00:00:04Roger, I've secured you a spot in this math competition.
00:00:07With your talent, I'm sure you'll win.
00:00:09Just have your mom pay the $400 registration fee by the deadline.
00:00:23Have some breakfast before school, honey.
00:00:25Mom, where's yours?
00:00:27I already ate earlier, sweetheart.
00:00:47I'm heading to school.
00:00:49Love you, Mom.
00:00:50Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:00:52Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:01:16Linda, please.
00:01:17I just need $400.
00:01:19I'll pay you back next month.
00:01:21I swear.
00:01:22Jesus, Susan.
00:01:23You've got some nerve.
00:01:25Didn't I already tell you not to come begging at my door again?
00:01:27Yeah, Roger's my nephew.
00:01:29But I ain't your personal ATM.
00:01:31Roger's smart, Linda.
00:01:33Really smart.
00:01:34I just...
00:01:35I don't want him growing up with regrets.

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