00:06:26M �
00:06:44Damn! Looks like you only got released on bail for one day, so you can play some rich man's whore.
00:06:53You're not thinking about him, are you? Because he's sure I'm thinking about you.
00:07:02Just give it back!
00:07:05You're such a bitch aren't you? Stuck in his hellhole, and still finding some time.
00:07:14This is some guy on the outside. She pisses me off.
00:07:21Grace, did she get her welcome tattoo on the nice pretty face of hers?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:35Prisoners, break it up!
00:07:4110.36, get out here.
00:07:45Officer, what do they do now?
00:07:50You're free to go.
00:07:54What?
00:07:55Mom, I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. I promise, I'll come visit you right now.
00:08:14Can you miss Alice, will you?
00:08:18Boss?
00:08:22It's her.
00:08:25Oh, I'll come back.
00:08:28I will.
00:08:29I'm so sorry.
00:08:30I'll come back now.
00:08:31I'll come back.
00:08:36Get her in the car.
00:08:39Who are you? And where are you taking me?
00:08:42I'm Christian Selim.
00:08:44S-S-S-S-S-L-E-E-M?
00:08:47I'm Christian Selim.
00:08:50We're you.
00:08:51We're you.
00:08:52We're you.
00:08:53I'm Christian Selim.
00:08:54Selim? As in, the powerful crime family?
00:08:58But why does his voice sound so familiar?
00:09:02We're gonna get married today.
00:09:04What? Let me out!
00:09:06Hey, stop acting innocent. You wanted this in first place.
00:09:10I don't even know you! Let me go!
00:09:13Hey, hey, relax. Listen to me carefully, woman. I don't have time for your DM games.
00:09:18If you wanna die, I'll end it quick.
00:09:21Please, I don't... I don't wanna die.
00:09:27Sir, we can't take her to the courthouse looking like this.
00:09:36Fine, let's go back to the mansion and have the mates clean her up.
00:09:51Oh, uh... I can undress myself.
00:09:57Can I get some... Can I get some privacy?
00:10:00Mr. Selim. The woman? She escaped through the window.
00:10:17Damn it! Go find her! Now!
00:10:29My sources say Christian Selim has overturned his brother Harry
00:10:33and taken control of the Selim family state.
00:10:36Son, we need to get him on our side. Come over immediately.
00:10:39I've called me in to discuss strategy to partner with Christian.
00:10:44Yes, dad. I'll... I'll be right there.
00:10:46Miss, you... Are you okay?
00:11:00Doctor, please!
00:11:14Can relatives of the patient please wait outside?
00:11:20Okay, sure, yeah.
00:11:27Max, where are you?
00:11:29Sorry, I... I got sidetracked.
00:11:31I'll... I'll be right there.
00:11:45Ma'am, you're pregnant.
00:11:47And your body is lacking nutrients.
00:11:55You're gonna have to eat a little bit better from now on.
00:12:04I'm pregnant.
00:12:06Mother, there's nurses for this. You should rest.
00:12:22Oh, this is nothing. I've been through worse imprison and survived.
00:12:27Where is Alice? You promised to bring my daughter-in-law back?
00:12:31Yeah, well about that. She escaped.
00:12:34Look, I know you two were close in prison.
00:12:37But if you ask me, I think she's trying to scam you.
00:12:40She's just a gold thinger.
00:12:41You don't know her like I do, Christian.
00:12:44When Harry sent me to prison to control you,
00:12:46Alice was the only person who took care of me in there.
00:12:50I know she's a good person.
00:12:52I just want you to marry her before I die from cancer.
00:13:02All right.
00:13:04I'll find her, I'll bring her back, and I'll marry her.
00:13:07This child is the only family I have left now that Mom's gone.
00:13:20But how can I afford to raise a child?
00:13:24I won't get rid of this baby.
00:13:26Alice, my dear.
00:13:32What are you doing here?
00:13:34My idiot son said you ran away after he got you out of prison.
00:13:40I... I didn't know that that was your son.
00:13:46Well, I'm gonna have to thank him properly later.
00:13:51But first...
00:13:58What's wrong, sweetheart?
00:14:00Are you in trouble?
00:14:03Tell me.
00:14:04I'll help you.
00:14:07Catherine...
00:14:10I need to borrow some money.
00:14:12And I know I shouldn't ask,
00:14:14and I just don't have any other choice.
00:14:17And...
00:14:21How much?
00:14:23I'll handle it.
00:14:31You...
00:14:33What...
00:14:34What are you...
00:14:35Mother, I need a few minutes with her alone.
00:14:37I knew they'd be perfect for each other.
00:14:51Close the door, Mother, would ya?
00:14:55I love you.
00:14:57I don't know what kind of spell you put on my mother, but she's all hell bent on me marrying you.
00:15:01You come here to a sick person. She has cancer, only three months to live, and you have the audacity to ask her for more money. What's the matter?
00:15:11You...
00:15:14If you hurt her, I will fucking end you.
00:15:22I didn't know...
00:15:24That she was your mother.
00:15:25You expect me to believe that?
00:15:26I know you got together in prison with her.
00:15:29Really close.
00:15:30So you can get...
00:15:32A way...
00:15:33Into the...
00:15:34Southern...
00:15:35Family.
00:15:37You want the fortune.
00:15:38You want all her money.
00:15:39The power. That's what you want.
00:15:41But you're nothing more than a relative little gold thingar.
00:15:47Listen to me.
00:15:49Here's the deal.
00:15:50You and I are going to get married today.
00:15:57I'm not even going to touch you anymore.
00:16:00But in front of my mother...
00:16:03You're going to play the perfect wife.
00:16:06After three months, we're gonna get a divorce.
00:16:09I'll even give you a million dollars.
00:16:11Shut the fuck up, honey.
00:16:13For your inconvenience.
00:16:15But if you play any tricks...
00:16:16I will make you regret this for the rest of your life.
00:16:23A million dollars is a lot of money.
00:16:27It could pay for my baby and a new life.
00:16:30Talk.
00:16:34Okay?
00:16:36So, how long are you?
00:16:37But don't flatter yourself.
00:16:41Because I'm not interested...
00:16:43in an arrogant...
00:16:45really...
00:16:46man like you.
00:16:48And I care...
00:16:50for your lover.
00:16:52And if it's your dying wish.
00:16:54And I'll forgive it.
00:16:56I'll make sure of that.
00:17:02See, Katherine, you have nothing to worry about.
00:17:05We're married now.
00:17:07Please...
00:17:09call me mom.
00:17:11Mom...
00:17:13I think you need to go back to the hospital...
00:17:16and rest.
00:17:18The doctor said I could stay home tonight.
00:17:20And I've already set up your wedding room.
00:17:23Don't mind me.
00:17:25Just go ahead...
00:17:27and give me a grandchild.
00:17:28All right, mom.
00:17:30Good night.
00:17:32All right, mom.
00:17:34Good night.
00:17:58She smells just like the other woman from that night.
00:18:17You said you weren't gonna touch me.
00:18:21Don't move.
00:18:22If my mother is watching.
00:18:23I'm watching.
00:18:24She reminds me of him.
00:18:25The man from that night.
00:18:26She reminds me of him.
00:18:27The man from that night.
00:18:30She reminds me of him.
00:18:32She reminds me of him.
00:18:34The man from that night.
00:18:37She reminds me of him.
00:18:39She reminds me of him.
00:18:42He reminds me of the man from that night.
00:18:44The man from that night.
00:18:48Reminds me of him, the man from that night.
00:19:03Damn, he's a good kisser.
00:19:18What? Are you shy?
00:19:48When are you shy?
00:20:04I don't know.
00:20:06Okay.
00:20:34What?
00:20:36Look, I'm sorry. I gotta... I gotta keep my mother happy.
00:20:39You take the bed, I take the floor tonight.
00:20:43Good night.
00:20:53Hello, Mother.
00:20:55Son, even though you and Alice are already married,
00:20:58a proper celebration is still in order.
00:21:01I was thinking the 18th would be ideal for an engagement party.
00:21:06Yeah, the 18th is fine. Thank you, Mother.
00:21:09Look, I gotta go back to work. I'll talk to you later.
00:21:22Boss, aren't you worried she'll run away?
00:21:25She ain't going anywhere until she gets to Millie in three months.
00:21:31By the way, have you found a woman from that night like I asked you to?
00:21:34Not yet, boss.
00:21:36We're still looking.
00:21:43I can't stop thinking about her.
00:21:45I gotta find her.
00:21:46Dad, you aligned yourself with the wrong Salim.
00:21:58Harry didn't kill Christian like you said he would.
00:22:00And now Christian is the one in power.
00:22:04If he finds out we were working with Harry, he'll kill us all.
00:22:09What do we do?
00:22:10You underestimate me, daughter.
00:22:12Our and Selene family's relationship will continue to flourish, no matter which brother is in power.
00:22:17I've made sure of it.
00:22:20What do you mean?
00:22:21Well, I had you cozy up to Harry, as he seemed the most likely to take over.
00:22:27However, to cover all eventualities, I had Alice sleep with Christian.
00:22:31Now Christian is looking for that woman, and Alice is locked up in prison.
00:22:36All you have to do is pretend you were the one that was with him that night.
00:22:40Julianne, do you know what this means?
00:22:43If you can get Christian to marry you, you'll be the lady of the Salim family.
00:22:48Then we'll all be rich.
00:22:57All right.
00:23:00I'll do it.
00:23:05Boss!
00:23:08We found her.
00:23:09Alice, you don't have to take care of me all the time.
00:23:20I want you to be happy and enjoy your freedom.
00:23:30I'm sorry you couldn't save your mother.
00:23:34Have you gone to visit her yet?
00:23:36No, not yet, but I will soon.
00:23:43Thank you, Catherine.
00:23:50Now that Christian believes that Julianne is the woman he slept with that night,
00:23:54he'll surely marry her.
00:23:56And the Gower family will be richer than ever.
00:23:59Alice, aren't you supposed to be in prison?
00:24:09They let me go, Mrs. Gower, because I served my time.
00:24:13Mr. Gower, I did everything you asked.
00:24:17I went to prison for your daughter.
00:24:19I slept with that man, all because you promised me you would save my mother.
00:24:24Well, I kept my end of the deal.
00:24:25Paid the money I promised.
00:24:27She died anyway.
00:24:28You can hardly blame me that she didn't survive.
00:24:31It was just bad luck.
00:24:32Yes, Alice.
00:24:34We even paid for her burial at Sunset Cemetery so that she could have a resting place.
00:24:40It seems prison has made you forget your place.
00:24:44Might I remind you, we employed your mother and we paid your schooling fees.
00:24:52Did you make new friends in prison, Alice?
00:24:54And you no longer need our charity?
00:24:57That's right.
00:24:58I've got myself a hot billionaire husband.
00:25:02Far richer than the Gowers now.
00:25:06And just you wait.
00:25:08Because one day it'll be me giving you charity instead.
00:25:12Is that so?
00:25:15I got quite the mouth on you, miss.
00:25:21What's Christian doing here?
00:25:25Baby, don't worry about her.
00:25:27She's just the daughter of my former nanny.
00:25:30Who's dead now.
00:25:32She's a con artist.
00:25:33She even went to prison for scamming rich men.
00:25:37Alice, this is my boyfriend, Christian.
00:25:42No wonder Christian hates me.
00:25:45If Julianne really is his girlfriend,
00:25:48he must be pissed that Catherine made him marry me instead.
00:25:52Alice, why don't you bring your rich husband over to me?
00:25:56Yes.
00:26:00Where could an ex-con find a husband?
00:26:05I was just joking.
00:26:11Do you know her?
00:26:13How would I know a lowlife like her?
00:26:17My future son-in-law doesn't like you.
00:26:20You should leave and never come back.
00:26:30Christian, my daughter gave herself up to you at your brother's request.
00:26:36Will you be responsible for her now that he's gone?
00:26:40Yes, she'll marry your daughter.
00:26:43I know now she was innocent and had nothing to do with my brother's plan trying to kill me.
00:26:48But when do you plan to marry me?
00:26:51I said in three months I got things to take care of till then.
00:27:06Hi, Mom.
00:27:08I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:27:13This is so much.
00:27:22Hello?
00:27:23Hello, Mrs. Saleem.
00:27:24This is Lincoln Hospital.
00:27:25This is a reminder about your prenatal checkup in ten days for you and your baby.
00:27:29Okay.
00:27:30Thank you so much.
00:27:31I'll be there soon.
00:27:32I need to get the money to pay for your checkup in ten days.

00:38:11Thanks, boss.
00:38:12Consider it as a gift.
00:38:22Who knew this thing would fetch such a pretty penny?
00:38:31Boss, I haven't found Alice, but the bracelet Mrs. Selim gave her turned up in our jewelry store.
00:38:38I put a tracker on the cellar.
00:38:40Should be able to use it to trace them back to her location.
00:38:45There's nerve on that woman!
00:38:47His disappearance wasn't enough, now she's selling the Selim family simple.
00:38:51Really?
00:38:54Listen to me, stay on it.
00:38:56I'm on my way.
00:39:08Don't hurt me!
00:39:09I'm pregnant!
00:39:10What did you just say?
00:39:11You're pregnant?
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13And no thanks to you, I'm carrying a dead man's baby.
00:39:15You bitch.
00:39:16I'm gonna make sure you and your bastard child die today.
00:39:23And before I kill you, do you want to take a guess who your baby daddy really is?
00:39:28It's a kid at perimeter.
00:39:29Who's there?
00:39:30Claire!
00:39:31Claire!
00:39:32It's a kid at perimeter.
00:39:33Who's there?
00:39:34Claire!
00:39:35Who's there?
00:39:36Claire!
00:39:37Who's there?
00:39:38Claire!
00:39:39I'm gonna make sure you and your bastard child die today.
00:39:42I'm gonna make sure you and your bastard child die today.
00:39:44What's there?
00:39:45Claire!
00:39:46Why would I care?
00:39:47He's dead.
00:39:48You should.
00:39:49The man is...
00:39:50Christian!
00:39:51Who's there?
00:39:53Claire.
00:40:01Why would I care?
00:40:04He's dead.
00:40:05You should.
00:40:07The man is...
00:40:10Christian?
00:40:13Christian?
00:40:16Christian?
00:40:18Get out of here!
00:40:21You alright? What did I do to you?
00:40:23I'm fine.
00:40:24I was just...
00:40:26The baby.
00:40:31Alice, let's get out of here.
00:40:33Take care of her.
00:40:34Come on, man.
00:40:36Christian, it was Alice.
00:40:37Shut up!
00:40:39You witch.
00:40:40Why are you trying to kill Alice?
00:40:42What's going on?
00:40:43I did it because I'm in love with you.
00:40:47Christian, I've loved you
00:40:49for longer than you know.
00:40:50I got called to Harry
00:40:52just so I could try
00:40:54and get you out of that dark room
00:40:55he was keeping you in.
00:40:57It was my idea
00:40:58to lay with you.
00:41:00It was my first time
00:41:01but I knew
00:41:02I wanted nobody
00:41:03but you.
00:41:05I know
00:41:06I'm not good enough for you.
00:41:08No, no, no!
00:41:09When May said you'd marry me
00:41:11I was so happy.
00:41:14And then
00:41:15I saw you with Alice
00:41:17I couldn't stand it.
00:41:20I was so jealous
00:41:21I just
00:41:22wanted
00:41:23her
00:41:23out of the picture.
00:41:26But
00:41:26I shouldn't have kidnapped her.
00:41:30I understand.
00:41:31If you can't
00:41:32forgive me
00:41:33I'll stay out of your way
00:41:36from now on.
00:41:37Stay here.
00:41:51Alice and I
00:41:52are married
00:41:53only on paper.
00:41:58Julianne
00:41:59if I find out
00:42:01you lied to me
00:42:03I will end you.
00:42:10But please
00:42:11just stay out of my sight
00:42:14for three months
00:42:15and I'll promise
00:42:16I'll marry you
00:42:17the way I
00:42:18the way I promised.
00:42:20I'll do whatever
00:42:21you say
00:42:22I promise.
00:42:24I promise.
00:42:24I'll be the lady
00:42:33of the Selene family
00:42:34no matter what it takes.
00:42:44Why isn't she awake yet?
00:42:46she's in shock sir
00:42:49likely temporary.
00:42:51She should wake up soon
00:42:53and when she does
00:42:54it's probably best
00:42:56if I give her
00:42:56a thorough examination.
00:43:03The doctor said
00:43:04she's pregnant
00:43:05but who's the baby father?
00:43:06Stay back
00:43:12nobody touches
00:43:13my baby.
00:43:14Ma'am
00:43:15please put
00:43:16the gun
00:43:17down.
00:43:21What's going on?
00:43:23When Mrs. Selene
00:43:24woke up
00:43:25I was about
00:43:26to do the check-up
00:43:27but I think
00:43:29the shock
00:43:29of the kidnapping
00:43:30was too much for her.
00:43:32As soon as she saw
00:43:33the medical equipment
00:43:34she just grabbed a gun
00:43:35and kept saying
00:43:36don't touch my baby.
00:43:40What a slut.
00:43:41She couldn't even
00:43:42respect your marriage
00:43:43for three months.
00:43:44She had to go
00:43:45sleep around
00:43:45to get knocked up
00:43:46by a bastard child.
00:43:48Frank.
00:43:49Get back!
00:43:51Nobody touches
00:43:52my baby.
00:43:53Get away!
00:43:59I could use a sedative
00:44:01but it may harm a baby.
00:44:02You don't even
00:44:03realize
00:44:04you're carrying
00:44:05Chris's baby
00:44:05and neither does he.
00:44:08He'll let you
00:44:08both die.
00:44:10Doctor
00:44:11go ahead
00:44:12and sedate her.
00:44:13It's not like
00:44:13she's carrying
00:44:14Chris's child
00:44:14anyway.
00:44:15Could that be
00:44:16my child?
00:44:17What if she's
00:44:18that woman
00:44:18from that night?
00:44:20No, no, no.
00:44:21Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:44:22I forbid it.
00:44:22Don't.
00:44:24Alice.
00:44:26Point the gun at me.
00:44:30Here we go.
00:44:33No one's going to hurt you
00:44:35ever again.
00:44:36I promise.
00:44:36No one's going to hurt you
00:44:38ever again.
00:44:39I promise.
00:44:39Why do I feel like I need to
00:45:09protect her
00:45:09all of a sudden?
00:45:11And don't worry about the baby.
00:45:14Okay?
00:45:15Damn it,
00:45:16that filthy bitch.
00:45:17She's doing this on purpose.
00:45:25My baby.
00:45:30Alan,
00:45:31send her home.
00:45:33Yes, sir.
00:45:33I'm out this way.
00:45:36But,
00:45:36I'm on.
00:45:37It's okay.
00:45:45It's okay.
00:45:45Alice, why haven't you come to visit me at the hospital?
00:46:10Are you all right?
00:46:13I'm good.
00:46:13No, I wasn't feeling very well, but I feel much better now.
00:46:20I'll come visit you.
00:46:25What are you doing in here?
00:46:41This is my run.
00:46:47Just get out, you pervert.
00:46:49Hey, would you stop that nonsense?
00:46:52Look at you.
00:46:55Please, don't touch me.
00:47:03Stop putting us a knife.
00:47:05We both know you're not a virgin.
00:47:07Get off.
00:47:12What the fuck was that for?
00:47:23What the fuck was that for?
00:47:36Lucy, don't touch me!
00:47:38Don't play the victim here while you're carrying another man's child.
00:47:44Let go of me.
00:47:46Who was the father?
00:47:51Why do you care?
00:47:53All we have is a contract marriage.
00:47:56Yes, we do.
00:47:57But you're still the lady of the Selene family.
00:48:00I don't want one day somebody showing up at my door saying that you're carrying his damn child.
00:48:04Yeah, well, you don't have to worry about that because he's already dead.
00:48:11Climb all the way to the top he had and killed the father of your child, is that it?
00:48:15I didn't kill him!
00:48:16I don't have to tell him any damn excuses anymore.
00:48:22Listen to me.
00:48:25If you think you can use that bastard child to blackmail me, you're dead wrong.
00:48:34And if you tell anything about your pregnancy to my mother, I will make your life a living hell.
00:48:43Alice, Christian told me someone stole the bracelet I gave you.
00:49:01Mom, I'm so sorry.
00:49:04I should have been more careful with it.
00:49:06But I'll find a way to pay you back.
00:49:08I promise.
00:49:09Nonsense!
00:49:10It was a gift.
00:49:12Luckily, Christian found it.
00:49:15Just make sure you take care of it this time.
00:49:22Mom, I can't.
00:49:23It's too valuable.
00:49:24I think it'd be better if you kept it safe for now.
00:49:27Don't worry about it, sweetheart.
00:49:29I'm still counting on you and Christian to give me a grandchild.
00:49:36So the bracelet can be passed down through the generations.
00:49:42Anyway, Mom, I was thinking about getting a job.
00:49:49A job?
00:49:51Why, dear?
00:49:52Do you need money?
00:49:53I thought you were taking care of that for her.
00:49:56Mother, I was gonna...
00:49:58No, no, no.
00:49:59It's me.
00:50:00I want to work.
00:50:01It's got nothing to do with Christian.
00:50:03If I...
00:50:04If I need something to do, I'll get bored.
00:50:08Well, alright then, sweetheart.
00:50:10Whatever you want to do, I'll support you.
00:50:15Who the hell left that bucket there?
00:50:30I'm sorry, sir.
00:50:32You fucking con.
00:50:34You can't even do a simple job like this.
00:50:37Just get your sorry ass out of here.
00:50:40I'm so sorry.
00:50:41I'll be more careful.
00:50:42I just...
00:50:45Mrs. Lee?
00:50:48Mr. Perry, what are you...
00:50:50What are you doing here?
00:50:51I'm the CEO of this company.
00:50:54What's going on here?
00:50:56Boss, we got a new hire, but she can't even do a simple job like cleaning.
00:51:00I mean, she left the bucket right in the middle of the hallway here.
00:51:04I nearly fell right over it.
00:51:06It could have been worse.
00:51:07It could have been there and you could have fallen over it.
00:51:09It would have been a real mess.
00:51:10Well, I'm sorry.
00:51:11I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I'll be more careful.
00:51:13I'll learn.
00:51:14But please, just don't fire me, please.
00:51:16I really need this job.
00:51:18It's okay.
00:51:19It's okay.
00:51:20She's a friend of mine.
00:51:21So, please transfer her to a desk job or she won't be doing manual labor.
00:51:26Okay, sir.
00:51:27I'll do it.
00:51:28Thank you, John.
00:51:33Mrs. Slim, why would you apply for a cleaning job in my company?
00:51:39Does Mrs. Slim know about this?
00:51:46Wait.
00:51:47So, you're telling me that you and Mrs. Slim are just in a contract marriage?
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:55And that is why I'd appreciate it if this just stayed between us.
00:52:00Of course.
00:52:01Your secret's safe from me.
00:52:02That means I still have a chance with her.
00:52:05Thank you so much for today, Mr. Gray.
00:52:07Can I make it up to you?
00:52:08Can I get you lunch?

01:12:11Even though I loved you it was all in vain
01:12:18What a slut.
01:12:20I wonder if her husband knows she's out dancing for money like this.
01:12:25Excuse me.
01:12:44Alice? Is that you?
01:12:46Why are you dressed like this?
01:12:49Well he thought this is what you wanted.
01:12:52You're bleeding.
01:12:55Come on.
01:12:57What a shameless slut.
01:13:00Don't tell me you're dating this stripper, Max Grey.
01:13:05Yeah, I like her.
01:13:08Is there a problem?
01:13:10Hello. Is this Insider Magazine?
01:13:25I've got a juicy scandal for you.
01:13:26This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to come to work today, I'd never gotten hurt.
01:13:40Max, don't say that. It was an accident.
01:13:55You know, it's getting late and I should probably go.
01:14:11Alice, about what I said at the party, could you think about it? I really like you.
01:14:24I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea, Max.
01:14:27I'm married.
01:14:29Isn't it just a contract?
01:14:34It's fake.
01:14:36Christian doesn't love you.
01:14:38If he did, he wouldn't let another woman hurt you.
01:14:46Look, you don't need to answer me now.
01:14:49Okay? Just take your time.
01:14:52She'll never be yours!
01:15:09You'll own her, you jerk.
01:15:16Stop!
01:15:17Stop!
01:15:21Stop!
01:15:23For God's sake, Max, are you okay?
01:15:26Come with me.
01:15:27No, don't touch me!
01:15:28Let him go!
01:15:31What did you just say?
01:15:33Listen to me, you little fucking son of a bitch!
01:15:36You stay away from my wife, or I'm gonna make sure to ruin you and your entire family.
01:15:47Let's go!
01:15:53What the hell were you thinking talking to Mr. Selene's wife?
01:15:56We're trying to work with his family, not get killed by them.
01:16:01Dad, you don't understand.
01:16:03I...
01:16:04I don't care.
01:16:05Get back here.
01:16:06Now.
01:16:17I swear to God, if you ever see that man again, I'm gonna beat him to death and I'll have his whole entire family go bankrupt!
01:16:28You...
01:16:32Alan, drive.
01:16:33You slept with them, didn't you?
01:16:42No.
01:16:43Because I'm not filthy like you!
01:16:49Filthy...
01:16:50Yeah, we'll see about that.
01:16:51No.
01:17:10Stop.
01:17:21Feel the warmth of the summer.
01:17:35I get lost in the colors of the golden house in your eyes.
01:17:44Nutriy...
01:17:48Her scent...
01:17:50It's so familiar.
01:17:55Alice, I need you to find out where Alice was that night, and also fix that
01:18:25security footage from that room.
01:18:41Hey mom, I brought you some food. What's wrong?
01:18:46Alice, you should see this.
01:18:55You deceived me, Alice.
01:19:02No, this is just a misunderstanding. Max was just helping me, because my clothes got dirty
01:19:12at work.
01:19:13Who's Max?
01:19:14He's my boss.
01:19:16Do you love him?
01:19:19What? No!
01:19:23I mean, yes, he tried to pursue me, but I told him I'm married.
01:19:30Yes, that's good. Because you love Christian. You do love Christian, don't you?
01:19:37I just...
01:19:39You don't have to say it. I can see it. My son loves you. I see it in his eyes.
01:19:52Christian is my son. I know him better than anyone. He's always been calm, steady. Never
01:19:59the one to get into a physical fight, not even when a competitor had him locked up. But
01:20:06now, over some rival he's imagined, he completely lost it. What else could make him snap like
01:20:10that, if not love?
01:20:29Alice, I owe you an apology. I wanted you to marry my son so badly, I never asked what
01:20:52you wanted. I can see now that you weren't ready. The truth is, I wanted you to marry Christian,
01:21:07because I thought he'd take care of you. Growing up, you never had the support you deserved,
01:21:14and now, with your mother gone, I... I feared you'd be alone. You're too kind. Always letting
01:21:23people walk all over you. I thought Christian would protect you, but now, I'm starting to
01:21:31think I was wrong. Oh, Mom, don't say things like that. Oh, thank you, my dear, that you still
01:21:39call me Mom. I see now that your marriage to Christian is a contract. If you don't love
01:21:49him, you can walk away. No need to stick around for my sake.
01:22:00The thing is, Catherine, I'm... I'm following you for Christian. Really? Then I can rest easy.
01:22:15Even if I'm not here one day, I'll know you in good hands. No, I'm... I'm sorry, Catherine,
01:22:25I don't... I don't think I can ever be with your son. Why not? Because, um... Because I'm
01:22:44pregnant with another man's baby. I don't know who the father is, was, because he's dead, and I want to keep the
01:22:54baby, but I can't do that to Christian, because that's just not fair. What if I told you the man was me?
01:23:05What are you talking about? Well... November 27th, you had a day off on your parole. And you get taken to a
01:23:13small, dimly lit room, remember? Oh, that day. James arranged a day off. He said if I slept with a stranger, he'd pay for Mom's surgery, but he's a liar.
01:23:26I know. I was there. What? Alice, the man you slept with that night isn't dead. It was me.
01:23:36How is that... How is that possible? That doesn't... No, Julianne, she lied and pretended to be you. And when I... when I saw you, I just... I felt like there's something about you.
01:24:01Well, that... that man died. No. I pretended to be dead, so I can escape my brother's grasp. It just...
01:24:10Thank goodness! All the misunderstandings are finally cleared up!
01:24:16Right. No, wait. If that was you, then that... that means... Alice, you're pregnant! That means you're
01:24:30carrying my grandchild. Yes. Mom, this is your grandchild.
01:24:37No, but wait. Julianne has said that she was pregnant with your baby. Is that true, Christian?
01:24:53She lied to the both of us. I never slept with Julianne. There's no way the baby would be mine.
01:25:00Alan, bring her in! Alan, bring her in!
01:25:08Alan, bring her in!
01:25:12Go of me, you bastard! Christian, help me. He forced me to come here. Tell him to let me go.
01:25:21Julianne, let me ask you something. Are you the one who really slept with me that night?
01:25:27Yes, of course it was me. Carrying your child. It's been over a month now.
01:25:34Take a real good look at these. Does that look anything like you?
01:25:41This... this must be faked. You photoshopped this, didn't you, Alice? It was really me that night.
01:25:51That's enough, Julianne!
01:25:54You know, I thought you were just heartless for turning your back on my mother.
01:26:00Now I realize what you truly are. You ruthless.
01:26:05To try and steal the father of my child.
01:26:10How dare you slap me? You're nothing but the poor bastard child of a nanny.
01:26:18You filthy tramp. You really slept with Christian Saleem and now you're carrying his baby.
01:26:35And me? I'm the only heir to the Gower family.
01:26:39And yes, I sided with Harry. I'm pregnant with his child.
01:26:44But Christian killed him. This isn't fair!
01:26:47That's enough!
01:26:49Alice, take care of her.
01:26:52And the whole Gower family. Make sure she spends the rest of her life in person.
01:26:57No, do, boss.
01:26:58No, no Christian! Please! I'm too pretty to go to jail! No!
01:27:05Alice.
01:27:07Alice, I'm... I'm sorry. I should have never doubted your innocence.
01:27:11I do now understand that you were always faithful to me and pure.
01:27:20Hey, look at me.
01:27:21If you let me, I would just take care of you and a baby for the rest of my life.
01:27:33Well, I would like that very much.
01:27:36I love you, Alice.
01:27:37I love you, Alice.
01:27:39I love you too, Kristen.
01:27:40I love you too, Kristen.
01:27:41Oh, my love.
01:27:44I love you too, Kristen.
01:27:45Ah!
01:27:46Oh.
01:27:49It's too wee.
01:27:50It's NOT ANYTHING FORthis, STEVE.
01:27:51But...
01:27:54...
01:27:56...
01:27:57anywhere you were.
01:27:58Panican music.
01:28:00Happy 18Y Jesus.
01:28:01OK, Kevin, give me that experience.
01:28:03You can't bracket your hand.
01:28:05Put it in the narrative for the truth of the thief.
