00:00:13Hey.
00:00:15Ah, Nicky, my boy.
00:00:18Mr. Richardson.
00:00:20Call me Dad.
00:00:22Ah, Dad.
00:00:23You know, I can't tell you how happy I am that you decided to go through with this sight unseen.
00:00:29But I promise you, you won't regret it.
00:00:31My daughter is a brilliant woman.
00:00:33She's got an even better head for business than I do.
00:00:36I don't even know how that's even possible.
00:00:38No, no, it's true.
00:00:40And after this wedding, when our businesses merge, the sky will be the limit.
00:00:45Right.
00:00:45And I just want to thank you for your trust and for the match, Dad.
00:00:50Even though I would have loved to have met your daughter before the wedding day,
00:00:53I hear she's beautiful.
00:00:55I hear she's amazing and I'm really looking forward to it.
00:00:57She is.
00:00:58And I'll just tell you this.
00:01:01She's my favorite daughter.
00:01:04Oh, really?
00:01:05You're a very lucky man.
00:01:06Thank you, sir.
00:01:07All right.
00:01:08Take care, buddy.
00:01:10My God.
00:01:11He's so handsome.
00:01:12I can't believe I'm marrying him today.
00:01:15Congratulations, Nick.
00:01:18Marrying Jack Richardson's daughter, that's like winning the lottery.
00:01:20Wow, yeah, I think the same.
00:01:22Trust me.
00:01:22The moment you see her in the dress, you'll faint.
00:01:24Wow.
00:01:25Okay.
00:01:26Thank you, fellas.
00:01:27I'll see you out there.
00:01:28I really hope he likes what he sees.
00:01:30He's so beautiful and handsome and I...
00:01:47Please all rise for the bride.
00:02:15That's who I'm marrying you?
00:02:18Oh, my God.
00:02:20Is that the bride?
00:02:22I was sure he was marrying the pretty sister.
00:02:24Why didn't he choose her?
00:02:26She's clearly the hotter sister.
00:02:32Our eyes are so beautiful.
00:02:44Oh, my God.
00:02:46Oh, no.
00:02:47A comet hit Earth.
00:02:49Poor guy.
00:02:50What a night awaits him.
00:02:51Oh, that's got away heavy on him.
00:02:53Look at that dress.
00:02:54It's very much bitter.
00:02:55Oh, no.
00:02:57A comet hit Earth.
00:02:57You're so beautiful.
00:03:00Oh, no.
00:03:17He's a gentleman, too, just like I thought.
00:03:24Are you all right?
00:03:26Yeah, I'm okay.
00:03:29Nothing can ruin today.
00:03:30I'm getting married.
00:03:34Shall we go?
00:03:36We shall.
00:03:40I didn't know whales could walk.
00:03:49Oh!
00:03:52I didn't know asses could swim.
00:03:56Today's my wedding day, and if you try and ruin it again,
00:04:00you'll be the one that people are whispering about.
00:04:04Okay.
00:04:05I like that.
00:04:18I'm ready.
00:04:20Dearly 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.
00:05:22I do.
00:05:26Nothing will ruin this day.
00:05:30Nick, you may now kiss your bride.
00:05:44Her lips feel so soft.
00:05:48He's kissing me for real.
00:05:56By the power vested in me, by the state of California, I hereby declare you husband and wife.
00:06:06I can't believe it.
00:06:08It's official.
00:06:09We're married.
00:06:10Yes.
00:06:14I need to go talk with some guests.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:32Oh, my God, sister.
00:06:35Mazel tov.
00:06:37Oh, I can't believe he 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.
00:06:47Oh, sorry if that sounded mean.
00:06:50I just, I'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.
00:07:01I 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 of the merger.
00:07:14Well, yeah.
00:07:16I mean, the whole marriage was born 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 me.
00:07:30What?
00:07:32No.
00:07:33No, you're making this up.
00:07:35I know you.
00:07:36No, Claudia.
00:07:37And you saw for yourself how surprised he was.
00:07:41How surprised everybody was.
00:07:45And here you are, on your wedding day, stuffing 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, why did he say I do?
00:07:59Other than the merger?
00:08:02Because he pities you, obviously.
00:08:09You really are pitiful.
00:08:13And you, Troy, are jealous.
00:08:16And a liar.
00:08:17Oh, you think so?
00:08:19Well, if you don't believe me, then watch this.
00:08:30Choke.
00:08:32Hey.
00:08:35Yes?
00:08:44Just...
00:08:46Hey, there's my beautiful bride.
00:08:49Not now, Roy.
00:08:51I'm too upset.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53No.
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.
00:09:01Don't forget that tonight, that lusciously handsome man is going to sleep with you.
00:09:06Not her.
00:09:09You're right.
00:09:10He'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.
00:09:51Get it, Claudia.
00:09:53Get it.
00:09:54Get it, Claudia.
00:09:56Get it.
00:10:04Nick?
00:10:13Nick?
00:10:14Nick?
00:10:18Nick, it's our wedding night.
00:10:20Don't you want to...
00:10:23What kind of man falls asleep on his wedding night?
00:10:27A man who's unattracted to his wife.
00:10:30That's who.
00:10:31Oh, no.
00:10:41I can't, Claudia.
00:10:43Not yet.
00:10:44I'm sorry.
00:10:51Oh, where are you going?
00:10:53I actually have a big business brunch with some potential investors.
00:10:58Oh, I see.
00:11:00Um, 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
00:11:09emerging, so I think this one might be better if I just take it alone.
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, that we are a strong couple, and business, and love.
00:11:26Mm-hmm.
00:11:27Strong couple.
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:43Look, just please be polite, and let me do all the talking.
00:11:47We have a lot of investments to secure, and do not dump any champagne onto somebody's head.
00:11:53If it's one time.
00:12:01Here he is, boys.
00:12:04Hello, hello, everyone.
00:12:05I apologize profusely for my tardiness, but it looks like you guys got started, ordered
00:12:11some food.
00:12:11That's great.
00:12:12Dave, I heard you had an amazing Q1.
00:12:15I'd love to enter into the sector that you guys were talking about.
00:12:18Hi.
00:12:19I'm Claudia, Nick's wife and partner in managing the business.
00:12:25Oh, yeah.
00:12:26Claudia, I've heard a lot about you.
00:12:28You'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.
00:12:41I 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?
00:12:52Or else what?
00:12:54Come on, Sterling, you're just a pretender.
00:12:56Without the merger with you and this Whales family, you wouldn't even be invited to this
00:13:01table.
00:13:01So why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys?
00:13:04Hmm.
00:13:05Pretender, huh?
00:13:07That's rich.
00:13:08Coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee.
00:13:11Dave, 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
00:13:29to invest.
00:13:31You had to take out a loan last month for payroll.
00:13:38I'd stay quiet.
00:13:41I'm taking this.
00:13:54It's for the best that he left anyway.
00:13:57Anyway, 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.
00:14:30Why is she acting like this?
00:14:32She could blow this whole deal.
00:14:35Claudia.
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.
00:14:48We know it's in a depression, and that's why I think foreign assets is the thing we need
00:14:52to invest in.
00:14:53Before we go on a tangent about foreign companies, we shouldn't write off local businesses so quickly.
00:15:03My company and Nick's are about to go through a massive merger, and when that happens, our
00:15:09stock prices are about to go through the roof.
00:15:11The 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.
00:15:33Clean yourself up, for God's sakes.
00:15:53Good thing she left.
00:15:55I'm not interested in investing in a company run 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 affiliate with any of you small-minded
00:16:08fools.
00:16:17Roy, it's me.
00:16:18Can you come pick me up, please?
00:16:21Oh my God, honey.
00:16:23Yes, stay calm.
00:16:24I'll be right there.
00:16:31Claudia.
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,
00:16:57right?
00:16:58Right?
00:16:59Yes, yes, okay, you 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
00:17:06all over your face.
00:17:07Who'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?
00:17:20Nick?
00:17:35Is that all you see in me?
00:17:40You 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.
00:18:06Goodbye, Nick.
00:18:08Goodbye?
00:18:09What?
00:18:10Hey.
00:18:11Claudia, just...
00:18:12Claudia, 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?
00:18:27Claudia!
00:18:29Go.
00:18:30You're really just going to leave?
00:18:37Oh, my God, girl.
00:18:40What happened to you?
00:18:41Nick really didn't want me.
00:18:45He thought he was marrying the thin and beautiful Richardson, Don, and not...
00:18:51Not the fat and disgusting one.
00:18:55And not me!
00:18:57You just knock it right off with that nonsense.
00:19:00No, boy!
00:19:02No, I can't!
00:19:04He doesn't want me!
00:19:07I don't know what to do now.
00:19:11You don't need to do anything.
00:19:13You are perfect and a beautiful queen, okay?
00:19:18And 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.
00:19:34There we go.
00:19:36Yes!
00:19:38You just need to be yourself, okay?
00:19:41So you got some extra weight.
00:19:42Time to throw it around.
00:19:44That's not what I mean.
00:19:46For years, I have barely left the house.
00:19:51The looks, the 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.
00:20:09Why couldn't I have been born with Joy's perfect genetics?
00:20:13A. Joy's a bitch.
00:20:15So she's far from perfect, girl.
00:20:18But B.
00:20:20How can he love you as you are when you don't love you as you are?
00:20:28Hey.
00:20:29Do you remember that guy you dated?
00:20:31The one who went to the health center?
00:20:33Of 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?
00:20:45I am so sick of not loving what I see in the mirror.
00:20:50But I am even more sick of what others see.
00:20:55Fat.
00:20:57Nothing else.
00:20:59I refuse to be humiliated anymore.
00:21:04I'm going to take my life into my own hands and make everyone who ever laughed at me regret it.
00:21:13I can do this.
00:21:15And when I get back, Nick will beg to be with me.
00:21:34It's time for a change.
00:21:44Oh, God.
00:21:46I can't do this.
00:21:53Oh, my God.
00:21:59Nick, it's our wedding night.
00:22:01Don't you want to...
00:22:05No.
00:22:07I can do this.
00:22:08From today on,
00:22:10old Claudia
00:22:11is dead.
00:22:23You're strong.
00:22:25You can do this.
00:22:27You can do this.
00:22:51I don't know.
00:22:53You can do this.
00:22:55I can do this.
00:22:57You can do this.
00:22:57If they choose me, I can do it.
00:23:25Claudia, 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.
00:23:50Look, 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.
00:23:59The 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.
00:24:12She was.
00:24:38What's done is done.
00:24:40You have a business to run and 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
00:24:59been for the last three months.
00:25:00Nick.
00:25:01What?
00:25:02Accept it.
00:25:03There is no more Claudia.
00:25:05She 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.
00:25:37I know those eyes.
00:25:44Um, okay.
00:25:45You're here.
00:25:47But I don't think you should be.
00:25:49I think you're mistaken about the offices.
00:25:52No, I'm not mistaken.
00:25:56I heard this rumor while I was away that you were trying to destroy the company that
00:26:01our father gave to me.
00:26:02So I'm here to save it.
00:26:07Claudia?
00:26:08Claudia?
00:26:10Oh, oh, right.
00:26:11This is Claudia.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:13Maybe one third of her.
00:26:16I don't know who you are or how you got past security,
00:26:18but this is a board meeting and only authorized officers are allowed to participate.
00:26:23Yes.
00:26:24I know that because 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?
00:26:36Oh, nice try.
00:26:39But this is my family's company and I think I would know a relative if she were standing
00:26:44right in front of me.
00:26:45Now enough is enough.
00:26:47You 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?
00:26:56I wonder if Nick recognizes me.
00:27:00Something about her feels familiar.
00:27:01Is it her?
00:27:03Is 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,
00:27:27of the business that my dad built and gave to me.
00:27:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:34I am Claudia.
00:27:38Oh, 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?
00:27:54Wow, they really don't recognize me.
00:27:58Nick, you know that our marriage was over before it even started.
00:28:05Remember?
00:28:06You never once looked at me like I was your wife.
00:28:09So why would I wear your ring?
00:28:13I don't understand.
00:28:15Is this really you, Claudia?
00:28:25Yes, it's really me.
00:28:29She has the ring.
00:28:31Maybe it really is her.
00:28:33You 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, you're really just gonna leave?
00:29:33It 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, for 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?
00:30:27Joy, is you preferring to believe that your own sister would do something so insane
00:30:34instead of believing that I had the 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, Joy.
00:30:55Joy, you don't get to shit-talk me anymore.
00:30:58The 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.
00:31:11Claudia, where did you go?
00:31:14Enough with the circuses! Throw the bitch out!
00:31:17Claudia? Is that you?
00:31:23Claudia? Is that you?
00:31:27Claudia, I was worried sick!
00:31:29Finally! Where have you been this whole time?
00:31:32I had to take control of my life, Dad.
00:31:34And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.
00:31:36Why are you so thin?
00:31:39What happened? Where are these two sweet roles that I love so much?
00:31:43Only you love them, Dad.
00:31:46Dad, don't embarrass yourself.
00:31:48This is not the real Claudia. This is some imposter actress that she is!
00:31:52Please!
00:31:54Nonsense. Of course, this is Claudia. You think a father would know his own daughter?
00:31:59And here you are, trying to throw her out of her own office?
00:32:01No, there's... there's no chance that...
00:32:05Shush. Nick, now you have by your side the most brilliant and smart woman that I have ever known.
00:32:14And I hope you keep to your promise and you run this company with her.
00:32:21Yes, I promise now that Claudia is back that together, as partners, we can build this company up to an
00:32:31empire.
00:32:32So, Claudia, what do you say, partners?
00:32:42Why, whenever he looks at me, does my heart skip a bee?
00:32:46No. No, stop it, Claudia. This is not part of the plan.
00:32:50Get a grip.
00:33:08So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:13Fantastic. Then 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. If everyone wants to turn to page three in their portfolios, we can get started.
00:33:29It's just like the data indicates. Right 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. Let's do it.
00:33:56Hey, great job running the meeting earlier. Your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp, attentive.
00:34:03I don't have time for flattery. I 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. Aren't we?
00:34:26On paper, yes. I am your wife for the good of the company and its success.
00:34:37But we're not a real couple. You only married me for the merger. Let's not rewrite history.
00:34:43No, 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?
00:34:52You look like you swallowed poison.
00:34:55Claudia, I...
00:34:56You were ashamed of me. Embarrassed. I remember everything.
00:35:03Okay, yes. Maybe I was, but I...
00:35:07You ready to go home?
00:35:11Oh, so that's how it is. While I was gone, they became a couple. Just like he wanted.
00:35:18And now he's just trying to play the field. Typical pig.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31Hey, don't get worked up over Claudia. I mean, she's just being dramatic.
00:35:35Look, I need you to find your own ride. I need some quiet.
00:35:40Claudia's back. That'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. I mean, they didn't even recognize me. I mean,
00:36:10except, like, my dad, of course. I mean, you do look like a whole new person. You can't blame them.
00:36:16And? How about your hot stud of a husband, huh? What did he think?
00:36:20What? Nick?
00:36:21Uh-huh.
00:36:23Nick looked at me like I always dreamt he would. I mean, he couldn't even take his eyes off me.
00:36:29I bet. Look at you.
00:36:32You know, no one's ever looked at me like...
00:36:36Like a woman?
00:36:38Like an attractive, worthy woman.
00:36:42Hell yeah. Get it.
00:36:47No, no, no, no. We are not getting too excited, okay? Because I know exactly who Nick is.
00:36:54And it's like exactly how I thought it was. He's with Joy now, right? And next time I see him,
00:36:59I'm going to 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? Has she already found someone else?
00:37:15Wait, that's the guy who picked her up when she left me? Has 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, we'll see.
00:37:31I better not find her naked, buddy.
00:37:33I kind of doubt that.
00:37:35Yeah, really?
00:37:45Claudia, there you are. What is going on here?
00:37:47You?
00:37:49I don't owe you an explanation. And by what right are you following me?
00:37:53By the right that we are married. Okay, you've disappeared for three months.
00:37:57You show up at this man's house. What kind of behavior is that?
00:38:00Is it possible he's actually jealous?
00:38:04Listen, I can explain.
00:38:06And you, how dare you seduce another man's woman? I'm going to teach you a freaking lesson!
00:38:10I'm going to teach you a freaking lesson!
00:38:17Oh my god, what is wrong with you? Do not hurt Roy!
00:38:19I'm not going to let my wife's lover just walk out without a fucking phone!
00:38:22Enough!
00:38:31Okay, Roy is not my lover. Roy is letting me stay here because he is a very, very good friend.
00:38:39Oh sure, the friend that she tells you not to worry about, is that it?
00:38:43Oh, you know what? Even if she was my lover, it would be none of your business because we are
00:38:50married on paper and I owe you nothing.
00:38:53How do you expect me to believe that this, this, this handsome man over here is just giving you a
00:38:58massage and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you couldn't tell, she's not exactly my type. And as for you, while I'm flattered you think I'm handsome,
00:39:06I'm spoken for. Pablo is the jealous type.
00:39:13Pablo.
00:39:16Jesus, um, look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't know.
00:39:24It's okay.
00:39:25But look, look, you have to understand me, okay? Look, she was gone and disappeared for months.
00:39:31You had me worried. You show up to the office, you don't say a word to me. And you just
00:39:35show up at this man's house. And so,
00:39:39Claudia, would you just come, come back home with me, please?
00:39:45Why does he want me back so badly?
00:39:49Look, think about how this looks, okay? We are married and you can't be staying over at another man's house.
00:39:55That just screams crisis.
00:39:58Alright, and you were the one who said that we needed stability, right? And your father trusts you.
00:40:04Of course, he cares about the company, not me. What was I thinking?
00:40:10So? What do you say? You said that you were coming back to build an empire.
00:40:17He's right. If the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable, investors will panic.
00:40:32Fine. But we sleep in separate rooms. We are business partners. That's it.
00:40:39Yes. Yes, that's fine. Just as long as you come back home with me.
00:40:45I'll be were supposed to close to the airport.
00:40:46It's true.
00:40:48It's true.
00:41:01What do we just happen to do?
00:41:05That's fine.
00:41:05Who's going back home with me?
00:41:14What do you want me to call?
00:41:15You can't explain to the airport.
00:41:15And I'm close to the airport.
00:41:23why is my heart beating like this for once she's giving me a genuine smile

00:54:40Claudia's hairpin.
00:54:42She was here.
00:54:44With him last night.
00:54:46What 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
00:55:02what 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.
00:55:21Are you saying that something happened between us?
00:55:25Something.
00:55:28Everything happened.
00:55:29Last night was so amazing.
00:55:32Unimaginable.
00:55:33You were unforgettable.
00:55:36I woke up early this morning.
00:55:38Thought I'd surprise you with breakfast.
00:55:41I mean, after all that effort you put in last night,
00:55:43you earned it.
00:55:47Oh, my hairpin.
00:55:48We were so wild last night.
00:55:51Must have just fallen off.
00:55:53Look, look.
00:55:53I don't know what happened last night,
00:55:56but 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.
00:56:12I know.
00:56:14Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No, look, just say whatever you want
00:56:18and just leave now.
00:56:22Fine.
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.
00:57:05Good morning.
00:57:08Did you sleep well?
00:57:10Uh, yes.
00:57:12I...
00:57:12went to bed early.
00:57:14Uh, how 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.
00:57:33I'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
00:57:43if the family was united.
00:57:45Mm-hmm.
00:57:50That's my hairpin she's wearing.
00:57:52What is going on here?
00:57:57Something's wrong.
00:57:59Was Joy in his room after I left?
00:58:01Oh, my God.
00:58:03Did something happen between them?
00:58:07Excuse me.
00:58:08I need to make a really important phone call.
00:58:11What, uh...
00:58:13What...
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
00:58:27and is waiting for your meeting.
00:58:30What?
00:58:30Noah Hart is here?
00:58:33Fuck, I forgot that meeting.
00:58:34Um, I need you to go get Claudia.
00:58:36Uh, Noah Hart is here.
00:58:37That's the biggest priority for this company right now.
00:58:39Great.
00:58:39Just have them meet us in here.
00:58:42No, no, no.
00:58:43This 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.
00:58:52I 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?
00:59:17There's an investor here, a Noah Hart.
00:59:20He's in the lobby.
00:59:20He 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?
00:59:34Idiot.

01:01:02Absolutely. Um...
01:01:04Would you like any more coffee?
01:01:05It's important to me that I do this with the both of you.
01:01:08You understand?
01:01:10No, no, absolutely. I, uh...
01:01:12Claudia should be here any moment.

01:02:35You're okay, Claudia. Let's go.
01:02:36Claudia.
01:02:37Claudia, you're gonna be fine.
01:02:42There you go.
01:02:43Just breathe.
01:02:44Are 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 have 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. Just close your eyes and rest for now.
01:03:41Hey, investor.
01:03:43Mr. Hart, is he still here?
01:03:44No, no, no, Claudia.
01:03:45It's okay.
01:03:46Don't worry about that.
01:03:47Just rest for now.
01:03:48Oh!
01:03:48No.
01:03:48We can't afford to lose this investment.
01:03:50No, it's fine.
01:03:51We'll worry about that later.
01:03:52Okay?
01:03:54Later.
01:03:57Wait.
01:03:58Claudia, just...
01:03:58This woman.
01:04:00She may actually be crazy, but...
01:04:02I'm crazy about her.
01:04:09Wait!
01:04:10Mr. Hart, wait.
01:04:10Please.
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...
01:04:22Just give me a chance.
01:04:23I...
01:04:23I'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...
01:04:33I can only say...
01:04:35that I'm confident in my investment.
01:04:39I'll have my team sent over a contract.

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.
01:18:17No, I haven't seen him yet.
01:18:18Huh, that'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, what 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,
01:18:45but you're still coming despite what happened
01:18:48with Claudia and Nick.
01:18:49Oh, daddy, the company is what matters.
01:18:52And they're my family.
01:18:54I only want what's best for them.
01:18:55That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57I'm really proud of you.
01:18:59But you know how I hate being late.
01:19:01We have to go soon.
01:19:02Come on, dad, just one moment
01:19:04before Claudia soaks up all the attention.
01:19:07I know I'm not your favorite daughter,
01:19:10but I do work hard.
01:19:13Sweetheart, no.
01:19:14You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:16You know that.
01:19:19All right, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt,
01:19:22and then we go.
01:19:25Mm-hmm.
01:19:25Let's see.
01:19:26Well, you know what you're doing for us,
01:19:45but...
01:19:45Gwen said the half-nope.
01:19:47Yeah.
01:19:52Oh...
01:19:53Oh.
01:19:53Oh, what?

01:20:14It's, uh...
01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:18Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I, I can't, uh...
01:20:23I 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.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting,
01:20:41we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork? What?
01:20:45Yeah, uh, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:50Claudia asked for...
01:20:52Well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:20:56No, fine.
01:21:01Okay.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here,
01:21:10and he hates people being late,
01:21:12so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no. Don't worry about it.
01:21:15Just relax.
01:21:16He'll be here any moment.
01:21:17Um, no, I just...
01:21:18I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:21Okay, one second.
01:21:24Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house,
01:21:27make 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.
01:21:43I need help.
01:21:44Help.
01:21:45I don't feel well.
01:21:47You should have thought about that
01:21:49before choosing Claudia over me our whole lives.
01:21:53And now?
01:21:55You'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12What?
01:22:13A little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:17Speaking of which,
01:22:19shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um...
01:22:23I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things,
01:22:27and trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life,
01:22:35and 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,
01:23:01but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we going to sign or what?
01:23:06Um...
01:23:07I think that your father would want us
01:23:09to go through with this
01:23:10and not lose this opportunity.
01:23:13You're right.
01:23:15We can begin.
01:23:16Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract
01:23:19that's going to 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.
01:23:53I'm the one who signs.
01:23:54Nick, what's...
01:23:55What's going on?
01:23:57There's nothing to worry about,
01:23:59I assure you.
01:24:00Joy has no authority here.
01:24:02She was fired,
01:24:02and 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...
01:24:15This 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.
01:25:03And you need to wake up, too.
01:25:05I 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.
01:25:26Come on, Nicky.
01:25:27Nicky, what 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, you 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.
01:25:52Your wife's work.
01:25:53No, no.
01:25:53You are my wife.
01:25:54The company matters, but you matter more.
01:25:57And I'm not going to lose you again.
01:25:58No matter what.
01:26:02Oh my God.
01:26:03Both of you are so stupid.
01:26:05Okay.
01:26:07Better look next time, little boy.
01:26:12Stop this immediately.
01:26:18Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:21She drugged me and forced me to sign.
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.
01:26:45You're no longer my sister.
01:26:48Oh, Bill fucking who?
01:26:49Since you're no longer family and you're not an employee, you're no longer here.
01:26:56Security!
01:27:01Wait, no, Claudia.
01:27:02What 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!
01:27:14Begin for attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh, you fat bitch, don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:23Oh, fat bitch.
01:27:26It is a long story.
01:27:28Yes.
01:27:30Right.
01:27:32Well, if the family drama's over, shall we, dare I say, sign?
01:27:37Yes.
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:39Mmm.
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?
01:28:03So?
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my God.
01:28:14Yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:22In every way possible.
01:28:29Thank you so much.
01:28:30I'm sorry.
01:28:31Bye.
01:28:31Bye.
01:28:32Bye.
01:28:33Bye.
01:28:37You
