00:00Mm-hmm.
00:02Mm-hmm.
00:03Mm-hmm.
00:03Mm-hmm.
00:04Mm-hmm.
00:04Mm-hmm.
00:16She's out like a light.
00:17She went through a lot today.
00:19You know, Nora, I want to thank you.
00:22I'm not truly sure I can manage Ella on my own.
00:27I'll mention it.
00:29I heard that Chase is already partnering up with Dominic Marchetti.
00:32What's your plan?
00:34Well, I have two things to tackle first.
00:37What are they?
00:39First, my case.
00:42One year ago, Chase and Marina framed me for murder
00:45and stole the company that I've built from the ground floor.
00:48I have to uncover the truth,
00:50put Chase and Marina behind bars,
00:53and take back my rightful seat.
00:55Well, it was already yours to begin with.
00:58In a second.
01:02I honored Grayson's dying wish.
01:04Before I left prison, Grayson asked me to avenge him by...
01:08taking out his enemy, Dominic Marchetti.
01:13His own son did this to him?
01:15Dominic Marchetti killed his younger brother to seize the family fortune,
01:19and then put his own father behind bars.
01:22And now he's joined forces with Chase to come after me.
01:27I'm settling both debts.
01:31Who could be here this late?
01:34That would be the cavalry.
01:37God...
01:39Mr. Reed, Mr. Marchetti told me you needed me.
01:42I came here right away.
01:43Do you know why I asked you to come here?
01:45The murder case from last year, but there's something that I should mention.
01:50Spit it out.
01:50That case wasn't mine.
01:52I was only deputy chief back then, so I don't know all the details.
01:55It's irrelevant.
01:56All I need to know is the truth.
01:58I don't care how you get it.
02:00But you have three days to prove that I was framed.
02:05I'll give you a lead.
02:07Look into Chase Mercer.
02:08Three days?
02:10Yes.
02:11Three days.
02:13If you fail...
02:16Well, you know what I'm capable of.
02:18Chief Smith.
02:19Three days?
02:20That's impossible.
02:21The trail went dead a year ago.
02:22That's barely enough time.
02:24I'm not trying to be difficult.
02:26But in three days, Reed Corp is holding its board election.
02:30I will clear my name and reclaim my company on that exact date.
02:36Are we clear?
02:37You heard the godfather.
02:39Three days.
02:40You find the real killer, you collect the evidence.
02:43It's non-negotiable.
02:44Rest assured, Mr. Reed, I won't sleep until it's done.
02:47In three days, I'll find the killer, procure the evidence, and clear your name.
02:52Then why are you still standing here?
02:57Mr. Reed, I'll have my people assist with the police.
03:04Nora, I haven't forgotten our agreement.
03:07You helped me with Ella and...
03:08Well, as soon as I get this company back, I'm gonna help you.
03:14Well, I'll hold you to that, godfather.
03:17Can't wait to watch you take it all back.
03:26Hey, Nora, look.
03:28I'm also helping.
03:29Do you think he'll like it?
03:31Of course he will.
03:32You know, he might even get you a special treat for being such a good little helper.
03:35Good morning, ladies.
03:37Wow, look what we have here, honey.
03:40You shouldn't have.
03:43I could have made breakfast.
03:44You'd miss out on seeing Ella be this happy?
03:46Or miss out on seeing you sit down and eat an actual meal?
03:49Go away.
03:51Daddy and Nora are just like the mommy and daddy in my book.
03:55Oh.
03:56What books are you reading?
03:59Can I get a four?
04:01Yes.
04:01Here's some salt and pepper.
04:12There they are, Mr. Mercer, Miss Boss.
04:16We've been waiting for you.
04:17And I've been waiting for far too long.
04:20I trust that you already have a CEO candidate in mind.
04:24Mr. Mercer, let's be honest.
04:26This meeting is just a formality.
04:28It's a unanimous vote for you as the new Read Corp CEO.
04:33Stop.
04:34Under your leadership, the companies flourish.
04:37You're the right man for the job.
04:38No question.
04:40You are all far too kind.
04:42But we still got to go by the books now.
04:44But if I'm elected, I will give you everything I've got as the Read Corp CEO.
04:56Who says you're the new CEO?
04:59Who says you're the new CEO?
05:09Well, well, well.
05:11Who do we have here?
05:13I thought that it was gonna be some VIP.
05:15But no, it's just our disgraced former CEO.
05:23Fresh out of prison.
05:24Silas, shouldn't you be on house arrest and parole?
05:28I don't know what you criminals do.
05:30What could you possibly be doing here at Read Corp?
05:34We're voting today, right?
05:37I'm putting my name down for CEO.
05:44That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
05:47A convicted murderer running for CEO.
05:50You don't even deserve to stand there.
05:52Get lost.
05:53Quit wasting everyone's time.
05:55Or we will make you leave.
05:58I may have stepped down as CEO while I went to prison.
06:02But let me remind everyone that I still hold 15% of the company's original shares.
06:09And for the record, I didn't murder anyone.
06:12I was framed.
06:14You are a murderer.
06:16How dare you stand there and alive?
06:18You have no right to even be in this building.
06:21You can't stop me.
06:27Easy, babe.
06:28Chase, he crashed our engagement party.
06:32And now, he is trying to ruin our election.
06:35Why are you just letting him walk in there?
06:38Well, think about it.
06:39The board is filled with our people, right?
06:42So even if he runs, there's no way he gets a single vote.
06:45So why don't we let him walk in there, embarrass himself in front of everyone?
06:50Seems like the sweetest revenge if you ask me.
06:54Yes.
06:55Yes.
06:56Then, he will taste real humiliation.
07:00Well, if Mr. Reid wants in, I say we let him.
07:02We'll see how many votes a former CEO can get.
07:05Hmm.
07:18The board election for the new CEO of ReidCorp is now in session.
07:23The process has two stages.
07:25First, nominations.
07:27Second, voting.
07:28During nominations, any member may put forward a candidate.
07:31And for voting, all members except the candidates may drop in a ballot.
07:36A simple majority wins, and the winner will be immediately installed as the new CEO of ReidCorp.
07:46Looks like Chase has made it pretty clear.
07:50Nominations are open.
07:52Let's begin.
07:54We nominate Mr. Mercer.
07:56Under his leadership, performance has improved by over 50% in the last year.
08:01I second Mr. Mercer.
08:03He has the vision to expand our market reach.
08:06I also nominate Mr. Mercer.
08:09No one else is more qualified to lead our company.
08:13Wow.
08:14I mean, I am truly honored, and I will not let you down.
08:18But, we gotta play by the rules here.
08:20Do we have any other nominations?
08:23Anyone.
08:24Anyone at all.
08:26That's strange.
08:27No one is willing to nominate the former CEO.
08:34Well, per ReidCorp rules, if Mr. Mercer is the sole nominee, then he is automatically appointed as the new CEO
08:44of ReidCorp.
08:45Congratulations, Mr. Mercer.
08:46Hold on.
08:49Who says he's the sole nominee?
08:54And who, pray tell, would you nominate?
09:01Myself.
09:08Must be joking.
09:12Really?
09:13Nominating yourself?
09:14Man, Silas, you really have no shame, do you?
09:16You're wasting everyone's time.
09:19You didn't receive a single nomination.
09:22You're an ex-con.
09:24I'll admit, self-nomination is unprecedented here at ReidCorp, but there is nothing in the bylaws that forbids it.
09:33Well, so what?
09:34Even if they do let you run, it doesn't change a thing.
09:37You won't get a single vote.
09:39All right.
09:40Well, if we're gonna go along with this charade, then we have two nominees, Mr. Mercer and Mr. Reid.
09:47We now proceed to the vote.
09:50Voting rules are thus.
09:52Each member who is not nominated gets one vote.
09:56Raise your hand if you feel that Mr. Mercer should be the next CEO of ReidCorp.
10:03Do it now.
10:05Pathetic.
10:06Not a single vote.
10:08Anything else you want to say, Silas?
10:11The vote isn't over yet, is it?
10:14I guess raise your hand if you feel that Mr. Reid should be the next CEO of ReidCorp.
10:25Well.
10:26The results are unanimous.
10:29Mr. Reid, you received zero votes.
10:32By the power vested in me, I now name Mr. Mercer as the new CEO of ReidCorp.
10:38Congratulations, Mr. Mercer.
10:43Not so fast.
10:45Okay, guy.
10:46You clearly lost by a landslide.
10:49Why don't you stop embarrassing this?
10:52ReidCorp wasn't built in a day.
10:54I'm not gonna stand by and watch everything I worked my life for be destroyed.
