00:03:45Ruffles
00:03:46that's what I heard
00:03:48and I think it'll be good to a company
00:03:50I don't think it'll be good for a CEO
00:03:52Joshua
00:04:00I was hoping
00:04:14Not interested. Get lost.
00:04:20Man, you are brutal. That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:25Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber. Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:29This marriage is what my parents want. Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:32Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation. There must be some perks to her.
00:04:36Perks are not. She'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:40Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:42Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:44Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully-witted wife?
00:05:00I do.
00:05:02And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully-witted husband?
00:05:08I do.
00:05:10Well, the rings.
00:05:11We may now kiss the bride.
00:05:21Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:35This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:39Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:42Understood.
00:05:43And vice versa.
00:05:44My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:06:02My assistant will set it up.
00:06:03She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:06:05Done.
00:06:06Joshua Lane has always been so distant with people.
00:06:31Well, unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:37You should sit out of the room and I can't stop chasing.
00:06:40Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:46But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:52We need an heir after all.
00:06:54Eleanor?
00:06:54Oh, that's enough.
00:06:56I'm just saying.
00:06:59Perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Horowitz.
00:07:03Quite the contrary.
00:07:04Actually, Joshua's very passionate.
00:07:08Especially in the bedroom.
00:07:09No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:07:13For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:26But still, thank you for setting up.
00:07:31I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:33Get the campaign ready.
00:07:42I want that check out.
00:07:43Asa.
00:07:48No, hey.
00:07:50I need a favor.
00:07:55You're right.
00:07:56Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a spear campaign against Joshua.
00:08:00Gluton and PR are already involved.
00:08:01What agency are we using?
00:08:05We're so excited.
00:08:06Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:08:09Perfect.
00:08:11I have a plan.
00:08:15I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:08:18It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:08:21That's an enticing offer, Ms. Gerber.
00:08:24What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:26I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:29I don't mind.
00:08:31I'll cover the cancellation for you.
00:08:38You have a deal.
00:08:40The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass on.
00:08:44There's a little more.
00:08:46I need you to spread the word.
00:08:47Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:55You got it.
00:08:56No one in this industry will be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:02Wonderful.
00:09:03Thanks.
00:09:04Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:09:05I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:09:15But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:19I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:09:22I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:09:25How do you know about this?
00:09:27Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:09:28A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders' opinion.
00:09:31And Eleanor's background in PR made this move predictable.
00:09:36I'm more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:39Why are you helping me?
00:09:43Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:45Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:48It's all business.
00:09:52Business.
00:09:53Right.
00:09:54Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Catherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:57How did you know about that?
00:10:02Didn't expect me to enter into marriage without doing background checks.
00:10:06I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:10:09I mean, he cheated on you.
00:10:11So what?
00:10:14She must be faking it to trap you.
00:10:17How dare you?
00:10:21You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:25I can take care of myself.
00:10:26What she's helping.
00:10:34To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:39And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:42Absolutely.
00:10:43You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:50Imagine if I'd stay with me.
00:10:52Poor and powerless.
00:10:53That's all she ever was.
00:10:54She's a joke.
00:10:56A stepping stone at best.
00:10:58You're by my side.
00:10:59We are unstoppable.
00:11:12Havens Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:15Bradley has the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:11:18Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:20No.
00:11:21As for your request.
00:11:22Perfect.
00:11:23Keep at it.
00:11:29Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:30There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:44These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:47Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:49I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:12:00Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:12:02Mia helped me.
00:12:03But unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return her faith.
00:12:08Take care for her.
00:12:11Don't dislike her.
00:12:12Help me to deserve someone who truly loves her.
00:12:17Not you.
00:12:18She's a grown woman.
00:12:20She knows what she wants.
00:12:21Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves.
00:12:23Especially not you.
00:12:24You can choose not to share the information.
00:12:35But you won't be helping her.
00:12:38Your choice.
00:12:42Alright, look.
00:12:44If you have to know,
00:12:46unfortunately,
00:12:49Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:50because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:54I'm sorry for overstepping
00:13:22and being insensitive.
00:13:24I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:26I had no idea.
00:13:28You didn't know?
00:13:29That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:32I apologize.
00:13:34I may have ever reacted.
00:13:36You were hurting.
00:13:37That's understandable.
00:13:39Of course I'm not.
00:13:40Who says that?
00:13:41Everyone.
00:13:42Your family, your friends,
00:13:44your co-workers,
00:13:46enemies.
00:13:47I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:50I think you should talk like this.
00:13:54It suits you.
00:13:57It's not funny.
00:14:01Sleep.
00:14:04Corner phone.
00:14:05Okay.
00:14:05Good night.
00:14:07Good night.
00:14:15Talk like this.
00:14:17Talk like this.
00:14:17Go ahead with Plan
00:14:30Shorten stock of Catherine's company
00:14:32I want to see them bleed
00:14:35Mia, you need to see this
00:14:43The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically
00:14:46They're on the verge of bankruptcy
00:14:48Just a week? Who's this possible?
00:14:51Seems like a coordinated attack
00:14:52Someone powerful is behind this
00:14:54Joshua
00:14:58Did you short-tap and stop?
00:15:06Yes, I did
00:15:07Why?
00:15:08Strictly for business
00:15:09To protect our family's alliances
00:15:11Your enemies are my enemies now
00:15:13Thank you, Joshua
00:15:14Statement's necessary
00:15:16Just like you
00:15:17Gotta pay a little visit to Bradley and Cat
00:15:19Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:30They're taking everything
00:15:30I can't believe this is happening
00:15:33As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control
00:15:38Yes, the Gerber Corporation
00:15:40As in my family's company
00:15:42Mia Gerber?
00:15:43I thought you were Mia Whitlock
00:15:44Whitlock was just a name I used
00:15:46To conceal my identity
00:15:48You betrayed and hurt my wife
00:15:50Now you're facing the consequences
00:15:52I've resigned
00:15:53You can't touch me
00:15:54Resignation or not, Bradley
00:15:56Your career is over
00:15:57I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you
00:16:00After what you've done
00:16:01Mia
00:16:02You know that I never meant to hurt you
00:16:06This hospital is all that I have left
00:16:08Please
00:16:08That day that I fell
00:16:12You stood there and watched
00:16:14You made your decision then
00:16:16Mia, can we talk?
00:16:18I know I hurt you deeply
00:16:19I just want to apologize
00:16:20To make things right
00:16:22Mia, I'm truly sorry
00:16:38About the reason
00:16:39I dreamt about you and the baby every day
00:16:42I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this
00:16:45After the accident
00:16:45Because I felt so ashamed of myself
00:16:48Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley
00:16:51I know, I just
00:16:52I need you to know
00:16:54That I will always care about you
00:16:56Deeply
00:16:57You're really like they say
00:17:11Tall
00:17:13Handsome
00:17:14Powerful
00:17:21You know I can make you
00:17:24A very happy man
00:17:27Do not engage with women
00:17:31Have no shame
00:17:32Handsome
00:17:34Catherine manipulated me
00:17:40But now I realize she's nothing compared to you
00:17:43We could start over
00:17:44With your family's resources
00:17:46I could help you grow the business
00:17:47Wait for your parents again
00:17:49I guess it's a chance
00:17:50You know
00:17:51If I wasn't 100% sure before
00:17:54I am now
00:17:55You're a piece of human trash
00:17:58You're right
00:18:00I'm sure
00:18:01But think about all the good memories we have
00:18:03Think about more to come
00:18:04Just let it go
00:18:06Mia
00:18:06Grab it
00:18:07I should have an argument before
00:18:20But I didn't talk to you
00:18:21It's fine
00:18:22Don't you
00:18:22Thank you for stopping it
00:18:25Thank you for
00:18:26Everything
00:18:29Yeah, I followed through with all my business nights
00:18:34Right
00:18:35Yeah
00:18:36The business plan
00:18:37You know you call me your wife
00:18:40For the first time
00:18:41Don't look into it
00:18:43Let's go
00:18:45Actually
00:18:46You know what
00:18:48Now that all the revenge
00:18:49Is done
00:18:50I think I want to take some time alone
00:18:52To
00:18:53Figure out my feelings
00:18:55I understand
00:18:57They've destroyed everything
00:19:04We can't let them get away with this
00:19:07What if we take
00:19:11Mia
00:19:12A ransom would help us
00:19:14But hurt Mia
00:19:15Yes
00:19:17Abducting Mia Gerber
00:19:20I see how Joshua Lane reacts then
00:19:23But how will we get to Mia
00:19:25I know that she always goes to this one spot
00:19:28Alone
00:19:28From what I know about her
00:19:55Hey
00:19:57Hey
00:19:58Hey
00:20:01Help
00:20:02Help
00:20:16Help
00:20:18Help
00:20:20Help
00:20:22Help
00:20:25Thought you could get rid of us Mia
00:20:26You and Joshua
00:20:30Will regret ever crossing us
00:20:33Don't bring an end to this you bitch
00:20:35Get off
00:20:37That's what we're talking about
00:20:52Look at you
00:20:56Just as pathetic as the day you fell
00:20:59Of course I could have saved you
00:21:02But why would I
00:21:03You and your baby
00:21:05Are worth
00:21:06Nothing
00:21:08Joshua Lane
00:21:14Listen
00:21:15We have Mia Gerber
00:21:17We want her back
00:21:19Get ready with a hefty ransom
00:21:20I'll pay the rent
00:21:22But listen to me clearly
00:21:24I will hunt you down
00:21:26And you'll wish you never trust me
00:21:27Based on the footage from Mia's car camera
00:21:37It seems Bradley and Catherine are behind us
00:21:39This one
00:21:42Mia
00:21:53I'll courage her
00:21:58I'll get you out of me
00:21:58Come on
00:22:00Sit you out
00:22:01Okay
00:22:02I'll do
00:22:33It's not worth it.
00:23:03It's just like some day.
00:23:15Make you some soup.
00:23:19It's very unique.
00:23:27What is this?
00:23:29My mom's recipe.
00:23:31Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:34I didn't like comfort you.
00:23:36It must have made it wrong.
00:23:37It's wonderful.
00:23:39I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:42It's not fun.
00:23:44I just did what I had to do.
00:23:48Josh, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:23:53Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:23:57A guest has arrived.
00:23:58Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:00Susie's back.
00:24:08Oh, I've missed you so much.
00:24:11Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:19When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:21Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:25It's been too long.
00:24:26Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:27I came back just for you.
00:24:29Oh, there's so much.
00:24:34Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:24:38Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:41So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:24:44Oh, Susie, that's enough.
00:24:47Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:24:51We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:24:55He means a lot to me.
00:24:56I want him to be happy.
00:24:57I think we all want him.
00:25:00Do you?
00:25:01Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:04He confides in me.
00:25:06I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:08He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:12Right.
00:25:13Well, things like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:16So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:23Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:25I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:30Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:33I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:35I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:38Sorry.
00:25:39I just...
00:25:40I was trying to help, since you clearly don't want the marriage.
00:25:45I don't mind it, though.
00:25:50Do you like her?
00:25:52This means I still have a chance.
00:25:55By your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:00I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:03Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:07Excuse me.
00:26:07How's it going, Dee?
00:26:16It's this marriage.
00:26:18It's Joshua.
00:26:18He's like a shadow.
00:26:19He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:23You deserve someone who will give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:29Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:26:34Thank you, Noah.
00:26:37How could I live without you?
00:26:42I could live without you.
00:26:43I don't think everything to protect you, man.
00:27:13Joshua.
00:27:25We can't be like this forever.
00:27:27We have to talk.
00:27:30Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:27:32Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:27:34I don't even know what that means.
00:27:36There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:27:38You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:27:40What?
00:27:41Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:00What's he doing here?
00:28:03Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:06If you ever hurt her, you just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:21And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:24Since I don't talk with no action.
00:28:26What are you two doing?
00:28:30What's going on, you?
00:28:31Joshua, why are you acting so rash?
00:28:32This is ridiculous.
00:28:33You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:28:36I didn't invite...
00:28:37Joshua!
00:28:38Well, I'm sorry.
00:28:39I didn't mean to cause any grip between you, too.
00:28:41It wasn't my intention.
00:28:43It's fine.
00:28:44Why are you here?
00:28:45I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:28:48I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been inspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:28:54Is that Dwayne?
00:28:55I'm the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:01This plan is a game changer.
00:29:04What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:06They're our biggest threat.
00:29:07They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:09We're way ahead of that.
00:29:11And how do you know, though?
00:29:14The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:16He tried to get some information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:20Like, I've returned my own company, but you're a fool to think that.
00:29:24Right.
00:29:24Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:26Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:35See?
00:29:35He's fine.
00:29:37I don't know.
00:29:38There's something strange about him.
00:29:40I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:29:43Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:29:45I will.
00:29:45I mean, it's suspected, but I mean, it'll trust me now.
00:29:53Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:29:57Excellent.
00:29:58Once we execute the strategy, the Kerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:02Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:06Me and Gerber will be out of the company.
00:30:09And I'll be the number one.
00:30:11Okay.
00:30:15How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:19This was our strategy.
00:30:21Where's Dwayne?
00:30:22He's outside.
00:30:23He's outside.
00:30:36Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:30:40The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:48We kept everything under wraps.
00:30:51They must have developed this independently.
00:30:53Yeah?
00:30:54They're just too young.
00:30:55They're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:30:58This stuff happens.
00:31:00I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:04And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:08You can do it.
00:31:08Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:25It doesn't look good on you.
00:31:28Wow.
00:31:29Thanks for the comfort.
00:31:34Damn it.
00:31:35Why do I have to say that?
00:31:36Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:31:43What?
00:31:50We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:31:54It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:31:59Acquiring Catherine Fimini's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:08Now, Melody's health care is outpacing us.
00:32:11Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:17I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:23That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:32:29My strategies have been more than effective.
00:32:32The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:32:35And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:32:38This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on a job.
00:32:47As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:32:52I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:32:57I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Health Care to undermine the company.
00:33:07What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:10We have communications between Dwayne and Melody Health Care.
00:33:13I think that's our strategy.
00:33:18You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:21I've been with you since you've founded the company.
00:33:23All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:25I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would just do this.
00:33:30Look, your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:33:35We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:33:39Values you clearly lack.
00:33:42Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:33:46Wait.
00:33:47D?
00:33:55Mayor, we're so proud of you.
00:34:00You really handled Chris as well.
00:34:03You truly are a government.
00:34:09Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:11Of course.
00:34:12You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:14You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:18It all started with anonymous tape.
00:34:22Someone delivered photos of Dwayne being with the owner of Melody Health Care, and I intercepted the tape.
00:34:30What's this new schedule for the week?
00:34:32What's this?
00:34:33Um.
00:34:34I'll take that too.
00:34:36Thanks.
00:34:36Anonymous.
00:34:48Who would do that?
00:34:49I don't know.
00:34:51But the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:34:57Can I see the photos?
00:34:58I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:13Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:17Is this you?
00:35:17In the reflection?
00:35:18Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:20Yeah, it's me.
00:35:22Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:24He set his suspicions back to Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:27Well, we then delivered the photos.
00:35:30Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:34Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:35:36No need to.
00:35:40Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:35:44Joshua's a...
00:35:46He's a complicated man.
00:35:48He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:35:51He's never gone through such steps for anyone before me, and this must mean he cares about you.
00:35:57He could just talk to me next time.
00:35:59Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:01He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:05I just ask the...
00:36:06Don't hurt him.
00:36:09No.
00:36:12You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:13Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:24It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Health Care.
00:36:26What about it?
00:36:28I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:30Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:32It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:34Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:36:39Did you do it because...
00:36:40No, no, it's nothing like that.
00:36:42I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:36:46It looked bad for me.
00:36:48So it's all about appearances?
00:36:50Yes, ma'am.
00:36:51It's all it ever is.
00:36:52I agree to a business arrangement.
00:36:55Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:36:57Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:00I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:08I want a divorce.
00:37:13I want a divorce.
00:37:14You sure about this?
00:37:21I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:24I love this.
00:37:26The thought.
00:37:27I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:32I want genuine happiness.
00:37:34I understand.
00:37:36If that's what you want.
00:37:36Joshua, please.
00:37:45I see you with the divorce.
00:37:46I see you with the divorce.
00:37:46, I see you with the divorce.
00:38:12I see you with the divorce.
00:38:12You trust me with the divorce.
00:38:13Instead, I see you with the divorce.
00:38:13I wonder what you can call your divorce.
00:38:13I wonder what that means.
00:38:15See you with the divorce.
00:38:15Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:29Me.
00:38:31Me.
00:38:32Don't leave, don't leave.
00:38:35You're drunk.
00:38:35Please, help me take him to his car.
00:38:39No.
00:38:40I'll take him to my place.
00:38:41He shouldn't be alone.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:45Let's go.
00:39:05Morning, Josh.
00:39:08Here, drink this.
00:39:09You've had quite a night.
00:39:11Excuse me.
00:39:12Where am I?
00:39:16This is my apartment.
00:39:18Nothing bad happened.
00:39:20I also drove your car back here.
00:39:22How did I get here?
00:39:24You were really drunk.
00:39:26I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:28Josh, what happened?
00:39:31It's over between me and me.
00:39:32You were meant to be.
00:39:38You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:39:46Why?
00:39:48I'm getting a divorce.
00:39:49We can finally be together.
00:39:52Susan.
00:39:52You are a dear friend.
00:39:55Like a little sister.
00:39:56It can't be anything more.
00:39:58I'm sorry.
00:40:01Do you really love that mute cover?
00:40:05No.
00:40:08Yes, yes.
00:40:09I'm not fucked, I do.
00:40:11I need to go tell her.

00:43:35after all you're the one who led gerber corporation to the next level
00:43:38who do you think
00:43:39i'm merely stating a fact

00:43:57we cannot allow alex to derail that
00:44:01i can't do anything at this time
00:44:03joshua is out of commission
00:44:05it's best to have someone lead the company

00:44:11alex is the only choice
00:44:14what if i told you

00:44:29i can uphold his legacy
00:44:30and as you mentioned before i'm a very capable ceo in my own right
00:44:34your vote of course is crucial but more than anything

00:55:35we have a plan
00:55:40that can shift the balance of power
00:55:42in our favor
00:55:43our plan

00:55:48and the gerber corporation

00:56:05with the gerber family out of practice
00:56:08lane holdings
00:56:09they won't partner with them
00:56:11joshua lane will
00:56:12probably divorce mea
00:56:13because
00:56:14she has no use to him
00:56:15me could finally be yours
00:56:17here's the plan
00:56:19we target gerber corporation's
00:56:22medical device supplier network
00:56:23this roughly will cause significant issues
00:56:26in the hospital and psychiatric care units
00:56:30we proceed
00:56:32melody healthcare
00:56:33has insiders inside their supply chain
00:56:36will start by creating delays
00:56:38and quality issues
00:56:39the fallout will be immediate and devastating
00:56:42the resources stretch so thin
00:56:46they won't even see us coming

01:03:37double down on the plan
01:03:40there's no going back now
01:03:43noah
01:03:50what brings you here
01:03:53i think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with gerber
01:03:56i'm not sure what you're implying
01:03:58it's simple
01:03:59harbor medical devices is the biggest supplier for gerber corporation
01:04:03if you cut the eyes with gerber
01:04:06it'll deal a critical blow to them
01:04:08so
01:04:10you're the one behind the scheme
01:04:13why would i go along with it
01:04:17the question is why wouldn't you
01:04:19you and i are alike
01:04:21susie
01:04:21it's love people who don't love us back
01:04:24i've already let it go
01:04:26i've already let it go when we still have a chance
01:04:29me and the gerber family are out of the company
01:04:32the lean family won the business alliance
01:04:34joshua and nia will get the force
01:04:37nia and i can finally be with them
01:04:41join
01:04:45together we can make sure we aren't ignoring anyone
01:04:48so mia
01:04:53we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:04:57trust me we have the situation under control
01:04:59that's not what i heard
01:05:00the rumor is how per medical device is pulling out
01:05:03how do you explain this
01:05:06i assure you we're addressing the concerns
01:05:08but
01:05:08our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger
01:05:11as one of the largest shareholders
01:05:13i have complete faith in his leadership
01:05:16these rumors are just that
01:05:18rumors
01:05:19the rumor was right
01:05:26harbor medical devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:05:30but there's still hope
01:05:32i've convinced harper to continue that partnership with us
01:05:35but only if i become the new ceo
01:05:39it's time for a change in leadership
01:05:42someone who could steer this company in the right direction
01:05:45so i brought susie harper with me
01:05:47the acting ceo of harper medical devices
01:05:50susie will tell you all that
01:05:54she would like mia gerber to resign
01:05:56actually i think there's been a misunderstanding
01:06:00harbor medical devices never intended to terminate our contracts with her corporation
01:06:05any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:06:09furthermore
01:06:11i believe in mia's leadership
01:06:14and the direction that she's taking
01:06:16thank you susie
01:06:18i owe you a big one
01:06:20you don't owe me anything
01:06:22i just want joshua the person who loves to be happy
01:06:26and i have evidence that noah bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive
01:06:40duane kaiser to sabotage the company
01:06:42mr bolani
01:06:45your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it
01:06:50you're therefore terminated
01:06:52it's quite the view
01:07:18i thought a lot about what happened
01:07:25and i wanted to say sorry
01:07:28i should have been clearer
01:07:31and i mean to lead you on
01:07:33i was lost
