Short filmTranscript
00:00:07I woke up in a stranger's bed, but the stranger was my boss.
00:00:23Marry me.
00:00:25He wanted to buy me, like I was a company.
00:00:36The man I loved and the friend I trusted, they were both lying to me.
00:00:48So I signed.
00:00:50Not for love, for revenge.
00:00:57Just a weak assistant.
00:01:03They thought I was broken.
00:01:05They had no idea.
00:01:07I was just getting started.
00:01:19I am Chaos.
00:01:21The designer everyone is hunting.
00:01:38I have to get out of here.
00:01:39Now.
00:01:50Good morning, Hallie.
00:01:53Mr. Gardner.
00:01:55This was a mistake.
00:01:57I need to leave.
00:01:59I need to leave.
00:02:03Where are these?
00:02:06What?
00:02:07Given the events of last night, and my position, we need to discuss the path forward.
00:02:17Marriage.
00:02:20Excuse me?
00:02:21Are you insane?
00:02:23A scandal involving the CEO and a junior assistant would be detrimental to the stock price.
00:02:28A sudden marriage.
00:02:29A sudden marriage can be spun as a whirlwind romance.
00:02:31It solves the PR crisis.
00:02:34I am not marrying you for a stock price.
00:02:37It is a contract.
00:02:39A business arrangement.
00:02:40I have a boyfriend.
00:02:42Irving.
00:02:46A creative director.
00:02:48An obstacle, but hardly an insurmountable one.
00:02:51He didn't answer your calls last night.
00:02:53That doesn't mean anything.
00:02:55Get dressed, Hallie.
00:02:57The car is waiting downstairs.
00:03:13I'm leaving.
00:03:14We are going to pretend this never happened.
00:03:16We will never speak of this again.
00:03:22Hallie, running doesn't solve problems.
00:03:24It solves this one.
00:03:40Miss Andrews, Mr. Gardner instructed me to take you home.
00:03:46I can take the subway.
00:03:48The doorman is watching, Miss Andrews.
00:03:50And the paparazzi.
00:03:52It would be best to get in.
00:03:56Mr. Gardner rarely loses control.
00:03:59You must be unexpected.
00:04:05Mistakes usually don't involve archival Chanel.
00:04:16Stop the car.
00:04:18Mrs. Andrews, we are in the middle of traffic.
00:04:20Please, stop.
00:04:21There's a CBS right there.
00:04:23I need something.
00:04:23Help!
00:04:34Ezra is a man who takes care of his assets.
00:04:53You lied.
00:05:06Mine.
00:05:12Oh my god, I'm like a death.
00:05:15But listen, they found a woman's ripped dress and Ezra's head outside on Saturday morning.
00:05:19Probably a model he took home from the gala.
00:05:21That's what everyone is saying. They're all trying to guess who.
00:05:28Andrews, this sketch, it's disruptive.
00:05:32I want you taking notes in the 2pm concept meeting.
00:05:36Nothing, sir. Yes, of course.
00:05:53Design department, Holly Andrews.
00:05:56Mrs. Andrews.
00:05:57Mr. Gardner would like to see you in his office. Now.
00:06:02I'm in the middle of preparing for the-
00:06:04Now, Mrs. Andrews.
00:06:19Of course, but get this. Ezra Gardner was seen driving a woman out of the garage Saturday morning.
00:06:24In the Maybach.
00:06:26I wish.
00:06:26No idea.
00:06:27But the rumor is she was in Runway Chanel.
00:06:32Whoever she is, she won't last.
00:06:35Ezra Gardner doesn't do relationships.
00:06:52Is the air conditioning and design malfunctioning?
00:06:55Uh, no, Mr. Gardner. It's quite comfortable.
00:06:58It must be freezing to warrant such heavy wool.
00:07:02I-I run cold.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:05That wasn't my impression.
00:07:08Stay.
00:07:15Your tag is sticking out.
00:07:18Hide it well, Hallie.
00:07:20I don't like sharing what's mine.
00:07:24Into my office.
00:07:26Now.
00:07:44You wanted to see me, Mr. Gardner?
00:07:51It says Hallie Andrews declined your request.
00:07:54Is this how you treat your fiancé?
00:07:58I'm not your fiancé.
00:08:02We are negotiating.
00:08:05And declining a friend request is a poor opening move, Hallie.
00:08:19The prenuptial agreement. Draft one.
00:08:27You can't be serious.
00:08:29The allowance?
00:08:29It's more than my annual salary.
00:08:32I am always serious about my investments.
00:08:35I am not an investment.
00:08:39I want my life back.
00:08:41I want to be invisible again.
00:08:44I notice assets others overlook, Hallie.
00:08:47For instance, your particular interest in Senator Grimes.
00:08:54How do you know about that?
00:08:56How do you know about that?
00:08:56I told you.
00:08:57I verify my investments.
00:09:02You're chasing a ghost.
00:09:04A junior assistant will never get close enough to ask him your questions.
00:09:09And you think you can help?
00:09:10I don't think.
00:09:12I know.
00:09:14Being Mrs. Ezra Gardner puts you at his table.
00:09:18It forces him to acknowledge you.
00:09:21Why?
00:09:22Why are you doing this for me?
00:09:25Because I always acquire what catches my eye.
00:09:31I need time.
00:09:33Take it.
00:09:35But while you think, check your phone.
00:09:42Accept my friend request.
00:09:49Good.
00:09:49Now go back to work.
00:09:53What?
00:09:55And Hallie?
00:09:56Cancel your dinner plans.
00:09:58I have a date with Irvin.
00:10:02Not anymore.
00:10:11Whoa.
00:10:13You okay?
00:10:13You look...
00:10:14green.
00:10:16Bad sushi.
00:10:18I just threw up everything.
00:10:19Are you sure it's not?
00:10:21Morning sickness.
00:10:25Definitely not.
00:10:26Just food poisoning.
00:10:32Hallie!
00:10:33Look!
00:10:34The all company email!
00:10:37You're on the S Country Fashion Week list.
00:10:39My name was at the bottom of the list.
00:10:41This was Ezra's doing.
00:10:43He was manipulating my entire career.
00:10:45I don't care if he's in a board meeting Finley.
00:10:48He can't just do this to me!
00:10:52He left this for you, Ms. Andrews.
00:10:54This is your chance to prove you are not just a pretty face.
00:10:58Don't waste it.
00:11:05Babe!
00:11:05Saw the list.
00:11:06We can turn this into a romantic vacation.
00:11:10A romantic vacation?
00:11:12Now you want to be seen with me?
00:11:15Feeling sick?
00:11:18Liar.
00:11:19Finley left something at the front desk for you.
00:11:21Mr. Butler said this was urgent.
00:11:23Inside the bag was a thermost of ginger soup.
00:11:26He knew...
00:11:27He knew...
00:11:28He knew I took the pill!
00:11:30He thinks he can control me with soup?
00:11:32Make me compliant?
00:11:38I drank just enough to settle my stomach, then walked to the nearest trash can.
00:11:43Did you clear the security logs from the pharmacy?
00:11:45And the lobby footage.
00:11:47No record of her illness exists.
00:11:50Drive.
00:11:53To us, Hallie, and to your big break.
00:12:01You smell like Chanel No-5.
00:12:03That's Leah's signature scent.
00:12:05I must have walked through her perfume cloud at the office.
00:12:08Now about S country.
00:12:10I'm thinking of heading out a few days early.
00:12:13A few days early?
00:12:14Sounds busy.
00:12:16Excuse me for a moment.
00:12:30I hope Leah is okay.
00:12:32She just told me she's terribly sick.
00:12:36Oh?
00:12:37That's too bad.
00:12:45Actually, babe, I totally forgot.
00:12:48I have a conference call with the Tokyo team in 30 minutes.
00:12:51I have to cut this short.
00:12:52Of course.
00:12:53Work first.
00:12:56Just wait a second.
00:13:07Leah.
00:13:10Driver.
00:13:12Take me home.
00:13:43Going up?
00:13:44Are you following me?
00:13:46It's my building, Hallie.
00:13:48I'm everywhere.
00:13:54My phone.
00:13:55Where is it?
00:13:57No, no, no.
00:13:58It's shattered.
00:13:59The evidence.
00:14:00I had everything.
00:14:02Forget the phone.
00:14:02Are you injured?
00:14:03I'm fine.
00:14:05I'm fine.
00:14:05But I lost the proof.
00:14:08We're stuck.
00:14:10The emergency button is dead.
00:14:14Are you okay?
00:14:15Your knuckles are white.
00:14:17I'm fine.
00:14:19I'm claustrophobic.
00:14:21Don't be ridiculous.
00:14:23You are.
00:14:24You are.
00:14:24You're sweating.
00:14:26Talk to me.
00:14:28Just...
00:14:28Talk.
00:14:29About anything.
00:14:44I've got you.
00:14:45I'm fine.
00:14:46Get off me.
00:14:48You can't even stand.
00:14:50Lean on me.
00:14:51We have to take the stairs.
00:14:54New leg.
00:14:55What happened?
00:14:56Old injury.
00:14:57A lifetime ago.
00:14:59Ezra.
00:14:59What happened?
00:15:01Get Ms. Andrews a new phone.
00:15:03The latest model.
00:15:04Yes, sir.
00:15:05Restore her cloud data immediately.
00:15:08I don't need...
00:15:10It's a worker's comp issue.
00:15:12Do it.
00:15:31You're still here?
00:15:33Finley is still working.
00:15:35And he said the storm was bad.
00:15:38No Ubers.
00:15:40I'll drive you.
00:15:43You shouldn't be driving.
00:15:44Your leg.
00:15:47I have a driver, Hallie.
00:16:06You were sleeping.
00:16:07We've been parked for 20 minutes.
00:16:09Where are we?
00:16:11Why did we stop?
00:16:13For the sugar cash.
00:16:17You didn't have to do this.
00:16:19I told you, Hallie.
00:16:20I take care of my investments.
00:16:32The contract.
00:16:33Send me the final version.
00:16:36Are you sure?
00:16:37I want access to Grimes.
00:16:40That's my condition.
00:16:47You'll have it.
00:16:49And...
00:16:50I want a design.
00:16:52For real.
00:16:53Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:56You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie.
00:16:59I've seen your sketches.
00:17:03You have potential.
00:17:04You've seen my sketches?
00:17:06I'll see you tomorrow, fiance.
00:17:21It came from the top floor.
00:17:23What is it?
00:17:25It's the first move in my war.
00:17:32Adequate.
00:17:34High praise from you.
00:17:36When you see him, don't look at him like a daughter.
00:17:39Look at him like an equal.
00:17:43I don't know if I can.
00:17:46You can.
00:17:47You have me.
00:17:55Showtime, Mrs. Gardner.
00:17:57Edzra.
00:17:57Good to see you.
00:17:59And who is this lovely accessory?
00:18:01Senator.
00:18:02I'd like you to meet my fiance.
00:18:03Fiance?
00:18:05You?
00:18:06Yes.
00:18:07This is Hallie.
00:18:08Hallie Andrews.
00:18:10A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:12A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:14The pleasure is mine.
00:18:16I didn't even recognize you.
00:18:19He's intrigued.
00:18:20That's the first step.
00:18:23Now, we burn his world down.
00:18:26The first, we dance.
00:18:34Who are you, Exra Gardner?
00:18:36The man who saw your value when everyone else was blind.
00:18:41Kiss me.
00:18:43With pleasure.
00:19:07Andrews.
00:19:08Explain this.
00:19:10These are Wendy's sketches.
00:19:11Why are you showing them to me?
00:19:13Don't play dumb.
00:19:14I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:19:17Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:19:21She was playing a trick.
00:19:23And why would I steal this?
00:19:24It's derivative.
00:19:26It's mediocre.
00:19:27Excuse me?
00:19:28You little thief.
00:19:29You're just a glorified coffee girl.
00:19:30You only got here by men.
00:19:32Enough.
00:19:32Holly, the sketches are in your desk.
00:19:34That's possession of proprietary IP.
00:19:36We have zero tolerance.
00:19:37Check the cameras.
00:19:38There's a camera right above my desk.
00:19:40Oh.
00:19:41Didn't you hear?
00:19:42The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:45How convenient.
00:19:47Ms. Andrews.
00:19:48Hand over your badge.
00:19:50We need to escort you for an investigative interview.
00:19:52I didn't do it.
00:19:55Holly.
00:19:57This way.
00:19:58Don't touch me.
00:20:02That's what happens when you fly too close to the sun.
00:20:05Signless.
00:20:05It's standard protocol.
00:20:11Don't sign anything.
00:20:12Mr. Butler.
00:20:13This is an HR matter.
00:20:15Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:20:18And he is not pleased.
00:20:31Report.
00:20:32Ms. Gardner.
00:20:33We found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:36Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:39Evidence.
00:20:42These were the files, sir.
00:20:44These were the files, sir.
00:20:50You're telling me my special assistant with access to this conglomerate's confidential financials risked her career to steal this?
00:20:58This pedestrian uninspired garbage?
00:21:01Sir, it's the fall lead piece.
00:21:04It's a poor knockoff of a Balenciade code from five years ago.
00:21:07Where is the security footage?
00:21:08The cameras were down, sir.
00:21:10The maintenance.
00:21:11Maintenance.
00:21:12I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon, and it just happened to go down?
00:21:18Finley.
00:21:18Get IT security.
00:21:20I want a forensic audit of the server logs.
00:21:21Pull the physical backup tape from the basement.
00:21:24If I find out this was a setup, termination will be the least of your worries.
00:21:28I will sue you for corporate sabotage until your great-crazed grandchildren are paying the legal fees.
00:21:35Tear that up.
00:21:41Ms. Andrews returns to her desk.
00:21:43If anyone has a problem with that, they can see me.
00:21:46Personally.
00:21:48Allie.
00:21:50Yes?
00:21:51My office.
00:21:52Tomorrow morning.
00:21:538am.
00:21:54Don't be late.
00:22:05Bring an appetite.
00:22:07I'm not eating alone.
00:22:22Sit.
00:22:23Eat.
00:22:27You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:33It's for energy.
00:22:35For catching rats.
00:22:38He thinks...
00:22:39Your assistant...
00:22:40He definitely thinks we're sleeping together.
00:22:43He knows we are engaged.
00:22:44It's functionally the same thing in his mind.
00:22:48It's not.
00:22:49This is a business arrangement.
00:22:55Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:57The company account.
00:22:58Why?
00:22:59I want to pay for my share.
00:23:01I am not a kept woman.
00:23:04I have a salary.
00:23:08Allie.
00:23:09The orange juice costs more than your hourly rate.
00:23:12I don't care.
00:23:13How much?
00:23:14If it makes your fragile ego feel better...
00:23:17$200.
00:23:20For eggs?
00:23:21Are the kick-ins made of gold?
00:23:24It's from Le Couchet.
00:23:25Just eat the eggs, Allie.
00:23:37That covers the eggs and the coffee.
00:23:38I'm not paying for the truffle fries because I didn't ask for them.
00:23:41You are ridiculous.
00:23:43I am independent.
00:23:47I have a rat to catch.
00:23:56Did you see?
00:23:57She just threw money at him.
00:24:00A 20?
00:24:00Is she tipping him?
00:24:02Or paying for...
00:24:04services?
00:24:07Okay.
00:24:08Spill.
00:24:09Did you pay Ezza $20 to kiss you?
00:24:12Or did he pay you to leave?
00:24:14It was for breakfast!
00:24:16We went Dutch!
00:24:19You went Dutch with a billionaire?
00:24:22Holly.
00:24:23You are doing this so wrong.
00:24:39I told you the cameras were wiped.
00:24:41But the big boss is pulling the physical tapes.
00:24:44If they find out, I cut the feed.
00:24:46They won't.
00:24:47Just tell them it was a glitch.
00:24:49Here.
00:24:56Who's there?
00:24:57Who's there?
00:25:17Hide me.
00:25:18Please.
00:25:27Is there a problem?
00:25:29No.
00:25:30No, sir.
00:25:31We...
00:25:31We just heard a noise.
00:25:33Leave.
00:25:35Gentlemen, go ahead.
00:25:36I'll meet you at the restaurant.
00:25:40Something has...
00:25:41come up.
00:25:46You can come out now, 007.
00:25:50I...
00:25:51I ripped your shirt.
00:25:55And the button...
00:25:56It rolled away.
00:25:58That was a mother of pearl button.
00:26:00Hand stitched in the lamp.
00:26:02I can sew it back on?
00:26:04With what?
00:26:05A stapler?
00:26:10Get in.
00:26:11Get in.
00:26:11Before you assault anyone else.
00:26:18I was tracking Wendy.
00:26:20She was paying off Mike, the guard.
00:26:23I know.
00:26:24You know?
00:26:25Then why didn't you do anything?
00:26:27If I fire her, they'll say I'm protecting my mistress.
00:26:31You need to find the smoking gun.
00:26:32You have to clear your own name.
00:26:34But I failed.
00:26:35They saw me.
00:26:37They saw a hoodle-in in a hoodie.
00:26:39They didn't see Holla Andrews.
00:26:43You're giving me the keys to the castle?
00:26:45I'm giving you a chance to use those talents you hide.
00:26:48You think like an architect.
00:26:50I...
00:26:51I just have opinions.
00:26:52Use them.
00:26:53Find the evidence.
00:26:56Now go.
00:26:57Mike is on his lunch break.
00:27:06Oh my god.
00:27:07I am so, so sorry.
00:27:09Hallie.
00:27:10Are you secretly working for my tailor?
00:27:12Is this a commission scheme?
00:27:15I'll get a napkin.
00:27:16I can fix it.
00:27:18Stop.
00:27:19You're making it worse.
00:27:21Go.
00:27:22Get the footage.
00:27:23Before I bill you for a new wardrobe.
00:27:25Okay, okay.
00:27:40It's Wendy.
00:27:41She's at my desk.
00:27:42Shoving the sketches in my drawer.
00:27:44Gotcha.
00:27:57He's humming.
00:27:58He sat down.
00:28:00Don't turn around.
00:28:01Please don't turn around.
00:28:04He's putting on headphones.
00:28:05A video game.
00:28:07This is my chance.
00:28:09I have you now, Wendy.
00:28:11Dead to rights.
00:28:19I want her here.
00:28:20I want her to apologize.
00:28:22To me.
00:28:23In front of you.
00:28:26Finley.
00:28:27Send Wendy Quinn up.
00:28:30Tell her it's regarding the Fashion Week roster.
00:28:39Ezra, darling.
00:28:40I'm so glad you called.
00:28:41I have some ideas for the show.
00:28:44Darling.
00:28:45Darling?
00:28:46Ms. Andrum seems to find that term...
00:28:49distasteful.
00:28:50It's gross.
00:28:50It's unprofessional.
00:28:52And it's delusional.
00:28:54Who do you think you are?
00:28:55You're just an assistant.
00:29:02Explain.
00:29:04It's...
00:29:05It's not what it looks like.
00:29:06I was just...
00:29:07returning them.
00:29:08Returning them to the bottom of her personal drawer?
00:29:11Under her gym bag?
00:29:12I was under so much pressure.
00:29:14She's young.
00:29:15She's pretty.
00:29:16Everyone likes her.
00:29:17I was scared.
00:29:18So you framed her.
00:29:20You committed corporate espionage.
00:29:23And fraud.
00:29:24I'm sorry.
00:29:25Ezra, please.
00:29:26Don't apologize to me.
00:29:29Apologize to her.
00:29:30I'm sorry.
00:29:33I can't hear you.
00:29:35I'm sorry!
00:29:36I was jealous!
00:29:37Are you happy?
00:29:40Yes.
00:29:41I am.
00:29:43Finley.
00:29:44Escort Ms. Quinn out.
00:29:45Have legal draft the termination papers.
00:29:47And notify the industry blacklist.
00:29:52Now.
00:29:53Let's talk about that face you made.
00:29:55What face?
00:29:56The one when she called me darling.
00:29:58You look like you wanted to vomit when Wendy called me darling.
00:30:02Or kill her.
00:30:04It was tacky.
00:30:05She sounded like she owned you.
00:30:06And that bothers you?
00:30:07Why?
00:30:08Because you're my boss.
00:30:10I'm your fiancé.
00:30:13Fake fiancé.
00:30:15Is it?
00:30:16You defended your territory, Hallie.
00:30:18That was jealousy.
00:30:20I am not jealous.
00:30:24Wendy is gone.
00:30:26Now for the other obstacle.
00:30:27Irvin.
00:30:30I have a plan.
00:30:32I'll handle him.
00:30:33You have three days.
00:30:35I don't like my future wife having a boyfriend.
00:30:38I'm not sharing.
00:30:39I haven't let him touch me in weeks.
00:30:43Good.
00:30:44Keep it that way.
00:30:50Ezra?
00:30:52If I called you darling, would it be gross?
00:30:55If you called me darling, I would probably buy you an island.
00:31:13Findlay is outside the store.
00:31:15He'll drive you to dinner.
00:31:18He's always watching.
00:31:20And tonight Irving is going to learn what happens when you lie to the wrong woman.
00:31:28Mr. Gardner is concerned, Hallie. Irving Vinsonin is a snake.
00:31:34Snakes get stepped on when they're cornered, Finley. I'm wearing boots.
00:31:44Hallie? Is that you?
00:31:47Hi, babe.
00:31:48You look incredible. I've never seen you dress like this.
00:31:52I felt like celebrating. Bring us your most expensive champagne.
00:31:56Celebrating what?
00:31:56Your big bonus, of course. You are paying, right?
00:32:00Of course. I'll be right back. Restroom.
00:32:08Leah? Who is Leah?
00:32:12An image. Look at our little bean.
00:32:17No. It's an ultrasound.
00:32:22Six weeks. Strong heartbeat. Call me.
00:32:26I'm back. What's wrong? You look pale.
00:32:29Just overwhelmed with happiness for us.
00:32:35A toast. To us. To the future.
00:32:38To us.
00:32:40Are you okay? You're quiet.
00:32:44Just thinking.
00:32:46About loyalty.
00:32:48Loyalty's important. That's why we work, right?
00:32:50We're a team.
00:32:51We're a team.
00:32:52A team.
00:33:06Did you do it?
00:33:09She's pregnant.
00:33:12Leah?
00:33:14I saw the text on his phone.
00:33:18The ultrasound.
00:33:19I will destroy him.
00:33:21I will burn his career to the ground tonight.
00:33:24No.
00:33:27Not yet.
00:33:29I need to do it.
00:33:30You're hurting.
00:33:31Let me handle it.
00:33:34I need to be the one to end it.
00:33:38Okay.
00:33:39Go back there.
00:33:41I'll finish it.
00:33:44I'll be right here.
00:34:01I'll be right here.
00:34:02Ready for dessert?
00:34:04No.
00:34:05Check, please.
00:34:06What is wrong with you tonight?
00:34:08Let's go outside.
00:34:11It's over, Irving.
00:34:13What?
00:34:15Don't be dramatic.
00:34:16It's about Leah.
00:34:19It's about the baby.
00:34:22You?
00:34:23How do you know?
00:34:26I saw the message.
00:34:28Congratulations.
00:34:30You're going to be a father.
00:34:32And you're single.
00:34:36You can't just walk away.
00:34:38You're my ticket of fashion week.
00:34:39You owe me.
00:34:41I owe you nothing.
00:34:46Get up.
00:34:47You're making a scene.
00:34:52Touch her again.
00:34:54And you will lose the hand.
00:34:57Mr. Gardner.
00:34:59I...
00:35:00She fell.
00:35:01You are suspended.
00:35:03Security will escort you from the premises.
00:35:06Security escort you from the premises.
00:35:08If you attempt to enter again, I will have you arrested.
00:35:21I'm ruining your car.
00:35:23I'm ruining your suit.
00:35:30You're not ruining anything.
00:35:34You're finally coming home.
00:35:43Turn up the heat.
00:35:44You're already done, sir.
00:35:46My dress is ruined.
00:35:47I look like a disaster.
00:35:49You look free.
00:35:51He's gone, Hallie.
00:35:53He can never hurt you again.
00:35:57He...
00:35:57He pushed me.
00:35:59He actually put his hands on me.
00:36:01And he will pay for it.
00:36:04Finley, call security.
00:36:06Revoke Irving's access tonight.
00:36:09Pack his office into boxes and leave them on the curb.
00:36:15Why are we here?
00:36:16This isn't my apartment.
00:36:17You're not going back there tonight.
00:36:19It's not safe.
00:36:20But all my stuff...
00:36:21We'll buy new stuff.
00:36:30I can walk.
00:36:32Indulge me.
00:36:33Shower.
00:36:34Get warm.
00:36:34I'll find you something dry.
00:36:36Okay.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:39Okay.
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:46Bourbon.
00:36:47It's medicinal.
00:36:48What happens now?
00:36:49Now?
00:36:50We go to S Country.
00:36:51We win Fashion Week.
00:36:53We acquire the brand.
00:36:54And the marriage?
00:36:56The marriage stands.
00:36:57But the terms have changed.
00:36:59No more hiding.
00:37:00You are mine, Hallie.
00:37:01In public and in private.
00:37:04Ezra.
00:37:07For catching me.
00:37:08I will always catch you.
00:37:24You're out.
00:37:25Better?
00:37:25Yes.
00:37:27You're drinking?
00:37:28Finley isn't here yet.
00:37:29The rain.
00:37:30Traffic.
00:37:31You shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.
00:37:33You haven't eaten.
00:37:35I'm fine.
00:37:37I'm fine.
00:37:45You're not fine.
00:37:47It's your leg, isn't it?
00:37:48The alcohol is making it worse.
00:37:49The pain.
00:37:50It dulls the edges.
00:37:52You're heavy.
00:37:53Come on.
00:37:54You need to sit down.
00:37:55Or sleep.
00:37:56Bedroom.
00:37:57Finley.
00:37:58Tell him to go home.
00:38:02Come on.
00:38:14Allie.
00:38:15Ezra.
00:38:16You're in pain.
00:38:17You need to get off.
00:38:18If I move, I might do something I can't take back.
00:38:22Like what?
00:38:24Like never letting you leave this room.
00:38:29Ezra.
00:38:42Good morning.
00:38:49Did you sleep?
00:38:53Ezra.
00:38:55Stay still.
00:38:57Just for a minute.
00:39:08I'm sorry.
00:39:12Allie?
00:39:13I didn't.
00:39:14You were too close.
00:39:15He...
00:39:16He...
00:39:17Irving grabbed me like that.
00:39:19I panicked.
00:39:21You're afraid of me.
00:39:22No.
00:39:23I'm not.
00:39:24I'm just not used to being touched.
00:39:28I am not him.
00:39:29I would never hurt you.
00:39:31I know.
00:39:32But my body doesn't know that yet.
00:39:35Go get changed.
00:39:36Finley will take you to your apartment to get your things.
00:39:38I have a meeting.
00:39:41I have a meeting.
00:39:47I have a meeting.
00:40:06We're closed for lunch.
00:40:07and we don't do alterations on polyester.
00:40:12It's not polyester.
00:40:14It's Italian silk.
00:40:17And I'm not asking for an alteration.
00:40:19I'm asking for a resurrection.
00:40:21Resurrection.
00:40:27This is my work.
00:40:29Where did you get this?
00:40:31It belongs to someone I care about.
00:40:33I damaged it.
00:40:34I need to fix it.
00:40:37The button, do you have it?
00:40:39Do you have it?
00:40:40It's Mother of Pearl.
00:40:42Vintage.
00:40:43No, I lost it.
00:40:45But the tear, it doesn't have to be invisible.
00:40:49The man who wears this isn't perfect.
00:40:52What if the mend was visible?
00:40:55A detail that shows history.
00:40:57You know fabric.
00:40:58More than that, you know the man.
00:41:01The owner.
00:41:02He's impatient.
00:41:06Very impatient.
00:41:07I'm Silas.
00:41:08I'll fix it.
00:41:09But you'll help me select the thread.
00:41:24You tell your friend he owes me a bottle of scotch for this, and tell him not to ruin this
00:41:29one.
00:41:31Ruin the shirt?
00:41:33Sure.
00:41:34The shirt.
00:41:35It'll be ready Saturday.
00:41:36Pick it up at my workshop.
00:41:38It's on Long Island.
00:41:47Ezra.
00:41:50Grandfather?
00:41:51Is everything okay?
00:41:53Better than okay.
00:41:54The girl, Holly.
00:41:56She brought your shirt in.
00:41:58She has a fire in her.
00:41:59I like her.
00:42:01She found you.
00:42:02Of course she did.
00:42:04She thinks my name is a coincidence.
00:42:07Keep it that way.
00:42:08I want her at the birthday gale on Saturday.
00:42:11She thinks she's just picking up laundry.
00:42:17Grandpa, that's entrapment.
00:42:19Call it a stress test.
00:42:22If she can handle our family, she can handle you.
00:42:35Good riddice.
00:42:37Good riddice.
00:42:50Did you tell her?
00:42:53Not yet.
00:42:54I have to play this dinner right.
00:42:56She's suspicious.
00:42:59Just dump her, Irving.
00:43:01I'm pregnant.
00:43:02You promised.
00:43:03I know.
00:43:04But she's close to Gartner now.
00:43:06If I play the supportive boyfriend, I get into the S-Country delegation.
00:43:11Once I have the contacts, I drop her.
00:43:13Simple.
00:43:14She's so pathetic.
00:43:15She actually thinks you love her?
00:43:18She's used to concepts for my pitch.
00:43:23Once I have the files, she's history.
00:43:32He called me pathetic.
00:43:36He called me useful.
00:43:41A private fight is too small for a public humiliation.
00:43:46The reckoning will be public.
00:43:56No, not his tower.
00:43:58Not his help.
00:43:59I'll pay my own way.
00:44:02I'll pay my own way.
00:44:17Reservation for Andrews.
00:44:20Miss?
00:44:22Are you okay?
00:44:24Just...
00:44:25Tired.
00:44:32Miss?
00:44:42Hallie?
00:44:43Ezra?
00:44:44Help?
00:44:46Where are you?
00:44:49Standard.
00:44:51Lobby.
00:44:53Don't move.
00:44:54I'm three minutes away.
00:45:03Hallie, talk to me.
00:45:05Stomach.
00:45:06Knives.
00:45:10My car is out front to Mount Sinai.
00:45:12Go!
00:45:15Clear the room.
00:45:16I'll take this.
00:45:16I'm Dr. Gardner Solon, Ezra's aunt.
00:45:19And you must be the girl who made him run a red line.
00:45:22It's acute gastritis.
00:45:24Stress-induced.
00:45:25We're going to stop the pain.
00:45:31You're awake.
00:45:33Did I die?
00:45:35No.
00:45:36But you tried your best to give me a heart attack.
00:45:39I'm sorry.
00:45:41I didn't mean to call you.
00:45:45It was an accident.
00:45:47Who else would you call?
00:45:52911?
00:45:54I'm faster than 911.
00:45:57She's stable.
00:45:59You're staying overnight.
00:46:03I can't afford a private room.
00:46:05It's covered.
00:46:08Employee benefits.
00:46:09Employee benefits.
00:46:10Go to sleep, Hallie.
00:46:15I'm not leaving.
00:46:19Exa, you didn't have to come.
00:46:27Why do I get poached salmon while you're eating cardboard?
00:46:32You have a delicate stomach.
00:46:34I have one of steel.
00:46:38I'm Venmo-ing you for this.
00:46:47You want me to buy you dinner?
00:46:49You own the restaurant.
00:46:55I want a home-cooked meal.
00:46:57I can cook.
00:47:02Prove it.
00:47:05Where is the invalid?
00:47:08We had to see the woman who finally made Ezra Gardner leave aboard me.
00:47:14Get out.
00:47:16Hi.
00:47:18I'm Luke.
00:47:20Ezra talks about you.
00:47:21A lot.
00:47:22He talks about me?
00:47:25I mentioned my assistant.
00:47:27Once.
00:47:28Once?
00:47:29You almost bought out her coffee shop because they kept messing up her latte.
00:47:37You did what?
00:47:43Out!
00:47:44She needs to rest.
00:47:51Did you really threaten to buy my coffee shop?
00:47:55It was a strategic assessment of real estate value.
00:47:59You're a terrible liar, Exa.
00:48:01I'm a very good liar.
00:48:06But with you, it's becoming difficult.
00:48:10Why?
00:48:12Because you see too much.
00:48:22Vitals check.
00:48:32What the?
00:48:33It's just...
00:48:34gone.
00:48:35Don't go in.
00:48:37The place smells like a sewer.
00:48:40Irvin did this.
00:48:42No.
00:48:44The landlord.
00:48:45See the paper stapled to the wall?
00:48:47Eviction notice.
00:48:48He never told me.
00:48:49He just took the door?
00:48:50But my boxes.
00:48:52My clothes.
00:48:53Leave them.
00:48:53Everything in there is contaminated.
00:48:55It's not safe.
00:48:55I can't just leave.
00:48:57I can't just leave everything I own.
00:48:59Hallie, look at me.
00:49:00It's stuff.
00:49:02We can replace stuff.
00:49:04I can't replace you if some junkie attacks you in there.
00:49:07Where do I go?
00:49:08I have nowhere.
00:49:11You come with me.
00:49:12The penthouse.
00:49:14No.
00:49:15I can't live with you.
00:49:16It crosses a line.
00:49:18The line was crossed
00:49:19when I carried you out of a hotel lobby bleeding.
00:49:22I need my own space.
00:49:23I need to pay for it myself.
00:49:25Fine.
00:49:26The Gardner Tower has corporate suites.
00:49:2940th floor.
00:49:30Secure.
00:49:30Private.
00:49:31How much?
00:49:33Employee rate.
00:49:35$50 a night.
00:49:38$50?
00:49:39For a Manhattan suite?
00:49:41You're lying.
00:49:42Do you want the room or the street?
00:49:50It has a door.
00:49:59What are you doing?
00:50:01Checking for bugs, cameras, listening devices.
00:50:04You're paranoid.
00:50:06I'm careful.
00:50:08I'm in the penthouse, 10 floors up.
00:50:11Private elevator code is 0815.
00:50:14Use it if you need anything.
00:50:160815?
00:50:17Is that a date?
00:50:18The SEC filing date for our last major acquisition.
00:50:22Get some sleep.
00:50:23Lock the door.
00:50:31You wanted him so badly, Leah.
00:50:34You stole him.
00:50:35You lied for him.
00:50:38So thank you for taking out my trash.
00:50:43She's so pathetic.
00:50:44I just need her to sketch the concepts.
00:50:47Once I have the files, she's history.
00:50:49She actually thinks you love her.
00:50:51God, remember that scarf?
00:50:52Love?
00:50:53Please.
00:50:54I'm doing this for your uncle's trust fund.
00:50:56Once we're married and the baby secures my stake,
00:50:59I can finally stop pretending to care.
00:51:02You son of a bitch!
00:51:05No!
00:51:05Uncle Ray, stop!
00:51:06He didn't mean it!
00:51:08Get off me!
00:51:09I'll sue you!
00:51:11I'll...
00:51:19Allie?
00:51:20I did it.
00:51:22I blew it up.
00:51:24Irving confessed to fraud on tape.
00:51:27The police were arriving.
00:51:29Good.
00:51:30So why do you look like you lost?
00:51:32Because it doesn't change anything.
00:51:34I'm still the girl who was fooled for three years.
00:51:37You're the girl who fought back.
00:51:39Most people would have cried.
00:51:41You burned his world down.
00:51:45Welcome to the club.
00:51:49I just got a text.
00:51:50My repair is ready for pickup in Southampton.
00:51:54Southampton?
00:51:55I have a house out there.
00:51:59I'm heading out tomorrow morning.
00:52:00I can give you a lift.
00:52:02Really?
00:52:04That would be great.
00:52:06Or to meet your night-night.
00:52:09It's on the way.
00:52:10Go to bed, Hallie.
00:52:14We leave at 9.
00:52:22Is there a party?
00:52:24It appears to be a formal event.
00:52:26You can't go in wearing that.
00:52:34Put this on.
00:52:35The back seat is private.
00:52:38What?
00:52:38No.
00:52:39I'm not crashing a party.
00:52:41My grandfather would be insulted if you didn't stay.
00:52:43You will be respected.
00:52:46Change.
00:52:57Allie!
00:52:59You came!
00:53:00Silas?
00:53:06Grandfather.
00:53:10Grandfather!
00:53:11Come in!
00:53:12Come in!
00:53:12Everyone is dying to meet you!
00:53:15Thra, what is going on?
00:53:17You said he was a tailor.
00:53:19He is.
00:53:20He just happens to own the company too.
00:53:22And this is his 80th birthday gala.
00:53:25I am going to kill you.
00:53:28Smile.
00:53:29If you run now, you humiliate him and me.
00:53:45Ezra, you brought a date?
00:53:49Camila, meet Hala.
00:54:00My fiancé.
00:54:05You deliberately paraded me in front of her?
00:54:09You used our arrangement to provoke your ex-girlfriend without a single warning?
00:54:16I was establishing your position.
00:54:19As my fiancé, you need to get used to swatting away flies like Camila.
00:54:23She looked at me like I was something she'd scrape off her shoe.
00:54:26She's dangerous, Axel.
00:54:27I know.
00:54:29She's also vindictive.
00:54:30If she thinks you're just an employee, she'll destroy you for sport.
00:54:33If she believes this is real, she has to hesitate.
00:54:35You have no idea who she is to me.
00:54:37What that family represents.
00:54:39I know you've been investigating Senator Grimes.
00:54:42My security team flagged your deep dives into his financials.
00:54:46You've been watching me?
00:54:48Svother, I've been protecting my assets.
00:54:52You are one of them.
00:54:54That man's corruption cost my family everyone.
00:54:58That's all you need to know.
00:54:59Then you need this protection even more.
00:55:02I didn't sign up to be a weapon in your personal vendas.
00:55:06Irving has poisoned your reputation.
00:55:08He's telling everyone you stole designs.
00:55:11Even with him gone, the rumors will stick.
00:55:13But as Hallie Gardner, you become untouchable.
00:55:18And what do you get?
00:55:20My grandfather off my back.
00:55:21And as my wife, you'll have the power to face the Senator directly.
00:55:26So it's a transaction.
00:55:28It's an escalation of our contract.
00:55:31One year.
00:55:32We live together.
00:55:34We play the part.
00:55:35You get access, protection, and resources.
00:55:39I get stability.
00:55:40And the...
00:55:42Physical terms?
00:55:46No forced intimacy.
00:55:49Unless you want it.
00:55:51Cake time!
00:55:52Come on, lovebirds!
00:56:00Okay.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:05Let's go cut a cake, darling.
00:56:09One year.
00:56:14I have no intention of letting you go in a year.
00:56:17I'm playing the long game.
00:56:21Stop the car.
00:56:22We're 40 minutes from the city, Hallie.
00:56:24Go back to sleep.
00:56:25I said, stop the car.
00:56:28No.
00:56:32Put that back on.
00:56:34You manipulated me.
00:56:35You paraded me around like a trophy just to scare off your ex-girlfriend.
00:56:39I gave you a shield.
00:56:41As my fiancée, Camilla can't touch you.
00:56:44I don't want a shield that comes with a leash.
00:56:46You didn't ask me!
00:56:47Because you were drowning.
00:56:48And I don't let my investments drown.
00:56:51An investment?
00:56:52Is that what I am?
00:56:54Pull over, Extra.
00:56:55Or I swear to God, I will open this door right now!
00:56:58Stop!
00:57:01You are reckless.
00:57:04I am free.
00:57:12Get back in the car, Hallie.
00:57:15No.
00:57:16I'm not going back to your tower.
00:57:18I'm not going back to your rules.
00:57:19And where are you going to go?
00:57:21It's 2 a.m.
00:57:21You're in a ball gown on the expressway.
00:57:25I'll figure it out.
00:57:26I'm calling an Uber.
00:57:28Fine.
00:57:29You want independence?
00:57:31Have it.
00:57:41No cars available?
00:57:43No, no, no!
00:57:47Pick up the phone, Hallie.
00:57:48Just call a car.
00:57:50I hate you!
00:57:51You are an arrogant, controlling jerk!
00:57:54Message not delivered?
00:57:55No service?
00:57:57Fine.
00:57:58I don't need you either.
00:58:03Hey.
00:58:04You haven't eaten.
00:58:06I got you a tuna melt.
00:58:22No.
00:58:23Please, no.
00:58:24No.
00:58:25Please, no.
00:58:31Well, well, well.
00:58:32What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:58:35Go away, Leah.
00:58:36I'm here for my prenatal checkup.
00:58:38Irving and I need to look like a perfect, happy family.
00:58:42What are you hiding?
00:58:46Nothing.
00:58:49Hey!
00:58:50Give that back!
00:58:52Oh, my God.
00:58:53A pregnancy test?
00:58:55You?
00:58:57Give it back.
00:59:00Who's the daddy, Hallie?
00:59:01Is it Irvin?
00:59:03Or that billionaire you're trying to scam?
00:59:06Shut up!
00:59:07You don't know what you're talking about!
00:59:08I know exactly what you are.
00:59:10A desperate little climber.
00:59:12Irving told me everything.
00:59:14Leah, stop.
00:59:15Or what?
00:59:16You'll cry?
00:59:17Like your mother cried when your dad left her?
00:59:26What did you say?
00:59:27Irving told me about your mommy issues.
00:59:30About how your mother was some groupie who couldn't keep her legs shut.
00:59:38You bitch!
00:59:40My baby!
00:59:41She pushed me!
00:59:42Help!
00:59:42She's trying to kill my baby!
00:59:48That girl just shoved a pregnant woman.
00:59:49Call security!
00:59:51I didn't...
00:59:52You are insane.
00:59:56You're done.
00:59:58I'm going to sue you for everything.
01:00:00I'll make sure Ezra knows you're a violent psycho who attacks pregnant women.
01:00:05I'm going to sue you for the next time.
01:00:20Know your place, trash.
01:00:32I wouldn't do that.
01:00:33Let go of me! Who do you think you are?
01:00:40Mr. Gardner?
01:00:42Hallie, are you hurt?
01:00:46She stepped on you.
01:00:49I'm fine.
01:00:52She started it! She pushed me! I'm pregnant!
01:00:57Finley.
01:01:00Sir, I have the security footage.
01:01:02It shows Ms. Vance initiating the conferencing, stealing medical documents, and assaulting Andrews with a weapon.
01:01:08Weapon? It was a shoe!
01:01:12Assault with a deadly weapon.
01:01:13And since you're claiming pregnancy, we'll add child endangerment.
01:01:19No police! Please!
01:01:22Oh, the police are the least of your problems.
01:01:24Vance Imports. That's your father's company, correct?
01:01:27Yes.
01:01:29They have a bridge loan with my company.
01:01:31I just instructed my CFO to call it in. Tonight.
01:01:34You can't. That will bankrupt us.
01:01:36You should have thought of that before you touched my fiancée.
01:01:41Let's go, Hallie.
01:01:43I can't.
01:01:45Why were you here?
01:01:47Were you following me?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49I was worried.
01:01:51You disappeared. You haven't answered my calls.
01:01:54Because you blocked me!
01:01:56You left me on the highway and then you cut me off!
01:02:01Blocked you?
01:02:03I never blocked you. Look.
01:02:17Hallie, get in the car. Let me take you home.
01:02:20No.
01:02:21I can't do this.
01:02:22The tracking, the fighting.
01:02:24I just need to be alone.
01:02:28Hallie.
01:02:29I'm leaving.
01:02:31I'm leaving.
01:02:37Fiancée, he said he didn't block me.
01:02:43Hallie, I know you're in there.
01:02:47Go away!
01:02:48I'm calling the police!
01:03:01You think you're better than me?
01:03:04Get away from me!
01:03:06You're going to pay for what you did!
01:03:09Let's see if he still wants you after I'm done with you.
01:03:13Ezra! Ezra! Help!
01:03:22You're dead!
01:03:24No! Let me go!
01:03:28I'm going to make you pay for that!
01:03:38Somebody help me!
01:03:42What?
01:03:57Ezra, stop!
01:03:58You're going to kill him!
01:04:01Please stop! You're scaring me!
01:04:06Ezra, look at me!
01:04:09Look at me!
01:04:18Did he...
01:04:19Did he touch you?
01:04:24No.
01:04:25You came.
01:04:27You came.
01:04:29The S.O.S. came through.
01:04:31Just a location.
01:04:34When I heard you scream...
01:04:39I thought I was too late.
01:04:47Clear the area.
01:04:49Secure the perimeter.
01:04:51Police are two minutes out.
01:04:54Get them out of my way.
01:04:56Ezra, she needs a medic.
01:05:00She needs me.
01:05:02We're leaving.
01:05:04We're leaving.
01:05:19Ezra, this needs stitches.
01:05:23Okay.
01:05:24It's fine.
01:05:26It's not fine!
01:05:28None of this is fine, Hallie.
01:05:31You almost died tonight.
01:05:33Because you're stubborn.
01:05:34Because you think you have to prove something.
01:05:37I just wanted to be independent.
01:05:40Independence is useless if you're dead.
01:05:45Listen to me.
01:05:46No more games.
01:05:49No more running away.
01:05:52Okay.
01:05:53You are moving in with me tonight.
01:05:56Permanently.
01:06:06I'm not asking, Hallie.
01:06:08I can't function knowing you're out there unprotected.
01:06:12I can't breathe.
01:06:16Okay.
01:06:17Say it again.
01:06:18Say it again.
01:06:19I'll move in.
01:06:40Finley.
01:06:41Take us home.
01:06:44Take us home.
01:06:55I need to check your ribs.
01:06:56He sat on you.
01:06:59I know.
01:07:04Does this hurt?
01:07:06A little.
01:07:08Bruised, but not broken.
01:07:09Here.
01:07:23Where are you going?
01:07:25Don't leave.
01:07:27I'll take the couch.
01:07:28I won't be far.
01:07:30No.
01:07:31Stay.
01:07:31Please.
01:07:32I don't want to be alone.
01:07:36Hallie.
01:07:45Come here.
01:07:47Ezra?
01:07:48How did you know where I was before I called you?
01:07:52I put a tracker in your purse.
01:07:55You what?
01:07:56Before you get angry.
01:07:57I did it after Irving pushed you in the rain.
01:08:04I knew he was unstable.
01:08:08A tracker?
01:08:10Hallie?
01:08:11I'm not angry.
01:08:14I'm thinking about his hands on my throat
01:08:16and how you broke down the door.
01:08:20You're not?
01:08:22No.
01:08:29I will always find you, Hallie.
01:08:31Always.
01:08:37You tore the scar tissue again.
01:08:40Dr. Slolar is going to kill you.
01:08:44It was worth it.
01:08:48Six flights, Ezra.
01:08:50You ran up six flights of stairs.
01:08:53Six flights?
01:08:55You ran?
01:08:58Hallie.
01:09:00Good morning.
01:09:04Why would you do that to your leg?
01:09:07There was no time to wait for the fire department.
01:09:11I couldn't wait for you.
01:09:13You idiot.
01:09:16I've been cold worse.
01:09:24I was going to do this properly.
01:09:26With candles and music.
01:09:28But I think we're past that.
01:09:30Hallie.
01:09:31Marry me.
01:09:32For real.
01:09:33Not for a year.
01:09:34Not for protection.
01:09:36Marry me because last night,
01:09:37the thought of my life without you,
01:09:38it was unbearable.
01:09:41Is this because I might be pregnant?
01:09:48You might be pregnant?
01:09:50I missed my period.
01:09:51I was at the clinic to get tested when Leah attacked.
01:09:54I never got the results.
01:09:58It doesn't matter.
01:10:00Pregnant or not,
01:10:01I want you.
01:10:04Okay.
01:10:12Finley.
01:10:14Get the car.
01:10:15We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:16Then City Hall.
01:10:17We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:17We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
01:10:18We're going to the hospital first.
