00:00Mr. Gray, we'll see you now.
00:01May I help you?
00:01Okay.
00:03This way, please.
00:04Okay.
00:04Mr. Gray has a conference call at 1115.
00:16Right this way.
00:25Ms. Calvin.
00:28Are you all right?
00:32Christian Gray.
00:34I'm Anastasia Steele.
00:37Um, Ms. Cavanaugh has the flu, so she asked me to fill in.
00:40I see.
00:41So you're studying journalism as well?
00:43No, English Lit.
00:46Um, Kate's my roommate.
00:49As I said, I only have ten minutes.
00:51Please, have a seat, Ms. Steele.
01:24Ready?
01:26Whenever you are.
01:28I... Okay.
01:29Um, so this is for the special graduation issue
01:33of the student newspaper?
01:34Yes. I'm giving the commencement address
01:36at this year's ceremony.
01:37You are?
01:40I mean, um...
01:43I know.
01:47Uh, you are very young to have amassed such an empire.
01:51To what do you owe your...
01:52To what do I owe my success?
01:54Yep.
01:56Seriously?
01:57Yes.
02:01Business is about people.
02:03And I've always been good at people.
02:06What motivates them, what incentivizes them,
02:09what inspires them.
02:11Well, maybe you're just lucky.
02:16I've always found that the harder I work,
02:18the more luck I seem to have.
02:21The key to my success has been in identifying talented individuals
02:24and harnessing their efforts.
02:27So you're a control freak?
02:28Oh, I exercise control in all things, Miss Steele.
02:36Okay, um...
02:37Uh, your company is involved primarily in the telecommunications sector.
02:42Yet, you also invest in numerous agricultural projects,
02:46including several in Africa.
02:48Is that something that you feel passionate about?
02:50Feeding the world's poor?
02:52It's smart business.
02:56You don't agree?
03:00I don't know enough about it.
03:06I just wonder if perhaps your heart might be a bit bigger
03:11than you want to let on.
03:14There's some people who say that I don't have a heart at all.
03:17Why would they say that?
03:18Because they know me well.
03:22Go on.
03:26Um, do you have any interests outside of work?
03:29I enjoy various physical pursuits.
03:32You're unmarried.
03:33Oh, you were adopted at age four.
03:37It's a matter of public record.
03:39I'm sorry, I didn't... I didn't...
03:42Do you have an actual question, Miss Steele?
03:46Yeah, sorry.
03:49Are you gay?
03:56It's written here, I'm just...
03:59No, Anastasia.
04:01I'm not gay.
04:03I apologize, Mr. Gray. Kate can be a little...
04:07Intrusive?
04:10Curious?
04:17What about you?
04:22Why don't you ask me something that you want to know?
04:29Earlier you said that there are some people who know you well.
04:35Why do I get the feeling that that is not true?
04:41Mr. Gray, your next meeting is in the conference room.
04:43Cancel, please. We're not finished here.
04:45Yes, sir.
04:47No, I-I'm... I can go. It's fine.
04:50I would like to know more about you.
04:55There's really not much to know about me.
04:57You said you were an English major?
04:59Tell me, was it Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, or Thomas Hardy, who first made you fall in love with literature?
05:08Hardy.
05:12I would have guessed Jane Austen.
05:16What are your plans after you graduate?
05:18I'm just trying to get through finals right now.
05:21And then?
05:22And then I was planning on moving here, to Seattle, with Kate.
05:26We offer an excellent internship program.
05:32I don't think I'd fit in here.
05:39Look at me.
05:42I am.
05:48I hope you got everything you needed.
05:50I-I think you only answered four questions.
06:01Anastasia.
06:03Christian.
06:16Where the f*** have you been?
06:21I told you to come straight here.
06:23I've had people out combing the streets looking for you.
06:26I'm sorry I don't always do as I'm told.
06:28Maybe you just really need someone who obeys every command.
06:32Don't be ridiculous.
06:34I saw you, Christian.
06:35I saw the way you were with Leela.
06:38She had a gun, Anna.
06:40I would have done anything to subdue her.
06:43Where is she now?
06:45Is she here?
06:46What?
06:48No, of course not.
06:49She's in the psych ward getting the help that she needs.
06:54Look.
06:56I know she scared you.
06:57Yeah, she scared me.
07:00But you scared me more.
07:03Seeing you like that with her.
07:06I'll never be able to give you that kind of submission and obedience.
07:12Anna.
07:13Don't crowd me.
07:15I need space.
07:16No, please don't do that.
07:17Christian.
07:17Don't give up on me.
07:18I just need to think a little bit.
07:21Don't leave me.
07:26What are you doing?
07:29Get up.
07:33What are you doing?
07:35Look at me.
07:38Look at me.
07:46I'm scared.
07:47I'm scared.
07:52I know you say that I'm enough.
07:57But there are certain things that you are used to getting that I will never, ever, ever be able to
08:03give you.
08:07And it might be fine for right now, but what's going to happen when you start needing them again?
08:13I won't.
08:14How do you know that?
08:16How can I believe you?
08:17I don't even understand your need to dominate.
08:20It doesn't-
08:20I'm not a dominant.
08:22I'm not.
08:22I-
08:24The right term is a sadist.
08:27I get off punishing women.
08:29Women who look like you and-
08:30Like your mother.
08:33Yes.
08:34And I know how fucked up that is.
08:38When you left, I swore that I would stop it if that's what it took to get you back.
08:45But I am done with it.
08:48You mean more to me than anything else.
08:54I want to believe you.
08:56I do.
08:57But I can't.
08:58I-
08:58Give me your hand.
09:03Give me your hand.
09:04This is me.
09:06All of me.
09:08Christian.
09:10I'm all yours.
09:31Is that right?
09:33Yeah.
09:39Brendan.
09:40Morning, Miss Steele.
09:41What's back to Steele?
09:42Hey.
09:59Anna.
10:00Nice of you to join us.
10:02Hi, Liz.
10:03Am I in the right office?
10:05We had a makeover.
10:06Mr. Roach wanted to welcome the new fiction editor.
10:09Who's the new fiction editor?
10:11You are.
10:13You got a promotion.
10:16I got a promotion?
10:18And you weren't even here.
10:20Anna!
10:21Hi, Hannah.
10:22Hi.
10:23Hi.
10:24Hi.
10:25Welcome back.
10:27How do you like the new digs?
10:28Amazing.
10:29I'm going to let you get settled in.
10:30And Anna, good luck.
10:31Not that you mean it.
10:35So, who is that beautiful man?
10:38Oh, that's Sawyer, my personal security.
10:42I know.
10:43It's very, very fancy.
10:45Um, can we find a spot for him?
10:48I might have an opening.
10:50Hannah!
10:52Down, girl.
10:53Uh, everything's in relatively the same spot.
10:55Oh, and I asked IT to change your email.
10:58Because I still have you as Anna Steele instead of Anna Gray.
11:01Oh.
11:04Um, let's just leave it for a while.
11:06Done.
11:07And Boyce Fox is in town.
11:09I have penciled them in for 11.
11:11Awesome.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Thanks, Hannah.
11:31This is amazing, Anna.
11:33I can't thank you enough.
11:34Well, you did the work.
11:36Now, when am I going to see pages for book two?
11:39Already.
11:40Um, well, I've written three chapters so far.
11:44Christian.
11:45Um, Boyce, this is my husband.
11:46Christian Gray.
11:47Christian, this is Boyce Fox.
11:49Pleasure to meet you.
11:50Absolutely.
11:51Do you mind?
11:52I need a word with Ms. Steele here.
11:53Uh, no.
11:54Actually, no.
11:55We're not, we're not finished.
11:57Uh, you know what?
11:58I'm just gonna grab a coffee real quick.
11:59It's nice to meet you.
12:05Good looking guy.
12:07Seriously, Christian?
12:09You're vetting my authors now?
12:13I tried emailing you, it bounced.
12:16There's no Anastasia Gray at SIP.
12:20I know.
12:22Anna Steele is the name I use at work.
12:24And I know you're gonna say I don't need to work,
12:26but I can't stay home and, and do lunches and choose wallpaper.
12:30I would lose my mind.
12:32I work because I love my job.
12:35Understood.
12:37But you can't love it as Anna Gray?
12:39I need to have my own identity here.
12:42People already think I got to where I am because of you.
12:45But you didn't.
12:45You got this through hard work and talent.
12:50Why does it matter what you call yourself?
12:52Who gives a shit what people think?
12:53Well, apparently you do.
12:56Would you change your name for me?
12:59Yes.
13:00I haven't meant that much to you.
13:03Okay.
13:05I'll think about it.
13:06You will?
13:08Yeah.
13:10That's how this works.
13:12Remember?
13:14Talk, listen.
13:16Work stuff out.
13:18No, get lost.
13:20I gotta find my author.
13:21And you need to shave.
13:27I'll pick you up a five.
13:30I might not be done by then.
13:32My boss's boss's boss is kind of a pain in the ass.
13:36But I was mad.
13:38Don't sounds stupid.
13:39Yeah.
13:56Which manera is to have my wife
13:56And it's all they reason
13:56Not, I'm ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ but I know this,
13:58Not, and I don't like.
