00:00:05Harris is going to freak out. He still thinks I'm in New York for that seminar.
00:00:22Faster. Harris, faster.
00:00:44You said that law would matter.
00:00:48Objection! Your Honor, the evidence has been tampered with.
00:00:51Denied.
00:01:02You said that law would matter.
00:01:05It does matter.
00:01:07I'm sorry.
00:01:09Listen.
00:01:10I'm sorry.
00:01:11I'm sorry!
00:01:15Hey, guys, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:18Wait.
00:01:44What the floor's doing?
00:01:52Where's my room?
00:01:54What the floor looks familiar?
00:02:00It must be you.
00:02:07Handsome?
00:02:09Are you all right?
00:02:12Hello, Handsome.
00:02:21Are you all right?
00:02:24What are you doing in my room?
00:02:37Harris?
00:02:38You can cheat like that.
00:02:41I'm just going to be unfaithful.
00:02:44Harris?
00:02:45Harris?
00:02:58Back to you.
00:02:59You can't be unfaithful.
00:03:11You can't be unfaithful.
00:03:16I just want to go back home
00:03:21Back to home
00:03:49Professor Mansfield, my criminal law professor
00:03:52I just hooked up with my professor
00:04:41I just hooked up with my professor
00:04:44Maybe Professor Mansfield was too drunk
00:04:46To recognize me last night
00:04:55Morning class
00:04:56I hope you all had a lovely weekend
00:04:58I certainly did
00:05:00Alright, please turn to page 31
00:05:03I believe chapter 6
00:05:04And start at the top
00:05:06Miss Kent
00:05:08After class, my office
00:05:12Oh, okay
00:05:25Did you sleep well last night, Miss Kent?
00:05:28Professor
00:05:29I can explain last night
00:05:31You know, I always thought that you were one of the more
00:05:33Well-behaved students
00:05:34One of the best in fact
00:05:38But it turns out
00:05:43You can be a little forgetful
00:06:01What is it, Miss Kent?
00:06:02Extra credit
00:06:11Or are you just
00:06:15In love with me?
00:06:18Your own
00:06:19Professor
00:06:30Don't flatter yourself, Miss Kent
00:06:32I don't have time for such clumsy childish games
00:06:36No, this
00:06:38This was just
00:06:40A mistake
00:06:41It won't happen again
00:06:43I won't
00:06:44Bother you
00:06:45Anymore
00:06:54Can you believe it?
00:06:55Harris Morrison
00:06:56Got engaged to Flora Mansfield
00:06:58She's barely out of college
00:06:59And she's already married as CEO
00:07:01Ugh
00:07:01Rich people
00:07:02Even their love lives make headlines
00:07:06That woman in Harris' bedroom
00:07:07Was Flora Mansfield
00:07:09That's Professor Mansfield's sister
00:07:11God, what have I done?
00:07:32Claire
00:07:33Where were you last night?
00:07:35It's a long story
00:07:37What's wrong?
00:07:39Your father
00:07:42Harris Morrison is a monster
00:07:44Three years ago
00:07:45His company was on the verge of bankruptcy
00:07:47But because he was dating you
00:07:49Your father invested in the company
00:07:51To try to keep Morrison Group afloat
00:07:53But now
00:07:54It
00:07:54Now
00:07:56Wow
00:07:57Stop
00:07:57Harris and I aren't even
00:07:59I thought instead of being grateful
00:08:01He threw your father in jail today
00:08:04Remember
00:08:05He announced his engagement
00:08:07What?
00:08:13Calm down
00:08:13I'll talk to Harris
00:08:15We've been together for four years now
00:08:17How cool can he be?
00:08:18Claire
00:08:19There you are
00:08:23Long time no see
00:08:25You ungrateful bastard
00:08:27Get out of my house
00:08:28Leave
00:08:29My mom
00:08:30Out of this
00:08:30Let's talk somewhere else
00:08:37It'll be okay
00:08:40I saw the gate, Claire
00:08:41You shouldn't have done that
00:08:43Why lie to me?
00:08:45Why bring her here?
00:08:46You used my family
00:08:48My father helped your company survive
00:08:50Marriage
00:08:51Doesn't mean love
00:08:52But business
00:08:54Requires sacrifices
00:08:56People are expendables, Claire
00:09:00If you really love me
00:09:02Why is my father in prison?
00:09:03How the hell could all of this have happened?
00:09:05There's a large deficit in our cash flow, dear
00:09:08We have to put the blame on someone
00:09:09No matter who it is
00:09:11But he had nothing to do with this
00:09:13Harris
00:09:16I know
00:09:17We're broken up
00:09:18But think of all the time we spent together
00:09:21My parents treated you like family
00:09:23I'm begging you
00:09:25Please
00:09:26Just let my father go
00:09:27Stay with me quietly
00:09:29For five years
00:09:31And your family is safe
00:09:33So I can fix this
00:09:35I can make your father disappear from that cell
00:09:38But
00:09:39Nothing in this world is free
00:09:41Are you crazy?
00:09:43You want me to buy my father's freedom?
00:09:46With myself?
00:09:49Call it protection
00:09:50Yeah
00:09:57You think I am a prostitute?
00:09:59Suit yourself
00:10:00Remember
00:10:01Your father's life
00:10:03Is in your hands now
00:10:05You're a smart girl, aren't you?
00:10:07You should know what the right choice is
00:10:09See what you're doing, Harris
00:10:12Even if I agreed to be your mistress
00:10:15What happens five years from now
00:10:17The moment you find someone younger
00:10:19Or prettier
00:10:20You'll destroy my family without a second thought
00:10:23After all
00:10:24You can't risk the Mansfield family
00:10:26Finding out about us, can you?
00:10:28I'll find the best lawyer in L.A.
00:10:30To represent my father
00:10:32I know he's innocent
00:10:34Right
00:10:36Don't be naive, Claire
00:10:37No one's going to touch your case
00:10:39Get out of my house
00:10:43Remember
00:10:45This is your choice
00:10:50How did everything fall apart so fast?
00:11:00And yet
00:11:01He's the only card I have left
00:11:12Please
00:11:13God
00:11:20Professor Mansfield
00:11:24I'm sorry
00:11:25Who the hell are you?
00:11:27You never learned to knock or what, you little brat?
00:11:30I'm so sorry, ma'am
00:11:32I'm a student here
00:11:34And I have something really important to discuss with Professor Mansfield
00:11:38Please
00:11:39Out
00:11:44Are you deaf, little brat?
00:11:47Get out
00:11:48Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong
00:11:51I'm so sorry, Mrs. Thomas
00:11:56I was actually talking to you
00:11:58What?
00:11:59Don't forget who butters your bread here
00:12:01Like not for my support
00:12:03Mrs. Thomas
00:12:04The law school is so grateful for all of your support
00:12:08A commemorative plaque is already on its way to your home
00:12:10However, if that support were to vanish for some reason
00:12:14I'm sure the alumni board
00:12:16And your husband
00:12:18Would be fascinated to hear the full story
00:12:21What did you just say?
00:12:33Thanks for your help, Miss Kent
00:12:34Thank you
00:12:36For saving me, Miss Kent
00:12:38So
00:12:39What can I do for you?
00:12:40I thought I'd be relegated to the lectern
00:12:44Far, far away from you
00:12:46I
00:12:48I came to
00:12:51Professor, I need a lawyer
00:12:52For my father
00:12:53For my father
00:12:54Harris Morrison is framing him for false financial crimes
00:12:56And I
00:12:57I'm a professor now
00:12:58Not a lawyer
00:12:59I don't do courtrooms anymore
00:13:02Because of Harris?
00:13:04You won't take on this case because of his engagement to your sister?
00:13:07Do you think that he controls my decisions?
00:13:10No
00:13:12Your situation
00:13:14Is unfortunate, Miss Kent
00:13:15But my reasons for leaving the bar
00:13:18Are my own
00:13:19Now I suggest you look at other defense lawyers in Los Angeles
00:13:24The great James Mansfield
00:13:26The man who never lost a single case
00:13:29Won't stand up to Harris
00:13:31No one else will dare
00:13:33He's my only hope
00:13:34Professor
00:13:37Wait
00:13:59Professor
00:14:00Don't stop now
00:14:20Professor
00:14:23I'm sorry
00:14:24I can't
00:14:34Don't sell yourself for pity, Miss Kent
00:14:37You don't know the price of that kind of regret
00:14:42Professor, my father's case
00:14:44I'm late for a lecture
00:14:47Good luck, Miss Kent
00:14:55And Miss Kent
00:14:57Taking your clothes off is the easy part
00:15:00Putting everything back on
00:15:02That's much more difficult
00:15:12You skipped our civil procedures class today
00:15:15Professor Winston was wondering where you were
00:15:16Don't even bring it up, Nora
00:15:18I've gone to every major law firm in L.A.
00:15:21And no one will take my father's case
00:15:23What about Professor Mansfield?
00:15:25I mean, didn't you say you guys were like
00:15:26I thought he liked me enough to help me
00:15:30But
00:15:31He said he's just a teacher now
00:15:35So
00:15:35He doesn't take on cases anymore
00:15:38I guess I was just a dumb girl to him
00:15:41Okay, don't give up
00:15:44My uncle knows Mansfield
00:15:45He golfs every weekend at the Oak Quarry
00:15:47And we're gonna go this weekend
00:15:49Really?
00:15:50Yep
00:15:52No more waiting
00:15:54Nothing matters more than freeing my dad
00:16:05Professor Mansfield is about to be here
00:16:06Okay, remember to keep it together, Claire
00:16:08And don't choke
00:16:11Okay?
00:16:14Claire Kent
00:16:15Salmony here
00:16:16Walk away, Harris
00:16:18That's true
00:16:19Didn't get enough last time
00:16:21Or are you still hoping to let you taste more?
00:16:24Oh
00:16:25Save it, Morrison
00:16:26Honestly, I don't know why you keep up with the act
00:16:28And I'm honestly surprised that they let you through the gate
00:16:32What did you just...
00:16:33Is there a problem?
00:16:38Mr. Morrison?
00:16:40No
00:16:42Professor Mansfield
00:16:44I'm Nora Greenwood, by the way
00:16:46I don't know if you remember me
00:16:47But I took your civil law seminar last semester
00:16:51This is my friend...
00:16:52Miss Kent
00:16:53As I remember
00:16:54You got an A in my class last year
00:16:57A plus
00:16:59That's right
00:17:02Do you golf?
00:17:03I could show you if you trust me
00:17:06Now's my chance
00:17:08I'd love to
00:17:09James, weren't we just, you know
00:17:12Wait, wait, wait
00:17:13You're not even close to being married to my sister yet
00:17:15Until then
00:17:16It's Professor
00:17:17Right, Professor Mansfield
00:17:19Got it
00:17:26You two seem to know each other
00:17:31No
00:17:32No, I don't know her
00:17:33This is
00:17:34The first time Miss Kent and I have met
00:17:39That's good
00:17:40That's real good
00:17:41Because
00:17:42Flora is my only sister
00:17:43And if I were to find out that you were in a relationship with another woman while engaged to her
00:17:47Well
00:17:48You know how much that would cost you
00:17:52Miss Kent
00:17:53Shall we
00:17:59Professor
00:17:59You know Harris isn't loyal to your sister
00:18:03So why still let them get married
00:18:05See
00:18:05Flora is mentally weak
00:18:12Right now
00:18:13She loves Harris entirely
00:18:15If I were to start making decisions for her
00:18:18But only backfire
00:18:23Come here
00:18:24Take this
00:18:26Let me show you
00:18:27Let this
00:18:29So you always want
00:18:32To have it to quote
00:18:33To aim in the direction you want the ball to go
00:18:36Relax your shoulders
00:18:38A nice loose grip
00:18:42Are you ready?
00:18:46Sorry
00:18:48I've never golfed before
00:18:49I'm just
00:18:49A little nervous
00:18:53Is it golf that makes you nervous?
00:18:56Or something else?
00:19:05Professor Mansfield treats Claire better than you ever did
00:19:21Very impressive
00:19:23You have some natural talent
00:19:26After school is out
00:19:28You should keep practicing
00:19:31I really like teaching you
00:19:34Stop teasing me Professor
00:19:36We both know I am really here
00:19:39Let me guess
00:19:40Your father's case again
00:19:42I was talking about you
00:19:46You don't really know me
00:19:47Professor
00:19:49I'm not the
00:19:50Perfect student
00:19:52You thought I was
00:19:54I get distracted
00:19:55I have
00:19:58Extracurricular interests
00:20:05I'll be waiting for you
00:20:06In the dressing room
00:20:15Come on Claire
00:20:17It's for dad
00:20:22So that's why you were in a hole of romance over there
00:20:26You're trying to seduce himself
00:20:28You're right in your father's case, huh?
00:20:31Ah, shit
00:20:32Claire
00:20:33Why are you seriously that pathetic?
00:20:37My fiance's brother
00:20:38You're a killer professor
00:20:40Yeah
00:20:41I am that pathetic
00:20:43Anyone but you, Harris
00:20:45Is that what you want to hear?
00:20:46You bitch
00:20:50You bitch
00:20:52Just get away from me
00:20:54We're done, Harris
00:20:55No, we're done
00:20:56We're not done
00:20:58You go throwing yourself a mantle
00:21:00Done
00:21:02He's my future brother-in-law
00:21:05Create your body to save daddy, huh?
00:21:08You're sick
00:21:09You still are ill
00:21:10But you, you lied to me
00:21:12You betrayed me
00:21:13And you ruined my father
00:21:19Four years, Claire
00:21:22Do you know what you are like in bed?
00:21:25A dead fish
00:21:26Lifeless
00:21:28Cold
00:21:29Pathetic
00:21:30Do you think
00:21:31Mansfield wants that?
00:21:32Huh?
00:21:34I could toss you in his bed
00:21:35But he'd find nothing
00:21:37No bones
00:21:38No passion
00:21:39But just a lifeless corpse
00:21:43Stop it
00:21:44I'll assure you how to please a man
00:21:46Let go of me
00:21:48Ow
00:21:50No
00:21:51No
00:22:03You touch her
00:22:05Again
00:22:05You'll be wishing
00:22:08I killed you instead
00:22:10Jordan
00:22:11Where's that?
00:22:12Don't listen
00:22:12Get out
00:22:17Honey
00:22:18I'm so sorry, Professor
00:22:20That you had to see that
00:22:21It's not your fault
00:22:28Professor
00:22:29You're safe now
00:22:31Alright
00:22:32Alright
00:22:37Come on
00:22:39Let's get you out of here
00:22:53Do you know Harris?
00:22:57No
00:22:57How long have you known him?
00:23:00Have you two slept together?
00:23:03How many times?
00:23:05Yes, sir
00:23:51Tell me to stop
00:23:53I'm sorry
00:23:54You can't
00:24:01This isn't what I want from you
00:24:03I need it
00:24:05Shh
00:24:08You're overthinking it
00:24:19Professor, I need you to feel this
00:24:28I'm done with class tomorrow
00:24:31Then
00:24:33Meet me in the lecture room
00:24:46Careful, careful
00:24:47Are you okay?
00:24:49One second
00:24:57Hello
00:24:58Hello
00:24:58EMS
00:24:58There's a woman
00:25:00Who fainted
00:25:01We're
00:25:01I guess
00:25:13Morrison again
00:25:16Good morning, Mom
00:25:19Whoa
00:25:19Slow down
00:25:21You're in the hospital?
00:25:22Why?
00:25:22What happened?
00:25:24Okay
00:25:24Yeah
00:25:25I'm on my way
00:25:31Mom
00:25:32Hey
00:25:33Are you alright?
00:25:34I'm fine
00:25:35A nice girl brought me in
00:25:36And stayed with me
00:25:37The whole time
00:25:38I owe her a big thank you
00:25:41Yeah, of course
00:25:42Yeah, of course
00:25:43I promise
00:25:43I'll make sure I find out who it was
00:25:45And I'll thank her for you
00:25:46Okay
00:26:00I'm sorry I missed our meeting, Professor
00:26:02I guess running into your mother
00:26:04I guess running into your mother was some weird coincidence
00:26:06I didn't have any of it
00:26:08Give me your hand
00:26:09Are you?
00:26:16Take this
00:26:17What is this?
00:26:19It's my friend's law firm
00:26:20He usually only does high profile political cases
00:26:23So his number isn't public
00:26:25Tell him you're my friend
00:26:26I'll take your case
00:26:28And Claire
00:26:30Thank you for helping my mother
00:26:35Give him a call
00:26:50I'll be honest with you, Miss Kent
00:26:53Best case scenario here is
00:26:55I can maybe get your father's sentence reduced to
00:26:58Ten years
00:26:59What?
00:27:00But
00:27:01But he's innocent
00:27:03Unfortunately
00:27:05Innocent doesn't really matter if we can't prove it
00:27:09See the
00:27:11The evidence we would need to clear his name
00:27:14It's just buried a little too deep for someone like me to get to
00:27:20What you need, Miss Kent, is
00:27:22You need a bigger shovel
00:27:26In fact
00:27:29You need James Mansfield
00:27:33In this world
00:27:34In the legal world
00:27:36That name
00:27:37It doesn't just open doors
00:27:39It kicks me out
00:27:42Yeah, but
00:27:43It's complicated
00:27:45We
00:27:46Yeah, what the hell?
00:27:47Where did you put my credit card?
00:27:52Timmy?
00:27:53Timmy
00:27:56Timmy
00:27:56Timmy
00:27:59Yeah, your ex-boyfriend sounds like a real asshole
00:28:02Want me to beat him up for you?
00:28:04Please don't
00:28:06The trial's starting soon
00:28:07We can't risk any conflict
00:28:09Any trouble now could ruin us
00:28:12Look at him
00:28:14Smug prick
00:28:19Honey
00:28:21Honey
00:28:25Honey
00:28:26Flora
00:28:27What a surprise
00:28:29I'm getting married soon
00:28:31Now to buy me a big nice wedding gift
00:28:34You're getting married to him
00:28:37I'm sure you're going to regret that
00:28:39By the way
00:28:40Have you met my girlfriend?
00:28:43Claire can
00:28:44What?
00:28:46What?
00:28:54Try me
00:29:08Stop
00:29:09Get out of the way
00:29:18It's good to see you again, Miss Kent
00:29:23James
00:29:25What are you
00:29:26Keep your fiancƩ in check
00:29:38Were they fighting because of you?
00:29:46Do you still have feelings for Morissette?
00:29:51How could I have feelings for the man who put my father in prison?
00:29:54So you were with Timothy Sampson because of his father?
00:30:05Claire
00:30:07If I agreed
00:30:09To defend your father
00:30:15Would you give yourself to me?
00:30:19Professor
00:30:21I know
00:30:22You love your sister
00:30:23I won't be the reason you jeopardize her happiness
00:30:28No matter
00:30:30How much
00:30:31I want to save my father
00:30:33I can't
00:30:34Ask you to carry that burden
00:30:38I'll find another way
00:30:39Even if it costs me
00:30:43Goodbye, James
00:30:54She called me James
00:31:06That car
00:31:08That car
00:31:26You can't
00:31:27You can't just do whatever you want to me anymore
00:31:29Fuck
00:31:31Your father's right in jail
00:31:33And you still haven't learned what happens when you
00:31:35Mess me up
00:31:36I don't know
00:31:37I don't believe you
00:31:38I want to save my father
00:31:40You touch me one more time
00:31:42Your wedding will
00:31:43For his
00:31:44Over
00:31:48Fuck
00:31:57It's late
00:32:00Mr. Massfield
00:32:02What are you doing
00:32:03At Miss Kent's house
00:32:07Looking for a girlfriend
00:32:09Yeah, sir
00:32:09I was just
00:32:11Discussing her father's case
00:32:13Where are you
00:32:19Right
00:32:21No
00:32:21I
00:32:22I want to resolve this piece for you
00:32:25Do you
00:32:27I hope so
00:32:28You know, Flora is my only sister
00:32:31And Miss Kent
00:32:32Well, she's a very highly respected student of mine
00:32:36If anything were to happen
00:32:38To either of them
00:32:41Well
00:32:43You know what happens next
00:32:45Good night
00:32:50Claire, wake up!
00:32:51Someone's broken into our house
00:32:53What?
00:32:58Who are you?
00:33:00I'm calling the police
00:33:05The police?
00:33:07Honey
00:33:07Your dad has racked up massive debts over the years
00:33:11We're here to legally seize all of this property
00:33:14Keep it moving
00:33:17Put that down
00:33:21Claire
00:33:23Don't
00:33:23Don't hurt you
00:33:28They've frozen my accounts
00:33:29All of them
00:33:30This is Morrison
00:33:32He's cutting us off from everything
00:33:37He can take the house
00:33:38He can freeze the money
00:33:40But he won't break me
00:33:42I'll scrub toilets
00:33:44I'll wait tables
00:33:45I don't care
00:33:46That bastard won't win
00:33:51Hey
00:33:52You okay?
00:33:54Yeah, just tired
00:33:55Oh
00:34:06Sorry
00:34:13You missed my glass yesterday
00:34:20If I tell him about my financial troubles
00:34:22I'll just drag him into this mess
00:34:25Sorry, I have to go, Professor
00:34:28How about I give you a ride home?
00:34:36I asked him to drop me here
00:34:37So he wouldn't know the house was taken
00:34:40This can't go on forever
00:34:56You're sure she's Flora Mansfield?
00:34:58I saw her get out of James Mansfield's car myself
00:35:01Cut the bullshit and call her fiance
00:35:04Do they think of Flora Mansfield?
00:35:06Do they think of Flora Mansfield?
00:35:18Claire's been condemned
00:35:22What's her, honey?
00:35:24Nothing, just text
00:35:27Text editor stuff
00:35:35That's not my fiance
00:35:36I don't even know who that woman is
00:35:43What?
00:35:45She's not Flora
00:35:47Well, she's hot either way
00:35:53We should've let this opportunity go waste
00:35:56Talk for a little fun
00:36:04Hey!
00:36:13You're on a real unlucky streak, Miss Kent
00:36:17You're on a real unlucky streak, Miss Kent
00:36:18Oh, come on
00:36:20Oh, my God
00:36:22Oh, my God
00:36:25Oh, my God
00:36:32Oh, my God
00:36:56James, what are you doing here?
00:36:59Just time.
00:37:00How far have you gone with Mansfield?
00:37:03Why are you saying his name in your sleep?
00:37:06Call him.
00:37:11Professor, funny seeing you again, Harris.
00:37:13Professor, I was dropping off supplements for flora and I happened to buzz by Miss Kent's room and I thought
00:37:24I'd say hi.
00:37:28Miss Kent, your hospital bills came up to $5,000.
00:37:33How do you plan to pay that?
00:37:54Do you think a kiss is worth $5,000?
00:38:01Do you like me, Professor?
00:38:21If you'd like, my body can belong to you now.
00:38:29I don't know.
00:38:55Get out.
00:38:58Now, don't even look at her.
00:39:04I'll make you regret it.
00:39:27Miss Kent, is this how you handle all your problems?
00:39:31No.
00:39:33Only for you.
00:39:41If you want, I'll take on his case as the defense attorney.
00:39:47Really?
00:39:48Why is he suddenly offering to help me?
00:39:50Isn't this what you wanted, Claire?
00:39:52Maybe he's only doing this so that I'll sleep with him.
00:39:56Wouldn't be surprised.
00:39:57Tomorrow, I leave for Austin.
00:40:00And when I get back, I'll start on your father's case.
00:40:16Claire, no.
00:40:21Claire, no.
00:40:31Claire, you don't have to do this.
00:40:37Just get some rest, okay?
00:40:40I'll see you in court.
00:40:56Good afternoon, Mr. Sampson.
00:40:58And I was just about to call you.
00:41:00I...
00:41:01What?
00:41:03I...
00:41:03My father's sick.
00:41:05I'll be right there.
00:41:08Thank you for coming.
00:41:10I'm sorry.
00:41:10The news from the hospital is not good.
00:41:13They found a brain tumor.
00:41:15Listen.
00:41:16The doctors, they said it's a ticking time bomb.
00:41:21And it could rupture at any moment.
00:41:22So he needs an operation now.
00:41:25Only problem is...
00:41:26Now I understand.
00:41:29I'll find the money, Mr. Sampson.
00:41:31Okay.
00:41:37He's already agreed to defend Dad.
00:41:39I...
00:41:40I can't ask him for anything else.
00:41:47She's sick.
00:41:48Something.
00:41:49Something.
00:41:50Hey.
00:41:51Listen.
00:41:52I heard about your father.
00:41:54I can help fix this.
00:41:56Why would I trust you, Harris?
00:41:59I just...
00:42:00Have dinner with me, and we can talk.
00:42:04Nothing else.
00:42:05Nothing more.
00:42:06And if you say yes,
00:42:08I'll wire a full surgery across to the hospital immediately.
00:42:13Huh?
00:42:14Hmm?
00:42:20Fine.
00:42:25Fine.
00:42:32Fine.
00:42:46Great.
00:42:49Do you like the dress I custom made for you?
00:42:52Harris, you promised we were just having dinner.
00:42:55Right. Just dinner.
00:42:58But I don't...
00:43:01Isn't that normal for me to have sex with my girlfriend?
00:43:05Come on.
00:43:27Hey, where are you? Why aren't you raising my calls?
00:43:31Huh? I didn't get any calls from you.
00:43:34Flora, what is going on?
00:43:36Didn't you hear about Claire's dad? He's really sick and needs surgery.
00:43:41Claire's been scrambling to find the money.
00:43:43She never told me he was ill.
00:43:45Come on, James.
00:43:47Who would tell the professor something like that?
00:43:49Oh, I'm so bored.
00:43:51If Harris said he's working late tonight and won't be coming home.
00:43:58No!
00:44:00No!
00:44:05No!
00:44:06No!
00:44:07We did it for us for so long, baby. You're home right now.
00:44:12No!
00:44:15No!
00:44:21Fuck!
00:44:24What is it?
00:44:26What?
00:44:27Get our financial advisor!
00:44:28Yeah, now!
00:44:33Gonna go back to the office.
00:44:36Don't leave.
00:44:38I'll cancel your father's surgery if you think about leaving.
00:44:41Yeah?
00:45:07I'll cancel your father's surgery if you think about leaving.
00:45:09I'll cancel your father's surgery.
00:45:13It is all right.
00:45:27I'll cancel your father's surgery.
00:45:30I will cancel your father's surgery if you think about leaving.
00:45:52I'm sorry, Professor. There wasn't anything else that fit.
00:46:18I went ahead and paid for your father's hospital bill. You're not going to see Harris again.
00:46:46Claire, are you there? Where did you go?
00:46:53Claire, you were the one who tempted me. Do you understand?
00:47:00Yes, Professor.
00:47:02You're not going to see anyone else. Do you understand that?
00:47:07Yes, Professor.
00:47:08And you are never going to see Harris again.
00:47:13Yes, Professor.
00:47:15Professor.
00:47:16Professor.
00:47:17Professor.
00:47:18Professor.
00:47:21Professor.
00:47:22Professor.
00:47:24Professor.
00:47:26Professor.
00:47:28Professor.
00:47:33Professor.
00:47:34Professor.
00:47:37Professor.
00:47:38Professor.
00:47:39Professor.
00:47:42Professor.
00:47:57Very good.
00:48:11You really have no sense of loyalty, do you?
00:48:14You can't even keep a single promise to me.
00:48:17Don't push me any further.
00:48:18If Flora finds out what you did, you two are over.
00:48:21Do you really think having Mansfield as your attorney will make this trial easy?
00:48:26Well, let me tell you something.
00:48:29Mansfield won't be showing up today.
00:48:32What did Harris do this time?
00:49:14Where's James?
00:49:15Did Harris do something to Flora?
00:49:18Give up, Claire. Mansfield isn't coming.
00:49:21And once this trial is over, you'll be mine forever.
00:49:31Don't worry, Mr. Morrison. I'll do exactly what you want.
00:49:35I trust you.
00:49:42If this works, Anne, you'll be the new lady of the house.
00:50:07What?
00:50:12Don't worry.
00:50:14I'll get her back.
00:50:15I support Sam.
00:50:19In the absence of a defense, this court finds no reason to challenge the charge.
00:50:26The verdict stands.
00:50:28Chris Kent is sentenced to life in prison.
00:50:33This court is adjourned.
00:50:35Objection!
00:50:41Apologies for my tardiness, Your Honor.
00:50:44Mr. James Mansfield, representing the defendant.
00:50:48I have key evidence.
00:50:54The prosecution's case rests entirely on these transfer files.
00:50:58They claim that my client embezzled funds.
00:51:00But on none of these files will you find his signature.
00:51:04What you will find is a pseudonym, Woody Lincoln.
00:51:07Mr. Morrison, perhaps you can enlighten the court.
00:51:10Can you think of anyone who would use that alias?
00:51:14Your Honor, this is a tactic.
00:51:16I request a recess to prepare.
00:51:18Granted.
00:51:19Defense counsel, your late arrival has disrupted our court proceedings.
00:51:25Now, you'll get to present this evidence properly after we return.
00:51:33This court is adjourned.
00:51:45Professor, thank you for coming today.
00:51:48Bye, bye.
00:51:53Sorry, I was late.
00:51:54Flora had an accident.
00:51:56She fell down the stairs.
00:51:57But she's going to be fine.
00:51:59I went ahead and arranged for your father to be admitted to a private hospital that my family owns.
00:52:05I hope that's okay.
00:52:07Do you want to go see him?
00:52:10Come on.
00:52:18Come on.
00:52:25You'll regret this, Claire.
00:52:32Dad.
00:52:33Hey, kiddo.
00:52:35You and your mom doing okay?
00:52:36We're fine.
00:52:37Don't worry about us.
00:52:41Um, this is...
00:52:45Professor Mansfield.
00:52:47I know.
00:52:48He's been a huge help here these past few days.
00:52:51He says he's handling my legal affairs because you are his most promising student.
00:52:59Student.
00:53:00I'll leave you two alone.
00:53:03I'll see you in class, Miss Kent.
00:53:06Thank you, James.
00:53:14Does James only see me as his student?
00:53:20Just sit down for this.
00:53:29Do you really think James Mansfield would be in love with you?
00:53:34Oh, you didn't know about Joan Stewart, did you?
00:53:38This great, tragic love story.
00:53:41They were forced to wake up, but kept in touch over the years.
00:53:45Guess what?
00:53:47She flies back to L.A. tomorrow, huh?
00:53:53Do you really think a little student fling stand a chance against, what, this great love of his life?
00:54:05What does this have to do with you?
00:54:07Everything.
00:54:08If you will come back to me, the entire Mansfield fortune will be ours.
00:54:14Don't you understand that Flora's life is in my hands, love?
00:54:17Wait.
00:54:18It was you who hurt Flora?
00:54:23I love you, Claire.
00:54:25I will never mistreat you.
00:54:27So, as long as...
00:54:35I don't need love from someone despicable like you.
00:54:45And tomorrow, we will discuss Freud and why he did enough cocaine to kill a small horse.
00:54:51Have a good day, everyone.
00:55:02Professor, we shouldn't do this anymore.
00:55:05What?
00:55:07What?
00:55:09Tell me why.
00:55:11You should be with Joan Stewart.
00:55:14I know she's who you really love.
00:55:17Just a student.
00:55:38Claire, Joan is the past.
00:55:44She's marrying someone else.
00:55:46And you...
00:55:50You're not just my student.
00:55:52You're the only one I see in the room.
00:55:57Always.
00:56:02I really feel.
00:56:17Come here, Miss Kent.
00:56:19Professor.
00:56:21Look at you.
00:56:23Plain seductress.
00:56:30You have no idea what you do to me, do you?
00:56:35My dirty, little student.
00:56:39Miss Kent.
00:56:41I think you got my pants off.
00:56:48Shh.
00:56:49The professor is speaking.
00:56:54You've gotten better at that.
00:56:57Even that little stunt you try to pull back to club.
00:57:01I almost fell for it.
00:57:16Good girl.
00:57:26Professor?
00:57:34Breakfast is on the table.
00:57:36Join me for a family gathering this afternoon.
00:57:39The dress is for you.
00:57:41I'll pick you up at 1.
00:57:43And I'll pick you up at the...
00:57:51I'll pick you up at that.
00:57:51He wants me to meet his family?
00:57:53My...
00:57:54Yeah.
00:58:02Look at that view.
00:58:04Jamie!
00:58:05meet. Oh, there you are. And I thought you'd be late today. How could I be? Joan's going
00:58:12to be here today. I wanted to get here early so I could catch up with her. Joan. So, you're
00:58:26James' new girlfriend. James, it's been too long. I have to admit I was worried about
00:58:35you after I left, but it does my heart good to see you're not alone. He used to call me
00:58:40the love of his life. Joan is even more beautiful in person. No wonder James was obsessed with
00:58:48her. Joan, you worry too much. Claire and I are doing just fine.
00:58:56Why play pretend, James? The night I left Los Angeles, you fell apart in court. Your client
00:59:03killed himself and you decided to never take another case again. And yet, I came back and
00:59:13you decide to defend Ms. Kent's father? That's not just coincidence. Joan, let's make one thing
00:59:19clear. Excuse me for a moment.
00:59:33What is it? You're nothing from here to Joan. She's won Mansfield really once. He was
00:59:40just fooling around with you until she came back. But listen, you still can come back to me.
00:59:47Maybe it's time to reconsider the outfit. Why would I test you over, James?
00:59:55James, don't you ever say his name in front of me? If you really want him, then fine.
01:00:02I'll show you exactly how much you're worth to him.
01:00:16Last dance, okay? After this, I don't ever want to see you again.
01:00:21All right.
01:00:29Claire.
01:00:30James, we're already going to finish our last dance together.
01:01:00So, the reason he refused to work on any more
01:01:03cases was because Joan broke his heart.
01:01:06What do I mean to him?
01:01:08What happened, Claire?
01:01:09Did that bastard Harris try and hurt you again?
01:01:13No, it's me.
01:01:15I just realized how dumb I've been.
01:01:19Thinking someone like James could ever love someone like me.
01:01:25Come here.
01:01:43Claire, I thought that we had an agreement.
01:01:46You should be at my place right now.
01:01:47What are you doing at Nora's?
01:01:48Let go with me.
01:01:49Why?
01:01:51Is this because of Joan?
01:01:52Is that really what's going on?
01:01:54I told you, she's just...
01:01:56I just have one question for you.
01:01:59Was our whole relationship just to provoke Harris?
01:02:02To sabotage his engagement to your sister?
01:02:19Why aren't you answering me?
01:02:22Just admit it.
01:02:24You love Joan.
01:02:24No.
01:02:25I don't.
01:02:26You are the only one that I love.
01:02:30I don't know, Professor.
01:02:31I've been too naive.
01:02:33I don't...
01:02:34I don't understand this game you're playing.
01:02:42It's not a game.
01:02:51What?
01:02:51Yo, gang's throwing a little after-party.
01:02:53Same place as always.
01:02:54Are you coming?
01:02:56Joan.
01:02:57I mean, come on.
01:02:59You have to stop calling me.
01:03:00Are you really just going to cut ties with us?
01:03:03We've all been friends forever.
01:03:05Don't forget how my father saved your life, James.
01:03:09Are you willing to throw all that away for some random girl?
01:03:20I'm on my way.
01:03:50Uh, Nora?
01:03:55I'm not your place.
01:03:56Where are you?
01:03:58Timmy said you were upset.
01:04:00Is it about Mansfield?
01:04:01Yeah.
01:04:02We'll talk later.
01:04:04We're at a bar right now, but there's a big party going on.
01:04:07Why don't you come hang out for a bit?
01:04:09James wants Joan now, then it's none of his business what I do anymore.
01:04:17Yeah.
01:04:18Text me the address.
01:04:21See?
01:04:26Yeah, of course.
01:04:27Okay, yeah, just text me when you're here.
01:04:29Okay, bye.
01:04:31Who's that?
01:04:32Claire.
01:04:33I invited her.
01:04:38What?
01:04:40Nora, you're joking, right?
01:04:41No.
01:04:42Do you not want her here or something?
01:04:44No, no, no.
01:04:44This party's for James Mansfield.
01:04:46Yeah.
01:04:47Joan is throwing this party for him.
01:04:51Oh.
01:04:54Oh, my God.
01:04:55I'm such an idiot.
01:04:57I don't want Claire to see them together.
01:04:58I don't want Claire to see them together.
01:04:59I don't want Claire to see them together.
01:05:02I don't want Claire to see them together.
01:05:06Stop calling me, James.
01:05:07I don't want to talk to you.
01:05:21She's not picking up.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:23I will just go find her.
01:05:30Kimmy, why weren't you at the family event earlier?
01:05:35It's a long story, but I'm counting on you, Nora.
01:05:40I don't want to talk to you, Nora.
01:06:04You're welcome.
01:06:07Joan, please stop it.
01:06:09God, you are engaged to someone else
01:06:12I'd cancel it for you
01:06:14Would you cancel yours for me?
01:06:17Would you leave Miss Kent for me?
01:06:20No, I wouldn't
01:06:22You don't understand how little I care about you
01:06:27I don't believe that for a second
01:06:29I know you still care about me
01:06:39Claire
01:06:45Miss Kent
01:06:48This is a private party
01:06:50How did you even find this place?
01:06:52I invited her
01:06:54Claire is
01:06:57My best friend
01:06:58Oh
01:07:01I didn't know you'd switched teams
01:07:08Professor Mansfield
01:07:10I thought you said that young adults like us
01:07:12Were too irresponsible for relationships
01:07:14I mean, don't you think that's right?
01:07:16You misunderstood Miss Greenwood
01:07:18Joan and I, we're just
01:07:21No big deal
01:07:22The more the merrier
01:07:25How about we play a game?
01:07:29Sure
01:07:29I'm in
01:07:31What are we playing?
01:07:33Dice
01:07:36The one who rolls the lowest number
01:07:39Has to do a dare
01:07:41What do you say, Claire?
01:07:43I'm out
01:07:46Shh
01:07:48Oh
01:07:49I lost
01:07:50What's my dare?
01:07:52Take off a piece of clothing
01:07:59Joan, jeez
01:08:04Is this good enough for you?
01:08:06Is this good enough for you?
01:08:17You could have easily just taken off an airing, but okay
01:08:20Time for round two
01:08:27Looks like we have a winner
01:08:29Looks like we have a winner
01:08:31What dare should we give to Claire?
01:08:35Oh, I know
01:08:38You and Timothee should French kiss
01:08:44That way we can tell whether or not he likes boys or girls
01:08:48Why do you keep saying shit like that?
01:08:50Hey, I'm just following the rules
01:08:52I took my top off like I was told
01:08:54Unless
01:08:55Unless
01:08:55You're too scared
01:08:57Shh
01:08:58Come on
01:09:01Stop!
01:09:03God
01:09:04Are you satisfied?
01:09:06Are you done abusing her?
01:09:08Come on
01:09:22Let's go
01:09:24Don't chase it
01:09:25You care about me
01:09:26But you don't trust me
01:09:28Are you trying to make me go crazy?
01:09:30Don't let go of me
01:09:32Claire
01:09:33Claire
01:09:35Claire
01:09:36Claire
01:09:37Claire
01:09:37Claire
01:09:38Claire
01:09:39Claire
01:09:55Stay with me all night
01:10:00That's it
01:10:03Hey
01:10:05You're awake
01:10:07You had a fever last night
01:10:08So I am
01:10:09I brought you home
01:10:10You're more than welcome to leave
01:10:12Whenever you feel comfortable
01:10:14If you're home
01:10:15I can make you something to eat
01:10:17I want you to
01:10:29Claire
01:10:30Claire
01:10:30Listen
01:10:33I have to admit that
01:10:34I was trying to use you
01:10:36When I first learned about you and Harris
01:10:39But I don't feel that way anymore
01:10:42I've realized that
01:10:46I love you
01:10:48With all my heart
01:10:50I'm asking you
01:10:52To trust me
01:10:53Just this once
01:11:15I promise you
01:11:18I will never hurt you again
01:11:36You definitely get an A plus
01:11:39Kissy
01:11:49And I expect you to hold it personally
01:11:52That's it
01:12:03You sleep alright
01:12:05Good
01:12:07Well the trial
01:12:08Is tomorrow
01:12:09So
01:12:09Have some preparations
01:12:11To take care of
01:12:12If you need anything
01:12:14Just call me
01:12:15Until next you
01:12:34Let's let's discuss
01:12:38If you need anything
01:12:43Justumbs up
01:12:45I know it better than you do.
01:12:55Claire, what is it?
01:12:57John.
01:13:00What are you doing here?
01:13:02James, I've been calling all night.
01:13:04I was worried something happened.
01:13:05Claire's sick.
01:13:06I've been taking care of her.
01:13:08Did she let you in?
01:13:09You didn't say anything rude to her, did you?
01:13:11Is she the only person you care about now?
01:13:14What happened to all of your old promises?
01:13:15Huh?
01:13:16You used to say you would only ever love me.
01:13:18Don't get me started on promises.
01:13:20I think we both know what broke ours.
01:13:22Or should I remind you?
01:13:25Maybe the time you tried to blackmail the senator's son
01:13:28by threatening to release their sex video.
01:13:30Stop, Pop.
01:13:31I told you, James.
01:13:32I will call off the engagement if you still want me.
01:13:35Just say you love me, please.
01:13:46I love Claire.
01:13:47Here's your answer.
01:13:49Go home, Ms. Stewart.
01:13:51You don't live here anymore.
01:14:06Would you like some coffee?
01:14:08You're making coffee down here while I'm upstairs alone with James?
01:14:15Are you too scared to come up, or do you just not care?
01:14:19No.
01:14:21I trust him.
01:14:22You don't even know him.
01:14:24That mug you're holding, I bought from an antique store in Paris.
01:14:29It's beautiful, which is why I kept it.
01:14:32James keeps memories of you, too.
01:14:34Memories are beautiful things.
01:14:39But this is, this is just a cup.
01:14:42The coffee he makes every day, then.
01:14:45It's for me.
01:14:45You're unbelievable.
01:14:51Oh!
01:14:56What are you doing?
01:15:03James!
01:15:04I was just talking to Ms. Kent, and she poured coffee on me.
01:15:08You put that on yourself.
01:15:10But, if you're that desperate to make me the villain.
01:15:13Oh.
01:15:14Now, I really poured coffee on you.
01:15:17What are you going to do about it?
01:15:18James, she just...
01:15:20Joan, this is so disappointing.
01:15:23When did you get like this?
01:15:26Listen, I'll take you home, but you are never coming back here again.
01:15:30I don't need you to give me a ride home.
01:15:34Don't you see?
01:15:35I did this all for you.
01:15:41Jamie, why didn't Claire come to dinner tonight?
01:15:45No idea.
01:15:46Maybe she's, um, avoiding someone.
01:15:50Oh.
01:15:51Is the wedding week done?
01:15:52Yeah.
01:15:53When are you going to propose?
01:15:54Yes, it is, actually.
01:15:56I'm planning to take her to our favorite restaurant this Friday and surprise her there.
01:16:01Yeah, I have this whole thing planned out, and then the waiters come out with champagne,
01:16:04and, uh, and, uh, the chef is...
01:16:07Excuse me, I need to use the restaurant.
01:16:27Miss Stewart.
01:16:28Oh, yeah, it's Ares.
01:16:29Um, I've got something big to tell you.
01:16:33Yeah, yeah.
01:16:35You're gonna love this.
01:16:38Huh?
01:16:38Yeah.
01:16:43The Oppenheimer Blue.
01:16:45Worth 60 million dollars.
01:16:50Wow.
01:16:51Your fiancƩe, she's a very lucky lady.
01:16:54But, I'd give her anything.
01:16:58I just want her to be happy.
01:17:08That's strange.
01:17:10This place is always packed.
01:17:13Why is it so empty tonight?
01:17:23I thought he said he had a surprise for me.
01:17:26Why isn't he here?
01:17:30I'm so excited for today's private proposal.
01:17:33I've never seen Professor Mansfield in person before.
01:17:36Shh.
01:17:37Don't let Miss Kent hear you.
01:17:39God, she is so lucky.
01:17:41She was just a normal student,
01:17:43and now she's gonna marry into the Mansfield family?
01:17:48A proposal?
01:17:51James wants to marry me?
01:18:20Joan is threatening to commit suicide.
01:18:23We need you here now.
01:18:39I'm sorry, Miss Kent.
01:18:41We're about to close.
01:18:42Would you still like to wait here?
01:18:44No, thank you.
01:18:46I'll just take the bill now.
01:18:58James.
01:19:01James.
01:19:06See, you can't do this right now.
01:19:12Joan, you have crossed the line.
01:19:14You can't just steal someone's phone
01:19:16and then pretend that you're gonna kill yourself?
01:19:19Why?
01:19:21Why don't you love me anymore?
01:19:23I don't leave you.
01:19:25I know you still love me.
01:19:27Get off me!
01:19:29I'm sorry, I didn't...
01:19:33Claire.
01:19:34Claire.
01:19:35This is not what it looks like, okay?
01:19:37I know.
01:19:38I'm just too young and naive
01:19:39to understand how adult relationships work.
01:19:42Let go of me, Professor.
01:19:43I don't want to see you anymore.
01:19:46You promised.
01:19:47You promised that you would trust me.
01:19:51And let's...
01:19:52Let's break up.
01:19:55What did you just say?
01:19:59I know.
01:19:59It's...
01:20:00It's my fault.
01:20:02I shouldn't have stopped you from pursuing Joan.
01:20:05I can handle my father's case on my own
01:20:07and I'll be out of your house tonight.
01:20:09I'm letting you go, so...
01:20:11Just let me go, too.
01:20:37Professor, what are you...
01:20:41I could smell alcohol on him.
01:20:43Is he drunk?
01:20:52Claire?
01:20:53Who is it?
01:20:55No one.
01:20:56Mom, I must have...
01:20:57Miss Hardik.
01:21:09You will never know how much I want you
01:21:12if I keep holding back my urges.
01:21:16Let's go to my room.
01:21:18I don't want my mom and Nora to see.
01:21:19Okay.
01:21:20Let's go.
01:21:25Huh.
01:21:28Uh...
01:21:29Uh...
01:21:30Uh...
01:21:33Uh...
01:21:34Uh...
01:21:47Uh...
01:21:56Oh, you know, from that first day in the lecture hall, when I saw you, I thought to myself, she
01:22:07belongs to me.
01:22:11I wanted to lock you up so no one else had ever seen you, keep you out of myself, my
01:22:18perfect student. I wanted you to be one. I want you to be one.
01:22:54No, I'm not going to be gentle. And you, you're going to be quiet. Okay?
01:23:31Claire?
01:23:36You really want to hire a public defense attorney? If you want, I could call my dad.
01:23:40No, no, Timmy. I trust the law. My father is innocent and he deserves to be set free.
01:24:15Morrison.
01:24:17Good morning, professor. Do you have time to talk real quick?
01:24:27You see, Claire is the kind of a woman that exploits you and then throws you away.
01:24:33A woman like that needs to be taught a lesson.
01:24:36You know, in a good way, for her own good.
01:24:38Don't you agree?
01:24:39Maybe you're right.
01:24:41A simple disappearing.
01:24:43You are no show of the trial.
01:24:45Her father gets put away.
01:24:46I secure my future with the Mansfield family, and you caught your losses before Claire ruins you completely.
01:24:53It's a clean slate for everyone who matters.
01:24:55And who cares if Candace is innocent or not?
01:25:01Pleasure doing business.
01:25:05This is really bad.
01:25:07My lawyer doesn't have any key evidence.
01:25:10Your time's up, Claire.
01:25:12James isn't going to help you now.
01:25:18Very well.
01:25:19The jury will now begin deliberations.
01:25:23Apologies for my tardiness, Your Honor.
01:25:31Mansfield?
01:25:32Mr. Morrison.
01:25:33Nice suit.
01:25:37I have two pieces of crucial evidence.
01:25:41First, an affidavit here.
01:25:44Confirming Woody Lincoln is the alias used by Mr. Harris Morrison for his offshore accounts.
01:25:51Second, and I want everyone to hear this.
01:25:55The simple disappearing act.
01:25:58You are no show of the trial.
01:26:00Her father gets put away.
01:26:01I secure my future with the Mansfield family.
01:26:03And you cut your losses before Claire ruins you completely.
01:26:07It's a clean slate for everyone who matters.
01:26:10And who cares if Kent is innocent or not?
01:26:21No, it's taken out of context.
01:26:23It's a fabrication.
01:26:24Fabrication?
01:26:26And I suppose your maid's confession is also a fabrication.
01:26:30The one she just told the police where you paid her to push your own wife down a flight of
01:26:36stairs.
01:26:37It's true.
01:26:39He tried to kill me.
01:26:42Mr. Morrison.
01:26:43You once told me that certain people need to be dealt with.
01:26:46You were right.
01:26:48Justice isn't for sale.
01:26:51How about you defend your client?
01:26:54Your dead client!
01:27:01Thank you, Your Honor.
01:27:08You know, I do have another piece of evidence.
01:27:22This ring proves how much I truly love you.
