00:00:00You're going to be your father.
00:00:30What's she doing here?
00:00:33What do you think?
00:00:34No need to hide anymore.
00:00:36I'm leaving you.
00:00:38For Catherine.
00:00:39Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:41I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:44Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:46She's also way better in bed.
00:00:49What's that?
00:00:55She's pregnant?
00:00:57What?
00:00:58She must be making it to trap you.
00:01:01Give it back.
00:01:05Stop.
00:01:06Give it back.
00:01:06Oh, oh!
00:01:08Oh!
00:01:10Oh!
00:01:12Oh, no!
00:01:14Oh, oh!
00:01:20Oh!
00:01:22Oh!
00:01:32Oh, man!
00:01:34What happened?
00:01:36The baby?
00:01:38Is the baby okay?
00:01:42I'm so sorry.
00:01:46We lost the baby.
00:01:50I'm so sorry.
00:01:56We're right here, Snakeheart.
00:01:58We're right here.
00:02:00I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:02:12I'm ready to come back, darling.
00:02:14Well, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:02:16This isn't about revenge.
00:02:18This is about holding them accountable.
00:02:20Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:02:22I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:02:24Okay.
00:02:26But there is a condition.
00:02:28I have an important announcement.
00:02:32My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:38Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:40I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:44I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:46Trust me.
00:02:48I'm more than ready.
00:02:50I'm more than ready.
00:02:52Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:00Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:03:02There is a condition.
00:03:06You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:03:10Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:03:12It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:03:16It's what's best for our family and the company.
00:03:20I'll do it.
00:03:22I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:26That's what it takes.
00:03:28And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:42Isn't just one of the things we're being called to live in Brussels?
00:03:46That's what I heard.
00:03:48And I think it'll be good for a couple.
00:03:50I think it'll be good for a CEO.
00:03:56Joshua, I was hoping we could get...
00:04:14Not interested.
00:04:15Get lost.
00:04:20Man, you are brutal.
00:04:21That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:04:24Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:26Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:28This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:30Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:31Oh, come on.
00:04:32She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:34There must be some perks to her.
00:04:35Perks or not, she'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:39Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:41Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:44Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully-witted wife?
00:04:59I do.
00:05:02And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully-witted husband?
00:05:07I do.
00:05:08Um, no rings?
00:05:10We may now kiss the bride.
00:05:20Let'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.
00:05:41Understood.
00:05:42And vice versa.
00:05:59My parents want to set up a dinner with us.
00:06:01My assistant will set it up.
00:06:03She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:06:05Done.
00:06:11Joshua Lane has always been so distant with people.
00:06:31Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:36You should sit out of a room and they can't stop chasing.
00:06:39Hmm.
00:06:40Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alice can give me a grandson.
00:06:45But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:51We need an heir after all.
00:06:53Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:56I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to leave Lane Horowitz.
00:07:02Quite the contrary.
00:07:04I don't know.
00:07:05Actually, Josh was very passionate.
00:07:07Especially in the bedroom.
00:07:08No doubt that you'll have that air soon.
00:07:11Okay.
00:07:12Pure information.
00:07:13Passion is not in my DNA.
00:07:14Nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:15But still, thank you for saying it.
00:07:17I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:18I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:24Get the campaign ready.
00:07:25I want that check out.
00:07:26Asa.
00:07:27No, hey.
00:07:28I need a favor.
00:07:29You're right.
00:07:30Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a spear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:31I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:32I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:36Get the campaign ready.
00:07:37I want that check out.
00:07:38Asa.
00:07:39No, hey.
00:07:40I need a favor.
00:07:41You're right.
00:07:42Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a spear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:43Blue Dot and PRs already involved.
00:07:44What agency are we using?
00:07:54We're subtle sightings.
00:07:56Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:58Perfect.
00:07:59Have a plan.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:01Okay.
00:08:02What agency are we using?
00:08:05We're so deciding. Beds are open for this year's contract.
00:08:09Perfect. I 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. I'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 one.
00:08:46I need you to spread the word.
00:08:48Any 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.
00:09:11I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:15But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:09:17I always knew Eleanor and Alex to 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.
00:09:35You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:37Why 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 the 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.
00:10:19How dare you?
00:10:21You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:25I can take care of myself.
00:10:27What she's home.
00:10:34To your new position as senior VP.
00:10:39It'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.
00:10:52I'm poor and powerless.
00:10:53That's all she ever was.
00:10:54She's a joke.
00:10:55A stepping stone at best.
00:10:58You're by my side.
00:10:59We are on this now.
00:11:00I'm poor.
00:11:12Cabin's hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:11:15Bradley has the new senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:11:19Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:11:20Now, as for your request, perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:29Now, how do I pull this off?
00:11:40There 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.
00:11:50I 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, but unless I understand that part of the puzzle, I won't be able to return for faith.
00:12:08Do you care for her?
00:12:11Don't dislike her?
00:12:14No, Mia deserves 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, especially not you.
00:12:24You can choose not to share the information, but you won't be helping her.
00:12:38Your choice.
00:12:39All right, look, if you have to know, unfortunately, we had a miscarriage because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:53I'm sorry for overstepping.
00:13:22I'm 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.
00:13:38So you're not a robot.
00:13:40That don't really says you are.
00:13:42Of course I am.
00:13:43Who says that?
00:13:45Everyone.
00:13:46Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:51I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:54Pardon them all.
00:13:55No, no, no, no, no, it's, it's okay.
00:13:58They're allowed to joke.
00:13:59They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:14:02Besides, I think you should talk like this.
00:14:06It suits you.
00:14:08It's not funny.
00:14:09I'm going to sleep.
00:14:15I'm going to bed.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:19Good night.
00:14:26Talk like this.
00:14:28Go ahead with Plan.
00:14:42Short stop of Catherine's company.
00:14:44I want to see them bleed.
00:14:52Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:55The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:58They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:59Just a weak host is possible.
00:15:02Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:15:04Someone powerful is behind this.
00:15:08Joshua.
00:15:14Did you short time for the stock?
00:15:17Yes, I did.
00:15:18Why?
00:15:19Strictly for business.
00:15:21To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:23Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:25Thank you, Joshua.
00:15:25Strictly for business.
00:15:26Strictly for business.
00:15:27That's necessary.
00:15:27Just like you.
00:15:28Got to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:39Bradley.
00:15:39What are we going to do?
00:15:41They're taking everything.
00:15:43I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:46As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:50Yes, the Gerber Corporation, as in my family's company.
00:15:53Mia Gerber? I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:56Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:59You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:16:02Now you're facing the consequences.
00:16:03I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:16:05Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:16:08I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:16:13Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:16:17This hospital is all that I have left. Please!
00:16:22That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:26You made your decision then.
00:16:28Mia, can we tell? I know I hurt you deeply.
00:16:30I just want to apologize to make things right.
00:16:42Yeah, I'm truly sorry about the reason.
00:16:51I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:54Just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:57Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:59Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:17:02I know. I just...
00:17:04I need you to know that I will always care about you.
00:17:08Deeply.
00:17:08You're really like they say.
00:17:22Tall, handsome, powerful.
00:17:33You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:38Do not engage with women.
00:17:42Have no shame.
00:17:45Hands on.
00:17:45Catherine manipulated me.
00:17:52But now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:54We could start over.
00:17:56With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:59Wait for your parents again.
00:18:00Give us a chance.
00:18:01You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:18:07You're a piece of human trash.
00:18:11You're right, I'm sure.
00:18:12But think about all the good memories we have.
00:18:14Think about more to come.
00:18:16Just let go.
00:18:17Mia, don't.
00:18:17Grab it.
00:18:18Don't.
00:18:18Don't.
00:18:18Don't.
00:18:19Don't.
00:18:19Don't.
00:18:23I should have it on.
00:18:31I should have it on before.
00:18:32I should have it on before, if I could talk to you.
00:18:32It's fine.
00:18:33Don't you?
00:18:34Thank you for stopping in.
00:18:36Thank you for everything.
00:18:43Yeah, I follow through with all my business plans.
00:18:46Right.
00:18:47Yeah.
00:18:48The business plan.
00:18:50You know, you called me your wife for the first time.
00:18:53Don't look into it.
00:18:54It's fine.
00:18:55Let's go.
00:18:56Actually, you know what?
00:18:59Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out
00:19:06my feelings.
00:19:07I understand.
00:19:14They've destroyed everything.
00:19:16We can't let them get away with this.
00:19:18What if we take Mia?
00:19:24A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:28Yes.
00:19:30Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:32I see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:35But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:37I know that she always goes to this one spot alone.
00:19:40From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:43She's dead.
00:20:02Oh, wow.
00:20:04Oh, wow.
00:20:04Oh, wow, wow.
00:20:06Oh, wow.
00:20:06Oh, wow.
00:20:08Oh, wow.
00:20:08Oh.
00:20:40Hey!
00:20:45Hey!
00:20:48Help!
00:20:56Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:21:00You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:21:05Don't bring an end to this, you bitch.
00:21:07Get off!
00:21:10We're talking back to you.
00:21:18Look at you.
00:21:20Just as, of course, I could have saved you.
00:21:23But why would I?
00:21:24You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:28Joshua Lane?
00:21:34Listen, we have Mia Gerber.
00:21:38You want her back?
00:21:39Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:41I'll pay the rent.
00:21:42Well, listen to me clearly.
00:21:45I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never cross me.
00:21:55Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind us.
00:22:00These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:22:02It's fine.
00:22:03It's fine.
00:22:15Mia.
00:22:16Come here.
00:22:19Oh, God.
00:22:20You're right.
00:22:21Come on.
00:22:23It's your honor.
00:22:46Stop, stop, stop.
00:23:06It's not worth it.
00:23:07I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess it's just like someday.
00:23:37It's very unique.
00:23:50What is this?
00:23:52My mom's recipe.
00:23:54Before she passed away, she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:57I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:24:05It's not mine.
00:24:07I just didn't know what I had to do.
00:24:11Oh, sure.
00:24:13Is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:18Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane.
00:24:19A guest has arrived.
00:24:21Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:23So, please, ma'am.
00:24:31Oh, I've missed you so much!
00:24:34Susie, it's been ages.
00:24:42When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:44Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:47It's been too long.
00:24:49Welcome back, Susie.
00:24:50I came back just for you.
00:24:51Oh, there's so much...
00:24:53Oh, there's so much...
00:24:54Hmm.
00:24:56Uh, Susie, this is my wife, Mia.
00:25:00Um, Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:25:03So, you're the one that Joshua had to marry.
00:25:07Oh, Susie, that's enough.
00:25:10Joshua and I have a special bond, you know?
00:25:14We've been friends since, like, forever.
00:25:17He means a lot to me.
00:25:19I want him to be happy.
00:25:21I think we all want that.
00:25:23Do you?
00:25:24Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:27He confides in me.
00:25:29I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:31He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:35Right.
00:25:35Uh, well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on.
00:25:38So, I'll leave you to it.
00:25:46Susie, why would you say those things?
00:25:49I told you I had doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:53Joshua, you're clearly unhappy.
00:25:55I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:57I don't need you to look out for me.
00:26:01I'm sorry.
00:26:02I just...
00:26:04I was trying to help, since you really don't want the marriage.
00:26:10I don't mind it, though.
00:26:12Do you like her?
00:26:15She's fine.
00:26:18This means I still have a chance.
00:26:21Joshua, if I had stayed by your side,
00:26:24you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like me and Gerber.
00:26:28I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant.
00:26:32Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:35Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:38Of course.
00:26:39I'll always be there for you.
00:26:48How's it going?
00:26:51It's this marriage.
00:26:52It's Joshua.
00:26:53He's like a shadow.
00:26:54He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:59You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:27:04Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:27:08Thank you, Noah.
00:27:12How could I live without you?
00:27:17I can live without you.
00:27:18I don't know if you need to protect you, man.
00:27:44Joshua.
00:28:00We can't be like this forever.
00:28:01We have to talk.
00:28:05Why don't you talk to Noah?
00:28:07Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:28:09I don't even know what that means.
00:28:10There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:13You and Susie are the other hand.
00:28:15What?
00:28:17Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:18What's he doing here?
00:28:38Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:41If you ever hurt her, you just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:56And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:59Since I don't talk for no action.
00:29:01What are you two doing?
00:29:04What's going on here?
00:29:05Joshua, why are you acting so rash?
00:29:07This is ridiculous.
00:29:08You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:29:10I didn't invite...
00:29:12Joshua!
00:29:13Well, I'm sorry.
00:29:14I didn't mean to cause any grief between you, too.
00:29:16It wasn't my intention.
00:29:17It's fine.
00:29:19Why are you here?
00:29:20I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:22I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been inspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:28Is that Dwayne?
00:29:30And the CEO of Melody Healthcare?
00:29:35This plan is our game changer.
00:29:37What about Melody Healthcare?
00:29:40They're our biggest threat.
00:29:42They're going in a completely different direction.
00:29:44We're way ahead of that.
00:29:46And how do you know, though?
00:29:48The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:51The drug gave me information from me, but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:55I got to return my own company.
00:29:57You fool to think that.
00:29:59Right.
00:29:59Of course, Dwayne.
00:30:00Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:30:09See?
00:30:10He's fine.
00:30:12I don't know.
00:30:13There's something strange about him.
00:30:15I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:30:17Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:20I will.
00:30:20Me is suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:28Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:32Excellent.
00:30:33Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:37Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:41Me and Gerber will be out of the company.
00:30:43And I'll be the number one.
00:30:52How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:54This was our strategy.
00:30:56Where's Dwayne?
00:30:57He's outside.
00:30:58He's outside.
00:30:58Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:15The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:21I don't know.
00:31:23They kept everything under wraps.
00:31:25They must have developed this independently.
00:31:28Melody Healthcare is a new AI-generated online.
00:31:29You're just too young.
00:31:30You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:33This stuff happens.
00:31:34I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:39And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:42You can learn.
00:31:43Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:32:00Doesn't look good on you.
00:32:02Wow.
00:32:03Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:14Miss Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:18What?
00:32:18We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:29It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:34Acquiring Catherine Feney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:43Now Melody's healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:46Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:51I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:58That's due to the overall market trend, not because of your leadership.
00:33:03My strategies have been more than effective.
00:33:07The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:33:10And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:13This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision, not someone learning on the job.
00:33:21As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:27I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:34I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:39What? What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:45These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:48Killing our strategy.
00:33:53You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:55I've been with you since you've found the company.
00:33:58All these years, I'm never the CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:34:01I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:34:05Well, your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:10We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:34:13Values you clearly lack.
00:34:17Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:20Wait.
00:34:22D?
00:34:22Mayor, we're so proud of you.
00:34:34You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:38You truly are a good one.
00:34:43No, I can't...
00:34:45It all started with anonymous tape.
00:34:48And I intercepted the tape.
00:34:50What's this new schedule for the week?
00:34:55And what's this?
00:34:56Um, seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:34:58I'll take that, too.
00:35:00Thanks.
00:35:11Anonymous.
00:35:12Who would do that?
00:35:13I don't know.
00:35:15But, uh, the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:19Can I see the photos?
00:35:29I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:37Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:41Is this you?
00:35:42In the reflection?
00:35:43Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:44Yeah, it's me.
00:35:46Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:48He set his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:35:51We then delivered the photos.
00:35:54Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:35:58Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:36:00No need to.
00:36:00Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:08Joshua's a...
00:36:09He's a complicated man.
00:36:12He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:15He's never gone through such steps for anyone before me, and this must mean he cares about you.
00:36:20He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:23Well, Joshua has his ways.
00:36:26He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:27I just ask that you...
00:36:30Don't hurt him.
00:36:33No.
00:36:36Your loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:45Joshua, I need to talk to you.
00:36:48It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:36:50What about it?
00:36:52I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne.
00:36:54Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:36:56It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:36:59Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance?
00:37:03Did you do it because...
00:37:04No, no.
00:37:05It's nothing like that.
00:37:06I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper.
00:37:10It looked bad for me.
00:37:12So it's all about appearances?
00:37:14Yes, ma'am.
00:37:15It's all it ever is.
00:37:16We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:19Joshua, I'm so tired of this.
00:37:20Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:25I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:30I want a divorce.
00:37:37I want a divorce.
00:37:42You sure about this?
00:37:43I deserve something real in my life, Joshua.
00:37:48Like this.
00:37:50The thought.
00:37:51I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life.
00:37:56I want genuine happiness.
00:37:58I understand.
00:38:00If that's what you want.
00:38:05Joshua, please.
00:38:06I'll see you with the divorce.
00:38:10I'll see you with the divorce.
00:38:36Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:53Me.
00:38:55Me.
00:38:57Don't leave.
00:38:58Don't leave.
00:38:59You're drunk.
00:39:00Please.
00:39:00Help me take him to his car.
00:39:03I'll take him to my place.
00:39:05You shouldn't be alone.
00:39:08Okay.
00:39:10Let's go.
00:39:30Morning, Josh.
00:39:32Here.
00:39:32Drink this.
00:39:33You've had quite a night.
00:39:36Susie.
00:39:38Where am I?
00:39:40This is my apartment.
00:39:42Nothing bad happened.
00:39:44I also drove your car back here.
00:39:46How did I get here?
00:39:48You were really drunk.
00:39:50I didn't think you should be alone.
00:39:52Josh, what happened?
00:39:55It's over between me and me.
00:39:57We're getting a divorce.
00:39:58Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:07You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:13No, I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:22Why?
00:40:23I have always loved you.
00:40:26Now that you and me are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:30Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:35It can't be anything more.
00:40:36I'm sorry.
00:40:40Do you really love that mute cover?
00:40:43No.
00:40:46Yes, Susie.
00:40:47A matter of fact, I do.
00:40:50I need to go tell her.
00:40:51Now.
00:40:51I need to go tell her.
00:41:21Oh, hey.
00:41:37I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:41:40Are you okay?
00:41:41I'm fine.
00:41:42It's just, it's for the best.
00:41:45It's not that I need to tell you or love for us here.
00:41:48I'm sorry.
00:41:49It's the hospital.
00:41:50Hello?
00:41:51Hello?
00:41:52What?
00:41:53What happened?
00:41:54Is he okay?
00:41:57Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
00:41:59What's wrong?
00:41:59It's Joshua.
00:42:01He's been in an accident.
00:42:09Excuse me.
00:42:10Excuse me.
00:42:11I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:12Okay.
00:42:12I'm here for Joshua.
00:42:19Joshua.
00:42:22Miss Gerber?
00:42:23Yeah?
00:42:24We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:27It was nobody's fault.
00:42:29It was nobody's fault.
00:42:34It was an accident.
00:42:35But right now, she needs you.
00:42:38Do your best to help me wake up, Lee.
00:42:40I won't leave you.
00:42:40I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:42:49Remember that soup you made me?
00:42:52I meant the world to me.
00:42:55Whenever you get better, we'll make you that soup.
00:42:59Because it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:03It was those little moments with you.
00:43:07You know, whenever we would wake up and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:12So don't feel as the happiest part of my day.
00:43:25Please come back to me.
00:43:30This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:33You drove him to this.
00:43:35You hurt him.
00:43:37And now, look what's happened to him.
00:43:42Mayor, we have a problem.
00:43:49Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:43:54Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:43:56So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:43:59I won't stand for him.
00:44:00What's the plan?
00:44:02I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:04He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:06His voice can swear to me.
00:44:09Short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:10I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:13After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:17Would you like it?
00:44:18I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:20Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:24So, tell me.
00:44:25Why do you want to see me?
00:44:27Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:30You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:32Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:37We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:44:40I can't do anything at this time.
00:44:42Joshua is out of commission.
00:44:44It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:44:47Gerald is not in good health after a stroke.
00:44:51Alex is the only choice.
00:44:52What if I told you there's another choice?
00:44:59What if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:03I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:07I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:14Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:19If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:23And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:26Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:29I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:32They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:45:36I devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:45:40What if he doesn't?
00:45:42He will.
00:45:44I admire your tenacity.
00:45:46I'll do what I can.
00:45:47Thank you, Mr. Lee.
00:46:07I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:10You did the same for me.
00:46:16We'll let you down.
00:46:17Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:31Mia Gerber?
00:46:32She's going to get that company.
00:46:34How is she even qualified?
00:46:35Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:46:38She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:46:41Combining the strengths of both companies and her leadership will only make Lane Holdings strong.
00:46:46This is absurd.
00:46:47This is absurd.
00:46:48Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operation.
00:46:52While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:46:58And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:47:04I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:08I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:10Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:14What's that?
00:47:16Stop, Alex.
00:47:22Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:28Let's go.
00:47:30Ain't gonna take over?
00:47:31No consequences, ma'am?
00:47:33I'm gonna make a pitch.
00:47:34You won't be touching her.
00:47:39Who the fuck are you?
00:47:45Damn it!
00:47:46She's tall!
00:47:47Take care of her!
00:47:56See the security camera?
00:47:58I'm gonna get the footage.
00:47:59If you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:02You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:48:05Ever!
00:48:06Damn it!
00:48:18Next thing.
00:48:26Noel, what happened?
00:48:27Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:30You're not fine.
00:48:32You're bleeding.
00:48:35Are you okay?
00:48:40Thanks, but the reason I came over was I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:48:45Mrs. Lane.
00:48:46It's Mr. Lane.
00:48:47He's waking up from the coma.
00:48:51I have to go to the hospital.
00:48:53No, no, no, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:01Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:03It's fucking Joshua.
00:49:04When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:14Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:15But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:25Mia.
00:49:27Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:30Mia.
00:49:33Excuse me, Miss.
00:49:36Mr. Lane?
00:49:38Mr. Lane?
00:49:40Mia.
00:49:40Mia.
00:49:40Can you hear me, sir?
00:49:43Yeah.
00:49:44Call his wife, Mia Gerber, immediately.
00:49:46Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me.
00:49:48Do you remember what day it is?
00:49:50Mia.
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:52We're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:49:59I'm sorry, sir.
00:50:00I'm sorry.
00:50:01This is all my fault.
00:50:02No, Mia.
00:50:04Don't blame yourself.
00:50:07I'm surprised I was willing to marry you.
00:50:09You got hurt because of me.
00:50:11Yeah.
00:50:12I'm sorry for all the pain that caused you.
00:50:16I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:17I'm not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:19Even to myself.
00:50:21I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:23I love you, Mia.
00:50:26I'm not being honest.
00:50:27You should just let them soon.
00:50:28I love you, too, Joshua.
00:50:55Noah Bellini.
00:50:57Drinking alone?
00:50:58What do you want, Dwayne?
00:51:00Just a thought.
00:51:01You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:05Maybe we can help each other out.
00:51:12Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:51:16I heard you ran with us interim CEO, Lane Holdings.
00:51:20I handled things.
00:51:20I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:51:26Who's the partner?
00:51:27Kevin Katz.
00:51:30He's a key player in the industry.
00:51:33Katz?
00:51:34He's notorious for being pansy with business problems.
00:51:39I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:51:42I can handle Katz.
00:51:44We've got the first.
00:51:45Just be careful.
00:51:47Yeah.
00:51:48Noah.
00:51:48Noah.
00:51:48I promise.
00:51:54I got a key.
00:51:59I love you.
00:52:00I love you.
00:52:08So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial, especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:13Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:15I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:17Now with you at the helm, perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:52:27Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:52:29Oh, come on, Mia.
00:52:32Don't be such a prude.
00:52:34Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:52:40Don't you agree?
00:52:42I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:52:49You'll regret this.
00:52:50If I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:52:56Now you have one last chance.
00:52:58Oh!
00:52:59Oh!
00:53:03That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:05Hey.
00:53:15How'd the meeting go?
00:53:19Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:22What did he do?
00:53:23I handled it.
00:53:25Okay.
00:53:27Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:53:32Can I get you some water?
00:53:33Can I get you some water?
00:53:35Ethan, get the bodyguard you meet me downstairs.
00:53:46I can't explain right now.
00:53:47Just do it.
00:53:53Where's Sashwa?
00:53:54Mr. Lane checked out.
00:53:56He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:53:58No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:00What are you trying to do?
00:54:06I'll teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:11Oh!
00:54:12Oh!
00:54:13Oh!
00:54:15You can't do this, Lane.
00:54:17I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:21This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:54:24There was something quite illegal.
00:54:25I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:54:29You can't sue me.
00:54:31It was a long time ago.
00:54:33If I can still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:54:37In fact, just it.
00:54:40If the victim's identity was protected,
00:54:42then they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:54:48Where were you?
00:54:48I was worried sick.
00:54:50I had to take care of something.
00:54:52I don't care.
00:54:52I told you I handled it.
00:54:55I can take care of myself.
00:54:57I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:54:59Still, you're so reckless!
00:55:04It's okay now.
00:55:06You handled it?
00:55:07Yeah.
00:55:08I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:12I really do love you, Joshua.
00:55:16I love you too, man.
00:55:20I have a surprise for you.
00:55:21I made something for you.
00:55:33What's this?
00:55:34It's your mom's recipe.
00:55:37I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:55:42I can't believe you made this.
00:55:45That it may bring you some comfort.
00:55:46I can't believe you made this.
00:55:46That it may bring you some comfort.
00:55:51this is exactly how she used to make it how'd you get it so right i may have had some help
00:56:02from the internet and about 50 practice runs yeah just us

00:57:01issues in the hospital and psychiatric care units we proceed melody healthcare has insiders inside
00:57:10their supply chain will start by creating delays and quality issues the fallout will be immediate
00:57:16and devastating the resources stretch so thin they won't even see us coming

00:59:04what do you mean they stopped supplying to us
00:59:10no one
00:59:22the suppliers are backing out for no reason
00:59:25it's competitive marketing yeah

01:00:42involving a higher level
01:00:44let me assure you
01:00:46gerber corporation is as strong as ever
01:00:48these rumors are unfounded
01:00:51you're right

01:01:06although he has been acting weird lately
01:01:08have you ever considered him i have feelings for you
01:01:11bring feelings make us do things

01:01:17my actions speak louder than words
01:01:35i mean sure he's supportive and caring but that's just no being no
01:01:40i really don't think there's anything more to it
01:01:42there's anything more to it sometimes the people closest to us surprise us the most

01:04:15dwayne double down on the plan
01:04:19there's no going back now
01:04:27noah
01:04:30what brings you here
01:04:32i think it's time for your company to reconsider its partnership with gerber
01:04:34i'm not sure what you're implying it's simple harbor medical devices is the biggest supplier for
01:04:41gerber corporation if you cut the eyes with gerber it'll deal a critical bloat
01:04:48so you're the one behind the scheme
01:04:51why would i go along with it the question is why wouldn't you you and i are like susie
01:05:01it's a lot of people who don't love us back
01:05:03i've already let it go
01:05:05i let it go when we still have a chance
01:05:08me and the gerber family are out of the company the lean family won the business alliance
01:05:12joshua and neil will get the force you and i can finally be with them
01:05:23join together we can make sure we aren't ignoring
01:05:31so mia we've heard smart suppliers are terminating contracts
01:05:35trust me we have the situation under control it's not what i heard the rumor is how per
01:05:40medical device is pulling out how do you explain this i assure you we're addressing the
01:05:46concerns but our relationship with our suppliers has never been stronger as one of
01:05:50the larger shareholders i have complete faith in his leadership these rumors are just that rumors
01:05:57the rumor was right harper medical devices decided to terminate the contract with us
01:06:09but there's still hope i've convinced harper to continue their partnership with us
01:06:15but only if i become the new ceo
01:06:19it's time for a change in leadership someone who could steer this company in the right direction
01:06:24so i brought suzy harper with me the acting ceo of harper medical devices
01:06:30suzy will tell you all that she would like me and gerber to resign
01:06:36actually i think there's been a misunderstanding harper medical devices never intended to terminate
01:06:42our contracts for our corporation any rumor suggesting otherwise is false
01:06:47furthermore i believe in mia's leadership and the direction that she's taking
01:06:56thank you suzy i owe you a big one you don't owe me anything
01:07:01i just want joshua the person who loves to be happy
01:07:04and i have evidence that noah bolani has been conspiring with former ousted executive dwayne kaiser
01:07:19to sabotage the company mr bolani your actions have endangered the company and everybody in it
01:07:28you're therefore terminated
01:07:42i don't know
01:07:55it's quite the view
01:07:56say sorry i should have been clearer i didn't mean to lead you on
01:08:08i was lost in my actions i'm sorry for everything
