00:00:19Please, God, let me catch something to feed the family tonight.
00:00:30Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
00:00:34come on.
00:00:38What the heck?
00:00:40Is that gold?
00:00:47What does it say?
00:01:14Oh, no. What are you?
00:01:18I am known by many names across cities, times, and culture. But you probably know me as a genie.
00:01:25I shall grant you three wishes. No, you cannot wish for eternity, and no, you cannot wish for more wishes.
00:01:33Now tell me, mere mortal, what do you wish for?
00:01:39I wish... I wish...
00:01:43I wish... I wish we had more time.
00:01:46Don't worry, Grandpa. The best doctors in the world are on their way.
00:01:50Put your back on your feet and go to bed.
00:01:52Oh, silly girl. Death is not what scares me.
00:01:57What I'm worried about is who will take care of you after I'm gone.
00:02:03You're not going anywhere. And we don't have to worry about that yet.
00:02:07No, but it's all right. I finally found a good husband for...
00:02:11Someone I trust. Yes.
00:02:14Grandpa, I don't need a husband. What I need is for you to live.
00:02:21Oh, darling.
00:02:25You go rest, okay? Grandpa still has some work to do, okay?
00:02:37Put it down right here.
00:02:40And leave. And don't come back until I call you.
00:02:44Yes, Mr. Perry.
00:02:45Yes, Mr. Perry.
00:03:04Everything I've built...
00:03:07Is thanks to you.
00:03:09I wish...
00:03:12I wish to become rich.
00:03:15Rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:03:19Your wish is my command.
00:03:31What?
00:03:36Whichvers, is that Prince William?
00:03:51Steven, you were still young and spry last we spoke.
00:03:55Now you have succumbed to time.
00:03:58Have you summoned me to make your last wish?
00:04:03Speak, and our contract will be over.
00:04:07It's been nice knowing you, Steven Parrish.
00:04:10My third wish is your freedom.
00:04:13No lamp, no chain, no master.
00:04:18You're using your final wish on me?
00:04:21A final request.
00:04:23Speak.
00:04:25I want you to marry my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:04:34Take care of her once I have died for five years.
00:04:40Then you will be free.
00:04:49Your wish is my command.
00:04:52I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
00:04:58And in five years I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:05:09According to Mr. Parrish's will, his entire estate and full control of Parrish Enterprises
00:05:16shall be inherited by his granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:05:20Under one condition, Christine must marry Elijah Barron.
00:05:25We then, will she be granted these rights?
00:05:29Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:46Miss Parrish, I'm Elijah Barron.
00:05:50Your future husband.
00:05:53This is ridiculous.
00:05:55Why would Grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
00:06:00I refuse.
00:06:02I'm sorry, Mr. Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron,
00:06:06your grandfather's inheritance will go to the shareholders.
00:06:12Christine, you can't let your grandfather's estate go to those greedy shareholders.
00:06:18I am sure your grandfather vetted him.
00:06:24Besides, he's easy on the ice.
00:06:37Fine.
00:06:39I'll marry him.
00:06:43I promise from now on, I'll take care of you.
00:06:51Let's get one thing straight.
00:06:52I don't need you to take care of me.
00:06:55I can do that on my own.
00:06:57And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:07:01You're not touching me.
00:07:02And you're definitely not sleeping in my bed.
00:07:08Sounds fun.
00:07:17For five years, I've kept my identity hidden.
00:07:21Looking after her, building her career from the shadows.
00:07:24All so Christine could one day stand on her own.
00:07:45How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
00:07:48I'm just doing my job.
00:07:50You hired me as your assistant.
00:07:52And as your husband.
00:07:53Shh.
00:07:54I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
00:07:57Look, I'm already stressed out enough.
00:07:59I have to land this Hiller deal.
00:08:01If you want to help, you can start by getting out.
00:08:05Now!
00:08:09Five years with this woman.
00:08:11It's like her heart is made of ice.
00:08:15Good thing my contract is ending soon.
00:08:19Yes, Senator Johnson.
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:22I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
00:08:24The Hiller deal?
00:08:28As an Adrian Miller?
00:08:32Still has late-stage lung cancer.
00:08:35We're doing everything we can, but prepare for the worst.
00:08:38Then what the hell are you even good for?
00:08:40Get the hell out!
00:08:41All of you!
00:08:49Who the fuck are you?
00:08:50You're not supposed to be in here.
00:08:52Who I am is not what's important.
00:08:54What's important is I can save your father.
00:08:56You?
00:08:57Save my father?
00:08:58You're not even a doctor, you lunatic.
00:09:00Peter.
00:09:02Since the doctor's already said there's nothing more they can do, maybe we should let him try.
00:09:06Absolutely not, Ruby.
00:09:07Yes.
00:09:08Peter, we're running out of options.
00:09:10We have to at least try something.
00:09:11Wayne, please.
00:09:14Save our father.
00:09:15I have to do this by myself.
00:09:17No!
00:09:19Fine.
00:09:21But if you do anything funny, I'll kill you.
00:09:38Wake up, old friend.
00:09:43It's you, the great Jind.
00:09:46I haven't seen you since your marriage, five years now.
00:09:51I want to thank you for looking after the organization while I was away.
00:09:55The Illuminaries only exists because of you.
00:10:02You saved and changed countless lives.
00:10:05But my views have all three of my wishes.
00:10:09I am afraid to see into the lines for me.
00:10:15I can break my rules once.
00:10:17Consider it a temporary extension.
00:10:20A few more years.
00:10:21You would do that for me?
00:10:23Under one condition.
00:10:25The Hiller Group is to give Christine Parrish, my wife, the contract.
00:10:28That's no problem at all.
00:10:32Good.
00:10:34Good.
00:10:34Good.
00:10:50Good.
00:11:05Remember your promise.
00:11:10He's healed.
00:11:13Ruby!
00:11:14Ruby!
00:11:17He did it.
00:11:19He did it.
00:11:21He did it, guys.
00:11:26There you go.
00:11:39What the hell?
00:11:41Mr. Baron, here is your custom ordered necklace.
00:11:46Your wife is a very lucky woman.
00:11:50I hope she likes it.
00:11:51Look after her for five years.
00:11:55After five years, you will be free.
00:11:59In four days, it'll be Christine's birthday and the day my mission ends.
00:12:03Christine, when you realize I'm no longer beside you, will you even miss me?
00:12:07Even a little?
00:12:09Happy early birthday, bestie!
00:12:11Can't believe you're turning 30 soon.
00:12:14Why are we celebrating early again?
00:12:15Because Christine's mom has the same birthday as her, and she's going to throw her mom a huge birthday party.
00:12:21I just don't want to steal her thunder.
00:12:23She's turning 50 this year.
00:12:25It's a big year for her.
00:12:38It's a big year for her.
00:12:38Christine?
00:12:40I remember college like it was yesterday.
00:12:43You were cheer captain and dating Tony, the star quarterback.
00:12:47Now look at us.
00:12:49Married, with jobs.
00:12:51Boring.
00:12:52Ugh, yeah.
00:12:54Honestly, if Tony hadn't dumped you for the NFL, you wouldn't have settled for that loser, Elijah.
00:12:59Oh, come on.
00:13:00That was ages ago.
00:13:01Please.
00:13:02We all know you're still not over him.
00:13:05Hey.
00:13:06If he asked to take you back, what would you say?
00:13:10Well, I'm married now.
00:13:12Besides, that was like a decade ago.
00:13:18Hey, I didn't know you were having a party.
00:13:23I got you a gift.
00:13:25Happy birthday.
00:13:29Seriously?
00:13:30This little thing is all you got her for her 30th birthday?
00:13:33Ugh, looks like he grabbed it out of a Target.
00:13:36Ah!
00:13:36What's that?
00:13:39Thanks.
00:13:40What is it?
00:13:42Open it.
00:13:42You'll find out.
00:13:46Hey!
00:13:48Oh, buddy!
00:13:51Woo!
00:13:57Huh?
00:14:00Tony?
00:14:02Surprise!
00:14:04We invited him just for you, honeymoon, boo!
00:14:09Hey, sexy.
00:14:10Happy birthday.
00:14:12Come here.
00:14:20Is that Tony Roth?
00:14:21Didn't he just win the Super Bowl like two years ago?
00:14:23He did.
00:14:24Oh my, he's hotter in person.
00:14:27I didn't know Christina's friends with him.
00:14:30Oh, not just friends.
00:14:31They used to date.
00:14:35I got you a gift.
00:14:36I got you a gift.
00:14:39Oh my God, that's so gorgeous.
00:14:42Put it on her.
00:14:46Come on, let me put it on for you.
00:14:51All right.
00:15:02Stacy also told me that you were having issues with the Heller Group contract.
00:15:07I can help you with that.
00:15:10Thank you, Tony, but I think I can handle it.
00:15:13Of course, babe.
00:15:15You know, I just want to help, since your husband's obviously pretty useless.
00:15:18Aw, look, they're kind of cute together.
00:15:21Even though Christina's married to that Randall.
00:15:24See?
00:15:25That's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife.
00:15:40I took care of you and loved you for five years, Christine.
00:15:46But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:15:52You must be the assistant slash husband.
00:15:56I'm Tony Roth.
00:16:00Left hand.
00:16:04Elijah.
00:16:06That was rude.
00:16:11Four more days until the contract ends.
00:16:14I'll be out of her life for good.
00:16:16Just like she's always wanted.
00:16:23Christine, our company stock is tanking.
00:16:27We need the Heller contract.
00:16:29I know, Mom.
00:16:31God.
00:16:31Figure something out.
00:16:34Your ex, Tony, is golfing buddies with Peter Hiller.
00:16:38Maybe you can get a meeting with him.
00:16:39He could help us land the contract.
00:16:41Mom, the Hiller Corp is the biggest company in the nation.
00:16:45Just because I get an introduction doesn't mean we're going to land it.
00:16:50Fine.
00:16:51I'll ask him.
00:16:55You don't need to ask, Tony.
00:16:59I took care of it.
00:17:00The Heller's are going to give you the contract and they're going to invest in your company, too.
00:17:04You already took care of it.
00:17:05Elijah, how did you possibly already take care of it?
00:17:08Please don't be ridiculous.
00:17:09Exactly.
00:17:10What do you know about business?
00:17:12Your glorified help.
00:17:13I was just stating the facts.
00:17:15No, Elijah.
00:17:16You just don't get it.
00:17:19Just...
00:17:19Besides, Tony's going to be here in a little bit.
00:17:22Please don't make a fool out of yourself.
00:17:24You were incredibly rude last time.
00:17:26Because he put his hands all over my wife.
00:17:28So you're jealous and now you're lying.
00:17:32I just cannot deal with this right now.
00:17:36Come on, drive me to the salon.
00:17:38I have to get a perm for my big day.
00:17:40Don't you dare make me late.
00:17:59What are you standing there for?
00:18:02Hurry up and drive me to the salon.
00:18:04Come on.
00:18:22I've spent half a decade taking care of those blue roses.
00:18:26It's finally bloomed.
00:18:28I'm about to leave, but...
00:18:30I wish you'll always have fresh flowers.
00:18:40Your favorite dish.
00:18:41This might be the last time I ever make it for you.
00:18:47Only three days left to the five-year mark.
00:18:50I hope she'll adjust to life without me, all right?
00:19:12Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:19:15Thank you, Tony.
00:19:17I really appreciate it.
00:19:19No need to think.
00:19:24Hey, listen.
00:19:25I'll have to chase my football dreams, but I never forgot about you.
00:19:28Not for a second.
00:19:30Listen, now that I'm finally retiring, I can stay by your side.
00:19:37I, um, thank you for saying that.
00:19:42But I'm already married.
00:19:48Okay, so...
00:19:50What, you're gonna waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward again?
00:19:59He's actually really good to me.
00:20:02Come on, Christine.
00:20:03You're way too nice.
00:20:04Even if he treats you well, you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness for him.
00:20:13Divorce him.
00:20:14Be free.
00:20:24This is me.
00:20:27As for the Hiller thing, thanks again.
00:20:31You're welcome.
00:20:50One day.
00:20:53Dinner's gone cold.
00:20:54But go take a bath, and I'll reheat it for you.
00:20:57That's okay.
00:20:59I already...
00:21:10Elijah, please stop getting these hideous artificial flowers.
00:21:15Hideous and artificial?
00:21:18I planted these for her by hand.
00:21:20Got it.
00:21:21You should go wash up.
00:21:35Die.
00:21:41Die.
00:21:44Die.
00:22:04My wife of five years just called out another man's name while she came.
00:22:19Elisha, what are you doing?
00:22:24I brought you a towel.
00:22:35She still hasn't acknowledged the gift I got her.
00:22:38She probably never will.
00:23:03What are you doing?
00:23:15Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:23:18You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:23:21Aren't you going to say anything?
00:23:25No matter how much I ignore you or reject you, you just won't leave.
00:23:30Why?
00:23:32It's been five years. Don't you get it by now?
00:23:35I should be able to choose who I love, so no matter what you do, I'm never ever going to
00:23:39love you.
00:23:42I don't need your love, Christine. I made a promise to your grandfather, and I intend to keep it.
00:23:48Yeah, you keep saying that, but you want to know what I think? I think you're just trying to leech
00:23:53off my family, so you don't have to work. You pretend to love me, but in reality, you're just in
00:24:01it for the money. That's why when I call out another guy's name, you don't even react.
00:24:08Christine, if you have taken even a second to look at everything I've done for you the past five years,
00:24:13you'd know that's not true.
00:24:14I know you want me gone. Give it a few days, maybe your wish will come true.
00:24:23Hey Peter, it's me, Tony. I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:24:27We already decided on a partner, so don't call me about this again.
00:24:31You've found someone already?
00:24:33Yeah.
00:24:34Someone who has done the family an enormous favor, so drop it.
00:24:37Wait, wait.
00:24:40As he is ordered, his contract must go directly to Christine. Failure is not an option.
00:24:48I'll get it done.
00:24:57Mr. Hiller, this is so unexpected. What can I do for you?
00:25:01I know your company has been bidding for our project. I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:25:05Yes, um, it's not finished yet, but, um, I have a proposal.
00:25:10No need. I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:25:14Really? You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:25:17Nope. We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:25:20I'm excited to see Paris sort at the next level.
00:25:22Really?
00:25:25Thank you so much, Mr. Hiller. I don't know what to say.
00:25:29Don't thank me. I thank the great man who's been backing you.
00:25:33The great man backing me?
00:25:35Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:25:38It must be Tony. How he really came through for me.
00:25:46Tony.
00:25:47Hey, babe.
00:25:48Thank you so much for your help. We got the Hiller contract.
00:25:51What? I couldn't even bring it up with Peter, but Christine still managed to get the contract?
00:25:57Oh, whatever. I guess it worked out.
00:25:59Uh, yeah, of course, babe. Uh, I mean, you mean so much to me.
00:26:04And Peter's my butt. How can I not help?
00:26:06Where are you right now? I'd like to thank you in person.
00:26:09Alright, I'll be right over.
00:26:21Elijah? Can you take me to Maple Hotel? I have a work thing.
00:26:25Okay.
00:26:37No need to wait for me. I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
00:27:01Christine.
00:27:03Come in.
00:27:12Uh, Peter personally came by the office and handed me the contract.
00:27:17Just want to say thank you.
00:27:19I don't think it would have been so smooth if it wasn't for you, Tony.
00:27:22I told you I'd do anything for you. It's not bad.
00:27:36Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
00:27:38Oh, my gosh.
00:27:39I'm so sorry.
00:27:40I told you.
00:27:41Oh, my God. Let me get the finger.
00:27:43It's okay. It's okay.
00:28:11Your wife's got a killer bot. I'm going to save her every inch of it.
00:28:33I still like seeing you only in a robe. You still remember our island vacation? Just the two of us
00:28:38on the beach?
00:28:39That was, um, a beautiful memory. But for that...
00:28:46Christine, you must be exhausted. Running Parish Enterprise is all on your own.
00:28:51Do you still need to suffer like this?
00:28:54My grandpa left me this company. So no matter how hard it gets, I'm not going to give up.
00:28:59My help isn't limited to the other contract.
00:29:02If you want to start over with me, I can help you shoulder so much more.
00:29:07Tony, now's not the time for that.
00:29:09Didn't you say you were grateful to me?
00:29:13Why can't we just start over?
00:29:16Because I'm already married.
00:29:17To Elijah, that spineless goof who's only good for cooking your meals and obeying your every hole.
00:29:27Christine, you're not fooling anyone.
00:29:30I'm not used to.
00:29:34I'm going to show you what a real man's like.
00:29:36Tony, no. Don't.
00:29:38Wait! Get this off of me!
00:29:40Tony! Don't!
00:29:42Wait, Tony!
00:29:49Get your hands off my wife!
00:29:54Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:29:55Just a man protecting his wife.
00:30:04Elijah!
00:30:05Elijah!
00:30:06You're killing him!
00:30:07Elijah, let go!
00:30:08I said to him!
00:30:10Let him go!
00:30:11Elijah!
00:30:14Apologize to Tony!
00:30:15He was just assaulting you.
00:30:17You want me to apologize?
00:30:18Nothing happened!
00:30:19You almost killed him!
00:30:20You overreacted!
00:30:22Nothing happened?
00:30:24Clearly he was going to do something to you.
00:30:26Oh my god, you're paranoid!
00:30:27I don't need your reckless protection!
00:30:30I am your husband.
00:30:32It is my job to protect you.
00:30:35As my wife, you shouldn't put yourself in situations like this.
00:30:39I was forced to marry you.
00:30:41Remember?
00:30:43I never wanted you as my husband.
00:30:48Five years and she still doesn't want you.
00:30:51She never will.
00:30:56So do you love him?
00:31:13Christine, I'm sorry if I rushed you but not-
00:31:15I think we need to cool off for the bed.
00:31:28Look.
00:31:29I'm sorry I hate you, okay?
00:31:32I lost my cool.
00:31:33But you shouldn't have barged in and attacked Tony either.
00:31:39Okay, the silent treatment.
00:31:42Everything I'm doing is for the company.
00:31:45And for this family.
00:31:47If I lose that Hiller contract because of you,
00:31:49I'll never be able to forgive you.
00:31:52Do you really believe in your heart of hearts?
00:31:55That Tony was the one who got you the Hiller contract?
00:32:00Yes!
00:32:01Who else?
00:32:05You?
00:32:06Yes.
00:32:07Yes, Christine, you got the Hiller contract because of me.
00:32:11Elijah, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:14You're basically a house husband.
00:32:16How on earth would you know the Hillers?
00:32:18It's bad enough that I shoulder everything at work.
00:32:22Please, don't go spreading lies too.
00:32:24Lies?
00:32:26Christine, I haven't told you one lie in the five years that we've been together.
00:32:29Not one.
00:32:30Okay, look, I know that you're jealous of Tony.
00:32:34But the fact is, he landed me that contract.
00:32:37He granted my wish.
00:32:39I would never have asked him to help me out if I really thought you could do it.
00:32:44I have been carrying Parish Enterprises since Grandpa died, all on my own.
00:32:49Please, tell me what you've done.
00:32:52In these five years, do you really believe that you would have gotten to where you are without me?
00:32:59I mean, besides scheduling my life and picking up after me,
00:33:08I could hire a maid to do your job.
00:33:15You think a maid could do my job?
00:33:19Yes.
00:33:20Elijah, I need a real man.
00:33:23One that I can rely on, not someone who just cooks and cleans and picks up after me.
00:33:28Everything that you do for me just makes me hate you more.
00:33:44See?
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:49Then let's get a divorce.
00:33:57Please, God.
00:33:59Let me catch something to feed the family tonight.
00:34:06Come on.
00:34:07Come on.
00:34:09Come on.
00:34:09Come on.
00:34:10Come on.
00:34:11Come on.
00:34:11Please.
00:34:15What the heck?
00:34:18Is that gold?
00:34:24What does it say?
00:34:54What are you?
00:34:55I am known by many names across cities, times, and culture, but you probably know me as a genie.
00:35:02I shall grant you three wishes.
00:35:06No, you cannot wish for eternity, and no, you cannot wish for more wishes.
00:35:11Now tell me, mere mortal, what do you wish for?
00:35:16I wish...
00:35:18I wish...
00:35:20I wish...
00:35:21I wish we had more time.
00:35:24Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:35:26The best doctors in the world are on their way.
00:35:28Get back on your feet and go to bed.
00:35:30Oh, silly girl.
00:35:32Death is not what scares me.
00:35:35What I'm worried about is who will take care of you after I'm gone.
00:35:40You're not going anywhere.
00:35:42We don't have to worry about that yet.
00:35:44I'm hoping it's alright.
00:35:45I finally found a good husband for someone I trust.
00:35:51Yes.
00:35:52Grandpa, I don't need a husband.
00:35:54What I need is for you to live.
00:35:58Oh, darling.
00:36:02You go rest, okay?
00:36:04Grandpa still has some work to do.
00:36:07Okay?
00:36:15Put it down right here.
00:36:18And leave.
00:36:19And don't come back until I call you.
00:36:21Yes, Mr. Perry.
00:36:41Everything I've built is thanks to you.
00:36:47I wish...
00:36:50I wish to become rich.
00:36:53Rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:36:56Your wish is my command.
00:36:58I'm afraid.
00:37:05How about you, John ัƒะฟind the playoffs again?
00:37:09Oh, sorry!
00:37:28It was ourๅ wouldn't look the only way.
00:37:28Steven, you were still young and spry last we spoke.
00:37:33Now you have succumbed to time.
00:37:35Have you summoned me to make your last wish?
00:37:40Speak, and our contract will be over.
00:37:44It's been nice knowing you, Steven Parrish.
00:37:48My third wish is your freedom.
00:37:51No lamp, no chain, no master.
00:37:55You're using your final wish on me.
00:37:58A final request.
00:38:00Speak.
00:38:03I want you to bury my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:38:12Take care of her once I have died for five years.
00:38:18Then you will be free.
00:38:27Your wish is my command.
00:38:29I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
00:38:36And in five years, I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:38:46According to Mr. Parrish's will, his entire estate and full control of Parrish Enterprises
00:38:53shall be inherited by his granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:38:57Under one condition, Christine must marry Elijah Barron.
00:39:03We then will she be granted these rights.
00:39:06Who's Elijah Barron?
00:39:23Miss Parrish, I'm Elijah Barron.
00:39:27Your future husband.
00:39:30This is ridiculous.
00:39:32Nicholas, why would grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
00:39:38I refuse.
00:39:39I'm sorry, Mr. Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron, your grandfather's inheritance
00:39:44will go to the shareholders.
00:39:50Christine, you can't let your grandfather's estate go to those greedy shareholders.
00:39:54I am sure your grandfather vetted him.
00:40:02Besides, he's easy on the ice.
00:40:14Fine.
00:40:16I'll marry him.
00:40:21I promise, from now on, I'll take care of you.
00:40:28Let's get one thing straight.
00:40:30I don't need you to take care of me.
00:40:32I can do that on my own.
00:40:35And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:40:38You're not touching me, and you're definitely not sleeping in my bed.
00:40:45Sounds fun.
00:40:55For five years, I've kept my identity hidden.
00:40:58Looking after her, building her career from the shadows.
00:41:01All so Christine could one day stand on her own.
00:41:22How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
00:41:26I'm just doing my job.
00:41:27You hired me as your assistant, and as your husband.
00:41:30Shh!
00:41:31I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
00:41:34Look, I'm already stressed out enough.
00:41:36I have to land this Hiller deal.
00:41:38If you want to help, you can start by getting out.
00:41:42Now!
00:41:46Five years with this woman.
00:41:48It's like her heart is made of ice.
00:41:52Good thing my contract is ending soon.
00:41:57Yes, Senator Johnson.
00:41:58Yes, I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
00:42:02The Hiller deal?
00:42:05As in Adrian Hiller?
00:42:10Still has late-stage lung cancer.
00:42:12We're doing everything we can, but prepared for the worst.
00:42:16Then what the hell are you even good for?
00:42:18Get the hell out!
00:42:19All of you!
00:42:26Who the fuck are you?
00:42:28You're not supposed to be in here.
00:42:29Who I am is not what's important.
00:42:31What's important is I can save your father.
00:42:34You?
00:42:34Save my father?
00:42:35You're not even a doctor, you lunatic.
00:42:38Peter, since the doctor's already said there's nothing more they can do, maybe we should let him try.
00:42:43Absolutely not, Ruby.
00:42:45Yes.
00:42:45Peter, we're running out of options.
00:42:47We have to at least try something.
00:42:49Please.
00:42:51Save our father.
00:42:52I have to do this by myself.
00:42:54No!
00:42:57Fine.
00:42:59But if you do anything funny, I'll kill you.
00:43:16Wake up, old friend.
00:43:21It's you, the great Jind.
00:43:24I haven't seen you since your marriage, five years ago.
00:43:29I want to thank you for looking after the organization while I was away.
00:43:32The Illuminaries only exists because we all saved and changed countless lives.
00:43:42But my duties of all three of my wishes, I am afraid it's the end of the line for me.
00:43:52I can break my rules once.
00:43:55Consider it a temporary extension.
00:43:57A few more years.
00:43:59You would do that for me?
00:44:00Under one condition.
00:44:02The Hiller Group is to give Christine Parrish, my wife, the contract.
00:44:07That's no problem at all.
00:44:10Good.
00:44:42Remember your promise.
00:44:48He's healed.
00:44:50Ruby!
00:44:51Ruby!
00:44:55He did it.
00:44:56He did it.
00:44:58He did it.
00:44:59He did it.
00:45:10There you go.

00:48:47Thank you, Tony, but I think I can handle it of course, babe, you know, I just want to help
00:48:53since your husband's obviously pretty useless
00:48:57They're kind of cute together
00:48:59Even though Christina's married to that Randall see that's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife
00:49:07Oh
00:49:15I
00:49:16I took care of you and loved you for five years Christine
00:49:23But you won't even give me the most basic respect
00:49:29You must be the assistant slash husband
00:49:33You Tony Roth
00:49:37Left
00:49:38Left
00:49:38Left
00:49:41Elijah
00:49:44That was rude
00:49:49For more days until the contract ends
00:49:52I'll be out of her life for good
00:49:54Just like she's always wanted
00:50:00You
00:50:01Christine our company stock is tanking
00:50:04We need the Heller contract
00:50:06I know mom
00:50:07God
00:50:08Figure something out
00:50:12Your ex Tony is golfing buddies of Peter Hiller
00:50:15Maybe you can get a meeting with him
00:50:17He could help us land the contract
00:50:19Mom, the Hiller Corp is the biggest company in the nation
00:50:22Just because I get an introduction doesn't mean we're gonna land it
00:50:28Fine
00:50:28I'll ask him
00:50:33You don't need to ask Tony
00:50:36I took care of it
00:50:37The Hillers are gonna give you the contract
00:50:39And they're gonna invest in your company too
00:50:41You already took care of it, Elijah
00:50:43How did you possibly already take care of it?
00:50:46Please don't be ridiculous
00:50:47Exactly
00:50:47What do you know about business?
00:50:49Your glorified help
00:50:50I was just stating the facts
00:50:52No, Elijah
00:50:54You just don't get it
00:50:55Just
00:50:57Besides
00:50:58Tony's gonna be here in a little bit
00:50:59Please don't make a fool out of yourself
00:51:01You were incredibly rude last time
00:51:03Because he put his hands all over my wife
00:51:05So you're jealous
00:51:06And now you're lying
00:51:09I just cannot deal with this right now
00:51:13Come on, drive me to the salon
00:51:15I have to get a perm for my big day
00:51:17Don't you dare make me late
00:51:37Let's see
00:51:38What are you standing there for?
00:51:40Hurry up and drive me to the salon
00:51:59I've spent half a decade taking care of those blue roses
00:52:03It's finally bloomed
00:52:06I'm about to leave, but
00:52:08I wish you'll always have fresh flowers
00:52:17Your favorite dish
00:52:19This might be the last time I ever make it for you
00:52:25Only three days left till the five year mark
00:52:28I hope she'll adjust to life without me alright
00:52:50Alright
00:52:50Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract
00:52:52Thank you Tony
00:52:54I really appreciate it
00:52:56Don't need to thank
00:53:01Hey listen
00:53:02I'll have to chase my football dreams but I never forgot about you
00:53:06Not for a second
00:53:07Listen, now that I'm finally retiring I can stay by your side
00:53:14I am
00:53:15I am
00:53:16Thank you for saying that
00:53:19But
00:53:20I'm already married
00:53:23Okay
00:53:25So
00:53:27What?
00:53:28You're gonna waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward again?
00:53:31I am
00:53:36He's
00:53:37Actually really good to me
00:53:40Come on Christine, you're way too nice
00:53:42Even if he treats you well you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness for him
00:53:51Divorce him
00:53:52Be free
00:54:01This is me
00:54:05As for the Hiller thing
00:54:07Thanks again
00:54:08You're welcome
00:54:08You're welcome
00:54:27One day
00:54:30Dinner's gone cold but go take a bath and I'll reheat it for you
00:54:35That's okay
00:54:36I already
00:54:48Elijah
00:54:48Please stop getting these hideous artificial flowers
00:54:52Hideous and artificial?
00:54:55I planted these for her by hand
00:54:57Got it
00:54:58You should go wash up
00:55:15Don't
00:55:34That's not me
00:55:37Why?
00:55:38It's not
00:55:38It's not
00:55:38It's not
00:55:38You should say
00:55:38It's not
00:55:41My wife of five years
00:55:44just called out another man's name
00:55:46while she came.
00:55:56Elijah, what are you doing?
00:56:02Bro, you're a towel.
00:56:12She still hasn't acknowledged
00:56:14the gift I got her.
00:56:15She probably never will.
00:56:29Huh?
00:56:49Careful.
00:56:52Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:56:55You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:56:58Aren't you going to say anything?
00:57:03No matter how much I ignore you or reject you,
00:57:05you just won't leave.
00:57:07Why?
00:57:09It's been five years.
00:57:11Don't you get it by now?
00:57:12I should be able to choose who I love.
00:57:14So no matter what you do,
00:57:15I'm never ever going to love you.
00:57:19I don't need your love, Christine.
00:57:22I made a promise to your grandfather
00:57:23and I intend to keep it.
00:57:25Yeah, you keep saying that.
00:57:27But you want to know what I think?
00:57:29I think you're just trying to leech off my family
00:57:32so you don't have to work.
00:57:34You pretend to love me,
00:57:36but in reality,
00:57:38you're just in it for the money.
00:57:41That's why when I call out another guy's name,
00:57:43you don't even react.
00:57:45Christine, if you have taken even a second
00:57:47to look at everything I've done for you
00:57:49the past five years,
00:57:50you'd know that's not true.
00:57:51I know you want me gone.
00:57:54Give it a few days,
00:57:54maybe your wish will come true.
00:58:00Hey, Peter, it's me, Tony.
00:58:02I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:58:04We already decided on a partner,
00:58:06so don't call me about this again.
00:58:08You've found someone already?
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:11Someone who has done the family an enormous favor.
00:58:14So drop it.
00:58:15Wait, wait.
00:58:17As he is ordered,
00:58:19this contract must go directly to Christine.
00:58:22Failure is not an option.
00:58:25I'll get it done.
00:58:34Mr. Heller,
00:58:36this is so unexpected.
00:58:38What can I do for you?
00:58:39I know your company has been bidding for our project.
00:58:41I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:58:43Yes, it's not finished yet,
00:58:45but I have a proposal.
00:58:47No need.
00:58:48I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:58:51Really?
00:58:52You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:58:55Nope.
00:58:55We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:58:57I'm excited to see Paris sort of next level.
00:59:00Really?
00:59:03Thank you so much, Mr. Heller.
00:59:05I don't know what to say.
00:59:06Don't thank me.
00:59:07I think the great man who's been backing you.
00:59:10The great man backing me?
00:59:12Don't worry, I'll contact the others later
00:59:14about giving you the contract.
00:59:15It must be Tony.
00:59:17How he really came through for me.
00:59:24Tony!
00:59:24Hey, babe.
00:59:25Thank you so much for your help.
00:59:27We got the Hiller contract.
00:59:29What?
00:59:30I couldn't even bring it up with Peter,
00:59:31but Christine still managed to get the contract?
00:59:34Oh, whatever.
00:59:35I guess it worked out.
00:59:37Uh, yeah, of course, babe.
00:59:38Uh, you mean so much to me.
00:59:41And Peter's my butt.
00:59:42How can I not help?
00:59:43Where are you right now?
00:59:44I'd like to thank you in person.
00:59:47All right, I'll be right over.
00:59:58Elijah, can you take me to Maple Hotel?
01:00:01I have a work thing.
01:00:03Okay.
01:00:15No need to wait for me.
01:00:16I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
01:00:38Christine.
01:00:40Come in.
01:00:51Peter personally came by the office
01:00:53and handed me the contract.
01:00:55Just want to say thank you.
01:00:56I don't think it would have been so smooth
01:00:58if it wasn't for you, Tony.
01:00:59I told you I'd do anything for you.
01:01:00It's not that.
01:01:13Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
01:01:15Oh, my gosh.
01:01:17I'm so sorry.
01:01:18I told you.
01:01:19Oh, my God.
01:01:19Let me get this.
01:01:20It's okay.
01:01:21It's okay.
01:01:49Your wife's got a killer bot.
01:01:51I'm going to save her every inch of it.
01:02:10I still like seeing you only in a robe.
01:02:13You still remember our island vacation?
01:02:15Just the two of us on the beach?
01:02:16That was, um, a beautiful memory.
01:02:23But for that...
01:02:24Christine, you must be exhausted.
01:02:26Running Parish Enterprise is all on your own.
01:02:29Do you still need to suffer like this?
01:02:31My grandpa left me this company.
01:02:34So no matter how hard it gets,
01:02:35I'm not going to give up.
01:02:36My help isn't limited to the hair contract.
01:02:39If you want to start over with me,
01:02:41I can help you show there's so much more.
01:02:44Tony, now is not the time for that.
01:02:46Mom, didn't you say you were grateful to me?
01:02:50Why can't we just start over?
01:02:53Because I'm already married.
01:02:55To Elijah, that spineless goof
01:02:58who's only good for cooking your meals
01:03:01and obeying your every role.
01:03:04Christine, you're not fooling anyone.
01:03:07I know you still.
01:03:11I'm going to show you what a real man's like.
01:03:14Tony, no.
01:03:15Don't.
01:03:16Wait!
01:03:16Get this off of me!
01:03:18Tony!
01:03:18Don't!
01:03:19Wait!
01:03:20Tony!
01:03:23Tony!
01:03:24Tony!
01:03:26Get your hands off my wife!
01:03:31Who the fuck do you think you are?
01:03:33Just a man protecting his wife.
01:03:41Elijah!
01:03:43Elijah!
01:03:43You're killing him!
01:03:45Elijah, let go!
01:03:46I said, let him go!
01:03:51Apologize to Tony!
01:03:53He was just assaulting you.
01:03:54You want me to apologize?
01:03:55Nothing happened.
01:03:56You almost killed him.
01:03:57You overreacted.
01:03:59Nothing happened?
01:04:01Clearly, he was going to do something to you.
01:04:03Oh my God, you're paranoid.
01:04:04I don't need your reckless protection.
01:04:08I am your husband.
01:04:09It is my job to protect you.
01:04:12As my wife, you shouldn't put yourself in situations like this.
01:04:17I was forced to marry you.
01:04:19Remember?
01:04:21I never wanted you as my husband.
01:04:26Five years and she still doesn't want you.
01:04:28She never will.
01:04:33So do you love him?
01:04:34No.
01:04:50Christine, I'm sorry if I rushed you, but not-
01:04:52I think we need to cool off for a bit.
01:05:06Look, I'm sorry I hate you, okay?
01:05:09I lost my cool.
01:05:10But you shouldn't have barged in and attacked Tony either.
01:05:17Okay, the silent treatment.
01:05:20Everything I'm doing is for the company and for this family.
01:05:24If I lose that Hiller contract because of you, I'll never be able to forgive you.
01:05:30Do you really believe in your heart of hearts that Tony was the one who got you the Hiller contract?
01:05:37Yes!
01:05:38Who else?
01:05:42You?
01:05:43Yes.
01:05:45Yes, Christine, you got the Hiller contract because of me.
01:05:49Elijah, don't be ridiculous.
01:05:51You're basically a house husband.
01:05:53How on earth would you know the Hillers?
01:05:56It's bad enough that I shoulder everything at work.
01:05:59Please, don't go spreading lies too.
01:06:01What?
01:06:03Christine, I haven't told you one lie in the five years that we've been together.
01:06:07Not one.
01:06:07Okay, look, I know that you're jealous of Tony.
01:06:12But the fact is, he landed me that contract.
01:06:15He granted my wish.
01:06:16I would never have asked him to help me out if I really thought you could do it.
01:06:22I have been carrying Parrish Enterprises since Grandpa died, all on my own.
01:06:26Please, tell me what you've done.
01:06:29In these five years, do you really believe that you would have gotten to where you are without me?
01:06:36I mean, besides scheduling my life and picking up after me,
01:06:45I could hire a maid to do your job.
01:06:53You think a maid could do my job?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:58Elijah, I need a real man.
01:07:01One that I can rely on, not someone who just cooks and cleans and picks up after me.
01:07:06Everything that you do for me just makes me hate you more.
01:07:21I see.
01:07:27Then let's get a divorce.
01:07:34Please, God.
01:07:37Let me catch something to feed the family tonight.
01:07:44Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:07:53What the heck?
01:07:55Is that gold?
01:08:02What does it say?
01:08:28Oh, no, what are you?
01:08:33I am known by many names across cities, times, and culture, but you probably know me as a genie.
01:08:40I shall grant you three wishes.
01:08:43No, you cannot wish for eternity, and no, you cannot wish for more wishes.
01:08:48Now tell me, mere mortal, what do you wish for?
01:08:54I wish...
01:08:56I wish...
01:08:57I wish... I wish we had more time.
01:09:01Don't worry, Grandpa.
01:09:03The best doctors in the world are on their way.
01:09:05When you're back on your feet, you better put it.
01:09:07Oh, silly girl.
01:09:09Death is not what scares me.
01:09:12What I'm worried about is who will take care of you after I'm gone.
01:09:18You're not going anywhere.
01:09:19We don't have to worry about that yet.
01:09:21No, but it's all right.
01:09:23I finally found a good husband for...
01:09:26someone I trust.
01:09:28Yes.
01:09:29Grandpa, I don't need a husband.
01:09:31What I need is for you to live.
01:09:36Oh, darling.
01:09:39You go rest, okay?
01:09:41Grandpa still has some work to do, okay?
01:09:45Okay.
01:09:52Put it down right here.
01:09:55And leave.
01:09:56And don't come back until I call you.
01:09:58Yes, Mr. Parrish.
01:10:18Everything I've built
01:10:20is thanks to you.
01:10:24I wish...
01:10:27I wish to become rich.
01:10:30I'm rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
01:10:34Your wish is my command.
01:10:39I wish...
01:10:42I wish...
01:10:52I wish...
01:10:55I wish...
01:11:06Steven, you were still young and spry last we spoke.
01:11:10Now you have succumbed to time.
01:11:12Have you summoned me to make your last wish?
01:11:17Speak, and our contract will be over.
01:11:21It's been nice knowing you, Steven Parrish.
01:11:25My third wish is your freedom.
01:11:28No lamp, no chain, no master.
01:11:33You're using your final wish on me?
01:11:36A final request.
01:11:37Speak.
01:11:40I want you to marry my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
01:11:49Take care of her once I have died for five years.
01:11:55Then you will be free.
01:12:04Your wish is my command.
01:12:07I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
01:12:13And in five years, I too shall finally have my freedom.
01:12:23According to Mr. Parrish's will, his entire estate and full control of Parrish Enterprises
01:12:31shall be inherited by his granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
01:12:34Under one condition, Christine must marry Elijah Barron.
01:12:39We then, will she be granted these rights?
01:12:43Who's Elijah Barron?
01:13:00Miss Parrish, I'm Elijah Barron, your future husband.
01:13:08This is ridiculous.
01:13:10Why would Grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
01:13:15I refuse.
01:13:17I'm sorry, Mr. Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron, your grandfather's inheritance
01:13:22will go to the shareholders.
01:13:26Christine, you can't let your grandfather's estate go to those greedy shareholders.
01:13:33I am sure your grandfather vetted him.
01:13:39Besides, he's easy on the eyes.
01:13:51Fine.
01:13:53I'll marry him.
01:13:58I promise from now on, I'll take care of you.
01:14:05Let's get one thing straight.
01:14:07I don't need you to take care of me.
01:14:10I can do that on my own.
01:14:12And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
01:14:15You're not touching me, and you're definitely not sitting in my bed.
01:14:23Sounds fun.
01:14:32For five years, I've kept my identity hidden.
01:14:35Looking after her, building her career from the shadows.
01:14:39All so Christine could one day stand on her own.
01:15:00How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
01:15:03I'm just doing my job.
01:15:04You hired me as your assistant.
01:15:06And as your husband.
01:15:08Shh.
01:15:09I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
01:15:11Look, I'm already stressed out enough.
01:15:13I have to land this Hiller deal.
01:15:16If you want to help, you can start by getting out.
01:15:19Now!
01:15:24Five years with this woman.
01:15:26It's like her heart is made of ice.
01:15:30Good thing my contract is ending soon.
01:15:34Yes, Senator Johnson.
01:15:36Yes.
01:15:37I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
01:15:39The Hiller deal?
01:15:43As in Adrian Miller?
01:15:44Thank you,
