00:00:13Hey.
00:00:15Ah, Nicky, my boy.
00:00:18Mr. Richardson.
00:00:20Call me Dad.
00:00:22Ah, Dad.
00:00:23You know, I can't tell you how happy I am that you decided to go through with this sight unseen,
00:00:29but I promise you, you won't regret it.
00:00:31My daughter is a brilliant woman.
00:00:33She's got an even better head for business than I do.
00:00:36I don't even know how that's even possible.
00:00:38No, no, it's true.
00:00:40And after this wedding, when our businesses merge, the sky will be the limit.
00:00:45Right.
00:00:46And I just want to thank you for your trust, and for the match, Dad.
00:00:50Even though I would have loved to have met your daughter before the wedding day,
00:00:53I hear she's beautiful.
00:00:55I hear she's amazing, and I'm really looking forward to it.
00:00:57She is.
00:00:58And I'll just tell you this.
00:01:01She's my favorite daughter.

00:12:29big deal
00:12:31you're the heiress that forced nick
00:12:33kicking and screaming
00:12:34to marry for the merger
00:12:35they're ready
00:12:39no just wait a minute dave

00:12:52yeah or else what
00:12:53come on sterling you're just a pretender
00:12:55without the merger with you and this whale's family
00:12:59you wouldn't even be invited to this table
00:13:01so why don't you sit back and learn from the big boys
00:13:05pretender huh
00:13:07that's rich
00:13:08coming from someone wearing a dollar store toupee
00:13:11hey
00:13:13i 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
00:13:28left 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

00:14:00claudia we talked about keeping a low profile and you're making us

00:14:38all right gentlemen and ladies now that we're all here
00:14:40except 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
00:14:49and that's why i think foreign assets is the thing we need to invest in
00:14:53before we go on a tangent about foreign companies
00:14:57uh
00:14:59we 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
00:15:08our stock prices are about to go through the roof
00:15:11the time to invest is now
00:15:14before 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
00:15:33then 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

00:54:50How did I get into this room?
00:54:53What the hell?
00:54:54He doesn't remember.
00:54:55He doesn't remember being with Claudia.
00:54:59What do you mean, Nikki, that you don't remember what happened last night?
00:55:04What we did.
00:55:12What do you mean?
00:55:15Oh, how could you forget a night like that?
00:55:18Honestly, I'm impressed.
00:55:20Wait.
00:55:21Wait.
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.
00:55:33Unimaginable.
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.
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.
00:56:10What are you talking about?
00:56:11I'm married to your sister.
00:56:13I know.
00:56:15Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No.
00:56:17Look, 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.
00:57:09Did you sleep well?
00:57:11Uh, yes.
00:57:12I went to bed early.
00:57:14Uh, how 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.
00:58:12What, uh...
00:58:15What have I done?
00:58:16I 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?
00:58:31Noah Hart is here?
00:58:33Fuck, I forgot that meeting.
00:58:34Um, I need you to go get Claudia.
00:58:36Uh, Noah Hart is here.
00:58:37That's the biggest priority for this company right now.
00:58:39Great.
00:58:40Just 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.
00:58:50This is non-negotiable.
00:58:53I need you to go get Claudia now.
00:59:00I can't believe that I let myself fall for him again.
00:59:03And he chooses Joy.
00:59:06I'm so fucking stupid.
00:59:16What do you want?
00:59:18There's an investor here.
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.
00:59:57Hello?
00:59:59Hello?
01:00:09Hey, can anybody hear me?
01:00:12Can anybody hear me?

01:00:35I gotta help somebody, please help me, please.
01:00:56Nick, I was under the impression that your beautiful and brilliant wife would be joining us today.
01:01:04Absolutely. Would you like any more coffee?
01:01:06It's important to me that I do this with the both of you. You understand?
01:01:10No, no, absolutely. Claudia should be here any moment. I just...
01:01:15Oh, she's here right...
01:01:20No, I came here to meet with you and your partner. You promised me the chaos in your company was
01:01:24over with.

01:02:42There you go.
01:02:43Just breathe.
01:02:45Are you feeling any better?
01:02:47Yeah.
01:02:49I'm just so tired.
01:02:51I'm gonna rest my eyes for a few moments.
01:02:54Of course, yeah, just take as long as you need.
01:02:59I almost lost her.
01:03:01I don't know what I would have done.
01:03:02My 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.
01:03:32Just close your eyes.
01:03:33And 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!
01:03:49We can't afford to lose this investment.
01:03:50No, it's fine.
01:03:51We'll worry about that later, okay?
01:03:55Later.
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.
01:04:11Look, I'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 sent over a contract.
01:04:44Congratulations.
01:04:53Do you hear that?
01:04:54He's going to invest in us?
01:04:55We did it!
01:05:09Wo-
01:05:10Claudia?
01:05:11Why?
01:05:12I mean, there's something, definitely, between us, right?
