Short filmTranscript
00:01I dated my lawyer boyfriend for 5 years, he cancelled our wedding, 52 times, first time,
00:05his intern messed up some paperwork, he ditched me at the beach to fix it, I waited all day,
00:09alone, second time, we were mid ceremony when he bolted, heard that intern was getting heat
00:12from another lawyer and left me to face the guests and their stares, after that, every
00:15time we tried again, there was always some emergency with her, always, I finally hit
00:19my limit, I was done, packed up and broke it off, but the day I left Ainsley, he totally
00:22lost it trying to find me, today was wedding attempt number 52 with Owen Tanner, no big
00:26crowd this time, just our families, I dragged myself through a fever to check the setup
00:29with the wedding director, Owen didn't even look at me, he was in the groom's room,
00:32giving Vanessa fondla, his intern, a full on ankle massage, she'd shown up limping like
00:35always, my parents just shook their heads, really, again, has he ever cared about you,
00:40everyone knew how badly I wanted this to finally happen, but right before the ceremony, he bailed,
00:43again, I chased after him, but he blocked me, Vanessa's legs still bad, I gotta take her
00:48to the hospital, let's postpone, next time, I swear, then he turned and helped her into
00:52the car, 5 years together, 52 cancelled weddings, always because of her, I used to scream,
00:56the man answers, begged him to stay, this time, I smiled, it's fine, Vanessa probably
01:00can't wait, he blinked, caught off guard, cool, I'll bring that strawberry cake you love
01:04tonight, I nodded, he shut the window, drove off, my smile dropped, I hate strawberries,
01:09I hate cake, he knows that, I told him the first time he brought it, forced down a bite so
01:12he wouldn't feel bad, then admitted I couldn't stand it, he even typed it into his notes,
01:16promised he'd remember, one year later, yeah, right, the sun was brutal, but my heart, I,
01:21I laughed once, walked back in, called it off, then I ripped out the dress I worn 52 freaking
01:26times, time to shred those 5 years, too, in the end, my parents stuck around to comfort
01:30me, why don't you come back to Caverton with us, they'd asked before, I slumped in my seat,
01:34glanced up at their hopeful eyes, Caverton capital city, home to the biggest law firm
01:37around, their firm, I became a lawyer because of them, I was supposed to join right after
01:41graduation, then I met Owen in grad school and followed him to Ainsley instead, he came
01:44from a tiny rural town, he hated it when anyone brought up having war, so I kept my background
01:47quiet, 4 or 5 years, he thought I was just another small town girl like him, so for the
01:51past 5 years, I never told him the truth, in his eyes, I was just another small town girl
01:55like him, in those 5 years, I went from newbie to name partner material, we crushed firm bonuses
02:003 years straight, everyone called us the golden couple, I figured someday he'd be cool with
02:03the truth, but that moment never came, I sighed, no point now, okay, I'll go, my parents
02:08lit up, mom squeezed my hand, good girl, we'll book your flight, you're not staying here
02:12and suffering, after settling them in, I went home, still cold, still empty, I tossed together
02:17some pasta, opened social, and boomed Vanessa's latest post, she was in a tight workout set,
02:21all snuggled up to Owen, dragged someone's almost groom to play a match with me, he was
02:24kinda grumpy, but I promised him dinner at my place, that did the trick, hee hee, I gagged,
02:28he wasn't coming back tonight, same old story, thank goodness we never made it legal, I was
02:32done swallowing my pride, next morning, I grabbed my dance and turned in my resignation,
02:35Mr. Spector, my boss, wasn't having it, with my track record, he tried hard to change my mind,
02:40while we were talking, Owen strolled in with some files, one look and bam, love bite on his neck,
02:45fruity perfume still clinging to him, he looked like he just crawled out of someone else's bed,
02:48funny, he used to hate when I left marks, said it looked unprofessional, so I never did,
02:52even at our most intense, I'd dig into the sheets instead, guess it wasn't about the marks,
02:56just who they came from, Mr. Spector groaned, perfect, talk to your girlfriend, she's quitting,
03:00you two fight or something, it's not about him, I said, you're resigning,
03:03Owen jumped in, talking over me, his eyes flicked to mine, jaw clenched, knew it, he said,
03:07you're still mad about the wedding being cancelled yesterday, huh, Mr. Spector ducked out to give
03:11space, as the door clicked shut, Owen came closer, I told you, Vanessa hurt her leg,
03:15that's why I cancelled, why are you being so petty, I kept my voice even, I'm not mad,
03:19just tired, I need a break, he crossed his arms, frowning, then take a vacation, quitting like
03:23this makes it seem like you've got beef with Vanessa, how's a young girl like her supposed
03:26to stay here if people start whispering, he forgot, all my vacation days, burned on every wedding he
03:30bailed on, but sure let's worry about poor Vanessa, the thought left me hollow, my eyes drifted to the
03:34mark on his neck, I didn't say a word, he caught me looking and covered it fast, it's a mosquito
03:38bite,
03:38don't overthink it, weird, no fight, just excuses, sloppy ones, ones I used to fall for, I nodded,
03:44kept quiet, Owen let out a breath and grinned, slinging an arm around my shoulder, that's more
03:48like it, a good lawyer knows how to let stuff go, don't quit over this, okay, I'll make it up
03:52to you,
03:52dinner at Lunaya tonight, I didn't say a word, he took my silence as a yes, I meant to say
03:56goodbye,
03:56keep it clean, now, I didn't even feel like bringing up Carverton, Owen, Vanessa barged in like she owned
04:00the place, he flinched and dropped his arm, Vanessa gave this fake little laugh, sorry to crash your date,
04:05but I really need help, I'm confused about this case, without a glance my way, he walked over,
04:09took the file, and leaned in to ask what part she didn't get, she cozied right up to him,
04:13they whispered like I wasn't even there, locked in their own little bubble, then she linked her arm
04:16through his and strutted out with him, just before the door shut, she turned, flashed me a smug little
04:19smile then yinth it closed hard, bang, the empty office went still, and then crack, my bracelet snapped
04:24clean off and shattered across the floor, no warning, it was our first anniversary gift, Owen said it
04:29symbolized how perfect and unbreakable we were, I stared for a beat, then quietly picked up the pieces,
04:32ignoring the sting, tossed them and the last of whatever we had straight in the trash, after I
04:36handed in my resignation to Mr. Spector, I went back to my desk to wrap things up, Judy who was
04:40taking
04:40over from me shot me a look like she wasn't ready to let go, Reiny seriously, you're bailing, now I'm
04:44stuck watching those two drool over each other all day, she nodded toward Owen and Vanessa, Owen looked
04:48like he was giving Vanessa a mild lecture, but whatever tension there was vanished when he pulled out a
04:51luxury bracelet like it was a freaking magic trick, Vanessa lit up and slid it on like it was her
04:55birthday,
04:55then she saw me, and panicked, Ms. Reinsdorf, I swear there's nothing going on with me and Owen,
05:00it's just a bracelet, all eyes swung to us, five years with Owen, and he never bought me anything
05:04remotely nice, and just like him, everyone here thought I was some clueless girl from nowhere who
05:07couldn't tell real luxury from knockoff, the penny hit like a slap, even Judy was seething, we were
05:11still dating him and they're making a fool out of you, I gave her hand a quick squeeze and shook
05:14my
05:14head, chill, then I looked at Vanessa, it's a gorgeous bracelet, suits you, she blinked, clearly expecting
05:19fireworks, Ms. Reinsdorf, seriously, it's just a regular bracelet, please don't be upset, upset, not even
05:25close, I had stuff like that lying around back in cabin, Owen stood up, all frowning,
05:29Reini stopped being unreasonable, I sighed and shook my head, I'm not mad, y'all really need to stop
05:34making stuff up about me, I kept it chill, but Owen looked thrown, then rolled his eyes, you better
05:38not be, he sat back down and talked to Vanessa with him, Judy leaned close, you're just gonna let
05:41that slide, I shrugged, flipping through some files, yeah, as far as I'm concerned, we're done, after 52
05:47failed wedding attempts, I was beyond over it, after work, Owen actually came over to help me pack,
05:51hey, I vote Lunaya for eight, let's hate out, then he noticed my bare wrist and froze, where's the
05:55bracelet I gave you, I didn't want to risk breaking it so I left it at home, he eased up,
05:59smiled a little, you used to wait every day, why stop now, I hadn't even thought of a lie yet
06:04when Vanessa came bouncing over, Owen, I'm all packed, he turned to her instantly, nodding like
06:08she was the only person in the room, wait in the car, she made a deal line for the front
06:11passenger
06:11seat, in five years, I never sat there, he always said that spot was for his future wife told me
06:15to
06:15wait till we were married, Vanessa shot me a smug little look, I just dipped my head, silent,
06:19not like it hurt anymore, I had Lunaya, they sat cozied up on the same side, ordering without even
06:23glancing at me, didn't bother me, I just leaned on my hand and stared out the window, after tomorrow,
06:27none of this would matter, when the fruit showed up, Owen peeled a small plate of shrimp and slid it
06:31toward me, shrimp saw it here, I looked up and caught his soft smile, didn't expect him to
06:35remember me in a moment like that, then Vanessa jumped in, I picked this place, last time, he ate
06:39three whole plates, Owen turned red, why would you say that in front of my fiancee, she giggled and
06:44looked at me like she suddenly remembered I existed, oops, sorry, Ms. Reinsdorf, didn't mean to ruin
06:48his image, they laughed together, right in front of me, I stared at the shrimp, suddenly, it tasted
06:52like nothing, I forced one down, then pushed the plate away, not my thing, you guys can finish
06:56it, shut them up for a second, Owen asked, careful, are you upset, I shook my head, nah,
07:01just too fishy, not used to it, like the two of you waking, after dinner, Owen walked Vanessa home,
07:06drunk and clinging to him, I was the one who closed the door behind them, then I called a cab
07:09to the
07:10airport, meanwhile, Owen was still blowing up our chat about the next wedding, probably felt guilty
07:14or whatever, don't worry, this time it'll happen, nothing's going to get in our way, me, okay, but I
07:19already knew, it'd crash like every other time, right before I boarded, another message popped
07:23up, Vanessa's stomach hurts from drinking, I'm not coming home tonight, take care of yourself,
07:27I actually laughed, cold and quiet, saw it coming a mile away, me, no problem, stay at her place,
07:32I've moved out, from now on, we're done, Owen, goodbye, forever, I blocked him right after,
07:37deleted the whole thread, on the plane, I watched Ainsley glow in the distance, back there, Owen was
07:41probably still staring at his screen, stunned, Vanessa was already sober, only one light glowed in the room,
07:46she slid her hands over Owen's chest, dressed in a tiny slip, Owen, he shut her off, don't, she froze,
07:51his phone kept looping the same line, sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable, he'd lost count,
07:55no answer, no way, she's just mad, he muttered, jumping up, she doesn't mean it, I'll go home,
08:01that'll fix it, Owen grabbed his shoes and bolted, tuning out Vanessa yelling after him,
08:05he blew through red lights the whole way back, the second he opened the door, pitch black,
08:08Riny hated the dark, even when he wasn't home, she leave a light on, his chest tightened,
08:12Riny, he called into the silence, nothing, click, he flipped the switch, the room was bare,
08:17she was gone, like, really gone, he crept toward the bedroom, nerves shot, still clinging to hope,
08:21spotless, on the nightstand, their only photo ripped, just his half left, his eyes locked on
08:26the background, college graduation, that was the day he swore he always treat her right,
08:29then came the law firm, then Vanessa, and little by little, he shoved Riny aside,
08:33he knew he messed up but told himself he always made it right, like that last cancelled wedding he took
08:37her to loonire after, that counted, right, but then he froze, dinner for two turned into three,
08:41he never even asked what she wanted, she said the shrimp tasted off, and he just left her there,
08:45no, he hadn't treated her right, not even close, panic hit hard, he tore through the apartment like
08:49she might've left something behind, nothing, he stood frozen, that strawberry cake he swore he'd
08:53get Riny, Vanessa ate it, the roses he bought on the way home, gave those to Vanessa too just because
08:57she liked them, over and over, Riny's gifts ended up in the wrong hands, no wonder she left nothing behind,
09:02meanwhile, Vanessa's place, total luxury showroom, expensive bracelet, custom bed, smart everything,
09:06designer closet, all on his dime, the more he thought about it, the worse it got,
09:11he jumped in the car and floored it to the firm, Mr. Spector was locking up when Owen rushed up,
09:14out of breath, did Riny queep, Spector blinked, you didn't know, she came in earlier,
09:18insisted on resigning, said it had nothing to do with you, and she'd explain to you later,
09:22Owen froze, flashes of Riny trying to talk to him hit hard, but every time, Vanessa had dragged him
09:26off, he'd even defended her earlier that day, he never gave Riny a real shot to say anything,
09:30all he saw was Vanessa, grabbing Spector's shoulders, eyes wild, he asked,
09:33do you know where she went, Mr., Spector didn't flinch, just brushed him off,
09:36she's not my employee anymore, call her yourself, out of leads, Owen slumped into a chair,
09:40and just sat there, for what felt like forever, memories started creaking in,
09:44he and Riny met five years ago right at the law school gate, Riny had just finished a case with
09:47her advisor and was heading back to her dorm when Owen spotted her, despite her protests,
09:51he insisted on carrying her suitcase all the way to the undergrad dorms, that's when she had to break
09:54it to him she was a grad student, awkward, kinda cute, that's how it all started,
09:58then came the coincidences shared meals, same lectures, casual hangouts that slowly turned
10:01into something more, she followed him to Ainsley, hoping they'd build their life together,
10:05it wasn't home to her, but she tried to make it one, then came the talks about marriage,
10:08and right on cue, Vanessa showed up as the intern taking off all of Owen's time,
10:11all of his attention, even Judy was mad for her, calling Vanessa shameless, but Riny knew the truth,
10:15it was never just about Vanessa, if it hadn't been her, it would've been someone else,
10:19Owen would've hurt her for anyone, Owen finally stood, tired of just sitting there,
10:22out of the corner of his eye, something in the trash glinted,
10:24he walked over and froze her broken bracelet, that's when it hit him, it had snapped today,
10:28right when Vanessa pulled him away,
10:31finally got free, I'm not helping you drag her back into hell,
10:34he had nothing to say, she was right, he'd screwed up too many times, maybe Judy had hated him all
10:38along, Riny was the only one who ever kept trying, until she couldn't anymore, Judy slapped him hard
10:42across the face and walked off, Owen just stood there, pong on his cheek, whispering,
10:46then I'll go to Caberton and find her, by the time I got back to Caberton, it was already late,
10:49my parents' early sleepers, always were by the arrival gate, scanning every face,
10:53the second I spotted them, I ran straight into the arms, my voice shaking,
10:56mom dad, Dan ruffled my hair, smiling wide,
10:59you're home, that's all that matters, home hadn't changed a bit, after two days of crashing,
11:03I jumped into work at the law firm they built, they kept it hush hush, no one knew I was
11:06their kid,
11:06I had to go through everything like a regular movie, probation and all, but honestly,
11:09I felt lighter, free, starting now, I was doing this for me, if I crushed it in Ainsley,
11:13I could do it here too, three months in, I passed probation, my parents threw a mini feast at home,
11:18knew my girl would crush it, getting through probation at their firm, no joke,
11:21right as mom started setting the table, the doorbell rang,
11:24I opened it without thinking and there he was, Olin, three months no contact,
11:27Reini, he looked rough, thinner, messy hair, nothing like the guy from Ainsley,
11:31his voice was all scratchy, mom started walking over, what's going on,
11:35panic mode, I shoved him outside, be right back mom,
11:38dragged him down the stairs and let go once I was sure she wasn't trailing us,
11:40how do you even find me, he shifted, looking guilty,
11:42please don't be mad, I've been looking everywhere,
11:44yesterday I spotted your mom driving into this neighborhood,
11:47asked around heat up some old classmates followed her here, stood outside forever before knocking,
11:50then he pulled out a bracelet from his coat,
11:52the one you broke, I dug the pieces out of the trash and had it fixed,
11:55I stared, four years on my wrist, now back like some ghost,
11:57even repaired, the cracks were obvious, I didn't take it, keep it, give it to Vanessa,
12:02though with all the designer crap you've spoiled her with this probably looks like garbage,
12:04his head dropped, I messed up, I'm sorry, I didn't see it until you left,
12:08just one chance, let me fix this,
12:10no, didn't even blink, I'm not walking back into that hell twice,
12:13Olin didn't say a word, just shut the bracelet into my hand like that would fix anything,
12:16take it, it's your favorite, doesn't mean anything, I just hope it makes you smile,
12:20I laughed, sharp and cold, eyes locked on the stupid thing,
12:22yeah, I don't care about it anymore, then I chucked it straight into the trash,
12:25heard it crack at the bottom like it knew it was done, his eyes went white, mouth open,
12:29nothing came out, I only cared about it cause I loved you,
12:31everything you gave me used to matter, now, I can't even look at you,
12:34you make me sick, his eyes went red, he rubbed one like he could hide it,
12:37first time I ever saw him cry, but me, I'd cried plenty,
12:39when he got jumped after his first case, when he finally got that apartment in Ainsley,
12:42at our first wedding, and the first time he bitched me for Vanessa yet, I cried like it was the
12:46end of
12:46the world, he went from acting like he cared to not giving a damn, now he was crying just because
12:50I finally didn't want him, losing his perfect little maid, yay, that'll sting, I didn't look
12:54back, just went home to finish dinner, played it cool, my parents had no clue he showed up they
12:57were too busy loading up my plate and swapping lawyer hats, mom chatting away, dad peeling shrimp for me
13:01it all felt so easy with them, with Owen, I had to beg for that kind of warmth, never got
13:05it,
13:05good thing I'm still young, the next morning at work, the receptionist gave me a look,
13:08Ms. Reinsdorf, are you seeing someone, I shot her a brow, she pulled a bouquet and a little gift
13:12band from under the desk, some guy dropped these off, said you weren't feeling great,
13:16like girl problems, told me to tell you to drink something warm, and the flowers,
13:18said they'd brighten your day, I didn't touch the bouquet, just check the card,
13:21Reiny, I'll send you flowers every day from now on, obviously, Owen, I backed away like they were
13:25radioactive, toss them, probably poisoned, she didn't hesitate, got it, got it, but Owen,
13:30kept acting like he didn't know they were going straight to the trash, he sent flowers every single day,
13:34like clockwork, soon, everyone at the firm thought I had a secret admirer,
13:37the younger ones kept dropping by to cry, I fed them random excuses, the receptionist was losing
13:41it, I told her to chuck the flowers at Owen's face and tell him to buzz off, didn't slow him
13:44down,
13:45he just got sneakier, started dropping them off at the door, I had no clue how he still had gas
13:48in
13:48the tank for this, one morning, I snapped, woke up early, caught him in the act, and stormed out,
13:53I chucked the bouquet right at his chest, this isn't sweet, it's straight up creepy, cut it out,
13:57Owen flinched, surprised, he bent down, all awkward, I just want you to be happy,
14:01seeing your face ruins my mood, when are you gonna get that, he looked down, totally deflated,
14:04I really thought Owen had finally peaced out of Hatterton, but nope, dude roped in some of my
14:07own co-workers to pull a fast one on me, people I actually liked, by the time I stepped onto
14:11the
14:11lawn, I was floored, it was the weekend, and just seeing Owen wrecked my whole vibe, he recreated
14:15our first wedding same setup, same talks I had custom made for him, and there he was, grinning
14:19like a dope, Reiny Reinstorf, will you marry me, cue the co-workers going wild, say yes, say yes,
14:23my blood boiled, after days of stalking and drama, how the hell did he think this would work,
14:27his eyes lit up, like he actually believed this would be a fairy tale ending,
14:29you seriously think a knockoff wedding's gonna fix this, I snapped, slapped him, hard, right there in
14:33front of everyone, silence, just the music still playing, someone nearby mumbled, he said he's
14:37your boyfriend, are you too just, you're really buying that, I shot back, aren't you all lawyers,
14:41try using your brains, where's the proof, they all stared at each other, suddenly super interested
14:44in their shoes, Owen stepped toward me, I backed up on instinct, I know I screwed up, he said, I
14:49didn't
14:49think this would fix everything, I just wanted to make it up to you, I thought maybe, maybe you'd smile
14:52again, I got wrapped up in Vanessa, at first, she was just an intern, she reminded me of us, young,
14:56lost, I hated seeing her get yelled at, so I defended her, thought it was something real, but I was
15:00just
15:00running from the truth, I was wrong, when you left, it hit me, I've only ever loved you, I never
15:05wanted
15:05to marry anyone else, I'll redo the wedding 52 more times, if that's what it takes, we can register
15:09today if you want, stay in Capitan, I'll stay, go back to Ainsley, I'm there, I'm not walking away
15:13again, just give me one more shot, his voice cracked, eyes red, but me, none, second chances, I gave him
15:1852,
15:19and he blew every single one, he was in love with someone else, didn't even try to hide it, even
15:22if I said yes now,
15:23he just fade out again, some things don't get fixed, the second I came back,
15:26we were done, in your dreams, I kept a chill, got in the cab, and bounced, Owen just stood there,
15:31then he ran after the car like that didn't change anything, too late, none of it mattered anymore,
15:34after that whole circus, I told everyone at the firm I was off the market for books, no dates,
15:38no flings, no guys trying to charm their way in, I was all in on my career now, Owen, he
15:42vanished,
15:42probably crawled back to Ainsley, meanwhile, I locked in, case after case, I crushed it, people in legal
15:47circles started dropping my name, then one day, a co-worker accidentally found out I was related to the
15:50firm's partners, a.p. my parents, I braced for the nepotism whispers, instead, they crapped up,
15:54no wonder you're such a beast, you've got the boss's DNA, only rock star parents could raise
15:57someone this good, and just like that, I exhaled, hearing their praise, I let out a breath I didn't
16:01know I was holding, yeah, I'd earned this, I started cashing in my vacation days and hit the road,
16:06summer, I was beachside, soaking up sun, fall, hiking through insane mountain views, winter,
16:10curled up at my parents' place, watching snowfall, spring, climbing peaks like I was chasing the new
16:14year, time flew, I stopped counting the years, but eventually, I hit top performer status again,
16:18in cavern team, everyone knew my name, need a lawyer, I was their first call, people tried to shoot their
16:22shot,
16:22but I shut it down every time, the only man I trusted was my dad, and honestly, I almost forgot
16:26Owen ever existed, one day, a close friend asked if I wanted to visit Ainsley, five years ago,
16:30that would've been a hard no, now, I just raised a brow, perfect, I know Ainsley like the back of
16:34my hand, I'll be your tour guide, the second I step off the plane, it all came rushing back,
16:38while we were cruising around town, we passed my old law firm, I shot my friend a quick look and
16:42jumped out, had to see Judy, it'd been five years, we both looked different, I glanced at the wall of
16:46honor and there she was, Judy, now a senior partner, I couldn't stop smiling,
16:49that voice, I turned around, Judy's long hair was gone now it was sleek and sharp,
16:53she looked like she fully stepped into her power, it's really you, she rushed over and hugged me
16:56tight, I missed you so much, I smiled, I was in town with a friend and figured I'd swing by,
17:00Judy grinned, did you hear, Owen and Vanessa are long gone, apparently, in the past five years,
17:04Owen totally lost his edge, couldn't win a case to save his life, Vanessa, she tricked him into getting
17:08her pregnant, then quit working altogether, just laid around, living off him, Owen finally hit his limit
17:12and tried to leave, but Vanessa, clung on like it was her full-time job, within a year, it was
17:16chaos,
17:16she even brought her whole family over, demanding a wedding, already spiraling, Owen snapped,
17:20Mr. Spector booted him after yet another blown case, everyone in Ainsley knew he was a walking
17:23punchline, he ended up selling the apartment and dragging Vanessa back to his tiny hometown,
17:27I blinked, he worked so hard to escape that place only to land right back where he started,
17:30Judy just laughed, serves him right, after what he put you through, he earned every bit of it,
17:34I nodded, smiling, she wasn't wrong, just then, my friend strolled over, what are you two gossiping
17:38about, Judy gave her a once over, smiling, this must be your friend, she's stunning,
17:42I laughed, yup, want to hang out together?
17:44Definitely.
17:48My mom died of a serious illness three years ago, under her will, I was married to
17:53Arthur and his son, Charles, oh good, you're here, Jenny, Charles had to go abroad for work,
17:58but he promises when he returns, he's going to get you a grand wedding, relax, you two have
18:03known each other since childhood, he's going to be a really good husband, Charles is coming
18:08back to me, we've only met as kids, will he recognize me?
18:16Mom, how am I supposed to recognize, you never told me what she looks like, she's supposed
18:19to wear a red fishtail dress I bought her, she must be the sexiest one there, anyway, lucky
18:25that he can marry me, surprise Charles, I'm running late after this, oh no, oh no, I am so very
18:32sorry, is there anything I can do, no, don't worry, don't worry, no surprise will never
18:36happen, hi, Charles, hi, I'm your wife, Jenny, or you can call me Detective Jay, I know I'm
18:40only an intern right now, but soon I'll be the next Charlotte Holmes, no, that's too much,
18:43I'm going to scare him away, is that Charles?
18:57She's way too perfect, it's him, my love, he's coming toward me, my love, but if only she's
19:09wearing a red dress, she's not the one I'm looking for, no, it's not him, my wife, let's
19:16get back to the detective agency, do you say you have the case assigned to me, this sometimes
19:20slutty woman, why won't Charles meet with me, does he regret our marriage, Wayne, find me
19:30the best detective for investigating fidelity, keep my identity hidden, I do not need this affecting
19:34the company, weren't you going to give me the big case?
19:44So you'll give me a billion if I can get CV's asset proofs?
19:46That land in downtown New York is going up for auction in a week, without the asset proofs,
19:49Charles won't have the rest to bid on it, he'll be forced to give it to me, oh gosh, I
19:54heard
19:54CV has already invested half of its assets into the construction, so if you can get it,
19:57that would be a fatal blow to CV, it's a dollar on whether or not I can crush Charles, it's
20:03time to call Johnson, yes, I'll get back what I lost in love, but where can I find
20:09work as a rookie, I should go find some missing cat now, I got a billion already, I don't
20:14need for these low profit cases, okay, investigating his wife and fidelity, this sounds exciting,
20:23you wanna take this crap, take it, I got a big case, really, I know you're something challenging,
20:31I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll be here, I love you.
20:31Mr. Charles, are you sure you're ready to divorce your wife?
20:34It's been three years, it's time to find me on this thing.
20:36What about Mrs. Mina?
20:38When she finds out Jenny cheated first, she'll support me.
20:41Speaking of, how is the detective thing coming along?
20:43She should be here now.
20:47Okay. Let's go.
20:52No, wait. CV group? Why did Jennifer give me this case?
20:56I have to be great. I can't let my client down.
20:59The client's email said I should wait at the reception.
21:01Someone will take me upstairs.
21:03One mysterious client, definitely a big shot.
21:08Hey, get lost. Who do you think you are walking in here just like that?
21:10You're gonna dirty our floor.
21:12I have an important client. She told me to wait here.
21:13I have an important client. Like who? The janitor?
21:15Do you want me to show you where the bathroom is so you can get ready?
21:17Hey, someone just reported a missing diamond bracelet in the locker room.
21:20Have you seen it?
21:22Bracelet? I don't know.
21:24It's her. I saw her walking that way.
21:27She was here looking for sugar daddies and now she's stealing.
21:29I didn't steal any.
21:30We'll figure it out. You're gonna have to come with me.
21:31No, no, no. Wait.
21:33This missing bracelet, is it the one with a square cut diamond and a horse bit clasp?
21:37Yeah, that's the one.
21:39How do you know that? You must have stolen it.
21:41Maybe because it looks exactly like the one you have on your wrist.
21:44Bullshit. I happen to have a look at the same style.
21:46Oh, yeah?
21:47Then how do you know it's exactly the same style as yours?
21:51I am the face of Steve B.
21:53Slandering me.
21:54It's like slandering Steve B.
21:55It's Charles.
21:57Mr. Mr. Charles.
21:58It's her.
22:00You're Charles?
22:00Yeah.
22:02Mr. Mr. Charles.
22:05How dare you call a CEO by name?
22:06No way.
22:08My husband Charles is also a CEO.
22:10Could he be?
22:13It's her.
22:14My Charles couldn't possibly be this handsome.
22:17This woman is plotting against me.
22:18She gets trying to slander me.
22:20I'm gonna get her out now.
22:20No.
22:24Show me your hand.
22:25You can't do that.
22:26You're gonna show it to me?
22:27Over here.
22:27I can probably pass.
22:30You're fine.
22:31What?
22:31Why?
22:32No, please give me a chance.
22:32A thief cannot represent us.
22:35Mr. Charles, this is the best detective.
22:38Mr. Detective, that was quite impressive.
22:40I'm sure you can help me out, but it seems you lack self-defense skills.
22:43Mr. Charles, you can't be a detective in our line of work without self-defense skills.
22:49The real detectives carry these?
22:52Detective, why don't we head upstairs to discuss our cooperation?
22:56I need to confirm it.
22:57If I've mistaken him for the wrong person, this deal is done.
23:01Your wife cheated on you?
23:04Why do you sound so excited?
23:05How about that?
23:06Well, I'm not cheating.
23:07Thank God.
23:08He's not my husband.
23:09I'm just, I...
23:10I really hate cheaters.
23:11I mean, if you're not gonna be loyal, why even bother getting married?
23:17If only she thought like that.
23:21Don't worry.
23:22If what you said is true, I'll get the evidence we need and throw her to the cleaners.
23:26No.
23:29It's my fault that she's been alone all these years.
23:31If she agrees to the divorce, I want to give her five million in compensation.
23:34If only my husband could take responsibility like this guy.
23:37That's really generous.
23:39I'm sure she'll accept the offer.
23:41Okay.
23:42We got what we need and I'll get in touch.
23:45Oh, um, I didn't catch your name.
23:47Oh, I'm...
23:50I'm just...
23:53Sweetheart, come home for dinner tonight.
23:55Charles is coming.
23:56It's time for you two to meet.
23:57I really don't think he wants to see me right now.
23:59He asked so much about you before.
24:00He does care.
24:01Anyway, see you tonight.
24:02But could it be that he hates me?
24:04Maybe it was a misunderstanding.
24:05I'm sorry, I really have to go, but I'll keep in touch with your assistant.
24:10This is my whole set.
24:11She doesn't seem very professional.
24:13She didn't ask about your wife or even the fees.
24:15I will find someone else.
24:17No.
24:18I trust her.
24:19She can handle it.
24:20Miss J?
24:21Interesting.
24:22By the way, sir, CVS approved has been remembered.
24:24Excellent.
24:24Make sure to keep it safe.
24:26That document is critical to us requiring that land.
24:29Yes, sir, I will.
24:30And credit to the financial manager, Mr. Johnson, for safekeeping.
24:32All right.
24:33Thanks, man.
24:38Jennifer, thank you so much.
24:39This is my first major case ever.
24:40What?
24:41Yeah.
24:41It's the CEO of CV Group.
24:42I'll definitely treat you once I get this piece of stuff.
24:47The CV CEO?
24:49He said we just made it to New York.
24:50That idiot got this gig.
24:54Hey, Mom.
24:55Hi.
24:57Just you?
24:58Where's Jenny?
24:59Can't wait even a second to see her, huh?
25:03I just don't understand why she'd want to marry me.
25:06Why would you say something like that?
25:08You know what she was doing at the airport?
25:10She was kissing another man right there in public.
25:12I saw it.
25:13Jenny cheated on you?
25:16Mina, you're my best friend.
25:18When I go, take care of Jenny for me.
25:20Don't worry.
25:21I promise.
25:21Charles and I will take good care of her.
25:25Mom, I promise I'll listen to Aunt Mina.
25:26And I'll never disappoint Charles.
25:28No.
25:29Jenny would never do something like that.
25:32She's here.
25:33Ask her yourself.
25:39Hi.
25:39Hi.
25:40I have an order for Mr. Charles.
25:41I didn't order those.
25:42You got the wrong person.
25:42I ordered them.
25:43You can't meet Jenny for the first time without flowers.
25:45Awesome.
25:45Could you please sign right here?
25:47Thank you so much.
25:47Thank you so much.
25:48Have a great night.
25:52Mom, you ordered flowers.
25:53You arranged the wedding.
25:54Why not spend the rest of your life with her?
25:56What are you talking about?
25:57Stay here.
25:57Jenny will be here any minute now.
25:59I have a meeting about the ocean.
26:01It's going to be fun.
26:06I'll have her meet you at the HS club.
26:07You have to sort this out.
26:09Don't forget.
26:10I won't.
26:11I'll be not so sorry.
26:12I'm late.
26:12Sweetheart.
26:13Okay, so Charles is back already.
26:15Don't call me Aunt anymore.
26:17Mom?
26:18That's right.
26:23Is Charles not here yet?
26:25He's busy planning your wedding.
26:26You couldn't make it tonight.
26:27He feels bad for not giving you a proper wedding the first time.
26:30I guess I misunderstood him.
26:31He's been busy planning the wedding and I thought he was regretting it.
26:34Jenny would never be unfaithful.
26:36I need to find a way to clear up the misunderstanding.
26:38He's going to meet you at the HS tonight.
26:39He can't wait to see you.
26:40He'll be there as soon as he can.
26:48I need your help.
26:50I have my wife's location.
26:51Follow her.
26:52Get evidence on her affair.
26:53The boss trusts me.
26:54I have to prove myself with this opportunity.
26:55But what about my husband?
26:57All right, just send me her location.
26:58The HS club on Baker Street.
27:00What?
27:00What's wrong?
27:01Is there a problem?
27:02No problem.
27:03I'll be there soon.
27:04What a coincidence.
27:05It's also HS.
27:06Sorry, I have to go with this work thing.
27:08Okay, go.
27:08Go.
27:14Kind of nervous for my very first real mission.
27:17Sweetheart, I got the CV assets proof.
27:19What can you offer in exchange?
27:21As long as you help me, you can have whatever you want.
27:23Mr. Allen will be hanging even.
27:24Then tonight, come to room 506.
27:30Isn't that CV's briefcase?
27:34Shit.
27:35This man is going to betray the CV girl.
27:41Oh, Jenny.
27:42Why are you here?
27:43I came to meet my husband.
27:45Why are you here?
27:47I came to meet a friend.
27:49Aren't you supposed to be helping the CEO of CV Invest?
27:51Stop slacking off.
27:52Go on, leave.
27:52No, yeah, I saw a man enter with a CV briefcase.
27:54I think he's going to sell out CV.
27:55Damn, she fell down.
27:57I may lose all my money.
27:58Maybe I should just join us in there.
27:59Yeah, oh, you better investigate carefully then.
28:01If that's the case, it's a chance for you to prove yourself, huh?
28:03Okay, don't worry.
28:07Hey, look at that.
28:09Not...
28:14If you want to prove yourself, you don't need this.
28:15Wait, a professional detective doesn't need this.
28:18Go on, I'll wait outside.
28:19Be free.
28:24The sweet little detective from CD group is in your room now.
28:26Treat her well.
28:27If this gets exposed, you know what'll happen.
28:29It really is a CV briefcase.
28:30They must have something important inside.
28:31I need to help Mr. Charles get it back.
28:33I can take them in.
28:35And can you lend me a shirt?
28:37I'll pay for it.
28:40Here are your drinks, sir.
28:42Make sure to take it.
28:43I'm expecting a very important guest.
28:50I heard you're Charles Newgrounds, little cupcake.
28:54Let go of me!
28:56What a beauty.
28:57If I stick to a CEO, then you can come with me.
28:59I'll treat you.
29:00I'm a hired detective by your CEO.
29:01You're just a detective.
29:02But if you're sleeping with me, he wouldn't care.
29:04Well, maybe it's too hot.
29:05Nope!
29:12Who dares still interrupt my bun?
29:14Where is it?
29:20One girl is not enough.
29:21Remember what Alan wants me.
29:28Why isn't Jay answering?
29:29Something must have happened to her.
29:31Wayne, take me to the HS club.
29:32Sorry, boss.
29:33Traffic's too bad.
29:36You filthy bitch.
29:37You slut.
29:39Who are you calling?
29:40Help!
29:40Jay?
29:41Jay?
29:42Are you okay?
29:44Jay?
29:45Jay?
29:46Are you okay?
29:47If Charles finds out that I'm stealing documents from his company and trying to sleep with his detective,
29:51I'm done.
29:52You filthy bitch!
29:53You worked for our CEO as his detective just so you can steal secrets from CV that you can sell
29:57to Alan's company.
29:58If I wouldn't have caught you, you would have ruined CV.
30:00What are you talking about?
30:01But it's you!
30:04Jay?
30:05Jay?
30:06So what?
30:07You think he'll believe you or me?
30:08Who's worked with him for years?
30:09I'll tell him that you tried to seduce me because you were afraid of getting figured out.
30:12He'll kill you for it.
30:13Get away from me, you fucking monster!
30:15Oh yeah?
30:16Yell louder, no one's here to save you.
30:19Boss, Johnson's worked for us for years.
30:21If he was going to betray us, he would have done it by now.
30:23Do you really think the new detective sold us out?
30:25No, I don't believe Jay would do that.
30:29Fucking monster!
30:29Oh yeah?
30:30Yell louder, no one's here to save you.
30:32Charles, help!
30:36Charles, help!
30:37Later!
30:38The more you struggle, the more excited, I guess.
30:39You're right, baby.
30:43You okay?
30:44Mr. Charles?
30:46Mr. Charles, this is detective you are.
30:47Shut up!
30:48We barely know each other, and Johnson works for him.
30:51There's no way he'd trust me.
30:52She's mine.
30:55What makes you think she would do something like this?
30:58I had no idea she was yours.
31:00If I had known, I would have never touched her.
31:02Thank God nothing happened.
31:04Nothing happened?
31:07Here's evidence.
31:09Johnson's stealing your cup.
31:18Mr. Charles, please, please, give me another chance.
31:21Mr. Charles, this bitch tried to seduce me.
31:24I'll have her meet you at the HS club.
31:25You have to sort this out.
31:26So my wife works for Al.
31:28She married me to take CB down?
31:30She said she would take down CB.
31:34Take the straighter out of here.
31:37I'm going to miss him.
31:42Charles, help!
31:44Which Charles was I calling?
31:46What did you mean by, I'm your...
31:51So, you still haven't answered my question?
31:56I mean...
32:00You work for me.
32:01It's my responsibility to protect you.
32:04Thanks for saving me.
32:06No, I should be thanking you for your footage.
32:09I wouldn't have been able to get Johnson done so easily.
32:11You knew Johnson's traitor before?
32:12Oh, Jenny, stop overtaking.
32:14It's late.
32:15I'm going to drive here.
32:15Thanks.
32:16I'll just get a taxi.
32:33Boss, Alan's company has spread the word that they're confident they can completely take us down at the auction in
32:36one week.
32:37Is there so sure?
32:38Could it have something to do with what Johnson has stolen?
32:40I'll have Miss J investigate.
32:41She witnessed Johnson's betrayal.
32:42She must be at the auction.
32:44It's so dangerous, Leslie.
32:45You should stop taking such dangerous cases from now on.
32:47None of this would have happened if you didn't take away my self-defense tools.
32:50You're the one who was incapable.
32:51Don't blame me.
32:52You should return the CD case to me.
32:53Just stay home and be a good wife.
32:54No, you didn't want the case.
32:55I got the case.
32:57And I'm not a quitter.
32:58And about my husband, Charles, it's none of your business.
33:00What did you say?
33:04Answer me.
33:07Answer me.
33:08I...
33:09My husband's name is Charles, too.
33:11Same as you and us, but he couldn't make it yesterday because he was too busy planning our wedding.
33:18Sorry.
33:19I just got too excited.
33:20So she's married.
33:22I understand.
33:24When I first heard your name, I thought it might be you, too.
33:28But what are you really here for?
33:31I'm here to talk business.
33:33I need you to attend an auction with me.
33:34To be honest, CV has a relentless enemy, Alan, and he will be competing against me for a major land
33:40acquisition downtown.
33:41Alan?
33:42Could it be the same Alan I know?
33:43You cheated on me when my mom was dying?
33:46We're over.
33:48I suspect my wife will be attending as well.
33:50She might be a spy set up for him.
33:53Understood.
33:55You know, I've worked so hard to get CV's asset proof for you.
33:59How will you thank me?
34:00Don't you worry.
34:00I get this land today.
34:01I will repay you.
34:02CV's financial chain is dependent on this land.
34:05That's when I get it.
34:06CV is done.
34:07They'll have nothing to come at me.
34:09After putting up with all of these men, I'm finally getting rich.
34:18CV is the one that Charles warned me about.
34:20CV's enemy.
34:22Jenny!
34:23What are you doing here?
34:24Someone like you doesn't belong in a place like this.
34:25Jenny?
34:26Damn.
34:27Is this how you ended up after you left me?
34:28That's rough.
34:29What are you doing here with him?
34:30Wait.
34:31Did Alan cheat on me with you?
34:34Well, as a talented detective, I'm here to help Alan.
34:37Good for the property, obviously.
34:38Unlike you, who can't even do anything for herself.
34:40I guess your husband couldn't even buy you a decent dress.
34:44So she's been working for Alan all this time?
34:45No wonder.
34:46Jenny, look at me now.
34:47I bet you regret leaving me, don't you?
34:48But how about this?
34:49I got an idea.
34:50If you just apologize to me in front of everybody and admit to being wrong, I don't know.
34:54Maybe I'll forgive you.
34:55Are you kidding?
34:56No.
34:57I don't need your forgiveness.
34:59After all, it was you who was cheating on me with her all along.
35:02Well, Alan is the big client here today at the auctions.
35:04If you don't apologize, I'll have the organizers throw you out.
35:06You want to try it?
35:06Go ahead.
35:07Jenny, how important is this bidding to you?
35:10What do you mean?
35:10Well, I just thought the whole thing was about you finding a sugar daddy.
35:12If I were you, I would be down on my knees begging.
35:15Maybe I could introduce you to somebody.
35:17Well, I'm not like her.
35:18We'll do anything for money.
35:19You're a disgrace to us detectives.
35:21You fucking bitch!
35:22What did you just say?
35:30Are you okay?
35:34Showing us?
35:35So this is the CEO of CV.
35:36Handsome and rich, just like the rumors say.
35:39How could Jenny know him?
35:41You just said she's a detective.
35:47She really is my wife?
35:49How could my mom arrange such a woman for me?
35:51Oh, Mr. Charles, the one who should be standing by her side is me.
35:54Disgusting.
35:57Who do you think you are talking to my girl like that?
35:58Alan, your taste in people is just as terrible as your business skills.
36:02Attention everyone.
36:03The bidding will begin soon.
36:05Charles, I wouldn't get too cocky.
36:07Pretty soon you're going to be down on your knees begging.
36:09We'll see.
36:10Yeah.
36:11We'll see how the bidding goes without a proof of asset.
36:12Once your cash flow is done, it'll be nothing but a joke.
36:15Come on, babe.
36:17You saved me, then.
36:20You're my date tonight.
36:21It's my duty to protect you.
36:26Welcome, everyone, to tonight's bidding event.
36:29The first item up for bid is a prime plot of land in New York's most bustling district.
36:37The opening bid, $50 million.
36:40$60 million.
36:42$60 million. Quit embarrassing yourselves.
36:43How about $100 million right here?
36:46Oh, what's wrong?
36:47Can't the great CDC even afford this?
36:50I bet they don't even try to compete with this.
36:51Does the CDC even have the liquid funds for this bid?
36:53I don't think so.
36:58$500 million.
37:01Mr. Charles has just bid $500 million.
37:03It seems he's truly determined to win.
37:05Would anybody else like to make a higher bid?
37:07Didn't you say he couldn't bid? We don't have $500 million.
37:10$500 million going once?
37:13$500 million going twice?
37:16$500 million.
37:18Objection!
37:21Objection!
37:22Mr. Allen, why are you objecting?
37:24I would like to report that this man does not have proof of assets and he is not allowed to
37:27make that bid.
37:28That's right.
37:28That is a major violation of bidding.
37:30Getting expelled from the venue is one thing, but publicly bidding without asset proof, that's illegal.
37:34Mr. Charles, is this true?
37:36Absolutely not.
37:38Then show us the proof.
37:39You wouldn't mind, right?
37:40Bad news, sir.
37:42The safe containing the assets is missing.
37:45Missing!
37:46Missing!
37:46Where's the future company's cash flow?
37:47It's totally collapsed and you never had proof!
37:50Hold!
37:50He should be immediately expelled for lacking qualification and held legally accountable.
37:53Yeah, get him out of here!
37:54Get him out, he's a liar!
37:55I'm out!
37:57Charles, you've lost!
37:59The land is mine.
37:59Who says it's yours?
38:02CV's asset proof is right here.
38:10So close.
38:11It's real.
38:21CV's asset proof is valid.
38:23Mr. Charles is eligible to participate in the bidding.
38:25Mr. Allen, if you're not going to continue to bid, please, stop disrupting.
38:31You worthless idiot!
38:32You said that this was foolproof!
38:33How could you let this happen?
38:34I don't know!
38:36500 million!
38:37Going once!
38:39Going twice!
38:41Sold!
38:43Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Charles for winning the land!
38:45Ah!
38:48I've seen this horse before at one of Mina's parties.
38:50Could he recognize me?
38:51Mr. and Mrs. Charles, congratulations again on winning this wonderful plot of land.
38:54Wait.
38:54What did you just call her?
38:57Mrs. Charles.
38:58We've met before, Jenny.
38:59No way.
39:00You are...
39:03Mr. Downton, I think you're mistaken.
39:05He's my boss, not my husband.
39:08Boss?
39:09That's impossible.
39:10That's right.
39:11We're business partners.
39:12Mr. Downton, you've been to more than one of my mother's galas.
39:14Surely you wouldn't have mistaken my wife.
39:16But Mrs. Mina always brings this woman to the gala.
39:19Could it be?
39:20Is it because of the crowd?
39:22Are they playing some kind of game?
39:24I apologize.
39:25My mistake.
39:35As far as I know, your company is collapsing.
39:38You needed this land, didn't you?
39:40Mr. Charles, we're both in the same business.
39:43Please, show me some mercy.
39:44Give me a chance to redeem myself.
39:45You had someone steal confidential files from me.
39:48Save it for court.
39:50I swear to you, if you do this, you do not want to do this.
39:52I'm telling you, you tell them to go back right now.
39:54You do not want to do this.
39:55Come on.
39:55This is bullshit.
39:59Couldn't have done this without you.
40:01You're just a shameless mistress, Jenny.
40:02Don't think for a second that you've won.
40:06Still denying you're here for sugar daddy?
40:08What do you think you are so do you see the CDC?
40:09Oh, don't you know he's married?
40:09What is he talking about?
40:10From what I remember, Alan is married too.
40:12Huh.
40:13Look at you, throwing around accusations.
40:15You?
40:16I had him thrown out.
40:16I can do the same with you.
40:17If you think humiliating her will get you anywhere,
40:19I will share and expose all of your dirty little secrets to the entire world.
40:22See, if his president is actually defending this woman,
40:24Charles' wife just spent $10 million on him.
40:26Yet, he's openly protecting another woman?
40:29Oh, that's crazy.
40:30Shame on her.
40:31She's trying to seduce Charles so he can abandon his wife.
40:34Wow.
40:35Is she refusing to acknowledge me just to turn public opinion against Jenny?
40:37I shouldn't have come.
40:38What?
40:39I'm sorry, Mr. Charles, I shouldn't have accepted your invitation.
40:41Wait, wait.
40:49I should be the one apologizing.
40:55I failed you.
40:56I didn't even get you enough information about your wife's betrayal.
40:58I'm just, I'm sorry.
41:00It's not your fault.
41:01Just let me make it up to you.
41:03Why don't you join me for dinner at Eden Garden?
41:06Huh?
41:07You're inviting me to Eden Garden too?
41:09Who else?
41:11Oh, sorry.
41:12I gotta take this.
41:14I heard about what happened at the bidding.
41:16How could you let Jenny go through all that humiliation?
41:18She was there.
41:18Don't be ridiculous, Charles.
41:19You are her husband.
41:20How could you let her get humiliated like that?
41:22She told you?
41:24Jenny is not like what you thought.
41:25I told her to go to Eden Garden.
41:27Go in there and talk about it face to face.
41:29But I...
41:30Uh-oh.
41:32She must have misunderstood when she saw Miss Jay.
41:34Mr. Charles, unfortunately, I can't go to dinner with you.
41:37No, my husband must actually take me out tonight.
41:42It's alright.
41:43I actually have to leave too.
41:45But I could drive you if you want.
41:48Thank you, but I want to go buy some stuff for him.
41:51Okay.
41:56Compared to her husband, I'm just nobody.
42:04Lucky man.
42:05He's got such an integrated wife.
42:06And she only loves him.
42:12This time, he'll recognize me at first glance.
42:15Madam, thank you for all your help managing the restaurant for the past three years.
42:18Don't worry.
42:19It's thanks for you guys.
42:20Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it this far.
42:22Three years ago, mommy and I were worried I had no money to rely on.
42:24So she gifted me the Eden Garden.
42:26Madam, your VIP room is ready.
42:27Would you want to wait in there?
42:28No, it's fine.
42:29I want to see Charles as soon as possible.
42:30So, your guess is Mr. Charles?
42:45Stop.
42:48You were with Alan yesterday.
42:49Now you're kissing Johnson's ass?
42:54Shameless.
42:54So you figured it out.
42:55There's nothing left to hide now.
42:56So what?
42:57What are you going to do about it?
42:58He's a loser.
42:58Why are you even with this man?
42:59Just so you know, Mr. Alan promised me an executive position as a company.
43:03I'm going to be rich again.
43:04I take it you don't know Alan is in jail already.
43:06What?
43:07Honey, don't listen to her.
43:08Alan just got taken away to help investigate, but he'll be back soon.
43:11You think you can mess with me because Mr. Charles has your back, but he's married.
43:14And when he's tired of you, I'm going to make you pay.
43:18Call security.
43:21You don't have any proof now.
43:22This is the biggest restaurant in downtown.
43:24The owner is powerful and mysterious.
43:25You think you can command their security?
43:26Are you serious?
43:27I wonder when I became powerful and mysterious.
43:32I wonder when I became powerful and mysterious.
43:34Huh?
43:35What do you mean you own this place?
43:40Come on.
43:41CB owns this place.
43:42Who the fuck are you?
43:44You deserve bad luck.
43:46You know, she's been married for three years and she's never even met her husband.
43:49Where are you here?
43:49Looking for a sugar daddy?
43:50Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm actually here to meet my husband.
43:54Wait, wait, where'd you book?
43:56The bathroom?
43:57Oh, wait.
43:58The trash can in the kitchen.
44:01Maybe.
44:02If you beg, I'll let you serve me in the VIP room.
44:04I bet you've never been there, huh?
44:05Look, don't flatter yourself, Jennifer.
44:06The VIP room is actually already booked for me and my husband.
44:10Look, I thought you knew your shit.
44:13This is bullshit.
44:14If you book the VIP room, why don't you go in there instead of standing here?
44:17You know what?
44:17Keep standing here, I'd be prostituting you.
44:22I'm going in.
44:25Yeah, just go.
44:27Hope you don't get kicked out while eating.
44:36Miss J.
44:37What are you doing here?
44:38Weren't you supposed to be with your husband?
44:40Mr. Charles?
44:42I didn't expect him to be here with his wife, dining at my restaurant.
44:45Why don't you go inside?
44:46Do you need a reservation?
44:47No, yes.
44:48I'm just waiting for my husband.
44:50Well, why not wait inside?
44:51My wife is here.
44:52You could gather more evidence.
44:53Oh, but I...
44:54Sir, I'm Mrs. Charles.
44:56The food is ready.
44:56Shall we begin?
44:57What did you just call her?
45:00Mrs. Charles, what's the problem?
45:02You can't call me that.
45:03Why should I call you that?
45:04Enough.
45:05This is Miss J.
45:07My friend.
45:08Please be sure to see that she gets a better room.
45:10Oh, that's...
45:11I already booked...
45:11No, come on.
45:12I insist.
45:13I have to meet someone, otherwise I will show you to your room.
45:14The priest in character.
45:15It's good to see you.
45:16I told you not to call me that.
45:18No, look at this mess.
45:19Miss J.
45:26Thank you, honey.
45:27You must have paid quite a bit for this.
45:29Luckily, I got a friend working here.
45:30He told me this is the boss's room.
45:32It's nothing, babe.
45:33Just a meal.
45:34Nothing, babe.
45:37I gotta go to your semester.
45:40I'll be right back.
45:41Wait for me here, babe.
45:46Honey, why are you back so soon?
45:49So this is the good wife my mom keeps talking about.
45:52Again, hanging out with another man even before dating me.
45:55Mr. Charles?
45:57Is he coming to ask me about the asset proofs?
46:01Charles, we had a misunderstanding about Alan and the asset proofs.
46:05There's no misunderstanding.
46:06There's none.
46:08Okay, then why'd you come here for?
46:11To put me in jail?
46:12No.
46:13If I put my wife in jail, that would be a humiliation.
46:15I'm here to divorce you.
46:16What?
46:17A divorce?
46:18I agreed to meet you here because I need to divorce you.
46:21Maybe if you beg.
46:22I'll let you serve me in the VIP room.
46:24I bet you've never been there, huh?
46:25No way.
46:26Is Charles really Jenny's husband?
46:28Right.
46:29I wanted to meet you.
46:33Darling.
46:34You have no idea how much I missed you.
46:36How I've been living alone these past three years without you.
46:41I admit, I feel guilty for leaving without saying a word after our marriage.
46:49There's no love between us.
46:50Like this wine.
46:51One swirl.
46:52And it will dry out.
46:54Our divorce is best for both of us.
46:57If you agree, there will be compensation.
47:00Compensating?
47:01How?
47:03It's already this late and he's still not here.
47:05Have we missed each other?
47:06Is he already inside?
47:16He's already here.
47:19Darling, I...
