00:00:04Who the hell are you?
00:00:11Please, you need to help me.
00:00:19Uh, sorry. Just some randos. Keep searching.
00:00:25Uh, my family's trying to marry me off to a total stranger. Please, you need help me get out of
00:00:28here.
00:00:29She couldn't be my runaway bride, could she? Then I can't let her go.
00:00:33Look, let's just calm down, alright? Why are you running?
00:00:36I am too young and too cute to be married off to some cold-blooded freak.
00:00:41Who are you talking about?
00:00:43Who else? The CEO of Ashburn Group, Mr. Reed.
00:00:47I heard he's impotent and I don't want to waste my youth stuck in some dead-end marriage.
00:00:53Impotent? Just because I turned down a few social lights doesn't make me-
00:00:56Wait, please, sir. Just help me this one time. I promise I'll make it up to you.
00:01:01If I don't get her to marry me today, my parents will strip me of my inheritance.
00:01:04Oh, I'm sure you will. Marry me, and I'll get you out of all of this.
00:01:10What's so funny?
00:01:16There she is. Let's get her.
00:01:21Please, sir, you have to help me.
00:01:22Why?
00:01:23Don't!
00:01:25Fine, I'll marry you. And if I'm married, my family can't force me into anything.
00:01:28No.
00:01:30Just drive.
00:01:31Just drive!
00:01:35Kate! Kate! Kate! Kate!
00:01:39What's that?
00:01:42Kate! Kate!
00:01:47Wait, Frank Reed? You're a Reed, too?
00:01:51Please don't tell me you're related to the Ashburn Group.
00:01:54Of course not.
00:01:56I'm just you.
00:01:58Just a real guy.
00:02:03Your car doesn't exactly scream regular.
00:02:10Yeah, um...
00:02:12It's my bosses.
00:02:14I'm just his driver.
00:02:17It's okay.
00:02:19I'm broke, too.
00:02:21So what's the rush to get me to marry you?
00:02:23You know, believe it or not, I was supposed to get married today, too.
00:02:26Just like you, my bride ran off.
00:02:29So if I don't bring someone home to my parents...
00:02:33They'll never let me hear the end of it.
00:02:35Your bride ran off.
00:02:37Gosh, she is really missing out.
00:02:39The burning bright and truth leads us along love's way.
00:02:45My body trembles...
00:02:47Okay.
00:02:48I'll play along.
00:02:49You rescued me from my wedding.
00:02:51So I'll help you with your parents.
00:02:53Consider it done.
00:02:56Deal.
00:02:59These are my parents, Steven, and my beautiful mother Carrie.
00:03:04Mom and Dad, this is my wife, Kate.
00:03:07Mom and Dad, it's nice to finally meet you.
00:03:10Uh, Frank, can I have a word with you?
00:03:13Of course, Dad.
00:03:16You little rascal, what's going on?
00:03:21We'd show up at your wedding only to hear the bride bolted.
00:03:24Who is she?
00:03:25Dad, she did run away.
00:03:28But I found her.
00:03:32I'll explain it a little later, okay?
00:03:33Dad.
00:03:36Kate.
00:03:39Oh, yes.
00:03:41This is a wedding gift...
00:03:44For you.
00:03:48Looks like Mom's serious.
00:03:51She even brought up the family element.
00:03:54Oh, Carrie, I can't accept this.
00:03:56This is too nice.
00:03:59Hey, babe.
00:04:00Uh, it's fake.
00:04:01Just take it.
00:04:02Or Mom will be upset.
00:04:05Thanks, Mom.
00:04:07I have something for you too, Kate.
00:04:18Dad.
00:04:19She doesn't know I'm the CEO of the Ashborn Group.
00:04:22If she finds out that I'm the cold-blooded freak that she ran away from, she'll probably take off again.
00:04:28So let's just, uh, get it away for now.
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:34Stephen, you said you had a gift for me too?
00:04:37Uh, yeah, it's waiting for you in your wedding suite.
00:04:50Just a little push to help give us a grandchild.
00:04:53Mm-hmm.
00:05:06It's locked.
00:05:07It seems like my parents are definitely enthusiastic about this.
00:05:16I guess so, your dad got me this.
00:05:27What are you doing?
00:05:30What?
00:05:31You expecting me to keep my clothes on for our wedding night?
00:05:34Uh...
00:05:38I thought this was just an act.
00:05:42My parents are spying on us through the window.
00:05:45Don't look.
00:05:47Help me out.
00:05:48Please.
00:05:59Help me out.
00:06:01Help me out.
00:06:01Help me out.
00:06:01Help me out.
00:06:01Help me out.
00:06:03Help me out.
00:06:06Help me out.
00:06:08Help me out.
00:06:10Help me out.
00:06:14Help me out.
00:06:17Help me out.
00:06:17Help me out.
00:06:19Help me out.
00:06:20Help me out.
00:06:21Help me out.
00:06:22Help me out.
00:06:23Help me out.
00:06:41Oh, I'm so sorry about that.
00:06:44It's okay, it was just acting.
00:06:47Right.
00:06:49Well, I guess you take the bad end.
00:06:54I'll take the floor.
00:07:07Way to ruin a good dream.
00:07:22You enjoying the view there, Kate?
00:07:24Oh, God.
00:07:26Oh, God.
00:07:31You know you are my wife.
00:07:33You can look like I want.
00:07:36I'm gonna go freshen up.
00:07:42Oh, my God.
00:07:45It's too much.
00:07:47Why am I picturing this?
00:07:50No, Kate.
00:07:52Focus.
00:07:54You don't have to go into work today?
00:07:57I guess you can stay on the farm with my parents.
00:08:05Hey, Mom.
00:08:06Here, let me.
00:08:07You know, I grew up on my grandmother's farm, so it's second nature to me.
00:08:10Frank, you lucky boy.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:12Hey, I'll go make something for you to eat then.
00:08:30How the hell did my family find me here?
00:08:43You little bitch.
00:08:45Hiding out here, huh?
00:08:46Mr. Reed canceled the wedding and killed the contract.
00:08:49He just cost me a damn fortune.
00:08:51We are going to apologize to Mr. Reed today, and you're coming with us.
00:08:55We'll be discussing setting a new wedding date.
00:08:58Stop right there.
00:08:59If you want to suck up to that cold-hearted bastard, then send your precious daughter, Rebecca.
00:09:03Not me.
00:09:04I'm married.
00:09:06To the owner of this farm.
00:09:14What?
00:09:15You got married to someone else?
00:09:19I'll make you regret it.
00:09:24You want to lay a hand on my daughter-in-law?
00:09:28You want to get to me first?
00:09:34Yeah?
00:09:35Son, you need to get home now.
00:09:37They're trying to take Kate, and they're hurting your dad.
00:09:40I'll be right there.
00:09:41Tell everybody to gear up.
00:09:43We've got problems solved now.
00:09:50You dare threaten me, you filthy peasant.
00:09:53Grab them both.
00:09:54Leave them out of this.
00:09:57Stop.
00:09:58My son is on his way.
00:09:59If you hurt my daughter-in-law, he will make you pay.
00:10:03Oh, perfect.
00:10:04Another peasant who smells like manure.
00:10:07And what's your son going to do?
00:10:08Come at me with a pitchfork?
00:10:10Well, get her, too.
00:10:12Let's go, Wade.
00:10:21Give up.
00:10:22Or these two old geezers are going to get it.
00:10:33Hurt them, and I will make you feel every bruise, every scream, every second of it!
00:10:48Oh, still playing the hero?
00:10:52You can't even save yourself, bitch.
00:10:54You damn brat!
00:10:56Touch her again, and I don't care what it takes!
00:10:58Just wait till my son gets here!
00:11:00You're finished!
00:11:02Oh.
00:11:03Oh.
00:11:05You're gonna finish us?
00:11:07Well, I'm gonna finish her first.
00:11:10Let's see what your son does about that!
00:11:12Oh!
00:11:13Oh!
00:11:14Ah!
00:11:18Stop!
00:11:26What's the rule on?
00:11:29Divide.
00:11:30Every head turn.
00:11:32When I arrive.
00:11:33Crowd invisible, they all see, gravity pulls them close to me.
00:11:45This, walking like the king with no apology.
00:11:51A pulse quiz.
00:11:55Something about the way he's looking right at me.
00:11:59Lightning when he moves, thunder in my chest.
00:12:03Never felt this before, but I'm already obsessed.
00:12:07He's a fever dream, standing running far to me.
00:12:12Lightning when he moves, and I can barely...
00:12:14Sweetheart, thank God you're here.
00:12:17They tried to kidnap me, and they hurt Mom and Dad.
00:12:19Who hit you?
00:12:21She did.
00:12:22She's been bullying me since we were kids.
00:12:26Whenever I fought back, she let Dad beat me.
00:12:29Alan?
00:12:31She laid her hand to my wife.
00:12:34Leave it to me, boss.
00:12:35What are you doing?
00:12:37I'm...
00:12:39How dare you, you low-license...
00:12:41Hey, what the hell's wrong with you?
00:12:43That's my daughter!
00:12:44And I'm taking Kate home!
00:12:46She's my daughter too, so back off!
00:12:49You're my father.
00:12:51In your fucking dreams, my son-in-law is Mr. Reed.
00:12:54The heir of the Ashbourne group.
00:12:56Not some dirt-scraping farmhand like you.
00:12:59Do you have any idea who we're talking to?
00:13:01This man is...
00:13:02Forget about it, Alan.
00:13:06If this man can't accept me as his son-in-law...
00:13:10Well, Kate is his daughter.
00:13:12He's not worth mercy.
00:13:15Understood.
00:13:16You heard the boss.
00:13:17Rock him up.
00:13:22Okay, we're out.
00:13:23Oh, no.
00:13:24Oh, no.
00:13:35Sweetheart, what's with all the flashy cars and bodyguards?
00:13:38Is there something you're not telling me?
00:13:41Well, I...
00:13:42I rented all the cars and these guys, they're...
00:13:50They're my buddies from work.
00:13:52And, uh, they, uh, they all came to back us up when I heard there was trouble at home.
00:14:01Well, then, if there's nothing else, we'll head out.
00:14:08You sure have some tough-looking buddies.
00:14:14You don't think Kate's husband could really be someone important, do you?
00:14:18Oh, honey, please.
00:14:20Certainly not as important as Mr. Reed.
00:14:23I don't bet he hired actors to be those bodyguards.
00:14:25Exactly, Mom.
00:14:27If he was really that loaded, his family wouldn't be living on some run-down pigsty.
00:14:31Okay, what's important here is how are we going to explain this mess to Mr. Reed.
00:14:37Rebecca, can we go?
00:14:39I'm burning up in here.
00:14:45Oh, great.
00:14:46My dad thinks if he cancels my credit card that I will come crawling back.
00:14:50I'd rather smoke toilets.
00:14:53Something sweet to help you forget about that.
00:14:59And, here, it's the second line of my account.
00:15:02It's all yours.
00:15:03Wait, why are you giving me money?
00:15:05Uh, just think of it as a payment.
00:15:09You know, for playing your part.
00:15:13And, uh, when my parents are around, make sure you play and I show love you, okay?
00:15:24Deal.
00:15:34Oh, sweetie.
00:15:37What are you doing?
00:15:39I'm just playing wife for the in-laws.
00:15:41You're welcome.
00:15:42Oh, goodness.
00:15:44Come on, just one bite, baby.
00:15:46Really, it's...
00:15:47Oh, don't let me go full rom-com on you.
00:16:04What the hell?
00:16:05Uh, just really, really good ice cream.
00:16:09I'm gonna go.
00:16:16Okay, so, let me get this straight.
00:16:19You ran away from your own wedding and married a total stranger?
00:16:24Yeah, but Frank's not actually that bad.
00:16:28Oh.
00:16:30Babe, you're in desperate need of a bachelorette party.
00:16:34Lucky for you, I already called in backup.
00:16:38Backup.
00:16:38Oh, boys.
00:16:43Lisa.
00:16:46Pick your favorite and take him home.
00:16:50You deserve some reckless fun.
00:17:01Uh, boss?
00:17:02The missus downstairs?
00:17:11She's wild.
00:17:14Uh, no wonder those rumors about your performance scared her off.
00:17:20Uh, boss?
00:17:21The billion-dollar contract?
00:17:22What the hell is happening?
00:17:24He'll be back shortly.
00:17:25He better.
00:17:32Hey, don't just stare at it.
00:17:34You've got to feel it.
00:17:40Um...
00:17:41Hey, let go.
00:17:41Come on.
00:17:43Loosen up.
00:17:44You're here to have a good time.
00:17:50Um, um, thank you.
00:17:51Um, I'm Mary.
00:17:55No, no, no.
00:17:56I'm Mary.
00:17:58Hands off.
00:18:02Excuse me.
00:18:03Who the fuck are you?
00:18:05Can't you see she's having fun?
00:18:07Having fun, aren't we?
00:18:08Uh, she's kidding.
00:18:10Lisa, this is my husband, Frank.
00:18:14Oh, right.
00:18:17I booked the strippers.
00:18:19Uh, they're all for me.
00:18:21Kate had no idea.
00:18:23I swear.
00:18:26Um, and why are you here?
00:18:30And why are you wearing a suit that costs more than my car?
00:18:33I, uh...
00:18:36I'm a part-time bartender here, actually.
00:18:38I, uh...
00:18:39Well, you know, this suit's just part of the uniform.
00:18:43He's really hustling.
00:18:45Driver by day, bartender by night.
00:18:47I need to be more careful with his money.
00:18:49Babe!
00:18:50You, uh, really hit the jackpot here.
00:18:54I mean, that face card and that body.
00:18:57Plus, he seems really reliable.
00:18:59Way better than that limp-dick CEO you almost married.
00:19:07Boss, you've really got to get back.
00:19:08Contract's waiting.
00:19:09I'll be right there.
00:19:11You?
00:19:12Stay put.
00:19:13I'll be right to pick you up on Tom.
00:19:17Thank you, guys.
00:19:19Big, you can go.
00:19:23Good job, boys.
00:19:33Oh, well, well.
00:19:36If it isn't my trashy stepsister.
00:19:38You've resorted to paying for friends now?
00:19:41How pathetic.
00:19:42You always acted so innocent when we were together.
00:19:45Guess it was just a cover-up for the slutty mess you really are.
00:19:49You got some nerve showing your face around here.
00:19:52You are a spineless joke.
00:19:54And you're a backstabbing tramp.
00:19:56The fuck did you just call me?
00:19:58Did she just lie?
00:19:59I mean, at least we had our fun out in the open.
00:20:01And you?
00:20:02You sneak around and steal my boyfriend.
00:20:04If that isn't backstabbing, then I don't know what is.
00:20:07Oh, please.
00:20:09Norman dumped you because he fell for me.
00:20:12Don't tell me you're still heartbroken over him.
00:20:15Heartbroken?
00:20:16Over him?
00:20:17I can't even believe I fell for this scumbag.
00:20:21Oh, you're such a bad liar.
00:20:23You married some stranger just to get back at me.
00:20:26Admit it.
00:20:27You still want me.
00:20:30Pleasure doing business with you.
00:20:32Likewise.
00:20:33Alan?
00:20:34You seem to have to call out for me.
00:20:36This way, please.
00:20:43Oh, my God.
00:20:45You have to be kidding.
00:20:46Have you seen yourself?
00:20:48I mean, why would I want you?
00:20:50You.
00:20:53You psycho bitch!
00:20:59Oh, she'll be okay.
00:21:03Norman!
00:21:04You bastard!
00:21:05What did I do?
00:21:06She slipped on her own.
00:21:09Oh!
00:21:11Oh!
00:21:12Who the fuck was that?
00:21:15What are you talking about?
00:21:17You just slipped on your own.
00:21:19You got a fucking death wish, asshole?
00:21:25Don't move.
00:21:26It'll reopen the cut.
00:21:33I swear to God, if you take one step closer to my wife, I will make sure your face is
00:21:37the
00:21:37next one to split up.
00:21:39You're Kate's husband?
00:21:40Oh, Norman, don't worry.
00:21:42He's just some poor farm guy.
00:21:45A poor farm guy, huh?
00:21:46I'll apologize to me, then.
00:21:48Lau!
00:21:49Then I'll let you off the hook.
00:21:51Otherwise, none of you are leaving here today.
00:21:52Hey, security!
00:21:56Bet you didn't know Norman's father manages this bar, did ya?
00:22:00Is that so?
00:22:02Please, don't make this worse.
00:22:03His dad really does manage this bar.
00:22:06I can handle this.
00:22:07Kate, you're my wife.
00:22:08Your problems are my problems now, okay?
00:22:14Okay.
00:22:16Let's get this over with, shall we?
00:22:18My wife's waiting on me.
00:22:21Fuckin' clueless loser.
00:22:23Get him!
00:22:34Go, go, go, go, go!
00:22:36I swear to God, I will not do anything to you.
00:22:38I promise I won't...
00:22:44Who the hell is causing trouble here?
00:22:48Dad, look!
00:22:48That fucking guy hit me!
00:22:51Who did this?
00:22:52I will fucking end him!
00:22:54I did.
00:22:56You.
00:23:00You're...
00:23:00The new part-time bartender you just hired?
00:23:03Yeah.
00:23:04And look, I'm sorry about all of this, but your son did start it by hurting my wife.
00:23:08This is on me.
00:23:10Frank had nothing to do with this.
00:23:11Please don't fire him.
00:23:13What the hell?
00:23:14Why is my boss, Mr. Reed, pretending to be a lowly employee?
00:23:18Guess I better play along.
00:23:20Dad, what are you waiting for?
00:23:21Do something!
00:23:22Kick him out!
00:23:22Get your mouth, you dumb little shit!
00:23:24What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:23:25Shut up!
00:23:28He works for me.
00:23:29She?
00:23:31She's a VIP.
00:23:32How could you be so stupid?
00:23:35Apologize to them.
00:23:36Now!
00:23:36Are you fucking serious right now?
00:23:38I'm your fucking son, and you're siding with the bartender?
00:23:42Sir, I swear Norman didn't do anything.
00:23:44It was this peasant Frank that started it.
00:23:47Peasants?
00:23:48Are you two out of your fucking minds?
00:23:50Security, get him out of here!
00:23:52You fucking can't, Dad.
00:23:54No, fuck that.
00:23:54What the fuck?
00:23:55I don't fuck you!
00:23:56I own you!
00:23:57I fucking own you!
00:23:58And fuck you, too!
00:24:02Boss.
00:24:03Boss?
00:24:11Boss?
00:24:12Boss!
00:24:13There you are.
00:24:18What is going on over here?
00:24:20Frank is a close friend of mine.
00:24:23Boss, this is all my son's fault.
00:24:25I sincerely apologize.
00:24:27My wife's hand has been injured.
00:24:29You think your apology is going to cover that?
00:24:31It's okay.
00:24:32I'm fine, really.
00:24:33Ma'am, I am truly sorry.
00:24:38There's a hundred grand for your trouble.
00:24:46A hundred grand.
00:24:49A hundred grand.
00:24:50Wow.
00:24:53Because you've been so generous, I'll let it slide.
00:24:57No one hears a word about this.
00:25:00Understood.
00:25:03Is it just me, or does your husband seem like the real boss around here?
00:25:12You're just overthinking it.
00:25:14He's just a really hardworking driver and bartender.
00:25:17Yeah, um, exactly.
00:25:19Helen's not just the owner of this bar.
00:25:21I mean, he's, he's also my boss.
00:25:24And, um, I'm his driver.
00:25:26That's right.
00:25:27I'm a full-on trustful baby!
00:25:30Um, don't worry.
00:25:32I take good care of Frank.
00:25:32But, anyways, it's, um, getting kind of late.
00:25:35We should probably leave.
00:25:46You, uh, look really happy.
00:25:49Are you kidding?
00:25:51I sliced my hand and walked away with a hundred grand.
00:25:55A hundred thousand dollars.
00:25:56I mean, I've never seen this much money in my life.
00:25:59Isn't your dad a business owner?
00:26:00I mean, did he never give you any kind of allowance?
00:26:04My dad never really cared for me.
00:26:06When my mom died, he married Elisa, and they had Rebecca.
00:26:10Elisa always hated me, so I grew up on my grandmother's farm with her,
00:26:14and my dad never gave me a dime.
00:26:16I had no idea she went through all that.
00:26:19And she still doesn't ask for anything.
00:26:23I've got to tell her the truth.
00:26:25Just, not yet.
00:26:29I promise I'm going to work hard and give you the life you deserve.
00:26:32No more struggle.
00:26:35I believe you.
00:26:46Hey, Nana.
00:26:47Oh, my sweet pea.
00:26:50Tomorrow's my birthday.
00:26:51You haven't forgotten, have you?
00:26:53Oh, no, of course not.
00:26:54I'll be on time.
00:26:55Well, it'd be nice if you brought your boyfriend.
00:27:01Nana's getting old.
00:27:03I may not be around to see you get married.
00:27:06I've been actually meaning to tell you.
00:27:10I'm already married.
00:27:12Oh, that's wonderful.
00:27:14Well, bring him along.
00:27:16I want to meet him.
00:27:17Oh, uh, he might not be free.
00:27:20No excuses.
00:27:21I'm meeting your husband.
00:27:23So I'll see you both tomorrow.
00:27:24Bye-bye.
00:27:28How am I supposed to tell Frank?
00:27:34You're awake.
00:27:37I, uh, brought you some milk.
00:27:43Frank, would you be okay, like, coming with me to visit my grandma tomorrow?
00:27:49It's her birthday.
00:27:51But if you're, like, busy, that's totally fine for just buried on paper.
00:27:55Your grandma, huh?
00:27:58I'll be here tomorrow.
00:27:59Really?
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:02I love you.
00:28:04I mean, thank you.
00:28:08And, um, thanks for the milk.
00:28:19Anything for my wife, Mrs. Reed.
00:28:34You know what, Alan?
00:28:35I want you to prepare a gift for Kate's grandmother.
00:28:38Right away, boss.
00:28:40Oh, and it's Mr. Smith.
00:28:41He called again.
00:28:41Wants to reopen negotiations.
00:28:43Tell them the deal's over.
00:28:45Understood.
00:28:51Mr. Reed won't even meet with me.
00:28:53Larry, calm down.
00:28:55This is all Kate's fault.
00:28:56If we offer her up as a peace gesture, we might be able to salvage the deal.
00:29:01Dad, Mom's right.
00:29:02Tomorrow's Kate's grandmother's birthday.
00:29:04She'll definitely be there.
00:29:06What about that so-called husband of hers?
00:29:09Relax.
00:29:10Relax.
00:29:11Norman and I checked him out last night.
00:29:12He's just a driver for some rich guy.
00:29:15Totally harmless.
00:29:16If she dares to find me again tomorrow, she'll have no one to blame for what happens next.
00:29:26Oh, my sweet pea, you're finally back.
00:29:30I missed you so much.
00:29:32I missed you.
00:29:34Hi, Nana.
00:29:35I'm Frank.
00:29:36Kate's husband.
00:29:37Am I losing my eyesight, or do you look nothing like the guy in the photo Kate sent me?
00:29:46Oh, you're mistaken.
00:29:48Nana, that photo was of that jerk, Norman.
00:29:51Come on.
00:29:52Let's go inside.
00:29:53We have a surprise for you.
00:29:55No mistake here.
00:29:57You're way better looking than the last guy.
00:30:01What an upgrade.
00:30:03Thank you, Nana.
00:30:03Let's go inside.
00:30:24Aw, looks like they're having such a nice day.
00:30:28Let's ruin it.
00:30:34I got you something, Nana.
00:30:36I hope you like it.
00:30:38Wow.
00:30:40It's gorgeous.
00:30:42Oh, I love it.
00:30:45Thank you, sweet pea.
00:30:48I got you something as well.
00:30:52Happy birthday.
00:30:54Oh, my word.
00:30:56It must have cost you a fortune.
00:30:58All that matters is that you like it.
00:31:01Cartier, it's fake, right?
00:31:03No.
00:31:04Of course not.
00:31:05It's real.
00:31:06Of course it's a fake.
00:31:13You think a poor driver would be able to afford Cartier?
00:31:18Obviously, it's a cheap knockoff.
00:31:20What kind of gutter trash tries to scam an old lady?
00:31:27It's not fake.
00:31:29What the hell are you even doing here?
00:31:31Kate, is that any way to talk to your family?
00:31:34We're here to celebrate your grandmother's birthday.
00:31:36And to get a closer look at your flash marriage to a filthy peasant, no less.
00:31:41Enough.
00:31:43I don't need you ruining my birthday.
00:31:46You're not welcome.
00:31:48Get out.
00:31:51We're here to take Kate home.
00:31:53She walked out on her wedding and blew our deal with Mr. Reed.
00:31:57The company is falling apart and you will apologize and make things right.
00:32:01That's not going to happen.
00:32:03I'm married and I'm happy.
00:32:06You have another daughter.
00:32:08If you're so desperate to kiss up to that cold-hearted freak, Rebecca's standing right there.
00:32:13You ungrateful brat.
00:32:14You don't get to the shot.
00:32:16Ow!
00:32:17I've taken it easy on you so far because you're her father.
00:32:20If you try this again, I won't.
00:32:26How about we make this simple?
00:32:29$500,000.
00:32:31Divorce Kate.
00:32:32And it's yours.
00:32:34A whole decade's worth of driving.
00:32:36All in one go.
00:32:39Frank.
00:32:41See, Mom.
00:32:42The trash always picks money over love.
00:32:45I wasn't done yet.
00:32:46$500,000.
00:32:48$5 billion.
00:32:51It doesn't make a difference to me.
00:32:56Kate's my wife.
00:32:58And I love her.
00:33:00She's priceless.
00:33:03Frank.
00:33:06Oh, you lowlife.
00:33:10Go down.
00:33:11Over my dead body.
00:33:15911.
00:33:16I want to report a crime.
00:33:19You will regret this.
00:33:23All of you.
00:33:28Kate?
00:33:32Kate, are you okay?
00:33:34You were incredibly brave.
00:33:36Please don't ever do that again.
00:33:38I'm your husband.
00:33:40I'll protect you now.
00:33:42Okay, lovebirds.
00:33:44Can you tell me how you ended up suddenly married?
00:33:50Uh, Frank and I, uh...
00:33:52It was a whirlwind.
00:33:54Love at first sight.
00:33:55But I mean, can you blame me?
00:33:58Exactly.
00:33:58We fell fast and hard.
00:34:01He doesn't have a lot of money, but it doesn't matter to me.
00:34:03All right, darlings.
00:34:06Be happy.
00:34:07Truly.
00:34:17Larry, we are not seriously letting her off the hook, are we?
00:34:20She got lucky this time.
00:34:22Eventually she's going to have to deal with Mr. Reed.
00:34:36Oh, perfect match.
00:34:38A junk car for a broke man.
00:34:47Oh, my God.
00:34:48Uh, what do we do?
00:34:49That's your boss's car.
00:34:50You're going to get fired.
00:34:51It's okay.
00:34:53We'll just...
00:34:53wash it off.
00:35:03Alan, I need you to start selling all the rest of the Smith Corporation stocks.
00:35:07Let's go ahead and speed up their bankruptcy.
00:35:12Mess up, my girl.
00:35:13You pay the price.
00:35:40Oh, my God.
00:35:44I'm so sorry.
00:35:45It's okay.
00:35:50Why don't you let me take over, sweetheart?
00:35:55She did a number on it.
00:36:05What's up?
00:36:06This is something you like then, Mr. Reed.
00:36:12You know, you're really playing with fire.
00:36:25Take time, my darlings.
00:36:28Oh, uh, no.
00:36:30You know, why don't we take this somewhere else?
00:36:39Oh, my soul.
00:36:42So good to be young.
00:37:00You sure about this, babe?
00:37:13She's so kind.
00:37:16So trusting.
00:37:18How am I supposed to tell her the truth about who I really am?
00:37:24Morning.
00:37:30Why are you so serious?
00:37:34Kate, if one day you found out that I'd lied to you, would you be able to find it yourself
00:37:41to forgive me?
00:37:43What do you mean?
00:37:44Did you lie to me?
00:37:46No, no, no.
00:37:46Just hypothetically.
00:37:49I hope not.
00:37:51Norman lied to me, and after that I promised myself I'd never forgive that kind of betrayal
00:37:56again.
00:37:57Guess it's not time yet.
00:38:02Boss, urgent board meeting.
00:38:04I'm on my way.
00:38:07Off you go, you hard worker.
00:38:09Don't be late.
00:38:13Come on, sweet pea.
00:38:15Breakfast is ready.
00:38:20Where's Frank?
00:38:21Oh, he left early for work.
00:38:24Frank's not bad at all.
00:38:26Responsible.
00:38:27Hard working.
00:38:29Can't ask for more than a husband.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33He works so hard.
00:38:34I just don't want him to carry it all alone.
00:38:36I need to find a job soon.
00:38:45Mr. Reed must be furious Kate ran from the wedding.
00:38:47That's why he tanked our stock price.
00:38:49And if we don't act soon, he's going to bury us.
00:38:51Then do something, Larry.
00:38:53I am not about to live like a pauper.
00:38:56Dad, what if we hired someone to kidnap Kate?
00:39:00Then we could deliver her straight to Mr. Reed.
00:39:04What's the holdup?
00:39:05Do you want to see this family crash and burn?
00:39:12Find out where Kate is.
00:39:23Lisa, guess what?
00:39:25I got an offer from Ashbourne Group.
00:39:27I know I can finally take pressure off of Frank.
00:39:30That's amazing, babe.
00:39:31Thank you, Lisa.
00:39:32I'll call you later.
00:39:33I got to tell Frank, okay?
00:39:38Somebody help!
00:39:39Get off of me!
00:39:40Get off of me!
00:39:44Now you be a good girl.
00:39:46And I won't have to tape your mouth shut.
00:39:48Dad?
00:39:49What is this?
00:39:50What do you think?
00:39:51You're going to apologize to Mr. Reed now.
00:39:54Let's go.
00:39:56No.
00:39:57I have to find a way to tell Frank.
00:40:02You're hurting me.
00:40:03I can't walk.
00:40:08And here are the summary financial statements from last year.
00:40:13Is that right?
00:40:17Can you?
00:40:18Frank, help me!
00:40:20Fuck!
00:40:24I told you, don't fuck with me!
00:40:36Where are you going?
00:40:50Weird.
00:40:51Where's Mr. Reed?
00:40:56Let me go!
00:40:57Help!
00:40:58Help!
00:41:06Get your hands off her!
00:41:11Frank!
00:41:12You okay?
00:41:14You saved me.
00:41:17What the fuck are you doing here?
00:41:19I should be asking you that.
00:41:20This is my fucking terp.
00:41:22You're a terp?
00:41:23What are you now, the CEO of Ashler?
00:41:26I, uh...
00:41:27This is my office.
00:41:29Yours?
00:41:30Yeah, it's his office.
00:41:32He's the CEO's assistant.
00:41:34And I'm his driver, so that makes this my turf, too.
00:41:36Yeah, this is absurd.
00:41:38I need to speak to Mr. Reed now!
00:41:40What for?
00:41:41Mr. Reed has officially call ties with her family.
00:41:43Mr. Wood, please.
00:41:44Look, I even brought the bitch in to apologize in person, okay?
00:41:47You're not welcome here.
00:41:49Security!
00:41:53Get him out.
00:41:54And don't ever let him step foot in this building again.
00:41:57Get off of me!
00:41:58No!
00:41:59Get off of me!
00:42:01God, really?
00:42:02Get off of me!
00:42:03No!
00:42:04God, really?
00:42:08Wait.
00:42:09Isn't Alan a trust fund baby?
00:42:11Why is he working as an assistant here?
00:42:12Uh, he is a trust fund baby, but he's an ambitious trust fund baby.
00:42:17Learning how to run a company from the ground up.
00:42:20That way he can take over the family business later.
00:42:22Is that true?
00:42:23Yeah, my family's, like, filthy rich.
00:42:26We own, like, a bunch of companies.
00:42:28Come on, let's get you out of here.
00:42:29No, no, no.
00:42:30I have some news.
00:42:31Some big news.
00:42:33I just got hired by the Ashmore Group.
00:42:35What?
00:42:37What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:38Why are you looking at me like that?
00:42:39I can help support the family now.
00:42:47Hi, Kate.
00:42:47We need you down at the office.
00:42:49Got it.
00:42:50I'll head over now.
00:42:52I gotta go check in.
00:42:54I'll see you guys later.
00:42:55Congrats.
00:43:00Boss, you really need to tell her the truth.
00:43:02This will blow up eventually.
00:43:09Hi.
00:43:10I'm Kate, the new hire.
00:43:12I look forward to working with you.
00:43:14Hi, Kate.
00:43:15Welcome on board.
00:43:16I'm George.
00:43:17So, uh, how do I log in?
00:43:20I'll show you.
00:43:22Amazing.
00:43:23Yeah.
00:43:24What the hell is that?
00:43:25And why does he have his hands on my wife?
00:43:27Boss, that's George, the new guy.
00:43:29Probably just...
00:43:30Onboarding?
00:43:32Do they need to be that close for onboarding?
00:43:35So, people scheduling, meetings, right there.
00:43:38And everything's all set up.
00:43:43Hey!
00:43:45I...
00:43:51What the fuck was that?
00:43:53If you charge over there, she'll know.
00:43:55And if she knows you've been lying, we're dead.
00:44:01Oh, what do you want to do?
00:44:02What do you want to get to start?
00:44:03Let's start.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:05And, um, everything's set up.
00:44:07Amazing.
00:44:07Well, it's lunch, so, uh...
00:44:09You want to grab a coffee?
00:44:10I'd love to.
00:44:10Yeah?
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:11Okay, let's do it.
00:44:21Did you hear that she's using her soft voice with him?
00:44:26Boss, are you jealous?
00:44:29Jealous?
00:44:30Don't be stupid.
00:44:33Tell George I want to see him in my office now.
00:44:35Yes, sir.
00:44:37Poor George.
00:44:38May God have mercy on your soul.
00:44:45Uh, come in.
00:44:50Frank!
00:44:51Kate?
00:44:53What are you...
00:44:54What are you doing?
00:44:56What are you doing?
00:44:57You can't just sit in the CEO's chair.
00:45:01I was just, um, trying to find a folder for Alan.
00:45:04Well, don't do that again.
00:45:05If someone sees you, you'll get fired.
00:45:09You're right, Mel.
00:45:11But what are you doing in here?
00:45:13My manager got pulled into a meeting, so she wanted me to drop this off.
00:45:16Oh.
00:45:19Boss?
00:45:20It's Lena from marketing.
00:45:21No.
00:45:22If Lena sees me here, I'm done for.
00:45:24Kate will know everything.
00:45:25Boss?
00:45:26I'm coming in.
00:45:32Weird.
00:45:33Um, this needs to be signed ASAP.
00:45:36Where did he go?
00:45:38Why are we hiding?
00:45:39Did you forget already?
00:45:41The CEO's unpredictable, right?
00:45:42If he sees an intern walking around in his office, he's gonna fire you on the spot.
00:45:47Good point.
00:45:48Okay, I'll, uh, leave this here then.
00:45:57Come on, we should go.
00:45:58The CEO will come back any minute.
00:46:00Boss, you wanted to see me?
00:46:02George?
00:46:07Boss?
00:46:09I didn't realize George had that kind of an effect on you.
00:46:12What's that supposed to mean?
00:46:14Boss?
00:46:18You're on your mind?
00:46:19What?
00:46:21Ow!
00:46:24Boss?
00:46:26George?
00:46:28What are you doing in here?
00:46:29Oh, didn't you say the boss wanted to see me?
00:46:34Uh, boss just left.
00:46:36Head back to your desk, and I will call you when he's free.
00:46:39Yes, sir.
00:46:41I'd better go track him down.
00:46:46What the hell was that?
00:46:47What if George saw us?
00:46:48What, are you worried that he'd find out about us?
00:46:50No, I'm worried you'll get fired.
00:46:51You're worried about me?
00:46:53Yes.
00:46:54I learned at the orientation meeting today that there's a strict no office romance policy.
00:46:58And you sitting in the CEO chair with me like that, if George saw us, what do you think it
00:47:02would look like?
00:47:03So you were worried I was worried I was worried I was worried I was worried I was worried I
00:47:04was worried I was worried I was going to get fired?
00:47:05I was worried my husband would lose his job.
00:47:10So you were worried about me?
00:47:12All right.
00:47:14All right.
00:47:14I'm going to go first, wait a second, and then head out.
00:47:18Yes, ma'am.
00:47:19Yes, ma'am.
00:47:28Boss, I took care of George.
00:47:30George, he and Miss Reed will be seated separately from now on.
00:47:33No need.
00:47:35I'm sorry?
00:47:35I'm not really worried about him anymore.
00:47:39Oh, um, do we really have a policy against inter-office relationships?
00:47:43We do.
00:47:44I'm pretty sure that was your idea.
00:47:46Shot myself in the hood on that one.
00:47:48Put out an office memo.
00:47:50That policy is scratched, effective immediately.
00:47:53Employees can have relationships, even inside of the office.
00:47:57You're the boss.
00:47:57I'll handle it.
00:48:05Maybe this is my shot to tell Kate.
00:48:09I'm the CEO of Ashton.
00:48:18George, what's going on?
00:48:19I don't know.
00:48:20Alan told me I was being moved to a different desk.
00:48:22And then five minutes later, he said, never mind, stay put.
00:48:26That's efficient.
00:48:27Tell me about it.
00:48:28But that's not the weirdest part.
00:48:30Apparently, the CEO wanted to see me.
00:48:33But when I showed up, he wasn't there.
00:48:36Have you actually ever seen the CEO?
00:48:39I mean, I've heard he's cold and kind of eccentric.
00:48:44Only from across the lobby.
00:48:46Tall, dark suit.
00:48:48Couldn't make it out of space.
00:48:50Sounds about right.
00:48:51Great news, everyone.
00:48:52This Friday, the Ashbourne Group is throwing a charity masquerade ball.
00:48:57And we're all invited.
00:49:09Are you sure it's okay that we came together?
00:49:11I mean, what if someone sees us?
00:49:14Relationships aren't against the rules anymore.
00:49:17Besides, worth a lot.
00:49:19Tonight is just my date.
00:49:24Well, well, well.
00:49:26I didn't realize they let thrift store couples into places like this.
00:49:31Kate's just a proud little Ashbourne intern now.
00:49:33She's just here to, you know, level up.
00:49:39Frank and I both work at Ashbourne.
00:49:41I think we have a right to attend our own company's party.
00:49:43This is also a private event.
00:49:45How did you two get in?
00:49:48My dad runs one of Ashbourne's bars, so getting an invite was no big deal.
00:49:52And Rebecca's here with me, obviously.
00:49:56Good job, Alan.
00:49:57Just letting anybody walk in.
00:49:58The word is, the CEO's showing up tonight.
00:50:04What's wrong, Kate?
00:50:05Nervous?
00:50:06Maybe the big bad CEO will fire you and your boyfriend the second he sees you.
00:50:11Oh, fingers crossed!
00:50:18Is that right?
00:50:20What if we shouldn't go in?
00:50:21I mean, if they're cold, let it free.
00:50:22What?
00:50:24I got this.
00:50:26I got this.
00:50:46I just saw Alan.
00:50:47I need to go have a conversation with him.
00:50:49You go on, Alan.
00:50:50Okay.
00:50:56Boss, everything is set just like you asked.
00:50:59Fine.
00:50:59Time to show Kate the real me.
00:51:03Kate!
00:51:05Wow!
00:51:06Almost didn't recognize you.
00:51:08You look like a completely different person.
00:51:11You look stunning.
00:51:12Thank you, George.
00:51:13You look very dashing yourself.
00:51:15May I have the honor of the first dance?
00:51:17Absolutely.
00:51:21You may not.
00:51:22She only dances with me tonight.
00:51:24She only dances with me tonight.
00:51:29But...
00:51:31Who is that guy?
00:51:33He looks familiar.
00:51:40Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual Masquerade Charity Ball.
00:51:46As always, we would love to begin the night.
00:51:49And we will begin the night with the famous first dance auction.
00:51:54Now let's start.
00:51:55$10,000 for the first dance with Miss Brown.
00:51:58$10,000!
00:52:00Going once.
00:52:02Going twice.
00:52:03$30,000 for a dance with Rebecca.
00:52:06Okay, somebody really wants it.
00:52:10$40,000 for a dance with Miss Kate Smith.
00:52:13George, what are you doing?
00:52:14It's for a good cause.
00:52:16Besides, there's someone else here that I'd rather dance with than you.
00:52:20Babe!
00:52:21You're not gonna let Kate outbid me, are you?
00:52:24$40,000.
00:52:25Going once.
00:52:26$500,000.
00:52:27Ladies and gentlemen, that is a record.
00:52:29Anyone else?
00:52:31$500,000.
00:52:32Going once.
00:52:33Going twice.
00:52:37Ten million dollars.
00:52:38The first dance with Miss Kate Smith.
00:52:41Frank, are you insane?
00:52:43We don't have that kind of money.
00:52:44You idiot chauffeur.
00:52:46Do you know what $10 million even means?
00:52:48Kate, you are seriously pushing it right now.
00:52:51This isn't playtime.
00:52:53When you bid, you pay.
00:52:54It's real cash, not monopoly money.
00:52:57Frank.
00:52:58Please, tell them you're lying.
00:52:59Say something.
00:53:01Lies.
00:53:02What are you doing?
00:53:03What are you doing?
00:53:03Trust me.
00:53:05Good once.
00:53:07Good choice.
00:53:10Sold!
00:53:12To Mr. Frank Reed, the CEO of the Ashbourne Group.
00:53:20CEO?
00:53:22Everyone, please give a warm welcome to the CEO of the Ashbourne Group, Mr. Frank Reed.
00:53:35He's the CEO?
00:53:37So that means that Kate's Mrs. Reed?
00:53:41Are you fucking kidding me?
00:53:44You're...
00:53:45Frank Reed, the cold-blooded freak that you always spoke so highly about.
00:53:51You lied to me.
00:53:53Kate, no, it's...
00:53:54Don't.
00:53:55Don't.
00:53:56I don't want to hear another lie from you.
00:54:01Kate!
00:54:03Kate is the CEO's woman?
00:54:08Fuck.
00:54:10Kate, just give me a minute.
00:54:12Please.
00:54:14Mr. Reed?
00:54:15The CEO?
00:54:16Cold-blooded freak?
00:54:18Driver Frank?
00:54:18Which one was real?
00:54:19Kate, I...
00:54:20I hope he's lying to me.
00:54:22I didn't mean for you to get this far.
00:54:25You just...
00:54:27You went...
00:54:28On and...
00:54:28On and...
00:54:29On and on about how you...
00:54:31Hated...
00:54:32That cold-blooded...
00:54:34Freak.
00:54:36I didn't know how to tell you that was me.
00:54:38I was scared that you would walk away.
00:54:41You had so many chances to come clean.
00:54:43Why didn't you?
00:54:44Because you said betrayal was the one thing you'd never forget.
00:54:46Once I'd fall on for you, Kate, well...
00:54:50I couldn't bear the thought of losing you.
00:54:53Tom...
00:54:53My hand's been here.
00:54:55I need time.
00:54:58Don't.
00:54:58Don't follow me.
00:55:03Mother, what am I supposed to do?
00:55:06I'm so angry at him that I still...
00:55:08You still care for him, don't you?
00:55:14I just don't know if I can forgive him.
00:55:17Maybe Frank was wrong to lie at first.
00:55:22But I believe his heart was in the right place.
00:55:26Titles can be fate, but not the heart.
00:55:31Ask yourself, did he treat you with kindness?
00:55:35Did he make you feel like you mattered?
00:55:41Stop!
00:55:42Heart racing fast with trembling hands.
00:55:45Seeking your warmth in candlelight.
00:55:49Each touch ignites a burning flame.
00:55:53As midnight weaves its soft delight.
00:55:57Sweet pea, whether you forgive him or not, that's up to you.
00:56:03But no matter what...
00:56:05Nana's here.
00:56:10Nana...
00:56:11Give yourself a little time.
00:56:15Give him some time too.
00:56:18Okay?
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:21Okay.
00:56:31Sir, you asked I followed Miss Reed home.
00:56:33She's back safe at Mary's farm.
00:56:37Thanks, Alan.
00:56:38You can go now.
00:56:41Sir, I've seen the way you two look at each other.
00:56:44If you apologize, I think she'll hear you out.
00:56:50I don't know, Alan.
00:56:53Feels like I've already lost her.
00:57:03Well, well, well.
00:57:04Look at that.
00:57:06Mrs. CEO watering your own plants.
00:57:08How humble.
00:57:10What are you doing here?
00:57:12Now what kind of tone is that?
00:57:14Now that you're the boss's wife, you're not my daughter anymore?
00:57:17Oh, honey.
00:57:19Don't scold her.
00:57:20Pete has clawed her way to the top.
00:57:22Sweetheart.
00:57:24Call your peasant husband.
00:57:26Sorry.
00:57:27Call your CEO husband and have him transfer 50 million.
00:57:30Tell him his father-in-law's company needs a little...
00:57:33Help.
00:57:36If you want his help, then call him yourself.
00:57:39I'm not part of his life anymore.
00:57:44We've tried being civil.
00:57:46Now you give us no choice.
00:57:50Are you crazy?
00:57:52If you won't step aside and save the family business,
00:57:54then I'll be Mrs. CEO.
00:58:01Drop it.
00:58:04Frank, your hand, does it hurt?
00:58:06Yes.
00:58:14Officers.
00:58:15Attempted extortion.
00:58:17Assault.
00:58:18And kidnapping.
00:58:19You're all under arrest.
00:58:22No, no, no!
00:58:24Stop it!
00:58:25Get your heels off of me!
00:58:34Why did you come?
00:58:37I...
00:58:38I asked him to come.
00:58:40You and I were not going to get rid of those vultures on our own.
00:58:46Thank you for what you did today.
00:58:48But if nothing else, please leave.
00:58:53Look, just...
00:58:54Give me one minute.
00:58:55Please.
00:58:57Please.
00:59:00I'll just go water the plants.
00:59:05Like that?
00:59:06Look, even if Mary hadn't called, I still would have come.
00:59:09Because...
00:59:10Because I really have to say this.
00:59:12I thought that I knew what was best for you and I, but...
00:59:16I was wrong.
00:59:17I should have never lied to you.
00:59:19And I swear to you, Kate, I never will again.
00:59:22I promise.
00:59:22But just please give me one more chance.
00:59:25This...
00:59:26Life just has no meaning without you.
00:59:30You promise...
00:59:31To never lie again?
00:59:34I swear.
00:59:36I'll never lie to you again.
00:59:39One more chance then.
00:59:40One more chance then.
00:59:49I love you, Kate.
00:59:51I love you, Frank.
