Short filmTranscript
00:00:07I 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, not for love, for revenge.
00:00:56Just a weak assistant.
00:01:02They thought I was broken.
00:01:05They had no idea.
00:01:06I was just getting started.
00:01:18I am Chaos.
00:01:21The designer everyone is hunting.
00:01:34I have to get out of here, now.
00:01:47Good morning, Hallie.
00:01:50Mr. Gardner, I, this was a mistake.
00:01:54I need to leave.
00:01:55I need to leave.
00:01:59Wear these.
00:02:02What?
00:02:03Given the events of last night, and my position, we need to discuss the path forward.
00:02:14Marriage.
00:02:19A scandal involving the CEO and a junior assistant be detrimental to the stock price.
00:02:24A sudden marriage can be spun as a whirlwind romance.
00:02:28It solves the PR crisis.
00:02:31I am not marrying you for a stock price.
00:02:34It is a contract.
00:02:35A business arrangement.
00:02:36I have a boyfriend.
00:02:38Irving.
00:02:42The creative director.
00:02:44An obstacle, but hardly an insurmountable one.
00:02:48He didn't answer your calls last night.
00:02:50That doesn't mean anything.
00:02:51Get dressed, Hallie.
00:02:54The car is waiting downstairs.
00:03:10I'm leaving.
00:03:11We are going to pretend this never happened.
00:03:13We will never speak of this again.
00:03:18Hallie, running doesn't solve problems.
00:03:21It solves this one.
00:03:36Miss Andrews, Mr. Gardner instructed me to take you home.
00:03:43I can take the subway.
00:03:45The doorman is watching, Miss Andrews.
00:03:47And the paparazzi.
00:03:48It would be best to get in.
00:03:52Mr. Gardner rarely loses control.
00:03:55You must be unexpected.
00:04:01Mistakes usually don't involve archival Chanel.
00:04:12Stop the car.
00:04:14Mrs. Andrews, we are in the middle of traffic.
00:04:17Please, stop.
00:04:18There's a CVS right there.
00:04:19I need something.
00:04:31Ezra is a man who takes care of his assets.
00:04:50You lied.
00:04:53You lied.
00:05:09Oh my god.
00:05:10You look like death.
00:05:11But listen, they found a woman's ripped dress in Ezra's penthouse suite on Saturday morning.
00:05:16Probably a model he took home from the gala.
00:05:18That's what everyone is saying.
00:05:20They're all trying to guess who.
00:05:24Andrews, this sketch, it's disruptive.
00:05:29I want you taking notes in the 2 p.m. concept meeting.
00:05:33Nothing, sir.
00:05:34I, I, yes, of course.
00:05:50Design department, Holly Andrews.
00:05:52Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Gardner would like to see you in his office.
00:05:57Now.
00:05:59I'm in the middle of preparing for the-
00:06:01Now, Mrs. Andrews.
00:06:12Did you hear about the dress?
00:06:15Everyone's talking about it.
00:06:16Of course.
00:06:17But get this.
00:06:18Ezra Gardner was seen driving a woman out of the garage Saturday morning in the Maybach.
00:06:22Who was she?
00:06:23No idea.
00:06:24But the rumor is she was wearing runway Chanel.
00:06:29Whoever she is, she won't last.
00:06:32Ezra Gardner doesn't do relationships.
00:06:49Is the air conditioning and design malfunctioning?
00:06:52Uh, no, Mr. Gardner.
00:06:53It's quite comfortable.
00:06:55It must be freezing to warrant such heavy wool.
00:06:59I, I run cold.
00:07:00Really?
00:07:02That wasn't my impression.
00:07:05Stay.
00:07:12Your tag is sticking out.
00:07:14Hide it well, Hallie.
00:07:17I don't like sharing what's mine.
00:07:21Into my office.
00:07:22Now.
00:07:40You wanted to see me, Mr. Gardner?
00:07:47It says Hallie Andrews declined your request.
00:07:50Is this how you treat your fiancé?
00:07:55I'm not your fiancé.
00:07:59We are negotiating.
00:08:01And declining a friend request is a poor opening move, Hallie.
00:08:16The prenuptial agreement.
00:08:18Draft one.
00:08:24You can't be serious.
00:08:25The allowance?
00:08:26It's more than my annual salary.
00:08:29I am always serious about my investments.
00:08:32I am not an investment.
00:08:36I want my life back.
00:08:38I want to be invisible again.
00:08:40I notice assets others overlook, Hallie.
00:08:44For instance, your particular interest in Senator Grimes.
00:08:51How do you know about that?
00:08:53I told you.
00:08:54I verify my investments.
00:08:57A ghost.
00:08:58A junior assistant will never get close enough to ask him your questions.
00:09:02Then you think you can help?
00:09:04I don't think.
00:09:05I know.
00:09:08Being Mrs. Ezra Gardner puts you at his table.
00:09:12It forces him to acknowledge you.
00:09:15Why?
00:09:16Why are you doing this for me?
00:09:19Because I always acquire what catches my eye.
00:09:25I need time.
00:09:27Take it.
00:09:29But while you think, check your phone.
00:09:35Accept my friend request.
00:09:42Good.
00:09:43Now go back to work.
00:09:46What?
00:09:49And Hallie?
00:09:50Cancel your dinner plans.
00:09:52I have a date with Irvin.
00:09:56Not anymore.
00:10:05Whoa.
00:10:06You okay?
00:10:07You look...
00:10:08green.
00:10:10Bad sushi.
00:10:11I just threw up everything.
00:10:13Are you sure it's not morning sickness?
00:10:18Definitely not.
00:10:19Just food poisoning.
00:10:26Hello!
00:10:27Look!
00:10:27The all-company email!
00:10:31You're on the S-Country Fashion Week list.
00:10:33My name was at the bottom of the list.
00:10:35This was Ezra's doing.
00:10:36He was manipulating my entire career.
00:10:39I don't care if he's in a board meeting, Finley.
00:10:42He can't just do this to me!
00:10:46He left this for you, Ms. Andrews.
00:10:48This is your chance to prove you are not just a pretty face.
00:10:52Don't waste it.
00:10:58Babe, saw the list.
00:11:00We can turn this into a romantic vacation.
00:11:04A romantic vacation?
00:11:06Now you want to be seen with me?
00:11:09Feeling sick?
00:11:12Liar.
00:11:12Finley left something at the front desk for you.
00:11:15Mr. Butler said this was urgent.
00:11:17Inside the bag was a thermost of ginger soup.
00:11:20He knew.
00:11:21He knew!
00:11:22He knew I took the pill!
00:11:23He thinks he can control me with soup?
00:11:26Make me compliant?
00:11:32I drank just enough to settle my stomach.
00:11:34Then walked to the nearest trash can.
00:11:37Did you clear the security logs from the pharmacy?
00:11:39And the lobby footage.
00:11:41No record of her illness exists.
00:11:44Drive.
00:11:47To us, Hallie.
00:11:48And to your big break.
00:11:55You smell like Chanel No 5.
00:11:57That's Leah's signature scent.
00:11:59I must have walked through her perfume cloud at the office.
00:12:02Now about S country.
00:12:04I'm thinking of heading out a few days early.
00:12:07A few days early?
00:12:08Sounds busy.
00:12:09Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:12Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:24I hope Leah is okay.
00:12:25She just told me she's terribly sick.
00:12:29Oh?
00:12:30That's too bad.
00:12:39Actually, babe, I totally forgot.
00:12:42I have a conference call with the Tokyo team in 30 minutes.
00:12:45I have to cut this short.
00:12:46Of course.
00:12:47Work first.
00:12:51Just wait a second.
00:13:01Leah.
00:13:04Driver.
00:13:05Take me home.
00:13:37Going up?
00:13:38Are you following me?
00:13:40It's my building, Hallie.
00:13:42I'm everywhere.
00:13:48My phone.
00:13:49Where is it?
00:13:51No, no, no.
00:13:52It's shattered.
00:13:53The evidence.
00:13:54I had everything.
00:13:55Forget the phone.
00:13:56Are you injured?
00:13:58I'm fine.
00:13:59But I lost the proof.
00:14:03We're stuck.
00:14:04The emergency button is dead.
00:14:08Are you okay?
00:14:09Your knuckles are white.
00:14:11I'm fine.
00:14:13You're claustrophobic.
00:14:15Don't be ridiculous.
00:14:17You are.
00:14:18You're sweating.
00:14:20Talk to me.
00:14:21Just talk about anything.
00:14:38I've got you.
00:14:39I'm fine.
00:14:40Get off me.
00:14:42You can't even stand.
00:14:44Lean on me.
00:14:45We have to take the stairs.
00:14:48Your leg.
00:14:49What happened?
00:14:50Old injury.
00:14:51A lifetime ago.
00:14:53Ezra, what happened?
00:14:55Get Ms. Andrews a new phone.
00:14:57The latest model.
00:14:58Yes, sir.
00:14:59Restore her cloud data immediately.
00:15:02I don't need...
00:15:03It's a worker's comp issue.
00:15:06Do it.
00:15:25You're still here?
00:15:27Finley is still working.
00:15:29And he said the storm was bad.
00:15:32No Ubers.
00:15:34I'll drive you.
00:15:37You shouldn't be driving.
00:15:38Your leg.
00:15:41I have a driver, Hallie.
00:16:00You were sleeping.
00:16:01We've been parked for 20 minutes.
00:16:03Where are we?
00:16:05Why did we stop?
00:16:07For the sugar cash.
00:16:11You didn't have to do this.
00:16:13I told you, Hallie.
00:16:14I take care of my investments.
00:16:26The contract.
00:16:27Send me the final version.
00:16:30Are you sure?
00:16:32I want access to Grimes.
00:16:34That's my condition.
00:16:42You'll have it.
00:16:43And I want to design.
00:16:46For real.
00:16:47Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:50You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie.
00:16:53I've seen your sketches.
00:16:54Potential.
00:16:55You've seen my sketches?
00:16:57I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:00I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:12It came from the top floor.
00:17:14What is it?
00:17:16It's the first move in my war.
00:17:23Adequate.
00:17:25High praise from you.
00:17:27When you see him, don't look at him like a daughter.
00:17:30Look at him like an equal.
00:17:34I don't know if I can.
00:17:37You can.
00:17:38You have me.
00:17:46Showtime, Mrs. Gardner.
00:17:48Edzra, good to see you.
00:17:50And who is this lovely accessory?
00:17:52Senator, I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
00:17:55Fiancé?
00:17:56You?
00:17:57Yes.
00:17:58This is Hallie.
00:17:59Hallie Andrews.
00:18:01A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:05The pleasure is mine.
00:18:07He didn't even recognize me.
00:18:10Who are you, Exra Gardner?
00:18:12The man who saw your value when everyone else was blind.
00:18:18Kiss me.
00:18:19With pleasure.
00:18:45Andrews, explain this.
00:18:46These are Wendy's sketches.
00:18:47Why are you showing them to me?
00:18:49Don't play dumb.
00:18:51I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:18:53Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:18:57She was playing a trick.
00:18:59And why would I steal this?
00:19:01It's derivative.
00:19:02It's mediocre.
00:19:03Excuse me?
00:19:04You little thief.
00:19:05You're just a glorified coffee girl.
00:19:07You only got here by men.
00:19:08Enough.
00:19:08Hallie, the sketches were in your desk.
00:19:10That's possession of proprietary IP.
00:19:12We have zero tolerance.
00:19:13Check the cameras.
00:19:15There's a camera right above my desk.
00:19:17Oh, didn't you hear?
00:19:18The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:21How convenient.
00:19:23Ms. Andrews, hand over your badge.
00:19:26We need to escort you for an investigative interview.
00:19:28I didn't do it.
00:19:32Holly.
00:19:33This way.
00:19:34Don't touch me.
00:19:38That's what happens when you fly too close to the sun.
00:19:41Sign this.
00:19:42It's standard protocol.
00:19:47Don't sign anything.
00:19:48Mr. Butler, this is an HR matter.
00:19:51Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:19:53And he is not pleased.
00:20:07Report.
00:20:08Ms. Gardner.
00:20:09We found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:13Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:16Evidence.
00:20:18These were the files, sir.
00:20:27You're telling me my special assistant with access to this conglomerate's confidential financials risked her career to steal this?
00:20:34This pedestrian, uninspired garbage?
00:20:38Sir, it's the fall lead piece.
00:20:40It's a poor knockoff of a Balenciade code from five years ago.
00:20:43Where is the security footage?
00:20:45The cameras were down, sir.
00:20:46For maintenance.
00:20:47Maintenance.
00:20:49I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon, and it just happened to go down?
00:20:54Finley, get IT security.
00:20:56I want a forensic audit of the server logs.
00:20:58Pull the physical backup tapes from the basement.
00:21:00If I find out this was a setup, termination will be the least of your worries.
00:21:04I will sue you for corporate sabotage until your great-crazed grandchildren are paying the legal fees.
00:21:12Tear that up.
00:21:17Ms. Andrews returns to her desk.
00:21:19If anyone has a problem with that, they can see me.
00:21:22Personally.
00:21:24Allie.
00:21:26Yes?
00:21:27My office.
00:21:39Bring an appetite.
00:21:40I'm not eating alone.
00:21:55Sit.
00:21:57Eat.
00:22:00You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:07It's for energy.
00:22:08For catching rats.
00:22:11He thinks.
00:22:13Your assistant.
00:22:14He definitely thinks we're sleeping together.
00:22:16He knows we are engaged.
00:22:18It's functionally the same thing in his mind.
00:22:21It's not.
00:22:22This is a business arrangement.
00:22:28Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:30The company account.
00:22:32Why?
00:22:33I want to pay for my share.
00:22:34I am not a kept woman.
00:22:38I have a salary.
00:22:39I have a salary.
00:22:41Hallie.
00:22:42The orange juice costs more than your hourly rate.
00:22:45I don't care.
00:22:46How much?
00:22:48If it makes your fragile ego feel better, $200.
00:22:53For eggs?
00:22:54Are the kick-ins made of gold?
00:22:57It's from Le Couchet. Just eat the eggs, Holly.
00:23:10That covers the eggs in the coffee. I'm not paying for the truffle fries because I didn't ask for them.
00:23:15You are ridiculous.
00:23:17I am independent.
00:23:21I have a rat to catch.
00:23:30Did you see? She just threw money at him.
00:23:33A 20? Is she tipping him? Or paying for... services?
00:23:41Okay, Spill. Did you pay Ezza $20 to kiss you? Or did he pay you to leave?
00:23:48It was for breakfast! We went Dutch!
00:23:52You went Dutch with a billionaire?
00:23:56Holli, you are doing this so wrong.
00:24:13I told you the cameras were wiped.
00:24:15But the Big Boss is pulling the physical tapes.
00:24:17If they find out, I cut the feed.
00:24:19They won't. Just tell them it was a glitch.
00:24:22Here.
00:24:29Who's there?
00:24:50Hide me.
00:24:52Please.
00:24:53Please.
00:25:00Is there a problem?
00:25:03No. No, sir. We just heard a noise.
00:25:07Leave.
00:25:09Gentlemen, go ahead. I'll meet you at the restaurant.
00:25:14Something has... come up.
00:25:20You can come out now, O-Zero-Seven.
00:25:24I... I ripped your shirt.
00:25:28And the button... it rolled away.
00:25:32That was a mother-of-pearl button.
00:25:33Hand-stitched in Milan.
00:25:36I can sew it back on?
00:25:37With what? A stapler?
00:25:43Get in.
00:25:45Before you assault anyone else.
00:25:52I was tracking Wendy.
00:25:54She was paying off Mike, the guard.
00:25:57I know.
00:25:58You know?
00:25:59Then why didn't you do anything?
00:26:01If I fire her, they'll say I'm protecting my mistress.
00:26:04You need to find the smoking gun.
00:26:06You have to clear your own name.
00:26:08But I failed.
00:26:09They saw me.
00:26:11They saw a hoodle-in in a hoodie.
00:26:13They didn't see Hala Andrews.
00:26:17You're giving me the keys to the castle?
00:26:19I'm giving you a chance to use those talents you hide.
00:26:22You think like an architect.
00:26:24I... I just have opinions.
00:26:26Use them.
00:26:27Find the evidence.
00:26:30Now go.
00:26:31Mike is on his lunch break.
00:26:40Oh my god.
00:26:40I am so, so sorry.
00:26:43Hallie.
00:26:44Are you secretly working for my tailor?
00:26:46Is this a commission scheme?
00:26:48I'll get a napkin.
00:26:50I... I... I can fix it.
00:26:52Stop.
00:26:52You're making it worse.
00:26:55Go.
00:26:56Get the footage.
00:26:57Before I bill you for a new wardrobe.
00:26:59Okay. Okay.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:14It's Wendy.
00:27:15She's at my desk.
00:27:16Shoving the sketches in my drawer.
00:27:17Gotcha.
00:27:31He's humming.
00:27:32He sat down.
00:27:33Don't turn around.
00:27:34Please don't turn around.
00:27:37He's putting on headphones.
00:27:39A video game.
00:27:41This is my chance.
00:27:43I have you now, Wendy.
00:27:44Dead to rights.
00:27:52I want her here.
00:27:54I want her to apologize.
00:27:56To me.
00:27:57In front of you.
00:28:00Finley.
00:28:01Send Wendy Quinn up.
00:28:04Tell her it's regarding the Fashion Week roster.
00:28:13Ezra, darling.
00:28:14I'm so glad you called.
00:28:15I have some ideas for the show.
00:28:18Darling.
00:28:19Darling?
00:28:20Ms. Andrum seems to find that term...
00:28:23distasteful.
00:28:23It's gross.
00:28:24It's unprofessional.
00:28:26And it's delusional.
00:28:27Who do you think you are?
00:28:29You're just an assistant.
00:28:34You're just an assistant.
00:28:36Explain.
00:28:38It's...
00:28:39It's not what it looks like.
00:28:40I was just...
00:28:41Returning them.
00:28:42Returning them to the bottom of her personal drawer?
00:28:45Under her gym bag?
00:28:46I was under so much pressure!
00:28:48She's young.
00:28:49She's pretty.
00:28:49Everyone likes her.
00:28:50I was scared!
00:28:51So you framed her.
00:28:54You committed corporate espionage.
00:28:56And fraud.
00:28:58I'm sorry.
00:28:59Ezra, please.
00:29:00Don't apologize to me.
00:29:02Apologize to her.
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:06I can't hear you.
00:29:08I'm sorry!
00:29:09I was jealous!
00:29:11Are you happy?
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15I am.
00:29:17Finley.
00:29:17Escort Ms. Quinn out.
00:29:19Have legal draft the termination papers.
00:29:21And notify the industry blacklist.
00:29:26Now, let's talk about that face you made.
00:29:28What face?
00:29:29The one when she called me darling.
00:29:32You look like you wanted to vomit when Wendy called me darling.
00:29:35Or kill her.
00:29:37It was tacky.
00:29:39She sounded like she owned you.
00:29:40And that bothers you?
00:29:41Why?
00:29:42Because you're my boss.
00:29:44I'm your fiancée.
00:29:48Fake fiancée.
00:29:49Is it?
00:29:50You defended your territory, Hallie.
00:29:52That was jealousy.
00:29:54I am not jealous.
00:29:58Wendy is gone.
00:30:00Now for the other obstacle.
00:30:01Irvin.
00:30:04I have a plan.
00:30:05I'll handle him.
00:30:07You have three days.
00:30:09I don't like my future wife having a boyfriend.
00:30:12I'm not sharing.
00:30:13I haven't let him touch me in weeks.
00:30:17Good.
00:30:18Keep it that way.
00:30:24Ezra?
00:30:26If I called you darling, would it be gross?
00:30:29If you called me darling, I would probably buy you an island.
00:30:47Finley is outside the store.
00:30:49He'll drive you to dinner.
00:30:52He's always watching.
00:30:54And tonight, Irving is going to learn what happens when you lie to the wrong woman.
00:31:02Mr. Gardner is concerned, Hallie.
00:31:05Irving Vinsonin is a snake.
00:31:08Snakes get stepped on when they're cornered, Finley.
00:31:15Hallie?
00:31:16Is that you?
00:31:18Hi, babe.
00:31:19You look incredible.
00:31:21I've never seen you dress like this.
00:31:23I felt like celebrating.
00:31:24Bring us your most expensive champagne.
00:31:27Celebrating what?
00:31:28Your big bonus, of course.
00:31:29You are paying, right?
00:31:30Of course.
00:31:32I'll be right back.
00:31:33Restroom.
00:31:39Leah?
00:31:40Who is Leah?
00:31:43An image.
00:31:44Look at our little bean.
00:31:48No.
00:31:49It's an ultrasound.
00:31:53Six weeks.
00:31:54Strong heartbeat.
00:31:56Call me.
00:31:57I'm back.
00:31:58What's wrong?
00:31:58You look pale.
00:32:00Just overwhelmed with happiness for us.
00:32:06A toast.
00:32:07To us.
00:32:08To the future.
00:32:09To us.
00:32:11Are you okay?
00:32:12You're quiet.
00:32:15Just thinking.
00:32:17About loyalty.
00:32:19Loyalty's important.
00:32:20That's why we work, right?
00:32:21We're a team.
00:32:22A team.
00:32:36Did you do it?
00:32:40She's pregnant.
00:32:43Leah?
00:32:45I saw the text on his phone.
00:32:49The ultrasound.
00:32:50I will destroy him.
00:32:52I will burn his career to the ground tonight.
00:32:55No.
00:32:58Not yet.
00:33:00I need to do it.
00:33:02You're hurting.
00:33:03Let me handle it.
00:33:05I need to be the one to end it.
00:33:09Okay.
00:33:10Go back there.
00:33:12I'll finish it.
00:33:15I'll be right here.
00:33:32I'll be right here.
00:33:33Ready for dessert?
00:33:35No.
00:33:36Check, please.
00:33:38What is wrong with you tonight?
00:33:40Let's go outside.
00:33:42It's over, Irving.
00:33:45What?
00:33:46Don't be dramatic.
00:33:48It's about Leah.
00:33:50It's about the baby.
00:33:53You.
00:33:54How do you know?
00:33:57I saw the message.
00:34:00Congratulations.
00:34:01You're going to be a father.
00:34:03And you're single.
00:34:07You can't just walk away.
00:34:09You're my ticket of fashion week.
00:34:10You owe me.
00:34:12I owe you nothing.
00:34:14Ah!
00:34:17Get up!
00:34:18You're making a scene!
00:34:23Touch her again,
00:34:25and you will lose the hand.
00:34:28Mr. Gardner!
00:34:30I...
00:34:31She fell!
00:34:32You are suspended.
00:34:34Security will escort you from the premises.
00:34:37Security escort you from the premises.
00:34:39If you attempt to enter again,
00:34:41I will have you arrested.
00:34:42Ah!
00:34:43Ah!
00:34:44Ah!
00:34:49I'm ruining your car.
00:34:51I'm ruining your suit.
00:34:58You're not ruining anything.
00:35:03You're finally coming home.
00:35:11Turn up the heat.
00:35:12Already done, sir.
00:35:13My dress is ruined.
00:35:16I look like a disaster.
00:35:18You look free.
00:35:19He's gone, Hallie.
00:35:21He can never hurt you again.
00:35:25He...
00:35:25He pushed me.
00:35:27He actually put his hands on me.
00:35:29And he will pay for it.
00:35:32Finley, call security.
00:35:34Revoke Irving's access tonight.
00:35:38Pack his office into boxes
00:35:39and leave them on the curb.
00:35:43Why are we here?
00:35:44This isn't my apartment.
00:35:46You're not going back there tonight.
00:35:47It's not safe.
00:35:48But all my stuff...
00:35:50We'll buy new stuff.
00:35:58I can walk.
00:36:00Indulge me.
00:36:01Shower.
00:36:02Get warm.
00:36:03I'll find you something dry.
00:36:14Bourbon.
00:36:15It's medicinal.
00:36:16What happens now?
00:36:18Now?
00:36:18We go to S-Country.
00:36:19We win Fashion Week.
00:36:21We acquire the brand.
00:36:23And the marriage?
00:36:24The marriage stands.
00:36:25But the terms have changed.
00:36:27No more hiding.
00:36:28You are mine, Hallie.
00:36:29In public and in private.
00:36:32Ezra.
00:36:35For catching me.
00:36:37I will always catch you.
00:36:52You're out.
00:36:53Better?
00:36:54Yes.
00:36:55You're drinking?
00:36:56Finley isn't here yet.
00:36:58The rain.
00:36:58The traffic.
00:36:59You shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.
00:37:02You haven't eaten.
00:37:04I'm fine.
00:37:14You're not fine.
00:37:15It's your leg, isn't it?
00:37:16The alcohol is making it worse.
00:37:18The pain.
00:37:19It dulls the edges.
00:37:20You're heavy.
00:37:21Come on.
00:37:22You need to sit down.
00:37:24Or sleep.
00:37:25Bedroom.
00:37:26Finley.
00:37:27Tell him to go home.
00:37:42Allie.
00:37:43Ezra.
00:37:45You're in pain.
00:37:45You need to get off.
00:37:47If I move, I might do something I can't take back.
00:37:51Like what?
00:37:52Like never letting you leave this room.
00:38:08Good morning.
00:38:14Did you sleep?
00:38:18Ezra.
00:38:20Stay still.
00:38:22Just for a minute.
00:38:34I'm sorry.
00:38:37Allie?
00:38:38I didn't.
00:38:39You were too close.
00:38:41He.
00:38:41He.
00:38:42Irving grabbed me like that.
00:38:44I panicked.
00:38:46You're afraid of me.
00:38:48No.
00:38:49I'm not.
00:38:49I'm just not used to being touched.
00:38:53I am not him.
00:38:55I would never hurt you.
00:38:56I know.
00:38:58But my body doesn't know that yet.
00:39:00Go get changed.
00:39:01Finley will take you to your apartment to get your things.
00:39:04I have a meeting.
00:39:06I have a meeting.
00:39:31We're closed for lunch, and we don't do alterations on polyester.
00:39:37It's not polyester.
00:39:39It's Italian silk.
00:39:42And I'm not asking for an alteration.
00:39:44I'm asking for a resurrection.
00:39:46Resurrection.
00:39:52This is my work.
00:39:55Where did you get this?
00:39:56It belongs to someone I care about.
00:39:59I damaged it.
00:40:00I need to fix it.
00:40:02The button.
00:40:03Do you have it?
00:40:04Do you have it?
00:40:06It's Mother of Pearl.
00:40:07Vintage.
00:40:09No, I lost it.
00:40:11But the tear.
00:40:12It doesn't have to be invisible.
00:40:14The man who wears this isn't perfect.
00:40:17What if the mend was visible?
00:40:20A detail that shows history.
00:40:23The man.
00:40:23The owner.
00:40:25He's impatient.
00:40:28Very impatient.
00:40:29I'm Silas.
00:40:31I'll fix it.
00:40:32But you'll help me select the thread.
00:40:46You tell your friend he owes me a bottle of scotch for this
00:40:49and tell him not to ruin this one.
00:40:53Ruin the shirt?
00:40:55Sure.
00:40:56The shirt.
00:40:57It'll be ready Saturday.
00:40:59Pick it up at my workshop.
00:41:00It's on Long Island.
00:41:10Ezra.
00:41:12Grandfather?
00:41:14Is everything okay?
00:41:15Better than okay.
00:41:17The girl, Holly.
00:41:18She brought your shirt in.
00:41:20She has a fire in her.
00:41:22I like her.
00:41:23She found you.
00:41:25Of course she did.
00:41:27She thinks my name is a coincidence.
00:41:29Keep it that way.
00:41:31I want her at the birthday gale on Saturday.
00:41:33She thinks she's just picking up laundry.
00:41:39Grandpa, that's entrapment.
00:41:42Call it a stress test.
00:41:44It can handle you.
00:41:54Good riddice.
00:41:57Good riddice.
00:42:10Did you tell her?
00:42:12Not yet.
00:42:13I have to play this dinner right.
00:42:15She's suspicious.
00:42:19Just dump her, Irving.
00:42:20I'm pregnant.
00:42:21You promised.
00:42:23I know.
00:42:23But she's close to Gartner now.
00:42:26If I play the supportive boyfriend, I get into the S-Country delegation.
00:42:30Once I have the contacts, I drop her.
00:42:33Simple.
00:42:33She's so pathetic.
00:42:35She actually thinks you love her?
00:42:38She's useful concepts for my pitch.
00:42:42Once I have the files, she's history.
00:42:46She's history.
00:42:52He called me pathetic.
00:42:56He called me useful.
00:43:01A private fight is too small for a public humiliation.
00:43:06The reckoning will be public.
00:43:16No.
00:43:16Not his tower.
00:43:18Not his help.
00:43:19I'll pay my own way.
00:43:34Reservation for Andrews.
00:43:37Miss?
00:43:38Are you okay?
00:43:40Just...
00:43:42Tired.
00:43:49Miss!
00:43:58Hallie?
00:43:59Ezra.
00:44:01Help.
00:44:02Where are you?
00:44:06Standard.
00:44:07Lobby.
00:44:09Don't move.
00:44:11I'm three minutes away.
00:44:19Hallie.
00:44:19Talk to me.
00:44:22Stomach.
00:44:23Knives.
00:44:26My car is out front to Mount Sinai.
00:44:29Go!
00:44:31Clear the room.
00:44:32I'll take this.
00:44:33I'm Dr. Gardner Solon.
00:44:35Ezra's aunt.
00:44:36And you must be the girl who made him run a red line.
00:44:39It's acute gastritis.
00:44:40Stress induced.
00:44:41We're going to stop the pain.
00:44:48You're awake.
00:44:49You're awake.
00:44:49You're awake.
00:44:50But you tried your best to give me a heart attack.
00:44:53I'm sorry.
00:44:54I didn't mean to call you.
00:44:59It was an accident.
00:45:01Who else would you call?
00:45:069-1-1?
00:45:08I'm faster than 9-1-1.
00:45:11She's stable.
00:45:13You're staying overnight.
00:45:16I can't afford a private room.
00:45:19It's covered.
00:45:22Employee benefits.
00:45:24Go to sleep, Hallie.
00:45:29I'm not leaving.
00:45:33Exa, you didn't have to come.
00:45:37Yes, I did.
00:45:41Why do I get poached salmon while you're eating cardboard?
00:45:46You have a delicate stomach.
00:45:48I have one of steel.
00:45:51I'm Venmoing you for this.
00:46:01You want me to buy you dinner?
00:46:03You own the restaurant.
00:46:09I want a home-cooked meal.
00:46:11I can cook.
00:46:16Prove it.
00:46:19Where is the invalid?
00:46:22We had to see the woman who finally made Ezra guard.
00:46:25Leave a board meeting.
00:46:28Get out.
00:46:30Hi.
00:46:32I'm Luke.
00:46:33Ezra talks about you.
00:46:35A lot.
00:46:36He talks about me?
00:46:39I mentioned my assistant.
00:46:41Once.
00:46:42Once?
00:46:43You almost bought out her coffee shop because they kept messing up her latte.
00:46:51You did what?
00:46:57Out!
00:46:58She needs to rest.
00:47:04Did you really threaten to buy my coffee shop?
00:47:09It was a strategic assessment of real estate value.
00:47:13You're a terrible liar, Axel.
00:47:16I'm a very good liar.
00:47:20But with you, it's becoming difficult.
00:47:24Why?
00:47:26Because you see too much.
00:47:37Vitals check.
00:47:45What the?
00:47:47It's just gone.
00:47:49Don't go in.
00:47:51The place smells like a sewer.
00:47:54Irvin did this.
00:47:56No.
00:47:58The landlord.
00:47:59See the paper stapled to the wall?
00:48:01Eviction notice.
00:48:02Never told me.
00:48:03He just took the door?
00:48:04But my boxes.
00:48:06My clothes.
00:48:07Leave them.
00:48:07Everything in there is contaminated.
00:48:09It's not safe.
00:48:10I can't just leave everything I own.
00:48:13Hallie, look at me.
00:48:14It's stuff.
00:48:16We can replace stuff.
00:48:18I can't replace you if some junkie attacks you in there.
00:48:21Where do I go?
00:48:22I have nowhere.
00:48:25You come with me.
00:48:26The penthouse.
00:48:28No.
00:48:29I can't live with you.
00:48:30It crosses a line.
00:48:32The line was crossed when I carried you out of a hotel lobby bleeding.
00:48:36I need my own space.
00:48:37I need to pay for it myself.
00:48:39Fine.
00:48:40The Gartner Tower has corporate suites.
00:48:4340th floor.
00:48:44Secure.
00:48:44Private.
00:48:45How much?
00:48:47Employee rate.
00:48:49$50 a night.
00:48:52$50?
00:48:53For a Manhattan suite, you're lying.
00:48:56Do you want the room or the street?
00:49:04It has a door.
00:49:13What are you doing?
00:49:15Checking for bugs, cameras, listening devices.
00:49:18You're paranoid.
00:49:20I'm careful.
00:49:22I'm in the penthouse, 10 floors up.
00:49:25Private elevator code is 0815.
00:49:28Use it if you need anything.
00:49:300815?
00:49:31Is that a date?
00:49:32It's the SEC filing date for our last major acquisition.
00:49:35Get some sleep.
00:49:37Lock the door.
00:49:45You wanted him so badly, Leah.
00:49:48You stole him.
00:49:49You lied for him.
00:49:52So thank you for taking out my trash.
00:49:57She's so pathetic.
00:49:58I just need her to sketch the concepts.
00:50:00Once I have the files, she's history.
00:50:03She actually thinks you love her.
00:50:05God, remember that scarf?
00:50:06Love?
00:50:07Please.
00:50:08I'm doing this for your uncle's trust fund.
00:50:10Once we're married and the baby secures my stake,
00:50:13I can finally stop pretending to care.
00:50:16You son of a bitch!
00:50:18No!
00:50:19Uncle Ray, stop!
00:50:20He didn't mean it!
00:50:22Get off me!
00:50:23I'll sue you!
00:50:25I'll...
00:50:33Allie?
00:50:34I did it.
00:50:36I blew it up.
00:50:38Irving confessed to fraud on tape.
00:50:41The police were arriving.
00:50:43Good.
00:50:44So why do you look like you lost?
00:50:46Because it doesn't change anything.
00:50:48I'm still the girl who was fooled for three years.
00:50:51You're the girl who fought back.
00:50:53Most people would have cried.
00:50:55You burned his world down.
00:50:59Welcome to the club.
00:51:03I just got a text.
00:51:04My repair is ready for pickup in Southampton.
00:51:08Southampton?
00:51:09I have a house out there.
00:51:13I'm heading out tomorrow morning.
00:51:14I can give you a lift.
00:51:16Really?
00:51:18That would be great.
00:51:20Or to meet your night-night.
00:51:23It's on the way.
00:51:24Go to bed, Allie.
00:51:28We leave at nine.
00:51:37Is there a party?
00:51:38It appears to be a formal event.
00:51:40You can't go in wearing that.
00:51:48Put this on.
00:51:49The back seat is private.
00:51:52What?
00:51:53No.
00:51:53I'm not crashing a party.
00:51:55My grandfather would be insulted if you didn't stay.
00:51:58You will be respected.
00:52:00Change.
00:52:01Change.
00:52:11Allie!
00:52:13You came!
00:52:15Silas?
00:52:20Grandfather.
00:52:23Grandfather?
00:52:24Father.
00:52:25Come in.
00:52:26Come in.
00:52:26Everyone is dying to meet you.
00:52:29Lythra.
00:52:30What is going on?
00:52:31You said he was a tailor.
00:52:33He is.
00:52:34He just happens to own the company too.
00:52:37And this is his 80th birthday gala.
00:52:39I am going to kill you.
00:52:43Smile.
00:52:43If you run now, you humiliate him and me.
00:52:59Ezra, you brought a date?
00:53:03Camilla, meet Hala.
00:53:14My fiancée.
00:53:19You deliberately paraded me in front of her?
00:53:24You used our arrangement to provoke your ex-girlfriend without a single warning?
00:53:31I was establishing your position.
00:53:33As my fiancée, you need to get used to swatting away flies like Camilla.
00:53:37She looked at me like I was something she'd scrape off her shoe.
00:53:40She's dangerous, Axel.
00:53:42I know.
00:53:43She's also vindictive.
00:53:44If she thinks you're just an employee, she'll destroy you for sport.
00:53:47If she believes this is real, she has to hesitate.
00:53:49You have no idea who she is to me.
00:53:52What that family represents.
00:53:54I know you've been investigating Senator Grimes.
00:53:56My security team flagged your deep dives into his financials.
00:54:01You've been watching me?
00:54:02Svother, I've been protecting my assets.
00:54:06You are one of them.
00:54:08That man's corruption cost my family everything.
00:54:12That's all you need to know.
00:54:13Then you need this protection even more.
00:54:16I didn't sign up to be a weapon in your personal vendas!
00:54:20Irving has poisoned your reputation.
00:54:22He's telling everyone you stole designs.
00:54:25Even with him gone, the rumors will stick.
00:54:28But as Hallie Gardner, you become untouchable.
00:54:32And what do you get?
00:54:34My grandfather off my back.
00:54:36And as my wife, you'll have the power to face the senator directly.
00:54:40So it's a transaction?
00:54:41It's an escalation of our contract.
00:54:45One year, we live together, we play the part.
00:54:49You get access, protection, and resources.
00:54:53I get stability.
00:54:54And the physical terms?
00:55:00No forced intimacy.
00:55:03Unless you want it.
00:55:05Cake time!
00:55:07Come on, lovebirds!
00:55:08Come on, lovebirds!
00:55:15Okay.
00:55:18Okay.
00:55:19Let's go cut a cake, darling.
00:55:24One year.
00:55:28I have no intention of letting you go in a year.
00:55:31I'm playing the long game.
00:55:35Stop the car.
00:55:36We're 40 minutes from the city, Hallie.
00:55:38Go back to sleep.
00:55:39I said, stop the car.
00:55:43No.
00:55:47Put that back on.
00:55:48You manipulated me.
00:55:50You paraded me around like a trophy just to scare off your ex-girlfriend.
00:55:54I gave you a shield.
00:55:55As my fiancée, Camilla can't touch you.
00:55:58I don't want a shield that comes with a leash!
00:56:00You didn't ask me!
00:56:01Because you were drowning.
00:56:03And I don't let my investments drown.
00:56:05An investment?
00:56:06Is that what I am?
00:56:08Pull over, Exra.
00:56:09Or I swear to God, I will open this door right now!
00:56:12Stop!
00:56:15You are reckless.
00:56:18I am free.
00:56:27Get back in the car, Hallie.
00:56:29No.
00:56:30I'm not going back to your tower.
00:56:32I'm not going back to your rules.
00:56:34And where are you going to go?
00:56:35It's 2am.
00:56:36You're in a ball gown on the expressway.
00:56:39I'll figure it out.
00:56:41I'm calling an Uber.
00:56:42Fine.
00:56:43You want independence?
00:56:45Have it.
00:56:56No cars available?
00:56:57No.
00:56:58No.
00:56:58No.
00:56:59No.
00:56:59No.
00:57:01Pick up the phone, Hallie.
00:57:03Just call a car.
00:57:04I hate you.
00:57:06You are an arrogant, controlling jerk!
00:57:08Message not delivered?
00:57:10No service?
00:57:11Fine.
00:57:12I don't need you either.
00:57:18Hey, you haven't eaten.
00:57:20I got you a tuna melt.
00:57:36No.
00:57:37Please, no.
00:57:45Well, well, well.
00:57:47What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:57:49Go away, Leah.
00:57:50I'm here for my prenatal checkup.
00:57:52Irving and I need to look like a perfect, happy family.
00:57:57What are you hiding?
00:58:00Nothing.
00:58:03Hey!
00:58:04Give that back!
00:58:06Oh, my God.
00:58:08A pregnancy test?
00:58:10You?
00:58:11Give it back.
00:58:14Who's the daddy, Hallie?
00:58:16Is it Irvin?
00:58:18Or that billionaire you're trying to scam?
00:58:20Shut up!
00:58:21You don't know what you're talking about!
00:58:23I know exactly what you are.
00:58:24A desperate little climber.
00:58:26Irving told me everything.
00:58:28Leah, stop.
00:58:29Or what?
00:58:30You'll cry?
00:58:32Like your mother cried when your dad left her?
00:58:40What did you say?
00:58:41Irving told me about your mommy issues.
00:58:44About how your mother was some groupie who couldn't keep her legs shut.
00:58:52You bitch!
00:58:54My baby!
00:58:55She pushed me!
00:58:56Help!
00:58:57She's trying to kill my baby!
00:59:02That girl just shoved a pregnant woman!
00:59:04Call security!
00:59:05I didn't...
00:59:06You are insane.
00:59:11You're done.
00:59:12I'm going to sue you for everything.
00:59:15I'll make sure Ezra knows you're a violent psycho who attacks pregnant women.
00:59:19I'm going to sue you for the next time.
00:59:20I'm going to sue you for the next time.
00:59:30Huh!
00:59:35Know your place.
00:59:36Trash.
00:59:46I wouldn't do that.
00:59:47Let go of me! Who do you think you are?
00:59:54Mr. Gardner?
00:59:56Hallie, are you hurt?
01:00:01She stepped on you.
01:00:04I'm fine.
01:00:07She started it! She pushed me! I'm pregnant!
01:00:12Finley.
01:00:14Sir, I have the security footage.
01:00:17It shows Ms. Vance initiating the conferencing, stealing medical documents, and assaulting Andrews with a weapon.
01:00:23Weapon? It was a shoe!
01:00:26Assault with a deadly weapon.
01:00:28And since you're claiming pregnancy, we'll add child endangerment.
01:00:34No police. Please.
01:00:36Oh, the police are the least of your problems.
01:00:39Vance Imports. That's your father's company, correct?
01:00:42Yes.
01:00:43They have a bridge loan with my company.
01:00:45I just instructed my CFO to call it in. Tonight.
01:00:48You can't. That will bankrupt us.
01:00:51You should have thought of that before you touched my fiancé.
01:00:56Let's go, Hallie.
01:00:58I can't.
01:00:59Why were you here?
01:01:01Were you following me?
01:01:03Yes.
01:01:04I was worried.
01:01:06You disappeared. You haven't answered my calls.
01:01:08Because you blocked me!
01:01:11You left me on the highway and then you cut me off!
01:01:16Blocked you?
01:01:17I never blocked you. Look.
01:01:31Hallie, get in the car. Let me take you home.
01:01:34No.
01:01:36I can't do this.
01:01:37The tracking, the fighting.
01:01:39I just need to be alone.
01:01:43Hallie.
01:01:43I'm leaving.
01:01:45I'm leaving.
01:01:52Fiancé, he said he didn't block me.
01:01:57Hallie, I know you're in there.
01:02:01Go away!
01:02:02I'm calling the police!
01:02:05I'm calling the police!
01:02:16You think you're better than me?
01:02:19Get away from me!
01:02:21You're going to pay for what you did!
01:02:23Let's see if he still wants you after I'm done with you.
01:02:28Ezra! Ezra! Help!
01:02:37You're dead!
01:02:39No! Let me go!
01:02:42I'm going to make you pay for that!
01:02:52Somebody help me!
01:02:56What?
01:03:11Ezra, stop!
01:03:13You're going to kill him!
01:03:16Please stop!
01:03:17You're scaring me!
01:03:21Ezra, look at me!
01:03:23Look at me!
01:03:33Did he...
01:03:34Did he touch you?
01:03:39No!
01:03:40You came!
01:03:42You came for me!
01:03:44The S.O.S. came through.
01:03:45Just a location.
01:03:49When I heard you scream...
01:03:54I thought I was too late.
01:04:02Clear the area.
01:04:03Secure the perimeter.
01:04:05Police are two minutes out.
01:04:08Get them out of my way.
01:04:10Ezra, she needs a medic.
01:04:14She needs me.
01:04:17We're leaving.
01:04:18We're leaving.
01:04:33Ezra, this needs stitches.
01:04:37Okay.
01:04:39It's fine.
01:04:41It's not fine!
01:04:43None of this is fine, Hallie!
01:04:46You almost died tonight!
01:04:47Because you're stubborn!
01:04:49Because you think you have to prove something!
01:04:52I just wanted to be independent.
01:04:55Independence is useless if you're dead.
01:04:59Listen to me.
01:05:01No more games.
01:05:04No more running away.
01:05:07Okay.
01:05:08You are moving in with me.
01:05:09Tonight.
01:05:11Permanently.
01:05:21I'm not asking, Hallie.
01:05:23I can't function knowing you're out there unprotected.
01:05:26I can't breathe.
01:05:31Okay.
01:05:32Say it again.
01:05:33Say it again.
01:05:34I'll move in.
01:05:54Finley.
01:05:56Take us home.
01:06:09I need to check your ribs.
01:06:11He sat on you.
01:06:13I know.
01:06:18Does this hurt?
01:06:21A little.
01:06:22Bruised, but not broken.
01:06:24Here.
01:06:38Where are you going?
01:06:39Don't leave.
01:06:41I'll take the couch.
01:06:43I won't be far.
01:06:44No.
01:06:45Stay.
01:06:46Please.
01:06:47I don't want to be alone.
01:06:51Hallie.
01:06:59Come here.
01:07:02Ezra?
01:07:03How did you know where I was before I called you?
01:07:07I put a tracker in your purse.
01:07:10You what?
01:07:11Before you get angry.
01:07:12I did it after Irving pushed you in the rain.
01:07:18I knew he was unstable.
01:07:23A tracker?
01:07:25Hallie?
01:07:26I'm not angry.
01:07:28I'm thinking about his hands on my throat and how you broke down the door.
01:07:35You're not?
01:07:37No.
01:07:43I will always find you, Hallie.
01:07:46Always.
01:07:52You tore the scar tissue again.
01:07:54Dr. Slolar is going to kill you.
01:07:59It was worth it.
01:08:03Six flights, Ezra.
01:08:05You ran up six flights of stairs.
01:08:08Six flights?
01:08:09You ran?
01:08:13Hallie.
01:08:14Good morning.
01:08:16Good morning.
01:08:19Why would you do that to your leg?
01:08:21There was no time to wait for the fire department.
01:08:26I couldn't wait for you.
01:08:28You idiot.
01:08:30I've been cold worse.
01:08:39I was going to do this properly.
01:08:41With candles and music.
01:08:43But I think we're past that.
01:08:45Hallie, marry me.
01:08:47For real.
01:08:48Not for a year.
01:08:49Not for protection.
01:08:50Marry me because last night, the thought of my life without you, it was unbearable.
01:08:56Is this because I might be pregnant?
01:09:02You might be pregnant?
01:09:04I missed my period.
01:09:06I was at the clinic to get tested when Leah attacked.
01:09:09I never got the results.
01:09:13It doesn't matter.
01:09:15Pregnant or not, I want you.
01:09:19I'm going to go.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:27Finley.
01:09:28Get the car.
01:09:29We're going to the hospital first.
01:09:31Then City Hall.
01:09:32I'm going to go.
