00:00:00Annison is my guardian and my only family.
00:00:02After my parents passed away,
00:00:04Annison took over my trust fund
00:00:05and gained custody of me according to my parents' will.
00:00:07He made me think this was my home.
00:00:09He made me think he loved me.
00:00:11But today...
00:00:16No.
00:00:17He is going to marrying her?
00:00:20No, you can't do this.
00:00:22Don't do this, please.
00:00:23We will talk about this later. Just shut up now.
00:00:25How pathetic.
00:00:27Sorry.
00:00:31A soaked stray.
00:00:42You are not fine.
00:00:46I'm fine.
00:00:47Who are you?
00:00:49Dallas Cock.
00:00:52Take this.
00:00:53My beautiful fiancé.
00:00:55Close.
00:01:04Take me away from here.
00:01:06Please.
00:01:06If you leave with me, Eliza,
00:01:08you can never come back to this house.
00:01:11Good then.
00:01:12Get me out.
00:01:14Get me out.
00:01:26I need a shield.
00:01:27A wall, Annison can't climb.
00:01:31Marry me.
00:01:33You're drunk.
00:01:35And you're the only man he's afraid of.
00:01:37It's the only loophole in my father's will.
00:01:39Well...
00:01:43Sign.
00:01:45A marriage agreement?
00:01:47Your escape close.
00:01:50Done.
00:02:03Where am I?
00:02:05This isn't my room.
00:02:11Oh god.
00:02:13The contract.
00:02:13I actually did it.
00:02:16I did it.
00:02:16I did it.
00:02:20I did it.
00:02:20I did it.
00:02:31Eliza, there you are.
00:02:32My dad just sent me an insane amount of money.
00:02:35What are you talking about?
00:02:36He said to take you shopping.
00:02:39Why is my father spoiling you?
00:02:41Did something happen?
00:02:43No, I helped him with some translation work for a project.
00:02:48Translation?
00:02:49Right, whatever.
00:02:50We have orders.
00:02:51Come on.
00:02:52Orders for what?
00:02:53Where are we going?
00:02:55To your car.
00:02:55Or where it used to be.
00:02:57He called it a death trap, so I had it towed to a junkyard this morning.
00:02:59You're welcome.
00:03:04He said this is the replacement.
00:03:07Here.
00:03:08I can't take this.
00:03:09This is insane.
00:03:10You have to...
00:03:11Eliza Solomon?
00:03:11No, my dad.
00:03:12You sent it back.
00:03:12I heard she left a high party with some old billionaire.
00:03:19Stop staring and get in, Mrs. Cock.
00:03:22Don't call me that.
00:03:28I signed a contract with the devil, and now I'm driving his chariot.
00:03:34Everyone is talking about you vanishing.
00:03:36Claudine is posting quotes about trash taking itself out.
00:03:40Let her talk.
00:03:41Oh, I am.
00:03:42I'm leaving vomit emojis on every single post.
00:03:46Eliza!
00:03:47What is that on your neck?
00:03:49It's nothing.
00:03:49The car door hit me.
00:03:51Bullshit.
00:03:52That's a hickey.
00:03:53I've never seen any hickey on your body.
00:03:55Who is he?
00:03:56It's complicated.
00:03:58An older guy.
00:03:59Older?
00:04:01Like, Anison's age?
00:04:03Much older.
00:04:07Yes, Daddy?
00:04:08Right now?
00:04:09But we have class.
00:04:11Okay.
00:04:12Fine.
00:04:12We're coming.
00:04:13He wants us at the flagship score downtown, both of us.
00:04:15Both of us?
00:04:16Why?
00:04:16He says you need appropriate attire for a dinner tonight.
00:04:18Come on.
00:04:18You don't keep the bank waiting.
00:04:24He's obsessed.
00:04:25It's creepy.
00:04:26Good thing you have a new, older man to distract you.
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:30Good thing.
00:04:37Investment?
00:04:38Who is buying this for you, Eliza?
00:04:40It's portfolio diversification.
00:04:42I decided to stop being poor.
00:04:47Get out of my way!
00:04:55That platinum band.
00:04:57It looks cheap, Eliza.
00:04:59Is that the best your new benefactor could afford?
00:05:02This is what you're worth.
00:05:04Not that pathetic little shackle.
00:05:05Come home.
00:05:06I'll buy you ten of thee.
00:05:08I'm not for sale, Anson.
00:05:11Not for sale.
00:05:13I control your trust fund, Eliza.
00:05:14I can cut you off without a penny.
00:05:16Not anymore.
00:05:20As of 9.15 this morning, all assets within the Solomon Trust have been legally transferred
00:05:24to Miss Solomon's independent control.
00:05:25You no longer have signing authority, Mr. Hyde.
00:05:28I'll find out who is backing her.
00:05:30I will bankrupt him and leave him in the gutter.
00:05:33And then you'll come crawling back!
00:05:39He's going to try and ruin Dallas Koch.
00:05:44He's about to kick a steel wall and break his own foot.
00:05:50Okay, Spill.
00:05:53You're married.
00:05:54For real.
00:05:57I need a name, Eliza.
00:06:00Anson looked ready to kill someone back there.
00:06:01Promise you won't scream.
00:06:03Try me.
00:06:09It's...
00:06:11Dallas, your father.
00:06:17You're my stepmom?
00:06:19It's just a contract for protection.
00:06:21I needed to get away from Anson.
00:06:23And he offered.
00:06:27Oh my god.
00:06:29Anson's going to have a stroke.
00:06:30He's going to lose his mind.
00:06:32You're not mad?
00:06:33Mad?
00:06:34Eliza, I've been trying to get dad to date for five years.
00:06:38He's a workaholic robot.
00:06:40And you are perfect.
00:06:43But he's your dad.
00:06:44It's weird.
00:06:45He's lonely.
00:06:47And you need a tank to fight Anson.
00:06:50My dad isn't a tank.
00:06:52He's a nuclear submarine.
00:06:54We are going to destroy them, Eliza.
00:06:56We are going to bury Claude Lean and Anson.
00:07:02Don't thank me yet.
00:07:06Dad's credit card is crying out to be used.
00:07:09It's stepmommy support.
00:07:10I can't spend his money.
00:07:13I can't spend his money.
00:07:19See?
00:07:20See?
00:07:20He cares.
00:07:25He just doesn't want his asset damaged.
00:07:27It's a business deal.
00:07:29You are so blind.
00:07:33But that's okay.
00:07:35I see everything.
00:07:37I see everything.
00:07:51But sir, the merger details...
00:07:55Email them to me.
00:07:57Get out.
00:08:01You're distracted.
00:08:02Is it the market or a woman?
00:08:07The marriage license is filed.
00:08:09Sealed by a judge this morning.
00:08:10It's very deep, Dallas.
00:08:12Marriage?
00:08:12You?
00:08:13They call you the monk.
00:08:14Who is the lucky victim?
00:08:16Helaza Solomon.
00:08:18The hide ward.
00:08:19Smart.
00:08:19You gain leverage over hide sectors.
00:08:31She's terrified of me.
00:08:33You look like you eat puppies for breakfast.
00:08:36You need to woo her.
00:08:37Flowers.
00:08:38Dates.
00:08:38Talking.
00:08:39I don't woo.
00:08:41I acquire.
00:08:44Talking is inefficient.
00:08:45Anson Hyde is running a background check on the license number.
00:08:47He's hitting walls.
00:08:53Let him hit them.
00:08:54I want him to know she is untouchable.
00:08:56That she belongs to me.
00:08:58Azabel is with her.
00:08:59She's your buffer.
00:09:00She humanizes you.
00:09:02I'm leaving early.
00:09:04The king leaves the castle before 8 p.m.
00:09:06It must be love.
00:09:23Hi, Dad.
00:09:24We bought the whole city.
00:09:24You're welcome.
00:09:26Did you?
00:09:27Thank you for everything.
00:09:29The car.
00:09:30The help.
00:09:31It is what a husband does.
00:09:33Gross.
00:09:34Let's eat.
00:09:35I'm starving.
00:09:36Welcome home, Mrs. Coke.
00:09:40Eat.
00:09:41Anson was a total psycho, Dad.
00:09:43You need to destroy him.
00:09:44Like, biblical destruction.
00:09:46It is being handled.
00:09:47Please don't hurt the company.
00:09:48My parents' legacy.
00:09:49Solomon Industries.
00:09:50I won't touch Solomon Industries.
00:09:51I will only target Hyde's personal assets.
00:09:53How did you know the difference?
00:09:55The structures are mixed.
00:09:56Do my due due diligence.
00:10:00Mr. Kosh, there is a Mr. Anson Hyde in the lobby.
00:10:03He is demanding to see Eliza.
00:10:07He found me.
00:10:08He always finds me.
00:10:10Tell him if he is not off the property in 60 seconds, he will be arrested for trespassing.
00:10:17And tell him if he shouts again, I will buy the building he lives in and evict him.
00:10:21He won't leave.
00:10:22He's persistent.
00:10:23He is Agnit.
00:10:24And I am the windshield.
00:10:27Eat your dinner, Eliza.
00:10:28He cannot reach you here.
00:10:30The elevator requires a retinal scan.
00:10:33Okay.
00:10:42What do you want, Anson?
00:10:47Tell me who she married.
00:10:49I know you're hiding her.
00:10:57You think you can bribe me with her own stolen property?
00:11:00How pathetic are you?
00:11:02She is mentally unstable.
00:11:03She needs her family.
00:11:04You aren't family.
00:11:05You're a jailer.
00:11:09She is happy.
00:11:10And she is way out of your league now.
00:11:12Bye, loser.
00:11:13Bye.
00:11:15Bye.
00:11:16Bye.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:20Bye.
00:11:21Vance, initiate a short position on Hyde Consolerated.
00:11:24Dallas, that's a declaration of war.
00:11:25The market will react.
00:11:27Release the opposition research.
00:11:33I want their credit lines frozen by morning.
00:11:37Burn it down.
00:11:39And we are following a developing story this hour.
00:11:43Dallas did this.
00:11:50You didn't have to do that.
00:11:51He annoyed my daughter.
00:11:53And my wife.
00:11:54I'm not worth a stock war.
00:11:55You're probably losing money, too.
00:11:59You undervalue yourself, Eliza.
00:12:01Stop doing that.
00:12:05Pack a bag.
00:12:08Where are we going?
00:12:10Away.
00:12:11This city is too loud.
00:12:12And I want to show you something.
00:12:25Where are we going?
00:12:26You still haven't told me.
00:12:28Maple Lake.
00:12:31Maple Lake?
00:12:32My parents, we went there every summer.
00:12:34Before they died.
00:12:36I haven't been back since the accident.
00:12:39Aniston said it was too expensive to keep the house.
00:12:41I know.
00:12:42It's a good place for privacy.
00:12:49I know.
00:13:05This is beautiful.
00:13:07I didn't know you had a place here.
00:13:08I bought it three years ago.
00:13:10The master suite is yours.
00:13:14And you?
00:13:17I have work to finish in the study.
00:13:24This art.
00:13:26A print of a mochae I love.
00:13:31This sculpture like my father's.
00:13:33How...
00:13:34Morning time!
00:13:39Azela?
00:13:40What are you doing here?
00:13:41Dallas invited me.
00:13:43He said you might feel awkward being alone with him.
00:13:45He was right, wasn't he?
00:13:54My life's eyes were like me in the palace.
00:13:55It was like you made my love look to care.
00:14:01Come on, Eliza.
00:14:02You haven't seen the best part of the property yet.
00:14:14Oh my God.
00:14:16Winchester cathedrals.
00:14:18They were my mother's favorite flower.
00:14:21How are these even alive?
00:14:22They're impossible to grow in this climate.
00:14:24He hired some specialists from England.
00:14:26Says they're for the future lady of the house.
00:14:28But he's had this garden for years.
00:14:30I didn't even know him then.
00:14:31He knew you, Eliza.
00:14:32He knew you loved them.
00:14:39I'm gonna go find snacks.
00:14:41Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
00:14:51Why?
00:14:52Why these flowers, Dallas?
00:14:53Because they are resilient.
00:14:54They survive the frost.
00:14:56Like you.
00:14:57This wasn't about a business deal, was it?
00:14:59You didn't marry me for a deal?
00:15:01I married you because I couldn't watch you break anymore.
00:15:13Welcome home, Eliza.
00:15:18Come.
00:15:19We need to secure this.
00:15:20Tonight.
00:15:25The papers are ready, Mr. Cock.
00:15:29I want no doubts about where you belong.
00:15:31It's all yours, Eliza.
00:15:32Dad was just holding it for you.
00:15:33Like a really expensive storage unit.
00:15:35A home needs a solid foundation, Eliza.
00:15:37Something no one can ever take from you again.
00:15:38The deed to Maple Lake Estate.
00:15:40Please sign on the indicated line.
00:15:43File it immediately with the state registry.
00:15:45I want the electronic record updated within the hour.
00:15:48Done.
00:15:49It is legally yours.
00:15:50No one can take it from you.
00:15:51Not Anson.
00:15:53I need air.
00:15:54It's overwhelming.
00:16:07It was Anson.
00:16:09You shouldn't be here, Anson.
00:16:10This is private property.
00:16:12Did you really think you could disappear?
00:16:13I tracked Cow's helicopter.
00:16:15It wasn't hard.
00:16:15You think a piece of paper makes you safe?
00:16:17Marrying that machine?
00:16:18It makes me the owner.
00:16:19And it makes you a trespasser.
00:16:21Eliza, please.
00:16:22I'm trying to save you.
00:16:23Koch is a monster.
00:16:24He'll destroy you.
00:16:25Come back to the guest house.
00:16:26I'll dump Claudine.
00:16:28We can go back to the way it was.
00:16:29You are delusional.
00:16:31Don't make me force you to see reason, Eliza.
00:16:36Don't touch me!
00:16:38What did you give him, Eliza?
00:16:39What did you give Dallas Coe?
00:16:41What are you talking about?
00:16:44He doesn't marry orphans for love.
00:16:46Did you sell him your body?
00:16:47Or just your pride?
00:16:49He is my husband.
00:16:50Not my pimp.
00:16:51Husband?
00:16:51He's using you.
00:16:52He wants your father's hidden trust.
00:16:54The offshore assets.
00:16:55That's the only reason he picked you out of the gutter.
00:16:57You're just the key.
00:16:57I see the doubt in your eyes.
00:16:59You're just an expensive gold digger.
00:17:00Climbing the ladder.
00:17:01At least he pays for what he values.
00:17:03You just stole from me.
00:17:04My home.
00:17:05My life.
00:17:05My dignity.
00:17:09You belong to the Hyde family.
00:17:11You belong to me.
00:17:13Let go!
00:17:14I can forgive you.
00:17:15Just say you made a mistake.
00:17:17Just say you want to come home.
00:17:21You ungrateful little...
00:17:26You are trespassing on private property.
00:17:28Cease contact with the resident immediately.
00:17:30He doesn't love you!
00:17:32He's a machine!
00:17:33A cold, heartless machine!
00:17:35And you are a liar!
00:17:45You...
00:17:45You hit me.
00:17:47Get off my land.
00:17:48Mr. Hyde.
00:17:49Mr. Cox sends his regards.
00:17:50You'll regret this, Eliza!
00:17:52He'll throw you away when he's done!
00:17:55Dallas.
00:17:56No.
00:17:57It's not what you think.
00:17:59He grabbed me.
00:18:01Please.
00:18:02Don't look at me with those cold eyes.
00:18:07Dallas!
00:18:10You're the new lady of the house.
00:18:14The diamond bracelet.
00:18:15Is this a payment?
00:18:16A good buy-
00:18:17Mrs. Higgins!
00:18:18Where is he?
00:18:18Mr. Cox took the helicopter, ma'am.
00:18:20Urgent business in the city.
00:18:21He left.
00:18:22He saw Anston.
00:18:23He misunderstood and he just left.
00:18:25He's a machine, Eliza.
00:18:26No.
00:18:26He's not a machine.
00:18:28He's jealous.
00:18:33Dallas?
00:18:34You're soaking wet.
00:18:36I thought you went to the city.
00:18:37And let him get away with touching you?
00:18:39Your eyes.
00:18:40They're terrifying.
00:18:51Dallas.
00:18:57I couldn't leave.
00:18:58I got to the pad.
00:19:00But I couldn't leave what's mine unguarded.
00:19:02Is that all I am?
00:19:04Just something you own?
00:19:06You were with him.
00:19:08By the lake.
00:19:09He trespassed.
00:19:10I slapped him.
00:19:11I told him to leave.
00:19:11I saw him touching you.
00:19:12I saw crying.
00:19:14You were crying for him.
00:19:16Stop crying for him.
00:19:17I'm not crying for him.
00:19:18I'm crying because you left.
00:19:20Because you think I'd choose him.
00:19:22Every time I look away, I see you slipping back into the dark with him.
00:19:25I see the people I care about vanishing.
00:19:28You think this is a choice?
00:19:35What are you doing?
00:19:37I am tired of being the gentleman, Eliza.
00:19:41The contract says...
00:19:42The contract says you are my wife.
00:19:57Vanilla.
00:19:59You smell like vanilla.
00:20:00Not him.
00:20:01Good.
00:20:03Dallas, you need to go to your room.
00:20:05I want to sleep here.
00:20:08Just sleep?
00:20:09Nothing else?
00:20:13Unless you want something else, Mrs. Coach?
00:20:15No.
00:20:16Sleep.
00:20:17Just sleep.
00:20:23Don't move.
00:20:40I wasn't that drunk.
00:20:42The stumbling.
00:20:43The needliness.
00:20:45It was a performance.
00:20:47The only way I could hold you without you running away.
00:20:59The sheets are cool.
00:21:02Empty.
00:21:03Was last night a dream?
00:21:05Then the shower in my bathroom cut off.
00:21:10Dallas!
00:21:11Put clothes on!
00:21:13It's my house.
00:21:14It's my house.
00:21:16And my wife's room.
00:21:17The needy man from last night is gone.
00:21:19You were drunk.
00:21:21You violated the contract.
00:21:23I did.
00:21:24Clause 4.
00:21:25Respectful cohabitation.
00:21:27I checked the contract this morning.
00:21:29Clause 4 forbids public embarrassment.
00:21:32It says nothing about private consummation.
00:21:35You...
00:21:36You want to consummate?
00:21:39If I wanted to, Eliza, you wouldn't have slept so soundly.
00:21:48Get dressed.
00:21:50Breakfast in 20 minutes.
00:21:52What?
00:21:54And Eliza?
00:21:56You drool when you sleep.
00:22:00He's in total control!
00:22:05I need boundaries.
00:22:07Walls.
00:22:07No entering the private bedroom without knocking.
00:22:10No nudity.
00:22:10No confusing behavior.
00:22:13I need boundaries.
00:22:14Walls.
00:22:15Tap.
00:22:16Tap.
00:22:17Tap.
00:22:19She's writing new rules.
00:22:30We need to talk.
00:22:32Adam A.
00:22:33Personal space and conduct protocol.
00:22:35Is this necessary?
00:22:36Yes.
00:22:37You were inappropriate.
00:22:38Last night.
00:22:39And this morning.
00:22:40I was your husband.
00:22:41A contract husband.
00:22:42The agreement was for protection, not for cuddling or towels.
00:22:45Clause 2.
00:22:45No entering the bedroom without explicit invitation.
00:22:47And what if you invite me?
00:22:48I won't.
00:22:50Fine.
00:22:50I agree to your terms, Mrs. Koch.
00:22:52Just like that?
00:22:53I enjoy a challenge.
00:22:55I have a meeting in the city.
00:22:56Azalea will drive you back.
00:22:57Wait.
00:22:57Are we okay?
00:22:59We are married, Eliza.
00:23:01We are always okay.
00:23:05Morning, sunshine.
00:23:08Why does dad look like you won the lottery, and you look like you saw a ghost?
00:23:15Let's go back to the city.
00:23:17Now.
00:23:27Dad, you're home?
00:23:29That's mine.
00:23:31Azalea, go to your room.
00:23:35Dad, wait.
00:23:36Now!
00:23:43I just wanted to be safe.
00:23:48Safe from what?
00:23:50From breaking the contract.
00:23:52From complications.
00:23:54I didn't want to trap you.
00:23:56A child is a complication?
00:23:58For a fake marriage?
00:24:00Yes!
00:24:05Come with me.
00:24:19Take it.
00:24:24Dallas, please.
00:24:26Don't be like this.
00:24:28You want a contract?
00:24:29You want to be safe?
00:24:31Then prove to me that the thought of having my family is so repulsive you need medication to prevent it.
00:24:45Happy.
00:24:48Ecstatic.
00:24:51But remember this moment, Eliza.
00:24:53You hesitated.
00:24:54Because next time, there will be no pills.
00:24:57No contracts.
00:25:09Dinner is at seven.
00:25:11Don't be late.
00:25:17So, Dad.
00:25:19Eliza, this pasta is good.
00:25:22I have a project presentation at NYU tomorrow.
00:25:25I'll be on campus all day.
00:25:28Good luck.
00:25:49Look, everyone!
00:25:50It's the charity case with the sugar daddy car.
00:25:54Move, Celeste.
00:25:55Did you finally liquidate it your dignity for the lease?
00:25:56Or did you just find a lonely board member willing to sponsor you on your knees?
00:25:59I'd ask if you earned your tuition, but we all know your father liquidated three portfolios to cover your last
00:26:02rehab stint.
00:26:03Be careful throwing stones, Celeste.
00:26:04Your glass house is already heavily marketaged.
00:26:06You bitch!
00:26:07Don't.
00:26:08Let go of me!
00:26:13Ew.
00:26:14Is this what passes for entertainment here?
00:26:17Let her go, Chapman.
00:26:18My father would be very disappointed to hear someone under his protection is being harassed on campus.
00:26:21Under his protection?
00:26:22Touch her again, and I'll have Dallas short your father's holding company before the market closes.
00:26:25Don't make me bankrupt you over a campus tantrum.
00:26:27You're lying.
00:26:27She's a nobody.
00:26:28She's with me, which makes her somebody you don't mess with.
00:26:30Now get out of my sight.
00:26:31What was that under his protection stuff?
00:26:33The ultimate power move.
00:26:34It tells them everything they need to know.
00:26:35You're untouchable.
00:26:36I need to know the exact nature of her relationship with Dallas Kahn.
00:26:38Is she a guest?
00:26:38A mistress?
00:26:39Find out if he has any weaknesses.
00:26:40Real ones.
00:26:41You're mine, Eliza.
00:26:42Contract or not.
00:26:46Did you see her face?
00:26:47Celeste looked like she swallowed a whole lemon.
00:26:50It was intense, Az.
00:26:52My hands are still trembling.
00:26:54My daddy will hear about this!
00:26:57Did you enjoy your performance?
00:26:58She started it.
00:26:59She insulted Eliza in front of everyone.
00:27:01And your solution was to use the family name as a weapon?
00:27:03To announce to the entire university that Eliza is under cow protection?
00:27:06It worked.
00:27:07They were terrified.
00:27:08Celeste ran away.
00:27:09It was reckless.
00:27:10You drew a target on her back.
00:27:11Dallas, don't.
00:27:12She protected me when I was cornered.
00:27:14I do not need a teenager to protect my wife.
00:27:16No trust fund for a week.
00:27:17Your cards are frozen.
00:27:18Learn discretion.
00:27:18You're joking!
00:27:19I have a ski trip next week!
00:27:20Then you better start packing a lunch.
00:27:21Dismissed!
00:27:22You're a tyrant!
00:27:23This world eats people who are loud, Eliza.
00:27:26I need you safe, not famous.
00:27:29I needed to understand the man I married.
00:27:34I have bribes.
00:27:35Chocolate chip cookies.
00:27:36He's a mood swing king.
00:27:37One minute he's buying you a rose garden, the next he's Mr. Freeze.
00:27:40Is he always like this?
00:27:41Since the war, he came back different.
00:27:43He gets intense about control and safety.
00:27:44He's not crazy, Eliza.
00:27:45He's just terrified of losing things.
00:27:47If he feels like he's losing control of a situation, he snaps.
00:27:49Terrified.
00:27:50I wasn't dealing with a cold corporate machine.
00:27:53I was dealing with a volatile man with a damaged soul.
00:27:56No, just don't poke the bear.
00:28:04Mr. Cock has a gala dinner with the board tonight.
00:28:06You'll be dining alone, ma'am.
00:28:08That's fine, Mrs. Higgins.
00:28:09A quiet night is exactly what I need.
00:28:20Mr. Koch?
00:28:21The dinner?
00:28:22I thought...
00:28:23Cancelled.
00:28:24I prefer to dine with my wife.
00:28:26Cancelled?
00:28:27For me?
00:28:28It didn't make sense.
00:28:29You cancelled a board dinner?
00:28:30To eat pasta with me?
00:28:32Why are you really home, Dallas?
00:28:33To be a husband.
00:28:34Isn't that the role?
00:28:36I need to contribute.
00:28:37I can't just take from you.
00:28:39You contribute by existing, Eliza.
00:28:41That was the deal.
00:28:42No, that is not true.
00:28:43A real partnership should be equal.
00:28:44Even a contract marriage needs to have a fair exchange.
00:28:46I want to buy us new wedding bands.
00:28:47Would you want to buy rings?
00:28:48Yes.
00:28:49It is my duty.
00:28:50You provided the house and the protection.
00:28:51I should provide the symbol of our marriage.
00:28:52I want us to choose them together, even if they are very simple.
00:28:54Very well, then.
00:28:55I will let you handle it.
00:28:56Surprise me with what you find.
00:29:02No diamonds.
00:29:04No platinum.
00:29:06Not even the gold he's used to.
00:29:18I'll go to the jewelry district tomorrow.
00:29:20I'll find them myself.
00:29:25I'm back from my shopping trip.
00:29:27Going on a ski trip with friends.
00:29:28I thought you were grounded.
00:29:29He thinks I am.
00:29:30He kicked me out so you guys can have privacy.
00:29:32Don't worry.
00:29:33He'll assume I begged your friend to pay.
00:29:34Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
00:29:39You're home early again, Dallas.
00:29:41I live here.
00:29:42It's peaceful.
00:29:43You sent her away.
00:29:44She needs the mountains.
00:29:46And we need clarity.
00:29:49Mrs. Higgins?
00:29:50There are no onions.
00:29:52Dallas noted your preference in the household file, ma'am.
00:29:54No raw onions.
00:29:56You noticed?
00:29:57Anston never noticed.
00:29:59I noticed details, Eliza.
00:30:01It's good business.
00:30:02I...
00:30:02I got the things.
00:30:04Show me.
00:30:10They are...
00:30:11Simple.
00:30:11I know they aren't what you're used to, but...
00:30:18Fortune?
00:30:19And mine says prosperity.
00:30:20For our venture.
00:30:21To bring luck.
00:30:22I know it's just silver, not platinum.
00:30:24It is perfect.
00:30:27It is?
00:30:29Put it on me.
00:30:31Now.
00:30:41I will never take it off.
00:30:43But, Dallas.
00:30:44The secrecy.
00:30:46Everyone will see it.
00:30:48Let them see.
00:30:49Let them wonder.
00:30:52My turn.
00:31:04Come here.
00:31:09Dallas!
00:31:10Mrs. Higgins!
00:31:14Dismissed for the night.
00:31:16Look.
00:31:17Fortune and prosperity.
00:31:21This is not in the contract.
00:31:24Call it a slow adjustment period.
00:31:32Adjustment to what?
00:31:34To being mine.
00:31:37I...
00:31:38I should push you away.
00:31:41Clause 4.
00:31:44You bought me with silver.
00:31:46A steal.
00:31:47I thought you liked good deals.
00:31:49I like the best deals.
00:31:52I like the best deals.
00:32:06I have homework.
00:32:14Stupid.
00:32:15He's a shark.
00:32:17Don't bleed in the water.
00:32:26Hello, Mrs. Hyde.
00:32:27How?
00:32:28Wester, Raquel,
00:32:29Intergram,
00:32:29and you,
00:32:29Rioshover.
00:32:30I've been busy.
00:32:32Anson and Claudine's
00:32:33engagement gala
00:32:33is this Saturday.
00:32:35I don't think I should go.
00:32:39You will do
00:32:39as you're told.
00:32:44You wouldn't?
00:32:45I hope you understand
00:32:46this is a last resort.
00:32:47I suggest you choose wisely.
00:32:49Because I will do
00:32:51whatever it takes
00:32:52to protect my family.
00:32:53That's blackmail.
00:33:06Eliza?
00:33:12What happened?
00:33:14Anson's engagement party.
00:33:16I'm invited.
00:33:18We are going.
00:33:20No.
00:33:21I have to do this alone.
00:33:26I'm going to the gala alone.
00:33:30Excuse me?
00:33:33Victoria is holding
00:33:34my mother's journals hostage.
00:33:35I have to retrieve them,
00:33:36Dallas.
00:33:37And I must do it alone.
00:33:38I am your husband.
00:33:40I don't let my wife
00:33:40walk into a hostile room
00:33:41unescorted.
00:33:42If you walk in with me,
00:33:43Anis will turn this
00:33:44into a media circus
00:33:44targeting you.
00:33:45I will not let you
00:33:46become his headline.
00:33:47I don't care about headlines.
00:33:49I can crush him
00:33:50before the appetizers
00:33:50are served.
00:33:51I know you can.
00:33:52But this is my mess
00:33:53to clean up.
00:33:54Please, let me
00:33:54close this door myself.
00:33:57Fine.
00:33:58Go alone.
00:34:07Zane.
00:34:08What is an appropriate
00:34:09engagement gift
00:34:10for an enemy?
00:34:11A bomb?
00:34:12Or a better car than his?
00:34:14Something that says
00:34:15I won.
00:34:16Send a big check
00:34:17to a charity
00:34:17in his fiancée's name.
00:34:18One for victims
00:34:19of domestic emotional abuse.
00:34:20It's classy and insulting.
00:34:21Done.
00:34:22Make it substantial.
00:34:25Also,
00:34:26I need to know about
00:34:28protection.
00:34:29Bodyguards?
00:34:29I'm sending my top operatives
00:34:30to shadow her.
00:34:31No.
00:34:32Contraception.
00:34:33Brands.
00:34:33The best ones.
00:34:34The monk is breaking his vows.
00:34:35The ice king is melting.
00:34:36Shut up.
00:34:37Just send me the info.
00:34:38And get me a live feed
00:34:39of the Plaza's ballroom security.
00:34:40I want eyes on her.
00:34:59You look like a prisoner
00:35:00awaiting execution.
00:35:03It's just a party.
00:35:04Then why won't you let me drive you?
00:35:06Why won't you let me stand beside you?
00:35:08We already discussed this.
00:35:15Is it my protection
00:35:17you don't want?
00:35:18Or is it me?
00:35:20What are you talking about?
00:35:22Are you ashamed
00:35:23that you sold yourself to me?
00:35:24Do you feel dirty, Eliza?
00:35:31No!
00:35:33Dallas, that's not it!
00:35:34Then prove it.
00:35:35Let me claim you.
00:35:39You are going to see him tomorrow.
00:35:41I need to know
00:35:41you are coming back to me.
00:35:42I am your wife, Dallas.
00:35:46Words.
00:35:52Dallas!
00:35:55Kiss me back, Eliza.
00:35:57For once,
00:35:58kiss me like you mean it.
00:36:07Dallas, not here.
00:36:09Not against the books.
00:36:10Where?
00:36:11The bedroom?
00:36:12Finally?
00:36:14Yes.
00:36:37Dallas, look what you did!
00:36:39I have the gala tonight!
00:36:40Makeup exists.
00:36:42This is not a makeup problem.
00:36:44You did this on purpose.
00:36:47Maybe I got carried away.
00:36:49Carried away?
00:36:50You chewed on me!
00:36:51My gown is strapless!
00:37:04Yes!
00:37:12You are hiding my work!
00:37:15I am hiding your vandalism.
00:37:18Go to your party.
00:37:20But remember what is under that dress.
00:37:23And remember who you belong to
00:37:25when you see him.
00:37:29I know.
00:37:32Whoa!
00:37:33You look like a sexy nun!
00:37:34Or a very chic vampire!
00:37:35Don't ask.
00:37:36I came back early.
00:37:37I had a bad feeling about you
00:37:38going to that viper's nest alone.
00:37:39Good thing I did, right?
00:37:41Just drive.
00:37:48You actually came.
00:37:49And dressed for a funeral.
00:37:51How fitting.
00:37:52I'm mourning your son's freedom, Victoria.
00:37:54Enjoy the food, dear.
00:37:55It's more than you can afford these days.
00:37:58I need a drink after that.
00:37:59Be right back.
00:38:05Eliza.
00:38:10You look different.
00:38:13Closed off.
00:38:14I'm not the same person, Anson.
00:38:17I heard rumors about you and Kosh.
00:38:19Tell me you didn't marry him.
00:38:21It's none of your business.
00:38:23He is dangerous, Eliza.
00:38:24Kosh Enterprise will ruin you.
00:38:26He will chew you up and spit you out.
00:38:28You ruined me first, Anson.
00:38:29He is putting me back together.
00:38:31I did it for the family.
00:38:32For us.
00:38:33If I married Claudine,
00:38:34I could get the capital to-
00:38:35Darling!
00:38:39And?
00:38:40Eliza.
00:38:41So glad you could make it.
00:38:43We were just about to cut the cake.
00:38:44You must join us.
00:38:45Front row.
00:38:46Since you're...
00:38:47Family.
00:38:48I'll stay here.
00:38:51Nonsense.
00:38:52Come.
00:39:11For our dear sister, Eliza,
00:39:14a special custom-crafted champagne cocktail,
00:39:17a sweet start to a new chapter
00:39:19to bury the pension.
00:39:23It's rude to refuse the bride, Eliza.
00:39:25Just a toast.
00:39:26If I refuse,
00:39:27I'm the bitter, jealous ex
00:39:28making a scene at the wedding.
00:39:29The headlines will destroy
00:39:30the dignity I have built.
00:39:31Fine.
00:39:32Congratulations.
00:39:35Imported Philippine mango extract.
00:39:37I hope you have your EpiPen,
00:39:39you pathetic stray.
00:39:43Did you say mango?
00:39:45Mango?
00:39:45Yes!
00:39:46A custom blend.
00:39:48Eliza is allergic.
00:39:51Do not make a scene.
00:39:52Do not ruin this merger.
00:39:56He promised to protect me,
00:39:57but he chose his family's PR over my life.
00:40:04Eliza!
00:40:07Oh my god!
00:40:08Oh my god!
00:40:09Help!
00:40:09Someone get a medic!
00:40:11He knew.
00:40:12He heard her say it,
00:40:13and he just watched me drink poison.
00:40:15There's no regret.
00:40:16Only the death of any lingering illusion
00:40:18about Anson Hyde.
00:40:19Do something!
00:40:20Call 911!
00:40:20She's dying!
00:40:27Eliza.
00:40:28Look at me.
00:40:33Why?
00:40:34Why does he have that?
00:40:36This will hurt.
00:40:40Free!
00:40:44She's not breathing!
00:40:46Dad, she's not breathing!
00:41:00Dad, she's not breathing!
00:41:08There.
00:41:09Breathe.
00:41:10Step back!
00:41:11We've got it from here!
00:41:13I'm taking her.
00:41:15Clear the way.
00:41:17Azebla, with me.
00:41:18Now.
00:41:20You just let her die?
00:41:21You're pathetic!
00:41:38The air smells of disinfectant and floor wash.
00:41:41The universal smell of hospitals.
00:41:43My throat feels raw,
00:41:45like I swallowed broken glass.
00:41:47My thigh throbs where the needle went in.
00:41:49Don't move.
00:41:54Water.
00:42:00He held a cup to my lips.
00:42:02Why did you eat it?
00:42:04You knew what it was.
00:42:05I saw your hesitation.
00:42:06You knew.
00:42:06To shut them up.
00:42:08To leave with dignity.
00:42:09If I made a scene, they would have won.
00:42:12Dignity?
00:42:12You almost died, Eliza.
00:42:14You went into respiratory arrest.
00:42:16You stopped breathing!
00:42:17For his ego?
00:42:18He didn't stop her.
00:42:19He knew I was allergic and he just watched.
00:42:22Why did you ever love him?
00:42:23For a while, he made me believe I wasn't just a charity case.
00:42:26He gave me a cage and convinced me it was a home.
00:42:29I would have given you the world.
00:42:30What?
00:42:31Forget the past.
00:42:32He is history.
00:42:33I am here now.
00:42:35I am the one holding your hand.
00:42:37He laced his fingers with mine.
00:42:39His grip firm, grounding.
00:42:41I am the one who breathed for you.
00:42:43My heart started racing and the monitor beside the bed betrayed me, beeping faster and faster.
00:42:47Your heart agrees.
00:42:48It's the medication.
00:42:50Epinephrine causes tachycardia.
00:42:51Liar.
00:42:53Rest.
00:42:54I'm not leaving.
00:43:02You knew!
00:43:03You knew about the mango!
00:43:04I told you years ago!
00:43:06I thought she was faking it for attention, darling.
00:43:08You know how dramatic she is.
00:43:09Always the victim.
00:43:10Her throat closed up!
00:43:11Did you hear that sound?
00:43:12Did you hear her gasping?
00:43:13But she didn't.
00:43:14And look around, Anson.
00:43:15She ruined my engagement party.
00:43:17The press will have a field day.
00:43:19Ex-fiance fakes emergency to steal brides scarred.
00:43:22So low.
00:43:23Get out of my sight.
00:43:25What did you say?
00:43:26I said, get out!
00:43:28Fine.
00:43:29Pow it all you want.
00:43:30But remember who holds the purse strings for your merger, Anson.
00:43:35I have to go to the hospital.
00:43:37I have to explain.
00:43:41Stupid machine!
00:43:42Stupid night!
00:43:43Give me my caffeine!
00:43:43It requires patience, not violence.
00:43:45I'm Azalea.
00:43:46Dr. Liam Sumner.
00:43:47I'm the resident on duty checking on the Anophalexis patient in 302.
00:43:49Eliza?
00:43:50You're her doctor?
00:43:51She was my senior in college.
00:43:53I haven't seen her in a year.
00:43:54She's my friend.
00:43:55Can I go up with you?
00:43:56I was just heading back.
00:43:57Of course.
00:43:57Lead the way.
00:44:00I need to see Eliza Solomon.
00:44:01I'm Anson Hyde.
00:44:03Visiting hours are over for non-family.
00:44:05I'm the only family she has.
00:44:06Mr. Hyde, you are on the restricted list.
00:44:08You are not permitted on the premises.
00:44:09What?
00:44:10That's impossible!
00:44:11My family has a wing named after us in this hospital!
00:44:16Security to the lobby.
00:44:27Eliza, look who I found wandering the halls.
00:44:31Hey, Eliza.
00:44:32Long time no see.
00:44:33Liam!
00:44:34Oh my God!
00:44:35I haven't seen you since the symposium!
00:44:37And you are?
00:44:39Dr. Liam Sumner.
00:44:40I was pre-med.
00:44:41Eliza is my senior from college.
00:44:43Dallas Cone.
00:44:44The Dallas Cone?
00:44:45The billionaire?
00:44:47He's my...
00:44:47Boyfriend.
00:44:49Boyfriend?
00:44:50Oh, I see.
00:44:52Liam, please.
00:44:52Where's my chart?
00:44:53Right.
00:44:54Vital signs are stabilizing.
00:44:55You got lucky, Eliza.
00:44:56Whoever administered the n-nephrin hit the exact right muscle group.
00:44:59Saved your life.
00:45:00I did.
00:45:01Well done.
00:45:01All right, I'll let you rest.
00:45:02I have rounds to do.
00:45:06Boyfriend?
00:45:06Really?
00:45:07That's the lie we're going with?
00:45:08Would you prefer husband?
00:45:09Or perhaps master?
00:45:10Dallas!
00:45:11You said secrecy!
00:45:12Clause 7!
00:45:13He values his career too much to gossip.
00:45:14Besides, I didn't like the way he looked at you.
00:45:17He looked at me like a friend.
00:45:18He looked at you like a man who remembers you crying.
00:45:20I don't like men who have memories of you that I don't.
00:45:29Soft foods only for the next 24 hours.
00:45:31Your throat is still swollen.
00:45:34The oatmeal was tasteless.
00:45:36And after five spoonfuls, the pain was too much.
00:45:39I can't finish.
00:45:40It hurts to swallow.
00:45:41You need calories.
00:45:43I just can't.
00:45:51Dallas, that spoon is mine.
00:45:52Germs!
00:45:53We shared breath yesterday, Eliza.
00:45:55I literally blew air from my lungs into yours.
00:45:58The spoon is nothing.
00:46:00This felt too real.
00:46:01Too married.
00:46:02I had to push him away.
00:46:05Dallas, we need to review the contract.
00:46:07Now?
00:46:07Yes.
00:46:09The hospital bills.
00:46:10The ambulance.
00:46:12It's not in the agreement.
00:46:13I don't want to owe you extra fees.
00:46:14Fees?
00:46:15You think saving your life is billable hours?
00:46:17Isn't it?
00:46:18I'm an asset.
00:46:18You're just protecting your investment.
00:46:20My heart sank.
00:46:21He was leaving.
00:46:28I checked the ingredients.
00:46:30No mango.
00:46:30No poison.
00:46:32Is this a contract amendment?
00:46:34No.
00:46:35It's dessert.
00:46:36Eat it and shut up about the contract.
00:46:39I'm working now.
00:46:40Since you love business so much.
00:46:42He was angry.
00:46:43But he was still here.
00:46:44He refused to be pushed away.
00:46:48The man who stayed by my side all night was gone.
00:46:51In his place was a CEO in a crisp suit.
00:46:53The doctor says you can be discharged this afternoon.
00:46:55I have a meeting.
00:46:55Weston will stay outside your door.
00:46:57I'll see you at home.
00:46:58He left without a touch.
00:46:59I asked for business only, but it felt like ice in my veins.
00:47:02I need to see her.
00:47:03Get out of my way.
00:47:03Mr. Hyde, you are not permitted.
00:47:05Mr. Solomon has no brother on record.
00:47:06Hyde, you are embarrassing yourself.
00:47:09You!
00:47:09You're keeping her prisoner!
00:47:10Fine.
00:47:11Five minutes.
00:47:12Under supervision.
00:47:13I want to see this.
00:47:17Eliza, thank God.
00:47:19They wouldn't let me in.
00:47:20I was so worried.
00:47:24Anderson?
00:47:26Why you come here?
00:47:27It was Claudine.
00:47:27She's crazy.
00:47:28But you're okay now.
00:47:29Come home, Eliza.
00:47:30I'll take care of you.
00:47:31I almost suffocated to death on the carpet at the Plaza Hotel.
00:47:34You watched a woman try to murder me.
00:47:35You didn't call an ambulance.
00:47:37You didn't try to help.
00:47:38You just watched.
00:47:39Eliza, I froze.
00:47:40It was a mistake.
00:47:41I love you.
00:47:42I can fix this.
00:47:43There is nothing left to fix.
00:47:44Because there is absolutely nothing left between us.
00:47:48We are not family.
00:47:49We are not friends.
00:47:50We are less than strangers.
00:47:54Eliza, please.
00:47:55I made Claudine apologize.
00:47:56We can fix this.
00:47:57He spoke of fixing things, but all I could feel was the phantom burn in my throat.
00:48:00Fix what, Anson?
00:48:01My throat?
00:48:02Or the fact that you just stood there and watched her poison me?
00:48:04I...
00:48:04I froze.
00:48:06My mother grabbed my arm.
00:48:07But you know I love you.
00:48:08I've always loved you.
00:48:09You love owning me.
00:48:11You love having a pet.
00:48:12You are just like a brother to me, Aniston.
00:48:14Brother?
00:48:15I loved you.
00:48:16We were meant to be married.
00:48:18We were children.
00:48:19Then you chose Claudine and her money.
00:48:21My heart is closed to you.
00:48:22Please leave.
00:48:25It's him, isn't it?
00:48:26This capitalist vulture.
00:48:28He's brainwashing you.
00:48:30He doesn't love you.
00:48:33Careful, Hyde.
00:48:35Slander is an expensive crime.
00:48:37She's coming with me.
00:48:38Her trust, but everything is under my control.
00:48:41She is not your financial dependent.
00:48:43Then what is she?
00:48:44Your mistress?
00:48:47How much are you paying her to spread her legs from you?
00:48:54She is my wife.
00:48:56What?
00:48:58We are legally married.
00:48:59She is Mrs. Koch.
00:49:02Eliza?
00:49:03Tell me he's lying.
00:49:04Is this true?
00:49:06Yes.
00:49:07You married him?
00:49:08The enemy?
00:49:09Why?
00:49:11I married a man who knows how to use an EpiPan.
00:49:20Get out.
00:49:21Before I call the police for harassing my wife.
00:49:29My heart is racing wildly.
00:49:32You broke the contract.
00:49:34He needed a reality check.
00:49:35And you needed to be free.
00:49:38As long as he thought there was a chance, he would have kept coming back.
00:49:42Now he knows!
00:49:43He'll tell the press!
00:49:44My quiet life is over!
00:49:45He won't.
00:49:46Shame will keep him quiet.
00:49:48To admit his love married his worst enemy, it would destroy his reputation.
00:49:53He will bury this secret.
00:49:55I need to leave.
00:49:56This is too much.
00:50:02You're discharged.
00:50:04Change your clothes.
00:50:05Ah!
00:50:06I feel exposed.
00:50:08I feel naked.
00:50:10Dallas?
00:50:11You called me husband.
00:50:13You admitted it to him.
00:50:14I had to.
00:50:15To make him leave.
00:50:17Did it feel like a lie, Eliza?
00:50:18It did not feel like a lie.
00:50:20It felt like safety.
00:50:22It felt like the truth.
00:50:24It felt like electricity.
00:50:26It shot straight down her spine.
00:50:28Let's go home.
00:50:32He didn't say back to the penthouse.
00:50:34He said go home.
00:50:45I think I am ready to go now.
00:50:48No.
00:50:49You are still very weak.
00:50:50And the reporters are waiting.
00:50:53There are too many of them.
00:50:55If you walk, they will try to hurt you.
00:51:01If I carry you, they will stay away because they are afraid of me.
00:51:26Send the fake cars out first.
00:51:27Make the reporters chase the wrong vehicles right now.
00:51:40Please get in, Mr. Cox.
00:51:42The reporters are all chasing the wrong cars now.
00:51:47Now, Raider.
00:51:48The car is very quiet and very luxury.
00:51:51I am thinking about Anston.
00:51:53He looked very sad and completely broken when we left him.
00:51:56Why are you saying that?
00:51:57Do you feel bad for that man?
00:51:59No.
00:52:00I am just surprised.
00:52:02Anston always thought he was better and stronger than everyone else before.
00:52:05He finally knows he lost you.
00:52:07But it is too late for him.
00:52:08He's gone.
00:52:10You broke the rules by telling him about us.
00:52:13I should be angry at you for that.
00:52:15But I am just happy he can never bother me or touch me again.
00:52:18I promise you, Eliza.
00:52:20He will never be able to touch you again.
00:52:38I woke up in my own bed.
00:52:40The swelling in my throat was gone.
00:52:43Good morning, Mrs. Koch.
00:52:45Mr. Koch specially ordered an anti-inflammatory breakfast for you.
00:52:50Green smoothie.
00:52:51Joy.
00:52:55Eat.
00:52:55And we have appointments.
00:52:57Appointments?
00:52:57I'm fine.
00:52:58Allergist, nutritionist, and a tailor.
00:53:00A tailor?
00:53:01To replace the dress ruined by the needle and to reinforce the seams on your other clothes.
00:53:05You seem prone to medical emergencies.
00:53:08You don't have to control everything.
00:53:09I do when it's about your survival.
00:53:11Good morning.
00:53:12How's the patient?
00:53:13Oppressed.
00:53:14Dad's in general mode.
00:53:16Good luck.
00:53:16He has spreadsheets.
00:53:18In the car in ten minutes.
00:53:20He's extra tense today.
00:53:21Even for him.
00:53:22He's terrified, Eliza.
00:53:23Terrified?
00:53:23Dallas?
00:53:24I've never seen him so scared.
00:53:25When he came back from the war, he was broken.
00:53:27Losing people triggers his PTD.
00:53:29He controls everything because he thinks if he controls all the variables, no one dies.
00:53:32He fears the chaos that takes the people he loves.
00:53:34I'll go get ready.
00:53:37The fear of losing her is still there.
00:53:39A cold knot in my chest.
00:53:41I won't give her the job directly.
00:53:43I will open a door for her.
00:53:45She is a warrior.
00:53:46She just needs an arena.
00:53:54I had to build my own life so I could stand beside him, not behind him.
00:53:58Speak.
00:53:58You are vibrating.
00:54:00I want to apply to S&D Design for the junior restorer position.
00:54:03It is the best firm in the city.
00:54:05I know.
00:54:06I want to do this on my own merit.
00:54:07No handouts.
00:54:09Please, Dallas.
00:54:10No calls.
00:54:11I need to know I'm good enough on my own.
00:54:13As you wish.
00:54:14Eliza!
00:54:15Emergency!
00:54:16I need a plus one for the gallery opening tonight.
00:54:18I am busy tonight.
00:54:20Not you, old man.
00:54:21I meant Eliza.
00:54:22And I invited Liam.
00:54:26Dr. Sumner?
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:28He's dreamy.
00:54:29He's a doctor.
00:54:29And he kept asking about her.
00:54:31Azela, I'm married.
00:54:32To a contract.
00:54:33You need a backup plan for when the year is up.
00:54:35Liam is nice.
00:54:36There is no backup plan.
00:54:38Busy with what?
00:54:39Reviewing her portfolio.
00:54:40With me.
00:54:42Boring.
00:54:43Eliza, tell him you want to go.
00:54:44Liam is waiting.
00:54:47Actually, I really need to prepare for the interview.
00:54:49S&D is extremely competitive.
00:54:52Fine.
00:54:52I'll go with Liam alone.
00:54:53You two are no fun.
00:54:56I am his wife.
00:54:57Even if I feel like a Paul on his dangerous chessboard, I like being trapped by him.
00:55:06Azalea tricked me into this meeting with Liam.
00:55:08She called it networking for my big interview.
00:55:10But I knew it was dangerous.
00:55:12Eliza, it's good to see you outside the hospital.
00:55:15You too, Liam.
00:55:16Azalea said you know the HR manager at S&D, Graven Ross.
00:55:19The HR manager?
00:55:19Yes.
00:55:20We play squash.
00:55:21He's tough.
00:55:21Likes confidence.
00:55:23Don't let him smell fear.
00:55:24Confidence.
00:55:25Got it.
00:55:26Eliza, about your boyfriend.
00:55:28Azalea made it sound complicated.
00:55:30Is it serious?
00:55:34Liam, I'm married.
00:55:35To Dallas.
00:55:36Married?
00:55:37I thought Azalea only said it was complicated.
00:55:38It is complicated.
00:55:40But it's legal.
00:55:40And I take my vows seriously.
00:55:42Lucky guy.
00:55:42If he messes up, call me.
00:55:44I have to go.
00:56:01How was the strategy meeting?
00:56:03It was fine.
00:56:05Liam gave me some HR advice.
00:56:06I don't like other men touching my wife.
00:56:13Dallas, you're jealous.
00:56:15I am territorial.
00:56:23Now everyone will know who you belong to.
00:56:28No.
00:56:29I was thrashing in my sheets, trapped in a dream of Anacyn locking me in the Alec.
00:56:33Don't.
00:56:34Eliza, wake up.
00:56:37Who's there?
00:56:38It's me.
00:56:39You were having a nightmare.
00:56:40Hug me.
00:56:41Please.
00:56:43It was just a dream.
00:56:45I'm here.
00:56:47Don't leave.
00:56:48I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:57Whoa!
00:56:59Look.
00:56:59What are you talking about?
00:57:01Did you and Dallas?
00:57:02You know.
00:57:03What?
00:57:03No.
00:57:04It was mosquitoes.
00:57:06Bitten by mosquitoes.
00:57:09There are no mosquitoes in this house.
00:57:14Oh, this is good.
00:57:16Good luck at the interview today.
00:57:18Wear lipstick.
00:57:19Red.
00:57:19It's the color of war.
00:57:21What?
00:57:22That man, Ross, will try to intimidate you.
00:57:25Don't let him.
00:57:31I'm here for a chance.
00:57:32A chance to rebuild.
00:57:33Eliza Solomon, I'm here for the 10 a.m. interview for the junior restorer position.
00:57:37I'm sorry, Mrs. Solomon, I don't see your name on the list.
00:57:41I have the confirmation email right here on my phone.
00:57:43Is there a problem?
00:57:46Mr. Ross, this woman says she has an interview.
00:57:48Ah, the one with the connection to the Hyde scandal.
00:57:50His words hit me like a physical blow.
00:57:53The past I was so desperate to escape had followed me here.
00:57:55I'm applying as Eliza Solomon.
00:57:57My work has nothing to do with that.
00:57:58We've decided not to move forward.
00:58:00S&D requires discretion.
00:58:02Your public profile is too messy.
00:58:03Messy?
00:58:04I have a degree and a portfolio right here.
00:58:06This is unprofessional.
00:58:07We also received a character reference from Mr. Anson Hyde.
00:58:09He mentioned your volatile conduct.
00:58:11We can't take that risk.
00:58:12That is a lie.
00:58:13He's poisoning every well.
00:58:14You can see yourself out.
00:58:17Defeated, humiliated, every door was being slammed in my face.
00:58:26Mr. Ross, why are you harassing my candidate?
00:58:29Mrs. Kosh, she isn't qualified.
00:58:31I was just protecting the firm's reputation.
00:58:33Her portfolio came highly recommended.
00:58:35I'm looking forward to discussing it with her.
00:58:41Red lipstick.
00:58:43Bold.
00:58:43I like it.
00:58:44Come with me, Mrs. Solomon.
00:58:46The elevator is waiting.
00:58:48But, Ms. Kauch...
00:58:55Don't let small men block your path, dear.
00:58:58Yes, ma'am.
00:58:59And tell Dallas he owes me lunch.
00:59:01In that moment, inside that rising elevator, I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time.
00:59:05Hope.
00:59:09Show me what you can do.
00:59:11For a split second, the mask slipped.
00:59:14My philosophy is to preserve a building's soul while updating its function.
00:59:17I saw a flicker of something.
00:59:18Respect, perhaps?
00:59:20It was enough.
00:59:21You have talent.
00:59:22Raw, but real.
00:59:24Gavin was an idiot, but Anson Hyde is a powerful enemy.
00:59:27He made calls.
00:59:28I don't let my personal life affect my work.
00:59:31Good.
00:59:32Because if you work for me, you belong to S&D.
00:59:34Not Hyde.
00:59:35Not anyone else.
00:59:38I belong to myself.
00:59:40Correct answer.
00:59:42You're hired.
00:59:43I got it!
00:59:44Augustina hired me!
00:59:47She saved me from Gavin!
00:59:52I knew she would like you.
00:59:54I have a congratulations gift.
01:00:01Dallas, this is too much.
01:00:02I have a salary now.
01:00:04It matches the S&D dress code.
01:00:06Put it on.
01:00:13Did you call her?
01:00:17I may have mentioned that a talented artist was being unfairly blocked by petty politics.
01:00:21So I didn't get it on merit?
01:00:23You got the interview on my recommendation.
01:00:24You got the job on your merit.
01:00:26Augustina doesn't hire charity cases.
01:00:30For believing in me.
01:00:33Always.
01:00:43It's Anson.
01:00:45He knows.
01:00:49To your new job, Eliza.
01:00:50You are finally an art fixer.
01:00:52You worked hard and you deserve to be happy.
01:00:53I am so happy, Dallas.
01:00:54I truly am.
01:00:55I finally realized that Anson was the one who lied to Gavin about me.
01:00:58He tried to ruin my career even from the hospital.
01:01:00He is such a bad person.
01:01:01He is just a bad guy who breaks things when he can't have them.
01:01:05He is desperate because he knows he is losing control over you forever.
01:01:10Victoria Hyde is calling me.
01:01:11I really don't want to talk to her right now.
01:01:13She always has something bad to say to me.
01:01:14Just answer it.
01:01:15Let's see what lies she is telling today.
01:01:17We should know what they are doing so they can't hurt us.
01:01:20Why are you calling me?
01:01:21I told you I am done with your family forever.
01:01:23Eliza, Anson is in a very bad state and he might die.
01:01:25It is a total emergency.
01:01:27Victoria, call a doctor or an ambulance.
01:01:28I am not coming back to that house.
01:01:30He refuses to go to the hospital unless you tell him to.
01:01:32He is acting crazy.
01:01:34This is just another trick to make me come back to them.
01:01:37Please, Eliza.
01:01:38Do you want him to die because of you?
01:01:39She is trying to make me feel guilty.
01:01:40She wants me to think it's my fault if he dies.
01:01:41She is using my past to get me.
01:01:42You should go.
01:01:42Go and see him right now.
01:01:43It is the best thing for you to do so you can move on.
01:01:45Why?
01:01:45Why would I want to see that man after everything he did to me?
01:01:47I never want to see space again as long as I live.
01:01:48Go and see how sad and weak he looks.
01:01:49You need to stop feeling sorry for him.
01:01:51If you don't go, you will always wonder.
01:01:52Wonder?
01:01:52Was that what I was afraid of?
01:01:54The endless what if that would haunt me forever?
01:01:58Fine, Victoria.
01:01:59I am coming.
01:02:00But don't expect me to stay long.
01:02:01I am only doing this so you stop calling me and crying.
01:02:04I am not leaving you alone in that house with those people.
01:02:06You have exactly one hour to finish this.
01:02:08I will be right here waiting for you.
01:02:11You are the only person I can trust.
01:02:14I will be back in an hour.
01:02:15I promise I won't be late for you.
01:02:18Miss Eliza, thank God you came.
01:02:20Master Anson is acting very strange and the whole house is in a panic.
01:02:26It is not the home I remember.
01:02:28Where is he?
01:02:28I want to get this over with now.
01:02:29Eliza, thank goodness.
01:02:31He is upstairs in his room.
01:02:32He is losing his mind and won't let anyone help him at all.
01:02:34I am only here because Dallas told me to see how sad and weak Anson is now.
01:02:37I am not here for you.
01:02:38How can you be so mean?
01:02:39He is sick because he loves you so much.
01:02:40He is suffering because you left him for another man.
01:02:42That is not love, Victoria.
01:02:43That is just him being crazy and obsessed.
01:02:45I am ending this right now.
01:02:47Goodbye, Victoria.
01:02:48I am not a scared girl anymore.
01:02:50I am going to look at him and realize he has no power over me.
01:02:53I am finally free.
01:03:04Eliza, you came.
01:03:07Go to the hospital, Anson.
01:03:08Stop acting like a child.
01:03:09I needed to see you.
01:03:12That man.
01:03:13Gosh.
01:03:14He is dangerous.
01:03:16He saved my life.
01:03:18You stood there and watched me choke.
01:03:20I froze.
01:03:21He is a machine.
01:03:22A killer.
01:03:23I looked into him, Eliza.
01:03:25There are years missing from his file.
01:03:26He is using you to get to my family's assets.
01:03:29The Hyde family is crumbling, Anson.
01:03:31Dallas is leagues above you.
01:03:34You are sleeping with the enemy.
01:03:35You are a whore for his money.
01:03:38There it is.
01:03:39The real Anson.
01:03:40I came to say goodbye.
01:03:42Don't call me again.
01:03:43Don't have your mother call me.
01:03:48If you leave, I'll ruin your career.
01:03:50I'll blacklist you.
01:03:52You already tried.
01:03:54Gavin Ross at S&D.
01:03:57S&D?
01:03:58You got in?
01:03:59On my merit.
01:04:01Something you know nothing about.
01:04:03No!
01:04:06Is he okay?
01:04:07He's fine.
01:04:08He has enough energy to throw things.
01:04:18Get in!
01:04:19We're going for tacos!
01:04:20Where is Dallas?
01:04:22He had a situation.
01:04:23He sent the cavalry.
01:04:24Me!
01:04:24Now hop in.
01:04:32Did you kill him?
01:04:34No.
01:04:34But I think I killed the memory of him.
01:04:38I feel free.
01:04:39We stopped for tacos, but Anson's words were still echoing in my ear.
01:04:44Azera.
01:04:45Anson said Dallas is dangerous.
01:04:47That he has a dark past.
01:04:49Gaps in his file.
01:04:51Anson is an idiot.
01:04:52But he's not entirely wrong.
01:04:55What do you mean?
01:04:57My dad was in the war.
01:04:59Not just the military, Eliza.
01:05:00Special ops.
01:05:01The scary kind.
01:05:03But Anson made it sound like he was some kind of predator.
01:05:05Because Anson is a monster who thinks everyone else is too.
01:05:08Let me tell you the truth.
01:05:09I'm not his biological daughter.
01:05:10My real dad was his captain, Zane Asher.
01:05:12He died saving Dallas' life in a raid.
01:05:14My mom was sick with cancer.
01:05:15No family, no money.
01:05:17Dallas came back from hell, a decorated hero, and all he cared about was finding us.
01:05:20He promised my mom he would protect me.
01:05:22He adopted me and fought his entire family, Ferd and Janine, to give me the cock name.
01:05:26To make me an heir.
01:05:26He never told me.
01:05:28He doesn't brag about being a hero.
01:05:30He thinks he's a monster because he survived.
01:05:31He thinks he's broken.
01:05:35Guilt hit me so hard I almost fell off the car.
01:05:37He loves you, Eliza.
01:05:38I've never seen him look at anyone like that.
01:05:40You are his life.
01:05:41You need to tell him he's not broken.
01:05:44My mind was made up.
01:05:45Take me home.
01:05:47To him.
01:05:49Buckle up.
01:05:52I found him on the balcony of the penthouse, smoking.
01:05:55It was a sign of extreme stress.
01:05:58You're back.
01:05:58How is Hyde?
01:05:59Did he cause any more trouble?
01:06:01He's pathetic.
01:06:02Sick.
01:06:02But nothing I couldn't handle.
01:06:04Azale told me.
01:06:05Everything.
01:06:07She talks too much.
01:06:09She told me the truth about her father.
01:06:10And about you.
01:06:11Is it true, Dallas?
01:06:12It was a long time ago.
01:06:14She said you married a dying woman to save a child?
01:06:17You raised her alone.
01:06:18And gave her your name to protect her.
01:06:21I stepped closer.
01:06:22Placing my hand on his chest.
01:06:24Feeling his steady heartbeat.
01:06:25I did what was necessary.
01:06:27Captain Asher saved me first.
01:06:28It was a debt.
01:06:29Anson said you were dirty.
01:06:31Cold.
01:06:32I can be.
01:06:33I have killed men, Eliza.
01:06:35I have done things that would give you nightmares.
01:06:37To protect people.
01:06:38You are not cold, Dallas.
01:06:40You are burning.
01:06:41Why are you telling me this?
01:06:43Because I want you to know.
01:06:45I'm not afraid of your past.
01:06:46And I'm proud to be your wife.
01:06:48Proud.
01:06:49Yes.
01:06:50My husband is a hero.
01:06:52He pulled me into a hug so tight it felt desperate, burying his face in my neck.
01:06:55I am no hero, Eliza.
01:06:57I am just a man who wants to keep you safe.
01:06:59That's enough for me.
01:07:04It started.
01:07:07What has?
01:07:07Your uncle.
01:07:09He's cashing out.
01:07:13The next morning, Dallas insisted on driving me to my first day at S&D.
01:07:17You don't have to drive me.
01:07:17I can take a cab.
01:07:18I want to.
01:07:19It's your first day.
01:07:19As he drove, he put a hand on my thigh.
01:07:21It was possessive.
01:07:22Heavy.
01:07:23I covered it with mine.
01:07:24About Augustina.
01:07:25She hates sippocuts.
01:07:26Be honest.
01:07:27Even if it hurts.
01:07:28Okay.
01:07:29And never apologize for having an opinion.
01:07:31He parked in a secluded spot in the underground garage and turned off the engine.
01:07:36Nervous?
01:07:37A little.
01:07:38Everyone will be watching me.
01:07:39The Hyde Charity case who is now Mrs. Couch.
01:07:40Let them talk.
01:07:41Then show them your work.
01:07:42Silence them with excellence.
01:07:43And if anyone gives you trouble, tell them who your husband is.
01:07:46I thought you preferred to operate from the shadows?
01:07:48When it comes to you, I've changed my mind.
01:07:50I want everyone to know.
01:07:51He leaned over the console and kissed me, deep and hungry, until the car felt small and hot.
01:07:57We should stop, or you will be late.
01:07:59Five minutes.
01:08:00Five minutes is not enough for what I want to do to you.
01:08:03Tonight?
01:08:04Tonight won't be about a contract, Aliza.
01:08:06It will be about us.
01:08:07I know.
01:08:09Have a good day, Mr. Couch.
01:08:14Tonight.
01:08:23The warmth and safety in the car are a world away from the cold of this morning.
01:08:27The day started like any other, with a mountain of someone else's problems landing on my desk.
01:08:31Morning.
01:08:32Augustina wants new hires acquainted with our past projects.
01:08:34Start by organizing these.
01:08:35I think I can manage, Sarah.
01:08:36Happy to help.
01:08:36Happy to help.
01:08:37The words tasted like ash in my mouth.
01:08:39She left.
01:08:40But I could feel everyone watching me.
01:08:45The charity case.
01:08:46Then my phone buzzed.
01:08:48The contact name read,
01:08:49husband.
01:08:58My heart mummered against my ribs.
01:09:00The promise I made in the car was due tonight.
01:09:06Welcome home.
01:09:10You're home early.
01:09:11I wanted to be here when you arrived.
01:09:13Did you finish your filing?
01:09:16How did you know about that?
01:09:17I know everything that happens in that building.
01:09:23He backed me against the sofa, caging me in with his arms.
01:09:26His heat was overwhelming.
01:09:28About that progress report.
01:09:30I missed you today.
01:09:31I need a shower.
01:09:33Office germs!
01:09:34I was touching old files all day!
01:09:35I scrambled under his arm and fled up the stairs without looking back.
01:09:40Run, Eliza.
01:09:41I enjoy the chase.
01:09:44I tiptoed into the kitchen, hoping Dallas was still asleep.
01:09:47But he was already there, leaning against the counter.
01:09:50Good morning.
01:09:50Dallas!
01:09:51I...
01:09:51I didn't see you.
01:09:53Did you scrub off all the germs?
01:09:54Yes.
01:09:55Sorry about running away last night.
01:09:58Black.
01:09:59Two sugars.
01:10:00He handed me a mug.
01:10:01He remembered.
01:10:02Then he stepped so close the huge kitchen felt like a closet.
01:10:06You can't hide in the shower forever, Eliza.
01:10:09I'm not a monk.
01:10:11And you are my wife.
01:10:13I know.
01:10:14It's just...
01:10:15new, being us.
01:10:17Take your time.
01:10:18But don't lock the door next time.
01:10:20Two hours later, I was standing in the HR manager's office.
01:10:23Close the door, Seliman.
01:10:24Sit down.
01:10:25I got a call from Anson Hyde.
01:10:27Anson doesn't work here.
01:10:29But his company is our biggest client.
01:10:30He's concerned about your fragile condition.
01:10:32He wants you reassigned.
01:10:33Reassigned where?
01:10:34To the archive team.
01:10:35In the basement.
01:10:36For your own good, of course.
01:10:37The basement?
01:10:38That's a storage job.
01:10:39I was hired as a restoration consultant.
01:10:41Look, my hands are tied.
01:10:42It's either you in the basement, or you can quit.
01:10:44That would solve everyone's problem.
01:10:46I won't quit.
01:10:47And I will speak to the director if my assignment deviates from my contract.
01:10:50I am HR!
01:10:51You listen to me!
01:10:52I listen to my contract.
01:10:54Which Ms. Koch signed.
01:10:55I'm sure she'll be interested in how her directives are being interpreted.
01:10:58I turn to leave, my hand gripping the cold door handle.
01:11:02Watch your back, Seliman.
01:11:04The Hyde family has deep pockets.
01:11:06You should check who signs your paycheck, Gavin.
01:11:08It's not Hyde.
01:11:18Nice takedown on Graven.
01:11:19I heard him yelling all the way down the hall.
01:11:21I'm Bella.
01:11:22Eliza.
01:11:23News travels fast.
01:11:24Faster than light.
01:11:25So, the rumor is you're Dallas Cog's new secret.
01:11:29His sugar baby.
01:11:32What?
01:11:33That is disgusting!
01:11:35And false!
01:11:36I figured.
01:11:36Your shoes are last season.
01:11:38No offense.
01:11:40I'll handle the rumors.
01:11:41I hate Graven more than I like gossip.
01:11:43Thanks?
01:11:44Come on.
01:11:45Let's get real food.
01:11:46My treat.
01:11:47This sandwich looks sad.
01:11:50Mr. Hyde.
01:11:51Right this way, sir.
01:12:01Eliza.
01:12:03I didn't know you could afford this place.
01:12:06And I didn't know you were rude, Mr. Hyde.
01:12:09We need to talk.
01:12:10Alone.
01:12:12I'm having lunch with my colleague Anson.
01:12:13Go away.
01:12:15It's about Victoria.
01:12:16What about her?
01:12:18She's asking for you.
01:12:20She's worse.
01:12:24I visited her last week, Anston.
01:12:26She was perfectly fine screaming at the maids.
01:12:28She took a turn.
01:12:30Just now.
01:12:31Don't be heartless, Eliza.
01:12:33I'll call her later.
01:12:35Goodbye, Anston.
01:12:36Okay, that was intense.
01:12:37Is he the ex or the brother?
01:12:38Both.
01:12:38It's complicated.
01:12:39I'm the orphan they took in.
01:12:41So not a kept woman, just a Cinderella story gone wrong.
01:12:43Exactly.
01:12:45The glass slipper was a contract.
01:12:46I need to use the restroom.
01:12:49I need to use the restroom.
01:13:16I don't think.
01:13:17I just reacted.
01:13:20My foot!
01:13:22Sir!
01:13:24Are you okay?
01:13:24You fell.
01:13:27My head.
01:13:29Just look.
01:13:32He slipped.
01:13:35She...
01:13:36She...
01:13:37She...
01:13:37She did this.
01:13:38Sir, she said you slipped.
01:13:40Should I call a doctor?
01:13:42Look at him.
01:13:44Sprawled in the dirt.
01:13:45Just where he belongs.
01:13:50Anson!
01:13:51Oh my God!
01:13:51What did you do to him?
01:13:53He fell.
01:13:55You savage!
01:13:56You attacked him!
01:13:57Someone call the police!
01:13:59Get off me, Claudine!
01:14:00I'm fine!
01:14:03Is there a problem here?
01:14:05He harassed me.
01:14:10Is my wife being bothered?
01:14:12Wife?
01:14:14Dallas!
01:14:18Are you hurt?
01:14:20No.
01:14:21Take me home.
01:14:22Please.
01:14:24If you slip near my wife again, you won't get up.
01:14:33I...
01:14:34I can't stop shaking.
01:14:36You grabbed my hand like it was a lifeline.
01:14:39I didn't call you.
01:14:41You just...
01:14:42Appeared.
01:14:43I am always watching, Eliza.
01:14:45I saw him follow you.
01:14:49You are my lifeline, Dallas.
01:14:53Good.
01:14:54Remember that.
01:14:58What about Bella?
01:14:59I left her alone with them.
01:15:00My security team is escorting her home.
01:15:01She is safe.
01:15:02How long have you known Anson was following me?
01:15:04Since you left the office, my security saw him waiting two blocks away.
01:15:07I can't escape him.
01:15:08He's like a ghost that haunts every place I go.
01:15:10He is a man.
01:15:12Men bleed, as you proved today.
01:15:15You stomped on him.
01:15:16I'm impressed.
01:15:18I learned from the best.
01:15:19You told me not to let them intimidate me.
01:15:21Do you think love can grow after marriage, or is it just... duty?
01:15:25Why do you ask?
01:15:25Because I don't want to be just a duty to you.
01:15:28I don't want to be another promise you kept to a dead friend.
01:15:31You are many things, Eliza.
01:15:32Duty is not one of them.
01:15:33Married?
01:15:34She's married to Dallas Cox?
01:15:35Why didn't you tell me?
01:15:36That changes everything.
01:15:37Shut up, Claudine.
01:15:38My head is pounding.
01:15:39I won't shut up.
01:15:39You made me look like an idiot.
01:15:41You've been chasing her like a lost puppy while she's been betting the richest man in the city.
01:15:44It's a fake marriage, a contract she told me.
01:15:46And you, you sabotaged her at S&D.
01:15:48I told you to stay out of it.
01:15:49I was trying to help you.
01:15:50You said you wanted her back.
01:15:51I wanted to control where she works.
01:15:52You made her run to Coy.
01:15:53You pushed her into his arms.
01:15:55She was already in his arms, Aniston.
01:15:56You're just blind.
01:15:57And now you're limping.
01:15:58Get out.
01:15:59Fine.
01:16:00Call me when you're done playing the victim.
01:16:03I will take her back.
01:16:05Whatever it costs.
01:16:09It's Hyde.
01:16:10That look in his I-need intel on Dallas just business.
01:16:12Get me dirt on him.
01:16:12Start with his military service.
01:16:13I want to know where the bodies are buried.
01:16:17I was hitting the bag until my knuckles bled.
01:16:19Picturing Anson Hyde's face with every punch.
01:16:21He had touched my wife.
01:16:26Whoa.
01:16:27Easy, killer.
01:16:28I'm not the Hyde boy.
01:16:29Save some for him.
01:16:35He touched her.
01:16:36And she stomped him.
01:16:38The security team is calling it the stiletto stomp.
01:16:41It's legendary.
01:16:43The secret is out.
01:16:44Everyone knows who she is now.
01:16:47You're hiding her beauty, Dallas.
01:16:48You have a diamond and you keep her in a vault.
01:16:50People are curious.
01:16:52Careful, Zane.
01:16:55I'm just saying.
01:16:56She's tougher than you think.
01:16:57Maybe she needs to be seen.
01:16:58To show the world she's not a victim.
01:17:00To show them she's Mrs. Dallas Koch.
01:17:02Vanessa wants to bring her to the Velvet Room opening tonight.
01:17:05Do it.
01:17:05Let her shine.
01:17:06Let her own the title.
01:17:07He was right.
01:17:08Hiding her wasn't protecting her anymore.
01:17:10If anyone messes with her, there will be blood.
01:17:13Remind me never to date your wife.
01:17:16You have slowly focused on her.
01:17:19I promised Alessa dinner.
01:17:26It's too short, Azolia.
01:17:27I look like a disco ball.
01:17:29A sexy disco ball.
01:17:30Dad will have a heart attack.
01:17:32In a good way.
01:17:34It's backless.
01:17:36And it barely covers anything.
01:17:38Trust me.
01:17:39Tonight is about power.
01:17:41You stomp on Aniston with your heel.
01:17:43And you stomp on society with your dress.
01:17:55Fine.
01:17:55But if I freeze, I'm wearing your coat.
01:18:04Security issue.
01:18:05I need two minutes.
01:18:07Stay here.
01:18:08Zane.
01:18:09Watch her.
01:18:13Isn't that the Hyatt charity case?
01:18:15I heard she seduced Dallas Koff.
01:18:16Probably pregnant.
01:18:17It's the only way a girl like that gets a ring.
01:18:19Their words, like tiny daggers, found their mark.
01:18:22Look at that dress.
01:18:23She looks like she's working the corner, not the room.
01:18:25Hey!
01:18:26Plastic Barbie!
01:18:28Excuse me?
01:18:28Yeah, you.
01:18:29That dress costs more than your facelift.
01:18:30And for the record, he begged for her.
01:18:31You little brat!
01:18:33Who are you?
01:18:33I'm Azalea Kock.
01:18:34And this is Mrs. Kock.
01:18:35My father's wife.
01:18:36You might want to show some respect.
01:18:38Mrs. Kosh, please.
01:18:41She's a gold digger.
01:18:42And you're just the daughter of a ghost.
01:18:46Cool off, bitch.
01:18:57Azalea!
01:18:59Don't touch them.
01:19:12I'm fine, Dallas.
01:19:14Azalea was just defending me.
01:19:16She called you a gold digger.
01:19:18And she insulted you.
01:19:20And you dumped ice on a senator's daughter.
01:19:23She deserved it.
01:19:26Good aim.
01:19:28Really?
01:19:30That was entertaining.
01:19:32Mrs. Kouse, huh?
01:19:33Very official.
01:19:35It slipped out.
01:19:37It was the heat of the moment.
01:19:38This is Eliza.
01:19:40My dad's trophy wife.
01:19:46Look at her.
01:19:47She's winning.
01:19:48I prefer bodyguard.
01:19:50I took a scratch for you.
01:19:52You are a mess.
01:19:53Both of you.
01:19:54We need to go home.
01:19:55Yes, let's go.
01:19:56No.
01:19:57The paparazzi are outside.
01:19:59Someone tipped them off about the fight.
01:20:01They will smell blood.
01:20:03We'll go to Vanessa's private suite upstairs.
01:20:06Zane, get Azalea's spare clothes from the car.
01:20:10And for Eliza?
01:20:11I have clothes for Eliza here.
01:20:13Here?
01:20:14Why?
01:20:15Just come.
01:20:18Dallas!
01:20:19I can walk.
01:20:20You're injured.
01:20:21I can walk.
01:20:22You're injured.
01:20:23It's a scratch.
01:20:24You just want to carry me.
01:20:26Maybe.
01:20:31Do you bring many women here?
01:20:34Is that why you have clothes?
01:20:35Is that what you think?
01:20:36That this is my playground?
01:20:37That I stash mistresses here?
01:20:39You're a billionaire.
01:20:40It fits the profile.
01:20:41His voice was a command, pulling me from my thoughts.
01:20:43Come here.
01:20:44I followed, my heart pounding a nervous rhythm against my ribs.
01:20:50He slid open a heavy wardrobe door, and my breath caught in my throat.
01:20:56Oh, that...
01:20:59These are all for me?
01:21:01I had them stocked three months ago, when we signed the contract.
01:21:04I knew there would be nights like this, where the world was too loud, and you needed a safe place.
01:21:09But we were strangers then.
01:21:10You didn't know me.
01:21:11I knew I wanted to protect you.
01:21:13There are no other women, Eliza.
01:21:14There never were.
01:21:15This suite has been waiting for you.
01:21:17Just you.
01:21:18You prepared a safe house for me?
01:21:20Before I even accepted it?
01:21:21I am a patient man.
01:21:23I knew you would come eventually.
01:21:25Pick a dress.
01:21:25We have a reputation to salvage.
01:21:27Let's show them what Mrs. Coe looks like.
01:21:29Thank you, Dallas.
01:21:41Ready?
01:21:43For anything.
