00:00:02I don't know what you think true love is, but for me, it's always been Dylan and me.
00:00:07There's nothing I love more than cheering him on.
00:00:10When he's in the ring, chasing his dream, I'm always right there with him.
00:00:16One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:00:26Dylan Vance successfully defending his fifth world title.
00:00:32Dylan and I, we were in love for three years.
00:00:36I thought we'd be happy forever until my debt-ridden father ruined everything.
00:00:46Dylan, I have something to tell you.
00:00:49Since your father ghosted us, it seems I'll have to ask you to pay the debt on his behalf.
00:00:57Dylan!
00:00:59Are you okay? Who the fuck is it?
00:01:03Dylan, where's your back?
00:01:06Dylan!
00:01:10Mrs. Vance, how is he?
00:01:13How dare you show your face in here?
00:01:16If it weren't for you, my son would still be in the family business instead of ruining his life for
00:01:22that filthy sport.
00:01:24But boxing is his dream.
00:01:27Dream?
00:01:28You've done nothing but run him down a rabbit hole.
00:01:31That nerve damage ruined his leg.
00:01:34Are you happy now?
00:01:37You should know. My son hates you. The sight of you makes him sick.
00:01:43No. No, that's not true.
00:01:46He told me himself. You ruined his life. Now get out of here!
00:02:03Baby, I am so sorry. Daddy doesn't want us anymore.
00:02:17It's been five years since I last came here.
00:02:21Ava?
00:02:22Are you sure you're not asking Dylan?
00:02:24Half a million for surgery is not a small thing.
00:02:27She's his daughter. He has to help.
00:02:29They can't know about Alice.
00:02:31He'd take her away from me. He hates me.
00:02:37I'll land this business. You don't pay for her surgery.
00:02:40Trust me. I got this.
00:03:04Sir Vance, impressive as always.
00:03:07The fight's not over.
00:03:20Another 10 million.
00:03:24Sir Vance, they say that your fiancé died to you. Is that right?
00:03:34I'm not.
00:03:35No.
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41Aahhhh.
00:03:42Dylan, Dylan!
00:03:44Look at this...
00:03:49Mom...
00:03:50Did it ever come today?
00:03:52Dylan, my dear stop.
00:03:54Stop thinking about her.
00:03:56You know the answer already.
00:03:59If she really cared,
00:04:00She would have been here already.
00:04:10Dylan!
00:04:17Ava, you better pray you never see me again.
00:04:24I'm awfully curious about my private life, Mr. Dyson.
00:04:30My bad. I'm sorry.
00:04:32If I ever see her again,
00:04:34I'll be sure to make her life a living hell.
00:04:38A million dollars deal like this.
00:04:41You really don't know why they picked up this?
00:04:44That pretty little face.
00:04:46You're making man want to ruin you.
00:04:49Oh, don't do this, please! Somebody help! Help!
00:05:00The hell? You're looking to die?
00:05:03Dylan?
00:05:07Why is he here?
00:05:14Who are you to stop me?
00:05:16You're just a sales girl who'll hop into the bat for any contract.
00:05:19Dyson! You're the boss here! Tell him to let me go!
00:05:22Are you a fucking idiot?
00:05:24The whole place is for Mr. Vance.
00:05:28You wanna die? Fine, go ahead.
00:05:30But don't ever think to drag me down with you.
00:05:34Drag him out. Break the hand that touched him.
00:05:37No, please!
00:05:41Mr. Vance, we will live it to you.
00:05:47Five years, Ava.
00:05:49Now you're selling yourself out.
00:05:52I didn't think you could stoop any lower.
00:05:56Look at me!
00:05:58Did you ever care about me?
00:06:01Let go, you're hurting me.
00:06:15Let me down!
00:06:19Get rid of it.
00:06:20What?
00:06:21Oh no, I'm not getting naked.
00:06:23I'm not selling my body!
00:06:24Selling your body?
00:06:28What?
00:06:37I can put the bandages on me.
00:06:39Shut up!
00:06:45But...
00:06:46Denny, you hate me?
00:06:48Then why...
00:06:49are you doing this?
00:06:52Thanks.
00:07:01It's Alice!
00:07:03I can't back up now!
00:07:06Sweetheart?
00:07:08That's not your boyfriend?
00:07:10That's not my boyfriend.
00:07:11Your husband?
00:07:17Yes, that's my husband.
00:07:21Yes, that's my husband.
00:07:21Are you insane?
00:07:25Husband, huh?
00:07:27Call me not ever so sweet, just like you used to love my name.
00:07:31I appreciate you saving me, Mr. Vance, but my personal life is none of your concern.
00:07:38None of my business!
00:07:42You see the scar?
00:07:43You remember that?
00:07:44I almost died for you!
00:07:45I missed my life!
00:07:47I mean, Kate is a constant reminder of that!
00:07:50Yes, you saved me back then, but now I have a husband, I have a child, we are different people
00:07:56now!
00:07:57No!
00:08:01No!
00:08:03No!
00:08:06No!
00:08:07No!
00:08:13But...
00:08:14She's all alone out there still limping. It does not look safe, sir. Call her a cat.
00:08:21Just make sure she doesn't know it's for me. Yes, sir.
00:08:32After surgery you need a good rest, okay?
00:08:39Sweetheart,
00:08:41Do you want a dad?
00:08:46No, I just want my mommy.
00:08:50Good.
00:08:52Your mommy only wants you two.
00:08:57Dylan, please don't come back into our lives.
00:09:01All I need is a quiet life with Alice.
00:09:14Thanks for bringing Alice for a doctor's appointment, John. You're too kind to us.
00:09:18If you need help with the hospital bill, I've got some spare cash.
00:09:22Thank you, John, but you know I can't accept that.
00:09:25Well, at least let me do this.
00:09:27It's a full princess set for Alice.
00:09:30Wow.
00:09:32It's so cute.
00:09:34You're really going to like this.
00:09:46We'll wait for the next one.
00:09:59Ava Reed.
00:10:01I didn't expect to see you here.
00:10:04Funny.
00:10:05Me neither.
00:10:10So you still got that nervous tick.
00:10:13How could I not be nervous?
00:10:15If you see Alice and figure out she's yours, what am I supposed to do?
00:10:20I'm not nervous, but you do get on my nerves.
00:10:24Being around people I can't stand makes me physically sick.
00:10:31Hey there, little one.
00:10:34My name's Dylan.
00:10:36Hi, I'm Alice.
00:10:41If you ever had a kid, what would you name them?
00:10:44Well, if it's a boy.
00:10:46Maybe Oliver.
00:10:48What about for a girl?
00:10:52Maybe Alice?
00:10:54I think that's a pretty name.
00:11:02Alice, your daughter?
00:11:07Yes.
00:11:09Nice name.
00:11:10Yeah, I think so.
00:11:12John thinks so too, right John?
00:11:14Of course.
00:11:21Touching.
00:11:23Five years and you've built yourself a family.
00:11:26Well, people move on when they're pushed away, right?
00:11:31Right.
00:11:33You always did take the easy road.
00:11:40Let's go.
00:11:58She's already with someone else.
00:12:00So why can't I forget her?
00:12:16I want to wake up looking at this face forever.
00:12:23I want to wake up looking at this face forever.
00:12:31I swear I'll never see her again.
00:12:58I swear I'll never see her again.
00:12:59I don't know.
00:13:01It's just a sec of four.
00:13:03Stop!
00:13:05Stop!
00:13:08Stop!
00:13:09Stop!
00:13:15Stop!
00:13:16Stop!
00:13:18Stop!
00:13:30Let me take them all to the station, I gotta get them to the hospital, come on Al, come on,
00:13:34it's okay, it's okay, let's go, let's go.
00:13:52She'll be okay, I called the best surgeons in the city, they're ready.
00:13:59Wait, Dylan, you're awake.
00:14:02About that, I...
00:14:06Nurse, is she gonna be okay?
00:14:08Your daughter needs an emergency blood transfusion now, but she has a red blood type.
00:14:12I'm O negative, just take mine, alright?
00:14:14Sir, are you the child's father?
00:14:16A donor from a direct relative can trigger a fatal rejection.
00:14:19Okay, good, I'm not.
00:14:20Wait, no, no, no, you can't.
00:14:23Don't let your grudges get in the way of me saving your daughter's life, what are you talking about?
00:14:27Every second we delay raises the risk, she needs the blood.
00:14:30Did you hear what she said?
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:33No, you really can't.
00:14:35Ava, why, why can't I?
00:14:37Because you can't give Alice blood, because you are Alice's real father.
00:14:47I'm ready, just take my blood.
00:14:51Dylan, no!
00:14:54Good news, the blood is being secured, and it's on its way.
00:15:02Ava, I don't understand, why are you gambling your daughter's life because you don't want me to give her my
00:15:08blood?
00:15:08What's up?
00:15:10I...
00:15:11I...
00:15:12I don't want your blood in my daughter, okay?
00:15:15I am her mother, you don't get to judge me!
00:15:20Ava!
00:15:22You okay?
00:15:23How's my little princess out?
00:15:25I'm fine.
00:15:26She's still in surgery, but, John, if anything happens to her...
00:15:30Don't say that.
00:15:31She'll be okay.
00:15:33I'm right here with you.
00:15:36Well, this looks like a family moment.
00:15:44Fine.
00:15:46Keep hating me, Dylan.
00:15:47I won't let you take her away from me.
00:15:50Not now.
00:15:51Not ever.
00:16:04You should be home.
00:16:05You're on the jet lag.
00:16:07I'll buy you some lunch.
00:16:08I figured I'd go to a money workplace.
00:16:10It's your favourite pasta for a beverage make.
00:16:17We're industry titans.
00:16:20Why are we lowering ourselves to work with some no-name firm?
00:16:29You're insurance doesn't cover this.
00:16:32We'll need to deliver payment in full, or we cannot perform the surgery on her.
00:16:36You've got one week.
00:16:37With no delays.
00:16:46I'll get you your money.
00:16:47I swear I will.
00:16:55Yes, it's me.
00:16:57The final way it works.
00:17:05Never in my wildest dreams did I think that Vance Group would work with us.
00:17:10And the project manager gets a million dollar bonus.
00:17:13Whoever that lucky person is.
00:17:21Oh my god.
00:17:23He looks like he walked straight out of a GQ cover.
00:17:26And look GQ lady.
00:17:28Future Mrs. Vance.
00:17:30Right next to him.
00:17:35Ava.
00:17:36He's a billionaire now.
00:17:37And you're just a single mom.
00:17:40Little Ally.
00:17:41She's the only thing that matters now.
00:17:44Mr. Vance.
00:17:45About the project.
00:17:46I would like to recommend myself.
00:17:53I'm so focused.
00:17:55What's going on?
00:18:02Nothing.
00:18:03What's so shameful?
00:18:04Are you trying to hide something?
00:18:06Just a screen saver.
00:18:08You're being pretty secretive for a screen saver.
00:18:11It's my computer.
00:18:12I'll show whoever I damn want what.
00:18:15Great.
00:18:16Just great.
00:18:17Why is he so focused on her?
00:18:19She's just a low level staffer.
00:18:23Mr. Vance.
00:18:24May I recommend our top sales lead?
00:18:28No need.
00:18:29I want her.
00:18:35Of course, Mr. Vance.
00:18:40Let's start the meeting.
00:18:43Um.
00:18:43Mr. Vance.
00:18:45Regarding the-
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:47Do you need me to grab you a megaphone?
00:18:49Ms. Reed?
00:18:51You were plenty loud out there.
00:18:53Reed?
00:18:54Ava Reed?
00:19:01She does-
00:19:02Did your team always hire people who can't speak in meetings or what?
00:19:06Hey.
00:19:08Why waste your energy on a-
00:19:11Nobody.
00:19:12That's brilliant, Ms. Sharp.
00:19:14Don't waste your anger on her.
00:19:16Get it together, Ava.
00:19:18They're from a different world.
00:19:20Finish the deal.
00:19:22Pay for little Allie's surgery.
00:19:26You're right.
00:19:27I wasn't good enough.
00:19:29I let you down.
00:19:32I deeply apologize, Mr. Vance.
00:19:35Any dissatisfaction is on us.
00:19:39What the hell is wrong with you?
00:19:40Is this how you report?
00:19:41Do you not care about this job?
00:19:42Do you want to get the hell out of here?
00:19:44Is that it?
00:19:45Enough!
00:19:47Did I say I wasn't satisfied?
00:19:51Mr. Vance.
00:19:53Look, I'm satisfied.
00:19:55Okay?
00:19:56The deal is set.
00:19:59When can you start, Ms. Reed?
00:20:02Any day but Friday.
00:20:04I need to be with my family.
00:20:10Family?
00:20:11I'm right here with you.
00:20:15Can't bear being apart from your husband for even a minute, huh?
00:20:19Well, that's rough.
00:20:20Because we've been outdoor retreat that weekend.
00:20:22Friday through Sunday.
00:20:24It's mandatory.
00:20:27No, but I...
00:20:29No exceptions.
00:20:31If you can't make it, the deal's off.
00:20:42Okay.
00:20:42Okay.
00:20:45Well?
00:20:53You seemed pretty soft on that female employee.
00:20:57You're overthinking it.
00:21:04I've never seen him wear this before.
00:21:07Ever.
00:21:11He had it custom made.
00:21:14Seven figures for her.
00:21:16Oh, but don't worry.
00:21:18He told me it doesn't matter anymore.
00:21:25If it doesn't matter, why keep wearing it?
00:21:29Did you two know each other before?
00:21:32You're crossing a line, Angela.
00:21:35I warned you.
00:21:37You may get the marriage, but you'll never get my love.
00:21:40It's a transaction.
00:21:42Don't forget that.
00:21:43Sorry, I just, um...
00:21:51Give everything you can on a woman named Ava Reed.
00:21:53Yes, now.
00:22:06What's your husband up to today?
00:22:08How's that any of your business?
00:22:11I mean, people who really love each other,
00:22:14going three days without seeing each other is brutal.
00:22:17You know?
00:22:20Oh!
00:22:21You stupid?
00:22:27Oh my goodness.
00:22:37Are you stupid?
00:22:38You stupid?
00:22:42Thanks.
00:22:43Of course.
00:22:44Would you be more careful enough, son?
00:22:47Here.
00:22:49What's your favorite?
00:22:50You should eat.
00:22:52He still takes care of people the same way he used to.
00:23:01Thanks.
00:23:02For the steak.
00:23:04Here, you should have some.
00:23:13Maybe he doesn't hate me anymore.
00:23:16Maybe he doesn't hate me anymore.
00:23:16If Alice stayed with him,
00:23:18she'd have the best doctors, the best future, and...
00:23:22I...
00:23:22I can still see her.
00:23:25Even if it's only sometimes.
00:23:30Sir, please just maintain professional distance.
00:23:37Dylan?
00:23:37Dylan?
00:23:38Dylan is her kid's father?
00:23:44Erase everything you have on Eva Reed, right now.
00:23:51Miss Reed, did you hear the chat?
00:23:53Sorry, you're not telling me.
00:23:54Not even if it's about your daughter's bone neurotransplant?
00:24:02Such a beautiful little girl going through something as brutal as leukemia.
00:24:06It just breaks my heart.
00:24:08How does she know?
00:24:09Oh!
00:24:13Why are you even bringing this up right now?
00:24:15Relax.
00:24:16I just need your help.
00:24:18My necklace Dylan bought me.
00:24:20My engagement necklace.
00:24:22I dropped all my ribs over there earlier.
00:24:24Can you help me find it?
00:24:26But it's almost dark and...
00:24:28Those woods are full of wolves!
00:24:30Of course.
00:24:31You'll always have a choice, but...
00:24:33The only perfect match to your daughter's bone marrow transplant is in my hands, so...
00:24:38How did you even get that?
00:24:41I know Dylan is the dad.
00:24:44What?
00:24:47How do you know that?
00:24:49What do you want from me?
00:24:51Keep your mouth shut, and the bone marrow transplant will go smoothly.
00:24:55If you say anything, this will disappear forever.
00:24:57She's an innocent child.
00:24:59I'm sure she does deserve better.
00:25:02But if Dylan finds out,
00:25:03I can barely stand the sight of you.
00:25:07You'll never see her again.
00:25:10Fine.
00:25:10You don't have to worry about me, okay?
00:25:12I won't say anything.
00:25:13Just please...
00:25:14Don't hurt my child.
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:16Now, go fetch my necklace.
00:25:18Puppy.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:22Once night falls, you're on your own.
00:25:25And Dylan...
00:25:26Tonight, he's mine.
00:25:37You hungry?
00:25:38I'm not hungry.
00:25:40Come on.
00:25:41I really should eat it.
00:25:42Mr. Vance, who are you to care about me?
00:25:45Your kindness is something I cannot afford.
00:25:47What is...
00:25:49What's up with you?
00:25:50Just stay away from me.
00:25:51You are...
00:25:52You're not a part of my life.
00:25:55What the hell happened?
00:25:57I really thought we were finally talking again.
00:26:07I haven't seen Ava read.
00:26:09Stop looking!
00:26:11I saw her hiding in the corner.
00:26:12I'm hardly talking to her sweet husband.
00:26:15She can't go a minute without that man.
00:26:18She rushed off just to report her date to him.
00:26:21Come on, look at the plans I've made for us tonight.
00:26:34I found it.
00:26:36I found it.
00:26:43I found it.
00:26:44Oh my god...
00:26:54It's disgusting.
00:26:56I don't mean it.
00:27:00Oh my gosh.
00:27:03I have...
00:27:03I have to...
00:27:03Don't leave me. Welcome to the concert.
00:27:14Where is she?
00:27:15She can't be still on that call.
00:27:17Boss.
00:27:18Ava Reed went into the woods this afternoon. No one has seen her after that.
00:27:27Fuck.
00:27:30What are you doing? Everyone is okay.
00:27:34Where is Ava?
00:27:35She was talking to her husband.
00:27:40Five teams go up the mountain.
00:27:42Two helicopters with thermal imaging. Get them here now. Move now!
00:27:46They'll be here in 30.
00:27:48That's too damn long. Give me the flashlight.
00:27:53What's up with the boss? He hates her.
00:27:55But the minute she goes missing, he launches helicopters. Uncanny.
00:28:00Boss, you can't go alone. It's too dangerous.
00:28:03Shut up!
00:28:09Ava! Ava, where are you?
00:28:11Ava!
00:28:17Ava!
00:28:17Dylan! Dylan! There are wolves here!
00:28:22Bigger, whatever you do.
00:28:25Don't make a move, okay?
00:28:27And stay silent.
00:28:29Just trust me.
00:28:30Ava!
00:28:57Come on, I got you.
00:29:03Thank you for coming for me.
00:29:07What was all that you were saying back there?
00:29:09Why did you leave all alone?
00:29:11What happened?
00:29:14Thank you, Mr. Vance.
00:29:16I owe you for the rescue, but the rest...
00:29:18I don't have to explain anything to you.
00:29:22What is happening?
00:29:25Oh my God, I lost it.
00:29:28I have to find it.
00:29:31Are you insane?
00:29:32You'd rather risk your life for a little trinket?
00:29:35I could buy you a hundred of those damn things.
00:29:37Let go, this one's different.
00:29:39Why?
00:29:40That guy get it for you?
00:29:41So you'd rather risk your life and let it go?
00:29:44It's the pendant I prayed with when I begged for Alice's life five years ago.
00:29:48It was more to me than my own.
00:29:50Wait.
00:29:51We split five years ago.
00:29:54That little girl, Alice, your daughter.
00:29:58Is she five?
00:30:02Oh no.
00:30:04Sorry.
00:30:07John gave it to me when I was pregnant.
00:30:09He said he would protect being a baby.
00:30:11So the moment we split, she fell for him, got pregnant?
00:30:14Just like that?
00:30:15And what the hell was I to do all these years, Ava?
00:30:19Fine.
00:30:20I'll help you find it.
00:30:22But Avery, this is the last time I clean up one of your messes.
00:30:30Hey!
00:30:34I thought you were leaving.
00:30:36I'm not going to let you die on this mountain.
00:30:39Come on.
00:30:39Get on it.
00:30:42You're late.
00:30:44Don't make me repeat myself.
00:30:46Come on.
00:30:52What's that?
00:30:54Thanks.
00:30:54Shut up. Save your strength.
00:31:11Thought you were real tough back there, huh?
00:31:16Yeah, that's an old injury. Had it for a while.
00:31:21Just worry about yourself, okay?
00:31:26If the accident never happened, if he didn't grow to hate me because of it,
00:31:31maybe we could have had something beautiful.
00:31:37You pull away like I burn you, Ava. What are you so scared of?
00:31:48What are you doing here?
00:31:49The doctor said your old injury flared up. I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
00:31:53It's still the same, just like when you saved that stray kitten years ago.
00:31:57Thank you. Sorry to trouble you this late.
00:32:00Of course. Just, I mean, as your future fiance, I just wanted to, um, make sure all Vance employees were
00:32:06okay.
00:32:07Just as long as they remember to know their place.
00:32:11Is that so?
00:32:17Am I being bad? I just want to take care of you.
00:32:23If you say so.
00:32:25What do you think, Mrs. Reed?
00:32:26He loves her now. Wake up, Ava.
00:32:29Don't be pathetic.
00:32:31Boss, you have a call from Switzerland.
00:32:43I'm sure she does deserve better.
00:32:45But if Dylan finds out that he can barely stand the sight of you, you'll never see her again.
00:32:52This is insane.
00:32:54I can't let Dylan discover Alice.
00:32:56No one will take her away from me.
00:33:06I got a private jet for you.
00:33:08He's in 30 minutes.
00:33:09I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:33:11John's picking me up.
00:33:13Batman?
00:33:14He can't even afford a private doctor.
00:33:16You're gonna let him take his beat-up car across three states with your broken leg?
00:33:21You're kidding me, right?
00:33:23I appreciate your concern, but as my boss, it is totally out of line.
00:33:34Hey, John.
00:33:35Yeah, thanks for picking me up tomorrow.
00:33:37Is Alice eating okay?
00:33:41Someone?
00:33:43No, there's no one here.
00:33:44I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:33:51But I hate to interrupt family time.
00:33:52Seems like you got a lot of time to spare, huh?
00:33:55So, yeah, I wanted to get a full pitch deck and a sales proposal.
00:34:01It's due Monday morning for the meeting.
00:34:05Are you insane?
00:34:06You know my entry isn't even healed.
00:34:10Insane?
00:34:12Turn in the proposal.
00:34:16Or turn in your resignation.
00:34:32Yeah, Jimmy.
00:34:34Book that private jet for it.
00:34:36I want everyone to know that I'm nice to my employees.
00:34:51Oh my god, that stupid little pest, she just won't go away.
00:35:00Yeah, Martha?
00:35:02Um, Dylan, it's just been so out of sorts lately.
00:35:14Mother, I didn't know you were dropping by.
00:35:17Is everything okay?
00:35:17The house is too quiet.
00:35:20No one to share afternoon tea with.
00:35:24I just wish there were little children running around again.
00:35:29Just say it.
00:35:31So, when are you gonna settle down with Angela?
00:35:34I pray every day that you start a real family.
00:35:39Mom, we've talked about this before, okay?
00:35:42I'm not ready yet.
00:35:44It'll happen in due time.
00:35:46Mom, you're still seeing that woman.
00:35:49Her child is not even little anymore.
00:35:52I still remember when you ran-
