Short filmTranscript
00:00:00If I could, rewind the clock.
00:00:06Matthew?
00:00:07Here.
00:00:09Hi.
00:00:11I'm Emily.
00:00:13Matthew.
00:00:14How many times have I dreamed of you?
00:00:26I'll keep it safe.
00:00:30You were my first friend in college.
00:00:33Yet, I know you'll never come back.
00:00:37Hey, Matthew!
00:00:45Matthew?
00:00:47Are you okay?
00:00:49Oh my god.
00:00:50Somebody help!
00:00:51Please!
00:00:53How I miss seeing your face and hearing your voice.
00:01:03This is your new assistant.
00:01:08Um, my name is Emily.
00:01:09This is the document you asked for.
00:01:13But I never expected it to be this way.
00:01:22I need you now.
00:01:23Being a personal assistant means not only being on call 24-7, but also handling some of his little secrets.
00:01:45Tracy, 24, you work as a receptionist at Corolla Jewelry, and of course your father asking you to come and
00:01:50see Alexander.
00:01:52What exactly do you want?
00:01:54You want to accuse him of rape so that you can sabotage the partnership?
00:01:58What did they do to threaten you?
00:02:00Use your father's gambling debts?
00:02:02How did you-
00:02:02How did you leave before everyone you love knows what you've done?
00:02:12Hey, it's too late.
00:02:13It's too late.
00:02:15Please help me.
00:02:16I forgot to mention that, besides being Alexander's assistant, I also serve as his lover.
00:02:34I have good news for you.
00:02:37I've settled things with my father.
00:02:40He's agreed to invest.
00:02:41Well, that is good news.
00:02:49Is that all?
00:02:52When are you going to announce our wedding date to my dad?
00:02:55Cynthia, I think you misunderstood.
00:02:57I'm not part of the gift.
00:03:01Alexander, you should know that my father wouldn't be willing to invest a penny if you weren't my boyfriend.
00:03:14This tie suits you well.
00:03:16You should wear it tonight.
00:03:21Emily!
00:03:25Emily!
00:03:26Hi.
00:03:27Um, do you have that quarterly report ready for me?
00:03:31Yes, is now a good time?
00:03:33Are you sending me away already?
00:03:36No, why don't I have Mike accompany you if you can take my credit card and get whatever you like.
00:03:48Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:51You're in your office.
00:03:53So many can see us.
00:03:54We won't do anything.
00:03:56Watch.
00:03:59I like this necklace on you.
00:04:02Since you helped me out, yet again,
00:04:04let me get you a little gift.
00:04:08Maybe some...
00:04:10earrings?
00:04:14Maybe a nice dress?
00:04:16Alexander, it's not needed.
00:04:18Okay, this is stuff I should be doing as your assistant anyways.
00:04:23Don't look at me like that.
00:04:29You know, sometimes...
00:04:31I wonder if you see me...
00:04:34when you look at me.
00:04:36Or are you seeing someone else?
00:04:42You know what?
00:04:43Let me...
00:04:44I'm gonna get back to work.
00:04:45For the banquet tonight,
00:04:46uh, wear something nice.
00:04:47And that necklace.
00:04:49I like it on you.
00:04:51Yes, sir.
00:04:56Boss, I've got information about our investigation on that man.
00:05:03His name is Matthew.
00:05:04He was Emily's first love back in school.
00:05:15And according to our investigation,
00:05:17he died in a car accident three years ago.
00:05:20How can a dead man still have such a hold on her?
00:05:24When did you say he died?
00:05:25Three years ago?
00:05:28Could this be related to my memory loss?
00:05:39What makes you think you deserve a diamond necklace as expensive?
00:05:43Oh, dear.
00:05:45Alexander showers me with gifts like this every year.
00:05:48But you...
00:05:50You strut around with your little participants award like it's some grand prize.
00:05:55Do you even realize you're just a lowly assistant?
00:05:59As if Alexander would ever care about someone like you.
00:06:03I don't need anything from Alexander.
00:06:05Because I've earned everything that I've worked for.
00:06:08Don't think I haven't caught on to your game, you sneaky bitch.
00:06:11Alexander is mine.
00:06:14And you'll never get your claws on him.
00:06:25Why does it bother me?
00:06:27I shouldn't fall for Alexander.
00:06:48Hey, where's your necklace?
00:06:53I don't like it.
00:07:02Aw, Emily, thank you for pulling up my chair for me.
00:07:05My father and I have some confidential things to discuss tonight.
00:07:08Go sit in the corner.
00:07:13We all know who the star is today.
00:07:16So, how about I give you a yes to marrying my daughter?
00:07:20Wow, uh, thank you, but actually my heart belongs with someone else, so I hope you understand my reasoning.
00:07:36Oh, why? You're too pasty.
00:07:40The children need time to develop their feelings for each other.
00:07:44Alexander, would you like some dessert?
00:07:47Yeah.
00:07:49Servant?
00:07:52Serve that to the woman opposite, Alexander.
00:08:04Emily, what happened this afternoon was completely my fault. I really hope you don't take it to heart.
00:08:13Mrs. DeVillis, just a misunderstanding. No harm done.
00:08:19Is this the girl that made you cry when you came home today, Cynthia?
00:08:22Yes, Mom. I upset Emily, which made Alexander angry and sent me away.
00:08:27I thought Mr. Alexander had better taste than this.
00:08:30Actually, uh, Emily is the best assistant that I've had the pleasure of working with.
00:08:36Now I understand why you refused so firmly before.
00:08:40You kids were fighting!
00:08:43Emily, I'm so happy you're not upset with me.
00:08:46I made these pastries specifically for you. I really hope you'll try them and forgive me.
00:08:52Does this have pistachio cream in it? Because I'm allergic.
00:08:57Does this mean you won't forgive me?
00:09:06You don't have to eat them if you don't want to.
00:09:09Mr. Alexander, I think you pay too much attention to your employee.
00:09:16And besides, these pastries are hand-made by Cynthia. How could they possibly do her any harm?
00:09:23I can't make things difficult for Alexander.
00:09:25I'm not sure.
00:09:25I'm sure.
00:09:27I'm not sure.
00:09:36I'm not sure.
00:09:41Excuse me.

00:12:49i gave it right back to you cynthia
00:12:53cynthia
00:12:53why are you being so rude to our guests and why would mr alexander keep somebody around
00:12:59with sticky fingers
00:13:02besides
00:13:03stealing something worth one hundred million dollars that could get you
00:13:09ten years in prison
00:13:12miss
00:13:13we searched the
00:13:14entire dressing room and we can't find your necklace
00:13:18are you suggesting that i remember
00:13:21miss actually there is one last place that we haven't checked yet
00:13:26miss emily's handbag
00:13:48mr deville
00:13:51miss file is all the confidential technology you need
00:13:57on the condition you agree to marry cynthia
00:14:00i don't recall that being part of the agreement
00:14:04cynthia likes you
00:14:06i was going to give you more time to get to know each other but
00:14:09your actions tonight concern me
00:14:12may i be blunt mr deville
00:14:15besides the fact that love can't be forced
00:14:17are you trying to make a business deal or sell your daughter
00:14:20you
00:14:24alexander you should know that your rival clinton corporation
00:14:27also wants this opportunity
00:14:31i rejected clinton corporation's offer because of your
00:14:34close relationship with cynthia
00:14:36if you don't marry cynthia tonight
00:14:39i will seize our partnership
00:14:41immediately
00:14:55alexander consider your decision carefully
00:15:02alexander consider your decision carefully
00:15:05the value that i provide as a business partner is much more than that of a husband
00:15:10at my age money is no longer critical
00:15:14cynthia's happiness is all that matters
00:15:16i think we have a misunderstanding
00:15:18i've never loved cynthia nor do i believe i'm the man for her
00:15:21she won't find any happiness with me
00:15:23i knew it cynthia was right
00:15:25you'll be rich by that little assistant
00:15:29how could alexander be seduced by such a lowly assistant
00:15:34emily is not like that
00:15:36this partnership is crucial to the both of us and there's no need to ruin it
00:15:39over personal matters
00:15:41in any case
00:15:42it would help if you did not let cynthia be hurt
00:15:45or mistreated

00:15:49this partnership will end
00:15:53sir we need you

00:32:54stop there
00:32:55stop hurting me please
00:33:14oh me
00:33:17oh..
00:33:48You've been deceiving yourself that he's dead.
00:33:51Explain yourself then.
00:33:54I was Matthew's friend, my coach.
00:33:56And my biggest regret is that I couldn't protect him three years ago.
00:34:00But if I'd seen through Alexander's schemes, then maybe Matthew would have...
00:34:04Oh, hold on. Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:11Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:15Yes. Matthew's fine, but...
00:34:17Yes.
00:34:20Okay. Tell me everything.
00:34:23Why does Alexander look exactly like Matthew? And why did he want Matthew dead?
00:34:27What people don't know is that Alexander, the World Group's esteemed CEO, is actually Matthew's illegitimate brother.
00:34:34Matthew and his mom took Alexander in, but...
00:34:38Growing up, he harbored secret ambitions to eliminate Matthew and take the family's inheritance for himself.
00:34:43So three years ago, he orchestrated that car accident to try to hit you both.
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:49Let's make a deal.
00:34:52Get close to Alexander, find out his secrets, and together, we can take him down and avenge Matthew.
00:35:01Are you really starting to like him?
00:35:09Where's the evidence?
00:35:10Okay, you've said a lot, but you haven't proven anything.
00:35:12Once Alexander took control of his family's power, he didn't let any of his illegitimate status leak out.
00:35:18But I can prove to you I'm Matthew's friend.
00:35:21I win.
00:35:22This piece, this is something you gave him the last time that you met.
00:35:27Okay, so I actually got this for you.
00:35:36What's this for?
00:35:38So my family is actually in a little bit of trouble.
00:35:42And my dad has a lot of gambling debt.
00:35:45And so I think we are going to have to leave the city.
00:35:49I might have to leave school early.
00:35:57And so I think we are going to have to leave the city.
00:36:01I might have to leave school early.
00:36:07Emily, you know, I've always wanted to tell you.
00:36:10Oh, Matthew, hold on.
00:36:11I'm sorry, there's an emergency at home.
00:36:13I have to go.
00:36:14I'm so sorry.
00:36:18So Matthew told you all about this.
00:36:21As Matthew's friend, it's only natural I'd want to protect you.
00:36:25Damn it.
00:36:27Why can't you just forget who I am?
00:36:30Remember, I do.
00:36:31Get close to Alexander.
00:36:33Find him this witness.
00:36:48Hey.
00:36:53I just want to say sorry for being a bit impulsive last night.
00:37:00It's okay.
00:37:01Did you wake up early and get some work done at least?
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:05Yeah, I did.
00:37:05But nothing's more important than seeing you.
00:37:09Well, I am also your executive assistant, so I can share in your burdens.
00:37:15Oh, well, Emily, let me report to you then.
00:37:21After pissing off Cynthia's family last night, Mr. DeVille has stopped agreeing to give us the technology we need.
00:37:28But we've begun developing our own technology, so we won't have to rely on partnerships in the future.
00:37:35That's actually really good.
00:37:36I'm really happy for you.
00:37:38Yeah.
00:37:43But there is just, you know, one little thing.
00:37:53No one can know about this technology.
00:37:57So I hope I can rely on your professional discretion.
00:38:02Well, whether I stay quiet or not really just depends on how much leverage you have to keep me.
00:38:13How's that for leverage?
00:38:37How's that for leverage?
00:38:59How about a deal, Mr. DeVille?
00:39:01Well, I help you get revenge and Alexander.
00:39:04We take everything from him and ensure he can never hold his head high before the DeVille family again.
00:39:10Sometimes, reliable allies come not from marital bonds or blood ties, but from having a common enemy.
00:39:32What do you see now, Alexander's weakness?
00:39:34Bring a USB drive to the bar downtown.
00:39:36I choose you.
00:39:39Hello.
00:39:40What are you up to?
00:39:42Uh, nothing.
00:39:43Let me get you some water.
00:39:46You going out?
00:39:48No, I was just, uh, cold.
00:39:51There you go.
00:39:54You're welcome.
00:39:58Leave it, leave it.
00:39:59Leave it.
00:39:59I'll have someone clean up.
00:40:00Hello?
00:40:00Please and thank you.
00:40:01The USB drive.
00:40:14Alexander, we need you at the company immediately.
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:18Yeah, for sure.
00:40:19We'll be right over.
00:40:21That was work.
00:40:22I just gotta go ahead over there, but I will be right back.
00:40:24Yeah, of course.
00:40:26Work is enough.
00:40:27Okay.
00:40:39I'm stuck.
00:40:40I'm stuck.
00:40:54I'm stuck.
00:41:04Hello?
00:41:05Hi.
00:41:06Why don't you wait here?
00:41:07I'll be right back, okay?
00:41:09Yeah, let me grab your coat.
00:41:10You might be a little bit too hot.
00:41:12Okay.
00:41:36No wine for me tonight.
00:41:37I got some work to do later.
00:41:39Well, that's okay.
00:41:41Why don't you try the food and see if it's to your liking?
00:41:43Emily, your cooking is always to my liking.
00:41:53Emily.
00:42:00I coated the fork.
00:42:05Alexander?
00:42:07Hey.
00:42:09Hey, Ella.
00:42:13Mr. Alexander is tipsy.
00:42:15Can you help him to his room, please?
00:42:16Yes, ma'am.
00:42:22I'm sorry, Alexander.
00:42:24I have to do this.
00:42:45Does she leave?
00:42:46Yes, sir.
00:42:47Miss Emily has left to give up.
00:42:49Get the car ready.
00:42:50I want to know where she's going.
00:42:51I appreciate it, so I'll do that immediately.
00:43:01Miss Emily.
00:43:03Please, join me for a drink.
00:43:11Are you going to keep that mask on all night?
00:43:14Of course not.
00:43:16I've always been sincere with you.
00:43:26So, are you so eager to get down to business?
00:43:29Or would you like to set the mood first?
00:43:33I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:37Well, well.
00:43:43I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:47Well, well.
00:43:51It seems you're very capable of being an assistant and, might I say, entirely fitting as a spy.
00:43:57Well, it's not that difficult. And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:44:02You just show a little skin and be passionate in bed and express admiration.
00:44:07But you know what? I actually have a question for you that I've been wanting to ask.
00:44:12Why are you so interested in me?
00:44:14I mean, do you have a little crush?
00:44:17Because back in school when I was with Matthew, whether we were, you know, in class together or going on
00:44:22dates or in the cafeteria,
00:44:23I never saw you around. Were you secretly in love with me back then?
00:44:30Yes, I was. I've liked you from the start.
00:44:35But of course, my good friend Matthew got you first and I just didn't want to intrude.
00:44:42Later, I had health issues and I dropped out.
00:44:47It's a really good performance, mystery man.
00:44:50Performance? I'm being sincere with you.
00:44:53Right, but if you were Matthew's best friend, then you would have known that he never goes to the cafeteria
00:44:57because he thinks the food is bland.
00:44:59He doesn't like it. So he either cooks it or goes out.
00:45:09But don't worry. I'm gonna give you some time to think of a much better excuse and then you can
00:45:15have what you asked for.
00:45:16Okay?
00:45:17Just as I suspected, this person has something off about him.
00:45:20I need to get more information from Alexander.
00:45:24Emily, wait.
00:45:25Don't touch me.
00:45:26I can take you to see Matthew whenever you want to.
00:45:32Where is he?
00:45:34Well, when you get to see him depends entirely on your sincerity.
00:45:44It seems you may have been followed.
00:46:08What are you doing here?
00:46:10I think you owe me an explanation.
00:46:13Alexander, I...
00:46:14Emily!
00:46:15Hi!
00:46:15Thank you so much for coming to my birthday. I had so much fun.
00:46:21I'm Sophie.
00:46:22Right. Sophie, it's such a pleasure celebrating your big day with you.
00:46:26Emily, what's going on? Who are these girls?
00:46:29They're my friends. This is Sophie. It's her birthday. So we're having a little party.
00:46:34Emily, is this your boyfriend? So handsome.
00:46:41No, he's not my boyfriend. Um...
00:46:45He's my fiancé.
00:46:47Get in.
00:46:48What? You're leaving already? That's my birthday.
00:46:50Me and my fiancé have some private matters to discuss.
00:46:55Okay, it looks like I can't stay.
00:46:57So...
00:46:58Wow, uh, your fiancé is a little possessive.
00:47:01But come on, we're still having fun.
00:47:04Yeah, sorry about that. I'll have my assistant send you a gift.
00:47:09I'm sorry.
00:47:14Ladies, I have a small favor to ask you.
00:47:18I wonder if you could help me cover if you don't really need the door over there.
00:47:24Um...
00:47:27Of course.
00:47:29Handsome.
00:47:30You're pretty good at this.
00:47:37Okay, why did you come for me? Was there something urgent?
00:47:40Let's go. Get in the car.
00:47:59Okay.
00:48:00What is going on with you?
00:48:01You've been silent all night.
00:48:04Were you surprised to see me at the bar tonight?
00:48:05Emily.
00:48:06I mean, what were you thinking?
00:48:08Were you worried that the dose of the drug was too low?
00:48:13What are you talking about?
00:48:14I don't even know what you're saying right now.
00:48:16Emily.
00:48:17I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:26Emily.
00:48:28I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:32What do you want me to say?
00:48:34Why did you drug me?
00:48:35Why did you take the files off of my computer?
00:48:37And who are you meeting tonight?
00:48:39So you knew all along?
00:48:41What about the kindness that you've showed me for the last couple days?
00:48:44That... that was an act?
00:48:45No.
00:48:45Is this how you interrogate someone?
00:48:47Emily, just...
00:48:49Just tell me.
00:48:50Everyone has their secrets, Alexander.
00:48:53Emily.
00:48:54My patience is running thin.
00:48:57Just tell me.
00:48:58Look, all I can tell you is that I've done nothing to harm you.
00:49:01Okay?
00:49:01That USB cord didn't have any company secrets.
00:49:04It just had files that it was acting like a decoy.
00:49:06As for who I was with, I don't even know that person.
00:49:08Emily.
00:49:09Look, I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:10Emily, what are you trying to do?
00:49:15Before we continue, can we talk about your past?
00:49:19Maybe three years ago?
00:49:21Why do you want to talk about that?
00:49:23Just tell me.
00:49:23Just think of it as a way for me to get to know you better.
00:49:27I've already told you everything.
00:49:28I can't remember anything from that time.
00:49:30Right.
00:49:30You have amnesia.
00:49:31But those memories are important to me, so I was hoping that you could recall something.
00:49:35I'm not hiding anything.
00:49:37I have amnesia.
00:49:38That's the truth.
00:49:39I can't change it.
00:49:40I know.
00:49:41I understand that.
00:49:43And if that's how you want to forget, I guess I can't interfere with that.
00:49:46But I need to process my own feelings.
00:49:48Emily, what's happening?
00:49:50We can figure this out together.
00:49:52I don't even know what I want.
00:49:56I need time.
00:49:57I don't know what I want.
00:49:58I need time.
00:50:00Emily, just wait.
00:50:01Listen.
00:50:03I need time.
00:50:05I don't know what I believe.
00:50:08Emily, everything I'm telling you is the truth.
00:50:14I've lost my memories and I can't remember anything.
00:50:16But the feelings I have for you are true.
00:50:24What about the feelings for Bella?
00:50:26Are they real?
00:50:28What about the feelings for your twin brother?
00:50:31Twin brother?
00:50:32What are you talking about?
00:50:33You mean you don't have a brother?
00:50:35Someone that you care about?
00:50:36No.
00:50:36I don't have a brother.
00:50:37Why are you asking that?
00:50:42I don't know.
00:50:43I don't know.
00:50:43I just think that sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about Alexander.
00:50:47That's it.
00:50:51Sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about Alexander.
00:50:54That's it.
00:50:57They're both suspicious.
00:50:59Who should I trust?
00:51:01Alexander says he has amnesia but I don't believe it.
00:51:03And then Matthew seems to know things that I don't.
00:51:07What do I do?
00:51:09Emily.
00:51:11I will be by your side.
00:51:14And we can figure this out.
00:51:18I wish I could trust you.
00:51:30And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:51:33You just show a little skin.
00:51:36Oh, who would have thought that Alexander was deceived by the girl he trusts the very most?
00:51:43Thanks to your help, we can finally put Alexander in the trap we have set for him.
00:51:47What's the next step?
00:51:53Matter of fact, Emily's father told us.
00:51:58You mentioned before that Emily's father was a gambler, right?
00:52:01Correct.
00:52:02Oh, I look forward to seeing Alexander's reaction when he is thoroughly betrayed.
00:52:08Next time, I want them all on their knees begging me.
00:52:21Hey, Dad, what's going on?
00:52:24Hey, everything okay?
00:52:27Okay.
00:52:28That's my dad.
00:52:29He says I have to get back.
00:52:30It's urgent.
00:52:32Yeah, I'll come with you.
00:52:34Alexander, I'm sorry to interrupt your breakfast.
00:52:37There's something happening at the office.
00:52:39We might need you there immediately.
00:52:41Emily, I...
00:52:42No, no.
00:52:42You can handle your situation.
00:52:44I'm going to go be with my dad.
00:52:45Okay.
00:52:46Yeah, I'll finish up quickly and come see you.
00:52:47Okay.
00:52:55Hey, Dad, are you okay?
00:52:57It's nothing, Emily.
00:52:58I just missed you.
00:53:01Okay.
00:53:05Who was that?
00:53:06No one.
00:53:07Wrong number.
00:53:08Dad, just tell me.
00:53:10You're not still gambling again, are you?
00:53:12Emily, I...
00:53:15Gather.
00:53:18Don't worry, Miss Emily.
00:53:19We're just taking you as collateral for your father's debt.
00:53:22You really set me up as collateral, Dad?
00:53:23I'm your daughter?
00:53:24How could you do that?
00:53:25Emily, I'm so sorry.
00:53:27This is all my fault.
00:53:28Enough talk.
00:53:28Let's go.
00:53:29No!
00:53:30Dad!
00:53:42Well, well.
00:53:44We meet again.
00:53:46So it's you pulling the strings.
00:53:49Why are you accusing me?
00:53:51Your father's the one that owes us the money.
00:53:53What exactly do you want?
00:53:58I know you copied Alexander's confidential files.
00:54:02Hand them over and I'll make this easier on you.
00:54:06I don't know what you're talking about.
00:54:15Stop.
00:54:16Stop.
00:54:17Don't touch me.
00:54:18Stop!
00:54:20Stop!
00:54:23Stop!
00:54:27Here you go.
00:54:33It looks like we found what we're looking for.
00:54:39In this world, there are winners and losers.
00:54:44You, Emily, are the latter.
00:54:46Are you even thinking about the consequences of what you're doing, Cynthia?
00:54:49I don't care about consequences.
00:54:52Only results.
00:54:54And now, Alexander's secret is mine to use.
00:54:58And you, Emily.
00:55:02Didn't you see this was gonna happen?
00:55:04You and your father are simply pawns in my game.
00:55:07What you're doing is illegal.
00:55:10Law?
00:55:11I don't care about the law.
00:55:14Around here, my word is the law.
00:55:17And now, I'm gonna teach you a lesson you'll never forget.
00:55:24Don't worry, Miss Emily.
00:55:26We'll take good care of you.
00:55:28Stop!
00:55:33Alexander?
00:55:35Let her go.
00:55:36Alexander, you...
00:55:37How did you get here?
00:55:43You bastard!
00:55:52What are you doing? Get him!
00:55:57What are you doing? Get him!
00:55:58What are you doing? Get him!
00:56:02Emily!
00:56:04Hey, it's okay.
00:56:05Hey.
00:56:11Let's go. Let's go.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:13Do you think you've won, Alexander?
00:56:17Hey, are you okay?
00:56:18I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:56:20Alexander, you're hurt.
00:56:22Stay here. Call the police.
00:56:24They deserve what's coming to them.
00:56:27No. Alexander, please. I'm begging you.
00:56:30Let's go.
00:56:30No, no, no. We need to go to the hospital.
00:56:32Fine.
00:56:32No. You're bleeding.
00:56:34Okay, we need to see a doctor.
00:56:36Oh, my God. Alexander, wake up, wake up.
00:56:38Are you okay? Wake up.
00:56:47The patient has a mild concussion. It's not severe. Don't worry, Miss Emily.
00:56:52Okay, but it's been a day already and he's still unconscious.
00:56:55Yes, we haven't encountered a case quite like this.
00:56:58We don't have all the answers yet.
00:57:01All we can do at this point is observe.
00:57:03Oh, my gosh.
00:57:09Alexander, please wake up.
00:57:12I can't do this without you.
00:57:15I love you.
00:57:16I love you, okay?
00:57:17So please just wake up so that I can explain everything to you.
00:57:27Hey.
00:57:28Hey.
00:57:29Hey.
00:57:30Are you okay?
00:57:33Hey.
00:57:34Hi.
00:57:36You okay?
00:57:38Yeah.
00:57:39I'm fine, but we're in the hospital and you're safe.
00:57:42I missed you.
00:57:47Doctor, you came at the right time.
00:57:49Why are you here?
00:57:54Why are you here?
00:57:55Where are the bodyguards?
00:57:56What?
00:57:57Them?
00:57:58I thought they were working too hard, so I just let them nap.
00:58:01I'm sure Mr. Alexander here wouldn't mind that, right?
00:58:04Emily, take a step back.
00:58:06You know what he's capable of.
00:58:08Okay, don't blame him.
00:58:09I'm the one that ruined your plans, okay?
00:58:11It wasn't him.
00:58:13You know, I do have mixed feelings, aren't you?
00:58:16Hey, that's enough.
00:58:17Alright then.
00:58:18It seems I don't have much time, so let's just get down to it, shall we?
00:58:22I'm not here as your enemy.
00:58:24I just came to give you a warning.
00:58:26I don't care what you have to say.
00:58:28The warning is to never trust the people closest to you.
00:58:32And the truth is...
00:58:35And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:58:37You just show a little skin and be passionate.
00:58:44The truth is...
00:58:45And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:58:47You just show a little skin and be passionate.
00:58:50You have to let me explain, Alexander.
00:58:55Emily, I will be by your side.
00:58:59And we can figure this out.
00:59:04Okay.
00:59:05You know, you are something else, Alex.
00:59:08Staying so calm and collected, even when the person you care about most betrays you.
00:59:12I don't believe you.
00:59:13Come on, man.
00:59:14I almost feel sorry for you.
00:59:16Do you know when your sweetheart and I started getting together?
00:59:19No, he's lying.
00:59:20Please don't believe him, Alexander.
00:59:22It was at Cynthia's family banquet.
00:59:25She killed me first.
00:59:27Oh, and did I forget to mention that?
00:59:28She helped me escape.
00:59:31If it wasn't for her, I probably would have been caught.
00:59:33Take him away.
00:59:36One last thing.
00:59:40Emily, always saw you as a stand-in lover.
00:59:47Emily, always saw you as a stand-in lover.
00:59:54I have to walk myself, gentlemen.
00:59:57Oh, my lord will be here in five minutes.
01:00:00Please give them a coffee.
01:00:03Sir, what about this one?
01:00:05It's not what it looks like, okay?
01:00:06I hadn't decided.
01:00:07Decided to lie to me?
01:00:08No!
01:00:09This whole thing has been a lie.
01:00:10You've won, Emily.
01:00:12You don't have to pretend anymore.
01:00:14From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
01:00:17Please make sure Emily finds her way out.
01:00:19Time to go, miss.
01:00:21I know I deserve this.
01:00:24But I just wanted to tell you.
01:00:28I love you.
01:00:32Come on.
01:00:38Oh.
01:00:44Oh.
01:00:46Oh.
01:00:47Oh.
01:00:49Oh, shit.
01:00:56Oh.
01:00:57Oh.
01:01:00You signed for class for today? Professor Mary is super near sight. I don't think she noticed. Did you skip
01:01:05like every class last semester?
01:01:07Yeah, but you know, what's the point of attendance?
01:01:11I'm gonna inherit the family business anyways after I graduate and there's like no point. You're in a rich business
01:01:16too. A rich family. Why do you, I mean...
01:01:19Dude.
01:01:21I'll cover for you. Room 403?
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:29Matthew?
01:01:31Here?
01:01:34Hi. I'm Emily.
01:01:38Hi. I'm...
01:01:41Matthew.
01:01:48So I always find the Wilde's poems beautifully melancholic. Do you like them, Matthew?
01:01:53I do, actually. Yeah.
01:01:55Yeah. You know, I've been wanting to...
01:02:01I've been wanting to tell you my...
01:02:02Actually...
01:02:03Oh, sorry. Actually, I have to go help my professor with a project, but let's meet up again soon?
01:02:08Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
01:02:09Okay.
01:02:10Yeah, see you soon.
01:02:11Bye.
01:02:14It's been like this since we were kids.
01:02:17Taking all the attention for yourself.
01:02:20Bro.
01:02:21Why are you standing there?
01:02:22Sorry, I was just, uh...
01:02:23I was gonna come and ask if you wanted to go and get something to eat.
01:02:29This is to celebrate the one-month anniversary of our friendship.
01:02:34I'll keep it safe.
01:02:37Matthew, you were my first friend in college.
01:02:40That's sweet of you to say.
01:02:45See you.
01:02:50Bye.
01:02:53I don't know.
01:03:34Chris, find some guys and pressure that man, Thomas, Emily's dad. Pressure him for his debt. Use any means necessary.
01:03:51Oh, that's strange. Where is everybody?
01:04:00Oh, Alex. A girl named Emily said she wants to meet you in the park later.
01:04:13Hey, Matthew!
01:04:16Wait, she should have known my name is Alexander.
01:04:19You made me do this, Alex.
01:04:32Matthew? Are you okay?
01:04:34Oh my god.
01:04:36Somebody help!
01:04:37Please!
01:04:46Matthew? Are you okay? Oh my god.
01:04:50Somebody help!
01:04:51Please!
01:05:01Emily. I left you from the very beginning.
01:05:06Sir, the doctor said you have to rest.
01:05:08Where is she? Where'd she go?
01:05:10She just ran out, sir.
01:05:12Go find her.
01:05:13Start an investigation on Matthew and Deville family.
01:05:21What is going on with me? Why am I so sad?
01:05:25I thought this was what I wanted.
01:05:32Okay.
01:05:33We're gonna confront our feelings.
01:05:35We're gonna talk to him and make everything clear.
01:05:39Yeah, I'm not gonna miss my chance.
01:05:44Emily!
01:05:46I remember everything from three years ago.
01:05:48I took my roommate's place to attend his class and I never had the chance to tell you.
01:05:53I'm your Matthew. We've always loved each other.
01:05:55But as you know, my real name's Alex.
01:06:00I've never gotten you out of my head.
01:06:02I've missed you so much.
01:06:04I love you.
01:06:09You two can stop the tragic love story now.
01:06:13You've been lucky getting away from me, but I'm not gonna let it happen this time.
01:06:28Watch out!
01:06:32Watch out!
01:06:33I'll say to you!
01:06:38Damn it!
01:06:40Didn't I already pay off these cops?
01:06:48What are you doing?
01:06:50What are you doing?
01:06:51You're under arrest for attempted murder and human traffic.
01:06:55Bullshit!
01:06:56Give me no evidence!
01:06:57You have the right to remain silent.
01:06:59Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
01:07:02You have the right to an attorney, and that attorney can be present at any questioning.
01:07:07If you do not afford an attorney, one will be provided at the government's expense.
01:07:12Alexander's assistance provided us with all the evidence linking you and the DeVille family to human trafficking through the gambling
01:07:17den.
01:07:18It will also prove that you intentionally ran someone over three years ago.
01:07:21So you and the DeVille family will most likely be sitting in front of your brother real soon.
01:07:26Alexander!
01:07:26Alexander!
01:07:26I hate you!
01:07:28I hate you!
01:07:29I hate you!
