00:00:04Six years in jail for my boyfriend.
00:00:08Today, I'm out.
00:00:09Are you looking for someone?
00:00:10Uh, yeah, Bob Slate.
00:00:12He's the manager.
00:00:13Bob Slate, don't talk to nobody.
00:00:14So on the street, move along.
00:00:16Well, I need to talk.
00:00:20Bob?
00:00:22Crystal?
00:00:25You're out.
00:00:25Yeah, that was today.
00:00:27I waited for you for six hours for you to pick me up.
00:00:30Whoa, hey!
00:00:33Get your dirty little hands off, my man!
00:00:35Your man?
00:00:37Crystal, this is Lisa.
00:00:41My fiancé.
00:00:44Your fiancé?
00:00:48I waited for you for six years in prison.
00:00:52Everything I did for you, does that mean nothing now?
00:00:57Oh.
00:00:58You're Bob's ex-girlfriend.
00:01:03Bob only proposed to you to give you hope.
00:01:09I hope you understand.
00:01:20How could you?
00:01:23Lisa is my rock.
00:01:25She's the one who's kept me afloat these last few years after my investments dried up.
00:01:29What?
00:01:30I gave you all of my savings.
00:01:34I left you $200,000.
00:01:37What happened?
00:01:38Well, not that you don't understand, but I was advised to put it to various stock options,
00:01:41high-risk derivatives.
00:01:42It's all a bit technical, really.
00:01:44It's all water under the bridge.
00:01:46Bob runs a very successful business now.
00:01:50Crystal, this is Andrew Dubois' hotel.
00:01:52It means it's too good for people like you.
00:01:54Dubois?
00:01:55Oh, you mean that hotel billionaire?
00:01:58And governor.
00:02:00He's running for a second term.
00:02:04I'm Lisa Dubois.
00:02:06The governor's daughter.
00:02:12I'm Lisa Dubois.
00:02:14The governor's daughter.
00:02:16Don't forget to vote for daddy.
00:02:18Oh, I forgot.
00:02:20Felons can't vote.
00:02:24You know what?
00:02:26I feel sorry for you, Lisa.
00:02:29He's only using you to get closer to your father.
00:02:33Don't be a sore loser, Crystal.
00:02:36Good luck.
00:02:43After you went to jail for him?
00:02:45He won't get away with this.
00:02:47I'll make sure of it.
00:02:48Who is he marrying anyway?
00:02:49Governor Dubois' daughter.
00:03:17Governor Dubois sure is easy on the eyes.
00:03:20It's hard to believe he has a daughter in her 20s.
00:03:45It's hard to believe he has a daughter in her 20s.
00:03:56You okay?
00:04:00I need that fixed, you know?
00:04:02No, that's not necessary, Governor.
00:04:05I...
00:04:05I was...
00:04:07Just going to throw it away.
00:04:09Turns out it didn't mean anything.
00:04:11Pity.
00:04:12You should have a ring as beautiful as you are.
00:04:23Thanks again.
00:04:42And, uh, pull number's in?
00:04:44You're leading by six points.
00:04:47However, your status as a bachelor is limiting votes.
00:04:50People want a leader with a wife by their side.
00:04:52A wife?
00:04:54I'm a widower, Harry.
00:04:55You can't be a widower forever, Andrew.
00:05:01You really need a first lady by your side.
00:05:03Perhaps that's why Coleman Pirelli wants to have a private dinner with you.
00:05:07He has a daughter, you know.
00:05:08No.
00:05:10I don't want to be involved with a mafia don.
00:05:13I'm going to clear my schedule for Tuesday.
00:05:15I've got to meet with Lisa's wedding planner.
00:05:18This is Crystal Blanchard.
00:05:20I am thrilled to bring her on board as a new wedding planner.
00:05:27Everyone, I have a huge announcement.
00:05:30This is Crystal Blanchard.
00:05:31And I am thrilled to bring her on board as a new wedding planner.
00:05:34I heard she went to jail.
00:05:35No one in the city would hire her.
00:05:37Really?
00:05:38But didn't she go to Sanford?
00:05:41She and Dee's your old friends.
00:05:42That's the only reason she got hired.
00:05:44None of that matters anymore.
00:05:46If she can't land a client within a week, she's gone.
00:05:52Let's see.
00:05:53I mean, I have a red.
00:05:58No.
00:06:00I don't know, somewhere in here.
00:06:24Hey, new girl.
00:06:29Want to prove yourself?
00:06:31I have a lot of work to do.
00:06:44What are you going to do?
00:06:46Hit me and go back to jail?
00:06:48I know you just got out.
00:06:51I'll call the police.
00:06:53What do you want from me?
00:06:54I don't care that you went to Sanford with Miss Daisy.
00:06:58Here and ever after,
00:07:00nepotism just won't work.
00:07:02I studied fashion and jewelry design.
00:07:05I am just as qualified as you are.
00:07:08Here you are.
00:07:10Can't even land a single client.
00:07:13But,
00:07:15kiss my feet
00:07:16and I'll give you one of my clients.
00:07:20Trust me.
00:07:22You're going to need...
00:07:24Enough!
00:07:27Enough!
00:07:31Enough!
00:07:33Oh, my destiny
00:07:34Timeless like the sea
00:07:38Through the storm, through the rain
00:07:43You're my joy, my...
00:07:46Enough!
00:07:46Oh!
00:07:49Governor Dubois
00:07:51What a pleasure.
00:07:53How can I assist you again?
00:07:57I'd actually like to speak with this young lady here, if you'll excuse me.
00:08:03We meet again.
00:08:07I didn't know you worked here.
00:08:09I just started.
00:08:12What can we help you with?
00:08:13Well, I'm here to talk to my wedding planner.
00:08:17Yes, um...
00:08:18I've been expecting you actually, if you'll just follow me this way to my office.
00:08:21I'd like you to do it.
00:08:25I'm honored.
00:08:26I just don't know if my budget will work for you.
00:08:29Oh, don't worry. We can make miracles out of any budget.
00:08:32How's two million dollars?
00:08:33Two million dollars.
00:08:43Huh...
00:08:45Something wrong?
00:08:47No.
00:08:49No.
00:08:51Governor, you do know the average wedding is only 30,000.
00:08:55What's your name?
00:08:58Crystal Blanchard.
00:08:59Miss Blanchard.
00:09:01I'm the type of man...
00:09:03...that likes to speak with the children.
00:09:05spend ridiculous amounts of money because I like everything to be the best and I always get what I
00:09:12want. Understood. We can definitely make that happen for you. Your fiance is one lucky lady.
00:09:23It's for my daughter, Lisa. She's getting married.
00:09:29I've spoiled her and she finds wedding planning to be tedious.
00:09:35Your, your daughter, Lisa.
00:09:41Okay. Okay. Um, actually, I have the contract right over here. Um,
00:09:50what's this?
00:09:52Um, yeah, uh,
00:10:05I just want to, uh, sign here. It's right there.
00:10:17You know, I might need to call you
00:10:21to talk about the wedding.
00:10:22Oh, yeah. Call me at the governor's mansion.
00:10:38Congratulations to Crystal for landing the biggest deal in ever after history.
00:10:47It's all dumb luck.
00:10:50You'll see.
00:10:53Oh, I wish I could still wear dresses like that.
00:10:57Being pregnant sucks.
00:10:58Well, for what it's worth, I think you look beautiful.
00:11:02You're just too nice.
00:11:03Anyway, I want to talk about you.
00:11:04What is happening with this dress?
00:11:08Do you have a date?
00:11:10Andrew Dubois invited me to his place at nine to go over the color scheme for the wedding.
00:11:17Nine as in P.M.
00:11:19To his house.
00:11:21Girl.
00:11:22He's busy during the day.
00:11:24Busy during the day.
00:11:25Listen to me.
00:11:26You cannot mess around with an old dude like Andrew.
00:11:30His exes could form a beautiful human chain from here to New York City.
00:11:34No woman lasts longer than a month.
00:11:36I've been to prison.
00:11:38Okay, I think I can handle this.
00:11:41And he's not that old.
00:11:43He's 42, babe.
00:11:45You're only 28.
00:11:47He doesn't look 42.
00:11:50Oh, my gosh.
00:11:51Bob.
00:11:52Doesn't Bob live at the house now?
00:11:54Aren't you afraid you're going to run into him?
00:11:58No one cares about Bob.
00:12:01I'm just there doing my job.
00:12:05You're falling for Andrew, aren't you?
00:12:08No!
00:12:09Uh-huh.
00:12:10In that dress, you are one dirty martini away from...
00:12:15Becoming your ex's mother-in-law.
00:12:30Mr. Dubois will be here shortly.
00:12:32He's finishing up a phone call.
00:12:41I got prison and Bob got a mansion.
00:12:45Sorry to keep you waiting.
00:12:46The campaign never rests.
00:12:49You are.
00:12:50Sit down.
00:12:52Thank you, Governor.
00:12:55This is my daughter Lisa and her fiancé Bob.
00:12:59They make a beautiful couple.
00:13:03So I looked at the notes for the events at the reception.
00:13:07And do we, um...
00:13:09Do we have to have a father-daughter dance?
00:13:11Oh.
00:13:13It's tradition.
00:13:14Everyone will love it.
00:13:15Especially Lisa.
00:13:17Well, the thing is, um...
00:13:20I can't dance.
00:13:24I don't believe you.
00:13:26Everyone can dance.
00:13:27It's simple, really.
00:13:29All right.
00:13:30Teach me.
00:13:53So...
00:13:54Like that.
00:13:56And then the sand.
00:13:57There.
00:13:59And then you just...
00:14:01Dance.
00:14:06You know it's awfully forward of you to be teaching a single man to dance this late at night.
00:14:12Very forward of you to invite a single woman to your house so late.
00:14:18Happy to know you're single.
00:14:23What cologne are you wearing?
00:14:26You smell so good.
00:14:28Are you trying to seduce me?
00:14:30No.
00:14:34Unless you want me to.
00:14:39Because if you are,
00:14:41you better be prepared to stay the night.
00:14:48Mr. DeGlois, I have those files you were looking...
00:14:51Mr. DeGlois, I have those files you were looking...
00:15:14Well, uh, I can see you are very busy, so I will just leave the binder with you.
00:15:21I'll call you.
00:15:28What do you think you're doing?
00:15:30I don't have to explain myself to you.
00:15:33You don't belong here.
00:15:34Stay away from the governor.
00:15:36You know, I might just become your mother-in-law, after all.
00:15:43You're a sick bitch, Crystal.
00:15:45I went to prison for you.
00:15:47You drove drunk.
00:15:49You killed that kid.
00:15:50It's funny.
00:15:51That's not what the judge said.
00:15:53Now the governor's daughter, huh?
00:15:57I should have let you run in jail.
00:16:02Do not fuck with me.
00:16:05Or I will send you back to prison.
00:16:08And I will gladly watch you wither away into an old, disgusting hag.
00:16:13Stay away from the governor.
00:16:15What's going on here?
00:16:18Miss Blanchard's just nervous about her first big project.
00:16:23She had a couple of questions about wedding details, but...
00:16:27But don't worry, Crystal.
00:16:29I know you'll make my wedding unforgettable.
00:16:33Oh.
00:16:35I'll make sure of it.
00:16:44Thanks.
00:16:47Shit.
00:16:48You left my phone at the governor's mansion.
00:16:50I can't believe you got Governor Dubois as your first client.
00:16:54I'm really proud of you.
00:16:56Thanks, Noah.
00:16:58I'm proud of you, too.
00:16:59Youngest ever partner at Thomas and Dougherty.
00:17:03How does it feel to be finally out of jail?
00:17:05I feel free.
00:17:07You look better.
00:17:08Seriously.
00:17:09Is there any way to clear my name?
00:17:15Well, you admitted in court six years ago that you were the driver.
00:17:18So we need concrete proof that it was Bob who drove drunk and you willingly took the blame for him.
00:17:24I had asked the prosecutor and they said there was an eyewitness who claimed they saw a woman driving, not
00:17:30a man.
00:17:32Well, then that witness must have been drunk then, too.
00:17:35Bob probably bribed them.
00:17:37With the $200,000 I gave him.
00:17:39Why did you go to jail for that jerk?
00:17:42Because I loved him.
00:17:45None of that matters now.
00:17:47Well, there's one way to vindicate you.
00:17:50I have a friend in the prosecutor's office.
00:17:52I'm going to try and find the name of that eyewitness.
00:17:54Really?
00:17:55Of course.
00:17:58Thanks, Noah.
00:18:07Take that off.
00:18:08I'll go throw it in the laundry.
00:18:11Gosh.
00:18:16Governor?
00:18:24Governor?
00:18:26Is this Crystal Blanchard's place?
00:18:28Yes.
00:18:31Here.
00:18:32Noah, you can wear...
00:18:43You, um...
00:18:44You left this in the driveway.
00:18:47The screen was cracked, so I took the liberty of repairing it.
00:18:49I'm sorry to, uh, interrupt your date.
00:18:53Oh.
00:18:55Noah's just a friend.
00:18:56We were having coffee.
00:18:57A friend, shirtless.
00:19:00At your house this late at night?
00:19:01Well, he's a lawyer, so he works really weird hours, and I spilled coffee all down his back.
00:19:12I'm telling the truth, Governor.
00:19:14Why are you trying to explain yourself, Crystal?
00:19:17Crystal, we are just two professionals.
00:19:20Don't call me Governor, it's Andrea.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:25Crystal, what do you want from me?
00:19:30What do you want from me?
00:19:34I want the same thing you do, and I don't think it's very professional at all.
00:19:45Well, how unprofessional are you thinking?
00:19:51I don't know yet.
00:19:55Well, my personal number's in your phone.
00:19:59Call me, we'll have dinner tomorrow night, and discuss.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:06Okay.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:13Okay.
00:20:21Okay.
00:20:48Oh God, that's way too much
00:20:53What are you going to think?
00:20:59Sorry, continue
00:21:11Everyone is staring at us
00:21:12You're on a date with the governor
00:21:15Of course they are
00:21:17Is that all right?
00:21:19Why wouldn't it be?
00:21:20I just mean for your campaign
00:21:22It's not like you're a criminal or in the mafia
00:21:31Good evening, Mr. Dubois
00:21:33And who might your lovely guest be tonight?
00:21:36This is Miss Blanchard
00:21:38Ah, then this must be a very special lady
00:21:40Don't worry
00:21:42Mr. Dubois has only brought one woman here
00:21:44And that would be his beautiful Lisa
00:21:48So what can I get you started with?
00:21:50Well, I guess we will start with the soup
00:21:53Perfect
00:21:57Andrew, I have to tell you something
00:21:59What?
00:22:05What are you looking at?
00:22:22What the hell are you two doing here?
00:22:26None of your business
00:22:34Yes
00:22:35Crystal
00:22:36Seems like everywhere I go, there you are
00:22:38You sure you can afford this place?
00:22:40It's two thousand bucks a person here
00:22:42If you wanted some good food that badly
00:22:45You should just call
00:22:46Please
00:22:47Don't flatter yourself
00:22:48Like I'd ever go out with you again
00:22:51No
00:22:52Actually, I'm here with Andrew
00:23:01You think this is a fucking game?
00:23:04I'm gonna fuck Andrew just to make my life harder?
00:23:06Yeah, what if I was?
00:23:07I'm gonna make you regret this
00:23:10Watch out
00:23:12Pretty soon I'm gonna be your mother-in-law
00:23:14I'm gonna make sure you never see a dime of Andrew's money
00:23:21What a surprise
00:23:22I didn't know you were on a date
00:23:23Where's Lisa?
00:23:30Lisa's not feeling well
00:23:32But the chef had a couple of specialty plates on for tonight
00:23:35So I thought I'd try them for the both of us
00:23:39With two glasses of wine?
00:23:41Oh
00:23:43For pairings
00:23:44Fair enough
00:23:45Should we, um, get back to our table?
00:23:49Sure
00:24:01Well, thank you for walking me home
00:24:06There's no half-naked men hiding in here, is there?
00:24:10No half-naked men for me
00:24:14Unless
00:24:29Yes
00:24:29Good night, Crystal
00:24:31Good night
00:24:32Together
00:24:34You will always be.
00:25:08Crystal, it's an emergency. You need to get here right away.
00:25:19Oh.
00:25:28At least the stress cost over $500,000 and now it's ruined.
00:25:32It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
00:25:34Ma'am, do you know who closed the store down that night?
00:25:37I did.
00:25:43Oh, my dress! Oh, my God, how could you do this? How could you let this happen?
00:25:50Mr. Bois, who called you?
00:25:52I did.
00:25:55Well, I thought, considering it was her dress after all.
00:25:59Oh, my God, you did this to my dress!
00:26:10Hey, hey, stop it! What the hell happened? Stop!
00:26:17Stop it! What the hell happened?
00:26:20Daddy!
00:26:20What happened?
00:26:23Oh, my God!
00:26:24You ruined my dress!
00:26:28I'm so, so sorry, Governor. Somebody broke into the store last night and ruined Lisa's dress.
00:26:36I'll find a way to compensate for it. I'm just so, so sorry.
00:26:41$500,000 is probably more than you'll ever make in this entire lifetime, Crystal.
00:26:48It's all right. I don't care about the money. As long as you're not hurt.
00:26:53No. I'm okay, Governor.
00:26:56Good.
00:26:56But what about my wedding dress?
00:26:58Sweetheart, I will get you another.
00:27:02I'll change the budget. I'll double it.
00:27:06Are you serious?
00:27:08Just give my daughter the perfect wedding is all I ask.
00:27:13Of course.
00:27:14The wedding is five months away. There's no time.
00:27:18I'm Governor Dubois.
00:27:21I don't think that Crystal is competent enough to continue.
00:27:27I want the perfect wedding!
00:27:29Sweetheart.
00:27:30No, make her give me the perfect wedding, Daddy!
00:27:33You will have the perfect wedding, I promise.
00:27:36Now, I have a call with the DA.
00:27:38Miss Blanchard, you can take it from here?
00:27:41I want this dress!
00:27:43If she can't fix this dress, I want you to fire her immediately!
00:27:48I can call Nicholas Woodson.
00:27:52He's the best tailor in the city.
00:27:54And if anyone can work a miracle on this dress, it's him.
00:27:59All right, then.
00:28:06Do you even know Nicholas Woodson?
00:28:08I'm gonna try.
00:28:19Mr. Woodson, this is Crystal Blanchard with Ever After Design.
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:24Um, one of our very, very important wedding dresses was vandalized this morning, and we think you're the only one
00:28:31that can fix it.
00:28:33I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm too fucked.
00:28:36Good luck.
00:28:39Good luck, Crystal.
00:28:57Nicholas, Andrew Dubois here.
00:29:00Yeah, it's Lisa's dress.
00:29:01You just got a call from my wedding planner.
00:29:03No, I'm not firing her.
00:29:07No, I'm not dating her.
00:29:10Yet.
00:29:13Thank you, Nicholas.
00:29:15I appreciate your help.
00:29:28Hello?
00:29:29Miss Blanchard, this is Nicholas Woodson.
00:29:32Get the dress to my studio by five.
00:29:34I won't wait.
00:29:59What the hell is wrong?
00:30:01Papa.
00:30:12You mind, knight in shining armor?
00:30:14Well, I finished my meetings for the day, and I thought I'd help the poor damsel in distress on the
00:30:19side of the road.
00:30:22Are you good with cars?
00:30:23Good.
00:30:24Oh, I'm great.
00:30:27My dad's repair shop for years.
00:30:30Allow me.
00:30:34Let's see.
00:30:54Something wrong?
00:30:56Uh, no.
00:30:58I, um, I just...
00:31:14I, um, I shouldn't have done...
00:31:21I don't think you can just do something like that and get away.
00:31:40I've seen it to Nicholas by five.
00:31:42He's still a half an hour away.
00:31:43I guess we'll have to be quick.
00:31:45But how do you know what Nicholas I'm talking about?
00:31:47It doesn't matter.
00:31:56I have to take this.
00:31:57Come on.
00:31:59Noah, hey.
00:32:00Crystal, thank God.
00:32:02We got her.
00:32:03Uh, who?
00:32:04The witness.
00:32:06But, I called her, but she hung up immediately.
00:32:11That's good.
00:32:12Good.
00:32:13How is that?
00:32:14Good.
00:32:14Uh, we need to find another way.
00:32:16Uh, uh, I'm gonna have to call you back.
00:32:25Thanks for fixing my car.
00:32:29I really should go.
00:32:30Your boyfriend looking for you?
00:32:31Are you jealous?
00:32:33No, I don't need to be.
00:32:39She answered the phone asking for Bob.
00:32:42When I didn't reply, she hung up.
00:32:45So it was Bob who bribed her.
00:32:49My brother's a hacker.
00:32:51He could probably trace down the owner of the phone number.
00:32:55And is that really such a good idea?
00:32:57You're a lawyer.
00:32:59It's justice.
00:33:00I'd do it for you.
00:33:06Mr. Woodson has rush-ordered the dress, and he says that it will be better than ever in two weeks.
00:33:16And, Woodson was so impressed with you.
00:33:19He called this morning to say he wants an exclusive partnership with Ever After.
00:33:25Are you kidding?
00:33:26That's amazing.
00:33:27It is amazing.
00:33:28It's all you, Crystal.
00:33:30And, I've decided to promote Crystal to manager.
00:33:35Terry will act as Crystal's assistant.
00:33:37Good work.
00:33:38Congratulations.
00:33:51Stay away from my dad.
00:33:56Stay away from my dad!
00:34:01What?
00:34:03You can't have my fiancé, and so you decided to seduce my father?
00:34:06Bob was right.
00:34:07You ruined my wedding dress on purpose, you jealous bitch!
00:34:11Lisa, I didn't ruin your dress on purpose, and your father and I have a very professional relationship.
00:34:18If she doesn't stay away, I am going to go to the media, and I am going to tell them
00:34:24that your employees like to seduce clients for property.
00:34:28That's what you get for hiring a dirty, old jailbird.
00:34:40Crystal, the governor is here for your meeting.
00:34:45The governor is here for your meeting.
00:35:01Hi.
00:35:02Hey.
00:35:03I've been thinking about you all week.
00:35:05Uh, Elise's dress is taken care of.
00:35:10Mr. Woodson's gonna make it look brand new.
00:35:13Good.
00:35:14Dinner tonight?
00:35:16We can, uh, pick up on where we left off yesterday.
00:35:20Uh, I think we should just stick to wedding planning.
00:35:25Crystal, what happened?
00:35:26Nothing.
00:35:27Um, I picked out a couple florists, if you want to tell me if you have a preference.
00:35:33Did someone hurt you?
00:35:35If she doesn't stay away, I am going to go to the media.
00:35:39Why would anyone do that?
00:35:41Um, do you want to take a look?
00:35:49Crystal, whoever hurt you, I will make them pay.
00:35:55No.
00:35:57You can't.
00:36:07Daisy.
00:36:09Governor Dupal, did everything go well in your meeting with Crystal?
00:36:12Can I ask you something private?
00:36:14Yes.
00:36:17Who hate Crystal?
00:36:21I really can't say.
00:36:22Daisy, I need to know.
00:36:24So either you tell me or I will find out on my own.
00:36:31That bitch really thinks she can steal daddy?
00:36:34He doesn't even know he's fooling around with a felon.
00:36:37We should tell him.
00:36:39We should.
00:36:41Well, fortunately for us, I just got our criminal records.
00:36:46Now he'll have to break up with her.
00:36:53Lisa, what have you done?
00:36:55What do you mean?
00:36:56You know what I mean.
00:36:58Hitting someone?
00:36:59I raised you better than them.
00:37:01Oh, that?
00:37:02Yeah, that.
00:37:03That behavior is unacceptable.
00:37:07No allowance for you this month.
00:37:10Daddy, she's been to prison.
00:37:12Prison?
00:37:13She has, for six years.
00:37:16She's a menace to society.
00:37:23See, Daddy, I'm not lying.
00:37:25She was in an accident.
00:37:27And she killed a woman.
00:37:29Bob, you have seen Crystal and I together multiple times and you didn't tell me about this.
00:37:36What else aren't you telling me?
00:37:38Mr. Dubois, it's not like that.
00:37:40I didn't know how to explain my situation with her.
00:37:44I didn't know how to explain my situation with her.
00:37:45Daddy, Crystal is Bob's ex-girlfriend.
00:37:50He didn't want to speak ill of her, especially when she's so troubled.
00:37:55Troubled.
00:37:57Your ex?
00:37:58We dated briefly.
00:38:00Before she went to prison.
00:38:02She was always sneaking around with other men.
00:38:06See?
00:38:07She's clearly a slut.
00:38:09And just looking for revenge.
00:38:11That's why she's dating you.
00:38:13No.
00:38:14You two stay out of this.
00:38:17And this stays in the family.
00:38:29Time for plan B.
00:38:33Hi!
00:38:34This is Lisa Dubois.
00:38:36I'm calling because I have some information on my father's new girlfriend that I think you might find interesting.
00:38:45Sir, sir, can you comment on the governor's new girlfriend?
00:38:48She goes by the name of Crystal Blanchard.
00:38:52Girlfriend.
00:38:53Look, we all know him.
00:38:55He dates.
00:38:56But the governor is not looking for a serious relationship with Miss Blanchard.
00:39:00Is that an official statement?
00:39:01Are you authorized to speak for him on this matter or?
00:39:04I always speak for the governor.
00:39:05Now, let's get back to business.
00:39:08Are there any more questions relating to the Infrastructure Jobs Act?
00:39:13Oh, Crystal.
00:39:15I'm so sorry the governor won't admit his relationship with you.
00:39:20Hey.
00:39:21I'm so sorry.
00:39:23It's okay.
00:39:24He's a public figure I knew what I was getting into.
00:39:28I'm just a girl who plans weddings.
00:39:31And besides, it was never real love.
00:39:35I don't know if he was just a part of the plan.
00:39:38What plan?
00:39:48Is it true what Lisa said?
00:39:50You're only getting close to me to get back at Bob, your ex-boyfriend?
00:39:54Is it true?
00:39:56Yes and no.
00:39:59You care to elaborate?
00:40:03Okay, I'm attracted to you, but your daughter is the fiancé of my ex-boyfriend, who hurt me deeply.
00:40:13How do you expect me to feel?
00:40:15Well, so you never actually considered a serious relationship with me.
00:40:19It's not true.
00:40:24Look.
00:40:26You should go.
00:40:28I have a client meeting in ten minutes.
00:40:31We should stop seeing each other.
00:40:35I can't be seen with a felon.
00:40:51Your poll numbers are plummeting.
00:40:53I didn't know about the jail time.
00:40:55What journalist wrote this?
00:40:58Mary Byer.
00:40:59Why does that sound familiar?
00:41:01She went to college with Lisa.
00:41:04I'll find a way to get the article retracted ASAP and all links to Crystal's imprisonment by noon tomorrow.
00:41:11We can't fight the press.
00:41:12All right, we're going to have to find a way to embrace this in our campaign.
00:41:18Andrew, we need to cut her out.
00:41:21I already told the press that you're not in a serious relationship with her, so we're safe.
00:41:24But with the re-election in four months...
00:41:27You said not in a serious relationship?
00:41:30Yeah, we had to issue a statement that you were completely unaware of her criminal background and that you were
00:41:37deceived by...
00:41:38Well, you did this without consulting me.
00:41:42Yeah, you should thank me for that.
00:41:44I stopped this from getting worse.
00:41:46You can go now.
00:41:50You're going to ruin your entire political career with this woman.
00:41:54Get out!
00:42:22You're going to ruin your entire career with this woman.
00:42:28Richard, I'm afraid that you have to move out of here.
00:42:33Excuse me?
00:42:34I don't rent people with criminal records.
00:42:36It was in the leasing agreement.
00:42:38You have until tomorrow morning to clear all of your stuff out of here.
00:42:41I'll take the boxes out of your security deposit.
00:42:56You can crash at my place as long as you need.
00:42:58Thanks, Noah.
00:43:05Andrew, what are you...
00:43:06Stay away from her.
00:43:08What the fuck is your problem?
00:43:09Hey, guys.
00:43:11Noah, can you just give us a minute, please?
00:43:20Why did you lie to me?
00:43:22Lie to you?
00:43:23You think I'd go around telling everybody in the city that I've been to jail?
00:43:28Andrew, I wanted to tell you on our first date.
00:43:31If you want to fire me from Lisa's wedding, I completely understand.
00:43:35No, that's not what I meant.
00:43:37I just want you to know that no matter what, we will be okay.
00:43:43I don't care about whatever happened in your past.
00:43:46It's no big deal.
00:43:47Seriously, Andrew?
00:43:48You're a public figure.
00:43:50I think it's a pretty big deal to you.
00:43:52Besides, I have more pressing matters,
00:43:54like being kicked out of my apartment with nowhere to go.
00:43:57Come sit at my place.
00:43:58No, look.
00:44:00We can't be seen together.
00:44:03Why don't you just focus on your re-election, governor?
00:44:32Why don't you just focus on your re-election?
00:44:42So, you're not seeing anyone else?
00:44:44No.
00:44:47Why?
00:44:52Because, uh...
00:44:54I've been in love with you since college,
00:44:56and I never knew how to tell you.
00:44:59But now's as good a time as any, right?
00:45:03I guess what I'm saying is,
00:45:05would you like to be my girlfriend?
00:45:13Would you like to be my girlfriend?
00:45:17Oh, no, I...
00:45:20You don't have to answer right now.
00:45:22I...
00:45:22I...
00:45:23I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship right now.
00:45:29I mean, not with everything going on.
00:45:32I just want to be your friend.
00:45:35Is that okay?
00:45:37I understand.
00:45:40Thanks.
00:45:41I just...
00:45:42I appreciate our friendship so much,
00:45:44and I don't want to lose that.
00:45:45I don't want to lose that.
00:46:02I don't want to lose that.
00:46:16No, I don't think that's a very good idea,
00:46:19since he confessed his love for me.
00:46:21That actually makes sense.
00:46:23So why not Noah?
00:46:26He's a great guy,
00:46:27and, you know, for anybody else,
00:46:29he'd be marriage material, but...
00:46:31But he's not Andrew.
00:46:34Let me tell you,
00:46:35I see the way that man looks at you.
00:46:38You are not the only one feeling something.
00:46:42With Lisa and Bob, it's possible.
00:46:45You know what?
00:46:47Love is love.
00:46:49Please don't be afraid of it.
00:46:52Please.
00:46:53Guys,
00:46:54God's Prayer Du Bois is live on air right now.
00:46:56You should check it out.
00:47:00It'll be faster and wider than ever before.
00:47:03Well, Governor,
00:47:04your business acumen is out of question.
00:47:06However, some are now questioning
00:47:07your political integrity.
00:47:09In particular,
00:47:10you've made numerous headlines
00:47:12in relation to...
00:47:14Crystal Blanchard,
00:47:16a woman who's been exposed as an ex-convict.
00:47:19Well, I appreciate
00:47:21the media's interest in my personal life.
00:47:24Frankly,
00:47:26well,
00:47:26it's none of their business.
00:47:28Forgive me, Governor,
00:47:29but I think it is the public's business.
00:47:32I mean,
00:47:32you are a public figure.
00:47:34And running for re-election
00:47:35with a felon by your side,
00:47:36I mean,
00:47:38that is a bold move,
00:47:39even for you.
00:47:41Are you in a romantic relationship
00:47:43with Miss Blanchard?
00:47:50Governor,
00:47:51are you in a relationship
00:47:53with Miss Blanchard?
00:48:00Yes, I am.
00:48:03Can you call my honor?
00:48:05I'm in prison.
00:48:07And whatever Miss Blanchard's
00:48:08past may be,
00:48:10she is a kind and honest person,
00:48:12and that's what matters.
00:48:13Now she is a talented wedding planner
00:48:16and she's designing my daughter's wedding.
00:48:18Now,
00:48:18holding people to their worst moment?
00:48:20Huh.
00:48:21I find that to be bad for them.
00:48:23You know,
00:48:23we've got to stop this obsession
00:48:24with her criminal history.
00:48:26It is clearly
00:48:26a smear tactic
00:48:28and an evasion
00:48:29and an evasion
00:48:29of her privacy.
00:48:30Now,
00:48:31I am your governor,
00:48:33but I am also
00:48:34a free citizen,
00:48:35free
00:48:35to fall in love
00:48:37with whoever I choose.
00:48:39And that will not
00:48:41impact my ability
00:48:43to lead.
00:48:44Governor,
00:48:45are you saying
00:48:45that you're in love
00:48:46with her?
00:48:53I am in love
00:48:54with Crystal Blanchard.
00:48:55Yes.
00:48:56I don't care
00:48:57about her past.
00:48:59I care
00:49:00about her future.
00:49:02Just like
00:49:02I care
00:49:03about the future
00:49:03of this state
00:49:04and every citizen
00:49:06in it.
00:49:20Our Instagram
00:49:21just gained
00:49:22150,000 followers
00:49:23in three hours.
00:49:25I'm so sorry.
00:49:27I had no idea
00:49:28that Andrew's interview
00:49:28would cause this pandemonium.
00:49:30You are not allowed
00:49:31to apologize
00:49:32for bringing in
00:49:33new business.
00:49:35It's Andrew,
00:49:36not me.
00:49:37I'm so proud of you.
00:50:02Tell him
00:50:03that Coleman Pirelli
00:50:04requests a meeting
00:50:05and...
00:50:10Are you all right?
00:50:12Yeah, I'm all right.
00:50:14God,
00:50:14he came out of nowhere.
00:50:15Where did you come from?
00:50:16I just...
00:50:17I wanted to talk to you.
00:50:19Who was that?
00:50:20He said he...
00:50:21had a message for you
00:50:23from Coleman Pirelli.
00:50:25I...
00:50:26He wants to meet with you.
00:50:28Coleman Pirelli
00:50:28is one of the most
00:50:29vicious mafia bosses
00:50:30in this city.
00:50:32Well,
00:50:33sounds like he's not
00:50:33going to take no
00:50:34for an answer.
00:50:35Well, he's going to have to.
00:50:36I have no interest
00:50:36in doing business
00:50:37with Pirelli.
00:50:41It's late.
00:50:43I should go.
00:50:44Crystal, wait.
00:50:47I need to apologize
00:50:48to you.
00:50:49I should have never
00:50:49said what I said
00:50:50to you that night.
00:50:51No.
00:50:52I'm sorry.
00:50:53I should have been
00:50:54more honest with you
00:50:55about my past.
00:50:56I...
00:50:57I was just afraid
00:50:57you would reject me.
00:50:58I would never
00:50:59reject you.
00:51:01No.
00:51:03I saw your interview.
00:51:07Is that true?
00:51:08Are we still
00:51:09in a relationship?
00:51:10Crystal,
00:51:11I care about you
00:51:12very much.
00:51:17I have plenty of rooms
00:51:19at my house.
00:51:19Why don't you come
00:51:20stay with me
00:51:21until you get back
00:51:22on your feet?
00:51:22I don't think
00:51:23Lisa would be too
00:51:24happy about that.
00:51:25My house,
00:51:26my rules.
00:51:29My house,
00:51:30my rules.
00:51:57I'll send you back
00:51:58or I'll send you back
00:52:20to the bathroom
00:52:22or something.
00:52:23What is she doing here?
00:52:29I invited her.
00:52:30How dare you
00:52:31step foot in my house?
00:52:32It's not your house,
00:52:33Lisa.
00:52:33It's mine.
00:52:34Food to our guest.
00:52:35I don't care.
00:52:37I'm firing her
00:52:38from my wedding.
00:52:38I don't ever want
00:52:39to see your face again.
00:52:40It's your wedding.
00:52:42See Crystal?
00:52:43Use whatever
00:52:44planner you want
00:52:45as long as
00:52:46you're paying for it.
00:52:47What did you spend
00:52:48on that world-renowned
00:52:50harvest?
00:52:51She was only
00:52:52$45,000,
00:52:53Daddy.
00:52:54Right.
00:52:55On top of the
00:52:55three-day,
00:52:56three-night
00:52:57private cruise
00:52:58for your reception.
00:52:59Oh,
00:52:59and now that the dress
00:53:00is being stitched
00:53:01by Woodson,
00:53:02the best tailor
00:53:03in the world.
00:53:04Oh,
00:53:04and the flowers,
00:53:05all $800 of them,
00:53:06but maybe Bob
00:53:07can pay for all of that.
00:53:08You make a nice salary,
00:53:10don't you, Bob?
00:53:11Well,
00:53:12you know my salary
00:53:14is a bit of management.
00:53:17Call me Dad.
00:53:19She used to saying that now.
00:53:22Crystal might even be
00:53:23your mother-in-law,
00:53:25sir.
00:53:28Daddy.
00:53:29Lisa,
00:53:30you're not a child
00:53:31anymore.
00:53:31Stop acting like one.
00:53:37I'm sure we go.
00:53:39Go get her.
00:53:40I understand.
00:53:49I just can't seem
00:53:50to get you out of my life,
00:53:50can't I?
00:53:51Have you tried any harder?
00:53:55Okay.
00:53:56Enough fucking around.
00:53:57How much?
00:54:00How much is it going to cost me
00:54:01to get you out of my life?
00:54:03You couldn't afford
00:54:04to get rid of me.
00:54:07You know,
00:54:08with you and I living
00:54:09under the same roof now,
00:54:11I think it's time
00:54:12you start treating me
00:54:13with a little respect.
00:54:17Go be a good son-in-law now.
00:54:35Hey, Noah,
00:54:36what's up?
00:54:36Crystal,
00:54:37we traced the phone connection.
00:54:38I got the name
00:54:39of the witness
00:54:40from six years ago.
00:54:41Who is it?
00:54:42Her name is Terry.
00:54:44Terry Penrod.
00:54:50Help!
00:54:55What?
00:55:17So, that's why you hated me ever since I started working here.
00:55:21Because you're on Bob's payroll?
00:55:24I didn't know.
00:55:25That you were Daisy's new hire until you walked in.
00:55:28How did Bob get you to testify?
00:55:31He gave me $100,000.
00:55:34You do realize that's half the money my mom left me before she passed.
00:55:39Which he stole from me.
00:55:42I was innocent, Terry.
00:55:46Please.
00:55:47Please don't tell anyone.
00:55:48I can't lose this job.
00:55:51It was wrong of me to take that money.
00:55:53But Bob promised me vacations all year long.
00:55:57That we could finally be together.
00:55:58I mean, you were the only obstacle between our romance.
00:56:02And you fell for that crap?
00:56:06Bob is manipulative.
00:56:07I don't blame you for falling for his lies.
00:56:11I did too.
00:56:14Do you hate me now?
00:56:16No.
00:56:18I don't hate you.
00:56:20But I do need your help.
00:56:22Do you have any evidence that you made this deal with Bob?
00:56:31This is the phone that Bob uses to call me.
00:56:33I've got texts.
00:56:36Would you be willing to hand it over to police?
00:56:40My friend, he's a lawyer.
00:56:42He can protect you.
00:56:45And Bob will get what he deserves.
00:56:54And what are we celebrating?
00:56:56I got some very promising information today.
00:56:59It's going to change everything.
00:57:02Yeah?
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:06Yeah.
00:57:07Yeah.
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:12Yeah.
00:57:13You want to take this upstairs?
00:57:17Sure.
00:57:22Is something wrong?
00:57:25I just...
00:57:27I haven't done this in a while.
00:57:30And I don't want to let you down.
00:57:33You could never let me down.
00:57:37Sounds like a campaign promise, Governor.
00:57:41I love seeing your sass inside.
00:57:44I like all your sass.
00:57:46Yeah.
00:57:49I'm glad to have you, Crystal.
00:57:57You are so beautiful.
00:58:00What?
00:58:01And smart.
00:58:03And kind.
00:58:05And brave.
00:58:08And wonderful.
00:58:12Feel free to keep going.
00:58:33This is madness.
00:58:36I will not let that slut take my father.
00:58:39We've got to get rid of that whore.
00:58:40Lisa.
00:58:41It's going to take some time.
00:58:43Okay?
00:58:44This isn't going to be easy.
00:58:54So.
00:58:55When do you have to leave for your meeting, Governor?
00:58:58Oh, so?
00:59:01So why aren't you getting up yet?
00:59:03Now you know why.
00:59:10Crystal Blanchard, you are under arrest.
00:59:16Crystal Blanchard, you are under arrest.
00:59:19What?
00:59:20What's going on?
00:59:21Oh, is this a joke?
00:59:22How dare you break into my home?
00:59:24Governor, I'm sorry, but we have a warrant for her arrest.
00:59:27What is she being arrested for?
00:59:29Miss Blanchard is being arrested for the murder of Terry Penrod.
00:59:34Please stand up, ma'am.
00:59:35What?
00:59:36Murder?
00:59:37Victim was found dead two hours ago in an alleyway.
00:59:40Her fingerprints are all over the weapon.
00:59:43I didn't kill anyone.
00:59:46Crystal Blanchard, you're under arrest.
00:59:48You have a right to remain silent.
00:59:50Anything you say will and can be used against you in a court of law.
00:59:53Let's go.
00:59:53Andrew, I didn't kill anyone.
01:00:07Do you know what these are?
01:00:08Those are my sewing scissors, but I never take them out of my office.
01:00:13Except when you use them to stab Terry to death.
01:00:16Jesus.
01:00:18Do I look like a killer?
01:00:20First to hit and run, then manslaughter.
01:00:22Perhaps you graduated the first degree murder?
01:00:26Investigate Bob Slate.
01:00:27Please, I'm begging you.
01:00:29Just go to my office and find Terry's secret phone before he does.
01:00:33He has to be framing me for this.
01:00:41Please, you have to listen.
01:00:43Bring Bob in too, please.
01:00:45Please, I...
01:00:58She's not getting released on bail.
01:01:01They say she's too dangerous.
01:01:03A murder that brutal.
01:01:0518 stabs.
01:01:07Obviously, the victim's family is very upset.
01:01:09Public sentiment towards you is at an all-time low.
01:01:12Give me on the phone.
01:01:13I'll release a statement defending her.
01:01:16Andrew.
01:01:17What?
01:01:21You know, once a criminal, always a criminal.
01:01:25I always knew there was something wrong with that girl.
01:01:29Dubois certainly doesn't have my vote.
01:01:31How can we trust him to make controls for our state?
01:01:34Well, this is a disaster.
01:01:37Can you fix this?
01:01:38We have one option.
01:01:40What is it?
01:01:41I found something when I was looking into Bob.
01:01:44He did some work for the Pirelli family about six years ago
01:01:47while I'm owing them $200,000.
01:01:50Suddenly, he was able to pay them off.
01:01:52He did it with money wired from Crystal's account
01:01:55the day she went to jail.
01:02:00Get me a meeting with Coleman Pirelli.
01:02:08Mr. Pirelli here to see you?
01:02:19Well, well, well.
01:02:21You finally decided I'm worth your time.
01:02:23I'm impressed you decided to show up yourself
01:02:26instead of sending one of your thugs to do your dirty work.
01:02:30If you're talking about what happened with Crystal,
01:02:32she was never in any real danger.
01:02:35Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
01:02:45What's this?
01:02:49What's this?
01:02:51Everything you need to put your son-in-law away for life.
01:02:55And clear Crystal Blanchard's name.
01:02:58And what's the catch?
01:03:00You're going to be president someday, Dubois?
01:03:03I'd like a piece of that pie.
01:03:05Meaning?
01:03:06Marry my daughter, Aurora.
01:03:09Let's make this a real business.
01:03:13I'm talking about an empire.
01:03:16I can't.
01:03:17I'm in love with someone else.
01:03:19Crystal Blanchard.
01:03:21The criminal.
01:03:22You and I both know that if you marry her,
01:03:25your political career is over.
01:03:27I love her.
01:03:28Then save her.
01:03:29You're a ruler.
01:03:31Andrew.
01:03:32Rulers don't have the luxury of love.
01:03:36Now, you know you must marry Aurora.
01:03:40And if I refuse?
01:03:41If you refuse,
01:03:43well, then Crystal will spend the rest of her days behind bars.
01:03:55Hey, it's Blanchard.
01:03:57Wake up.
01:03:58Get a visit.
01:03:59Come on.
01:04:02Andrew?
01:04:03Andrew?
01:04:06Not quite, baby girl.
01:04:08Bob.
01:04:09What are you doing here?
01:04:11Oof.
01:04:12He came here to see you.
01:04:14Unlike your precious Andrew.
01:04:16You see,
01:04:17to him,
01:04:19you're just another vote.
01:04:21Nothing more.
01:04:23The truth will come out, Bob.
01:04:25You deserve to be in here,
01:04:26not me.
01:04:27No!
01:04:29No!
01:04:31No!
01:04:33No!
01:04:34No!
01:04:35No!
01:04:35No!
01:04:35No!
01:04:36No!
01:04:36No!
01:04:37No!
01:04:38No!
01:04:39Can you confirm your whereabouts at 11 p.m. on the night of the 21st?
01:04:44Uh, sure.
01:04:45Let's see.
01:04:47Lisa and I had a lovely dinner out,
01:04:49until coming home around...
01:04:51nine?
01:04:52Nine, yeah.
01:04:53And she had a headache,
01:04:54so she went to bed early.
01:04:55And I read for a bit in the living room
01:04:58until nodding off myself around 11.
01:05:02I hope that's helpful.
01:05:05Is this true, Miss DeBoer?
01:05:18I'm sorry, Miss DeBoer.
01:05:19Shh.
01:05:20It's okay, honey.
01:05:21Go back to sleep.
01:05:35Thank you for your time.
01:05:36Of course.
01:05:53You're working on the seating chart.
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:57Hey, can we talk?
01:06:03Honey, we need to talk about Bob.
01:06:06Why?
01:06:07Your fiancée's done some awful things.
01:06:10I'm worried about you marrying a man like that.
01:06:15What do you mean, awful things?
01:06:17Well, I've found evidence
01:06:18that he's committed several crimes, violent crimes.
01:06:24Show me.
01:06:25I can't.
01:06:27The police have all the evidence.
01:06:30Then you're lying.
01:06:32I don't believe you.
01:06:34He's the love of my life.
01:06:36He's a con man.
01:06:40No.
01:06:43No.
01:06:44You were wrong.
01:06:46This is Crystal putting poison in your ears.
01:06:48Lisa.
01:06:50Don't marry Bob.
01:06:51No.
01:07:07Okay.
01:07:08You've been released.
01:07:09What?
01:07:10There's been some new developments.
01:07:12You're free to go.
01:07:13Come on.
01:07:35Hello?
01:07:37This is Crystal. Who's this?
01:07:39Sorry, if you're looking for Andrew, he's in the shower.
01:07:45Oh, bitch.
01:07:53Andrew, I'm sorry. Your phone rang, and I answered it.
01:07:57Who called?
01:07:58Uh, someone named Crystal.
01:08:01Shit. What did you tell her?
01:08:03Uh, just that you were in the shower.
01:08:14Should try them. These look pretty good.
01:08:15Yeah, these are good, too, huh?
01:08:17Yeah, these are pretty good.
01:08:19Are you looking for Crystal Blanchard?
01:08:21Oh, Mr. Governor, um, I believe she was released about an hour ago.
01:08:24What are you talking about? She's supposed to be released at 1. It's only 12.30.
01:08:28We let her out before lunchtime. I mean, come on. I'll go Tuesday.
01:08:32Yeah.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:34Yeah.
01:08:38Yeah.
01:08:46uh how he turns out in your eyes.
01:08:53How long waits for the night.
01:08:57Shhhh.
01:08:58My moment stands in time
01:09:03You are my destiny
01:09:08You're the one I see
01:09:12In every dream I dream
01:09:15You are my destiny
01:09:28Andrew, I'm really sorry for screwing things up with you and Crystal
01:09:31No, it's not your fault
01:09:33I just haven't had a chance to tell her what's going on yet
01:09:35Andrew, you have enough evidence to put Bob away for good
01:09:39You shouldn't be stuck with me when you love another woman
01:09:42I can't do that, Talisa
01:09:43I mean, that would destroy her completely
01:09:48What do you think about all this?
01:09:52No one's ever asked me that before
01:09:54Really?
01:09:56Yeah, um, my father doesn't really care about my feelings
01:10:01Forcing me into this marriage was just the latest in a long list of schemes to keep me as his
01:10:07pawn
01:10:08I'm sorry
01:10:09It's okay
01:10:10I'm glad he married me off
01:10:12I couldn't stand to be with that family any longer
01:10:16Aurora, you deserve
01:10:18A life of your own
01:10:20I don't want you to feel bound to me, either
01:10:24I'll make that clear to the public, okay?
01:10:42Thank you for your continued support
01:10:44Now there have been some questions regarding my personal life
01:10:48And I want to make things very clear
01:10:52I am engaged to Aurora Pirelli
01:10:55But we are not in a relationship
01:10:58I continue for some time now
01:11:02To be in a romantic relationship with Crystal Blanchard
01:11:06The woman's a murderer
01:11:08Sinclair for governor
01:11:10Silence!
01:11:12I understand you are angry
01:11:15But you have been deceived by the media
01:11:20This is the police department's official report
01:11:23Proving Crystal's innocence
01:11:25Another suspect is currently under investigation
01:11:29You may no longer trust me to be your next governor
01:11:32But let me tell you this
01:11:35I have always put the people of this state first
01:11:40I don't fight for the rich and powerful
01:11:43I fight for the people standing in this room
01:11:46I fight for people like Crystal Blanchard
01:11:51Who was framed for murder
01:11:53And powerless to defend her own innocence
01:11:58Even at the cost of my own election
01:12:02Because I am completely in love with her
01:12:14If you love her so much
01:12:15Why don't you divorce the daughter of the Mafia Dawn
01:12:17She's Mafia like her father
01:12:19She'll corrupt our governor
01:12:20Yeah
01:12:23Go home with your crime family, you slut
01:12:25Andrew, we should leave
01:12:26Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:12:29Hey!
01:12:35I am Crystal Blanchard
01:12:37The governor's secret lover
01:12:41How can you treat her like this?
01:12:44You should all be ashamed of yourselves
01:12:47Everyone deserves to have their relationship respected
01:12:50And we all have the freedom to love whoever we want
01:12:54If we don't have that, then what do we have?
01:12:58We should treat each other with love
01:13:00And not hate
01:13:05Thank you
01:13:05Are you okay?
01:13:07Yes
01:13:08You are a hero
01:13:10I'm Aurora
01:13:11It's nice to meet you
01:13:13Thank you
01:13:16You're the famous crystal Andrew's been talking so much about
01:13:19He's been desperate to find you
01:13:20He's been in good company
01:13:22No, I'm not anything like that
01:13:24Trust me
01:13:26Our marriage was a deal to get you out of jail
01:13:30What?
01:13:32I'll, uh, let you two catch up
01:13:37So
01:13:38You really meant what you said
01:13:41Come here
01:13:50You boy, go walk
01:14:06You're here
01:14:06Oh my gosh
01:14:07You're here
01:14:08Welcome back
01:14:09Thanks
01:14:09I'm really happy to be back
01:14:13Lily is just the cutest in the world
01:14:15I know
01:14:16I know
01:14:17I'm just glad she is finally here
01:14:20Listen, I have to be honest with you about something
01:14:23I don't think I can offer you your old job back
01:14:27Oh
01:14:29That's fine
01:14:30Because I want you to be co-owner of the business
01:14:33You're the best worker I have ever had, Crystal
01:14:35And with Lily here now
01:14:37I really need help with taking over some of the responsibilities
01:14:40I want you to run the place, Crystal
01:14:42Daisy, how could I...
01:14:44On one condition
01:14:46Anything
01:14:47When it eventually comes time for your wedding
01:14:49I have to be in charge of all the planning
01:14:52I can't think of anyone better for the job
01:14:54I know
01:14:57Lily agrees
01:14:58Yep
01:15:03Ladies and gentlemen
01:15:06Your next governor
01:15:09Andrew DuBois
01:15:21You may give me heart complications sometimes
01:15:23But the people love you
01:15:25If you decide to run in the next election
01:15:26You call me
01:15:29Great
01:15:30Now my competitor is sleeping in the same bed as me
01:15:38And if anybody in this room has a reasonable concern
01:15:41As to if these two should not be married
01:15:45Speak now
01:15:47Or forever hold your peace
01:15:54Bob Slate, you're under arrest
01:15:56Wait, wait, what is this?
01:15:58You've been going to jail for a long time
01:15:59I don't know what he...
01:16:00You're going to hear from my lawyer
01:16:18Hey
01:16:20Why don't we get you out of here?
01:16:22Just let me wallow here in my own stupid decisions
01:16:26You know
01:16:29No one blames you for what Bob did
01:16:32I've had my suspicions for a few weeks now
01:16:34That something was going on with him
01:16:37You should have listened to my dad
01:16:40Bob is a manipulative man
01:16:44You just don't realize until you're in too deep
01:16:48I owe you an apology, Crystal
01:16:52I didn't realize that I was just a pawn to Bob
01:16:56I really thought you were a bad person
01:17:00I see that I was wrong
01:17:01No
01:17:02You're a great kid, Lisa
01:17:04You just fell for a terrible man
01:17:12At least now you won't end up as your ex's mother-in-law
01:17:17Silver lining
01:17:18Yeah
01:17:19You know
01:17:21That is a good point
01:17:29Daddy
01:17:30Daddy
01:17:31It's going to be okay
01:17:36I know
01:17:36I know
01:17:41Are you sitting like that close?
01:17:43Sorry, you're close
01:17:45Oh, no
01:17:46Yeah
01:17:46Yeah
01:17:48Do you want another drink?
01:17:57Listen, I have to thank you for everything you've done for me
01:18:01I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat for you
01:18:04You know what?
01:18:07I love Andrew
01:18:09No, I know
01:18:10I'm okay with that
01:18:11Because you are my best friend
01:18:17You deserve somebody who's going to love you back
01:18:22I'm starting to realize that
01:18:44Coleman
01:18:44What are you doing here?
01:18:47Collecting my debt
01:18:49I don't care what you do to me
01:18:51I'm never going to marry Aurora
01:18:52Not as long as I love Crystal
01:18:55And I don't want you to
01:18:58My daughter, she doesn't speak to me much anymore
01:19:03She's not interested in my lifestyle
01:19:07I had to see her for myself
01:19:10She's happy
01:19:12It's all father can want for his daughter
01:19:21Consider our debt paid
01:19:42Can I take this thing off?
01:19:51Do you like it?
01:19:53I like it
01:19:55Andrew, it's beautiful
01:19:57I love it
01:19:58I wanted to do something special to celebrate our anniversary
01:20:03What?
01:20:04It's not our anniversary
01:20:06One year of having put Bob away and getting to have a real fresh start
01:20:10Oh
01:20:11I didn't realize that was today
01:20:14That is a good thing to celebrate
01:20:16Crystal
01:20:17I want to tell you
01:20:18The past year and a half have been the best of my life
01:20:24You opened my heart
01:20:25After it had been closed for so long
01:20:29I couldn't love you more
01:20:32You changed my life, Crystal
01:20:34And that's why I would like us to spend the rest of ours together
01:20:37And I told you the day that I met you
01:20:41That you deserve a ring as beautiful as you are
01:20:46I think this will do
01:20:47Crystal Blanchard
01:20:50Will you marry me?
01:20:53Yes
01:20:54Yes
01:20:55A thousand times yes
01:20:57A thousand times yes
01:20:57A thousand times yes
01:20:57A thousand times yes

01:21:00A thousand times yes
01:21:01A thousand times yes
01:21:03A thousand times yes
01:21:03A thousand times yes
01:21:04A thousand times yes
