00:00:00Because I know you told me she's a poor orphan, but you didn't tell me she's also trailer
00:00:24trash.
00:00:25Funny.
00:00:26He didn't tell me his new girlfriend was a slut, either.
00:00:29Crap, Maya.
00:00:30He called.
00:00:31We're here.
00:00:32What do you want?
00:00:33I just don't want a two-timing asshole in my life anymore.
00:00:36Here's the bill for everything you owe me.
00:00:38Tuition, half the rent, expenses.
00:00:42$25,750.75.
00:00:46How pitted can you be?
00:00:48Very.
00:00:49But, just because I don't want to see either of your faces ever again, $25,000 were called
00:00:54even.
00:00:55You've become such a greedy skank.
00:00:56Me?
00:00:57Greedy?
00:00:58You're the one who cheated on me after mooching off me for years.
00:01:02Hey.
00:01:05Maya, please tell me the numbers you're punching in aren't for Brooks.
00:01:09It's just for him to stay in school.
00:01:11You know how he can stay in school?
00:01:12As if he gets a job.
00:01:13I mean, why is it up to you to get him through law school anyway?
00:01:18Maya, are you okay?
00:01:21Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:23I'm just slightly headed.
00:01:26You're selling blood?
00:01:27On top of working three side hustles?
00:01:29Are you crazy?
00:01:30Liz, I'm fine.
00:01:31It's just for him to stay in law school.
00:01:33Please don't tell anyone.
00:01:35I supported you for five years, Brooks.
00:01:37I put you through law school.
00:01:39I believed in you.
00:01:40I loved you.
00:01:41And how do you repay me?
00:01:42By crawling into her bed?
00:01:43Don't play the victim card.
00:01:45I didn't ask you to do all that.
00:01:46Oh, my God.
00:01:48Oh, my God.
00:01:50You think Brooks will stay with you for $25,000?
00:01:53You're so desperate.
00:01:55How's $30,000?
00:01:57A little extra just for you?
00:01:59Money can't buy you class, but now you can try.
00:02:03Why?
00:02:04It's not like I work for you.
00:02:06Is that so?
00:02:08There you go.
00:02:12Now kneel down on the ground and pick it up,
00:02:14like the little desperate peasant girl you are.
00:02:17Pick it up.
00:02:20For what?
00:02:21You'll get your pour on me?
00:02:26Maya, apologize right now.
00:02:28Sorry.
00:02:30I heard you were lactose intolerant.
00:02:32Don't.
00:02:33People are watching.
00:02:37This is far from over.
00:02:41Ethan Armstrong, I have had it with you.
00:02:44You promised me a wedding today.
00:02:46Grandma, it's not my fault.
00:02:48She never showed up.
00:02:49Oh, please.
00:02:51Like I don't know you're still holding out
00:02:53on your childhood love, Stella Everett.
00:02:56Ethan, it's been 17 years.
00:02:59It's time to move on, to get married.
00:03:02I completely agree.
00:03:11Baby, there you are.
00:03:13What?
00:03:15Remember we were supposed to meet Grandma today?
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:22I'm your future granddaughter-in-law.
00:03:25She reminds me of Stella.
00:03:30I'll always find you.
00:03:34It's so nice to meet you.
00:03:36Maya.
00:03:37Maya Moore.
00:03:39You didn't tell your grandma about me?
00:03:41I wanted to surprise her.
00:03:43And what a wonderful surprise it is.
00:03:46So, what time are you two getting married today?
00:03:50Can we play along?
00:03:52Right now.
00:03:54Right, right now?
00:03:57Yep.
00:03:58Oh, that's wonderful.
00:04:01I always thought there was something romantic
00:04:03about eloping to a courthouse.
00:04:06Definitely.
00:04:08I like him.
00:04:09I guess he is kind of hot.
00:04:12Congratulations.
00:04:17Mr. Armstrong, do you know any good divorce lawyers?
00:04:22Thank you so much for your help.
00:04:24Maya, is it?
00:04:27Yeah, Maya.
00:04:30Or I could call you Mrs. Armstrong.
00:04:33What?
00:04:34Do you mind if we keep this thing going?
00:04:36Because my grandma is going to be on me like a hawk.
00:04:42Oh yeah, I almost forgot.
00:04:44This is for all your troubles.
00:04:45Passcode is six zeros.
00:04:47And it would be way more convincing if you moved in with me.
00:04:52I'm sorry.
00:04:54What?
00:04:55Oh, I didn't even ask.
00:04:56Do you have a boyfriend?
00:04:58Not anymore.
00:04:59He's dead to me.
00:05:00Perfect.
00:05:03I have to go.
00:05:05I'll talk to you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:05:11Wait, when are we getting divorced?
00:05:16Hello, Ethan, my boy.
00:05:18Mr. Everett.
00:05:19You ever going to call me grandpa?
00:05:21You practically lived at my house when you were a kid.
00:05:23Mr. Everett, it seems more appropriate now that we're going to be working together.
00:05:27Are you telling me that the Armstrong-Everett merger went through?
00:05:32How did you ever convince your grandma to get those board votes that she needed?
00:05:36I gave her what she wanted.
00:05:39I got married.
00:05:43Married?
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:45To a great girl.
00:05:46That's just great.
00:05:47I didn't think you'd ever get over Stella's disappearance, but I'm glad you did, son.
00:05:57Well, I want you to have a good life.
00:05:59Thanks, grandpa.
00:06:01Well, I guess we'll discuss this more when I see you at the office.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:11My beautiful granddaughter.
00:06:13I can't believe it's been 17 years since you disappeared.
00:06:25So, did you take care of that cheating rat and his Minnie Mouse?
00:06:28Of course.
00:06:30I've seen that bitch's face when I threw a coffee in it.
00:06:35Maya Moore.
00:06:37I don't know how you find the time to gossip when your KPI is in the toilet.
00:06:40We want an interview with the CEO of Armstrong Enterprises.
00:06:43Make it happen or you're fired.
00:06:45Mr. Armstrong is the youngest tycoon on Wall Street.
00:06:48Even the New York Times needs months in advance to get an interview with him.
00:06:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:52Did anyone hear me ask Liz for her opinion?
00:06:55You have 72 hours.
00:06:57Oh, and there are some boxes in the storage closet in case you want to get a head start in clearing out your desk.
00:07:08Oh, my God.
00:07:10That's my husband.
00:07:12Oh, my God, that's him.
00:07:14That's my husband.
00:07:15Mr. Armstrong is known for being a dick in interviews.
00:07:17I mean, what did you do to piss the old witch off?
00:07:20I didn't do anything.
00:07:23Teresa, you have to kick her out of the company.
00:07:25Maya Moore is ruining my life.
00:07:27Oh, don't you worry, pumpkin.
00:07:29I'll deal with her.
00:07:30Thank you, auntie.
00:07:31Anything for my favorite niece.
00:07:41Miss me already?
00:07:42You're the Ethan Armstrong?
00:07:45Why didn't you say anything?
00:07:46You never asked.
00:07:47Is something wrong?
00:07:48No.
00:07:50Well, I do have a small favor to ask you.
00:07:54A big favor.
00:07:56You're my wife.
00:07:57There's no such thing as a favor between us, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:01Well, the publication I work for would like to invite you to do an interview with us.
00:08:08I am a very busy man.
00:08:12I am a very busy man.
00:08:15Oh, no, of course.
00:08:17It's impossible to get an interview with you for good reason, obviously.
00:08:21Maya, relax.
00:08:22I'm just playing with you.
00:08:23Of course I'll do it.
00:08:25That's it?
00:08:27No need to think it over?
00:08:29What's there to think about?
00:08:31You're my wife.
00:08:32If you ask, I'm there.
00:08:34Well, that's very kind.
00:08:37I'll see you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:44I could get used to this whole marriage thing.
00:08:47What do you want?
00:08:49I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:08:53I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:08:57Maya, you can't just lie to save your sorry ass.
00:09:00Did I just hear something about an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong?
00:09:04Yes.
00:09:05I set it up and he said yes.
00:09:07Family connections, you know.
00:09:09Wow, I knew it was a good idea to hire a model.
00:09:11Wait, you got us the interview?
00:09:13I did, sir.
00:09:15Have you ever interviewed anyone before?
00:09:17Oh, I'm afraid she's not experienced enough.
00:09:19I'll do it.
00:09:20After all, as we just said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:09:23I run in these circles.
00:09:25Well, you may be a Baldwin, but Amour just got us the interview.
00:09:27Do you think you can handle it?
00:09:29I'd be honored.
00:09:31Settled then.
00:09:33I'll see you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:09:35Maya, you can't just lie to save your sorry ass.
00:09:37I set it up and he said yes.
00:09:39I'd be honored.
00:09:41Settled then.
00:09:42Thank you, Mr. Cole.
00:09:44I will not let you down.
00:09:45No problem.
00:09:46Why did you do that?
00:09:48What?
00:09:49Tell the truth?
00:10:00Here.
00:10:01Questions for the interview.
00:10:04What about the questions I handed in yesterday?
00:10:06Those questions weren't approved.
00:10:08Mr. Cole would like you to use that draft.
00:10:19Mr. Armstrong is here.
00:10:39Hello, Mr. Armstrong.
00:10:42I'm Maya Moore.
00:10:44Have we met before?
00:10:48Have we met before?
00:10:50I think we might have.
00:10:53I'll be live-streaming our interview today.
00:10:56Shall we start?
00:10:58Let's do it.
00:11:01So, Mr. Armstrong, people have been speculating that you've been single all these years because...
00:11:08you like men.
00:11:10What the hell is wrong with her?
00:11:12We're a serious financial magazine and she's acting like we're TMZ.
00:11:15She's so unprofessional.
00:11:17Well, then.
00:11:21I have a little secret for you.
00:11:25I actually just got married to an incredible woman.
00:11:31Did you hear that?
00:11:32He just got married.
00:11:33Maya might have just scored the biggest exclusive ever.
00:11:38How many relationships have you been in?
00:11:44Mr. Cole, our followers are growing like crazy.
00:11:47What?
00:11:49This is outstanding.
00:11:52Thank you so much for your time today, Mr. Armstrong.
00:11:58I'll pick you up after work, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:12:01That was outstanding, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:04Congratulations on your marriage.
00:12:06You should really thank Miss Moore.
00:12:08It was an honor.
00:12:09Of course. You will be getting a raise.
00:12:11Right this way, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:15What the hell were those questions today?
00:12:17Oh, I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?
00:12:19I don't speak sluts.
00:12:21Stop picking on me. I'm serious.
00:12:23Or it will be war.
00:12:25Or it will be war.
00:12:37What do you want, Pete?
00:12:38Come on. I raised you for ten years. I gave you my last name.
00:12:42The least you can do is call me Dad.
00:12:44Fine. What do you want, Dad?
00:12:46I want to know why you're such a fucking bitch.
00:12:48Huh? You broke off with Brooks right after he became a lawyer and started making money?
00:12:52He cheated on me.
00:12:53I don't give a flying fuck.
00:12:55Now, you come down to the parking lot right now.
00:13:06What's going on?
00:13:07Hey, do you remember when I first found you?
00:13:09Such a gravely little orphan in the middle of nowhere. Huh?
00:13:12Wait, but I took you in.
00:13:14Don't you think it's time to get a little bit of return on my investment?
00:13:18Investment?
00:13:20What are you talking about?
00:13:21Shut up. Just shut up.
00:13:23Okay, I get it. You don't want Brooks.
00:13:26Remember Leon? I still owe him a hundred grand.
00:13:29Okay? He said he will waive it if I bring you to him.
00:13:35Are you serious? You're going to sell your own daughter to the mob?
00:13:38What kind of father are you?
00:13:40Really, now? I'm your fucking dad. Please. Okay?
00:13:42Huh? That's the least you can do for my trouble.
00:13:44Now, take her in the car.
00:13:46Sir, something's wrong.
00:13:48They said Mrs. Armstrong had left, but when I checked the security tapes,
00:13:51I think she's been kidnapped.
00:13:53Call my security team and find Maya. Now.
00:14:00There's my daughter, as promised.
00:14:02Miss Leon.
00:14:04Good. Deal's a deal.
00:14:07Look at you.
00:14:11The big city's been real nice to you, hasn't it?
00:14:15Touch me and I'll kill you.
00:14:17Mmm, feisty.
00:14:19I like that.
00:14:22Fucking bitch!
00:14:26Hey!
00:14:30Hey!
00:14:32Hey!
00:14:33Hey!
00:14:34Hey!
00:14:36Get off my wife!
00:14:49Who the hell are you?
00:14:53That girl belonged to me!
00:14:55Shut him up!
00:14:57You okay?
00:15:00You hurt?
00:15:01No, I'm okay.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:12Now, we're even.
00:15:15Hey, hey.
00:15:17It's okay.
00:15:18I got you now.
00:15:36Do you want to talk about it?
00:15:40You don't have to.
00:15:42No, it's...
00:15:43It's okay.
00:15:46When I was ten years old,
00:15:48I was found in the middle of nowhere with no memory.
00:15:56Hey.
00:15:57You okay?
00:15:59You like some of this?
00:16:00Pete Moore found me.
00:16:02I couldn't even remember my real name.
00:16:04So he tried to find my family and couldn't.
00:16:10So he named me Maya and he raised me himself.
00:16:14But as you can see today, he never loved me.
00:16:18Not once in 17 years.
00:16:2017 years?
00:16:22Yeah.
00:16:2417 years in June.
00:16:35We need to do some digging into Maya's foster father.
00:16:39And set up a meeting with Mr. Everett.
00:16:41We need to talk about his granddaughter.
00:16:45Let me go! I didn't do nothing!
00:16:49Shut up.
00:16:51You touched someone who's not yours.
00:16:53What the fuck?
00:16:54Pete said no one was gonna come looking for that bitch!
00:16:57Make it known, scumbag.
00:16:59She's with me now.
00:17:00No one.
00:17:02She's with me now.
00:17:03No one touches her.
00:17:09Tell me everything you know about Maya's foster father.
00:17:12Pete?
00:17:13There's nothing to tell!
00:17:15Wait, wait, wait!
00:17:16I don't know, he's just a lowlife.
00:17:18We work in the same circles.
00:17:20Which is?
00:17:22It's petty crimes, boss.
00:17:24Low level, scamming old ladies and shit like that.
00:17:27Why did he adopt Maya?
00:17:28Well, shit if I know!
00:17:30I don't know, I don't know!
00:17:31He just showed up one day with a new kid and a new car.
00:17:35A new car?
00:17:36The kind he couldn't afford!
00:17:37That's all I know, I swear!
00:17:41Take care of him.
00:17:42Wait!
00:17:43Let me go!
00:17:44I told you everything you wanted to know!
00:17:46Yeah, but you touched my wife.
00:17:48I can't let that go.
00:17:53Okay.
00:17:54Come on, what the hell, huh?
00:17:56He's not talking, boss.
00:17:57Look, there is no story.
00:17:59I found the girl, I took her in.
00:18:01I mean, I'm just a nice guy.
00:18:02A nice guy who sold his daughter?
00:18:05Look, I know I'm not a saint, but...
00:18:08I mean...
00:18:09Who the hell are you to stick your nose into my business anyway?
00:18:12I'm Maya's family now.
00:18:15Leon said that you showed up with Maya in a car you couldn't afford.
00:18:18How did you get in?
00:18:20I can't remember.
00:18:24Just...
00:18:25Your ride's here.
00:18:26Your ride's here.
00:18:27Oh, no. Oh, come on.
00:18:28Some time in a cell might do you some good.
00:18:31Jog your memory.
00:18:32We can talk this out, man.
00:18:33Huh?
00:18:36If you suddenly remember how you found Maya, give me a call.
00:18:39But never talk to Maya again.
00:18:41Okay.
00:18:51Ethan, is this your house?
00:18:54Our house, if you want.
00:18:59You're bleeding.
00:19:01It's not mine.
00:19:13Oh, good. You're both here.
00:19:15Since I didn't get a chance to give you a wedding present,
00:19:18I brought you a little something.
00:19:19Grandma, you've done too much already.
00:19:21Oh, nonsense.
00:19:23Nothing is too much for my granddaughter-in-law.
00:19:27Now, I'm going to go and make us some tea.
00:19:32Grandma likes you a lot.
00:19:35Nothing gets you ready for bed like some peppermint tea.
00:19:41And some aphrodisiac.
00:19:44I'm going to be having some great grandbabies very soon.
00:19:54Are you sure you want me to stay here?
00:19:57I could just take an Uber home.
00:19:59No. Stay. It's late.
00:20:02Are you sure you're feeling okay?
00:20:06You look like you have a fever.
00:20:07I'm fine. I just need to throw some cold water on my face.
00:20:11I'll be alright.
00:20:13Have a good night.
00:20:19Grandma? Hello?
00:20:21Grandma? Hello?
00:20:23What's wrong with the door?
00:20:26It's Grandma. She...
00:20:28I'll lock this in here.
00:20:30She...
00:20:31I'll lock this in here.
00:21:01Are you sure you're not sick?
00:21:05You feel kind of hot.
00:21:10Do I?
00:21:17Um, I'm sorry.
00:21:19I think Grandma put something in my tea.
00:21:22I'm just going to wash my face and cool off.
00:21:30What are you doing?
00:21:32I'm sorry.
00:21:58Oh my gosh. Is that a Serrano?
00:22:00Serrano?
00:22:01I don't know. I got it as a gift.
00:22:04As if anyone would give you a $20,000 bag.
00:22:07It's probably some cheap fake you plucked out of the same dumpster you came from.
00:22:11I'd be careful, Ms. Baldwin.
00:22:12You know, jealousy ages people.
00:22:14Or maybe it already has.
00:22:16You really know how to run your mouth, Ms. Moore.
00:22:18Not for very much longer.
00:22:20Mr. Armstrong just bought our journal.
00:22:22Wait, what?
00:22:23He's going to get you back for that interview.
00:22:25If I were you, I'd quit now.
00:22:27Speaking of the devil, looks like our new boss is here.
00:22:57Ms. Moore, Mr. Armstrong would like to see you.
00:23:05You wanted to see me, sir?
00:23:10Sir?
00:23:11That's not what you called me last night.
00:23:17I am so sorry, sir.
00:23:19I'm sorry.
00:23:20I'm sorry.
00:23:21I'm sorry.
00:23:22I'm sorry.
00:23:23I'm sorry.
00:23:24I'm sorry.
00:23:25I am so sorry, sir, that Maya just barged in here so rudely.
00:23:29It hurts me to say this, but she's become a liability to the company.
00:23:32And I think she should leave permanently.
00:23:37Tell me, how is she a liability?
00:23:39Well, she humiliated you in that interview, sir.
00:23:42You think I should be embarrassed?
00:23:44No, no, no.
00:23:45You came off very well.
00:23:47But, um, Maya, she also disrespects her superiors.
00:23:51And she bosses her colleagues around.
00:23:53She really is just poisoning the company.
00:23:55This sounds more like Ms. Baldwin's introduction.
00:23:57You're a Baldwin?
00:23:59Yes.
00:24:00Yes, I am.
00:24:01Well, I've heard enough.
00:24:03You're fired.
00:24:06You hear that?
00:24:07Why don't you go gather your things, and don't let the door hit your trailer trash ass on the way out.
00:24:11I was talking to you, not her.
00:24:17What? Wait, no.
00:24:18This is a mistake.
00:24:19Why would you...
00:24:20I don't owe you an explanation.
00:24:22You're not worth my time.
00:24:24I'm a Baldwin.
00:24:25And what's a Baldwin compared to an Armstrong?
00:24:31Come get Ms. Baldwin out of here.
00:24:35Savannah was right.
00:24:36You really are a nasty little bitch.
00:24:38Wait, how do you know Savannah?
00:24:41Wait, how do you know Savannah?
00:24:44She's my niece.
00:24:45Baldwin's stick together.
00:24:47I see.
00:24:48I can smell the junkyard you both came out of right now.
00:24:50This is a mistake.
00:24:51She's just some sort of stray dog off the farm.
00:24:53She's nobody.
00:24:54I'm a Baldwin.
00:24:56A Baldwin.
00:25:00And what's a Baldwin compared to an Armstrong?
00:25:03Hmm?
00:25:04Mrs. Armstrong?
00:25:06Not in the office.
00:25:10Okay.
00:25:11We'll wait for it tonight.
00:25:15So who is this Savannah, anyway?
00:25:18She's my ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend.
00:25:21He left me after I put him through law school for five years.
00:25:25You don't have to worry about him anymore.
00:25:27I think you've moved on to something...
00:25:30better.
00:25:31And...
00:25:32bigger.
00:25:34You're not supposed to kiss at the office.
00:25:36We're not kissing.
00:25:39So Armstrong, I really need you to go into your next meeting.
00:25:43You know Mr. Everett doesn't like to wait.
00:25:46Everett?
00:25:49Everett?
00:25:51Are you familiar with the Everetts?
00:25:54Everyone knows the Everett Corporation, right?
00:25:58Right.
00:26:00There you go.
00:26:01Office.
00:26:03I'll see you later.
00:26:16You're late.
00:26:17I was chasing Natalie.
00:26:18Oh, some new contracts?
00:26:20No, about your granddaughter.
00:26:25Did you find Stella?
00:26:30Did you find Stella?
00:26:31Well, it's not for sure, but I really think...
00:26:33Okay, just stop right there. It's enough.
00:26:36How many years have I held on to the hope that we'd find Stella, huh?
00:26:40Wanting to be disappointed again and again.
00:26:43This time could be different.
00:26:46You know, I've met with nearly a hundred women.
00:26:48Every one of them swearing they were my granddaughter.
00:26:50And each time, I say to myself, this could be it.
00:26:54You know, I'll find Stella again.
00:26:56Only to realize that it was just another person trying to trick me
00:26:59so they could get their hands on the Everett Fortune.
00:27:03You really think I would try to trick you?
00:27:06I thought you trusted me.
00:27:08Of course I do.
00:27:10Well, I practically raised you.
00:27:13For a long time, I even...
00:27:15I thought you'd eventually be my grandson-in-law.
00:27:20I just can't keep getting my hopes up, kid.
00:27:22You know, my heart won't take it.
00:27:24But...
00:27:25Nathan, just please, okay?
00:27:27You've moved on, kid.
00:27:29I guess it's time for me to move on, too.
00:27:32The timelines can't be a coincidence.
00:27:37Fine.
00:27:38Yeah, fine.
00:27:39Geez.
00:27:40No more of this.
00:27:43Hey, let's...
00:27:44Let's talk about your lovely new wife, alright?
00:27:46How about that?
00:27:48Yeah.
00:27:49I think you two should meet.
00:28:03I just got off.
00:28:05You said not at the office.
00:28:09And we're not at the office.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:34Oh.
00:28:35Look what time it is.
00:28:36Don't you know Ethan has to go to work?
00:28:39And where's breakfast?
00:28:40Is this how you serve your husband?
00:28:42I'm sorry, who are you?
00:28:44I'm your mother-in-law.
00:28:46But not for long.
00:28:47For a nasty little gold digger like you,
00:28:49money talks.
00:28:51Tell me how much you want to leave my son,
00:28:53and I will give it to you.
00:28:56Ma'am, I didn't marry Ethan for money.
00:28:58And if you have a problem with our marriage,
00:28:59it's Ethan you should be talking to, not me.
00:29:02How dare you talk to me like that?
00:29:04You don't belong here.
00:29:06The only one who doesn't belong here
00:29:08is you, mother.
00:29:10Ethan,
00:29:11you are the sole heir
00:29:13to the Armstrongs.
00:29:14You cannot marry a woman like this.
00:29:17You don't even know what kind of cave
00:29:19she crawled out from under.
00:29:20No, I'm not going to have this.
00:29:22You two are going to get divorced today.
00:29:26You two are going to get divorced today.
00:29:28No, we're not.
00:29:30I am your mother.
00:29:32You will not choose some whore over me.
00:29:35What right do you have to call yourself a mother?
00:29:38You gave birth to me and then you flew off to Europe.
00:29:40Mr. Everett and the nanny raised me.
00:29:42Ethan, I may not have been able to be there for you,
00:29:46but I am here now.
00:29:48And I am trying to protect our family.
00:29:52My family is just Maya and me,
00:29:54and it doesn't include you.
00:30:00Maya and I are going to work.
00:30:02And mother?
00:30:03Don't come back.
00:30:09I'm sorry about my mother.
00:30:11I hate that she hurt you.
00:30:14I'm fine.
00:30:17I'm actually more worried about you.
00:30:20Sounds like she wasn't around when you needed her to be.
00:30:23It worked out.
00:30:26My dad passed when I was young,
00:30:27but I knew he loved me.
00:30:30And I always had Mr. Everett.
00:30:34I guess we're both orphans in a way.
00:30:36I guess we're both orphans in a way.
00:30:41But we have each other now.
00:30:47Did you ever try to find your real family?
00:30:52Did you ever try to find your real family?
00:30:55Pete filed a police report when he first found me,
00:30:57but no one ever came for me.
00:30:59As I got older, I thought I would look myself,
00:31:01but I had zero leads.
00:31:04It just never seemed worth it to get my hopes up.
00:31:07I understand.
00:31:10I gotta make a phone call.
00:31:12You go inside, and I'll be right there.
00:31:27Hey.
00:31:29I need you to check in on a police report.
00:31:32Have you got a chance to look this up?
00:31:35Oh my God, is that the Helena Jones?
00:31:37The famous actress?
00:31:42This is Helena Jones,
00:31:43a long-time friend of the family.
00:31:45She and Ethan have known one another for nearly 20 years.
00:31:50This is Helena Jones.
00:31:53Maya Moore.
00:31:55It's nice to meet you.
00:31:56Sorry, I just washed my hands.
00:31:59Oh.
00:32:00I'm Ethan's mother,
00:32:01and I'd like you all to meet his fiancée, Helena Jones.
00:32:06And let this be a friendly reminder to all you gold diggers
00:32:10trying to claw your way into high class.
00:32:15Are you okay?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17I'm gonna go grab something.
00:32:29I know about you and Ethan.
00:32:33I know about you and Ethan.
00:32:37And I've always liked Ethan.
00:32:39I mean, me and Ethan would have been married a long time ago
00:32:42if my acting career wasn't just getting started.
00:32:45Well, that was your choice.
00:32:47That has nothing to do with me.
00:32:49Yeah, but now that my career's really taken off,
00:32:52and I'm on the A-list,
00:32:53my PR team,
00:32:55I mean, I,
00:32:56think that it's the perfect time to get married.
00:32:59Ethan and I will be together soon.
00:33:02Very soon.
00:33:07The melodrama.
00:33:11Wait!
00:33:12No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:33:13Please!
00:33:14Somebody help me!
00:33:27Now that Helena has agreed to marry you,
00:33:29you can finally divorce that woman.
00:33:31And don't worry,
00:33:32we will get you the best attorneys.
00:33:34Ethan, please don't be mad at me that I made you wait so long.
00:33:38I've never wanted to marry you.
00:33:42Don't tell me you're still hung up on Stella Everett.
00:33:44You were obsessed with her when we were kids.
00:33:47Ethan, dear,
00:33:48Stella would have made a perfect match for you,
00:33:50but it's just not possible.
00:33:52Helena is the next best thing.
00:33:54This has nothing to do with Stella.
00:33:56Maya is,
00:33:57and will always be my wife.
00:33:59Oh.
00:34:00Is that so?
00:34:02Where is she now, then?
00:34:04Somebody!
00:34:09Please.
00:34:11Ethan, dear,
00:34:12lowlifes like Maya
00:34:14will never make you happy.
00:34:16Did I not make that clear to you this morning?
00:34:18Or do I have to show you
00:34:19by cutting off your access to the Armstrong vaults?
00:34:22Let's go.
00:34:23I'm not done here.
00:34:24Help!
00:34:25Maya passed out and she needs help.
00:34:36Get in the car.
00:34:37We've got to get her to the hospital now.
00:34:50What happened?
00:34:51The doctor said it was low blood sugar and side anemia.
00:34:55Why didn't you call for help?
00:34:57The door locked from the outside
00:35:00after Helena left.
00:35:02Don't worry.
00:35:03That won't happen again.
00:35:05I promise.
00:35:11Thank you for always looking out for me.
00:35:13Isn't that what husbands are for?
00:35:17Now, the first order of business
00:35:19is to get you fed.
00:35:21Why don't we go on a date?
00:35:23What about work?
00:35:24I think the boss will be okay with it.
00:35:33I'm sorry.
00:35:34Go ahead and go inside.
00:35:35I've got to take this.
00:35:39What did you find out?
00:35:40The police have no record of Pete Moore
00:35:42reporting a missing child when he found Maya.
00:35:44He lied to her about trying to find her family.
00:35:46Now, why would he do that?
00:35:48Your theory that Maya might be Stella Everett
00:35:50is looking more and more likely, boss.
00:35:55Reservation for Armstrong?
00:35:57Oh, yes.
00:35:58Mr. Armstrong called earlier
00:36:00and we have a special table for you.
00:36:05Please take a room.
00:36:06Thank you so much.
00:36:14Name?
00:36:15Do you not recognize her?
00:36:17I'm Emma Baldwin.
00:36:19Oh, of course.
00:36:21Miss Baldwin?
00:36:23I'm sorry.
00:36:24I'm not seeing a reservation for Baldwin.
00:36:26Are you sure you have the right day?
00:36:28What part of I'm a Baldwin do you not get?
00:36:30I don't need a reservation.
00:36:32Sorry, ma'am.
00:36:33Would you like to make a reservation?
00:36:35I have availability for...
00:36:38three months from now.
00:36:39I demand a table right now!
00:36:40It simply cannot be done.
00:36:43Excuse me.
00:36:45Can you believe this?
00:36:46Yeah, this is embarrassing.
00:36:48More for you than for me, though.
00:36:50Shut up, Brooks.
00:36:55Please tell your dining companion
00:36:56that we're happy to get you in at such a short notice.
00:36:59Thank you so much.
00:37:00Of course.
00:37:02How dare she?
00:37:03Wait.
00:37:04Is that Maya?
00:37:05What the hell?
00:37:07Wait.
00:37:08Is that Maya?
00:37:09What the hell?
00:37:10How did she get in here?
00:37:12Does that skink have a sugar daddy now or something?
00:37:15Let's catch her in the act.
00:37:25Now we can finally expose Maya
00:37:27for what a cheap skink she is.
00:37:29She's so pathetic.
00:37:30She probably has some 90-year-old paying for her meal.
00:37:34Do you see her date anywhere?
00:37:37Are you looking for what to order right now?
00:37:39Yeah, I think I'll get the taco roll.
00:37:41Brooks, look for Maya's sugar daddy.
00:37:43God, do I have to do everything?
00:37:49Are you sure she's even meeting an old man?
00:37:51Please.
00:37:52Like she could get anyone who wasn't half-blind or demented.
00:37:59That cannot be who I think he is.
00:38:00Maya's meeting that guy.
00:38:06He doesn't look half-blind or demented.
00:38:08Is that you, fucking Armstrong?
00:38:14Yeah.
00:38:22Thanks for waiting.
00:38:23Of course.
00:38:27So what's good here?
00:38:29Is there is a lot of zeros.
00:38:32Only the best for my wife.
00:38:38How the hell did she get Ethan Armstrong?
00:38:40What makes him so amazing?
00:38:41Brooks, you dumbass.
00:38:42He's a billionaire business tycoon.
00:38:44He's even richer than the Everett family.
00:38:47What?
00:38:48Zoom must make the Baldwins look like nothing.
00:38:51I swear, if you don't shut up.
00:38:54Why the hell is he with that trashy skank?
00:39:08You'll pay, Maya.
00:39:13You know, I actually know the chef here.
00:39:16We could just have him make us something special.
00:39:20That would be nice.
00:39:21Is there anything that you don't eat?
00:39:23No, I'm not picky.
00:39:25What about you?
00:39:26I like pretty much everything.
00:39:28But nothing is as delicious as you are.
00:39:33Is that too much?
00:39:35It's a little cheesy.
00:39:42Ethan.
00:39:52What the hell was that?
00:39:53I just wanted to show you what you were missing.
00:40:02What the hell?
00:40:03You were acting like a cat in heat.
00:40:05I had to cool you off.
00:40:06My hair.
00:40:07My hair.
00:40:11Are you okay?
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:17What the hell?
00:40:18Get out of the way.
00:40:19Excuse me, miss.
00:40:20This table is reserved.
00:40:21And don't come back.
00:40:26Was that Helena Jones, the famous actress?
00:40:28Yeah, it was.
00:40:31I can't believe Maya's dating a billionaire.
00:40:34Does this mean she won the breakup?
00:40:36She hasn't won yet, Brooks.
00:40:39I won't let her.
00:40:44You were so bad.
00:40:49I think technically that was our first date.
00:40:52Maybe it could have gone a little better.
00:40:56You're not mad that I threw water on her?
00:40:58Mad? No.
00:41:00A little turned on.
00:41:01Maybe.
00:41:02Maya, that was pretty bad-ass.
00:41:06Seems like she's not going to leave you alone.
00:41:09It doesn't matter.
00:41:10We've known each other since we were kids.
00:41:12And not once have I ever been interested in her.
00:41:15And I never will be.
00:41:17Never dated or anything?
00:41:20Definitely not.
00:41:21She thinks her Teen Choice Award makes her irresistible.
00:41:24But that's not what I'm into.
00:41:28What are you into?
00:41:29You.
00:41:31Maya, how I feel about you,
00:41:34is unlike anything I've ever felt before.
00:41:40So, no serious sexes?
00:41:43You want to have that conversation?
00:41:45Yeah, why not?
00:41:47I mean, you know about Brooks.
00:41:49Fair.
00:41:50Though, I don't know how you ever dated a dumbass like that.
00:41:55Fair.
00:41:59I had this childhood friend once.
00:42:03When I was a child, I once had this friend that I thought I loved.
00:42:08At least as much as a ten-year-old can love someone.
00:42:13But it didn't work out.
00:42:16What happened?
00:42:17I grew up.
00:42:20Met an amazing woman.
00:42:23Got married.
00:42:25And was happy.
00:42:28I'm happy, too.
00:42:30Let's go inside.
00:42:32That childhood friend you had, what was her name?
00:42:36Her name was Stella.
00:42:48What?
00:42:49What?
00:42:50We know you tried to steal Ethan from our hotline.
00:42:52What are you talking about?
00:42:53What are you talking about?
00:42:55We know you tried to steal Ethan from our hotline.
00:42:57What are you talking about?
00:42:58What are you talking about?
00:42:59What are you, stupid?
00:43:00You.
00:43:01You crashed that date because you're trying to get with Ethan, you gold-digging slut.
00:43:05Wait, wait.
00:43:06You know you tried to hurt Helena?
00:43:07You deserve this.
00:43:08Yeah, you are.
00:43:09Oh, you're hungry.
00:43:10Yeah, you just drank.
00:43:11Yeah, you just drank.
00:43:14You're worthless.
00:43:15You're worthless.
00:43:16Ethan will never love you.
00:43:17Those two.
00:43:18I want them arrested for slander and assault.
00:43:21Are you okay?
00:43:23I'm so sorry.
00:43:30Articles say that you were on a date with your fiancé, Helena.
00:43:33And that Maya tried to crash the date.
00:43:35Where are they getting this bullshit?
00:43:37Everything was made worse when Helena confirmed it in the press conference.
00:43:40I'm sending you the video now.
00:43:41Is he really your fiancé?
00:43:43It's true.
00:43:44You've been harsh on him lately.
00:43:48Who is this girl, Maya?
00:43:50Maya!
00:43:51Maya Moore is just some crazy fan who tried to ruin our anniversary dinner.
00:43:58I'm going to crush her.
00:44:05I'll handle this.
00:44:07I promise.
00:44:08And I'm sorry for this mess.
00:44:10It's not your fault.
00:44:12It's Helena's.
00:44:14I should get to the office.
00:44:16Wait.
00:44:17Take the day off.
00:44:18I'll take care of this.
00:44:19I can't just hide away from the rest of the world.
00:44:21I have to get out and do something.
00:44:23Get my mind off of it.
00:44:24Well, we do have an upcoming event for the Everett's.
00:44:27The company you're merging with?
00:44:28Yeah.
00:44:29I need to send you to a project off-site.
00:44:40Mrs. Amstrad?
00:44:41I'm Juliette Auclair.
00:44:43The famous designer?
00:44:45Oh my gosh.
00:44:46Hi.
00:44:47Hi.
00:44:48Um, Mr. Armstrong sent me here on a project for the Everett's.
00:44:52Yes.
00:44:53Your husband has asked me to dress you for the Everett Gala.
00:45:06I need to find the perfect dress for the Everett Gala.
00:45:09You'll look great in anything, babe.
00:45:11Duh.
00:45:12But I want to impress Mr. Everett.
00:45:13The Baldwins need to secure some contracts with the Everett Corporation.
00:45:16So smart, babe.
00:45:18None of these dresses are right.
00:45:22I need something like...
00:45:25that.
00:45:30What the hell?
00:45:34You look amazing.
00:45:37What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:40What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:43How dare you get your dirty trailer park hands on Mrs. Auclair's clothes.
00:45:46Mrs. Auclair, I'm a huge fan.
00:45:48So I have to tell you that this peasant can't afford your clothes.
00:45:52She tried to get a sugar daddy, but he left her for Helena Jones.
00:45:55She's so poor she once begged me and my boyfriend for money.
00:45:58Excuse me?
00:45:59Begged for money?
00:46:01I collected the money I was owed for putting your useless boyfriend through law school.
00:46:05Useless?
00:46:06Not thankful.
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08Useless.
00:46:09And idiotic.
00:46:11Most people finish law school in three years, and he finished in five because he couldn't stop the old classes.
00:46:17This dress is made from very delicate fabric, Miss...
00:46:20Baldwin.
00:46:21Oh, a Baldwin.
00:46:23Yes, and I'd like to buy that dress.
00:46:26Oh, well, I just chose this dress for Miss Moorhair.
00:46:30I'll buy it for five times what it's worth.
00:46:32Miss Baldwin, it's $100,000.
00:46:34Yes.
00:46:35Like I said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:46:37Wrap it up.
00:46:42Take off the dress.
00:46:55Thank you so much.
00:46:57If you think about it, I did you a favor.
00:46:59This dress is too high class for your trashy ass anyway.
00:47:06Oh, we're not done.
00:47:09But Savannah bought the dress.
00:47:11I'll let her buy it, because I have something even better for you.
00:47:20This is the Venus, the most coveted dress from my collection.
00:47:24Wow, it's gorgeous.
00:47:27Only one exists in the world, and I'm giving it to you.
00:47:29But why?
00:47:31A beautiful dress needs someone equally beautiful to wear it.
00:47:38Thank you so much.
00:47:40Now, go show that Baldwin bitch what's what.
00:47:46Mr. Armstrong, I sent over what you asked for.
00:47:48Thanks for the video, chef.
00:47:50Sir.
00:47:51Release the video and the press statement.
00:47:53Yes, sir.
00:47:56Helena, is it true?
00:47:58That Ethan and I are getting married?
00:47:59Yes, I can confirm.
00:48:00So you're going to keep lying then?
00:48:02Excuse me?
00:48:03So you're going to keep lying then?
00:48:04Excuse me?
00:48:05Ethan Armstrong just released a statement saying he's married to the woman whose date you crashed.
00:48:08I mean, that's not true. There has to be some kind of mistake.
00:48:11There is full video from the restaurant's security camera.
00:48:13What do you have to say to the people who are calling you a pervert?
00:48:15A pervert? I'm not a pervert.
00:48:18Hello?
00:48:19Helena, it's your agent.
00:48:20Oh, thank God. You have to get me out of here.
00:48:22We're not on your payroll anymore. We're dropping you.
00:48:24What?
00:48:25You've also been dropped from all your upcoming film projects.
00:48:27What did you expect when you assaulted a billionaire tycoon?
00:48:29There has to be something I can do.
00:48:31I'd like to beg for Mr. Armstrong's forgiveness at the Everett Gala, but it's pretty much over, Helena. Sorry.
00:48:36Helena, what are you going to do now that your career is over?
00:48:38Oh, I don't get it. I just...
00:48:42Oh, this is going on the front page.
00:48:45This is who we're going to pay for this.
00:49:02Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?
00:49:08Only a few hundred times.
00:49:10I meant it every time.
00:49:16Sorry, I've got to take this.
00:49:18Will you be okay on your own for a bit?
00:49:20Yeah. I spotted the dessert table, so we're good.
00:49:23I like your priorities. Save me some tiramisu.
00:49:27Did you see her dress?
00:49:29That's the Juliette Auclair's Venus dress.
00:49:32I thought they only made one of those.
00:49:34Yeah, it's the most exclusive dress in the world.
00:49:36Wait, someone's wearing the Venus dress?
00:49:38Yeah, she went that way.
00:49:41What the hell?
00:49:43How did she even get in here?
00:49:44And why should Maya get to wear a famous one-of-a-kind dress?
00:49:57Oops, did I ruin your dress?
00:50:01Did I ruin your dress?
00:50:02No, it's a mess, just like you.
00:50:05Did I ruin your dress?
00:50:06No, it's a mess, just like you.
00:50:25Alert Mr. Everett. Someone's gone into his daughter's bedroom.
00:50:35Hey.
00:50:39You can't be in here.
00:50:40I'm sorry, I was just trying to...
00:50:41What's your name?
00:50:42Maya Moore.
00:50:44You're not on the list.
00:50:45I came with someone.
00:50:47Real convenient. Mr. Everett is on his way. He can confirm your story or not.
00:50:50If he doesn't, I'm calling the police.
00:50:53You're hurting me.
00:50:54Let her go, Helen. It's alright.
00:50:57Thank you, sir.
00:50:59I'm sorry.
00:51:04You look very familiar.
00:51:08You look very familiar.
00:51:11Oh, I don't think we've met before.
00:51:14You're probably right.
00:51:16I'm old, you know.
00:51:18I guess I've seen so many faces, I guess I just think I recognize them.
00:51:23Are you alright?
00:51:26You alright?
00:51:28Yeah.
00:51:30I'm okay.
00:51:32I'm sorry I came in here when I'm not supposed to. I was cleaning my dress.
00:51:39No, that won't do at all, will it?
00:51:41There's Juliet or Claire at that.
00:51:43You recognize it?
00:51:44Yes, yes.
00:51:46Truth be told, I was subjected to many long rants about fashion and designers from my late daughter.
00:51:54Oh.
00:51:56I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:51:59Well, thank you, dear.
00:52:00You know that she was one of Juliet or Claire's first customers.
00:52:24An Eau Claire for an Eau Claire.
00:52:28Are you sure? It's your daughter's.
00:52:30Oh, yes, yes. And she would love nothing more than to see a lovely dress be seen on a lovely lady.
00:52:39Thank you, sir.
00:52:54Are you okay, sir?
00:52:57Yeah, I'm okay.
00:53:01You look so much like my daughter.
00:53:06Thank you for letting me wear it.
00:53:10Mr. Everett, it's time for your speech.
00:53:12Yes, ma'am.
00:53:18Thank you for being here.
00:53:21Thank you for being so kind.
00:53:25Well, I wonder if maybe you could return the favor?
00:53:28Will you accompany an old gentleman to his party?
00:53:32Of course.
00:53:45Where is Maya?
00:53:46Where is Maya?
00:53:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our host for the evening, Mr. Everett.
00:54:01Babe, what the hell?
00:54:03What the hell is that skink with Mr. Everett?
00:54:05And you know, trying to trap him into being a sugar daddy?
00:54:07What a slut.
00:54:09Are you really going to talk about Mrs. Armstrong like that?
00:54:12Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:13Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:15Isn't he with Helena Jones?
00:54:17No.
00:54:18Ethan Armstrong released a statement that his wife is actually Maya Moore.
00:54:22Helena Jones lied about their relationship.
00:54:24So pathetic.
00:54:25How do you not know?
00:54:27What kind of corporate heiress does he meet the trades?
00:54:29The Baldwins really have fallen.
00:54:35Ma'am, you are making a scene.
00:54:37This is a nice event.
00:54:38If it's so nice, then how do you let trash like her in?
00:54:40All right, you are coming in.
00:54:41Excuse me.
00:54:42Excuse me.
00:54:43Do you know who I am?
00:54:45All right, you are coming in.
00:54:46Excuse me.
00:54:47Do you know who I am?
00:54:49Mom!
00:54:54Well, thank you for accompanying me.
00:54:59It was my pleasure.
00:55:01Well, that dress was made for you.
00:55:13Did you switch dates?
00:55:16I had a wardrobe malfunction.
00:55:18He let me borrow his daughter's dress.
00:55:20That means that he likes you a lot.
00:55:23That will come in handy later.
00:55:25Why is that?
00:55:27You'll see.
00:55:34Ethan, I take it by that gleam in your eye that this must be your new bride?
00:55:39Yes.
00:55:40This is Maya Moore.
00:55:41Maya, meet Grandpa.
00:55:43Grandpa?
00:55:45Not by blood, but he's a family friend that helped raise me.
00:55:50Unfortunately, this is what we got.
00:55:52He's kind of a rascal, isn't he?
00:55:56But I think I must have done something right because you certainly know how to pick the most graceful ladies for your wife.
00:56:04Well, I'm glad you like her because you'll be spending a lot more time together during the merger.
00:56:09Maya is my new executive assistant.
00:56:14Maya is my new executive assistant.
00:56:18Oh, that's wonderful.
00:56:21Oh, I look forward to all of us working together now.
00:56:23I look forward to working with you.
00:56:26Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to see some old friends, all right?
00:56:30Enjoy your evening.
00:56:32Mademoiselle.
00:56:34No, Madame Armstrong.
00:56:39New executive assistant? When did that happen?
00:56:42Tonight.
00:56:44That call I took earlier was confirmation that the paperwork went through.
00:56:48I am grateful for the opportunity, but why?
00:56:53Because you're smart and hardworking and you're beautiful.
00:57:02Now, I don't think that last one is appropriate for the office, Mr. Armstrong.
00:57:06Wait until you hear about the benefits.
00:57:15Sorry, I've got to take this.
00:57:18Work at the CEO never stops.
00:57:20Sorry.
00:57:23Okay, absolutely. Thank you for your diligence.
00:57:26Great. Thanks for the update.
00:57:28I need to talk to you.
00:57:30I've said everything I need to say to the press.
00:57:33So you're going to ruin my life over some random whore?
00:57:35Better watch what you say.
00:57:37Because I'll happily ruin your life for a second time if you continue to insult her.
00:57:41It's always been like this.
00:57:43Ever since we were kids.
00:57:45I mean, I'm always the one that wanted to be with you and you only ever wanted to be with Stella Everett.
00:57:49And now she's gone and you want to be with some random no-name?
00:57:52I mean, what is wrong with me?
00:57:54I'm perfect for you.
00:57:56Maya is perfect for me.
00:57:58I'm done with this conversation.
00:58:00Stella or Maya?
00:58:02Yeah, I wonder which one you'd choose.
00:58:04Wait.
00:58:06Does Maya even know about Stella Everett?
00:58:11Keep interfering with my marriage, Helena.
00:58:14And I'll do a lot more than just ruin your reputation.
00:58:20I swear they're going to pay for this.
00:58:23I think we have a lot in common.
00:58:25Who are you?
00:58:27Someone who also wants to end Maya Moore and Nathan Armstrong.
00:58:29And why don't you tell me everything there is to know about Stella Everett?
00:58:39Are you ready for your first day as an executive assistant?
00:58:43I think so.
00:58:47Have you been drinking champagne?
00:58:49Shut up.
00:58:51Shut up.
00:58:57Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Moore.
00:58:59I'm excited to have you here, please.
00:59:01Oh, and congratulations, Ms. Moore, on your first day.
00:59:03Thank you, Mr. Everett.
00:59:05This is Carol Smith and Daniel Miller, our heads of marketing.
00:59:08This is Ethan Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Airplane.
00:59:11We know exactly who you are, Mr. Armstrong.
00:59:13It's such an honor.
00:59:15So great to work with you.
00:59:17And this is Maya Moore, Ethan's executive assistant.
00:59:18Yeah, hi.
00:59:21Do you know who she is?
00:59:24Do you know who she is?
00:59:26She's my new executive assistant.
00:59:28Very new.
00:59:30So I'm excited to learn from you both.
00:59:32Well, let's just hope you can keep up.
00:59:34The campaign for the Everett Armstrong merger is very important.
00:59:38It requires expertise.
00:59:40So why don't you take notes?
00:59:42Sure.
00:59:44The biggest issue right now is how to show our respective customers
00:59:46why this merger is a good thing for them.
00:59:49We don't want any of our customers to think they're losing out
00:59:52on any Armstrong or Everett products
00:59:54that they've been loyal to for so many years.
00:59:56Exactly.
00:59:58So how do we roll out this news to our customer base
01:00:00and alleviate their fears?
01:00:02I say keep it simple.
01:00:04We send out a mass email to all of our customers
01:00:07letting them know that, yes, the merger is happening,
01:00:10but nothing will change.
01:00:12No, no, no, that's wrong.
01:00:14Where is the personal touch?
01:00:16You know, the Everett Corporation is known for customer service,
01:00:19and what you're talking about is none of that.
01:00:21Besides, nothing will change is inaccurate.
01:00:23We'll continue to make the same great products, of course,
01:00:26but what about the excitement for the future?
01:00:29How about a one-time discount for our current customers
01:00:33that'll be done right after the announcement is made?
01:00:36Now, if the customers are happy, they can't be worried.
01:00:39So like a bribe?
01:00:41Well...
01:00:42Again, it undermines the value of the merger.
01:00:44Yes, and it suggests that whenever our customers have an issue,
01:00:47we'll just throw money at it rather than come up with a real solution.
01:00:52Um...
01:00:54If it's all right, I have an idea.
01:00:58If it's all right, I have an idea.
01:01:01You.
01:01:03Please.
01:01:05Let her talk.
01:01:07You and Daniels haven't come up with anything yet,
01:01:09so let's see what you have to say, kid.
01:01:11How about we do a customer ambassador program?
01:01:12What?
01:01:14Tell me more.
01:01:16So we invite a group of our loyal customers from both companies
01:01:19and invite them to be insiders on the merger.
01:01:22They'll have special access to behind-the-scenes content,
01:01:25exclusive updates, and early access to new products.
01:01:29And if they share their experiences via social media,
01:01:32it could generate a lot of positive vibes.
01:01:35Which you can also use in other marketing efforts
01:01:38like ads and customer testimonials.
01:01:40You're brilliant.
01:01:42I agree.
01:01:44Okay, let's go with Maya's plan.
01:01:51Maya, you were absolutely incredible today.
01:01:54Thank you, Mr. Everett.
01:01:57Can I convince you to go have a meal?
01:02:00I have a meeting with a vendor across town.
01:02:03How about just you and Maya eat together?
01:02:06That okay?
01:02:08Yeah, of course.
01:02:10Yeah, that sounds great.
01:02:13Well, are you hungry?
01:02:15My personal chef is on call.
01:02:17I don't want to make any fuss.
01:02:19What do you normally eat?
01:02:21Oh, well, that's kind of a strange one.
01:02:23I like chocolate cereal with orange juice and hot milk.
01:02:28Are you being serious?
01:02:30I like that too.
01:02:32Get out of here.
01:02:34I don't know anybody who likes that but me.
01:02:36I love it. Let's do that.
01:02:38Okay.
01:02:39Hey.
01:02:44It's so good.
01:02:46I'm shocked, you know, that you like this stuff.
01:02:48Everybody else thinks I'm crazy.
01:02:50My foster father thought it was disgusting too.
01:02:53Foster father?
01:02:55You're adopted?
01:02:57Yeah, when I was ten.
01:02:59I'm sorry.
01:03:01At such a young age, it must be really difficult to handle.
01:03:03Well, I'm actually not sure.
01:03:06My foster father found me wandering around with no memory.
01:03:09The only memory I had is that I was ten years old.
01:03:12And that I like chocolate cereal and orange juice.
01:03:15If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now?
01:03:19Okay.
01:03:21If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now?
01:03:24I'm twenty-seven.
01:03:26Hello?
01:03:28Alright, I'll be right there.
01:03:31I'm sorry, Mr. Everett.
01:03:33The bank just called and there's some kind of issue.
01:03:35It's fine.
01:03:37We'll have some more cereal and orange juice later.
01:03:40Sounds good.
01:03:49Twenty-seven.
01:03:54Going somewhere?
01:03:56What?
01:03:58Was it the bank?
01:04:00Ms. Moore, please hurry. There's an issue with your savings account.
01:04:03So you lured me out here.
01:04:04What do you want?
01:04:06I just have some information on your husband that I think you might want to hear.
01:04:09Why should I trust you?
01:04:11You're a liar.
01:04:13Yeah, maybe. But this information can't be verified.
01:04:17Did you not think to search up Ethan and his past?
01:04:20No, but I trust him.
01:04:24So you know all about Stella Everett?
01:04:28So you know all about Stella Everett?
01:04:30I know that they were childhood friends.
01:04:33I guess he had a crush on her.
01:04:35It was much more than a crush.
01:04:37I mean, they were engaged.
01:04:39And then she disappeared and Ethan was devastated.
01:04:45Why do you think a catch like him has been single all these years?
01:04:48Why do you think his grandmother had to practically force him to get married?
01:04:53I just...
01:04:55Because he's been looking for Stella this whole time.
01:04:57He only settled for you so that he could merge with her family's company.
01:05:02Your marriage only exists because he loves Stella.
01:05:07And he always will be.
01:05:09But I just wanted to let you know.
01:05:11Girl to girl.
01:05:17Nice work.
01:05:22What do you mean you haven't seen her?
01:05:24Find my wife.
01:05:26Where have you been?
01:05:28Grandpa said you left work hours ago.
01:05:31Yeah, grandpa.
01:05:33Do you call him that because in your mind you're married to Stella Everett?
01:05:37What?
01:05:39Is it true that you've been in love with Stella Everett your entire life?
01:05:42And the only reason you married me was to lock in the merger with the Everett Corporation?
01:05:46You know how our marriage started.
01:05:48And you know that how I feel about you now is real.
01:05:51Do I?
01:05:52Am I the only way you could tie yourself to her?
01:05:54The merger may have been an ode to someone I care about.
01:05:57But that doesn't mean I don't love you.
01:06:00Maya.
01:06:03I love you.
01:06:05Am I just some placeholder for a girl that you will never have?
01:06:08You're not.
01:06:10I swear.
01:06:12How am I supposed to live up to a girl you've been in love with your entire life?
01:06:15Maya, please. You do.
01:06:17Ethan, I am never going to be Stella Everett.
01:06:19But you might actually be Stella Everett.
01:06:28What?
01:06:33When we were 10 years old, Stella disappeared.
01:06:36Kidnapped, probably.
01:06:38Grandpa and I never saw her again.
01:06:41Until 17 years ago in June.
01:06:45That's the same day.
01:06:48That's the same exact timeline as...
01:06:50No. Come on.
01:06:52Maya, you look just like her.
01:06:54When you were 10 years old, you were an orphan who lost her memory.
01:06:58Your foster father? He never actually filed a child's report.
01:07:02I wouldn't be surprised if he...
01:07:04Just stop. This is all way too much.
01:07:07I just cannot believe that.
01:07:12Then you need something irrefutable.
01:07:14Let's take a DNA test.
01:07:17What if I refuse?
01:07:19What if I refuse?
01:07:21What?
01:07:23What if I don't want to take a DNA test?
01:07:26What if I just want to be Maya Moore for the rest of my life?
01:07:29Not Maya Moore, might be Stella Everett.
01:07:32I just want to be Maya, the lonely orphan, Moore.
01:07:39Then I would be okay with that.
01:07:41Then I would be okay with that.
01:07:43Really?
01:07:45I promise.
01:07:47As long as you can still be Maya Armstrong.
01:07:51Not because I might be Stella Everett?
01:07:54No. Because I know you're Maya Moore.
01:07:58And she's the only woman I want to be my wife.
01:08:05I'll stop digging.
01:08:07And I promise to never mention the DNA test again.
01:08:12Actually, let's do it.
01:08:15Really?
01:08:17Yeah. Now that I know we're good no matter what,
01:08:22let's find out if I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:08:27Hello?
01:08:29Would you like to accept a collect call from the county jail?
01:08:31What? I swear, Brooks is in trouble.
01:08:34Yes, I'll accept the call.
01:08:36One moment.
01:08:38Am I speaking to one of the Bulbas?
01:08:41Yes. Who are you?
01:08:43How did you get this number?
01:08:45I'm an old friend of the family's.
01:08:47Well, that has nothing to do with me, so bye.
01:08:49Whoa, hang up, hang up. You don't want to hang up on me.
01:08:52I mean, you don't want to lose everything you've got, do you?
01:08:54Who the hell are you?
01:08:56I'm the guy your family paid to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:02I'm the guy your family paid to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:06I guess you knew about the family secret, huh?
01:09:08I don't know anything about that.
01:09:11You've got the bullshit, sweetheart. You can't con a con.
01:09:14But, you know, I can keep my mouth shut.
01:09:16In exchange for what?
01:09:18Stella's husband threw me in jail, so I need somebody to come out and bail me out.
01:09:21Stella's husband? She's alive?
01:09:24Oh, she's more than alive. She is living a grand life.
01:09:27She's married to Ethan Armstrong.
01:09:30Maya Moore is Stella Everett?
01:09:33Yep. Can you imagine what would happen to your business if Mr. Armstrong finds out?
01:09:37Lose everything.
01:09:39Exactly. So, why don't you move in over to the county jail and bring some cash?
01:09:46Fine. I'll be there soon.
01:09:52This could ruin everything!
01:09:56How am I going to make sure that this never gets out?
01:10:00Maya Moore can never figure out that she's Stella Everett, but how?
01:10:04Get me a meeting with Mr. Everett immediately.
01:10:07Tell him I have some information about his granddaughter.
01:10:12So, I think we should just go in there and tell Grandpa everything from the beginning.
01:10:18And then we can ask if he'll take a DNA test.
01:10:21You ready?
01:10:24I'm ready.
01:10:33I'll be right with you, Ms. Baldwin.
01:10:46Ms. Baldwin, you came as soon as I heard.
01:10:49What information do you have about Stella?
01:10:51Does it have anything to do with Maya?
01:10:53Have some tea first. Mr. Everett, we need to stay calm.
01:10:56You as well.
01:11:04Hey, Grandpa? You in here?
01:11:07Ethan, look.
01:11:13Call 911, quick!
01:11:17It was the running tests, so at this moment we don't know what caused Ms. Everett's coma.
01:11:23Will he pull through?
01:11:25It's too soon to say.
01:11:27There was one thing he wanted before he died.
01:11:29And that was to find his granddaughter.
01:11:32Would it be possible to run a DNA test?
01:11:35Not without his consent.
01:11:37Besides, isn't his granddaughter already with him?
01:11:40What are you talking about?
01:11:42She's in there with him, right now.
01:11:53Ethan, spend a while with your granddaughter.
01:11:56Ethan, spend a while.
01:12:00Stella?
01:12:03Stella?
01:12:07You're not still shy.
01:12:09His face used to get so red when I would hug him as a kid.
01:12:13Oh, I'm sorry. Who are you?
01:12:16Maya. Maya Moore.
01:12:18I'm Stella Everett. It's nice to meet you.
01:12:20Maya's my wife.
01:12:22Oh.
01:12:23Oh.
01:12:25Wow.
01:12:27Did our marriage under the yellow swing set mean nothing to you?
01:12:30How did you know about that?
01:12:32Of course I remember. I think your vows were something like,
01:12:35I promise to give you a lollipop every day.
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:39They were.
01:12:42Maya.
01:12:50Maya.
01:12:53I want to end this.
01:12:57What?
01:12:59This insecurity I have with us.
01:13:02I know it's a big deal for you to find Stella.
01:13:05But I love you.
01:13:07And I don't want to lose you.
01:13:09Maya, you're not going to lose me.
01:13:12I love you and no one can change that.
01:13:16Not Stella Everett. Not anybody.
01:13:24Are you okay?
01:13:27I can't say I'm not disappointed.
01:13:30I mean, for a second I thought I was actually going to find my real family.
01:13:34I don't know. There's something off about Stella.
01:13:39But she knows all the details from your past with her.
01:13:42She does.
01:13:44And it's spooky accurate.
01:13:46But still.
01:13:51Hello.
01:13:53Stella Everett is giving a live interview right now.
01:13:56What?
01:13:59Hi, I'm Stella Everett.
01:14:01Heiress to the Everett Corporation.
01:14:04Back from the dead.
01:14:06Miss Everett, where have you been all these years?
01:14:09I was kidnapped and taken abroad.
01:14:12I was rescued by the local authorities a few weeks ago.
01:14:15What are you most looking forward to now that you're back?
01:14:17Well, there's an old treehouse on the Everett property that I'd like to go and revisit.
01:14:20My friends and I used to tell scary stories there at night.
01:14:23The same thing you used to stalk Ethan and Stella when you were a kid.
01:14:26Shut up.
01:14:28It's a compliment. You trained Stella well.
01:14:30You're right.
01:14:32God, I mean, I should be a director.
01:14:34It's good to be back.
01:14:36This is some of my finest work.
01:14:38So, mission accomplished. Let's get out of here.
01:14:42She knows a lot of details.
01:14:45She seems like the real deal.
01:14:48How are you?
01:14:50I'm mostly exhausted.
01:14:51Why don't you get some sleep and I'll drive us home.
01:15:08Is that Helena and Savannah?
01:15:13Hey, look into all of Stella's claims and find out what Helena Jones and Savannah Baldwin have been up to recently.
01:15:20Alright, got it. Thanks.
01:15:25What are you doing here?
01:15:27Well, I came to see my fiancé, of course.
01:15:29You know I'm married.
01:15:31I'm just messing around, Ethan.
01:15:33I didn't expect you to hold on to a 20-year-old engagement.
01:15:35It did mean a lot to me at the time, though.
01:15:39Do you know that I kept the ring pop that you proposed with?
01:15:42I put it in my jewelry box.
01:15:44I thought about you every day.
01:15:46I couldn't wait to get back to you, Ethan.
01:15:49I'm in love with my wife and nothing is going to change that.
01:15:54Well, we'll see.
01:15:57We're going to be working together a lot now that I'm taking over the Everett Corporation.
01:16:01Will you?
01:16:03Who better to be Grandpa's successor than his granddaughter?
01:16:05You're right. So we should run the DNA test.
01:16:08Well, since Grandpa's in a coma, he can't consent to a DNA test.
01:16:13So you'll just have to take my testimony.
01:16:14Plus, I know all about the treehouse and the hidden nook in the Everett library.
01:16:19So does Helena Jones, incidentally.
01:16:22She used to follow Stella and me around as kids.
01:16:24Oh, yeah, no. I remember Helena. She was super weird.
01:16:28Also, Grandpa's will stipulates that any Stella Everett trying to take over his company requires a DNA test.
01:16:33His lawyers have his written approval on hand for those particular circumstances.
01:16:37So, are you ready to take the test?
01:16:40Well...
01:16:42Or do you want to change your story?
01:16:44Sure.
01:16:51Helena. Always nice to see you.
01:16:54Enough of the sarcastic pleasantries.
01:16:56On the phone, you said that you could help me get my career back.
01:16:59No. I said I wanted to talk to you about your career.
01:17:02Mostly because I believe it's about to get even worse.
01:17:05Excuse me?
01:17:07I can see the headlines now. From the big screen to a tiny little jail cell.
01:17:10I don't have to listen to this nonsense.
01:17:11Your Stella Everett imposter has already turned on you.
01:17:14She's given her sworn statement to the police.
01:17:17But, I might be able to help you in exchange for some information.
01:17:23Tell me everything you know about Savannah Baldwin's involvement.
01:17:29No. No. No. No. No.
01:17:33Ah, my father-in-law.
01:17:36We have got to stop being like this.
01:17:42Are you okay?
01:17:44Yeah.
01:17:46I have something to tell you.
01:17:50Helena and Savannah hired an imposter to pose as Stella Everett.
01:17:54What?
01:17:56Apparently, Stella was an old actress friend of Helena's.
01:18:00She coached her.
01:18:02God, why are they so crazy?
01:18:05I know. But, there's more.
01:18:08We found your foster dad.
01:18:09I thought he was in jail.
01:18:12Savannah posted his bail.
01:18:14Why would she do that?
01:18:16He blackmailed her.
01:18:18He threatened to come out with the information that the Baldwins hired him to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:18:23Which is...
01:18:25you.
01:18:27Wow.
01:18:29So, it's true.
01:18:31I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:18:33You are.
01:18:35The Baldwins hired Pete after your parents passed away.
01:18:37They thought that if Grandpa suffered another loss,
01:18:40the grief would cause the Everett stock price to drop,
01:18:43and they'd buy it up and take over the company.
01:18:45Which...
01:18:47obviously didn't happen.
01:18:49What about my memory?
01:18:51Pete said when you tried to escape, you hit your head.
01:18:54When he realized that you didn't remember anything,
01:18:57he hid it from the police,
01:18:59and he told you he adopted you.
01:19:02I can't believe this.
01:19:04I can't believe this.
01:19:07Thank you for finding out the truth.
01:19:16What happened to Pete, Helena, and Savannah?
01:19:19Pete and Helena are in police custody.
01:19:21Savannah's on the run.
01:19:23Don't worry, though.
01:19:25The Baldwin bank accounts are frozen,
01:19:27so she can't get far.
01:19:35Savannah?
01:19:37I need you to get me out of the country.
01:19:39How do you expect me to do that?
01:19:41I've given you hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts.
01:19:43Sell them, and we can pay someone to sneak us out.
01:19:46Us? I don't want to leave.
01:19:48We have no choice.
01:19:50I have a choice, Stella.
01:19:52I'm breaking up with you.
01:19:54And I'm keeping the presents.
01:19:56What?
01:19:58I've done everything for you.
01:20:00I didn't ask you to do that.
01:20:04This is all that bitch Maya's fault.
01:20:07I swear I'll make her pay for this.
01:20:22Thank you all for coming today
01:20:24to the announcement for the Armstrong Everett merger.
01:20:29I would like to thank someone
01:20:31who's played an integral part
01:20:32in the rollout of this merger.
01:20:34Maya Moore.
01:20:36She's developed our customer ambassador program,
01:20:39which will carry our customers with us into this new era.
01:20:42I'll let her tell you more about it.
01:20:46Hello.
01:20:48I'm Maya Moore.
01:20:54Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's some backwoods hick
01:20:57in the middle of nowhere.
01:20:59This is my wife, and you will show her respect.
01:21:01Well, that explains how she got the job.
01:21:03Just because you marry up
01:21:05doesn't mean you're not some classless loser.
01:21:07God, that gold digger is pathetic.
01:21:09Get this nobody off this age.
01:21:18She's not a nobody.
01:21:20This is my granddaughter, Stella Everett.
01:21:28Grandpa, you're okay.
01:21:30Once my heart told me
01:21:32that you were the one, my true granddaughter,
01:21:34there was nothing that was going to stop me
01:21:36from getting better.
01:21:41Mr. Everett, how do you know she's your granddaughter?
01:21:43Another woman was just impersonating Stella Everett?
01:21:49I have her DNA test.
01:21:52We'll send this to the doctor
01:21:54so that we can run a DNA test
01:21:56as soon as Grandpa wakes up.
01:21:57Maya Moore is my granddaughter.
01:22:27Why?
01:22:29In the middle of nowhere.
01:22:32It took your husband 17 years
01:22:34to find you the first time.
01:22:36You think he'll be any quicker this time around?
01:22:40Hey, have you seen Maya?
01:22:42No, not in a while.
01:22:44I don't like this.
01:22:49Hello?
01:22:51Looking for your little wife?
01:22:53Where the hell is she?
01:22:55She's safe, for now.
01:22:57But for us, we're...
01:22:59Enough with the theatrics.
01:23:01Your wife will be safe and sound
01:23:03if you get me $10 million in cash.
01:23:05But I'd hurry if I were you.
01:23:07She gets us safe and sound
01:23:09for every hour that goes by.
01:23:21Why are you doing this to me?
01:23:23Shut up.
01:23:25I didn't do anything to you.
01:23:27You took everything from me.
01:23:29My life was perfect before you, Maya Moore.
01:23:32The choices you and your family made
01:23:34is why your life is ruined, not me.
01:23:37You don't know anything, damn whore.
01:23:41God, I can't even look at you.
01:23:43It makes me sick.
01:23:45Please.
01:23:47Please stop.
01:23:50If I want my money,
01:23:52I just can't kill you.
01:23:54But I can still mess up that face.
01:23:57Get off.
01:24:01Are you, uh...
01:24:03Yeah.
01:24:05Just a second.
01:24:07Maya, Maya, Maya.
01:24:17Maya.
01:24:19What happened?
01:24:21You passed out after we rescued you from Savannah.
01:24:24Savannah?
01:24:25It's okay.
