00:00:00Hey, what the hell are you doing kissing this guy?
00:00:06How could you?
00:00:08If you want to see the live drama, come with me now.
00:00:14We just wanted you to understand what it's like when the person who's closest to you turns their back on you.
00:00:19History always repeats itself.
00:00:22I can't believe I'm at risk of being exposed here, Ben.
00:00:25You should be more careful.
00:00:30I have proof, and you can show your girlfriend.
00:00:41You choose me!
00:00:50So we have to make sure that we are one step ahead of them at all times.
00:00:54We will make them pay.
00:01:00We will make you ride around like a wrecking baby right around.
00:01:03We will know you're scared.
00:01:05We will make you ride around like a wrecking baby right around.
00:01:10Good morning, handsome.
00:01:24Good morning, beautiful.
00:01:26How did you sleep?
00:01:28I was having the best dream until you woke me up with that amazing kiss.
00:01:31Well, I promise I'll make your reality even better.
00:01:37Hi.
00:01:38Hi.
00:01:39What's the plan for today?
00:01:41Well, I was thinking a picnic in the park.
00:01:43Ooh, sounds perfect.
00:01:45What do you want to bring?
00:01:46Um, some fresh vegetables, some sandwiches, and of course, your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookies.
00:01:55You know the key to my heart.
00:01:57I sure hope.
00:01:58Now, help me pack the picnic, and we can go have a warm meal in the outdoors.
00:02:07This is going to be a perfect day, Ben.
00:02:09Absolutely.
00:02:10Every day is perfect when it's with you.
00:02:12I'm so glad I have you in my life.
00:02:14Me too.
00:02:15You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:02:17You make me feel so special.
00:02:18It's because you are special, and you deserve all the happiness in the world.
00:02:24I love days like this.
00:02:26Just you and me.
00:02:28Me too.
00:02:29That's perfect.
00:02:40Ben.
00:02:43You're awake?
00:02:44What's wrong?
00:02:45Yeah, I just, um, I couldn't help but think about the text you received yesterday.
00:02:52Who was it from?
00:02:53Oh.
00:02:55That?
00:02:57It was just a friend.
00:02:59We were just catching up.
00:03:01Nothing important.
00:03:03You just, like, seemed so happy when you received it.
00:03:06It kind of made me wonder.
00:03:10Yeah, I'm sorry, babe.
00:03:11I didn't mean to worry you.
00:03:14I'll be more open with you in the future, I promise.
00:03:17Okay.
00:03:18Okay.
00:03:48Okay.
00:04:18Hey, hon, what's up?
00:04:48Hey, um, I'm okay.
00:04:52Ava, I can tell by your voice that something's going on.
00:04:55Just, just tell me what's happened.
00:04:57I found something out about that.
00:05:01Something that's tearing me apart.
00:05:03It's been unfaithful, Sarah.
00:05:06I can't believe it.
00:05:07That, I'm so sorry.
00:05:09That's incredibly painful.
00:05:12It's just, but at least you don't need to face it alone now.
00:05:15Do you want to talk about it?
00:05:18I don't know what to do, Sarah.
00:05:20I love him, but I just can't ignore this.
00:05:23It's, look, we'll figure it out together, okay?
00:05:26Just, you don't need to make any decisions.
00:05:27Just take the time to process it and just know I'm here for you no matter what happens, okay?
00:05:34Okay.
00:05:34Okay, thank you.
00:05:35Okay, I love you, hon.
00:05:37Okay, bye.
00:05:38Bye.
00:05:39Bye.
00:05:39Hey, I'm Max.
00:05:54Hi, I'm Eva.
00:05:56Hi, Eva.
00:05:59So, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this all along?
00:06:04Just trying to relax.
00:06:06Tough day at the office?
00:06:12Something like that.
00:06:14How about I buy you another drink?
00:06:19Sure.
00:06:20Why not?
00:06:28So, what do you like to do for fun, Eva?
00:06:32Well, I have not had a lot of fun lately.
00:06:34But, when I do, I like painting, going hiking.
00:06:39Hiking?
00:06:41You know what?
00:06:41I like hiking, too.
00:06:43We should go on a hike sometime.
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:48That'd be nice.
00:06:49It's been a long time since I've been out in nature.
00:06:51Oh, I'm not going to lie, Eva.
00:07:01It's a shame to hide that.
00:07:05You seem really sweet.
00:07:07Enjoy talking to you.
00:07:12So, what's on your mind, Eva?
00:07:13You seem like you need someone to talk to.
00:07:18It's my boyfriend.
00:07:19I found out he's cheating on me.
00:07:23I found these texts yesterday.
00:07:26I can't get it off my mind.
00:07:29Hey.
00:07:31I'm sorry, Eva.
00:07:33No one deserves to be treated that way.
00:07:35I've been together for years.
00:07:42I don't know why I would do this.
00:07:45Sometimes people change.
00:07:47You don't see it coming.
00:07:49You just change.
00:07:53But I'm here.
00:07:55If you need it.
00:08:02I appreciate you listening.
00:08:04You're a true friend.
00:08:08What are you going to do about that?
00:08:11Honestly, I don't know.
00:08:14I haven't figured it out yet.
00:08:15Do whatever you need.
00:08:20Take your time if you want to.
00:08:23But I am here if you need it.
00:08:28I appreciate that more than you know.
00:08:35Eva!
00:08:35What the hell is going on here?
00:08:38Tell me what you think.
00:08:40Oh, I think I know exactly what's going on.
00:08:41You're cheating on me, huh?
00:08:42I'm not cheating on you.
00:08:43What the hell are you doing kissing this guy?
00:08:45He's just a friend.
00:08:46A friend?
00:08:46I think he's a little bit more than just a friend.
00:08:49Hey.
00:08:49Hey, back off, buddy.
00:08:50She's mine.
00:08:51She's not yours to own.
00:08:52Let go of me, Ben.
00:08:56Leave her alone.
00:08:56You kidding me?
00:08:58Yeah?
00:08:59Ben!
00:09:01Are you okay?
00:09:02Let's go.
00:09:03Let go of me.
00:09:04Are you kidding me for this guy?
00:09:06Let's go.
00:09:07No!
00:09:11Leave her alone.
00:09:12It's fine.
00:09:13Let me.
00:09:15Hey, what's going on here?
00:09:17This guy assaulted me.
00:09:18Sir, keep your distance.
00:09:21Are you okay?
00:09:22Yeah, I'm fine.
00:09:25Are we calm here?
00:09:27I'm really fine.
00:09:29What's your name, sir?
00:09:32Ben Smith.
00:09:34Is your name on?
00:09:35Ava Jones.
00:09:37Can you please tell me what happened here?
00:09:41Ben slums it in.
00:09:43Ava.
00:09:45Would you like to press charges?
00:09:48Do you have a witness?
00:09:50Yes, I would.
00:09:51Sir, turn around.
00:09:52Ava.
00:09:53Hands behind your back.
00:09:55Ava.
00:09:55Just...
00:09:55Ava, look at me.
00:09:59Are you kidding me?
00:10:00Are you okay?
00:10:07No safety.
00:10:09Oh, I'm just glad you're okay.
00:10:18I'm glad I agreed to hanging out today.
00:10:20You know, I needed this.
00:10:21See, I told you.
00:10:22Sometimes the change of scenery helps.
00:10:25It does.
00:10:26So, tell me a little bit about yourself.
00:10:30Well, there's not really a lot to say.
00:10:33I'm a software developer by day and aspiring musician by night.
00:10:40And I like hiking, long walks on the beach.
00:10:44Who doesn't?
00:10:45And I'm not a very good cook.
00:10:49You're not a very good cook.
00:10:52That's a rare thing to admit.
00:10:54So, all of this is takeout?
00:10:57Guilty as charged.
00:10:59Well, it looks delicious.
00:11:01Tell me a bit about yourself.
00:11:03I'm in marketing.
00:11:05I'm writing a novel.
00:11:06And I have a little kitty named Whiskers.
00:11:10That's amazing.
00:11:11What's the novel about?
00:11:11It's about a love story, but not the kind you'd expect.
00:11:16So, it's about taking chances, embracing change, and finding love unexpectedly.
00:11:22Really?
00:11:22That sounds amazing.
00:11:25I would love to read it one day.
00:11:27Yeah, definitely.
00:11:29Thanks for lunch.
00:11:30It looks great.
00:11:33Cheers.
00:11:34Cheers.
00:11:41Hello.
00:11:49Hey.
00:11:50What happened?
00:11:53I might have put my ankle playing basketball.
00:11:57Are you okay?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:11:59Yeah, I'm okay.
00:12:01Oh, does it hurt a lot?
00:12:03Um, not too bad.
00:12:05You got it?
00:12:15Yeah.
00:12:15Okay.
00:12:21How's the healing been going?
00:12:23Ah, it's been coming along.
00:12:26The doctor says if I take it easy, I should be off on my crutches in no time.
00:12:31That's good news.
00:12:31And, you know, how well you're taking care of me, it should be pretty quick.
00:12:38Don't get used to it.
00:12:40Ah, you love it.
00:12:41I do.
00:12:43So, this looks great.
00:12:45Are you working on that painting you were telling me about?
00:12:49Where is it?
00:12:50Oh, yeah.
00:12:50It's just in the back.
00:12:51I'm still working on it.
00:12:52But, you know, it's nothing compared to the real you.
00:12:57You always know what to say to me.
00:12:59I try.
00:12:59I love you, Ava.
00:13:07I love you, too.
00:13:14What's your favorite dessert?
00:13:18Sorry, just in a second.
00:13:19Hello?
00:13:25Ava Jones?
00:13:27Yes?
00:13:29This is Officer Clinton.
00:13:30I'm calling from the police department.
00:13:32What's wrong?
00:13:34I'm calling you because we have arrested your friend Sarah for driving under the influence.
00:13:40Sarah?
00:13:40Yes.
00:13:42She was involved in a hit-and-run accident.
00:13:46What?
00:13:46Is she okay?
00:13:49She's fine.
00:13:50But the other driver is in critical condition.
00:13:53Oh, my God.
00:13:56We need you to come down to the hospital.
00:13:59You are listed as her emergency contact.
00:14:01Yes, of course.
00:14:14Excuse me.
00:14:15Hi.
00:14:16I'm here to see Sarah Burns.
00:14:18Okay.
00:14:18And what's her name?
00:14:20Ava Jones.
00:14:21I'm her emergency contact.
00:14:23Great.
00:14:24Well, follow me.
00:14:28Sarah?
00:14:30Sarah?
00:14:30Hmm?
00:14:31How are you feeling?
00:14:33Oh, dizzy.
00:14:36And has your appetite improved?
00:14:38Oh, no.
00:14:39I don't want to eat.
00:14:40Please don't give me food.
00:14:41Ava?
00:14:45Hey.
00:14:46Hi.
00:14:49What am I doing here?
00:14:52You, uh, got a DUI, Sarah.
00:14:56Seriously?
00:14:57God.
00:14:58You better get help.
00:15:00I know.
00:15:03I love you.
00:15:06Can I, um, stay with her?
00:15:09Of course.
00:15:11I'm not going to leave you.
00:15:13Thank you, Ava.
00:15:15I really miss things out big time.
00:15:18Okay?
00:15:18We'll get through this together.
00:15:39Hello?
00:15:40Hey.
00:15:41How are you?
00:15:43Hey.
00:15:43I'm okay.
00:15:45I miss you.
00:15:47I miss you, too.
00:15:49Is your friend okay?
00:15:52Yeah.
00:15:53She's doing better now.
00:15:55I'm glad.
00:15:57I'm going to come over to the hospital and see you, okay?
00:15:59Okay.
00:16:02I'll see you soon.

00:16:26Okay, what do you want?
00:16:28I want to talk to you about Sarah.
00:16:30Max, I need to talk to you about Sarah.
00:16:33What are you talking about?
00:16:35Sarah's the same girl for whom Ben cheated on Ava.
00:16:38They've been having an affair for some time.
00:16:41Are you serious?
00:16:43I have proof.
00:16:45And you can show your girlfriend, but at the right time.
00:16:49This changes...
00:16:51This changes everything.
00:16:53Ava's already been heard enough.
00:16:56I need to talk to Sarah.
00:16:57Be careful, Max.
00:16:58Sarah's not to be underestimated.
00:17:01Okay.
00:17:18You're early.
00:17:19Well, I couldn't wait to see her, so...
00:17:21Oh.
00:17:30Favorite.
00:17:32You know always...
00:17:34That'll make me feel special, don't you, Ava?
00:17:36I appreciate you so much.
00:17:41You know, you've helped me through some really tough times.
00:17:44Hey, I appreciate you.
00:17:47And I...
00:17:48And I cherish all these moments we get together.
00:17:53You don't even know.
00:17:54You okay?
00:17:55Yeah, it's nothing.
00:17:55I've just been dealing with a few personal things lately.
00:18:03Okay.
00:18:04I know you can always talk to me when you're ready.
00:18:08I appreciate that.
00:18:13Take care.
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:15Let's take care.
00:18:16Looks amazing.
00:18:26Hey, it's Max.
00:18:27We need to talk.
00:18:29Yes, we need to talk.
00:18:30Hurry up, okay?
00:18:32I'll see you there.
00:18:32Max.
00:18:43Good to see you again.
00:18:44Likewise, Rick.
00:18:46You said you had something to tell me about Sarah?
00:18:56Max.
00:18:57I've been through the same nightmare.
00:19:00Sarah cheated on me, too.
00:19:01She's been playing games with me and her best friend, Ava.
00:19:06You need to protect your girl.
00:19:08Are you serious?
00:19:10I have proof.
00:19:12Just like with Ben.
00:19:13She's been juggling both of us for her game.
00:19:18I don't know what to do.
00:19:19I...
00:19:20I love her.
00:19:25If you want to get revenge for your girlfriend, Max,
00:19:27I'm with you.
00:19:28We can expose her and make her pay for what she's done.

00:24:04yeah
00:24:08yeah
00:24:13Well, yeah, Sarah, it was great catching up, but I have to go now.
00:24:23You just got here.
00:24:25I know, but I have something to take care of.
00:24:37I tolerated Ben's betrayal, but Sarah, my childhood misfriend, how could she do this
00:24:43to me? They think they can get away with causing me pain like this? I will make them pay for
00:24:48their sins. Ava, please listen to me. We can figure something out. We don't have to resort
00:24:54to violence. We can figure something out, okay? Just listen to me. It's okay.
00:25:01Ava.
00:25:13Ava, I know you're in a lot of pain right now, and I can't even imagine how horrible
00:25:26it feels.
00:25:29If you resort to this plan of yours, there's a good chance you could end up in jail, and
00:25:34I couldn't live without myself if I saw that. Let's forget about Ben and Sarah, and let's
00:25:41just focus on us. We don't need them.
00:25:46Yeah. I definitely don't want to go to jail, and I don't want them to see me suffer, but
00:25:52Ben and Sarah have to pay for what they've done. And then, and only then, can I think about
00:26:04our future together. Are you with me?
00:26:11You don't even have to ask. I am with you.
00:26:14You don't even have to ask.
00:26:27Hello?
00:26:31Yes, officer. This is Max Cornwell.
00:26:37Yeah?
00:26:38Okay. Just, hold on one minute. It's about Ben. It- It-
00:26:51What's going on, officer?
00:26:53Just wanted to let you know that Ben was released on bail, and we recommend that you guys are
00:26:58careful since it's been threatening to get revenge on you.
00:27:01I appreciate your concern, officer, but we'll handle this on our own.
00:27:08We need to hurry up on this plan. Ben needs to pay for all the stress he's putting us through.
00:27:18Let's do it.
00:27:31Hey.
00:27:33You're up with the man from the hospital, aren't you?
00:27:35Ava meet Rick, Sarah's ex-boyfriend.
00:27:40Let's continue this conversation inside.
00:27:49Sarah never mentioned you.
00:27:53How many times did she lie to me?
00:27:55I feel like such a fool blindly trusting her.
00:28:03Sarah wanted to keep our relationship a secret. That's why you've never heard of me.
00:28:08I'm afraid. Just like Sarah betrayed me.
00:28:25She was never a true friend.
00:28:28That's right.
00:28:29It's time for her hate for the cocksquatches.
00:28:34But why would she lie about you?
00:28:37I know this is a lot to take in.
00:28:41But right now we need to focus on the plan.
00:28:45You were both portrayed by Sarah.
00:28:49So we have to make sure that we are one step ahead of them at all times.
00:28:53We will make them pay.
00:28:57We will.
00:28:59Max is right.
00:29:01And we need to work together to make the plan a success.
00:29:03Trust me, this plan is foolproof. She won't know what hit her.
00:29:10Hey.
00:29:12She'll get what she deserves.
00:29:14I'm in.
00:29:16Let's do this.
00:29:17I'm starving. What about you?
00:29:29Honestly, it's been such a long and ventful day I've lost my appetite.
00:29:35Nothing could tempt you to eat.
00:29:41What's on the menu?
00:29:43Something sweet.
00:29:47Unforgettable?
00:29:49Well, for that Abe, I'm always hungry.
00:30:06I just need your help.
00:30:08Don't make me do something we'll both regret.
00:30:17Sarah, I need to talk to you about Sarah.
00:30:24Yeah, what?
00:30:26Ava cheated on me.
00:30:28She's been working with Max.
00:30:29Seriously?
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31Why?
00:30:32Why?
00:30:33She found out I cheated on her.
00:30:35Sarah?
00:30:36She does not know the girl is me, does she?
00:30:38Ava's been trying to figure out who I cheated with.
00:30:40It's only a matter of time before she discovers a clue.
00:30:42I can't believe I'm at risk of being exposed here.
00:30:46Ben, you should have been more careful.
00:30:48I should have been more careful?
00:30:49Yes, you should have.
00:30:50You were just as involved as I was.
00:30:51I never wanted to come to this.
00:30:52I did not want to hurt Ava.
00:30:54Ben, this is all your fault.
00:30:56What do you expect us to do now, Sarah?
00:30:57We can't change the past.
00:30:58Can't believe this.
00:30:59You know, she really did trust me.
00:31:02But she hasn't confronted me that you're unfair yet, though.
00:31:07So don't think she knows the truth.
00:31:11And I'm not risking my relationship with her.
00:31:14So you go fix everything, okay?
00:31:16Okay.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:18Doors that way.
00:31:19Leave.
00:31:20I made this mess.
00:31:21I'll clean it up.
00:31:22What do you want?
00:31:49Ava, I wanted to...
00:31:52apologize.
00:31:54I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:31:56I just wasn't thinking and I got carried away and...
00:32:02I'm sorry.
00:32:06I can't believe you're doing this.
00:32:10You have no idea how much you've hurt me.
00:32:17I trusted you.
00:32:19And I loved you.
00:32:22You broke my heart.
00:32:29What am I supposed to do now?
00:32:33Ava, I'm not asking you to forgive me.
00:32:36I just want to let you know how sorry I am.
00:32:38How am I supposed to forgive you after how much you betrayed me?
00:32:51I think you should do it.
00:32:52What the fuck is he doing here?
00:32:53Are you guys officially together now?
00:33:06Oh no, I'm so happy you found a better partner than me, Ava, really.
00:33:08Yeah?
00:33:09Yeah?
00:33:10Yeah.
00:33:11You have no say over who I see or I don't see!
00:33:23What do you think, Max?
00:33:24Do you think I should forgive him?
00:33:25Well, Ava, forgiveness is the first step to healing.
00:33:39And if Ben is truly sorry, then you can forgive him.
00:33:44But it's only because we're moving on with our lives.
00:33:48I am sorry, Ava.
00:33:50I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
00:33:53I'll try to forgive you.
00:33:58But only because your betrayal led me to Max, the love of my life.
00:34:11Take care of her, Max.
00:34:13Don't make the same mistakes I did.
00:34:15I will, Ben.
00:34:17You know why?
00:34:18Because I'm not a bad person like you.
00:34:21I would never, ever hurt Ava the way you did.
00:34:28Let's go.
00:34:33Shh.
00:34:34It's okay.
00:34:38Thank you for everything.
00:34:41You deserve everything, Ava.
00:34:43You deserve all that happiness in the world.
00:34:47And I'm gonna make sure you get that.
00:34:52Hey, look at me.
00:34:54If you really, truly want to forgive Ben, it's okay.
00:34:57We can stop the plan.
00:34:58No.
00:34:59I'm not gonna forgive him that easily after what he did to me.
00:35:03Yeah.
00:35:06What's the next step?
00:35:08Well, for now we wait.
00:35:12We let them think they've won.
00:35:14I don't understand, Ben.
00:35:15How could Ava forgive you so easily?
00:35:29She must be up to something.
00:35:31She is on the top to just forgive, I mean, and forget.
00:35:35It's just, I think you need to be cautious.
00:35:38I know Ava, okay?
00:35:39She won't do any harm to us.
00:35:42I can't believe I did this to her.
00:35:46I guess I just really love you, Sarah.
00:35:49I love you too.
00:35:51It's just, I just, I have a bad feeling about this.
00:35:56She just won't let things slide like that.
00:35:59No, you're right.
00:36:01We need to be ready for whatever she's planning.
00:36:04But I still don't think she's a threat because she's moved on with this Max guy.
00:36:07We can't underestimate her, okay?
00:36:09We need to stay one step ahead.
00:36:10We don't know Max.
00:36:11He's a mystery.
00:36:12This all started with one mistake, and it was just become one big tangled mess.
00:36:17We will untangle it then, meaning we have to.
00:36:27Sarah, can you come to my office please?
00:36:30Yeah, just a second.
00:36:36What's up?
00:36:37I want you to handle this project.
00:36:38I know you're more than capable, and I believe in you.
00:36:43Thank you, Ava.
00:36:45I will not let you down.
00:36:53Nathan!
00:36:54Hi, you want to see me?
00:36:55Yes, go.
00:36:56Thanks, mate. Thanks for coming and just take a seat.
00:36:57Absolutely.
00:36:58Just one moment, please.
00:37:08Ben, I've been watching you work closely, and I'm impressed.
00:37:12In fact, I'm very impressed.
00:37:15Thank you very much, Nathan.
00:37:16I'm honored to hear that.
00:37:18Wonderful.
00:37:20Ben, because of that, I've decided to promote you.
00:37:22Your hard work and your dedication deserves recognition.
00:37:28I don't know what to say.
00:37:31Thank you, Nathan.
00:37:33Thanks, mate.
00:37:34Ben.
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:36I'll see a bright future for you here at this company.
00:37:37Absolutely.
00:37:38Thank you so much.
00:37:39Cheers.
00:37:45You won't believe it.
00:37:46Ava just entrusted me with a new project at work.
00:37:48Oh, I can't thank her enough for this opportunity.
00:37:50It's amazing, Sarah.
00:37:51Congratulations.
00:37:52I know.
00:37:53And I hear that we have something else to celebrate for as well.
00:37:56What's that?
00:37:57Your new promotion at work.
00:38:00We're both on a roll.
00:38:01Well done.
00:38:03Yeah.
00:38:18Did you get the same message?
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:20Yeah, it looks like we're both going to this meeting tomorrow.
00:38:23Hmm.
00:38:26Okay.
00:38:33Hey.
00:38:34There you go.
00:38:45Sarah.
00:38:47I have to say, I am thrilled about how this project is shaping up.
00:38:50We've got a strong foundation.
00:38:51I know.
00:38:52Our synergy is undeniable, and I believe we can tackle anything that comes our way.
00:38:57We've learned from our past, and we're not letting anything hold us back this time.
00:39:01Mm-hmm.
00:39:02That's right.
00:39:03Our shared vision and commitment will make this project a remarkable success.
00:39:07Mm-hmm.
00:39:10You've received the invite to go over the details with our partnering firm?
00:39:14Yeah, absolutely.
00:39:16I found out just yesterday that Ben is working for that firm.
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:22He switched jobs after our breakup.
00:39:24Mm-hmm.
00:39:25You know, I really admire you for being such a professional woman.
00:39:32Like, despite all the wrongs Ben has done, you seem to be quite forgiving and willing to work with him.
00:39:38Well, business is business.
00:39:40Plus, I've moved on with my new life anyway.
00:39:43Whatever was between Ben and I is in the past.
00:39:46You know, it doesn't matter at all.
00:39:47Mm-hmm.
00:39:48I just want to finish this project.
00:39:51Mrs. Spirit, you know, I will make sure that we are fully prepared for our meeting before we meet.
00:39:58Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if you and Ben dated.
00:40:02Yep.
00:40:03But knowing you, I think you probably have higher standards than Ben.
00:40:10Ava, I've only met Ben a couple of times, and you guys are still together, and I haven't heard from him since.
00:40:16Besides, I wouldn't go after my best friend's ex!
00:40:20Oh, uh, I heard that Ben's boss, Nathan, is from higher management.
00:40:36He's got a bright career ahead of him.
00:40:38I want you to cozy up to him and build a good relationship.
00:40:41Sure.
00:40:43Absolutely.
00:40:44Yep.
00:40:45Hi.
00:40:46Hi.
00:40:47Good to see you.
00:40:48Good to see you.
00:40:49Hello.
00:40:50Hi.
00:40:51How do you do?
00:40:52Good.
00:40:53It is great to meet you both.
00:40:54So, I'm here on behalf of my company to present the marketing ideas that we have come up with specifically for this project.
00:41:09Tell us more about it, Sarah.
00:41:11Well, Sarah, this all sounds very promising.
00:41:15I'm keen to hear more.
00:41:21Ben, I've decided I believe in Sarah's vision.
00:41:26I think our company is ready to make a strategic partnership with hers.
00:41:31Thank you, Nathan.
00:41:32We won't let you down.
00:41:33Wonderful.
00:41:34You know, Ben, Nathan's quite the catch.
00:41:43Handsome, successful.
00:41:45He's a great boss.
00:41:46Yeah, I noticed you two seem to be getting along quite well.
00:41:59Interesting.
00:42:04Oh, how well did that meeting go?
00:42:10I am so freaking pumped.
00:42:13Oh, this is going to be a real game changer for us.
00:42:16Yeah, I noticed you seem quite taken with Nathan.
00:42:19Don't be silly, Ben.
00:42:21He's just someone I saw in passing.
00:42:23You're the one I want to share my successes with.
00:42:25Well, it didn't feel like harmless banter to me.
00:42:28I'm just trying to figure out what's going on between us, Sarah.
00:42:33You know what's going on.
00:42:35We're working together, so we should focus on work.
00:42:38Privately, you are my boyfriend, and you should know how much you mean to me.
00:42:43So, um, are you going to be home tonight for dinner?
00:43:02I don't know, Ben.
00:43:03Have that late meeting with a client, remember?
00:43:05Right, yeah, I forgot about that.
00:43:06It's just things have been so tense between us lately, you know?
00:43:10No, I don't like it either.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:13Well, maybe we should just talk when we both get home tonight.
00:43:15Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
00:43:16We can't keep avoiding it.
00:43:17Okay.
00:43:18Alright.
00:43:19Bye.
00:43:20Bye.
00:43:25And the best part about it is, he came back inside just covered in water.
00:43:30You were so wet.
00:43:32It was so good.
00:43:34Sorry, did you interrupt all the fun?
00:43:36No, that's okay.
00:43:37I'm glad everybody's here.
00:43:38How are you?
00:43:39Good, how are you guys?
00:43:40Good, thank you.
00:43:41I'm keen to hear about this new marketing proposal.
00:43:43So, Sarah, whenever you're ready, yeah, share the details.
00:43:45Yes, sure.
00:43:46Thanks so much.
00:43:47By merging our resources, we can streamline the creative process and increase our efficiency.
00:43:51Mm-hmm.
00:43:52No, I love these numbers.
00:43:53I mean, this all looks very promising.
00:43:55I appreciate how much hard work you've put into this.
00:43:58Thank you, Nathan.
00:43:59We are excited about the potential here.
00:44:02I'll have to run it all past my team, but, uh, leaning towards getting this project greenlit.
00:44:12Yeah, yeah.
00:44:13Awesome.
00:44:14Yeah, we'll figure that out.
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:16Yeah.
00:44:17You know, Sarah, I'm really looking forward to working with you more closely on this project.
00:44:21Would you mind giving me your personal contact number?
00:44:23It'd just be easy to coordinate.
00:44:24Yeah, sure.
00:44:25Absolutely.
00:44:26Yeah.
00:44:27Thanks.
00:44:28You just gave him your number like that.
00:44:42Oh, it is a professional work setting.
00:44:44Get out of the way, Ben.
00:44:46Okay?
00:44:47We just need to be able to communicate effectively for this project.
00:44:51Yeah, I'm sorry, Sarah.
00:44:53I just, I can't help but get so jealous when I see you with him.
00:44:57You know I love you, okay?
00:45:04And no amount of attraction or admiration for anyone else is ever going to change that.
00:45:10Okay?
00:45:11This relationship, okay, it just means everything to me.
00:45:16It's Nathan.
00:45:29He wants to meet Ava tomorrow to discuss the project further.
00:45:33How cool is that?
00:45:34What did he say about meeting Ava?
00:45:35Schedule the meeting for tomorrow.
00:45:36Oh, yes!
00:45:37This is so good.
00:45:38I hope this won't complicate things.
00:45:40Ben?
00:45:41Don't worry, okay?
00:45:42I'll handle it professionally.
00:45:44Hi Nathan.
00:45:45Hi.
00:45:46Nice to finally meet you.
00:45:47You too.
00:45:48Oh, you've met my colleague Sarah before?
00:45:49I certainly have.
00:45:50She's told me a lot of great things about you and your work.
00:45:51Oh, thank you.
00:45:52We are excited to discuss the project with you.
00:45:53Wonderful.
00:45:54Let's get into it.
00:45:55Awesome.
00:45:56Have a seat.
00:45:57If we could open to page five here.
00:46:01All right.
00:46:02And we've got the mortgages and the neighborhood holding company.
00:46:05That sounds really boring.
00:46:06And so, I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and
00:46:09I'll go ahead and go ahead and see if we could open to page five here.
00:46:16All right.
00:46:17And we've got the mortgages and the neighborhood holding company.
00:46:22And that sounds really boring.
00:46:23And so, well, actually just skip that right over to page six.
00:46:28Yes.
00:46:29And we have the assignment of rents.
00:46:31We're actually going to take out a rent of $10,000 because you need that.
00:46:36Yeah, in order to live in Vancouver. It's about ten thousand dollars a month. Yeah, I've experienced that. It sucks, right?
00:46:42Yeah, and you're probably living inside of a shed, so
00:46:47Yeah, I just inquire
00:46:49Madam, yeah, madam about this this year. Yes
00:46:56Yeah, that's really good. Well, this sounds fantastic. Oh, sir

00:49:32Yeah, yeah, of course
00:49:34Come on
00:49:46Sarah this dinner tonight with Nathan
00:49:48Mm-hmm
00:49:50Just business, right?
00:49:52Of course, Ben. It's a professional setting
00:49:54We're just discussing the work project. That's all
00:49:58It's just dinner
00:50:12You know, sir, I must say I've
00:50:14Always admired women like you
00:50:16So strong and driven
00:50:18Thank you Nathan. You're too confident
00:50:21I'd go to great lengths to make someone like you happy
00:50:24That's really that's that's
00:50:27That's lovely
00:50:30You know, sir, I've always felt like there's been a bit of a connection between us
00:50:34Yeah, I felt that too. It's
00:50:37Just we're working together and I don't want to jeopardize our collaborations
00:50:44I understand your concerns, but
00:50:50Sometimes life surprises you in unexpected ways
00:51:14Sarah?
00:51:28Nathan?
00:51:30Yep, it's open
00:51:36Hey
00:51:36Hello
00:51:38I uh
00:51:39Sent Ben away on a business trip so we could I could come and visit you
00:51:42I think we make a fantastic team Sarah. I think working together is just the
00:51:47beginning. I believe so too. There is something about you that's quite
00:51:53intriguing. Maybe it's because I'm completely smitten with you. Hey I think
00:51:59you should save my number on your phone as my hubby. More of a personal touch you
00:52:04know. Okay, my hubby it is. Maybe we could spend some time away at my apartment this
00:52:10weekend. Just the two of us. Away from all the work stress. Okay, that sounds nice.
00:52:17Great, great. I'll see you soon then.
00:52:28Sarah, what's going on with you lately? You've been dissed in all day.
00:52:34Guess I should have planned that surprise date night earlier.
00:52:43What'd you say? I said you've been dissed in all day. Something on your mind, Sarah?
00:52:49Nothing, it's just... Ran into Nathan today. Nathan? Yeah. It's um, we had coffee. Caught up and it was,
00:53:00it was nice and he wants to be my friend. In what way? I don't know, Ben.
00:53:09Sarah, you know I trust you completely, but I can't help but feel a little bit worried when you mention
00:53:15it.
00:53:30Nathan, our relationship is important now.
00:53:39Nathan, our relationship is important to me.
00:54:04Sarah, who are you texting?
00:54:06It's just a work thing.
00:54:08It's nothing important.
00:54:09Sarah, you made it.
00:54:28Welcome to my little paradise.
00:54:29Did you hear that?
00:54:42Sounded like a camera.
00:54:43Oh, it's probably just a bird or something.
00:54:45Don't worry about it.
00:54:45Wow, this looks amazing.
00:54:51You're welcome.
00:54:53Did you actually cook all of this?
00:54:55Of course, for you.
00:54:58Okay.
00:55:00A bit of a whiz there in the kitchen, I guess.
00:55:03So, you're a remarkable woman.
00:55:07I don't know if you can't for that.
00:55:08Nathan, you do have a way of making me feel truly special.
00:55:15I'm captivated by you, too.
00:55:17What is this?
00:55:29The law of karma, my friend.
00:55:31No, no, no.
00:55:32You don't understand.
00:55:33This must be your doing, Rick.
00:55:35Oh, please.
00:55:36I've moved on.
00:55:37It's your turn to suffer.
00:55:38If you want to see the live drama, come with me.
00:55:42I know where they are.
00:55:45Trust me, Ben.
00:55:46You won't regret it.
00:55:53All right, Rick.
00:55:55Let's go.
00:55:57I have to learn the truth.
00:55:58I have to learn the truth.
00:56:08Max, look, there's Ben.
00:56:37Oh, I see.
00:56:37Ava.
00:56:49Ava, I'm so sorry.
00:56:51I know how it feels now.
00:56:53I know how it felt for you when I cheated on you.
00:56:58I've been there, Ben.
00:57:00I found solace in this bar after you're and Sarah's betrayal.
00:57:04And now you're seeking solace in my presence.
00:57:06You know about Sarah, don't you?
00:57:10I do.
00:57:11It was Max and I said.
00:57:13We wanted you to understand the pain of betrayal just as you had inflicted on me.
00:57:18I loved you with all my heart, Ben.
00:57:21And you cheated on me with my best friend.
00:57:25Ava, I was wrong.
00:57:28And I'm truly sorry.
00:57:31I didn't realize the pain I was causing until I felt it myself.
00:57:36I know you're in pain, Ben.
00:57:43We just wanted you to understand what it's like when the person who's closest to you turns
00:57:48their back on you.
00:57:49You're right.
00:57:51I'll have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life.
00:57:57There's still time, Ben.
00:57:59You can still make amends and learn from this.
00:58:02I will.
00:58:05I promise.
00:58:06Starting today, I will become a better person.
00:58:15I'm so sorry I cheated on you for that bitch.
00:58:24Max, do you think we did the right thing?
00:58:25I think we made him understand the pain he caused.
00:58:30But our plan isn't fully fulfilled yet.
00:58:33We still have one last thing to teach them before our school is settled.
00:58:37Okay.
00:58:39Then we move on with our future.
00:58:41Sure.
00:58:55Nathan, if this is some sort of joke or trying to be funny, you're not.
00:59:15Nathan?
00:59:25Nathan, Nathan, answer your phone.
00:59:42Okay, well, you'll help figure this out.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56Hello?
00:59:57Ava, Ava, I don't know where Nathan is.
00:59:59He's gone.
01:00:00I have no idea.
01:00:01What do you mean?
01:00:02He's just...
01:00:04I don't know where he is.
01:00:05He's...
01:00:06This is not like him at all.
01:00:07I have no idea.
01:00:10Oh, oh.
01:00:11I'll find him.
01:00:12Wait, no.
01:00:13Ava, he's messaged.
01:00:16Oh, he's messaged me a location.
01:00:18Oh, he's probably some cute little get-together.
01:00:22All right, let's go get him.
01:00:24Okay, okay.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:41Ethan?
01:00:42I don't think it's you.
01:00:46Sarah, you're overreacting.
01:00:48Let's just go outside and talk about it.
01:00:52Why would you even go after me if you hadn't had someone?
01:00:57It's just, you choose me.
01:01:00You got what you wanted, okay?
01:01:01No, I never wanted this.
01:01:09It's all my fault.
01:01:12It was me, Ben, and I was so happy.
01:01:17For a traitor for Nathan.
01:01:33Ben, please answer, Ben, please.
01:01:37I need you.
01:01:42Ava is all gone so terribly wrong.
01:01:49I just, I thought, Nathan, he, he, he used me.
01:01:55He never even cared about me.
01:01:57He just, oh, I can't believe I, I let, I let this happen.
01:02:01Sarah, sometimes we trust the wrong people, but we don't let that define us, okay?
01:02:09What did Nathan do to you anyway?
01:02:13You know what he did?
01:02:14He used me for my presence.
01:02:17He, he didn't feel any genuine love for me.
01:02:24He just, he, he, I was like, yay.
01:02:27That's despicable.
01:02:29I know.
01:02:31I just, thank you, Ava, for being such a good friend.
01:02:37Any time.
01:02:41Yes.
01:02:43Ava, it's to you.
01:02:45It's to you.
01:02:45It's to you.
01:02:53It's to you.
01:02:54History always repeats itself.
01:03:01Huh?
01:03:02What do you mean?
01:03:04Is that what I mean, Sarah?
01:03:06History always repeats itself.
01:03:10You cheated on someone, and now Nathan's cheating on someone.
01:03:13No, I didn't cheat.
01:03:14I didn't cheat with anyone.
01:03:16When are you going to own up to your mistakes, Sarah?
01:03:18Wait.
01:03:24Ava, what did you do?
01:03:30I found out about you and Ben.
01:03:33A long time ago.
01:03:38It hurt me so much.
01:03:43You know, I couldn't understand how my best friend could be so ruthless.
01:03:51You know,
01:03:52Alex and I didn't want to hurt you.
01:03:57We just wanted you to understand what it feels like to be betrayed.
01:04:02You know, to feel the pain that we felt.
01:04:05You and Ben pretended nothing happened.
01:04:10You caused Ava so much pain, and you made her feel that it was her fault.
01:04:15Nathan's actions seem familiar, don't they?
01:04:19A little too familiar.
01:04:20Maybe, uh, what you invented, Ava?
01:04:25So this feeling you're feeling right now?
01:04:29Get used to it.
01:04:32So what?
01:04:33It was just a revenge block or something?
01:04:37Yes, Sarah.
01:04:40The business partnership was just a way to get you and Ben together.
01:04:46You know, Nathan was part of it, too.
01:04:48You know, you know, did you ever feel the need to confess your sins?
01:04:58I think so.
01:04:58I think so.
01:05:06Look at me, Sarah.
01:05:09You need to feel the same pain Ava felt.
01:05:13And you need to feel it today.
01:05:15We have one more surprise for you.
01:05:22Check your email, Sarah.
01:05:32What is this?
01:05:33You can't just do this.
01:05:45Ava!
01:05:46You've gone too far!
01:05:48How could you?
01:05:50Sometimes we need a taste of our own medicine.
01:05:53Max, what are you...
01:06:10What's going on?
01:06:12Ben.
01:06:13I called you in here today to discuss your position at this company.
01:06:18What are you talking about?
01:06:19What's going on here?
01:06:21You remember Nathan, right?
01:06:23The chairman of the company you thought you were working for?
01:06:27Well, he's not the chairman.
01:06:31I am.
01:06:33He's a good friend of mine who was part of the little plan me and Ava were hooking on.
01:06:38You set this whole thing up?
01:06:45Ben, I need you to understand the consequences of your actions.
01:06:49I need Sarah to understand as well.
01:07:00Everyone, let's raise a glass to success and sweet revenge.
01:07:06Cheers to that.
01:07:08You guys are the best.
01:07:14Couldn't have done without you.
01:07:17It's amazing how well our plan worked.
01:07:19Sarah and Ben learned their lesson.
01:07:21I think they did, and you know what?
01:07:24I also think there'll be better people because of it.
01:07:27To new beginnings for everyone.
01:07:30To new beginnings.
01:07:31Ava, I have something important to discuss with you.
01:07:42What is it?
01:07:43I have something for you.
01:07:51This necklace was part of my family for generations.
01:07:55It symbolizes love and protection.
01:07:58I want you to have it.
01:08:07It's beautiful.
01:08:08I promise to love and protect you and stand by your sides from thick and thin, no matter what.
01:08:17I promise the same.
01:08:19I'm so glad you guys are here today.
01:08:28It's so nice to see you.
01:08:29It's exciting.
01:08:31Hey, family and friends, I have an announcement to make.
01:08:35I'm getting married.
01:08:37This is my new fiancee, Ava.
01:08:40Hi, everyone.
01:08:41I'm super excited to get to know you all and join in this beautiful family.
01:08:47Cheers.
01:08:47Cheers.
01:08:49Cheers.
01:08:50Cheers.
01:08:53Love you.
01:08:53Love you, too.
01:08:56Your family's lovely, Max.
01:08:58I'm glad you think so.
01:08:59They're happy you're part of my life now.
01:09:03I love you.
01:09:04I love you more.
01:09:08I never imagined my life could be this beautiful.
01:09:11I'm not going to lie to you, Ava.
01:09:13I've never known this kind of happiness existed until I met you.
01:09:22I promise to cherish and love you.
01:09:29As long as we live together through the bads and the goods.
01:09:35I love you so much.
01:09:38Night.
01:09:38Night.
01:09:59Ava, we have something you should see.
01:10:05What's this?
01:10:07Look closely.
01:10:07It's a bank statement.
01:10:09See, $10,000 was transferred from an unknown account to Sarah's account.
01:10:14It was all part of a plan to break us up.
01:10:20That's Max's account.
01:10:21Is this true?
01:10:27Ava, we wouldn't lie about something like this.
01:10:37Max?
01:10:47Ava?
01:10:47Ava, we wouldn't lie about something like this.
01:10:51Yes, it's true.
01:10:54What about you?
01:10:56Why would you do that?
01:10:59Because Ben doesn't care about you like I do.
01:11:01If he did, he wouldn't have cheated on you.
01:11:04I did this all for us so we could be together.
01:11:07I love you.
01:11:08I always have.
01:11:10You mean everything to me.
01:11:12I love myself.
01:11:17Ava!
01:11:17Let's go.
