A Janitor Made $10B In 3 Minutes. The Ceo Fell Hardand Never Let Her Go - Full
Transcript
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 lunchtime.
00:45Hey, this is a private...
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?
01:20The shorting attempt!
01:22It's failing!
01:24The price is holding!
01:26Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value!
01:30Who?
01:33We met before!
01:34They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard, I...
01:37Hold on!
01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
01:51Jason, can we have five now?
02:00Mr. Yates!
02:05What, only two bodyguards this time?
02:09You're not going soft on me, are you?
02:15No, ma'am, I 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. Anything 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.
03:04Divorce papers. Sign it.
03:14Why?
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. And you, you're just a cleaner.
03:29The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time. I need a wife who reflects my status.
03:36I secured that $100 million contract.
03:39You, a cleaning woman, handing out million dollar deals. Don't make me laugh.
03:48I did! It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
03:52I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
03:56What are you doing here?
03:58Clearly Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
04:02Amber's family is practically local royalty.
04:05Local royalty. A 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, Ben?
04:19What's going on? Is this why you want a divorce? Because of her?
04:26Oh, please. I've spent years building Harrison Group. You're still a cleaner. You just grew apart, that's all.
04:33Grown apart? No.
04:37No.
04:38No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
04:43I won't sign anything.
04:46Huh.
04:47Money is a motivator, isn't it?
04:49Ben.
04:51Alright.
04:52Here.
04:53$100,000.
04:54Open up a small shop, or something not safe.
04:57$100,000.
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 towards you.
05:14Here.
05:15A million dollars. Take this.
05:17You just want more money, don't you?
05:19Just leave and never see Ben again.
05:22I 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.
05:48Nick, how she's gone?
05:49Go to a written store.
05:53Sir?
05:55Laura Lewis's information.
06:00She's Ben Harrison's wife.
06:02No wonder why she wanted us to partner with them.
06:04Actually sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
06:08Divorced her?
06:11Wait a minute.
06:12Don't you remember?
06:14She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
06:18Yeah.
06:19She saved our hiding there.
06:21Remember?
06:22Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
06:28I don't know.
06:30Let's get to the bottom of this.
06:34Hey!
06:35What are you doing?
06:36Let go of me!
06:37You attacked Amber!
06:38Apologize this instant!
06:43Stealing from the Harrisons.
06:44We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
06:46You refused it.
06:47And now you're stealing!
06:48She couldn't afford it.
06:50You're a thief!
06:59That's mine! Give it back!
07:00Hey!
07:01Hey!
07:02What?
07:03I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
07:08It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
07:14You see?
07:15It's-
07:16Who are you, Boris New Squeeze?
07:18Excuse me.
07:19Do you know who I am?
07:20Is this true?
07:21You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
07:24Shame on you!
07:25Mr. Shepard, I-
07:26For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
07:30I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
07:32Oh, please.
07:33A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
07:36You 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.
07:46He doesn't look like that.
07:48My ring.
07:49Jason, give it back to Miss Lewis.
07:51Oh, hey!
07:52What are you doing?
07:53Laura, let's get you out of here.
07:58Now.
07:59Hold on a minute, Laura.
08:00Who the heck is this man?
08:01Have you been sneaking around?
08:03It's a lie, ma'am.
08:05This is none of your business.
08:06All rabbed dead bodies.
08:08You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's going on.
08:11We are the Harrisons.
08:13You can't just waltz in here and take her.
08:15Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
08:18Now go back.
08:19What?
08:20Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
08:22That's a lie.
08:23Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
08:25You come back here and explain yourself.
08:27Don'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?
08:36Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
08:41I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
08:44After how they treated you.
08:47Maybe we should cancel it?
08:48No!
08:49Um...
08:50No.
08:51The event will proceed.
08:53Besides, I'll be there.
08:58There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
09:01Who are you, truly?
09:03You'll find out.
09:05Mr. Shepard.
09:07Um, can you pull up over here, please?
09:13Mr. Yates.
09:14I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners and we're gonna have a meeting.
09:21an investment meeting, one week from today.
09:26Make sure everyone is there.
09:30Because after that meeting, I'm gonna reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
09:36Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
09:38I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
09:40Ben Harrison.
09:44You're gonna know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
09:48After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
09:58Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
10:02Laura, what are you doing here?
10:04Security!
10:05Get that woman out of here!
10:07We don't need cleaners at this event!
10:09Why wouldn't I be here?
10:11This is a business event, after all.
10:13Business?
10:14You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
10:17A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
10:20Just 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.
10:27Oh, Ben.
10:28Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
10:32Laura, this is really important for me.
10:34Do not ruin this, okay?
10:35You don't belong here.
10:37Just get out!
10:39Oh.
10:40That's what you get.
10:50This contract is mine.
10:53To give or take away as I see fit.
10:57Don't be ridiculous!
10:58This is insane!
10:59Who do you think you are?
11:00Yeah, put that down.
11:01You have no idea what you're doing.
11:03Security!
11:04She's lost a mind!
11:05This is a disaster!
11:07Ben.
11:08This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you, but since you clearly don't
11:14deserve it...
11:16S-
11:17S-
11:19S-
11:21S-

11:33S-
11:34S-
11:35S-
11:36S-
11:37S-
11:38You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
11:43You're so silly, Laura.
11:45Oh, please, honey.
11:46You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
11:48Security, get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
11:52I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
11:55And after careful consideration,
11:59I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
12:03You really think that the Shepard group and I
12:06could be torn up by something that you've done?
12:08You have no authority here.
12:10Of course she has the authority.
12:18That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
12:21What is he doing here?
12:22Mr. Shepard?
12:23How does he know her?
12:24Is that really Brian Shepard?
12:26Laura, are you all right?
12:30Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,
12:32I don't even know this woman.
12:33There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
12:35There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
12:38This contract with Shepard group
12:40is officially terminated.
12:42Effective immediately.
12:45Wait a minute.
12:46This contract, I thought you said you got it.
12:48It's her.
12:50She ruined the contract.
12:51You are his mistress, aren't you?
12:53An affair?
12:54She had an affair with that man
12:57behind my son's back?
12:59Mom, please, it's okay.
13:00This man is...
13:01Don't touch me!
13:03That woman destroyed your career
13:04in front of everyone,
13:05has an affair,
13:06and you just stand there?
13:08You're a disgrace.
13:09An adulterer.
13:10You deserve to be a...
13:11Shut up!
13:14Mr. Shepard,
13:15I apologize for this whole mess,
13:17but I can assure you,
13:18this woman has tricked you.
13:20Tricked?
13:22Why don't you answer
13:23a question yourself, Ben?
13:25What was my name
13:27before we got married?
13:30Laura Lewis, right?
13:32Lewis group?
13:33The financial giants?
13:35There's no way
13:36a Lewis is connected to this.
13:40That's crazy.
13:41There's no way
13:42you're related to
13:43the Lewis family name.
13:44That's absurd.
13:45It's...
13:46It's...
13:47It's absurd!
13:49A high society heirs
13:50wouldn't waste their time
13:52in Maplewood.
13:53Yeah.
13:53Yeah, it's a lie.
13:54It's a lie.
13:55This woman was a waitress
13:56when I met her.
13:57In fact,
13:57I saved her from a robbery
13:58three years ago.
14:01She's nothing special.
14:02She only married me
14:03out of gratitude.
14:04I was just a waitress.
14:07How convenient
14:08for your story, Ben.
14:09First time I met her,
14:11she was indeed
14:11a waitress at the diner.
14:13Okay, listen up, everybody.
14:14When I met her,
14:15I'd only just started
14:16my business.
14:18Now look at me.
14:19I'm signing
14:19multi-million dollar contracts.
14:21Look at her.
14:23Still just...
14:23clear.
14:24Mr. Shepard,
14:25that woman
14:26is my son's ex-wife.
14:28She's doing all this
14:29out of spite.
14:30She's lying,
14:31Mr. Shepard.
14:32She's just a cleaning lady
14:33for your business,
14:34isn't she?
14:37Let's make something clear.
14:40I was the one
14:41behind Harrison Group's success.
14:44I used my resources
14:46to help my ex-husband,
14:48but all he saw me as
14:49was the maid.
14:50Don't lie.
14:51You were never good enough
14:52for Ben
14:53when you married him.
14:54Oops.
14:55That roof
14:56was built with lies.
14:58Kathy,
14:58you never respected me.
15:00And Ben?
15:02Dumping me
15:03the second you thought
15:03you were successful
15:04on your own.
15:05And the cheating.
15:07I think you're blaming
15:08the wrong person.
15:09You were not good enough
15:12for Ben then
15:13and you're certainly
15:13not good enough
15:14for him now.
15:15If you'd prefer
15:16to believe
15:17a liar's story,
15:19then the truth,
15:21Kathy.
15:22Consider this
15:22my resignation
15:23from the Harrisons.
15:25From
15:25everything.
15:28Hello.
15:31Wait, wait, wait, wait.
15:31Laura,
15:32you think you can just
15:32walk in here
15:33and, you know,
15:33ruin everything
15:34and then just walk out
15:35like nothing happened?
15:36I don't think so.
15:37You're a cleaner.
15:38You're a cleaner
15:39that cleans toilets.
15:41Nobody cares about you.
15:42Cleaning toilets or not,
15:44at least I have
15:44my self-respect.
15:47I don't need
15:48a fancy title
15:49or a rich husband
15:51to feel important.
15:55No, I think
15:56there's been
15:56some sort of
15:57misunderstanding.
15:58I think all
15:58jobs are important.
15:59Right, Mom?
16:00Ben, what are you doing?
16:02But I don't think
16:03that a janitor
16:04should have
16:05some sort of influence
16:06over a deal
16:06as big as this.
16:07A janitor.
16:09Well,
16:10why don't we ask
16:11Miss Smith
16:12exactly how she landed
16:14that collaboration
16:16with Shepard?
16:17You did
16:18claim to have been
16:19the one that secured
16:20the deal,
16:21weren't you, Miss Smith?
16:23Mr. Shepard,
16:24it's all a lie.
16:26This woman,
16:27Laura,
16:27she's just a gold digger
16:28trying to trick you.
16:30I,
16:31but, well...
16:32A lie, you say?
16:34Miss Smith,
16:34I believe you mentioned
16:35securing this contract
16:36for Harrison's room,
16:38but I don't recognize you.
16:40Is this true,
16:41Miss Smith?
16:44Miss Lewis has helped me
16:45on several occasions.
16:47This contract
16:48was my way
16:49of showing my appreciation.
16:51But,
16:52the contract,
16:53I mean,
16:53Laura tore it up.
16:55So,
16:55can't we just
16:56print another one
16:57and get this signing
16:58ceremony underway?
16:59Reprinted,
17:00Mr. Harrison.
17:01Perhaps you haven't
17:02been paying attention
17:03without
17:04Miss Lewis' involvement.
17:06I wouldn't even
17:07consider
17:08partnering with
17:09your company.
17:12Today,
17:13I want to make it clear.
17:16Shepard Group
17:16has no plans
17:17to partner with
17:18Harrison Group
17:19in the future.
17:22Miss Smith,
17:23you lied to us.
17:25You destroyed everything.
17:27What?
17:27No,
17:28it's a misunderstanding.
17:29I can explain.
17:31Lewis?
17:32Lewis Family Group?
17:33This can't be.
17:35Believe what you want,
17:36Beth.
17:37Lewis Group
17:38will be holding
17:39a massive investment
17:40meeting later this week.
17:42Three
17:43of our vice presidents
17:45will be here
17:45in Maplewood.
17:47And I'm sure
17:47you can ask them
17:48if you still have
17:49any doubts
17:50about who
17:50I am.
17:52Everyone,
17:55listen to me.
17:56Shepard Group
17:57will not be partnering
17:58with Harrison.
18:00A man
18:01who can't keep
18:02his vows
18:02to his wife
18:03cannot be trusted
18:04to keep his word
18:05on a contract.
18:07The charade
18:08is over,
18:08Mr. Harrison.
18:10Everyone here
18:10deserves to see
18:11the truth.
18:14Miss Lewis,
18:16shall we take
18:17this conversation
18:17elsewhere?
18:22Someone get a doctor!
18:28Mom!
18:28It seems
18:29your night
18:30has taken
18:31quite the turn,
18:32Mr. Shepard.
18:34Indeed.
18:35Perhaps
18:36it's best
18:37to leave them to it.
18:48What?
18:49What now?
18:51Mom,
18:51this is not
18:52all on me.
18:54Not on you!
18:55I was trying
18:56to help.
18:57She cheated
18:58on you
18:58with Shepard,
18:59flaunted
19:00their affair.
19:01Exactly.
19:02And those dresses?
19:04Who could afford
19:04those on a janitor's
19:06salary?
19:06Miss Smith,
19:07how could you
19:08do this?
19:09We trusted
19:09you completely.
19:11No,
19:12no.
19:13I got Ben
19:13the deal.
19:14I had no idea
19:15Shepard would
19:16fall to Laura.
19:18She's a liar.
19:19Oh,
19:20stop it,
19:20Amber.
19:20You lied
19:21to us
19:21just as much
19:22as she did.
19:23Lied?
19:25You're on my side.
19:27And anyways,
19:28I have a plan.
19:29The Shepards
19:30are no one special.
19:31We can expose
19:32Laura
19:33and all her lies.
19:34Go national.
19:35We can make
19:36ourselves a household name.
19:39Now,
19:39if you'll excuse me,
19:40I have a very important
19:42phone call to me.
19:47Thank you so much
19:49for tonight,
19:50Mr. Shepard.
19:50Thank you as well
19:51for standing up for me.
19:53It's all right,
19:54Laura.
19:54You deserve the credit
19:55for all your hard work.
19:57Can I ask you something?
19:58Do you have any place
19:58to stay tonight?
20:00Maybe a hotel?
20:00Don't worry about me,
20:03Mr. Shepard.
20:03I'll be fine.
20:06Excuse me,
20:06you can just drop me off.
20:07Actually, Laura,
20:08actually,
20:09Laura,
20:10there is something else.
20:12Would you consider
20:12to go out for dinner
20:13sometime?
20:14Just casually,
20:15of course.
20:16Mr. Shepard,
20:17are you asking me out?
20:20Please,
20:21call me Brian.
20:23And yes,
20:25technically,
20:26you're single now.
20:27Yes,
20:29that may be true,
20:30but going out
20:31with a newly divorced
20:33ex-cleaner
20:34isn't exactly
20:35proper.
20:38Proper?
20:40Laura,
20:41I don't give a damn
20:43about appearances.
20:45Tonight,
20:45I saw your intelligence
20:47and your strength.
20:49Those are qualities
20:50I truly admire.
20:52So what do you say?
20:54Dinner?
20:54Just two people
20:57getting to know
20:58each other.
21:02I'm sorry,
21:03Mr. Shepard.
21:04I actually have
21:04another appointment
21:05tonight,
21:06so I...
21:07I can't...
21:07Wait, Laura...
21:08Just here is fine.
21:12Laura?
21:18Laura,
21:18who is it?
21:20Laura, wait!
21:22Jason,
21:22find out
21:24who owns
21:24that car
21:24and do it fast.
21:33Ian Lewis,
21:34who is this?
21:36It's Amber Smith.
21:37Mr. Lewis,
21:38I'm sorry
21:40for the late call,
21:41but I believe
21:41I have some urgent
21:42information
21:42about your family.
21:44I don't know
21:44who you are,
21:45Ms. Smith.
21:46How did you
21:47get this number?
21:48Don't worry
21:49about that right now.
21:50I believe I know
21:51someone impersonating
21:52Laura Lewis.
21:54Someone I know
21:55very well.
21:57Impersonating my niece?
21:59And where is
22:01this fake Laura?
22:02Right here in
22:03Maplewood.
22:04And let me tell you,
22:06she's causing
22:06quite a scene.
22:08Well,
22:09what is she doing
22:10exactly?
22:12And more to the point,
22:14what do you want
22:15from me?
22:16In the next few days,
22:18the Lewis Group
22:19will hold an
22:19investment meeting,
22:20right?
22:22I want to meet
22:22with the vice presidents.
22:24All will be revealed then.
22:26Very well.
22:27I'll have my secretary
22:28arrange a meeting.
22:30But be warned,
22:31if this is a waste
22:32of my time,
22:33I...
22:33It won't be.
22:34Trust me,
22:35Mr. Lewis.
22:36Thank you,
22:37Mr.
22:37That little rascal
22:44Laura.
22:46I wonder what
22:47she's up to now.
22:51That car belongs
22:52to Mr. Yeats,
22:54the Lewis family
22:55butler.
22:56Oh.
22:58Lewis family?
23:00That's interesting.
23:02Could she be
23:03connected to them
23:04somehow?
23:06I'm not sure.
23:08Brian!
23:09There you are.
23:10I've missed you.
23:12Chloe.
23:12What are you up to?
23:15Chloe.
23:16What are you doing here?
23:17What do you mean?
23:19Can't I visit
23:19the man I love?
23:21We ended things
23:22for a reason.
23:23It was just
23:24one teensy mistake.
23:26I was...
23:26I was a little bit tipsy.
23:28Doesn't everyone
23:29deserve a second chance?
23:30Teensy mistake,
23:31you said?
23:32You cheated on me.
23:33I don't know.
23:33I don't know.
23:34I don't know.
23:34I don't know.
23:35I don't know.
23:35I don't know.
23:36I don't know.
23:36I don't know.
23:36I don't know.
23:37I don't know.
23:37I don't know.
23:38I don't know.
23:38I don't know.
23:38Ex-divorcey.
23:42Used to clean floors.
23:43Quite the catch.
23:43Aren't you saying?
23:45Look.
23:46My relationship with her
23:47is none of your business.
23:50And don't you dare
23:51talk about her like that.
23:52Please.
23:54An ex-cleaner
23:55turned social climber
23:56latching onto
23:57a wealthy businessman.
23:59It's a classic story.
23:59That's enough.
24:01I'll get the hell
24:01out of my office.
24:03You want to be careful, Brian.
24:05Duke Industries
24:06still holds a lot of weight
24:07in Maplewood.
24:09If you want
24:09Shepherd Group
24:10to stay afloat,
24:12you ought to be more careful.
24:16Seems like you've got more
24:17on your plate
24:18than Laura's secrets now.
24:25This is it.
24:26The Lewis Group
24:27Vice Presidents
24:27are on the top floor.
24:29Once I'm done
24:29speaking with them,
24:30I'll have Ben's company
24:31rolling in business investments.
24:34I'll go speak with them first
24:35and 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
24:46of your business.
24:48Now move aside, please.
24:49Laura,
24:50just what do you think
24:51you're doing,
24:51you street rat?
24:53You really think
24:53you can just ruin
24:54my events again?
24:54Haven't you ruined
24:55my life enough?
24:56Don't you have any shame?
24:57If you'll excuse me,
24:59I have an important meeting
25:00to get to.
25:01Oh, the nerve.
25:03After everything you've done,
25:04you think you can just
25:05waltz in here
25:05and manipulate them too?
25:07Seriously?
25:09I think you need
25:10to reconsider exactly
25:11who's manipulating who
25:12here.
25:13Oh, that's gold.
25:15You really think
25:16that they're gonna
25:16let you in, Laura?
25:17Please.
25:18You're no one compared to me.
25:20You don't deserve
25:20to be here.
25:22The only ones
25:23who don't belong here
25:24are you three.
25:26And you,
25:28idiot,
25:29believing every lie
25:29that she tells you.
25:30Wake up, Ben.
25:32Oh, Laura.
25:34Laura, come on.
25:35Why do you always
25:35pull this on me?
25:37I mean, seriously,
25:38can't you just let me
25:38enjoy one of my events
25:40for once?
25:40I know what this is.
25:43So stupid.
25:44Oh, shut your trap.
25:47Amber spoke directly
25:48with the CEO.
25:49He invited her
25:50to meet with the VPs
25:51before the main meeting.
25:52Yeah, Amber got me
25:54a partnership
25:54with the Lewis Group.
25:56And unlike some people,
25:57I have a real invitation.
25:59Well,
26:01before you all
26:02start celebrating,
26:04why don't you
26:05take a look
26:05at this?
26:06you,
26:14you,
26:16you,
26:17you,
26:21you,
26:24you.
