00:00:13Hey.
00:00:15Ah, Nicky, my boy.
00:00:18Mr. Richardson.
00:00:20Call me Dad.
00:00:22Ah, Dad.
00:00:23You know, I can't tell you how happy I am that you decided to go through with this sight unseen.
00:00:29But I promise you, you won't regret it.
00:00:31My daughter is a brilliant woman.
00:00:33She's got an even better head for business than I do.
00:00:36I don't even know how that's even possible.
00:00:38No, no, it's true.
00:00:40And after this wedding, when our businesses merge, the sky will be the limit.
00:00:45Right.
00:00:46And I just want to thank you for your trust and for the match, Dad.
00:00:50Even though I would have loved to have met your daughter before the wedding day,
00:00:53I hear she's beautiful.
00:00:55I hear she's amazing and I'm really looking forward to it.
00:00:57She is.
00:00:58And I'll just tell you this.
00:01:01She's my favorite daughter.
00:01:04Oh, really?
00:01:05You're a very lucky man.
00:01:06Thank you, sir.
00:01:08All right.
00:01:08Take care, buddy.
00:01:10My God.
00:01:11He's so handsome.
00:01:12I can't believe I'm marrying him today.
00:01:16Congratulations, Nick.
00:01:18Marrying Jack Richardson's daughter, that's like winning the lottery.
00:01:21Wow, yeah.
00:01:21I think the same.
00:01:22Trust me, the moment you see her in the dress, you'll faint.
00:01:24Wow.
00:01:25Okay.
00:01:26Thank you, fellas.
00:01:27I'll see you out there.
00:01:28I really hope he likes what he sees.
00:01:31He's so beautiful and handsome and I...
00:01:47Please all rise for the bride.
00:02:16That's who I'm marrying you?
00:02:18Oh my God.
00:02:20Is that the bride?
00:02:22I was sure he was marrying the pretty sister.
00:02:24Why didn't he choose her?
00:02:26She's clearly the hotter sister.
00:02:32Our eyes are so beautiful.
00:02:44Oh my God.
00:02:47Oh no.
00:02:48A comet hit Earth.
00:02:49Poor guy.
00:02:50What a night awaits him.
00:02:51It's caught away heavy on him.
00:02:53Look at that dress.
00:02:54It's very little bitter.
00:03:17He's a gentleman too, just like I thought.
00:03:20What?
00:03:24Are you alright?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27I'm okay.
00:03:29Nothing can ruin today.
00:03:30We're getting married.
00:03:34Shall we go?
00:03:36We shall.
00:03:40I didn't know whales could walk.
00:03:49Oh.
00:03:52I didn't know asses could swim.
00:03:56Today's my wedding day.
00:03:58And if you try and ruin it again, you'll be the one that people are whispering about.
00:04:03What?
00:04:04Okay.
00:04:05I like that.
00:04:18I'm ready.
00:04:21Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Nick and Claudia, who
00:04:28are entering into holy matrimony with the help of God and of their family.
00:04:36Nick, do you take Claudia as your wife?
00:04:45What should I do?
00:04:48Please say yes.
00:04:50I'm so confused.
00:04:53I do.
00:04:57Claudia, do you take Nick as your husband?
00:05:03I've waited for this moment my whole life.
00:05:06I do.
00:05:07I do.
00:05:26Nothing will ruin this day.
00:05:30Nick, you may now kiss your bride.
00:05:44Your lips feel so soft.
00:05:48He's kissing me for real.
00:05:56By the power vested in me, by the state of California, I hereby declare you husband and wife.

00:11:01oh uh no i uh
00:11:05so these investors they don't particularly know that our companies are emerging so i think this one

00:11:13my father left the business for me to manage and we're going to do that together
00:11:19so we should show that we can do that that we are a strong couple and business and love

00:12:39no just wait a minute dave i don't really care how much money you have
00:12:44i don't need you to disrespect my wife like that and i demand you to give her an apology
00:12:52yeah or else what come on sterling you're just a pretender
00:12:56without the merger with you and this whale's family you wouldn't even be invited to this table
00:13:01so why don't you just sit back and learn from the big boys
00:13:04hmm pretender huh
00:13:06that's rich coming from someone wearing a dollar store to pay
00:13:13i know who you are dave and i know your company's financial situation what i don't know is what
00:13:23you're doing at this table considering you don't have a dollar left to invest
00:13:32you had to take out a loan last month for payroll
00:13:39i'd stay quiet

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

00:14:45i want to speak about the state of the economy right now we know it's in a depression

00:14:55tangent
00:14:55about foreign companies uh we shouldn't write off local businesses so quickly
00:15:03my company and nick's are about to go through a massive merger and when that happens our stock
00:15:09prices are about to go through the roof the time to invest is now before it's too late
00:15:18i never got pitched by a talking cake before oh if anything is going to explode it's her
00:15:31claudia sit down and stop talking and clean yourself up for god's sakes
00:15:54good thing she left i'm not interested in investing in a company run by someone like that

00:23:07oh
00:23:08oh
00:23:08oh
00:23:26Claudia? Is that you?
00:23:36I need to talk to you about the meeting with Gilder Brothers.
00:23:39Gilder Brothers, that sounds fine.
00:23:43Okay, Nick. Snap out of it. You need to pull yourself together and act like a goddamn CEO.
00:23:51Look, I should have just listened to Claudia. She was right about everything, Joy.
00:23:56Everything that she said, that stupid brunch, it all came true.
00:24:00The trend is to invest into local companies with strong mergers.
00:24:04She saw that months ahead of any of us.
00:24:06And I had to be stupid and drive her away and ruin everything.
00:24:10And she was the best thing that happened to this company. She was.
00:24:38What's done is done. You have a business to run. And I am here as your partner to make sure
00:24:45that that happens.
00:24:47So man up and let go of your fat ex could have been wife already.
00:24:51How can you speak about her like that? She's your sister.
00:24:55And how can I function knowing that I drove my wife away and I don't even know where she's been
00:24:59for the last three months?
00:25:01Nick?
00:25:01What?
00:25:02Accept it. There is no more Claudia. She disappeared, ran away. She is not coming back.
00:25:12I'm here.
00:25:17I'm here.
00:25:25Who is that?
00:25:26Wow.
00:25:37I know those eyes.
00:25:44Um, okay. You're here. But I don't think you should be. I think you're mistaken about the offices.
00:25:51No, I'm not mistaken.
00:25:56I heard this rumor while I was away that you were trying to destroy the company that our father gave
00:26:02to me.
00:26:02So I'm here to save it.
00:26:07Claudia? Claudia?
00:26:10Oh, right. This is Claudia. Yeah, maybe one third of her.
00:26:16I don't know who you are or how you got past security, but this is a board meeting and only
00:26:21authorized officers are allowed to participate.
00:26:24Yes, I know that. Because I'm the legal heir and the majority owner of this company.
00:26:29So I am more than authorized to be here and be present for the board meeting.
00:26:35Legal heir? Oh, nice try.
00:26:38Okay.
00:26:39But this is my family's company. And I think I would know a relative if she were standing right in
00:26:45front of me.
00:26:46Now enough is enough. You should leave before I have security drag you out.
00:26:50What's going on here? Have I really changed so much that even my sister doesn't recognize me?
00:26:57I wonder if Nick recognizes me.
00:27:00Something about her feels familiar. Is it her?
00:27:07Security.
00:27:08Hi, yes. There's an intruder in the conference room. Can you please come and remove her?
00:27:13No need, Carl. I told you there might be drama.
00:27:17Sorry, Mrs. Richardson.
00:27:19Miss Richardson.
00:27:23See? Security will not be kicking me out of the conference room of the business that my dad built and
00:27:29gave to me.
00:27:31I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:34I am Claudia.
00:27:39Oh, that's it. This woman is a lying imposter.
00:27:42Nick, you're the boss for God's sake. Do something.
00:27:46Okay.
00:27:48If you're my wife, then where's our wedding ring?
00:27:54Wow.
00:27:56They really don't recognize me.
00:27:58Nick.
00:28:00You know that our marriage was over before it even started.
00:28:06Remember?
00:28:07You never once looked at me like I was your wife.
00:28:10So why would I wear your ring?
00:28:14I don't understand. Is this really you, Claudia?
00:28:25Yes.
00:28:26It's really me.
00:28:29She has the ring. Maybe it really is her.
00:28:33You know what?
00:28:35It fits just right now.
00:28:45Claudia, I was looking for you this entire time and I'm so sorry.
00:28:51I was worried about you.
00:28:53I really am so sorry.
00:28:57Nick, don't fall for this scam.
00:29:00Do you not think I wouldn't recognize my own sister?
00:29:03Sister?
00:29:04This is not Claudia.
00:29:09This is not Claudia.
00:29:12I mean, we all remember what Claudia looked like.
00:29:15She was huge, fat, a whale.
00:29:19There is no chance that this woman is Claudia.
00:29:24Claudia, I swear that I looked for you everywhere ever since you left.
00:29:27I just...
00:29:30Claudia, wait!
00:29:31You're really just gonna leave?
00:29:34It has been months.
00:29:35How is it even possible that no one's found her?
00:29:38Do your job and find her!
00:29:42It really is you.
00:29:45You are so beautiful.
00:29:47This is all I wanted.
00:29:49For him to look at me like this.
00:29:52Finally.
00:29:53But it's too late.
00:29:55I will never forgive him for how he made me feel.
00:29:58Thanks.
00:30:01But I don't need this anymore.
00:30:12Oh, it's clear now.
00:30:15Claudia is so ashamed of her weight that she hired some actress to impersonate her.
00:30:22It's pathetic, but it makes sense.
00:30:25You know what's pathetic, Joy?
00:30:28Is you preferring to believe that your own sister would do something so insane
00:30:34instead of believing that I had the willpower and the drive to make a positive change.
00:30:40Please.
00:30:41The only thing Claudia could ever summon the willpower and drive to do was close down a buffet.
00:30:47She couldn't keep her fat mouth shut.
00:30:50Maybe that's something you two have in common.
00:30:53I'm warning you, Joy.
00:30:56You don't get to shit talk me anymore.
00:30:59The days of you speaking to me like this are over.
00:31:02Maybe this is really Claudia standing in front of me.
00:31:05No way.
00:31:07Nick, throw her out.
00:31:12Claudia.
00:31:13Where did you go?
00:31:15Enough with the circuses!
00:31:16Throw the bitch out!
00:31:18Claudia?
00:31:19Is that you?
00:31:22Claudia?
00:31:24Is that you?
00:31:26Claudia.
00:31:27I was worried sick!
00:31:30Finally!
00:31:30Where have you been this whole time?
00:31:32I had to take control of my life, Dad.
00:31:34And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.
00:31:37Why are you so thin?
00:31:39What happened?
00:31:40Where are these two sweet rolls that I love so much?
00:31:44Only you love them, Dad.
00:31:46Dad, don't embarrass yourself.
00:31:48This is not the real Claudia.
00:31:50This is some imposter actress that she is.
00:31:52Please!
00:31:54Nonsense.
00:31:55Of course, this is Claudia.
00:31:56You think a father would know his own daughter?
00:31:59And here you are, trying to throw her out of her own office?
00:32:02No, there's...
00:32:03There's no chance that...
00:32:06Shush.
00:32:07Nick?
00:32:09Now you have by your side the most brilliant and smart woman that I have ever known.
00:32:15And I hope you keep to your promise, and you run this company with her.
00:32:22Yes.
00:32:23I promise, now that Claudia is back, that together, as partners, we can build this company up to an empire.
00:32:33So, Claudia, what do you say, partners?
00:32:42Why, whenever he looks at me, does my heart skip a bee?
00:32:46No, no, stop it, Claudia.
00:32:49This is not part of the plan.
00:32:51Get a grip.
00:33:00Ahem.
00:33:08So, are we all now familiar with the hierarchy of this company?
00:33:13Fantastic.
00:33:14Then let's get to work, because we have a lot of work to do.
00:33:18You mentioned something about a board meeting.
00:33:20Yes, I did.
00:33:21If everyone wants to turn to page three in their portfolios, we can get started.
00:33:29It's just like the data indicates.
00:33:31Right now, the market is looking for reliability and stability.
00:33:36So, if we can convince them that our company is the solid rock in the middle of a stormy sea,
00:33:42then we can recruit the correct investors.
00:33:45Let's do it.
00:33:57Hey, great job running the meeting earlier.
00:33:59Your dad was spot on when he said that you were sharp, attentive.
00:34:03I don't have time for flattery.
00:34:05I have to go.
00:34:06Uh, go where exactly?
00:34:11Well, I am your husband and we do live together.
00:34:14Did you forget?
00:34:17Come on, Nick.
00:34:20Did you really think I was going to live in the same house as you?
00:34:23Well, yes, because we are married.
00:34:26Aren't we?
00:34:26On paper, yes.
00:34:29I am your wife for the good of the company and its success.
00:34:37But we're not a real couple.
00:34:39You only married me for the merger.
00:34:42Let's not rewrite history.
00:34:44No, no, no.
00:34:44Hey, that's not how I saw the marriage.
00:34:46Oh, really?
00:34:48So you don't remember ditching me the night of our wedding or the morning after?
00:34:52Roger, you look like you swallowed poison.
00:34:55Claudia, I...
00:34:56You were ashamed of me.
00:34:58Embarrassed.
00:34:59I remember everything.
00:35:03Okay, yes.
00:35:05Maybe I was, but...
00:35:07You ready to go home?
00:35:11Oh, so that's how it is.
00:35:14While I was gone, they became a couple.
00:35:17Just like he wanted.
00:35:18And now he's just trying to play the field.
00:35:22Typical take.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31Hey, don't get worked up over Claudia.
00:35:33I mean, she's just being dramatic.
00:35:35Look, I need you to find your own ride.
00:35:37I need some quiet.
00:35:40Claudia's back.
00:35:41That's not good.
00:35:43I have to act before I completely lose the chance to make Nick mine.
00:36:07Oh my god, bro, you should have seen it. I mean, they didn't even recognize me. I mean, except, like,
00:36:12my dad, of course.
00:36:12I mean, you do look like a whole new person. You can't blame him. And? How about your hot stud
00:36:18of a husband, huh? What did he think?
00:36:20Nick?
00:36:21Uh-huh.
00:36:23Nick looked at me like I always dreamt he would. I mean, he couldn't even take his eyes off me.
00:36:29I bet. Look at you.
00:36:32You know, no one's ever looked at me like...
00:36:37Like a woman?
00:36:39Like, an attractive, worthy woman?
00:36:43Hell yeah. Get it.
00:36:45Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
00:36:47No, no, no, no. We are not getting too excited, okay?
00:36:51Because I know exactly who Nick is.
00:36:54And it's, like, exactly how I thought it was. He's with Joy now, right?
00:36:58And next time I see him, I'm gonna tell him exactly how much I hate him.
00:37:05How does that feel?
00:37:06So good.
00:37:11Some guy touching my wife? Has she already found someone else?
00:37:15Wait, that's the guy who picked her up when she left me.
00:37:18Has she been with him this whole time?
00:37:20Why don't you keep playing here, Claudia?
00:37:29Is Claudia in there?
00:37:30Um, well, she...
00:37:32I better not find her naked, buddy.
00:37:33I kinda doubt that.
00:37:35Wait, uh, really?
00:37:38What the...
00:37:44Claudia!
00:37:45There you are. What is going on here?
00:37:48You...
00:37:49I don't owe you an exclamation. And by what right are you following me?
00:37:53By the right that we are married. Okay, you've disappeared for three months. You show up at this man's house.
00:37:58What kind of behavior is that?
00:38:00Is it possible he's actually jealous?
00:38:04Listen, I can explain.
00:38:06And you! How dare you seduce another man's woman! I'm gonna teach you a frickin' lesson! I'm gonna teach you
00:38:11a frickin' lesson!
00:38:17Oh my god, what is wrong with you? Do not hurt Roy!
00:38:20I'm not gonna let my wife's lover just walk out without a fuckin' fuck-
00:38:22Enough!
00:38:24Enough.
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:32Roy...
00:38:32Roy...
00:38:33Is not my lover.
00:38:35Roy...
00:38:36Is letting me stay here because he is a very, very good friend.
00:38:39Oh, sure. The friend that she tells you not to worry about. Is that it?
00:38:43Roy...
00:38:44You know what? Even if you was my lover, it would be none of your business because we are married
00:38:50on paper and I owe you nothing.
00:38:53How do you expect me to believe that this, this, this handsome man over here is just giving you a
00:38:58massage and he isn't your lover?
00:39:00If you couldn't tell, she's not exactly my type.
00:39:03And as for you, while I'm flattered you think I'm handsome, I'm spoken for. Pablo is the jealous type.
00:39:13Pablo.
00:39:17Jesus, um...
00:39:19Look, I'm, I'm sorry, okay? I, I didn't know.
00:39:24It's okay.
00:39:26But look, look, you, you have to understand me, okay? Look, she was gone and disappeared for months.
00:39:31You had me worried. You show up to the office, you don't say a word to me.
00:39:35And you just show up at this man's house and so...
00:39:38Look, Claudia, would, I...
00:39:41Would you just come, come back home with me, please?
00:39:46Why does he want me back so badly?
00:39:49Look, think about how this looks, okay?
00:39:51We are married and you can't be staying over at another man's house.
00:39:55That just screams crisis.
00:39:58Alright, and you were the one who said that we needed stability, right?
00:40:02And your father trusts you.
00:40:04Of course, he cares about the company, not me.
00:40:08What was I thinking?
00:40:10So?
00:40:12What do you say?
00:40:13You said that you were coming back to build an empire.
00:40:17She's right.
00:40:19If the two top executives who are supposed to be married look unstable, investors will panic.
00:40:31Fine.
00:40:32True.
00:40:33But we sleep in separate rooms.
00:40:35We are business partners.
00:40:37That's it.
00:40:40Yes.
00:40:41Yes, that's fine.
00:40:43Just as long as you come back home with me.
00:41:04Huah!
00:41:06Fuck!
00:41:09Oh, ho..

00:55:46Oh

00:55:53Look look
00:55:53I don't know what happened last night
00:55:56But nobody can hear any of this
00:55:59Why would we hide anything?
00:56:01I'm serious
00:56:02Look
00:56:04What do you want?
00:56:06I don't want anything
00:56:08Other than to be with you
00:56:09What are you talking about?
00:56:11I'm married
00:56:12To your sister
00:56:13I know
00:56:15Doesn't that make it exciting?
00:56:16No look
00:56:17Just say whatever you want
00:56:18And just leave now
00:56:23Fine
00:56:24I want to be VP of the company
00:56:27This way
00:56:27I stay close to you
00:56:29I hate this
00:56:30But I'm trapped
00:56:33Fine
00:56:35This is how it will be
00:56:38Now get out of my room
00:57:05Good morning
00:57:09Did you sleep well?
00:57:11Uh
00:57:11Yes, I went to bed early
00:57:14How long did you end up staying at the convention?
00:57:17Why is he acting like this?
00:57:19Does he not remember what happened last night?
00:57:23Good morning
00:57:26What are you doing here?
00:57:28Oh
00:57:29Nick didn't tell you the good news?
00:57:31He promoted me
00:57:32Senior VP
00:57:33I'll be at all the executive meetings now
00:57:36Is that true?
00:57:39Uh
00:57:40Yes
00:57:40I thought that it would be best for the company if the family was united
00:57:44Mm-hmm
00:57:50That's my hairpin she's wearing
00:57:52What is going on here?
00:57:58Something's wrong
00:57:59Was Joy in his room after I left?
00:58:02Oh my god
00:58:03Did something happen between them?
00:58:07Excuse me, I need to make a really important film call
00:58:11What, um
00:58:13What, wait
00:58:15What have I done?
00:58:17I slept with her sister and ruined everything
00:58:23Hello

01:02:43Just breathe
01:02:45Are you feeling any better?
01:02:47Yeah
01:02:49I'm just so tired
01:02:51I'm gonna rest my eyes for a few moments
01:02:54Of course, yeah, just take as long as you need
01:02:59I almost lost her
01:03:00I don't know what I would have done
01:03:02My God, I had no idea she was becoming this important to me
01:03:22Wait, I can't believe it
01:03:24Wait, I can't believe it
01:03:25Were you the one I was with last night?
01:03:27Or am I just imagining it?
01:03:31No, no, no, just close your eyes
01:03:33And rest for now
01:03:41Hey, investor
01:03:43Mr. Hart, is he still here?
01:03:44No, no, no, Claudia
01:03:46It's okay, don't worry about that
01:03:47Just rest for now
01:03:48No, we can't afford to lose this investment
01:03:50No, it's fine, we'll worry about that later
01:03:52Okay?
01:03:55Later
01:03:57Wait, Claudia, just...
01:03:59This woman
01:04:00She may actually be crazy, but...
01:04:02I'm crazy about her
01:04:09Wait!
01:04:10Mr. Hart, wait
01:04:10Please
01:04:12I'm so sorry
01:04:13That I missed our meeting
01:04:14It was not on purpose
01:04:16It was not...
01:04:16Stop right there
01:04:19I've already made up my mind
01:04:21Please, just give me...
01:04:23Just give me a chance
01:04:23I'm investing in you
01:04:27I read over your metrics on the way
01:04:30But then after seeing the way Nick fought for you
01:04:34I can only say
01:04:36That I'm confident in my investment
01:04:39I'll have my team send over a contract
01:04:44Congratulations
01:04:53Did you hear that?
01:04:54He's gonna invest in us
01:04:55We did it!
01:04:55It'sν΅
01:05:09W-Claudia,...
01:05:11Why?
01:05:12There's something definitely...
01:05:14Between us, right?
01:05:16I don't know what you're talking about
01:05:18I'm just happy we...
01:05:21Succeeded
01:05:22It was her I was with last night.
01:05:24I know it was her.
01:05:27Hey, hey, hey, I need to ask you something about the party last night.
01:05:31Look, I know that I was very drunk, yes, and I don't remember anything, but I do remember.
01:05:38I remember your scent.
01:05:40And your hair.
01:05:42Tell me I'm not crazy.
01:05:44We were together last night, right?
01:05:47He doesn't remember.
01:05:48Not only that, he was with Joy.
01:05:51Right after, no matter how much weight I lost, he still chose her.
01:05:57Not only that, he was with Joy right after, no matter how much weight I lost, he still chose her.
01:06:08Nick was looking forward to the wedding because he was sure that he'd be marrying me.
01:06:16You must be imagining things.
01:06:20Maybe you were with someone else.
01:06:22So I really was with Joy.
01:06:24I really did betray my wife, and I'm really not worthy of her.
01:06:31Well, now we have our contract with Noah Hart, so I guess we can stop pretending, right?
01:06:38Yeah, if that's how you want to do things.
01:07:02You going somewhere?
01:07:03Noah, this couple, arrangement is over.
01:07:07Arrangement?
01:07:08This is a relationship.
01:07:11Claudia.
01:07:13Look.
01:07:15I know that I hurt you, okay?
01:07:17And I know that I failed you, but I'm here now.
01:07:21And I want to try.
01:07:22And I can change.
01:07:24Can you?
01:07:26Because I don't trust you.
01:07:28It's like you want me, and then the next second that changes.
01:07:31I mean, Joy walks in the room, and then I no longer even exist.
01:07:36Just tell me this.
01:07:38What happens if I gain weight?
01:07:42If I get pregnant, if I embarrass you, if literally anything changes, then what?
01:07:49What, you just don't even want me anymore?
01:07:51I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:07:55I mean, what kind of a relationship is it if everything is predicted off of me being perfect?
01:08:00Hey, hey, look.
01:08:01I don't care about any of that.
01:08:03Look, you asked me if I would take you back, and the answer is yes.
01:08:07Because I finally got to know you.
01:08:10And you are the only person that I want.
01:08:13Look, Claudia.
01:08:15I love you.
01:08:18I do.
01:08:24I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.
01:08:31Sign it.
01:08:32What is this?
01:08:40This is a divorce agreement.
01:08:56I can't believe I've gone back to Ben and Jerry's.
01:08:58Oh, a threesome?
01:09:02Spicy.
01:09:04Seriously, you're allowed some comfort without guilt.
01:09:08I'm just so angry at myself.
01:09:10You know, I came back here to make everyone regret how they treated me,
01:09:14and I promised myself that I wasn't going to let anyone make me feel like I was unworthy ever again.
01:09:20You know what I think?
01:09:22You made all these changes, but you forgot the big one.
01:09:27Right here.
01:09:28What do you mean?
01:09:31You lost weight.
01:09:32You look incredible.
01:09:34You're strong.
01:09:34You're healthy.
01:09:35But you still don't love yourself enough.
01:09:38No, that's not true.
01:09:39I do.
01:09:40I love myself.
01:09:41No, Nick told you again and again and again how he wanted you.
01:09:46If you loved yourself fully, you would have believed him.
01:09:52He cheated on me with joy.
01:09:54No, you don't really know that.
01:09:56But you do really know that Joy is a liar and a manipulative psycho bitch.
01:10:02So before you throw him away because you think he chose her,
01:10:07maybe at least try to check what actually happened?
01:10:18Hi, um, I'm calling, uh, this is Claudia Richardson.
01:10:23I was the sponsor of the event two nights ago.
01:10:27Yes, uh, something was stolen from my room.
01:10:29It was room, um, 843.
01:10:33Mm-hmm.
01:10:36Yes, I would love to see the security footage.
01:10:50Okay, okay.
01:10:53Fast forward.
01:10:57Tia, I told you.
01:11:00You slept with her.
01:11:02Patience.
01:11:07Well, that's the fastest affair in history.
01:11:13I mean, she was only there for like five minutes.
01:11:16I mean, either he did cheat and he finishes way too fast,
01:11:19which in that case, girl, good riddance.
01:11:21Or he was never with her and she lied.
01:11:24Bitch lied.
01:11:25I hate it.
01:11:37Uh, Claudia?
01:11:41Look, I haven't signed a divorce agreement yet, but I will.
01:11:45Don't worry about that.
01:11:47But is, is that why you came all the way out here?
01:11:56Claudia, what are you, what are you doing?
01:11:59You tried so many times to tell me how you felt.
01:12:02That you wanted me.
01:12:04That I couldn't believe you.
01:12:05I couldn't believe that you would love someone like me.
01:12:09How could anyone not love someone like you?
01:12:12Look, Claudia, I, I love you.
01:12:16And I am so mad at myself for ruining everything between us.
01:12:22You didn't ruin anything.
01:12:24I did.
01:12:25I, I'm still an insecure woman.
01:12:32And I didn't let you get close.
01:12:37Look, Claudia, I, um, I cheated on you.
01:12:45With joy.
01:12:48So, um.
01:12:54No, you didn't.
01:12:57You were with me that night.
01:13:01And it was perfect.
01:13:04Wait, so, so I wasn't with joy.
01:13:08So, so you and I?
01:13:14Claudia, I thought I destroyed everything.
01:13:17So what are you, what are you saying, Claudia?
01:13:21I'm saying that I'm willing to give you a chance.
01:13:25But I need time.
01:13:26I, I look different now, but I'm still me.
01:13:31And three months ago, I could barely leave the house.
01:13:35I was so insecure in my own skin.
01:13:37And I'm finally learning how to love myself.
01:13:42Look, you take all the time that you need.
01:13:45And I'm gonna be here.
01:13:48Always.
01:13:50Just don't hurt me again.
01:13:53Can I kiss you?
01:13:55Hey.
01:14:08If we shift the allocation, then we can accelerate the growth without any increased risk.
01:14:14Right.
01:14:17You know, every time you talk strategy, it drives me wild.
01:14:21Wait, what do you mean?
01:14:22Does it bother you?
01:14:24Bother me?
01:14:25No, no, no.
01:14:27It actually makes me feel kind of crazy.
01:14:34Really?
01:14:35Yeah, it's very strong, bold, powering.
01:14:41It's just hard to resist.
01:14:50I think people are gonna walk in here in a second.
01:14:54And I don't even care.
01:15:04What the hell?
01:15:08What the hell?
01:15:14Didn't you get divorced?
01:15:16Well, that's what you wanted.
01:15:17Well, along.
01:15:18Isn't it, Troy?
01:15:20To drive a wedge between us?
01:15:22To destroy my confidence?
01:15:24Then why?
01:15:25You are so beautiful and determined.
01:15:30I mean, you could have any job, any man that you wanted.
01:15:32So why?
01:15:33Why do you need to take mine?
01:15:36Because it's yours, Claudia.
01:15:39Dad always preferred you.
01:15:41He always loved you more.
01:15:42Everything was always about you.
01:15:45I mean, you took up all the space in the house.
01:15:47And yes, that was a fat joke, too.
01:15:50Oh, and it was really funny.
01:15:52Hmm.
01:15:53You know what's funnier, though?
01:15:55I was always so jealous of you.
01:15:57And then I stopped comparing myself to you,
01:15:59and I realized that I literally don't have anything to envy.
01:16:07Oh, you think you're better than me.
01:16:10Above me.
01:16:11Well, let's stop pretending.
01:16:13Because your wonderful man here cheated on you with me.
01:16:18Enough.
01:16:20Enough of your lies, okay?
01:16:21We know that you made up everything about that night.
01:16:24You sabotaged the elevator.
01:16:25You put her in harm's way.
01:16:27You could have hurt her.
01:16:28And that's unforgivable.
01:16:29Well, you have no evidence.
01:16:31We're not going to the cops.
01:16:33You're out.
01:16:34You're fired!
01:16:36You can't fire me.
01:16:38This is my father's company.
01:16:40And we are the CEOs.
01:16:42So you're fired.
01:16:53You okay?
01:16:54Yeah.
01:17:01I can't believe they fired me!
01:17:03Oh, they're going to pay for this.
01:17:11Documents you requested, Mom?
01:17:21Soon, everything will be mine.
01:17:24Claudia, Nick, both of you will pay.
01:17:52Well, well, well.
01:17:53You just shut down this entire room.
01:17:56Everything that you see here, the signing, this evening, the Noah Hart investment is all
01:18:01because of you.
01:18:02Your father would be proud, sweetie.
01:18:06That is very nice to hear.
01:18:09You contributed, too.
01:18:10A little.
01:18:13Have you seen my father?
01:18:14He needs to be here before the investor arrives.
01:18:16Uh, no.
01:18:17I haven't seen him yet.
01:18:19Huh.
01:18:20That's weird.
01:18:21It's not like him to be late for things like this.
01:18:23I hope nothing like that happens.
01:18:35Hello, Daddy.
01:18:37Joy?
01:18:38What are you doing here?
01:18:40I just thought we'd have a drink before the event tonight.
01:18:43Well, I'm pleasantly surprised, but, uh, you're still coming despite what happened with Claudia
01:18:48and Nick?
01:18:49Oh, Daddy, the company is what matters.
01:18:52And they're my family.
01:18:54I only want what's best for them.
01:18:56That's just great, Joy.
01:18:57I'm really proud of you.
01:18:59But, uh, you know how I hate being late.
01:19:01We have to go soon.
01:19:02Come on, Dad.
01:19:03Just one moment before Claudia soaks up all the attention.
01:19:08I know I'm not your favorite daughter, but I do work hard.
01:19:13Sweetheart, no.
01:19:15You know I love you, sweetheart.
01:19:17You know that.
01:19:19All right, uh, I guess one quick whiskey won't hurt, and then we go.
01:19:25Let's see.
01:19:50Sweetheart.
01:19:56To father-daughter time.
01:19:59To father-daughter time.
01:20:03Ow.
01:20:09I was, uh, I don't, I don't, uh, feel well.
01:20:14It's, uh...
01:20:17Dad, what is it?
01:20:19Uh, everything is, uh, spinning, and I, I can't, uh, I can't see clearly.
01:20:26It's probably just a dizzy spell.
01:20:28Wait here and rest for a second.
01:20:30Soon, Claudia, you'll finally be out of my way.
01:20:39Listen, Dad, while you're resting, we might as well be fishing and do some paperwork.
01:20:43Sign here.
01:20:44Paperwork?
01:20:45What?
01:20:45Yeah, uh, Claudia asked for some formality thing for tonight.
01:20:50Claudia asked for, well, if Claudia said to do it, then it's fine, I guess.
01:20:57No.
01:20:58Fine.
01:21:00Okay.
01:21:03Okay.
01:21:09Well, Noah Hart is here, and he hates people being late, so where is my father?
01:21:14No, no, no.
01:21:15Don't worry about it.
01:21:16Just relax.
01:21:17He'll be here any moment.
01:21:18No, I just, I have this bad feeling like something happened.
01:21:22Okay, one second.
01:21:24Hey, Gabby, can you please go to Jack Bridgerton's house, make sure he's okay, check up on him,
01:21:29get here immediately.
01:21:31Okay.
01:21:33Okay.
01:21:36That's it, Claudia.
01:21:38Now all of Dad's inheritance is mine.
01:21:41I'm the CEO now.
01:21:43Help.
01:21:44Help.
01:21:45I don't feel well.
01:21:47You should have thought about that before choosing Claudia over me our whole lives.
01:21:53And now?
01:21:55You'll have to die alone.
01:22:09What a nice celebration, huh?
01:22:12What?
01:22:13A little premature, wouldn't you say?
01:22:15We still haven't signed.
01:22:18Speaking of which, shall we?
01:22:20Mr. Hart, I, um, I'm so sorry.
01:22:24I know that you hate to delay things, and trust me, we do too.
01:22:29My father needs to be here.
01:22:33He's waited for this moment his whole life, and he wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:22:41Well, it looks like he is.
01:22:46Hello?
01:22:49Mr. Richardson?
01:22:50You home?
01:22:58I don't mean to be disrespectful to your father, but I have a full schedule ahead.
01:23:03Are we going to sign or what?
01:23:07Um, I think that your father would want us to go through with this and not lose this opportunity.
01:23:13You're right.
01:23:14And we can begin.
01:23:17Perfect.
01:23:18You two are about to sign a contract that's going to change your lives.
01:23:32Stop!
01:23:38Everybody stop.
01:23:40Claudia has no authority to sign.
01:23:42Your signature there means nothing.
01:23:45Dad signed a new agreement today.
01:23:47Claudia is out.
01:23:49I'm the new CEO.
01:23:51My company.
01:23:53I'm the one who signs.
01:23:55Nick, what's going on?
01:23:57There's nothing to worry about, I assure you.
01:24:00Joy has no authority here.
01:24:02She was fired, and now she is desperate for relevance.
01:24:05Nick's...
01:24:05No.
01:24:06Then explain this.
01:24:09Forging your father's signature now?
01:24:12Pretty desperate, even for you.
01:24:14No, Nick.
01:24:15This is...
01:24:15This is real.
01:24:17This is dad's signature.
01:24:18Is it?
01:24:24Joy Richardson, CEO.
01:24:26Shall we continue?
01:24:28No, no, no.
01:24:28This doesn't make any sense, okay?
01:24:30Jack never trusted you with anything.
01:24:32Oh, on the contrary.
01:24:34My dad trusted me with his life.
01:24:37He told me I was the beloved daughter.
01:24:40Not the one who disappeared for three months without telling him.
01:24:43So, smile, Nicky.
01:24:46You're finally free of Claudia.
01:24:48You can have me now.
01:24:50We can become the power couple we were always meant to be.
01:24:54Where is dad?
01:24:57Did you do something to him?
01:25:00Relax.
01:25:01Dad is fine.
01:25:02He just finally woke up.
01:25:04And you need to wake up, too.
01:25:06I know you didn't want to marry Claudia.
01:25:08You wanted to marry me.
01:25:11So now you can.
01:25:13Let's become the most gorgeous and strongest couple in the industry.
01:25:23Sign with me.
01:25:27Come on, Nicky.
01:25:28What are you waiting for?
01:25:30If you don't choose me, then my first act as CEO will be canceling this merger.
01:25:36No, no, you can't do that.
01:25:37Noah has signed with us already.
01:25:39Ooh, but he already signed.
01:25:42See?
01:25:42Now all it takes is my signature.
01:25:45Come on, Nicky.
01:25:49If you don't sign, then she's going to destroy everything.
01:25:52My wife's work.
01:25:53No, no, you are my wife.
01:25:55The company matters, but you matter more.
01:25:57And I'm not going to lose you again.
01:25:58No matter what.
01:26:02Oh, my God.
01:26:03Both of you are so stupid.
01:26:05But, hey.
01:26:08Better look next time, little boy.
01:26:11Okay.
01:26:13Stop this immediately!
01:26:17Everything she said is a lie.
01:26:21She drugged me and forced me to sign.
01:26:34Your jealousy has turned you into a monster.
01:26:39I'm ashamed of you.
01:26:41You're no longer my daughter.
01:26:44I can't forgive you for doing this.
01:26:46You're no longer my sister.
01:26:48Oh, boo-fucking-hoo!
01:26:49Since you're no longer family and you're not an employee,
01:26:54you're no longer here.
01:26:56Security!
01:27:01Wait, no, Claudia, what is this?
01:27:03You know, my instincts told me something bad happened to Dad.
01:27:06And I think that maybe you had something to do with it.
01:27:09And I believe her instincts, so that's why I call it security, just in case.
01:27:13You can't!
01:27:14You can't do this!
01:27:15We can!
01:27:15For attempted murder.
01:27:16Oh, you fat bitch!
01:27:18Don't regret this!
01:27:19I'm not finished with you!
01:27:23Oh, you fat bitch!
01:27:26It is a long story.
01:27:28Yes.
01:27:30Right.
01:27:32Wow.
01:27:33If the family drama's over, shall we, dare I say, sign?
01:27:38Yes.
01:27:38Yes!
01:27:40Mm!
01:27:49I do have one more thing to say.
01:27:53Claudia, I know that I ruined our wedding day,
01:27:57but you deserve nothing more than your dream wedding.
01:28:02So?
01:28:07Will you marry me?
01:28:13Yes.
01:28:14Oh my God, yes, yes, yes.
01:28:20Partners.
01:28:22In every way possible.
