00:00Marion, no! Wake up!
00:03My eyes blew open, and I found myself on the window ledge, with Magnus pulling me back in.
00:08Magnus, there was a fire! Just now, it was everywhere!
00:12Hey, slow down. You were having a nightmare. You're fine.
00:16Oh my god!
00:17I got you.
00:18Magnus held me close, and I felt my heartbeat slowly coming back to normal.
00:22It wasn't mentioned in your file that you're a sleepwalker, and a potential danger to yourself.
00:27I sometimes sleepwalked as a kid, but I haven't in years. How did you even know?
00:33I heard you cry out for help.
00:34Across the hall? In your room?
00:36Yeah, you can be quite loud for such a tiny person.
00:39Well, I'm pretty sure my door was locked.
00:42I just kicked it open.
00:43Wow, I guess you're a good guy to have around for emergencies.
00:47That's why you hired me, right? I'm just really glad I got here in time.
00:50Magnus gently stroked my cheek, and looked deep into my eyes, and I felt like I was drowning in his.
00:56My heart was beating hard as I leaned in, but he suddenly drew away.
01:00You should try to get some sleep now. Good night, Miss Marion.
01:04And then, he just left. As I went to the door to close it, I noticed the metal doorknob was completely crushed.
01:11What kind of superhuman strength had Magnus used to open my door?
01:15I thought I'd question him in the morning, but I woke up to find the doorknob completely fine.
01:20Jeez, maybe Jake was right, and my overactive imagination was playing tricks on my mind.
01:25But I was sure I wasn't imagining that something between me and Magnus had changed.
01:30He was as serious as ever.
01:32But every now and then, I caught him looking at me quite intensely.
01:35And a few nights later, when my parents were hosting their annual Christmas party,
01:39I stepped out of my room, and the way his gaze lingered on me for a few extra seconds made my toes tingle.
01:46How do I look, Magnus?
01:47Oh, wait. Sorry. I forgot.
01:49It's not your job to have an opinion. Never mind.
01:51You look stunning. Let's go. Your parents are waiting.
01:56I was still feeling giddy over the compliment when I went downstairs and spotted Jake among the guests in the most hideous reindeer sweater.
02:04Are you trying to embarrass your parents, man? I know your mom's too cool to make you that ugly thing, so I guess your girlfriend gave it to you?
02:12No, I found a kidnapped six-year-old this week, and her mom gave it to me as a thank-you present.
02:15Oh, wow! Congratulations! And it's sweet that you're wearing it. I guess not all heroes wear capes and underwear over their clothes, huh?
02:23No, some of us just wear itchy sweaters. You look amazing, by the way.
02:28Okay, I'm waiting for an insult to follow.
02:31I seem to be out of them right now. Care to dance?
02:35As Jake pulled me close by the waist, my tummy did a funny little flip.
02:39So, how are things going with Matthew?
02:41It's Magnus, and yeah, he's great. Very professional.
02:46You know, last night, I was sleepwalking and nearly jumped out of my window.
02:50What?
02:50But Magnus was by my side instantly. He's really good at his job.
02:54Magnus was in your room? You know you shouldn't trust him completely. He's a stranger.
02:59He was there to save me, and I'm supposed to trust my bodyguard with my life, no?
03:04Yeah, but he's still very new, and there's something about this guy that makes me uneasy. I'm still looking into his background.
03:12Jake, are you jealous of him?
03:15What? Me? Jealous? Of him? Why would I be jealous?
03:19Maybe because he's devastatingly handsome, and he's your ex-girlfriend's bodyguard.
03:24I'm very secure about the way I look, and this isn't about me being hung up on us. We were terrible together, remember?
03:31Yeah, the worst. We argued all the time.
03:35Over the stupidest things. Do you remember we once had a fight because you kept insisting Batman's car is called Batman-mobile?
03:42It is called Batman-mobile.
03:44No, it's just Bat-mobile.
03:47I'd love to be wrong about this.
03:49Congratulations, you are! See this?
03:53Okay, fine. You're right about one lame thing.
03:56Can I have that in writing?
03:57We both laughed. It wasn't all bad, right? I mean, when we were together?
04:01No, I can recall some pretty good moments.
04:05Jake pulled me in even closer, and our faces were inches apart when suddenly the music stopped and he abruptly pulled away.
04:12Oh my god, was any guy gonna kiss me?
04:14And why was I attracted to both Jake and Magnus?
04:18And why were they both giving me such mixed signals?
04:21And it only got more confusing from there.
04:23Jake started making excuses to show up all the time.
04:26At home, even at college, and I could sense Magnus wasn't really loving it.
04:31Hey, so I was just at the farmer's market, and I saw this sweet old lady selling peaches.
04:35And I hate peaches, but I remembered you love them, so I got them for you.
04:39Suddenly, Magnus leapt forward, grabbed the box from him, and threw it in the trash.
04:44What the heck?
04:45Do you know that Miss Marion is only allergic to one thing in the world, and that's peaches?
04:49It's true.
04:50Oh, I knew there was some connection between you and peaches.
04:54I just forgot what.
04:56Maybe you should read her file properly.
04:58Maybe you should just mind your business, dude.
05:01This is literally my business, sir.
05:04Guys, guys, calm down.
05:06No one ate peaches.
05:07No one nearly died.
05:08It's all good.
05:09I am calm.
05:11It's not like I was gonna fight Magnus over this.
05:13Good, because you wouldn't be any match for me.
05:16Are you kidding me right now?
05:17I'm a trained police detective.
05:20So you sit at your desk all day studying cases and eating donuts.
05:23It shows.
05:25Oh, is that so?
05:26Well, then I challenge you to a match at my boxing club tonight.
05:29If Miss Marion is willing to come, I'll be there.
05:32What the heck was happening?
05:33Okay, this was too entertaining not to find out.
05:36I'm in.
05:47Ow, ow, ow.
05:50Why did you challenge Magnus to a fight, dummy?
05:53Because he gets under my skin.
05:55Well, it was stupid.
05:56Because he's ripped.
05:57And you're not as ripped.
05:59But you still look good.
06:00What's his workout routine, anyway?
06:02I don't know.
06:02I've never seen him work out.
06:04Maybe he's just naturally blessed.
06:06Maybe you should just leave.
06:08I really had no idea when Magnus did anything.
06:11But late one night, as I was writing at my desk, I looked out the window to see Magnus walking across the backyard.
06:17And I decided to follow him.
06:19And I found him in a school football field, lifting a massive boulder for weight training like it was nothing.
06:25What on freaking earth?
06:26And then, he started running laps around the field at a speed that made my head spin.
06:31He was going so fast, he was becoming a blur.
06:34I let out a gasp, and suddenly, he stopped.
06:36He looked here and there for a few seconds, and then quickly left.
06:39My heart was pounding as my thoughts raced.
06:42I ran back home to confront him.
06:44And when I knocked on his door, he opened it sleepily.
06:47Is everything okay, Miss Marion?
06:51No, no, everything is not okay.
06:54Don't even act like you were sleeping right now.
06:56I saw you.
06:57What are you talking about?
06:59I saw you on the football field, lifting a giant rock and running at supersonic speed.
07:04Have you been sleepwalking again?
07:06This is very dangerous.
07:07Don't change the subject.
07:09It was you, Magnus.
07:10And I want to know who you really are.
07:12Are you even human?
07:14Are you giving me a compliment or interrogating me?
07:17Look, I've been asleep for hours.
07:19And I don't know what you saw, but it wasn't me.
07:22It's your overactive imagination.
07:23I hate it when people say that.
07:25I know what I saw.
07:27And I, I think you have superpowers.
07:29Well, I'll admit, I do have one superpower.
07:33I can read minds.
07:34Suddenly, Magnus was leaning in really close.
07:38Uh, can you?
07:39Yeah.
07:39You're thinking that I look exceptionally good right now and you know it's inappropriate.
07:43But you're wondering what it would be like if I kissed you.
07:46You've never been more wrong about anything in your life.
07:49Okay, so which one is it then?
07:51Do I have superpowers or not?
07:53I guess not.
07:54I walked off to my room feeling like I was losing my mind.
07:57It was definitely Magnus I'd seen in the field.
08:00A theory was forming in my head and I needed to find out more to confirm it.
08:04I had midterm exams the following week, so I mostly kept in my room, avoided Magnus as
08:09much as possible and didn't entertain Jake either.
08:12But on the weekend, there was a big college party at a dance club and I was determined
08:16to go.
08:17Your father isn't too enthusiastic about this.
08:20He's been cracking down on more criminal gangs lately and he'd like you to stay out
08:24of the public eye as much as possible.
08:26Well, can't you tell him that I'm going because I deserve some fun and you'll protect
08:29me.
08:30That's why I have you around, right?
08:31The dance club was completely buzzing and I was having a great time when suddenly, someone
08:37pulled me away from my partner.
08:39It was Jake.
08:39What are you doing here?
08:41Why haven't you been answering my calls?
08:42I told you.
08:43I was busy studying.
08:44Sure, looks like it.
08:46Look, I need to talk to you about Magnus.
08:48Ugh, what now?
08:49Something is giving you an uneasy feeling in your stomach again?
08:52Well, yeah.
08:54Then either you have a crush on him or you're eating expired food.
08:58Either way, I've lost interest in this little game you're playing.
09:01What game?
09:02Jake, you haven't contacted me in four years and I know you don't really like me, so
09:06the only explanation for you turning up all the time now is that you've got some silly
09:11ego competition going on with Magnus.
09:13It's not like that.
09:15Okay, so if Magnus is out of the picture, you'll still come around?
09:18Maybe ask me out?
09:20Maybe.
09:20I might, but I really have something more important to talk about right now.
09:24No, I just want to have fun.
09:26I was walking off when Jake grabbed my hand and then pulled me into a kiss that left me
09:31breathless.
09:32Do I have your attention now?
09:33But just then, Magnus was by my side pushing Jake away.
09:37What do you think you're doing?
09:38It's clear that you're forcing yourself on Miss Marion and I want you to leave.
09:43Wait, no, that's not...
09:44Don't tell me what to do.
09:46She's safe with me.
09:47Aren't you a detective?
09:49It's always the ex-boyfriend who's trouble.
09:51I don't trust you.
09:52The feeling is mutual.
09:54Jake punched Magnus and before I knew it, the two had broken out into a crazy fight.
09:59As a crowd gathered around them, I suddenly felt a hand clamped over my mouth and some
10:03hooded man was dragging me away through a back entrance and no one was even looking at
10:08me in the chaos.
10:09I tried to kick and scream, but the man's grip was too strong as he led me out into
10:14a dark alley.
10:14I felt panic rising in my chest when suddenly Magnus appeared and attacked the kidnapper.
10:20The man pushed Magnus off with a great force, sending him flying into a wall as he ran away.
10:26Magnus!
10:26I'm fine, I'm fine.
10:28Are you okay?
10:29Yeah, I think so.
10:31I just got really scared.
10:33I'm so sorry, Marion.
10:34Hey, you're bleeding.
10:36Just then, I noticed my leg was grazed and some blood was trickling down.
10:40Magnus drew a sharp breath and his face looked paler than usual.
10:44What is it?
10:45Nothing, nothing.
10:46Sometimes blood makes me a bit sick.
10:48I'm calling the car.
10:49We need to get you home.
10:51Where's Jake?
10:52Punched him into a coma, hopefully.
10:54Magnus!
10:55He's fine.
10:56I want to know exactly what happened tonight.
10:59How is it that a police detective and a bodyguard I pay a lot of money to were both there at
11:04the nightclub and my daughter nearly got kidnapped?
11:07Jake is interfering with my job and his actions tonight put Miss Marion in great danger.
11:12You need to fire him, sir.
11:14I've been meeting with the people who previously hired him and what they said about him is very
11:19suspicious.
11:20Which is what?
11:21They all said the same thing about how great he is at his job, but it sounded fake, like
11:26they'd been hypnotized or something.
11:28We were all looking at Jake like he was crazy.
11:31And that's not all.
11:32A few days ago, I saw a tattoo on his wrist, which I traced back to a dangerous criminal group
11:37that escaped prison a few years ago.
11:40Show us your left wrist, Magnus.
11:41Magnus looked at Jake silently and pulled up both sleeves and neither had any tattoo.
11:46What?
11:47No!
11:47I saw it.
11:48I'm certain of it.
11:50Jake, I don't know what's going on with you, but you need to stay away from Marion.
11:54I won't have your wild theories put my daughter's life in danger.
11:58Let the bodyguard do his job.
12:00But I'm doing my job too, and I know I'm right.
12:04I don't remember hiring you for one.
12:06I'm getting a restraining order against you, Jake.
12:09Stay away.
12:10Jake gave me a long look, then left angrily.
12:13Later that night, I just couldn't sleep and went up to the rooftop, only to find Magnus
12:19behind me minutes later.
12:21Sorry.
12:21I feel extra paranoid after what happened tonight.
12:24You know something, Magnus?
12:26Jake is wrong about many things, but he's right about one.
12:29You've been lying about who you really are, and I know who you are.
12:33You've been lying about who you are, and I know who you are, and I know who you are, and I know who you are, and I know who you are.
