00:00:03Urgent? Urgent to be in someone else's bed.
00:00:11I've made my decision about the classified research project.
00:00:14Who's the candidate?
00:00:16Me. I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms.
00:00:33Miss me, babe?
00:00:35Here. A gift. You'll have to guess the password to open it.
00:00:40You're the only gift I want.
00:00:43There's only one like it in the world. You like it, don't you?
00:00:49If it's truly one of a kind, then yes, I love it.
00:00:56Sell this, ASAP. Send the money here.
00:01:14Come here. Give me a hug.
00:01:16Something urgent came up at the Institute. I've gotta leave now.
00:01:23Once work calms down, let's go to Midstream Island.
00:01:31Sure. When things settle down.
00:01:41You're seriously here to submit the application? You should have discussed it with Mark.
00:01:50That bastard. I'll make him crawl on his knees begging for mercy.
00:01:54Come on. We're going back. I'll make him beg.
00:01:58No. I want him to truly regret everything.
00:02:06Come on, Elmar. Be good.
00:02:09Oh, God.
00:02:11I miss you. Miss you so much.
00:02:32Let go of me.
00:02:34Stella. Please, let me explain.
00:02:38Wipe her lipstick off your mouth before you start talking.
00:02:43It's not what it looks like.
00:02:45She's the daughter of a potential investor.
00:02:47Her culture is just... relaxed.
00:02:49I swear I'll be more careful.
00:02:52Is that how you secure investments? By getting that close to their daughters?
00:02:56It's for work. Can you not blow this out of proportion?
00:02:59If you're done with me, Mark, just be honest.
00:03:02I'll give you the divorce you want.
00:03:07Don't you ever say that.
00:03:09Divorce is not an option.
00:03:13We work through things.
00:03:17Work through what?
00:03:19Him sleeping with someone else?
00:03:23It's... nothing.
00:03:25I saw the name.
00:03:27Sweetheart Wild Thing.
00:03:48Clear them all out.
00:04:07Sorry. This card's no longer valid.
00:04:09That's a premium card. It can't be cancelled.
00:04:14It's cancelled now.
00:04:16What's gotten into you? You're disgraceful!
00:04:25How dare you lay a hand on him!
00:04:27You lay a hand on me again, and I'll hit him twice as hard.
00:04:32Didn't I have every reason to slap you?
00:04:35Ah!
00:04:36Ella es escandalosa!
00:04:37Si eres lo suficientemente audaz para ser un amante, no finijas ser inocente.
00:04:42Hablo dieciséis idiomas.
00:04:58Stella.
00:05:00What is it, Mr. Walsh?
00:05:02Hayley's just a friend.
00:05:04Do you have to humiliate us in public?
00:05:10Even if I walk in on you in bed?
00:05:13I should protect the family name?
00:05:15She's just a friend!
00:05:18All right then, I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:05:21And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:05:25And you, dear husband?
00:05:28Don't get jealous.
00:05:49Mark, this is the end of us.
00:06:03This ring has trapped me for three years.
00:06:06It's time to end it.
00:06:21Whiskey on the rocks.
00:06:28Where the hell is she?
00:06:55Same.
00:07:01She wouldn't dare go to someone else!
00:07:04Calm down.
00:07:05She's just throwing a fit.
00:07:06What?
00:07:07Insane woman.
00:07:08What a disgrace.
00:07:18Wanna be my one night stand?
00:07:22Don't worry, I'm fun and clean.
00:07:26Ma'am, you're drunk.
00:07:59We're going home.
00:08:02I'm not going anywhere.
00:08:05What are you doing?
00:08:06acting like this.
00:08:14She doesn't want to.
00:08:15Don't force her.
00:08:17Who are you?
00:08:18This is none of your business.
00:08:25He's my friend.
00:08:27All right, then.
00:08:28I'll go find myself a friend too.
00:08:30And I'll do everything you and Hayley have done.
00:08:37Mark, calm down.
00:08:39Let's go.
00:08:40Friends?
00:08:41Friends?
00:08:41Is that what you call it last night?
00:08:46Stop lying.
00:08:47Stop acting.
00:08:49I see right through you.
00:08:57Let's go.
00:08:58Let's go.
00:08:58Now.
00:09:00I said don't force her.
00:09:11I want a divorce.
00:09:16No!
00:09:17We don't do divorce!
00:09:23Sorry, it's Saria.
00:10:05The big shot is coming today.
00:10:08Just focus on work.
00:10:21He's so hot.
00:10:22You're flushing.
00:10:25I'm William, your project lead.
00:10:31Stella, your turn.
00:10:40The core of this patent is its innovative approach to energy harvesting.
00:10:45chocolate pudding?
00:11:05Oh no.
00:11:08I did it with stuff.
00:11:16How long do you plan to hide?
00:11:18I wasn't hiding.
00:11:23Put this on.
00:11:30I'll return it later.
00:11:59Who is he?
00:12:00What are you to him?
00:12:04None of your business.
00:12:10It's another man's coat!
00:12:13You're wearing another man's coat!
00:12:15We're divorcing.
00:12:17You don't get to control me.
00:12:21We're talking at home.
00:12:58You really dare leave me?
00:13:03Stop this.
00:13:05Let's fix this.
00:13:08It's too late.
00:13:24A friend brought back a box of ultra-thin condoms from Rascate.
00:13:28Want to give them a try tonight?
00:13:30I don't want to call Fal-Tri-
00:14:10Stella, don't be like this
00:14:11You know you're the only one I care about
00:14:14Let me freshen up first, okay?
00:14:16No need, I don't mind
00:14:19I want tonight to feel special
00:14:21Something to remember
00:14:22I won't take long
00:14:34Two, one
00:14:39Stella, something urgent came up at the office
00:14:41I've got to go
00:14:45Don't wait up for me
00:14:45Just get some rest after your shower
00:14:55You swore you loved me
00:14:56But you never even see me
00:14:57You never saw that I was already gone
00:15:12Goodbye, Mark
00:15:15Stella?
00:15:16You, you came back
00:15:29What are you burning?
00:15:37Weird, how come Mark's back so early today?
00:15:40What are you burning?
00:15:42Nothing important, just old junk
00:15:44Why are you back?
00:15:46Forgot something
00:15:46I'll just run upstairs and grab it
00:15:54I'm sorry, Stella
00:15:55Work has been non-stop
00:15:56I promise I'll make it up to you
00:15:59His phone lit up
00:16:00I saw Haley's name
00:16:02I've got to run
00:16:05How come he's heading out this late at night?
00:16:07He's definitely got something to hide
00:16:10The entire box was gone
00:16:12He took them all for her
00:16:15He was just in this room
00:16:16And didn't even notice our wedding photo is missing
00:16:20Now that Mark's not here
00:16:22I can finally get a proper night's sleep
00:16:27Lainey, is Mr. Briggs not in today?
00:16:30Why the sudden interest in the boss?
00:16:31It's not like that
00:16:32I had an accident, my period
00:16:34And he lent me his coat
00:16:35I'm just returning it
00:16:36Relax, he's in meetings all day
00:16:38You won't catch him
00:16:39Mr. Briggs
00:16:40The jacket you lent me was custom made
00:16:42So I bought another of equal value
00:16:44If you're not satisfied
00:16:46Feel free to contact me
00:16:47And I wrote down my number
00:16:53My phone rang
00:16:55It was my husband Mark's assistant
00:16:59Calling about the patents
00:17:00I'd let him use for free for years
00:17:05He can't even call me himself
00:17:07He sends an assistant to handle business
00:17:10Tell him not to bother
00:17:11I'm coming to the office
00:17:13Today
00:17:30Mrs. Walsh
00:17:31It's been a while
00:17:33What brings you in?
00:17:34I'm here to sign a contract
00:17:35Is Mark in his office?
00:17:37He
00:17:38Should be
00:17:39Yes
00:17:43Mrs. Walsh
00:17:44You're here
00:17:47Let me show you to the legal department
00:17:49I know the way, Cody
00:17:50Move
00:17:55Please, maybe we should wait
00:17:57He's in a meeting
00:17:59Stop it
00:18:00You love it
00:18:02A meeting?
00:18:03Is that what he calls her?
00:18:05Mrs. Walsh
00:18:06Mrs. Walsh
00:18:06It's not what it looks like
00:18:09It looks like my husband is entertaining a guest
00:18:11I should go say hello
00:18:20Urgent?
00:18:22Urgent to be in someone else's bed
00:18:28I've made my decision about the classified research project
00:18:31Who's the candidate?
00:18:33Me
00:18:33I'll come by tomorrow to fill out the forms
00:18:49Miss me, babe?
00:18:52Here
00:18:52A gift
00:18:54You'll have to guess the password to open it
00:18:56You're the only gift I want
00:18:59There's only one like it in the world
00:19:01You like it, don't you?
00:19:06If it's truly one of a kind
00:19:08Then yes
00:19:09I love it
00:19:12Sell this
00:19:13ASAP
00:19:14Send the money here
00:19:30Come here
00:19:31Give me a hug
00:19:32Something urgent came up at the institute
00:19:34I've got to leave now
00:19:40Once work calms down
00:19:41Let's go to Midstream Island
00:19:48Sure
00:19:49When things settle down
00:19:56Mrs. Walsh, are you okay?
00:19:57He pushed you so hard
00:19:58Get your hands off me, Cody
00:19:59Stella, enough with the drama
00:20:01I already told you
00:20:02This isn't what you think
00:20:03Why do you keep attacking Haley?
00:20:04Mrs. Smith
00:20:05I'm sorry on her behalf
00:20:06She didn't mean it
00:20:07For you, Mark
00:20:07I'll let it slide
00:20:08But she better get lost
00:20:10And stay away from this company
00:20:12Stella, this is a workplace
00:20:14Can we not make a scene?
00:20:16Save the fake politeness
00:20:18I'll leave when I'm done
00:20:19But Mark, you are truly disgusting
00:20:28I'm done selling my patent
00:20:29The contract has expired
00:20:31And our partnership is over
00:20:33Mrs. Walsh, is there a problem?
00:20:35This patent is a cornerstone of our business
00:20:38No issues
00:20:39I've simply found a new buyer
00:20:43Stella, if you're upset
00:20:45Take it out on me
00:20:46Hit me, yell at me
00:20:46Whatever you want
00:20:47But don't mess around with the patent
00:20:49Let's talk about this at home
00:20:50You still think I'm just being emotional?
00:20:52That you can coax me back in line?
00:20:53I'm not joking
00:20:54The deal is off
00:20:55If your company continues using my patent
00:20:57My lawyer will file for compensation
00:21:01Mr. Walsh, what's going on?
00:21:02If she pulls the patent
00:21:03We're in trouble
00:21:03Multiple projects will fail
00:21:05I'll handle it
00:21:06Stella!
00:21:30William, what are you doing in my car?
00:21:33Ms. Russell
00:21:33If you needed a ride, you could have asked
00:21:36Climbing into my car like this is a bit bold
00:21:39I'm so sorry
00:21:40I didn't realize this was your car
00:21:42My mistake
00:21:42I'll get out
00:21:43Wait
00:21:44Yes, Mr. Briggs?
00:21:45I saw the note in the jacket you returned
00:21:48I'd rather you focus on your responsibilities
00:21:50Show some professionalism
00:22:01Stella!
00:22:02Oh my god, I'm so sorry
00:22:03Let me see
00:22:04Wait
00:22:05This is already swollen
00:22:08This wasn't me
00:22:09What happened?
00:22:10It's okay, Lainey
00:22:11It's not your fault
00:22:11I'll be fine
00:22:12Don't lie to me
00:22:15You went to see Mark today
00:22:16Did that scum ad lay a hand on you?
00:22:24Unbelievable!
00:22:25You're his wife!
00:22:26How dare he hit you over some other woman?
00:22:30Maybe he was always this man
00:22:32And I was just too blind to see it
00:22:40Speak of the devil
00:22:42It's Mark
00:22:50How dare you keep calling her?
00:22:52You cheat on her?
00:22:54You hit her and now you think she wants to hear your voice?
00:22:56I'm her real friend
00:22:58When you hurt her, it is my business
00:23:09She's my friend, Mark
00:23:10The least you can do is show her some respect
00:23:13Hearing your voice disgusts me
00:23:15I don't, Estella
00:23:16I need your strex
00:23:18You honestly make me sick
00:23:20You want both women?
00:23:21Do you hear how pathetic that sounds?
00:23:24If your coworks and boss see me
00:23:27That won't be good for you
00:23:28So come home
00:23:32Fine
00:23:34I'll go back after I finish up here
00:23:37What if he hits you again?
00:23:39Let me come with you
00:23:41He won't
00:23:42Trust me
00:23:43He wouldn't dare
00:23:47I had the chef make all your favorites
00:23:49Come on, let's eat
00:24:00Stella, about earlier
00:24:01Haley's family has deep ties to our company
00:24:03I can't afford to upset them
00:24:05I went too far with you
00:24:06Right
00:24:07That's why I'm giving you full admin access to the security system
00:24:12This company is yours too
00:24:13You're half the boss here
00:24:15I promise
00:24:16This won't happen again
00:24:17Today was the last time
00:24:19Just trust me
00:24:22Half the boss, huh?
00:24:24Is that your way of saying you'll keep using my patent without paying a cent?
00:24:30Stell, don't be upset
00:24:32Haley is just a friend
00:24:34Her parents are important business partners, that's all
00:24:40A friend?
00:24:41Would you kiss a friend like that?
00:24:43Hold her in your arms in your office?
00:24:46Let's not talk about that
00:24:48Stella, let's have a baby
00:24:51A baby?
00:24:52Yes
00:24:52Didn't you always want one?
00:24:54If we have a child, you'll always be my wife
00:24:57You won't feel so insecure
00:25:00Insecure?
00:25:02You think a child is a bargaining chip?
00:25:04A prize for accepting your humiliation?
00:25:09Is the title Mrs. Walsh supposed to make me forget you were with another woman?
00:25:19I have a headache
00:25:20Maybe some other time
00:25:22Your head!
00:25:23The injury!
00:25:24I'm so sorry, I should have paid more attention
00:25:26Let me get the first aid kits
00:25:32Lainey already took care of it
00:25:34No need for your concern now
00:25:39I'll sleep in the study
00:25:50Stella!
00:25:51They've made adjustments to the team for the closed project
00:25:56What do you mean?
00:25:57I thought the list was final
00:25:59It was
00:26:01But William is on the project now
00:26:04William
00:26:06And he's personally reviewing every single person on the team
00:26:10That means our spots aren't safe anymore
00:26:15William isn't just a brilliant researcher, Stella
00:26:17The Briggs family owns half of Brissette
00:26:19He's just enjoying his freedom before taking over their empire
00:26:24His family's wealth has nothing to do with my goals
00:26:26I just need to get on his team
00:26:28Imagine if you actually won him over
00:26:30Wouldn't that drive your pathetic husband crazy?
00:26:33A thriving career and a man way better than Mark
00:26:36It's a win-win
00:26:37Lainey, my mind is on research
00:26:39Men in revenge have no place in my world right now
00:26:42But I do need to speak with him
00:26:43Can you help me get a moment alone with Mr. Briggs?
00:26:47A private meeting?
00:26:49Of course!
00:26:50Of course!
00:26:51Leave it to me!
00:26:57You're home!
00:26:58Are you hungry?
00:26:59I can ask the kitchen to make something
00:27:03I'm not hungry
00:27:04Eat by yourself
00:27:09Stella
00:27:10Not eating will harm your health
00:27:12Please, have at least a little
00:27:15Looking at you ruins my appetite
00:27:17Didn't you say you wanted to visit Hoxavi?
00:27:19I'll be free next month
00:27:20Let's go together
00:27:23You were always too busy for that trip before
00:27:26What changed?
00:27:28Oh, right
00:27:30The patent
00:27:31If you're so desperate for a vacation
00:27:34Why don't you take Haley instead?
00:27:39Stella, don't talk to me like that
00:27:41I hate it
00:27:42I apologized, didn't I?
00:27:44Then how am I supposed to talk to you?
00:27:46Should I sit down and have a pleasant little heart-to-heart about your affair?
00:27:51Yes
00:27:52We should definitely talk
00:27:59Fine
00:28:00If you want to talk, we'll talk
00:28:03I'm curious what else you think you can get from me
00:28:20All right, what is it you wanted to say?
00:28:22Stella, there's nothing going on with Haley
00:28:25This is business
00:28:27The Smith family collaboration will take our company to the next level
00:28:30Her father suggested she get experience with us
00:28:33With her background in international law, the legal department is a perfect fit
00:28:38And what does her job have to do with me?
00:28:43This is why I brought it up
00:28:45If your patent stays with us, it'll be the first project Haley takes on
00:28:50She'll be pleased, her family will be impressed, and it helps our company
00:28:54You won't turn me down, will you?
00:28:56It's just a renewal
00:28:59So this whole talk is about using my patent to make Haley happy?
00:29:04I'm being honest
00:29:05A strong company benefits us both
00:29:07We're married, Stella
00:29:09Isn't it normal for a couple to support each other?
00:29:13Normal?
00:29:14You have the nerve to call this normal?
00:29:18This is my patent
00:29:20I've changed my mind
00:29:22I'm not selling
00:29:23And no one, not even you, have the right to force me
00:29:30Enough
00:29:31This conversation is over
00:29:33Go to the office tomorrow and sign the renewal
00:29:37Don't act like a child
00:30:14Hey Allegra
00:30:16Allegra, what's going on?
00:30:18Miss Russell?
00:30:20Mr. Walsh asked me to inform
00:30:23Stoke harshed that in Cormu
00:30:25You need to come to the office today
00:30:28I'm sorry, Allegra
00:30:30But I've decided not to work with your company anymore
00:30:32I won't be coming in
00:30:33I know you've made up your mind
00:30:35But Mr. Walsh said if you don't come, it would be my error
00:30:39He said I could lose my job
00:30:43Wait, are you saying Mark would fire you
00:30:45Just because I refuse to come?
00:30:46He said he'd make sure no one else in the industry hires me
00:30:50I know this is emotional blackmail
00:30:53But it's fine
00:30:54I'll find a way
00:30:58That shameless bastard
00:31:01Miss Russell, please don't make it worse for yourself because of me
00:31:06I'll come
00:31:09Don't worry, Allegra
00:31:10This isn't your fault
00:31:12He's targeting me, not you
00:31:14I won't let you lose your job over this
00:31:16Thank you
00:31:17Thank you so much, Miss Russell
00:31:27Mrs. Walsh, what are you doing here?
00:31:33You shouldn't go in
00:31:33That Haley girl is targeting you
00:31:35She's scolding the whole team
00:31:37Calling them useless for not landing the deal
00:31:40It's alright, Evie
00:31:43Well, look who finally decided to show up
00:31:46You were so high and mighty yesterday
00:31:48Acting like you didn't need the contract
00:31:50And now?
00:31:52You're back to sign it
00:31:53If you were gonna crawl back anyway
00:31:55What was all that drama for?
00:31:59What the hell are you pretending for?
00:32:02If Mark hadn't dragged innocent people into this, I wouldn't be here
00:32:06So this is your talent?
00:32:08Manipulating people who have nothing to do with your feud?
00:32:11Impressive
00:32:11Stella, all's fair in love and war
00:32:13If it works, it works
00:32:14Now sign the damn contract right now
00:32:16No, I'm not signing anything
00:32:18You?
00:32:20Mrs. Walsh, please
00:32:21If something's bothering you, let's talk it through
00:32:23You are Mr. Walsh's wife
00:32:25Just tell us what you need
00:32:26The reason I'm not renewing the contract?
00:32:29Simple
00:32:30It's her
00:32:32If you want my signature
00:32:34Tell your Mr. Walsh to show me some sincerity
00:32:37Start by kicking Haley out of the company
00:32:39And make sure she leaves humiliated
00:32:43Who do you think you are, Stella?
00:32:45It's just one damn patent
00:32:47You think this entire company revolves around you?
00:32:51Well, guess what?
00:32:53I'm not going anywhere
00:32:54Keep dreaming
00:32:58Mrs. Walsh, wait
00:33:00Allow me to walk you out
00:33:01Please
00:33:02If you don't mind me saying
00:33:03Could you have a word with Mr. Walsh?
00:33:06Haley isn't fit for this role
00:33:07He still has feelings for you
00:33:09He'll listen to you
00:33:17Choria's a big city, Allegra
00:33:18There's no shortage of companies here that would value someone like you
00:33:22I understand
00:33:24Take care, Mrs. Walsh
00:33:36Mark, you should have seen her
00:33:38She was completely out of line
00:33:39I was only doing what you told me to
00:33:41And she turned around and told me to get lost
00:33:44All right, don't get too worked up
00:33:46I understand you're angry
00:33:49Why don't I take you to your favorite place for dinner tonight?
00:33:51No!
00:33:52I want Stella to kneel and apologize to me!
00:33:56Make her mark
00:33:57Please?
00:34:01Haley
00:34:04You really think you're that important?
00:34:11What did you just say?
00:34:12Stella is my wife
00:34:13And always will be
00:34:15What's between us
00:34:16Is nothing more than a fling
00:34:20You're joking, right?
00:34:22If you don't like it, you're free to leave
00:34:23I was just messing around
00:34:30Don't be mad
00:34:31I'll let it go
00:34:33But you owe me
00:34:35Fine
00:34:35Whatever you ask
00:34:37Just leave Stella alone
00:34:54Hello?
00:34:55There's a party tonight
00:34:56I got an invite
00:34:57I'm wiped out
00:34:59I don't have energy
00:35:00William's attending
00:35:01Aren't you hoping to talk to him?
00:35:03I got an invite
00:35:05All right
00:35:06I'll come
00:35:06Send me the details
00:35:14Mark, you're incredible
00:35:29Hi, Stella
00:35:33Stella, what's with this outfit?
00:35:39Is there something wrong with it?
00:35:41We're here to drink
00:35:42Not sign contracts
00:35:43Good thing I planned ahead
00:35:45Change now
00:35:54Isn't this dress too daring?
00:35:56Perfect
00:35:56You look absolutely gorgeous
00:36:07Grady, meet Stella
00:36:09Stella, this is Grady
00:36:10Hello
00:36:11Many try to get close to William
00:36:14Take your time
00:36:15Take your time
00:36:20Mr. Briggs
00:36:21She has project questions for you
00:36:32Exactly how long were you thinking of sitting like that?
00:36:41I'm so sorry
00:36:42Sorry, Mr. Briggs
00:36:43This wasn't intentional
00:36:44Just give me a second
00:36:47You'll have to do better than that
00:36:49If you're staging an act
00:36:50Put in more effort
00:36:52That's not what you think
00:36:53I'm here about the project roster
00:36:55I'm hoping you'll give me a shot
00:36:59Is this your way of earning a spot on the team?
00:37:02I have papers and patents
00:37:04I can bring value to the project
00:37:07Clearly your talents stretch past what you let slip
00:37:13Wait!
00:37:24It was a misunderstanding
00:37:26I just want to join the project
00:37:41Explaining will only make it worse
00:37:52Mark, what are you staring at?
00:37:55Nothing
00:37:57Mr. Briggs, I meant every word
00:38:02Please, give it thought
00:38:04Throwing yourself at me in public?
00:38:06Won't people say I'm playing favorites?
00:38:08It wasn't what you think
00:38:09It was an accident
00:38:12You're skilled at attracting men
00:38:14But I dislike forward women
00:38:16I take pride in my work
00:38:18I'm not the woman you think
00:38:22I won't bother you again
00:38:30Where's Stella?
00:38:31Didn't she leave with you?
00:38:32Not sure
00:38:33Looks like she decided to go
00:38:34Mr. Briggs, I made her wear the dress
00:38:36She came in a shirt and jeans
00:38:55Mr. Briggs, I heard you're hand-picking top talents for the new project
00:39:00Go ahead
00:39:01Stella Russell, she's the author of the field-shaking paper on biologically active factors
00:39:06Mr. Briggs, I heard you're hand-picking top talents for the new project
00:39:07So she's the anonymous author of that paper
00:39:20So she's the anonymous author of that paper
00:39:21You were gone all day
00:39:22Who were you fooling around with?
00:39:24I was in the lab
00:39:25It's the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and perfume on you that makes me sick
00:39:30Fine, have it your way
00:39:38Stella! Open the door!
00:39:58Good morning, Miss Russell
00:40:00I'm Luca, Mr. Briggs' assistant
00:40:02We have an opening to assist Mr. Briggs with document handling
00:40:05And you're perfect for it
00:40:06No
00:40:07Thanks, but this position doesn't suit me
00:40:10I'd rather join a group with my peers
00:40:11Ms. Russell, this is a great opportunity
00:40:20Is everything settled?
00:40:21Mr. Briggs, Ms. Russell turned down the offer
00:40:24Hmm, smart girl
00:40:31Stella, we just finished today's data
00:40:34Can you drop it off with Mr. Briggs?
00:40:36Okay
00:40:41William just set off for the underground garage
00:40:43It's still possible to catch up
00:41:05Are you courting death?
00:41:07Mr. Briggs, these files need your immediate review
00:41:10Get in, we'll go over them as we drive
00:41:19Stella is my wife
00:41:21Who is this man?
00:41:22How dare she smile at him like that?
00:41:28You're a lot more tempting now than when you played innocent yesterday
00:41:32Mr. Briggs, you can just leave the documents here, I won't follow you
00:41:37Could you drop me off here?
00:41:46That night, I returned to our empty house and started throwing out every memory of Mark
00:41:50The cups we made on vacation
00:41:52I remember wishing on a shooting star that we would be happy together forever
00:41:57What a joke
00:41:58People change
00:41:59I see that now
00:42:01I see that now
00:42:09Stella, I waited for you at the Institute for ages
00:42:12Did you leave by another exit?
00:42:14I got a lift home with a colleague
00:42:21Now I have a free week
00:42:22What do you say we try for a baby?
00:42:25Mark, I've already told you
00:42:27I don't want a baby right now
00:42:31But after all these years
00:42:33You always talked about wanting one before
00:42:37Before was a long time ago
00:42:41Tell me Mark
00:42:42How are those condoms from Raskate working out for you?
00:42:46I bet Haley didn't disappoint
00:42:49You...
00:42:50You knew?
00:42:52All this time?
00:42:53I've always known
00:42:56Stella, wait!
00:42:57Just let me explain!
00:43:00Stella!
00:43:01Open this door!
00:43:02We need to talk about this!
00:43:08Fine
00:43:09I'll make you dinner
00:43:10You always soften up when I cook for you
00:43:19Wait a minute
00:43:21Where's her coffee maker?
00:43:22It's always right here on the counter
00:43:24Stella!
00:43:25What happened to the capsule coffee maker from the kitchen?
00:43:27Where is it?
00:43:40It stopped working!
00:43:41I brought it out for repairs!
00:43:43Oh!
00:43:44Well, hey Stella!
00:43:46I really messed up
00:43:48Please, give me another chance
00:43:51I made your favorite meal
00:43:53Come downstairs and eat with me?
00:43:56I'm not hungry. I think I'll skip it.
00:44:04Okay. What about that coat you got me?
00:44:06I checked the closet. It wasn't there.
00:44:12I got the wrong size. I sent it back.
00:44:15Sent it back?
00:44:16Why not just swap it for another one?
00:44:18Lately, your whole look has shifted.
00:44:21I wasn't sure what you'd actually wear.
00:44:23Anyway, it's not like you're short on clothes.
00:44:26You've got tons already.
00:44:28But you picked that coat for me, Stella.
00:44:31Whatever you choose, I'll always like it.
00:44:34I'm exhausted. I'm turning in for the night.
00:44:53Keep watch on her.
00:44:54I want updates on everything she does.
00:45:05I want to marry Stella and cherish her forever.
00:45:08Only time can prove a promise like that, Mark.
00:45:10We'll be old and worn by then.
00:45:12A lifetime is exactly what I plan to give you.
00:45:15I'll spend every bit of it keeping that promise.
00:45:41Mark, how long are you going to stare at that screen?
00:45:43Look at me for once.
00:45:47Stella's being impossible.
00:45:48Why won't she just sign?
00:45:51Does she really think we're powerless?
00:45:53If she walks away, we'll find someone else.
00:45:56You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:45:58The company is in chaos because of you.
00:46:00Me?
00:46:01I'm just trying to help.
00:46:02Why are Nose Camp not you?
00:46:04She's the one causing problems.
00:46:07Just be quiet for a moment.
00:46:20What is it?
00:46:21Why did you freeze?
00:46:24Leave.
00:46:27What?
00:46:28But we were just discussing the contract.
00:46:30I said, leave.
00:46:35Now.
00:46:41I'm staying.
00:46:43Unless there's something you're hiding from me, Mark.
00:46:48Why would she be there now?
00:46:50Something isn't right.
00:46:57Legal department.
00:46:59Revite the contracts on my desk immediately.
00:47:02Mark, wait.
00:47:03Where are you going?
00:47:04What's wrong with the contracts?
00:47:06Did I mess something up?
00:47:13Hold on.
00:47:14I spent hours on those.
00:47:16Why are you taking them back?
00:47:18You're nothing but a useless leech.
00:47:22You work in legal, don't you?
00:47:24You just sit there like a statue while I do all the real work.
00:47:28What does this company even pay you for?
00:47:31Decoration?
00:47:32Effective immediately.
00:47:33Forget about your year-end bonus.
00:47:38Mrs. Smith, have you actually looked at the contracts you're so proud of?
00:47:43They don't even follow basic company formatting.
00:47:45It's laughable.
00:47:47A child with half a brain could have done better.
00:47:49You!
00:47:49Who do you think you are talking to me like that?
00:47:52I'll mark fire you on the spot!
00:47:55Too late.
00:47:56My resignation's already been submitted.
00:47:58You missed your chance to kick me out.
00:48:00And since we're being honest, I can't stomach people who climb with favors and destroy families
00:48:05in the process.
00:48:07You tick both boxes.
00:48:09Also, newsflash.
00:48:11Waving your foreign passport around doesn't make you special.
00:48:14Trash from abroad is still trash.
00:48:18You shameless witch!
00:48:20Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?
00:48:22Try acting like you went to college instead of hurling insults and making a spectacle of
00:48:25yourself.
00:48:26Anyway, I'm not on the payroll anymore.
00:48:28Cut my year-end bonus if it makes you happy.
00:48:30I'm done here.
00:48:33Did you see that?
00:48:34Who knew Alelica had that kind of nerve?
00:48:36She was pushed too far.
00:48:37Some people just dig their own graves.
00:48:39You clueless idiots!
00:48:41Just wait until Mark gets back!
00:48:43I'll make sure every single one of you is out on the street!
00:48:49Stella, you can't keep running yourself into the ground like this.
00:48:52What if you faint?
00:48:54I appreciate it, Lainey.
00:48:56Trust me, I know my limits.
00:48:58Hey!
00:48:59The list just came out!
00:49:00Come on, let's take a look!
00:49:01You could use a breaker.
00:49:08No, I must have skimmed past it.
00:49:11Let me look again, from the top.
00:49:19Lainey, it's not there.
00:49:21My name simply isn't there.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24That's impossible!
00:49:27I'm looking right at it!
00:49:30How can you not be on the list?
00:49:38Hey, it's alright.
00:49:39Missing out on this one isn't the end of the world.
00:49:42I'm fine, really.
00:49:44You sure?
00:49:44You don't look fine.
00:49:46Honestly, I'm okay.
00:49:47Don't fuss over me.
00:49:48Go take care of your own work.
00:49:55If I can't join the project, so be it.
00:49:58The marriage is already finished.
00:50:00It's time to disappear for a while.
00:50:03Miss Russell, try not to let the list get to you.
00:50:06Luca, you really have no talent for comforting people, you know that?
00:50:10Mr. Briggs is hosting a dinner at the Voyage Hotel tonight.
00:50:13If you're not busy, maybe you should come.
00:50:15It might give him a chance to reconsider.
00:50:17You helped him with his plans.
00:50:19If he made up his mind to exclude me, what's the point in showing up to beg?
00:50:23That won't be necessary.
00:50:24Mr. Briggs must have his reasons.
00:50:27I'm sure he's found someone better suited for the team.
00:50:33Mark will discover the divorce agreement sooner or later.
00:50:36He'll move heaven and earth to hunt me down.
00:50:38But his attention is tangled up with Haley now.
00:50:41He won't waste much effort tracking me if I vanish completely from his radar.
00:50:46The farther I run, the safey I'll be.
00:50:52Stella, you're taking leave.
00:50:54Is this because you weren't on the project list?
00:50:56I just need a break, Lainey.
00:50:58You've seen how hard I've been working.
00:51:00You deserve it.
00:51:01You're always the first to arrive and the last to leave.
00:51:04Rest well.
00:51:08Mr. Briggs, that's Ms. Russell.
00:51:10She took extended leave today.
00:51:11She doesn't look happy.
00:51:12Should we tell her the truth about the team selection?
00:51:16She saw us.
00:51:19Sir?
00:51:20She's walking away.
00:51:21Fast.
00:51:21She's running.
00:51:22It's fine.
00:51:23She's not the delicate type.
00:51:24Drive.
00:51:26Pick up the phone, Stella!
00:51:27Where are you?
00:51:32Blocked.
00:51:34She actually blocked my number.
00:51:38If she's not coming home, where is she going?
00:51:47There she is.
00:51:48Finally.
00:51:49Wait a minute.
00:51:54It's the same one she got into before.
00:52:15Stella, why haven't you come home these past few days?
00:52:27I've just had a lot going on.
00:52:28So being busy means you have to clear out all your things?
00:52:31Half the house is empty, Stella.
00:52:33And everything missing belongs to you.
00:52:36You even blocked my number.
00:52:37And the wedding photo, it's gone.
00:52:39Where did you put everything, Stella?
00:52:41So he finally noticed.
00:52:43I ran into a little financial trouble, so I pawned my things.
00:52:47Once I've sorted things out, I'll get them back.
00:52:49If you needed money, why didn't you just tell me?
00:52:51There was no reason to pawn your things.
00:52:54Take these.
00:52:55Use them for whatever you want.
00:52:58That's not necessary.
00:52:59I've already sorted the money myself.
00:53:01You can keep those cards.
00:53:02Stella, what are you hiding from me?
00:53:04We're still husband and wife.
00:53:06No matter what's going on, good or bad, you can tell me.
00:53:09I'll handle it with you.
00:53:10You don't have to shoulder everything alone.
00:53:16There's nothing to tell.
00:53:18Work's been busy at the Institute, and I have a business trip coming up.
00:53:21I'll be out of town for a while.
00:53:22Work's been busy at the Institute, and I'll be out of town for a while.
00:53:56I'll be out of town for a while.
00:54:06You're right.
00:54:10Man, if you help me out, I'll give you $500.
00:54:13When you head back in, just dump the water from your bucket onto the man waiting outside the restroom.
00:54:17him. He's been following me since I left home. I'm desperate. Please, if you can pull this
00:54:22off, the money's yours. Please, don't let him know I'm gone. And thank you, really.
00:54:37What the hell are you doing? Oh my goodness, sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you standing
00:54:42there. I thought you were just part of the plumbing. Oh gosh, let me get that for you.
00:54:49Oh my gosh.
00:54:56I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Enough! Just go! Don't bother me!
00:55:07Stella, do you really think this will get rid of me?
00:55:17Hello? Stella, how much longer are you going to keep pestering Mark? He's finished with you. Why
00:55:22don't you have a little dignity and let go? Maybe you need a reminder, Haley. Mark and I are still
00:55:27married. The law is on my side. So tell me, who gave you permission to call me and hurl
00:55:32accusations? I'm not here to fight with you! Why don't you come over so we can talk face to face?
00:55:39It's simple. The one who isn't loved is always the third wheel. Take my advice and know your place.
00:55:47Is this really what the Smith family taught you? To meddle in marriages and play the mistress? It's
00:55:53almost admirable how you can spout this nonsense without a single scrap of dignity. You better watch
00:55:59your mouth! I've got better things to do than play along with your bullshit. Maybe try focusing on the
00:56:04Walsh Group's plummeting profits instead of pestering me. Stella, how could you speak to
00:56:12Haley like that? So you're her backup. Of course. Siding with anyone you think can benefit your
00:56:16precious son. You better show up right now. Let me make this clear. Clinging to my son will get you
00:56:20nowhere. You are nothing but a burden to our family. Come to the Voyage Hotel immediately. If not,
00:56:25you can face the consequences. Fine. I'm on my way.
00:56:47So, you finally bothered to show up. I want you to divorce my son right now. And why is that?
00:56:54What have you ever done for the Walsh family? You can't even give us a child. Useless. There's no
00:57:01place for a barren hen like you. Her family is nothing. Raised without manners. You shouldn't lower
00:57:08yourself, Jaiselyn. Get those divorce papers ready by Monday. I refuse to tolerate you for one more day.
00:57:15Fine. I'll divorce him. What do you want out of this, Stella? I'm not making any demands. Divorce is fine
00:57:24by me.
00:57:30But, Jaiselyn, I expect you to pay back every cent I spent on your beauty appointments and imported
00:57:36supplements. The health supplements you're taking every month, why not ask Mark who's really footing the bill?
00:57:41And everyone at the casino knows exactly how many toes you've stepped on.
00:57:46Stella, don't you dare get greedy with me. Why should I pay you back a cent? Those supplements?
00:57:50My son paid for them. As for the salon visits, I cover those with my own membership.
00:57:54Stella, honestly, isn't this a little beneath you? Or could it be you're not actually ready for this
00:57:58divorce? And you're just making excuses to keep Jaiselyn on a leash? I'm just laying out the truth here.
00:58:04That membership card you're so fond of? My friend owns the salon. I got you a 90% discount.
00:58:08Please, Mrs. Walsh, don't worry. From now on, I'll make sure you have everything you need.
00:58:12Your standard of living drop, I swear. Supplements, salon treatments, I have plenty of connections.
00:58:16I'll handle it all. These are just the tip of the ice bank. Fine. If you claim all that's gone,
00:58:21then so be it. But I want you to divorce my son right now. All right. But a divorce requires
00:58:26both
00:58:27parties to show up. If you can get Mark here, I won't stand in your way.
00:58:32If you're so determined, maybe spend your energy convincing him instead of wasting mine.
00:58:42She really has no idea what's coming. We gave her the chance to bow out gracefully,
00:58:46and she turned it down. She'll see. Once her name's dragged through the mud,
00:58:50Mark won't even look her way. And by then, leaving won't be her decision anymore.
00:58:54Jaiselyn, you're the best. I swear. I'll be the most loyal daughter-in-law you've ever had.
00:59:27Jaiselyn, you're the best.
00:59:29I really believe Ms. Russell is the ideal choice for the project.
00:59:32She's head and shoulders above the others.
00:59:35Also, earlier today, when she saw our car, she looked hesitant, almost anxious, and left right after.
00:59:40It felt like she didn't want to be misunderstood.
00:59:42Honestly, sir, I don't believe she's the kind of woman you perceive her to be.
00:59:45She's always been composed and respectful in everything she does.
00:59:49My attention is needed elsewhere. Inform me of our guest's arrival.
00:59:56It looked like Stella.
01:00:00No, it couldn't have been her.
01:00:28Please. I'll give you anything you want. Just let me go.
01:00:32No!
01:00:36Quit fighting. We're not here to harm you. We just need a few dirty pictures.
01:00:41Pictures? What kind of pictures?
01:00:51Who asked you to do this? I have money. Whatever they paid you, I'll match it and add more!
01:00:55Don't bother. This will be over soon if you stop fighting.
01:00:58You're committing a crime. Sooner or later, you'll be arrested.
01:01:00I will report everything and none of you will walk away clean.
01:01:03Or, you take my money now, walk out that door, and I never mention this again.
01:01:06Think it over. Don't waste your energy.
01:01:10Hayley?
01:01:12There's no way out. Since we're gonna stage something like this, it better look real.
01:01:18Stage what?
01:01:19People care about believability now. These are your props. Use them however you want. And don't bother with condoms.
01:01:34Haley, this is illegal! You think foreign citizenship makes you untouchable?
01:01:41You bunch of wimps. I'll handle it.
01:01:47And you, Stella? You really think you're on Mark's level? He's the one who told me to do this. He
01:01:52wants you punished.
01:02:04There. The contract is binding. Your patent rights now belong to my family. For free. She's all yours, boys. Enjoy.
01:02:12Damn, you smell good. So soft. Bet you look real pretty crying. Which toy should we use first?
01:02:20Don't touch me.
01:02:26What the hell?
01:02:27Get these bastards out of here.
01:02:30No! Let go of me!
01:02:38Are you alright?
01:02:42The ropes are off. You're safe now.
01:02:46I'm alright, thanks.
01:02:49Come on. Let's get you out of here.
01:02:59Careful.
01:03:09Mr. Briggs, we've identified those people, but say it. She deserves the truth.
01:03:15Some of them carry infectious diseases. If they'd laid a hand on Mrs. Russell, the fallout would have been catastrophic.
01:03:22Haley, she meant to destroy me.
01:03:24Mr. Briggs, thank you for everything you've done today. But from here on out, I'll handle it myself. This isn't
01:03:30your battle.
01:03:39A clean divorce was all I wanted. But their cruelty has gone too far. If that's how they want to
01:03:44play, then I'm finished being merciful.
01:03:58Where do you think you're going? Your IV's still running.
01:04:21Stella? What on earth happened to you?
01:04:25I'm alright, Lainey.
01:04:28You are not alright. Oh dear, what happened? Don't be scared, I'm right here. Tell me who did this to
01:04:34you.
01:04:40It was Mark and Haley.
01:04:44Mark? Did he lay a hand on you? Has he completely lost his mind?
01:04:49No, he didn't touch me. Can we talk inside?
01:04:54Haley did that to you? She ought to be behind bars.
01:04:58She forced me to imprint my fingerprint on the document when I had no strength left.
01:05:03They didn't partner with me, Lainey. They stole the patent.
01:05:07Don't stress. I'll help you get it back.
01:05:10I found another buyer for you. I've been putting together the contract.
01:05:13But Haley already took the contract with my fingerprint. The buyer I found is trustworthy. Once you sign his contract,
01:05:21he'll take care of everything. What Haley did was illegal.
01:05:29I can't believe Mark. All those years he acted like the perfect partner. It was a fa-facade. It makes
01:05:35me sick. How could he be so cruel?
01:05:38Now that everything had blown up, I had no intention of that. I had no intention of playing nice anymore.
01:05:45Lainey, I need a little help. Name it. As long as it's something I can do, I'm on your side.
01:05:55Could you help me with this?
01:06:10She's cutting me off. Proving a point.
01:06:14Haley, where are you?
01:06:15At the spa. Why? Miss me already?
01:06:17There's a charity gala tomorrow night. Come with me.
01:06:19With you? To a public event? Of course!
01:06:22This is perfect. Tomorrow everyone will see the photos of Stella's humiliation. Mark will have no choice but to drop
01:06:27her for good.
01:06:28But Mark, I don't have a dress.
01:06:31I'll pick you up early. We'll go shopping.
01:06:33You're the best! Love you!
01:06:35This gala is important. A new partner will be there. Haley's family name might just give me the edge I
01:06:40need.
01:06:40Stella wants to fight dirty? I can play that game too.
01:06:44Mark, what about this one?
01:06:46Yeah, looks good.
01:06:47You haven't even looked. Look at me properly.
01:06:49It suits you. The color works.
01:06:52I'll take it.
01:06:53Stella never needed all this. A t-shirt, a ponytail, ten minutes and she was ready. Not a whole day.
01:07:03Who's that with Mr. Walsh? The Smith girl?
01:07:05They look awfully close. Is it an affair?
01:07:08No way! Did Mr. Walsh already divorce his wife?
01:07:14Divorce.
01:07:18Divorce.
01:07:26Let them whisper, Mark. Tonight they see you with me, not her.
01:07:30Keep your chin up and ignore them. We need to find Mr. Williams.
01:07:33Today is the day Stella finally loses everything.
01:07:40Mr. Williams, it's been too long.
01:07:42Mr. Walsh, a pleasure. And you are?
01:07:45Haley, I'm a great admirer of your work, sir.
01:07:49I see.
01:07:52Williams, there you are. We need to talk.
01:07:55Mark, forget him. It's time.
01:08:02Nothing. There's nothing here.
01:08:03What are you talking about? Put the phone away.
01:08:05Where is Jaiselyn? She had all day. Did she get cold feet? Come here. Now.
01:08:10Ladies, I must be going. My son and daughter-in-law need me.
01:08:14Daughter-in-law? Since when?
01:08:18A message from Haley. She must have the photos already. She wants me there for the big reveal.
01:08:23Oh, this is gonna be perfect.
01:08:33Jaiselyn! Jaiselyn! Jaiselyn!
01:08:37You look gorgeous. Did Mark pick it?
01:08:41He did. He said the color suits me.
01:08:46Darling, why did you call me here?
01:08:48My mother is arriving soon to sign a major deal with Mark.
01:08:51But with my current status, things are complicated.
01:08:56Stella signed away the patent. She has nothing left to bargain with. She's powerless now.
01:09:02Don't worry, dear. I understand perfectly. I will handle it.
01:09:14Mom, what the hell are you doing here?
01:09:19Why shouldn't I be here, Mark? To tell everyone the truth about your pathetic wife?
01:09:25Don't you dare.
01:09:27Stella is not worthy of you.
01:09:29She's been messing around with other men behind your back!
01:09:38A shameless woman, dragging the Walsh name through the mud!
01:09:46You need to divorce her! Divorce her right now before she ruins us all!
01:09:52That's enough!
01:09:58What nonsense are you spouting in front of everyone?
01:10:05Look at you, Mark. Still defending that woman? She's been cheating on you!
01:10:09Hayley is the one who deserves you! Divorce Stella already!
01:10:14Don't worry, Jaslyn. I'll take good care of Mark.
01:10:18Cheating? What are you talking about? Stella would never!
01:10:23Mom, what are you really doing here?
01:10:25I told you, I've seen the disgusting photos! And you're still defending her?
01:10:31Here. Stella signed this contract herself.
01:10:35She's guilty, Mark. She's trying to clean up her mess quietly.
01:10:38She signed this? Why?
01:10:41Was my mother right? Did she betray me with William?
01:10:50Stella.
01:10:57It can't be. After everything we did, how is she standing there?
01:11:03She wouldn't dare show her face. Not tonight. Not after those photos.
01:11:17Mark, don't let her intimidate you. My family is reasonable. They won't judge you for leaving her.
01:11:27Mr. Walsh, our family usually wouldn't consider a divorced man.
01:11:30But since Hayley has chosen you, we won't stand in your way.
01:11:33Just make sure you resolve things with your ex-wife properly.
01:11:36Everyone knows the problems in your marriage weren't your fault.
01:11:40Stella, is it?
01:11:41After everything you've done, you'd be wise to sign the divorce papers and spare yourself the shame.
01:11:47Tell me, Mark, what was my crime in this marriage?
01:11:50What did I do to deserve this treatment from you?
01:11:52Stella, this isn't...
01:11:55You have the nerve to ask what you did wrong?
01:11:57You were sleeping around while married, openly shameless.
01:12:00I used to think you refused to divorce because you had real feelings for Mark.
01:12:03But how could you take such vulgar pictures with other men?
01:12:05The props, the outfits. I never expected you to be like that.
01:12:08I won't let Mark continue to be with someone like you.
01:12:12Seriously, Stella? Are you really that reckless? That's disgusting.
01:12:15Honestly, someone from outside our circle wouldn't understand basic decency.
01:12:19No wonder Mark would rather be with the Smith girl after what she pulled, who could tolerate their wife being
01:12:24with other men.
01:12:29You're accusing me of sleeping around, Hayley. Do you have proof?
01:12:34Everyone is talking about it.
01:12:35No, you are talking about it. And without proof, it's slander. I can take you to court.
01:12:42You speak with such detail. About the toys, the outfits. Were you hiding in the room? Or did you set
01:12:50it all up?
01:12:52Well, someone saw it and told me. The truth always comes out, Stella.
01:12:57Alright, then. If you're so confident, show us the evidence. What toys? Which men? Let's see it.
01:13:05Jaiselyn! Hayley, show them the proof already! Didn't you say you saw everything yourself?
01:13:10What? I thought you had the photos!
01:13:12What's wrong? Can't find your proof now?
01:13:15Want me to give you a hand?
01:13:17Maybe I should start laying out the details of your little affair with Mark.
01:13:22Should I tell everyone what you two have been doing behind closed doors?
01:13:29Stella, wait!
01:13:32Please, let me explain!
01:13:39Stella, I trust you. Please, just hear me out.
01:13:44Don't lay off-hand on me! I feel sick just looking at you!
01:13:54Is this your idea of love, Mark? Loving two women at once? It's pathetic.
01:14:08Stella, what happened to you?
01:14:11What happened? Isn't it obvious?
01:14:14Those are the marks from her night with those men.
01:14:18Her night with them?
01:14:20You only signed the contract because you were scared we'd expose you!
01:14:25You were begging them not to stop.
01:14:28You kept saying how much you liked it.
01:14:32And now you want to act like you're the victim?
01:14:35You know what you did is a crime, right?
01:14:37You could go to prison for this.
01:14:42Stella?
01:14:45What is she talking about?
01:14:48Were you with other men?
01:14:50Mrs. Russell, how dare you spout such lies about my daughter?
01:14:54That accusation is completely out of line.
01:14:57Mr. Walsh, I only agreed to work with you because of Haley.
01:15:01After this slander, I see no reason to continue.
01:15:03Come, Haley.
01:15:04Mother, wait. I don't want to go.
01:15:06Hold on.
01:15:08Haley, what exactly did you do to Stella?
01:15:10Mark, I haven't done anything, don't you believe me?
01:15:12Hasn't Stella been ignoring you lately?
01:15:14Staying away from home?
01:15:16If she's so innocent, then why hasn't she come back to you?
01:15:19Before you say a word, Mark.
01:15:32Do whatever you want. If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it.
01:15:37Stella, Mark told me to handle this.
01:15:41You refused to sign the contract nicely, so this is your punishment!
01:15:50What now, Haley? Got anything to say?
01:15:54Or are you going to tell everyone that the recording is fake?
01:15:58What? You actually sent people to rape Stella?
01:16:01Haley, our plan was just to take some fake photos!
01:16:04That was it! I never agreed to something criminal!
01:16:07You're more ruthless than I ever imagined!
01:16:26Mark, please! It's not what it looks like! Nobody believes me!
01:16:30I believe my own ears, Haley. How could you?
01:16:34It was your mother! Jaiselyn told me to do it!
01:16:37What?! You dare lie about me?!
01:16:39It's the truth! You said Stella couldn't have kids!
01:16:41That she wasn't good enough for Mark!
01:16:44You wanted her gone! This was all your idea!
01:16:49Stop blaming me without proof! You've lost your mind!
01:16:54Mother, that sounds exactly like something you would say.
01:16:56Mark, she's trying to tear our family apart!
01:17:00Don't listen to her!
01:17:02Mr. Briggs, Ms. Russell has signed the contract.
01:17:05Did she ask for anything else?
01:17:06No, sir. She signed it easily.
01:17:09Just as I thought.
01:17:11Is there more?
01:17:13Mrs. Russell went to the Choria charity event by herself tonight.
01:17:17Was the Walsh family there?
01:17:19Yes. And there's been some drama.
01:17:21Ms. Russell played a recording.
01:17:23A recording? So she came prepared.
01:17:29Are you heading out, Mr. Briggs?
01:17:30She's our partner now.
01:17:32If something happens to her, it could affect our company.
01:17:35I'll take you there, sir.
01:17:45You've got some nerve, Hayley!
01:17:48You knew my son was married and still chased him!
01:17:52You hired thugs to kidnap Stella!
01:17:54Don't you dare pin that on me!
01:17:57You're the one who told me to do it!
01:17:58I was following your orders!
01:18:06Ms. Russell, I'm so sorry! This is all on me! Mark's mom tricked me, I swear!
01:18:16I never meant to hurt you!
01:18:18Whatever compensation you want, money, anything my family will pay, please just forgive me!
01:18:24Oh? And how much exactly were you planning to offer?
01:18:28Whatever you want, just name it! My family can afford it!
01:18:34Stella, why are you even entertaining this?
01:18:39Haley, not everything in life can be solved by throwing money at it.
01:18:44I don't want your money.
01:18:46I'm taking the evidence to the police.
01:18:50Let them handle it.
01:18:51The police?
01:18:52Oh, and by the way, all that effort you put in, it was a waste.
01:18:58Your guys failed.
01:19:03I just walked away with a few scratches.
01:19:08What?
01:19:10No!
01:19:12That can't be right, you're lying!
01:19:17Stella.
01:19:19Thank God.
01:19:21I was so worried, you're safe.
01:19:27Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?
01:19:30You make me sick.
01:19:32Stella?
01:19:33I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
01:19:35I'm not done with you.
01:19:37That patent your company has been using?
01:19:42You forced me into a deal and kept using my work after it expired.
01:19:46That's illegal.
01:19:48The contract.
01:19:50Haley gave me that contract.
01:19:51My new partners have already taken a hit because of your actions.
01:19:56Even if I wanted to spare you, they won't.
01:19:59Prepare for a huge payout.
01:20:02Oh, come on, Stella.
01:20:04Do you really think anyone will buy that story?
01:20:08Who would dare sue the Walsh group?
01:20:14You're just trying to play the sympathy card so Mark won't divorce you.
01:20:18What do you even have to offer him?
01:20:20I bring him foreign investors.
01:20:22Key partnerships.
01:20:25You have nothing!
01:20:28What have you ever done besides that one lucky patent?
01:20:32If Mark hadn't backed you, you'd be on the streets.
01:20:35He only used it because he felt sorry for you.
01:20:38Do you seriously think you're some brilliant inventor?
01:20:44You are utterly disgraceful, Stella.
01:20:48Am I?
01:20:49Or is it the woman who proudly acts as a mistress in public?
01:20:54Is this what passes for aristocratic grace in Autridi?
01:20:58Don't you dare!
01:20:59You and your worthless patent!
01:21:01My patent is the reason the Walsh group has had any success.
01:21:03Should we review the contracts?
01:21:05The ones that show you've never paid me the monthly fees you owe?
01:21:08You're lying!
01:21:09You have no contract!
01:21:11Go on, prove it!
01:21:12Where is your evidence?
01:21:12Yes, bring it out.
01:21:14I want to see who dares to challenge the Walsh family.
01:21:19I'm the one who signed her patent?
01:21:20Is there an issue with that?
01:21:26I signed the contract. Does anyone here have a problem with it?
01:21:29William, you?
01:21:31After years of working with the Walsh group, Ms. Russell hasn't received a single payment.
01:21:35Let me make this clear to everyone.
01:21:36I run a principled company.
01:21:38You will be paid every cent you are owed, Mrs. Russell.
01:21:41And my legal team will assist you in recovering everything you are entitled to.
01:21:46I'd never seen him look at me like that before.
01:21:48Was it real? Or was my mind just playing tricks on me?
01:21:57And who exactly do you think you are?
01:22:00Did Stella hire you to play along in this little act of hers?
01:22:02Saying you signed a contract doesn't make it real.
01:22:05What matters is proof, not who can talk the biggest game.
01:22:10It's been a while since I've come across such pure stupidity.
01:22:14It's almost entertaining.
01:22:15William Briggs.
01:22:16Heir to the Briggs family and Brissette.
01:22:19The MU project with the Achire Royal Family and the Hookwood Research Institute?
01:22:24All under my name.
01:22:26Is that enough to qualify for Mrs. Russell's patent?
01:22:30Stella, come here. You're still my wife.
01:22:33My husband is trying to save face. How pathetic.
01:22:36Oh? So you do remember she's your wife, Mr. Walsh? That's funny. I thought the woman beside you was your
01:22:42true match.
01:22:45Stella, I said, come here. Now!
01:22:49Mark, stop the act. I was serious when I said I wanted a divorce. You betrayed me first.
01:22:54Did you really think I would stay chained to you forever?
01:22:59Stella, I know you're upset. Let's just go home and talk.
01:23:04Whatever apology you want, I'll give it.
01:23:05You think an apology fixes this? You think I'm just making a scene?
01:23:10Mr. Briggs, thank you for recognizing my wife's talent. I'm so happy for her.
01:23:14Mr. Walsh, you should probably focus on calming your mistress.
01:23:18How dare you!
01:23:19And Ms. Russell's patent speaks for itself. It has nothing to do with you, so don't try to take credit.
01:23:25You're enjoying this, aren't you, Stella?
01:23:26I'm enjoying someone finally seeing through your performance.
01:23:40Get out of my way!
01:23:42No.
01:23:54We received a report of kidnapping and assault.
01:23:57Haley Smith, Mark Wald, and Jaiselyn Wald, please come with us.
01:24:00What? She really called the police? Mom, I don't want to go!
01:24:03Officer, this must be a mistake. You can't arrest my daughter over a simple accusation.
01:24:08We'll sort that out at the station, ma'am. Please don't interfere.
01:24:10Mom, do something! Call someone!
01:24:12I... I can't. My name means nothing here.
01:24:17Mrs. Smith, put your hands behind your back.
01:24:19You're coming with us.
01:24:23No! I didn't do anything wrong! Why are you taking me?
01:24:33Ma'am, if you're innocent, the truth will come out. Please cooperate.
01:24:36Mom, say something! Stella's lying to them!
01:24:38My daughter. They're putting you in handcuffs.
01:24:41Jaiselyn Wald?
01:24:42I don't know anything! I swear! I'll come with you! I'll tell you everything I know!
01:24:52Where are you going?
01:24:55Back to the research center.
01:24:57That's on my way. I'll drop you.
01:24:59There's no need, Mr. Briggs. I can manage.
01:25:02I helped you once, and now you're trying to keep your distance?
01:25:20Oh!
01:25:24I am so sorry, I...
01:25:28Stella...
01:25:30Sorry, I... I didn't mean to...
01:25:35Ah!
01:25:42Don't move.
01:25:54I'm so sorry, Mr. Briggs. The car turned, I lost my balance.
01:25:57I swear I have no improper intentions towards you whatsoever.
01:26:00I can see that.
01:26:01No, you don't believe me!
01:26:03If I have any improper thoughts about you, then may I get hit by a car the moment I step
01:26:06outside?
01:26:07There's no need for such a dramatic curse. I'm not blind. I saw what happened.
01:26:11Well, you were basically blind last time.
01:26:14Where did that come from?
01:26:21Mr. Briggs, I feel like you have a bias against me. It makes things really difficult whenever you're around.
01:26:28When have I ever made things difficult for you?
01:26:35Forget I said anything, just... pretend I was rambling.
01:26:41Ms. Russell, you took my measurements earlier.
01:26:45I... yes?
01:26:48So the suit should fit perfectly this time, right?
01:26:52This time? But you told me not to waste my time on trivial things.
01:26:58We've arrived at the Research Institute's dormitory, Ms. Russell. Please take care.
01:27:11Stella, you're back!
01:27:13How did it go? Is everything alright?
01:27:16It went well, Lainey.
01:27:17Thanks to you and that recorder, everyone know Haley framed me.
01:27:21Good! Those two snakes deserve everything that's coming to them.
01:27:24I hope they rot!
01:27:25Speaking of things coming to them, why didn't you tell me Mr. Briggs was behind the company I signed with?
01:27:30Wait, what are you talking about?
01:27:33The new contract. It's with a subsidiary of the Briggs Group.
01:27:36Oh my God! William, you're working with him? I swear I had no idea!
01:27:40I just knew they seemed professional and the offer was generous. I never would have guessed!
01:27:44It's okay, Lainey. It doesn't matter. As long as the partnership works.
01:27:47Works? Stella, it's more than working. You're all over the internet.
01:27:50Briggs Group is suing Mark for everything he's worth.
01:27:52They are?
01:27:53Yes! The compensation alone might bankrupt him.
01:27:55His partners are pulling out, investors are gone, the Walsh Group is finished!
01:28:02And Haley?
01:28:05Oh, she's not getting away.
01:28:07This has become a diplomatic issue.
01:28:09She's going to jail.
01:28:23Harvest is really very long.
01:28:23And many people are going to jail.
01:28:24They call out the panicarchs as to easy visits.
01:28:24We spell out what you're hoping for.
