Short filmTranscript
00:00Who are you?
00:27What do you think about the room I've prepared for you?
00:32How did you leave your room?
00:33What's wrong?
00:34You couldn't take your eyes off my portrait.
00:35Now you can't handle the real thing.
00:36Open your eyes, babe.
00:37You must not enter Brandon's bedroom or study.
01:02He has very little patience, and nobody is ever allowed in there.
01:06Is that clear?
01:07Understood.
01:08Is this the boss?
01:09Madame Lenny, is it true that he's never left the house?
01:10Like he's allergic to the sun or something?
01:11Follow me.
01:12You're in luck.
01:13I'm not.
01:14Brandon has allowed you to stay in a guest room in this area.
01:42You'll start working tomorrow.
01:43But meet me in the living room in two hours, and I'll give you the grand tour.
01:48What is it, Miss Hart?
01:50I was just wondering, has he really never left the house?
01:55This will be the last time you ever ask about that.
01:58Curiosity is not welcome in this house.
02:00Focus on your job.
02:02This is literally where princes live.
02:26Miss Hart, you're late.
02:27Late?
02:28But you told me to come up.
02:29Being early is on time, and being on time is late.
02:32Got it.
02:33I'll keep it in mind.
02:34Relax, Lenny.
02:35Don't be so hard on her.
02:37Mr. Katrakis.
02:38This is Elena Hart, the new personal chef.
02:41Elena, be sure to call him sir.
02:42No, it's okay.
02:43Hey, Elena.
02:44It's really nice to meet you.
02:45I'm Oliver Katrakis.
02:46Hello, Mr. Katrakis.
02:47I've read about you, actually.
02:48You're Chairman's Lucenza only representative, right?
02:49Yeah.
02:50I'm Brandon's cousin.
02:51I'm also his personal assistant.
02:52So please, come and take a seat.
03:07So your job is not going to be very complicated, but sometimes Brandon can be pretty...
03:14So just stick to the recipes, and no room for improvisation.
03:18Do this.
03:20So he's Greek.
03:22He loves traditional Greek dishes, but he's also open to trying other cuisines.
03:27So these are all the recipes that he loves, right?
03:29Those are all of his favorites, but you're going to have to learn more.
03:33Well, I'm up for the challenge.
03:35Good.
03:36Because right now, I have my plate full at the company.
03:38So I'm leaving Brandon in your capable hands.
03:41You can count on me.
03:44I promise.
03:46But I was just wondering...
03:49Why me?
03:50I mean, I'm not exactly experienced.
03:53That's not the point.
03:54He chose you personally.
03:55So you're going to be just fine.
03:56Will I get to meet him?
04:01I'm not for sure on that, but I think you will.
04:08What is he like?
04:21Why would he act so mysterious?
04:27Wow, that looks really good.
04:28What is that?
04:29We've got some epiola samos and some caganes for breakfast today.
04:35You should check out the reading room when you get a chance.
04:37There's like a ton of cookbooks in there.
04:39Really?
04:40Yeah.
04:41Well, that's incredible.
04:42But if you go up there, just stay on the third floor.
04:44Don't go upstairs.
04:49Careful with that.
05:07Is this all of hers?
05:10Sir, I've made this dipping sauce for you.
05:13It's one of my specialties.
05:15Hope you enjoy it.
05:16Helene.
05:24Miss Hart, Brandon really enjoyed the meal, but he would appreciate it if you didn't leave
05:29any little notes.
05:30But why?
05:31Didn't Mr. Katrakis ask you not to improvise?
05:34Yeah, but I did it because...
05:36Didn't he also ask me to keep learning?
05:47Happy to hear that you love this dish.
05:49But the extra spices are necessary.
06:04The food was delicious, Miss Hart, but I don't think a note is necessary every time.
06:23My God, did he really reply?
06:25His handwriting is so beautiful.
06:55You were right.
06:56Glass of champagne would indeed enhance its flavor.
06:59But weren't you told not to improvise?
07:03He did it anyway.
07:04You liked it, no?
07:06You seem really happy.
07:07What's up?
07:08Mr. Katrakis, it's been a while.
07:11I've heard about those notes.
07:13So that means you two must be getting along pretty well, right?
07:18I mean, I wanted to reach out somehow.
07:21Didn't really expect him to reply, but...
07:23Well, that's good news.
07:25You know, Lenny's always really busy around the house and I need someone to fill in for me
07:28that's reliable when I'm not here.
07:30Well, honored to help.
07:32And by the way, I've already watched The Jacket.
07:34Thank you so much.
07:35I'll give it back to you soon.
07:36Jacket?
07:37What jacket?
07:38What are you talking about?
07:40Never mind.
07:42It's okay.
07:43Carry on.
07:45So it was an Oliver.
07:46Could it be Brendan?
07:48Is that even his style?
07:50This is his room.
08:20Hey.
08:39Who is it?
08:45Were you clueless or just blatantly ignoring my instructions?
08:48I was lost.
08:50I'm sorry.
08:51I know this house is enormous, bigger than you could ever imagine.
08:54But what I cannot stand is you breaking the one rule in this house that actually matters.
09:00What did I do?
09:01I didn't...
09:02Brendan told me there was an intruder in his room.
09:06So that was him.
09:09Come with me.
09:11He wants to talk to the person who invaded his privacy.
09:15This may be the first time we ever fire someone within their first month.
09:20What do you mean fire me?
09:24Wait, I'm sorry.
09:25I didn't mean to break into his room.
09:32Is this an interrogation room?
09:41Pick it up and sit down.
09:45I said sit.
09:50Hello?
09:53Very good, Elena.
09:57How did you end up in my room?
10:00I just wanted to give back your jacket.
10:02I wanted to thank you.
10:13Are you aware that you've broken the one rule in this house?
10:17Are you aware that you've broken the number one rule of my house?
10:22I'm sorry.
10:23I didn't mean to.
10:24I swear, I didn't mean to.
10:27Honestly, I've even grown fond of your notes.
10:30And you've made mealtime more fun.
10:32What?
10:33Please, don't fire me.
10:35I swear it's never going to happen again.
10:39There's something I need that only you can provide.
10:43So, if you're willing to cooperate, then maybe I will give you another chance.
10:48Yeah, yeah.
10:49Anything.
10:51Good.
10:52Open the computer.
11:05Lucia?
11:06What do you want me to do?
11:07What do you want from her?
11:09Well, since you're asking, I assume that you remember her.
11:11What I want you to do is tell me where she is.
11:16I can't tell you that sort of information about Lucia.
11:18That's her privacy.
11:22Well, as far as I know, your mother has some pretty expensive medical bills.
11:26And they've increased recently.
11:29Have you been investigating me?
11:31Not exactly.
11:33But if you can provide some useful information, then I'll take care of the medical bills.
11:38And your debt.
11:39That's blackmail.
11:41Miss Hart, you broke into my room and watched me taking a shower.
11:46If that is not illegal, then I don't know what is.
11:50If you want an answer, you'll want to give me an explanation first.
11:54How are you two even related?
11:55Are you child she doesn't know about?
12:01Fair enough.
12:05She was close to my father.
12:09Fine. Let's make a deal.
12:13You're in no position to bargain.
12:14If you want to know about Lucia's whereabouts...
12:17Then I have my conditions.
12:19First, I get to stay here.
12:22And I want to sign a contract in person.
12:25Face to face. And that's a non-negotiable.
12:27Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
12:30Get the hell out of here!
12:39I don't know what you've done to our boss.
12:42But I'm utterly concerned.
12:44Nothing really.
12:46He needs something important.
12:48Something no one else in this world can give him.
12:51But me.
13:00You sure you want to go in there?
13:03These are my conditions.
13:05I have to follow through.
13:07Don't worry. I'll be waiting outside here for you.
13:22Do you have the contract with you?
13:24Yeah. And do you want to sign it in person?
13:28No need. Just leave it on the table.
13:31Brandon, what are you scared of?
13:32I'm a monster, Ella.
13:35And you won't want to see me.
13:37Monster?
13:39What are you talking about?
13:43Just forget about it, okay?
13:45Just get out of here.
13:48Just get out!
13:55I'm sorry.
13:57I'm sorry.
13:59I'm sorry.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:26Mr. Brandon.
14:28So handsome.
14:34You're actually the most good looking guy I've ever seen.
14:38Why are you wearing a mask?
14:40Before we sign this contract,
14:42I need to confirm again.
14:44How much do you know about Lucia's whereabouts?
14:47I know them all. She's a...
14:49Compile everything that you've got and send it to me.
15:00I hope you won't let me down.
15:04I won't.
15:06Hey guys. I was just thinking you must be really starving.
15:09So I whipped up a very special breakfast for you.
15:12Oliver, that's so sweet of you. Thank you.
15:15You're welcome. Enjoy.
15:22What do you think about Oliver?
15:24Oliver?
15:26He's pretty nice. He's always so patient.
15:29Everybody loves me.
15:35You're pretty nice too.
15:38Covering me with your jacket.
15:41Why do you care about me so much?
15:47Because of your daily meals.
15:56Did Brandon give you a hard time?
15:57No. He was just a little bit cold.
16:00I've been looking after him since he was a kid.
16:02He's been locking himself in his room and refusing to interact with anyone for over 10 years.
16:07Over 10 years? Why?
16:11He probably believes no one would ever accept him.
16:24Here we are.
16:29Is everything at the company taken care of?
16:31Yeah. I mean, that's why I'm home. To take care of you.
16:34Forget about it.
16:36Get yourself a copy of this new document.
16:38Sure.
16:40Wait. Have the new chef come up and introduce the dishes in person.
16:43Okay. Will do.
16:51Come in.
16:55You asked to see me?
16:57Anything wrong with the dinner?
16:59This dish, it was over seasoned. Use less salt next time.
17:02And this one, this was good, but the ingredients weren't fresh enough.
17:06So, next time use better suppliers.
17:08Got it. Anything else?
17:11That's it.
17:15Take that with me.
17:27Here's your breakfast.
17:33Anything else I can help you with?
17:36I was hoping to take the afternoon off and hit the spa to unwind a little bit.
17:41Yeah.
17:43You should go. You deserve it.
17:48And I won't bother you.
17:50Just ask Lenny to find you a chauffeur.
17:53Oh, it's alright. Oliver said he could take me.
17:55Oliver.
17:58Okay.
18:00Whatever you prefer.
18:03Would you like to come with me? I've never been to a place like this.
18:07No. Not really.
18:21Welcome, Madam.
18:23Oh, this is so luxurious.
18:25This is the finest spa in the town. Please follow me.
18:47Mom, are you feeling better?
18:49Much better. The doc has scheduled another surgery.
18:52How's everything at the new job?
18:54Hope the boss isn't giving you a hard time.
18:57No. Everything's fine.
18:59Remember not to burn yourself out. Take care of yourself.
19:03Don't worry, Mom.
19:20Dad, this looks incredible.
19:24I'm excited to try it out.
19:26You know, this Mexican restaurant has got to be one of my favorite spots.
19:30It just helps me relax every time I get off work.
19:32Dad, this looks incredible.
19:35That's actually their signature dish.
19:37If you really like it, we can always come back.
19:39Yeah.
19:44Wow.
19:46This the new recipe you've been working on?
19:48Yeah. What do you think?
19:50Not bad.
19:51I had it yesterday at the restaurant Oliver took me to.
19:54And I thought it might like it.
19:58Get out.
20:01Is something wrong with the dish?
20:03I'm not a fan of sharing. Get out.
20:07Now.
20:21What happened?
20:24I tried to recreate the dish we had last night at the restaurant so Brennan could try it too.
20:29But he said he doesn't like sharing.
20:34Something funny?
20:36It has nothing to do with sharing.
20:38He's jealous.
20:40Jealous? Why?
20:42Because you got him used to having someone around.
20:45And now he's trusting people again.
20:47And he doesn't want to lose that.
20:48That's why he becomes insecure when you take a liking to someone like me.
20:51Elena, I really admire you.
20:53And not just because of how well you perform your job.
20:56You make Brandon feel alive again.
20:59I know him very well.
21:01And I think you should get to know him more yourself as well.
21:18Didn't I tell you not to come in here?
21:21I wanted to talk to you.
21:23Ms. Hart, stop.
21:25Do I have to remind you not to fall for anyone?
21:28Why?
21:30This is a place of work.
21:32Not for romance.
21:34I know, but ever since I got here I've...
21:39I know.
21:41Just leave.
21:48You know, I just wish you would get out of the house and see the world
21:52instead of locking yourself away in here.
21:54Look, that's none of your business.
22:07Why would he do that?
22:09Hi, Elena.
22:11This is Dr. Cassius.
22:13He needs to know everything
22:15about your most recent interactions with Brandon.
22:17Interaction?
22:19I just had a small conversation with him.
22:21Ms. Hart, please calm down.
22:23I just need to know how Brandon is doing.
22:25Given his delicate health condition,
22:27we have to make sure he hasn't been triggered in any way.
22:30I'm sorry.
22:32I'm sorry.
22:34I'm sorry.
22:36I'm sorry.
22:37Triggered?
22:39Triggered.
22:41I didn't trigger him.
22:43I swear, I was just talking to him
22:45and then I touched his hand and then suddenly...
22:48Is he alright?
22:50Can I see him?
23:07What are you doing?
23:09I told you not to come in here.
23:11I'm not leaving until you tell me the real reason.
23:14Look,
23:16a man like me
23:18isn't worth your time.
23:20Wait.
23:22A man like me
23:24isn't worth your time.
23:26Wait.
23:45Wait.
23:47Get out.
23:49Just get out!
23:50Just get out!
23:52Brandon, what's wrong?
23:54Get out, now!
24:00Please, Brandon!
24:02Brandon, are you okay?
24:04Brandon, it's me. Open up.
24:06Brandon!
24:08Brandon, are you okay?
24:20Do you realize you almost killed him?
24:24I just gave him a kiss.
24:26A kiss?
24:28That may mean nothing to most people,
24:30but for Brandon,
24:32it could be deadly.
24:34How is it so serious?
24:36He previously suffered physical injuries
24:39that caused him serious mental disorders.
24:43His body rejects any intimate contact.
24:46It's like an instinct.
24:48It can cause mental disorders.
24:50Serious physical reactions.
24:52Oh, my God. What have I done?
24:54I'm not so sure about your feelings for him,
24:57but if you want to be with him,
24:59either you stay here forever
25:01and accept him the way he is
25:03or help him get better.
25:06Brandon.
25:08Enough, Cass.
25:10You don't need to share all that.
25:12You think he can keep going like this?
25:14That he's gonna wait?
25:16You can't tell me what to do.
25:18Just look at yourself.
25:20I don't know what's...
25:22Please, please don't argue.
25:24Don't argue.
25:34Elena?
25:36What's wrong? What's going on?
25:38You look exhausted.
25:41I wrote tons of notes
25:44and you didn't respond to any.
25:46Well, hey.
25:48How about we just go and have some fun tonight?
25:50Because I know that Brandon
25:52would not want to see you like this.
25:54Let's just go have some fun.
25:56Don't think about it too much.
25:58Okay. Let's do it.
26:00Let's do it. Let's go.
26:10So what exactly happened to Brandon?
26:12You know, I think maybe he should tell you himself.
26:15Do you think I'll get to see him again?
26:17I don't know. Just forget about it.
26:18Let's have a drink. Cheers.
26:20Fine.
26:29The hell is she doing out there this late at night?
26:31Easy, man. Easy.
26:33Oliver's taking care of Elena.
26:35He's taking her home now.
26:36Oh, yeah?
26:38How do you know he's not taking advantage of her right now?
26:40Stop overtaking.
26:42I'll go fight.
26:44Give me the key.
26:45No.
26:46Give me the damn key now.
26:48You want to go try to kill yourself?
26:51You can't even walk.
26:53They're downtown.
26:55I don't care if they're at the end of the earth.
27:03Make sure that you're not weighing over on your keyboards.
27:06I am.
27:08I am.
27:11I think I'm dreaming.
27:13I'm seeing Brandon.
27:15No, you're not dreaming.
27:17Since you're here, I'm going to leave Elena to you.
27:20You folks have a good night.
27:22Come with me.
27:33How did you leave the house?
27:35I thought you couldn't.
27:37Some people are worth making an exception for.
27:44No.
27:45No.
27:47It's too dangerous.
27:49How will I know if all my suffering was worth it if I don't even try?
28:03Hey.
28:04Don't worry, Elena.
28:06I was so scared.
28:08I might have hurt you.
28:10But you didn't.
28:12Come on.
28:13Let's go home.
28:22You know what this means, don't you?
28:24I do.
28:26Will you be my girlfriend?
28:28Yes.
28:43You're awake.
28:47Come with me.
28:55What is this place?
28:58This is my safe haven.
29:01After my family's tragedy, I became paranoid.
29:04Feeling I had to be in control to protect myself and those around me.
29:09So I built this shelter.
29:11Mostly so I could predict and analyze any potential threats.
29:17Brandon.
29:19You know what?
29:21I'm sick of living like that.
29:30Look, Elena.
29:32After we met, I realized I want to live a normal life.
29:36I want to be bound to my past.
29:38Reliable.
29:39These things to protect me.
29:43For sharing that with me.
29:45Thrilled to be part of your life.
29:47Really?
29:49Really.
29:59Hey.
30:01Congratulations on taking the step.
30:04Am I supposed to thank you?
30:06Do you really think I'm obliged?
30:07Do you really think I'm oblivious to how you feel about me?
30:11We grew up together, man.
30:13Come on.
30:14You should know who matters to me.
30:16I mean, I do admire Elena.
30:18But not the way you're thinking.
30:20Relax.
30:23Here's your follow-up treatment plan.
30:27Elena, I'm really happy for the two of you.
30:37Is this your mother?
30:39Yeah.
30:40That's the last photo I've taken of her before she died.
30:45Elena, I need to tell you something.
30:48Lucia, your Ph.D. advisor.
30:50She was my father's mistress.
30:53What?
30:58I'm sorry.
31:00I'm sorry.
31:02I'm sorry.
31:04I'm sorry.
31:06Lucia.
31:08She doesn't look like she would hurt anybody.
31:11I know it's hard to believe, but she's likely linked to my mother's death.
31:16Is this for real?
31:18I don't know.
31:20I'm still investigating, but after all, there was no evidence left at the scene.
31:24I just figured that you needed to know the truth.
31:28So that's why I'm here.
31:30Please, just don't blame me, okay?
31:33No.
31:34No.
31:36I'm just going to believe it.
31:42Oliver?
31:45Oliver, is this...
31:47This is Betty, my girlfriend.
31:50Since when did you have a girlfriend?
31:52Well, I mean, not necessarily.
31:53Everything needs to be run by you in advance with your permission, doesn't it?
31:56Get in the car.
31:57We might miss a flight.
32:02Is that your house?
32:04Yeah.
32:05That was my mother's place.
32:19Wow.
32:21This place is beautiful.
32:23Your mom must have loved it here.
32:25Yeah.
32:26Yeah, it's gorgeous.
32:29Got some bad memories from here?
32:31Want to share them with me?
32:33I watched my mother and sister brutally murdered right in front of my eyes.
32:40I was hiding under the stairs, and I saw them fall into a pool of blood.
32:45I couldn't do anything to help.
32:47Ever since that day, I haven't been able to face anyone, trust anyone.
32:53But having you here, it's shown me that I can face my past.
32:59And now I want to show you the real me.
33:01But Brendan, there's nothing for you to prove, okay?
33:06I know things have been hard for you, but please, don't push yourself that much, okay?
33:13And plus, I've already seen the real you.
33:16Courageous, kind-hearted person.
33:18So, Oliver is still paying off his school loans.
33:21Oh, really?
33:22Yeah.
33:23Wait a second.
33:27Hi, Betty.
33:28Hi, Alaina.
33:29I found a really cool place.
33:31Do you want to check it out?
33:33One second.
33:34Betty thinks you found a really cool place, and is wondering if you want to check it out together?
33:38Yeah.
33:40Okay.
33:41I'll be right there.
33:43Okay.
33:45Betty thinks you found a really cool place, and is wondering if you want to check it out together?
33:49What do you guys think?
33:50Hey, you know what?
33:51How about you gals go ahead?
33:53Brendan and I, we've got some work-related things to sort out.
33:56So, we'll just catch up later.
33:58Yeah.
34:00Yeah, you should go.
34:02Yeah, I'll join you.
34:04The boys will join you later, okay?
34:06Okay, see ya.
34:15What are you doing?
34:17I just don't want you to leave.
34:19I'll be back soon.
34:20Go get your work done.
34:25Betty's rushing me.
34:26I gotta go.
34:27See you later.
34:28Okay.
34:36So, what's your call on this?
34:41I agree to go through with the long-term treatment plan.
34:43You know what that means, right?
34:45You're not going to be seeing Elena for a really long time.
34:47I'm aware.
34:48And when exactly are you going to tell her?
34:51I don't know.
34:52I haven't figured it out.
34:53But just give me a few days, okay?
34:58Hey, have you guys seen my phone?
35:01I have been looking for it everywhere.
35:06Hey, have you guys seen my phone?
35:08I have been looking for it everywhere.
35:11Did you check in your room?
35:12No, I already checked it there.
35:14Wait a minute.
35:15Did you just text Elena?
35:16Text her what?
35:18Shit.
35:20Elena's in danger.
35:21We gotta find her.
35:23Let's go.
35:24Let's go.
35:30He seemed a bit off.
35:32Like he was hiding something.
35:36What's wrong?
35:37What is happening?
35:38Brandon has prepared something for you.
35:40Please hold on for a moment.
35:42Brandon.
35:43Come with me.
35:46What's going on?
35:47Just come with me.
35:49So you mean to say that the text wasn't from Betty?
35:52That's what she said.
35:53Apparently her phone went missing.
35:55So you're suspecting her.
35:57But she's Oliver's...
35:59I don't think she's as simple as she seems.
36:01But I don't want to sour their relationship.
36:04Oliver definitely has nothing to do with it.
36:12I never expected to be here with you.
36:15I want to show you something.
36:33Brandon.
36:37Now you know what I really look like.
36:40This is why I wear the mask.
36:43You don't have anything to hide, okay?
36:46To me, you've always been perfect.
37:10Brandon?
37:17Brandon?
37:28Come on, pick up.
37:31Elena?
37:33Finally you picked up.
37:34Where is Brandon?
37:35Can I see him?
37:36Now it's just really bad timing.
37:38Please, Oliver, please.
37:39I just need to see him once.
37:40I need to talk to him.
37:41Please.
37:42Okay, look.
37:43Fine.
37:44There's going to be a family gathering next week.
37:45He might show up.
37:46I'll take you there.
37:47But you'd better be prepared.
37:49Okay.
37:50Yes.
37:51Yes.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:56I'm sorry.
37:58I'm sorry.
37:59I'm sorry.
38:00I'm sorry.
38:01I'm sorry.
38:02I'm sorry.
38:03I'm sorry.
38:04I'm sorry.
38:05I'm sorry.
38:18Elena.
38:20Surprised to see you here.
38:21Mr. Cassius.
38:23Why are you here?
38:25By the way, have you seen Brandon?
38:27I've been looking for him everywhere and I can't really find him.
38:32Brandon!
38:35Brandon!
38:39Maybe he didn't see you.
39:05Are you really sure you're going to do this to her?
39:10Look, it's the best I can do right now.
39:13The best you can do?
39:15And you know exactly how much she cares about you.
39:17You're only going to hurt her by doing this.
39:19I can't be her burden.
39:21And she deserves so much more than to be tied down by a monster like me.
39:25Still always so stubborn.
39:27You know, I really hope that you don't regret this.
39:35Sorry, Elena.
39:38How could he treat me like that?
39:40Brandon is about to undergo his fourteenth surgery.
39:43Fourteen.
39:45He's actually doing much worse than you may think.
39:47Why wouldn't he tell me that?
39:49Why would he try to face all of this alone?
39:51But he doesn't want you to see him at his worst.
39:53He thinks it's pathetic.
39:55Well, I'm not giving up on him.
39:57Then give both yourself and Brandon a chance.
40:00I'm not giving up.
40:02I'm not giving up.
40:04Then give both yourself and him a chance.
40:07But first, you have to get stronger yourself.
40:17Cassius.
40:19Hi.
40:21Hi.
40:23So, what is it?
40:25Well, nothing in particular.
40:27But how are you doing?
40:29I'm pretty good.
40:31Is that all?
40:34Emily.
40:36What the hell are you doing here?
40:42Brandon.
40:44It's been a while.
40:46Can we talk?
40:48There's nothing to talk about.
40:51Fine.
40:53I'm not working at the house anymore.
41:01You crossed the line, Cassius.
41:02Elena deserves to know the truth, doesn't she?
41:05Yes, Brandon.
41:07If you keep on hiding, it's only going to make things more complicated.
41:10You guys just don't get it, do you?
41:12It's more complicated than you can ever imagine.
41:14Okay?
41:16The more that you know, the more dangerous it gets.
41:18So, you are fine with Elena misinterpreting everything?
41:22It's the only way to leave her alone.
41:23It's the only way to leave her alone.
41:27No.
41:32Hey.
41:33It's okay.
41:35It's okay.
41:45Please don't.
41:47I can't.
41:53Please don't blame me, Elena.
42:03Elena, you can't just leave like that.
42:05Oliver, thank you for being so kind,
42:07but Brandon and I have nothing left to talk about.
42:09That's not true.
42:11Please tell him.
42:12We're done.
42:13Listen, okay, Elena, just listen to me, all right?
42:15You can't leave.
42:17Our contract's not up yet.
42:19Contract?
42:20Did you forget?
42:22The one that you asked to sign.
42:24Brandon, you already have a fiancée.
42:26Why won't you just set me free?
42:28Either way, I've already made up my mind.
42:30I'm going home, and I'm taking care of my mom.
42:32I just said you can't leave.
42:34And why is that?
42:37You can just disappear without a word,
42:39but I can't even quit a job?
42:42Elena, please, just give me some time.
42:45You're just like a stranger to me now.
42:47You're the one who decided to give me a job.
42:49Elena, you're the one who decided to give up on us.
42:52Don't regret it.
42:58Hi, Cassis.
43:00Yeah, I'm here.
43:02Should I wait inside?
43:04Outside?
43:06Okay.
43:15Is that Brandon's fiancée?
43:17What is she doing here?
43:19They're doing this behind Brandon's back?
43:26Cassis!
43:28What? Did you see that?
43:30Yeah, I saw that.
43:32You're messing around with Brandon's fiancée?
43:34Wait, wait, wait.
43:36When did Brandon ever say that Emily is his fiancée?
43:39What do you mean?
43:41Come with me.
43:45Hey, future sister-in-law.
43:47Emily?
43:49She's Brandon's sister.
43:51Sister?
43:56My mom told me you were the best student she's ever had.
44:00Wait, so you're Lucia's daughter?
44:19No!
44:29So you're Brandon's little sweetheart, aren't you?
44:32Took me a while to hunt you down.
44:34I'm not.
44:36You're getting it wrong.
44:39Oh.
44:41Then why is he secretly taking care of you?
44:44He even sent people to watch over your mother.
44:47I'm telling you, you're getting it all wrong.
44:50He was just doing all that to spy on me.
44:52He wanted to know who killed his mother.
44:55Oh.
44:57So you know who did it?
44:59My professor.
45:01My professor, Lucia.
45:03She was his father's mistress.
45:05She's the one who killed his mother.
45:07It was her.
45:12You put on quite an entertaining show.
45:15Well, let's find out what's really happening.
45:18No!
45:25Hello, sir?
45:27I found this cell phone.
45:29And it looks pretty important.
45:37Bring me what you got in exchange, or I'll make you regret it!
45:41What do you want?
45:43Time's ticking.
45:45Show up in an hour, or I'll make you regret it!
45:54Better start praying he makes it on time.
46:02My mom was Brandon's father Pearl's girlfriend.
46:05Then why did they end up together?
46:08Wait. Brandon's parents came from two prestigious families with a tradition of arranged marriages.
46:13His parents married for the sake of the family.
46:16But it wasn't a happy marriage.
46:18Well, then what about Brandon's mother's death?
46:21It was his power-hungry uncle.
46:24He brutally murdered his whole family just to take over the fortune.
46:28And he even used my mother as a scapegoat.
46:31That is terrifying.
46:33So Brandon's been in danger all along?
46:37What are we going to do with the girl?
46:40Looks like time's up.
46:42He really doesn't care if you're dead, does he?
46:45I told you he was just using me!
46:47Please let me go!
46:49Hold her!
46:51Tight!
46:53Let her go!
47:00Let her go!
47:02Don't move!
47:04My favorite little nephew.
47:05You finally found me, huh?
47:15You okay?
47:18You okay?
47:22Let's get you out of here.
47:24Come on.
47:27Let's get you out of here.
47:29Let's get you out of here.
47:32Let's get you out of here.
47:33Let's get you out of here.
47:46Brandon?
47:58Elena.
48:00I'm back.
48:03Do you remember what you once told me, right here?
48:06I do.
48:08I remember every word.
48:11And I'm never leaving you again.
48:20I love you.
