00:00:00Sophie Swift!
00:00:01You married some random callboy?
00:00:03What?
00:00:05OK, husband, so from now on, I pay you 10K a month
00:00:08for as long as we're married, and it was a pleasure
00:00:10doing business with you.
00:00:12This must be your new boy toy, huh?
00:00:14Stay away from it.
00:00:15This is where you live.
00:00:17Uh, you know, thanks for the ride.
00:00:19I'll catch you later.
00:00:20I got married.
00:00:21Girl of my dreams.
00:00:22She doesn't really know who I am yet.
00:00:23Take care of the company while I'm gone, OK?
00:00:25You work the hotels at night and then here during the day.
00:00:29Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.
00:00:31If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.
00:00:34You know, you two make the perfect couple.
00:00:37After all.
00:00:39Trash sticks with trash.
00:00:43You need to file for divorce right now.
00:00:47Sophie's taking over the company today.
00:00:49Don't worry.
00:00:50I won't let her win.
00:00:51Three million.
00:00:53Fifteen million?
00:00:54Fifteen million.
00:00:55I have fifteen million.
00:00:57What the fuck is Justin late?
00:00:59It's time I reveal my true identity.
00:01:16What the heck happened last night?
00:01:18Oh, God.
00:01:32Did I really sleep with a cowboy?
00:01:34You're just gonna leave without saying goodbye?
00:01:48Oh, I forgot to pay you.
00:02:05Of course.
00:02:07Two grand should cover it.
00:02:09Goodbye.
00:02:10Uh, and I will see you...
00:02:24Never.
00:02:26The truth is, I met her once seven years ago.
00:02:39I had just arrived in Paris for my foreign exchange program, but I got my wallet and phone stolen on my first day here.
00:02:45Excuse me.
00:02:48Excuse me.
00:02:49How are you?
00:02:50Do you speak English?
00:02:53Um, please...
00:02:54Um, please...
00:02:55Um, please...
00:02:56Please take a picture.
00:02:57Please take a picture.
00:02:59Please take a picture.
00:03:03Please take a picture.
00:03:04Please take a picture.
00:03:05American?
00:03:15American?
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:21You speak English.
00:03:22Yeah, and let me guess your wallet and your phone were stolen.
00:03:26How'd you know that?
00:03:27I mean, it happens.
00:03:28I was in your shoes not too long ago.
00:03:30But...
00:03:32This should be enough to get you a taxi to wherever you want to go.
00:03:36Good luck.
00:03:38Wait, I didn't...
00:03:40Get your name.
00:03:54Oh, Sophie Swift. Smile for the camera.
00:03:58Oh, if your fiancé finds out about your little one night stand, think he'll still marry you?
00:04:06You still think I'd marry that lying, cheating, tiny dick man whore?
00:04:09You know what? Since you like to sleep with him, why don't you marry him?
00:04:13Well, I'm gonna show Derek and Daddy these photos.
00:04:15See what they have to say.
00:04:18Hey, psycho, what are you doing?
00:04:21Oops.
00:04:22Looks like you need a new phone.
00:04:25Here.
00:04:26Go buy one.
00:04:28Now get out before I call security.
00:04:35Oh, my gosh.
00:04:37Hey.
00:04:38So, you work at the hotels, huh?
00:04:40Actually, this is just one of the many hotels...
00:04:44Oh, um, my car is here.
00:04:46Keep this.
00:04:47You did really good last night.
00:04:53One of the many hotels that I own.
00:04:55This woman is always giving me money.
00:04:56Wait.
00:04:57Does she really think I'm a cowboy?
00:04:58Hey, boss.
00:04:59Hey, boss.
00:05:00Still unforgot.
00:05:01Hey, boss.
00:05:02Still unforgot.
00:05:03Hey, boss.

00:05:05I have rescheduled.
00:05:06Take me to the maple plaza site.
00:05:07I need to check it out.
00:05:08Hey, boss.
00:05:09I need to check out a few things.
00:05:10I need to check out a few things.
00:05:11I need to check out a few things.
00:05:12I need to check out a few things.
00:05:13I need to check out a few things.
00:05:14This woman is always giving me money.
00:05:16Wait.
00:05:17Does she really think I'm a cowboy?
00:05:19I need to brokerage a cowboy?
00:05:20Hey, boss.
00:05:21Are you still romanign for golf at the center?
00:05:22I have rescheduled.
00:05:23Take me to the maple plaza site.
00:05:24I need to check out a few things.
00:05:26What's going on?
00:05:28You're missing I need to check out a few things.
00:05:29Oh, you're missing I need to check out a few things.
00:05:30Hey, boss.
00:05:31Take me to the Maple Plaza site. I need to check on a few things.
00:05:50Look into Sophie Swift for me. I need to know everything about her.
00:05:54Got it, boss.
00:06:01Well, if she's gonna sleep with some random male escort, I don't want to marry her anymore.
00:06:13But Derek, if you don't marry Sophie, she can't inherit her late mother's company. We talked about this.
00:06:20You heard what Stella said. She saw Sophie with another man. It's not my fault.
00:06:25Daddy, don't be mad. You know how irresponsible Sophie is.
00:06:31Sophie, where the hell are you? Come home now.
00:06:53Yeah, boss, what you need?
00:06:54Alright, so the first round of the state inspection is next week. So we gotta make sure everything's good to go.
00:06:58It's all under control, boss. We got it.
00:07:00See, look. The trash over by the trash can needs to go in the trash can. It could be laying around on the ground, right?
00:07:05My mistake, boss. I'll take care of it right away.
00:07:08Let's go.
00:07:11Scoot and spankin'.
00:07:13Hey!
00:07:14Where the hell are you? Need to come home right now.
00:07:23What do you want, Dad? I'm meeting with the construction site manager to go over some changes to the blueprint.
00:07:27Your sister told me everything. Have you no shame? Derek wants to break off the engagement. You need to come home and beg him to take you back if you want to save the company.
00:07:39I don't want to marry him either. He's there with you, isn't he? Put me on speaker.
00:07:44Hey, Derek. Fuck you.
00:07:48You turned 25 in three days. How do you expect to inherit your mother's company? If you don't get married, it's clearly stated in the will.
00:07:56You know what? I will marry anybody else but him. Goodbye.
00:08:06It's you.
00:08:09It's you.
00:08:10Um, so you work at the hotels at night and then here during the day. Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.
00:08:20I usually handle it just fine, but I'm especially tired after last night. How many rounds?
00:08:25Oh wait, stop it. I'm right there.
00:08:28Anyway, what brings you here today, Ms. Swift?
00:08:31You can call me Sophie. And I'm supposed to meet the construction site manager, but I'm late and I think that they've already left.
00:08:38So, I guess I can just call him later.
00:08:41Oh, snap. She's from the architecture firm that's partnered with us.
00:08:45Justin, you must be exhausted from working two jobs. Why don't you come work for me instead?
00:08:51Huh?
00:08:52I can double your current salary, whatever it is.
00:08:55Where are we going? What's the job?
00:08:57City Hall. And the job is to marry me.
00:09:00What?
00:09:01Okay, husband. So, from now on, I pay you 10k a month for as long as we're married and it was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:09:17You got a boss. Or should I say a wife?
00:09:20Boss wife. Let the show begin.
00:09:22Nice of you to finally come home.
00:09:35If I were you, I'd be begging Derek to take me back.
00:09:38Derek probably doesn't even want to see her anymore. That's why she came crawling back here.
00:09:42That's funny coming from two homewreckers.
00:09:45How dare you?
00:09:46Tony, do you hear your daughter?
00:09:49Rude brat.
00:09:51I am not here to listen to you guys talk down on me.
00:09:54I'm here to show you my marriage certificate.
00:09:56And in about three days time, I will be taking over my late mother's architecture firm.
00:10:01And you guys can't do anything about it.
00:10:04Who the fuck is Justin Lake?
00:10:09Justin Lake. Her name sounds familiar.
00:10:13I know I've heard that name before.
00:10:15Wait, is that the guy from this morning? You married some random cowboy?
00:10:21What?
00:10:22That's appalling.
00:10:23Oh, not as appalling as you. At least I didn't sleep with a married man and get pregnant.
00:10:28Don't you dare talk to my mother that way.
00:10:31You need to file for divorce right now or never set foot in this house again.
00:10:38I'm okay with that. I was just here to show you my certificate. So.
00:10:45Holy fuck, Sophie. You got married to a stranger.
00:10:53Holy fuck, Sophie. You got married to a stranger.
00:10:55Yes, Kendall. You asked me three times already. And like I said, fake marry so that I can inherit my mother's company.
00:11:00Yeah, still, marriage is a huge deal.
00:11:04What am I supposed to do? Marry Derek?
00:11:09You're right. Anyone is better than Derek. Have no mercy for cheaters.
00:11:14So, how did you meet this Justin Lake?
00:11:18Two grand should cover it?
00:11:21I'd rather not say that.
00:11:25Okay. What does he do for a living?
00:11:28Okay, I'd rather not answer that one either.
00:11:30You gotta give me something.
00:11:32Look, point being, I am paying him ten grand a month to play my husband for a couple months.
00:11:37Wait, you're paying him ten grand?
00:11:39And then we get divorced.
00:11:40I'm your assistant.
00:11:42Why is his salary higher than mine?
00:11:44I want a raise.
00:11:45A raise. Okay.
00:11:51I need you to look into someone for me.
00:11:53His name?
00:11:55Justin Lake.
00:12:02Boss, what's happening? You've been like this all morning.
00:12:15I got married yesterday to the girl of my dreams.
00:12:18Wait, the Paris girl?
00:12:21Yep.
00:12:22Wait, let me guess. Sophie Swift?
00:12:25Yep. She's with Swift Architecture.
00:12:27We're actually working with him on the Maple Plaza project.
00:12:30Huh.
00:12:31She doesn't really know who I am yet.
00:12:32Huh?
00:12:33And she's giving me ten grand a month.
00:12:36Isn't she cute?
00:12:37Huh?
00:12:42Hey.
00:12:43Hey yourself.
00:12:44Alright, first day on the job.
00:12:46I texted you an address.
00:12:47Please meet me there.
00:12:49You got it.
00:12:52I gotta go.
00:12:53What do you mean you gotta go?
00:12:54Where?
00:12:56She called. I gotta go.
00:12:57That's it.
00:12:58Wait, what about our meetings today?
00:12:59You gotta cancel it.
00:13:00Just more important.
00:13:03Huh?
00:13:14Looking good, Joey.
00:13:16Welcome, Miss Swift.
00:13:18I have your dress right here, if you...
00:13:20Actually, my husband is coming in a minute and he needs some decent suits.
00:13:23And you're the only designer in LA that I trust.
00:13:25Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, Miss Swift, but this is too last minute. I am swamped by orders.
00:13:38I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:13:40Okay.
00:13:41I'm so sorry.
00:13:42I'm so sorry.
00:13:43I'm so sorry.
00:13:44I'm so sorry.
00:13:45I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.
00:13:46Everything looks so expensive.
00:13:47You really don't have to do this for me.
00:13:49Well, you're my husband.
00:13:50Of course I do.
00:13:51But I'm happy to.
00:13:52So...
00:13:53Can you get his measurements, please?
00:13:54Oh, there's no need.
00:13:55I mean...
00:13:56I mean...
00:13:57I mean...
00:13:58I mean...
00:13:59Well, I've been doing this for too long.
00:14:00Oh, one look.
00:14:01Oh, and I have a rough number in mind.
00:14:02Okay.
00:14:03Well, see, then this is the answer.
00:14:04Is it just a little bit more?
00:14:05I know.
00:14:06No, I'm sorry.
00:14:07I'm sorry.
00:14:08I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.
00:14:09I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.
00:14:10Everything looks so expensive.
00:14:11You really don't have to do this for me.
00:14:12Well, you're my husband.
00:14:13Of course I do.
00:14:14But I'm happy to.
00:14:15So...
00:14:16Can you get his measurements, please?
00:14:17There's no need.
00:14:18I mean...
00:14:19I mean...
00:14:20Well, I've been doing this for too long.
00:14:21Oh, and I have a rough number in mind.
00:14:23Okay.
00:14:24Well, see, then this is why we're here.
00:14:25Joey's the expert of experts.
00:14:27Well, I have some suits you'll look stunning in, Mr. Lake.
00:14:30Please, follow me.
00:14:32I'll wait for you on here, okay?
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:38These two racks are customized for you, Mr. Lake.
00:14:42Grab a few options and I can pretend to put them on.
00:14:51It's not bad.
00:15:06Okay, what kind of witchcraft is this?
00:15:08Every suit fits you like a glove.
00:15:11Trade secrets.
00:15:21Oh, sorry.
00:15:32No, that's...
00:15:33That's okay.
00:15:34Um, we're actually gonna take all three suits.
00:15:37Uh...
00:15:38Well, actually, we're having our annual sale on now.
00:15:44All the suits you chose are 30% off.
00:15:46Really?
00:15:47You never have sales.
00:15:49Let me wrap these up for you.
00:15:51Okay.
00:15:55Promise I'll make enough money to pay you back.
00:15:56You are my husband, okay?
00:15:58You don't have to pay me back.
00:16:02At least not with money.
00:16:16Wow.
00:16:18I've never had a woman take me shopping,
00:16:19buy me expensive clothes,
00:16:20and offer to take me home.
00:16:23Lucky you.
00:16:24You just won the jackpot.
00:16:26There's no argument there.
00:16:27Come on, dinner's on me.
00:16:29Okay, Sophie.
00:16:33That really is you.
00:16:34What do you want?
00:16:35So Stella was right about you.
00:16:37This must be your new boy toy, huh?
00:16:40And you must be the cheating, lying, tiny dick man-whore, right?
00:16:45You bitch, is that what you told him?
00:16:50You bitch, is that what you told him?
00:16:52No.
00:16:57You call my wife a bitch again,
00:16:59and I won't hesitate to break your nose.
00:17:01You hear me?
00:17:03Bitch?
00:17:04Whatever, Kim.
00:17:06Chill the fuck out.
00:17:08Now shoot.
00:17:09Unless you want to get hit.
00:17:11Whatever.
00:17:12Arrogant prick.
00:17:13Come on.
00:17:17I'm extra hungry now.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:22Are you sure you want to pay for dinner?
00:17:23This place is very expensive.
00:17:26Look, you pay me ten grand a month.
00:17:28I think I can comfortably afford this.
00:17:30Don't worry about it.
00:17:31Order whatever you'd like.
00:17:33All right.
00:17:34Don't blame me if I break your wallet.
00:17:39Mr. Lake!
00:17:40Well, why didn't you tell me you were coming in tonight?
00:17:45Justin, is he talking to you?
00:17:53Dennis.
00:17:54My good buddy Dennis.
00:17:55Long time no see.
00:17:56How are you?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58You know the GM here.
00:18:00I, uh...
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:02From when I, uh...
00:18:03When I used to work here for...
00:18:04For work.
00:18:06Right!
00:18:07Hi, Justin!
00:18:08From when I used to work here.
00:18:10My brother!
00:18:12We really miss you around here.
00:18:15What did you use to do here?
00:18:17I would, uh...
00:18:20I'd bring clients.
00:18:22Great.
00:18:23Uh, so you rep shared with the restaurant.
00:18:29That's clever.
00:18:31No wonder you brought me here.
00:18:32Why didn't you just tell me?
00:18:34Hm?
00:18:35So you ready to order?
00:18:40Teddy bear?
00:18:52Teddy bear?
00:18:54Sophie bear.
00:18:56Come here.
00:18:57Hi!
00:18:59When did you get back from Barcelona?
00:19:00Ah, this morning.
00:19:01Why didn't you call me to come get you from the airport?
00:19:03I want to be a surprise.
00:19:05Consider me surprised.
00:19:07How did you even know I was here?
00:19:09Oh!
00:19:10Dummy.
00:19:11Come on.
00:19:12You remember you share your location with my phone?
00:19:14After what happened last time?
00:19:15Uh-huh.
00:19:16Come on.
00:19:17Any more questions?
00:19:18Okay, okay.
00:19:19Oh, uh...
00:19:20Justin, meet Teddy, my best friend.
00:19:22Justin.
00:19:23Teddy!
00:19:24It's a firm handshake you got there.
00:19:32Am I interrupting anything?
00:19:33Actually, we were just...
00:19:34No, join us for dinner.
00:19:37Great.
00:19:38I'm starving.
00:19:40Great.
00:19:41So, how is business in Barcelona?
00:19:51Oh, fantastic.
00:19:52We broke record sales three years in a row.
00:19:54Revenue's up over half a billion now.
00:19:56Congratulations.
00:19:57Your father must be so proud.
00:20:02Wow.
00:20:03Half a billion.
00:20:04What line of work are you in, Todd?
00:20:06Ted.
00:20:07Uh, it's construction.
00:20:08It's construction.
00:20:09We're one of the largest construction companies in Spain.
00:20:11Yeah, my mom was an architect.
00:20:12That's why we're family friends.
00:20:15Well, profit margin in construction is pretty low.
00:20:18So, you're saying your revenue is $500 million.
00:20:21That means you took down, what, $300 million?
00:20:24Even after taxes, that's...
00:20:25Justin, stop being so rude.
00:20:26No, no.
00:20:27It's fine.
00:20:28It's fine.
00:20:29He's right.
00:20:30We have a long way to go.
00:20:31I'm certain we'll surpass late construction here in no time.
00:20:35What about you, Justin?
00:20:36What type of work are you in?
00:20:44Shit.
00:20:45Justin must feel so embarrassed.
00:20:47Oh, uh, Justin works with me now.
00:20:49Uh, he is my assistant architect.
00:20:53That's nice.
00:20:54So, I flew back from Barcelona to take care of some emergency family matters, but I'll be here for a while this time.
00:21:05Call me whenever.
00:21:06We need to hang out.
00:21:08Of course.
00:21:10I haven't seen you in, what, a year?
00:21:12A long time.
00:21:13We need to catch up.
00:21:14Yeah.
00:21:18Bye, Ted.
00:21:19Bye.
00:21:23Yeah, bye.
00:21:28That's your bestie, huh?
00:21:29Well, we practically grew up together.
00:21:31He is like my brother from another mother.
00:21:33By the way, I know it got a little awkward when Teddy started asking you about your line of business, so I have another proposal.
00:21:41Why don't you join my company?
00:21:43Oh, fuck.
00:21:45No shade to your previous profession.
00:21:48I just think anyone making money with their hard work should be treated with respect.
00:21:54Sophie, the thing is...
00:21:56Oh, just come in for an interview.
00:22:00Please.
00:22:01I think a career change won't hurt you, and it'll help our story.
00:22:05And here is your bill, sir.
00:22:09Just give me a time and a place, boss, and I'll be there.
00:22:12Yay!
00:22:14No need to be nervous, okay?
00:22:15We're just gonna chat a bit.
00:22:16Sounds good to me.
00:22:17So, do you have your resume on you?
00:22:18I sure do.
00:22:19I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:22:20Nothing special.
00:22:21Don't worry.
00:22:22Sophie has already chosen you as her prince charming.
00:22:23I'm pretty sure you've done something.
00:22:24Oh!
00:22:25Oh!
00:22:26Oh!
00:22:27Oh!
00:22:28Oh!
00:22:29Oh!
00:22:30Oh!
00:22:31Oh!
00:22:32Oh!
00:22:33Oh!
00:22:34Oh!
00:22:35Oh!
00:22:36Oh!
00:22:37Oh!
00:22:38Oh!
00:22:39Oh!
00:22:40Oh!
00:22:41Oh!
00:22:42Oh!
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:44Oh!
00:22:45This is incredible.
00:22:46You went to LISAA in Paris?
00:22:49That's correct.
00:22:50You were the chief designer of the reconstruction of Shangri-La Paris?
00:22:54You got that right, too.
00:22:55And you design Filharmoné de Perri as well?
00:23:01You're hired.
00:23:10I just got hired at Swift Architecture. I start today.
00:23:13What?
00:23:14Are you trying to blow up my eardrums?
00:23:16But boss, what about late construction?
00:23:18I'm gonna count on you to take care of the company while I'm gone.
00:23:20Okay? Goodbye.
00:23:22Boss.
00:23:24Boss!
00:23:27Take care of what company?
00:23:33Take care of what company?
00:23:36Take care of Tommy.
00:23:38My pet goldfish.
00:23:40Since I'll be working for you now and I'll be super busy,
00:23:44a pet goldfish requires a lot of work.
00:23:47Water changes and everything.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:51Anyways, come on. I'll give you a ride.
00:23:54Where are we going?
00:23:55Well, I don't want to overwork you on your first day.
00:23:57Let me give you a ride home.
00:23:59My home?
00:24:04This is where you live.
00:24:06Yep, thanks for the ride.
00:24:07I'll catch you later.
00:24:10You can head out now.
00:24:12No worries.
00:24:13Go ahead.
00:24:16You know, I forgot my key.
00:24:18I'll wait for my roomie to get here.
00:24:21You share this place with a roomie.
00:24:24Four.
00:24:25Four roomies.
00:24:26No, no, no.
00:24:27This won't do.
00:24:30Wait.
00:24:31Huh?
00:24:32What brings us here today?
00:24:37Well, we're looking at new houses, obviously.
00:24:39I have my eye on the single family.
00:24:41It's a little bit pricey, though.
00:24:43About 30 million.
00:24:44But the design of Lake Enterprise is stunning,
00:24:47and the location could not be any better.
00:24:49Lake Enterprise?
00:24:50Hmm?
00:24:51Let's go buy you a house.
00:24:53Me?
00:24:54Transportation around here is super convenient.
00:24:57Subway is just around the corner.
00:24:59Excellent school district.
00:25:00And we have a new Maple Plaza opening next year.
00:25:04What's your take on the neighborhood?
00:25:07It's great.
00:25:09Too many pamphlets on the site?
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:11I'll be right back.
00:25:12If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.
00:25:29Hey, sis.
00:25:30House hunting so soon after getting married?
00:25:34That's none of your business.
00:25:35The whole Derek insists on buying me a house.
00:25:37That's right, babe.
00:25:38Whichever one you fancy, I'll buy it for you.
00:25:42Ms. Swift, here are the pamphlets you asked for.
00:25:44Oh, I'll take whichever lock she's looking at.
00:25:47Use this card.
00:25:52Sorry, it's mine now.
00:25:57I don't know, I just have a feeling today is not a good day for you two.
00:26:01What are you, a psychic?
00:26:03This guy is delusional.
00:26:05Hey, let me tell you how this is going to work out for you, compadre.
00:26:08Sorry, sir.
00:26:09Our card processing is down for maintenance.
00:26:13What the fuck?
00:26:15Do you take check?
00:26:18Sorry, our system is down.
00:26:20We won't be able to process any payments today.
00:26:23Forget it.
00:26:24Let's get out of here then.
00:26:28I guess we'll just have to come back.
00:26:31Ms. Swift, our services are back online.
00:26:33Already?
00:26:34And we have a promotion today.
00:26:36We have...
00:26:3950% off.
00:26:4050% off.
00:26:45Deal.
00:26:49Deal.
00:26:50Oh my god.
00:26:51You're kind of adorable when you're happy, huh?
00:26:5615 million?
00:26:57I could buy another one.
00:26:59But how does he have the authority for that kind of promo?
00:27:04You think he's some undercover billionaire?
00:27:07What if he's Mr. Lake?
00:27:09The CEO of Lake Enterprise?
00:27:10It does look quite handsome, by the way.
00:27:16Right?
00:27:18I'm not handsome?
00:27:19I'm not handsome.
00:27:29Daddy, Sophie took her boy toy to buy a house today.
00:27:32And she had a huge argument with Derek.
00:27:34She knows exactly how to rile me.
00:27:38I bet Derek is pissed.
00:27:40Well, what if I marry Derek?
00:27:47What if I marry Derek?
00:27:49And bring the families together?
00:27:51Absolutely not.
00:27:53And their engagement is already a scandal.
00:27:56If you marry Derek, our entire family will be a joke.
00:28:03If only Sophie were as obedient as you.
00:28:10I have no idea what any of this shit means.
00:28:14Derek.
00:28:20Sophie's taking over the company today.
00:28:22I have nothing.
00:28:24Don't worry.
00:28:26I won't let her win.
00:28:40So, today marks the first day of me taking over my mother's company.
00:28:55And I am very eager to work with you all.
00:28:57Your scandal with Derek has tarnished the company's image.
00:29:00Indeed.
00:29:02And the stock took another hit today.
00:29:03How are you going to address that?
00:29:05This discussion has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:29:06But Derek has conspired with other firms against us.
00:29:11This is all your fault.
00:29:13I will take care of this.
00:29:15And I can assure you that if I don't turn the company around in six months,
00:29:19I will step down voluntarily.
00:29:23Now, let's get back to work.
00:29:25Patrick.
00:29:29Sophie needs help.
00:29:31Um, what do you need me to do, boss?
00:29:35I need you to sign a three-year exclusive deal with Swift Enterprise on my behalf.
00:29:42Mr. and Mrs. Swift, I hear your company's been having some trouble.
00:29:52Our stock's tanking. It's driving me crazy.
00:29:56It's all Sophie's fault.
00:29:58Sophie and I had a tiny misunderstanding.
00:30:01So she rushed into marriage to get back at me.
00:30:04But if she begs me to take her back and apologizes to me,
00:30:09I won't mind marrying her.
00:30:12You've always been a perfect match for Sophie.
00:30:16Once Sophie and I are married,
00:30:19our companies can unite.
00:30:21And we will be unstoppable.
00:30:24Make Sophie divorce him and dump that freeloader for good.
00:30:29I'll make sure Sophie marries you, Derek.
00:30:31Alright.
00:30:33I won't take up any more of your time.
00:30:34Sophie, come home right away. It's urgent.
00:30:43What is your emergency?
00:30:48Divorce that loser husband and marry Derek.
00:30:57Now.
00:30:59That's your emergency?
00:31:01Your husband is a loser.
00:31:04Our stocks are tanking.
00:31:06Marry Derek and fix this shit.
00:31:08First of all, don't call my husband a loser.
00:31:11Second of all, your daughter is screwing Derek.
00:31:14So if you think that I'm going to marry him, you're delusional.
00:31:18And lastly, I will fix this.
00:31:20Without the help of that fucking cheater or any of you leeches.
00:31:23If you don't divorce that loser, don't ever come back.
00:31:26You are no daughter of mine.
00:31:30Fine.
00:31:32I won't.
00:31:34You were a horrible husband to mother, so it really doesn't surprise me of how shitty of a dad you are.
00:31:40The three of you are a family and I'm just your cash cow.
00:31:43That ends today.
00:31:44Today.
00:31:55Do you want to have a drink with me?
00:31:59Whoa.
00:32:00Having a party, huh?
00:32:02I'm sorry.
00:32:03I was just to settle it in.
00:32:04I didn't know you were coming.
00:32:06Yeah, I should probably settle in myself.
00:32:09Wait, really?
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11I just cut ties with my family, so cheers.
00:32:15Wanna talk about it?
00:32:18What's there to talk about?
00:32:23Sophie.
00:32:26You don't have to smile all the time.
00:32:28You can be a shoulder to cry on, too.
00:32:37Oh, slow down. Slow down.
00:32:39Come here.
00:32:42Oh, you're lame.
00:32:43Give me.
00:32:44I don't know.
00:32:45I think you've had enough.
00:32:55Sophie?
00:32:57Sophie?
00:32:58Fuck.
00:32:59Let's get you some rest.
00:33:00Come on.
00:33:01Justin.
00:33:02Oh my god.
00:33:03Justin, time.
00:33:04I made you coffee.
00:33:05What's up?
00:33:06Lake Enterprise just called me and they want to sign a long-term contract with us. This is everything that I needed. So I'm actually going to go meet them at Lake Enterprise right now.
00:33:25Perfect.
00:33:26I'll wait for you at the office.
00:33:28No, no, no.
00:33:29You're coming with me.
00:33:30You're coming with me.
00:33:40Okay, Justin. Come this way with me.
00:33:43This is paper and leave me.
00:33:45I can January.
00:33:46You're coming to the office and open the hall for you now.
00:33:47I want to take this.
00:33:48Bye.
00:33:49Tick to be awesome.
00:33:50Hi,ので, now we need you.
00:33:52We need you.
00:33:53Many great guests with me.
00:33:54We'll try and help you to pick up with me and that's what we can.
00:33:58Take on ourо, Mike.
00:33:59If you keep walking, go ahead and bend down.
00:34:00Está over there.
00:34:01Buesn girls.
00:34:02D Gotta.
00:34:03What's the fanciest restaurant you can think of?
00:34:24Oh, Olive Garden.
00:34:26And what are you doing here?
00:34:34That's none of your concern.
00:34:36Mr. Lake!
00:34:38Mr. Lake is not available at the moment, but you can have a seat and wait for him, sir.
00:34:42I know what you're up to.
00:34:45Forget it.
00:34:47Mr. Lake and I already struck up a deal.
00:34:49Oh, you know Mr. Lake?
00:34:55You know Mr. Lake?
00:34:56Of course.
00:34:58We're...
00:35:00Well...
00:35:02Why should I tell you?
00:35:03Oh, come on.
00:35:04You can say it.
00:35:06I don't want to.
00:35:10Mr. Brown, this way, please.
00:35:25I can't wait to work with you.
00:35:30That makes two of us.
00:35:32Bathroom.
00:35:34Be right back.
00:35:38Still waiting?
00:35:51Um, Mr. Lake and I actually had a nice chat earlier.
00:35:56Really?
00:35:57Where is he now?
00:35:59Uh, he went to grab a bite.
00:36:01And he didn't invite you.
00:36:02I'm...
00:36:03not hungry.
00:36:04Well, best of luck to you.
00:36:06Cheers.
00:36:07I did not expect this project to go so smoothly.
00:36:13Mmm.
00:36:14What do you want, Derek?
00:36:15I know you got that contract, but trust me, I won't let you win forever.
00:36:18Just...
00:36:19You...
00:36:20Wait.
00:36:21You know what you sound like?
00:36:22A loser.
00:36:23I know you got that contract, but trust me, I won't let you win forever.
00:36:43Just...
00:36:44You...
00:36:45Wait.
00:36:46You know what you sound like?
00:36:47A loser.
00:36:48Did this bitch just hang up on me?
00:36:53What do you want?
00:36:56Forget Derek.
00:36:58Yeah, I don't want to talk about your ex.
00:37:01Uh-uh.
00:37:02Let's talk about us.
00:37:03What's her to talk about?
00:37:05No talking.
00:37:06More doing.
00:37:13You're really talented.
00:37:20Why did you...
00:37:21Maybe I shouldn't ask too much about his past?
00:37:24Here.
00:37:25Never mind.
00:37:26Okay, so you want this portion elevated right here?
00:37:28Yes.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:30Sophie.
00:37:31You haven't been home lately.
00:37:33Where have you been?
00:37:34I thought you made it clear I'm no daughter of yours.
00:37:37You're such a brat.
00:37:39This, the man you married.
00:37:42Nice to see him.
00:37:44Save it.
00:37:45Sophie, I'm gonna tell you one last time.
00:37:50Divorce him at once if you want to save the company.
00:37:53Let me tell you one last time.
00:37:55I am never ever marrying Derek.
00:37:58I would rather die than marry that asshole.
00:38:05Come on, Justin.
00:38:06Let's go.
00:38:07And we just signed the contract with Lake Enterprise.
00:38:12I can save the company without Derek.
00:38:15You won't meet the fire safety protocols on the Maple Plaza project.
00:38:32I made sure of that.
00:38:34You're screwed.
00:38:36You're screwed.
00:38:37Ah, you prick.
00:38:38Beg me.
00:38:39And I might consider letting you off.
00:38:46I can help with that.
00:38:49How?
00:38:51Just wait and see.
00:39:07Hey, Ted.
00:39:08I'm in trouble.
00:39:09Hey.
00:39:10Hey.
00:39:11Hey.
00:39:12Well, make yourself at home.
00:39:13What happened?
00:39:14Let me hear it.
00:39:15Well, basically, Derek screwed me.
00:39:16I couldn't meet the fire safety protocols.
00:39:18All right.
00:39:19Let me text my guy.
00:39:20I got you.
00:39:21Counting on you, Teddy Bear.
00:39:22I got you, Sophie Bear.
00:39:23I got you, Sophie Bear.
00:39:24Hello?
00:39:25Hi, Ms. Swift.
00:39:26It's Patrick Brown.
00:39:27We sorted out the fire safety issue.
00:39:29That's fantastic.
00:39:33I want to hear you.
00:39:34I want to hear you.
00:39:35Make yourself at home.
00:39:36What happened?
00:39:37Let me hear it.
00:39:38Well, basically, Derek screwed me.
00:39:39I couldn't meet the fire safety protocols.
00:39:42All right.
00:39:43Let me text my guy.
00:39:45I got you.
00:39:46Counting on you, Teddy Bear.
00:39:48I got you, Sophie Bear.
00:39:49Hello?
00:39:50Hi, Ms. Swift.
00:39:51I'm sure our partnership will be a resounding success.
00:39:55Absolutely.
00:40:02Thank you, Teddy Bear. The issue has been sorted.
00:40:05Already? I just texted my guy like two seconds ago.
00:40:08I guess they work fast.
00:40:10God, thank you.
00:40:12I guess so.
00:40:14Wow.
00:40:17Is that too quick a fix? Is that a bad thing?
00:40:21Yeah.
00:40:37Look, I told you I could help you with the...
00:40:42What the hell are you doing here?
00:40:48What the hell are you doing here?
00:40:49I invited him. He's been a huge help.
00:40:53Could you maybe dress a little bit more appropriate when we have male guests over?
00:40:58Guest? He's my best friend. We've known each other longer than me and you.
00:41:04Anyway, I have good news. The whole fire safety issue, resolved.
00:41:09I know.
00:41:10You know?
00:41:11Well, Ted fixed it just with one call and it's all sorted.
00:41:16What? I'm the one who fixed it.
00:41:19Okay, hold on.
00:41:22Now I'm totally confused.
00:41:24Confused? You're doing this on purpose.
00:41:26Justin, why are you being so rude today?
00:41:28What is his problem?
00:41:31What is his problem?
00:41:37Patrick, why didn't you pick up on a call last night?
00:41:43Look into Ted Bass for me.
00:41:45There you are. I've been looking for you.
00:41:49What can I do for your boss wife?
00:41:51Well, you've been acting kind of strange since last night. I just wanted to see if you were okay.
00:41:56Sophie, the thing is...
00:41:59Mrs. Green? What's wrong?
00:42:02Miss, your mother's emerald necklace. It's been stolen.
00:42:05I was cleaning your mother's old room today and I couldn't find it. I couldn't find it anywhere.
00:42:09What? I'll be right there.
00:42:12I thought you weren't coming back here. How did you get in?
00:42:17I thought you weren't coming back here. How did you get in?
00:42:21Did you let her in?
00:42:31This house was paid for by my mother. I can return whenever I want.
00:42:35Where is my mother's emerald necklace?
00:42:38You mean my emerald necklace?
00:42:41I told you not to touch her stuff.
00:42:43Just give it to her, Karen.
00:42:45I don't have it.
00:42:47She must have lost it herself and come back to frame me.
00:42:51Dad, you know the truth. Mom's stuff was in her room. I have never touched it once.
00:42:57But I'm gonna ask one more time. Where is my mother's necklace?
00:43:02Fine. I sold it at an auction.
00:43:06If you want it, you can buy it back yourself.
00:43:11Fuck you.
00:43:12Sir, according to my investigation, Karen sold the emerald necklace last month.
00:43:23It was the heirloom of Miss Sophie's late mother.
00:43:25Seems like they haven't learned their lesson. Let's head at the auction.
00:43:29It's time I reveal my true identity.
00:43:30I need for you to help me secure that necklace. I'm gonna rub it in her face.
00:43:40Anything for you, babe. You can count on me.
00:43:42You can count on me.
00:43:44Oh, Sophie! You're here to bet on that emerald necklace, right?
00:43:49Poor thing. She's just wasting her time.
00:43:53And look at you. Got all dressed up, right? Your little boy toy with you.
00:43:58But in the end you'll leave with nothing but tears.
00:44:00You know, you two make the perfect couple.
00:44:03After all.
00:44:04Trash sticks with trash.
00:44:09Indeed. Trash does stick with trash.
00:44:20Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of tonight's collection, the exquisite emerald necklace.
00:44:27This one of a kind piece was designed by the renowned Madame Dusson.
00:44:31I'm gonna start the bidding at one million.
00:44:32One point one million.
00:44:35Two million.
00:44:37Two million. Are there any other bids?
00:44:39Two million going once?
00:44:41How do we borrow three million from Ted?
00:44:44Two point one million.
00:44:46Three million.
00:44:52Ten million.
00:44:54Ten million! Any more bids?
00:44:56Ten million going once?
00:44:58Are you out of your mind?
00:45:00I got this.
00:45:01Ten million going twice?
00:45:04Ten point one billion?
00:45:07Fifteen million?
00:45:08Fifteen million?
00:45:09Fifteen million.
00:45:10I have fifteen million.
00:45:12Fifteen million going once.
00:45:14Fifteen million going twice.
00:45:16Fifteen million sold.
00:45:19We don't have fifteen million.
00:45:21We're gonna face legal repercussions if we can't pay that.
00:45:24Why didn't you tell me this before?
00:45:26Hi, um, can we please retract our bid?
00:45:33Hi, um, can we please retract our bid?
00:45:36It's already paid.
00:45:38By who?
00:45:40Justin Lake.
00:45:42That Justin Lake?
00:45:44Yes, miss.
00:45:45It's yours now.
00:45:49It's yours now.
00:45:58Smile.
00:45:59Hold your head up high.
00:46:00Let's make a bang of nice.
00:46:13All set?
00:46:15By the way, where did you get fifteen million?
00:46:18You didn't sell yourself, did you?
00:46:20Should I be flattered?
00:46:21Justin, just tell me.
00:46:22Seriously.
00:46:24Why don't you let me show you?
00:46:32What is going on?
00:46:34Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?
00:46:36Moments away now.
00:46:38Come on.
00:46:39Okay.
00:46:40You're so dramatic.
00:46:44Okay.
00:46:45Take it off.
00:46:47What is this?
00:46:51Where are we?
00:46:52Come with me.
00:46:54I'll give you the tour.
00:46:55Okay.
00:46:59Welcome back, Mr. Lake.
00:47:03Señorita.
00:47:06Mr. Lake.
00:47:08So you live here?
00:47:09Here and a couple other places,
00:47:11depending on the season.
00:47:13But this place is extra special.
00:47:14The garden is gorgeous.
00:47:17Dad and I designed it together.
00:47:19And my man Al here has been with us for thirty years.
00:47:25Wait, I spent fifteen million buying your home
00:47:28and then gave it to you.
00:47:30Oh, yeah.
00:47:32Are you THE Justin Lake?
00:47:37Are you THE Justin Lake?
00:47:40That's right.
00:47:42Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:43Well, I did.
00:47:44But you didn't want to believe me.
00:47:45No.
00:47:46You could have told me formally.
00:47:49Well, allow me to formally introduce myself.
00:47:51God.
00:47:52Stop.
00:47:57When the Heir to the Lake family reveals his true identity,
00:48:00it tends to stir up drama and chaos.
00:48:03I didn't want that.
00:48:04So I decided to keep my identity a secret.
00:48:07I hope you can forgive me.
00:48:08My head is just spinning a little bit, so...
00:48:12Let me fix that.
00:48:16You know what?
00:48:17I want the house back.
00:48:19I want the money back.
00:48:20I want everything back.
00:48:22Well, I'm your husband, so everything I have is yours.
00:48:25Well, that's more like it.
00:48:27What's that?
00:48:28Let me show you.
00:48:31Okay.
00:48:34Did you paint this?
00:48:36I painted it back in college.
00:48:38And it was exhibited just once at my graduation ceremony.
00:48:41Wait.
00:48:42Why does this painting look so much like the one Stella submitted for the Monet Award?
00:48:45Oh, thank you for taking my phone.
00:48:51Oh, it's Stella.
00:48:52I need a minute, please.
00:48:58Hey Stella, what's up?
00:49:00Meet me at the cafe on 3rd.
00:49:02Perfect timing.
00:49:03I was just about to call you anyways.
00:49:15What do you want?
00:49:20Why the rush?
00:49:21Have a drink first.
00:49:25What do you want?
00:49:26Why the rush?
00:49:27Have a drink first.
00:49:34Go on.
00:49:37You said you wanted to see me.
00:49:38You first.
00:49:39Yeah, I saw your submission for the Monet Prize.
00:49:42Did you really paint it?
00:49:43Of course I did.
00:49:45What are you suggesting?
00:49:46You're still lying.
00:49:48But I know the truth.
00:49:57Got you, bitch.
00:49:58Sophie.
00:50:12Sophie.
00:50:15Sophie.
00:50:16Baby, wake up.
00:50:18Sophie.
00:50:19Hey, hey.
00:50:20It's me.
00:50:21It's me.
00:50:22It's Ted.
00:50:23Can you hear me?
00:50:24Can you see me?
00:50:25Let's get you out of here.
00:50:26Come on.
00:50:27Can you walk?
00:50:31Are you okay?
00:50:32Can you see?
00:50:33Can you open your eyes?
00:50:35What happened?
00:50:37Okay.
00:50:38Hey.
00:50:39Let's go.
00:50:45I'm not sure if I trust you too much, but...
00:50:48Ms. Swift is in trouble.
00:50:49Check the headline news.
00:50:50It can't be contained.
00:50:51Sophie Swift was caught publicly intoxicated looking like a complete whore.
00:50:56She was seen with an incredibly attractive man.
00:50:58I sure hope her husband is on social media to see this.
00:51:09What are you doing?
00:51:10Are you out of your mind?
00:51:12She's sleeping.
00:51:13Let's talk outside.
00:51:14You leave her alone.
00:51:15That's my wife.
00:51:16If you're even willing to entertain the rumor that she cheated on you, then you don't deserve
00:51:28her at all.
00:51:29Listen.
00:51:30I know you and Sophie were set up.
00:51:32That's why we're still here talking.
00:51:34What's your relationship with my wife?
00:51:36She's my best friend.
00:51:37I've known her a lot longer than you.
00:51:40Your best friend?
00:51:41Have you seen the news?
00:51:43Her reputation is completely damaged because of you.
00:51:45Look.
00:51:46I'll take care of it.
00:51:47Alright?
00:51:48How?
00:51:49Because from my point of view, the best thing you can do is stay away from her.
00:51:53You're up.
00:52:06Why are you sleeping here?
00:52:08The doctor suggested you get some rest.
00:52:11I thought it was all a dream.
00:52:14You remember now.
00:52:16Tell me what happened.
00:52:21Where's Ted?
00:52:24He left?
00:52:26You were out cold all night.
00:52:28Did you expect him to stay over?
00:52:30I need to call him.
00:52:32I'll put it on speaker.
00:52:35Hey Ted, it's Sophie.
00:52:38Sophie.
00:52:39How you feeling?
00:52:40I've already dispelled the trending headline about us.
00:52:43Trending headline?
00:52:44Why are you talking to my wife?
00:52:48Stop calling and sounding so husky.
00:52:51Okay.
00:52:52First of all, I am the one that called him.
00:52:55What are you, a little jealous?
00:52:57First of all, I am the one that called him.
00:53:02What are you, a little jealous?
00:53:05No.
00:53:06Tell me what happened.
00:53:11Stella called me last night and I just so happened to have something to ask her as well.
00:53:17So I decided to meet her.
00:53:18I just didn't think that she would spike my drink.
00:53:21I'm calling the police and I'm getting my PI on it too.
00:53:23Okay.
00:53:24Stop, Justin.
00:53:25No.
00:53:26Why?
00:53:27You got hurt, Sophie.
00:53:28I know, but there's one more thing I need to find out from Stella.
00:53:33It's about my mom's death, okay?
00:53:36I never suspected that she died from suicide.
00:53:39And I think her death has something to do with Stella and her mom.
00:53:43Did the police determine your mother's death was suicide?
00:53:46Yeah.
00:53:47And unless more evidence is brought forward, the police, they're not going to reopen the investigation.
00:53:52But don't worry, I can handle this, okay?
00:53:54I will help you.
00:53:55Here, but I need you to take care of yourself and get some rest.
00:53:58Alright?
00:53:59Mhm.
00:54:08Thank you everyone for gathering here today to celebrate our friend,
00:54:12the Monet Award winner 2024, Stella Swift.
00:54:26This is such an honor.
00:54:28I did want to take a moment to congratulate my sister, Sophie Swift.
00:54:33She also took part in this competition, but if I'm not mistaken, you got third place, right?
00:54:38And I'm the winner.
00:54:41Well, come on, Sophie. Today's my big day. Have a drink with me.
00:54:46Stop pretending, Stella.
00:54:51You can't hide what you did to my mom, but I can give you a chance to tell me the truth.
00:54:56Everyone knows your mom killed herself. How could it be related to me?
00:55:01If you really think it was me, show me the evidence then.
00:55:04How dare you?
00:55:05Justin.
00:55:06Everything okay here, Miss Stella?
00:55:07Yes. I was just talking to my sister. I just wanted to apologize for what happened at the coffee shop. I received a business call and had to leave early that day. I had no idea that Sophie would do such a thing and such a scandalous act to make headline news.
00:55:09Oh.
00:55:10Oh.
00:55:11Oh.
00:55:12Oh.
00:55:13Oh.
00:55:14Oh.
00:55:15Oh.
00:55:16Oh.
00:55:17Oh.
00:55:18Oh.
00:55:19Oh.
00:55:20Oh.
00:55:21Oh.
00:55:22Oh.
00:55:23Oh.
00:55:24Oh.
00:55:25Oh.
00:55:26Oh, oh.
00:55:27I trust my wife. And the clarification announcement has already gone out to all major media outlets.
00:55:36I trust my wife, and the clarification announcement has already gone out to all major media outlets.
00:55:46I'd like to remind you that if anybody wants to play dirty tricks behind our back, you will get what's coming for you.
00:55:55Now, for the artwork and the painting that you were awarded for, by chance was the inspiration drawn from the University of Paris' graduation ceremony.
00:56:05Five years ago.
00:56:08Mr. Lake, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:56:15Might I remind you who you're dealing with? The artwork that you were awarded for? It's mine.
00:56:24The artwork that you were awarded for? It's mine.
00:56:29You copied it.
00:56:31Also, I know it was you that set up my wife at the coffee shop.
00:56:34I will not stop until I get justice. Especially if it's her mother. Do you understand?
00:56:48Let's go enjoy the reception, everyone!
00:56:51How about that artwork?
00:56:55Justin, what did you say to Stella?
00:56:59What? Is my wife jealous?
00:57:01Quit messing around.
00:57:03Okay, I heard that you mentioned the graduation exhibition at the University of Paris five years ago.
00:57:07I thought it was just a good opportunity to remind her about a lesson she might have forgot after graduation.
00:57:13And what's that?
00:57:14And what's that?
00:57:15Copycats don't have nine lives.
00:57:16Justin.
00:57:17What?
00:57:18Justin.
00:57:19What?
00:57:20Justin.
00:57:21What?
00:57:22Justin.
00:57:23What?
00:57:24I don't know, I just, I see you differently now.
00:57:26What happened?
00:57:27Well, you are more handsome.
00:57:29You know, sexy.
00:57:31And adorable.
00:57:32Mm-hmm.
00:57:33Adorable.
00:57:34Mm-hmm.
00:57:35Adorable.
00:57:36Mm-hmm.
00:57:37About manly.
00:57:38Mm-hmm.
00:57:39About more masculine.
00:57:40Mm-hmm.
00:57:41What?
00:57:42It's all about you, Sophie.
00:57:44I just want to protect you.
00:57:46You shouldn't put yourself in danger of being a black man.
00:57:47You should not only be a black man, your white man, you should not be a white man.
00:57:51It's all about you, Sophie.
00:58:05I just want to protect you.
00:58:09You should not put yourself in danger, but.
00:58:10You shouldn't put yourself in danger for me anymore.
00:58:12I know that's why you met with her that day, right?
00:58:15How did you know that?
00:58:17Because you're my wife.
00:58:18And I'd like to know everything about you.
00:58:23It's my job to protect you.
00:58:26I just want to keep you safe, okay?
00:58:29Okay.
00:58:38Kendall?
00:58:39Sophie, wake up.
00:58:40Mr. Cooper and your father were conspiring in the office this morning,
00:58:43planning to remove you from your position.
00:58:45You need to come back soon.
00:58:49You need to get back soon.
00:58:52What?
00:58:53It's urgent.
00:58:54You need to come back to the company so we can discuss the next step, Sophie.
00:58:58You know what? Send me everything that you've collected on Mr. Cooper,
00:59:01and I'll be right there, okay?
00:59:03Morning.
00:59:05Oh, hi.
00:59:06Coffee.
00:59:08Two cream, one sugar, just like you like it.
00:59:12I love it.
00:59:14That's it?
00:59:21Is there something you want to tell me?
00:59:22Justin, I'm...
00:59:26Sophie, whatever it is, just say it.
00:59:30I'll deal with it.
00:59:31I know.
00:59:32But I have to get changed, so I'm going to talk to you later, okay?
00:59:36Patrick, keep an eye on Swift Enterprise for me.
00:59:49Let me know if anything happens.
00:59:51Sophie, two things, good news or bad news first.
00:59:58Give me the good news first.
00:59:59So, I investigated Mr. Cooper as you requested, and out of his female subordinates, two were
01:00:05promoted and eight resigned voluntarily.
01:00:09So, I did some digging.
01:00:10I found out, through gossip, that he was engaged in sexual misconduct with female subordinates.
01:00:18Well done.
01:00:19He is such a dickwad tool.
01:00:21Have you found any evidence?
01:00:22That was the bad news I was going to tell you.
01:00:24You know what? Contact those female subordinates and urge them to report to the police, and provide
01:00:28them with any legal counsel, and cover all the fees.
01:00:31I already did it.
01:00:32Kendall, you are awesome. Okay, let's go.
01:00:38Wait, Sophie, one more thing. That bitch Stella and her mother are here. Things are progressing
01:00:43a little bit faster than we expected. They're waiting in the conference room for us right
01:00:47now. So, just in case, I prepared the documents you may need.
01:00:52Okay.
01:00:53It's just funny. They can't wait to kick me out.
01:00:59Okay. Time for a counterattack.
01:01:04For the past two years, Swift Enterprise's financial statements have been a mess, and our market share
01:01:21has rapidly declined. Can someone explain the reason?
01:01:24What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to blame and oust your father and sister from
01:01:29this company?
01:01:30Mr. Cooper, you are the vice president, but I didn't think that you lacked even the
01:01:35most basic professional manners. You always mix business with personal matters. But what
01:01:40I just mentioned is a business matter.
01:01:43You little bitch! Now that you've become the CEO, you dare to be so arrogant towards Mr.
01:01:49Cooper? He's a veteran of the company!
01:01:52I was just as assertive during my first board meeting, so what's the problem now? Pardon me.
01:01:57Who are you?
01:01:58Who are you? Do you own shares in the company? Because if you don't, you don't belong here.
01:02:03So leave. Now.
01:02:05You! How dare you! Mom, are you okay?
01:02:10Security.
01:02:12Don't touch me! Don't touch me! I can walk myself.
01:02:29Sophie, how can you treat my mom like this?
01:02:31This is a board meeting, not a parent-teacher conference. You did properly graduate high
01:02:36school, didn't you? Very well. Let's see how long you last here. Oh, oops. Wait. You must've
01:02:46forgotten. The board decides who's CEO. Have a try then.
01:02:53I formally proposed the removal of Sophie as CEO of Swift Enterprises.
01:03:02Free. Free.
01:03:04I'm Sheriff Valor Ryder. I'm looking for Robert Cooper.
01:03:24Sheriff, that's Robert Cooper.
01:03:27You're under arrest on several sexual assault charges. Stand up for me, buddy. Come on. Come on. Stand up. There you go.
01:03:40And use his arms.
01:03:42It's a mistake, man. It's a mistake. It's a mistake.
01:03:46Mr. Landon, Mr. Hayes, what did you say just now?
01:03:57Right. We can go on to the next topic then.
01:04:00I've also found evidence of embezzlement within the company.
01:04:03And if she can admit to it voluntarily, I will consider it as her surrendering to the authorities.
01:04:08Stella, did you hear me? Well, why are you asking me?
01:04:15I've got nothing to do with this. Don't pin this on me.
01:04:19Kendall, get her out of here.
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22Enough. Your sister's still young. You're ruining her life. You're being malicious.
01:04:28All of you, out.
01:04:31I still have nothing to say.
01:04:41Drugging. Embezzlement. Either a charge could land you in prison.
01:04:46This is about your mom, isn't it? I did not kill her. It was not me.
01:04:51Then who did it?
01:04:53It was your mom, wasn't it? She had something to do with this.
01:04:57I'm gonna count to three and if you don't speak, I'm gonna take your case to the authorities.
01:05:02Just give me some time.
01:05:06I will get you the evidence.
01:05:08Good.
01:05:10I'll be waiting.
01:05:11I'll find justice for you, mom.
01:05:26It's okay. You can cry.
01:05:41My mom, Justin.
01:05:44I know. I know. You had a big day. You moving up?
01:05:49It was not?
01:05:50Yeah. It was a good day. I finally did it. And now I can make my mom proud.
01:05:58You did.
01:06:01Oh.
01:06:04Oh.
01:06:06Yeah, I didn't hear anything. I swear.
01:06:12Totally normal.
01:06:15Also, we should probably eat something. If you want.
01:06:20I know a really good French restaurant, actually. So...
01:06:29Oh. That was fast.
01:06:31Alright, let's go.
01:06:32What are we waiting for?
01:06:34Why is no one else here? Did you book the entire venue?
01:06:43Yeah, I guess I did.
01:06:54I'll be right back.
01:06:56Okay.
01:07:04What?
01:07:15Justin, what is going on here?
01:07:18Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:07:22I don't celebrate my birthday, though.
01:07:24I know.
01:07:28It's because your birthday coincides with your mother's death, right?
01:07:32Yes.
01:07:33These flowers are for her.
01:07:38These flowers are for her.
01:07:41It happened 20 years ago, right?
01:07:44I want her to know that you're not alone.
01:07:48I will always be by your side.
01:07:50I think she'd be happy in heaven knowing that.
01:07:55Thank you, Justin.
01:07:59Make a wish.
01:08:03Hey, Sophie.
01:08:04It's Ted.
01:08:05Hey, Ted.
01:08:20I am feeling better.
01:08:21Yes, I'm actually not home right now.
01:08:22I'm with Justin.
01:08:23Okay.
01:08:24Yeah, I understand.
01:08:25Okay.
01:08:26Bye.
01:08:27Why so happy?
01:08:28Nothing.
01:08:29Just enjoying the evening.
01:08:31Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:08:32Thank you. I am feeling better.
01:08:35Yes, I'm actually not home right now. I'm with Justin.
01:08:39Okay.
01:08:41Yeah, I understand.
01:08:42Okay. Bye.
01:08:48Why so happy?
01:08:51Nothing. Just enjoying the evening.
01:09:00Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:09:02You made your choice.
01:09:27Justin, wake up.
01:09:29Hey, wake up.
01:09:30What? What happened?
01:09:32I have to tell you something important.
01:09:34How important?
01:09:35Listen, the mornings are usually a really good time for us to share some intimacy.
01:09:39No.
01:09:42Aunt Susan is going to be here.
01:09:46Aunt Susan?
01:09:47Yeah, she's my mom's sister.
01:09:48She's basically the only real family that I have.
01:09:50She sounds lovely.
01:09:52And?
01:09:53Well, she's visiting, but she doesn't know that I'm married.
01:09:58Tell her when she arrives.
01:10:00That's the thing.
01:10:02Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of, like, Enterprise?
01:10:05Why?
01:10:05Why?
01:10:06Why?
01:10:07My Aunt Susan is angry at my father for how he treated my mother, and so she doesn't think
01:10:12that marrying rich will work well.
01:10:14Plus, she has heart issues, and I don't want to stress her out, so.
01:10:17Gotcha.
01:10:19I'll just be your stay-at-home husband.
01:10:21All right.
01:10:21You are going to love Aunt Susan.
01:10:28She's amazing.
01:10:29I'm so excited for you to meet her.
01:10:31Oh!
01:10:32Okay, she's here.
01:10:33We can do this.
01:10:34Do you remember what I told you?
01:10:36Smile.
01:10:37Yeah.
01:10:39You got it, boss wife.
01:10:40Okay.
01:10:41Okay.
01:10:44Hi!
01:10:44Aunt Susan!
01:10:46I missed you!
01:10:48Baby girl, I missed you so much, too!
01:10:50I just got done touring Europe and came right over after getting off the plane.
01:10:55Oh, my God.
01:10:57Wait.
01:10:58Uh, who's this?
01:11:00Hi, Aunt Susan.
01:11:01I'm Justin.
01:11:02But, yes, I forgot introductions.
01:11:04This is Justin, my husband.
01:11:09What?
01:11:12Husband?
01:11:13Sophie, you got married?
01:11:15Since when?
01:11:17This is a big deal.
01:11:18Why didn't you tell me?
01:11:19I was busy with the company business, and I wanted to surprise you.
01:11:24This is a big surprise.
01:11:32You have a good eye.
01:11:34He's handsome.
01:11:36And he looks like a nice guy.
01:11:38Very, very nice guy.
01:11:40Come on.
01:11:40Take a seat.
01:11:41So, Justin.
01:11:46May I know what you do for a living?
01:11:49Uh, uh, I...
01:11:53So, Justin.
01:12:00May I know what you do for a living?
01:12:03Uh, I...
01:12:05Um, I'm sorry.
01:12:08I just want to make sure you have enough time to spend with Sophie.
01:12:13She grew up alone for most of her childhood.
01:12:16Usually, I'm not that busy.
01:12:18Actually, I'd like to spend more time with Sophie if possible.
01:12:22Good.
01:12:22Hey.
01:12:24Auntie, I actually have a business call.
01:12:26So, I'm gonna...
01:12:27I'm gonna go.
01:12:27But you guys chat.
01:12:29Bye.
01:12:30Hmm.
01:12:30Hmm.
01:12:32Justin, I'm glad to see that you support Sophie in her career.
01:12:36She's a workaholic.
01:12:38And often forgets to take good care of herself.
01:12:40She's very hardworking.
01:12:41And actually, a really brilliant businesswoman.
01:12:44Are you accustomed to doing all of the laundry and cooking?
01:12:47Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of, like, Enterprise?
01:12:53Uh, yeah.
01:12:55Yeah.
01:12:56Well, it's almost dinner time.
01:12:58Do you normally make dinner for Sophie?
01:13:02Yeah.
01:13:03Yeah, I'm great at making food.
01:13:05Great.
01:13:06It's my lucky day.
01:13:07I can't wait to try.
01:13:08How about Sophie's favorite?
01:13:10Past Alfredo.
01:13:12Great.
01:13:13Yeah.
01:13:14Of course.
01:13:17Oh, my God, Justin.
01:13:26What are you cooking in here?
01:13:27It smells so good.
01:13:29He's making pasta Alfredo for you.
01:13:32Okay.
01:13:32You need to add salt.
01:13:34And you can't forget about that.
01:13:35Okay.
01:13:36Salt.
01:13:38You look a little unfamiliar with the kitchen.
01:13:42I'm very familiar with this kitchen.
01:13:44I'm in charge.
01:13:45I got this.
01:13:46Okay.
01:13:46No, uh, that is, um, that's sure.
01:13:50Something wrong?
01:13:52No, um, I just, I want to learn from Justin.
01:13:54He never shares any of his recipes with me.
01:13:57Justin, you shouldn't spoil Sophie so much.
01:14:01As capable she is, she needs to learn some basic life skills.
01:14:04Got it.
01:14:05Auntie Susan, why don't you share some of your travel stories with me?
01:14:08I have plenty.
01:14:10I have plenty.
01:14:11Where should I start?
01:14:14I'm Linda.
01:14:15Wait, what's this?
01:14:35Justin Lake, CEO of Lake Enterprises.
01:14:39Wow.
01:14:40Wait a minute.
01:14:41I'm sorry, I'm the one that got this idea.
01:14:47No, no, no.
01:14:49I'm responsible.
01:14:50It's all my fault.
01:14:51Really.
01:15:06Sophie, I watched you grow up without your mom.
01:15:10And after she passed, you rarely smiled.
01:15:15But today, you're different.
01:15:18You seem so much happier than before.
01:15:21And I believe a big part of it is because of this man.
01:15:24Before, I didn't want you to marry a wealthy man because the way your father drove your mother out of the house was a tragedy.
01:15:32I know, Auntie, but Justin is nothing like my dad.
01:15:36Well, I can see that in the smile on your face.
01:15:38And the way he treats you.
01:15:40He genuinely likes you.
01:15:42I can see that he's going to bring you happiness.
01:15:45Thank you, Auntie.
01:15:47And Justin?
01:15:48Sophia can be a bit stubborn at times, but she's a big softie inside.
01:15:54You treat her well.
01:15:56Auntie, I will love Sophia with all my heart.
01:15:59Mom, that bitch Sophie is trying to reopen the case on her mother's death.
01:16:11It's been five years already. She'll never find out.
01:16:14But Justin Lake, the CEO of Lake Enterprises, the most powerful and richest man in town,
01:16:19is freaking helping her with the investigation.
01:16:23Hmm.
01:16:25We should strike first then.
01:16:28Yes, we should.
01:16:38She's here.
01:16:41Turn off the cameras and follow the plan.
01:16:44Stop!
01:17:03Yeah?
01:17:04Boss, Miss Sophie's been abducted.
01:17:09Call my security detail and call the police.
01:17:12We need to rescue her.
01:17:13Tell me the address now.
01:17:21Oh, bitch!
01:17:26Sophie Swift.
01:17:29You have nowhere to run.
01:17:31No one will protect you now.
01:17:33Sign it.
01:17:42You won't get away with this.
01:17:44No one's gonna know once you're dead.
01:17:48Okay, I will sign it, but you have to answer me one question.
01:17:52Spit it out.
01:17:53Why did you kill my mom?
01:17:54Why did you kill my mom?
01:17:56Your mother's heart condition relapsed one day.
01:17:59I accidentally switched the medication.
01:18:01Who knew she was going to die.
01:18:02Oh, but you don't have to worry about missing her too much because I'm gonna send you to her very soon.
01:18:11You took her very soon.
01:18:13Stop!
01:18:14Justin, no!
01:18:15Stop!
01:18:16Justin, no!
01:18:22Justin, no!
01:18:25What's happening?
01:18:27I...
01:18:28I didn't do anything!
01:18:29Justin!
01:18:30No!
01:18:31Justin, are you okay?
01:18:32What?
01:18:33Stop!
01:18:34Stop!
01:18:35Don't leave me alone!
01:18:39Justin, you're bleeding!
01:18:42Oh, my God.
01:18:44Justin?
01:18:46Justin?
01:18:47Patrick, please help me take him to the hospital, please.
01:18:49Justin?
01:18:51Please stay awake, Justin.
01:18:52Please.
01:18:53Oh, God.
01:19:00Doctor said he'll be okay.
01:19:01You should go home and get some rest too.
01:19:03Yeah.
01:19:04Karen and Stella have been arrested.
01:19:06It's all over.
01:19:08We can relax now.
01:19:09No, I...
01:19:10I need to be here for him.
01:19:11I'm not going anywhere.
01:19:13You shouldn't be anywhere near him.
01:19:18I'm sorry, who are you?
01:19:19I'm Justin Lake's mother.
01:19:23Oh, Mrs. Lake, hi.
01:19:24I'm Sophie Swift.
01:19:25It's nice to meet you.
01:19:29I'm sorry about Justin.
01:19:35I normally don't interfere in my son's personal affairs.
01:19:39Not until I met you.
01:19:41You're nothing but trouble.
01:19:43What have I done to Justin?
01:19:44There must be some misunderstanding.
01:19:45Shh!
01:19:46Shh!
01:19:47Do not disturb my son's rest.
01:19:50Let's talk somewhere more private, hm?
01:19:57Now.
01:20:02Here.
01:20:05Ten million dollars.
01:20:07Leave my son.
01:20:12I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake, but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:20:16You may not be a gold digger, but trouble certainly follows you wherever you go.
01:20:21I will never accept you into the Lake family.
01:20:24Mrs. Lake, I don't need your money.
01:20:26Hey, please, I love Justin.
01:20:29Love?
01:20:31Oh, you stupid, stupid girl.
01:20:35Fine.
01:20:37You don't want money?
01:20:39I have another offer.
01:20:41One you cannot refuse.
01:20:48I know your Aunt Susan has heart issues.
01:20:51Only the top specialist in Paris can cure her, but he isn't taking any new patients.
01:21:07He happens to be my dear friend.
01:21:10I can help you, if you leave my son.
01:21:12If you leave my son.
01:21:13So who do you love more, Sophie?
01:21:16Susan or Justin?
01:21:21Kendall, what's wrong?
01:21:22Aunt Susan fainted.
01:21:23I just found out when I arrived at your house.
01:21:25What?
01:21:27I'll be right there.
01:21:28Don't move on, Susan, okay?
01:21:41Okay, perfect.
01:21:42Now, keep smiling, okay?
01:21:44Okay.
01:21:52Ms. Swift, Justin still doesn't want to sign the divorce papers.
01:21:56It's been three years and he still keeps asking where you are.
01:21:59Are you sure you want to avoid him for the rest of your life?
01:22:02Relax, he's not going to find us.
01:22:04His mom already set me up somewhere else, he's not going to track me.
01:22:07Besides, there's no chance between us, it's just a pipe dream.
01:22:10Fine.
01:22:11Take care of yourself and Auntie Susan.
01:22:14I miss you.
01:22:16I miss you too.
01:22:18Bye.
01:22:30Is this yours?
01:22:37Is this yours?
01:22:38Are you ignoring me or planning your escape again?
01:22:45Wife.
01:22:46How did you...
01:22:54What about your mom?
01:22:55Well, it's taken three years, but I finally convinced her.
01:22:58I told her that if I couldn't be with you, I wouldn't be with anybody else.
01:23:01I won't let anything come between us again.
01:23:03Do you remember?
01:23:05This is where we first met years ago.
01:23:07Years ago.
01:23:09I believe you offered an American man some money.
01:23:12He was just robbed and verbally assaulted by a French man.
01:23:18It's you.
01:23:20It's me.
01:23:22Your dearest husband.
01:23:23That's my girl.
01:23:25That's my girl.
01:23:29That's my girl.
01:23:30That's my girl.
01:23:31I love you too.
01:23:32Yeah.
01:23:33I love you too.
01:23:35I'm sorry, you went back.
01:23:37That's my girl.
01:23:38You told me.
01:23:40I love you too.
01:23:41I'll see you too.
01:23:43So, I'm sorry.
01:23:44You're梦 Bhide.
01:23:45That's my girl.
01:23:46You can't wait.
01:23:47I'll see you next time.
01:23:48It's my girl.
01:23:50Nothing more.
01:23:51They're out there.
01:23:52I'm sorry.
