00:00:00So I take it you do this a lot?
00:00:05Not really. So consider yourself lucky.
00:00:08I don't think you'd say that if you knew who I am.
00:00:10I don't need your backstory.
00:00:12I'm never gonna see you again.
00:00:14No, Alicia Brown.
00:00:16I will see you very soon.
00:00:30Miss Brown, this is a contract for your father to sell the house.
00:00:34No, this is my mother's house. You have no right to sell it.
00:00:37It's not your house.
00:00:38Poor thing. It won't even have a roof over her head.
00:00:42When your mother died, she passed ownership to your father.
00:00:45You have no legal right.
00:00:49I put myself through college. I never asked you for any money.
00:00:52Why do you have to take away Mom's house?
00:00:55This house was the only thing our mother left her.
00:00:58Shut up. Remember whose side you're on.
00:01:02No, I'm not gonna let you sell the house.
00:01:05Unfortunately, Miss Brown, you have no legal claim on the house.
00:01:10Only Mr. Brown can sell or transfer ownership.
00:01:15Oh, my dear sister, don't worry.
00:01:17I have a proposition.
00:01:19You can keep your Mom's house if you marry that Lucius lion so I don't have to.
00:01:26What?
00:01:28Mother's family and the lion family needs to work together.
00:01:33Tighter bonds lead to a better business.
00:01:35I'm gonna do you good to marry a lion.
00:01:37They're very influential.
00:01:39Almost like Cinderella, it says.
00:01:41This is your family business, not mine.
00:01:43And I'm not your sister.
00:01:45Um, fine. Then gather your garbage and leave.
00:01:49We'll give you a minute to sacrifice.
00:01:51Dad, how can you let them do this?
00:01:54But, Laura...
00:01:55I make the rules in this house.
00:01:57Marry Lucius lion or get out of my house.
00:01:59We want your answer before the end of the day.
00:02:02Wait, can I...
00:02:04Can I at least meet the guy?
00:02:06I'm not sure.
00:02:08He's a busy man.
00:02:09Probably out fucking a two dollar whore.
00:02:18There's no way I'd marry you off to that good for nothing man whore.
00:02:21Thank God.
00:02:22I was getting nervous there for a minute.
00:02:24At this table, I make the rules.
00:02:48Do as I say, and our game goes on.
00:02:52Mr. Lion, you win.
00:02:55We'll continue to comply with your company.
00:02:58Pleasure doing business with you.
00:03:16You have a quarterly meeting today.
00:03:18And...
00:03:19Why?
00:03:20Spit it out.
00:03:21Your father is threatening your privileges if you don't marry.
00:03:24You're not going to try to use me to keep the family business together.
00:03:28I've dug up everything on the elder daughter of the Brown family.
00:03:32Alicia Brown?
00:03:33Thought I was to marry the other one.
00:03:34You know, the brunette.
00:03:35She's a hard worker.
00:03:36I want to meet her.
00:03:37I want to meet her.
00:03:38Don't you bitches even think about evicting me.
00:03:39It's not going to happen.
00:03:40This house belongs to me and my mother.
00:03:44This house belongs to me and my mother.
00:03:45This house belongs to me and my mother.
00:03:51She says thanks but wants to be alone tonight.
00:03:52Thanks for trying.
00:03:54Better luck next time.
00:03:55Thanks for trying.
00:03:56Better luck next time.
00:03:58Thanks for trying.
00:03:59Thanks for trying.
00:04:00See you later.
00:04:01See you later?
00:04:02I'm gonna die.
00:04:03Beautiful.
00:04:04You got married?
00:04:05I'm gonna die.
00:04:06Not sure.
00:04:08You're not gonna be a husband.
00:04:09I'm gonna die.
00:04:10My mother is a daughter.
00:04:11I'm gonna die.
00:04:12Come on.
00:04:14I'm gonna die.
00:04:15You're not gonna die.
00:04:16And I'm going to die.
00:04:18I'm going to die.
00:04:19And I'm gonna die.
00:04:20I'm gonna die.
00:04:21I wanted to come over here and personally say thank you, but I'm not interested in meeting
00:04:38anyone tonight.
00:04:40No hard feelings, but if you still want a free drink, please.
00:04:47I hate rum.
00:04:49I see someone drink like that, they're definitely trying to forget something.
00:05:05Like I said, I'm not here to meet a friend.
00:05:08Fine.
00:05:09But when I see someone sulking by themselves, I try to help.
00:05:15If you want another drink for your troubles, it's on me.
00:05:19You rehearsed that line?
00:05:22I figured in exchange for a drink, you'd get whatever's bothering you off your trust.
00:05:31What's your name?
00:05:33I'm nobody.
00:05:35Besides, you said you're not interested in making any friends.
00:05:38Okay, nobody.
00:05:40If you want to hear about it, I'll take that drink.
00:05:47The wine's gone.
00:05:51Damn it.
00:05:53Marrying someone you don't love?
00:05:55Mm-hmm.
00:05:56Well, I'm rooting for you.
00:05:59Hope the guy's decent.
00:06:03What was that for?
00:06:07You're cute and sweet, and well, I won't get to do this again.
00:06:17So I take it you do this a lot?
00:06:18Not really.
00:06:20So consider yourself lucky.
00:06:21I don't think you'd say that if you knew who I am.
00:06:24I don't need your backstory.
00:06:26I'm never going to see you again.
00:06:56No need to sneak out.
00:06:59I'm not hurt you're trying to leave.
00:07:03Last night was a mistake.
00:07:05No, no.
00:07:06Last night was nice.
00:07:07You're nice.
00:07:08It was all nice.
00:07:12Well, I'm convinced.
00:07:14But are you sure you don't want to know who I am?
00:07:18Look, if we'd met at another time, then maybe we could get coffee or something, but
00:07:22I'm kind of getting married.
00:07:23Well, I did not see that coming.
00:07:33Well, I hope your soon-to-be husband doesn't find out about all this and,
00:07:39I don't know, shoot me?
00:07:41No, it'll be our little secret, okay?
00:07:43Um, I should go.
00:07:47Sorry.
00:07:53Tell my father I'll agree to the wedding.
00:08:07Alicia Brown.
00:08:11What an interesting woman.
00:08:12Are you ready?
00:08:23I've made a change to our agreement.
00:08:26I want it in writing.
00:08:29One year of marriage, I get my mother's house.
00:08:33I didn't agree to that.
00:08:34I get the house on your good word.
00:08:39I'm not stupid.
00:08:42You want the house back that bad?
00:08:45Two years at the least.
00:08:46It's my final offer.
00:08:51Deal.
00:08:56You want the house back that bad?
00:08:57Two years at the least.
00:09:00It's my final offer.
00:09:04Deal.
00:09:08Okay, where's the groom?
00:09:10Maybe he realized who he was marrying and backed out.
00:09:17Let's just get this over with.
00:09:18He'd better settle for you or you could kiss that house goodbye.
00:09:21I heard Lucius was a promiscuous man.
00:09:24I mean, he slept with half the women in this town.
00:09:26He and his father hate each other.
00:09:30Sorry I'm late.
00:09:41Sorry I'm late.
00:09:48I'm fine young gentleman.
00:09:58Is that Lucius' line?
00:10:00He's sexy.
00:10:01I see why the girls like him.
00:10:03Oh, add me to that list.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:07Excuse me?
00:10:11Shall we?
00:10:12You're Lucius' line?
00:10:14One and only.
00:10:15Why did you say something?
00:10:17Do you like fucking with the girls you sleep with?
00:10:19You didn't want to know me.
00:10:21Unbelievable.
00:10:23You came on to me, so it's not my fault.
00:10:26Hey.
00:10:28A little bicker after we get married.
00:10:30Sorry father.
00:10:33This isn't over.
00:10:42It's an honor to marry your daughter.
00:10:44The honor is all ours.
00:10:45I'm sure you two will get along sweaty.
00:10:48You needn't worry about a thing.
00:10:50Well, I hope our business relations will grow even stronger now.
00:10:55I'm not quite concerned with business on my wedding day.
00:10:57And how are you feeling, sweetheart?
00:11:11We need to talk through a few things in time.
00:11:13You get all your one night stands to do your cleaning for you?
00:11:26I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:11:28I'm a maid, maybe?
00:11:36I have a few questions.
00:11:37Ask away.
00:11:39Quit it with the Prince Charming routine.
00:11:42It might work on your one night stands, but it's not going to work on me.
00:11:45It worked on you that night.
00:11:50I have a few questions.
00:11:51Ask away.
00:11:53Quit it with the Prince Charming routine.
00:11:56It might work on your other one night stands, but it's not going to work on me.
00:11:58It worked on you that night.
00:12:00I told you I overdid it that night.
00:12:03And now that I'm being forced to marry you, I need to lay down some rules.
00:12:08Very well.
00:12:09It wasn't my choice to marry you either.
00:12:11What do you mean?
00:12:12My father thinks I'm only good for the family business.
00:12:15He wanted this marriage to get your family's shares in our company.
00:12:20Wait, so that night you found me, you were actually trying to get to know me?
00:12:27Damn it, why didn't you just say something?
00:12:28I guess it's too late now.
00:12:31You said you had some rules?
00:12:34Rule number one.
00:12:35You stay out of my business, I stay out of yours.
00:12:38I just got done with school and I'm looking for a job, so.
00:12:41Fair enough.
00:12:41I wouldn't want you meddling in my business.
00:12:43Okay, great.
00:12:44Rule number two.
00:12:45Now, hang on.
00:12:46Even if it's strictly business, this is a relationship.
00:12:49A relationship is a two-way street.
00:12:52You want rules, then so do I.
00:12:56Fair is fair.
00:12:57What are your rules?
00:12:59When the time comes, I need you to act like my wife for appearances.
00:13:04Wow.
00:13:05Didn't strike me as someone who cared what people thought.
00:13:08Well, I have family duties the same as you.
00:13:14Rule number two.
00:13:14I'm not going to move in with you.
00:13:16Why?
00:13:17I don't feel comfortable living in someone else's home.
00:13:22Then I want a date.
00:13:23You're being serious?
00:13:27You're pleasant enough.
00:13:29Besides, I should know who I'm married to.
00:13:31All right, consider it done.
00:13:33Rule number three.
00:13:35I want a divorce.
00:13:38In two years.
00:13:38My father should have your family's shares by then.
00:13:44He wouldn't care much what we do.
00:13:47Deal?
00:13:49Deal.
00:13:52Now, this marriage might be entitled alone,
00:13:54But if you need anything, you've got it.
00:14:01Thanks.
00:14:06I want a divorce.
00:14:24Hi.
00:14:25Alicia Brown.
00:14:26Yeah.
00:14:27That's me.
00:14:27You don't recognize me?
00:14:30No.
00:14:30I don't think so.
00:14:31Jenna.
00:14:32Jenna Davis.
00:14:33We went to high school together.
00:14:34Jenna.
00:14:36Oh my god, it's been years.
00:14:37Yeah.
00:14:38Since when do you work at Vision Tech?
00:14:40Oh my god, at school.
00:14:41What have you been up to?
00:14:43Grad school.
00:14:44I just graduated.
00:14:45Well, luckily, I got a job right off the bat.
00:14:47And now I'm a director.
00:14:49Congratulations.
00:14:50Thanks.
00:14:51Now, I won't go easy on you just because we were classmates.
00:14:55No.
00:14:56Yeah, no.
00:14:56I wouldn't expect you to.
00:14:58I like a challenge.
00:14:58Prior work experience.
00:15:06I see you have won an internship.
00:15:10Yeah, from grad school.
00:15:11I was in product development.
00:15:12Hmm.
00:15:13I saw that.
00:15:15Our department has pretty strict screening standards.
00:15:20You need two years experience for an interview.
00:15:23How did her resume land on my desk?
00:15:27Sorry, Sean is the executive director's assistant.
00:15:30I have to run this by him.
00:15:32The boss hoped you'd consider it.
00:15:34Do you know one of the bosses here?
00:15:36No.
00:15:36I don't.
00:15:37I don't.
00:15:38Sean, I thought I had control over this project.
00:15:41The boss personally scanned her resume.
00:15:43Okay, but if he already made the decision, then why waste my time with an interview?
00:15:54Are you questioning his judgment?
00:15:55Um, excuse me?
00:15:57What are you guys talking about?
00:15:58Look, I guess you don't need to worry about it.
00:16:01Did your stepmother organize this for you?
00:16:03She certainly could have.
00:16:04No, you're the one that set up the interview.
00:16:06All right.
00:16:06Well, it looks like you got the job.
00:16:08Congrats.
00:16:09I'm going to send you the details and the offer to your email.
00:16:13What kind of interview is this?
00:16:22Don't worry, madam.
00:16:24Everything's under the boss's control.
00:16:34Alicia, I don't often run into such pretty women around here.
00:16:37I don't usually run into creeps around here.
00:16:40How's the job search going?
00:16:42It's good.
00:16:43I just interviewed with Vision Tech.
00:16:44You ever heard of it?
00:16:46Some what?
00:16:47Something weird happened, though.
00:16:49What's that?
00:16:49Someone must have put in a good word for me, because I think I got the job.
00:16:53That's great.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:54It's all cause to celebrate.
00:16:55How about a drink later?
00:16:56Oh, no.
00:16:57Not tonight.
00:16:58I have to start preparing and stuff.
00:17:00Actually, I'm going to need to steal you tonight.
00:17:03For what?
00:17:04My parents.
00:17:05They're going to start second guessing me if they haven't met my new, charming, intelligent,
00:17:09beautiful wife.
00:17:11Fine.
00:17:12But first, we have to get you a dress.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:16Well, you have to have a dress to look the part.
00:17:18I'm not the part.
00:17:19Don't forget that.
00:17:20Come on.
00:17:22What about our rules?
00:17:31How about this one?
00:17:32Well, don't tell me to try on a dress and then not pay attention to it.
00:17:49Yeah, you look good.
00:17:51Good?
00:17:52I'd say I have you spellbound.
00:17:54Spellbound?
00:17:55Mm-hmm.
00:17:56Slightly intrigued at most?
00:17:59Whatever.
00:18:02Like the dress?
00:18:06Oh, I don't know yet.
00:18:07I'm waiting for my husband, but I think he really loves it.
00:18:11Well, if you don't intend on buying the dress, I'm going to need you to take it off.
00:18:15What do you mean?
00:18:16I just told you that I don't know.
00:18:18No offense.
00:18:19We see this kind of thing all the time.
00:18:22I'm sorry.
00:18:22I don't think I follow.
00:18:24Don't take this the wrong way.
00:18:25But lots of people come in here and try on dresses and they can't afford them.
00:18:30And that's okay at a second-hand thrift store.
00:18:33But these dresses are quite expensive.
00:18:35Are you trying to say that I can't afford this dress?
00:18:39We see your kind here all the time.
00:18:41My kind?
00:18:43I'm sorry, I...
00:18:44We'll take it.
00:18:48We'll take it.
00:18:49Sir, this dress costs $8,000.
00:18:52You look great.
00:18:54I'm spellbound.
00:18:56$8,000 is a lot of money.
00:18:58The cost doesn't matter.
00:18:59For you, darling, anything.
00:19:02Miss, we'll take this.
00:19:04Oh, I'd be happy to help.
00:19:05However, I'm going to need you to apologize to my wife first for the rude mistake you just made.
00:19:13Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
00:19:16She's going to be a regular here now, so remember her face.
00:19:19You would make a ridiculous mistake like that again.
00:19:23Of course, I would.
00:19:32Hey, Lucius.
00:19:33Hey.
00:19:33Hey.
00:19:34Lewis, sweetheart, it's been ages since I got to see you.
00:19:37I'll call you.
00:19:37I take it you know all the women here?
00:19:40Most.
00:19:41Hmm, just like Hugh Huffner.
00:19:53Mr. and Mrs. Lyon, I'm so sorry we didn't visit sooner.
00:19:57No worries.
00:19:58Look at you, Alicia.
00:20:00So beautiful.
00:20:02You know, I really feel like Lucius is going to start behaving now that he's landed a catch like you.
00:20:07Sure, she's got me right in her pocket.
00:20:10Well, then I'd better not hear any more stories about you gallivanting around town with all manners of
00:20:14loose tarts then.
00:20:16I wish you please.
00:20:18Just make yourself at home.
00:20:20I'm really starting to lose my patience.
00:20:23I think we should get out of here before I say something that I regret.
00:20:27Such a wonderful couple.
00:20:36Happy family.
00:20:40You have been gone for ages.
00:20:41You forget about me the minute you're married off.
00:20:43Of course not, how could I forget about you?
00:20:52You're always on my mind, dear.
00:20:54I know we're only married in title, but can you please stop flirting with other women in front of me?
00:20:57Or can you not keep it in your pants?
00:20:59Oh, it's nice to meet you too.
00:21:01Kiki's been my best friend since we were children.
00:21:05Don't be jealous.
00:21:06Jealous?
00:21:07You're the one that wanted me here for appearances.
00:21:10Can you at least pretend like we're married if it's not important?
00:21:13Also, is she like even 18?
00:21:14This whole Leonardo DiCaprio look, it's not working for you.
00:21:18I need a drink.
00:21:19Kiki, please keep my darling wife company for a bit.
00:21:22You two are really an eye catcher.
00:21:24Yeah, my brother is so cute.
00:21:26He's funny and kind too.
00:21:29Consider yourself lucky to have him in only four appearances.
00:21:32Brother?
00:21:33Yeah, my biological brother.
00:21:37I'm sorry, I didn't know he had a sister.
00:21:39It's all right, we like to mess with the newcomers.
00:21:41Welcome to the family slice.
00:21:43I guess smart ass runs in the family.
00:21:45I like you.
00:21:47Lucius is going to have his hands full.
00:21:48I have my hands full.
00:21:50He's a womanizer.
00:21:51He just plays playboy to piss off our father.
00:21:55Is he really that bad?
00:21:57No, he just puts on an act.
00:21:58If you want to understand, just take it easy on him, okay?
00:22:07So Lucius, it's been a while.
00:22:08Yes.
00:22:09Have you been?
00:22:10Jesus, I almost believed his sister's crap.
00:22:13I need to get out of this nightmare.
00:22:15I don't know about that.
00:22:18Excuse me.
00:22:23Alicia, wait.
00:22:25Wear my coat.
00:22:27It's cold.
00:22:28Alicia, wait.
00:22:33Wear my coat.
00:22:36It's cold.
00:22:40Why don't you just go back inside and play grab ass with the other women?
00:22:44Why do you care?
00:22:46You said we'd stay out of each other's lives.
00:22:47Because.
00:22:48Because?
00:22:50Is it because you're jealous?
00:22:53In your dreams.
00:22:55Just forget about it.
00:22:56Let me take you home.
00:22:58Let me take you home.
00:22:59Please?
00:23:03Fine.
00:23:05Now button your coat.
00:23:06It's cold.
00:23:07Thanks for the ride.
00:23:15I'm sorry I got so mad.
00:23:20You're my wife.
00:23:21You have every right to be mad.
00:23:23Can I come in?
00:23:26No, no.
00:23:27No, we are not having a repeat of what happened that night after the bar.
00:23:30Who said anything about that?
00:23:32FYI, you did come on to me first.
00:23:34Yeah, well that was a mistake.
00:23:36Clearly I wasn't thinking straight.
00:23:39Can I have a snack?
00:23:40I haven't eaten anything all day.
00:23:45Please?
00:23:48Pizza rolls.
00:23:49That's all I have.
00:23:58Wow.
00:23:59A looker and a chef.
00:24:00Shut up, eat, and leave.
00:24:03You never cease to amaze me.
00:24:05What?
00:24:06I thought you were like other socialites.
00:24:08But here you are, a working girl eating pizza rolls.
00:24:11Yeah, well neither are exactly a choice, Lucius.
00:24:15No, I guess not.
00:24:19Why don't you live with your father and mother?
00:24:23Laura's not my mother.
00:24:24I don't really have a family.
00:24:25I've been alone since I was 18.
00:24:28I'm sorry.
00:24:29I don't know the first thing about you.
00:24:32You are not the first person to say that to me.
00:24:35Well, why did you agree to this marriage then?
00:24:39This.
00:24:42Laura only wanted me to marry you for your family's money.
00:24:44She didn't want her own daughter marrying a pretty rich man whore.
00:24:49Ouch.
00:24:51So we made a deal.
00:24:54I marry you in Candace's place.
00:24:57I get the house.
00:24:58This?
00:25:00This?
00:25:00This is it?
00:25:01This house?
00:25:01You married me for a house?
00:25:05Yeah, it was my mom's house.
00:25:08All my memories.
00:25:09All the good ones.
00:25:12They're here.
00:25:13I know it's small and it's old.
00:25:21But I love everything about it.
00:25:22The color.
00:25:25The texture.
00:25:30I even like the smell.
00:25:32The smell?
00:25:33Yeah, it smells like my mom.
00:25:34Can't you file a lawsuit?
00:25:39This is your mother's legacy.
00:25:41No.
00:25:43The deed's in my dad's name.
00:25:44He's such a weak-willed coward.
00:25:47Laura walks all over him.
00:25:48So I honor our agreement for two years.
00:25:53And I get the house.
00:25:58I'm sorry.
00:26:05What if I don't want this to end?
00:26:14Hi, um, I should go to bed.
00:26:19Enjoy the pizza rolls.
00:26:21Good night.
00:26:24Alicia, I know you love this place,
00:26:28but it's so far from your work.
00:26:30I want to help in any way that I can.
00:26:33So maybe to better focus on your work,
00:26:35you can move in with me.
00:26:39I'll think about it.
00:26:48wear my coat.
00:26:54It's cold.
00:26:57I can see it.
00:27:15See that new bee?
00:27:15I heard someone pulled the strings for her.
00:27:18She's pretty.
00:27:20I don't know what she'd have to offer.
00:27:22I can think of a few facts.
00:27:31There's bound to be gossip.
00:27:34I'm sorry, what exactly are you trying to say?
00:27:38Word is you slept with the boss, but you know people like to gossip.
00:27:45Yeah, whatever.
00:27:49Think of it as a little office hazing.
00:27:54Now, our new CEO is having a meeting at 11.
00:27:56I need you to record the minutes.
00:27:59Got it.
00:28:02Hello, everyone.
00:28:03Department heads, project leads.
00:28:05I am Jamal Lyon, your new CEO.
00:28:08Jamal?
00:28:12Jamal?
00:28:13What's the matter with you?
00:28:15So, to get things started off, I would like reports from the department heads.
00:28:31Is Jamal the one you slept with?
00:28:33No.
00:28:34Alicia Brown, did not expect to see you here.
00:28:38Hi, Mr. Lyon.
00:28:39I'm Jenna, Alicia's supervisor.
00:28:41Hi, Jenna.
00:28:42Do you mind?
00:28:43I'd like to have a private conversation with Alicia.
00:28:46Sure.
00:28:48Do you want to have a quick chat over coffee?
00:28:55I still have a lot of work.
00:28:56I have to-
00:28:57Just take a second.
00:28:58Come on.
00:28:59Just check out my office.
00:29:00I never thought I'd work for you.
00:29:01Well, you know, boss, employee, they're just meaningless titles, right?
00:29:12Yeah.
00:29:13By the way, I've been meaning to catch up with you.
00:29:17You didn't.
00:29:18Alicia, I don't like the way that we left things in school.
00:29:23We were on different tracks.
00:29:25I mean, you were so busy, I barely saw you.
00:29:28I still think about you.
00:29:30A lot.
00:29:32So, I take it you graduated then?
00:29:35That took a little longer than you, but yes.
00:29:38Congrats.
00:29:40So, I was wondering if maybe you would, um, want to go out and get a drink with me sometime?
00:29:48Family?
00:29:49Family business.
00:29:50My- do you know- do you know Lucius?
00:29:55Hey, bro.
00:29:56Lucius.
00:29:57W-what are you doing here?
00:29:59You know, I thought you would come see me when you came back in town, but it looks like
00:30:04you, uh, decided to see your sister-in-law instead.
00:30:07I hate sister-in-law, Lucy.
00:30:09Yeah, uh, I didn't mention it, but I'm- I'm married.
00:30:12You married him?
00:30:13Yeah, uh, I didn't mention it, but I'm- I'm married.
00:30:17You married him?
00:30:19But, uh, Alicia, he's-
00:30:21Hey, let's not forget who's been running the family business since you've been off playing
00:30:24schoolboy.
00:30:25Oh, is that what you call it?
00:30:26Is that why I was called in to save the family business?
00:30:28Because you've been doing such a great job?
00:30:29Oh, is that right?
00:30:30Solitaire helps with productivity, does it?
00:30:32Well, I'm on the board of directors, remember that, so I have every right to fire you right
00:30:37now.
00:30:38No, Lucius, you just have half a mile.
00:30:39You guys- stop.
00:30:40Brothers?
00:30:41No.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:43Plus it's just brothers.
00:30:45Yes, technically, but I wish we weren't.
00:30:48So, you're the boss here?
00:30:50One of them?
00:30:51So is that how I got the interview?
00:30:54No, no, no, of course it is.
00:30:56What happened to staying out of each other's business?
00:30:58You just shut up, okay?
00:31:02You know what your little stunt did?
00:31:04It made everyone here think that I'm sleeping my way to the top.
00:31:07I'm sorry.
00:31:08You know what, you're no better.
00:31:09You might as well just told everybody that we fucked.
00:31:12Did you?
00:31:13Not since grad school.
00:31:14What?!
00:31:15Look, I'll tell her to take care of me.
00:31:18Both of you just do whatever the fuck you want without any consideration of how it affects
00:31:21other people.
00:31:22So, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to work before Jenna fires me.
00:31:27I don't know what happened between you and her, but leave her alone.
00:31:39You know, Lucius, maybe if you knew how to treat a woman, she would have stormed out there like that.
00:31:45How about you think about that as you get the fuck out of my office?
00:31:48Oh, you're gonna tell Dad?
00:31:49Maybe.
00:31:50Yeah, sounds about right.
00:31:52Hey, how are you?
00:31:57How's it going along with you?
00:32:00It's going really good.
00:32:01Yeah?
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03You're gonna accomplish?
00:32:04Mmhmm.
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:09Hey.
00:32:10Hi.
00:32:11I got us some coffee if you wanna.
00:32:13Have a little one in my office?
00:32:14Yeah.
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:16I'm not trying to make it hard on you, but your meetings have put you way behind schedule.
00:32:26I know.
00:32:27I need you to get back on schedule by the end of the day.
00:32:30I'll get caught up by the end of the day.
00:32:32Hey.
00:32:38Hey.
00:32:39I was just about to call you to my office.
00:32:41You and Jamal need to stop.
00:32:42It's making the rumors worse.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:45I'll tell you what.
00:32:46I'll work from home.
00:32:47But.
00:32:48But what?
00:32:49But.
00:32:50We never had that date.
00:32:51Huh?
00:32:52One of our rules?
00:32:54I wanted a date.
00:32:55Fine.
00:32:56But if you guys don't stop, I'm going to tell your daddy about workplace practices.
00:33:01Having some tonight to go off without a hitch, Sean.
00:33:12I'm in some hot water.
00:33:13Well, have you considered a gift?
00:33:14To go with dinner?
00:33:15What?
00:33:16I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:17I shouldn't have gone behind your back with the whole interview thing.
00:33:18It was shitty.
00:33:19But you meant well.
00:33:20I tend to try to fix things before they start.
00:33:21But I promise.
00:33:22I won't go behind your back again.
00:33:23Just forget it.
00:33:24Compared to my evil stepmother and her devil spawn.
00:33:25It was kind of sweet.
00:33:26But I promise.
00:33:27I won't go behind your back again.
00:33:28Just forget it.
00:33:29Compared to my evil stepmother and her devil spawn.
00:33:30It was kind of sweet.
00:33:31Well, I hope you're enjoying yourself.
00:33:32I am.
00:33:33I am.
00:33:34I am.
00:33:35Thank you for the date.
00:33:36It's nice to unwind.
00:33:37It's nice to unwind.
00:33:38What?
00:33:39What are you doing?
00:33:40It's just not that bad.
00:33:41It's just a dream.
00:33:42It doesn't happen.
00:33:43I can't do anything that takes time.
00:33:44I am.
00:33:46I mean, I'm just fine.
00:33:47I can't do anything.
00:33:49I don't.
00:33:51You can't do anything.
00:33:53I'm not.
00:33:54You can't do anything.
00:33:56I am.
00:33:57I am.
00:33:58I'm not.
00:33:59I am.
00:34:00And I am.
00:34:01I am.
00:34:02I am.
00:34:03And I am.
00:34:04And you are.
00:34:05And I am.
00:34:06It's funny.
00:34:07Just another I'm sorry gift.
00:34:18Oh my god, it's beautiful.
00:34:22Lucius, I can't accept this.
00:34:24It must have been a fortune.
00:34:25Come on.
00:34:26From husband to wife.
00:34:28Okay, well.
00:34:29I will take good care of it.
00:34:35I thought about moving in.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:37So what do you say?
00:34:39Since I'm so far from work, I'll do it.
00:34:42But only on weekdays.
00:34:44Well, welcome to your new home.
00:34:50You didn't tell me you only had one bed.
00:34:53Husband and wife tend to sleep together in one bed.
00:34:57Besides, it's not like it's the first.
00:34:58Okay, we're not actually married.
00:35:03Sure, of course.
00:35:04You're right.
00:35:06Tell you what.
00:35:06Why don't you take the bedroom, and I'll pull couch.
00:35:10Oh no, that's okay.
00:35:11I can take the couch.
00:35:11Too late.
00:35:15So I have a question.
00:35:17Shoot.
00:35:18Your sister said that you put on this sort of act.
00:35:23Did she?
00:35:24Yeah, that you're not the suave heartbreaker that you'd lead on.
00:35:32What kind of person do you think of you?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:35I think I agree with her.
00:35:40I think you're really thoughtful.
00:35:44In my family, there's little room for fuck-ups.
00:35:48Jamal plays to that just fine.
00:35:50But I don't.
00:35:52So I play into what they assume.
00:35:57That you're a playboy.
00:36:04You've been anything but that to me.
00:36:07I don't think it's a secret in how I feel about you, Alicia.
00:36:10Would you believe me if I told you that I've never felt this way before?
00:36:23Your daughter is ruining everything.
00:36:27The Lyons family isn't even interested in our business propositions.
00:36:30Mr. Lyons is a very busy man.
00:36:34I'm sure he has many other concerns on his mind.
00:36:38She's been bad-mouthing us!
00:36:40That doesn't sound like an issue.
00:36:43That's not in her character.
00:36:45Daddy, she's been away from you for so long.
00:36:47How do you know that?
00:36:49Candy, honey, you're my daughters.
00:36:52My little angels.
00:36:54But she said it herself.
00:36:56She's not family.
00:36:57She doesn't really like us.
00:37:03Looks like she doesn't even want that shabby house after all.
00:37:11What do you want?
00:37:15No, you can't do that!
00:37:24The house stays in my family.
00:37:25Two years of marriage and I get the house.
00:37:27The deal's changed.
00:37:29Why?
00:37:30You thought you could scheme behind my back?
00:37:32You've been sabotaging our relationship with the Lyons family.
00:37:35I never did that.
00:37:37I married you off to foster our family's relationship.
00:37:40You didn't follow through with your deal.
00:37:46The Lyons family business has nothing to do with me, but...
00:37:49I'll talk to Lucius and I'll see what I can do.
00:37:52You should have done that from the start.
00:37:53The house remains on the market, but I'll sell it to you.
00:37:57How am I supposed to get that kind of money?
00:38:00It's not my problem.
00:38:02All right, ma'am.
00:38:02You're late.
00:38:13God, you're so cocky.
00:38:15Not finishing your work, showing up whenever you feel like it.
00:38:19Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:38:20Sorry, I feel dizzy.
00:38:23Don't you pretend to be sick.
00:38:25Alicia?
00:38:27Alicia!
00:38:28I didn't touch her.
00:38:35Stress, low blood sugar, that combination when you're pregnant.
00:38:39What?
00:38:40Pregnant?
00:38:41Then for weeks.
00:38:42Who's the father?
00:38:43I'm a doctor, but I'm not that good of a doctor.
00:39:07Hey.
00:39:09Where am I?
00:39:11You're okay.
00:39:12You're safe.
00:39:17Well, there is something I need to tell you.
00:39:21What?
00:39:24Pregnant.
00:39:27You should talk to Lucius.
00:39:29No, no, no.
00:39:30It is not him to know.
00:39:33Alicia, he's your husband, and he helped you get into this mess.
00:39:38Jamal, there's something I need to tell you.
00:39:45Our marriages.
00:39:47It's not what it looks like.
00:39:50Hi, Mr. Lyon.
00:39:51Is there anything I can do for you?
00:39:53Yeah, where's Alicia?
00:39:54Oh, she's been sent to the hospital.
00:39:55Um, what?
00:39:56What the hell happened?
00:39:58I, I don't know.
00:40:00No.
00:40:01Where is she?
00:40:01Your brother took her.
00:40:03What is it about Alicia that has you all fawning over her?
00:40:05She's my wife!
00:40:06Wait, what?
00:40:10A contract marriage?
00:40:12So, you were forced to marry him, but you've already slept with him.
00:40:16I, I know.
00:40:17It sounds crazy.
00:40:18And you're going to divorce him in two years.
00:40:21But what about, what about the child?
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:23I mean, this wasn't planned.
00:40:25I can't even afford my house.
00:40:26How am I supposed to take care of a child?
00:40:32Hey, uh, don't tell Lucius.
00:40:35I, I want to tell him myself.
00:40:39Okay.
00:40:40Okay.
00:40:42Hey, I'm kind of hungry.
00:40:44Could you give me a snack?
00:40:46Please?
00:40:47Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll be right back.
00:40:49Thanks.
00:40:56Hey, I'll be right back.
00:41:26I promise he'll buy it back when I have enough money.
00:41:44Hey.
00:41:47Alicia?
00:41:49Alicia!
00:41:50Where's, where's Alicia?
00:41:52She was just right here, man.
00:41:54I don't know.
00:41:54She's gone.
00:41:55How could you lose her?
00:41:56You're a husband, man.
00:41:57How do you not know?
00:41:58Tell me what happened.
00:42:02She, she was just feeling lightheaded.
00:42:04That's all.
00:42:04I just, we need to find her.
00:42:25Well, well, well, well.
00:42:36We don't get pretty girls in here often.
00:42:42I kind of lost my way.
00:42:43I kind of lost my way.
00:42:44That bag says all the lies.
00:42:46Name is Lippy.
00:42:47What is that I can do for you, Miss?
00:42:50Brown.
00:42:51Do you mind if I take a look?
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:56Do you want to sell the address, Miss Brown?
00:43:02Oh, my, my.
00:43:07That's quite the necklace.
00:43:09How much do you think I could get for it?
00:43:12I don't know.
00:43:15The necklace is nice.
00:43:17I would normally say $6,000, but I like you.
00:43:23I'll make it seven.
00:43:24The necklace itself is worth double that.
00:43:29Yeah, but it's secondhand and the dress, too.
00:43:33That lowers the value.
00:43:36But I said I like you, and I'm no villain.
00:43:4010K.
00:43:41No.
00:43:42I'm sorry.
00:43:43I know what these are worth.
00:43:45All right, lady.
00:43:46All right.
00:43:48Can't get you the full price for the necklace.
00:43:50But with the dress and you're standing up for yourself.
00:43:54$13,250, that's the best that I can do.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00Good.
00:44:09Your boyfriend gets these things?
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:14Jesus, the poor fool must be in love.
00:44:16Actually, it's my husband.
00:44:20Rick, he does love me.
00:44:24Rick, she does love me.
00:44:38You're fucking with me?
00:44:39I'm sorry.
00:44:40I can't sell these.
00:44:41I'm really sorry for wasting your time.
00:44:43Don't be it.
00:44:44You come here wasting my time?
00:44:45I'm sorry.
00:44:45I'm sorry.
00:44:54One of my men saw Mrs. Brown go into a pawn shop today on the corner of West and Perkins.
00:44:59Limpies?
00:45:00The place is a shithole.
00:45:01Take me there quick.
00:45:02You bagging.
00:45:20Get the fuck out of here.
00:45:21I already told your boss I won't sell to him.
00:45:23You fuck off.
00:45:24We're past the point of negotiating in there, sweetheart.
00:45:26You should stay out of the East End, princess.
00:45:29There's muggers all over.
00:45:30Fuck off the cops.
00:45:32You are way out of your death.
00:45:33Give me that bag.
00:45:34Give me that bag.
00:45:35Help!
00:45:36Help, please!
00:45:37Please!
00:45:40Help!
00:45:47All right.
00:45:50You know who you're fucking with?
00:45:53It's Mr. Limpies and he ain't happy.
00:45:55Best prank you don't catch up with the boys.
00:45:57You better go rise in the back of your head, son.
00:45:59Limpies is going to get where he goes.
00:46:00It's going to be me.
00:46:08I'm sorry.
00:46:09It's fine.
00:46:11You're safe.
00:46:14Let's get you out of here.
00:46:23What are you doing at Limpies store?
00:46:32That guy's no good.
00:46:33I was trying to pawn the stuff you gave me.
00:46:37I'm so sorry.
00:46:38I'm an idiot.
00:46:40You could have told me that you didn't like the gifts.
00:46:43No, no.
00:46:44It wasn't.
00:46:45It wasn't that.
00:46:48I needed the money.
00:46:49And I didn't know what to do.
00:46:53I'm not mad that you tried to sell the gifts.
00:46:57Remember when you got mad at me for always trying to fix things by myself?
00:47:02Why didn't you tell me?
00:47:04I could have given you the money.
00:47:05I didn't want to be a burden.
00:47:09You're worth more than any amount of money to me.
00:47:11Can you stay with me?
00:47:24Can you stay with me?
00:47:36Um, can I just cuddle?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:41You've been through a lot.
00:47:45I stopped doing business with the Brown family.
00:47:49I didn't know Laura was going to take it out on you.
00:47:53I'll handle it.
00:47:55But first, I've got to make sure that Limpies dealt with.
00:48:01What are you going to do?
00:48:03Don't worry about it.
00:48:06But if you ever get in trouble again,
00:48:09tell me.
00:48:09Should I tell you about this?
00:48:23You're too pretty for this job.
00:48:36Why don't you call your butler up there and do this?
00:48:38Okay?
00:48:45You know, I might look real nice.
00:48:47But I can be pretty mean when I need to be Lindby.
00:48:51I actually kind of like it.
00:48:53Now, I did you a favor when I broke your bad leg.
00:48:57Don't make me break you, good one.
00:49:00What the hell do you want?
00:49:04I won't come near your girl.
00:49:06Okay?
00:49:06I don't want to believe you.
00:49:09But do.
00:49:11But I need you to send a message.
00:49:17Tell your rats
00:49:18that if they come near me
00:49:21or my wife again,
00:49:24I'm going to kill them.
00:49:26Then,
00:49:26we're going to kill you.
00:49:29Do you hear me?
00:49:30Yes, Mr. Lyon.
00:49:41Good boy.
00:49:48Mr. Lyon deals on both sides of the law.
00:49:52Be thankful he didn't take your shot,
00:49:54along with your leg.
00:49:55Where to now?
00:50:03Let's go pay the Browns a visit.
00:50:08Alicia,
00:50:09what are you going to do about the pregnancy?
00:50:12I don't really know.
00:50:14Everything's been moving so fast.
00:50:17Well, listen, I care about you.
00:50:20So,
00:50:20are you worried that Lucius
00:50:22isn't going to be around to help?
00:50:25I will.
00:50:27I don't really know what he thinks.
00:50:29We're not really on the best terms right now.
00:50:33Okay.
00:50:38Just let me get one thing straight, then.
00:50:41Were you two
00:50:42going somewhere?
00:50:45Are you two
00:50:46going somewhere?
00:50:47You brewed this yourself?
00:50:58It tastes like shit.
00:51:00What can I do for you?
00:51:03Well, you must be wondering
00:51:04how your worthless stepdaughter
00:51:06entrapped my heart.
00:51:08I don't much care
00:51:10what Alicia does.
00:51:12Honey,
00:51:13please don't talk about
00:51:14my daughter like that.
00:51:15I am puzzled
00:51:18by how you managed
00:51:20to run
00:51:20most of your family's
00:51:21business affairs.
00:51:22Well,
00:51:23my family needed my help.
00:51:24And I'd like to prove
00:51:25my father wrong.
00:51:27What do you want?
00:51:29I'd like to shut up
00:51:29gold diggers like you.
00:51:31What did you say?
00:51:35Okay,
00:51:36let's cut to the chase.
00:51:38What can we do
00:51:39to get our families
00:51:40working together again?
00:51:41Well,
00:51:42I think we're all
00:51:43on the same page here.
00:51:44We agree to do
00:51:45business with your family.
00:51:47And I get to buy
00:51:48Alicia's mother's house
00:51:49from you.
00:51:52And if I say no.
00:51:54Do you really want
00:51:54to leave ten million
00:51:55dollars on the table
00:51:56because of your
00:51:57petty bullshit
00:51:58with my wife?
00:52:04Sean?
00:52:05Now,
00:52:22this is for the house.
00:52:24Alicia owes you nothing.
00:52:25And I'm pretty
00:52:30impatient,
00:52:30so you're never
00:52:31going to get
00:52:32this offer again.
00:52:36Mr. Lyon.
00:52:38Lucius.
00:52:39I'll show you out.
00:52:44Oh,
00:52:44and, uh,
00:52:46please,
00:52:47don't forget
00:52:48to send me
00:52:48the deed of the house.
00:52:51Seems like
00:52:52Alicia has everything
00:52:53she wants now.
00:52:54I won't be humiliated
00:52:56by that little whore.
00:53:04Hi.
00:53:05Everything all right?
00:53:06Yeah.
00:53:07I needed to tell you
00:53:10something.
00:53:11Me too.
00:53:12Oh,
00:53:13you go first.
00:53:16Look what I got.
00:53:21The house is mine?
00:53:24Lucius,
00:53:24how?
00:53:26Your stepmother
00:53:26won't bother you anymore.
00:53:30Oh,
00:53:31oh my God,
00:53:32I,
00:53:32I don't know what to say.
00:53:39I,
00:53:40I know that this
00:53:41sounds crazy,
00:53:42but
00:53:42I'm glad that Laura
00:53:45had us married.
00:53:46I feel so lucky
00:53:48we've got married.
00:53:50I was drowning
00:53:51before I met you.
00:53:52The socialites,
00:53:54parties.
00:53:57You're the first
00:53:58real woman
00:53:58I've ever met.
00:54:00You think way
00:54:01too highly of me.
00:54:04Maybe, uh,
00:54:05we should get divorced.
00:54:10Break up this whole
00:54:10contract marriage
00:54:11and start over?
00:54:12Not before we
00:54:15have a proper
00:54:16first date.
00:54:25Wife to girlfriend?
00:54:27I know.
00:54:27I like it.
00:54:28So,
00:54:29what did you
00:54:31want to tell me?
00:54:31I have a question.
00:54:38Go ahead.
00:54:41Do you see yourself
00:54:42being a father?
00:54:44Having kids?
00:54:47I don't know.
00:54:48I've never really
00:54:48thought about it.
00:54:49I didn't grow up
00:54:50with much of a father
00:54:51and I know that
00:54:52I can really
00:54:52mess a kid up.
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:54No,
00:54:54I'd want you to be
00:54:55secure in yourself
00:54:56before having to
00:54:57look over someone else.
00:54:59But if you wanted
00:55:00to be a mother,
00:55:01I would support you
00:55:03in any way I could.
00:55:05You've already done
00:55:06so much for me
00:55:07in the last few weeks.
00:55:22Well, I guess
00:55:23it's coffee days
00:55:23and to get to know
00:55:24me better.
00:55:27I'm pregnant.
00:55:31I'm pregnant.
00:55:33What?
00:55:35Okay,
00:55:36well,
00:55:36you need to tell
00:55:37Lucius,
00:55:38not me.
00:55:38It's not like
00:55:39I've ever been
00:55:39pregnant before.
00:55:42Yeah.
00:55:44We both come
00:55:44from fucked up
00:55:45families.
00:55:47I'm not sure
00:55:48either of us
00:55:48are really ready yet.
00:55:49I mean,
00:55:50I don't want to
00:55:50emotionally blackmail him.
00:55:53Okay,
00:55:54but it's on him
00:55:55as much as you
00:55:56you could do.
00:55:56Mutual decision.
00:55:58So,
00:55:59I know.
00:56:01You're right.
00:56:02Yes.
00:56:03I'll talk today.
00:56:06Hey, baby bro.
00:56:11Hey.
00:56:12Did Alicia
00:56:13tell you anything?
00:56:16About what?
00:56:18Nothing.
00:56:19Never mind.
00:56:19It's about her house.
00:56:22I've already
00:56:22taken care of that.
00:56:25Sure.
00:56:26Yeah.
00:56:27Probably her
00:56:28right there.
00:56:32What?
00:56:36What is it?
00:56:38Father wants me
00:56:39back home.
00:56:51Your parents' house.
00:56:57Yeah, yeah,
00:56:57of course.
00:56:58I'll be back.
00:57:03Lucius,
00:57:04you need to
00:57:04keep calm about this.
00:57:06Dad,
00:57:06what's so urgent?
00:57:07Where's Alicia?
00:57:08She's on her way.
00:57:11What's this?
00:57:13What do you
00:57:13should watch for yourself?
00:57:21Lucius Lyon
00:57:22broke my land.
00:57:24I'm the owner
00:57:25of a small-forn shop
00:57:27and I refuse
00:57:27to buy his life.
00:57:29Knockout jewelry
00:57:30and he sent his
00:57:31goons
00:57:32to beat me up.
00:57:34She bought her
00:57:34rumors that
00:57:35had Mr. Lyon's
00:57:38shady dealings.
00:57:41My attack
00:57:42confirms that
00:57:43she's a
00:57:44man who's
00:57:44a lot
00:57:45of
00:57:45science.
00:57:47They're
00:57:47grand.
00:57:48That's a little action
00:57:49which I will
00:57:51release.
00:57:52Sure.
00:58:03Thanks for
00:58:03your cooperation.
00:58:05As long as
00:58:05the precolition
00:58:06gets a piece
00:58:07of my mind.
00:58:09This is only
00:58:09the beginning.
00:58:14I told you
00:58:15you need to
00:58:15change your ways.
00:58:16Jamal never
00:58:17gives me any
00:58:18problems.
00:58:19He always does
00:58:20as I tell him.
00:58:21Those thugs
00:58:21were trying
00:58:22to hurt Alicia
00:58:22and I was
00:58:23protecting her.
00:58:24Don't talk
00:58:24back to your
00:58:25father.
00:58:26Don't you
00:58:27even talk
00:58:28about your
00:58:29wife.
00:58:29She's a fraud.
00:58:30Bite your tongue.
00:58:31What if your
00:58:32father's right?
00:58:33Her stepfather
00:58:34has told us
00:58:34about her.
00:58:35Told you
00:58:35what?
00:58:36That they
00:58:37abandoned her
00:58:38when she was
00:58:38a child because
00:58:39of her rotten
00:58:39attitude.
00:58:40It's just
00:58:40Laura lying.
00:58:41She hates me
00:58:42so she forced
00:58:43Alicia to marry
00:58:44me instead
00:58:45of Candace.
00:58:45sweetheart she
00:58:47tricked you.
00:58:48You have no
00:58:49idea what a
00:58:50woman like this
00:58:50is capable of.
00:58:52You just
00:58:52did a divorce.
00:58:53We will not
00:58:54allow a snake
00:58:55in the lion
00:58:55family.
00:59:00We will not
00:59:01allow a snake

00:59:04snake?
00:59:04Sweetheart don't
00:59:05listen to them.
00:59:06It's Laura
00:59:07lying and
00:59:08tricking them
00:59:08again.
00:59:09You're a snake.
00:59:10You're nothing
00:59:11but a
00:59:11manipulative
00:59:12cretin.
00:59:13Shut up

00:59:24use our
00:59:25wealth and our
00:59:25power for
00:59:26yourself.
00:59:26It's enough.

00:59:34house and
00:59:34I'm okay
00:59:35with it.

01:00:03with a
01:00:03low-light
01:00:04petty
01:00:04criminal.

01:00:05understand why
01:00:06you hate
01:00:06your parents.
01:00:07Victor, we're

01:00:23Alicia.
01:00:25Alicia, you'll
01:00:26never have to
01:00:26see them again.
01:00:27I just want to
01:00:27be by myself.

01:00:29you company.

01:00:43okay?
01:00:43Just, please

01:00:51Our plan worked.
01:00:53Alicia's lion is
01:00:54forcing the
01:00:54divorce.
01:00:55Couldn't stand
01:00:56seeing that bitch
01:00:56get away with
01:00:57everything.
01:00:58As long as
01:00:59Alicia's in the
01:00:59picture,
01:01:00Alicia's company
01:01:01will treat us
01:01:02as an enemy.
01:01:03They both
01:01:04needed to be
01:01:04put in their
01:01:05place.
01:01:05We still have
01:01:06one more
01:01:06card to play.
01:01:08I'm so sorry
01:01:08to put you
01:01:09through this,
01:01:09sweetie.
01:01:10Please be
01:01:10careful.
01:01:11You don't have
01:01:12to worry about
01:01:12a single
01:01:13thing.
01:01:31Where is he?
01:01:33Dig up
01:01:42everything you
01:01:43can on
01:01:43Laura's company.
01:01:45And enough
01:01:46of this
01:01:46crackpot.
01:01:50Enjoy.
01:02:03Are you okay?
01:02:23I feel dizzy.
01:02:25Are you Mrs. Lyme?
01:02:33Yes.
01:02:36Your husband's
01:02:37room, Carl.
01:02:39He's had a bit
01:02:39too much to drink.
01:02:42Alicia?
01:02:54What are you doing
01:02:56here?
01:03:01Alicia?
01:03:02What are you doing
01:03:03here?
01:03:04Who the hell are you?
01:03:08Alicia?
01:03:08Where am I?
01:03:10You're asking me
01:03:11that.
01:03:13Alicia, I finally
01:03:14get why you like
01:03:16him so much.
01:03:17Don't listen to her.
01:03:18I don't know what
01:03:19happened.
01:03:20Touch me.
01:03:20Touch me.
01:03:21I'll tell you what
01:03:22happened.
01:03:23Your drunk husband
01:03:24came out to me.
01:03:26He was telling me
01:03:27how much he missed
01:03:28your first night.
01:03:29So he brought me up
01:03:30here to try to
01:03:31recreate it.
01:03:33You see it's
01:03:34in the same room?
01:03:36He was telling me
01:03:38how much he missed
01:03:39your first night.
01:03:40So he brought me up
01:03:41here to try to
01:03:42recreate it.
01:03:44You see it's
01:03:44in the same room?
01:03:45That's not true.
01:03:46I didn't...
01:03:47Just when I thought
01:03:48I found someone
01:03:49that understood me.
01:03:50I didn't cheat.
01:03:52I've been drunk.
01:03:53I can't believe
01:03:53that I was just
01:03:54about to ask you
01:03:54to answer a check.
01:03:56What?
01:03:58Do you want
01:03:58to assume
01:03:59to be a father?
01:04:00and you
01:04:00definitely do not.
01:04:06Alicia, wait!
01:04:11Alicia, wait!
01:04:12I can explain!
01:04:12I don't want to hear it!
01:04:14Please!
01:04:14Is it my child?
01:04:15Now he'll end up
01:04:16fatherless just like you.
01:04:22Alicia, wait!
01:04:23I can explain!
01:04:23I don't want to hear it!
01:04:25Please!
01:04:25Is it my child?
01:04:26Now he'll end up
01:04:27fatherless just like you!
01:04:28Please!
01:04:28When did this happen?
01:04:29Is that really important
01:04:30after what you just did
01:04:31to me?
01:04:31After we left my parents,
01:04:32I went to the bar.
01:04:33I got drugged.
01:04:34Your sister and your
01:04:35stepmother are behind this.
01:04:36Ever since we got married,
01:04:37everything has gone wrong.
01:04:38Work your parents everything!
01:04:39I can fix this!
01:04:40Look, I'm going crazy!
01:04:42I'm tired!
01:04:42Lucius, I can't do this anymore!
01:04:44Please!
01:04:45Just give me a chance!
01:04:46I can solve all this!
01:04:47Lucius!
01:04:49We're done.
01:04:49You're done.
01:04:51You're done.
01:04:52You're done.
01:04:53You're done.
01:04:54You're done.
01:04:55You're done.
01:04:55You're done.
01:04:55You're done.
01:04:56When we release these photos,
01:04:57hellhole Victor,
01:04:58he'll have an aneurysm.
01:04:59What have you done?
01:05:03What have you done?
01:05:07They're through. When we release these photos, he'll hold Victor. He'll have an aneurysm.
01:05:16What have you done?
01:05:18Alicia's my daughter.
01:05:21Laura, how can you be so cruel?
01:05:24If it weren't for you and your little brat, I wouldn't have to go this far.
01:05:28It was Alicia who tricked Lucius into going against us.
01:05:32Just getting even.
01:05:34That's enough.
01:05:36I won't condone this type of behavior any longer.
01:05:41He's all talk.
01:05:43Coward.
01:05:45What? He slept with your sister?
01:05:48Yeah.
01:05:58You're sure?
01:05:59I bet it was Candace that set it up.
01:06:01But I can't just forgive him.
01:06:03I literally can't get what I saw out of my head.
01:06:06So you'll divorce him?
01:06:09The marriage was a mistake anyway.
01:06:11Well, what about the baby?
01:06:17I don't know.
01:06:19You're a coward, Lucius.
01:06:21As a matter of fact, get out of my office, man.
01:06:23You're just a waste of space.
01:06:28You're just gonna let her go?
01:06:30Just like that?
01:06:32No.
01:06:35Then what the hell are you still doing here, man?
01:06:38Listen, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:06:40But we are brothers, and you could have said something to me.
01:06:45Didn't she tell you about this pregnancy days ago?
01:06:47She did.
01:06:50But think of all the shit you put her through, man.
01:06:53Everything.
01:06:54If you were in my shoes, would you say anything?
01:06:59This time, I'm going to fix everything.
01:07:02Boss, I found the waiter that drugged you.
01:07:16You've earned it!
01:07:18If I would do, I would live down.
01:07:21The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:07:24I drugged him.
01:07:25You slandered him publicly.
01:07:28Candace and her mother hate that woman.
01:07:30They would take care of him.
01:07:33I can be sure.
01:07:35His father has banished him.
01:07:37Without this family, this is Lion is nothing.
01:07:45Who said I needed that old man?
01:07:47What are you doing here?
01:07:49Mr. Lion, I've recorded all of our meetings.
01:07:51I have everything right here.
01:07:53You drug anyone ever again, I'll see to it personally that you're serving drinks in hell.
01:08:03You hear me?
01:08:04Yes, sir.
01:08:05Get out.
01:08:14Now, do as I say.
01:08:16Jenna.
01:08:26I quit.
01:08:28What?
01:08:29Why?
01:08:30You're the owner's wife.
01:08:31Yeah, well...
01:08:33We're getting a divorce.
01:08:34Have you thought this through?
01:08:35Yeah.
01:08:36Even without Candace's little stunt.
01:08:38We can't be together.
01:08:40My stepmother will never approve of it, and neither will your father.
01:08:42I thought that Lucius said he was gonna find evidence to prove there's nothing between him and Candace.
01:08:46Yeah, he's said it a million times, but things keep happening.
01:08:47I just...
01:08:48I can't do it anymore, Jamal.
01:08:49What about the child?
01:08:50I'll take care of it myself.
01:08:51Just tell Lucius whatever I owe him.
01:08:52I'll pay him back.
01:08:53I'll see you later.
01:08:54It's good to see you.
01:08:55Find me if you need anything.
01:08:56Sounds good.
01:08:59I'll see you later.
01:09:00It's good to see you.
01:09:01Find me if you need anything.
01:09:02Sounds good.
01:09:04Bye.
01:09:05Bye.
01:09:06Bye.
01:09:07Bye.
01:09:08Bye.

01:10:21Bye.
01:10:22Bye.
01:10:23Bye.
01:10:24Bye.
01:10:25Bye.
01:10:26Bye.
01:10:27Bye.
01:10:28Nor are you a brown.
01:10:32Well, hopefully I won't have to deal with you animals for very much longer.
01:10:38We have got to stop bumping into each other like that.
01:10:41What do you want? Just spit it out.
01:10:43Take a seat, please.
01:10:50What sort of game are you playing, Lucius?
01:10:54Sweetheart, have a seat and watch.
01:10:56Okay. Look, can we just get this over with, please?
01:11:01Everyone's here.
01:11:07If these photos get out, we're doomed.
01:11:11Did you just bring me here to humiliate me all over again?
01:11:15Maybe she should stay.
01:11:17I'd like to hear what the leading lady here has to say.
01:11:24I explained it already.
01:11:26Lucius was drunk and he forced me out to his hotel room.
01:11:31I couldn't fight him.
01:11:34Mr. Lion, we've known for years your son is a playboy.
01:11:38I could sue you all for this.
01:11:40Bravo.
01:11:41Great acting.
01:11:42It's so authentic, don't you think?
01:11:44Lucius, you need to apologize for your lewd, salacious behavior.
01:11:49Mr. Limpy?
01:11:55Limpy?
01:12:00Patiently.
01:12:01Don't call me that.
01:12:02Don't call me that.
01:12:04Candace, Mrs. Brown, you look unwell.
01:12:07Well, they know everything, so no need to play claims.
01:12:09Who are you?
01:12:11I don't know him.
01:12:14You're that paralytic to my son, Vito.
01:12:18Yes, I am.
01:12:19They gave me a lot of money to report Lucius.
01:12:22Liar!
01:12:25Liar!
01:12:26The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:12:34I drugged them.
01:12:38That night, Mr. Lion's drink was spiked.
01:12:41That's already a crime.
01:12:42You can go now.
01:12:49We're even.
01:12:49That's not true.
01:12:56That is enough.
01:12:59I'm cutting off all the ties between the two families.
01:13:01No, we can provide more.
01:13:04Not anymore.
01:13:05I've reported all the illegal activities of your company to the authorities.
01:13:09I'm taking it too far this time, Laura.
01:13:12Mr. Brown, right in the nick of time.
01:13:15What are you doing here, Harry?
01:13:17You're a mean person.
01:13:21I'm divorcing you.
01:13:22You can't get along without me.
01:13:24You're nothing but a limp dick in a sea of snakes.
01:13:31Dad, what are you doing, Vistie?
01:13:34Guards, take Candace and Mrs. Brown away, please.
01:13:39If I've hired a prosecutor, you should hire a lawyer.
01:13:47Now, Father, I'm your daughter.
01:13:51I'll have you, Candy.
01:13:52You can't torment this kind of behavior.
01:13:57Scumbag!
01:13:58Go to hell!
01:14:01Alicia, sweetheart.
01:14:03I've been a fool.
01:14:05I'm so indebted to you.
01:14:07I've been a silly old man.
01:14:11Can you forgive me?
01:14:13You've done enough, Dad.
01:14:16You're going to be fine.
01:14:20Well, I do have a conscience, so I suppose I owe you an apology, Ms. Brown,
01:14:24for all the slanders and misfortunes that you've been troubled with.
01:14:30It's okay.
01:14:31I'm used to it.
01:14:32So this was a show?
01:14:39Brilliant.
01:14:41Is all this not enough, Alicia?
01:14:42Nope, not nearly enough.
01:14:45Is all this not enough, Alicia?
01:14:46Nope, not nearly enough.
01:14:49Then what is it I had to do?
01:14:51You still haven't said you'll raise our child.
01:14:53Wait, she's with child?
01:14:59A lion?
01:15:01This is fantastic.
01:15:02I mean, it was in wedlock.
01:15:04I mean, if only technically.
01:15:07Why is everybody just standing around?
01:15:10Somebody get her a drink!
01:15:12Easy, old man.
01:15:13Your grandchild hasn't been born yet.
01:15:15We'll have a checkup this instant.
01:15:17Yeah.
01:15:17Yeah.
01:15:17Yeah.
01:15:18It doesn't even look like a real person.
01:15:29I guess you're not fit to be a father after all.
01:15:33It's a month old.
01:15:42You know, I really am excited about all this.
01:15:50I just wish you would have told me sooner.
01:16:00I think we should have a real wedding this time.
01:16:09I agree.
