00:02:46there we go
00:02:48daddy is this my mom i'll be taking that now buddy
00:02:59take this design for example the stone is way too big it overwhelms the band and
00:03:09the setting is wrong it'll just snag on everything my designs are perfectly fine
00:03:15fine isn't what couples remember on their wedding day
00:03:17what you need to do is lower the profile
00:03:20taper the band and then add some micro pave to balance the center
00:03:28then you have a design that's elegant and practical
00:03:33dean are you gonna let her just do this she's right the proportions wear off
00:03:39setting would have caused many problems sylvia i'm putting you in charge of our next major
00:03:46client presentation who's the client the morrison jim exhibition they specifically requested
00:03:52for innovative design but dean that's supposed to be your project christine we need fresh

00:09:50that's our
00:10:00wedding ring
00:10:01i designed this ring
00:10:02three years ago
00:10:03they were meant for
00:10:06all the expectations and happiness before the wedding
00:10:18i designed
00:10:19i designed it with the intention of representing simplicity and love to represent a love that wasn't perfect but it was simple and sincere
00:10:34it's like i thought the picture was perfect love was only in brain
00:10:52feels like i'm falling deep into your gravity
00:10:59feels like i'm falling deep into your gravity
00:11:03i'm falling deep into your body
00:11:04i thought the door was perfect because it's like i dreamed you were
00:11:10Sylvia.
00:11:33Sylvia.
00:11:34Sylvia, 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
00:12:33I'm sorry, Sylvia, for leaving you at the altar
00:12:37For, for everything I did
00:12:39I, I never meant to hurt you
00:12:42It's too late for your apologies
00:12:44I 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
00:12:53But please don't just shut me out
00:12:55You think that saying all of this
00:12:56Makes 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
00:13:04I'm still in love with you, Sylvia
00:13:06I never stopped
00:13:08You have any idea how I suffered
00:13:10All these years?
00:13:12How I miss you?
00:13:13I shouldn't feel this way
00:13:17Carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
00:13:29But don't let it make you older
00:13:33I don't want to see your face
00:13:50I don't want to see your face
00:13:52All my bones know their strength
00:13:58I'll be brave and trying to wait
00:14:03Fuck
00:14:20What's wrong with me?
00:14:22I'm supposed to rise above Dean
00:14:24Or at least punch him out
00:14:25Not this
00:14:27Morning, Sylvia
00:14:29This night was great, wasn't it?
00:14:36Um, Dean
00:14:38Let's, um
00:14:39Let'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
00:14:48Okay
00:14:48We have to forget about
00:14:50Whatever just happened between us, okay?
00:14:54Do you understand me?
00:14:57Sure
00:14:57Great
00:14:58You have to go
00:14:59Don't worry, Sylvia
00:15:13Dean 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
00:15:28Will 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
00:15:43Maybe you weren't careful enough with your memory stick
00:15:47That's, that's funny
00:15:52I 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
00:16:07And Sylvia's hated me from the start
00:16:11She 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
00:16:26And I don't just throw out accusations freely
00:16:28Not without good reason
00:16:30You already exposed yourself, Christine
00:16:33Why are you doing this to me?
00:16:40I trust Christine more
00:16:41To be honest, she's always been nice
00:16:44She must be lying
00:16:46Look at her
00:16:46No
00:16:46Dean, come on, you know
00:16:53Drop
00:16:53The act
00:16:54Christine
00:16:55Catching you off guard isn't proof of guilt
00:17:03But look at your recent submissions
00:17:05They're near duplicates of Sylvia's early work
00:17:09Clear plagiarism
00:17:11Check her desk
00:17:14And no, wait, you can't
00:17:17Now, what else?
00:17:30I... I didn't mean to steal
00:17:33She wasn't respecting him
00:17:35I... I did it for you, Dean
00:17:39Everything that I did was for you
00:17:41Christine
00:17:42You're fired
00:17:44You just used my name
00:17:48To justify betrayal
00:17:49And with a plagiarism and theft record
00:17:52And with a plagiarism and theft record
00:17:52No reputable jewelry house will hire you again
00:17:55Security
00:17:57Get her out of here
00:17:58Hey, I didn't expect you to be so decisive
00:18:04I kind of expected you to go easy on Christine
00:18:20Kindness only enables people like her
00:18:23She almost destroyed your career
00:18:25That's my red line
00:18:27Well
00:18:28Thanks again
00:18:31Are you really not going to talk to me still?
00:18:35Dean
00:18:35I think it's better this way for both of us
00:18:37If we just keep it about work between us
00:18:39Then...
00:18:43What if it is about work?
00:18:46What?
00:18:47Well, you got your USB back
00:18:48I wanted to review the design together
00:18:51Are you being serious right now?
00:18:52I'm serious
00:18:53It's excellent, but
00:18:55It's not good enough
00:18:57Not for you
00:18:58Technically, it's perfect
00:19:04But that's the problem
00:19:07It's cold
00:19:10It's delicate
00:19:11Precise
00:19:12But there's no joy in it
00:19:15No romance
00:19:18It's a ring
00:19:20It's not a pillow
00:19:21No, it's a promise
00:19:22People come to us for love
00:19:25Not just a product
00:19:27They want to feel
00:19:28Something 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?
00:19:43You can still
00:19:44Feel that passion again
00:19:46You know what?
00:19:47You're right
00:19:47Yeah, maybe
00:19:49Maybe I should go on a date
00:19:50A...
00:19:51A date?
00:19:52You said I need more passion
00:19:54Hello
00:20:05Sylvia Wilkins
00:20:06Myra
00:20:06Designer
00:20:07Nice to meet you
00:20:07Nice to meet you as well
00:20:08Enjoy the exhibit
00:20:09Thank you
00:20:10Thank you
00:20:10Hey, are you Sylvia Wilkins?
00:20:26Your designs are incredible
00:20:28Thank you
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
00:20:35Students studying forensic genetics
00:20:37Were interested in
00:20:38Gems
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
00:20:44So would you mind telling me
00:20:47A little bit about them?
00:20:50Who the hell is that guy?
00:20:52Absolutely
00:20:53All of our gems
00:20:56We actually do mine
00:20:57We don't believe in
00:20:59Lab growing our gems here
00:21:00So
00:21:01My thesis is on forensic genetics
00:21:04Basically solving mysteries through DNA
00:21:07Which sounds serious
00:21:08But I'm the type that can turn the darkest crime scenes
00:21:10Into stories to make my friends laugh
00:21:12That's impressive
00:21:14Well, what about you?
00:21:16How do you usually work?
00:21:17Are you designers surrounded by these beautiful stones all the time?
00:21:20Oh
00:21:20Well, I work in silence
00:21:24I design sketches that try and capture love in cold stones and metal
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
00:21:48Otherwise it's just jewelry
00:21:49Besides
00:21:50That smile tells me you still believe
00:21:53So
00:21:56Are you single?
00:22:01So
00:22:02Are you single?
00:22:06Hi
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
00:22:12If you have any questions, just ask me
00:22:14You seem like you need a rest
00:22:16No
00:22:16You've been working all the time
00:22:17I'm fine
00:22:18Is he your boyfriend?
00:22:20No
00:22:20Yes
00:22:20He's not
00:22:21I was
00:22:22He's my ex
00:22:23Uh, dinner plans later?
00:22:25We actually have a lot of meetings
00:22:27That we can't miss
00:22:29It sounds like your ex is using his power at work
00:22:32To interfere with your personal life
00:22:33Isn't it getting a little late?
00:22:36You should probably go home since it's a school night
00:22:38Because students have a little bit more energy
00:22:41Unlike some washed up corporate has been
00:22:43So
00:22:46Any chance I could get your number?
00:22:49Really?
00:22:50That's your move?
00:22:51You got a better one?
00:22:53Oh wait
00:22:53You had yours
00:22:55You blew it
00:22:56You know nothing
00:22:58About her
00:23:00Not yet
00:23:01After dinner's four
00:23:02Guys
00:23:03Are we really doing this right now?
00:23:05What are we in kindergarten?
00:23:06Jordan?
00:23:11Jacob
00:23:11Jacob
00:23:11Thanks
00:23:17Call me
00:23:18Don't worry
00:23:20I'll treat her better than her ex
00:23:22Sylvia, wait
00:23:35Look
00:23:36Look
00:23:36I know I shouldn't have jumped him
00:23:38I look
00:23:39Pathetic
00:23:40But
00:23:41Seeing you smile at him
00:23:43I just couldn't stand it
00:23:44Okay?
00:23:45You couldn't stand it?
00:23:49You couldn't stand that?
00:23:51But you could leave me standing alone
00:23:53In front of a hundred guests?
00:23:54If you care so much now, Dean
00:23:55Why didn't you show up on our wedding day?
00:24:01I'm not that weak girl you left behind now
00:24:03So just tell me the reason
00:24:05Were you afraid of marriage?
00:24:06Or did you just not love me enough?
00:24:08No, I wasn't afraid
00:24:09I
00:24:09Then why?
00:24:10Look, I had my reasons
00:24:11I was falling apart
00:24:13I just
00:24:14I can't explain it to you
00:24:16Still
00:24:17After all these years
00:24:19You say that you were falling apart
00:24:20But that can't be the full story
00:24:22So just give me the reason
00:24:25You know
00:24:26I used to dream
00:24:27Every night
00:24:29That you would come back
00:24:30Whisper that you were sorry
00:24:32That you still love me
00:24:34And now I'll stop waiting
00:24:41I don't want your guilt
00:24:43Or your memories
00:24:44I just want the truth
00:24:45So either you tell me
00:24:46Or I'm gone
00:24:47Sylvia
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
00:25:07Please
00:25:08Don't go
00:25:10I'll tell you everything
00:25:11It's because
00:25:17I wasn't worthy of you
00:25:18I don't understand
00:25:20We both
00:25:22Came from the same place
00:25:24We both graduated
00:25:25From design schools
00:25:26We
00:25:26We had the same dream
00:25:28We even met
00:25:29At a design competition
00:25:30Yes
00:25:31And you
00:25:32Defeated me
00:25:33You stood there
00:25:34With your design
00:25:35So
00:25:36Bold
00:25:37So
00:25:37Impossible
00:25:39Everyone called it reckless
00:25:41They also said that it was too risky
00:25:43You were the only person
00:25:45That stood in front of all of them
00:25:46And defended me
00:25:47You were the bravest person in the room
00:25:49You always have been
00:25:53It was never
00:25:53About our dreams
00:25:56Or your brilliance
00:25:58The problem was
00:26:00I made a huge mistake
00:26:03And while you were rising
00:26:05Brilliant
00:26:06Unstoppable
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 gonna keep waiting for you
00:26:19Someone else is gonna come into my life
00:26:21And I'm gonna let them
00:26:22I'm gonna date them
00:26:24Maybe sleep with them
00:26:25Who knows
00:26:26Maybe I'll even marry them
00:26:27Don't say that
00:26:34Don't talk about being with
00:26:37Another man
00:26:38You left
00:26:39You made room in your life
00:26:41For someone else
00:26:42Just
00:26:42Just hearing it
00:26:44It tears me apart
00:26:46I know
00:26:49I may be selfish
00:26:51But I can't stand
00:26:52The thought of you being with someone else
00:26:54I can't breathe
00:26:55When I picture it
00:26:58I know
00:26:59He's still hiding something
00:27:00But when he kisses me
00:27:02I just forget to care
00:27:05I just forget to care
00:27:05I can't believe it
00:27:07I can't believe it
00:27:08I can't believe it
00:27:10I can't believe it
00:27:10I can't believe it
00:27:11I can't believe it
00:27:11I can't believe it
00:27:12I can't believe it
00:27:12I can't believe it
00:27:13I can't believe it
00:27:14I can't believe it
00:27:14I can't believe it
00:27:14I can't believe it
00:27:15I can't believe it
00:27:15I can't believe it
00:27:16I can't believe it
00:27:16I can't believe it
00:27:16I can't believe it
00:27:17I can't believe it
00:27:18I can't believe it
00:27:18Oh, my God.
00:27:48Hey, if it's urgent, I can wait.
00:28:14I know.
00:28:18I'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.
00:28:40I, um, I 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.
00:29:03She said she had a three-year-old son, and that I was the father.
00:29:12I was shocked, and I didn't believe her until she showed me the attorney test.
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.
00:29:32You think this is about money, Dean?
00:29:33Dean, your son has early signs of autism.
00:29:38What?
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:40He eats by himself.
00:29:42He talks to himself.
00:29:43He's a total freak.
00:29:45You 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.
00:29:54You'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.
00:30:20The one thing you can believe is that I didn't leave our wedding because I didn't love you.
00:30:26I 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.
00:30:45And those years were so joyful because of Michael.
00:30:50But also what?
00:30:52But 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.
00:31:05But it's too late now, isn't it?
00:31:07Because you're going to marry Pauline anyway.
00:31:12I 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?
00:31:28I know I sound pathetic, but I thought I lost you.
00:31:33And then you came back and I started dreaming again.
00:31:38You 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.
00:31:49So, Sylvia.
00:31:50Just tell Michael the truth one day.
00:31:59Goodbye, Dean.
00:32:01Goodbye.
00:32:10Goodbye.
00:32:12Goodbye.
00:32:13Goodbye.
00:32:14Goodbye.
00:32:16Goodbye.
00:32:17Goodbye.
00:32:18You're home.
00:32:22I missed you.
00:32:24Where'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.
00:32:56You've been raising a child that isn't yours all these years.
00:32:59But 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.
00:33:11No, 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.
00:34:03And 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.
00:34:18She'll never stand between us.
00:34:19You 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 brain.
00:34:51Really?
00:34:52Isn't that what designers do?
00:34:57Funny 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, no, 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?
00:35:26Options, 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.
00:35:41Is that how you got this job?
00:35:42Say that again and I swear...
00:35:43What?
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?
00:35:52Loving 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, and 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?
00:36:38The one from your little exhibition.
00:36:41Seems familiar, doesn't it?
00:36:43Wait, you want...
00:36:44You want that one?
00:36:46It's a bit tacky, but...
00:36:48It'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.
00:36:56So 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?
00:37:07Oh, 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 your little gift to us?
00:37:16I'll never let you have it.
00:37:19Not as long as I'm alive.
00:37:20You 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?
00:37:42You'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.
00:38:12Dean?
00:38:13Help 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?
00:38:37I told you, I'll give you what you want.
00:38:40Money, 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.
00:39:11Find that woman.
00:39:13Sylvia 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.
00:39:45Understood.
00:39:45Sylvia, I...
00:39:49Dean, we talked about this.
00:39:50You're the boss.
00:39:51I'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.
00:39:59You're the boss.
00:40:29Let's go.
00:40:59Where do you think you are going, sweetheart?
00:41:10I don't know you.

00:41:15Just don't touch me.

00:49:02You're really kind.
00:49:05But, um, I'm not ready to quit.
00:49:08I'll just rebuild from the wreckage.
00:49:10Like I always do.
00:49:31Pauline, if this is true,
00:49:33then she didn't just try to hurt Sylvia.
00:49:35She wanted to destroy her.
00:49:37Why are you on my laptop?
00:49:52You don't eat this.
00:49:54You did this to her?
00:49:56Dean, that's not true.
00:49:57And what am I supposed to believe in?
00:49:59I was desperate.
00:50:01You were slipping away.
00:50:02Every time you looked at Sylvia, I saw it.
00:50:05I just wanted her gone.
00:50:08Stop lying, Pauline.
00:50:11You never loved me.
00:50:12You just loved the brand, the name, the lifestyle.
00:50:17If it weren't for Michael, I would have never agreed to this marriage.
00:50:20I didn't want to hurt her.
00:50:22I just wanted her out of our lives.
00:50:24You wanted to ruin her.
00:50:26You're going to clear her name publicly.
00:50:29You're going to tell them everything you did.
00:50:31Or you walk away with nothing.
00:50:34No marriage, no money.
00:50:36They printed a retraction.
00:50:44Full page.
00:50:45Called the article slander.
00:50:47You're cleared.
00:50:49I don't understand what changed their minds.
00:50:52It just feels like a miracle.
00:50:55Well, sometimes miracles do happen.
00:50:57People are still cautious.
00:50:59But the truth's out now.
00:51:02They're listening again.
00:51:03Prove your ability to them.
00:51:05Tonight, we unveil a new line designed by Sylvia Wilkins.
00:51:31Wow.
00:51:32Thank you so much.
00:51:34I was crushed, humiliated, but I didn't hide this time.
00:51:44I chose to get up and I designed my way out.
00:51:51Thank you so much to all of you for being here and to everyone that still supports me today.
00:51:55It means the world to me.
00:51:56Miss Wilkins, we are so sorry.
00:52:18We owe you a huge apology.
00:52:19Dean Martinez, your boss, he fought like hell to clear your name.
00:52:25He even threatened to sue half of the press corps.
00:52:29What?
00:52:31Dean did all that for me?
00:52:34Ladies and gents, may I want to thank you all for being here tonight.
00:52:43I have one final announcement to make.
00:52:45I will be officially stepping down from my position as director of Sterling Designs.
00:52:51And effective immediately, I'm appointing our new creative lead.
00:52:57Someone whose work speaks for itself and whose integrity speaks even louder.
00:53:03Sylvia Wilkins.
00:53:13This was never about sacrifice.
00:53:14He left again, after doing everything for me.
00:53:41Mrs. Wilkins?
00:53:52Detective Parker, I decided to bring these to you personally.
00:53:58These documents clearly show Pauline orchestrated the smear campaign.
00:54:03She's the one behind it all.
00:54:06Wait, what is this?
00:54:07That some leftover evidence in her apartment, we're not sure what it's related to, but if
00:54:14it's useful, you're more than welcome to take it.
00:54:20Good luck.
00:54:25Wait, isn't this lab right next to Jacobs University?
00:54:29You said the lab name is...
00:54:40Sylvia, that clinic doesn't even do DNA paternity testing, and we have no record of a request
00:54:45under Dean's name.
00:54:46Okay, so what does that mean?
00:54:48It means the documents are fake.
00:54:53It was all a lie.
00:54:55I have to find him, before it's too late.
00:55:03I heard you quit your job and handed everything over to Sylvia?
00:55:06What a ridiculous rumor.
00:55:08It's true.
00:55:10You quit?
00:55:11Are you insane?
00:55:17Nothing's changed.
00:55:18We're still getting married.
00:55:19Bullshit.
00:55:21Without your job, without your salary, you mean nothing to me.
00:55:23How dare you just quit?
00:55:26I made my own decision.
00:55:27And I made mine too.
00:55:29We are not getting married.
00:55:31And you will provide financial support for me and Michael for the rest of our lives.
00:55:35Dean.
00:55:40This DNA test?
00:55:42Look, it's fake.
00:55:44Michael isn't your son.
00:55:45Of course Michael's his son.
00:55:47Stop lying through your teeth just to drag him back.
00:55:50Don't listen to her, Dean.
00:55:51I went there and I checked.
00:55:53That lab doesn't even do paternity tests.
00:55:56That document is fake.
00:55:59Michael isn't my son.
00:56:04Oh, hey.
00:56:05Hey.
00:56:06Are you okay?
00:56:13Hey.
00:56:17Dean.
00:56:17Dean.
00:56:17Dean.
00:56:17Dean.
00:56:21What happened?
00:56:23You're okay.
00:56:26Everything's over.
00:56:27What?
00:56:28Pauline's ex.
00:56:29He's, um, he's a criminal.
00:56:32He's in jail now, but he's, um, Michael's his son.
00:56:36Pauline ran away.
00:56:38She, she used Michael to trap me.
00:56:42Wait, so, so where is Pauline?
00:56:45I have enough evidence to put her behind the bars.
00:56:51She didn't even take Michael with her.
00:56:55To her, he means nothing.
00:56:58So, um, does this mean that you're single again?
00:57:03I, I guess.
00:57:05But right now I'm trying to be what Michael needs.
00:57:09That's all that matters.
00:57:11You're not going to try and find a good mother for him?
00:57:13Right now, there's no room for anyone else.
00:57:20Only you.
00:57:21I figured you'd never want me again.
00:57:24Why do you always have to carry everything alone?
00:57:27You cleared my name.
00:57:29You quit your job for me.
00:57:32Because I love you.
00:57:34I don't need a reason to protect you.
00:57:37I just don't want to drag you into my mess.
00:57:39You're such a fool.
00:57:54Hello.
00:57:54Hey.
00:57:55Sylvia, you, you're burning up.
00:57:58Because I'm biting more than just lies.
00:58:00Jacob helped you with the DNA test?
00:58:13Yeah, he, um, he helped me with the investigation.
00:58:18He's a nice guy.
00:58:20Yeah, he is.
00:58:21I guess he's not the right person for you.
00:58:24You guys barely dated.
00:58:26Come on.
00:58:27Jacob and I are just friends.
00:58:31Plus, I never got jealous of Pauline.
00:58:35He has a reckless with her once.
00:58:38Quickly realized she's not the one.
00:58:41You are the only woman I've ever really loved.
00:58:45You are the only woman I've ever loved.
