Short filmTranscript
00:00:01So this is New York, the Big Apple.
00:00:04These buildings are so tall they could poke a hole in the sky.
00:00:08Come on Daisy, make it work in New York, make the money,
00:00:12and Dad gets his kidney surgery.
00:00:22Sir, can you hear me?
00:00:24Hey kid, don't touch him.
00:00:26In New York, being a good Samaritan can bankrupt you.
00:00:29Yeah, if he dies in your arms, you're getting sued for life.
00:00:32He can barely breathe, and you're just gonna stand there and watch?
00:00:41Hang in there sir, deep breaths.
00:00:44Come on, stay with me.
00:00:50Kid, was it you who saved me?
00:00:54Thank God, you're awake.
00:00:56Are you feeling better now?
00:01:01Kid, do you have a boyfriend?
00:01:03Uh, sir, I literally just got to New York.
00:01:06Dating isn't exactly on my to-do list yet.
00:01:08Good, I have a grandson, Julian.
00:01:10Cold as ice, works too much.
00:01:12He needs someone like you to bring some sunshine into his life.
00:01:23Let go of him.
00:01:24Write her a check.
00:01:26Make her leave.
00:01:27I've seen this kind of street scam before.
00:01:29Excuse me?
00:01:30You think having money gives you the right to insult people?
00:01:33That's enough, Julian.
00:01:34She saved my life.
00:01:37Julian, this is the girl I choose for you.
00:01:40Now take her to the marriage bureau and get married.
00:01:42Today.
00:01:47Grandpa, this whole payback act ends now.
00:01:50No, nothing.
00:01:50Marcus has the check ready.
00:01:52Take the money and send her on her way.
00:01:55Send her away?
00:01:57Julian, you think my life is worth a check?
00:02:00Then what exactly do you want?
00:02:01You seriously expect me to marry some random homeless girl?
00:02:04She is not homeless.
00:02:07She saved my life.
00:02:09Show some respect.
00:02:12Listen carefully.
00:02:14You're pushing our global towards an IPO, but you only control 35% of the voting shares.
00:02:22Without 15%, the board will throw you out before the IPO even happens.
00:02:27Marry her.
00:02:28What?
00:02:29Keep it private for one year.
00:02:30A real legal marriage.
00:02:3212 months.
00:02:33After the IPO, my 15% goes to you.
00:02:36Otherwise, you can start packing up your CEO office.
00:02:38You can't be serious.
00:02:42Mom, it's me.
00:02:44I made it to New York.
00:02:45Daisy, they found a kidney donor for your father.
00:02:47But the surgery and recovery will cost at least $100,000.
00:02:51If we can't pay by next week, they'll give the donor to someone else.
00:02:55Mom, don't panic.
00:02:56I'll figure something out.
00:02:57I promise.
00:03:04Sir, I accept your proposal.
00:03:07That was quick.
00:03:08So what's the price?
00:03:11I need $100,000.
00:03:13Turn, I'll cooperate and fulfill the one year marriage.
00:03:15100 grand.
00:03:16Not bad.
00:03:17Saving a life really pays well, huh?
00:03:18Done.
00:03:19I'll transfer the money immediately as part of the marriage contract.
00:03:22Then we make this clear right now.
00:03:24Rule number one.
00:03:24This marriage stays private.
00:03:26No one finds out who you are.
00:03:27Two.
00:03:27You stay out of my personal life.
00:03:29Three.
00:03:29One year from now, you take the money and disappear.
00:03:31Deal.
00:03:35Are you both entering this marriage voluntarily?
00:03:39Yes.
00:03:41Yes.
00:03:46The contract is now in effect.
00:03:48Marcus will wire the money to you.
00:03:52I'll report to work as soon as possible.
00:03:54Today's my first day.
00:03:55I can't be late.
00:03:55Work?
00:03:56Where do you work?
00:03:57Sterling Global.
00:03:58My childhood friend Caleb helped me get the job.
00:04:00It's just an entry-level janitor position, but I'll do my best.
00:04:05Get in.
00:04:06I'll drop you off on the way.
00:04:08Wow.
00:04:09This car rides really smooth.
00:04:11Must cost at least $50,000, right?
00:04:14Something like that.
00:04:16Ma'am, this custom colonon costs over half a million just in upgrades and you think it's
00:04:2050 grand?
00:04:28Hi, I'm Daisy Miller.
00:04:30I'm the new janitor starting today.
00:04:32What's that smell?
00:04:34Let me guess.
00:04:35Kentucky?
00:04:35This is a global financial headquarters, not some farm.
00:04:39A job is a job.
00:04:40I'm here to work, not to impress anyone's nose.
00:04:43Got some attitude, huh?
00:04:45Good morning, Missy.
00:04:46People like this now.
00:04:47Where are ya?
00:04:48Julian hates unprofessional staff.
00:04:50Brendan, keep an eye on her.
00:04:51Don't let her dirty the lobby floors.
00:04:53Julian?
00:04:53You think you can just say Mr. Sterling's name like that?
00:04:56He's the king of this building.
00:04:57And you are just dust on the floor.
00:05:00Julian.
00:05:02Same name as my husband?
00:05:04No way.
00:05:05Could he actually be?
00:05:12Wow, Daisy?
00:05:14Seriously?
00:05:14This is how you clean?
00:05:16Water all over the floor?
00:05:17What if a VIP slips?
00:05:19You planning to pay the lawsuit out of your janitor salary?
00:05:21I'll dry it right now.
00:05:24Oh my god!
00:05:25My shoes!
00:05:26Do you have any idea what these cost?
00:05:28I'm so sorry, Miss Victoria.
00:05:29I didn't mean to-
00:05:32Unbelievable.
00:05:33It's clear some people haven't learned proper manners.
00:05:37You can't even walk without making a mess.
00:05:39Those dirty hands of yours touched my shoes.
00:05:42You couldn't afford them in ten lifetimes.
00:05:45I said I was sorry.
00:05:47You can't just hit people.
00:05:48Can't?
00:05:49Honey, you ruined Miss Victoria's shoes.
00:05:51The fact that you still have a job right now is already a miracle.
00:05:54Get on your knees and wipe them clean.
00:05:55No.
00:05:57No?
00:05:58Brenda?
00:05:59Maybe she doesn't understand how things work here.
00:06:02Hm.
00:06:03Show her.
00:06:06Good morning, Mr. Sterling.
00:06:19Daisy?
00:06:21Julian.
00:06:24Who hit her?
00:06:29Julian.
00:06:30You actually know this...
00:06:33Janitor?
00:06:34Sterling Global doesn't tolerate trash that bullies its own staff.
00:06:39Marcus.
00:06:41Remove this receptionate from Manhattan.
00:06:44Effective immediately.
00:06:45And make sure she never works in finance again.
00:06:48Mr. Sterling, please!
00:06:50I'm begging you!
00:06:51I didn't know she was connected to you!
00:06:56Get her out of my sight.
00:07:00Come with me.
00:07:10I kept my identity hidden for a reason.
00:07:14I wanted to see what kind of person you really were.
00:07:17Most people would have jumped at the chance to call themselves Mrs. Sterling.
00:07:21Used the name.
00:07:22Pulled favors.
00:07:24Climbed their way up.
00:07:27But you actually showed up here to mop floors.
00:07:30Mr. Sterling.
00:07:31Do rich people really think poor people are born greedy?
00:07:34Like we're all just waiting for a shortcut?
00:07:36That's enough.
00:07:37You are legally Mrs. Sterling.
00:07:39I'm not letting my wife walk around in a janitor uniform.
00:07:42Assistant marketing manager.
00:07:44Starting tomorrow.
00:07:45No.
00:07:47No?
00:07:47I came to New York to earn money and save my dad.
00:07:51With my own hands.
00:07:52Not by marrying into money.
00:07:54Not by taking a shortcut someone handed to me.
00:07:58Maybe you think janitors are embarrassing.
00:08:00I don't.
00:08:01I work hard, I earn honestly, and I sleep just fine at night.
00:08:05If this marriage is supposed to stay secret, then let it stay secret.
00:08:09Completely.
00:08:10You'd rather scrub floors than sit in a manager's office?
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:16Mr. Sterling.
00:08:17For this one year, I'm your temporary wife.
00:08:19You don't need to control my life, and no one else can shape who I'll become but myself.
00:08:23Part of myKNvl 4
00:08:34Daisy, come here.
00:08:38Part of myKNV TRIDesÃo
00:08:44How am I working with
00:08:44What are you doing?
00:08:46Nothing. Just curious.
00:08:49Part of myKNV issue Esteyan is the only sheep.
00:08:52How am I breeding with anything?
00:09:00I'm sorry, I need to get back to work.
00:09:11That's the girl.
00:09:12The one who crossed Victoria and somehow kept her job.
00:09:14Yeah, and I heard she was in the CEO's office earlier.
00:09:17Come on, nobody gets that kind of access for free.
00:09:19Small town girl from Kentucky, she's definitely playing some kind of game.
00:09:23Hey, don't listen to them.
00:09:24But you really should be careful around Victoria.
00:09:27Why?
00:09:28She's from the Vance family.
00:09:29Old money, big influence.
00:09:32And she and Mr. Sterling grew up together.
00:09:34Basically childhood sweethearts.
00:09:41Julian, hold on.
00:09:43Your tie's crooked.
00:09:45Let me fix it.
00:09:49See what I mean?
00:09:50The whole company already treats her like the future Mrs. Sterling.
00:09:54Three years ago, Julian was in a terrible car accident.
00:09:57A mysterious girl saved him.
00:09:59Most people believe that girl was Victoria.
00:10:02So, there's already someone in his heart.
00:10:10Chloe, about what you said earlier, the woman who saved his life, was that really Victoria?
00:10:16Honestly?
00:10:16No idea.
00:10:17But for the past three years, Victoria's been acting like she's the one.
00:10:21And Julian never corrected.
00:10:22If anything, he lets her.
00:10:26Daisy, just hear me out.
00:10:28Don't fall for the CEO.
00:10:30Guys like him don't fall in love easily.
00:10:33And if they do, it's usually with the woman who saved their life.
00:10:38So this marriage was never real to him.
00:10:41Just something he did to keep his grandfather happy.
00:10:44And me, I'm just a placeholder.
00:10:48Sir, regarding your marriage, should we file it with the board?
00:10:53No.
00:10:54Keep it confidential.
00:10:56During the agreement period, I don't want anyone disturbing her life.
00:11:01Julian, what the hell did I just see in HR?
00:11:04You got married?
00:11:05Who is she?
00:11:06Victoria, you don't walk into my office without knocking.
00:11:11I came to this company because of you.
00:11:13I stayed here for three years because of you.
00:11:16And now you just marry some random woman?
00:11:18Just like that?
00:11:19Who is she?
00:11:20That's not your concern.
00:11:22Leave.
00:11:23Julian!
00:11:24Now.
00:11:26I hear Julian is married.
00:11:28Arthur always did have a sharp eye for people.
00:11:31Any girl he approves of must be special.
00:11:34My lady, we've learned that the new Mrs. Sterling works at Sterling Global.
00:11:37Her identity is being kept strictly confidential.
00:11:41Is that so?
00:11:42Then I suppose it's time for the godmother to pay a visit.
00:11:45Prepare something simple for me to wear, nothing expensive.
00:11:48I'll go to Sterling Global myself, quietly.
00:11:52I want to see for myself whether my godson's wife is worthy of the Sterling name.
00:12:05Oh, god.
00:12:11Hey, no, no, no.
00:12:13You can't sit there.
00:12:14That seating is for VIP clients, not for people wandering in off the street.
00:12:18I twisted my ankle.
00:12:20I just need a minute to sit.
00:12:21Then sit outside.
00:12:22There's a sidewalk for that.
00:12:24Don't mess up our lobby.
00:12:26Get up.
00:12:29Tiffany, what's the problem?
00:12:31Why is she still here?
00:12:32Mrs. Victoria, she won't leave.
00:12:34Says she hurt her ankle.
00:12:37Hurt her ankle?
00:12:39Or looking for a payout?
00:12:41Ma'am, Sterling Global has a top-tier legal department.
00:12:44If you're planning to fake an injury and sue us, you picked the wrong place.
00:12:51Is this how young socialists behave now?
00:12:54No courtesy.
00:12:56No grace.
00:12:57How unfortunate.
00:13:00Excuse me?
00:13:01You crazy old woman!
00:13:03Look at you!
00:13:05And you think you get to judge me?
00:13:08Tiffany, call security.
00:13:11Get her out of here.
00:13:13Stop.
00:13:14She's injured.
00:13:14You can't just throw her out.
00:13:16Of course.
00:13:17Daisy again.
00:13:18Don't you have floors to clean?
00:13:20Or is interfering in company business part of your job now?
00:13:24It's okay, ma'am.
00:13:25I've got something that can help.
00:13:27I brought this from Tucky.
00:13:29It's really good for springs and swelling.
00:13:32Thank you, dear.
00:13:33Kindness like this is hard to find in New York.
00:13:37Wow.
00:13:38The country girl and the old beggar.
00:13:40What a perfect match.
00:13:41What a perfect match.
00:13:44Security.
00:13:45Get these two out of here.
00:13:48Miss Victoria, you can't fire me just because I helped someone.
00:13:52Can't?
00:13:52Let me explain something to you.
00:13:54At Sterling Global, what I say goes.
00:13:56If I want you out, you're out.
00:13:57Don't be afraid, dear.
00:13:59Anyone who touches you today will answer to Julian personally.
00:14:02I promise you that.
00:14:04Oh.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:06Julian, thank God you're here.
00:14:08This janitor brought in some unstable old girl and caused a huge disturbance.
00:14:12She even talked back to management.
00:14:14I was just about to have them removed.
00:14:16Godmother?
00:14:17Why are you dressed like this?
00:14:19Julian, your company is quite something.
00:14:22This manager just called me a lunatook from the slums and tried to have me thrown out.
00:14:35Victoria, what exactly did you say to her?
00:14:40I didn't know it was Lady Montgomery.
00:14:42I thought she was just some random person.
00:14:44I mean, I didn't...
00:14:45Julian, this is Daisy.
00:14:47She's the one who helped me.
00:14:49From today on, no one at Sterling Global lays a hand on Daisy.
00:14:52Julian, are we clear?
00:14:56Crystal clear.
00:15:05Julian, are you seriously humiliating me over a janitor over her?
00:15:10She smells like cheap medicine and cleaning supplies and you're throwing me under the
00:15:13bus for this girl?
00:15:14What the hell did she do to you?
00:15:15What did she say to you that made you forget 20 years of history between us?
00:15:18Humiliate you?
00:15:20No, Victoria.
00:15:22You did that to yourself.
00:15:24You were reckless, rude, and completely out of line.
00:15:27The way you spoke to Lady Montgomery was unacceptable.
00:15:30Do you even understand who she is?
00:15:31The Montgomery family controls half the major charity foundations in New York.
00:15:35They have direct access to political and financial networks most companies spend decades
00:15:38trying to reach.
00:15:39I thought she was just some lost old woman.
00:15:41She looked like she didn't belong here.
00:15:42And that gave you the right to humiliate her?
00:15:45To treat her like she was beneath you?
00:15:47To insult her and my company?
00:15:48If Daisy hadn't stepped in, Lady Montgomery wouldn't be sitting here drinking tea.
00:15:52She would have walked out that door.
00:15:54And Sterling Global would have lost her support permanently.
00:15:56You almost destroyed three years of work in ten minutes.
00:15:59Then why are you protecting her?
00:16:00Why her?
00:16:01We grew up together, Julian.
00:16:02I've been standing next to you for years.
00:16:05Julian, tell me the truth.
00:16:07Have you ever loved me?
00:16:08I told you before, we are friends.
00:16:11Nothing more.
00:16:12Friends?
00:16:13You call this friendship?
00:16:14You'd rather defend a janitor than stand by me?
00:16:17You'd rather pick her than me?
00:16:24Mr. Sterling, please.
00:16:26Stay.
00:16:27You want to know who she is?
00:16:28Fine.
00:16:29I'll tell you.
00:16:31Sir, this isn't necessary.
00:16:32Listen carefully, Victoria.
00:16:34I have no interest in political marriages.
00:16:37I don't need alliances, and I don't need family arrangements, because I already made my choice.
00:16:48Daisy is not just a janitor.
00:16:51She is...
00:16:55Mr. Sterling, please.
00:16:57Don't say things like that.
00:16:59Manager Victoria, he's just thanking me for helping Lady Montgomery earlier.
00:17:03He didn't mean it.
00:17:05Thanking you?
00:17:07Julian, that's not even funny.
00:17:09Victoria, you should be working on the IPO briefing.
00:17:12Go.
00:17:14Go.
00:17:14Go.
00:17:24Take it.
00:17:24A thank you gift for what you did today.
00:17:27I really can't accept this.
00:17:29It's way too expensive, and janitors aren't allowed to wear jewelry at work.
00:17:33Who said you had to wear it on your hand?
00:17:45Keep it out of sight.
00:17:48It's really pretty.
00:17:57My godmother knows who you are now.
00:17:59She likes you.
00:18:00A lot.
00:18:01You helped me today.
00:18:03This is the least I could do.
00:18:04Julian, I left my phone.
00:18:07What was that?
00:18:08What were you two doing?
00:18:09Victoria, knock before you enter my office.
00:18:13Daisy, get back to work.
00:18:15Yes, sir.
00:18:21Well, damn.
00:18:22If it isn't Tucky's very own violin princess, Daisy Miller.
00:18:27Never thought I'd find you here.
00:18:28So what happened?
00:18:29Manhattan chew you up already?
00:18:31Now you're scrubbing floors just to survive?
00:18:33I heard you're working for Lady Montgomery now.
00:18:35You finally got yourself a nice uniform.
00:18:37It's not a uniform.
00:18:38I'm her private security consultant.
00:18:40Big difference.
00:18:40My salary alone could buy your family farm three times over.
00:18:43New York's for people like me, Daisy.
00:18:45Not for some farm girl who still smells like hay.
00:18:47She used to be quite a big deal.
00:18:49A rising star in the national youth music competition.
00:18:51Her future was bright.
00:18:52But then, she tried to win by using improper means to get close to a judge.
00:18:56Got exposed on the spot.
00:18:57Disqualified.
00:18:58Thrown out immediately.
00:18:59After that, her entire hometown was ashamed of-
00:19:01Jackson, you really want to bring that up?
00:19:03Because if we're telling the story, let's tell the whole thing.
00:19:06You bribed the judges.
00:19:07You framed me.
00:19:08And you took my spot.
00:19:09I work for a living.
00:19:10I take care of my father.
00:19:11I earn every dollar I make.
00:19:13I don't lie.
00:19:14I don't cheat.
00:19:14And I don't tear down people from my own hometown just to feel superior.
00:19:18You little janitor.
00:19:19Who the hell do you think you are?
00:19:25Let go!
00:19:26You're hurting me!
00:19:44Damn, a pink diamond this clean?
00:19:46You're a janitor, Daisy.
00:19:47Where the hell did you get something like this?
00:19:48Oh my god, that's Aurora's tear.
00:19:50Mr. Sterling had Marcus Hustam order it from Harry Quiston last week.
00:19:52It's worth over a million dollars.
00:19:53Over a million?
00:19:54No way.
00:19:54She had that on her?
00:19:55That has to be stolen.
00:19:56No explanation.
00:19:56Give it back!
00:19:57That ring is mine!
00:19:57Mr. Sterling gave it to me!
00:19:59Mr. Sterling gave it to you?
00:20:00Daisy, this is getting embarrassing.
00:20:02First you steal something worth a million dollars, now you're making up stories too?
00:20:05That ring was clearly meant for the future Mrs. Sterling, and somehow you think that's
00:20:08you?
00:20:09That's actually funny.
00:20:10People like her always think one expensive thing will change whole life.
00:20:12Steal a diamond, become a princess.
00:20:13Classic delusion.
00:20:13Back off!
00:20:14Stolen property doesn't belong to you.
00:20:15Don't touch it.
00:20:16Hands like yours will ruin it.
00:20:18You even know what this is worth?
00:20:19One scratch and you'd owe more than your whole life can pay back.
00:20:22What is wrong with you?
00:20:23Get your foot off her!
00:20:24You're gonna crush her hand!
00:20:26Good.
00:20:26That's exactly how you deal with thieves and corporate spies.
00:20:29Security, take her and the stolen ring to the office.
00:20:32I want him to see what kind of trash he's protecting.
00:20:42Julian, you need to hear this.
00:20:44Take a look at your employee.
00:20:46She stole the ring you had custom made.
00:20:49Aurora's tear.
00:20:50Jackson caught her in the act.
00:20:54Who did that to her?
00:20:55Mr. Sterling.
00:20:56I handled it.
00:20:57She tried to get rid of the evidence, so I had to step in.
00:21:00Used a little force, nothing serious.
00:21:03Handled it?
00:21:04Who told you you could lay a hand on my employee?
00:21:11Julian!
00:21:12You're defending the wrong person!
00:21:14She stole from you!
00:21:15Let me make this very clear.
00:21:17I gave that ring to Daisy.
00:21:19Personally.
00:21:20Jackson falsely accused a company employee, assaulted her, and damaged private property.
00:21:26Take him to the police.
00:21:27Legal will press charges.
00:21:29I don't want him anywhere near this company again.
00:21:31Get him out.
00:21:35Here, let me help you.
00:21:39If I gave it to you, you should have kept it on.
00:21:41Look at this.
00:21:42You almost wrecked your hand over a ring.
00:21:46You really don't know how to take care of yourself, do you?
00:21:49I didn't want to cause trouble for you.
00:21:51Now it's ruined.
00:21:52It's just a ring.
00:21:53It can be remade.
00:21:55Your hand can't.
00:21:57Hold still.
00:22:03Mr. Sterling, we found her.
00:22:05The woman who saved you in that Kentucky car accident three years ago?
00:22:10Go to the medical room.
00:22:12Get your hand treated properly.
00:22:13Then come back and wait for me.
00:22:17Start talking.
00:22:20All right.
00:22:21Talk.
00:22:21What'd you find?
00:22:24Mr. Sterling, we located the medical records from the Kentucky accident three years ago.
00:22:28It was a private rural clinic, so the files were buried in the county hospital archives.
00:22:32The doctor confirmed everything.
00:22:34A local girl happened to pass by and used a family-totted emergency method to keep you alive.
00:22:38She stopped the bleeding and stayed with you until the ambulance showed up.
00:22:41The girl's name was...
00:22:42Daisy Miller.
00:22:51Hey.
00:22:51Hey.
00:22:52Stay with me.
00:22:53Come on.
00:22:54Don't do this.
00:22:55Please.
00:22:56Wake up.
00:22:57Please.
00:22:57So it really was her.
00:23:00The woman I've been looking for all these years was right there the whole time.
00:23:06Daisy, you have no idea what just happened.
00:23:09The whole company's talking about you right now.
00:23:11The CEO fired that snobby Jackson because of you, and he straight up told everyone the ring was his gift
00:23:16to you.
00:23:19Chloe, he was just just protecting the company's image.
00:23:23There's someone he's been looking for, for three years.
00:23:27Someone who actually matters to him.
00:23:30I'm just the contract wife who happened to be here.
00:23:33Marcus.
00:23:34Yes, sir.
00:23:36Tomorrow's Daisy's birthday, right?
00:23:38Yes, sir.
00:23:39Good.
00:23:39I want tomorrow night's banquet ready, and I want a birthday gift prepared for Daisy.
00:23:42Something unforgeable.
00:23:44Something the whole city will remember.
00:23:45Daisy, this time, I've got you.
00:23:51Happy birthday, Daisy.
00:23:54Wait.
00:23:54You knew it was my birthday?
00:23:58Open it.
00:23:59Go on.
00:24:06Oh, my God.
00:24:08Is this an 18th century fiddle?
00:24:11It's incredible.
00:24:13It's really beautiful.
00:24:15But I don't play anymore.
00:24:18Why?
00:24:24Years ago.
00:24:25Small town girl thinks she can win?
00:24:27You got caught flirting with a judge, didn't you?
00:24:29Pathetic.
00:24:29No.
00:24:30That's not true.
00:24:31I didn't do anything.
00:24:35After that, everyone one back home knew.
00:24:39I was the girl who cheated to win.
00:24:42Three conservatories pulled my admission.
00:24:44Just like that, everything was gone.
00:24:49Daisy.
00:24:50I don't buy it.
00:24:52Not for a second.
00:24:54My grandfather chose you.
00:24:56He knew people.
00:24:57He wouldn't have trusted the wrong person.
00:24:59And I trust what I see.
00:25:00You're not that kind of person.
00:25:03So, yeah.
00:25:04I believe you.
00:25:14Mr. Sterling, we've got a serious problem.
00:25:19This better be worth it.
00:25:21Miss Victoria used the company seal without approval.
00:25:24She signed a performance bet agreement with Thorne Properties for the Hudson River Core land.
00:25:28The orchestra she hired just lost at Lincoln Center.
00:25:31Thorne is moving to seize the property.
00:25:34She did what?
00:25:35She gambled Sterling's most valuable land over a performance bet.
00:25:40Get the car ready.
00:25:42Now.
00:25:43Let's see if Thorne really thinks they can take what's mine.
00:25:51Victoria, this is your light of Manhattan.
00:25:54I've heard better music on a farm.
00:25:57Thorne, it was just a bad performance.
00:25:59They were off today, that's all.
00:26:01Off today?
00:26:02No, this is just bad.
00:26:05Stop embarrassing Sterling Group.
00:26:07In front of real European masters, this so-called American music is nothing but cheap noise.
00:26:14No soul, no class.
00:26:18Let me introduce you.
00:26:19Alistair, one of the greatest musical prodigies in the world.
00:26:23One string on his violin is worth more than your entire orchestra.
00:26:29Competing with musicians at this level is honestly beneath me.
00:26:33It's not over yet.
00:26:34The wage isn't finished.
00:26:35I'm from the Vance family, a real music family.
00:26:37I'll perform myself.
00:26:38Are you serious right now?
00:26:40The score is 0-3.
00:26:41The match is already over.
00:26:42No, I'm Julian Sterling's fiance.
00:26:44I represent Sterling Group.
00:26:45If I beat Alistair, the Hudson River land stays with us.
00:26:48You want to challenge me, Miss Victoria?
00:26:51Your hands belong on a Chanel handbag, not a violin bow.
00:26:57You heard him.
00:26:58Stop humiliating yourself.
00:27:00The Hudson River property is mine now.
00:27:03Go tell Julian this.
00:27:05He didn't just lose a piece of land.
00:27:07He lost the Sterling family's pride in Manhattan.
00:27:10Manager, we lost.
00:27:11If Mr. Sterling finds out we're finished, he'll throw us out of New York.
00:27:14It's over.
00:27:15Julian is going to kill me.
00:27:26What was that?
00:27:27Did you see that?
00:27:34Julian, thank God you're here.
00:27:36Thorne's been completely unreasonable.
00:27:40Julian, the contract is clear.
00:27:42Your team already lost.
00:27:45Showing up now won't change anything.
00:27:47Thorne, apparently you struggle with reading as much as you do with taste.
00:27:51What's that supposed to mean?
00:27:53The wager agreement is very clear.
00:27:55The match only ends when one side has no one left who can compete.
00:27:58Your orchestra is already finished.
00:28:02Since this manager insists she comes from a prestigious musical family and insists she can compete, then the match isn't
00:28:10over.
00:28:10Exactly.
00:28:12Thorne, do you even dare face me?
00:28:17Fine.
00:28:18Since Mr. Sterling is so eager to lose in person, I won't stop you.
00:28:23Victoria, go ahead.
00:28:26Watch closely, Daisy.
00:28:28This is what real high-class music looks like.
00:28:31Girls who spend their lives holding a mop don't belong on a stage like this.
00:28:34If I beat Alistair, I'll be the one who saves Sterling Groot.
00:28:40Julian will come back to me.
00:28:41He has to.
00:29:02Now that's the Vance family standard.
00:29:04At this speed, Alistair won't even get a chance to keep up.
00:29:08She's in top form today.
00:29:09That kind of jumping bow technique is insanely clean.
00:29:13No.
00:29:15This isn't right.
00:29:16She's going to lose.
00:29:17Daisy, do you even know what Paganati is?
00:29:19Keep your mouth shut and stop jinxing her.
00:29:21This is hilarious.
00:29:22A janner judging a professional violinist?
00:29:25You probably can't even read sheet, Mazel.
00:29:27Why do you think she's going to lose?
00:29:29She's rushing.
00:29:30She's sped up to dominate the tempo, but now her breathing and finger control are out of sync.
00:29:33She's forcing the rhythm.
00:29:34She won't last much longer.
00:29:36That's all you've got?
00:29:37Then let's end this.
00:29:43Don't force it.
00:29:45Manager, push through.
00:29:47Finish it.
00:29:58Yeah.
00:29:59What was that?
00:30:04Yeah.
00:30:06I figured.
00:30:11Bravo.
00:30:13Absolutely brilliant.
00:30:14Julian, that was easily the most expensive train wreck I've ever seen.
00:30:19Julian, I didn't mean for this to happen.
00:30:22The string snapped.
00:30:23I couldn't control it.
00:30:26Take a good look, everyone.
00:30:29This is Julian Sterling, New York's so-called undefeated legend, losing his own game in front
00:30:35of the entire city.
00:30:36Honestly, it's almost poetic.
00:30:39From today on, Julian, your Manhattan myth is officially over.
00:30:45Against real European masters, your American music sounds like background noise and a burger
00:30:49jump.
00:30:50Cheap.
00:30:50Loud.
00:30:51Disposable.
00:30:52Alistair, tell them what real music sounds like.
00:30:54With training like this, I'm not surprised Miss Victoria performed the way she did.
00:30:57All flash.
00:30:58No depth.
00:30:59No soul.
00:31:00Exactly.
00:31:01American music is a joke.
00:31:03You people belong playing country tunes on some dusty farm, not performing at Lincoln
00:31:08Center.
00:31:10This place isn't for amateurs with money, it's for people like me.
00:31:14Mr. Thorne, you really should stop talking.
00:31:23You've got to be kidding me.
00:31:25A Janner stepping up here?
00:31:27Daisy, have you lost your mind?
00:31:29Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough already?
00:31:32Who do you think you are?
00:31:34Go back to cleaning bathrooms.
00:31:36This isn't your place.
00:31:39Mr. Sterling, Sterling Group's reputation shouldn't be dragged through the mud by people
00:31:43like him.
00:31:44And what American music is, isn't for him to decide.
00:31:46Daisy, what are you planning to do?
00:31:49Let me play.
00:32:00Miss Daisy, you're violin.
00:32:05Julian!
00:32:06That soul of amber!
00:32:08You actually gave it to this nobody?
00:32:09Seriously, manager, what a waste.
00:32:11You can dress something up all you want, it doesn't change what it is.
00:32:14Hold it tight, poor girl.
00:32:16Snap one string and you'll spend your whole life paying it off.
00:32:19Julian, are you actually serious?
00:32:22You're betting Prime Manhattan land on a Janner's performance?
00:32:25Thorne, listen carefully.
00:32:27I'm listening.
00:32:28Final round.
00:32:29If Daisy loses, the land is yours.
00:32:31I'll sign the transfer on the spot.
00:32:33No backing out.
00:32:34Look at her.
00:32:35She's about to pass out from fear.
00:32:41Daisy, look at me.
00:32:43Don't be afraid.
00:32:44I trust you.
00:32:50Hey.
00:32:51What now, you here to beg?
00:32:53Let's change the rules.
00:32:54Both orchestras play, together.
00:32:55If you want to embarrass yourself even more, be my guest.
00:33:04Guys, drop the sheet, Mouzik.
00:33:06Wait, what?
00:33:08Follow my lead.
00:33:09Play your anger.
00:33:10Let it all out through the strings.
00:33:26What the hell is this?
00:33:30Is that real?
00:33:35Hey, move with it.
00:33:36Don't just stand there like statues.
00:33:50This is insane.
00:33:53That's not even real music.
00:33:55No.
00:33:56That's exactly what real music sounds like.
00:34:18I did it.
00:34:31Sir?
00:34:33Miss Daisy, I owe you an apology.
00:34:36I was wrong about you.
00:34:37Your music has life in it.
00:34:40Alistair!
00:34:40What the hell are you doing?
00:34:42You're just gonna hand her the win?
00:34:44Mr. Thorne, art isn't a business deal.
00:34:46There's no winning or losing, only truth.
00:34:49And today, her music spoke louder than mine.
00:34:52I accept.
00:34:54Well, Thorne, looks like the deal stands.
00:34:57That land, you're not getting anywhere near it.
00:34:59Julian, you really think this is over?
00:35:02For today?
00:35:03Yeah, it is.
00:35:05We're leaving.
00:35:07No.
00:35:08This can't be real.
00:35:09How could someone like her be a genius?
00:35:20Ladies and gentlemen, this is Sterling Group's Pride.
00:35:29Thank you, Julian.
00:35:31No.
00:35:34You saved us today.
00:35:36You're the hero here.
00:35:43Victoria, you used the company's seal without authorization and signed a private betting agreement.
00:35:48If Daisy hadn't stepped in, Sterling Group would have lost a billion dollars overnight.
00:35:53Julian, I was trying to help you take down Thorne.
00:35:56No.
00:35:57You were trying to help yourself.
00:36:00Effective immediately, you're terminated.
00:36:02Go to HR and pick up your severance package.
00:36:15I have an announcement.
00:36:17Victoria has been terminated for serious misconduct.
00:36:20The position of marketing director is now vacant.
00:36:24Mr. Sterling, I believe Miss Daisy proved her leadership and crisis management skills at Lincoln Center.
00:36:28She's the strongest candidate for this role.
00:36:30I second that.
00:36:31Daisy would be perfect for it.
00:36:32Me?
00:36:33No, I can't.
00:36:34I'm just a janitor.
00:36:35I wouldn't even know where to begin.
00:36:37$50,000 a month.
00:36:38Wait, did you just say $50,000?
00:36:44Base salary.
00:36:45$50,000 a month?
00:36:47Dad's medical treater would finally be covered.
00:36:50Mr. Sterling, I can do this.
00:36:53I'm in.
00:37:00Daisy, look at this place.
00:37:02This is literally the fanciest hotel in New York.
00:37:04Don't you think this is a little over the top?
00:37:06I feel like everyone's staring at me.
00:37:08Of course they are.
00:37:09The CEO threw this whole celebration just for you.
00:37:11Half the company's dying of jealousy right now.
00:37:13Tonight, you're the queen of Manhattan.
00:37:17Daisy, congratulations.
00:37:18Youngest marketing manager in Sterling Group history.
00:37:21That's pretty damn impressive.
00:37:23Kalem, what are you doing here?
00:37:25I wanted to give you this.
00:37:26A little promotion gift.
00:37:28I know things are different now, but I just wanted to show you how proud I am of you.
00:37:33Kalem, they're beautiful, but I really can't accept something this expensive.
00:37:38So what?
00:37:39Now that you're a big shop manager, you can't take a gift from a security guy?
00:37:43Come on, you know that's not it at all.
00:37:46Thank you, Caleb.
00:37:48Honestly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be standing here tonight.
00:37:51I'd still be back in Tucky, stressing over farm bills and wondering how to make ends meet.
00:37:55Of course, Daisy.
00:37:59Who is he?
00:38:01Head of security.
00:38:02Caleb.
00:38:02He's from the same hometown as Miss Daisy.
00:38:04Same hometown?
00:38:06They seem pretty close.
00:38:24Daisy, what's up with the boss tonight?
00:38:26He looks like he's in a terrible mood.
00:38:28Your guess is as good as mine.
00:38:29Guys like him are hard to read.
00:38:33I don't want to sleep.
00:38:35Where's the champagne?
00:38:38You again.
00:38:39Huh?
00:38:40Oh, it's you.
00:38:42Mr. Ice Cold CEO.
00:38:44Wait, hold on.
00:38:47Wow.
00:38:48Julian, are these actually real?
00:38:50Oh, wow.
00:38:52These are nice.
00:38:53Daisy, you really shouldn't be doing this.
00:38:55Just let me check again.
00:38:56One more time, please.
00:39:12Daisy, you asked for this.
00:39:37Okay, I'm fine.
00:39:38I'm fine.
00:39:43Daisy, you're up already?
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:45I sobered up pretty early and headed home.
00:39:47Then I realized I left something here, so I came back to grab it.
00:39:50You went home?
00:39:50That makes sense.
00:39:52I brought you soup last night and knocked on your door forever, but no one answered.
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:59Oh, damn it.
00:40:01What the hell happened last night?
00:40:03Sir, the car is ready for your trip to the office.
00:40:06Last night, who brought me back here?
00:40:08The celebration got pretty chaotic, sir.
00:40:10I was handling the aftermath with the hotel staff and didn't see who escorted you upstairs.
00:40:14Would you like me to pull the security footage to check?
00:40:17No.
00:40:18Whatever happened last night stays quiet.
00:40:20I don't want any rumors spreading around the company.
00:40:22Understood, sir.
00:40:26Sir, this appears to belong to a lady.
00:40:32An earring.
00:40:36Daisy.
00:40:38Was that you last night?
00:40:40Sir, there's a critical issue with the London acquisition.
00:40:44The team on the ground needs your immediate input.
00:40:46We need to leave right away.
00:40:55Get the jet ready.
00:40:56We're leaving now.
00:40:57What about Miss Daisy?
00:40:58Should we inform her you're leaving?
00:40:59She stays in New York.
00:41:01She just made manager.
00:41:02Time to prove she earned the title.
00:41:07Daisy, that's the third time this week.
00:41:10Your stomach's been acting up non-stop.
00:41:12Are you sure you're okay?
00:41:13Here, take this.
00:41:14It helped me when I had food poisonous last month.
00:41:16It won't help.
00:41:17I've tried everything.
00:41:18I can't keep anything down, not even water.
00:41:22You're throwing up like crazy.
00:41:24Don't tell me you're pregnant or something.
00:41:32Oh God, I'm pregnant.
00:41:36Would he even want you?
00:41:38Would he even care?
00:41:41Manager Daisy, the CEO has landed back in New York.
00:41:45He's back?
00:41:46Yes, ma'am.
00:41:48He's in his top floor office now, and he wants you there immediately.
00:41:54Manager Daisy,
00:42:01I've just been adjusting to the new position, sir.
00:42:04Still getting used to everything.
00:42:06The workload, the team, all of it.
00:42:09Is that so?
00:42:12Because it feels like you've been avoiding me.
00:42:15Every email, every report.
00:42:17You keep things as impersonal as possible.
00:42:27Sir, I read something in the news recently.
00:42:30It got me thinking.
00:42:32Go ahead.
00:42:32I'm listening.
00:42:33A woman got pregnant by a billionaire by accident.
00:42:36No strings attached, just a one-night thing.
00:42:40What do you think a man like that would do?
00:42:44Would he step up?
00:42:46Or walk away?
00:42:49Daisy, I've seen that story more times than I can count.
00:42:53Women trying to trap rich men with a baby,
00:42:55hoping for a payout, a title, a spot in their lives.
00:43:02It's predictable, pathetic even.
00:43:05And if it were real, if it wasn't a trap, if it was just an accident, what would you do?
00:43:11Be honest.
00:43:13Listen to me.
00:43:14There's no place in my life for accidents.
00:43:17No room for mistakes.
00:43:19No time for distractions.
00:43:21Unless it's with the woman I love.
00:43:24Someone I chose.
00:43:25Someone I want to build a life with.
00:43:27No one is having my child.
00:43:28Not now, not ever.
00:43:31And if something like that ever happened,
00:43:33if some woman tried to tie me down with that kind of situation,
00:43:36I'd put an end to it immediately.
00:43:38I wouldn't let it go further at all.
00:43:41I'd make sure it never became a problem.
00:43:43The woman he loves,
00:43:45that's the only one who matters to him.
00:43:48To him, you're just an accident.
00:43:50A mistake he'd erase without a second thought.
00:43:53But you're not a mistake.
00:43:55Not to me.
00:43:57It's okay.
00:43:59I won't let him find out.
00:44:01I'll protect you no matter what.
00:44:02Even if it means hiding this from him forever.
00:44:08Daisy,
00:44:09you recognize this, don't you?
00:44:17Someone left it in my bed after the celebration.
00:44:21Next morning,
00:44:22she was gone before sunrise.
00:44:26Vanished without a word,
00:44:27like she was never there.
00:44:29Tell me, Daisy.
00:44:30Why leave in such a hurry?
00:44:32Afraid of what might happen if you stayed?
00:44:34Sir,
00:44:36I think you've got the wrong person.
00:44:38Do I?
00:44:39Because your reaction says otherwise.
00:44:41I drank too much that night.
00:44:43Chloe took me home,
00:44:44she can tell you that.
00:44:45And the earring?
00:44:47Sure, it looks similar,
00:44:49but pieces like that are a dime a dozen in New York.
00:44:53It could belong to anyone.
00:44:56Sounds like you had quite a night, sir.
00:44:59Not even knowing who you woke up next to.
00:45:01Must be nice.
00:45:04If there's nothing else,
00:45:05I should get back to work.
00:45:06My team is waiting for me.
00:45:15Damn it!
00:45:17Sir?
00:45:18Is everything all right?
00:45:20Marcus.
00:45:21Find her.
00:45:22Find who, sir?
00:45:23Pull every security feed from the celebration night.
00:45:26Every hallway,
00:45:27every elevator,
00:45:28every entrance and exit in the hotel.
00:45:30I want to see every person who came near my suite.
00:45:33Check all hotel access logs, too.
00:45:35Who used key cards,
00:45:37who was signed in as a guest,
00:45:38who had access to the presidential floor.
00:45:42If it wasn't Daisy,
00:45:43then someone planned this.
00:45:46Someone snuck into my room,
00:45:47left that earring,
00:45:48and vanished.
00:45:49Trying to mess with me,
00:45:51or worse,
00:45:52find the woman who got into my room.
00:45:54Find her,
00:45:55and don't stop until you do.
00:45:57And when you do,
00:45:59make sure she regrets ever crossing me.
00:46:02Make sure she pays for playing games with me.
00:46:04Understood, sir.
00:46:05I'll start immediately.
00:46:11Sir,
00:46:12Miss Daisy didn't look too good when she left just now.
00:46:15She seemed tense,
00:46:16pale even.
00:46:18Should we maybe talk to her?
00:46:19Clear things up before this gets any more complicated?
00:46:22Clear up what?
00:46:23That I don't even know who the woman was in my bed that night?
00:46:26I just mean,
00:46:28if you keep investigating this quietly,
00:46:30she might get the wrong idea.
00:46:32Listen to me, Marcus.
00:46:34Daisy cannot find out about this investigation.
00:46:36Not yet.
00:46:37But sir,
00:46:38secrets like this don't stay hidden forever.
00:46:40Once I review all the surveillance from that night,
00:46:42and track down the woman who set me up,
00:46:44who left that earring and vanished,
00:46:46I'll tell Daisy everything myself.
00:46:47I'll explain.
00:46:48But until then,
00:46:50watch what you say.
00:46:52Don't mention the investigation to anyone.
00:46:54Yes, sir.
00:46:54I won't say a word.
00:46:56Miss Victoria,
00:46:58please don't upset yourself.
00:47:00Mr. Julian must have been fooled by that country girl,
00:47:02Daisy.
00:47:03She's just a lucky nobody.
00:47:04He'll come to his senses sooner or later,
00:47:06and regret pushing you away.
00:47:09Tiffany,
00:47:10how long have you been working with me?
00:47:12How long have you been by my side?
00:47:14Almost three years now,
00:47:16Miss Victoria.
00:47:16I've always thought you were smarter than Daisy.
00:47:18Sharper,
00:47:19more capable,
00:47:20and far more refined.
00:47:21You deserve better than being stuck as a low-level assistant.
00:47:24You're too kind,
00:47:25Miss Victoria.
00:47:25I just try to do my best.
00:47:27Someone like Daisy doesn't belong in that manager's office.
00:47:30She's a farm girl with no class,
00:47:32no connections,
00:47:33no idea how the corporate world works.
00:47:36That position should have been yours from the start.
00:47:41You've earned it.
00:47:43Mine?
00:47:43I could be marketing manager?
00:47:45If you can push Daisy out of Sterling Group,
00:47:47make her disappear from Manhattan,
00:47:49make her too embarrassed or too scared to come back,
00:47:52I'll use every family connection I have on the board
00:47:54to back you as the next marketing manager.
00:47:58You really mean that?
00:47:59We're the same kind of people, Tiffany.
00:48:02You and me,
00:48:03we understand how this world works.
00:48:05We know that to get what you want,
00:48:08you have to fight for it.
00:48:11I get it.
00:48:12I'll make sure she crashes hard on the way down.
00:48:15Good.
00:48:16She's a stain on Sterling Group
00:48:17and on Julian.
00:48:21Daisy,
00:48:22let's see how long you can stay proud.
00:48:31Daisy,
00:48:32you need to see this.
00:48:33The company forum is blowing up.
00:48:35People are saying the CEO is secretly married
00:48:37and his wife is some mysterious high society woman from Europe.
00:48:43Office gossip.
00:48:44You actually buy that nonsense?
00:48:45Why wouldn't I?
00:48:46A guy like Julian?
00:48:48Top of the food chair,
00:48:49handsome,
00:48:49loaded.
00:48:50What kind of woman do you think could actually lock him down?
00:48:52Come on,
00:48:54Daisy.
00:48:54You've been around him a lot lately,
00:48:56way more than anyone else.
00:48:57You really haven't noticed anything?
00:48:59Any little clues?
00:49:01A ring?
00:49:02A secret call?
00:49:03Something?
00:49:04I focus on work,
00:49:05nothing else.
00:49:06The CEO's personal life isn't any of my business.
00:49:08Yeah,
00:49:09figures.
00:49:10People like him live in a whole different world from us.
00:49:12We can only guess.
00:49:16Well,
00:49:17look who it is.
00:49:18Our so-called violin genius,
00:49:20turned marketing manager,
00:49:22turned whatever you're trying to be now.
00:49:24Still making your own coffee even after becoming a manager?
00:49:28What's wrong?
00:49:29Miss being the janitor already?
00:49:31Miss scrubbing floors and cleaning after everyone else?
00:49:35If you spent half this energy on your work instead of running your mouth,
00:49:39last quarter's reports wouldn't be such a disaster.
00:49:41You might actually be useful around here.
00:49:45Daisy,
00:49:46playing some ordinary songs in a busy station doesn't make you special.
00:49:50Girls like you,
00:49:51ambitious,
00:49:52without background or connections,
00:49:54trying to get close to the CEO just to move up faster,
00:49:57climb into his bed,
00:49:58sounds like something you'd know more about than me.
00:50:01You've been practically drooling over him since you started working here.
00:50:05Say that again!
00:50:06I dare you!
00:50:07Victoria's gone.
00:50:09Fired,
00:50:09remember?
00:50:09Now you're just a stray dog barking in the hallway trying to pick up her scraps?
00:50:15Or are you planning to follow her out the door next?
00:50:17Because that's where you're headed if you keep wasting company time on this.
00:50:21You're nothing but lucky.
00:50:22A lucky nobody who got a handout.
00:50:25You really think Julian cares about you?
00:50:27There's a woman he's been looking for his whole life.
00:50:30The one who saved him when he was a kid.
00:50:32She's the only person he'll ever love.
00:50:35The only one who matters.
00:50:36You don't even register.
00:50:39To him,
00:50:40you're nothing.
00:50:41Not even close.
00:50:43What the hell is going on in here?
00:50:53Tiffany,
00:50:54did Sterling Group hire you to start fights in the break room to harass your superiors?
00:50:58Mr. Julian,
00:50:59I was just,
00:50:59I was just discussing work with manager Daisy.
00:51:01It wasn't a fight,
00:51:02I swear.
00:51:02Discussing work?
00:51:04Is that what you call it?
00:51:06Marcus.
00:51:08Yes, sir.
00:51:09Cut her entire bonus for this month.
00:51:11No exceptions.
00:51:12And if I hear this kind of talk again,
00:51:14if I see you so much as look at Daisy the wrong way,
00:51:16she's done here.
00:51:17Fired.
00:51:18No second chances.
00:51:19Understood?
00:51:20Yes, sir.
00:51:21I understand.
00:51:23I'm sorry.
00:51:35This is impossible.
00:51:36There are millions of women in New York.
00:51:38How am I supposed to find one woman with just an earring?
00:51:41Cinderella loses one earring,
00:51:43and I'm the poor guy stuck searching the whole city for her.
00:51:45This is ridiculous.
00:51:48Cinderella?
00:51:49So the CEO is looking for a woman,
00:51:51and that earring is the only clue.
00:51:54Looks like fate just handed me an opportunity.
00:51:57Mrs. Sterling,
00:51:58that position is mine.
00:52:06Oh.
00:52:09Stop.
00:52:11Mr. Julian?
00:52:11Did you call me?
00:52:13I'm so sorry.
00:52:14I dropped these.
00:52:15I wasn't paying attention.
00:52:16That earring.
00:52:17Where did you get it?
00:52:19It was a gift.
00:52:20From some very important to me.
00:52:23Someone I'll never forget.
00:52:29Out.
00:52:32Mr. Julian,
00:52:33I don't understand.
00:52:34It's me.
00:52:50Marcus,
00:52:50you're sure about this?
00:52:51The woman who got into my room that night
00:52:53was really her?
00:52:55The earring matches exactly, sir.
00:52:57It's identical to the one we found in your suite.
00:52:58There's no other reasonable expert.
00:52:59Figures.
00:53:00A woman like that,
00:53:01desperate, greedy,
00:53:02clawing for power,
00:53:02would do anything to climb the corporate ladder
00:53:04to lie to someone like me.
00:53:05Cheap ambition all into where I'm based
00:53:06that a single night of carelessness
00:53:07would be enough to trap me?
00:53:08What a joke.
00:53:09Pathetic, really.
00:53:10Listen carefully, Marcus.
00:53:11Contact the best private hospital in the city.
00:53:13Make the arrangements.
00:53:14No questions asked.
00:53:16If she's pregnant,
00:53:16if she's stupid enough
00:53:17to try that tired, cheap trick,
00:53:19I want it handled.
00:53:19Immediately.
00:53:20No delays, no excuses.
00:53:22Sir,
00:53:22if she asks for compensation,
00:53:23if she demands a settlement,
00:53:24then give her the money!
00:53:25Write whatever check she wants,
00:53:26$10,000, $100,000 more.
00:53:28Just get her out of New York.
00:53:29Get her as far away from me as possible
00:53:31and make sure she never comes back.
00:53:32I don't want it kept.
00:53:34Not for a second.
00:53:35Understood?
00:53:37Cheap.
00:53:38Dirty.
00:53:40Disposable.
00:53:41A gold-digging liar.
00:53:43So this is what I am to you.
00:53:46Just someone you can use for one night,
00:53:49then erase whenever you want.
00:53:56I won't let you touch him.
00:53:59I won't let you hurt my baby.
00:54:06Well, well, Manager Daisy.
00:54:08You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:54:12Mr. Julian just called me into his office,
00:54:14asked me a lot of very personal questions.
00:54:17Looks like that manager title of yours
00:54:18is about to go to someone
00:54:19with a little more value.
00:54:21Someone who actually matters to the CEO.
00:54:24See this?
00:54:25This is what the boss has been looking for.
00:54:26The clue to the woman from that night.
00:54:28Daisy,
00:54:28you probably wouldn't even get close to jewelry
00:54:30like this in your lifetime.
00:54:31You're just a farm girl after all.
00:54:33Tiffany,
00:54:34you really think a fake piece of jewelry
00:54:35is going to win you his heart?
00:54:37You have no idea
00:54:38what kind of abyss you're walking into.
00:54:39Julian isn't someone you can manipulate.
00:54:41Abyss?
00:54:42Still better than being a person like you.
00:54:44Someone who never even got through the door.
00:54:45You think he cares about you?
00:54:46You're just a temporary toy to him.
00:54:48When I become Mrs. Sterling,
00:54:49I'll personally send you back
00:54:51to your little Kentucky farm to feed pigs.
00:54:53You'll never set foot in Manhattan again.
00:54:55Mrs. Sterling.
00:54:57Good luck with that.
00:54:58Hope you keep smiling this confidently
00:55:00when you realize what you've gotten yourself into.
00:55:05So Julian got the wrong person.
00:55:07He thinks Tiffany was the one in his room that night,
00:55:10the one who left the earring,
00:55:11the one he's been searching for.
00:55:12So that's the truth.
00:55:14Because he thinks it's Tiffany's baby,
00:55:16he can destroy it without even blinking.
00:55:19In his world, people like us don't matter.
00:55:21Not even our lives.
00:55:23Nothing is more important than the Sterling name
00:55:25than his pride.
00:55:29Tiffany, this is the last time I'm asking.
00:55:32August 11th, the night of the company celebration.
00:55:34Was it you in my hotel room?
00:55:36Yes, Mr. Julian.
00:55:37It was me.
00:55:38I was so nervous that night.
00:55:39I left before you woke up
00:55:41because I thought you might not remember me
00:55:42or that you'd regret it.
00:55:43Then tell me something.
00:55:45Something only the woman from that night would know.
00:55:47What do you remember about me that night?
00:55:49Anything specific?
00:55:52I, uh, you're in great shape.
00:55:54Strong.
00:55:55Very, very charming.
00:55:56I was so overwhelmed by you.
00:55:59You really like this perfume.
00:56:02You really like this perfume.
00:56:04The floral one.
00:56:06Chlorine, clying, overbearing.
00:56:10It makes me sick.
00:56:12Mr. Julian, it's the latest limited edition.
00:56:14That room didn't smell like this.
00:56:16The woman from that night smelled like jasmine.
00:56:18Soft, subtle, nothing like this overdone garbage.
00:56:22Look at it.
00:56:23Really look.
00:56:24Top jewelry expert already checked it.
00:56:26Hand cut.
00:56:27One of a kind.
00:56:28South African deep sea diamond.
00:56:32And yours?
00:56:34Cheap motionite.
00:56:35Fake.
00:56:36Not even the same material.
00:56:39You thought this would fool me?
00:56:41Mr. Julian, please.
00:56:42I was wrong.
00:56:43I'm so sorry.
00:56:44It wasn't my idea.
00:56:45It was Victoria.
00:56:46She told me to do it.
00:56:48Please, give me another chance.
00:56:49I'll do anything.
00:56:51You tried to get into my bed, lied to my face, and play me like an idiot.
00:56:57That takes guts.
00:56:58I'll give you that.
00:57:00Marcus.
00:57:01Yes, sir.
00:57:02Call every headhunter in New York.
00:57:04Every investment firm, every corporate recruiter, every agency.
00:57:08Even bars and clubs, diners, anywhere that hires people.
00:57:13No, Mr. Julian, please.
00:57:17You can't do this to me.
00:57:18I have nowhere to go.
00:57:20It wasn't her.
00:57:22And where the hell is the woman from that night?
00:57:25Who was she?
00:57:26Why did she go?
00:57:29Mr. Julian, please.
00:57:32Don't blacklist me.
00:57:33I'm begging you.
00:57:37Marcus.
00:57:38Get her out of here.
00:57:39I don't want to see her anywhere in this building again.
00:57:53That earring.
00:57:54Why does Mr. Julian have it?
00:58:03Daisy.
00:58:04Hey, what's wrong?
00:58:05You look really pale.
00:58:06I'm okay, Caleb.
00:58:07Just didn't sleep much last night.
00:58:09Daisy.
00:58:09The earrings I gave you.
00:58:11Did you lose one?
00:58:11I just saw it in the CEO's office.
00:58:13He really had it?
00:58:15That pair was custom made.
00:58:16Only one in New York.
00:58:17Took me six months of savings to get it.
00:58:18Why would Mr. Julian have it?
00:58:19Is he giving you trouble?
00:58:20If she's pregnant, handle it immediately.
00:58:22I'm sorry, Caleb.
00:58:23I lost it.
00:58:24I really didn't mean to.
00:58:27Hey, it's okay.
00:58:28It's just an earring.
00:58:29Don't cry.
00:58:30As long as you're safe, that's all that matters.
00:58:36Caleb.
00:58:38Who the hell do you think you are?
00:58:47Julian!
00:58:47Have you lost it?
00:58:48Let go of me!
00:58:50Daisy.
00:58:50Have I been too easy on you?
00:58:52Hugging a security guard in the lobby in front of the entire company?
00:58:55Caleb is not a security guard.
00:58:56He's family.
00:58:57Mr. Sterling, you're crossing a line.
00:58:59Family?
00:59:00Since when does family hold each other like that?
00:59:02Don't forget who you are, Daisy.
00:59:03You're Mrs. Sterling.
00:59:04My wife.
00:59:06Contract wife.
00:59:07That's all I am.
00:59:08So show some boundaries, Julian.
00:59:15Mr. Caleb, we should talk.
00:59:18Daisy isn't someone you should be pursuing.
00:59:20I know what you're implying.
00:59:22Yeah, I like Daisy.
00:59:23Always have, since we were kids.
00:59:25Then keep your distance.
00:59:26She only sees me as a brother.
00:59:30She's suffered enough since coming to New York.
00:59:32I just want to protect her.
00:59:35I don't know what CEO is trying to pull, but if he uses those earrings I gave Daisy to embarrass
00:59:41her or hurt her, I won't let it happen.
00:59:44Hold on.
00:59:45Earrings?
00:59:46What earrings?
00:59:49Mr. Sterling, we found something.
00:59:53Get out.
00:59:55The earring.
00:59:56It was Caleb's promotion gift to Daisy.
00:59:58Custom made.
00:59:59One of a kind.
01:00:01Caleb admitted it himself.
01:00:03Daisy is the woman from that night.
01:00:08It's her.
01:00:10It was her all along.
01:00:16You wanted to see me?
01:00:18Daisy.
01:00:19Are you still going to deny it?
01:00:21I don't know what you mean.
01:00:23Caleb told me.
01:00:24Custom made.
01:00:25One pair in the whole city.
01:00:26August 11th.
01:00:27The woman in my room, that was you.
01:00:28It's always been you, isn't it?
01:00:31I thought it was just a mistake.
01:00:33It didn't have to mean anything.
01:00:34Then why'd you run?
01:00:34Why let me go crazy looking for you and not say a word?
01:00:38Daisy.
01:00:39I've been searching for you this whole time.
01:00:41The woman I love, it's always been you.
01:00:44Which one is real?
01:00:45The man standing in front of me?
01:00:47Or the one who wanted to get rid of my baby?
01:00:49Julian, don't.
01:00:50I can't do this.
01:00:51I'm a mess right now.
01:00:52You say you love me?
01:00:53But do you even know what you were looking for?
01:00:55If I was just some ordinary girl, or worse, a problem, would you still feel this way?
01:01:00Daisy, what are you talking about?
01:01:01You're you, my wife.
01:01:02That's all that matters.
01:01:04No.
01:01:05I don't buy it.
01:01:06This, whatever this is, it's too fast.
01:01:08It freaks me out.
01:01:10I don't even know if tomorrow you'll go right back to being that cold, distant CEO again.
01:01:27Julian, do you actually love me?
01:01:29Or is this just because of that night?
01:01:32Daisy, look at me.
01:01:33From the moment you walked into my life, there's been no one else.
01:01:37Not before.
01:01:38Not now.
01:01:39Not ever.
01:01:42I love you.
01:01:46Not out of obligation.
01:01:48Not because of some deal.
01:01:50Just because you're you.
01:01:53Mr. Sterling, I was just dropping off some files.
01:01:56Yeah, files.
01:01:56Right.
01:01:57We were just, uh, checking in on something work-related.
01:02:00I pay you to do your jobs, not to lurk outside my office.
01:02:04Sterling, we'll go.
01:02:05Right now.
01:02:05Don't let it happen again.
01:02:06If I hear one word, one rumor about what goes on in here, you can collect your final
01:02:11paycheck from finance.
01:02:15Did you hear that?
01:02:16He said Daisy's the only one for him.
01:02:18That was basically a love confession.
01:02:20I'm telling you something about her.
01:02:22She keeps it low-key, but still, what if she's actually his wife?
01:02:26You know, the one no one's ever seen.
01:02:28Please, a nobody like her?
01:02:30She didn't get there by accident.
01:02:32Seriously?
01:02:33That's enough.
01:02:34You've seen how hard Daisy works.
01:02:36She earned her spot.
01:02:37Chloe, of course you'd defend her.
01:02:39But this whole secret wife thing...
01:02:41So what if it's real?
01:02:42If you're that jealous, go get the boss to confess to you.
01:02:45If Daisy is Mrs. Sterling, then yeah, she deserves it.
01:02:49Daisy, I don't know what's really going on with you and Mr. Sterling.
01:02:54But I'm on your side.
01:02:55Always.
01:02:58Oh my god, did you hear?
01:03:00Mr. Sterling just confessed.
01:03:01In his office.
01:03:02You're kidding.
01:03:03Then Daisy, she has to be the secret Mrs. Sterling.
01:03:04She really kept that under wraps.
01:03:06And Victoria, acting like she owned the place before, turns out she just made a fool of
01:03:09herself.
01:03:10Daisy, so it really is you.
01:03:13You actually took what's mine.
01:03:17Daisy?
01:03:18You two-faced snake!
01:03:19What did you do?
01:03:20What kind of dirty tricks did you pull to get into Julian's bed and steal the title
01:03:23of Mrs. Sterling?
01:03:24Victoria, this is the office.
01:03:26Pull yourself together.
01:03:27Pull myself together?
01:03:28You destroyed everything I had and you're telling me to calm down?
01:03:36Look at yourself, Victoria.
01:03:38It's honestly pathetic.
01:03:41What did you just say?
01:03:43You had everything.
01:03:44Status, looks, talent.
01:03:46Julian respected you.
01:03:48Gave you more than enough.
01:03:49Shut up!
01:03:51And what did you do with it?
01:03:52You threw it all away over a man who doesn't even love you.
01:03:56Shut up!
01:03:56Who do you think you are?
01:03:58I'm not trying to teach you anything.
01:04:00That position you're so obsessed with?
01:04:03Once the divorce is finalized, it's yours.
01:04:05I'll walk away.
01:04:08I don't fight other women over a man.
01:04:11Especially not one who doesn't love you.
01:04:13Once you're gone, Julian will come back to me!
01:04:15Even if you take something that was never yours?
01:04:18Taste it easily around thou instead me.
01:04:21How long do you think you can keep it?
01:04:24A Mrs. Sterling built on schemes?
01:04:27You really think you can hold on to that?
01:04:29You're shameless!
01:04:30I'll never let you get away with this!
01:04:35Daisy?
01:04:36Daisy, where are you?
01:04:37So what if you won that little argument?
01:04:39To Julian, you'll always be the cunning, bitter one.
01:04:44What are you doing?
01:04:45Watch and learn.
01:04:47This is how you play it right.
01:04:55Victoria!
01:04:57Julian, it hurts.
01:04:59It hurts so bad.
01:05:01Please, help me.
01:05:02Julian, it wasn't me.
01:05:04She jumped.
01:05:06I didn't push her, I swear.
01:05:08Just listen to me.
01:05:09Don't talk.
01:05:10Just stay with me.
01:05:12I've got you.
01:05:13I'm taking you to the hospital.
01:05:15Julian!
01:05:16I did it!
01:05:19Julian.
01:05:20So this is it?
01:05:22This is your no one else?
01:05:26Mr. Sterling?
01:05:27I'm afraid the situation isn't great.
01:05:30Miss Victoria has severe nerve damage in her right arm.
01:05:32She'll regain basic use, but playing the violin at a professional level again is very unlikely.
01:05:39Julian, I've spent 20 years on this.
01:05:41It's my whole life.
01:05:42It's all gone.
01:05:44What am I supposed to do now?
01:05:46No, no, my hand.
01:05:52Victoria, hey, calm down.
01:05:53I'll find the best specialist out there.
01:05:55We're not out of options yet.
01:05:57Calm down?
01:05:58How do you expect me to calm down?
01:06:00She did this!
01:06:01Daisy ruined me!
01:06:02She pushed me!
01:06:03She knew I'm a violinist!
01:06:05She wanted to destroy my hands!
01:06:07I'll say it one last time.
01:06:09I didn't push her.
01:06:10Daisy, stop.
01:06:12Look at the situation.
01:06:13Her arm's broken.
01:06:14Her career's over.
01:06:16So what?
01:06:17Now I'm the villain in your story?
01:06:19Victoria ended up like this because of us.
01:06:21Daisy, I'm asking you.
01:06:23Just apologize.
01:06:26Apologize?
01:06:27Julian, I didn't do it.
01:06:29And I'm not owning something I didn't do.
01:06:31She's lost everything.
01:06:32Is saying sorry really that hard?
01:06:33Yeah.
01:06:34It is.
01:06:35Because that's the last bit of self-respect I have left.
01:06:37I'm sorry.
01:06:38On Daisy's behalf.
01:06:39And I'll take full responsibility for what happens next.
01:06:41Take responsibility.
01:06:43Fine, Julian.
01:06:45Then spend the rest of your life doing exactly that.
01:06:53Mom, I'm coming home.
01:06:56Yeah, I shouldn't have come to New York.
01:06:57I don't belong here.
01:07:05Daisy!
01:07:06Stop!
01:07:07We're not done talking!
01:07:09About what?
01:07:10How you're going to take care of your violinist?
01:07:11I'm trying to fix this.
01:07:13Victoria's not in a good place.
01:07:15I can't just leave her like that.
01:07:16Wow.
01:07:17Look at you.
01:07:18Mr. Responsible.
01:07:24Divorce papers.
01:07:25Signed.
01:07:26And a check.
01:07:27One hundred thousand.
01:07:28Divorce papers?
01:07:29Daisy?
01:07:30What are you doing?
01:07:31That money?
01:07:32I earned every cent at Sterling.
01:07:34It's clean.
01:07:35What I owed you?
01:07:37Consider it settled.
01:07:38From now on, I don't owe you anything.
01:07:41Not my life.
01:07:42Not my heart.
01:07:45When did you do this?
01:07:47Piece by piece.
01:07:48When you chose to doubt me.
01:07:50For her.
01:07:51When you didn't even hesitate to carry her away.
01:07:56When you asked me to apologize to that psycho.
01:08:02Daisy!
01:08:03Get out!
01:08:03Let's go back to the office and talk this through!
01:08:05It's not what you think!
01:08:11Daisy!
01:08:15Mr. Sterling!
01:08:16Mr. Sterling!
01:08:17We got it!
01:08:19Hidden cam in the stairwell.
01:08:21Watch this.
01:08:22Victoria grabs Daisy's hand.
01:08:23Then throws herself backward.
01:08:25On purpose.
01:08:26She...
01:08:26Did that to herself?
01:08:27She gambled her own hand?
01:08:29Just to set Daisy up?
01:08:30Yeah.
01:08:31And the doctor came clean.
01:08:32She paid him off.
01:08:33It's not serious.
01:08:34Just a sprain.
01:08:35Damn it!
01:08:36I actually believed her.
01:08:38Where's Daisy?
01:08:39Where is she?
01:08:39We traced her ride.
01:08:40She's heading to JFK.
01:08:45Come on!
01:08:46Pick up!
01:08:47Daisy, please!
01:08:48Just answer me!
01:08:53Sir.
01:08:54Stop.
01:08:56Which gate?
01:08:57Tell me where she is!
01:08:58The flight to her hometown left ten minutes ago.
01:09:05I lost her.
01:09:07I'm the one who drove her away.
01:09:15Sir!
01:09:15We've got something.
01:09:18You find her?
01:09:20She didn't board.
01:09:20I checked every flight to Kentucky last night.
01:09:23She had a ticket, but never made it to the gate.
01:09:25I didn't board.
01:09:27So she's not even going home.
01:09:29We don't know why yet.
01:09:30But I've got people checking all the major transit hops.
01:09:36I'm coming.
01:09:42Mr. Sterling!
01:09:43Morning!
01:09:43Chloe, you're thirty minutes late.
01:09:45I had a reason.
01:09:46I was with Daisy at the airport last night.
01:09:48We were there forever.
01:09:48I barely slept.
01:09:50You were with her?
01:09:53Where is she?
01:09:55Marcus said she didn't board.
01:09:56Why?
01:09:57Don't even ask.
01:09:58She passed out in the terminal.
01:10:00Couldn't wake her.
01:10:01By the time she woke up, the plane was already gone.
01:10:03Where is she now?
01:10:05She didn't want to pay to rebook.
01:10:08Said she'd rather send the money home.
01:10:12So, she's probably at the Greyhound station by now.
01:10:15Trying to switch to a bus.
01:10:17Greyhound station?
01:10:18Move.
01:10:19Yes, sir.
01:10:24Did he just get a second wind or something?
01:10:33Now arriving at gate six, New York.
01:10:43Julian?
01:10:45You really think you can just leave like that?
01:10:49Let go, Julian.
01:10:51I already signed the divorce papers.
01:10:54We're done.
01:10:57Done?
01:10:58Daisy, until I sign those papers, you're still Mrs. Sterling.
01:11:02No signature from me.
01:11:04No divorce.
01:11:05No resignation.
01:11:07None of it goes through.
01:11:09Hey!
01:11:10Take it somewhere else.
01:11:11You're holding everyone up.
01:11:12You're getting on or not.
01:11:12We don't have all day.
01:11:14Move!
01:11:14I need to get on.
01:11:16Julian, stop this seriously.
01:11:19Last call.
01:11:20Either get on or I'm closing the doors.
01:11:28Everyone on this bus, I'm covering your tickets and you each get an extra hundred bucks.
01:11:34No way!
01:11:36What's it say?
01:11:38One condition.
01:11:39She doesn't get on this bus.
01:11:41Not a problem, sir.
01:11:42Not a problem at all.
01:11:44Sorry, miss.
01:11:45Bus is out of service.
01:11:47You'll have to step back.
01:11:48Julian!
01:11:48This is ridiculous!
01:11:51You can't just throw money around and control everything!
01:11:55Watch me.
01:11:56So what's it going to be, Daisy?
01:12:00You coming back with me?
01:12:02Or do I carry you out of here myself?
01:12:06You are unbelievable.
01:12:08If that's what it takes to keep you here, I'll take it.
01:12:14Daisy, I think you're forgetting something you signed when you joined the company.
01:12:17What are you talking about?
01:12:19Clause 12.
01:12:20If a senior manager quits without completing a proper handover, they owe ten times their
01:12:24total salary from the past three years.
01:12:26That's five million dollars.
01:12:28So are you cutting a check or coming back to work?
01:12:32Five million?
01:12:33Julian, that's ridiculous!
01:12:34This is straight up extortion!
01:12:35Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?
01:12:38Then I guess you don't have much of a choice.
01:12:40Come back and do your job.
01:12:46Perfect timing.
01:12:47The annual team retreat still needs someone to run it.
01:12:50I'm not doing it.
01:12:51Find someone else.
01:12:52It's in the Hamptons.
01:12:54The one thing everyone's been looking forward to all year.
01:12:56If you screw this up or try to run again, that penalty won't stay at five million.
01:13:01What do you actually want from me, Julian?
01:13:03I want you where I can see you.
01:13:05Focus on the retreat.
01:13:07That's your only job right now.
01:13:09Oh my god, the Hamptons?
01:13:11That's Luxury Central.
01:13:12Daisy, you have to nail this.
01:13:14Our entire company trip is riding on you.
01:13:16But seriously, you should have seen the boss that day.
01:13:19When he found out you missed your flight and were at the bus station, that look on his face, wow.
01:13:23He was worried I'd disappear and leave him stuck with the penalty.
01:13:26Oh please.
01:13:28He was so freaked out his tie was practically falling off.
01:13:30I've known Julian Sterling for years.
01:13:32I've never seen him that out of control.
01:13:34Chloe, there's a chain of command here.
01:13:36He's just protecting the company's interests.
01:13:38You're reading too much into it.
01:13:40Sure, sure.
01:13:41Company interests.
01:13:42Well then, Manager Daisy, we're all counting on you to take us to the Hamptons and treat us right.
01:13:53Daisy, look at this.
01:13:54This is literally like something out of a movie.
01:13:56The boss really went all in this time.
01:13:58I swear, this feels unreal.
01:14:00Yeah, it's gorgeous.
01:14:04Alright everyone, grab your keys based on your assigned pairs.
01:14:08Two per room.
01:14:09Drop your bags and meet back in the lobby in 30 minutes.
01:14:14Daisy, come on.
01:14:15Second floor, garden view.
01:14:18Uh, Daisy, sorry.
01:14:19There's been a bit of a system glitch.
01:14:21Room 204 is already full.
01:14:22Chloe, you'll need to switch rooms.
01:14:24That doesn't make any sense.
01:14:25We're all accounted for.
01:14:26How is it full?
01:14:26So where am I staying?
01:14:27Well, since you're leading the retreat,
01:14:29Mr. Sterling figured you might need flexibility and comes up.
01:14:31He arranged.
01:14:31So he an executive suite for you.
01:14:33Top floor.
01:14:33Wait, seriously?
01:14:34The top floor suite?
01:14:36Marcus, you sure this is a system glitch?
01:14:40100%.
01:14:41Total system issue.
01:14:42Room 501.
01:14:43Best view in the whole place.
01:14:48So, how do you like this system glitch?
01:14:50Julian, I knew this was you.
01:14:52I'm switching rooms, even if I have to sleep on a couch.
01:14:54Not happening.
01:14:55Didn't Marcus tell you?
01:14:56Every room's taken.
01:14:57Even the attic's full.
01:14:58House Kemper's using it.
01:14:59This is insane.
01:15:00You can't just trap me here.
01:15:01It's called a couple's retreat.
01:15:03Don't forget, you're still an employee at Sterling Group.
01:15:05And legally, still my wife.
01:15:07While we're in the Hamptons, you stay with me.
01:15:10You better hope nothing goes wrong these next few days, Julian.
01:15:16Okay, just sitting around eating is boring.
01:15:18Let's play a little game.
01:15:19How about it?
01:15:20Pair up, and the losers get a penalty.
01:15:25Oh, no, you don't.
01:15:26You're not leaving.
01:15:27All right, who wants to team up with Daisy?
01:15:43Whoa, whoa.
01:15:45I've got her.
01:15:48Julian, are you serious?
01:15:49Everyone's watching.
01:15:50I'm setting the tone.
01:15:52Don't bail on me now.
01:16:23Bring out the priciest wine, my treat tonight.
01:16:34Oh, my God.
01:16:35That was everything.
01:16:36This is blowing up for sure.
01:16:37Chloe, don't post that.
01:16:40Go ahead.
01:16:41Let the whole company see who Mrs. Sterling really is.
01:16:50Daisy Miller, you'll see.
01:16:53Julian is mine.
01:16:54No one takes him from me.
01:16:56I'll make you regret ever crossing me.
01:17:01You called from Miss Victoria?
01:17:02Silas.
01:17:04Last I heard, you got kicked out for stealing from my family.
01:17:07Still employed?
01:17:08I didn't exactly have options back then.
01:17:11There's a hundred thousand on that.
01:17:12I've got a job for you.
01:17:15Head to the Hamptons.
01:17:16Get some photos of Daisy.
01:17:17I want to ruin her.
01:17:18I need Julian to see exactly what kind of woman he's been so obsessed with.
01:17:22Ruining a woman's reputation?
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:25I'm very good at that.
01:17:31There you are.
01:17:32Julian's been looking everywhere for you.
01:17:34You're really hiding out here?
01:17:35It's just been a lot.
01:17:37My head's all over the place.
01:17:39Chloe, I'm going to head to the hot springs out back.
01:17:40I need some quiet.
01:17:41Don't tell him where I am, okay?
01:17:42Got it.
01:17:43You're alone time.
01:17:44Go soak.
01:17:45Relax.
01:17:45Get yourself all nice and refreshed.
01:17:48Pretty sure Julian's losing it waiting for you.
01:17:55Who's there?
01:18:06Who are you?
01:18:07What do you want?
01:18:08Too bad you crossed the wrong guy.
01:18:10My client wants you destroyed.
01:18:13Who sent you?
01:18:15Victoria, right?
01:18:16Don't flatter yourself.
01:18:18In this city, plenty of people would love to watch you crash and burn.
01:18:23Let's make this interesting.
01:18:25When Julian Stanley sees his perfect wife begging in front of another man,
01:18:28you really think he'll still put you on a pedestal?
01:18:31How much did they pay you?
01:18:33I'll double it.
01:18:34Double?
01:18:37I'm Julian Sturtling's wife.
01:18:39Legally.
01:18:40Let me go, and I won't press charges.
01:18:43I can make sure you walk away with more money than you'll ever need.
01:18:49Save it.
01:18:50I want cash.
01:18:51Up front.
01:18:52Once I get what I need, I get paid.
01:18:54That's the deal.
01:18:56Help!
01:18:56Julian!
01:18:57Help me!
01:19:03Sir.
01:19:04Found something.
01:19:06Chloe said Daisy went to the hot springs half an hour ago,
01:19:08but when I got there, no one was there.
01:19:10These were in the bushes by the pool.
01:19:12Damn it.
01:19:13Something's wrong.
01:19:14Lock down the estate.
01:19:15No one in.
01:19:16No one out.
01:19:16Get security.
01:19:18Search every room.
01:19:18I don't care how.
01:19:19Tear this place apart if you have to.
01:19:20Find her.
01:19:21Now!
01:19:30You think you can touch her?
01:19:32Sir, we've got this.
01:19:36I'm here.
01:19:37It's okay.
01:19:38I'm sorry, Daisy.
01:19:40I'm so sorry.
01:19:41Take him.
01:19:42Make sure he remembers what happens when you go after what's mine.
01:19:46Julian, please, save the baby.
01:19:49I hit my stomach earlier.
01:19:51It hurt so bad.
01:19:53The baby?
01:19:54Daisy, what are you saying?
01:19:55I'm pregnant.
01:19:56About a month.
01:19:58Please don't let anything happen to him.
01:20:01Marcus!
01:20:02Get a doctor!
01:20:03Now!
01:20:03I don't care who you call.
01:20:04Just get the best one here!
01:20:06Now!
01:20:08Doctor, my baby, is it okay?
01:20:11Miss Daisy, I've run the exam a few times.
01:20:15You're not pregnant.
01:20:17No, that's not possible.
01:20:20I saw it.
01:20:20Two lines, clear as day.
01:20:22False positives happen, especially if the test is expired or wasn't stored properly.
01:20:27As for your symptoms, nausea, discomfort, that's most likely severe gastric spesums made worse by stress.
01:20:36Why didn't you tell me you were really going to leave without saying anything?
01:20:40I didn't know how.
01:20:42Didn't know how?
01:20:43Daisy, I'm your husband.
01:20:44What were you afraid of?
01:20:46I thought you'd make me get rid of it.
01:20:48Why would I ever do that?
01:20:49Because I heard you.
01:20:52You told Marcus, unless it's with the woman you actually love, you'd never let anyone have your child.
01:20:56There's someone in your heart, Julian.
01:20:57There always has been.
01:20:59And me, I'm just the contract wife.
01:21:01I figured if I kept the baby, you'd think I was crossing a line.
01:21:04Like I was tinting the Sterling name.
01:21:07Daisy, you really don't get it, do you?
01:21:09What?
01:21:10The person I've loved this whole time, it's you.
01:21:12It's always been you.
01:21:14But three years ago, you said someone saved you.
01:21:16Yeah, three years ago.
01:21:18Kentucky.
01:21:19That snowstorm.
01:21:20The girl who pulled me out of the wreck.
01:21:21Who stopped the bleeding.
01:21:22That was you.
01:21:23I didn't even see your face.
01:21:25I was just trying to help.
01:21:26I've been looking for you ever since.
01:21:29That's why I turned down my grandfather's arrangement.
01:21:32And Victoria, I only kept her around because of history.
01:21:35That's it.
01:21:35I never loved her.
01:21:36Daisy, it's always been you.
01:21:42Sir, Silas talked.
01:21:45Victoria paid him $100,000.
01:21:47She told him to kidnap Miss Daisy and take embarrassing photos of her.
01:21:52She wanted you to turn against her completely.
01:21:55So, she wants to play games.
01:21:57Fine.
01:21:58Change the entire closing event.
01:22:00Should I call the police?
01:22:02No.
01:22:02That's too easy.
01:22:04I want her to ruin herself in front of everyone that matters.
01:22:08Get the car.
01:22:09I'm going to visit Miss Victoria.
01:22:12Let's see how fragile she really is.
01:22:18Julian?
01:22:19You finally came.
01:22:20I thought you'd forgotten all about me.
01:22:23Don't mention her.
01:22:24Victoria, I figured things out.
01:22:28Daisy really let me down.
01:22:30The whole thing with Silas blew up.
01:22:32Turns out she was just unlike him.
01:22:33I'm done with her.
01:22:34She already signed the divorce paper.
01:22:35What?
01:22:35I knew it.
01:22:37There was always something off about her.
01:22:39No way she got close to you with good intentions.
01:22:41You've been by my side all these years.
01:22:43And I never really appreciated that.
01:22:45Victoria, you're the one who truly belongs with the Sterling family.
01:22:50Tomorrow night at the company retreat closing ceremony, I've got something big planned.
01:22:53A proposal.
01:22:54In front of everyone.
01:22:54The whole company.
01:22:55The press.
01:22:56I want to make it right.
01:22:56You'll be there, won't you?
01:22:58You're serious?
01:22:59Completely.
01:23:02Get some rest, my future fiance.
01:23:07I'll see you tomorrow.
01:23:19Ha!
01:23:20Daisy Miller, you finally lost.
01:23:23Julia is mine, and that Sterling name?
01:23:26Mine too.
01:23:28Lucy, I need that Dior Costor piece, the one worth a million, sent over ASAP.
01:23:33Tomorrow night, I'm going to be the most dazzling woman in all of New York.
01:23:37Enjoy it while you can, Victoria.
01:23:39Tomorrow's when your nightmare begins.
01:23:41Wait, why is Victoria here?
01:23:43Didn't she get fired?
01:23:43Yeah, for a pretty bad screw-up too.
01:23:45And she still shows up dressed like that?
01:23:46Wow.
01:23:47Go ahead, stare.
01:23:48Jealous already?
01:23:49Cute.
01:23:49Just wait till Julian proposes, then we'll see who's looking up to who.
01:24:04Are you kidding me?
01:24:05She looks insane in a good way?
01:24:08No, no, seriously, she owns this night!
01:24:11That's unreal.
01:24:12I've never heard anything like that lie.
01:24:24Daisy Miller?
01:24:26What the hell is she doing here?
01:24:28Simus was supposed to...
01:24:36She's incredible, isn't she?
01:24:51Thanks for coming out tonight for Sterling Group's annual retreat.
01:24:56There's someone I want you all to meet.
01:25:00My wife, Daisy Sterling.
01:25:04I knew it!
01:25:06I swear!
01:25:06I knew it this whole time!
01:25:07Daisy is the Mrs. Sterling!
01:25:09Truth is, we were already married before she ever joined the company.
01:25:13Aww!
01:25:17It started as a contract.
01:25:19That's all it was supposed to be.
01:25:21Didn't really go according to plan.
01:25:24Somewhere along the way, I fell for her.
01:25:27Hard.
01:25:28She's strong, she's talented, and she's just a genuinely good person.
01:25:33Didn't stand a chance.
01:25:34I screwed up once, I let her go.
01:25:36That's not happening again.
01:25:38So let me make this clear.
01:25:42Daisy is my wife.
01:25:44The only one.
01:25:55The only one.
01:25:58No, no, this can't be happening.
01:26:02Julian, you said, you told me.
01:26:14Julian, why are you doing this to me?
01:26:18She's not worth it.
01:26:19You shouldn't love her.
01:26:20You can't love her.
01:26:23Victoria, I gave you more chances than you deserved.
01:26:26For your family's sake, for old time's sake, I was willing to just send you out of New York, let
01:26:30you disappear quietly.
01:26:31But you crossed the line.
01:26:32You hired someone to kidnap Daisy and tried to destroy her, ruin her.
01:26:36No, I didn't.
01:26:36That's a lie.
01:26:37They set me up.
01:26:38She set me up.
01:26:39Daisy did this.
01:26:39Set you up?
01:26:40Marcus, show her.
01:26:42Show everyone what she did.
01:26:44Victoria Vance paid me a hundred grand.
01:26:47Told me to drug Daisy and take photos of her.
01:26:49Ugly ones.
01:26:51Said she wanted Julian to turn on her, ruin her reputation for good.
01:26:58Toria Vance, you're under arrest for conspiracy to commit assault, kidnapping, and malicious framing.
01:27:03You'll need to come with us.
01:27:04No, let me go.
01:27:05I'm a Vance.
01:27:06Do you know who I am?
01:27:07Julian, please help me.
01:27:09You can't let them take me.
01:27:10I love you.
01:27:13It's over, Daisy.
01:27:15It's all over.
01:27:16No one's ever going to hurt you again.
01:27:18I promise.
01:27:21Tonight wasn't just about taking out the trash.
01:27:23I've also got a business decision to announce.
01:27:25As of right now, Sterling Group is cutting all financial ties with the Vance family.
01:27:29No more partnerships, no more deals.
01:27:30In Manhattan, they're done.
01:27:31Permanently blacklisted.
01:27:32And to celebrate finding my wife, again, I thank all of you for your hard work.
01:27:35It comes getting two days off, fully paid.
01:27:36And this whole resort, that's on me.
01:27:38Let's go.
01:27:39Best boss ever, Mrs. Sterling.
01:27:42Julian, this doesn't even feel real.
01:27:45It is.
01:27:46From the moment you pulled me out of that wreck three years ago, you became the only miracle I've ever
01:27:50had.
01:27:57Julian, does it really not bother you that I'm just a girl from Kentucky who used to clean offices?
01:28:03Just a cleaning girl?
01:28:04That's funny.
01:28:05I remember marrying a violinist who could bring Lincoln Center to its knees.
01:28:08Well, I did pay you back that $100,000 contract fee.
01:28:11Yeah.
01:28:12And in return, you took my whole heart.
01:28:17Manhattan's huge, but my world, it's just you.
01:28:21I'm just a kid.
01:28:51You
