Transcript
00:00:00You're going to be a father.
00:00:29What's she doing here?
00:00:30What do you think?
00:00:31No need to hide anymore.
00:00:32I'm leaving you.
00:00:33For Catherine.
00:00:34Unlike you, I'm young and rich.
00:00:35I can give Bradley what he deserves.
00:00:36Catherine hired me to be vice president of the family's hospital.
00:00:37She's also way better in bed.
00:00:38What's that?
00:00:39She's pregnant?
00:00:40What?
00:00:41I don't know.
00:00:42She must be faking it to trap you.

00:06:34and charismatic well at least I don't have to worry if oh it's me a grandson
00:06:45but I wonder Joshua if you can even warm up enough to give me a child we need an
00:06:52heir after all Eleanor that's enough I'm just saying perhaps Alex is a better fit
00:07:01quite the contrary actually Josh was very passionate especially in the
00:07:08bedroom no doubt that you'll have that air soon
00:07:18pure information passion is not in my DNA in order to align with my personal
00:07:24brand but still thank you for signing up I just didn't appreciate your step
00:07:32attitude get the campaign ready want that check out
00:07:47no hey I need a favor you're right Alex Eleanor later behind a smear campaign
00:07:58against Joshua who died in PRs already involves what agency are we using we're
00:08:05sort of siding bids are open for this year's contract perfect I have a plan

00:09:05partnership I have evidence of Alex's scheme against you don't worry I've
00:09:16already taken care of it I always knew Eleanor and Alex to be
00:09:21optimistic a smear campaign is the easiest way to sway the shareholders
00:09:31opinion and Eleanor's background in PR made this more predictable more
00:09:36perceptive than I thought why are you helping me our family's

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