00:20:12to meet you
00:20:12sounds like someone did their homework dug up my family ties too
00:20:15well assistant director technically but hey if this deal goes well who knows
00:20:19maybe i finally get that corner office with a little help from someone as uh
00:20:22well connected as you let's just say i like to know who i'm working with come on
00:20:26mr brown's mr brown's expecting you
00:20:32okay
00:20:33yeah
00:20:52damn missed it we'll just catch the next one wouldn't have missed it if that old hag hadn't seen my
00:20:57floor
00:20:57slowed us down. Bet that contract would be signed by now too. Ugh. This whole day's cursed. Old
00:21:04hag? What happened? Oh, we just ran into some filthy beaner at the coffee shop. Smelled like
00:21:09she hadn't showered in months. The old rat even had the nerve to steal my bracelet, but luckily
00:21:15I caught her. These bottom feeders really think the world owes them something. Always stealing
00:21:21shit right and left. We fired a janitor just yesterday. Caught her trying to make off with
00:21:26a company laptop. What this country needs is a real cleanup. Someone should be sending
00:21:33these low-class leeches as far away as possible. All they're good for is dragging down society
00:21:40and driving up crime rates. Right? I feel gross just breathing the same air as them.
00:21:48Alright, enough talk about those riffraff. Let's go close this deal.
00:22:02Mr. Brown, the meeting's about to start. Right. On my way. Just hang out here and relax,
00:22:09okay? I'll be back right after this meeting. Do what you need to do, sweetheart. Don't worry
00:22:13about me. By the way, where's Vivian? I thought I'd get to meet her today. Oh, she's drowning
00:22:19in last-minute prep for the engagement party. And she's got a meeting later too. But as soon
00:22:23as we're both free, I'm bringing her up to meet you. Well, you two workaholics really
00:22:26are made for each other. Go on, then.
00:22:31My boy, even on his engagement day, he's still working his tail off. And he found himself
00:22:36a fiancé who's just like him. I just know they'll build a beautiful life together.
00:22:53Mr. Brown, your guests have arrived.
00:22:57Good morning, Mr. Brown. I'm Lisa Smith, sales manager at 3CF.
00:23:04Move it, hobo! You're stinking up the whole shop!
00:23:08Please! Somebody get security! This old lady just stole my bracelet!
00:23:13I'm so sorry we're late, Mr. Brown. I hope we haven't upset you.
00:23:17Yes, sir, we...
00:23:22You two?
00:23:23This is Roger Brown's office. That's his chair. And she... she's sitting in it.
00:23:28Oh, God. Is she really his mother? I'm dead!
00:23:31I'm sorry. I didn't know. I had no idea you were telling the truth!
00:23:35Boss, why are you apologizing to her? She's just some filthy thief.
00:23:40Shh! That's Mr. Brown's mother, you idiot. How else would she be sitting in his office?
00:23:47Oh, my God. She wasn't lying.
00:23:54I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:24:01Ma'am, it was all just a misunderstanding, really. This deal with W.D., it means everything to me.
00:24:09I'll make it up to you however you want. Just please don't let this affect the contract.
00:24:13Yes, absolutely. We're very sorry for how we behaved earlier.
00:24:17It's fine. If you're working with Raj's partners, and I know he sees his partners as friends, I won't say
00:24:25anything to him.
00:24:27Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you, ma'am.
00:24:31Pardon me, Ms. Smith, but I think you've got the wrong person.
00:24:33This woman here isn't the CEO's mother. Mr. Brown's mom got lost on her way over. She's not even here
00:24:38yet.
00:24:38What? Really?
00:24:41Yes. And plus, just look at this broke, wrinkled woman. What a sorry sight.
00:24:47Roger Brown would never let his mother walk in here looking like a damn stray dog.
00:24:53That's right. Roger's mom is here to attend his engagement party.
00:24:57Sure, maybe she'd prefer to stay low-key, but there's no way she'd show up looking like some soggy gutter
00:25:02rat.
00:25:03Unbelievable. What's your deal? You crusty old leech? You stalking us now or something?
00:25:08Mr. Davis, this is her. That filthy thief who stole my bracelet at the cafe.
00:25:14And now she's snuck into the Westream headquarters.
00:25:18What?
00:25:20Nasty old bitch. Mrs. Smith here is the cousin of Westream's VP.
00:25:26You really thought you could mess with her and get away with it? Someone ought to put you in your
00:25:30place.
00:25:31I didn't steal anything, sir. And I really am Roger's mother.
00:25:38You're putting up a front, huh? You think you can just strut in here and slap a fake name on
00:25:42yourself?
00:25:43Who the hell are you anyways? Trash like you never should have gotten past security.
00:25:48No, no, no, no.
00:25:53See?
00:25:55Roger brought me here.
00:25:56I'm his mother, I swear.
00:26:00Again with the lies?
00:26:01I've never seen such a shameless bullshitter in my life.
00:26:05Answer me!
00:26:06What the fuck are you doing in Mr. Brown's office?
00:26:12I'm telling the truth.
00:26:13I didn't do anything wrong.
00:26:15Oh, I know.
00:26:16She's here to steal.
00:26:18What else would a serial thief be doing in the CEO's office?
00:26:21Oh, exactly.
00:26:23She's just in here snooping around for his valuables.
00:26:26No, no, I'm not.
00:26:29I was just resting here while Roger's in a meeting.
00:26:32Wait, now I remember.
00:26:33You're the janitor we fired yesterday for stealing that laptop, aren't you?
00:26:37You're mad you got sacked.
00:26:39So now you're back to rob us blind.
00:26:41Don't go easy on her, Mr. Davis.
00:26:43Stealing my bracelet's one thing, but laying her hands on company property?
00:26:46That's on a whole different level.
00:26:47What a golden opportunity.
00:26:49If I catch her stealing from the CEO's office, that promotion's practically mine.
00:27:04Hand the stolen goods over.
00:27:06Now!
00:27:07I didn't steal anything.
00:27:10And I'm not that janitor you're talking about.
00:27:14Yeah, right.
00:27:14You poor folk are all the same.
00:27:16Get fired one day, come crawling back the next.
00:27:19Thought you'd make off with some loot?
00:27:21Not with me around, you won't.
00:27:22Please, why don't you believe me?
00:27:25Stupid old cow really almost had me fooled earlier.
00:27:28And to think I fucking apologized to her.
00:27:31I'm not walking away until this bitch gets eviscerated.
00:27:35Mr. Davis, women like her aren't just shitty employees.
00:27:39They're treacherous scammers who lie and cheat their way to life.
00:27:44You need to knock her down a peg.
00:27:46Damn straight.
00:27:47People like her are rotten from birth.
00:27:50They're the lowest form of humanity.
00:27:53So we might as well treat them like it.
00:27:56I didn't...
00:27:57I didn't steal anything.
00:28:00And no one's born rotten.
00:28:02They just get corrupted by violent, immoral people like you.
00:28:07You think you're in a position to lecture us?
00:28:10You don't know shit about how the world works.
00:28:12I'm Roger's mother.
00:28:14I tried to...
00:28:16Jesus, you're a broken fucking record.
00:28:18Fine.
00:28:18If you can't keep the CEO's name out that dirty mouth of yours,
00:28:21I'll just have to shut it.
00:28:39Disguising herself as the CEO's family just to get a free lunch?
00:28:43She should have known this could only end one way.
00:28:46Seriously, we're hip to your tricks, you pathetic liar.
00:28:52You still the boss's mom now?
00:28:54Yeah, that's what I thought you'd fucking see.
00:28:59I'm finally meeting Roger's mom later today.
00:29:02What do you think would make the best gift?
00:29:04Well, I'm sure Mr. Brown's mother is a very distinguished, worldly woman.
00:29:09You should go with something high-end.
00:29:12Something befitting for a woman of her stature that also shows your sincerity.
00:29:16Good call.
00:29:18Ooh, these vintage earrings are nice.
00:29:21But do they feel a little too...
00:29:24Old-fashioned?
00:29:26Don't overthink it, Mrs. Thomas.
00:29:27She's gonna love whatever you give her.
00:29:29How can I not overthink this?
00:29:31Lucy, you only get one first impression.
00:29:34If I want to lock down Roger, winning his mom over is the first step.
00:29:37Ma'am, you're already his fiancé.
00:29:40I'm pretty sure you have him locked down already.
00:29:42That's where you're wrong, Lucy.
00:29:44The competition never ends.
00:29:46If you don't stay one step ahead, you lose.
00:29:49Learn that early, and someday you'll be the one giving orders.
00:29:53Wrap these earrings up for me.
00:29:59Do you handle this one simple task?
00:30:03I'm sorry.
00:30:05Fuck you.
00:30:11Babe, listen.
00:30:13I had another meeting come up last minute, so I'm gonna be late to my appointment with your cousin, Lisa.
00:30:18Can you meet with her and sign the contract for me?
00:30:21Of course, sweetheart.
00:30:22Anything you need.
00:30:23And hey, I finished all the prep for tonight's engagement party.
00:30:27I really hope your mom has a good time.
00:30:29Don't worry.
00:30:30She's gonna love it.
00:30:31All right, then.
00:30:32See you in a bit, Mr. Busy B.
00:30:37Mr. Brown, here are the briefing materials for your next meeting.
00:30:41Sir, the finance world is buzzing with news again today.
00:30:44Everyone's dying to know who's really behind Westream.
00:30:47I was thinking, maybe it's time you finally let the cat out the bag.
00:30:50At the very least, it would drive up sales and bring more publicity to new products.
00:30:54Emily, you know me.
00:30:56I want this company judged by the quality of its products, not by who owns it.
00:31:01That's why I stay out of the spotlight.
00:31:02Sir, I know you started out as the hardworking CEO who was always in the trenches with the rest of
00:31:07the staff.
00:31:08But you bought Westream outright three years ago.
00:31:11People deserve to know, especially people inside the company.
00:31:14Come on.
00:31:14My title doesn't matter to our employees.
00:31:16The one person who deserves to know is Vivian.
00:31:18I'll tell her tonight.
00:31:19Now that we're getting married, there should be no secrets between us.
00:31:22She's gonna be florbed when she hears the news.
00:31:28Just hope she doesn't pass out on me.
00:31:38Talk!
00:31:39What the hell did you steal?
00:31:41You're not walking out of this room until you hand it over!
00:31:45Yeah, I can understand a cheap old hag like you taking my bracelet.
00:31:49But stealing from a trillion dollar corporation?
00:31:53That's not a game you want to play.
00:31:54I didn't steal anything.
00:31:57Fucking hell!
00:31:58She must really love getting beaten.
00:32:09Stop!
00:32:18What the hell are you all doing in Roger's office?
00:32:33I'm sorry.
00:32:34Miss Thomas.
00:32:39Vivian!
00:32:40What's going on in here?
00:32:41We caught that fucking bean all snooping around in here, that's what.
00:32:44Mr. Davis was just getting her to hand over what she stole.
00:32:48That's right, ma'am.
00:32:49She's that thieving janitor we fired yesterday.
00:32:51She just snuck back in, probably trying to rob the place to get back at us.
00:32:55I was just in the middle of interrogating her.
00:33:04Don't let her dirty up Roger's office.
00:33:07Understood, ma'am.
00:33:10Vivian, it's me.
00:33:19Roger's mother.
00:33:21You?
00:33:22You're Roger's mother?
00:33:23Yes.
00:33:24He showed me your picture.
00:33:26I recognized you right away.
00:33:30Holy shit.
00:33:32Is she actually the boss's mom?
00:33:35But wait.
00:33:36Miss Thomas doesn't look too convinced.
00:33:39Maybe that old hag's just bluffing again.
00:33:42God, is she for real?
00:33:43Fuck.
00:33:44Whatever, Mr. Davis is the one that smacked her around anyways.
00:33:47If it gets messy, I'll just dump the blame on him.
00:33:49Vivian, please.
00:33:51Talk to them for me.
00:33:53Tell them I'm not a thief.
00:33:54I've never stolen anything in my life.
00:33:58Hold on a second.
00:34:01Hold on a second.
00:34:02You said you saw a photo of me, so which one was it then?
00:34:05It was one from you and Roger's vacation last month.
00:34:09You were standing on the beach.
00:34:11Well, that tracks.
00:34:12We spent a few days at an island resort last month.
00:34:16I'm sorry.
00:34:16I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:34:18I didn't know.
00:34:18I can't believe I thought you were an intruder.
00:34:20A thief.
00:34:21God, I'm a first-class fool.
00:34:23Oh, God.
00:34:24I've really done it now.
00:34:25No, wait.
00:34:26I'm not going down like this.
00:34:28I cannot lose this fucking contract.
00:34:30Vivian, please.
00:34:32It's the CEO's office, you know?
00:34:34I was just being careful.
00:34:35I never meant to offend anyone.
00:34:37Just don't hold it against me, okay?
00:34:38Here, I'll apologize to her right now.
00:34:40Not yet.
00:34:45If you really saw my photo, then tell me, what color dress was I wearing?
00:34:50I think it was blue.
00:34:53I can't remember exactly, but I saw it.
00:34:57I swear.
00:34:58Roger sent it to me.
00:35:03Was it this one?
00:35:05Yes.
00:35:06The one he sent me looked just like that, right?
00:35:10It was a white dress.
00:35:11Of course.
00:35:13You're not Roger's mother.
00:35:15You're lying.
00:35:17That photo was taken by the paparazzi.
00:35:18Why would Roger send you that instead of one of the hundreds of selfies of us on his phone?
00:35:23You just saw it in a tabloid and tried to use it as evidence that you know me.
00:35:27That's it.
00:35:27Tell me who the hell you really are.
00:35:29No, the one he sent me.
00:35:31It wasn't that exact photo.
00:35:33I think Roger took it himself.
00:35:35Here, I have it saved.
00:35:45Quit pretending.
00:35:46A woman like you, you don't even have the right to utter Roger's name, let alone call yourself his mother.
00:35:52Please, I'm his mother.
00:35:55What do I have to do to make you believe me?
00:35:58Shut it.
00:35:59Look at yourself.
00:36:00If you're going to say you're the CEO's mom, at least dress like it.
00:36:04One more word about my fiancé or his mom and I'll have security drag you out by your fucking hair.
00:36:13Brody old hag.
00:36:15First you steal company property, and now you're trying to impersonate the CEO's mother?
00:36:20No.
00:36:21Please just listen to me.
00:36:24Worthless fucking fossil.
00:36:26If it wasn't for you, I'd have my contract signed by now.
00:36:29Mrs. Thomas, how do you suggest we handle this piece of human filthy?
00:36:33Vivian, trespassing in the CEO's office is a serious offense.
00:36:37She needs to be punished accordingly.
00:36:38Exactly.
00:36:39Just scavenging around for cash is one thing.
00:36:41But what if she gets her hands on some confidential corporate intel?
00:36:44That's a federal crime.
00:36:46I told you I didn't take anything.
00:36:49Roger will clear this out.
00:36:51Just let me go, Gim.
00:36:53She's trying to escape.
00:36:54Stop her!
00:36:56Making a run for it, are we?
00:36:57You're not going anywhere, Grandma.
00:36:59Let me go.
00:37:00I'm just going to see my son.
00:37:08There!
00:37:08Now she'll finally shut up.
00:37:13Want me to search her?
00:37:14See what she's trying to run off with?
00:37:15Not here.
00:37:16Roger would be none too pleased if we made a mess of his office.
00:37:19Have security take her out, and tell them to strip her down if they have to.
00:37:23Security!
00:37:25Yes, sir.
00:37:26Take this filthy hag downstairs and search every inch of her.
00:37:30And if she's trying to smuggle anything out, make sure she pays for it.
00:37:38Wait!
00:37:38Cover her face.
00:37:39I don't want her seeing anything else in the building.
00:37:42For all we know, she's here to spy on us and leak secrets to our competitors.
00:37:46Great call, ma'am.
00:37:47You're the VP for a reason.
00:37:49Go with them.
00:37:50If they find anything, update me immediately.
00:37:53Also, keep this whole thing on the down low.
00:37:56Roger's mom will be here soon, and we don't want anything sourning her arrival.
00:37:59Understood.
00:38:10Stop.
00:38:12What's this all about?
00:38:14Oh, Mr. Brown.
00:38:15This is part of a workplace security drill.
00:38:18Just a simulation exercise, sir.
00:38:20Girl, come on!
00:38:25Who's under the bag?
00:38:26Oh, just someone we hired.
00:38:29We're using a professional actor to roleplay an intruder for the drill.
00:38:33You know, to make it more realistic.
00:38:35Realism's fine, but don't go too rough on that actor.
00:38:37I don't want anyone getting hurt.
00:38:38Of course, sir.
00:38:39We're being careful.
00:38:41Oh!
00:38:42Oh!
00:38:56Mr. Brown, wait.
00:38:57The bag's filthy.
00:38:58You shouldn't touch it.
00:38:59Then why the hell is it over someone's head?
00:39:01I don't care if it's just a drill.
00:39:03You can't treat people like garbage.
00:39:06Take it off.
00:39:07Sir, sir, she asked for it.
00:39:09Said it'd help her get into the role.
00:39:11We paid her extra.
00:39:12She wanted to go all in.
00:39:15If that's what she asked for, then fine.
00:39:17But don't push it.
00:39:24Move.
00:39:25Now.
00:39:32Better keep quiet, you dried-up bitch.
00:39:34One more sound and I'll shut you up for good.
00:39:36Whoa!
00:39:45Hold her right there.
00:39:51I forgot to ask about Vivian.
00:39:53Everything good on her end?
00:39:54Yes, sir.
00:39:55She's handling the contract signing of 3CF right now.
00:39:58And once that's done, she'll head straight to the engagement party.
00:40:01The venue's all set up and ready to go.
00:40:03Good.
00:40:08Vivian, today has been nothing but chaos.
00:40:10What do you say we call Roger over and have him sign before anything else comes up?
00:40:15No need for that.
00:40:16Roger already put me in charge of this deal.
00:40:18I came here to sign on his behalf.
00:40:20Really?
00:40:21Oh my god, thank you!
00:40:25Not bad, Lisa.
00:40:26Your work's improving.
00:40:28At this rate, 3CF will be promoting you in no time.
00:40:31Well, hey, I'll have you to thank for giving me my big break.
00:40:33This contract is huge for me.
00:40:36Let me grab a pen.
00:40:38You're all invited to the engagement party tonight.
00:40:40Roger's mom is coming to town for the first time, and I'm sure she would love to meet you.
00:40:44Miss Thomas, thank you.
00:40:45It's truly an honor.
00:40:46This contract's just the beginning.
00:40:48I'll be relying on you and Lisa to stay on top of things from here on out.
00:40:51Absolutely, Mayhem.
00:40:52You can count on us.
00:41:04What kind of pen is it?
00:41:06It's diamond-stettled.
00:41:08I had it custom-made for his birthday.
00:41:10He always keeps it here.
00:41:11Diamond-stettled?
00:41:12Shit, that's got to be worth, like, five figures.
00:41:17Wait, do you think...
00:41:20That thief!
00:41:21I knew she was up to no good.
00:41:23You two hold tight.
00:41:24I'll bring her back here right now.
00:41:27Look what the cat dragged in, Mrs. Thomas.
00:41:36Did Roger clear everything up?
00:41:39Did he tell you who I am?
00:41:41You thieving hag!
00:41:42You think we don't know why you came here?
00:41:44Hand over the damn pen!
00:41:45What?
00:41:46What pen?
00:41:50Cut the act, Grandma.
00:41:52You stole the CEO's diamond-stretched pen,
00:41:54a birthday gift to Mr. Brown from the vice president herself.
00:41:57That thing's priceless.
00:41:58I don't know what you're talking about.
00:42:00I promise you, I've never even seen that pen.
00:42:03You lying sack of shit!
00:42:05We were going to use that pen to sign my fucking contract.
00:42:07Hand it over!
00:42:08I don't have it.
00:42:09Please, this is all a mistake.
00:42:11No, I didn't take Roger's pen.
00:42:12You've got this all wrong.
00:42:14Hold her down.
00:42:18Of all the things to steal, you pick my most precious gift to Roger?
00:42:22You'll be lucky to walk out of here alive.
00:42:24Stop!
00:42:25Why are you doing this?
00:42:26Why won't any of you believe me?
00:42:28Are you kidding?
00:42:30Everything about you literally screams, I'm a thief!
00:42:33Quit your whining and hand over Mr. Brown's pen.
00:42:36Maybe then we'll let you out in one piece.
00:42:41I don't have it.
00:42:43I swear to God, I don't have it.
00:42:47Stubborn old bitch!
00:42:48You think we're just fucking around here?
00:42:50Get me a bucket of water!
00:42:52Now!
00:42:57Lift her up.
00:43:03That pen isn't just expensive.
00:43:06It's the first gift I ever gave Roger.
00:43:08It's irreplaceable.
00:43:09So you better cough it up now before I go apeshit on your ass.
00:43:12I didn't take it.
00:43:22Hey, babe.
00:43:24Hey, just checking in.
00:43:26How's the contract signing going?
00:43:27All good so far.
00:43:28We'll be done any minute now.
00:43:32Roger.
00:43:33You have to save me.
00:43:38Was that mom?
00:43:41What was that?
00:43:42Oh, that sound?
00:43:43I was just changing the water in your vase, that's all.
00:43:47I could have sworn I just heard someone crying out for help.
00:43:55You must be overworked, babe.
00:43:57Maybe squeeze in a nap this afternoon, okay?
00:44:09Yeah, we'll see.
00:44:11Anyways, feel free to sweeten the deal with Lisa, as long as it's within reason, of course.
00:44:15You know, seeing as she's your cousin and all.
00:44:17That's so generous of you.
00:44:18She'll be thrilled.
00:44:20Roger, you're the best.
00:44:21Don't mention it.
00:44:26Wrinkly old bitch, you almost fucked this up for all of us.
00:44:29Get it through your head.
00:44:30No one's going to save you.
00:44:32Give us that damn pen right now, or I'll dunk your head again.
00:44:36And this time, you won't come back up.
00:44:39Are you fucking kidding me?
00:44:41I didn't steal.
00:44:43I'm not a thief.
00:44:46I've got the pen.
00:44:49Mr. Brown used it this morning to sign the quarterly records.
00:44:52He handed it to me right after.
00:44:56Oh, well, that explains it.
00:44:58I was afraid Roger lost it or something.
00:45:03Good to see you, Miss Anderson.
00:45:04Who is this lady?
00:45:06Why are you guys acting all weird around her?
00:45:09That's Emily Anderson, Roger's personal assistant.
00:45:12I know, not the highest position.
00:45:14But she's the only one in this entire building that knows who really owns the company.
00:45:26What's all this?
00:45:29And why are you all in the CEO's office?
00:45:32We're in the middle of catching a thief, Mrs. Anderson.
00:45:34This woman here snuck into Roger's office and tried to make off with some loot.
00:45:40That's not true.
00:45:41I'm not a thief.
00:45:43Shut the fuck up.
00:45:45You guys got proof?
00:45:46Um, not yet, but...
00:45:49Then nothing's confirmed.
00:45:51Listen, Westream has a security team.
00:45:54People whose job it is to deal with matters like this.
00:46:01This is the CEO's office, not a torture chamber.
00:46:05Yes, of course.
00:46:06Oh, by the way, Mr. Brown asked me to finalize the 3CF deal.
00:46:09We were just about to sign the contract.
00:46:11Yes, Miss Anderson.
00:46:12I'm Lisa Smith, the sales manager over at 3CF.
00:46:15We're here today to lock in the partnership.
00:46:18Mr. Brown's meeting should be wrapping up any minute.
00:46:20I suggest you all head to the banquet hall and wait for him there.
00:46:23Perfect.
00:46:24We'll bring the contract and sign it in the banquet hall.
00:46:26Escort her out.
00:46:27And give me a full report once they investigate her.
00:46:30Yes, ma'am.
00:46:31And get someone to clean up this mess.
00:46:33I want this room spotless.
00:46:35Yes, certainly.
00:46:39Let's go.
00:46:41Ma'am, we're going to need to take you in for questioning.
00:46:48What the fuck?
00:46:50What the hell are you doing to my mother?
00:46:55Sir, she was just...
00:46:57She's my mother!
00:47:09Ma'am, what the hell happened to you?
00:47:13Roger, I don't want to go to the party anymore.
00:47:16Can you just take me home?
00:47:20Did someone hurt you?
00:47:26Who did this?
00:47:30It was the vice president, sir.
00:47:33Vivian did this to her?
00:47:35But why?
00:47:36Vivian's cousin Lisa.
00:47:38She said your mom was a thief.
00:47:41I thought your fiancé would be warm, kind.
00:47:44But she...
00:47:45She's awful, Roger.
00:47:46I tried to tell her who I was, but she wouldn't listen.
00:47:49Un-fucking-believable.
00:47:51Tell Emily to prepare the car.
00:47:53We're going to the banquet now.
00:47:55Yes, sir.
00:48:17Boss, this engagement party is off the chain.
00:48:21Half the city's big names are here.
00:48:24Well, yeah, that's a given.
00:48:25Roger Brown's a rising star in the business world,
00:48:28and Vivian's parents are heavyweight investors in their own right.
00:48:31This isn't just some party, Jessica.
00:48:33It could shake up the whole damn stock market.
00:48:43Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas.
00:48:44Roger's a real catch.
00:48:46Vivian's done well for herself.
00:48:47I couldn't care less about his money or status.
00:48:50What matters is that my daughter's happy.
00:48:52Spoken like a true girl, Dad.
00:48:54You've always been her biggest supporter.
00:48:56Miss Thomas is here!
00:49:16Vivian, you look like a queen.
00:49:21Thank you all so much for being here on this special day.
00:49:24And please, enjoy the food and drinks.
00:49:26The ceremony will begin shortly.
00:49:33Mom, Dad, I'm so glad you could make it.
00:49:36We wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:49:39You look stunning.
00:49:40That's just because of the necklace I picked out for her.
00:49:44You like it, sweetheart?
00:49:47It's perfect, Dad.
00:49:50Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Roger Brown has arrived.
00:50:11Whoa, what the hell?
00:50:13Dude, he's pissed.
00:50:14That is not the face of a man who's about to get engaged.
00:50:18Right?
00:50:18He looks like he's here to throw hands, not throw a party.
00:50:22And why is he rolling up with bodyguards and shit?
00:50:24Man, the Thomas family isn't going to like this.
00:50:26To be honest, though, if I were the West Stream CEO, I'd probably be pulling power moves like that, too.
00:50:31Oh, come on.
00:50:31Let's not get carried away.
00:50:33The guy's a CEO, not a fucking royal prince.
00:50:35Exactly.
00:50:35He needs to slow his roll.
00:50:37This place is filled with people who rake in just as much as he does.
00:50:44So this is how you greet your elders, huh?
00:50:46With a scowl and a squad of bodyguards?
00:50:49Dad, relax.
00:50:50He probably just rushed over, that's all.
00:50:56Roger, what's wrong?
00:50:57Where's your mom?
00:51:15What the fuck are you doing here?
00:51:19You crusty old hag.
00:51:21This is an exclusive event, not a soup kitchen.
00:51:25Get the hell out!
00:51:29Mr. Brown?
00:51:31What was that for?
00:51:32You tell me.
00:51:35Oh, I get it.
00:51:37This granny must have fed you some sob story, right?
00:51:40Sir, trust me.
00:51:41Everything she told you was a lie.
00:51:42But don't worry, Mr. Brown.
00:51:44I'll put an end to this once and for all.
00:51:55Roger!
00:51:55What the hell has gotten into you?
00:51:57It's just like Jimmy said.
00:51:58This lady's a thief.
00:51:59A worthless street rat.
00:52:01So whatever you're doing, just stop.
00:52:02It's an insult to my parents and everyone else here.
00:52:05A thief?
00:52:05A street rat?
00:52:06As VP of Westream, that's your official assessment?
00:52:09Mr. Brown, I can vouch for Vivian.
00:52:12That woman's a thief.
00:52:21Roger, what the fuck is going on?
00:52:23Say it again, Lisa.
00:52:25Say it to my face.
00:52:27Who's the thief?
00:52:28Mr. Brown?
00:52:30There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
00:52:33Roger, enough.
00:52:34This place is full of VIP guests.
00:52:36It isn't the time for theatrics.
00:52:38Actually, I think it's the perfect time.
00:52:39Hand me the contract.
00:52:43You're fired.
00:52:45No, Mr. Brown.
00:52:47Please don't do this.
00:52:49After what you did to her, you can forget about ever partnering with Westream Corporation.
00:52:54You.
00:52:54You did this.
00:52:56You set me up.
00:52:57You conizing only.
00:52:58If I were you, I'd lower your goddamn finger.
00:53:00I didn't set you up.
00:53:01I didn't have to.
00:53:02You did what you did, and now you're facing the consequences.
00:53:05Roger, are you seriously humiliating my cousin over some binong?
00:53:08This cousin of yours brutalized a defenseless old woman, mocked her, dehumanized her, and accused her of theft with zero
00:53:13proof.
00:53:14Tell me, is that the type of person we should be doing business with?
00:53:17Accused her of theft?
00:53:18We all know that bitch stole my bracelet.
00:53:27Wait, this, this bracelet, you bought it?
00:53:31I bought it for the woman standing next to me, my mother.
00:53:39Roger, her?
00:53:42She's your mom?
00:53:43My future mother-in-law?
00:53:47Roger, I'm sorry.
00:53:49I, I, I didn't know.
00:53:50I had no clue she was your mother.
00:53:51This is the woman who raised me, fed me, tucked me into bed at night, and you have the nerve
00:53:56to suggest I'm just making all this up to humiliate your cousin?
00:54:00No, no.
00:54:02Roger, that's not what I meant.
00:54:07I'm so sorry, Mr. Brown.
00:54:09I didn't know she was your mother.
00:54:11I was wrong.
00:54:11I should have been more discerning.
00:54:13All I ask is that you give me one more chance.
00:54:16Yes, Mr. Brown.
00:54:17We didn't mean any harm.
00:54:19Just please, please don't ruin us over this.
00:54:25Mrs. Brown, I'm sorry.
00:54:29I didn't mean to disrespect you.
00:54:31Please forgive me.
00:54:33No.
00:54:33You're only apologizing because you found out she's my mother.
00:54:37If she were just a stranger, just another woman on the street, would you still begging for forgiveness like this?
00:54:44That's what I thought.
00:54:46Now get the hell out.
00:54:50Vivian, please!
00:54:52Say something!
00:54:53This contract is everything to me!
00:54:55I promised my boss I would seal the deal and it might go back empty-handed.
00:54:59He'll fire me!
00:55:03Lead, Lisa.
00:55:04We'll talk later.
00:55:09Please, Viv.
00:55:11Please don't do this to me.
00:55:13Just go.
00:55:20You two, out.
00:55:22Yes, Miss Thomas.
00:55:24Don't move!
00:55:26You're not just walking out of here after all that you did.
00:55:31Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry.
00:55:33I already regret how I treated you.
00:55:36Please, please show me some mercy.
00:55:43Take this criminal to the police station along with the surveillance footage from my office.
00:55:48Assaulting an elderly woman should land him a nice long vacation behind bars.
00:55:52Yes, sir.
00:55:54Mr. Brown, please!
00:55:56I screwed up.
00:55:57I swear I'll make it right.
00:55:58Get him out of my sight.
00:55:59Mr. Brown, I'm begging you.
00:56:01Whatever you want, I'll do it.
00:56:02Just please don't send me to jail!
00:56:11Mrs. Brown, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:56:14This was supposed to be a happy day, and I know things didn't go as planned, but I hope
00:56:18you won't hold it against me.
00:56:21Lucy, bring over the gift.
00:56:25I picked these out for you as a welcome gift.
00:56:27I hope you find them to your liking.
00:56:31Didn't go as planned?
00:56:33You and your cousin put my mother through a day straight from hell.
00:56:38But things just didn't go as planned?
00:56:41Roger, let it go.
00:56:43It was a misunderstanding.
00:56:45Okay, look at her.
00:56:45She's dressed up so beautifully tonight.
00:56:47All for you.
00:56:47No, it's not for me.
00:56:48It's just for show.
00:56:49Vivian, you looked down on my mom.
00:56:50You called her a street rat.
00:56:51So what does that make me, then?
00:56:52The street rat son that she worked day and night to raise by herself?
00:56:56Roger, please.
00:56:58The guests are all waiting.
00:57:00They didn't come here to see us bigger about personal matters like this.
00:57:04Let's just cut the cake and take photos, and then we'll talk after, okay?
00:57:14Bring out the cake.
00:57:20Roger, don't be mad, all right?
00:57:23We can sit down and talk it over after everyone leaves.
00:57:26For now, let's just put on a big smile and enjoy our perfect moment.
00:57:31Actually, you know what would make this moment perfect?
00:57:35Showing the guests hear every little thing you did to my mother.
00:57:53That pen isn't just expensive.
00:57:55It's the first gift I ever gave Roger.
00:57:58It's irreplaceable.
00:57:59So you better cough it up now before I go ape shit on your ass.
00:58:02I didn't take it.
00:58:06Oh, my God.
00:58:07Is that what it looks like?
00:58:09She's torturing her future mother-in-law?
00:58:11This is so much worse than I thought.
00:58:13She really could have hurt her.
00:58:15Wonder Roger lost it.
00:58:16That was my mom.
00:58:18Whoever did that to her would be in the hospital by now.
00:58:21Roger, please.
00:58:23Turn it off.
00:58:25No one was supposed to see this.
00:58:29So now you feel ashamed, huh?
00:58:32Where was this when you were busy trying to drown my mother?
00:58:35Roger, my parents are watching, for God's sake.
00:58:37What are you trying to do?
00:58:39Apologize to my mother right now.
00:58:41What?
00:58:41Babe, of course I'll apologize to her later.
00:58:43But I can't stand back and let you publicly humiliate me like this.
00:58:47You heard what I said.
00:58:48Don't make me repeat it.
00:58:50Mrs. Brown, please.
00:58:52Make him turn it off.
00:58:53You're a kind woman.
00:58:55You understand how bad this looks for me and my family, right?
00:59:00Roger, don't you think this has gone far enough?
00:59:03Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:05That's all.
00:59:06This is your big nay.
00:59:07Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:12Mom, you still want me to get engaged to this woman?
00:59:16Vivian and I just got off on the wrong foot.
00:59:18That's all.
00:59:18This is your big day.
00:59:19Let's forget about it and carry on with the party.
00:59:30Roger!
00:59:31What the hell was that?
00:59:33That's our big cake!
00:59:35Not anymore.
00:59:36The engagement's off.
00:59:38What?
00:59:41Enough!
00:59:42Who the hell are you to damage my daughter's reputation like this?
00:59:46If we played a video of your lowest moment in front of everyone,
00:59:49it would probably look just as bad.
00:59:51This is an unwarranted attack on the entire Thomas family.
00:59:56Exactly.
00:59:57First you broadcast that footage,
00:59:59then you trash the cake.
01:00:01What kind of man treats his own fiancé like this?
01:00:04The question you should be asking is,
01:00:06what kind of family raises their daughter to treat innocent people like that?
01:00:11Mrs. Thomas, please don't take this to heart.
01:00:13My son's just a little wound up there.
01:00:17Roger, you don't need to throw away your future over what happened with me.
01:00:22Vivian is my future now.
01:00:23She's my past.
01:00:25And that's set in stone.
01:00:26You arrogant bastard!
01:00:28Think you're some big shot, huh?
01:00:31You're just another wannabe tough guy in a suit!
01:00:35Dad, stop!
01:00:36He's the CEO!
01:00:40Who cares? He still answers to us!
01:00:43You think I'd let my daughter work under someone I didn't control?
01:00:49Vivian, Roger didn't make you the VP of West Dream.
01:00:53I did.
01:00:55And that's because I'm a shareholder of the company.
01:00:58Your uncles, Daniel and Cooper, they are too.
01:01:01Wait, wait.
01:01:02Dad, you're a West Dream shareholder?
01:01:06So I'm... I'm above all this?
01:01:11Roger, this changes everything.
01:01:17That's right, Vivian.
01:01:19We just closed a joint investment.
01:01:21You don't need to be afraid of Roger.
01:01:24He's just another salaried employee.
01:01:26He has no real power over you.
01:01:28Exactly.
01:01:29Roger's a cheap figurehead.
01:01:31He showed some promise at the start,
01:01:33so we overlooked his humble background,
01:01:35but now...
01:01:36Turns out he's an ungrateful, uncivilized scumbag.
01:01:39Don't waste your time with him, Vivian.
01:01:41You can do so much better.
01:01:43Roger's jeopardizing his marriage and his career because of me.
01:01:46No.
01:01:47I can't let this spiral any further.
01:01:50Mrs. Thomas, please.
01:01:52Don't let this little incident ruin their future together.
01:01:55Roger and Vivian, they're in love with each other.
01:01:58In love?
01:01:59Don't be ridiculous.
01:02:00I'm a shareholder's daughter,
01:02:03which means a janitor's son like Roger
01:02:05has no business standing anywhere near me.
01:02:08This relationship never should have happened in the first place.
01:02:11My daughter's brilliant and beautiful.
01:02:13Only someone like that mysterious West Dream owner
01:02:16would be worthy her.
01:02:19You know, that's a good point.
01:02:22I've heard our mystery owner is a real heartthrog.
01:02:26Vivian, I'll make sure to introduce you to him when the time's right.
01:02:31Thanks, Uncle Daniel.
01:02:32I'd like that.
01:02:40It's funny.
01:02:41I thought I said it pretty clearly the first time.
01:02:44Apologize to my mother right now.
01:02:47Did you not hear what my dad just said?
01:02:49He's a West Dream shareholder,
01:02:50and you're just some piss-poor beggar trying to fake it as a businessman.
01:02:54Want me to apologize to your crusty mom
01:02:55over my dead fucking body?
01:02:58And just why should I be so scared of your shareholder dad?
01:03:03Watch it, Roger.
01:03:04Don't make him put you in your place.
01:03:07Right, my place.
01:03:09I suppose it's the perfect time to show you all what that place is.
01:03:24Dad!
01:03:26Fire this arrogant prank!
01:03:28Now!
01:03:29Roger, I'm sick and tired of you disrespecting me in front of my guests!
01:03:33This is your last shot!
01:03:34Give us a public apology,
01:03:36or you can pack your damn things and get the hell out of West Dream!
01:03:39Oh, Roger, this is all my fault.
01:03:41Please.
01:03:43I don't want you to lose your job because of me.
01:03:48Mom, nothing is your fault.
01:03:50And don't worry.
01:03:51They don't have the authority to fire me.
01:03:53We don't, do we?
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:55This kid really thinks he's untouchable.
01:03:58Between Daniel, Cooper, and I,
01:04:00we own over 30% of West Dream,
01:04:02removing a placeholder CEO like him barely even calls for a meeting.
01:04:06True that.
01:04:07Roger's just some hot-headed chump in a nice suit.
01:04:11Still has no idea how the game works.
01:04:13If you know what's good for you,
01:04:15you'll hurry up and apologize.
01:04:17I'll apologize.
01:04:18I'll do it!
01:04:21No, Mom.
01:04:23You, you raised me.
01:04:24You've already done more than enough.
01:04:25You don't owe a thing to me or to these goons.
01:04:29But, Roger, these people,
01:04:31they hold your future in the palm of their hands.
01:04:35I just thought I might be able to help.
01:04:38I couldn't care less about who these people are.
01:04:41They mean nothing to me.
01:04:42All right, then I won't do it for you.
01:04:44I'll apologize on my own behalf.
01:04:52Mr. Thomas,
01:04:54I'm truly sorry for what transpired today.
01:04:57Please don't punish Roger for my mistakes.
01:04:59He can be stubborn sometimes,
01:05:01but he's a good man,
01:05:02a hard worker.
01:05:06God, Roger,
01:05:07I can see why Vivian thought your mother was a thief.
01:05:10She looks like she crawled out of a fucking dumpster.
01:05:13Not to mention she absolutely reeks.
01:05:16How could anyone not assume she's just some bottom feeder?
01:05:21What did you just say?
01:05:26Did I stutter?
01:05:28Don't tell me you've never noticed
01:05:29that your own mother looks like a grimy,
01:05:32street-side bum.
01:05:37Ah!
01:05:38Ah!
01:05:39Ah!
01:05:40Ah!
01:05:40Ah!
01:05:41Ah!
01:05:41Ah!
01:05:42Ah!
01:05:44Mom,
01:05:45ah!
01:05:46Stop pouring drinks for these ignorant fools.
01:05:48They don't deserve a shred of our respect.
01:05:55Watch your tone, Roger!
01:05:56Who the hell are you calling ignorant?
01:05:58You, that's who.
01:05:59A man so obsessed with flaunting his class
01:06:01that he doesn't realize how classless he really is.
01:06:04God damn you, Roger!
01:06:05That's my father you're talking to!
01:06:07I'm well aware.
01:06:09Keep pushing me,
01:06:10and next time I'll use my fists instead of words.
01:06:24Roger, sweetheart.
01:06:26You've worked too hard to throw it all away now.
01:06:30Don't let your temper get the best of you, okay?
01:06:32Just be the bigger person and apologize.
01:06:35Too late for that now.
01:06:39I'm contacting Emily.
01:06:40She'll call the board,
01:06:41and Roger will be out as CEO by nightfall.
01:06:44You have my full support.
01:06:45This is exactly the kind of hot-headed nonsense
01:06:47we warned the board about.
01:06:49He's done.
01:06:51Let him see what it feels like to wake up unemployed.
01:06:54Maybe then he'll learn to show some humility.
01:06:59Messaging Emily now.
01:07:01This asshole won't be talking shit anymore
01:07:03when he's out on the streets.
01:07:10Mr. Thomas, please,
01:07:12don't make any decisions you'll regret.
01:07:14I'll apologize for Roger.
01:07:16Just please let him keep his job.
01:07:19Roger, baby.
01:07:21Just swallow your pride and say sorry.
01:07:23You'll be glad you did.
01:07:25Mom, trust me.
01:07:26I'm going to be just fine.
01:07:28This is all my fault.
01:07:30If I hadn't come today,
01:07:32none of this would have happened.
01:07:34No, Mom.
01:07:35I should thank you.
01:07:38You helped me see the Thomases
01:07:40for who they really are.
01:07:41You'll be jobless in ten minutes, Roger.
01:07:44Maybe start updating your resume
01:07:45instead of playing Mr. Tough Guy.
01:07:58Just heard back from Emily.
01:08:03She's arranged for Westream's mystery owner
01:08:05to come here and settle this in person.
01:08:12Once this punk's gone,
01:08:13we'll nominate Vivian as the new CEO.
01:08:16You better believe it.
01:08:17Vivian's young, capable, driven.
01:08:20I guarantee she'll take us to the next level.
01:08:27Thank you, all of you.
01:08:28And I won't let you down.
01:08:30I'm going to be the best CEO
01:08:31Westream has ever had.
01:08:45Ugh, look at him.
01:08:47Still pretending like he has a job.
01:08:49Once my daughter's CEO,
01:08:50she'll clean house.
01:08:51That means everyone who might even think
01:08:53of vouching for Roger
01:08:54is getting sacked.
01:08:55If I were you,
01:08:56I'd be begging Vivian
01:08:57to show a little mercy.
01:08:58Who knows?
01:08:59It might save you from starving.
01:09:00Oh, that must be how you guys
01:09:01became shareholders.
01:09:02By graveling and begging for mercy
01:09:03like spinless cowards.
01:09:05Time's up, Roger.
01:09:06No more running your mouth.
01:09:07You have two options.
01:09:08Publicly apologize to my father
01:09:09or wait for the board members
01:09:10to fucking obliterate you.
01:09:11Please, Vivian.
01:09:12Think about how much you cared
01:09:13for Roger just yesterday.
01:09:14It's not worth ending his career
01:09:15over a fight.
01:09:16If an apology is what you want,
01:09:18then let me do it.
01:09:18I'll get on stage and scream it
01:09:19in front of all the guests
01:09:20if that's what it takes.
01:09:22Well, well.
01:09:23Let's see how sincere she really is.
01:09:28No, Mom.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30They're the ones who should be doing this,
01:09:31not you.
01:09:32You motherfucker.
01:09:34Sacking you isn't enough.
01:09:35We ought to beat you black and blue.
01:09:48Mrs. Anderson.
01:09:50Why are you alone?
01:09:51I thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54Where is he?
01:09:55Should I go pick him up myself?
01:09:56That won't be necessary.
01:09:58He's already nearby.
01:10:00Thought you were bringing the chairman.
01:10:03Roger, you have to stop being so impulsive.
01:10:07Your future matters more than my dignity.
01:10:09You're wrong, Mom.
01:10:10Nothing matters more than your dignity.
01:10:12Nothing.
01:10:13And plus,
01:10:15I'd be more worried about their future than mine.
01:10:18Don't get too cocky, kid.
01:10:20The whole board's already signed off on your removal.
01:10:23You'll be drowning in your own tears
01:10:24before you know it.
01:10:26Mr. Thomas,
01:10:28the chairman clearly doesn't have much patience
01:10:30for your rambling.
01:10:31Why don't you just cut to the chase?
01:10:38Great.
01:10:39Then let's make it official.
01:10:41Mrs. Anderson,
01:10:42please promptly inform the board
01:10:43that we,
01:10:44the shareholder present in the room,
01:10:46have agreed to remove Roger Brown
01:10:47as CEO of Westream.
01:10:50Vivian Thomas will be appointed
01:10:51in his place.
01:10:53That's right.
01:10:54The vote is unanimous.
01:11:01There's no need to pass this on to the board.
01:11:03The chairman rejects your decision.
01:11:05Excuse me?
01:11:07Emily,
01:11:07the chairman's not even here.
01:11:09How the hell would you know
01:11:10what he thinks about it?
01:11:12Would you like to confirm it yourself,
01:11:15Mr. Chairman?
01:11:19What do you mean?
01:11:21Mr. Chairman?
01:11:24You still don't get it?
01:11:28It's me.
01:11:29I'm the chairman.
01:11:37This is hilarious.
01:11:38Roger can't even tell the difference
01:11:40between a CEO and an owner.
01:11:42Is anyone going to break the news to him?
01:11:44Kid's delusional.
01:11:45Must have hit his head or something.
01:11:47Roger, I get it.
01:11:49We backed you into a corner
01:11:50and now you're scared.
01:11:51But this?
01:11:53Really?
01:11:54Did you forget
01:11:55that Emily's met the real boss?
01:11:57You can't just lie to her face
01:11:59and get away with it.
01:12:01Mr. Brown isn't lying.
01:12:04He's the owner of Westream.
01:12:11Three years ago,
01:12:12Mr. Brown acquired over 60%
01:12:14of Westream shares
01:12:16as a private investor.
01:12:17To avoid scrutiny,
01:12:18he chose to remain anonymous
01:12:20and face the public
01:12:20as company CEO.
01:12:23Sweet mother of God,
01:12:25he really is the owner.
01:12:27It's all over.
01:12:28No, no.
01:12:29This is fake.
01:12:30This has to be fake.
01:12:31He paid you off, didn't he?
01:12:32You're covering for him.
01:12:34Don't think I won't call the police
01:12:35and have you arrested for fraud.
01:12:37Please, call them
01:12:38and have them look into it.
01:12:40That'll only confirm
01:12:41Mr. Brown's identity faster.
01:12:56Now, remind me,
01:12:59what was this board meeting
01:13:00supposed to be about?
01:13:06What a silly misunderstanding
01:13:08this all was, Mr. Brown.
01:13:10No hard feelings, right?
01:13:12Why don't we carry on
01:13:13with the engagement party?
01:13:14Your lovely mother came all this way
01:13:16for your special day.
01:13:17We wouldn't want to disappoint her.
01:13:19You can go fuck yourself.
01:13:22Roger, you little...
01:13:23Vivian, watch your mouth.
01:13:25That's your boss you're talking to.
01:13:27Shit.
01:13:28Okay, he's really the boss.
01:13:30I have to shift the game plan
01:13:32to saving my career.
01:13:33The good thing is,
01:13:34Roger and I have real feelings
01:13:35for each other.
01:13:36Maybe Mom's right.
01:13:37If I apologize fast enough,
01:13:39I can still salvage this.
01:13:41Please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:43Please don't call off our engagement.
01:13:45I'll be good to your mom.
01:13:46I'll take care of her
01:13:47like she's my own.
01:13:52Never seen anyone switch sides
01:13:53that fast.
01:13:55Impressive.
01:13:57Too bad it doesn't matter.
01:13:59Mrs. Brown!
01:14:01Please talk to him!
01:14:03Don't let him throw away
01:14:04what we had!
01:14:06I'll never love anyone but him!
01:14:10Then tell me this.
01:14:12Do you really want to marry my son?
01:14:15Or do you want to marry the man
01:14:17who owns 60% of this company?
01:14:24If you're going to beg my mom,
01:14:25at least make it convincing.
01:14:35Mrs. Brown, I'm so...
01:14:41Stop embarrassing yourself, Vivian.
01:14:44Just looking at you
01:14:45makes my skin crawl.
01:14:47Roger, please.
01:14:48Let's just pretend
01:14:49this never happened.
01:14:50I didn't want you to get fired.
01:14:52It was all my dad!
01:14:53Oh, yes.
01:14:54Your dad.
01:14:57You must be very proud
01:14:59of the monster you raised, Sam.
01:15:01Vivian Thomas,
01:15:03you're fired.
01:15:04And you can forget about
01:15:05ever working at Westream again.
01:15:07No!
01:15:08Roger, please, no!
01:15:10Dad, do something!
01:15:12I gave everything to this company!
01:15:14I can't go down like this!
01:15:16Mr. Brown,
01:15:17I realize you're the majority owner,
01:15:18but I'm still a shareholder.
01:15:20You and I,
01:15:21we should be working together.
01:15:24And, sir,
01:15:26you can't just dismiss
01:15:27High's high-level employees
01:15:28without consulting me first.
01:15:29It's reckless.
01:15:30You think you still have
01:15:31a say in this company?
01:15:32I can snatch away
01:15:33your measly little share
01:15:34with the flick of a wrist.
01:15:36Cool it, buddy.
01:15:38We're not going to hand over
01:15:39our shares just because you ask.
01:15:42Whoa, whoa.
01:15:42Sam, don't drag me into this, man.
01:15:44If push comes to Shev,
01:15:45I'm siding with Mr. Brown.
01:15:47Yeah!
01:15:48You're the one who started all this!
01:15:50Mr. Brown,
01:15:50I'm sorry.
01:15:51I was misled.
01:15:52I let my judgment slip.
01:15:54It won't happen again.
01:15:57You filthy,
01:15:59rotten bastards!
01:16:02You two want a second chance?
01:16:04Fine.
01:16:08But your daughter abused my mother,
01:16:10and that means
01:16:11your whole family's going to pay.
01:16:17Just say the word,
01:16:19Mr. Brown.
01:16:21Sam sure runs his mouth a lot
01:16:22for a guy who has
01:16:23nothing worth saying.
01:16:24Let's see if he keeps jabbering
01:16:26after he gets a few teeth
01:16:27knocked out.
01:16:30Yes, sir.
01:16:42Either you help him out,
01:16:44or you're next in line.
01:16:49Mr. Brown,
01:16:50please tell them to stop!
01:16:52They're going to kill my husband!
01:16:54Friend!
01:16:57Funny.
01:16:58Your daughter didn't seem
01:16:59too worried about
01:17:00killing my mom
01:17:01when she was dunking
01:17:03her head underwater.
01:17:07Mr. Brown,
01:17:08I'm begging you.
01:17:10That's the father
01:17:11of the woman
01:17:12you once loved.
01:17:14Please spare him.
01:17:16He's also the father
01:17:18of the woman
01:17:18who nearly murdered
01:17:19my mother.
01:17:20I guess that didn't
01:17:21occur to you.
01:17:22Fine!
01:17:23I admit it!
01:17:25I'll fess up
01:17:26to everything I did!
01:17:27I'll tell everyone!
01:17:30That's the first
01:17:31real thing
01:17:31you've said all day.
01:17:36All right then,
01:17:37start talking.
01:17:38I...
01:17:39I accused her
01:17:41of stealing.
01:17:42I dunked her head
01:17:43into a bucket of water.
01:17:47I nearly killed her.
01:18:00No, I'm not as cruel
01:18:01as you.
01:18:01Do it yourself.
01:18:11Roger, that's enough.
01:18:13Let them go.
01:18:18No, I'm not stopping.
01:18:20Until they suffered
01:18:21just as much
01:18:21as you did.
01:18:23Look,
01:18:24I know you want
01:18:25to protect me,
01:18:26but if you keep
01:18:26fighting hate
01:18:27with hate,
01:18:28you're no better
01:18:29than they are.
01:18:30You've already
01:18:31made things right.
01:18:32Now, let's take
01:18:33the high road
01:18:34and walk away
01:18:34from this.
01:18:39Enough!
01:18:41Enough!
01:18:42Enough!
01:18:51You can go.
01:18:52You're lucky
01:18:52my mother has
01:18:53such a kind heart.
01:18:55Thank you,
01:18:55Mrs. Brown.
01:19:14Mom.
01:19:17I'm sorry.
01:19:19I was so busy
01:19:21chasing Sess
01:19:22that I went missing
01:19:23when you needed
01:19:23me most.
01:19:27But I promise
01:19:28from now on
01:19:29I'll make time.
01:19:30I'll be more present.
01:19:32You'll never have to deal
01:19:33with things
01:19:33on your own again.
01:19:42You've always
01:19:43made me proud,
01:19:44Roger.
01:19:45I don't blame you
01:19:46for any of this.
01:19:49Come on.
01:19:50Let's go home.
