00:00My name is Elle Vanderbilt.
00:04Three years ago, I left everything behind
00:06to marry the love of my life
00:08and become an assistant at his company.
00:10And today on our third anniversary,
00:12I'm finally ready to tell him my biggest secret.
00:30Elle, it's a disaster.
00:32Digitech's server has been hacked.
00:34Our system's about to collapse in the next five minutes.
00:36Calm down. I got this.
00:38How? Even our best engineers are lost.
00:40Dr. Nova saved us during the last attack,
00:42but no one knows who she is.
00:44I said I got this.
00:46But are you even carrying your laptop with you?
00:50Well, I'm never without a laptop.
00:52Excuse me, sir. Can I get a hot dog, please?
00:54Certainly, miss. Be out in just a minute.
00:58That's all I need.
01:30Your hot dog's ready, miss.
01:48$10,000 approved.
01:51Miss, this is...
01:54The best hot dog I've ever had.
02:00El, the system's back up. How did you do it? Did you find Dr. Nova?
02:08The big secret I'm going to tell my husband tonight?
02:11I am Dr. Nova.
02:13Youngest Stanford PhD in the world's top cybersecurity tech.
02:18City Hall.
02:19I can't believe it was three years ago today that Leon and I got married here.
02:30No, I told you, find me Dr. Nova.
02:42I don't care how much I need her out of my company.
02:45Gotta go, my contract bribe is here.
02:47Hey there.
02:52I suppose an introduction is in order.
02:55I'm Roy Grant, Yale PhD and sole heir to the second wealthiest family in the country.
03:04Hi.
03:04Hey.
03:05Elle Vanderbilt.
03:07High school diploma.
03:08Executive assistant.
03:09Just a normal girl.
03:11None of that matters to me.
03:14Now, let's get married.
03:17I'm sorry, excuse me?
03:18No, I'm...
03:19I'm already married.
03:22Married?
03:23I...
03:23I thought we agreed on half a million dollars for a no-hassle contract marriage.
03:29I'm sorry, I think you're mistaking me for someone else.
03:33Look, I gotta go, but good luck with your contract marriage.
03:52Happy anniversary, my love.
03:53Jan, what is this?
04:07Sign this, Elle.
04:14What is that?
04:15Is that obvious?
04:17I'm divorcing you, Elle.
04:20What?
04:22Well...
04:23Digitech just won a billion-dollar government contract.
04:29Which means that Leon here is the number one tech CEO in the country.
04:35He can't have an assistant who's a lowlight as a wife.
04:40Look, honey, I was just coming...
04:41Don't call me that.
04:44I should have never married a worthless woman to begin with.
04:47Worthless?
04:49I wrote the prototype that got you that billion-dollar contract.
04:52Because I am the real-
04:54You are nothing, Elle.
04:57Natasha's the one who wrote that prototype.
05:00Ten minutes back, she single-handedly saved Digitech systems from collapsing.
05:04Because she...
05:06is Dr. Nova.
05:07Truth is, Elle, I'm the greatest tech genius in the world.
05:20And you...
05:21You're just an assistant with no money and no college degree.
05:26Are you really surprised that Leon is leaving you for me?
05:30Leon, this woman is a liar.
05:31Are you calling this humble genius a liar?
05:37Natasha's the Dr. Nova who secretly helped me for three years without seeking recognition.
05:44Unlike you, who's been leeching off me.
05:47She'll help Digitech achieve success you can never imagine, Elle.
05:54That is a lie.
05:55I'm the one that sacrificed three years of my life to build this company because I am Dr. Nova.
06:01Are you sure, Leon, that Natasha is this tech genius you've been looking for?
06:08Because from where I stand, she seems pretty fake.
06:11How dare you, you bitch!
06:16Leon, did you see that? She just attacked me!
06:18How dare you! Apologize to Natasha! Now!
06:23Seriously? You saw what she just did and now you're asking me, your wife, to apologize to this homewrecker?
06:30It's time to face the truth, Elle.
06:33You are nothing compared to Natasha.
06:41Will you be my date tonight at the banquet, Dr. Nova?
06:48Here's a million dollars. Sign the divorce papers and you get it.
06:54Just take it, Elle. You know you want it.
06:58You won't make that much money in two lifetimes.
07:03Don't let them see you cry, Elle.
07:06Leon doesn't deserve the love or the energy I put into this company for him.
07:18We'll see how long it takes for you to regret this.
07:26Oh, and now it's for the money?
07:35I don't need it.
07:37Suit yourself. Don't come crying back to me when you're dying, broke, and all alone.
07:44Yeah, we'll see about that.
07:55Hey.
07:58You need a wife, right?
08:01I'll marry you. For free.
08:03Are you sure?
08:12What about your husband back there?
08:14That's Leon Hurst. The Lizard. Hotshot Tech CEO, right?
08:19Ex-husband. He means nothing to me anymore.
08:23Um, well, all right.
08:26Just so you know, it's a contract marriage. Just to get my family off my back.
08:34Sounds perfect. Shall we?
08:38There's something about her. Why am I so intrigued?
08:48Hello?
08:49Boss, we have a massive data breach on our mainframe. All our data will be wiped out if it isn't fixed now.
08:55Oh, my God. I'll be right there. I'm sorry. I gotta run. There's an emergency at work.
09:00I'll go with you. I mean, we're married now. I'd like to see what you do.
09:06Besides, maybe I could help.
09:11Ladies first.
09:19You work for AlphaTech?
09:26Oh, I don't work for AlphaTech. I own AlphaTech.
09:40AlphaTech is the biggest player in cybersecurity.
09:43If I wasn't helping Leon, AlphaTech would have wiped them out and they would have landed a billion dollar contract.
09:48Interesting. My new husband is my ex-husband's biggest business nemesis.
09:56Attention, everyone. As you know, we've just beaten our biggest competitor, AlphaTech, to secure the billion dollar contract.
10:08Which I will be signing tonight at the prestigious tech gala hosted by the government.
10:14Yeah. Come on.
10:18Also, at the banquet, I'll be announcing Digitech's new chief technologist, Natasha Wilson, a.k.a. the legendary Dr. Nova.
10:28Yeah, let's hear it.
10:35Natasha's Dr. Nova?
10:36I thought I would be our chief technologist.
10:39She may have been an assistant, but she built this company from the ground up early on.
10:42I don't know if you haven't heard.
10:45Dude, Leon kicked her to the curb.
10:46What?
10:47How is she supposed to be with the Dr. Nova?
10:49Well done, Natasha. You've tricked them into believing that you are the genius, Dr. Nova.
10:56Fame and fortune, here I come.
10:58Boss, we've tried everything. These hacker vices are too strong.
11:08We only have ten minutes before we lose all our data permanently.
11:12All right, keep it cool. We've got this. I'm gonna go check the mainframe.
11:17It's over. It would take an Einstein to fix something like this in ten minutes.
11:21I can fix this.
11:34Candy Crush, do you even know how to start a computer?
11:36Yeah. Why don't you go touch up on your makeup or something? Don't waste our time.
11:40You're wasting more time by arguing.
11:42Who even are you? How did you get in here? You don't even...
11:45What's going on here?
11:46Roy, I can fix this.
11:48Well, this requires advanced coding skills. These folks have been at it for years.
11:54It's the hashing algorithm. They haven't been looking at it.
12:00Trust me. I won't let you fail.
12:03Why do I want to believe her?
12:07You have five minutes.
12:18System back online. All functions nominal.
12:30It's impossible. I've been in cyber security for 20 years and I couldn't crack it.
12:48Only the best of the best could have done this.
12:51Elle, come with me. We need to talk.
12:57There's only one person in the country that could have done that.
13:01And I've been looking for her for years.
13:03Are you Dr. Nova?
13:06Even my ex-husband of three years couldn't figure out that I was Dr. Nova.
13:16This man really sees me.
13:22Actually, I...
13:24Sir?
13:25Digitech just announced its new chief technologist. It's Dr. Nova.
13:30L's prick ex-husband Leon got Dr. Nova. I guess Elle isn't Dr. Nova after all.
13:41But she did fix that system back there.
13:42L, I would like you to be Alpha Tech's new chief technologist.
13:50That's an interesting proposal, right?
13:56You have a brilliant mind, Elle.
13:58And you know it.
14:00Alpha Tech's been top player for years.
14:02Until Leon Hurst got the billion dollar contract.
14:07But together, we can take him down.
14:10Plus, don't you want to see the look on your cheating ex-husband's face
14:14when he's defeated by his business nemesis and his ex-wife?
14:18The only reason Leon even has this contract is because of a prototype that I wrote.
14:23What he doesn't know is that I've written a new and enhanced AI-based prototype
14:27that will take down Leon's tech empire.
14:33All right, I'm in. Let's do this.
14:37Welcome to Alpha Tech.
14:44Please tell me that's not what you're wearing to your meeting.
14:48I thought about it.
14:50But I think it'll suit you better.
14:54This is tonight.
14:57The biggest gala for the top tech CEOs in the country.
15:02I heard your ex-husband will not only be signing the billion dollar contract there, but
15:08also introducing Dr. Nova to the world.
15:10What if I told you I'm the real Dr. Nova?
15:17Hey, you don't need to pretend to be someone else to impress me, Al.
15:23I'm already impressed by you, and I like you for who you are.
15:29He really means that.
15:32Being with him just, it feels right.
15:35Now, let's go and have some fun at this party tonight, shall we?
15:45Hey, Elle. I'm stuck in traffic, and it's pretty bad.
15:48I'll have to meet you at the banquet directly.
15:50Don't worry. I'm already here.
15:53All right. Well, I'll be there as soon as I can.
15:57Sorry.
15:57All these elites here to see me, the genius Dr. Nova.
16:18These are the country's top tech CEOs.
16:22Watch their faces burn when they see me sign the billion dollar contract tonight.
16:29It's Governor Smith.
16:31Coming to suck up to us, future rulers of the world.
16:36Dr. Nova.
16:38Wow.
16:38Stanford's youngest PhD.
16:41World's top cyber security expert.
16:45Geniuses like yourself are our country's greatest treasures.
16:48Thank you for coming to the banquet, Governor Smith.
16:51We can't wait to sign the contract.
16:52Of course, of course. And we'll get to all that once Roy Grant, Avatuck CEO, arrives.
16:57He's our only other gold VIP attendee here tonight, besides yourself.
17:03So in the meantime, why don't I go ahead and get the introduction started?
17:06Cheers.
17:11I can't believe it.
17:12Roy Grant, my biggest nemesis, is going to be here.
17:14Can't wait to see his face when he realizes I found you, the real Dr. Nova, before he could.
17:21Welcome, everyone. Welcome, welcome.
17:24I want to start tonight off by giving a huge congratulations to Digitech and its CEO, Mr. Leon Hurst.
17:32He is the winner of the government's prestigious multi-billion dollar contract.
17:36Put your hands together, ladies and gentlemen.
17:39Now, I know. I know. We're all curious and eager to find out who the tech genius is behind all of this success.
17:46Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, the brilliant, the beautiful Dr. Nova.
17:50Did the party already start without me?
18:07El Vanderbilt?
18:11That's Mr. Leon's ex-wife.
18:14She used to be his assistant.
18:16Look at her now.
18:17I bet she scored a huge alimony check.
18:20No way a bottom-dwelling assistant could afford that dress.
18:22Excuse us.
18:25El, what are you doing here?
18:30You torped that million dollar alimony check I generously offered you, remember?
18:34Are you crawling back because you want the money now?
18:37Oh, Leon.
18:37You can't afford what I'm worth.
18:41El, did you come back to collect that ugly little cactus you left on your office desk?
18:47Well, cactus can thrive anywhere, unlike parasites who leach off others.
18:52You.
18:56El, you're a pathetic loser who's just jealous of Natasha's brilliance.
19:02Well, Leon, the only thing Natasha has on me is thick skin to be a homewrecker.
