00:00I see her.
00:02Karen invited me to the party, but she didn't say it was snake-themed.
00:09Probably just a fashion thing.
00:13Why did you show up dressed like you're trying to steal the whole night?
00:16Wait, what?
00:17Karen, I would never...
00:18Relax, I'm teasing. Honestly, you look amazing.
00:21Half the guys here can't stop staring.
00:23Karen brought a human again. Interesting.
00:25Do me a favor.
00:26Sure, of course.
00:27Find my dad. He just got back from a trip and he's hiding somewhere.
00:30Drag him out here, will you? I want to have a bit more fun before he shows up.
00:33Easy.
00:40Hi, Mr. Vaughn. Are you in here?
00:42What? Why does he look that good? There's no way he can be so hot.
00:46Careful. Something spilled on the floor.
00:50It was close, Sarah.
00:52He's twice my age. My best friend's father.
00:55So why did my heart just stop?
00:57And why is his skin cold when I suddenly feel so warm?
01:03Sorry, I spilled some wine earlier.
01:05She sent me to check on you. Said you might need a hand.
01:08You must be Karen's firecracker friend. I've heard about you.
01:14Whoa, what the hell?
01:23She's warm. Warmer than anyone I've touched in years.
01:26He's freezing. How is he this cold?
01:28Stop. Move your hand, Leo. Move it.
01:38Sorry, I am just afraid of the dark.
01:43It's dangerous for me to touch her.
01:46My snake nature could poison her.
01:57Zara.
02:00Oh, God. I didn't mean to...
02:02It's fine.
02:04Zara! Where are you?
02:07Girl, I thought you vanished.
02:09The outage scared everyone off.
02:10Come help me with my gifts.
02:12Why did I hug him like that?
02:13Why did I grab him like that?
02:14Why was his face so close and why didn't I...
02:16Hello?
02:17Earth to Zara?
02:20Sorry, I think I am hungry.
02:21That's why.
02:22Don't worry, come on.
02:23There's food at the garden.
02:24Oh, and have you seen my dad?
02:25Oh, yes. He is at the study room getting the drinks.
02:29That's so like him.
02:32Speaking of my dad, you know the company you applied for internships?
02:36Harrow & Cross?
02:37Well, my dad was elected the new CEO of that company.
02:44Harrow & Cross doesn't take interns.
02:47They take legacy.
02:49Old money, old names, old blood.
02:52I applied on a scholarship and a portfolio I spent four months building.
02:59I have neither.
03:01Why is my skin still warm after she touched me?
03:04That's not supposed to happen.
03:05We're cold-blooded.
03:08She was terrified.
03:10Was she afraid of the dark?
03:11Or me?
03:12Did she sense something?
03:23Dad!
03:25Dad!
03:26Come help.
03:27You've been hiding all night.
03:28Just giving the spotlight to the birthday girl.
03:34Guess what?
03:36Zara made the short list for the internship at your company.
03:41Is that so?
03:44I suppose we'll be seeing more of each other.
03:49Looks like it.
03:50She's so excited.
03:51I told her no one's going to bully her with you in charge.
03:54As long as I'm there, no one will dare trouble her.
03:57Why did he say that?
04:03She looks so vulnerable.
04:13Good morning, sir.
04:15I wanted to talk to you before we start the day.
04:20Yes.
04:21Is everything okay?
04:23About last night, I panicked.
04:28I've had a severe phobia of the dark since I was a child.
04:33I could tell.
04:38Tell me, Zara.
04:41Is that how you always respond when the lights go out?
04:45By throwing yourself into the nearest pair of arms?
04:50It's an involuntary reflex.
04:53It feels like the darkness is swallowing me whole.
04:57It never goes away.
04:59I can feel a freezing chill coming off him.
05:04Fear is just energy misdirected.
05:06There is a technique.
05:07A primitive magic of the mind.
05:10Therapists call it the butterfly hug.
05:12Tap your shoulders.
05:14Alternating.
05:14Left, then right.
05:17Like wings.
05:23Why do I feel so good when I'm around him?
05:31It grounds you.
05:34It pulls you out of the past and traps you right here.
05:39With me.
05:40Can you feel it, Zara?
05:49Am I interrupting?
05:54Claire, you're early.
05:56This is Zara, our new intern.
05:59Zara.
05:59Ziska's Claire Vance.
06:00She runs PR.
06:02Nice to meet you, Miss Vance.
06:06Likewise, sweetheart.
06:09Try not to mess up.
06:10Take this.
06:12Turn this outline
06:13into a manuscript pitch.
06:17You have a week.
06:18You can go now.
06:21She's pretty.
06:22A bit fragile, though.
06:24Is she your new toy, Leo?
06:28Or just a little mouse you brought in?
06:30Enough, Claire.
06:32Keep your venom out of my office.
06:36Still mad at me about what happened?
06:38I'm not mad, Claire.
06:41I just prefer to work alone these days.
06:43Get out.
06:54Mom?
06:55I'm back.
06:56Are you home?
06:58Mom?
07:00Oh, my God.
07:01Mom?
07:03Mom!
07:04Wake up!
07:05Please!
07:08Your mother consumed a dangerous amount of alcohol,
07:10and her body went into shock.
07:11We'll need to keep her under observation
07:13and psychiatric evaluation for 72 hours.
07:15Right.
07:17Okay.
07:19You should go home.
07:20You can't help her right now.
07:22Don't talk.
07:46Are you kidding me?
07:48It's just a bottle.
07:49A stupid bottle.
07:51But I can't open it.
07:52I can't help my mother.
07:53I can't do anything.
07:59Need help with that?
08:02Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb anyone.
08:07You didn't.
08:08I came down for water, too.
08:12That was my water.
08:15You have it back.
08:16His lips were just on this.
08:19I just want to protect her from all this.
08:21But I'm scared I'll freak her out.
08:24Especially if she sees what I really am.
08:28How are you feeling?
08:29Karen told me.
08:31I hope you're okay.
08:32I'm fine.
08:36Zara.
08:37They said she drank too much.
08:40She promised me she'd stop drinking.
08:42I just...
08:42I don't know what to do anymore.
08:44Sometimes people hide their worst battles from the ones they love most.
08:48Especially parents.
08:49They think shielding you is a form of love.
08:53Is it still love if it wrecks everything?
08:55Love doesn't always look the way it should.
08:58But it's still love.
08:59She doesn't deserve this.
09:01And I'm sitting here stealing her warmth like it belongs to me.
09:05If I touch you right now, I'm your friend's father anymore.
09:08I'm just a man who couldn't help it.
09:13Didn't realize it's already five.
09:14I should head out for my run.
09:16Oh, okay.
09:17I better leave you to it.
09:19You can always rely on me.
09:26I'm already running late.
09:30Whoa there.
09:31That's one way to make an entrance.
09:33Oh god, I'm so sorry.
09:34I wasn't looking.
09:36Zara Collins.
09:37The new girl.
09:38You already look like trouble.
09:40The good kind of trouble.
09:41Doesn't change the fact that you are trouble.
09:49I wasn't aware interns had time to socialize with executives.
09:53Good morning.
09:53I apologize.
09:54I just bumped into Mr.
09:56Elijah.
09:57Elijah Stone.
10:00You're Karen's friend, aren't you?
10:03Yes.
10:04We've known each other for years.
10:07How interesting.
10:10Mrs. Collins, your mother left the hospital without being discharged.
10:13Security is trying to locate her now.
10:15Sorry, I need to go.
10:20Should I be worried about you?
10:22Why aren't you back here, Zara?
10:30Zara.
10:32Leaving early?
10:34That's not your style.
10:35I have somewhere to be.
10:40I feel like there's something going on between him and that girl.
10:44The hospital said she was last seen at reception.
10:47I searched everywhere, the pharmacy, even the alley behind the liquor board.
10:51And now I'm drinking to stop the fear.
10:53If only she hadn't run.
10:59Mom, why did you do this?
11:09What are you doing here?
11:11A firecracker shouldn't be left out in the rain.
11:23I wanted to, but I can't do that with her.
11:28You are drunk.
11:29How convenient.
11:30You should have seen your face.
11:32Your lips.
11:34How did you find me, sir?
11:37The rain's too heavy to drive back.
11:39I'll get her a hotel room.
11:40We'll come home tomorrow.
11:41Okay, Dad.
11:41You take care.
11:42Thank you for looking out for her.
11:46I just spoke to Karen.
11:47She knows that you are in safe hands now.
11:50Let's get you a place to crash.
12:01I am really sorry for being a burden.
12:08We want two rooms, please.
12:11Here, two rooms for you and the miss.
12:14I think I have to watch over her.
12:16She is drunk.
12:17We would have one room.
12:18I hate myself.
12:19I hate her.
12:20She made me like this.
12:21I always hide because of her.
12:23My dad left when I was ten and they never stopped fighting.
12:26After that, she was a mess.
12:29Drinking.
12:29Always drinking.
12:30And I just...
12:31I don't know anymore.
12:33Trust me.
12:34I know what it's like coming from a broken home.
12:36But I didn't let it define me.
12:39But...
12:40Don't let it define you, Zara.
12:42You are not her and you would never be.
12:48Your hand is so cold.
12:53They usually are.
12:55I almost kissed me when you were still nice to me.
12:58Why?
13:00Why do I feel this way?
13:02If I kiss her now,
13:05I won't stop.
13:11If I stay on this bed one more second,
13:13I'll do something I can't take back.
13:15You could have kissed me earlier.
13:16In the rain.
13:17I wanted you to.
13:19I know.
13:23Then why didn't you?
13:30Because I want you to remember our kiss.
13:38I'll freshen up.
13:39You can have the bed.
13:40I will take the sofa.
13:50Last night I was drunk.
13:52I'm not now.
13:56So you can't tell me it wasn't real.
14:02It's real.
14:03That's exactly why we can't.
14:06Get dressed.
14:08Karen's waiting.
14:12My love!
14:13You are back.
14:14You had me so worried.
14:18Let's give her a breather.
14:19She is still recovering from everything.
14:21Let me get some water for you to drink.
14:27I'm sorry about last night.
14:28I was drunk and...
14:29You were drunk.
14:30Forget it.
14:30It happens.
14:32If there are any consequences,
14:33I'll accept them.
14:36Zara,
14:37don't bring up last night again.
14:39It was a mistake.
14:40You weren't yourself.
14:43Is everything okay, Dad?
14:46Is everything okay?
14:50Zara had too much to drink last night.
14:51She didn't want to worry you.
14:53I didn't want you to think I was turning into her.
14:56I feel so ashamed.
14:59I never lie to Carrie.
15:00Why now?
15:07We have found Mrs. Collins
15:08and we are taking her home now.
15:09She looks quite sober.
15:10Okay, I would inform her daughter now.
15:12Just ask the boys to watch her at home.
15:13Boss,
15:14next time you wake your best friend at night
15:15for a favor,
15:16at least say thank you.
15:17Do me one last favor.
15:18Come and pick her up.
15:20Your mother's been found.
15:22Don't worry.
15:23Freshen up.
15:24I've sent someone to bring you.
15:34Is this my ride?
15:39You?
15:42The universe keeps throwing us together.
15:44Maybe it's a sign.
15:45We've only met twice.
15:46Why would an executive pick me up?
15:47Because your boss is my best friend
15:48and I owe him a favor.
15:55See you again, new girl.
16:00My beautiful baby!
16:01I have missed you!
16:03The only thing worse than a sad, drunken mom
16:05is a happy, drunken one.
16:06And this does not look good.
16:10Mom, we need to talk.
16:12I think you have to go back to rehab.
16:14I'm fine.
16:14I just passed out from being tired.
16:16Let's talk about your rich friends instead.
16:17You have been hiding them from me.
16:18I'm not hiding anything.
16:19I just want you to be okay.
16:21That is the only important thing right now.
16:23You selfish brat!
16:24Money is the only thing that will fix me.
16:26Stop hiding your rich friends from me!
16:31Tell me that you called them.
16:32I'm sorry, Mom, but I had to.
16:34They will help you.
16:37No, no, you ungrateful little...
16:40You will regret this!
16:42I wish you were never born!
16:44God, I'll lose you!
16:54Karen, they took her to rehab.
16:56I feel awful, but I know it's for the best.
16:58Why don't you move in with us for now?
17:00My dad won't mind.
17:01I really don't know what I would do without you.
17:13I feel so awkward about agreeing to leave my mom and move away.
17:19I feel especially guilty that I want to be close to him,
17:23my best friend's dad.
17:29He's just a man.
17:32But why does he make it so hard to breathe?
17:37Oh my God, what am I doing?
17:43Wait.
17:46What is that?
17:49Zara?
17:49You should turn around, Zara.
17:52Run!
17:52Why are you still standing here?
17:57Fuck.
18:00What are you?
18:07Something you should run from.
18:10Then why can't I move?
18:12Dad!
18:14Are you still awake?
18:17Zara, get in here.
18:22What's wrong with your skin?
18:23Dad, I just wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready.
18:26Okay, honey.
18:27I'll be right down.
18:31You didn't have to pull me in here like that.
18:32Would you rather Karen found you staring at me half naked?
18:38You think this is funny?
18:39Yes, Zara.
18:40I think it's funny my daughter's best friend was spying on you.
18:43I was just passing by.
18:44I really didn't mean to...
18:45What are you doing, Zara?
18:47First the attempted kiss, now this?
18:49You're crossing boundaries, Zara.
18:51And I need to stop this before it goes any further.
18:54I think I have feelings for you!
19:05I think you need to leave my room, Zara.
19:08Wait, what?
19:10I need you to leave now.
19:12Before I say something I'll regret.
19:17So?
19:19It doesn't matter what I feel?
19:22It does.
19:23Too much.
19:24That's the problem.
19:25But this...
19:26This isn't real, and I won't be part of it.
19:31Forget I said anything.
19:41Fuck.
19:42She saw my skin.
19:45Fuck.
19:46Fuck.
19:46Fuck.
19:47Fuck.
19:48Fuck.
19:52Now I have two concerns.
19:54Him rejecting me, and whatever is wrong with him.
19:59She's doing it on purpose, Leo.
20:02Don't let her get to you.
20:04Damn.
20:06She could kill with that outfit.
20:08Watch your mouth, Elijah.
20:11There it is.
20:13I know that look.
20:17Trust me, this is different.
20:22I'm your best friend.
20:23You know when I'm serious, and when I'm not.
20:25You're right.
20:26I know you.
20:26But when it comes to women, you're unpredictable.
20:31My manuscript pitch.
20:32You said a week.
20:33It's day six.
20:36You could have emailed it.
20:37I wanted to watch you read it.
20:43She's not chasing anymore, Leo.
20:45That's worse for you, isn't it?
20:46I have no right to this feeling.
20:49Why does it feel like something is being taken from me?
20:53Be honest.
20:54Are you drawn to the warmth of her body?
21:04Hello, I asked you a question.
21:08It's not her warmth I'm afraid of.
21:11It's that I can't stop wanting it.
21:15The intern's scent is all over your office, Leo.
21:18And yours?
21:20On her.
21:23She's on my skin.
21:25And we've got a problem there.
