beautiful bride.
00:08:49Not now, Roy.
00:08:51I'm too upset.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54Uh-uh.
00:08:54We are not going to let your basic biatch of a sister ruin your wedding night for you.
00:08:59She already has.
00:09:00Yes.
00:09:01Don't forget that tonight, that lusciously handsome man is going to sleep with you.
00:09:06Not her.
00:09:09You're right.
00:09:10You're right.
00:09:11He's mine tonight.
00:09:16Did he really not want to marry me?
00:09:18Was he disappointed when he saw me?
00:09:21Is all he sees in me a fat woman?
00:09:24Claudia!
00:09:25Enough!
00:09:25You've let Joy get into your head your whole life.
00:09:28Don't let her ruin tonight, too.
00:09:33Joy's lying.
00:09:35Nick said yes.
00:09:37He wasn't forced to marry me.
00:09:40He's out there waiting for me to come out there and make love to him all night long.
00:09:48Can't come.
00:09:51Get it, Claudia.
00:09:53Get.
00:09:54Get it.
00:09:55Get it, Claudia.
00:09:56Get it!
00:10:04Nick!
00:10:13Nick?
00:10:14Nick?
00:10:18Nick, it's our wedding night, don't you wanna...
00:10:23What kind of man falls asleep on his wedding night?
00:10:27A man who's unattracted to his wife, that's who...
00:10:31Oh no...
00:10:41I can't, Claudia. Not yet. I'm sorry.
00:10:51Oh, where are you going?
00:10:54I actually have a big Mrs. Brunch with some potential investors.
00:10:58Oh, I see. Um, I'll be ready to go and just...
00:11:01So, uh, no, I, uh, so these investors, they don't particularly know that our companies are emerging, so I think
00:11:11this one might be better if I just take it along.
00:11:13My father left the business for me to manage, and we're going to do that together.
00:11:19So we should show that we can do that.
00:11:22That we are a strong couple, and business, and love.
00:11:27Mm-hmm. Strong couple.
00:11:29Meh.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:43Look, just please be polite, and let me do all the talking. We have a lot of investments to secure.
00:11:49And do not dump any champagne onto somebody's head.
00:11:52It was one time.
00:12:01Oh, look who he is. Here he is, boys.
00:12:04Hello, hello, everyone. I apologize profusely for my tardiness, but it looks like you guys got started, ordered some food.
00:12:11That's great. Dave, I heard you had an amazing Q1. I'd love to enter into the sector that you guys
00:12:17were talking about.
00:12:18Hi. I'm Claudia, Nick's wife and partner in managing the business.
00:12:25Oh, yeah. Claudia, I've heard a lot about you. You're a pretty big deal.
00:12:31You're the heiress that forced Nick kicking and screaming to marry for the merger.
00:12:35Yeah, right.
00:12:39No, just wait a minute, Dave. I don't really care how much money you have.
00:12:44I don't need you to disrespect my wife like that, and I demand you to give her an apology.
00:12:52Yeah? Or else what?
00:12:54Come on, Sterling, you're just a pretender.
00:12:56Without the merger with you and this whale's family, you wouldn't even be invited to this table.
00:13:01So why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys?
00:13:05Pretender, huh? That's rich. Coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee.
00:13:11Hey, I know who you are, Dave, and I know your company's financial situation.
00:13:20What I don't know is what you're doing at this table considering you don't have a dollar left to invest.
00:13:32You had to take out a loan last month for payroll.
00:13:39I'd stay quiet.
00:13:46I'm taking this.
00:13:54It's for the best that he left anyway. He'd skipped out on the bill.
00:14:00Claudia, we talked about keeping a low profile and you're making us a little bit.
00:14:03I don't know where my knee is.
00:14:17I know where my knee is
00:14:32You're welcome.
00:14:33this whole deal. Claudia.
00:14:38All right, gentlemen and ladies, now that we're all here, except for Dave, of course,
00:14:45I want to speak about the state of the economy right now. We know it's in a depression,
00:14:49and that's why I think foreign assets is the thing we need to invest in.
00:14:54Before we go on a tangent about foreign companies,
00:14:57uh, we shouldn't write off local businesses so quickly. My company and Nick's are about to go
00:15:05through a massive merger, and when that happens, our stock prices are about to go through the roof.
00:15:12The time to invest is now, before it's too late.
00:15:18I never got pitched by a talking cake before.
00:15:22Oh, if anything is going to explode, it's her.
00:15:30Claudia, sit down and stop talking.
00:15:33And then yourself up, for God's sakes.
00:15:53Good thing she left. I'm not interested in investing in a company
00:15:57run by someone like that.
00:15:59Then don't invest.
00:16:01In fact, none of you should invest, because I don't want to
00:16:06affiliate with any of you small-minded fools.
00:16:17Roy, it's me.
00:16:19Can you come pick me up, please?
00:16:21Oh my God, honey.
00:16:23Yes, stay calm. I'll be right there.
00:16:32Claudia.
00:16:35What do you want?
00:16:36I just want to talk to you really quick.
00:16:38About what?
00:16:40Just calm down.
00:16:41I will not calm down, and there is nothing to talk about.
00:16:47You're ashamed of me.
00:16:49You're embarrassed by me.
00:16:52And you'd have already given up on this whole marriage if it wasn't for your precious merger, right?
00:16:59Right?
00:16:59Yes, yes, okay.
00:17:01You embarrass me, all right?
00:17:03You can't just stand up in front of a bunch of business sharks with lemon meringue pie smear all over
00:17:07your face.
00:17:08Who's going to listen to you?
00:17:09Who's going to take you seriously when you look like a fucking...
00:17:14Like what, Nick?
00:17:17Like what, Nick?
00:17:32Is that all you see in me?
00:17:41You know, you wouldn't be the first.
00:17:44That's what anybody sees when they look at me.
00:17:49But you want to know what really breaks my heart?
00:17:53Is that you will never get a chance to realize that I am so much more than that.
00:18:07Goodbye, Nick.
00:18:08Goodbye? What?
00:18:10Hey, Claudia, just...
00:18:13Claudia, please.
00:18:16Claudia, wait.
00:18:17Please just give me one second.
00:18:19Claudia, please.
00:18:24Claudia, wait.
00:18:25What are you doing?
00:18:28Claudia.
00:18:29Go.
00:18:30You're really just going to leave?
00:18:38Oh my god, girl.
00:18:40What happened to you?
00:18:40Nick really didn't want me.
00:18:45He thought he was marrying the thin and beautiful of Richardson Dodden.
00:18:52Not the fat and disgusting one.
00:18:55Not me.
00:18:57You just knock it right off with that nonsense.
00:19:01No, boy.
00:19:02No, I can't.
00:19:04He doesn't want me.
00:19:07I don't know what to do now.
00:19:10You don't need to do anything.
00:19:13You are perfect and a beautiful queen, okay?
00:19:19And if stupid Nick doesn't recognize that, it's his problem.
00:19:25You hear me?
00:19:29Earth to Claudia.
00:19:31I refuse to feel like this anymore.
00:19:35There we go.
00:19:36Yes.
00:19:38You just need to be yourself, okay?
00:19:41So you got some extra weight.
00:19:43Time to throw it around.
00:19:44That's not what I mean.
00:19:47For years, I have barely left the house.
00:19:51The looks.
00:19:52The put downs.
00:19:54It was all too painful.
00:19:56I had hoped that Nick would see beyond the outside and love me for who I am.
00:20:05But how could he?
00:20:07I'm a whale.
00:20:10Why couldn't I have been born with Joy's perfect genetics?
00:20:13A. Joy's a bitch, so she's far from perfect girl.
00:20:18But B. How can he love you as you are when you don't love you as you are?
00:20:28Hey, do you remember that guy you dated?
00:20:31The one who went to the health center?
00:20:34Of course.
00:20:35He came back a different person, Abs, to die for.
00:20:38I want the address.
00:20:40Of the wellness estate?
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:43What are you planning?
00:20:46I am so sick of not loving what I see in the mirror.
00:20:50But I am even more sick of what others see.
00:20:56Fat and nothing else.
00:21:00I refuse to be humiliated anymore.
00:21:04I'm going to take my life into my own hands
00:21:09and make everyone who ever laughed at me regret it.
00:21:13I can do this.
00:21:15And when I get back...
00:21:20Nick will beg to be with me.
00:21:35It's time for a change.
00:21:44Oh, God.
00:21:46I can't do this.
00:21:53Oh, my God.
00:21:58Nick, it's our wedding night.
00:22:01Don't you wanna...
00:22:06No, I can do this.
00:22:09From today on, old Claudia is dead.
00:22:23You're strong.
00:22:25You can do this.
00:22:27You can do this.
00:22:30But still, she said I do.
00:22:33Every look, every word cut deeper than it hurt.
00:22:36She was drowning in the noise, but silence made her worse.
00:22:41Now she's back like a wildfire, dancing on the same old scars.
00:22:47Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
00:22:49Yeah, she burned who she was before.
00:22:52I love her.
00:22:58I choose me. I can do it.
00:23:26Claudia? Is that you?
00:23:36I need to talk to you about the meeting with Gilder Brothers.
00:23:39Gilder Brothers, that sounds fine.
00:23:43Okay, Nick. Snap out of it.
00:23:46You need to pull yourself together and act like a goddamn CEO.
00:23:49No.
00:23:50Look, I should have just listened to Claudia.
00:23:53She was right about everything, Joy.
00:23:56Everything that she said at that stupid brunch, it all came true.
00:24:00The trend is to invest into local companies with strong mergers.
00:24:04She saw that months ahead of any of us.
00:24:06And I had to be stupid and drive her away and ruin everything.
00:24:10And she was the best thing that happened to this company.
00:24:13She was.
00:24:38What's done is done.
00:24:41You have a business to run.
00:24:43And I am here as your partner to make sure that that happens.
00:24:47So man up and let go of your fat ex could have been wife already.
00:24:51How can you speak about her like that?
00:24:53She's your sister.
00:24:54And how can I function knowing that I drove my wife away and I don't even know where she's been
00:24:59for the last three months?
00:25:00Nick?
00:25:01What?
00:25:02Accept it.
00:25:04There is no more Claudia.
00:25:06She disappeared, ran away.
00:25:07She is not coming back.
00:25:12I'm here.
00:25:17I'm here.
00:25:24Who is that?
00:25:26Wow.
00:25:36I know those eyes.
00:25:44Um, okay.
00:25:46You're here.
00:25:47But I don't think you should be.
00:25:49I think you're mistaken about the offices.
00:25:51No.
00:25:52I'm not mistaken.
00:25:56I heard this rumor while I was away that you were trying to destroy the company that our father gave
00:26:02to me.
00:26:02So I'm here to save it.
00:26:07Claudia?
00:26:08Claudia?
00:26:10Oh, right.
00:26:12This is Claudia.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14Maybe one third of her.
00:26:16I don't know who you are or how you got past security, but this is a board meeting and only
00:26:21authorized officers are allowed to participate.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:24I know that.
00:26:25Because I'm the legal heir and the majority owner of this company.
00:26:29So I am more than authorized to be here and be present for the board meeting.
00:26:35Legal heir?
00:26:37Oh, nice try.
00:26:39But this is my family's company.
00:26:42And I think I would know a relative if she were standing right in front of me.
00:26:46Now enough is enough.
00:26:46You should leave before I have security drag you out.
00:26:50What's going on here?
00:26:52Have I really changed so much that even my sister doesn't recognize me?
00:26:57I wonder if Nick recognizes me.
00:27:00Something about her feels familiar.
00:27:02Is it her?
00:27:07Security.
00:27:08Hi, yes.
00:27:09There's an intruder in the conference room.
00:27:11Can you please come and remove her?
00:27:13No need, Carl.
00:27:15I told you there might be drama.
00:27:17Sorry, Mrs. Richardson.
00:27:19Miss Richardson.
00:27:22See?
00:27:23Security will not be kicking me out of the conference room of the business that my dad built and gave
00:27:29to me.
00:27:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:34I am Claudia.
00:27:39Oh, that's it.
00:27:40This woman is a lying imposter.
00:27:42Nick, you're the boss for God's sake.
00:27:44Do something.
00:27:46Okay.
00:27:48If you're my wife, then where's our wedding ring?
00:27:55Wow.
00:27:55They really don't recognize me, Nick.
00:28:00You know that our marriage was over before it even started.
00:28:06Remember?
00:28:07You never once looked at me like I was your wife.
00:28:09So why would I wear your ring?
00:28:14I don't understand.
00:28:15Is this really you, Claudia?
00:28:25Yes.
00:28:26It's really me.
00:28:29She has the ring.
00:28:31Maybe it really is her.
00:28:33But you know what?
00:28:35It fits just right now.
00:28:45Claudia, I was looking for you this entire time and I'm so sorry.
00:28:50I was worried about you.
00:28:53I really am so sorry.
00:28:57Nick, don't fall for this scam.
00:29:00Do you not think I wouldn't recognize my own sister?
00:29:04This is not Claudia.
00:29:09This is not Claudia.
00:29:12I mean, we all remember what Claudia looked like.
00:29:15She was huge, fat, a whale.
00:29:19There is no chance that this woman is Claudia.
00:29:23Claudia, I swear that I looked for you everywhere ever since you left.
00:29:30Claudia, wait.
00:29:31You're really just gonna leave.
00:29:34It has been months.
00:29:35How is it even possible that no one's found her?
00:29:38Do your job and find her.
00:29:42It really is you.
00:29:45You are so beautiful.
00:29:47This is all I wanted.
00:29:49For him to look at me like this.
00:29:52Finally.
00:29:53But it's too late.
00:29:55I will never forgive him for how he made me feel.
00:29:58Thanks.
00:30:01But I don't need this anymore.
00:30:12Oh, it's clear now.
00:30:15Claudia is so ashamed of her weight that she hired some actress to impersonate her.
00:30:22It's pathetic, but it makes sense.
00:30:25You know what's pathetic, Joy?
00:30:28Is you preferring to believe that your own sister would do something so insane instead of believing that I had
00:30:36the willpower and the drive to make a positive change?
00:30:39Please.
00:30:40The only thing Claudia could ever summon the willpower and drive to do was close down a buffet.
00:30:47She couldn't keep her fat mouth shut.
00:30:50Maybe that's something you two have in common.
00:30:53I'm warning you.
00:30:54Joy.
00:30:56You don't get to shit talk me anymore.
00:30:59The days of you speaking to me like this are over.
00:31:02Maybe this is really Claudia standing in front of me.
00:31:05No way.
00:31:07Nick, throw her out.
00:31:12Claudia.
00:31:13Where did you go?
00:31:15Where did you go?
00:31:15Enough with the circuses!
00:31:16Throw the bitch out!
00:31:18Claudia?
00:31:19Is that you?
00:31:22Claudia?
00:31:24Is that you?
00:31:26Claudia.
00:31:27Claudia.
00:31:27I was worried sick!
00:31:30Finally!
00:31:30Where have you been this whole time?
00:31:32I had to take control of my life, Dad.
00:31:34And I'm sorry.
00:31:35I didn't mean to worry you.
00:31:37Why are you so thin?
00:31:39What happened?
00:31:40Where are these two sweet roles that I love so much?
00:31:44Only you love them, Dad.
00:31:46Dad, don't embarrass yourself.
00:31:48This is not the real Claudia.
00:31:50This is some imposter actress that she is.
00:31:52Please!
00:31:54Nonsense.
00:31:54Of course, this is Claudia.
00:31:56You think a father would know his own daughter?
00:31:59And here you are, trying to throw her out of her own office?
00:32:02No, there's...
00:32:03There's no chance that...
00:32:05Shush.
00:32:07Nick?
00:32:09Now you have by your side the most brilliant
00:32:12and smart woman that I have ever known.
00:32:15I hope you keep to your promise,
00:32:16and you run this company with her.
00:32:22Yes.
00:32:23I promise, now that Claudia is back,
00:32:26that together, as partners,
00:32:29we can build this company up to an empire.
00:32:32So, Claudia,
00:32:35what do you say, partners?
00:32:42Why, whenever he looks at me, does my heart skip a beat?
00:32:46No.
00:32:47No, stop it, Claudia.
00:32:49This is not part of the plan.
00:32:51Get a grip.
00:32:54Ahem.
00:32:58Ahem.
00:33:04Ahem.
00:33:07Ahem.
00:33:08So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:12Fantastic.
00:33:13Then let's get to work, because we have a lot of work to do.
00:33:18You mentioned something about a board meeting?
00:33:20Yes, I did.
00:33:21If everyone wants to turn to page three in their portfolios, we can get started.
00:33:29It's just like the data indicates.
00:33:31Right now, the market is looking for reliability and stability.
00:33:36So, if we can convince them that our company is the solid rock in the middle of a stormy sea,
00:33:41then we can recruit the correct investors.
00:33:45Let's do it.
00:33:57Hey, great job running the meeting earlier.
00:33:59Your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp, attentive...
00:34:03I don't have time for flattery.
00:34:05I have to go.
00:34:06Uh, go where exactly?
00:34:11Well, I am your husband and we do live together, did you forget?
00:34:17Come on, Nick.
00:34:20Did you really think I was going to live in the same house as you?
00:34:23Well, yes, because we are married.
00:34:26Aren't we?
00:34:26On paper, yes.
00:34:29I am your wife for the good of the company and its success.
00:34:37But we're not a real couple.
00:34:39You only married me for the merger.
00:34:42Let's not rewrite history.
00:34:44No, no, no, hey, that's not how I saw the marriage.
00:34:46Oh, really?
00:34:48So you don't remember ditching me the night of our wedding or the morning after?
00:34:53You look like you swallowed poison.
00:34:55Claudia, I...
00:34:56You were ashamed of me.
00:34:58Embarrassed.
00:34:58I remember everything.
00:35:03Okay, yes.
00:35:04Maybe I was, but...
00:35:07You ready to go home?
00:35:11Oh, so that's how it is.
00:35:14While I was gone, we became a couple.
00:35:16Just like he wanted.
00:35:18And now he's just trying to play the field.
00:35:22Typical pig.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31Hey, don't get worked up over Claudia.
00:35:33I mean, she's just being dramatic.
00:35:35Look, I need you to find your own ride.
00:35:37I need some quiet.
00:35:40Claudia's back.
00:35:41That's not good.
00:35:42I have to act before I completely lose the chance to make Nick mine.
00:36:07Oh, my God, bro, you should have seen it.
00:36:08I mean, they didn't even recognize me.
00:36:10I mean, except, like, my dad, of course.
00:36:13I mean, you do look like a whole new person.
00:36:14You can't blame them.
00:36:16And?
00:36:16How about your hot stud of a husband, huh?
00:36:19What did he think?
00:36:20Nick?
00:36:21Uh-huh.
00:36:23Nick looked at me like I always dreamt he would.
00:36:27I mean, he couldn't even take his eyes off me.
00:36:29I bet.
00:36:30Look at you.
00:36:32You know, no one's ever looked at me like...
00:36:36Like a woman?
00:36:39Like an attractive, worthy woman.
00:36:43Hell yeah.
00:36:44Get it.
00:36:47No, no, no, no.
00:36:49We are not getting too excited, okay?
00:36:51Because I know exactly who Nick is.
00:36:54And it's, like, exactly how I thought it was.
00:36:56He's with Joy now, right?
00:36:58And next time I see him, I'm gonna tell him exactly how much I hate him.
00:37:05How does that feel?
00:37:06So good.
00:37:11Some guy touching my wife?
00:37:13Has she already found someone else?
00:37:15Wait, that's the guy who picked her up when she left me?
00:37:18Has she been with him this whole time?
00:37:20Why don't you keep playing here, Claudia?
00:37:28Is Claudia in there?
00:37:30Um, well, she...
00:37:31I better not find her naked, buddy.
00:37:33I kinda doubt that.
00:37:35Wait, not really?
00:37:37What the hell?
00:37:44Claudia.
00:37:45There you are.
00:37:46What is going on here?
00:37:48You...
00:37:49I don't owe you an exclamation.
00:37:51And by what right are you following me?
00:37:53By the right that we are married.
00:37:55Okay, you've disappeared for three months.
00:37:57You show up at this man's house.
00:37:58What kind of behavior is that?
00:38:00Is it possible he's actually jealous?
00:38:04Listen, I can explain.
00:38:06And you!
00:38:07How dare you seduce another man's woman!
00:38:09I'm gonna teach you a frickin' lesson!
00:38:11I'm gonna teach you a frickin' lesson!
00:38:17Oh my god, what is wrong with you?
00:38:18Do not hurt Roy!
00:38:19I'm not gonna let my wife's lover just walk out without a fuckin' fuck!
00:38:22Enough!
00:38:23Enough.
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:32Roy...
00:38:33is not my lover.
00:38:35Roy...
00:38:36is letting me stay here because he is a very, very good friend.
00:38:39Oh, sure.
00:38:40The friend that she tells you not to worry about.
00:38:42Is that it?
00:38:43Okay.
00:38:44You know what?
00:38:45Even if she was my lover,
00:38:47it would be none of your business because we are married on paper,
00:38:51and I owe you nothing.
00:38:53How do you expect me to believe that this,
00:38:56this, this handsome man over here is just giving you a massage
00:38:59and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you can tell, she's not exactly my type.
00:39:03And as for you,
00:39:05while I'm flattered you think I'm handsome,
00:39:07I'm spoken for.
00:39:09Pablo is the jealous type.
00:39:14Pablo...
00:39:16Jesus, um...
00:39:19Look, I'm...
00:39:19I'm sorry, okay?
00:39:21I...
00:39:21I didn't know.
00:39:24It's okay.
00:39:25But look, look, you have to understand me, okay?
00:39:28Look, she was gone and disappeared for months.
00:39:31You had me worried.
00:39:33You show up to the office.
00:39:34You don't say a word to me.
00:39:35And you just show up at this man's house.
00:39:37And so...
00:39:39Claudia, would...
00:39:41Would you just come...
00:39:42Come back home with me, please?
00:39:46Why does he want me back so badly?
00:39:49Look, think about how this looks, okay?
00:39:51We are married.
00:39:53And you can't be staying over at another man's house.
00:39:55That just screams crisis.
00:39:58All right?
00:39:58And you were the one who said that we needed stability, right?
00:40:02And your father trusts you.
00:40:04Of course.
00:40:05He cares about the company, not me.
00:40:08What was I thinking?
00:40:10So?
00:40:12What do you say?
00:40:13You said that you were coming back...
00:40:15To build an empire.
00:40:17He's right.
00:40:18If the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable,
00:40:22Investors will panic.
00:40:31Fine.
00:40:33But we sleep in separate rooms.
00:40:35We are business partners.
00:40:37That's it.
00:40:40Yes.
00:40:41Yes, that's fine.
00:40:43Just as long as you come back home with me.
00:41:23Why is my heart beating like this?
00:41:26For once.
00:41:27She's giving me a genuine smile.
00:41:29She likes when I hold her.
00:41:31No.
00:41:32I must not fall into his trap.
00:41:40Um, what are you doing creeping around at night?
00:41:44Because it is my house and I'm hungry.
00:41:47Are you hungry too? I can maybe...
00:41:49No, I don't eat at night.
00:41:51Oh, well that's a shame because I have a whole refrigerator full of some pretty amazing leftovers.
00:41:57Maybe we can have a decadent midnight meal.
00:42:00I have lasagna from Roberto's or I think I even have some pad thai in there.
00:42:05Um, eating at night is not healthy and you shouldn't do it either.
00:42:12I just wanted to get some water, that's all.
00:42:16Um, and we have the investor conference tomorrow and I know it's only one day but I do need to
00:42:22pack.
00:42:27She drives me crazy.
00:42:30What am I supposed to do?
00:42:35I think it's this way.
00:42:38You know, I feel like we should be sharing a room.
00:42:42Two rooms just looks a little strange, don't you think?
00:42:45Nobody's gonna know.
00:42:46Mm-hmm.
00:42:46Um, and I am not sharing a room with you.
00:42:51Oh, that is Noah Hart.
00:42:53He is, uh, CEO of EPS.
00:42:55He's the biggest investor here.
00:42:57Nick Sterling.
00:42:58Yes, good to see you.
00:42:58Good to see you again.
00:43:01And who might this stunning woman be?
00:43:03Oh, this stunning and beautiful woman is my, is my wife and we run the company together.
00:43:10Wow, that's a rare deal.
00:43:12Difficult to navigate, I imagine.
00:43:14Well, only when there's not trust.
00:43:16But with the love and friendship and respect that we have for each other, it's effortless.
00:43:27A couple united at the top is unstoppable.
00:43:31I agree.
00:43:33That sounds impressive.
00:43:35How about three of us get together for a meeting sometime?
00:43:38Perfect.
00:43:39Yes, our office will contact you.
00:43:43Wow.
00:43:44That was amazing.
00:43:46I mean, did you mean any of that?
00:43:50No, no, of course not.
00:43:52I'm just saying what I need to so that our company can have success.
00:43:58Right.
00:44:02Are you coming or what?
00:44:05Yeah, let's, let's go.
00:44:09Here we are to celebrate.
00:44:13Okay, who else do we need to talk to here?
00:44:15Did you see how Noah Hart reacted to us?
00:44:18If we can get an investor like that to invest in us, everything's set.
00:44:23You know, we're pretty powerful when we work together.
00:44:25Sky is the limit.
00:44:26Yes, we will meet with him soon and then we can end this performance.
00:44:31Performance?
00:44:33Claudia, what are you talking about?
00:44:34This doesn't have to be fake.
00:44:36We can actually be friends.
00:44:39We, we can still be friends, right?
00:44:43I mean, you don't have to keep acting like you hate me so much.
00:44:46Look, I don't hate you.
00:44:50But I do remember everything.
00:44:53How ashamed you were of me and how small you made me feel.
00:44:57And I can't forget that.
00:45:00I will never forgive you for that.
00:45:08We're here to do business.
00:45:10We're never going to be friends.
00:45:12If you could just give me one second.
00:45:16Okay.
00:45:20Okay.
00:45:25Okay.
00:45:28Okay.
00:45:29Okay.
00:45:32Okay.
00:45:35I think I saw Wyatt Moore.
00:45:37We should go talk to him.
00:45:38Look, I'm not in the mood for business right now.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:41Trouble in paradise, huh?
00:45:46Come.
00:45:48I know what you need.
00:45:53Wow.
00:45:56Joy, I just, I just don't understand.
00:45:59I mean, why is Claudia being so cold to me?
00:46:03I know.
00:46:04I know, baby.
00:46:05And I mean, I don't get it.
00:46:07I, look, I guess I deserve it a little bit, but don't I deserve another chance?
00:46:12I mean, we are married.
00:46:13Doesn't that count for something?
00:46:14Yes.
00:46:16And it's really sad.
00:46:18She doesn't appreciate you and she never will.
00:46:23Right.
00:46:24I mean, maybe you're right.
00:46:26I don't know.
00:46:28You know, maybe it was never meant to be.
00:46:32Maybe you married the wrong sister.
00:46:36Come on.
00:46:37Let's go to your room.
00:46:39No one has to know.
00:46:47Wait.
00:46:48No.
00:46:48No, no.
00:46:49What are you doing, Joy?
00:46:50I'm married.
00:46:51To a woman who doesn't want you.
00:46:53But I, on the other hand, I would appreciate you.
00:46:57I would take care of you.
00:46:59No, no, no.
00:47:00I would never cheat on Claudia.
00:47:02I'm going to go and I'm going to find her.
00:47:04I'm going to bring her back to me.
00:47:09We are projecting aggressive growth this year.
00:47:12In your current expansion timeline?
00:47:14Our goal is about three to four months to start some significant improvement.
00:47:17Claudia, I need to talk to you right now.
00:47:19Nick, I am in the middle of a really great conversation.
00:47:23Yeah, yeah.
00:47:23I just said I need to talk to you right, right, right now.
00:47:25Can you just clue?
00:47:28Have you been drinking?
00:47:31A little bit.
00:47:32Wait a minute.
00:47:33Isn't this your CEO?
00:47:37Is he drunk?
00:47:40That's how you guys run things?
00:47:44That's how you guys run things?
00:47:46No, no, absolutely not.
00:47:48I'm so sorry.
00:47:50Professional.
00:47:51One second.
00:47:52My God.
00:47:53What is wrong with you?
00:47:54You smell like a bar.
00:47:55I don't care about any of these investors, okay?
00:47:58You should because right now we are here trying to find investors and you are actively destroying
00:48:01any chance we have of doing that.
00:48:03How do you expect me to talk to any of these investors when my own wife won't even talk
00:48:07to me?
00:48:08Oh my God.
00:48:09Please, for the love of God, don't do this right now.
00:48:11What?
00:48:12Well, then when?
00:48:13I want to do it right now because you are just constantly avoiding me.
00:48:17Okay, you want to do it right now?
00:48:18Go.
00:48:19Our wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life and instead it was the loneliest.
00:48:25And all the humiliation and the mockery, yeah, that really hurt.
00:48:29But the thing that hurt the worst was the sheer luck of disappointment that I got from
00:48:33you.
00:48:34You know I never meant to hurt you.
00:48:37Then what did you mean?
00:48:39Look, I was excited, okay?
00:48:41And I guess I just got surprised because I was expecting something else.
00:48:46I don't know.
00:48:46My sister, right?
00:48:50The beautiful one.
00:48:52The thin one.
00:48:54And instead, you went home with the fat, pathetic one.
00:48:58Claudia, stop.
00:48:58No, I'm not going to stop.
00:49:00I will not stop, Nick, because I can't even blame you.
00:49:04But I can't forgive you.
00:49:07You can't forgive me?
00:49:08I mean, I feel like I deserve a second chance.
00:49:13Okay?
00:49:13And look, I know I mishandled the whole wedding, but it was bad for me too.
00:49:19And to be honest, I am just less attracted to larger women.
00:49:23And look, maybe that is unfair to say, but it is at least the truth.
00:49:27And let me point out something else.
00:49:30You were the one that ran away.
00:49:33Not me.
00:49:35I stayed for us.
00:49:38Regardless of all that, you left me.
00:49:46And we could be great together.
00:49:51We could be a true power couple.
00:49:53Look, and I have thought of you every day since you left.
00:49:56And not because of all this.
00:50:00Before all that, I was thinking about your strength.
00:50:04I was thinking about your mind.
00:50:05I was thinking about your heart.
00:50:08And to be completely honest, now I am just insanely attracted to you.
00:50:16So, tell me you don't feel anything.
00:50:22That's not true.
00:50:25Well, then say it.
00:50:26Okay, I'm attracted to you.
00:50:29I am, but I...
00:50:35You are so perfect, Claudia.
00:50:39You're so beautiful.
00:50:40You're sharper.
00:50:42You're smarter than I am.
00:50:44And you're just truly incredible.
00:50:48How long I waited to hear words like that from a man like him.
00:50:56No, we cannot do this right now.
00:51:00I need you to pull yourself together because we have a really incredible opportunity here
00:51:05and we cannot squander it.
00:51:07Come on, Nick.
00:51:09Oh, my God.
00:51:10I just...
00:51:10You are such a disaster.
00:51:12I know.
00:51:12You're taking me to your room before you run us out of business.
00:51:15Let's get out of here, I think, then.
00:51:20I think I'm fine.
00:51:23Mm-hmm.
00:51:25Just...
00:51:26Okay.
00:51:28Do you think you can get yourself into bed or do you need help with that, too?
00:51:32Yeah, I think so.
00:51:34Okay.
00:51:35Mm-hmm.
00:51:38Hey.
00:51:40What are you doing?
00:51:44Something I should have done on our wedding night.
00:51:55You're drunk.
00:51:56I may be drunk, but I know exactly what I'm doing.
00:52:01And I'm doing what I want...
00:52:04What I wanted since you came back.
00:52:06No.
00:52:07Please don't do this to me.
00:52:11No.
00:52:14No.
00:52:17No.
00:52:28No.
00:52:30No.
00:52:32No.
00:52:33No.
00:52:35No.
00:52:48What?
00:53:06Oh yeah, slow drip, every kiss, slurry breath.
00:53:11You're the habit that my body can't forget.
00:53:15Tangled in your hands, dancing in your hands.
00:53:28Tonight was amazing.
00:53:31Maybe I should give him another chance after all.
00:53:33Or was this a terrible mistake?
00:54:10I'm coming.
00:54:12Oh my God.
00:54:14What the fuck?
00:54:18I'm coming.
00:54:25Morning, Nikki.
00:54:26Uh-huh.
00:54:41Claudia's hairpin.
00:54:42She was here, with him last night.
00:54:45What time is it?
00:54:48What even happened yesterday?
00:54:50How did I get into this room?
00:54:53What the hell?
00:54:53He doesn't remember.
00:54:55He doesn't remember being with Claudia.
00:54:59What do you mean, Nikki, that you don't remember what happened last night?
00:55:04What we did.
00:55:12What do you mean?
00:55:15Oh, how could you forget a night like that?
00:55:18Honestly, I'm impressed.
00:55:20Wait, wait.
00:55:22Are you saying that something happened between us?
00:55:26Something.
00:55:28Everything happened, ugh, last night was so amazing, unimaginable.
00:55:33You were unforgettable.
00:55:36I woke up early this morning, thought I'd surprise you with breakfast.
00:55:41I mean, after all that effort you put in last night, you earned it.
00:55:46Oh, my hairpin.
00:55:49We were so wild last night.
00:55:51Must have just fallen off.
00:55:53Look, look, I don't know what happened last night, but nobody can hear any of this.
00:55:59Why would we hide anything?
00:56:01I'm serious.
00:56:03Look, what do you want?
00:56:06I don't want anything other than to be with you.
00:56:10What are you talking about?
00:56:11I'm married to your sister.
00:56:13I know.
00:56:14Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No, look, just say whatever you want and just leave now.
00:56:23Fine.
00:56:24I want to be VP of the company.
00:56:26This way, I stay close to you.
00:56:29I hate this, but I'm trapped.
00:56:33Fine.
00:56:35This is how it will be.
00:56:38Now get out of my room.
00:57:04Good morning.
00:57:08Nick, did you sleep well?
00:57:11Uh, yes.
00:57:12I went to bed early.
00:57:14How long did you end up staying at the convention?
00:57:16Why is he acting like this?
00:57:19Does he not remember what happened last night?
00:57:23Good morning.
00:57:26What are you doing here?
00:57:28Oh, Nick didn't tell you the good news?
00:57:31He promoted me senior VP.
00:57:34I'll be at all the executive meetings now.
00:57:36Is that true?
00:57:39Uh, yes.
00:57:40I thought that it would be best for the company if the family was united.
00:57:50That's my hairpin she's wearing.
00:57:52What is going on here?
00:57:58Something's wrong.
00:57:59Was Joy in his room after I left?
00:58:02Oh my god, did something happen between them?
00:58:07Excuse me, I need to make a really important phone call.
00:58:15What have I done?
00:58:17I slept with her sister and ruined everything.
00:58:23Hello?
00:58:25Nick, Mr. Hart of EPS has arrived and is waiting for your meeting.
00:58:30Noah Hart is here?
00:58:33Fuck, I forgot that meeting.
00:58:34I need you to go get Claudia.
00:58:36Noah Hart is here.
00:58:37That's the biggest priority for this company right now.
00:58:39Great, just have them meet us in here.
00:58:42No, no, no, this is an investor meeting.
00:58:44This isn't a board meeting.
00:58:45It's just Claudia and I only, okay?
00:58:47We have an agreement.
00:58:48I am management now.
00:58:51This is non-negotiable.
00:58:53I need you to go get Claudia now.
00:59:00I can't believe that I let myself fall for him again.
00:59:03And he chooses Joy.
00:59:06I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:16What do you want?
00:59:18There's an investor here, Noah Hart.
00:59:20He's in the lobby.
00:59:21He says he'll wait for you there.
00:59:23Noah Hart is here?
00:59:24Mm-hmm.
00:59:31You're really gonna make it that easy for me?
00:59:33You're right.
00:59:34Idiot.
00:59:57Hello?
01:00:10Hey, can anybody hear me?
01:00:12Can anybody hear me?
01:00:14Help!
01:00:16Hey, can anybody hear me?
01:00:18I'm stuck in here, please.
01:00:26No, no, no, my husband, Hayler.
01:00:28I left it in the office.
01:00:33Please.
01:00:36Help, somebody, please help me, please.
01:00:40Oh.
01:00:56Nick, I was under the impression that your beautiful and brilliant wife would be joining us today.
01:01:02Absolutely.
01:01:04Would you like any more coffee?
01:01:06It's important to me that I do this with the both of you.
01:01:07I don't know.
01:01:08You understand?
01:01:10No, no, absolutely.
01:01:11I, uh, Claudia should be here any moment.
01:01:14I just...
01:01:16Oh, she's here, right?
01:01:20No, I came here to meet with you and your partner.
01:01:23You promised me the chaos in your company was over with.
01:01:25Look, Mr. Hart, you have nothing to worry about.
01:01:28I'm Joy Richardson.
01:01:29I'm senior VP and a partner of this company just like my sister.
01:01:33Is that true?
01:01:37Um...
01:01:43Hey, Claudia, where are you?
01:01:46Please help, help.
01:01:48Wait, what?
01:01:49Wait, where are you?
01:01:51Where are...
01:01:52Hold on, hold on.
01:01:52I'm coming.
01:01:53Don't worry.
01:01:54We're gonna help you.
01:01:54Help us on the way.
01:01:55Stay calm.
01:01:56Hey, hey, is Claudia in there?
01:01:59Claudia!
01:02:00You in there?
01:02:02Claudia!
01:02:02Claudia, can you hear me?
01:02:04I'm gonna get you out.
01:02:06Move.
01:02:08Please help.
01:02:09I'm coming in.
01:02:10I'm in here.
01:02:11I'm in a acid attic.
01:02:12Please help me.
01:02:14Claudia!
01:02:16Claudia, it's okay.
01:02:17I'm gonna get you out.
01:02:19Oh!
01:02:24Oh!
01:02:25No!
01:02:25No, no, no, no, no!
01:02:27Hey, hey, hey, Claudia.
01:02:29Come on, come on.
01:02:29I got you.
01:02:30Oh!
01:02:31Oh!
01:02:31Oh!
01:02:31Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:32Oh!
01:02:33Call the ambulance!
01:02:33Call somebody!
01:02:34You're okay.
01:02:35You're okay, Claudia.
01:02:36Let's go.
01:02:36Claudia.
01:02:37Claudia, you're gonna be fine.
01:02:42There you go.
01:02:43Just breathe.
01:02:45Are you feeling any better?
01:02:47Yeah.
01:02:49I'm just so tired.
01:02:51I'm gonna rest my eyes for a few moments.
01:02:54Of course, yeah.
01:02:55Just take as long as you need.
01:02:59I almost lost her.
01:03:00I don't know what I would've done.
01:03:03My God.
01:03:04I had no idea she was becoming this important to me.
01:03:22Wait.
01:03:23I can't believe it.
01:03:25Were you the one I was with last night?
01:03:27Or am I just imagining it?
01:03:31No, no, no.
01:03:32Just close your eyes and rest for now.
01:03:41Hey, Investor.
01:03:43Mr. Hart, is he still here?
01:03:44No, no, no.
01:03:45Claudia, it's okay.
01:03:46Don't worry about that.
01:03:47Just rest for now.
01:03:48Oh!
01:03:48No, we can't afford to lose this investment.
01:03:50No, it's fine.
01:03:51We'll worry about that later, okay?
01:03:54Later.
01:03:57Wait.
01:03:58Claudia, just...
01:03:58This woman.
01:04:00She may actually be crazy, but I'm crazy about her.
01:04:09Wait!
01:04:10Mr. Hart, wait.
01:04:11Please.
01:04:11Look.
01:04:12I'm so sorry that I missed our meeting.
01:04:14It was not on purpose.
01:04:16There was not...
01:04:16Stop right there.
01:04:19I've already made up my mind.
01:04:21Please.
01:04:22Just give me a chance.
01:04:23I...
01:04:24I'm investing in you.
01:04:27I read over your metrics on the way.
01:04:30But then after seeing the way Nick fought for you,
01:04:34I can only say that I'm confident in my investment.
01:04:39I'll have my team send over a contract.
01:04:44Congratulations.
01:04:53Did you hear that?
01:04:54He's gonna invest in us.
01:04:55We didn't!
01:05:10Claudia, why?
01:05:12I mean there's something definitely between us, right?
01:05:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:18I'm just happy we succeeded.
01:05:22It was her I was with last night.
01:05:24I know it was her.
01:05:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:28I need to ask you something.
01:05:29About the party last night.
01:05:31Look, I know that I was very drunk, yes, and...
01:05:34I don't remember anything, but I do remember...
01:05:38I remember your scent.
01:05:40And your hair.
01:05:42Tell me I'm not crazy.
01:05:44We were together last night, right?
01:05:46He doesn't remember.
01:05:48He doesn't remember.
01:05:48Not only that, he was with Joy right after.
01:05:52No matter how much weight I lost, he still chose her.
01:05:57Not only that, he was with Joy right after.
01:06:01No matter how much weight I lost, he still chose her.
01:06:08Nick was looking forward to the wedding because he was sure that he'd be marrying me.
01:06:16You must be imagining things.
01:06:20Maybe you were with someone else.
01:06:22So I really was with Joy.
01:06:24I really did betray my wife, and I'm really not worthy of her.
01:06:31Well, now we have our contract with Noah Hart, so I guess we can stop pretending, right?
01:06:38Yeah, if that's how you want to do things.
01:07:02You going somewhere?
01:07:04This couple arrangement is over.
01:07:07Arrangement?
01:07:08This is a relationship.
01:07:11Claudia.
01:07:13Look.
01:07:15I know that I hurt you, okay?
01:07:17And I know that I failed you, but I'm here now.
01:07:21And I want to try, and I can change.
01:07:24Can you?
01:07:26Because I don't trust you.
01:07:28It's like you want me, and then the next second that changes.
01:07:31I mean, Joy walks in the room, and then I no longer even exist.
01:07:36Just tell me this.
01:07:38What happens if I gain?
01:07:42If I get pregnant?
01:07:44If I embarrass you?
01:07:46If literally anything changes, then what?
01:07:49What, you just don't even want me anymore?
01:07:51I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:07:55I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:08:00Hey, hey, hey, look.
01:08:01I don't care about any of that.
01:08:03Look, you asked me if I would take you back, and the answer is yes.
01:08:08Because I finally got to know you, and you are the only person that I want.
01:08:13Look, Claudia.
01:08:15I love you.
01:08:18I love you.
01:08:19I do.
01:08:21No.
01:08:23I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
01:08:31Sign it.
01:08:32What is this?
01:08:40This is a divorce agreement.
01:08:55I can't believe I've gone back to Ben and Jerry's.
01:08:58Ooh.
01:08:59A threesome?
01:09:02Spicy.
01:09:04Seriously, you're allowed some comfort without guilt.
01:09:08I'm just so angry with myself.
01:09:10You know, I came back here to make everyone regret how they treated me, and I promised myself
01:09:15that I wasn't going to let anyone make me feel like I was unworthy ever again.
01:09:20Know what I think?
01:09:22You made all these changes, but you forgot the big one.
01:09:27Right here.
01:09:28What do you mean?
01:09:31You lost weight, you look incredible, you're strong, you're healthy, but you still don't
01:09:36love yourself enough.
01:09:38No, that's not true.
01:09:39I do.
01:09:40I love myself.
01:09:41No.
01:09:42Nick told you again and again and again how he wanted you.
01:09:46If you loved yourself fully, you would have believed him.
01:09:52He cheated on me with joy.
01:09:53No, you don't really know that.
01:09:56But you do really know that Joy is a liar and a manipulative, psycho bitch.
01:10:02So before you throw him away because you think he chose her, maybe at least try to check
01:10:08what actually happened?
01:10:19Hi, I'm calling, this is Claudia Richardson.
01:10:23I was the sponsor of the event two nights ago.
01:10:26Yes, something was stolen from my room.
01:10:29It was room 843.
01:10:33Mm-hmm.
01:10:36Yes, I would love to see the security footage.
01:10:50Okay, okay.
01:10:53Fast forward.
01:10:58Tia, I told you.
01:11:00You slept with her.
01:11:02Patience.
01:11:07Well, that's the fastest affair in history.
01:11:13I mean, she was only there for like five minutes.
01:11:16I mean, either he did cheat and he finishes way too fast, which in that case, girl good riddance.
01:11:21Or he was never with her and she lied.
01:11:24Bitch lied.
01:11:25I hate it.
01:11:37Uh, Claudia?
01:11:41Look, I haven't signed a divorce agreement yet, but I will. Don't worry about that.
01:11:47But is, is that why you came all the way out here?
01:11:56Claudia, what, what are you doing?
01:11:59You tried so many times to tell me how you felt.
01:12:02That you wanted me.
01:12:03That I couldn't believe you.
01:12:05I couldn't believe that you would love someone like me.
01:12:09How could anyone not love someone like you?
01:12:12Look, Claudia, I, I love you.
01:12:16And I am so mad at myself for ruining everything between us.
01:12:21You didn't ruin anything.
01:12:24I did.
01:12:25I, I'm still an insecure woman.
01:12:32And I didn't let you get close.
01:12:37Look, Claudia, I, um, I cheated on you.
01:12:45With joy.
01:12:48So, um.
01:12:54No, you didn't.
01:12:57You were with me that night.
01:13:01And it was perfect.
01:13:04Wait, so, so I wasn't with joy.
01:13:08So, so you and I?
01:13:14Claudia, I thought I destroyed everything.
01:13:17So what are you, what are you saying, Claudia?
01:13:21I'm saying that I'm willing to give you a chance.
01:13:25But I need time.
01:13:26I, I look different now, but I'm still me.
01:13:31And three months ago, I could barely leave the house.
01:13:35I was so insecure in my own skin.
01:13:37And I'm finally learning how to love myself.
01:13:42Look, you take all the time that you need.
01:13:45And I'm gonna be here.
01:13:48Always.
01:13:50Just don't hurt me again.
01:13:53Can I kiss you?
01:14:08If we shift the allocation, then we can accelerate the growth without any increased risk.
01:14:14Right.
01:14:17You know, every time you talk strategy, it drives me wild.
01:14:21Wait, what do you mean? Does it bother you?
01:14:24Bother me? No, no, no.
01:14:27It actually makes me feel kind of crazy.
01:14:34Really?
01:14:34Yeah, it's very strong.
01:14:37Bold.
01:14:40Empowering.
01:14:41It's just hard to resist.
01:14:51People are gonna walk in here in a second.
01:14:54And I don't even care.
01:15:03What the hell?
01:15:08What the hell?
01:15:14Didn't you get divorced?
01:15:16Well, that's what you wanted all along, isn't it, Troy?
01:15:19To drive a wedge between us?
01:15:22To destroy my confidence?
01:15:24Then why? You are so beautiful and determined.
01:15:30I mean, you could have any job, any man that you wanted, so why?
01:15:33Why do you need to take mine?
01:15:36Because it's yours, Claudia.
01:15:39Dad always preferred you.
01:15:41He always loved you more.
01:15:42Everything was always about you.
01:15:45I mean, you took up all the space in the house.
01:15:47And yes, that was a fat joke, too.
01:15:50Oh, and it was really funny.
01:15:51Hmm.
01:15:53You know what's funnier, though?
01:15:55I was always so jealous of you.
01:15:57And then I stopped comparing myself to you, and I realized that...
01:16:02I literally don't have anything to envy.
01:16:07Oh.
01:16:08You think you're better than me.
01:16:10Above me.
01:16:11Well, let's stop pretending.
01:16:12Because your wonderful man here cheated on you with me.
01:16:18Enough!
01:16:20Enough of your lies, okay?
01:16:21We know that you made up everything about that night.
01:16:24You sabotaged the elevator.
01:16:25You put her in harm's way.
01:16:26You could have hurt her.
01:16:27And that's unforgivable.
01:16:29Well, you have no evidence.
01:16:31We're not going to the cops.
01:16:33You're out.
01:16:34You're fired!
01:16:35You can't fire me.
01:16:38This is my father's company.
01:16:40And we are the CEOs.
01:16:42So, you're fired.
01:16:52You okay?
01:16:53Yeah.
01:17:01I can't believe they fired me!
01:17:03Oh, they're going to pay for this.
01:17:11Documents you requested, Mom?
01:17:21Soon, everything will be mine.
01:17:23Claudia?
01:17:24Nick?
01:17:25Both of you will pay.
01:17:29No!
01:17:52Well, well, well.
01:17:53You just shut down this entire room.
01:17:55Everything that you see here.
01:17:57The signing.
01:17:58This evening.
01:18:00The Noah Hart investment.
01:18:01It's all because of you.
01:18:02Your father would be proud, sweetie.
01:18:06That is very nice to hear.
01:18:09You contributed, too.
01:18:10A little.
01:18:13Have you seen my father?
01:18:14He needs to be here before the investor arrives.
01:18:17Uh, no.
01:18:17I haven't seen him yet.
01:18:18What?
01:18:19Huh.
01:18:20That's weird.
01:18:21It's not like him to be late for things like this.
01:18:23I hope nothing like that happened.
01:18:35Hello, Daddy.
01:18:37Joy?
01:18:38What are you doing here?
01:18:40I just thought we'd have a drink before the event tonight.
01:18:43Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, but you're still coming despite what happened with Claudia and Nick?
01:18:49Oh, Daddy.
01:18:50The company is what matters.
01:18:52And they're my family.
01:18:54I only want what's best for them.
01:18:56That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57I'm really proud of you.
01:18:59But, uh, you know how I hate being late.
01:19:01We have to go soon.
01:19:02Come on, Dad.
01:19:03Just one moment before Claudia soaks up all the attention.
01:19:08I know I'm not your favorite daughter, but I do work hard.
01:19:13Sweetheart, no.
01:19:15You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:17You know that.
01:19:19All right.
01:19:20Uh, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt, and then we go.
01:19:23Let's go.
01:19:51Sweetheart.
01:19:52Oh.
01:19:53Oh.
01:19:55To father-daughter time.
01:19:58To father-daughter time.
01:20:03Ow.
01:20:09I was, uh, I don't, I don't, uh, feel well.
01:20:14It's, uh...
01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I, I can't, uh, I can't see clearly.
01:20:26It's probably just a dizzy spell.
01:20:28Wait here and rest for a second.
01:20:30Soon, Claudia, you'll finally be out of my way.
01:20:34Whew.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting, we might as well be efficient and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork?
01:20:45What?
01:20:45What?
01:20:46Yeah.
01:20:46Uh, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:50Claudia asked for, well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:20:57I'm fine.
01:20:59I'm fine.
01:21:00I'm fine.
01:21:01I'm fine.
01:21:03I'm fine.
01:21:03I'm fine.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here, and he hates people being late, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no.
01:21:15Don't worry about it.
01:21:16Just relax.
01:21:17He'll be here any moment.
01:21:18No, I just, I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:22Okay, one second.
01:21:25Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house, make sure he's okay, check up on him,
01:21:29get here immediately.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia.
01:21:38Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine.
01:21:41I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43Help.
01:21:44Help.
01:21:45I, I don't feel well.
01:21:47You should have thought about that before choosing Claudia over me our whole lives.
01:21:53And now, you'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12Well, a little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:17Speaking of which, shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um, I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things.
01:22:28And trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life and he wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:22:41Well, it looks like he is.
01:22:46Hello?
01:22:48Mr. Richardson?
01:22:50You home?
01:22:58I don't mean to be disrespectful to your father, but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we gonna sign or what?
01:23:07Um, I think that your father would want us to go through with this and not lose this opportunity.
01:23:13You're right.
01:23:14You're right.
01:23:15We can begin.
01:23:17Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract that's gonna change your lives.
01:23:32Stop!
01:23:35Stop!
01:23:38Everybody stop.
01:23:40Claudia has no authority to sign.
01:23:42Your signature there means nothing.
01:23:45Dad signed a new agreement today.
01:23:47Claudia is out.
01:23:49I'm the new CEO.
01:23:51My company, I'm the one who signs.
01:23:54Nick, what's, what's going on?
01:23:57There's nothing to worry about, I assure you.
01:24:00Joy has no authority here.
01:24:02She was fired and now she is desperate for relevance.
01:24:05No.
01:24:06Then explain this.
01:24:09Forging your father's signature now?
01:24:11Pretty desperate, even for you.
01:24:14No, Nick, this is, this is real.
01:24:17This is dad's signature.
01:24:18Is it?
01:24:24Joy Richardson, CEO.
01:24:26Shall we continue?
01:24:28No, no, no.
01:24:28This doesn't make any sense, okay?
01:24:30Jack never trusted you with anything.
01:24:32Oh, on the contrary.
01:24:34My dad trusted me with his life.
01:24:37He told me I was the beloved daughter,
01:24:40not the one who disappeared for three months without telling him.
01:24:43So, smile, Nicky.
01:24:46You're finally free of Claudia.
01:24:48You can have me now.
01:24:50We can become the power couple we were always meant to be.
01:24:54Where is dad?
01:24:57Did you do something to him?
01:25:00Relax, dad is fine.
01:25:02He just finally woke up.
01:25:04And you need to wake up too.
01:25:06I know you didn't want to marry Claudia.
01:25:08You wanted to marry me.
01:25:10So now you can.
01:25:12Let's become the most gorgeous and strongest couple in the industry.
01:25:23Sign with me.
01:25:27Come on, Nicky.
01:25:28What are you waiting for?
01:25:29If you don't choose me, then my first act as CEO will be canceling this merger.
01:25:35No, no.
01:25:36You can't do that.
01:25:37Noah has signed with us already.
01:25:39Ooh, but he already signed.
01:25:41See?
01:25:42Now all it takes is my signature.
01:25:45Come on, Nicky.
01:25:49If you don't sign, then she's going to destroy everything.
01:25:52Life's worth it.
01:25:53No, no.
01:25:53You are my wife.
01:25:55The company matters, but you matter more.
01:25:57And I'm not going to lose you again.
01:25:58No matter what.
01:26:01Oh my God.
01:26:03Both of you are so stupid.
01:26:05But hey.
01:26:07Better luck next time, liver boy.
01:26:13Stop this immediately!
01:26:18Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:21She drugged me and forced me to sign this.
01:26:34Your jealousy has turned you into a monster.
01:26:39I'm ashamed of you.
01:26:41You're no longer my daughter.
01:26:43I can't forgive you for doing this.
01:26:46You're no longer my sister.
01:26:48Oh, boo-fucking-hoo!
01:26:49Since you're no longer family and you're not an employee,
01:26:54you're no longer here.
01:26:56Security!
01:27:01Wait, no, Claudia, what is this?
01:27:03You know, my instincts told me something bad happened to Dad.
01:27:06And I think that maybe you had something to do with it.
01:27:09And I believe her instincts, so that's why I called security just in case.
01:27:13You can't!
01:27:13You can't do this!
01:27:15You can!
01:27:15For attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh!
01:27:17You fat bitch!
01:27:18Don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:25Fat bitch.
01:27:25It is a long story.
01:27:28Yes.
01:27:30Right.
01:27:32Wow.
01:27:33If the family drama's over, shall we dare I say sign?
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:38Yes!
01:27:40Mmm!
01:27:49I do have one more thing to say.
01:27:52Claudia, I know that I ruined our wedding day, but you deserve nothing more than your dream wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:03You were born, you were born to be on display.
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes!
01:28:14Oh my God, yes, yes, yes!
01:28:20Partners?
01:28:22In every way possible.
01:28:25I love you!
01:28:26Whatever.
01:28:28Thank you!
01:28:33Thank you!
01:28:34We will be coming soon.
01:28:35Thank you!
01:28:37I'm your name!
01:28:37I'm your name!
01:28:38You
