Transcript
00:00:00I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:11For Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:15I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:17Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:20She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:25She's pregnant?
00:00:27What?
00:00:29She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:32No one's faking it.
00:00:33You're so desperate.
00:00:35Give it back! Stop!
00:00:36No, I'm not.
00:00:37Give it back!
00:00:38No!
00:00:54Bradley.
00:01:10What happened?
00:01:12The baby.
00:01:13Is the baby okay?
00:01:18I'm so sorry.
00:01:21We've lost the baby.
00:01:25I'm so sorry.
00:01:31We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:32We're right here.
00:01:42I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:49Mom, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge.
00:01:52This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:07I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:13Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:15I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:34Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:40There is a condition.
00:02:41You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:46Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:48It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:53It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:56I'll do it.
00:03:00I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:04And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:11Joshua Lane
00:03:18Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being cold and ruffles?
00:03:22That's what I heard.
00:03:24I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:25I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:32Joshua Lane
00:03:41Joshua Lane
00:03:48Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:49Not interested. Get lost.
00:03:55Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:00Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:02Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:03This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:05Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:07Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:09There must be some perks to her.
00:04:11Perks are not.
00:04:12She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:15Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:17Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:30Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:35I do.
00:04:37And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:43I do.
00:04:45Rings?
00:04:54You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:07Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:09This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:15Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:18My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:22She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:24Done.
00:05:25My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:37My assistant will set it up.
00:05:39She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:41Done.
00:05:42Joshua has always been so distant with people, unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:12You should see all the women that can't stop chasing.
00:06:16Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:21But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:27We need an heir after all.
00:06:29Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:32I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hogan's.
00:06:38Quite the contrary, actually.
00:06:41Joshua's very passionate, especially in the bedroom.
00:06:45No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:54For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:01But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:06I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:12Get the campaign ready.
00:07:18Want that jerk out, Asa.
00:07:24Noah, hey.
00:07:25I need a favor.
00:07:31You're right.
00:07:32Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:36Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:38What agency are we using?
00:07:41We're still deciding.
00:07:42Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:45Perfect.
00:07:47I have a plan.
00:07:51I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:54It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:56That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:08:00What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:02I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:06I don't mind.
00:08:07I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:11You have a deal.
00:08:12The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:16There's a little more.
00:08:18I need you to spread the word.
00:08:20Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:28You got it.
00:08:29No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:35Wonderful.
00:08:37Look, I'm not going to lie to you.
00:08:38Wonderful.
00:08:40Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:48I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:08:52But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:56I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:08:58I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:02How do you know about this?
00:09:03Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:05A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholder's opinion.
00:09:09Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:12You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:15Why are you helping me?
00:09:19Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:21Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:24It's all business.
00:09:28Business, right.
00:09:31Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:36How did you know about that?
00:09:38You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:43I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:45I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:47So what?
00:09:51She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:56How dare you?
00:09:57You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:01I can take care of myself.
00:10:07What just happened?
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:12To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:16And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:19Absolutely.
00:10:20You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:27Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:29Poor and powerless.
00:10:30That's all she ever was.
00:10:31She's a joke.
00:10:33A stepping stone at best.
00:10:35With you by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:38Katherine's hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:51Bradley, as the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:56Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:57No, as per your request.
00:10:59Perfect.
00:11:00Keep at it.
00:11:06Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:09There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:21These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:23Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:32I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:36Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:39Mia helped me.
00:11:40But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:45Do you care for her?
00:11:48You don't dislike her?
00:11:50No, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:54Not you.
00:11:55She's a grown woman.
00:11:56She knows what she wants.
00:11:58Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:12:00Especially not you.
00:12:06You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:12Your choice.
00:12:16All right, look.
00:12:19If you have to know, unfortunately, Mia had a miscarriage because of an accident involving
00:12:26Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:35How are you feeling?
00:12:53It's none of your business.
00:12:55Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:58I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive.
00:13:01I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:03I had no idea.
00:13:05You didn't know?
00:13:06That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:09I apologize.
00:13:11I may have overreacted.
00:13:13You were hurting.
00:13:14That's understandable.
00:13:16So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are.
00:13:19Of course I'm not.
00:13:20Who says that?
00:13:22Everyone.
00:13:23Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:28I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:31Fire them all.
00:13:32No, no.
00:13:33No, it's okay.
00:13:35They're allowed to joke.
00:13:36They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:39Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:13:43It suits you.
00:13:45It's not funny.
00:13:49It's late.
00:13:52I'm going to bed.
00:13:55Okay.
00:13:57Good night.
00:14:04Talk like this.
00:14:17Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:19Shorten the stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:21I want to see them bleed.
00:14:23Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:35The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:38They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:39Just a week?
00:14:40How is this possible?
00:14:42Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:44Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:48Joshua.
00:14:54Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:57Yes, I did.
00:14:58Why?
00:14:59Strictly for business.
00:15:01To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:02Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:05Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:06I just did what's necessary.
00:15:07Just like you would do.
00:15:08Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:19Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:21They're taking everything.
00:15:23I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:26As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:30Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:31As in my family's company.
00:15:33Mia Gerber?
00:15:34I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:36Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:39You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:41Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:43I've resigned.
00:15:44You can't touch me.
00:15:45Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:48I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:53Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:57This hospital is all that I have left.
00:15:59Please.
00:16:02That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:06You made your decision then.
00:16:08Mia, can we talk?
00:16:09I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:10I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:23Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:16:27I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:29I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident
00:16:33because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:35Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:38I know.
00:16:38I just...
00:16:40I need you to know that I will always care about you, deeply.
00:16:52You're really like they say.
00:17:03Tall, handsome, powerful.
00:17:14You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:18I do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:24Get your hands off me.
00:17:30Catherine manipulated me, but now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:34We could start over.
00:17:36With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:39We could be parents again.
00:17:40Give us a chance.
00:17:42You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:17:47You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:51You're right.
00:17:51I'm dirty.
00:17:52But think about all the good memories we have.
00:17:54Think about more to come.
00:17:56Just let go.
00:17:57Mia, don't.
00:17:58I'm serious.
00:17:58Don't.
00:17:58Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:10I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:12It's fine, Joshua.
00:18:15Thank you for stepping in.
00:18:16Thank you for everything.
00:18:23Yeah, I follow through with all my business plans.
00:18:26Right.
00:18:27Yeah, the business plan.
00:18:30You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:33Don't look into it too much.
00:18:35Let's go.
00:18:36Actually, you know what?
00:18:39Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone.
00:18:44To figure out my feelings.
00:18:47I understand.
00:18:54They've destroyed everything.
00:18:56We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:01What if we take Mia?
00:19:04A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:08Yes.
00:19:09Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:12Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:15But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:17I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:20From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:20:11Hey!
00:20:26Hey!
00:20:29Help!
00:20:37Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:41You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:46Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:21:04That's for talking back to me.
00:21:08Look at you.
00:21:10Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:13Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:17You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:26Joshua Lane?
00:21:28Listen, we have Mia Gerber.
00:21:30You want her back?
00:21:31Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:33I'll pay the ransom, but listen to me clearly.
00:21:37I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never crossed me.
00:21:48Based on the footage from Mia's car camera,
00:21:50it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:53These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:21:57This one.
00:22:08Mia.
00:22:12I've got you.
00:22:15Let's get you out of here.
00:22:37Oh.
00:22:59It's not worth it.
00:23:07I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:32Made you some soup.
00:23:38It's very unique.
00:23:43What is this?
00:23:44My mom's recipe.
00:23:46Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:49I thought it might comfort you.
00:23:52I must have made it wrong.
00:23:53It's wonderful.
00:23:55I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:58It's nothing.
00:24:00I just did what I had to do.
00:24:02Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:09Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:10A guest has arrived.
00:24:12Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:14Susie's back?
00:24:23Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:32Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:35When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:38Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:40It's been too long.
00:24:42Welcome back, Sus.
00:24:43I came back just for you.
00:24:46Oh, there's so much.
00:24:50Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:54Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:57So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:25:00No, Susie, that's enough.
00:25:03Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:25:07We've been friends since like forever.
00:25:11He means a lot to me.
00:25:12I want him to be happy.
00:25:14I think we all want that.
00:25:16Do you?
00:25:17Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:20He confides in me.
00:25:22I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:24He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:27Right, uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:30So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:38Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:42I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:45Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:48I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:50I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:54I'm sorry.
00:25:54I'm sorry.
00:25:56I just, I was trying to help since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:26:04I don't mind it now.
00:26:06Do you like her?
00:26:09She's fine.
00:26:12This means I still have a chance.
00:26:14Joshua, if I had stayed by your side,
00:26:18you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:23I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:26Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:29Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:31Of course.
00:26:33I'll always be there for you.
00:26:42How's it going?
00:26:44It's this marriage.
00:26:46It's Joshua.
00:26:47He's like a shadow.
00:26:48He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:53You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:58Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:27:02Thank you, Noah.
00:27:06How could I live without you?
00:27:10I can't live without you.
00:27:23How could I live without you?
00:27:31I'd do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:46Joshua, we can't be like this forever.
00:27:55We have to talk.
00:27:59Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:28:01It seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:28:03I don't even know what that means.
00:28:04There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:07You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:09What?
00:28:11Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:15Okay.
00:28:29What's he doing here?
00:28:32Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:37And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:49And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:53It seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:55What are you two doing?
00:28:58What's going on here?
00:28:59Joshua, why are you acting so irrational?
00:29:01This is ridiculous.
00:29:02You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:29:04I didn't invite...
00:29:05Joshua!
00:29:07I'm sorry, Mia.
00:29:08I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two.
00:29:10It wasn't my intention.
00:29:11It's fine.
00:29:13Why are you here?
00:29:14I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:16I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:23Is that Dwayne?
00:29:25And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:32This plan is our game changer.
00:29:35What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:36They're our biggest rival.
00:29:38They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:40We are way ahead of them.
00:29:42And how do you know that?
00:29:44The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:47He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:51Like, I'd betray my own company.
00:29:52He'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:55Right, of course, Dwayne.
00:29:57Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:58See, he's fine.
00:30:01I don't know.
00:30:02There's something strange about him.
00:30:04I can't put my finger on it, but just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:09I will.
00:30:12Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:17Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:22I'm sorry, Dwayne.
00:30:22I didn't mean to.
00:30:23I didn't mean to.
00:30:24I'm sorry.
00:30:24I didn't mean to.
00:30:25I'm sorry.
00:30:25I didn't mean to.
00:30:26I didn't mean to.
00:30:26I didn't mean to.
00:30:27I didn't mean to.
00:30:28Excellent.
00:30:29Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:33Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:37Mia Gerber will be out of the company, and I'll be the number one.
00:30:48How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:50This was our strategy.
00:30:52Where's Dwayne?
00:30:53He's outside.
00:30:58I'm sorry.
00:31:07Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:12The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:18I don't know.
00:31:19We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:22They must have developed this independently.
00:31:24Mia, you're just too young.
00:31:26You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:29This stuff happens.
00:31:31I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:35And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:39You can leave.
00:31:54Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:56Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:59Wow.
00:32:00Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:06Damn it, why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:11Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:15What?
00:32:22We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:25It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:34Acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:39Now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:42Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:48I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:55That's due to the overall market trend, not because your leadership.
00:33:00My strategies have been more than effective.
00:33:03The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits and our growth,
00:33:07by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:10This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:33:18As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:24I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:31I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:39What, what is this? What are you doing?
00:33:41These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:44He leaked our strategy.
00:33:50You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:52I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:54All these years, I've never been a CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:58I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:34:02Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:07We built this company on integrity and trust, values you clearly lack.
00:34:14Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:17Wait, Dane...
00:34:24Mia, we're so proud of you. You've really handled the crisis well.
00:34:35You truly are a Gerber.
00:34:41Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:43Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:46You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:50It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:54Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:34:57and I intercepted the tip.
00:35:01This is your schedule for the week.
00:35:04And what's this?
00:35:05Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:07Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:19Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:35:22I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:35:26and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:30Can I see the photos?
00:35:38I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:47Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:50Is this you? In the reflection?
00:35:52Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:54Yeah, it's me.
00:35:55Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:57He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:36:00We then delivered the photos.
00:36:03Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:07Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:36:09No need to.
00:36:14Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:17Joshua's a complicated man.
00:36:21He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:24He's never gone through such steps for anyone before, Mia.
00:36:26This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:30He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:32Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:35He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:38I just ask that you don't hurt him.
00:36:42Come on.
00:36:45You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:47Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:57It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:37:00What about it?
00:37:01I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:37:04Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:37:05It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:08Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:12Did you do it because...
00:37:13No, no, it's nothing like that.
00:37:15I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:19It would look bad for me.
00:37:21So it's all about appearances?
00:37:23Yes, Mia.
00:37:24It's all it ever is.
00:37:25We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:28Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:30Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:34I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:42I want a divorce.
00:37:45Are you sure about this?
00:37:49I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:51Not this facade.
00:37:55I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:59I want genuine happiness.
00:38:02I understand.
00:38:03If that's what you want.
00:38:08Joshua, please.
00:38:10I'm sorry.
00:38:11I'm sorry.
00:38:11I'm sorry.
00:38:12I'm sorry.
00:38:12I'm sorry.
00:38:13I'm sorry.
00:38:13I'm sorry.
00:38:14I'm sorry.
00:38:14I'm sorry.
00:38:15Please.
00:38:18Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:46Mia, I want...
00:39:00Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:39:03Mia.
00:39:04Mia?
00:39:07Mia, don't leave.
00:39:07Don't leave.
00:39:08You're drunk.
00:39:09Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:13No.
00:39:14I'll take him to my place.
00:39:15He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:19Let's go.
00:39:29Mia.
00:39:31Mia.
00:39:39Morning, Josh.
00:39:41Here, drink this.
00:39:43You've had quite a night.
00:39:45Susie.
00:39:48Where am I?
00:39:50This is my apartment.
00:39:52Nothing bad happened.
00:39:54I also drove your car back here.
00:39:56How did I get here?
00:39:58You were really drunk.
00:40:00I didn't think you should be alone.
00:40:02Josh, what happened?
00:40:05It's over between me and Mia.
00:40:07We're getting a divorce.
00:40:09I'm sorry.
00:40:14Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:17You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:39No.
00:40:40I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:42Why?
00:40:44I have always loved you.
00:40:46Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:50Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:55It can't be anything more.
00:40:57I'm sorry.
00:41:00Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
00:41:06Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:09I need to go tell her.
00:41:11Now.
00:41:38Oh, hey.
00:41:58I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:42:00Are you okay?
00:42:02I'm fine.
00:42:03It's just, it's for the best.
00:42:06There's something I need to tell you.
00:42:08Sorry, it's the hospital.
00:42:11Hello?
00:42:12What?
00:42:14What happened?
00:42:14Is he okay?
00:42:17Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:42:19What's wrong?
00:42:20It's Joshua.
00:42:21He's been in an accident.
00:42:29Excuse me, excuse me.
00:42:31I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:39Joshua.
00:42:42Miss Gerber?
00:42:44Yeah.
00:42:44We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:50It's not my fault.
00:42:53It was nobody's fault.
00:42:54It was an accident.
00:42:56But right now, he needs you.
00:42:59Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:43:03I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:09You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:12That meant the world to me.
00:43:15Whenever you get better, I'm gonna make you that soup.
00:43:21Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:24It was those little moments with you.
00:43:28You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:34sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:38Please come back to me.
00:43:51This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:54You drove him to this.
00:43:56You hurt him.
00:43:57And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:00Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:03Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:07Now even Joshua's father has been convinced.
00:44:09So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:12I won't stand for it.
00:44:13What's the plan?
00:44:15I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:16He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:19His voice can sway their mind.
00:44:30Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:34I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:36After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:40You're too kind.
00:44:41I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:42Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:46So tell me, why do you want to see me?
00:44:50Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:53You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:56Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:45:00We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:03I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:05Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:07It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:10Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:45:14Alex is the only choice.
00:45:16And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:22And what if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:26I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:30I can uphold his legacy.
00:45:32And as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:37Your vote, of course, is crucial.
00:45:39But more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:43If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:46And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:50Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:52I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:56They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:59I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:46:03What if he doesn't?
00:46:05He will.
00:46:07I admire your tenacity.
00:46:09I'll do what I can.
00:46:11Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:22I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:34You did the same for me.
00:46:39I won't let you down.
00:46:46Given Joshua's current condition,
00:46:49I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:54Mia Gerber?
00:46:55She's from a different company.
00:46:57How is she even qualified?
00:46:58Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:47:01She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:47:04Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership
00:47:08will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:47:10This is absurd.
00:47:11Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:47:16While I appreciate your concerns,
00:47:19I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:22And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple
00:47:25questionable business dealings,
00:47:28I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:31I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:33Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:38But Dad!
00:47:39Stop, Alex!
00:47:45Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:52Let's go.
00:47:54You ain't gonna take over with no consequences, Mia?
00:47:57I'm gonna make her pay.
00:48:01You won't be touching her.
00:48:02Who the fuck are you?
00:48:09Damn it!
00:48:09She's gone!
00:48:10Take care of her!
00:48:15You see the security camera?
00:48:17I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:18And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:22You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:24Ever!
00:48:25God damn it!
00:48:36Thanks.
00:48:45Noah, what happened?
00:48:47Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:49You're not fine, you're bleeding.
00:48:54Here, come on.
00:48:55Are you okay?
00:48:59Thanks, but the reason I came over was because I wanted to
00:49:03finish our conversation before...
00:49:04Mrs. Lane!
00:49:06It's Mr. Lane, he's waking up from the coma!
00:49:15I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:17I just want to tell you something important.
00:49:18No, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:25Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, always fucking Joshua.
00:49:33When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:37Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:40But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:46Mia.
00:49:48Mia.
00:49:50Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:54Mia.
00:49:56Excuse me, miss.
00:49:59Mr. Lane?
00:50:02Mr. Lane?
00:50:03Mia.
00:50:05Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:06Mia.
00:50:07Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:50:10Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:50:12Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:14Mia.
00:50:15Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:50:23Joshua.
00:50:24I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:26No, Mia.
00:50:28Don't blame yourself.
00:50:30It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:32You got hurt because of me.
00:50:34Mia, listen to me.
00:50:39I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you.
00:50:43For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:46I was afraid to admit it, even to myself.
00:50:50I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:53I love you, Mia.
00:50:56I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:59You should have said them sooner.
00:51:03I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:15Noah Bellini, drinking alone?
00:51:34What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:35Just to talk.
00:51:36You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:41Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:45I heard you managed as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:56I handled things.
00:51:58I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:52:02Who's the partner?
00:52:04Kevin Katz.
00:52:07He's a key player in the industry.
00:52:09Katz?
00:52:10He's notorious for being handsy with business partners.
00:52:15I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:18I can handle Katz.
00:52:20We've dealt with worse.
00:52:22Just be careful, all right?
00:52:24I will.
00:52:29I promise.
00:52:32Hey.
00:52:35I gotta go.
00:52:36Love you.
00:52:45So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial,
00:52:47especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:49Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:51I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:53Now with you at the helm,
00:52:55perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:53:03Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:53:07Oh, come on, Mia.
00:53:09Don't be such a prude.
00:53:10Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:16Don't you agree?
00:53:20I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:25You'll regret this, bitch.
00:53:28I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:32Now you have one last chance.
00:53:39That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:46Hey.
00:53:47How'd the meeting go?
00:53:51Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:54What did he do?
00:53:55I handled it.
00:53:57Okay?
00:53:59Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:54:03Can I get you some water?
00:54:15Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:54:18I can't explain right now, just do it.
00:54:25Where's Joshua?
00:54:26Uh, Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:28He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:30No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:36What are you trying to do?
00:54:38Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua.
00:54:40I'm not going to let you touch him.
00:54:42I'm not going to let you touch him.
00:54:43Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:52You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:54I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:58This is you, Mr. Katz, doing something quite illegal.
00:55:03I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:55:06You can't sue me.
00:55:08It was a long time ago.
00:55:10If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:55:14In fact, just take it.
00:55:17The victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:55:22You!
00:55:23If you so much as speak a word about me or me, I'll make sure you wish you were born.
00:55:34Where were you?
00:55:34I was worried sick.
00:55:36I had to take care of something about Katz.
00:55:40I told you I handled it.
00:55:41I can take care of myself.
00:55:43I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:45Still, it's so reckless.
00:55:50It's okay now.
00:55:52You handled it?
00:55:53Did.
00:55:54I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:58I really do love you, Joshua.
00:56:02I love you too, Mia.
00:56:06I have a surprise for you.
00:56:14I made something for you.
00:56:19What's this?
00:56:20It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:23I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:28I can't believe you made this.
00:56:31I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:32This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:45How'd you get it so right?
00:56:47I may have had some help from the internet and about 50 practice runs.
00:56:56You're just the best.
00:56:58We have a plan that could shift the balance of power in our favor.
00:57:04Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber and the Gerber Corporation, but this time, we will.
00:57:11I just, I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:57:14I promise you, she won't.
00:57:16With the Gerber family's fortune, Mia's set for life.
00:57:20She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:23Think about that.
00:57:24Won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:26Think about this.
00:57:27With the Gerber family out of practice, Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:33Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia because she's no use to him.
00:57:38Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:40Here's the plan.
00:57:42We target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network.
00:57:46This roughly will cause significant issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:52And we proceed.
00:57:53Melody Healthcare has insiders inside their supply chain.
00:57:57We'll start by creating delays and quality issues.
00:58:01The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:58:04The resources stretch so thin, they won't even see us coming.
00:58:15Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:58:18It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:20Thanks for coming.
00:58:21And thank you for being there for me during the coma.
00:58:26It means a lot.
00:58:28But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:32In the end, only Mia matters to you.
00:58:35Susie, you'll always matter to me.
00:58:39But yes, I love Mia.
00:58:43I'll always love you too, but as a friend.
00:58:47That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:49It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:53That's why I'm here.
00:58:54To say goodbye.
00:58:57Um, what's your plan?
00:58:59I'm helping out my dad with our family company.
00:59:02Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:05That's Gerber Corporation's biggest supplier, right?
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:10Susie, you wouldn't-
00:59:11Don't worry, Joshua.
00:59:12We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:15I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:19Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:35Why are there so many cancelled contracts with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:39Hey.
00:59:42You haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:48There are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers.
01:00:03Hello?
01:00:07What do you mean they've stopped supplying to us?
01:00:19Noah, the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
01:00:25It's a competitive market, Mia.
01:00:26Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:28Isn't that unusual?
01:00:30Yeah, it is, so I'm gonna look into it.
01:00:34Hey, are you okay?
01:00:36Yeah, I'm fine.
01:00:36Just busy.
01:00:37Don't worry about me.
01:00:40Okay.
01:00:40You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:00:50What- what happened?
01:00:52It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:54The situation's worse than I thought.
01:00:59I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:01:04We'll get through this together.
01:01:11Thank you all for coming.
01:01:18We understand your concerns and we're prepared to increase profits to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:35Now, the offer looks good.
01:01:37But we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company.
01:01:41Involving a higher level?
01:01:44Let me assure you, Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:48These rumors are unfounded.
01:02:00You're right.
01:02:01There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:02:03Keep digging, Ethan.
01:02:04We need concrete evidence.
01:02:06Mia, Noah might be involved with the issues at the company.
01:02:10There's no way.
01:02:11He's very loyal to the company.
01:02:14Although he has been acting weird lately.
01:02:16Have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
01:02:19I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:02:22No.
01:02:24Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:25He's never even said anything remotely romantic.
01:02:29Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:32I'm sure he's been through a lot.
01:02:33Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:36I mean, sure, he's supportive and caring, but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:40I really don't think there's anything more to it.
01:02:44Sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most.
01:02:53Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:02:54We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:56I've been good.
01:02:57I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis.
01:03:00I know, and I'm really grateful for you.
01:03:02You've done so much.
01:03:03I never wanted you to be burdened.
01:03:05I care too much about you.
01:03:12Hey, I have a question.
01:03:16You don't secretly have feelings for me, do you?
01:03:26What if I do?
01:03:28Oh, really?
01:03:33I've put this off for too long, and I need to tell you now.
01:03:40I've loved you since the first time I met you.
01:03:45I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
01:03:48You were just starting college and came to visit the office during summer break.
01:03:53You wore a blue dress and looked like a princess.
01:03:57I was just starting off the company, and I come from a humble background, so
01:04:02I never thought I could be with someone like you.
01:04:05Not anymore.
01:04:08I'm stronger.
01:04:10I'm a rookie.
01:04:12I know we should be together, Mia.
01:04:16Noah, I've really only ever seen you as a friend.
01:04:27It's because Joshua's done things for you.
01:04:30I've done more.
01:04:31No.
01:04:33I love him, okay?
01:04:34We understand each other.
01:04:37Because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth, and I wasn't?
01:04:40You know it's not that.
01:04:42I just, I have a really strong feeling about him.
01:04:46I'm—
01:04:48Just not for me.
01:04:51Noah, I'm sorry.
01:04:54I didn't mean to lead you on, and it wasn't my intention to hurt you.
01:04:59It's okay.
01:05:02I understand.
01:05:05Just needed to hear it from you.
01:05:08I know.
01:05:13Dwayne, double down on the plan.
01:05:17There's no going back now.
01:05:24Noah, I'm sorry.
01:05:29What brings you here?
01:05:31I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber.
01:05:35I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:37It's simple.
01:05:38Harbor Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:42If you cut ties with Gerber, it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:48So, you're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:53Why would I go along with it?
01:05:56The question is, why wouldn't you?
01:05:58You and I are alike, Susie.
01:06:00I always love people who don't love us back.
01:06:03I've already let it go.
01:06:05Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:06:08If me and the Gerber family are out of the company,
01:06:11the Lean family won the business alliance,
01:06:13Joshua and Mia will get divorced,
01:06:17and you and I can finally be with them.
01:06:23Join me.
01:06:24Together, we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:29So, Mia, we've heard smaller suppliers are terminating contracts.
01:06:35Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:38That's not what I heard.
01:06:39The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:43How do you explain this?
01:06:44I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:06:46but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger.
01:06:50As one of the largest shareholders, I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:55These rumors are just that, rumors.
01:06:59The rumor was right.
01:07:05Harbor Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:07:09But there's still hope.
01:07:11I've convinced Harbor to continue their partnership with us,
01:07:15but only if I become the new CEO.
01:07:19It's time for a change in leadership,
01:07:21someone who could steer this company in the right direction.
01:07:24So I've brought Susie Harper with me,
01:07:26the acting CEO of Harbor Medical Devices.
01:07:30Susie will tell you all that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:38Actually, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:41Harbor Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:46Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:49Furthermore, I believe in Mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking this company.
01:07:55Thank you, Susie.
01:07:57I owe you a big one.
01:07:59You don't owe me anything.
01:08:01I just want Joshua and the person he loves to be happy.
01:08:06Promise me you'll never hurt him.
01:08:12And I have evidence that Noah Boulani has been conspiring with four other companies
01:08:17Noah Boulani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser to sabotage the company.
01:08:25Mr. Boulani, your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it.
01:08:31You're therefore terminated immediately.
01:08:47It's quite the view.
01:09:05I thought a lot about what happened and I wanted to say sorry.
01:09:10I should have been clearer.
01:09:13I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:09:15I was lost, Mia.
01:09:18My actions, my obsession.
01:09:23I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:27We both made mistakes.
01:09:30I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:35You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:37You were more than a friend to me, Mia.
01:09:40I've learned to let go.
01:09:44I just want you to be happy.
01:09:50I am.
01:09:52I hope you find your happiness, too.
01:09:57Take care, Noah.
01:10:01Me too.
01:10:14We are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane.
01:10:29Joshua, our marriage was out of necessity, but you've become my partner, my rock, my best friend.
01:10:39Mia, you've given me the gift of a real family.
01:10:41I will vow to cherish and love you.
01:10:44Forever.
01:10:45This is just the beginning of our forever.
01:11:14you
