00:52fine it doesn't really matter what he looks like anymore

06:14who I am yes I've been looking for you for three years or Alice the one and only successor to
06:19the
06:19world's best neurosurgeon so that's what he means three years married and he doesn't even know my face
06:24of course not so the guarantee stepping in front of that bottle all of that was because I'm Alice
06:31yes your hands couldn't be risen even so what does that have to do with you mr. Reed there's a
06:38surgery
06:38I need done I've been to every specialist I can find no one will take the case he helped me
06:44today
06:45we're even one surgery then we're done for good I once heard the housekeeper mention that there's
06:50someone Lucas never got over is this her three months at most the fragment is pressing on her
06:56optic nerve she's already blind her hearing is probably going to that's right the window was a
07:02year ago why wasn't she operated on best odds anyone could give me were 50 50 I couldn't accept that
07:10that's how much he loves her but then again why did he agree to marry me three years ago
07:14a backup plan just in case she didn't make it bottom line he's trash total trash
07:20what if I'm not easy to find or what if I can't guarantee the surgery works you've waited this
07:25long what if she doesn't make it off the table as long as you're alive I'll find you unbelievable
07:31you've been gambling with someone else's life this whole time and you think that makes you devoted
07:34fine I've looked it over but I need to see the patient myself before I decide anything I know her
07:38condition inside and out I can speak on her behalf speak on her behalf she's the one whose life is
07:43at
07:43stake I'm responsible for my patient not you if that's how you want to do this then I'm sorry
07:49I can't take the case why is she so hostile to me

21:14I changed my mind
21:15sorry
21:15Dr. Lane
21:17there's being greedy
21:18and then there's pushing it
21:19greedy?
21:20you're rich Mr. Reed
21:21but I'm not short on money
21:22a hundred million honestly
21:23doesn't do much for me
21:24really?

21:40if I didn't have to keep
21:41a low profile
21:42I would have called you out already
21:44what's the matter Mr. Reed?
21:45get cold feet?
21:46or maybe you just don't love her
21:47enough to do something this small
21:49Dr. Lane
21:50a hundred million is serious money
21:52if it's not enough
21:53I can go higher
21:53so that's a no
21:55exit's that way
21:55goodbye

22:07Dr. Lane wasn't lying
22:09take care of those three
22:11make it right on Dr. Lane's behalf

22:24feelings for you
22:25for me?
22:27feelings for me?
22:28so she's jealous
22:29that's why she wanted me to

22:47and didn't recognize her
22:48that'd only make it worse
22:48you've got an image to protect
22:50sir

34:56on the big boss
34:56behind Nexus Tech
34:57no idea why
34:58they get involved
34:59Nexus is our biggest competitor
35:00for the overseas market
35:01we can't expand internationally
35:03with them in the way
35:03look into the person

35:05as soon as you find anything
35:12Dr. Lane
35:16Ethan
35:16you're finally back
35:17business kept me off sores

36:08digging into Nexus Tech's ownership

38:48no
38:50she never came to me in three years
38:52I can't go to her now
38:53and I don't want her involved
38:57Dr. Lane you've gone too far

39:03no way
39:04I always thought she seemed decent

39:13who else would it be?
39:14I can't speak for everyone else
39:15but I'd take a closer look at yourself
