You married some random cowboy?

What?

Okay, husband, so from now on, I pay you 10k a month for as long as we're married, and

it was a pleasure doing business with you.

This must be your new boy toy, huh?

Stay away from her.

This is where you live.

Uh, you know, thanks for the ride.

I'll catch you later.

I got married to all of my dreams.

She doesn't really know who I am yet.

Take care of the company while I'm gone.

Okay?

You work the hotels at night, and then here during the day.

Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.

If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.

You know, you two make the perfect couple.

After all, trash sticks with trash.

You need to file for divorce right now.

Sophie's taking over the company today.

Don't worry, I won't let her win.

$3 million.

$15 million?

$15 million.

I have $15 million.

Who the fuck is Justin Blake?

It's time I reveal my true identity.

What the heck happened last night?

♪ It's all of you and silence is the truth ♪

Oh God, did I really sleep with a cowboy?

You're just gonna leave without saying goodbye?

♪ It's all of you and silence is the truth ♪

Oh, I forgot to pay you.

Of course.

Two grand should cover it.

Goodbye, and I will see you

for the rest of my life.

Never.

Truth is, I met her once seven years ago.

I had just arrived in Paris for my foreign exchange program,

but I got my wallet and phone stolen on my first day here.

Ah, excuse me.

Who am I to do?

You speak English.

Um, please, I'm about to do that, John.

Take a picture.

Take a picture.

Take a picture.

American?

Yes.

You speak English?

Yeah, and let me guess,

your wallet and your phone were stolen.

How'd you know that?

I mean, it happens.

I was in your shoes not too long ago,

but this should be enough to get you a taxi

to wherever you wanna go.

Good luck.

Wait, I didn't get your name.

Oh, Sophie Swift, smile for the camera.

Oh, if your fiance finds out

about your little one-night stand,

think he'll still marry you?

You still think I'd marry

that lying, cheating, tiny dick man whore?

You know what, since you like to sleep with him,

why don't you marry him?

Well, I'm gonna show Derek and Daddy these photos.

See what they have to say.

Hey, psycho, what are you doing?

Oops.

Looks like you need a new phone.

Here, go buy one.

Now get out before I call security.

Oh my gosh.

Hey.

So you work at the hotels, huh?

Actually, this is just one of the many hotels.

Oh, my car is here.

Keep this.

You did really good last night.

One of the many hotels that I own.

This woman is always giving me money.

Wait, does she really think I'm a cowboy?

Maybe.

Hey boss, still on for golf with the Senator?

I've rescheduled.

Take me to the Maple Plaza sign.

I need to check on a few things.

Look into Sophie Swift for me. I need to know everything about her.

You got it, boss.

Well, if she's gonna sleep with some random male escort, I don't want to marry her anymore.

But Derek, if you don't marry Sophie, she can't inherit her late mother's company.

We talked about this.

You heard what Stella said. She saw Sophie with another man.

It's not my fault.

Daddy, don't be mad. You know how irresponsible Sophie is.

Sophie, where the hell are you?

Come home now.

Yeah, boss, what you need?

All right, so the first round of the state inspection is next week,

so we gotta make sure everything's good to go.

It's all under control, boss. We got it.

See, look, the trash over by the trash can needs to go in the trash can.

It can't be laying around on the ground, right?

My mistake, boss. I'll take care of it right away.

All right, let's go.

Speak in Spanish.

Where the hell are you?

Need to come home right now.

What do you want, dad?

I'm meeting with the construction site manager to go over some changes to the blueprint.

Your sister told me everything.

Have you no shame?

Derek wants to break off the engagement.

You need to come home and beg him to take you back if you want to save the company.

I don't want to marry him either.

He's there with you, isn't he?

Put me on speaker.

Hey, Derek, fuck you.

You turn 25 in three days.

How do you expect to inherit your mother's company if you don't get married?

It's clearly stated in the will.

You know what? I will marry anybody else but him.

Goodbye.

It's you.

It's you.

So you work the hotels at night and then here during the day.

Well, geez, don't overwork yourself.

I usually handle it just fine, but I'm especially tired after last night.

How many rounds?

Okay, stop it right there.

Anyway, what brings you here today, Ms. Swift?

You can call me Sophie.

And I'm supposed to meet the construction site manager,

but I'm late and I think that they've already left.

So I guess I can just call them later.

Oh, snap.

She's from the architecture firm that's partnered with us.

Justin, you must be exhausted from working two jobs.

Why don't you come work for me instead?

Huh?

I can double your current salary, whatever it is.

Where are we going?

What's the job?

City Hall.

And the job is to marry me.

What?

Okay, husband.

So from now on, I pay you 10k a month for as long as we're married.

And it was a pleasure doing business with you.

You got it, boss.

Or should I say wife?

Boss wife.

Let the show begin.

Nice of you to finally come home.

If I were you, I'd be begging Derek to take me back.

Derek probably doesn't even want to see her anymore.

That's why she came crawling back here.

That's funny coming from two homewreckers.

How dare you?

Tony, do you hear your daughter?

Rude rat.

I am not here to listen to you guys talk down on me.

I'm here to show you my marriage certificate.

And in about three days time, I will be taking over my late mother's architecture firm.

And you guys can't do anything about it.

Who the fuck is Justin Lake?

Justin Lake.

Her name sounds familiar.

I know I've heard that name before.

Wait, is that the guy from this morning?

You married some random cowboy?

What?

That's appalling.

Oh, not as appalling as you.

At least I didn't sleep with a married man and get pregnant.

Don't you dare talk to my mother that way.

You need to file for divorce right now or never set foot in this house again.

I'm okay with that.

I was just here to show you my certificate.

Holy fuck, Sophie.

You got married to a stranger.

Holy fuck, Sophie.

You got married to a stranger.

Yes, Kendall, you asked me three times already.

And like I said, fake marriage so that I can inherit my mother's company.

Yeah, still, marriage is a huge deal.

What am I supposed to do?

Marry Derek?

You're right.

Anyone is better than Derek.

Have no mercy for cheaters.

So, how did you meet this Justin Lake?

Two grand should cover it.

I'd rather not say that.

Okay, what does he do for a living?

Okay, I'd rather not answer that one either.

You gotta give me something.

Look, point being, I am paying him 10 grand a month to play my husband for a couple months.

Wait, you're paying him 10 grand?

And then we get divorced.

I'm your assistant.

Why is his salary higher than mine?

I want a raise.

A raise, okay.

I need you to look into someone for me.

His name?

Justin Lake.

Boss, what's happening?

You've been like this all morning.

I got married yesterday to the girl of my dreams.

Wait, the Paris girl?

Yep.

Wait, let me guess.

Sophie Swift?

Yep.

She's with Swift Architecture.

We're actually working with them on the Maple Plaza project.

Huh.

She doesn't really know who I am yet.

Huh?

And she's giving me 10 grand a month.

Isn't she cute?

Huh?

Hey.

Hey yourself.

All right, first day on the job.

I texted you an address.

Please meet me there.

You got it.

Wait.

I gotta go.

What do you mean you gotta go?

Wait, where?

She called.

I gotta go.

That's it.

Wait, what about our meetings today?

You gotta cancel it.

Your wife's more important.

Huh?

Looking good, Joey.

Welcome, Ms. Swift.

I have your address right here.

Actually, my husband is coming in a minute and he needs some decent suits.

And you're the only designer in LA that I trust.

Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, Ms. Swift.

But this is too last minute.

I am swamped by orders.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

Ms. Swift.

Now, how come you didn't tell me that your husband was...

...was, uh, such a handsome young man?

Justin Lake.

Yes, sir.

Actually, I don't know if I've ever been in a store like this.

Everything looks so expensive.

You really don't have to do this for me.

Well, you're my husband.

Of course I do.

But I'm happy to, so...

Can you get his measurements, please?

Oh, there's no need.

I mean...

Uh, I mean, um...

Well, I've been doing this for too long.

One look, and I have a rough number in mind.

Okay, well, see, then this is why we're here.

Joey's the expert of experts.

Well, I have some suits you'll look stunning in, Mr. Lake.

Please, follow me.

I'll wait for you out here, okay?

Okay.

These two racks are customized for you, Mr. Lake.

Grab a few options, and I can pretend to put them on.

Hmm.

It's not bad.

Okay, what kind of witchcraft is this?

Every suit fits you like a glove.

Trade secrets.

Oh, sorry.

No, that's... that's okay.

We're actually going to take all three suits.

Uh, well, actually, we're having an annual sale on now.

All the suits you chose are 30% off.

Really?

You never have sales.

Let me wrap these up for you.

Okay.

Promise I'll make enough money to pay you back.

You are my husband, okay?

You don't have to pay me back.

At least not with money.

Wow.

I've never had a woman take me shopping, buy me expensive clothes, and offer to take me home.

Lucky you.

You just won the jackpot.

There's no argument there.

Come on, dinner's on me.

Is this Sophie?

That really is you.

What do you want?

So Stella was right about you.

This must be your new boy toy, huh?

And you must be the cheating, lying, tiny dick man-whore, right?

You bitch, is that what you told him?

You bitch, is that what you told him?

You call my wife a bitch again, and I won't hesitate to break your nose.

You hear me, bitch?

Whatever, man.

Just chill the fuck out.

Now shoot, unless you want to get hit.

Whatever, arrogant prick.

Come on, I'm extra hungry now.

Okay.

Are you sure you want to pay for dinner?

This place is very expensive.

Look, you pay me 10 grand a month, I think I can comfortably afford this.

Don't worry about it.

Order whatever you'd like.

All right, don't blame me if I break your wallet.

Mr. Lake, why didn't you tell me you were coming in tonight?

Justin, is he talking to you?

Dennis.

My good buddy, Dennis.

Long time no see, how are you?

You know the GM here?

I, uh, yeah, from when I, uh, when I used to work here for, for work.

Right, hi Justin, from when you used to work here.

My brother, we really miss you around here.

What did you used to do here?

I would, uh, I'd bring clients.

Great, uh, so you wrap shared with the restaurant?

That's clever.

No wonder you brought me here.

Why didn't you just tell me?

So you ready to order?

Teddy bear?

Teddy bear?

Sophie bear, come here.

Hi.

Hey, when did you get back from Barcelona?

This morning.

Why didn't you call me to come get you from the airport?

I want to be a surprise.

Consider me surprised.

How did you even know I was here?

Dummy, come on.

You remember you share your location with my phone?

After what happened last time?

Come on, any more questions?

Okay, okay.

Oh, uh, Justin, meet Teddy, my best friend.

Justin, Ted.

That's a firm handshake you got there.

Am I interrupting anything?

Actually, we were just...

No, join us for dinner.

Great, let's do it.

Great.

So how is business in Barcelona?

Oh, fantastic.

We broke record sales three years in a row.

Revenue is up over half a billion now.

Congratulations, your father must be so proud.

Wow, half a billion.

What line of work are you in, Todd?

Ted, uh, it's construction.

We're one of the largest construction companies in Spain.

Yeah, my mom was an architect.

That's why we're family friends.

Well, profit margin in construction is pretty low.

So you're saying your revenue is 500 million.

That means you took down what, 300 million?

Even after taxes, that's...

Justin, stop being so rude.

No, no, it's fine, it's fine.

He's right.

We have a long way to go.

I'm certain we'll surpass late construction here in no time.

What about you, Justin?

What type of work are you in?

Shit, Justin must feel so embarrassed.

Oh, Justin works with me now.

He is my assistant architect.

That's nice.

Nice.

So I flew back from Barcelona to take care of some emergency family matters,

but I'll be here for a while this time.

Call me whenever we need to hang out.

Of course.

I haven't seen you in what, a year?

A long time.

We need to catch up?

Yeah.

Bye, Ted.

Bye.

Yeah, bye.

Bye.

That's your bestie, huh?

Well, we practically grew up together.

He is like my brother from another mother.

By the way, I know it got a little awkward

when Teddy started asking you about your line of business,

so I have another proposal.

Why don't you join my company?

Oh, fuck.

No shade to your previous profession.

I just think anyone making money with their hard work should be treated with respect.

Sophie, the thing is...

Oh, just come in for an interview.

Please.

I think a career change won't hurt you,

and it'll help our story.

And here is your bill, sir.

Just give me a time and a place, boss, and I'll be there.

Yay!

No need to be nervous.

No need to be nervous, okay?

We're just gonna chat a bit.

Sounds good to me.

So, do you have your resume on you?

I sure do.

I've done a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Nothing special.

Don't worry.

Sophie has already chosen you as her prince charming.

I'm pretty sure you've done something.

This is incredible.

You went to L-I-S-A-A in Paris?

That's correct.

You were the chief designer of the reconstruction of Shangri-La, Paris.

You got that right, too.

And you designed Philharmonie de Paris as well?

You're hired.

I just got hired at Swift Architecture.

I start today.

What?

Are you trying to blow up my eardrums?

But boss, what about late construction?

I'm gonna count on you to take care of the company while I'm gone, okay?

Goodbye.

Boss.

Boss!

Take care of what company?

Take care of what company?

Take care of Tommy, my pet goldfish.

Since I'll be working for you now and I'll be super busy,

a pet goldfish requires a lot of work.

Water changes and everything.

Okay.

Anyways, come on.

I'll give you a ride.

Where are we going?

Well, I don't want to overwork you on your first day.

Let me give you a ride home.

My home?

This is where you live.

Uh, yeah, thanks for the ride.

I'll catch you later.

You can head out now.

No worries.

Uh, go ahead.

You know, I forgot my key.

I'll wait for my roomie to get here.

You share this place with a roomie?

Four.

Four roomies.

No, no, no.

Uh, this won't do.

Wait.

Huh?

What brings us here today?

Well, we're looking at new houses, obviously.

I have my eye on the single family.

It's a little bit pricey though, about 30 million.

But the design of Lake Enterprise is stunning and the location could not be any better.

Lake Enterprise.

Let's go buy you a house.

Me?

Transportation around here is super convenient.

Subway is just around the corner.

Excellent school district.

And we have a new Maple Plaza opening next year.

What's your take on the neighborhood?

It's great.

Too many pamphlets on the site.

Yes, I'll be right back.

Okay.

If it isn't my loser sister and her loser husband.

Hey, sis.

House hunting so soon after getting married?

That's none of your business.

Well, Derek insists on buying me a house.

That's right, babe.

Whichever one you fancy, I'll buy it for you.

The Swift.

Here are the pamphlets you asked for.

I'll take whichever lot she's looking at.

Use this card.

Sorry, it's mine now.

I don't know.

I just have a feeling today is not a good day for you two.

What are you, a psychic?

This guy is delusional.

Hey, let me tell you how this is going to work out for you, compadre.

Sorry, sir.

Our card processing is down for maintenance.

What the fuck?

Do you take check?

Sorry, our system is down.

We won't be able to process any payments today.

Forget it.

Let's get out of here, then.

I guess we'll just have to come back.

Miss Swift, our servers are back online.

Already?

And we have a promotion today.

Uh, 50% off.

50% off.

50% off.

Deal.

Deal.

Oh my god.

You're kind of adorable when you're happy, huh?

15 million?

I could buy another one.

But how does he have the authority for that kind of promo?

You think he's some undercover billionaire?

What if he's Mr. Lake?

The CEO of Lake Enterprise?

He does look quite handsome, by the way.

Right?

I'm not handsome?

Daddy, Sophie took her boy toy to buy a house today.

And she had a huge argument with Derek.

She knows exactly how to rile me.

I bet Derek is pissed.

Well, what if I marry Derek?

What if I marry Derek and bring the families together?

Absolutely not.

Their engagement is already a scandal.

If you marry Derek, our entire family will be a joke.

If only Sophie were as obedient as you.

I have no idea what any of this shit means.

Derek.

Sophie's taking over the company today.

I have nothing.

Don't worry.

I won't let her win.

So, today marks the first day of me taking over my mother's company.

And I'm very eager to work with you all.

Your scandal with Derek has tarnished the company's image.

Indeed.

And the stock took another hit today.

How are you going to address that?

This discussion has nothing to do with my personal life.

But Derek has conspired with other firms against us.

This is all your fault.

I will take care of this.

And I can assure you that if I don't turn the company around in six months,

I will step down voluntarily.

Now, let's get back to work.

Patrick, Sophie needs help.

Um, what do you need me to do, boss?

I need you to sign a three-year exclusive deal with Swift Enterprise on my behalf.

Mr. and Mrs. Swift, I hear your company's been having some trouble.

Our stock's tanking.

It's driving me crazy.

It's all Sophie's fault.

Sophie and I had a tiny misunderstanding.

So she rushed into marriage to get back at me.

But if she begs me to take her back and apologizes to me, I won't mind marrying her.

You've always been a perfect match for Sophie.

Once Sophie and I are married, our companies can unite and we will be unstoppable.

Make Sophie divorce him and dump that freeloader for good.

I'll make sure Sophie marries you, Derek.

All right, I won't take up any more of your time.

Sophie, come home right away.

It's urgent.

What is your emergency?

Divorce that loser husband and marry Derek.

Now.

That's your emergency?

Your husband is a loser.

Our stocks are tanking.

Marry Derek and fix this shit.

First of all, don't call my husband a loser.

Second of all, your daughter is screwing Derek.

So if you think that I'm going to marry him, you're delusional.

And lastly, I will fix this.

Without the help of that fucking cheater or any of you leeches.

If you don't divorce that loser, don't ever come back.

You are no daughter of mine.

Fine, I won't.

You were a horrible husband to mother.

So it really doesn't surprise me of how shitty of a dad you are.

The three of you are family and I'm just your cash cow.

That ends today.

Do you want to have a drink with me?

Well, having a party, huh?

Sorry, I was just settling in.

I didn't know you were coming.

Yeah, I should probably settle in myself.

Wait, really?

Yeah, I just cut ties with my family.

So, cheers.

Want to talk about it?

What's there to talk about?

Sophie.

You don't have to be so formal.

You don't have to smile all the time.

It can be a shoulder to cry on too.

Oh, slow down.

Slow down.

No, you're lame.

Give me.

I think you've had enough.

Sophie.

Sophie.

Okay, let's get you some rest.

Come on.

Justin, oh my god.

Just in time.

I made you coffee.

What's up?

Lake Enterprise just called me and they want to sign a long-term contract with us.

This is everything that I needed.

So, I'm actually going to go meet them at Lake Enterprise right now.

Perfect.

I'll wait for you at the office.

No, no, no.

You're coming with me.

Okay, Justin.

Come this way with me.

So,

so

what's the fanciest restaurant you can think of?

Olive Garden.

And what are you doing here?

That's none of your concern.

Mr. Lake.

Mr. Lake is not available at the moment, but you can have a seat and wait for him, sir.

I know what you're up to.

Forget it.

Mr. Lake and I already struck up a deal.

Oh, you know Mr. Lake?

You know Mr. Lake?

Of course.

We're...

Well,

why should I tell you?

Oh, come on.

You can say it.

I don't want to.

Uh, Mr. Brown, this way, please.

I can't wait to work with you.

That makes two of us.

Bathroom.

Be right back.

Still waiting?

Um, Mr. Lake and I actually had a nice chat earlier.

Really?

And where is he now?

Uh, he went to grab a bite.

And he didn't invite you?

I'm not hungry.

Well, best of luck to you.

I did not expect this project to go so smoothly.

What do you want, Derek?

I know you got that contract, but trust me, I won't let you win forever.

Just you wait.

You know what you sound like?

A loser.

This was just hang up on me?

What do you want?

Oh, forget Derek.

Yeah, I don't want to talk about your ex.

Let's talk about us.

What's there to talk about?

No talking.

More doing.

You're really talented.

Why did you...

Maybe I shouldn't ask too much about his past?

Never mind.

Okay, so you want this portion elevated right here?

Yes.

Okay.

Sophie, you haven't been home lately.

Where have you been?

I thought you made it clear I'm no daughter of yours.

You're such a brat.

This the man you married?

Nice to see you again.

Save it.

Sophie, I'm going to tell you one last time.

Divorce him at once if you want to save the company.

Let me tell you one last time.

I am never, ever marrying Derek.

I would rather die than marry that asshole.

Come on, Justin.

Let's go.

And we just signed the contract with Lake Enterprise.

I can save the company without Derek.

You won't meet the fire safety protocols on the Maple Plaza project.

I made sure of that.

You're screwed.

Ah, you prick.

Beg me and I might consider letting you off.

I can help with that.

How?

Just wait and see.

Ah.

Hey, Ted.

I'm in trouble.

Hey.

Well, make yourself at home.

What happened?

Let me hear it.

Basically, Derek screwed me.

I couldn't meet the fire safety protocols.

All right.

Let me text my guy.

I got you.

Counting on you, Teddy Bear.

I got you, Sophie Bear.

Hello?

Hi, Ms. Swift.

It's Patrick Brown.

We sorted out the fire safety issue.

That's fantastic.

Thank you.

I'm sure our partnership will be a resounding success.

Absolutely.

Thank you, Teddy Bear.

The issue has been sorted.

Already?

I just texted my guy like two seconds ago.

I guess they work fast.

God, thank you.

I guess so.

Is that too quick a fix?

Is that a bad thing?

Hey, look.

I told you I could help you with the...

What the hell are you doing here?

What the hell are you doing here?

Well, I invited him.

He's been a huge help.

Could you maybe dress a little bit more appropriate when we have male guests over?

Guest?

He's my best friend.

We've known each other longer than me and you.

Anyway, I have good news.

The whole fire safety issue resolved.

I know.

You know?

Well, Ted fixed it just with one call and it's all sorted.

What?

I'm the one who fixed it.

Okay, hold on.

Now I'm totally confused.

Confused?

You're doing this on purpose.

Justin, why are you being so rude today?

What is his problem?

Patrick, why didn't you pick up on a call last night?

Look into Ted Bass for me.

There you are.

I've been looking for you.

What can I do for you, boss wife?

Well, you've been acting kind of strange since last night.

I just wanted to see if you were okay.

Sophie, the thing is...

Mrs. Green?

What's wrong?

Miss, your mother's emerald necklace.

It's been stolen.

I was cleaning your mother's old room today and I couldn't find it.

I couldn't find it anywhere.

What?

I'll be right there.

Okay.

I thought you weren't coming back here.

How did you get in?

Did you let her in?

This house was paid for by my mother.

I can return whenever I want.

Where is my mother's emerald necklace?

You mean my emerald necklace?

I told you not to touch her stuff.

Just give it to her, Karen.

I don't have it.

She must have lost it herself and come back to frame me.

Dad, you know the truth.

Mom's stuff was in her room.

I have never touched it once.

But I'm gonna ask one more time.

Where is my mother's necklace?

Fine.

I sold it at an auction.

If you want it, you can buy it back yourself.

Fuck you.

Sir, according to my investigation, Karen sold the emerald necklace last month.

It was the heirloom of Miss Sophie's late mother.

Seems like they haven't learned their lesson.

Let's head to the auction.

It's time I reveal my true identity.

I need for you to help me secure that necklace.

I'm gonna rub it in her face.

Anything for you, babe.

You can count on me.

Oh, Sophie!

You're here to bid on that emerald necklace, right?

Poor thing.

She's just wasting her time.

And look at you.

Got all dressed up.

Brought your little boy toy with you.

But in the end, you'll leave with nothing but tears.

You know, you two make the perfect couple.

After all, trash sticks with trash.

Indeed, trash does stick with trash.

Hmm.

Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of tonight's collection,

the exquisite emerald necklace.

This one-of-a-kind piece was designed by the renowned Madame Dussault.

I'm going to start the bidding at 1 million.

1.1 million.

2 million.

2 million.

Are there any other bids?

2 million going once.

Now he borrowed 3 million from Ted.

2.1 million.

3 million.

10 million.

10 million!

Any more bids?

10 million going once.

Are you out of your mind?

I got this.

10 million going twice.

10.1 million.

15 million.

15 million.

I have 15 million.

15 million going once.

15 million going twice.

15 million sold.

We don't have 15 million.

We're going to face legal repercussions if we can't pay that.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Hi, um, can we please retract our bid?

Hi, um, can we please retract our bid?

It's already paid.

By who?

Justin Lake.

That Justin Lake?

Yes, miss.

It's yours now.

Now smile.

Hold your head up high.

Let's make a bang on exit.

All set.

By the way, where did you get 15 million?

You didn't sell yourself, did you?

Should I be flattered?

Justin, just tell me.

Seriously.

Why don't you let me show you?

What is going on?

Do I really need to be blindfolded for this?

Moments away now.

You're not going to get it.

I'm not going to get it.

I'm not going to get it.

I'm not going to get it.

I'm not going to get it.

Okay, you're so dramatic.

Okay, take it off.

What is this?

Where are we?

Come with me.

I'll give you the tour.

Okay.

Welcome back, Mr. Lake.

Senorita.

Thank you.

Mr. Lake.

So you live here?

Here and a couple other places, depending on the season.

But this place is extra special.

I mean, the garden is gorgeous.

Dad and I designed it together.

And my man Al here has been with us for 30 years.

Wait, I spent 15 million buying your home and then gave it to you.

Oh, yeah.

Are you the Justin Lake?

Are you the Justin Lake?

That's right.

Why didn't you tell me?

I did, but you didn't want to believe me.

No, you could have told me formally.

Well, allow me to formally introduce myself.

God, stop.

When the heir to the Lake family reveals his true identity,

it tends to stir up drama and chaos.

I didn't want that.

So I decided to keep my identity a secret.

I hope you can forgive me.

My head is just spinning a little bit, so.

Let me fix that.

Um, you know what?

I want the house back.

I want the money back.

I want everything back.

Well, I'm your husband, so everything I have is yours.

Well, that's more like it.

What's that?

Let me show you.

Okay.

Did you paint this?

I painted it back in college,

and it was exhibited just once at my graduation ceremony.

Wait, why does this painting look so much like the one

Stella submitted for the Monet Award?

Oh, thank you for taking my phone.

Oh, um, it's Stella.

I need a minute, please.

Hey, Stella.

What's up?

Meet me at the cafe on third.

Perfect timing.

I was just about to call you anyways.

What do you want?

Why the rush?

Have a drink first.

What do you want?

Why the rush?

Have a drink first.

Go on.

You said you wanted to see me.

You first.

Yeah, I saw your submission for the Monet Prize.

Did you really paint it?

Of course I did.

What are you suggesting?

You're still lying, but I know the truth.

Got you, bitch.

Hey, hey, hey.

Sophie.

Sophie.

Sophie, baby, wake up.

Sophie.

Hey, hey, it's me.

It's me.

It's Ted.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Let's get you out of here.

Come on.

Can you walk?

Are you okay?

Can you see?

Can you open your eyes?

What happened?

Okay.

Let's go.

I'm not sure if I trusted too much, but my Swift is in trouble.

Check the headline news.

Can't be contained.

Sophie Swift was caught publicly intoxicated looking like a complete whore.

She was seen with an incredibly attractive man.

I sure hope her husband is on social media to see this.

What are you doing?

Are you out of your mind?

She's sleeping.

Let's talk outside.

You leave her alone.

That's my wife.

If you're even willing to entertain the rumor that she cheated on you,

then you don't deserve her at all.

Listen, I know you and Sophie were set up.

That's why we're still here talking.

What's your relationship with my wife?

She's my best friend.

I've known her a lot longer than you.

Your best friend.

Have you seen the news?

Her reputation is completely damaged because of you.

Look, I'll take care of it.

All right?

How?

Because from my point of view, the best thing you can do is stay away from her.

You're up.

Why are you sleeping here?

The doctor suggested you get some rest.

I thought it was all a dream.

You remember now.

Tell me what happened.

Where's Ted?

He left.

You were out cold all night.

Did you expect him to stay over?

I need to call him.

Oh, I'll put her on speaker.

Hey, Ted, it's Sophie.

Sophie, how are you feeling?

I've already dispelled the trending headline about us.

Trending headline?

Why are you talking to my wife?

Stop calling and sounding so husky.

Okay, first of all, I am the one that called him.

What are you, a little jealous?

First of all, I am the one that called him.

What are you, a little jealous?

No.

Tell me what happened.

Estella called me last night, and I just so happened to have something to ask her as well.

So I decided to meet her.

I just didn't think that she would spike my drink.

I'm calling the police, and I'm getting my PI on it, too.

Okay, stop, Justin.

No.

Why?

Because I don't want her to think that I'm cheating on her.

Stop, Justin.

No.

Why?

You got hurt, Sophie.

I know, but there's one more thing I need to find out from Estella.

It's about my mom's death, okay?

I never suspected that she died from suicide,

and I think her death has something to do with Estella and her mom.

Did the police determine your mother's death was suicide?

Yeah, and unless more evidence is brought forward,

the police, they're not going to reopen the investigation.

But don't worry.

I can handle this, okay?

I will help you.

Okay, but I need you to take care of yourself and get some rest, all right?

Thank you, everyone, for gathering here today to celebrate our friend,

the Monet Award winner 2024, Estella Swift.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is such an honor.

I did want to take a moment to congratulate my sister, Sophie Swift.

She also took part in this competition,

but if I'm not mistaken, you got third place, right?

And I'm the winner.

Well, come on, Sophie.

Today's my big day.

Have a drink with me.

Stop pretending, Estella.

You can't hide what you did to my mom,

but I can give you a chance to tell me the truth.

Everyone knows your mom killed herself.

How could it be related to me?

If you really think it was me, show me the evidence, then.

How dare you?

Justin.

Everything okay here, Estella?

Justin.

Everything okay here, Estella?

Yes.

I was just talking to my sister.

I just wanted to apologize for what happened at the coffee shop.

I received a business call and had to leave early that day.

I had no idea that Sophie would do such a thing

and such a scandalous act to make headline news.

I trust my wife.

And the clarification announcement has already gone out to all major media outlets.

I'd like to remind you that if anybody

wants to play dirty tricks behind our back,

you will get what's coming for you.

Now, for the artwork and the painting that you were awarded for,

by chance, was the inspiration drawn from

the University of Paris' graduation ceremony five years ago?

Mr. Lake, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Might I remind you who you're dealing with?

The artwork that you were awarded for?

It's mine.

The artwork that you were awarded for?

It's mine.

You copied it.

Also, I know it was you that set up my wife at the coffee shop.

I will not stop until I get justice.

Especially if it's her mother.

Do you understand?

Let's go enjoy the reception, everyone.

How about that artwork?

Justin, what did you say to Stella?

What? Is my wife jealous?

Quit messing around.

Okay, I heard that you mentioned the graduation exhibition

at the University of Paris five years ago.

I thought it was just a good opportunity to remind her

about a lesson she might have forgot after graduation.

And what's that?

Copycats don't have nine lives.

Justin.

What?

Justin.

What?

I don't know, I just... I see you differently now.

What happened?

Well, you are my wife.

Well, you are more handsome.

You know, sexy.

And adorable.

Adorable?

What about manly?

What about more masculine?

It's all about you, Sophie.

I just want to protect you.

You shouldn't put yourself in danger for me anymore.

I know that's why you met with her that day, right?

How did you know that?

Because you're my wife.

And I'd like to know everything about you.

It's my job to protect you.

I just want to keep you safe, okay?

Okay.

Kendall?

Sophie, wake up.

Mr. Cooper and your father were conspiring in the office this morning,

planning to remove you from your position.

You need to come back soon.

You need to get back soon.

What?

It's urgent.

You need to come back to the company so we can discuss the next step, Sophie.

You know what?

Send me everything that you've collected on Mr. Cooper,

and I'll be right there, okay?

Morning.

Oh, hi.

Coffee.

Two cream, one sugar, just like you like it.

Thank you.

I love it.

That's it?

Thank you.

Is there something you want to tell me?

Justin, I'm...

Sophie, whatever it is, just say it.

I'll deal with it.

I know, but I have to get changed, so I'm going to talk to you later, okay?

Okay.

Patrick, keep an eye on Swift Enterprise for me.

Let me know if anything happens.

Sophie, two things.

Good news or bad news first?

Give me the good news first.

So, I investigated Mr. Cooper, as you requested,

and out of his female subordinates, two were promoted and eight resigned voluntarily.

So, I did some digging.

I found out, through gossip, that he was engaged in sexual misconduct with female subordinates.

Well done.

He is such a dickwad tool.

Have you found any evidence?

That was the bad news I was going to tell you.

You know what? Contact those female subordinates and urge them to report to the police,

and provide them with any legal counsel, and cover all the fees.

Already did it.

Kendall, you are awesome.

Okay, let's go.

Wait, Sophie, one more thing.

That bitch Stella and her mother are here.

Things are progressing a little bit faster than we expected.

They're waiting in the conference room for us right now.

So, just in case, I prepared the documents you may need.

It's just funny.

They can't wait to kick me out.

Okay, time for a counterattack.

For the past two years, Swift Enterprises' financial statements have been a mess,

and our market share has rapidly declined.

Can someone explain the reason?

What's the meaning of this?

Are you trying to blame and oust your father and sister from this company?

Mr. Cooper, you are the vice president,

but I didn't think that you lacked even the most basic professional manners.

You always mix business with personal matters,

but what I just mentioned is a business matter.

You little bitch.

Now that you've become the CEO,

you dare to be so arrogant towards Mr. Cooper?

He's a veteran of the company.

I was just as assertive during my first board meeting, so what's the problem now?

Pardon me?

Who are you?

Do you own shares?

Who are you?

Do you own shares in the company?

Because if you don't, you don't belong here.

So leave.

Now.

You.

How dare you?

Mom, are you okay?

Security.

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

I can walk myself.

Sophie, how can you treat my mom like this?

This is a board meeting,

not a parent-teacher conference.

You did properly graduate high school, didn't you?

Very well.

Let's see how long you last here.

Oh, oops.

Wait.

You must have forgotten.

The board decides who's CEO.

Have a try then.

I formally propose the removal of Sophie as CEO of Swift Enterprises.

Agree.

I'm Sheriff Ballard Ryder.

I'm looking for Robert Cooper.

Sheriff, that's Robert Cooper.

Robert Cooper, you're under arrest on several sexual assault charges.

Stand up for me, buddy.

Come on.

Come on.

Stand up.

There you go.

You can use his arms.

Mistake, man.

What the hell was that?

It's a mistake.

It's a mistake.

Mr. Landon, Mr. Hayes, what did you say just now?

Right.

We can go on to the next topic then.

I've also found evidence of embezzlement within the company.

And if she can admit to it voluntarily, I will consider it as her surrendering to the authorities.

Stella, did you hear me?

Well, why are you asking me?

I've got nothing to do with this.

Don't pin this on me.

Kendall, get her out of here.

Okay.

Enough.

You're sick of this.

Enough.

Your sister's still young.

You're ruining her life.

You're being malicious.

All of you, out.

I still have nothing to say.

Drugging.

Embezzlement.

Either charge could land you in prison.

This is about your mom, isn't it?

I did not kill her.

It was not me.

Then who did it?

It was your mom, wasn't it?

She had something to do with this.

I'm going to count to three.

And if you don't speak, I'm going to take your case to the authorities.

Just give me some time.

I will get you the evidence.

Good.

I'll be waiting.

I'll find justice for you, Mom.

It's okay.

You can cry.

I'm a mom, Justin.

I know.

I know.

You had a big day.

You moving up?

Yeah.

It was a good day.

I finally did it.

And now I can make my mom proud.

You did.

Oh.

Yeah, I didn't hear anything.

I swear.

Totally normal.

Also, we should probably eat something.

I'm hungry.

Also, we should probably eat something, if you want.

I know a really good French restaurant, actually.

So...

Oh, that was fast.

All right, let's go.

What are we waiting for?

Why is no one else here?

Did you book the entire venue?

Yeah, I guess I did.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Um...

What?

What?

Justin, what is going on here?

Happy birthday, Sophie.

Thank you.

I don't celebrate my birthday, though.

I know.

It's because your birthday coincides with your mother's death, right?

Yes.

These flowers are for her.

These flowers are for her.

It happened 20 years ago, right?

I want her to know that you're not alone.

I will always be by your side.

I think she'd be happy in heaven knowing that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Justin.

Make a wish.

Make a wish.

Hey, Sophie.

It's Ted.

Hey, Ted.

Thank you, I am feeling better.

Yes, I'm actually not home right now.

I'm with Justin.

Okay.

Yeah, I understand.

Okay.

Bye.

Why so happy?

Nothing.

I'm just enjoying the evening.

Happy birthday, Sophie.

You made your choice.

Wake up.

Hey, wake up.

What?

What happened?

I have to tell you something important.

How important?

The mornings are usually a really good time for us to share some intimacy.

No.

No.

Aunt Susan is going to be here.

Aunt Susan?

Yeah, she's my mom's sister.

She's basically the only real family that I have.

She sounds lovely.

And?

Well, she's visiting.

But she doesn't know that I'm married.

Tell her when she arrives.

That's the thing.

Could you not reveal your true identity as a CEO of like Enterprise?

Why?

My Aunt Susan is angry at my father for how he treated my mother.

And so she doesn't think that marrying rich will work well.

Plus, she has heart issues and I don't want to stress her out.

So.

Gotcha.

I'll just be your stay-at-home husband.

All right.

You are going to love Aunt Susan.

She's amazing.

I'm so excited for you to meet her.

Oh!

Okay, she's here.

We can do this.

Do you remember what I told you?

Smile.

Yeah.

You got it, boss wife.

Okay.

Hi!

Hi, Susan!

I missed you!

Baby girl, I missed you so much, too.

I just got done touring Europe and came right over after getting off the bus.

Oh, my gosh.

Wait.

Who's this?

Hi, Aunt Susan.

I'm Justin.

But yes, I forgot introductions.

This is Justin, my husband.

What?

Husband?

Sophie, you got married?

Since when?

This is a big deal.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was busy with the company business and I wanted to surprise you.

This is a big surprise.

You have a good eye.

He's handsome.

And he looks like a nice guy.

Very, very nice guy.

Come on.

Take a seat.

So, Justin.

May I know what you do for a living?

Uh...

Uh...

I...

Um...

I'm sorry.

I just want to make sure you have enough time to spend with Sophie.

She grew up alone for most of her childhood.

Usually, I'm not that busy.

Actually, I'd like to spend more time with Sophie if possible.

Good.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

I'm going to go get some coffee.

Auntie, I actually have a business call.

So, I'm going to go.

But you guys chat.

Justin, I'm glad to see that you support Sophie in her career.

She's a workaholic.

And often forgets to take good care of herself.

She's very hardworking.

And actually a really brilliant businesswoman.

Are you accustomed to doing all of the laundry and cooking?

Uh...

Could you not reveal your true identity

as a CEO of an enterprise?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it's almost dinner time.

Do you normally make dinner for Sophie?

Yeah.

I'm great at making food.

Great. It's my lucky day.

I can't wait to try.

How about Sophie's favorite?

Pasta Alfredo.

Great. Yeah. Of course.

Oh my god, Justin.

What are you cooking in here?

It smells so good.

He's making pasta Alfredo for you.

Okay.

You need to add salt.

And you can't forget about that.

Okay. Salt.

You look a little unfamiliar with the kitchen.

I'm very familiar with this kitchen.

I'm in charge.

I got this. Okay?

That is...

That's sure.

Something wrong?

No. Um, I just...

I want to learn from Justin.

He never shares any of his recipes with me.

Justin, you shouldn't spoil Sophie so much.

As capable as she is,

she needs to learn some basic life skills.

Got it.

Auntie Susan, why don't you share

some of your travel stories with me?

Oh, I have plenty.

Where should I start?

Um, Linda.

Okay.

Wait.

What's this?

Justin Lake.

CEO of Lake Enterprises.

Wow.

Wait a minute.

Um, I'm sorry.

I'm the one that got this idea.

No, no, no.

I'm responsible. It's all my fault.

Really.

Sophie, I watched you grow up

without your mom.

And after she passed,

you rarely smiled.

But today, you're different.

You seem so much happier than before.

And I believe a big part of it

is because of this man.

Before, I didn't want you to marry a wealthy man

because the way your father

drove your mother out of the house

was a tragedy.

I know, Auntie, but Justin is nothing like my dad.

Well, I can see that

in the smile on your face

and the way he treats you.

He genuinely likes you.

I can see that he's going to bring you happiness.

Thank you, Auntie.

And Justin,

Sophia can be a bit stubborn at times,

but she's a big softy

inside.

You treat her well.

Auntie, I will love Sophia with all my heart.

Mom, that bitch Sophie is trying to reopen

the case on her mother's death.

That's been five years already.

She'll never find out.

But Justin Lake, the CEO of Lake Enterprises,

the most powerful and richest man in town,

is freaking helping her with the investigation.

Hmm.

We should strike first, then.

Yes, we should.

Yes, we should.

She's here.

Turn off the cameras and follow the plan.

Stop!

Stop!

Yeah?

Boss, Miss Sophie's been abducted.

Call my security detail

and call the police.

We need to rescue her.

Tell me the address now.

Bitch!

Sophie Swift.

You have nowhere to run.

No one will protect you now.

Sign it.

You won't get away with this.

No one's gonna know once you're dead.

Okay, I will sign it,

but you have to answer me one question.

Spit it out.

Why did you kill my mom?

Your mother's heart condition

relapsed one day.

I accidentally switched the medication.

Who knew she was going to die?

Oh, but you don't have to

worry about missing her too much

because I'm gonna send you to her

very soon.

Justin, no!

Justin, no!

Justin, no!

What's happening?

I didn't do anything!

Stop!

Justin, are you okay?

Stop!

Leave me alone!

Justin, you're bleeding.

Oh, my God.

Justin?

Justin, Patrick, please help me

take him to the hospital, please.

Justin, please stay awake,

Justin, please.

Oh, God.

Doctor said he'll be okay.

You should go home and get some rest, too.

Yeah, Karen and Stella

have been arrested. It's all over.

We can relax now.

No, I need to be here for him.

I'm not going anywhere.

You shouldn't be anywhere near him.

I'm sorry, who are you?

I'm Justin Lake's mother.

Oh, Mrs. Lake, hi, I'm Sophie Swift.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm sorry about Justin.

I normally don't interfere in my son's

personal affairs.

Not until I met you.

You're nothing but trouble.

What have I done to Justin?

There must be some misunderstanding.

Do not disturb my son's rest.

Let's talk somewhere more private.

Now.

Here.

Ten million dollars.

Leave my son.

Leave my son.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake,

but I'm not some sort of gold digger.

You may not be a gold digger,

but trouble certainly follows you

wherever you go.

I will never accept you into the Lake family.

Mrs. Lake, I don't need your money.

Please, I love Justin.

Love?

Oh, you stupid, stupid girl.

Fine.

You don't want money?

I have another offer.

One you cannot refuse.

I know your aunt Susan

has heart issues.

Only the top specialist in Paris

can cure her,

but he isn't taking any new patients.

He happens to be my dear friend.

I can help you

if you leave my son.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Lake,

but I'm not some sort of gold digger.

You may not be a gold digger,

but I have another offer.

One you cannot refuse.

I have another offer.

I can help you if you leave my son.

So who do you love more, Sophie?

Susan or Justin?

Kendall, what's wrong?

Aunt Susan fainted.

I just found out when I arrived at your house.

What? I'll be right there.

Don't move on, Susan, okay?

Okay, perfect.

Now, keep smiling, okay?

Ms. Swift,

Justin still doesn't want to sign the divorce papers.

It's been three years,

and he still keeps asking where you are.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

Justin, he still keeps asking where you are.

Are you sure you want to avoid him for the rest of your life?

Relax.

He's not going to find us.

His mom already sent me up somewhere else.

He's never going to track me.

Besides, there's no chance between us.

It's just a pipe dream.

Fine.

Take care of yourself and Auntie Susan.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

Bye.

Is this yours?

Is this yours?

Are you ignoring me,

or planning your escape again,

wife?

How did you...

What about your mom?

Well, it's taken three years,

but I finally convinced her.

I told her that if I couldn't be with you,

I wouldn't be with anybody else.

I won't let anything come between us again.

Do you remember?

This is where we first met years ago.

Years ago.

I believe you offered an American man

some money.

He was just robbed and...

verbally assaulted

by a French man.

It's you.

It's me, your dearest husband.

That's my girl.
