00:00:01As a student of love philosophy, today is the first time I've been invited to a costume party, and I'm
00:00:09going to wow them all. Until...
00:00:13What is she wearing?
00:00:15Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.
00:00:19I didn't think you'd come.
00:00:22This outfit is a choice.
00:00:24Did I come to the wrong place?
00:00:27Everyone, our love expert, Mia. She's dressed a bit special today, so it's the perfect time for everyone to get
00:00:36to know her.
00:00:39Well, you think you write the psychology of love and you're some kind of love group?
00:00:44I thought this was Professor Brain's costume party.
00:00:48Oh, you received this invitation? Sorry.
00:00:53Yours is fake.
00:00:55We made it for you, Dr. Love.
00:00:58Let's post it and title it, The Bunny Girl Breakdown.
00:01:03The Love Psychologist Exposed.
00:01:20That's enough.
00:01:22What are you all doing here?
00:01:25Weren't you supposed to be welcoming the school's sponsor?
00:01:27Yes, we are welcoming the sponsor, but...
00:01:32I've seen how you're welcoming me.
00:01:35Are you okay? I was seriously over the line.
00:01:39Yeah, they used my research against me.
00:01:42Screw them! I mean, you're amazing. They're just jealous of how brilliant you are.
00:01:47Still pretending to be an academic?
00:01:51Maybe your next paper should be titled, How to Public Yourself Under Embarrassed.
00:01:58Alright, Amy. Let's make this interesting.
00:02:03Ten seconds. And I'll have Leo falling all over me.
00:02:07Are you dreaming? You're crazy.
00:02:11If you're wrong, then you have to apologize to me in front of everyone.
00:02:16And if I lose, then I will delete my thesis.
00:02:22And I will admit that I'm a fraud.
00:02:25Do.
00:02:34Leo, right?
00:02:39It was really cool what you did over there.
00:02:43Mia?
00:02:44And do you remember my name?
00:02:46It's hard to forget someone who comes to a reception dressed as a Vegas showgirl.
00:02:52I thought excellence came from boldness.
00:02:55Or is that just a theory?
00:03:08Wait.
00:03:12Her earring is caught on my couch.
00:03:31It's in your eyes.
00:03:35Oh, oh.
00:03:38Oh, oh.
00:03:41Oh, oh.
00:03:42Oh, oh, oh.
00:03:43Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:03:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:03:45There's nothing in your eyes.
00:03:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I can't take no more lies
00:03:56There's something in those eyes
00:04:02That's it.
00:04:03Find out everything you can about Mia.
00:04:07Oh, and call my wife.
00:04:10I want to meet her.
00:04:11You got it?
00:04:21You said ten seconds.
00:04:23I counted six.
00:04:24I mean, that was insane.
00:04:26You had the whole room holding their breath.
00:04:28Even Leo.
00:04:29Step one to Mia's love theory.
00:04:31Create controlled chaos.
00:04:33And what was the result?
00:04:35Chemistry 1A.
00:04:37Dopamine activation.
00:04:41Hello?
00:04:46So she crashed an exclusive dinner, forged an invitation, put on a performance, and calls
00:04:54it research?
00:04:55I think there might be some misunderstanding.
00:04:57I mean, she was at the top of her psychology department, perfect GPA, no disciplinary record.
00:05:05Place of birth to Oregon?
00:05:08It's just like her.
00:05:11How's it going with the meeting with my wife?
00:05:12Oh, all set.
00:05:14It's today.
00:05:19My husband wants to meet me today.
00:05:22Seriously?
00:05:23That prick didn't even go to the wedding.
00:05:24You're going to see him?
00:05:25Nope.
00:05:26Love is the last thing I need to be happy.
00:05:37Do you take this man to be your husband?
00:05:45I do.
00:05:51There, Mom.
00:05:52Now I am married to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away.
00:05:57I hope you're happy.
00:05:59My parents arranged the marriage before they died.
00:06:03I haven't even met the man.
00:06:05I need to get a divorce.
00:06:07ASAP.
00:06:12Lily!
00:06:13Oh, my gosh.
00:06:15Long time no see.
00:06:19What are our plans?
00:06:20I need you to pretend to be me and divorce my husband that I've never met.
00:06:25Hold on.
00:06:26Why me?
00:06:27Because you know me better than anyone.
00:06:31And you have a ton of experience handling jerks.
00:06:35Girl, you called me because of that.
00:06:36No, wait.
00:06:37Lily, Lily.
00:06:45Say no more.
00:06:46When are we going to do that?
00:06:49Well...
00:07:05Oh, my God.
00:07:07Mia's husband is just my type.
00:07:12Are you Leo Bryan?
00:07:15Yes, please.
00:07:16Sit.
00:07:24I'm sorry I've been MIA since we got married.
00:07:28I'll make it up to you.
00:07:30This marriage was our parents' idea, but I'll put you through college.
00:07:35You get a divorce after you graduate.
00:07:39Actually, I...
00:07:39I know you have a lot of student debt.
00:07:43You're welcome to move in with me.
00:07:54Let me think about it.
00:07:57Let me know when you thought it over.
00:08:04Oh, it's okay.
00:08:05I've got this.
00:08:10See you later.
00:08:12See you later.
00:08:29Oh, my God, girl!
00:08:30Lily!
00:08:31Oh, my gosh.
00:08:31Tell me everything that happened.
00:08:33Your husband is so ugly and dirt poor tooth.
00:08:36I mean, he even tried to fill me up.
00:08:39You dodged a bullet, though.
00:08:40Wait, Lily.
00:08:41I'm so sorry.
00:08:42Are you okay?
00:08:43Well, no problem, because I just kicked him right in the family's noodles.
00:08:49So just forget if he ever existed, okay?
00:08:52Okay.
00:08:53Well, let me at least make you dinner.
00:08:57Please.
00:08:57It's the least I can do.
00:09:02Rejected.
00:09:03The psychology of love paper is not based on any hard data.
00:09:09Then what do you want me to do?
00:09:11Find the perfect man.
00:09:12Bag the perfect man.
00:09:14And then get back to me.
00:09:15Good luck with that one.
00:09:26Who is the perfect guy?
00:09:30What are you going to do?
00:09:32Graduation's in three months.
00:09:34Yeah, and don't forget about your student loans, girl.
00:09:36I mean, you need a guinea pig and fast.
00:09:44Leo Bryan.
00:09:46He's a visiting professor here.
00:09:48Wow.
00:09:49Fate is working overtime with you two.
00:10:00Mr. Bryan, you're not supposed to fall for your students.
00:10:12Back to her with Mia.
00:10:13It'll be a piece of cake.
00:10:15I'll just implement step two of Mia's.
00:10:19Wrong.
00:10:19Men are visual creatures.
00:10:21You need to catch his eye first.
00:10:27Bryan Technologies is investing in a new research project on companionship AI.
00:10:34This is mortifying.
00:10:36I thought he was the only one here.
00:10:38And I'm looking for an assistant.
00:10:55We are the obvious choice.
00:10:58Amy and I are the perfect choice for this project.
00:11:01As you may know, Amy's dad is the CEO.
00:11:04Stop.
00:11:05Connections won't get you anywhere with me.
00:11:07Go.
00:11:08I'm not repeating myself.
00:11:13He really is the perfect guy.
00:11:16You.
00:11:18Go.
00:11:20Me?
00:11:21Why?
00:11:22I don't want anybody working for me who's more concerned about clothes than research.
00:11:33Who wrote this?
00:11:35Who wrote this?
00:11:36Psychology of Love.
00:11:37You're right.
00:11:43That's one of the best reports I've ever read.
00:11:48Your full name is Mia Rose.
00:11:50The one and only.
00:11:52It says here you were born in Oregon.
00:11:54Sister city.
00:11:55To be exact.
00:11:56Do you have a boyfriend?
00:11:59Absolutely.
00:12:01Positively.
00:12:02A hundred percent no.
00:12:04Holy shit.
00:12:06He's interrogating me about my love life in front of everyone.
00:12:10Oh, he is so in love with me.
00:12:15Her name is identical to my wife's, and she's from the same city.
00:12:24You got the job.
00:12:26Everyone else can go.
00:12:28Sorry.
00:12:29Thank you, Professor Brian.
00:12:33Just keep things professional.
00:12:35Or you're done.
00:12:38Just do your job.
00:12:42Step number three, and Mia's guide to romance.
00:12:46Spice things up with a little physical contact.
00:12:54Just making sure my boss looks good.
00:12:58I want to hold you under the red moon.
00:13:06Me?
00:13:07I'd be more worried about yourself.
00:13:10My grandma wouldn't wear that dress.
00:13:12Well, your grandma should wash your mouth out with soap for talking to me that way.
00:13:16Anson.
00:13:19Familiarize her with the projects over the next few days.
00:13:22Understood.
00:13:27Listen up, Lily.
00:13:29Rent's on me this month.
00:13:31What?
00:13:32You became a Miss Moneybags all of a sudden?
00:13:35This is Leo Brian.
00:13:38And I'm going to be his research assistant.
00:13:41Um, Leo Brian?
00:13:44Do you know he's your husband?
00:13:45Danny Pink?
00:13:45Yeah.
00:13:46I have to make him fall in love with me if I'm going to pass this semester.
00:13:51Girl, listen to me.
00:13:53I've heard he's a total fuckboy, and he hooks up with girls all night.
00:13:58Please, stay away from him.
00:14:20Baby, I have nowhere to go.
00:14:22You said you would take care of me.
00:14:29Because we're married, right?
00:14:36Because we're married, right?
00:14:40So, where are we sleeping tonight?
00:14:46Just stay in your own lane.
00:14:48You can have the upstairs.
00:14:58This is all going to be mine one day.
00:15:01Leo, you're going to fall for me whether you like it or not.
00:15:08Professor Brian still hasn't asked you out.
00:15:11No?
00:15:12You know, I'm starting to think that maybe my method doesn't actually work.
00:15:17You should ask your roommate, Lily.
00:15:19Guy's over.
00:15:20Not my roommate anymore.
00:15:22She just moved in with her new boyfriend.
00:15:25They're so jealous that you're like this.
00:15:28The professor Brian.
00:15:30Listen, I hate to be a bummer, but everyone's saying this dude's way out of your league.
00:15:36Bullshit!
00:15:36I am nice, I am hardworking, and I have my master's.
00:15:41What, I'm out of that moody weirdo's league?
00:15:45I know, I am Professor Jackoff, and I'm a total asshole.
00:15:50You're right.
00:15:51I never shut up, and I love to hear the sound of my own voice.
00:15:55He aggravates me more than anyone I have ever met.
00:16:11Well, what a coincidence.
00:16:14It isn't my favorite professor.
00:16:17I didn't realize you were so two-faced.
00:16:21I came here to invite you to the club tomorrow, but...
00:16:33A fancy date?
00:16:35It's happening.
00:16:36I mean, I can't believe it.
00:16:37Leo really asked you out.
00:16:39Finally.
00:16:40It's my turn.
00:16:46Mia, I've heard you're going to the country club with Mr. Leo Brian tomorrow.
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:54You don't have to worry about me.
00:16:56You're such a good friend.
00:16:59But now, I need to go pick out my outfit for tomorrow.
00:17:03Go, girl.
00:17:10Oh, I'm sorry, Mia.
00:17:12Leo is mine.
00:17:16Step four in Mia's Guide to Romance, A, B, X.
00:17:21Always be smiling.
00:17:34Hi.
00:17:36This is a very important meeting.
00:17:38I'll do about the samples I mentioned in my notes.
00:17:41Later.
00:17:42Leo!
00:17:45What the fuck?
00:17:51Come on, hurry up.
00:17:53His notes must have been in the invite, but where did it go?
00:17:56Mia, come on.
00:17:58Get your head in the gate.
00:18:10Hey, I'm Brian.
00:18:11Good to see you.
00:18:12Long time no see.
00:18:13How have you been?
00:18:14Good.
00:18:15Should we have a toast?
00:18:16We could.
00:18:18Oh, I brought the samples that you asked for.
00:18:20Yeah.
00:18:20Mia, you want to show them?
00:18:23Mia, samples.
00:18:33Sample?
00:18:35You must be starving.
00:18:42Honey, I'm not feeling well.
00:18:44You shouldn't have drunk on an empty stomach.
00:18:49You should have drunk on an empty stomach.
00:18:49Research shows that skipping breakfast is a big no-no, so why don't you eat first and
00:18:55we'll talk later.
00:18:57Mr. Brian, your girlfriend is such a sweetheart.
00:18:59Everyone needs a lot about business.
00:19:02It's just a nice change of pace.
00:19:04Huh.
00:19:04Yeah, she's a great girl.
00:19:07One second.
00:19:08Okay, we should eat.
00:19:10Let's talk over there, shall we?
00:19:15Are you trying to embarrass me?
00:19:17I thought this was a date.
00:19:20A date?
00:19:22Really?
00:19:22You're into your professor?
00:19:25Uh-huh.
00:19:27I...
00:19:31I...
00:19:32Don't misunderstand this.
00:19:34You're only here because Anson's busy.
00:19:37Of course.
00:19:40It's professional.
00:19:44Jetty's ready!
00:19:45Let's continue the conversation on our island, Mr. Brian.
00:19:48Great.
00:19:50Lead the way.
00:19:55I just can't get to break, can I?
00:20:00Hey, how are things going with Professor Hottie?
00:20:02Not good.
00:20:03I'm an idiot.
00:20:04I thought it was a date, and it's not, and I'm out on my ass.
00:20:07Fuck this!
00:20:11Ah!
00:20:13Ah!
00:20:15This day just keeps getting worse and worse.
00:20:23I'm thinking how loud I'm thinking, I don't even want to play this game.
00:20:31Will I make it up?
00:20:34Will I make it up?
00:20:38Leo?
00:20:40You came?
00:20:44Run and don't make a sound.
00:20:47I don't want to be found.
00:20:48Sweet man, don't hold me down.
00:20:50Will I make it up?
00:20:52I'm through.
00:20:57I couldn't leave you here alone.
00:20:59You are my assistant, after all.
00:21:02That is very nice of you.
00:21:05I'm sorry about it earlier.
00:21:06I didn't explain myself quite clearly, but you did well.
00:21:12You shouldn't push yourself.
00:21:14Here, take this.
00:21:15I'm sorry about it.
00:21:22I'm going to get you all wet.
00:21:32Don't worry about me.
00:21:34I got this.
00:21:42I need to trip you forever
00:21:46Tonight's the night we make an air
00:21:52It's okay, I can do it myself
00:21:56You want something to drink?
00:21:57I'm good
00:22:00What's wrong?
00:22:02I got it
00:22:03Just an example
00:22:07That's how I let go
00:22:10Damn it
00:22:16Do you always have random hookups?
00:22:21There's a lesson from your professor
00:22:23Every conclusion needs evidence to back it up
00:22:36Would you like to find out?
00:22:47He is so sexy
00:22:53I almost forgot what his lips taste like
00:23:00How many girls have just melted looking in those eyes?
00:23:06But I'm your professor
00:23:09I won't take it that trivial
00:23:12Seems like a gentleman to me
00:23:15I've heard he's a total fuckboy
00:23:17And he hooks up with girls all night
00:23:19So why did Lily say that?
00:23:27Miss Rose
00:23:28I've drafted your divorce papers
00:23:33Thank you, Harvey
00:23:35Mia is married?
00:23:41Thank you, Harvey
00:23:48Was that your parents?
00:23:50No, actually my parents are dead
00:23:55I'm sorry
00:23:58I'll take you home
00:24:00You really don't have to do that
00:24:08Thanks for the ride
00:24:09Where were you?
00:24:11We were waiting for you
00:24:12It's kind of a thing
00:24:13Sorry
00:24:15It's okay
00:24:16We were just
00:24:16I'm scared shitless
00:24:19I'm glad you're alright
00:24:23Hey
00:24:24Miss Rose
00:24:25Got home safe
00:24:26So
00:24:27I'm off to the bar
00:24:29Oh, there was some guy there
00:24:31Though he was like
00:24:32Pushing her around
00:24:32What?
00:24:33Who?
00:24:36I couldn't get a good look at him
00:24:37But
00:24:38They went inside
00:24:39Together
00:24:40Now
00:24:41She is obviously after you
00:24:44So
00:24:44Why don't you just fire her?
00:24:46We need her expertise
00:24:48And
00:24:48As a professor
00:24:50I should keep an eye on her
00:24:52Yeah, good excuse
00:24:54Look into her supposed husband
00:25:13We haven't spent any time together
00:25:16Could you please
00:25:17Sleep with me tonight
00:25:21We're getting a divorce
00:25:22After you graduate
00:25:24So don't get any ideas
00:25:28I'll come back
00:25:29After you're dressed
00:25:36I want to let
00:25:37Real Niam
00:25:38Take you away from me
00:25:49Wait, so he carried you home
00:25:51He's totally in love with you
00:25:53Advance congratulations
00:25:54On graduating early
00:26:02Stay the fuck away from me
00:26:06We are never going to happen
00:26:10He's playing me like a damn puppet
00:26:13You know how men are
00:26:15They treat women like
00:26:16Easy come, easy go
00:26:17It's textbook Matthew effect
00:26:21I showed my hand too soon
00:26:22Don't give up that easy
00:26:24We still have plan B
00:26:26The cold shoulder
00:26:29Maybe he's just stubborn
00:26:34Take this
00:26:36It was developed by my department
00:26:37It can monitor the wearer's
00:26:39Heartbeat
00:26:40And brain waves
00:26:41Emma
00:26:43You are a genius
00:26:45Leo Bryan
00:26:47You ain't seen nothing yet
00:27:03Go
00:27:12Eating alone, Professor Bryan
00:27:14I usually lunch on my own
00:27:16But you're welcome to join me
00:27:18Sorry for the misunderstanding
00:27:20I just wanted to borrow this
00:27:23You're not really my type
00:27:40Oh yeah, nice work
00:27:42He's definitely jealous
00:27:59How can feelings just disappear like that?
00:28:03When love
00:28:07How can Mia say I'm not her type?
00:28:10It seems like you care about her more than you should, Professor
00:28:14I found something
00:28:15On her husband
00:28:22Seems like she's secretly married
00:28:24None of her classmates know
00:28:27We need a PI
00:28:32She's too innocent
00:28:33I'm afraid that someone's gonna take advantage of her
00:28:35I've heard a lot of guys on campus are after her
00:28:40She lives in a shady part of town
00:28:42Girls in bars get harassed there all the time
00:28:51Professor Bryan, I need the afternoon off
00:28:54Why?
00:28:56Well, if you must know, I have a date
00:29:00With who?
00:29:01Now that is really none of your business
00:29:04You can't
00:29:06I need you this afternoon
00:29:08Miss Assistant
00:29:18And it's totally working
00:29:19Please take in your shopping
00:29:23Careful
00:29:25What are you talking to?
00:29:26It's private
00:29:28And what, are you trying to spy on your assistant?
00:29:31Why don't you help me pick something out?
00:29:35Which one do you like?
00:29:43Try it on
00:29:45It's for a birthday present
00:29:46How did you know that tomorrow's my birthday?
00:29:51Tomorrow's your birthday?
00:29:52June
00:29:53Under the red moon
00:29:58Only a blanket of stars
00:30:01To keep us warm
00:30:04Same name, hometown, and birthday
00:30:08Way too many coincidences
00:30:10And I'm stuck
00:30:12We don't think that we have never
00:30:16These are gorgeous
00:30:21Are they really for me?
00:30:23I
00:30:24Actually, they're
00:30:26A gift for someone else
00:30:30If I didn't know better
00:30:31I think this Mia was my wife
00:30:34Sorry
00:30:37My mistake
00:30:39Shit, is he interested in someone else?
00:30:42Pick up the pace
00:30:44Mia
00:30:58Mia
00:30:59Hold on
00:31:06You looked beautiful on them
00:31:07Now why would you give me something so nice?

00:31:27Hey, what's up?

00:32:45It makes this oxidization with the iron
00:32:49Which
00:32:51Explain it like I'm five
00:32:53Take us, for example
00:32:56We reacted before we even knew it

00:55:01Leo?
00:55:03don't you think that's dangerous?
00:55:06I think
00:55:06you crossed that line a long time ago
00:55:10What do you mean by that?
00:55:12I can't take my eyes off you.
00:55:14I'm always worried about you.
00:55:17Why?
00:55:19I don't need your sympathy.
00:55:27Leo.
00:55:40What more do you want from me?
00:55:42How about a video of him saying that he loves you?
00:55:45Do you love me?
00:55:53I need some time.
00:55:56Okay, how's 24 days?
00:56:00That's oddly specific.
00:56:02I just can't wait.
00:56:05I need to take care of something first.
00:56:08What is it?
00:56:12Actually, I'm married.
00:56:20Actually, I'm married.
00:56:23It's something my parents arranged.
00:56:25I swear, I haven't touched her.
00:56:29I'm going to handle it as soon as possible.
00:56:32It's too late for that.
00:56:34Get out.
00:56:45If I had known he was married, I never would have gone after him.
00:56:52Sorry, I sent the wrong picture.
00:56:54This is my son.
00:56:56Let's go diving sometime.
00:56:58He looks familiar.
00:57:04I am on the wilderness safari.
00:57:06Leave a message if you need any.
00:57:17Do you want a divorce?
00:57:20I shouldn't have had you move in.
00:57:23Take this as an apology.
00:57:25Let's talk about this later.
00:57:27I don't feel very good.
00:57:29Can we stay like this?
00:57:37It's my parents' death anniversary very soon.
00:57:47I've already made up my mind.
00:57:50I'm not moving out.
00:57:52Then I'm leaving.
00:58:01Mia.
00:58:03What's wrong?
00:58:05It's her.
00:58:07Again.
00:58:12What do you want from me?
00:58:14Well, we both hate Mia, right?
00:58:17Such a bitch took my spot on Professor Brian's project team.
00:58:22Not to mention, she's a home record.
00:58:25Such a bitch.
00:58:27What do you think about revenge?
00:58:29Let's take her down.
00:58:31What's the plan?
00:58:32What's the plan?
00:58:48Here are the plans for the press conference.
00:58:58Professor, what's your wife like?
00:59:02She means nothing to me.
00:59:04Then why did you marry her?
00:59:07Mia.
00:59:09Sorry, I...
00:59:10If I crush this press conference,
00:59:12then can you promise me something?
00:59:16What?
00:59:17Promise me you'll introduce me to your wife.
00:59:26You really want to meet her?
00:59:29This is going to be the best press conference anyone has ever seen.
00:59:39All right.
00:59:40Promise.
00:59:44Whoa, he really does look like Liam.
00:59:46What, are they twins or something?
00:59:48Did Lily give your husband a divorce papers?
00:59:52No.
00:59:54She's been avoiding me for some reason.
00:59:57Do you think Lily's new boy toy is your husband?
01:00:02I want to put it past him.
01:00:03There's no way.
01:00:04We've been best friends for forever.
01:00:08Anyway, can someone help me with the conference?
01:00:11I need to figure out how to get more engagement.
01:00:15Oh, my God.
01:00:17What's wrong?
01:00:20Someone's calling Mia a home wrecker on the campus forums.
01:00:23Shit.
01:00:24No one's going to believe her.
01:00:25What are we going to do?
01:00:32Those people are so crazy.
01:00:35Talking about you are disgusting.
01:00:38You shouldn't have to go through this.
01:00:41Thanks.
01:00:42It's like every time I open my phone, you're just...
01:00:44Oh, wait.
01:00:47Take this.
01:00:50This guy helps me a lot.
01:00:52He helped me to delay the application once.
01:00:55He's a kind of weird person, but he's also reliable.
01:01:01Are you sure?
01:01:02Absolutely.
01:01:03Just tell him we'll send to you.
01:01:05And then he might be giving you a discount.
01:01:10Okay.
01:01:13Remember to say a good word for me to Professor Bryant.
01:01:18Bill.
01:01:34Victor?
01:01:36Babe.
01:01:37Babe.
01:01:41I've already wiped 90% of the search results.
01:01:44Want me to take care of the Twitter mirrors, too?
01:01:46Um, yeah, for sure.
01:01:51It's amazing.
01:01:53You're amazing.
01:01:54People have no idea what real digital control means.
01:01:57You know?
01:01:59I can even make every man forget you ever existed.
01:02:12Wait.
01:02:14Victor Monroe.
01:02:16Victor Monroe.
01:02:24Hanson, come with me now.
01:02:52I'll take care of you, all right?
01:02:54Hey, police are all the way.
01:02:58Come on.
01:02:58Get the hell out of here.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:01It's okay.
01:03:02You're safe now.
01:03:06You're safe now.
01:03:09I'm so glad you're okay.
01:03:13Thank you for saving me.
01:03:15I'm still so scared even now.
01:03:18I was afraid I might lose you.
01:03:23You should get some rest.
01:03:53No kissing. Not yet.
01:03:57Why?
01:03:59You have a wife. Hello.
01:04:15See you at the conference tomorrow.
01:04:18Professor Bryant.
01:04:28Humans crave intimacy.
01:04:31Unfortunately, we find it hard to express ourselves.
01:04:35The Bryant Group's AI uses emotional computing
01:04:38to expand the limits of virtual communication.
01:04:47I can't believe I did it.
01:04:49You did a great job.
01:04:51I'll keep my promise.
01:04:53Please welcome Mr. Leo Bryant, CEO of Bryant Group.
01:05:02And thank you to Mia Rose for a wonderful speech.
01:05:05I couldn't have said it better myself.
01:05:09The Bryant Group is at the forefront of AI companionship technology.
01:05:13And with your help, we plan to continue that for many years to come.
01:05:19Leo, Bryant, and Mia Rose.
01:05:24He's my...
01:05:28He's my husband.
01:05:37Hello, everyone.
01:05:43Let me introduce myself as Leo's wife.
01:05:48What are you doing?
01:05:50I'm sorry.
01:05:50How long are you going to hide me, baby?
01:05:53Let me go.
01:05:54Hey, let's go this way.
01:05:55Come on.
01:05:55Let me go.
01:05:57Leo, I love you.
01:06:00I'm sorry.
01:06:01Leo, baby, I love you.
01:06:03Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:16I mean, what happened?
01:06:18We just saw Mia running out.
01:06:20Where'd she go?
01:06:35You're useless as ever.
01:06:39Once a crybaby, always a crybaby.
01:06:42Really?
01:06:44Actually, I should thank you.
01:06:48Because me and Leo hit it off and I moved in with him.
01:06:54What?
01:06:55Well, you know him.
01:06:58He's icy.
01:07:00But not with me, of course.
01:07:04You are ruining everything.
01:07:08Why wouldn't you tell me sooner?
01:07:10He didn't want to hurt your feelings.
01:07:13But he said he would get rid of you.
01:07:16I know, Leo, and he would never do that to me.
01:07:20Oh, yeah?
01:07:23Well, let's wait and see who he'll choose.
01:07:33Mia!
01:07:39Mia!
01:07:44Where the hell is Mia?
01:07:47I know where she is.
01:07:52Where?
01:07:53Why did you crash the press conference?
01:08:04She's there.
01:08:12You did that on purpose.
01:08:14Yes, and if I can have you, no one can.
01:08:20Mia!
01:08:28The final step in Mia's guide to romance.
01:08:31An avoidant attachment style can protect you from getting hurt.
01:08:38Mia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you wrapped up in all of this.
01:08:44Nothing happened.
01:08:45Please, believe me.
01:08:47Leo, it's all my fault.
01:08:50I'm not good at expressing myself.
01:08:54I kept ignoring my feelings for you.
01:08:57I'm sorry. I started all of this.
01:09:00You don't have to forgive me.
01:09:02Just, please, let me come in and make sure you're okay.
01:09:07Mia?
01:09:14Guess what? I have the bun in the oven.
01:09:27What?
01:09:30Mia, I...
01:09:31Professor Bryan?
01:09:33I need to come clean.
01:09:36This has been an experiment all along.
01:09:38An experiment?
01:09:40I've been using you as a guinea pig to prove my research.
01:09:44Mia, what are you talking about?
01:09:47I've been planning this from the beginning.
01:09:49This fitness tracker?
01:09:51I've been using it to collect data.
01:09:54Yeah.
01:09:55I never really loved you.
01:09:57So now we're Ethan.
01:09:59I don't believe you.
01:10:03Experiment is over.
01:10:05We're over.
01:10:11You're quitting your experiment?
01:10:13Why?
01:10:14I just can't do it.
01:10:17Worst case scenario, just graduate late, okay?
01:10:20Graduate late?
01:10:21That's not like you.
01:10:24Sorry to disappoint you, Professor.
01:10:39Wait.
01:10:41Are you crying?
01:10:43What's wrong?
01:10:47Mia, I don't have much time. I'm going away on a business trip.
01:10:50Safe travels.
01:10:51Please.
01:10:52I want to tell you something. Just listen to me.
01:10:57I...
01:10:59What's that?
01:11:00I know you have a wife.
01:11:02And I know she's pregnant.
01:11:04Take care.
01:11:04I got a dark side.
01:11:07They try to tell me I should hide my scary dark side.
01:11:14I try to act like I got it all under control, but it's a lie.
01:11:19You look like a mess, man.
01:11:22Thanks.
01:11:23Why don't you expose Lily for the bitch that she is?
01:11:27Because she used to be my friend.
01:11:31And besides, she's pregnant now.
01:11:35How do you know it's Leo's?
01:11:38It doesn't matter, okay?
01:11:40Leo left.
01:11:41And he's already dead to me.
01:11:45Stop moping around.
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:48You know what? Get your ass up.
01:11:50We're going to the graduation party tonight.
01:11:52Oh!
01:11:54All I remember is we stayed up way past three.
01:11:59Think we're falling hard and I blame gravity.
01:12:03Now it's more...
01:12:04Can't catch your breath.
01:12:06Hold your breath.
01:12:22Not the halo effect again?
01:12:27Split the wishbone to the straws
01:12:32I had no idea Professor Brian was going to be here tonight.
01:12:35I heard he's a starry knight.
01:12:38That's a stupid name.
01:12:40Come on! The starry knight ball is a school tradition.
01:12:44Every year the student council picks three knights,
01:12:47and at the end of the ball we get to bid for it to see who gets the chance to
01:12:50dance.
01:12:51It's fun, isn't it?
01:12:53It's today. You should place a bid.
01:12:55Or are you going to watch him dance with somebody else?
01:12:57Emma, cut it out, okay? I didn't come here to dance with Leo.
01:13:01I came here for the student lineup photos so he can dance with whoever he wants to.
01:13:07Come on, Mia! It's been a whole week!
01:13:09Are you really going to wear this gorgeous dress just to hide in the corner like some paint on the
01:13:13wall?
01:13:14Are you really okay with this?
01:13:17Look at him standing there like nothing ever happens.
01:13:21I'm picking up all that attention from those love star girls.
01:13:25Even if you are moving on, you should at least tell him to his face.
01:13:29Where's the fearless mirror from before?
01:13:31Don't you want to know what he's thinking?
01:13:32Don't you have the guts to place a bid?
01:13:39Hey everybody! Welcome to the Starry Night party!
01:13:43First up, please welcome our knights of the Starry Night.
01:13:48First up, we'll auction off Sir Leo Bryan!
01:13:58500!
01:14:00600!
01:14:05800!
01:14:081,000!
01:14:101,500!
01:14:121,500!
01:14:14Look, they're about to get what they want.
01:14:16Maybe he's waiting for you.
01:14:17But you want to know what he has to say?
01:14:202,000!
01:14:212,000 here!
01:14:23Or maybe he'll tell Amy that Mia is such a fool.
01:14:353,000 dollars!
01:14:393,000 coin once.
01:14:423,000 coin twice.
01:14:443,000…
01:14:465,000!
01:14:544,000…
01:14:576,000!
01:15:03How do you feel?
01:15:13That's right, you can hurt me as much as you like.
01:15:17You paid for me.
01:15:20Shouldn't we end this now?
01:15:23Don't be so hasty, Doctor.
01:15:26What's that supposed to happen?
01:15:32You're the real Mia.
01:15:35My Mia.
01:15:38Although I have to admit, getting someone to pretend to be you is creative.
01:15:46Lily isn't pregnant.
01:15:48Anson checked.
01:15:50The tests were fake.
01:15:57Shall we get out of here?
01:15:59Mrs. Bryan.
01:16:09Are you in a rush or something?
01:16:12I'm just trying to make up for lost time.
01:16:14Well, we can't turn back the clock.
01:16:17So let's make the most of every moment now.
01:16:26So, what's your theory behind our love?
01:16:32Let me run some calculations.
01:16:41You have to say the magic words.
01:16:45I.
01:16:46Love.
01:16:48You.
01:16:49You.
01:16:50Nothing can stop you.
01:16:52No, nothing can stop you.
01:16:56Follow your heart.
01:16:57I won't stay wrong.
01:17:05Go!
01:17:07Get out!
01:17:07You can't do this to me.
01:17:09You're just a maid.
01:17:11I'm gonna say this to Leo.
01:17:14I'm not a maid.
01:17:15I am his mother.
01:17:17There he is.
01:17:19Go ahead.
01:17:19Tell him.
01:17:21Leo!
01:17:24Mia, you tricked me too!
01:17:30Mia, you tricked me too!
01:17:32Then why did you steal her ring?
01:17:36Mia?
01:17:36I'm so sorry.
01:17:38I missed you.
01:17:38Don't ever speak to me again.
01:17:41Don't touch me.
01:17:44Mia!
01:17:44Ah!
01:17:49If you change your mind, you have three more days to submit your paper.
01:17:54Thank you so much, Professor.
01:17:57What was that?
01:18:02So, congratulations, Dr. Rose.
01:18:05Thank you, Professor Hugo.
01:18:11Congratulations, baby.
01:18:13Looks like my experiment is over.
01:18:16I am not done researching.
01:18:19How much I love you.
01:18:25Hey!
01:18:27You stole something.
01:18:28What?
01:18:29Come closer.
01:18:30Closer.
01:18:36There.
01:18:37Now we're even.
01:18:39Emma!
01:18:41Wait!
01:18:50Leo?
01:18:52Are you here?
01:19:13You're just in time.
01:19:15Leo, you did all of this for me?
01:19:18I'll never be alone again.
01:19:29I'll never be alone again.
01:19:30Miros.
01:19:31Will he be my wife?
01:19:44Again.
01:19:46Miros.
01:20:03What?
01:20:11I'm just glad I was your guinea pig.
01:20:13Looks like you've been standing up on me as guide to romance.
01:20:17I've done some research of my own.
01:20:21Can we talk about anything else?
01:20:25No.
01:20:26Your professor has some academic theories he'd like to discuss with you.
01:20:32For example, where he should begin kissing you.
01:20:37Here.
01:20:43Here.
01:20:48Here.
01:20:53Here.
01:20:54It's all that I want.
01:20:55All that I'm asking.
01:20:57Here.
01:21:02Love.
01:21:03Love.
01:21:04Love.
01:21:04Love.
01:21:05Love me.
01:21:05Right, Professor Bryant.
01:21:06As I am.
01:21:07I think we should continue this conversation elsewhere.
01:21:10Love.
01:21:11Love.
01:21:12Love.
01:21:13Love me.
01:21:14As I am.
01:21:15Love.
01:21:16Love.
01:21:17Love.
01:21:19Love.
01:21:21Love.
01:21:22Love me.
01:21:24Love.
