Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My regulars bringing some big client tonight.
00:00:19Big like Wall Street CEO or Soty royalty?
00:00:22Close enough.
00:00:27If one of you gets lucky tonight, you're gonna be counting more cash than you've seen all year.
00:00:34And here's Alice, our resident genius.
00:00:37A grad student moonlighting to pay tuition, huh?
00:00:40Bet she thinks all these billionaires and princess are beneath her.
00:00:48Watch your...
00:00:51Come on, kid. Daddy's got cash.
00:00:54Excuse me, sir. Watch your behavior.
00:00:56Alice, watch your words.
00:01:00Are you lecturing me? In a whorehouse.
00:01:29It's him.
00:01:33Cheers.
00:01:36You came here to talk business.
00:01:39This isn't how I do deals.
00:01:41I, uh, just got one to impress, Mr. Keen.
00:01:45Pick anyone you like. My treat.
00:02:00Let's reschedule a more proper setting.
00:02:22How'd you get in my room?
00:02:28College girl, huh?
00:02:29You're no different than the rest.
00:02:31You know the deal.
00:02:33You take a cut of whatever I make.
00:02:35Good.
00:02:55Oh, you should go.
00:02:57Oh.
00:02:58I'm not into forcing anything.
00:03:02Okay.
00:03:13Oh, you should go.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:21Your carrier is saved.
00:03:23You're dead.
00:03:26I'm sorry.
00:03:28Your carrier is in the house.
00:03:29Oh, I'm not.
00:03:31You're dead.
00:03:32I'm not.
00:03:33You're dead.
00:03:48I've liked you for eight years.
00:03:57I never thought we'd meet again like this.
00:04:27Oh, look at her.
00:04:29Hey, Zach, get off!
00:04:31Get out of here.
00:04:43Come on.
00:05:00Oh, you must have forgotten me long ago.
00:05:05It's time I dropped this stupid crush.
00:05:08You could have slept in, you know.
00:05:10I have work.
00:05:11My shift starts soon.
00:05:14So the nightclub's part-time?
00:05:16Yep.
00:05:17I only work there because I need the extra cash.
00:05:21Hmm.
00:05:25How much?
00:05:29$50,000.
00:05:39$50,000.
00:05:43Actually,
00:05:45$5,000 is fine.
00:05:51Save my number.
00:05:53I'll transfer it to you later.
00:05:57Wait.
00:06:00Look, I know.
00:06:02No strings, no drama.
00:06:05I'm going to have my assistant drive you.
00:06:15He said he'd send it yesterday, and he's got money.
00:06:19I hope he didn't set me up.
00:06:21Wow.
00:06:22You still have time for sidekicks, huh?
00:06:27Hey, your neck okay?
00:06:29Oh.
00:06:33Um, seafood allergy.
00:06:35Yeah, broke out in hives.
00:06:37Mm-hmm.
00:06:38More like somebody had a date.
00:06:41I told you that Mr. Wright was right around the corner.
00:06:44I'm a psychic.
00:06:45Come on.
00:06:50Shoot.
00:06:51I left my wallet.
00:07:11Have a seat.
00:07:12I'm just here for my wallet.
00:07:26What are you doing?
00:07:28You haven't paid me yet, and whatever this was, I mean, it's over.
00:07:31So, please.
00:07:38The $5,000?
00:07:45Wait.
00:07:50I have an offer.
00:07:52Quit the nightclub.
00:07:53Be with me.
00:07:54Only me.
00:07:55And then I'll take care of money and everything else.
00:07:59No.
00:07:59I don't want that.
00:08:01Look.
00:08:02I told you I wouldn't bother you, so please.
00:08:04Let me go, Mr. King.
00:08:06Okay?
00:08:10Then I never want to see your face over again.
00:08:14You won't.
00:08:16See you never.
00:08:27Alice, you're here.
00:08:29How's my brother doing, Doctor?
00:08:31Same.
00:08:32He's stable, but unresponsive.
00:08:35But the bills have been stacking up.
00:08:38By now, your family owes half a million dollars.
00:08:40You will need to be settled this week.
00:08:42Otherwise, we'll have to stop the treatment, unfortunately.
00:08:49Please.
00:08:50If you wake up, I'll do anything.
00:08:54Anything.
00:09:00Alice is in grad school.
00:09:02She works at a nightclub to cover her brother's medical bills.
00:09:05I think she knew you showed up at Pear Perfect that night.
00:09:10How much is she up?
00:09:11Half a million.
00:09:14This is the Intending Doctor Info.
00:09:24So, how's your brother doing?
00:09:27Still the same.
00:09:28No change.
00:09:29You know that if you ever need help, you just ask, okay?
00:09:35I'm good, though.
00:09:36Really.
00:09:37No.
00:09:52That's Jessica.
00:09:55The Queen Bee.
00:09:57Where it is, her parents are trying to set her up with Gavin Keen.
00:09:59You know, the Keen's richest family in town.
00:10:06Hey, I just got hired to play violin at some fancy party tonight.
00:10:10Six hundred bucks for a night.
00:10:11No way, that's awesome.
00:10:13I really need more of these side gangs light up.
00:10:15I mean, my brother's bills are just piling up.
00:10:17Yeah.
00:10:18I bet.
00:10:36Jesus.
00:10:38Jack, what the hell are you doing here?
00:10:39I paid good money to hear you play.
00:10:41You need the cash, I got the cash.
00:10:43It sounds like a win-win.
00:10:49If you touch me, I'll call the cops.
00:10:51Quit pretending that you're a good girl.
00:10:54You work at a nightclub.
00:10:55Everybody knows what that means, unless this is some sort of king.
00:10:59I'm not who you think I am.
00:11:01Whatever.
00:11:03I'm not going anywhere.
00:11:07What are you doing?
00:11:09Please, Jack.
00:11:12I told you to stay put.
00:11:40Mr. Keene, we're just trying to bring her back to our boss.
00:11:44Please, please don't let them take me.
00:11:46Please, I'll do anything.
00:11:54She's with me.
00:12:07I thought you said I was never going to see you again.
00:12:09I'm just here for a gig.
00:12:10Look, I didn't know that you were going to be here or Jack.
00:12:13If you were so desperate, why did you return the half a million dollars?
00:12:17Look, I don't take what's not mine.
00:12:20And I don't want to be with you like this.
00:12:22Like what?
00:12:23Like how we met.
00:12:26Kevin, you have a girlfriend.
00:12:28And you have half the city chasing after you.
00:12:30I mean, you don't need me.
00:12:31So you've been digging into my personal life.
00:12:39Kevin, if we're going to be together again, it has to be different.
00:12:43I want to talk to you standing up.
00:12:46Not lying down.
00:13:03Excuse me, sir.
00:13:05Jack's here.
00:13:06And says he has an urgent matter to discuss with you.
00:13:11Mr. Keene, this girl's been causing trouble.
00:13:15Don't worry.
00:13:16I'll make sure it never happens again.
00:13:18Give her a little bit of a rough-up.
00:13:20Teach her a lesson.
00:13:21It looks like she needs one.
00:13:24Look, I've been thinking.
00:13:25After everything that I do for your business,
00:13:27the fixes, everything,
00:13:29I was thinking that maybe it's time I get my own steak.
00:13:34Or we can keep the old deal.
00:13:35It's, you know, you take the mine share, I keep mine.
00:13:38Or this city runs on my name.
00:13:41Not yours.
00:13:42And I don't work with people who move behind my back.
00:13:45We're done.
00:13:55What the hell just happened?
00:13:58I'll take less of a cut if I can still work with you guys.
00:14:01What the hell did I do to piss him off?
00:14:03You touched someone you shouldn't have.
00:14:06You mean...
00:14:07That woman?
00:14:09Alice belongs to my boss.
00:14:12You touch her again,
00:14:14losing this deal
00:14:15will be the least of your problems.
00:14:30Hey.
00:14:32Thanks for saving me today.
00:14:35You need to be more careful.
00:14:37All right?
00:14:37Some places, they're not safe.
00:14:39You can call me again,
00:14:40but call me right away.
00:14:45Are you always this nice to the women in your life?
00:14:53Why is Alice so hot and cold with me?
00:14:56I need you to dig into it.
00:14:58Jessica has been telling everyone at school
00:15:00that you two are engaged.
00:15:03I'm guessing Alice threw the rumors
00:15:04and didn't take it well.
00:15:06I don't know.
00:15:09Huh.
00:15:10So she's jealous of me.
00:15:16Huh?
00:15:19She blocked me?
00:15:49Are you sure about the leave of absence?
00:15:50I just took a leave of absence.
00:15:53I'm not a student anymore.
00:15:55I'll come back when I can afford it.
00:15:56Hold on.
00:15:57If money's the issue, I can help.
00:15:59Let's talk more about this.
00:16:01Get him.
00:16:10Where did you block me?
00:16:13Did you go to my hotel room that night
00:16:15in order to just pay for your brother's medical bills?
00:16:19Yes.
00:16:22Well, would you have came
00:16:23if you knew I was someone else?
00:16:25It has to be you.
00:16:27It was always you.
00:16:29Only you.
00:16:34That's Jessica.
00:16:35The Queen Bee.
00:16:37Where it is,
00:16:37her parents are trying to set her up
00:16:38with Gavin Keen.
00:16:40So he keeps gifts on hand.
00:16:42Always ready for the next school.
00:16:44Alice, you're nothing to him.
00:16:47Please stop the car.
00:16:48This is my story.
00:16:50Wait.
00:16:53Don't ever believe what you heard about Jessica, okay?
00:16:55She's a family issue.
00:16:57My parents, they forced her onto me,
00:17:00but I never touched her and I never will.
00:17:02She's a family issue.
00:17:04She's a family issue.
00:17:05She's a family issue.
00:17:12She's a family issue.
00:17:19She's a family issue.
00:17:21Hello?
00:17:22Alice, the school counselor's been looking for you.
00:17:25Your tuition is paid in full.
00:17:26You can come back to school.
00:17:28Wait, who would pay?
00:17:30Never mind. I know exactly who would do that. We'll talk later, okay?
00:17:39Hello, Alice?
00:17:42An orgy? Classic Gavin King.
00:17:46Hello, Alice?
00:17:58You've humiliated Alice over and over in front of others. You. You skinned a big amount of her earnings, didn't
00:18:07you?
00:18:07I didn't know she mattered to anyone. I'll apologize.
00:18:12We were just messing around. We'll leave her alone forever.
00:18:21You're done. No more work in this city, and don't ever show your face here again.
00:18:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, please. We'll do anything. We'll... No.
00:18:33Sir, it's time to meet George Bishop. He's the head of the family now, and he wants to discuss a
00:18:39partnership.
00:18:41Alice?
00:18:45Oh my god, George. It's been forever.
00:18:47Oh, it's so good to see you.
00:18:51You're so much more beautiful than I remember.
00:18:54Hey, why aren't you in school? Why are you working as a caddy?
00:18:59Um...
00:19:00Mom told me about what happened to your parents and Julian.
00:19:04I'm... I'm so sorry.
00:19:07They just care about you. That's all.
00:19:14So, do you come here often, or...?
00:19:17Uh... I... Yeah. And the weather? Like...
00:19:19The weather!
00:19:20It's been...
00:19:21...every day of this summer so far.
00:19:23Yeah.
00:19:24No, are you competing?
00:19:25Yeah.
00:19:25Floating with the caddies?
00:19:29Easy, Gavin.
00:19:30I've known Alice since we were little kids. She's like a little sister to me.
00:19:35Let's walk caddies.
00:19:39All right, Alice. We'll catch up later. I'll give you a ride home.
00:19:56You know, I paid your tuition. Why aren't you in school?
00:20:00I'll pay you back.
00:20:02Oh, yeah? And who's gonna cover it? George?
00:20:05Look, George and I, we grew up together. We were neighbors. Stop twisting things.
00:20:10Do you sleep with him?
00:20:13You know, my personal life is none of your damn business, okay?
00:20:18I will pay you back every cent, but you and I, we are not friends. We aren't anything. We're strangers.
00:20:25Fine.
00:20:27Strangers.
00:20:37I really do hope you realize how serious we are about working together.
00:20:46Real deal speaks for itself.
00:20:51You're still the same, Gavin.
00:20:55Anyways, you got class tomorrow? I've got a corporate mixer. You should be my plus one.
00:21:00Yeah, I'd love to, but I, look, I don't have the proper dress for the occasions.
00:21:05Don't worry. I'll have my assistant drop off a gown for you.
00:21:09Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
00:21:24Oh, my God. She looks so pretty.
00:21:26Oh, my God. She's so pretty.
00:21:30Interesting.
00:21:32Brought your cat to a black tie event?
00:21:34She's my friend.
00:21:35Girlfriend?
00:21:36Just friends.
00:21:38Easy, man.
00:21:39Alice is a little shy.
00:21:40Shy?
00:21:42Alice is the boldest person in the room.
00:21:46She's also got a talent for turning up where she doesn't belong.
00:21:49I guess that's bold, too.
00:21:55I'm bored.
00:21:56Let's go.
00:21:58Let's talk to some more important guests, like the board members.
00:22:05So, you and Gavin know each other?
00:22:09No.
00:22:10Why does it feel like he's always picking on you?
00:22:13I don't know.
00:22:18May I have this dance?
00:22:21Sure.
00:22:22I don't know.
00:22:25He's got moves.
00:22:27Brad moves.
00:22:29He's still going to dance with it.
00:22:32That's cool.
00:22:34He's got moves.
00:22:37Brad moves.
00:22:41It's getting a little hot in here.
00:22:42I'm going to refresh.
00:22:45Oh, yeah.
00:22:46Spin around there.
00:22:49Sir, they're asking for you at the finance table.
00:22:53Got it.
00:22:53I'll be right back.
00:22:54Don't let anyone steal you for the next dance.
00:22:56No promises.
00:22:58No promises.
00:23:10Oh, my God.
00:23:12I'm so sorry.
00:23:13I'll pay for your dress and send a replacement right away.
00:23:16Here, I'll walk you to the powder room.
00:23:18I got it.
00:23:19I got it.
00:23:24You desperate little bitch.
00:23:27Think you can seduce Gavin with a cheap knockoff?
00:23:31He might pity you, but he'll never choose you.
00:23:35Oh, my God.
00:23:50What are you doing here?
00:23:52This is my room.
00:23:56George picked this out.
00:23:57It doesn't suit you.
00:24:02Caleb.
00:24:04Yeah, give me a gown.
00:24:06Alice's size.
00:24:08You know, I don't need your opinion.
00:24:10And I certainly do not need your dress.
00:24:12Want me to go get George to help you into it?
00:24:14I told you it's not like that.
00:24:16Well, then why are you so hot and cold with me?
00:24:19I don't know.
00:24:20Maybe because you have a line of women around you all the time.
00:24:23I mean, maybe I don't want to be one of those girls.
00:24:26Line of women?
00:24:28Look, I know you and Jessica are serious, okay?
00:24:30And when you were on the phone with me, I heard all of those girls.
00:24:33I mean, I'm not stupid.
00:24:34You're jealous.
00:24:37No, I'm not.
00:24:38No, I just don't understand how out of all of these girls, you want me.
00:24:43It's because I like you.
00:24:50You're going to know you feel the same.
00:25:11Wear this.
00:25:13And a piece of advice.
00:25:14Stay away from George.
00:25:16He's not who you think he is.
00:25:28Alice, you changed.
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:35That dress got ruined, so...
00:25:38No worries.
00:25:39You look stunning.
00:25:41Thanks.
00:25:48Kevin, I was looking for you everywhere.
00:25:51I'm ready.
00:25:51Here we go.
00:25:52You'll manage.
00:25:53I've got to handle something.
00:26:02Mind if I ride along?
00:26:05Not at all.
00:26:10Alice, do you want to come up front?
00:26:14Um, I'll stay here.
00:26:17It's fine.
00:26:21Why don't we drop the caddy off first?
00:26:23Come on, Gavin.
00:26:24I'll take you home.
00:26:25Then I'll take Alice later.
00:26:26No trouble.
00:26:27No rush.
00:26:29I'll ride with her.
00:26:30Please, I really don't want to get in the middle of whatever this is.
00:26:34You were the dream girl at every school dance, Alice.
00:26:37Now you're the battlefield.
00:26:39You're sounding like you really know her well.
00:26:40Well, of course.
00:26:41I grew up with her.
00:26:43I do know her.
00:26:44Knowing someone and seeing them isn't always the same thing.
00:26:47Besides, she's not going to give herself away so easily.
00:26:50Not to just anyone.
00:26:52It's a good thing I'm not just anyone.
00:26:53You don't need to stop.
00:26:55Okay?
00:26:56You know I'm sitting right here, right?
00:27:01If you lay a finger on her, I swear to-
00:27:04Oh, relax.
00:27:05Alice is like a little sister to me.
00:27:06I'll take care of her.
00:27:07No need.
00:27:08She's with me.
00:27:09I'll take care of her myself.
00:27:10I can take care of myself.
00:27:12Thank you very much.
00:27:14Unbelievable.
00:27:24Alice.
00:27:25Dr. Wilson?
00:27:26Your brother went into cardiac arrest.
00:27:28We brought him back, but he's still in critical condition.
00:27:31Our team has developed a new treatment.
00:27:33Would you consider it for Julian?
00:27:35Will it hurt him?
00:27:36There are always risks, but there's a 90% chance he'll wake up in three months.
00:27:41Okay, well that's incredible.
00:27:43How much does it cost?
00:27:44Roughly one million dollars.
00:27:46Alice, we need your decision soon.
00:27:49His condition is very unstable.
00:27:55Only two people I know could afford that kind of money.
00:28:00Alice's brother's having new treatment, costing one million.
00:28:03Our guy overheard the doctor say it.
00:28:06Keep an eye on her and George.
00:28:08Why George?
00:28:10Because Alice is mine.
00:28:22We got time tomorrow.
00:28:24We really need to talk about our engagement.
00:28:39Okay.
00:28:39Okay.
00:28:40This isn't just lunch, is it?
00:28:43Lunch is on me, but I need a favor.
00:28:45Say the word.
00:28:46I'll do anything for you.
00:28:48Bye.
00:28:53Well, look who it is.
00:28:54What a surprise.
00:28:55Hey, come sit with us.
00:29:06Alice.
00:29:07I am so sorry about the other night.
00:29:09Things got a little messy.
00:29:11I drank too much wine.
00:29:14I didn't know you two were dating.
00:29:16How adorable.
00:29:19We're not dating.
00:29:22Well, you better step it up, George.
00:29:24Which is quite popular.
00:29:26And you and Gavin?
00:29:27Childhood sweethearts.
00:29:29I heard a wedding is coming.
00:29:36Excuse me, I need to go to the restaurant.
00:29:44Alice.
00:29:45Alice?
00:29:46Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:29:47Hey.
00:29:48Why are you here with George?
00:29:50Why are you here with Jessica?
00:29:51You two seem pretty cozy for being just friends.
00:29:53Even if it was a date, it'd be none of your business.
00:29:56So it is a date.
00:30:00You slept with him, didn't you?
00:30:02You're unbelievable.
00:30:04I'll tell you one more time.
00:30:06Stay the hell away from George Bishop.
00:30:10I already told you once.
00:30:12Stay the hell away from George Bishop.
00:30:14Why do you even care so much?
00:30:16I spent so long trying to forget you.
00:30:19And you just keep showing up again and again.
00:30:23I just want a normal life.
00:30:26Why can't I choose?
00:30:28You can choose.
00:30:32Choose me.
00:30:35Not because you have to.
00:30:37Not because you want to.
00:30:51I'll do it.
00:30:52Uh-huh.
00:30:55What happened?
00:30:57I've lost my appetite.
00:30:58Let's go.
00:31:00We're leaving.
00:31:09Hey.
00:31:10I've got a business trip in South City.
00:31:12Close to where your brother's been treated.
00:31:14You should come, Alice.
00:31:16Hi.
00:31:17You could use the fresh air.
00:31:22Okay.
00:31:23I will come with you.
00:31:25Sweet.
00:31:34I'll leave you to it.
00:31:35Take your time.
00:31:43Julian, do you think it's possible to forget about someone that you loved?
00:31:49Do you?
00:31:51Do you remember Gavin?
00:31:53Yeah, you used to play basketball in high school with him.
00:31:57If I told you that we had a one-night stand, would that shock you awake?
00:32:03I don't know how to do this without you, okay?
00:32:06If you can hear any part of this, please just come back to me.
00:32:15George knows Dr. Wilson?
00:32:19Whatever I can do to help.
00:32:21Say the word.
00:32:23Well, there's this new treatment for Julian.
00:32:25I want to try, but it's a million dollars.
00:32:28A million dollars?
00:32:30Yeah.
00:32:31I'll cover it.
00:32:32Well, I don't know when I'm going to be able to pay you back.
00:32:39You could pay me back in a different way.
00:32:42If it's something I can do, I will.
00:32:45My mom has cancer.
00:32:47What?
00:32:48I'm so sorry.
00:32:50She always wanted to see me get married and start a family.
00:32:55So I thought I'd ask if you'd pretend to be my girlfriend.
00:33:04Um, well, look, even if you weren't helping Julian, I'd still say yes.
00:33:09Your mom was always so nice to me.
00:33:14If we're going to do this, we've got to do it right.
00:33:18Wow.
00:33:19I mean, those ranks aren't cheap.
00:33:23You didn't have to spend so much if it's just for show.
00:33:32Even if we're pretending, we've got to have something real in there.
00:33:35That's how my mom's going to believe it.
00:33:42If we're going to fake it, we should practice.
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:52Well, Alice.
00:33:53Hi.
00:33:54You won't believe it.
00:33:55My husband woke up.
00:33:58And I have a feeling your brother's going to wake up, too.
00:34:01Congratulations.
00:34:02I mean, are there any side effects from the new treatment or...
00:34:06How is what new treatment?
00:34:08He woke up on his own.
00:34:09Dr. Wilson's new treatment.
00:34:11I mean, it didn't do anything?
00:34:14Oh, no.
00:34:16That...
00:34:16The FDA shut that down, like, years ago.
00:34:19And he's still trying to find new people to test it on.
00:34:24I told him, hell no.
00:34:32Okay.
00:34:33I looked into Dr. Wilson's research, and there are some serious concerns.
00:34:37Where'd you get this?
00:34:39Gavin.
00:34:39He gave me a full report.
00:34:41And I did my own research.
00:34:43It looks like the FDA had flagged his...
00:34:45Do you trust Gavin?
00:34:47Yeah, he's trying to help.
00:34:49He even offered to refer Julian to a better hospital.
00:34:52Dr. Wilson is the best there is.
00:34:54There is no one better.
00:34:56George.
00:34:56Look, it's good to have some options.
00:34:58I don't think I can trust him anymore.
00:35:00Alice, you need to think this through.
00:35:02There's always going to be red tape on breakthrough work.
00:35:06If I were you, I'd be real careful about Gavin's recommendations.
00:35:12His family's tied up in some shady pharma deals.
00:35:19Dr. Wilson, I'm here to inform you that I've changed the primary caregiver for Julian.
00:35:24Please stop all treatment immediately.
00:35:25Why, so sudden, his treatment is going well.
00:35:28Your treatment is nothing but a front for your petty experiments.
00:35:31Ridiculous.
00:35:32I've exhausted my resources helping your brother, and this is how you thank me?
00:35:36You got any proof?
00:35:38I do.
00:35:43Look familiar?
00:35:44The FDA shut you down years ago.
00:35:47You've been using Julian as a test subject for years without approval.
00:35:50The FDA doesn't know what they're doing.
00:35:52They've been wrong before.
00:35:53Over...
00:35:53Enough!
00:35:55Stop all the treatment, and I would like Julian's full-up medical records by the end of the day.
00:35:58Understood?
00:36:15Woke up just in time.
00:36:16What are you doing?
00:36:18I need a lab rat.
00:36:20And since Julian has no other option, you're my next perfect victim.
00:36:25You're insane!
00:36:25I need to rework my protocols, Alice.
00:36:28For science.
00:36:29Stop!
00:36:30Stop!
00:36:31Look!
00:36:31Just give me a moment, and I'll collaborate.
00:36:34Hey!
00:36:45Alice.
00:36:46Come here.
00:36:47Come on.
00:36:48Just give me a moment.
00:36:49There you go.
00:36:50Let's go.
00:36:59You won't be my lab rats.
00:37:00You won't be my lab rats.
00:37:09Caleb.
00:37:11I've given a statement to the police.
00:37:15Now look at the front page tomorrow.
00:37:16Your name's going to be rotting on it.
00:37:21Hey.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:24Okay?
00:37:25My research.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:31Wake around.
00:37:41Ow!
00:37:42Careful.
00:37:43Careful.
00:37:43It stings.
00:37:44Does it hurt a lot?
00:37:45I'll take you to the ER, okay?
00:37:46They can thoroughly check it.
00:37:47No.
00:37:47No.
00:37:48No.
00:37:48It's fine.
00:37:48Okay?
00:37:50You're doing well.
00:37:52Honey.
00:37:55Gavin, how did you find me?
00:37:57Well, something was off about that doctor, and I had Caleb keep an eye on their visits.
00:38:03As soon as you disappeared, I knew something went wrong.
00:38:06Gavin, I...
00:38:07I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I don't regret Caleb Pauling you.
00:38:13If I showed up a minute later, I...
00:38:16I don't know what would have happened.
00:38:20Come home with me, Alice.
00:38:23I'm the only one who can take care of you properly.
00:38:34Um, look.
00:38:35I'm really sorry.
00:38:38I'll pay you back for everything, okay?
00:38:40How?
00:38:45However you want.
00:38:55I...
00:38:57I...
00:38:59I...
00:39:02Oh, uh...
00:39:05Oh, uh...
00:39:06Oh, uh...
00:39:39Look, I should take care of you.
00:39:41Text him, just so he knows I'm safe.
00:39:43Caleb's gonna settle that.
00:39:45Now that you're with me, I need you to break it off with George.
00:39:47George and I, we were never dating.
00:39:50Look, it was fake.
00:39:52For his mom.
00:39:53So she could have her last days happy.
00:39:55I mean, she has stage four cancer.
00:39:57Alice, I don't think fake dating sums up everything that George wants from you.
00:40:02What do you mean?
00:40:11What's your brother's name?
00:40:13And tell me his age.
00:40:14I'm gonna text his info to the best hospital.
00:40:16I'll get him transferred tonight.
00:40:17Julian Perry, 28.
00:40:19Julian Perry?
00:40:22Yeah.
00:40:23Julian Perry, from the Perry family.
00:40:25Yeah, you guys crossed paths a couple times in college, right?
00:40:28Yeah.
00:40:29Yeah, we used to play together on a team.
00:40:32Basketball, you know?
00:40:34You're his little sister.
00:40:37Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:44It wouldn't have changed anything, would it?
00:40:48Well, what happened?
00:40:50Where's your family?
00:40:52Well, there was a car accident.
00:40:55My parents, they died.
00:40:58And then Julian, he ended up in a coma.
00:41:01And my uncle took advantage of it.
00:41:04He sold our estate.
00:41:05Sold our only house.
00:41:09So, you dropped out of college.
00:41:12And started working to pay for Julian's care.
00:41:17I just really want to wake up.
00:41:25You will.
00:41:26I'll see too.
00:41:54You're not alone.
00:41:56You're not alone.
00:42:22Going back home already?
00:42:24George.
00:42:26Hi, George.
00:42:27Look, thank you so much for taking care of me the past couple days.
00:42:31You checked your brother out of the hospital.
00:42:32What happened?
00:42:33He's still going through treatment.
00:42:35Look, it's okay.
00:42:36Gavin was able to transfer him to a better hospital, and we're going to take care of him now.
00:42:40Alice, Dr. Wilson is...
00:42:41George, Dr. Wilson tried to kidnap me.
00:42:44But it's okay.
00:42:45I know you're just trying to help.
00:42:48I...
00:42:48Of course I am.
00:42:50But...
00:42:50The truth is that if Gavin wasn't there to save me, I mean, I wouldn't be here right now.
00:42:54You're welcome, George.
00:42:56Why didn't you call me?
00:42:58You're not obligated to take care of Alice.
00:43:00After all, you two are just fake dating.
00:43:03She's my best friend.
00:43:03Well, then, thank you for your friendship.
00:43:06Don't worry.
00:43:07She's going to be safe with me.
00:43:09Alice?
00:43:10It's true.
00:43:11I'm going to go with Gavin, but I'm really grateful for everything you've done for Julian and I.
00:43:17Hi, Alice.
00:43:20Take this with you as well.
00:43:21It's a precious stone.
00:43:23Give it to Lova your life, would you?
00:43:46Glad to have you back, Alice.
00:43:49Oh, also, please make sure to be at the event hall tomorrow at 3 p.m.
00:43:54You get to cut the ribbon for our new education fund.
00:43:57One of the donors asked for you to be its first grantee.
00:44:00Sorry, what education fund?
00:44:02Who is this donor?
00:44:03You'll see for yourself.
00:44:06Oh, I need to run for my next meeting.
00:44:09I will see you tomorrow at 3 p.m.?
00:44:10Yep.
00:44:17Did you donate to my school?
00:44:19I did.
00:44:20Any objections?
00:44:21No, but you don't have to do that.
00:44:25I'll see you at the ceremony.
00:44:55Today, we celebrate the launch of our new education fund.
00:45:02A big thank you to the Keene and Sinclair families for their generous support of our new education endeavor.
00:45:18I hate to admit that Mr. Keene and Jessica look like the perfect match.
00:45:22To be rich and to be rich and in love.
00:45:29Alice?
00:45:31Would you do the honor?
00:45:40I'm sorry, I don't...
00:45:43I'm not really feeling that good.
00:45:45Alice?
00:45:45Alice?
00:45:46Alice?
00:45:47Alice?
00:45:49Alice?
00:45:50Alice?
00:45:54Alice?
00:45:54Alice, hold on.
00:45:55I'm going to get you to the hospital.
00:46:17I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:46:19Hey.
00:46:20Shouldn't you be with Jessica?
00:46:23You passed out.
00:46:24I brought you to see a doctor.
00:46:28I didn't know that Jessica inserted herself into the fondant to the last minute.
00:46:33You should go. I mean, if people see us here, rumors will spread. It won't look good for you.
00:46:37Alice, I brought you to a hospital, not a hotel. What's your concern?
00:46:42Right. Because I'm your secret? You're friends with benefits? Right. Yeah, Jessica. She's the
00:46:47real fiance. She's the one who fits your frame. Jessica's the family ordeal. Okay, I never wanted
00:46:53her. Want her or not? She's still your fiance, right?
00:47:04The doctor already drew your blood. We should get the results back soon.
00:47:08Drew my blood for what? Well, you mumbled something about being pregnant.
00:47:15Ah, Miss Perry. Good to see you awake. We have your test results back. It looks like you fainted
00:47:22because of emotional stress and chronic anemia from malnutrition. I would guess that you haven't
00:47:27been eating regularly, which has caused gastritis. Hmm. So we just need to get on a diet, right?
00:47:34That's right. And we've ruled out pregnancy. Here is your prescription. Follow the instructions
00:47:41and take some rest at home, okay? You'll be fine, Miss Perry.
00:47:46Thank you, doctor. Hey, Gavin. If I would have been pregnant, would you have kept our baby?
00:48:01If I would have been pregnant, would you have kept our child?
00:48:07We'll let the baby decide once it can walk and talk.
00:48:11Come on. Caleb's ready with the car. I want to get you home.
00:48:20Gavin! You're supposed to be at that ceremony with Jessica. What are you doing here?
00:48:25I am...
00:48:26And who's this young lady?
00:48:28Uh, ma'am, this is my cousin Alice. Alice, please send me Mrs. Keen. Gavin's mother?
00:48:35Oh, nice to meet you, Mrs. Keen. Oh, what a lovely girl.
00:48:39She had a rough week. I did ask Mrs. Keen to help out. I'm... I do apologize.
00:48:44As he should. You've worked for our family for years, Caleb. You're practically family to him.
00:48:51Anything that your cousin needs, she can come to me directly.
00:48:55Thank you, Mrs. Keen.
00:48:58Gavin, book us a nice table. I bet it's not every day that Miss Alice is here. Dinner's on me.
00:49:07No, that's really kind, Mrs. Keen, but I don't really...
00:49:10Dinner? Sounds amazing.
00:49:13And I'm starving.
00:49:16Joey?
00:49:17Okay.
00:49:23Alice, you're far too thin. You should see a nutritionist. I'll keep that in mind, Mrs. Keen.
00:49:34Oh, uh, excuse me. I think you brought that too early.
00:49:38Actually, I sent it. Alice has low blood sugar. And I think something a little sweet is going to balance
00:49:44things out.
00:49:45Oh, my God.
00:49:47Gavin always has been a good boy. He just didn't want the others to know it.
00:49:52Always pretending to be so cold.
00:49:55But, I do notice the details.
00:49:59Like that hickey mark on your neck you came home with a few weeks ago.
00:50:04Bress nearly ran with it. Thank God my PR team got ahead of it.
00:50:11Jessica's team was livid said it could have hurt her brand image
00:50:17Gavin could use some discretion yeah that wasn't Jessica
00:50:27yeah that wasn't Jessica
00:50:30excuse me Mrs. Keene I'm actually feeling really unwell
00:50:34I think I should go rest but thank you so much for inviting me

00:59:29so I suggest put in a warm bath
00:59:31this will help it wear off faster
01:00:00this will help it wear off faster
01:00:00I fell for you eight years ago
01:00:02and
01:00:04you're marrying someone else
01:00:05but
01:00:07why aren't you here with me
01:00:09Alice
01:00:10you're not thinking straight
01:00:12maybe we should talk about this
01:00:17you know the doctor said
01:00:18that you need to warn back
01:00:44he has been
01:01:01I got this bracelet. It looks exactly like my mom's.
01:01:05Alice?
01:01:08Um, Mrs. Keen, oh my god.
01:01:10I am so sorry.
01:01:12Um, Caleb, he asked Gavin if I could stay in the guest room.
01:01:18It's alright.
01:01:20But what did you just say about my bracelet?
01:01:23Oh, um, yeah, it just looks exactly like the one my mom had.
01:01:27It even has the photo in the jewelry box and everything.
01:01:31What was your mother's name?
01:01:33Elise.
01:01:35And was she married to a Samuel Perry?
01:01:38That was my dad.
01:01:41Come with me.
01:01:47This is your mother and I when we were 10.
01:01:51Oh my god.
01:01:55Gavin!
01:01:57Can you believe it?
01:01:59Alice's mom was my bestie before we moved away from our hometown.
01:02:04I knew that I knew you somehow.
01:02:06I just never imagined.
01:02:10How are your parents?
01:02:13Um, they passed away actually.
01:02:17Yeah, it was a car accident.
01:02:18It was a couple years ago.
01:02:20I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
01:02:23If I had known, I would have never let you go through this alone.
01:02:27It's okay.
01:02:31Let me help you.
01:02:32If you're willing, I can arrange something with Gavin's cousin.
01:02:37If you marry into the Keene family, I can take care of you properly.
01:02:42No.
01:02:46No.
01:02:47Why not?
01:02:49Because Alice's brother's in a coma and she needs to take care of him.
01:02:54Even better.
01:02:55Your cousin and I can help out.
01:02:58What do you say, Alice?
01:03:06I, um...
01:03:08Alice, what is there to think about?
01:03:10I mean, you're really considering marrying my cousin?
01:03:13When you have the wealthiest, most handsome bachelor in the world right beside you?
01:03:19You're really in the mood to joke?
01:03:22Still, I...
01:03:23I just didn't expect it.
01:03:27Gavin, I think I want to give up.
01:03:30Give up on what?
01:03:32On us.
01:03:34Look, I don't want to be in the middle of you and Jessica anymore for my dignity, for my pride.
01:03:42You're really considering marrying my cousin?
01:03:44No.
01:03:45No, I don't want to marry anybody.
01:03:47I want to be by my brother's side and wait until he wakes up.
01:03:52You mean that?
01:03:55Me too.
01:04:03What's this?
01:04:06This is for you.
01:04:13Gavin, I can't take this. It's way too much.
01:04:15Nothing is too much for you.
01:04:18Not for me.
01:04:22Gavin, I...
01:04:26I'll wait.
01:04:28But this...
01:04:30Please just do this one thing for me.
01:04:38This is Resources.
01:04:39G hacen just fell and slurvy.
01:04:40I just tô rried.
01:04:54Can't do it anymore.
01:04:56My own team for users.
01:04:56My own team, my team everyone, my team.
01:04:59Hi.
01:05:01My team are seven and eight.
01:05:02You're so ceaseless.
01:05:02Megh Div vertically. I
01:05:02Don't move, if you want your brother alive, he'll do as I say.
01:05:12Did you find anything?
01:05:13I confirmed it. The car Jolene crashed in.
01:05:15It was rented from a lot run by one of Jessica's distant relatives.
01:05:19Hmm, you sure?
01:05:21Positive. I just sent you the footage from that day.
01:05:36George, what have you done?
01:05:45Go check Jolene.
01:05:47At the hospital.
01:05:50Now.
01:05:55Dr. Wilson was experimenting on patients and you were part of it, weren't you?
01:05:58Hover guess.
01:06:01Stupid move.
01:06:08Your family's business has become quite successful over the years.
01:06:11I mean, why would you get involved with something like this with Dr. Wilson?
01:06:14Because biotech is the future.
01:06:17It's the most profitable game in the world.
01:06:20If Wilson's trials work,
01:06:23we'll rule.
01:06:26Disgusting.
01:06:27And to be utterly honest with you,
01:06:29I just wanted to use your brother.
01:06:32Why?
01:06:34George, what did we ever do to you?
01:06:35Do innocent lives mean anything to you?
01:06:37Nothing.
01:06:39Nothing at all.
01:06:43Don't!
01:06:46This remote is linked to Jolene's vitals.
01:06:50I press this button.
01:06:51A flood of sedatives hits his bloodstream.
01:06:55You don't want that.
01:06:58Trust me.
01:07:00George.
01:07:01We...
01:07:02We grew up together.
01:07:03Okay.
01:07:04Julian and I, we considered you a friend.
01:07:08A friend?
01:07:10That friendship was never real.
01:07:14What?
01:07:15Your family was rich.
01:07:17Mine wasn't.
01:07:18You gave me clothes.
01:07:20Food.
01:07:21Thought that made you good people.
01:07:25That wasn't kindness.
01:07:27That was pity.
01:07:29And humiliation.
01:07:32No.
01:07:33No.
01:07:34Those clothes were brand new.
01:07:35I mean, those were for you.
01:07:37And...
01:07:38You never once looked at me the way you looked at him.
01:07:43Who are you talking about?
01:07:44Gavin!
01:07:45You fell for him at first sight.
01:07:47And from then on, I just disappeared.
01:07:50I told Julian that I liked you.
01:07:52But he said your feelings were your own.
01:07:56So I made sure he'd never speak again.
01:08:00You...
01:08:01You caused the crash.
01:08:04Julian doesn't deserve my friendship.
01:08:06And you?
01:08:08You don't deserve anything.
01:08:12Get him off me!
01:08:14Get him off me!
01:08:15Get him off me!
01:08:17Get him off me!
01:08:18Get him off me!
01:08:20George, please!
01:08:21Please!
01:08:22This isn't you!
01:08:23Please!
01:08:26Julian!
01:08:31Julian!
01:08:32I'm...
01:08:32You're awake!
01:08:32What happened?
01:08:33Look...
01:08:34It's okay.
01:08:35I will explain everything later, but right now...
01:08:38we have someone more important to be.
01:08:40I'm welcome.
01:08:52Gavin?
01:08:53You look a bit distracted for a night of celebration.
01:08:58I'm just...
01:09:00nervous.
01:09:01Or maybe you're wondering if a certain someone is gonna walk in here
01:09:05and ruin their big night.
01:09:08Certainly...
01:09:09not.
01:09:20No.
01:09:22How is this possible?
01:09:24Hey.
01:09:25Remember what I told you.
01:09:27If you love something, you fight for it.
01:09:30No matter what.
01:09:32I will.
01:09:34And go.
01:09:41Gavin?
01:09:44May I have this dance?
01:09:49May I have this dance?
01:10:11Why did you?
01:10:14I...
01:10:15Julian told me to fight for what I want.
01:10:18Hmm.
01:10:20And...
01:10:20I think I finally realized what that is.
01:10:25I want...
01:10:26Shh.
01:10:29I know.
01:10:37You look breathtaking tonight.
01:10:46I thought this was Jessica's engagement party.
01:10:50What?
01:10:52What?
01:10:53What?
01:10:53What?
01:10:58If you are Nicole and she is broke dead, she is Emma.
01:10:58May I have any honor?
01:11:09Your sister is now gonna sneak her way into this.
01:11:12The Sinclair's and the king's have been bound for generations.
01:11:14generations. No one's changing that. Not you, not her. Look, you know deep down Gavin never
01:11:21loved you. So why the hassle? I love him, so I'll make him love me. See, loving someone
01:11:30doesn't give you the right to hurt others, let alone commit crimes. What are you trying
01:11:36to say? What I'm trying to say is grown-ups take responsibility for their actions. Your
01:11:44sister's a tramp, and you think you can humiliate me? Dream on.
01:11:54That's enough! This is my engagement party! You think you can walk in here, steal my
01:12:01fiancé, and face no consequences? Is there no justice?
01:12:09But there is justice, Jessica. Look at the screen.
01:12:18Oh my god, she tried to kill him.
01:12:32It was Jessica.
01:12:35For those still wondering, yes, that is me in a hospital bed in a coma. And yes, that is
01:12:46Jessica keeping me there. It's a fake. It's a deep fake.
01:12:59What have you done?
01:13:03Please, it's not what you think. There's more evidence in the drive.
01:13:07How is it that I'm always the villain? And to you, Gavin, she is always right.
01:13:13Please, don't fool yourself. She doesn't love you. She loves your money.
01:13:21You don't deserve to be Gavin's fiancé. I'm calling off the engagement.
01:13:28You can't. You need the Sinclairs for your business.
01:13:32Of course I can.
01:13:40Ma'am, you're under arrest for attempted murder.
01:13:44Why, Jessica?
01:13:45Why?
01:13:46I'll tell you why. I made a deal with George. So George gets you, and Gavin is mine.
01:13:59Looks like you'll be joining the Keene family anyways.
01:14:05Mom, I wanted to tell you, but you know the party, everything, it was planned.
01:14:13Wait, so you threw this whole engagement party just to catch a criminal?
01:14:18Well, I also did it to win back the woman I love.
01:14:23Come on, Alice. I thought you said you won this moment for eight years.
01:14:47Okay, what is happening?
01:14:53Can you take this off down between these?
01:15:02Gavin, this is...
01:15:05Alice?
01:15:13I have the honor of hearing your voice every morning.
01:15:17to share every laughter, every silence, and to have you as my wife forever and ever.
01:15:26Yeah.
01:15:28Yeah.
01:15:30Oh, it's so beautiful.
01:15:47What are you doing?
01:15:50Hey, stranger.
01:15:52Hi.
01:15:56Why haven't you kissed me yet?
01:15:59Because I'm not into forcing anything.
01:16:01I was a tough one...
01:16:08Oh, my God.
