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