18:44Are you done?
18:45Someone take her out and have that looked at.
18:48Nobody moves.
18:53Know your place.
18:55Mr. Reed could end your career with one phone call.
18:57So what's with the act, small town girl?
18:58Spare me the comedy.
19:00That night, Miss Sherry hired punks to go after my friend and have the whole thing filmed.
19:03The whole three of them have talked.
19:06So, are 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, you can't wrong me like this.
19:13I never said anything about a bar.
19:18Come after me, or come after anyone I care about.
19:21You'll end up just like those three guys.
19:23You hear me?
19:26No!
19:26They should let go of me!
19:28I thought you were afraid.
19:30By the way, those three are already in custody.
19:32Attempted assault, kidnapping.
19:34That's not a short sentence.
19:36They won't be out for a long time.
19:49Dr. Lane, wait!
19:53Are you coming to stand up for her, Mr. Reed?
19:56Do you hate me, Dr. Lane?
19:57Hate you?
19:58I don't know you well enough for that.
19:59You're a stranger to me, Mr. Reed, that's all.
20:01A stranger whose dinner party you just attended?
20:03You're more spontaneous than I expected.
20:06Yeah, I am.
20:07Which is exactly why you should keep your distance.
20:08Once your imagery is done, I hope we'll cross the paths again.
20:15Stubborn woman.
20:20Everything went smoothly.
20:2124 hours of observation.
20:22If there are no complications, she's in the clear.
20:25Thank you, Dr. Lane.
20:26Just doing my job.
20:27Once she's recovered, we won't need to see each other again.
20:29Do you have to be so cold about it?
20:31Hey, Ellie!
20:32Why am I so upset after she said that?
20:42Something else, Mr. Reed?
20:43I had a team evaluate you.
20:45Your work is even stronger than it was three years ago.
20:47And?
20:48I'd like to formally offer you a position at Reed Medical.
20:50Head of Neurosurgery and Deputy Director.
20:52Name your terms.
20:54Reed Medical may be private, but it's hired top doctors worldwide.
20:57You really will do anything for the woman you love, won't you?
20:59Does that mean yes?
21:01No.
21:02I'm happy where I am.
21:03She needs you, Dr. Lane.
21:04If the offer isn't enough, tell me what you want.
21:06I'll make it work.
21:07A hundred million dollars?
21:09Can you do that?
21:09Done.
21:10I'll have finance transfer it now.
21:11I didn't think he'd actually go that far for her.
21:14I changed my mind.
21:15Sorry.
21:16Dr. Lane.
21:17There's being greedy, and 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 doesn't do much for me.
21:24Really?
21:25Then what would?
21:26Go down to the main lobby.
21:28Shout, I'm a jerk, three times in front of everyone.
21:30Do that, and I'll join Reed Medical.
21:33Are you serious?
21:34Do I seem like someone who jokes around with strangers?
21:38All I wanted was to get even.
21:40If I didn't have to keep a low profile, I 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 enough to do something this small.
21:49Dr. Lane.
21:50A hundred million is serious money.
21:52If it's not enough, I can go higher.
21:54So that's a no.
21:55Exit's that way.
21:55Goodbye.
22:01Sir, I looked into it.
22:03The bar accident wasn't random.
22:05Miss Sherry paid those men.
22:06There was a third one filming.
22:07Dr. Lane wasn't lying.
22:09Take care of those three.
22:11Make it right on Dr. Lane's behalf.
22:15Understood.
22:16Tell me something.
22:17Why do you think she'd walk away from a hundred million just to make it look stupid in public?
22:21What does that say to you?
22:22Sir, it sounds like she might have feelings for you.
22:25For me?
22:27Feelings for me?
22:28So she's jealous.
22:29That's why she wanted me to...
22:32The divorce agreement is signed.
22:34Get it to her.
22:35Handle the paperwork at the courthouse in a month.
22:37Yes, sir.
22:39Though, sir, aren't you even a little curious what she looks like?
22:44Why would I be?
22:45Well, if you walked right past her and didn't recognize her, that'd only make it worse.
22:49You've got an image to protect, sir.
22:50You really want her telling people you're a deadbeat?
22:52My image needs protectant by someone I'll never see again?
22:55Ridiculous.
22:56Though I suppose one look won't hurt.
22:58I want to see who's giving me this much grief.
23:02Dr. Lane!
23:18Lucas!
23:20Great.
23:24I came in to get it changed.
23:25Will you come with me?
23:27Okay.
23:28Okay.
23:29Okay.
23:32Okay.
23:34Need me to call a wheelchair for you, Mrs. Sherry?
23:38I just twisted my ankle.
23:40I didn't mean to grab him.
23:42Don't read into it.
23:43You've been practicing that move for a while, haven't you?
23:45Works pretty well, though.
23:46Mr. Reed seems to fall for it every time.
23:47Do I?
23:50Taking her side, Mr. Reed?
23:52Dr. Lane, you like me.
23:54I'm sorry.
23:55That's a condition, Mr. Reed.
23:55You should get that checked.
23:57If you don't like me, why do you keep going after the women around me?
24:01I...
24:01I'm going after you, not them.
24:04Fine.
24:05Doesn't matter.
24:06I am not letting him find out who I am before the divorce is finalized.
24:11Called it.
24:12She likes me.
24:14Clear your schedule for the next month.
24:17Why?
24:19I think you know why.
24:20I think you know why.
24:27Coco, let's go grab a drink.
24:29Two pains in the ass after work.
24:32Best night ever.
24:33Top me up.
24:34I can keep going.
24:35Sure you can.
24:36Let's get you home first.
24:37I still can't believe it.
24:39The Nanshore rich guy you told me about.
24:41The cheating, useless one.
24:44Lucas Reed.
24:46What a piece of work.
24:47Is this how you talk about people behind their backs, Dr. Lane?
24:52I don't know.
24:52I don't know about a human.
24:58That was wrong of me.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:00Though, why are you here?
25:02And don't tell me you're not following me.
25:04Following you?
25:05Do I need your permission to come home, Dr. Lane?
25:10Don't tell me that's your place.
25:13Fingerprint recognized.
25:14Welcome home.
25:16He lives across the hall from me?
25:18Now, Dr. Lane, want to explain what you're doing here?
25:20I think you're the one who's following me.
25:23I don't know.
25:27Fingerprint recognized.
25:32And you want me to believe this is a coincidence?
25:34I have no idea how this happened.
25:36I'll find a new place tomorrow.
25:41Sophie, the place you got me is right across from Lucas.
25:44I need to find somewhere else, far, far away from that bastard.
25:52Mr. Reed, it's quite late.
25:53Is there something you need?
25:54Still no contact with her about the paperwork?
25:55She's blocked me, sir.
25:57After she left the estate, she never went back.
25:58We can't locate her, but I'll keep trying.
26:00Find her, get it done.
26:01Whatever she wants in compensation, agree to it.
26:03You never once came to bother me, though.
26:05I'll give you what you're owed.
26:06Once it's done, we're finished.
26:14Miss Quinn, bad news.
26:16Horizon Capital reported our streamers for misconduct and tax evasion.
26:19Coco's phone?
26:21Jamie, it's me, Elena.
26:23Coco isn't awake yet.
26:24Talk to me.
26:24I'll handle it.
26:25Horizon is LNR Group streaming division.
26:27Word is Miss Quinn crossed the LNR Group CEO.
26:30He's coming after us personally.
26:32The LNR Group CEO?
26:34Lucas Reed?
26:42The cheating, useless one?
26:45Lucas Reed?
26:46What a piece of work.
26:51Some bad-mouthing and he goes this hard?
27:01Dr. Lane, I didn't think we were close enough for early morning phone calls.
27:04Mr. Reed?
27:05Just because Coco cursed you out drunk, you're shutting her whole operation down over that?
27:08What are you talking about?
27:09Don't play dumb.
27:10Did you or didn't you order a hit on her company?
27:12You're saying I went after your friend from last night?
27:15Didn't you?
27:17Look, what she said was on me.
27:18I'm so sorry.
27:19Come after me if you have a problem.
27:20But call it off.
27:21What makes you think I have to accept your apology?
27:29Sir, we never touched Miss Quinn's company.
27:32Why didn't you just say so?
27:33She came at me without knowing the facts.
27:36I don't owe her an explanation.
27:39Ellie, I'm sorry.
27:40I dragged you into this.
27:42It's fine.
27:43Lucas is doing this to get back at me.
27:45I'll go deal with him myself.
27:51I'm sorry, Miss Lane.
27:52Mr. Reed says he won't see you.
27:54That's just petty.
27:56Dr. Lane.
27:57What a surprise.
27:59Morning, Miss Sherry.
27:59Are you here for Mr. Reed?
28:01Lunch with Lucas, yes.
28:03Dr. Lane, you're here for him too?
28:05He's not exactly easy to get in front of.
28:07But I can bring you up with me if you'd like.
28:12I'm not someone who shows up on demand.
28:14Could you pass a message along?
28:16Tell him we're even.
28:17And after this, we're done.
28:27Sophie, do you have any contacts in the streaming world?
28:30This is about Coco's company?
28:33Some.
28:35But the moment they hear it means going up against Lucas Reed,
28:38they'll back off.
28:39Nobody in Nanshore wants that fight.
28:42Then we handle it ourselves.
28:44You'd use our own resources?
28:45That'll expose you as the person behind Nexus Tech.
28:48Coco's my best friend.
28:49I have to.
28:50Don't worry.
28:51As long as you're the face of the company,
28:53Lucas won't be able to trace it back to me.
29:01I didn't think we were close enough for drop-in visits, Mr. Stranger.
29:04Sharp tongue.
29:07Stranger, huh?
29:08Then I'm asking you as a patient's family member,
29:10go check on the patient, will you?
29:12Family member.
29:13You want me to smile and go check on your girlfriend?
29:18The surgery went well.
29:20She's not in danger.
29:21I'm a doctor, not a personal attendant.
29:23Does it have to be like this every time?
29:26How I talk to someone depends on who they are.
29:28You're nothing to me, Mr. Reed.
29:29Why would I treat you any differently?
29:31I haven't done anything to you, Dr. Lane.
29:33This morning, your front desk turned me away,
29:34and now you're here asking for favors?
29:36All this for her.
29:37I wonder if your ex-wife knew.
29:38What would she think?
29:39My ex-wife?
29:42What does she have to do with any of this?
29:43Wait, the front desk turned you away this morning?
29:46Are you playing dumb?
29:48Sorry, I have patience to see, Mr. Reed.
29:50I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
29:59Who gave the front desk that order?
30:01Miss Sherry, sir.
30:02She told them to stop any woman coming to see you.
30:06Bar her from the building.
30:08Anyone who lets her in is fired.
30:09Yes, sir.
30:13Well, well, Mr. Busyman asks me for coffee.
30:16All right, what's this about?
30:17I have a friend, hypothetically.
30:19This friend has a misunderstanding with a woman.
30:21How does he fix it?
30:24A friend.
30:26Right.
30:27Has he been seeing that Dr. Lane I helped him look into?
30:29Easy, buy her a gift.
30:31Though for someone at Dr. Lane's level,
30:33I wouldn't really know where to start.
30:34I never said it was Dr. Lane.
30:38That reaction says it all.
30:39Okay, okay, my mistake.
30:40Flowers work.
30:41Or make her something.
30:42Personal effort goes a long way.
30:46People give me gifts.
30:48I'm not the one who gives them.
30:49Flowers?
30:50Handmade things?
30:52Absolutely not.
31:00Which woman did he pick those up from?
31:03Disgusting.
31:04That face.
31:05Does she not like roses?
31:07Or does she not like getting them from me?
31:15Hey, Dr. Lane.
31:17If there's something you need, Mr. Reed.
31:19There is.
31:23I haven't eaten.
31:28So why do I care?
31:29Don't tell me you want to eat here.
31:32Watch your tone, woman.
31:34Hold this.
31:41That's breaking and intendering, Mr. Reed.
31:44I will call the police.
31:51This cover it?
31:53I'm not a free floater.
31:54I'm a neurosurgeon.
31:56I run a tech company on the side.
31:57You think I need that?
32:02Found out who's behind it.
32:03Sherry, jealous of Coco, curred favor with Horizon Capital behind everyone's backs to take her down.
32:08Lucas wasn't involved.
32:09So it wasn't him?
32:10Not at all.
32:11Sherry did this on her own.
32:12Lucas doesn't know a thing.
32:18I really wronged him.
32:20Since you're being so generous, fine.
32:22Wait here.
32:24Your advice was useless.
32:25I figured it out myself.
32:27What did you do?
32:29You just threw money at it?
32:32Money solves everything.
32:40What are you doing?
32:41It's almost ready.
32:42Just go sit down.
32:42I was waiting for Sophie to help me cook.
32:44Then he showed up.
32:45Fine.
32:46I owe him one.
32:47Guess I'll wing it in the kitchen.
32:51Here.
32:51Let me.
32:52Don't tell me you actually know how to cook.
32:54Probably better than you'd expect.
32:59Can't deny it.
33:00Pretty people make everything look good.
33:02Dr. Lane, ease up with the eyes.
33:03I can feel it.
33:09Okay, flowers.
33:11Cooking.
33:12What do you actually want, Mr. Reed?
33:14Is this about checking on your patient?
33:19Can I come by without an agenda?
33:26Why does my heart do that when he looks at me?
33:31Go watch Netflix.
33:32I've got this.
33:33Right.
33:33Okay.
33:33I'm leaving.
33:41It's ready.
33:48About Coco's company.
33:49I had it wrong.
33:50I'm sorry.
33:51Okay.
33:52That's it?
33:53What else do you want me to say?
33:54You know, throw some shade, curse me out, whatever.
33:56And why no explanation?
33:57I'm a generous person, and you were furious.
33:59You wouldn't have heard a word I said.
34:01So, eat.
34:03I didn't know Lucas Reed had this side to him.
34:08Sir, the afternoon meeting's off.
34:10They rescheduled?
34:12Sir?
34:14Since when does he smile like that?
34:20Sir?
34:21Oh, okay.
34:22Got it.
34:23Since the meeting's canceled, should I schedule dinner with Mr. Channing this afternoon?
34:26No.
34:28I'm going to the hospital.
34:31Mr. Reed is way off today.
34:33And why the hospital trip?
34:38Don't those need signing?
34:42That friend of Dr. Lane's, Coco, her company trouble might be on us.
34:45Sort it out.
34:46Actually, sir, Nexus Tech has already stepped in.
34:49Nexus Tech?
34:50They only operate overseas.
34:52Why would they suddenly help a local streaming company?
34:54I'm not sure either.
34:55There's no info on the big boss behind Nexus Tech.
34:57No idea why they'd get involved.
34:59Nexus is our biggest competitor for the overseas market.
35:01We can't expand internationally with them in the way.
35:04Look into the person behind Nexus.
35:05Let me know as soon as you find anything.
35:12Dr. Lane.
35:16Ethan, you're finally back.
35:18Business kept me off sores.
35:19First thing I did when I landed was come find you.
35:21Get in.
35:21I'm taking you to eat.
35:22Call Sophie.
35:23The three of us haven't eaten together in ages.
35:26Grandma took us in.
35:27Elena's always seen you as her big brother.
35:29Now your feelings changed.
35:31When will you tell her?
35:33Not yet.
35:34When the time is right.
35:35Then I'll sit out the first dinner.
35:37You two catch up.
35:39Sophie has a work dinner.
35:40She'll catch up with us another time.
35:49Isn't that Lucas' car?
35:50What's he doing here?
35:55Is he here for Elena?
35:57He has feelings for her too?
36:00That's your ex-husband.
36:01Are you two still in contact?
36:05Just work stuff.
36:07Someone's been quietly digging into Nexus Tech's ownership.
36:09From what I can tell, it's him.
36:11Why would he investigate me?
36:13Nexus doesn't compete with L&R Group directly.
36:15I'm not sure what he's after.
36:16But don't worry, he won't trace it back to you.
36:18Is there any chance it's you two get back together?
36:20We never even met during the marriage.
36:22He never cared about me.
36:23No way we're getting back together.
36:29She's never smiled at me like that.
36:34Come have a drink with me.
36:37Nathan, what does it feel like to actually like someone?
36:40You've fallen for Dr. Lane, haven't you?
36:42I can see it.
36:44Whatever you feel for her, it's different.
36:45If it's real, go after her.
36:48She's not picking up.
36:49Doesn't sound like this is going to be easy.
36:54Who was that?
36:55Why did he pick you up and drop you off?
36:56Why didn't you answer my calls?
36:58He means Ethan?
36:59Let go of me!
37:00You're the last person who gets to ask.
37:02And you don't get to decide whether I answer my phone.
37:05Last person?
37:06You were supposed to be the man who treated me best.
37:08But you left and cheated.
37:09You have no right to interfere in my life anymore.
37:11So because I was married, you're keeping your distance?
37:14When are you going to stop hiding?
37:14Don't flatter yourself!
37:15I'm just...
37:25Have you lost your mind?
37:37What are you doing here?
37:39Are you scared of me?
37:41You're talking nonsense.
37:43Then why are you avoiding me?
37:45Because I don't trust myself not to hit you again.
37:47I'm not avoiding anyone.
37:48If not, why did you leave so early this morning?
37:50My commute is none of your business.
37:51Unlike some people, I actually have a job to do.
37:54You're this upset.
37:55Was that your first kiss last night?
37:58Please.
37:58I've kissed plenty of people.
38:00You were honestly the worst.
38:01What?
38:01Who are they?
38:02That's not your business either.
38:03Whatever happened before, I'll let it go.
38:06But going forward, that's not okay.
38:08What are you even talking about?
38:10If you came about last night, I'm willing to forget it happened.
38:12You can leave.
38:13I already slapped him.
38:15I spent all night thinking about how to apologize.
38:18And she's more over it than I am.
38:21Fine.
38:22Good to know you're so unbothered, Eller Lane.
38:24I guess I don't owe you anything then.
38:27That was my first kiss.
38:28And it went to that idiot.
38:31Sir, trouble!
38:32Someone leaked your marriage.
38:33They say you cheated with Miss Sherry.
38:34She's getting trolled online.
38:35Her accounts are flooded.
38:35Find out who did this.
38:37Now!
38:38Sir, the divorce isn't final yet.
38:40This will hurt the stock price.
38:42Hardly anyone knows the truth.
38:44Should I reach out to your ex-wife and ask her to help clear things up?
38:48No.
38:50She never came to me in three years.
38:52I can't go to her now, and I don't want her involved.
38:57Dr. Lane, you've gone too far.
38:58I only told you that he got married.
38:59How could you sell that to the media?
39:00Wait.
39:01Dr. Lane outbowed Lucas Reed for cheating?
39:03No way.
39:04I always thought she seemed decent.
39:08Do you have proof?
39:09Because if not, expect a lawyer's letter.
39:11Barely anyone knew he'd been married.
39:13Who else would it be?
39:14I can't speak for everyone else, but I'd take a closer look at yourself.
39:17What's that supposed to mean?
39:19Relationship with him officially, him to commit.
39:22Fine.
39:22But leave me out of it.
39:26I know you like Lucas, Dr. Lane.
39:27But you can't just accuse me like this.
39:29There's nothing going on between us.
39:30Miss, chin up!
39:31The one not loved is the extra one, and make it to your fingers?
39:34All I need is a public apology.
39:36Dr. Lane, do that, and we're done here.
39:38Someone does owe an apology.
39:48Here we go.
39:49A billionaire saving his girl in public?
39:51I have never seen this in real life.
39:52This is a textbook love story.
39:54Lucas, why are you here?
39:56Don't be too hard on Dr. Lane.
39:57It was my fault.
40:00I should have kept my mouth shut.
40:01I understand why she's upset with me.
40:03I don't blame her.
40:05Are you here to pile on, too?
40:06Sherry, apologize to Dr. Lane.
40:09Me?
40:09Lucas, I think you have this backwards.
40:11The leak, the lie, the setup, all you.
40:14Don't think you need to apologize?
40:16So Sherry staged the whole thing.
40:18It's dark.
40:19Lucas, there's been a misunderstanding.
40:20It wasn't me, it was Dr. Lane.
40:23You had your chance.
40:24You're done working for me.
40:26Ryan, hand her over to the police.
40:32Yes, sir.
40:33Lucas, please, I didn't mean for any of this!
40:44How did you know to come?
40:45That's your idea of a thank you.
40:47If it weren't for me, you'd still be the villain right now.
40:51I could have sorted it out myself.
40:53Fine, thanks.
40:55That's it?
40:56If you're grateful, you have to actually show it.
40:58It's getting late.
41:00To show my sincerity, dinner at my place?
41:03Let's see how long you last.
41:05Sure.
41:08Do you realize what you're saying?
41:10Don't come crying to me when you're keeled over.
41:12How could I turn down your sincerity?
41:14I don't have groceries.
41:15I drove here.
41:16I'll take you.
41:20I've got it.
41:29Since when are they that close?
41:31I thought they were divorced.
41:32Why are they still...
41:37That smells so good.
41:43Ow!
41:44Hold that.
41:48You okay?
41:49Should I get you to a hospital?
41:52Did it blister?
41:54Let me take you to the hospital.
41:55In this hazy room between us...
41:59Breath on my neck, you lean and fall, so...
42:13If Lucas finds out how close Ethan and I are, he'll dig into it.
42:16And that could lead him straight to Nexus Tech.
42:19Etho, what are you doing here?
42:21Etho?
42:22How chummy.
42:24You weren't picking up.
42:25I grabbed dessert from your favorite place.
42:27I can't believe he's actually here.
42:29He doesn't seem to know she's his ex-wife, though.
42:31Ellie, who's this?
42:33What does he mean?
42:34Oh, Ethan didn't want Lucas to know that he's my ex.
42:36My neighbor from across the hall.
42:37I owe him a favor.
42:38That's why he's here for dinner.
42:41Sorry, neighbor.
42:42Didn't know you'd be here, so I only got dessert for two.
42:44An aisle I always liked.
42:46Did you keep him here for me?
42:47I just bought those randomly.
42:49What is he doing?
42:58Ellie, I haven't eaten.
42:59Could you grab me some cutlery from the kitchen?
43:05So, neighbor.
43:07I hear you've been married.
43:09How come your wife isn't here?
43:11He has something against me.
43:13He already knows I was married.
43:14Did Elena tell him?
43:19You always remember.
43:21You're okay with a whiskey sour, neighbor?
43:25I'm fine, thanks.
43:29What is going on with Ethan right now?
43:51This is overcooked.
43:52And the soup's a bit flat.
43:54Ellie, you can't serve guest food like this.
43:57Is it?
43:58Elena seems to like it.
43:59That's enough for me.
44:00Anyone who doesn't enjoy it is welcome to stop eating.
44:07Do you two have some kind of history?
44:09Of course not.
44:10I've never met this man before.
44:11What kind of grudge could I have against a stranger?
44:14None here either.
44:16Fine.
44:17Are you both done?
44:18If you're done, just leave.
44:19I...
44:19The food was too bad to finish.
44:23I'll clean up before I go.
44:25Some of us actually care about Ellie.
44:28Ethan, please.
44:30Cleaning up is what housekeepers are for.
44:32I'll pass.
44:32I had dessert sent over, by the way.
44:34Unlike some people, I brought enough for everyone.
44:51Is he trying to make me explode?
44:55Sir, the slippers you asked for.
44:56Your preferred style wins.
44:58There's a new pair that's on the list.
45:01There's another man here.
45:03Wow.
45:03Dr. Lane is playing a wild game.
45:09You can go.
45:13The most interesting thing that's happened all year and I'm being dismissed?
45:28Ellie only ever likes the one place.
45:30All this?
45:31What a waste.
45:33A change is good sometimes.
45:35Right, Dr. Lane?
45:52Happy now?
45:54Both of you?
45:59Great.
46:00Then you can both leave.
46:15Say hi to your wife for me, neighbor.
46:17We should all have dinner sometime, the four of us.
46:21True.
46:21Though I wonder, do you think she knows how little you cared?
46:24I imagine she probably despises you.
46:26None of your business.
46:29None of your business.
46:37Sir, a fight?
46:38I'm downstairs.
46:39How many bodyguards do you need?
46:40I'm worried you can't handle it alone.
46:41Nobody's fighting.
46:42Go find out who that man is and what he is to Dr. Lane.
46:44Everything.
46:44Already on it, sir.
46:45His full name is Ethan Lane.
46:47His background's buried deep.
46:48I barely got anything.
46:49But he's tied to Nexus Tech.
46:51Seems like he's got serious backing.
46:52Nexus Tech?
47:02Keep digging.
47:04And the moment you have anything on whoever's running Nexus, tell me.
47:10Yes, sir.
47:11They know each other.
47:12Is Elena connected to Nexus, too?
47:16Sir, Ms. Sherry gets out today.
47:17What should we do about her going forward?
47:19Pick her up, but don't give her any work.
47:21Since she went after me publicly, there are consequences for that.
47:24She's already out, actually.
47:25She went straight to a hospital.
47:27Which one?
47:28Hargrove.
47:30Cancel the afternoon meeting.
47:38You really love hospitals, Ms. Sherry.
47:40You went straight from the police station to here.
47:42What, ready for round two?
47:44Take it!
47:44And disappear!
47:46Lucas is out of your league!
47:49And he's in yours?
47:51Don't push me, Elena.
47:52Take the money, stay away from him, and I'll forget everything that's happened.
47:55Otherwise...
47:55Otherwise what?
47:56You'll ruin my reputation?
47:57Have someone rough me up?
47:59Oh, I'm so terrified.
48:04I'm so terrified.
48:07Bitch!
48:17How dare you hit me!
48:19That's a warning.
48:20Leave me alone, and I leave you alone.
48:22Push me again, and next time it won't just be a wine bottle near your throat.
48:32And this one's for Coco.
48:34Touch her again, and I will come for you.
48:36She is not someone you want to mess with.
48:38So you're the one who saved her company?
48:40Yes.
48:42Sir, I just got word.
48:43Nexus Tech stepped in and sorted out Ms. Quincy's company.
48:46So you're the one who saved her company?
48:48Yes.
48:49Though whoever's running Nexus, there's still nothing on them.
48:53Elena is the person behind Nexus.
49:01Stay away from me.
49:03This is your final warning.
49:15Don't blame Dr. Lane.
49:16She didn't push me.
49:18You think I pushed her too?
49:20I saw it.
49:20She fell on her own.
49:21Nothing to do with you.
49:22Lucas, I...
49:23Get her looked at.
49:27So, what are you doing here?
49:30I was passing by.
49:33Yeah, right.
49:34I heard what you two talked earlier.
49:36So you were the one who helped Coco.
49:38But from what I know, that was Nexus Tech.
49:40Are you connected to them?
49:42Nope.
49:42I was just saying it to scare her off to stop her going after Coco again.
49:46You actually believed that?
49:50That was close.
49:54Sir, news on your wife.
49:57Did you reach her?
49:58I did.
49:59Everything's arranged.
50:00She'll be at the courthouse tomorrow to finalize the divorce.
50:02Should I go in your place as planned?
50:04Yes, sir.
50:05Wait.
50:07Sir.
50:09So, neighbor.
50:10I hear you've been married.
50:12How come your wife isn't here?
50:14I'll handle it myself.
50:15You don't need to keep passing messages.
50:17Yes, sir.
50:18We do need to sit down to settle this once and for all.
50:21Once it's done, no one can use this against me.
50:23And I can go all in on Elena officially.
50:33Tomorrow's the day.
50:34You okay?
50:34I'm fine.
50:35Just three years.
50:37It's a lot to close a door on.
50:39Stop thinking about it.
50:40The second you sign those papers, the new chapter starts.
50:43Then we party.
50:52Where is she?
50:53Ryan, she said there's traffic.
50:54She should be close.
51:12The woman I'm here to divorce is Elena?
51:18He actually came himself.
51:20Fine.
51:21Once that's done, I'll be totally done with him.
51:28Dr. Lane, emergency brain cancer surgery needed.
51:30It's too complicated.
51:31No one else will take it.
51:32Please come back.
51:33Okay, I'll be right back.
51:38Where is she going?
51:40Isn't she my wife?
51:48Ryan, get to the courthouse.
51:49Sir, aren't you already there?
51:50Something came up.
51:50I gotta go first.
51:51She looked rattled.
51:52It had to be an emergency.
51:53If the paperwork goes through, she's not my wife.
51:55If it doesn't...
52:05What are you doing here?
52:06Did he figure it out?
52:08Is that why he's here?
52:09You left in such a rush.
52:10I got worried.
52:11So I followed.
52:18There's something I need to tell you.
52:20There's something I need to tell you.
