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