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
00:04:25of Nick and Claudia,
00:04:27who are entering into holy matrimony
00:04:31with 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.
00:04:50I'm so confused.
00:04:54I 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, by the state of California, I hereby declare you husband and wife.
00:06:06I can't believe it.
00:06:08It's official. We're married.
00:06:14I need to go talk with some guests.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:32Oh my god, sister!
00:06:35Mazel tov!
00:06:37Aww.
00:06:38Oh.
00:06:39Can'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 us.
00:06:47Boom!
00:06:48Sorry 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.
00:07:02I 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 of the merger.
00:07:14Well, yeah, I 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. I know you.
00:07:36No, Claudia.
00:07:38And you saw for yourself how surprised he was.
00:07:45And here you are, on your wedding day, stuffing your face with cream puffs, alone with a ring that barely
00:07:51fits you.
00:07:54If he didn't know he was going to be marrying me, what did he say I do?
00:07:59Other than the merger?
00:08:02Because he pities you.
00:08:05Obviously.
00:08:09You really are pitiful.
00:08:13And you, Troy, are jealous.
00:08:16And a liar.
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18You think so?
00:08:19Well, if you don't believe me, then watch this.
00:08:30Chill.
00:08:32Hey.
00:08:35Yes?
00:08:47Hey, there's my beautiful bride.
00:08:49Not now, Roy. I'm too upset.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53No.
00:08:53Uh-uh. We 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. Not her.
00:09:09You're right.
00:09:10He's mine tonight.
00:09:16Did he really not want to marry me?
00:09:19Was he disappointed when he saw me?
00:09:21Is all he sees in me a fat woman?
00:09:24Claudia! Enough!
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.
00:09:35Mick 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! Get it!
00:09:54Get it, Claudia! Get it!
00:10:04Nick?
00:10:13Nick?
00:10:18Nick?
00:10:19Nick, 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 i actually have a big business brunch with some potential investors
00:10:58oh i see um i'll be ready to go and just go uh no i uh so these investors they
00:11:06don't
00:11:07particularly know that our companies are emerging so i think this one might be better if i just
00:11:12take it along my 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
00:11:27strong couple
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 it was one time
00:12:04hello hello everyone i apologize profusely for my tardiness but it looks like you guys
00:12:10got started ordered some food that's great dave i heard you had an amazing q1 i'd love to enter
00:12:16into the sector that you guys were talking hi i'm claudia nick's wife and partner in managing
00:12:23the business oh 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
00:12:39no just wait a minute dave i don't really care how much money you have i don't need you to
00:12:45disrespect my wife like that and i demand you to give her an apology
00:12:52yeah or else what come on sterling you're just a pretender without the merger with you and this
00:12:58whale's family you wouldn't even be invited to this table so why don't you just sit back
00:13:03and learn from the big boys pretender huh that's rich coming from someone wearing a dollar store
00:13:12i know who you are dave and i know your company's financial situation what i don't know is what
00:13:23you'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
00:13:46taking 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
00:14:30why is she acting like this
00:14:33She 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 to invest
00:14:53in.
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 stock prices are
00:15:10about 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.
00:15:31Claudia, sit down and stop talking.
00:15:33Clean yourself up, for God's sakes.
00:15:54Good 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 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.
00:16:24I'll be right there.
00:16:32Claudia.
00:16:35What do you want?
00:16:37I just want to talk to you really quick.
00:16:39About 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?
00:16:58Right?
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 smeared all over
00:17:07your 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?
00:17:27Nick?
00:17:35Is 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?
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 daughter.
00:18:52Not the fat and disgusting one.
00:18:55Not me.
00:18:56He...
00:18:57You just knock it right off with that nonsense.
00:19:01No, but I...
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?
00:19:19And 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.
00:19:42Time 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.
00:20:16So 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?
00:20:34Of 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?
00:20:41Yeah.
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.
00:20:57And nothing else.
00:21:00I refuse to be humiliated anymore.
00:21:04I'm going to take my life into my own hands.
00:21:08And make everyone who ever laughed at me regret it.
00:21:13I can do this.
00:21:15And when I get back...
00:21:19Nick will beg to be with me.
00:21:34It's time for a change.
00:21:44It's time for a change.
00:21:54Oh my...
00:21:59Nick, it's our wedding night.
00:22:01Don't you wanna...
00:22:06No.
00:22:07I can do this.
00:22:08From today on, old Claudia is dead.
00:22:23You're strong. You can do this.
00:22:38Silence made her worse. Now she's back like a wildfire, dancing on the same old scars.
00:22:47Yeah, she burned who she was before. Now they don't know who you are.
00:22:58They choose me. I can do it.
00:23:12She came back to friends.
00:23:21Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
00:23:25Claudia? Is that you?
00:23:28Four bucks...
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.
00:23:44Snap 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.
00:24:00The trend is to invest into local companies with strong mergers.
00:24:03She 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.
00:24:49And 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.
00:25:03There is no more Claudia.
00:25:06She disappeared.
00:25:06Ran 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.
00:26:11This is Claudia.
00:26:13Yeah, maybe 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, I 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?
00:26:37Oh, nice try.
00:26:39But this is my family's company, and I think I would know a relative if she were standing right in
00:26:45front of me.
00:26:46Now, 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?
00:26:57I 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.
00:27:14Carl, I told you there might be drama.
00:27:17Sorry, Mrs. Richardson.
00:27:18Miss 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.
00:27:38Oh, 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.
00:27:55They really don't recognize me.
00:27:58Nick.
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.
00:28:33You 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?
00:29:03This 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 going to 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.
00:30:00But 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.
00:30:55Joy, you don't get to shit talk me anymore.
00:30:59The days of you speaking to me like this are over.
00:31:01Maybe this is really Claudia standing in front of me.
00:31:05No way.
00:31:07Nick, throw her out.
00:31:11Claudia.
00:31:13Where 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.
00:31:27I 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 and smart woman that I have ever known.
00:32:15And I hope you keep to your promise.
00:32:16And you run this company with her.
00:32:21Yes.
00:32:23I promise, now that Claudia is back, that together, as partners, we can build this company up to an empire.
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.
00:32:47No, stop it, Claudia.
00:32:49This is not part of the plan.
00:32:51Get a grip.
00:33:07So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:12Fantastic.
00:33:14Then let's get to work, because we have a lot of work to do.
00:33:18So, you 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.
00:33:32Right 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.
00:34:05They have to go.
00:34:06Uh, go where, exactly?
00:34:11Well, I am your husband, and we do live together.
00:34:14Did 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.
00:34:39Well, you only married me for the merger.
00:34:41Let'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?
00:34:52You look like you swallowed poison.
00:34:55Claudia, I...
00:34:56You were ashamed of me, embarrassed.
00:34:59I 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.
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.
00:35:30Hey, 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 him.
00:36:16And how 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.
00:36:45Mm-mm.
00:36:46Mm-mm.
00:36:47Mm-mm.
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 going to tell him exactly how much I hate him.
00:37:04Mm.
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?
00:37:29Is Claudia in there?
00:37:30Um, well, she...
00:37:31I better not find her naked, buddy.
00:37:33I kind of doubt that.
00:37:35Yeah, really?
00:37:37Really?
00:37:38What the hell?
00:37:45Claudia, there you are.
00:37:46What is going on here?
00:37:47You?
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.
00:38:06Then you, how dare you seduce another man's woman?
00:38:09I'm going to teach you a freaking lesson!
00:38:11I'm going to teach you a freaking lesson!
00:38:17Oh my God, what is wrong with you?
00:38:18Do not hurt Roy!
00:38:20I'm not going to let my wife's lover just walk out without a fucking fire!
00:38:22Enough!
00:38:24Enough.
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:31Roy?
00:38:33Roy is not my lover.
00:38:35Roy is 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, is that it?
00:38:43Oh, you know what?
00:38:45Even if she was my lover, it 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, this, this handsome man over here is just giving
00:38:58you a massage and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you couldn't tell, she's not exactly my type.
00:39:02And as for you, while I'm flattered, you think I'm handsome.
00:39:07I'm spoken for.
00:39:08Pablo is the jealous type.
00:39:12Pablo.
00:39:16Jesus, um, look, I'm sorry, okay?
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 and you just show up at this man's house.
00:39:37And so, Claudia, 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?
00:39:51We are married and 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, he 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 to build an empire.
00:40:17He's right.
00:40:18If the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable, investors 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.
00:41:29Oh, she likes when I hold her.
00:41:31No.
00:41:32I must not fall into his trap.
00:41:40What are you doing creeping around at night?
00:41:44Because it is my house and I'm hungry.
00:41:47Are you hungry too?
00:41:48I can maybe...
00:41:49No, I don't eat at night.
00:41:51Oh.
00:41:52Well, that's a shame because I have a whole refrigerator full of some pretty amazing leftovers.
00:41:58Maybe 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.
00:42:04Um, eating at night is not healthy and you shouldn't do it either.
00:42:12I just wanted to get some water.
00:42:15That's all.
00:42:15Um, and we have the investor conference tomorrow.
00:42:19And I know it's only one day, but I do need to pack.
00:42:27She drives me crazy.
00:42:30What am I supposed to do?
00:42:35It's a swear.
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.
00:42:46And 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...
00:43:07is my wife.
00:43:08And 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 no trust.
00:43:16But with the love and friendship and respect that we have for each other, it's effortless.
00:43:26A couple united at the top is unstoppable.
00:43:30I agree.
00:43:33It sounds impressive.
00:43:35How about three of us get together for a meeting sometime?
00:43:38Perfect.
00:43:38Yes, our office will contact you.
00:43:43Wow, that was amazing.
00:43:46I mean, did you mean any of that?
00:43:50No.
00:43:51No, 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...
00:44:06Let's go.
00:44:09Here we are.
00:44:10To celebrate.
00:44:13Okay.
00:44:13Who 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?
00:44:34What?
00:44:35This doesn't have to be fake.
00:44:36We can actually be...
00:44:39Friends.
00:44:39We...
00:44:41We 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.
00:45:35I 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, okay?
00:45:41Trouble in paradise, huh?
00:45:46Come.
00:45:48I know what you need.
00:45:53God.
00:45:56Joy, I just...
00:45:58I 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.
00:46:07Look, I guess I deserve it a little bit, but...
00:46:09Don'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.
00:46:18And she doesn't appreciate you, and she never will.
00:46:23Right.
00:46:24Mm-hmm.
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.
00:46:49No, no.
00:46:49What are you doing to why I'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.
00:47:00I would never cheat on Claudia.
00:47:02I'm going to go, and I'm going to find her, and I'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 now.
00:47:26Can 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?
00:47:45That's how you guys run things?
00:47:46No.
00:47:47No, absolutely not.
00:47:48I'm so sorry.
00:47:50Professional.
00:47:51One second.
00:47:52I'm going to.
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
00:48:01destroying any 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.
00:48:23And instead, it was the loneliest.
00:48:25And all the humiliation and the mockery.
00:48:28Yeah, that really hurt.
00:48:29But the thing that hurt the worst was the sheer luck of disappointment that I got from you.
00:48:34You know I never meant to hurt you.
00:48:36I just...
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, okay?
00:49:13And look, I know I mishandled the whole wedding, but it was bad for me, too.
00:49:18And 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.
00:49:28And 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.
00:50:24Well, then say it.
00:50:26Okay, I'm attracted to you.
00:50:29I am.
00:50:30But 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...
00:50:46Truly incredible.
00:50:48How long I waited to hear words like that.
00:50:51From a man like him.
00:50:54She...
00:50:56No, we cannot do this right now.
00:51:00I need you to pull yourself together.
00:51:03Because we have a really incredible opportunity here.
00:51:06And 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 are 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.
00:51:28I think 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.
00:52:07No.
00:52:08Please don't do this to me.
00:52:11No.
00:52:15You are drunk.
00:52:17Oh, my God.
00:52:47Oh, my God.
00:53:33Oh, my God.
00:54:12Oh, my God.
00:54:14Oh, my God.
00:54:14Oh, my God.
00:54:19I'm coming.
00:54:25Morning, Nikki.
00:54:26Oh, my God.
00:54:37Oh, my God.
00:54:41Oh, my God.
00:54:53He doesn't remember.
00:54:55He doesn't remember.
00:54:56He 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.
00:55:21Wait.
00:55:22Wait.
00:55:22Are you saying that something happened between us?
00:55:26Something.
00:55:28Everything happened.
00:55:30Oh, last night was so amazing.
00:55:32Unimaginable.
00:55:33You were unforgettable.
00:55:37I 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.
00:55:53I 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.
00:56:09What 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.
00:56:17Just 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.
00:57:05Good morning.
00:57:09Did 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?
00:57:17Why 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?
00:57:30He 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.
00:57:44Mm-hmm.
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.
00:58:03Did something happen between them?
00:58:07Excuse me, I need to make a really important phone call.
00:58:11Um, what, um, what 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.
00:58:30What?
00:58:30Noah Hart is here?
00:58:33Fuck.
00:58:33I 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.
00:58:40Just 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.
00:58:46Okay?
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?
00:59:17There's an investor here, 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.
00:59:57Hello?
01:00:08Hello?
01:00:09Hello?
01:00:10Can anybody hear me?
01:00:12Can anybody hear me?
01:00:14Help!
01:00:16Can anybody hear me?
01:00:18I'm stuck in here, please.
01:00:19Please!
01:00:26No, no, no. My husband, Hayler.
01:00:29I left it in the office.
01:00:36Help! Somebody please help me!
01:00:37Please!
01:00:52Oh.
01:00:56Nick, I was under the impression
01:00:57that your beautiful and
01:01:00brilliant 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.
01:01:08You understand?
01:01:10No, no, absolutely.
01:01:12Claudia should be here any moment.
01:01:14I just...
01:01:15Oh, she's here right...
01:01:20Now 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 Joey Richardson.
01:01:29I'm senior VP and a partner of this company just like my sister.
01:01:33Is that true?
01:01:38Um...
01:01:39It...
01:01:43Um...
01:01:43Hey, Claudia, where are you?
01:01:45Hello, Peter.
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, I'm coming.
01:01:53Don't worry, we'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!
01:02:08Please help!
01:02:09I'm coming in!
01:02:10I'm in here!
01:02:11I have an attic, please help me!
01:02:14Claudia!
01:02:16Claudia, it's okay!
01:02:17I'm gonna get you out!
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!
01:02:31Somebody, please!
01:02:32Call the ambulance, call...
01:02:34Somebody!
01:02:34You're okay.
01:02:35You're okay, Claudia, let's go.
01:02:36Claudia, Claudia, 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, just take as long as you need.
01:02:59I almost lost her.
01:03:01I don't know what I would have done.
01:03:03My God, I had no idea she was becoming this important to me.
01:03:22Wait, I 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, Claudia.
01:03:46It's okay.
01:03:46Don't worry about that.
01:03:47Just rest for now.
01:03:48Oh!
01:03:48We 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, Claudia, just...
01:03:59This 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.
01:04:12I'm so sorry that I missed our meeting.
01:04:14It was not on purpose, it was not...
01:04:16Just stop right there.
01:04:19I've already made up my mind.
01:04:21Please, just give me a chance.
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,
01:04:34I 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 going to invest in us?
01:04:55We did it!
01:05:07Well, Claudia, why? I mean, there's something definitely between us, right?
01:05:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:17Look, I'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. I need to ask you something.
01:05:29About the party last night.
01:05:31Look, I know that I was very drunk, yes.
01:05:34And I 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.
01:06:26And I'm really not worthy of her.
01:06:31Well, now we have our contract with Noah Hart.
01:06:34So I guess we can stop pretending, right?
01:06:38Yeah, if that's how you want to do things.
01:07:02You going somewhere?
01:07:03This 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.
01:07:17Okay?
01:07:17And I know that I failed you.
01:07:19But I'm here now.
01:07:21And I want to try.
01:07:22And 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.
01:07:32And 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?
01:07:59Hey, hey, hey, look, I don't care about any of that.
01:08:03Look, you asked me if I would take you back and the answer is yes.
01:08:07Because I finally got to know you.
01:08:10And you are the only person that I want.
01:08:13Look, Claudia.
01:08:15I love you.
01:08:18I do.
01:08:24I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
01:08:31I'll sign it.
01:08:32What is this?
01:08:39This is a divorce agreement.
01:08:56I can't believe I've called back to Ben and Jerry's.
01:08:58Oh, a threesome?
01:09:02Spicy.
01:09:04Seriously, you're allowed some comfort without guilt.
01:09:08I'm just so angry at myself.
01:09:10You know, I came back here to make everyone regret how they treated me.
01:09:14And I promised myself that I wasn't going to let anyone make me feel like I was unworthy ever again.
01:09:20Know what I think?
01:09:21You 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.
01:09:32You look incredible.
01:09:34You're strong.
01:09:34You're healthy.
01:09:35But you still don't love yourself enough.
01:09:38No, that's not true.
01:09:39I do.
01:09:40I love myself.
01:09:41I know.
01:09:41Nick 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.
01:09:54No, you don't really know that.
01:09:55But 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 what actually
01:10:09happened?
01:10:19Hi, I'm calling.
01:10:21This 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.
01:10:33Yes, I would love to see the security footage.
01:10:50Okay, okay.
01:10:54Fast forward.
01:10:57Tia, I told you.
01:10:59You slept with her.
01:11:01Patience.
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.
01:12:04That I couldn't believe you.
01:12:06I 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...
01:12:14I 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.
01:12:26I...
01:12:28I'm still an insecure woman.
01:12:32And I didn't let you get close.
01:12:36Look.
01:12:37Claudia, I, um...
01:12:41I cheated on you.
01:12:45With joy.
01:12:49So, um...
01:12:53No, you didn't.
01:12:56You were with me that night.
01:13:01And it was perfect.
01:13:04Wait, so...
01:13:05So, I wasn't with joy.
01:13:08So, you and I?
01:13:14Claudia, I thought I destroyed everything.
01:13:17So, what are you...
01:13:18What are you saying, Claudia?
01:13:21I'm saying that I'm willing to give you a chance.
01:13:25But I need time.
01:13:27I 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...
01:13:39I'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?
01:13:54Can I kiss you?
01:13:55Can I kiss you?
01:14:14Can I kiss you?
01:14:21Wait, what do you mean?
01:14:22Does it bother you?
01:14:24Bother me?
01:14:25No, no, no.
01:14:27It actually makes me feel kind of crazy.
01:14:34Really?
01:14:35Yeah, 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?
01:15:25You are so beautiful and determined.
01:15:30I mean, you could have any job, any man that you wanted.
01:15:32So 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.
01:16:13Because 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?
01:16:54Yeah.
01:17:01I can't believe they fired me!
01:17:03Oh, they're gonna pay for this!
01:17:11Uh...
01:17:11Documents?
01:17:12You requested, Mom?
01:17:21Soon, everything will be mine.
01:17:24Claudia?
01:17:24Nick?
01:17:25Both of you will pay.
01:17:52Well, well, well.
01:17:53You just shut down this entire room.
01:17:56Everything that you see here is a little different.
01:17:57the signing, this evening, the Noah Hart investment
01:18:01is all because of you.
01:18:02Your father would be proud, sweetie.
01:18:06That is very nice to hear.
01:18:09You contributed to a 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.
01:18:20That's weird, it's not like him to be late
01:18:22for things like this.
01:18:23I hope nothing with 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, but you're still coming,
01:18:47despite what happened with Claudia and Nick?
01:18:49Oh, Daddy, the company is what matters.
01:18:52And they're my family.
01:18:53I only want what's best for them.
01:18:55That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57Joy, I'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.
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.
01:19:14You know.
01:19:15You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:17You know that.
01:19:19All right, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt,
01:19:22and then we go.
01:19:23You know I love you, girl.
01:19:52Sweetheart.
01:19:52No.
01:19:56To father-daughter time.
01:19:58To father-daughter time.
01:20:03Ow.
01:20:10I don't feel well.
01:20:16Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I can't, uh, I can't see clearly.
01:20:26It's probably just a dizzy spell. Wait 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, we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork. Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork? What?
01:20:45Yeah, uh, 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.
01:20:56No, fine.
01:21:01Okay.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here, and he hates people being late, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no. Don't worry about it. Just relax. He'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, get here
01:21:29immediately.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia. Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine. I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43I need help. Help. 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?
01:21:55You'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12What? 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. I know that you hate to delay things, and trust me, we do
01:22:28too.
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? Mr. Richardson? You home?
01:22:58I don't mean to be disrespectful to your father, but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we going to 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.
01:23:14Um, we can begin.
01:23:17Perfect. You two are about to sign a contract that's going to change your lives.
01:23:32Stop!
01:23:36Stop!
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, 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?
01:24:19Is it?
01:24:24Joy Richardson, CEO.
01:24:26So, shall 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.
01:24:49You 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.
01:25:11So 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, 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.
01:25:52I swear.
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.
01:26:02Oh, 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.
01:26:17Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:20She 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.
01:26:44I 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, 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!
01:27:15We can!
01:27:15For attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh, you fat bitch!
01:27:18Don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:23Oh.
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.
01:27:53Claudia, I know that I ruined our wedding day, but you deserve nothing more than your dream wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:02You were born, you were born to be on display.
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my God.
01:28:15Yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:22In every way possible.
01:28:24I know.
01:28:25Yes.
01:28:26No, no.
