00:00:00I just can't believe we did that.
00:00:07I...
00:00:09I can see you.
00:00:12Perhaps...
00:00:14this won't happen to me.
00:00:20I thought as much.
00:00:22It's me.
00:00:24The block, my dog.
00:00:26She would never find out.
00:00:29Now this is what we're talking about, James.
00:00:51Anyone here talking about James?
00:00:59It's time to tell the truth, don't you think?
00:01:10Please, put the gun down.
00:01:13You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:16Mia is the only one in love.
00:01:19It's time to end up like that.
00:01:21I'm sure you're not in love.
00:01:23It's time to end up like this.
00:01:25It's time to end up like this.
00:01:27I can't believe it.
00:01:29I can't believe it.
00:01:31I don't know.
00:01:33MacAllen, meet you.
00:01:46Marriage. Suffocating.
00:01:52Please, put the gun down.
00:01:55You don't want to end up like this.
00:01:58Mia is the only one in love.
00:02:03My family wants to plan my entire life.
00:02:19I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:02:25I'm Mia. Pleasure to meet you.
00:02:31It's our endless battle.
00:02:36It's my...
00:02:40Marriage. Suffocating.
00:02:49James, right? Fancy seeing you here again.
00:02:53Mia, you must be fake.
00:02:55Or you just come here a little too often.
00:03:02Wanna talk?
00:03:07Every single day, to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving dinner.
00:03:12And what was your response?
00:03:14Um, I said yes, just to stop her calls, but I don't think there's anyone.
00:03:21You?
00:03:23My parents are obsessed...
00:03:25Family wants to plan my entire life.
00:03:29I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:34I'm James. James Turner, by the way.
00:03:42Mia, I've been thinking...
00:03:45What do we help you with our endless battle?
00:03:48It's my...
00:03:49What do you mean?
00:03:58Maybe...
00:03:59We can do the plus...
00:04:01James, right?
00:04:03James, right?
00:04:05Fancy seeing you here again.
00:04:06Mia, you must be fake.
00:04:07Uh...
00:04:08Or you just come here a little too often.
00:04:09Right till Thanksgiving.
00:04:10Okay.
00:04:11Boyfriend.
00:04:12Why don't you introduce yourself more today?
00:04:13Well...
00:04:14I always...
00:04:15How are things going on your end?
00:04:16My mom...
00:04:17I don't know.
00:04:18I don't know.
00:04:19I don't know.
00:04:20I don't know.
00:04:21I don't know.
00:04:22I don't know.
00:04:23I don't know.
00:04:24I don't know.
00:04:25I don't know.
00:04:26I don't know.
00:04:27I don't know.
00:04:28I don't know.
00:04:29I don't know.
00:04:30I don't know.
00:04:31My mom calls me every single day to see if I'm bringing someone home for Thanksgiving
00:04:38dinner.
00:04:39But you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan already.
00:04:44Wait.
00:04:45Are you Mia Davis?
00:04:47That Mia Davis?
00:04:49But...
00:04:50I don't think there's anyone.
00:04:51You?
00:04:52My parents are obsessed with my kids.
00:04:56Even dolls still sing.
00:04:58Splash cookies.
00:04:59I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:05:05I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:05:08We won't let you down.
00:05:10So, you'll never go for a love.
00:05:11You are the best I've got to do.
00:05:13Go on now.
00:05:16Go on now.
00:05:17Go on now.
00:05:18I am sick.
00:05:19Go on.
00:05:20And help out.
00:05:23I'm sick.
00:05:28I'm sick.
00:05:29I'm sick.
00:05:31I'm sick.
00:05:32Did I stop?
00:05:33Do you know?
00:05:34Do you know?
00:05:35I'm sick.
00:05:36I'm sick.
00:05:37I'm sick, I'm sick.
00:05:38What do you mean?
00:05:46How about a drink to unwind later?
00:05:49My magic.
00:05:52Yeah, I can really use that.
00:05:54I'll meet you at the same bar.
00:06:04And we can be free for a long time.
00:06:08It's not what I usually do, but maybe it's exactly what I need right now.
00:06:15This night is just getting more interesting.
00:06:17Sounds like the craziest night I've ever had.
00:06:20Not yet. Wait till Thanksgiving.
00:06:24Okay, boyfriend. Why don't you introduce yourself more to me?
00:06:29Well, I own a real estate company.
00:06:32We work with many partners on their...
00:06:34Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Davis.
00:06:35We have still lose so much of luck.
00:06:36Please, call me Maria.
00:06:40Call my name.
00:06:41Help yourself with some cookies.
00:06:43Before I finish dressing with working.
00:06:48So far, so good.
00:06:50Let's keep it up.
00:06:52And a gallery owner.
00:06:53Not to show off, but you've probably seen a lot of my work around Manhattan.
00:06:57You too.
00:06:58I feel like we're a real couple.
00:07:02Yeah.
00:07:02So, you too.
00:07:05Tell me how you met.
00:07:09Of course.
00:07:09It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:07:13You know, you know, sitting alone, reading a chat for each other.
00:07:17It's been really striking out the kind of situation.
00:07:21Oh, how I met you.
00:07:24I'm so happy you guys who met each other.
00:07:27It's been too long for me to walk with someone.
00:07:31So, I'm so happy.
00:07:35I assure you, we are doing everything we can.
00:07:38I trust you because you are the best I've got.
00:07:40We won't let you down.
00:07:42I know.
00:07:50Your mom is here.
00:07:51What do we do?
00:07:54Quick, come in here.
00:08:00Come in.
00:08:05Good morning, lovebirds.
00:08:07I can see you had a lovely night.
00:08:10Stop it, mom.
00:08:11You're making it awkward.
00:08:12Look at you, all glowing.
00:08:19I'll do everything for my princess.
00:08:21Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:08:27Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:08:30How did you have time to call me today?
00:08:32Is this a bad time? You sound like you've had a rough day.
00:08:38I have to say it was quite a play in your house.
00:08:40It was perfect. They all bought it.
00:08:44Hey, Amber, how are your mom-
00:08:45How about a drink to unwind later?
00:08:48I'm a checker.
00:08:52So, has it been easier for you with your parents since our last visit?
00:08:57They just won't let the toffee cough you.
00:08:59Same here.
00:09:00Same here.
00:09:07Knowing my mom, she'll definitely want you to stay over.
00:09:10So, we'll probably spend-
00:09:18You know, James, it's nice like these that-
00:09:21Sounds like a plan.
00:09:32Here we go, James. Remember, we're a couple, deeply in love.
00:09:37Got it.
00:09:38I got it.
00:09:44Mom! I'm mom!
00:09:45It might help both of us.
00:09:48I'm all ears.
00:09:51Thinking, what if we turn the tables on our families?
00:09:59Thinking, what if we turn the tables on our families?
00:10:04Please, call me Maria.
00:10:07Common name.
00:10:08Help yourself with some cookies.
00:10:10Before I finish dressing the turkey.
00:10:15So far, what do you have a contract with?
00:10:17Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:10:19Financial terms and so on?
00:10:21Oh.
00:10:23No feelings should be included.
00:10:25This is huge.
00:10:27I need to think about it.
00:10:30I know.
00:10:31It's not something to deal with the person community.
00:10:33Me too.
00:10:35I feel like...
00:10:37We're a real couple.
00:10:39So...
00:10:40...lives without their interference.
00:10:42It's the perfect solution to our current dilemma.
00:10:45It's just...
00:10:47Like I said...
00:10:48Love...
00:10:50It was a charming little cafe on the 3rd Avenue.
00:10:52We were sitting alone and reading...
00:10:54Because naturally...
00:10:56Get it, Mia.
00:10:57I do.
00:10:59But sometimes life doesn't follow our script.
00:11:01And we need to adapt to that.
00:11:03Our life won't change a bit.
00:11:05Just more freedom with this contract.
00:11:07But...
00:11:09What about the no emotions term?
00:11:11Should we really...
00:11:13It's been too long for me to get to walk us on.
00:11:16It's so easy.
00:11:17You do make a good point.
00:11:19I do want to take control over my own destiny again.
00:11:23But...
00:11:24We need to set boundaries.
00:11:25Conditions.
00:11:26We'll stick with friendship.
00:11:27Contractual partners.
00:11:29Agreed, Mia.
00:11:30I'll write the legal contract.
00:11:31And we should both be clear about all this.
00:11:33Mia.
00:11:34Your mom's here.
00:11:35What do we do?
00:11:36Uh...
00:11:37Quick.
00:11:38Come in here.
00:11:40Make it done tomorrow.
00:11:57While our squad will take care of everything.
00:12:01Deal.
00:12:04No.
00:12:09I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:12:18Yeah, we've got that formula.
00:12:23Let's go through this country together.
00:12:26Okay.
00:12:29Separate bedrooms.
00:12:33Okay, I think the couple needs their alone time now.
00:12:38Okay, okay, just don't take too long.
00:12:42And she'll let you get back to the city today.
00:12:56I have to say, it was quite a play in your house.
00:12:59It was perfect. They...
00:13:05I still can't believe we did that.
00:13:08So, I was about to jump out when I heard that knock.
00:13:12But we made it.
00:13:15Well, it's a lot to get done just to prove we're getting married.
00:13:20Yes, then we'll plan a wedding so everyone will buy it.
00:13:24They just won't let the topic off you.
00:13:26Same here. But now, my mom won't stop asking me about...
00:13:38Did you turn the camera on?
00:13:40Yeah. It's working.
00:13:43Yeah. It's working.
00:13:47Come here.
00:13:57You know, James, it's nice like these that...
00:14:00I know there's beauty in commitment, but...
00:14:12Shouldn't it be our own life choice to make?
00:14:20I can't believe we just did that.
00:14:22It's all part of the plan.
00:14:33All of my freedoms? No, thank you.
00:14:39A couple in front of everyone.
00:14:40Of course. Not mistake is allowed tonight.
00:14:47It might help both of us.
00:14:50I'm all ears.
00:14:52I'm thinking.
00:14:54What if we turn the tables on our families?
00:14:57Another successful play.
00:15:07It's getting harder for me to tell between no...
00:15:11Please elaborate.
00:15:14What if we consider a contract marriage?
00:15:19A contract marriage?
00:15:21Yeah.
00:15:23Let's get some rest.
00:15:25Good night.
00:15:26Good night.
00:15:30A contract with?
00:15:32Maybe separate bedrooms?
00:15:34Financial terms and so on?
00:15:36Oh.
00:15:40Mia.
00:15:41Are you okay?
00:15:44Please.
00:15:45How about it?
00:15:48I know.
00:15:49It's not something I deal with a person who you just met.
00:15:53But think about this.
00:15:54Yes.
00:15:55The contract will satisfy our parents' expectations.
00:15:58So we can take control of our own lives without their interference.
00:16:02It's...
00:16:04I saw their faces.
00:16:06They believed in us.
00:16:07They believed in us.
00:16:09It was all a huge lie.
00:16:11I can't imagine what would happen if they found out the truth.
00:16:16It's not easy for me either.
00:16:17But we have to hang in there.
00:16:18We can't let them down right now.
00:16:22I can't let them down right now.
00:16:23I just wish it didn't have to be like this.
00:16:27I wish that too, Mia.
00:16:28But I promise.
00:16:29We can't get through.
00:16:30I promise.
00:16:32You.
00:16:33I promise.
00:16:34I can't get through.
00:16:35I promise.
00:16:36It's necessary.
00:16:37We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:16:38If we'll make things difficult.
00:16:39It's necessary.
00:16:40We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:16:41If we'll make things difficult.
00:16:42If we'll make things difficult.
00:16:43Oh, you do make a good point.
00:16:44No.
00:16:45I do not want to take away from her.
00:16:46No.
00:16:47What is that?
00:16:48Okay.
00:16:49I hope it was going to get through.
00:16:50It doesn't have to be like this.
00:16:51I wish that too, Mia.
00:16:52But I promise.
00:16:53I promise.
00:16:54We can't get through it.
00:16:56I promise.
00:16:57It's necessary.
00:16:58We need to avoid the situation of falling in love with each other.
00:16:59If we'll make things difficult.
00:17:01It will make things difficult.
00:17:03You do make a good point.
00:17:06I do want to take a good point.
00:17:09point. I do want to take control over my own destiny again. But we need to set boundaries,
00:17:19conditions. We'll stick with friendship, contractual partners.
00:17:24Agreed, Nia. I'll write the legal contract and we should both be clear about all of the terms.
00:17:31Oh, and one more thing, James. We need to keep our personal lives separate from all
00:17:37of this. We both continue to pursue our goals, passions, and relationships.
00:17:43Absolutely. Our contract won't affect any of our lives. We can make it done tomorrow.
00:17:50While our squad will take care of everything.
00:17:54Deal.
00:18:07I can't believe we're actually doing this.
00:18:12Yeah, we've got that formula. Let's go through this country. Is there any candle?
00:18:24James. Bedrooms. The no feelings clause.
00:18:35Hello?
00:18:50I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you. A gift to celebrate your fake wedding.
00:18:56Someone knows our secret. What should we do?
00:19:13I just can't believe we did that. So, what's next?
00:19:31We'll tell our parents and make it official. I'll propose to you in your apartment and send pictures to our families.
00:19:38Oh, it's a lot to get done just to prove-
00:19:42I'm glad I met a real gentleman.
00:19:47It's all part of the plan.
00:19:53I really want to get this out of my head. Can we just get it over with so we can move on with our lives?
00:20:03A bloody reality. But I still like it. It's our story.
00:20:10Mia, there is something I'm going to ask you tonight.
00:20:26Yes?
00:20:31Mia, will you marry me?
00:20:33Will you marry me?
00:20:34Oh my God, James. Yes!
00:20:36Oh, there's no signal. We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:20:50We won't. Someone will notice the elevator went wrong and come to fix them.
00:20:57I can't believe we just did that.
00:21:13It's all part of the plan.
00:21:16Well, at least it's a short break from our complex life.
00:21:20You always find a way to be positive, don't you?
00:21:29James, what if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:21:34They'd be so disappointed.
00:21:37We are doing everything we can. So far, we did good. Everyone is happy.
00:21:43I just think about how far we've come. Since the day we met, there was the gala, the proposal, the wedding, and now blackmail?
00:21:58It's like an endless spy game.
00:22:01I know. But we're in this together. We chose this to take control of our life.
00:22:08Now we're...
00:22:15I'm so relieved. Maybe it's because I'm not alone anymore.
00:22:21I know. I always rush to my friends after a bad day. And here I am, with a dearest friend.
00:22:28And now maybe I can finally get some space for my mom.
00:22:33All this and the truth.
00:22:35I know, but...
00:22:37We have to stay firm.
00:22:40Focus on the bigger picture.
00:22:42Neither of us wants a real marriage right now.
00:22:45And then she can make fun of you some more.
00:22:47I'm sexy now.
00:22:49Maybe we should talk about what just happened? The moment was...
00:23:07I enjoyed it. There's something I never thought I would say.
00:23:11But it...
00:23:21Mia, are you okay?
00:23:26Please, open up. Talk to me.
00:23:30I actually feel the exact same way.
00:23:34I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:23:38But everyone's faces...
00:23:40They were so happy.
00:23:42And blessed us with their whole...
00:23:44Let's tell everyone the truth.
00:23:46I'm sure they'll understand.
00:23:48Maybe mad at first, but they'll be happy for us in the end.
00:23:52Our families will be shocked when they find out.
00:23:56I know, Mia, but it's time to set things right.
00:23:58It should be our priority right now.
00:24:00I saw their faces.
00:24:02They believed in us.
00:24:04It was all...
00:24:06James, our parents aside, I'm really worried about that blackmail that we received at the bar.
00:24:18Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:24:23Mia, I have no idea.
00:24:25But I hired an investigator.
00:24:27Hope we can't let them down right now.
00:24:34And yet, I feel that life is worse under the pretense.
00:24:55We will get ourselves out of this situation.
00:24:58We'll find the right time to tell everyone the truth to our marriage.
00:25:02And we for sure...
00:25:29Who's there?
00:25:32Who's there?
00:25:35Who's there?
00:25:37ëlJaffe Zumzuli
00:25:38Mia.
00:25:39We agreed.
00:25:40What do you want from me?
00:25:49I know.
00:25:50But...
00:25:51I just need you to behave right now.
00:26:03We can talk things out.
00:26:05You don't need to tie me to a chair.
00:26:08I will cooperate.
00:26:21Hello?
00:26:36Mr. Turner, it's time for you to decide.
00:26:40Maya's life depends on you.
00:26:42Don't bother.
00:26:47Who are you and what do you want?
00:26:52That is not a question for me to answer.
00:26:54Just do as I said.
00:26:56I can't arrange that much money.
00:26:59It's okay, let me talk to you.
00:27:05That won't be happening.
00:27:07I swear, if you dare to touch her, I will hunt you down and pull out your eyes myself.
00:27:12I can't lose Mia.
00:27:30I thought the relationship between you two was strictly based on the contract.
00:27:35Right here, Mia.
00:27:37Is there any candle?
00:27:44James.
00:27:49So, any clue?
00:27:53Blackmail?
00:27:55Someone has been stalking us.
00:27:57They know about the contract marriage and threaten to expose us.
00:28:00Whatever it takes, I will hunt this person down.
00:28:02Mark, please, I need your help.
00:28:15Sorry.
00:28:16Hello?
00:28:17I hope you enjoyed the champagne I sent you, a gift to you.
00:28:21The friendship has also come to an end.
00:28:30What should we do?
00:28:45CPM bank.
00:28:46Mr. Turner, how can we help you today?
00:28:50I have a certificate of deposit with your bank.
00:28:52I want to cash it out immediately.
00:28:57Can you get money for me in an hour?
00:29:04It's for an urgent matter.
00:29:08Sure.
00:29:09I've been thinking about the day we met.
00:29:13It feels like a life.
00:29:15Great.
00:29:16And I'm glad that I met you.
00:29:26You're such a special woman, and I've never met anyone like you before.
00:29:30Yes.
00:29:31Give me the location.
00:29:32Boom!
00:29:33I can't thank you enough for saving my life, James.
00:29:52Do anything to keep you safe.
00:29:54We're in this together.
00:29:56Even though it's a dramatic fake wedding, I'm happy to have you here with me.
00:30:03It's not a fairy tale.
00:30:14It's a bloody reality.
00:30:17But I still like it.
00:30:20It's our story.
00:30:22Good detective.
00:30:24Good detective.
00:30:25We appreciate your efforts.
00:30:32Oops.
00:30:52It's been a while since we had a pissy moon like this.
00:31:04Yeah.
00:31:05It's nice to get a break from all the chaos.
00:31:08Mia.
00:31:09There's no signal.
00:31:11We could be trapped in here for hours.
00:31:27They love my pitch.
00:31:29Oh my god, James.
00:31:30That's amazing.
00:31:31I'm gonna call my employees to announce this news.
00:31:35Yes.
00:31:36We just need to be patient.
00:31:42Will you pick me up later for our little celebration?
00:31:45Absolutely.
00:31:46I'll meet you at home after work.
00:32:05Yes.
00:32:06I need you to gather the people online for a meeting.
00:32:12We got that project and we need to present it to the client this afternoon.
00:32:17Wow.
00:32:18That's fantastic.
00:32:19I will gather them.
00:32:20I will gather them.
00:32:37What if people find out about our contract marriage?
00:32:40They'd be so disappointed.
00:32:42Curious.
00:32:43Why you guys chose us out of all the companies in the world?
00:32:47Your president insisted you were the perfect fit.
00:32:50She said you're an old friend.
00:32:53An old friend?
00:32:55I'm not sure I know who it could be.
00:32:59You'll find out soon enough, James.
00:33:02For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:33:05For now, focus on getting the job done.
00:33:09Go find the job done.
00:33:10Hold up.
00:33:16When you do another job, you will find the job too.
00:33:19Theēm iha
00:33:215th
00:33:26Oh
00:33:32You
00:33:34What's wrong James?
00:33:41Who could that be?
00:33:47I don't know.
00:33:50But we are going to find out soon.
00:34:01Samantha.
00:34:03Have you found anything?
00:34:05I have been waiting ages to hear from you.
00:34:07Hope you have news that I want to hear.
00:34:10James.
00:34:11We've made some significant progress.
00:34:14I think we are closed on covering who has been trying to blackmail you and Mia.
00:34:20I'm only yours.
00:34:21Details please.
00:34:22We managed to trace the source of the blackmail.
00:34:25At times we found a connection to an individual named Richard Kingsley.
00:34:30Richard Kingsley?
00:34:31Never heard that name.
00:34:32And why would he do this?
00:34:34We are still walking on that part.
00:34:37We will gather more evidence and get to the bottom of this.
00:34:40Thank you Samantha.
00:34:41Keep me posted on any updates.
00:34:43I want to know everything about Richard Kingsley and his motives.
00:34:47Of course.
00:34:58Maybe we should talk about what just happened.
00:35:01The moment was...
00:35:03I enjoyed it.
00:35:04There is something I never thought I would say.
00:35:07But it's not what we expected.
00:35:10I thought we got into this to avoid marriage.
00:35:13Mia.
00:35:14I have to tell you.
00:35:15I don't want to lie to myself or to you person behind all this.
00:35:19I won't let him walk in one piece.
00:35:21After what he has done.
00:35:23Wow.
00:35:30You know.
00:35:31It's moments like these that really make me appreciate having you in my life James.
00:35:35Contract or not.
00:35:37I feel the same way Mia.
00:35:39I won't ever want to lose you.
00:35:44I've been working on this for a few weeks.
00:35:47It may not be to everyone's taste but...
00:35:50It means a lot to me.
00:35:54I can't stop thinking about you all the time.
00:35:58Although we got into this relation...
00:36:07Hello?
00:36:14James, I trust that they will be happy for us in the end.
00:36:20Her families will be shocked when they find out.
00:36:23I know Mia.
00:36:24But it's time to set things right.
00:36:26It should be our priority right now.
00:36:37James.
00:36:52Who would be so interested in our personal matters?
00:36:56Mia, I have no idea.
00:36:58But I hired an investigator.
00:37:00Hope she can bring me some valuable information.
00:37:03I have a feeling someone is watching us from the dark.
00:37:07Maybe you can catch up with each other.
00:37:11It's a great opportunity.
00:37:13She surely is very excited about this.
00:37:37I'm James Turner.
00:37:50You're...
00:37:56Jimmy?
00:37:57Don't you remember me?
00:38:03Catch the person hunting us.

00:38:53Anyone here?
00:38:54What do you want from me?
00:38:56You're exactly where I want you, Mia.
00:39:07Where am I?
00:39:09Please, just tell me what you want from me.
00:39:21Don't worry, you will know what we want soon enough.
00:39:24I'm so sorry I have to find out like this, but Mabel and I have been together for a while now.
00:39:33If I give you a chair, I will cooperate.
00:39:36If it is money, I can give it to you.
00:39:42Just let me go.
00:39:44Fine.
00:39:45What are you playing here?
00:39:46What's up with all the charade?
00:39:51For all time's sake, you cheated on me with my best friend.

00:40:06People change, James.

01:01:43I can't shake the feeling that there's more to it.
01:01:47I think we have to wait for her more.
01:01:50I need to find out what's really going on, Philly.

01:02:19You don't need to hide anything from me.
01:02:21If you want to talk about something, we can figure it out together.
01:02:27Babe, it shouldn't worry you.
01:02:29I can handle it myself.

01:02:32Okay.

01:02:53There's nothing that we can't handle together.
01:03:01Hi, Jimmy.
01:03:04Why are we calling a business meeting with you today?
01:03:09I'm just visiting an old friend.
01:03:13I've moved on with my life.
01:03:15I have Mia, and she means everything to me.
01:03:18Oh, please, James.
01:03:20You wouldn't let a college flinch cloud your judgment after all these years.
01:03:26Right?
01:03:27Spare me the details.
01:03:29You betrayed me as my own roommate.
01:03:32What did you expect me to do, James?
01:03:35Need someone to back me up?
01:03:37I was a child.
01:03:39I don't care about your reasons, Anya, wherever you're playing here.
