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.
00:04:00You're good.
00:04:01Thanks for trying.
00:04:05You're good.
00:04:06Thanks for trying.
00:04:07You're good.
00:04:08Hey, girl.
00:04:09Bye.
00:04:10Give me some more money.
00:04:11I'll let you go.
00:04:12Bye.
00:04:13Bye.
00:04:14Love you.
00:04:15Bye.
00:04:16J scoffers.
00:04:17Thanks for trying.
00:04:19Better luck next time.
00:04:33I wanted to come over here and personally say thank you, but I'm not interested in meeting anyone tonight.
00:04:39No hard feelings.
00:04:41But, if you still want a free drink, please.
00:04:47I hate rum.
00:05:01If you 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.
00:05:07Fine.
00:05:08But when I see someone sulking by themselves, I try to help.
00:05:12If you want another drink for your troubles, it's on me.
00:05:19You rehearsed that line?
00:05:21I figured in exchange for a drink, you'd get whatever's bothering you off your trust.
00:05:27What's your name?
00:05:28I'm nobody.
00:05:29Besides, you said you're not interested in making any friends.
00:05:30Okay, nobody.
00:05:31If you want to hear about it, I'll take that drink.
00:05:34Wine's gone.
00:05:35Dammit.
00:05:36Marrying someone you don't love.
00:05:37Mmhmm.
00:05:38Well, I'm rooting for you.
00:05:39Hope the guy's decent.
00:05:45What was that for?
00:05:46You're cute and sweet.
00:05:47Well, I won't get to do this again.
00:05:48Well, I won't get to do this again.
00:05:49Oh.
00:05:50Oh.
00:05:51Oh.
00:05:52Oh.
00:05:53Oh.
00:05:54Oh.
00:05:55Oh.
00:05:56Oh.
00:05:57Oh.
00:05:58So I take it you do this a lot?
00:05:59Not really.
00:06:00So consider yourself lucky.
00:06:01I don't think you'd say that if you knew who I am.
00:06:02I don't need your backstory.
00:06:03I'm never going to see you again.

00:06:54Oh.
00:06:55Oh.
00:06:56Oh.
00:06:57No need to sneak out. I'm not hurt you're trying to leave.
00:07:02Last night was a mistake. No, no. Last night was nice. You're nice. It was all nice.
00:07:12Well, I'm convinced. But 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 I'm kind of getting married.
00:07:25Well, I did not see that coming.
00:07:34Well, I hope your soon-to-be husband doesn't find out about all this and, I don't know, shoot me?
00:07:41No, it'll be our little secret, okay? I should go.
00:07:47Sorry.
00:07:55Tell my father I'll agree to the wedding.
00:08:06Alicia Brown.
00:08:09What an interesting woman.
00:08:12Are you ready?
00:08:23I've made a change to our agreement.
00:08:27I 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.
00:08:43You want the house back that bad?
00:08:45Two years at the least.
00:08:47It's my final offer.
00:08:51Deal.
00:08:52Okay, where's the groom?
00:08:53Maybe he realized who he was marrying and backed out.
00:08:58Let's just get this over with.
00:08:59He'd better settle for you or you could kiss that house goodbye.
00:09:01I don't know.
00:09:02I don't know.
00:09:03I don't know.
00:09:04I don't know.
00:09:05I don't know.
00:09:06I don't know.
00:09:07I don't know.
00:09:08I don't know.
00:09:09I don't know.
00:09:10I don't know.
00:09:11I don't know.
00:09:12I don't know who he was marrying and backed out.
00:09:17Let's just get this over with.
00:09:19He'd better settle for you or you could kiss that house goodbye.
00:09:22I heard Lucius was a promiscuous man.
00:09:24I mean, he slept with half the women in this town.
00:09:27He and his father hate each other.
00:09:31Sorry I'm late.
00:09:42Fine 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.
00:10:08Shall we?
00:10:12You're Lucius' line.
00:10:14One and only.
00:10:15Why didn't 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.
00:10:31Sorry father.
00:10:33This isn't over.
00:10:38It'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.
00:10:54I'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.
00:11:13Hi.
00:11:25You get all your one night stands to do your cleaning for you?
00:11:28I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:11:30A maid maybe?
00:11:37I have a few questions.
00:11:39Ask away.
00:11:40Quit it with the Prince Charming routine.
00:11:43It might work on your one night stands, but it's not going to work on me.
00:11:46It worked for you that night.
00:11:50I have a few questions.
00:11:52Ask away.
00:11:54Quit 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.
00:12:00It worked on you that night.
00:12:02I told you I overdid it that night.
00:12:04And now that I'm being forced to marry you, I need to lay down some rules.
00:12:07Very well.
00:12:09It wasn't my choice to marry you either.
00:12:11What do you mean?
00:12:13My father thinks I'm only good for the family business.
00:12:16He 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?
00:12:27Dammit, why didn't you just say something?
00:12:29I guess it's too late now.
00:12:31You said you had some rules?
00:12:34Rule number one.
00:12:36You 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. I wouldn't want you meddling in my business.
00:12:44Okay, great. Rule number two.
00:12:46Now hang on.
00:12:48Even if it's strictly business, this is a relationship.
00:12:50A relationship is a two-way street.
00:12:52You want rules? Then so do I.
00:12:55Fair is fair. What are your rules?
00:12:59When the time comes, I need you to act like my wife.
00:13:03For appearances.
00:13:05Wow. Didn't strike me as someone who cared what people thought.
00:13:09Well, I have family duties the same as you.
00:13:13Rule number two. I'm not going to move in with you.
00:13:17Why?
00:13:18I don't feel comfortable living in someone else's home.
00:13:23Then I want a date.
00:13:25You're being serious?
00:13:27You're pleasant enough.
00:13:29Besides, I should know who I'm married to.
00:13:32Alright, consider it done.
00:13:34Rule number three.
00:13:36I want a divorce.
00:13:38In two years.
00:13:41My 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.
00:13:56But, if you need anything, you've got it.
00:14:00Thanks.
00:14:01Thanks.
00:14:24Hi, Alicia Brown.
00:14:26Yeah, that's me.
00:14:28You don't recognize me?
00:14:30No, I don't think so.
00:14:32Jenna. Jenna Davis.
00:14:34We went to high school together.
00:14:36Jenna, oh my god, it's been years.
00:14:38Yeah.
00:14:39Since when do you work at Vision Tech?
00:14:40Oh my god, out of school.
00:14:42What have you been up to?
00:14:44Grad school. I just graduated.
00:14:46Well, luckily, I got a job right off the bat.
00:14:48And now I'm a director.
00:14:50Congratulations.
00:14:51Thanks.
00:14:53Now, I won't go easy on you just because we were classmates.
00:14:55No, no, I wouldn't expect you to.
00:14:58I like a challenge.
00:15:03Prior work experience.
00:15:06I see you have won an internship.
00:15:10Yeah, from grad school.
00:15:12I was in product development.
00:15:14I saw that.
00:15:16Our department has pretty strict screening standards.
00:15:20You need two years experience for an interview.
00:15:24How did her resume land on my desk?
00:15:27Sorry, Sean is the executive director's assistant.
00:15:31I have to run this by him.
00:15:33The boss hoped you'd consider it.
00:15:35Do you know one of the bosses here?
00:15:37No, I don't.
00:15:39Sean, I thought I had control over this project.
00:15:41The boss personally scanned her resume.
00:15:48The boss personally scanned her resume.
00:15:50Okay, but if he already made the decision, then why waste my time with an interview?
00:15:54Are you questioning his judgment?
00:15:56Um, excuse me?
00:15:58What are you guys talking about?
00:16:00I guess you don't need to worry about it.
00:16:02Did your stepmother organize this for you?
00:16:04She certainly could have.
00:16:05No, you're the one that set up the interview.
00:16:06All right.
00:16:07Well, it looks like you got the job.
00:16:09Congrats.
00:16:10I'm going to send you the details and the offer to your email.
00:16:15What kind of interview is this?
00:16:23Don't worry, madam.
00:16:25Everything's under the boss's control.
00:16:26硬
00:16:30Director
00:16:33Alex Sinclair
00:16:35Alicia, I don't often run into such pretty women around here.
00:16:38I don't usually run into creeps around here.
00:16:39How'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?
00:16:50Someone must've put in a good word for me, cous
00:16:52I think I got the job.
00:16:53That's great, that's all cause to celebrate.
00:16:54That's great.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:54It's all cause to celebrate.
00:16:56How about a drink later?
00:16:57Oh, 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, beautiful wife.
00:17:11Fine.
00:17:12But first, we have to get you a dress.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:16We 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?
00:17:24How about this one?
00:17:41Okay, how about this one?
00:17:45Well, 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.
00:17:55Spellbound?
00:17:55Mm-hmm.
00:17:57Slightly intrigued, at most?
00:17:59Whatever.
00:18:04Like 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.
00:18:10Hmm.
00:18:11Well, if you don't intend on buying the dress, I'm going to need you to take it off.
00:18:14What 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.
00:18:26But 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.
00:18:50Sir, 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.
00:19:00For you, darling, anything.
00:19:02Miss, we'll take this.
00:19:03Oh, I'd be happy to help.
00:19:06However, I'm going to need you to apologize to my wife first for the rude mistake you just made.
00:19:14Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:16I 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.
00:19:28Hey, Lucius.
00:19:33Hey.
00:19:34Lewis, sweetheart.
00:19:35It's been ages since I got to see you.
00:19:37I'll call you.
00:19:38I take it you know all the women here?
00:19:40Most.
00:19:41Hmm, just like Hugh Huffner.
00:19:52Hi.
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.
00:20:08She'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 loose hearts then.
00:20:16Alicia, please.
00:20:18Just make yourself at home.
00:20:19Well, I'm really starting to lose my patience.
00:20:22I think we should get out of here before I say something that I'll regret.
00:20:27Such a wonderful couple.
00:20:36Happy family.
00:20:37You have been gone for ages.
00:20:42You forget about me the minute you're married off.
00:20:47You have been gone for ages.
00:20:49You forget about me the minute you're married off.
00:20:50Of course not.
00:20:51How 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?
00:20:58Or can you not keep it in your pants?
00:20:59Oh, it's nice to meet you, too.
00:21:02Kiki's been my best friend since we were children.
00:21:05Don't be jealous.
00:21:05Jealous?
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 is 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.
00:21:27He's funny and kind, too.
00:21:29Consider yourself lucky to have him even if only for appearances.
00:21:32Brother?
00:21:33Yeah, my biological brother.
00:21:35I'm sorry, I didn't know he had a sister.
00:21:39It's all right, we like to mess with the newcomers.
00:21:42Welcome to the family, Slice.
00:21:43I guess smartass runs in the family.
00:21:46I like you.
00:21:47Mocius 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.
00:21:59If you want to understand, just take it easy on him, okay?
00:22:05So, Alicia, it's been a while.
00:22:09Yes.
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.
00:22:26It's cold.
00:22:31Alicia, wait.
00:22:33Wear my coat.
00:22:35It's cold.
00:22:36Why 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.
00:22:48Because...
00:22:48Because?
00:22:50Is it because you're jealous?
00:22:53In your dreams.
00:22:55Just forget about it.
00:22:57Let me take you home.
00:22:59Please?
00:23:03Fine.
00:23:03I'm a button you coat.
00:23:07It's cold.
00:23:14Thanks for the ride.
00:23:16I'm sorry I got so mad.
00:23:20You're my wife.
00:23:21You have every right to be mad.
00:23:25Can 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?
00:23:31And FYI, 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?
00:23:42I haven't eaten anything all day.
00:23:45Please?
00:23:48Pizza rolls.
00:23:49That's all I have.
00:23:50Shut up.
00:23:50Shut up.
00:23:51Eat.
00:23:51Eat.
00:23:51And leave.
00:23:52You never cease to amaze me.
00:23:53What?
00:23:55I thought you were like other socialites.
00:24:08But here you are.
00:24:09A working girl eating pizza rolls.
00:24:11Yeah, well neither are exactly a choice, Lucius.
00:24:14No, I guess not.
00:24:19Why don't you live with your father and mother?
00:24:23Laura's not my mother. I don't really have a family. I've been alone since I was 18.
00:24:28I'm sorry, I 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.
00:24:45She 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.
00:25:00This? This is it? This house?
00:25:02You married me for a house?
00:25:05Yeah, it was my mom's house.
00:25:08You know, all my memories, all the good ones, they're here.
00:25:15I know it's small and it's old.
00:25:21But I love everything about it.
00:25:25The color.
00:25:27The texture.
00:25:31I even like the smell.
00:25:32The smell?
00:25:33Yeah, it smells like my mom.
00:25:38Can't you file a lawsuit? This is your mother's legacy.
00:25:41The deed's in my dad's name.
00:25:44He's such a weak-willed coward.
00:25:46Laura walks all over him.
00:25:49So I honor our agreement for two years.
00:25:52And I get the house.
00:25:56I'm sorry.
00:26:06What if I don't want this to end?
00:26:15Hi.
00:26:16I should go to bed.
00:26:19Enjoy the pizza rolls.
00:26:21Good night.
00:26:22Alicia, I know you love this place, but 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, you can move in with me.
00:26:39I'll think about it.
00:26:52Wear my coat.
00:26:54It's cold.
00:27:15See that new bee?
00:27:17I heard someone pulled the strings for her.
00:27:20She's pretty.
00:27:21I don't know why she'd have to laugh.
00:27:23I can think of a few things.
00:27:32There's bound to be gossip.
00:27:36I'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.
00:27:48Yeah, whatever.
00:27:50Think of it as a little office hazing.
00:27:55Now, our new CEO is having a meeting at 11.
00:27:57I need you to record the minutes.
00:28:01Got it.
00:28:03Hello, everyone.
00:28:04Department heads, project leads.
00:28:06I am Jamal Lyon, your new CEO.
00:28:09Jamal?
00:28:13Jamal?
00:28:14What's the matter with you?
00:28:16So, to get things started off, I would like reports from the department heads.
00:28:32Is Jamal the one you slept with?
00:28:34No.
00:28:36Alicia Brown?
00:28:37I did not expect to see you here.
00:28:39Hi, Mr. Lyon.
00:28:40I'm Jenna, Alicia's supervisor.
00:28:42Hi, Jenna.
00:28:43Do you mind?
00:28:44I'd like to have a private conversation with Alicia.
00:28:48Sure.
00:28:53You want to have a quick chat over coffee?
00:28:56I still have a lot of work I have to do.
00:28:57Just take a second.
00:28:58Come on.
00:28:59Just check out my office.
00:29:02I never thought I'd work for you.
00:29:07Well, you know, boss, employee, they're just meaningless titles, right?
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:15By the way, I've been meaning to catch up with you.
00:29:18You didn't.
00:29:20Alicia, I don't like the way that we left things in school.
00:29:25We were on different tracks.
00:29:27I mean, you were so busy, I barely saw you.
00:29:29I still think about you.
00:29:32A lot.
00:29:34So I take it you graduated then?
00:29:37That took a little longer than you, but yes.
00:29:40Congrats.
00:29:42So I was wondering if maybe you would, um, want to go out and get a drink with me sometime.
00:29:50Family?
00:29:51Family business.
00:29:53My, my, do you know, do you know Lucius?
00:29:57Hey, bro.
00:29:58Lucius.
00:29:59What are you doing here?
00:30:00What are you doing here?
00:30:02You know, I thought you would come see me when you came back in town, but it looks like you, uh, decided to see your sister-in-law instead.
00:30:09I hate sister-in-law.
00:30:10Yeah, uh, I didn't mention it, but I'm, I'm married.
00:30:13You married him?
00:30:15Yeah, uh, I didn't mention it, but I'm, I'm married.
00:30:19You married him?
00:30:21But, uh, Alicia, he's...
00:30:22Hey, let's not forget who's been running the family business since you've been off playing schoolboy.
00:30:25Oh, is that what you call it?
00:30:26Is that why I was called in to save the family business?
00:30:29Because you've been doing such a great job?
00:30:30Oh, is that right?
00:30:31Solitaire helps with productivity, does it?
00:30:33Well, I'm on the board of directors, remember that?
00:30:36So, I have every right to fire you right now.
00:30:39No, Lucius, you just have half a mile.
00:30:40Guys, stop.
00:30:42Brothers?
00:30:43No.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:46Yes, technically, but I wish we weren't.
00:30:48So, you're the boss here?
00:30:50One of them?
00:30:52So, is that how I got the interview?
00:30:55You know, no, no, of course it is.
00:30:57What happened to staying out of each other's business?
00:31:00You just shut up, okay?
00:31:03You know what your little stunt did?
00:31:05It made everyone here think that I'm sleeping my way to the top.
00:31:08I'm sorry.
00:31:09You know, you're no better.
00:31:10You might as well just told everybody that we fucked.
00:31:13Did you?
00:31:14Not since grad school.
00:31:15What?!
00:31:16Look, I'll tell her to take care of me.
00:31:19Both of you just do whatever the fuck you want without any consideration of how it affects other people.
00:31:24So, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to work before Jenna fires me.
00:31:28I don't know what happened between you and her, but leave her alone.
00:31:40You 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?
00:31:50Maybe.
00:31:51Yeah, sounds about right.
00:31:57Hey, how are you?
00:31:59What's going along with you?
00:32:01It's going really good.
00:32:02Yeah?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:04You're gonna accomplish?
00:32:05Mm-hmm.
00:32:06Yeah.
00:32:07Hey.
00:32:08Hi.
00:32:09I got some coffees.
00:32:10You wanna have a little one in my office?
00:32:11Yeah.
00:32:12Yeah.
00:32:13I'm not trying to make it hard on you, but your meetings have put you way behind schedule.
00:32:14I know.
00:32:15I need you to get back on schedule by the end of the day.
00:32:31Okay, cut off by the end of the day.
00:32:33Hey.
00:32:40Hey.
00:32:41I was just about to call you to my office.
00:32:42I meant you wanted to stop.
00:32:43It's making the rumors worse.
00:32:45Okay, I'll tell you what.
00:32:47I'll work from home, but.
00:32:49But what?
00:32:50But, we never had that date.
00:32:52Huh?
00:32:54One of our rules, I wanted a date.
00:32:59Fine, but if you guys don't stop
00:33:01to tell your daddy about your workplace practices.
00:33:04I'm in some tonight to go off without a hitch, Sean.
00:33:11I'm in some hot water.
00:33:13Well, have you considered a gift to go with dinner?
00:33:18What?
00:33:19I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:22I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:25I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:28I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:31I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:33I shouldn't have gone behind your back
00:33:36with the whole interview thing.
00:33:38It was shitty.
00:33:40But you meant well.
00:33:41I tend to try to fix things before they start.
00:33:44But I promise, I won't go behind your back again.
00:33:47Just forget it.
00:33:49Compared to my evil stepmother and her devil spawn.
00:33:53It was kind of sweet.
00:33:55Well, I hope you're enjoying yourself.
00:33:58I am.
00:33:59Thank you for the date.
00:34:00It's nice to unwind.
00:34:02I just don't mind.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:07Just another I'm sorry gift.
00:34:09Oh my god, it's beautiful.
00:34:11Lucius, I can't accept this.
00:34:12It must have been a fortune.
00:34:13Come on.
00:34:14From husband to wife.
00:34:15Okay, well.
00:34:16I will take good care of it.
00:34:17I thought about moving in.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:19So what do you say?
00:34:20Since I'm so far from work, I'll do it.
00:34:21But only on weekdays.
00:34:22Well, welcome to your new home.
00:34:29You didn't tell me you only had one bed.
00:34:30You didn't tell me you only had one bed.
00:34:31Husband and wife tend to sleep together in one bed.
00:34:32Besides, it's not like it's the first.
00:34:33Okay.
00:34:34We're not actually married.
00:34:35Sure.
00:34:36Of course.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:38You're right.
00:34:39Tell you what.
00:34:40Why don't you take good care of it?
00:34:41Why don't you take care of it?
00:34:42At the end.
00:34:43Right?
00:34:44Yep.
00:34:45I'm like, that's what I'm talking about.
00:34:46I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:34:47I'm sorry.
00:34:48You're right.
00:34:49This.
00:34:50Okay.
00:34:51You're right, I'm going to get married.
00:34:52Husband and wife tend to sleep together in one bed.
00:34:56Besides, it's not like it's the first.
00:34:58Okay, we're not actually married.
00:35:02Sure, of course. Yeah, you're right.
00:35:05I'll tell you what.
00:35:07Why don't you take the bedroom and I'll pull couch...
00:35:10Oh no, that's okay. I can take the couch.
00:35:11Too late.
00:35:14So I have a question.
00:35:16Shoot.
00:35:17Your 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 lead on.
00:35:32What kind of person do you think of you?
00:35:34I don't know. I...
00:35:39I think I agree with her.
00:35:41I think you're really thoughtful.
00:35:45In my family, there's little room for fuck-ups.
00:35:48Jamal plays to that just fine.
00:35:51But I don't.
00:35:53So I play into what they assume.
00:35:56That you're a playboy.
00:36:03You'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!
00:36:26The 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.
00:36:37She's been bad-mouthing us!
00:36:40That doesn't sound like Alicia.
00:36:43That's not in her character.
00:36:44Daddy, 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.
00:36:59She doesn't even like us.
00:37:00Looks 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!
00:37:16The house stays in my family.
00:37:21Two years of marriage and I get the house.
00:37:23The deal's changed.
00:37:24Why?
00:37:26You thought you could scheme behind my back?
00:37:28You've been sabotaging our relationship with the Lyons family.
00:37:31I never did that.
00:37:33I married you off to foster our family's relationship.
00:37:36You didn't follow through with your deal.
00:37:37The Lyons family business has nothing to do with me, but I'll talk to Lucius and I'll see what I can do.
00:37:51You should have done that from the start.
00:37:53The house remains on the market, but I'll sell it to you.
00:37:56How am I supposed to get that kind of money?
00:37:59It's not my problem.
00:38:01All right, ma'am.
00:38:08You're late.
00:38:13God, you're so cocky.
00:38:15Not finishing your work, showing up whenever you feel like it.
00:38:18Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:38:20Sorry.
00:38:22I feel dizzy.
00:38:23Don't you pretend to be sick.
00:38:25Alicia?
00:38:27Alicia!
00:38:29I didn't touch her.
00:38:30Stress, low blood sugar, that combination when you're pregnant.
00:38:39What? Pregnant?
00:38:41Then for weeks.
00:38:42Who's the father?
00:38:44I'm a doctor, but I'm not that good of a doctor.
00:39:00Hey.
00:39:02Where am I?
00:39:03You're okay.
00:39:04You're safe.
00:39:06Well, there is something I need to tell you.
00:39:08What?
00:39:10Pregnant.
00:39:12You should talk to Lucius.
00:39:14No, no, no, no, he does not need to know.
00:39:31Alicia, he's your husband.
00:39:34And he helped you get into this mess.
00:39:37Jamal, there's something I need to tell you.
00:39:39Jamal, there's something I need to tell you.
00:39:43Our marriages.
00:39:46That's not what it looks like.
00:39:49Hi, Mr. Lyon. Is there anything I can do for you?
00:39:52Yeah, where's Alicia?
00:39:53Oh, she's been sent to the hospital.
00:39:55What? What the hell happened?
00:39:57I don't know.
00:39:59Where 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!
00:40:09Wait, what? A contract marriage?
00:40:11So you were forced to marry him, but you've already slept with him.
00:40:16I know. It sounds crazy.
00:40:18And you're gonna divorce him in two years.
00:40:20But what about the child?
00:40:22I don't know. I mean, this wasn't planned.
00:40:24I can't even afford my house. How am I supposed to take care of a child?
00:40:32Hey, don't tell Lucius.
00:40:35I want to tell him myself.
00:40:38Okay.
00:40:39Okay.
00:40:40Okay.
00:40:41Hey, I'm kinda hungry.
00:40:43Could you give me a snack?
00:40:45Please?
00:40:46Yeah, I'll be right back.
00:40:48Thanks.
00:40:49Thanks.
00:40:50I don't know.
00:40:51Thanks.
00:40:52I can't tell you.
00:40:54I don't know.
00:41:24I promise I'll buy it back when I have enough money.
00:41:43Hey!
00:41:46Alicia?
00:41:48Alicia!
00:41:50Where's Alicia?
00:41:51She was just right here, man. I don't know. She's gone.
00:41:54How could you lose her?
00:41:55You're a husband, man. How do you not know?
00:41:58Tell me what happened.
00:42:01She was just feeling lightheaded, that's all. I just...
00:42:05We need to find her.
00:42:21Well, well, well.
00:42:39We don't get pretty girls in here often.
00:42:42I kinda lost my way.
00:42:44That bag says all the lies. Name is Lippy. What is that I can do for you, Miss...
00:42:49Brown.
00:42:54Do you mind if I take a look?
00:42:56Yeah.
00:43:00Do you wanna sell the address, Miss Brown?
00:43:05Oh, my, my. That's quite the necklace.
00:43:10How much do you think I could get for it?
00:43:12I don't know. The necklace is nice.
00:43:17I would normally say $6,000, but...
00:43:22I like you.
00:43:23I'll make it seven.
00:43:27The necklace itself is worth double that.
00:43:29Yeah, but it's second hand and the dress, too.
00:43:32That lowers the value.
00:43:35But I said I like you.
00:43:37And I'm no villain.
00:43:3910k.
00:43:41No. I'm sorry. I know what these are worth.
00:43:44All right, lady. All right.
00:43:47Can get you the full price for the necklace.
00:43:50But with the dress, and you standing up for yourself...
00:43:5413,250. That's the best that I can do.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58Good.
00:44:00Your boyfriend get these things?
00:44:01Yeah.
00:44:03Jesus, the poor fool must be in love.
00:44:05Actually, it's...it's my husband.
00:44:07Right. He...he does love me.
00:44:09Oh, my God.
00:44:11Oh, my God.
00:44:13Oh, my God.
00:44:15Oh, my God.
00:44:17Oh, my God.
00:44:19Oh, my God.
00:44:21Oh, my God.
00:44:23Oh, my God.
00:44:25Oh, my God.
00:44:26Oh, my God.
00:44:28Great. She... she does love me.
00:44:36You fucking with me?
00:44:38I'm, I'm sorry, I can't sell these.
00:44:40I'm really sorry for wasting your time.
00:44:42some peace. You come here wasting my time?
00:44:43I'm sorry.
00:44:55One of my men saw, mrs. Brown, go into a pawn shop today.
00:44:56to a pawn shop today on the corner of Weston Perkins.
00:44:59Limpies?
00:45:00The place is a shithole.
00:45:01Take me there quick.
00:45:19Get back and get the fuck out of here.
00:45:21He told your boss I won't sell to him.
00:45:23You fuck off.
00:45:24We're past the point of negotiating 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're way out of your death.
00:45:33Let go of me!
00:45:34Give me the bag!
00:45:35Help!
00:45:36Oh, please!
00:45:37Please!
00:45:41Help!
00:45:47All right.
00:45:50You know who you're fucking with?
00:45:53It's Mr. Limpies and he ain't him!
00:45:55You best pray we don't catch one of the boys.
00:45:57You better go rise in the back of your head, son.
00:45:59Look, he's gonna get where he goes!
00:46:00He's gonna get your ass.
00:46:01It's gonna be me.
00:46:08I'm sorry.
00:46:09No.
00:46:09It's fine.
00:46:11You're safe.
00:46:13No.
00:46:14Let's get your money.
00:46:15Okay.
00:46:15Let's get your money.
00:46:17Let's get your money.
00:46:19What 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.
00:46:46I needed the money.
00:46:50And 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 person.
00:47:08You're worth more than any amount of money to me.
00:47:11Can you stay with me?
00:47:36Um.
00:47:38Can 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.
00:48:53I did you know I did you a favor when I broke your bad leg.
00:48:59Don't make me break you good one.
00:49:01What the hell do you want?
00:49:04I won't come near your girl.
00:49:06Okay?
00:49:06I want to believe you.
00:49:09But do.
00:49:11But I need you to send a message.
00:49:15I need you.
00:49:17Tell your rats
00:49:18that if they come near me
00:49:21or my wife again,
00:49:23I'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,
00:49:33Mr. Lion.
00:49:41Good boy.
00:49:48Mr. Lion deals on both sides of the law.
00:49:52Be thankful he didn't take your shot
00:49:54along with your leg.
00:49:55Son of a...
00:49:59Where 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.
00:50:18Well, listen,
00:50:18I care about you.
00:50:20So,
00:50:21are 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.
00:50:41Are you two
00:50:42going somewhere?
00:50:55You brewed this yourself?
00:50:58It tastes like shit.
00:51:00What can I do for you?
00:51:03Well,
00:51:03you must be wondering
00:51:04how your worthless stepdaughter
00:51:06entrapped my heart.
00:51:08I don't much care what Alicia does.
00:51:12Honey,
00:51:13please don't talk about
00:51:14my daughter like that.
00:51:15I am puzzled by how you managed
00:51:20to run most 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 my father wrong.
00:51:27What do you want?
00:51:29I'd like to shut up gold diggers like you.
00:51:31What did you say?
00:51:35Okay,
00:51:36let's cut to the chase.
00:51:37What can we do
00:51:39to get our families
00:51:40working together again?
00:51:42Well,
00:51:42I think we're all
00:51:43on the same page here.
00:51:45We agree to do business
00:51:46with your family.
00:51:47And I get to buy
00:51:48Alicia's mother's house from you.
00:51:52And if I say no?
00:51:54Do you really want to leave
00:51:54$10 million on the table
00:51:56because of your petty bullshit
00:51:58with my wife?
00:52:04Sean?
00:52:07Now,
00:52:22this is for the house.
00:52:24Alicia owes you nothing.
00:52:27And
00:52:28I'm pretty impatient.
00:52:30So,
00:52:31you're never going to get
00:52:32this offer again.
00:52:33Mr. Lyon.
00:52:38Lucius.
00:52:39I'll show you out.
00:52:44Oh,
00:52:44and,
00:52:45uh,
00:52:46please,
00:52:47don't forget to send me
00:52:48the deed of the house.
00:52:52Seems like Alicia
00:52:52has everything she wants now.
00:52:55I won't be humiliated
00:52:56by that little horror.
00:52:57Hi.
00:53:05Everything all right?
00:53:06Yeah.
00:53:07I,
00:53:07I needed to tell you something.
00:53:11Me too.
00:53:12Oh,
00:53:13you go first.
00:53:16Look what I got.
00:53:17I got there.
00:53:21The house is mine?
00:53:22Lucius,
00:53:24how?
00:53:25Your 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 sounds crazy,
00:53:42but
00:53:42I'm glad that Laura
00:53:45had us married.
00:53:47I feel so lucky
00:53:48we've got married.
00:53:50I was drowning
00:53:51before I met you.
00:53:52The
00:53:53socialites,
00:53:54parties.
00:53:57You're the first real woman
00:53:58I've ever met.
00:54:00You think way too highly of me.
00:54:04Maybe,
00:54:05uh,
00:54:05we should get divorced.
00:54:10Break up this whole contract marriage
00:54:11and start over?
00:54:12Not before we have
00:54:15a proper first date.
00:54:25Wiped a girlfriend?
00:54:27I know.
00:54:27I like it.
00:54:28So,
00:54:29what did you want to tell me?
00:54:35I,
00:54:36I have a question.
00:54:38Go ahead.
00:54:39Do you see yourself
00:54:42being a father?
00:54:44Having kids?
00:54:47I don't know.
00:54:48I've never really thought about it.
00:54:49I didn't grow up with much of a father
00:54:51and I know that I can really
00:54:52mess a kid up.
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:54No,
00:54:54I'd,
00:54:54I'd want you to be secure in yourself
00:54:56before having to look over someone else.
00:54:59But if you wanted to be a mother,
00:55:01I would support you in any way I could.
00:55:05You've already done so much for me
00:55:07in the last few weeks.
00:55:22Well,
00:55:23I guess it's coffee days
00:55:23and to get to know me better.
00:55:30I'm pregnant.
00:55:33What?
00:55:33Yeah.
00:55:35Okay,
00:55:36well,
00:55:36you need to tell Lucius
00:55:38not me
00:55:38the song I've ever been pregnant before.
00:55:44We both come from fucked up families.
00:55:47I'm not sure either of us
00:55:48are really ready yet.
00:55:49I mean,
00:55:50I don't want to emotionally blackmail him.
00:55:53Okay,
00:55:54but it's on him
00:55:55as much as you
00:55:56you can do
00:55:56a mutual decision.
00:55:58So,
00:55:59I know.
00:55:59You're right.
00:56:02He's on top today.
00:56:06Hey,
00:56:06baby bro.
00:56:11Hey.
00:56:12Did Alicia
00:56:13tell you
00:56:14anything?
00:56:16About what?
00:56:18Nothing.
00:56:19Never mind.
00:56:19It's, um,
00:56:20it's about her house.
00:56:22Well,
00:56:22I've already taken care of that.
00:56:25Sure.
00:56:26Yeah.
00:56:27Probably her right there.
00:56:28What?
00:56:36What is it?
00:56:38Father wants me back home.
00:56:54What?
00:56:56Your parents' house.
00:56:57Yeah, yeah,
00:56:57of course.
00:56:58I'll be back.
00:57:03Lucius,
00:57:04you need to keep 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?
00:57:14not someone?
00:57:15What is this?
00:57:16Who should know?
00:57:18What's this?
00:57:22Lucius Lion broke my leg.
00:57:24I'm the owner of a small farm shop and I refuse to buy his life.
00:57:29It's not a jewelry.
00:57:30and he sent his goons to beat me up.
00:57:33She thought her rumors that
00:57:36had Mr. Lion's shady dealings.
00:57:40And my attack confirmed that
00:57:43she's a casual option in science.
00:57:46Damn, crap.
00:57:48That's a little action, which I will release.
00:57:51Sure.
00:58:00Thanks for your cooperation.
00:58:05As long as their precolutions get a piece of my mind.
00:58:08This is only the beginning.
00:58:14I told you you need to change your ways.
00:58:16Jamal never gives me any problems.
00:58:19He always does as I tell him.
00:58:21Those thugs were trying to hurt Alicia,
00:58:23and I was protecting her.
00:58:24Don't talk back to your father.
00:58:26Don't you even talk about your wife.
00:58:29She's a fraud.
00:58:30Bite your tongue.
00:58:31What if your father's right?
00:58:33Her stepfather has told us about her.
00:58:35Told you what?
00:58:36That they abandoned her when she was a child
00:58:38because of her rotten attitude.
00:58:40That's just Laura lying.
00:58:41She hates me,
00:58:42so she forced Alicia to marry me
00:58:44instead of Candace.
00:58:46Sweetheart, she tricked you.
00:58:48You have no idea what a woman like this is capable of.
00:58:51You just get a divorce.
00:58:53We will not allow a snake in the Lion family.
00:58:59What are you talking about, snake?
00:59:00Sweetheart, don't listen to them.
00:59:01It's Laura lying and tricking them again.
00:59:02You're a snake.
00:59:03You're nothing but a manipulative creep.
00:59:04Shut up, Victor.
00:59:05I won't tolerate you disrespecting my wife like this.
00:59:06No, Lucius, stop.
00:59:07I want to hear what they have to say.
00:59:08You married Lucius just to save your house.
00:59:09You will not use our wealth and our power for yourself.
00:59:12It's enough.
00:59:13Stop this bullshit right now.
00:59:14You tricked my son for money.
00:59:15I will not stand for that.
00:59:16She was trying to save her house and I'm okay with it.
00:59:18You guys have brought shame to the family.
00:59:21I've worked my entire life to build this reputation,
00:59:23and it's all of a sudden it's going to be like a woman.
00:59:24I've worked my entire life to build this reputation,
00:59:26and it's going to be a woman.
00:59:27It's going to be a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man.
00:59:29You tricked my son for money. I will not stand for that.
00:59:32She was trying to save her house and I'm okay with it.
00:59:35You guys have brought shame to the family.
00:59:38I've worked my entire life to build this reputation and it will not be tarnished by a...
00:59:44by a strumpet.
00:59:48I've worked my entire life to build this reputation and it will not be tarnished by a...
00:59:53brazen strumpet.
00:59:55Yep, it's Laura again.
00:59:57You must get a divorce.
00:59:58Or Laura will divulge all of Lucius' secrets about being with a low-light petty criminal.
01:00:05Now I understand why you hate your parents.
01:00:07Victor, we're done and I'll be goddamned if I divorce her!
01:00:11I will take away all of your privileges, all of your rights, all of your funds, everything!
01:00:17You'll be penniless.
01:00:18Be my guest!
01:00:23Alicia!
01:00:24Alicia, you'll never have to see them again!
01:00:26I just want to be by myself.
01:00:28Let me keep you company.
01:00:29He'll take away everything that you have and my stepmother just wants to see me suffer,
01:00:32so I don't...
01:00:33He holds no power over me and he can threaten me all he wants.
01:00:36I mean, just...
01:00:38Please.
01:00:39I'm gonna take care of your stepmother.
01:00:40I just...
01:00:41I need...
01:00:42I need a minute to calm down, okay?
01:00:43Just...
01:00:44Please leave me alone.
01:00:45I need a minute to calm down, okay?
01:00:50I need a minute to calm down, okay?
01:00:52Lucius Lyon is forcing the divorce.
01:00:54I couldn't stand seeing that bitch get away with everything.
01:00:57As long as Alicia's in the picture,
01:00:59Lucius' company will treat us as an enemy.
01:01:02They both needed to be put in their place.
01:01:05We still have one more card to play.
01:01:07I'm so sorry to put you through this, sweetie.
01:01:09Please be careful.
01:01:11You don't have to worry about a single one thing.
01:01:22Where is he?
01:01:41Dig up everything you can on Laura's company.
01:01:44You've been enough of this crackpot.
01:01:49Which one?
01:01:52Are you okay?
01:02:20Are you okay?
01:02:22I feel dizzy.
01:02:31Are you Mrs. Lyon?
01:02:32Yes.
01:02:35Your husband's a room card.
01:02:38He's had a bit too much to drink.
01:02:42Alicia?
01:02:43What are you doing here?
01:02:55Alicia?
01:02:56What are you doing here?
01:03:01Alicia?
01:03:02What are you doing here?
01:03:03Who the hell are you?
01:03:04Alicia?
01:03:05Where am I?
01:03:06You're asking me that.
01:03:07Alicia, I finally get why you like him so much.
01:03:16Don't listen to her.
01:03:17Don't listen to her.
01:03:18I don't know what happened.
01:03:19Don't touch me.
01:03:20I'll tell you what happened.
01:03:22Your drunk husband came on to me.
01:03:24He was telling me how much he missed your first night.
01:03:28So he brought me up here to try to recreate it.
01:03:29You see it's in the same room?
01:03:30You see it's in the same room?
01:03:31He was telling me how much he missed your first night.
01:03:35So he brought me up here to try to recreate it.
01:03:37You see it's in the same room?
01:03:38That's not true.
01:03:39I didn't-
01:03:40Just when I thought I found someone that understood me.
01:03:41I didn't cheat.
01:03:42I've been drunk.
01:03:43I can't believe that I was just about to ask you to do this for a check.
01:03:44What?
01:03:45You don't deserve to be a father.
01:03:46You definitely do have to be in the same room.
01:03:47Alicia, wait.
01:03:48Alicia, wait.
01:03:49I can't explain it.
01:03:50I don't want to hear it.
01:03:51Please, is it my child?
01:03:52Now I'll end up fatherless just like you.
01:03:53I can't believe that I was just about to ask you to do this for a check.
01:03:56What?
01:03:57You don't deserve to be a father.
01:03:58You definitely do have to be in the same room.
01:03:59Alicia, wait.
01:04:00Alicia, wait.
01:04:01I can explain it.
01:04:02I don't want to hear it.
01:04:03Please, is it my child?
01:04:04Now I'll end up fatherless just like you.
01:04:19When did this happen?
01:04:20Is that really important after what you just did to me?
01:04:21After we left my parents, I went to the bar.
01:04:22I got drugged.
01:04:23Your sister and your stepmother are behind this.
01:04:24Ever since we got married, everything has gone wrong.
01:04:25Work, your parents, everything.
01:04:26I can fix this.
01:04:27Look, I'm going crazy.
01:04:28I'm tired, Alicia.
01:04:29I can't do this anymore.
01:04:30Please, just give me a chance.
01:04:31I can solve all of this.
01:04:32Alicia!
01:04:33We're done.
01:04:34I'm done.
01:04:35I'm done.
01:04:36I'm done.
01:04:37I'm done.
01:04:38I'm done.
01:04:39I'm done.
01:04:40I'm done.
01:04:41I'm done.
01:04:42I'm done.
01:04:43I'm done.
01:04:44I'm done.
01:04:45I'm done.
01:04:46I'm done.
01:04:48We're done.
01:04:54They're through.
01:04:55When we release these photos, Hell Hold Victor, he'll have an aneurysm.
01:05:03What have you done?
01:05:07They're through.
01:05:08When we release these photos, Hell Hold Victor, he'll have an aneurysm.
01:05:12What have you done?
01:05:17Alicia's my daughter.
01:05:20Laura, how can you be so cruel?
01:05:23If it weren't for you and your little brat,
01:05:25I wouldn't have to go this far.
01:05:27It was Alicia who tricked Lucius into going against us.
01:05:31We're just getting even.
01:05:33That's enough.
01:05:35I won't condone this type of behavior any longer.
01:05:39He'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, were you divorcing?
01:06:09The marriage was a mistake anyway.
01:06:11Well, what about the baby?
01:06:16I don't know.
01:06:19Yeah, you're a coward, Lucius.
01:06:22As a matter of fact, get out of my office, man.
01:06:24You're just a waste of space.
01:06:28You're just gonna let her go?
01:06:30Just like that?
01:06:32No.
01:06:34Then what the hell are you still doing here, man?
01:06:37Listen, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:06:40But we are brothers.
01:06:43And you could have said something to me.
01:06:45Didn't she tell you about this pregnancy days ago?
01:06:47She did.
01:06:48But think of all the shit you put her through, man.
01:06:52Everything.
01:06:53If you were in my shoes,
01:06:55would you say anything?
01:06:57This time, I'm going to fix everything.
01:07:01Boss, I found the waiter that drugged you.
01:07:06You've earned it.
01:07:17I would do.
01:07:19I would lift up.
01:07:20The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:07:23I drugged him.
01:07:25You slandered him publicly.
01:07:27Candace and her mother hate that woman.
01:07:30They will take care of him.
01:07:32I can be sure.
01:07:34His father has banished him.
01:07:37Without this family,
01:07:38Mr. Lion is nothing.
01:07:44Who said I needed that old man?
01:07:46What are you doing here?
01:07:48Mr. Lion, I've recorded all of our meetings.
01:07:51I have everything right here.
01:07:58You drug anyone ever again,
01:08:00I'll see to it personally
01:08:01that 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.
01:08:21Jenna.
01:08:26I quit.
01:08:27What?
01:08:28Why?
01:08:29You're the owner's wife.
01:08:30Yeah, well.
01:08:32We're getting a divorce.
01:08:42Have you thought this through?
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44Even without Candace's little stunt.
01:08:47We can't be together.
01:08:48My stepmother will never approve of it,
01:08:51and neither will your father.
01:08:53I thought that Lucius said
01:08:55he was gonna find evidence
01:08:57to prove there's nothing
01:08:58between him and Candace.
01:08:59Yeah, he's said it a million times,
01:09:00but things keep happening.
01:09:01I just...
01:09:02I can't do it anymore, Jamal.
01:09:04What about the child?
01:09:05I'll take care of it myself.
01:09:08Just tell Lucius
01:09:10whatever I owe him,
01:09:11I'll pay him back.
01:09:14I'll see you later.
01:09:15It's good to see you.
01:09:18Find me if you need anything.
01:09:20Sounds good.
01:09:52Almost like a dream.
01:09:57Kiki?
01:09:58Lucius wants you to come to my house
01:10:00to watch a show.
01:10:01A show?
01:10:03Alicia.
01:10:05How dare you show your face here?
01:10:06Lucius told me to come.
01:10:07You need to stop looking for Lucius.
01:10:08You are no longer a lion.
01:10:09Nor are you a brown.
01:10:10Well, hopefully I won't have to deal with you animals
01:10:12for very much longer.
01:10:13We have got to stop bumping into each other like that.
01:10:14What do you want?
01:10:15Just spit it out.
01:10:16Take a sec.
01:10:17Take a sec.
01:10:18Please.
01:10:19Take a sec.
01:10:20Please.
01:10:21Take a sec.
01:10:22What sort of game are you playing, Lucius?
01:10:23What do you want?
01:10:24Just spit it out.
01:10:25Take a sec.
01:10:26What sort of game are you playing, Lucius?
01:10:27Sweetheart, have a seat and watch.
01:10:29You have no longer a lion.
01:10:30We have no longer a lion.
01:10:31Nor are you a brown.
01:10:32Well, hopefully I won't have to deal with you animals
01:10:35for very much longer.
01:10:37We have got to stop bumping into each other like that.
01:10:41What do you want?
01:10:42Just spit it out.
01:10:43Take a sec, please.
01:10:46What sort of game are you playing, Lucius?
01:10:51playing Lucius. Sweetheart, have a seat and watch. Look, can we just get this over with please?
01:11:00Everyone's here.
01:11:07If these photos get out, we're doomed. Did you just bring me here to humiliate me all over again?
01:11:17I'd like to hear what the leading lady here has to say.
01:11:21I explained it already.
01:11:27Lucius was drunk and he forced me out to his hotel room. I couldn't fight him.
01:11:34Mr. Lion, we've known for years your son is a playboy. I could sue you all for this.
01:11:39Bravo. Great acting. It'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?
01:12:01Don't call me that, don't call me that.
01:12:03Candace, Mrs. Brown, you look unwell.
01:12:07They know everything, so no need to play claims.
01:12:09Who are you? I don't know him.
01:12:15You're that paralytic to my son, Vito.
01:12:18Yes, I am. They 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. I drugged them.
01:12:38That night, Mr. Lion's drink was spiked. That's already a crime.
01:12:42You can go now. We're even.
01:12:53That'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.
01:13:03Not anymore. I've reported all the illegal activities of your company to the authorities.
01:13:09I'm taking it too far this time, Laura.
01:13:13Mr. Brown, right in the nick of time.
01:13:15What are you doing here, Harry?
01:13:19Laura, you're a mean person. I'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.
01:13:27Dad, why are you doing this to me?
01:13:34Guards, take Candace and Mrs. Brown away, please.
01:13:39And 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.
01:13:54I'll have you.
01:13:57Scumbag! Go to hell!
01:14:01Alicia, sweetheart.
01:14:03I've been a fool.
01:14:05I'm so indebted to you.
01:14:09I'm a silly old man.
01:14:11Can you forgive me?
01:14:13You've done enough, Dad.
01:14:16You're gonna be fine.
01:14:16Well, I do have a conscience, so I suppose I owe you an apology, Ms. Brown, for all the slanders and misfortunes that you've been troubled with.
01:14:30It's okay. I'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.
01:14:49What 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.
01:15:17It 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.
01:15:47You know, I really am excited about all this.
01:15:51I just wish you would have told me sooner.
01:16:01I think we should have a real wedding this time.
01:16:09I agree.
01:16:11You owe me that much.
01:16:12You two, again?
01:16:18I look so silly.
01:16:19You look gorgeous.
01:16:20I wish you'd have done this three months.
01:16:21Relax.
01:16:24Can we hurry this up?
01:16:25I'm feeling a little flunky.
01:16:28What's wrong with you?
01:16:29A little.
01:16:30What?
01:16:33I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:34What?
01:16:35I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:38You're...
01:16:38Okay, you're craving capers.
01:16:39No, I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:43Labor, labor.
01:16:44Yes, labor, labor.
01:16:45Let's go.
01:16:45We got to go to the house.
01:16:46No.
01:16:47We are having this wedding.
01:16:49What are you...
01:16:50What are you going to pop it out on the pew?
01:16:54Okay, all right.
01:16:55Let's go.
01:16:55Let's go.
01:17:01Well, I'll be here when you get back.
