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