Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Bradley, I'm pregnant.
00:00:02You're going to be your father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:12For Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:16I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:18Catherine hired me to be vice president in her family's hospital.
00:00:21She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:30She's pregnant.
00:00:31What?
00:00:33She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:35No, it's me so desperate.
00:00:38Give it back. Stop.
00:00:40Give it back.
00:01:00What happened?
00:01:11The baby.
00:01:12Is the baby okay?
00:01:17I'm so sorry.
00:01:20We've lost the baby.
00:01:24I'm so sorry.
00:01:30We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:32We're right here.
00:01:41I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:46I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:48Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:50This isn't about revenge.
00:01:52This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:58Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:06I have an important announcement.
00:02:08My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:13Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:15I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:18I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:21Trust me.
00:02:23I'm more than ready.
00:02:24Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:33Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:35There is a condition.
00:02:40You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:45Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:47It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:51It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:54I'll do it.
00:02:54I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:00And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:08Isn't Joshua Lane fans for being called them Ruffles?
00:03:20That's what I heard.
00:03:21I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:23I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:24Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:47Not interested.
00:03:48Get lost.
00:03:52Man, you are brutal.
00:03:54That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:57Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:03:59Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:01This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:03Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:04Oh, come on.
00:04:05She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:07There must be some perks to her.
00:04:09Perks are not.
00:04:10She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:12Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:14Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:24Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:31I do.
00:04:34And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:39I do.
00:04:41Uh, the rings?
00:04:42You may now kiss the bride.
00:04:52Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:07This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:11Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:13Understood.
00:05:15And vice versa.
00:05:15My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:05:34My assistant will set it up.
00:05:35She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:37Done.
00:05:38Done.
00:05:45You're right.
00:05:47Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:05:50Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:05:53What agency are we using?
00:05:55We're still deciding.
00:05:56Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:05:59Perfect.
00:06:01I have a plan.
00:06:05I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:06:09It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:06:11That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:06:13What do you ask of me in return?
00:06:17I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:06:20I don't mind.
00:06:21I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:06:28You have a deal.
00:06:30The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:06:34There's a little more.
00:06:36I need you to spread the word.
00:06:37Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:06:45You got it.
00:06:46No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:06:52Wonderful.
00:06:53Thanks.
00:06:54Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:06:55I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you.
00:07:04But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:07:08I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be after my position.
00:07:12I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:07:15How do you know about this?
00:07:16Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:07:18A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:07:21And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:07:25You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:07:28Why are you helping me?
00:07:32Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:07:35Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:07:37It's all business.
00:07:41Business, right.
00:07:44Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:07:49How did you know about that?
00:07:51You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:07:56I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:07:58I mean, he cheated on you.
00:08:01So what?
00:08:04She must be faking it to trap you.
00:08:09How dare you?
00:08:10You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:08:14I can take care of myself.
00:08:16Watch this happen.
00:08:24To your new position as senior VP.
00:08:28And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:08:31Absolutely.
00:08:32You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:08:33Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:08:41Poor and tireless.
00:08:42That's all she ever was.
00:08:43She's a joke.
00:08:45A stepping stone at best.
00:08:47You by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:08:49Katherine's hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:09:04Bradley, as the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:09:08Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:09:09Now, as per your request.
00:09:11Perfect. Keep at it.
00:09:18Now, how do I pull this off?
00:09:28There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:09:32These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:09:35Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:09:39I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap.
00:09:46After the breakup.
00:09:48Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:09:50Mia helped me.
00:09:51But unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:09:54I won't be able to return her favor.
00:09:56Do you care for her?
00:09:58You don't dislike her?
00:10:01Now, Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:10:05Not you.
00:10:06She's a grown woman.
00:10:08She knows what she wants.
00:10:09Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:10:11Especially not you.
00:10:20You can choose not to share the information,
00:10:23but you won't be helping her.
00:10:25your choice.
00:10:30All right, look.
00:10:32If you have to know,
00:10:34unfortunately,
00:10:36Mia had a miscarriage
00:10:38because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:10:42it's enough.
00:10:58I'll be open.
00:11:03It's none of your business. Not that you would know what that means.
00:11:08I'm sorry for overstepping and being insensitive. I learned about your miscarriage. I had no idea.
00:11:15You didn't know?
00:11:17That doesn't excuse my behavior. I apologize.
00:11:21I may have overreacted.
00:11:23You were hurting. That's understandable.
00:11:26So you're not a robot, like everyone says you are?
00:11:30Of course I'm not. Who says that?
00:11:32Everyone. Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:11:38I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:11:41Bar them all.
00:11:43No, no. No, it's okay. They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:11:49Besides, I think you should talk like this. It suits you.
00:11:55It's not funny.
00:11:58It's late.
00:12:01I'm going to bed.
00:12:04Okay.
00:12:07Good night.
00:12:10Talk like this.
00:12:16Go ahead with the plan. Short the stock of Catherine's company. I want to see them bleed.
00:12:33Mia, you need to see this. The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically. They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:12:48Just a week? How is this possible?
00:12:51Seems like a coordinated attack. Someone powerful is behind this.
00:12:57Joshua.
00:13:00Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:13:06Yes, I did.
00:13:08Why?
00:13:09Strictly for business.
00:13:10To protect our family's alliances. Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:13:14Thank you, Joshua.
00:13:15I just did what's necessary. Just like you would do.
00:13:17Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:13:19Bradley, what are we going to do? They're taking everything!
00:13:31I can't believe this is happening.
00:13:34As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:13:39Yes, the Gerber Corporation. As in my family's company.
00:13:42Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:13:45Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:13:48You betrayed and hurt my wife. Now you're facing the consequences.
00:13:52I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:13:54Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:13:57I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:14:02Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you. This hospital is all that I have left. Please!
00:14:11That day that I fell, you stood there and watched. You made your decision then.
00:14:17Mia, can we talk? I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:14:36Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:14:40I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:14:42I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:14:47Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:14:51I know. I just... I need you to know that I will always care about you deeply.
00:14:57You're really like they say. Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:15:10You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:15:16I do not engage with women who have no shame. Get your hands off me.
00:15:34Catherine manipulated me, but now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:15:42We could start over. With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:15:47We could be parents again. Give us a chance.
00:15:50You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now. You're a piece of human trash.
00:15:59You're right. I'm dirty. But think about all the good memories we have. Think about more to come.
00:16:04Just... Let go.
00:16:05Mia, don't. I'm serious. Don't. Get the fuck out of here.
00:16:11Get the fuck out of here.
00:16:18I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:16:20It's fine, Joshua. Thank you for stepping in. Thank you for... everything.
00:16:30Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:16:33Right. Yeah. The business plan.
00:16:37You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:16:41Don't look into it too much. Let's go.
00:16:44Actually, um... you know what?
00:16:47Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone.
00:16:51To... figure out my feelings.
00:16:54I understand.
00:16:56They've destroyed everything.
00:17:03We can't let them get away with this.
00:17:09What if we take Mia?
00:17:12A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:17:15Yes.
00:17:17Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:17:19Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:17:22But how will we get to Mia?
00:17:24I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:17:27From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:17:31To go to Mia.
00:17:32A ransom!
00:17:33What if she said?
00:17:34You know what she said?
00:17:35I know.
00:17:36She's a vampire.
00:17:37She's a vampire.
00:17:39I know.
00:17:41It's the two-year-old.
00:17:42I know.
00:17:43No, no, no.
00:17:44I know.
00:17:45You know.
00:17:46I know.
00:17:47I know.
00:17:49I know.
00:17:50I know.
00:17:51I know.
00:17:52I know.
00:17:53I know.
00:17:54I know.
00:17:55I know.
00:18:26Hey!
00:18:33Hey!
00:18:36Help!
00:18:44Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:18:48You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:18:53Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:18:56That's what we're talking about to me.
00:19:14Look at you.
00:19:16Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:19:18Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:19:23You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:19:32Joshua Lane?
00:19:34Listen.
00:19:35We have Mia Gerber.
00:19:37You want her back?
00:19:38Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:19:40I'll pay the ransom.
00:19:40But listen to me clearly.
00:19:43I will hunt you down and you'll wish you never cross me.
00:19:54Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:19:59These are the possible locations where Mia can be.
00:20:03This one.
00:20:04Mia.
00:20:16I've got you.
00:20:18I've got you.
00:20:22Let's get you out of here.
00:20:22Let's go.
00:20:50Josh, Josh, stop!
00:21:04It's not worth it.
00:21:20I forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:21:36Made you some soup.
00:21:44It's very unique.
00:21:47What is this?
00:21:48My mom's recipe.
00:21:50Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:21:53Thought it might comfort you.
00:21:56Must have made it wrong.
00:21:57It's wonderful.
00:21:59I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:22:02It's nothing.
00:22:04I just did what I had to do.
00:22:08Josh, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:22:14Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:22:16A guest has arrived.
00:22:17Her name is Susie Harper.
00:22:18Susie's back.
00:22:27Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:22:29Thank you so much.
00:22:35Susie, it's been ages.
00:22:38When's the last time we saw each other?
00:22:40Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:22:44It's been too long.
00:22:45Welcome back, Susie.
00:22:46I came back just for you.
00:22:47Oh, there's so much.
00:22:50Hey.
00:22:52Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:22:56Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:22:59So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:23:03Oh, Susie, that's enough.
00:23:06Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:23:09We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:23:13He means a lot to me.
00:23:15I want him to be happy.
00:23:17I think we all want that.
00:23:18Do you?
00:23:20Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:23:23He confides in me.
00:23:25I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:23:27He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:23:31Right.
00:23:32Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:23:34So, I'll leave you to it.
00:23:41Susie, why would you say those things?
00:23:45I told you I have doubts before the wedding.
00:23:47Not since then.
00:23:49Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:23:51I was just speaking up for you.
00:23:53I don't need you to look out for me.
00:23:56I'm sorry.
00:23:58I just...
00:23:59I was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:24:06I don't mind it now.
00:24:08Do you like her?
00:24:10She's fine.
00:24:13This means I still have a chance.
00:24:16Joshua.
00:24:18If I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:24:25I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:24:26Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:24:30Susie, you're a great friend.
00:24:33Of course.
00:24:35I'll always be there for you.
00:24:43How's it going?
00:24:45It's this marriage.
00:24:47It's Joshua.
00:24:48He's like a shadow.
00:24:49He's always there, but never really close.
00:24:52You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:24:59Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:25:03Thank you, Noah.
00:25:07How can I live without you?
00:25:11I can't live without you.
00:25:12I can't live without you.
00:25:34How can I live without you?
00:25:35I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:25:38I'll do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:25:51Joshua!
00:25:54We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:25:57Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:26:01Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:26:03I don't even know what that means.
00:26:05There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:26:07You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:26:09What?
00:26:11Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:26:12I don't care.
00:26:29What's he doing here?
00:26:33Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:26:35And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:26:50And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:26:53Seems like all talk with no action.
00:26:55What are you two doing?
00:26:59What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so abrasion?
00:27:02This is ridiculous. You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:27:04I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:27:07I'm sorry, Mia.
00:27:08I didn't mean to cause any rift between the two.
00:27:10It wasn't my intention.
00:27:11It's fine.
00:27:13Why are you here?
00:27:14I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:27:17I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:27:23Is that Dwayne?
00:27:25And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:27:31This plan is our game changer.
00:27:32What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest rival.
00:27:37They're going in a completely different direction.
00:27:39We are way ahead of them.
00:27:41And how do you know that?
00:27:43The CEO approached me the other day.
00:27:46He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:27:49Like, I'd be trying my own company.
00:27:52I'd be a fool to think that.
00:27:54Right. Of course, Dwayne.
00:27:56Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:28:05See? He's fine.
00:28:07I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:28:10I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:28:13Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:28:15I will.
00:28:16Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:28:26Excellent. Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:28:32Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:28:34We'll be the number one.
00:28:36Me and Gerber will be out of the company.
00:28:40And I'll be the number one.
00:28:47How did they get ahead of us?
00:28:49This was our strategy.
00:28:51Where's Dwayne?
00:28:52He's outside.
00:29:06Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:29:11The similarity of the details to ours is...uncanny.
00:29:16I don't know.
00:29:18We kept everything under wraps.
00:29:19They must have developed this independently, Mia.
00:29:24You're just too young.
00:29:25You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:29:28This stuff happens.
00:29:30I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:29:34And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:29:37You can move.
00:29:49Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:29:54Doesn't look good on you.
00:29:57Wow.
00:29:59Thanks for the comfort.
00:30:04Dammit, why did I have to say that like that?
00:30:09Miss Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:30:11What?
00:30:12We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:30:22It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:30:28Acquiring Catherine Finney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:30:37Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:30:40Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:30:44I believe under my leadership our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:30:52That's due to the overall market trend.
00:30:55Not because you're leadership.
00:30:58My strategies have been more than effective.
00:31:01The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:31:04And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:31:08This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision.
00:31:12Not someone learning on a job.
00:31:15As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:31:21I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:31:27I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:31:35What is this? What are you doing?
00:31:38These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:31:40Melody Healthcare.
00:31:41He leaked our strategy.
00:31:46You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:31:49I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:31:51All these years I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:31:54I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this load.
00:31:58Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:32:03We built this company on integrity and trust. Values you clearly lack.
00:32:09Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:32:12Wait, did you-
00:32:13Mia, we're so proud of you. You've really handled the crisis well.
00:32:31You truly are a go-go.
00:32:33Noah, I-I can't thank you enough.
00:32:38Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:32:41You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:32:46It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:32:49Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare,
00:32:53and I intercepted the tip.
00:32:57This is your schedule for the week.
00:32:59And what's this?
00:33:01Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:33:02Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:33:15Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:33:18I don't know, but the photos led me to dig deeper,
00:33:22and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:33:26Can I see the photos?
00:33:32I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:33:42Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:33:45Is this you, in the reflection?
00:33:47Were you following Dwayne?
00:33:49Yeah, it's me.
00:33:51When Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne,
00:33:53he's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:33:56We then delivered the photos.
00:33:58Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:34:02Should I tell Miss Lane you're here?
00:34:04No need to.
00:34:08Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:34:12Joshua's a...
00:34:14He's a complicated man.
00:34:16He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:34:19He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia.
00:34:21This must mean he cares about you.
00:34:24He could just talk to me next time.
00:34:26Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:34:29He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:34:32I just ask that you...
00:34:35Don't hurt him.
00:34:37No.
00:34:40You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:34:41Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:34:43It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:34:45What about it?
00:34:47I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:34:49Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:34:51It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:34:53Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the Alliance?
00:34:55Did you do it because...
00:34:56No, no, it's nothing like that.
00:34:57I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:35:00It would look bad for me.
00:35:02So it's all about appearances?
00:35:04Yes, Mia.
00:35:05It's all it ever is.
00:35:06We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:35:08Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:35:10Of living in a fantasy world.
00:35:12I'm so tired of this.
00:35:14Of living in a fantasy world.
00:35:16I'm so tired of this.
00:35:18I'm so tired of this.
00:35:20Of living in a fantasy world.
00:35:22I'm so tired of this.
00:35:24Of living in a fantasy world.
00:35:26Where I never actually get to know you.
00:35:29I'm more than just a tool.
00:35:30For business advancement.
00:35:32Or...
00:35:33Keeping up appearances.
00:35:36I want a divorce.
00:35:40I want a divorce.
00:35:45You sure about this?
00:35:48I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:35:51Not this.
00:35:53Facade.
00:35:54I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:35:59I want genuine happiness.
00:36:01I understand.
00:36:03If that's what you want.
00:36:08Joshua, please.
00:36:09Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:36:11Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:36:12Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:36:13Let's go.
00:36:14Everyone.
00:36:17Turns out.
00:36:19Okay.
00:36:20Let's organize.
00:36:21I love you.
00:36:22How is she doing that?
00:36:24I love you.
00:36:26That's where the $300.
00:36:28It's 20 it's $15 to $100.
00:36:31It's my only time for the shines have since-
00:36:34Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:36:56Mia.
00:36:57Mia?
00:36:59Here, don't leave.
00:37:01Don't leave.
00:37:01You're drunk.
00:37:02Please, help me take him to his closet.
00:37:04I'll take him to my place.
00:37:08He shouldn't be alone.
00:37:10Okay.
00:37:12Let's go.
00:37:22Mia.
00:37:24Mia.
00:37:32Morning, Josh.
00:37:34Here, drink this.
00:37:36You've had quite a night.
00:37:38Susie.
00:37:40Where am I?
00:37:42This is my apartment.
00:37:44Nothing bad happened.
00:37:46I also drove your car back here.
00:37:48How did I get here?
00:37:50You were really drunk.
00:37:52I didn't think you should be alone.
00:37:55Josh, what happened?
00:37:56It's over between me and Mia.
00:37:59We're getting a divorce.
00:38:06Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:38:09You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:38:15No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:38:40Why?
00:38:42I have always loved you.
00:38:46Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:38:50Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:38:54It can't be anything more.
00:38:57I'm sorry.
00:38:58Do you really love that Mia Kerber?
00:39:06Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:39:10I need to go tell her.
00:39:11Now.
00:39:11You're calling to the origin to an automatic appointment.
00:39:37No.
00:39:39No.
00:39:55No, uh, hey.
00:39:57I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:39:59Are you okay?
00:40:00I'm fine.
00:40:02It's just...
00:40:03It's for the best.
00:40:04There's something I need to tell you.
00:40:06Sorry. It's the hospital. Hello? What? What happened? Is he okay? Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:40:18What's wrong? It's Joshua. He's been in an accident.
00:40:28Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:40:36Joshua.
00:40:41Miss Gerber? Yeah?
00:40:43We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:40:48It's somebody's fault.
00:40:52It was nobody's fault. It was an accident. But right now, he needs you. Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:41:02I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:41:06You remember that soup you made me?
00:41:10It meant the world to me.
00:41:13Whenever you get better, I'm gonna make you that soup.
00:41:19Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:41:22It was those little moments with you.
00:41:26You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:41:32sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:41:34Please come back to me.
00:41:49This is all your fault, Mia.
00:41:51You drove him to this.
00:41:54You hurt him.
00:41:55And now, look what's happened to him.
00:41:57Mia, we have a problem.
00:42:07Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:42:12Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:42:14So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:42:17I won't stand for it.
00:42:18What's the plan?
00:42:20I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:42:22He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:42:23His voice can sway their mind.
00:42:28Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:42:31I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:42:34After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:42:37You're too, Craig.
00:42:38I'm merely stating a fact.
00:42:40Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:42:44So, tell me.
00:42:46Why do you want to see me?
00:42:48Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:42:49You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:42:53Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:42:57We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:43:00I can't do anything at this time.
00:43:03Joshua is out of commission.
00:43:05It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:43:07Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:43:11Alex is the only choice.
00:43:13And what if I told you...
00:43:14There's another choice.
00:43:16I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:43:27I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:43:33Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:43:39If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:43:42And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:43:45Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:43:49I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:43:52They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:43:55I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:44:00What if he doesn't?
00:44:02He will.
00:44:04I admire your tenacity.
00:44:06I'll do what I can.
00:44:08Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:44:09I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:44:30You did the same for me.
00:44:35And we'll let you down.
00:44:36Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:44:49Mia Gerber?
00:44:51She's from a different company.
00:44:53How is she even qualified?
00:44:54Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:44:57She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:44:59Combining the strengths of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:45:05This is absurd.
00:45:07Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:45:11While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:45:17And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:45:22I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:45:27I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:45:29Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:45:33But Dad, stop, Alex.
00:45:41Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:45:42Let's go.
00:45:49Ain't gonna take over, no consequences, Mia?
00:45:52I'm gonna make her pay.
00:45:55Won't be touching her.
00:45:57Who the fuck are you?
00:46:04Damn it, she's gone.
00:46:05Take care of me.
00:46:06See the security camera?
00:46:16I'm gonna get the footage.
00:46:17And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:46:21You'll never become a CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:23Ever.
00:46:24God damn it!
00:46:35Thanks.
00:46:36Noah, what happened?
00:46:45Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:46:47You're not fine.
00:46:49You're bleeding.
00:46:52Are you okay?
00:46:57Thanks.
00:46:58But the reason I came over was because I wanted to finish our conversation with him before.
00:47:03Mrs. Lane.
00:47:04It's Mr. Lane.
00:47:05He's waking up from the coma.
00:47:09I have to go to the hospital.
00:47:11I just want to tell you something important.
00:47:13No, no.
00:47:13Nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:47:14No.
00:47:14No.
00:47:15No.
00:47:15No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:16No.
00:47:17No.
00:47:17No.
00:47:18No.
00:47:18tacklin.
00:47:18No.
00:47:27You're alive.
00:47:28No.
00:47:28be together. Mia doesn't deserve you. But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:47:41Mia.
00:47:43Joshua, you're awake.
00:47:46Mia.
00:47:49Excuse me, miss.
00:47:52Mr. Lane?
00:47:55Mr. Lane?
00:47:56Mia.
00:47:58Can you hear me, sir?
00:47:59Mia.
00:48:00Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:48:02Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me. Do you remember what day it is?
00:48:07Mia.
00:48:08Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:48:15Joshua.
00:48:17I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:48:18No, Mia.
00:48:20Don't blame yourself.
00:48:22It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:48:24You got hurt because of me.
00:48:26Mia.
00:48:27Listen to me.
00:48:31I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you.
00:48:35For not being honest about my feelings.
00:48:38I was afraid to admit it.
00:48:41Even to myself.
00:48:43I can't hide it anymore.
00:48:45I love you, Mia.
00:48:47I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:48:52You should've said them sooner.
00:48:55I love you too, Joshua.
00:48:56What are you, Joshua?
00:49:07No!

00:52:24no he's not fully recovered yet
00:52:29what are you trying to do teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman
00:52:35you can't do this Lane I can sue you and you'll end up in jail
00:52:46this is you mr. Katz doing something quite illegal I must say your taste is really reprehensible
00:52:54you can't sue me it was a long time ago
00:52:59if I could still release the video you'll lose everything
00:53:02in fact just
00:53:04the victim's identity was protected and they'll be set for the rest of their life
00:53:10you
00:53:12you so much as speak a word about me or me
00:53:15I'll make sure you wish you were born
00:53:18where were you I was worried sick
00:53:24I had to take care of something
00:53:25about cats
00:53:27I told you I handled it
00:53:29I can take care of myself
00:53:31I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you
00:53:33still it's so reckless
00:53:35it's okay now
00:53:39you handled it
00:53:41did
00:53:42I'm flattered by the jealousy
00:53:46I really do love you Joshua
00:53:50I love you too Nia
00:53:54I have a surprise for you
00:53:56I made something for you
00:54:06what's this?
00:54:08it's your mom's recipe
00:54:10I found it in a cookbook in the library
00:54:15I can't believe you made this
00:54:18I thought it might bring you some comfort
00:54:21this
00:54:26this is exactly how she used to make it
00:54:32how'd you get it so right?
00:54:35I may have had some help from the internet
00:54:37and about
00:54:3850
00:54:39practice runs
00:54:44you're just the best
00:54:48we have a plan that could shift the balance of power
00:54:51in our favor
00:54:53our plan
00:54:54our plan
00:54:55didn't overthrow
00:54:56Mia Gerber
00:54:57and the Gerber Corporation
00:54:58but this time
00:54:59we will
00:55:00I just
00:55:02I don't want Mia to lose everything
00:55:03I promise you
00:55:05she won't
00:55:06with the Gerber family's fortune
00:55:08Mia's set for life
00:55:09she just
00:55:10won't be the CEO anymore
00:55:12think about this
00:55:14with the Gerber family out of practice
00:55:16Lane Holdings
00:55:17they will partner with them
00:55:19Joshua and Lane will probably divorce Mia
00:55:22because
00:55:23she's no use to him
00:55:24Mia could finally be yours
00:55:26here's the plan
00:55:28we target Gerber Corporation's medical device supplier network
00:55:32disrupting it will cause significant issues
00:55:34in the hospital and psychiatric care units
00:55:37and we proceed
00:55:40Melody Healthcare
00:55:42has insiders inside their supply chain
00:55:44will start by creating delays
00:55:46and quality issues
00:55:48the fallout will be immediate and devastating
00:55:50the resources stretch so thin
00:55:53they won't even see us coming
00:55:56why are there so many cancelled contracts with Gerber Corporation
00:56:09hey
00:56:11you haven't noticed any suppliers backing out of deals with Gerber Corporation
00:56:17there are rumors someone's been persuading them to cut ties with the Gerbers
00:56:26what do you mean they've stopped supplying to us
00:56:50Noah
00:56:51the suppliers are backing out for no reason
00:56:53it's competitive market Mia
00:56:55yeah but this feels coordinated
00:56:57isn't that unusual
00:56:58yeah it is Tom
00:57:00I'm gonna look into it
00:57:02hey are you okay?
00:57:04yeah I'm fine
00:57:05just busy
00:57:06don't worry about me
00:57:07okay
00:57:16you look like you've been through a war zone
00:57:18what happened?
00:57:19it's the supplier crisis
00:57:21the situation's worse than I thought
00:57:24I don't know what to do Joshua
00:57:29we'll get through this together
00:57:34together
00:57:44thank you all for coming
00:57:45we understand your concerns
00:57:48and we're prepared to increase profits
00:57:50to maintain our partnerships
00:57:51now the offer looks good
00:58:04but we heard some rumors of internal issues within the corporation company
00:58:09involving a higher level
00:58:11let me assure you Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever
00:58:15these rumors are unfounded
00:58:17you're right there are gaps in Noah's whereabouts
00:58:30keep digging Ethan
00:58:32we need concrete evidence
00:58:38Mia Noah might be involved with the issues at the company
00:58:41there's no way he's very loyal to the company
00:58:45although he has been acting weird lately
00:58:47have you ever considered he might have feelings for you?
00:58:50I mean feelings make us do things
00:58:53no
00:58:55Noah's a brother to me
00:58:56he's never even said anything remotely romantic
00:58:59actions speak louder than words
00:59:02I mean sure he's supportive and caring
00:59:05but that's just Noah being Noah
00:59:07I really don't think there's anything more to it
00:59:09sometimes the people closest to us
00:59:14surprise us the most
00:59:19hey just wanted to check in
00:59:21we haven't had any time to talk lately
00:59:23I've been good
00:59:24I've just been busy dealing with the supplier crisis
00:59:26I know
00:59:27and I'm really grateful for you
00:59:29you've done so much
00:59:30I never wanted you to be burdened
00:59:32I care too much about you
00:59:34hey
00:59:39uh
00:59:40I have a question
00:59:43you don't
00:59:44secretly have
00:59:47feelings
00:59:48for me
00:59:50do you?
00:59:53what if I do?
00:59:55oh
00:59:58really?
01:00:00I've put this off for too long
01:00:02and I need to tell you now
01:00:06I've loved you since the first time I met you
01:00:11I still remember that day like it was yesterday
01:00:14we were just starting college
01:00:15and
01:00:16came to visit the office during summer break
01:00:19wore a blue dress
01:00:20and looked like a princess
01:00:22I was just starting off at the company
01:00:25I come from a humble background
01:00:27so
01:00:28I never thought I could be with someone like you
01:00:30but not anymore
01:00:34and now I'm stronger
01:00:36and more capable
01:00:38and I know we should be together here
01:00:42Noah
01:00:47I've really only ever seen you as a friend
01:00:49it's because Joshua's done things for you
01:00:56I've done more
01:00:57no
01:00:59I love him
01:01:00okay we understand each other
01:01:02because you're both born with silver spoons in your mouth and I wasn't
01:01:06you know it's not that
01:01:08I just I have a really strong feeling about him
01:01:11I'm
01:01:14just not for me
01:01:17Noah I'm sorry
01:01:20I didn't mean to lead you on
01:01:22it wasn't my intention to hurt you
01:01:27it's okay
01:01:30I understand
01:01:33I just needed to hear it from you
01:01:35yep
01:01:40Dwayne
01:01:42double down on the plan
01:01:44there's no going back now
01:01:51Noah
01:01:53what brings you here?
01:01:56I think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with Gerber
01:02:00I'm not sure what you're implying
01:02:02it's simple
01:02:03Harper Medical Devices is the biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation
01:02:07if you cut ties with Gerber
01:02:09it'll deal a critical blow to them
01:02:12so
01:02:14you're the one behind the scheme
01:02:18why would I go along with it?
01:02:20the question is why wouldn't you?
01:02:23you and I are alike Susie
01:02:25I always love people who don't love us back
01:02:27I've already let it go
01:02:30I let it go when we still have a chance
01:02:32if me and the Gerber family are out of the company
01:02:35the Lean family will end the business alliance
01:02:38Joshua and Mia will get divorced
01:02:41and you and I can finally be with them
01:02:47join me
01:02:49and together we can make sure we aren't ignored anymore
01:02:51so Mia
01:02:56we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:02:59trust me we have the situation under control
01:03:02that's not what I heard
01:03:04the rumor is Harper Medical Devices pulling out
01:03:06how do you explain this?
01:03:09I assure you we're addressing the concerns
01:03:11but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:03:14as one of the largest shareholders
01:03:16I have complete faith in Mia's leadership
01:03:18these rumors are just that
01:03:21rumors
01:03:27the rumor was right
01:03:29Harper Medical Devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:03:33but there's still hope
01:03:35I've convinced Harper to continue their partnership with us
01:03:38but only if I become the new CEO
01:03:42it's time for a change in leadership
01:03:44someone who could steer this company in the right direction
01:03:48so I've brought Susie Harper with me
01:03:50the acting CEO of Harper Medical Devices
01:03:55Susie will tell you all that
01:03:57she would like Mia Gerber to resign
01:04:01actually I think there's been a misunderstanding
01:04:04Harper Medical Devices never intended to terminate our contracts with Gerber Corporation
01:04:09any rumor suggesting otherwise
01:04:12is false
01:04:14furthermore
01:04:16I believe in Mia's leadership
01:04:18and the direction that she's taking this company
01:04:21thank you Susie
01:04:23I owe you a big one
01:04:25you don't owe me anything
01:04:27I just want Joshua the person he loves to be happy
01:04:32promise me
01:04:34never hurt him
01:04:35and I have evidence that Noah Bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:04:45to sabotage the company
01:04:48Mr. Bolani
01:04:50your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it
01:04:54you're therefore terminated
01:04:56immediately
01:04:57it's quite the view
01:05:21it's quite the view
01:05:22I thought a lot about what happened
01:05:29and I wanted to say sorry
01:05:32I should have been clearer
01:05:35I didn't mean to lead you on
01:05:37I was lost Mia
01:05:40my actions
01:05:42my obsession
01:05:44I'm sorry for everything
01:05:46I'm sorry for everything
01:05:50we both made mistakes
01:05:52we're just glad we can put it all behind us
01:05:55you were a good friend Noah
01:05:59you were more than a friend than me Mia
01:06:02I've learned to let go
01:06:05I just want you to be happy
01:06:09I am
01:06:12I hope you find your happiness too
01:06:17take care Noah
01:06:21me too
01:06:24me too
01:06:41we are gathered here today to witness the reaffirmation of vows between Mia and Joshua Lane
01:06:48Joshua our marriage was out of necessity
01:06:54but you've become my partner
01:06:56my rock
01:06:57my
