Short filmTranscript
00:03Hello. I'm here to get a replacement's marriage certificate. I spilled coffee on this.
00:10Okay, please wait a moment.
00:16Ma'am, you're not in our system.
00:18What?
00:19You're not married.
00:20That's impossible. I got married right outside this building three years ago.
00:24Just a moment.
00:27I'm sorry.
00:28Mary, there's no record of your marriage in the system.
00:31One of the commissioners here was our witness.
00:33Let me check again for you.
00:37The man listed here as your husband, Mr. Aaron Parker, is married to a woman named Chloe Morgan.
00:44Chloe Morgan? He was already married to her?
00:48That means the ceremony with me was a sham?
00:54If studying abroad is your dream, of course I'll support you.
00:58Two years. That's the longest I can stand being apart from you.
01:02When you come back, we get married. Deal?
01:16Aaron?
01:20I swear, nothing happened. I'll send her away.
01:31Chloe will be fine. It's just a few scratches, so stop worrying. Stay here with Natalie.
01:35How many times have I told you? No smoking in my house. Natalie hates the smell.
01:39Okay, okay. God, the perfect husband, huh?
01:42But seriously, why did you let Chloe move in then?
01:45Just got used to having Chloe around. Natalie's the only one I love.
01:48Then why is Chloe the one you actually married?
01:50It's just a title. Something to keep her quiet.
01:53Chloe stays in the shadows. Natalie gets my love. Out in the open.
01:57If Natalie ever finds out, she'll never take you back.
01:59She'll never find out.
02:00You should have listened to your friend, Aaron. I'm done being your clown.
02:05For three years, I thought I was his wife. I won't be a fool anymore. I am changing my name.
02:11Erase the pathetic woman I was, Natalie Cooper.
02:13Request to amend your records and legally change your name will be processed within two weeks.
02:18Aaron, in two weeks, you'll never find me again.
02:29Natalie, I've been looking for you. Where have you been?
02:34I went shopping. Forgot to tell you. Sorry.
02:39Don't apologize.
02:42I'm not mad at you. I was just worried.
02:45You had a craving for surfing turf yesterday, didn't you?
02:48I made it for you. Try it.
02:50You're a CEO, a billionaire. So important, so powerful.
02:54And you still learn to cook for me.
02:56Do I really deserve this?
02:57Of course you do.
02:58You are everything to me, Natalie.
03:00Natalie, I've been taking care of you for the past ten years.
03:03And I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
03:06Am I...
03:08The only one you love and care for?
03:10Natalie, you're my one and only.
03:12My only wife. My only love.
03:17Shit.
03:18Something came up at work.
03:20I have to go.
03:33Mr. Parker, we're so sorry.
03:35Ms. Morgan slipped in the bathroom.
03:36We'll add more staff to her care.
03:38This won't happen again.
03:39Yes.
03:40You make sure it doesn't, else I'll shut this hospital down for good.
03:44Of course, Mr. Parker. We'll be extra careful.
03:48A few scratches, and you're ready to tear the whole hospital apart.
03:51And you still say you don't love her?
03:53How are you feeling?
03:55It's all my fault.
03:56First the car accident, now the fall.
03:59I'm taking up all your time.
04:00Time you should be spending with Natalie.
04:02What if she gets the wrong idea?
04:04I'm such a burden.
04:06Hey, stop that.
04:07Don't worry about her.
04:09Just focus on getting better.
04:10I've worn this for seven years.
04:12It's my lucky charm.
04:13It's yours now.
04:15It'll keep you safe.
04:16Happy birthday, my love.
04:18Natalie, are you serious?
04:19How did you even afford this?
04:21You didn't have to do this for me.
04:23I wanted to.
04:24Wear it.
04:24It'll bring you luck in everything you do.
04:27Natalie, I'll wear it forever.
04:34Aaron, you're so good to me.
04:38That was the first gift I ever gave him.
04:40I saved for a whole year working as an 18-year-old waitress just to buy it for him.
04:45And now it sits on another woman's wrist.
04:51Babe, I can't come home.
04:53Things got complicated.
04:54I have to fly to Chicago for a few days.
04:56Don't be mad.
04:57I'll make it up to you.
04:58A business trip to Chicago.
05:00Or is it a few days with your actual wife?
05:02Either way, I'll be gone in a few days too.
05:05None of it matters anymore.
05:09Honey, I'm home.
05:11Look, I got your favorite flowers and the perfume you love.
05:15Running a company isn't easy.
05:18I know I haven't been around much, but I'm here now.
05:20I understand.
05:22Work comes first.
05:23No, you come first, Natalie.
05:25Go get changed.
05:26I've got a surprise for you.
05:28Come on, let me see that beautiful smile.
05:29Smile, smile, smile, smile.
05:35Mr. Parker really went all out this time.
05:37He flew the orchestra in just for her.
05:39She's so lucky.
05:40I'd kill for a husband like him.
05:57Hey, what's wrong?
05:58Are you okay?
06:00Do you want to leave?
06:05Do you want to leave?
06:07Okay.
06:08Hang on.
06:09I'll have Mike bring some painkillers over.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Right now.
06:15It'll be here soon.
06:17Just lean on me.
06:18Try to relax.
06:34You're supposed to be resting.
06:36What are you doing here?
06:37I told Mike to bring it.
06:38Mike's stuck in a meeting.
06:39I heard Mrs. Cooper's not feeling well, so I rushed here.
06:45It was pouring outside.
06:47I forgot my umbrella.
06:49But don't worry.
06:50I didn't let the pills get wet.
06:54Thanks.
06:55Here, take this.
06:58Didn't she move back to Northvale?
07:00Her parents aren't well.
07:01She desperately needed the job back, honey.
07:03And what happened years ago, it wasn't really her fault.
07:08Of course, I believe you.
07:09If you'll excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
07:19Hey.
07:20It's pouring outside.
07:22Chloe's a big orchestra person, too.
07:23You don't mind if she stays, right?
07:26You're so sweet, baby.
07:35Natalie, I'm freezing.
07:37Come on, warm me up.
07:42You held my hand today.
07:44From now on, don't you ever let go.
07:55You like these instruments, right?
07:57I bought them for you.
07:58Miss Cooper, Mr. Parker went to extraordinary lengths for these.
08:02Some were acquired at private auctions.
08:03Others were on loan from museums.
08:05What's this?
08:08No!
08:12Natalie!
08:13Natalie!
08:23Natalie, hey.
08:24How are you feeling?
08:26I'm so sorry.
08:27Everything happened so fast.
08:28I thought I was saving you, but I was mistaken.
08:31Chloe, she...
08:32She didn't mean for it to happen.
08:34But it was her fault.
08:36I'm hungry.
08:37Natalie.
08:38I'm hungry.
08:39Okay.
08:39I'll go get you something.
08:41I'll be right back.
08:45Love makes you frantic.
08:47Hate makes you loud.
08:49But...
08:50I feel neither.
08:52I feel neither.
08:55Welcome home, ma'am.
08:58You did all this?
09:00Yes.
09:01Consider this a token of my love.
09:02I know you had a bad few days at the hospital.
09:05Still mad?
09:06Natalie, I swear to you, I thought she was you.
09:08I was trying to save you.
09:10Tell me what to do so you'll forgive me.
09:11Please.
09:12Fine.
09:13Fire, Chloe.
09:16Fire, Chloe.
09:17Her family doesn't have much, and her parents are sick.
09:20Wouldn't that be cruel?
09:22You just said you'd do anything.
09:26It's Chloe.
09:28Mr. Parker, Aaron, help me, please.
09:31Some men are here.
09:31They're harassing me.
09:33Come here, pretty lady.
09:34Can't believe someone's paying us to do some nasty things.
09:37Where are you?
09:38Chloe?
09:38Hey!
09:39Natalie, where is she?
09:41One call from her, and you're falling apart.
09:44What exactly is she to you?
09:46This isn't about that.
09:47This could be a matter of life and death.
09:50You're choosing now to be jealous?
09:52Jealous?
09:52You're the one losing your mind over some assistant you claim you don't care about.
09:56I told you I punished her already.
09:58What more do you want?
09:59Hiring people to scare her like that?
10:01That's just vile.
10:02I'm asking you one last time.
10:04Where is Chloe?
10:06I'll say this one last time.
10:08I don't know where she is.
10:10I don't even recognize you right now.
10:12Maybe I never really knew you at all.
10:15Pull the security footage.
10:17Find Chloe's last known location.
10:19Now.
10:20You're bleeding.
10:22Should we call an ambulance?
10:26No need.
10:27I will be fine.
10:31What about all this?
10:33Throw it out.
10:34All of it.
10:36Go through the house.
10:38Anything that belongs to me, throw it in the garbage.
10:41And don't say a word to Aaron.
10:43Yes, madam.
10:44So that's it, Aaron.
10:46You're done pretending.
10:48It's about time.
10:52You don't value what we had anymore.
10:55Why should I?
10:56Let them rot in the trash.
11:06Aaron, maybe let it go.
11:09You came on time.
11:11I wasn't hurt.
11:12No, I won't lay a hand on Natalie.
11:14But the people she sent after you, that's different.
11:16I'll make an example out of him.
11:17If you have to, then go easy.
11:20He's just hired to do a job.
11:21Easy, not a chance.
11:24He thought he could touch you.
11:26I'll make sure he never tries again.
11:28I won't kill him, but...
11:31I'll make sure he wishes I had.
11:38Throw him out of here.
11:40Let's go.
11:42Aaron.
11:46Natalie?
11:49Aaron.
11:50I don't feel good.
11:52Stay with me.
11:54I'm taking you to the hospital.
11:56Come on.
12:04Babe, I was out of line earlier.
12:06I shouldn't have snapped at you.
12:07I'm at the hospital with Chloe.
12:09But I'll come home as soon as she's stable.
12:12What kind of a monster have you become, Aaron?
12:16Miss Cooper, your legal name change has been approved.
12:20Effective immediately.
12:22I can be free now.
12:24It's over.
12:29I brought you something.
12:30There is a tiny camera in this necklace.
12:33You are never getting out of my sight again.
12:34Wow.
12:35You care about me that much.
12:37You care about me that much.
12:40Aaron, when you check that camera, you'll see it all.
12:42It was you.
12:43It was always you.
12:45From now on, Natalie Cooper doesn't exist.
12:48Doesn't exist.
12:57Hey, you okay?
12:58Yeah, just a cold.
13:01I used to be a doctor.
13:02That doesn't sound like a cold.
13:04It's nothing.
13:05I, uh, I took a fall.
13:07Those aren't from a fall.
13:08They're from blunt force.
13:10Something's wrong internally.
13:11Are you being abused?
13:13Did someone hurt you?
13:21Help!
13:23We need medical assistance now!
13:27Hey, stay with me.
13:29Keep your eyes open.
13:30I'll take you to the hospital.
13:32No hospital.
13:33Please.
13:34Okay.
13:34I have a private clinic 20 minutes from here.
13:36Can I take you there?
13:37Stay with me.
13:38Hey.
13:39Hey.
13:46Easy.
13:47Don't sit up yet.
13:49You had two fractured ribs.
13:50One punctured your lung.
13:52You were developing a hemothorax at the airport there.
13:54I placed a chest tube and stopped bleeding.
13:58You feeling better now?
14:01Thank you, doctor.
14:03Lucas Bennett.
14:04I was a trauma surgeon.
14:05Now I just run medical clinics and hospitals.
14:08still remember how to keep someone alive.
14:11May I ask your name?
14:12Laura.
14:13Laura Anderson.
14:15Dr. Bennett, time to change her dressings.
14:28These injuries, they didn't come from a fall.
14:31But if you ever decide you want help, I have attorneys.
14:34Law enforcement contacts, you wouldn't be alone.
14:37Thanks, but really, I'm okay.
14:40Get some rest.
14:41Your body needs to heal.
14:43I will.
14:45They won't budge on price.
14:47But the comms don't support their valuation.
14:49We're looking at at least a 30% premium over fair market.
14:54It's not just the valuation.
14:56The cash flow assumptions are aggressive.
14:58They've restructured short-term liabilities to make the balance sesh look cleaner.
15:01But the debt's still there.
15:03Keep going.
15:05Take a look.
15:06The premium shouldn't be 30%.
15:08It should be closer to 12%.
15:18You look stronger.
15:20All thanks to you.
15:21The merger's closed.
15:22Your assessment was key in the negotiation.
15:25If you're interested,
15:26I could use someone like you as my strategic advisor.
15:29You're not worried.
15:30I might be planted by a competitor.
15:32I'm not a fool.
15:33I ran a background check on you.
15:35Nothing came back.
15:36It's strange.
15:37But my gut tells me I can trust you.
15:42Aaron,
15:44you are all that's on my mind.
15:46I'll destroy you,
15:48piece by piece,
15:50and you won't see me coming.
15:53Lowly, it's still hot.
15:55I had it simmered for four hours.
15:56It'll help with the inflammation.
15:59Aaron,
16:00you've been here every day.
16:03Won't Natalie get mad?
16:04She won't.
16:05She understands.
16:07I haven't heard from Natalie for days.
16:09I need to make a call.
16:14Aaron,
16:15there's only room for one woman by your side,
16:17and that's me.
16:21The number you have reached is not in service.
16:23Please check the number and dial again.
16:27Natalie,
16:28really?
16:30You never do this.
16:31Where are you?
16:34Mike,
16:35any updates?
16:36Mr. Parker,
16:37someone's wiped the security footage clean.
16:40What?
16:40I asked around,
16:41but no one's seen Natalie
16:42since the day you left the hospital
16:44for Miss Morgan.
16:53Passport,
16:54bank card.
16:55All the important things are gone.
16:58Natalie,
16:59where did you go?
17:00Mike,
17:02check airports,
17:03banks,
17:04traffic cameras,
17:04whatever it takes.
17:05Find her.
17:09Mr. Parker,
17:11Miss Cooper's ID profile,
17:13it's gone.
17:13Driver's license,
17:14tax records,
17:16social,
17:16all of it.
17:17It's like she doesn't exist.
17:23The gift I gave her for her 18th birthday.
17:26She never took it off all these years.
17:35What?
17:35What have I done?
17:38Chloe,
17:38you made me.
17:39You bitch,
17:40you'll pay for this.
17:41You'll pay for this.
17:47Relax,
17:48he won't find anything.
17:49I wiped her medical records
17:51and the surveillance footage,
17:53gone.
17:53Not a trace left.
17:55That bitch had it coming
17:56for trying to steal my husband.
17:59Aaron,
18:00why are you?
18:01You knew it was her in that sack,
18:03didn't you?
18:04I don't know what you're talking about.
18:05Answer me.
18:06I didn't know.
18:07Yes,
18:08I was scared she'd take you from me,
18:10but I didn't do it.
18:11I swear,
18:12I love you so much.
18:14How could I ever hurt someone you love?
18:16You want proof?
18:17Fine,
18:18I'll give it to you.
18:20You're too late,
18:21Aaron.
18:22There's nothing left to find.
18:26Mr. Parker,
18:27please.
18:28You can check the bank records.
18:29It was Miss Morgan hired us.
18:30She told us it was just a prank.
18:33We only pretended to harass her.
18:34Get out,
18:35now!
18:38Chloe,
18:39you have been taking money out
18:40from my company
18:41behind my back.
18:42You hurt my wife.
18:43How are you planning
18:44to justify this?
18:47Miss Morgan is here.
18:49Aaron,
18:49what's going on?
18:50You sounded urgent.
18:53Explain!
18:55This
18:55is
18:56fake.
18:57Someone set me up.
18:59It has to be
19:00Natalie.
19:00Yeah,
19:01she hates me.
19:02She's trying to frame me.
19:03That bitch
19:04had it coming
19:05for trying to steal my husband.
19:11Aaron,
19:11I can explain.
19:12It's Natalie.
19:14The recording,
19:15it's a fake too.
19:16She did all this
19:17so you'd hate me.
19:19I recorded it myself.
19:21Aaron,
19:22I love you,
19:23Aaron.
19:24Love?
19:26You think that word
19:27will save you?
19:28What the hell,
19:29Aaron?
19:29You came to me first.
19:30You used me.
19:31You let me believe
19:31I mattered.
19:32And don't say you love her.
19:34You don't know what love is.
19:35You married me
19:36and kept her on the side.
19:37And now you're
19:37pretending to be loyal.
19:39Pathetic.
19:40Natalie will never
19:40come back to you.
19:41Never.
19:42Fine.
19:43I misjudged you.
19:44It's time
19:45to make things right.
19:49You can't do this to me.
19:51I'm your legal wife.
19:53I can return every cent
19:54I stole from you.
19:56For you,
19:57it's always about money.
19:59For me,
20:00I just want you to suffer.
20:02Where are you taking me?
20:03Get off me.
20:05Aaron,
20:05you can't do this.
20:07Do this.
20:22Babe,
20:23look,
20:24I got a new dress.
20:26Do you like it?
20:27It's beautiful.
20:35Naturally.
20:40His company's
20:41on the guest list
20:42tonight, too.
20:43He could be here.
20:44Did you come for him?
20:45Of course not.
20:49No.
20:50Move the presentation
20:51to Q3.
20:54Is that Natalie?
20:55No way.
20:56Excuse me.
20:58The lady who just
20:59walked in,
21:00who is she?
21:01You mean
21:01Ms. Laura Anderson?
21:02She's the founder
21:03of NNC Capital.
21:05N.C.
21:06Her initials,
21:07Natalie Cooper?
21:08Natalie.
21:09It's you.
21:11It has to be.
21:19Laura.
21:23Laura.
21:24Hey,
21:25it's me.
21:26You're safe.
21:27Look at me.
21:28Okay.
21:29Panic Spike.
21:30Acute PTSD episode.
21:32Follow my voice.
21:33Breathe in.
21:34Four seconds.
21:35Hold.
21:35Now exhale.
21:38I'm okay now.
21:41Sorry.
21:42Just had a nightmare.
21:43Let me get you some water.
21:46Here.
21:47Drink this.
21:50Want to talk about it?
21:51Talk about it.
21:58Sometimes,
21:58I can feel the cold metal
22:00rot on my skin.
22:02Do you know how it feels
22:04when you scream
22:05helplessly and
22:08no one around you
22:09can hear it?
22:11eventually,
22:13a screaming
22:14stopped when I realized
22:15help wasn't coming.
22:17When the man
22:18hurting me
22:19was
22:19the same one
22:21who promised
22:21to keep me safe.
22:22Safe.
22:23Safe.
22:24Safe.
22:24Safe.
22:26Safe.
22:28Safe.
22:29Can you grab
22:29what's inside
22:30from me?
22:33My medical records.
22:40And
22:41a coffee-stained
22:43fake marriage
22:43certificate.
22:44Three fractured ribs,
22:46one punctured lung,
22:48commutative fracture
22:48of the right big toes.
22:50And patient name
22:51Natalie Cooper.
22:52Natalie Cooper.
22:53Yeah.
22:53Wife to Aaron Parker.
22:55Except we were never
22:56legally married.
22:58He thought he was
22:59beating a thug
22:59who went after
23:00his actual wife,
23:01Chloe Morgan.
23:02The person inside
23:03the sack
23:05was me.
23:07Natalie Cooper.
23:11That's why you've
23:12been so obsessed
23:12with the Parker Group,
23:13asking about it
23:14all the time.
23:15This isn't a business
23:16strategy.
23:17It's personal.
23:18You want revenge?
23:19I want him to know
23:20what it's like
23:21to lose everything.
23:23His company,
23:24his money,
23:25his name.
23:25Revenge
23:26can feel powerful
23:28at first.
23:29But it won't
23:30bring you peace.
23:31Not really.
23:32Then what will?
23:34Forgiveness?
23:43I'm not trying
23:43to stop you.
23:44I just don't want
23:45this hatred for him
23:46to eat you alive.
23:48Those scars
23:49don't define you.
23:50But if going after him
23:52is what you need
23:53to close this chapter,
23:54then I'll do it
23:55with you.
23:55Show me the plan.
23:57Let me help you
23:58destroy the Parker Group.
24:02Lucas,
24:03you needn't get involved.
24:04I can take care
24:05of him myself.
24:06I am sure you could,
24:07but I am not
24:08giving you a choice.
24:10All right.
24:11Start with your
24:12equity structure.
24:13Major shareholders,
24:14offshore holdings.
24:15Then I'll walk you
24:16through the strategy.
24:17I'll get right on it.
24:19But tonight,
24:19you sleep.
24:25Wait.
24:29Throw this away
24:30for me.
24:37Okay, Laura.
24:43Miss Cooper,
24:44Parker Group dropped
24:45another 5% this morning.
24:46The market's reacting
24:47to Aaron Parker's
24:48liquidity issues.
24:55Good.
24:56Now he's liquidating
24:57personal assets,
24:59trying to plug the hole
25:00from Chloe's embezzlement.
25:01Continue offloading
25:02our Parker Group bonds.
25:04If they collapse,
25:05we'll take a hit, too.
25:06I know.
25:08I don't care.
25:09I don't care.
25:30Find out who's behind this.
25:31We traced where
25:32the pressure came from.
25:33It's coming through
25:34a Swiss company,
25:35newly formed,
25:37heavy capital,
25:38no visible control.
25:39Name?
25:40NC capital.
25:43Natalie.
25:44Keep digging.
25:45I want ownership trails,
25:47shell layers,
25:49everything.
25:49If it's really her,
25:50I'll know.
25:51Yes, sir.
25:57Miss Cooper,
25:58this is Harry West,
25:59former CFO of Parker Group.
26:01All right.
26:02Got it.
26:05Miss Cooper,
26:06about the terms
26:07you promised.
26:12Here's your deposit.
26:14You'll get the rest
26:15after the job's done.
26:16Aaron's scrambling
26:17to stabilize
26:18liquidity.
26:19He's planning to leverage
26:20core patents
26:21to calm the market.
26:22With my guidance,
26:23he'll think he's
26:24contained the bleeding.
26:26No.
26:27You'll actually help him.
26:28What?
26:29You'll help him breathe
26:31for a bit.
26:31So he thinks he survived this.
26:34Then you strike him down.
26:37Understood.
26:45The stock's stabilized.
26:46I can see that.
26:49But how?
26:50It was Mr. West.
26:51He brought in
26:52emergency capital,
26:53several institutional placements,
26:55funds cleared with an hour.
26:56Harry?
26:56We're all surprised
26:57how he pulled it off.
26:58But we're grateful.
26:59At least for now,
27:00the liquidities restored
27:01were safe.
27:02No.
27:03Look into it.
27:04That was too fast.
27:05I want every firm
27:06Harry contacted.
27:07Now.
27:08Yes, sir.
27:15Aaron is suspicious.
27:17Just as expected.
27:19Should we act now?
27:21Not yet.
27:22Let him breathe.
27:24When he realizes
27:25I want him to come to me
27:26begging.
27:28The way I once
27:29begged him to come back.
27:30Mr. Parker,
27:32you were right.
27:32The capital's gone.
27:34The same firms withdrew
27:35immediately after stabilization.
27:36Massive sale has triggered.
27:38We're at a historic low.
27:40Where is Harry?
27:42He's disappeared.
27:44And the firms?
27:45Did you identify
27:46who owns those firms?
27:50We trace the ownership.
27:52The shell companies
27:53all roll up to
27:54one parent entity.
27:55NNC Capital.
27:57Natalie Cooper.
27:58Cooper, Cooper.
28:00Leave me.
28:02Did you come back
28:03for revenge?
28:04For revenge.
28:10Hmm.
28:11Mr. Parker,
28:12I believe you know
28:13you're trespassing.
28:15Should I have security
28:15escort you out?
28:16Natalie,
28:18I know it's you.
28:19It's Laura now.
28:22I know what Chloe did.
28:23She staged the whole thing.
28:25The attack.
28:26The hospital.
28:27All of it.
28:28She made me believe.
28:29I didn't know it was
28:30you in that sack.
28:31If I had known,
28:31I would have never...
28:32Never what?
28:35Never beaten me
28:36with a rod?
28:37Never shattered my ribs?
28:38Never punctured my lungs?
28:40Never crushed my toes?
28:41Or is that just
28:42the part you remember?
28:43Remember?
28:45I'm sorry.
28:46I didn't know, Natalie.
28:47I was wrong.
28:48So, so wrong.
28:49Tell me what to do.
28:50Anything.
28:51I'll do it.
28:51If you could forgive me.
28:55You want...
28:57Parker Group?
28:58Parker Group?
29:02What I want is
29:04for you to hand me
29:05your company.
29:06You'll sit back
29:07and watch while I dismantle it.
29:09Division by division.
29:11Asset by asset.
29:13If you sign it over,
29:15your company's legacy
29:16ends with me.
29:17If you don't,
29:18you lose any chance
29:19of Natalie again.
29:23Right now,
29:24you're in no position
29:25to negotiate.
29:34Sell the new energy division.
29:36Transfer healthcare
29:37to Bennett Group.
29:39Keep the other shells
29:40intact for restructuring.
29:43And the Parker brand?
29:44There's no more
29:45Parker Group.
29:50I'll let you keep
29:51your CEO title.
29:52Ceremonial only.
29:53No voting authority.
29:55No independent sign-off.
29:56You report to me daily.
30:01Mr. Parker,
30:02you got a problem with that?
30:08Mr. Parker,
30:09you got a problem with that?
30:16Mr. Parker,
30:18today's compliance report.
30:22Exterior signage cleaned
30:23five times.
30:24Plants watered.
30:25No visitors logged.
30:29Here,
30:31per Ms. Cooper's instruction,
30:33I require to sign off
30:34to verify active management
30:35of the holding entity.
30:37If this will get you
30:38to forgive me,
30:39I'll keep doing it.
30:45So,
30:47how does revenge taste?
30:50Hollow.
30:52That's Altair,
30:53part of the Aquila constellation.
30:56And over there,
30:58Vega.
30:59Some tales say
31:00they meet once a year.
31:02Once a year?
31:05That sounds cruel.
31:09But at least they meet
31:11every year.
31:12Don't they?
31:14Natalie.
31:19Mr. Parker,
31:21are you stalking me?
31:22Who is he?
31:23Lucas Bennett.
31:24My partner.
31:25Partner?
31:26Boyfriend?
31:28Or future husband?
31:29Call it whatever you want.
31:30It has nothing to do with you.
31:31We're still married,
31:32mind you.
31:33Married?
31:34Our certificate was fake.
31:35Last time I checked,
31:37your real wife is in prison.
31:39You knew?
31:40Of course I know.
31:41I know all of your
31:42pathetic, sick games.
31:44Mr. Parker,
31:45I'm warning you.
31:46If you harass my girlfriend again,
31:48I'll file for a restraining order.
31:49Restraining order.
31:54Was that too much?
31:55Compared to what he did?
31:56No.
31:59Look, that's Vega.
32:00Turns out the stars
32:01can be warmer
32:02than the sun.
32:08Natalie,
32:08give me one more chance.
32:11Please?
32:12Leave before I call the police.
32:13Natalie,
32:14we were together for ten years.
32:16That's not nothing.
32:17Come out.
32:27Aaron,
32:28do you think
32:29I am going to fall
32:30for this pathetic act?
32:31Please,
32:32just forgive me.
32:33We loved each other once.
32:35Why are you so sure
32:36we can't love again?
32:40I won't leave
32:41until you forgive me.
32:43I won't.
32:45Natalie,
32:46Aaron's still outside.
32:47I checked.
32:48He's been drinking heavily
32:49for weeks,
32:50barely eating.
32:51He could collapse.
32:52If he stays out there,
32:54it could be serious.
32:58So?
32:59Are you really going this far?
33:01You took his company,
33:02stripped his authority,
33:03you made him report to you
33:04like a housekeeper.
33:05Now you want to watch him.
33:08What?
33:09Suffer physically?
33:10Well,
33:10he deserves it.
33:11Is that truly what you think?
33:14Natalie,
33:15tell me honestly,
33:15have you truly let him go?
33:18I have.
33:19Then can't you see
33:19this is too much?
33:21You know what he did to me.
33:22I do.
33:23But right now,
33:24you're becoming him.
33:28If you hold on to hate too long,
33:29it doesn't just burn
33:30the people you hate.
33:31It burns you.
33:33Miss Cooper,
33:34Parker Group just teamed up
33:35with three PE firms.
33:37They've launched a hostile bid
33:38on our public shares.
33:39When did it start?
33:40Half an hour ago.
33:42They've already picked up 12%
33:43and they're still buying.
33:44NNC Capital's tactics
33:45destabilized the market.
33:46It was hostile
33:47and irresponsible.
33:49We're stepping in
33:49to restore order
33:50and reclaim what belongs
33:52to Parker Group.
33:52We need to call the board.
33:54Lock up liquidity.
33:55Trace their funding.
33:56Now.
33:57Harry was probably
33:59never truly on our side.
34:01What do you mean?
34:02I don't believe he's doing this
34:03for Parker Group.
34:04He's only loyal
34:05to his own gains.
34:06What's your plan?
34:07I don't need to do anything.
34:08Send Aaron up.
34:10Let him clean up
34:11his own mess.
34:15Fine.
34:15I'll go get him.
34:18Aaron.
34:19You've been a CEO for years.
34:21This should be easy for you.
34:25Lucas told you wanted me
34:26to deal with Harry?
34:27Yes.
34:28I want you to fix this.
34:30Why me?
34:31Because you built
34:32the old Parker Network.
34:34You know where
34:35the leverage is buried.
34:38In my safe,
34:40there's a ledger
34:40with all the data
34:41that I can use as leverage.
34:43It's enough
34:43to bring them down.
34:51Your severance packages
34:53have been wired.
34:54Effective immediately,
34:55the Parker Group
34:56is dissolving
34:57its current executive structure.
34:58You are all released
35:00from your positions.
35:01Miss Cooper,
35:02we've served the Parker family
35:03for over 30 years.
35:04That's why you're getting
35:05double severance
35:06and full non-compete waivers.
35:08You leave with
35:09your reputation intact.
35:10Mr. West,
35:11I hope you'll accept
35:12the generous package
35:12because the alternative
35:14is an orange jumpsuit
35:15just like Chloe Morgan.
35:24Mr. Parker,
35:29you did great.
35:34Do you know
35:35what I thought
35:36in that sack?
35:38I kept waiting
35:39for you to hear my voice.
35:41I'm sorry.
35:42But you didn't.
35:43So my answer is no.
35:45You don't need
35:46to report to me anymore.
35:48No daily signatures.
35:49No more humiliations.
35:51You and I are done.
35:52Let's stop being
35:53in each other's lives
35:54ever again.
36:01There's something
36:02I've been meaning to do.
36:03I kept waiting
36:03for the perfect moment.
36:05Turns out,
36:07I can't wait any longer.
36:09Is it a ring?
36:10How did you know?
36:11When you thought
36:12I was asleep,
36:13you measured my finger.
36:14I can't hide anything
36:15from you.
36:16And I don't want to.
36:21Laura,
36:21Anderson,
36:22whatever you want
36:23to call yourself
36:24is fine with me.
36:25But know this.
36:27I don't want to save you.
36:28I don't want to fix you.
36:30Because you're perfect
36:31the way you are.
36:32I just want to stand
36:33next to you.
36:34On the good days,
36:35on the hard ones.
36:36As your equal.
36:37Will you marry me?
36:38Yes.
36:40Yes.
36:41Yes.
36:41Yes.
36:42Yes.
36:42Yes.
36:47Yes.
36:47Yes.
36:48Yes.
36:50Yes.
36:51Yes.
36:51Yes.
36:54Yes.
36:55Yes.
36:56Yes.
36:57Yes.
36:57Yes.
36:58Yes.
36:59Yes.
36:59Yes.
36:59Yes.
