Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Sir, our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:09What the hell is going on here?
00:00:12Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:15Our stock is about to crash and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:20Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:24They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:28Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:35Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunch time.
00:00:44Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:46Mr. Jason, excuse me ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:50Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:57But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:05Do I know you?
00:01:09Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:12What are you doing?
00:01:13You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:15You can't be messing with the company funds.
00:01:18This is incredible.
00:01:20What's going on?
00:01:21The turning is him.
00:01:23It's failing.
00:01:24The price is holding.
00:01:27Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:33We met before.
00:01:35They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:38Tell me, how could I ever repay for this?
00:01:42If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:51Jason?
00:01:52Can we have five now?
00:01:53Mr. Yates?
00:01:54What?
00:01:55Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:56You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:57No, ma'am.
00:01:58I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:01:59Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:00Mr. Yates, you know that you're not going soft on me, are you?
00:02:17No, ma'am. I just thought you might like to scream today.
00:02:20Now, listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Lewis Group.
00:02:25Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:29Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret and why you've married this Ben Harrison fellow.
00:02:35Look, today is Ben's birthday. Anything we need to discuss, we can do at some other time.
00:02:40Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:45Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:50Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house. For my sake.
00:02:57Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:07Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:12Ma'am, divorce papers. Sign it's been sent in the house sandwich.
00:03:15Why?
00:03:17You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:21The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:23Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:26The Shepard Group.
00:03:27And you...
00:03:29You're just a cleaner.
00:03:31The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:35I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:37I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:41You, a cleaning woman, handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:46Don't make me laugh.
00:03:49I did!
00:03:51It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:54I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:58What are you doing here?
00:04:00Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:04:04Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:04:07Local royalty?
00:04:09A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:11And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:15Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor, doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:22What's going on?
00:04:24Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:26Because of her?
00:04:27Oh, please.
00:04:28I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:31You're still a cleaner.
00:04:33We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:35Grown apart?
00:04:38No.
00:04:39No, I won't sign any agreement, Ben.
00:04:45I won't sign.
00:04:49Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:51Ben.
00:04:52All right.
00:04:54Here.
00:04:55$100,000.
00:04:56Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:59$100,000.
00:05:01I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:05:07Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:09Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:11You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:13Yes.
00:05:14This is our act of charity to work.
00:05:16Here.
00:05:17A million dollars.
00:05:18Take this.
00:05:20You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:21Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:24I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this since none of you respect me.
00:05:35A cleaning lady threatening us.
00:05:38I'm so scared.
00:05:40Just leave.
00:05:41You already make this house stink.
00:05:50Thank God she's gone.
00:05:51Good riddance to her.
00:05:56Sir.
00:05:57Laura Lewis' information.
00:06:03She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:06:05No wonder why she wanted to part with him.
00:06:07Actually, sir.
00:06:08Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:11Divorced her?
00:06:13Wait a minute.
00:06:15Don't you remember?
00:06:17She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:21Yeah.
00:06:22She's saved out of hiding now.
00:06:24Remember?
00:06:25Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:31I don't know.
00:06:33Let's get to the final news.
00:06:37Hey!
00:06:38What are you doing?
00:06:39Let go of me!
00:06:40You attacked Amber!
00:06:41I apologize this instant!
00:06:42Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:48We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:50You refused it.
00:06:51And now you're stealing.
00:06:52She couldn't afford it.
00:06:54You're a thief.
00:07:01That's mine!
00:07:02Give it back!
00:07:03Hey!
00:07:04That's enough!
00:07:04I'm going to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:12It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:18You see, it's...
00:07:19Who are you?
00:07:20Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:22Excuse me.
00:07:23Do you know who I am?
00:07:24Is this true?
00:07:25You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:28Shame on you!
00:07:29Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:30For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:34I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:40You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:43That's really interesting, considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:48That's ridiculous.
00:07:50He doesn't look like that.
00:07:52My ring.
00:07:53Jason, give it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:55Hey, what are you doing?
00:07:56Let's get you out of here.
00:08:01Now.
00:08:02Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:08:03Who the heck is this man?
00:08:04Have you been sneaking around?
00:08:06It's a lie, Naomi.
00:08:08This is none of your business.
00:08:10All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:11You're not going anywhere until I tell you what's going on.
00:08:14We are the Harrisons.
00:08:16You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:18Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:21I go back.
00:08:22What?
00:08:23Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:25That's a lie.
00:08:26Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:28You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:30Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:34Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the $100 million deal?
00:08:40Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:44I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:48After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:51No, um, no.
00:08:54The event will proceed.
00:08:57Besides, I'll be there.
00:09:02There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:09:05Who are you, truly?
00:09:07You'll find out, Mr. Shepard.
00:09:10Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:16Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners, and we're going to have a meeting.
00:09:25An investment meeting.
00:09:27One week from today.
00:09:29Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:32Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:40Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:42I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:44Ben Harrison.
00:09:48You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:52After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:10:03Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:10:07Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Security!
00:10:10Get that woman out of here!
00:10:11We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:13Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:15This is a business event, after all.
00:10:18Business?
00:10:19You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:21A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:25Just get out!
00:10:26Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:29You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:31Oh, Ben.
00:10:32Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:36Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:38Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:40You don't belong here.
00:10:42Just get out!
00:10:48That's what you get.
00:10:51This contract is mine.
00:10:57To give or take away as I see fit.
00:11:01Don't be ridiculous.
00:11:02This is insane.
00:11:03Who do you think you are?
00:11:05Yeah, put that down.
00:11:06You have no idea what you're doing.
00:11:08Security!
00:11:08She's lost a mind.
00:11:10This is a disaster!
00:11:12Ben, this contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you.
00:11:16But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:19But since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:23You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:36You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:50Oh, please, honey.
00:11:51You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:53Security!
00:11:54Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:56I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:12:00And after careful consideration...
00:12:04I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:12:09You really think that the Shepard group and I can be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:13You have no authority here.
00:12:15Of course she has the authority.
00:12:23That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:26What is he doing here?
00:12:27Mr. Shepard?
00:12:28How does he know her?
00:12:29Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:31Laura, are you alright?
00:12:35Mr. Shepard, I can assure you, I don't even know this woman.
00:12:38There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:40There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:42Mr. Harrison, this contract with Shepard group is officially terminated.
00:12:47Effective immediately.
00:12:50Wait a minute.
00:12:51This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:53It's her.
00:12:55She ruined the contract.
00:12:56You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:58An affair?
00:12:59She had an affair with that man behind my son's back?
00:13:04Mom, please, it's okay.
00:13:05This man is...
00:13:06Don't touch me.
00:13:08That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:10has an affair, and you just stand there?
00:13:13You're a disgrace.
00:13:14An adulterer.
00:13:15You deserve to be around.
00:13:16Shut up.
00:13:19Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:23but I can assure you, this woman has tricked you.
00:13:26Tricked?
00:13:27Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:30What was my name before we got married?
00:13:35Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:37Lewis Group?
00:13:39The Financial Giants?
00:13:40There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:45That's crazy.
00:13:47There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:49That's absurd.
00:13:50It's...
00:13:51It's...
00:13:52It's absurd!
00:13:55A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:58Yeah.
00:13:59Yeah, it's a lie.
00:14:00It's a lie.
00:14:00This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:14:02In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:14:06She's nothing special.
00:14:08She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:09I was just a waitress.
00:14:13How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:15First time I met her,
00:14:16she was in need of waiters at the diner.
00:14:18Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:20When I met her,
00:14:21I'd only just started my business.
00:14:23Mm-hmm.
00:14:23Now look at me.
00:14:24I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:26And look at her.
00:14:28Still just a clear.
00:14:29Mr. Shepard,
00:14:31that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:34She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:36She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:38She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:43Let's make something clear.
00:14:46I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:48I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:54but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:56Don't lie.
00:14:57You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:15:00Oops.
00:15:01That roof was built with lies.
00:15:04Kathy, you never respected me.
00:15:06And Ben?
00:15:08Dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:11And the cheating.
00:15:13I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:17You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:19and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:21If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:25then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:28Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:31From everything.
00:15:32Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:37Laura, you think you can just walk in here
00:15:39and then, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:40And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:42I don't think so.
00:15:43You're a cleaner.
00:15:44You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:47Nobody cares about you.
00:15:48Cleaning toilets or not,
00:15:50at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:53I don't need a fancy title
00:15:55or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:59I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:16:04I think all jobs are important.
00:16:06Right, Mom?
00:16:07Ben, what are you doing?
00:16:09But I don't think that a janitor
00:16:11should have some sort of influence
00:16:12over a deal as big as this.
00:16:14A janitor.
00:16:16Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith
00:16:19exactly how she landed that collaboration
00:16:22with Shepard?
00:16:24You did claim to have been the one
00:16:26that secured the deal.
00:16:28Well, weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:30Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:32This woman, Laura,
00:16:34she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:37I, but, well...
00:16:39A lie, you say?
00:16:40Miss Smith, I believe you mentioned
00:16:42securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:45But I don't recognize you.
00:16:47Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:50Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:54This contract was my way
00:16:56of showing my appreciation.
00:16:58But the contract...
00:16:59I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:17:01So can't we just print another one
00:17:03and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:17:06Reprint it, Mr. Harrison.
00:17:08Perhaps you haven't been paying attention
00:17:10without Miss Lewis involvement.
00:17:12I wouldn't even consider
00:17:14partnering with your company.
00:17:19Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:22Shepard Group has no plans
00:17:24to partner with Harrison Group
00:17:25in the future.
00:17:29Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:32You destroyed everything.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:36I can explain.
00:17:38Lewis?
00:17:39Lewis Family Group?
00:17:40This can't be.
00:17:42Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:44Lewis Group will be holding
00:17:46a massive investment meeting
00:17:48later this week.
00:17:49Three of our vice presidents
00:17:52will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:54And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:55if you still have any doubts
00:17:57about who I am.
00:18:01Everyone, listen to me.
00:18:03Shepard Group will not be partnering
00:18:05with Harrison Group.
00:18:08A man who can't keep his vows
00:18:09to his wife
00:18:10cannot be trusted
00:18:11to keep his word on the contract.
00:18:14The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:17Everyone here deserves
00:18:18to see the truth.
00:18:21Miss Lewis,
00:18:23shall we take this conversation
00:18:25elsewhere?
00:18:30Help!
00:18:33Mom!
00:18:33Someone get her doctor!
00:18:34Mom!
00:18:35It seems your night
00:18:37has taken quite the turn,
00:18:40Mr. Shepard.
00:18:41Indeed.
00:18:43Perhaps it's best
00:18:44to leave them to it.
00:18:56What?
00:18:57What the hell?
00:18:58Mom,
00:18:59this is not all on me.
00:19:01Not on you!
00:19:02I was trying to help!
00:19:04She cheated on you
00:19:06with Shepard.
00:19:07Flaunted their affair.
00:19:08Exactly.
00:19:10And those dresses?
00:19:11Who could afford those
00:19:12on a janitor's salary?
00:19:14Miss Smith,
00:19:15how could you do this?
00:19:17We trusted you completely.
00:19:19No, no.
00:19:20I got Ben the deal.
00:19:22I had no idea Shepard
00:19:23would fall for Bora.
00:19:25She's a liar!
00:19:26Oh, stop it, Amber.
00:19:28You lied to us
00:19:29just as much as she did.
00:19:31Lied?
00:19:32You're on my side!
00:19:34And anyways,
00:19:35I have a plan.
00:19:37The Shepards
00:19:37are no one special.
00:19:39We can expose Laura
00:19:40in all her lies.
00:19:41Go national.
00:19:43We can make ourselves
00:19:44a household name.
00:19:46Now,
00:19:47if you'll excuse me,
00:19:48I have a very important
00:19:50phone call to you.
00:19:50Thank you so much
00:19:57for tonight,
00:19:58Mr. Shepard.
00:19:59Thank you as well
00:19:59for standing up.
00:20:01It's all right, Laura.
00:20:02You deserve the credit
00:20:03for all your hard work.
00:20:05Can I ask you something?
00:20:06Do you have any place
00:20:07to stay tonight?
00:20:08Maybe a hotel?
00:20:09Don't...
00:20:10Don't worry about me,
00:20:11Mr. Shepard.
00:20:11I'll be fine.
00:20:13Um,
00:20:14excuse me,
00:20:14you can just drop me off.
00:20:15Actually, Laura,
00:20:16actually,
00:20:17Laura,
00:20:18there is something else.
00:20:19Would you consider
00:20:20going out for dinner
00:20:21sometime?
00:20:22Just casually,
00:20:23of course.
00:20:24Mr. Shepard,
00:20:25are you asking me out?
00:20:28Please,
00:20:29call me Brian.
00:20:31And yes,
00:20:33technically,
00:20:34you're single now.
00:20:36Yes,
00:20:37that may be true,
00:20:38but, um,
00:20:39going out with
00:20:40a newly divorced
00:20:41ex-cleaner
00:20:43isn't exactly
00:20:43proper.
00:20:47Proper?
00:20:48Laura,
00:20:49I don't give a damn
00:20:51about appearances.
00:20:53Tonight,
00:20:53I saw your intelligence
00:20:55and your strength.
00:20:57Those are qualities
00:20:58I truly admire.
00:21:01So what do you say?
00:21:02Dinner?
00:21:04Just two people
00:21:05getting to know each other.
00:21:10I'm sorry,
00:21:11Mr. Shepard.
00:21:12I actually have
00:21:13another appointment
00:21:13tonight,
00:21:14so I can't...
00:21:16Wait, Laura...
00:21:16Just here is fine.
00:21:17Laura?
00:21:26Laura?
00:21:27Who is it?
00:21:28Laura, wait!
00:21:30Jason,
00:21:31find out who owns
00:21:32that car
00:21:33and do it fast.
00:21:34Ian Lewis?
00:21:43Who is this?
00:21:44It's Amber Smith.
00:21:46Mr. Lewis?
00:21:48I'm sorry for the late call,
00:21:49but I believe I have
00:21:50some urgent information
00:21:51about your family.
00:21:52I don't know who you are,
00:21:54Miss Smith.
00:21:55How did you get this number?
00:21:57Don't worry about that
00:21:58right now.
00:21:59I believe I know
00:22:00someone impersonating
00:22:01Laura Lewis.
00:22:02Someone I know
00:22:03very well.
00:22:05Impersonating my niece.
00:22:08And where is
00:22:09this fake Laura?
00:22:11Right here in Maplewood.
00:22:13And let me tell you,
00:22:14she's causing
00:22:15quite a scene.
00:22:17Well,
00:22:17what is she doing
00:22:19exactly?
00:22:21And more to the point,
00:22:22what do you want
00:22:23from me?
00:22:24In the next few days,
00:22:27the Lewis Group
00:22:27will hold an
00:22:28investment meeting,
00:22:29right?
00:22:30I want to meet
00:22:31with the Vice Presidents.
00:22:32All will be revealed then.
00:22:34Very well.
00:22:36I'll have my secretary
00:22:37arrange a meeting.
00:22:39But be warned,
00:22:40if this is a waste
00:22:41of my time,
00:22:42I...
00:22:42It won't be.
00:22:43Trust me,
00:22:44Mr. Lewis.
00:22:45Thank you,
00:22:46Mr.
00:22:46That little rascal
00:22:53Laura.
00:22:55I wonder
00:22:56what she's up to now.
00:23:00That car belongs
00:23:02to Mr. Yeats,
00:23:03the Lewis family
00:23:04bubler.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:07Lewis family?
00:23:09That's interesting.
00:23:11Could she be
00:23:12connected to them
00:23:13somehow?
00:23:13I'm not sure.
00:23:17Brian!
00:23:18There you are.
00:23:20I've missed you.
00:23:21Chloe.
00:23:23What are you up to?
00:23:24Chloe,
00:23:25what are you doing here?
00:23:27What do you mean?
00:23:28Can't I visit
00:23:29the man I love?
00:23:30We ended things
00:23:31for a reason.
00:23:32It was just
00:23:33one teensy mistake.
00:23:35I was...
00:23:35I was a little bit tipsy.
00:23:37Doesn't everyone
00:23:38deserve a second chance?
00:23:39Teensy mistake,
00:23:40you said?
00:23:41You cheated on me.
00:23:43Is this your new
00:23:47fling?
00:23:49Ex-divorcey?
00:23:51Used to clean floors?
00:23:52Quite the catch,
00:23:53you say?
00:23:54Look,
00:23:55my relationship
00:23:56with her
00:23:56is none of your business.
00:23:59And don't you dare
00:24:00talk about her
00:24:00like that.
00:24:02Please.
00:24:03An ex-cleaner
00:24:04turned social climber
00:24:05latching onto
00:24:06a wealthy businessman?
00:24:08It's a classic story.
00:24:09That's enough.
00:24:10I'll get the hell
00:24:11out of my office.
00:24:11You want to be
00:24:13careful, Brian.
00:24:14Duke Industries
00:24:15still holds
00:24:16a lot of weight
00:24:16in Maplewood.
00:24:18If you want
00:24:18Shepard Group
00:24:19to stay afloat,
00:24:21you ought to
00:24:21be more careful.
00:24:25Seems like
00:24:26you've got more
00:24:27on your plate
00:24:27than Laura's
00:24:27secrets now.
00:24:28This is it.
00:24:36The Lewis Group
00:24:36vice presidents
00:24:37are on the top floor.
00:24:38Once I'm done
00:24:39speaking with them,
00:24:40I'll have Ben's company
00:24:41rolling in business
00:24:42investments.
00:24:43I'll go speak
00:24:44with them first
00:24:45and then I'll
00:24:45introduce you.
00:24:48Well, well, well.
00:24:49Look who it is.
00:24:50What a surprise.
00:24:52Did Brian
00:24:52teach you already?
00:24:54That's none
00:24:55of your business.
00:24:57Now, move aside, please.
00:24:59Laura,
00:24:59just what do you
00:25:00think you're doing,
00:25:01you street rat?
00:25:03You really think
00:25:03you can just ruin
00:25:04my events again?
00:25:04Haven't you ruined
00:25:05my life enough?
00:25:06Don't you have any shame?
00:25:07If you'll excuse me,
00:25:09I have an important meeting
00:25:10to get to.
00:25:11Oh, the nurse.
00:25:12After everything
00:25:13you've done,
00:25:14you think you can
00:25:14just waltz in here
00:25:15and manipulate them, too?
00:25:17Seriously?
00:25:19I think you need
00:25:20to reconsider
00:25:20exactly who's
00:25:21manipulating who
00:25:22here.
00:25:23Oh, that's gold.
00:25:25You really think
00:25:26that they're gonna
00:25:26let you in, Laura?
00:25:27Please,
00:25:28you're no one
00:25:28compared to me.
00:25:29You don't deserve
00:25:30to be here.
00:25:31The only ones
00:25:33who don't belong here
00:25:34are you three.
00:25:36And you,
00:25:38idiot,
00:25:38believing every lie
00:25:39that she tells you.
00:25:40Wake up, Ben.
00:25:42Oh, Laura!
00:25:44Laura, come on.
00:25:44Why do you always
00:25:45pull this on me?
00:25:46I mean, seriously,
00:25:47can't you just let me
00:25:48enjoy one of my events
00:25:49for once?
00:25:50I know what this is.
00:25:53So stupid.
00:25:54Oh, shut your trap.
00:25:57Amber spoke directly
00:25:58with the CEO.
00:25:59He invited her
00:25:59to meet with the VPs
00:26:00before the main meeting.
00:26:02Yeah, Amber got me
00:26:04a partnership
00:26:04with the Lose Group.
00:26:06And unlike some people,
00:26:07I have a real invitation.
00:26:09Well, before you all
00:26:12start celebrating,
00:26:14why don't you take a look
00:26:15at this?
00:26:17Oh, that's rich.
00:26:23You may have
00:26:23Brian Shepard fooled,
00:26:24but you can't fool me.
00:26:26I spoke to Ian Lewis himself,
00:26:28CEO of Lewis Group.
00:26:29Speaking of Brian,
00:26:31where is he right now?
00:26:33You mean my uncle?
00:26:36Ian, don't be ridiculous.
00:26:38Ian Lewis personally
00:26:40gave me this invitation himself.
00:26:42And besides,
00:26:44this looks fake.
00:26:46She's a liar.
00:26:48This is a personal invitation
00:26:51from Mr. Yates himself.
00:26:53It grants me access
00:26:54to the VIP elevator,
00:26:55which leads straight
00:26:56to the vice presidential suite.
00:26:58She's lying.
00:26:59They don't have a VIP elevator
00:27:00in this hotel.
00:27:01Is there a special elevator
00:27:07for VIPs in this hotel?
00:27:09Not that I know of.
00:27:11See?
00:27:12She's lying.
00:27:13There you have it, Laura.
00:27:14Even the hotel staff
00:27:15can spot a fake.
00:27:17Go on,
00:27:17get lost
00:27:18before things get worse.
00:27:21Here,
00:27:22take this one.
00:27:23Lead me to the vice president's.
00:27:25You have
00:27:26no
00:27:27idea
00:27:28what you just did.
00:27:30There
00:27:30be consequences.
00:27:34Besides,
00:27:35if you have this relationship
00:27:37with Ian Lewis
00:27:37that you claim to have,
00:27:40why don't you just ask him
00:27:41to get the two of them
00:27:43an invitation?
00:27:45Security!
00:27:46Security!
00:27:46We need this woman removed immediately.
00:27:47She is harassing me.
00:27:49We're done with your games, Laura.
00:27:50You're just a fraud.
00:27:51Ma'am, play the movie.
00:27:52What?
00:27:53Hold on!
00:27:54Brian Shepard?
00:27:59You think money
00:28:00buys you the right
00:28:01to walk all over people?
00:28:02Well, it doesn't.
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Wasn't enough
00:28:04to kick us out of Maplewood,
00:28:05was it, huh?
00:28:06What other plans
00:28:07do you have to destroy this time?
00:28:09Get you out?
00:28:10After what you did to Laura,
00:28:11you had it coming.
00:28:13Don't play dumb.
00:28:14We know exactly
00:28:15what's been happening here.
00:28:16How long has this little affair
00:28:18been going on?
00:28:19You've been sleeping with her
00:28:20since she was married to my son.
00:28:22Hold on a second.
00:28:23And the affair?
00:28:25You think Laura and I?
00:28:27You people are unbelievable.
00:28:31Mr. Carter,
00:28:33get down here ASAP.
00:28:35We have a situation.
00:28:36What, you think you can just
00:28:37boss the manager around now?
00:28:39Is that it?
00:28:39We'll stick around
00:28:40and watch you crash and burn.
00:28:41Miss Lewis, apologies for the delay.
00:28:44How can I help you this evening?
00:28:45Thank you, Mr. Carter,
00:28:47for getting down here so quickly.
00:28:49It seems there's a misunderstanding.
00:28:52These people don't think
00:28:54that I belong here.
00:28:55Well, Mr. Carter,
00:28:56I can assure you,
00:28:57this woman is a cleaner.
00:28:58A cleaner?
00:28:59Nonsense.
00:29:00I personally agreed to Miss Lewis
00:29:02upon her arrival in Maplewood
00:29:03three years ago.
00:29:05Exactly.
00:29:06Lewis Group,
00:29:08my company,
00:29:10has some major investments
00:29:12planned here in Maplewood.
00:29:13I was just here
00:29:14investigating potential
00:29:15business opportunities.
00:29:16No, this woman doesn't know
00:29:18the difference between business
00:29:20and a hole in the ground.
00:29:21She's been this way
00:29:22since my son divorced her.
00:29:24She's insane.
00:29:25Actually,
00:29:26I met Laura three years ago
00:29:27at the coffee shop.
00:29:29She helped secure
00:29:30a profitable investment
00:29:31for Sheppard Group.
00:29:33No, it's a lie.
00:29:35Mr. Sheppard,
00:29:36she's tricking you too.
00:29:40You know,
00:29:41it's exhausting
00:29:42trying to argue with people
00:29:44who forget who helped them.
00:29:47Mr. Carter,
00:29:48would you mind showing me
00:29:49to the VIP elevator?
00:29:50Wait, is that why
00:29:51you're covering for her?
00:29:52Because of the affair?
00:29:53Because she slept with you?
00:29:55Excuse me.
00:29:56Fuck off.
00:29:56Who are you
00:29:57and how dare you
00:29:57speak to Miss Lewis that way?
00:29:59No, this.
00:29:59She's right.
00:30:00That's enough.
00:30:01Have you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:30:03This is Lewis Group property.
00:30:05Behave or I'll call security.
00:30:07But she doesn't even have
00:30:07a VIP entrance access.
00:30:10She shouldn't be here.
00:30:12Since you're having
00:30:13trouble understanding them,
00:30:15let me make it clear.
00:30:17This hotel
00:30:17is owned by the Lewis family.
00:30:19It's mine
00:30:21to come
00:30:23or go
00:30:23as I please.
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:29for stepping in, Brian.
00:30:30I owe you one.
00:30:33We'll talk about this later.
00:30:35Well,
00:30:36it seems divorcing
00:30:37a powerful woman
00:30:38wasn't the best decision
00:30:39of the others.
00:30:39Come in.
00:30:49Excuse me,
00:30:51Vice Presidents.
00:30:52I'm Amber Smith,
00:30:54General Manager
00:30:54of the Lewis Group
00:30:55Maplewood Branch.
00:30:57I believe Ian Lewis
00:30:58told you about
00:30:58our meeting today.
00:31:00Maplewood Branch.
00:31:01Our records
00:31:03don't show
00:31:04any Maplewood Branch,
00:31:06Miss Smith.
00:31:06Are you sure
00:31:07you haven't gotten
00:31:08something mixed up?
00:31:11Ian Lewis,
00:31:12Mr. Lewis,
00:31:14reassured me
00:31:15that today
00:31:15we would discuss,
00:31:17well,
00:31:18expansion plans.
00:31:20Expansion plans?
00:31:22Miss Smith?
00:31:23A decision like that
00:31:24wouldn't be taken
00:31:24without board approval.
00:31:26And frankly,
00:31:27we haven't heard
00:31:28anything about
00:31:29Maplewood Branch.
00:31:31But
00:31:31Ian Lewis
00:31:33assured me that
00:31:34Miss Smith,
00:31:35we have a very
00:31:36important guest
00:31:36arriving soon.
00:31:38Perhaps you'd like
00:31:38to schedule a
00:31:39follow-up meeting
00:31:39with one of our staff.
00:31:41Maybe I can
00:31:42stay for this guest
00:31:42and offer some
00:31:43local...
00:31:43Miss Smith,
00:31:44we'd like you to leave.
00:31:46If you don't,
00:31:46we'll call security.
00:31:52Hey,
00:31:53stop there.
00:31:54This elevator
00:31:55is a VIP only.
00:31:57Back, please.
00:31:58Of course.
00:31:59My apologies.
00:31:59Laura?
00:32:09Vice Presidents,
00:32:10it's so good
00:32:11to see all of you again.
00:32:13Miss Lewis,
00:32:15it's been too long.
00:32:16Your return
00:32:17is a lifesaver,
00:32:18Miss Lewis.
00:32:19The Lewis Group
00:32:20has floundered
00:32:21under your uncle's,
00:32:22well,
00:32:22shall we say,
00:32:23unconventional leadership.
00:32:25The board are begging
00:32:27you to come back,
00:32:28Miss Lewis.
00:32:30Well,
00:32:31please sit.
00:32:32Yes, well,
00:32:33it is time for me
00:32:34to get my career
00:32:35back on track.
00:32:37We've got
00:32:37a meeting planned,
00:32:38a big one,
00:32:40in just a few days.
00:32:42Local powerhouses
00:32:43and smaller players, too.
00:32:46They'll all be there
00:32:46in one spot.
00:32:48Miss Lewis,
00:32:49we met with
00:32:50an Amber Smith.
00:32:52She claimed
00:32:53your uncle
00:32:54appointed her
00:32:55general manager
00:32:56of a Maplewood branch
00:32:57for the Lewis Group.
00:32:59She said that,
00:33:00did she?
00:33:01Well,
00:33:01Miss Smith
00:33:02is a liar.
00:33:03There is
00:33:04no Maplewood branch,
00:33:05at least not yet.
00:33:06She lied so blatantly,
00:33:08it was,
00:33:08it's unbelievable.
00:33:10Bob,
00:33:10don't worry.
00:33:11I found a much
00:33:12more suitable partner.
00:33:16Shepherd Group.
00:33:17Shepherd Group?
00:33:18Their rise to a public company
00:33:20has been impressive.
00:33:22Do you have anything
00:33:23to do with that?
00:33:24So,
00:33:25what happens now
00:33:26with this
00:33:27Amber Smith?
00:33:29Oh,
00:33:30don't worry about Amber.
00:33:33I've got plans
00:33:34for her.
00:33:37Miss Lewis,
00:33:39consider this
00:33:40your official invitation
00:33:42to the legend
00:33:43from us.
00:33:46Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:47Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:48Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:49Cheers.
00:33:50Cheers.
00:33:50Cheers.
00:33:51Cheers.
00:33:52Cheers.
00:33:52Cheers.
00:33:53Cheers.
00:33:53Cheers.
00:33:54Cheers.
00:33:55Cheers.
00:33:56Cheers.
00:33:57Cheers.
00:33:57Cheers.
00:33:58Yeah, I'm not leaving.
00:33:59What are you talking about?
00:34:00No, come on.
00:34:00Wait!
00:34:01I'm Amber Smith.
00:34:02I'm the Lewis Group manager
00:34:03of Maplewood Branch.
00:34:04What are you doing?
00:34:04These are my guests.
00:34:05Yeah, that's right.
00:34:06Tell them who we are.
00:34:07Yes, we were waiting
00:34:08for Ms. Smith.
00:34:11Lewis Group,
00:34:12Maplewood Branch?
00:34:13No such thing, ma'am.
00:34:14And frankly,
00:34:15I'm not interested
00:34:15in your act.
00:34:17Oh, of course.
00:34:18Laura!
00:34:19She's probably sleeping
00:34:21with the manager
00:34:21as well.
00:34:22That's how she gets away
00:34:23with everything.
00:34:24You underestimate her, Kathy.
00:34:25She's probably sleeping
00:34:27with all three vice presidents.
00:34:28No way a girl like her
00:34:30could get into a hotel like this.
00:34:32Careful with your words.
00:34:33Both of you.
00:34:34Acquisitions like that
00:34:36can get you in serious trouble.
00:34:40Look who can't even get into a meeting
00:34:42whilst I secure three
00:34:43with all the vice presidents.
00:34:45And let's not forget
00:34:46the mystery guest
00:34:47that they're bringing
00:34:48to Maplewood.
00:34:48Looks like she used you
00:34:50and tossed you aside.
00:34:52Used me?
00:34:53Unlike some people,
00:34:55I don't mind being helpful.
00:34:57You're so stupid.
00:34:58She threw you away
00:34:59like yesterday's trash.
00:35:01Don't worry, Brian.
00:35:02You deserve better.
00:35:04And let's not forget,
00:35:05I'm the new Maplewood Branch Manager
00:35:07of Lewis Group,
00:35:08appointed by the CEO
00:35:09of Lewis Group themselves,
00:35:11Ian Lewis.
00:35:12New Branch Manager, huh?
00:35:14Interesting.
00:35:17Laura Lewis?
00:35:18What are you doing here?
00:35:19Get out of here!
00:35:20You claim to be
00:35:21the mystery guest.
00:35:23Don't play games, Laura.
00:35:24Laura, I was formally invited
00:35:26by Lewis Group themselves
00:35:27to the investment meeting.
00:35:29Only the top companies
00:35:30get those.
00:35:32Looks like you're all out of luck.
00:35:34Is that so?
00:35:36Well then,
00:35:37there seems to be
00:35:38a misunderstanding.
00:35:40You see, I'm not sure
00:35:42if you know Miss Smith,
00:35:43but Lewis Group
00:35:44is my company
00:35:45and I decide
00:35:47who goes to the meetings.
00:35:51Escort them out.
00:35:52What?
00:35:52Their visit is over.
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55This way, please.
00:35:56I'm not leaving.
00:35:59Move.
00:35:59We're not leaving again.
00:36:01Move.
00:36:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:36:02We're not going now.
00:36:02Okay, bye, bye.
00:36:03This isn't over, Laura.
00:36:05You'll see.
00:36:06Thanks for waiting, friend.
00:36:10Laura, I'm glad you're okay.
00:36:16And thank you
00:36:17for defending me.
00:36:19I really appreciate it.
00:36:23Um, are you coming to the meeting?
00:36:27Yes, but it's going to be tricky.
00:36:30Why?
00:36:34I'm sure that
00:36:36Shepard Group
00:36:36got an invitation.
00:36:40Yes.
00:36:41Laura,
00:36:42there's something
00:36:44you should know.
00:36:46Is,
00:36:46is this about
00:36:48Ben?
00:36:49Because I can
00:36:50assure you
00:36:51that he won't
00:36:51cause any problems.
00:36:52He won't even
00:36:53get past security.
00:36:55Laura,
00:36:56it's not Ben.
00:36:57It's someone else.
00:37:02Someone's causing
00:37:03problems for Shepard Group?
00:37:06Yes.
00:37:09Her name is Chloe Duke.
00:37:11She is daughter
00:37:12of the Duke family.
00:37:15She's my ex-fiance.
00:37:19And, uh,
00:37:20let's say
00:37:20things didn't end
00:37:22so well between us.
00:37:24And
00:37:24let's just say
00:37:28we didn't
00:37:28end things so well.
00:37:30And
00:37:31for some reason
00:37:32she's having
00:37:34a hard time
00:37:34moving on.
00:37:37And
00:37:37you think
00:37:39that
00:37:39she's going to
00:37:40cause
00:37:40problems at the meeting
00:37:42for
00:37:43out of
00:37:47jealousy?
00:37:50There's a possibility.
00:37:51She's kind of jealous.
00:37:52Well,
00:37:54all the more reason
00:37:56for you to be there.
00:37:59So,
00:37:59I'll be there too.
00:38:04Laura,
00:38:05would you consider
00:38:08being my guest
00:38:09at the meeting?
00:38:10What?
00:38:11Are you worried
00:38:12that this Chloe
00:38:13is going to cause
00:38:13problems for me too?
00:38:15Maybe a little.
00:38:17But mostly,
00:38:18I want to show them
00:38:19we're a team.
00:38:20Well,
00:38:21it's a very
00:38:22kind offer,
00:38:23Mr. Shepard.
00:38:26Laura,
00:38:27I don't care
00:38:32about your best.
00:38:34I just want
00:38:34to be by your side.
00:38:36I think
00:38:36I'm falling
00:38:37for you.
00:38:42Ryan,
00:38:42Ryan,
00:38:42I appreciate
00:38:49your honesty
00:38:50and
00:38:51right now
00:38:52I'm just not
00:38:53I just don't
00:38:55really have romance
00:38:56on my mind
00:38:57right now
00:38:58just with
00:38:59everything going on
00:39:00and going on
00:39:02and...
00:39:02It's okay.
00:39:03I just want
00:39:04to be up front.
00:39:06And if
00:39:07Chloe tries anything,
00:39:09you won't face
00:39:10her alone.
00:39:14There's just
00:39:15one thing
00:39:16I do need.
00:39:18What is it?
00:39:20A formal dress.
00:39:33Oh,
00:39:34security!
00:39:35She doesn't
00:39:36belong here.
00:39:37This is a private
00:39:38store.
00:39:38Excuse me.
00:39:40We need
00:39:41some assistance.
00:39:41I'm looking

00:39:49It is.
00:39:51I'll try
00:39:51this one on.
00:39:52Don't bother
00:39:53with her.
00:39:54She can't
00:39:54afford anything
00:39:55here.
00:39:56She's just
00:39:56a cleaner.
00:39:57She doesn't
00:39:57deserve to
00:39:58shop you.
00:39:58She has
00:39:59no money.
00:40:01Yeah,
00:40:02exactly.
00:40:03I mean,
00:40:03what are you

00:40:24anything she
00:40:24wants with

00:40:55What are

00:52:18I've
00:52:18watched

00:52:20She's
00:52:20like a
00:52:21daughter
00:52:21to me.
00:52:22I

00:52:32Brian.
00:52:33Let's
00:52:33forget
00:52:34all this
00:52:34nonsense.
00:52:36Do it,

00:52:37Shepherd.
00:52:38Propose
00:52:38right here,

00:52:41Brian?
00:52:44Is
00:52:45this
00:52:46how the Duke
00:52:46family handles
00:52:47business deals?
00:52:49By
00:52:49forcing
00:52:50a ring
00:52:51on someone?
00:52:52Do it,
00:52:53or you
00:52:54can kiss
00:52:54goodbye
00:52:54all future
00:52:55investments
00:52:55with the Duke
00:52:56family.
00:52:57Don't
00:53:02you dare.
00:53:04You're
00:53:04humiliating
00:53:05yourself.
00:53:06Dare
00:53:07you?
00:53:07Do you
00:53:08really like
00:53:08this nobody
00:53:09from nowhere?
00:53:10Yes.
00:53:12I like
00:53:13her.
00:53:15But I
00:53:16can't
00:53:16imagine
00:53:16someone
00:53:17like her
00:53:17interested
00:53:18in me.
00:53:21The
00:53:21truth
00:53:21is,
00:53:22I
00:53:22wouldn't
00:53:23be here
00:53:23where I
00:53:24am
00:53:24today
00:53:24without
00:53:25her.
00:53:25Why
00:53:27would
00:53:27you
00:53:27choose
00:53:27someone
00:53:27like
00:53:27her?
00:53:29Exactly!
00:53:30This woman
00:53:30is
00:53:31Trevor.
00:53:31She
00:53:32doesn't
00:53:32belong
00:53:32here.
00:53:33Throw her
00:53:33out!
00:53:34You do
00:53:35realize that
00:53:36there is
00:53:36no
00:53:36investment
00:53:37meeting
00:53:37without
00:53:38me?
00:53:39Interesting
00:53:40turn of
00:53:40events.
00:53:42Perhaps
00:53:42it's time
00:53:43we shed
00:53:43some light
00:53:44on your
00:53:44mysterious
00:53:45past.
00:53:46Do you
00:53:46actually
00:53:47think that
00:53:48just because
00:53:48you have
00:53:49the name
00:53:49Laura
00:53:49that you're
00:53:51the missing
00:53:51heiress
00:53:52Laura
00:53:52Lewis?
00:53:52You
00:53:56know
00:53:56what?
00:53:56Maybe
00:53:56you're
00:53:56right
00:53:57Chloe.
00:53:58How
00:53:58ridiculous.
00:54:00Is that
00:54:00what you've
00:54:00been telling

00:54:01I'm

00:54:13right to
00:54:13talk to
00:54:14Miss Duke
00:54:14like that.
00:54:15That's
00:54:15enough.
00:54:16You
00:54:17don't
00:54:17get to
00:54:17talk
00:54:17here.

00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24Award-winning
00:56:25performance,

00:56:26But you
00:56:27can't
00:56:27possibly
00:56:28control
00:56:28stock.
00:56:29Want to
00:56:30put your
00:56:31money where
00:56:32your mouth
00:56:32is,
00:56:33Chloe?
00:56:34If
00:56:34the shepherd
00:56:37stock
00:56:37holds
00:56:38for the
00:56:39next
00:56:40five
00:56:41minutes,
00:56:42you owe
00:56:44me a
00:56:45public
00:56:45apology.
00:56:56Well,
00:56:56looks like
00:56:58your five
00:56:59minutes
00:57:00is up.
00:57:01Let's see
00:57:02how the shepherd's
00:57:03stock is doing.
00:57:03What the?
00:57:09Does shepherd
00:57:10grip stock
00:57:10prices?
00:57:11It's going
00:57:12up!
00:57:13This can't be
00:57:14happening.
00:57:14It must be a
00:57:15coincidence.
00:57:21Why didn't you
00:57:22short the stock
00:57:23like I asked?
00:57:24There was a
00:57:25huge investment.
00:57:26We couldn't
00:57:27compete.
00:57:27Shepherd's stock
00:57:28price is being
00:57:29heavily supported.
00:57:31How did you
00:57:32do this?
00:57:32like I said,
00:57:34Chloe,
00:57:35I'm
00:57:37Laura Lewis.
00:57:39No,
00:57:40you're not.
00:57:40You're just
00:57:41some clean-up.
00:57:41You don't have
00:57:42access to
00:57:42billions.
00:57:44Well,
00:57:44I think it's
00:57:46time for my
00:57:47apology.
00:57:53No.
00:57:54I think it's
00:57:55time for my
00:57:56apology.
00:57:56There is no
00:57:57way I'm
00:57:57apologizing to
00:57:58you.
00:57:59If things
00:58:00were the
00:58:00other way,
00:58:00would you
00:58:01be so
00:58:01quick to
00:58:02forgive me,
00:58:03Chloe?
00:58:04The truth
00:58:04is,
00:58:05everyone here
00:58:08has seen you
00:58:09be a bully
00:58:10and a coward
00:58:12and now
00:58:13a sore
00:58:15loser.
00:58:16This is so
00:58:18humiliating for
00:58:19her.
00:58:20How did she
00:58:20manage that?
00:58:22Maybe she
00:58:22really is a
00:58:23Lewis.
00:58:24Apologize to
00:58:25Miss Lewis.
00:58:26Shut up.
00:58:27Don't you
00:58:28die talk about
00:58:29Miss Duke like
00:58:29that, don't
00:58:31forget the Duke
00:58:32found me on
00:58:33half of
00:58:33Maplewood.
00:58:34There you go,
00:58:34Liz Edwards.
00:58:36Let's get out of
00:58:36here.
00:58:38Hold on.
00:58:40This is where I
00:58:42belong.
00:58:43And that
00:58:44is my chair.
00:58:47You can't go
00:58:48there.
00:58:48That is the VIP
00:58:49section.
00:58:50Only those
00:58:51invited by the
00:58:52Lewis Group
00:58:52vice presidents
00:58:53get to sit
00:58:54there.
00:58:54Like I said,
00:58:56Chloe,
00:58:57that's my
00:58:58seat.
00:59:04Had a rumor
00:59:05floating around
00:59:06a few days
00:59:07ago.
00:59:07Seems Miss
00:59:08Lewis caused
00:59:09quite a scene
00:59:10at a signing
00:59:11ceremony between
00:59:12her ex and
00:59:13Mr. Shepard,
00:59:15wasn't it?
00:59:16Are you planning
00:59:16another outburst,
00:59:18Laura?
00:59:18Is this how you
00:59:19charm all your
00:59:20men?
00:59:20Shall we?
00:59:22My pleasure.
00:59:23What are you
00:59:25doing?
00:59:26Let go.
00:59:28It doesn't
00:59:28matter what
00:59:28happens.
00:59:29I choose to
00:59:30stay by Laura's
00:59:30side.
00:59:32Let's go.
00:59:34Don't be
00:59:34absurd.
00:59:35That seat is
00:59:36reserved for a
00:59:37very important
00:59:37guest.
00:59:39Someone so
00:59:40esteemed, even
00:59:41the vice
00:59:42presidents have
00:59:43to bow low.
00:59:45And how
00:59:48exactly,
00:59:49Mr. Jones?
00:59:51Are you so
00:59:52sure that I'm
00:59:53not that esteemed
00:59:54guest?
00:59:55Wait, that's
00:59:56Peter Young,
00:59:57director of
00:59:57business affairs
00:59:58at Lewis Group.
01:00:03Ask Peter Young.
01:00:04He decides which
01:00:05investments.
01:00:05Mr. Young,
01:00:06it's Chloe Duke,
01:00:07head of Duke
01:00:08Industries.
01:00:08So glad you could
01:00:09join us.
01:00:10Why is everyone
01:00:10standing around?
01:00:11It's her.
01:00:12She's making a
01:00:13huge scene trying
01:00:14to claim the
01:00:14VIP seat.
01:00:16It's embarrassing.
01:00:17That seat's
01:00:18reserved for the
01:00:18Lewis Group VIP
01:00:19guest.
01:00:20specifically the
01:00:21family heir.
01:00:23Please get off
01:00:23the stage.
01:00:25Oh, yes.
01:00:26Mr. Young,
01:00:28was it?
01:00:29I think I
01:00:29remember you.
01:00:30You manage
01:00:31my family's
01:00:32investments.
01:00:34Don't pretend
01:00:35like you know
01:00:36what's going on.
01:00:37Please get
01:00:38off the stage.
01:00:39That seat's
01:00:39reserved for the
01:00:40Lewis family heir.
01:00:41I need to make
01:00:42one thing crystal
01:00:44clear.
01:00:49I am the
01:00:51heir of the
01:00:53Lewis family.
01:00:57This is
01:00:57ridiculous.
01:00:59You, the
01:01:00Lewis heir.
01:01:01Don't you know
01:01:01that Miss Lewis is
01:01:02a legend around
01:01:03here?
01:01:04You must be
01:01:04out of your mind
01:01:05trusting a complete
01:01:06stranger like this.
01:01:07Exactly.
01:01:08We ran a
01:01:09background check on
01:01:09her and it turns
01:01:11out she's just
01:01:11some cleaner that
01:01:12used to work for
01:01:13the Harrison group.
01:01:14Before that,
01:01:15a cashier in my
01:01:16family's supermarket.
01:01:18See, Brian?
01:01:19This is who you've
01:01:20been chasing after.
01:01:21A liar and a
01:01:22cheat.
01:01:23Security, get this
01:01:24imposter out of
01:01:25here.
01:01:26And everyone here
01:01:26is a witness.
01:01:28Why would any of
01:01:29you trust Laura?
01:01:31If any of you
01:01:32dares to harm her,
01:01:34you have to go
01:01:35through me first.
01:01:37Brian, she's just
01:01:38a nobody.
01:01:40She's just someone
01:01:40that the Harrison
01:01:41group ditched.
01:01:43They didn't even
01:01:43want her.
01:01:44What exactly do you
01:01:45see in her?
01:01:46Escort this
01:01:47imposter out of
01:01:47here.
01:01:48Now.
01:01:50I'm Peter.
01:01:58Peter, do you
01:02:00have any idea
01:02:00what you're doing?
01:02:02Mr. Yates,
01:02:03I'm so glad you
01:02:04could join us.
01:02:05Miss Lewis,
01:02:08sorry about the
01:02:09delay and for all
01:02:11the trouble you've
01:02:11had to put up
01:02:12with.
01:02:12It's no trouble,
01:02:14Mr. Yates.
01:02:16Luckily, I haven't
01:02:16been alone.
01:02:17I've had the great
01:02:18company of my very
01:02:20loyal friend.
01:02:23Wait a minute.
01:02:25She's Miss Lewis.
01:02:26Is this a joke?
01:02:27Mr. Young, you're
01:02:29new to the Lewis
01:02:30group, so I can
01:02:32understand why you
01:02:32wouldn't recognize
01:02:33Miss Lewis, but she
01:02:35listened to lies
01:02:36without checking the
01:02:37facts and almost
01:02:39called the police.
01:02:42Tell me, Mr. Young,
01:02:44who put you up to
01:02:45this?
01:02:46Was it my uncle,
01:02:47Ian Lewis?
01:02:51I knew it.
01:02:56Consider this your
01:02:57termination.
01:02:59I get it now.
01:03:01This is all an act.
01:03:02Right?
01:03:03Chloe, what are you
01:03:04doing?
01:03:04We still want to
01:03:05work with the Lewis
01:03:05family.
01:03:06Work with him?
01:03:07Are you blind?
01:03:08This woman is
01:03:08clearly having an
01:03:09affair with this
01:03:09old man.
01:03:11That's enough,
01:03:12young lady.
01:03:13You've got no
01:03:14right to disrespect
01:03:14the head of the
01:03:15Lewis group.
01:03:17Oh, Chloe.
01:03:19I can't believe
01:03:20we're going through
01:03:20this again.
01:03:21I think you need
01:03:22some professional
01:03:23help.
01:03:25Maybe I could make
01:03:26you an appointment
01:03:26with a great
01:03:27psychiatrist.
01:03:28Chloe, that's
01:03:29enough.
01:03:30It's ridiculous.
01:03:30If you were really
01:03:31the Lewis family
01:03:32heir, you would
01:03:32have the ring.
01:03:33So why don't you
01:03:34show it to everyone?
01:03:35Show us the ring!
01:03:40Why don't you
01:03:41show that to
01:03:41everyone?
01:03:42Show us the ring!
01:03:43Show us the ring!
01:03:44Show us the ring!
01:03:45Who are you
01:03:46to make demands
01:03:47of me?
01:03:48I don't answer
01:03:49to anyone but
01:03:50myself.
01:03:52I don't need
01:03:53any of your
01:03:55validation.
01:03:58There's a ring!
01:04:03Vice Presidents,
01:04:05I'm Chloe Duke
01:04:06of the Duke family.
01:04:07This woman
01:04:08is an imposter!
01:04:09Miss Lewis,
01:04:10we apologize
01:04:11for the delay.
01:04:13How could you
01:04:13just let that
01:04:14con woman sit there?
01:04:15Get her out of here!
01:04:16This seat
01:04:17was always
01:04:18for Miss Lewis.
01:04:20She's the special
01:04:21guest we've been
01:04:22waiting for.
01:04:23The investment
01:04:24queen.
01:04:25The real heir
01:04:26to Lewis Group.
01:04:28Laura Lewis!
01:04:30She was a
01:04:30divorced hostwife,
01:04:31a janitor.
01:04:32How can she?
01:04:33She can't be!
01:04:34It's a lie!
01:04:34I'm telling you,
01:04:35it's a lie!
01:04:36Do you think
01:04:37we'd lie?
01:04:38We run
01:04:39Lewis Group!
01:04:40Oh, Chloe,
01:04:42you assaulted me
01:04:44earlier.
01:04:44and you came
01:04:46to this meeting
01:04:47to what?
01:04:48Sabotage it.
01:04:50You'll be hearing
01:04:51from our legal team.
01:04:55Is this true,
01:04:56Miss Duke?
01:04:57Did you try
01:04:58and sabotage
01:04:58this meeting?
01:05:01Yes,
01:05:01it's all true.
01:05:03She fooled us all.
01:05:04The Duke
01:05:05tricked us
01:05:05to keep
01:05:06Lewis Group
01:05:07out of Maplewood
01:05:08and control
01:05:09everything themselves.
01:05:10I had no idea.
01:05:12But I'm on your side.
01:05:13I can give you
01:05:15everything you need.
01:05:16All the resources
01:05:17in Maplewood.
01:05:18Miss Lewis,
01:05:20how would you like
01:05:20us to deal with this?
01:05:23An eye
01:05:23for an eye.
01:05:27Since
01:05:28Miss Duke
01:05:29here
01:05:30loves
01:05:31ruining things,
01:05:34I'll target
01:05:35her precious
01:05:36Duke
01:05:37Industries.
01:05:39I want them
01:05:39bankrupt
01:05:40in ten minutes.
01:05:42You're bluffing.
01:05:44You're nobody.
01:05:45You'll always
01:05:45be a nobody.
01:05:46And you can't
01:05:47touch me.
01:05:48Then,
01:05:49consider this
01:05:50a test,
01:05:51Chloe.
01:05:52I didn't need
01:05:53my family's support
01:05:54with Shepard
01:05:55and I certainly
01:05:56don't need it now.
01:05:57Chloe,
01:05:58you dug your own grave.
01:06:00You think
01:06:00you can destroy
01:06:02Maplewood's leading
01:06:03family with just
01:06:04the Shepard group?
01:06:05Please.
01:06:06Hmm.
01:06:08We'll see.
01:06:09Dad?
01:06:16Slow down.
01:06:17What are you
01:06:17talking about?
01:06:20No.
01:06:22It's impossible.
01:06:24Chloe,
01:06:25what have you done?
01:06:26Years of hard work.
01:06:27Just draw it in minutes.
01:06:28What did you do?
01:06:35Well,
01:06:36Chloe,
01:06:37isn't this what you wanted?
01:06:39To give me
01:06:40a little taste
01:06:41of destruction?
01:06:42This is impossible.
01:06:44It's impossible!
01:06:46Chloe,
01:06:47what have you done?
01:06:49The news is everywhere.
01:06:51Shepard's launched
01:06:51a full-scale assault
01:06:52on the stock market.
01:06:54They're hammering
01:06:55our shares!
01:06:56Ow!
01:06:57Are you sure
01:06:57it's just Shepard?
01:06:58Yes!
01:06:59Shareholders
01:06:59are dumping
01:07:00our stock
01:07:01like it's a hot potato.
01:07:03We could go bankrupt.
01:07:05You've ruined everything!
01:07:06Don't worry,
01:07:07Mr. Duke.
01:07:08When
01:07:08your company
01:07:09does go bankrupt,
01:07:11I'll buy it.
01:07:12At a fire sale price.
01:07:13Your employees
01:07:14won't even be affected.
01:07:15Brilliant.
01:07:16A masterstroke,
01:07:18Miss Lewis.
01:07:19Now,
01:07:20this
01:07:21is my event.
01:07:23Please leave.
01:07:25Brian,
01:07:25I did this for us!
01:07:27Everything I did,
01:07:28I did for us,
01:07:29Brian!
01:07:32Chloe,
01:07:32you need help.
01:07:35These feelings
01:07:36you have for me,
01:07:37it's not love.
01:07:39It's obsession.
01:07:41Enough!
01:07:43If you don't want
01:07:43to ruin everything
01:07:44completely,
01:07:45you'll come with me
01:07:46right now.
01:07:48Chloe!
01:07:49Right now!
01:07:50Go!
01:07:51Go!
01:07:52Chloe!
01:07:53Laura!
01:07:54This isn't
01:08:00Arma!
01:08:01Get out of me!
01:08:03What is it?
01:08:03What?
01:08:04You hear me?
01:08:07What is going on here?
01:08:09Did they finally
01:08:10expose Laura's lies?
01:08:11Shepard Group.
01:08:12They're the new partner
01:08:13that's partnering up
01:08:14with Lewis Group
01:08:15from Maplewood.
01:08:16They're handling
01:08:17all future construction projects.
01:08:18That can't be!
01:08:20What about us?
01:08:21That was our project!
01:08:23Remember,
01:08:23Laura teamed up with Brian.
01:08:25The Harrison Group
01:08:26is practically out.
01:08:27We have no chance.
01:08:28We can't give up
01:08:29that easily.
01:08:30Remember,
01:08:31Ian Lewis himself
01:08:32appointed me
01:08:33as general manager.
01:08:34In a few days,
01:08:35he promised that
01:08:36he would let us meet
01:08:36with the new heir.
01:08:38You're right.
01:08:39If we can just
01:08:39meet with the new heir,
01:08:40we can bypass
01:08:41the Shepherds
01:08:42and meet directly
01:08:43with the Lewis Group.
01:08:43We just have to
01:08:45play their little game
01:08:46and see who
01:08:47comes out on top.
01:08:49Sure.
01:08:53Vice Presidents,
01:08:55allow me to
01:08:55introduce my associate,
01:08:57Brian Shepard.
01:08:59I'm sure
01:09:00I've mentioned him before.
01:09:01Mr. Shepard,
01:09:02it's finally a pleasure
01:09:03to meet you.
01:09:04We've looked into
01:09:05your company's
01:09:06financial review.
01:09:08Very impressive.
01:09:10Thank you, bud.
01:09:12A large part
01:09:12of that success.
01:09:13is next to Ms. Lewis.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16She practically
01:09:17saved me from
01:09:18disaster
01:09:18three times over now.
01:09:20Brian,
01:09:20you can just
01:09:21call me Laura.
01:09:23Ms. Lewis'
01:09:24recommendation
01:09:25is very telling,
01:09:26Mr. Shepard.
01:09:27Perhaps today
01:09:28clarifies everything.
01:09:30Mr. Shepard,
01:09:31this opportunity
01:09:32is gone.
01:09:34Seize it.
01:09:36A woman like Laura
01:09:37is not easy to find.
01:09:39Thank you for
01:09:40your kind words,
01:09:40Mr. Vice President.
01:09:43Did Laura send you
01:09:51to kill me?
01:09:52Laura?
01:09:53Hardly.
01:09:54I'm Ian Lewis,
01:09:56CEO and rightful
01:09:57heir of the Lewis Group.
01:10:01So you're Laura's
01:10:02uncle?
01:10:03In the flesh.
01:10:05So Laura really is
01:10:06your niece?
01:10:07Yes,
01:10:08little Laura.
01:10:10She just threw away
01:10:11her birthright
01:10:12about two,
01:10:13three years ago.
01:10:14Ran off and married
01:10:15a nobody
01:10:16from Maplewood.
01:10:17I think he was
01:10:18a Harrison.
01:10:19Now Laura's got
01:10:20the VPs
01:10:20and Mr. Yates
01:10:21on her side.
01:10:22Did you hear
01:10:23she's throwing a banquet
01:10:23in a few days
01:10:24to announce
01:10:24her official takeover?
01:10:26And we can't
01:10:27let that happen,
01:10:28can we,
01:10:28my dear?
01:10:30If you're
01:10:30Ian Lewis,
01:10:31wouldn't you have
01:10:32the family ring?
01:10:33Well my dear,
01:10:34that's where
01:10:35you come in,
01:10:35Miss Duke.
01:10:36We need you
01:10:37to relinquish
01:10:38my ring.
01:10:40What if I,
01:10:41what if I fail?
01:10:42My family is
01:10:43already ruined.
01:10:44Yes,
01:10:45you are in a
01:10:45spot of bother,
01:10:46I must say.
01:10:48But,
01:10:48if successful,
01:10:50I guarantee
01:10:50that you
01:10:51and the Duke
01:10:52family
01:10:52will get back
01:10:53everything you've
01:10:54lost.
01:10:55Laura's got the
01:10:56VPs and Brian
01:10:57on her side.
01:10:58How can I
01:10:58possibly get the
01:10:59ring?
01:11:00There is a way,
01:11:01you know,
01:11:01that we can make
01:11:02Laura relinquish
01:11:04and give up
01:11:05that ring
01:11:06willingly.
01:11:09Laura,
01:11:10my dear,
01:11:10welcome.
01:11:11Uncle Ian,
01:11:12it's so good
01:11:14to see you.
01:11:18Laura.
01:11:19It's so good
01:11:19to see you.
01:11:21And you,
01:11:21it's been
01:11:22too long,
01:11:23two,
01:11:24three years
01:11:25perhaps.
01:11:26How have you
01:11:26been?
01:11:27I've been well,
01:11:28Uncle Ian.
01:11:29Thank you for
01:11:30asking.
01:11:31I see you,
01:11:32you've been
01:11:32busy keeping
01:11:33Lewis Group
01:11:34afloat.
01:11:35Yes.
01:11:35It's been easy.
01:11:36Indeed.
01:11:37Somebody had
01:11:38to.
01:11:38I mean,
01:11:39after you left
01:11:39me with
01:11:40everything to do
01:11:41without a safe
01:11:42pair of hands,
01:11:43I hate to think
01:11:43it would have
01:11:44happened to the
01:11:44company.
01:11:46Actually,
01:11:46Uncle Ian,
01:11:47from what I've
01:11:48heard,
01:11:49you've lost
01:11:50billions with
01:11:51some questionable
01:11:52investment decisions.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55Minor mistakes.
01:11:56Minor.
01:11:57Don't worry,
01:11:58Uncle Ian.
01:11:59I won't
01:11:59hold it
01:11:59against you.

01:12:21Of course.

01:12:24left.

01:13:48Laura!
01:13:48Where are you?
01:13:51Laura!
01:13:52Laura!
01:13:54Where are you?
01:13:55Laura!
01:13:57Laura,
01:13:57where are you?
01:13:58Laura!
01:14:03I got you.
01:14:06You weren't
01:14:07expecting that,
01:14:08were you?
01:14:18Finally.
01:14:20Looks like
01:14:21your little boyfriend
01:14:21got turned around.
01:14:23What the?
01:14:24Laura,
01:14:24where are you?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:25Laura?
01:14:26Go shut your mouth.
01:14:28Chloe,
01:14:29what have you done?
01:14:31You out of your mind?
01:14:32Out of my mind?
01:14:34You were the one
01:14:34that left me
01:14:35for that tramp
01:14:36and destroyed my life!
01:14:37That's not true.
01:14:38You were the one
01:14:39who messed up!
01:14:40Ryan!
01:14:41Laura!
01:14:44Stay where you are.
01:14:46You better
01:14:46come alone.
01:14:48You shot this knife,
01:14:49Chloe.
01:14:50This is insane!
01:14:52Insane?
01:14:53I did this for us,
01:14:54Brian!
01:14:55We were meant
01:14:56to be together.
01:14:58Us?
01:14:59You've gone crazy!
01:15:01I'm here out of here.
01:15:02Chloe,
01:15:03kidnapping
01:15:03is a very
01:15:05serious event.
01:15:06They're going to
01:15:07lock you up
01:15:07for years!
01:15:09You think I care
01:15:10about jail time?
01:15:12All I care about
01:15:12is tearing the YouTube
01:15:13apart.
01:15:14You don't deserve him.
01:15:17What have you done?
01:15:18You've destroyed
01:15:19my life!
01:15:20My company,
01:15:21everything!
01:15:23Now I'm going to
01:15:24destroy your life.
01:15:26Give me
01:15:26your family ring now.
01:15:29Give it to me!
01:15:30This is about the ring.
01:15:32Did my Uncle Ian
01:15:34put you up to this?
01:15:36You know, Chloe,
01:15:37trying to kill me,
01:15:40that's foolish.
01:15:41Because who do you
01:15:43think is going to win?
01:15:45You?
01:15:46That little knife?
01:15:48Or...
01:15:49me?
01:15:51Something a little bit
01:15:52more persuasive.
01:16:01Freeze!
01:16:02Don't move, anyone.
01:16:03Don't move.
01:16:08You're about to be
01:16:08arrested for kidnapping.
01:16:10Miss Lewis,
01:16:12having fun without me?
01:16:14I'm hurt.
01:16:15Are you hurt?
01:16:18No, I'm okay.
01:16:22Tell me, Chloe.
01:16:25Who put you up to this,
01:16:27Chloe?
01:16:28Why should I tell you?
01:16:29You're going to kill me
01:16:30anyway.
01:16:32Chloe, I don't have
01:16:33a problem with you.
01:16:34But if you don't talk,
01:16:37your beloved Duke
01:16:39Industries might run
01:16:40into some.
01:16:42Well, I'm recording
01:16:42everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:45So the choice is yours,
01:16:46Chloe.
01:16:47Talk,
01:16:48or face the consequences.
01:16:50Fine.
01:16:51It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:53He said he'd help Duke
01:16:55Industries if I kept you
01:16:56away from the bank room
01:16:57today.
01:16:59Did you get all of that,
01:17:00Mr. Yates?
01:17:01I'm recording everything,
01:17:03Miss Lewis.
01:17:06Oh, every word,
01:17:07Miss Lewis.
01:17:08Are you ready to play
01:17:09a game, Brian?
01:17:21This is crazy.
01:17:23Are we really sure
01:17:23we can do this?
01:17:24All these big companies
01:17:25here, it's crazy.
01:17:27Absolutely.
01:17:27The Lewis Group is under
01:17:29new leadership.
01:17:30We can talk to the
01:17:31heiress herself.
01:17:32Exactly.
01:17:33We just need to make sure
01:17:34we make a good impression
01:17:35on the new heir.
01:17:37There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:38You can introduce us.
01:17:39Let's go.
01:17:40Yeah.
01:17:43Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:44I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:45We spoke on the phone
01:17:45the other day.
01:17:47This is Ben Harrison
01:17:48from Harrison Group.
01:17:49How do you do?
01:17:49We're the company that...
01:17:51Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:53Miss Smith, you're the one
01:17:53who exposed Laura's
01:17:55little drama.
01:17:56Now, look, I'm not here
01:17:57for idle chatter.
01:18:03Good evening, ladies
01:18:04and gentlemen.
01:18:04Could I ask you all
01:18:05to be seated, please?
01:18:09The moment you've all
01:18:10been waiting for.
01:18:12Tonight marks a new chapter
01:18:13in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:18:15A night where the rightful
01:18:17heir takes their place.
01:18:19Would you please join me
01:18:20in welcoming the heir
01:18:22to the Lewis Group,
01:18:23Miss Laura Lewis.
01:18:25Look, everybody, attention.
01:18:27Attention, please.
01:18:29There's been a recent
01:18:31development of some tragedy.
01:18:35I just got noticed
01:18:36from a phone call
01:18:37a couple of minutes ago
01:18:38that Laura has been
01:18:40in a car accident.
01:18:42And tragically,
01:18:43she hasn't made it.
01:18:44she has not survived.
01:18:49What?
01:18:50Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:53It doesn't matter now.
01:18:54She's gone.
01:18:55Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:56A tragic turn of events,
01:18:58Mr. Yates.
01:18:59But rest assured,
01:19:00the Lewis Group will continue
01:19:01under my competent leadership.
01:19:05Hold on!
01:19:07Who said that I'm dead?
01:19:10Laura!
01:19:14I don't understand.
01:19:17What's happening?
01:19:19Laura?
01:19:20But...
01:19:20Why aren't you...
01:19:21My apologies
01:19:22for the delay, everyone.
01:19:25There seems to be some
01:19:26misunderstanding.
01:19:28Laura, what are you doing here?
01:19:30You've got to stop this.
01:19:31If you upset the Lewis family anymore,
01:19:32we're all doomed.
01:19:33I said this once.
01:19:35Back off, then.
01:19:36I'm sorry.
01:19:41Thank you
01:19:42for coming, everyone.
01:19:43As I'm sure you know,
01:19:46tonight,
01:19:47I officially
01:19:48reclaim
01:19:49my title
01:19:50as the CEO
01:19:51of Lewis Group.
01:19:55Perhaps
01:19:56you
01:19:57could make some room for me.
01:19:59Uncle Ian?
01:20:00Impossible.
01:20:01How are you still alive?
01:20:03Well, clearly,
01:20:03I am alive
01:20:04and well,
01:20:05so
01:20:05why don't we get this started?
01:20:07No.
01:20:08You're not
01:20:09the rightful heir.
01:20:10You gave that away
01:20:11when you married
01:20:12Ben Harrison.
01:20:15Uncle Ian,
01:20:16is that seriously
01:20:16your argument
01:20:17that you have
01:20:17that I got married
01:20:18too quickly?
01:20:20Well,
01:20:21you went off to Maplewood
01:20:22three years ago
01:20:22and married a stranger
01:20:23and left me
01:20:25to work tirelessly
01:20:26keeping the company together.
01:20:28Uncle Ian,
01:20:28retire.
01:20:30Enjoy
01:20:31your retirement.
01:20:33Lewis Group
01:20:33will be perfectly fine
01:20:34without you.
01:20:35No.
01:20:36There can only be
01:20:37one heir
01:20:37and that's me.
01:20:40And the rightful heir
01:20:41has possession
01:20:42of this.
01:20:44You think a ring
01:20:45makes an heir?
01:20:47You're even more foolish
01:20:48than I could have
01:20:49ever imagined.
01:20:51Give that back to me.
01:20:53This.
01:20:54Yes.
01:20:54You think some
01:20:55shiny gold thing
01:20:57makes you the heir?
01:20:59Give it back.
01:21:00True leadership
01:21:02is about earning
01:21:04the respect
01:21:05of those around you.
01:21:07Not some stupid ring.
01:21:10Oh, my ring.
01:21:11What have you done?
01:21:11Where is it?
01:21:15My ring?
01:21:16Oh.
01:21:16Now,
01:21:18everyone,
01:21:18if I could have
01:21:19your attention.
01:21:20How dare you?
01:21:20Let me show you
01:21:22how a true
01:21:23heir
01:21:24earns a ring like that.
01:21:28Talk.
01:21:29Fucking
01:21:30awesome.
01:21:31Fine.
01:21:32It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:33He said he helped
01:21:35you get to strength
01:21:36if I kept you
01:21:36away from the bankers
01:21:37today.
01:21:40Oh,
01:21:41quite the spectacle,
01:21:42Mr. Lewis.
01:21:43Security,
01:21:45escort him out.
01:21:46And Ian,
01:21:47don't fall over.
01:21:48It's all lies.
01:21:50It's all lies.
01:21:51Fakery.
01:21:51It's fake news.
01:21:52The proof is clear.
01:21:53Get him out of here.
01:21:54Now.

01:22:38This was never
01:22:39my idea.
01:22:40This was all
01:22:40Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:41I don't want a divorce.
01:22:43What?
01:22:43Ben,
01:22:44what are you saying?
01:22:45You came to me first.
01:22:46Classic Ben.
01:22:48Something goes wrong
01:22:49and you start
01:22:49pointing the fingers
01:22:50at all the women

01:22:55another chance.

01:22:57shut you out?
01:22:58I'm just a cleaner,
01:23:00remember?
01:23:01I'm just a useless
01:23:02housewife.
