00:00:16Oh, Henry.
00:00:17Stella, you came for me.
00:00:19No turning back, ever.
00:00:33Stella, marrying into the Howards is the best thing that's ever going to happen to you.
00:00:37Sure, Henry's a vegetable and his face is a mess, but he's still a Washington billionaire.
00:00:42You're a nobody from nowhere.
00:00:44Walk in there, you're the lady of the house.
00:00:46That's a sweet deal.
00:00:49So sweet you're not taking it yourself?
00:00:51Watch it.
00:00:52I'm a real Sterling.
00:00:53You're just a stray they picked up off the street.
00:00:55You stole my life for 15 years.
00:00:58Time to pay up.
00:01:00Those shoes you're wearing can't even buy one rise in stone off my dress.
00:01:05What makes you think you're in my league?
00:01:11That's it!
00:01:12You're out of control!
00:01:13Someone hold her down!
00:01:15Let me make this crystal clear.
00:01:17You're walking down that aisle, whether you like it or not.
00:01:21Your grandmother's still in the ICU.
00:01:23The Howard's bride price is the only thing keeping her alive.
00:01:26And I'll have them pull the plug myself,
00:01:28threatening me with grandma.
00:01:30You Sterlings just dug your own graves.
00:01:33Aren't you worried the Howards will figure out I'm not Vivian?
00:01:36That's not your concern.
00:01:38Henry Howard's brain dead.
00:01:40All they need is a warm body for show.
00:01:42Shut your mouth, play your part,
00:01:43and I'll keep those hospital bills paid.
00:01:46Hear that?
00:01:48You're stuck with a vegetable for life.
00:01:50When the Howards finally put you out of your misery,
00:01:52I'll be nice enough to come pick up your body.
00:01:58What are you doing?
00:01:59Let go!
00:01:59You can't afford this dress!
00:02:01Afford it?
00:02:04You're insane!
00:02:06Fine.
00:02:07I'll do it.
00:02:07But you better pray Henry Howard stays a vegetable forever.
00:02:12Because if he ever wakes up,
00:02:13every penny you Sterlings took on me,
00:02:16I'm coming back for it.
00:02:18With interest.
00:02:19Henry Howard?
00:02:20Perfect.
00:02:21I need a cover identity to find out what really happened back then anyway.
00:02:24Look at her!
00:02:25That ungrateful brat!
00:02:27Let her go.
00:02:28Once she walks through those Howard gates,
00:02:31she's not our problem anymore.
00:02:32Alive or dead.
00:02:41This place looks more like a funeral than a wedding.
00:02:44Guess the rumors about Henry's standing in the family were right.
00:02:49So you're the one the Sterling sent.
00:02:51Look at that rag you're wearing.
00:02:53What a bad omen.
00:02:54I'm Stella Sterling,
00:02:56Henry Howard's wife.
00:02:57Wife?
00:02:58Don't flatter yourself.
00:03:00Everyone in Washington knows what Master Howard is now.
00:03:03You're just a paid decoration.
00:03:05Walk through that door,
00:03:06you follow our rules.
00:03:09Keep your head down and your mouth shut,
00:03:11or you'll end up as dog food.
00:03:14In you go.
00:03:15This is your new room.
00:03:17Master Howard needs total silence.
00:03:19Your job is to wash him,
00:03:21clean him,
00:03:22change his bedpan.
00:03:23You don't leave this room unless I say so.
00:03:25And if I need to eat,
00:03:27someone will shove bread through the door crack.
00:03:30Think you're here to be a lady?
00:03:31You're a glorified nurse.
00:03:33If Master Howard dies on your watch,
00:03:36you're going with him.
00:03:41Locked me up like a prisoner?
00:03:43Uncle George's faction is really going all out to grab power.
00:03:52Something's not right.
00:03:53There is a fraction of a second discrepancy
00:03:56between his respiratory rate and the rise and fall of his chest.
00:04:01And...
00:04:03There's a hint of killing stink in the air.
00:04:05Barely hidden.
00:04:06A real vegetable wouldn't be this tense.
00:04:10Interesting.
00:04:11The Howards are more fun than I expected.
00:04:17Reverse blood flow.
00:04:19This isn't nerve damage from a car wreck.
00:04:22No muscle atrophy.
00:04:23Reflexes are sharp.
00:04:24He's not paralyzed.
00:04:25And this pulse pattern...
00:04:26It's bone-rotting poison from the south.
00:04:31Henry must be exhausting playing dead for so long.
00:04:35Bone-rotting poison feels like a thousand ants eating you from the inside.
00:04:39You've been holding it back with sheer willpower.
00:04:41But the poison's all backed up around your heart.
00:04:44Three more days of this and you'll be dead for real.
00:04:47Lucky for you, I walked in.
00:04:49This needle either reverses the poison and kills you instantly,
00:04:53or clears the blockage and saves your life.
00:04:55What do you say, Henry?
00:04:57Feeling lucky?
00:05:03Finally decided to wake up?
00:05:05Who sent you?
00:05:06Uncle George?
00:05:07The Sterlings?
00:05:08If I were a killer, you'd already be dead.
00:05:11Cut the act.
00:05:12The Sterlings' useless daughter doesn't know medicine
00:05:14sure as hell doesn't know bone-rotting poison.
00:05:17Give me a real answer, and I'll make it quick.
00:05:21Three, two...
00:05:22Henry, check your right caradiad.
00:05:28You pull that trigger.
00:05:29This needle goes in.
00:05:31Neurotoxin.
00:05:32One prick and you're done.
00:05:33So who's faster?
00:05:35Your trigger finger or my hand?
00:05:37She didn't even flinch with a gun to her head.
00:05:39The Sterlings could never raise someone like her.
00:05:41Who the hell are you?
00:05:42I'm your wife, and the only person on this planet who can cure you.
00:05:45Let's make a deal, Mr. Howard.
00:05:47I fix your legs and flush that poison out.
00:05:49In return, I get absolute power as the lady of this house.
00:05:53You want Howard power?
00:05:54Why would I give you that?
00:05:55Because right now, you can't even walk out that door without me.
00:05:59Without me, you're nothing but a bed-toman and liability.
00:06:03Fine.
00:06:04Deal.
00:06:04But if you fail or cross me, I'll break every bone in your body.
00:06:09One by one.
00:06:11Deal.
00:06:12Now lie down and let me work.
00:06:17Bone-rotting poison has seeped into every organ you've got.
00:06:20Regular antidotes won't touch it.
00:06:22I'm using gold needles to force the poison blood out of your heart measuring.
00:06:26This is going to hurt.
00:06:28Try not to scream.
00:06:29Just get on with it.
00:06:39Bone-rotting poison feels like your bone's being scraped raw.
00:06:43You held out six months without dying.
00:06:46Gotta hand it to you.
00:06:46That takes some serious willpower.
00:06:48Keep talking, Anali.
00:06:50Last one.
00:06:51Time to drain the poison.
00:06:53Phase one's done.
00:06:55I'll need to do this every night for the next two weeks.
00:06:57The Sterling's useless foster daughter couldn't do what you just did.
00:07:01So who sent you?
00:07:02The Grants or the overseas factions?
00:07:04Who I am doesn't matter.
00:07:06What matters is we want the same thing.
00:07:09You want to live and find out who did this to you.
00:07:11I need the Mrs. Howard identity to handle my own business.
00:07:16Uncle George is mad.
00:07:17Back in position.
00:07:24Please don't die.
00:07:25What am I going to do if you die?
00:07:27I'm so scared.
00:07:28Thought this one had some fight in her.
00:07:30Just another crybaby.
00:07:32Master Howard's not making it through the month.
00:07:34Time to go report to Uncle George.
00:07:40Stella, you missed your calling.
00:07:42Should have been an actress.
00:07:43Right back at you.
00:07:44Your dead man act is Oscar-worthy too.
00:07:46You want power?
00:07:47Fine.
00:07:48Here.
00:07:52This is the Howard family seal.
00:07:54Show it to anyone, and they'll obey like I'm speaking myself.
00:07:57Operatives, funds, assets.
00:07:59Use them however you need.
00:08:01Quick deal.
00:08:02I'll keep you breathing, Mr. Howard.
00:08:04Go sleep on the couch.
00:08:06You're in my way.
00:08:07Gladly.
00:08:14Mrs. Vance, this way please.
00:08:16Mind your step.
00:08:22What is that smell in here?
00:08:23Smells like death.
00:08:25Right?
00:08:26And the Howards call this a room for Master Howard?
00:08:28A janitor's closet would be better.
00:08:30Mrs. Vance, you see?
00:08:32Master Howard's not getting any better.
00:08:34Uncle George's orders.
00:08:35No point wasting good medicine on a lost cause.
00:08:39Well, well.
00:08:40Look who's playing nurse to a vegetable.
00:08:42How's life as a living widow, sister?
00:08:45If you had eyes, you'd see I'm not in the mood for you.
00:08:47Still running that mouth?
00:08:48Think being called Mrs. Howard makes you somebody?
00:08:51Look at this room.
00:08:52It's worse than a servant's quarters.
00:08:53Vivian, your poor sister, took your place just to be a living widow.
00:08:57Look at that vegetable on the bed, face all messed up.
00:09:01Makes me sick just looking at him.
00:09:04Coming into my house to run your mouth?
00:09:06You're asking for it.
00:09:07Exactly.
00:09:08Henry Howard used to be something.
00:09:10But now, he's just a dead, dead dog on a bed.
00:09:13And you, Stella, are chained to that dead dog for life.
00:09:17The Sterlings.
00:09:18They're first on my list.
00:09:21But hey, I'm a good sister.
00:09:23I had the chef whip up some top-tier ginseng soup just for you, to keep your strength up.
00:09:30Drink up, sister.
00:09:31It's my gift to you.
00:09:33Take it away.
00:09:34I don't want it.
00:09:35You have to.
00:09:36Refuse me and you're refusing the Sterlings!
00:09:38Die, you worthless bitch!
00:09:40Watch out!
00:09:45You dodged it?
00:09:46I gave you a chance.
00:09:50You hit her!
00:09:52Stella, you're insane!
00:09:54Oh, Stella!
00:09:59She's crazy!
00:10:00She's crazy!
00:10:01One more word and I'll rip your tongue out.
00:10:05Stella, you bastard!
00:10:07I'll tell mom and dad!
00:10:08I'll destroy you!
00:10:12Destroy me?
00:10:13You?
00:10:14My legs!
00:10:15It burns!
00:10:16Let go!
00:10:18It's breaking!
00:10:19Get this straight, Vivian.
00:10:20This is the Howards.
00:10:21Not some small-time family you can push around.
00:10:24You made a mess on Howard floor.
00:10:25What are you gonna do?
00:10:28Lick it insane?
00:10:30I'm a Sterling!
00:10:31You can't do this to me!
00:10:32Lick it!
00:10:32Or I'll break your other hand.
00:10:34Your claw.
00:10:35I'll lick it!
00:10:36Just let me go!
00:10:42Cold.
00:10:43Ruthless.
00:10:43That woman's got claws.
00:10:45Stella, what else are you hiding?
00:10:53Mr. Howard, with Henry out of the picture, you're carrying the whole Howard empire.
00:10:57What a trooper.
00:10:59Poor Henry.
00:11:01All I can do is hold things together until he wakes up.
00:11:04It's the least I can do for my nephew.
00:11:06But I heard the Sterling sent some country girl to be his wife.
00:11:10Hardly a good fit for the Howard name.
00:11:13Stella, why are you hiding in the corner?
00:11:15You're a Howard now.
00:11:17Come.
00:11:17Let everyone get a good look at you.
00:11:24Uncle George, my dear sister, grew up on a farm.
00:11:27She's never seen a real party in her life.
00:11:29She couldn't even afford a decent dress.
00:11:31Shows up in rags.
00:11:33How embarrassing for the Howards.
00:11:35That's the Howard's lady of the house.
00:11:37My maid dresses better.
00:11:40She's just a good luck charm.
00:11:42Don't take her seriously.
00:11:44Uncle George, you called me over.
00:11:46Was it just to show off my outfit?
00:11:48Sharp tongue.
00:11:49New brides present a gift to the elders at their first family dinner.
00:11:52Where's yours?
00:11:53I didn't bring one.
00:11:54She probably couldn't afford one.
00:11:56What could a backwater nobody impossibly have?
00:11:59Uncle George, she has zero respect for the Howard elders.
00:12:01Stella, this is unacceptable.
00:12:04The Howards have rules.
00:12:05No gift, no place.
00:12:07Pack your things and get out.
00:12:08You don't deserve to be anywhere near Henry's bed.
00:12:10Uncle George, don't be mad.
00:12:12Stella may be clueless, but as the Staling's eldest daughter, I know proper manners.
00:12:20Please accept this small gift on behalf of my clueless sister.
00:12:24Uncle George, this is an authentic Tong Dynasty painting, Oach Mountain Travels.
00:12:30I won it at auction for $20 million.
00:12:32I heard you love art.
00:12:34It's yours.
00:12:37Autumn Mountain Travels.
00:12:39That lost masterpiece.
00:12:41Miss Vanch is incredibly generous.
00:12:43$20 million just like that.
00:12:45That's real class.
00:12:47Excellent, Vivian.
00:12:48The Stirlings raised you right.
00:12:50Unlike your sister, completely worthless.
00:12:53Stella, look at your sister.
00:12:55Then look at yourself.
00:12:56You're not fit to touch her shoes.
00:12:58Guards, throw this embarrassment out.
00:13:02Hold on.
00:13:05You paid $20 million for a $200 fake from the flea market?
00:13:09Vivian, you're not just stupid.
00:13:11You're blind.
00:13:14You're lying.
00:13:16I paid $20 million for this.
00:13:17I have the certificate and everything.
00:13:19You're a nobody from nowhere.
00:13:21What do you know about art?
00:13:23Stella, how dare you insult Vivian's gift.
00:13:29Let's find out.
00:13:31What are you doing?
00:13:32Don't touch my painting.
00:13:34Oh my god.
00:13:35She's destroying a priceless masterpiece.
00:13:37Grab her.
00:13:38Break her legs.
00:13:40Open your eyes.
00:13:41Tang Dine paper is made from vine and mulberry barn.
00:13:45This?
00:13:45Modern machine pressed paper, chemically aged on the surface.
00:13:49They call it the double-layer forgery.
00:13:52Cheapest trick in the book.
00:13:54No way!
00:13:55How could an auction house sell a fake?
00:13:57You're making this up!
00:13:59She's right.
00:14:00It's a modern fake.
00:14:02I almost mistipped it myself.
00:14:04Master Quinn is the nation's top expert.
00:14:06If he says it's fake, it's fake.
00:14:09Giving a fake painting to Uncle George?
00:14:11A Sterling's daughter has some nerve.
00:14:14Even if Vivian was tricked, it's the thought that counts.
00:14:16You've got no gift, Stella.
00:14:18You're still useless.
00:14:20Who says I have nothing?
00:14:35Virtue carries the world.
00:14:37These four words are for you, Uncle George.
00:14:38Hope you can live up to them.
00:14:42Miss Bushwick.
00:14:44The wrist strength.
00:14:44The unique closing stroke.
00:14:47You're Master Ching-ya.
00:14:49Master Ching-ya?
00:14:51The legendary chilligrypher who vanished three years ago?
00:14:54His work goes for 50 million a piece, if you can even find it.
00:14:58I heard one of his pieces goes for 50 million on the black market,
00:15:01and you can't even find one for sale.
00:15:03I've studied Master Ching-ya's work for a decade.
00:15:05No one else in the world can produce this style.
00:15:08No one.
00:15:10Master Ching-ya, I never imagined you'd be so young.
00:15:13To meet you in person today, I can die a happy man.
00:15:20Uncle George, have I earned my place in this house?
00:15:28Uncle George is not going to let tonight slide.
00:15:30Not after that public humiliation.
00:15:33The whole mansion is crawling with his people.
00:15:35No way this night ends quiet.
00:15:37You've got it easy lying there.
00:15:39I'm out there taking all the hits.
00:15:41But Uncle George isn't just after me, he's after you too.
00:15:44A living Master Howard is a threat he can't afford.
00:16:00Slit the man's throat.
00:16:01Take the woman alive.
00:16:02Uncle George wants to question her personally.
00:16:04Move!
00:16:14This woman's trained.
00:16:16Screw the vegetable.
00:16:17Take her down.
00:16:18Now!
00:16:22Die!
00:16:32This guy's a pro.
00:16:33Pure strength advantage.
00:16:35I can't out-muscle him.
00:16:37You took out two of my men.
00:16:39That makes you a top-teevil fighter.
00:16:41Too bad.
00:16:43Women are born Weezer.
00:16:45Time to die for Uncle George!
00:16:46Oh!
00:16:49End of the line.
00:16:51Dying in the same bed as Washington's biggest heir?
00:16:55Count your blessings.
00:17:00What?
00:17:01You're not paralyzed?
00:17:08Uncle George's reach is getting too long.
00:17:11He should have kept his hands off my wife.
00:17:15Impossible.
00:17:17The hospital report said your brain was completely dead.
00:17:20How are you standing?
00:17:21Dead men don't need answers.
00:17:24Behind you!
00:17:31Leaving already?
00:17:36Go back and tell Uncle George.
00:17:38He better wash his neck.
00:17:39Henry Howard came back from hell to collect.
00:17:42Your skills are coming back.
00:17:44The poison must be almost gone.
00:17:51Henry!
00:17:52Henry!
00:17:52The fight sent his blood into overdrive.
00:17:55The remaining poison around his heart just exploded.
00:17:58Henry!
00:17:59Wake up!
00:17:59Stay with me!
00:18:23Unbelievable!
00:18:24Even half-dead.
00:18:25His willpower is still fighting me.
00:18:40Henry, how could this happen?
00:18:42My poor nephew.
00:18:44Uncle George, this has Stella written all out of it.
00:18:48Ever since she stepped into that house, Master Howard's health has gone straight downhill.
00:18:53She's a curse.
00:18:56Mr. Howard, the poison has reached his heart. Multiple organ failure.
00:19:00We did everything we could, I'm sorry.
00:19:02We should prepare for the worst.
00:19:05Useless excuses for doctors!
00:19:07Did you hear that, Stella? You killed him!
00:19:11Uncle George, this murderer has to pay!
00:19:13Seize her! Throw her in the river!
00:19:15Let her keep Henry Camumpany!
00:19:18I dare you.
00:19:24What are you waiting for? She's one woman! Grab her!
00:19:30You really think I don't know who sent those hitmen tonight?
00:19:34Nonsense. You murdered your husband, and now you're throwing wild accusations. Nobody's saving you tonight!
00:19:42That's right. Uncle George, don't waste time talking. Just have her beaten to dead.
00:19:48Mrs. Howard, your husband is beyond saving. Please accept reality, and don't interfere with hospital protocol.
00:19:53I'm a top specialist in cardiovascular medicine. If I say he's gone, he's gone.
00:19:59Not even God himself could be...
00:20:00Top specialist? You couldn't even cure a basic case of bone-rotting poison.
00:20:05And you have the nerve to call yourself a doctor in front of me?
00:20:13What do you think you're doing? This is a violation of...
00:20:16Shut your mouth. God himself couldn't save him, but I can.
00:20:21The poison's reached his heart.
00:20:22I need the resurrection needle to redirect the poison flow and force it out.
00:20:26One wrong move, and he's gone for good.
00:20:28But if I don't try, he's gone anyway.
00:20:34What the hell is she doing in there? This is sheer Magnus.
00:20:38She's just stalling Uncle George. A backwater nobody playing doctor. Probably making it up as she goes.
00:20:46I don't care what she's doing. Henry dies tonight. Get in there. Drag her out. If she fights back, put
00:20:51her down.
00:20:55Last needle. One more.
00:21:00Back off!
00:21:13No! This is impossible! He's alive!
00:21:16Ghost! He's a ghost!
00:21:21Who the hell are you?
00:21:23The resurrection needle?
00:21:24You're the legendary healer, S?
00:21:27Mr. Howard, you owe me a life.
00:21:34I've got one touches you.
00:21:35You just won't die, will you?
00:21:37Fine!
00:21:37Then I'll send you both to hell myself!
00:21:42Henry, you think you're untouchable?
00:21:44Tonight, there's nowhere to run.
00:21:46Open fire!
00:21:47Scared?
00:21:48That word isn't in my vocabulary.
00:22:15You're legs just healed. Poison's not fully out. We can't win this head on.
00:22:19You're legs just healed. Poison's not fully out. We can't win this head on.
00:22:19Head on.
00:22:19He's not worth it.
00:22:21What the hell is that?
00:22:26Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! I can't see!
00:22:36Master! We arrived too late! Punish us as you see fit!
00:22:39We failed you, Master! Punish us!
00:22:42George, I hope you liked my little gift.
00:22:47You... you've been awake this whole time? You faked it? And the operatives, you brought the Howard's core unit back?
00:22:55Why do you think I stayed in that bed?
00:22:57I wanted to see you show your hand.
00:22:59And you couldn't wait to take it all, could you?
00:23:02I'm your uncle! You can't kill me! The Howard's need me!
00:23:07The Howard's one Henry Howard is more than enough.
00:23:11Ah! My leg!
00:23:14Cut out his tongue. Sever his tendons. Throw him in the African mines.
00:23:19I want him alive, but I want him to beg for death every single day.
00:23:22As you wish, Master.
00:23:27Spare my life, Mr. Howard! I was kept totally in the dark!
00:23:31Henry, she's mine.
00:23:39Stella, my head's spinning, my chest's throbbing. I need my wife's special care.
00:23:47Keep up the act. You were totally fine taking bullets earlier. No dizziness back then.
00:23:59Here. Drink. Calm down. Last night was insane. Henry Howard wasn't even dead. And he took down Uncle George like
00:24:07it was nothing.
00:24:07Mom! Stella's got Henry wrapped around her finger now! She's gonna come for me! I know it! She'll kill me!
00:24:12Shh! She's still a Sterling at the end of the day. We're not nobodies. We have Pull, too.
00:24:18Pull? Henry Howard's a psycho! He crippled his own uncle! I'm dead, Mom! I'm dead!
00:24:24What? Breaking. The Grants, Washington's richest family, just put up a $10 billion reward for their daughter. Missing for 20
00:24:32years.
00:24:33This crescent-shaped white jade pendant is the only proof of identity.
00:24:37Crescent? Jade? White?
00:24:40Vivian? What's wrong?
00:24:41Mom! I've seen that thing before!
00:24:43Where?
00:24:44Stella! That little brat wears one just like it! She's had it forever, never takes it off!
00:24:48Wait. You're saying Stella's the Grants' real daughter? That can't be! She's just some stray we picked up!
00:24:58That explains everything! Why she never looked like us! Why she always acted so high and mighty!
00:25:06Mom, the Grants are Washington royalty. Richer than the Howards, more powerful. If Stella goes back to them, one word
00:25:14from her, and we're done. Squash like bugs.
00:25:17Then what do we do? Send her back and beg the Grants to go easy on us because we raised
00:25:22her?
00:25:23Send her back? Hell no. She stole my life for 15 years. Now I'm taking her.
00:25:29Vivian, you're insane!
00:25:30You're gonna pretend to be the Grants' daughter?
00:25:32If they find out, they'll tear us apart!
00:25:35As long as I have that pendant, I am the Grants' daughter. And once the Grants are behind me, what
00:25:40do I have to fear from Henry?
00:25:42I'll grind Stella into the dirt. I'll make her life a living hell.
00:26:01Mrs. Howard, come here.
00:26:05Mr. Howard, your poison's gone. Your legs work. I think it's time we talk about the divorce.
00:26:12Divorce? You've seen every inch of me. Touched every part? And you think you can just walk away?
00:26:17It was a transaction. Transaction's over.
00:26:21Transaction? In my book, Mrs. Howard, there's no divorce. Only death.
00:26:27Where's that jade pendant you always wear?
00:26:32It's gone! The pendant's gone!
00:26:36That pendant means that much to you?
00:26:39I've worn it my whole life. It's the only thing I have for my real parents.
00:26:43When did you last see it?
00:26:44This morning, when I showered. Then, Vivian came by, apologizing. I left her alone in the room while I made
00:26:52your medicine.
00:26:54Vivian. Greedy and stupid. What a combo.
00:26:59Shadow One. Find Vivian Vake. Now. Tear this city apart if you have to.
00:27:04Don't bother. I know exactly where she went.
00:27:08She's at Grant Estate. She stole my pendant. She's playing their daughter.
00:27:11What?
00:27:12My baby. My poor sweet baby. 20 years. 20 years I dreamed about this moment. I never stopped hoping. I
00:27:21never stopped praying.
00:27:22Welcome home, child. This is where you belong.
00:27:25From now on, you're a Grant. And anyone in Washington who even looks at you wrong answers to me.
00:27:33Vivian. You want someone famous? I'll make them a star.
00:27:36You want someone gone? I'll make sure they never work in this town again.
00:27:40My concert tomorrow? Your front row. VIP everything.
00:27:45Anyone makes you cry, they won't be making anyone cry ever again.
00:27:48I know a lot of ways to make that happen.
00:27:50Someone messes with my sister? I'll drive straight through their front door. I don't care who they are.
00:27:54Mom. Dad. Brothers.
00:27:56Brothers. I can't believe this is real. I've dreamed of having a family like this my whole life.
00:28:02See that, Stella? Your real parents, your real brothers, all mine. And your pathetic husband? He's nothing next to the
00:28:08Grants.
00:28:12But what's wrong, Vivian? Are you okay?
00:28:14The Steelings had a foster daughter, Stella. She was always jealous of me, always bullying me. Now she's married into
00:28:21the Howards. With their power, she's pushing me to the edge.
00:28:25A foster daughter dares to bully my daughter? The Howards? Henry Howard's a crack cripple? He thinks he can step
00:28:32on the Grants?
00:28:32The Grants are bidding on that Southland deal. I'll make sure they pay for crossing our sister.
00:28:36I'm going to Howard Estate right now. I'll drag that Stella bitch here and make her kneel!
00:28:42Dan, don't. She was raised by the Sterlings. If she apologizes and leaves Henry, I'll let it go.
00:28:49You're too kind, sweetie. That's why they bully you. Don't worry. Your father and brothers will handle it.
00:28:57Mr. Howard, bad news. Grant Group just cut all our joint projects. No warning. And that Southland? They're throwing everything
00:29:04to take it from us.
00:29:05Plus, all Grant-affiliated banks froze our credit. Our cash flow is crashing. They've gone crazy.
00:29:10Mr. Howard, word is, Mrs. Howard offended their new daughter.
00:29:16Say that again.
00:29:18Mr. Howard, please. That's all everyone's talking about. The Grants said, hand over Mrs. Howard, divorce her, and they'll back
00:29:24off.
00:29:25Hand over my wife? Victor Grant's lost his mind. He thinks I'm a pushover? Activate the emergency fund. Now.
00:29:34The Grants want a war? They'll get one. And anyone who suggests handing over my wife, throw them off this
00:29:39building.
00:29:40Yes, Mr. Howard.
00:29:46Henry, the Grants are Washington's top dogs. Loaded, connected, and they don't mess around.
00:29:51You just took over the Howards. You're still finding your footing. Pick a fight with them now. They'll eat you
00:29:57alive.
00:29:57So?
00:29:58For a marriage of convenience? Not worth the hit. Hand me over. I'll deal with Vivian myself.
00:30:20Stella. Do you even have a heart? I don't care if I have to turn this whole city upside down.
00:30:26I will protect you.
00:30:28You're mine. And you want me to hand you over? What do you take me for?
00:30:33I just don't want to be in your debt any more than I already am.
00:30:37You owe me more than you could ever pay back. And you're going to spend the rest of your life
00:30:41making up for it. Right here. With me.
00:30:45Vivian wants to play games? Fine. Let's go big. The Grants are throwing a welcome party for their daughter. I
00:30:51say we crash it.
00:30:53Mr. Grant, congratulations. Your daughter is clearly a born star. Class runs in the blood.
00:31:00Thank you. Thank you. Tonight we're not just celebrating my daughter's return. I also have an announcement.
00:31:07From this moment on, the Grant family is officially at war with Howard Group.
00:31:12Anyone who does this with them does business against us.
00:31:17Stella, let's see you talk your way out of this one.
00:31:21Mr. Grant. Big talk for a man who's about to be the laughing stock of Washington.
00:31:27Especially since the daughter you've been protecting is a fake.
00:31:36Henry Howard. You show up at my estate with this woman? You think I'm scared to take you on?
00:31:42Relax, Mr. Grant. My wife said there'd be a good show here tonight. I'm just here to watch.
00:31:48Stella! You shameless bitch! How dare you show your face here? Security! Throw them out!
00:31:56So you're the one who's been bullying my sister? Showing up at the Grants' place running your mouth? You got
00:32:02a death wish or what?
00:32:05This is how the Grants raise their kids? Throwing punches without knowing the facts?
00:32:10Dan! Are you okay? Stella! How dare you lay a hand on my son!
00:32:15Mr. Howard. Looks like you're dead set on starting a war with the Grants over this woman.
00:32:21War? You want war? You got it.
00:32:24Security! Seize both of them! Now!
00:32:29You're done, Stella.
00:32:31Dad! Have them cut her face up! Let's see her charm anyone after that!
00:32:36Vivian, you look pathetic when you're this desperate.
00:32:39Mr. Grant, you're going to war over a fake? You sure your real daughter won't take that personally?
00:32:45Nonsense! Vivian has as our family pendant! The DNA test was crystal clear! She's my daughter!
00:32:51DNA test, pay enough, and even a dog could pass as your kid.
00:32:55You're lying! I've had this pendant since I was a kid!
00:32:58You're just jealous I made it back to the Grants!
00:33:00Since you were a kid? Then tell me, Vivian, in front of everyone, what's engraved on the back?
00:33:06The word star. It was all over the news. That's the front. I asked about the back.
00:33:16Mom! She's trying to trap me! I've worn it my whole life! Who pays attention to the back?
00:33:21Stella, that's enough! This pendant is a Grant family heirloom. The back is smooth, nothing engraved on it at all!
00:33:28Stop playing games!
00:33:29Mrs. Grant, you sure about that?
00:33:32Stella, what exactly are you trying to pull here?
00:33:36What am I trying to pull? I'm here to teach Mr. Grant how to tell the difference between his real
00:33:41daughter and a fake.
00:33:49No way. She stole that pendant?
00:33:53She got some nerve. Stealing a family heirloom to impersonate a billionaire's daughter?
00:33:58What? What is this?
00:34:00Dad! It's fake! Stella made that video! She's a hacker! She's good at this stuff! Dad, you have to believe
00:34:07me!
00:34:07The quality and timestamp on that footage, it does look doctored.
00:34:11Doctored? Fine.
00:34:14This is Vivian and Mr. Grant's actual DNA test results.
00:34:18Match rate? 0.01%.
00:34:22You lied to me!
00:34:24No! No, I didn't! Mom, please! I'm Vivian, you know me!
00:34:29If she's a fake, then who does the real pendant belong to?
00:34:38Since you don't know what's on the back, let me show you.
00:34:42On the back, carved in tiny micro-engraving, is Mrs. Grant's name, Juan.
00:34:47That's really it. I had that pendant made myself by a master craftsman.
00:34:51No one knew about it except me and Victor.
00:34:54You're my daughter?
00:34:55My child! My poor child! You've suffered so much!
00:35:00Mrs. Grant, don't.
00:35:01Stella, I'm your mother!
00:35:03Stella, I was blind. I took in a fraud. I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
00:35:09Sis, I'm such an idiot! I almost went after you earlier!
00:35:13Go ahead, hit me. I won't even move.
00:35:15Stella, come home. My company? It's yours. All of it.
00:35:21Stella! So what if you're the real daughter?
00:35:23You grew up eating scraps in the sticks.
00:35:26You're trash, plain and simple. You don't belong with the Grant.
00:35:30Shut your damn mouth!
00:35:36Go home? Which home?
00:35:39The one that was ready to break my legs and destroy my husband's company?
00:35:43All for some phony you just met?
00:35:46Stella, we didn't know it was you. She tricked us.
00:35:49So because you didn't know, that makes it okay?
00:35:51Because you didn't know you get to act like judge, jury, and executioner?
00:35:56If I didn't have the proof today, if I were just some random girl from nowhere, would I be at
00:36:01the bottom of a river right now?
00:36:04You know what? Your family's too rich for my blood. I can't afford you. Here's your pendant back.
00:36:11From this day on, Stella Sterling and the Grants are strangers.
00:36:14No ties. No looking back. Ever.
00:36:18Mr. Howard. Show's over. Let's go home.
00:36:21Yeah. Let's go home, Mrs. Howard.
00:36:29You okay?
00:36:30Yeah. Just kind of pathetic, isn't it?
00:36:34Twenty years I waited for that family. Turns out it all crumbles the second Money and Lies got involved.
00:36:46You don't need them. You've got me.
00:36:48Mr. Howard. You're taking this role too seriously. It was always just a deal.
00:36:52Your poison's gone. The Howards are back in your hands. My mess is cleaned up too.
00:36:57Henry, it's time we end this.
00:37:10Over. Stella, you've got my heart. And now you want to call it quits?
00:37:13Henry, you've lost it.
00:37:17Yeah, I have. Ever since you put that gun to my head.
00:37:20I don't want a contract, Stella. I want you. I want you to be my wife. For real.
00:37:25I can't. I still have my own score to settle. I can't drag him into this.
00:37:30Henry, stop. We're from two different worlds.
00:37:41I don't care what world you're from. If you're going down, I'm going with you.
00:37:56Looks like Mr. Howard has somewhere more important to be.
00:38:00Don't let me keep you.
00:38:16Not going to answer? Afraid I might hear something I shouldn't?
00:38:26Henry, please. It hurts so much. The doctor said I don't have much time.
00:38:31Rose, stay calm. I'll send the hospital director over right now.
00:38:35No, I don't want anyone else. I only want you.
00:38:38Henry, I took that bullet for you back then. You're all I have in this world.
00:38:42Please come see me one last time.
00:38:44I'll be there.
00:38:47Stella, five years ago in South Africa, she took a bullet meant for me.
00:38:51I owe her. I have to go. I'll be back.
00:38:57Mr. Howard, you don't owe me an explanation.
00:38:59She saved your life. You go do what you gotta do.
00:39:02Stella, wait for me.
00:39:10South Africa, five years ago? Funny.
00:39:14The dark web had a hit out on that exact same job back then.
00:39:17Rose Church.
00:39:19Let's see if you're really the saint you pretend to be or just a snake in sheep's clothing.
00:39:26Henry, are you sure about this?
00:39:28Won't Mrs. Howard mind?
00:39:30The hospital's too exposed. You're safer here.
00:39:35Wow. What a touching scene.
00:39:37So what's the plan, Mr. Howard?
00:39:42Setting up your mistress on the side or you want me to step aside?
00:39:46Henry, is that Mrs. Howard? I think she's upset. Maybe I should just leave-
00:39:50Stella, don't. Rose's condition is unstable. She needs rest.
00:39:54Rest? From where I'm standing, she looks ready to move in and take over.
00:39:59Mrs. Howard, Miss Church saved Master Howard's life.
00:40:03You could at least show a little grace.
00:40:04Did I ask for your opinion?
00:40:09Ah! Henry! She-she hit someone!
00:40:12Stella! That's enough!
00:40:14What's the matter? Feeling protective?
00:40:16Let me make this clear, Henry.
00:40:18Keep your savior out of my way.
00:40:20I hit servants.
00:40:22And I'll hit her, too.
00:40:26Rose Church.
00:40:27You want to come at me?
00:40:29Fine. I'm stripping you back.
00:40:32Just as I figured.
00:40:35And you teamed up with George the Dew Henry and such you well on the saint.
00:40:39Henry, all that genius.
00:40:42And you've been played by this woman for woove years.
00:40:48Wait.
00:40:49My period's two weeks late.
00:40:51Could I be-
00:40:52You really think Henry would ever fall for a nobody like you?
00:40:55Move.
00:40:56You think you've won?
00:40:58Henry's been in my room every night.
00:41:01He told me you're just a placeholder.
00:41:03Once I'm better, he's divorcing you and marrying me.
00:41:06Oh, really?
00:41:08Then what do you think he'll do when Anthony throws like he finds out you staged that shooting in Safrica
00:41:13five years ago?
00:41:14And that you helped poison him?
00:41:16You investigated me?
00:41:18I've got everything on this drive.
00:41:20Every last bit.
00:41:21I'm taking it to him right now.
00:41:28Mrs. Howard!
00:41:30Please don't throw me out!
00:41:31I swear I'm not trying to come between you and Henry!
00:41:34Get off!
00:41:34Fuck!
00:41:37Rose!
00:41:42Henry, don't blame her.
00:41:44It was my fault.
00:41:46I slipped.
00:41:48Stella, what the hell were you thinking?
00:41:50I said I didn't push her.
00:41:52She fell on her own.
00:41:53You believe me or not?
00:41:54I saw you push her with my own eyes.
00:41:56She's got a weak lung from that old injury.
00:41:59Do you have any idea what you just did?
00:42:02Lock Mrs. Howard in her room.
00:42:03No one lets her out without my say-off.
00:42:06Henry, you won't even look at what's on this drive?
00:42:09Stella, I'm so disappointed in you.
00:42:11If anything happening comes to Rose, I won't go easy on you.
00:42:15Mrs. Howard, this way.
00:42:17What a joke.
00:42:18You actually thought you were special to him.
00:42:20Turns out you were just a distraction.
00:42:22Henry Howard, we're done.
00:42:27Rose set me up with her own life.
00:42:29That means she's got serious backing.
00:42:32The Howards aren't safe anymore.
00:42:33I have to get out.
00:42:34Now.
00:42:43Got company.
00:42:45Rose, you really want me dead that bad?
00:42:51Brakes are dead?
00:42:52Shadow One, track Mrs. Howard's car now!
00:42:55Master, she's on cliffside drive, speeding.
00:42:58And there are two trucks running her off the road.
00:43:03Stella, hold on!
00:43:08No!
00:43:09Stella!
00:43:10Stella!
00:43:11Stella!
00:43:13Stella!
00:43:14Stella!
00:43:14Stella!
00:43:17Stella!
00:43:17Stella!
00:43:18Master, there's been an explosion down there.
00:43:23We can't get down.
00:43:24Get the hell off me!
00:43:25Let go!
00:43:26Stella's down there.
00:43:28I have to save her.
00:43:40Master, the explosion triggered a landslide.
00:43:44We can't go down there.
00:43:45It's suicide.
00:43:46We've already sent a rescue team around the back.
00:43:48Please, get back in the car.
00:43:49Get off me!
00:43:50I don't care!
00:43:52Alive or dead, I'm finding her!
00:43:55If Stella is gone, none of you are walking away from this!
00:43:59Mr. Howard, please!
00:44:00We were just paid to do a job!
00:44:02Someone gave us a ton of money to run her off the road!
00:44:06Who?
00:44:07Talk!
00:44:08A woman named Church!
00:44:10She said make sure the woman in that car never comes out alive,
00:44:12and there'd be more waiting!
00:44:13By now, that little bitch Stella should be nothing but ash.
00:44:17Finally.
00:44:18Once she's gone, Henry will only have eyes for me.
00:44:21That Mrs. Howard title?
00:44:23It's mine.
00:44:24Ah!
00:44:26What happened to you?
00:44:27You're soaked.
00:44:28Come here.
00:44:28Let me get you out of these wet clothes.
00:44:33Henry.
00:44:35You hit me?
00:44:37I'm Rose!
00:44:38The one who saved your life!
00:44:40Saved my life?
00:44:41That shooting in South Africa five years ago,
00:44:43you hired those men yourself.
00:44:44And the poison in my system?
00:44:46You and Uncle George cooked that up together.
00:44:49Rose Church, you've been hiding behind that act real well.
00:44:55Henry, listen to me!
00:44:57Someone's setting me up!
00:44:59That bitch Stella faked all of it!
00:45:02The truck's on Cliffside Drive.
00:45:05That was you too.
00:45:08You know Stella was pregnant?
00:45:10She was carrying my child,
00:45:12and you sent her off that cliff.
00:45:15Yes!
00:45:16I did it!
00:45:17That bitch deserved her to die!
00:45:19I've been by your side for years!
00:45:22And you fell for a piece of trash like her?
00:45:24She's gone!
00:45:26There's nothing left of her to bury!
00:45:28Shadow One.
00:45:29Master.
00:45:29Break every bone in her body,
00:45:31and keep her conscious the whole time,
00:45:33then throw her in the filthiest brothel in Washington,
00:45:35and no one, no one,
00:45:36lets her die.
00:45:37Ever.
00:45:39Mrs. Church.
00:45:40The Master sent this for you.
00:45:43Eat up.
00:45:43You've got a long night ahead,
00:45:45a dozen homeless men waiting to keep you company.
00:45:47Kill me!
00:45:48Please just kill me!
00:45:49Henry Howard is a monster!
00:45:51A monster!
00:45:57Mr. Howard,
00:45:58the Stellar Group video conference is in half an hour.
00:45:59They're a big deal.
00:46:00Every major family in Riley in Washington
00:46:01is fighting for this partnership.
00:46:03Send the VP.
00:46:04Get out.
00:46:04Sir,
00:46:05Stellar Group specifically asked for you.
00:46:08Also,
00:46:08the search team just found a female skeleton
00:46:10downstream from where the car went off the cliff five years ago.
00:46:15Five years.
00:46:17Where?
00:46:18Get the car now!
00:46:19We're going to Forensic Institute!
00:46:22Mommy,
00:46:23this is Washington?
00:46:24The air doesn't even smell as good as back home on Star Island.
00:46:29Yeah,
00:46:30the air's not great,
00:46:31baby.
00:46:32But there's some unfinished business here from five years ago.
00:46:35Mommy,
00:46:36I already pulled up the balance sheets for every major corporation in Washington.
00:46:40Just tell me which one you want me to bankrupt tonight.
00:46:44Easy,
00:46:44baby.
00:46:45A good hunt takes time.
00:46:47Let's get to the hotel first.
00:46:52Boss,
00:46:53the video call with Howard Group is in ten minutes.
00:46:55But Henry Howard just bailed.
00:46:57He went to the Forensic Institute instead.
00:47:00Forensic Institute?
00:47:02What is he playing at now?
00:47:04For five years.
00:47:06That man's been like a ghost.
00:47:09He drags the waters below that cliff every single year.
00:47:12The whole city knows.
00:47:14His heart died with his wife.
00:47:16His heart?
00:47:21Five years ago,
00:47:22he believed Rose over me,
00:47:23locked me up,
00:47:24and nearly killed me and my baby.
00:47:27Who's he putting on this show for?
00:47:30Cancel everything with Howard Group?
00:47:33If Henry Howard can't even show up,
00:47:35Stellar Group has no business with him.
00:47:37Permanently.
00:47:42Who's that guy who looks exactly like you?
00:47:45That's Henry Howard,
00:47:46the deadbeat who almost got Mommy killed five years ago.
00:47:49What?
00:47:50That's the jerk who hurt Mommy?
00:47:52I'm gonna punch his face in.
00:47:54Violence is for amateurs.
00:47:56The best revenge?
00:47:58Crush his pride.
00:48:00Ooh, what's the plan?
00:48:01He's obsessed with his precious Howard Group, right?
00:48:05Today's their annual global summit.
00:48:08I'm gonna drop him a little welcome gift.
00:48:12Mr. Howard,
00:48:13DNA results are back.
00:48:15The remains belong to a drowned fisherman.
00:48:17No match to your wife.
00:48:19It's not her.
00:48:21She's still out there.
00:48:22I know it.
00:48:23Mr. Howard!
00:48:24Bad news.
00:48:26Stellar Group just blacklisted us because you didn't show.
00:48:28And...
00:48:29our whole network work is down.
00:48:32We've been hacked.
00:48:37What's happening?
00:48:38This isn't a glitch.
00:48:39Someone's taken over our entire system.
00:48:40Our firewall is gone.
00:48:45IT, trace that IP and shut it down now.
00:48:49I can't.
00:48:50They locked us out remotely.
00:48:51And the way they're routing through servers,
00:48:53I've never seen anything like it.
00:49:01Stella, that's you, isn't it?
00:49:03You're alive.
00:49:05Hmph.
00:49:05Not bad.
00:49:06He cracked my first firewall.
00:49:08But tracing my IP?
00:49:10Try again in 10 years.
00:49:13Mr. Howard,
00:49:14don't bother tracing me.
00:49:16You couldn't even protect your own woman.
00:49:18You don't deserve to call yourself
00:49:21Washington's top doc.
00:49:23This is just a warning.
00:49:25Get ready to lose everything.
00:49:27That's not the hacker god everyone talks about.
00:49:30The style's similar,
00:49:32but the attack path is way more reckless.
00:49:34Whoever did this,
00:49:35they're connected to Stella.
00:49:37I know it.
00:49:38Shut down every airport,
00:49:40every train station,
00:49:41every road out of this city.
00:49:42I want everyone from Stellar Group checked.
00:49:45And I want to see their chairman.
00:49:48Now.
00:49:52Mr. Howard,
00:49:53this is private property.
00:49:55One more step and we'll call the police.
00:49:57And Stellar Group will treat this
00:49:59as an act of war.
00:50:00Get out of my way.
00:50:01I'm here for your chairman.
00:50:03She's not seeing anyone.
00:50:05Break it down.
00:50:16Stella.
00:50:19Stella, I knew you were alive.
00:50:22You cruel woman.
00:50:23How dare you hide from me for five years?
00:50:26Mr. Howard,
00:50:27quite the entrance.
00:50:28Busting into my headquarters,
00:50:30is this how Washington's top bald says hello?
00:50:36Stella, it's really you.
00:50:38It's really you.
00:50:38You're alive.
00:50:39Thank God you're alive.
00:50:41Mr. Howard,
00:50:42you're hurting me.
00:50:45Stella,
00:50:45I'm sorry.
00:50:46Five years ago,
00:50:47I was blind.
00:50:48I was an idiot.
00:50:49Hit me,
00:50:50yell at me,
00:50:50do whatever you want.
00:50:51Just don't look at me like that.
00:50:56Mr. Howard,
00:50:58you've got the wrong person.
00:51:00What are you talking about?
00:51:04I'm the founder and chairwoman of Stellar Group.
00:51:06The Stella you sent off that cliff,
00:51:08she died five years ago.
00:51:09No.
00:51:10I'd know you anywhere.
00:51:12Even burn to ash.
00:51:13You're Stella.
00:51:14My wife.
00:51:16Your wife?
00:51:17Funny how you forget,
00:51:19Mr. Howard.
00:51:19You locked me up for your savior
00:51:21while I was the one being hunted.
00:51:24And you?
00:51:25You were at her bedside.
00:51:27Remember?
00:51:28I know now.
00:51:30Rose is gone.
00:51:31I made sure of it.
00:51:32Stella,
00:51:33if you want my life,
00:51:34take it.
00:51:35It's yours.
00:51:40Your life?
00:51:41Worthless to me.
00:51:42The Grants announced my death five years ago.
00:51:44Stella Sterling doesn't exist anymore.
00:51:47I'm here to buy out Howard Group.
00:51:49Done.
00:51:49Take it all.
00:51:51Just stay.
00:51:54Anna,
00:51:55show him out.
00:51:56If Mr. Howard bothers me again,
00:51:58hit him with a level two financial strike.
00:52:00Mr. Howard,
00:52:01this way.
00:52:02Stella,
00:52:03I'm not giving up.
00:52:04You're mine.
00:52:05You always have been.
00:52:09Lucas said that deadbeat dad
00:52:11is here to see mommy.
00:52:12Time to get even.
00:52:15There he is.
00:52:17Take this, scumbag.
00:52:23Ah!
00:52:24We're under attack!
00:52:26Protect Mr. Howard!
00:52:28Grab her.
00:52:31Let me go!
00:52:32You're all a bunch of henchmen!
00:52:33Put me down!
00:52:35Mr. Howard,
00:52:36it's,
00:52:37it's a little girl.
00:52:42Her eyes,
00:52:43her nose,
00:52:44her mouth,
00:52:44she's the spitting image of Stella.
00:52:46But those eyes,
00:52:47that wild,
00:52:49defiant look,
00:52:50that's mine.
00:52:51What are you staring at,
00:52:53deadbeat dad?
00:52:54You got lucky today.
00:52:55Next time I'm aiming for your head.
00:52:58Hey,
00:52:59sweetheart,
00:53:01what's your name?
00:53:02Is your mommy Stella?
00:53:04My mommy doesn't know you.
00:53:06Back off.
00:53:07My brother says being near you is bad luck.
00:53:10Brother?
00:53:11You have a brother?
00:53:13Luna,
00:53:14come here.
00:53:16That boy,
00:53:17he's my spitting image.
00:53:18Is he?
00:53:19Are they?
00:53:20Lucas,
00:53:20I almost got him!
00:53:22Mr. Howard,
00:53:23picking on a four-year-old girl,
00:53:24that's your move?
00:53:25Four and a half,
00:53:26five years ago,
00:53:27you're my kids.
00:53:28Stella didn't lose the baby,
00:53:30she had you both!
00:53:38Well,
00:53:38well,
00:53:39if it isn't the country brumpin'
00:53:41the Howards kicked out,
00:53:42new name,
00:53:42new company,
00:53:43think that makes you queen of the world?
00:53:44Security,
00:53:45who let the stray dog in?
00:53:47Who are you calling a dog?
00:53:48Think you're all that,
00:53:49Stella?
00:53:49Everyone knows you schemed your way into the Howards,
00:53:52and with Mr. Howard right there?
00:53:54Don't even pretend you're not here for him!
00:53:59Ah!
00:54:00Mr. Howard,
00:54:01it hurts!
00:54:04Which hand?
00:54:05I'll break it.
00:54:07Henry,
00:54:07what are you doing?
00:54:09Let me make this clear,
00:54:11Stella is my wife,
00:54:12the only one.
00:54:13Anyone disrespects her declares war on the Howards,
00:54:16and we don't forgive.
00:54:17We finish.
00:54:18Mr. Howard,
00:54:19spare me the act,
00:54:20I don't need your help.
00:54:29Henry!
00:54:29What the hell are you doing?
00:54:30Let go of me!
00:54:32I saw them today,
00:54:34Stella.
00:54:36You...
00:54:37A boy.
00:54:38A girl.
00:54:39He's got my face.
00:54:41She's got yours.
00:54:43You had my children,
00:54:45and you're gonna stand there,
00:54:47and tell me you feel nothing?
00:54:52You've got quite an imagination.
00:54:54I can have any man I want.
00:54:56Those kids?
00:54:57I had them overseas,
00:54:59with someone else.
00:55:00Nothing to do with you.
00:55:01Bullshit.
00:55:02That boy's got my eyes,
00:55:04that girl's got my fire.
00:55:05They're mine.
00:55:07So what if they are?
00:55:09Five years ago,
00:55:10their father died in that storm.
00:55:14Stay away from me.
00:55:15Stay away from my kids.
00:55:17Or else Howard Group is done in this city.
00:55:21Same move.
00:55:22Same everything.
00:55:24You can deny it all you want, Stella.
00:55:27You're alive.
00:55:29We have kids.
00:55:31I don't care if it costs me my last breath.
00:55:34I'm bringing you back.
00:55:37Mommy got harassed by that jerk again.
00:55:40He didn't fight back when she need him.
00:55:42Not even a little.
00:55:43He deserved it.
00:55:44Let's get him tomorrow.
00:55:46Show him who he's messing with.
00:55:47I'm not going to rough him up.
00:55:48Too easy.
00:55:49I'm going to get inside his head.
00:55:52Make him growl at mommy's feet.
00:55:59That land's been on our radar for a long time.
00:56:02Stellar Group just got here.
00:56:03Don't bite off more than you can chew.
00:56:06It's about capital,
00:56:07not barking from the back row.
00:56:09You!
00:56:11Washington Development Zone.
00:56:13Opening bid.
00:56:14Five billion.
00:56:15Minimum increments.
00:56:16One hundred million.
00:56:18Bidding starts now.
00:56:19Five point five billion.
00:56:20Five point five billion.
00:56:21Six billion.
00:56:23Eight billion.
00:56:24Two billion just like that?
00:56:26Must be nice to have that kind of money.
00:56:29Ten billion.
00:56:31Mr. Howard,
00:56:32you're just throwing money away to spite me?
00:56:34I wanted this land five years ago
00:56:36to build a theme park for you.
00:56:38Still do.
00:56:39Call it a gift for the kids.
00:56:41Ten point one billion.
00:56:43Ten point one billion from Stella.
00:56:45Any higher.
00:56:46Save your romantic gestures, Henry.
00:56:49You think I actually care about this piece of dirt?
00:56:53Read it and weep.
00:56:54I already bought out every commercial zone around it.
00:56:57All the transit hopes.
00:56:59Even the utility rights.
00:57:01You win that land?
00:57:03You can't lay a single brick without my say off.
00:57:06And I don't need anyone giving me anything.
00:57:08Five years ago,
00:57:09she was a kitten hiding her claws.
00:57:12Now,
00:57:12a total beast.
00:57:14God,
00:57:15I love it.
00:57:18Clumsy.
00:57:19Gotta be Lucas.
00:57:20What are you muttering about?
00:57:22Nothing.
00:57:22Just something good.
00:57:27I'm here.
00:57:28Where are you?
00:57:29Mr. Howard,
00:57:30welcome to Deadbeat Dad Boot Camp.
00:57:32Three rounds to see us.
00:57:33Round one,
00:57:34you're getting soaked.
00:57:39Fine.
00:57:40I'll take it.
00:57:42What's next?
00:57:43Round two,
00:57:43Rainbow Shower.
00:57:49Lucas.
00:57:51Luna.
00:57:55I'm sorry.
00:57:55I failed you.
00:57:57I failed your mom.
00:57:58Hit me.
00:57:59Hate me.
00:57:59Take my life.
00:58:00I don't care.
00:58:01Just,
00:58:02please call me dad.
00:58:04Why is he crying?
00:58:06He looks so sad.
00:58:08Don't fall for it.
00:58:09Mom cried a thousand times more than that five years ago.
00:58:13You think getting on your knees fixes anything?
00:58:16Dream on.
00:58:17We're here to warn you.
00:58:19Stay away from our mom.
00:58:27Henry Howard.
00:58:29Didn't see this coming,
00:58:30did you?
00:58:30Uncle George's men pulled me out of that hell hole.
00:58:33So these are Stella's Brits?
00:58:35Cute.
00:58:36Too bad I'm going to tear them apart.
00:58:38Rose!
00:58:39Touch them,
00:58:40and you'll beg me to kill you.
00:58:41I've been begging for death every single day.
00:58:44I've got nothing left to lose.
00:58:46Open fire.
00:58:47Kill those two little bastards.
00:58:54Nobody touches my kids.
00:58:56Stella,
00:58:57you're still alive.
00:58:59Die!
00:59:03Luca!
00:59:03Luna!
00:59:06You...
00:59:06You didn't have to do that.
00:59:08You're supposed to be the bad guy.
00:59:15Stella,
00:59:16don't cry.
00:59:17Five years ago,
00:59:18I couldn't protect you.
00:59:19But today,
00:59:20I finally protected our family.
00:59:23Henry!
00:59:24Henry,
00:59:24wake up!
00:59:25Don't you dare die!
00:59:26You still owe me!
00:59:27Henry!
00:59:29Is that bad guy...
00:59:31I mean,
00:59:31is dad gonna die?
00:59:33No.
00:59:34He's too stubborn to die.
00:59:36I won't let him.
00:59:37Stella,
00:59:38I'm here.
00:59:38I've got the best people on it.
00:59:40He's not dying on my watch.
00:59:44That rose bitch is dead,
00:59:46and she got off easy!
00:59:47As for George Howard's men,
00:59:48I'm wiping them out tonight!
00:59:53Stella,
00:59:54Henry stepped up today.
00:59:56He earned his stripes.
00:59:57If he makes it,
00:59:58the Grants accept him.
01:00:00Damn.
01:00:01One bullet's two millimeters from his heart.
01:00:03Pull it.
01:00:03He bleeds out.
01:00:04Survival rate,
01:00:05under 10%.
01:00:07Let me.
01:00:09Stella,
01:00:10you're not in any shape.
01:00:12Your hands are shaking.
01:00:14Chris,
01:00:15I'm the legendary healer S.
01:00:17Nobody beats me at cheating death.
01:00:19Henry Howard,
01:00:20you owe me five years.
01:00:22You owe your kids five years of a father.
01:00:24You think dying gets you off the hook?
01:00:27Not a chance.
01:00:36Stella,
01:00:37Stella.
01:00:38You idiot!
01:00:39Who told you to take that?
01:00:40You think dying would make me forgive you?
01:00:44I'm not going anywhere.
01:00:45How could I?
01:00:46I owe you a lifetime,
01:00:47and I plan to give you every bit of it.
01:00:51Henry Howard,
01:00:52you're such an asshole.
01:01:15Uncle Bad,
01:01:17you're awake!
01:01:18Still calling me Uncle?
01:01:19Hmm,
01:01:20fine.
01:01:20You did take that bullet for me.
01:01:21I guess I can give you a trial run.
01:01:23Mr. Howard,
01:01:24my mommy saved your life.
01:01:25You now owe Stellar Group one life.
01:01:27How are you settling that?
01:01:28How about,
01:01:29I hand over the whole Howard group,
01:01:31plus myself.
01:01:32That enough?
01:01:34Barely.
01:01:34But if you ever make mommy cry again,
01:01:36I'll drain your accounts.
01:01:38You'll have nothing left.
01:01:39Deal.
01:01:40You've got my word.
01:01:49Mr. Howard,
01:01:51Miss Sterling,
01:01:52is this remarriage a sign
01:01:53that Howard Group and Stellar Group
01:01:54are merging?
01:01:55Miss Sterling,
01:01:55you were presumed dead five years ago.
01:01:57How does it feel to have your love rekindled?
01:01:59Just one man giving everything to his wife.
01:02:01As of today,
01:02:02every share of Howard Group
01:02:03belongs to Stellar Sterling.
01:02:05And me,
01:02:06I'm proud to be her employee.
01:02:10Correction.
01:02:11Not work.
01:02:12Lifetime contract.
01:02:13Fine.
01:02:14He gave up everything.
01:02:15Otherwise,
01:02:15I'd have taken her myself.
01:02:17If he ever hurts Stellar,
01:02:18he'll find out
01:02:19what a media empire can do to a man.
01:02:30You spent a month
01:02:31on this acquisition plan?
01:02:32It's full of holes.
01:02:34Stellar Group doesn't pay
01:02:35for sloppy work.
01:02:36Redo-
01:02:36Yes, Mrs. Sterling.
01:02:37We'll fix it right away.
01:02:40Honey,
01:02:40you've been at it for two hours.
01:02:42Have some milk.
01:02:44Don't let these morons stress you out.
01:02:46Mr. Howard,
01:02:47I'm at work.
01:02:48Can you not?
01:02:49The king of Washington now?
01:02:51He's just the coffee boy.
01:02:53This is way too much PDA for me.
01:02:55You're my life secretary,
01:02:56not my babysitter.
01:02:57I'm trying to run a company here.
01:03:00I signed a lifetime contract.
01:03:02Taking care of my boss
01:03:03is my top priority.
01:03:04Here,
01:03:05your favorite moose
01:03:06from that French place?
01:03:07Waited half an hour in line.
01:03:14All right,
01:03:14fine.
01:03:15Meeting's over.
01:03:15Plans on my desk
01:03:16by 8 a.m. tomorrow.
01:03:17Yes,
01:03:17Mrs. Sterling.
01:03:19Mrs. Sterling.
01:03:38Now that the coast is clear, ready for dessert, boss?
01:03:44Henry, keep crashing my meetings, and I'll have no authority left.
01:03:54You're the queen out there. Me? I'm your right-hand man.
01:03:58Anyone questions your authority, I'll make them disappear.
01:04:08Henry Howard! You've gone too far! Stella hasn't come home for dinner in weeks!
01:04:12You think the Grants are a joke?
01:04:14Dan, I've got three acquisitions on my plate. I can't...
01:04:17Stella, don't cover for him. Mr. Howard, you gave her your company, but that doesn't mean you keep her on
01:04:22a leash 24-7.
01:04:24Mom and Dad have been asking about her every day. She's coming with us. That's final.
01:04:31Stella runs a massive corporation. She needs rest, not drama. I'll bring her to see your parents this weekend, not
01:04:36today.
01:04:37Bull! You're glued to her side every second! Even her meetings! You show up with milk! I'm taking my sister
01:04:44home, and you're not stopping me!
01:04:45Danny! Dan, back off.
01:04:53Would you all just...
01:04:56Stella? Stella, I didn't even touch you! What's wrong?
01:04:59Don't just stand there! Call Grant Medical! Full gear! Now!
01:05:02Stella, what's wrong? Where does it hurt? Don't scare me like this!
01:05:05My stomach... I feel sick...
01:05:08Out of my way! Your team's too slow! We're going to Howard Private Hospital! Move! Now!
01:05:18Is Mommy sick? She'll be fine. Don't worry.
01:05:21Congratulations, Mr. Howard. Mrs. Howard isn't sick. She's pregnant six weeks along.
01:05:26What did you say?
01:05:27You're going to be a father again, Mr. Howard. And it's twins.
01:05:33Stella, thank you.
01:05:34Mr. Howard, there goes your tough guy reputation.
01:05:38Yes! I'm going to be an uncle! These two kids are taking the grant name!
01:05:42In your dreams. She's my wife. She carried them for me.
01:05:45Mr. Howard, remember? You're just staff now. You don't name anything.
01:05:53Meet my little brother and sister. Anyone messes with them, I'll set the dogs on them.
01:05:58No need for dogs. I'll just bankrupt their whole family business.
01:06:10What are you looking at, honey?
01:06:12Just taking it all in. My world. My family.
01:06:15Got room in that world for your most loyal guy?
01:06:17Henry, you're not just some royal guy.
01:06:49Henry, you're not just a royal guy.
01:06:54Henry, you're where I belong. Right here with you.
01:07:00You're my everything, Stella.
