00:01:41I accept the offer Sylvia you're you're back so when should I start
00:02:00thank you so much to you
00:02:07thank you forWhat I'm watching
00:02:11I'll see you next time
00:02:13so
00:02:14Dad!
00:02:34Hey buddy, what have you been up to today?
00:02:40Tell me everything.
00:02:42Alright buddy, time for bed.
00:02:46There we go.
00:02:50Daddy, is this my mom?
00:02:56I'll be taking that now, buddy.
00:03:02Take this design, for example.
00:03:06The stone is way too big.
00:03:08It overwhelms the band and the setting is wrong.
00:03:11It'll just snag on everything.
00:03:13My designs are perfectly fine.
00:03:15Fine isn't what couples remember on their wedding day.
00:03:19What you need to do is lower the profile, taper the band, and then add some micropave to balance the center.
00:03:31Then you have a design that's elegant and practical.
00:03:33Dean, are you gonna let her just do this?
00:03:37She's right. The proportions were off.
00:03:39The setting would have caused many problems.
00:03:41Sylvia, I'm putting you in charge of our next major client presentation.
00:03:47Who's the client?
00:03:49I am exhibition.
00:03:51They specifically requested for innovative design.
00:03:53But Dean, that's supposed to be your project.
00:03:57Christine, we need fresh ideas.
00:03:59Presentation's next week.
00:04:03You think you can handle it?
00:04:05I don't think.
00:04:07I know.
00:04:09At Sterling Designs, we care about catering to the bride's every need and making sure that she feels beautiful and special on her big day.
00:04:21Exactly.
00:04:23A wedding is the bride's most important day.
00:04:25And no one wants it ruined.
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:29Right.
00:04:31So let's talk about the design.
00:04:33I'm thinking something unique.
00:04:35Maybe both of our names engraved on the rings?
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39We can do that, for sure.
00:04:41What is your fiance's name?
00:04:43Dean.
00:04:45Dean Martinez.
00:04:49You're engaged to Dean.
00:04:50Mm-hmm.
00:04:52I didn't know that.
00:04:53Yeah, I know he's the boss here, but maybe we can keep this between me and you?
00:04:57We don't want things to get too over the top.
00:05:01When is the wedding?
00:05:02Next month.
00:05:03And we are both so looking forward to it.
00:05:06So that's why he left me.
00:05:08For another woman.
00:05:10Dean is engaged.
00:05:11That's his secret.
00:05:13I was fooled by him all this time.
00:05:15He's going to get married.
00:05:16How can he say he loves me?
00:05:18How can he be such a liar?
00:05:20Oh!
00:05:21Oh!
00:05:22I'm so sorry.
00:05:23Are you okay?
00:05:24Um...
00:05:25What's your name?
00:05:26I'm Michael.
00:05:27Michael?
00:05:28Who are you here with?
00:05:29Where, um...
00:05:30Where are your parents?
00:05:32Michael!
00:05:33Thank God you're here.
00:05:34Dad!
00:05:37Dad?
00:05:38When...
00:05:39When did you have a child?
00:05:44Is Michael...
00:05:45You and Pauline's?
00:05:47How did you find out of Abelie?
00:05:49Just answer the question.
00:05:50Look, it's very complicated, Sylvia.
00:05:52You never told me that you had a kid.
00:05:55You lied to me.
00:05:57Sylvia, please don't go.
00:05:59Mom!
00:06:00Today's the Morrison presentation.
00:06:01I, um...
00:06:02Just wanted to let you know that...
00:06:04You got this.
00:06:06Now if you'll excuse me.
00:06:07You don't have to shut me out, you know?
00:06:09That's exactly what I have to do.
00:06:10Dave!
00:06:12How did you do this?
00:06:13Dave!
00:06:14How did you do this?
00:06:16And, uh, do this?
00:06:17Oh, yeah.
00:06:18I didn't know that.
00:06:19I'm so sorry.
00:06:20I'm so sorry.
00:06:21Oh, yeah.
00:06:22I don't want to know.
00:06:23But I'm so sorry.
00:06:24I'm so sorry.
00:06:25I'm so sorry.
00:06:26You're so sorry.
00:06:27I'm so sorry.
00:06:28But I don't want to know that you got this.
00:06:30Now if you'll excuse me.
00:06:32You don't have to shut me out, you know?
00:06:35You don't have to shut me out, you know?
00:06:37That's exactly what I have to do.
00:06:38How dare she treat you like that?
00:06:50You clean up well.
00:06:52Almost like you belong here.
00:06:54Still bitter I got the project, Christine?
00:06:56Bitter?
00:06:57No.
00:06:59But you should watch your attitude towards Dean.
00:07:01That's between me and him.
00:07:05Oops.
00:07:06Let me get that for you.
00:07:16If you're done here, I've got work that sticks for itself.
00:07:29Oh, I'm counting on it.
00:07:36Good morning.
00:07:42My name is Sylvia Wilkins, and today I will be going over the design for the Morrison wedding.
00:07:47This can't be possible.
00:08:05Oh, yeah.
00:08:06Actually, um, Sylvia and I have a little surprise for everyone.
00:08:18Before we begin, um, we'll be doing a little detour, and we'll be right back.
00:08:24You guys are gonna love it.
00:08:25This is what it is.
00:08:26Hey, hey.
00:08:42Don't worry.
00:08:44We'll find them, okay?
00:08:46Just tell me where you're gonna last save the files.
00:08:49See, there's nothing there.
00:09:05It's like the files just vanished.
00:09:08Somebody deleted them.
00:09:09We need time to find out home.
00:09:12Maybe it's time that we go back to the beginning.
00:09:26What do you mean?
00:09:27We're so sorry for the delay.
00:09:39We had a bit of a setback, but I'm pretty sure you're gonna like this.
00:09:47I'm gonna take you all back to where it all began.
00:09:50That's our wedding ring.
00:10:01I designed this ring three years ago.
00:10:04They were meant for all the expectations and happiness before the wedding.
00:10:12I designed it with the intention of representing simplicity and love, um, to represent a love
00:10:29that wasn't perfect, but it was simple and sincere.
00:10:34It's like I dreamed you up inside my head
00:10:42I thought the picture perfect love was only in frame
00:10:51Yes, I pulled you right from the page into reality
00:10:57Feels like I'm falling deep into your gravity
00:11:02Cause it's like I dreamed you up
00:11:32Sylvia, please, we need to talk.
00:11:57No, I didn't mean to bring up the past, okay?
00:12:00I just, that Sketch was the only one that I had.
00:12:03I know, just open the door.
00:12:06Will you just leave me alone?
00:12:30I thought you were gone.
00:12:32I'm not going anywhere.
00:12:34I'm sorry, Sylvia, for leaving you at the altar, for everything I did.
00:12:39I never meant to hurt you.
00:12:41It's too late for your apologies.
00:12:45I don't want you close to me.
00:12:47I don't even want to see you.
00:12:48Sylvia, if I let you go now, I'll go crazy.
00:12:51You can be mad at me, scream at me, but please don't just shut me out.
00:12:54You think that saying all of this makes everything better?
00:12:58That it just erases what you did?
00:13:00No, no, nothing can erase it.
00:13:02But I'm still here.
00:13:03I'm still in love with you, Sylvia.
00:13:06I never stopped.
00:13:08Do you have any idea how I suffered all these years?
00:13:11How I missed you?
00:13:13I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:15I shouldn't feel this way.
00:13:43I don't want to see your face.
00:13:49I don't want to see your face.
00:13:53All my bones know their strength
00:13:58I'll be brave and trying to wait
00:14:13What's wrong with me?
00:14:22I'm supposed to rise above Dean, or at least punch him out.
00:14:25Not this.
00:14:28Morning, Syl.
00:14:34This night was great, wasn't it?
00:14:36Um, Dean, let's, um, let's not talk about this again.
00:14:43Or bring it up to anyone.
00:14:44What do you mean?
00:14:45I mean, we can't go back to how things were, okay?
00:14:48We have to forget about whatever just happened between us, okay?
00:14:53Do you understand me?
00:14:56Sure.
00:14:57Okay.
00:14:58You have to go.
00:15:00Don't worry, Sylvia.
00:15:14Dean told me everything.
00:15:15We'll find out who stole your project.
00:15:17Oh, I know who did it.
00:15:18Who?
00:15:19I can prove it.
00:15:20Christine, will you hand over my design for the Morrison wedding, please?
00:15:32Are you crazy?
00:15:33I didn't steal anything.
00:15:35You and I were the last people that had contact before I went on to present.
00:15:38I think you know exactly what happened.
00:15:41I don't know what you're talking about.
00:15:44Maybe you weren't careful enough with your memory stick.
00:15:48That's, that's funny.
00:15:51I never mentioned that I had my design saved on a memory stick.
00:15:54Usually designers will hand draw them or save them to a digital file.
00:15:58How did you know that mine was on a stick?
00:16:01Is that true?
00:16:02I've been on this team longer than anyone, and Sylvia's hated me from the start.
00:16:12She wants to frame me because she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:17She wasn't even respecting Dean.
00:16:20Like, she thinks she's above everyone else.
00:16:23I don't think I'm above anyone, and I don't just throw out accusations freely.
00:16:28Not without good reason.
00:16:30You already exposed yourself, Christine.
00:16:37Why are you doing this to me?
00:16:39I trust Christine more.
00:16:41To be honest, she's always been nice.
00:16:43She must be lying. Look at her.
00:16:46Enough!
00:16:51Dean, come on, you know-
00:16:52Drop the act, Christine.
00:17:00Maybe catching you off guard isn't proof of guilt.
00:17:03But look at your recent submissions.
00:17:06You're near duplicates of Sylvia's early work.
00:17:09Clear plagiarism.
00:17:12Check her desk.
00:17:15And no, wait, you can't!
00:17:17Now, what else?
00:17:31I...
00:17:32I didn't mean to steal!
00:17:33She wasn't respecting him!
00:17:35I...
00:17:36I did it for you, Dean!
00:17:38Everything that I did was for you!
00:17:41Christine...
00:17:43You're fired.
00:17:45You just used my name to justify betrayal.
00:17:49And with a plagiarism and theft record,
00:17:52no reputable jeweler you have will hire you again.
00:17:55Security, get her out of here.
00:17:57Get her out of here.
00:18:11Hey.
00:18:13Thanks.
00:18:14I didn't expect you to be so decisive.
00:18:17I kinda expected you to go easy on Christine.
00:18:21Kindness only enables people like her.
00:18:23She almost destroyed your career.
00:18:25That's my red line.
00:18:28Well...
00:18:30Thanks again.
00:18:32Are you really not gonna talk to me still?
00:18:34Dean...
00:18:35I think it's better this way for both of us.
00:18:37If we just keep it about work between us.
00:18:41Then...
00:18:43What if it is about work?
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Well, you got your USB back.
00:18:48I wanted to review the design together.
00:18:50Are you being serious right now?
00:18:52I'm serious.
00:18:53It's...
00:18:54It's excellent, but...
00:18:56It's not good enough.
00:18:57Not for you.
00:19:02Technically, it's perfect.
00:19:05But that's the problem.
00:19:09It's cold.
00:19:10It's delicate.
00:19:12Precise.
00:19:13But there's no joy in it.
00:19:17No romance.
00:19:18It's a ring.
00:19:19It's not a pillow.
00:19:20No.
00:19:21It's a promise.
00:19:23People come to us for love.
00:19:25Not just a product.
00:19:27They wanna feel something real.
00:19:30Promise?
00:19:32Do you think that I believe in that?
00:19:34I'm sorry if I lost my passion.
00:19:37Who do I have to thank for that, Dean?
00:19:40You can still feel that passion again.
00:19:46You know what?
00:19:47You're right.
00:19:48Yeah, maybe...
00:19:49Maybe I should go on a date.
00:19:51A... a date?
00:19:52You said I need more passion.
00:19:53I need more passion.
00:20:04Hello.
00:20:05Sylvia Wilkins.
00:20:06Myra, nice to meet you.
00:20:07Nice to meet you as well.
00:20:08Enjoy the exhibit.
00:20:11Hello!
00:20:12Hey, are you Sylvia Wilkins?
00:20:26Your designs are incredible.
00:20:29My name is Jacob.
00:20:30I'm a graduate student in forensic genetics.
00:20:32Nice to meet you.
00:20:33I didn't realize that students studying forensic genetics
00:20:37were interested in...
00:20:39gems.
00:20:40Yeah, you get the point.
00:20:41I have no idea about any of them,
00:20:43except that they're all expensive.
00:20:46So would you mind telling me a little bit about them?
00:20:50Who the hell is that guy?
00:20:52Absolutely.
00:20:55All of our gems, we actually do mine.
00:20:57We don't believe in lab growing our gems here, so...
00:21:02My thesis is on forensic genetics.
00:21:04Basically, solving mysteries through DNA,
00:21:06which sounds serious,
00:21:07but I'm the type that can turn the darkest crime scenes
00:21:10into stories to make my friends laugh.
00:21:12That's...
00:21:13That's impressive.
00:21:14Well, what about you?
00:21:15How do you usually work?
00:21:16Are you designers surrounded by these beautiful stones all the time?
00:21:19Oh...
00:21:20Um...
00:21:22Well, I work in silence.
00:21:24I design sketches that try and capture love in cold stones and metals,
00:21:31so it's really not that exciting of a job.
00:21:34Well, there's a kind of magic in that, too.
00:21:37Transforming feelings into something tangible.
00:21:40It's like you're telling a story without words.
00:21:42Maybe.
00:21:43Or it's just a business.
00:21:45I don't buy that.
00:21:46You have to believe in what you're creating, otherwise it's just jewelry.
00:21:50Besides, that smile tells me you still believe.
00:21:55So...
00:21:57Are you single?
00:22:01So...
00:22:03Are you single?
00:22:05Hi.
00:22:06You seem to have a lot of questions,
00:22:08and I happen to be one of the organizers of this event.
00:22:11So, if you have any questions, just ask me.
00:22:15You seem like you need a rest.
00:22:16Have you been working with him?
00:22:17No. I'm fine.
00:22:18Is he your boyfriend?
00:22:19No.
00:22:20Yes.
00:22:21He's not.
00:22:22I was.
00:22:23He's my ex.
00:22:24Uh, dinner plans later?
00:22:25We actually have a lot of meetings that we can't miss.
00:22:29It sounds like your ex is using his power at work to interfere with your personal life.
00:22:34Isn't it getting a little late?
00:22:36You should probably go home since it's a school night.
00:22:39Because students have a little bit more energy, unlike some washed-up corporate has-been.
00:22:45So, any chance I could get your number?
00:22:49Really?
00:22:50That's your move?
00:22:51You got a better one?
00:22:52Oh, wait.
00:22:53You had yours. You blew it.
00:22:57You know nothing about her.
00:23:00Not yet.
00:23:01That's what dinner's for.
00:23:02Guys, are we really doing this right now?
00:23:04What, are we in kindergarten?
00:23:11Jacob.
00:23:16Thanks.
00:23:17Call me.
00:23:19Don't worry.
00:23:20I'll treat her better than her ex.
00:23:23Sylvia, wait.
00:23:24Look.
00:23:25I know I shouldn't have jumped in.
00:23:26I look pathetic.
00:23:27But seeing you smile at him, I just couldn't stand it, okay?
00:23:28You couldn't stand it?
00:23:29You couldn't stand it?
00:23:30You couldn't stand that?
00:23:31But you could leave me standing alone in front of a hundred guests?
00:23:32If you care so much now, Dean, why didn't you show up on our wedding day?
00:23:36I'm not that weak girl you left behind now.
00:23:41But seeing you smile at him, I just couldn't stand it, okay?
00:23:45You couldn't stand it?
00:23:49You couldn't stand that?
00:23:51But you could leave me standing alone in front of a hundred guests?
00:23:54If you care so much now, Dean,
00:23:56why didn't you show up on our wedding day?
00:24:01I'm not that weak girl you left behind now.
00:24:04So just tell me the reason.
00:24:05Were you afraid of marriage or did you just not love me enough?
00:24:08No, I wasn't afraid.
00:24:09Then why?
00:24:10Look, I had my reasons.
00:24:12I was falling apart.
00:24:13I just, I can't explain it to you.
00:24:16Still, after all these years,
00:24:19you say that you were falling apart, but that can't be the full story.
00:24:23So just give me the reason.
00:24:25You know, I used to dream every night
00:24:28that you would come back,
00:24:31whisper that you were sorry,
00:24:32that you still loved me.
00:24:40But now I'll stop waiting.
00:24:42I don't want your guilt or your memories.
00:24:44I just want the truth.
00:24:45So either you tell me,
00:24:46or I'm gone.
00:24:53Sylvia!
00:24:54There's only one truth.
00:25:01I never stop loving you.
00:25:03Do you think that I would believe that?
00:25:06You're a liar, Dean.
00:25:08Please.
00:25:09Don't go.
00:25:10I'll tell you everything.
00:25:11It's because I wasn't worthy of you.
00:25:19I don't understand.
00:25:21We both came from the same place.
00:25:24We both graduated from design schools.
00:25:26We had the same dream.
00:25:28We even met at a design competition.
00:25:31Yes.
00:25:31And you defeated me.
00:25:33You stood there with your design.
00:25:36So bold.
00:25:37So impossible.
00:25:40Everyone called it reckless.
00:25:41They also said that it was too risky.
00:25:44You were the only person that stood in front of all of them
00:25:46and defended me.
00:25:47You were the bravest person in the room.
00:25:51You always have been.
00:25:53It was never about our dreams.
00:25:57Or your brilliance.
00:25:58The problem was...
00:26:00I made a huge mistake.
00:26:04And while you were rising,
00:26:05brilliant, unstoppable,
00:26:07I was falling apart.
00:26:09And I thought you'd be much better off
00:26:11without me.
00:26:14I never thought that for a second.
00:26:16But if you keep running,
00:26:17I'm not going to keep waiting for you.
00:26:19Someone else is going to come into my life.
00:26:21And I'm going to let them.
00:26:23I'm going to date them.
00:26:24Maybe sleep with them.
00:26:25Who knows, maybe I'll even marry them.
00:26:33Don't say that.
00:26:35Don't talk about being with another man.
00:26:38You left.
00:26:40You made room in your life for someone else.
00:26:42Just...
00:26:42Just hearing it...
00:26:45It tears me apart.
00:26:48I know...
00:26:50I may be selfish,
00:26:51but I can't stand the thought of you being with someone else.
00:26:55I can't breathe...
00:26:57when I picture it.
00:26:58I know he's still hiding something.
00:27:00But when he kisses me...
00:27:03I just forget to care.
00:27:05There's no need to be somebody else.
00:27:06No.
00:27:07No.
00:27:08Oh my God.
00:27:09I can't do it.
00:27:10Come here.
00:27:12Come here.
00:27:18Uh...
00:27:23home...
00:27:54Hey, if it's urgent, I can wait.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:21I'm sorry, Celia.
00:28:23Dean.
00:28:23I have to go.
00:28:24What's going on?
00:28:28If you walk out now, don't come back.
00:28:33I owe you the truth.
00:28:45Pauline and I dated seven years ago.
00:28:50It was short-lived and we broke up way before you and I met.
00:28:55After a few years, when we were supposed to get married, she came back.
00:29:07I told her that she was an old son and that I was the father.
00:29:11I was shocked and I didn't believe her until she showed me the attorney he asked.
00:29:20Look, I'm about to marry somebody I truly love.
00:29:26I'll support Michael in every way I can, but I won't marry you.
00:29:31You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:33You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:34Your son has early signs of autism.
00:29:38What?
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:39He eats by himself.
00:29:41He talks to himself.
00:29:43He's a total freak.
00:29:44You want to know why, Dean?
00:29:46Because he's never had a father.
00:29:48So don't expect to have a family with anyone else.
00:29:52You're stuck with me.
00:29:58I later realized that Michael's autism, it was purely because of Pauline's neglect.
00:30:04After three years with me, he talks, he plays, he laughs.
00:30:09Oh my God.
00:30:10I'm telling the truth, Sylvia.
00:30:13Really.
00:30:14I just don't know what to believe anymore.
00:30:16The one thing you can believe is that I didn't leave our wedding because I didn't love you.
00:30:25I left because I thought I had to take responsibility.
00:30:30So then, what about Pauline?
00:30:33What happened?
00:30:34She just dropped Michael off and vanished.
00:30:37Didn't hear from her until recently.
00:30:39What kind of mother does that?
00:30:41Exactly.
00:30:41I've raced him alone, and those years were so joyful because of Michael, but also...
00:30:51But what?
00:30:53Extremely unbearable.
00:30:55Because I thought I lost you forever.
00:30:58And then you showed up at Sterling.
00:31:02It felt like a second chance.
00:31:04But it's too late now, isn't it?
00:31:08Because you're going to marry Pauline anyway.
00:31:11I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I had to take care of Michael.
00:31:18I had to be a father.
00:31:19So, you're going to marry Pauline and live a lie just to be under the illusion of having a perfect life?
00:31:29I know I sound pathetic, but I thought I lost you.
00:31:33And then you came back, and I started dreaming again.
00:31:37You don't get to dream with me.
00:31:40I spent years burying that day.
00:31:44Trying to forget about the ring, the flowers, the empty aisle.
00:31:49Sylvia.
00:31:50Just tell Michael the truth one day.
00:31:58Goodbye, Dean.
00:31:59You're home.
00:32:21I missed you.
00:32:23Where's Michael?
00:32:27Oh, I was thinking about hiring a nanny for Michael.
00:32:31Since we're doing so well financially, why not?
00:32:34Someone to watch Michael while we spend more time together.
00:32:37You came back, and instead of building something with him, you got a nanny to do your job?
00:32:43Dean, I just want to spend more time with you.
00:32:45If you want to spend time with anyone, just spend it with Michael.
00:32:51You're such a fool, Dean.
00:32:53Michael isn't even your son.
00:32:55You've been raising a child that isn't yours all these years.
00:33:00But you've got more than I ever imagined.
00:33:02That's why letting you go isn't an option.
00:33:06Dean.
00:33:08Just stop working.
00:33:09I can give you a massage.
00:33:11No, no, thanks.
00:33:12I saw your designer today.
00:33:19What's her name?
00:33:20Sylvia Wilkins.
00:33:24What?
00:33:25What were you doing at Sterling?
00:33:28I was designing our wedding rings, of course.
00:33:30I asked Wilkins to handle it.
00:33:32Are you out of your mind?
00:33:33I'll handle the design, okay?
00:33:35You leave Sylvia out of this.
00:33:37It's because of her, isn't it?
00:33:40Don't worry.
00:33:41She seems nice enough.
00:33:43I'll befriend her.
00:33:55My dress has to match my ring perfectly.
00:33:57You're coming with me to pick it out.
00:33:58I have work to do.
00:34:00I can't just drop everything.
00:34:02Refuse, and I'll file a formal complaint with HR.
00:34:06Unprofessional conduct.
00:34:07Conflict of interest being Dean's ex.
00:34:10You'll lose the lead on this project.
00:34:13Fine.
00:34:15I'll go with you.
00:34:16Just wait, Dean.
00:34:17You know, Dean told me everything that happened between you two.
00:34:33I felt so sorry that he left you to be with me.
00:34:36Wait, Dean told you that?
00:34:37Of course.
00:34:39He told me everything.
00:34:40I wouldn't worry about it too much, though.
00:34:43He said he never forgot about me, even when he was with you.
00:34:46Miss Miller, I don't need to know the details of your entire love story to design your dream.
00:34:51Really?
00:34:52Isn't that what designers do?
00:34:54Funny how some things never change.
00:35:00You're still just to help.
00:35:02Don't worry, darling.
00:35:04Soon you won't even be in the picture.
00:35:16No.
00:35:17No, Sylvia.
00:35:18Honestly, are you even trying?
00:35:20This looks like something off a discount catalog.
00:35:22All of our designs are original.
00:35:24You just asked for options?
00:35:25Options, yes.
00:35:28Not mediocrity.
00:35:29This design was based after ancient filigree.
00:35:32It's really interesting.
00:35:33Shut up.
00:35:35Honestly, you make me wonder.
00:35:37I mean, it's no secret you have a talent for making men pity you.
00:35:40Is that how you got this job?
00:35:42Say that again and I swear.
00:35:44No, you can't, sweetie.
00:35:45I know everything that happened between you and Dean.
00:35:47What are you talking about?
00:35:49Dean and I are cheating.
00:35:50What do you think your clients, loving couples, no less?
00:35:54But think about their designer being a homewrecker.
00:35:57I doubt anyone would trust you to design their wedding ring.
00:36:00How dare you call me a homewrecker?
00:36:03Dean and I met long after you two broke up.
00:36:06Doesn't matter.
00:36:07No one's going to believe you.
00:36:09Him and I are to get married.
00:36:11He'll be by my side.
00:36:12And you'll be alone.
00:36:15I'll design your ring.
00:36:17Just don't be too sure you can keep it.
00:36:21Oh, I'm sure.
00:36:28So, um, with everything that you have told me about your vision for your big day,
00:36:33I have considered that that might be a good pairing for you.
00:36:37What about that one?
00:36:39The one from your little exhibition?
00:36:41Seems familiar, doesn't it?
00:36:42Wait, you want, you want that one?
00:36:46It's a bit tacky, but it'll do.
00:36:49Sorry, that one is for-
00:36:51For you and Dean's wedding?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:54Well, that wedding's over.
00:36:55So don't you think it belongs to the real bride now?
00:36:58I wonder what Dean will say.
00:37:00Pauline, that ring looks so much better on you.
00:37:02Or you're the one that really deserves it.
00:37:05Can't you just, like, pick another one?
00:37:06Oh, darling, I can't.
00:37:08Then you're not using it anyway, so why not make it easy and you bring us that ring as
00:37:15your little gift to us?
00:37:16I'll never let you have it.
00:37:19Not as long as I'm alive.
00:37:22You really think you have a choice?
00:37:25Sylvia, you're just the ex that he left at the altar for me.
00:37:31Dean chose me.
00:37:33Dean cares about me more than he ever cared about you.
00:37:36Dean is a man of responsibility.
00:37:38The only reason he's marrying you is because of Michael, not for love.
00:37:42You?
00:37:44You're neither a good wife nor a good mother.
00:37:48I pity the life that you two will build together.
00:37:53What are you doing, Pauline?
00:37:54Dean, I'm your fiancé.
00:37:57How can you side with your ex over me?
00:38:00Sylvia's my designer now.
00:38:02No one, no one is allowed to hurt her.
00:38:06Not while I'm here.
00:38:11Dean, help me pick out the perfect dress.
00:38:15We have a wedding to plan.
00:38:17Would you just let me know what you decide when you figure it out?
00:38:20I have other stuff to do.
00:38:28You really are something, Dean.
00:38:31We're about to get married and you're still thinking about another woman?
00:38:34I told you, I'll give you what you want.
00:38:41Money, the name, but you need to be a real mother to Michael.
00:38:45That's our deal.
00:38:47And I'll stay loyal to the marriage.
00:38:50But don't ask for more.
00:38:52Fine.
00:38:53Now let's get back to the dresses.
00:39:04This wedding is happening and no one, especially her, is going to ruin it.
00:39:10Find that woman.
00:39:11Sylvia Wilkins.
00:39:16Teach her a lesson.
00:39:18Some things aren't hers to touch.
00:39:21Sylvia, about Pauline's wedding ring project, I reassigned it to someone else.
00:39:43You don't have to do that anymore.
00:39:44Understood.
00:39:45Sylvia, I...
00:39:48Dean, we talked about this.
00:39:50You're the boss, I'm the employee.
00:39:52It's better for both of us if we just keep it that way, okay?
00:39:56You're right.
00:39:58Get home safe.
00:39:59Okay.
00:40:15You're the boss, I'm the boss.
00:40:45Where do you think you are going, sweetheart?
00:41:10I...
00:41:10I don't...
00:41:11I don't know you.
00:41:12I don't know you.
00:41:13Please, just don't touch me.
00:41:15Just don't touch me.
00:41:16Calm down.
00:41:17Calm down.
00:41:18Let us remind you.
00:41:21Huh?
00:41:24You owe somebody.
00:41:25It's very important.
00:41:27And we're just here to...
00:41:30remind you.
00:41:32This is about my debt.
00:41:35I don't know who said you.
00:41:37But I swear, I'm working on it, okay?
00:41:40It's not about the money.
00:41:43You pissed the person off.
00:41:49Malene?
00:41:49Get in.
00:42:04Come on.
00:42:05Come on.
00:42:05Suve, are you okay?
00:42:18You don't get to care about me anymore, okay?
00:42:20You're marrying Pauline.
00:42:21You don't get to care about me.
00:42:23Even if I'm marrying her, I can't ignore your safety.
00:42:27You know what they said?
00:42:29They said...
00:42:30They told me...
00:42:33you messed with the wrong person.
00:42:35They didn't say her name.
00:42:37But I...
00:42:37I didn't know that they were talking about Pauline.
00:42:41Forget I said anything, though.
00:42:42She's the mother of your child.
00:42:44She doesn't get a free pass for that.
00:42:45And no one gets to hurt you.
00:42:49No one's still breathing.
00:42:55You're home late.
00:42:57Don't tell me you were with your little designer again.
00:43:03Pauline?
00:43:04Do you have connections with people who do dirty work?
00:43:09What's going on?
00:43:10You think I'd do something criminal?
00:43:12Sylvia was nearly attacked tonight.
00:43:14Dean, come on.
00:43:14You think I hired criminals to attack her?
00:43:18What kind of woman do you think I am?
00:43:19How can you say that?
00:43:20I'm your fiancé.
00:43:21Then prove it.
00:43:23This marriage only happens if Sylvia's never touched.
00:43:27One incident.
00:43:28Just one.
00:43:29And the deal's off.
00:43:31No money, no wedding, nothing.
00:43:36Sweetie, come on.
00:43:44What's up, kiddo?
00:43:47We'll protect your designer.
00:43:48I have nothing to hide.
00:43:54You think this scares me?
00:43:56You just handed me a clock, Dean.
00:43:58And she's already running out of time.
00:44:00What's up, kiddo?
00:44:13You're supposed to be in bed now.
00:44:15Dad!
00:44:16The nanny, she doesn't give me dinner.
00:44:19I'm hungry.
00:44:21Wait, what?
00:44:22Why is Michael at the nanny's?
00:44:29And why didn't you feed him?
00:44:33He ate, okay?
00:44:35The nanny gave him food.
00:44:36He's just seeking attention.
00:44:38He's six years old.
00:44:39Exactly.
00:44:40Not a baby.
00:44:41He's coming home tomorrow.
00:44:42I'll pick him up myself.
00:44:43All right.
00:44:52I'll see you tomorrow.
00:44:53I promise.
00:44:56Just be a man tonight, okay?
00:44:58Dad, why can't Sylvia be my mom?
00:45:02Sylvia isn't your real mom, sweetheart.
00:45:05Your real mom is Colleen.
00:45:08But she doesn't like me.
00:45:10She, she just doesn't know how to show it.
00:45:15Let me talk to her.
00:45:17Good night, kiddo.
00:45:18Good night, Dad.
00:45:20How I wish I could give Michael someone warm, someone real.
00:45:26But Sylvia deserves a life free from this.
00:45:29Even if I want it more than ever.
00:45:32Who are you talking to?
00:45:41Michael.
00:45:43It's pretty clear that you don't care about him, do you?
00:45:48Dean.
00:45:49Of course I care about our son.
00:45:51I want to be better for Michael.
00:45:55But don't you think we should work on this first?
00:45:58No, I don't think so.
00:45:59I don't think so.
00:46:02So you don't want me to lay a finger on her, huh?
00:46:18You really think I can't destroy her without touching her?
00:46:22Hello.
00:46:39I have some interesting information on a woman named Sylvia Wilkins.
00:46:43Sylvia Wilkins.
00:46:45She owes money.
00:46:47A lot.
00:46:50And you'll be very interested once you find out where she works.
00:47:00Once your reputation crashes, that contract won't mean a damn thing.
00:47:04Hi.
