00:03:30We're getting married.
00:03:34Shall we go?
00:03:36We shall.
00:03:40I didn't know whales could walk.
00:03:52I didn't know asses could swim.
00:03:56Today's my wedding day, and if you try and ruin it again, you'll be the one that people are whispering
00:04:02about.
00:04:04Okay, I like that.
00:04:18I'm ready.
00:04:21Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Nick and Claudia, who are entering into holy
00:04:30matrimony with the help of God and of their family.
00:04:36Nick, do you take Claudia as your wife?
00:04:45What should I do?
00:04:47Please say yes.
00:04:49I'm so confused.
00:04:53I do.
00:04:57Claudia, do you take Nick as your husband?
00:05:03I've waited for this moment my whole life.
00:05:06I do.
00:05:26Nothing will ruin this day.
00:05:30Nick, you may now kiss your bride.
00:05:44Your lips feel so soft.
00:05:48He's kissing me for real.
00:05:56By the power vested in me, 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.
00:06:14I need to go talk with some guests.
00:06:16Yeah.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:32Oh my god, sister!
00:06:34Mazel tov!
00:06:38Oh, can't believe he's still got an appetite.
00:06:41Oh, by the way, are you okay?
00:06:44Surely that must have been a little embarrassing with a spoon.
00:06:48Sorry if that sounded mean.
00:06:50I just, 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?
00:07:08And what did he say?
00:07:09He said he only married you because of the merger.
00:07:15Well, 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.
00:07:26Me?
00:07:30What?
00:07:32No.
00:07:33No, you're making this up.
00:07:35I know you.
00:07:36No, Claudia.
00:07:38And you saw for yourself how surprised he was.
00:07:41How surprised everybody was.
00:07:45And here you are, on your wedding day, stuffing your face with cream puffs.
00:07:49Alone, with 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.
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.
00:08:51I'm too upset.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54Uh-uh.
00:08:54We are not going to let your basic biatch of a sister ruin your wedding night for you.
00:08:59She already has.
00:09:00Don'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?
00:09:23Claudia!
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!
00:09:57Get it, Claudia!
00:10:01Get it!
00:10:03Nick!
00:10:13Nick!
00:10:18Meg, 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.
00:10:32Oh no.
00:10:41I can't, Claudia. Not yet. I'm sorry.
00:10:52Oh, where are you going?
00:10:54I actually have a big business brunch with some potential investors.
00:10:58Oh, I see. I'll be ready to go and just pu-
00:11:01No, no. I, so these investors, they don't particularly know that our companies are merging,
00:11:10so 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.
00:11:22That we are a strong couple, and business, and love.
00:11:27Mm-hmm. Strong couple.
00:11:29Meh.
00:11:32Right.
00:11:43Look, just please be polite, and let me do all the talking.
00:11:47We have a lot of investments to secure, and do not dump any champagne onto somebody's head.
00:11:52It was one time.
00:12:01Oh, look who he is.
00:12:02Here he is, boys.
00:12:04Hello, hello, everyone. I apologize profusely for my tardiness, but it looks like you guys got started, ordered some food.
00:12:11That's great. Dave, I heard you had an amazing Q1. I'd love to enter into the sector that you guys
00:12:17were talking about.
00:12:18Hi. I'm Claudia, Nick's wife and partner in managing the business.
00:12:25Oh, yeah. Claudia, I've heard a lot about you. You're a pretty big deal.
00:12:31You're the heiress that forced Nick kicking and screaming to marry for the merger.
00:12:35Yeah, right.
00:12:39No, just wait a minute, Dave. I don't really care how much money you have.
00:12:44I don't need you to disrespect my wife like that, and I demand you to give her an apology.
00:12:52Yeah? Or else what?
00:12:54Come on, Sterling, you're just a pretender.
00:12:56Without the merger with you and this whale's family, you wouldn't even be invited to this table.
00:13:01So why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys?
00:13:04Hmm. Pretender, huh?
00:13:07That's rich.
00:13:08Coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee.
00:13:11Hey, I know who you are, Dave, and I know your company's financial situation.
00:13:20What I don't know is what you're doing at this table considering you don't have a dollar left to invest.
00:13:32You had to take out a loan last month for payroll.
00:13:39I'd stay quiet.
00:13:46Taking this.
00:13:54It's for the best that he'd left anyway.
00:13:57He'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?
00:14:32She 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 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.
00:15:11The 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.
00:15:31Claudia, 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 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?
00:16:36I 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?
00:16:59Right?
00:16:59Yes.
00:17:00Yes, okay.
00:17:01You embarrass me.
00:17:02All right?
00:17:03You can't just stand up in front of a bunch of business sharks with lemon meringue pie smear all over
00:17:07your face.
00:17:08Who's going to listen to you?
00:17:09Who's going to take you seriously when you look like a fucking...
00:17:13Like a what, Nick?
00:17:16Like a what, Nick?
00:17:26Nick?
00:17:33Like a fat woman, Nick.
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!
00:18:21Claudia, please!
00:18:24Claudia, wait!
00:18:25What are you doing?
00:18:26What are you doing?
00:18:27Claudia!
00:18:29Go.
00:18:30You're really just going to leave?
00:18:38Oh my God, girl.
00:18:40What happened to you?
00:18:41Nick 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.
00:18:55And not me.
00:18:57You just knock it right off with that nonsense.
00:19:01No, Roy!
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.
00:19:43Time to throw it around.
00:19:44That's not what I mean.
00:19:47For years, I have barely left the house.
00:19:51The looks, the put-downs.
00:19:53It 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.
00:20:37Abs 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 am going to take my life into my own hands and make everyone who ever laughed at me regret
00:21:12it.
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.
00:21:44It's time for a change.
00:21:59Heck, it's our wedding night.
00:22:01Don't you want to?
00:22:06No.
00:22:07I can do this.
00:22:08From today on, old Claudia is dead.
00:22:15White dress, broken smile, champagne whispers in denial.
00:22:19They're laughing down the eye.
00:22:21He can't beat her right now.
00:22:23You're strong.
00:22:25You can do this.
00:22:47I can do this.
00:22:56They choose me.
00:22:59I can do it.
00:23:01I can do it.
00:23:03She came back different.
00:23:12She came back different.
00:23:26Claudia?
00:23:27Is 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.
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.
00:23:58It all came true.
00:24:00The trend is to invest into local companies with strong mergers.
00:24:04She saw that months ahead of any of us.
00:24:06And I had to be stupid and drive her away and ruin everything.
00:24:10And she was the best thing that happened to this company.
00:24:13She was.
00:24:38What's done is done.
00:24:41You have a business to run.
00:24:43And I am here as your partner to make sure that that happens.
00:24:47So man up.
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.
00:24:55And 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.
00:25:05She 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.
00:25:27Wow.
00:25:29Wow.
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.
00:26:38But 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.
00:27:07Hi, yes, there's an intruder in the conference room.
00:27:11Can you please come and remove her?
00:27:13No need, Carl.
00:27:15I told you there might be drama.
00:27:17Sorry, Mrs. Richardson.
00:27:19Miss Richardson.
00:27:22See?
00:27:23Security will not be kicking me out of the conference room of the business that my dad built and gave
00:27:29to me.
00:27:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:34I am Claudia.
00:27:38Oh, 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?
00:27:59Nick, you 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?
00:28:13I don't understand.
00:28:15Is this really you, Claudia?
00:28:25Yes.
00:28:26It's really me.
00:28:29She has the ring.
00:28:31Maybe it really is her.
00:28:33But you know what?
00:28:35It fits just right now.
00:28:45Claudia, I was looking for you this entire time, and I'm so sorry.
00:28:50I was worried about you.
00:28:53I really am so sorry.
00:28:58Nick, 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.
00:29:08This 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.
00:30:23It'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?
00:30:39Fuck.
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.
00:30:56Joy, 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?
00:31:15Enough 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 wouldn't know his own daughter?
00:31:59And here you are, trying to throw her out of her own office?
00:32:02No, there'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, I promise now that Claudia is back that together, as partners, we can build this company
00:32:30up 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.
00:33:08So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:12Fantastic.
00:33:13Then let's get to work, because we have a lot of work to do.
00:33:17Claudia, 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.
00:33:31Right now, the market is looking for reliability and stability.
00:33:35So, if we can convince them that our company is the solid rock in the middle of a stormy
00:33:41sea, then we can recruit the correct investors.
00:33:45Let's do it.
00:33:57Hey, great job running the meeting earlier.
00:33:59Your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp, attentive.
00:34:03I don't have time for flattery.
00:34:05I have to go.
00:34:06Uh, go where, exactly?
00:34:11Well, I am your husband, and we do live together.
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.
00:34:25Aren't we?
00:34:26On paper, yes.
00:34:29I am your wife for the good of the company, and its success.
00:34:37But we're not a real couple.
00:34:39You only married me for the merger.
00:34:41Let's not rewrite history.
00:34:44No, no, no.
00:34:44Hey, 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.
00:34:58Embarrassed.
00:34:59I remember everything.
00:35:03Okay, yes.
00:35:04Maybe I was, but I...
00:35:07You ready to go home?
00:35:12Oh, so that's how it is.
00:35:14While I was gone, we became a couple.
00:35:17Just like he wanted.
00:35:18And now he's just trying to play the field.
00:35:22Typical pig.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31Hey, don't get worked up over Claudia.
00:35:33I mean, she's just being dramatic.
00:35:35Look, I need you to find your own ride.
00:35:37I need some quiet.
00:35:40Claudia's back.
00:35:41That's not good.
00:35:42I have to act before I completely lose the chance to make Nick mine.
00:36:06Oh my god, bro.
00:36:08You should have seen it.
00:36:08I mean, they didn't even recognize me.
00:36:10I mean, except, like, my dad, of course.
00:36:13I mean, you do look like a whole new person.
00:36:14You can't blame them.
00:36:16And?
00:36:16How about your hot stud of a husband, huh?
00:36:19What did he think?
00:36:20Nick?
00:36:21Uh-huh.
00:36:23Nick looked at me like I always dreamt he would.
00:36:27I mean, he couldn't even take his eyes off me.
00:36:29I bet.
00:36:30Look at you.
00:36:32You know, no one's ever looked at me like...
00:36:36Like a woman?
00:36:39Like an attractive, worthy woman?
00:36:43Hell yeah.
00:36:44Get it.
00:36:45Mm-mm.
00:36:46Mm-mm.
00:36:47Mm-mm.
00:36:47No.
00:36:48No, no, no.
00:36:49No, we 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.
00:37:05How 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.
00:37:35Wait, not really?
00:37:37What the hell?
00:37:44Claudia!
00:37:45There you are.
00:37:46What is going on here?
00:37:48You...
00:37:49I don't owe you an explanation.
00:37:51And by what right are you following me?
00:37:53By the right that we are married.
00:37:55Okay, you've disappeared for three months.
00:37:57You show up at this man's house.
00:37:58What kind of behavior is that?
00:38:00Is it possible he's actually jealous?
00:38:04Listen, I can explain.
00:38:06And you, 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!
00:38:15Ah!
00:38:17Oh my God!
00:38:18What 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.
00:38:32Roy is not my lover.
00:38:35Roy is letting me stay here because he is a very, very good friend.
00:38:39Oh, sure.
00:38:41The friend that she tells you not to worry about.
00:38:42Is 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 you a
00:38:58massage
00:38:59and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you couldn't tell, she's not exactly my type.
00:39:03And 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.
00:39:17Um, look, I'm, I'm sorry.
00:39:20Okay.
00:39:21I, I didn't know.
00:39:24It's okay.
00:39:25But look, look, you, you have to understand me.
00:39:28Okay.
00:39:28Look, she was gone and disappeared for months.
00:39:31You had me worried.
00:39:33You show up to the office.
00:39:34You don't say a word to me.
00:39:35And you just show up at this man's house.
00:39:37And so, Claudia, would you just come, come back home with me, please?
00:39:46Why does he want me back so badly?
00:39:49Look, think about how this looks.
00:39:51Okay.
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.
00:40:05Of 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.
00:40:40Yes, that's fine.
00:40:43Just as long as you come back home with me.
00:40:51And I don't know.
00:40:54Bye.
00:41:00Bye.
00:41:05Bye.
00:41:15Remember, if you're a fan of your husband, then we're in the middle of your school.

00:54:50How did I get into this room?
00:54:53What the hell?
00:54:53He doesn't remember.
00:54:55He doesn't remember being with Claudia.
00:54:59What do you mean, Nikki, that you don't remember what happened last night?
00:55:04What we did.
00:55:12What do you mean?
00:55:15Oh, how could you forget a night like that?

00:55:21Wait.
00:55:22Are you saying that something happened between us?
00:55:25Something.
00:55:28Everything happened.
00:55:30Last night was so amazing.
00:55:32Unimaginable.
00:55:33Unimaginable.
00:55:33You were unforgettable.
00:55:36I woke up early this morning, thought I'd surprise you with breakfast.
00:55:41I mean, after all that effort you put in last night, you earned it.
00:55:46Oh, my hairpin.
00:55:49We were so wild last night.
00:55:51Must have just fallen off.
00:55:53Look, look, I don't know what happened last night, but nobody can hear any of this.
00:55:59Why would we hide anything?
00:56:01I'm serious.
00:56:03Look, what do you want?
00:56:06I don't want anything other than to be with you.
00:56:09What are you talking about?
00:56:11I'm married!
00:56:12To your sister!
00:56:13I know.
00:56:14Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No, look, just say whatever you want and just leave, now.
00:56:23Fine.
00:56:24I want to be VP of the company.
00:56:26This way, I stay close to you.
00:56:29I hate this, but I'm trapped.
00:56:33Fine.
00:56:35This is how it will be.
00:56:38Now get out of my room.
00:57:05Good morning.
00:57:06Nick?
00:57:08Did 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?
00:58:01Oh, 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 we...
00:58:15What have I done?
00:58:17I slept with her sister and ruined everything.
00:58:23Hello?
00:58:25Nick, Mr. Hart of EPS has arrived and is waiting for your meeting.
00:58:30What?
00:58:30Noah Hart is here?
00:58:32Fuck, 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.
00:58:40Just have him 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.
00:58:53I 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.
00:59:19Noah Hart.
00:59:20He's in the lobby.
00:59:21He says he'll wait for you there.
00:59:23Noah Hart is here?
00:59:24Mm-hmm.
00:59:31You're really gonna make it that easy for me?
00:59:34Idiot.
00:59:53Matt.
00:59:58Hello?
01:00:08Hello?
01:00:10Can anybody hear me?
01:00:12Can anybody hear me?
01:00:14Help!
01:00:16Can anybody hear me?
01:00:18The guns are stuck in here, please.
01:00:26No, no, no, my husband, Hayler.
01:00:29I left it in the office.
01:00:36I've got to help somebody, please help me, please.
01:00:40Oh.
01:00:56Nick, I was under the impression
01:00:57that your beautiful and brilliant wife
01:01:01would be joining us today.
01:01:02Absolutely.
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.
01:01:12Claudia should be here any moment.
01:01:14I just...
01:01:15Oh, she's here right...
01:01:20No, I came here to meet with you and your partner.
01:01:22You 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...
01:01:43Hey, Claudia, where are you?
01:01:45Wait, what?
01:01:49Wait, where are you?
01:01:51Where are you?
01:01:52Hold on, hold on, I'm coming.
01:01:53Don't worry, we're going to help you.
01:01:54Help us on the way, stay calm.
01:01:56Hey, hey, is Claudia in there?
01:01:59Claudia!
01:02:00You been there?
01:02:02Claudia!
01:02:02Claudia, can you hear me?
01:02:04I'm going to get you out.
01:02:08Please help.
01:02:09I'm coming in.
01:02:10I'm in here.
01:02:11I'm in a acid attic, please help me.
01:02:14Claudia!
01:02:16Claudia, it's okay.
01:02:17I'm going to get you out.
01:02:25No, no, no, no, no!
01:02:27Hey, hey, Claudia, come on, come on, I got you.
01:02:31Somebody, please, call the ambulance, call somebody.
01:02:34You're okay, you're okay, Claudia, let's go.
01:02:36Claudia, Claudia, you're going to be fine.
01:02:42There you go.
01:02:43Just breathe.
01:02:45Are you feeling any better?
01:02:47Yeah.
01:02:49I'm just so tired.
01:02:51I'm going to 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.
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, it's okay.
01:03:46Don't worry about that.
01:03:47Just rest for now.
01:03:48Oh, we can't afford to lose this investment.
01:03:50No, it's fine.
01:03:51We'll worry about that later, okay?
01:03:54Later.
01:03:57Wait, 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.
01:04:10Please.
01:04:11Look, I'm so sorry that I missed our meeting.
01:04:14It was not on purpose.
01:04:16It was not...
01:04:16You can 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!
01:05:10Claudia, why?
01:05:12I mean, there's something definitely between us, right?
01:05:16I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:18I'm just happy we succeeded.
01:05:22It was her I was with last night.
01:05:24I know it was her.
01:05:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:28I need to ask you something about 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.
01:05:48Not only that, he was with Joy right after.
01:05:52No matter how much weight I lost,
01:05:55he still chose her.
01:05:57Not only that, he was with Joy right after.
01:06:01No matter how much weight I lost,
01:06:04he still chose her.
01:06:08Nick was looking forward to the wedding
01:06:11because 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,
01:06:33so I guess we can stop pretending, right?
01:06:38Yeah, if that's how you want to do things.
01:07:02You going somewhere?
01:07:03Noah, this couple arrangement is over.
01:07:07Arrangement?
01:07:08This is a relationship.
01:07:11Claudia.
01:07:13Look.
01:07:15I know that I hurt you, okay?
01:07:17And I know that I failed you,
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,
01:07:30and 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
01:07:53if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:07:55I mean, what kind of a relationship is it
01:07:57if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:08:00Hey, hey, hey, look.
01:08:01I don't care about any of that.
01:08:03Look, you asked me if I would take you back,
01:08:05and 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.
01:08:20I do.
01:08:23I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
01:08:31Sign 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
01:09:13how they treated me,
01:09:14and I promised myself
01:09:15that I wasn't going to let anyone make me feel like I was unworthy
01:09:19ever again.
01:09:20Know what I think?
01:09:22You made all these changes,
01:09:24but 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...
01:09:41No.
01:09:41Nick told you again and again and again
01:09:44how he wanted you.
01:09:46If you loved yourself fully,
01:09:49you would have believed him.
01:09:52He cheated on me with joy.
01:09:54No, you don't really know that.
01:09:56But you do really know
01:09:58that joy is a liar
01:09:59and a manipulative psycho bitch.
01:10:02So before you throw him away
01:10:04because you think he chose her,
01:10:06maybe at least try to check what actually happened?
01:10:18Hi, um, I, I'm, I'm calling, uh, this is Claudia Richardson.
01:10:22I was the sponsor of the event two nights ago.
01:10:27Yes, uh, something was stolen from my room.
01:10:29It was room, um, 843.
01:10:33Mm-hmm.
01:10:36Yes, I would love to see the security footage.
01:10:50Okay, okay.
01:10:53Fast forward.
01:10:58Tia, I told you.
01:11:00You slept with her.
01:11:02Patience.
01:11:07Well, that's the fastest affair in history.
01:11:13I mean, she was only there for, like, five minutes.
01:11:15I mean, either he did cheat
01:11:17and he finishes way too fast,
01:11:19which in that case, girl, good riddance.
01:11:21Or he was never with her and she lied.
01:11:24Bitch lied.
01:11:31Uh, Claudia?
01:11:41Look, I haven't signed
01:11:42a divorce agreement yet,
01:11:44but I, I will.
01:11:45Don't worry about that.
01:11:47But is, is that why you
01:11:48came all the way out here?
01:11:56Claudia, what, what are you doing?
01:11:59You tried so many times
01:12:00to 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
01:12:07would love someone like me.
01:12:09How could anyone not love someone like you?
01:12:12Look, Claudia, I,
01:12:13I love you.
01:12:16And I am so mad at myself
01:12:18for ruining everything between us.
01:12:21You didn't ruin anything.
01:12:24I did.
01:12:25I,
01:12:28I'm still an insecure woman.
01:12:32And I didn't let you get close.
01:12:36Look,
01:12:38Claudia, I, um,
01:12:41I cheated on you.
01:12:45With joy.
01:12:48So, um,
01:12:54No, you didn't.
01:12:57You were with me that night.
01:13:01And it was perfect.
01:13:04Wait, so, so I wasn't with joy.
01:13:08So, so you and I?
01:13:14Claudia, I thought I destroyed everything.
01:13:17So, what are you,
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,
01:13:29but I'm still me.
01:13:31And three months ago,
01:13:33I could barely leave the house.
01:13:35I was so insecure in my own skin.
01:13:37And I'm finally learning how to love myself.
01:13:42Look, you take all the time that you need.
01:13:45And I'm going to be here.
01:13:48Always.
01:13:50Just don't hurt me again.
01:13:53Can I kiss you?
01:13:54Hey.
01:14:08If we shift the allocation,
01:14:11then we can accelerate the growth
01:14:13without any increased risk.
01:14:15Right.
01:14:17You know, every time you talk strategy,
01:14:19it drives me wild.
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.
01:14:40Powering.
01:14:41It's just hard to resist.
01:14:51I think people are going to walk in here in a second.
01:14:54And I don't even care.
01:15:03What the hell?
01:15:08What the hell?
01:15:13Didn't you get divorced?
01:15:15Well, 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.
01:15:29I mean, you could have any job, any man that you wanted.
01:15:32So why?
01:15:33Why do you need to take mine?
01:15:35Because it's yours, Claudia.
01:15:39Dad always preferred you.
01:15:41He always loved you more.
01:15:42Everything was always about you.
01:15:44I 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.
01:15:52Hmm.
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 I literally don't have anything
01:16:04to envy.
01:16:07Oh, you 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!
01:17:03I can't believe they're going to pay for this!
01:17:11Documents you requested, Mom?
01:17:21Soon, everything will be mine.
01:17:23Claudia, Nick, both of you will pay.
01:17:52Well, well, well, you just shut down this entire room.
01:17:55Everything that you see here, the signing, this evening, the Noah Hart investment is 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 him.
01:18:11A little.
01:18:13Have you seen my father?
01:18:14He needs to be here before the investor arrives.
01:18:17Uh, no.
01:18:17I haven't seen him yet.
01:18:19Huh.
01:18:20That's weird.
01:18:21It's not like him to be late for things like this.
01:18:23So, I hope nothing like that happened.
01:18:35Hello, Daddy.
01:18:37Joy?
01:18:38What are you doing here?
01:18:40I just thought we'd have a drink before the event tonight.
01:18:43Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, but, uh, you're still coming, despite what happened with 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.
01:18:56That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57I'm really proud of you.
01:18:59But, uh, you know how I hate being late.
01:19:01We have to go soon.
01:19:02Come on, Dad.
01:19:03Just one moment before Claudia soaks up all the attention.
01:19:08I know I'm not your favorite daughter, but I do work hard.
01:19:13Sweetheart, no.
01:19:15You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:17You know that.
01:19:19All right, uh, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt, and then we go.
01:19:23Mm-hmm.
01:19:50Sweetheart.
01:19:55To father-daughter time.
01:19:58To father-daughter time.
01:20:03Ow.
01:20:09I was, uh, I don't, I don't, uh, feel well.
01:20:14It's, uh...
01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I, I can't, uh, I can't see clearly.
01:20:26It's probably just a dizzy spell.
01:20:28Wait here and rest for a second.
01:20:30Soon, Claudia, you'll finally be out of my way.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting, we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork?
01:20:45What?
01:20:46Yeah.
01:20:47Uh, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:50Claudia asked.
01:20:52Well, if, well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:20:56No.
01:20:58Fine.
01:20:59Should I?
01:21:01Okay.
01:21:03No.
01:21:05No.
01:21:09Okay, well, Noah Hart is here, and he hates people being late.
01:21:12All right, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no.
01:21:15Don't worry about it.
01:21:16Just relax.
01:21:16He'll be here any moment.
01:21:18No, I just, I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:22Okay, one second.
01:21:25Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house, make sure he's okay, check up on him,
01:21:29get here immediately.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia.
01:21:37Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine.
01:21:41I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43Help.
01:21:44Help.
01:21:45I 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?
01:22:13A little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:17Speaking of which, shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um, I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things, and trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life, and he wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:22:41Well, it looks like he is.
01:22:46Hello?
01:22:48Mr. Richardson?
01:22:50You home?
01:22:52You home?
01:22:59I 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.
01:23:15We can begin.
01:23:17Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract that'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 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?
01:24:12Pretty 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.
01:24:49You 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.
01:25:10So now you can.
01:25:12Let's become the most gorgeous and strongest couple in the industry.
01:25:23Sign with me.
01:25:27Come on, Nicky.
01:25:28What are you waiting for?
01:25:29If you don't choose me, then my first act as CEO will be canceling this merger.
01:25:35No, no, you can't do that.
01:25:37Noah has signed with us already.
01:25:39Ooh, but he already signed.
01:25:41And see?
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 look next time, liver boy.
01:26:12Stop this immediately.
01:26:17Everything 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.
01:26:44I 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 call it 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
01:28:00wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my god, yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:21In every way possible.
