00:00:36The man I loved and the friend I trusted, they were both lying to me.
00:00:48So I signed.
00:00:50Not for love.
00:00:52For revenge.

00:09:15being Mrs. Ezra Gardner puts you at his table
00:09:18it forces him to acknowledge you

00:16:38I want access to Grimes. That's my condition.
00:16:48You'll have it.
00:16:50And I want to design. For real. Not just fetch coffee.
00:16:56You were never meant to fetch coffee, Hallie. I've seen your sketches.
00:17:03You have potential.
00:17:05You've seen my sketches?
00:17:06I'll see you tomorrow, fiancé.
00:17:22It came from the top floor. What is it?
00:17:26It's the first move in my war.
00:17:33Adequate.
00:17:35High praise from you.
00:17:36When you see him, don't look at him like a daughter.
00:17:39Look at him like an equal.
00:17:43I don't know if I can.
00:17:46You can. You have me.
00:17:55Showtime, Mrs. Gardner.
00:17:57Edzra, good to see you.
00:17:59And who is this lovely accessory?
00:18:01Senator, I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
00:18:04Fiancé?
00:18:05You?
00:18:06Yes.
00:18:07This is Hallie.
00:18:08Hallie Andrews.
00:18:10A pleasure to meet you, Senator.
00:18:14The pleasure is mine.
00:18:17I didn't even recognize you.
00:18:19He's intrigued.
00:18:21That's the first step.
00:18:23Now, we burn his world down.
00:18:26The first, we dance.
00:18:34Who are you, eggs for a gardener?
00:18:36The man who saw your value when everyone else was blind.
00:18:42Kiss me.
00:18:44With pleasure.
00:19:09Andrews, explain this.
00:19:10These are Wendy's sketches.
00:19:12Why are you showing them to me?
00:19:13Wendy, don't play dumb.
00:19:15I've been looking for those since yesterday.
00:19:18Security found them in your personal drawer.
00:19:21She was playing a trick.
00:19:23And why would I steal this?
00:19:25It's derivative.
00:19:26It's mediocre.
00:19:27Excuse me?
00:19:28You little thief.
00:19:29You're just a glorified coffee girl.
00:19:31You only got here by men.
00:19:32Enough.
00:19:33Hallie, the sketches were in your desk.
00:19:34That's possession of proprietary IP.
00:19:36We have zero tolerance.
00:19:37Check the cameras.
00:19:39There's a camera right above my desk.
00:19:41Oh, didn't you hear?
00:19:42The cameras on this floor were down yesterday.
00:19:46How convenient.
00:19:48Ms. Andrews, hand over your badge.
00:19:50We need to escort you for an investigative interview.
00:19:52I didn't do it.
00:19:56Holly.
00:19:57This way.
00:19:58Don't touch me.
00:20:02That's what happens when you fly too close to the sun.
00:20:05Sign this.
00:20:06It's standard protocol.
00:20:11Don't sign anything.
00:20:12Mr. Butler, this is an HR matter.
00:20:16Mr. Gardner is on his way down.
00:20:18And he is not pleased.
00:20:31Report.
00:20:33Ms. Gardner.
00:20:33We found stolen sketches in Mrs. Andrews' desk.
00:20:37Proprietary designs belong to Ms. Quinn.
00:20:40Evidence.
00:20:43These were the files, sir.
00:20:51You're telling me my special assistant with access to this infomerate's confidential financials
00:20:56risked her career to steal this?
00:20:58This pedestrian, uninspired garbage?
00:21:02Sir, it's the fall lead piece.
00:21:04It's a poor knockoff of a Balenciade code from five years ago.
00:21:07Where is the security footage?
00:21:09The cameras were down, sir.
00:21:11Maintenance.
00:21:11Maintenance.
00:21:13I pay $40 million a year for a system that rivals the Pentagon, and it just happened to
00:21:18go down?
00:21:18Finley, get IT security.
00:21:20I want a forensic audit of the server logs.
00:21:22Pull the physical backup tape from the basement.
00:21:24If I find out this was a setup, termination will be the least of your worries.
00:21:28I will sue you for corporate sabotage until your great-crazed grandchildren are paying the
00:21:32legal fees.
00:21:36Tear that up.
00:21:41Ms. Andrews returns to her desk.
00:21:43If anyone has a problem with that, they can see me.
00:21:46Personally.
00:21:48Allie.
00:21:50Yes?
00:21:51My office.
00:21:52Tomorrow morning, 8 a.m.
00:22:06Bring an appetite.
00:22:07I'm not eating alone.
00:22:22Sit.
00:22:24Eat.
00:22:27You look like you haven't eaten since the gala.
00:22:34It's for energy.
00:22:35For catching rats.
00:22:38He thinks, your assistant, he definitely thinks we're sleeping together.
00:22:43He knows we are engaged.
00:22:45It's functionally the same thing in his mind.
00:22:48It's not.
00:22:49This is a business arrangement.
00:22:55Who paid for this breakfast?
00:22:57The company account.
00:22:59Why?
00:23:00I want to pay for my share.
00:23:01I am not a kept woman.
00:23:05I have a salary.
00:23:08Hallie, the orange juice costs more than your hourly rate.
00:23:12I don't care.
00:23:13How much?
00:23:15If it makes your fragile ego feel better, $200.
00:23:20For eggs?
00:23:22Are the kick-ins made of gold?
00:23:24It's from Le Couchet.
00:23:26Just eat the eggs, Hallie.
00:23:37That covers the eggs and the coffee.
00:23:39I'm not paying for the truffle fries because I didn't ask for them.
00:23:42You are ridiculous.
00:23:44I am independent.
00:23:48I have a rat to catch.
00:23:57Did you see?
00:23:58She just threw money at him.
00:24:00A 20?
00:24:01Is she tipping him?
00:24:02Or paying for...
00:24:04services?
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:09Spill.
00:24:10Did you pay as a $20 to kiss you?
00:24:12Or did he pay you to leave?
00:24:15It was for breakfast!
00:24:17We went Dutch!
00:24:19You went Dutch with a billionaire?
00:24:23Hallie, you are doing this so wrong.
00:24:39I told you the cameras were wiped.
00:24:42But the big boss is pulling the physical tapes.
00:24:44If they find out, I cut the feed.
00:24:46They won't.
00:24:47Just tell them it was a glitch.
00:24:49Here.
00:24:57Who's there?
00:25:00Who's there?
00:25:03Who's there?
00:25:04Who's there?
00:25:06Who's there?
00:25:12Who's there?
00:25:23Who's there?
00:25:27Is there a problem?
00:25:29No.
00:25:30No, sir.
00:25:31We just heard a noise.

00:29:38yes
00:29:41Yes, I am.
00:29:43Finley, escort Ms. Quinn out, have legal draft the termination papers, and notify the industry blacklist.
00:29:53Now, let's talk about that face you made.
00:29:55What face?
00:29:56The one when she called me darling.
00:29:59You looked like you wanted to vomit when Wendy called me darling, or kill her.
00:30:04It was tacky. She sounded like she owned you.
00:30:07And that bothers you? Why?
00:30:08Because you're my boss.
00:30:11I'm your fiancé.
00:30:14Fake fiancé.
00:30:16Is it? You defended your territory, Hallie. That was jealousy.
00:30:21I am not jealous.
00:30:24Wendy is gone. Now for the other obstacle. Irvin.
00:30:30I have a plan. I'll handle him.
00:30:33You have three days. I don't like my future wife having a boyfriend.
00:30:38I'm not sharing. I haven't let him touch me in weeks.
00:30:43Good. Keep it that way.
00:30:51Ezra?
00:30:53If I called you darling, would it be gross?
00:30:56If you called me darling, I would probably buy you an island.
00:31:14Finley is outside the store. He'll drive you to dinner.
00:31:19He's always watching.
00:31:21And tonight Irving is going to learn what happens when you lie to the wrong woman.
00:31:29Mr. Gardner is concerned, Hallie. Irving Vinsonin is a snake.
00:31:34Snakes get stepped on when they're cornered, Finley. I'm wearing boots.
00:31:45Hollie? Is that you?
00:31:48Hi, babe.
00:31:49You look incredible. I've never seen you dress like this.
00:31:52I felt like celebrating. Bring us your most expensive champagne.
00:31:56Celebrating what?
00:31:57Your big bonus, of course. You are paying, right?
00:32:01Of course. I'll... be right back. Restroom.
00:32:08Leah? Who is Leah?
00:32:12An image. Look at our little bean.
00:32:18No. It's an ultrasound.
00:32:22Six weeks. Strong heartbeat. Call me.
00:32:26I'm back. What's wrong? You look pale.
00:32:29Just overwhelmed with happiness for us.
00:32:35A toast. To us. To the future.
00:32:39To us.
00:32:40Are you okay? You're quiet.
00:32:44Just thinking.
00:32:46About loyalty.
00:32:48Loyalty's important. That's why we work, right? We're a team.
00:32:52A team.
00:33:05Did you do it?
00:33:10She's pregnant.
00:33:13Leah?
00:33:15I saw the text on his phone.
00:33:18The ultrasound.
00:33:20I will destroy him.
00:33:21I will burn his career to the ground tonight.
00:33:24No.
00:33:27Not yet.
00:33:30I need to do it.
00:33:31You're hurting.
00:33:32Let me handle it.
00:33:35I need to be the one to end it.
00:33:38Okay. Go back there.
00:33:41I'll finish it.
00:33:45I'll be right here.
00:34:03Ready for dessert?
00:34:05No. Check, please.
00:34:07What is wrong with you tonight?
00:34:09Let's go outside.
00:34:10It's over, Irving.
00:34:14What? Don't be dramatic.
00:34:17It's about Leah.
00:34:19It's about the baby.
00:34:23You? How do you know?
00:34:26I saw the message.
00:34:29Congratulations.
00:34:31You're going to be a father.
00:34:33And you're single.
00:34:36You can't just walk away.
00:34:38You're my ticket of fashion week.
00:34:40You owe me.
00:34:41I owe you nothing.
00:34:46Get up.
00:34:47You're making a scene.
00:34:53Touch her again,
00:34:54and you will lose the hand.
00:34:57Mr. Gardner!
00:34:59I...
00:35:00She fell!
00:35:01You are suspended.
00:35:03Security will escort you from the premises.
00:35:06Security escort you from the premises.
00:35:08If you attempt to enter again,
00:35:10I will have you arrested.
00:35:22I'm ruining your car.
00:35:23I'm ruining your suit.
00:35:30You're not ruining anything.
00:35:35You're finally coming home.
00:35:43Turn up the heat.
00:35:45Already done, sir.
00:35:46My dress is ruined.
00:35:48I look like a disaster.
00:35:50You look free.
00:35:51He's gone, Hallie.
00:35:54He can never hurt you again.
00:35:57He...
00:35:58He pushed me.
00:35:59He actually put his hands on me.
00:36:02And he will pay for it.
00:36:04Finley, call security.
00:36:06Revoke Irving's access tonight.
00:36:10Pack his office into boxes
00:36:11and leave them on the curb.
00:36:16Why are we here?
00:36:17This isn't my apartment.
00:36:18You're not going back there tonight.
00:36:19It's not safe.
00:36:20But all my stuff...
00:36:22We'll buy new stuff.
00:36:31I can walk.
00:36:32Indulge me.
00:36:33Shower.
00:36:34Get warm.
00:36:35I'll find you something dry.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:38Okay.
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:46Bourbon.
00:36:47It's medicinal.
00:36:48What happens now?
00:36:50Now?
00:36:50We go to S Country.
00:36:52We win Fashion Week.
00:36:53We acquire the brand.
00:36:55And the marriage?
00:36:56The marriage stands.
00:36:57But the terms have changed.
00:36:59No more hiding.
00:37:00You are mine, Hallie.
00:37:02In public and in private.
00:37:05Ezra.
00:37:07For catching me.
00:37:09I will always catch you.
00:37:24You're out.
00:37:25Better?
00:37:26Yes.
00:37:28You're drinking?
00:37:28Finley isn't here yet.
00:37:30The rain.
00:37:31You shouldn't drink on an empty stomach.
00:37:34You haven't eaten.
00:37:36I'm fine.
00:37:39I'm fine.
00:37:46You're not fine.
00:37:47It's your leg, isn't it?
00:37:48The alcohol is making it worse.
00:37:50The pain.
00:37:51It dulls the edges.
00:37:52You're heavy.
00:37:54Come on.
00:37:54You need to sit down.
00:37:56Or sleep.
00:37:57Bedroom.
00:37:58Finley.
00:37:59Tell him to go home.
00:38:03Come on.
00:38:04Come on.
00:38:14Allie.
00:38:16Ezra.
00:38:17You're in pain.
00:38:18You need to get off.
00:38:19If I move, I might do something I can't take back.
00:38:23Like what?
00:38:24Like never letting you leave this room.
00:38:30Ezra.
00:38:43Good morning.
00:38:50Did you sleep?
00:38:53Ezra.
00:38:56Stay still.
00:38:58Just for a minute.
00:39:09I'm sorry.
00:39:12Hallie?
00:39:13I didn't.
00:39:15You were too close.
00:39:16He...
00:39:16He...
00:39:17Irving grabbed me like that.
00:39:19I panicked.
00:39:21You're afraid of me.
00:39:23No.
00:39:24I'm not.
00:39:25I'm just not used to being touched.
00:39:28I am not him.
00:39:30I would never hurt you.
00:39:31I know.
00:39:33But my body doesn't know that yet.
00:39:35Go get changed.
00:39:37Finley will take you to your apartment to get your things.
00:39:39I have a meeting.
00:39:41I have a meeting.
00:39:42I have a meeting.
00:39:50I have a meeting.
00:39:54I have a meeting.
00:39:55I have a meeting.
00:40:06We're closed for lunch.
00:40:07And we don't do alterations on polyester.
00:40:13It's not polyester.
00:40:14It's Italian silk.
00:40:17And I'm not asking for an alteration.
00:40:19I'm asking for a resurrection.
00:40:21Resurrection.
00:40:27This is my work.
00:40:30Where did you get this?
00:40:31It belongs to someone I care about.
00:40:34I damaged it.
00:40:35I need to fix it.
00:40:37The button.
00:40:38Do you have it?
00:40:39Do you have it?
00:40:41It's Mother of Pearl.
00:40:42Vintage.
00:40:44No, I lost it.
00:40:46But the tear.
00:40:47It doesn't have to be invisible.
00:40:49The man who wears this isn't perfect.
00:40:52What if the mend was visible?
00:40:55A detail that shows history.
00:40:58You know fabric.
00:40:59More than that, you know the man.
00:41:02The owner.
00:41:03He's impatient.
00:41:06Very impatient.
00:41:07I'm Silas.
00:41:09I'll fix it.
00:41:10But you'll help me select the thread.
00:41:24You tell your friend he owes me a bottle of scotch for this.
00:41:28And tell him not to ruin this one.
00:41:31Ruin the shirt?
00:41:33Sure.
00:41:34Sure.
00:41:35The shirt.
00:41:35It'll be ready Saturday.
00:41:37Pick it up at my workshop.
00:41:38It's on Long Island.
00:41:48Ezra.
00:41:50Grandfather?
00:41:52Is everything okay?
00:41:53Better than okay.
00:41:55The girl, Holly.
00:41:56She brought your shirt in.
00:41:58She has a fire in her.
00:42:00I like her.
00:42:01She found you.
00:42:03Of course she did.
00:42:05She thinks my name is a coincidence.
00:42:07Keep it that way.
00:42:09I want her at the birthday gale on Saturday.
00:42:12She thinks she's just picking up laundry.
00:42:17Grandpa, that's entrapment.
00:42:20Call it a stress test.
00:42:22If she can handle our family, she can handle you.
00:42:35Good riddice.
00:42:37Good riddice.
00:42:51Did you tell her?
00:42:53Not yet.
00:42:54I have to play this dinner right.
00:42:56She's suspicious.
00:43:00Just dump her, Irving.
00:43:01I'm pregnant.
00:43:03You promised.
00:43:04I know.
00:43:04But she's close to Gartner now.
00:43:07If I play the supportive boyfriend, I get into the S-Country delegation.
00:43:11Once I have the contacts, I drop her.
00:43:14Simple.
00:43:15She's so pathetic.
00:43:16She actually thinks you love her?
00:43:18She's used to concepts for my pitch.
00:43:23Once I have the files, she's history.
00:43:33He called me pathetic.
00:43:37He called me useful.
00:43:42A private fight is too small for a public humiliation.
00:43:47The reckoning will be public.
00:43:49Hmm.
00:43:56No.
00:43:57Not his tower.
00:43:58Not his help.
00:44:00I'll pay my own way.
00:44:18Reservation for Andrews.
00:44:21Miss?
00:44:22Are you okay?
00:44:24Just...
00:44:25Tired.
00:44:32Miss?
00:44:42Hallie?
00:44:43Ezra.
00:44:45Help.
00:44:46Where are you?
00:44:50Standard.
00:44:51Lobby.
00:44:53Don't move.
00:44:55I'm three minutes away.
00:45:02Hallie.
00:45:04Talk to me.
00:45:05Stomach.
00:45:06Knives.
00:45:10My car is out front to Mount Sinai.
00:45:12Go!
00:45:15Clear the room.
00:45:16I'll take this.
00:45:17I'm Dr. Gardner Solon, Ezra's aunt.
00:45:20And you must be the girl who made him run a red line.
00:45:22It's acute gastritis.
00:45:24Stress-induced.
00:45:25We're going to stop the pain.
00:45:31You're awake.
00:45:34Did I die?
00:45:35No.
00:45:36But you tried your best to give me a heart attack.
00:45:40I'm sorry.
00:45:41I didn't mean to call you.
00:45:45It was an accident.
00:45:48Who else would you call?
00:45:529-1-1?
00:45:55I'm faster than 9-1-1.
00:45:58She's stable.
00:45:59You're staying overnight.
00:46:03I can't afford a private room.
00:46:05It's covered.
00:46:09Employee benefits.
00:46:11Go to sleep, Hallie.
00:46:15I'm not leaving.
00:46:20Exa, you didn't have to come.
00:46:23Yes.
00:46:24I did.
00:46:28Why do I get poached salmon while you're eating cardboard?
00:46:32You have a delicate stomach.
00:46:34I have one of steel.
00:46:38I'm Venmoing you for this.
00:46:47You want me to buy you dinner?
00:46:49You own the restaurant.
00:46:52You own the restaurant.
00:46:56I want a home-cooked meal.
00:46:58I can cook.
00:47:03Prove it.
00:47:06Where is the invalid?
00:47:09We had to see the woman who finally made Ezra Gardner leave a bored meal.
00:47:15Get out.
00:47:17Hi.
00:47:19I'm Luke.
00:47:20Ezra talks about you.
00:47:21A lot.
00:47:23He talks about me?
00:47:25I mentioned my assistant.
00:47:28Once.
00:47:29Once?
00:47:30You almost bought out her coffee shop because they kept messing up her latte.
00:47:37You did what?
00:47:44Out!
00:47:45She needs to rest.
00:47:51She needs to rest.
00:47:55It was a strategic assessment of real estate value.
00:48:00You're a terrible liar, Axel.
00:48:02I'm a very good liar.
00:48:06But with you, it's becoming difficult.
00:48:10Why?
00:48:12Because you see too much.
00:48:23Vitals check.
00:48:32What the...
00:48:33It's just...
00:48:35Gone.
00:48:35Don't go in.
00:48:37The place smells like a sewer.
00:48:40Irving did this.
00:48:42No.
00:48:45The landlord.
00:48:46See the paper stapled to the wall?
00:48:47Eviction notice.
00:48:48He never told me.
00:48:49He just took the door?
00:48:51But my boxes.
00:48:52My clothes.
00:48:53Leave them.
00:48:54Everything in there is contaminated.
00:48:55It's not safe.
00:48:56I can't just leave.
00:48:58Everything I own.
00:48:59Hallie, look at me.
00:49:01It's stuff.
00:49:03We can replace stuff.
00:49:04I can't replace you if some junkie attacks you in there.
00:49:07Where do I go?
00:49:09I have nowhere.
00:49:11You come with me.
00:49:13The penthouse.
00:49:14No.
00:49:15I can't live with you.
00:49:17It crosses a line.
00:49:18The line was crossed
00:49:19when I carried you out of a hotel lobby bleeding.
00:49:22I need my own space.
00:49:24I need to pay for it myself.
00:49:26Fine.
00:49:27The Gardner Tower has corporate suites.
00:49:2940th floor.
00:49:30Secure.
00:49:31Private.
00:49:32How much?
00:49:34Employee rate.
00:49:35$50 a night.
00:49:38$50?
00:49:40For a Manhattan suite?
00:49:41You're lying.
00:49:43Do you want the room or the street?
00:49:50It has a door.
00:49:59What are you doing?
00:50:01Checking for bugs, cameras, listening devices.
00:50:05You're paranoid.
00:50:07I'm careful.
00:50:09I'm in the penthouse, 10 floors up.
00:50:12Private elevator code is 0815.
00:50:15Use it if you need anything.
00:50:170815?
00:50:17Is that a date?
00:50:18It's the SEC filing date for our last major acquisition.
00:50:22Get some sleep.
00:50:24Lock the door.
00:50:31You wanted him so badly, Leah.
00:50:34You stole him.
00:50:36You lied for him.
00:50:38So thank you for taking out my trash.
00:50:44She's so pathetic.
00:50:45I just need her to sketch the concepts.
00:50:47Once I have the files, she's history.
00:50:49She actually thinks you love her.
00:50:51God, remember that scarf?
00:50:53Love?
00:50:54Please.
00:50:55I'm doing this for your uncle's trust fund.
00:50:57Once we're married and the baby secures my stake,
00:50:59I can finally stop pretending to care.
00:51:03You son of a bitch!
00:51:05No!
00:51:06Uncle Ray!
00:51:06Stop!
00:51:07He didn't mean it!
00:51:08Get off me!
00:51:09I'll sue you!
00:51:11I'll...
00:51:20Allie?
00:51:21I did it.
00:51:23I blew it up.
00:51:25Irving confessed to fraud on tape.
00:51:27The police were arriving.
00:51:29Good.
00:51:31So why do you look like you lost?
00:51:32Because it doesn't change anything.
00:51:35I'm still the girl who was fooled for three years.
00:51:37You're the girl who fought back.
00:51:39Most people would have cried.
00:51:42You burned his world down.
00:51:45Welcome to the club.
00:51:49I just got a text.
00:51:51My repair is ready for pickup in Southampton.
00:51:54Southampton?
00:51:55I have a house out there.
00:51:59I'm heading out tomorrow morning.
00:52:01I can give you a lift.
00:52:03Really?
00:52:05That would be great.
00:52:07Or to meet your night-night.
00:52:10It's on the way.
00:52:11Go to bed, Allie.
00:52:14We leave at 9.
00:52:23Is there a party?
00:52:24It appears to be a formal event.
00:52:26You can't go in wearing that.
00:52:34Put this on.
00:52:36The back seat is private.
00:52:38What?
00:52:39No.
00:52:39I'm not crashing a party.
00:52:41My grandfather would be insulted if you didn't stay.
00:52:44You will be respected.
00:52:46Change.
00:52:58Allie!
00:52:59You came!
00:53:01Silas?
00:53:06Grandfather.
00:53:10Grandfather!
00:53:11Come in!
00:53:12Come in!
00:53:13Everyone is dying to meet you!
00:53:16Drah, what is going on?
00:53:17You said he was a tailor.
00:53:20He is.
00:53:21He just happens to own the company, too.
00:53:23And this is his 80th birthday gala.
00:53:25I am going to kill you.
00:53:29Smile.
00:53:29If you run now, you humiliate him and me.
00:53:45Ezra.
00:53:47You brought a date?
00:53:50Camila.
00:53:51Meet Hala.
00:54:00My fiancée.
00:54:05You deliberately paraded me in front of her?
00:54:10You used our arrangement to provoke your ex-girlfriend without a single warning?
00:54:17I was establishing your position.
00:54:19As my fiancée, you need to get used to swatting away flies like Camila.
00:54:23She looked at me like I was something she'd scrape off her shoe.
00:54:26She's dangerous, Axel.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:29She's also vindictive.
00:54:30If she thinks you're just an employee, she'll destroy you for sport.
00:54:33If she believes this is real, she has to hesitate.
00:54:36You have no idea who she is to me.
00:54:38What that family represents.
00:54:39I know you've been investigating Senator Grimes.
00:54:42My security team flagged your deep dives into his financials.
00:54:47You've been watching me?
00:54:49Svother.
00:54:50I've been protecting my assets.
00:54:52You are one of them.
00:54:55That man's corruption cost my family everyone.
00:54:58That's all you need to know.
00:55:00Then you need this protection even more.
00:55:02I didn't sign up to be a weapon in your personal vendas.
00:55:06Irving has poisoned your reputation.
00:55:08He's telling everyone you stole designs.
00:55:11Even with him gone, the rumors will stick.
00:55:14But as Hallie Gardner, you become untouchable.
00:55:19And what do you get?
00:55:20My grandfather off my back.
00:55:22And as my wife, you'll have the power to face the senator directly.
00:55:26So it's a transaction.
00:55:28It's an escalation of our contract.
00:55:32One year, we live together, we play the part.
00:55:35You get access, protection, and resources.
00:55:39I get stability.
00:55:41And the physical terms?
00:55:46No forced intimacy.
00:55:49Unless you want it.
00:55:51Cake time!
00:55:53Come on, lovebirds!
00:55:54Come on, lovebirds!
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:04Okay.
00:56:05Let's go cut a cake, darling.
00:56:10One year.
00:56:14I have no intention of letting you go in a year.
00:56:17I'm playing the long game.
00:56:21Stop the car.
00:56:23We're 40 minutes from the city, Hallie.
00:56:25Go back to sleep.
00:56:26I said, stop the car.
00:56:29No.
00:56:33Put that back on.
00:56:34You manipulated me.
00:56:36You paraded me around like a trophy just to scare off your ex-girlfriend.
00:56:40I gave you a shield.
00:56:42As my fiancée, Camilla can't touch you.
00:56:44I don't want a shield that comes with a leash!
00:56:46You didn't ask me!
00:56:47Because you were drowning.
00:56:49And I don't let my investments drown.
00:56:51An investment?
00:56:53Is that what I am?
00:56:54Pull over, Extra!
00:56:55Or I swear to God, I will open this door right now!
00:56:58Stop!
00:57:01You are reckless.
00:57:04I am free.
00:57:13Get back in the car, Hallie.
00:57:15No.
00:57:16I'm not going back to your tower.
00:57:18I'm not going back to your rules.
00:57:20And where are you going to go?
00:57:21It's 2 a.m.
00:57:22You're in a ball gown on the expressway.
00:57:26I'll figure it out.
00:57:27I'm calling an Uber.
00:57:28Fine.
00:57:29You want independence?
00:57:31Have it.
00:57:42No cars available?
00:57:44No, no, no!
00:57:47Pick up the phone, Hallie.
00:57:49Just call a car.
00:57:50I hate you!
00:57:52You are an arrogant, controlling jerk!
00:57:54Message not delivered?
00:57:56No service?
00:57:58Fine.
00:57:59I don't need you either.
00:58:04Hey.
00:58:05You haven't eaten.
00:58:06I got you a tuna melt.
00:58:22No, please, no.
00:58:31Well, well, well.
00:58:33What are you doing here, Hallie?
00:58:34Hala, go away, Leah.
00:58:36I'm here for my prenatal checkup.
00:58:39Irving and I need to look like a perfect, happy family.
00:58:43What are you hiding?
00:58:46Nothing.
00:58:49Hey!
00:58:50Give that back!
00:58:52Oh, my God.
00:58:54A pregnancy test?
00:58:56You?
00:58:57Give it back.
00:59:00Who's the daddy, Hala?
00:59:02Is it Irvin?
00:59:04Or that billionaire you're trying to scam?
00:59:06Shut up!
00:59:07You don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:09I know exactly what you are.
00:59:10A desperate little climber.
00:59:12Irving told me everything.
00:59:14Leah, stop.
00:59:15Or what?
00:59:16You'll cry?
00:59:18Like your mother cried when your dad left her?
00:59:26What did you say?
00:59:27Irving told me about your mommy issues.
00:59:30About how your mother was some groupie who couldn't keep her legs shut.
00:59:38You bitch!
00:59:40My baby!
00:59:41She pushed me!
00:59:42Help!
