00:00:28You're a bitch.
00:00:29Good crap, Maya.
00:00:30He called.
00:00:31We're here.
00:00:32What do you want?
00:00:33I just don't want a two-timing asshole in my life anymore.
00:00:36Here's the bill for everything you owe me.
00:00:38Tuition, half the rent, expenses.
00:00:42$25,750.75.
00:00:43How pitty can you be?
00:00:48Very.

00:00:55You've become such a greedy skank.
00:00:57Me?
00:00:58You're the one who cheated on me after mooching off me for years.
00:01:01Hey.
00:01:02Maya, please tell me the numbers you're punching in aren't for Brooks.
00:01:09It's just for him to stay in school.
00:01:11You know how he can stay in school?
00:01:12As if he gets a job.
00:01:13I mean, why is it up to you to get him through law school anyway?
00:01:16Maya, are you okay?
00:01:20Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:23I'm just so yetted.
00:01:26You're selling blood?
00:01:27On top of working three side hustles?
00:01:29Are you crazy?
00:01:30Liz, I'm fine.
00:01:31It's just for him to stay in law school.
00:01:33Please don't tell anyone.
00:01:35I supported you for five years, Brooks.
00:01:37I put you through law school.
00:01:39I believed in you.
00:01:40I loved you.
00:01:41And how do you repay me?
00:01:42By crawling into her bed?
00:01:43Don't play the victim card.
00:01:44I didn't ask you to do all that.
00:01:46Oh my God.
00:01:48Oh my God.
00:01:50You think Brooks will stay with you for $25,000?
00:01:53You're so desperate.
00:01:55How's $30,000?
00:01:56A little extra, just for you.
00:01:59Money can't buy you class, but now you can try.
00:02:02Why?
00:02:03It's not like it worked for you.
00:02:05Is that so?
00:02:08There you go.
00:02:11Now kneel down on the ground and pick it up.
00:02:13Like the little desperate peasant girl you are.
00:02:17Pick it up.
00:02:19For what?
00:02:20You'll get your plore on me.
00:02:23Maya, apologize right now.
00:02:25Sorry.
00:02:26I heard you were lactose intolerant.
00:02:28Don't.
00:02:29People are watching.
00:02:33This is far from over.
00:02:37Ethan Armstrong, I have had it with you.
00:02:40You promised me a wedding today.
00:02:42Grandma, it's not my fault.
00:02:44She never showed up.
00:02:45Oh, please.
00:02:46Like I don't know you're still holding out.
00:02:48I'm sorry.
00:02:49I'm sorry.
00:02:50I'm sorry.
00:02:51Like I don't know you're still holding out for your childhood love, Stella Everett.
00:02:55Ethan, it's been 17 years.
00:02:58It's time to move on, to get married.
00:03:01I completely agree.
00:03:10Baby, there you are.
00:03:13What?
00:03:14Remember, we were supposed to meet Grandma today?
00:03:17Yes.
00:03:19Grandma, I'm your future granddaughter-in-law.
00:03:22Oh.
00:03:23She reminds me of Stella.
00:03:27I'll always find you.
00:03:31It's so nice to meet you.
00:03:33Maya.
00:03:34Maya Moore.
00:03:37You didn't tell your grandma about me?
00:03:39I wanted to surprise her.
00:03:41And what a wonderful surprise it is.
00:03:45So, what time are you two getting married today?
00:03:48Should I play along?
00:03:50Right now.
00:03:52Right.
00:03:54Right now?
00:03:55Yep.
00:03:56Oh.
00:03:57That's wonderful.
00:03:59I always thought there was something romantic about eloping to a courthouse.
00:04:05Definitely.
00:04:06I like him.
00:04:07I guess he is kind of hot.
00:04:10Congratulations.
00:04:12Congratulations.
00:04:16So, Mr. Armstrong, do you know any good divorce lawyers?
00:04:22Thank you so much for your help.
00:04:24Maya, is it?
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:29Maya.
00:04:30Or I could call you Mrs. Armstrong.
00:04:33What?
00:04:34Do you mind if we keep this thing going?
00:04:36Because my grandma is going to be on me like a hawk.
00:04:40Um.
00:04:41Oh, yeah.
00:04:42I almost forgot.
00:04:43This is for all your troubles.
00:04:45Passcode is six zeros.
00:04:47And it would be way more convincing if you moved in with me.
00:04:51I'm sorry.
00:04:53What?
00:04:54Oh, I didn't even ask.
00:04:56Do you have a boyfriend?
00:04:57Not anymore.
00:04:59He's dead to me.
00:05:00Perfect.
00:05:03I have to go.
00:05:05I'll talk to you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:05:10Wait.
00:05:12When are we getting divorced?
00:05:16Hello, Ethan, my boy.
00:05:18Mr. Everett.
00:05:19Are you ever going to call me grandpa?
00:05:21You practically lived at my house when you were a kid.
00:05:23Mr. Everett, it seems more appropriate now that we're going to be working together.
00:05:27Are you telling me that the Armstrong-Everett merger went through?
00:05:31How did you ever convince your grandma to get those board votes that she needed?
00:05:36I gave her what she wanted.
00:05:38I got married.
00:05:42Married?
00:05:43Yes.
00:05:44To a great girl.
00:05:45That's just great.
00:05:46I didn't think you'd ever get over Stella's disappearance, but I'm glad you did, son.
00:05:56Well, I want you to have a good life.
00:05:59Thanks, grandpa.
00:06:00Well, I guess we'll discuss this more when I see you at the office.
00:06:03All right.
00:06:08My beautiful granddaughter.
00:06:11I can't believe it's been 17 years since you disappeared.
00:06:24So, did you take care of that cheating rat and his Minnie Mouse?
00:06:28Of course.
00:06:29You should have seen that bitch's face when I threw a coffee at him.
00:06:33Maya Moore, I don't know how you find the time to gossip when your KPIs are in the toilet.
00:06:40We want to interview with the CEO of Armstrong Enterprises.
00:06:43Make it happen or you're fired.
00:06:45Mr. Armstrong is the youngest tycoon on Wall Street.
00:06:48Even the New York Times needs months in advance to get an interview with him.
00:06:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:06:52Did anyone hear me ask Liz for her opinion?
00:06:55You have 72 hours.
00:06:57Oh, and there are some boxes in the storage closet in case you want to get a head start in clearing out your desk.
00:07:02Oh, my God.
00:07:08That's my husband.
00:07:11Oh, my God.
00:07:12That's him.
00:07:13That's my husband.
00:07:14Mr. Armstrong is known for being a dick in interviews.
00:07:17What did you do to piss the old witch off?
00:07:19I didn't do anything.
00:07:22Teresa, you have to kick her out of the company.
00:07:25Maya Moore is ruining my life.
00:07:27Oh, don't you worry, pumpkin.
00:07:28I'll deal with her.
00:07:30Thank you, auntie.
00:07:31Anything for my favorite niece.
00:07:41Miss me already?
00:07:42You're the Ethan Armstrong?
00:07:44Why didn't you say anything?
00:07:46You never asked.
00:07:47Is something wrong?
00:07:48No.
00:07:49Well, I do have a small favor to ask you.
00:07:53A big favor.
00:07:55You're my wife.
00:07:56There's no such thing as a favor between us, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:00Well, the publication I work for would like to invite you to do an interview with us.
00:08:07I am a very busy man.
00:08:11I am a very busy man.
00:08:14Oh, no, of course.
00:08:16It's impossible to get an interview with you for good reason, obviously.
00:08:20Maya, relax.
00:08:21I'm just playing with you.
00:08:23Of course I'll do it.
00:08:25That's it?
00:08:27No need to think it over?
00:08:30What's there to think about?
00:08:31You're my wife.
00:08:32If you ask, I'm there.
00:08:35Well, that's very kind.
00:08:37I'll see you later, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:08:44I could get used to this whole marriage thing.
00:08:53What do you want?
00:08:54I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:08:57I just got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong.
00:09:00Maya, you can't just lie to save your sorry ass.
00:09:03Did I just hear something about an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong?
00:09:06Yes.
00:09:07I set it up and he said yes.
00:09:09Family connections, you know.
00:09:11Wow, I knew it was a good idea to hire Baldwin.
00:09:13Ms. Baldwin, now that I got us an exclusive interview with Ethan Armstrong, do you need anything else?
00:09:19Wait, you got us the interview?
00:09:21I did, sir.
00:09:22Have you ever interviewed anyone before?
00:09:24Oh, I'm afraid not.
00:09:26Oh, I'm afraid she's not experienced enough.
00:09:28I'll do it.
00:09:29After all, as we just said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:09:32I run in these circles.
00:09:33Well, you may be a Baldwin, but Moore just got us the interview.
00:09:36Do you think you can handle it?
00:09:37I'd be honored.
00:09:40Settled, then.
00:09:41Thank you, Mr. Cole.
00:09:42I will not let you down.
00:09:44No problem.
00:09:45Why did you do that?
00:09:47What?
00:09:48Tell the truth?
00:09:56Here.
00:09:57Questions for the interview.
00:10:01What about the questions I handed in yesterday?
00:10:03Those questions weren't approved.
00:10:05Mr. Cole would like you to use that draft.
00:10:16Mr. Armstrong is here.
00:10:26Hello, Mr. Armstrong.
00:10:42I'm Maya Moore.
00:10:45Have we met before?
00:10:49Have we met before?
00:10:51I think we might have.
00:10:54I'll be live-streaming our interview today.
00:10:57Shall we start?
00:10:58Let's do it.
00:11:02So, Mr. Armstrong, people have been speculating that you've been single all these years because...
00:11:08you like men.
00:11:11What the hell is wrong with her?
00:11:12We're a serious financial magazine and she's acting like we're TMZ.
00:11:15She's so unprofessional.
00:11:18Well then...
00:11:21I have a little secret for you.
00:11:25I actually just got married to an incredible woman.
00:11:31Did you hear that? He just got married!
00:11:33Maya Miner just scored the biggest exclusive ever!
00:11:39How many relationships have you been in?
00:11:45Mr. Cole, our followers are growing like crazy.
00:11:47What?
00:11:50This is outstanding!
00:11:51Thank you so much for your time today.
00:11:54Mr. Armstrong...
00:11:57I'll pick you up after work, Mrs. Armstrong.
00:12:00That was outstanding, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:03Congratulations on your marriage.
00:12:05You should really thank Miss Moore.
00:12:07It was an honor.
00:12:08Of course. You will be getting a raise.
00:12:10Right this way, Mr. Armstrong.
00:12:14What the hell were those questions today?
00:12:16Oh, I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?
00:12:19I don't speak sluts.
00:12:20Stop picking on me. I'm serious.
00:12:22Or it will be war.
00:12:34What do you want, Pete?
00:12:35Come on. I raised you for ten years.
00:12:37I gave you my last name.
00:12:38The least you can do is call me Dad.
00:12:40Fine. What do you want, Dad?
00:12:42I want to know why you're such a fucking bitch.
00:12:44Huh?
00:12:45What do you want, Dad?
00:12:46I want to know why you're such a fucking bitch.
00:12:48Huh? You broke off with Brooks right after he became a lawyer and started making money?
00:12:52He cheated on me.
00:12:53I don't give a flying fuck!
00:12:56You come down to the parking lot right now.
00:13:06What's going on?
00:13:07Hey, do you remember when I first found you?
00:13:09Such a grand old orphan in the middle of nowhere. Huh?
00:13:13Wait, but I took you in.
00:13:14Don't you think it's time to get a little bit of return on my investment?
00:13:19Investment?
00:13:20What are you talking about?
00:13:21Shut up. Just shut up.
00:13:23Okay, I get it. You don't want Brooks.
00:13:26Remember Leon? I still owe him a hundred grand.
00:13:29Okay? He said he will waive it if I bring you to him.
00:13:35Are you serious? You're going to sell your own daughter to the mob?
00:13:38What kind of father are you?
00:13:40I don't really know. I'm your fucking dad. Please. Okay?
00:13:43That's the least you can do for my trouble. Now take her in the car.
00:13:50Sir, something's wrong.
00:13:51They said Mrs. Armstrong had left, but when I checked the security tapes, I think she's been kidnapped.
00:13:57Call my security team. And find Maya. Now.
00:14:04There's my daughter, as promised. Mr. Leon.
00:14:07Good. Deal's a deal.
00:14:14Look at you.
00:14:18Big city's been real nice to you, hasn't it?
00:14:22Touch me and I'll kill you.
00:14:24Mmm, feisty. I like that.
00:14:29Fucking bitch!
00:14:33Hey!
00:14:35Get off my wife!
00:14:48Who the hell are you?
00:14:52That girl belonged to me!
00:14:54Shut him up!
00:14:56You okay?
00:14:59You hurt?
00:15:01No, I'm okay.
00:15:05Okay.
00:15:12Now, we're even.
00:15:15Hey, hey. It's okay. I got you now.
00:15:35Do you want to talk about it?
00:15:39You don't have to.
00:15:41No, it's... it's okay.
00:15:45When I was ten years old, I was found in the middle of nowhere with no memory.
00:15:55Hey. You okay?
00:15:58You like some of this?
00:15:59Pete Moore found me. I couldn't even remember my real name.
00:16:02So he tried to find my family and couldn't.
00:16:07So he named me Maya and he raised me himself.
00:16:11But as you can see today, he never loved me.
00:16:15Not once.
00:16:17In seventeen years.
00:16:18Seventeen years?
00:16:20Yeah.
00:16:22Seventeen years in June.
00:16:33We need to do some digging into Maya's foster father.
00:16:37And set up a meeting with Mr. Everett.
00:16:39We need to talk about his granddaughter.
00:16:43Let me go! I didn't do nothing!
00:16:46Shut up.
00:16:48You touched someone who's not yours.
00:16:50What the fuck?
00:16:51Pete said no one was going to come looking for that bitch!
00:16:55Make it known, scumbag.
00:16:57She's my daughter.
00:16:59Make it known, scumbag.
00:17:01She's with me now.
00:17:03No one touches her.
00:17:09Tell me everything you know about Maya's foster father.
00:17:12Pete? There's nothing to tell.
00:17:15Wait, wait, wait.
00:17:16I don't know. He's just a lowlife.
00:17:18We work in the same circles.
00:17:20Which is?
00:17:22It's petty crimes, boss.
00:17:24Low-level, scamming old ladies and shit like that.
00:17:27Why did he adopt Maya?
00:17:28Well, shit if I know!
00:17:30I don't know, I don't know.
00:17:31He just showed up one day with a new kid and a new car.
00:17:35A new car?
00:17:36The kind he couldn't afford.
00:17:37That's all I know, I swear.
00:17:41Take care of him.
00:17:42Wait!
00:17:43Let me go! I told you everything you wanted to know.
00:17:46Yeah, but you touched my wife.
00:17:48I can't let that go.
00:17:51Ah!
00:17:53Okay.
00:17:54Come on, what the hell, huh?
00:17:56He's not talking, boss.
00:17:57Look, there is no story.
00:18:00I found a girl, I took her in.
00:18:02I mean, I'm just a nice guy.
00:18:03A nice guy who sold his daughter?
00:18:06Look, I know I'm not a saint, but...
00:18:09I mean...
00:18:10Who the hell are you to stick your nose into my business anyway?
00:18:13I'm Maya's family now.
00:18:16Leon said that you showed up with Maya in a car you couldn't afford.
00:18:19How did you get it?
00:18:21I can't remember.
00:18:25Just...
00:18:26Your ride's here.
00:18:27Oh, no. Oh, come on.
00:18:28Some time in a cell might do you some good.
00:18:30Jog your memory.
00:18:31We can talk this out, man. Huh?
00:18:35If you suddenly remember how you found Maya,
00:18:37give me a call.
00:18:38But never talk to Maya again.
00:18:40Okay.
00:18:50Ethan, is this your house?
00:18:53Our house, if you want.
00:18:58You're bleeding.
00:19:00It's not mine.
00:19:12Oh, good. You're both here.
00:19:14Since I didn't get a chance to give you a wedding present,
00:19:16I brought you a little something.
00:19:18Grandma, you've done too much already.
00:19:20Oh, nonsense.
00:19:21Nothing is too much for my granddaughter-in-law.
00:19:26Now, I'm gonna go and make us some tea.
00:19:31Grandma likes you a lot.
00:19:33Nothing gets you ready for bed
00:19:35like some peppermint tea...
00:19:40and some aphrodisiac.
00:19:43I'm going to be having some great grandbabies later.
00:19:48Be soon.
00:19:56Are you sure you want me to stay here?
00:19:58I could just take an Uber home.
00:20:01No. Stay. It's late.
00:20:03Are you sure you're feeling okay?
00:20:07You look like you have a fever.
00:20:09I'm... I'm fine.
00:20:10I just need to throw some cold water on my face.
00:20:13I'll be alright.
00:20:15Have a good night.
00:20:19Hmm.
00:20:21Grandma?
00:20:22Hello?
00:20:23What's wrong with the door?
00:20:26It's Grandma.
00:20:27She...
00:20:28left this in here.
00:20:49She...
00:20:51left this in here.
00:21:05Are you sure you're not sick?
00:21:09You feel kind of hot.
00:21:14Do I?
00:21:19Mmm.
00:21:21I'm...
00:21:22I'm sorry.
00:21:23I think Grandma put something in my tea.
00:21:26I'm just going to wash my face and cool off.
00:21:30Great.
00:21:49Ah.
00:21:52Ah.
00:21:54Ah.
00:21:58Oh my gosh! Why, is that a Serrano?
00:22:00It's a Serrano?
00:22:02I don't know. I...
00:22:03got it as a gift.
00:22:04As if anyone would give you a $20,000 bag.
00:22:07It's probably some cheap fake you plucked out of the same dumpster you came from.
00:22:11I'd be careful, Ms. Baldwin.
00:22:12You know, jealousy ages people.
00:22:14Or maybe it already has.
00:22:16You really know how to run your mouth, Ms. Moore.
00:22:18Not for very much longer.
00:22:20Mr. Armstrong just bought our journal.
00:22:22Wait, what?
00:22:23He's going to get you back for that interview.
00:22:25If I were you, I'd quit now.
00:22:29Speaking of the devil, looks like our new boss is here.
00:22:46Ah.
00:23:05Ms. Moore, Mr. Armstrong would like to see you.
00:23:13You wanted to see me, sir?
00:23:17Sir?
00:23:19That's not what you called me last night.
00:23:25I am so sorry, sir, that Maya just barged in here so rudely.
00:23:29It hurts me to say this, but she's become a liability to the company.
00:23:32And I think she should leave permanently.
00:23:37Tell me, how is she a liability?
00:23:39Well, she humiliated you in that interview, sir.
00:23:42You think I should be embarrassed?
00:23:44No, no, no. You came off very well.
00:23:47But, um, Maya, she also disrespects her superiors.
00:23:51And she bosses her colleagues around.
00:23:53She really is just poisoning the company.
00:23:55That sounds more like Ms. Baldwin's introduction.
00:23:57You're a Baldwin?
00:23:59Yes. Yes, I am.
00:24:01Well, I've heard enough.
00:24:03You're fired.
00:24:06You hear that?
00:24:07Why don't you go gather your things.
00:24:08And don't let the door hit your trailer trash ass on the way out.
00:24:12I was talking to you, not her.
00:24:17What? Wait, no. This is a mistake.
00:24:19Why would you...
00:24:20I don't owe you an explanation.
00:24:22You're not worth my time.
00:24:24I'm a Baldwin.
00:24:25And what's a Baldwin compared to an Armstrong?
00:24:30Uh, I don't know.
00:24:31Come get Ms. Baldwin out of here.
00:24:35Savannah was right.
00:24:36You really are a nasty little bitch.
00:24:38Wait, how do you know Savannah?
00:24:41She's my niece.
00:24:42Baldwins stick together.
00:24:44I see.
00:24:45I can smell the junkyard you both came out of right now.
00:24:47This is a mistake.
00:24:48She's just some sort of stray dog off the farm.
00:24:50She's nobody.
00:24:51I'm a Baldwin.
00:24:53A Baldwin.
00:24:57And what's a Baldwin compared to an Armstrong?
00:25:00Hmm?
00:25:01Mrs. Armstrong?
00:25:03Not in the office.
00:25:07Okay.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:10We'll wait for it tonight.
00:25:14So who is this Savannah, anyway?
00:25:17She's my ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend.
00:25:20He left me after I put him through law school for five years.
00:25:24You don't have to worry about him anymore.
00:25:26I think you've moved on to something...
00:25:29better.
00:25:30And...
00:25:31bigger.
00:25:33You're not supposed to kiss at the office.
00:25:35We're not kissing.
00:25:36Mr. Armstrong,
00:25:37I really need to get going to your next meeting.
00:25:39You know Mr. Everett doesn't like to wait.
00:25:43Everett?
00:25:46Everett?
00:25:47Are you familiar with the Everetts?
00:25:50Everyone knows the Everett Corporation, right?
00:25:54Right.
00:25:56There you go.
00:25:57Office.
00:25:59I'll see you later.
00:26:01You're late.
00:26:02I was chasing Natalie.
00:26:03Oh, some new contracts?
00:26:04No, about your granddaughter.
00:26:09Did you get the fine still?
00:26:30Did you fine still her?
00:26:31Well, it's not for sure.
00:26:33But I really think...
00:26:34Stop right there.
00:26:35It's enough.
00:26:36How many years have I held on to the hope that we'd fine still her?
00:26:40I wanted her to be disappointed again and again.
00:26:43This time could be different.
00:26:46You know, I've met with nearly a hundred women.
00:26:48Every one of them swearing they were my granddaughter.
00:26:50And each time,
00:26:51I say to myself, this could be it.
00:26:54Yeah, I'll fine still her again.
00:26:56Only to realize
00:26:57there's just another person trying to trick me
00:26:59so they can get their hands on the Everett fortune.
00:27:03You really think I would try to trick you?
00:27:06I thought you trusted me.
00:27:08Of course I do.
00:27:10I practically raised you.
00:27:13For a long time, I even
00:27:15thought you'd eventually be my grandson-in-law.
00:27:20I just can't keep getting my hopes up, kid.
00:27:22You know, my heart won't take it.
00:27:24But...
00:27:25Nathan, just please, okay?
00:27:27Move on, kid.
00:27:29I guess it's time for me to move on, too.
00:27:32The timelines can't be coincidents.
00:27:37Fine.
00:27:38Yeah, all right.
00:27:39Geez.
00:27:40No more of this.
00:27:43Hey, let's talk about your love dream and wife, all right?
00:27:46How about that?
00:27:48Yeah, I think you two should meet.
00:27:55What?
00:28:03I just got off.
00:28:05You said not at the office.
00:28:09We're not at the office.
00:28:26Okay.
00:28:34Oh!
00:28:35Look what time it is.
00:28:36Don't you know Nathan has to go to work?
00:28:39And where's breakfast?
00:28:40Is this how you serve your husband?
00:28:42I'm sorry, who are you?
00:28:44I'm your mother-in-law.
00:28:46But not for long.
00:28:47For a nasty little gold digger like you, money talks.
00:28:51Tell me how much you want to leave my son,
00:28:53and I will give it to you.
00:28:56Ma'am, I didn't marry Ethan for money.
00:28:58And if you have a problem with our marriage,
00:28:59it's Ethan you should be talking to, not me.
00:29:02How dare you talk to me like that?
00:29:04You don't belong here.
00:29:06The only one who doesn't belong here is you, mother.
00:29:10Ethan, you are the sole heir to the Armstrongs.
00:29:15You cannot marry a woman like this.
00:29:18You don't even know what kind of cave she crawled out from under.
00:29:20No, I'm not going to have this.
00:29:22You two are going to get divorced today.
00:29:25No, we're not.
00:29:27I am your mother.
00:29:29You will not choose some whore over me.
00:29:32What right do you have to call yourself a mother?
00:29:35You gave birth to me and then you flew off to Europe.
00:29:37Mr. Everett and the nanny raised me.
00:29:39Ethan, I may not have been able to be there for you,
00:29:43but I am here now.
00:29:45And I am trying to protect our family.
00:29:49My family is just Maya and me,
00:29:51and it doesn't include you.
00:29:52My family is just Maya and me,
00:29:54and it doesn't include you.
00:30:00Maya and I are going to work.
00:30:02And mother, don't come back.
00:30:11I'm sorry about my mother.
00:30:13I hate that she hurt you.
00:30:16I'm fine.
00:30:19I'm actually more worried about you.
00:30:21Sounds like she wasn't around when you needed her to be.
00:30:25It worked out.
00:30:27My dad passed when I was young,
00:30:29but I knew he loved me.
00:30:31And I always had Mr. Everett.
00:30:36I guess we're both orphans in a way.
00:30:41But we have each other now.
00:30:47Did you ever try to find your real family?
00:30:51Pete filed a police report when he first found me,
00:30:53but no one ever came for me.
00:30:56As I got older, I thought I would look myself,
00:30:58but I had zero leads.
00:31:01It just never seemed worth it to get my hopes up.
00:31:04I understand.
00:31:08I gotta make a phone call.
00:31:10You go inside, and I'll be right there.
00:31:22Hey.
00:31:23I need you to check in on a police report.
00:31:26Have you got a chance to look this up yet?
00:31:29Oh my god, is that the Helena Jones?
00:31:31The famous actress?
00:31:35This is Helena Jones,
00:31:37a long time friend of the family.
00:31:39She and Ethan have known one another for nearly 20 years.
00:31:43This is Helena Jones,
00:31:45a long time friend of the family.
00:31:47She and Ethan have known one another for nearly 20 years.
00:31:50This is Helena Jones.
00:31:53Maya Moore.
00:31:55It's nice to meet you.
00:31:56Sorry, I just washed my hands.
00:32:00I'm Ethan's mother,
00:32:01and I'd like you all to meet his fiancée,
00:32:05Helena Jones.
00:32:07And let this be a friendly reminder to all you gold diggers
00:32:10trying to claw your way into high class.
00:32:15Are you okay?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17I'm gonna go grab something.
00:32:19Okay.
00:32:30I know about you and Ethan.
00:32:34I know about you and Ethan.
00:32:38And I've always liked Ethan.
00:32:40I mean, me and Ethan would have been married a long time ago
00:32:43if my acting career wasn't just getting started.
00:32:46Well, that was your choice.
00:32:48That has nothing to do with me.
00:32:49Yeah, but now that my career's really taken off,
00:32:52and I'm on the A-list,
00:32:54my PR team,
00:32:56I mean, I,
00:32:57think that it's the perfect time to get married.
00:33:00Ethan and I will be together soon.
00:33:03Very soon.
00:33:08The melodrama.
00:33:12Wait!
00:33:13No, no, no, no, no!
00:33:14Please!
00:33:15Somebody help me!
00:33:18Please!
00:33:27Now that Helena has agreed to marry you,
00:33:29you can finally divorce that woman.
00:33:31And don't worry,
00:33:32we will get you the best attorneys.
00:33:34Ethan,
00:33:35please don't be mad at me that I made you wait so long.
00:33:38I've never wanted to marry you.
00:33:42Don't tell me you're still hung up on Stella Everett.
00:33:44You were obsessed with her when we were kids.
00:33:46Ethan, dear,
00:33:47Stella would have made a perfect match for you,
00:33:49but it's just not possible.
00:33:51Helena is the next best thing.
00:33:53This has nothing to do with Stella.
00:33:55Maya is,
00:33:56and will always be, my wife.
00:33:59Is that so?
00:34:01Where is she now, then?
00:34:03Somebody!
00:34:08Please.
00:34:10Ethan, dear,
00:34:11lowlives like Maya
00:34:13will never make you happy.
00:34:15Did I not make that clear to you this morning?
00:34:18Or do I have to show you
00:34:19by cutting off your access to the Armstrong vaults?
00:34:22Let's go.
00:34:23I'm not done here.
00:34:24Help!
00:34:25Maya passed out and she needs help!
00:34:36Get in the car!
00:34:37We've got to get her to the hospital now!
00:34:46What happened?
00:34:47The doctor said it was low blood sugar and cyanemia.
00:34:51Why didn't you call for help?
00:34:53The door locked from the outside,
00:34:56after Helena left.
00:34:58Don't worry.
00:34:59That won't happen again.
00:35:01I promise.
00:35:07Thank you for always looking out for me.
00:35:09Isn't that what husbands are for?
00:35:11Now, the first order of business
00:35:14is to get you fed.
00:35:16Why don't we go on a date?
00:35:18What about work?
00:35:19I think the boss will be okay with it.
00:35:28I'm sorry.
00:35:29Go ahead and go inside.
00:35:30I've got to take this.
00:35:34What did you find out?
00:35:35The police have no record of the incident.
00:35:38I'm sorry.
00:35:39What did you find out?
00:35:40The police have no record of Pete Moore
00:35:42reporting a missing child when he found Maya.
00:35:44He lied to her about trying to find her family.
00:35:46Now, why would you do that?
00:35:48Your theory that Maya might be Stella Everett
00:35:50is looking more and more likely, boss.
00:35:55Reservation for Armstrong?
00:35:57Oh, yes.
00:35:58Mr. Armstrong called earlier
00:36:00and we have a special table for you.
00:36:05Please take a room.
00:36:06Thank you so much.
00:36:14Name?
00:36:16Do you not recognize her?
00:36:17I'm a Baldwin.
00:36:20Of course.
00:36:21Miss Baldwin.
00:36:24I'm sorry, I'm not seeing a reservation for Baldwin.
00:36:26Are you sure you have the right day?
00:36:28What part of I'm a Baldwin do you not get?
00:36:30I don't need a reservation.
00:36:32Sorry, ma'am.
00:36:33Would you like to make a reservation?
00:36:35I have availability for
00:36:37three months from now.
00:36:38I demand a table right now.
00:36:40It simply cannot be done.
00:36:42Excuse me.
00:36:45Can you believe this?
00:36:46Yeah, this is embarrassing.
00:36:48More for you than for me, though.
00:36:50Shut up, Brooks.
00:36:55Please tell your dining companion
00:36:56that we're happy to get you in at such a short notice.
00:36:59Thank you so much.
00:37:00Of course.
00:37:02How dare she?
00:37:03Wait, is that Maya?
00:37:05What the hell?
00:37:07How did she get in here?
00:37:09Does that skink have a sugar daddy now or something?
00:37:12Let's catch her in the act.
00:37:23Now we can finally expose Maya
00:37:24for what a cheap skink she is.
00:37:26She's so pathetic.
00:37:28She probably has some 90-year-old
00:37:29paying for her meal.
00:37:31Do you see her date anywhere?
00:37:32Are you looking for what to order right now?
00:37:34Yeah, I think I'll get the taco.
00:37:35Brooks, look for Maya's sugar daddy.
00:37:38God, do I have to do everything?
00:37:44Are you sure she's even meeting an old man?
00:37:46Please.
00:37:47Like she could get anyone
00:37:48who wasn't half-blind or demented.
00:37:54That cannot be who I think it is.
00:37:56Maya's meeting that guy.
00:37:58I don't know.
00:37:59That cannot be who I think it is.
00:38:01Maya's meeting that guy.
00:38:06He doesn't look half-blind or demented.
00:38:08Is that you, fucking Armstrong?
00:38:21Thanks for waiting.
00:38:23Of course.
00:38:27So what's good here?
00:38:29There is a lot of zeros.
00:38:32Only the best for my wife.
00:38:38How the hell did she get Ethan Armstrong?
00:38:40What makes him so amazing?
00:38:41Brooks, you dumbass.
00:38:43He's a billionaire business tycoon.
00:38:45He's even richer than the Everett family.
00:38:47What?
00:38:48Zero must make the Baldwins look like nothing.
00:38:51I swear he didn't.
00:38:52Shut up.
00:38:54Why the hell is he with that trashy skink?
00:38:58I don't know.
00:39:08You'll pay, Maya.
00:39:14You know, I actually know the chef here.
00:39:17We could just have him make us something special.
00:39:21That would be nice.
00:39:22Is there anything that you don't eat?
00:39:24No, I'm not picky.
00:39:26What about you?
00:39:27I eat pretty much everything.
00:39:29But nothing is as delicious as you are.
00:39:33Is that too much?
00:39:36It's delicious.
00:39:42Ethan.
00:39:52What the hell was that?
00:39:53I just wanted to show you what you were missing.
00:39:58Ugh.
00:40:02What the hell?
00:40:03You were acting like a cat in heat.
00:40:05I had to cool you off.
00:40:06My hair.
00:40:11Are you okay?
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:17What the hell?
00:40:18Get out of the way.
00:40:19Excuse me, miss.
00:40:20This table is reserved and don't come back.
00:40:23Was that Helena Jones, the famous actress?
00:40:26Yeah, it was.
00:40:28I can't believe Maya is dating a billionaire.
00:40:31Does this mean she won the breakup?
00:40:34She hasn't won yet, Brooks.
00:40:36I won't let her.
00:40:41Oh, you were so bad.
00:40:46I think, technically, that was our first date.
00:40:49Maybe it could have gone a little better.
00:40:53You're not mad that I threw water on her?
00:40:55Mad? No.
00:40:57A little turned on, maybe.
00:40:59Maya, that was pretty badass.
00:41:04Seems like she's not going to leave you alone.
00:41:06It doesn't matter.
00:41:08We've known each other since we were kids
00:41:10and not once have I ever been interested in her.
00:41:13And I never will be.
00:41:15Never?
00:41:16Never.
00:41:18Never dated or anything?
00:41:20Definitely not.
00:41:22She thinks her Teen Choice Award makes her irresistible,
00:41:25but that's not what I'm into.
00:41:29What are you into?
00:41:30You.
00:41:32Maya, how I feel about you
00:41:36is unlike anything I've ever felt before.
00:41:41So, no serious exes?
00:41:45You want to have that conversation?
00:41:47Yeah, why not?
00:41:49I mean, you know about Brooks.
00:41:50Fair.
00:41:51Though, I don't know how you ever dated a dumbass like that.
00:41:56Fair.
00:42:01I had this childhood friend once.
00:42:06When I was a child, I once had this friend that I thought I loved.
00:42:11At least as much as a ten-year-old can love someone.
00:42:16But it didn't work out.
00:42:18What happened?
00:42:20I grew up,
00:42:23met an amazing woman,
00:42:26got married,
00:42:28and was happy.
00:42:34I'm happy too.
00:42:36Let's go inside.
00:42:37That childhood friend you had,
00:42:40what was her name?
00:42:42Her name was Stella.
00:42:53Slut!
00:42:54What?
00:42:55We know you tried to steal Ethan from our Helena!
00:42:57What are you talking about?
00:42:58What are you talking about? What are you, stupid?
00:43:00You!
00:43:01You crashed that date because you're trying to get with Ethan, you gold-digging slut!
00:43:05Wait!
00:43:06We know you tried to hurt Helena because you dissed her!
00:43:08What are you talking about?
00:43:09Are you hungry?
00:43:10You're a threat!
00:43:11You're a threat!
00:43:13You know that he's hungry!
00:43:14You're worthless!
00:43:15He would never love you!
00:43:17Those two, I want them arrested for slander and assault.
00:43:21Are you okay?
00:43:23I'm so sorry.
00:43:30Articles say that you were on a date with your fiancee, Helena,
00:43:34and that Maya tried to crash the date.
00:43:36Where are they getting this bullshit?
00:43:37Everything was made worse when Helena confirmed it in a press conference.
00:43:40I'm sending you the video now.
00:43:42Is he really your fiancee?
00:43:44It's true.
00:43:45Even in Armstrong, he has my name.
00:43:49Who is this girl, Maya?
00:43:51Maya Moore is just some crazy fan who tried to ruin our anniversary dinner.
00:43:57I'm going to crush her.
00:44:05I'll handle this.
00:44:06I promise.
00:44:07And I'm sorry for this mess.
00:44:10It's not your fault.
00:44:11It's Helena's.
00:44:14I should get to the office.
00:44:16Wait.
00:44:17Take the day off.
00:44:18I'll take care of this.
00:44:19I can't just hide away from the rest of the world.
00:44:21I have to get out and do something.
00:44:23Get my mind off of it.
00:44:24Well, we do have an upcoming event for the Everett's.
00:44:27The company you're merging with?
00:44:28Yeah.
00:44:29I need to send you to a project off-site.
00:44:37Ms. Armstrong, I'm Juliette Auclair.
00:44:40The famous designer?
00:44:42Oh my gosh.
00:44:43Hi.
00:44:45Mr. Armstrong sent me here on a project for the Everett's.
00:44:48Yes.
00:44:49Your husband has asked me to dress you for the Everett gala.
00:45:06I need to find the perfect dress for the Everett gala.
00:45:09You can look great in anything, babe.
00:45:11Duh.
00:45:12But I want to impress Mr. Everett.
00:45:13The Baldwins need to secure some contracts with the Everett Corporation.
00:45:17You're so smart, babe.
00:45:19None of these dresses are right.
00:45:23I need something like...
00:45:26that.
00:45:31What the hell?
00:45:33You look amazing.
00:45:37What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:40What the hell did you get in here?
00:45:42How dare you get your dirty trailer park hands on Ms. Auclair's clothes.
00:45:45Ms. Auclair, I'm a huge fan.
00:45:47So I have to tell you that this peasant can't afford your clothes.
00:45:51She tried to get a sugar daddy, but he left her for Helena Jones.
00:45:54She's so poor, she once begged me and my boyfriend for money.
00:45:57Excuse me?
00:45:58Begged for money?
00:46:00For money?
00:46:01I collected the money I was owed for putting your useless boyfriend through law school.
00:46:04Useless?
00:46:06Not useless.
00:46:07Yeah, useless.
00:46:09Idiotic.
00:46:10Most people finish law school in three years,
00:46:12and he finished in five because he couldn't stop you in classes.
00:46:16This dress is made from very delicate fabric, Miss...
00:46:20Baldwin.
00:46:21Oh, a Baldwin.
00:46:22Yes, and I'd like to buy that dress.
00:46:26Well, I just chose this dress for Ms. Moore here.
00:46:30I'll buy it for five times what it's worth.
00:46:32Ms. Baldwin, it's $100,000.
00:46:34Yes, like I said, I'm a Baldwin.
00:46:37Wrap it up.
00:46:42Take off the dress.
00:46:56Thank you so much.
00:46:57If you think about it, I did you a favor.
00:46:59This dress is too high class for your trashy ass anyway.
00:47:06Oh, we're not done.
00:47:10Bet Savannah bought the dress.
00:47:12I'll let her buy it, because I have something even better for you.
00:47:17This is the Venus.
00:47:19The most coveted dress from my collection.
00:47:22Wow, it's gorgeous.
00:47:24Only one exists in the world, and I'm giving it to you.
00:47:27But why?
00:47:28A beautiful dress needs someone equally beautiful to wear it.
00:47:35Thank you so much.
00:47:37Now, go show that Baldwin bitch what's what.
00:47:42Mr. Armstrong, I sent over what you asked for.
00:47:44Thanks for the video, chef.
00:47:46Sir.
00:47:47Release the video and the press statement.
00:47:49Yes, sir.
00:47:52Elena, is it true?
00:47:53That Ethan and I are getting married?
00:47:55Yes, I can confirm.
00:47:56So you're going to keep lying then?
00:47:57Excuse me?
00:47:58So you're going to keep lying then?
00:48:00Excuse me?
00:48:01Ethan Armstrong just released a statement saying he's married to the woman whose date you crashed.
00:48:04I mean, that's not true.
00:48:05There has to be some kind of mistake.
00:48:07There is a mistake.
00:48:09I mean, that's not true.
00:48:10There has to be some kind of mistake.
00:48:11There is full video from the restaurant security camera.
00:48:13What do you have to say to the people who are calling you a pervert?
00:48:15A pervert?
00:48:16I'm not a pervert.
00:48:18Hello?
00:48:19Elena, it's your agent.
00:48:20Oh, thank God.
00:48:21You have to get me out of here.
00:48:22We're not on your payroll anymore.
00:48:23We're dropping you.
00:48:24What?
00:48:25You've also been dropped from all your upcoming film projects.
00:48:27What did you expect when you assaulted a billionaire tycoon?
00:48:29There must be something I can do.
00:48:30I suppose you could beg for Mr. Armstrong's forgiveness at the Everett Gala, but it's pretty much over, Elena.
00:48:35Sorry.
00:48:36Elena, what are you going to do now that your career is over?
00:48:42This is going on the front page.
00:48:45We're going to pay for this.
00:48:46Stop.
00:49:04Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?
00:49:08Only a few hundred times.
00:49:10I meant it every time.
00:49:17Sorry, I've got to take this.
00:49:18Will you be okay on your own for a bit?
00:49:20Yeah.
00:49:21I spawned at the dessert table, so we're good.
00:49:23I like your priorities.
00:49:25Save me some care, missy.
00:49:30Did you see her dress?
00:49:32That's the Juliette Auclair's Venus dress.
00:49:35I thought they only made one of those.
00:49:37Yeah, it's the most exclusive dress in the world.
00:49:39Wait, someone's wearing the Venus dress?
00:49:41Yeah, she went that way.
00:49:44What the hell?
00:49:45How did she even get in here?
00:49:46And why should Maya get to wear a famous one-of-a-kind dress?
00:50:01Oops, did I ruin your dress?
00:50:05Did I ruin your dress?
00:50:06No, it's a mess, just like you.
00:50:16Cheers.
00:50:25Alert Mr. Everett, someone's gone into his daughter's bedroom.
00:50:38You can't be in here.
00:50:39I'm sorry, I was just trying to clean my...
00:50:41What's your name?
00:50:42Maya Moore.
00:50:44You're not on the list.
00:50:45I came with someone.
00:50:46Real convenient.
00:50:47Mr. Everett is on his way.
00:50:48He can confirm your story or not.
00:50:50If he doesn't, I'm calling the police.
00:50:53You're hurting me.
00:50:54Let her go, Helen. It's alright.
00:50:57Thank you, sir.
00:51:02I'm sorry.
00:51:07You look very familiar.
00:51:09Oh, I don't think we've met before.
00:51:13You're probably right.
00:51:15I'm old, you know.
00:51:17I guess I've seen so many faces, I guess I just think I recognize them.
00:51:22Are you alright?
00:51:24Yeah.
00:51:26I'm okay.
00:51:28I'm sorry I came in here when I'm not supposed to.
00:51:31I was cleaning my dress.
00:51:33Well, you...
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:36I was cleaning my dress.
00:51:38Well, you...
00:51:40No, that won't do at all, will it?
00:51:42Juliette Auclair at that.
00:51:44You recognize her?
00:51:45Yes, yes.
00:51:46Truth be told, I was subjected to many long rants about fashion and designers from my late daughter.
00:51:57I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:52:00Well, thank you, dear.
00:52:01You know that she was one of Juliette Auclair's first customers.
00:52:24An Auclair for an Auclair.
00:52:28Are you sure?
00:52:29It's your daughter's.
00:52:30Oh, yes, yes.
00:52:31And she would love nothing more than to see a lovely dress be seen on a lovely lady.
00:52:39Thank you, sir.
00:52:57Are you okay, sir?
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:04You look so much like my daughter.
00:53:09Thank you for letting me wear it.
00:53:13Mr. Everett, it's time for your speech.
00:53:22Thank you for being so kind.
00:53:25Well, I wonder if maybe you could return the favor?
00:53:29Will you accompany an old gentleman to his party?
00:53:33Of course.
00:53:46Where is Maya?
00:53:47Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our host for the evening, Mr. Everett.
00:54:01Babe, what the hell?
00:54:02What the hell is that skank with Mr. Everett?
00:54:05Is she now trying to trap him into being a sugar daddy?
00:54:07What a slut.
00:54:09Are you really going to talk about Mrs. Armstrong like that?
00:54:12Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:14Mrs. Armstrong?
00:54:16Isn't he with Helena Jones?
00:54:18No.
00:54:19Ethan Armstrong released a statement that his wife is actually Maya Moore.
00:54:22Helena Jones lied about their relationship.
00:54:25So pathetic.
00:54:26How do you not know?
00:54:28What kind of corporate heiress does he make treats?
00:54:30The Baldwins really have fallen.
00:54:36Ma'am, you are making a scene. This is a nice event.
00:54:39If it's so nice, then how do you let trash like her in?
00:54:41All right, you are coming with me.
00:54:42Excuse me? Do you know who I am?
00:54:45All right, you are coming with me.
00:54:46Excuse me? Do you know who I am?
00:54:49Run!
00:54:53Well, thank you for accompanying me.
00:54:58It was my pleasure.
00:55:00Well, that dress was made for you.
00:55:13Did you switch dates?
00:55:15I had a wardrobe malfunction.
00:55:17He let me borrow his daughter's dress.
00:55:20That means that he likes you a lot.
00:55:23That will come in handy later.
00:55:25Why is that?
00:55:27You'll see.
00:55:34Ethan, I figured by that gleam in your eye that this must be your new bride.
00:55:39Yes, this is Maya Moore.
00:55:41Maya, meet Grandpa.
00:55:43Grandpa?
00:55:45Not by blood, but he's a family friend that helped raise me.
00:55:50Unfortunately, this is what we got.
00:55:52He's kind of a rascal, isn't he?
00:55:56But I think I must have done something right,
00:55:58because you certainly know how to pick the most graceful ladies for your wife.
00:56:04Well, I'm glad you like her, because you'll be spending a lot more time together during the merger.
00:56:10Maya is my new executive assistant.
00:56:14Oh, that's wonderful!
00:56:16Oh, I look forward to all of us working together now.
00:56:19I look forward to working with you.
00:56:22Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to see some old friends, all right?
00:56:25Enjoy your evening.
00:56:27Mademoiselle...
00:56:29No, Madame Armstrong.
00:56:34New executive assistant? When did that happen?
00:56:37Tonight.
00:56:39That calls for a little celebration.
00:56:41When did that happen?
00:56:42Tonight.
00:56:44That call I took earlier was confirmation that the paperwork went through.
00:56:48I am grateful for the opportunity.
00:56:51But why?
00:56:53Because you're smart,
00:56:56and hardworking,
00:56:58and you're beautiful.
00:57:02Now I don't think that last one is appropriate for the office, Mr. Armstrong.
00:57:07Wait until you hear about the benefits.
00:57:11Oh.
00:57:14Sorry, I've got to take this.
00:57:17Work at the CEO never stops.
00:57:19Sorry.
00:57:22Okay, absolutely, thank you for your diligence.
00:57:25Great, thanks for the update.
00:57:27I need to talk to you.
00:57:30I've said everything I need to say to the press.
00:57:32So you're going to ruin my life over some random whore?
00:57:34You better watch what you say,
00:57:36because I'll happily ruin your life for a second time if you continue to insult her.
00:57:40It's always been like this.
00:57:42Ever since we were kids, I mean, I'm always the one that wanted to be with you,
00:57:45and you only ever wanted to be with Stella Everett.
00:57:48And now she's gone, and you want to be with some random no-name?
00:57:51I mean, what is wrong with me?
00:57:53I'm perfect for you.
00:57:55Maya is perfect for me.
00:57:57I'm done with this conversation.
00:57:59Stella or Maya?
00:58:01Yeah, I wonder which one you'd choose.
00:58:04Wait.
00:58:05Does Maya even know about Stella Everett?
00:58:11Keep interfering with my marriage, Helena,
00:58:14and I'll do a lot more than just ruin your reputation.
00:58:20I swear I'm going to pay for this.
00:58:23I think we have a lot in common.
00:58:25Who are you?
00:58:26Someone who also wants to end Maya Moore and Nathan Armstrong.
00:58:30Now why don't you tell me everything there is to know about Stella Everett?
00:58:40Are you ready for your first day as an executive assistant?
00:58:44I think so.
00:58:48Have you been drinking champagne?
00:58:50Shut up.
00:58:56Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Moore.
00:58:58I'm excited to have you here. Please.
00:59:00Oh, and congratulations, Ms. Moore, on your first day.
00:59:02Thank you, Mr. Everett.
00:59:04This is Carol Smith and Daniel Miller, our heads of marketing.
00:59:07This is Nathan Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong.
00:59:09Oh, we know exactly who you are, Mr. Armstrong. It's such an honor.
00:59:13So great to work with you.
00:59:15And this is Maya Moore, Ethan's executive assistant.
00:59:18Yeah, hi.
00:59:21Do you know who she is?
00:59:24Do you know who she is?
00:59:25She's my new executive assistant.
00:59:27Very new, so I'm excited to learn from you both.
00:59:30Well, let's just hope you can keep up.
00:59:34The campaign for the Everett-Armstrong merger is very important and requires expertise, so why don't you take notes?
00:59:41Sure.
00:59:43The biggest issue right now is how to show our respective customers why this merger is a good thing for them.
00:59:48We don't want any of our customers to think they're losing out on any Armstrong or Everett products that they've been loyal to for so many years.
00:59:55Exactly. So how do we rule out this news to our customer base and alleviate their fears?
01:00:01I say keep it simple.
01:00:03We sent out a mass email to all of our customers letting them know that, yes, the merger is happening, but nothing will change.
01:00:12No, no, no, that's wrong. Where is the personal touch?
01:00:16You know, the Everett Corporation is known for customer service, and what you're talking about is none of that.
01:00:20Besides, nothing will change is inaccurate.
01:00:22We'll continue to make the same great products, of course, but what about the excitement for the future?
01:00:28How about a one-time discount for our current customers that'll be done right after the announcement is made?
01:00:35Now, if the customers are happy, they can't be worried.
01:00:38So like a bribe?
01:00:40Well...
01:00:41Again, it undermines the value of the merger.
01:00:44Yes, I had to suggest that whenever our customers have an issue, we'll just throw money at it rather than come up with a real solution.
01:00:52Um, if it's alright, I have an idea.
01:00:58If it's alright, I have an idea.
01:01:01You. Please.
01:01:03Let her talk. You and Daniels haven't come up with anything yet, so let's see what you have to say, kid.
01:01:09How about we do a customer ambassador program?
01:01:12Interesting. Tell me more.
01:01:15So we invite a group of our loyal customers from both companies and invite them to be insiders on the merger.
01:01:21They'll have special access to behind-the-scenes content, exclusive updates, and early access to new products.
01:01:28And if they share their experiences via social media, it could generate a lot of positive vibes.
01:01:34Which you can also use in other marketing efforts like ads and customer testimonials.
01:01:39You're brilliant.
01:01:41I agree.
01:01:43Okay, let's go with Maya's plan.
01:01:51Maya, you were absolutely incredible today.
01:01:54Thank you, Mr. Everett.
01:01:57Can I convince you to go have a meal?
01:02:00I have a meeting with a vendor across town. How about just you and Maya eat together?
01:02:07That okay?
01:02:08Yeah, of course.
01:02:09Yeah, that sounds great.
01:02:10Okay.
01:02:11See you later.
01:02:15Well, are you hungry? My personal chef is on call.
01:02:18I don't want to make any fuss. What do you normally eat?
01:02:21Oh, well, that's kind of a strange one.
01:02:24I like chocolate cereal with orange juice and hot milk.
01:02:28Are you being serious?
01:02:30I like that too.
01:02:32Get out of here. I don't know anybody who likes that but me.
01:02:36I love it. Let's do that.
01:02:38Okay.
01:02:44It's so good.
01:02:45I'm shocked, you know, that you like this stuff.
01:02:47Everybody else would say I'm crazy.
01:02:49My foster father thought it was disgusting too.
01:02:52Foster father?
01:02:54You're adopted?
01:02:56Yeah, when I was ten.
01:02:58I'm sorry.
01:02:59At such a young age, it must be really difficult to handle.
01:03:02Well, I'm actually not sure.
01:03:05My foster father found me wandering around with no memory.
01:03:08The only memory I had is that I was ten years old.
01:03:12And that I like chocolate cereal and orange juice.
01:03:15If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now?
01:03:21If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now?
01:03:24I'm 27.
01:03:26Hello?
01:03:28Alright, I'll be right there.
01:03:31I'm sorry, Mr. Everett.
01:03:33The bank just called and there's some kind of issue.
01:03:35It's fine. Go ahead.
01:03:37We'll have some more cereal and orange juice later.
01:03:40Sounds good.
01:03:41Yeah.
01:03:4927.
01:03:54Going somewhere?
01:03:55What?
01:03:57Was it the bank?
01:03:59Ms. Moore, please hurry. There's an issue with your savings account.
01:04:02So you lured me out here.
01:04:04What do you want?
01:04:05I just have some information on your husband that I think you might want to hear.
01:04:09Why should I trust you?
01:04:11You're a liar.
01:04:12Yeah, maybe.
01:04:14But this information can't be verified.
01:04:17Did you not think to search up Ethan and his past?
01:04:20No, but I trust him.
01:04:24So you know all about Stella Everett?
01:04:28So you know all about Stella Everett?
01:04:30I know that they were childhood friends.
01:04:33I guess he had a crush on her.
01:04:35It was much more than a crush.
01:04:37I mean, they were engaged.
01:04:40Then she disappeared and Ethan was devastated.
01:04:45Why do you think a catch like him has been single all these years?
01:04:48Why do you think his grandmother had to practically force him to get married?
01:04:53I just...
01:04:54Because he's been looking for Stella this whole time.
01:04:58He only settled for you so that he could merge with her family's company.
01:05:03Your marriage only exists because he loves Stella.
01:05:08And he always will be.
01:05:10But I just wanted to let you know.
01:05:12Girl to girl.
01:05:18Nice work.
01:05:23What do you mean you haven't seen her?
01:05:25Find my wife.
01:05:29Where have you been?
01:05:31Grandpa said you left work hours ago.
01:05:33Yeah, grandpa.
01:05:35Do you call him that because in your mind you're married to Stella Everett?
01:05:40What?
01:05:41Is it true that you've been in love with Stella Everett your entire life?
01:05:44And the only reason you married me was to lock in the merger with the Everett Corporation?
01:05:48You know how our marriage started.
01:05:50And you know that how I feel about you now is real.
01:05:53Do I?
01:05:54Am I the only way you can tie yourself to her?
01:05:56The merger may have been an ode to someone I care about.
01:05:59But that doesn't mean I don't love you.
01:06:02Maya.
01:06:05I love you.
01:06:07Or am I just some placeholder for a girl that you will never have?
01:06:10You're not. I swear.
01:06:12How am I supposed to live up to a girl you've been in love with your entire life?
01:06:16Maya, please. You do.
01:06:18Even I am never going to be Stella Everett.
01:06:21But you might actually be Stella Everett.
01:06:30What?
01:06:35When we were 10 years old, Stella disappeared.
01:06:38Kidnapped, probably.
01:06:40Grandpa and I never saw her again.
01:06:44Until 17 years ago in June.
01:06:48That's the same exact time Maya disappeared.
01:06:50No. Come on.
01:06:51Maya, you look just like her.
01:06:54When you were 10 years old, you were an orphan who lost her memory.
01:06:58Your foster father? He never actually filed a child's report.
01:07:01I wouldn't be surprised if he...
01:07:03Just stop!
01:07:04This is all way too much.
01:07:06I just cannot believe that.
01:07:12Then you need something irrefutable.
01:07:15Let's take a DNA test.
01:07:18What if I refuse?
01:07:20What if I refuse?
01:07:22What?
01:07:24What if I don't want to take a DNA test?
01:07:27What if I just want to be Maya Moore for the rest of my life?
01:07:30Not Maya Moore might be Stella Everett.
01:07:33I just want to be Maya, the lonely orphan, Moore.
01:07:41Then I would be okay with that.
01:07:43Really?
01:07:45I promise.
01:07:47As long as you can still be Maya Armstrong.
01:07:51Not because I might be Stella Everett?
01:07:54No, because I know you're Maya Moore.
01:07:58And she's the only woman I want to be my wife.
01:08:05I'll stop digging.
01:08:07And I promise to never mention the DNA test again.
01:08:12Actually, let's do it.
01:08:15Really?
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:18Now that I know we're good no matter what,
01:08:22let's find out if I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:08:27Hello?
01:08:28Would you like to accept a collect call from the county jail?
01:08:30What?
01:08:31I swear, Brooks is in trouble.
01:08:34Yes, I'll accept the call.
01:08:35One moment.
01:08:39Am I speaking to one of the Bulbas?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42Who are you?
01:08:43How did you get this number?
01:08:44I'm an old friend of the family's.
01:08:45Well, that has nothing to do with me, so bye.
01:08:48Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang up, hang up.
01:08:50You don't want to hang up on me.
01:08:51I mean, you don't want to lose everything you've got, do you?
01:08:53Who the hell are you?
01:08:55I'm the guy your family paid to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:02I'm the guy your family paid to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:09:06I guess you knew about the family secret, huh?
01:09:08I don't know anything about that.
01:09:11Got the bullshit, sweetheart.
01:09:13You can't con a con.
01:09:14But, you know, I can keep my mouth shut.
01:09:16In exchange for what?
01:09:18Stella's husband threw me in jail, so I need somebody to come out and bail me out.
01:09:21Stella's husband?
01:09:23She's alive?
01:09:24Oh, she's more than alive.
01:09:25She is living a grand life.
01:09:27She's married to Ethan Armstrong.
01:09:31Maya Moore is Stella Everett?
01:09:33Yep.
01:09:34Can you imagine what would happen to your business if Mr. Armstrong finds out?
01:09:38Lose everything.
01:09:39Exactly.
01:09:40So, why don't you just head over to the county jail and bring some cash?
01:09:46Fine.
01:09:47I'll be there soon.
01:09:52Ugh!
01:09:53This could ruin everything!
01:09:57How am I going to make sure that this never gets out?
01:10:01Maya Moore can never figure out that she's Stella Everett, but how?
01:10:08Get me a meeting with Mr. Everett immediately.
01:10:11Tell him I have some information about his granddaughter.
01:10:17So, I think we should just go in there and tell Grandpa everything from the beginning.
01:10:21And then we can ask if he'll take a DNA test.
01:10:25You ready?
01:10:28I'm ready.
01:10:33I'll be right with you, Ms. Baldwin.
01:10:46Ms. Baldwin.
01:10:47You came as soon as I heard.
01:10:48What information do you have about Stella?
01:10:51Does it have anything to do with Maya?
01:10:52Have some tea first.
01:10:53Mr. Everett, we need to stay calm.
01:10:56This will help.
01:11:09Hey, Grandpa?
01:11:11You in here?
01:11:12Ethan, look.
01:11:17Call 911, quick!
01:11:21What's the running tests?
01:11:22So, at this moment, we don't know what caused Mr. Everett's coma.
01:11:26Will he pull through?
01:11:28It's too soon to say.
01:11:30There was one thing he wanted before he died, and that was to find his granddaughter.
01:11:36Would it be possible to run a DNA test?
01:11:38Not without his consent.
01:11:40Besides, isn't his granddaughter already with him?
01:11:43What are you talking about?
01:11:45What are you talking about?
01:11:46She's in there with him right now.
01:11:57Ethan, it's been a while.
01:12:01Stella?
01:12:04Stella?
01:12:08You're not still shy.
01:12:10His face used to get so red when I would hug him as a kid.
01:12:14Oh, I'm sorry. Who are you?
01:12:16Maya.
01:12:17Maya Moore.
01:12:18I'm Stella Everett. It's nice to meet you.
01:12:20Maya's my wife.
01:12:23Oh!
01:12:24Wow.
01:12:26Did our marriage under the yellow swing set mean nothing to you?
01:12:29How did you know about that?
01:12:30Of course I remember.
01:12:32I think your vows were something like,
01:12:34I promise to give you a lollipop every day.
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:38They were.
01:12:42Maya.
01:12:45Maya.
01:12:50Maya.
01:12:53I want to end this.
01:12:57What?
01:12:59This insecurity I have with us.
01:13:02I know it's a big deal for you to find Stella.
01:13:05But I love you.
01:13:07And I don't want to lose you.
01:13:09Maya, you're not going to lose me.
01:13:12I love you.
01:13:13And no one can change that.
01:13:15Not Stella Everett.
01:13:17Not anybody.
01:13:25Are you okay?
01:13:27I can't say I'm not disappointed.
01:13:30I mean, for a second I thought I was actually going to find my real family.
01:13:34I don't know.
01:13:35There's something off about Stella.
01:13:38But she knows all the details from your past with her.
01:13:41She does.
01:13:43And it's spooky accurate.
01:13:45But, still.
01:13:51Hello?
01:13:52Boss, Stella Everett is giving a live interview right now.
01:13:55What?
01:13:56I'm sending you a link.
01:13:58I am Stella Everett.
01:14:00Heiress to the Everett Corporation.
01:14:03Back from the dead.
01:14:04Back from the dead.
01:14:06Miss Everett, where have you been all these years?
01:14:09I was kidnapped and taken abroad.
01:14:12I was rescued by the local authorities a few weeks ago.
01:14:15What are you most looking forward to now that you're back?
01:14:17Well, there's an old treehouse on the Everett property that I'd like to go and revisit.
01:14:20My friends and I used to tell scary stories there at night.
01:14:22It's a good thing you used to stalk Ethan and Stella when you were a kid.
01:14:25Shut up.
01:14:26It's a compliment.
01:14:28You trained Stella well.
01:14:29You're right.
01:14:31God, I mean, I should be a director.
01:14:34It's good to be back.
01:14:36This is some of my finest work.
01:14:38So, mission accomplished.
01:14:40Let's get out of here.
01:14:42She knows a lot of details.
01:14:46She seems like the real deal.
01:14:48How are you?
01:14:50Emotionally exhausted.
01:14:51Why don't you get some sleep and I'll drive us home.
01:15:05Is that Helena and Savannah?
01:15:10Hey, look into all of Stella's claims and find out what Helena Jones and Savannah Baldwin have been up to recently.
01:15:17Alright, got it.
01:15:19Thanks.
01:15:22What are you doing here?
01:15:23Well, I came to see my fiancé, of course.
01:15:25You know I'm married.
01:15:26I'm just messing around, Ethan.
01:15:28I didn't expect you to hold on to a 20-year-old engagement ring.
01:15:31It did mean a lot to me at the time, though.
01:15:35Do you know that I kept the ring pop that you proposed with?
01:15:37I put it in my jewelry box.
01:15:40I thought about you every day.
01:15:42I couldn't wait to get back to you, Ethan.
01:15:45I'm in love with my wife and nothing is going to change that.
01:15:50Well, we'll see.
01:15:53We're going to be working together a lot now that I'm taking over the Everett Corporation.
01:15:56We'll see.
01:15:57We're going to be working together a lot now that I'm taking over the Everett Corporation.
01:16:01Will you?
01:16:03Who better to be Grandpa's successor than his granddaughter?
01:16:05You're right.
01:16:06So we should run the DNA test.
01:16:08Well, since Grandpa's in a coma, he can't consent to a DNA test.
01:16:13So you'll just have to take my testimony.
01:16:15Plus, I know all about the treehouse and the hidden nook in the Everett Library.
01:16:19So does Helena Jones, incidentally.
01:16:22She used to follow Stella and me around as kids.
01:16:24Oh, yeah, I remember Helena.
01:16:26She was super weird.
01:16:28Also, Grandpa's will stipulates that any Stella Everett trying to take over his company requires a DNA test.
01:16:33His lawyers have his written approval on hand for those particular circumstances.
01:16:37So, are you ready to take the test?
01:16:40Well...
01:16:42Or do you want to change your story?
01:16:50Helena!
01:16:51Always nice to see you.
01:16:54Enough of the sarcastic pleasantries.
01:16:56On the phone, you said that you could help me get my career back.
01:16:59No, I said I wanted to talk to you about your career.
01:17:02Mostly because I believe it's about to get even worse.
01:17:04Excuse me?
01:17:05I can see the headlines now.
01:17:07From the big screen to a tiny little jail cell.
01:17:10I don't have to listen to this nonsense.
01:17:12Your Stella Everett imposter has already turned on you.
01:17:14She's given her sworn statement to the police.
01:17:17But I might be able to help you in exchange for some information.
01:17:23Tell me everything you know about Savannah Baldwin's involvement.
01:17:29No! No! No! No!
01:17:33Ah, my father-in-law.
01:17:36We have got to stop meeting like this.
01:17:46Are you okay?
01:17:47Yeah.
01:17:49I have something to tell you.
01:17:53Helena and Savannah hired an imposter to pose as Stella Everett.
01:17:56What?
01:17:58Apparently, Stella was an old actress friend of Helena's.
01:18:02She coached her.
01:18:04God, why are they so crazy?
01:18:07I know, but there's more.
01:18:10We found your foster dad.
01:18:12I thought he was in jail.
01:18:14Savannah posted his bail.
01:18:16Why would she do that?
01:18:18He blackmailed her.
01:18:20He threatened to come out with the information that the Baldwins hired him to kidnap Stella Everett.
01:18:25Which is...
01:18:27you.
01:18:30So it's true.
01:18:32I'm actually Stella Everett.
01:18:34You are.
01:18:36The Baldwins hired Pete after your parents passed away.
01:18:39They thought that if Grandpa suffered another loss,
01:18:42the grief would cause the Everett stock price to drop,
01:18:45and they'd buy it up and take over the company.
01:18:48Which obviously didn't happen.
01:18:51What about my memory?
01:18:53Pete said when you tried to escape, you hit your head.
01:18:56When he realized that you didn't remember anything, he hid it from the police,
01:19:00and he told you he adopted you.
01:19:04I can't believe this.
01:19:07Thank you for finding out the truth.
01:19:11What happened to Pete, Helene, and Savannah?
01:19:14Pete and Helene are in police custody.
01:19:16Savannah's on the run.
01:19:18Don't worry, though.
01:19:20The Baldwin bank accounts are frozen.
01:19:22So she can't get far.
01:19:34Savannah?
01:19:35I need to talk to you.
01:19:38Savannah?
01:19:39I need you to get me out of the country.
01:19:41How do you expect me to do that?
01:19:43I've given you hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts.
01:19:45Sell them, and we can pay someone to sneak us out.
01:19:48Us? I don't want to leave.
01:19:50We have no choice.
01:19:51I have a choice, though.
01:19:53I'm breaking up with you.
01:19:55And I'm keeping the presents.
01:19:57What?
01:19:58I've done everything for you.
01:20:00I didn't ask you to do that.
01:20:03This is all that bitch Maya's fault.
01:20:06I swear I'll make her pay for this.
01:20:21Thank you all for coming today to the announcement for the Armstrong Everett merger.
01:20:27I would like to thank someone who's played an integral part in the rollout of this merger.
01:20:32Maya Moore.
01:20:34She's developed our customer ambassador program, which will carry our customers with us into this new era.
01:20:40I'll let her tell you more about it.
01:20:44Hello.
01:20:45I'm Maya Moore.
01:20:48Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's some backwoods hick in the middle of nowhere.
01:20:52This is my wife, and you will show her respect.
01:20:55Well, that explains how she got the job.
01:20:57Just because you marry up doesn't mean you're not some classless loser.
01:21:00God, that gold digger is pathetic.
01:21:03Get this nobody off the stage.
01:21:06She's not a nobody.
01:21:08This is my granddaughter, Stella Everett.
01:21:16Grandpa, you're okay.
01:21:17Once my heart told me that you were the one, my true granddaughter,
01:21:20there was nothing that was going to stop me from marrying you.
01:21:23I'm sorry.
01:21:24I'm sorry.
01:21:25I'm sorry.
01:21:26I'm sorry.
01:21:27I'm sorry.
01:21:28I'm sorry.
01:21:29I'm sorry.
01:21:30I'm sorry.
01:21:31I'm sorry.
01:21:32I'm sorry.
01:21:33I'm sorry.
01:21:34There was nothing that was going to stop me from getting better.
01:21:41Mr. Everett, how do you know she's your granddaughter?
01:21:43Another woman was just impersonating Stella Everett?
01:21:49I have her DNA test.
01:21:52We'll send this to the doctor so that we can run a DNA test as soon as Grandpa wakes up.
01:21:59Maya Moore is my granddaughter.
01:22:04Congratulations.
01:22:26Where am I?
01:22:29In the middle of nowhere.
01:22:31It took your husband 17 years to find you the first time.
01:22:34You think he'll be any quicker this time around?
01:22:40Hey, have you seen Maya?
01:22:42No, not in a while.
01:22:44I don't like this.
01:22:49Hello?
01:22:50Looking for your little wife?
01:22:52Where the hell is she?
01:22:53She's safe.
01:22:54For now.
01:22:55You lay a single hand on her, I swear.
01:22:57Enough with the theatrics.
01:22:59Your wife will be safe and sound if you give me $10 million in cash.
01:23:03But I'd hurry if I were you.
01:23:05She gets us safe and sound for every hour that goes by.
01:23:20Why are you doing this to me?
01:23:22Shut up.
01:23:23I didn't do anything to you.
01:23:26You took everything from me.
01:23:28My life was perfect before you, Maya Moore.
01:23:31The choices you and your family made is why your life is ruined, not me.
01:23:36You don't know anything, damn whore.
01:23:40God, I can't even look at you, it makes me sick.
01:23:44Please.
01:23:46Please stop.
01:23:49If I want my money, I just can't get you.
01:23:53But I can still mess with that face.
01:23:57Get off.
01:24:01Are you all right?
01:24:03Yeah.
01:24:05Just a second.
01:24:07Maya, Maya.
01:24:17Maya.
01:24:19What happened?
01:24:20You passed out after we rescued you from Savannah.
01:24:23Savannah?
01:24:24It's okay.
01:24:26The police got her.
01:24:27She's going to rot for the rest of her life like she deserves.
01:24:31Can we go home?
01:24:32Let's just talk to the doctor first.
01:24:34I want to make sure you're okay.
01:24:40She's more than okay.
01:24:43She's pregnant.
01:24:49A new heir after the Everson Armstrongs.
01:24:53How wonderful.
01:24:56Yeah.
