00:00:04Urgent? Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:12I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:15Who's the candidate?
00:00:16Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:33Miss me, babe?
00:00:36Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:40You're the only gift I want.
00:00:43There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:50If it's truly one of a kind, then yes. I love it.
00:00:56Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:14Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:16Something urgent came up at the institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:23Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:31Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:41You're seriously here to submit the application? You should have discussed it with Mark.
00:01:50That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees begging for mercy.
00:01:55Come on. We're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:58No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:02:06Come on, Mark. Be good.
00:02:09Oh, God.
00:02:11I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:33Let go of me.
00:02:35Stella. Please, let me explain.
00:02:38Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43Let go of me.
00:02:44It's not what it looks like.
00:02:45She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:50I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:52Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:56It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:03:00If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest. I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:07Don't you ever say that. Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what? Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:23It's... nothing.
00:03:25I saw the name. Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear them all out.
00:04:07Sorry. This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:16What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:25How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:34Ah!
00:04:36She's scandalous!
00:04:38She's scandalous!
00:04:38If you're so brave enough to be a lover, don't finish being innocent.
00:04:42I speak 16 languages.
00:04:46Don't call me...
00:04:48When will you learn Spanish?
00:04:51Oh, Mark, you must really love me, huh?
00:04:57He's okay, he's hurt. What are you doing?!
00:04:59Stella!
00:05:00What is it, Mr. Walsh?
00:05:03Haley's just a friend.
00:05:04Do you have to humiliate us in public?
00:05:10Even if I walk in on you in bed, I should protect the family name?
00:05:15She's just a friend!
00:05:19Alright then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:05:22And I'll do everything you and Haley have done.
00:05:26And you, dear husband, don't get jealous.
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us.
00:06:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:06:06It's time to end it.
00:06:21Whiskey on the rocks.
00:06:28Where the hell is she?
00:06:30Do you,gon?
00:06:48If you're alive and you're alive and you'll be alive and you're alive and you're alive and keep for him.
00:06:55Same.
00:06:56same. She wouldn't dare go to someone else. Calm down. She's just throwing a fit. Insane
00:07:07woman. What a disgrace. Want to be my one night stand? Don't worry. I'm fun and clean.
00:07:26Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:07:59We're going home. I'm not going anywhere. What are you doing acting like this? She doesn't
00:08:15want to. Don't force her. Who are you? This is none of your business.
00:08:26He's my friend. All right then, I'll go find myself a friend too. And I'll do everything
00:08:32you and Haley have done. Mark, calm down. Let's go. Friends? Is that what you call it last
00:08:43night? Stop lying. Stop acting. I see right through you.
00:08:57Let's go. Now. I said don't force her.
00:09:11I want a divorce.
00:09:16No! We don't do divorce!
00:09:23Sorry, it's Saria.
00:09:26It's the end.
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:26I don't know.
00:10:05The big shot is coming today.
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:21He's so hot.
00:10:23You're blushing.
00:10:25I'm William, your project lead.
00:10:31Stella, your turn.
00:10:41The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:11:13The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:11:17How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:23Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:11:59Who is he?
00:12:00What are you to him?
00:12:04None of your business.
00:12:10It's another man's coat!
00:12:13You're wearing another man's coat!
00:12:16We're divorcing.
00:12:17You don't get to control me.
00:12:21We're talking at home.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:04Stop this.
00:13:05Let's fix this.
00:13:08It's too late.
00:13:24A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Rascate.
00:13:29Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:31I don't know.
00:14:10Stella, don't be like this.
00:14:11You know you're the only one I care about.
00:14:14Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:16No need. I don't mind.
00:14:19I want tonight to feel special.
00:14:21Something to remember.
00:14:22I won't take long.
00:14:34Two, one.
00:14:40Stella, something urgent came up at the office. I've got to go.
00:14:45Don't wait up for me. Just get some rest after your shower.
00:14:55You swore you loved me, but you never even see me.
00:14:58You never saw that I was already gone.
00:15:11Goodbye, Mark.
00:15:14Stella?
00:15:16You... you came back.
00:15:30What are you burning?
00:15:38Weird. How come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important. Just old junk. Why are you back?
00:15:46Forgot something. I'll just run upstairs and grab it.
00:15:54I'm sorry, Stella. Work has been non-stop. I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:15:59His phone lit up. I saw Haley's name.
00:16:02I've got to run.
00:16:05How come he's heading out this late at night?
00:16:07He's definitely got something to hide.
00:16:10The entire box was gone.
00:16:13He took them all for her.
00:16:15He was just in this room and didn't even notice our wedding photo is missing.
00:16:21Now that Mark's not here, I can finally get a proper night's sleep.
00:16:27Lainey, is Mr. Briggs not in today?
00:16:30Why the sudden interest in the boss?
00:16:31It's not like that. I had an accident, my period, and he lent me his coat. I'm just returning it.
00:16:36Relax. He's in meetings all day. You won't catch him.
00:16:39Mr. Briggs, the jacket you lent me was custom made, so I bought another of equal value.
00:16:45If you're not satisfied, feel free to contact me.
00:16:48And I wrote down my number.
00:16:54My phone rang.
00:16:55It was my husband Mark's assistant, calling about the patents I'd let him use for free for years.
00:17:05He can't even call me himself.
00:17:07He sends an assistant to handle business.
00:17:10Tell him not to bother.
00:17:12I'm coming to the office.
00:17:13Today.
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh.
00:17:32It's been a while.
00:17:33What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract.
00:17:36Is Mark in his office?
00:17:38He...
00:17:39should be.
00:17:40Yes.
00:17:43Mrs. Walsh! You're here!
00:17:47Let me show you to the legal department.
00:17:49I know the way, Cody. Move.
00:17:56Please. Maybe we should wait. He's in a... a... a... a meeting.
00:18:00Stop it!
00:18:01You love it.
00:18:02A meeting? Is that what he calls her?
00:18:05Mrs. Walsh? It's not what it looks like.
00:18:09It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest. I should go say hello.
00:18:20Urgent?
00:18:22Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:18:31Who's the candidate?
00:18:33Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here. A gift.
00:18:54You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:18:57You're the only gift I want.
00:19:00There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:19:06If it's truly one of a kind, then yes. I love it.
00:19:12Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:19:30Come here. Give me a hug.
00:19:33Something urgent came up at the institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:19:40Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:19:48Sure. When things settle down.
00:19:56Mrs. Walsh, are you okay? He pushed you so hard.
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody.
00:20:00Stella, enough with the drama. I already told you, this isn't what you think. Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:05Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry on her behalf. She didn't mean it.
00:20:07For you, Mark. I'll let it slide. But she better get lost and stay away from this company.
00:20:13Stella, this is a workplace. Can we not make a scene?
00:20:17Save the fake politeness. I'll leave when I'm done. But Mark, you are truly disgusting.
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent. The contract has expired and our partnership is over.
00:20:33Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem? This patent is a cornerstone of our business.
00:20:38No issues. I've simply found a new buyer.
00:20:44Stella, if you're upset, take it out on me. Hit me, yell at me, whatever you want.
00:20:48But don't mess around with the patent. Let's talk about this at home.
00:20:51You still think I'm just being emotional? That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:54I'm not joking. The deal is off. If your company continues using my patent, my lawyer will file for compensation.
00:21:01Mr. Walsh, what's going on? If she pulls the patent, we're in trouble. Multiple projects will fail.
00:21:05I'll handle it.
00:21:06Stella!
00:21:07Stella!
00:21:11Stella!
00:21:31William? What are you doing in my car?
00:21:33Ms. Russell, if you needed a ride, you could have asked. Climbing into my car like this is a bit
00:21:38bold.
00:21:40I'm so sorry. I didn't realize this was your car. My mistake. I'll get out.
00:21:43Wait.
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned. I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities. Show some professionalism.
00:22:01Stella! Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Let me see...
00:22:04Wait. This is already swollen. This wasn't me. What happened?
00:22:10It's okay, Lainey. It's not your fault. I'll be fine.
00:22:13Don't lie to me. You went to see Mark today. Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:24Unbelievable! You're his wife! How dare he hit you over some other woman!
00:22:30Maybe he was always this man, and I was just too blind to see it.
00:22:40Speak of the devil. It's Mark.
00:22:51How dare you keep calling her? You cheat on her? You hit her, and now you think she wants to
00:22:56hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend. When you hurt her, it is my business.
00:23:09She's my friend, Mark. The least you can do is show her some respect. Hearing your voice disgusts me.
00:23:15I don't, Estella. I'd need your strex.
00:23:19You honestly make me sick. You want both women? Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:24If your coworks and boss see me, that won't be good for you. So come home.
00:23:32Fine. I'll go back after I finish up here.
00:23:38What if he hits you again? Let me come with you. He won't. Trust me. He wouldn't dare.
00:23:48I had the chef make all your favorites. Come on, let's eat.
00:24:01Stella, about earlier. Haley's family has deep ties to our company. I can't afford to upset them. I went too
00:24:05far with you.
00:24:06Right.
00:24:08That's why I'm giving you full admin access to the security system.
00:24:12This company is yours, too. You're half the boss here. I promise. This won't happen again. Today was the last
00:24:19time. Just trust me.
00:24:22Half the boss, huh? Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:31Still, don't be upset. Haley is just a friend. Her parents are important business partners, that's all.
00:24:40A friend? Would you kiss a friend like that? Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:46Let's not talk about that. Stella, let's have a baby.
00:24:51A baby?
00:24:52Yes. Didn't you always want one? If we have a child, you'll always be my wife. You won't feel so
00:24:59insecure.
00:25:00Insecure? You think a child is a bargaining chip? A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:10Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:19I have a headache. Maybe some other time.
00:25:22Your head! The injury! I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention. Let me get the first aid kits.
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it. No need for your concern now.
00:25:40I'll sleep in the study.
00:25:50Stella. They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project.
00:25:56What do you mean? I thought the list was final.
00:25:59It was.
00:26:01But William is on the project now.
00:26:04William.
00:26:06And he's personally reviewing every single person on the team.
00:26:10That means our spots aren't safe anymore.
00:26:15William isn't just a brilliant researcher, Stella.
00:26:18The Briggs family owns half of Brissette.
00:26:20He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire.
00:26:24His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals.
00:26:27I just need to get on his team.
00:26:29Imagine if you actually won him over.
00:26:31Wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?
00:26:34A thriving career and a man way better than Mark.
00:26:36It's a win-win.
00:26:38Lainey, my mind is on research.
00:26:40Men in revenge have no place in my world right now.
00:26:42But I do need to speak with him.
00:26:44Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:47A private meeting?
00:26:49Of course!
00:26:50Of course!
00:26:52Leave it to me!
00:26:57You're home!
00:26:58Are you hungry?
00:26:59I can ask the kitchen to make something.
00:27:03I'm not hungry.
00:27:05Eat by yourself.
00:27:10Stella, not eating will harm your health.
00:27:13Please, have at least a little.
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite.
00:27:17Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxavi?
00:27:19I'll be free next month.
00:27:21Let's go together.
00:27:24You were always too busy for that trip before.
00:27:27What changed?
00:27:28Oh, right.
00:27:30The patent.
00:27:31If you're so desperate for a vacation,
00:27:34why don't you take Haley instead?
00:27:39Stella, don't talk to me like that.
00:27:41I hate it.
00:27:43I apologized, didn't I?
00:27:44Then how am I supposed to talk to you?
00:27:46Should I sit down and have a pleasant little heart-to-heart about your affair?
00:27:52Yes.
00:27:53We should definitely talk.
00:27:59Fine.
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk.
00:28:03I'm curious what else you think you can get from me.
00:28:20All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:23Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley.
00:28:25This is business.
00:28:27The Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level.
00:28:30Her father suggested she get experience with us.
00:28:33With her background in international law,
00:28:36the legal department is a perfect fit.
00:28:38And what does her job have to do with me?
00:28:43This is why I brought it up.
00:28:45If your patent stays with us,
00:28:47it'll be the first project Haley takes on.
00:28:50She'll be pleased,
00:28:51her family will be impressed,
00:28:52and it helps our company.
00:28:54You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:56It's just a renewal.
00:28:59So this whole talk
00:29:01is about using my patent to make Haley happy?
00:29:04I'm being honest.
00:29:05A strong company benefits us both.
00:29:08We're married, Stella.
00:29:10Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:13Normal?
00:29:14You have the nerve to call this normal?
00:29:19This is my patent.
00:29:20I've changed my mind.
00:29:22I'm not selling.
00:29:24And no one,
00:29:25not even you,
00:29:26have the right to force me.
00:29:30Enough.
00:29:31This conversation is over.
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow
00:29:34and sign the renewal.
00:29:37Don't act like a child.
00:29:39Don't act like a child.
00:30:15Hey, Allegra.
00:30:16What's going on?
00:30:18Miss Russell?
00:30:20Mr. Walsh asked me to inform.
00:30:23Stoke harsh,
00:30:24veteran Cormu.
00:30:25You need to come to the office today.
00:30:29I'm sorry, Allegra,
00:30:30but I've decided not to work
00:30:31with your company anymore.
00:30:32I won't be coming in.
00:30:34I know you've made up your mind,
00:30:36but Mr. Walsh said
00:30:37if you don't come,
00:30:38it would be my error.
00:30:40He said I could lose my job.
00:30:43Wait,
00:30:43are you saying Mark would fire you
00:30:45just because I refused to come?
00:30:47He said he'd make sure
00:30:48no one else in the industry
00:30:49hires me.
00:30:50I know this is emotional blackmail,
00:30:53but it's fine.
00:30:54I'll find a way.
00:30:59That shameless bastard.
00:31:01Miss Russell,
00:31:02please don't make it worse
00:31:03for yourself because of me.
00:31:06I'll come.
00:31:09Don't worry, Allegra.
00:31:11This isn't your fault.
00:31:12He's targeting me,
00:31:13not you.
00:31:14I won't let you lose
00:31:15your job over this.
00:31:17Thank you so much,
00:31:18Miss Russell.
00:31:31Mrs. Walsh,
00:31:32what are you doing here?
00:31:33You shouldn't go in.
00:31:34That Haley girl is targeting you.
00:31:35She's scolding the whole team,
00:31:37calling them useless
00:31:38for not landing the deal.
00:31:40It's all right, Evie.
00:31:43Well, look who finally
00:31:45decided to show up.
00:31:46You were so high
00:31:47and mighty yesterday,
00:31:49acting like you didn't
00:31:50need the contract.
00:31:51And now?
00:31:52You're back to sign it.
00:31:53If you were gonna
00:31:54crawl back anyway,
00:31:55what was all that drama for?
00:32:00What the hell
00:32:00are you pretending for?
00:32:03If Mark hadn't dragged
00:32:04innocent people into this,
00:32:05I wouldn't be here.
00:32:06So this is your talent?
00:32:08Manipulating people
00:32:09who have nothing to do
00:32:10with your feud?
00:32:11Impressive.
00:32:12Stella,
00:32:12all's fair in love and war.
00:32:14If it works, it works.
00:32:15Now sign the damn contract
00:32:16right now.
00:32:17No,
00:32:17I'm not signing anything.
00:32:19You?
00:32:20Mrs. Walsh,
00:32:21please,
00:32:22if something's bothering you,
00:32:23let's talk it through.
00:32:24You are Mr. Walsh's wife.
00:32:25Just tell us what you need.
00:32:27The reason I'm not
00:32:28renewing the contract?
00:32:29Simple.
00:32:30It's her.
00:32:32If you want my signature,
00:32:34tell your Mr. Walsh
00:32:36to show me some sincerity.
00:32:37Start by kicking Haley
00:32:39out of the company
00:32:40and make sure
00:32:41she leaves humiliated.
00:32:43Who do you think
00:32:44you are, Stella?
00:32:46It's just one damn patent.
00:32:48You think this entire company
00:32:49revolves around you?
00:32:52Well, guess what?
00:32:53I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:55Keep dreaming.
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh, wait.
00:33:00Allow me to walk you out.
00:33:01Please,
00:33:02if you don't mind me saying,
00:33:04could you have a word
00:33:05with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:06Haley isn't fit for this role.
00:33:08He still has feelings for you.
00:33:09He'll listen to you.
00:33:17Chory is a big city, Allegra.
00:33:19There's no shortage of companies here
00:33:20that would value someone like you.
00:33:22I understand.
00:33:24Take care, Mrs. Walsh.
00:33:36Mark, you should have seen her.
00:33:38She was completely out of line.
00:33:39I was only doing what you told me to,
00:33:41and she turned around
00:33:43and told me to get lost.
00:33:45All right,
00:33:45don't get too worked up.
00:33:46I understand you're angry.
00:33:49Why don't I take you
00:33:50to your favorite place
00:33:51for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No!
00:33:52I want Stella to kneel
00:33:53and apologize to me!
00:33:56Make her mark.
00:33:58Please?
00:34:02Haley.
00:34:04You really think
00:34:05you're that important?
00:34:11What did you just say?
00:34:12Stella is my wife,
00:34:14and always will be.
00:34:15What's between us
00:34:16is nothing more than a fling.
00:34:20You're joking.
00:34:21Right?
00:34:22If you don't like it,
00:34:23you're free to leave.
00:34:28I was just messing around.
00:34:30Don't be mad.
00:34:32I'll let it go.
00:34:33But you owe me.
00:34:35Fine.
00:34:36Whatever you ask,
00:34:37just leave Stella alone.
00:34:39Yes.
00:34:55Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight.
00:34:57I got an invite.
00:34:58I'm wiped out.
00:34:59I don't have energy.
00:35:00William's attending.
00:35:01Aren't you hoping
00:35:02to talk to him?
00:35:03I got an invite.
00:35:05All right.
00:35:06I'll come.
00:35:07Send me the details.
00:35:14Mark,
00:35:15you're incredible.
00:35:29Hi, Stella.
00:35:37Stella,
00:35:38what's with this outfit?
00:35:40Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:41We're here to drink,
00:35:42not sign contracts.
00:35:44Good thing I planned ahead.
00:35:45Change now.
00:35:54Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:56Perfect.
00:35:57You look absolutely gorgeous.
00:36:07Grady,
00:36:08meet Stella.
00:36:09Stella,
00:36:10this is Grady.
00:36:11Hello.
00:36:12Many try to get close to William.
00:36:14Take your time.
00:36:20Mr. Briggs,
00:36:21she has project questions for you.
00:36:23Ah!
00:36:24Ah!
00:36:25Ah!
00:36:26Ah!
00:36:33Exactly how long
00:36:33were you thinking
00:36:34of sitting like that?
00:36:38Ah!
00:36:39Ah!
00:36:40Ah!
00:36:40Ah!
00:36:41I'm so sorry.
00:36:42Sorry, Mr. Briggs.
00:36:44This wasn't intentional.
00:36:45Why, just give me a second.
00:36:47You'll have to do better than that.
00:36:49If you're staging an act,
00:36:51put in more effort.
00:36:52That's not what you think.
00:36:53I'm here about the project roster.
00:36:55I'm hoping you'll give me a shot.
00:36:59Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:37:03I have papers and patents.
00:37:04I can bring value to the project.
00:37:07Clearly,
00:37:08your talents stretch past what you let slip.
00:37:13Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding.
00:37:26I just want to join the project.
00:37:28I just want to join the project.
00:37:41Explaining will only make it worse.
00:37:52Mark, what are you staring at?
00:37:55Nothing.
00:38:00Mr. Briggs, I meant every word.
00:38:03Please, give it thought.
00:38:04Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:38:06Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:38:08It wasn't what you think.
00:38:10It was an accident.
00:38:12You're skilled at attracting men.
00:38:14But I dislike forward women.
00:38:16I take pride in my work.
00:38:18I'm not the woman you think.
00:38:23I won't bother you again.
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure.
00:38:33Looks like she decided to go.
00:38:34Mr. Briggs,
00:38:35I made her wear the dress.
00:38:36She came in a shirt and jeans.
00:38:55Mr. Briggs,
00:38:57I heard you're hand-picking top talents
00:38:58for the new project.
00:39:00Go ahead.
00:39:02Stella Russell,
00:39:03she's the author of the field-shaking paper
00:39:04on biologically activeive factors.
00:39:07Mr. Briggs,
00:39:07so she's the anonymous author of that paper.
00:39:21You were gone all day.
00:39:23Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:24I was in the lab.
00:39:25It's the smell of alcohol, tobacco,
00:39:27and perfume on you that makes me sick.
00:39:29Fine.
00:39:30Have it your way.
00:39:31Okay.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:34Okay.
00:39:35Okay.
00:39:35Okay.
00:39:37Okay.
00:39:58Good morning, Miss Russell.
00:40:00I'm Luca,
00:40:01Mr. Briggs' assistant.
00:40:02We have an opening to assist Mr. Briggs
00:40:04with document handling,
00:40:05and you're perfect for it.
00:40:07No.
00:40:07Thanks.
00:40:08But this position doesn't suit me.
00:40:10I'd rather join a group with my peers.
00:40:12Miss Russell,
00:40:13this is a great opportunity.
00:40:20Is everything settled?
00:40:21Mr. Briggs,
00:40:23Miss Russell turned down the offer.
00:40:26Smart girl.
00:40:31Stella,
00:40:32we just finished today's data.
00:40:34Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:41William just set off for the underground garage.
00:40:43It's still possible to catch up.
00:41:05Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs,
00:41:08these files need your immediate review.
00:41:10Get in.
00:41:11We'll go over them as we drive.
00:41:20Stella is my wife.
00:41:21Who is this man?
00:41:23How dare she smile at him like that?
00:41:29You're a lot more tempting now
00:41:30than when you played innocent yesterday.
00:41:33Mr. Briggs,
00:41:34you can just leave the documents here.
00:41:37I won't follow you.
00:41:38Could you drop me off here?
00:41:46That night,
00:41:47I returned to our empty house
00:41:48and started throwing out
00:41:49every memory of Mark.
00:41:51The cups we made on vacation.
00:41:53I remember wishing on a shooting star
00:41:55that we would be happy together forever.
00:41:57What a joke.
00:41:58People change.
00:42:00I see that now.
00:42:09Stella,
00:42:10I waited for you
00:42:11at the Institute for Ages.
00:42:12Did you leave by another exit?
00:42:14I got a lift home with a colleague.
00:42:21Now I have a free week.
00:42:23What do you say
00:42:24we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark,
00:42:26I've already told you.
00:42:28I don't want a baby right now.
00:42:32But after all these years,
00:42:33you always talked about
00:42:35wanting one before.
00:42:38Before was a long time ago.
00:42:41Tell me, Mark,
00:42:43how are those condoms
00:42:44from Raskate working out for you?
00:42:46I bet Haley didn't disappoint.
00:42:49You...
00:42:50You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:54I've always known.
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:58Just let me explain!
00:43:00Stella!
00:43:02Open this door!
00:43:03We need to talk about this!
00:43:08Fine.
00:43:09I'll make you dinner.
00:43:11You always soften up
00:43:12when I cook for you.
00:43:20Wait a minute.
00:43:21Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:22It's always right here
00:43:23on the counter.
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:25What happened to the capsule coffee maker
00:43:27from the kitchen?
00:43:28Where is it?
00:43:37Stella, open up!
00:43:38Where is the coffee machine?
00:43:40It stopped working.
00:43:41I brought it out for repairs.
00:43:43Oh.
00:43:44Well, hey, Stella.
00:43:46I really messed up.
00:43:48Please,
00:43:49give me another chance.
00:43:51I made your favorite meal.
00:43:53Come downstairs and eat with me?
00:43:56I'm not hungry.
00:43:57I think I'll skip it.
00:44:04Okay.
00:44:04What about that coat you got me?
00:44:06I checked the closet.
00:44:07It wasn't there.
00:44:12I got the wrong size.
00:44:13I sent it back.
00:44:15Sent it back?
00:44:16Why not just swap it
00:44:17for another one?
00:44:19Lately,
00:44:19your whole look has shifted.
00:44:21I wasn't sure
00:44:22what you'd actually wear.
00:44:23Anyway,
00:44:24it's not like you're short
00:44:25on clothes.
00:44:26You've got tons already.
00:44:28But you picked that coat
00:44:29for me, Stella.
00:44:31Whatever you choose,
00:44:32I'll always like it.
00:44:34I'm exhausted.
00:44:36I'm turning in for the night.
00:44:53Keep watch on her.
00:44:55I want updates
00:44:56on everything she does.
00:45:06I want to marry Stella
00:45:07and cherish her forever.
00:45:08Only time can prove
00:45:09a promise like that, Mark.
00:45:10We'll be old
00:45:11and worn by then.
00:45:12A lifetime is exactly
00:45:14what I plan to give you.
00:45:15I'll spend every bit of it
00:45:16keeping that promise.
00:45:41Mark, how long are you going
00:45:42to stare at that screen?
00:45:44Look at me for once.
00:45:47Stella's being impossible.
00:45:49Why won't she just sign?
00:45:52Does she really think
00:45:53we're powerless?
00:45:54If she walks away,
00:45:55we'll find someone else.
00:45:56You have no idea
00:45:57what you're talking about.
00:45:58The company is in chaos
00:45:59because of you.
00:46:00Me?
00:46:01I'm just trying to help.
00:46:03Why are Nose Camp not you?
00:46:05She's the one causing problems.
00:46:07Just be quiet for a moment.
00:46:20What is it?
00:46:21Why did you freeze?
00:46:24Leave.
00:46:27What?
00:46:28But we were just
00:46:29discussing the contract.
00:46:31I said...
00:46:33leave.
00:46:35Now.
00:46:42I'm staying.
00:46:43Unless there's something
00:46:44you're hiding from me, Mark.
00:46:48Why would she be there now?
00:46:50Something isn't right.
00:46:58legal department.
00:46:59Revite the contracts
00:47:00on my desk immediately.
00:47:02Mark, wait.
00:47:04Where are you going?
00:47:05What's wrong
00:47:05with the contracts?
00:47:07Did I mess something up?
00:47:14Hold on.
00:47:15I spent hours on those.
00:47:16Why are you taking them back?
00:47:18You're nothing
00:47:18but a useless leech.
00:47:22You work in legal,
00:47:23don't you?
00:47:24You just sit there
00:47:25like a statue
00:47:26while I do
00:47:27all the real work.
00:47:28What does this company
00:47:29even pay you for?
00:47:31Decoration?
00:47:32Effective immediately.
00:47:33Forget about
00:47:34your year-end bonus.
00:47:39Mrs. Smith,
00:47:40have you actually
00:47:40looked at the contracts
00:47:41you're so proud of?
00:47:43They don't even follow
00:47:44basic company formatting.
00:47:46It's laughable.
00:47:47A child with half a brain
00:47:48could have done better.
00:47:49You!
00:47:49Who do you think
00:47:50you are talking to me
00:47:51like that?
00:47:52I'll mark fire you
00:47:53on the spot!
00:47:55Too late.
00:47:56My resignation's
00:47:57already been submitted.
00:47:58You missed your chance
00:47:59to kick me out.
00:48:01And since we're being honest,
00:48:02I can't stomach people
00:48:03who climb with favors
00:48:04and destroy families
00:48:05in the process.
00:48:07You tick both boxes.
00:48:10Also, newsflash,
00:48:11waving your foreign passport
00:48:12around doesn't make you special.
00:48:14Trash from abroad
00:48:15is still trapped.
00:48:19You shameless witch!
00:48:20Who gave you the right
00:48:21to talk to me like that?
00:48:22Try acting like you
00:48:23went to college
00:48:24instead of hurling insults
00:48:25and making a spectacle
00:48:25of yourself.
00:48:26Anyway, I'm not
00:48:27on the payroll anymore.
00:48:28Cut my year-end bonus
00:48:29if it makes you happy.
00:48:31I'm done here.
00:48:33Did you see that?
00:48:34Who knew Alelika
00:48:35had that kind of nerve?
00:48:36She was pushed too far.
00:48:38Some people just
00:48:38dig their own graves.
00:48:39You clueless idiots!
00:48:42Just wait until Mark
00:48:42gets back.
00:48:43I'll make sure
00:48:44every single one of you
00:48:45is out on the street!
00:48:49Stella,
00:48:50you can't keep running
00:48:51yourself into the ground
00:48:52like this.
00:48:53What if you faint?
00:48:54I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:48:57Trust me,
00:48:57I know my limits.
00:48:58Hey, the list
00:48:59just came out.
00:49:00Come on,
00:49:01let's take a look.
00:49:02You could use a breaker.
00:49:08No.
00:49:09I must have skimmed past it.
00:49:11Let me look again
00:49:11from the top.
00:49:18Lainey,
00:49:20it's not there.
00:49:21My name simply isn't there.
00:49:24What?
00:49:24That's impossible!
00:49:27I'm looking right at it!
00:49:30How can you not
00:49:31be on the list?
00:49:38Hey, it's alright.
00:49:39Missing out on this one
00:49:40isn't the end of the world.
00:49:42I'm fine, really.
00:49:44You sure?
00:49:44You don't look fine.
00:49:46Honestly, I'm okay.
00:49:47Don't fuss over me.
00:49:48Go take care of your own work.
00:49:55If I can't join the project,
00:49:57so be it.
00:49:58The marriage is already finished.
00:50:00It's time to disappear
00:50:02for a while.
00:50:04Miss Russell,
00:50:05try not to let the list
00:50:06get to you.
00:50:07Luca,
00:50:07you really have no talent
00:50:08for comforting people,
00:50:09you know that?
00:50:11Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner
00:50:12at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:50:14If you're not busy,
00:50:15maybe you should come.
00:50:16It might give him
00:50:16a chance to reconsider.
00:50:18You helped him
00:50:18with his plans.
00:50:19If he made up his mind
00:50:20to exclude me,
00:50:21what's the point
00:50:21in showing up to beg?
00:50:23That won't be necessary.
00:50:25Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:50:27I'm sure he's found
00:50:28someone better suited
00:50:29for the team.
00:50:34Mark will discover
00:50:35the divorce agreement
00:50:35sooner or later.
00:50:37He'll move heaven and earth
00:50:38to hunt me down,
00:50:39but his attention
00:50:39is tangled up
00:50:40with Haley now.
00:50:41He won't waste much effort
00:50:42tracking me
00:50:43if I vanish completely
00:50:44from his radar.
00:50:46The farther I run,
00:50:47the safety I'll be.
00:50:53Stella,
00:50:53you're taking leave.
00:50:54Is this because
00:50:55you weren't on the project list?
00:50:57I just need a break, Lainey.
00:50:59You've seen how hard
00:51:00I've been working.
00:51:01You deserve it.
00:51:02You're always the first
00:51:02to arrive
00:51:03and the last to leave.
00:51:05Rest well.
00:51:08Mr. Briggs,
00:51:09that's Ms. Russell.
00:51:10She took extended leave today.
00:51:11She doesn't look happy.
00:51:12Should we tell her the truth
00:51:13about the team selection?
00:51:16She saw us.
00:51:19Sir?
00:51:20She's walking away.
00:51:21Fast.
00:51:22She's running.
00:51:22It's fine.
00:51:23She's not the delicate type.
00:51:24Drive.
00:51:26Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:51:28Where are you?
00:51:32Blocked.
00:51:34She actually blocked my number.
00:51:39If she's not coming home,
00:51:40where is she going?
00:51:47There she is.
00:51:48Finally.
00:51:49Wait a minute.
00:51:54It's the same one
00:51:55she got into before.
00:52:07It's the same one she got into before.
00:52:09William Briggs.
00:52:24Stella,
00:52:25why haven't you come home
00:52:26these past few days?
00:52:27I've just had a lot going on.
00:52:28So being busy means you have to
00:52:30clear out all your things?
00:52:31Half the house is empty, Stella,
00:52:33and everything missing belongs to you.
00:52:36You even blocked my number.
00:52:38And the wedding photo,
00:52:39it's gone.
00:52:39Where did you put everything, Stella?
00:52:41So he finally noticed.
00:52:44I ran into a little financial trouble,
00:52:46so I pawned my things.
00:52:47Once I've sorted things out,
00:52:48I'll get them back.
00:52:49If you needed money,
00:52:50why didn't you just tell me?
00:52:52There was no reason to pawn your things.
00:52:54Take these.
00:52:55Use them for whatever you want.
00:52:58That's not necessary.
00:52:59I've already sorted the money myself.
00:53:01You can keep those cards.
00:53:03Stella,
00:53:03what are you hiding from me?
00:53:04We're still husband and wife.
00:53:06No matter what's going on,
00:53:07good or bad,
00:53:08you can tell me.
00:53:09I'll handle it with you.
00:53:10You don't have to shoulder
00:53:11everything alone.
00:53:16There's nothing to tell.
00:53:18Work's been busy at the Institute,
00:53:20and I have a business trip coming up.
00:53:21I'll be out of town for a while.
00:53:25Wait!
00:53:33Go to the airport.
00:53:41So he's tailing me.
00:54:10Ma'am,
00:54:10if you help me out,
00:54:12I'll give you $500.
00:54:13When you head back in,
00:54:14just dump the water from your bucket
00:54:15onto the man waiting outside the restroom.
00:54:19He's been following me since I left home.
00:54:21I'm desperate.
00:54:21Please,
00:54:22if you can pull this off,
00:54:23the money's yours.
00:54:25Please,
00:54:25don't let him know I'm gone.
00:54:27And thank you.
00:54:27Really.
00:54:38What the hell are you doing?
00:54:39Oh my goodness,
00:54:40sir,
00:54:40I'm so sorry.
00:54:41I didn't see you standing there.
00:54:42I thought you were just
00:54:44part of the plumbing.
00:54:45Oh gosh,
00:54:46let me get that for you.
00:54:49Oh my gosh.
00:54:56I'm sorry.
00:54:57I'm sorry.
00:54:58I'm really sorry.
00:54:59Enough!
00:55:00Just go!
00:55:01Don't bother me!
00:55:08Stella,
00:55:08do you really think
00:55:09this will get rid of me?
00:55:17Hello?
00:55:18Stella?
00:55:19How much longer
00:55:20are you going to keep pestering Mark?
00:55:21He's finished with you.
00:55:22Why don't you have
00:55:23a little dignity and let go?
00:55:25Maybe you need a reminder,
00:55:26Haley.
00:55:27Mark and I are still married.
00:55:28The law is on my side.
00:55:29So tell me,
00:55:30who gave you permission
00:55:32to call me and hurl accusations?
00:55:34I'm not here to fight with you!
00:55:36Why don't you come over
00:55:37so we can talk face to face?
00:55:40It's simple.
00:55:41The one who isn't loved
00:55:42is always the third wheel.
00:55:45Take my advice
00:55:46and know your place.
00:55:47Is this really
00:55:48what the Smith family
00:55:49taught you
00:55:50to meddle in marriages
00:55:51and play the mistress?
00:55:53It's almost admirable
00:55:54how you can spout
00:55:55this nonsense
00:55:56without a single
00:55:57scrap of dignity.
00:55:58You'd better
00:55:59watch your mouth!
00:56:00I've got better things
00:56:01to do than play along
00:56:02with your bullshit.
00:56:03Maybe try focusing
00:56:04on the Walsh group's
00:56:05plummeting profits
00:56:06instead of
00:56:06pestering me.
00:56:09Stella.
00:56:11How could you speak
00:56:12to Haley like that?
00:56:13So you're her backup.
00:56:14Of course.
00:56:15Siding with anyone
00:56:16you think can benefit
00:56:16your precious son.
00:56:17You better show up
00:56:18right now.
00:56:19Let me make this clear.
00:56:20Clinging to my son
00:56:20will get you nowhere.
00:56:21You are nothing
00:56:22but a burden
00:56:22to our family.
00:56:23Come to the Voyage Hotel
00:56:24immediately.
00:56:24If not,
00:56:25you can face
00:56:26the consequences.
00:56:31Fine.
00:56:32I'm on my way.
00:56:37I'm on my way.
00:56:47So,
00:56:48you finally bothered
00:56:49to show up.
00:56:50I want you to
00:56:51divorce my son
00:56:52right now.
00:56:53And why is that?
00:56:55What have you ever done
00:56:56for the Walsh family?
00:56:57You can't even
00:56:58give us a child.
00:57:00Useless.
00:57:00There's no place
00:57:01for a barren hen
00:57:02like you.
00:57:02Her family is nothing.
00:57:04Raised without manners.
00:57:07You shouldn't
00:57:08lower yourself,
00:57:09Jaiselyn.
00:57:10Get those
00:57:10divorce papers
00:57:11ready by Monday.
00:57:12I refuse to tolerate
00:57:14you for one more day.
00:57:16Fine.
00:57:17I'll divorce him.
00:57:19What do you want
00:57:20out of this, Stella?
00:57:21I'm not making
00:57:22any demands.
00:57:24Divorce is fine
00:57:25by me.
00:57:30But, Jaiselyn,
00:57:32and I expect you
00:57:32to pay back
00:57:33every cent
00:57:33I spent
00:57:34on your beauty
00:57:35appointments
00:57:35and imported
00:57:36supplements.
00:57:37The health
00:57:37supplements
00:57:38you're taking
00:57:38every month,
00:57:39why not ask
00:57:39Mark who's
00:57:40really footing
00:57:40the bill?
00:57:41And everyone
00:57:42at the casino
00:57:42knows exactly
00:57:43how many toes
00:57:44you've stepped on.
00:57:46Stella,
00:57:46don't you dare
00:57:47get greedy with me.
00:57:47Why should I
00:57:48pay you back
00:57:48a cent?
00:57:49Those supplements,
00:57:50my son paid
00:57:51for them.
00:57:51As for the salon
00:57:52visits,
00:57:52I cover those
00:57:53with my own
00:57:53membership.
00:57:54Stella,
00:57:55honestly,
00:57:55isn't this a little
00:57:56beneath you?
00:57:56Or could it be
00:57:57you're not actually
00:57:58ready for this
00:57:58divorce?
00:57:58And you're
00:57:59just making
00:57:59excuses to
00:58:00keep Jason
00:58:00on a leash?
00:58:02I'm just
00:58:02laying out
00:58:03the truth here.
00:58:04That membership
00:58:05card you're
00:58:05so fond of?
00:58:06My friend
00:58:06owns the salon.
00:58:07I got you
00:58:08a 90% discount.
00:58:09Please,
00:58:09Mrs. Walsh,
00:58:10don't worry.
00:58:10From now on,
00:58:11I'll make sure
00:58:11you have
00:58:11everything you need.
00:58:12Your standard
00:58:13of living drop,
00:58:13I swear.
00:58:14Supplements,
00:58:14salon treatments,
00:58:15I have plenty
00:58:15of connections.
00:58:16I'll handle it all.
00:58:17These are just
00:58:18the tip of the iceberg.
00:58:19Fine.
00:58:20If you claim
00:58:20all that's gone,
00:58:21then so be it.
00:58:22But I want you
00:58:22to divorce my son
00:58:23right now!
00:58:24All right.
00:58:25But a divorce
00:58:26requires both parties
00:58:27to show up.
00:58:28If you can get
00:58:28Mark here,
00:58:29I won't stand
00:58:30in your way.
00:58:33If you're so
00:58:33determined,
00:58:34maybe spend
00:58:34your energy
00:58:35convincing him
00:58:35instead of
00:58:36wasting mine.
00:58:42She really has
00:58:43no idea
00:58:43what's coming.
00:58:44We gave her
00:58:45the chance
00:58:45to bow out
00:58:46gracefully,
00:58:46and she turned
00:58:47it down.
00:58:48She'll see.
00:58:49Once her name's
00:58:50dragged through the mud,
00:58:51Mark won't even
00:58:51look her way.
00:58:52And by then,
00:58:53leaving won't be
00:58:53her decision anymore.
00:58:55Jaiselyn,
00:58:55you're the best.
00:58:56I swear,
00:58:57I'll be the most
00:58:58loyal daughter-in-law
00:58:58you've ever had.
00:59:17I swear,
00:59:25I'll be the most
00:59:27Mr. Briggs,
00:59:29I really believe
00:59:30Miss Russell
00:59:30is the ideal choice
00:59:31for the project.
00:59:32She's head and shoulders
00:59:33above the others.
00:59:35Also,
00:59:35earlier today,
00:59:36when she saw her car,
00:59:37she looked hesitant,
00:59:38almost anxious,
00:59:39and left right after.
00:59:40It felt like she didn't
00:59:41want to be misunderstood.
00:59:42Honestly, sir,
00:59:43I don't believe
00:59:44she's the kind of woman
00:59:45you perceive her to be.
00:59:46She's always been composed
00:59:47and respectful
00:59:47in everything she does.
00:59:49My attention is needed
00:59:50elsewhere.
00:59:51Inform me of our
00:59:52guest's arrival.
00:59:56It looked like
00:59:57Stella.
01:00:00No,
01:00:01it couldn't have been her.
01:00:28Please,
01:00:29I'll give you anything you want.
01:00:31Just let me go.
01:00:37Quit fighting.
01:00:38We're not here to harm you.
01:00:40We just need
01:00:40a few dirty pictures.
01:00:42Pictures?
01:00:43What kind of pictures?
01:00:52Who asked you to do this?
01:00:53I have money.
01:00:53Whatever they paid you,
01:00:54I'll match it
01:00:55and add more.
01:00:56Don't bother.
01:00:56This will be over soon
01:00:57if you stop fighting.
01:00:58You're committing a crime.
01:00:59Sooner or later,
01:01:00you'll be arrested.
01:01:00I will report everything
01:01:02and none of you
01:01:02will walk away clean.
01:01:03Or,
01:01:04you take my money now,
01:01:04walk out that door
01:01:05and I never mention this again.
01:01:06Think it over.
01:01:07Don't waste your energy.
01:01:10Hayley?
01:01:13There's no way out.
01:01:14Since we're gonna stage
01:01:15something like this,
01:01:16it better look real.
01:01:18Stage what?
01:01:19People care about
01:01:20believability now.
01:01:22These are your props.
01:01:24Use them however you want.
01:01:25And don't bother with condoms.
01:01:34Hey, Lee, this is illegal!
01:01:36You think foreign citizenship
01:01:38makes you untouchable?
01:01:41You bunch of wimps!
01:01:43I'll handle it!
01:01:47And you, Stella,
01:01:49you really think
01:01:49you're on Mark's level?
01:01:50He's the one
01:01:51who told me to do this.
01:01:53He wants you punished.
01:02:04There.
01:02:05The contract is binding.
01:02:07Your patent rights
01:02:07now belong to my family.
01:02:09For free.
01:02:09She's all yours, boys.
01:02:11Enjoy.
01:02:12Damn, you smell good.
01:02:14So soft.
01:02:15Bet you look real pretty crying.
01:02:16Which toy should we use first?
01:02:20Don't touch me.
01:02:26What the hell?
01:02:27Get these bastards
01:02:28out of here.
01:02:30No!
01:02:31Let go of me!
01:02:38Are you alright?
01:02:42The ropes are off.
01:02:43You're safe now.
01:02:47I'm...
01:02:47alright, thanks.
01:02:49Come on.
01:02:50Let's get you out of here.
01:03:00Careful.
01:03:09Mr. Briggs,
01:03:10we've identified those people,
01:03:12but say it,
01:03:14she deserves the truth.
01:03:16Some of them
01:03:16carry infectious diseases.
01:03:17If they'd laid a hand
01:03:18on Mrs. Russell,
01:03:19the fallout
01:03:19would have been catastrophic.
01:03:23Haley,
01:03:23she meant to destroy me.
01:03:25Mr. Briggs,
01:03:26thank you for everything
01:03:26you've done today,
01:03:27but from here on out,
01:03:28I'll handle it myself.
01:03:30This isn't your battle.
01:03:40A clean divorce
01:03:41was all I wanted,
01:03:42but their cruelty
01:03:43has gone too far.
01:03:44If that's how they want to play,
01:03:45then I'm finished
01:03:46being merciful.
01:03:58Where do you think
01:03:59you're going?
01:04:01Your IV's still running.
01:04:21Stella?
01:04:22What on earth
01:04:23happened to you?
01:04:25I'm alright,
01:04:26Lainey.
01:04:29You are not alright.
01:04:30Oh dear,
01:04:31what happened?
01:04:32Don't be scared,
01:04:32I'm right here.
01:04:33Tell me who did this to you.
01:04:40It was Mark and Haley.
01:04:44Mark?
01:04:45Did he lay a hand on you?
01:04:46Has he completely
01:04:47lost his mind?
01:04:49No,
01:04:49he didn't touch me.
01:04:51Can we talk inside?
01:04:55Haley did that to you?
01:04:56She ought to be behind bars.
01:04:58She forced me to imprint
01:05:00my fingerprint on the document
01:05:01when I had no strength left.
01:05:03They didn't partner with me,
01:05:05Lainey.
01:05:05They stole the patent.
01:05:08Don't stress.
01:05:09I'll help you get it back.
01:05:10I found another buyer for you.
01:05:12I've been putting together
01:05:13the contract.
01:05:14But Haley already took
01:05:16the contract with my fingerprint.
01:05:17The buyer I found
01:05:19is trustworthy.
01:05:19Once you sign his contract,
01:05:22he'll take care of everything.
01:05:23What Haley did was illegal.
01:05:29I can't believe Mark.
01:05:31All those years,
01:05:32he acted like the perfect partner.
01:05:33It was a fa-facade.
01:05:35It makes me sick.
01:05:36How could he be so cruel?
01:05:38Now that everything
01:05:39had blown up,
01:05:40I had no intention of that.
01:05:42I had no intention
01:05:43of playing nice anymore.
01:05:45Lainey,
01:05:46I need a little help.
01:05:48Name it.
01:05:49As long as it's something
01:05:50I can do,
01:05:50I'm on your side.
01:05:56Could you help me with this?
01:06:10She's cutting me off.
01:06:12Proving a point.
01:06:14Haley,
01:06:14where are you?
01:06:15At the spa.
01:06:16Why?
01:06:17Miss me already?
01:06:17There's a charity gala
01:06:18tomorrow night.
01:06:19Come with me.
01:06:19With you?
01:06:20To a public event?
01:06:21Of course.
01:06:22This is perfect.
01:06:23Tomorrow,
01:06:24everyone will see the photos
01:06:25of Stella's humiliation.
01:06:26Mark will have no choice
01:06:27but to drop her for good.
01:06:28But Mark,
01:06:29I don't have a dress.
01:06:31I'll pick you up early.
01:06:33We'll go shopping.
01:06:34You're the best.
01:06:35Love you.
01:06:35This gala is important.
01:06:36A new partner will be there.
01:06:38Haley's family name
01:06:39might just give me
01:06:39the edge I need.
01:06:41Stella wants to fight dirty?
01:06:42I can play that game too.
01:06:44Mark,
01:06:45what about this one?
01:06:46Yeah,
01:06:47looks good.
01:06:48You haven't even looked.
01:06:49Look at me properly.
01:06:50It suits you.
01:06:51The color works.
01:06:52I'll take it.
01:06:53Stella never needed all this.
01:06:54A t-shirt,
01:06:55a ponytail,
01:06:5510 minutes and she was ready.
01:06:57Not a whole day.
01:07:03Who's that with Mr. Walsh?
01:07:05The Smith girl?
01:07:06They look awfully close.
01:07:07Is it an affair?
01:07:09No way.
01:07:10Did Mr. Walsh
01:07:10already divorce his wife?
01:07:14Divorce.
01:07:18Divorce.
01:07:18Divorce.
01:07:20Divorce.
01:07:26Let them whisper, Mark.
01:07:28Tonight,
01:07:28they see you with me,
01:07:29not her.
01:07:30Keep your chin up
01:07:31and ignore them.
01:07:32We need to find Mr. Williams.
01:07:33Today is the day
01:07:34Stella finally loses everything.
01:07:40Mr. Williams,
01:07:41it's been too long.
01:07:42Mr. Walsh,
01:07:43a pleasure.
01:07:45And you are?
01:07:46Haley.
01:07:47I'm a great admirer
01:07:48of your work, sir.
01:07:50I see.
01:07:53Williams,
01:07:53there you are.
01:07:54We need to talk.
01:07:55Mark,
01:07:56forget him.
01:07:57It's time.
01:08:02Nothing.
01:08:02There's nothing here.
01:08:04What are you talking about?
01:08:05Put the phone away.
01:08:06Where is Jaiselyn?
01:08:07She had all day.
01:08:07Did she get cold feet?
01:08:09Come here.
01:08:10Now.
01:08:10Ladies,
01:08:11I must be going.
01:08:11My son and daughter-in-law
01:08:13need me.
01:08:14Daughter-in-law?
01:08:15Since when?
01:08:18A message from Haley.
01:08:20She must have
01:08:20the photos already.
01:08:22She wants me there
01:08:22for the big reveal.
01:08:24Oh,
01:08:24this is going to be perfect.
01:08:32Jaiselyn!
01:08:34Jaiselyn!
01:08:35Jaiselyn!
01:08:37You look gorgeous.
01:08:39Did Mark pick it?
01:08:41He did.
01:08:42He said the color suits me.
01:08:45Darling,
01:08:46why did you call me here?
01:08:48My mother is arriving soon
01:08:49to sign a major deal
01:08:50with Mark.
01:08:51But with my current status,
01:08:53things are complicated.
01:08:56Stella signed away
01:08:57the patent.
01:08:58She has nothing left
01:08:59to bargain with.
01:09:00She's powerless now.
01:09:03Don't worry, dear.
01:09:04I understand perfectly.
01:09:06I will handle it.
01:09:13Mom,
01:09:15what the hell
01:09:16are you doing here?
01:09:20Why shouldn't I be here, Mark?
01:09:22To tell everyone the truth
01:09:23about your pathetic wife?
01:09:25Don't you dare.
01:09:27Stella is not worthy of you.
01:09:29She's been messing around
01:09:31with other men
01:09:33behind your back.
01:09:38A shameless woman
01:09:40dragging the Walsh name
01:09:42through the mud.
01:09:47You need to divorce her.
01:09:49Divorce her right now
01:09:51before she ruins us all.
01:09:52That's enough.
01:09:58What nonsense
01:09:59are you spouting
01:10:00in front of everyone?
01:10:05Look at you, Mark.
01:10:06Still defending that woman?
01:10:08She's been cheating on you.
01:10:10Haley is the one
01:10:10who deserves you.
01:10:12Divorce Stella already.
01:10:15Don't worry, Jaslyn.
01:10:16I'll take good care of Mark.
01:10:19Cheating?
01:10:20What are you talking about?
01:10:21Stella would never...
01:10:23Mom,
01:10:24what are you really doing here?
01:10:26I told you,
01:10:27I've seen the disgusting photos.
01:10:29And you're still defending her?
01:10:32Here.
01:10:33Stella signed this contract herself.
01:10:35She's guilty, Mark.
01:10:36She's trying to clean up
01:10:37her mess quietly.
01:10:39She signed this?
01:10:40Why?
01:10:41Was my mother right?
01:10:43Did she betray me with William?
01:10:50Stella.
01:10:57It can't be.
01:10:59After everything we did,
01:11:00how is she standing there?
01:11:03She wouldn't dare
01:11:04show her face.
01:11:06Not tonight.
01:11:07Not after those photos.
01:11:17Mark.
01:11:18Don't let her intimidate you.
01:11:20My family is reasonable.
01:11:21They won't judge you
01:11:22for leaving her.
01:11:27Mr. Walsh,
01:11:28our family usually
01:11:29wouldn't consider
01:11:29a divorced man.
01:11:30But since Haley
01:11:31has chosen you,
01:11:32we won't stand in your way.
01:11:33Just make sure you resolve
01:11:34things with your ex-wife properly.
01:11:36Everyone knows the problems
01:11:37in your marriage
01:11:38weren't your fault.
01:11:40Stella, is it?
01:11:42After everything you've done,
01:11:43you'd be wise
01:11:44to sign the divorce papers
01:11:45and spare yourself
01:11:46the shame.
01:11:47Tell me, Mark,
01:11:48what was my crime
01:11:50in this marriage?
01:11:51What did I do
01:11:51to deserve this treatment
01:11:52from you?
01:11:52Stella, this isn't...
01:11:55You have the nerve
01:11:56to ask what you did wrong?
01:11:57You were sleeping around
01:11:58while married,
01:11:59openly shameless.
01:12:00I used to think
01:12:01you refused to divorce
01:12:02because you had
01:12:02real feelings for Mark.
01:12:03But how could you take
01:12:04such vulgar pictures
01:12:05with other men?
01:12:06The props, the outfits.
01:12:07I never expected you
01:12:08to be like that.
01:12:08I won't let Mark
01:12:09continue to be
01:12:10with someone like you.
01:12:12Seriously, Stella?
01:12:13Are you really
01:12:14that reckless?
01:12:14That's disgusting.
01:12:16Honestly,
01:12:16someone from outside
01:12:17our circle
01:12:18wouldn't understand
01:12:19basic decency.
01:12:20No wonder Mark
01:12:21would rather be
01:12:21with the Smith girl
01:12:22after what she pulled.
01:12:23who could tolerate
01:12:24their wife
01:12:24being with other men.
01:12:29You're accusing me
01:12:30of sleeping around, Haley.
01:12:32Do you have proof?
01:12:34Everyone is talking about it.
01:12:36No, you are talking about it.
01:12:38And without proof,
01:12:39it's slander.
01:12:40I can take you to court.
01:12:42You speak with such detail
01:12:44about the toys,
01:12:45the outfits.
01:12:46Were you hiding
01:12:47in the room?
01:12:49Or did you set it all up?
01:12:51Well,
01:12:52someone saw it
01:12:53and told me.
01:12:55The truth always
01:12:56comes out, Stella.
01:12:58All right, then.
01:12:59If you're so confident,
01:13:00show us the evidence.
01:13:01What toys?
01:13:02Which men?
01:13:02Let's see it.
01:13:05Jatelyn!
01:13:06Haley,
01:13:06show them the proof already.
01:13:08Didn't you say
01:13:09you saw everything yourself?
01:13:10What?
01:13:11I thought you had the photos!
01:13:12What's wrong?
01:13:13Can't find your proof now?
01:13:15Want me to give you a hand?
01:13:17Maybe I should start
01:13:18laying out the details
01:13:19of your little affair
01:13:20with Mark.
01:13:22Should I tell everyone
01:13:24what you two have been doing
01:13:25behind closed doors?
01:13:30Stella, wait!
01:13:32Please, let me explain!
01:13:39Stella, I trust you.
01:13:42Please, just hear me out.
01:13:44Don't lay off-hander on me.
01:13:46I feel sick just looking at you.
01:13:54Is this your idea of love, Mark?
01:13:57Loving two women at once?
01:13:59It's pathetic.
01:14:09Stella, what happened to you?
01:14:11What happened?
01:14:12Isn't it obvious?
01:14:14Those are the marks
01:14:16from her night
01:14:17with those men.
01:14:21You only signed the contract
01:14:23because you were scared
01:14:24we'd expose you!
01:14:25You were begging them
01:14:27not to stop!
01:14:29You kept saying
01:14:30how much you liked it!
01:14:33And now you want to act
01:14:34like you're the victim?
01:14:35You know what you did
01:14:36as a crime, right?
01:14:38You could go to prison
01:14:39for this.
01:14:42Stella?
01:14:45What is she talking about?
01:14:48Were you with other men?
01:14:51Mrs. Russell,
01:14:52how dare you spout
01:14:52such lies about my daughter?
01:14:54That accusation
01:14:55is completely out of line.
01:14:57Mr. Walsh,
01:14:58I only agreed to work with you
01:15:00because of Haley.
01:15:01After this slander,
01:15:02I see no reason to continue.
01:15:03Come, Haley.
01:15:04Mother, wait.
01:15:05I don't want to go.
01:15:06Hold on.
01:15:08Haley,
01:15:09what exactly did you do
01:15:09to Stella?
01:15:10Mark,
01:15:10I haven't done anything!
01:15:11Don't you believe me?
01:15:12Hasn't Stella been ignoring you lately?
01:15:14Staying away from home?
01:15:16If she's so innocent,
01:15:17then why hasn't she
01:15:18come back to you?
01:15:19Before you say a word, Mark...
01:15:32Do whatever you want.
01:15:33If anything goes wrong,
01:15:35I'll handle it.
01:15:37Stella,
01:15:38Mark told me to handle this.
01:15:42You refused to sign the contract
01:15:44nicely,
01:15:44so this is your punishment!
01:15:50What now, Haley?
01:15:52Got anything to say?
01:15:55Or are you going to tell everyone
01:15:56that the recording is fake?
01:15:58What?
01:15:59You actually sent people
01:16:00to rape Stella?
01:16:01Haley,
01:16:02our plan was just to take
01:16:03some fake photos!
01:16:05That was it!
01:16:05I never agreed
01:16:06to something criminal!
01:16:08You're more ruthless
01:16:09than I ever imagined!
01:16:26Mark,
01:16:27please!
01:16:28It's not what it looks like!
01:16:29Nobody believes me!
01:16:30I believe my own ears,
01:16:31Haley.
01:16:32How could you?
01:16:34It was your mother!
01:16:36Jaiselyn told me to do it!
01:16:37What?
01:16:37You dare lie about me?
01:16:39It's the truth!
01:16:40You said Stella
01:16:41couldn't have kids!
01:16:42That she wasn't
01:16:42good enough for Mark!
01:16:45You are one hero to tell me!
01:16:47You wanted her gone!
01:16:48This was all your idea!
01:16:50Stop blaming me
01:16:50without proof!
01:16:51You've lost your mind!
01:16:53Mother,
01:16:54that sounds exactly
01:16:55like something
01:16:56you would say.
01:16:57Mark,
01:16:57she's trying to tear
01:16:58our family apart!
01:17:00Don't listen to her!
01:17:02Mr. Briggs,
01:17:03Miss Russell
01:17:03has signed the contract.
01:17:05Did she ask
01:17:05for anything else?
01:17:06No, sir.
01:17:07She signed it easily.
01:17:10Just as I thought.
01:17:12Is there more?
01:17:13Mrs. Russell
01:17:14went to the
01:17:15Choria charity event
01:17:15by herself tonight.
01:17:18Was the Walsh family there?
01:17:20Yes,
01:17:20and there's been
01:17:21some drama.
01:17:22Miss Russell
01:17:22played a recording.
01:17:23A recording?
01:17:24So she came prepared.
01:17:29Are you heading out,
01:17:30Mr. Briggs?
01:17:30She's our partner now.
01:17:32If something happens to her,
01:17:33it could affect our company.
01:17:35I'll take you there, sir.
01:17:46You've got some nerve,
01:17:47Haley!
01:17:48You knew my son
01:17:50was married
01:17:50and still chased him!
01:17:52You hired thugs
01:17:53to kidnap Stella!
01:17:55Don't you dare
01:17:56pin that on me!
01:17:57You're the one
01:17:57who told me to do it!
01:17:58I was following
01:18:00your orders!
01:18:01Right?
01:18:09Miss Russell,
01:18:10I'm so sorry!
01:18:11This is all on me!
01:18:12Mark's mom tricked me,
01:18:14I swear!
01:18:16I never meant to hurt you.
01:18:18Whatever compensation
01:18:19you want,
01:18:20money,
01:18:21anything,
01:18:21my family will pay.
01:18:22Please,
01:18:23just forgive me.
01:18:24Oh?
01:18:25And how much exactly
01:18:27were you planning to offer?
01:18:28Whatever you want.
01:18:30Just name it.
01:18:31My family can afford it!
01:18:34Stella,
01:18:35why are you even
01:18:36entertaining this?
01:18:39Haley,
01:18:40not everything in life
01:18:41can be solved
01:18:42by throwing money at it.
01:18:44I don't want your money.
01:18:46I'm taking the evidence
01:18:47to the police.
01:18:50Let them handle it.
01:18:51The police?
01:18:53Oh, and by the way,
01:18:54all that effort you put in,
01:18:56it was a waste.
01:18:58Your guys failed.
01:19:03I just walked away
01:19:04with a few scratches.
01:19:08What?
01:19:10No.
01:19:11That can't be right.
01:19:13You're lying!
01:19:17Stella.
01:19:19Thank God.
01:19:21I was so worried.
01:19:22You're safe.
01:19:27Didn't I tell you
01:19:28to stay away from me?
01:19:30You make me sick.
01:19:32Stella?
01:19:33I just wanted to make sure
01:19:35you were okay.
01:19:35I'm not done with you.
01:19:36That patent your company
01:19:39has been using?
01:19:42You forced me into a deal
01:19:44and kept using my work
01:19:45after it expired.
01:19:46That's illegal.
01:19:48The contract.
01:19:50Haley gave me that contract.
01:19:52My new partners
01:19:53have already taken a hit
01:19:54because of your actions.
01:19:56Even if I wanted to spare you,
01:19:58they won't.
01:20:00Prepare for a huge payout.
01:20:02Oh, come on, Stella.
01:20:04Do you really think
01:20:06anyone will buy that story?
01:20:08Who would dare sue
01:20:10the Walsh group?
01:20:14You're just trying to play
01:20:15the sympathy card
01:20:16so Mark won't divorce you.
01:20:18What do you even have
01:20:19to offer him?
01:20:20I bring him foreign investors.
01:20:22Key partnerships.
01:20:25You have nothing!
01:20:29What have you ever done
01:20:30besides that one lucky patent?
01:20:32If Mark hadn't backed you,
01:20:34you'd be on the streets.
01:20:35He only used it
01:20:37because he felt sorry for you.
01:20:38Do you seriously think
01:20:40you're some brilliant inventor?
01:20:44You are utterly disgraceful, Stella.
01:20:48Am I?
01:20:49Or is it the woman
01:20:50who proudly acts
01:20:51as a mistress in public?
01:20:55Is this what passes
01:20:56for aristocratic grace
01:20:57in Autredi?
01:20:58Don't you dare!
01:20:59You and your worthless patent!
01:21:01My patent is the reason
01:21:02the Walsh group
01:21:02has had any success.
01:21:04Should we review the contracts?
01:21:05The ones that show
01:21:06you've never paid me
01:21:07the monthly fees you owe?
01:21:08You're lying!
01:21:09You have no contract!
01:21:11Go on, prove it!
01:21:12Where is your evidence?
01:21:13Yes, bring it out.
01:21:14I want to see
01:21:15who dares to challenge
01:21:16the Walsh family.
01:21:19I'm the one
01:21:20who signed her patent?
01:21:21Is there an issue with that?
01:21:26I signed the contract.
01:21:28Does anyone here
01:21:28has a problem with it?
01:21:29William, you?
01:21:31After years of working
01:21:32with the Walsh group,
01:21:33Ms. Russell hasn't received
01:21:34a single payment.
01:21:35Let me make this clear
01:21:36to everyone.
01:21:37I run a principled company.
01:21:38You will be paid
01:21:39every cent you are owed,
01:21:40Mrs. Russell.
01:21:41And my legal team
01:21:42will assist you
01:21:43in recovering everything
01:21:43you are entitled to.
01:21:46I've never seen him
01:21:47look at me like that before.
01:21:48Was it real?
01:21:49Or was my mind
01:21:50just playing tricks on me?
01:21:57And who exactly
01:21:59do you think you are?
01:22:00Did Stella hire you
01:22:01to play along
01:22:01in this little act of hers?
01:22:03Saying you signed
01:22:03a contract
01:22:04doesn't make it real.
01:22:05What matters is proof,
01:22:06not who can talk
01:22:07the biggest game.
01:22:11It's been a while
01:22:11since I've come across
01:22:12such pure stupidity.
01:22:14It's almost entertaining.
01:22:15William Briggs,
01:22:16heir to the Briggs family
01:22:18and Brissette.
01:22:19The MU project
01:22:21with the Achire Royal family
01:22:22and the Hookwood
01:22:23Research Institute,
01:22:24all under my name.
01:22:26Is that enough
01:22:27to qualify
01:22:27for Mrs. Russell's patent?
01:22:30Stella, come here.
01:22:32You're still my wife.
01:22:33My husband is trying
01:22:34to save face.
01:22:35How pathetic.
01:22:36Oh?
01:22:37So you do remember
01:22:38she's your wife,
01:22:39Mr. Walsh?
01:22:40That's funny.
01:22:41I thought the woman
01:22:42beside you
01:22:42was your true match.
01:22:45Stella,
01:22:46I said,
01:22:47come here.
01:22:48Now!
01:22:49Mark,
01:22:50stop the act.
01:22:51I was serious
01:22:52when I said
01:22:52I wanted a divorce.
01:22:53You betrayed me first.
01:22:55Did you really think
01:22:56I would stay
01:22:57chained to you forever?
01:22:59Stella,
01:23:00I know you're upset.
01:23:01Let's just go home
01:23:02and talk.
01:23:04Whatever apology
01:23:05you want,
01:23:05I'll give it.
01:23:05You think an apology
01:23:06fixes this?
01:23:07You think I'm just
01:23:08making a scene?
01:23:10Mr. Briggs,
01:23:11thank you for recognizing
01:23:12my wife's talent.
01:23:13I'm so happy for her.
01:23:14Mr. Walsh,
01:23:15you should probably
01:23:16focus on calming
01:23:17your mistress.
01:23:18How dare you!
01:23:19And Mrs. Russell's
01:23:20patent speaks for itself.
01:23:21It has nothing to do
01:23:22with you,
01:23:23so don't try to take credit.
01:23:25You're enjoying this,
01:23:26aren't you, Stella?
01:23:27I'm enjoying someone
01:23:28finally seeing
01:23:28through your performance.
01:23:39Get out of my way!
01:23:42No.
01:23:54We received a little
01:23:55report of kidnapping
01:23:56and assault.
01:23:57Haley Smith,
01:23:58Mark Wald,
01:23:58and Jaiselyn Wald,
01:23:59please come with us.
01:24:00What?
01:24:01She really called the police?
01:24:02Mom,
01:24:03I don't want to go!
01:24:04Officer,
01:24:04this must be a mistake.
01:24:05You can't arrest my daughter
01:24:06over a simple accusation.
01:24:08We'll sort that out
01:24:08at the station, ma'am.
01:24:09Please don't interfere.
01:24:10Mom, do something!
01:24:11Call someone!
01:24:12I can't.
01:24:14My name means nothing here.
01:24:17Mrs. Smith,
01:24:18put your hands
01:24:19behind your back.
01:24:20You're coming with us.
01:24:23No, I do not.
01:24:31No!
01:24:31I didn't do anything wrong!
01:24:32Why are you taking me?
01:24:33Ma'am,
01:24:34if you're innocent,
01:24:34the truth will come out.
01:24:35Please cooperate.
01:24:36Mom, say something!
01:24:37Stella is lying to them!
01:24:38My daughter.
01:24:40They're putting you
01:24:41in handcuffs.
01:24:42Jaiselyn Wald?
01:24:43I don't know anything.
01:24:44I swear.
01:24:45I'll come with you.
01:24:46I'll tell you
01:24:46everything I know.
01:24:52Where are you going?
01:24:55Back to the research center.
01:24:57That's on my way.
01:24:58I'll drop you.
01:24:59There's no need,
01:25:00Mr. Briggs.
01:25:01I can manage.
01:25:02I helped you once
01:25:03and now you're trying
01:25:03to keep your distance?
01:25:06I'll drop you.
01:25:07I'll drop you.
01:25:08I'll drop you.
01:25:08I'll drop you.
01:25:08I'll drop you.
01:25:08I'll drop you.
01:25:24Oh, I am so sorry, I, Stella, sorry, I, I didn't mean to.
01:25:42Don't move.
01:25:54I'm so sorry, Mr. Briggs. The car turned, I lost my balance. I swear I have no improper intentions towards
01:25:59you whatsoever.
01:26:00I can see that.
01:26:02No, you don't believe me. If I have any improper thoughts about you, then may I get hit by a
01:26:06car the moment I step outside?
01:26:07There's no need for such a dramatic curse. I'm not blind, I saw what happened.
01:26:11Well, you were basically blind last time.
01:26:14Where did that come from?
01:26:22Mr. Briggs, I feel like you have a bias against me. It makes things really difficult whenever you're around.
01:26:28When have I ever made things difficult for you?
01:26:36Forget I said anything, just pretend I was rambling.
01:26:41Ms. Russell, you took my measurements earlier.
01:26:46I, yes?
01:26:48So the suit should fit perfectly this time, right?
01:26:52This time? But you told me not to waste my time on trivial things.
01:26:58We've arrived at the Research Institute's dormitory, Ms. Russell. Please take care.
01:27:11Stella, you're back!
01:27:13How did it go? Is everything alright?
01:27:16It went well, Lainey. Thanks to you and that recorder, everyone know Haley framed me.
01:27:21Good! Those two snakes deserve everything that's coming to them. I hope they rot!
01:27:25Speaking of things coming to them...
01:27:27Why didn't you tell me Mr. Briggs was behind the company I signed with?
01:27:30Wait, what are you talking about?
01:27:33The new contract. It's with a subsidiary of the Briggs Group.
01:27:36Oh my god! William, you're working with him? I swear I had no idea!
01:27:40I just knew they seemed professional and the offer was generous. I never would have guessed!
01:27:44It's okay, Lainey. It doesn't matter. As long as the partnership works.
01:27:47Works? Stella, it's more than working. You're all over the internet.
01:27:50Briggs Group is suing Mark for everything he's worth.
01:27:52They are?
01:27:53Yes! The compensation alone might bankrupt him.
01:27:55His partners are pulling out. Investors are gone. The Walsh Group is finished!
01:28:03And Haley?
01:28:05Oh, she's not getting away.
01:28:06This has become a diplomatic issue.
01:28:09She's going to jail.
