00:00:00Maya Rowan, 26.
00:00:02She turned herself in and pleaded guilty
00:00:03to causing a fatal traffic accident,
00:00:05sentenced to three years in prison.
00:00:07Maya!
00:00:08Sweetheart!
00:00:09Mom, Dad.
00:00:10Ma'am, stay behind the line.
00:00:11We were apart for 25 years,
00:00:14and I only got six months with you.
00:00:16Six months!
00:00:18I'm sorry.
00:00:19When I get out, I'll make up for every day we lost.
00:00:21I promise.
00:00:22Don't worry about us.
00:00:24You just take care of yourself in there.
00:00:26We'll be right here, waiting for you.
00:00:28Evan, you gave me your word.
00:00:31Take care of them for me.
00:00:33I swear.
00:00:34I'll take care of them like they're my own parents.
00:00:36And when you get out, Maya, we're getting married.
00:00:39Then wait for me.
00:00:50Rowan, top bunk.
00:00:56Heard you used to be some rich little princess.
00:00:59Let go.
00:01:04Got some attitude, huh?
00:01:06What the hell do you want?
00:01:08This isn't personal.
00:01:10Somebody on the outside paid good money
00:01:11to make your stay in here extra special.
00:01:15Who?
00:01:17Wanna know who?
00:01:18First, let's see if you live long enough to find out.
00:01:21Teach her how things work around here.
00:01:27This ain't the outside, sweetheart.
00:01:29Nobody's coming to save you.
00:01:31Then you'd better kill me now.
00:01:33Because if I walk out of here alive,
00:01:34I'm coming for every last one of you.
00:01:38Keep going!
00:01:56She's your fiancee,
00:01:58and you still sent her to prison for me.
00:02:00Not even a little guilty.
00:02:05You still sent her to prison for me.
00:02:07Not even a little guilty.
00:02:16Eyes on the road.
00:02:18Maybe stop messing with me then.
00:02:22Watch out!
00:02:29Oh my God!
00:02:30I hit him!
00:02:37He's dead.
00:02:37No, no!
00:02:38I just got my family back!
00:02:40It's only been six months!
00:02:42If Mom and Dad find out I killed someone driving drunk,
00:02:44they'll never want me as their daughter again!
00:02:46I can't lose everything now!
00:02:49Go.
00:02:49I'll handle this.
00:02:52What about you?
00:02:55Trust me.
00:02:59Maya.
00:03:00I screwed up.
00:03:01I hit someone.
00:03:02He's dead.
00:03:03Please, just come here.
00:03:05I don't know what to do.
00:03:11So, you really don't feel a thing for Maya?
00:03:14For her?
00:03:16I needed Maya when she was a Hawthorne.
00:03:18Now, she's just some fisherman's daughter.
00:03:21You're the real Hawthorne.
00:03:23Everything that family has should be yours.
00:03:25And what about prison?
00:03:27Already handled.
00:03:29I paid people on the inside to make sure she regrets taking that fall every single day.
00:03:35You're so good to me.
00:03:41Hold her down.
00:03:44Used to being a little princess, huh?
00:03:46Let's see how good you are at serving someone else.
00:03:48You got one minute?
00:03:49Lick my shoe clean.
00:03:52In your dreams.
00:03:56Come on.
00:03:57Tasha's letting you clean her shoes.
00:03:58You should be grateful.
00:04:00You're tough.
00:04:01You've got guts.
00:04:02But in here, weakness gets hunted.
00:04:05So pick one.
00:04:06Keep your head down and let them break you.
00:04:08Or make damn sure they're afraid to try.
00:04:13Damn it! Get her off me!
00:04:22Back off.
00:04:24One more step and this goes straight through her throat.
00:04:28Mama!
00:04:29Mama Ashworth!
00:04:30Help me!
00:04:32Enough.
00:04:38You're their boss?
00:04:39I'm nobody's boss.
00:04:42You really want to add years to your sentence over her?
00:04:44Take one more step and find out.
00:04:47No.
00:04:48If you wanted her dead, she'd been dead.
00:04:50You just needed everyone here to believe you could do it.
00:04:59Mama Ashworth!
00:05:00Shut it.
00:05:01You started this.
00:05:07Name?
00:05:07Maya Rowan.
00:05:08Why are you in here?
00:05:09A fatal traffic accident.
00:05:10I turned myself in.
00:05:11How many years?
00:05:12Three.
00:05:12Afraid to die?
00:05:14I only found my parents six months ago.
00:05:16I have to make it out of here alive.
00:05:18Good.
00:05:19Means you've got something worth surviving for.
00:05:23From now on, you're my goddaughter.
00:05:25You call me godmother.
00:05:28Follow my rules.
00:05:29Do what I say.
00:05:30And nobody in this place lays a finger on you again.
00:05:34Mom.
00:05:34Dad.
00:05:35Evan.
00:05:36They're all waiting for me.
00:05:38I have to survive this.
00:05:40Godmother.
00:05:44Good.
00:05:45Listen up.
00:05:47Maya Rowan is my goddaughter now.
00:05:49And the four of you?
00:05:51From now on, you're her training partners.
00:05:54Understood, Mama Ashworth.
00:05:56Understood.
00:06:00They're training with me?
00:06:02Being my goddaughter doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.
00:06:17Don't chase the punch.
00:06:18Watch her shoulders.
00:06:19They'll tell you what's coming before her fists do.
00:06:36Mrs. Ashford asked me to look into someone.
00:06:39My mother?
00:06:42Maya Rowan.
00:06:43She wants everything on her.
00:06:45Her life before prison.
00:06:46And everyone who mattered to her.
00:06:53We still haven't found the people who put my mother in prison.
00:06:57And she's spending her time digging into some inmate?
00:07:00She seems to think very highly of her.
00:07:07Then I want to know.
00:07:09What's so special about this girl that she caught my mother's eye?
00:07:13Full scholarship to an Ivy League.
00:07:15Double major in finance and data analytics.
00:07:18Graduated at the top of her class.
00:07:26Then straight into a top risk consulting firm.
00:07:29Specializing in corporate finance and data analysis.
00:07:35Fiance, Evan Mercer.
00:07:37Founder and CEO of Mercer Technologies.
00:07:40That's enough, Maya.
00:07:41We give up.
00:07:42Keep this up and none of us are going to be able to walk tomorrow.
00:07:46Quit whining.
00:07:47All of you, come at me.
00:07:57Looks like your fenced aren't even your best weapon.
00:07:59What do you mean?
00:08:01Your real value is up here.
00:08:06I've got a company whose numbers haven't been adding up lately.
00:08:10What do you want me to do?
00:08:12I want to know whether this company is failing,
00:08:14or somebody's got their hand in my pocket.
00:08:16Find out which, and I'll make it worth your time.
00:08:19You up for it?
00:08:26This?
00:08:27This is easy.
00:08:27Give me the numbers, and I'll tell you exactly where the money's going.
00:08:33Checkmate.
00:08:34You got me.
00:08:36You let me win.
00:08:38I'm not getting any younger.
00:08:40And this past year, everything I've put in your hands,
00:08:43you've handled without a single mistake.
00:08:46You're ready.
00:08:47Ready for what?
00:08:51This is the Ashworth family ring.
00:08:53Only members of the inner circle are allowed to wear it.
00:08:57The Ashworth family?
00:08:59Godmother, I can't...
00:09:00Take it.
00:09:07When you walk out of here, you walk out as my successor.
00:09:11Ashworth Holdings will be yours to lead.
00:09:14Ashworth Holdings?
00:09:15Godmother, that's an empire.
00:09:17Logistics, hotels, security, real estate.
00:09:19Half the country feels it when Ashworth makes a move.
00:09:21But I heard the founder of Ashworth Holdings jumped off a bridge a few years ago.
00:09:25So you...
00:09:26He was my husband.
00:09:28We built Ashworth from nothing.
00:09:30One rented office.
00:09:3120 years of our lives.
00:09:32Then someone came for him.
00:09:34They made his death look like the end of the story.
00:09:36It wasn't.
00:09:38I took over the company.
00:09:39And before long, they came for me too.
00:09:54Ashworth Holdings wants to make Mercer Technologies a strategic partner and invest $50 million?
00:10:00Godmother, Mercer Technologies is my fiancee Evan's company.
00:10:03I know.
00:10:05You looked into him.
00:10:06You're my goddaughter and my chosen successor.
00:10:09Of course I know who matters most in your life.
00:10:11You can give him this investment agreement yourself.
00:10:14Or, if you don't want the deal, tear it up.
00:10:18Evan spent years trying to grow his company.
00:10:20This is the opportunity he's been waiting for.
00:10:24You've given me a second life, Godmother.
00:10:26I won't forget that.
00:10:28Ever.
00:10:29Good.
00:10:33Maya Rowan, pack your things.
00:10:35Your early release has been approved.
00:10:37You'll be processed out tonight.
00:10:41I'm getting out?
00:10:48What are you still doing here?
00:10:49Go.
00:10:50Your parents have waited long enough.
00:10:52Get out of here!
00:10:53And don't you dare come back!
00:10:55You girls better stay out of trouble and get yourselves home soon.
00:11:00Godmother, take care of yourself.
00:11:15You're free, Maya!
00:11:17Go live your life!
00:11:18Go!
00:11:19Go!
00:11:19You're free Maya!
00:11:19You're free!
00:11:19Go live your life!
00:11:21Go!
00:11:21Go!
00:11:24Go!
00:11:38One year, I'm finally out.
00:11:55Sir, this is Maya Rowan, this is Ashworth's goddaughter, and the successor she personally chose.
00:12:16This is my son, Damien.
00:12:19Godmother, you already have a son, why would you put Ashworth in my hands?
00:12:26Damien's capable, but he's too reckless, too unpredictable, he's not ready to carry Ashworth
00:12:33on his shoulders.
00:12:36So he's Godmother's son.
00:12:39My mother may have picked you, but if you want the top seed at Ashfield, you'll have to prove
00:12:44you deserve it.
00:12:55Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:12:56I give up!
00:12:59Gladly.
00:13:01Alright, boss.
00:13:02Where to?
00:13:03I'll drive ya.
00:13:03Grayport Seafood Wharf.
00:13:09Drive.

00:13:21parents here selling fish.
00:13:22Some daughter she is.
00:13:23She's not even their real daughter.
00:13:24Their own daughter ran someone over and killed them.
00:13:26She's still behind bars.
00:13:28Darius, you just had dialysis.

00:13:31Don't push yourself so hard.
00:13:33We still owe half a million from Maya's settlement.

00:14:24How can we still owe you anything?
00:14:26$700,000?
00:14:27That was interest.
00:14:28You still owe me the principal.
00:14:30Pay up today, or I'll tear this whole place apart!

00:36:32when you had kidney failure as a teenager your father gave you one of his kidneys
00:36:37we never told you because we didn't want you to feel like you owed us
00:36:42that's all in the past she doesn't need to know that's impossible my real parents are the ones who gave
00:36:49me
00:36:49my life you can hate what happened at the hospital but mom and dad raised you as their own for
00:36:5525 years
00:36:56and now you're humiliating the man who saved your life stop using old history to guilt trip her
00:37:02if they really saved sloan's life why didn't they say anything all these years
00:37:07because i saved my daughter i never did it so she'd owe me anything
00:37:18if you won't apologize then we'll settle everything one thing at a time tasha
00:37:26who dares lay a hand on sloan
00:37:42who dares lay a hand on a hawthorne
00:37:52dad mom you're finally here maya nearly scared me to death don't be afraid we're here now
00:38:00maya you just got out of prison and already came here to ruin sloan's engagement party
00:38:05are you trying to humiliate our family aren't you going to ask what she did first
00:38:12whatever happened you have no right to bully my daughter richard i called you dad for 25 years too
00:38:19if sloan is the only daughter you recognize now why should i still respect you richard you raised maya
00:38:25for 25 years please for old time's sake don't make things harder for her now you want to talk about
00:38:30those 25 years maya lived the wealthy life that should have belonged to sloan what more could she possibly
00:38:35want the hospital switched us at birth that wasn't my fault or sloan's i went back to my biological
00:38:42parents and she returned to the hawthorne family that should have been the end of it but she stole
00:38:47my fiancee killed someone while driving drunk and had evan trick me into taking the fall for her
00:38:52my parents even went into debt to pay the settlement
00:38:58is that true dad maya's framing me she lost her place as the hawthorne heiress and now she's jealous
00:39:03because evan and i are engaged i know my daughter she would never do any of that
00:39:12evan what do you have to say maya hit that man herself i refuse to take the fall for her
00:39:17and she's
00:39:18hated me ever since she made all of this up tonight to get revenge on us fine if none of
00:39:24you will admit
00:39:25it i'll file a lawsuit and have the police reopen the case dad mom let's go a judge can decide
00:39:31what
00:39:31they owe us dad you can't just let her leave she destroyed our engagement party if she walks out now

00:40:00evan and i'll let your family leave and if i don't then don't blame me for showing no mercy
00:40:13ah richard i'll apologize to sloan for maya sloan grew up with us if this is who she's become
00:40:20then we failed her as parents dad we're not the ones who should be apologizing i have no money
00:40:26no power as long as you're safe i'll do anything how touching but maya's the one who caused trouble

00:40:38sloan we had no idea the hospital switched you at birth
00:40:42hate us if you want but maya was a victim too if it weren't for her i would have spent
00:40:47those 25
00:40:48years as a hawthorne she owes me maya if you ever saw us as your parents then stop provoking sloan
00:41:00i already went to prison for her isn't that enough

00:50:04the opening bid for lot a1 is 50 million dollars the winning bidder must pay the required deposit

00:50:49afford it drop out 200 million
00:50:55that's already well above market value i have my reasons you have no idea who you're competing
00:51:01against oh besides mercer technologies who else is backing you
00:51:15you have to get lot a1 i'm giving you a maximum budget of 200 million dollars
00:51:21all you need to do is secure the land under your company's name
00:51:25what if ashworth holdings finds out that's none of your concern just do what i told you
00:51:31you have to do it and remember if you reveal even a single thing about me
00:51:37understood
00:51:42why'd you stop who exactly is backing you none of your business
00:51:47i'm warning you maya you're not just fighting mercer over a piece of land
00:51:52you're making an enemy of someone you can't afford to cross
00:51:55is that a threat it's a warning you'd better back off and stop bidding against me
00:52:01otherwise there won't be a place for you anywhere in this city
00:52:08250 million
00:52:11then let's see who comes out on top
00:52:17350 million
00:52:20350 million dollars going once
00:52:25400 million
00:52:29400 million where did you get that kind of money she just got out of prison she's obviously bluffing

00:52:44funds
00:52:53go ahead
00:52:59the proof of funds is valid mrs rowan is qualified to bid up to 400 million dollars
00:53:05your turn do you still have the money mercer only has 300 million available
00:53:10call your father i need another 200 million 200 million once we get lot a1 we can use it as
00:53:17collateral for financing and the 500 million ashworth investment will come through in a few
00:53:21days i'll pay your father back as soon as it does
00:53:29dad evan needs 200 million dollars just for a few days

00:54:08sold congratulations to mercer technologies on winning lot a1
00:54:18maya you're nowhere near my league don't celebrate yet let's see who gets the last laugh
00:54:40i gave you a maximum budget of 200 million and you spent 500 million on that land
00:54:47it was my ex's fault she kept driving up the price if i hadn't kept bidding she would have taken
00:54:52the land
00:54:52i told you to get the land not compete with your ex out of spite you cover the extra 300
00:54:58million
00:54:58yourself but mercer is out of money isn't that 500 million dollar investment waiting for you
00:55:04at the astron successors welcome party in three days right once i get that investment 300 million
00:55:10won't be a problem but who exactly is this new astron successor i haven't even seen a photo of her

00:55:20welcome party get the investment and hold on to lot a1 understood so you never planned to buy lot a1
00:55:28you were just driving the price up to 500 million evan doesn't have that kind of money someone behind
00:55:34him desperately wanted him to get that land so you're trying to draw out whoever's behind him
00:55:39if they're willing to spend 500 million on it there has to be something more to that land
00:55:43and evan no rush isn't he still waiting to get that 500 million dollar investment at miss ashford's
00:55:49welcome party in three days let him enjoy himself for three more days
00:55:59this is the ashworn family all right once you get that 500 million mercer will be set once we get
00:56:05that money the extra 300 million we spent on the land won't matter but we don't even know what the
00:56:09successor looks like ashworn approached me first which means she's already interested in mercer once we
00:56:14lock in the partnership tonight all our problems are solved evan mercer mercer technologies thank you for
00:56:19recognizing our company's potential it's an honor to meet you

00:56:49a fatal
00:56:49traffic accident a year ago i was only released on parole first she ruined my engagement party
00:56:58then she deliberately drove up the price at the land auction now she's even pretending to be the ashworth
00:57:03successor just to sabotage my investment a fisherman's daughter and an ex-con standing at the head of an
00:57:10ashworth party this is insane are you done what can't keep up the act anymore first i don't need

00:59:00humiliated me in public did you think about our five years then
00:59:05i was wrong restore the investment and i'll make it up to you however you want

00:59:33now that you've revealed yourself as the successor tonight
00:59:37definitely come after you that's exactly what i want
00:59:42the moment godmother asked me to take over as chairwoman and run the group for her
00:59:46i understood what she was trying to do so you revealed your identity on purpose to draw out
00:59:50whoever's behind all this i already set the first bait at the auction now i'm the second
00:59:55that's too dangerous you need to think about your own safety too godmother has done so much for
00:59:59me i have to repay her fine at tomorrow's shareholders meeting the company will launch
01:00:05a new multi-billion dollar round that will dilute the existing shares whoever's behind this may
01:00:09try to use that opportunity
01:00:24confirmed maya rowan is the successor rochelle chose
01:00:27rochelle actually handed ashward over to a woman who isn't even related to her by blood
01:00:33mr holloway she cancelled the 500 million dollar investment
01:00:37i can't cover the extra 300 million i spent on lot a1
01:00:40you want me to cover that 300 million for you if you help me i'll do anything you ask good
01:00:47you were with maya for five years you should know her habits and where she lives better than anyone
01:00:54what do you want to do bring her to me

01:01:30way
01:01:38at last we finally meet properly mrs rowan
01:01:43you kidnap my parents and drag me here is this how you treat your guests
01:01:46don't worry they're safe for now have a seat
01:01:52marcus holloway the second largest shareholder of ashworth holdings
01:01:56everyone here is a long-time shareholder who helped rochelle and her husband build the company
01:02:01so you gathered them all here before tomorrow's board meeting to stage a coup
01:02:06we built ashworth together rochelle merely took over her husband's position and now she wants to hand
01:02:12the entire group to an outsider with no blood ties to the family so you framed her and sent her
01:02:19to
01:02:19prison just to take her position sign it
01:02:26a share transfer and voting rights delegation agreement transfer all the shares and voting
01:02:30rights rochelle gave you to me sign it and you and your parents can walk out safely if i were
01:02:36that easy to threaten rochelle never would have chosen me are you sure you want to gamble with
01:02:41your parents lives let me see them first
01:02:49bring them out looking for maya's parents they're safe with me
01:02:58the men you sent have already been taken care of guards hold her down she's signing that agreement
01:03:03tonight whether she likes it or not i'd like to see anyone daring on my daughter
01:03:32rochelle
01:03:32rochelle aren't you supposed to still be in prison
01:03:38sorry to disappoint you my case was reopened and i've been released godmother you did well
01:03:46i'll take it from here
01:03:54marcus the evidence is all here
01:03:56moving assets through affiliated companies
01:04:00secretly manipulating the land auction bribing insiders and kidnapping maya's parents tonight
01:04:09you have no right to judge me i'm ashworth's second largest shareholder
01:04:14being a shareholder won't protect your management authority
01:04:19and it certainly won't protect you from an investigation
01:04:24i propose that marcus holloway be removed from all management positions immediately
01:04:30that his board seat be suspended and that all evidence be turned over to the police and an independent audit
01:04:35team
01:04:40agreed
01:04:40i helped build half of this company
01:04:48that's why i gave you chance after chance you're the one who threw it all away
01:04:58one more thing my decision hasn't changed
01:05:02starting today maya will officially take over as ceo of ashburn hemmerdings
01:05:07i'll remain on the board to support her
01:05:10but you're back now ashburn doesn't need someone who clings to the past
01:05:14it needs someone who can lead it into the future
01:05:20i'll do my best
