00:00I struggled against the ropes, feeling the chair roll slightly beneath me.
00:07A cold breeze hit my face, and even my toes felt cold.
00:12Wait, were my shoes off?
00:14Hello? Is anyone there?
00:16If this is a prank show, you guys took it way too far!
00:19Suddenly, the blindfold was yanked from my face,
00:22and I realized I was on a rooftop with no boundary walls.
00:27And standing before me was a tall woman, smiling like she was about to enjoy torturing me.
00:34Josie Hart. So you're Alexander Kingston's new girlfriend.
00:39Though I cannot understand why he dates so beneath his league.
00:44Uh, yeah, I get why you're confused. I really do.
00:48But that's no reason to kidnap me.
00:51We can discuss this on the ground floor of a really nice cafe.
00:54My treat.
00:57My heart jumped into my throat as she kicked my chair closer to the edge.
01:03How much do you love, Alexander?
01:06Oh my god, are you one of his exes?
01:08I swear, I don't love him, and I know he doesn't even like me.
01:12We're just pretend dating.
01:14Pretend dating?
01:16Yes, completely fake.
01:18Why would he date me for real?
01:20I'm no one important.
01:21I can't even pass the bar exam.
01:24I failed three times.
01:26Yes.
01:26I did a background check.
01:28I know you're a loser.
01:31Also, you're just as heavy as you look in your pictures.
01:34I thought the camera was adding ten pounds.
01:37Look, you obviously don't relate.
01:39But some of us eat carbs when we're stressed.
01:41Like, I could really use a family-sized bag of chips right now.
01:45Please stop.
01:46Why are you ruining your lovely go-to-buzz kicking me around?
01:49My what?
01:51You know, your go-to-buzz?
01:53My sister has the same designer heels.
01:56I'd hate for you to scuff them.
01:58Okay, I'm shutting up.
01:59Just tell me what you want.
02:00Josie, since you're suddenly Alexander Kingston's new sweetheart, fake or real, I don't care.
02:08You're going to help us retrieve something from him.
02:12Something?
02:13Like, his soul?
02:14His dignity?
02:15He lost that the moment he met me.
02:17Lolz.
02:18No.
02:20He recently bought an artifact at an auction that once belonged to our family.
02:24And it holds something very important to us.
02:28What?
02:29Sentimental value?
02:30Ha, ha, ha.
02:32Sorry.
02:33Humor is my coping mechanism.
02:35She smiled coldly, then gave my chair another nudge.
02:38My feet dangled over the rooftop's edge.
02:40Oh my god, I'll get the artifact!
02:42I'll rob him blind!
02:43I'll even lose ten pounds!
02:45Don't let me die!
02:46I haven't arranged anyone to clear my browser history!
02:48And please, don't let my family find my body in these stockings!
02:53Wondering how I ended up like this?
02:55Literally hanging on to dear life?
02:56Let me rewind and show you exactly how I became the Mafia's most unimpressive hostage.
03:02Not that my life's been smooth sailing before this.
03:05But things seriously started spiraling last month.
03:09The morning I had my third attempt at the bar exam.
03:12And it's not like I'm dumb or something.
03:14It's just that whenever I'm under pressure, my brain decides to take a hike.
03:19That morning, I jolted awake to total silence, instantly realizing my alarm didn't go off because Lord Voldemow had drowned my phone in his water bowl.
03:31Why do you hate me?
03:32I picked you up from the garbage and made you a prince!
03:35I grabbed my bag and bolted out the door.
03:38Of course, I missed the bus, stole my seven-year-old neighbor's tricycle, pedaled furiously to the exam venue, and still didn't make it on time.
03:48The security guard just wouldn't let me in!
03:50Please, I'm begging you.
03:52I'll name my firstborn after you.
03:54Actually, I can change Lord Voldemow's name today.
03:58He just stared at me like I was crazy and walked off.
04:01As I sank to my knees in despair, I noticed a guy approaching me with a smile.
04:07Oh, God, he's cute!
04:09This fell out of your bag.
04:11Can you please just walk away and pretend you never met me?
04:14As if I hadn't had enough humiliation for a year, the next evening, I had Thanksgiving dinner with my family.
04:21My very accomplished, very overachieving family.
04:25Okay, everyone. Let's take turns saying what we're thankful for.
04:30Please just let the turkey explode or something.
04:33I'm thankful your father and I just completed our groundbreaking anti-aging research on mice.
04:40In a few years, we'll look young enough for people to mistake Josie for our mom.
04:46My older sister, Emily, smiled smugly.
04:50I'm thankful I got to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut and going to space this year.
04:57They say the sky's the limit, but clearly it's not.
05:02Cousin Ava chirped in next.
05:04I'm thankful I married the love of my life in a magical castle wedding in Scotland.
05:11Fairy tale dreams do come true.
05:13Next, my brother Lucas announced...
05:16I'm thankful that Forbes listed me in there 30 under 30 again.
05:21Oh, for crying out loud.
05:23Then everyone turned to me.
05:26I'm thankful that this is the year I decided to grow my own herbs.
05:31The parsley and basil keep dying on me, but the mint is thriving.
05:36I have it with my instant noodles, my eggs.
05:39Of course, it's great with chocolate, makes good tea, and I have minty fresh breath all the time.
05:45Josie, honey, your time will come too.
05:50Thanks, Dad.
05:50You make me sound like an avocado waiting to ripen.
05:53Speaking of unripened avocados, we heard you tanked the bar exam again.
05:59How did that remind you of that?
06:02Anything interesting going on in your love life to distract you from your career failures?
06:06As everyone stared at me, I felt my cheeks and neck burning.
06:12Just then, I spotted the muted TV behind Dad's head.
06:15Alexander Kingston was on screen, smiling and shaking hands at some charity gala.
06:22He was the billionaire heir who had just returned to town to take over his family's luxury hotel empire.
06:28My best friend Mia, who worked as a secretary in his office, was swooning over him like 24-7.
06:34And suddenly, words I didn't know my brain had decided on flew out of my mouth.
06:39Oh, actually, yes, I am dating someone.
06:44And it's pretty serious.
06:46It's him.
06:47Him who?
06:48Josie, imaginary boyfriends are only cute when you're five years old.
06:52Him?
06:53Alexander Kingston?
06:54I was both thrilled and a little offended at the disbelief on everyone's faces.
07:00The guy on TV right now?
07:01Yep, that's my boyfriend.
07:05My very serious boyfriend of three months.
07:08Mia works for him.
07:09She introduced us.
07:10They've been keeping it on the down low because he's a public figure, so keep it to yourselves for now.
07:16But I'll send pictures of us in the family group chat.
07:19Surely I could bribe me into getting me a few chummy selfies with him?
07:23Uh, wow.
07:25Can't wait.
07:26Also, I'm visiting your town next week.
07:28I'd love to meet him.
07:30Um, even better.
07:32He'd love to meet you, too.
07:34Oh, God.
07:35What had I just done?
07:36Of course, the next logical step was to fall on my knees and beg Mia for help.
07:42Josie, it's not like he's the cute barista down the street.
07:46He has bodyguards and he already has a restraining order against the stalker.
07:49Mia, I know I messed up, but my psychotically perfect family has a way of pushing me over the edge.
07:56And what happens when Emily turns up next week?
07:59Well, I'll just have to dump him by then, won't I?
08:02We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
08:04Right now, I have to show them something.
08:06Or look like an even bigger loser for lying.
08:09Ugh, fine.
08:10The event photographer at Alexander's Gala tomorrow called in sick.
08:14I can give you her badge.
08:15Please don't make me lose my job and just act normal for once.
08:20Oh, please.
08:21Normal is my middle name.
08:23Okay, it's actually Lauren, but close enough, right?
08:27I promise, I'll be the picture of normalness.
08:30The next evening, I was wobbling around the glamorous gala in a gown,
08:35lugging a camera I'd borrowed from my neighbor.
08:37I just had to inch my way close to Alexander, take his pictures, and then request a few selfies.
08:43I could act convincingly, like I was covering the event.
08:46How hard could it be?
08:47I aimed the camera at a couple having a heated discussion
08:50and snapped a series of blinding photos.
08:53Excuse me?
08:54Does it look like I want the moment my marriage is falling apart to be captured on camera?
08:58Oh, I am so sorry.
09:02You're just so photogenic when you're frowning.
09:05Carry on.
09:06I quickly turned away and snapped another random picture,
09:09startling an elderly man and causing his drink to spill down his tux.
09:13Oops.
09:14My apologies.
09:15Great shot, though.
09:17Very fluid and dynamic.
09:19Realizing my lens was smudged, I decided to clean it.
09:22And then I accidentally set the flash off in my face.
09:25I staggered backwards, then tripped on my gown and crashed into someone,
09:30pushing us both straight into a 12-foot flower arrangement.
09:34Before I could catch my breath, I was lifted off the ground by men in suits,
09:39and I realized the person I'd crashed into was Alexander Kingston.
09:45A moment later, I found myself seated in a back room, Alexander glaring at me.
09:50What's the name of your agency? I swear, I'm gonna fire that secretary of mine!
09:56No, no, please don't.
09:58I found out the photographer hired for the event was sick, and I stole her badge.
10:02Why?
10:03Who are you, the paparazzi?
10:05I need to know who sent you.
10:08I... I sent myself.
10:10Listen, I'm Josie Hart, and I just need a couple of selfies with you,
10:14where you need to look like you're rather fond of me.
10:17Even in love, maybe? So, you can't be glaring at me the way you are right now.
10:23What?
10:24See, this is all because my mother is Benjamin Button,
10:27and my dad called me an unripe avocado,
10:29and my sister's an actual astronaut,
10:31my cousin's a Disney princess, and my brother is Elon Musk,
10:34and all I've got is enough mint to start a toothpaste factory,
10:37a garbage cat, and a pretend billionaire boyfriend.
10:40And that's sort of for you coming, you lucky guy.
10:44Pretend boyfriend?
10:45I may have accidentally told my family we were dating.
10:49Just a little bit.
10:50And you picked me?
10:52Because you have a crush on me or something?
10:54No.
10:55Your face was on the TV screen at that moment.
10:58Trust me, it was exactly as random as all of this sounds.
11:02You're insane.
11:04Really?
11:04No one's ever said that to me before.
11:06He turned away and walked over to his bodyguards,
11:09saying something to them in hushed tones,
11:11which made me even more nervous.
11:13Eventually, he came back and sat down opposite me.
11:17Fine, Josie Hart.
11:18I'll be your boyfriend.
11:20Uh, you'll what now?
11:22So the thing is,
11:23my ex-fiancé dumped me a few months ago.
11:26Wow, that's rough.
11:28I guess we're both losers.
11:30No, only I'm a loser.
11:34Here's the deal.
11:35I'll be your fake boyfriend.
11:37And you'll help me show her I've moved on.
11:40It'll be extra intriguing for her thinking it's someone like you.
11:43What was that supposed to mean?
11:45Nothing good, I was certain.
11:47Are you serious?
11:48Completely.
11:50Think you can walk back into the party without tripping over your face?
11:53We're really doing this right now?
11:55That's why you came, isn't it?
11:57Are you in or out?
11:58My heart was hammering as Alexander led me back to the gala.
12:02The room fell quiet.
12:04Hundreds of curious eyes on us.
12:06Sorry about the interruption earlier, everyone.
12:10Allow me to officially introduce my girlfriend, Josie Hart.
12:14A talented event photographer.
12:16We've been keeping our relationship very private up till now,
12:19so my security team tonight mistook her for an assailant.
12:22As you can see, she has a habit of crashing into things.
12:26And that's how we met a few months ago,
12:28when she crashed into me and spilled her coffee all over my favorite suit.
12:31The crowd laughed and started talking excitedly.
12:35And suddenly, there were cameras flashing everywhere.
12:38I plastered on a smile, hoping I didn't look as nauseous as I felt.
12:43You're smiling like the freaking Joker.
12:46Just act normal.
12:47I wish I understood what that means.
12:49Oh, one more thing, Josie.
12:51Please don't go and fall in love with me, okay?
12:54Like I'm that cliched.
12:57He smirked and placed a hand on my back, making my heart skip a beat.
13:02Get a grip, girl!
13:03The moment Alexander publicly declared me his girlfriend,
13:07my life turned into a media frenzy.
13:11Within hours, every news outlet was obsessed with my awkward,
13:15deer-in-the-headlights expression,
13:16and my phone nearly exploded from nonstop messages from my family,
13:22congratulating me like I'd won the Nobel Peace Prize.
13:25And Mia showed up the next evening at my apartment, looking frazzled.
13:29Seriously?
13:30Your fake billionaire boyfriend got you bodyguards already?
13:33I had to answer ten personal questions about you before those trolls let me into the building.
13:38I answered six of them wrong, by the way.
13:40Those guys are idiots.
13:42Sorry, Mia.
13:43I've had paparazzi following me everywhere.
13:46Things have gone completely nuts.
13:48I swear, it's not my fault.
13:50You literally crashed his gala and then crashed into him.
13:53This is entirely your fault.
13:54The next morning, an entire glam squad invaded my tiny apartment.
14:00Apparently, Alexander's PR team insisted I needed a makeover,
14:05which was very painful.
14:07Hours later, strapped into couture tighter than a vacuum-sealed frozen turkey,
14:13I waddled toward Alexander when he came to pick me up for the next event.
14:17Wow, you look different.
14:19Good?
14:19Different?
14:20It better be after all the hell I've been through.
14:23Yeah, you look good.
14:24But there was nothing wrong with you before.
14:26Did he really mean that?
14:28Pfft, doubt it.
14:34I took a deep breath, or at least I tried,
14:38wondering how I'd managed to trade my simple life for
14:40suffocating clothes, glamorous parties, and national scrutiny.
14:45Though, it didn't feel half bad being on the arm of someone like Alexander.
14:50He was smart, charming, confident, and he could give Henry Cavill a run for his money.
14:56His smile was as bright as Emily's future, and his eyes deeper than my regrets after eating a whole cheesecake.
15:03If Mary Poppins pulled out her measuring tape for him, he would measure practically perfect in every way.
15:09This guy didn't have a weakness.
15:11Boy, was I wrong.
15:13Oh, Alexander, you're crushing my ring finger.
15:17You know, I might need it one day, despite my family's doubts.
15:21I'm so sorry.
15:22It's just that, well, gosh, Serena's here.
15:26I followed his gaze to a girl, who was a dreamy vision in lilac chiffon.
15:32Of course his ex looked like America's next top model.
15:35And he looked like a pale, sweaty loser right now.
15:39Oh, God, she saw me.
15:41She's coming this way.
15:43Jane, what do I say?
15:44What do I do?
15:45What's happening to my voice?
15:46It's Josie.
15:48And please, wipe that sweat off your upper lip, clear your throat, and be cool.
15:52Is calling a girl shorty still cool?
15:54Like, hey, shorty!
15:56Or am I like, hey, shorty?
15:59Please don't say that to anyone.
16:01Ever.
16:02Up close?
16:03Serena was even more poreless.
16:05She just ignored me as she swooped in to kiss Alexander on the cheek.
16:09And then fixed his color.
16:12Alexander, you look good.
16:14The shade of blue always did bring out your eyes.
16:17Uh, thank you.
16:18You look great in lilac, too.
16:20Well, I don't know if there's a color you wouldn't look good in.
16:23Lime yellow.
16:24She would look like she has jaundice.
16:26You're welcome, babe.
16:27Hi, Sabrina.
16:30I'm Josie, Alexander's girlfriend.
16:33It's Serena.
16:34Uh, and really?
16:35I just thought it was a paparazzi scandal.
16:38I mean, wow, that's surprising.
16:40So, how did you two meet?
16:42Well, like all good stories, ours starts from a mental asylum, too.
16:47Ha ha, she doesn't mean that.
16:48She's not really crazy.
16:50I didn't mean I'm from a mental asylum.
16:53I'd just gone to the mental asylum to see my Aunt Hilda, like I do weekly.
16:57And the staff told me she'd somehow managed to run away.
17:01And I had to go to the police station to file a report.
17:05But on the way, I stopped for a caramel latte.
17:07And then, it hit me.
17:10Uh, you figured out where your aunt went?
17:13No, a ball hit me.
17:15Some kids were playing in the coffee shop, and it hit me on the back of my head.
17:19I lost my balance and fell straight into someone's arms.
17:23Guess who that was?
17:24I'll give you a hint.
17:26It's not Aunt Hilda.
17:28I'm guessing it was Alexander.
17:30Ten points for Selene.
17:32Yes, that's how we met.
17:34And we've been inseparable ever since.
17:36Right.
17:37Well, you're very unique, Josie.
17:39Not Alexander's usual type.
17:42Maybe he was looking in all the wrong places before.
17:45Because we're definitely soulmates.
17:48We love all the same things.
17:50We practically finish each other's...
17:52Uh, sentences?
17:56No, silly.
17:58Sandwiches.
17:59You know, those sandwiches you love, but you can never finish them, so I have to eat yours, too?
18:04Oh, yeah.
18:05I'm so lucky I never have to feel guilty about wasting food again.
18:09Well, Alexander, I hope we can catch up some more soon.
18:13She squeezed his arm gently and gave him a look before walking away.
18:17Well, someone's regretting dumping you now.
18:20You're welcome.
18:21Oh, thank God.
18:23I wasn't just imagining it.
18:24She was flirting with me, right?
18:26Josie, this is fantastic.
18:27I think I have a chance with her.
18:30You want her back?
18:31I thought you just wanted to rub your relationship in her face.
18:34Like a mature adult?
18:36Yes, and if she's jealous, it means she still cares about me.
18:39And you just saw her, right?
18:41Why wouldn't I want her back?
18:43Ugh, why were men so dumb?
18:46And, as luck would have it, Serena was seated at our table.
18:50Well, practically seated in the lap of a very good-looking, very Italian guy at our table.
18:56Huh, no, babe.
18:58It's pronounced cupcake.
19:00Ah, coo-p-cake.
19:03Has anyone ever told you that you're just too cute?
19:06Alexander pulled me close to him and brushed some hair away from my ear.
19:10Please smile like I'm whispering sweet nothings to you.
19:14Now listen, there's no way she's dating that guy for real.
19:17She's just trying to make me jealous after seeing us together.
19:20It's working.
19:21So keep acting like the world's most affectionate girlfriend, okay?
19:25Seriously?
19:26Weddings are just so romantic.
19:28Babe, do you remember that magical sunset in Capri when we kissed for the first time?
19:34Boo-boo!
19:35Do you remember that time we watched that sunset on YouTube because we were too busy cuddling on the couch?
19:41And what was it?
19:42Our tenth kiss?
19:44Serena definitely looked annoyed.
19:47And then she started feeding Lorenzo chocolate-covered strawberries.
19:51I shoved a breadstick in Alexander's mouth.
19:53Who started choking?
19:55You make every day feel like Valentine's Day.
19:58I feel so loved.
19:59You make every day feel like, uh, Thanksgiving.
20:04I feel stuffed and sleepy.
20:06Lorenzo gave me this bracelet of rare blue diamonds.
20:09When they catch the moonlight, they reflect constellations that could only be seen from his family's private villa in Tuscany.
20:16Wow, fancy!
20:18Alexander gave me this watch from Target.
20:20If you press this button, it lights up neon green.
20:23And if I angle it just right, it blinds pigeons.
20:26That's your own watch, Josie.
20:28They don't know that.
20:30Suddenly, Serena rose from the table and glided over to the wedding band, grabbing the mic.
20:35There's so much love in the air tonight, and I can't help getting caught up in it.
20:39I want to dedicate a song to the guy in my life.
20:42My handsome Italian boyfriend, Lorenzo.
20:46I rolled my eyes.
20:48But her annoyingly pitch-perfect rendition of I Will Always Love You had the whole crowd in tears.
20:55As the applause died, Serena gave me a look that made my blood run cold.
21:01Oh, no!
21:02And now I'd like to ask my friend Josie to sing something for the man in her life.
21:07Oh, no, no.
21:09I can't.
21:10Josie, you have to, please.
21:12I walked over to the mic with jelly legs.
21:15She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts.
21:19She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers.
21:23Dreaming about the day when you wake up to find what you're looking for has been here the whole time.
21:30Yeah, you belong to me.
21:35My face burned as I saw guests visibly cringing.
21:39When I stopped, there was complete silence.
21:43And I dropped the mic and ran off.
21:45As I caught my breath outside the wedding hall, Alexander came out too.
21:49Hey, it wasn't that bad.
21:51Honestly, it was cute-ish.
21:54Oh, shut up, Alexander.
21:56I sounded like a dying seagull.
21:58You made me make an absolute fool of myself.
22:01Do you think Serena's impressed with your idiot girlfriend?
22:04I'm sorry.
22:05I really thought-
22:06Thought what?
22:07If you made Serena think you'd moved on with some loser, you'd have her attention again?
22:11How pathetic are you?
22:14Chasing after someone who broke your heart and is still playing games with you?
22:18Or are you so blind that you can't even see it?
22:20Listen.
22:21Which one is it?
22:22Pathetic or blind?
22:23Josie.
22:24No.
22:25You can go embarrass yourself chasing Serena.
22:28I won't stick around to be humiliated anymore.
22:31Before he could respond, I stormed off.
22:33As my heels clicked furiously on the pavement, I barely had time to notice the black van screeching to a halt beside me.
22:41The door suddenly opened and a pair of arms yanked me inside.
22:45Then suddenly, everything went dark.
22:48And when I regained consciousness, I found myself hanging off a rooftop with my life flashing before my eyes.
22:55After which, I was dragged down into a room with expensive villain-layer vibes.
23:00I was seated at a table, and the woman sat opposite, placing a file in front of me.
23:06Open it.
23:07Oh, cool!
23:09Is this your scrapbook of people you've murdered and enjoy revisiting in your free time?
23:13Cause, same girl, same!
23:16When I came across a photo of a shiny jewel-encrusted egg straight from a fairy tale, she placed a blood-red fingernail on it.
23:25This.
23:26This is what I want.
23:29Okay, but why would Alexander even buy this?
23:34Because that is a one-of-a-kind Fabergé egg, crafted for royalty once.
23:41Worth over 30 million dollars.
23:43And currently holds a drive with information that could destroy a lot of powerful people.
23:49And Alexander knows about this drive?
23:52Highly unlikely.
23:53He probably just bought it because it's expensive and shiny.
23:57God, rich people are wild.
24:00We don't know where Alexander's keeping it.
24:02So who better to find it for us than his girlfriend?
24:06You have one week.
24:09Okay, but like, I'm not very... competent.
24:14There's a high chance I'll trip up.
24:16Literally.
24:17And figuratively.
24:18Josie, what do you want from life?
24:23Uh, you mean existentially?
24:26Like inner peace, a sense of purpose, that kind of thing?
24:29Or more practically, like a personal jacuzzi, soft serve machine, affordable skincare?
24:34You get me that egg, and I'll make sure you pass that bar exam.
24:39I have an exceptional skincare line too.
24:42You can get free supplies for life.
24:45Seriously?
24:46You don't.
24:47And we kill your whole super cool overachieving family.
24:53And then you.
24:54Slowly.
24:54Okay, that escalated fast.
24:58But also, wow, really motivating.
25:01By the way, is there a name I can call you by?
25:05Sure.
25:07Black Orchid.
25:09Cool.
25:10You can call me Blue Spinster.
25:12I don't know why I said that.
25:13Josie's fine.
25:15And ten minutes later, I was dumped behind a taco truck.
25:18So, I had seven days to betray my fake boyfriend I may or may not be developing feelings for,
25:25steal an invaluable egg, and somehow not die in the process.
25:30Easy peasy.
25:31Alexander turned up the next day at my apartment with a cheesecake and an apology.
25:36I may be a fool for Serena, but I should never have pushed you the way I did.
25:40I overreacted too.
25:43I mean, this was the deal, right?
25:45Being your fake girlfriend to make your ex jealous.
25:48Yeah, but we can end this if it's too much for you.
25:51Oh, no.
25:52I'm fine.
25:53I'll have a lot of disappointment to face when my family finds out this relationship has ended.
25:59But maybe we can keep it up a little longer?
26:01Just don't ask me to sing in public again.
26:04Not even in private.
26:05Just a week more, and I'd be out of his life for good.
26:09Knowing how hung up he really was over Serena,
26:11I knew I had to guard my feelings and just keep my eye on the ball.
26:15The egg, I mean.
26:17I had free access to Alexander's mansion.
26:21And while I went there under the pretense of taking a dip in the pool or relaxing in his home theater,
26:26I took every chance I could to snoop around.
26:29And after three days of exploration,
26:32I knew he owned more cashmere sweaters than anyone could ever need.
26:36Only had books about how to become a successful person.
26:40And, like all rich people,
26:42loved horses.
26:43But no egg in sight.
26:45I still had to explore the study where he held his meetings.
26:49So one evening, when he was out of town,
26:51I snuck in.
26:52I was going through the cupboards when my phone started ringing loudly.
26:56Gosh, what is this volume?
26:59Lord Voldemow's work, of course.
27:01It was Emily calling.
27:03Ew.
27:04Hey, Em.
27:05Hi, Josie.
27:08Mom, Dad, and I just landed in town for a conference.
27:11And we'd love to meet your boyfriend.
27:15We're free tomorrow evening.
27:16Does that sound good?
27:18Uh, I guess.
27:20Just let me check with Alexander.
27:22Well, I've made a reservation at a trendy new French bistro for seven tomorrow.
27:27So, see you both there.
27:30Then, why'd you even ask?
27:32But she'd already hung up.
27:33I took a deep breath and refocused on my mission.
27:37As I had my head stuck up the fireplace,
27:39I suddenly heard loud voices from the hallway outside.
27:42One of them definitely sounded like Alexander.
27:45He wasn't supposed to be back till midnight.
27:47I had no time to hide.
27:49Oh, God.
27:49Think of any excuse, dummy.
27:51Just then, the door burst open and in jumped Alexander Kingston.
27:56Wearing a velvet cape, a shiny breastplate on his bare chest, and a full VR headset on his face.
28:04Who dares enter the realm of Zorg Lord, defender of the Sky Kingdom?
28:08He swung his fake sword around aggressively and impaled a poor ficus.
28:14Okay, so I was right in front of his face, and he had no idea I was here?
28:20I wasn't used to such incredible luck.
28:23I tiptoed to the door and was almost there, when suddenly, he came charging straight at me.
28:29And before I could dodge him, he crashed into me, and we were both on the ground.
28:34Ow!
28:35I think I've cracked a rib.
28:37Josie, what the heck are you doing here?
28:40What are you doing here?
28:42You said you were out of town.
28:44And seriously, what are you doing, Zorg Lord?
28:48It's a stress relief program, recommended by my therapist.
28:52Level 3?
28:54Battle for the Sorcerer's Amulet?
28:56Cool therapist.
28:57Love the costume, too.
29:00That breastplate is so shiny and so plastic.
29:04It's a fully immersive experience.
29:07Ugh, okay, fine.
29:10I'm into cosplaying and video games.
29:12It helps me blow steam.
29:13And I really needed it today.
29:15Serena messaged in the morning about wanting to meet.
29:18I've just been so nervous that I canceled everything and decided to relax at home.
29:22Can you please forget everything you just saw?
29:24There it was.
29:25That pang I felt hearing Serena's name.
29:28Trust me.
29:29I'm gonna go home and stick my head in the microwave or something.
29:33Um, listen.
29:35I kinda have a favor to ask.
29:37My family's in town and they wanna have dinner with us tomorrow.
29:41Of course I'll be there.
29:41You don't have a ribbon-cutting gala or a yacht-launching ceremony or Comic-Con?
29:48I'm available, Josie.
29:49See you tomorrow.
29:50And don't tell anyone about this.
29:53Your secrets are safe with me.
29:55Oh, mighty killer of ficuses and defender of the sky realms.
29:59I was almost at the mansion gate when I realized I'd left my bag in the study.
30:06I went back for it.
30:07And that's when I saw it.
30:09Alexander was at the far end of the study, standing in front of a sleek panel I hadn't
30:14noticed before.
30:15Suddenly, a small circle lit up and beeped as it scanned his eye.
30:20Then a click.
30:20A smooth, dark wooden door opened.
30:23And Alexander stepped inside.
30:25And I decided to leave without my bag.
30:28Seriously?
30:29A retinal scan?
30:31How was I supposed to get in there?
30:33I had to postpone thinking about it for another day.
30:36Because I had that family dinner to get through.
30:39They seemed super impressed by Alexander.
30:42But I knew they'd find ways to put me down soon enough.
30:45You should get appetizer number two, Josie.
30:48You always loved that one.
30:50Remember?
30:51I knew exactly what she was doing.
30:54You get it, Em.
30:56But it's your favorite.
30:58Go on, order it.
31:00Fine.
31:01We'll have the char-char-cut-churri-chaka-chur-tiri board.
31:08Some things never change.
31:11Josie's tongue always did get tangled over the simplest things.
31:15Honestly, I couldn't pronounce it for years either.
31:18Once at a business dinner, I asked for the char-cutie platter.
31:22And the waiter stared at me like I'd requested a raw dolphin.
31:24As we all laughed, Alexander squeezed my hand under the table.
31:28I really have to say, Alexander, you're the most normal guy she's ever dated.
31:38Josie has such a unique dating history.
31:41Remember that magician, Josie?
31:43What was his name?
31:44Danny, the disappearing boyfriend?
31:46Oh, and that clown who made balloon animals?
31:51Besides the fact that he had no future, I liked him.
31:54Speaking of no future, Josie, are you thinking about taking the bar exam again?
31:59You should, honey.
32:00They say fourth time's the charm.
32:02No, Dad.
32:03The third time's the charm.
32:05And, well, that's past.
32:09You know, you should think of a career change.
32:12I mean, it's not like your career's even started yet, right?
32:15Alexander set his fork down on his plate a little too hard.
32:19Josie's one of the smartest people I've ever met.
32:22And she knows what she's doing with her life.
32:25You all seem to have an unhealthy obsession with her.
32:28Which I kind of get, I'm obsessed too.
32:31I feel lucky she picked me out of all the billionaires in the world.
32:33I almost choked on my drink.
32:36Yeah, it was between you and that prince from Monaco.
32:40But he didn't have the waffle station in his kitchen.
32:43See?
32:44Josie knows exactly what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it.
32:48If I wasn't already halfway in love with Alexander,
32:51that dinner might have pushed me over the edge.
32:54The only thing standing in my way now was Serena,
32:57a retinal scan, a Fabergé egg,
33:00and a mafia woman who was dressed to kill.
33:02Oh god, what was she doing here?
33:06She gestured at me to come outside.
33:08I made an excuse to go to the bathroom
33:10and joined her and her goons across the street.
33:13Way to blend in, guys.
33:15You look like the Grim Reaper's PR team.
33:18We just came from a man's funeral.
33:20Beautiful ceremony.
33:22Casket stayed closed.
33:24For good reason.
33:25Wonderful.
33:26I'm sure he didn't suffer.
33:29Not for long, anyway.
33:30Uh, okay.
33:32So, progress update.
33:34I think I might know where that Fabergé egg is.
33:37I discovered a hidden room in his study,
33:39but it requires his retinal scan.
33:42The mafia woman drew out a Swiss army knife from her bag and tossed it to me.
33:46That's easy.
33:47Just take his eyeball out.
33:49You know, I mean no disrespect,
33:52but your sense of humor is terrible.
33:55She smiled and reached into her bag again,
33:58this time tossing me a sleek device.
34:01This is a portable retinal scanner.
34:03Just hold it close to his eye without him noticing.
34:06That's...
34:07not even the weirdest thing I've done this month.
34:10Good girl.
34:10Oh, and Josie,
34:13you're doing so well.
34:15Don't make us go to more funerals.
34:18Later,
34:19after we'd said goodbye to my family,
34:22Alexander and I took a walk around the block.
34:24So, tough crowd.
34:25I understand why you lied about dating a billionaire now.
34:29Right?
34:30They really know how to push my buttons.
34:36Thank you for everything you said today.
34:39I didn't know you could be so charmingly passive-aggressive.
34:43Didn't say anything I didn't mean.
34:45Except for the charcuterie part.
34:47As you can see,
34:48I can pronounce it just fine.
34:50Didn't doubt that for a second.
34:52As he smiled at me warmly,
34:54I felt my heart sink.
34:56It was getting so much harder to steal from him.
34:59I didn't sleep a wink that night,
35:02trying to think of ways I could
35:03casually scan Alexander's eyeball.
35:06But the universe must have taken pity on me.
35:09Because the next morning,
35:10Mia called.
35:11Alexander's sick.
35:12Like full-blown flu,
35:14delirious with fever kind of sick.
35:15He just called to cancel everything
35:17and then asked me to buy a thousand lottery tickets.
35:20I mean, what?
35:20I dropped everything.
35:22Grabbed soup and headed straight to the mansion.
35:25It felt wrong to be this excited
35:27about someone's immune system collapsing.
35:30But this was my chance.
35:32He opened his bedroom door,
35:34dressed in dinosaur pajamas.
35:36Hey, it's Josie.
35:39You're glowing, girl.
35:40Glowing like a firefly's butt.
35:42Okay, wow.
35:45You're very sick.
35:47What?
35:48No, I feel great.
35:49I took four of those green pills
35:51or maybe six.
35:53I don't know.
35:54I guided him to the couch
35:55and handed him the soup.
35:56He immediately spilled half of it on his lap.
35:59Oh, no.
36:01My thighs.
36:02Are they burning?
36:04Was that soup hot?
36:05No.
36:06It got cold on the way.
36:08You're fine.
36:09Why would you bring me cold soup, Josie?
36:11Why?
36:12I sighed,
36:13got him some paper napkins to clean up,
36:15and sat beside him.
36:21You smell like lavender.
36:25And betrayal.
36:26Uh, what now?
36:28Oh, that's just my shampoo.
36:31It's called floral deception.
36:34Ah, it's nice.
36:35You know what, Josie?
36:37I'm very confused about Serena.
36:39She wants me back,
36:40but I don't know.
36:41Sometimes I'm not sure
36:42if I really love her.
36:44That made me freeze.
36:45She never really made me feel
36:46good about myself,
36:48you know?
36:49It's not like it's with you.
36:51With you,
36:51things are easy.
36:53I don't feel like
36:54I have to prove anything.
36:55I can just be
36:56a regular guy.
36:58Can you clean my nose?
37:00Well,
37:01Serena's perfect.
37:02She'd make anyone feel
37:03like they're not good enough.
37:04And I'm a walking,
37:06talking disaster.
37:08So I'd probably make people
37:10feel better about themselves.
37:11Like,
37:12hey,
37:13at least my life's
37:14not as messy as Josie's.
37:15Or,
37:16I've got it more together
37:17than she does.
37:18He sat up suddenly,
37:20grabbing me by the shoulders.
37:21Don't say that.
37:22You're amazing, Josie.
37:24You're funny
37:25and smart
37:25and pretty.
37:26And you have these eyes
37:27that make me want to do
37:28stupid things.
37:30Like kiss you
37:31right now.
37:32Okay,
37:32whoa.
37:33This isn't real.
37:35It's just the meds talking.
37:37No, really.
37:38I want to kiss you.
37:39Unless
37:40you don't want to.
37:42Which is fine.
37:44My heart was pounding
37:45and I defo wanted to kiss him.
37:48But I had to stay
37:49laser focused.
37:51If you're serious,
37:53then look deep
37:53into my eyes first.
37:55His gaze locked onto mine
37:57like a lovesick puppy.
37:59And then,
38:00I whipped out the scanner
38:01and hovered it
38:02near his eyeball.
38:02Did something just beep?
38:05What beep?
38:06No,
38:07you're just hearing things,
38:08sweetie.
38:09You should sleep.
38:10He leaned in suddenly
38:11with his lips puckered.
38:13He kissed some air
38:14and passed out
38:15face first in my lap,
38:16snoring like a walrus.
38:19Mission accomplished.
38:23But did he really mean that
38:25about Serena
38:25and what he'd said about me?
38:28Ugh.
38:28Even if he liked me,
38:30I was stealing his egg.
38:32We could never work out
38:33as a couple.
38:34I put a blanket over him
38:35and then made my way
38:37towards the study.
38:38Once inside,
38:39I locked the door,
38:40stepped up to the hidden panel
38:42and whipped out the scanner
38:43with Alexander's retinal image
38:45saved on it.
38:46There was a click.
38:47Yes!
38:48And the door opened.
38:51At the end of a small passageway
38:53was a room
38:54full of collector's items.
38:58But in the center,
39:01covered with a glass box,
39:03was a glittering Fabergé egg.
39:06Okay.
39:07I really didn't think
39:09an egg could be so pretty.
39:11I lifted the glass cover
39:12like I was diffusing a bomb,
39:14then carefully picked up the egg
39:16and made my way
39:17back to the study.
39:20Great.
39:21There was no way
39:21this thing was fitting
39:22in my handbag.
39:23I spotted a trash can
39:26filled with tissues
39:27and receipts,
39:28so I put the egg in
39:30and slung the trash bag
39:31over my shoulder.
39:32But I barely made it
39:33ten steps down the hallway
39:35before a housekeeper
39:36appeared out of nowhere.
39:37Ma'am,
39:38why are you
39:39taking out the trash?
39:41Here,
39:41let me.
39:42No,
39:43you stay away!
39:44I mean,
39:45this bag is full of
39:46Alexander's highly
39:47contaminated tissues.
39:49It really doesn't look
39:50like the regular flu.
39:52This snot has a weird color.
39:55I've already been exposed,
39:57so I'll just dispose
39:58it off somewhere.
39:59You stay healthy,
40:01drink orange juice,
40:02and yeah,
40:03bye!
40:04I burst into my apartment,
40:06locked the door shut,
40:07and collapsed onto the floor.
40:10Once I'd caught my breath,
40:12I took the glittering egg out.
40:16And with bated breath,
40:18I opened it.
40:19It was empty.
40:21I turned it around
40:22and upside down,
40:23but I couldn't see
40:24anything concealed
40:25anywhere.
40:26My lifespan
40:27has probably gone down
40:28seven years
40:29with the amount of stress
40:30I've dealt with this week.
40:31And for what?
40:33I tried to calm down
40:34and tilted the egg
40:35one more time.
40:37And that's when I saw
40:38a barely visible scene
40:40near the base.
40:41I pressed gently,
40:42and a tiny compartment
40:44popped open.
40:45Inside
40:46was a micro-USB drive.
40:49Wow.
40:49Hello there,
40:50my sneaky little friend.
40:52What are you hiding?
40:56I plugged the drive
40:57into my laptop.
40:59And files exploded
41:02onto the screen.
41:03Folders with names
41:04of politicians,
41:05celebrities,
41:06judges,
41:07details of offshore
41:08bank accounts,
41:09and more zeros
41:10in those accounts
41:11than my eyes
41:11could even make sense of.
41:13It didn't take a genius
41:14to figure out
41:15that this was
41:16very incriminating evidence
41:18of very high-level corruption.
41:20And in the middle
41:21of all this,
41:22the word Kingston
41:23suddenly glared at me
41:24like a neon sign.
41:26Alexander's grandfather
41:28was on the list.
41:29Oh.
41:29my god.
41:32Alexander doesn't even know
41:33this egg's got evidence
41:34that could turn
41:35his family to toast?
41:37Oh, no.
41:38You get off this laptop,
41:39Lord Voldemow.
41:40I can't have you
41:41accidentally uploading
41:42this to Facebook.
41:43My week wasn't up yet
41:44and I tossed and turned
41:47all night
41:47wondering what I was
41:49supposed to do.
41:50And I reached the conclusion
41:51that I had to tell
41:53Alexander the truth.
41:54I just couldn't hand over
41:55information about his
41:56family like that.
41:58The next morning,
41:59I went to the sketchiest
42:00cafe on the outskirts
42:01of town in disguise
42:02and messaged him
42:03my location,
42:04telling him it was urgent.
42:06When he arrived,
42:07he kept looking around
42:08and was walking
42:09straight past my table
42:10when I grabbed his arm.
42:12Hey, what the?
42:13Uh, Josie?
42:15What are you doing?
42:16Sit down.
42:17Act natural.
42:18Says my fake girlfriend
42:20in disguise.
42:21Okay, whatever this is
42:22it better be good.
42:23I still have fever
42:24and now I'm also
42:25coughing up phlegm.
42:26Alexander,
42:27I stole your egg.
42:28Uh, you mean
42:30from the kitchen?
42:31You can take as many
42:32as you want.
42:33No.
42:34That big,
42:35littery thing
42:36hidden in the vault
42:36you open with your eyeball?
42:38That egg?
42:40Alexander's eyes
42:41grew wide
42:42and then
42:43his face
42:43twisted with anger.
42:45You did what?
42:47Shh,
42:47don't make a scene.
42:49You thought it was
42:49a good idea
42:50to talk about this here?
42:51Yes,
42:52a very smart idea.
42:53You can't scream
42:54or throw things
42:55at me in public.
42:57Josie,
42:57how?
42:59What?
43:00Where do I even begin?
43:01Why?
43:02Maybe because I was
43:03threatened by a mafia lady
43:05who said she'd kill me
43:05and my whole annoying family
43:07if I didn't find the egg?
43:08Look,
43:09I am so terribly sorry
43:11I stole from you,
43:12but I really didn't
43:13have a choice.
43:14Believe me.
43:17Okay,
43:17can you start
43:18from the beginning?
43:19After I told him
43:19everything,
43:20he didn't exactly
43:21look shocked.
43:23I already know
43:23about the drive.
43:24You do?
43:25I didn't at first.
43:27I bought the egg
43:28at that auction
43:28because it was rare
43:29and,
43:30yeah,
43:30glittery.
43:31But I did find
43:32the drive inside
43:32eventually.
43:33And Black Orchid
43:34wants it to blackmail
43:35the world's most
43:36powerful crooks?
43:37Looks like it.
43:38I'm curious.
43:40Why didn't you
43:41destroy the drive?
43:42Because if I did that,
43:43I'd be helping to
43:44cover up my grandfather's crimes.
43:46But I haven't had the courage
43:47to do the right thing
43:48either yet.
43:49He isn't alive,
43:50but if this news gets out,
43:51it'll destroy our legacy
43:53and reputation forever.
43:54I'm sorry.
43:55Really,
43:56that's a lot to have
43:57on your shoulders.
43:59The egg's in your court,
44:00but you have to make
44:01a decision soon,
44:02and I'm gonna need
44:03your help to not get
44:04killed by that woman.
44:05I'm still confused
44:06about one thing.
44:07How did you break
44:08into my vault?
44:09We don't have time
44:10for this right now.
44:11Waiter,
44:12check please!
44:13The next day,
44:14I arranged a meeting
44:15with Black Orchid,
44:16who told me to come
44:17to the same building
44:18where we'd first met.
44:20Wow,
44:20you're really working
44:22that smoky eye.
44:23and love
44:24your little
44:25gooky scarf.
44:26Thanks.
44:27It's strong enough
44:28to choke a grown man.
44:30Why do things get
44:31so morbid with you
44:32so fast?
44:33Uh,
44:33anyway,
44:34here's your egg.
44:35She pulled out
44:36the Fabergé egg
44:37from the bag,
44:38then turned it over
44:38immediately
44:39and clicked open
44:40the hidden seam.
44:41The compartment
44:42was empty,
44:43and her face
44:44turned dark.
44:45Where's the drive?
44:46Look,
44:47I was too scared
44:48to even open the egg,
44:49and I certainly
44:50didn't know
44:50about any
44:51hidden compartments.
44:53I have no idea.
44:54You're lying.
44:56I swear,
44:57on Lord Voldemeyow's life,
44:58I don't know anything.
45:00Fine.
45:01Let's call in,
45:02lover boy.
45:03I think he has
45:04a very full schedule
45:05today.
45:06Meeting,
45:07stress naps,
45:07crying into his money piles,
45:09you know,
45:10billionaire stuff.
45:11Oh,
45:12don't worry.
45:13I know how to
45:14make a man
45:15come running.
45:17And there I was again,
45:19tied to a chair
45:19on a rooftop.
45:21The mafia woman
45:21sent a photograph
45:22of me to Alexander,
45:23and sure enough,
45:2520 minutes later,
45:26Alexander
45:27burst through
45:27the rooftop door.
45:29Wow,
45:30man's really
45:30did come running,
45:32and he'd be looking.
45:33hot while doing it.
45:35Shut up,
45:36brain.
45:37He silently
45:37gave the drive
45:38to Black Orchid,
45:39then strode over
45:40and started
45:40untying me.
45:41I thought you said
45:42you could stall her
45:43for a while,
45:44without ending up
45:44in a life-threatening
45:45situation.
45:46I tried,
45:47man.
45:48Things just always
45:48escalate really fast
45:50with her.
45:51Black Orchid
45:51plugged the flash drive
45:52into her laptop,
45:53and it was the first time
45:55I'd seen her smile
45:56widely.
45:57So creepy.
45:59Oh,
45:59yes.
46:01This is the real thing.
46:02Glad you approve.
46:04Can we go now?
46:05Of course.
46:06Josie,
46:07you can expect
46:08a Lord of Grey
46:09and a box of skin care soon.
46:11Amazing.
46:12You'll send the skin care
46:13every month, right?
46:14I thought that was the deal.
46:16You know what?
46:18I like you.
46:19You've actually
46:20been very useful,
46:21and I could definitely
46:22use a lawyer
46:23willing to break
46:24the law now and then.
46:25I'll be in touch.
46:27Ta-da!
46:27She was almost
46:29at the door
46:29to the stairwell
46:30when suddenly
46:31one of her goons spoke.
46:33Boss,
46:34you need to see this.
46:37He showed her his phone
46:38and her face
46:39twisted.
46:40Breaking news.
46:41Elite corruption files
46:43leaked in
46:43bombshell data dump.
46:45I told that idiot
46:46journalist to wait
46:47a couple of hours.
46:48Did you account
46:48for the time difference
46:50since he lives
46:50so far away?
46:52Black Orchid
46:52turned to us,
46:54her eyes burning.
46:55You leaked it.
46:57You exposed
46:57your own family.
46:59Yeah, I did.
47:00I don't want to
47:01inherit a dirty legacy.
47:02And you can't use
47:03the files to blackmail
47:04anyone now
47:05since they're out
47:06there anyway.
47:06Your name's on it too.
47:08You might need
47:09an actual lawyer.
47:10And then suddenly,
47:11she screamed
47:12like a banshee
47:13and came running
47:14at me.
47:15And before I could
47:15even react,
47:16she pushed me
47:17over the rooftop.
47:25Alexander lunged
47:27forward to grab
47:28my hand
47:28and went over
47:29with me.
47:31Josie,
47:31open your eyes.
47:32So I can see
47:33the pavement
47:34I'm going to
47:34smack my skull on?
47:37And then suddenly,
47:38I hit a springy surface,
47:40bounced off of it,
47:41flipped,
47:41and landed
47:42straight on Alexander.
47:44What the heck?
47:46Did we just land
47:47on an inflatable
47:48mattress?
47:50When she sent
47:51that photo
47:51of you tied up,
47:53I had my team
47:53set up these
47:54landing pads
47:55on every side
47:55of the building,
47:56just in case
47:57she tried something.
47:59Oh my god,
48:00I love rich people
48:01so much,
48:02I could just
48:03kiss you right now.
48:04Yeah?
48:05What's stopping you?
48:06His face
48:07was so close to mine,
48:08and suddenly,
48:09my heart wasn't
48:10just pounding
48:11from the near-death
48:12experience.
48:13As we both leaned in,
48:15a pigeon
48:15suddenly pooped
48:16on my head.
48:18And the moment
48:19was gone.
48:20So,
48:21the good news
48:22was that Black Orchid
48:23was arrested
48:24on seven counts
48:25of money laundering,
48:26illegal arms deals,
48:27and,
48:27oh yeah,
48:28kidnapping me
48:29and pushing me
48:30off a rooftop.
48:31Also,
48:32her actual name
48:33was released
48:33on the news,
48:34Janice Mildred
48:36Witherspoon.
48:37Meanwhile,
48:38the corruption
48:39scandal exploded,
48:41and Alexander
48:42was buried
48:43in lawyers,
48:44press conferences,
48:45and damage control.
48:46You took down
48:47the mafia
48:48and exposed
48:49all these crooks.
48:50You,
48:51Josie Hart,
48:51the girl
48:52who once got
48:52banned from
48:53Ikea
48:53for accidentally
48:54setting off
48:55a fire extinguisher
48:56thinking it was
48:57air freshener.
48:58Yeah,
48:59I still can't
48:59believe it either.
49:00I'm not the kind
49:01of person
49:01crazy exciting
49:02things happen to,
49:04only crazy stupid.
49:06So,
49:06the fake girlfriend
49:07gig is over?
49:08We haven't had
49:09a chance to talk,
49:10but,
49:10yeah,
49:11I should think so.
49:13Serena wants him back,
49:14and that's what
49:15he wanted,
49:15right?
49:16And with this scandal
49:17all over the news,
49:18I think my family
49:19won't take our
49:20breakup too badly.
49:21And you're gonna
49:22let him go
49:23just like that?
49:24Yep.
49:25So,
49:25I just went back
49:27to my normal life.
49:28If you can call
49:29baking a dozen loaves
49:30of banana bread
49:30every day
49:31and sobbing into a pillow
49:32watching Pride and Prejudice
49:33for the hundredth time,
49:34normal.
49:35One morning,
49:36as I was eating
49:37chocolate ice cream,
49:38the doorbell rang,
49:39and I found
49:40Alexander outside,
49:42looking slightly tired,
49:44but as good as ever.
49:46Hi,
49:46I should have called
49:47before coming,
49:48I guess,
49:48but I assumed
49:49you'd be home.
49:50Because what?
49:51I couldn't possibly
49:52have plans?
49:53Well,
49:54do you have any plans?
49:56No,
49:57just come in.
50:03So,
50:04how's it going
50:05with the ruined business
50:06and the shattered
50:07public image?
50:08On the bright side,
50:09we can't be jailed
50:10for my grandfather's crimes.
50:11But,
50:12of course,
50:12we've taken
50:13a massive hit financially.
50:17So,
50:17you're,
50:18like,
50:18poor now?
50:19Relatively.
50:20We'll have to share
50:21a helicopter
50:22with another family.
50:24It's free tonight,
50:25and I was wondering
50:26if I could fly you out
50:27for a date.
50:28I mean,
50:28a real one.
50:30I've really missed you,
50:30Josie.
50:32You,
50:32you mean that?
50:33What about Serena?
50:35Ugh,
50:35that insufferable woman.
50:37So,
50:38I figured
50:38I'd just been
50:39hung up on her
50:39because she dumped me.
50:41And I didn't really want her.
50:43And I went to tell her
50:43just that.
50:44Except she rejected me first.
50:46Again!
50:47She said after my family's scandal
50:49she didn't want me.
50:50I really gave her
50:51a piece of my mind.
50:52I was bold,
50:53eloquent.
50:54I even quoted Shakespeare.
50:55Oh,
50:56what did you say?
50:58Shall I compare thee
50:59to a summer's day?
51:01No,
51:01I shall not.
51:02Because a summer's day
51:03is not a witch.
51:07That's
51:07really something.
51:10Also,
51:11I had Mia send
51:11your application
51:12for the bar exam again.
51:14Honestly,
51:14after the pressure-filled
51:15situations you've been in,
51:17I have a feeling
51:17you'll breeze through it now.
51:19But if you need me to,
51:20I can buy a law degree
51:21for you.
51:22That's
51:22very sweet.
51:24But
51:24maybe you stay away
51:26from doing
51:26illegal things,
51:27okay?
51:28And
51:28yes,
51:30I'm free for a date tonight.
51:32Can you
51:32send your styling team
51:33over, though?
51:34No.
51:35I like you
51:36just the way you are,
51:37Josie Hart.
51:39Turns out,
51:40maybe I am
51:41the kind of person
51:41exciting things happen to.
51:43And
51:43maybe,
51:44just maybe,
51:46I'll
51:46pass the bar exam
51:47next time.
51:48If not,
51:49at least I've got
51:50a really hot
51:51backup plan.
51:58That's
52:04which
52:05kind of
52:06has
52:07been
52:07going
