06:01thank you thank you so much
06:08Dr. Lane I'm Lucas Reed got a minute he stayed from this morning all the way to now you know
06:14who I am
06:14yes I've been looking for you for three years or Alice the one and only successor to the world's best
06:20neurosurgeon
06:20so that's what he means three years married and he doesn't even know my face of course not
06:26so the guarantee stepping in front of that bottle all of that was because I'm Alice
06:32yes your hands couldn't be risen
06:34even 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 no one will take the case
06:43he helped me today we're even one surgery then we're done for good
06:47I once heard the housekeeper mention that there's someone Lucas never got over
06:51is this her?
06:53three months at most
06:55the fragment is pressing on her optic nerve she's already blind her hearing is probably going too
06:59that's right
07:01the window was a year ago why wasn't she operated on?
07:05best odds anyone could give me were 50-50 I couldn't accept that
07:09that's how much he loves her
07:11but then again why did he agree to marry me three years ago?
07:14a backup plan just in case she didn't make it bottom line he's trash total 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 what if she doesn't make it off the table?
07:26as long as you're alive I'll find you
07:30unbelievable
07:30you've been gambling with someone else's life this whole time and you think that makes you devoted?
07:34fine I've looked it over but I need to see the patient myself before I decide anything
07:38I know her condition inside and out I 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 not you
07:45if that's how you want to do this then I'm sorry
07:49I can't take the case
07:51why is she so hostile to me?
07:59ellie! to celebrate your freedom and your grand return to medicine I got us a booth
08:04we are going out tonight
08:10wait that jerk actually cheated you're sure?
08:13you're all over the internet Coco is it really okay to be out like this?

08:57come sit with us
08:58don't bother looking security's been taken care of
09:00nobody's coming
09:01they plan this
09:02I've barely been out in three years to 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
09:27who the hell are you?
09:38three years no contact before the divorce
09:40now he's everywhere
09:42either he's following me
09:43or I've got the worst luck
09:46Mr. Reid, 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 be here
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 to operate on his precious girl
10:06what I do and whether I can hold a scalpel is none of your concern
10:09if you doubt me find 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 using her name
10:37I need to know who she is
10:38on it, I'll let you know the second I find anything
10:41but don't you think it's a little funny?
10:44what do you mean?
10:45Lucas Reid
10:45three years you never even saw him
10:47and the day you divorce you 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, he's in the past
11:02Dr. Lane, um, are you seeing anyone?
11:07no
11:09really? really awesome! Dr. Lane, I really like-
11:12I'm single, I'm also a wid- um, I mean, I'm divorced
11:19that's an interesting way to turn someone down
11:22yep, believe it or not I actually wouldn't have minded just staying widowed
11:26her background's clean and marriage status is blank
11:29is she telling the truth or playing games?
11:34your personal life isn't my concern, Dr. Lane
11:37the car's ready, let's go
11:39why ask so much if you don't care, weirdo?
11:51Mr. Reid, little miss knew you were coming today so she insisted on coming out to meet you
12:02Lucas, brother?
12:04brother? are they actually siblings or is it something else?
12:08hey Lucas
12:08Lucas?
12:10Ellie, I've told you, be good
12:12Lucas likes well-behaved girls
12:17Ellie? same as my nook name
12:19so when Lucas agreed to marry me three years ago, was it because of my name?
12:22that's disgusting
12:24Nancy, take her back inside
12:29you must be Dr. Lane
12:30I'm Sherry who's been looking after Ellie
12:32Lucas and I are old friends
12:33hi, Sherry? why does that name sound familiar?
12:41the way she's looking at me, like she knows me, we only just met
12:47well, well, bitch, I underestimated you
12:51Dr. Lane, are you alright?
12:55Dr. Lane, shall we head in? I can show you to the room
12:59no need, I already got a look just now
13:02she's doing a little better than I expected
13:03I'll go back and put together a full surgical plan
13:05we can talk once it's ready
13:07one look was enough, I've got the right person
13:09Mr. Reid?
13:11of course, thank you Dr. Lane
13:17Dr. Lane, are you going to take the case?
13:21you really don't want me to do it?
13:22no, I don't, I mean, yes, yes, I definitely want you to do it
13:26Dr. Lane, that's not why I came out
13:27I just wanted to ask, do you have a boyfriend?
13:29a co-option, but not smart enough
13:32do you go for someone like Lucas?
13:34he's so accomplished, so successful
13:35pretty sure every woman would be into him, right?
13:38huh, she wants to know if I'm competition
13:39you said it yourself, he's accomplished, he's successful
13:42I'm a woman, of course I'd be into him
13:43accomplished? successful?
13:51why were you standing so close?
13:53you're the one who spun around
13:55anyway, did you mean that?
13:57obviously not
14:00no? then explain it to me, Dr. Lane
14:03were you testing me?
14:04Dr. Lane, you don't mind that Lucas was married before, right?
14:08his ex-wife wasn't good enough for him
14:10divorce was a good thing, so please don't hold it that against him
14:13you hid your marriage so well, but the divorce?
14:16you 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 for both of us
14:26you never respected me or got to know me in the past three years
14:29best for us? that's rich coming from you
14:32good for you then
14:33I just hope you don't end up regretting it someday
14:36let go of me
14:37you're angry
14:39is it because I've been married?
14:41you're reading into it, Mr. Reed
14:42your marriage isn't my problem
14:44I just feel for your ex-wife
14:45those women won't stop running their mouths about her even now
14:48you've got the wrong idea, she and I weren't like that, she was just-
14:51sorry, I'm not interested
14:52and I'm not the one you owe an explanation to
14:55she is
14:57neither of us wanted that marriage
14:59I settled with her at the end, we're even
15:01I never liked her, I owe her nothing
15:03even, you can explain yourself to a doctor you just met
15:06but your wife of three years didn't deserve so much as a word
15:09incredible
15:10you don't owe me an explanation either
15:11I'm not interested
15:16Lucas, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up
15:18you did that on purpose, don't play dumb, I don't want it happening again
15:22Lucas, don't you think you're paying an awful lot of attention to Dr. Dr. Lane?
15:28that's only because she's the surgeon
15:30yeah, that's all
15:34until that surgery is done, you stay away from her
15:41just you wait, Elena Lane
15:44Ellie, I've got something
15:48Shay is Sherry, she paid those two punnings to go after Coco
15:51there was a third guy there filming, they wanted leverage on her
15:55Sherry?
15:57so 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 must have knocked the edge off you
16:06no, you've got it wrong
16:08harassment that didn't land?
16:09attempted harassment?
16:11that's months, max
16:12I want something that actually hurts
16:15good, I know what to do
16:19thanks Sophie
16:26Dr. Lane, it's Sherry
16:28well, well, speak of the devil
16:31what is it?
16:32since you've agreed to do Ellie's surgery
16:33I'd love to take you to dinner as a thank you
16:35I've already sent a car to the hospital
16:37I hope you'll come
16:40sure, I'll be there
16:42let's see how long you last when you're out of your depth
16:45since I'm going to make them pay anyway
16:47might as well be tonight
17:00who is this?
17:01does she not know this is a private event?
17:03who let her in?
17:04this is one of Lucas's venues
17:05did he set this whole thing up?
17:10everyone, this is Dr. Elena Lane from Hargrage, my guest tonight
17:14Mr. Don speaks before he thinks
17:16don't take it personally
17:17told me she wasn't interested
17:19and here she is
17:20women
17:20I should have mentioned tonight is a business dinner for Vertex Media
17:23I borrowed Lucas's face
17:25sorry for not being clearer
17:28business talk
17:29probably not your world, right?
17:31you might find it a bit hard to follow, Dr. Lane
17:34Miss Sherry, I didn't come looking for trouble
17:37but if you're gonna keep trying 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 to invite you
17:46and look what you did
17:46don't blame Dr. Lane, it 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, with Mr. Reed here
17:55she can't do a thing to you
17:56you really have no idea who you're dealing with
18:11Ms. Sherry
18:12you tried to humiliate me and frame me
18:15did you really think I'd just let that go?
18:17you're insane
18:19I didn't do anything
18:20I just... I slipped
18:22really?
18:28Lucas, help me!
18:30you lunatic!
18:31you actually cut her!
18:36Dr. Lane, you're embarrassing Lucas!
18:39he won't care what happens to me
18:41but his image?
18:42Elena, good luck
18:44are you done?
18:45someone take her out and have that looked at
18:47nobody 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, Ms. Sherry hired punks
19:02to go after my friend and have the whole thing filmed
19:03the whole three of them have 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, you can't wrong me like this
19:13I never said anything about a bar
19:18come after me
19:19come after me
19:19or come after anyone I care about
19:20you'll end up just like those three guys
19:23you hear me?
19:26no, you bitch! 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
19:35they 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
20:06which is exactly why you should keep your distance
20:08once your imagery is done
20:09I 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
20:23she's in the clear
20:25thank you, Dr. Lane
20:26just doing my job
20:27once she's recovered
20:28we 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
20:44your 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
20:55but it's hired top doctors worldwide
20:57you really will do anything for the woman you love, won't you?
21:00does that mean yes?
21:01no, I'm happy where I am
21:03she needs you, Dr. Lane
21:04if the offer isn't enough
21:05tell me what you want
21:06I'll make it work
21:07a hundred million dollars, can 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, sorry
21:15Dr. Lane
21:17there's being greedy
21:18and 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
21:27shout I'm a jerk
21:28three times in front of everyone
21:30do that
21:30and 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
21:42I 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
21:53I can go higher
21:53so that's a no
21:54exit's that way
21:55goodbye
22:01sir, I looked into it
22:03the bar accident wasn't random
22:04Ms. 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
22:23it 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
22:40aren't you even a little curious what she looks like?
22:44why would I be?
22:46well if you walked right past her and didn't recognize her that only make it worse
22:48you've got an image to protect sir
22:50or you really want her telling people you're a deadbeat?
22:52my image needs protected 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!

23:24I came in to get it changed. Will you come with me?
23:34Need me to call a wheelchair for you, Mrs. Sherry?
23:38I just twisted my ankle. I didn't mean to grab him. Don't read into it.
23:43You've been practicing that move for a while, haven't you?
23:45Works pretty well, though. Mr. Reed seems to call for it every time.
23:48Do I?
23:50Taking her side, Mr. Reed?
23:52Dr. Lane, you like me.
23:54I'm sorry, that's a condition, Mr. Reed. You should get that checked.
23:57If you don't like me, why do you keep going after the women around me?
24:01I...
24:02I'm going after you, not them. Fine. Doesn't matter.
24:06I am not letting him find out who I am before the divorce is finalized.
24:11Called it. She likes me.
24:14Clear your schedule for the next month.
24:17Why?
24:19I think you know why.
24:27Coco, let's go grab a drink. Two pains in the ass after work.
24:32Best night ever. Top me up. I can keep going.
24:35Sure you can. Let's get you home first.
24:37I still can't believe it. The Nanshore rich guy you told me about. The cheating, useless one.
24:44Lucas Reed. What a piece of work.
24:47Is this how you talk about people behind their backs, Dr. Lane?
24:52Oh, I really want a human.
24:58That was wrong of me. I'm sorry.
25:00Though, why are you here? And don't tell me you're not following me.
25:05Following you? Do I need your permission to come home, Dr. Lane?
25:10Don't tell me that's your place.
25:13Fingerprint recognized. Welcome 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.
25:27Fingerprint recognized.
25:32And you want me to believe this is a coincidence?
25:35I have no idea how this happened. I'll find a new place tomorrow.
25:42Sophie, the place you got me is right across from Lucas.
25:45I need to find somewhere else, far, far away from that bastard.
25:52Mr. Reed, it's quite late. Is there something you need?
25:54Still no contact with her about the paperwork?
25:55She's blocked me, sir. After 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. Whatever 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. Once it's done, we're finished.
26:14Ms. Quinn, bad news. Horizon 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. Talk to me, I'll handle it.
26:25Horizon is LNR Group streaming division.
26:27Word is, Ms. Quinn crossed the LNR Group CEO. He's coming after us personally.
26:32The LNR Group CEO? Lucas Reed?
26:42The cheating, useless one? Lucas Reed? What 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? Just 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. Did you or didn't you order a hit on her company?
27:13You're saying I went after your friend from last night?
27:15Didn't you?
27:17Look, what she said was on me. I'm so sorry. Come after me if you have a problem, but call
27:21it off.
27:21What makes you think I have to accept your apology?
27:29Sir, we never touched Ms. Quinn's company. Why didn't you just say so?
27:33She came at me without knowing the facts. I don't owe her an explanation.
27:39Ellie, I'm sorry. I dragged you into this. It's fine. Lucas is doing this to get back at me. I'll
27:46go deal with him myself.
27:51I'm sorry, Ms. Lane. Mr. Reed says he won't see you.
27:54That's just petty.
27:56Dr. Lane. What a surprise.
27:59Morning, Ms. Sherry. Are 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, they'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, Lucas 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, go 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.
29:24Does 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, and now you're here asking for favors?
29:36All this for her.
29:37I wonder if your ex-wife knew, what would she think?
29:40My 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 gonna 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. Busy Man asks me for coffee.
30:16Alright, 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?
30:25A 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, I 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.
30:43Personal effort goes a long way.
30:46People give me gifts.
30:47I'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.
31:58You think I need that?
32:02Found out who's behind it.
32:03Sherry, jealous of Coco,
32:05curved favor with Horizon Capital,
32:06behind 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.
32:23Your 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.
32:46Fine.
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.
33:04Don't worry.
33:09Don't worry.
33:10Okay, 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, okay.
33:34I'm leaving.
33:40I'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,
34:25should I schedule dinner with Mr. Channing this afternoon?
34:27No.
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?
34:44Her company trouble might be on us.
34:45Sort it out.
34:46Actually, sir.
34:47Nexus 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 get involved.
34:59Nexus is our biggest competitor for the overseas market.
35:02We 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. I'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.
35:36Then 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 Luca's 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.
36:02Are 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 and our group directly.
36:15I'm not sure what he's after.
36:16But don't worry.
36:17He won't trace it back to you.
36:18Is there any chance it's you two to 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 gonna 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?
36:57He 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 gonna stop hiding?
37:14Don't flatter yourself, I'm just-
37:25Have you lost your mind?
37:36What 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 out bowed 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?
39:19A friendship 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.
40:04Are you here to pile on too?
40:06Sherry apologized 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.
40:25You're done working for me.
40:26Ryan, hand her over the police.
40:32Yes, sir?
40:33Lucas, please!
40:34I 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.
40:53Thanks.
40:55That's it?
40:56If you're grateful, you have to actually show it.
40:59It'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.
41:44Ow!
41:45Hold that.
41:48You okay?
41:49Should I get you to a hospital?
41:53Did it blister?
41:54Let me take you to the hospital.
42:00I'm fine.
42:11Eth?
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!
42:20What 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, that'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.
42:44The denial I always liked.
42:46Could you keep them 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?
43:20You 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, and 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 from 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.
44:21It was too bad to finish.
44:23I'll clean up before I go.
44:25Some of us actually care about Ellie.
44:29Ethan, 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?
44:54Sir.
44:55The slippers you asked for.
44:56Your preferred style wins.
44:58There's a new pair that's in place too.
45:01There's another man here.
45:02Wow.
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.
45:33The change is good sometimes.
45:34Right, 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.
46:37Sir, 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, Miss 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.
47:28Which one?
47:28Hargrove.
47:30Cancel the afternoon meeting.
47:38You really love hospitals, Miss Sherry.
47:40You went straight from the police station to here.
47:42What?
47:42Ready for round two?
47:44Take it!
47:44And disappear!
47:46Lucas is out of your league!
47:50And 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.
48:07Bitch!
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. Touch her again and I will come for you. She is not someone you want
48:37to mess with.
48:37So you're the one who saved her company?
48:40Yes.
48:42Sir, I just got word.
48:43Nexus Tech stepped in and sorted out Miss Quincy's company.
48:46So you're the one who saved her company?
48:48Yes.
48:50Though 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, she didn't push me.
49:18You think I pushed her too?
49:20I saw it. She fell on her own. Nothing 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.
50:06Sir.
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...
51:14Elena?
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. I 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.
52:20See you next time.
52:20Don't worry.
