Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Someone went wild last night.
00:00:29Not too bad, as far as the last night of being single goes.
00:00:32I don't get it, man. Why'd she leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:35Maybe she's on the way to the marriage registry to marry you.
00:00:38Yeah, maybe.
00:00:40So, according to your mother's will, as soon as you get married, you'll receive the share she left for you.
00:00:44So I've arranged for someone for you to have a fake marriage with.
00:00:47I trust your taste.
00:00:53Oh, look at that. The woman who agreed to your fake marriage is already on her way.
00:00:57Whoever she is, with that marriage license, the normal group officially becomes mine.
00:01:01So why didn't you go with what your grandfathers arranged for marriage?
00:01:04Man, I'd much rather be that girl from last night, but I don't know if I'm gonna ever see her again.
00:01:17It's you.
00:01:47If I had known that you were the person I was gonna marry, we could have shared a ride from the hotel.
00:01:51Well, I am short on cash these days, so...
00:01:54Same. I had to borrow the suit.
00:01:57It's a good suit.
00:01:59This is all that I have today. Thank you for coming, and you'll get the rest when we divorce in one year.
00:02:11I guess I deserve an Oscar for my performance today.
00:02:15With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:24Inform the whole company. A new era starts today.
00:02:28Sure thing.
00:02:30You murderers, better watch your backs. I'm coming for you.
00:02:36I'm gonna avenge you.
00:02:43With the shares from your mother's will, you now own 50% of Laura Group.
00:02:48I guess it's time to show them who's boss.
00:02:51Yes, boss.
00:03:08What? New presents here?
00:03:24Now?
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:48Renee! Looks like my stepsister decided to crawl back out of hell.
00:03:52Unfortunately for you, I'm here to kick you two out of my mother's company.
00:03:55Your mother's?
00:03:56You know her name means nothing. Now it belongs to my mom.
00:04:00Speaking of her, great job selling off all the company's shares. I'm sure the new president will reward you for that.
00:04:05How did... how did you...
00:04:08That's ridiculous.
00:04:09I think we should settle this in front of everyone.
00:04:14Here they come.
00:04:18As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:32As office manager, it is my pleasure to welcome the new president...
00:04:38Miss Mara Brown!
00:04:40Who, me?
00:04:41No doubt. Mrs. Brown was the plan B to take over.
00:04:45Are you sure she's the new president of the company?
00:04:48Who else would it be? Your mother from six feet under?
00:04:55Well then you must have the invitation from Norman.
00:04:58What invitation?
00:04:59For the party tonight. They've invited all their business partners, including Laura Group.
00:05:07Of course I do.
00:05:08Great. Then I will see you there.
00:05:13Let's see how long you can keep up the act.
00:05:38Excuse me? How dare you? I'm the president of the Laura Group.
00:05:42I'm sorry, ma'am. I can only accept invitations.
00:05:49Oh, looks like I forgot it at home. Can I speak with your manager?
00:05:54Just admit it, Mara. You're not the president. You don't have an invitation.
00:05:57Where's your invitation then?
00:06:04Damon, help!
00:06:07This skank is trying to bully me because I didn't have an invitation.
00:06:12Don't worry, honeypuff. As the host of this party, I can guarantee no one's going to mess with you.
00:06:19The whole Norman family doesn't welcome someone like you.
00:06:22The host? So that means you're the heir to the Norman family?
00:06:27Yes, I have a lot going on lately.
00:06:33What the fuck are you doing? Get her out of here.
00:06:35Mr. Norman, is that any way to treat a guest?
00:06:42How did you... No, that has to be a fake.
00:06:53May I?
00:06:54how did you know that has to be a fake
00:06:59May I?
00:07:06Damon!
00:07:12Stop her!
00:07:17Really?
00:07:22Dorothy, can you look up Damon Norman for me?
00:07:28and top the head of the charity group in here
00:07:52Are you alright my dear wife?
00:07:56What are you doing here?
00:07:59You're working
00:08:02What about you?
00:08:07I'm someone's escort
00:08:10You do know you're married, right?
00:08:14Of course, I can't just rely on my husband's tips
00:08:18Your husband sounds like a real jerk
00:08:20He's the worst
00:08:22I didn't know this party for dirty rats
00:08:25Neither did I, until you showed up
00:08:36Clean that up
00:08:42Are you really asking me?
00:08:47Are you really asking me?
00:08:49Of course I am. I'm the fiance of the heir to the Norman family
00:09:04How could you do that? Do you know how much that costs?
00:09:07Well, with the price of the champagne that's on it, I would say your fur just increased in value
00:09:20It's my stepsister. Sorry that you had to see that
00:09:25No worries. All families have issues. You should have let me deal with her
00:09:30Well, I couldn't let you get in trouble
00:09:35In return, you could have a little authentic husband experience with me
00:09:42I couldn't afford that
00:09:50Get the necklace from the safe. Someone deserves a gift
00:10:02Here's a gift for Ms. Brown
00:10:08Oh, that's me. Oh, it's beautiful
00:10:13I bet Damon got this for me
00:10:16Much better than an invitation, if I do say so myself
00:10:20Mara, is that the only way you can make yourself feel valuable?
00:10:24Wait, this is for Ms. Renee Brown?
00:10:28I'm Renee Brown
00:10:31May I ask who sent this?
00:10:34Sorry, I don't know
00:10:37You bitch! You set this entire thing up with a fake necklace and everything just to embarrass me
00:10:44Mara, the only person embarrassing you here is yourself
00:10:48No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser
00:10:53Unwanted loser?
00:10:56No one has ever given you a gift because you are an unwanted loser
00:11:01Unwanted? Says who?
00:11:11Unwanted? Says who?
00:11:17She's with me
00:11:19Oh, a skank and a server. How fitting
00:11:22You know what sister, I did think you would go with someone more of like a washed up, in his 80s type
00:11:27No thank you, but speaking of losers, you should probably go check in with your fiancé
00:11:32My fiancé is the heir to the Norman Group
00:11:36One word and he'll have both of you two out on your asses
00:11:40I would like to see him try
00:11:43Damon, come to my rescue please
00:11:46Hey, what's going on?
00:11:49Hello Damon, so you're her fiancé, the heir to the Norman Group?
00:11:54Yes, speak with some respect
00:11:57He's full of lies, he's not the real heir
00:12:07He's not the real heir
00:12:09Are you accusing him?
00:12:11Why don't you let him speak for himself?
00:12:14Enough, enough, make a scene, let's go, come on
00:12:19Let me spell it out for you two, he is the cousin to the heir
00:12:23Who likes to use the family name to scam people
00:12:27How do you know that?
00:12:29Because I'm the real heir, heir's assistant, right Damon?
00:12:37And you know the cost of lying, right Damon?
00:12:42Yes
00:12:48Just, just let me go, please
00:12:57Damon may have been lying Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me
00:13:05Damon may have been lying Mara Brown, but you're not fooling me
00:13:08It is not your time to speak, so I would shut it if I were you
00:13:15Can you tell him to meet me at the ballroom? Thank you
00:13:19May I speak to the president of the Laura Group?
00:13:22That's me, what do you want?
00:13:24Such an honor to finally meet you
00:13:26Thank you and your company for the generous donation
00:13:28It will benefit so many children
00:13:31Oh, yeah, don't worry about it, it's nothing
00:13:34Would you prefer the five million as a check or a bank transfer?
00:13:38Five million, what?
00:13:40Your assistant asked me to meet you here
00:13:43Or you could just sign your name on this contract
00:13:49You framed me
00:13:51Oh, well it's not framing if you're the real president
00:13:55Unless you're lying
00:13:59You framed me
00:14:01Oh, well it's not framing if you're the real president
00:14:04Unless you're lying
00:14:10Oh, you know what, I don't feel so well
00:14:13I don't even think I could pick up that pen
00:14:15You'll have to find me another day
00:14:21Mara's a fake, I'm such a fool
00:14:24Oh, don't be too hard on yourself
00:14:26Well, where's the real president?
00:14:32I know
00:14:34The real president
00:14:38Is in the office
00:14:52Can I have a dance with you?
00:14:55Can I have a dance with you?
00:15:02Seems like everyone has trust issues tonight
00:15:05Do you?
00:15:08Like what?
00:15:10Are you really just an assistant?
00:15:18What about you?
00:15:20Are you really an escort?
00:15:22Where's your client?
00:15:26Seems like everyone has secrets
00:15:30Sometimes the best solution is to just ignore the problem
00:15:34At least for tonight
00:15:36I agree
00:15:38But I have to admit it'll probably be difficult for me going to suppress my curiosity
00:15:42Then I guess I'll have to keep you busy
00:15:45How so?
00:15:52I don't know
00:16:23How generous
00:16:31Dude, Lord Group is dumping our shares
00:16:33Our stock price is crashing
00:16:35What?
00:16:53Do we know who the president is yet?
00:16:55I checked every news source, I can't find anything on who the president is
00:17:03That's impossible
00:17:04What is it?
00:17:06Laura Brown?
00:17:08The founder of Laura Group?
00:17:10Didn't she pass away like five years ago?
00:17:12I'm going to get to the bottom of this
00:17:15Phase one completed
00:17:16Mara and her mother had heavily invested in Norman Group
00:17:19So now it's time to watch their assets shrink
00:17:21By the way, I made the donation in your mother's name
00:17:24Thank you, Dotty
00:17:26But I've been meaning to ask
00:17:28Won't doing this also affect Laura Group's assets?
00:17:31Nothing ventured, nothing gained
00:17:34Don't worry, I have a plan
00:17:37I trust you, but don't overdo it
00:17:41I have a feeling I'll be meeting the heir of Norman Group very soon
00:17:45Dear President
00:17:47It's time to teach you a lesson
00:17:52Phase two completed
00:17:57The informant says the president of Laura Group will be here tonight
00:18:00I'll flush out this rat, I swear
00:18:08Renee?
00:18:09Parrot, what are you doing here?
00:18:11I'm here to meet with the real president of the Laura Group
00:18:15Have you seen...
00:18:18Damn, Paul
00:18:21I forgot my wallet in the car
00:18:23Um, why don't you order your drink?
00:18:25It's on me
00:18:34Are you the one messing with the stocks?
00:18:36You're the president, shouldn't you be asking yourself that?
00:18:39Well, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be selling off some art pieces to cover the losses
00:18:46And yeah, that's your mom's last piece
00:18:49The bid goes for one dollar
00:18:57And yeah, that's your mom's last piece
00:19:00The bid goes for one dollar
00:19:04I hope you have your invitation for the auction
00:19:09You crazy bitch!
00:19:12Oh!
00:19:13Things are different now, sister
00:19:15I'm going to get every single one of her pieces back
00:19:17This isn't over!
00:19:23Mom, I'm going to protect your artwork and your company
00:19:27I promise
00:19:29Hey, who's got you so down, chica?
00:19:32Leave me alone
00:19:34You need my company
00:19:37Leave her alone
00:19:45Who the fuck?
00:19:46I'm her husband
00:19:48I get it, someone's unsatisfied
00:20:01Are you alright?
00:20:04Are you alright?
00:20:06I'm fine, thank you
00:20:13You feeling confident?
00:20:15Let's see
00:20:19Let us go, unless you want to see some blood
00:20:24Run
00:20:34Run
00:20:40They're not there now
00:20:44Let's go
00:20:52They're gone
00:20:55Just to be safe, I think I should hold your hands a little longer
00:20:59Is just holding my hands enough?
00:21:03Not really
00:21:06What else do you want?
00:21:2880% of the items are your mother's belongings, starting at $1
00:21:34They're trying to humiliate her
00:21:36And we can't let them get away with this
00:21:38Yeah, but Mara's definitely going to have some tricks up her sleeve
00:21:41Then we need a white knight
00:21:47Norman!
00:21:58Are you okay? You sounded urgent on the phone
00:22:01I need to ask you a favor
00:22:03As long as I can make it happen
00:22:05I need you to pretend to be the heir of Norman Group
00:22:13You want me to impersonate the heir of Norman?
00:22:16The heir's assistant, there's no one better for the job
00:22:19I can ask him for real
00:22:21These items were supposed to be my mother's legacy
00:22:24And then she was kicked out of the group that she founded by Mara's mother
00:22:28And now they're trying to cash in on her belongings
00:22:31I need the heir to back you at the auction
00:22:34You're my only choice
00:22:41Since you're Laura's daughter, do you know who the new president is?
00:22:47Of course
00:22:49Who is it?
00:22:55Me
00:23:01Who is it?
00:23:05Me
00:23:11I'm sorry, that was a bad joke
00:23:15Thank goodness that you're not a stand-up comedian
00:23:19Enough said
00:23:21I can help you to get those things back
00:23:24Thank you
00:23:40Are you being watched?
00:23:42Not yet, did I really have to dress like a secret agent?
00:23:47Mara's met you already, she might recognize you
00:23:50No way
00:23:52In this outfit, I barely even recognize myself
00:24:06Renee
00:24:17Renee
00:24:19It's been a long time
00:24:21Oh, not long enough
00:24:23Did you even think about saying hello when you got back?
00:24:26Well, I don't exactly fit in with the family of thieves and liars
00:24:29Isn't that right, Miss President?
00:24:31Oh, sharp tongue just like your mother
00:24:34I wonder how many auction items you're going to get to buy before you deplete your pocketbook
00:24:39I wonder what the value of a useless dead body would bring to tonight
00:24:44Don't worry
00:24:46The only thing you can steal from my mother and I is this coward
00:24:52Welcome to today's auction
00:24:54Up first, we have a painting by Laura Brown
00:24:58And we will start the bidding at...
00:25:01One dollar
00:25:08One hundred thousand
00:25:11One hundred and one thousand
00:25:13Two hundred thousand
00:25:14Two hundred and one thousand
00:25:19Five hundred thousand
00:25:26Sold! Congratulations, guest number eight, who is...
00:25:30The heir of the Norman Group
00:25:41Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Norman, on securing all the items thus far
00:25:47Mom, I have to go for him
00:25:49Oh dear, don't rush it
00:25:51You've got to play hard to get
00:25:53For the final item this evening, we have a set of matching rings
00:25:57My mother's wedding rings
00:25:59They will start at just one dollar
00:26:03One hundred thousand
00:26:06Do I hear another bid?
00:26:09Sold! Congratulations on securing yet another item
00:26:19Before you start talking big, you might want to check your bank account
00:26:23Yeah, you're screwed
00:26:25Even Norman's heir is on our side
00:26:27I wouldn't be so sure about that
00:26:29Congratulations, Miss Brown
00:26:31Congratulations, Miss Brown
00:26:33Mr. Norman has transferred all the items in your name
00:26:36Here's the transfer document
00:26:41Who's screwed now?
00:26:51Have you met this heir in person?
00:26:53Yeah, why would Mr. Norman help you?
00:26:55Mr. Norman!
00:26:58Wait a second
00:27:01I knew it! You're the assistant
00:27:03Assistant? How is the assistant going to pay for all this?
00:27:07About that, according to my mother's will, these items were always mine
00:27:12And now they're finally back where they belong
00:27:14I see that
00:27:17Chloe, I have to thank you for holding this auction
00:27:20Otherwise, I never would have known where you'd hidden them
00:27:23That orphanage has taught you quite a bit, hasn't it?
00:27:31All the items today will go to Renee Brown
00:27:49Thank you
00:27:51I wouldn't have gotten these back so quickly if it wasn't for you
00:27:54I was just doing my job, as your husband
00:28:00I have something for you
00:28:04Even though this is a marriage of convenience, we should still have rings
00:28:09Are you sure? It was your mom's
00:28:12More than ever
00:28:20Renee Brown
00:28:24Will you marry me?
00:28:30You're too late
00:28:32I'm already taken
00:28:37By you
00:28:44By you
00:29:00By you
00:29:31Hello?
00:29:33Wake up, Renee!
00:29:35Norman Group is fighting back!
00:29:37They're buying up our stock in large quantities!
00:29:39What?
00:29:42Are you sure about that?
00:29:44I'm done lying to her
00:29:46I'm ready to tell her that I'm the one in charge of the Norman Group
00:30:00Something urgent?
00:30:01Yeah, it's... I'll explain later
00:30:10Maybe next time
00:30:18I didn't see your reservation, Grandpa
00:30:21I didn't know I needed permission to come to my old office
00:30:25How's Florida?
00:30:26Not bad
00:30:28Until I found out that you're married to somebody I don't even know
00:30:33Yep
00:30:34My ship has sailed
00:30:36Nothing you can do about it
00:30:38Is that so?
00:30:40I've already called Fiona back from Europe
00:30:43Get ready for your marriage with her
00:30:46I'm already the head of the Norman Group
00:30:48Not even you can interfere with my life anymore
00:30:52You don't know what I'm capable of, young man
00:31:01It's a good thing we reacted quickly
00:31:04Damage wasn't too severe
00:31:06How come we're meeting here and not at your house?
00:31:10Barrett's there
00:31:12Wait, are you two living together?
00:31:14No, not yet
00:31:16Still haven't told him
00:31:22Hello?
00:31:23Are you available tonight?
00:31:25I have something to tell you
00:31:35What happened?
00:31:36Nothing, just some family issues
00:31:39Well, I'm an expert in that
00:31:43If you are having family issues, you could always come stay at my place
00:31:49Are you asking me to move in with you?
00:31:52Will you?
00:31:55Barry, I missed you so much
00:31:58Fiona?
00:32:07It's been so long, you still like black coffee?
00:32:10No, thank you
00:32:12I admire your devotion
00:32:15And who is she?
00:32:17This is Renee, she's my...
00:32:19His blind date
00:32:21Really?
00:32:22Yeah
00:32:23But I have to think twice about whether to continue
00:32:26Well, I guess I've been gone for too long
00:32:29But I came back to marry Barrett
00:32:32Isn't that right?
00:32:34Fiona, I'm already married and Renee...
00:32:37I know
00:32:38But Benjamin told me that you're willing to divorce her anytime for me
00:32:42Is that so?
00:32:44Good to know
00:32:46Excuse me for a moment, you two can wrap it up
00:32:52Renee, let me explain first
00:32:54Explain what?
00:32:56You have a gravely ill grandfather, you have to marry a wealthy woman to pay for his treatment?
00:33:01That is such a cliche, even for a soap opera
00:33:04Wait, it's not true
00:33:08RENEE
00:33:13Oh, what's going on?
00:33:15You two had a fight?
00:33:17None of your business
00:33:18Barry, I haven't had time to book a hotel yet
00:33:21Why don't I stay at your place?
00:33:25Such a gentleman would never say no
00:33:27Sweet dreams, both of you
00:33:33Enough, I'm not going to divorce Renee and I'm certainly not going to get married to you
00:33:36So she's your quickie wife?
00:33:39Now I know why Benjamin called me
00:33:41She's not a quickie, she's the love of my life
00:34:06You invited me, no taking backsies
00:34:36I thought you were going to leave me
00:34:38No chance
00:34:45The thing I fear the most is deceit and betrayal
00:34:50I know, and I won't do either of those things
00:34:55Do you promise?
00:34:57I promise
00:35:00No one kisses me right now
00:35:16I don't recall ever seeing any jokes in there
00:35:18No man, I moved in with Renee
00:35:21Oh yeah, totally normal thing to do, for a married couple
00:35:27Okay, look, I'm just waiting for the right time to properly propose
00:35:31What do you think about me purchasing the Laura group as a gift for her?
00:35:35You think she'll like it?
00:35:37Oh my god, I hate rich people
00:35:39Come on man, I mean it
00:35:42Look, it was founded by her mom, right?
00:35:44I know that we still don't know who the president is
00:35:46But the company deserves to be back in the hands of its rightful owner
00:35:50Alright, Romeo
00:35:54The front desk handed this to me
00:35:56Said it was from someone anonymous
00:36:01Wait a second
00:36:03Isn't this the room that me and Renee first met?
00:36:06Don't tell me she's planning on proposing officially as well
00:36:10We'll see
00:36:24Renee?
00:36:26Oh, hi
00:36:48I just keep loving you more
00:36:51Yeah, me too
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:55I can take you there
00:36:57Don't worry, what happens here stays here
00:37:01No, you're psychotic
00:37:04Does she know who you really are?
00:37:07You two are from completely different worlds
00:37:09There's no future for you and her
00:37:11Thanks for your input
00:37:13If you leave, you're gonna regret it
00:37:15If I stay, I'll regret it
00:37:17Don't think about pulling any more tricks
00:37:19I can pull all of your company's investments in a second
00:37:46You have something for me?
00:37:47I'm sorry, but you deserve to know
00:37:53I know you're married to him
00:37:55And I said no at first, but
00:37:58As you know, his passion is unstoppable
00:38:02Don't be sad over a man who doesn't love you
00:38:09Is that it?
00:38:11What do you mean?
00:38:13Are you okay with your husband cheating on you?
00:38:15Why not?
00:38:17I already told Renee everything
00:38:20Your plan failed
00:38:28Better luck next time
00:38:31No, stop
00:38:33That won't work on me
00:38:35You could make some real money on OnlyFans, though
00:38:37Go back to Europe, Fiona
00:38:39And don't ever come back
00:38:42Renee, do you really trust your husband?
00:38:46Don't bother
00:38:48I know he has his secrets
00:38:51And I've got mine
00:38:53We've promised to give each other space
00:38:56Enjoy your flight, Fiona
00:39:13Finally
00:39:18What's got you so happy?
00:39:22You don't have to wait for tonight
00:39:24You can't tell me no
00:39:26You've got to keep some level of surprise and suspense in our relationship
00:39:29Can I drown the queen?
00:39:37I'm sorry
00:39:40I'm sorry
00:39:43Renee, Norman Group just became our largest shareholder
00:39:45I need you at the office now
00:39:49Norman
00:39:57Norman
00:40:02What's wrong? Something happen?
00:40:04Something urgent just came up
00:40:06I gotta go
00:40:08Don't forget to be back by seven
00:40:10I've got something important planned
00:40:16What's going on?
00:40:17How did Norman Group buy into our company?
00:40:19Mara and Chloe sold their shares to Norman Group to cash out
00:40:22Plus the other shares that Norman bought at high prices
00:40:26Norman Group now owns 50% of the company
00:40:29Well, do we know who's behind this?
00:40:32The company is now expecting their president out there
00:40:35Are you sure about this?
00:40:38What are you doing here?
00:40:47What are you doing here?
00:40:50I've been meaning to introduce myself properly
00:40:52I'm the president of Laura Group
00:40:55Even if you are the president
00:40:57I know that you don't have any power because of the Norman Group
00:41:00What a shame
00:41:01The Norman Group is well on its way to taking over this company
00:41:05I wonder how long your struggle will be before your defeat
00:41:08Security, kick her out
00:41:10I don't want her going anywhere near the office
00:41:12Don't let her even take a picture
00:41:14No, until Norman Group holds their shareholder meeting
00:41:17I still have control of this company
00:41:18Let me go
00:41:19Are you really gonna let them steal from my mom again?
00:41:22It still belongs to our family
00:41:24Family
00:41:25How can you use that word, you coward?
00:41:28Well, it looks like the wild child is lacking etiquette
00:41:32I think you need a lesson
00:41:36Don't you dare
00:41:37What?
00:41:44Don't you dare
00:41:45What?
00:41:50This is my final warning
00:41:53This is a Brown family matter
00:41:55You need not get involved
00:41:56Funny, I don't see myself standing in the Brown family household
00:42:00Is the heir's assistant always so audacious?
00:42:03Actually, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Norman
00:42:06To appoint Renee as the new president of the Laura Group
00:42:10Are you serious?
00:42:12You heard me right
00:42:13Now I assume you would like to clear out these three
00:42:16I am so sorry, but since you've traded away all of your shares
00:42:19You no longer have any stake in the Laura Group
00:42:23Please leave
00:42:25Let's go, ladies, let's go
00:42:33Let me get this straight
00:42:34Norman Group, as the largest shareholder of Laura Group
00:42:38Wants me to be president?
00:42:39Indeed
00:42:40Well, I don't understand why they would do that
00:42:42I don't have any connection to them
00:42:45Except
00:42:54I don't have any connection to them
00:42:57Except
00:42:59Well, I was gonna tell you tonight
00:43:01I was gonna tell you tonight
00:43:02Actually, I
00:43:03Are you really just Mr. Norman's assistant?
00:43:05Huh?
00:43:06My relationship to him is through you
00:43:08How did you convince him to do it?
00:43:10Does he know I've been opposing him the whole time?
00:43:12Opposing him?
00:43:13What do you mean?
00:43:14I should have told you sooner
00:43:19I've been president of Laura Group all along
00:43:21Wait, so you're the reason for the stock drop?
00:43:26Well, let's take it as a happy coincidence
00:43:31Thank you
00:43:32It must have taken you a lot to make this happen
00:43:35You have to let me meet Mr. Norman
00:43:39Sure, sure
00:43:42What are you waiting for?
00:43:56Dude
00:43:57Why didn't you come clean back there?
00:43:59It's too much for her to process today
00:44:01I'll take it to her another day
00:44:02What are you hesitating for, man?
00:44:04Isn't it a good thing for the husband to be loaded eye candy?
00:44:09Renee isn't shallow like that
00:44:11If she finds out that she lost to me in this business arrangement
00:44:14She's not gonna be happy
00:44:16Well, you played the game and you won
00:44:18She needs to accept that
00:44:20She can lose, okay?
00:44:22But not to me in disguise
00:44:24It's different
00:44:27I guess marriage is hard
00:44:29Can't wait to see your wedding day
00:44:35The thing I fear most is deceit and betrayal
00:44:47Congrats, Renee
00:44:48I always knew you were something special
00:44:50Really?
00:44:51Then who was it that mistook Mara for the president?
00:44:54Well, everyone makes mistakes
00:44:57But that won't happen again now that you're in charge
00:45:00Whoa, that necklace is gorgeous
00:45:03Only someone like you could pull it off
00:45:05What, this?
00:45:06No, this is a knockoff
00:45:07Barrett gave it to me at a party to show off
00:45:10And I wear it for fun
00:45:12No way
00:45:13I've never made mistakes in luxury
00:45:16There's no chance that's a knockoff
00:45:18Alright, I'm not gonna hold you accountable for the past
00:45:20You can stop with the flattery
00:45:21For short, stop sucking up
00:45:24Don't you have work to be doing?
00:45:26Yeah, yeah, I'm on it
00:45:28But seriously, that necklace is real
00:45:31No flattery, just facts
00:45:38That necklace is real
00:45:40No flattery, just facts
00:45:46What if Carl's right?
00:45:47How much would that cost?
00:45:49No, even though he works for Norman Group
00:45:51Something like this would still be a stretch
00:45:55Unless...
00:45:56Because I'm the real heir
00:45:58Assistant
00:45:59I came back to marry Barrett
00:46:01I was gonna tell you tonight, actually
00:46:06No, Barrett is nothing like those trust fund kids
00:46:11Hold on
00:46:15The necklace is real
00:46:16Look
00:46:18Your Barrett is Barrett Norman
00:46:20The heir to the Norman Group
00:46:26Dude, don't bother confessing
00:46:28Looks like someone already did it for you
00:46:30What?
00:46:31Who did this?
00:46:39Get the PR team in here
00:46:40I want this article redacted and any rumors squashed immediately
00:46:46Uh, you have a visitor
00:46:48Not now!
00:46:53So the article was true
00:46:57Let me explain
00:46:58I was gonna tell you earlier, but then I found out that you were the...
00:47:01Well, I found out that I was the president of the company you acquired
00:47:03Your defeated opponent, right?
00:47:05Not true
00:47:06Then what is the truth?
00:47:08Were you afraid to hurt my pride?
00:47:10Or was it just fun for you to watch me be fooled?
00:47:13You don't get it, Renee
00:47:14I acquired the lower group for you as a gift
00:47:16I know how important it is to you and your mom
00:47:18Hey, don't talk about my mother
00:47:20I don't get it
00:47:22You were so excited about this before you knew who I was, so why not now?
00:47:25Because I don't need your mercy
00:47:27I had a plan, I was capable of doing it myself
00:47:29I was your husband, I wanted to help you to carry the burden
00:47:32Is that so wrong?
00:47:34No
00:47:36Not anymore
00:47:40What's that supposed to mean?
00:47:45Have your lawyer contact mine
00:47:48We're getting a divorce
00:47:50Renee
00:47:57Did you really mean it about the divorce?
00:47:59Shouldn't you two talk things over?
00:48:01What is there to talk about?
00:48:03We're just different kinds of people
00:48:05Pretty much the same to me
00:48:07Both executives, both enjoy identity games
00:48:09I thought that you were supposed to be on my side
00:48:11I am
00:48:15I feel like you're being a little too impulsive
00:48:17If Barrett had known you as the president
00:48:19Maybe he wouldn't have acted like this
00:48:21Maybe he would have assisted you in a different way
00:48:23Maybe that's my issue
00:48:26The Browns think money can solve anything
00:48:29Including love and dignity
00:48:33I don't know if Barrett's like that too
00:48:36You do
00:48:38You know deep down Barrett isn't like that
00:48:45Should I trust you Barrett?
00:48:57Renee
00:48:58What do I have to do to get you back?
00:49:15Oh
00:49:21Hey
00:49:22Renee
00:49:23You're back
00:49:25I'm sorry I did it out of love for you
00:49:28Please forgive me
00:49:30It's okay
00:49:31I have my faults too
00:49:33So you're not divorcing me?
00:49:35Why should I?
00:49:37I'm not dreaming am I?
00:49:40No
00:49:42This is real
00:49:46Let's get you to bed
00:49:55Relax
00:49:57Come here Renee
00:50:09What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:29Fiona
00:50:31What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:34What the hell are you doing here?
00:50:37Don't you remember?
00:50:39It was you who suggested we get together last night
00:50:41What?
00:50:42No way
00:50:43Last night it was
00:50:44It was Renee
00:50:47It was you
00:50:49Don't get close to me
00:50:53And keep your mouth shut
00:50:55If you don't
00:50:56I won't let you live it down
00:50:58I won't let you live it down
00:51:20Where are the photos?
00:51:23You seem not mad
00:51:25He made his decision
00:51:27Aren't you guys getting a divorce?
00:51:29You seem well informed
00:51:31Regardless
00:51:32Barrett is still a shareholder in my company
00:51:34And it's my job to protect our reputation from people like you
00:51:39Well
00:51:41I admire your sanity
00:51:44Have a drink with me
00:51:46And I'll give you all the photos
00:51:48And I'll leave the rest to you
00:51:50I'll give you all the photos
00:51:52And I'll leave Barrett alone
00:52:07Did you drug me?
00:52:10Yes
00:52:11I did
00:52:13And by the way
00:52:15I was the one who wrote the article revealing Barrett's identity
00:52:21Barrett
00:52:31Renee?
00:52:39Remember to sign these papers
00:52:42The company rightfully belongs to you
00:52:45That was my promise
00:52:48Maybe my last one
00:53:02I love you
00:53:09Mr. Norman?
00:53:10What are you doing here? Where's Renee?
00:53:12I need your help
00:53:13Renee is missing
00:53:14Missing?
00:53:18Missing?
00:53:31Do we really have to?
00:53:33She's still my daughter
00:53:35Zip it
00:53:36You want the money or not?
00:53:37Dad, as long as she's willing to sign, we'll let her go
00:53:48You must be starving
00:53:52You know I'm allergic to nuts, right?
00:53:59Look, Renee
00:54:01Just sign the documents
00:54:03Sign your shares over to Chloe
00:54:05And I guarantee you she'll let you go
00:54:08Let me go?
00:54:10Did you give my mom that choice?
00:54:12Just kill me
00:54:14If you dare
00:54:17I'll kill you
00:54:26My detectives are still searching
00:54:28But her last location update was 12 hours ago
00:54:31Alright, keep me in the loop
00:54:40What are you doing here?
00:54:42Barry, why do you look so stressed?
00:54:45How did you get in?
00:54:46I just walked in
00:54:48As your fiance
00:54:49Get out
00:54:51You're the last person I want to see right now
00:54:57Kick me out and you'll never see her again
00:55:03Where is she?
00:55:05She's alive
00:55:07For now
00:55:08But only if you agree to one condition
00:55:12What do you want?
00:55:15Marry me
00:55:23What do you want?
00:55:26Marry me
00:55:29You're sick
00:55:30You kidnapped Renee just so that you could marry me?
00:55:34Don't flatter yourself
00:55:36It was never you that I wanted
00:55:38What do you mean?
00:55:40Well, ever since I was born
00:55:43Everyone swore to me that I was going to be the future Mrs. Norman
00:55:46So this is all just about power
00:55:48Exactly
00:55:50Blame it on being the head of the Norman Company
00:55:53You were always destined to be my husband
00:56:00Take your time to think about it
00:56:02But not too long
00:56:04She's got a lot of enemies
00:56:11Enemies?
00:56:15Paul, find Damon for me
00:56:17Right now
00:56:24Go after him
00:56:30Just give me three days
00:56:32I'll get your money back, I promise
00:56:34Where is Maura Brown?
00:56:36I wouldn't know
00:56:38She broke up with me a long time ago
00:56:42Do you want me to call your creditors over here?
00:56:44Okay, okay
00:56:45But I swear I had nothing to do with the kidnapping
00:56:48How much do you know?
00:56:50Maura asked me to help her
00:56:52I didn't, I didn't
00:56:54Wait, then how could you know where she is?
00:56:56I have Maura's GPS
00:56:59This is her location
00:57:09We can't tip them off until we make our move
00:57:17I agree to get engaged with you
00:57:22Paul, you need a new suit
00:57:39I'm sorry
00:57:48Didn't Miss Norman just get married?
00:57:51Why is he getting engaged again?
00:57:53It's a business marriage, it's pretty common
00:57:58If you're going to act, do it right
00:58:01I'm not as fake as you
00:58:03I can't pull it off
00:58:05Make me happy and that woman might stay alive
00:58:15Excuse me, your majesty
00:58:17I have a very important phone call to make
00:58:19I'll be back
00:58:31I need her dead
00:58:33Now
00:58:41I have a very important phone call to make
00:58:43I'll be back
00:58:49Here's the keys to your rental
00:58:51It'll keep them from spotting you
00:58:52Thanks man
00:58:53Yeah
00:58:54I really appreciate you coming through for this
00:58:56You gotta hurry, okay?
00:58:58I don't want to be here for too long
