00:00:06I woke up in a stranger's bed, but the stranger was my boss.
00:00:22Marry me.
00:00:24He wanted to buy me, like I was a company.
00:00:35The man I loved and the friend I trusted, they were both lying to me.
00:00:47So I signed.
00:00:49Not for love.
00:00:50For revenge.
00:00:56Just a weak assistant.
00:01:02They thought I was broken.
00:01:04They had no idea.
00:01:06I was just getting started.
00:01:18I am Chaos.
00:01:21The designer everyone is hunting.
00:01:37I have to get out of here.
00:01:39Now.
00:01:50Good morning, Hallie.
00:01:53Mr. Gardner.
00:01:54I...
00:01:55This was a mistake.
00:01:56I need to leave.
00:01:58I need to leave.
00:02:02Wear these.
00:02:05What?
00:02:06Given the events of last night, and my position, we need to discuss the path forward.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:22A scandal involving the CEO and a junior assist to be detrimental to the stock price.
00:02:27A sudden marriage can be spun as a whirlwind romance.
00:02:31It solves the PR crisis.
00:02:33I am not marrying you for a stock price.
00:02:36It is a contract.
00:02:38A business arrangement.
00:02:39I have a boyfriend.
00:02:41Irving.
00:02:45A creative director.
00:02:47An obstacle, but hardly an insurmountable one.
00:02:50He didn't answer your calls last night.
00:02:52That doesn't mean anything.
00:02:54Get dressed, Hallie.
00:02:56The car is waiting downstairs.
00:03:12I'm leaving.
00:03:14We are going to pretend this never happened.
00:03:16We will never speak of this again.
00:03:20Hallie.
00:03:22Running doesn't solve problems.
00:03:24It solves this one.
00:03:39Miss Andrews.
00:03:40Mr. Gardner instructed me to take you home.
00:03:46I can take the subway.
00:03:47The doorman is watching, Miss Andrews.
00:03:50And the paparazzi.
00:03:51It would be best to get in.
00:03:55Mr. Gardner rarely loses control.
00:03:58You must be unexpected.
00:04:04Mistakes usually don't involve archival Chanel.
00:04:15Stop the car.
00:04:17Mrs. Andrews, we are in the middle of traffic.
00:04:20Please, stop.
00:04:21There's a CVS right there.
00:04:22I need something.
00:04:23I need something.
00:04:34Ezra is a Cortez.
00:04:34Ezra is a man who takes care of his assets.
00:04:38Let's go.
00:04:50You'll be mumble.
00:04:53I'll be in the middle of it.
00:04:53Your mother.
00:04:53Things like flying echo said sih.
00:04:53You'll fall in the middle of the car.
00:04:54He lied.
00:05:05Mine.
00:05:12Oh my god, you look like death.
00:05:14But listen, they found a woman's ripped dress in Ezra's penthouse food on Saturday morning.
00:05:18Probably a model he took home from the gala.
00:05:21That's what everyone is saying.
00:05:23They're all trying to guess who.
00:05:27Andrews, this sketch, it's disruptive.
00:05:32I want you taking notes in the 2pm concept meeting.
00:05:36Nothing, sir.
00:05:37Yes, of course.
00:05:53Design department, Holly Andrews.
00:05:55Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Gardner would like to see you in his office.
00:06:00Now.
00:06:02I'm in the middle of preparing for the...
00:06:04Now, Mrs. Andrews.
00:06:15Did you hear about the dress?
00:06:17Everyone's talking about it.
00:06:19Of course.
00:06:20But get this.
00:06:21Ezra Gardner was seen driving a woman out of the garage Saturday morning, in the Maybach.
00:06:25Who was she?
00:06:26No idea.
00:06:27But the rumor is she was wearing runway Chanel.
00:06:32Whoever she is, she won't last.
00:06:34Ezra Gardner doesn't do relationships.
00:06:52Is the air conditioning and design malfunctioning?
00:06:54Uh, no, Mr. Gardner.
00:06:56It's quite comfortable.
00:06:58It must be freezing to warrant such heavy wool.
00:07:02I run cold.
00:07:03Really?
00:07:05That wasn't my impression.
00:07:07Stay.
00:07:14Your tag is sticking out.
00:07:17Hide it well, Hallie.
00:07:20I don't like sharing what's mine.
00:07:23Into my office.
00:07:25Now.
00:07:43You wanted to see me, Mr. Gardner?
00:07:50It says Hallie Andrews declined your request.
00:07:54Is this how you treat your fiancé?
00:07:58I'm not your fiancé.
00:08:02We are negotiating.
00:08:04And declining a friend request is a poor opening move, Hallie.
00:08:19The prenuptial agreement.
00:08:21Draft one.
00:08:27You can't be serious.
00:08:28The allowance?
00:08:29It's more than my annual salary.
00:08:32I am always serious about my investments.
00:08:34I am not an investment.
00:08:39I want my life back.
00:08:41I want to be invisible again.
00:08:43I notice assets others overlook, Hallie.
00:08:47For instance, your particular interest in Senator Grimes.
00:08:54How do you know about that?
00:08:56I told you.
00:08:57I verify my investments.
00:09:02You're chasing a ghost.
00:09:04A junior assistant will never get close enough to ask him your questions.
00:09:08And you think you can help?
00:09:10I don't think.
00:09:11I know.
00:09:14Being Mrs. Ezra Gardner puts you at his table.
00:09:18It forces him to acknowledge you.
00:09:21Why?
00:09:22Why are you doing this for me?
00:09:24Because I always acquire what catches my eye.
00:09:31I need time.
00:09:33Take it.
00:09:35But while you think, check your phone.
00:09:41Accept my friend request.
00:09:48Good.
00:09:49Now go back to work.
00:09:52What?
00:09:55And Hallie?
00:09:56Cancel your dinner plans.
00:09:58I have a date with Irvin.
00:10:02Not anymore.
00:10:03I have a date with Irvin.
00:10:11Whoa.
00:10:12You okay?
00:10:13You look...
00:10:14Green.
00:10:16Bad sushi.
00:10:17I just threw up everything.
00:10:19Are you sure it's not...
00:10:21Morning sickness?
00:10:24Definitely not.
00:10:25Just food poisoning.
00:10:32Hala, look!
00:10:33The all-company email!
00:10:37You're on the S-Country Fashion Week list.
00:10:39My name was at the bottom of the list.
00:10:41This was Ezra's doing.
00:10:42He was manipulating my entire career.
00:10:45I don't care if he's in a board meeting, Finley.
00:10:48He can't just do this to me.
00:10:52He left this for you, Ms. Andrews.
00:10:54This is your chance to prove you are not just a pretty face.
00:10:58Don't waste it.
00:11:04Babe, saw the list.
00:11:06We can turn this into a romantic vacation.
00:11:10A romantic vacation?
00:11:12Now you want to be seen with me?
00:11:15Feeling sick?
00:11:18Liar.
00:11:18Finley left something at the front desk for you.
00:11:21Mr. Butler said this was urgent.
00:11:23Inside the bag was a thermist of ginger soup.
00:11:26He knew.
00:11:27He knew!
00:11:27He knew I took the pill!
00:11:29He thinks he can control me with soup?
00:11:32Make me compliant?
00:11:38I drank just enough to settle my stomach.
00:11:40Then walked to the nearest trash can.
00:11:43Did you clear the security logs from the pharmacy?
00:11:45And the lobby footage.
00:11:47No record of her illness exists.
00:11:50Drive.
00:11:53To us, Hallie.
00:11:54And to your big break.
00:12:01You smell like Chanel No 5.
00:12:03That's Leah's signature scent.
00:12:05I must have walked through her perfume cloud at the office.
00:12:08Now about S country.
00:12:10I'm thinking of heading out a few days early.
00:12:13A few days early?
00:12:14Sounds busy.
00:12:15Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:29I hope Leah is okay.
00:12:31She just told me she's terribly sick.
00:12:35Oh?
00:12:36That's too bad.
00:12:45Actually, babe, I totally forgot.
00:12:48I have a conference call with the Tokyo team in 30 minutes.
00:12:51I have to cut this short.
00:12:52Of course.
00:12:53Work first.
00:12:57Just wait a second.
00:13:06Leah.
00:13:10Driver.
00:13:11Take me home.
00:13:14Take me home.
00:13:43Going up?
00:13:44Are you following me?
00:13:46It's my building, Hallie.
00:13:48I'm everywhere.
00:13:54My phone.
00:13:55Where is it?
00:13:57No, no, no.
00:13:58It's shattered.
00:13:59The evidence.
00:14:00I had everything.
00:14:01Forget the phone.
00:14:02Are you injured?
00:14:04I'm fine.
00:14:05But I lost the proof.
00:14:08We're stuck.
00:14:10The emergency button is dead.
00:14:14Are you okay?
00:14:15Your knuckles are white.
00:14:17I'm fine.
00:14:19I'm claustrophobic.
00:14:21Don't be ridiculous.
00:14:23You are.
00:14:24You're sweating.
00:14:26Talk to me.
00:14:27Just talk.
00:14:29About anything.
00:14:44I've got you.
00:14:45I'm fine.
00:14:46Get off me.
00:14:48You can't even stand.
00:14:50Lean on me.
00:14:51We have to take the stairs.
00:14:54Your leg.
00:14:55What happened?
00:14:56Old injury.
00:14:57A lifetime ago.
00:14:59Ezra, what happened?
00:15:01Get Ms. Andrews a new phone.
00:15:03The latest model.
00:15:04Yes, sir.
00:15:04Restore her cloud data immediately.
00:15:07I don't need...
00:15:09It's a worker's comp issue.
00:15:11Do it.
00:15:31You're still here?
00:15:33Finley is still working.
00:15:35And he said the storm was bad.
00:15:38No Ubers.
00:15:40I'll drive you.
00:15:43You shouldn't be driving your leg.
00:15:47I have a driver, Hallie.
00:16:06You were sleeping.
00:16:07We've been parked for 20 minutes.
00:16:09Where are we?
00:16:11Why did we stop?
00:16:13For the sugar cash.
00:16:17You didn't have to do this.
00:16:19I told you, Hallie.
00:16:20I take care of my investments.
00:16:32The contract.
00:16:33Send me the final version.
00:16:35Are you sure?
00:16:38I want access to Grimes.
00:16:40That's my condition.
00:16:47You'll have it.
00:16:49And I want to design.
00:16:51For real.
00:16:53Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:56You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie.
00:16:59I've seen your sketches.
00:17:02You have potential.
00:17:04You've seen my sketches?
00:17:06I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:21It came from the top floor.
00:17:23What is it?
00:17:25It's the first move in my war.
00:17:32Adequate.
00:17:34High praise from you.
00:17:36When you see him, don't look at him like a daughter.
00:17:39Look at him like an equal.
00:17:43I don't know if I can.
00:17:46You can.
00:17:47You have me.
00:17:55Showtime, Mrs. Gardner.
00:17:57Ezra, good to see you.
00:17:59And who is this lovely accessory?
00:18:01Senator, I'd like you to meet my fiancée.
00:18:03Fiancée?
00:18:05You?
00:18:06Yes.
00:18:07This is Hallie.
00:18:08Hallie Andrews.
00:18:10A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:14The pleasure is mine.
00:18:16He didn't even recognize me.
00:18:19He's intrigued.
00:18:21That's the first step.
00:18:23Now, we burn his world down.
00:18:26But first, we dance.
00:18:34Who are you, Exra Gardner?
00:18:36The man who saw your value when everyone else was blind.
00:18:42Kiss me.
00:18:43With pleasure.
00:19:08Andrews, explain this.
00:19:10These are Wendy's sketches.
00:19:12Why are you showing them to me?
00:19:13Don't play dumb.
00:19:14I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:19:17Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:19:21She was playing a trick.
00:19:23And why would I steal this?
00:19:24It's derivative.
00:19:26It's mediocre.
00:19:27Excuse me?
00:19:28You little thief.
00:19:29You're just a glorified coffee girl.
00:19:31You only got here by men.
00:19:32Hallie, the sketches were in your desk.
00:19:34That's possession of proprietary IP.
00:19:36We have zero tolerance.
00:19:37Check the cameras.
00:19:39There's a camera right above my desk.
00:19:41Oh.
00:19:41Didn't you hear?
00:19:42The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:45How convenient.
00:19:47Ms. Andrews, hand over your badge.
00:19:50We need to escort you for an investigative interview.
00:19:52I didn't do it.
00:19:56Hallie.
00:19:57This way.
00:19:58Don't touch me.
00:20:02That's what happens when you fly too close to the sun.
00:20:05Sign this.
00:20:06It's standard protocol.
00:20:11Don't sign anything.
00:20:12Mr. Butler, this is an HR matter.
00:20:15Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:20:18And he is not pleased.
00:20:31Report.
00:20:32Mr. Gardner, we found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:37Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:39Evidence.
00:20:42These were the files, sir.
00:20:51You're telling me my special assistant with access to this acclomerate's confidential financials
00:20:56and has risked her career to steal this?
00:20:58This pedestrian, uninspired garbage?
00:21:02Sir, it's the fall lead piece.
00:21:04It's a poor knockoff of a Balenciade code from five years ago.
00:21:07Where is the security footage?
00:21:09The cameras were down, sir.
00:21:10For maintenance.
00:21:11Maintenance.
00:21:12I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon, and it just happened to go down?
00:21:18Finley, get IT security.
00:21:20I want a forensic auto of the server logs.
00:21:22Pull the physical backup tapes from the basement.
00:21:24If I find out this was a setup, termination will be the least of your worries.
00:21:28I will sue you for corporate sabotage until your great-crazed grandchildren are paying the legal fees.
00:21:36Tear that up.
00:21:41Ms. Andrews returns to her desk.
00:21:43If anyone has a problem with that, they can see me.
00:21:46Personally.
00:21:48Allie.
00:21:50Yes?
00:21:51My office.
00:21:52Tomorrow morning.
00:21:538 a.m.
00:21:54Don't be late.
00:22:06Bring an appetite.
00:22:07I'm not eating alone.
00:22:22Sit.
00:22:24Eat.
00:22:27You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:34It's for energy.
00:22:35For catching rats.
00:22:38He thinks...
00:22:40Your assistant...
00:22:41He definitely thinks we're sleeping together.
00:22:43He knows we are engaged.
00:22:45It's functionally the same thing in his mind.
00:22:48It's not.
00:22:49This is a business arrangement.
00:22:55Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:57The company account.
00:22:59Why?
00:23:00I want to pay for my share.
00:23:01I am not a kept woman.
00:23:04I have a salary.
00:23:06I have a salary.
00:23:08Hallie.
00:23:09The orange juice costs more than your hourly rate.
00:23:12I don't care.
00:23:13How much?
00:23:15If it makes your fragile ego feel better...
00:23:18Two hundred dollars.
00:23:20For eggs?
00:23:21Are the kick-ins made of gold?
00:23:24It's from Le Couchet.
00:23:26Just eat the eggs, Hallie.
00:23:37That covers the eggs and the coffee.
00:23:39I'm not paying for the truffle fries because I didn't ask for them.
00:23:41You are ridiculous.
00:23:44I am independent.
00:23:48I have a rat to catch.
00:23:56Did you see?
00:23:58She just threw money at him.
00:24:00A twenty?
00:24:01Is she tipping him?
00:24:02Or paying for...
00:24:05services?
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:09Spill.
00:24:09Did you pay Ezza twenty dollars to kiss you?
00:24:12Or did he pay you to leave?
00:24:15It was for breakfast!
00:24:17We went Dutch!
00:24:19You went Dutch with a billionaire?
00:24:23Hallie, you are doing this so wrong.
00:24:39I told you the cameras were wiped.
00:24:42But the big boss is pulling the physical tapes.
00:24:44If they find out, I cut the feed.
00:24:46They won't.
00:24:47Just tell them it was a glitch.
00:24:49Here.
00:24:57Who's there?
00:25:16Hide me.
00:25:19Please.
00:25:27Is there a problem?
00:25:29No.
00:25:30No, sir.
00:25:31We just heard a noise.
00:25:34Leave.
00:25:36Gentlemen, go ahead.
00:25:37I'll meet you at the restaurant.
00:25:40Something has...
00:25:41come up.
00:25:47You can come out now, O-Zero-Seven.
00:25:51I...
00:25:52I ripped your shirt.
00:25:55And the button...
00:25:57It rolled away.
00:25:59That was a mother-of-pearl button.
00:26:00Hand-stitched in Milan.
00:26:03I can sew it back on?
00:26:04With what?
00:26:05A stapler?
00:26:07A stapler?
00:26:10Get in.
00:26:11Before you assault anyone else.
00:26:19I was tracking Wendy.
00:26:21She was paying off Mike, the guard.
00:26:24I know.
00:26:25You know?
00:26:26Then why didn't you do anything?
00:26:28If I fire her, they'll say I'm protecting my mistress.
00:26:31You need to find the smoking gun.
00:26:33You have to clear your own name.
00:26:34But I failed.
00:26:35They saw me.
00:26:38They saw a hoodle-in in a hoodie.
00:26:40They didn't see Holla Andrews.
00:26:44You're giving me the keys to the castle?
00:26:46I'm giving you a chance to use those talents you hide.
00:26:48You think like an architect.
00:26:51I...
00:26:51I just have opinions.
00:26:53Use them.
00:26:54Find the evidence.
00:26:57Now go.
00:26:58Mike is on his lunch break.
00:27:06Oh my god.
00:27:07I am so, so sorry.
00:27:10Hallie.
00:27:11Are you secretly working for my tailor?
00:27:13Is this a commission scheme?
00:27:15I'll get a napkin.
00:27:17I can fix it.
00:27:19Stop.
00:27:19You're making it worse.
00:27:22Go.
00:27:23Get the footage.
00:27:24Before I bill you for a new wardrobe.
00:27:26Okay.
00:27:26Okay.
00:27:41It's Wendy.
00:27:42She's at my desk.
00:27:43Shoving the sketches in my drawer.
00:27:44Gotcha.
00:27:58He's humming.
00:27:59He sat down.
00:28:00Don't turn around.
00:28:01Please don't turn around.
00:28:04He's putting on headphones.
00:28:06A video game.
00:28:08This is my chance.
00:28:09I have you now, Wendy.
00:28:11Dead to rights.
00:28:19I want her here.
00:28:21I want her to apologize.
00:28:23To me.
00:28:24In front of you.
00:28:27Finley.
00:28:28Send Wendy Quinn up.
00:28:31Tell her it's regarding the Fashion Week roster.
00:28:40Ezra, darling.
00:28:41I'm so glad you called.
00:28:42I have some ideas for the show.
00:28:45Darling.
00:28:46Darling?
00:28:47Ms. Andrum seems to find that term distasteful.
00:28:50It's gross.
00:28:51It's unprofessional.
00:28:53And it's delusional.
00:28:54Who do you think you are?
00:28:56You're just an assistant.
00:29:03Explain.
00:29:05It's...
00:29:06It's not what it looks like.
00:29:07I was just...
00:29:08Returning them.
00:29:09Returning them to the bottom of her personal drawer?
00:29:12Under her gym bag?
00:29:13I was under so much pressure.
00:29:15She's young.
00:29:16She's pretty.
00:29:16Everyone likes her.
00:29:17I was scared.
00:29:18So you framed her.
00:29:20You committed corporate espionage.
00:29:23And fraud.
00:29:25I'm sorry.
00:29:26Ezra, please.
00:29:27Don't apologize to me.
00:29:29Apologize to her.
00:29:31I'm sorry.
00:29:33I can't hear you.
00:29:35I'm sorry.
00:29:36I was jealous.
00:29:38Are you happy?
00:29:41Yes.
00:29:42I am.
00:29:44Finley.
00:29:45Escort Ms. Quinn out.
00:29:46Have legal draft the termination papers.
00:29:48And notify the industry blacklist.
00:29:52Now, let's talk about that face you made.
00:29:55What face?
00:29:56The one when she called me darling.
00:29:59You look like you wanted to vomit when Wendy called me darling.
00:30:02Or kill her.
00:30:04It was tacky.
00:30:06She sounded like she owned you.
00:30:07And that bothers you?
00:30:08Why?
00:30:09Because you're my boss.
00:30:11I'm your fiancé.
00:30:14Fake fiancé.
00:30:16Is it?
00:30:17You defended your territory, Hallie.
00:30:19That was jealousy.
00:30:21I am not jealous.
00:30:25Wendy is gone.
00:30:26Now for the other obstacle.
00:30:28Irvin.
00:30:31I have a plan.
00:30:32I'll handle him.
00:30:34You have three days.
00:30:36I don't like my future wife having a boyfriend.
00:30:39I'm not sharing.
00:30:40I haven't let him touch me in weeks.
00:30:43Good.
00:30:45Keep it that way.
00:30:51Ezra?
00:30:53If I called you darling, would it be gross?
00:30:56If you called me darling, I would probably buy you an island.
00:31:14Finley is outside the store.
00:31:16He'll drive you to dinner.
00:31:19He's always watching.
00:31:21And tonight Irving is going to learn what happens when you lie to the wrong woman.
00:31:29Mr. Gardner is concerned, Hallie.
00:31:32Irving Vinsonin is a snake.
00:31:35Snakes get stepped on when they're cornered, Finley.
00:31:37I'm wearing boots.
00:31:38I'm wearing boots.
00:31:45Holly?
00:31:46Is that you?
00:31:48Hi, babe.
00:31:49You look incredible.
00:31:50I've never seen you dress like this.
00:31:53I felt like celebrating.
00:31:54Bring us your most expensive champagne.
00:31:57Celebrating what?
00:31:58Your big bonus, of course.
00:31:59You are paying, right?
00:32:01Of course.
00:32:02I'll be right back.
00:32:03Restroom.
00:32:06Restroom.
00:32:06Restroom.
00:32:07Restroom.
00:32:08Restroom.
00:32:08Leah?
00:32:10Who is Leah?
00:32:13An image.
00:32:14Look at our little bean.
00:32:18No.
00:32:19It's an ultrasound.
00:32:23Six weeks.
00:32:24Strong heartbeat.
00:32:26Call me.
00:32:27I'm back.
00:32:28What's wrong?
00:32:28You look pale.
00:32:30Just overwhelmed with happiness for us.
00:32:36A toast.
00:32:37To us.
00:32:38To the future.
00:32:39To us.
00:32:41Are you okay?
00:32:42You're quiet.
00:32:45Just thinking.
00:32:47About loyalty.
00:32:49Loyalty's important.
00:32:50That's why we work, right?
00:32:51We're a team.
00:32:52A team.
00:32:54A team.
00:32:57A team.
00:33:06Did you do it?
00:33:10She's pregnant.
00:33:13Leah?
00:33:15I saw the text on his phone.
00:33:19The ultrasound.
00:33:20I will destroy him.
00:33:22I will burn his career to the ground tonight.
00:33:25No.
00:33:26No.
00:33:28Not yet.
00:33:30I need to do it.
00:33:32You're hurting.
00:33:33Let me handle it.
00:33:35I need to be the one to end it.
00:33:39Okay.
00:33:40Go back there.
00:33:42I'll finish it.
00:33:45I'll be right here.
00:33:48I'll be right here.
00:34:03Ready for dessert?
00:34:05No.
00:34:06Check, please.
00:34:08What is wrong with you tonight?
00:34:09Let's go outside.
00:34:12It's over, Irving.
00:34:14What?
00:34:16Don't be dramatic.
00:34:17It's about Leah.
00:34:20It's about the baby.
00:34:23You.
00:34:24How do you know?
00:34:27I saw the message.
00:34:30Congratulations.
00:34:31You're going to be a father.
00:34:33And you're single.
00:34:37You can't just walk away.
00:34:39You're my ticket of fashion week.
00:34:40You owe me.
00:34:42I owe you nothing.
00:34:47Get up.
00:34:48You're making a scene.
00:34:53Touch her again.
00:34:55And you will lose the hand.
00:34:58Mr. Gardner.
00:34:59I.
00:35:00She fell.
00:35:02You are suspended.
00:35:04Security will escort you from the premises.
00:35:07Security escort you from the premises.
00:35:09If you attempt to enter again, I will have you arrested.
00:35:22I'm ruining your car.
00:35:24I'm ruining your suit.
00:35:31You're not ruining anything.
00:35:35You're finally coming home.
00:35:44Turn up the heat.
00:35:45Already done, sir.
00:35:46My dress is ruined.
00:35:48I look like a disaster.
00:35:50You look free.
00:35:52He's gone, Hallie.
00:35:54He can never hurt you again.
00:35:57He.
00:35:58He pushed me.
00:36:00He actually put his hands on me.
00:36:02And he will pay for it.
00:36:05Finley, call security.
00:36:07Revoke Irving's access tonight.
00:36:10Pack his office into boxes and leave them on the curb.
00:36:16Why are we here?
00:36:17This isn't my apartment.
00:36:19You're not going back there tonight.
00:36:20It's not safe.
00:36:21But all my stuff...
00:36:23We'll buy new stuff.
00:36:31I can walk.
00:36:33Indulge me.
00:36:34Shower.
00:36:35Get warm.
00:36:35I'll find you something dry.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:47Bourbon.
00:36:48It's medicinal.
00:36:49What happens now?
00:36:50Now?
00:36:51We go to S Country.
00:36:52We win Fashion Week.
00:36:54We acquire the brand.
00:36:56And the marriage?
00:36:57The marriage stands.
00:36:58But the terms have changed.
00:37:00No more hiding.
00:37:01You are mine, Hallie.
00:37:02In public and in private.
00:37:05Ezra.
00:37:08For catching me.
00:37:09I will always catch you.
00:37:25You're out.
00:37:26Better?
00:37:27Yes.
00:37:28You're drinking?
00:37:29Finley isn't here yet.
00:37:31The rain.
00:37:31The traffic.
00:37:32You shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.
00:37:34You haven't eaten.
00:37:37I'm fine.
00:37:47You're not fine.
00:37:48It's your leg, isn't it?
00:37:49The alcohol is making it worse.
00:37:51The pain.
00:37:52It dulls the edges.
00:37:53You're heavy.
00:37:54Come on.
00:37:55You need to sit down.
00:37:56Or sleep.
00:37:58Bedroom.
00:37:59Finley.
00:38:00Tell him to go home.
00:38:03Ah!
00:38:15Hellie.
00:38:16Ezra.
00:38:17You're in pain.
00:38:18You need to get off.
00:38:20If I move, I might do something I can't take back.
00:38:24Like what?
00:38:25Like never letting you leave this room.
00:38:29Ah!
00:38:31Ezra!
00:38:44Good morning.
00:38:51Did you sleep?
00:38:54Ezra.
00:38:56Stay still.
00:38:58Just for a minute.
00:39:09I-I'm sorry.
00:39:13Hallie?
00:39:14I-I didn't-
00:39:15You were too close.
00:39:17He-he-
00:39:18Irving grabbed me like that.
00:39:20I panicked.
00:39:22You're afraid of me.
00:39:23No!
00:39:24I'm not.
00:39:25I'm just not used to being touched.
00:39:29I am not him.
00:39:31I would never hurt you.
00:39:32I know.
00:39:34But my body doesn't know that yet.
00:39:36Go get changed.
00:39:37Finley will take you to your apartment to get your things.
