00:00Babe? I'm home!
00:10Guess what? I'm in the running for another Pulitzer.
00:16Jim?
00:21Jim, what the fuck? You're cheating on me?
00:26With my best friend.
00:30Best friend? Please. If it weren't for Jim, I wouldn't even waste a minute on you.
00:38Don't make a scene in my house, Lois. I want a real wife, not someone chasing after a dead-end career.
00:44Maybe if you paid attention to Jim, honey, then you'd realize what he really needs.
00:48Cut the crap, bitch. My career is part of who I am. I bust my ass for everything that I've achieved.
00:54I even cover your rent, Stella. This is how you repay me? A knife in my back.
01:04The hell with your fucking career!
01:07Stop! You're insane!
01:09Get off me!
01:10Get off me!
01:17You're worthless to me, Lois. Sign this and stay the hell out of my life. And don't ever come back to this house. My house!
01:29Gladly, you heartless bastard. Marrying you was the worst decision of my life. You should have stayed with my ex.
01:36Who, Lois? Clark? Please. You're just a nobody. And he's a Hollywood superstar now. He doesn't want you.
01:46That's a good girl. Don't worry, we'll make sure to save you a proper seat at our wedding.
01:53You know what? I hope you both rot in hell!
02:01Yeah, she's getting a divorce.
02:03That scumbag cheated on her.
02:04Got it. She's our friend, Barney.
02:06Let her stay until my place is ready.
02:08Understood.
02:11Barney's been a good friend. Even after I broke up with Clark. He'll let me stay.
02:19Oh my god, Lois, what happened?
02:22It's Jim. He... he cheated and he kicked me out and...
02:27Barney, I don't have anywhere else to go. Can I please stay with you tonight? I... look, I promise. I promise I'll find somewhere else to stay tomorrow, okay?
02:34Come on in.
02:39Take as long as you need.
02:42Jim wasn't husband material. I'm so glad you're done with him.
02:47How's our A-lister doing?
02:49You miss him?
02:51No, no. I'm just curious. I mean...
02:54Actually, Lois, he's um...
03:04What?
03:13Clark? My ex-boyfriend? He's here?
03:26Oh my god, Clark! What are you doing here?
03:31Can't a guy surprise his girl?
03:34No.
03:40So, how was the show?
03:42It was good. It ran longer than I expected, which is why I moved away.
03:46Listen, I want to just say thank you for supporting me in my dream. I know that you're working really hard to keep us going.
03:55Hey, when you make it big, I'll just be counting on you to make it up to me.
04:01I'm okay with that.
04:04Okay.
04:11So, how's Clark doing?
04:15Clark's mom is sick, and her treatment is expensive. I think he needs our help.
04:20Yeah, I mean, of course. I'll do anything I can to help. Actually, I was thinking that you might...
04:25That's the thing. A big agency wants to sign Clark. This could be his big break.
04:30Barney, that's incredible! I mean, this could change everything for him!
04:34The agency has this policy. They only sign actors who are single.
04:39So, if you really love him, now's the time to decide.
04:51Happy anniversary, beautiful.
04:53Listen, Clark. We're done.
04:59Where'd you get this ring?
05:01I found it for someone else.
05:05I thought you loved me.
05:09If you really love him, now's the time to decide.
05:12What did you expect, Clark? You're just a struggling actor. But Jim? Jim's rich.
05:17He could give me the life that you never could.
05:19What? Jim? Like Jim Kirby? That snobbish rich asshole who just flaunts his wealth in front of everyone?
05:26Lois, you're better than that!
05:28This is not up for discussion, Clark. We're done.
05:34We're done.
05:59Clark's here to run over a few blockbuster projects with me.
06:03Hi.
06:06It appears you have company. I'll see you at the office tomorrow.
06:13I mean, who can blame him? Gave up the one guy I truly loved and now he's the biggest star in the country.
06:26And here I am.
06:28Kicked out by a cheater and a liar and a jerk.
06:36Way to go, Lois.
06:49Kane! You are late! Or have you forgotten you're not the big shot journalist you used to be?
06:55Is that alcohol I smell?
06:58I'm so sorry, boss. It was...
07:07There. That should help.
07:09By the way, I'm sending you back down to the entertainment desk.
07:12That department is on the chopping block and I could use someone who can handle a diva actor.
07:17Last chance, Kane. Don't screw this up.
07:20Listen up, everyone. This is Lois Kane, your newest team member.
07:26Wow, wow, wow. Look who it is.
07:31She's my new boss?
07:33I know you all have heard the rumors about the billionaire acquiring our magazine. Brace yourselves. Buckle up.
07:40Iris doing it for his first love. I wonder who the lucky girl is.
07:43Lost your dad, lost your man, and now you're about to lose your job, too? Must be tough, huh?
07:53And once I charm the new boss, you'll be out of here for good.
08:00I'm the new boss. You'll be out of here for good.
08:14Damn it, Stella!
08:16Press conference in ten. You're covering it. Oh, and don't be late or you're fired.
08:22Wait, ten minutes? But who's he gonna...
08:24Owen, he's a handful.
08:26Good luck with that.
08:35First at Barney's place, and now here?
08:38First at Barney's place, and now here?
08:42Why do I keep running into him?
08:45Hello? Ground Control to Major Kane?
08:50I apologize, Mr. Cavill. Sorry, can you repeat the question?
08:57Hello?
08:59I apologize, Mr. Cavill. Sorry, can you repeat the question?
09:03My question was, what do you think the theme of love is in notebooks?
09:08You're an entertainment journalist, so I figured you'd have some good insights, right?
09:14Right, of course, yes.
09:16The main characters, they go through a rough relationship, and their love goes through...
09:22Their emotions are high and low. Their love...
09:27This all sounds pretty generic to me, don't you think?
09:30Maybe you don't know what true love is, or miss the point of it entirely.
09:39Is it just me, or does Clark have it out for her?
09:43Why is she so upset? Is she trying to seduce Clark or something?
09:47Definitely some tension there. I've never seen him like this.
09:51I appreciate your advice.
09:53If I may, it's clear Miss Kane is completely unprofessional.
10:01She's nothing but an amateur who can't even recognize the genius of Mr. Cavill.
10:05Mr. Cavill, let's get this incompetent reporter out of here!
10:11Don't touch her!
10:15Don't touch her!
10:17Close.
10:19Everyone, the press conference is over. Thank you for your time.
10:23What the hell are you doing, Clark?
10:28Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate your understanding. Mr. Cavill will take further questions at a later time.
10:34The press conference is over.
10:42Are you trying to ruin your career?
10:45If they go digging into our past...
10:57Since when do you care about my career?
11:00I thought you only cared about finding a rich guy.
11:03It still hurts to think about you now.
11:05The way you just ditched me for that jerk!
11:08Clark, I...
11:10You played me for years, from high school through college.
11:14I guess you really are just a gold digger in the end.
11:17Please, please Clark, let me go.
11:19I've been waiting a long time for this.
11:22Lois.
11:34Lois.
11:42I am not letting you get away this time.
11:50God, did we really just kiss?
11:53Listen up everyone. Big, huge news.
11:57Our magazine's been acquired and our new boss is on the way to meet us.
12:01So let's get it together and make a stellar first impression.
12:06Oh, and Lois, maybe try to look a little more presentable.
12:12No wonder your husband cheated.
12:14Excuse me?
12:16Save it. Go to the storage room and bring out all the old awards.
12:19We need to show our accomplishments off.
12:32Oh, sweet Lois.
12:34Let's wait until the superstar sees this fake article you posted.
12:39Say goodbye to your career, Lois Pulitzer Kane.
12:51What the hell?
12:54Hello?
12:56Hello? Anyone out there? Hello?
12:59Oh, God.
13:01Oh, God.
13:05Please, no.
13:09Oh, God.
13:11Please.
13:13Stop, please, no.
13:15Lois. Lois. Hey.
13:17Lois.
13:19Look at me.
13:21Hey, it's okay.
13:23I'm right here with you.
13:25Breathe with me.
13:27That's it.
13:29You're okay.
13:38Is that Clark Katzel?
13:40With Lois?
13:42I told you they had a thing.
13:49Oh, my God, Lois.
13:51You didn't.
13:53What's happening?
13:54What's happening?
13:56Lois Kane, you're under arrest for libel and defamation.
14:00What? That's insane. I didn't write that.
14:05Lois Kane, you're under arrest for libel and defamation.
14:09What? That's insane. I didn't write that.
14:12I am so sorry, Mr. Cavilla. I had no idea Lois would stoop this low.
14:19You know I would never.
14:21Save it for the judges.
14:22Let go. No.
14:24Wait, let her go.
14:26No, I said let her go.
14:28I said let her go.
14:30I've already handled this.
14:32Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement.
14:35As of today, Clark Cavill is the new owner of Daily Globe.
14:40Holy shit, he's my boss now?
14:44And, as the new owner, I will make sure that this gets thoroughly investigated.
14:48As the new owner, I will make sure that this gets thoroughly investigated.
14:52What the hell is he up to?
14:54Check the time stamp on the article.
14:56It says it was published around the same time Lois and I were trapped in the storage room.
14:59Clearly, this is some sort of setup.
15:02Maybe, maybe she scheduled it in advance.
15:06Well, let's check the security footage then, shall we?
15:09That'll clear things up.
15:11Mr. Cavill, the security system has been compromised.
15:14All of the footage is gone.
15:15The security system has been compromised.
15:17All of the footage is gone.
15:26Hello?
15:28Trace the IP address back to the publisher of this article.
15:30I need answers now.
15:32What?
15:34The one who sent the photos and the article is Jim Kirby.
15:38Jim?
15:41That scumbag and his mistress.
15:43Not again.
15:46Bring this Jim Kirby in for questioning.
15:49Clearly, he's the one behind this smear campaign.
15:52Wait, that's not necessary.
15:56I mean...
15:58Why do you have to involve the cops in this?
16:04It'll just draw more attention to the article.
16:07Well, I can issue a statement saying that we were hacked and the article is fake.
16:12Fine, but make sure it's convincing.
16:17One more thing.
16:20Why exactly were Lois and I trapped in that storage room?
16:28I went in there to make a private phone call and she happened to walk in.
16:32But somehow, the door locked behind her.
16:37Clearly, somebody here is more focused on sabotaging their co-workers
16:40rather than doing their actual job.
16:45Clearly, somebody here is more focused on sabotaging their co-workers
16:49rather than doing their actual job.
16:56Perhaps it's time for a new leadership to step in and...
17:00tackle these issues.
17:02But, Mr. Covell, I swear, I...
17:04Honey, I strongly suggest you get your staff under control.
17:07This behavior will not fly under my wing.
17:11Understood.
17:16That's all for now.
17:23I've been waiting a long time for this.
17:27Lois.
17:32He's up to something.
17:35And whatever it is,
17:37it's gonna turn my life upside down.
17:40Checking out.
17:47Vodka tonic, please. Make it strong.
17:50I'm sorry, miss. We're closed for a private event tonight.
17:54Oh, sorry.
17:56Sorry, Sam.
17:58Excuse me.
18:11So, thanks for the save back there.
18:14No problem.
18:16So, uh, what's going on with you and that gym guy?
18:20Um, he cheated.
18:23With my best friend.
18:25We're divorced now.
18:27I'm staying with Barney, just for now.
18:31So, uh, going to another rich man didn't really work out?
18:34Car was a bitch.
18:36That's not what happened.
18:37But, I have some money in Vodka now, too.
18:43I could be your new sugar daddy.
