Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm pregnant.
00:00:01You're going to be a father.
00:00:05What's she doing here?
00:00:07What do you think?
00:00:08No need to hide anymore.
00:00:10I'm leaving you.
00:00:11For Catherine.
00:00:13Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:15I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:17Catherine hired me to be vice president of her family's hospital.
00:00:20She's also way better in bed.
00:00:23What's that?
00:00:25She's pregnant?
00:00:26What?
00:00:28She must be faking it to trap you.
00:00:31No one's faking it.
00:00:32You're so desperate.
00:00:34Give it back! Stop!
00:00:35No, it's not.
00:00:36Give it back!
00:00:37Stop!
00:00:38Ah!
00:00:39Ah!
00:00:40Ah!
00:00:41Ah!
00:00:42Ah!
00:00:43Ah!
00:00:44Ah!
00:00:45Ah!
00:00:46Ah!
00:00:47Ah!
00:00:48Ah!
00:00:49Ah!
00:00:50Ah!
00:00:52Ah!
00:00:54Ah!
00:01:07Where am I?
00:01:10What happened?
00:01:12The baby.
00:01:13Is the baby okay?
00:01:18I'm so sorry.
00:01:21We've lost the baby.
00:01:24I'm so sorry.
00:01:31We're right here, sweetheart.
00:01:32We're right here.
00:01:42I won't let Bradley and that woman get away with this.
00:01:47I'm ready to come back, Dad.
00:01:49Mom, revenge won't heal the heart.
00:01:51This isn't about revenge.
00:01:52This is about holding them accountable.
00:01:54Are you sure you're ready for this?
00:01:56I've been preparing for years, Mom.
00:01:59Okay.
00:02:00But there is a condition.
00:02:07I have an important announcement.
00:02:09My daughter, Mia Gerber, will be the new CEO of Gerber Corporation.
00:02:13Is Mia ready for such a big role?
00:02:15I've been concealing my identity to go undercover within the industry.
00:02:19I've learned our competitors from the inside.
00:02:22Trust me.
00:02:24I'm more than ready.
00:02:27Furthermore, Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:34Mia will marry Joshua Lane from Lane Holdings.
00:02:40There is a condition.
00:02:41You're going to have to marry Joshua Lane, the heir of Lane Holdings.
00:02:46Mia's never even met this guy before.
00:02:48It's a strategic alliance, Noah.
00:02:53It's what's best for our families and the company.
00:02:56I'll do it.
00:03:00I'll marry Joshua Lane if that's what it takes.
00:03:04And this alliance will strengthen our company and secure our future.
00:03:18Isn't Joshua Lane famous for being called the Little Ruffles?
00:03:22That's what I heard.
00:03:23And I think it'll be good for the company.
00:03:25I don't think it'll be good for the new CEO.
00:03:48Joshua, I was hoping we could...
00:03:49Not interested. Get lost.
00:03:53Man, you are brutal.
00:03:55That's the fifth girl you've turned down tonight.
00:03:58Hey, I heard you're getting hitched to Mia Gerber.
00:04:00Why didn't you turn her down?
00:04:02This marriage is what my parents want.
00:04:03Couldn't care less about her.
00:04:05Oh, come on. She's the heiress to the Gerber Corporation.
00:04:07There must be some perks to her.
00:04:09Perks or not, she'll learn quickly that I'm not one to be messed with.
00:04:13Gonna give her a hard time, huh?
00:04:15Let's just say that she's got something coming.
00:04:23Do you, Joshua Lane, take Mia Gerber for your lawfully wedded wife?
00:04:35I do.
00:04:38And you, Mia Gerber, do you take Joshua Lane for your lawfully wedded husband?
00:04:43I do.
00:04:45Um, the rings?
00:04:53You may now kiss the bride.
00:05:07Let's get one thing straight, Mia.
00:05:09This marriage is a show for our family and the rest of the world.
00:05:13Don't expect any affection from me.
00:05:15Understood. And vice versa.
00:05:22Bye.
00:05:35My parents want to set up a dinner with us. My assistant will set it up.
00:05:39She can coordinate schedules with my assistant.
00:05:41Done.
00:05:52Joshua has always been so distant with people.
00:06:07Unlike Alex here, who's so popular and charismatic.
00:06:13You should see all the women I can't stop chasing.
00:06:16Well, at least I don't have to worry if Alex can give me a grandson.
00:06:21But I wonder, Joshua, if you can even warm up enough to give me a child.
00:06:27We need an heir after all.
00:06:29Eleanor, that's enough.
00:06:32I'm just saying, perhaps Alex is a better fit to lead Lane Hortons.
00:06:38Quite the contrary.
00:06:40Actually, Joshua's very passionate, especially in the bedroom.
00:06:45No doubt that you'll have that heir soon.
00:06:52For your information, passion is not in my DNA, nor does it align with my personal brand.
00:07:00But still, thank you for standing up for me.
00:07:05I just didn't appreciate your stepmom's attitude.
00:07:15Get the campaign ready.
00:07:16I want that jerk out ASAP.
00:07:22Noah, hey. I need a favor.
00:07:30You're right. Alex and Eleanor Lane are behind a smear campaign against Joshua.
00:07:35Blue Diamond PR is already involved.
00:07:38What agency are we using?
00:07:40We're still deciding. Bids are open for this year's contract.
00:07:44Perfect. I have a plan.
00:07:51I'm offering the Gerber Corporation's annual PR budget.
00:07:54It's one of the largest in the industry.
00:07:57That's an enticing offer, Miss Gerber.
00:08:00What do you ask of me in return?
00:08:02I need you to withdraw from any campaign against Joshua Lane.
00:08:06I don't mind, I'll cover the cancellation fee.
00:08:14You have a deal.
00:08:16The Gerber Corporation account is too good to pass up.
00:08:19There's a little more.
00:08:21I need you to spread the word.
00:08:23Any PR firm that goes against Joshua Lane will be blacklisted from the Gerber Corporation and our allies.
00:08:30You got it. No one in this industry would be stupid enough to fight against the Gerber Corporation.
00:08:37Wonderful.
00:08:39Looking forward to a fruitful partnership.
00:08:42I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you all.
00:08:46But don't worry, I've already taken care of it.
00:08:50I always knew Eleanor and Alex would be after my position.
00:08:53I just didn't expect Alex to be this bold.
00:08:56How do you know about this?
00:08:57Alex struck me as opportunistic.
00:08:59A smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholder's opinion.
00:09:03Eleanor's background in PR made this move possible.
00:09:05You're more perceptive than I thought.
00:09:08Why are you helping me?
00:09:12Our family's alliance is crucial.
00:09:14Protecting you means protecting the Gerber Corporation.
00:09:17It's all business.
00:09:21Business, right.
00:09:23Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:27I don't think so.
00:09:29I don't think so either.
00:09:31Well, in that case, I should help you with your beef with Katherine and Bradley, right?
00:09:37How did you know about that?
00:09:39You didn't expect me to enter into the marriage without doing background checks.
00:09:43I just don't get what the big deal about your ex is.
00:09:46I mean, he cheated on you.
00:09:48So what?
00:09:51She must be faking it to trap you.
00:09:56How dare you?
00:09:57You had no right to dig into my past like that.
00:10:01I can take care of myself.
00:10:06What just happened?
00:10:11To your new position as Senior VP.
00:10:16And it's all thanks to my help, of course.
00:10:19Absolutely. You're my lucky charm, honey.
00:10:20Imagine if I'd stayed with Mia.
00:10:22Poor and powerless. That's all she ever was.
00:10:25She's a joke.
00:10:27A stepping stone at best.
00:10:29With you by my side, we are unstoppable.
00:10:42Katherine's Hospital is closed.
00:10:44I'm sorry.
00:10:46Katherine's Hospital is resisting our acquisition.
00:10:49Bradley, as the new Senior VP, is leading the pushback.
00:10:53Do they know I'm the CEO yet?
00:10:55No, as per your request.
00:10:57Perfect. Keep at it.
00:11:03Now how do I pull this off?
00:11:16There are gaps in Mia's medical record right after her breakup.
00:11:20These are from the Gerber Corporation's own hospital.
00:11:23Only someone higher up from within can access it.
00:11:32I want to know what happened to Mia during that gap, after the breakup.
00:11:36Even if I know, why would I tell you?
00:11:38Mia helped me.
00:11:40But unless I understand that part of the puzzle,
00:11:43I won't be able to return her favor.
00:11:45Do you care for her?
00:11:48You don't dislike her?
00:11:50No. Mia deserves someone who truly loves her.
00:11:54Not you.
00:11:56She's a grown woman. She knows what she wants.
00:11:59Nobody gets to tell her what she deserves. Especially not you.
00:12:09You can choose not to share the information,
00:12:12but you won't be helping her.
00:12:15Your choice.
00:12:20Alright, look.
00:12:22If you have to know,
00:12:24unfortunately,
00:12:26Mia had a miscarriage
00:12:28because of an accident involving Bradley and Catherine.
00:12:46How are you...
00:12:48feeling?
00:12:50It's none of your business.
00:12:52Not that you would know what that means.
00:12:55I'm sorry for overstepping
00:12:57and being insensitive.
00:12:59I learned about your miscarriage.
00:13:01I had no idea.
00:13:03You didn't know?
00:13:05That doesn't excuse my behavior.
00:13:07I apologize.
00:13:09I may have overreacted.
00:13:11You were hurting.
00:13:12That's understandable.
00:13:14So you're not a robot,
00:13:16like everyone says you are?
00:13:18Of course I'm not.
00:13:20Who says that?
00:13:22Everyone.
00:13:24Your family, your friends, your co-workers, enemies.
00:13:27I even heard the maids joking about it the other day.
00:13:30Fire them all.
00:13:32No, no.
00:13:34It's okay.
00:13:36They're allowed to joke. They've been doing a wonderful job.
00:13:39Besides, I think you should
00:13:40talk like this.
00:13:42It suits you.
00:13:45It's not funny.
00:13:49It's late.
00:13:52I'm going to bed.
00:13:54Okay.
00:13:56Good night.
00:14:03Talk like this.
00:14:10Talk like this.
00:14:18Go ahead with the plan.
00:14:20Shorten the stock of Catherine's company.
00:14:22I want to see them bleed.
00:14:33Mia, you need to see this.
00:14:36The stock of Catherine's hospital has been shortened dramatically.
00:14:38They're on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:14:40Just a week? How is this possible?
00:14:42Seems like a coordinated attack.
00:14:44Someone powerful is behind this.
00:14:48Joshua.
00:14:55Did you short Catherine's stock?
00:14:57Yes, I did.
00:14:59Why?
00:15:01Strictly for business.
00:15:03To protect our family's alliances.
00:15:05Your enemies are my enemies now.
00:15:06Joshua.
00:15:08I just did what's necessary. Just like you would do.
00:15:10Now to pay a little visit to Bradley and Catherine.
00:15:20Bradley, what are we going to do?
00:15:22They're taking everything.
00:15:24I can't believe this is happening.
00:15:27As of now, this hospital is under Gerber Corporation's control.
00:15:31Yes, the Gerber Corporation.
00:15:33As in my family's company.
00:15:34When you said Gerber, I thought you were Mia Whitlock.
00:15:37Whitlock was just a name I used to conceal my identity.
00:15:40You betrayed and hurt my wife.
00:15:42Now you're facing the consequences.
00:15:44I've resigned. You can't touch me.
00:15:46Resignation or not, Bradley, your career is over.
00:15:49I've seen to it that everyone in this industry won't touch you after what you've done.
00:15:53Mia, you know that I never meant to hurt you.
00:15:58This hospital is all that I have left. Please.
00:16:01No.
00:16:02That day that I fell, you stood there and watched.
00:16:06You made your decision then.
00:16:08Mia, can we talk?
00:16:10I know I hurt you deeply. I just want to apologize.
00:16:12To make things right.
00:16:27Mia, I'm truly sorry about everything.
00:16:31I dreamt about you and the baby every day.
00:16:34I just couldn't bring myself to tell you this after the accident.
00:16:37Because I felt so ashamed of myself.
00:16:39Your apology can't undo what's been done, Bradley.
00:16:42I know. I just, I need you to know that I will always care about you. Deeply.
00:17:01You're really like they say. Tall. Handsome. Powerful.
00:17:14You know I can make you a very happy man.
00:17:20I do not engage with women who have no shame.
00:17:25Hands off me.
00:17:30Catherine manipulated me, but now I realize she's nothing compared to you.
00:17:35We could start over. With your family's resources, I could help you grow the business.
00:17:39We could be parents again. Give us a chance.
00:17:42You know, if I wasn't 100% sure before, I am now.
00:17:48You're a piece of human trash.
00:17:51You're right. I'm dirty. But think about all the good memories we have.
00:17:55Think about more to come.
00:17:57Let go. Bradley.
00:17:58I'm serious. Don't. Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:03Get the fuck out of here.
00:18:11I should have intervened before Bradley could touch you.
00:18:14It's fine, Joshua. Thank you for stepping in. Thank you for everything.
00:18:23Yeah, I followed through with all my business plans.
00:18:26Right. Yeah. The business plan.
00:18:30You know, you call me your wife for the first time.
00:18:33Don't look into it too much. Let's go.
00:18:37Actually, you know what?
00:18:40Now that all the revenge is done, I think I want to take some time alone to figure out my feelings.
00:18:48I understand.
00:18:49They've destroyed everything.
00:18:51We can't let them get away with this.
00:18:56What if we take Mia?
00:18:59A ransom would help us, but hurt Mia.
00:19:02Yes. Abducting Mia Gerber.
00:19:07Let's see how Joshua Lane reacts then.
00:19:10But how will we get to Mia?
00:19:12I know that she always goes to this one place.
00:19:14From what I know about her, she must be there right now.
00:19:44Help! Help!
00:20:14Hey! Hey! Help!
00:20:38Thought you could get rid of us, Mia?
00:20:41You and Joshua will regret ever crossing us.
00:20:46Don't bring him into this, you bitch!
00:21:04That's for talking back to me.
00:21:07Look at you. Just as pathetic as the day you fell.
00:21:12Of course I could have saved you, but why would I?
00:21:16You and your baby are worth nothing.
00:21:25Joshua Lane?
00:21:27Listen, we have Mia Gerber. You want her back? Get ready with a hefty ransom.
00:21:33I'll pay the ransom.
00:21:34But listen to me clearly.
00:21:36I will hunt you down and you'll wish you'd never crossed me.
00:21:46Based on the footage from Mia's car camera, it seems Bradley and Catherine are behind this.
00:21:52These are the possible locations where Mia could be.
00:21:56This one.
00:22:05Mia.
00:22:10I got you.
00:22:14Let's get you out of here.
00:22:34No!
00:22:57Joshua! Joshua! Stop!
00:22:59It's not worth it.
00:23:04It's not worth it.
00:23:05I've occupied my brain.
00:23:10I know that's not an excuse to forget about you, but I guess that's just life someday.
00:23:32Made you some soup.
00:23:40It's very unique. What is this?
00:23:45My mom's recipe. Before she passed away she used to make it for me when I was sick.
00:23:50Thought it might comfort you. Must have made it wrong.
00:23:54It's wonderful. I don't know how to thank you enough.
00:23:59It's nothing. I just did what I had to do.
00:24:02Joshua, is this still just a marriage of convenience for you?
00:24:09Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Lane. A guest has arrived. Her name is Susie Harper.
00:24:14Susie's back?
00:24:23Oh, I've missed you so much!
00:24:32Susie, it's been ages. When's the last time we saw each other?
00:24:38Four years ago, before I went abroad.
00:24:41It's been too long. Welcome back, Sus.
00:24:44I came back just for you.
00:24:50Susie, this is my wife, Mia. Mia, this is Susie, an old friend of mine.
00:24:57So, you're the one Joshua had to marry.
00:25:00No, Susie, that's enough.
00:25:03Joshua and I have a special bond, you know? We've been friends since like forever.
00:25:11He means a lot to me. I want him to be happy.
00:25:14I think we all want that.
00:25:16Do you? Joshua and I talk often over the phone.
00:25:20He confides in me. I'm one of the few he truly trusts.
00:25:25He mentioned he was quite unhappy about the marriage.
00:25:28Right. Well, it seems like you two have a lot to catch up on, so I'll leave you to it.
00:25:40Susie, why would you say those things? I told you I have doubts before the wedding, not since then.
00:25:47Joshua, you're clearly unhappy. I was just speaking up for you.
00:25:52I don't need you to look out for me.
00:25:53I'm sorry. I just was trying to help, since you clearly didn't want the marriage.
00:26:03I don't mind it, though.
00:26:05Do you like her?
00:26:07She's fine.
00:26:10This means I still have a chance.
00:26:13Joshua, if I had stayed by your side, you never would have had to marry a complete stranger like Mia Gerber.
00:26:21I'm sure it hasn't been pleasant. Now that I'm back, you can always talk to me.
00:26:28Susie, you're a great friend.
00:26:31Of course. I'll always be there for you.
00:26:41How's it going?
00:26:43It's this marriage. It's Joshua. He's like a shadow.
00:26:47He's always there, but never really close.
00:26:51You deserve someone who can give you all the love and appreciation you need.
00:26:55Remember, if you ever need anything, I'm here.
00:27:00Thank you, Noah.
00:27:03How could I live without you?
00:27:08I can't live without you.
00:27:18I can't live without you.
00:27:33How could I live without you?
00:27:37I'd do everything to protect you, Mia.
00:27:48Joshua!
00:27:52We can't be like this forever. We have to talk.
00:27:57Why don't you talk to Noah? Seems like you have plenty to say to him.
00:28:01I don't even know what that means. There's nothing between Noah and me.
00:28:05You and Susie, on the other hand.
00:28:07What?
00:28:09Whatever you think, I don't care.
00:28:11What's he doing here?
00:28:15Look, I'm here to deliver some documents to Mia.
00:28:26I'm sorry.
00:28:28I'm sorry.
00:28:30I'm sorry.
00:28:32I'm sorry.
00:28:34I'm sorry.
00:28:36I'm sorry.
00:28:38I'm sorry.
00:28:40I'm sorry.
00:28:45And if you ever hurt her, just know that I will protect her at all costs.
00:28:50And what exactly have you done to protect her?
00:28:53Seems like all talk but no action.
00:28:55What are you two doing?
00:28:59What's going on here? Joshua, why are you acting so aggressive?
00:29:02This is ridiculous! You invite him into our house just to talk to him?
00:29:05I didn't invite... Joshua!
00:29:06Joshua!
00:29:08I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to cause any rift between you two. It wasn't my intention.
00:29:12It's fine. Why are you here?
00:29:14I'm here to protect you and the company.
00:29:17I suspect that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare.
00:29:23Is that Dwayne?
00:29:25And the CEO of Melody Healthcare.
00:29:32This plan is our game changer.
00:29:33What about Melody Healthcare? They're our biggest rival.
00:29:36They're going in a completely different direction. We're way ahead of them.
00:29:40And how do you know that?
00:29:42The CEO approached me the other day.
00:29:45He tried to get some information from me but I flipped it and got some information from him.
00:29:49Like I'd betray my own company. He'd be a fool to think that.
00:29:52Right. Of course, Dwayne.
00:29:55Let's go ahead with the plan.
00:29:57See? He's fine.
00:30:00I don't know. There's something strange about him.
00:30:03I can't put my finger on it, but...
00:30:05Just keep your eyes open, okay?
00:30:07I will.
00:30:11Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:16Let's go ahead and move forward.
00:30:18Okay.
00:30:20I'm sorry, Dwayne.
00:30:21Mia suspected, but I made her trust me now.
00:30:25Let's go ahead and move forward with the plan.
00:30:28Excellent.
00:30:30Once we execute the strategy, the Gerbers will be blindsided.
00:30:34Melody Healthcare will be the number one.
00:30:37Mia Gerber will be out of the company and I'll be the number one.
00:30:49How did they get ahead of us?
00:30:51This was our strategy. Where's Dwayne?
00:30:54He's outside.
00:31:07Melody Healthcare just announced their new AI-generated online psychiatric care.
00:31:12The similarity of the details to ours is uncanny.
00:31:18I don't know.
00:31:19We kept everything under wraps.
00:31:22They must have developed this independently.
00:31:25Mia, you're just too young.
00:31:28You're not experienced enough in this business world.
00:31:30This stuff happens.
00:31:32I'm experienced enough to know that this is not a coincidence.
00:31:36And I don't need you to tell me what I do and do not know.
00:31:39You can leave.
00:31:50Why do you look so sullen all the time?
00:31:53Doesn't look good on you.
00:31:56Wow.
00:31:58Thanks for the comfort.
00:32:03Damn it. Why did I have to say that like that?
00:32:09Ms. Gerber, an emergency board meeting has been called.
00:32:13What?
00:32:20We need to talk about the leadership of this company.
00:32:24It is clear that Mia's recent decisions, well, they've been questionable.
00:32:33Acquiring Catherine Phinney's hospital was a big misstep.
00:32:38Now Melody's Healthcare is outpacing us.
00:32:41Mia, I'm sorry, but you're too young and inexperienced to be in this role.
00:32:46I believe under my leadership, our profits have already increased by 20% compared to last year.
00:32:53That's due to the overall market trend.
00:32:56Not because your leadership.
00:32:59My strategies have been more than effective.
00:33:02The Finley acquisition has potential long-term benefits.
00:33:05And our growth, by the way, is not just a fluke.
00:33:09This company, this board needs a leader with experience and vision.
00:33:14Not someone learning on a job.
00:33:16As a senior VP, on behalf of all the employees with Gerber Corporation, we support Mia.
00:33:22I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:29I also have evidence that Dwayne Kaiser has been conspiring with Melody Healthcare to undermine the company.
00:33:37What is this? What are you doing?
00:33:40These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:42These are communications between Dwayne and Melody Healthcare.
00:33:45He leaked our strategy.
00:33:50You're fired, Dwayne. Effective immediately.
00:33:53I've been with you since you founded the company.
00:33:55All these years, I've never been CEO, but you give it to your daughter?
00:33:58I've always known you were ambitious, but I never thought you would stoop this low.
00:34:03Your lack of trustworthiness is why you were never CEO.
00:34:07We built this company on integrity and trust.
00:34:09Values you clearly lack.
00:34:13Security, escort Mr. Kaiser out.
00:34:16Wait.
00:34:28Mia, we're so proud of you.
00:34:30You really handled the crisis well.
00:34:34You truly are a Gerber.
00:34:40Noah, I can't thank you enough.
00:34:43Of course. You know I'd do anything for you.
00:34:46You know, I never asked, but how did you get your hands on those documents?
00:34:51It all started with an anonymous tip.
00:34:54Someone delivered photos of Dwayne meeting with the owner of Melody Healthcare, and I intercepted the tip.
00:35:01This is your schedule for the week.
00:35:04And what's this?
00:35:06Seems to be about Mr. Kaiser.
00:35:07Okay, I'll take that too. Thanks.
00:35:19Anonymous. Who would do that?
00:35:22I don't know. But the photos led me to dig deeper, and eventually I found clear evidence of his betrayal.
00:35:30Can I see the photos?
00:35:38I think I might know who's behind this, but I need to confirm.
00:35:47Ethan, I need to talk to you about these photos.
00:35:50Is this you? In the reflection? Were you following Dwayne?
00:35:54Yeah, it's me. Joshua asked me to keep an eye on Dwayne.
00:35:58He's had his suspicions about Dwayne's loyalty for a while.
00:36:01We then delivered the photos.
00:36:03Mr. Lane, what a surprise.
00:36:08Should I tell Ms. Lane you're here?
00:36:10No need to.
00:36:14Why couldn't Joshua just tell me about his suspicions?
00:36:18Joshua's a... he's a complicated man. He means well, but he struggles with expressing himself.
00:36:25He's never gone through such steps for anyone before Mia. This must mean he cares about you.
00:36:30He could just talk to me next time.
00:36:33Well, Joshua has his ways. He might not show it, but he cares deeply.
00:36:38I just ask that you... don't hurt him.
00:36:43I won't.
00:36:45You're a loyal friend, Ethan.
00:36:55Joshua, I need to talk to you. It's about Dwayne Kaiser and Melody Healthcare.
00:37:00What about it?
00:37:02I know you sent Ethan to follow Dwayne. Why didn't you just talk to me?
00:37:06It just seemed like the best course of action at the time.
00:37:09Joshua, is there more to this marriage than the alliance? Did you do it because...
00:37:14No, no. It's nothing like that. I just couldn't have my wife being voted out as CEO on paper. It would look bad for me.
00:37:22So it's all about appearances?
00:37:24Yes, Mia. It's all it ever is. We agreed to a business arrangement.
00:37:28Joshua, I'm so tired of this. Of living in a fantasy where I never actually get to know you.
00:37:35I'm more than just a tool for business advancement or keeping up appearances.
00:37:42I want a divorce.
00:37:47I want a divorce.
00:37:52You sure about this?
00:37:54I deserve something real in my life, Joshua. Not this facade.
00:38:01I deserve to be more than just a business arrangement in somebody's life. I want genuine happiness.
00:38:07I understand. If that's what you want.
00:38:14Joshua, please.
00:38:18Let's proceed with the divorce.
00:38:23Okay.
00:38:54Joshua, what are you doing to yourself?
00:38:58Mia. Mia?
00:39:02Here, don't leave. Don't leave.
00:39:04You're drunk. Please, help me take him to his car.
00:39:08No. No.
00:39:10I'll take him to my place. He shouldn't be alone.
00:39:13Okay. Let's go.
00:39:16Mia.
00:39:18Mia.
00:39:26Morning, Josh. Here, drink this. You've had quite a night.
00:39:31I'm not drunk.
00:39:33I'm not drunk.
00:39:35I'm not drunk.
00:39:37I'm not drunk.
00:39:39I'm not drunk.
00:39:41I'm not drunk.
00:39:42Here, drink this. You've had quite a night.
00:39:46Susie.
00:39:49Where am I?
00:39:51This is my apartment. Nothing bad happened. I also drove your car back here.
00:39:57How did I get here?
00:39:59You were really drunk. I didn't think you should be alone.
00:40:03Josh, what happened?
00:40:06It's over between me and Mia. We're getting a divorce.
00:40:13Maybe it was never meant to be.
00:40:16You deserve someone who understands and loves you.
00:40:37No. I can't do this, Susie.
00:40:39Why?
00:40:41I have always loved you.
00:40:44Now that you and Mia are getting a divorce, we can finally be together.
00:40:48Susie, you are a dear friend and like a little sister.
00:40:53It can't be anything more.
00:40:55I'm sorry.
00:40:57Do you really love that Mia Gerber?
00:41:04Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:07Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:41:11I need to go tell her. Now.
00:41:36I'm calling because you are at a different automatic point of reference.
00:41:56Noah, hey.
00:41:58I've decided to divorce Joshua.
00:42:01Are you okay?
00:42:03I'm fine. It's just... It's for the best.
00:42:06There's something I need to tell you.
00:42:09Sorry. It's the hospital.
00:42:12Hello? What? What happened? Is he okay?
00:42:17Okay, yeah. I'll be right there.
00:42:20What's wrong?
00:42:22It's Joshua. He's been in an accident.
00:42:30Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm here for Joshua Lane.
00:42:37Joshua.
00:42:40Ms. Gerber?
00:42:42Yeah.
00:42:43We found that Mr. Lane was attempting to call you when the accident occurred.
00:42:48It's all my fault.
00:42:51It was nobody's fault. It was an accident.
00:42:54But right now, he needs you.
00:42:57Do your best to help him wake up, will you?
00:43:01I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:03I won't leave you, Joshua.
00:43:09You remember that soup you made me?
00:43:12That meant the world to me.
00:43:15Whenever you get better,
00:43:18I'm going to make you that soup.
00:43:21Because I know it was your mom's recipe.
00:43:24It was those little moments with you.
00:43:27You know, whenever we would wake up
00:43:28and come out of our rooms and see each other in the morning,
00:43:32sometimes that was the happiest part of my day.
00:43:44Please come back to me.
00:43:49This is all your fault, Mia.
00:43:51You drove him to this.
00:43:54You hurt him.
00:43:55And now, look what's happened to him.
00:44:05Mia, we have a problem.
00:44:07Eleanor and Alex are plotting to make Alex the new CEO while Joshua's in a coma.
00:44:12Now even Joshua's father's been convinced.
00:44:14So they're using Joshua's condition to their advantage.
00:44:17I won't stand for it.
00:44:19What's the plan?
00:44:21I'm meeting with Mr. Lane.
00:44:22He's a key shareholder of Lane Holdings.
00:44:24His voice can sway their mind.
00:44:28Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice, Mr. Lane.
00:44:31I've always been curious about the famous Mia Gerber.
00:44:34After all, you're the one who led Gerber Corporation to the next level.
00:44:38You're too kind.
00:44:40I'm merely stating a fact.
00:44:42Not everyone in the second generation is as capable as you.
00:44:45So, tell me.
00:44:47Why do you want to see me?
00:44:49Is it about Alex being the new CEO?
00:44:50You're a wise man, Mr. Lane.
00:44:53Joshua's vision has been the driving force behind Lane Holdings.
00:44:57We cannot allow Alex to derail that.
00:45:00I can't do anything at this time.
00:45:02Joshua is out of commission.
00:45:04It's best to have someone lead the company.
00:45:07Gerald is not in good health after his stroke.
00:45:11Alex is the only choice.
00:45:13What if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:16What if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:22What if I told you there's another choice?
00:45:26I can be the interim CEO of Lane Holdings as Joshua's legal wife.
00:45:31I can uphold his legacy and, as you mentioned before, I'm a very capable CEO in my own right.
00:45:37Your vote, of course, is crucial, but more than anything, people trust your judgment.
00:45:43If you choose to have faith in me, others will follow.
00:45:46And I promise, I won't disappoint.
00:45:50Can you run two companies at the same time?
00:45:53I have a very capable team over at Gerber Corporation.
00:45:56They'll keep things running smoothly, even if I'm not there full-time.
00:46:00I'll devote my time to Lane Holdings until Joshua gets better.
00:46:04What if he doesn't?
00:46:06He will.
00:46:08I admire your tenacity. I'll do what I can.
00:46:12Thank you, Mr. Lane.
00:46:31I'll fight for you, Joshua.
00:46:35You did the same for me.
00:46:40I won't let you down.
00:46:47Given Joshua's current condition, I propose Mia Gerber as the interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:46:54Mia Gerber? She's from a different company. How is she even qualified?
00:46:59Mia is Joshua's wife, the legal heir.
00:47:02She's proven her capabilities with Gerber Corporation.
00:47:05Combining the strengths of both companies under her leadership will only make Lane Holdings stronger.
00:47:11This is absurd. Mia is practically a stranger to our company's operations.
00:47:16While I appreciate your concerns, I think my track record speaks for itself.
00:47:22And unlike Alex here, who has had his hand in multiple questionable business dealings,
00:47:28I offer a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
00:47:32I agree with Mr. Lane.
00:47:34Mia's appointment as interim CEO is the best course of action for now.
00:47:38But Dad!
00:47:40Stop, Alex.
00:47:46Joshua, I hope you're proud.
00:47:52Let's go.
00:47:54You ain't gonna take over with no consequences, Mia?
00:47:57I'm gonna make her pay.
00:48:01You won't be touching her.
00:48:03Who the fuck are you?
00:48:09Damn it! She's gone! Take care of her!
00:48:17See the security camera?
00:48:19I'm gonna get the footage.
00:48:21And if you ever try and hurt me again, I'll call the police.
00:48:24You'll never become the CEO of Lane Holdings. Ever!
00:48:28God damn it!
00:48:40Thanks.
00:48:47Noah, what happened?
00:48:49Don't worry, I'm fine.
00:48:51You're not fine. You're bleeding.
00:48:57Are you okay?
00:49:01Thanks, but the reason I came over was because I wanted to finish our conversation from before.
00:49:07This is Lane. It's Mr. Lane. He's waking up from the coma.
00:49:10This is Lane. It's Mr. Lane. He's waking up from the coma.
00:49:16I have to go to the hospital.
00:49:18I just want to tell you something important.
00:49:20No, nothing's more important than Joshua right now.
00:49:25Joshua, Joshua, Joshua.
00:49:33When you wake up, we can be together.
00:49:38Mia doesn't deserve you.
00:49:41But you and I, we're meant to be.
00:49:49Mia.
00:49:51Joshua, you're awake.
00:49:54Mia.
00:49:56Excuse me, miss.
00:49:59Mr. Lane?
00:50:02Mr. Lane?
00:50:04Mia.
00:50:06Can you hear me, sir?
00:50:08Call his wife Mia Gerber immediately.
00:50:10Mr. Lane, I need you to concentrate for me. Do you remember what day it is?
00:50:14Mia.
00:50:16Yes, we're getting your wife right now, sir.
00:50:23Joshua.
00:50:25I'm sorry, this is all my fault.
00:50:27No, Mia. Don't blame yourself.
00:50:31It's a price I was willing to pay.
00:50:33You got hurt because of me.
00:50:35Mia, listen to me.
00:50:37I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you.
00:50:40For not being honest about my feelings.
00:50:43I was afraid to admit it.
00:50:46Even to myself.
00:50:48I can't hide it anymore.
00:50:50I love you, Mia.
00:50:53I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
00:50:57You should have said them sooner.
00:51:01I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:03I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:04I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:05I love you too, Joshua.
00:51:32Noah Bellini. Drinking alone?
00:51:35Just to talk?
00:51:37You are underappreciated, Noah.
00:51:41Maybe we could help each other out.
00:51:49Thank you for standing up for me while I was out.
00:51:53I heard you managed as interim CEO of Lane Holdings.
00:51:56I handle things.
00:51:58I actually have a business meeting later today with a potential partner.
00:52:02Who's the partner?
00:52:03Kevin Katz.
00:52:06He's a key player in the industry.
00:52:09Katz?
00:52:11He's notorious for being handsy with business partners.
00:52:15I don't like the idea of you two being alone.
00:52:18I can handle Katz.
00:52:20I've dealt with worse.
00:52:22Just be careful, alright?
00:52:24I will.
00:52:29I promise.
00:52:33Okay.
00:52:35I gotta go.
00:52:37Love you.
00:52:45So our collaboration will be mutually beneficial,
00:52:48especially when expanding into new markets.
00:52:50Absolutely, Mia.
00:52:52I've always admired Lane Holdings.
00:52:54Now with you at the helm,
00:52:56perhaps we can find ways to make our partnership more enjoyable.
00:53:03Mr. Katz, let's keep this strictly professional.
00:53:07Oh, come on, Mia.
00:53:09Don't be such a prude.
00:53:11Business is more fun when there's a personal touch.
00:53:17Don't you agree?
00:53:20I will not be doing business with people who cannot respect personal boundaries.
00:53:25You'll regret this, bitch.
00:53:28I could ruin Lane Holdings' reputation.
00:53:33Now you have one last chance.
00:53:39That's for being a disgusting pig.
00:53:51Hey.
00:53:53How'd the meeting go?
00:53:56Let's just say Kevin Katz won't be bothering us anymore.
00:53:59What did he do?
00:54:01I handled it.
00:54:03Okay.
00:54:05Let's just focus on getting you better and back in charge.
00:54:09Can I get you some water?
00:54:21Ethan, get the bodyguard and meet me downstairs.
00:54:24I can't explain right now, just do it.
00:54:31Where's Joshua?
00:54:32Mr. Lane checked out.
00:54:34He insisted he was well enough to leave.
00:54:36No, he's not fully recovered yet.
00:54:42What are you trying to do?
00:54:44Teach you a lesson that you can't touch Joshua Lane's woman.
00:54:53You can't do this.
00:54:55Lane, I can sue you and you'll end up in jail.
00:54:59This is you, Mr. Katz.
00:55:01Doing something quite illegal.
00:55:03I must say, your taste is really reprehensible.
00:55:06You can't sue me.
00:55:08It was a long time ago.
00:55:10If I could still release the video, you'll lose everything.
00:55:14In fact, just it.
00:55:17The victim's identity was protected.
00:55:19And they'll be set for the rest of their life.
00:55:22You!
00:55:24If you so much as speak a word about me or me,
00:55:26I'll make sure you wish you weren't born.
00:55:29Where were you? I was worried sick.
00:55:31I had to take care of something.
00:55:33About Katz.
00:55:35I told you, I handled it.
00:55:37I can take care of myself.
00:55:39I won't allow anyone laying their hands on you.
00:55:41Still, it's so reckless.
00:55:46It's okay now.
00:55:48You handled it?
00:55:50Yeah.
00:55:52I'm flattered by the jealousy.
00:55:55I'm sorry.
00:55:56I'm sorry, too.
00:55:59I really do love you, Joshua.
00:56:03I love you, too, Mia.
00:56:07I have a surprise for you.
00:56:17I made something for you.
00:56:20What's this?
00:56:22It's your mom's recipe.
00:56:24I found it in a cookbook in the library.
00:56:27I can't believe you made this.
00:56:30I thought it might bring you some comfort.
00:56:38This...
00:56:41This is exactly how she used to make it.
00:56:44How'd you get it so right?
00:56:46I may have had some help from the internet
00:56:48and about 50 practice runs.
00:56:51You're just the best.
00:56:56We have a plan that could shift the balance of power
00:56:59in our favor.
00:57:02Our plan didn't overthrow Mia Gerber
00:57:04and the Gerber Corporation.
00:57:06But this time, we will.
00:57:09I just, I don't want Mia to lose everything.
00:57:12I promise you, she won't.
00:57:14Without you.
00:57:16I promise.
00:57:17I promise you, she won't.
00:57:19With the Gerber family's fortune,
00:57:21Mia's set for life.
00:57:23She just won't be the CEO anymore.
00:57:26Think about this.
00:57:28With the Gerber family out of practice,
00:57:30Lane Holdings, they won't partner with them.
00:57:33Joshua Lane will probably divorce Mia
00:57:35because she's no use to him.
00:57:38Mia could finally be yours.
00:57:40Here's the plan.
00:57:42We target Gerber Corporation's
00:57:44medical device supplier network.
00:57:45Disrupting it will cause significant issues
00:57:47in the hospital and psychiatric care units.
00:57:51How do we proceed?
00:57:53Melody Healthcare has insiders
00:57:55inside their supply chain.
00:57:57We'll start by creating delays
00:57:59and quality issues.
00:58:01The fallout will be immediate and devastating.
00:58:03The resources stretch so thin,
00:58:06they won't even see us coming.
00:58:16Congratulations on your recovery, Joshua.
00:58:18It's good to see you up and about.
00:58:20Thanks for coming.
00:58:22And thank you for
00:58:24being there for me
00:58:26during the coma.
00:58:28It means a lot.
00:58:30But it didn't matter, did it?
00:58:32In the end,
00:58:34only Mia matters to you.
00:58:36Susie, you'll always matter to me.
00:58:40But,
00:58:42yes, I love Mia.
00:58:43I'll always love you too, but
00:58:45as a friend.
00:58:47That's not going to be enough for me.
00:58:49It's time for me to live my own life.
00:58:52That's why I'm here,
00:58:54to say goodbye.
00:58:56Um,
00:58:58what's your plan?
00:59:00I'm helping out my dad with our family company,
00:59:02Harper Medical Devices.
00:59:05That's Gerber Corporation's
00:59:07biggest supplier, right?
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:11Susie, you wouldn't...
00:59:13We're not going to do anything to Mia.
00:59:15I'm focusing on my own path now.
00:59:20Goodbye, Joshua.
00:59:36Why are there so many cancelled contracts
00:59:38with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:40Hey,
00:59:42you haven't noticed any suppliers
00:59:44backing out of deals
00:59:46with Gerber Corporation?
00:59:48There are rumors
00:59:50someone's been persuading them
00:59:52to cut ties with the Gerbers.
01:00:03Hello?
01:00:07What do you mean
01:00:09they've stopped supplying to us?
01:00:12What?
01:00:21Noah,
01:00:23the suppliers are backing out for no reason.
01:00:25It's a competitive market, Mia.
01:00:27Yeah, but this feels coordinated.
01:00:29Isn't that unusual?
01:00:31Yeah, it is.
01:00:33I'm going to look into it.
01:00:35Hey, are you okay?
01:00:37Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just busy.
01:00:39Don't worry about me.
01:00:42Okay.
01:00:49You look like you've been through a war zone.
01:00:51What happened?
01:00:53It's the supplier crisis.
01:00:55The situation's worse than I thought.
01:01:00I don't know what to do, Joshua.
01:01:04We'll get through this
01:01:06together.
01:01:17Thank you all for coming.
01:01:19We understand your concerns
01:01:21and we're prepared to increase profits
01:01:23to maintain our partnerships.
01:01:36Now the offer looks good.
01:01:38But we heard some rumors of internal issues
01:01:39within the corporation company
01:01:41involving a higher level.
01:01:43Let me assure you,
01:01:45Gerber Corporation is as strong as ever.
01:01:48These rumors are unfounded.
01:02:00You're right.
01:02:02There are gaps in Noah's whereabouts.
01:02:04Keep digging, Ethan.
01:02:06We need concrete evidence.
01:02:10Mia, Noah might be involved
01:02:12with the issues at the company.
01:02:14There's no way.
01:02:16He's very loyal to the company.
01:02:18Although he has been acting weird lately.
01:02:20Have you ever considered
01:02:22he might have feelings for you?
01:02:24I mean, feelings make us do things.
01:02:26No.
01:02:28Noah's a brother to me.
01:02:30He's never even said anything
01:02:32remotely romantic.
01:02:34Actions speak louder than words.
01:02:36I mean, sure, he's supportive
01:02:37and caring,
01:02:39but that's just Noah being Noah.
01:02:41I really don't think there's
01:02:43anything more to it.
01:02:45Sometimes the people closest to us
01:02:47surprise us the most.
01:02:53Hey, just wanted to check in.
01:02:55We haven't had any time to talk lately.
01:02:57I've been good.
01:02:59I've just been busy dealing
01:03:01with the supplier crisis.
01:03:03I know, and I'm really grateful
01:03:05for you. You've done so much.
01:03:07Yeah.
01:03:12Hey, uh,
01:03:14I have a question.
01:03:17You don't secretly have
01:03:20feelings for me,
01:03:23do you?
01:03:26What if I do?
01:03:28Oh, um,
01:03:31really?
01:03:34I've put this off for too long.
01:03:37And I need to tell you now.
01:03:40I've loved you since the first time
01:03:42I met you.
01:03:45I still remember that day
01:03:47like it was yesterday.
01:03:49We were just starting college
01:03:51and came to visit the office
01:03:53during summer break.
01:03:55You wore a blue dress
01:03:57and you looked like a princess.
01:03:59I was just starting off
01:04:01the company.
01:04:03I come from a humble background,
01:04:05so I never thought I could be
01:04:07here with you.
01:04:09I'm stronger.
01:04:11I'm working.
01:04:13And I know we should be together
01:04:15here.
01:04:17Noah,
01:04:21I've really
01:04:23only ever seen you as a friend.
01:04:28It's because Joshua's done
01:04:30things for you.
01:04:32I've done more.
01:04:34No, I love him, okay?
01:04:35We understand each other.
01:04:37Because you're both born
01:04:39with silver spoons in your mouth
01:04:41and I wasn't?
01:04:43You know it's not that.
01:04:45I just, I have a really
01:04:47strong feeling about him.
01:04:49Just not for me?
01:04:52Noah, I'm sorry.
01:04:54I didn't mean to lead you on
01:04:56and it wasn't my intention
01:04:58to hurt you.
01:05:01It's okay.
01:05:02I understand.
01:05:05Just needed to hear it from you.
01:05:08I know.
01:05:13Dwayne,
01:05:15double down on the plan.
01:05:17There's no going back now.
01:05:25Noah,
01:05:28what brings you here?
01:05:29I think it's time for your company
01:05:31to reconsider its partnership
01:05:33with Gerber.
01:05:35I'm not sure what you're implying.
01:05:37It's simple.
01:05:39Harbor Medical Devices is the
01:05:41biggest supplier for Gerber Corporation.
01:05:43If you cut ties with Gerber,
01:05:45it'll deal a critical blow to them.
01:05:47So,
01:05:49you're the one behind the scheme.
01:05:53Why would I go along with it?
01:05:55The question is,
01:05:57why wouldn't you?
01:05:59I don't like Susie.
01:06:01I always love people who don't love us back.
01:06:04I've already let it go.
01:06:06Why let it go when you still have a chance?
01:06:08If me and the Gerber family
01:06:10are out of the company,
01:06:12the Lean family won the business alliance,
01:06:14Joshua and Mia will get divorced,
01:06:17and you and I can finally be with them.
01:06:23Join me.
01:06:25Together we can make sure
01:06:27we aren't ignored anymore.
01:06:30So, Mia,
01:06:32we've heard smaller suppliers
01:06:34are terminating contracts.
01:06:36Trust me, we have the situation under control.
01:06:38That's not what I heard.
01:06:40The rumor is Harbor Medical Devices is pulling out.
01:06:43How do you explain this?
01:06:45I assure you we're addressing the concerns,
01:06:47but our relationship with our suppliers
01:06:49has never been stronger.
01:06:51As one of the largest shareholders,
01:06:53I have complete faith in Mia's leadership.
01:06:55These rumors are just that,
01:06:57rumors.
01:07:00The rumor was right.
01:07:02Harbor Medical Devices
01:07:04decided to terminate the contract with us.
01:07:06But there's still hope.
01:07:08I've convinced Harbor
01:07:10to continue their partnership with us,
01:07:13but only if I become the new CEO.
01:07:16It's time for a change in leadership,
01:07:18someone who can steer this company
01:07:20in the right direction.
01:07:22So I've brought Susie Harper with me,
01:07:24the acting CEO of Harbor Medical Devices,
01:07:26and I'm going to help her
01:07:27become the new CEO of Harbor Medical Devices.
01:07:30Susie will tell you all
01:07:32that she would like Mia Gerber to resign.
01:07:37Actually,
01:07:39I think there's been a misunderstanding.
01:07:41Harbor Medical Devices
01:07:43never intended to terminate
01:07:45our contracts with Gerber Corporation.
01:07:47Any rumor suggesting otherwise is false.
01:07:51Furthermore,
01:07:53I believe in Mia's leadership
01:07:55and the direction that she's taking
01:07:57with the company.
01:07:59Thank you, Susie.
01:08:01I owe you a big one.
01:08:03You don't owe me anything.
01:08:05I just want Joshua
01:08:07and the person he loves to be happy.
01:08:10Promise me
01:08:12you'll never hurt him.
01:08:16And I have evidence
01:08:18that Noah Belani
01:08:20has been conspiring with former
01:08:22ousted executive Dwayne Kaiser
01:08:24to sabotage the company.
01:08:25Mr. Belani,
01:08:27your actions have endangered
01:08:29the company and everybody in it.
01:08:31You're therefore terminated
01:08:33immediately.
01:08:56It's quite the view.
01:09:04I thought a lot about what happened
01:09:06and I wanted to say sorry.
01:09:09I should have been clearer
01:09:11and I didn't mean to lead you on.
01:09:15I was lost, Mia.
01:09:17My actions,
01:09:19my obsession.
01:09:22I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:24I'm sorry for everything.
01:09:28We both made mistakes.
01:09:31I'm just glad we can put it all behind us.
01:09:35You were a good friend, Noah.
01:09:38You were more than a friend to me, Mia.
01:09:41I've learned to let go.
01:09:46I just want you to be happy.
01:09:50I am.
01:09:53I hope you find your happiness too.
01:09:57Take care, Noah.
01:10:01Me too.
01:10:19We are gathered here today
01:10:21to witness the reaffirmation
01:10:23of vows between Mia
01:10:25and Joshua Lane.
01:10:29Joshua, our marriage
01:10:31was out of necessity,
01:10:33but you've become my partner,
01:10:35my rock,
01:10:37my best friend.
01:10:39Mia, you've given me
01:10:41the gift of a real family.
01:10:43I will vow to cherish
01:10:45and love you forever.
01:10:47This is just the beginning
01:10:49of our forever.
01:10:53I love you.
