00:00:08Honey, I have an anniversary surprise for you!
00:00:18So, what do we think?
00:00:20Um, who are you? And where is Christopher?
00:00:25No need to pretend, baby. Your husband's at work.
00:00:28How about that surprise?
00:00:30Stop!
00:00:32No, I don't even know you!
00:00:34See, everybody?
00:00:37I always knew Marie was a shameless cheater.
00:00:40Do you have anything to say to your live audience?
00:00:42Would you put the camera down?
00:00:44Look, I don't know him or how he got in here.
00:00:49Marie?
00:00:51There's a man in our bedroom kissing you!
00:00:54And you don't know who he is?
00:00:56What, do you think I'm an idiot?
00:00:57Obviously she does, Christopher.
00:01:01Marie, I am divorcing you.
00:01:05And thanks to the no cheating clause in our prenup, you will walk away with nothing!
00:01:10I didn't cheat on you, Christopher! I'm your wife!
00:01:12You disgust me!
00:01:14Give me this!
00:01:16You and him!
00:01:17Out of my house!
00:01:18Now!
00:01:19Come on!
00:01:19Get out!
00:01:26Christopher, please don't!
00:01:31Good riddance!
00:01:32Christopher, please!
00:01:45You locked me out of our accounts?
00:01:47All of my savings are gone?!
00:01:49Oh, God!
00:02:00Here.
00:02:03You were so believable as your lover.
00:02:06That bitch is dead.
00:02:10Here.
00:02:11Here.
00:02:12On this is your tip.
00:02:15All right.
00:02:28Do you have anything to say to your live audience?
00:02:32Put it away.
00:02:33Okay.
00:02:33I don't even know him or how he got in here.
00:02:36I don't even know him or how he got in here.
00:02:40Marie Thorn!
00:02:41Pack your shit and get out of here!
00:02:43Your ass is fired!
00:02:45Sir, I'm the head model at Autumn Aesthetics.
00:02:48On top of that, I brought you hundreds of clients!
00:02:49I cannot have the face of my company be some viral cheating whore!
00:02:55Roger, you have to listen to me, please!
00:02:57It's a misunderstanding!
00:03:11Gotcha.
00:03:13My brother-in-law?
00:03:16Mr. Jameson, you're just in time for our investor meeting.
00:03:20Is there a reason that your head model is covered in garbage?
00:03:23Who?
00:03:24Her?
00:03:26She doesn't work here anymore.
00:03:27Don't worry about her.
00:03:31Last I checked, it was Marie's beauty that made Autumn Aesthetics millions of dollars a year.
00:03:35And if it wasn't for her business proposal, we would have never partnered with you guys in the first place.
00:03:40So, care to explain why you're mistreating a top talent?
00:03:42She was caught cheating on her husband.
00:03:44We can't have that scandal plaguing my company.
00:03:46Well, in that case, Jannar no longer associates with Autumn Aesthetics.
00:03:52Mr. Jameson, look, I'm sure there's something that we can work out here.
00:04:00As for you, how would you like a new job?
00:04:05No, you cannot pull your investments and then steal the face of my company.
00:04:09You just fired me, Roger, so I'm fair game.
00:04:12Let's go discuss the terms.
00:04:17Why don't you throw this on?
00:04:19Get cleaned up.
00:04:21That piece belongs to us, and so does Marie!
00:04:25Are you sure you want to keep pissing off the next CEO of JR?
00:04:30I didn't think so.
00:04:43Why are you being so nice to me?
00:04:45Don't you think I cheated on your brother too?
00:04:47No.
00:04:49I don't.
00:04:50I've known you for a while, Marie.
00:04:52I don't think that you would ever do that.
00:04:54I think he set you up.
00:04:57No.
00:04:58No, Christopher loves me, and he's gonna listen when he calms down.
00:05:32This is the lobby.
00:05:34Good morning, Mr. Jameson.
00:05:36I canceled your contracts with Autumn Aesthetics.
00:05:38Great.
00:05:40Rick, this is Marie, our new employee.
00:05:42Hi.
00:05:42Nice to meet you.
00:05:44If we could please just drop off her onboarding paperwork.
00:05:47Absolutely.
00:05:50Let's go to the office.
00:06:06So, about your new job.
00:06:11There is just one catch.
00:06:23Oh, fuck.
00:06:25Do you think I'm a cheater?
00:06:26Do you think I'm gonna sleep with you for money?
00:06:29No.
00:06:31I heard Christopher locked you out of your bank accounts.
00:06:33I was just trying to get you back on your feet.
00:06:35Jeez.
00:06:36You can't give a girl with nothing money like this, okay?
00:06:39And also, you locked the door.
00:06:41Oh, that's what you were worried about?
00:06:42You know, I get people trying to barge in my office all the time.
00:06:44I was just trying to lock the door so I could have a little private meeting with you.
00:06:51How's that?
00:06:52Better for you.
00:06:54My lord.
00:06:59So, then what's the real catch?
00:07:02This is the real catch.
00:07:07Take a look.
00:07:08I've been set out to take over this company since I was 18 years old.
00:07:11Well, for some reason, my father has dragged Christopher back into the picture.
00:07:15And, uh, we're competing over it now, so...
00:07:20Christopher works here?
00:07:25Say goodbye to your office, big bro.
00:07:27JNR Corp is gonna be mine.
00:07:30What the hell is my cheating wife doing here?
00:07:36Cheating once wasn't enough, Marie?
00:07:38You trying to bang my brother, too?
00:07:41Christopher, what were you doing with my best friend, Lacey?
00:07:44Can we please just talk?
00:07:45You better pack your shit, Blake.
00:07:47Cause soon enough, you were gonna be in the gutter with my horrible wife!
00:07:51Look, Chris, you're not gonna talk to her like that, okay?
00:07:53You're gonna show her some respect or I'll have security kick her ass out.
00:07:56And I'm sure Dad will love hearing how you fucked up your first day in the office!
00:07:59It's Christopher.
00:08:01Let go of me.
00:08:02Jesus.
00:08:06What a fucking asshole.
00:08:09I didn't know he joined JNR again.
00:08:12Yeah.
00:08:14Well, I'm sure you can understand why I can't have Chris taking over the company.
00:08:19I need your help.
00:08:20I could help you take him down.
00:08:22I can also prove that you didn't cheat on him.
00:08:25I don't wanna take him down.
00:08:27I just want him to know the truth, and I want him to be my husband again.
00:08:32He's not a good guy.
00:08:33You're wrong.
00:08:34Well, take the money, okay?
00:08:38Take it.
00:08:40For me.
00:08:52God, I can't believe that desperate pick-me-Marie followed you here.
00:08:58I see you're the real cheater.
00:09:00Maria, are you stalking me?
00:09:02Because that's low.
00:09:03That's low even for you.
00:09:05I work here now.
00:09:06You what?
00:09:11I see that you've met Marie, our new head sales coordinator.
00:09:15And sales coordinator?
00:09:18Please.
00:09:19She got fired from modeling because she couldn't even sell her ugly face.
00:09:23Well, while modeling, Marie worked overtime doing client recruitment, so she's more than qualified.
00:09:30They say you're my best friend.
00:09:31Why are you acting like this?
00:09:34You're slow, huh?
00:09:36Christopher and I have been fucking in your bed for months.
00:09:39I never cheated on you, Christopher!
00:09:41Oh, Marie.
00:09:42I know you didn't cheat on me.
00:09:46Because we hired an actor to make it look like you did.
00:09:50To trigger the cheating clause in our prenup.
00:09:52When we're divorced, everything will be mine.
00:09:55All I ever did was love you!
00:09:57And then, I found somebody better.
00:10:00Oh, and don't worry.
00:10:02My brother will get tired of you soon.
00:10:05Whoa!
00:10:05I need you to shut the fuck up.
00:10:07You're gonna treat her with some respect because that's my employee.
00:10:09Do you understand?
00:10:12Let's go, Marie.
00:10:15Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:10:17I could have taken him, but...
00:10:19Am I really that easy to manipulate?
00:10:24Marie.
00:10:26You're strong.
00:10:27You're beautiful.
00:10:28And I've watched Christopher make you cry for years.
00:10:31This is the last tear that I'm letting him take.
00:10:36Okay?
00:10:38Yeah, Marie.
00:10:44I'll take the job.
00:10:45I will help you destroy Christopher Jameson.
00:10:52Okay.
00:11:09Sir, HR needs Marie for onboarding.
00:11:12Of course.
00:11:22Hiring my soon-to-be ex-wife.
00:11:24That's a dick move.
00:11:26Ah, so you're regretting letting her go already, huh?
00:11:28Once dad makes me CEO, I am gonna fire you both!
00:11:32He hired me because I'm driven and I've always been eager to learn while you've just been screwing around your
00:11:37whole life.
00:11:37Just see, wait!
00:11:38I am gonna take over as CEO just like I'm gonna take everything from Marie and the Divorty!
00:11:43You won't.
00:11:44You know why?
00:11:45Because I've been watching you your whole life and you've just been playing golden boy,
00:11:49fucking around, manipulating the whole family, and you hurt Marie and I'm fucking sick of your shit!
00:11:54And what are you gonna do about it?
00:12:00Fuck you.
00:12:02Christ.
00:12:07Did you sleep with a CFO?
00:12:10Well, she can't get a job without opening her legs.
00:12:20Watch it, you cow!
00:12:23I am the queen here.
00:12:25Last time I checked, I was head of sales and you were the backstabbing secretary.
00:12:29Nobody wants to listen to a cheater.
00:12:31Have fun, uh, cleaning that up.
00:12:59I'll call HR.
00:13:01No.
00:13:01Don't worry about it, I can handle her on my own.
00:13:03Don't worry about it, I can handle her on my own.
00:13:06Well...
00:13:06I'll call HR.
00:13:07At least let me drive you home.
00:13:09Uh, you can drive me to the motel, near the office.
00:13:12What motel?
00:13:13Why would I do that?
00:13:14I'd give you money to stay somewhere nice.
00:13:16Yeah, but I'm not gonna drop it all in one night, then I'm gonna have nothing again.
00:13:20Well, I'm not gonna let you stay at some dangerous motel.
00:13:23I got a place you could stay at.
00:13:34Welcome to your new home.
00:13:42No, I can't accept this. This looks very expensive.
00:13:46Well, I own the place, and it's been vacated.
00:13:49So what better way to use it than to make sure you're comfortable and safe?
00:13:54You own the place.
00:13:56Well, I actually own every house on the street.
00:13:57Okay.
00:14:00And I choose my neighbors very...
00:14:03wisely.
00:14:06Good night, Marie.
00:14:08No, um...
00:14:09I wanna thank you for everything that you've done for me.
00:14:12It's not a big deal.
00:14:14It is.
00:14:17Do you wanna have some wine and celebrate?
00:14:22Sure.
00:14:25Yes.
00:14:29Why do you hate your brother?
00:14:30I mean, what did Christopher do to you?
00:14:32What hasn't he done?
00:14:34Huh?
00:14:36It started in high school.
00:14:37He stole my first love.
00:14:39Took her virginity at senior prom, and then viciously broke her heart.
00:14:43A few weeks later.
00:14:44Oh my god, he's such a dick.
00:14:52Every single time I've seen you two together, I've witnessed him treat you like absolute shit.
00:14:59And I'm sick of it.
00:15:02Why do you care about me?
00:15:04And I'm just some girl.
00:15:13You've never been just some girl, Marie.
00:15:37Why don't you get some rest?
00:15:38For work tomorrow.
00:15:39Okay?
00:15:41Mm-hmm.
00:15:53Mm-hmm.
00:15:56Ah, damn it.
00:15:57My night's closed with Christopher.
00:15:59I'm already running late.
00:16:08Oh, um, good morning. Good morning. I'm not even dressed. Sorry.
00:16:14I could see that. Well, you better hurry up so that I could drive you to work.
00:16:19Neighbor. Okay. Um, yes. I'm going to be right back.
00:16:32You. You cheating whore. You humiliated my idiot, son. To think I came this close to calling you daughter.
00:16:41No, sir. I did. Shut up. Blake, what the hell is wrong with you? Fire this hooker right now.
00:16:54I'm not firing her. She deserves to work here. I'm not fucking around here, son.
00:16:58Christopher's the one who screwed her over. I'm done fucking protecting him.
00:17:01Look, and if you give me a chance, I'm going to work hard. I'm not going to cause problems.
00:17:06Fine. But do not ruin your shot at this company, okay? You have a presentation in two hours.
00:17:13You remember how to tell time, right? Don't fuck it up.
00:17:19Sorry about that.
00:17:21Great. Now your dad hates me. I'm going to avoid him just so you don't get in trouble.
00:17:25I need my head of sales on my presentation.
00:17:28He's a fucking asshole. Don't listen to him.
00:17:31Let's go.
00:17:34Well, let's get this started.
00:17:38And, uh, look at what's coming to you.
00:17:44My coffee!
00:17:45I'm sorry, Mr. Jameson.
00:17:46You okay?
00:17:46That mug was given to me in 1982 by the President of the United States, and now your clumsiness has
00:17:52shattered it.
00:17:53You know what? This is your last chance. You are done!
00:17:57Hey, Chris. You want to tell Dad what really happened to his mug?
00:18:04Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:18:06Really?
00:18:11So you didn't accidentally break his mug rollerblading in his office a couple years ago, and that wasn't just a
00:18:16cheap replacement from China?
00:18:18Is this true?
00:18:20Dad, it...
00:18:21It's just a mug.
00:18:22It's not just a mug, and you're an idiot!
00:18:24When are you ever going to grow up?
00:18:26This meeting is adjourned!
00:18:28Dad, it was an accident, Dad!
00:18:31Thank you for that.
00:18:33Of course.
00:18:34I saw him shove you.
00:18:35I'm not going to let him put his hands on you again.
00:18:37He's going down.
00:18:48Well, this is Christopher's office. Let's see if we can find anything before he comes back.
00:18:58What a lazy asshole. He used AI to create his entire client presentation.
00:19:03It doesn't surprise me.
00:19:05I just need to get proof that he hired that actor to frame me.
00:19:08You're going to. I just need to keep looking.
00:19:15Oh, damn it. He changed his password.
00:19:22I think he's coming.
00:19:25It's okay.
00:19:30Okay.
00:19:46Someone in here?
00:19:47Oh, he's going to catch us.
00:19:54Huh.
00:19:56Okay.
00:20:01It's digging into my back. It's really hurting.
00:20:06Does that help a little bit?
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:25Thank you, Scott.
00:20:28Thank you, Scott.
00:20:41You're going to be the heir to my company.
00:20:43Yes, sir.
00:20:45So, you, Christopher, with your connections and your charm.
00:20:51At one point, I actually thought it was going to be you.
00:20:54You were the surefire one.
00:20:56But now I am not so sure.
00:20:58And you, with your diligence and your drive.
00:21:01But you went behind my back and hired your brother's soon-to-be ex-wife.
00:21:10And that son was stupid.
00:21:12I can assure you that she deserves to work here.
00:21:15Unlike some people.
00:21:16Oh, she's a cheating slut.
00:21:20And now her scandal, two-timing your brother, is now our scandal.
00:21:25So, the two of you better get your shit together.
00:21:28Or neither one of you will inherit my company.
00:21:33Do we understand?
00:21:35Yes, sir.
00:21:37Good.
00:21:42Well, you heard him, Chris.
00:21:44Looks like you're going to have to actually step up and do some fucking work for a change, huh?
00:21:48Maybe you should worry about Marie instead of me.
00:21:52You're not going to threaten her.
00:21:58Are you actually fucking her?
00:22:01Wait.
00:22:03Do you love her?
00:22:05Leave her the hell alone.
00:22:09Not going to hit me this time?
00:22:11That's what I thought.
00:22:20I don't know what game you're playing at.
00:22:21But whatever it is, I will not tolerate it.
00:22:25I'm not playing at anything, okay?
00:22:27I'm just as hard a worker as anyone here.
00:22:28I'm telling you, you go after my older son, I will destroy your career.
00:22:42Everything okay?
00:22:43Mm-hmm.
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:46I'm going to get back to work.
00:22:48Okay, but don't wait up.
00:22:49I'm going to take the bus home.
00:22:56I can't believe the new girl's sleeping with her own brother-in-law.
00:23:03She's using Blake to weasel her way back to Christopher.
00:23:06Well, that's a good thing Christopher was smart enough to choose me.
00:23:11I suggest you keep your mouth shut before I report you to HR.
00:23:16Well, in that case, why don't I report you for sleeping with your boss?
00:23:21It's the only way you could get this job.
00:23:23You're wasting your time.
00:23:25Because isn't sleeping with my ex-husband how you got hired as his secretary?
00:23:28Shut up!
00:23:30Don't listen to her.
00:23:31Let's go.
00:23:37Good to see you standing up for yourself.
00:23:39I told you.
00:23:40I'm taking the bus.
00:23:41I don't need your help.
00:23:42You want to tell me what's really going on?
00:23:45Your dad thinks I'm a gold digger out to get you.
00:23:48Okay, you've been nice enough, so let me return the favor and not give him any more reasons to worry.
00:23:53Marie, just hold on a second.
00:23:54Just listen, okay?
00:23:57I'll decide what kind of trouble I'm getting in over you.
00:24:01In the meantime, I'd like to drive you home.
00:24:04Let's go.
00:24:10Marie, look.
00:24:12I just want to make sure that you don't take any of that personally back there.
00:24:15My dad thinks that everyone's out to get our money.
00:24:18I'm going to protect you, though, okay?
00:24:20All this time you were my brother-in-law and I didn't realize how kind you were.
00:24:24There were lots of things that I wanted to tell you.
00:24:28All those years.
00:24:30Things I wanted to do.
00:24:34Like what?
00:24:39I knew it!
00:24:41I knew you were cheating on me with my brother.
00:24:44Forget the tape with the actor.
00:24:46I can use the truth to destroy you.
00:24:53Oh, you're going to talk, Christopher.
00:24:55You're waltzing around with my best friend.
00:24:57At least she's loyal.
00:24:58And you know what?
00:24:59Remember this, Marie.
00:25:00Until the divorce goes through, you are still my wife.
00:25:03If I'm your wife, where is your ring?
00:25:05Christopher, get the hell out of here before I co-secured it.
00:25:09The next time I get you to play in tonsil hockey, I will get my proof.
00:25:13And then I'm going straight to dad.
00:25:16And then my divorce attorney.
00:25:17I'd like to see you try.
00:25:22Let's go.
00:25:36Look, I'm sorry that you had to deal with my idiot brother for so long.
00:25:41I don't know how you ever did it.
00:25:43But it's good that you stood up to him.
00:25:45I always thought he was so nice and so genuine.
00:25:47I don't know how I didn't see it.
00:25:53Marie, there's no reason for you to worry anymore.
00:25:55Because you've got me.
00:25:59Okay?
00:26:08I don't know what I would do without you.
00:26:13Hmm.
00:26:23Ms. Thorne, Christopher tells me that there was an incident on company property involving you and Blake.
00:26:30Nothing happened, sir.
00:26:31I swear.
00:26:32I promise.
00:26:33I told you I would be watching you.
00:26:36Now, stay away from my sons.
00:26:41Or I will finish you.
00:26:50Hey.
00:26:51Hi.
00:26:52Thought we could use an afternoon pick-me-up.
00:26:54What do you say?
00:26:55I.
00:26:59It's French roast, two sugars and a cream.
00:27:01Just the way you like it.
00:27:03I already had my coffee.
00:27:12Oh, that was close.
00:27:14Hmm.
00:27:15Look at you.
00:27:16Still trying to dig all the cold you can get.
00:27:19Tell me, how is Christopher doing financially?
00:27:22I mean, he did steal all of my money.
00:27:25Right?
00:27:25All the money I earned from modeling at Autumn Aesthetics.
00:27:28Has he spent it all?
00:27:32Oh, and sorry, speaking of money, has he asked you for any?
00:27:35Of course not.
00:27:36He's a billionaire.
00:27:38It'll happen soon.
00:27:40Trust me.
00:27:41Okay, he was always in debt.
00:27:43My modeling checks pay for his gambling, his drinking, his luxury cars.
00:27:46That's the reason why he wants this company.
00:27:48He wants to sell it and make a quick buck.
00:27:50He takes care of me.
00:27:52Okay, that was something that you always took advantage of.
00:27:55Lacey, just remember that I have been in your shoes before.
00:27:59Okay, and in a matter of time, he's going to turn on you the way that he did to me.
00:28:08Marie said you were in debt.
00:28:11What's that about?
00:28:12What?
00:28:13No, fake news.
00:28:14Look, I warned you.
00:28:16She was going to lie about me.
00:28:17She is manipulative and jealous.
00:28:21Nothing like you.
00:28:23God, I can't believe I was her friend.
00:28:25We have to get her fired or she is going to keep coming after me.
00:28:29After us.
00:28:33Come on.
00:28:35Do you have any ideas of how we could get her fired?
00:28:38Yeah.
00:28:45You have been ignoring me, Marie Thorne.
00:28:48Why don't you tell me why?
00:28:49No, I have not.
00:28:50I swear.
00:28:51I've just been really busy.
00:28:53Well, I hope not too busy because there's a client dinner tonight and I would like for
00:28:57you to come with me.
00:29:02I got you this.
00:29:05Open it up.
00:29:10Oh my God.
00:29:12This is from the new Gary Midnight Collection.
00:29:14This is worth more than like three months of my salary.
00:29:17Well, the client we're meeting for dinner is very high profile and you can consider this
00:29:22a present from your boss.
00:29:25No, like, I can't accept this.
00:29:29Take it.
00:29:30You deserve something nice after everything you've been through, Marie.
00:29:46Pardon me, sir.
00:29:47Do you have a reservation?
00:29:50I am Christopher Jameson.
00:29:52I don't do reservations.
00:29:54My apologies, sir, but our tables are booked out for months.
00:30:06Actually, it's my mistake.
00:30:08My brother made the reservation for me.
00:30:10It should be under Blake Jameson.
00:30:13Ah, yes.
00:30:15Here's the reservation.
00:30:16Follow me.
00:30:17Of course.
00:30:18Don't worry about it.
00:30:19Right, this way.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:24Hi.
00:30:25Reservation for Blake Jameson, please.
00:30:27I'm sorry.
00:30:28Mr. Jameson and his date have already checked in.
00:30:31And we don't have any on more tables until April.
00:30:34He stole your client dinner.
00:30:36Looks like he'd like to try to take my job.
00:30:38I would love to see him try.
00:30:41Is Gioni here tonight?
00:30:43Blake!
00:30:45My old amigo!
00:30:47Sir, I told him that we're booked.
00:30:50Nonsense!
00:30:50I always have a table for you.
00:30:53Very romantic for your beautiful guest.
00:30:58Come, come.
00:31:02Your table.
00:31:03Thank you, Gioni.
00:31:04Yeah.
00:31:10You ready for dinner and a show?
00:31:12This is your table.
00:31:13Enjoy your meeting.
00:31:15Uh, meeting?
00:31:24Devin, with the Bronwyn group.
00:31:27I thought I was meeting with Blake tonight.
00:31:29Christopher!
00:31:30I wanted a date!
00:31:32Shut up!
00:31:33If I can secure this deal, then my father would be convinced to make me CEO.
00:31:38Let's have a seat, of course.
00:31:40Yeah, of course.
00:31:41Here you are.
00:31:46What more could you ask for on a first date?
00:31:49Some stroza preti and some fine desserts.
00:31:53So this is a date?
00:31:57A date, you know, as in a business meeting between two friends.
00:32:02Or colleagues, I should say.
00:32:04Hmm.
00:32:06Our company's charity gala is coming up, and I think with your donation, it will really make it stop.
00:32:13Now we're here to discuss how J&R can invest in my business.
00:32:18I'm not putting up with this disrespect.
00:32:20Excuse me, sir.
00:32:21Please, just hear me out, okay?
00:32:25Devin.
00:32:27Blake Jameson.
00:32:29Sorry about my brother here, Christopher.
00:32:30Thought he could handle this meeting, so he stole my reservation.
00:32:33Yeah, well, in all my years, I've never come across such a bumbling idiot like him.
00:32:37Do you have any idea who I am?
00:32:39I could ruin you in an instant!
00:32:41How dare you make such a scene in my establishment!
00:32:43You'll never be welcome here again!
00:32:46Out!
00:32:48Babe, babe, babe, excuse me, please!
00:32:53Why don't we start over, Devin?
00:32:56Hi, I'm Marie Thorne, I'm head of sales, and we want to offer Bronwyn Group a lucrative deal.
00:33:03Tell me more.
00:33:17Oh, no, I'm so sorry.
00:33:22Wait, don't you have that big presentation today?
00:33:26You should just go home.
00:33:28I can still do the presentation like this and blow them away.
00:33:31Okay.
00:33:35How are you feeling?
00:33:35You ready?
00:33:37What happened?
00:33:39Lacey.
00:33:43I'll take care of this.
00:33:50Can we get a heaven blue outfit sent up to my office immediately, please?
00:33:56I'm sorry about that.
00:34:12Don't you all have work to do?
00:34:26Marie Thorne, I can't believe you took that fucking job.
00:34:39Roger, from Autumn Aesthetics.
00:34:41You must have forgotten that we no longer do business with you.
00:34:44I'm not here for business.
00:34:45I'm here for Marie.
00:34:48We need you back at Autumn Aesthetics.
00:34:50Did you forget that you threw literal garbage at me?
00:34:54It was a joke.
00:34:56Everything is falling apart since you're gone.
00:34:59Half the models, the photographers, they quit because you left.
00:35:02I didn't leave.
00:35:03You fired me.
00:35:04And you know what?
00:35:04Now that you're here, I have a couple things I want to say.
00:35:07I devoted 10 years of my life to you in Autumn Aesthetics, and you threw me out like garbage.
00:35:12I hope you lose the rest of your staff.
00:35:21Get the hell out of here, Roger.
00:35:25I'm so fucked.
00:35:28I cannot believe I just stood up to him.
00:35:32I'm really proud of you.
00:35:34You deserve Al a lot more than how he treated you.
00:36:06I can't do this.
00:36:09The divorce, the company, your dad.
00:36:12I know.
00:36:14It doesn't stop me from wanting to.
00:36:17I don't want to give Christopher any more ammo for this divorce.
00:36:21And you're my boss.
00:36:24And as your boss, I'm telling you that everything's going to be all right.
00:36:28And I think that if you want me, you should kiss me again.
00:36:54I told myself for a long time that I could never fall for you.
00:36:59Too late.
00:37:03We can't do this.
00:37:04What if Christopher and your father finds out?
00:37:06I mean, they're already suspicious of us.
00:37:09That was even before.
00:37:17It's going to be fine.
00:37:19Yeah, but we have to be careful.
00:37:30Shit.
00:37:31What's wrong?
00:37:41No, that can't be happening.
00:37:43There's no proof.
00:37:47Sir, your father would like to see you as well as Miss Thornton.
00:38:00I have given you too many chances, Miss Thornton, and you continue to disrespect the Jameson family name.
00:38:09Dad, listen to me.
00:38:10There is no proof that any of those rumors are true.
00:38:13They must have seen the video of my cheating wife and how she moved on to you after a single
00:38:18day.
00:38:19Okay, that's enough.
00:38:20Look, I didn't cheat on Christopher, okay?
00:38:22He hired an actor to frame me.
00:38:24That is a ridiculous accusation against my son, Miss Thornton.
00:38:27There's absolutely no proof of that.
00:38:29Okay, I will not let you go after both of my sons and try to destroy my family.
00:38:35Miss Thornton, you are fired.
00:38:47Way to show her dad.
00:38:49What a whore.
00:38:53Maria, just wait.
00:38:55Like, they fired me.
00:38:57Okay, I knew that you and I should have gotten so close.
00:38:59I talked to my father.
00:39:00We're setting up a board meeting to prove that Chris has nothing on you.
00:39:02I'm going to find the proof that he set you up.
00:39:04It doesn't matter.
00:39:04It's over.
00:39:06Okay, your father thinks that I'm a gold digger.
00:39:08Now the whole world does too.
00:39:09Fuck the rest of the world.
00:39:11Who cares about him?
00:39:12You still got me.
00:39:13Okay?
00:39:15And you really think that we can convince the board that Christopher is lying?
00:39:18I told you that I'm going to protect you.
00:39:21Okay?
00:39:23I'm keeping my promise.
00:39:38I knew it.
00:39:40Finally, something I can use.
00:39:49Ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attentions to the screen.
00:40:00As you can see, Marie engaged in inappropriate relations with my brother, her boss.
00:40:09The divorce isn't even finalized.
00:40:11She is still my wife.
00:40:13Okay, look.
00:40:15Blake asked us to have this meeting so that we could watch the evidence.
00:40:19And now we have watched the evidence.
00:40:21So now can we just vote to fire her, please, so that we can get on with some actual work?
00:40:26Wait.
00:40:29Marie didn't kiss me.
00:40:30Right there on the video.
00:40:32I'm not finished.
00:40:34Marie didn't kiss me.
00:40:35I kissed her.
00:40:36You can see that in the video.
00:40:39Now if you want to fire somebody today, fire me.
00:40:41Son, what is wrong with you?
00:40:44Do you have a tumor?
00:40:45She is manipulating you.
00:40:47And please do not let this drag on.
00:40:49I would like to be with her.
00:40:51That's what I want.
00:40:53Now I'll file whatever the hell I need to with HR.
00:40:57As long as Marie feels the same way.
00:40:59You're talking about my wife.
00:41:02Perhaps Blake and Marie can resume their relationship after the divorce to avoid scandal.
00:41:08Dating is not against company policy.
00:41:10I can agree to that.
00:41:11Then I move that she be reinstated.
00:41:14All in favor.
00:41:15Aye.
00:41:16Aye.
00:41:16Aye.
00:41:16Aye.
00:41:18Nay.
00:41:20Well, majority wins, I guess.
00:41:33So nice to have you back.
00:41:35Yeah.
00:41:36A certain secretary was getting way too bossy without having you around.
00:41:40You know what?
00:41:41I'll be right back.
00:41:41I have someone that I want to thank.
00:41:52Hey.
00:41:53Christopher just set the date for the divorce proceedings.
00:41:55So I might have a job, but I'm going to lose everything else.
00:42:01You're not going to, because we're not going to let him win, okay?
00:42:07Stop.
00:42:08You heard the board.
00:42:09Not until after the divorce.
00:42:12I guess I'll just have to be patient then.
00:42:22There has to be something in California divorce law that gets me my house and my savings back.
00:42:29I cannot let Christopher steal everything in this divorce.
00:42:39I've got my best lawyers on it.
00:42:42You're coming to my rescue again, huh?
00:42:45I can't have those eyes too tired for work tomorrow, right?
00:42:53I meant what I said.
00:42:56When this is all over, we'd like to be together.
00:43:14I'm sorry.
00:43:17I'm not.
00:43:20I'm sorry.
00:43:31Did someone forget to eat dinner again?
00:43:37I was just about to start some work.
00:43:39Yeah, you're always just about to.
00:43:41It sounds like you need someone to take you off the track.
00:43:45Are you volunteering?
00:43:46Yeah, of course, anything for my boss.
00:43:51Really?
00:44:01We said we wouldn't until after the divorce.
00:44:05It's final.
00:44:06I'm not touching you.
00:44:10I'm just existing in your space.
00:44:14Well, your space is a little close to mine, don't you think?
00:44:18Then maybe you've got to move me.
00:44:23We can't.
00:44:29I knew it.
00:44:30I knew that you were lying to those board members right to their stupid faces.
00:44:40Dad, it's not exactly what it looks like, okay?
00:44:42So just...
00:44:43What does it look like, genius?
00:44:45We weren't doing anything.
00:44:47I just brought, like, food.
00:44:48Because what it looks like to me is yet another reason why I should fire you.
00:44:56You know what?
00:44:57I don't want to see the two of you together ever, anywhere, at any time, in any place, in any
00:45:03capacity.
00:45:04And if I do, you are both fired.
00:45:07I don't care if you are my son.
00:45:16Marie, hold on a second.
00:45:18Just wait.
00:45:19I'm not going to be the reason why you lose your father and your job.
00:45:44Lacey, that's my computer.
00:45:48What the hell are you doing?
00:45:53Just stop torturing Christopher.
00:45:56You've done enough, Marie.
00:45:58You were doing something to my work, weren't you?
00:46:00What?
00:46:01No.
00:46:02I swear, Marie.
00:46:03I just want what's best for everyone.
00:46:06If you leave the company, he'll pay you.
00:46:08With the money that he stole from me?
00:46:11Lacey, get away from my stuff.
00:46:13Marie hit me.
00:46:15Somebody call HR.
00:46:25Okay, everything seems to be in order.
00:46:29I still don't trust her.
00:46:50Hi.
00:46:52I'm not leaving until I make you dinner.
00:46:55And you're not running until we talk.
00:47:00I have already been fired once.
00:47:01I can't afford to let that happen again.
00:47:04Aren't you scared?
00:47:08I've been working at that company since I was 18, Marie.
00:47:11The thought of losing it to my incompetent brother?
00:47:14Of course it scares me.
00:47:19But the thought of losing you?
00:47:23Scares me a little more.
00:47:27Because I've wanted you since the first day I met you.
00:47:33And now that I know what it's like to kiss you and hold you, I can't go back.
00:47:44Um, I found Lacey on my laptop.
00:47:47I think they're up to something.
00:47:49They're always up to something.
00:47:51Yeah.
00:47:52But haven't you noticed that when we're together, we make a good team?
00:48:01Can I help you cook?
00:48:04Why don't you go relax for a change?
00:48:07Okay?
00:48:09Okay.
00:48:22Maybe after all this is done, I can let you take me on a real date.
00:48:27A little too late for that, isn't it?
00:48:29What do you mean?
00:48:30I bought groceries.
00:48:32Cooked you dinner.
00:48:35If you ask me,
00:48:38this is a real date.
00:48:40If you'll let it be.
00:48:46Blake.
00:48:47What?
00:49:06He's just bluffing.
00:49:07He's trying to get in my head.
00:49:11Why are you risking everything for me?
00:49:14I have respected your relationship with my brother.
00:49:19For a long time.
00:49:21Yeah.
00:49:22But after everything that's happened,
00:49:26I don't care anymore.
00:49:29I just want this.
00:49:31Look, giving in to our impulses is one thing.
00:49:33But a long-term commitment with my boss and my former brother-in-law is another.
00:49:38Is that what this is to you?
00:49:40Just fun?
00:49:41No, no, but there's a power dynamic here.
00:49:44And your father.
00:49:46Well, I already told you, we're going to take care of that.
00:49:48Okay?
00:49:49Yeah.
00:49:51And as for us,
00:49:54we could just take things slow.
00:49:58And like that?
00:50:24As much as I'd like to press you against a wall right now,
00:50:27we still have things to take care of.
00:50:29Yeah.
00:50:29Yeah, and I still have a data presentation to get done.
00:50:32They're offering a promotion and a paid vacation to the one who secures the biggest deal.
00:50:39I can't wait to watch you win.
00:50:42Why don't you go get some rest for that presentation?
00:50:44I'll take care of the dishes.
00:51:10I'll take care of the dishes.
00:51:15It secures J&R the biggest deal of the year.
00:51:18Consider it recognition of our top-tier players who help raise us up instead of those who help drag us
00:51:27down.
00:51:27Well, you're looking at the winner right here.
00:51:30Then in that case, why don't we start with you, Christopher?
00:51:33Gladly.
00:51:42As you can see, I have been working...
00:51:44That's my data!
00:51:53As you can see here, I have been working tirelessly to secure our company's biggest deal to date with the
00:52:00Noxley Group.
00:52:01Well, that is very impressive, Christopher. Thank you.
00:52:04I guess I know how to get things done.
00:52:05I made that deal.
00:52:07Okay, Christopher had Lacey steal my presentation before it was finished.
00:52:10Ms. Thorne, will you please sit down and stop interrupting? Thank you.
00:52:17Christopher, give us more insight on how you managed to secure a donation from the Noxley Group?
00:52:24I just talked to them. Nicely.
00:52:26I'm naturally charismatic.
00:52:29And how much were they offering?
00:52:30A lot.
00:52:3220 million.
00:52:34You look confused.
00:52:35Did you not prepare this presentation?
00:52:38My assistant.
00:52:41I just put in the data that I was given.
00:52:45Christopher, if this is your project, why don't you know the data?
00:52:47Because it's my data.
00:52:49I made the deal, and I can prove it.
00:52:54Check the logs.
00:52:56I'm the one who scheduled the meeting between Marie and Noxley Group.
00:52:59You're fucked.
00:53:02I'm looking at the appointment schedules, and your name isn't even on the list, Christopher.
00:53:08Okay, well, this is a joke.
00:53:10She must have gone in and changed the schedule.
00:53:12Nobody can change the schedule except the members of the board.
00:53:17Pull up the contract.
00:53:19Will you please take a quick look at something?
00:53:23Ms. Thorne, if what you're saying is correct, why don't you tell me what is the amount?
00:53:32$35 million.
00:53:34That's very interesting, Ms. Thorne.
00:53:36I might have misjudged you.
00:53:39Christopher, however, looks like you've stolen someone else's work, and you have lied to the board.
00:53:46You are a disgrace.
00:53:49I have half a mind to fire you right this second.
00:53:52This is ridiculous.
00:53:53Marie was nothing until she married me.
00:53:56If anything, you should be thanking me for finally making her relevant.
00:53:58You didn't make her anything.
00:54:01All you did was use her.
00:54:02You were playing a dangerous game.
00:54:05No, I'm playing a fair one.
00:54:06Well, then you better watch out.
00:54:07Or what?
00:54:09What, are you going to take away my money and my house and any shred of love for you I
00:54:12have left?
00:54:13Too late, Christopher.
00:54:17Thanks.
00:54:23Blake said he would meet me here.
00:54:33I've had enough of this.
00:54:34I've had enough of you.
00:54:40You are a leech.
00:54:42You could have walked away quietly.
00:54:44But now, I have to teach you a lesson for ruining my goddamn life.
00:54:51I have to teach you a lesson so that you stop ruining my god...
00:54:57She's used goods.
00:54:59I was just taking out the trash.
00:55:03Stop!
00:55:04I already pulled the cops.
00:55:06This isn't over.
00:55:08I'm still going to become CEO and get back at you for humiliating me.
00:55:17Oh, my God.
00:55:19Let's go.
00:55:23I can't believe you punched your own brother to save my life.
00:55:27I wasn't going to let him hurt you.
00:55:30I didn't think he would take it that far.
00:55:38Your hands are rough.
00:55:48They can be gentle, too.
00:56:05I don't care what happens to me.
00:56:07Hmm.
00:56:09As long as you're safe in my arms.
00:56:10Well, considering you are the main host of the charity gala,
00:56:14I think you need to look good.
00:56:16Another thing I don't care about.
00:56:18You should.
00:56:19You know what I think would look good?
00:56:22You and my arm.
00:56:24That's my date.
00:56:25Maybe next year.
00:56:26When I'm divorced and you are the CEO.
00:56:30I don't like waiting.
00:56:31It's just for a little while.
00:56:33Besides, I'm really enjoying my job.
00:56:35I like my boss.
00:56:37Really?
00:56:38Mm-hmm.
00:56:39You should tell me a little more.
00:57:07I don't care.
00:57:13I don't care.
00:58:04What the hell do you want, Lacey?
00:58:06Christopher used me.
00:58:11I don't believe you.
00:58:13Because you've pulled this stunt before.
00:58:15But I can get you the proof that you need to take him down in the divorce.
00:58:17I don't need you for that.
00:58:19Trust me, you do.
00:58:22Do you want to know how I found out where you're staying at?
00:58:25He has files on you.
00:58:26He hired private investigators.
00:58:28Leave!
00:58:29Okay, I don't ever want to talk to you again.
00:58:32Christopher has been sneaking out your place for days.
00:58:35Trying to catch you and Blake.
00:58:37What do you get out of coming here?
00:58:39Do you need more ammo to use against me?
00:58:43I won't let him use me just to throw me awake.
00:58:47Okay, not anymore.
00:58:50Okay, fine.
00:58:52We're going to do this my way, though.
00:58:54Okay?
00:58:56Okay?
00:59:12You can't just throw me away like this!
00:59:14I've done so much for you!
00:59:16You're so clean!
00:59:17I never should have gotten with you in the first place.
00:59:20You can't say that!
00:59:21I can say whatever the hell I want because I am a Jameson and you are just a nobody.
00:59:28But I love you!
00:59:29Haven't I proven that?
00:59:31Don't you understand?
00:59:32I never loved Marie.
00:59:34And I certainly never loved you!
00:59:38I betrayed my best friend for you.
00:59:41You had me convinced that she was horrible!
00:59:43You wanted to frame that bitch for cheating just as much as I did!
00:59:53I have proof that he faked the cheating video.
01:00:02Was that enough proof for you?
01:00:04I have to give it to you.
01:00:06That was pretty convincing.
01:00:08So, you forgive me?
01:00:11Forgive you?
01:00:12The betrayal of a husband, that's one thing.
01:00:14But the betrayal of a best friend who I've known my whole life?
01:00:17That's a completely different matter, Lacey.
01:00:20But you know what?
01:00:21Doesn't matter.
01:00:23You know how horrible Christopher is, so now you can get away.
01:00:26I never thought he would do the same thing.
01:00:31You were right the whole time.
01:00:32I warned you about him, Lacey.
01:00:59This gala is fabulous, Blake.
01:01:02Your father would be foolish not to name you CEO.
01:01:05Ah, well, thank you.
01:01:07But I could hardly take credit.
01:01:09Marie did all the planning and decorations, so.
01:01:16Hello.
01:01:17Hello, everyone.
01:01:18I would like to welcome you all to our annual charity gala.
01:01:28Now, let me introduce to you our host for the evening, our CFO and my son, Blake Jameson.
01:01:50Thank you, Dad.
01:01:52It's been a great year here at JR Court.
01:01:56And I hope you enjoyed the casino, because all of its proceedings will be donated to children's charity.
01:02:02Because J&R takes pride in giving back to the community.
01:02:10Now, before we go on, I would love to introduce a very special guest tonight.
01:02:16It should be me up there.
01:02:18This is all Marie's fault.
01:02:21No.
01:02:22You know what, Christopher?
01:02:24It's your fault.
01:02:26I'm leaving you.
01:02:27What?
01:02:28Are you kidding?
01:02:31Ridiculous.
01:02:32Jesus.
01:02:40We did not discuss having a special guest.
01:02:43This better be good.
01:02:44Oh, it will be.
01:02:46Please welcome to the stage, Robert Grant.
01:02:55Why does that guy look familiar?
01:02:57Is this some elaborate joke?
01:03:00Marie, why don't you give me a hand with this one?
01:03:06Wait, hold on.
01:03:07Wait, hold on.
01:03:09This is the man who slept with my wife.
01:03:12What the hell is he doing here?
01:03:19Chris, dude, stop.
01:03:21Your brother here paid me twice the amount to confess.
01:03:24That video that you all saw of Marie and me, it was all staged.
01:03:31Christopher Jameson paid me to frame Marie for cheating on him.
01:03:35No.
01:03:36That is a lie.
01:03:38He is her lover.
01:03:39And now she has seduced my brother.
01:03:42The contract is right here.
01:03:44I'm going to leave it up to you guys to decide.
01:03:50And I have more proof right here.
01:03:52Christopher confessed to it all.
01:03:56Give me that.
01:04:02There.
01:04:03There's definitely no proof now.
01:04:05You didn't think that we'd be dumb enough not to make a copy of it, did you, Christy boy?
01:04:09You take a look at that.
01:04:11Check that out.
01:04:13Dad, don't watch that.
01:04:14You wanted to frame that cheating bitch just as much as I did.
01:04:18It's all true.
01:04:20It's all true.
01:04:22I should have disowned you years ago.
01:04:26Dad, daddy, what about my inheritance?
01:04:29Your inheritance?
01:04:31Fuck your inheritance.
01:04:32You lost that the second you framed your wife for cheating.
01:04:37Oh, my God.
01:04:39Security!
01:04:39Get in here.
01:04:41Take this piece of garbage out of my sight.
01:04:43I never want to see you again.
01:04:49You wasted five years of my life.
01:04:51You broke my trust in people and you stole my money.
01:04:54I'm taking it all back now.
01:04:58Please.
01:05:01I could put you in jail for everything that you've done.
01:05:04The video of you from the gala already went viral.
01:05:06So what else do you want from me?
01:05:08I want my money from the accounts that you stole.
01:05:10I want the house.
01:05:11I want the car that I paid for.
01:05:12And then I want to divorce you.
01:05:14Don't try to drag this out, Chris.
01:05:17It's not going to end well for you.
01:05:19Just sign the contract and then we're done.
01:05:21And then you can go and pick up the pieces of your miserable life.
01:05:40You want me?
01:05:43I don't know where you can stop us.
01:05:50No.
01:05:51No.
01:05:51No.
01:05:52No.
01:05:53No.
01:05:53No.
01:05:54No.
01:05:54No.
01:05:55No.
01:05:56No.
01:05:57No.
01:05:57No.
01:05:58No.
01:05:58No.
01:05:58No.
01:06:00No.
01:06:11No.
01:06:19No.
01:06:23No.
01:06:29I've wanted you for so long
01:06:33Now I finally have you
01:06:36I'm yours
01:06:49Thank you
01:06:50For helping me
01:06:52I really am sorry
01:06:54I never should have hurt you
01:06:56The way that I did
01:06:57No, you shouldn't have
01:06:59But I forgive you, Lacey
01:07:06You two really are great together
01:07:09I hope Bradley sees that too
01:07:21Well, speaking of my father
01:07:22He wants to see us in his office
01:07:24Okay
01:07:25Do you have your special speech ready?
01:07:27You bet
01:07:28I'm gonna tell him
01:07:29You better keep Marie
01:07:31Because she's our best employee
01:07:32Alright
01:07:33And if he doesn't
01:07:34I'm turning in my resignation
01:07:35I love it
01:07:37Let's go
01:07:42Miss Thorne
01:07:43We have some unfinished business
01:07:58I owe you an apology
01:08:02I have treated you horribly for months
01:08:05And if I had known the truth
01:08:07I would have welcomed you with open arms a long time ago
01:08:11I'm sorry
01:08:11Thank you, sir
01:08:13I know you were just looking out for your family
01:08:15Call me Bradley
01:08:18And you
01:08:19It's time for me to step down
01:08:22And you have proven yourself more than capable of handling this company
01:08:27So I'm honored
01:08:29To name you as the new CEO
01:08:33Congratulations, son
01:08:36Thank you
01:08:39I'll gladly accept on one condition
01:08:41Oh
01:08:42What's that?
01:08:44You have to accept Marie into our family
01:08:47What do you mean?
01:09:00Marie
01:09:02There were so many years
01:09:03Where the love that I dreamed of
01:09:05Was simply
01:09:07Out of reach
01:09:09But you found your way to me anyway
01:09:12And I love you
01:09:14Very much
01:09:16Will you marry me?
01:09:18I love you too
01:09:19And of course
01:09:20Of course I'll marry you
01:09:33All right, well
01:09:34Welcome back into the Jameson family
01:09:38For my first act as CEO
01:09:40I'm announcing an engagement party
01:09:42To celebrate the perfect woman
01:09:46I love you
01:10:01Thank you
01:10:01Thank you
