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