Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My mother only had one daughter. She's not my sister. She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:00:08What do you want?
00:00:09I want 10 billion.
00:00:11On our daughter's birthday, you waltz in with your mistress and your bastard child?
00:00:18Everyone thinks I'm greedy, but nobody asks about all the shit I've been dragged through.
00:00:2310 billion dollars?
00:00:26Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:00:29God, no!
00:00:32I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:00:35I want a guy who'd tattoo my name into his chest.
00:00:41He is willing to endure pain for others.
00:00:43My wounds have never been worth mentioning.
00:00:47And the pearl.
00:00:49She wants the pearl from Atlantic reefs.
00:00:53Who instinctively pushed me aside to sleep.
00:01:00He personally locked me in the ice cell and nearly left me to die there.
00:01:04Get into a hospital.
00:01:07But he will never know that I was the one to save him from that fire.
00:01:15I left without saying goodbye.
00:01:18Alvin!
00:01:22I object!
00:01:25I thought he would never understand what he has to say.
00:01:28Please don't marry you, Iris.
00:01:29You're the one I've been looking for all along.
00:01:42I've made my decision.
00:01:43I'll marry the comatose colonel from the Archibald family.
00:01:48That's wonderful.
00:01:49You've finally come to your senses.
00:01:51The Archibalds have been pushing hard.
00:01:53They expect you to move into their Florida estate within two weeks.
00:01:57Tell me, what kind of wedding dress do you want?
00:01:59I can have designers from Paris or Milan flown in.
00:02:01Since I'm taking your precious little love child's place,
00:02:04the least you can do is make it worth my while.
00:02:08Watch your mouth.
00:02:09She's your sister.
00:02:10Sister?
00:02:11My mother only had one daughter.
00:02:13She's not my sister.
00:02:15She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:02:26What do you want?
00:02:28I want ten billion.
00:02:30Ten bill?
00:02:31Are you insane?
00:02:32That would drain the entire family trust.
00:02:34One more thing.
00:02:35Once I'm married,
00:02:36have Ryan reassigned to babysit your precious love child.
00:02:40Ryan?
00:02:40The man you were ready to marry?
00:02:42I thought you'd take him with you to the Archibald estate.
00:02:44Just say yes or no, Dad.
00:02:48Two years ago,
00:02:50Liam Archibald was a rising star.
00:02:53The youngest colonel this country ever had.
00:02:55I pulled every string to get Madison engaged to him.
00:02:58Thought I'd set her up for life.
00:03:00Then he gets himself blown up and ends up in a coma.
00:03:03Lucky for me, I've got another daughter.
00:03:05If you marry him instead,
00:03:08Madison gets another chance.
00:03:11Fine.
00:03:12You go through with the marriage,
00:03:13and I'll make both things happen.
00:03:17Wait.
00:03:19I understand why you'd want the money.
00:03:21But you love Ryan.
00:03:23How can you just hand him over to Madison?
00:03:38I love you so much, Mary.
00:03:42You asked why I could hand him over?
00:03:45Because he's just like you, Daddy.
00:03:48He only ever loved Madison.
00:03:52Ryan.
00:03:53I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
00:03:57Ryan.
00:03:58I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard.
00:03:59Shirt's off.
00:04:04Muscles don't mean much.
00:04:05I need someone who can actually fight.
00:04:18That's it.
00:04:19He's the one.
00:04:29Ryan.
00:04:30My heel broke.
00:04:32Can you carry me back to my room?
00:04:34I'll grab you a new pair.
00:04:42Ryan.
00:04:43It's storming out there.
00:04:44I'm scared.
00:04:44Can I stay with you tonight?
00:04:48You'll be fine.
00:04:50Ask one of the maids to stay with you.
00:05:00Ryan.
00:05:01Help me.
00:05:02I fell for you before I even knew what love was.
00:05:05Maybe because after Mom died, you were the only constant left.
00:05:08But three years goes by, no matter how hard I tried.
00:05:11You never saw me the way I saw you.
00:05:14I thought you just didn't feel things until that day before graduation.
00:05:18Dude, your family owns like half of New York.
00:05:20You can have any girl you want.
00:05:22Just go for Madison.
00:05:23Why waste time playing bodyguard for the sister?
00:05:25You don't get it.
00:05:26Maddie's different.
00:05:27She has been the family secret her whole life.
00:05:29If I push too fast, she'll shut down.
00:05:32Okay, but seriously though, nothing for the sister?
00:05:36I mean, the way she throws herself at you, bro.
00:05:38Woof.
00:05:40Please.
00:05:41Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
00:05:43Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
00:05:46We're graduating tomorrow.
00:05:47You really going to keep playing her guard dog?
00:05:49For Maddie?
00:05:51I'd do anything.
00:05:54That was the moment I decided I'd never love you again.
00:06:03Miss Iris, what do you need?
00:06:05You never change.
00:06:06You worship everything about her.
00:06:08Even when it's just a damn picture.
00:06:09But the second you see me, you turn to stone.
00:06:13If it's not important, please leave.
00:06:15I'd like to get some sleep.
00:06:17There's this auction tomorrow night.
00:06:18I need you to come with me.
00:06:21I can't.
00:06:23I'm taking the night off.
00:06:25Madison will be there.
00:06:27Then I'll be there.
00:06:28Of course.
00:06:30The second her name comes up, every rule just goes out the window.
00:06:35Don't worry, Ryan.
00:06:36I'll make sure you end up where you've always wanted to be.
00:06:38With Madison.
00:06:39Up front.
00:06:40What?
00:06:41The passenger seat.
00:06:43That's where the bodyguard belongs.
00:06:45That's strange.
00:06:46Usually she'd lose her mind if I didn't sit next to her.
00:06:54Sit next to me.
00:06:55Say no, and you are fired.
00:06:59From now on, you always sit next to me.
00:07:15Oh gosh, Iris, what are the odds?
00:07:18I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:21Oh gosh, Iris, what are the odds?
00:07:24I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:26Don't touch me.
00:07:27I was just trying to be nice.
00:07:31Oh, Ryan.
00:07:32Hey.
00:07:33That was so sweet of you, going all the way to Brooklyn in the storm, just to get me those
00:07:38croissants.
00:07:39Gosh, I've been so sick, I didn't even get to thank you properly.
00:07:43Oh, it's nothing.
00:07:44It was on the way.
00:07:46At least let me buy you dinner.
00:07:48I insist.
00:07:50Whatever you want.
00:07:51We should invite Iris, too.
00:07:55You don't look so good, Iris.
00:07:57Iris, gosh, I would have thought you're the sick one.
00:08:00I'd worry about myself if I was the bastard kid.
00:08:04We are really not that close, sweetheart.
00:08:09Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin.
00:08:15Ryan, what's going on with her?
00:08:16Don't worry about it.
00:08:18Come on.
00:08:20Once I marry into the Archibalds, I'm on my own.
00:08:24Definitely can't count on dad.
00:08:26I need to buy something that guarantees me a seat at the table.
00:08:29An 18th century sapphire crown by French master, Lucien Marchand.
00:08:40$500,000.
00:08:43$1,000,000.
00:08:45$1,000,000.
00:08:45$1,500,000.
00:08:46Oh, Iris, that crown is so my vibe.
00:08:49Maybe let me have this one?
00:08:50Your allowance doesn't exactly keep up with mine.
00:08:53Allowance?
00:08:54Richard couldn't be bothered to give me lunch money.
00:08:57If it weren't for mom's trust fund, I'd be starving.
00:09:03$2,000,000.
00:09:05$2,500,000.
00:09:06$3,500,000.
00:09:09$3,500,000.
00:09:11You sure you have enough to pay the bid?
00:09:12I'd hate to see you embarrassed yourself.
00:09:15$5,000,000.
00:09:17Is she out of her mind?
00:09:19Oh, my God.
00:09:20Funny.
00:09:20I'm starting to think you're the one who can't pay.
00:09:24Ma'am, would you like to continue?
00:09:27Of course.
00:09:28Just give me a sec.
00:09:30Call my dad.
00:09:31Tell him I need more funds.
00:09:32Now.
00:09:33You know I always get what I want.
00:09:36Daddy makes sure of it.
00:09:38Not this time.
00:09:40I've got every cent of Carter money locked under my account.
00:09:43Daddy's dry bitch.
00:09:48What?
00:09:49$5,000,000 once.
00:09:51$5,000,000 twice.
00:09:54$10,000,000.
00:09:55To be clear, what I'm saying is whatever she bids, I'll add $10,000,000 on top.
00:09:59Are you sure you wish to continue, miss?
00:10:06Allow me to introduce myself.
00:10:08I'm here on behalf of Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:11He's asked me to inform you that anything Miss Madison Carter has her sights set on tonight, he'll buy it.
00:10:18No limits.
00:10:19Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:20The Vanderbilt heir.
00:10:21I heard he's never married.
00:10:23Rumor is he's been crazy in love for years.
00:10:26Uh, you think Madison's the one?
00:10:28Could you tell me where Mr. Vanderbilt is?
00:10:31I'd love to thank him in person.
00:10:34Mr. Vanderbilt isn't available to appear tonight.
00:10:37When the time's right, he'll reach out himself.
00:10:40Well, dear sister, still planning to keep bidding?
00:10:44Oh, silly me.
00:10:46I forgot Mr. Vanderbilt is covering everything I want.
00:10:50You should probably stop now before you bid yourself into bankruptcy.
00:10:54Everyone knows that Vanderbilts are the richest family in the country.
00:11:01Next up, a rare canary yellow diamond.
00:11:08Add 10 million.
00:11:09An 18th century oil painting.
00:11:12Add 10 million.
00:11:13A hand-carved mammoth fossil sculpture.
00:11:16Add 10 million.
00:11:17The eternal flame necklace.
00:11:20Add 200 million.
00:11:24Add...
00:11:25That's enough.
00:11:26Tell me, does Mr. Vanderbilt plan on leaving anything for anyone else?
00:11:30Apologies, ma'am.
00:11:32Mr. Vanderbilt only asked that Miss Madison Carter enjoy herself tonight.
00:11:36Everything else is in his concern.
00:11:42Ryan, you're fucking unbelievable.
00:11:47Where is this?
00:11:50Take me to Shadow Arena.
00:11:52Yes, ma'am.
00:11:54Iris!
00:11:55Going to Shadow Arena?
00:11:57Perfect!
00:11:58I'm bored out of my mind.
00:11:59Take me with you!
00:12:01No?
00:12:02Drive.
00:12:06Why do you think Mr. Vanderbilt's being so nice to me?
00:12:09We've never even met.
00:12:10Simple.
00:12:11He likes you.
00:12:12Don't tease me.
00:12:15I'm not.
00:12:16Men don't waste money on things they don't want.
00:12:18And you?
00:12:20You're hard not to want.
00:12:21Then, do you want me?
00:12:23If you two want to eye-puck each other, take it outside.
00:12:26This is my car.
00:12:29Sorry.
00:12:30I'll be quiet.
00:12:44I'll be quiet.
00:12:45Last round.
00:12:47Who's taking it home tonight?
00:12:49No!
00:12:51Beat him!
00:12:52No!
00:12:54No!

00:32:32it's my duty
00:32:34to always keep you safe
00:32:46goodbye Ryan
00:32:50did you say something?
00:32:52nothing
00:32:53go on
00:33:27go on
00:33:33What the hell? Is the injury acting up?
00:33:37Nah, I'm just too damn excited to see Madison.
00:33:44You gave Iris ten billion dollars?
00:33:49Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:33:52I didn't have a choice.
00:33:58The Archibalds are too powerful.
00:34:00I can't just call off the engagement.
00:34:02If I don't pay Iris, you'd be the one marrying into that family.
00:34:06You want that?
00:34:08God, no!
00:34:11I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:34:14Especially not when Mr. Vanderbilt is chasing after me.
00:34:18He's everything I want in a husband.
00:34:27Ryan, is this for me?
00:34:30Burnt cheesecake from Lavina!
00:34:33This is my favorite!
00:34:35You remembered!
00:34:42Mmm, it's perfect!
00:34:43You always know how to make me smile, Ryan.
00:34:47I should be happy seeing her like this.
00:34:49But why does it hurt worse than before?
00:34:53Like something inside me is breaking.
00:35:00I'm glad you like it.
00:35:02I should go.
00:35:04Miss Iris is waiting.
00:35:05Iris is gone.
00:35:08Ryan, she gave you to me.
00:35:10She gave?
00:35:12What's that supposed to mean?
00:35:14She's marrying the Archibald heir.
00:35:16Yes, the vegetable one.
00:35:18She already left for Florida this morning.
00:35:21You don't have to protect her anymore.
00:35:23From now on, you're my bodyguard.
00:35:27What?
00:35:28She's marrying Liam Archibald?
00:35:33Ryan, you're hurting me.
00:35:38What's with you?
00:35:40Why do you care Iris is getting married?
00:35:45The Archibald's rival the Vandermotov is unfortunate.
00:35:50Liam is a decorated officer.
00:35:54Iris is marrying into power, not tragedy.
00:35:58What's there to worry about?
00:36:07I guess Iris really did luck out.
00:36:10She wasn't moving out.
00:36:11She was leaving.
00:36:13Getting married.
00:36:14To Liam Archibald.
00:36:17I don't believe it.
00:36:19She was always so proud.
00:36:21So radiant.
00:36:23She'll never marry for money.
00:36:25Especially to...
00:36:27To a man who can't even open his eyes.
00:36:32What's the matter?
00:36:34Don't you want to protect me?
00:36:39Of course I want to.
00:36:41It'll be my honor.
00:36:43Yay, I'm so happy!
00:36:45Come shopping with me!
00:36:46I'm in the mood for something new.
00:36:48Maybe diamonds?
00:36:50Isn't this what I wanted?
00:36:51To protect her.
00:36:53For real.
00:36:54Not from the shadows.
00:36:55Not under Iris' name.
00:37:01Iris made Maddie cry.
00:37:03Maybe it's better this way.
00:37:05No one will hurt Maddie anymore.
00:37:13Ryan, I can't believe you bought me all this.
00:37:15You're spoiling me.
00:37:19Anything to make you happy.
00:37:25When you were Iris' bodyguard, were you this nice to her too?
00:37:30No.
00:37:31Only you.
00:37:33You're the best, Rai.
00:37:40Come with me tonight.
00:37:41My friend's throwing a bonfire party.
00:37:44I thought you were terrified of fire.
00:37:48I...
00:37:54Maddie!
00:38:08Maddie!
00:38:09Ryan!
00:38:10Ryan, stay with me!
00:38:19Oh my god!
00:38:20You're awake!
00:38:21You scared the hell out of me!
00:38:23Hey.
00:38:24Are you okay?
00:38:25Does anything hurt?
00:38:26I'm fine.
00:38:27As long as you're okay.
00:38:29You're unbelievable.
00:38:32You've always took care of me.
00:38:34Even when you were supposed to be Iris' bodyguard.
00:38:37The last time I got sick, you stood in the freezing rain all night just to get my favorite cream
00:38:43puffs.
00:38:47And for my birthday, you risked your life diving for that damn pearl.
00:38:53Why, Ryan?
00:38:55Why do you keep doing this for me?
00:38:58Because I...
00:39:00Why can't I say it?
00:39:02I carved her name into my skin.
00:39:04I bled for her.
00:39:06I almost died for her.
00:39:08So why can't I just say, I love her?
00:39:18Ryan?
00:39:20Maddie.
00:39:22There's something I need to tell you, properly.
00:39:26Can you meet me in three days?
00:39:28What is it?
00:39:31You'll find out then.
00:39:40Ryan, I gotta run.
00:39:41We'll talk later, okay?
00:39:43Maddie.
00:39:45Maddie, wait.
00:39:54God.
00:39:56Am I actually missing Iris?
00:40:08God, why won't it stop bleeding?
00:40:13Those men were after me.
00:40:14Who told you to take the hit?
00:40:16Who allowed you to do that?
00:40:28Try it.
00:40:28I made it myself.
00:40:32You shouldn't be doing this.
00:40:34I'm supposed to be working for you.
00:40:36You saved my life.
00:40:39That's my job.
00:40:41Shut it.
00:40:43You listen carefully.
00:40:46You may be my bodyguard, but your life matters.
00:40:52Iris is getting married.
00:40:54Focus, man.
00:40:56You're into Maddie.
00:40:58Stop thinking about her.
00:41:02Ryan?
00:41:03Holy shit.
00:41:05You actually called.
00:41:06I was starting to think bros didn't come before hoes after all.
00:41:09Cut the jokes, man.
00:41:11Listen, I need the rainbow room for tomorrow night.
00:41:14I'm telling Maddie how I feel.
00:41:16The rainbow room?
00:41:17You realize that setup costs more than a townhouse, right?
00:41:20Plus, look solid through fashion week.
00:41:22Then pull the strings.
00:41:23I don't care how much it costs.
00:41:25I want the best diner, most lavish gifts that money can buy.
00:41:28I want fireworks spelling her name over Fifth Avenue.
00:41:31Invite everyone in the city who matters.
00:41:33Dude, you're just telling her how you feel, not planning a royal wedding?
00:41:38Besides, have you even seen Madison?
00:41:40I really don't get it.
00:41:57Stay with me.
00:41:59I'm getting you out.
00:42:09Help!
00:42:27Did you find her?
00:42:28I spoke to the priest at the church.
00:42:31The girl who saved you is Richard Carter's daughter.
00:42:35Apparently, she goes to your school.
00:42:37Because she's good.
00:42:38Real.
00:42:39The kind of good this world doesn't deserve.
00:42:43Just make sure everything's perfect.
00:42:49Tomorrow, Madison says yes.
00:42:54Can you believe it?
00:42:55Vanderbilt booked the entire floor just to tell Madison he likes her.
00:42:59There's a firework show, too.
00:43:00Supposed to spell her name over Fifth Avenue.
00:43:02Lucky Beach.
00:43:03God.
00:43:03Why did this kind of guy never go for me?
00:43:05Everything's just how you wanted it.
00:43:07Happy?
00:43:11Sir, it's time.
00:43:13Should I cue the band and fireworks?
00:43:16She's not here yet.
00:43:17Give it some more time.
00:43:18Yes, sir.
00:43:23It's been four hours.
00:43:24Where the hell is Maddie?
00:43:26Hate to say it, man, but you might have been stood up.
00:43:29She wouldn't just disappear unless something happened.
00:43:33Find where she is.
00:43:34Now.
00:43:46Sir, Miss Carter's fine.
00:43:48She's been out shopping with her friends all day, and she's at a bridal boutique right now,
00:43:53trying on wedding dresses.
00:43:54What?
00:43:56She's trying on wedding dresses?
00:43:58You haven't proposed yet?
00:44:00Please tell me she's not marrying someone else.
00:44:03The boutique.
00:44:04Now.
00:44:10I called ahead.
00:44:11The manager's coming down personally.
00:44:18I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:44:19The store's closed for a private fitting.
00:44:21No walk-ins.
00:44:22I'm looking for Madison Carter.
00:44:24Oh.
00:44:25You're here for Miss Carter.
00:44:26Unfortunately, she explicitly asked not to be disturbed.
00:44:29You'll have to leave.
00:44:30Move.
00:44:31Oh, sweetheart, no.
00:44:33This is an exclusive atelier, not a department store.
00:44:36We cater to a certain caliber of clientele.
00:44:42I suggest you leave before security gets involved.
00:44:46Here's not your banner, Ryan.
00:44:48Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
00:44:51This is Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:44:56Sir, please accept my deepest apologies.
00:44:58Allow me to take you to Miss Carter myself.
00:45:12You're really not going to see the bodyguard?
00:45:15He's been waiting all day.
00:45:17Please.
00:45:18I'd have to lose my mind to show up.
00:45:20I know exactly what he's planning.
00:45:22Probably some dramatic love conflession.
00:45:24A bodyguard thinking he's boyfriend material.
00:45:27Cute.
00:45:28We honestly thought you dragged us here to pick a dress for him.
00:45:32Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:45:34I'm preparing to be Mrs. Vanderbilt.
00:45:38Ryan?
00:45:39He's barely qualified to steam the gown.
00:45:44He really treats you well, though.
00:45:46The guy literally threw himself in front of a car for you.
00:45:52Dove into the ocean, carved your name into his chest, and you feel nothing?
00:45:58And you said he invited you to the Rainbow Room?
00:46:00That's not exactly cheap.
00:46:02The man's clearly serious.
00:46:05The Rainbow Room's gorgeous, sure.
00:46:07But on his salary, he's lucky to get a table near the kitchen.
00:46:11I'm not in the mood to embarrass myself.
00:46:13Then why not just tell him no?
00:46:15Feels cruel to ring him along like this.
00:46:19Because, sweetie, every queen needs a guard dog.
00:46:23He's hot, protective, and hopelessly devoted.
00:46:30And the best part?
00:46:32Iris is in love with him.
00:46:36Just picturing her little heart breaking every time he chooses me.
00:46:41God.
00:46:43It's intoxicating.
00:46:45You really hate her that much?
00:46:46Oh, hate doesn't begin to cover it.
00:46:49Because of her and her sanctimonious beach of a mother, I was called a bastard for years.
00:46:59I'm telling you, the only tragedy about that church fire three years ago is that she survived it.
00:47:07Three years ago?
00:47:09Church?
00:47:10Fire?
00:47:10Wait, are you seriously saying you started that fire?
00:47:13Of course it was me.
00:47:15My father was supposed to take me to that church that day, but I faked a stomach ache and he
00:47:20took Iris instead.
00:47:21Then, I got someone to light the match.
00:47:24You could have killed your father.
00:47:26So, if he died, all the Carter money would have gone straight to me.
00:47:30Win-win.
00:47:31But that's not what really bothers me.
00:47:34What really sucks is...
00:47:37That bitch crawled her ass out alive.
00:47:40You know what the funny thing is?
00:47:43Didn't you say she ended up with a bad case of PTSD from that fire?
00:47:48That counts as revenge.
00:47:50Funny thing is, she was already out before the fire got out of control.
00:47:58But St. Iris had to run back and play hero.
00:48:01She deserved so much worse than a stupid phobia.
00:48:04But I thought you were the one with the phobia.
00:48:06Everyone says so.
00:48:07Oh, that story?
00:48:08See, I waved a lighter at Iris once and the drama queen lost her damn mind screaming like she was
00:48:13on fire.
00:48:14Dad and half the house came running, so I flipped it.
00:48:17A few tears and I'm the poor baby sister being bullied.
00:48:21That shit up.
00:48:22They love a victim.
00:48:24All you have to do is look sad and cry pretty.
00:48:28All this time, I was so wrong.
00:48:32The girl who saved me was Iris.
00:48:36God.
00:48:37What the hell have I done?
00:48:42Who's out there?
00:48:45Sir.
00:48:51Do not tell her I was here.
00:48:53Understood?
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:54Really.
00:48:58Sir, why don't we just go in?
00:48:59Didn't you hear what she said?
00:49:00Iris was the one who saved you and Madison...
00:49:02I heard.
00:49:03No.
00:49:04Exposing her now makes it too easy.
00:49:07I want her to pay properly.
00:49:10Organize a charity reception in my name at the Glass House this weekend.
00:49:14Invite every notable family in the city.
00:49:16Make sure Richard and Madison show up.
00:49:19Tell them I'm announcing something big.
00:49:24Yes, sir.
00:49:37Why?
00:49:40Why didn't I see this sooner?
00:49:43My God, I'm such a buster asshole.
00:49:45How could I put you go through all this?
00:49:51Iris, just wait for me.
00:49:56I'm going to make sure everyone who's hurt you gets what's coming to them.
00:50:02Every.
00:50:03Single.
00:50:05One.
00:50:17God, this is huge.
00:50:19Only the son of America's richest man could throw something like this.
00:50:23You're telling me.
00:50:24He literally bought out an entire auction for Maddie, then topped it off with a birthday gift worth a penthouse.
00:50:33Mr. Carter, great to see you again.
00:50:35I'm the CEO of Sterling Corp.
00:50:36You came over a while back to top a possible partnership, remember?
00:50:39Oh, I remember.
00:50:41Your security wouldn't let me through the door.
00:50:43Right.
00:50:45That was a mix-up on my end.
00:50:47My apologies.
00:50:48Actually, I've got the contract with me tonight.
00:50:51One signature, and we can get things moving immediately.
00:50:55Rumor has it, Mr. Vanderbilt's taken quite an interest in your daughter.
00:50:59Word around the room is, maybe a proposal's in the cards tonight, a merger of the two families?
00:51:09You're very well informed.
00:51:12Don't worry.
00:51:13Once Maddie marries into the Vanderbilt family, I'll make sure to put in a good word for you.
00:51:20That would be incredible, Mr. Carter.
00:51:22Thank you so much.
00:51:28A low-born upstart trying to play in the big langs.
00:51:33Without Vanderbilt, he's just a joke in a suit.
00:51:37Wouldn't even make it past my lobby.
00:51:41Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Vanderbilt has arrived.
00:52:01Ryan, what, you're Vanderbilt?
00:52:05Wait, isn't he Maddie's bodyguard?
00:52:08Oh my god.
00:52:09A billionaire?
00:52:11Posing as a bodyguard for love?
00:52:14I've only seen this in soup operas!
00:52:18So the guy who's been protecting me all this time?
00:52:22Is Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:52:24No wonder he bought out the entire auction and showered me with those absurdly expensive gifts.
00:52:31You have always spoiled me, Ryan.
00:52:35I can't believe it's him.
00:52:37The heir to the Vanderbilt Empire is completely obsessed with me.
00:52:42I've officially won the game.
00:52:45Rye!
00:52:47Mr. Vanderbilt, forgive me, I must be losing my touch.
00:52:50How could I have missed it?
00:52:52You wear that name so well.
00:52:54My sincerest apologies for treating you like staff.
00:52:59If only I had known...
00:53:00Thank you all for joining me tonight.
00:53:02Before we get started, I have something important to announce.
00:53:05As many of you know, I've recently taken quite a special interest in Miss Carter.
00:53:13And the reason for that is simple.
00:53:17I'm helping my uncle find a wife.
00:53:21Uncle?
00:53:23Ryan?
00:53:24What are you talking about?
00:53:33Ryan, you've got excellent taste.
00:53:35She's even more charming than I expected.
00:53:37Allow me to introduce my uncle, David Black.
00:53:40He's been widowed for many years and has been searching for a kind, caring wife.
00:53:46No.
00:53:48This can't be.
00:53:52Ryan, you're joking, right?
00:53:54He's...
00:53:55He's old enough to be my grandfather.
00:53:59Just who do you think you are to touch Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:54:04Mr. Vanderbilt, surely there's been some misunderstanding?
00:54:08There's no misunderstanding.
00:54:10My uncle is very satisfied with your daughter.
00:54:12Once she agrees to the marriage, our families can develop a long-term partnership.
00:54:19A partnership, huh?
00:54:22Daddy, you can't be serious.
00:54:25You are going to make me marry this...
00:54:26This gross old man?
00:54:27Enough!
00:54:28That's your fiancé!
00:54:38Mr. Vanderbilt, consider it settled.
00:54:41We're ready to go to the registry office anytime.
00:54:47Sounds perfect.
00:55:00This isn't how it was supposed to be!
00:55:02It's not supposed to be like this!
00:55:04Ryan!
00:55:05You said you wanted me!
00:55:07Why are you doing this to me?
00:55:09The girl I wanted was the one who saved me in that church fire three years ago.
00:55:14Not you.
00:55:16What are you talking about?
00:55:19I was wrong.
00:55:21I thought you were her, but the one who actually saved me was Iris.
00:55:31So you can go ahead and marry my uncle.
00:55:33You'll be the perfect wife.
00:55:36Take my uncle and Miss Carter to the registry office.
00:55:38Now!
00:55:38No!
00:55:40Let go of me!
00:55:41I don't want this!
00:55:43Ryan!
00:55:43Please!
00:55:44Don't do this!
00:55:48No!
00:55:50No!
00:55:50No!
00:55:51No!
00:55:53No!
00:55:53No!
00:56:02No!
00:56:02No!
00:56:02Go ahead!
00:56:06From this moment on, I, Ryan Vanderbilt, is cutting off the Carter Group.
00:56:12Any company that partners with them will find themselves in direct opposition to me.
00:56:26No, no, wait, Mr. Vanderbilt, didn't you just say we'd be entering a long-term partnership?
00:56:32You actually believe that?
00:56:38Sir, just got word from the headquarters.
00:56:41Our accounts have been frozen.
00:56:42The bank, Carter Group, is officially...
00:56:54Iris, I've made sure everyone who's hurt you is paid.
00:56:57Just hang on. I'm coming for you.
00:57:05Book the earliest flight to Florida.
00:57:07Yes, sir.
00:57:11Sir, news just came in.
00:57:13Miss Carter's wedding is set for... today.
00:57:16Wedding?
00:57:17Isn't Liam Archibald a vegetable?
00:57:19He woke up the day Miss Carter arrived in Florida.
00:57:32Is this the man I meant to marry?
00:57:36It's a shame.
00:57:37The hero who once led armies and made headlines, now trapped in this bed.
00:57:42But I've chosen this marriage.
00:57:44For rich and for poor, in sickness and in health.
00:57:48I'll stand by you.
00:57:49I swear it.
00:57:52Why am I even saying all this?
00:57:54Not like you can actually hear me.
00:57:56Well, at least if I mess up, or say the wrong thing, you won't be able to yell at me.
00:58:02You're stuck with me now.
00:58:04No complaints.
00:58:11Oh my god.
00:58:13Liam, do you remember us?
00:58:16Mom.
00:58:17Oh!
00:58:19Come on.
00:58:20Lucky.
00:58:25Welcome back, son.
00:58:27We've been waiting a long time for this moment.
00:58:29Liam's awake soon.
00:58:31He'll return to his world.
00:58:33Medals, applause, and glory.
00:58:35But me?
00:58:38Maybe the Archibald family will tear up the engagement.
00:58:41After all, I wasn't even the one he agreed to marry.
00:58:46Iris.
00:58:48It was you who brought Liam back.
00:58:54Me?
00:58:56Mrs. Archibald, you really don't need to thank me.
00:58:59Liam recovered all by himself.
00:59:00No, Iris.
00:59:01I know Liam's condition better than anyone.
00:59:04He fought hard to wake up.
00:59:06Because of you.
00:59:13Mom, you make me sound like I'm made of glass.
00:59:15You are.
00:59:16Until the doctor says otherwise.
00:59:17And don't you dare talk back to your mother right now.
00:59:24All right, ma'am.
00:59:25You win.
00:59:28Mom, could I have a moment alone with my fiancé?
00:59:31If he gives you any trouble, just yell.
00:59:33I'll come in swinging.
00:59:36I will.
00:59:39Good luck, son.
00:59:48This engagement between the Archibald and Carter families was arranged by our parents.
00:59:53I know you didn't agree to marry me.
00:59:56Since you're awake now, we can cancel it if you want.
01:00:03No.
01:00:05The engagement stays.
01:00:10You really don't know why I agreed to this marriage?
01:00:14I agreed to it not for the Carter name, but because of your mother, Rose.
01:00:19My mother?
01:00:20Your mother and mine grew up together.
01:00:22They were like sisters.
01:00:23They promised each other that if they ever had a son and a daughter, we'd marry.
01:00:28After Rose passed, we tried to get you out of the Carter house.
01:00:31But your father refused.
01:00:33Until I became a colonel.
01:00:34Suddenly, the marriage was back on the table.
01:00:36I finally had a chance to take you away.
01:00:38I would have never married your sister, Iris.
01:00:42The woman I want to marry is you.
01:00:47I've been out for a while.
01:00:48The world has changed.
01:00:50But I swear to you, I'll protect you for the rest of my life.
01:00:53I believe you.
01:00:54From now on, whatever the Archibald family has, it's yours too.
01:00:57Anything you want, just say the word, and it's yours.
01:01:04We barely knew each other before all this.
01:01:07But now we can figure it out together.
01:01:09Give me a chance to win your heart.
01:01:13Okay.
01:01:33It's okay.
01:01:35I need you.
01:01:40Emily!
01:01:41Yes, sir.
01:01:42I told you not to use the fireplace.
01:01:44I'm so sorry, Mr. Archibald.
01:01:46I forgot I'll take care of it right away.
01:01:47Don't let it happen again.
01:01:51How did you know I was afraid of fire?
01:01:53I know everything about you, Iris.
01:02:02What do you think?
01:02:12Your arm!
01:02:14I'm fine.
01:02:16Are you okay?
01:02:24Your arm, it really doesn't hurt?
01:02:27It's just a scratch.
01:02:31Is that a ring?
01:02:33But your family sent me one already.
01:02:35Open it.
01:02:40This is yours.
01:02:43Iris, I swore an oath to my country.
01:02:46This medal carries that promise.
01:02:48My honor and my pride.
01:02:50Now, I'm giving it to you.
01:02:57From this day forward,
01:02:59every honor that bears my name will be
01:03:02yours too.
01:03:05Will you stand beside me
01:03:08for life?
01:03:10I love you.
01:03:30Oh my god, the bride is gorgeous.
01:03:35They say she's the reason
01:03:36Colonel Archibald
01:03:37miraculously recovered.
01:03:39She must be his good luck charm.
01:03:41From the moment I came into
01:03:43the Archibald family,
01:03:44they've been nothing but kind.
01:03:46No arrogance or judgment.
01:03:48Even the guests are gracious.
01:03:50Not one person's brought up the Carters.
01:03:53He really is
01:03:55keeping me safe.
01:04:02Dearly beloved,
01:04:03we are gathered here
01:04:05to witness the union
01:04:06of Colonel Liam Archibald
01:04:08and Miss Iris Carter.
01:04:10Liam,
01:04:11do you take Iris
01:04:13to be your wife,
01:04:14to have and to hold,
01:04:15in sickness and in health?
01:04:17I do.
01:04:19And Iris,
01:04:20do you take Liam
01:04:21to be your husband,
01:04:23for better or worse,
01:04:24for as long as you both
01:04:25shall live?
01:04:26I do.
01:04:28If anyone here
01:04:29objects to this union,
01:04:30speak now
01:04:31or forever hold
01:04:33your peace.
01:04:34Very well.
01:04:35By the power vested in me,
01:04:37I now pronounce...
01:04:42I object!
01:04:43I object!
01:04:54Please don't marry him,
01:04:55Iris.
01:05:00Isn't that the Vanderbilt heir?
01:05:02I hear his family
01:05:02owns half of New York.
01:05:04He just crashed the wedding.
01:05:05Is he here to fight
01:05:06for the bride?
01:05:08A billionaire love confession
01:05:10at a colonel's ceremony?
01:05:11That's one hell of a headline.
01:05:13Ryan,
01:05:14what is he doing here?
01:05:18Iris, please.
01:05:20Don't marry him.
01:05:23What the hell
01:05:24are you doing here?
01:05:26Shouldn't you be
01:05:26with your precious Madison?
01:05:28Iris,
01:05:29it was never Madison.
01:05:31It was you.
01:05:33You're the one
01:05:34who saved me
01:05:35from that fire
01:05:35three years ago.
01:05:37You're the one
01:05:38I've been looking for
01:05:38all along.
01:05:40And I was too blind
01:05:41to see it.
01:05:48The fire was everywhere.
01:05:49I couldn't see a thing.
01:05:51That boy,
01:05:52it was Ryan.
01:05:53From that moment,
01:05:54I fell for you.
01:05:55I was an idiot.
01:05:56I got it wrong.
01:05:58I mistook Madison
01:05:59for you.
01:06:02But now I know
01:06:03the truth.
01:06:04Madison's been
01:06:05feeding me lies.
01:06:06You're the one
01:06:07who suffered
01:06:08in the Carter House.
01:06:09You're the one
01:06:09who's terrified of fire.
01:06:12And because of what
01:06:13she and her mother did,
01:06:16your mother died.
01:06:19Iris,
01:06:20I'm sorry.
01:06:22I'm so sorry.
01:06:26So what, Ryan?
01:06:28You think an apology
01:06:30erases everything
01:06:31I've lived through?
01:06:36Iris,
01:06:37I was wrong.
01:06:38I swear
01:06:40I'll spend the rest
01:06:41of my life
01:06:41making this right.
01:06:43make it right?
01:06:45Have you forgotten
01:06:46what you did
01:06:47for Madison
01:06:47at my expense?
01:06:48You bought out
01:06:49an entire auction
01:06:50just to stroke
01:06:51her ego.
01:06:52She says one word
01:06:53and you're already
01:06:53diving for pearls,
01:06:55carving her name
01:06:55into your skin.
01:06:57You protected her
01:06:58while you let me bleed.
01:06:59And when I accidentally
01:07:00splashed her,
01:07:01you locked me
01:07:01in a freezer
01:07:02and nearly froze
01:07:03me to death.
01:07:04I'm sorry.
01:07:06I swear
01:07:07I'm sorry.
01:07:08Please,
01:07:09Iris,
01:07:09just give me
01:07:10another chance.
01:07:14Don't touch me.
01:07:16I've already
01:07:17taken care of
01:07:18everyone here,
01:07:18Hutch.
01:07:19Madison and Richard,
01:07:20they've paid.
01:07:22Madison's married
01:07:23to my 80-year-old uncle.
01:07:26Your father's
01:07:27company is ruined.
01:07:28Enough,
01:07:29Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:07:30This is my wedding.
01:07:31Iris is my bride.
01:07:33You just woke up.
01:07:35How much could you
01:07:35possibly feel for her?
01:07:37Hand Iris back to me
01:07:38and I'll make you a deal.
01:07:39From now on,
01:07:40I'll step away
01:07:41from any business.
01:07:42The Archibalds
01:07:43and Vanderbilt
01:07:44builds would compete over.
01:07:56All his business?
01:07:57That's astronomical.
01:07:59Even the smallest
01:07:59Vanderbilt deal
01:08:00is worth billions.
01:08:01Archibald has
01:08:02to take that deal.
01:08:04No way he'll give up
01:08:05a prize eye that big
01:08:05for a woman.
01:08:06No.
01:08:07Iris is my wife.
01:08:09Not something
01:08:10to be traded.
01:08:11Now leave.
01:08:13Get out!
01:08:15Iris,
01:08:16come with me.
01:08:17I swear
01:08:18I'll make it right.
01:08:20No.
01:08:21I will not.
01:08:23Please,
01:08:24continue.
01:08:27Continue
01:08:27and see
01:08:28what happens!
01:08:36Sir,
01:08:38everything's ready out there.
01:08:46What the hell
01:08:47are you doing now?
01:08:49I've wired this place
01:08:51with explosives.
01:08:52If you don't leave with me,
01:08:54everyone in this room
01:08:55dies!
01:09:02Have you gone insane?
01:09:04Yes!
01:09:05You're about to marry
01:09:06someone else!
01:09:07Of course I've gone insane!
01:09:11Ryan,
01:09:12what do you want
01:09:13from me?
01:09:15Come with me,
01:09:16please.
01:09:19That's not happening.
01:09:25Then we die together.
01:09:33Then we die together.
01:09:41You can count us in.
01:09:45Miss Carter,
01:09:47I don't want to die.
01:09:48My daughter is waiting
01:09:49for me to come home.
01:09:51Please,
01:09:52just go back
01:09:52with Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:09:53Please,
01:09:54Miss Carter,
01:09:54just go with him.
01:09:56Please,
01:09:56we don't want to die.
01:10:01fine.
01:10:02You want me?
01:10:03I'm giving you
01:10:04seven days.
01:10:06After that,
01:10:06I swear I'll kill myself
01:10:08before I spend
01:10:08another day with you.
01:10:11Deal.
01:10:15Iris,
01:10:16don't go with him.
01:10:19Trust me,
01:10:20I'll come back to you
01:10:21in seven days.
01:10:25Wait!
01:10:30There's something
01:10:31important in here.
01:10:33Read it when you can.
01:10:58If you try to take me back to New York,
01:11:00I'll kill myself right here.
01:11:01All right.
01:11:04You like Florida?
01:11:06We'll stay right here.
01:11:07I just bought a villa in Palm Beach.
01:11:10You'll love it.
01:11:11I'll kill myself.
01:11:12All right.
01:11:34This room,
01:11:37It's exactly like my mother's, before she died.
01:11:40Do you like it?
01:11:41Of course.
01:11:42This is what you do.
01:11:43The gifts, the promises, the drama.
01:11:46I've already seen these tricks on Madison.
01:11:48You were ready to freeze me to death chasing a fantasy you called love.
01:11:52Iris, I'll make it up to you.
01:11:54What's done is done.
01:11:55How can you fix something already broken in the past?
01:12:23You made all this?
01:12:24Everything you love.
01:12:30Learned this from Madison, didn't you?
01:12:36Please.
01:12:37Let's not talk about her.
01:12:40Oh, I'm going to talk, alright?
01:12:49If I remember right, Madison had a sweet tooth.
01:12:55You used to make desserts for her all the time, didn't you?
01:13:01When you dove into that reef for her pearls, did it ever cross your mind you might die down there?
01:13:10And when she saw her name carved across your chest, did she cry?
01:13:16Did she finally believe you loved her?
01:13:32Iris!
01:13:35Let go!
01:13:48Cut it out.
01:13:50What?
01:13:51You don't like the font?
01:13:54Don't move.
01:14:05There.
01:14:07Do you feel any better?
01:14:11Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me.
01:14:14Not anymore.
01:14:25Where are you taking me?
01:14:27Let me go!
01:14:43What are you doing?
01:14:54I locked you in the freezer for two hours.
01:14:57I'm paying for what I did.
01:14:58The key is in your hands now.
01:15:00My life is yours to decide.
01:15:01You think this makes things right?
01:15:04Not right.
01:15:05Just...
01:15:05Even.
01:15:06I drafted a new will.
01:15:08If I die today, every cent of the Vanderbilt fortune goes to you.
01:15:14You expect me to believe that?
01:15:17It's true, Iris.
01:15:19Every word.
01:15:21Fine.
01:15:22Then go in.
01:15:23I won't feel a thing.
01:15:47So this...
01:15:48This is how cold she felt.
01:15:54It's been two and a half hours, Ms. Carter.
01:15:56Please, open the door.
01:15:58He'll die in there.
01:16:14Sir!
01:16:15Sir!
01:16:16Wake up!
01:16:16Please!
01:16:17Ryan, the cruelest revenge isn't hate.
01:16:19It's indifference.
01:16:20You'd die for me, and I'd let you.
01:16:22Because you're the reason I went numb in the first place.
01:16:29Don't go, Iris.
01:16:31I love you.
01:16:32I do.
01:16:47Don't go.
01:16:48Tell me your name.
01:16:51Iris.
01:16:52My name's Iris.
01:16:54Iris.
01:16:55I'll remember.
