Short filmTranscript
00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively, we're about to hit the limit down.
00:11What the hell is going on here?
00:13Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:16Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do?
00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds, they're shorting us simultaneously,
00:27there is nothing we can do!
00:29Sir, what are our next steps?
00:35Well, looks like Shepard's youth might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:45Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:47Excuse me ma'am, could you hold on a cleaning for just a couple minutes?
00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive!
00:58But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
01:06Do I know you?
01:08Wait, what are you doing?
01:10What are you doing?
01:12You can't do this, you're just a cleaner.
01:14You can't be messing with our company funds.
01:16This is incredible!
01:18What's going on?
01:20This running is him!
01:22It's failing!
01:23The price is holding!
01:26Oz, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
01:33We met before.
01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
01:37Hold on.
01:38Tell me.
01:39How could I ever repay you for this?
01:41If the opportunity ever arises, you could...
01:46give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
01:55Jason?
01:57Can we have five now?
01:59Mr. Yates?
02:00What, only two bodyguards this time?
02:13You're not going soft on me, are you?
02:15No, ma'am.
02:16I just thought you might like discreet today.
02:18Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
02:24Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
02:28Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
02:34Look, today is Ben's birthday.
02:37Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
02:40Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
02:44Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
02:49Ma'am, at least do me a favour and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
03:05Divorce papers. Sign it.
03:07Why?
03:15You are not worthy of my son anymore.
03:18The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now, especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
03:24The Shepherd Group.
03:26And you, you're just a cleaner.
03:29The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
03:33I need a wife who reflects my status.
03:35I secured that $100 million contract.
03:38You?
03:39A cleaning woman?
03:42Handing out million dollar deals?
03:44Don't make me laugh.
03:46I did!
03:49It was my present to Ben for his birthday!
03:52I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
03:55What are you doing here?
03:57Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
04:01Amber's family is practically local royalty.
04:05Local royalty.
04:07A small town rich person is royalty.
04:10And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
04:13Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it?
04:18Ben?
04:21What's going on?
04:22Is this why you want a divorce?
04:24Because of her?
04:25Oh, please.
04:26I've spent years building Harrison Group.
04:29You're still a cleaner.
04:31You just grew apart, that's all.
04:33Growing apart?
04:35No.
04:36No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
04:41I won't sign anything.
04:45Huh.
04:46Money is a motivator, isn't it?
04:49Ben.
04:51Alright.
04:52Here.
04:53A hundred thousand dollars.
04:54Open up a small shop or something like that.
04:57A hundred thousand dollars?
04:59I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
05:04Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
05:07Don't be ridiculous.
05:09You've never done anything for Ben's success.
05:12This is our act of charity to all.
05:14Here.
05:15A million dollars.
05:16Take this.
05:17You just want more money, don't you?
05:19Just leave and never see Ben again.
05:23I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
05:29Since none of you respect me.
05:33A cleaning lady threatening us.
05:36I'm so scared.
05:38Just leave.
05:39You already make this house stink.
05:44Make up.
05:45She's gone.
05:46Go to written store.
05:47Sir?
05:48Laura Lewis' information.
05:49She's Ben Harrison's wife.
05:50No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
05:51Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
05:53Divorced her?
05:54Wait a minute.
05:55Don't you remember?
05:56Don't you remember?
05:57Don't you remember?
05:58She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
06:03Yeah.
06:04She saved our hiding there.
06:05Remember?
06:06Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
06:10I don't know.
06:11I don't know.
06:12Let's get to the bottom of this.
06:13Hey!
06:14What are you doing?
06:15Let go of me!
06:16You attacked Amber!
06:17Apologize this instant!
06:18Stealing from the Harrisons.
06:20We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
06:21I don't know.
06:22I don't know.
06:23I don't know.
06:24Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
06:27I don't know.
06:28I don't know.
06:29I don't know.
06:30I don't know.
06:31I don't know.
06:32I don't know.
06:33I don't know.
06:34I don't know.
06:35I don't know.
06:36What are you doing? Let go of me!
06:38You attacked Amber! Apologize this instant!
06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
06:45We gave you a generous divorce settlement,
06:47you refused it, and now you're stealing!
06:50She couldn't afford it. You're a thief!
06:59That's mine! Give it back!
07:01That's enough!
07:03Laura?
07:05I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
07:08It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard,
07:11but I'm just going through a divorce.
07:14You see, it's...
07:16Who are you, Laura's new squeeze?
07:18Excuse me, do you know who I am?
07:21Is this true? You hooked up with this man
07:23while you were married to my son? Shame on you!
07:26Mr. Shepard, I...
07:27For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
07:30I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
07:32Oh, please. A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
07:37You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
07:39That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
07:45That's ridiculous! He doesn't look like that. My ring.
07:49Jason, give it back to Ms. Lewis.
07:51Hey, what are you doing?
07:53Laura, let's get you out of here. Now.
07:58Hold on a minute, Laura. Who the heck is this man? Have you been sneaking around?
08:03It's a lie, ma'am. This is none of your business.
08:06All rabbed dead bodies. You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
08:11We are the Harrisons. You can't just waltz in here and take her.
08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody. Now go back.
08:18What? Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
08:21That's a lie!
08:22Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura! You come back here and explain yourself!
08:26Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura!
08:29Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
08:35Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
08:40I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
08:43After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
08:47No! Um, no. The event will proceed. Besides, I'll be there.
08:58There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura. Who are you, truly?
09:03You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?
09:10Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners.
09:19And we're going to have a meeting. An investment meeting. One week from today.
09:25Make sure everyone is there.
09:29Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis. I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
09:40Ben, Harrison, you're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
09:53After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
09:58Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
10:01Laura, what are you doing here?
10:04Security! Get that woman out of here! We don't need cleaners at this event!
10:09Why wouldn't I be here? This is a business event, after all.
10:13Business? You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
10:17A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey. Just get out!
10:21Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
10:24You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
10:26Oh, Ben. Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
10:31Lord, this is really important for me. Do not ruin this, okay?
10:35You don't belong here. Just get out!
10:39Oh.
10:44That's what you get.
10:50This contract is mine. To give or take away as I see fit.
10:56Don't be ridiculous! This is insane! Who do you think you are?
11:00Yeah, put that down. You have no idea what you're doing.
11:03Security! She's lost a mind! This is a disaster!
11:07Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't deserve it...
11:15You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laurel.
11:19Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
11:23You really think ripping up that contract is gonna help? You're so silly, Laurel.
11:28Oh, please, honey. You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
11:32Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
11:35Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
11:37I was the one that started this deal with the Shepard's.
11:43And after careful consideration,
11:45I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of this deal.
11:48If this is the first one, you do not want to steal the deal...
11:53the one that started this deal with the Shepherds. And after careful consideration, I don't think
12:00the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds. You really think that the Shepherd
12:05group and I could be torn up by something that you've done? You have no authority here.
12:10Of course she has the authority.
12:18That's the man that Laura went with the other day. What is he doing here?
12:22Mr. Shepard? How does he know her?
12:24Is that really Brian Shepard?
12:26Laura, are you alright?
12:30Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman. There must be some sort of
12:34misunderstanding. There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison. This contract with Shepard
12:39group is officially terminated. Effective immediately. Wait a minute. This contract,
12:47I thought you said you got it. It's her. She ruined the contract.
12:51You are his mistress, aren't you? An affair? She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
12:59Mom, please, it's okay. This man is-
13:01Don't touch me! That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
13:05has an affair, and you just stand there? You're a disgrace.
13:09An adulterer. You deserve to be ar- Shut up!
13:11Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess, but I can assure you this woman has tricked you.
13:19Tricked? Why don't you answer a question yourself then? What was my name before we got married?
13:29Laura Lewis, right? Lewis Group? The Financial Giants?
13:34There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
13:38That's crazy. There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name. That's absurd.
13:45It's- It's- It's absurd! A high society heiress wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood!
13:52Yeah. Yeah, it's a lie. It's a lie. This woman was a waitress when I met her. In fact,
13:57I saved her from a robbery three years ago. She's nothing special. She only married me out of gratitude.
14:04I was just a waitress. How convenient for your story, Ben.
14:09First time I met her, she was indeed a waitress at the diner.
14:13Okay, listen up, everybody. When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
14:17Mm-hmm. Now look at me. I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
14:21And look at her. Still just a clear.
14:23Mr. Shepherd, that woman is my son's ex-wife. She's doing all this out of spite.
14:30She's lying, Mr. Shepherd. She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
14:37Let's make something clear. I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
14:44I used my resources to help my ex-husband, but all he saw me as was the maid.
14:50Don't lie. You were never good enough for Ben when you married him. Oops.
14:55That roof was built with lies. Kathy, you never respected me. And Ben?
15:02Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
15:05And the cheating. I think you're blaming the wrong person.
15:11You were not good enough for Ben then, and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
15:14Well, if you'd prefer to believe a liar's story, then the truth, Kathy.
15:22Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons. From everything.
15:28Hello.
15:31Wait, wait, wait, wait. Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
15:34And then just walk out like nothing happened?
15:36I don't think so. You're a cleaner. You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
15:40Nobody cares about you.
15:42You're cleaning toilets or not. At least I have my self-respect.
15:47I don't need a fancy title or a rich husband to feel important.
15:55No, I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. I think all jobs are important. Right, Mom?
16:00Ben, what are you doing?
16:01But I don't think that a janitor should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
16:07A janitor. Well, why don't we ask Ms. Smith exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
16:18You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal, weren't you, Ms. Smith?
16:23Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie. This woman, Laura, she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
16:29I... but, well...
16:32A lie, you're saying. Ms. Smith, I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group,
16:38but I don't recognize you.
16:39Is this true, Ms. Smith?
16:44Ms. Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
16:47This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
16:50But the contract... I mean, Laura tore it up.
16:54So can't we just print another one and get this signing ceremony underway?
16:59Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
17:01Perhaps you haven't been paying attention without Ms. Lewis involved.
17:06I wouldn't even consider partnering with your company.
17:12Today, I want to make it clear.
17:15Shepard Group has no plans to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
17:19Ms. Smith, you lied to us. You destroyed everything.
17:26What? No, it's a misunderstanding. I can explain.
17:30Lewis? Lewis Family Group? This can't be.
17:34Believe what you want, Beth.
17:36Lewis Group will be holding a massive investment meeting later this week.
17:41Three of our vice presidents will be here in Maplewood.
17:46And I'm sure you can ask them if you still have any doubts about who I am.
17:54Everyone, listen to me.
17:56Shepard Group will not be partnering with Harrison.
18:01A man who can't keep his vows to his wife cannot be trusted to keep his word on a contract.
18:07The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
18:10Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
18:14Ms. Lewis?
18:16Shall we take this conversation now, Shepard?
18:24Help!
18:26Mom!
18:26Someone get a doctor!
18:27Mom!
18:28It seems your night has taken quite the turn, Mr. Shepard.
18:34Indeed.
18:35Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
18:38What?
18:50What now?
18:51Mom, this is not all on me.
18:53Not on you!
18:55I was trying to help.
18:57She cheated on you with Shepard.
18:59Flaunted their affair.
19:00Exactly.
19:02And those dresses?
19:04Who could afford those on a janitor's salary?
19:06Ms. Smith, how could you do this?
19:09We trusted you completely.
19:10No, no.
19:12I got Ben the deal.
19:14I had no idea Shepard would fall for Laura.
19:18She's a liar.
19:19Oh, stop it, Amber.
19:20You lied to us just as much as she did.
19:23Lied?
19:25You're on my side.
19:27And anyways, I have a plan.
19:29The Shepards are no one special.
19:31We can expose Laura and all her lies.
19:34Go national.
19:35We can make ourselves a household name.
19:39Now, if you'll excuse me,
19:41I have a very important phone call to make.
19:47Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. Shepard.
19:50Thank you as well for standing up for me.
19:53It's all right, Laura.
19:54You deserve the credit for all your hard work.
19:56Can I ask you something?
19:58Do you have any place to stay tonight?
20:00Maybe a hotel?
20:01Don't...
20:01Don't worry about me, Mr. Shepard.
20:03I'll be fine.
20:06Excuse me, you can just drop me off.
20:07Actually, Laura, actually, Laura, there is something else.
20:12Would you consider to go out for dinner sometime?
20:14Just casually, of course.
20:16Mr. Shepard, are you asking me out?
20:20Please, call me Brian.
20:23And yes, technically, you're single now.
20:28Yes, that may be true, but going out with a newly divorced ex-cleaner isn't exactly proper.
20:39Proper?
20:40Laura, I don't give a damn about appearances.
20:44Tonight, I saw your intelligence and your strength.
20:49Those are qualities I truly admire.
20:52So what do you say?
20:54Dinner?
20:56Just two people getting to know each other?
20:58I'm sorry, Mr. Shepard.
21:03I actually have another appointment tonight.
21:06So I can't get down.
21:07Wait, Laura.
21:08Just here is fine.
21:12Laura?
21:18Laura, who is it?
21:19Laura, wait!
21:20Jason, find out who owns that car.
21:25And do it fast.
21:26Iain Lewis, who is this?
21:35It's Amber Smith.
21:37Mr. Lewis?
21:38I'm sorry for the late call, but I believe I have some urgent information about your family.
21:43I don't know who you are, Ms. Smith. How did you get this number?
21:48Don't worry about that right now. I believe I know someone impersonating Laura Lewis.
21:54Someone I know very well.
21:55Impersonating my niece? And where is this fake Laura?
22:02Right here in Maplewood. And let me tell you, she's causing quite a scene.
22:08Well, what is she doing exactly? And more to the point, what do you want from me?
22:16In the next few days, the Lewis Group will hold an investment meeting, right?
22:22I want to meet with the Vice Presidents. All will be revealed then.
22:26Very well. I'll have my secretary arrange a meeting. But be warned, if this is a waste of my time, I-
22:33It won't be. Trust me, Mr. Lewis.
22:35That little rascal, Laura. I wonder what she's up to now.
22:52That car belongs to Mr. Yeats, the Lewis family butler.
22:56Oh, Lewis family? That's interesting. Could she be connected to them somehow?
23:04I'm not sure.
23:08Brian! There you are. I've missed you.
23:11Chloe.
23:14What are you up to?
23:15Chloe, what are you doing here?
23:17What do you mean? Can't I visit the man I love?
23:20We ended things for a reason.
23:23It was just one teensy mistake. I was a little bit tipsy.
23:28Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?
23:30Teensy mistake you said? You cheated on me.
23:34Is this your new fling?
23:39Ex-divorcey.
23:42Used to clean floors. Quite the catch, aren't you saying?
23:45Look, my relationship with her is none of your business.
23:49And don't you dare talk about her like that.
23:52Please.
23:53An ex-cleaner turned social climber latching onto a wealthy businessman.
23:58It's a classic story.
23:59That's enough.
24:01I'll get the hell out of my office.
24:03You want to be careful, Brian.
24:05Duke Industries still holds a lot of weight in Maplewood.
24:09If you want Shepherd Group to stay afloat,
24:11you ought to be more careful.
24:16Seems like you've got more on your plate than Laura's secrets now.
24:23This is it.
24:25The Lewis Group Vice Presidents are on the top floor.
24:28Once I'm done speaking with them, I'll have Ben's company rolling in business investments.
24:34I'll go speak with them first and then I'll introduce you.
24:38Well, well, well.
24:39Look who it is.
24:41What a surprise.
24:42Did Brian teach you already?
24:44That's none of your business.
24:47Now move aside, please.
24:49Laura, just what do you think you're doing, you street rat?
24:53You really think you can just ruin my events again?
24:54Haven't you ruined my life enough?
24:56Don't you have any shame?
24:57If you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting to get to.
25:01Oh, the nerve.
25:02After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz in here and manipulate them too?
25:07Seriously?
25:09I think you need to reconsider exactly who's manipulating who here.
25:13Oh, that's gold.
25:15You really think that they're going to let you in, Laura?
25:17Please, you're no one compared to me.
25:19You don't deserve to be here.
25:21The only ones who don't belong here are you three.
25:27And you, idiot.
25:28Believing every lie that she tells you.
25:30Wake up, Ben.
25:32Oh, Laura!
25:34Laura, come on, why do you always pull this on me?
25:36I mean, seriously, can't you just let me enjoy one of my events for once?
25:40I know what this is.
25:43So stupid.
25:44Oh, shut your trap.
25:47Amber spoke directly with the CEO.
25:49He invited her to meet with the VPs before the main meeting.
25:51Yeah, Amber got me a partnership with the Loom School.
25:55And unlike some people, I have a real invitation.
25:59Well, before you all start celebrating, why don't you take a look at this?
