00:00:00What the heck happened last night?
00:00:23Oh God, did I really sleep with a cowboy?
00:00:30You're just going to leave without saying goodbye?
00:00:55Oh, uh, I forgot to pay you.
00:00:59Two grand should cover it.
00:01:09Goodbye, and I will see you...
00:01:14...never.
00:01:16Goodbye.
00:01:27The truth is, I met her once seven years ago.
00:01:31I just arrived in Paris for my foreign exchange program, but I got my wallet and phone stolen on my first day here.
00:01:39Ah, excuse me.
00:01:40Who am I to do?
00:01:41You speak English.
00:01:44Um, please.
00:02:06American?
00:02:11Yes.
00:02:12Yes, you speak English.
00:02:14Yeah, and let me guess, your wallet and your phone were stolen.
00:02:18How'd you know that?
00:02:19I mean, it happens. I was in your shoes not too long ago.
00:02:22But this should be enough to get you a taxi to wherever you want to go.
00:02:27Good luck.
00:02:29Wait, I didn't get your name.
00:02:43Oh, Sophie Swift! Smile for the camera!
00:02:53Oh, if your fiancé finds out about your little one-night stand, think he'll still marry you?
00:02:57You still think I'd marry that lying, cheating, tiny dick man whore?
00:03:00You know what? Since you like to sleep with him, why don't you marry him?
00:03:04Well, I'm going to show Derek and Daddy these photos.
00:03:06See what they have to say.
00:03:09Hey, psycho, what are you doing?
00:03:12Oops. Looks like you'll need a new phone.
00:03:16Here, go buy one.
00:03:20Now get out before I call security.
00:03:39Hey.
00:03:43So, you work at the hotels, huh?
00:03:45Actually, this is just one of the many hotels...
00:03:47Oh, um, hi. My car is here.
00:03:50Keep this.
00:03:52You did really good last night.
00:03:57One of the many hotels that I own.
00:04:05This woman has always given me money.
00:04:08Wait. Does she really think I'm a cowboy?
00:04:19Hey, boss. Still on for golf with the senator?
00:04:22I've rescheduled.
00:04:24Take me to the Maple Plaza site. I need to check on a few things.
00:04:39Look into Sophie Swift for me. I need to know everything about her.
00:04:44Got it, boss.
00:04:55Well, if she's going to sleep with some random male escort, I don't want to marry her anymore.
00:05:01But Derek, if you don't marry Sophie, she can't inherit her late mother's company.
00:05:07We talked about this.
00:05:08You heard what Stella said. She saw Sophie with another man. It's not my fault.
00:05:13Daddy, don't be mad. You know how irresponsible Sophie is.
00:05:24Sophie, where the hell are you?
00:05:28Sophie, where the hell are you?
00:05:32Come home now.
00:05:45Yeah, boss. What you need?
00:05:46So the first round of the state inspection is next week, so we gotta make sure everything's good to go.
00:05:50It's all under control, boss. We got it.
00:05:52See, look, the trash over by the trash can needs to go in the trash can. It can't be laying around on the ground, right?
00:05:57I'm gonna sleep, boss. I'll take care of it right away.
00:06:03Speak in Spanish.
00:06:12Where the hell are you? You need to come home right now.
00:06:15What do you want, Dad? I'm meeting with the construction site manager to go over some changes to the blueprint.
00:06:19Your sister told me everything.
00:06:21Have you no shame? Derek wants to break off the engagement.
00:06:26You need to come home and beg him to take you back if you wanna save the company.
00:06:31I don't wanna marry him either.
00:06:33He's there with you, isn't he?
00:06:35Put me on speaker.
00:06:38Hey, Derek. Fuck you.
00:06:40You turn 25 in three days.
00:06:43How do you expect to inherit your mother's company if you don't get married? It's clearly stated in the will.
00:06:49You know what? I will marry anybody else but him. Goodbye.
00:06:58It's you.
00:07:01It's you.
00:07:05So, you work the hotels at night and then here during the day.
00:07:09Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.
00:07:11I usually handle it just fine, but I'm especially tired after last night.
00:07:15How many rounds?
00:07:17Oh, hey, stop it. I'm right there.
00:07:20Anyway, what brings you here today, Ms. Swift?
00:07:23You can call me Sophie.
00:07:24And I'm supposed to meet the construction site manager, but I'm late and I think that they've already left.
00:07:30So, I guess I can just call them later.
00:07:33Oh, snap. She's from the architecture firm that's partnered with us?
00:07:37Justin, you must be exhausted from working two jobs.
00:07:41Why don't you come work for me instead?
00:07:43Huh?
00:07:44I can double your current salary, whatever it is.
00:07:47Where are we going? What's the job?
00:07:49City Hall. And the job is to marry me.
00:07:52What?
00:08:01Okay, husband. So, from now on, I pay you 10k a month for as long as we're married and it was a pleasure doing business with you.
00:08:08You got it, boss. Or should I say wife?
00:08:11Boss wife.
00:08:13Let the show begin.
00:08:24Nice of you to finally come home.
00:08:26If I were you, I'd be begging Derek to take me back.
00:08:30Derek probably doesn't even want to see her anymore. That's why she came crawling back here.
00:08:34That's funny coming from two homewreckers.
00:08:37How dare you?
00:08:39Tony, do you hear your daughter?
00:08:42Rude rat.
00:08:43I am not here to listen to you guys talk down on me.
00:08:46I'm here to show you my marriage certificate.
00:08:48And in about three days time, I will be taking over my late mother's architecture firm.
00:08:53And you guys can't do anything about it.
00:08:57Who the fuck is Justin Lake?
00:09:02Justin Lake.
00:09:04Name sounds familiar.
00:09:05I know I've heard that name before.
00:09:08Wait, is that the guy from this morning?
00:09:10You married some random cowboy?
00:09:13What?
00:09:14That's appalling.
00:09:15Oh, not as appalling as you.
00:09:17At least I didn't sleep with a married man and get pregnant.
00:09:20Don't you dare talk to my mother that way.
00:09:24You need to file for divorce right now or never set foot in this house again.
00:09:31I'm okay with that.
00:09:32I was just here to show you my certificate.
00:09:34So.
00:09:37Holy fuck, Sophie.
00:09:39You got married to a stranger.
00:09:45Holy fuck, Sophie.
00:09:46You got married to a stranger.
00:09:48Yes, Kendall.
00:09:49You asked me three times already.
00:09:50And like I said, fake marriage so that I can inherit my mother's company.
00:09:53Yeah, still.
00:09:54Marriage is a huge deal.
00:09:56What am I supposed to do?
00:09:58Marry Derek?
00:10:02You're right.
00:10:03Anyone is better than Derek.
00:10:05Have no mercy for cheaters.
00:10:08So, how did you meet this Justin Lake?
00:10:13Two grand should cover it.
00:10:16I'd rather not say that.
00:10:18Okay.
00:10:19What does he do for a living?
00:10:21Okay, I'd rather not answer that one either.
00:10:23You gotta give me something.
00:10:25Look, point being, I am paying him ten grand a month to play my husband for a couple months.
00:10:29Wait.
00:10:30You're paying him ten grand?
00:10:32And then we get divorced.
00:10:33I'm your assistant.
00:10:34Why is his salary higher than mine?
00:10:36I want a raise.
00:10:37A raise.
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:43I need you to look into someone for me.
00:10:45His name?
00:10:47Justin Lake.
00:11:04Boss, what's happening?
00:11:06You've been like this all morning.
00:11:08I got married yesterday to the girl of my dreams.
00:11:10Wait, the Paris girl?
00:11:13Yep.
00:11:14Wait, let me guess.
00:11:16Sophie Swift?
00:11:17Yep.
00:11:18She's with Swift Architecture.
00:11:20We're actually working with them on the Maple Blossom project.
00:11:22Huh.
00:11:23She doesn't really know who I am yet.
00:11:25Huh?
00:11:26And she's giving me ten grand a month.
00:11:28Isn't she cute?
00:11:29Huh?
00:11:35Hey.
00:11:36Hey yourself.
00:11:37Alright, first day on the job.
00:11:39I texted you an address.
00:11:40Please meet me there.
00:11:41You got it.
00:11:44I gotta go.
00:11:45What do you mean you gotta go?
00:11:46Wait, where?
00:11:48She called.
00:11:49I gotta go.
00:11:50That's it.
00:11:51Wait, what about our meetings today?
00:11:52You gotta cancel it.
00:11:53Your wife's more important.
00:11:55Huh?
00:12:05Looking good, Joey.
00:12:07Welcome, Ms. Swift.
00:12:09I have your address right here if you...
00:12:11Actually, my husband is coming in a minute and he needs some decent suits.
00:12:15And you're the only designer in L.A. that I trust.
00:12:17Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, Ms. Swift, but this is too last minute.
00:12:22I am swamped by orders.
00:12:29I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:12:31It's okay.
00:12:32It's okay.
00:12:33Ms. Swift, now how come you didn't tell me that your husband was...
00:12:41Was such a handsome young man.
00:12:45Justin Lake.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Actually, I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.
00:12:51Everything looks so expensive.
00:12:53You really don't have to do this for me.
00:12:55Well, you're my husband.
00:12:56Of course I do.
00:12:57But I'm happy to, so...
00:12:59Can you get his measurements, please?
00:13:01Oh, there's no need.
00:13:04I mean...
00:13:08I mean...
00:13:09Well, I've been doing this for too long.
00:13:12One look and I have a rough number in mind.
00:13:16Okay, well, see, then this is why we're here.
00:13:18Joey's the expert of experts.
00:13:19Well, I have some suits you'll look stunning in, Mr. Lake.
00:13:23Please, follow me.
00:13:25I'll wait for you out here, okay?
00:13:26Okay.
00:13:31These two racks are customized for you, Mr. Lake.
00:13:35Grab a few options and I can pretend to put them on.
00:13:52Hmm.
00:13:56It's not bad.
00:13:58Okay, what kind of witchcraft is this?
00:14:00Every suit fits you like a glove.
00:14:03Trade secrets.
00:14:24Sorry.
00:14:25Sorry.
00:14:26No, that's okay.
00:14:28We're actually going to take all three suits.
00:14:31Well, actually, we're having our annual sale on now.
00:14:37All the suits you chose are 30% off.
00:14:39Really?
00:14:40You never have sales.
00:14:42Let me wrap these up for you.
00:14:44Okay.
00:14:48Promise I'll make enough money to pay you back.
00:14:50You are my husband, okay?
00:14:51You don't have to pay me back.
00:14:55At least not with money.
00:15:09Wow.
00:15:11I've never had a woman take me shopping, buy me expensive clothes, and offer to take me home.
00:15:16Lucky you.
00:15:17You just won the jackpot.
00:15:19There's no argument there.
00:15:21Come on, dinner's on me.
00:15:22Is this Sophie?
00:15:26There really is you.
00:15:27What do you want?
00:15:28So, Stella was right about you.
00:15:30This must be your new boy toy, huh?
00:15:34And you must be the cheating, lying, tiny-dick man-whore, right?
00:15:39You bitch. Is that what you told him?
00:15:44You bitch. Is that what you told him?
00:15:50You call my wife a bitch again, and I won't hesitate to break your nose.
00:15:55You hear me, bitch?
00:15:57Whatever, man. Just chill the fuck out.
00:16:01Now shoot, unless you want to get hit.
00:16:04Whatever, arrogant prick.
00:16:10Come on, I'm extra hungry now.
00:16:12Okay.
00:16:16Are you sure you want to pay for dinner? This place is very expensive.
00:16:20Look, you pay me ten grand a month, I think I can comfortably afford this.
00:16:23Don't worry about it. Order whatever you'd like.
00:16:26Alright, don't blame me if I break your wallet.
00:16:32Mr. Lake, why didn't you tell me you were coming in tonight?
00:16:39Justin, is he talking to you?
00:16:46Dennis.
00:16:47My good buddy Dennis, long time no see. How are you?
00:16:51You know the GM here?
00:16:54Yeah, from when I used to work here for work.
00:17:00Right. Hi, Justin. From when you used to work here.
00:17:04My brother. We really miss you around here.
00:17:09What did you use to do here?
00:17:11I would, uh... I'd bring clients.
00:17:16So you rep shared with the restaurant?
00:17:20Yes.
00:17:24That's clever. No wonder you brought me here. Why didn't you just tell me?
00:17:29So you ready to order?
00:17:34Teddy bear?
00:17:46Teddy bear?
00:17:48Sophie bear.
00:17:50Come here.
00:17:51Hi. When did you get back from Barcelona?
00:17:54This morning.
00:17:55Why didn't you call me to come get you from the airport?
00:17:57I wanted to be a surprise.
00:17:59Consider me surprised. How did you even know I was here?
00:18:03Dummy. Come on. You remember you shared your location with my phone?
00:18:07After what happened last time?
00:18:09Come on. Any more questions?
00:18:11Okay, okay. Oh, Justin, meet Teddy, my best friend.
00:18:16Justin. Teddy.
00:18:21That's a firm handshake you got there.
00:18:25Am I interrupting anything? Actually, we were...
00:18:28No. Join us for dinner.
00:18:30Great. I'm starving.
00:18:33Great.
00:18:43So how is business in Barcelona?
00:18:45Fantastic. We broke record sales three years in a row.
00:18:48Revenue is up over half a billion now.
00:18:50Congratulations. Your father must be so proud.
00:18:55Wow. Half a billion?
00:18:58What line of work are you in, Todd?
00:19:00TED. It's construction.
00:19:02We're one of the largest construction companies in Spain.
00:19:05Yeah, my mom was an architect. That's why we're family friends.
00:19:08Well, profit margin in construction is pretty low.
00:19:11So you're saying your revenue is 500 million.
00:19:14That means you took down, what, 300 million?
00:19:17Even after taxes, that's...
00:19:18Justin, stop being so rude.
00:19:20No, no. It's fine. It's fine.
00:19:22He's right. We have a long way to go.
00:19:24I'm certain we'll surpass late construction here in no time.
00:19:28What about you, Justin? What type of work are you in?
00:19:37Shit. Justin must feel so embarrassed.
00:19:40Oh, Justin works with me now. He is my assistant architect.
00:19:46That's nice.
00:19:54So, I flew back from Barcelona to take care of some emergency family matters.
00:19:57But I'll be here for a while. It's time.
00:19:59Call me whenever. We need to hang out.
00:20:02Of course.
00:20:03I haven't seen you in, what, a year?
00:20:05A long time.
00:20:06We need to catch up?
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:11Bye, Ted.
00:20:12Bye.
00:20:21That's your bestie, huh?
00:20:22Well, we practically grew up together.
00:20:24He is like my brother from another mother.
00:20:26By the way, I know it got a little awkward when Teddy started asking you about your line of business.
00:20:32So I have another proposal.
00:20:34Why don't you join my company?
00:20:36Oh, fuck.
00:20:40No shade to your previous profession.
00:20:43I just think anyone making money with their hard work should be treated with respect.
00:20:48Sophie, the thing is...
00:20:50Just come in for an interview.
00:20:54Please. I think a career change won't hurt you and it'll help our story.
00:20:59And here is your bill, sir.
00:21:04Just give me a time and a place, boss, and I'll be there.
00:21:06Yay!
00:21:15No need to be nervous, okay?
00:21:17We're just gonna chat a bit.
00:21:18Sounds good to me.
00:21:19So, do you have your resume on you?
00:21:21I sure do.
00:21:24I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
00:21:26Nothing special.
00:21:27Don't worry.
00:21:28Sophie has already chosen you as her prince charming.
00:21:30I'm pretty sure you've done something.
00:21:33Oh!
00:21:38This is incredible.
00:21:40You went to L-I-S-A-A in Paris?
00:21:43That's correct.
00:21:44You were the chief designer of the reconstruction of Shangri-La, Paris.
00:21:48You got that right, too.
00:21:49And you designed Philharmonie de Paris as well?
00:21:55You're hired.
00:22:03I just got hired at Swift Architecture.
00:22:05I start today.
00:22:06What?
00:22:07Are you trying to blow up my eardrums?
00:22:09But boss, what about late construction?
00:22:11I'm gonna count on you to take care of the company while I'm gone.
00:22:13Okay?
00:22:14Bye.
00:22:15Boss.
00:22:17Boss!
00:22:20Take care of what company?
00:22:26Take care of what company?
00:22:29Take care of Tommy.
00:22:30Take care of Tommy.
00:22:32My pet goldfish.
00:22:35Since I'll be working for you now and I'll be super busy,
00:22:38a pet goldfish requires a lot of work.
00:22:42Water changes and everything.
00:22:45Okay.
00:22:46Anyways, come on.
00:22:47I'll give you a ride.
00:22:49Where are we going?
00:22:50Well, I don't want to overwork you on your first day.
00:22:52Let me give you a ride home.
00:22:54My home?
00:22:58This is where you live.
00:22:59Got it.
00:23:00Thanks for the ride.
00:23:01I'll catch you later.
00:23:04You can head out now.
00:23:07No worries.
00:23:08Go ahead.
00:23:10You know, I forgot my key.
00:23:13I'll wait for my roomie to get here.
00:23:15You share this place with a roomie.
00:23:18Four.
00:23:19Four roomies.
00:23:20No, no, no.
00:23:21This won't do.
00:23:24Wait.
00:23:25Huh?
00:23:30What brings us here today?
00:23:31Well, we're looking at new houses, obviously.
00:23:34I have my eye on the single family.
00:23:36It's a little bit pricey, though.
00:23:38About $30 million.
00:23:39But the design of Lake Enterprise is stunning
00:23:41and the location could not be any better.
00:23:43Lake Enterprise?
00:23:45Let's go buy you a house.
00:23:47Me?
00:23:48Transportation around here is super convenient.
00:23:51Subway is just around the corner.
00:23:53Excellent school district.
00:23:55And we have a new Maple Plaza opening next year.
00:23:59What's your take on the neighborhood?
00:24:02It's great.
00:24:03Too many pamphlets on this site.
00:24:05Yes, I'll be right back.
00:24:17If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.
00:24:23Hey, sis.
00:24:24House hunting so soon after getting married?
00:24:26That's none of your business.
00:24:28Well, Derek insists on buying me a house.
00:24:30That's right, babe.
00:24:31Whichever one you fancy, I'll buy it for you.
00:24:35The Swift, here are the pamphlets you asked for.
00:24:37Oh, I'll take whichever lot she's looking at.
00:24:39Oh.
00:24:40Use this card.
00:24:45Sorry, it's mine now.
00:24:50I don't know.
00:24:51I just have a feeling today is not a good day for you two.
00:24:53What are you, a psychic?
00:24:55This guy is delusional.
00:24:57Hey, let me tell you how this is going to work out for you, compadre.
00:25:00Sorry, sir.
00:25:01Our card processing is down for maintenance.
00:25:05What the fuck?
00:25:07Do you take check?
00:25:10Sorry, our system is down.
00:25:12We won't be able to process any payments today.
00:25:14Forget it.
00:25:16Let's get out of here, then.
00:25:18Let's get out of here, then.
00:25:22I guess we'll just have to come back.
00:25:25Miss Swift, our servers are back online.
00:25:27Already?
00:25:28And we have a promotion today.
00:25:33Fifty percent off.
00:25:34Fifty percent off.
00:25:39Deal.
00:25:43Deal.
00:25:45Oh, my God.
00:25:47You're kind of adorable when you're happy, huh?
00:25:49Fifteen million? I could buy another one.
00:25:52But how does he have the authority for that kind of promo?
00:25:57You think he's some undercover billionaire?
00:26:00What if he's Mr. Lake?
00:26:02The CEO of Lake Enterprise?
00:26:06He does look quite handsome, by the way.
00:26:09Right?
00:26:10I'm not handsome?
00:26:12I'm not handsome?
00:26:23Daddy, Sophie took her boy toy to buy a house today.
00:26:26And she had a huge argument with Derek.
00:26:29She knows exactly how to rile me.
00:26:33I bet Derek is pissed.
00:26:35Well, what if I marry Derek?
00:26:39What if I marry Derek and bring the families together?
00:26:43Absolutely not.
00:26:45Their engagement is already a scandal.
00:26:48If you marry Derek, our entire family will be a joke.
00:26:56If only Sophie were as obedient as you.
00:27:03I have no idea what any of this shit means.
00:27:06Derek.
00:27:11Sophie's taking over the company today.
00:27:13I have nothing.
00:27:15Don't worry.
00:27:17I won't let her win.
00:27:37So, today marks the first day of me taking over my mother's company.
00:27:41And I am very eager to work with you all.
00:27:43Your scandal with Derek has tarnished the company's image.
00:27:46Indeed.
00:27:48And the stock took another hit today.
00:27:50How are you going to address that?
00:27:52This discussion has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:27:54But Derek has conspired with other firms against us.
00:27:58And I have no reason to believe that.
00:28:00And I have no reason to believe that.
00:28:02But Derek has conspired with other firms against us.
00:28:06This is all your fault.
00:28:08I will take care of this.
00:28:10And I can assure you that if I don't turn the company around in six months,
00:28:13I will step down voluntarily.
00:28:18Now, let's get back to work.
00:28:26Patrick.
00:28:28Sophie needs help.
00:28:30What do you need me to do, boss?
00:28:34I need you to sign a three-year exclusive deal with Swift Enterprise on my behalf.
00:28:41Mr. and Mrs. Swift.
00:28:43I hear your company's been having some trouble.
00:28:47Our stock's tanking.
00:28:49It's driving me crazy.
00:28:51It's all Sophie's fault.
00:28:53Sophie and I had a tiny misunderstanding.
00:28:56So she rushed into marriage to get back at me.
00:28:59But if she begs me to take her back and apologizes to me,
00:29:03I won't mind marrying her.
00:29:07You've always been a perfect match for Sophie.
00:29:10Once Sophie and I are married,
00:29:13our companies can unite,
00:29:15and we will be unstoppable.
00:29:19Make Sophie divorce him and dump that freeloader for good.
00:29:23I'll make sure Sophie marries you, Derek.
00:29:26All right.
00:29:28I won't take up any more of your time.
00:29:35Sophie, come home right away.
00:29:38It's urgent.
00:29:46What is your emergency?
00:29:48Divorce that loser husband and marry Derek.
00:29:52Now!
00:29:54That's your emergency?
00:29:56Your husband is a loser.
00:29:59Our stocks are tanking.
00:30:01Marry Derek and fix this shit.
00:30:04First of all, don't call my husband a loser.
00:30:06Second of all, your daughter is screwing Derek.
00:30:09So if you think that I'm going to marry him,
00:30:11you're delusional.
00:30:13And lastly, I will fix this.
00:30:15Without the help of that fucking cheater or any of you leeches.
00:30:18If you don't divorce that loser,
00:30:20don't ever come back.
00:30:22You are no daughter of mine.
00:30:26Fine. I won't.
00:30:29You were a horrible husband and mother,
00:30:31so it really doesn't surprise me of how shitty of a dad you are.
00:30:35The three of you are a family and I'm just your cash cow.
00:30:38That ends today.
00:30:40Do you want to have a drink with me?
00:30:53Whoa. Having a party, huh?
00:30:57Sorry, I was just settling in. I didn't know you were coming.
00:31:00Yeah, I should probably settle in myself.
00:31:03Wait, really?
00:31:05I just cut ties with my family, so cheers.
00:31:11Want to talk about it?
00:31:13What's there to talk about?
00:31:18Sophie.
00:31:21You don't have to smile all the time.
00:31:23It can be a shoulder to cry on too.
00:31:33Slow down. Slow down.
00:31:37Oh, you're lame.
00:31:39I think you've had enough.
00:31:50Sophie?
00:31:52Sophie?
00:31:54Let's get you some rest. Come on.
00:32:06Justin. Oh my God.
00:32:08Just in time. I made you coffee. What's up?
00:32:11Lake Enterprise just called me and they want to sign a long-term contract with us.
00:32:16This is everything that I needed.
00:32:18So I'm actually going to go meet them at Lake Enterprise right now.
00:32:21Perfect. I'll wait for you at the office.
00:32:24No, no, no. You're coming with me.
00:32:36Hey Justin, come this way with me.
00:33:07What's the fanciest restaurant you can think of?
00:33:21Olive Garden.
00:33:28And what are you doing here?
00:33:29That's none of your concern.
00:33:31Mr. Lake.
00:33:34Mr. Lake is not available at the moment, but you can have a seat and wait for him, sir.
00:33:38I know what you're up to.
00:33:40Forget it.
00:33:42Mr. Lake and I already struck up a deal.
00:33:45Oh, you know, Mr. Lake.
00:33:50You know, Mr. Lake.
00:33:52Of course we're.
00:33:55Well, why should I tell you?
00:33:58Oh, come on. You can say it.
00:34:01I don't want to.
00:34:05Mr. Brown, this way, please.
00:34:24I can't wait to work with you.
00:34:26That makes two of us.
00:34:33Bathroom. Be right back.
00:34:46Still waiting?
00:34:49Mr. Lake and I actually had a nice chat earlier.
00:34:52Really?
00:34:54Where is he now?
00:34:56He went to grab a bite.
00:35:00And he didn't invite you?
00:35:02I'm not hungry.
00:35:14Well, best of luck to you.
00:35:22I did not expect this project to go so smoothly.
00:35:32What do you want, Derek?
00:35:33I know you got that contract, but trust me.
00:35:36I won't let you win forever.
00:35:38Just you wait.
00:35:41You know what you sound like?
00:35:42A loser.
00:35:47Is this supposed to just hang up on me?
00:35:50What did he want?
00:35:53Forget Derek.
00:35:55Yeah, I don't want to talk about your ex.
00:35:57Let's talk about us.
00:35:59What's there to talk about?
00:36:01No talking. More doing.
00:36:14You're really talented.
00:36:16Why did you...
00:36:17Maybe I shouldn't ask too much about his past?
00:36:20Never mind.
00:36:22Okay, so you want this portion elevated right here?
00:36:24Yes.
00:36:25Okay.
00:36:26Sophie, you haven't been home lately.
00:36:29Where have you been?
00:36:30I thought you made it clear I'm no daughter of yours.
00:36:33You're such a brat.
00:36:35This the man you married?
00:36:40Nice to see you again.
00:36:41Save it.
00:36:42Sophie, I'm going to tell you one last time.
00:36:46Divorce him at once if you want to save the company.
00:36:49Let me tell you one last time.
00:36:51I am never, ever marrying Derek.
00:36:54I would rather die than marry that asshole.
00:37:01Come on, Justin. Let's go.
00:37:05And we just signed the contract with Lake Enterprise.
00:37:08I can save the company without Derek.
00:37:25You won't meet the fire safety protocols on the Maple Plaza project.
00:37:29I made sure of that.
00:37:31You're screwed.
00:37:33You prick.
00:37:35Beg me and I might consider letting you off.
00:37:42I can help with that.
00:37:45How?
00:37:48Just wait and see.
00:37:51Hey, Ted. I'm in trouble.
00:37:59Hey.
00:38:02Well, make yourself at home.
00:38:06I'll see you later.
00:38:08Bye.
00:38:09Bye.
00:38:10Bye.
00:38:11Bye.
00:38:12Bye.
00:38:13Bye.
00:38:14Bye.
00:38:15Bye.
00:38:17Well, make yourself at home.
00:38:19What happened? Let me hear it.
00:38:21Well, basically, Derek screwed me.
00:38:23I couldn't meet the fire safety protocols.
00:38:26All right. Let me text my guy. I got you.
00:38:30I'm counting on you, Teddy Bear.
00:38:32I got you, Sophie Bear.
00:38:38Hello?
00:38:39Hi, Ms. Swift. It's Patrick Brown.
00:38:42We sorted out the fire safety issue.
00:38:44That's fantastic. Thank you.
00:38:48I'm sure our partnership will be a resounding success.
00:38:51Absolutely.
00:38:58Thank you, Teddy Bear. The issue has been sorted.
00:39:01Already? I just texted my guy like two seconds ago.
00:39:05I guess they work fast.
00:39:07Oh, my God. Thank you.
00:39:08I guess so.
00:39:10Wow.
00:39:14Was that too quick a fix?
00:39:15Is that a bad thing?
00:39:33Look, I told you I could help you with the...
00:39:38What the hell are you doing here?
00:39:44What the hell are you doing here?
00:39:46I invited him. He's been a huge help.
00:39:50Could you maybe dress a little bit more appropriate when we have male guests over?
00:39:55Guest? He's my best friend.
00:39:58We've known each other longer than me and you.
00:40:00Anyway, I have good news.
00:40:02The whole fire safety issue? Resolved.
00:40:05I know.
00:40:07You know?
00:40:08Well, Ted fixed it just with one call, and it's all sorted.
00:40:12What? I'm the one who fixed it.
00:40:15Okay, hold on.
00:40:17Now I'm totally confused.
00:40:19Confused? You're doing this on purpose.
00:40:22Justin, why are you being so rude today?
00:40:27What is his problem?
00:40:33Patrick, why didn't you pick up when I called last night?
00:40:39Look into Ted Bass for me.
00:40:43There you are. I've been looking for you.
00:40:46What can I do for you, boss wife?
00:40:47Well, you've been acting kind of strange since last night.
00:40:50I just wanted to see if you were okay.
00:40:53Miss Ovie, the thing is...
00:41:00Mrs. Green? What's wrong?
00:41:02Miss, your mother's emerald necklace. It's been stolen.
00:41:05I was cleaning your mother's old room today and I couldn't find it.
00:41:08I couldn't find it anywhere.
00:41:09What? I'll be right there.
00:41:12Shh.
00:41:20I thought you weren't coming back here.
00:41:22How did you get in?
00:41:25Did you let her in?
00:41:28This house was paid for by my mother.
00:41:30I can return whenever I want.
00:41:32Where is my mother's emerald necklace?
00:41:35You mean my emerald necklace?
00:41:38I told you not to touch her stuff.
00:41:40Just give it to her, Karen.
00:41:41I don't have it.
00:41:43She must have lost it herself and come back to frame me.
00:41:48Dad, you know the truth.
00:41:50Mom's stuff was in her room. I have never touched it once.
00:41:54But I'm going to ask one more time.
00:41:56Where is my mother's necklace?
00:41:58Fine. I sold it at an auction.
00:42:02If you want it, you can buy it back yourself.
00:42:07Fuck you.
00:42:12Sir, according to my investigation, Karen sold the emerald necklace last month.
00:42:18It was the heirloom of Miss Sophie's late mother.
00:42:21Seems like they haven't learned their lesson.
00:42:23Let's head to the auction.
00:42:25It's time I reveal my true identity.
00:42:31I need for you to help me secure that necklace.
00:42:34I'm going to rub it in her face.
00:42:36Anything for you, babe.
00:42:38You can count on me.
00:42:41Oh, Sophie!
00:42:43You're here to bid on that emerald necklace, right?
00:42:45Poor thing. She's just wasting her time.
00:42:50And look at you.
00:42:51Got all dressed up, brought your little boy toy with you.
00:42:54But in the end, you'll leave with nothing but tears.
00:42:56You know, you two make the perfect couple.
00:42:59After all,
00:43:01Trash sticks with trash.
00:43:05Indeed. Trash does stick with trash.
00:43:11Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of tonight's collection,
00:43:14the exquisite emerald necklace.
00:43:18This one-of-a-kind piece was designed by the renowned Madame Dussault.
00:43:22I'm going to start the bidding at 1 million.
00:43:241.1 million.
00:43:262 million.
00:43:282 million. Are there any other bids?
00:43:302 million going once?
00:43:32I only borrowed 3 million from Ted.
00:43:352.1 million.
00:43:372.1 million.
00:43:392.1 million from Ted?
00:43:412.1 million.
00:43:443 million.
00:43:5010 million.
00:43:5110 million! Any more bids?
00:43:5310 million going once?
00:43:55Are you out of your mind?
00:43:57I got this.
00:43:5810 million going twice?
00:44:0210.1 million.
00:44:0515 million.
00:44:0615 million. I have 15 million.
00:44:0915 million going once.
00:44:1115 million going twice.
00:44:1315 million sold.
00:44:16We don't have 15 million.
00:44:18We're going to face legal repercussions if we can't pay that.
00:44:21Why didn't you tell me this before?
00:44:26Hi, can we please retract our bid?
00:44:31Hi, can we please retract our bid?
00:44:34It's already paid.
00:44:35By who?
00:44:36Justin Lake.
00:44:38That Justin Lake?
00:44:41Yes, miss.
00:44:45It's yours now.
00:44:54Smile. Hold your head up high.
00:44:56Let's make a bang on this.
00:45:10All set?
00:45:11By the way, where did you get 15 million?
00:45:14You didn't sell yourself, did you?
00:45:16Should I be flattered?
00:45:17Justin, just tell me. Seriously.
00:45:20Why don't you let me show you?
00:45:29What is going on?
00:45:31Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?
00:45:33Moments away now. Come on.
00:45:35Okay. You're so dramatic.
00:45:41Okay, take it off.
00:45:47What is this? Where are we?
00:45:49Come with me. I'll give you the tour.
00:45:52Okay.
00:45:56Welcome back, Mr. Lake.
00:46:00Senorita.
00:46:03Mr. Lake, so you live here?
00:46:06Here and a couple other places, depending on the season.
00:46:10But this place is extra special.
00:46:12The garden is gorgeous.
00:46:14Dad and I designed it together.
00:46:16And my man Al here has been with us for 30 years.
00:46:22Wait, I spent 15 million buying your home and then gave it to you.
00:46:27Oh, yeah.
00:46:29Are you the Justin Lake?
00:46:34Are you the Justin Lake?
00:46:36That's right.
00:46:38Why didn't you tell me?
00:46:40I did, but you didn't want to believe me.
00:46:42No, you could have told me formally.
00:46:45Well, allow me to formally introduce myself.
00:46:47God, stop.
00:46:53When the heir to the Lake family reveals his true identity, it tends to stir up drama and chaos.
00:46:59I didn't want that.
00:47:01So I decided to keep my identity a secret.
00:47:04I hope you can forgive me.
00:47:06My head is just spinning a little bit, so...
00:47:09Let me fix that.
00:47:13You know what? I want the house back.
00:47:16I want the money back. I want everything back.
00:47:19Well, I'm your husband, so everything I have is yours.
00:47:22Well, that's more like it.
00:47:25What's that?
00:47:27Let me show you.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:31Did you paint this?
00:47:33Yeah, I painted it back in college.
00:47:35And it was exhibited just once at my graduation ceremony.
00:47:38Wait, why does this painting look so much like the one Stella submitted for the Monet Award?
00:47:46Oh, thank you for taking my phone.
00:47:48Oh, um, it's Stella. I need a minute, please.
00:47:51Okay.
00:47:55Hey, Stella, what's up?
00:47:57Meet me at the cafe on 3rd.
00:47:59Perfect timing. I was just about to call you anyways.
00:48:16What do you want?
00:48:18Why the rush? Have a drink first.
00:48:22What do you want?
00:48:23Why the rush? Have a drink first.
00:48:30Go on.
00:48:34You said you wanted to see me. You first.
00:48:36Yeah, I saw your submission for the Monet Prize.
00:48:39Did you really paint it?
00:48:41Of course I did. What are you suggesting?
00:48:44You're still lying. But I know the truth.
00:48:54Got you, bitch.
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:08Sophie?
00:49:09Sophie!
00:49:12Sophie, baby, wake up.
00:49:14Sophie.
00:49:16Hey, hey, it's me. It's me. It's Ted.
00:49:18Can you hear me?
00:49:20Can you stay with me?
00:49:22Let's get you out of here. Come on.
00:49:24Can you walk?
00:49:27Are you okay?
00:49:29Can you see? Can you open your eyes?
00:49:31What happened?
00:49:33Okay. Hey.
00:49:35Let's go.
00:49:42I'm not sure if I trust you too much, but Miss Swift is in trouble.
00:49:46Check the headline news. It can't be contained.
00:49:48Sophie Swift was caught publicly intoxicated looking like a complete whore.
00:49:53She was seen with an incredibly attractive man.
00:49:55I sure hope her husband is on social media to see this.
00:50:06What are you doing?
00:50:07Are you out of your mind?
00:50:09She's sleeping. Let's talk outside.
00:50:18You leave her alone. That's my wife.
00:50:20If you're even willing to entertain the rumor that she cheated on you,
00:50:24then you don't deserve her at all.
00:50:26Listen, I know you and Sophie were set up.
00:50:29That's why we're still here talking.
00:50:31What's your relationship with my wife?
00:50:33She's my best friend.
00:50:35I've known her a lot longer than you.
00:50:37Your best friend?
00:50:39Have you seen the news? Her reputation is completely damaged because of you.
00:50:42Look, I'll take care of it. All right?
00:50:45How?
00:50:47Because from my point of view, the best thing you can do is stay away from her.
00:51:03You're up.
00:51:04Why are you sleeping here?
00:51:06The doctor suggested you get some rest.
00:51:09I thought it was all a dream.
00:51:12You remember now.
00:51:18Tell me what happened.
00:51:20Where's Ted?
00:51:22He left?
00:51:24You were out cold all night. Did you expect him to stay over?
00:51:28I need to call him.
00:51:30Well, I'll put her on speaker.
00:51:34Hey Ted, it's Sophie.
00:51:36Sophie. How you feeling?
00:51:38I've already dispelled the trending headline about us.
00:51:41Trending headline?
00:51:44Why are you talking to my wife?
00:51:46Stop calling and sounding so husky.
00:51:49Okay. First of all, I am the one that called him.
00:51:52What, are you a little jealous?
00:51:57First of all, I am the one that called him.
00:52:00What, are you a little jealous?
00:52:04No.
00:52:06Tell me what happened.
00:52:09Estella called me last night.
00:52:11And I just so happened to have something to ask her as well.
00:52:14So I decided to meet her.
00:52:16I just didn't think that she would spike my drink.
00:52:19I'm calling the police and I'm getting my PI on it too.
00:52:21Okay, stop, Justin. No.
00:52:23Why? You got hurt, Sophie.
00:52:25I know, but there's one more thing I need to find out from Estella.
00:52:30It's about my mom's death.
00:52:33I never suspected that she died from suicide.
00:52:36And I think her death has something to do with Estella and her mom.
00:52:40Did the police determine your mother's death was suicide?
00:52:43Yeah.
00:52:44And unless more evidence is brought forward,
00:52:46the police, they're not going to reopen the investigation.
00:52:49But don't worry, I can handle this, okay?
00:52:51I will help you.
00:52:52But I need you to take care of yourself and get some rest.
00:52:55Alright?
00:53:05Thank you, everyone, for gathering here today to celebrate our friend,
00:53:09the Monet Award winner 2024, Estella Swift.
00:53:21Thank you. Thank you. This is such an honor.
00:53:25I did want to take a moment to congratulate my sister, Sophie Swift.
00:53:30She also took part in this competition,
00:53:32but if I'm not mistaken, you got third place, right?
00:53:36And I'm the winner.
00:53:37And I'm the winner.
00:53:40Well, come on, Sophie. Today's my big day. Have a drink with me.
00:53:44Stop pretending, Estella.
00:53:49You can't hide what you did to my mom,
00:53:51but I can give you a chance to tell me the truth.
00:53:55Everyone knows your mom killed herself. How could it be related to me?
00:53:59If you really think it was me, show me the evidence, then.
00:54:02How dare you.
00:54:07How dare you.
00:54:13Justin.
00:54:15Everything okay here, Miss Stella?
00:54:17Yes. I was just talking to my sister.
00:54:20I just wanted to apologize for what happened at the coffee shop.
00:54:23I received a business call and had to leave early that day.
00:54:27I had no idea that Sophie would do such a thing and such a scandalous act to make headline news.
00:54:37I trust my wife.
00:54:39And the clarification announcement has already gone out to all major media outlets.
00:54:45I'd like to remind you that if anybody wants to play dirty tricks behind our back,
00:54:51you will get what's coming for you.
00:54:53Now, for the artwork and the painting that you were awarded for.
00:54:58By chance, was the inspiration drawn from the University of Paris' graduation ceremony?
00:55:04Five years ago?
00:55:05Mr. Lake, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:55:12Might I remind you who you're dealing with?
00:55:15The artwork that you were awarded for?
00:55:17It's mine.
00:55:21The artwork that you were awarded for?
00:55:24It's mine.
00:55:26You copied it.
00:55:28Also, I know it was you that set up my wife at the coffee shop.
00:55:31I will not stop until I get justice.
00:55:33Especially if it's her mother.
00:55:35Do you understand?
00:55:44Let's go enjoy the reception, everyone!
00:55:51How about that artwork?
00:55:53Justin, what did you say to Stella?
00:55:56What? Is my wife jealous?
00:55:59Quit messing around.
00:56:00Quit messing around.
00:56:02Okay, I heard that you mentioned the graduation exhibition at the University of Paris five years ago.
00:56:06I thought it was just a good opportunity to remind her about a lesson she might have forgot after graduation.
00:56:12And what's that?
00:56:14Copycats don't have nine lives.
00:56:16Justin.
00:56:18What?
00:56:23Justin.
00:56:25What?
00:56:30I don't know. I just... I see you differently now.
00:56:33What happened?
00:56:37Well, you are more handsome.
00:56:43You know, sexy.
00:56:46And adorable.
00:56:50Adorable?
00:56:53About manly?
00:56:57About more masculine?
00:57:01No.
00:57:03It's all about you, Sophie.
00:57:05I just want to protect you.
00:57:07You shouldn't put yourself in danger from me anymore.
00:57:10I know that's why you met with her that day, right?
00:57:13How did you know that?
00:57:15Because you're my wife.
00:57:17And I'd like to know everything about you.
00:57:21It's my job to protect you.
00:57:23I just want to keep you safe, okay?
00:57:26Okay.
00:57:30Okay.
00:57:36Kendall?
00:57:38Sophie, wake up.
00:57:40Mr. Cooper and your father were conspiring in the office this morning, planning to remove you from your position.
00:57:44You need to come back soon.
00:57:48You need to get back soon.
00:57:50What?
00:57:52It's urgent.
00:57:54You need to come back to the company so we can discuss the next step, Sophie.
00:57:56You know what? Send me everything that you've collected on Mr. Cooper and I'll be right there, okay?
00:58:01Morning.
00:58:03Oh, hi.
00:58:05Coffee. Two cream, one sugar, just like you like it.
00:58:10I love it.
00:58:12That's it?
00:58:18Is there something you want to tell me?
00:58:22Justin, I'm...
00:58:26Sophie, whatever it is, just say it.
00:58:29I'll deal with it.
00:58:31I know, but I have to get changed, so I'm going to talk to you later, okay?
00:58:42Patrick.
00:58:45Keep an eye on Swift Enterprise for me.
00:58:48Let me know if anything happens.
00:58:50Sophie.
00:58:52Two things. Good news or bad news first?
00:58:54Give me the good news first.
00:58:56So, I investigated Mr. Cooper, as you requested, and out of his female subordinates, two were promoted and eight resigned voluntarily.
00:59:06So, I did some digging. I found out, through gossip, that he was engaged in sexual misconduct with female subordinates.
00:59:14Well done. He is such a dickwad tool. Have you found any evidence?
00:59:18That was the bad news I was going to tell you.
00:59:20You know what? Contact those female subordinates and urge them to report to the police and provide them with any legal counsel and cover all the fees.
00:59:27Already did it.
00:59:29Kendall, you are awesome.
00:59:32Okay, let's go.
00:59:34Wait, Sophie. One more thing. That bitch Stella and her mother are here.
00:59:38Things are progressing a little bit faster than we expected.
00:59:40They're waiting in the conference room for us right now.
00:59:43So, just in case, I prepared the documents you may need.
00:59:51It's just funny. They can't wait to kick me out.
00:59:55Okay. Time for a counterattack.
01:00:11For the past two years, Swift Enterprise's financial statements have been a mess.
01:00:17And our market share has rapidly declined. Can someone explain the reason?
01:00:21What's the meaning of this? Are you trying to blame and oust your father and sister from this company?
01:00:27Mr. Cooper, you are the vice president, but I didn't think that you lacked even the most basic professional manners.
01:00:33You always mix business with personal matters.
01:00:36But what I just mentioned is a business matter.
01:00:39You little bitch. Now that you've become the CEO, you dare to be so arrogant towards Mr. Cooper?
01:00:46He's a veteran of the company.
01:00:48I was just as assertive during my first board meeting, so what's the problem now?
01:00:52Pardon me.
01:00:54Who are you to own shares in the company? Because if you don't, you don't belong here.
01:00:59So, leave. Now.
01:01:01You! How dare you!
01:01:04Mom, are you okay?
01:01:06Security.
01:01:09Don't touch me!
01:01:16Don't touch me!
01:01:19I can walk myself.
01:01:24Sophie, how can you treat my mom like this?
01:01:27This is a board meeting.
01:01:28Not a parent-teacher conference. You did properly graduate high school, didn't you?
01:01:34Very well.
01:01:36We'll see how long you last here.
01:01:38Oh, oops. Wait. You must have forgotten.
01:01:42The board decides who's CEO.
01:01:46Have a try, then.
01:01:53I formally propose the removal of Mr. Cooper.
01:01:56I formally propose the removal of Sophie as CEO of Swift Enterprises.
01:02:01Agree.
01:02:19I'm Sheriff Ballard Ryder. I'm looking for Robert Cooper.
01:02:22Sheriff, that's Robert Cooper.
01:02:31Robert Cooper, you're under arrest on several sexual assault charges.
01:02:35Stand up for me, buddy. Come on. Come on. Stand up. There you go.
01:02:38You can use his arms.
01:02:40It's a mistake, man.
01:02:42Mr. Walden, it's a mistake. It's a mistake.
01:02:44It's a mistake.
01:02:49Mr. Landon, Mr. Hayes, what did you say just now?
01:02:55Right. We can go on to the next topic, then.
01:02:59I've also found evidence of embezzlement within the company.
01:03:02And if she can admit to it voluntarily, I will consider it as her surrendering to the authorities.
01:03:11Stella, did you hear me?
01:03:12Well, why are you asking me?
01:03:14I've got nothing to do with this.
01:03:16Don't pin this on me.
01:03:18Kendall, get her out of here.
01:03:20Okay.
01:03:21Enough. Your sister's still young. You're ruining her life. You're being malicious.
01:03:28All of you, out.
01:03:37I still have nothing to say.
01:03:40Drugging. Embezzlement. Either charge could land you in prison.
01:03:45This is about your mom, isn't it? I did not kill her. It was not me.
01:03:50Then who did it?
01:03:52It was your mom, wasn't it?
01:03:54She had something to do with this.
01:03:56I'm gonna count to three, and if you don't speak, I'm gonna take your case to the authorities.
01:04:01Just give me some time.
01:04:04I will get you the evidence.
01:04:07Good.
01:04:09I'll be waiting.
01:04:23I'll find justice for you, Mom.
01:04:25Mom.
01:04:39It's okay. You can cry.
01:04:42My mom, Justin.
01:04:44I know. I know. You had a big day. You moving up?
01:04:50Yeah. It was a good day. I finally did it.
01:04:53And now I can make my mom proud.
01:04:57You did.
01:05:08Yeah, I didn't hear anything. I swear.
01:05:12Totally normal.
01:05:14Also, we should probably eat something, if you want.
01:05:18I know a really good French restaurant, actually, so...
01:05:24Oh, that was fast.
01:05:27Alright, let's go.
01:05:29What are we waiting for?
01:05:34Why is no one else here?
01:05:36Did you book the entire venue?
01:05:39Yeah, I guess I did.
01:05:53I'll be right back.
01:05:55Okay.
01:06:06Um, what?
01:06:14Justin, what is going on here?
01:06:17Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:06:19Thank you. I don't celebrate my birthday, though.
01:06:23I know.
01:06:27It's because your birthday coincides with your mother's death, right?
01:06:30Yes.
01:06:32These flowers are for her.
01:06:36These flowers are for her.
01:06:39It happened 20 years ago, right?
01:06:43I want her to know that you're not alone.
01:06:44I'll always be by her side.
01:06:46I think she'd be happy in heaven knowing that.
01:06:50Thank you. Thank you, Justin.
01:06:55Make a wish.
01:06:56Make a wish.
01:07:26Hey, Sophie. It's Ted.
01:07:29Hey, Ted.
01:07:31Thank you. I am feeling better.
01:07:34Yes, I'm actually not home right now. I'm with Justin.
01:07:38Okay.
01:07:40Yeah, I understand.
01:07:42Okay. Bye.
01:07:47Why so happy?
01:07:50Nothing. Just enjoying the evening.
01:07:57Wow.
01:07:59Happy birthday, Sophie.
01:08:01You made your choice.
01:08:02Happy birthday.
01:08:26Justin, wake up.
01:08:28Hey, wake up.
01:08:30What? What happened?
01:08:32Nothing important.
01:08:34How important?
01:08:36The mornings are usually a really good time for us to share some intimacy.
01:08:39No.
01:08:41Aunt Susan is going to be here.
01:08:45Aunt Susan?
01:08:47Yeah, she's my mom's sister. She's basically the only real family that I have.
01:08:50She sounds lovely. And?
01:08:53Well, she's visiting, but she doesn't know that I'm married.
01:08:57Tell her when she arrives.
01:08:59That's the thing.
01:09:00Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of an enterprise?
01:09:05Why?
01:09:07My Aunt Susan is angry at my father for how he treated my mother,
01:09:10and so she doesn't think that marrying rich will work well.
01:09:13Plus, she has heart issues, and I don't want to stress her out.
01:09:17Gotcha. I'll just be your stay-at-home husband.
01:09:20Alright.
01:09:25You are going to love Aunt Susan. She's amazing.
01:09:28I'm so excited for you to meet her.
01:09:30Oh! Okay, she's here. We can do this. Do you remember what I told you?
01:09:35Smile. Yeah.
01:09:38You got it, boss wife.
01:09:40Okay.
01:09:43Hi! Hi, Susan!
01:09:45I missed you!
01:09:47Baby girl, I missed you so much, too.
01:09:50I just got done touring Europe and came right over after getting off the plane.
01:09:56Wait. Who's this?
01:09:58Hi, Aunt Susan. I'm Justin.
01:10:01But yes, I forgot introductions. This is Justin, my husband.
01:10:08What?
01:10:10Husband?
01:10:12Sophie, you got married? Since when?
01:10:16This is a big deal. Why didn't you tell me?
01:10:19I was busy with the company business, and I wanted to surprise you.
01:10:23This is a big surprise.
01:10:29He has a good eye. He's handsome.
01:10:33And he looks like a nice guy. Very, very nice guy.
01:10:37Come on. Take a seat.
01:10:41So, Justin. May I know what you do for a living?
01:10:46Uh... I...
01:10:55So, Justin.
01:10:57So, Justin. May I know what you do for a living?
01:11:02Uh... I...
01:11:05Um... I'm sorry.
01:11:08I just want to make sure you have enough time to spend with Sophie.
01:11:12She grew up alone for most of her childhood.
01:11:16Usually I'm not that busy.
01:11:18Actually, I'd like to spend more time with Sophie if possible.
01:11:21Good.
01:11:23Auntie, I actually have a business call, so I'm gonna go, but you guys chat.
01:11:31Justin, I'm glad to see that you support Sophie in her career.
01:11:35She's a workaholic, and often forgets to take good care of herself.
01:11:39She's very hardworking, and actually a really brilliant businesswoman.
01:11:43Are you accustomed to doing all of the laundry and cooking?
01:11:47Uh...
01:11:49Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of, like, Enterprise?
01:11:53Uh... Yeah. Yeah.
01:11:56Well, it's almost dinner time. Do you normally make dinner for Sophie?
01:12:01Yeah. Yeah, I'm great at making food.
01:12:05Great! It's my lucky day. I can't wait to try.
01:12:08How about Sophie's favorite, Pasta Alfredo?
01:12:11Great. Yeah. Of course.
01:12:17Oh my god, Justin, what are you cooking in here? It smells so good!
01:12:28He's making Pasta Alfredo for you.
01:12:31Okay, you need to add salt. And you can't forget about that.
01:12:35Okay. Salt.
01:12:38You look a little unfamiliar with the kitchen.
01:12:41I'm very familiar with this kitchen. I'm in charge. I got this. Okay?
01:12:47So, uh, that is, um, that's sugar.
01:12:50Something wrong?
01:12:52No, um, I just, I want to learn from Justin. He never shares any of his recipes with me.
01:12:56Justin, you shouldn't spoil Sophie so much.
01:13:00As capable as she is, she needs to learn some basic life skills.
01:13:04Got it.
01:13:06Auntie Susan, why don't you share some of your travel stories with me?
01:13:09Oh, I have plenty.
01:13:12Where should I start?
01:13:13On the windows.
01:13:30Wait. What's this?
01:13:34Justin Lake, CEO of Lake Enterprises.
01:13:38Wow.
01:13:40Wait a minute.
01:13:43Um, I'm sorry. I'm the one that got this idea.
01:13:47No, no. I'm responsible. It's all my fault. Really.
01:14:06Sophie, I watched you grow up without your mom.
01:14:09And after she passed, you rarely smiled.
01:14:14But today, you're different.
01:14:17You seem so much happier than before.
01:14:20And I believe a big part of it is because of this man.
01:14:24Before, I didn't want you to marry a wealthy man because the way your father drove your mother out of the house was a tragedy.
01:14:32I know, Auntie, but Justin is nothing like my dad.
01:14:35Well, I can see that in the smile on your face.
01:14:37And the way he treats you. He genuinely likes you.
01:14:42I can see that he's going to bring you happiness.
01:14:45Thank you, Auntie.
01:14:47And Justin, Sophia can be a bit stubborn at times, but she's a big softy inside.
01:14:54You treat her well.
01:14:56Auntie, I will love Sophia with all my heart.
01:14:59Mom, that bitch Sophie is trying to reopen the case on her mother's death.
01:15:05That's been five years already. She'll never find out.
01:15:09But Justin Lake, the CEO of Lake Enterprises, the most powerful and richest man in town, is freaking helping her with the investigation.
01:15:18Hmm.
01:15:20We should strike first, then.
01:15:23Yes, we should.
01:15:25We should strike first, then.
01:15:27Yes, we should.
01:15:38She's here.
01:15:41Turn off the cameras and follow the plan.
01:15:54Stop!
01:16:03Yeah?
01:16:04Boss, Miss Sophie's been abducted.
01:16:08Call my security detail and call the police.
01:16:12We need to rescue her.
01:16:13Tell me the address now.
01:16:21Yes!
01:16:25Sophie Swift.
01:16:28You have nowhere to run.
01:16:31No one will protect you now.
01:16:40Sign it.
01:16:42You won't get away with this.
01:16:45No one's gonna know once you're dead.
01:16:48Okay, I will sign it, but you have to answer me one question.
01:16:51Spit it out.
01:16:53Why did you kill my mom?
01:16:55Your mother's heart condition relapsed one day.
01:16:58I accidentally switched the medication.
01:17:03Who knew she was going to die?
01:17:06Oh, but you don't have to worry about missing her too much, because I'm gonna send you to her very soon.
01:17:13Justin, no!
01:17:15Justin, no!
01:17:16No!
01:17:21Justin, no!
01:17:25What's happening?
01:17:27I didn't do anything!
01:17:30Justin, are you okay?
01:17:32Stop!
01:17:34Don't leave me alone!
01:17:38Justin, you're bleeding.
01:17:41Oh my God.
01:17:44Justin?
01:17:45Justin?
01:17:46Patrick, please help me take him to the hospital, please.
01:17:48Justin?
01:17:50Please stay awake, Justin.
01:17:51Please.
01:17:52Oh my God.
01:17:59Doctor said he'll be okay.
01:18:01You should go home and get some rest too.
01:18:03Yeah.
01:18:04Karen and Stella have been arrested.
01:18:06It's all over.
01:18:07We can relax now.
01:18:09No, I need to be here for him.
01:18:10I'm not going anywhere.
01:18:12You shouldn't be anywhere near him.
01:18:16I'm sorry, who are you?
01:18:20I'm Justin Lake's mother.
01:18:22Oh, Mrs. Lake, hi, I'm Sophie Swift, it's nice to meet you.
01:18:27I'm sorry about Justin.
01:18:33I normally don't interfere in my son's personal affairs.
01:18:37Not until I met you.
01:18:39You're nothing but trouble.
01:18:41What have I done to Justin?
01:18:42There must be some misunderstanding.
01:18:43Shh.
01:18:45Do not disturb my son's rest.
01:18:48Let's talk somewhere more private.
01:18:55Now.
01:19:00Here.
01:19:03Ten million dollars.
01:19:05Leave my son.
01:19:07I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake, but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:19:10You may not be a gold digger,
01:19:12but trouble certainly follows you wherever you go.
01:19:15I will never accept you into the Lake family.
01:19:18Mrs. Lake, I don't need your money.
01:19:20Please, I love Justin.
01:19:22Love?
01:19:25Oh, you stupid, stupid girl.
01:19:29Fine.
01:19:31I'm sorry.
01:19:32Stupid girl.
01:19:34Fine.
01:19:36You don't want money?
01:19:39I have another offer.
01:19:41One you cannot refuse.
01:19:44I know your Aunt Susan has heart issues.
01:19:47Only the top specialist in Paris can cure her,
01:19:50but he isn't taking any new patients.
01:19:52He happens to be my dear friend.
01:19:54I can help you, if you leave my son.
01:19:57I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake,
01:19:59but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:20:01You may not be some sort of gold digger.
01:20:03I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake,
01:20:05but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:20:07I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake,
01:20:09but I'm not some sort of gold digger.
01:20:10He's my dear friend.
01:20:12I can help you, if you leave my son.
01:20:14So who do you love more, Sophie?
01:20:16Susan or Justin?
01:20:21Kendall, what's wrong?
01:20:23Aunt Susan fainted.
01:20:25I just found out when I arrived at your house.
01:20:27What?
01:20:29I'll be right there.
01:20:30Don't move on season. Okay. Okay. Perfect. No, keep smiling. Okay.
01:20:52Miss Swift, Justin still doesn't want to sign the divorce papers. It's been three years
01:20:56and he still keeps asking where you are. Are you sure you want to avoid him for the rest
01:21:00of your life? Relax. He's not going to find us. His mom already set me up somewhere else.
01:21:05He's not going to track me. Besides, there's no chance between us. It's just a pipe dream.
01:21:10Fine. Take care of yourself and Auntie Susan. I miss you. I miss you too. Bye.
01:21:26Is this yours? Is this yours? Are you ignoring me or planning your escape again? Wife. How
01:21:45did you... What about your mom? Well, it's taken three years, but I finally convinced
01:21:57her. I told her that if I couldn't be with you, I wouldn't be with anybody else. I won't
01:22:01let anything come between us again. You remember? This is where we first met years ago. Years
01:22:07ago. I believe you offered an American man some money. He was just robbed and verbally
01:22:16assaulted by a French man. It's you. It's me, your dearest husband. That's my girl.
