I Left Him for His Enemy Episode
Transcript
00:01It's been three days. Where is she? I don't care what it takes, bring her back to me.
00:08Yes, sir.
00:13I'm done being patient.
00:24Good evening, Mr. Shaw. I have a surprise I want you to know.
00:28Oh? What's the surprise?
00:32It's me.
00:34It's her.
00:45Seven years. From 19 to 26, I'm finally going to become the future Mrs. Shaw.
00:57Good. Once this act is over, those old men will shut up.
01:03What do you mean?
01:04Cora Matthews.
01:07Marrying her is just a way to keep the old man in check.
01:10They always think I'm too young to handle things, so they're forcing me to settle down.
01:15But you've been with Miss Matthews for seven years now.
01:20Seven years.
01:22I got tired of her long ago.
01:24If weren't for this position, I would even waste my time.
01:28And after the wedding?
01:30After that?
01:31Hasn't that foster kid always wanted to get close to her?
01:35Same with the Lee family's young master.
01:39Let her drink and chat with them.
01:41That's all she's good for.
01:44Mr. Shaw, wouldn't that be a little too...
01:48What? You have a problem with that?
01:51No, sir.
01:54Seven years.
01:56So to him, those seven years were just a charade.
01:59And I'm nothing but a pawn for him to consolidate his power.
02:02Even if we got married, I'd just be a social trophy for him to show off.
02:06And I'd still be forced to entertain other men.
02:12Behind me, the talk went on, but I left.
02:15I just knew I had to go to the banquet hall, where the ceremony would be.
02:28Miss Matthews is here.
02:30She's beautiful. Lucky Ethan.
02:36Once, I thought that smile hid true affection.
02:39Now I realize it was indifference.
02:42Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming tonight.
02:46I have an important announcement.
02:49Miss Lena Foster, please come up to the stage.
02:58The Fosters and Shaws will fully cooperate.
03:02My engagement to Cora Matthews will be postponed indefinitely.
03:05Definitely.
03:07Oh, no.
03:10Oh, no.
03:12Oh, no.
03:13Oh, no.
03:15Oh, no.
03:21Oh, no.
03:24Oh, no.
03:25Oh, no.
03:26Oh, no.
03:27Oh, no.
03:28Oh.
03:47I'll be in my room if you need me.
04:08Cora, I know you're angry.
04:10Come downstairs so we can talk properly.
04:14It's not personal, just business, you know that.
04:18Cora, open the door.
04:24I never thought it would end like this.
04:28This is the key to everything.
05:02Ms. Matthews.
05:03Mr. Grant, please sit down.
05:09I have three sets of documents spanning three years.
05:13All the signed documents of Shaw Group secretly embezzling the Matthews family's assets through agreements.
05:20Whether through legal channels or by making it public, this evidence is enough to destroy him.
05:25I know you've been scheming all along and what I have in hand is exactly the leverage you urgently need.
05:33What do you want?
05:36Resources, protection, and a truly equal partner.
05:41I don't want handouts for a shelter.
05:44I want a fair deal.
05:46Let me see the documents.
05:58There's one more condition that I didn't mention just now.
06:26I've drafted the cooperation terms.
06:34I can bring three years worth of evidence to take down Ethan and the Matthews connections, and my strategic value
06:41as the person Ethan is obsessed with.
06:44I want resources, access, and an equal say.
06:51The documents won't go through any third party, and you control the timing.
06:56That's right.
06:58If it goes to legal proceedings, you must be listed among the beneficiaries of the interests.
07:03Alright.
07:05It's a deal.
07:12This is an equal and mutually beneficial partnership.
07:17The Cora Matthews who used to settle for less is long gone.
07:21Her purpose has already come to an end.
07:24I no longer need to live as others expect me to be.
07:27From now on, I'll live my life on my own terms.
07:33Complete evidence chain.
07:34All documents dated and clearly sourced.
07:38Once we strike, we must win with one decisive blow.
07:44Get all the documents organized.
07:46I'll send you the USB drive on Friday.
07:57Tell Mr. Shaw that Miss Matthews isn't available this evening.
08:12What did Mr. Shaw tell you before he left?
08:18He asked me to pass a message to you, Miss Matthews.
08:21I came in person.
08:23This is the last time I'll make an exception for her.
08:26Also, tell her father to contact a lawyer before 9 tomorrow morning.
08:33The Shaw group never waits for anyone.
08:36Thanks.
08:41He's threatening my family.
08:44I know.
08:46Counterclaim the Matthew Hooser fenced to blow today.
08:48The Travis's Etter claim Ekum and Tam to Six.
08:52You saw this coming.
08:53That's right.
08:58Hey, Sophie.
09:00Miss Matthews.
09:01Several subsidiary stocks have crashed.
09:04Suppliers are defaulting.
09:06And banks are calling in loans.
09:08Sophie, calm down.
09:09Core assets moved two weeks ago.
09:12Let him try.
09:13Miss, you transferred all the core assets long ago?
09:16Done before I left.
09:17Six months in the making.
09:19Core accounts are secure.
09:21I'll send you the latest asset structure today.
09:23I'll notify the board immediately.
09:26I'll notify the board immediately.
09:31He's short stockling our peripheral subsidiaries.
09:35I moved the core assets before the engagement party.
09:39So now he's targeting your family.
09:41It's just a waste of effort.
09:44Exhausting themselves on shell companies.
09:47I need help with the counterclaim.
09:49But the crisis is no longer a threat.
09:51I had the counterclaim documents filed long ago.
09:55But you never needed this counterclaim to protect yourself in the first place.
09:58Not for this crisis.
09:59But next time, maybe not.
10:07Hello father.
10:08It's Cora.
10:10I'm just letting you know how things stand with the company.
10:13Don't worry.
10:18The Meridian Group Annual Gala.
10:20Every notable and powerful figure is present.
10:24Get ready to depart at seven.
10:41And this is Cora Matthews.
10:44She's with me.
10:58Grant and Cora Matthews.
11:00I was at the Shaw engagement last month.
11:02Quite a stir that night.
11:03Honestly, I didn't expect you here this soon.
11:06And so, calm and composed.
11:09She has the leverage to keep Shaw Group in trouble for an entire year.
11:13Don't act smart and say things you shouldn't, Richard.
11:17I thought you didn't receive an invitation to the Meridian Gala this year.
11:21After the Hargro scandal, I thought they'd rescreen the guest list.
11:26It's... nothing important.
11:29It really doesn't matter.
11:31Enjoy the gala.
11:41Ethan is here tonight, as well.
12:08Cora!
12:09We weren't sure you'd come tonight.
12:11Why wouldn't I?
12:12Sorry.
12:12Oh, I just thought, after everything that happened, it would take a while to show your face.
12:17That takes courage.
12:19I mean that.
12:20You look well.
12:21Any regrets?
12:23About what?
12:27The choice you made?
12:29Walking away?
12:30I've been wondering...
12:31Now that you've had time to think...
12:33I don't think about it.
12:34That's the honest answer.
12:40We should say hello to the Meridian Board.
12:42Okay.
13:03You have a lot of nerve.
13:06Showing up at that dinner.
13:08Parading yourself around like you have something to prove?
13:11Do you have any idea what you're doing to him?
13:14I'm sorry?
13:15He can't stop talking about you.
13:17Every room we're in.
13:18Every conversation.
13:19You come up.
13:20You always come up.
13:22And you love it, don't you?
13:23That's why you're still here.
13:25Still visible.
13:26Still showing up to every event where he might be.
13:28Because the moment he stops thinking about you.
13:31You lose your leverage.
13:33You think I'm doing this on purpose?
13:35I know you are.
13:36This is what women like you do.
13:38You lose and then you hang around the edges making sure he feels guilty.
13:42Making sure he wonders.
13:43Playing the wounded one.
13:45You're not wounded, Cora.
13:46You're calculating.
13:48And everyone can see it except him.
13:50Women like me?
13:51You heard me.
13:53I did.
13:54You won.
13:55He chose you.
13:57He put you on that stage in front of everyone.
14:00So why does it bother you this much that he still thinks about me?
14:05If you'd actually won, I'd be irrelevant.
14:08You wouldn't be here.
14:10You wouldn't have spent the last 10 minutes telling me how much space I take up in his head.
14:14The problem isn't what I'm doing.
14:17The problem is that you can't make him stop.
14:22You need to disappear.
14:24Do you understand me?
14:26Just disappear.
14:28Stop showing up.
14:29Stop making him-
14:30Let go.
14:36Ethan Shaw couldn't stop thinking about me.
14:39And Lena Foster couldn't sleep because of it.
14:52Aren't you going to check it?
15:07He...
15:08He...
15:08He...
15:13This is what he does.
15:24He'd done this before.
15:25The pills.
15:26The car crash threats.
15:27The wrist.
15:28Every time I tried to leave.
15:30Every time it worked.
15:38He'd done this before.
15:47You stood outside that door for two hours?
15:50Yes.
15:51Why?
15:52Because I was afraid.
15:55I didn't want to not know if you were alright.
15:58I was alright.
15:59I know.
16:01I stayed anyway.
16:22Cora?
16:23I just landed.
16:23Where are you?
16:24Wanna grab dinner tonight?
16:28I...
16:29I...
16:30I'm at Lucas Grant's place.
16:31Oh?
16:32Things moving that fast?
16:34Wait.
16:34What's up with your voice?
16:39Ethan Shaw.
16:40He sent me a photo.
16:42A photo?
16:43A photo?
16:44What kind of photo?
16:45He cut himself.
16:46It's deep.
16:47There's...
16:48blood.
16:50God dammit!
16:51Not this again!
16:52Cora, wake up!
16:53This isn't love.
16:54You get it?
16:55This is straight up emotional manipulation.
16:58Manipulation?
16:59Every time you try to leave.
17:00He hurts himself.
17:01Threatens you.
17:02Plays the victim.
17:03That's not love.
17:04He's holding your kindness and guilt hostage seven years.
17:07He's trained you like Pavrov's dog.
17:10The second you see him hurt, you cave.
17:11You always go back.
17:13Cora, this is manipulation.
17:15Naked psychological manipulation.
17:24Cora?
17:25Are you still with me?
17:27Yeah.
17:29Which room are you in?
17:30Is Lucas there?
17:31The study.
17:33He's downstairs.
17:37Good.
17:38Listen to me.
17:40Whatever Ethan Shaw sends you, stop looking at it.
17:43None of this is your responsibility.
17:46It never was.
17:49Manipulation.
17:50The word kept running.
17:52All those years of feeling trapped and guilty and small.
17:56And it had a name.
17:58One word.
17:59And suddenly all of it had a shape.
18:02I thought about two years ago.
18:03I'd booked flights to California with friends.
18:06The night before we left, Ethan cut his hand.
18:09Not badly.
18:10Just enough.
18:11I cancelled the trip and spent three days at the hospital.
18:15As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything.
18:20I thought that meant love.
18:24I need a laptop.
18:26Mine isn't here.
18:28Hmm.
18:32So this is how it was.
18:35Seven years.
18:36He's been quietly moving my family's assets into his own name.
18:44Cora.
18:45There are things about the business arrangements you might have seen.
18:48I want to explain in person.
18:50Were you sifling from my family's accounts while we were together?
18:54Business and personal aren't always separate.
18:56I know exactly how it works.
18:59I built the file.
19:01Ethan Shaw already knew I had the flash drive.
19:04So this is what Ethan Shaw called love.
19:09Seven years.
19:10The first time he said I love me, the same day he signed the first agreement,
19:15stripping my family's name off their own assets.
19:18I had found it first by accident.
19:26Lucas stood there.
19:28He didn't move.
19:30He just let it happen.
19:34The one I'd set years ago.
19:38I stared at it.
19:40Couldn't move.
19:45You don't have to answer anything tonight.
19:47Or ever.
19:54The documentation is solid.
19:57We have everything we need to move legally or publicly on our timeline.
20:03Yes.
20:05I want to be in the room for every decision.
20:08You will be.
20:12Get some sleep.
20:16My mother called on a Thursday.
20:19I hadn't heard her voice in three weeks.
20:21I'm downstairs.
20:22Come down.
20:23He wants you back.
20:24He's willing to overlook all of this.
20:28Overlook?
20:28Your father's accounts are in trouble.
20:30The company can't hold on.
20:32All of it stops the moment you come home.
20:34The trouble with father's accounts stopped two weeks ago.
20:38I've been depositing into a private account in his name every week since I left.
20:42He hasn't checked it yet, but it's there.
20:45He loves you.
20:46Seven years.
20:48Men make mistakes, Cora.
20:50You don't throw away seven years over one evening.
20:52He brought another woman on stage at our engagement party while I was standing in the crowd.
20:58That wasn't a mistake.
21:00It was a message.
21:02That's not-
21:03I was there.
21:04You weren't.
21:05He asked me to give you this.
21:09Read it when you're ready to stop being stubborn.
21:12I'm not being stubborn.
21:13I just don't want a life that looks like this.
21:16Your father won't reach out.
21:17He's too proud.
21:19But I want you to understand.
21:21If this family falls apart, that's a choice you made.
21:24And you'll have to live with it.
21:37I didn't open it.
21:39I don't want to know what it says.
21:47Come inside.
21:57Do you want to be here?
21:59What?
22:00Not the plan.
22:01Not the documentation.
22:04Here, with me.
22:05Do you want to be here?
22:07Yes.
22:08Good.
22:13My father texted me on Saturday.
22:16Coffee.
22:17Just us.
22:18I owe you an apology.
22:23I'll let you know if I need you there.
22:31You set this up.
22:33Cora, just sit-
22:34You told me it was just us.
22:37Cora.
22:38I'll restore the accounts.
22:40All of them.
22:40Immediately.
22:41No conditions.
22:42No negotiations.
22:43I'm not asking you to come back.
22:45I'm asking for 10 minutes.
22:50The accounts were never mine to decide.
22:52You know that.
22:53You lied to me to get me here.
22:57Mr. Shaw would appreciate 5 minutes, Ms. Matthews.
23:01Cora.
23:02You came here.
23:03That means something.
23:05You had my father lie to my face to get me in a room.
23:08That's not what someone does when they love a person.
23:11That's what someone does when they're running out of moves.
23:16The accounts.
23:17Restore them.
23:18Now.
23:19Today.
23:19Without conditions.
23:20Because if you don't, what you did to my family will be the first thing I tell every
23:25person in your network who asks why we're no longer together.
23:28You know I have their numbers.
23:30And you know I have more than that.
23:35I'm at the address I sent you.
23:36My exit is blocked.
23:38Can you send someone?
23:392 minutes.
23:40Actually.
23:41I waited for 4 minutes.
23:43My father at the table not looking at me.
23:45And Ethan 3 feet away asking me to be reasonable.
23:57Still running.
23:58Good.
24:02She had worked alongside Lucas for years.
24:05Professional.
24:06Competent.
24:07Her name on every major proposal he'd signed in the last 3 years.
24:12The first time we met.
24:14Good to see you.
24:15The second time.
24:17She asked Lucas in front of me.
24:19Whether I'd be joining permanently.
24:21Or just for now.
24:25He does this.
24:26Brings someone in.
24:28Gets absorbed for a while.
24:30Don't build too much around it.
24:31That's all I'm saying.
24:33Does he know you're saying this?
24:35He doesn't need to know everything.
24:38Diana.
24:39Whatever you said while I was gone.
24:42Don't say it again.
24:43I was just.
24:44I know exactly what you were doing.
24:48It won't happen again.
24:50If it does.
24:51We'll have a different conversation.
24:54You didn't have to.
24:55You.
24:55Yes I did.
24:57No one speaks to you that way.
24:59Not in my presence.
25:00Not anywhere near me.
25:02He did something like this, didn't he?
25:04And didn't stop it.
25:06I'm not him.
25:08He noticed.
25:09He didn't make anything of it.
25:11That was the difference too.
25:15You.
25:18You've been sending copies of grant group strategy documents to a contact at Shaw Group.
25:23I found three instances.
25:24There may be more.
25:26I'm not going to Lucas with this today.
25:29But you're going to submit your resignation this afternoon.
25:32Conflict of interest.
25:34Professional reasons.
25:35Your choice of language.
25:38If you don't.
25:39I'll hand the folder to Lucas in the morning.
25:42His choice of response will be worse than mine.
25:46She submitted her resignation that afternoon.
25:54I didn't explain.
25:55He didn't ask.
25:59Grant.
26:00I've been hearing things.
26:02That this.
26:04Was something you'd been setting up for a while.
26:06That Cora Matthews was useful to you before you were using her.
26:12I'm sure that's not true.
26:14Where did you hear that?
26:15Oh.
26:16Just.
26:17Around.
26:18I'd like to know the source.
26:19Where?
26:20They won't tell you.
26:21Just where.
26:25Shaw.
26:26Grant.
26:29I've been trying to figure out the timeline.
26:31When exactly Grant started planning all this.
26:33So I went back through two years of records.
26:36Every event I brought Cora to.
26:38Every dinner.
26:39Every gala.
26:40Every function.
26:41He was at every.
26:42Single one.
26:43I thought it was normal competition.
26:45But then I found the file.
26:48He's had a file on you Cora.
26:50Detailed one.
26:51I've seen part of it.
26:53You want to tell her what's in it?
26:54Or should I?
26:55Perfect.
26:57Because I had one too.
27:01Excuse me.
27:05I stayed until the end of the event.
27:09When I got back to the penthouse.
27:11Every light was off.
27:13Lucas' study door was closed.
27:14I had a press strategy to start thinking through.
27:25You left.
27:26Yes.
27:27You set your glass down in front of a room full of people and walked out without looking
27:31back.
27:33Whatever Ethan was trying to do, you handed it to him.
27:37He was trying to get a reaction.
27:39I gave him a smaller one than staying would have.
27:41You left me standing there.
27:43You handled it.
27:44I always handle it.
27:47That's not the point.
27:48The point is that you had a file on me.
27:50That before I said one word to you in that bar, you already knew exactly.
27:55Yes.
27:56Stop agreeing with me.
27:58Say something that isn't just confirmation.
28:00Tell me I'm wrong.
28:01Tell me it doesn't matter.
28:03Do something besides sitting there handing me facts.
28:06I can't tell you you're wrong.
28:08Then be angry about it.
28:10Be sorry.
28:11Be anything.
28:12Because right now you're looking at me like a problem that's been resolved and I am not.
28:20I'm not looking at you like a resolved problem.
28:23I haven't been able to look at you like that for a long time.
28:27That's actually the problem.
28:29The file was how it started.
28:31It stopped being about the file.
28:33I don't know exactly when.
28:35Don't walk out on me again.
28:36Not in front of people.
28:38Not anywhere.
28:38Okay.
28:40Have you eaten?
28:42What?
28:42It's 11.30.
28:43You didn't eat at the reception.
28:45Come on.
28:53You cook?
28:55Occasionally, when I want to think.
28:57What are you thinking about right now?
28:59Nothing.
29:06How did you know I like-
29:07You mentioned it once.
29:08Three weeks ago.
29:10You said the only thing that actually helped when you couldn't sleep was something warm and plain.
29:15I was listening.
29:18He asked me what I'd wanted to do before the engagement was announced.
29:22I told him.
29:23I hadn't said it out loud in a long time.
29:25He listened without comment, which was exactly right.
29:39I'm staying.
29:47I need to see you.
29:49Just me.
29:50No Ethan.
29:51I promise.
29:53I should have known.
29:54I'd heard that promise before.
29:58Ethan was out of public moves.
30:00The accounts.
30:01The confrontation at the cafe.
30:03The letter.
30:04He had one tool left.
30:06Force.
30:07Force.
30:18This time, I wasn't coming unprepared.
30:22I wasn't coming unprepared.
30:32No!
30:34Oh!
30:35No!
30:35No!
30:37No!
30:38No!
30:39No!
30:51You're alright. Nothing happened.
30:53I just needed you somewhere we could talk without Lucas Grant's people listening.
30:57Locked. Cora. Listen to me. I'm not going to hurt you. I just need you to hear me out.
31:03Where is my father?
31:04He's fine. He's not here. He helped me because he loves you because he knows that what you're doing is...
31:11He helped you kidnap me.
31:14That...
31:14That's the word. You drugged me and put me in a warehouse and you're telling me your intentions are good.
31:22Keep him talking. Let the recorder run.
31:24I'm telling you that you are making a mistake that I cannot watch you make.
31:30Seven years. Cora. Seven years.
31:34You don't throw that away because of one bad night.
31:38Humiliated me in front of everyone we knew.
31:41You replaced me with her on a stage while I was standing there.
31:45You've been threatening my family for weeks.
31:49And you think the problem is that I'm throwing something away?
31:52Okay?
31:55Come home. I'll fix everything. The accounts, your parents, all of it. Just come home.
32:02No.
32:02Cora!
32:09Let go.
32:20Are you hurt?
32:29Lucas, this is a private conversation. It's over. Whatever you think this was, it's over.
32:36You don't get to walk in here and...
32:39I just did.
32:41You drugged her. You held her against her will.
32:44And before all of that, you spent weeks threatening her family, humiliating her in public and sending people to intimidate
32:50her.
32:51I've been patient.
32:53I'm done being patient.
32:56She's...
32:56She's leaving with me.
32:58Let's go.
33:04Let's go.
33:08Let's go.
33:27Miss Matthews.
33:29Your guest is here.
33:31Let him in.
33:37Please, have a seat, Mr. Shaw.
33:46Beautiful work.
33:47Must have been hard to find someone with that kind of skill.
33:52But, some things, once broken, never really heal.
33:57No matter how careful the repair, the cracks are always there.
34:01You can put it away.
34:02I won't be taking it with me.
34:05Cora, I tried.
34:07I sent Lena to talk to you.
34:09She came back and said...
34:11She said you made her feel like she'd already lost before she opened her mouth.
34:15I let her go after that.
34:16I've been handling this myself ever since.
34:19Give me a chance.
34:20Just one?
34:22There are no more chances for us.
34:24I know how much effort you put in.
34:27That doesn't change anything.
34:30Cora!
34:31Goodbye.
34:33He isn't done.
34:35I already knew that.
34:44Seven years, Cora.
34:45Seven years together.
34:46Are you really going to erase all of that like it meant nothing?
34:49That was a long time ago.
34:52How can you be so heartless?
34:54You're going to throw everything away because of one mistake just like that?
34:58I was standing in the crowd.
35:01At our own engagement party.
35:03While you handed her a microphone.
35:06That wasn't a mistake.
35:08That was a message.
35:10You think leaving me means you're free?
35:12Without my permission?
35:14You won't last a day in this city.
35:16Lucas Crant might protect you now.
35:19But do you really think he can shield you forever?
35:27Cora!
35:28Are you even listening to me?
35:34Cora!
35:35I'm talking to you!
35:37Give me a second.
35:45You said the same thing three months ago.
35:48That I wouldn't last a day.
35:50What happened after that?
35:53I'm asking genuinely.
35:55I'd like to know how that turned out for you.
36:04Ethan Shaw.
36:05It's been seven years.
36:07We're both exhausted.
36:17Mr. Shaw.
36:19Miss Matthews arranged this room.
36:21Out of control guests aren't welcome here.
36:23Let go of me!
36:24You can't!
36:26You!
36:26I felt nothing.
36:29Mr. Shaw.
36:30My place.
36:31My rules.
36:33Lucas Grant!
36:34Who the hell do you think you are?
36:36Take him outside.
36:49Who had spent so long believing he couldn't lose.
36:52That he hadn't built anything to fall back on.
36:58We are done.
36:59For good.
37:01We're quits.
37:02No more strings.
37:14Cora Matthews.
37:18You will regret this.
37:21You will regret this.
37:28He was gone.
37:30Seven years of it.
37:32The whole weight.
37:33Had left with him.
37:35And taken nothing of mine.
37:37He was present from the very beginning.
37:40He heard every conversation between me and Ethan.
37:43He never interfered at all.
37:46This one.
37:46I didn't touch it.
37:47I know.
37:49He secretly helped me navigate countless crises.
37:52He understands my silence.
37:54As well as my stubbornness.
37:58Let's go home.
38:00Somewhere in the city,
38:02Ethan Shaw's last card was already in play.
38:06But that was his problem now.
38:15Sources close to Shaw Group
38:17Alleged that Cora Matthews was leveraged by Lucas Grant
38:20As a calculated move against a business rival.
38:24A relationship engineered.
38:26Not chosen.
38:32He wants me to look desperate.
38:34Yes.
38:35Then I'll hold a press conference.
38:37I was going to.
38:39I know.
38:40But it should be mine.
38:42Okay.
38:51Three years ago,
38:53I began noticing discrepancies
38:55in the Matthews Group's asset records.
38:57It took me two years to understand what I was seeing.
39:02One more year to document it completely.
39:11This is a record of seven years of systematic asset transfer
39:15from the Matthews Group to Shaw Group entities.
39:19The full documentation has been filed with our legal counsel
39:23and submitted to the relevant regulatory body this morning.
39:32Additionally, three weeks ago,
39:34I was drugged, abducted, and held without consent
39:37by parties working at the direction of Ethan Shaw.
39:40I recorded the encounter.
39:43I just needed you somewhere we could talk
39:45without Lucas Grant's people listening.
39:48Come home.
39:51The Matthews family is announcing a full business restructuring today,
39:56returning all misappropriated assets to our balance sheet.
40:00Our legal team will be available for questions at four o'clock.
40:11I was sitting there watching you,
40:14and I realized something.
40:17What?
40:18I don't want to lose you.
40:20It's who you truly are.
40:22One of a kind.
40:24Irreplaceable you.
40:27I wanted to say it out loud.
40:32You picked a hell of a moment.
40:36I know.
40:37Let's go.
40:48I need to tell you something.
40:50I love you.
40:53Not because you're useful.
40:54Not because of what you did to Shaw Group.
40:56You, who you are.
40:58That's what this is.
41:00I wanted to say it clearly.
41:03You took your time.
41:05You kept me waiting.
41:08I wanted to say it clearly.
41:10So there's no ambiguity between us.
41:12I wanted to be sure.
41:14I'm sure.
41:16Me too.
41:19Mrs. Grant, a package arrived.
41:21No return address.
41:32It's a beautiful dress.
41:36Whoever made this did a decent job.
41:41I'll be in the garden.
41:51I'm sorry.
41:52But this is goodbye.
41:59Done.
42:06What are you thinking about?
42:11I'm thinking about our future.
42:15Wondering whose temperament our kids will take after.
42:21Definitely you.
42:23Everywhere you go, your powerful aura puts others in quiet restraint.
42:28No.
42:29I hope they inherit your calm and steady nature.
42:33You're far more composed and assured than I am.
42:37You're controlled.
42:38That's not the same thing.
42:41Exactly.
42:42Controlled is learned.
42:44Steady is what you're built from.
42:46I'd like them to have that.
42:49Hey.
42:51Hmm?
42:51I'm grateful I stayed true to myself back then and never looked back.
42:57Me too.
43:00I alone end the past.
43:02The past is gone.
43:04Bright days lie ahead.
43:18Our keynote speaker tonight needs no introduction.
43:21As chair of the Matthews Grant Foundation and this year's Meridian Philanthromist of the Year.
43:31The Grant boy, Henry, isn't it?
43:34Named for Lucas' late mother.
43:37That's right.
43:38In that family, there's no higher honor you can give.
43:46He knew that name.
43:48He knew what it meant.
43:49This child wasn't just the heir to Grant Group.
43:53He was proof of something.
43:55The living evidence of a life built entirely outside anything Ethan had ever offered anyone.
44:12He knew he was раст counseling.
44:18Working with his parents.
44:19He was a small one.
44:19Don'tَje论
44:20I didn't know.
44:21He's not the Dr.
44:21He has a gift.
44:21He's a gift.
44:22He's an emergency teacher as a gift.
44:22He's a지-b STOP.
44:22You
