00:00:02One game, one trophy, one champion.
00:00:05You are watching the Super Bowl, and we are live from the Veterans Memorial Stadium.
00:00:12Unbelievable!
00:00:14Charles Duncan does it again.
00:00:17His third Super Bowl title.
00:00:25And there she is, Lydia, Hollywood's golden girl.
00:00:28What a perfect couple.
00:00:33Boy, sweet boy, if you know the divorce papers are in,
00:00:36you can drop the act and cut the shit, alright?
00:00:39Whatever you say.
00:00:45Cheers, boys.
00:00:57Do I really have to wear this?
00:00:59Unless you have another way to pay off your debt, then yes.
00:01:01Pull it up, not down, you'll get more tips.
00:01:06No, I signed a fucking pre-
00:01:08If this divorce goes through, I get nothing.
00:01:22Oh my, I am, I am so sorry I didn't see you there.
00:01:26Are you fucking blind?
00:01:27Blind?
00:01:28You idiot!
00:01:41You good?
00:01:49Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-
00:01:54She dumped a whole tray on me.
00:01:57I just reacted.
00:01:58Anyone would do the same.
00:01:59So, you're the victim?
00:02:03Charles, don't you remember that I'm your wife?
00:02:07Oh, of course.
00:02:08My sweet, dear wife.
00:02:11That is why I am fixing this.
00:02:13So that you don't continue to drag my name through the fucking mud.
00:02:20I think that's gonna swell.
00:02:22I can get you some ice if you'd like.
00:02:24Yeah, thanks.
00:02:30Guess she really is your type, huh, Charles?
00:02:33Let's see how much she's worth to you.
00:02:40This might sting a little bit.
00:02:42Uh, no, I can take care of myself, sir.
00:02:48Sir?
00:02:49You really not remember me?
00:02:52No, sorry.
00:02:53Do we know each other?
00:02:54It's Charles.
00:02:55From Langham Street.
00:02:57Joyce Bennett.
00:02:58We were neighbors.
00:02:59I heard Nate invited you to his game on your birthday.
00:03:01You're not going, are you?
00:03:02You know what I mean?
00:03:03I like football, not basketball.
00:03:05Super Bowl or nothing.
00:03:09Hey, Joyce.
00:03:11Oh, I made you something.
00:03:14Happy early birthday.
00:03:16Aw, this nerd's also obsessed with you.
00:03:18What's this?
00:03:19Something you found in the trash?
00:03:20You don't say that.
00:03:21It's not funny.
00:03:23I love it.
00:03:25I'm having a birthday party tomorrow.
00:03:26You should come, please.
00:03:37That was you?
00:03:39What?
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41Big surprise.
00:03:42The skinny awkward kid survived.
00:03:45You've changed.
00:03:46A lot.
00:03:50Well, you haven't changed one bit.
00:04:15I should probably get back before everyone's wondering where I am.
00:04:21Take this.
00:04:23Call me sometime.
00:04:24It's good to see you, Joyce.
00:04:34Okay, look.
00:04:35I told you that I'm trying to get the money.
00:04:37I'm working really hard for it.
00:04:38You can't just break into my house.
00:04:40That's...
00:04:41Hi, Joyce.
00:04:44Miss me?
00:04:49You know, your father owed me a million dollars.
00:04:52Now, I'm a reasonable man.
00:04:54I know how hard it is for a girl like you to come up with that kind of money.
00:04:58So I'm gonna offer you another way out.
00:05:01No wonder Charles likes you.
00:05:03What a sweet face.
00:05:05You could trick anyone.
00:05:08Just tell me what you want from me.
00:05:10Something simple.
00:05:11Seduce Charles.
00:05:13Get proof of him cheating on me.
00:05:15Why would you want that he's your husband?
00:05:23Because he dares to divorce me.
00:05:26And I'm not going to let him win.
00:05:29Understand?
00:05:30I can't.
00:05:32Charles and I, we used to know each other.
00:05:34I will find another way to pay extra.
00:05:36I don't think you understand, sweetheart.
00:05:39You have no choice.
00:05:40You have one month.
00:05:43And if you say one word to Charles, he's going to lose things worth a lot more than money.
00:05:51I look forward to hearing the good news.
00:06:14Hi.
00:06:15Hey, why didn't you pick up earlier?
00:06:16And why are all the cameras offline?
00:06:18You hiding something from me?
00:06:19You bring some guy home?
00:06:20Uh, no.
00:06:21There was, um, there was a power outage, but everything's fine now.
00:06:25Power outage?
00:06:25And why are you home so late?
00:06:28I just, I picked up a sidekick after work.
00:06:30That's all.
00:06:31Well, great.
00:06:31I hope it pays well.
00:06:32Mm-hmm.
00:06:33Look, babe, you know I'm only harsh on you because I want a better future for us.
00:06:37I'm actually very happy that you decided to save for a wedding.
00:06:39But be good.
00:06:41Okay?
00:07:01Hey.
00:07:03Hey, who's coming into the office today?
00:07:08How do you think it could change my whole career?
00:07:12Ew.
00:07:13Seriously?
00:07:14Joyce, you show up like this today?
00:07:15You didn't hear?
00:07:16Somebody big is visiting the office today.
00:07:19Like, really big.
00:07:20Top of the industry.
00:07:21If they're scouting for brand reps, I surely hope they pick somebody who looks the part.
00:07:25Well, I think that fools a few people out, doesn't it?
00:07:29Boo.
00:07:38Oh my god, so sorry.
00:07:41Didn't see you there.
00:08:02Charles Duncan.
00:08:04I'm not hallucinating, am I?
00:08:07What's going on here?
00:08:08Nothing.
00:08:10Deborah.
00:08:10Joyce just tripped.
00:08:11You know, she's always been a little clumsy.
00:08:16Mr. Duncan, it's an honor to have you here.
00:08:19To make sure everything runs smoothly, we'd like to assign you a personal assistant for this campaign.
00:08:25Mr. Duncan, I've led several brand partnerships before and I'd love to help you with anything you need.
00:08:32I do brand photo shoots.
00:08:34I know the whole process inside and out.
00:08:39I look forward to hearing the good news.
00:08:47Joyce, this is very ambitious, don't you think?
00:08:52Mr. Duncan, what do you think?
00:08:56I think...
00:09:03Her.
00:09:08Mr. Duncan, she's not even qualified.
00:09:11She didn't finish college.
00:09:12I think she'll do just fine.
00:09:14And for the record, bullying is unacceptable.
00:09:18Everybody saw what you did.
00:09:19She didn't trip.
00:09:20You pushed her.
00:09:21If that's how you run your establishment, I'd like to rethink my endorsement.
00:09:25That was our mistake, Mr. Duncan.
00:09:27Why don't you apologize to Joyce?
00:09:29Now.
00:09:31Sorry.
00:09:33Why don't we make sure nothing like that never happens again, okay?
00:09:37This is the preliminary schedule.
00:09:39Call time is 9am for the photo shoot tomorrow.
00:09:43You still bite your lip when you're nervous, huh?
00:09:48This way, Mr. Duncan.
00:09:53Don't get too comfortable.
00:09:54We'll see if you last.
00:10:09Come in.
00:10:13Bounce.
00:10:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:25It's alright.
00:10:26You're right on time.
00:10:29You ever tie a tie before?
00:10:30I don't know how to tie a tie.
00:10:33Well, that's alright.
00:10:34It's not that hard.
00:10:35I'll give you some pointers.
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:38I should be ready to tie.
00:10:50That doesn't seem right.
00:10:52Okay, wait.
00:10:53I'm just making things worse.
00:10:54I don't think so.
00:10:56I would have to do no wrong by me.
00:11:16Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:18I didn't mean to.
00:11:20If I didn't know you already, I would think that you're trying to seduce me.
00:11:23Oh, no.
00:11:24Does he know?
00:11:25What do you mean?
00:11:25Joyce, what happened to you?
00:11:29You and your whole family, you just vanished one day.
00:11:32I heard rumors, and I looked for you.
00:11:34Believe it or not, I never found you.
00:11:39Mr. Duncan!
00:11:41Deborah asked me to...
00:11:44Don't come in!
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:47I'll get this.
00:11:49Okay.
00:11:54What's up?
00:11:55Mr. Duncan.
00:11:56They're about to start shooting.
00:11:57They really...
00:11:58need you.
00:11:59Great.
00:12:00I'll be there in a minute.
00:12:07Joyce, you bitch.
00:12:10How dare you.
00:12:14Just got a text.
00:12:15They'll be here any second.
00:12:18Hey, guys.
00:12:20Mr. Duncan.
00:12:21You look great.
00:12:22The model is still in the makeup chair.
00:12:24Would your sister mind standing in for a moment?
00:12:25Me?
00:12:26Yeah, right over here.
00:12:27Stand right here.
00:12:29I'm gonna be fun.
00:12:30It's fun.
00:12:31It's fun.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:34Mr. Duncan, a little closer.
00:12:36Hand on her shoulder.
00:12:40Beautiful.
00:12:45Just look at me.
00:12:47Okay?
00:12:51Just a little closer.
00:12:57Miss?
00:12:58Could you soften up a little bit?
00:13:00Just more affectionate.
00:13:01Just like what he did.
00:13:09Aren't we a little too close?
00:13:11Aren't we too close?
00:13:12Well, it's fine.
00:13:17You gotta commit to this, or else we won't get the right angles.
00:13:22Watch out!
00:13:38I'm fine.
00:13:40No, you're not.
00:13:41How did that light fall?
00:13:43Who touched it?
00:13:43It was her.
00:13:44I just saw her messing with it.
00:13:46What?
00:13:46No.
00:13:48Let go of me.
00:13:49What have you done?
00:13:51I just wanted to scare her.
00:13:53Why does someone like her get to stand next to Charles Duncan?
00:13:56I'm the one who's more qualified.
00:13:58I didn't mean to hurt him.
00:13:59Please forgive me.
00:13:59I promise.
00:14:00I swear.
00:14:00Take her away.
00:14:01Call the police.
00:14:02No.
00:14:03No.
00:14:05Remember the mints that you used to carry her up?
00:14:08Remember?
00:14:10Yeah, but...
00:14:11Give me one.
00:14:13It'll make me feel better.
00:14:18Yeah.
00:14:23See?
00:14:26All there.
00:14:30Charles.
00:14:31Hey.
00:14:33No, Charles.
00:14:34Hey!
00:14:35Somebody help!
00:14:36Hey!
00:14:40Charles, if I can get you to sit up real quick.
00:14:43Okay, well that injury's looking serious, so keep it dry for the next couple weeks, okay?
00:14:47What is your relationship to the patient?
00:14:50We're friends.
00:14:53We're friends.
00:14:55Why did you say that?
00:14:56We're friends.
00:14:58You're hurt because of me.
00:15:00I deserve to call myself your friend.
00:15:03This isn't your fault.
00:15:05You did nothing wrong.
00:15:06It's just a scratch and I'm gonna be fine.
00:15:08I'll be back at practice tomorrow.
00:15:10Well, Miss Assistant or friend or whatever you are, payments are gonna kick in any minute.
00:15:20Joyce, you can't fall for him.
00:15:23Seduced Charles.
00:15:27How can I selfishly destroy you?
00:15:32Don't leave me again.
00:15:34I've been waiting for you to come back for so long.
00:15:45I'm gonna go get you some food.
00:15:50Joyce, hold on a second.
00:15:51Don't leave.
00:15:53Hey, okay.
00:15:56Look, I was half asleep.
00:15:58I don't know what I said, but I know it was crazy.
00:16:00Please just don't read into it.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:05But what were you dreaming about?
00:16:09Mrs. Duncan, this way please.
00:16:11Mr. Duncan's room is right ahead.
00:16:15Lydia, what the hell is she doing here?
00:16:19Okay, come here.
00:16:35Where is he?
00:16:37Where is he?
00:16:38That's strange.
00:16:39I didn't see Mr. Duncan leave.
00:16:41I'll check with the doctor.
00:16:49The bed sheets are still warm.
00:16:51What the hell is going on?
00:16:55Joyce, why are you freaking out?
00:17:26What?
00:17:27What?
00:17:31No, I don't know where Charles was run off to
00:17:33and that little bitch Joyce is nowhere to be found.
00:17:47No, I don't know where Charles was run off to
00:17:49and that little bitch Joyce is nowhere to be found.
00:18:05No, I completely understand where you're coming from,
00:18:08but obviously that little bitch Joyce doesn't give a fuck about our deal.
00:18:18Hey Joyce.
00:18:19Mm-hmm.
00:18:21What was the deal that you made with Lydia?
00:18:23Get proof of him cheating on me.
00:18:25Nothing.
00:18:26Nothing.
00:18:26No.
00:18:27I mean not the deal.
00:18:29When I became your assistant, she just asked me to take good care of you and that's all.
00:18:40It's very interesting because that doesn't sound like her at all.
00:18:45You're married, aren't you?
00:18:50Oh, I am sorry.
00:18:51Nope.
00:18:52I shouldn't have asked that.
00:18:53That's um...
00:18:53No, it's okay.
00:18:55Look, I'll always be honest with you Joyce.
00:19:00That marriage was just a contract.
00:19:03And it's over.
00:19:05So you never had any feelings for her?
00:19:08No.
00:19:10Not at all.
00:19:12Then what about me?
00:19:21I should go home.
00:19:24Hey Joyce.
00:19:26It's pretty late.
00:19:28Why don't you let me drive you home?
00:19:30No.
00:19:30No, you're back.
00:19:31It still hurt. You can't.
00:19:32It's fine.
00:19:34You know me.
00:19:36I've got thick skin.
00:19:37I've used halves since I was a little kid.
00:19:40It's gonna be better before you even know it better.
00:19:44How can I say no?
00:19:52Thank you for...
00:19:54everything.
00:19:57Joyce?
00:20:00I just wanted to let you know
00:20:01that if...
00:20:03you ever feel like something is...
00:20:06weighing on you...
00:20:10you don't have to carry it alone.
00:20:15Goodnight.
00:20:17Goodnight.
00:20:35Joe.
00:20:39Who's that man?
00:20:44You're hurting me.
00:20:48Answer me!
00:20:50Look, he's just my boss.
00:20:53We were on set all day.
00:20:56Your boss.
00:20:58And he drove you home...
00:21:00alone?
00:21:02Do you really think I'm that fucking stupid, Joyce?
00:21:05I just flew back from the UK to see what you've been doing.
00:21:07Last time the cameras went offline for an hour.
00:21:09I didn't sleep all fucking night.
00:21:10And so why don't you tell me...
00:21:12how long have you been fucking him?
00:21:17You're scaring me.
00:21:20I swear...
00:21:21We were...
00:21:23Don't lie to me.
00:21:26Look...
00:21:27If you don't trust me...
00:21:30maybe...
00:21:30maybe we shouldn't be together.
00:21:35Maybe we shouldn't be together.
00:21:37You're ridiculous.
00:21:39You think someone is gonna honestly marry a college dropout like you?
00:21:44I...
00:21:45I only dropped out because you made me.
00:21:47I paid for your tuition.
00:21:49Do you remember that?
00:21:50You pissed me off so I could cut it off anytime that I wanted it.
00:21:54I paid you back.
00:21:56Every cent.
00:21:57I paid you back.
00:21:58I worked nights for it.
00:22:00Joyce, I took care of you when you had nothing, okay?
00:22:03When you were nobody.
00:22:03When you had nowhere to go.
00:22:05You're mine, okay?
00:22:06That means you fucking owe me!
00:22:09Because look at you.
00:22:12Who else would even care about you?
00:22:13If I push him now, he'll destroy me.
00:22:18My life is already hanging on by a thread.
00:22:21I can't afford that.
00:22:24I shouldn't have made you worry.
00:22:27Okay?
00:22:28Please don't be mad.
00:22:32You know that I only worry because I love you so much.
00:22:38I crossed an ocean for you.
00:22:42Just...
00:22:43Don't make me feel like this again, okay?
00:22:50Good girl.
00:22:52Oh, I, uh, brought in the packages for you.
00:23:08What is it?
00:23:09What's going on?
00:23:16What the hell is that?
00:23:18I don't...
00:23:18I don't know.
00:23:19Some sick prank, I guess.
00:23:22Prank?
00:23:22You sure?
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:26I'll handle it.
00:23:52That wasn't a prank.
00:23:53It was a warning from Lydia.
00:23:56I don't have time anymore.
00:23:57I have to move faster.
00:23:59I have to get closer to...
00:24:02Charles!
00:24:09Hey.
00:24:10Hey.
00:24:11What are you doing here?
00:24:13Just wanted to come see you.
00:24:16Well, I'm not really used to you saying that.
00:24:18Well, yeah, um, and I wanted to go over some more things to...
00:24:22I'm kidding. I'm happy that you're here.
00:24:24It's a pleasant surprise.
00:24:27You alright?
00:24:29You look a little...
00:24:30No, everything's fine. I just didn't really sleep much last night.
00:24:33Maybe you just gotta get moving.
00:24:35Get the blood pumping.
00:24:37Throw a few passes.
00:24:39Throw a few pa...
00:24:39I've literally never done that before in my life.
00:24:42Good thing it's simple.
00:24:44Okay.
00:24:47First, the grip.
00:24:50Plant your feet.
00:24:54It's a little hard.
00:24:56And why don't you aim for that little pose a little?
00:25:00Okay.
00:25:09Alright.
00:25:10No!
00:25:10What?
00:25:11That was crazy!
00:25:19Ha, oops.
00:25:20My bad, it slipped.
00:25:22What?
00:25:23You get injured once and you can't train anymore?
00:25:26Hiding over here while you flirt.
00:25:29Mark, you keep looking for trouble, I'm gonna give it to you.
00:25:32Hey!
00:25:33Don't act like I didn't warn you.
00:25:35The next game is crucial.
00:25:37Don't let some...
00:25:38chick throw you off your game.
00:25:43Ugh.
00:25:46You alright?
00:25:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:49You know, you saving me is starting to seem like a pattern.
00:25:53You know, ever since we were little and you left,
00:25:56I always hoped that you were doing way better than I could ever imagine.
00:26:01And if for some reason you're not,
00:26:04I hope you can let me help out.
00:26:08Just like you did with me when I was little.
00:26:12Should I tell him everything?
00:26:16No, I can't.
00:26:18And if you say one word to Charles,
00:26:22he's going to lose things worth a lot more than money.
00:26:28Um, how about...
00:26:30You just tell me what I can do to repay you for saving me so much.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:36I have a few ideas.
00:26:39Yeah?
00:26:41There's a dinner party tonight.
00:26:43Why don't you come with me?
00:26:47I feel like it's for people like you.
00:26:50Like...
00:26:51Celebrities.
00:26:52And not...
00:26:53I wouldn't fit in.
00:26:53I shouldn't go.
00:26:55Oh, okay.
00:26:56Well, um...
00:26:58How about you just consider it work?
00:27:02Would that help?
00:27:11Look at me.
00:27:13I don't even deserve to stand next to him.
00:27:19Hello?
00:27:20Miss Bennett?
00:27:21Yes?
00:27:23Oh.
00:27:25Mr. Duncan asked us to handle your styling for tonight.
00:27:31My styling?
00:27:33Everything here was selected just for you.
00:27:36We're here to make sure you shine.
00:27:41I'll pick you up tonight.
00:27:55One more thing.
00:27:56Oh, I love it.
00:27:57Final touch.
00:27:58Thank you guys.
00:28:09Joe.
00:28:14You've looked beautiful.
00:28:18Yes.
00:28:19Miss Bennett is truly a vision.
00:28:21Yeah, she is.
00:28:22She is.
00:28:23But where are you going dressed like that?
00:28:26I have an important event.
00:28:28It's just work.
00:28:29Oh, well.
00:28:31If it's just work, then fine.
00:28:34But, uh, be careful, okay?
00:28:37Don't make me worry again.
00:28:39Of course.
00:28:42As you were.
00:28:43Oh, no.
00:28:44No!
00:28:55Oh, God.
00:29:03We'll see you later.
00:29:03Oh, oh, no!
00:29:05Oh!
00:29:08Oh, oh, oh, oh...

00:29:10Oh, oh.
00:29:11Oh, oh, oh...
00:29:11Oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:29:20I heard Charles Duncan's coming tonight after that win of course he's the biggest name in
00:29:27sports right now
00:29:46oh my gosh look at them they're perfect together
00:29:53mr. Duncan congratulations on your Super Bowl win and your wife looks absolutely radiant tonight
00:30:00thank you very much I appreciate that this is actually Joyce my good friend uh yeah I'm not
00:30:06his wife I'm actually his assistant
00:30:10wait did he really bring another woman to this dinner
00:30:37Joyce right
00:30:41I didn't realize we had such similar tastes
00:30:45wait that dress is that Valentino couture a one-of-a-kind piece how could there be two
00:30:52police designers fight over dressing Lydia this is obviously the real one
00:31:02you're an assistant you can't afford couture that's a knockoff she's probably trying to
00:31:09latch on to Charles social climber behavior so embarrassing oh come on don't be so hard on her
00:31:18she probably just admires my style imitation is a form of flattery but the fake is still a fake though
00:31:26okay and I wasn't trying to imitate you oh that's odd I reserved this limited piece a year ago so
00:31:34where
00:31:34did yours come I bought it for Lydia would you like me to show the receipt to the whole room
00:31:43here he bought a limited edition couture gown for his assistant and you know now that I'm thinking about it
00:31:52I'm pretty sure that your cash flow is pretty tight right now
00:31:59so how on earth would you expect anyone to believe that you're able to afford a seven-figure gown
00:32:05but Lydia would never wear a fake oh exactly she's totally wearing the real thing I mean we'll just
00:32:11compare the details and we'll know instantly go ahead Lydia why don't you tell everybody which dress
00:32:19is the fake one do you really want us tearing each other apart in public like this I have got
00:32:30nothing to hide
00:32:35no not yet if they find out what a worse thing I lose all my leverage come on Lydia say
00:32:41it expose her to
00:32:42everyone yeah in her face come on Lydia everybody wants to know so tell them why hasn't she said anything
00:32:52what if Lydia is wearing the fake I I I I Cindy get over here now
00:33:12I told you to take care of my gown and you brought me a fake I went to your place
00:33:18and brought exactly what
00:33:19you brought me a fake that's on you I swear I didn't touch it oh and now you are trying
00:33:25to frame me
00:33:28she probably switched it trying to skim money that's disgusting you should be arrested
00:33:37no no no no you know what this is probably just a mix-up from the brand there is no
00:33:42reason to drag
00:33:42your assistant into this Joyce when did I ask you to meddle in my business when you decided to throw
00:33:50someone else under the bus okay show's over if you keep this going Lydia it's your reputation that's
00:34:03going to be taking the hit and I think you know that so stop
00:34:23miss thank you for helping me hey I'm an assistant too I get it and I could not just sit
00:34:30back and let

00:42:47Joyce, you don't owe me that.
00:42:51You know, a long time ago you saved the small, insecure, scrawny little me.
00:42:57That's the only reason I am who I am today.
00:43:04I love you.
00:43:09I have for a very long time.
00:43:17You don't need to say anything.
00:43:20I just wanted to let you know how I feel.
00:43:30Charles.
00:43:33I'm gonna break up with Joe.
00:43:35Gabriel.
00:43:52Oh, I know what I am, I can do it

00:44:19Give it love
00:46:04Good morning.
00:46:07Good morning.
00:46:13I wish everyone could start with this.
00:46:18Do I have to go?
00:46:21Where are you going?
00:46:23Sign the divorce papers.
00:46:26I can't wait for her after to get to show the whole world with a beautiful girl.
00:46:32What?
00:46:35You're pale.
00:46:36You're right?
00:46:37Yeah, it's nothing.
00:46:40I hope it goes well.
00:46:43No, don't worry.
00:46:44It's all arranged.
00:46:46I'll be back by lunch.
00:46:48Okay.
00:47:15Well, if it isn't my dear husband, Charles.
00:47:20You got five minutes.
00:47:22Get dressed.
00:47:23Who the fuck do you...
00:47:28My loving husband catches me cheating, and that's all you have to say?
00:47:33Honestly, Charles, I'm hurt.
00:47:37I do not care for your drama.
00:47:39I don't give a shit who you sleep with.
00:47:42I came here to get these papers signed, so don't waste my fucking time.
00:48:05Looks like you're going to have to draw up a new agreement.
00:48:09And why would you suggest that?
00:48:10Since you've been so kind to me, I'll be kind in return and share some news.
00:48:17That sweet little new assistant of yours, Joyce.
00:48:20I hired her.
00:48:22To seduce her.
00:48:24You've lost your fucking mind, Lydia.
00:48:26Stop talking nonsense.
00:48:28You really don't believe me, do you?
00:48:32Honestly, Charles, do you really think that your sweet angel, Joyce, didn't have time to snap a few photos in
00:48:38this line?
00:48:48You're making things up.
00:48:51I'm not going to believe you.
00:48:53No, that's fine.
00:48:58When you walk away with nothing, I can't wait to see that look on your face.
00:49:22You're right on time.
00:49:32My husband really is America's favorite fantasy.
00:49:36So photogenic.
00:49:38You've done exactly what I've asked.
00:49:40So it's over.
00:49:41No, please.
00:49:43So don't celebrate too soon.
00:49:45This isn't over until I get exactly what I want.
00:49:51That was a brilliant move, Lydia.
00:49:53Using that little nobody to take down a national football icon.
00:50:04Trust me now, hubby.
00:50:11Oh, shit.
00:50:12I'm so sorry.
00:50:13I'm having a really bad day.
00:50:14Hey, hey, hey.
00:50:16Hey, don't worry.
00:50:17I've got you.
00:50:18I've got you.
00:50:36Sign the divorce papers.
00:50:43Poisoning.
00:50:46Don't forget to go home and count your assets.
00:50:51You're not going to get away with this.
00:50:54I'll see you in court.
00:51:12Charles.
00:51:15I'm looking for you everywhere.
00:51:16I have something important I want to talk to you about.
00:51:19What are you doing here?
00:51:21What are you doing here?
00:51:21Well, I just, um...
00:51:24I wanted to come tell you that last night it wasn't just an impulse.
00:51:29Don't.
00:51:32What?
00:51:33What?
00:51:34What, did you think that, like, I had, uh, feelings for you or something?
00:51:40You know, that that was literally just a fling.
00:51:44I mean, I mean, women throw themselves at me every single day of my life.
00:51:53You weren't some sort of exception.
00:51:55And whatever important thing you wanted to talk about, I, uh, I frankly don't give a shit.
00:52:01You know, what we had was fun.
00:52:03It was cool.
00:52:04But now it's done.
00:52:05And you should go.
00:52:08You don't mean that.
00:52:10Why are you acting so surprised?
00:52:11What do you think that, like, I, uh...
00:52:13Did you, like, fall in love with me or something?
00:52:19Mr. Duncan, another old question?
00:52:23Could I say no to you?
00:52:28You know, I've been to this bar a thousand times.
00:52:31And I've never asked your name.
00:52:37Mia?
00:52:39Mia.
00:52:41That's a really beautiful name.
00:52:44Before you go.
00:52:56If I gave you this...
00:53:00Call me sometime.
00:53:03Would you call me?
00:53:11You see, her, you...
00:53:15It's all the same.
00:53:18You found out, didn't you?
00:53:20Found out about what?
00:53:29For everything.
00:53:50Hey, Mia.
00:53:51Do you mind if I got that back?
00:53:57I'm sorry.
00:53:58Here.
00:53:59That was inappropriate of me.
00:54:01Hope you can accept my apology.
00:54:09Well, well.
00:54:10If it isn't our star assistant.
00:54:12Why the long face?
00:54:13Did Charles finally get bored of you?
00:54:17Wow.
00:54:18That must be a yes.
00:54:22Joyce.
00:54:24My office.
00:54:25Now.
00:54:32Maybe Charles already asked to have me taken off the project.
00:54:35Maybe he doesn't even want to see me anymore.
00:54:38Okay.
00:54:40That is the second phase plan for Mr. Duncan's endorsement shoot.
00:54:44I need you to coordinate with him and have everything ready by next week.
00:54:47Uh, wait.
00:54:49I'm still on the project?
00:54:50Mr. Duncan personally requested you, remember?
00:54:53Handle this well.
00:54:54And you'll be considered for a promotion.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:55:05If Charles really hated me, why would he keep me on his project?
00:55:11Was everything he said just an act?
00:55:16Okay.
00:55:17All the papers are ready.
00:55:18But honestly, I'm a little worried about today's hearing.
00:55:21If any of those photos that you mentioned get leaked, your public image could take a serious hit.
00:55:24Elena, I think my little cousin has officially done too much for me now.
00:55:29I don't want to drag this out any further, and thank you.
00:55:33Okay.
00:55:36Okay.
00:55:39Just play along with me.
00:55:41Okay?
00:55:44Okay.
00:55:59I just needed to check your schedule, but once I do that, I can head out.
00:56:05Well, I prefer you don't report to me directly anymore.
00:56:10Your main source of contact can be Elena.
00:56:13Me and her are very close.
00:56:14Anything you need from me, you can get from her.
00:56:18Copy that.
00:56:21Great.
00:56:23Charles, wait.
00:56:26I just want you to be happy.
00:56:31Truly.
00:56:42What the hell was that?
00:56:44Why are you so harsh with that girl?
00:56:47It's none of your business.
00:56:49I've known you my whole life, and I've never seen you act like that.
00:56:54You like her, don't you?
00:56:59Elena, I think we have some more important things to focus on right now, so why don't you just drop
00:57:03it, all right?
00:57:06With the court case soon, I gotta get dressed.
00:57:16Well, look who it is, if it isn't America's favorite football hero, giving up everything that you built for a
00:57:24woman.
00:57:24So romantic.
00:57:26So pathetic.
00:57:27So pathetic.
00:57:27Honestly, Charles, I almost feel bad for you.
00:57:30What do you think, Lydia?
00:57:31You didn't leave a trace when you cheated?
00:57:34So what if I did?
00:57:36You're too arrogant, Charles.
00:57:38You didn't even bother to take one single photo.
00:57:40So if you have nothing but your word, do you honestly think a judge is going to side with you?
00:57:46This court runs on evidence, Lydia.
00:57:48We've submitted records of transactions between you and Alberto for the past six months,
00:57:51along with proof of appropriation of Charles' assets.
00:57:54That's more than enough.
00:57:56Please.
00:57:57Those are just business transactions.
00:57:59Is this all you're pinning your hopes on?
00:58:02Honestly, Charles, you should just sign quietly and walk away now.
00:58:05At least that way you get to keep your shiny public image.
00:58:11All rise.
00:58:13Court is now in session.
00:58:14Parties approach.
00:58:21We're ready.
00:58:24Court is now in session.
00:58:26No interruptions.
00:58:28All statements will be made when recognized by the court.
00:58:31At the plaintiff's request, these proceedings will be live-streamed.
00:58:36Plaintiff, state your claim.
00:58:40Your Honor, I never imagined that our marriage would end like this.
00:58:45I worked so hard for this family, and he's been sleeping with his assistant behind my back.
00:58:52And now he's fighting with me over our assets, and I...
00:58:58It's the best fucking performance she's ever given.
00:59:02Plaintiff, control your emotions.
00:59:05State your claim clearly.
00:59:12Your Honor, Charles and I were married three years ago.
00:59:17We signed a prenup, but I respectfully ask that this court rule that that prenup is invalid.
00:59:27During our marriage, Charles engaged in an extramarital affair with his assistant.
00:59:33The evidence is undeniable.
00:59:35Based on this evidence, I request that he walk away from this marriage with nothing.
00:59:43Present your evidence.
00:59:52Just you wait, Charles.
00:59:53I'll take the money and the headlines and turn this into my nexus spotlight.
01:00:00Mrs. Duncan, you're presenting this as evidence of Mr. Duncan's infidelity.
01:00:05Is that correct?
01:00:05Oh, absolutely.
01:00:08If I hadn't gathered this evidence, who knows how long he would have continued to fool me.
01:00:13Something's off.
01:00:14Why does the judge look like that?
01:00:16Very well.
01:00:18Display the exhibits on the screen for the court and the public.
01:00:24Ready, Charles?
01:00:25The whole world's about to see what a cheater you are.
01:00:35That's impossible.
01:00:37Those are not my exhibits.
01:00:39They've been switched.
01:00:40I've been set up.
01:00:43Those are not my exhibits.
01:00:45They've been switched.
01:00:46I've been set up.
01:00:49Hey, don't worry.
01:00:50I've got you.
01:00:54Joyce?
01:00:55Did Joyce have Cindy switch the evidence?
01:00:57Porter!
01:00:59Plaintiff, control yourself.
01:01:01These photos came from the sealed envelope that you submitted.
01:01:04No, that's impossible.
01:01:09The court finds that the plaintiff engaged in an improper relationship with a third party
01:01:14and conspired to unlawfully transfer marital assets.
01:01:19Joyce never betrayed me.
01:01:21She was protecting me.
01:01:23The whole time.
01:01:25The plaintiff is ordered to pay 50% of her personal assets to the defendant as compensation.
01:01:31All court costs are to be borne by the plaintiff.
01:01:37No!
01:01:38I object!
01:01:39This is ridiculous!
01:01:41I have been set up by him and that slut!
01:01:47Charles?
01:01:48I'm...
01:01:49No!
01:01:50Get your hands off me!
01:01:51You're going to regret this, Charles!
01:01:53I'm going to come for everything that you stand for!
01:01:56Charles, Charles, Charles!
01:01:57Any comment on the verdict?
01:01:58How do you plan to respond to the scandal moving forward?
01:02:01There's only one person I need to see right now.
01:02:23I'm at the airport.
01:02:24I'm leaving for Europe to start over.
01:02:26Thank you for helping me.
01:02:28Thank you for everything.
01:02:30I wish you the best.
01:02:32Joyce, I know I hurt you.
01:02:44I really screwed up.
01:02:45And I think about it every day.
01:02:48How close I came to losing you.
01:02:50I'm not asking you to change.
01:02:52I'm asking you to believe that I can change.
01:03:02Please just give me one more chance.
01:03:04And I promise that I will spend the rest of my life proving to you that I could be a
01:03:09better man.
01:03:13Will you marry me?
01:03:14Come on, say yes!
01:03:16I'll be so sincere, I almost...
01:03:19You know, that was literally just a fling.
01:03:23You're mine, okay?
01:03:24That means you fucking owe me!
01:03:32Is that Charles Duncan?
01:03:34What is he doing here?
01:03:40Say yes!
01:03:41I will.
01:03:59I am sorry, Charles.
01:04:05This is the best ending I could think of for us.
01:04:08You shouldn't have to keep thinking with me.
01:04:11Three days off.
01:04:13Go celebrate.
01:04:14Thanks, Debra.
01:04:16I just have to finish up some work things really quick.
01:04:20Now?
01:04:21Yeah.
01:04:22Yeah, it'll be quick.
01:04:32Joyce.
01:04:34Charles.
01:04:36I'm sorry.
01:04:37Okay, I should have trusted you from the start.
01:04:40I let Lydia poison this entire thing, and I hurt you when I should have been protecting you.
01:04:47You did protect me.
01:04:50Many times.
01:04:52Look, all I need is another chance, and I can fix this.
01:05:01It's over.
01:05:02Joyce, it's not over.
01:05:04Look, it's not over.
01:05:05I...
01:05:07You saw it.
01:05:10Look, you don't love that guy.
01:05:13He hurt you.
01:05:14He manipulated you.
01:05:16He...
01:05:17Look, I just need one more chance.
01:05:20I'll spend the rest of my life fixing this if I need to, and I can make it work.
01:05:24Stop.
01:05:26It's just leaving us here, okay?
01:05:29But...
01:05:32I really do want you to be happy.
01:05:35Really?
01:05:41You know, I'm not going to give up.
01:05:45No matter what it takes.
01:05:50Oh, Miss Bennett.
01:05:51Another delivery for you.
01:05:54Oh, my goodness.
01:05:57Joe is so sweet.
01:05:59Flowers every single day?
01:06:01For a whole month?
01:06:03Girl.
01:06:05Yeah.
01:06:06Uh-huh.
01:06:07He can't keep doing this.
01:06:09I have to cut him off completely.
01:06:31Get asleep.
01:06:36Yeah?
01:06:36Charles, something's wrong.
01:06:38Joyce was grabbed by a black van.
01:06:39The police are en route.
01:06:41Okay, just send me their location.
01:06:42I'm on my way right now.
01:06:48Awake?
01:06:51Good.
01:06:52I wanted you conscious for this.
01:06:56You, you switched the photos, and you took everything I had.
01:07:01And you are committing a crime right now.
01:07:04I have nothing left.
01:07:06What do I have to lose?
01:07:08So, you can pay for what you've done.
01:07:12I'll kill you first, and then Charles.
01:07:15No, we can all rock and hell together.
01:07:18That's enough.
01:07:19We don't have time for this.
01:07:24Stop!
01:07:25Police!
01:07:26Right?
01:07:30Help!
01:07:33Oh, great.
01:07:34Now you get to watch her die.
01:07:47Why didn't you stop them?
01:07:48Don't you know who I am?
01:07:50Don't you know who I am?
01:07:50Don't you know who I am?
01:07:51Ow, ow, ow!
01:07:52I'm afraid of you.
01:07:53I'm okay.
01:07:54It's fine.
01:07:55It's just a cut.
01:07:57I am so sorry.
01:07:59This is all my fault.
01:08:00It's not your fault, Joyce.
01:08:02Joyce, I should have protected you.
01:08:06Miss Bennet, we need you to come with us and give a statement.
01:08:09Go.
01:08:10I'll always be here for you, Joyce.
01:08:12I'll be here for you anytime you need.
01:08:15Okay?
01:08:16What am I supposed to do now?
01:08:27There you are.
01:08:28Our big day is coming up.
01:08:29Let's go over some things in the schedule, okay?
01:08:32Joe?
01:08:33Yeah?
01:08:36About that day that I said yes,
01:08:40I was thinking, I think that it was a bit impulsive.
01:08:45I don't want this.
01:08:46I don't want to marry you.
01:08:50No, no, no.
01:08:51You're just, you're having some pre-wedding jitters.
01:08:53That's all.
01:08:54That's why I told you I'm handling everything, okay?
01:08:57Don't say that again.
01:08:59Ever.
01:09:03Give me that big smile.
01:09:07Big hair?
01:09:08You see, we're fine.
01:09:10And if we're not fine, I'm going to fix it.
01:09:18Okay, so I was thinking,
01:09:24I don't know about this tab.
01:09:29Yo, did you hear?
01:09:31The lead start next week,
01:09:33and the Chiefs start playing?
01:09:34It's not in good shape.
01:09:35I know, he was injured recently.
01:09:36They don't even know if he's going to be able to play.
01:09:38And the tension inside the team,
01:09:41it's not good.
01:09:42They might not renew his contract.
01:09:44Seriously?
01:09:45After all he's done?
01:09:46Yeah, girl.
01:09:47That's crazy.
01:09:48His injury wasn't just a cut.
01:09:55It's affecting his game and his career.
01:09:59He's going to be here.
01:10:08Duncan.
01:10:14Hi!
01:10:14Hi, excuse me.
01:10:15I'm looking for Charles Duncan.
01:10:17Sorry, ma'am.
01:10:17Closed training today.
01:10:18No visitors.
01:10:19Okay, I'm not visiting, though.
01:10:21I just want to know if he's okay.
01:10:22He got injured, his hand.
01:10:24Ma'am, I said no.
01:10:26I can't let you in.
01:10:30Excuse me!
01:10:34You work with Charles, right?
01:10:37Okay, I just need to know how he is.
01:10:39How's his hand?
01:10:39Is it really bad?
01:10:40Because I...
01:10:41I'm sorry.
01:10:42The team is handling his condition.
01:10:44You should go home.
01:10:47But...
01:11:03I'm okay.
01:11:04It's fine.
01:11:05It's just a cut.
01:11:07Like, all I need is another chance and I can fix this.
01:11:14How could I be so stupid?
01:11:32What are you crying for?
