Short filmTranscript
00:00:00When the biological daughter of the Dawson's fled her engagement party, I, the adopted orphan, stepped in her place.
00:00:09I know this wedding means everything to the family, but I am truly in love with Mike. I can't marry
00:00:16Sinclair.
00:00:18Oh.
00:00:19That ungrateful brat. Reaching this marriage contract is a ten million dollar hit. It'll bleed us dry.
00:00:26If Lily has no interest in honoring our deal, there's nothing left to discuss.
00:00:30Rachel, please, I'm begging you. You're all we have now.
00:00:38Mr. Sinclair?
00:00:50I'll marry you.
00:00:58See that? Our new calculus professor, Ethan Sinclair.
00:01:03What? Ethan Sinclair, the walking thirst trap of our school?
00:01:08He's mine, losers. No man can resist a woman like me.
00:01:13Wait. It says Professor Sinclair is engaged?
00:01:19Hang on a sec. Rachel?
00:01:21This looks just like you.
00:01:24Too bad the camera didn't catch her face.
00:01:26Are you out of your mind?
00:01:29A bankrupt family's charity case?
00:01:31My Ethan could never.
00:01:45What is wrong with you?
00:01:57Rachel?
00:01:59Are you engaged?
00:02:00Aw.
00:02:01And who's the unlucky man?
00:02:25My fiance.
00:02:27And my professor.
00:02:30Ethan Sinclair.
00:02:33My fiance.
00:02:43This is where I first saw him. Professor Sinclair. My very first day on campus.
00:02:58Come in.
00:03:05How should I address him now? Professor? Or my husband?
00:03:10I think we should discuss our marriage.
00:03:12It's like he can read my mind.
00:03:15Rachel, your sister ran away from this. Why didn't you?
00:03:20My foster parents are in a tough spot. I just want to help them out however I can.
00:03:26But you're so young.
00:03:28I'm 19. I'm a full grown woman. I'm ready to walk down the aisle.
00:03:34Look.
00:03:36Your life just started.
00:03:37You should be out there and not tied down to a marriage and everything that comes with it.
00:03:41Okay?
00:03:42That's a burden for someone my age, not yours.
00:03:47I think we should call off the engagement.
00:03:56Let's talk about this at family dinner tonight.
00:04:18Let's talk about this at family dinner tonight.
00:04:27Let's talk about this.
00:04:32Let's talk about the outspick.
00:04:42Let's talk about this.
00:05:01Today was a long day.
00:05:03You should get some sleep.
00:05:13Take a nap.
00:05:14What way can we get there?
00:05:18At least your real daughter is a dancer, instead of this charity case you're trying to pawn
00:05:24off on us, who is just skin and bones like a stray dog.
00:05:31Go ahead.
00:05:33Cancel the engagement, but at least treat my daughter with respect.
00:05:39Oh, did I strike a nerve?
00:05:44Ethan is a catch.
00:05:46He's already met his match, his childhood friend, someone worthy of the Sinclair name.
00:05:53If I were you, I would be worried about the penalty.
00:05:56The $10 million.
00:06:02Mom, I'm so sorry.
00:06:04This is all my fault.
00:06:05I promise I'll find the money for the penalty.
00:06:09No, this isn't the fault.
00:06:11I'm so tired of this video.
00:06:14Ethan, tell them that the engagement is off.
00:06:19I made up my mind.
00:06:20Rachel is going to be my wife.
00:06:21I'm marrying Rachel and I'm going to treat her with the respect she deserves.
00:06:30Rachel, what kind of wedding would you like?
00:06:37I thought he wanted to call off the engagement.
00:06:40You don't have to decide now.
00:06:42It won't be until summer break.
00:06:43We have time.
00:06:46We're family now.
00:06:48And as a gift, I'm giving you these.
00:06:51Thank God.
00:06:52So you're not here to call off the engagement.
00:06:55Are you kidding me?
00:06:57Mom, stop this.
00:06:59Ethan.
00:06:59Mom, it's been a long day, and Rachel will start, okay?
00:07:04Let's have dinner first, shall we?
00:07:12As long as my parents don't have to worry about the $10 million penalty,
00:07:16I'll do whatever it takes.
00:07:23And just like that, I became a wife to my professor.
00:07:36I heard he's a difficult man.
00:07:38Promise me that you'll tell me if he isn't treating you right.
00:07:43Mom, relax.
00:07:45He's been nothing but a gentleman.
00:07:48Rachel, I know it's not fair,
00:07:50but the future of this family depends on this marriage,
00:07:53and tonight will be your first night.
00:07:55You need to fulfill your duty as a wife.
00:07:59Duty as a wife?
00:08:08Okay, how am I supposed to do this?
00:08:11Do I kiss you first?
00:08:12Or do I wait for him to do it?
00:08:16Crap.
00:08:17I left my clothes outside.
00:08:33It's okay.
00:08:35It's okay.
00:08:39It's okay.
00:08:43Oh my god!
00:08:49I'm sorry.
00:08:50I'm mad, I'm so sorry.
00:08:55You can turn back around now, Professor Sinclair.
00:09:03We're married now, Rachel.
00:09:05You can call me Ethan.
00:09:07Ethan?
00:09:09Can we talk?
00:09:10Can we talk?
00:09:11Can we talk?
00:09:13Can we talk?
00:09:17Can I ask?
00:09:19Why didn't you end our engagement like you said you would?
00:09:22I wanted you to have a choice, Rachel.
00:09:24But if it's causing too much trouble for your family,
00:09:26then I'll keep my word.
00:09:29So he was just feeling pity for me?
00:09:31Of course.
00:09:32What was I thinking?
00:09:33He has his childhood friend waiting for him anyway.
00:09:37He's already met his match.
00:09:38He's a childhood friend.
00:09:40I mean, someone worthy of the Sinclair name.
00:09:48Can you promise me?
00:09:50Promise what?
00:09:51I know that this is just a contractual marriage,
00:09:53and I'm not going to ask you to cut ties with her,
00:09:56but please just don't bring her here.
00:09:59What?
00:10:00Where is this coming from?
00:10:02Look, my mother forced a couple dates on me.
00:10:05That's it.
00:10:07There is no her.
00:10:08I'm a busy man, okay?
00:10:10And I'm a traditional one, too.
00:10:11I chose you, Rachel.
00:10:13And I intend to keep my word to you and to this marriage.
00:10:17But you chose my sister.
00:10:22I chose you.
00:10:25And I promise.
00:10:30I'm loyal to you, and I'm loyal to this marriage.
00:10:51There.

00:16:24Your so-called fiancés made up too, isn't he?
00:16:27Pathetic, freaky fantasists.
00:16:47Oh, mystery man is finally showing up.
00:16:50Finally, we're going to have a good look at him or get the good laugh.
00:17:00Please just let it go.
00:17:01You're going to regret this.
00:17:02Tell that to yourself.
00:17:04We're going to tell him that you were masturbating to your professor's thoughts.
00:17:07Can't wait to see his face.
00:17:19What's taking him so long?
00:17:21Did he get lost on his way back from the food stamps office?
00:17:53Sorry, I'm late.
00:18:12Hey, faceless freak.
00:18:14You might want to check your wife's notebook.
00:18:16She's had her whole day drooling over her professor, Ethan Sinclair.
00:18:21Why won't you show your face?
00:18:23Because you're ugly?
00:18:28Are you deaf?
00:18:32I said your wife is...
00:18:38Professor Sinclair.
00:19:02Come on.
00:19:07Did you see his build?
00:19:09I swear, Rachel's fiancé looks exactly like Ethan Sinclair.
00:19:13Are you sure you weren't saying anything?
00:19:16I'm not positive.
00:19:17The umbrella was in the way.
00:19:18I didn't get a good look at his face.
00:19:19That's what I thought.
00:19:21There's no way Professor Sinclair could never be Rachel's fiancé.
00:19:25Are you out of your mind?
00:19:37It's about time to teach him a lesson.
00:19:42Oh, my God.
00:20:35It's just a small cut.
00:20:37I'll be fine.
00:20:39You should have told me if your classmates are giving me trouble.
00:20:42I'm not just your professor.
00:20:43I'm your husband.
00:20:46Which one are you right now?
00:20:47My professor or my husband?
00:20:50Don't ever think it, kiddo.
00:20:52I'm 19.
00:20:53Don't ever call me back.
00:21:09There.
00:21:11I'll get some rest.
00:21:16Professor Sinclair will never sleep with you.
00:21:22Is he really that bored by me?
00:21:26Wait.
00:21:28What?
00:21:33Ethan?
00:21:35I want you to look at me as your wife.
00:21:54This isn't something you rush, Rachel.
00:21:57You're doing it wrong.
00:21:59But my friend Elena says that what a man's heart is through his wallet or in this bed.
00:22:04We're husband and wife, so.
00:22:06No.
00:22:08Rachel, look at me.
00:22:09Real love is built on trust and respect.
00:22:11But you're right.
00:22:12We are husband and wife.
00:22:14And how about we do this when we're both ready?
00:22:20Then how about Saturday?
00:22:22I don't have school and you don't have work.
00:22:28It's like you can always read my mind.
00:22:39Well, looks like we have a much bigger class this semester, so I will be looking for a T.A.
00:22:49Hannah Kinsley, I volunteer.
00:22:58Of course, she's the T.A. for every male professor.
00:23:06Ms. Kinsley, the highest grade you've received since enrollment is a D.
00:23:11I'm sorry, but you don't qualify.
00:23:28The only straight-A student in my class.
00:23:30Can I count on you?
00:23:38Putnam competition is right around the corner.
00:23:40I think you've got a great shot, and it's a real good opportunity for you.
00:23:43I will.
00:23:45Thank you, E...
00:23:47Professor.
00:23:52She's so lucky.
00:23:54First of all, I'll say, and now she's Professor St. Clair's star student.
00:24:05Rachel.
00:24:06Hannah's angel is a sign of costume.
00:24:08She's a new party.
00:24:09Consider yourself inviting.
00:24:13Two invitations?
00:24:15It's couples only.
00:24:17A.K.A.
00:24:18Bring your fiancée.
00:24:24We already have plans.
00:24:26Oh, really?
00:24:28Or, here's a theory.
00:24:30Your fiancée's actually a hillbilly that you're too embarrassed to be seen with.
00:24:35You done?
00:24:35I already told you.
00:24:37We have plans.
00:24:38You've grown quite a backbone since you've gotten engaged, haven't you?
00:24:42News flash.
00:24:44My dad owns your dad.
00:24:48And if you don't bring you and your mystery man to my party tomorrow,
00:24:53your dad will be, like, so fired.
00:24:56Capisce?
00:25:12For real, a hillbilly.
00:25:15No country bunkhand could afford a ring that you.
00:25:20Rachel, I say it's time we give her a reality check.
00:25:29Substitute these expressions and neglect the high order terms.
00:25:34If it's a costume party, maybe I can hide his face so they won't recognize him.
00:25:42What's wrong?
00:25:44Uh, are you free tomorrow night?
00:25:52I have a business meeting, but why?
00:25:55What's up?
00:25:56Never mind.
00:26:04You got this, Rachel.
00:26:06Just keep her in check.
00:26:08I'm not gonna let you fire my dad, Hannah.
00:26:12I'm having all your things moved over.
00:26:14They should arrive by tonight.
00:26:15Did he really buy all of this?
00:26:18For me?
00:26:24Oh, charity girl, how do you move to your house?
00:26:28You think you deserve it?
00:26:31Freak.
00:26:32Freak.
00:26:33Freak.
00:26:59I don't know what you like, so I told them to get a little of everything.
00:27:05Here.
00:27:06Take this.
00:27:07There's no spending limit, and the pin is your birthday.
00:27:09Hey, have fun.
00:27:14I can't take your money.
00:27:16Besides, I'm a student, and I don't need-
00:27:18You still got to hang out with your friends, no?
00:27:23Rachel.
00:27:25What's wrong?
00:27:26Is someone still picking on you?
00:27:28Hannah's father is the school's biggest donor.
00:27:30The truth will only burden him.
00:27:32There's nothing he can do.
00:27:45Everyone, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Tyler.
00:27:49His uncle is the dean.
00:27:52Where's Rachel, though?
00:27:53She's probably still digging through some donation bin,
00:27:56looking for ratty dresses the janitor wears.
00:28:24Wait, that's the Rachel you're talking about?
00:28:31Damn, she's a total knockout.
00:28:35Damn, she's a total knockout.
00:28:41Where's your fiancé?
00:28:43Unlike you, Hannah, my fiancé actually has a career,
00:28:46and he doesn't have time or energy for these petty high school games.
00:28:50Let's be real.
00:28:52What could he possibly do that could make him that important?
00:28:56He's probably just a total wannabe,
00:28:59clinging to someone with actual power and influence, like me.
00:29:13Ethan, with your track record,
00:29:16you could be a tenured professor at any Ivy League.
00:29:20Why limit yourself to junior college?
00:29:38Nothing will stop me from getting into Stanford.
00:29:40Nothing will stop me from becoming a mathematician.
00:29:43Keep going, Rachel.
00:29:49Because I've met someone truly special here.
00:29:52Someone with a lot of potential,
00:29:53and I want to make sure she gets what she deserves.
00:29:56She must be really something to get you to vouch for her.
00:30:00If that's the case,
00:30:02then Stanford would welcome her with open arms.
00:30:06Professor Sinclair,
00:30:08I'm the owner of this establishment.
00:30:09I was hoping I may get a letter of recommendation from you.
00:30:14Okay.
00:30:15For whom?
00:30:17Annie Kingsley.
00:30:18My daughter.
00:30:19She's also one of your students.
00:30:27Someone with actual power and influence, like me.
00:30:34I heard that your sister dumped your little boyfriend,
00:30:39and you're just picking up her sloppy seconds.
00:30:42Ugh, disgusting.
00:30:45Picking up seconds.
00:30:47Picking up seconds?
00:30:47That's funny.
00:30:48I don't recall you ever picking up anything.
00:30:50You always got last in all of our classes.
00:30:54I'm going to make you regret ever opening your mouth.
00:31:04Oh, excuse me.
00:31:10Hello?
00:31:11Dad?
00:31:12Adam Dawson's orphan daughter, Rachel.
00:31:16Rachel Dawson?
00:31:16Yeah, she totally offended me.
00:31:19Can you get rid of her?
00:31:21Of course, sweetheart.
00:31:23Fire her dad.
00:31:24Now.
00:31:26She's finished.
00:31:29What did you just say?
00:31:35What are you going to do about it now?
00:31:37Cry to your fiancé?
00:31:39What's he going to do about it?
00:31:41Whine like a baby?
00:31:47Please, Professor Sinclair.
00:31:49It's fine.
00:31:50No need.
00:31:51Professor Sinclair, please.
00:31:53Wait.
00:31:54Dad?
00:31:55No, that can't be real.
00:31:57My dad would never, ever apologize to some nobody.
00:32:00I don't know what happened.
00:32:02It's just all of it.
00:32:03It is, Mr. Kingsley.
00:32:05He's apologizing to Rachel's fiancé at his own restaurant.
00:32:12You stupid girl.
00:32:14Do you have any idea what you've done?
00:32:15The whole academic world is turning us back on us because of you.
00:32:20Wait.
00:32:21No.
00:32:21Dad, I can explain.
00:32:33Cheers.
00:32:36Wait, no.
00:32:37Dad, I can fix this.
00:32:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:33:15What are you doing here?
00:33:16I was in the neighborhood.
00:33:20I thought I'd give you a lift.
00:33:24In the neighborhood?
00:33:26His dinner was all the way across the city.
00:33:34After you?
00:33:47Have you been drinking?
00:33:50Just sparkling.
00:33:58I didn't realize Hannah was being so difficult.
00:34:01Why'd you keep that to yourself?
00:34:04Your dad has a lot of pull at the school.
00:34:06It won't make things complicated for you.
00:34:08Why does she have such a vendetta against you?
00:34:11It's stupid.
00:34:13Our freshman year, she got rejected by a guy who asked me how to know her later.
00:34:18I guess she's never gotten over.
00:34:20I see.
00:34:40First time in heels?
00:34:51I'm so, so, so sorry.
00:35:12I should go change.
00:35:23Professor Sinclair, I've disciplined Hannah.
00:35:26I promise she won't breathe a word to her ever again.
00:35:29It's mister.
00:35:31And I don't think I can be her daughter's professor any longer.
00:35:34Mr. Sinclair, I understand.
00:35:36She'll transfer out of your class immediately and out of your life.
00:35:39Good.
00:35:51Oh no.
00:35:52This feels a little too...
00:35:54Are you changed yet?
00:35:55Can I come in?
00:35:56Can I come in?
00:36:02What is it, bad?
00:36:06What is it, bad?
00:36:07No.
00:36:10You're gorgeous.
00:36:22You're gorgeous.
00:36:24But it's not Saturday yet.
00:36:26We're not supposed to.
00:36:27I know.
00:36:28It's just a kiss, nothing more.
00:36:31So it's like practice?
00:36:35What else do you want to practice?
00:36:59Someone looks like she just won the lottery.
00:37:01Didn't you hear?
00:37:03Tyler and Hannah dropped out of class.
00:37:05Finally, there's no one left to give you a hard time.
00:37:08Dropped out?
00:37:10Is that really a coincidence?
00:37:13Also, the new face is joining the ranks.
00:37:15He's not new to you, though.
00:37:20He's not new to you, though.
00:37:27Are you okay?
00:37:29Long time no see, Rach.
00:37:32Steven?
00:37:34Thanks for the notes.
00:37:36Wait.
00:37:38Steven?
00:37:40I like you.
00:37:41Will you be my boyfriend?
00:37:46Rach, I'm moving abroad.
00:37:47I'm sorry.
00:37:48I can't choose you over my future.
00:37:57Wow, I didn't even recognize you.
00:38:00I'm here for the competition, too.
00:38:03Would you want to get lunch after this?
00:38:12Two years in Switzerland, I never stopped thinking about home.
00:38:15Especially this place.
00:38:16Yeah.
00:38:17Yeah.
00:38:17The food's really good.
00:38:18You've been disapproved by my fiancé, and he's really picky.
00:38:22Fiancé?
00:38:24Are you engaged?
00:38:28The wedding's next month.
00:38:32What if I had stayed, Rach?
00:38:34Would things be different?
00:38:36Would it be us?
00:38:39There's no ifs, Steven.
00:38:41I love Ethan.
00:38:43I'm exactly where I want to be.
00:38:50Whoa.
00:38:51Careful.
00:38:54Unbelievable.
00:38:55Unbelievable.
00:38:56Cheating in broad daylight?
00:38:59Wait till Ethan hears about this.
00:39:06Are you even listening to me?
00:39:08Your wife is cheating on you.
00:39:10I saw her having lunch with another man.
00:39:16And how do you know she's cheating on me?
00:39:18Because they ate together.
00:39:20They laughed.
00:39:21He caught her when she tripped.
00:39:24I...
00:39:25I just knew it.
00:39:27Something felt off.
00:39:29Rachel is my wife, and I trust her.
00:39:31It's perfectly normal for her to have friends of her own.
00:39:35And one more thing.
00:39:38If you can't give her the respect she deserves,
00:39:40it's best you stay out of my sight.
00:39:43But...
00:39:44I'm going home.
00:39:51Fine.
00:39:52Just you wait.
00:39:54I'll make sure you see her true colors.
00:40:02How'd it go?
00:40:03Easy peasy.
00:40:04I beat the clock.
00:40:06And you didn't skip lunch again, did you?
00:40:08No.
00:40:09I went to Lovetta with a friend.
00:40:10I've always wanted to try it there.
00:40:16Now don't go exploring without me, okay?
00:40:20I want to experience every one of your firsts with you.
00:40:23What's gotten into him?
00:40:24Since when is he so...
00:40:26needy?
00:40:32The competition results are in!
00:40:34I heard if you make it to the next round,
00:40:35you can get a recommendation letter from a Stanford professor.
00:40:38That's insane.
00:40:40Did anyone make it?
00:40:42Rachel, get over here!
00:40:44You did it!
00:40:45You're the only one that made it to the next round.
00:40:49Are you the Rachel Dawson?
00:40:51That's awesome.
00:40:52I can't believe someone from our school is actually going to Stanford.
00:40:55How'd you do it?
00:40:56By spreading her legs, obviously.
00:40:59What the hell are you talking about?
00:41:01Rachel won on merit.
00:41:04Merit?
00:41:04What's the merit in a bargain bin bride and her trailer park wedding?
00:41:09What?
00:41:10Is she married at 19?
00:41:12Who's her husband?
00:41:20Professor Sinclair, I still find it hard to believe someone like you would teach on our campus.
00:41:27Since this competition wouldn't exist without your sponsorship,
00:41:31I'd like to introduce you to the school.
00:41:34That won't be necessary.
00:41:36I'm not used to the spotlight.
00:41:40Rachel!
00:41:43Her fiancé is a sugar daddy.
00:41:45She was ashamed to show his face.
00:41:47Go on!
00:41:48Tell us how you won that participation trophy.
00:41:50The rest of us show effort.
00:41:52You show sin.
00:41:54What's your proof?
00:41:55Fine.
00:41:56You want proof?
00:41:57Here's your proof.
00:42:15Is this you?
00:42:17Sucking up some grandpa in the school parking lot?
00:42:20What else did he give you besides the test answers?
00:42:23A sore throat?
00:42:24Or a face full of mothballs?
00:42:26Cheating on your fiancé and cheating on your test?
00:42:29Damn.
00:42:30You don't exactly aim high, dude.
00:42:32I'm taking this up with a dean.
00:42:34Cancel her test score.
00:42:35She doesn't deserve to have a spot at tough university.
00:42:38Rachel likes to pretend that she's all pure and innocent.
00:42:42But really, she's just a cheat.
00:42:50Steven?
00:42:51I thought I smelled a dumpster fire.
00:42:53You're welcome.
00:42:54My uncle's the dean.
00:42:55You think you're going to play here or you have no idea who you're messing with?
00:43:06Uncle.
00:43:07What are you doing?
00:43:08You arrogant, blind fool.
00:43:11Do you have any idea who you just offended?
00:43:34Professor Sinclair!
00:43:36I'm here for my wife and our rumors.
00:43:41Wife?
00:43:42Did Professor Sinclair just say that Rachel's his wife?
00:43:47No way.
00:43:48How's that possible?
00:43:50Yeah, right.
00:43:51She's just a low-life dirty king.
00:43:53How the hell would she land?
00:43:54Hannah.
00:43:55If I recall, your flapping mouth cost her father a great deal last month.
00:43:59Does she really want to go around, too?
00:44:02But, Professor, you know she's stepping out on you, right?
00:44:05Look at these.
00:44:06Look at these.
00:44:11Stepping out?
00:44:14What's the problem with picking up my wife?
00:44:17Wait.
00:44:18It was him in the photos this whole time?
00:44:20Does he drop her off every day?
00:44:22She's so lucky to have you.
00:44:24So, this is the happiness she was talking about.
00:44:27Him.
00:44:31So, this is what it feels like.
00:44:33To be rejected.
00:44:36Look, he's the clown now.
00:44:38What's the thing twice before running them out today?
00:44:40The board has thoroughly vetted Rachel's place.
00:44:44Her place in the finals is indisputable.
00:44:47I don't want to hear another word of gossip or character assassination in these halls.
00:44:53Wait.
00:44:54School policy forbids faculty-student relationships.
00:44:58They're breaking the rules.
00:45:00Got a point.
00:45:01They look good together, but it's a serious violation of the school policy.
00:45:07Exactly.
00:45:08People literally should be fired for this.
00:45:12Exactly.
00:45:13Sinclair should be fired for this.
00:45:15Well, professor?
00:45:21Rachel and I are married legally.
00:45:23It's a matter of public record.
00:45:24Look it up.
00:45:25As for the student-teacher issue,
00:45:27the Dawson's and the Sinclair's signed a contract over a decade ago.
00:45:30No matter what we're doing,
00:45:31or who we are,
00:45:34she'll always be my wife.
00:45:41Does that clarify things for you, Tyler?
00:45:46It wasn't my idea.
00:45:47It was Hannah's.
00:45:49She was just jealous.
00:45:50She tracked her.
00:45:51She took the photos.
00:45:52You coward!
00:45:53You're throwing me under the bus!
00:45:54Tyler,
00:45:56I'm sure your uncle will make a sound decision.
00:45:59And Hannah,
00:46:00last time there was a transfer.
00:46:01This time it's a lawsuit.
00:46:03You slandered my wife,
00:46:05and you fabricated a crime against us.
00:46:07My lawyers will be in touch.
00:46:09Tell your father to prepare to lose everything.
00:46:16Professor!
00:46:16Please!
00:46:18No!
00:46:28Thank you for sticking up for me today.
00:46:30You don't have to thank me.
00:46:32I'm your husband.
00:46:33But if anyone ever bullies you again,
00:46:35you tell me right away.
00:46:39Right here.
00:46:39I'll grab the car.
00:46:43I'll grab the car.
00:46:46Need a lift?
00:46:48Ethan's got me.
00:46:49Thanks.
00:46:50That's it?
00:46:51We're just done?
00:46:51You and the professor live in two different worlds.
00:46:54It might work now,
00:46:55but down the road...
00:47:03Sorry for the wait.
00:47:05Professor Sinclair.
00:47:07Oh, I know you.
00:47:09Thank you for helping my wife today.
00:47:10Rachel and I have a long history.
00:47:12I trust that she wouldn't do anything like that.
00:47:14A long history?
00:47:22Uh, Ethan, let's just go.
00:47:28Rach,
00:47:30I'll see you at Stanford summer camp.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:42So how long have you two known each other?
00:47:45You seem close.
00:47:46We went to high school together.
00:47:48He's the reason I fell for math.
00:47:51I see.
00:47:56Where are you going?
00:47:57Steven just sent over the camp information.
00:48:00I'm just going through it.
00:48:01What's the rush?
00:48:03What?
00:48:03It's not like I have anything else going on.
00:48:16Actually, they do.
00:48:18Like what?
00:48:20Do you want to dance?
00:48:22In the rhythm of your heart?
00:48:24We could take a chance.
00:48:26In the only world we know.
00:48:28This is the beginning.
00:48:30I'm flying in the air.
00:48:39His kiss
00:48:40is more fierce than ever.
00:48:49Husband and wife and stuff.
00:48:51That's what we agree on.
00:48:53But it's so mid-friday.
00:48:56I know.
00:48:58I know.
00:49:27What about yourself?
00:49:46It's early.
00:49:48Stay a little longer.
00:49:59It's early.
00:49:59Stay a little longer.
00:50:03What's wrong?
00:50:04No, it's not that.
00:50:06I'm just going over the orientation notes for the summer camp.
00:50:10Why the long face?
00:50:12They added it an extra round.
00:50:14All these people are at platinum level.
00:50:16I don't even stand a chance.
00:50:17You're the most gifted student I've ever met.
00:50:20Okay?
00:50:22Just trust yourself and you'll be fine.
00:50:24What if I mess it up?
00:50:27How about I come with you?
00:50:28I have a business meeting in the area anyway.
00:50:31Really?
00:50:34Yes.
00:50:40Did you hear?
00:50:41The top scorer gets a full ride to Stanford
00:50:43and an honorary speech at the finale.
00:50:46Man, I wish that were me.
00:50:47I know, me too.
00:50:50That spot belongs to my wife.
00:50:56How was the exam?
00:50:58Excellent.
00:51:01Also,
00:51:03I have an idea for tonight.
00:51:15It's time for husband and wife in the stuff.
00:51:19It is not Saturday.
00:51:27I can't take a second.
00:51:30I'm taking it back.
00:51:35I can't take it back.
00:51:51Welcome.
00:51:52Please sign in here.
00:51:58Are you Rachel Dawson?
00:52:01I shouldn't be telling you this,
00:52:03but you've taken the top spot.
00:52:06You're going to give that speech.
00:52:08Really?
00:52:10You still have time to get ready.
00:52:22I can't believe someone would actually wear
00:52:24that disgusting camp shirt.
00:52:26Typical clearance ride girl.
00:52:28How does she even get in here?
00:52:31Hi, I'm Rachel.
00:52:37Ignore those snobs.
00:52:39Have you heard?
00:52:40Whoever got first place is doing tonight's speech.
00:52:42Wonder who it could be.
00:52:44Actually, it's...
00:52:52That's Edward Grayson.
00:52:54His family owns the DW bank.
00:52:56He is wealthy, savvy, and sexy.
00:53:00That still looks expensive.
00:53:02He clearly came prepared.
00:53:04He must be the speaker tonight.
00:53:06The front row is for high scorers only.
00:53:08You don't belong here.
00:53:10Welcome to the Putnam Mathematics Camp.
00:53:12Please all join me as we welcome our honorary speaker,
00:53:16who is also the winner of this year's competition,
00:53:24Rachel Dawson.
00:53:28This can't be real.
00:53:30The results are rigged.
00:53:34How could Rachel Dawson ever ace the test?
00:53:37She looks like she couldn't even finish high school.
00:53:39There's no way she has the highest score here.
00:53:41Okay, okay.
00:53:42Everyone, everyone just calm down.
00:53:44Let me just, let me just look up the records.
00:53:48Rachel Dawson from...
00:53:50Ace of Los Angeles Community College?
00:53:56Hear that?
00:53:57Community college.
00:53:59Give me a break.
00:54:00Everyone in this room comes from the Ivy League.
00:54:03Exactly.
00:54:04This is a math competition,
00:54:06not a competition for lawn mowing or table waiting.
00:54:08How could this community college girl get first place?
00:54:11I am first place.
00:54:13The instructor told me so herself.
00:54:16Really?
00:54:17And did she tell you what score you got?
00:54:21A full score.
00:54:22Full score.
00:54:23There hasn't been a full score in the entire history of this candidate.
00:54:26If you're gonna lie, at least make it plausible.
00:54:29Can we get a live audit?
00:54:32Now?
00:54:34Sure, I suppose.
00:54:36But we still follow a strict protocol.
00:54:39And scores are confidential without the candidate's consent.
00:54:43Let's see if those numbers actually check out.
00:54:46You're game.
00:54:48Bring it on.
00:54:50I'm not the one who's about to be embarrassed.
00:54:53Rachel, are you sure about this?
00:55:02So...
00:55:12Wait.
00:55:13Wait.
00:55:17Who said you get to cut the line?
00:55:19We'll go first.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:23For all we know, she's in cahoots with the moderator.
00:55:26Everything about this smells like a scam.
00:55:29Exactly.
00:55:30We need to make sure the system is above board before she touches it.
00:55:34I'll go first.
00:55:35To prove this thing is fair.
00:55:48See?
00:55:49Fair and square.
00:55:51Or do you need someone else to go?
00:55:52A community college student got a 90?
00:55:55I'll skip my turn.
00:55:56I've definitely been a hit 90.
00:55:58Bunch of losers.
00:55:59You're intimidated by a 90?
00:56:01None of you is fit to shine my shoes.
00:56:04Watch closely.
00:56:05This is what a high score looks like.
00:56:08This is what first place looks like.
00:56:24A 110?
00:56:26That means he only dropped one question.
00:56:28That's it.
00:56:30Edward's got the top spot on lock.
00:56:32No.
00:56:34My score's not up there yet.
00:56:36Give it up, Rachel.
00:56:37There's no way you could possibly beat my score.
00:56:40My dad's a board member.
00:56:41He said someone did get a perfect score this year.
00:56:50My dad's a board member.
00:56:52He said someone did get a perfect score this year.
00:56:58That's impossible.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:02It's my turn.
00:57:10Wait.
00:57:11What now?
00:57:13Are you ever going to let up?
00:57:14Let's make a bet.
00:57:16On what?
00:57:17If you don't get the perfect score,
00:57:20you'll strip in front of everyone.
00:57:27And if you lose,
00:57:30I'll strip
00:57:31and crawl at your feet
00:57:33and beg
00:57:34for your forgiveness.
00:57:36Deal.
00:57:41She's got some nerve.
00:57:43Talk about social suicide.
00:57:45A perfect score
00:57:46from a community college girl?
00:57:48No way.
00:57:50Grab your popcorn, boys.
00:58:13A perfect score?
00:58:16The Stanford camp exam is a total meat grinder.
00:58:19This is impossible.
00:58:21This can't be real.
00:58:22Talent is talent.
00:58:24And Rachel's in her own league.
00:58:25So, why don't you do what you promised to Rachel
00:58:28and get on the floor and strip?
00:58:29Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
00:58:36This whole thing is rigged.
00:58:38She must have hacked the system and changed her score.
00:58:41Are you all seriously losing your minds over a fraud?
00:58:43Edward, I have done everything you've asked.
00:58:46You wanted an audit,
00:58:48I got it for you.
00:58:49Now it's time that you pay me
00:58:50what I deserve.
00:58:52Pay what?
00:58:54Why the hell would I pay
00:58:55those community college trash?
00:58:57You're nothing but slum scum.
00:59:01Don't you dare.
00:59:19Who the fuck are you?
00:59:21You don't tell me what to do.
00:59:24I'm Ethan Sinclair, Rachel's husband.
00:59:29That's Ethan Sinclair,
00:59:31the Putnam judge who shook the entire math world.
00:59:34Oh my God.
00:59:35That's Ethan Sinclair's wife.
00:59:38To question Rachel's score
00:59:40is to question the integrity of this exam.
00:59:43Feel free to file a form of complaint with Stanford.
00:59:46I still don't buy this.
00:59:47Unless the dean of Stanford herself.
00:59:52Well said.
00:59:53I'm here to announce the results myself.
00:59:56The top score for this year's entrance exam
00:59:59goes to Rachel Dawson.
01:00:02It's a perfect 120.
01:00:05The results are solid and final.
01:00:08Stanford University is thrilled
01:00:10to award her a full scholarship.
01:00:18Hey, where are you going?
01:00:21Don't you have a bet to follow through it?
01:00:30I'm sorry.
01:00:33I'm sorry.
01:00:48I forgive you.
01:00:54I guess I'll never be able to replace Ethan.
01:00:57In that case, Rachel,
01:00:59be happy.
01:01:04It's hard to believe LA still has hidden gems like this.
01:01:08My family bought this place 10 years ago.
01:01:10It's the only place I can actually find some peace.
01:01:15I need to go take a look at the dinner menu for tonight.
01:01:18Feel free to look around.
01:01:26Mr. Sinclair!
01:01:26Rachel, I can't believe Ethan left you hanging.
01:01:29Come, there's someone you must meet.
01:01:34Rachel, this is Bonnie.
01:01:36An old friend of Ethan's.
01:01:38They practically grew up together.
01:01:40Like Ethan, she's also in academia.
01:01:43Bonnie, meet Ethan's wife, Rachel.
01:01:47Miss Sloan?
01:01:50You two know each other?
01:01:52Rachel was in my class.
01:01:56Miss Sinclair, may I have a moment with Rachel in private?
01:02:05Rachel, congrats on the competition.
01:02:10And with Ethan.
01:02:14Thank you, Miss Sloan.
01:02:17It's funny.
01:02:19It feels like everyone else's love life is much simpler than mine.
01:02:25Is everything okay?
01:02:29We grew up together.
01:02:31I spent my whole life assuming that we were meant to be.
01:02:38Until he traded us for an arranged marriage.
01:02:43To some blank slate.
01:02:46That's your age.
01:02:49I'm so sorry to hear that, Miss Sloan.
01:02:52I'm sure you'll find someone who will truly cherish you.
01:02:56I'm so embarrassed.
01:02:58I shouldn't be offloading all of this onto my students.
01:03:02It's just...
01:03:05It's a lot to carry.
01:03:09Alone.
01:03:12Enough of me.
01:03:14Have you two had the wedding yet?
01:03:17Not until next month.
01:03:19I know a boutique that has the most incredible bridal gowns.
01:03:26Let's go tomorrow.
01:03:28Something about this doesn't feel right.
01:03:35Why do I have to babysit this charity case while she tries on gowns?
01:03:38My schedule is packed.
01:03:40Do you think I want to be here?
01:03:42It is a small price to pay for our reputation.
01:03:46Come on.
01:04:08Sloan, are you sure about this?
01:04:10Something feels off.
01:04:12Don't be ridiculous.
01:04:14You look great.
01:04:15Now, chop chop.
01:04:17Mrs. Sinclair and Emily are waiting.
01:04:18I... you know that I...
01:04:32Well, I hate to admit it, but the gutter that actually cleans up quite nicely.
01:04:38Mrs. Sinclair?
01:04:41That's more like it.
01:04:54Are you too dumb to be able to wear a dress?
01:04:57No, it wasn't me.
01:04:59I swear I...
01:05:04Oh, sorry.
01:05:05No, it's once a gutter rat.
01:05:08Oh, it's a gutter rat.
01:05:20Ethan, why are you doing this to me?
01:05:23Because you stole the man I love, bitch.
01:05:25I was supposed to be Ethan's wife.
01:05:27Not you.
01:05:31It's you.
01:05:32You're the child of the crush.
01:05:39You're late to the party, dumbass.
01:05:48Bridal shop.
01:05:51Looks like she has this prize waiting for me.
01:06:00Rachel.
01:06:09Where's Rachel?
01:06:10Ethan.
01:06:11All I've ever wanted is to wear a wedding dress for you.
01:06:16Even if it's just this once.
01:06:19I'm gonna ask you one last time.
01:06:22Where's my wife?
01:06:25Where's my wife?
01:06:49Rachel.
01:06:51Rachel, it's okay.
01:06:52I'm here.
01:06:53I'm here.
01:07:18If anyone ever comes at my wife again, you're declaring war on me.
01:07:23Trust me.
01:07:24It won't end well for you.
01:07:26And Bonnie, don't ever show your face in front of me again.
01:07:30Now get out!
01:07:35Rachel, I'm sorry.
01:07:37I should have told you about Bonnie sooner and made sure she stayed away from you.
01:07:40This is all my fault.
01:07:42So was she the child of the crush that Miss Sinclair told me about?
01:07:46The one you were supposed to marry?
01:07:48She's just a family friend, nothing more.
01:07:50Years ago, she stayed here for a week while I was out of town.
01:07:53But we hardly even crossed paths.
01:08:02It's only ever been you, Rachel.
01:08:09Your hands.
01:08:10They're bleeding.
01:08:12It's just a scratch.
01:08:13No, no, no.
01:08:14It'll get infected.
01:08:15Hold on.
01:08:16Stay here.
01:08:16Wait for me.
01:08:22Lily!
01:08:24Are you getting married?
01:08:26To who?
01:08:27You ran away, so I had to take your place and marry Ethan.
01:08:30No, no, no.
01:08:31Call off the wedding.
01:08:32You cannot marry Sinclair.
01:08:37I'm sorry, Rachel, but this is for your own good.
01:08:40You can't get married.
01:08:41Wait, where have you been?
01:08:42We've been looking everywhere for you.
01:08:45I was with Mike.
01:08:47Wait, Lily, what happened?
01:08:49Why are you acting like this?
01:08:51You're scaring me.
01:08:53Because I was wrong about him.
01:08:56I can't believe I was so blind to what a scumbag he is.
01:09:00It's over.
01:09:02We're done.
01:09:07Rachel, don't do it.
01:09:10Love, it's just a different way to get hurt.
01:09:15I know that Ethan is the perfect match.
01:09:18But look at me.
01:09:20This is how love plays out in the real world.
01:09:23And all that sweet talk turns into a honey trap.
01:09:38I've gone through the details of our wedding.
01:09:50Rachel, if you have even the slightest doubt about this, we can walk away right now.
01:09:54Okay?
01:09:55I want you to be happy.
01:09:56To be free.
01:09:57And I hope that's what this marriage is to you.
01:10:01His words swept away every last bit of my hesitation.
01:10:06Ethan, thank you for giving me the chance to choose for myself.
01:10:11But even if I had a million chances, I would still choose you.
01:10:26Richer for poor, in sickness and in health.
01:10:30On weekdays and on weekends.
01:10:37A secret known only to the two of us.
01:10:52You may now kiss the bride.
01:10:57Little did I know, Ethan fell for me because...
01:11:01Your struggle is as beautiful as it is.
