In the witty and romantic workplace drama "Boss By Day, Hubby By Night," Chloe is a hardworking assistant at a top-tier firm, constantly dodging the demands of her notoriously "Ice King" CEO, Sebastian. But behind the glass walls of the office lies a shocking secret: Chloe and Sebastian are actually in a contractual "flash marriage" to satisfy their meddling families. While Sebastian is a ruthless, cold-hearted boss during the 9-to-5, he transforms into a surprisingly attentive—and possessive—husband once they step through their front door. Navigating the treacherous waters of office gossip, jealous rivals, and the "no-dating" company policy, the two must decide if their nighttime chemistry is enough to melt the daytime ice for good.

Short filmTranscript
00:00:07I woke up in a stranger's bed, but the stranger was my boss.
00:00:23Marry 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.
00:00:57Just a weak assistant.
00:01:03They thought I was broken. They had no idea. I was just getting started.
00:01:18I am Chaos. The designer everyone is hunting.
00:01:37I have to get out of here. Now.
00:01:50Good morning, Hallie.
00:01:53Mr. Gardner, I... this was a mistake. I need to leave.
00:02:02Where are these?
00:02:05What?
00:02:07Given the events of last night, and my position, we need to discuss the path forward.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:20Excuse me? Are you insane?
00:02:23A scandal involving the CEO and a junior assistant be detrimental to the stock price.
00:02:28A sudden marriage can be spun as a whirlwind romance.
00:02:31It solves the PR crisis.
00:02:34I am not marrying you for a stock price.
00:02:37It is a contract. A business arrangement.
00:02:40I have a boyfriend.
00:02:41Irving.
00:02:45A creative director. An obstacle, but hardly an insurmountable one.
00:02:51He didn't answer your calls last night.
00:02:53That doesn't mean anything!
00:02:54Get dressed, Hallie. The car is waiting downstairs.
00:03:13I'm leaving. We are gonna pretend this never happened.
00:03:16We will never speak of this again!
00:03:21Hallie, running doesn't solve problems.
00:03:24It solves this one.
00:03:39Miss Andrews. Mr. Gardner instructed me to take you home.
00:03:46I can take the subway.
00:03:48The doorman is watching, Miss Andrews. And the paparazzi. It would be best to get in.
00:03:56Mr. Gardner rarely loses control. You must be... unexpected.
00:03:59Mr. Gardner rarely loses control. You 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! There's a CVS right there! I need something!
00:04:23No, no!
00:04:34Ezra is a man who takes care of his assets.
00:04:41No, no!
00:04:46No!
00:04:47No!
00:04:48No!
00:04:48No!
00:04:50No!
00:04:50No!
00:04:54He lied.
00:05:05Mine.
00:05:12Oh my god, you look like a death.
00:05:14But listen, they found a woman's ripped dress in Ezra's penthouse suit on a Saturday morning.
00:05:19Probably 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. I, I, yes, of course.
00:05:41Oh.
00:05:53Design department, Holly Andrews.
00:05:56Mrs. Andrews. Mr. Gardner would like to see you in his office. Now.
00:06:02I'm in the middle of preparing for the...
00:06:04Now, Mrs. Andrews.
00:06:15Did you hear about the deaths?
00:06:18Everyone'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.
00:06:35Ezra Gardner doesn't do relationships.
00:06:52Is the air conditioning and design malfunctioning?
00:06:55Uh, no, Mr. Gardner. It's quite comfortable.
00:06:58It must be freezing to warrant such heavy wool.
00:07:02I, I run cold.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:05That wasn't my impression.
00:07:08Stay.
00:07:15Your tag is sticking out.
00:07:17Hide it well, Hallie.
00:07:20I don't like sharing what's mine.
00:07:24Into my office.
00:07:25Now.
00:07:44You wanted to see me, Mr. Gardner?
00:07:51It 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.
00:08:35I 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,
00:08:48your 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.
00:09:12I 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?
00:09:25Because I always acquire what catches my eye.
00:09:31I need time.
00:09:33Take it.
00:09:35But while you think,
00:09:37check your phone.
00:09:41Accept my friend request.
00:09:49Good, now go back to work.
00:09:53What?
00:09:55And Hallie?
00:09:56Cancel your dinner plans.
00:09:58I have a date with Irvin.
00:10:02Not anymore.
00:10:11Whoa.
00:10:12You okay?
00:10:13You look...
00:10:14Green.
00:10:16Bad sushi.
00:10:18I just threw up everything.
00:10:19Are you sure it's not?
00:10:21Morning sickness.
00:10:25Definitely not.
00:10:26Just food poisoning.
00:10:32Hala!
00:10:33Look!
00:10:34The 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.
00:11:00Babe!
00:11:00I'm sorry.
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:03I'm sorry.
00:11:03I'm sorry.
00:11:03I'm sorry.
00:11:04Babe!
00:11:05Saw 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.
00:11:19Finley 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.
00:11:28He knew I took the pill.
00:11:30He thinks he can control me with soup?
00:11:32Make me compliant?
00:11:38I drank just enough to settle my stomach, then walked to the nearest trash can.
00:11:43Did you clear the security logs from the pharmacy?
00:11:46And the lobby footage.
00:11:47No record of her illness exists.
00:11:50Drive.
00:11:53To us, Hallie, and 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.
00:12:16Excuse 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.
00:13:07Leah.
00:13:10Driver.
00:13:11Take me home.
00:13:17All right.
00:13:29I have to cut it.
00:13:30I have to cut it.
00:13:42She looks free.
00:13:42Bye.
00:13:43Going up?
00:13:44Are you following me?
00:13:47It's my building, Hallie.
00:13:48I'm everywhere.
00:13:55My phone.
00:13:56Where is it?
00:13:57No, no, no.
00:13:58It's shattered.
00:13:59The evidence.
00:14:00I had everything.
00:14:02Forget the phone.
00:14:03Are you injured?
00:14:04I'm fine.
00:14:05But I lost the proof.
00:14:09We'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.
00:14:19You're claustrophobic.
00:14:22Don't be ridiculous.
00:14:23You are.
00:14:24You're sweating.
00:14:26Talk to me.
00:14:28Just talk about anything.
00:14:44I've got you.
00:14:45I'm fine.
00:14:46Get off me.
00:14:49You 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.
00:15:05Restore her cloud data immediately.
00:15:07I don't need.
00:15:09It's a worker's comp issue.
00:15:12Do it.
00:15:14Do it.
00:15:31You're still here?
00:15:33Finley is still working, and he said the storm was bad.
00:15:38No Ubers.
00:15:40I'll drive you.
00:15:43You shouldn't be driving.
00:15:44Your leg.
00:15:47I have a driver, Hallie.
00:16:06You were sleeping.
00:16:07We've been parked for 20 minutes.
00:16:10Where are we?
00:16:11Why did we stop?
00:16:13For the sugar cache.
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.
00:16:34Send me the final version.
00:16:36Are you sure?
00:16:38I want access to Grimes.
00:16:41That's my condition.
00:16:48You'll have it.
00:16:49And I want to design.
00:16:52For real.
00:16:53Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:56You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie.
00:16:58I've seen your sketches.
00:17:01I've seen your sketches.
00:17:03You have potential.
00:17:04You've seen my sketches?
00:17:06I'll see you tomorrow, fiance.
00:17:21It came from the top floor.
00:17:23It came from the top floor.
00:17:23What is it?
00:17:26It's the first move in my war.
00:17:32Adequate.
00:17:35High 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.
00:17:58Good to see you.
00:17:59And who is this lovely accessory?
00:18:01Senator.
00:18:02I'd like you to meet my fiance.
00:18:04Fiance?
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.
00:18:17He 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.
00:19:09Andrews, explain this.
00:19:10These are Wendy's sketches.
00:19:12Why are you showing them to me?
00:19:13Don't play dumb.
00:19:15I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:19:18Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:19:22She was playing a trick.
00:19:23And why would I steal this?
00:19:25It'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.
00:19:32Enough.
00:19:33Hallie, 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.
00:19:42Didn't you hear?
00:19:42The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:46How 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.
00:19:56Holly.
00:19:57I didn't do it.
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.
00:20:16Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:20:18And he is not pleased.
00:20:31Report.
00:20:32Ms. Gardner.
00:20:33We found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:37Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:40Evidence.
00:20:43These were the files, sir.
00:20:51You're telling me my special assistant with access to this conglomerate's confidential financials 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 coat 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.
00:21:13I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon.
00:21:17And it just happened to go down?
00:21:18Finley.
00:21:19Get IT security.
00:21:20I want a forensic audit of the server logs.
00:21:22Pull the physical backup tapes from the basement.
00:21:24If I find out this was a SETA, 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.
00:21:49Allie.
00:21:51Yes?
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.
00:22:23Sit.
00:22:24Eat.
00:22:27You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:34It's for energy.
00:22:36We're 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.
00:22:56Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:57The company account.
00:22:59Why?
00:23:00I want to pay for my share.
00:23:02I am not a kept woman.
00:23:05I have a salary.
00:23:08Hallie, the 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, $200.
00:23:20For eggs?
00:23:22Are 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.
00:23:42You are ridiculous.
00:23:44I am independent.
00:23:48I have a rat to catch.
00:23:57Did you see?
00:23:58She just threw money at him.
00:24:00A 20?
00:24:01Is she tipping him?
00:24:02Or paying for...
00:24:05services?
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:09Spill.
00:24:10Did you pay Ezza $20 to kiss you?
00:24:12Or did he pay you to leave?
00:24:15It was for breakfast.
00:24:17We went Dutch.
00:24:20You went Dutch with a billionaire?
00:24:23Hallie, you are doing this so wrong.
00:24:40I 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.
00:24:50Here.
00:24:51Here.
00:24:57Who's there?
00:25:18Hide me.

00:45:04Hallie, talk to me.
00:45:07Stomach
00:45:08knives.
00:45:12My car is out front to Mount Sinai.
00:45:14Go!
00:45:17Clear the room.
00:45:18I'll take this.
00:45:19I'm Dr. Gardner Solon, Ezra's aunt.
00:45:21And you must be the girl who made him run a red line.
00:45:24It's acute gastritis.
00:45:26Stress induced, we're gonna stop the pain.
00:45:33You're awake.
00:45:35Did I die?
00:45:36No.
00:45:38But you tried your best to give me a heart attack.
00:45:41I'm sorry.
00:45:43I didn't mean to call you.
00:45:46It was an accident.
00:45:49Who else would you call?
00:45:54911?
00:45:559-1-1?
00:45:57I'm faster than 9-1-1.
00:45:59She's stable.
00:46:01You're staying overnight.
00:46:05I can't afford a private room.
00:46:07It's covered.
00:46:10Employee benefits.
00:46:12Go to sleep, Hallie.
00:46:17I'm not leaving.
00:46:21Exa, you didn't have to come.
00:46:24Yes.
00:46:26I did.
00:46:30Why do I get poached salmon while you're eating cardboard?
00:46:34You have a delicate stomach.
00:46:36I have one of steel.
00:46:40I'm Venmo-ing you for this.
00:46:49You want me to buy you dinner?
00:46:51You own the restaurant.
00:46:57I want a home-cooked meal.
00:47:00I can cook.
00:47:04Prove it.
00:47:08Where is the invalid?
00:47:10We had to see the woman who finally made Ezra Gardner leave a bored meeting.
00:47:16Get out.
00:47:19Hi.
00:47:20I'm Luke.
00:47:21Ezra talks about you.
00:47:23A lot.
00:47:24He talks about me?
00:47:27I mentioned my assistant.
00:47:30Once.
00:47:30Once?
00:47:31You almost bought out her coffee shop because they kept messing up her latte.
00:47:39You did what?
00:47:45Out!
00:47:46She needs to rest.
00:47:53Did you really threaten to buy my coffee shop?
00:47:57It was a strategic assessment of real estate value.
00:48:01You're a terrible liar, Axel.
00:48:04I'm a very good liar.
00:48:08But with you, it's becoming difficult.
00:48:12Why?
00:48:14Because you see too much.
00:48:25Vitals check.
00:48:33What the?
00:48:35It's just...
00:48:36gone.
00:48:37Don't go in.
00:48:39The place smells like a sewer.
00:48:42Irving did this.
00:48:44No.
00:48:46The landlord.
00:48:47See the paper stapled to the wall?
00:48:49Eviction notice.
00:48:50You never told me.
00:48:51He just took the door?
00:48:52But my boxes.
00:48:54My clothes.
00:48:55Leave them.
00:48:55Everything in there is contaminated.
00:48:57It's not safe.
00:48:58I can't just leave everything I own.
00:49:01Hallie, look at me.
00:49:02It's stuff.
00:49:04We can replace stuff.
00:49:06I can't replace you if some junkie attacks you in there.
00:49:09Where do I go?
00:49:10I have nowhere.
00:49:13You come with me.
00:49:14The penthouse.
00:49:16No.
00:49:17I can't live with you.
00:49:18It crosses a line.
00:49:20The line was crossed when I carried you out of a hotel lobby bleeding.
00:49:24I need my own space.
00:49:26I need to pay for it myself.
00:49:27Fine.
00:49:29The Gartner Tower has corporate suites.
00:49:3140th floor.
00:49:32Secure.
00:49:32Private.
00:49:33How much?
00:49:35Employee rate.
00:49:37$50 a night.
00:49:41$50 for a Manhattan suite?
00:49:43You're lying.
00:49:44Do you want the room or the street?
00:49:52It has a door.
00:50:01What are you doing?
00:50:03Checking for bugs, cameras, listening devices.
00:50:07You're paranoid.
00:50:08I'm careful.
00:50:10I'm in the penthouse, 10 floors up.
00:50:13Private elevator code is 0815.
00:50:17Use it if you need anything.
00:50:190815?
00:50:19Is that a date?
00:50:20It's the SEC filing date for our last major acquisition.
00:50:24Get some sleep.
00:50:25Lock the door.
00:50:33You wanted him so badly, Leah.
00:50:36You stole him.
00:50:37You lied for him.
00:50:40So thank you for taking out my trash.
00:50:45She's so pathetic.
00:50:47I just need her to sketch the concepts.
00:50:48Once I have the files, she's history.
00:50:51She actually thinks you love her.
00:50:53God, remember that scarf?
00:50:55Love?
00:50:55Please.
00:50:56I'm doing this for your uncle's trust fund.
00:50:59Once we're married and the baby secures my stake,
00:51:01I can finally stop pretending to care.
00:51:04You son of a bitch!
00:51:07No!
00:51:07Uncle Ray, stop!
00:51:09He didn't mean it!
00:51:10Get off me!
00:51:11I'll sue you!
00:51:12I'll...
00:51:21Allie?
00:51:22I did it.
00:51:24I blew it up.
00:51:26Irving confessed to fraud on tape.
00:51:29The police were arriving.
00:51:31Good.
00:51:32So why do you look like you lost?
00:51:34Because it doesn't change anything.
00:51:36I'm still the girl who was fooled for three years.
00:51:39You're the girl who fought back.
00:51:41Most people would have cried.
00:51:43You burned his world down.
00:51:47Welcome to the club.
00:51:51I just got a text.
00:51:52My repair is ready for pickup in Southampton.
00:51:56Southampton?
00:51:57I have a house out there.
00:52:01I'm heading out tomorrow morning.
00:52:02I can give you a lift.
00:52:03I can give you a lift.
00:52:05Really?
00:52:06That would be great.
00:52:08Or to meet your night-night.
00:52:11It's on the way.
00:52:13Go to bed, Hallie.
00:52:16We leave at nine.
00:52:25Is there a party?
00:52:26It appears to be a formal event.
00:52:28You can't go in wearing that.
00:52:36Put this on.
00:52:38The back seat is private.
00:52:40What?
00:52:41No.
00:52:41I'm not crashing a party.
00:52:43My grandfather would be insulted if you didn't stay.
00:52:46You will be respected.
00:52:48Change.
00:53:00Allie!
00:53:01You came!
00:53:03Silas?
00:53:08Grandfather.
00:53:12Grandfather?
00:53:13Come in.
00:53:14Come in.
00:53:15Everyone is dying to meet you.
00:53:17What is going on?
00:53:19You said he was a tailor.
00:53:22He is.
00:53:23He just happens to own the company, too.
00:53:25And this is his 80th birthday gala.
00:53:27I am going to kill you.
00:53:31Smile.
00:53:32If you run now, you humiliate him.
00:53:35And me.
00:53:47Ezra, you brought a date?
00:53:52Camila, meet Halle.
00:54:02My fiancée.
00:54:07You deliberately paraded me in front of her?
00:54:12You used our arrangement to provoke your ex-girlfriend without a single warning?
00:54:19I was establishing your position.
00:54:21As my fiancée, you need to get used to swatting away flies like Camila.
00:54:25She looked at me like I was something she'd scrape off her shoe.
00:54:28She's dangerous, Axel.
00:54:30I know.
00:54:31She's also vindictive.
00:54:32If she thinks you're just an employee, she'll destroy you for sport.
00:54:35If she believes this is real, she has to hesitate.
00:54:38You have no idea who she is to me.
00:54:40What that family represents.
00:54:42I know you've been investigating Senator Grimes.
00:54:44My security team flagged your deep dives into his financials.
00:54:49You've been watching me?
00:54:50Svother, I've been protecting my assets.
00:54:54You are one of them.
00:54:57That man's corruption cost my family everything.
00:55:00That's all you need to know.
00:55:02Then you need this protection even more.
00:55:04I didn't sign up to be a weapon in your personal vendas!
00:55:08Irving has poisoned your reputation.
00:55:11He's telling everyone you stole designs.
00:55:13Even with him gone, the rumors will stick.
00:55:16But as Hallie Gardner, you become untouchable.
00:55:21And what do you get?
00:55:22My grandfather off my back.
00:55:24And as my wife, you'll have the power to face the senator directly.
00:55:28So it's a transaction.
00:55:30It's an escalation of our contract.
00:55:33One year, we live together, we play the part.
00:55:38You get access, protection, and resources.
00:55:41I get stability.
00:55:43And the physical terms?
00:55:48No forced intimacy.
00:55:51Unless you want it.
00:55:53Cake time!
00:55:55Come on, lovebirds!
00:56:02Okay.
00:56:07Let's go cut a cake, darling.
00:56:12One year.
00:56:16I have no intention of letting you go in a year.
00:56:19I'm playing the long game.
00:56:23Stop the car.
00:56:25We're 40 minutes from the city, Hallie.
00:56:27Go back to sleep.
00:56:27I said, stop the car.
00:56:31No.
00:56:35Put that back on.
00:56:36You manipulated me.
00:56:38You paraded me around like a trophy just to scare off your ex-girlfriend.
00:56:41I gave you a shield.
00:56:44As my fiancée, Camilla can't touch you.
00:56:46I don't want a shield that comes with a leash.
00:56:48You didn't ask me!
00:56:49Because you were drowning.
00:56:51And I don't let my investments drown.
00:56:53An investment?
00:56:55Is that what I am?
00:56:56Pull over, Exra.
00:56:57Or I swear to God, I will open this door right now!
00:57:00Stop!
00:57:03You are reckless.
00:57:06I am free.
00:57:15Get back in the car, Hallie.
00:57:17No.
00:57:18I'm not going back to your tower.
00:57:20I'm not going back to your rules.
00:57:22And where are you going to go?
00:57:23It's 2 a.m.
00:57:24You're in a ball gown on the expressway.
00:57:28I'll figure it out.
00:57:29I'm calling an Uber.
00:57:30Fine.
00:57:31You want independence?
00:57:33Have it.
00:57:44No cars available?
00:57:45No, no, no!
00:57:49Pick up the phone, Hallie.
00:57:51Just call a car.
00:57:52I hate you!
00:57:54You are an arrogant, controlling jerk!
00:57:56Message not delivered?
00:57:58No service?
00:58:00Fine.
00:58:01I don't need you either.
00:58:06Hey.
00:58:07You haven't eaten.
00:58:08I got you a tuna melt.
00:58:11Ah!
00:58:24No.
00:58:25Please, no.
00:58:27Please, no.
00:58:29No.
00:58:31Please, no.
00:58:33Well, well, well.
00:58:35What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:58:37Go away, Leah.
00:58:38I'm here for my prenatal checkup.
00:58:41Irving and I need to look like a perfect, happy family.
00:58:45What are you hiding?
00:58:48Nothing.
00:58:51Hey!
00:58:52Give that back!
00:58:54Oh my god.
00:58:56A pregnancy test?
00:58:58You?
00:58:59Give it back.
00:59:02Who's the daddy, Hallie?
00:59:04Is it Irvin?
00:59:06Or that billionaire you're trying to scam?
00:59:09Shut up!
00:59:09You don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:11I know exactly what you are.
00:59:13A desperate little climber.
00:59:15Irving told me everything.
00:59:16Leah, stop.
00:59:17Or what?
00:59:18You'll cry?
00:59:20Like your mother cried when your dad left her?
00:59:28What did you say?
00:59:29Irving told me.
00:59:31About your mommy issues.
00:59:33About how your mother was some groupie who couldn't keep her legs shut.
00:59:40You bitch!
00:59:42My baby!
00:59:43She pushed me!
00:59:44Help!
00:59:45She's trying to kill my baby!
00:59:50That girl just shoved a pregnant woman.
00:59:52Call security!
00:59:54I didn't...
00:59:54You are insane.
00:59:59You're done.
01:00:01I'm going to sue you for everything.
01:00:03I'll make sure Ezra knows you're a violent psycho who attacks pregnant women.
01:00:23Know your place, trash.
01:00:34I wouldn't do that.
01:00:36Let go of me!
01:00:37Who do you think you are?
01:00:42Mr. Gardner?
01:00:45Hallie, are you hurt?
01:00:49She stepped on you.
01:00:52I'm fine.
01:00:54I'm fine.
01:00:55She started it!
01:00:56She pushed me!
01:00:57I'm pregnant!
01:01:00Finley.
01:01:02Sir, I have the security footage.
01:01:05It shows Miss Vance initiating the conference in, stealing medical documents, and assaulting
01:01:10Andrews with a weapon.
01:01:11Weapon?
01:01:12It was a shoe!
01:01:14Assault with a deadly weapon.
01:01:16And since you're claiming pregnancy, we'll add child endangerment.
01:01:22No police.
01:01:24Please.
01:01:25Oh, the police are the least of your problems.
01:01:27Vance Imports.
01:01:28That's your father's company, correct?
01:01:30Yes.
01:01:31They have a bridge loan with my company.
01:01:34I just instructed my CFO to call it in.
01:01:36Tonight.
01:01:36You can't.
01:01:37That will bankrupt us.
01:01:39You should have thought of that before you touched my fiancé.
01:01:44Let's go, Hallie.
01:01:46I can't.
01:01:47Why were you here?
01:01:49Were you following me?
01:01:51Yes.
01:01:52I was worried.
01:01:54You disappeared.
01:01:55You haven't answered my calls.
01:01:56Because you blocked me!
01:01:59You left me on the highway, and then you cut me off!
01:02:04Blocked you?
01:02:05I never blocked you.
01:02:07Look.
01:02:20Hallie, get in the car.
01:02:21Let me take you home.
01:02:23No.
01:02:24I can't do this.
01:02:25The tracking, the fighting.
01:02:27I just need to be alone.
01:02:31Hallie.
01:02:31I'm leaving.
01:02:41Fiancé, he said he didn't block me.
01:02:45Hallie, I know you're in there.
01:02:49Go away!
01:02:51I'm calling the police!
01:03:04You think you're better than me?
01:03:07Get away from me!
01:03:09You're going to pay for what you did!
01:03:11Let's see if he still wants you after I'm done with you.
01:03:15Ezra!
01:03:16Ezra!
01:03:17Help!
01:03:25You're dead!
01:03:27No!
01:03:28Let me go!
01:03:30I'm going to make you pay for that!
01:03:40Somebody help me!
01:03:43Ah!
01:03:44Ezra!
01:03:47Ezra!
01:03:59Ezra, stop!
01:04:01You're going to kill him!
01:04:04Please stop!
01:04:06You're scaring me!
01:04:09Ezra!
01:04:10Look at me!
01:04:12Look at me!
01:04:20Did he...
01:04:22Did he touch you?
01:04:27No.
01:04:28You came.
01:04:30You came.
01:04:31The S.O.S. came through.
01:04:33Just a location.
01:04:37When I heard you scream.
01:04:42I thought I was too late.
01:04:50Clear the area.
01:04:52Secure the perimeter.
01:04:54Police are two minutes out.
01:04:56Get them out of my way.
01:04:58Ezra, she needs a medic.
01:05:03She needs me.
01:05:04We're leaving.
01:05:22Ezra.
01:05:23This needs stitches.
01:05:26Okay.
01:05:27It's fine.
01:05:30It's not fine!
01:05:31None of this is fine, Hallie!
01:05:34You almost died tonight!
01:05:35Because you're stubborn!
01:05:37Because you think you have to prove something!
01:05:40I just wanted to be independent.
01:05:43Independence is useless if you're dead.
01:05:47Listen to me.
01:05:49No more games.
01:05:52No more running away.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:56You are moving in with me.
01:05:58Tonight.
01:06:00Permanently.
01:06:09I'm not asking, Hallie.
01:06:11I...
01:06:11I can't function knowing you're out there unprotected.
01:06:15I can't breathe.
01:06:19Okay.
01:06:20Say it again.
01:06:21Say it again.
01:06:22I'll move in.
01:06:23Ahem.
01:06:26I know.
01:06:43Finley.
01:06:44Take us home.
01:06:47I know.
01:06:50I know.
01:06:57I need to check your ribs.
01:06:59He sat on you.
01:07:02I know.
01:07:06Does this hurt?
01:07:09A little.
01:07:10Bruised, but not broken.
01:07:12Here.
01:07:26Where are you going?
01:07:27Don't leave.
01:07:30I'll take the couch.
01:07:31I won't be far.
01:07:33No.
01:07:33Stay.
01:07:34Please.
01:07:35I don't want to be alone.
01:07:39Hallie.
01:07:48Come here.
01:07:50Ezra?
01:07:51How did you know where I was before I called you?
01:07:55I put a tracker in your purse.
01:07:58You what?
01:07:59Before you get angry.
01:08:00I did it after Irving pushed you in the rain.
01:08:07I knew he was unstable.
01:08:11A tracker?
01:08:13Hallie?
01:08:14I'm not angry.
01:08:17I'm thinking about his hands on my throat
01:08:19and how you broke down the door.
01:08:23You're not?
01:08:25No.
01:08:31I will always find you, Hallie.
01:08:34Always.
01:08:40You tore the scar tissue again.
01:08:42Dr. Slower is going to kill you.
01:08:47It was worth it.
01:08:51Six flights, Ezra.
01:08:53You ran up six flights of stairs.
01:08:56Six flights?
01:08:58You ran?
01:08:59One?
01:09:01Hallie.
01:09:02Good morning.
01:09:07Why would you do that to your leg?
01:09:09There was no time to wait for the fire department.
01:09:14I couldn't wait for you.
01:09:16You idiot.
01:09:19I've been called worse.
01:09:27I was going to do this properly.
01:09:29With candles and music.
01:09:31But I think we're past that.
01:09:33Hallie?
01:09:34Marry me.
01:09:35For real.
01:09:36Not for a year.
01:09:37Not for protection.
01:09:38Marry me because last night,
01:09:40the thought of my life without you,
01:09:41it was unbearable.
01:09:44Is this because I might be pregnant?
01:09:51You might be pregnant?
01:09:53I missed my period.
01:09:55I was at the clinic to get tested when Leah attacked.
01:09:57I never got the results.
01:10:01It doesn't matter.
01:10:03Pregnant or not,
01:10:04I want you.
01:10:07Okay.
01:10:15Finley.
01:10:16Get the car.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:19Then City Hall.
01:10:20We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:20We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:20We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:21We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:21We're going to the hospital first.
