Short filmTranscript
00:01Ryan, I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
00:08Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
00:12Out here all by yourself? I would have thought you're the sick one.
00:16I'd worry about myself if I was the bastard kid.
00:20We're really not that close, sweetheart.
00:23Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
00:27Do it!
00:30Your family owns like half of New York.
00:34I love Maddie, but for Iris, I am eventually not able to hate her.
00:40She is actually special.
00:43He's the one.
00:55I've made my decision.
00:56I'll marry the comatose Colonel from the Archibald family.
01:02That's wonderful. You've finally come to your senses.
01:06The Archibalds have been pushing hard.
01:08They expect you to move into their Florida state within two weeks.
01:11Tell me, what kind of wedding dress do you want?
01:13I can have designers from Paris or Milan flown in.
01:16Since I'm taking your precious little love child's place,
01:19the least you can do is make it worth my while.
01:24Watch your mouth. She's your sister.
01:27Sister? My mother only had one daughter.
01:30She's not my sister.
01:32She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
01:37Cut that childish crap and just tell me, what do you want?
01:41I want...
01:43Ten billion.
01:46Ten billion?!
01:57You know, that would drain the entire family trust.
02:03One more thing.
02:05Once I'm married, have Ryan reassigned to babysit your precious love child.
02:09Ryan? The man you were ready to marry?
02:12I thought you'd take him with you to the Archibald estate.
02:15Just say yes or no, Dad.
02:17Two years ago, Liam Archibald was a rising star.
02:21The youngest Colonel in history.
02:23I pulled every string to get Madison to agree to marry him.
02:26Thought I'd set her up for life.
02:28Then he gets himself blown up and ends up all comatose.
02:32Lucky for me, I've got another daughter.
02:34If you marry him instead, Madison gets another chance.
02:38Fine.
02:39You go through with the marriage and I'll make both things happen.
02:43Wait!
02:44I understand why you'd want the money.
02:48But you love Ryan.
02:50How can you just hand him over to Madison?
03:02I love you so much, Maddie.
03:04You asked why I could hand him over.
03:07Because he's just like you, Daddy.
03:09He only ever loved Madison.
03:14Ryan.
03:16I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
03:30Everyone else?
03:34Shirt's off!
03:37Muscles mean nothing.
03:39I need someone who can actually fight.
03:48that's it he's the one
03:53ryan my heel broke can you carry me back to my room i'll grab you a new pair

16:10i don't know
16:12watch out
16:15maddie look out
16:40Ryan, you were supposed to protect Iris, not me.
16:44This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gone with you.
16:48Hey, stop. This was my call. If it happened a hundred times over, you'd still come first.
16:59Why?
17:01Because I'm in love with you.
17:18Iris, thank god. Are you okay?
17:24Does it still hurt? It's all my fault.
17:27Get your hands off me. I'll be okay as soon as you get out of my sight.
17:33I was just trying to help. How can you say that?
17:36It was my fault. I didn't react fast enough. Don't blame Madison. I promise it won't happen again.
17:45Damn right it won't happen again. I won't give you a chance to hurt me again.
17:57Miss Iris, what do you need?
18:01You're my bodyguard. You failed. I'm going to punish you. Any objections?
18:08The Vanderbilt heir, born into the richest family in the country, with a world at his feet and a throne
18:12carved in gold.
18:14I bet no one has ever dared to lay a finger on you.
18:17Today, he learns what it feels like to bleed for a change.
18:20Go on, Ryan. Walk away. But you won't, will you?
18:25You'll stay. Just to stay close to her.
18:28No objections.
18:30Take your clothes off.
18:43Iris, stop it. If someone has to pay for what happened, punish me. Leave Ryan out of it.
18:49Move! Now! You got hurt because of me. If you need someone to blame, it's me.
18:54No, this isn't on you. It was my decision.
18:59Get Madison out of my way. Do it.
19:17Maddie, hey. Look at me. You okay?
19:21It's so, so cold.
19:25Fuck! Just get out! Get out!
19:36Once I moved to Florida, no more snow.
19:41Not like this hellhole ever gave me anything to miss.
20:05Help! Help! Help! Somebody, please, let me out!
20:12Help! Help! Somebody, please, let me out!
20:14You should have known better than to piss off the wrong people.
20:17Help!
20:19Help!
20:28Help!
20:32Help!
20:34Help!
20:36Help!
20:37Help!
20:38Help!
20:38Who... who would do this to me?
20:45She's been in there two hours, sir.
20:49At this temp, she won't last much longer.
20:52Get her to a hospital.
20:55Ryan. It was Ryan.
20:58He almost freezes me to death in here.
21:00Just because I spilled a little water on his precious Madison?
21:10You see the guy in the room across the hall?
21:12Movie star looks.
21:14Won't leave his girlfriend's side.
21:16Yeah, over a cold, too.
21:18Some guys are just built different.
21:20Meanwhile, this poor girl just got out of the ICU.
21:23Not a single visitor.
21:38I swore I was done with him.
21:41So why does it still hurt like hell?
21:51No more crying, Iris.
21:54No one's coming for you.
21:56You have to save yourself.
22:02Mommy! Mommy!
22:05Iris! Ryan, you made it!
22:08Come on, we're about to cut the cake!
22:15Mads, this party's like a billionaire safari.
22:18And everyone is hunting you.
22:22But aren't you, like, engaged to that Archibald heir down in Florida?
22:26That's totally over.
22:28I don't do long-term comas.
22:30Good call.
22:31The Archibalds might run Washington and Wall Street,
22:33but that heir is basically a houseplant.
22:35Marrying him is like skipping straight into widowhood.
22:39Exactly.
22:39Better pick someone from tonight's crowd.
22:41There are billionaires here who can actually blink.
22:44So, Mads, what's your type?
22:47My type?
22:48Hmm.
22:49First, he has to be obsessed with me.
22:51I want a guy who'd carve my name into his chest just to prove it.
22:55And he has to swim the darkest parts of the Atlantic to find me the perfect pearl.
23:01Mr. Vanderbilt is here with his birthday gift for Miss Madison and Connor.
23:11Happy birthday, Miss Iris.
23:24Iris.
23:28Maddie's been crying to me again.
23:30Says you've been ignoring her.
23:32Tomorrow's her birthday party.
23:34I want you to get her something nice.
23:36Make peace.
23:38I've got plans tomorrow.
23:40Drop the attitude.
23:41This might be the last birthday you spend with her.
23:44Once you marry an...
23:47What do you think, Ryan?
23:48Should I go?
23:49You should.
23:52Okay, then.
23:54Maddie's birthday it is.
24:02To Mom and Dad, thank you for always being my biggest supporters.
24:07And to everyone here, thanks for celebrating another trip around the sun with me.
24:13Cheers!
24:14Cheers!
24:16My beautiful girl.
24:18A year older.
24:20Somehow you just keep getting brighter.
24:23You'll always be our pride and joy, sweetheart.
24:32My baby girl is turning six.
24:35She deserves the biggest party in the city.
24:38Nothing less.
24:39You're the best, Daddy.
24:41And what about Mommy?
24:43Mommy's the best, too.
24:51When you asked me to marry you, you swore you'd never betray me.
24:55And now, on our daughter's birthday, you waltz in with your mistress and your bastard child?
25:01Ruth, I know you hate me.
25:03But please, don't take it out on my daughter.
25:06She's just a child.
25:08I'm filing for a divorce.
25:10I'm marrying Victoria.
25:16Mommy!
25:18Mommy!
25:19Mommy!
25:22Mommy!
25:23Mommy!
25:27A pink diamond necklace, emerald drop earrings, and an original Andy Warhol.
25:35Oh my god, that's authentic pink diamond, worth tens of millions.
25:40And those emeralds, definitely from one of the old Italian jewelry houses.
25:45Totally museum level.
25:47All this from Mr. Vanderbilt?
25:50That's not gifting.
25:51That's a public love confession.
25:53Please, thank Mr. Vanderbilt for me.
25:57Mr. Vanderbilt said, you never need to thank him.
26:00Ever.
26:04Oh my god.
26:06Such extravagant gifts.
26:09It's obvious he adores her.
26:11Exactly.
26:12Once the party's over, I'll take Madison to thank him in person.
26:16No need, Mr. Carter.
26:18We're practically family already.
26:23Family?
26:24Did he just say family?
26:25That sounds like an engagement to me.
26:27Madison is living every girl's dream.
26:29Everyone loves her.
26:31Poor Iris.
26:32She might as well be invisible.
26:52Out here all by yourself?
26:54You look so lonely.
26:56What's wrong?
26:57Daddy's not around to watch your halo glow?
26:59Daddy already told me, you're actually marrying that human vegetable?
27:04How poetic.
27:06Your mom lost to mine, and now you're losing to me.
27:09Guess the loser genes runs in the family.
27:13Say that again.
27:15I said, your worthless mother deserved to die in childbirth.
27:24What are you doing?
27:28Iris, no, don't.
27:51You okay?
27:52Don't blame Iris.
27:53Iris, it's my fault.
27:59I shouldn't have upset her.
28:09Sweetheart, are you hurt?
28:14I'm fine.
28:15If hurting me makes Iris feel better, I don't mind it.
28:20Is this how I raised you?
28:22She's your sister, not your punching bag.
28:25God, what a heartless bitch.
28:28It's Madison's birthday, for Christ's sake.
28:30Jealousy really looks ugly on her.
28:34Funny thing is, I didn't push her.
28:37But since everyone already decided I did...
28:46I'll prove you right.
28:53I can't believe I raised something this vile.
29:06Iris!
29:08What?
29:09Gonna avenge your little princess again?
29:12What the hell does that mean?
29:14Does she know?
29:15No way.
29:16I covered my tracks.
29:19You already do it all, Iris.
29:21Why keep picking on Madison?
29:26Have it all?
29:29I have nothing!
29:34The day showed up.
29:37My mom went into obstructed labor and died.
29:42Then, she took everything from me.
29:45My room, my jewelry, my father, my life.
29:50She used to light fires just to watch me scream,
29:53knowing how much I'm afraid of it.
29:57That's impossible.
29:59Madison's the one who's afraid of fire.
30:10Also, I heard Maddie's the one who's having a hard time in this house.
30:20Believe whatever you want.
30:25Miss Iris,
30:27I would like to take a few days off.
30:31Do whatever you want.
30:59I want a guy who'd tattoo my name
31:03into his chest.
31:12And the pearl.
31:14She wants the pearl from Atlantic reefs.
31:17I have to get it for her.
31:25Bleeding, half delirious,
31:27and already running off to make her dreams come true.
31:30You'd really die for her.
31:35Mom,
31:37I brought your favorite roses.
31:40And some good news.
31:43I'm getting married
31:44to Colonel Archibald.
31:50Although he's comatose.
31:52At least he'll never cheat.
31:57And that bodyguard I told you about?
31:59I'm done with him.
32:01I'll leave for Florida tomorrow
32:03and hand him over to Madison.
32:06This time,
32:07I'm not looking back.
32:09You can rest easy, Mom.
32:12I learned your lesson.
32:15Love isn't worth dying for.
32:18From now on,
32:20I'm done breaking for anyone.
32:23I live for me.
32:48Miss Iris,
32:50I got into a car accident
32:51and on the way here.
32:54I'll need a few more days off.
32:58Car accident?
33:00No.
33:01You actually dove into the reefs
33:03for Madison's stupid pearl
33:04and nearly killed yourself.
33:08Do whatever you want.
33:11Thank you
33:12for understanding.
33:18Ryan,
33:19after today,
33:21we'll never see each other again.
33:39Evening, sir.
33:40Which suite is Miss Iris in?
33:41Second floor.
33:42The VIP room is just down the hall.
33:45Thanks.
33:50To bad decisions
33:51and men who can't afford us.
33:57So,
33:58that white pearl,
33:59is it really that rare?
34:03Duh.
34:04It's from one of the deadliest reefs
34:06in the Atlantic.
34:07Even pro divers
34:08wouldn't go near it.
34:09And Ryan really risked
34:11his life to get it?
34:13That's insane.
34:17Didn't he tattoo your name
34:18on his chest
34:19right after the party
34:20if he brings you
34:21that pearl too?
34:22He's basically
34:23your fiancée.
34:30Fiancée?
34:31Please,
34:31he's a friggin' bodyguard.
34:33A minion.
34:36Anyway,
34:38Vanderbilt's in my orbit now.
34:40He's the one who matters.
34:43Heir to the richest family
34:44in America.
34:45Ryan's just
34:46nice to look at.
34:48I might keep him around
34:49in case I'm bored.
34:50What if he finds out?
34:52What's a little minion
34:53gonna do?
34:55He's worships me.
34:56A few tears
34:57and he'll just
34:58crawl right back.
35:09Jesus,
35:10ever heard of knocking,
35:11you fucking idiot?
35:12Do you know who I am?
35:14I'm so sorry,
35:15Miss Madison.
35:15Truly.
35:16It's just,
35:17there's a gentleman
35:18over there asking for you.
35:19He said it was urgent.
35:21Sir,
