00:00:00If I could, rewind the clock.
00:00:06Matthew?
00:00:07Here.
00:00:09Hi.
00:00:11I'm Emily.
00:00:13Matthew.
00:00:14How many times have I dreamed of you?
00:00:25I'll keep it safe.
00:00:30You were my first friend in college.
00:00:33Yet, I know you'll never come back.
00:00:37Hey, Matthew!
00:00:45Matthew?
00:00:47Are you okay?
00:00:48Oh my god.
00:00:50Somebody help!
00:00:51Please!
00:00:53How I miss seeing your face and hearing your voice.
00:01:03This is your new assistant.
00:01:08Um, my name is Emily.
00:01:09This is the document you asked for.
00:01:13But I never expected it to be this way.
00:01:21I need you now.
00:01:23Being a personal assistant means not only being on call 24-7, but also handling some of his little secrets.
00:01:44It's the document you asked for.
00:01:4524.
00:01:46You work as a receptionist at Perla Jewelry.
00:01:48And of course your father asked for you to come and see Alexander.
00:01:51What exactly do you want?
00:01:54You want to accuse him of rape so that you can sabotage the partnership?
00:01:57What did they do to threaten you?
00:01:59Use your father's gambling debts?
00:02:01How did you leave before everyone you love knows what you've done?
00:02:12Hey, it's too late. It's too late.
00:02:15Please help me.
00:02:16I forgot to mention that, besides being Alexander's assistant, I also serve as his lover.
00:02:34I have good news for you.
00:02:37I've settled things with my father. He's agreed to invest.
00:02:41Well, that is good news. Thank you.
00:02:49Is that all?
00:02:52When are you going to announce our wedding date to my dad?
00:02:55Cynthia, I think you misunderstood.
00:02:57I'm not part of the gift.
00:03:01Alexander, you should know that my father wouldn't be willing to invest a penny if you weren't my boyfriend.
00:03:14This tie suits you well. You should wear it tonight.
00:03:21Emily!
00:03:25Emily!
00:03:26Hi.
00:03:27Um, do you have that quarterly report ready for me?
00:03:31Yes, is now a good time.
00:03:33Are you sending me away already?
00:03:36No, why don't I have Mike accompany you if you can take my credit card and get whatever you like.
00:03:41Okay.
00:03:47Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:03:51You're in your office.
00:03:53Someone can see us.
00:03:54We don't do anything.
00:03:56Watch.
00:03:59I like this necklace on you.
00:04:02Since you helped me out yet again, let me get you a little gift.
00:04:09Maybe some...
00:04:10earrings?
00:04:14Maybe a nice dress?
00:04:16Alexander, it's not needed.
00:04:18Okay, this is stuff I should be doing as your assistant anyways.
00:04:23Don't look at me like that.
00:04:28You know, sometimes...
00:04:31I wonder if you see me...
00:04:33when you look at me.
00:04:36Are you seeing someone else?
00:04:41Oh, you know what?
00:04:43Let me...
00:04:44I'm gonna get back to work.
00:04:45For the banquet tonight, uh, wear something nice.
00:04:47And that necklace.
00:04:49I like it on you.
00:04:51Yes, sir.
00:04:55Boss, I've got information about our investigation on that man.
00:05:02His name is Matthew.
00:05:03He was Emily's first love back in school.
00:05:15And according to our investigation,
00:05:17he died in a car accident three years ago.
00:05:20How can a dead man still have such a hold on her?
00:05:24When did you say he died?
00:05:25Three years ago?
00:05:28Could this be related to my memory loss?
00:05:39What makes you think you deserve a diamond necklace that's expensive?
00:05:43Oh, dear.
00:05:45Alexander showers me with gifts like this every year.
00:05:48But you...
00:05:49You strut around with your little participants award like it's some grand prize.
00:05:55Do you even realize you're just a lowly assistant?
00:05:59As if Alexander would ever care about someone like you.
00:06:03I don't need anything from Alexander.
00:06:05Because I've earned everything that I've worked for.
00:06:07Don't think I haven't caught on to your game, you sneaky bitch.
00:06:11Alexander is mine.
00:06:14And you'll never get your claws on him.
00:06:25Why does it bother me?
00:06:27I shouldn't fall for Alexander.
00:06:48Hey, where's the necklace?
00:06:52I don't like it.
00:07:02Oh, Emily, thank you for pulling up my chair for me.
00:07:05My father and I have some confidential things to discuss tonight.
00:07:08Go sit in the corner.
00:07:12We all know who the star is today.
00:07:16So, how about I give you a yes to marrying my daughter?
00:07:20Wow, uh, thank you, but actually my heart belongs with someone else.
00:07:29So, I hope you understand my reasoning.
00:07:36Why?
00:07:37You're too pasty.
00:07:39The children need time to develop their feelings for each other.
00:07:44Alexander, would you like some dessert?
00:07:47Yeah.
00:07:49Servant?
00:07:52Serve that to the woman opposite, Alexander.
00:08:05Emily, what happened this afternoon was completely my fault.
00:08:09I really hope you don't take it to heart.
00:08:13Mr. Billups, just a misunderstanding.
00:08:15No harm done.
00:08:18Is this the girl that made you cry when you came home today, Cynthia?
00:08:21Yes, Mom.
00:08:22I upset Emily, which made Alexander angry and sent me away.
00:08:27Hmm.
00:08:27I thought Mr. Alexander had better taste than this.
00:08:30Actually, uh, Emily is the best assistant that I've had the pleasure of working with.
00:08:36Now I understand why you refused so firmly before.
00:08:40You kids are fighting.
00:08:43Emily, I'm so happy you're not upset with me.
00:08:46I made these pastries specifically for you.
00:08:48I really hope you'll try them and forgive me.
00:08:52Does this have pistachio cream in it?
00:08:54Because I'm allergic.
00:08:57Does this mean you won't forgive me?
00:09:05You don't have to eat them if you don't want to.
00:09:09Mr. Alexander, I think you pay too much attention to your employee.
00:09:15And besides, these pastries are hand-made by Cynthia.
00:09:20How could they possibly do her any harm?
00:09:22I can't make things difficult for Alexander.
00:09:35No.
00:09:41Excuse me.
00:09:51You all right?
00:10:03How do you have that brooch?
00:10:05I have it from your old friend.
00:10:12Emily?
00:10:14Emily?
00:10:15Hey.
00:10:19Hey.
00:10:21Me.
00:10:22You okay? Who is it?
00:10:22Don't worry.
00:10:24Alexander, I just came up here for some fresh air.
00:10:27Look, I don't mean to point fingers, but this is Cynthia's territory, so just be cautious.
00:10:33Okay.
00:10:34Can't get enough of this face.
00:10:36Matthew, was that you just now?
00:10:41Are you alive?
00:10:47What is taking Alexander so long?
00:10:49Did he go find that woman?
00:10:51For what?
00:10:53He doesn't take the DeVille family seriously.
00:10:57I was so certain that you could easily win him over.
00:11:03Now it seems we need to use some tactics.
00:11:07Hmm.
00:11:08I can use our collaboration to force Alexander to marry you.
00:11:12No, Dad.
00:11:14I know Alexander.
00:11:16A man like him doesn't respond well to force.
00:11:18Hmm.
00:11:19We need to target that bitch assistant.
00:11:27Alexander!
00:11:31Mr. Alexander.
00:11:33Let's finalize the details of our partnership.
00:11:38Hmm.
00:11:42Emily, come with me.
00:11:43I have several new dresses to show you.
00:11:47Darling, could you help me take off the necklace around my neck?
00:11:50I can't quite reach the clasp.
00:11:52Yes, of course.
00:11:57Oh, dear.
00:11:58The strap on your back is tied wrong.
00:12:00Let me help you retie it.
00:12:11All done.
00:12:12Hmm.
00:12:13Well, that's your mom.
00:12:16Oh, darling.
00:12:18You look gorgeous.
00:12:20Oh, so beautiful.
00:12:23Darling, where is that necklace that your father gave you for your birthday?
00:12:28Oh, I found it cumbersome while changing dresses, so I had Emily take it off of me and then...
00:12:35What are you standing around for?
00:12:37Go to the dressing room and help me find it.
00:12:39That necklace is worth a hundred million dollars.
00:12:42Move it!
00:12:46Darling, do you remember where you put it after you took it off of me?
00:12:49I gave it right back to you, Cynthia.
00:12:53Cynthia, why are you being so rude to our guests?
00:12:56Yes.
00:12:57And why would Mr. Alexander keep somebody around with sticky fingers?
00:13:01Besides, stealing something worth one hundred million dollars?
00:13:07That could get you ten years in prison.
00:13:11Miss, we searched the entire dressing room and we can't find your necklace.
00:13:17Oh, are you suggesting that I remember?
00:13:21Miss, actually, there is one last place that we haven't checked yet.
00:13:26Miss Emily's handbag.
00:13:48Mr. DeVille.
00:13:51Mr. DeVille.
00:13:52all the confidential technology you need on the condition you agree to marry
00:13:58Cynthia I don't recall that being part of the agreement Cynthia likes you I was
00:14:06going to give you more time to get to know each other but your actions tonight
00:14:10concern me may I be blunt mr. Deville besides the fact that love can't be
00:14:17forced are you trying to make a business deal or sell your daughter you you
00:14:24Alexander you should know that your rival Clinton corporation also wants this
00:14:28opportunity I rejected Clinton corporations offer because of your close relationship with
00:14:35Cynthia if you don't marry Cynthia tonight I will cease our partnership immediately
00:14:54Alexander consider your decision carefully
00:15:01Alexander consider your decision carefully the value that I provide as a business partner is
00:15:07much more than that of a husband at my age money is no longer critical Cynthia's happiness is all that
00:15:16matters I think we have a misunderstanding I've never loved Cynthia nor do I believe I'm the man
00:15:21for her she won't find any happiness with me I knew it Cynthia was right you'll be rich by that
00:15:26little
00:15:26assistant how could Alexander be seduced by such a lowly assistant Emily is not like that this
00:15:36partnership is crucial to the both of us and there's no need to ruin it over personal matters in any
00:15:42case

00:28:45maybe this was a plan you both orchestrated
00:28:48Cynthia I could sue you for defamation for spreading these rumors
00:28:51my DeVille family does not wrongly accuse good people
00:28:55but we also do not spare a traitor
00:28:58if you claim you have nothing to do with tonight's events

00:29:58Mr. DeVille it's clear you love your daughter

00:33:2110
00:33:2211
00:33:2314
00:33:2315
00:33:2415
00:33:48You've been deceiving yourself that he's dead.
00:33:51Explain yourself then.
00:33:54I was Matthew's friend, my coach, and my biggest regret is that I couldn't protect him three
00:33:59years ago.
00:34:00But if I'd seen through Alexander's schemes, then, then maybe Matthew would've...
00:34:04Hold on.
00:34:04Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:11Are you saying that Alexander is responsible for Matthew's death?
00:34:15Yes.
00:34:16Matthew's five, but yes.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:21Tell me everything.
00:34:23Why does Alexander look exactly like Matthew, and why did he want Matthew dead?
00:34:27What people don't know is that Alexander, the world group's esteemed CEO, is actually
00:34:32Matthew's illegitimate brother.
00:34:34Matthew and his mom took Alexander in, but growing up, he harbored secret ambitions to
00:34:40eliminate Matthew and take the family's inheritance for himself.
00:34:43So three years ago, he orchestrated that car accident to try to hit you both.
00:34:48What?
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:49Let's make a deal.
00:34:52Get close to Alexander, find out his secrets, and together we can take him down and avenge Matthew.
00:35:00Are you really starting to like him?
00:35:08Where's the evidence?
00:35:10Okay, you've said a lot, but you haven't proven anything.
00:35:12Once Alexander took control of his family's power, he didn't let any of his illegitimate
00:35:16status leak out.
00:35:17But I can prove to you I'm Matthew's friend.
00:35:21Emily, this piece, this is something you gave them the last time that you met.
00:35:27Okay, so I actually got this for you.
00:35:36What's this for?
00:35:38So my family is actually in a little bit of trouble, and my dad has a lot of gambling debt,
00:35:45and so I think we are going to have to leave the city.
00:35:49I might have to leave school early.
00:36:08Emily, you know, I've always wanted to tell you-
00:36:10Oh, Matthew, hold on.
00:36:11Oh, I'm sorry.
00:36:11There's an emergency at home.
00:36:13I have to go.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:18So Matthew told you all about this.
00:36:21As Matthew's friend, it's only natural I'd want to protect you.
00:36:25Dammit.
00:36:26Why can't she just forget about him?
00:36:30Remember our deal.
00:36:31Get close to Alexander.
00:36:32Find him the sweetness.
00:36:48Hey.
00:36:53I just want to say sorry for being a bit impulsive last night.
00:36:59It's okay.
00:37:01Um, did you wake up early and get some work done at least?
00:37:04Yeah.
00:37:05Yeah, I did, but nothing's more important than seeing you.
00:37:09Well, I am also your executive assistant, so I can share in your burdens.
00:37:15Well, Emily, let me report to you then.
00:37:20After pissing off Cynthia's family last night, Mr. DeVille has stopped agreeing to give us
00:37:25the technology we need, but we've begun developing our own technology, so we won't have to rely
00:37:33on partnerships in the future.
00:37:34That's actually really good.
00:37:36I'm really happy for you.
00:37:38Yeah.
00:37:43But there is just, you know, one little thing.
00:37:53No one can know about this technology, so I hope I can rely on your professional discretion.
00:38:02Well, whether I stay quiet or not really just depends on how much leverage you have to
00:38:05keep me.
00:38:12How's that for leverage?
00:38:13What's that for leverage?
00:38:26I trust this technology, I trust the company.
00:38:26Over this country, I trust the company that has never turned back to me.
00:38:28You know how much money is ever going to be?
00:38:29I love it.
00:38:34You know how much money is going to be?
00:38:34So now we'll pass it over and deal with Mr. DeVille is now.
00:38:34I know how much money is going to pay for money and can't afford what money is.
00:38:35I know.
00:38:35I hear that.
00:38:35I know how much money is going to be.
00:38:38I know what's going to be.
00:38:43That's coming.
00:38:43It's going to be, that's going to be a Зillie.
00:38:59How about a deal, Mr. DeVille?
00:39:02I help you get revenge and Alexander.
00:39:04We take everything from him and ensure he can never hold his head high before the DeVille family again.
00:39:09Sometimes, reliable allies come not from marital bonds or blood ties, but from having a common enemy.
00:39:31What do you find, Alexander Sweetness?
00:39:33Bring a USB drive to the bar downtown.
00:39:35I choose you.
00:39:39Hello, what are you up to?
00:39:41Uh, nothing. Let me get you some water.
00:39:46You going out?
00:39:48No, I was just, uh, cold.
00:39:51Here you go.
00:39:54You're welcome.
00:39:58Leave it, leave it, leave it. I'll have someone clean up.
00:40:00Hello, please and thank you.
00:40:01The USB drive.
00:40:13Hello?
00:40:14Alexander, we need you at the company immediately.
00:40:17Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Be right over.
00:40:21That was work. I just gotta go ahead over there, but I will be right back.
00:40:24Yeah, of course.
00:40:25Work is enough.
00:40:27Okay.
00:40:36Okay.
00:40:52I'm stuck.
00:40:55Okay.
00:41:05I'm stuck.
00:41:06You wait here. I'll be right back. Okay. Yeah, let me grab your coat. It might be a little bit
00:41:10too hot
00:41:36No wine for me tonight. I got some work to do later.
00:41:39Well, that's okay. Why don't you try the food and see if it's to your liking?
00:41:43Emily, your cooking is always to my liking.
00:41:53I'm Emily.
00:42:00I coated the fork.
00:42:05Alexander? Hey.
00:42:09Hey, Ella.
00:42:12Uh, Mr. Alexander is tipsy. Can you help him to his room, please?
00:42:16Yes, ma'am.
00:42:22I'm sorry, Alexander. I have to do this.
00:42:44Does she leave?
00:42:46Yes, sir. Miss Emily has left tequila.
00:42:49Get the car ready. I want to know where she's going.
00:42:51I appreciate it, so I'll do that immediately.
00:43:01Miss Emily, please join me for a drink.
00:43:11Are you gonna keep that mask on all night?
00:43:14Of course not.
00:43:16I've always been sincere with you.
00:43:26So, are you so eager to get down to business, or would you like to set the mood first?
00:43:33I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:37Well, well.
00:43:43I actually brought the confidential files that you were looking for.
00:43:50It seems you're very capable of being an assistant, and might I say entirely fitting as a spy.
00:43:57Well, it's not that difficult, and dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:44:02You just show a little skin, and be passionate in bed, and express admiration.
00:44:07But you know what? I actually have a question for you that I've been wanting to ask.
00:44:12Why are you so interested in me?
00:44:14I mean, do you have a little crush?
00:44:17Because back in school when I was with Matthew, whether we were, you know, in class together,
00:44:21or going on dates, or in the cafeteria, I never saw you around.
00:44:25Were you secretly in love with me back then?
00:44:30Yes, I was.
00:44:33I've liked you from the start.
00:44:35But of course, my good friend Matthew got you first, and I just didn't want to intrude.
00:44:42Later, I had health issues, and I dropped out.
00:44:46It's a really good performance, mystery man.
00:44:49Performance? I'm being sincere with you.
00:44:52Right, but if you were Matthew's best friend, then you would have known that he never goes to the cafeteria,
00:44:56because he thinks the food is bland. He doesn't like it. So he either cooks it, or goes out.
00:45:09But don't worry. I'm going to give you some time to think of a much better excuse,
00:45:14and then you can have what you asked for. Okay?
00:45:17Just as I suspected, this person has something off about him. I need to get more information from Alexander.
00:45:24Emily, wait.
00:45:25Don't touch me.
00:45:26I can take you to see Matthew whenever you want to.
00:45:32Where is he?
00:45:33Well, when you get to see him, depends entirely on your sincerity.
00:45:44It seems you may have been followed.
00:46:08What are you doing here?
00:46:09I think you owe me an explanation.
00:46:13Alexander, I...
00:46:14Emily!
00:46:15Hi!
00:46:15Thank you so much for coming to my birthday. I had so much fun.
00:46:20I'm Sophie.
00:46:22Right. Sophie, it's such a pleasure celebrating your big day with you.
00:46:26Emily, what's going on? Who are these girls?
00:46:29They're my friends. This is Sophie. It's her birthday, so we're having a little party.
00:46:33Emily. Emily, is this your boyfriend? So handsome.
00:46:41No, he's not my boyfriend. Um, he's my fiancé.
00:46:46Oh.
00:46:47Get in.
00:46:48What? You're leaving already? That's my birthday.
00:46:51Me and my fiancé have some private matters to discuss.
00:46:55Okay, it looks like I can't stay, so...
00:46:58Wow, uh, your fiancé is a little possessive, but come on, we're still having fun.
00:47:04Yeah, sorry about that. I'll have my assistant send you a gift.
00:47:09I'm sorry.
00:47:14Ladies, I have a small favor to ask you.
00:47:18I wonder if you could help me cover if you can only do the door over there.
00:47:27Oh, of course, handsome. You're pretty good at this.
00:47:37Okay, why did you come for me? Was it something urgent?
00:47:39Let's go get in the car.
00:47:59Okay, what is going on with you? You've been silent all night.
00:48:03Were you surprised to see me at the bar tonight?
00:48:06I mean, what were you thinking?
00:48:08Were you worried that the dose of the drug was too low?
00:48:12What are you talking about? I don't even know what you're saying right now.
00:48:16Emily, I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:27Emily, I'm giving you a chance to tell me everything.
00:48:31What do you want me to say?
00:48:33Why did you drug me? Why did you take the files off of my computer and who are you meeting
00:48:38tonight?
00:48:39So you knew all along?
00:48:41What about the kindness that you've showed me for the last couple of days that that was an act?
00:48:45This is how you interrogate someone.
00:48:47Emily, just...
00:48:48Just tell me.
00:48:50Everyone has their secrets, Alexander.
00:48:53Emily, my patience is running thin. Just tell me.
00:48:58Look, all I can tell you is that I've done nothing to harm you.
00:49:01Okay, that USB cord didn't have any company secrets.
00:49:04It just had files that it was acting like a decoy.
00:49:06As for who I was with, I don't even know that person.
00:49:08Emily.
00:49:09Look, I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:10Emily, what are you trying to do?
00:49:15Before we continue, can we talk about your past?
00:49:19Maybe three years ago?
00:49:21Why do you want to talk about that?
00:49:22Just tell me.
00:49:24Just think of it as a way for me to get to know you better.
00:49:26I've already told you everything. I can't remember anything from that time.
00:49:29Rhett, you have amnesia.
00:49:31But those memories are important to me, so I was hoping that you could recall something.
00:49:35I'm not hiding anything. I have amnesia.
00:49:38That's the truth. I can't change it.
00:49:40I know. I understand that.
00:49:42And if that's how you want to forget, I guess I can't interfere with that.
00:49:45But I need to process my own feelings.
00:49:48Emily, what's happening?
00:49:50God, we can figure this out together.
00:49:51I don't even know what I want.
00:49:56We can figure this out together.
00:49:58Okay, I don't know what I want. I need time.
00:50:00Emily, just wait. Listen, listen.
00:50:03I need time.
00:50:05I don't know what I believe.
00:50:09Emily, everything I'm telling you is the truth.
00:50:14I've lost my memories and I can't remember anything.
00:50:16But the feelings I have for you are true.
00:50:23What about the feelings for Bella?
00:50:26Are they real?
00:50:27What about the feelings for your twin brother?
00:50:31Twin brother, what are you talking about?
00:50:33You mean you don't have a brother?
00:50:34Someone that you care about?
00:50:35No. I don't have a brother. Why are you asking that?
00:50:42I don't know. I don't know.
00:50:43I just think that sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about, Alexander.
00:50:47That's it.
00:50:51Sometimes we have secrets that we don't know about, Alexander.
00:50:54That's it.
00:50:57They're both suspicious. Who should I trust?
00:51:00Alexander says he has amnesia, but I don't believe it.
00:51:03And then Matthew seems to know things that I don't.
00:51:07What do I do?
00:51:10Emily, I will be by your side.
00:51:14And we can figure this out.
00:51:18I wish I could trust you.
00:51:30And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:51:32Do you just show a little skin?
00:51:35Oh, who would have thought that Alexander was deceived by the girl he trusts the very most?
00:51:42Thanks to your help, we can finally put Alexander in the trap we have set for you.
00:51:47What's the next step?
00:51:52What's the next step?
00:51:54Matter of fact, Emily's father told us.
00:51:57You mentioned before that Emily's father was a gambler, right?
00:52:01Correct.
00:52:02Oh, I look forward to seeing Alexander's reaction when he is thoroughly betrayed.
00:52:07Next time, I want them all on their knees.
00:52:12Begging me.
00:52:20Hey dad, what's going on?
00:52:23Hey, everything okay?
00:52:26Okay, um, that's my dad. He says I have to get back. It's urgent.
00:52:32Yeah, I'll come with you.
00:52:34No, Alexander, I'm sorry to interrupt your breakfast.
00:52:37There's something happening at the office. We might need you there immediately.
00:52:41Emily, I...
00:52:41No, no. If you can handle your situation, I'm gonna go be with my dad.
00:52:45Okay.
00:52:46Yeah, I'll finish up quickly and come see you.
00:52:47Okay.
00:52:54Hey, dad, are you okay?
00:52:56It's, it's nothing, Emily. I, I just missed you.
00:53:01Okay.
00:53:05Who was that?
00:53:06No one. Wrong number.
00:53:08Dad, just tell me. You're not so gambling again, are you?
00:53:11Emily, I...
00:53:15Gather.
00:53:18Don't worry, Miss Emily. We're just taking you as collateral for your father's debt.
00:53:21You really set me up as collateral? Dad, I'm your daughter? How could you do that?
00:53:25Emily, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.
00:53:27Enough talk. Let's go.
00:53:29No! Dad!
00:53:42Well, well, we meet again.
00:53:45So it's you pulling the strings.
00:53:49Why are you accusing me?
00:53:51Your father's the one that owes us the money.
00:53:53What exactly do you want?
00:53:57I know you copied Alexander's confidential files.
00:54:02Hand them over and I'll make this easier on you.
00:54:06I don't know what you're talking about.
00:54:14Stop. Stop. Don't touch me. Stop.
00:54:20Stop.
00:54:25Stop.
00:54:27Here you go.
00:54:33Looks like we found what we're looking for.
00:54:39In this world, there are winners and losers.
00:54:44You, Emily, are the latter.
00:54:46Are you even thinking about the consequences of what you're doing, Cynthia?
00:54:49I don't care about consequences.
00:54:52Only results.
00:54:53And now, Alexander's secret is mine to use.
00:54:57And you, Emily.
00:55:01Did you see this was gonna happen?
00:55:04You and your father are simply pawns in my game.
00:55:07What you're doing is illegal.
00:55:10Law?
00:55:11I don't care about the law.
00:55:14Around here, my word is the law.
00:55:17And now, I'm gonna teach you a lesson you'll never forget.
00:55:24Don't worry, Miss Emily.
00:55:26We'll take good care of you.
00:55:33Alexander?
00:55:35Let her go.
00:55:36Alexander, you.
00:55:37How did you get here?
00:55:42You bastard!
00:55:52What are you doing?
00:55:53Get him!
00:55:56What are you doing?
00:55:58Get him!
00:56:02Emily!
00:56:03Hey!
00:56:03Hey, it's okay.
00:56:11Let's go.
00:56:11Let's go.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:13Do you think you've won, Alexander?
00:56:17Hey, are you okay?
00:56:18Yeah, I'm fine.
00:56:19I'm fine.
00:56:20Alexander, you're hurt.
00:56:22Stay here.
00:56:22Call the police.
00:56:24They deserve what's coming to them.
00:56:27No.
00:56:28Alexander, please.
00:56:29I'm begging you.
00:56:29Let's go.
00:56:30No, no, no.
00:56:30We need to go to the hospital.
00:56:32Why?
00:56:32No.
00:56:33You're pleading.
00:56:34Okay, we need to see a doctor.
00:56:35Oh, my God.
00:56:36Alexander, wake up, wake up.
00:56:38Are you okay?
00:56:38Wake up.
00:56:47The patient has a mild concussion.
00:56:50It's not severe.
00:56:51Don't worry, Miss Emily.
00:56:52Okay, but it's been a day already,
00:56:53and he's still unconscious.
00:56:54Yes, we haven't encountered a case quite like this.
00:56:58We don't have all the answers yet.
00:57:01All we can do at this point is observe.
00:57:09Alexander, please wake up.
00:57:12I can't do this without you.
00:57:14I love you.
00:57:16I love you, okay?
00:57:17So please just wake up so that I can explain everything to you.
00:57:24I love you.
00:57:27I love you.
00:57:30Hey.
00:57:30Are you okay?
00:57:33How are you?
00:57:36You okay?
00:57:38Yeah, I'm fine.
00:57:39But we're in the hospital, and you're safe.
00:57:41I missed you.
00:57:47Doctor, you came at the right time.
00:57:49Why are you here?
00:57:54Why are you here?
00:57:55Where are the bodyguards?
00:57:56What?
00:57:57Them?
00:57:58I thought they were working too hard,
00:58:00so I just let them nap.
00:58:01I'm sure Mr. Alexander here wouldn't mind that, right?
00:58:03Emily, take a step back.
00:58:06You know what he's capable of.
00:58:08Okay, don't blame him.
00:58:09I'm the one that ruined your plans, okay?
00:58:10It wasn't him.
00:58:12Hmm.
00:58:13You know, I do have mixed feelings about you.
00:58:16Hey, that's enough.
00:58:17All right, then.
00:58:18It seems I don't have much time, so let's just get down to it, shall we?
00:58:22I'm not here as your enemy.
00:58:24I just came to give you a warning.
00:58:26I don't care what you have to say.
00:58:28The warning is to never trust the people closest to you.
00:58:33And the truth is...
00:58:35And dealing with Alexander is pretty simple.
00:58:37You just show a little skin and be passionate.
00:58:47You have to let me explain, Alexander.
00:58:54Emily.
00:58:55I will be by your side.
00:58:58And we can figure this out.
00:59:03Oh, okay.
00:59:05You know, you are something else, Alex.
00:59:08Staying so calm and collected,
00:59:09even when the person you care about most betrays you.
00:59:12I don't believe you.
00:59:13Come on, man.
00:59:14I almost feel sorry for you.
00:59:16Do you know when your sweetheart and I start getting together?
00:59:19No, he's lying.
00:59:20Please don't believe him, Alexander.
00:59:22It was at Cynthia's family banquet.
00:59:25She came up to me first.
00:59:26Oh, and did I forget to mention that?
00:59:28She helped me escape.
00:59:31If it wasn't for her, I probably would have been caught.
00:59:33Take him away.
00:59:35One last thing.
00:59:39Emily, I always saw you as a stand-in lover.
00:59:47Emily, I always saw you as a stand-in lover.
00:59:54I'll walk myself, gentlemen.
00:59:57Oh, my lord will be here in five minutes.
01:00:00Please give him a coffee.
01:00:03Sir, what about this one?
01:00:05It's not what it looks like, okay?
01:00:06I hadn't decided.
01:00:07Decided to lie to me?
01:00:08No.
01:00:09This whole thing has been a lie.
01:00:10You've won, Emily.
01:00:12You don't have to pretend anymore.
01:00:14From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
01:00:17Please make sure Emily finds her way out.
01:00:19Time to go, miss.
01:00:21I know I deserve this.
01:00:24But I just wanted to tell you, I love you.
01:00:31Come on.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:38Oh.
01:00:45Oh.
01:00:47Ah.
01:00:49Ah.
01:00:53Ah.
01:00:55Shit.
01:00:56Ah.
01:00:58Yo, Alex.
01:01:00You signed for class for today?
01:01:01Professor Mary is super near sight.
01:01:03I don't think she noticed.
01:01:04Did you skip like every class last semester?
01:01:07Yeah, but I mean, what's the point of attendance?
01:01:10I'm going to inherit the family business anyways after I graduate,
01:01:13and there's like no point.
01:01:15You're in a rich business too.
01:01:16A rich family.
01:01:17Why are you from me?
01:01:19Dude.
01:01:21I'll cover it for you.
01:01:22Room 403?
01:01:23Yeah.
01:01:28Matthew?
01:01:31Here?
01:01:34Hi.
01:01:35I'm Emily.
01:01:38Hi.
01:01:39I'm...
01:01:41Matthew.
01:01:48So I always find Wilde's poems beautifully melancholic.
01:01:51Do you like them, Matthew?
01:01:53I do, actually.
01:01:55Yeah.
01:01:57You know, I've been wanting to...
01:02:01I've been wanting to tell you my answer.
01:02:02Actually...
01:02:02Oh, sorry.
01:02:03Actually, I have to go help my professor with the project, but let's meet up again soon?
01:02:08Yeah.
01:02:08Yeah.
01:02:09Okay.
01:02:09Okay.
01:02:10Yeah, see you soon.
01:02:10Bye.
01:02:14It's been like this since we were kids.
01:02:17Taking all the attention for yourself.
01:02:19Bro, why are you standing there?
01:02:22Sorry, I was just, uh...
01:02:23I was gonna come to ask if you wanted to give me something to eat.
01:02:29This is to celebrate the one month anniversary of our friendship.
01:02:34I'll keep it safe.
01:02:37Matthew, you were my first friend in college.
01:02:40That's sweet of you to say.
01:02:43I won't do that.
01:02:45But where are you going?
01:02:47Oh, my.
01:02:55Oh, my.
01:02:57Oh, my.
01:03:34Chris, find some guys and pressure that man Thomas, Emily's dad, pressure him for his
01:03:39debts. Use any means necessary.
01:03:51Oh, that's strange. Where is everybody?
01:04:00Oh, Alex. A girl named Emily says she wants to meet you in the park later.
01:04:13Hey, Matthew. Wait, she should have known my name is Alexander.
01:04:19You made me do this, Alex.
01:04:32Matthew, are you okay? Oh my God. Somebody help! Please!
01:04:46Matthew, are you okay? Oh my God. Somebody help! Please!
01:05:00Emily, I left you from the very beginning.
01:05:05Sir, the doctor said you have to rest.
01:05:07Where is she? Where'd she go?
01:05:10She just ran out, sir.
01:05:11Go find her. Start an investigation on Matthew and the Deville family.
01:05:20What is going on with me? Why am I so sad?
01:05:25I thought this was what I wanted.
01:05:32Okay. We're going to confront our feelings. We're going to talk to him and make everything clear.
01:05:39Yeah, I'm not going to miss my chance.
01:05:44Emily!
01:05:45I remember everything from three years ago. I took my roommate's place to attend his class and I never had
01:05:50the chance to tell you.
01:05:53I'm your Matthew. We've always loved each other.
01:05:55But as you know, my real name is Alex.
01:06:00I've never gotten you out of my head. I've missed you so much. I love you.
01:06:09You two can stop the tragic love story now.
01:06:13You've been lucky getting away from me. I'm not going to let it happen this time.
01:06:28Watch out!
01:06:32Watch out!
01:06:33Alexei, don't you?
01:06:39Dammit!
01:06:40Didn't I already pay off these cops?
01:06:48What are you doing?
01:06:50What are you doing?
01:06:51You're under arrest for attempted murder
01:06:53and human traffic.
01:06:55Bullshit!
01:06:56Give me no evidence!
01:06:57You have the right to remain silent.
01:06:59Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
01:07:03You have the right to an attorney
01:07:04and that attorney can be present at any questioning.
01:07:06If you do not afford an attorney,
01:07:08one will be provided at the government's expense.
01:07:12Alexander's assistance provided us with all the evidence
01:07:14linking you and the DeVille family to human trafficking
01:07:16through the gambling den.
01:07:18It will also prove that you intentionally ran someone over
01:07:20two years ago.
01:07:21So you and the DeVille family
01:07:23will most likely be sitting in front of the birthing room real soon.
01:07:25Alexander!
01:07:26I hate you!
01:07:28I hate you!
01:07:29I hate you!
01:07:45I hate you!
01:07:47Hey!
01:07:48Hey!
01:07:49You okay?
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:51You're that nightmare again?
01:07:53Yeah, yeah, but I'm just glad I didn't lose you.
01:07:56Well, it's time to get up.
01:07:57Got a lot to do today.
01:07:59Got to go pick out a venue for the wedding.
01:08:02Got to go get you to try on some dresses.
01:08:05The butlers got several options based on what you mentioned last time.
01:08:09But first, I want to ask you something.
01:08:22Will you marry me?
01:08:26Yes.
01:08:27Yes.
01:08:35You know, I think we can delay our plans just a little bit.
01:08:38Oh, um, hold on.
01:08:41Just a second.
01:08:42Before we continue.
01:08:44I need, I need some clarity on something.
01:08:48Ask me anything.
01:08:51Okay, this legendary Bella.
01:08:55Who is she?
01:08:59Come with me.
01:09:00Come on.
01:09:05So,
01:09:07when I was a kid,
01:09:08my parents had high expectations for me
01:09:10and I never really had any friends.
01:09:12But I had Bella.
01:09:15Whenever I felt sad
01:09:17or like I couldn't keep going,
01:09:19thinking of Bella giving me hope again.
01:09:23Why am I jealous listening to this right now?
01:09:27When I started high school,
01:09:29I never really got to see Bella.
01:09:30My parents wanted me to focus on my studies.
01:09:32So, they separated us.
01:09:35I was mad, but I couldn't argue with them.
01:09:38How could your parents do that to you?
01:09:40Thankfully, I moved on
01:09:41and you've become the new light of my life.
01:09:47But here we are.
01:09:49What?
01:09:50This is Bella,
01:09:52my childhood companion.
01:09:54I'll never forget her.
01:09:59I don't think anybody will ever forget Bella.
01:10:03Definitely not.
01:10:04I don't mind.
01:10:06I don't think anybody will ever forget Jennifer.
01:10:11I don't know.
01:10:13I don't know.
01:10:14I don't know.
01:10:16I don't know.
01:10:17I'm sorry.
