Short filmTranscript
00:04Your world's top Neurosurge's successor. You've been running Nexus Tech. How much have you been hiding from me?
00:10One more thing. I'm your ex-wife.
00:15I'd been married to Nanshore's richest man for three years, yet we'd never even met.
00:21When he finally came home, I thought maybe this time was different. It wasn't. He wanted a divorce.
00:26So that's him, the man who left the country on our wedding day.
00:30Papers on the dining table. Take a look. If you have any issues, let me know.
00:34Divorce? You ditched me on our wedding day, and the second you're back, you want a divorce?
00:39Mr. Reed, are you sure nothing's wrong with you down there?
00:43Wow, she's got some nerve.
00:47Fine. I'm not looking for your opinion, just so you know.
00:50He's leaving? I've never seen his face.
00:53Fine, it doesn't really matter what he looks like anymore.
00:57Works for me. I'd rather be on my own than stuck with a man like that for the rest of
01:00my life.
01:01Better soon than later.
01:04The Reed estate is yours after the divorce, plus a million in compensation.
01:08That's more than enough to keep you comfortable.
01:11Nope. I don't want it.
01:16Sorry?
01:18The estate is worth over a hundred million. There's the settlement on top of that.
01:22If you keep pushing back, you'll end up with nothing.
01:24That's fine. I've kept track of every cent I spent these years. I'll pay it all back.
01:29We had a prenup, so I walk away with nothing. You won't lose a dime.
01:33After this, we're strangers.
01:35I'll be out of the estate by tomorrow morning.
01:37Thank you for these three years, Mr. Reed.
01:42Walk away with nothing?
01:43Oh, yeah, sure she is.
01:49Let's go, Sophie.
01:50You really signed that?
01:52We all know it was a mistake from the start.
01:54Grandma was worried about leaving me behind.
01:56That's why her best friend, Lucas' grandmother, promised to look after me.
01:59And the rest is how we got here.
02:07Maybe it's for the best.
02:09What now? Back to the hospital?
02:11I already put the word out the moment you decided on the divorce.
02:13You're Alice, top neurosurgeon in the world.
02:16People have been looking for you for three years.
02:20I gave myself three years for Grandma.
02:22That's up now. Time to go back.
02:24All arranged at Hargath.
02:26No one there will know you're Alice.
02:27If you need anything, go straight to Dr. Carter.
02:29He knows the situation.
02:32Oh, Sophie.
02:34Nobody looks out for me like you do.
02:37Silly girl.
02:38Even though we're both orphans, Grandma took in from the countryside.
02:41But that doesn't make us any less sisters.
02:45Sir, the estate called.
02:46Miss Lane's gone.
02:47She left all the jewelry behind.
02:49And the allowance you set up over the years, she never touched any of it.
02:52Got it.
02:58Lucas! We found her!
02:59Alice! The world's best neurosurgeon's successor!
03:06Alice! The world's best neurosurgeon's successor!
03:09Where is she?
03:10Marlboro Private Hospital. She just joined.
03:13Send me everything you have, Honor. I'm heading over now.
03:24Sherry, why does that name sound familiar?
03:27Ms. Lane, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
03:30Let me take you up to neurosurgery.
03:31No need to apologize, Dr. Carter.
03:35Dr. Quinn is operating today. Big case.
03:38Thought it'd be a good chance for you to observe.
03:40Observe?
03:42Usually it's the other way around.
03:52Intracranial bleed! She's coding!
03:54Get the defibrillator now.
03:55Start recess.
03:56Get an ambulance on standby.
03:57She may need to be transferred at any moment.
03:59She can't be transferred. She needs a second surgery. Immediately.
04:02Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?
04:04Even Dr. Quinn wouldn't try it.
04:06Who are you exactly?
04:07What department are you even from?
04:09Everyone stay calm. We follow Dr. Quinn's plan.
04:12I'll call in the chief from Central Hospital.
04:14Dr. Carter, there's no time.
04:17Let me in. I'm the only one here who can save her.
04:19You know what's on the line if this goes wrong. Are you sure?
04:22A doctor's job is to save lives. I won't just stand here and watch her die.
04:26Go prep. I'll handle the family.
04:32Seriously? A rookie who just got here? You're trying to get my wife killed?
04:35That's right! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, I'll sue this hospital into the ground!
04:41Let me through. If anything goes wrong, it's on me.
04:47We paid for Dr. Quinn.
04:48I love that conference.
04:49How dare you! I'll sue you personally!
04:54Who are you? Are you two in on this together?
04:57I'm the CEO of L&R Group.
04:59I'm personally guaranteeing this surgery.
05:02If anything goes wrong, it comes to me.
05:05Lucas Reed? That's the man I just divorced this morning?
05:19Mr. Reed, are you all right?
05:20I'm fine. Just your hands. They can't get hurt.
05:24Why does he care about my hands?
05:27Why did he help me at all?
05:29Are you all right?
05:31There's no time. I need to go in now.
05:41Surgery was a success. She's stable.
05:48I owe you an apology, doctor.
05:50I, on behalf of my whole family, I'm so sorry.
05:53And thank you. Thank you for saving my wife.
05:55Don't worry about it. The surgery went well.
05:57Keep her under observation for a few more hours,
05:59then she can be moved to a regular board.
06:01Thank you. Thank you so much.
06:08Dr. Lane, I'm Lucas Reed. Got a minute?
06:11He stayed from this morning all the way to now.
06:13You know who I am?
06:14Yes. I've been looking for you for three years.
06:17Poor Alice, the one and only successor
06:19to the world's best neurosurgeon.
06:20So that's what he means.
06:22Three years married and he doesn't even know my face.
06:24Of course not.
06:26So the guarantee?
06:28Stepping in front of that bottle, all of that,
06:30was because I'm Alice?
06:31Yes. Your hands couldn't be raised.
06:33Even so, what does that have to do with you, Mr. Reed?
06:37There's a surgery I need done.
06:39I've been to every specialist I can find.
06:41No one will take the case.
06:43He helped me today.
06:45We're even.
06:46One surgery, then we're done for good.
06:47I once heard the housekeeper mention
06:49that there's someone Lucas never got over.
06:52Is this her?
06:53Three months, at most.
06:55The fragment is pressing on her optic nerve.
06:57She's already blind.
06:57Her hearing is probably going too.
06:59That's right.
07:01The window was a year ago.
07:02Why wasn't she operated on?
07:05Best odds anyone could give me were 50-50.
07:08I couldn't accept that.
07:09That's how much he loves her.
07:11But then again,
07:12why did he agree to marry me three years ago?
07:14A backup plan?
07:14Just in case she didn't make it?
07:16Bottom line,
07:17he's trash.
07:18Total trash.
07:20What if I'm not easy to find?
07:22Or what if I can't guarantee the surgery works?
07:24You've waited this long.
07:25What if she doesn't make it off the table?
07:26As long as you're alive,
07:28I'll find you.
07:30Unbelievable.
07:30You've been gambling with someone else's life
07:32this whole time
07:33and you think that makes you devoted?
07:34Fine.
07:35I've looked it over.
07:35But I need to see the patient myself
07:37before I decide anything.
07:38I know her condition inside and out.
07:39I can speak on her behalf.
07:41Speak on her behalf?
07:42She's the one whose life is at stake.
07:43I'm responsible for my patient,
07:45not you.
07:46If that's how you want to do this,
07:46then I'm sorry.
07:49I can't take the case.
07:51Why is she so hostile to me?
07:58Ellie!
07:59To celebrate your freedom
08:01and your grand return to medicine,
08:03I got us a booth.
08:04We are going out tonight.
08:10Wait, that jerk actually cheated?
08:12You're sure?
08:13You're all over the internet, Coco.
08:15Is it really okay to be out like this?
08:16I've got a hat on.
08:18Nobody's going to recognize me.
08:19You got played.
08:20The least I can do
08:21is get you out of the house.
08:23You just go ahead.
08:27I'll be right there.
08:32She looks different outside of work.
08:35Oh, I heard that new signing at his company.
08:38Apparently she's his girlfriend.
08:39Look.
08:41There's another one?
08:43How many is he juggling?
08:46She looks perfectly healthy.
08:49Definitely not the girl Lucas wants me to operate on.
08:54Hey, gorgeous.
08:56Drinking alone's no fun.
08:57Come sit with us.
08:58Don't bother looking.
08:59Security's been taken care of.
09:00Nobody's coming.
09:01They planned this.
09:02I've barely been out in three years
09:04to have crossed anyone.
09:05This has to be about Coco.
09:07And if I say no?
09:09Even better.
09:10Miss Shay's solid.
09:11This chick's hot.
09:13Shut your mouth!
09:15The woman called Miss Shay sent them?
09:17I need Sophie to look into this.
09:20Yes.
09:27Who the hell are you?
09:38Three years, no contact before the divorce.
09:41Now he's everywhere.
09:42Either he's following me
09:43or I've got the worst luck.
09:46Mr. Reed, what are you doing here?
09:47Are you following me?
09:48Why can't I be here?
09:51You've been drinking.
09:54Don't worry, Dr. Lane.
09:55Your personal life is none of my business.
09:58I just want to know,
09:59in this state,
10:00can you hold a scalpel steady?
10:03Right.
10:04He's worried I'll be too drunk
10:05to operate on his precious girl.
10:06What I do
10:07and whether I can hold a scalpel
10:08is none of your concern.
10:09If you doubt me,
10:10find someone else.
10:11I haven't agreed to anything yet anyway.
10:13She really doesn't hold back.
10:16I'll meet your conditions.
10:17I'll come pick you up myself tomorrow morning.
10:19I hope you'll keep your word, Dr. Lane.
10:21As long as you follow proper procedure,
10:23I will.
10:31Sophie, I need you to look into someone.
10:33They called her Shay.
10:34Two punks came after me and Coco tonight
10:36using her name.
10:37I need to know who she is.
10:38On it.
10:39I'll let you know
10:40the second I find anything.
10:41But don't you think
10:42it's a little funny?
10:43What do you mean?
10:44Lucas Reed.
10:45Three years,
10:46you never even saw him.
10:47And the day you divorce,
10:48you run into him twice.
10:49Either he's stalking you
10:50or fate has a really bad sense of humor.
10:53Let it go, Sophie.
10:54He's in the past.
11:02Dr. Lane.
11:03Um,
11:04are you
11:05seeing anyone?
11:07No.
11:08Really?
11:09Really?
11:10Awesome.
11:11Dr. Lane,
11:11I really like...
11:11I'm single.
11:12I'm also a widower.
11:13Um,
11:14I mean,
11:14I'm divorced.
11:19That's an interesting way
11:20to turn someone down.
11:22Yep.
11:23Believe it or not,
11:24I actually wouldn't have minded
11:25just staying widowed.
11:26Her background's clean
11:27and marriage status is blank.
11:29Is she telling the truth
11:30or playing games?
11:34Your personal life
11:35isn't my concern,
11:36Dr. Lane.
11:37The car's ready.
11:38Let's go.
11:39Why ask so much
11:40if you don't care,
11:41weirdo?
11:51Mr. Reed,
11:52Little Miss knew
11:53you were coming today
11:54so she insisted
11:55on coming out
11:55to meet you.
12:02Lucas,
12:03brother?
12:04Brother?
12:04Are they actually siblings
12:06or is it something else?
12:07Hey, Lucas.
12:10Ellie,
12:10I've told you,
12:11be good.
12:12Lucas likes
12:13well-behaved girls.
12:17Ellie?
12:17Same as my nook name.
12:19So when Lucas agreed
12:20to marry me three years ago,
12:21was it because of my name?
12:22That's disgusting.
12:24Nancy,
12:25take her back inside.
12:29You must be Dr. Lane.
12:30I'm Sherry,
12:31who's been looking after Ellie.
12:32Lucas and I are old friends.
12:33Hi.
12:34Sherry?
12:34Why does that name
12:35sound familiar?
12:41The way she's looking at me.
12:43Like she knows me.
12:44We only just met.
12:47Well, well.
12:48Bitch,
12:49I underestimated you.
12:51Dr. Lane,
12:52are you all right?
12:55Dr. Lane,
12:56shall we head in?
12:57I can show you to the room.
12:59No need.
13:00I already got a look just now.
13:02She's doing a little better
13:03than I expected.
13:03I'll go back and put together
13:04a full surgical plan.
13:05We can talk once it's ready.
13:07If one look was enough,
13:08I've got the right person.
13:09Mr. Reed?
13:11Of course.
13:11Thank you, Dr. Lane.
13:17Dr. Lane,
13:18are you going to take the case?
13:21You really don't want me to, do you?
13:22No, I don't.
13:23I mean, yes.
13:24Yes, I definitely want you to.
13:25Dr. Lane,
13:26that's not why I came out.
13:27I just wanted to ask,
13:28do you have a boyfriend?
13:29I'm going to take a reaction,
13:30but not smart enough.
13:31Do you go for someone like Lucas?
13:33He's so accomplished,
13:35so successful.
13:36Pretty sure every woman
13:37would be into him, right?
13:38Huh.
13:38She wants to know
13:39if I'm competition.
13:40You said it yourself.
13:41He's accomplished,
13:41he's successful.
13:42I'm a woman.
13:42Of course I'd be into him.
13:44Accomplished?
13:45Successful?
13:51Why were you standing so close?
13:53You're the one who spun around.
13:55Anyway, did you mean that?
13:57Obviously not.
13:59No?
14:00Then explain it to me, Dr. Lane.
14:02Were you testing me?
14:04Dr. Lane,
14:05you don't mind that Lucas
14:06was married before, right?
14:08His ex-wife wasn't good enough for him.
14:10Divorce was a good thing,
14:11so please don't hold it that against him.
14:13You hid your marriage so well,
14:14but the divorce?
14:15You made sure everyone knew.
14:17You really couldn't wait, could you?
14:19Is that how you see her too, Mr. Reed?
14:22We weren't right for each other.
14:24The divorce was the best outcome
14:25for both of us.
14:26You never respected me
14:27or got to know me
14:28in the past three years.
14:29Best for us?
14:30That's rich coming from you.
14:32Good for you, then.
14:33I just hope you don't end up
14:35regretting it someday.
14:36Let go of me!
14:37You're angry.
14:39Is it because I've been married?
14:40You're reading into it, Mr. Reed.
14:42Your marriage isn't my problem.
14:44I just feel for your ex-wife.
14:46Those women won't stop
14:46running their mouths about her even now.
14:48You've got the wrong idea.
14:49She and I weren't like that.
14:50She was just-
14:51Sorry, I'm not interested.
14:52And I'm not the one
14:53you owe an explanation to.
14:55She is.
14:57Neither of us wanted that marriage.
14:59I settled with her at the end.
15:00We're even.
15:01I never liked her.
15:02I owe her nothing.
15:03Even?
15:04You can explain yourself
15:05to a doctor you just met
15:06but your wife of three years
15:07didn't deserve so much as a word.
15:08Incredible.
15:10You don't owe me
15:11an explanation either.
15:12I'm not interested.
15:16Lucas, I'm sorry.
15:17I shouldn't have brought it up.
15:18You did that on purpose.
15:20Don't play dumb.
15:20I don't want it happening again.
15:22Lucas,
15:23don't you think you're paying
15:24an awful lot of attention
15:25to Dr.
15:26Dr. Lane?
15:28That's only because
15:29she's the surgeon.
15:30Yeah, that's all.
15:34Until that surgery is done,
15:36you stay away from her.
15:41Just you wait,
15:42Elaine, Elaine.
15:47Ellie, I've got something.
15:48Shay is Sherry.
15:49She paid those two punnings
15:50to go after Coco.
15:51There was a third guy
15:52there filming.
15:53They wanted leverage on her.
15:55Sherry?
15:56So it was her.
15:58What do you want to do?
16:00Leave them for now.
16:02That's not like you.
16:04Three years in that house
16:05must have knocked
16:06the edge off you.
16:07No, you've got it wrong.
16:08Harassment that didn't land?
16:10Attempted harassment?
16:11That's months.
16:11Max.
16:12I want something
16:13that actually hurts.
16:14Good.
16:15I know what to do.
16:18Thanks, Sophie.
16:26Dr. Lane, it's Sherry.
16:28Well, well, speak of the devil.
16:31What is it?
16:31Since you've agreed
16:32to do Ellie's surgery,
16:34I'd love to take you
16:34to dinner as a thank you.
16:36I've already sent a car
16:37to the hospital.
16:37I hope you'll come.
16:39Sure.
16:40I'll be there.
16:42Let's see how long you last
16:43when you're out of your depth.
16:45Since I'm going to make them
16:46pay anyway,
16:47might as well be tonight.
17:00Who is this?
17:01Does she not know
17:02this is a private event?
17:03Who let her in?
17:03This is one of Lucas' venues.
17:05Did he set this whole thing up?
17:10Everyone,
17:10this is Dr. Elena Lane
17:11from Hargrage,
17:12my guest tonight.
17:14Mr. Dawn speaks
17:15before he thinks.
17:16Don't take it personally.
17:17Told me she wasn't interested,
17:18and here she is,
17:20women.
17:21I should have mentioned
17:22tonight is a business dinner
17:22for Vertex Media.
17:24I borrowed Lucas' face.
17:25Sorry for not being clearer.
17:28Business talk.
17:29Probably not your world, right?
17:31You might find it a bit hard
17:32to follow, Dr. Lane.
17:34Miss Sherry,
17:35I didn't come looking for trouble,
17:36but if you're going to keep
17:38trying to embarrass me,
17:39then I'm sorry.
17:41Even I'm embarrassed for you.
17:43What is wrong with you?
17:44Sherry was kind enough
17:45to invite you
17:46and look what you did.
17:46Don't blame Dr. Lane.
17:48It was my fault.
17:48I tripped.
17:50Lucas, don't blame her.
17:51She really didn't push me.
17:52You're still defending her?
17:53Don't worry.
17:54With Mr. Reed here,
17:55she can't do a thing to you.
17:56You really have no idea
17:57who you're dealing with.
18:11Miss Sherry,
18:12you tried to humiliate me
18:14and frame me.
18:15Did you really think
18:16I'd just let that go?
18:17You're insane.
18:19I didn't do anything.
18:20I just,
18:21I slipped.
18:22Really?
18:26Ah!
18:28Lucas, help me!
18:29You lunatic!
18:31You actually cut her!
18:36Dr. Lane,
18:37you're embarrassing Lucas!
18:39He won't care
18:40what happens to me,
18:41but his image?
18:42Elena,
18:43good luck.
18:44Are you done?
18:45Someone take her out
18:46and have that look down.
18:48Nobody moves!
18:53Know your place.
18:55Mr. Reed could end
18:55your career
18:56with one phone call.
18:57So what's with the act,
18:57small town girl?
18:58Spare me the comedy.
19:00That night,
19:00Miss Sherry hired punks
19:01to go after my friend
19:02and have the whole thing filmed.
19:03The whole three of them
19:04have talked.
19:05So,
19:06are you going to cover for her?
19:08Nonsense!
19:09I've never set foot in a bar.
19:10I don't know any punks.
19:11Dr. Lane,
19:12you can't wrong me like this.
19:13I never said anything
19:14about a bar.
19:18Come after me
19:19or come after anyone.
