Have you ever ignored the obvious?
Alex knew his wife was cheating on him for a while. But since they had a baby together, he decided to turn a blind eye to her affair, hoping to somehow preserve their family. Alas, Mary started ignoring her own child and spending nights with her lover. Still, Alex hoped to avoid divorcing the mother of his baby.
So, he hired detectives who’d help him find out if there was any chance of Mary coming back to him.

00:02Thanks for warming it up.
00:04No way!
00:06Honey?
00:09Is everything alright?
00:11No, that's my wife.
00:20I have something for you.
00:22It's gorgeous.
00:25She says she was at work.
00:34For a woman like you,
00:35I'd bring a star from the sky.
00:37Lizzie?
00:39Alex, are you following me?
00:42So that's what this is.
00:44I've been up three nights straight
00:45with a baby in my arms and you're here?
00:48Cuddling up to God knows who.
00:50Actually, he's my ex.
00:52It's ten.
00:53And we are just having dinner.
00:55And since when do exes
00:57give each other such expensive necklaces?
01:01Well, when your husband is poor,
01:04someone has to.
01:07Hey buddy, don't worry.
01:09I give these gifts to everyone.
01:10Want me to pick something for you?
01:12Take your hands off.
01:13What's wrong with you?
01:14You just rushed in here and what?
01:16Ruin everybody's mood, huh?
01:19Stan, let's get out of here.
01:21And let's take a ride in your sports car.
01:24What?
01:25Wait!
01:26What about the baby?
01:29Listen, I need to rest, okay?
01:31And you, you'll take care of her.
01:34Alright?
01:35Come on.
01:36Come on.
01:41So, what?
01:45They were just having dinner, right?
01:47I've been turning a blind eye to these dinners for a month.
01:51I thought it would help her get through postpartum depression,
01:54but looks like she's just a gold digger.
01:58Could she leave us for money?
02:00There is someone who can check that.
02:03This agency deals with chillers.
02:21Bloody hell.
02:23Sorry.
02:38No sweat today, isn't it?
02:42Whoa!
02:46Guys, come out.
02:47She's gone.
02:48Nice work.
02:49Age wrecked.
02:50There it is.
02:51I can't believe it's such a complicated plan just to get my wife's phone.
02:55That was nothing.
02:56You should see how we expose all the cheaters.
02:58Rod photo?
02:58Yeah.
03:01Well, then, let's see what she's been texting her ex about.
03:06Yep, there it is.
03:11Wait.
03:12Now, what?
03:13What is it?
03:14Empty no chats with her, see?
03:16So, they're not texting?
03:17Well, they've been texting.
03:18You just deleted the chats afterwards.
03:19So, what now?
03:20I need to know if she still cares about me and the baby.
03:23Then, we move to plan B.
03:25So, Dean.
03:26You can break into a CEO's office.
03:28Are you kidding, Greg?
03:32I've had it figured out a long time ago.
03:37Alright?
03:49Alright?
04:15Who are you?
04:17And who led you into my office?
04:20Excuse me, I don't need permission to go anywhere.
04:25I'm from Mr. Sykes.
04:27Sykes, who the hell is that? I'm calling security.
04:29Oh, so you don't know who Mr. Sykes is?
04:32Okay.
04:35I thought you were a real businessman.
04:37All right, then.
04:38Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, you mean Sykes, Mr. Sykes,
04:42Forbes number one businessman, right?
04:45Of course I know him.
04:46I thought you meant someone else.
04:48Welcome.
04:50No worries.
04:51No problem.
04:53Would you mind making me some coffee?
04:55Yeah, of course.
04:56Black?
05:06Have a seat, please.
05:12So, uh, what brings you here?
05:15Long story short, Mr. Sykes wants your company.
05:18What?
05:19Uh, but it's not for sale.
05:22I inherited from my father, so...
05:25Yeah, Mr. Sykes knows about that.
05:26That's why he...
05:37He's offering you this amount.
05:43I'll do it.
05:44Where do I sign?
05:46There's one condition.
05:48Well, Mr. Sykes believes that a family-oriented company should be run by someone happy in marriage.
05:57Um...
05:57So he wants...
05:59To have dinner with you tonight.
06:02Along with your wife.
06:04Yeah, I totally agree, but...
06:07I don't have a wife, no.
06:10Oh, gosh.
06:10Well then, uh, everything's off.
06:12No, no, no.
06:12Wait, wait, wait.
06:13Please.
06:14Man, you misunderstood.
06:16I mean, I don't have a wife here.
06:19I mean, in the city.
06:21But she'll be right back tonight.
06:24Good.
06:25No problem.
06:26All right.
06:27Then, uh, yeah.
06:28Mr. Sykes will be expecting you.
06:29Yeah.
06:33Goodbye.
06:39I need to find myself a wife for tonight.
06:44Fast.
06:46Mindy, I need your help.
06:50Hey, where's my secretary?
06:52She quit.
06:53Won a million dollars in the lottery.
06:58And said she never wants to work in this hellhole again.
07:02What?
07:03What?
07:04Oh, okay.
07:04To hell with her.
07:05What about our accountant, Laura?
07:07Is she in here?
07:08Um, didn't you here?
07:10Oh.
07:11Laura was diagnosed with an unknown illness.
07:14She's on medical leave.
07:15Here's her doctor's note.
07:18Are you kidding me?
07:19What about, uh, Sonia, Katie, uh, Mia?
07:24Someone's gotta be here.
07:25Uh, no.
07:27All the women, for some strange reason, didn't come to work.
07:30How is that even possible?
07:32Damn it!
07:33Ah, okay, wait.
07:34Uh, the women didn't show up, right?
07:37But, what about the older ones?
07:40I mean, our, uh, our cleaning lady.
07:42Is she here?
07:43Mrs. White?
07:44Yeah.
07:44Yeah, she was around this morning.
07:46Cut.
07:50Mrs. White?
07:53Mrs. White, are you in there?
07:55Can you hear me?
07:56Open up!
07:58What kind of workers are these?
08:01Am I supposed to find the wife on the street now?
08:13Greg.
08:14Yeah.
08:15All the girls in the office were taken care of.
08:18Yeah, your turn.
08:23Don't tell me you are living already, darling.
08:27We had such a good time.
08:34The things we do for love.
08:44What do I do?
08:46Who should I invite to dinner?
08:55All your problems will be solved by your ex.
09:00What the hell?
09:02Oh, my God.
09:05You'll regret it!
09:06Yeah!
09:07I'll have a complaint against you!
09:09Lizzie?
09:10What are you doing here?
09:12Oh, Stan!
09:13I was supposed to have a manicure appointment,
09:15but this driver, this idiot, he typed the wrong address!
09:18This is a sign.
09:19A gift of a fate.
09:20What are you talking about?
09:21Lizzie, I need your help tonight.
09:23Pretend to be my wife.
09:24What?
09:25Stan, no, I can't.
09:27I promised my husband to take care of our daughter.
09:29Lizzie, I really need this.
09:31I'll pay you money.
09:33Oh.
09:36Well, how can I refuse after all your gifts?
09:41Well, but I need to tell my husband that I'll have a meeting with a friend.
09:50Let's start a test.
09:55Okay.
09:58All good?
09:59Yes.
10:01Nice.
10:02Check.
10:03One, two.
10:03One, two.
10:04Check, check.
10:04Yep, it works fine.
10:05All good?
10:06Yeah.
10:11All right, everybody.
10:11Get to your position.
10:13Dean just said that the lovebirds will be here any minute now.
10:16Okay.
10:17Let's see if your wife can walk away from you and the baby.
10:22I'm not sure if I should do this.
10:28Alex, I understand that this is so hard for you.
10:32But your daughter will suffer if you don't settle this here and now.
10:39Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
10:41So, please, don't call up the test.
10:47All right.
10:53Let's do it.
10:54Nice.
10:57So, I shut down his business.
11:02Oh, look at the two of you.
11:04A perfect couple.
11:06So, where'd you get married?
11:10Vegas.
11:10Miami.
11:10Miami.
11:13Sorry?
11:16We celebrated in two places.
11:17First in Vegas.
11:19Then in Miami.
11:20Oh, that's so romantic.
11:21Look at you.
11:22Yeah.
11:24So, do you have any kids?
11:25No, none.
11:29So, are you counting in both cities again?
11:31No, listen.
11:32I just have a kid from the previous marriage.
11:35Okay.
11:36A daughter.
11:37But her father was such a loser.
11:38Oh, really?
11:40Yeah.
11:40Yeah, you know, sometimes I'm just thinking that she would be a better kid if she had another father.
11:47Yeah.
11:48I see.
11:52So, it'd be better if it were someone else instead of me.
11:55She's wrong.
11:56You're a wonderful father.
11:59So, why are we talking just about ourselves?
12:03Maybe you can tell us some interesting facts about you?
12:06Well, what are you doing?
12:07Oh, man.
12:08This is Mr. Sykes.
12:09Everyone knows everything about him.
12:12Oh, but I don't.
12:14Actually, I'm following the richest people of this country, but I have never seen your face before.
12:20Well...
12:20So, how can I Google you, huh?
12:24Well, you can't.
12:25I reached out to Google and I asked them to block any searches on myself.
12:29I just don't like publicity.
12:30But there must be somewhere I can find you.
12:34Actually, I want to know more about your business.
12:38What's your full name?
12:39Uh, well...
12:40You know, it's complicated and it's long and it's difficult to spell.
12:45Oh, it's okay.
12:46Just spell it out.
12:47I'll type it.
12:48Well, it's, uh...
12:52Dan, Dan!
12:53What?
12:54Looks like things aren't... not going to plan.
12:56She spelled exposed us, that's why.
12:58You don't prepare any fake aloe profiles?
13:00No.
13:01No, but there was no need.
13:02Stan fell for everything back at the office.
13:04We didn't think that she would ruin this.
13:08I have an idea.
13:09What?
13:10Really?
13:11Well, it's, uh...
13:13Robert.
13:14My name's Robert.
13:16Robert Benjamin Sykes?
13:18Uh, yeah.
13:19Oh my god, it's...
13:20It's really you?
13:21It is.
13:22I've always dream of meeting you.
13:24Are you kidding me?
13:25Oh my god, I'm sorry.
13:27Do you know how much it costs?
13:30Don't worry about it.
13:31I'll buy you a couple brand new ones.
13:32It's not a problem.
13:35Oh.
13:36Wow.
13:37You're such a generous man.
13:41Mm-hmm.
13:42How can I help you?
13:43Yes, uh...
13:45I hate to say this, but...
13:46We are closing in 15 minutes, so...
13:48You'll need to leave.
13:49No, I'm sorry.
13:51I don't think we're going anywhere.
13:52And you're not closing the restaurant.
13:59I am going to buy it.
14:02Please, give this to your boss.
14:08Wow.
14:10She's amazing.
14:11I mean, we should definitely offer her some job.
14:13Incredible girl.
14:17So you were about to Google me?
14:19No.
14:21What?
14:21Not now.
14:23Now I've learned everything that I wanted.
14:27Moving on to the main part?
14:30Yeah.
14:33Craig, it's time for the main course.
14:40You know, when I look at you...
14:43You're so wonderful.
14:45Are you okay?
14:47Please, take this one.
14:51You know, you just remind me of myself and my wife.
14:56She passed away a year ago.
14:58Oh, our condolences.
15:01Yes, thank you.
15:03After Irene died, I never thought I'd see true love again.
15:08And here it is, right in front of me.
15:10No.
15:14Yeah, I'm so lucky with Hera.
15:19So, will you buy my company?
15:24Even more.
15:26I'm going to take you to my headquarters in Fiji.
15:32Taking us?
15:33Yes.
15:34And you.
15:36You're going to be my vice president.
15:39And you don't have to worry about anything.
15:41Everything's going to be fantastic.
15:43Accommodations, all taken care of.
15:45You can have one of my houses.
15:47So, are you ready to leave everything behind and start a new life?
15:54Paradise.
15:55Wait, wait.
15:55What are you saying?
15:57Like, what do you mean, leaving everything behind?
15:59Yes, of course.
16:01Yeah, we'll do it.
16:02What are you saying?
16:03No, no.
16:04Listen.
16:04Listen.
16:05I've always loved you.
16:06And I love you now.
16:07And I always will.
16:08And I know you love me too.
16:09So, let's say yes.
16:11Wait.
16:11Let's discuss it just together.
16:13I don't want to wait another minute.
16:23Are you out of your mind?
16:26Kissing was never part of our plan.
16:29Listen.
16:29This jerk asked me to pretend to be his wife just to trick you.
16:33What?
16:34How dare you?
16:35Oh, sir, please.
16:36I can explain.
16:37Explain what, you liar?
16:39Just get out of here because you're digging the bigger hole for yourself.
16:46She passed the test.
16:48Everything's fine.
16:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
16:52Something's off.
16:54I think the test is known yet.
17:02Honey?
17:03Honey, please forgive me.
17:04Alex, what are you doing here?
17:06I'm a jealous fool.
17:08I doubted you.
17:09But now I know for sure you'd never betray me.
17:12And the baby.
17:13I wouldn't jump to that conclusion too quickly.
17:17What's going on?
17:20Looks like she dumped Stan for a bigger fish.
17:23And she gave me this.
17:27I want you?
17:29You really were ready to leave us?
17:31Alex, don't say nonsense.
17:35What do you think?
17:36Can I be happy with the poor husband, huh?
17:39But with the billionaire?
17:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:44I'm not a billionaire.
17:45I'm just playing one.
17:47You're way out of my budget.
17:49What?
17:51You hired him just to test me?
17:55Listen, you jerk.
17:57You're gonna regret this.
17:59I'll take our baby and you will never see her again.
18:02No, you won't.
18:03The evidence we've gathered here is enough to destroy you in court.
18:08What?
18:09And there's also a witness testimony.
18:11So you'd better to go out of here right now.
18:26In just these few days, you've done for me more than anyone.
18:31If there's any way I can repay you, just say it.
18:36Oh, well, you can invite me out for coffee.
18:41And since now, as I understand it, you're officially single.
18:46Okay.
18:47I suggest we have all dinner and celebrate it.
18:52It's on the house.
18:54Oh, I'd love to.
18:54But unfortunately, I can't join you guys.
18:58Dean and I will call to a new case.
19:01Ciao.
19:11Bye.
19:11Bye.
