Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I never thought my ex-fiancé would be my boss, and now I have to report to him directly.
00:00:30Hello? Daniel? Daniel, are you out?
00:00:45Hey, Emily! Come up here, I need your help!
00:00:49Daniel!
00:01:00Uh, I'm sorry, I should...
00:01:05Wait!
00:01:07Uh, Daniel, please, cover yourself!
00:01:12What, are you embarrassed? There's nothing you haven't seen before?
00:01:15If you're all set, then, um, I should, I should go.
00:01:20Stop.
00:01:24You do know you're here to be my assistant, right?
00:01:28Well, if there's anything work-related, just let me know.
00:01:35Here, take the coat.
00:01:38We're by the door.
00:01:40We're going to go meet some friends at a bar.
00:01:43I'm not gonna be Daniel Oster's assistant!
00:01:47Have you forgotten so easily?
00:01:53Just imagine the look on that loser ex's face of yours when he receives the massive debt collection notices.
00:01:58And not to mention the quartz hunters.
00:02:00Daniel!
00:02:01Hey, Daniel!
00:02:02Come on, you're late.
00:02:03Hey, beauty!
00:02:04Um, do I have the order of your drink, please?
00:02:06Actually, uh, she's not really that much of a drinker.
00:02:21Daniel!
00:02:22You know there's a penalty for being late.
00:02:23Huh?
00:02:24Pick a female in the room, and try to kiss her.
00:02:27Your choice.
00:02:28Kiss her!
00:02:29Kiss her!
00:02:30Kiss her!
00:02:31Kiss her!
00:02:32Sorry, they can be kind of relentless.
00:02:45Might as well get it alive.
00:02:47I'll drink for punishment.
00:02:57What are you doing?
00:03:02You know, if you can't handle it, maybe you shouldn't drink.
00:03:11Is kissing me really that difficult?
00:03:14It's just a game.
00:03:18Just a game?
00:03:19I can't treat it that way.
00:03:20I've always loved you, Daniel.
00:03:22Don't joke like that.
00:03:24I won't betray my husband.
00:03:27Your husband.
00:03:28I guess I should just wish you guys a lifetime of happiness, huh?
00:03:32I should go.
00:03:36How could you be so heartless?
00:03:38Are you all ready?
00:03:44God, you've always been such a lightweight.
00:03:46You really need to take better care of yourself.
00:03:49Come on.
00:03:50I'll take you home.
00:03:51I'll go get you something for the hangover.
00:04:00I'll go get you something for the hangover.
00:04:02James.
00:04:19That collaboration you were talking to me about.
00:04:22Why don't you come over so we can discuss it further?
00:04:25I brought you this.
00:04:26Are you even drunk?
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:28I'm drunk.
00:04:29I'm love.
00:04:30And you're the only cure I need.
00:04:31We shouldn't be doing this.
00:04:32We shouldn't be doing this.
00:04:34My eyes are here.
00:04:35My eyes are here.
00:04:36I can hit me with this.
00:04:37I can hit me with this.
00:04:38Hey, don't be here.
00:04:39I can hit me with this.
00:04:40You can hit me with this.
00:04:41I'm not.
00:04:42I'm not.
00:04:43I'm not.
00:04:44I'm not.
00:04:45I'm not.
00:04:46I'm not.
00:04:47I'm not.
00:04:48I'm not.
00:04:49I'm not.
00:04:50We shouldn't be doing this.
00:05:01My eyes are here.
00:05:07Daniel, you up here?
00:05:13Daniel, you up here?
00:05:15James, what is he doing here?
00:05:24What's wrong? You look rattled.
00:05:27Are you worried about how you're going to explain this to your husband?
00:05:30I need to go. If James catches us, it's over.
00:05:35Keep him around. Take him to the curb.
00:05:39You know I can give you whatever you want better than he ever could.
00:05:45Daniel, I'm coming.
00:05:57Oh, sorry. Keep going.
00:06:01What do you want?
00:06:06I want to feel your heart raise. Only for me.
00:06:09Daniel, please.
00:06:19What am I doing?
00:06:21What kind of guy would invite me over while he's with a woman?
00:06:26Why are you here?
00:06:27Why are you here?
00:06:28Why are you here?
00:06:29Wait. You're not thinking of...
00:06:31Please don't tell me you ran out to avoid seeing Daniel with someone else.
00:06:35You need to take this seriously. Keeping Daniel happy is our top priority.
00:06:40Yes, James.
00:06:41Yes, James. Sorry about earlier.
00:06:45Listen, I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:06:48I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:06:49I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:06:58Everything is set, Mr. Oster.
00:06:59Your sweetheart is going to be so touching.
00:07:00I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:07:01I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:07:02I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:07:03I need you to set up a candlelit dinner as a surprise for my girl.
00:07:24Everything is set, Mr. Oster.
00:07:26Your sweetheart is going to be so touched by all of this.
00:07:29Can I ask which lovely lady you're waiting for?
00:07:35It's over between us! Look, he gave me a ring!
00:07:40You'll know when she arrives.
00:07:45I'll, uh, go check on the food.
00:08:07Looks like he really cares about this date.
00:08:19You're just gonna stand there?
00:08:21Here's the file you needed.
00:08:23See you tomorrow.
00:08:25What are you doing?
00:08:30What's wrong? Are you jealous?
00:08:33Jealous it might be.
00:08:35Of course not. Why would I be jealous?
00:08:38I hope you have a great date.
00:08:40We can't do this.
00:08:44We can't do this.
00:08:46Why not?
00:08:47You'll regret this, Emily.
00:09:03Emily!
00:09:04I swear you will regret this! Emily!
00:09:09I'm married. And you have a date.
00:09:20So what?
00:09:21So we should only have a boss-employee relationship.
00:09:24Please, just don't toy with me like this anymore.
00:09:28I didn't start that kiss.
00:09:30I need to control my feelings for Daniel.
00:09:34Otherwise, it'll only make things more complicated.
00:09:37It was just a slip-up.
00:09:39Daniel, we're done.
00:09:42Emily, if you could choose again, would you pick James or me?
00:09:49The treatment alone without proper insurance can cost over a million dollars.
00:09:53The surgery is critical for Daniel's survivor.
00:09:58James, please. I swear I will pay you back.
00:10:01It's a special marriage contract.
00:10:03There's no divorce clause.
00:10:05That means you would marry me and can never leave me.
00:10:08I never thought about picking James.
00:10:11But do I really have a choice?
00:10:13If you pick me, this contract could be your compensation to James.
00:10:16It's what he's always wanted.
00:10:18Who do you think I am?
00:10:21Just something to trade or a tool for your pleasure?
00:10:25You clearly have a lover, and yet you want to treat me like this?
00:10:28Is this how you're getting back at me?
00:10:30You didn't answer me.
00:10:32Me.
00:10:33Why?
00:10:34Emily!
00:10:39What are you doing here?
00:10:44I just came to drop off some files.
00:10:50If I did anything wrong, I'm really sorry.
00:11:01Emily!
00:11:05Any updates on our partnership?
00:11:07I think I should resign.
00:11:08What's going on between you two?
00:11:10Are you hiding something from me?
00:11:13No.
00:11:14It's just the work pressure.
00:11:16Stop talking nonsense.
00:11:17Just make sure you serve him well.
00:11:19You're the one that wants to work with him, not me.
00:11:24Don't forget who helped you when you were struggling.
00:11:26Your mother's still in the hospital waiting for treatment money.
00:11:28And I'm not giving you another dime.
00:11:30Right.
00:11:31Mom still needs money for her medical bills.
00:11:34I need to earn it.
00:11:38Baby.
00:11:40I'm sorry.
00:11:41I got a little carried away.
00:11:44The pressure at work has been...
00:11:46intense.
00:11:47You understand?
00:11:48Right?
00:11:50I love you.
00:11:51I don't want you to be Daniel's assistant either.
00:11:53But we need to make this work for our future.
00:11:55I'll stay on as his assistant, but it's for my own sake.
00:12:01Okay.
00:12:05Whatever you say.
00:12:07Just hurry back.
00:12:08He's still inside.
00:12:15Emily is not a good guy.
00:12:17Why can't you see that?
00:12:26You're bleeding.
00:12:29What happened?
00:12:32Wait here, I...
00:12:34I'll go get the first aid kit.
00:12:49So you actually care that I'm hurt?
00:12:51Of course I do.
00:12:56Just...
00:12:58Try to keep it dry for the next few days.
00:13:00You might get infected.
00:13:04Tell me you don't feel this.
00:13:07Right now.
00:13:09I'll leave you alone.
00:13:13I...
00:13:18This isn't right.
00:13:20Being with someone you don't love, that's what isn't right.
00:13:22So I should just be with the boss that likes to flirt with me?
00:13:27Why patch me up at all?
00:13:29I'm your assistant.
00:13:30It's just my job.
00:13:32You're more than my assistant.
00:13:33The way you act, how you look at me, it's like...
00:13:36Sorry, I'm...
00:13:37I'm loyal to my marriage and my husband is still out there.
00:13:41When you left me, you were cold as ice.
00:13:43You were willing to sacrifice our love.
00:13:44How is being with James any different?
00:13:46Enough!
00:13:48Stop.
00:13:50Please.
00:13:58Mr. Oster, isn't your sweetheart supposed to be here by now?
00:14:02She already left.
00:14:04What? I didn't see her outside.
00:14:06She was unhappy with our arrangements and has turned me down several times.
00:14:16What?
00:14:17What kind of woman would turn down someone like you?
00:14:19Just force her to be with you?
00:14:21Is that how you ended up with Emily?
00:14:23Actually, we're together because of her ex-boyfriend.
00:14:25What does her ex have to do with this?
00:14:37Sorry I'm late.
00:14:38Hey, darling.
00:14:39I've been too busy to take you out this week.
00:14:40Let's change that tonight.
00:14:41We'll talk later.
00:14:42I'll wear your favorite unicorn.
00:14:43Emily.
00:14:44You really should see his true colors.
00:14:45The marriage you're trying to protect is a joke.
00:14:47This is the house special.
00:14:48The same one Vivian recommended to me when we first met two years ago.
00:15:00You've been fooling around with Vivian for two years.
00:15:14Quite the catch, James.
00:15:30What's going on between Emily and James?
00:15:41I need you to come pick me up.
00:15:43I can't drive with my hand.
00:15:56I need you to come pick me up.
00:15:58I can't drive with my hand.
00:16:00What?
00:16:02Are you serious?
00:16:04It's midnight.
00:16:05I'm about to get home.
00:16:07You know what?
00:16:08Just leave me.
00:16:09Just leave your boss on the side of the road.
00:16:11You're a great assistant.
00:16:13You're on a date.
00:16:14That's not part of my job.
00:16:16Call Sean.
00:16:17Sean's out of town.
00:16:19Then call a cab.
00:16:21And don't give me that nonsense about rich people not calling cab.
00:16:25You used to handle this kind of stuff for us all the time.
00:16:28I mean.
00:16:29You remember.
00:16:31Well, I don't have any cash on me.
00:16:34My car's there.
00:16:35Then figure it out for yourself.
00:16:38Who does he think he is calling me at this hour?
00:16:48Oh.
00:16:49A billionaire?
00:16:50Can't get a ride home?
00:16:51Mmm.
00:16:52Not my problem.
00:16:53I must be out of my mind to care about him.
00:17:23You're home now, so...
00:17:36I should head out.
00:17:38You could stay.
00:17:40Just for a while.
00:17:42And...
00:17:44What's the catch?
00:17:46Boston employee?
00:17:48Emily.
00:17:49It's me.
00:17:51Just tell me the truth.
00:17:54What's going on between you and James?
00:17:59What did you hear?
00:18:01You know there's more to it.
00:18:04You don't just leave our life together with no reason.
00:18:11Believe what you want.
00:18:13I just wanted a life of luxury with someone who could provide for me.
00:18:18I can provide you any luxuries.
00:18:20Come on.
00:18:22I could never measure up to you.
00:18:25If you just wanted a sexual plaything, find someone else.
00:18:28That's what you think I want.
00:18:31You're a public figure.
00:18:33It wouldn't be a good idea if either of us got too close.
00:18:36Too close?
00:18:37And you're like this?
00:18:43You're gonna lie.
00:19:00Was that Emily?
00:19:08Hello, Mother?
00:19:09It's been three years since you two broke up.
00:19:11woke up. Why can't you just let it go?
00:19:18Danny,
00:19:19that was Emily, wasn't it?
00:19:21Do you remember what you were like
00:19:23after she left you?
00:19:24You spent months just wandering around,
00:19:27unable to let her go.
00:19:29Why are you reaching out again?
00:19:31Well, please don't start.
00:19:33There's more to our breakup
00:19:35than you think.
00:19:36So what? She's married now.
00:19:39It's over, Daniel.
00:19:41No, it's not.
00:19:43You're a successful businessman.
00:19:45There's plenty of women out there for you.
00:19:50It's time to settle down.
00:19:53Take a look at these.
00:19:55See if anyone catches your eye.
00:19:57No, seriously.
00:19:59Take a look. Now.
00:20:08So you actually care that I'm hurt?
00:20:11Of course I didn't.
00:20:13No.
00:20:14Mom,
00:20:15the only woman I've ever loved is Emily.
00:20:18What am I hearing right now?
00:20:21You're telling me you want to become
00:20:22the other man in her marriage?
00:20:24Emily is my world.
00:20:26I'll do whatever it takes to win.
00:20:29I'll do whatever it takes to win.
00:20:35Damn it!
00:20:36They're at it again.
00:20:37Why are these assholes rushing me?
00:20:39I told them I'd pay up.
00:20:41If you knew it'd end up like this,
00:20:42you never should have gambled in the first place.
00:20:46Shut up.
00:20:47Don't lecture me, Emily.
00:20:49Did Daniel even mention the partnership that night?
00:20:51If you pick me,
00:20:53this contract can be your compensation to James.
00:20:55It's what he's always wanted.
00:20:58He's still thinking it over.
00:21:01But I plan to quit after this.
00:21:03You can do whatever you want
00:21:04once the deal's wrapped up.
00:21:06But didn't you say
00:21:06you always wanted to work in design?
00:21:08There are plenty of new design firms out there.
00:21:11I'm just looking at other options.
00:21:13What a fool.
00:21:16The Oster Group is world-renowned.
00:21:18People would kill to be in your position.
00:21:19I'm just gonna throw it away.
00:21:21Oster.
00:21:23Why does that name sound so familiar?
00:21:24Your broke ex-Oster?
00:21:33How could he ever compare
00:21:34to Mr. Oster the billionaire?
00:21:36You need to close the deal with Daniel.
00:21:39If he falls through,
00:21:40we're all in trouble.
00:21:41Don't waste any more time.
00:21:42Go see him now.
00:21:52Daniel.
00:21:52I'm really sorry.
00:21:55I wouldn't be here
00:21:56if I had any other choice.
00:21:57Well,
00:21:58are you here as my business partner?
00:22:01Or my ex?
00:22:04I'm
00:22:04your business partner's wife.
00:22:08Look at you.
00:22:10Getting played,
00:22:11still helping him count the cash.
00:22:14Well, as James knows,
00:22:15I'm a businessman.
00:22:16So only make deals that benefit me.
00:22:19How would being James' business partner
00:22:21benefit me?
00:22:22What do you want?
00:22:30A year ago,
00:22:31James made a very bad bet
00:22:33with even worse people.
00:22:36And you still stayed with him.
00:22:38Why?
00:22:39You've been investigating us?
00:22:42You left me when I was broke.
00:22:44But you'll stay with James
00:22:46even when he's buried in debt.
00:22:47What are you really after?
00:22:52As long as James and I keep quiet,
00:22:55Daniel won't figure it out.
00:22:56Emily,
00:23:06tell me the truth.
00:23:10Then we can talk business.
00:23:13There is no other truth.
00:23:14I'll do anything.
00:23:19As long as you sign the contract with James.
00:23:22I'll do anything.
00:23:23As long as you sign the contract with James.
00:23:24be with me tonight.
00:23:33I guess you're not really serious about doing business with me.
00:23:48there's a gala tonight you'd accompany me
00:23:54I've never been to one of those events
00:23:58then forget the contract
00:24:00okay I'll go
00:24:04what are we doing here
00:24:14I can't take you to the gala
00:24:17Mr. Oster
00:24:23get her made up
00:24:26put her in the dress from the vault
00:24:28that's the boss's most prized dress
00:24:31he's never let anyone wear it
00:24:33she must be someone important
00:24:35right away Mr. Oster
00:24:37if you don't like the way I look

00:31:15would you
00:31:15of course not
00:31:16she'd be delighted

00:31:35I'm going to hear you
00:31:36I'm going to hear you
00:31:37I'm going to hear you
00:31:37I'm going to hear you
00:31:38always the eager beaver
00:31:39Daniel
00:31:41long time no see
00:31:43do you know what the problem with your generation is
00:31:48is that you're also a type
00:31:51it's just a drink
00:31:52so what's with the attitude
00:31:54think you're too good for me
00:31:55Is that it?
00:31:59My assistant is just not used to your enthusiasm.
00:32:05Let's call it a night.
00:32:07So she's your assistant.
00:32:12You would think she would have a little bit more respect.
00:32:21I'll admit, my assistant is a little spoiled.
00:32:25She's got a short temper.
00:32:27If she snaps, there'll be a scene.
00:32:31So what?
00:32:32This time I teach her a little lesson.
00:32:36What is your problem?
00:32:38I offer you a drink and you turn it down.
00:32:42Lucky I even noticed you.
00:32:44You need to learn to get a little bit more grateful.
00:32:48You're forcing me to drink.
00:32:49That's harassment.
00:32:52Harassment. Typical.
00:32:53Get all high and mighty with me.
00:32:57Nobody talks to me like that.
00:32:59Come here!
00:33:02Oh, God!
00:33:10You crazy bitch!
00:33:12Are you out of your mind?
00:33:13Who do you think you are?
00:33:15Emily, what the hell are you doing?
00:33:17Apologize to Bart.
00:33:18He touched me!
00:33:21Disrespected me!
00:33:22Why should I apologize?
00:33:24Are you insane?
00:33:25He's a big deal.
00:33:27He has connections to over half the design firms worldwide.
00:33:30You can't afford to piss him off.
00:33:32Apologize!
00:33:33No.
00:33:33You can keep her in line.
00:33:36Make sure she never works in this industry again.
00:33:39Do you even know who I am?
00:33:42I'm the key partner in the Astro Group.
00:33:45One word for me.
00:33:46And you're out of a job.
00:33:47Daniel, why didn't you stop me?
00:33:55I shouldn't have acted like that.
00:33:57I've really messed things up now.
00:34:00They say you're wild.
00:34:02Hard to tame.
00:34:04Maybe it's time you learn some restraint.
00:34:08Daniel, you obviously need to fire this rude, uncivilized woman.
00:34:13She doesn't belong here.
00:34:14Playing with fire is dangerous.
00:34:18Must have consequences.
00:34:22So this is what he thinks, too?
00:34:24Just like James.
00:34:25I'm always the problem.
00:34:27Now go.
00:34:32Well, hold on.
00:34:33Hold on.
00:34:34You know, I'm nothing if not a forgiving guy.
00:34:38You're willing to get down on your knees and apologize to me.
00:34:41Let the whole thing slide.
00:34:46No.
00:34:49I won't have my dress ruined.
00:34:51Now just go!
00:34:53Daniel's never spoken to me like this before.
00:34:56I guess Bart really means something to him.
00:35:02Well done.
00:35:04Daniel, you know I admire a guy with guts.
00:35:09With your drive, there's nothing you can't do.
00:35:20You wanted a drink, right, Bart?
00:35:22I gotta tell you, I'm parched.
00:35:24I have to tell you.
00:35:24You take it to go.
00:35:40What the hell, Daniel?
00:35:41Are you crazy?
00:35:45About time I taught you a lesson, Bart.
00:35:48You're not some dog that can just keep yapping.
00:35:52Is this the hand you touched my assistant with?
00:35:55Is that what this is about, old woman?
00:35:57Daniel, I'm your biggest partner.
00:35:59Not anymore.
00:36:01I've been the Weedland Partners for years.
00:36:04Come after me again,
00:36:06and you'll regret it.
00:36:09Touch my people.
00:36:10I will hurt you.
00:36:12Christ is hard.
00:36:14Okay!
00:36:15Looks like Emily's really earned Daniel's trust.
00:36:24This deal is locked.
00:36:25Our company is safe.
00:36:26Do you know how many design firms
00:36:27would kill to work with Bart?
00:36:29And Daniel just cuts him off over his assistant?
00:36:32Emily must be something else.
00:36:35I heard him say she's wild.
00:36:36I bet there's more to their story.
00:36:45Emily!
00:36:50I'm sorry.
00:36:51I didn't mean to cause a scene.
00:36:53I'll take responsibility for what happens.
00:36:55I understand if you need to fire me.
00:36:58When did I say I was going to fire you?
00:37:00I'm the CEO.
00:37:01You're the assistant.
00:37:03I'll make the choices.
00:37:04Why isn't he angry with me?
00:37:06This is the perfect moment for him to explode.
00:37:08I'm still holding you.
00:37:11Come home with me.
00:37:23Why can't I refuse him?
00:37:33I prepared the bath water like you asked?
00:37:36Good.
00:37:37Good.
00:37:41I'm gonna wait here
00:37:46until I say you can go.
00:38:00James?
00:38:04James?
00:38:05I heard you left with Daniel.
00:38:07So did you bring up the partnership?
00:38:09This is not the time.
00:38:10You idiot.
00:38:11Him standing up for you tonight
00:38:12clearly shows he trusts you now.
00:38:14What are you talking about?
00:38:16Come on.
00:38:17Daniel attacked Bart for you
00:38:18then cut all ties with him.
00:38:20That's huge.
00:38:21He did all that for me.
00:38:22Why didn't he tell me?
00:38:23Emily, are you even listening?
00:38:25Take this chance to talk to him
00:38:26about the deal before it's too late.
00:38:28You know how important this is.
00:38:30Yeah.
00:38:32Why is Daniel helping me?
00:38:34Does he still care about me?
00:38:36Daniel?
00:38:36Daniel?
00:38:37Say you no.
00:38:49Say you no.
00:38:53Say you no.
00:38:54You don't have to do this for me.
00:39:00He's your business partner.
00:39:05Get the business partners.
00:39:07You're the only one I care about.
00:39:10I don't want you here with me.
00:39:13You can't.
00:39:14This wouldn't be right.
00:39:15I'm jealous.
00:39:17I'm jealous of him.
00:39:19I don't want you to be.
00:39:21Because you're here with me.
00:39:23And you're all mine.
00:39:24I don't want you to be.
00:39:54What could I do?
00:39:56I slept with Daniel.
00:40:00I must be out of my mind.
00:40:02How could I have done this?
00:40:13Take the day off.
00:40:15Make breakfast.
00:40:19Emily, this is cheating.
00:40:21It's wrong.
00:40:22You need to get your life back on track before it gets even more complicated.
00:40:38Emily, I made your favorite.
00:40:40Pancakes.
00:40:42Daniel, we need to talk.
00:40:43I'm resigning.
00:40:53I'm really sorry, Daniel.
00:40:56Last night was a mistake.
00:40:58I'm married.
00:40:59Did you just go to sleep with me and kick me to the curb?
00:41:01I'm really sorry.
00:41:06You've got your life.
00:41:09This isn't right.
00:41:12James isn't right for you.
00:41:14Why can't you see that?
00:41:15Why are you being so naive?
00:41:16John.
00:41:32Yes, I need you to look into something for me.
00:41:35And I need you to take care of James.
00:41:38Now.
00:41:38You didn't come home last night.
00:41:51Where were you?
00:41:53I, I had to work late.
00:41:57I got caught up with something at work.
00:42:00That smells like men's cologne.
00:42:02Whose is it?
00:42:04It's Daniel's.
00:42:05We were discussing their contract.
00:42:11What?
00:42:12The signed documents were flagged because the contracts are invalid?
00:42:15The clients canceled everything?
00:42:18This can't be happening.
00:42:20I've been in this business my entire life and I've never seen anything like this.
00:42:24Someone's setting me up.
00:42:27Hold on.
00:42:27I'll get another call.
00:42:29What?
00:42:30We agreed upon two months.
00:42:32How the hell am I supposed to come up with that much cash by next weekend?
00:42:35Shit!
00:42:36How is everything going wrong at once?
00:42:39I need to lay low for a while.
00:42:41We can't afford any more delays in the contract.
00:42:43Get Daniel to sign it or it won't just be us who suffer.
00:42:48It'll be your mother too.
00:42:55Boss.
00:42:56I've taken care of everything you asked.
00:42:58James' company is drowning in trouble now.
00:43:00Boss.
00:43:02You really going to take Emily for something like that?
00:43:03I'm not letting her suffer any longer.
00:43:09James needs to pay for what he's done.
00:43:22Emily.
00:43:23Right?
00:43:24Be at the Crown Hotel.
00:43:26Room 102 in 30 minutes.
00:43:27Or you can start planning your lover's funeral.
00:43:29Daniel, is he in trouble?
00:43:37Boss.
00:43:38We just got word that James' bookie might be targeting Emily now.
00:43:41Where have they taken Daniel?
00:43:56Where is he?
00:43:57I was about to ask you the same thing.
00:44:00James was supposed to pay today.
00:44:02Where the hell is he?
00:44:04James?
00:44:05I don't know.
00:44:07He hasn't reached out to me.
00:44:09Haven't seen him.
00:44:11I guess he'll have to do.
00:44:12James is a piece of trash.
00:44:14When everything went to hell,
00:44:16he left you to clean up his mess.
00:44:23It's his mess.
00:44:25Go find him.
00:44:27Bitch, you still dare to call for help?
00:44:29You think James would come running?
00:44:33If I messed up your face.
00:44:40Where's the damn door?
00:44:45Who are you, asshole?
00:44:55Who are you, asshole?
00:44:56You're asking for trouble.
00:44:57You found her.
00:44:59Get away from Emily.
00:45:02Daniel, watch out!
00:45:20Emily.
00:45:23Are you okay?
00:45:24Fine.
00:45:25You're bleeding.
00:45:28Let me see.
00:45:30Doesn't matter.
00:45:31As long as you're okay.
00:45:33I'm anxious, man.
00:45:34Let's get you somewhere safe.
00:45:35How do you know where to find me?
00:45:55If you don't become the youngest billionaire
00:45:56without taking a few chances,
00:45:59I know where all my potential enemies are at all times.
00:46:01I'll never let anyone hurt you.
00:46:05I'll never let anyone hurt you.
00:46:09I'll never let anyone hurt you.
00:46:18James could be home any minute.
00:46:20We should probably go.
00:46:23James ran off and left you to clean up his mess.
00:46:27James, honestly, how can you still be defending him?
00:46:30Do you really still love him?
00:46:32Do you want to be married to him?
00:46:35Daniel, please.
00:46:37Don't ask.
00:46:39I don't want you to know about the past.
00:46:41James, it's too painful.
00:46:47He was good to me.
00:46:49Back then.
00:46:54I'm tired.
00:46:55You should probably go.
00:47:03You don't deserve this.
00:47:05We don't deserve this.
00:47:08Fuck!
00:47:09Fuck!
00:47:09Fuck!
00:47:11What am I doing, Daniel?
00:47:15Please.
00:47:16Don't be so kind to me.
00:47:22Shouldn't have let him leave like that.
00:47:25Without an umbrella, what if his wound gets infected?
00:47:27Fuck!
00:47:41Daniel?
00:47:42Are you looking for me?
00:47:53Are you looking for me?
00:47:57Yeah.
00:47:57So far let's me know.
00:47:59I'm looking for you.
00:48:00So far let's go.
00:48:00Number six.
00:48:01I'm looking for a new one.
00:48:02I'm looking for a new one.
00:48:03I'm looking for you.
00:48:05I'm looking for me.
00:48:05Do you still care about me?
00:48:17Right. I thought if a billionaire like you got caught out in a storm like this, the place would come out.
00:48:23Do you just live it out for yourself?
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:29I don't care about anyone else.
00:48:35That's all I need.
00:48:59What have I gotten myself into?
00:49:27I love you, Daniel, but I can't drag you into this toxic relationship.
00:49:35You kissed me.
00:49:39Just admit it. You love me.
00:49:49Divorce James. Marry me.
00:49:53Daniel.
00:50:01I'm sorry, but...
00:50:03Really? After how much he's hurt you, you still can't leave him?
00:50:07What the hell does that bastard have over you?
00:50:21We need to end this.
00:50:23I'm married.
00:50:25We've gone too far.
00:50:27Emily, please.
00:50:29Be with me.
00:50:31James' company is going bankrupt, right?
00:50:35If you stay with me, I'll invest in his company.
00:50:39What do you take me for?
00:50:41What do you take me for?
00:50:43Some kind of object?
00:50:45Just...
00:50:47We're done here.
00:50:49Leave me alone.
00:50:55Emily, are you okay?
00:50:57I'm fine.
00:51:01Just go away.
00:51:03I'm fine.
00:51:05Just go away.
00:51:07I'm fine.
00:51:09Just go away.
00:51:11James is the only one who knew about my mother's hospitalization.
00:51:27Could it really be him?
00:51:43Emily, I need a favor.
00:51:45I found a new investor, and he's willing to provide funding.
00:51:47But I need you to meet him for me.
00:51:49Come back and face this yourself, James.
00:51:51I almost died because of you.
00:51:53Please, just this once.
00:51:55Did you pay for my mother's medical bills?
00:51:57I just got the hospital notice.
00:51:59Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:52:01Now, please, help me out.
00:52:03I've sent you the address.
00:52:05Fine.
00:52:07But remember?
00:52:09This is the last time.
00:52:11This is the last time.
00:52:13Boss, I found out James has been talking to bar researchers.
00:52:27Trying to offer Emily some sort of bargaining chip to secure funding.
00:52:31First, he abuses her.
00:52:33Then he treats her like some sort of commodity.
00:52:35I want to bury.
00:52:37He will regret this!
00:52:43Get me done.
00:52:48I want James' company bankrupt.
00:52:50Tomorrow!
00:52:53So it's you.
00:52:55You're the one behind all of this?
00:52:59Why?
00:53:01Emily, please.
00:53:03You don't understand everything he's done.
00:53:05He's a jerk, I know.
00:53:06But the one who crossed the line, it's me!
00:53:09I don't know everything I know.
00:53:15Is this why you brought me here?
00:53:18I don't need you stepping in, Daniel!
00:53:21I can handle this on my own!
00:53:31Boss, Bart's been taken care of.
00:53:33We found some type of sex dungeon at his place.
00:53:36Thankfully, Emily never made it there.
00:53:38If she had, it could have been bad.
00:53:41Did I tell her?
00:53:42No.
00:53:44No.
00:53:46Keep this between us.
00:53:47Where the hell have you been?
00:53:57Our company is bankrupt.
00:54:02It's your fault!
00:54:03James, stop!

01:06:00Hey, Mommy.
01:06:02Hey, Mom.
01:06:03What's the thing with Stacy?
01:06:04Stacy said she was going to ride her bike around the block.
01:06:08So I came back.
01:06:10Honey, why don't you let me teach you how to ride a bike?
01:06:13It's not fair.
01:06:15All my friends learn from their daddies.
01:06:17When can I meet mine?
01:06:18Maybe one day, sweetie.
01:06:22How about this?
01:06:24You go next door and ask Mrs. Baker for your favorite treat.
01:06:28Snow cone?
01:06:30And tell her I said you can have extra syrup.
01:06:33Yay!
01:06:34Emily.
01:06:35It's been five years.
01:06:36Where are you?
01:06:37Daddy?
01:06:38What'd you say?
01:06:39I seen your pictures at my house.
01:06:40You probably saw me on TV.
01:06:41Can you teach me how to ride my bike?
01:06:42You don't know how?
01:06:43Ah, what's a bad idea?
01:06:44It's been ten, five years.
01:06:45Where are you?
01:06:46Daddy?
01:06:47What'd you say?
01:06:49I seen your pictures at my house.
01:06:53You probably saw me on TV.
01:06:56Can you teach me how to ride my bike?
01:06:59You don't know how?
01:07:02Well, I don't know how.
01:07:04No, I'm not kidding.
01:07:07I'm not kidding.
01:07:08I've never seen my car in my car.
01:07:10You don't know how?
01:07:16What's your name?
01:07:17Emma.
01:07:21Well, Emma, it's been a while for me, but I think we can manage.
01:07:30Okay, hold on to the handlebars tight.
01:07:32I think you already know.
01:07:34Okay, okay. Pedal.
01:07:35Here we go.
01:07:36Pedal.
01:07:37All right, good. Watch your balance.
01:07:41I'm gonna go faster.
01:07:44You can do it.
01:07:46Whoa.
01:07:50I did it!
01:07:51You did it!
01:07:51I did it!
01:07:56This snowflake design, it's from the dress I designed for Emily years ago.
01:08:05Where'd you get that necklace?
01:08:07My mommy gave it to me.
01:08:08I've worn it since I was born.
01:08:10She said it was very special to her.
01:08:13Where's mommy?
01:08:16At the store.
01:08:18Can you take me there?
01:08:22Mom, let's go!
01:08:26Mommy!
01:08:34Mom, why don't you go to the other one today?
01:08:47Mom, why don't you go to the other one today?
01:08:49Okay, mommy.
01:08:54Is it really you?
01:08:58Hey.
01:09:03I've been searching for you.
01:09:16And now that I have you, I'm never gonna let you go again.
01:09:21You?
01:09:26Your daughter?
01:09:28That's all that matters.
01:09:30I can only begin to understand the sacrifices you made for us.
01:09:35The medical bills, the money, James.
01:09:41I'll never let him hurt you again.
01:09:43But I hurt you too.
01:09:44I was jealous, and I was cruel, and I'm so sorry.
01:09:51I'll do whatever it takes to make this right for our family.
01:09:59You've always been there for me.
01:10:01You kept helping me, supporting me.
01:10:10You even paid my mom's bills when they couldn't.
01:10:13I'm not the woman you deserve.
01:10:23I'm not the woman you deserve.
01:10:25I've been torn apart.
01:10:33You deserve so much more.
01:10:37So much better than this, than me.
01:10:39So much better than this, than me.
01:10:59Daniel, can you help me pick up Emma's toy?
01:11:20She's taking a nap.
01:11:25Not it, honey.
01:11:27Hey, let me take that.
01:11:29The doctor said to stay off your feet.
01:11:31Let me help.
01:11:38Hold on, Mr. Oster.
01:11:41The doctor said we should wait until after the baby is born.
01:11:45Emily, you're like a drug.
01:11:49One touch, you can never get enough.
01:11:54I got you something.
01:11:55That's cute.
01:12:06No.
01:12:08It's this.
01:12:11What is it?
01:12:12My company, my properties, all my assets, they're yours.
01:12:23They've always been yours.
01:12:25After everything we've gone through, everything we're going to go through.
01:12:30I won't let anything in this world tear us apart again.
01:12:39Merry Christmas, Mr. Oster.
01:12:43Merry Christmas, Mrs. Oster.
01:12:44Merry Christmas, Mrs. Oster.
01:12:58Merry Christmas, Mrs. Oster.
