00:00:03Urgent? Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:10I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:12Who's the candidate?
00:00:14Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:27Miss me, babe?
00:00:30Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:34You're the only gift I want.
00:00:36There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:41If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:00:47Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:02Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:04Something urgent came up at the institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:09Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:16Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:24You're seriously here to submit the application? You should've discussed it with Mark.
00:01:32That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees, begging for mercy.
00:01:36Come on, we're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:38No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:01:45Come on, Helmar. Be good.
00:01:48You're good.
00:01:49I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:07Let go of me.
00:02:09Stella, please let me explain.
00:02:12Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:16It's not what it looks like.
00:02:18She's the daughter of a potential investor. Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:21I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:23Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:27It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:30If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest.
00:02:32I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:02:36Don't you ever say that.
00:02:38Divorce is not an option.
00:02:41We work through things.
00:02:45Work through what?
00:02:45Him sleeping with someone else?
00:02:49It's... nothing.
00:02:51I saw the name.
00:02:53Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:10Clear them all out.
00:03:12Who?
00:03:13What?
00:03:15Who?
00:03:16Who?
00:03:17Who?
00:03:17Who?
00:03:18Who?
00:03:18Who?
00:03:22Who?
00:03:26Sorry, this card's no longer valid.
00:03:28That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:03:32It's cancelled now.
00:03:34What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:03:41How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:03:43You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:03:47Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:03:51If you're so brave enough to be a lover, don't finish being innocent.
00:03:55I speak 16 languages.
00:04:19Even if I walk in on you in bed, I should protect the family name?
00:04:22She's just a friend!
00:04:26Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:04:28And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:04:31And you, dear husband, don't get jealous.
00:04:51Mark, this is the end of us.
00:05:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:05:05It's time to end it.
00:05:18Whiskey on the rocks.
00:05:24Where the hell is she?
00:05:46Same.
00:05:51She wouldn't dare go to someone else!
00:05:53Calm down. She's just throwing a fit.
00:05:56Insane woman. What a disgrace.
00:06:05Wanna be my one-night stand?
00:06:09Don't worry. I'm fun and clean.
00:06:12Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:06:39We're going home.
00:06:42I'm not going anywhere.
00:06:45What are you doing acting like this?
00:06:52She doesn't want to. Don't force her.
00:06:54Who are you? This is none of your business.
00:07:01He's my friend.
00:07:03Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:07:05And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:07:11Mark, calm down. Let's go.
00:07:14Friends? Is that what you call it last night?
00:07:18Stop lying!
00:07:20Stop acting.
00:07:21I see right through you.
00:07:27Let's go.
00:07:29Now!
00:07:30I said don't force her.
00:07:39I want a divorce.
00:07:43No!
00:07:44We don't do divorce!
00:07:50Sorry, it's Syria.
00:07:59I don't know.
00:08:25The big shot is coming today.
00:08:27Just focus on work.

00:08:44I believe you are in practice.
00:08:46I believe you are in practice.
00:08:48What is what I hope?
00:08:49Stella, your turn.
00:08:54The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:09:24How long do you plan to hide?
00:09:25I wasn't hiding.
00:09:29Put this on.
00:09:35I'll return it later.
00:09:59Who is he?
00:10:00What are you to him?
00:10:03None of your business.
00:10:09It's another man's coat.
00:10:11You're wearing another man's coat.
00:10:13We're divorcing.
00:10:14You don't get to control me.

00:21:53William isn't just a brilliant researcher Stella
00:21:55the Briggs family owns half of Brissette
00:21:56he's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire
00:22:00his family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals
00:22:02I just need to get on his team
00:22:04imagine if you actually won him over
00:22:05wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?

00:22:10it's a win-win
00:22:11Lainey my mind is on research

00:23:39Stella
00:23:39there's nothing going on with Haley
00:23:41this is business
00:23:42the Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level
00:23:45her father suggested she get experience with us
00:23:48with her background in international law
00:23:49the legal department is a perfect fit
00:23:52and what does her job have to do with me?
00:23:56this is why I brought it up
00:23:57if your patent stays with us
00:23:59it'll be the first project Haley takes on

00:25:13Hey, Allegra, what's going on?
00:25:15Miss Russell?
00:25:17Mr. Walsh asked me to inform.
00:25:19Stoke Harsch, veteran Cormu, you need to come to the office today.
00:25:24I'm sorry, Allegra, but I've decided not to work with your company anymore.
00:25:27I won't be coming in.
00:25:28I know you've made up your mind, but Mr. Walsh said if you don't come, it would be my error.
00:25:33He said I could lose my job.
00:25:36Wait, are you saying Mark would fire you just because I refused to come?
00:25:39He said he'd make sure no one else in the industry hires me.
00:25:42I know this is emotional blackmail, but it's fine.
00:25:45I'll find a way.
00:25:49That shameless bastard.
00:25:51Miss Russell, please don't make it worse for yourself because of me.
00:25:55I'll come.
00:25:57Don't worry, Allegra.
00:25:59This isn't your fault.
00:26:00He's targeting me, not you.
00:26:02I won't let you lose your job over this.
00:26:05Thank you so much, Miss Russell.
00:26:16Mrs. Walsh, what are you doing here?
00:26:17You shouldn't go in.
00:26:18That Haley girl is targeting you.
00:26:20She's scolding the whole team, calling them useless for not landing the deal.
00:26:24It's all right, Evie.
00:26:26Well, look who finally decided to show up.
00:26:29You were so high and mighty yesterday, acting like you didn't need the contract.
00:26:33And now, you're back to sign it.
00:26:35If you were going to crawl back anyway, what was all that drama for?
00:26:40What the hell are you pretending for?
00:26:42If Mark hadn't dragged innocent people into this, I wouldn't be here.
00:26:45So this is your talent?
00:26:47Manipulating people who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:26:49Impressive.
00:26:50Stella, all's fair in love and war.
00:26:51If it works, it works.
00:26:52Now sign the damn contract right now.
00:26:54No, I'm not signing anything.
00:26:56You?
00:26:57Mrs. Walsh, please.
00:26:58If something's bothering you, let's talk it through.
00:27:00You are Mr. Walsh's wife.
00:27:01Just tell us what you need.
00:27:02The reason I'm not renewing the contract?
00:27:04Simple.
00:27:05It's her.
00:27:07If you want my signature, tell your Mr. Walsh to show me some sincerity.
00:27:11Start by kicking Haley out of the company and make sure she leaves humiliated.
00:27:16Who do you think you are, Stella?
00:27:18It's just one damn patent.
00:27:20You think this entire company revolves around you?
00:27:23Well, guess what?
00:27:24I'm not going anywhere.
00:27:26Keep dreaming.
00:27:29Mrs. Walsh, wait.
00:27:30Allow me to walk you out.
00:27:31Please, if you don't mind me saying, could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:27:35Haley isn't fit for this role.
00:27:36He still has feelings for you.
00:27:38He'll listen to you.
00:27:44Choria's a big city, Allegra.
00:27:46There's no shortage of companies here that would value someone like you.
00:27:49I understand.
00:27:50Take care, Mrs. Walsh.
00:28:00Mark, you should have seen her.
00:28:02She was completely out of line.
00:28:03I was only doing what you told me to, and she turned around and told me to get lost.
00:28:07All right, don't get too worked up.
00:28:09I understand you're angry.
00:28:11Why don't I take you to your favorite place for dinner tonight?
00:28:13No.
00:28:14I want Stella to kneel and apologize to me.
00:28:17Make her mark, please.
00:28:23Haley, you really think you're that important?
00:28:29What did you just say?
00:28:30Stella is my wife, and always will be.
00:28:33What's between us is nothing more than a fling.
00:28:37You're joking, right?
00:28:39If you don't like it, you're free to leave.
00:28:44I was just messing around.
00:28:45Don't be mad.
00:28:46I'll let it go, but you owe me.
00:28:49Fine.
00:28:50Whatever you ask, just leave Stella alone.
00:29:06Hello?
00:29:06There's a party tonight.
00:29:07I got an invite.
00:29:08I'm wiped out.
00:29:09I don't have energy.
00:29:10William's attending.
00:29:11Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:29:13I got an invite.
00:29:14All right.
00:29:15I'll come.
00:29:16Send me the details.
00:29:22Mark, you're incredible.
00:29:34Hi, Stella.
00:29:41Stella, what's with this outfit?
00:29:43Is there something wrong with it?
00:29:44We're here to drink, not sign contracts.
00:29:47Good thing I planned ahead.
00:29:48Change now.
00:29:55Isn't this dress too daring?
00:29:57Perfect.
00:29:57You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:30:06Brady, meet Stella.
00:30:08Stella, this is Brady.
00:30:09Hello.
00:30:10Many try to get close to William.
00:30:12Take your time.
00:30:17Mr. Briggs, she has project questions for you.
00:30:27Exactly how long were you thinking of sitting like that?
00:30:34I'm so sorry.
00:30:35Sorry, Mr. Briggs.
00:30:36This wasn't intentional.
00:30:37Just give me a second.
00:30:39You'll have to do better than that.
00:30:41If you're staging an act, put in more effort.
00:30:43That's not what you think.
00:30:45I'm here about the project roster.
00:30:46I'm hoping you'll give me a shot.
00:30:49Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:30:52I have papers and patents.
00:30:54I can bring value to the project.
00:30:56Clearly, your talents stretch past what you let slip.
00:31:01Wait!
00:31:10It was a misunderstanding.
00:31:12I just want to join the project.
00:31:24Explaining will only make it worse.
00:31:34Mark, what are you staring at?
00:31:36Nothing.
00:31:40Mr. Briggs, I meant every word.
00:31:42Please, give it thought.
00:31:44Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:31:45Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:31:47It wasn't what you think.
00:31:48It was an accident.
00:31:50You're skilled at attracting men.
00:31:52But I dislike forward women.
00:31:54I take pride in my work.
00:31:55I'm not the woman you think.
00:31:59I won't bother you again.
00:32:05Where's Stella?
00:32:06Didn't she leave with you?
00:32:07Not sure.
00:32:08Looks like she decided to go.
00:32:09Mr. Briggs, I made her wear the dress.
00:32:10She came in a shirt and jeans.
00:32:26Mr. Briggs, I heard you're hand-picking top talents for the new project.
00:32:30Go ahead.
00:32:31Stella Russell.
00:32:32She's the author of the field-shaking paper on biologically active if factors.
00:32:36So she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:32:48You were gone all day.
00:32:49Who were you fooling around with?
00:32:50I was in the lab.
00:32:51It's the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume on you that makes me sick.
00:32:55Fine.
00:32:55Have it your way.
00:33:02Stella!
00:33:03Open the door!
00:33:19Good morning, Miss Russell.
00:33:20I'm Luca, Mr. Briggs' assistant.
00:33:22We have an opening to assist Mr. Briggs with document handling, and you're perfect for it.
00:33:26No.
00:33:26Thanks.
00:33:27But this position doesn't suit me.
00:33:28I'd rather join a group with my peers.
00:33:30Miss Russell, this is a great opportunity.
00:33:37Is everything settled?
00:33:38Mr. Briggs, Miss Russell turned down the offer.
00:33:41Smart girl.
00:33:46Stella, we just finished today's data.
00:33:49Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:33:50Okay.
00:33:54William just set off with the underground garage.
00:33:56It's still possible to catch up.
00:33:59Okay.
00:34:14Are you courting death?
00:34:16Mr. Briggs, these files need your immediate review.
00:34:18Get in.
00:34:19We'll go over them as we drive.
00:34:26Stella is my wife.
00:34:28Who is this man?
00:34:29How dare she smile at him like that?
00:34:34You're a lot more tempting now than when you played innocent yesterday.
00:34:37Mr. Briggs, you can just leave the documents here.
00:34:40I won't follow you.
00:34:41Could you drop me off here?
00:34:48That night, I returned to our empty house and started throwing out every memory of Mark.
00:34:52The cups we made on vacation.
00:34:54I remember wishing on a shooting star that we would be happy together forever.
00:34:58What a joke.
00:34:59People change.
00:35:00I see that now.
00:35:08Stella, I waited for you at the Institute for Ages.
00:35:10Did you leave by another exit?
00:35:12I got a lift home with a colleague.
00:35:17Now I have a free week.
00:35:19What do you say we try for a baby?
00:35:21Mark, I've already told you.
00:35:23I don't want a baby right now.
00:35:26But after all these years, you always talked about wanting one before.
00:35:31Before was a long time ago.
00:35:34Tell me, Mark.
00:35:36How are those condoms from Raskate working out for you?
00:35:39I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:35:41You knew?
00:35:44All this time?
00:35:45I've always known.
00:35:47Stella, wait!
00:35:48Just let me explain!
00:35:50Stella!
00:35:51Open this door!
00:35:52We need to talk about this!
00:35:57Fine.
00:35:58I'll make you dinner.
00:35:59You always soften up when I cook for you.
00:36:06Wait a minute.
00:36:07Where's your coffee maker?
00:36:09It's always right here on the counter.
00:36:10Stella!
00:36:11What happened to the capsule coffee maker from the kitchen?
00:36:13Where is it?
00:36:20Stella, open up!
00:36:21Where is the coffee machine?
00:36:24It stopped working.
00:36:25I brought it out for repairs.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:27Well, hey, Stella.
00:36:29I really messed up.
00:36:30Please, give me another chance.
00:36:33I made your favorite meal.
00:36:34Come downstairs and eat with me?
00:36:37I'm not hungry.
00:36:38I think I'll skip it.
00:36:43Okay.
00:36:44What about that coat you got me?
00:36:45I checked the closet.
00:36:46It wasn't there.
00:36:50I got the wrong size.
00:36:51I sent it back.
00:36:52Sent it back?
00:36:54Why not just swap it for another one?
00:36:56Lately, your whole look has shifted.
00:36:58I wasn't sure what you'd actually wear.
00:37:00Anyway, it's not like you're short on clothes.
00:37:02You've got tons already.
00:37:04But you picked that coat for me, Stella.
00:37:06Whatever you choose, I'll always like it.
00:37:09I'm exhausted.
00:37:10I'm turning in for the night.
00:37:24Keep watch on her.
00:37:26I want updates on everything she does.
00:37:35I want to marry Stella and cherish her forever.
00:37:37Only time can prove a promise like that, Mark.
00:37:39We'll be old and worn by then.
00:37:40A lifetime is exactly what I plan to give you.
00:37:43I'll spend every bit of it keeping that promise.
00:38:04Mark, how long are you going to stare at that screen?
00:38:07Look at me for once.
00:38:09Stella's being impossible.
00:38:11Why won't she just sign?
00:38:13Does she really think we're powerless?
00:38:15If she walks away, we'll find someone else.
00:38:17You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:38:18The company is in chaos because of you.
00:38:20Me?
00:38:21I'm just trying to help.
00:38:22Why are Nose Camp not you?
00:38:24She's the one causing problems.
00:38:26Just be quiet for a moment.
00:38:37What is it?
00:38:38Why did you freeze?
00:38:40Leave.
00:38:43What?
00:38:43But we were just discussing the contract.
00:38:46I said...
00:38:48Leave.
00:38:50Now.
00:38:55I'm staying.
00:38:56Unless there's something you're hiding from me, Mark.
00:39:00Why would she be there now?
00:39:02Something isn't right.
00:39:08Legal department.
00:39:09Revite the contracts on my desk immediately.
00:39:12Mark, wait!
00:39:13Where are you going?
00:39:14What's wrong with the contracts?
00:39:15Did I mess something up?
00:39:21Hold on!
00:39:22I spent hours on those.
00:39:24Why are you taking them back?
00:39:25You're nothing but a useless leech.
00:39:28You work in legal, don't you?
00:39:30You just sit there like a statue while I do all the real work.
00:39:34What does this company even pay you for?
00:39:36Decoration?
00:39:37Effective immediately.
00:39:38Forget about your year-end bonus.
00:39:42Mrs. Smith,
00:39:43Have you actually looked at the contracts you're so proud of?
00:39:46They don't even follow basic company formatting.
00:39:48It's laughable.
00:39:49A child with half a brain could have done better.
00:39:51You!
00:39:51Who do you think you are talking to me like that?
00:39:53I'll mark fire you on the spot!
00:39:56Too late.
00:39:57My resignation's already been submitted.
00:39:58You missed your chance to kick me out.
00:40:01And since we're being honest,
00:40:02I can't stomach people who climb with favors
00:40:04and destroy families in the process.
00:40:06You tick both boxes.
00:40:08Also, newsflash,
00:40:09waving your foreign passport around doesn't make you special.
00:40:11Trash from abroad is still trash.
00:40:16You shameless witch!
00:40:17Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?
00:40:18Try acting like you went to college
00:40:20instead of hurling insults and making a spectacle of yourself.
00:40:22Anyway, I'm not on the payroll anymore.
00:40:24Cut my year-end bonus if it makes you happy.
00:40:26I'm done here.
00:40:27Did you see that?
00:40:29Who knew Alelica had that kind of nerve?
00:40:30She was pushed too far.
00:40:31Some people just dig their own graves.
00:40:33You clueless idiots!
00:40:34Just wait until Mark gets back!
00:40:36I'll make sure every single one of you is out on the street!
00:40:41Stella, you can't keep running yourself into the ground like this.
00:40:44What if you faint?
00:40:45I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:40:47Trust me, I know my limits.
00:40:49Hey, the list just came out!
00:40:50Come on, let's take a look!
00:40:51You could use a breaker.
00:40:57No.
00:40:58I must have skinned past it.
00:40:59Let me look again, from the top.
00:41:05Lainey?
00:41:07It's not there.
00:41:08My name simply isn't there.
00:41:10What?
00:41:10That's impossible!
00:41:13I'm looking right at it!
00:41:15How can you not be on the list?
00:41:21Hey, it's alright.
00:41:23Missing out on this one isn't the end of the world.
00:41:25I'm fine, really.
00:41:27You sure?
00:41:27You don't look fine.
00:41:28Honestly, I'm okay.
00:41:29Don't fuss over me.
00:41:30Go take care of your own work.
00:41:36If I can't join the project, so be it.
00:41:39The marriage is already finished.
00:41:41It's time to disappear for a while.
00:41:43Miss Russell, try not to let the list get to you.
00:41:46Luca, you really have no talent for comforting people, you know that?
00:41:49Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:41:51If you're not busy, maybe you should come.
00:41:53It might give him a chance to reconsider.
00:41:55You helped him with his plans.
00:41:56If he made up his mind to exclude me, what's the point in showing up to beg?
00:41:59That won't be necessary.
00:42:01Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:42:02I'm sure he's found someone better suited for the team.
00:42:08Mark will discover the divorce agreement sooner or later.
00:42:10He'll move heaven and earth to hunt me down.
00:42:12But his attention is tangled up with Haley now.
00:42:14He won't waste much effort tracking me if I vanish completely from his radar.
00:42:18The farther I run, the safely I'll be.
00:42:24Stella, you're taking leave.
00:42:25Is this because you weren't on the project list?
00:42:27I just need a break, Lainey.
00:42:29You've seen how hard I've been working.
00:42:31You deserve it.
00:42:31You're always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
00:42:34Rest well.
00:42:37Mr. Briggs, that's Ms. Russell.
00:42:38She took extended leave today.
00:42:40She doesn't look happy.
00:42:41Should we tell her the truth about the team selection?
00:42:43She saw us.
00:42:46Sir, she's walking away.
00:42:47Fast.
00:42:48She's running.
00:42:49It's fine.
00:42:49She's not the delicate type.
00:42:50Drive.
00:42:52Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:42:53Where are you?
00:42:57Blocked.
00:42:58She actually blocked my number.
00:43:02If she's not coming home, where is she going?
00:43:09There she is.
00:43:10Finally.
00:43:11Wait a minute.
00:43:15It's the same one she got into before.
00:43:26How could Stella have any tie to William Briggs?
00:43:40Stella, why haven't you come home these past few days?
00:43:42I've just had a lot going on.
00:43:44So being busy means you have to clear out all your things?
00:43:46Half the house is empty, Stella, and everything missing belongs to you.
00:43:50You even blocked my number.
00:43:51And the wedding photo, it's gone.
00:43:53Where did you put everything, Stella?
00:43:54So he finally noticed.
00:43:56I ran into a little financial trouble, so I pawned my things.
00:43:59Once I've sorted things out, I'll get them back.
00:44:01If you needed money, why didn't you just tell me?
00:44:03There was no reason to pawn your things.
00:44:05Take these.
00:44:06Use them for whatever you want.
00:44:08That's not necessary.
00:44:10I've already sorted the money myself.
00:44:11You can keep those cards.
00:44:12Stella, what are you hiding from me?
00:44:14We're still husband and wife.
00:44:15No matter what's going on, good or bad, you can tell me.
00:44:18I'll handle it with you.
00:44:18You don't have to shoulder everything alone.
00:44:23There's nothing to tell.
00:44:25Work's been busy at the Institute, and I have a business trip coming up.
00:44:28I'll be out of town for a while.
00:44:31Wait!
00:44:38Go to the airport.
00:44:44So he's tailing me.
00:45:08Ma'am, if you help me out, I'll give you $500.
00:45:11When you head back in, just dump the water from your bucket onto the man waiting outside
00:45:14the restroom.
00:45:16He's been following me since I left home.
00:45:17I'm desperate.
00:45:18Please, if you can pull this off, the money's yours.
00:45:21Please, don't let him know I'm gone.
00:45:22And thank you.
00:45:23Really.
00:45:31What the hell are you doing?
00:45:33Oh my goodness, sir.
00:45:33I'm so sorry.
00:45:34I didn't see you standing there.
00:45:35I thought you were just part of the plumbing.
00:45:38Oh gosh, let me get that for you.
00:45:41Oh my gosh.
00:45:47I'm sorry.
00:45:48I'm sorry.
00:45:48I'm really sorry.
00:45:49Enough!
00:45:50Just go!
00:45:51Don't bother me!
00:45:56Stella, do you really think this will get rid of me?
00:46:04Hello, Stella.
00:46:06How much longer are you going to keep pestering Mark?
00:46:08He's finished with you.
00:46:09Why don't you have a little dignity and let go?
00:46:11Maybe you need a reminder, Hayley.
00:46:12Mark and I are still married.
00:46:13The law is on my side.
00:46:14So tell me, who gave you permission to call me and hurl accusations?
00:46:18I'm not here to fight with you!
00:46:20Why don't you come over so we can talk face to face?
00:46:23It's simple.
00:46:24The one who isn't loved is always the third wheel.
00:46:27Take my advice and know your place.
00:46:29Is this really what the Smith family taught you?
00:46:32To meddle in marriages and play the mistress?
00:46:34It's almost admirable how you can spout this nonsense without a single scrap of dignity.
00:46:39You'd better watch your mouth!
00:46:40I've got better things to do than play along with your bullshit.
00:46:42Maybe try focusing on the Walsh group's plummeting profits instead of pestering me.
00:46:49Stella, how could you speak to Hayley like that?
00:46:51So you're her backup.
00:46:52Of course.
00:46:52Siding with anyone you think can benefit your precious son.
00:46:54You better show up right now.
00:46:55Let me make this clear.
00:46:56Clinging to my son will get you nowhere.
00:46:58You are nothing but a burden to our family.
00:46:59Come to the Voyage Hotel immediately.
00:47:01If not, you can face the consequences.
00:47:06Fine.
00:47:06I'm on my way.
00:47:20So, you finally bothered to show up.
00:47:22I want you to divorce my son right now.
00:47:25And why is that?
00:47:26What have you ever done for the Walsh family?
00:47:28You can't even give us a child.
00:47:30Useless.
00:47:30There's no place for a barren hen like you.
00:47:32Her family is nothing.
00:47:34Raised without manners.
00:47:36You shouldn't lower yourself, Jaiselyn.
00:47:38Get those divorce papers ready by Monday.
00:47:40I refuse to tolerate you for one more day.
00:47:43Fine.
00:47:44I'll divorce him.
00:47:46What do you want out of this, Stella?
00:47:48I'm not making any demands.
00:47:50Divorce is fine by me.
00:47:55But, Jaiselyn, I expect you to pay back every cent I spent on your beauty appointments and imported supplements.
00:48:00The health supplements you're taking every month, why not ask Mark who's really footing the bill?
00:48:04And everyone at the casino knows exactly how many toes you've stepped on.
00:48:08Stella, don't you dare get greedy with me.
00:48:10Why should I pay you back a cent?
00:48:11Those supplements?
00:48:12My son paid for them.
00:48:13As for the salon visits, I cover those with my own membership.
00:48:15Stella, honestly, isn't this a little beneath you?
00:48:17Or could it be you're not actually ready for this divorce?
00:48:19And you're just making excuses to keep Jaiselyn on a leash?
00:48:22I'm just laying out the truth here.
00:48:23That membership card you're so fond of?
00:48:25My friend owns the salon.
00:48:26I got you a 90% discount.
00:48:27Please, Mrs. Walsh, don't worry.
00:48:29From now on, I'll make sure you have everything you need.
00:48:30Your standard of living drop, I swear.
00:48:32Supplements, salon treatments, I have plenty of connections.
00:48:33I'll handle it all.
00:48:34These are just the tip of the ice.
00:48:36Fine.
00:48:36If you claim all that's gone, then so be it.
00:48:38But I want you to divorce my son right now!
00:48:40All right.
00:48:41But a divorce requires both parties to show up.
00:48:43If you can get Mark here, I won't stand in your way.
00:48:47If you're so determined, maybe spend your energy convincing him instead of wasting mine.
00:48:55She really has no idea what's coming.
00:48:57We gave her the chance to bow out gracefully, and she turned it down.
00:49:00She'll see.
00:49:01Once her name's dragged through the mud, Mark won't even look her way.
00:49:03And by then, leaving won't be her decision anymore.
00:49:06Jaiselyn, you're the best.
00:49:07I swear.
00:49:07I'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had.
00:49:32Mr. Briggs, I really believe Ms. Russell is the ideal choice for the project.
00:49:37She's head and shoulders above the others.
00:49:39Also, earlier today, when she saw our car, she looked hesitant, almost anxious, and left right after.
00:49:44It felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood.
00:49:45Honestly, sir, I don't believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be.
00:49:48She's always been composed and respectful in everything she does.
00:49:51My attention is needed elsewhere.
00:49:53Inform me of our guest's arrival.
00:49:57It looked like Stella.
00:50:00No, it couldn't have been her.
00:50:23Please.
00:50:24I'll give you anything you want.
00:50:26Just let me go.
00:50:30Quit fighting.
00:50:32We're not here to harm you.
00:50:33We just need a few dirty pictures.
00:50:35Pictures?
00:50:36What kind of pictures?
00:50:43Who asked you to do this?
00:50:44I have money.
00:50:45Whatever they paid you, I'll match it and add more.
00:50:46Don't bother.
00:50:47This will be over soon if you stop fighting.
00:50:48You're committing a crime.
00:50:49Sooner or later, you'll be arrested.
00:50:50I will report everything, and none of you will walk away clean.
00:50:53Or, you take my money now, walk out that door, and I never mention this again.
00:50:55Think it over.
00:50:56Don't waste your energy.
00:50:58Hayley?
00:51:00There's no way out.
00:51:02Since we're going to stage something like this, it better look real.
00:51:05Stage what?
00:51:06People care about believability now.
00:51:08These are your props.
00:51:10Use them however you want.
00:51:11And don't bother with condoms.
00:51:18Hayley, this is illegal!
00:51:20You think foreign citizenship makes you untouchable?
00:51:24You bunch of wimps.
00:51:26I'll handle it.
00:51:29And you, Stella.
00:51:30You really think you're on Mark's level?
00:51:32He's the one who told me to do this.
00:51:34He wants you punished.
00:51:43There.
00:51:44The contract is binding.
00:51:46Your patent rights now belong to my family.
00:51:47For free.
00:51:48She's all yours, boys.
00:51:49Enjoy.
00:51:50Damn, you smell good.
00:51:51So soft.
00:51:52But you look real pretty crying.
00:51:54Which toy should we use first?
00:51:56Don't touch me.
00:52:02What the hell?
00:52:03Get these bastards out of here.
00:52:05No!
00:52:06Let go of me!
00:52:12Are you alright?
00:52:15The ropes are off.
00:52:16You're safe now.
00:52:19I'm alright, thanks.
00:52:21Come on.
00:52:22Let's get you out of here.
00:52:30Let's get you out of here.
00:52:37Mr. Briggs, we've identified those people, but...
00:52:41Say it.
00:52:42She deserves the truth.
00:52:43Some of them carry infectious diseases.
00:52:45If they'd laid a hand on Mrs. Russell, the fallout would have been catastrophic.
00:52:49Hayley, she meant to destroy me.
00:52:51Mr. Briggs, thank you for everything you've done today.
00:52:53But from here on out, I'll handle it myself.
00:52:55This isn't your battle.
00:53:03A clean divorce was all I wanted.
00:53:05But their cruelty has gone too far.
00:53:07If that's how they want to play, then I'm finished being merciful.
00:53:18Where do you think you're going?
00:53:20Your IV's still running.
00:53:38Stella, what on earth happened to you?
00:53:41I'm alright, Lainey.
00:53:44You are not alright.
00:53:45Oh dear, what happened?
00:53:46Don't be scared, I'm right here.
00:53:48Tell me who did this to you.
00:53:53It was Mark and Hayley.
00:53:56Mark?
00:53:57Did he lay a hand on you?
00:53:59Has he completely lost his mind?
00:54:01No, he didn't touch me.
00:54:02Can we talk inside?
00:54:06Hayley did that to you?
00:54:07She ought to be behind bars.
00:54:09She forced me to imprint my fingerprint on the document when I had no strength left.
00:54:13They didn't partner with me, Lainey.
00:54:14They stole the patent.
00:54:16Don't stress, I'll help you get it back.
00:54:19I found another buyer for you.
00:54:20I've been putting together the contract.
00:54:22But Hayley already took the contract with my fingerprint.
00:54:25The buyer I found is trustworthy.
00:54:27Once you sign his contract, he'll take care of everything.
00:54:29What Hayley did was illegal.
00:54:34I can't believe Mark.
00:54:36All those years he acted like the perfect partner.
00:54:38It was a fa-facade.
00:54:39It makes me sick.
00:54:40How could he be so cruel?
00:54:42Now that everything had blown up, I had no intention of that.
00:54:45I had no intention of playing nice anymore.
00:54:48Lainey, I need a little help.
00:54:50Name it.
00:54:51As long as it's something I can do, I'm on your side.
00:54:56Could you help me with this?
00:55:08She's cutting me off.
00:55:10Proving a point.
00:55:12Hayley, where are you?
00:55:13At the spa.
00:55:13Why?
00:55:14Miss me already?
00:55:15There's a charity gala tomorrow night.
00:55:16Come with me.
00:55:16With you?
00:55:17To a public event?
00:55:18Of course.
00:55:19This is perfect.
00:55:20Tomorrow everyone will see the photos of Stella's humiliation.
00:55:22Mark will have no choice but to drop her for good.
00:55:23But Mark, I don't have a dress.
00:55:26I'll pick you up early.
00:55:27We'll go shopping.
00:55:28You're the best.
00:55:29Love you.
00:55:29This gala is important.
00:55:30A new partner will be there.
00:55:31Hayley's family name might just give me the edge I need.
00:55:34Stella wants to fight dirty?
00:55:35I can play that game too.
00:55:37Mark, what about this one?
00:55:39Yeah, looks good.
00:55:40You haven't even looked.
00:55:41Look at me properly.
00:55:42It suits you.
00:55:42The color works.
00:55:43I'll take it.
00:55:44Stella never needed all this.
00:55:45A t-shirt, a ponytail, ten minutes and she was ready.
00:55:47Not a whole day.
00:55:53Who's that with Mr. Walsh?
00:55:54The Smith girl?
00:55:54They look awfully close.
00:55:56Is it an affair?
00:55:57No way.
00:55:58Did Mr. Walsh already divorce his wife?
00:56:02Divorce.
00:56:05Divorce.
00:56:12Let them whisper, Mark.
00:56:13Tonight, they see you with me, not her.
00:56:15Keep your chin up and ignore them.
00:56:17We need to find Mr. Williams.
00:56:18Today is the day Stella finally loses everything.
00:56:23Mr. Williams, it's been too long.
00:56:25Mr. Walsh, a pleasure.
00:56:27And you are?
00:56:28Hayley, I'm a great admirer of your work, sir.
00:56:31I see.
00:56:34Williams, there you are.
00:56:35We need to talk.
00:56:36Mark, forget him.
00:56:37It's time.
00:56:42Nothing.
00:56:42Nothing.
00:56:42There's nothing here.
00:56:43What are you talking about?
00:56:44Put the phone away.
00:56:45Where is Jaiselyn?
00:56:45She had all day.
00:56:46Did she get cold feet?
00:56:47Come here.
00:56:48Now.
00:56:49Ladies, I must be going.
00:56:50My son and daughter-in-law need me.
00:56:52Daughter-in-law?
00:56:52Since when?
00:56:55A message from Hayley.
00:56:56She must have the photos already.
00:56:58She wants me there for the big reveal.
00:57:00Oh, this is going to be perfect.
00:57:07Jaiselyn!
00:57:08Jaiselyn!
00:57:09Jaiselyn!
00:57:11You look gorgeous.
00:57:12Did Mark pick it?
00:57:14He did.
00:57:15He said the color suits me.
00:57:18Darling, why did you call me here?
00:57:20My mother is arriving soon to sign a major deal with Mark.
00:57:22But with my current status, things are complicated.
00:57:26Stella signed away the patent.
00:57:28She has nothing left to bargain with.
00:57:30She's powerless now.
00:57:32Don't worry, dear.
00:57:33I understand perfectly.
00:57:35I will handle it.
00:57:41Mom.
00:57:42What the hell are you doing here?
00:57:46Why shouldn't I be here, Mark?
00:57:48To tell everyone the truth about your pathetic wife?
00:57:51Don't you dare.
00:57:52Stella is not worthy of you.
00:57:55She's been messing around with other men behind your back.
00:58:02A shameless woman dragging the Walsh name through the mud.
00:58:09You need to divorce her.
00:58:11Divorce her right now before she ruins us all.
00:58:14That's enough.
00:58:18What nonsense are you spouting in front of everyone?
00:58:24Look at you, Mark.
00:58:25Still defending that woman?
00:58:27She's been cheating on you.
00:58:28Haley is the one who deserves you.
00:58:30Divorce Stella already.
00:58:32Don't worry, Jaslyn.
00:58:33I'll take good care of Mark.
00:58:36Cheating?
00:58:36What are you talking about?
00:58:38Stella would never...
00:58:39Mom, what are you really doing here?
00:58:41I told you, I've seen the disgusting photos.
00:58:44And you're still defending her?
00:58:46Here.
00:58:47Stella signed this contract herself.
00:58:49She's guilty, Mark.
00:58:50She's trying to clean up her mess quietly.
00:58:52She signed this?
00:58:53Why?
00:58:54Was my mother right?
00:58:56Did she betray me with William?
00:59:01Stella.
00:59:08It can't be...
00:59:09After everything we did, how is she standing there?
00:59:12She wouldn't dare show her face.
00:59:15Not tonight.
00:59:16Not after those photos.
00:59:24Mark, don't let her intimidate you.
00:59:26My family is reasonable.
00:59:28They won't judge you for leaving her.
00:59:33Mr. Walsh, our family usually wouldn't consider a divorced man.
00:59:35But since Haley has chosen you, we won't stand in your way.
00:59:37Just make sure you resolve things with your ex-wife properly.
00:59:40Everyone knows the problems in your marriage weren't your fault.
00:59:44Stella, is it?
00:59:45After everything you've done, you'd be wise to sign the divorce papers and spare yourself the shame.
00:59:49Tell me, Mark.
00:59:50What was my crime in this marriage?
00:59:52What did I do to deserve this treatment from you?
00:59:54Stella, this isn't...
00:59:56You have the nerve to ask what you did wrong?
00:59:58You were sleeping around while married, openly shameless.
01:00:00I used to think you refused to divorce because you had real feelings for Mark.
01:00:03But how could you take such vulgar pictures with other men?
01:00:05The props, the outfits.
01:00:06I never expected you to be like that.
01:00:07I won't let Mark continue to be with someone like you.
01:00:10Seriously, Stella?
01:00:11Are you really that reckless?
01:00:12That's disgusting.
01:00:13Honestly, someone from outside our circle wouldn't understand basic decency.
01:00:16No wonder Mark would rather be with the Smith girl after what she pulled,
01:00:19who could tolerate their wife being with other men.
01:00:24You're accusing me of sleeping around, Haley.
01:00:27Do you have proof?
01:00:28Everyone is talking about it.
01:00:30No, you are talking about it.
01:00:31And without proof, it's slander.
01:00:33I can take you to court.
01:00:35You speak with such detail.
01:00:37About the toys, the outfits.
01:00:39Were you hiding in the room?
01:00:41Or did you set it all up?
01:00:43Well, someone saw it and told me!
01:00:46The truth always comes out, Stella.
01:00:48All right, then.
01:00:49If you're so confident, show us the evidence.
01:00:51What toys?
01:00:52Which men?
01:00:52Let's see it.
01:00:54Jaiselyn!
01:00:55Haley, show them the proof already!
01:00:57Didn't you say you saw everything yourself?
01:00:58What?
01:00:59I thought you had the photos!
01:01:00What's wrong?
01:01:01Can't find your proof now?
01:01:03Want me to give you a hand?
01:01:05Maybe I should start laying out the details of your little affair with Mark.
01:01:09Should I tell everyone what you two have been doing behind closed doors?
01:01:15Stella, wait!
01:01:17Please, let me explain!
01:01:23Stella, I trust you.
01:01:25Please, just hear me out.
01:01:27Don't lay a hander on me!
01:01:28I feel sick just looking at you.
01:01:35Is this your idea of love, Mark?
01:01:37Loving two women at once?
01:01:39It's pathetic.
01:01:41Ah!
01:01:47Stella, what happened to you?
01:01:49What happened?
01:01:50Isn't it obvious?
01:01:52Those are the marks from her night with those men.
01:01:55Her night with them?
01:01:58You only signed the contract because you were scared we'd expose you!
01:02:01You were begging them not to stop.
01:02:04You kept saying how much you liked it.
01:02:07And now you want to act like you're the victim?
01:02:09You know what you did is a crime, right?
01:02:11You could go to prison for this.
01:02:15Stella?
01:02:18What is she talking about?
01:02:20Were you with other men?
01:02:22Mrs. Russell, how dare you spout such lies about my daughter?
01:02:25That accusation is completely out of line.
01:02:28Mr. Walsh, I only agreed to work with you because of Haley.
01:02:31After this slander, I see no reason to continue.
01:02:33Come, Haley.
01:02:33Mother, wait.
01:02:34I don't want to go.
01:02:35Hold on.
01:02:37Haley, what exactly did you do to Stella?
01:02:38Mark, I haven't done anything.
01:02:40Don't you believe me?
01:02:40Hasn't Stella been ignoring you lately?
01:02:42Staying away from home?
01:02:43If she's so innocent, then why hasn't she come back to you?
01:02:46Before you say a word, Mark.
01:02:57Do whatever you want.
01:02:58If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it.
01:03:01Stella, Mark told me to handle this.
01:03:05You refused to sign the contract nicely, so this is your punishment.
01:03:12What now, Haley?
01:03:13Got anything to say?
01:03:16Or are you going to tell everyone that the recording is fake?
01:03:18What?
01:03:19You actually sent people to rape Stella?
01:03:21Haley, our plan was just to take some fake photos.
01:03:24That was it.
01:03:25I never agreed to something criminal.
01:03:26You're more ruthless than I ever imagined.
01:03:29Oh, my God.
01:03:31Oh, my God.
01:03:34Oh, my God.
01:03:37Oh, my God.
01:03:38Oh, my God.
01:03:39Oh, my God.
01:03:40Oh, my God.
01:03:40Oh, my God.
01:03:42Mark, please.
01:03:43It's not what it looks like.
01:03:44Nobody believes me.
01:03:45I believe my own ears, Haley.
01:03:47How could you?
01:03:49It was your mother.
01:03:50Jaiselyn told me to do it.
01:03:51What?
01:03:51You dare lie about me?
01:03:53It's the truth.
01:03:53You said Stella couldn't have kids.
01:03:55That she wasn't good enough for Mark.
01:03:57You're not one hero.
01:03:59You wanted her gone.
01:04:00This was all your idea.
01:04:01Stop blaming me without proof.
01:04:03You've lost your mind.
01:04:04Mother, that sounds exactly like something you would say.
01:04:07Mark, she's trying to tear our family apart.
01:04:10Don't listen to her.
01:04:12Mr. Briggs, Miss Russell has signed the contract.
01:04:14Did she ask for anything else?
01:04:15No, sir.
01:04:16She signed it easily.
01:04:18Just as I thought.
01:04:20Is there more?
01:04:21Mrs. Russell went to the Choria charity event by herself tonight.
01:04:25Was the Walsh family there?
01:04:26Yes.
01:04:27And there's been some drama.
01:04:28Miss Russell played a recording.
01:04:29A recording.
01:04:30So she came prepared.
01:04:34Are you heading out, Mr. Briggs?
01:04:35She's our partner now.
01:04:36If something happens to her, it could affect our company.
01:04:39I'll take you there, sir.
01:04:48You've got some nerve, Hayley.
01:04:50You knew my son was married and still chased him.
01:04:53You hired thugs to kidnap Stella.
01:04:56Don't you dare pin that on me.
01:04:57You're the one who told me to do it.
01:04:59I was following your orders.
01:05:01Right.
01:05:07Miss Russell, I'm so sorry.
01:05:09This is all on me.
01:05:10Mark's mom tricked me, I swear.
01:05:13I never meant to hurt you.
01:05:15Whatever compensation you want, money, anything, my family will pay.
01:05:19Please, just forgive me.
01:05:20Oh?
01:05:21And how much exactly were you planning to offer?
01:05:24Whatever you want.
01:05:25Just name it.
01:05:26My family can afford it.
01:05:29Stella, why are you even entertaining this?
01:05:33Hayley, not everything in life can be solved by throwing money at it.
01:05:37I don't want your money.
01:05:38I'm taking the evidence to the police.
01:05:42Let them handle it.
01:05:43The police?
01:05:44Oh, and by the way, all that effort you put in, it was a waste.
01:05:48Your guys failed.
01:05:52I just walked away with a few scratches.
01:05:57What?
01:05:58No.
01:06:00That can't be right.
01:06:01You're lying!
01:06:04Stella.
01:06:06Thank God.
01:06:07I was so worried.
01:06:09You're safe.
01:06:13Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?
01:06:15You make me sick.
01:06:17Stella?
01:06:18I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
01:06:20I'm not done with you.
01:06:21That patent your company has been using?
01:06:25You forced me into a deal and kept using my work after it expired.
01:06:28That's illegal.
01:06:30The contract.
01:06:32Hayley gave me that contract.
01:06:33My new partners have already taken a hit because of your actions.
01:06:36Even if I wanted to spare you, they won't.
01:06:40Prepare for a huge payout.
01:06:42Oh, come on, Stella.
01:06:44Do you really think anyone will buy that story?
01:06:47Who would dare sue the Walsh group?
01:06:52You're just trying to play the sympathy card so Mark won't divorce you.
01:06:55What do you even have to offer him?
01:06:57I bring him foreign investors.
01:06:58Key partnerships.
01:07:01You have nothing!
01:07:04What have you ever done besides that one lucky patent?
01:07:07If Mark hadn't backed you, you'd be on the streets.
01:07:10He only used it because he felt sorry for you.
01:07:12Do you seriously think you're some brilliant inventor?
01:07:17You are utterly disgraceful, Stella.
01:07:20Am I?
01:07:21Or is it the woman who proudly acts as a mistress in public?
01:07:25Is this what passes for aristocratic grace in Autrity?
01:07:28Don't you dare!
01:07:29You and your worthless patents!
01:07:31My patent is the reason the Walsh group has had any success.
01:07:33Should we review the contracts?
01:07:34The ones that show you've never paid me the monthly fees you owe?
01:07:37You're lying!
01:07:38You have no contract!
01:07:39Go on, prove it!
01:07:40Where is your evidence?
01:07:41Yes, bring it out.
01:07:42I want to see who dares to challenge the Walsh family.
01:07:46I'm the one who signed her patent.
01:07:47Is there an issue with that?
01:07:52I signed the contract.
01:07:53Does anyone here have a problem with it?
01:07:55William, you?
01:07:56After years of working with the Walsh group,
01:07:58Ms. Russell hasn't received a single payment.
01:07:59Let me make this clear to everyone.
01:08:01I run a principled company.
01:08:02You will be paid every cent you are owed, Mrs. Russell.
01:08:04And my legal team will assist you in recovering everything you are entitled to.
01:08:08I'd never seen him look at me like that before.
01:08:10Was it real?
01:08:11Or was my mind just playing tricks on me?
01:08:18And who exactly do you think you are?
01:08:20Did Stella hire you to play along in this little act of hers?
01:08:22Saying you signed a contract doesn't make it real.
01:08:24What matters is proof, not who can talk the biggest game.
01:08:29It's been a while since I've come across such pure stupidity.
01:08:32It's almost entertaining.
01:08:33William Briggs.
01:08:34Heir to the Briggs family in Brissette.
01:08:36The MU project with the Achire Royal family and the Hookwood Research Institute?
01:08:40All under my name.
01:08:42Is that enough to qualify for Mrs. Russell's patent?
01:08:45Stella, come here.
01:08:46You're still my wife.
01:08:47My husband is trying to save face.
01:08:49How pathetic.
01:08:50Oh?
01:08:51So you do remember she's your wife, Mr. Walsh?
01:08:53That's funny.
01:08:54I thought the woman beside you was your true match.
01:08:58Stella, I said, come here.
01:09:00Now!
01:09:01Mark, stop the act.
01:09:02I was serious when I said I wanted a divorce.
01:09:04You betrayed me first.
01:09:05Did you really think I would stay chained to you forever?
01:09:09Stella, I know you're upset.
01:09:11Let's just go home and talk.
01:09:13Whatever apology you want, I'll give it.
01:09:15You think an apology fixes this?
01:09:16You think I'm just making a scene?
01:09:18Mr. Briggs, thank you for recognizing my wife's talent.
01:09:21I'm so happy for her.
01:09:22Mr. Walsh, you should probably focus on calming your mistress.
01:09:25How dare you!
01:09:26And Ms. Russell's patent speaks for itself.
01:09:28It has nothing to do with you, so don't try to take credit.
01:09:31You're enjoying this, aren't you, Stella?
01:09:32I'm enjoying someone finally seeing through your performance.
01:09:43Get out of my way!
01:09:45No.
01:09:55We received a little report of kidnapping and assault.
01:09:58Haley Smith, Mark Wald, and Jaiselyn Wald, please come with us.
01:10:00What?
01:10:01She really called the police?
01:10:02Mom, I don't want to go!
01:10:03Officer, this must be a mistake.
01:10:04You can't arrest my daughter over a simple accusation.
01:10:07We'll sort that out at the station, ma'am.
01:10:08Please don't interfere.
01:10:08Mom, do something!
01:10:09Call someone!
01:10:11I can't.
01:10:12My name means nothing here.
01:10:14Mrs. Smith, put your hands behind your back.
01:10:16You're coming with us.
01:10:19No, I didn't do anything wrong!
01:10:27Why are you taking me?
01:10:28Ma'am, if you're innocent, the truth will come out.
01:10:29Please cooperate.
01:10:30Mom, say something!
01:10:31Stella's lying to them!
01:10:32My daughter.
01:10:33They're putting you in handcuffs.
01:10:35Jaiselyn Wald?
01:10:36I don't know anything.
01:10:37I swear.
01:10:38I'll come with you.
01:10:38I'll tell you everything I know.
01:10:43Where are you going?
01:10:46Back to the research center.
01:10:48That's on my way.
01:10:49I'll drop you.
01:10:49There's no need, Mr. Briggs.
01:10:51I can manage.
01:10:51I helped you once, and now you're trying to keep your distance?
01:11:07Oh!
01:11:10I am so sorry.
01:11:13I...
01:11:14Stella.
01:11:15Sorry.
01:11:16I...
01:11:16I didn't mean to.
01:11:25Don't move.
01:11:35I'm so sorry, Mr. Briggs.
01:11:37The car turned.
01:11:37I lost my balance.
01:11:38I swear I have no improper intentions towards you whatsoever.
01:11:40I can see that.
01:11:41No, you don't believe me.
01:11:43If I have any improper thoughts about you, then may I get hit by a car the moment I step
01:11:45outside?
01:11:46There's no need for such a dramatic curse.
01:11:48I'm not blind.
01:11:48I saw what happened.
01:11:49Well, you were basically blind last time.
01:11:52Where did that come from?
01:11:58Mr. Briggs, I feel like you have a bias against me.
01:12:01It makes things really difficult whenever you're around.
01:12:04When have I ever made things difficult for you?
01:12:10Forget I said anything.
01:12:11Just pretend I was rambling.
01:12:14Ms. Russell, you took my measurements earlier.
01:12:18I...
01:12:18Yes?
01:12:20So the suit should fit perfectly this time, right?
01:12:23This time?
01:12:24But you told me not to waste my time on trivial things.
01:12:28We've arrived at the Research Institute's dormitory, Ms. Russell.
01:12:31Please take care.
01:12:39Stella, you're back!
01:12:41How did it go?
01:12:42Is everything all right?
01:12:43It went well, Lainey.
01:12:45Thanks to you and that recorder.
01:12:46Everyone know Haley framed me.
01:12:47Good!
01:12:48Those two snakes deserve everything that's coming to them.
01:12:50I hope they rot!
01:12:51Speaking of things coming to them...
01:12:53Why didn't you tell me Mr. Briggs was behind the company I signed with?
01:12:55Wait, what are you talking about?
01:12:57The new contract.
01:12:59It's with a subsidiary of the Briggs Group.
01:13:00Oh my god!
01:13:01William, you're working with him?
01:13:02I swear I had no idea!
01:13:04I just knew they seemed professional and the offer was generous.
01:13:06I never would have guessed!
01:13:07It's okay, Lainey.
01:13:07It doesn't matter.
01:13:08As long as the partnership works.
01:13:09Works?
01:13:10Stella, it's more than working.
01:13:11You're all over the internet.
01:13:12Briggs Group is suing Mark for everything he's worth.
01:13:14They are?
01:13:14Yes!
01:13:15The compensation alone might bankrupt him.
01:13:16His partners are pulling out.
01:13:17Investors are gone.
01:13:18The Wall Troop is finished!
01:13:22And Haley?
01:13:24Oh, she's not getting away.
01:13:26This has become a diplomatic issue.
01:13:28She's going to jail.
