00:00:00You married some random cowboy?
00:00:12What?
00:00:13Okay, husband, so from now on, I pay you 10k a month for as long as we're married, and
00:00:18it was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:00:21This must be your new boy toy, huh?
00:00:23Stay away from her.
00:00:24This is where you live.
00:00:25Uh, you know, thanks for the ride.
00:00:26I'll catch you later.
00:00:27I got a married girl in my dreams, she doesn't really know who I am yet, take care of the
00:00:32company while I'm gone, okay?
00:00:34You work the hotels at night, and then you're here during the day, well, geez, don't overwork
00:00:39yourself.
00:00:40If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.
00:00:42You know, you two make the perfect couple, after all.
00:00:48Trash sticks with trash.
00:00:51You need to file for divorce right now.
00:00:56Sophie's taking over the company today.
00:00:57Don't worry, I won't let her win.
00:01:003 million, 15 million?
00:01:0215 million, I have 15 million.
00:01:05Who the fuck is Justin Blake?
00:01:07It's time I reveal my true identity.
00:01:11Oh
00:01:13Oh
00:01:15Oh
00:01:40God did I really sleep with a cowboy?
00:01:45I
00:01:47I
00:02:13Forgot to pay you of course
00:02:16Two grand should cover it
00:02:27Goodbye, and I will see you never
00:02:33Truth is I met her once seven years ago. I just arrived in Paris for my foreign exchange program
00:02:51But I got my wallet and phone stolen on my first day here
00:02:58You speak English
00:03:01Um
00:03:03Please, I'm talking to the agent
00:03:05Porter the photo
00:03:07Porter the photo
00:03:11Porter the photo
00:03:23American?
00:03:27Yes
00:03:29Yes, you speak English.
00:03:32Yeah, and let me guess, your wallet and your phone were stolen.
00:03:35How'd you know that?
00:03:36I mean, it happens. I was in your shoes not too long ago.
00:03:39But, this should be enough to get you a taxi to wherever you want to go.
00:03:45Good luck.
00:03:47Wait, I didn't get your name.
00:04:00Oh, Sophie Swift, smile for the camera.
00:04:10Oh, if your fiancé finds out about your little one night stand, think he'll still marry you?
00:04:15You still think I'd marry that lying, cheating, tiny dick man whore?
00:04:18You know what, since you like to sleep with him, why don't you marry him?
00:04:21Well, I'm going to show Derek and Daddy these photos.
00:04:24See what they have to say.
00:04:27Hey, psycho, what are you doing?
00:04:30Oops, looks like you need a new phone.
00:04:34Here, go buy one.
00:04:38Now get out before I call security.
00:04:45Gotcha.
00:04:56Hey.
00:05:00So, you work in the hotels, huh?
00:05:02Actually, this is just one of the many hotels...
00:05:04Oh, um, hi, my car is here.
00:05:07Keep this.
00:05:09You did really good last night.
00:05:14One of the many hotels that I own.
00:05:22This woman has always given me money.
00:05:25Wait, does she really think I'm a cowboy?
00:05:36Hey, boss, still on for golf with the senator?
00:05:39I've rescheduled.
00:05:41Take me to the Maple Plaza site. I need to check out a few things.
00:05:56Look into Sophie Swift for me. I need to know everything about her.
00:06:00Got it, boss.
00:06:12Well, if she's going to sleep with some random male escort, I don't want to marry her anymore.
00:06:19I don't want to marry her anymore.
00:06:22But Derek, if you don't marry Sophie, she can't inherit her late mother's company.
00:06:28We talked about this.
00:06:30You heard what Stella said. She saw Sophie with another man. It's not my fault.
00:06:35Daddy, don't be mad. You know how irresponsible Sophie is.
00:06:40Sophie, where the hell are you?
00:06:44Come home now.
00:06:59Yeah, boss, what you need?
00:07:00So the first round of the state inspection is next week.
00:07:02So we've got to make sure everything's good to go.
00:07:04It's all under control, boss. We've got to make sure everything's good to go.
00:07:06It's all under control, boss. We've got to make sure everything's good to go.
00:07:08It's all under control, boss. We've got to make sure everything's good to go.
00:07:10See, look, the trash over by the trash can needs to go in the trash can.
00:07:13It can't be laying around on the ground, right?
00:07:15Mama's team, boss. I'll take care of it right away.
00:07:21Speak in Spanish.
00:07:29Where the hell are you? You need to come home right now.
00:07:32What do you want, dad? I'm meeting with the construction site manager to go over some changes to the blueprint.
00:07:36Your sister told me everything. Have you no shame?
00:07:40Derek wants to break off the engagement.
00:07:43You need to come home and beg him to take you back if you want to save the company.
00:07:48I don't want to marry him either.
00:07:50He's there with you, isn't he?
00:07:52Put me on speaker.
00:07:55Hey, Derek, fuck you.
00:07:57You turn 25 in three days.
00:08:00How do you expect to inherit your mother's company if you don't get married?
00:08:04It's clearly stated in the will.
00:08:06You know what? I will marry anybody else but him. Goodbye.
00:08:15It's you.
00:08:18It's you.
00:08:23So you work at the hotels at night and then here during the day.
00:08:27Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.
00:08:29I usually handle it just fine, but I'm especially tired after last night.
00:08:33How many rounds?
00:08:35Oh, hey, stop it. I'm right there.
00:08:37Anyway, what brings you here today, Ms. Swift?
00:08:40You can call me Sophie.
00:08:42And I'm supposed to meet the construction site manager, but I'm late and I think that they've already left.
00:08:48So I guess I can just call them later.
00:08:51Oh, snap. She's from the architecture firm that's partnered with us.
00:08:54Justin, you must be exhausted from working two jobs.
00:08:58Why don't you come work for me instead?
00:09:01Huh?
00:09:02I can double your current salary, whatever it is.
00:09:05Where are we going? What's the job?
00:09:07City Hall. And the job is to marry me.
00:09:10What?
00:09:19Okay, husband. So from now on, I pay you 10K a month for as long as we're married.
00:09:23And it was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:09:26You got it, boss. Or should I say wife?
00:09:29Boss wife. Let the show begin.
00:09:41Nice of you to finally come home.
00:09:44If I were you, I'd be begging Derek to take me back.
00:09:48Derek probably doesn't even want to see her anymore. That's why she came crawling back here.
00:09:52That's funny coming from two homewreckers.
00:09:55How dare you?
00:09:57Tony, do you hear your daughter?
00:09:59Rude rat.
00:10:01I am not here to listen to you guys talk down on me.
00:10:04I'm here to show you my marriage certificate.
00:10:06And in about three days time, I will be taking over my late mother's architecture firm.
00:10:11And you guys can't do anything about it.
00:10:14Who the fuck is Justin Lake?
00:10:18Justin Lake.
00:10:20Name sounds familiar.
00:10:22I know I've heard that name before.
00:10:24Wait, is that the guy from this morning?
00:10:27You married some random cowboy?
00:10:30What?
00:10:31That's appalling.
00:10:32Oh, not as appalling as you.
00:10:34At least you didn't sleep with a married man and get pregnant.
00:10:37Don't you dare talk to my mother that way.
00:10:40You need to file for divorce right now.
00:10:45Or never set foot in this house again.
00:10:48I'm okay with that.
00:10:50I was just here to show you my certificate.
00:10:52What's up?
00:10:55Holy fuck, Sophie.
00:10:57You got married to a stranger.
00:11:03Holy fuck, Sophie. You got married to a stranger.
00:11:06Yes, Kendall. You asked me three times already.
00:11:08And like I said, fake marriage so that I can inherit my mother's company.
00:11:11Yeah, still, marriage is a huge deal.
00:11:14Well, what am I supposed to do?
00:11:16Marry Derek?
00:11:20You're right.
00:11:21Anyone is better than Derek.
00:11:23Have no mercy for cheaters.
00:11:26So, how did you meet this Justin Lake?
00:11:31Two grand should cover it.
00:11:34I'd rather not say that.
00:11:36Okay, what does he do for a living?
00:11:39Okay, I'd rather not answer that one either.
00:11:41You gotta give me something.
00:11:43Look, point being, I am paying him ten grand a month to play my husband for a couple months.
00:11:47Wait, you're paying him ten grand?
00:11:50And then we get divorced.
00:11:51I'm your assistant.
00:11:52Why is his salary higher than mine?
00:11:54I want a raise.
00:11:55A raise, okay.
00:12:01I need you to look into someone for me.
00:12:03His name?
00:12:05Justin Lake.
00:12:14Boss, what's happening?
00:12:16You've been like this all morning.
00:12:18I got married yesterday to the girl of my dreams.
00:12:21Wait, the Paris girl?
00:12:23Yep.
00:12:25Wait, let me guess.
00:12:26Sophie Swift?
00:12:28Yep.
00:12:29She's with Swift Architecture.
00:12:31We're actually working with them on the Maple Plaza project.
00:12:33Huh.
00:12:34She doesn't really know who I am yet.
00:12:36What?
00:12:37I don't know.
00:12:39We're actually working with them on the Maple Plaza project.
00:12:41Huh.
00:12:42She doesn't really know who I am yet.
00:12:44Huh?
00:12:45And she's giving me ten grand a month.
00:12:47Isn't she cute?
00:12:48Huh?
00:12:53Hey.
00:12:54Hey yourself.
00:12:55Alright, first day on the job.
00:12:57I texted you an address.
00:12:58Please meet me there.
00:13:00You got it.
00:13:02I gotta go.
00:13:04What do you mean you gotta go?
00:13:05Wait, where?
00:13:06She called.
00:13:07I gotta go.
00:13:08Wait, what about our meetings today?
00:13:09You gotta cancel it.
00:13:10Your wife's more important.
00:13:13Huh?
00:13:24Looking good, Joey.
00:13:26Welcome, Ms. Swift.
00:13:28I have your address right here, if you would.
00:13:30Actually, my husband is coming in a minute and he needs some decent suits.
00:13:34And you're the only designer in LA that I trust.
00:13:36Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, Ms. Swift, but this is too last minute.
00:13:41I am swamped by orders.
00:13:48I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:13:50It's okay.
00:13:51Ms. Swift.
00:13:53Now, how come you didn't tell me that your husband was...
00:13:59Was, uh, such a handsome young man.
00:14:03Justin, like...
00:14:05Are you serious?
00:14:07Actually, I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.
00:14:09It didn't look so expensive.
00:14:11You really don't have to do this for me.
00:14:13Well, you're my husband, of course I do, but I'm happy to, so...
00:14:17Can you get his measurements, please?
00:14:19Oh, there's no need.
00:14:21Uh, I mean, um...
00:14:26Uh, I mean, um...
00:14:28Well, I've been doing this for too long.
00:14:31One look, and I have a rough number in mind.
00:14:34Okay, well, see, then this is why we're here.
00:14:36Joey's the expert of experts.
00:14:38Well, I have some suits you'll look stunning in, Mr. Lake.
00:14:41Please, follow me.
00:14:43I'll wait for you out here, okay?
00:14:45Okay.
00:14:49These two racks are customized for you, Mr. Lake.
00:14:53Grab a few options, and I can pretend to put them on.
00:15:01Okay.
00:15:11Hmm.
00:15:15It's not bad.
00:15:17Okay, what kind of witchcraft is this?
00:15:19Every suit fits you like a glove.
00:15:22Trade secrets.
00:15:32Oh, sorry.
00:15:34No, that's... that's okay.
00:15:36Um, we're actually going to take all three suits.
00:15:39Uh, well, actually, we're having our annual sale on now.
00:15:45All the suits you chose are 30% off.
00:15:48Really? You never have sales.
00:15:50Ah, let me tell you something.
00:15:52I'm not going to sell you anything.
00:15:54I'm not going to sell you anything.
00:15:56I'm not going to sell you anything.
00:15:58Really? You never have sales.
00:16:00Ah, let me wrap these up for you.
00:16:02Okay.
00:16:06Promise I'll make enough money to pay you back.
00:16:08You're my husband, okay? You don't have to pay me back.
00:16:13At least not with money.
00:16:16Hmm.
00:16:27Wow.
00:16:29I've never had a woman take me shopping, buy me expensive clothes, and offer to take me home.
00:16:34Lucky you. You just won the jackpot.
00:16:37There's no argument there.
00:16:39Come on, dinner's on me.
00:16:41Is this Sophie?
00:16:44It really is you.
00:16:46What do you want?
00:16:47So Stella was right about you.
00:16:49This must be your new boy toy, huh?
00:16:52And you must be the cheating, lying, tiny-dick man-whore, right?
00:16:57You bitch. Is that what you told him?
00:17:02You bitch. Is that what you told him?
00:17:05You call my wife a bitch again, and I won't hesitate to break your nose.
00:17:10You hear me, bitch?
00:17:13Whatever, man. Just chill the fuck out.
00:17:16Now shoot, unless you want to get hit.
00:17:19Whatever, arrogant prick.
00:17:25Come on, I'm extra hungry now.
00:17:27Okay.
00:17:34Are you sure you want to pay for dinner? This place is very expensive.
00:17:38Look, you pay me ten grand a month, I think I can comfortably afford this.
00:17:42Don't worry about it. Order whatever you'd like.
00:17:44Alright, but don't blame me if I break your wallet.
00:17:51Mr. Lake! Why didn't you tell me you were coming in tonight?
00:17:58Justin, is he talking to you?
00:18:05Dennis.
00:18:06My good buddy, Dennis. Long time no see. How are you?
00:18:09You know the GM here?
00:18:11Yeah, from when I used to work here for work.
00:18:18Right. Hi, Justin. From when you used to work here.
00:18:22My brother. We really miss you around here.
00:18:28What did you used to do here?
00:18:30I would, uh... I'd bring clients.
00:18:35So you rep shared with the restaurant?
00:18:42That's clever. No wonder you brought me here. Why didn't you just tell me?
00:18:47So you ready to order?
00:18:52Teddy bear?
00:19:00Teddy bear?
00:19:02Sophie bear. Come here.
00:19:04Hi! When did you get back from Barcelona?
00:19:08This morning.
00:19:09Why didn't you call me to come get you from the airport?
00:19:11I wanted to be a surprise.
00:19:13Consider me surprised. How did you even know I was here?
00:19:17Dummy. Come on. You remember you shared your location with my phone?
00:19:21After what happened last time?
00:19:23Come on. Any more questions?
00:19:25Okay, okay.
00:19:27Justin, meet Teddy, my best friend.
00:19:30Justin.
00:19:31Teddy.
00:19:36That's a firm handshake you got there.
00:19:39Am I interrupting anything?
00:19:41Actually, we were just...
00:19:42No. Join us for dinner.
00:19:44Great.
00:19:45I'm starving.
00:19:47Great.
00:19:49So how is business in Barcelona?
00:19:51Fantastic. We broke record sales three years in a row.
00:19:54Revenue is up over half a billion now.
00:19:56Congratulations. Your father must be so proud.
00:20:01Wow. Half a billion.
00:20:04What line of work you in?
00:20:05I'm a lawyer.
00:20:06And you?
00:20:07I'm a lawyer.
00:20:08And you?
00:20:09I'm a lawyer.
00:20:10And you?
00:20:11I'm a lawyer.
00:20:12And you?
00:20:13I'm a lawyer.
00:20:14And you?
00:20:15I'm a lawyer.
00:20:16Half a billion.
00:20:17What line of work you in, Todd?
00:20:19TED. It's construction.
00:20:22We're one of the largest construction companies in Spain.
00:20:24Yeah, my mom was an architect. That's why we're family friends.
00:20:28Well, profit margin in construction is pretty low.
00:20:31So you're saying your revenue is $500 million.
00:20:34That means you took down, what, $300 million?
00:20:37Even after taxes, that's...
00:20:38Justin, stop being so rude.
00:20:40No, no. It's fine. It's fine.
00:20:42He's right. We have a long way to go.
00:20:44I'm certain we'll surpass late construction here in no time.
00:20:48What about you, Justin?
00:20:49What type of work are you in?
00:20:57Shit. Justin must feel so embarrassed.
00:21:00Oh, Justin works with me now.
00:21:02He is my assistant architect.
00:21:06That's nice.
00:21:08So, I flew back from Barcelona to take care of some emergency family matters.
00:21:12But I'll be here for a while. It's time.
00:21:14Call me whenever. We need to hang out.
00:21:17Of course.
00:21:18I haven't seen you in, what, a year?
00:21:20A long time.
00:21:21We need to catch up?
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:26Bye, Ted.
00:21:27Bye.
00:21:31Yeah, bye.
00:21:32Bye.
00:21:36Yeah, bye.
00:21:41That's your bestie, huh?
00:21:42Well, we practically grew up together.
00:21:44He is like my brother from another mother.
00:21:46By the way, I know it got a little awkward
00:21:49when Teddy started asking you about your line of business,
00:21:52so I have another proposal.
00:21:54Why don't you join my company?
00:21:56Oh, fuck.
00:21:58No shade to your previous profession.
00:22:01I just think anyone making money with their hard work
00:22:03should be treated with respect.
00:22:07Sophie, the thing is...
00:22:09Just come in for an interview.
00:22:13Please.
00:22:14I think a career change won't hurt you,
00:22:16and it'll help our story.
00:22:18And here is your bill, sir.
00:22:22Just give me a time and a place, boss, and I'll be there.
00:22:25Yay!
00:22:27Shh.
00:22:34No need to be nervous, okay?
00:22:36We're just gonna chat a bit.
00:22:37Sounds good to me.
00:22:38So, do you have your resume on you?
00:22:40I sure do.
00:22:43Done a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:22:45Nothing special.
00:22:46Don't worry.
00:22:47Sophie has already chosen you as her prince charming.
00:22:49I'm pretty sure you've done something.
00:22:57This is incredible.
00:22:59You went to L.I.S.A.A. in Paris?
00:23:02That's correct.
00:23:03You were the chief designer
00:23:05of the reconstruction of Shangri-La, Paris.
00:23:07You got that right, too.
00:23:08And you designed Philharmonie des Paris as well?
00:23:14You're hired.
00:23:23I just got hired at Swift Architecture.
00:23:25I start today.
00:23:26What?
00:23:27Are you trying to blow up my eardrums?
00:23:29But boss, what about late construction?
00:23:31I'm gonna count on you to take care of the company while I'm gone.
00:23:33Okay?
00:23:34Goodbye.
00:23:35Boss.
00:23:37Boss!
00:23:40Take care of what company?
00:23:47Take care of what company?
00:23:50Take care of Tommy.
00:23:51My pet goldfish.
00:23:54Since I'll be working for you now and I'll be super busy,
00:23:57a pet goldfish requires a lot of work.
00:24:01Water changes and everything.
00:24:04Okay.
00:24:05Anyways, come on.
00:24:07I'll give you a ride.
00:24:08Where are we going?
00:24:09Well, I don't want to overwork you on your first day.
00:24:11Let me give you a ride home.
00:24:13My home?
00:24:17This is where you live.
00:24:19Yep, thanks for the ride.
00:24:21I'll catch you later.
00:24:24You can head out now.
00:24:26No worries.
00:24:27Go ahead.
00:24:30You know, I forgot my key.
00:24:32I'll wait for my roomie to get here.
00:24:34You share this place with a roomie.
00:24:38Four.
00:24:39Four roomies.
00:24:40No, no, no.
00:24:41This won't do.
00:24:44Wait.
00:24:45Huh?
00:24:50What brings us here today?
00:24:51Well, we're looking at new houses, obviously.
00:24:53I have my eye on the single family.
00:24:55It's a little bit pricey, though.
00:24:57About $30 million.
00:24:58But the design of Lake Enterprise is stunning
00:25:01and the location could not be any better.
00:25:03Lake Enterprise?
00:25:04Let's go buy you a house.
00:25:06Me?
00:25:08Transportation around here is super convenient.
00:25:11Subway is just around the corner.
00:25:13Excellent school district.
00:25:14And we have a new Maple Plaza opening next year.
00:25:18What's your take on the neighborhood?
00:25:21It's great.
00:25:22Too many pamphlets on this site.
00:25:24Yes, I'll be right back.
00:25:37If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.
00:25:43Hey, sis.
00:25:44House hunting so soon after getting married?
00:25:48That's none of your business.
00:25:49Well, Derek insists on buying me a house.
00:25:51That's right, babe.
00:25:52Whichever one you fancy, I'll buy it for you.
00:25:56The Swift here are the pamphlets you asked for?
00:25:58Oh, I'll take whichever lock she's looking at.
00:26:00Oh.
00:26:01Use this card.
00:26:06Sorry, it's mine now.
00:26:11I don't know.
00:26:12I just have a feeling today is not a good day for you two.
00:26:14What are you, a psychic?
00:26:16This guy is delusional.
00:26:18Hey, let me tell you how this is going to work out for you, compadre.
00:26:22Sorry, sir.
00:26:23Our card processing is down for maintenance.
00:26:27What the fuck?
00:26:29Do you take check?
00:26:32Sorry, our system is down.
00:26:34We won't be able to process any payments today.
00:26:37Forget it.
00:26:38Let's get out of here, then.
00:26:42I guess we'll just have to come back.
00:26:45Miss Swift, our servers are back online.
00:26:47Already?
00:26:48And we have a promotion today.
00:26:53Fifty percent off.
00:26:54Fifty percent off.
00:26:59Deal.
00:27:03Deal.
00:27:07Oh my god.
00:27:08You're kind of adorable when you're happy, huh?
00:27:10Fifteen million?
00:27:11I could buy another one.
00:27:13But how does he have the authority for that kind of promo?
00:27:18You think he's some undercover billionaire?
00:27:21What if he's Mr. Lake?
00:27:23The CEO of Lake Enterprise?
00:27:27He does look quite handsome, by the way.
00:27:30Right?
00:27:32I'm not handsome?
00:27:34Daddy, Sophie took her boy toy to buy a house today.
00:27:37And she had a huge argument with Derek.
00:27:40She knows exactly how to rile me.
00:27:44I bet Derek is pissed.
00:27:46Well, what if I marry Derek?
00:27:52What if I marry Derek?
00:27:55What if I marry Derek?
00:27:58What if I marry Derek?
00:28:01What if I marry Derek and bring the families together?
00:28:05Absolutely not.
00:28:07Their engagement is already a scandal.
00:28:10If you marry Derek, our entire family will be a joke.
00:28:18If only Sophie were as obedient as you.
00:28:25I have no idea what any of this shit means.
00:28:28Derek.
00:28:34Sophie's taking over the company today.
00:28:36I have nothing.
00:28:38Don't worry.
00:28:40I won't let her win.
00:28:59So, today marks the first day of me taking over my mother's company.
00:29:03And I'm very eager to work with you all.
00:29:05Your scandal with Derek has tarnished the company's image.
00:29:08Indeed.
00:29:09And the stock took another hit today.
00:29:11How are you going to address that?
00:29:13This discussion has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:29:15But Derek has conspired with other firms against us.
00:29:19This is all your fault.
00:29:21I don't care who you are.
00:29:23I don't care who you are.
00:29:25Derek has conspired with other firms against us.
00:29:28This is all your fault.
00:29:30I will take care of this.
00:29:32And I can assure you that if I don't turn the company around in six months,
00:29:36I will step down voluntarily.
00:29:40Now, let's get back to work.
00:29:49Patrick.
00:29:50Sophie needs help.
00:29:52What do you need me to do, boss?
00:29:55I have a three-year exclusive deal with Swift Enterprise on my behalf.
00:30:01Mr. and Mrs. Swift.
00:30:03I hear your company's been having some trouble.
00:30:08Our stock's tanking.
00:30:09It's driving me crazy.
00:30:11It's all Sophie's fault.
00:30:13Sophie and I had a tiny misunderstanding.
00:30:16So she rushed into marriage to get back at me.
00:30:19But if she begs me to take her back and apologizes to me,
00:30:24I won't mind marrying her.
00:30:28You've always been a perfect match for Sophie.
00:30:31Once Sophie and I are married,
00:30:34our companies can unite,
00:30:36and we will be unstoppable.
00:30:40Make Sophie divorce him and dump that freeloader for good.
00:30:44I'll make sure Sophie marries you, Derek.
00:30:47All right.
00:30:48I won't take up any more of your time.
00:30:55Sophie, come home right away.
00:30:58It's urgent.
00:31:06What is your emergency?
00:31:08Divorce that loser husband and marry Derek.
00:31:12Now.
00:31:14That's your emergency?
00:31:16Your husband is a loser.
00:31:19Our stocks are tanking.
00:31:21Marry Derek and fix this shit.
00:31:23First of all, don't call my husband a loser.
00:31:26Second of all, your daughter is screwing Derek.
00:31:29So if you think that I'm going to marry him,
00:31:31you're delusional.
00:31:33And lastly, I will fix this.
00:31:35Without the help of that fucking cheater or any of you leeches.
00:31:38If you don't divorce that loser,
00:31:40don't ever come back.
00:31:42You are no daughter of mine.
00:31:46Fine.
00:31:47I won't.
00:31:49You were a horrible husband to mother,
00:31:51so it really doesn't surprise me of how shitty of a dad you are.
00:31:56The three of you are family and I'm just your cash cow.
00:31:58That ends today.
00:32:10Do you want to have a drink with me?
00:32:14Whoa.
00:32:15Having a party, huh?
00:32:18Sorry, I was just settling in.
00:32:19I didn't know you were coming.
00:32:21Yeah, I should probably settle in myself.
00:32:24Wait, really?
00:32:25Yeah, I just cut ties with my family.
00:32:27So, cheers.
00:32:31Want to talk about it?
00:32:33What's there to talk about?
00:32:38Sophie.
00:32:41You don't have to smile all the time.
00:32:43I can be your shoulder to cry on too.
00:32:48Oh, slow down, slow down.
00:32:53No, you're lame.
00:32:54Give me.
00:32:55I think you've had enough.
00:33:05Sophie.
00:33:07Sophie.
00:33:08Fuck.
00:33:09Let's get you some rest.
00:33:10Come on.
00:33:11Come on.
00:33:12Come on.
00:33:13Come on.
00:33:14Come on.
00:33:15Let's get you some rest.
00:33:16Come on.
00:33:27Justin.
00:33:28Oh, my God.
00:33:29Just in time.
00:33:30I made you coffee.
00:33:31What's up?
00:33:32Lake Enterprise just called me and they want to sign a long-term contract with us.
00:33:37This is everything that I needed.
00:33:39So, I'm actually going to go meet them at Lake Enterprise right now.
00:33:42Perfect.
00:33:43I'll wait for you at the office.
00:33:45No, no, no.
00:33:46You're coming with me.
00:33:56Hey, Justin.
00:33:57Come this way with me.
00:34:13Okay.
00:34:39What's the fanciest restaurant you can think of?
00:34:42Olive Garden.
00:34:43Me too.
00:34:49And what are you doing here?
00:34:50That's none of your concern.
00:34:52Mr. Lake.
00:34:55Mr. Lake is not available at the moment, but you can have a seat and wait for him, sir.
00:34:59I know what you're up to.
00:35:01Forget it.
00:35:03Mr. Lake and I already struck up a deal.
00:35:06Oh.
00:35:07You know Mr. Lake?
00:35:11You know Mr. Lake?
00:35:13Of course.
00:35:14We're...
00:35:16Well...
00:35:18Why should I tell you?
00:35:19Oh, come on.
00:35:20You can say it.
00:35:22I don't want to.
00:35:26Mr. Brown, this way please.
00:35:42I can't wait to work with you.
00:35:44That makes two of us.
00:35:51Bathroom.
00:35:52Be right back.
00:36:04Still waiting?
00:36:06Um...
00:36:07Mr. Lake and I actually have to go.
00:36:09Um...
00:36:10Mr. Lake and I actually had a nice chat earlier.
00:36:12Really?
00:36:14Where is he now?
00:36:16Uh, he went to grab a bite.
00:36:20And he didn't invite you?
00:36:22I'm not hungry.
00:36:34Well, best of luck to you.
00:36:40Cheers.
00:36:41I did not expect this project to go so smoothly.
00:36:51What do you want, Derek?
00:36:52I know you got that contract.
00:36:54But trust me.
00:36:55I won't let you win forever.
00:36:57Just you wait.
00:37:00You know what you sound like?
00:37:01A loser.
00:37:05This was just hang up on me?
00:37:07What do you want?
00:37:10Forget Derek.
00:37:12Yeah, I don't want to talk about your ex.
00:37:14Let's talk about us.
00:37:15What's there to talk about?
00:37:18No talking.
00:37:19We're doing.
00:37:32You're really talented.
00:37:34You're really talented.
00:37:36Why did you...
00:37:37Maybe I shouldn't ask too much about his past?
00:37:40Here.
00:37:41Never mind.
00:37:42Okay, so you want this portion elevated right here?
00:37:44Yes.
00:37:45Okay.
00:37:46Good.
00:37:47Sophie.
00:37:48You haven't been home lately.
00:37:49Where have you been?
00:37:50I thought you made it clear I'm no daughter of yours.
00:37:53You're such a brat.
00:37:55This the man you married?
00:38:00That's deceiving.
00:38:01Save it.
00:38:03Sophie.
00:38:04I'm going to tell you one last time.
00:38:07Divorce him at once if you want to save the company.
00:38:10Let me tell you one last time.
00:38:12I am never ever marrying Derek.
00:38:15I would rather die than marry that asshole.
00:38:22Come on, Justin.
00:38:23Let's go.
00:38:26And we just signed the contract with Lake Enterprise.
00:38:29I can save the company without Derek.
00:38:46You won't meet the fire safety protocols on the Maple Plaza project.
00:38:50I made sure of that.
00:38:52You're screwed.
00:38:54You prick.
00:38:56Beg me and I might consider letting you off.
00:39:03I can help with that.
00:39:06How?
00:39:09Just wait and see.
00:39:11Hey, Ted.
00:39:12I'm in trouble.
00:39:21Hey.
00:39:22Hey.
00:39:25Well, make yourself at home.
00:39:27I'll see you later.
00:39:28Bye.
00:39:29Bye.
00:39:30Bye.
00:39:31Bye.
00:39:32Bye.
00:39:33Bye.
00:39:34Bye.
00:39:35Bye.
00:39:36Bye.
00:39:37Bye.
00:39:38Bye.
00:39:39Make yourself at home.
00:39:41What happened?
00:39:42Let me hear it.
00:39:43Well, basically, Derek screwed me.
00:39:45I couldn't meet the fire safety protocols.
00:39:48All right.
00:39:49Let me text my guy.
00:39:50I got you.
00:39:52I'm counting on you, Teddy Bear.
00:39:54I got you, Sophie Bear.
00:40:00Hello?
00:40:01Hi, Ms. Swift.
00:40:02It's Patrick Brown.
00:40:04We sorted out the fire safety issue.
00:40:06That's fantastic.
00:40:09I'm sure our partnership will be a resounding success.
00:40:12Absolutely.
00:40:19Thank you, Teddy Bear.
00:40:21The issue has been sorted.
00:40:23Already?
00:40:24I just texted my guy like two seconds ago.
00:40:26I guess they work fast.
00:40:28Oh, my God.
00:40:30I guess so.
00:40:31Wow.
00:40:35Is that too quick a fix?
00:40:36Is that a bad thing?
00:40:40No.
00:40:54Look, I told you I could help you with the...
00:40:59What the hell are you doing here?
00:41:05What the hell are you doing here?
00:41:07I invited him.
00:41:08He's been a huge help.
00:41:11Could you maybe dress a little bit more appropriate when we have male guests over?
00:41:16Guests?
00:41:17He's...
00:41:18He's my best friend.
00:41:19We've known each other longer than me and you.
00:41:22Anyway, I have good news.
00:41:23The whole fire safety issue...
00:41:25Resolved.
00:41:27I know.
00:41:28You know?
00:41:29Well, Ted fixed it just with one call and it's...
00:41:32It's all sorted.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35I'm the one who fixed it.
00:41:37Okay, hold on.
00:41:39Now, I'm totally confused.
00:41:41Confused?
00:41:42You're doing this on purpose.
00:41:43Justin, why are you being so rude today?
00:41:49What is his problem?
00:41:55Patrick.
00:41:56Why didn't you pick up when I called last night?
00:42:01Look into Ted Bass for me.
00:42:04There you are.
00:42:05I've been looking for you.
00:42:07What can I do for you, boss wife?
00:42:08Well, you've been acting kind of strange since last night.
00:42:11I just wanted to see if you were okay.
00:42:14Miss Ovi...
00:42:16The thing is...
00:42:22Mrs. Green?
00:42:23What's wrong?
00:42:24Miss, your mother's emerald necklace.
00:42:26It's been stolen.
00:42:27I was cleaning your mother's old room today and I couldn't find it.
00:42:30I couldn't find it anywhere.
00:42:31What?
00:42:32I'll be right there.
00:42:35Okay.
00:42:41I thought you weren't coming back here.
00:42:43How did you get in?
00:42:46Did you let her in?
00:42:49This house was paid for by my mother.
00:42:51I can return whenever I want.
00:42:53Where is my mother's emerald necklace?
00:42:57You mean my emerald necklace?
00:42:59I told you not to touch her stuff.
00:43:01Just give it to her, Karen.
00:43:03I don't have it.
00:43:05She must have lost it herself and come back to frame me.
00:43:09Dad, you know the truth.
00:43:11Mom's stuff was in her room.
00:43:12I've never touched it once.
00:43:15But I'm going to ask one more time.
00:43:17Where is my mother's necklace?
00:43:19Fine.
00:43:20I sold it at an auction.
00:43:24If you want it, you can buy it back yourself.
00:43:29Fuck you.
00:43:36Sir, according to my investigation,
00:43:38Karen sold the emerald necklace last month.
00:43:41It was the heirloom of Miss Sophie's late mother.
00:43:43Seems like they haven't learned their lesson.
00:43:45Let's head to the auction.
00:43:47It's time I reveal my true identity.
00:43:53I need for you to help me secure that necklace.
00:43:56I'm going to rub it in her face.
00:43:58Anything for you, babe.
00:44:00You can count on me.
00:44:02Oh, Sophie!
00:44:04You're here to bid on that emerald necklace, right?
00:44:07Poor thing. She's just wasting her time.
00:44:11And look at you.
00:44:13Got all dressed up.
00:44:14Brought your little boy toy with you.
00:44:16But in the end, you'll leave with nothing but tears.
00:44:18You know, you two make the perfect couple.
00:44:21After all...
00:44:23Trash sticks with trash.
00:44:27Indeed. Trash does stick with trash.

00:45:40We're going to face legal repercussions
00:45:42if we can't pay that.
00:45:43Why didn't you tell me this before?
00:45:48Hi, can we please retract our bid?
00:45:53Hi, can we please retract our bid?
00:45:56It's already paid.
00:45:57By who?
00:45:58Justin Lake.
00:46:00That Justin Lake?
00:46:03Yes, miss.
00:46:07It's yours now.
00:46:16Now smile. Hold your head up high.
00:46:18Let's make a bang like so.
00:46:28Perfect.
00:46:32All set?
00:46:33By the way, where did you get fifteen million?
00:46:36You didn't sell yourself, did you?
00:46:38Should I be flattered?
00:46:39Justin, just tell me. Seriously.
00:46:42Why don't you let me show you?
00:46:51What is going on?
00:46:53Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?
00:46:55Moments away now. Come on.
00:46:57Okay. You're so dramatic.
00:47:03Okay, take it off.
00:47:09What is this? Where are we?
00:47:11Come with me. I'll give you the tour.
00:47:14Okay.
00:47:18Welcome back, Mr. Lake.
00:47:22Señorita.
00:47:25Mr. Lake, so you live here?
00:47:28Here and a couple other places, depending on the season.
00:47:32But this place is extra special.
00:47:34The garden is gorgeous.
00:47:37Dad and I designed it together.
00:47:39And my man Al here has been with us for thirty years.
00:47:45Wait, I spent fifteen million buying your home and then gave it to you.
00:47:50Oh, yeah.
00:47:52Are you the Justin Lake?
00:47:55That's right.
00:47:56Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:58I did, but you didn't want to believe me.
00:48:00No, you could have told me formally.
00:48:03Well, allow me to formally introduce myself.
00:48:05God, stop.
00:48:12When the heir to the Lake family reveals his true identity,
00:48:15it tends to stir up drama and chaos.
00:48:18I didn't want that.
00:48:19So I decided to keep my identity a secret.
00:48:22I didn't want that.
00:48:23So I decided to keep my identity a secret.
00:48:26I hope you can forgive me.
00:48:28My head is just spinning a little bit, so...
00:48:31Let me fix that.
00:48:36You know what? I want the house back.
00:48:38I want the money back. I want everything back.
00:48:41Well, I'm your husband, so everything I have is yours.
00:48:44Well, that's more like it.
00:48:47What's that?
00:48:49Let me show you.
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:54Did you paint this?
00:48:56Yeah, I painted it back in college.
00:48:58And it was exhibited just once at my graduation ceremony.
00:49:01Wait, why does this painting look so much like the one Stella submitted for the Monet Award?
00:49:09Oh, thank you for taking my phone.
00:49:11Oh, um, it's Stella. I need a minute, please.
00:49:14Okay.
00:49:18Hey, Stella, what's up?
00:49:19Meet me at the cafe on 3rd.
00:49:21Perfect timing. I was just about to call you anyways.
00:49:39What do you want?
00:49:40Why the rush? Have a drink first.
00:49:45What do you want?
00:49:46Why the rush? Have a drink first.
00:49:49Okay.
00:49:54Go on.
00:49:57You said you wanted to see me. You first.
00:49:59Yeah, I saw your submission for the Monet Prize.
00:50:02Did you really paint it?
00:50:04Of course I did. What are you suggesting?
00:50:06You're still lying.
00:50:08But I know the truth.
00:50:10Oh.
00:50:17Got you, bitch.
00:50:31Sophie.
00:50:32Sophie!
00:50:35Sophie, wake up.
00:50:37Sophie.
00:50:39Hey, hey, it's me. It's me. It's Ted.
00:50:41Can you hear me?
00:50:43Can you see me?
00:50:45Let's get you out of here. Come on.
00:50:47Can you walk?
00:50:52Are you okay?
00:50:53Can you see? Can you open your eyes?
00:50:55What happened?
00:50:57Okay.
00:51:00Let's go.
00:51:02Come on.
00:51:06I'm not sure if I trust you too much right now.
00:51:08Miss Swift is in trouble.
00:51:10Check the headline news. It can't be contained.
00:51:12Sophie Swift was caught publicly intoxicated looking like a complete whore.
00:51:17She was seen with an incredibly attractive man.
00:51:19I sure hope her husband is on social media to see this.
00:51:23What are you doing?
00:51:25Are you out of your mind?
00:51:27She's sleeping. Let's talk outside.
00:51:37You leave her alone. That's my wife.
00:51:39If you're even willing to entertain the rumor that she cheated on you,
00:51:43then you don't deserve her at all.
00:51:45Listen, I know you and Sophie were set up.
00:51:47I know you and Sophie were set up.
00:51:49You don't deserve her at all.
00:51:50Listen, I know you and Sophie were set up.
00:51:53That's why we're still here talking.
00:51:55What's your relationship with my wife?
00:51:57She's my best friend.
00:51:59I've known her a lot longer than you.
00:52:02Your best friend?
00:52:03Have you seen the news? Her reputation is completely damaged because of you.
00:52:07Look, I'll take care of it. All right?
00:52:09How?
00:52:11Because from my point of view, the best thing you can do is stay away from her.
00:52:20You're up.
00:52:22Why are you sleeping here?
00:52:24The doctor suggested you get some rest.
00:52:27I thought it was all a dream.
00:52:30You remember now.
00:52:35Tell me what happened.
00:52:37Where's Ted?
00:52:39He left.
00:52:41You were out cold all night. Did you make a mistake?
00:52:44No.
00:52:46He left.
00:52:48You were out cold all night. Did you expect him to stay over?
00:52:51I need to call him.
00:52:54I'll put her on speaker.
00:52:58Hey Ted, it's Sophie.
00:52:59Sophie, how are you feeling?
00:53:01I've already dispelled the trending headline about us.
00:53:04Trending headline?
00:53:08Why are you talking to my wife?
00:53:10Stop calling and sounding so husky.
00:53:13First of all, I am the one that called Ted.
00:53:16What are you, a little jealous?
00:53:21First of all, I am the one that called Ted.
00:53:24What are you, a little jealous?
00:53:27No.
00:53:30Tell me what happened.
00:53:33Stella called me last night and I just so happened to have something to ask her as well.
00:53:38So I decided to meet her. I just didn't think that she would spike my drink.
00:53:42I'm calling the police and I'm getting my PI on it too.
00:53:44Okay, stop Justin. No.
00:53:46Why? You got hurt, Sophie.
00:53:49I know, but there's one more thing I need to find out from Stella.
00:53:53It's about my mom's death.
00:53:57I never suspected that she died from suicide.
00:54:00And I think her death has something to do with Stella and her mom.
00:54:04Did the police determine your mother's death was suicide?
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:08And unless more evidence is brought forward, the police, they're not going to reopen the investigation.
00:54:13But don't worry, I can handle this.
00:54:15I will help you.
00:54:16Okay, but I need you to take care of yourself and get some rest.
00:54:19Alright?
00:54:29Thank you everyone for gathering here today to celebrate our friend,
00:54:33the Monet Award winner 2024, Stella Swift.
00:54:45Thank you. Thank you. This is such an honor.
00:54:49I did want to take a moment to congratulate my sister, Sophie Swift.
00:54:54She also took part in this competition, but if I'm not mistaken, you got third place, right?
00:55:00And I'm the winner.
00:55:03Well, come on, Sophie. Today's my big day. Have a drink with me.
00:55:08Stop pretending, Stella.
00:55:12You can't hide what you did to my mom, but I can give you a chance to tell me the truth.
00:55:18Everyone knows your mom killed herself. How could it be related to me?
00:55:22If you really think it was me, show me the evidence then.
00:55:25How dare you.
00:55:34Justin.
00:55:36Everything okay here, Miss Stella?
00:55:38Yes. I was just talking to my sister.
00:55:41I just wanted to apologize for what happened at the coffee shop.
00:55:44I received a business call and had to leave early that day.
00:55:48I had no idea that Sophie would do such a thing and such a scandalous act to make headline news.
00:55:59I trust my wife.
00:56:01And the clarification announcement has already gone out to all major media outlets.
00:56:06I'd like to remind you that if anybody wants to play dirty tricks behind our back,
00:56:12you will get what's coming for you.
00:56:14Now, for the artwork and the painting that you were awarded for,
00:56:19by chance was the inspiration drawn from the University of Paris' graduation ceremony five years ago?
00:56:26Mr. Lake, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:56:29Mr. Lake, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:56:36Might I remind you who you're dealing with?
00:56:38The artwork that you were awarded for?
00:56:41It's mine.
00:56:45The artwork that you were awarded for?
00:56:48It's mine.
00:56:50You copied it.
00:56:52Also, I know it was you that set up my wife at the coffee shop.
00:56:55I will not stop until I get justice.
00:56:58Especially if it's her mother. Do you understand?
00:57:09Let's go enjoy the reception, everyone!
00:57:16How about that artwork?
00:57:17Justin, what did you say to Stella?
00:57:21What? Is my wife jealous?
00:57:23Quit messing around.
00:57:25Okay, I heard that you mentioned the graduation exhibition at the University of Paris five years ago.
00:57:30I thought it was just a good opportunity to remind her about a lesson she might have forgot after graduation.
00:57:35And what's that?
00:57:37Copycats don't have nine lives.
00:57:39Justin.
00:57:41What?
00:57:47Justin.
00:57:49What?
00:57:52I don't know, I just...
00:57:54I see you differently now.
00:57:56What happened?
00:58:00Well, you are more handsome.
00:58:06You're more sexy.
00:58:09And adorable.
00:58:13Adorable?
00:58:16About manly?
00:58:19About more masculine?
00:58:26It's all about you, Sophie.
00:58:28I just want to protect you.
00:58:30You shouldn't put yourself in danger for me anymore.
00:58:33I know that's why you met with her that day, right?
00:58:35How did you know that?
00:58:37Because you're my wife.
00:58:39And I'd like to know everything about you.
00:58:43It's my job to protect you.
00:58:45It's my job to protect you.
00:58:48I just want to keep you safe, okay?
00:58:50Okay.
00:59:00Kendall?
00:59:01Sophie, wake up.
00:59:02Mr. Cooper and your father were conspiring in the office this morning, planning to remove you from your position.
00:59:07You need to come back soon.
00:59:11You need to get back soon.
00:59:14What?
00:59:15It's urgent.
00:59:16You need to come back to the company so we can discuss the next step, Sophie.
00:59:20You know what? Send me everything that you've collected on Mr. Cooper and I'll be right there, okay?
00:59:25Morning.
00:59:27Oh, hi.
00:59:28Coffee.
00:59:30Two cream, one sugar, just like you like it.
00:59:34I love it.
00:59:36That's it?
00:59:42Is there something you want to tell me?
00:59:46Justin, I'm...
00:59:50Sophie, whatever it is, just say it. I'll deal with it.
00:59:54I know, but I have to get changed, so I'm going to talk to you later, okay?
01:00:06Patrick, keep an eye on Swift Enterprise for me.
01:00:12Let me know if anything happens.
01:00:17Sophie, two things. Good news or bad news first?
01:00:20Give me the good news first.
01:00:22So, I investigated Mr. Cooper, as you requested, and out of his female subordinates, two were promoted and eight resigned voluntarily.
01:00:31So, I did some digging. I found out, through gossip, that he was engaged in sexual misconduct with female subordinates.
01:00:40Well done. He is such a dickwad tool. Have you found any evidence?
01:00:44That was the bad news I was going to tell you.
01:00:46You know what? Contact those female subordinates and urge them to report to the police and provide them with any legal counsel and cover all the fees.
01:00:53Already did it.
01:00:56Kendall, you are awesome.
01:00:59Okay, let's go.
01:01:00Wait, Sophie. One more thing. That bitch Stella and her mother are here. Things are progressing a little bit faster than we expected.
01:01:07They are waiting in the conference room for us right now. So, just in case, I prepared the documents you may need.
01:01:18It's just funny. They can't wait to kick me out.
01:01:22Okay. Time for a counterattack.
01:01:38For the past two years, Swift Enterprise's financial statements have been a mess. And our market share has rapidly declined. Can someone explain the reason?
01:01:47What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to blame and oust your father and sister from this company?
01:01:53Mr. Cooper, you are the vice president, but I didn't think that you lacked even the most basic professional manners.
01:01:59You always mix business with personal matters. But what I just mentioned is a business matter.
01:02:05You little bitch. Now that you've become the CEO, you dare to be so arrogant towards Mr. Cooper? He's a veteran of the company.
01:02:14I was just as assertive during my first board meeting. So, what's the problem now?
01:02:18Pardon me.
01:02:19Who are you to own shares in the company? Because if you don't, you don't belong here.
01:02:25So, leave. Now.
01:02:28You. How dare you?
01:02:31Mom, are you okay?
01:02:33Security.
01:02:36Don't touch me!
01:02:43Don't touch me!
01:02:46I can walk myself.
01:02:51Sophie, how can you treat my mom like this?
01:02:54This is a board meeting, not a parent-teacher conference. You did properly graduate high school, didn't you?
01:03:03Very well. Let's see how long you last here. Oh, oops. Wait. You must have forgotten. The board decides who's CEO.
01:03:14Have a try, then.
01:03:21I formally propose the removal of Sophie as CEO of Swift Enterprises.
01:03:25Agreed.
01:03:33Swift Enterprises
01:03:44I'm Sheriff Ballard Ryder. I'm looking for Robert Cooper.
01:03:47Sheriff, that's Robert Cooper.
01:03:55Robert Cooper, you're under arrest on several sexual assault charges.
01:03:59Stand up for me, buddy. Come on. Come on. Stand up. There you go.
01:04:02You can use his arms.
01:04:04It's a mistake, man. What the hell is that? It's a mistake. It's a mistake.
01:04:13Mr. Landon, Mr. Hayes, what did you say just now?
01:04:19Right. We can go on to the next topic, then.
01:04:22I've also found evidence of embezzlement within the company.
01:04:25And if she can admit to it voluntarily, I will consider it as her surrendering to the authorities.
01:04:35Stella, did you hear me?
01:04:36Well, why are you asking me?
01:04:38I've got nothing to do with this. Don't pin this on me.
01:04:42Kendall, get her out of here.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Enough. Your sister's still young. You're ruining her life. You're being malicious.
01:04:52All of you, out.
01:05:02I still have nothing to say.
01:05:04Drugging. Embezzlement. Either charge could land you in prison.
01:05:10This is about your mom, isn't it? I did not kill her. It was not me.
01:05:14Then who did it?
01:05:17It was your mom, wasn't it? She had something to do with this.
01:05:21I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't speak, I'm gonna take your case to the authorities.
01:05:26Just give me some time.
01:05:29I will get you the evidence.
01:05:32Good. I'll be waiting.
01:05:48I'll find justice for you, Mom.
01:05:52Okay.
01:06:03It's okay. You can cry.
01:06:06My mom, Justin.
01:06:08I know. I know. You had a big day. Are you moving on?
01:06:14Yeah. It was a good day. I finally did it.
01:06:18And now I can make my mom proud.
01:06:22You did.
01:06:33Yeah, I didn't hear anything. I swear.
01:06:37Totally normal.
01:06:39Also, we should probably eat something, if you want.
01:06:43I know a really good French restaurant, actually, so...
01:06:49Oh, that was fast.
01:06:52Alright, let's go. What are we waiting for?
01:06:59Why is no one else here? Did you book the entire venue?
01:07:04Yeah, I guess I did.
01:07:18I'll be right back.
01:07:19Okay.
01:07:30Um, what?
01:07:39Justin, what is going on here?
01:07:42Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:07:45Thank you. I don't celebrate my birthday, though.
01:07:48I know.
01:07:52It's because your birthday coincides with your mother's death, right?
01:07:56Yes.
01:07:57These flowers are for her.
01:08:02These flowers are for her.
01:08:05It happened 20 years ago, right?
01:08:08I want her to know that you're not alone.
01:08:11I will always be by her side.
01:08:14I think she'd be happy in heaven knowing that.
01:08:17Thank you. Thank you, Justin.
01:08:22Make a wish.
01:08:42Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:08:51Hey, Sophie. It's Ted.
01:08:54Hey, Ted.
01:08:56Thank you. I am feeling better.
01:08:59Yes, I'm actually not home right now. I'm with Justin.
01:09:03Okay.
01:09:05Yeah, I understand.
01:09:06Okay. Bye.
01:09:12Why so happy?
01:09:15Nothing. Just enjoying the evening.
01:09:24Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:09:26You made your choice.
01:09:41Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:09:51Justin, wake up.
01:09:53Hey, wake up.
01:09:54What? What happened?
01:09:56I have to tell you something important.
01:09:58How important?
01:10:00The mornings are usually a really good time for us to share some intimacy.
01:10:04No.
01:10:06Aunt Susan is going to be here.
01:10:09Aunt Susan?
01:10:10Yeah, she's my mom's sister. She's basically the only real family that I have.
01:10:14She sounds lovely. And?
01:10:17Well, she's visiting, but she doesn't know that I'm married.
01:10:22Tell her when she arrives.
01:10:24That's the thing.
01:10:25Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of an enterprise?
01:10:30Why?
01:10:31My Aunt Susan is angry at my father for how he treated my mother,
01:10:34and so she doesn't think that marrying Rich will work well.
01:10:38Plus, she has heart issues, and I don't want to stress her out.
01:10:42Gotcha. I'll just be your stay-at-home husband.
01:10:45Alright.
01:10:50You are going to love Aunt Susan. She's amazing.
01:10:53I'm so excited for you to meet her.
01:10:56Okay, she's here. We can do this.
01:10:58Do you remember what I told you?
01:11:00Smile.
01:11:01Yeah.
01:11:03You got it, boss wife.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:08Hi!
01:11:09Hi, Susan!
01:11:10I missed you!
01:11:12Oh, baby girl, I missed you so much, too.
01:11:16I just got done touring Europe and came right over after getting off the plane.
01:11:22Wait, who's this?
01:11:24Hi, Aunt Susan. I'm Justin.
01:11:27Wait, yes, I forgot introductions.
01:11:29This is Justin, my husband.
01:11:34What?
01:11:36Husband?
01:11:38Sophie, you got married? Since when?
01:11:41This is a big deal. Why didn't you tell me?
01:11:44I was busy with the company business, and I wanted to surprise you.
01:11:49This is a big surprise.
01:11:52You have a good eye. He's handsome.
01:11:56And he looks like a nice guy. Very, very nice guy.
01:11:59Come on, take a seat.
01:12:04So, Justin, may I know what you do for a living?
01:12:10Uh... I...
01:12:14Uh... I...
01:12:23So, Justin, may I know what you do for a living?
01:12:28Uh... I...
01:12:31I'm sorry. I just want to make sure you have enough time to spend with Sophie.
01:12:38She grew up alone for most of her childhood.
01:12:41Usually, I'm not that busy.
01:12:43Actually, I'd like to spend more time with Sophie if possible.
01:12:47Good.
01:12:49Auntie, I actually have a business call, so I'm gonna go, but you guys chat.
01:12:57Justin, I'm glad to see that you support Sophie in her career.
01:13:01She's a workaholic, and often forgets to take good care of herself.
01:13:05She's very hardworking, and actually a really brilliant businesswoman.
01:13:09Are you accustomed to doing all of the laundry and cooking?
01:13:13Uh...
01:13:14Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of, like, Enterprise?
01:13:19Uh... Yeah. Yeah.
01:13:21Well, it's almost dinner time. Do you normally make dinner for Sophie?
01:13:27Yeah. Yeah, I'm great at making food.
01:13:30Great! It's my lucky day. I can't wait to try.
01:13:33How about Sophie's favorite, pastel frito?
01:13:37Great! Yeah, of course.
01:13:50Oh my god, Justin, what are you cooking in here? It smells so good!
01:13:54He's making pastel frito for you.
01:13:56Okay, you need to add salt. And you can't forget about that.
01:14:00Okay. Salt.
01:14:03You look a little unfamiliar with the kitchen.
01:14:06I'm very familiar with this kitchen. I'm in charge. I got this, okay?
01:14:12Though, uh, that is, um, that's sugar.
01:14:15Something wrong?
01:14:16No, um, I just, I want to learn from Justin. He never shares any of his recipes with me.
01:14:21Justin, you shouldn't spoil Sophie so much.
01:14:25As capable as she is, she needs to learn some basic life skills.
01:14:29Got it.
01:14:30Auntie Susan, why don't you share some of your travel stories with me?
01:14:34Oh, I have plenty.
01:14:37Where should I start?
01:14:39On the windows.
01:14:56Wait.
01:14:58What's this?
01:15:00Justin Lake. CEO of Lake Enterprises.
01:15:03Wow.
01:15:04Wait a minute.
01:15:09Um, I'm sorry, I'm the one that got this idea.
01:15:12No, no, no. I'm responsible. It's all my fault. Really.
01:15:31Sophie, I watched you grow up without your mom.
01:15:35And after she passed, you rarely smiled.
01:15:40But today, you're different.
01:15:43You seem so much happier than before.
01:15:46And I believe a big part of it is because of this man.
01:15:49Before, I didn't want you to marry a wealthy man because the way your father drove your mother out of the house.
01:15:56It was a tragedy.
01:15:57It was a tragedy.
01:15:58I know, Auntie, but Justin is nothing like my dad.
01:16:01Well, I can see that in the smile on your face.
01:16:04And the way he treats you. He genuinely likes you.
01:16:08I can see that he's going to bring you happiness.
01:16:11Thank you, Auntie.
01:16:13And Justin, Sophia can be a bit stubborn at times, but she's a big softy inside.
01:16:20You treat her well.
01:16:22Auntie, I will love Sophia with all my heart.
01:16:28Mom, that bitch Sophie is trying to reopen the case on her mother's death.
01:16:34It's been five years already. She'll never find out.
01:16:39But Justin Lake, the CEO of Lake Enterprises, the most powerful and richest man in town, is freaking helping her with the investigation.
01:16:46Hmm.
01:16:49We should strike first, then.
01:16:52Yes, we should.
01:16:57She's here.
01:17:07Turn off the cameras and follow the plan.
01:17:20Stop!
01:17:29Yeah?
01:17:30Boss, Miss Sophie's been abducted.
01:17:34Call my security detail and call the police.
01:17:38We need to rescue her.
01:17:39Tell me the address now.
01:17:47Bitch!
01:17:51Sophie Swift.
01:17:54You have nowhere to run.
01:17:57No one will protect you now.
01:18:06Sign it.
01:18:08You won't get away with this.
01:18:11No one's going to know once you're dead.
01:18:14Okay, I will sign it, but you have to answer me one question.
01:18:17Spit it out.
01:18:19Why did you kill my mom?
01:18:22Your mother's heart condition relapsed one day.
01:18:25I accidentally switched the medication.
01:18:30Who knew she was going to die?
01:18:33Oh, but you don't have to worry about missing her too much, because I'm going to send you to her very soon.
01:18:39Justin, no!
01:18:41Justin, no!
01:18:48Justin, no!
01:18:51What's happening?
01:18:53I didn't do anything!
01:18:57Justin, are you okay?
01:18:59You okay?
01:19:01Leave me alone!
01:19:05Justin, you're bleeding.
01:19:08Oh, my God.
01:19:10Justin?
01:19:12Justin, Patrick, please help me take him to the hospital, please.
01:19:15Justin.
01:19:17Please stay awake, Justin, please.
01:19:19I'm sorry.
01:19:26Doctor said he'll be okay.
01:19:28You should go home and get some rest too.
01:19:30Yeah.
01:19:31Karen and Stella have been arrested.
01:19:33It's all over.
01:19:34We can relax now.
01:19:36I need to be here for him.
01:19:37I'm not going anywhere.
01:19:39You shouldn't be anywhere near him.
01:19:44I'm sorry, who are you?
01:19:48I'm Justin Lake's mother.
01:19:50Oh, Mrs. Lake, hi, I'm Sophie Swift.
01:19:52It's nice to meet you.
01:19:56I'm sorry about Justin.
01:20:01I normally don't interfere in my son's personal affairs.
01:20:05Not until I met you.
01:20:07You're nothing but trouble.
01:20:09What have I done to Justin?
01:20:11There must be some misunderstanding.
01:20:13Do not disturb my son's rest.
01:20:17Let's talk somewhere more private, hmm?
01:20:24Now.
01:20:29Okay.
01:20:32Ten million dollars.
01:20:34Leave my son.
01:20:39I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake, but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:20:42You may not be a gold digger,
01:20:44but trouble certainly follows you wherever you go.
01:20:47I will never accept you into the Lake family.
01:20:50Mrs. Lake, I don't need your money.
01:20:53Please, I love Justin.
01:20:55Love?
01:20:58You stupid, stupid girl.
01:21:01Fine.
01:21:03You don't want money?
01:21:06I have another offer.
01:21:08One you cannot refuse.
01:21:28I know your Aunt Susan has heart issues.
01:21:30Only the top specialist in Paris can cure her,
01:21:33but he isn't taking any new patients.
01:21:35He happens to be my dear friend.
01:21:37I can help you if you leave my son.
01:21:40So who do you love more, Sophie?
01:21:42Susan or Justin?
01:21:48Kendall, what's wrong?
01:21:49Aunt Susan fainted.
01:21:50I just found out when I arrived at your house.
01:21:52What?
01:21:53I'll be right there.
01:22:05Don't move Aunt Susan, okay?
01:22:08Okay, perfect.
01:22:09Now keep smiling, okay?
01:22:19Miss Swift, Justin still doesn't want to sign the divorce paper.
01:22:22It's been three years and he still keeps asking where you are.
01:22:25Are you sure you want to avoid him for the rest of your life?
01:22:28Relax, he's not going to find us.
01:22:30His mom already sent me up somewhere else.
01:22:32He's not going to track me.
01:22:34Besides, there's no chance between us.
01:22:35It's just a pipe dream.
01:22:37Fine.
01:22:38Take care of yourself and Aunt Susan.
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss you too.
01:22:45Bye.
01:22:57Is this yours?
01:23:04Is this yours?
01:23:08Are you ignoring me or planning your escape again, wife?
01:23:13How did you...
01:23:21What about your mom?
01:23:22Well, it's taken three years, but I finally convinced her.
01:23:25I told her that if I couldn't be with you, I wouldn't be with anybody else.
01:23:28I won't let anything come between us again.
01:23:31Do you remember?
01:23:32This is where we first met years ago.
01:23:34Years ago?
01:23:37I believe you offered an American man some money.
01:23:40He was just robbed and verbally assaulted by a French man.
01:23:45It's you.
01:23:47It's me, your dearest husband.
01:23:55That's my girl.
01:24:10I love you.
01:24:15I love you.
01:24:20I love you.
01:24:25I love you.
01:24:55I love you.
01:25:25I love you.
