00:00:00All right, I know you're drunk. I'm already at your hotel room door.
00:00:08Does your girlfriend know you're here with me?
00:00:10Don't say her name right now.
00:00:17That voice, I've heard it in my dreams for ten years.
00:00:21My boyfriend dumped me yesterday, my client got me wasted tonight,
00:00:24and now the people next door are having the best night of their lives.
00:00:27I hate the universe.
00:00:29Relax, she'll never know. Girls like Stella always believe what they want to believe.
00:00:34Chloe, I said stop talking about her.
00:00:39Stella, why do you look like you just saw a ghost?
00:00:44Because I think I just heard one.
00:00:50What are you talking about?
00:00:51That's Adrian.
00:00:52Adrian Blackwood? You're Adrian? The man who's supposed to marry you?
00:00:59I'm f***ing that door down. No! No, Stella! He's cheating on you!
00:01:04If I open that door, I'll have to see it.
00:01:10Maybe you need to. No. Not tonight.
00:01:18You just lied to her, didn't you?
00:01:20She trusts me.
00:01:22He didn't just cheat.
00:01:24He lied while I was standing on the other side of the wall.
00:01:44He once said that, that seat was mine.
00:01:55Please tell me you're not doing something emotionally stupid.
00:01:59I'm watching him choose her in real time.
00:02:02Where are you?
00:02:03Outside Blackwood.
00:02:05Do you want me to come with a baseball bat or a lawyer?
00:02:08Neither.
00:02:09I just needed to know I wasn't crazy.
00:02:12Some men don't make promises.
00:02:14They just make you feel chosen.
00:02:18So does he.
00:02:19That little snake knows exactly what she's doing.
00:02:23Then stop protecting him!
00:02:26I'm not protecting him anymore.
00:02:30You're late.
00:02:33So are you.
00:02:35Does that mean?
00:02:39Tell me, Adrian.
00:02:41How long has my seat belonged to her?
00:02:48You're stalking my assistant now?
00:02:51That's your defense?
00:02:53Chloe posts everything.
00:02:55It doesn't mean anything.
00:03:00Then explain the hotel.
00:03:03Room 603.
00:03:05Last night.
00:03:06I called you.
00:03:07Stella.
00:03:08Your phone rang through the wall.
00:03:11I heard you.
00:03:12It wasn't what you think.
00:03:13Don't insult me!
00:03:14I was drunk.
00:03:14She took me there.
00:03:15I didn't plan it.
00:03:16You didn't plan to sleep with her, but you planned every lie after.
00:03:18It happened once.
00:03:21Once doesn't get her into your car.
00:03:23Once doesn't put my scarf on her body.
00:03:26Once doesn't make her wear the watch I bought you.
00:03:29You didn't make one mistake.
00:03:31You made a thousand choices.
00:03:33I love you.
00:03:37No.
00:03:38You love being loved by me.
00:03:44What are you doing?
00:03:45What I should have done the moment I heard phone ring.
00:03:48You can't leave me over one night.
00:03:51I'm not leaving because of one night.
00:03:54I'm leaving because you came home and lied to my face.
00:03:57You owe me a chance.
00:03:59No, Adrian.
00:04:00You owe me ten years.
00:04:13You're not thinking clearly.
00:04:16I've never been clearer.
00:04:19You don't get to throw away ten years because of one mistake.
00:04:25It wasn't one mistake.
00:04:26It was a pattern.
00:04:30I said I'm sorry.
00:04:33You said it because you got caught.
00:04:37I was drunk.
00:04:39Were you drunk when you let her sit in my seat?
00:04:43Were you drunk when she wore my scarf?
00:04:49She's my assistant.
00:04:51I can't control everything she posts.
00:04:54No.
00:04:56You just enjoyed it.
00:05:00Where are you going?
00:05:01Anywhere you aren't.
00:05:02You're being dramatic.
00:05:06You cheated.
00:05:07You lied.
00:05:09You let another woman parade around in pieces of my life.
00:05:13And somehow, I'm the dramatic one.
00:05:20I love you, Stella.
00:05:22No.
00:05:23You love having me waiting at home while you play savior to someone else.
00:05:28If you walk out, don't expect me to chase you.
00:05:30I'm not asking you to chase me.
00:05:32I'm telling you I'm gone.
00:05:42Chloe, what happened?
00:05:56Mrs. Hayes?
00:05:59Mr. Blackwood is in a meeting.
00:06:01I'm not here for him.
00:06:04Oh.
00:06:05You must be Stella.
00:06:08Moving out already?
00:06:10That was fast.
00:06:11Stealing someone's boyfriend usually moves things along.
00:06:15I didn't steal anyone.
00:06:18Adrian makes his own choices.
00:06:21That might be the first honest thing you've said.
00:06:24I know this is hard for you.
00:06:25Adrian told me your history with his family is complicated.
00:06:29I mean they took you in when you had nowhere to go.
00:06:32It must be scary losing that safety fet.
00:06:35Relax.
00:06:36I don't waste good coffee on trash.
00:06:39Why are you humiliating me?
00:06:40I was just trying to be kind.
00:06:50Adrian, please don't be mad at her.
00:06:52She's just hurt.
00:06:56What did you do?
00:06:59Interesting.
00:07:00You didn't even ask what happened.
00:07:10Apologize to Chloe.
00:07:12You brought another woman into our bed and now you want me to apologize to her?
00:07:17Lower your voice.
00:07:18Why?
00:07:20Afraid your employees might find out their CEO lies better than he leads?
00:07:24I never wanted to hurt you.
00:07:27Then why were you wearing my scarf in his car?
00:07:31I didn't know it was hers.
00:07:35It was just a scarf, Stella.
00:07:37To you, maybe.
00:07:40But to me...
00:07:42To me, it was one more piece of my life you handed to her.
00:07:45Enough!
00:07:45You're embarrassing yourself!
00:07:48No, Adrian.
00:07:49I'm embarrassing you.
00:07:53Say you're sorry.
00:07:54Now!
00:07:56Touchy morning at Blackwood, huh?
00:08:04You okay?
00:08:08Who gave you permission to bully my employee?
00:08:10This is between me and Stella.
00:08:13Not when you humiliate her in public.
00:08:15Mr. Pierce, you don't understand.
00:08:17She attacked me first.
00:08:18Sweetheart, I bill by the hour.
00:08:20Don't waste it lying.
00:08:30What is this?
00:08:31A formal notice.
00:08:32Mrs. Hayes is here to retrieve personal property.
00:08:35Any interference will be documented.
00:08:37This is unnecessary.
00:08:40Cheaters always think paperwork is unnecessary.
00:08:43Watch your mouth.
00:08:44Make me.
00:08:46Logan, let's go.
00:08:48After you.
00:08:51I'd advise against touching her.
00:08:54Let her go.
00:08:55She's just trying to make you jealous.
00:08:57vi, parts of the police.
00:09:04Different car.
00:09:05Different man.
00:09:07You always this arrogant?
00:09:08Only when I'm right.
00:09:11You carry emergency coffee now?
00:09:13I carry solutions. Coffee is one of them.
00:09:17Cry if you need to. I'll pretend traffic is fascinating.
00:09:22I'm not crying over him.
00:09:24Good.
00:09:25He doesn't look worth the mascara.
00:09:39Stella!
00:09:53Did you enjoy humiliating me today?
00:09:55That's what you think happened.
00:09:57You brought Logan Pierce to my company.
00:09:59No. He came because you cornered me in front of your employees.
00:10:04He wants you.
00:10:06And suddenly you care what another man wants?
00:10:10You're using him to punish me.
00:10:12You punished yourself.
00:10:15I made a mistake.
00:10:17But you're acting like I'm some monster.
00:10:19You let her mock me.
00:10:21Chloe is emotional. She didn't mean it.
00:10:25She wore my scarf.
00:10:27She sat in my seat.
00:10:28She called you Adrian in front of me.
00:10:30She meant every second of it.
00:10:32You're making her bigger than she is.
00:10:35No, Adrian.
00:10:36You made her important.
00:10:39If you leave tonight, I won't keep covering for you.
00:10:43Covering for me?
00:10:44People at Black Hood still think of you as family because I allowed it.
00:10:48Without me, you're just the girl my parents took pity on.
00:10:58For what?
00:11:01For finally sounding like the man you really are.
00:11:13What is it?
00:11:17Tell me she didn't take this from your safe.
00:11:32That necklace was my mother's.
00:11:35Stella, calm down.
00:11:37Don't you dare tell me to calm down.
00:11:39I trusted you with the only thing my mother left me.
00:11:43And you let your mistress wear it.
00:11:45Don't call her that.
00:11:47That's what bothers you?
00:11:48Not that she stole my mother's necklace.
00:11:50Not that she sent me that photo.
00:11:52But that I called her what she is.
00:11:54I don't know how she got it.
00:11:56I'll handle it.
00:11:57Where are you going?
00:11:59To get back what's mine.
00:12:01It's late.
00:12:03Don't make a scene at my office.
00:12:06Your office?
00:12:08My mother's necklace is around her neck.
00:12:13There will be a scene.
00:12:21Stella, you really shouldn't be here.
00:12:24Take it off.
00:12:25Oh, this?
00:12:26Adrian gave it to me.
00:12:28That belonged to my mother.
00:12:30I didn't know.
00:12:31Adrian said it was just sitting in his safe.
00:12:36Did you give it to her?
00:12:38Adrian, I swear I didn't know.
00:12:40You said I could borrow something pretty for the gala.
00:12:43It was temporary.
00:12:45You opened the safe.
00:12:46Stella, it's a necklace.
00:12:48No.
00:12:49It was proof I trusted you.
00:12:52Take it off.
00:12:55Adrian, she's scaring me!
00:13:10Move.
00:13:11Not until you stop acting like this.
00:13:14She's wearing my dead mother's necklace, and I'm the problem.
00:13:17I'll give it back.
00:13:18I just don't want her to touch me.
00:13:21Then take it off yourself.
00:13:22Ow!
00:13:23Ow!
00:13:24Adrian, it's stuck!
00:13:29Give it to me.
00:13:31I need you to promise this ends here.
00:13:33Excuse me?
00:13:34No posts.
00:13:35No lawyers.
00:13:36No public drama.
00:13:37Chloe made a mistake.
00:13:38She stole from me.
00:13:39And you got it back.
00:13:40You're protecting her.
00:13:42I'm protecting all of us.
00:13:43No.
00:13:44You're protecting your image.
00:13:46Do you know what a thief accusation against my assistant would do to my company?
00:13:50So my mother's necklace is less important than your stock price.
00:13:55Thank you for clarifying.
00:14:03Don't make me your enemy, Stella.
00:14:08You already did.
00:14:10I really didn't mean to hurt you.
00:14:12Yes, you did.
00:14:13And next time you touch anything that belongs to me, I won't ask nicely.
00:14:18That's in the off, Stella!
00:14:24Take it off!
00:14:27Adrian, she's scaring me!
00:14:34Mrs. Hayes, your access has been suspended.
00:14:39By whom?
00:14:41Mr. Blackwood's office.
00:14:43Ma'am, if you don't have clearance, you'll need to leave.
00:14:48Stella.
00:14:49You froze my access.
00:14:51Temporarily.
00:14:52After last night, I think it's best.
00:14:53Best for who?
00:14:54For everyone.
00:14:54You need space.
00:14:55No.
00:14:56You needed to keep me away from Chloe.
00:14:58Stella, please don't make this harder.
00:15:00Adrian is just trying to prevent another incident.
00:15:02Another incident?
00:15:03Last night, you threatened me.
00:15:06You recorded me.
00:15:08Stella, go home.
00:15:10Home.
00:15:11You made sure I don't have one here.
00:15:13Ma'am, please.
00:15:14Touch her and your retirement plan becomes a lawsuit.
00:15:18Is that Logan?
00:15:21Miss me already, Blackwood?
00:15:22Stay out of this!
00:15:23Too late.
00:15:24You just turned this into a legal matter.
00:15:29You really think your new boss and his fancy lawyer can protect you from me?
00:15:40I think the truth will.
00:15:42And I'll make sure no one believes yours.
00:15:53For the lawyer, the car, or stopping you from committing a very elegant murder in the lobby.
00:15:58I wasn't going to murder her.
00:16:00Good.
00:16:00Orange isn't your color.
00:16:02He knew what this meant to me.
00:16:04Then he knew exactly where to cut.
00:16:08You don't have to keep showing up for me.
00:16:10I don't do things I don't want to do.
00:16:12Lock your door.
00:16:13Call me if anything feels wrong.
00:16:15Bossy.
00:16:16Alive employees are my favorite kind.
00:16:28Ma'am, should we keep surveillance down here?
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:31Stay focused.
00:16:34I need a favor.
00:16:36Find out everything about Stella Hayes.
00:16:38Starting with where she's staying.
00:16:39How dirty do you want this to get?
00:16:42Dirty enough that no one believes a word she says.
00:16:50How did you find my address?
00:16:54I just wanted to talk.
00:16:56Then turn off your camera.
00:16:57I'm not recording you.
00:16:59You lie worse than Adrian.
00:17:01Why do you hate me so much?
00:17:03I don't hate you.
00:17:04I'm disgusted by you.
00:17:05I love him.
00:17:06You love his name.
00:17:07His money.
00:17:08His family.
00:17:09His last name.
00:17:11And yet he picked me.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13He lowered himself to you.
00:17:15Please stop!
00:17:16I'm not trying to take anything from you!
00:17:17Chloe.
00:17:18I know you grew up with him.
00:17:20I know his family took you in.
00:17:22But you can't use that to control him forever.
00:17:24You don't get to talk about my past.
00:17:26Then stop using it to ruin my future.
00:17:29Don't touch me!
00:17:30Ah!
00:17:30Ah!
00:17:32Ah!
00:17:35Ah!
00:17:46My boss's ex won't stop befriending me.
00:17:49I'm scared.
00:17:50Or some poor tooth look signs.
00:17:51She sounds insane.
00:17:53Isn't jealous fags ass?
00:17:54Wait.
00:17:54The classic evil act would just aid me ever since that might be-
00:18:06Stella Hayes!
00:18:07Did you harass Chloe last night?
00:18:08Are you using your history with the blackheads to pressure Adrian?
00:18:10Is it true you threatened his new girlfriend?
00:18:18Move.
00:18:19Did you threaten Chloe because Adrian chose her?
00:18:21Do you deny being obsessed with him?
00:18:27Oops, karma spills
00:18:31Stella, any comments?
00:18:32Yeah, I have one
00:18:38Logan
00:18:38Don't look at them, look at me
00:18:40Every camera here just recorded harassment
00:18:43Say one more word about her past, her family, or her body
00:18:47And you'll hear from my lawyers before lunch
00:18:50Are you two involved?
00:18:51She's under my protection
00:19:02Did you call the reporter?
00:19:05She attacked me, I was scared
00:19:07Why are you questioning me?
00:19:28Keep it on
00:19:31I'm fine
00:19:32You're shaking
00:19:39I'm not him
00:19:41If you say stop, I stop
00:19:50Eyes up, Stella
00:19:59You always rescue women in elevators
00:20:02Only the stubborn ones who refuse to admit they need rescuing
00:20:05I didn't ask you to protect me
00:20:07I know
00:20:10That's why I'm asking now
00:20:14Do you want me to step back?
00:20:23Get your hands off her
00:20:25Do you want me to?
00:20:27No
00:20:36You're making a mistake
00:20:38I learned from the best
00:20:41I came to fix this
00:20:43Funny
00:20:44Every time you say that, she ends up bleeding
00:20:46This is none of your business
00:20:48It became his business when you sent reporters to my office
00:20:51I didn't send them
00:20:58Chloe was scared
00:21:00She posted out of fear
00:21:02She cut out everything she said to me
00:21:05Maybe she panicked
00:21:06She edited, captioned, tagged three gossip accounts, and pinned the worst comments
00:21:11That's not panic
00:21:12That's strategy
00:21:14You know she did this on purpose
00:21:16What I know is this scandal is hurting everyone
00:21:19Everyone?
00:21:23Blackwood's board is asking questions
00:21:25Investors are nervous
00:21:26Chloe is getting death threats
00:21:28And me
00:21:31I got coffee thrown on me this morning
00:21:33My childhood is trading like bossup
00:21:37People are calling me a parasite because your mistress lied
00:21:42Then make a statement
00:21:43Say you misunderstood, Chloe
00:21:45Say you overreacted
00:21:48You want me to apologize?
00:21:49I want you to help stop this before it destroys more lives
00:21:54You don't get to sacrifice her twice
00:21:58Stay out of it, Logan
00:22:00Make me
00:22:02You came here to ask me to lie for the woman you cheated with
00:22:13Say it again
00:22:14Say it again
00:22:20You're recording me now
00:22:23I'm learning to protect myself
00:22:25From me?
00:22:26Especially from you
00:22:29Bad idea
00:22:39Stella
00:22:44I hate that he can still hurt me
00:22:47That doesn't make you weak
00:22:49He gave her my things
00:22:51My seat
00:22:52My scarf
00:22:53My mother's necklace
00:22:55And now he wants my apology too
00:22:57He doesn't get to take anything else
00:23:01You say that like you can stop him
00:23:03I can
00:23:06But I'd rather help you destroy him yourself
00:23:08Why?
00:23:09Because you're not a sad story, Stella
00:23:12You're a warning
00:23:21I can't use you to forget him
00:23:23Then don't
00:23:26When you kiss me again
00:23:27I want you to mean it
00:23:45Don't
00:23:46I didn't say anything
00:23:49You were thinking loudly
00:23:52I was thinking you're terrible with keys when you're nervous
00:23:56I'm not nervous
00:23:59Good
00:24:00Then you won't mind me standing this close
00:24:10How about the kiss?
00:24:13The one you started
00:24:14It was a mistake
00:24:16No
00:24:17It wasn't
00:24:19A mistake is something you don't want to do again
00:24:21You looked like you wanted to
00:24:27Relax
00:24:27I'm not collecting kisses from women who are bleeding
00:24:31I'm not bleeding
00:24:32You are
00:24:33Just not where people can see
00:24:36I don't know who I am without him yet
00:24:41Then find out
00:24:44I'll be nearby
00:24:45Not in front of you
00:24:47Not behind you
00:24:49Nearby
00:25:10Is that blood?
00:25:12Don't touch anything
00:25:15Daniel
00:25:15Get security footage
00:25:17Now
00:25:23I've got you
00:25:34We'll test the liquid
00:25:35Could be animal blood
00:25:37Fake blood
00:25:38Anything
00:25:40And the threat
00:25:42We'll file a report
00:25:44She doesn't need a report
00:25:45She needs protection
00:25:57You don't have to stay
00:25:59I know
00:25:59I'm staying anyway
00:26:00Argue with me tomorrow
00:26:02Tonight save your energy
00:26:11Are you always this bossy?
00:26:14Only when someone sends blood to my employee
00:26:16Employee
00:26:16For now
00:26:39That's not Chloe
00:26:44Chloe used a middleman
00:26:50There's more
00:26:51Vanessa posted a teaser
00:26:52Ten minutes ago
00:26:53Tomorrow
00:26:54I'm exposing the truth
00:26:55About the obsessed ex
00:26:56Who terrorized an innocent girl
00:26:58And trust me
00:26:59Her past is worse than you think
00:27:02Stella look at me
00:27:05They're gonna turn my childhood
00:27:06Into content
00:27:07Then we turn their lies
00:27:09Into evidence
00:27:24That's our proposal
00:27:25No
00:27:26That's our proposal
00:27:27With a cheaper price tag
00:27:30That's impossible
00:27:34No one leaves this room
00:27:35Until we know
00:27:36Where the leak came from
00:27:40Only five people
00:27:41Accessed the final deck
00:27:42After midnight
00:27:43I was home by midnight
00:27:45Your logon downloaded
00:27:46The full file
00:27:47She didn't leak it
00:27:48Logan
00:27:49The system logs
00:27:50Systems can be used
00:27:52People can be framed
00:27:56Wait
00:28:01Adrian
00:28:02How did Adrian get our proposal
00:28:04Blackwood was an early investor
00:28:05Before pulling out
00:28:06Someone reactivated it
00:28:08Last night
00:28:09I traced the download path
00:28:11The file was opened
00:28:12On a device
00:28:13Registered to Chloe Tart
00:28:14But here's the ugly part
00:28:16Her device got access
00:28:17Through Adrian Black's
00:28:18Executive report
00:28:20He gave her the key
00:28:24This wasn't a leak
00:28:26This was sabotage
00:28:38Stella
00:28:41Did you authorize Chloe
00:28:43To access Pierce Creative's proposal
00:28:46Where did you get this
00:28:47That's your first question
00:28:51This is company property
00:28:53You shouldn't have it
00:28:54And Chloe should
00:28:57Don't touch me
00:28:59Chloe was helping me
00:29:01Organize old project files
00:29:02That's all
00:29:05Old project files
00:29:06Don't end up
00:29:07In a competitor's pitch
00:29:09You don't know
00:29:10That she leaked it
00:29:12Her device
00:29:13Opened the file
00:29:16Someone could have
00:29:16Used her device
00:29:18You'll defend her
00:29:19Before you even ask
00:29:20What happened to me
00:29:22Because every time
00:29:23Something happens
00:29:24You make it about Chloe
00:29:26Every time
00:29:28She wore my mother's necklace
00:29:30She filmed me
00:29:31Sent reporters
00:29:33After me
00:29:34Let it him
00:29:36And now she used
00:29:38Your access
00:29:39To steal my work
00:29:40You don't have proof
00:29:41She sent reporters
00:29:42No
00:29:43But I have proof
00:29:45You keep giving her weapons
00:29:47Access
00:29:48Protection
00:29:50Excuses
00:29:51My things
00:29:52My name
00:29:53My silence
00:29:55What else are you
00:29:56Going to hand her
00:29:57Adrian
00:30:04Adrian
00:30:05Is she accusing me again
00:30:08Your device
00:30:09Opened my proposal
00:30:11I opened what you
00:30:12Told me to open
00:30:13You said they were
00:30:14Old files
00:30:15See
00:30:17She didn't even know
00:30:18What it was
00:30:21That's your defense
00:30:22Why do you hate me
00:30:24So much
00:30:24Stella
00:30:26Because Adrian
00:30:26Trusts me now
00:30:29He gave you access
00:30:30To my work
00:30:33Maybe he trusted me
00:30:35Because I don't turn
00:30:35Every problem
00:30:36Into a public breakdown
00:30:40You're waving company records
00:30:42Around like you still
00:30:43Belong here
00:30:45I'm here because
00:30:47You stole from me
00:30:48No
00:30:48Stella
00:30:49You lost something
00:30:51There's a difference
00:30:53You keep giving her weapons
00:30:56I gave her work
00:30:57Access
00:30:58You're twisting it
00:30:59Because you're angry
00:31:02After everything
00:31:03His family did for you
00:31:06You're trying to ruin
00:31:07His company
00:31:10Maybe you just
00:31:11Can't stand that
00:31:11Blackwood doesn't
00:31:12Need you anymore
00:31:15You're letting her
00:31:16Say that
00:31:18She's under a lot
00:31:18Of pressure
00:31:19Because of you
00:31:21Because of me
00:31:25I'm scared
00:31:25Of what she'll do next
00:31:28You need to stop
00:31:32I'm done stopping
00:31:35Stella
00:31:36I'm done accusing
00:31:37Next time
00:31:39Next time
00:31:40I'll sue
00:31:44Don't threaten her
00:31:48You're still doing it
00:31:50If you drag Chloe
00:31:51Into a lawsuit
00:31:52I'll have to respond
00:31:53Then respond
00:31:59Some women lose a man
00:32:00And try to destroy
00:32:01His entire life
00:32:12That's her
00:32:12The ex from the viral video
00:32:14I heard the Blackwoods
00:32:15Took her in as a teenager
00:32:19Messy
00:32:20Very messy
00:32:22You came
00:32:23You asked me to
00:32:25You
00:32:26You don't have to face
00:32:27This alone
00:32:32He brought her here
00:32:37Mrs. Blackwood
00:32:38Thank you for having me
00:32:41I didn't
00:32:44Mom
00:32:44Don't mum me
00:32:46Not tonight
00:32:48Chloe
00:32:50I'm sorry
00:32:51I've just been dizzy lately
00:32:55I didn't want to announce it like this
00:32:59Announce what?
00:33:03I might be pregnant
00:33:08Is it yours?
00:33:09I'm sorry Stella
00:33:11I know this hurts you
00:33:20Answer me
00:33:21Answer me
00:33:22Is the child yours?
00:33:26We're still figuring things out
00:33:29Of course you are
00:33:31Stella
00:33:32Don't do this here
00:33:34I'm not the one
00:33:35Who brought a pregnancy announcement
00:33:36To your mother's charity gala
00:33:39I didn't mean to steal the spotlight
00:33:42I just felt sick
00:33:44You always know exactly where the spotlight is
00:33:47Adrian, I can't do this
00:33:51Adrian, step away from her
00:33:57You brought scandal into my home
00:34:00Into my event
00:34:01And now you stand there protecting it
00:34:04Mom
00:34:05Chloe might be carrying my child
00:34:11So he cheated
00:34:12And got the assistant pregnant
00:34:15What about Stella?
00:34:16Old story
00:34:17Men like him always move on
00:34:25Stella
00:34:26I never wanted to hurt you
00:34:28But this baby is innocent
00:34:31If there is a baby
00:34:34Don't
00:34:35You don't even know if she's pregnant
00:34:37But you're already defending her
00:34:38Like I attacked a child
00:34:39Because I know you hate her
00:34:42I don't hate her enough
00:34:44To invent a pregnancy
00:34:47Good
00:34:49Because I hate liars enough
00:34:50To ask for proof
00:34:55You okay?
00:34:56Define okay
00:34:58Still sarcastic
00:34:59Good sign
00:35:04Why are you here?
00:35:05Your mother invited half of Manhattan
00:35:06I'm the half with lawyers
00:35:07This is family matters
00:35:09Stay out of it
00:35:11Family matters?
00:35:12Who exactly is your family?
00:35:14Stella?
00:35:15Chloe?
00:35:16Or that so-called child?
00:35:18If you're pregnant, congratulations
00:35:20We'll need the clinic name, doctor
00:35:22And report date
00:35:33Stella?
00:35:34Are you okay in there?
00:35:38I saw your dress earlier
00:35:39The zipper looked fragile
00:35:42You mean after you touched it?
00:35:43I was just trying to help
00:35:46You're terrible at pretending you're innocent
00:35:54Adrian didn't believe you about the necklace
00:35:55He won't believe about this either
00:35:58Careful
00:35:59One wrong move
00:36:01And everyone out there gets another show
00:36:04Stella?
00:36:06Mr. Pierce
00:36:07This is the ladies' room
00:36:10And yet somehow
00:36:11The most poisonous thing in it
00:36:12Isn't the perfume
00:36:14Logan, I need a minute
00:36:16Chloe
00:36:17Out
00:36:20Now
00:36:29Do you want me to get Mia
00:36:30Or Evelyn?
00:36:33No
00:36:33Just
00:36:35Help me with the zipper
00:36:42Tell me if I'm too close
00:36:45You're always too close
00:36:48And yet you haven't asked me to leave
00:37:00You're going to lose your cuff ring
00:37:04Keep it
00:37:05I like leaving expensive things
00:37:07On beautiful women
00:37:08Stella!
00:37:18My baby!
00:37:25What did he do?
00:37:27What did he do?
00:37:35She pushed a pregnant woman?
00:37:36That's criminal
00:37:38I knew that ex was unstable
00:37:40I was in the restroom with Logan
00:37:42I came out when I heard her scream
00:37:44You expect me to believe that?
00:37:46You believed every lie she told you
00:37:49But when I tell the truth
00:37:50Suddenly you need proof
00:37:53Please
00:37:53Don't fight
00:37:55Just save the baby
00:38:01What happened?
00:38:03Ask her
00:38:05You're accusing me in front of everyone?
00:38:08If anything happens to my child
00:38:10I won't forgive you
00:38:14You don't even know if there is a child
00:38:17Enough
00:38:18Keep her here until the police arrive
00:38:22Touch her
00:38:23And I break your wrist
00:38:25Legally
00:38:25She hurt my child
00:38:29What child?
00:38:35Daniel
00:38:36Get the hallway footage
00:38:40Adrian, please
00:38:42Take me to the hospital
00:38:46Funny
00:38:47Liars always hate cameras
00:38:54Don't blame Stella
00:39:01Tell me the truth
00:39:02I already did
00:39:04Did you follow her?
00:39:05No
00:39:05Did you threaten her?
00:39:07No
00:39:07Did you want her gone?
00:39:10I wanted my life back
00:39:13So you admit you hated her?
00:39:17You came here for a confession
00:39:19Not the truth
00:39:19Back off, Blackwood
00:39:23This is between me and the woman
00:39:24Who may have killed my child
00:39:25Say that again
00:39:26If she push Chloe
00:39:27I'll make sure she pays
00:39:31You really think I could do that?
00:39:34After ten years
00:39:36That's what you think of me
00:39:37Adrian, please
00:39:39Adrian
00:39:42If you leave with her now
00:39:43Don't ever come back
00:39:44Asking me to remember
00:39:45Who you used to be
00:39:53I'm sorry
00:39:55Don't be
00:39:58I don't need him
00:39:59To believe me anymore
00:40:01Good
00:40:02The hallway camera
00:40:03Was disabled ten minutes
00:40:04Before Chloe fell
00:40:07Who disabled it?
00:40:14Adrian's account
00:40:21He helped erase the only camera that could clear me
00:40:24We don't know if Adrian personally did it
00:40:26His account was used
00:40:27But he gave her access before
00:40:31He handed her the knife
00:40:33Again
00:40:42What did you do to the security system?
00:40:44Excuse me?
00:40:45Stella's people are trying to fake footage
00:40:47I'm scared
00:40:48Are you trying to frame Chloe now?
00:40:50God, you're stupid
00:40:52Watch it
00:40:54Touch her again
00:40:55And we stop talking through lawyers
00:41:03You think you can take her from me?
00:41:05You lost her before I ever touched her
00:41:10She was mine before she was anything to you
00:41:12I was never yours
00:41:14I loved you
00:41:15That was my choice
00:41:18Leaving you is also my choice
00:41:23Logan
00:41:25We found backup footage
00:41:27The main camera was disabled
00:41:29But the service elevator camera
00:41:30Caught the stairwell reflection
00:41:32Looks like your angel forgot about mirrors
00:41:38Adrian, don't let them twist this
00:41:40Stella did this to me
00:41:41Are you still gonna believe her?
00:41:48That's your answer
00:41:49You chose
00:41:51Let her leave
00:41:57Ride home
00:42:00Please
00:42:17You've been quiet for six blocks
00:42:20I'm thinking
00:42:22That sounds dangerous
00:42:25He really thought I could hurt a baby
00:42:29He thought what was convenient
00:42:33Is that supposed to make me feel better?
00:42:35I'm bad at comfort
00:42:37Excellent at revenge
00:42:40That's not something normal people admit
00:42:44Normal people bore me
00:42:45Everyone looked at me like I was guilty
00:42:47I didn't
00:42:49I believe you
00:42:51Why?
00:42:52Because you don't destroy people from the shadows
00:42:55You look them in the eye first
00:42:59That's a compliment
00:43:01For me, practically poetry
00:43:08Careful
00:43:09What?
00:43:10If you keep looking at me like that
00:43:11I'll start thinking you
00:43:13Go upstairs
00:43:15Lock the door
00:43:15I'll call when Daniel has the footage
00:43:23Logan
00:43:25Thank you for believing me
00:43:26Before the footage did
00:43:27Stella
00:43:28Evidence is for the world
00:43:29Not for me
00:43:45That psycho threw herself down the stairs?
00:43:47She checked for witnesses first
00:43:49She wanted everyone to think I did it
00:43:53And now everyone will know she did it to herself
00:43:57There's more
00:44:00Chloe's pregnancy report
00:44:02Let me guess
00:44:03Fake?
00:44:05The clinic confirms no patient named Chloe Taylor was tested that day
00:44:12We found the staff member who forged the letterhead
00:44:14He's willing to testify
00:44:15So there was never a baby?
00:44:18No
00:44:19Just a weapon
00:44:22Adrian accused me of hurting a child that never existed
00:44:27Please let me punch him
00:44:29Just once
00:44:29I'll pay for bail
00:44:30Tempting
00:44:31But lawsuits leave better scars
00:44:33What about the proposal leak?
00:44:37Chloe received a transfer from Winston Media three hours after your file was downloaded
00:44:43And the access approval came through Adrian's executive account
00:44:47We have sabotage, fraud, defamation, and harassment
00:44:50That's not a scandal
00:44:52That's a buffet
00:44:53We can release everything now
00:44:55Burn her
00:44:57It's your call
00:45:03Not yet
00:45:04What do you mean not yet?
00:45:06If we release it now she'll cry and call it fake
00:45:09So let her lie where everyone can hear her
00:45:12Now you're thinking like me
00:45:20Tonight, my truth
00:45:22What Stella Hayes did to me and my unborn child
00:45:28Good
00:45:29Let her bury herself
00:45:35If you're here to make me apologize again, save your breath
00:45:39Chloe is going live tonight
00:45:41I know
00:45:42Then you know this could ruin everyone
00:45:43No, Adrian
00:45:44It could ruin you
00:45:46The Blackwood board is already on edge
00:45:49Investors are calling
00:45:50My father is furious
00:45:52And somehow that is still about you
00:45:54I am trying to make you smart
00:45:56No
00:45:57You made me silent
00:45:59Did you know Chloe faked the pregnancy?
00:46:04You knew
00:46:06And you still let her accuse me of hurting her baby?
00:46:10I suspected
00:46:12You looked me in the eye and let me stand there like a murderer
00:46:15I was trying to contain the situation
00:46:17You mean contain me
00:46:18If this goes public
00:46:19Chloe goes down
00:46:20I go down
00:46:21Blackwood goes down
00:46:21Tell the truth first
00:46:22Go on camera and you cheated
00:46:23Admit you protected her
00:46:24Admit you let her use your access to hurt me
00:46:26You know I can't do that
00:46:27Then you didn't come for forgiveness
00:46:28You came to ask me to die quietly
00:46:29So you could survive loudly
00:46:32You lost the right to say that
00:46:34Stella
00:46:34We were supposed to get married
00:46:36Don't
00:46:46Perfect
00:46:56Stella
00:46:56Why did you throw away the ring after Chloe lost her baby?
00:46:59Do you feel any remorse?
00:47:10No
00:47:10Mr. Pierce
00:47:10Are you hiding her because she's guilty?
00:47:12No
00:47:14I'm hiding her because vultures like you mistake blood for dinner
00:47:21You have a habit of dragging me into expensive rooms
00:47:24You have a habit of being chased by idiots
00:47:29Show me your hand
00:47:31I'm going to ruin them
00:47:33That sounds almost romantic
00:47:35I can do romantic
00:47:36I'm choosing restraint
00:47:38Logan
00:47:39If you say stop, I stop
00:47:43Stella Hayes
00:47:44Stella Hayes, we know you're in there
00:47:46Ready to let her bury herself?
00:47:48Start
00:47:48Ding
00:47:52I didn't want to do this
00:47:53But Stella Hayes
00:47:56But Stella Hayes won't stop attacking me
00:47:58And yet he picked me
00:48:01Please
00:48:02Stella, stop threatening me
00:48:06I just love him
00:48:07Don't be Stella
00:48:08She called me disgusting
00:48:10She threatened me
00:48:12I was terrified
00:48:14I know the Blackwoods took you in
00:48:16But you can't use pity to keep Adrian forever
00:48:20She just called me trash
00:48:22I was only trying to be kind
00:48:24Adrian gave it to me
00:48:31Your call
00:48:32We can stop here
00:48:39No
00:48:41She hasn't lied about the baby yet
00:48:45I still feel the fall
00:48:47I still hear myself screaming for my baby
00:48:50She said it
00:48:51Release the stairwell footage
00:49:10What video?
00:49:11I don't know what you're talking about
00:49:13That's fake
00:49:15That has to be fake
00:49:20Not yet
00:49:21She'll reach for the baby lie next
00:49:23Even if I fell by myself
00:49:25Stella caused it
00:49:26She terrorized me
00:49:28She put my baby in danger
00:49:30My baby
00:49:31Clinic file
00:49:33Releasing in 30 seconds
00:49:34A mother
00:49:35Girl
00:49:35You're not even a good actress
00:49:43No
00:49:43No
00:49:44That's private medical information
00:49:46They can't
00:49:57That's not what it looks like
00:50:10That's not what it looks like
00:50:11She just exposed the transfer herself
00:50:13Oh my god
00:50:15She brought receipts to her own funeral
00:50:19Now
00:50:21Chloe Taten paid me to forge the report
00:50:23She was never tested
00:50:25She was never pregnant
00:50:29You okay?
00:50:31No
00:50:32But I'm still standing
00:50:35That's my girl
00:50:36Your girl?
00:50:38Slip of the tongue
00:50:39Sure
00:50:40Adrian said he would protect me
00:50:42He said he would marry me
00:50:44If I kept quiet
00:50:49Emergency board meeting
00:50:53Now
00:50:54Dad I can explain
00:50:55You'd better
00:50:56Because the whole world is watching
00:51:01Adrian said he would protect me
00:51:03He said he would marry me
00:51:05If I kept quiet
00:51:06She's lying
00:51:08Which part?
00:51:09The affair?
00:51:10The fake pregnancy?
00:51:11The stolen proposal?
00:51:12Or the cover up?
00:51:13Answer the question
00:51:14I had a personal relationship with Chloe
00:51:16That was a mistake
00:51:18But I did not authorize fraud
00:51:20Your executive account was used to restore Chloe Tate's access to restricted project files
00:51:24I didn't know she would misuse it
00:51:26But you gave it to her
00:51:27Investors are asking whether our acting CEO used company power to protect his mistress
00:51:31Every day and less
00:51:32Don't call her that
00:51:37That is what concerns you
00:51:39You used her trust
00:51:40You used her work
00:51:42You used her silence
00:51:44And when she stopped obeying
00:51:46You let the world tear her apart
00:51:48No
00:51:50You were protecting yourself
00:51:52I was trying to protect the company
00:51:54We will open a formal review of Adrian Blackwood's conduct
00:51:57And his fitness to remain acting CEO
00:51:59Until then
00:52:01The executive privileges connected to Chloe Tate are frozen
00:52:04Dad
00:52:05Still think she's worth destroying your life for?
00:52:10Everyone is asking why Stella Hayes is so desperate to destroy the Blackwoods
00:52:14Maybe it's because they were the only family she ever had
00:52:17Her mother left
00:52:19Her father gambled her life away
00:52:21Then the Blackwoods took her in
00:52:23And this is how she repays them?
00:52:25There's extensions out one by one
00:52:28Daniel is preparing a defamation notice
00:52:32It won't erase what people already saw
00:52:35No
00:52:35But it makes them pay for looking
00:52:40Sweetheart
00:52:41Turn on channel six
00:52:44Mrs. Blackwood
00:52:45Is it true Stella Hayes was taken in by your family as a charity case?
00:52:48No
00:52:49Stella Hayes is my daughter
00:52:51Not by blood
00:52:52By choice
00:52:54And choice is the only kind of family that ever mattered to me
00:52:58But your biological son is now under investigation because of her accusations
00:53:02My son is under investigation because of his own actions
00:53:06Stella owes us nothing
00:53:08I am choosing the truth over a coward
00:53:10And if I must lose a son to protect my daughter
00:53:13Then my son should have behaved like one
00:53:21Stella, for days people have been talking about your past
00:53:25Your relationship
00:53:25And the Blackwoods
00:53:27Why speak now?
00:53:30Because people have been telling my story like it's gossip
00:53:33It's not
00:53:34It's my life
00:53:36Is it true your father gambled away your home?
00:53:38Too far
00:53:41Yes
00:53:43He was violent
00:53:44He was drunk
00:53:45He made choices
00:53:46No child should have to survive
00:53:47But being hurt as a child did not make me a liar as a woman
00:53:51Chloe Tate claimed you used your history with the Blackwoods to control Adrian
00:54:01I didn't control Adrian
00:54:03I trusted him
00:54:05There's a difference
00:54:06Tonight your team provided evidence that Chloe Tate fabricated parts of her story
00:54:10Do you want to respond to her directly?
00:54:11Chloe you wore my mother's necklace to hurt me
00:54:13You filmed me to frame me
00:54:15You faked a pregnancy to make the world hate me
00:54:17And you stole my work because you couldn't steal my life fast enough
00:54:19Ready
00:54:19She decides
00:54:23Are you alleging Chloe Tate sold your company's proposal to Winston Media?
00:54:27I'm not alleging
00:54:28I'm proving
00:54:29And tomorrow
00:54:30The board will hear exactly how Adrian Blackwood helped her get access
00:54:43Why is she here?
00:54:45Because you made me evidence
00:54:46And because your board invited adults
00:54:51Proceed
00:54:54On the night Pierce Creative's proposal was stolen
00:54:57Chloe Tate's device accessed the file through an executive permission key
00:55:00My account was misused
00:55:07Then let's look at the two-factor authentication
00:55:09Did you approve it?
00:55:11I thought it was for archived Blackwood materials
00:55:15You didn't ask
00:55:21You trusted her with my work
00:55:25But not me with my own truth
00:55:28Mr. Blackwood viewed the defamatory post 13 minutes after publication
00:55:32He did not request removal
00:55:34Instead he texted Chloe
00:55:36Don't respond
00:55:37Let it cool her down
00:55:38You watched them call me crazy
00:55:41And you thought it would calm me down
00:55:42Adrian
00:55:43Did you knowingly allow access to restricted materials
00:55:47And fail to correct defamatory statements?
00:55:49I was trying to protect the company
00:55:50Then this company needs protection from you
00:55:53Effective immediately
00:55:54Adrian is suspended as acting CEO
00:55:56You can't do this
00:55:57I just did
00:56:01You're destroying your own son
00:56:03No
00:56:04I'm stopping him from destroying everything else
00:56:12Mom
00:56:14I warned you not to hurt her
00:56:15So that's it Stella cries
00:56:17And everyone forgets I'm your son
00:56:19Stella cried because you broke her
00:56:21This review will extend beyond your CEO position
00:56:24Your eligibility as primary heir is suspended
00:56:27You're taking my inheritance?
00:56:29I'm taking back what you were never mature enough
00:56:30This is because of her
00:56:31No!
00:56:32This is because of you!
00:56:37You're choosing her over me
00:56:40We chose decency
00:56:41You abandoned it
00:56:49Don't read them
00:56:50No
00:56:51I need to see exactly who I escaped
00:56:53Stella, those were taken out of context
00:56:55Then choke on the context
00:56:57Sources say criminal complaints may follow
00:57:04Mr. Blackwood
00:57:06Did you encourage Chloe Tate to defame Stella Hayes?
00:57:08Did you know Chloe faked the pregnancy?
00:57:14Are you stepping down from Blackwood Group?
00:57:16No comment
00:57:17Did you promise to marry Chloe if she kept quiet?
00:57:21You said people would believe me
00:57:25They did
00:57:26Until you handed them evidence on livestream
00:57:28This is Adrian's fault
00:57:30He
00:57:31He said he'd protect me
00:57:33Then prove it
00:57:34Give them more texts
00:57:36More voice notes
00:57:38If you're going down
00:57:40Drag the billionaire down first
00:57:59Open the door Chloe
00:58:00You said you'd protect me
00:58:02No Adrian
00:58:03You ruined Stella
00:58:05I just learned from you
00:58:07He made me do it
00:58:09Adrian Blackwood made me do everything
00:58:20Let go
00:58:22Please
00:58:23Just listen to me
00:58:25I listened for ten years
00:58:27I'm done
00:58:28Chloe lied to me too
00:58:31And somehow you're still the victim
00:58:32No
00:58:34I know I hurt you
00:58:35I know I made mistakes
00:58:36Mistakes?
00:58:37You gave her my necklace
00:58:38You let her call me crazy
00:58:40You watched the world tear my childhood apart
00:58:43And when she accused me of killing a baby that never existed
00:58:46You believed her
00:58:49I
00:58:49I was scared
00:58:52So was I
00:58:55But I didn't become cruel
00:58:57I lost everything Stella
00:58:59You're not sorry you hurt me
00:59:01You're sorry it cost you
00:59:03No
00:59:04Forever ended in room 603
00:59:08Stella
00:59:09She said no
00:59:10You think you won?
00:59:12Did he take you from me?
00:59:13He didn't take me
00:59:14I left
00:59:15Because I don't want you anymore
00:59:43Chloe
00:59:43Chloe Tate
00:59:44I'm not talking without a lawyer
00:59:45Good idea
00:59:45You'll need one
00:59:46We have a warrant to question you regarding harassment fraud and evidence tampering
00:59:49This is because of Stella
00:59:50She's obsessed with me
00:59:51No
00:59:51This is because you paid a man to forge a pregnancy report
00:59:54Sold stolen corporate materials
00:59:55And sent a blood threat to a woman's home
00:59:57Vanessa handled the flowers
00:59:59Paid by your card
01:00:00Adrian gave me access
01:00:02Yes
01:00:04And you used it
01:00:05He made me do it
01:00:05He promised me everything
01:00:07He said
01:00:07Stella was nothing without him
01:00:09Chloe
01:00:10Did you fake the pregnancy?
01:00:11Did you frame Stella Hayes?
01:00:12I loved him
01:00:13I did all of this because I loved him
01:00:15No
01:00:15You did it because you wanted her life
01:00:29Mrs. Hayes
01:00:30After everything that happened
01:00:32Why should we trust your team to deliver?
01:00:35Because we didn't just survive sabotage
01:00:37We improved the strategy after it
01:00:40Winston lowered the price by cutting risk controls
01:00:43That looks attractive for one quarter
01:00:46But the real cost shows up when something goes wrong and no one has a plan
01:00:50You don't need the cheapest partner
01:00:52You need the one still standing when the room catches fire
01:00:54This is emotional manipulation
01:01:02No
01:01:04Emotional manipulation was stealing my work and hoping I'd be too broken to improve it
01:01:10We're awarding the contract to Pierce Creative
01:01:12Thank you
01:01:13My team earned it
01:01:18Still think you're just the girl they took in?
01:01:20No
01:01:20I think I'm the woman they underestimated
01:01:22Much better
01:01:24I have an announcement
01:01:28Stella Hayes is no longer senior strategist
01:01:31Excuse me?
01:01:33She's partner
01:01:33Effective immediately
01:01:39You didn't tell me
01:01:43I like surprising beautiful women with power
01:01:48Actually I have one more surprise
01:01:56Logan
01:01:59You kept the other one
01:02:00I figured we should make it a match set again
01:02:04That's your big surprise?
01:02:05No
01:02:05Stella Hayes, you are infuriating, brilliant, impossible to scare and terrible at asking for help
01:02:10You don't need a man to save you, you never did
01:02:12But if you ever want one beside you while you burn down every room that tried to cage you
01:02:15I'd like the job
01:02:16That was almost romantic
01:02:17I'm evolving
01:02:18Yes
01:02:21You look happy
01:02:22I am
01:02:29Family tradition
01:02:30Don't argue
01:02:32Thank you

01:03:01To choosing yourself
01:03:03Choosing yourself
