00:00I'm Cecilia, just your average coffee delivery girl trying to make ends meet.
00:07Little did I know, I'm about to land my dream job and meet the love of my life.
00:17Okay.
00:24This is insane.
00:26Hi, did anyone order these?
00:31Artless Pervert!
00:33Whoa!
00:35You've got to be kidding me! Look, you've got it all over me!
00:39Do you have any idea how much this costs? And if they can't get it out...
00:42That's enough!
00:47You.
00:51In my office. Now.
00:53What?
00:56What's your name?
01:06Uh...
01:09Cecilia Brooks?
01:11Ms. Brooks, is there a reason why you came here to interview you as a designer, dressed like this?
01:15Oh, I think you have the wrong idea, Mr. Mercer. I'm not here for-
01:22I don't want to hear excuses.
01:31Change into this.
01:32Excuse me?
01:33Yolanda thinks they're very fast-paced here.
01:36I don't have time to ask twice.
01:46Hello? This is Cecilia.
01:48Ms. Brooks, we need $200,000 to move forward with your grandfather's surgery.
01:52Until then, we cannot proceed.
01:54Okay, well, one second.
01:57Hello? Ms. Brooks?
02:00Shit.
02:04Who is this woman? His girlfriend or something?
02:07I wasn't done with my interview.
02:10We'll touch base soon, okay?
02:11Oh!
02:16Good luck.
02:20I thought you weren't interested.
02:22Take off your clothes.
02:23Right now.
02:24Good luck.
02:41So, Ms. Brooks, what do you see in this room?
02:45Well, it's deliberate.
02:50Controlled.
02:51Powerful.
02:53It's impressive, but-
02:55But?
02:57It's not...
02:59satisfying.
03:01Bold again.
03:05Tell me, how do you know it's satisfying?
03:08Satisfaction lies somewhere in between.
03:11You think you can give me that?
03:13Think you can take the risk and find out?
03:23All yours.
03:28Hey.
03:31The women out there would do anything to be in the position you're in.
03:35Unless you have other ideas.
03:43Don't make me regret this risk.
03:44You're at this risk.
03:45I don't plan to.
03:49The position's been filled.
03:50Go home.
03:53Get out!
03:54Damn.
03:55He doesn't have to be so rude.
03:56Pappy, your phone's upside down.
04:12Hi, how are you feeling?
04:13Hey, jubilation?
04:14Not doing too well, honey.
04:15Damn hospital postponed my surgery again.
04:16I'm so sorry, Pappy.
04:17I'm working things out with the hospital.
04:18I have some good news today, though.
04:19I'm sorry.
04:20Uh, I think that's my landlord.
04:21I have to go.
04:22Love you.
04:23Bye-bye.
04:24Oh.
04:25What the hell is he doing here?
04:26What are you doing here?
04:28Oh, what the hell?
04:29Hey.
04:30Whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:31Guys.
04:32Whoa.
04:33Hey, don't take that.
04:35I didn't know you were talking about the hospital.
04:36Hey, I'm sorry.
04:37I'm sorry.
04:38I'm sorry.
04:39I'm sorry.
04:40I'm sorry.
04:41I'm sorry.
04:42I'm sorry.
04:43Uh, I think that's my landlord.
04:44I have to go.
04:45Love you.
04:46Bye-bye.
04:48Oh.
04:49What the hell is he doing here?
04:52I did not agree to this.
04:55Actually, you did.
04:59The signing must reside on Mr. Mercer.
05:01I can't quite hear you.
05:04Must reside with Mr. Mercer for the duration of the project?
05:08How long?
05:10Keep reading.
05:11And definitely without exception?
05:19A gift.
05:20What the fuck?
05:23A gift in exchange for being kidnapped?
05:26No thanks.
05:30I need to know where you're at at all times.
05:34It's a tracker.
05:35What?
05:36Like a dark color?
05:38Do you think you own me now?
05:40I wouldn't do that.
05:41Come on, let's go.
05:43This is insane.
05:43Just give me a second to put Crumpet in his carrier and call my grandfather.
05:47No.
05:47There are no animals in the mansion.
05:50You must say goodbye to your little Crumpet.
05:53What?
05:54Absolutely not.
05:56I told you in the contract that I will take care of everything.
06:00I don't care about the contract.
06:02What?
06:02Oh my God!
06:03Goodbyes are always so hard.
06:06Put me down!
06:07What are you doing?
06:11Welcome back, Miss Brooks.
06:13So, I'm not allowed to leave?
06:16If you leave, your contract will be terminated immediately.
06:19And what?
06:19You're just going to leave me all alone here?
06:21Would you like me to join you?
06:22No, no, no, no.
06:34Why is it making that sound?
06:36Damn, if I leave, Pappy dies.
06:39Shit, I'm trapped with this monster.
06:42Oh my God, is this really happening?
06:44I'm stuck.
06:45This is your uniform.
06:57Work hours have started already.
06:59Tidy yourself up.
07:01Report to Mr. Mercer.
07:02Oh, and, uh, chop chop, Miss Brooks.
07:09Mr. Mercer does not like to be kept waiting.
07:21Feel the heat caught in the fire
07:24Your body moves, feel my desire
07:28Touch the edge, hold me tight
07:32Lost in this moment
07:34Enjoying the view?
07:37No, I, um, just didn't want to disturb you.
07:41I don't mind if you stare.
07:43Sorry, Sarah, I was just interested in your build.
07:47The building, the build of the mansion
07:51that we're building to work on today.
07:55What time are we leaving for?
07:57Car leaves in ten minutes.
07:59Great.
08:00I'll be ready.
08:02How much further?
08:14Patience, Miss Brooks.
08:25Oh my, tough guy.
08:27Hey, Foxy, I got something that'll keep that jaw clenched.
08:36Wow.
08:37Original.
08:38Mr. Mercer, we didn't know you was coming in today.
08:41Get off my property.
08:42What?
08:43You're fired.
08:44Leave.
08:45Oh, what the hell?
08:46I worked on the last nine Mercer mansions,
08:48and now I'm fired because of this bitch?
08:50If I collapse your lung...
08:54Wait, did he just stand up for me?
08:56Sir, how about you?
08:58Continue your work with Miss Brooks,
09:00and I'll handle this.
09:03Come on.
09:06Everything's nearly finished.
09:07I'm gonna have a team come in and make some final measurements over here,
09:10and I'll ensure they know how to keep their mouth shut.
09:13Uh, is this all marble?
09:21Seeing her in my house gives me a strange feeling.
09:24It's so beautiful.
09:25What is it about her?
09:27Why do I want to...
09:28Follow me.
09:29Wow, an elevator?
09:37By the way, what you did out there, thank you.
09:40I'd dismiss you just as fast if I wasn't pleased with your work, Miss Brooks.
09:44Remember that.
09:50Your first task for the client.
09:53I don't know anything about the client.
09:55Who is...
09:56We don't ask about the client.
09:58We only worry about what they desire.
10:01Okay.
10:02Am I allowed to know what the purpose of this room is?
10:05Yes.
10:06Great.
10:07The client would like this room transformed
10:11into their BDSM chambers.
10:16I hope she doesn't see right through me.
10:20So, how would you do it?
10:25Uh...
10:26Paint me a picture.
10:28Right.
10:30Uh, over here, I would put a chaise lounge.
10:36Velvet.
10:37Obviously.
10:38Obviously.
10:39And over here would be a great place to mount a swing.
10:41One with adjustable heights and handles.
10:45And next to it, we could put a cabinet for whips and toys and things.
10:49You're very well versed.
10:52I read a lot.
10:55Certain genres of certain books have certain details.
10:58Right.
10:59Right.
11:00Of course.
11:02Yeah, it's perfectly normal.
11:03A lot of women read fantasy and romance and fantasy romance.
11:08Anyway, uh, this would be a great place to mount wall cuffs.
11:15I'm drowning in the heat
11:21Afraid of what I need
11:27Your touch is like a flame
11:32But I can't turn your way
11:35Hello?
11:43Miss Brooks, I'm sorry.
11:44We need the payment.
11:46Uh, I understand.
11:47Is there anything I could do now to hold him there?
11:50Anything that could be done right now?
11:52We need your payment, Miss Brooks.
11:53By tomorrow morning.
11:54All $200,000.
11:57Okay.
11:57I'll get it to you.
11:58I promise.
12:01Sorry.
12:02Your contract explicitly states that I receive 100% of your attention at work.
12:09Who was that?
12:11It's personal.
12:12There are no personal calls at work.
12:16I'm sorry.
12:23Mr. Mercer, it won't happen again.
12:25I'll get to work right away.
12:26I'll have designs to you by tomorrow morning.
12:32Take it off.
12:34What?
12:37Your jacket.
12:40Mr. Mercer...
12:43I won't ask twice.
12:53What's this for?
12:56It's perfect.
13:01Now go get dressed.
13:02No need to pout, Miss Brooks.
13:24You'll be reading some of the top designers.
13:26I don't understand.
13:27How does this take priority over work?
13:30Am I your date or your designer?
13:32You are.
13:35When I say you are.
13:36Ladies and gentlemen,
13:50it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the annual architectural ball,
13:56proudly hosted by the Mercer Group.
13:58I'd also like to welcome and introduce our newest interior designer,
14:07Miss Cecilia Brooks.
14:12I thought you said you had the job.
14:14I did everything that I could.
14:17Mitch must have slept with him in the interview.
14:18Fine.
14:20I'll fix it myself.
14:24So without further ado, please enjoy your drinks and have a wonderful night.
14:29Let me have this dance.
14:38Okay.
14:38Okay.
14:42Sterling!
14:43I was hoping that maybe we could walk and talk.
14:48Or maybe dance and discuss.
14:52You must be working so hard.
14:55I was thinking maybe you would benefit from a designer who really knows you.
15:01Your past.
15:02I'm not interested in rehashing old relationships, no.
15:07It was just a flint.
15:09It doesn't mean we can't be close.
15:12Sterling could be a difficult person to work for.
15:20You know you can come to me if you need anything.
15:28Get your pants off of her!
15:32What the hell are you doing here, Vincent?
15:36Folks, looks like the jester came to play!
15:41Get him out of here.
15:47It's alright, folks.
15:48Enjoy the party.
15:49It's okay.
15:50Are you okay?
15:52Why don't you go grab a drink?
15:54I'm going to take care of this.
16:02Crazy night, huh?
16:05Too crazy.
16:06I'm Nora.
16:07A close friend of Sterling's.
16:09So, tell me, how's the new position treating you?
16:14It's demanding.
16:16And the client?
16:17What's your feel on them?
16:18Oh, I'm not at liberty to discuss that.
16:21Come on, it must be crazy, right?
16:23I really can't.
16:25Oh, how embarrassing.
16:35What are you doing in here?
16:37Cecilia, I'm sorry.
16:38I'm so done with their whole world.
16:43Yeah, the head of the board was barking my ear off me.
16:47Stop it!
16:48What?
16:48I'm just trying to help.
16:49Help?
16:50Really?
16:51That's rich.
16:53I mean, I am rich.
16:55You.
16:56You are a lot of things.
16:58From the moment I met you, you've controlled every aspect of my life.
17:01Every movement I make.
17:02You're obsessive, cryptic, a perfectionist.
17:07But you're not rich.
17:09Not where it counts.
17:09Phil, excuse me.
17:29I have work to do.
17:35Ooh.
17:39This hand.
17:46What if?
17:49Maybe cuffs?
17:51What if we hang something around here?
18:08Is that me?
18:09Did I say you could come in here?
18:13Uh, you'll be happy to know that I worked on these all night.
18:26Maybe if you stayed at the gala, you would have learned something.
18:29Learned what?
18:30You follow through with your obligations, so you wouldn't waste your time working on garbage.
18:34Garbage?
18:36I'll need five more by tomorrow morning.
18:38That will take me all night.
18:39Even making those two took me all night, and I barely got them done in time.
18:43You've done it once before.
18:45You can do it again.
18:46Don't you think?
18:47Maybe, just maybe, that's an unreasonable amount of time.
18:51Maybe.
18:52I don't care.
18:53Wait.
18:54I should have remembered.
18:56It's not in the contract.
18:57Oh, my God.
19:12Excuse me, miss.
19:13Where's my grandfather?
19:15I'm sorry.
19:16Usually if they're not in the room, it's because the insurance ran out or...
19:18Miss Brooks?
19:33Yes?
19:34I just wanted to inform you that your grandfather just received his first round of stem cell treatment.
19:39He's being very well taken care of.
19:41I don't understand.
19:41How is that possible?
19:42I can't afford that.
19:45I told you.
19:47I'll take care of everything.
19:48What?
19:50I can't believe this.
19:57Oh, but...
19:58But why?
20:00Why would you do that?
20:01Well, when I said I needed your undivided attention, I meant it.
20:05Now the only thing you have to worry about is me.
20:12I'm not your slave.
20:18Five designs by tomorrow morning.
20:26You're welcome.
20:33I've been expecting you.
20:34I have a feeling I'll be impressed.
20:37Brushed work is not work to be proud of.
20:44Is this you?
20:45And my parents.
20:46They must be so proud of you.
20:48They never got to see it.
20:49I inherited this company before I was old enough to run it.
20:53I'm so sorry.
20:54It was a long time ago.
20:55What happened?
20:56They vanished.
20:57On a work trip into Europe.
20:59Guess I don't control everything after all.
21:01I'm going to deliver these designs to everyone.
21:03I have a surprise for you.
21:10To your first approval.
21:16It's beautiful.
21:17I do have a request, though.
21:22I was wondering if I could...
21:24I could have a little freedom.
21:26From what?
21:27Me?
21:28No.
21:29No, not you.
21:31I'm this.
21:32Well...
21:33I need to keep track of you.
21:36I mean...
21:37What if...
21:38Sterling...
21:39I'm not your parents.
21:42I'll be fine.
21:43I just don't know if I'm ready for that yet.
21:46But you continue to impress me.
21:47I mean...
21:48You'll be free as a bird.
21:49I do have more surprises to show you.
22:05But, um...
22:06You're gonna have to wait till tomorrow.
22:08Hmm.
22:09Full of surprises.
22:11Aren't you?
22:11Yeah.
22:11And that's why I can't let you go.
22:29What are you two doing here?
22:34There's not supposed to be anyone working today.
22:35We were just swinging by to assess a minor electrical concern.
22:38It seems that the circuit...
22:39It is nothing urgent.
22:40We're gonna come back tomorrow with the rest of the crew and get it resolved.
22:44Okay.
22:46Thank you for the update.
22:48Thank you, Mr. Mercer.
22:53I've ordered these beautiful pieces.
22:55White marble.
22:58What the hell?
22:59It's kind of beautiful.
23:05No, no.
23:05It's a mistake.
23:09It's not too perfect.
23:11It's bold.
23:12It's not trying hard.
23:12It just...
23:14is.
23:15Well, I like my work to be...
23:17Intentional.
23:20Well, I would argue that this...
23:23elevates the intention of the space.
23:25The juxtaposition between...
23:27control and chaos.
23:28You have good eyes, Ms. Brooks.
23:31Follow me.
23:38Your second task for the client.
23:41Master bedroom...
23:41and nursery.
23:44Oh.
23:44The client's a family man.
23:46We don't discuss the client.
23:48Only satisfy their needs.
23:52Would you like to see your designs?
23:53Would you like to see your designs?
23:54Is it not what you thought?
24:10Is it not what you thought?
24:13No, it's...
24:14It's not that.
24:15It...
24:15The power went up.
24:21There's no signal.
24:22Yeah, the...
24:23soundproofing they put up, uh...
24:25cuts signal.
24:26What?
24:27No.
24:28No.
24:28It's not funny.
24:41I'm not laughing.
24:43How long until someone notices that we're gone?
24:45I don't know.
24:46An hour?
24:48Maybe two?
24:49Is it Nora?
24:51The client?
24:52What?
24:53No.
24:54You're not supposed to ask about the client.
24:56Just tell me.
24:57No.
24:58It's not.
24:59Is she...
25:00more?
25:02I built this room because I believed in your vision.
25:06I cleared your schedule.
25:08I cleared your stressors.
25:09All because...
25:11I wanted you.
25:13You're not supposed to be.
25:43Sir, your...
25:50seven o'clock is waiting upstairs.
26:02Tuck your shirt in, sir.
26:10I know.
26:12I know.
26:14Ah!
26:15Who the hell are you?
26:16Well, calm down, sweetie.
26:18Put Crumpet down.
26:21Listen, sweetie.
26:22I work for Mr. Mercer.
26:24He hired me to take care of your grandpa and Crumpet until you return.
26:28Sweetie, what are you doing home?
26:30What am I doing?
26:33This is Agnes, my nurse.
26:35She's taking care of me.
26:36Oh.
26:37I'm sorry.
26:38I'm so embarrassed.
26:43Um...
26:43Hello?
26:45Why are you at your apartment?
26:47If you're there, there's no need for Agnes to stay employed.
26:50Cece, you're ruining my chances.
26:52Go back, Cece.
26:53Oh, okay.
26:54Okay.
26:54Go back.
26:55Everything's all right.
26:57Agnes has taken very good care of me.
26:58Okay.
26:59Okay, Pappy.
26:59I'll go.
27:00Um, it was nice meeting you, Agnes.
27:03Nice to meet you, dear.
27:04What the hell?
27:16He has a girlfriend?
27:23What was I thinking?
27:24What was I thinking?
27:34What was I thinking?
28:04I got you now, bitch.
28:08I found her address.
28:26Sterling.
28:28Sterling.
28:29Can we talk?
28:30I don't have the time, Miss Brooks.
28:32Sterling, it's important.
28:33Please.
28:33Well, I'm dealing with something.
28:34Figure it out yourself.
28:45You might want to ask me why I'm here, you psycho.
28:48I don't give a damn what you have to say.
28:50I don't trust you.
28:52Well, maybe you should start.
28:54Because I know a dirty little secret about you.
28:56You're about to be broke.
29:04I'm here to offer you a buyout.
29:07Get out.
29:08Hear me out.
29:09Instead of your accounts.
29:10Instead of your accounts being compromised.
29:10Instead of your accounts being compromised facing bankruptcy and becoming the embarrassment of architecture.
29:16We could merge as Hale Mercer.
29:20Even has a nice name.
29:22Oh, you're way out of line.
29:24Am I?
29:24Because someone pretty close to you seems to be worried about you.
29:28Besides, if you don't accept this buyout, I'll publish the information and Mercer designs will go bye-bye.
29:38Is that a threat?
29:39Think of it.
29:40Think of it.
29:41Or of a...
29:43bribe.
29:47Get the hell out of my property.
29:49And out of my sight.
29:51Now!
29:52Miss Brooks, in my office immediately.
30:07Are you sure you want me in there or not your other woman friend?
30:11What are you talking about?
30:12Hand me your sketches.
30:16I have designs, but they're not the originals.
30:18The originals are missing or lost.
30:22What do you mean lost?
30:23I finished the designs last night and I fell asleep, but when I woke up they weren't in my room anymore.
30:28You're lying.
30:29I'm lying?
30:30Why don't you tell that to the next girl you bring over?
30:33Excuse me?
30:34You're so careless.
30:35Careless?
30:36Me?
30:37I'm pretty sure you're the one who's talking about losing sketches.
30:41Something you won't have to deal with anymore.
30:43Marley's gonna be taking you to the project mansion.
30:47Hopefully you can figure out your sketches problems there.
30:51You may go.
30:52Take her and her belongings to the project mansion.
30:53Anything I should know, sir?
30:54She can't be trusted.
30:55And check the cameras.
30:56We have a mole.
30:57Yes, sir.
30:58Yes, sir.
30:59Miss Brooks.
31:00What are you doing here?
31:01Well, um, I, uh, had to get some artwork for the client.
31:02You don't trust me.
31:03Not to.
31:04Not to.
31:05You're not trusting me?
31:06You're not trusting me?
31:07You're the one with another person.
31:08You can't be trusted.
31:09You're the one with another person.
31:10You can't be trusted.
31:11Yes, sir.
31:16Miss Brooks.
31:18What are you doing here?
31:21Well, um, I, uh, had to get some artwork for the client.
31:28You don't trust me.
31:30That, too.
31:32You not trusting me?
31:34You were the one with another woman after all that
31:36I did this all for you bullshit.
31:38Okay, what woman are you talking about here?
31:40You can't lie to me.
31:41I saw you with her.
31:43I saw you with her.
31:44Okay, okay, okay.
31:45If it makes you feel any better, I...
31:47I promise I'm looking into my...
31:52You promise?
31:55I promise.
31:56I thought you didn't trust me, that you were mad at me?
32:18We are two and hard to resist.
32:33Let's go inside.
32:34Eyes like knives, you cut right through.
32:38Eyes like knives, you cut right through.
32:51Every look says what you do.
32:54Pull me under, soft and deep.
32:57You're the secret I can't keep.
33:00Breath on glass, you trace my name.
33:04No one else can play this game.
33:07You don't ask, you just take.
33:10And I give, and I pray.
33:13Well, hello.
33:16I'm here for Mr. Brooks.
33:18I'm sorry, what exactly is this for?
33:20I'm the treatment nurse.
33:21I'll be taking him to his appointment for today.
33:23Oh, Mr. Brooks doesn't have an appointment today.
33:25I can assure you he does.
33:27Well, thank you for coming.
33:33Can I bring Crumpet?
33:34Yes, Mr. Brooks.
33:36Bring the cat.
33:56Hello, Cecilia.
33:57I'll need your full cooperation.
33:59I have something of yours you might want back.
34:02Now that I've got your attention,
34:04I need a little favor.
34:06Bring me Mercer's Legacy One design.
34:08You can't do this.
34:09But see, I already have, sweetheart.
34:12Give me the designs.
34:13Tell Sterling and your sweet old pappy guys
34:16and your little cat too, your choice.
34:19I've been reviewing project management assets
34:22four days late on the Hudson property.
34:24The client is not happy.
34:26Mr. Mercer is not happy.
34:29Pick it up or I'll give your work to her.
34:31She's three days ahead.
34:32Is there a personal email?
34:35Is there a personal email?
34:35Sweetie, you don't have to do this.
34:55Too late, old man.
34:58Who the fuck are you?
35:00Your worst nightmare.
35:02Baby!
35:03I'm so glad you made it.
35:04I set all this up for you.
35:06This better work.
35:16Sterling Mercer's Legacy Designs.
35:19Just like I asked.
35:22Sterling, you won't even know what hit you.
35:25Now let my grandfather go.
35:27He's all yours.
35:28A deal is a deal, pretty lady.
35:30Sterling Mercer's Legacy Designs.
35:36Cece, don't!
35:37Get out of here!
35:38Look, look!
35:48Oh...
35:49Show me the video.
35:53Yes, sir.
35:53Look.
35:54Oh...
35:54Show me the video.
35:55Yes, sir.
35:56She knew how to evade the cameras.
35:59I can't identify her, but we knew her enough to let her in.
36:04Keep this video between us.
36:07Yes, sir.
36:20Cecilia!
36:22Sterling, you're not working from home today?
36:24What are you doing here?
36:26Who have you been talking to?
36:28No one.
36:28I, uh, just, I needed to pick up some paint samples, and this was on the way.
36:32On the way to what?
36:34We're like 20 miles south of home.
36:37I'm getting my necklace cleaned.
36:40So if you can't find me or track me for any reason, that's why.
36:50Why do you need your necklace cleaned?
36:52I've just been working a lot.
36:53Uh, the drafting table is super dusty, and I don't want to take a mess up.
36:59It's a woman thing.
37:00I'm trusting you, right now.
37:09I know.
37:10What the hell is going on?
37:26Good girl.
37:29Right on time.
37:31Good girl.
37:45Right on time.
37:48Well, don't hesitate now, sweetheart.
37:50Or they're dead.
37:51Come on, Cecilia.
37:55Do it.
38:00Sterling Mercer's legacy designs.
38:03Just like I asked.
38:05Oh.
38:06Sterling, you won't even know what hit you.
38:09Now let my grandfather go.
38:10He's all yours.
38:12A deal is a deal, pretty lady.
38:19Cece, go!
38:20Get out of here!
38:22Look, look!
38:23I've had a change of heart.
38:40Please.
38:41No.
38:43This way.
38:43You really know how to tie the room together, darling.
38:57Sterling has my location.
38:59You have no idea what you're in for.
39:01Oh, but I think I do.
39:04You see, when that timer goes off,
39:07you and that little tracker
39:10and this entire place will go bye-bye
39:12and then that will pave way
39:14for the construction site
39:15of all hail designs.
39:18He'll find me.
39:19And when he does...
39:20That's very unlikely, Cecilia.
39:23Now that Sterling has this video,
39:26no one's coming to save you.
39:28Screw you.
39:30Screw both of you!
39:31Oh, oh, oh.
39:33But I almost have everything I need.
39:37His financials, his accounts.
39:40You see, the only thing that is missing, my dear,
39:44is the contact for Sterling's project mansion.
39:48What?
39:49Why does that matter?
39:51Well, once I have the contact,
39:54I can put in a bid under his.
39:58Therefore, Mercer will no longer have any names
40:00attached to any property.
40:04That will never happen.
40:07Who's the client?
40:12How much was the bid offer?
40:16I don't know.
40:18Oh, you'll remember.
40:21Trust me.
40:23Even if I did,
40:25I wouldn't tell you.
40:26So, tell me,
40:37who is the client?
40:41He took care of my family.
40:43I'm never going to sell him out.
40:45Unless you forget, sweetheart.
40:50You already gave me the plans.
40:54So, therefore, you are already a betrayer.
40:58Promise?
40:59I don't know anything.
41:01Well, I can see that you're a lady of your word,
41:06which makes it kind of harder to believe you.
41:08So, tell you what.
41:11This is how it's going to go.
41:12You're going to tell me,
41:14and then you,
41:16Pappy,
41:16and little Kitty
41:17can go free
41:19while Mercer Designs burns to the ground.
41:22or
41:24I could kill you
41:26right here.
41:29Right now.
41:31And Mercer Designs falls anyway.
41:36Okay.
41:37Decisions, decisions, darling!
41:38Wait, no!
41:39No, I'll tell you!
41:40I'll tell you anything you want to know!
41:41Please, don't touch him!
41:42I'll tell you!
41:43Tell me
41:53everything.
41:57I don't...
41:58I don't know a lot.
42:00I just...
42:02I know she's very private,
42:04very secretive.
42:06She only talks to Sterling.
42:08She's an older,
42:10conservative woman.
42:12Liar!
42:14That night that I dosed Sterling
42:16with that sleeping elixir,
42:18I found your little project mansion
42:20and that newly built BDSM room.
42:23Oh, and then all the plans
42:25that I stole from Cecilia's bedroom?
42:27They were for a nursery.
42:29Both rooms that an elderly woman
42:31wouldn't need in a new home.
42:33You drugged him?
42:34Yes!
42:34I drugged him!
42:41And then,
42:42I ransacked his mail.
42:43It's where I found you,
42:46your address,
42:47and your little cat, too.
42:51Well, then,
42:54looks like you chose...
42:58Oh!
42:59Oh, I'm sorry,
43:01my sweetness,
43:01but
43:02our short little affair
43:04is over.
43:06Excuse me?
43:07Well,
43:09obviously,
43:09I don't need your services
43:10any longer.
43:12Besides,
43:14I don't
43:15do
43:16witnesses.
43:17Sterling,
43:24help me,
43:24please!
43:25Sterling,
43:25wait,
43:25it's a trap!
43:26Sterling,
43:27please,
43:27you have to help me!
43:28Watch out!
43:35Tell me how to
43:36disarm it!
43:37Now!
43:40Fuck,
43:41why?
43:41You little bitch!
43:50Nora,
43:50stop!
43:51Put down the knife!
43:53She kidnapped me!
43:54I've been waiting here
43:54for hours for you!
43:56Put down the knife!
43:57Come on,
43:57let me at her one last time!
43:59She betrayed you!
44:00She's the one who gave up
44:02the Legacy One
44:02and the third floor!
44:05Wait,
44:05how do you know about
44:06the Legacy One project?
44:07That was confidential.
44:08That little bitch,
44:09she told Vincent
44:10everything!
44:11No,
44:12she's lying!
44:13It's all because of her!
44:17She drugged you!
44:18No,
44:18I didn't,
44:19you bitch!
44:20When I thought
44:20I saw you with that woman?
44:23Then now you lost
44:24the designs.
44:25No!
44:26No,
44:26that wasn't me!
44:27Okay,
44:27Vincent made me do it!
44:29He said he threatened
44:30my family!
44:30I had no other choice!
44:33I don't believe you.
44:35Arrest her!
44:36No!
44:38No!
44:40Drop some lights!
44:41Come on,
44:41come on!
44:42Stop!
44:44Vincent,

44:50gets against you
44:50and you're going to fall.
44:52Wait,
44:52no,
44:52not in time for us.
44:54I'm so sorry.
44:55It's okay.
44:56It's okay.
44:57But I gave them
44:58your designs.
44:58I didn't know
44:59what else to do.
44:59I was trying to save them.
45:01Didn't mean to.
45:02You're safe.
45:02You're safe.
45:03Okay?
45:05Vincent,
45:05we'll be able
45:05to touch the project.
45:06I'm so happy

45:16I'll always
45:17find you.
45:20How?
45:20Because I know you.
45:26That moment
45:27in the parking lot

45:28from your eyes
