Private Affair Falling For A Secret Billionaire (2025) - FULL HD [Eng Sub]
Transcript
00:00What's your name?
00:01Callahan.
00:02Private.
00:03Do you know who I am?
00:04I know exactly who you are.
00:06You're really bad at making friends.
00:08I'm not here to make friends.
00:10Surprise!
00:11You weren't supposed to be here till tomorrow.
00:13Maybe you've forgotten what's at stake.
00:15This assignment is about redemption.
00:16Rebellion.
00:17Are you afraid of me?
00:18No.
00:19I think you're afraid of me.
00:20You can't be here.
00:21I know.
00:22Just don't talk.
00:23What are you running from?
00:25Everything.
00:26You're crawling around with a soldier.
00:27You barely know.
00:28I'm not.
00:29I can't do this again.
00:30I know.
00:31You made me fall for you walking around pretending
00:33to be someone else that you weren't.
00:34You want to hate me?
00:35Fine.
00:36But don't act like I'm the only one hiding behind the uniform.
00:38You humiliate me in front of half the base,
00:40and now you're sneaking around with him again.
00:41You will accept Jeremy's proposal.
00:43You will marry him for the next deployment.
00:45Do you understand me?
00:47Yes, sir.
00:48Do you take Captain Rose to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:54Miss Widmore?
00:55I...
00:58I'll be free.
00:59That's enough!
01:00You can't keep coming and going like this.
01:02It's killing me.
01:03Then let me stay.
01:05You sure?
01:06I'm sure.
01:07You uh...
01:10on my way there...
01:11You know I'll be on the-
01:12Wow!
01:13Looking that I know it's amazing.
01:14One of my...
01:15I love to know-
01:17You know I'll be on the one.
01:20Water broken.
01:21Is not broken.
01:22Make sure you likely don'tretch me here...
01:25You know I'll be on the one.
01:27So hard, ain't no fear, yeah...
01:30You ain't gotta do that.
01:32Poss Aus...
01:34I missed the ball.
01:54I caught what I wanted.
02:02This isn't the capital.
02:03There's no handlers, there's no headlines.
02:05Just duty and sweat.
02:08Try not to make a mess of you.
02:10Good to see you too, Dad.
02:12You're here because the optics are bad.
02:14You went off script.
02:16Again.
02:17I gave an honest answer to a dishonest question.
02:20I didn't like the building on fire.
02:22You embarrassed Rhodes.
02:23You embarrassed me.
02:25Maybe if you stopped treating me like a press release and started treating me like a person,
02:28I wouldn't keep embarrassing you.
02:31Rhodes will be here soon.
02:32You'll accompany him to drills.
02:34Keep appearances.
02:36I didn't ask to be here.
02:39And I sure as hell didn't ask for Rhodes.
02:41You're not here to ask.
02:43You're here to repair what your name used to mean.
02:44That'll do it.
02:56Of course.
03:00My buddy Jackson from back home taught me everything I know about engines.
03:03He knows his stuff, that's for sure.
03:04Good work, buddy.
03:06Private.
03:15That wasn't a suggestion.
03:19Didn't realize you outranked me, ma'am.
03:23I'm a civilian liaison to the operations commander.
03:26You're expected to acknowledge protocol.
03:28I thought you were just passing through.
03:29I'm stationed here, behind comms.
03:33Lucky us.
03:34What's your name?
03:36Callahan.
03:40Private.
03:41Are you always this friendly?
03:42Only to people who expect it.
03:48Try not to get your shoes dirty.
03:50Still attracting the wrong kind of attention, I see.
03:57Stay away from that one, if I were you.
04:00Have you always been this territorial, Harper?
04:02Only when you show up uninvited.
04:04I thought we outgrew this in Port Lexington.
04:07You outgrew the army.
04:09I didn't.
04:10Okay?
04:10Supply test, Alpha through Indigo.
04:21You'll supervise the loading for the med runs.
04:23Your detail's already been pulled.
04:25Uh, it says here, Private Callahan?
04:31You have a problem with that?
04:33I'm just surprised if that's someone with more experience, if I want to.
04:36He volunteered.
04:40I guess we're working together.
04:50I guess so.
04:51You volunteered?
04:53Somebody's got to move the boxes.
04:55So you're planning on taking orders, or are you going to play independent contractor again?
04:58That depends.
05:00You plan on giving orders, or just playing officer.
05:05Start with the bandages, and then the field kits.
05:09Don't drop anything.
05:10Unless you want to get struck, it might be time to stop playing supervisor.
05:25You really volunteered for this detail?
05:36It was either this, or sanitation.
05:38You'd probably be less irritating there.
05:41You think I'm irritating?
05:44You walk around like you don't answer to anyone.
05:47I walk around not pretending, either.
05:48Do you know who I am?
05:51I know exactly who you are.
05:53It doesn't mean I care.
05:55You're really bad at making friends.
05:57I'm not here to make friends.
05:59Cause I don't know what you're looking for.
06:10Wow.
06:12Cozy.
06:13Base brief has been pushed until after the thunderstorm.
06:16So, as you were.
06:19Perfect timing.
06:20As always.
06:21Were you not going to tell her that we were doing inventory?
06:25Were you going to tell her that we weren't?
06:37You weren't supposed to be here till tomorrow.
06:39I figured I'd surprise you.
06:41Thought you might need the motivation.
06:43I was in the middle of rounds.
06:46No, you're not.
06:47Come on, let's do a walkthrough together.
06:49You can show me what you've been up to.
06:51I have three more units to check and two more.
06:53Emma!
06:54I came all the way down here early.
06:57The least you can do is spend the next ten minutes
06:58speaking like you're still happy.
07:03This base is doing something to you.
07:05You seem tense.
07:07Maybe I'm just tired.
07:08Maybe you've forgotten what's at stake.
07:10This assignment is about redemption, not rebellion.
07:13I have work to do.
07:14You work for me, Emma.
07:16Or did that change while I was in the air?
07:27Jack.
07:28Finally.
07:29Hi, Mom.
07:29You look thin.
07:31Hard to stay full on rations and coffee.
07:34Tell me again while you're still out here
07:36pretending to be one of them.
07:38I'm not pretending.
07:39You're wasting time, Jack.
07:41Your father's getting worse.
07:43And you should be here
07:45learning how to take over Callahan Defense.
07:48Our stock is dropping.
07:49We're losing hundreds of millions in value every week.
07:54When your father's gone, you're it.
07:59I didn't know you work night shifts.
08:01You okay?
08:05I'm fine.
08:12You don't look fine.
08:15Must be the lighting.
08:17You don't talk much.
08:19You ever think that's why everyone wonders what your story is?
08:22I'm not here to be a story.
08:24What are you here for?
08:24Maybe I wanted to remember what it felt like to earn something.
08:30Or I got tired of being told of who I'm supposed to be.
08:33Sounds like someone with a past.
08:35We all got one here.
08:37Some of us are better at hiding it.
08:38Or too afraid to share it.
08:40Are you afraid of me?
08:41No.
08:44I think you're afraid of me.
08:45You can't be here.
09:04I know.
09:08Can't sleep?
09:10Not with everything in my head.
09:13You can be used to it.
09:15I don't want to get used to it.
09:17I don't know who you are.
09:19I don't care right now.
09:20Jack.
09:21Just don't talk.
09:45I can't do this to you.
09:46I know.
09:51What the hell are we doing?
09:54Something we both knew we couldn't stop.
09:56I don't get it.
10:00I don't get to make mistakes.
10:03Not here.
10:03Not with you.
10:04So that's what this was.
10:06A mistake.
10:07I don't need saving Emma.
10:08But I didn't think I would be somebody that you would regret.
10:14That's not what I was actually trying to get.
10:16You don't have to explain.
10:18I'll let myself out.
10:27You'll forget about this faster than I will.
10:29You've been quiet lately.
10:40Distant.
10:41Well, it's a forward operating base, Jeremy.
10:42Not exactly the Four Seasons.
10:44Look, I'm trying.
10:45I know I came in hot the other day.
10:48This place, it's bringing out your worst instincts.
10:50My worst instincts?
10:52You get reckless when you feel trapped.
10:54And you're not trapped.
10:55You just need to stay focused.
10:56You think I'm a problem with that?
10:58You need to remember what we came here to fix
10:59and not create more damage.
11:07Emma, stay away from him.
11:10I'm serious.
11:11You don't own me, Jeremy.
11:13Should I have to?
11:15Breakfast was great.
11:17As always.
11:21Are you here to inspect my stacking technique?
11:32I needed a minute.
11:34Are you OK?
11:35Jeremy cornered me at breakfast.
11:38Says that I'm distracted, that you're the distraction.
11:42Is that true?
11:43Depends.
11:44Depends on what?
11:46If you're worth it.
11:47You don't have to pretend I didn't leave.
11:49You don't have to pretend I didn't hurt.
11:51I can handle orders, even silence.
11:54But when you look at me like it didn't mean anything,
11:56now that's the part that screws with me.
11:58Anyone can walk in.
11:59Then don't say anything.
12:00You don't mean.
12:02I can't stop thinking about it.
12:05About you.
12:06Then say it when it matters.
12:08Not just when it's safe.
12:09Callahan, Jack, Unit 4.
12:25Who the hell are you?
12:28Why are you lying?
12:31What are you up to?
12:33Uh, just getting ahead of these logistics errors.
12:36Last week's were a mess.
12:37Well, let me know if you need help looking through some of the grunts.
12:41I know some of them come with complications.
12:44I can handle complications.
12:45I know.
12:46That's what worries me.
12:49You requested me?
12:50Just wanted to bring something to your attention.
12:53Callahan.
12:54Supplies unit.
12:55New detail.
12:56He's on Emma's logistics team?
12:58It was.
12:59He was reassigned twice in the last week,
13:01and he always ends up back in her proximity.
13:04Think he's targeting her?
13:05I think she's not thinking clearly, and he's taking advantage.
13:08There's something off about him.
13:10His transfer is clean, but too clean.
13:12I've been saying this.
13:14No one's listened.
13:15Let me help you take back what's yours.
13:17I didn't expect to see you today.
13:24Where were you stationed before this?
13:26Why?
13:26No reason.
13:28We don't talk much.
13:29Makes a girl wonder.
13:30Infantry training.
13:31Stateside.
13:32Low profile.
13:33That's all?
13:34That's all that matters.
13:37Right.
13:38Is there something you're not saying?
13:40No.
13:41Just trying to figure out who's on my team and who's pretending to be.
13:44Are you looking for a reason not to trust me?
13:47Maybe I'm looking for a reason to trust you.
13:58Okay, we need to have an actual conversation.
14:04Oh, after you've run my name through every restricted log on base.
14:09Who told you?
14:10It doesn't matter.
14:11It's the truth, isn't it?
14:12I trusted you, Emma.
14:14And I'm supposed to trust someone who doesn't even have a real service history?
14:17I didn't enlist to be tracked.
14:18I enlisted to disappear.
14:20And I did.
14:21Until you.
14:22What are you running from?
14:24Everything.
14:25But why can't you just tell me the truth?
14:27Because I want one thing that's real in my life before it gets ripped apart.
14:32You're Private Jack Callahan of Callahan Defense Systems.
14:34This field base alone is probably a half a billion dollar contract for you.
14:38Are you here for some sort of secret shopper bullshit?
14:40I'm here because I needed to understand the people that my family's weapons are killing.
14:44You wanted the truth?
14:46There it is.
14:47Look, I didn't want to bring you to this.
14:50I tried to keep you out of it.
14:51Then why did you kiss me?
14:53Why didn't you just leave?
14:54Because I couldn't.
14:55You think that makes it better?
14:56No, but it makes it honest.
14:58You made me fall for you, walking around, pretending to be someone else that you weren't.
15:01I wasn't pretending.
15:03I was trying to figure out who I really am.
15:06And then you happened.
15:10You want to hate me?
15:12Fine.
15:13But don't act like I'm the only one hiding behind a uniform.
15:16I'm not hiding.
15:18No?
15:18Then why are you still pretending you're okay with him?
15:21This isn't about Jeremy.
15:24Isn't it?
15:24Stay away from me.
15:38You sure about this?
15:39Transfer's going to flag command.
15:41I want to know why.
15:41Let them ask.
15:43I'll be gone before they even decide.
15:45Don't!
15:50You shouldn't be here.
15:52Then you shouldn't be leaving.
15:53What?
15:53You're just going to disappear?
15:54What else do you expect?
15:56Every day someone else comes sniffing around.
15:59Jeremy, Harper, your father, you.
16:03I wasn't trying to destroy you.
16:04I was trying to understand.
16:07Oh, and understanding comes with a background check?
16:09And trust doesn't come with silence.
16:12If you turn that in, you're not just walking away from the base.
16:15You're walking away from me.
16:17Maybe that's the only way to protect you.
16:19You don't get to decide that.
16:20Not when I'm standing right here.
16:21You've been quiet?
16:36I didn't know there's much left to say.
16:37You always say that, and then you say something that sticks in my head all night.
16:42My dad is sick.
16:44Stage four.
16:45Nobody's saying it out loud, but we all know it's coming.
16:48They want me to take over the company.
16:50Not just the public side.
16:53Weapons, tech, defense contracts, all of it.
16:56They're not just the type of company that asks for permission.
17:00They just build the tools and let the war sort themselves out.
17:03And you're next in line?
17:04Like a coronation, except for the part where they ask, do you want the crown?
17:13I joined up because I couldn't sleep at night thinking about the people that we were building
17:18for, what it felt like to be the person pulling the trigger, or carrying the gear, or not coming
17:24home.
17:24So you think this will fix it?
17:26No, but now I understand it.
17:29I never meant to drag you into this.
17:31I never expected you.
17:34I didn't expect any of this either.
17:38You've been visible lately.
17:42I've been performing my assigned duties.
17:45I'm not talking about duties.
17:47I'm talking about whispers.
17:49The kind that don't stay within the wire.
17:50The people you surround yourself with are a direct reflection on the space.
17:53And on me.
17:56And on the army.
17:57Is that code for Jack?
17:58It's code for judgment.
18:00Yours.
18:01And Jeremy's judgment?
18:02Still pristine?
18:04He's an officer.
18:05And will be your fiancé.
18:07So on property.
18:08Dress it up however you want.
18:09That's what you mean.
18:10You're not here to question policy.
18:12You're here to prove that you still belong in this world.
18:14Now stay away from that private, or I'll make sure that neither of you make it to the
18:18finish of this season.
18:19Late for a debrief, boss.
18:26Not if I'm bringing something useful.
18:29Jack Callahan.
18:30You know that name, right?
18:31The recruit?
18:32Emma's shadow?
18:33No.
18:34Jack Callahan.
18:35Only son of Owen Callahan.
18:37Chairman and CEO of Callahan Defense Systems.
18:40The same company used to supply half of this base's tech.
18:44That's not possible.
18:46We vet everyone.
18:47Not if he's trying to disappear.
18:48No fanfare, no press.
18:50He just enlists under a private transfer through a proxy recruiter.
18:54It's legal, but buried.
18:55So what?
18:55He's hearing some kind of PR stunt?
18:58More like self-assigned field research.
19:01Understand the product from the user's perspective.
19:03That's the line he gave Emma.
19:05Why he told Emma this?
19:06Every word.
19:07She knew this, and she didn't report it.
19:09She's protecting him, just like she's protecting their relationship.
19:12Fraternization, national security risk.
19:15Rounds for full discharge.
19:16For both of them.
19:22Waymore.
19:25What are you doing?
19:26Something I should have done before I deployed.
19:29I know we've had our attentions.
19:30I know I haven't always made space for what you need, but I've always known what we are.
19:33Jeremy, not here.
19:34Not here, then where?
19:36This is where we met.
19:37We were retrained.
19:38Or we became what we are.
19:39Marry me.
19:45Get up.
19:46This is real.
19:47I'm not playing games.
19:49No, you're just making moves.
19:51If you want to be seen as strong, then you stand with me the way we're supposed to.
19:54Jeremy?
19:56Get up.
19:57You say no to this, you better be ready for what comes next.
20:03What are you laughing at, huh?
20:07Are you lost?
20:16I just thought I'd drop the requisition list.
20:18You left it in the admin tent.
20:19You don't usually do favors.
20:22Maybe I'm just tired of pretending I don't notice things.
20:25You and Emma.
20:26The looks, the disappearances, the not-so-secret secrets.
20:31Is this where you tell me I'm not good enough?
20:33No.
20:34This is where I remind you that there's an easier path with fewer risks.
20:42Like me.
20:43You could have a clean slate, a promotion, a future that doesn't depend on someone who's
20:50already halfway out the door.
20:52And you don't have to say anything right now, but stop pretending like you haven't thought
20:58about it before.
20:59I'm not yours to manipulate.
21:03Sorry to interrupt.
21:04I'll let you get back to whatever this is.
21:11Emma, wait.
21:13She came into my tent.
21:16I didn't ask for that.
21:17You didn't stop her either.
21:19Yes, I did.
21:20You weren't there.
21:21Do you know what it feels like to have someone reach out like they already own you?
21:24I've only ever wanted you.
21:26Nothing has changed.
21:27Then why does it feel like I keep walking in on the middle of your story?
21:30So this is where we're doing it now.
21:32Mid-base, midnight apologies.
21:35Jeremy, not here, not now.
21:36You humiliate me in front of half the base, and now you're sneaking around with him again.
21:40We weren't sneaking around.
21:41That is rich, following someone like a damn stray dog after you spend weeks flying to
21:45him.
21:46Stop!
21:47No, let's talk about what's going on here.
21:49Let's talk about what he is and what you're willing to risk chasing, whatever this is.
21:53Watch your tone.
21:54That's enough!
21:56Stand down!
21:57Sir, I think you should...
21:58You're dismissed.
22:00All of you.
22:01That means you too, private.
22:02You summoned me?
22:08Do you think this is a game?
22:10No, sir.
22:11You humiliated an officer publicly, and now you're crawling around with a soldier.
22:15You barely know a soldier who's going to drag you down with him.
22:19I'm not.
22:19Don't talk.
22:20You will accept Jeremy's proposal.
22:23You will marry him for the next deployment.
22:25Do you understand me?
22:27You can't force me.
22:29You know what happens if you walk away from this?
22:32No army, no clearance, no future.
22:37Why are you doing this?
22:38Because I'm not going to watch you throw your life for some private and play soldier.
22:43Say it right now.
22:46Yes, sir.
22:47Get cleaned up.
22:51They'll make it public first thing in the morning.
22:57Morning.
23:00Look, I know this isn't how you pictured it, but this, it fixes everything.
23:05I'm not broken.
23:07That's not what I meant.
23:09We don't have to be in love, Emma.
23:11We have to be aligned.
23:13You and me were built for this.
23:14Legacy, power, security.
23:18What if I want more than that?
23:19Then you'd be gone already, but you're not.
23:21You say yes to this, everything stabilizes.
23:24For you, for me, for your father.
23:26This is how we win.
23:29Do it quickly.
23:30Gentlemen, before we begin this morning's assignments, I am proud to acknowledge an announcement
23:45from Captain Rose.
23:46This base has been a test of all of us.
23:50Who we are under pressure.
23:52Who we protect.
23:54For me, it's shown me who I want beside me.
23:57When it matters, Emma Whitmore, will you marry me?
24:02Yes.
24:03Yes.
24:03Just breathe.
24:16Smile.
24:17It's worth it.
24:17It's almost done.
24:19I'd like to say a few words.
24:21When I first met Emma, she didn't follow any rules.
24:24But leadership comes in many forms.
24:27It takes strength to choose order.
24:29To choose a man like Jeremy.
24:32To the future Mrs. Rhodes.
24:34Please.
24:54Can I do anything to help?
24:55You shouldn't be here.
24:56That stopped mattering weeks ago.
24:58And you said yes right in front of me.
25:00Yeah, and I saw you look right at me and then leave.
25:02Because I thought you were gone.
25:04And then I had to watch you say yes in front of everyone.
25:07You think I wanted that?
25:08I think you let it happen.
25:10And I think you're letting him win.
25:12I'm not letting anything happen.
25:14You don't know what he's holding over me.
25:16You don't know what he's capable of.
25:18Then tell me.
25:19It wouldn't change anything.
25:20It would change me.
25:22Listen, I never asked you to pick me.
25:24I just wanted to believe that you would try it.
25:26Huh?
25:26You have no idea how hard I'm trying.
25:31I'm engaged to a man I don't love.
25:33Controlled by a father who doesn't even see me.
25:35And now I'm haunted by a man.
25:37He still looks at me like I could be his future.
25:40Then run.
25:40With me.
25:41Right now.
25:42I can't.
25:46We all saw her face.
25:59There's a difference between saying yes and meaning it.
26:03He staged that whole thing.
26:05He's trying to lock it down before something explodes.
26:07It already did.
26:09Well, you think this is over?
26:11You better walk away before someone gets hurt.
26:13It was just another name on a roster.
26:15And then she looked at you like you mattered.
26:17You want to finish this now?
26:18Finish the gloves.
26:19It doesn't matter.
26:25No medals.
26:26No ranks.
26:28Just truth.
26:37You trying to get medical leave?
26:39Enough of the talking.
26:40Here we go, boys.
26:42You're either walking out or getting carried out.
26:45You're not mad that I took her.
27:04You're mad because she never even wanted you.
27:05You should be in med.
27:18They don't want the paperwork.
27:22Was it satisfying?
27:24Watching the internet.
27:25Watching the news.
27:27No.
27:28You know I tried, right?
27:30You tried to control me.
27:31Because I didn't know why I came here.
27:34You always looked like me.
27:36You belonged in the light.
27:38I was just trying to keep both.
27:40You don't have to be like him right now.
27:42No.
27:43Like Alden?
27:43You shouldn't be here.
27:59You shouldn't be here.
28:04I shouldn't be.
28:05And yet?
28:06I saw you walk away.
28:09And that hurt more than saying yes ever did.
28:11You can't keep coming and calling like this.
28:13It's killing me.
28:14Then let me stay.
28:16Are you sure?
28:17I'm sure.
28:18I'm sure.
28:19I'm sure I'm burying.
28:23You.
28:29I'm sure.
28:36I should be.
28:39I won't be.
28:42You should be.
28:48I cannot.
28:48Okay.
28:49Oh, my God.
29:19If I run away from all this, I must have been for sale.
29:26That's all I've been waiting for.
29:41Copy you.
29:43You wanted to see me, sir?
29:45How's your father?
29:46Stable, last I heard.
29:48But still stubborn.
29:50That's how I remember him.
29:51We grew up on the same street.
29:52Did you know that?
29:53No, sir.
29:54He was my best friend.
29:56That kind of keeps your secrets, even when you don't deserve it.
29:59Is that why I'm still here?
30:00I knew who you were the moment I saw your name on the enlistment roll.
30:04Your father called in a favor.
30:06Said you needed time.
30:08Perspective.
30:09I knew this whole time.
30:11The questions, the threats.
30:14That wasn't for me.
30:16That was theater.
30:17Stand down, son.
30:18It was protection until it wasn't.
30:20This space is under review.
30:25Command wants clean optics.
30:26No scandal, no stories.
30:28Just order.
30:29I'm not a part of that order?
30:31You were never supposed to matter.
30:33Then Emma happened.
30:35I've tried to keep you safe, but she's my daughter.
30:37And I can't protect both of you.
30:39So what happens now?
30:40You disappear, quietly, with honor.
30:45Or we all go down.
30:58What was so urgent?
31:00I need to tell you something.
31:01Before somebody else tells you their version.
31:03Is it about Harper?
31:04No.
31:05It's about your father and me.
31:06He's known who I was this whole time.
31:08From day one, my enlistment wasn't random.
31:11My father asked him to keep me under the radar,
31:14to give me perspective for a reset.
31:15So you're saying that this was just a favor?
31:18I didn't ask for it.
31:19I didn't even know until today.
31:21And he just told you this out of the kindness of his heart?
31:24No, because Command knows.
31:26And now he wants me gone, quietly.
31:28So this whole time you were here,
31:30you were protected by him while I was getting interrogated,
31:33threatened.
31:34I never used it.
31:36I didn't even want it.
31:37While I was falling for you,
31:39you were still a part of their game.
31:40I didn't know, Emma.
31:41I swear.
31:41I didn't know.
31:42You always say that.
31:43I didn't know.
31:44I didn't mean to.
31:44Maybe that's the real problem.
31:46You only figure things out when it's too late.
31:48I only told you this because I thought you deserved the truth.
31:50Well, here's mine.
31:51I don't know who to hate more right now,
31:52him or you.
31:55I take no pleasure in this.
32:05Then don't do it.
32:06That's not how this works.
32:09You're going to marry Captain Rhodes.
32:11There's a ceremony scheduled.
32:1348 hours.
32:14It'll be quiet, contained, and attended by command reps.
32:18Afterward, your record will be sealed and we'll all move forward.
32:21You think this fixes it?
32:22It neutralizes it.
32:24You're treating this like a scandal cleanup,
32:26like I'm a problem that you have to manage.
32:29You are my daughter,
32:31and this is the price of protecting your name and mine.
32:34And Jack?
32:35We'll go quietly reassigned.
32:36No charges, no noise.
32:38That was the deal.
32:39So you protect the institution and just bury everything else?
32:42I gave you space.
32:44I'll let you make mistakes.
32:45This one doesn't get to leave a footprint.
32:47I expect you to cooperate.
32:48Dress fitting is at 0800 hours.
32:50And what if I say no?
32:52Then you're no longer my daughter.
32:57Understood, sir.
33:03Sorry, I usually tie tents, not dresses,
33:06but Miss Whitmore, I think you look fantastic.
33:11Well, you look perfect.
33:15It's not real.
33:17It's real enough.
33:19After this, everything resets.
33:22The whispers stop.
33:23The paperwork disappears.
33:25We go back to who we were supposed to be.
33:27I don't even know what that means anymore.
33:29You and me.
33:31Version everyone respects.
33:33I was never that version.
33:35Then fake it a little longer.
33:38Just get through the ceremony,
33:39and I'll give you space.
33:41I can sleep in a different tent for all I care.
33:44But we finish this together.
33:46Fine.
33:47Good.
33:48Have you seen requisitions for the North Perimeter detail?
34:06I think Corporal Ditwit filed it this morning.
34:09Didn't expect to see you work in comms.
34:11Just tying up some loose ends.
34:12Are you always this helpful?
34:14I guess scandal brings out the team spirit, right?
34:16You know, Whitmore,
34:18it's always the people who pretend to follow the rules
34:21who break them the hardest.
34:25You saying that to me or about me?
34:27Just an observation.
34:28But you'll want to get ahead of it.
34:30It seems like things are about to get messy.
34:40Yo!
34:42Check out Bay's tea chat.
34:44That's the General's kid.
34:46And Callahan?
34:47I thought he was just a grunt.
34:49I didn't know he had it in him.
34:54I swear, I didn't.
34:56I know.
34:58It doesn't matter now.
34:59We'll work this out.
35:00Together or separately?
35:02It's cute.
35:04Real cute.
35:06Are you going to explain or let the pictures talk?
35:09Not here.
35:09Show's over.
35:11Get back to work.
35:16You don't know who you're messing with.
35:1824 hours ago, this base had discipline.
35:25Now every private with a data plan is a paparazzi.
35:27I want this breach traced.
35:30Com's a scrubbing channel, sir.
35:31My team's isolating the origin server.
35:33Origins, not the problem.
35:35The receptionist.
35:36At the brigade, thanks for a soap opera.
35:38And that perception changes tomorrow at 1,300 hours.
35:41When you put a ring on my daughter's hand, the camera captures all the unity.
35:45Understood?
35:46Yes, sir.
35:47This waiting carries the weight of my command.
35:49Your reputation, your mother's memory.
35:52One flawless ceremony, all the chatter dies.
35:55I want sabotaging, sir.
35:57See that you don't.
35:57Lieutenant Boss will take point.
36:00Guest list, press frames, photos.
36:02All locked by 1,800 hours.
36:05I don't care who took the photos.
36:08After tomorrow, they mean nothing.
36:10Give them the perfect story to play.
36:13Dismissed.
36:23You leaked them.
36:24I mean, it's logistics, not gossip.
36:30Angle, timestamp, vantage point.
36:33Only someone with your clearance could pull that feed.
36:36You know, you think you're a damsel in distress.
36:39But no, Whitmore, you're a damsel in disgrace.
36:41You've ruined careers for sport.
36:43What's the win?
36:44Truth, accountability, and maybe a promotion when command sees who keeps the house clean.
36:50My father will know.
36:51My father already knows everything.
36:52And tomorrow, he's going to walk you down the aisle like a pretty apology.
36:56My hands are clean.
36:58Yours never were.
36:59Sir, we need to talk now.
37:12I'll leave you to it, sir.
37:13Make it quick, private.
37:14I'll disappear today.
37:16New post, new name, no noise.
37:18But you call off the wedding, and Emma walks free.
37:21You think this is about two kids in love?
37:23Command wants a narrative.
37:24Fallen daughter re-forged through honorable union.
37:28This wedding is a firebreak point between mutiny and scandal.
37:31Then you burn my record, not hers.
37:33Your record's not the headline here.
37:35Her face is.
37:36One ceremony, one picture set, story ends.
37:40You were my father's friend.
37:42Which is why you're still standing here.
37:44Walk away now as she keeps her name.
37:46Disrupt tomorrow, and I will shred both of you.
37:50With every post-action report until Kingdom Con.
37:54And you better write fast, sir.
37:55Because I will never let her stand alone again.
37:58I'm glad you came.
38:19I'm glad you came.
38:28Tomorrow's already planned.
38:45Plans change.
38:50Sign it, hand it to the chaplain mid-ceremony.
38:54Then walk towards me.
38:55I'll be waiting.
38:56They'll court-martial you for disruption.
38:59And they'll court-martial you for loving me.
39:01Unless we write a headline they can't spin.
39:04Tomorrow.
39:051,300 hours, love and clear.
39:07After the shock settles, we'll leave together.
39:09No uniform.
39:10Just us.
39:11Just us.
39:15You should go.
39:17I need to be with you right now.
39:18I used to dream about command like a kid dreams about space.
39:29Now it just feels like orbiting a dead star.
39:32Tried a different sky.
39:33The call is selfish.
39:34Selfish is living a lie just so other people feel comfortable.
39:38Once I sign, there's no pension, no clearance.
39:41All the doors that my father promised.
39:43We'll build new doors.
39:44Not a ring, but a promise.
39:56Tangle it together.
39:57Is today the start of the end or the beginning?
40:13Beginning.
40:14Thirteen hours.
40:16You'll hand the chaplain that letter.
40:19Then walk straight towards me.
40:21Would MPs grab you first?
40:22They'll need a reason with all those witnesses.
40:27It's not good for the optics, right?
40:31After the ceremony, head for the South Service Road.
40:35I stashed a civilian jeep beyond the tree line.
40:38We'll be fugitives.
40:40We'll be free.
40:41We'll be free.
40:41Chaplain's on standby.
40:59Press still outside the wire.
41:01Just smile and salute the flag.
41:03Easy.
41:05Ain't a minute alone with my bride.
41:07Try not to screw this up, Whitmore.
41:09Tell me the truth, Emma.
41:19Answer today where you try, or do you spend the rest of your life chasing a ghost named Jack?
41:25After today, I don't answer to anyone.
41:29What is this?
41:30A promise you can't touch.
41:32I was the future.
41:34Now I'm a headline footnote because you need adventure.
41:38I needed honesty.
41:39Private Callahan, logistics courier.
41:55Ceremony supplies got rerouted, and I need in.
41:58Our orders to detain Private Jack Callahan under personal audit lockdown.
42:01On a wedding day?
42:03Explain this, Captain.
42:04Man safeguards optics, Callahan.
42:07Can't risk a logistics mishap spoiling my house.
42:11You can't bury me.
42:13Take them away.
42:15Callahan, don't make us do this the hard way.
42:17Let's go.
42:18No.
42:18No.
42:21Check-ups every 10 minutes.
42:23If you need water, just holler it.
42:26Politely.
42:26Auditors.
42:32I was running late.
42:35Figured I'd keep you company.
42:37Music's about to roll.
42:43Then say what you came to say.
42:44I know you're waiting for him, but I had him detained.
42:47Detained where?
42:48You won every war but this one, Dad.
42:50You can still call it off.
42:51Okay, release him.
42:53End the charade.
42:54The optics are set.
42:55Command, press, donors.
42:57This wedding stabilizes all of us.
42:59All of us?
43:00Or you?
43:01If you walk away from this today, you lose your career, clearance, and any ties to it.
43:07I can't shield you.
43:09I'm not asking for your shield.
43:10I'm asking for my life back.
43:12Let him go, Dad.
43:14Let me go.
43:16Just one more march and you're safe.
43:18The only safe place is truth.
43:20You may the truth serve you better than rank served me.
43:27She'll see that aisle empty.
43:29No, she won't.
43:32She'll see a groom who shows up.
43:34You want to know the best part?
43:36Tomorrow morning press will print a fairytale-based wedding.
43:40And you're going to be a footnote under security factions.
43:46That's for the bruise again, my head on.
43:48Do you recognize this?
43:51Huh?
43:52You should.
43:53The family's factory.
43:54They made it.
43:54You made it.
43:56And it ends you.
43:58That's kind of poetic.
44:01You keep clawing and clawing for the stage.
44:06And this little piece, the family legacy, it writes you your regime.
44:10Pull that trigger and you'll prove all the headlines right about you.
44:13The headlines are written by survivors.
44:20Tomorrow, the army ships to office on me.
44:23I'll already create our base.
44:25And no one remembers the land.
44:27All rise for the bride, please.
44:42MP reports still secure.
45:02You're clear.
45:03Family, comrades, and guardians of honor.
45:06We gather here today to bless this sacred union, born of service, between Captain Jeremy Rhodes and Miss Emma Whitmore.
45:16Captain, you may say your vows.
45:18Emma, you and I are both fighters.
45:21I want to conquer this world with you hand in hand.
45:24Captain Jeremy Rhodes, having spoken your vows, do you take Miss Emma Whitmore to be your lawfully wedded wife?
45:30I do.
45:35Miss Emma Whitmore, do you take Captain Rhodes to be your lawfully wedded husband, honor, and to cherish for the days of your lives?
45:48Miss Whitmore?
45:50I...
45:51Emma, don't say it!
45:59I do.
46:01I want you, Jack.
46:09And I resign my commission.
46:22Got some nerve.
46:23Stand down!
46:25Get him out of here.
46:27No!
46:28Him!
46:28Time to go, Jack.
46:30What?
46:35You're almost too late.
46:37We had to give him a story worth writing about.
46:40Now we control the optics.
46:41You invaded my command, hijacked my ceremony, and put a thousand cameras on my failure.
46:54And you gave me the only stage big enough to show her that I would never leave.
46:59I choose him, Dad.
47:01Not as rebellion, but as the only truth left.
47:04You'll both carry it all out.
47:05We'll carry it together.
47:09She runs hot.
47:11When command wouldn't bend, back there.
47:13Promise me that you will.
47:14I promise.
47:15I taught you the salute before you spoke.
47:17You taught me to listen before I came home.
47:26I never wanted to break your commander.
47:28I just wanted to find my own.
47:30Then command it.
47:32Just promise you'll come home sometime.
47:33Well, General, if the battlefield is clear, are we still having a wedding or am I overdressed?
47:54This is yours, Padre.
47:58Let's do this the right way.
48:00The truth speaks.
48:01Vows only need witness.
48:04I choose you.
48:06Beyond rank.
48:08Beyond fear.
48:09For every dawn.
48:11And I choose you.
48:12Against orders.
48:13Against odds.
48:15For every desk.
48:18Witness by heart and honor.
48:20And one very patient brigade.
