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