00:00:00Good luck with your promotion, Mr. Knight. I quit.
00:00:18Checkmate.
00:00:20I'll give it to you, kiddo. You're still the whiz kid.
00:00:24I think that'd make it easier to find a job.
00:00:26You'll find one.
00:00:27Find a way.
00:00:31I've literally never heard anybody call her that.
00:00:34You've met her.
00:00:35You want me to be?
00:00:37If you want the CEO title, I need to see that you're settled down.
00:00:41You're a little crushed by Angela Carter.
00:00:44Or blood.
00:00:45Are those my only options?
00:00:47Unfortunately, there's a lot of desperate perverts and rich billionaires that want to live forever.
00:00:54Maybe do something nice for yourself.
00:00:57Anything nice costs money.
00:01:01Our encounter yesterday gave me an idea.
00:01:04Signs a rap sheet. Thank you.
00:01:08Xavier, you answered a prayer of mine.
00:01:13So, I'm here to answer yours, Angela.
00:01:18I'll save your father.
00:01:21If...
00:01:25A kind young woman offered this to me after you left me in the park the other day.
00:01:29It's your mother's favorite.
00:01:32I was like you once, Xavier.
00:01:35Angry at the world.
00:01:37Emptying myself into one hollow pleasure after another until there was nothing left inside of me.
00:01:44Lashing out at everyone that tried to help.
00:01:47It's a great speech, Dad.
00:01:50It sounds even better today than it did yesterday.
00:01:53You know, I thought threatening to take away the CEO position from you would make you understand how serious I am.
00:01:59I do understand.
00:02:02And I actually have a great idea to help make back all the money that I lost.
00:02:08There's a new AI tool developed in Paris.
00:02:10And we could be the first media company to have it.
00:02:14You're missing the point.
00:02:16Children have ideas.
00:02:18Adults turn ideas into something real.
00:02:20And your mother turned me into something real.
00:02:24She taught me the power of commitment.
00:02:27And I found someone who can do that for you.
00:02:30So you want me to date a random girl off the street because she gave you a flower?
00:02:37No, Xavier.
00:02:39Her name is Angela.
00:02:41And I want you to marry her.
00:02:43You're joking.
00:02:45Unfortunately not.
00:02:47You've run me out of options.
00:02:51It's Angela, or I'm cutting you off.
00:02:55Angela, or you'll never be CEO.
00:02:59Angela, or I give up on you, son.
00:03:12So crazy. When they told me whose makeup I was doing, I was like, it can't be that Angela.
00:03:21Can you give us a moment, please?
00:03:23Yep.
00:03:31It's you.
00:03:34What a displeasure to see you again.
00:03:37Displeasure's all mine.
00:03:40Need I remind you, the last thing this family needs is another leak of information.
00:03:45In public, you have to get along.
00:03:48Wait.
00:03:51Hmm.
00:03:53Congratulations.
00:03:56You're officially a gold digger.
00:04:04Great.
00:04:09Get a little closer, maybe.
00:04:12Please.
00:04:17Yeah.
00:04:20Try putting your hand on his chest, maybe.
00:04:27Uh.
00:04:31Yeah, higher.
00:04:34Higher.
00:04:36Perfect.
00:04:40It's perfect.
00:04:43Okay, and now the kiss.
00:04:47Come on now, don't be shy.
00:04:52Oh, I missed that one.
00:04:57Missed that one, too.
00:05:00What if we try one that's a little bit longer?
00:05:16Okay.
00:05:39You're not a bad kisser.
00:05:47I don't know who you are.
00:05:50I don't know what you want.
00:05:53But I am going to ruin your life.
00:06:05All right, Mr. Knight.
00:06:08Or should I call you Mr. Lovebird?
00:06:11Look, you're smitten.
00:06:14Tell me, how do you feel?
00:06:18I feel super.
00:06:20No further questions.
00:06:25Okay.
00:06:29How about you, Miss Famous Fiance?
00:06:33What's the secret? How did you tame the untameable Xavier Knight?
00:06:40Unconditional love.
00:06:44I want to take a break.
00:06:54Love works in mysterious ways.
00:06:59Xavier?
00:07:14Xavier?
00:07:19Hello, dear.
00:07:24I met Skye.
00:07:26We went to college together, small world.
00:07:28Okay, can you stop having sex for like one second?
00:07:31Skye, what the fuck?
00:07:32What? I mean, he said you guys did this all the time.
00:07:34I thought you knew.
00:07:35It's true, isn't it, dear?
00:07:38It's part of our arrangement.
00:07:40Right, yeah, of course, it's no problem.
00:07:43So are you going to hop in with us or should I finish up solo?
00:07:47Look, it was good to see you, Skye.
00:07:49It's always fun catching up with old friends.
00:07:51Oh, Angela?
00:07:54Would you close the door on your way out, my love?
00:08:01I can't believe you're really coming through with this.
00:08:03I don't really have another choice, Dustin.
00:08:05You can't do this.
00:08:07He's a raging asshole and a womanizer.
00:08:10Maybe that's what I want.
00:08:11Oh my god.
00:08:14Tell me this isn't about Matt.
00:08:17Which Matt?
00:08:18I don't know.
00:08:19Only the Matt you once called the love of your life.
00:08:22This has nothing to do with him.
00:08:24Look, I know he hurt you, but just because you-
00:08:26It's not about him.
00:08:28This is about my dad and saving his life.
00:08:31You have a life worth protecting, too, you know?
00:08:34I don't want you to give up on love forever just to pay for a surgery.
00:08:39Don't worry, Dustin.
00:08:45I gave up on love a long time ago.
00:09:09It took my family a hundred years to build their fortune.
00:09:12It took you, what?
00:09:14Two days?
00:09:16To latch on.
00:09:18Start sucking.
00:09:20You're acting like this was my big idea.
00:09:27So I'm entitled to the fortune by birth.
00:09:30And you're entitled to the fortune by death.
00:09:35So I'm entitled to the fortune by birth.
00:09:38You are...
00:09:42Nobody.
00:09:45Nothing.
00:09:48Where's my room?
00:09:50I hope you know we're not sleeping in the same bed as each other.
00:09:54Afraid you won't be able to keep your hands off me?
00:09:59Down the hall.
00:10:01Or do you really think you can fix me?
00:10:32Hey.
00:10:35Okay, you like it.
00:10:40You seem better.
00:10:42I feel better.
00:10:43I always forget how much running helps me.
00:10:47You want to get lunch?
00:10:49I should probably go check on my dad.
00:10:52But I'll see you at home?
00:10:54Yeah, okay.
00:11:02So how are you feeling?
00:11:04Better than I have in a while.
00:11:06Thank God the insurance came through.
00:11:08Don't know how we would have ever paid for this treatment.
00:11:10You'll be ready for surgery in no time.
00:11:19Hello, dear.
00:11:24Angela, who is this?
00:11:28Angela, who is this?
00:11:31My name is Xavier Knight.
00:11:34I'm your daughter's fiance.
00:11:36Angela, is this true?
00:11:38Of course it is.
00:11:40My forgetful little dove accidentally left her ring at home.
00:11:45Angela, why didn't you tell me?
00:11:47I didn't want to overwhelm you with the treatment.
00:11:50But something inside me, sir, knew that it was wrong
00:11:54to pluck such a delicate flower without asking for her father's permission.
00:11:59Well, it looks like you found yourself quite a gentleman.
00:12:03Where did you two meet?
00:12:05At the cemetery.
00:12:07When?
00:12:09Just recently.
00:12:12And you're engaged already?
00:12:17When you know, you know.
00:12:19And how did you know, Xavier?
00:12:23It's not every day that you find someone that you can really trust.
00:12:28And there's no secrets between us, right, hon?
00:12:32All right, well, I'll see you at home, babe.
00:12:36Home? You two live together?
00:12:40It was so nice meeting you, Mr. Carter.
00:12:48What is wrong with you?
00:12:50I just want to see where my wife spends her time all day.
00:12:53Interesting you didn't tell your dear father about our little arrangement.
00:12:57You're an asshole.
00:12:58This is what the money's for, if you must know.
00:13:00To save his life.
00:13:01Oh, and were you also trying to save the life of that man you saw in the park today?
00:13:05You were following me?
00:13:06Seems that way.
00:13:07Well, don't worry.
00:13:09Dustin's just a friend.
00:13:12I'm not going anywhere.
00:13:15To marrying me.
00:13:17There are worse things than being married to you.
00:13:30I wouldn't be so sure about that.
00:13:36Why's that?
00:13:38Because I'm bad news.
00:13:42Always have been.
00:13:44Then maybe it's time to try something new, okay?
00:13:46I could help you.
00:13:47Stop being so nice to me.
00:13:51This is nice?
00:13:52You talk to me like you know me or like you're trying to get to know me.
00:13:57Why do you want my defenses down, huh?
00:13:59What's your angle?
00:14:00I just think we see people differently, Xavier.
00:14:02Try living your whole life where everyone always wants something from you.
00:14:09Then we'll see how open-hearted you still are.
00:14:13My heart's collecting dust just the same as yours.
00:14:21It's funny.
00:14:24Even though I know that you're using me.
00:14:31I don't think you're lying to me.
00:14:35I'm not.
00:14:38Maybe you were right that day at the cemetery.
00:14:42I'm an asshole.
00:14:46You're an angel.
00:14:49We have a dinner with a member of the board tomorrow night.
00:14:56So I have to behave.
00:15:01And so do you.
00:15:08The board flew into a panic when they read about your secretary expose.
00:15:15I mean, I can't say we're not relieved to see you settle down.
00:15:18Sure.
00:15:19Yeah, it's giving me a lot of focus.
00:15:22Actually, I was just talking to my father the other day about a new opportunity for us in France.
00:15:29Come on.
00:15:30I want to hear about how you and Angela met.
00:15:33We always talk about Angela.
00:15:38Which I'm sure she's getting sick of.
00:15:43He just gets choked up talking about it.
00:15:46Such a softy.
00:15:52My son's idea of a joke.
00:15:56She would never let me forget how smart she is.
00:16:03So, Angela, what do you think of Xavier's new big idea, the Paris deal?
00:16:09Well, who could say no to a face like that?
00:16:12I don't know. I'm serious.
00:16:14Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders.
00:16:16What do you think of this direction for the company?
00:16:19Honestly?
00:16:23I mean, with all due respect, this Paris deal doesn't matter one bit.
00:16:28Well, it doesn't.
00:16:30There's always going to be some new cutting edge technology.
00:16:33And it doesn't matter if Knight Enterprises acquires this tool or the next one that hops up.
00:16:38What matters is whether...
00:16:47So, Harvard, huh?
00:16:52The tone of surprise in your voice is fairly insulting, but yes, Harvard.
00:17:00I'm not used to being around smart girls.
00:17:05Maybe everything they said just went right over your head.
00:17:09There you go.
00:17:11Being all smart again.
00:17:17I like it when you're smart with me.
00:17:20What?
00:17:32What the fuck?
00:17:39So how are you, Dad?
00:17:41Fit as a fiddle. The tumor has completely stopped growing.
00:17:44Thank God for that. Surgery's in two weeks.
00:17:48The day after your wedding. Are you excited?
00:17:51Sure.
00:17:54To be honest, kiddo, you don't seem very happy at all.
00:17:59No. No, I am.
00:18:02Really? You can always walk away.
00:18:06I want to marry him.
00:18:11I love him.
00:18:15All right, darling, just be careful.
00:18:33Did you cook?
00:18:35Someone did.
00:18:38I paid for it.
00:18:40Figured you were hungry.
00:18:43Thanks.
00:18:52That's guy?
00:18:55No.
00:18:56Another woman then?
00:18:59What makes you say that?
00:19:01You get this, like, satisfied look on your face when you're getting attention from women.
00:19:06And how would you know that?
00:19:08Remember?
00:19:10I've seen you in...
00:19:13In coitus.
00:19:15In coitus?
00:19:19My God, maybe you are not. Wow.
00:19:24So you have thought about it?
00:19:27Thought about what?
00:19:28Me. In coitus.
00:19:33I would never touch a man who wasn't faithful.
00:19:36Oh, I see.
00:19:39So, you're attracted to me, but the only thing stopping you is that there's other women.
00:19:44Mm-hmm. Yeah, you can just go ahead and tell yourself whatever story you want to believe.
00:19:48Huh.
00:20:00That's about 30 seconds.
00:20:0530 seconds? Oh my God, that's nothing. That's all it took for me to get Angela Carter to blush.
00:20:21So, things are really going well with Xavier.
00:20:25You know you keep asking me that?
00:20:27I just want to make sure that he treats you well. Respects you.
00:20:32Well, thank you so much for your concern.
00:20:35Why don't we just talk...
00:20:48Were you reading my texts?
00:20:49I can explain. I'm worried about you, Angela. I'm worried about Xavier.
00:20:54Dustin, where is this coming from?
00:20:56I ran into Skye from college, and she said that she ran into you and Xavier at... well...
00:21:03Thanks for trusting me, Mr. Graydon. I think this Paris deal could be exactly the answer we've all been looking for.
00:21:11I couldn't be happier.
00:21:26I love you.
00:21:28I love you, too.
00:21:53Something wrong?
00:21:56Are you sure you didn't study acting at Harvard?
00:22:01Excuse me?
00:22:03I mean, you got the chops for it.
00:22:08Did you even go to Harvard?
00:22:10Xavier, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:22:12I saw you and Dustin.
00:22:14Oh my God. This again?
00:22:16You're trying to make me look foolish? You've put my entire reputation on the line.
00:22:20How long have you two been together?
00:22:22Haven't we done this already?
00:22:23That's what makes it so humiliating, because I actually started to believe you.
00:22:28Just stop it. You're overreacting.
00:22:30Oh yeah? Is this overreacting?
00:22:41Yeah, definitely.
00:22:43So I'm the bad guy now, huh? Because I actually value commitment.
00:22:47Commitment? You're always with a different woman.
00:22:50So you have been seeing him.
00:22:52Dustin's gay, you idiot.
00:22:58Oh.
00:23:00Well...
00:23:04I haven't been seeing other women.
00:23:07What?
00:23:09Not since the dinner.
00:23:11Why?
00:23:14I don't know.
00:23:19Xavier, who hurt you?
00:23:23No one.
00:23:24Well, you're lashing out.
00:23:26That's what my father says.
00:23:30Matt.
00:23:33That's mine.
00:23:36The man who broke my heart.
00:23:41Made me believe it would hurt less to never put it back together again.
00:23:53I love you.
00:24:01Claudia.
00:24:15She was...
00:24:18everything that I ever imagined in a woman.
00:24:22Wild in all the right ways.
00:24:24No one had ever been able to keep up with me like that before.
00:24:29You know, I thought I'd finally met my match.
00:24:32So after a few months, I proposed.
00:24:38And the night before the wedding...
00:24:44she's gone.
00:24:46Ran off with my best man.
00:24:52I guess I had really met my match.
00:24:55So you thought...
00:24:57I mean, Dustin before the wedding.
00:25:08I know what it's like to be hurt.
00:25:11But you can't live in fear forever.
00:25:15It's only a matter of time until I scare you away.
00:25:19So is that what you've been doing?
00:25:22Pushing me away on purpose because you're scared to do it by mistake?
00:25:27Everyone leaves eventually.
00:25:34You will too.
00:25:36I know this may be hard to imagine, Xavier.
00:25:40But I'm not afraid of you.
00:25:44And I'm not running away.
00:26:10Do you want this?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:44What?
00:26:49What?
00:26:51Nothing.
00:26:53It's just...
00:26:56We're getting married tomorrow.
00:27:01I know.
00:27:03Can you believe it?
00:27:07Wait, wait.
00:27:10Let's wait for our wedding night.
00:27:13Traditional.
00:27:15I like it.
00:27:18Wait.
00:27:20Stay with me.
00:27:24Nothing has to happen.
00:27:27Just stay.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:35I'll stay.
00:28:03Dr. Bogdan?
00:28:08Ms. Carter, we've been trying to reach you.
00:28:11We were calling and calling, but you wouldn't answer.
00:28:14What happened?
00:28:16He was yelling out for you.
00:28:18We kept trying to call so you could be here to say goodbye.
00:28:21Why weren't you answering the phone, Angela?
00:28:23Wait.
00:28:24Are you saying that...
00:28:26We lost him, Angela.
00:28:29Your father's dead.
00:28:32Hey, it's okay. It's okay.
00:28:35Sorry.
00:28:37I was dreaming.
00:28:39My dad.
00:28:45I, um...
00:28:47Lost my mom...
00:28:50When I was 17.
00:28:57Fucked me up for life.
00:29:01I lost my mom when I was 10.
00:29:05So, mine's like...
00:29:08Way sadder.
00:29:15Oh, yeah.
00:29:20I still feel her, though.
00:29:23You know?
00:29:26Sometimes more than others.
00:29:30With some people.
00:29:32More than others.
00:29:34I know what you mean.
00:29:39Will you come somewhere with me?
00:29:43Are you forgetting that we're supposed to be getting married?
00:29:46Come on, please. For me.
00:29:54Okay.
00:29:56Okay.
00:30:02Sometimes I feel like she's watching over me.
00:30:05Like the things in my life happen because she orders them to be.
00:30:10Is this who you were visiting on the day we met?
00:30:14Met?
00:30:15You were a total asshole.
00:30:18I was...
00:30:20Having a bad day.
00:30:22I know my father will always be with me in this way, but...
00:30:26I'm not ready to lose him.
00:30:29I'd do anything to keep him here with me.
00:30:32Even marry a rich asshole?
00:30:35Especially marry a rich asshole.
00:30:40It's a crazy coincidence.
00:30:43Both of our moms are buried at the same place.
00:30:47Maybe it's a coincidence.
00:30:50Maybe it's fate.
00:30:55I don't know.
00:31:19Oh, there you are.
00:31:21You've got to get ready.
00:31:23The rest is in the bridal suite.
00:31:25I was worried you were going to get cold feet.
00:31:28Dad.
00:31:29Don't worry. We have time.
00:31:32I thought I was going to have to call a SWAT team to get you here.
00:31:34Nope. I surrender myself.
00:31:36Willingly.
00:31:38I don't know how you did it, Angela.
00:31:40You're amazing.
00:31:41Your dad would be so proud.
00:31:45I just wish he could be here.
00:31:47Well...
00:31:51Dad?
00:31:52Hey, kiddo.
00:31:53But your surgery is tomorrow. I thought you couldn't leave the hospital.
00:31:56Someone called me this morning and asked me to make you a special exception.
00:32:04And your fiancé has been hard at work.
00:32:06Seems like your honeymoon will have a little stopover in Paris to secure the deal.
00:32:10Really?
00:32:15Paris is just lovely this time of year.
00:32:23Claudia?
00:32:31Claudia, what are you doing here?
00:32:33Well, I heard the good news.
00:32:36And I had to see her for myself.
00:32:40You shouldn't be here.
00:32:42Aren't you going to introduce me?
00:32:46Angela, this is my friend Claudia.
00:32:49I think I mentioned her before.
00:32:51I think so.
00:32:56It's so good to meet you, Angela.
00:33:01Xavier, a minute alone?
00:33:04Where's Brandon?
00:33:05I would love to tell you all about it.
00:33:08I'm begging you.
00:33:10Leave.
00:33:11You're begging?
00:33:13But I would only need a moment.
00:33:15Angela, why don't you go get ready?
00:33:19I'll handle this.
00:33:21But the wedding starts soon.
00:33:23I'll be there.
00:33:27I promise.
00:33:30You are out of your mind.
00:33:32Showing up here is insane.
00:33:34Like you don't fucking love it?
00:33:36I don't.
00:33:38I've changed.
00:33:39I've heard that before.
00:33:41God, it turns me on when you act like you can control yourself.
00:33:44Claudia.
00:33:45You put on a good show.
00:33:47And I came here to see the beast.
00:33:49Come on, rip my dress off me right now.
00:33:52Keep your voice down.
00:33:54Xavier, it's me.
00:33:56You think I'm going to believe that you've gone soft for some normie?
00:34:00You can fool everyone else, but I know there's something going on here.
00:34:05You don't know anything about her.
00:34:07But I know about you, Xavier.
00:34:10The real you.
00:34:12The animal.
00:34:14I'm caged.
00:34:16Wild.
00:34:24I fucking knew it.
00:34:27Angela, wait.
00:34:36Angela, Angela.
00:34:38It's not what it looks like.
00:34:40Okay, I'm so sorry that you had to see that.
00:34:42It's fine, really.
00:34:46You never promised me anything.
00:34:49Angela.
00:34:50This was never about feelings.
00:34:53This was just an arrangement.
00:34:55For your future and for my father.
00:34:57Please.
00:34:58Please what, Xavier?
00:35:02I'm nothing to you.
00:35:05And you're nothing to me.
00:35:07Don't say that.
00:35:09Why not?
00:35:10Because I...
00:35:13Because, um...
00:35:21I thought so.
00:35:29Showtime.
00:35:30Let's go.
00:35:42I love you.
00:36:02I do.
00:36:04Then please, present the rings.
00:36:13I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:36:16You may kiss the bride.
00:36:43You know...
00:36:47For a second there, I thought you were gonna leave.
00:36:53I can't leave, Xavier.
00:36:57I've been looking for you.
00:37:02Angela.
00:37:07I'm sorry about what happened with Claudia.
00:37:11She means nothing to me.
00:37:15I know.
00:37:18You do?
00:37:22No one means anything to you.
00:37:25That's not true.
00:37:28Angela.
00:37:33I love you.
00:37:41Love isn't a single tender thought about me in the middle of the night, Xavier.
00:37:46I know that.
00:37:47And love isn't just wanting to fuck me either.
00:37:53I mean, to be honest...
00:37:55I don't even know if you're capable of love.
00:37:58Because love, Xavier, is a commitment.
00:38:01To something more than every passing pleasure.
00:38:06And it's too bad, you know?
00:38:08Because you could be amazing if you believed in yourself for ten seconds.
00:38:12But you go from woman to woman, idea to idea, just hoping, praying...
00:38:17One of them will distract you from the nothingness inside of you.
00:38:28You poor little rich boy.
00:38:31It must be so hard...
00:38:33To have everything you could ever want and never have to choose anything.
00:38:39That's what you think of me?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:47Good to know everything's clear between us.
00:38:59I can't do this.
00:39:01She hates me.
00:39:03She doesn't hate you.
00:39:05She's hurt, Xavier.
00:39:09She's trapped with me, Dad.
00:39:12Is it...
00:39:17I don't forgive you.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:28I didn't want to kiss her.
00:39:30That must have been really hard for you.
00:39:32I'm just trying to say...
00:39:33Did you come here just to argue with me?
00:39:36No.
00:39:40Well, we were able to remove the tumor and he'll be fine.
00:39:44He just needs some TLC.
00:39:47Dad!
00:39:50Hey, beautiful.
00:39:53What's wrong?
00:39:55What's wrong?
00:39:57I've been sitting in a hospital for twelve hours hoping you weren't dead.
00:40:01Good to see you, Xavier.
00:40:03It's good to see you, sir.
00:40:08You should get some rest, Dad.
00:40:10We just wanted to say hi.
00:40:12You have to get ready for your big trip to Paris.
00:40:14Actually, sir...
00:40:17It'll just be me going, I think.
00:40:19So that Angela can be here.
00:40:22Is that true, dear?
00:40:24You're not going?
00:40:34No.
00:40:46The grey one matches your eyes.
00:40:51I don't forgive you.
00:41:03I love you.
00:41:33I love you.
00:41:51Who are you?
00:41:56Doctor!
00:41:57Wait, what's going on?
00:41:59Angela, are you telling me that you don't know who I am?
00:42:01No.
00:42:04I'm your husband.
00:42:09You have a case of retrograde amnesia.
00:42:11Not uncommon after severe head trauma.
00:42:13What the hell is that?
00:42:15It's a delayed mental reaction to events of extreme psychological or physical distress.
00:42:20She can make new memories.
00:42:22But for now, it seems that she has forgotten everything that came before this moment.
00:42:27Will she get better?
00:42:29Will she remember?
00:42:31There are no easy answers here.
00:42:33I mean, the brain is a delicate system, and we still don't fully understand it.
00:42:39There must be something.
00:42:41Well, there are steps you can take, but there is no guarantee you'll regain your memory.
00:42:47What steps?
00:42:49Get back to your routines.
00:42:51Your father said you love running.
00:42:53And spend time together.
00:42:55Xavier, remind Angela of all the memories you shared.
00:42:58The reasons you fell in love in the first place.
00:43:08So, we're married?
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:17Are we happy?
00:43:20Of course.
00:43:23That was a long pause.
00:43:25It's hard seeing you like this.
00:43:29You're usually a very strong woman.
00:43:35It's actually one of the things that I love most about you.
00:43:39Well, just because I don't remember your name doesn't mean I'm not strong.
00:43:43Oh, my God.
00:43:49My name is Xavier Knight.
00:43:52You are Angela Knight.
00:43:57And you're my wife.
00:44:02Okay, Dad. She's at the hospital with her father.
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:14I'll have to call you back.
00:44:22How'd you get in here?
00:44:23Thought you would have changed the locks by now.
00:44:25It's like you wanted me to come back.
00:44:27Made myself a drink.
00:44:29I hope you don't mind.
00:44:32Thank God that you're okay.
00:44:34When I heard the news, I was hysterical.
00:44:36I thought I lost you forever.
00:44:39Yeah, we got lucky.
00:44:41All things considered.
00:44:44How is she?
00:44:47She...
00:44:49Uh...
00:44:51She doesn't remember me.
00:44:55Well, isn't that awfully convenient?
00:45:00How dare you?
00:45:02She's in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury.
00:45:05Everyone would understand.
00:45:07She's damaged goods.
00:45:11I can't get you out of my head.
00:45:14I don't want you out of my head.
00:45:18I want all of you.
00:45:20And all of me.
00:45:36Claudia, Claudia.
00:45:38No, things are complicated, okay?
00:45:40I have a lot of things to sort through.
00:45:42What kind of things?
00:45:44I don't know who I am anymore.
00:45:46You are Xavier Knight.
00:45:49The billionaire son of a genius.
00:45:52You are a wild animal of a man.
00:45:56Who never believed in limits.
00:45:59Don't stop now.
00:46:02I never stopped loving you, Xavier.
00:46:06It was always you.
00:46:17Nobody else could keep up.
00:46:21Claudia?
00:46:44Even with a traumatic brain injury, you still beat me.
00:46:47Winning definitely felt familiar.
00:46:51What if I don't ever remember you?
00:46:56You will always be my daughter.
00:47:00Even if we have to start from the beginning.
00:47:03I'll teach you how to ride a bike again if I have to.
00:47:06It wasn't so long ago that I was the one in the hospital bed and...
00:47:14...in your favor.
00:47:17Would Xavier come with me to visit you?
00:47:20Not until right before my surgery.
00:47:24Why is that?
00:47:26You hadn't met yet.
00:47:28It was very quick.
00:47:30You never even told me you were dating him and...
00:47:33...then he showed up one day and announced he was your fiancé.
00:47:37Does that...
00:47:39Does that sound like me?
00:47:41No.
00:47:43Does that sound like me?
00:47:45No.
00:47:46You are not the impulsive type.
00:47:49But...
00:47:50...love has made people do crazier things.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:48:01I'm proud of you, son.
00:48:03For what?
00:48:05Not dying in a plane crash.
00:48:07This is what marriage is really about.
00:48:10In sickness and in health.
00:48:13I don't know if I can do it again.
00:48:17I don't know if she'd want to.
00:48:20Life is about showing up, Xavier.
00:48:23It's about committing.
00:48:25Even when it's hard.
00:48:28The Paris team sold their technology to another company.
00:48:32So...
00:48:34...we have to find a new way for the board to see your commitment.
00:48:39I was thinking of the night summer gala.
00:48:41I'm not in the mood to go to some party at your house, dad.
00:48:43No.
00:48:44This year, we'll do it at yours.
00:48:46So the board can see you're ready to take over for your old man.
00:48:49I should be spending my time with Angela.
00:48:51I want her there too.
00:48:53A united front.
00:48:55Husband and wife.
00:48:56Loyal to each other and to the company.
00:48:59I don't know if you've been reading up on the news, dad.
00:49:02We were just in a plane crash.
00:49:04Maybe this can wait.
00:49:07You have a month...
00:49:08...before the gala...
00:49:09...to focus on Angela and her recovery.
00:49:12Do this for me, Xavier.
00:49:15And I'll announce you as CEO.
00:49:18He...
00:49:19He hasn't told you?
00:49:22Uh...
00:49:23Told me what?
00:49:29Dustin.
00:49:31Can I speak with you?
00:49:40Oh.
00:49:45It's nice to finally get some face time, Xavier.
00:49:48You've never seemed too interested in meeting me.
00:49:50Just accusing me of seducing Angela.
00:49:53So you've heard some stories.
00:49:56What do you know about how Angela and I met?
00:49:58Nothing really.
00:49:59Just that your father recruited Angela for a contract marriage...
00:50:02...and you bullied her, cheated on her, and never loved her.
00:50:06That's not true.
00:50:10Okay, the first stuff is true.
00:50:13And the middle stuff.
00:50:16But I do love her.
00:50:20Just please don't tell her about the arrangement.
00:50:23Why haven't you told her?
00:50:25I'm afraid I'll scare her away.
00:50:27With the truth?
00:50:28I know.
00:50:33I'm just afraid of losing her.
00:50:35Can't you believe that?
00:50:39Look, I will tell her.
00:50:41I swear.
00:50:43Just let me do it on my own time.
00:50:45Listen.
00:50:46I'm leaving for a month.
00:50:48By the time I come back...
00:50:50...she better know.
00:50:53Or I'll tell her everything.
00:51:10So this is where we live?
00:51:12Yeah.
00:51:14You like it?
00:51:17It's beautiful.
00:51:19You hate it.
00:51:22Maybe I expected something a little...
00:51:25...homey-er.
00:51:27I don't know.
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:31I don't know.
00:51:33I don't know.
00:51:35I don't know.
00:51:37I don't know.
00:51:40I'm just so happy to be back from the hospital.
00:51:45Well...
00:51:46...get some rest...
00:51:47...and I will be here for you...
00:51:49...if you need anything at all.
00:52:09I love you.
00:52:39I love you.
00:52:54Crazy coincidence.
00:52:56Both of our moms are buried at the same place.
00:53:09I love you.
00:53:27Was there another woman?
00:53:31No.
00:53:32No, no.
00:53:35I mean, yes.
00:53:36Before you.
00:53:39But she means...
00:53:41...nothing to me now.
00:53:43You just...
00:53:44...keep a locket with a picture in it next to our bed?
00:53:46You were sleeping in the other room, so I put it in there...
00:53:49...to forget.
00:53:51Wait, why were we sleeping in separate rooms?
00:53:54I was...
00:53:56...a very different man...
00:53:59...before I met you.
00:54:02But you changed me.
00:54:04You made me better.
00:54:09But I don't...
00:54:10...think you ever really believed that I changed.
00:54:16So how am I supposed to believe you now?
00:54:19There was love...
00:54:20...between us.
00:54:22Really.
00:54:24And...
00:54:26...maybe if I start what we needed...
00:54:28...it was start over.
00:54:30Start over?
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:33As in?
00:54:34Forget the past.
00:54:36Date.
00:54:38You can take me for a test drive.
00:54:40See what you think.
00:54:42Well...
00:54:44...I don't have a lot going on these days.
00:54:47Or if I do, I don't remember.
00:54:51I could go for a date.
00:54:54You free Saturday?
00:54:55Friday?
00:55:07Finally.
00:55:08I was beginning to think you forgot about me.
00:55:11Listen to me.
00:55:12Look at me.
00:55:15It's over, Claudia.
00:55:19Seriously?
00:55:21Because of her?
00:55:22No, regardless of her.
00:55:25Okay? It's over.
00:55:28You're not right for me.
00:55:29You're not what I want.
00:55:32You're starting to sound like your father.
00:55:38Oh my God.
00:55:40It's your father, isn't it?
00:55:42Who else could convince you into making a decision this...
00:55:46...predictable?
00:55:47Look, tell yourself whatever you need.
00:55:49Okay, Claudia?
00:55:50As long as I never see you around here again.
00:55:55Okay.
00:56:00And for what it's worth...
00:56:05...I love her.
00:56:09I'll get to the bottom of this, Savior.
00:56:12I know you.
00:56:14I see you.
00:56:16And...
00:56:18...you remember...
00:56:19...that it doesn't get any better than me.
00:56:26Angela?
00:56:28Angela Carter.
00:56:32I'm sorry.
00:56:33I got in a bad accident recently and...
00:56:36...my memories...
00:56:38...it hasn't been the best.
00:56:40Of course.
00:56:42Your plane crash was all over the news.
00:56:45I'm Jacques.
00:56:46We were in school together.
00:56:49Professor Hardy's anthro class at Harvard.
00:56:52Professor Hardy's anthro class at Harvard.
00:56:57I went to Harvard?
00:56:59Oh, you really did lose your memory.
00:57:02I'm so sorry.
00:57:03That must be so confusing.
00:57:05It is.
00:57:06I mean, mostly I'm meeting everybody for the first time.
00:57:11Including my mother.
00:57:13I'm sorry to hear that.
00:57:19Who are you here for?
00:57:20My aunt.
00:57:22But I think you might need these more.
00:57:31So how exactly did we know each other?
00:57:33Besides the anthropology class.
00:57:37Well, Angela...
00:57:38Angela?
00:57:49But don't worry.
00:57:50You dumped me very quickly.
00:57:52Oh, I'm sorry.
00:57:55It's alright.
00:57:56I was hoping I'd see you again.
00:57:58But it seems I'm a little too late.
00:58:02Xavier Knight?
00:58:05Yes.
00:58:06Xavier Knight.
00:58:08How's that going?
00:58:09Good.
00:58:12Confusing.
00:58:14I'm not surprised.
00:58:15I mean, he doesn't exactly seem like your type.
00:58:19What exactly is my type?
00:58:25Take my number.
00:58:26See me next week.
00:58:27And I'll tell you everything that I remember about you.
00:58:34About us.
00:58:36Okay, Jacques.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:51Wow.
00:58:55I was going to say the same thing.
00:59:09My dad says hello.
00:59:12He's excited to see you at the gala.
00:59:14Oh my god, I almost let myself forget about that.
00:59:18Did we do this kind of thing a lot before?
00:59:24Honestly, uh, no.
00:59:29But I'm trying to be more romantic.
00:59:35Is it working?
00:59:36Is it working?
00:59:39Well, as handsome as you are,
00:59:43the music's a little loud.
00:59:46I hate roses.
00:59:49And I don't know what to say to you.
01:00:07Now, what was that?
01:00:11About me being handsome?
01:00:15Well, at least you're open to feedback.
01:00:18More than you know.
01:00:21Let's start with getting to know you first.
01:00:24Then I can start on fixing you up.
01:00:25Then I can start on fixing you up.
01:00:34Oh, I ran into a friend from college at the cemetery today.
01:00:37Oh yeah?
01:00:38Yeah, yeah, it was really nice to see him actually.
01:00:41Seems like he can help me fill in some blanks.
01:00:43He?
01:00:50It might not be safest to get close to strangers.
01:00:56Well, he's not a stranger.
01:00:58Still, I mean, you're pretty vulnerable.
01:01:03Someone could take advantage of you.
01:01:05Maybe tell you something that isn't true.
01:01:11Like what?
01:01:13I've no idea.
01:01:19I just thought we agreed that we were forgetting the past.
01:01:24But that doesn't include everyone in my past.
01:01:32Are you normally this jealous?
01:01:34I'm not jealous.
01:01:36So, no.
01:01:38I don't want you seeing that man again.
01:01:40And I don't want you telling me what to do.
01:01:53I mean, you were too nice.
01:01:55I mean, he was hanging upside down for an hour before you made me gut him down.
01:01:59An hour?
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:01I mean, hey, it was good for him, right?
01:02:03Like, keep the circulation flowing.
01:02:05And plus, come on, he deserved it for the way he was touching you like that.
01:02:09You are just a knight in shining armor.
01:02:12More like a knight in a crimson hoodie.
01:02:14But I'll take it.
01:02:16So why did we break up?
01:02:19I just wasn't ready to handle you.
01:02:25Oh?
01:02:27You were so put together.
01:02:29I mean, you were so perfect.
01:02:31I just, I couldn't keep up.
01:02:34Plus, I mean, I can't believe you got with Xavier freaking Knight.
01:02:39Why?
01:02:40Come on.
01:02:41Xavier Knight, the man responsible for turning that charity poker event into strip poker?
01:02:47Wait, what?
01:02:49I...
01:02:52I had no idea that.
01:02:54That must have been a while ago.
01:02:56Ah, yes.
01:02:57The deep past of six months ago.
01:03:04You know he was engaged before, right?
01:03:07Right.
01:03:08Yeah, that, um, Claudia lady.
01:03:11But he says he hasn't seen her since she left him at the altar.
01:03:17Angela, it was all over the tabloids.
01:03:22What?
01:03:24Claudia was at your wedding.
01:03:27She was there with you both.
01:03:29Right before your accident.
01:03:43Am I interrupting something?
01:03:44No, would you like to join?
01:03:46This is Jacques, my friend from college.
01:03:49I was actually just leaving.
01:03:51No, you weren't.
01:03:52No, no, no, it's fine.
01:03:53Angela, it was really great seeing you.
01:03:56Xavier, nice to meet you.
01:04:10Is there something you want to tell me?
01:04:13Like...
01:04:15Like why you're drinking wine with a man in my home?
01:04:20Our home.
01:04:25Right.
01:04:27You're right.
01:04:32You're right.
01:04:33You're always right, huh?
01:04:37You've been lying to me.
01:04:40What do you mean?
01:04:41Claudia?
01:04:43She was at our wedding.
01:04:44I thought you weren't in touch with her anymore.
01:04:46No, we weren't.
01:04:48Okay, she showed up to our wedding like a maniac.
01:04:50I told her to leave.
01:04:52She made a move on me, and you saw.
01:04:54I tried to explain, but you were so hurt.
01:04:59You wouldn't believe that the only thing I was thinking about that day
01:05:03was how happy I was to be married to you.
01:05:08Angela.
01:05:10Look into my eyes.
01:05:12Can't you see that I'm telling you the truth?
01:05:17Honestly, Xavier?
01:05:20I think you're only telling me part of it.
01:05:29I'm so sorry about the other day.
01:05:32Oh, not at all. It's fine.
01:05:35Is everything alright between the two of you?
01:05:38I don't know.
01:05:40I mean, I can't tell if I'm losing my memory or my mind.
01:05:45Well, are you remembering anything yet?
01:05:50Sometimes I have these flashes.
01:05:54Like little photographs.
01:05:57My dad in the hospital.
01:05:59Walking in this park.
01:06:03Xavier.
01:06:05Are they triggered by anything in particular?
01:06:10Maybe.
01:06:12When I go to familiar places.
01:06:15Or moments of intense emotion or when I'm running.
01:06:18I don't know. It's kind of hard to predict.
01:06:23Well, maybe we can try to trigger them.
01:06:28See if you remember me.
01:06:35Angela.
01:06:45Jack, thank you. I...
01:06:48You're married.
01:06:52Yeah, I guess I am.
01:06:55And even though I don't remember it, I don't think I'm ready to give it up.
01:07:00I'm sorry if I overstepped.
01:07:04I hope I didn't ruin anything.
01:07:06I would still love to be friends though.
01:07:08So would I.
01:07:12Well, I gotta get going. Xavier says he has something planned for us tonight.
01:07:16Hey, well enjoy.
01:07:35I think she's starting to like me.
01:07:54Xavier?
01:07:55Hello, darling. This is Kiki.
01:07:58She's going to teach us how to dance.
01:08:00This is Kiki.
01:08:01She's going to teach us how to dance.
01:08:04Xavier, no, I really need to talk to you.
01:08:08And I can't dance, so...
01:08:11That's what Kiki's here for.
01:08:16Just give me a sec, Kiki.
01:08:22Angela, I know I fucked up.
01:08:25But the gala's in a few days.
01:08:27And we have to dance together there, so I thought maybe this could be fun.
01:08:31We really need to talk.
01:08:35I saw Xerox today, and...
01:08:37What did he tell you?
01:08:39He didn't tell me anything, but...
01:08:41Enough talking.
01:08:44Let's dance.
01:08:47Dancing is about letting your bodies talk to each other.
01:08:50Xavier, put your hand on Angela's waist.
01:08:54Now take her hand.
01:08:58Good.
01:09:03Your bodies are saying strangers, not husband and wife.
01:09:07Pull her in closer, Xavier.
01:09:11Yes.
01:09:14Now.
01:09:28Good.
01:09:38Bright eyes, big smile.
01:09:40Okay, I can do this.
01:09:42Dancing is about trust.
01:09:44Angela, you have to let your partner lead.
01:09:48I'm finding it kind of difficult.
01:09:53Angela, I'm sorry about the Claudia thing. I should have told you.
01:09:58Please, just trust me.
01:10:03Just try.
01:10:07Surrender.
01:10:09I've got you, Angela.
01:10:28And with you, I can be better.
01:10:33I have been better.
01:10:36Is it over with that woman?
01:10:39With Claudia?
01:10:40Yes.
01:10:42Forever?
01:10:44Yeah.
01:10:49It's just you.
01:10:57It's just you.
01:11:27It's just you.
01:11:58I'm sorry.
01:12:01I'll get it.
01:12:05Don't move.
01:12:27What are you doing here?
01:12:29I just came to check on Angela.
01:12:32Check on her?
01:12:34Who the fuck do you think you are?
01:12:36Look, I just heard a little something that I think she should know.
01:12:40Oh yeah? What's that?
01:12:41Well, I heard a little rumor that your father brokered an arrangement between the two of you.
01:12:52I don't know what you're talking about.
01:12:55Does she know?
01:12:58You better stop talking.
01:12:59She deserves to know the truth.
01:13:01Stop talking.
01:13:03Sager, stop!
01:13:07You're too good for her.
01:13:09Get the fuck out of my house.
01:13:12Go, Jacques.
01:13:13I'll see you at the gala.
01:13:15Stopped it, it meant nothing, and he understands we are just friends.
01:13:18Friends?
01:13:20Back to bed.
01:13:21Got it?
01:13:22Hey!
01:13:23What's up this morning?
01:13:24I just wanted to check on you, make sure you're feeling alright.
01:13:26She's doing great.
01:13:27Ed, Xavier.
01:13:29The thing is, do we have to tell her?
01:13:34I mean, she's so happy.
01:13:35You heard her.
01:13:37Why do you stabilize her like this?
01:13:39Why not let her believe in a reality where things are good and pure?
01:13:43You mean a reality where you are good and pure.
01:13:46You can't rewrite history, Xavier.
01:13:49You have to tell her tonight, or I will.
01:13:54Xavier, it's time for a quick photo op, then the dance.
01:13:58Yeah, coming.
01:14:01Just let me get through this.
01:14:05Anything for the company, right?
01:14:20How are you holding up?
01:14:23Look at this.
01:14:28Angela, wait.
01:14:31I've never seen him in my life.
01:14:33Oh my God.
01:14:34Who are you? Why would you do this?
01:14:36To get you away from him.
01:14:39Why?
01:14:40It wasn't my idea.
01:14:41Whose idea was it?
01:14:44Tell me right now.
01:14:46I don't know, Xavier.
01:14:48Who are you?
01:14:49Who is this Angela Carter who's about to receive Eisenhower's investment in Knight Enterprise?
01:14:54Okay.
01:14:55Or you will regret it.
01:14:57I would be.
01:14:59But then slowly, as our expectations faded...
01:15:03I have...
01:15:07I will be taking over as the CEO of Knight.
01:15:11Which you did tonight.
01:15:14But I would understand if you didn't want to stay.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:30I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
01:15:32I'm kidding.
01:15:33It's too soon.
