00:00:00You're a pathetic single mom, Maria.

00:00:02You don't stand a chance.

00:00:03Levi Preston, the CEO who owns this factory,

00:00:06he's disabled.

00:00:10God, her touch.

00:00:11I shouldn't be feeling this alive.

00:00:13Mom, I don't like any of that.

00:00:15I promise you.

00:00:17How dare you talk about my daughter like that?

00:00:20I'm done with you and your family.

00:00:22We're leaving.

00:00:23Nobody wants a single mom like you

00:00:25and a useless kid like you.

00:00:27The ones who hurt your deepest are often the closest.

00:00:32Maria Harrison.

00:00:36Will you marry me?

00:00:37Yeah, I'll marry you.

00:00:39I'll fix this.

00:00:40I'll get him walking you.

00:00:43The only reason we buy and I'm together

00:00:44is because he needs me taking care of his legs.

00:00:47Does she really see me as nothing more than a patient?

00:00:49His legs get better, but it might mean it just be with me.

00:00:53He's not crippled.

00:00:54You think he'd still want you?

00:00:55Are you going to get divorced?

00:01:08My name is Maria Harrison.

00:01:10I grew up in a small town in Texas.

00:01:12And six years ago, I moved to California

00:01:14with a man I loved.

00:01:16We, uh, never got the chance to get married.

00:01:19But

00:01:21he gave me the best thing in my life.

00:01:23Our daughter, Judy.

00:01:30Judy will love these.

00:01:33and now she's finally going to have her own pair of gloves for her birthday.

00:15:31Helen, Maria didn't come home to cook?

00:15:33Nope, and yesterday's clothes are still filthy.

00:15:36She and that little bastard both vanished.

00:15:39I hate to say I told you so, but she's acting completely out of control.

00:15:44And when you do see her, tell her to cook and wash immediately.

00:15:47And then make her kneel outside for an hour before you forgive her.

00:15:51I gotta rein her in, no matter how.

00:15:54I'll make sure she never runs away again.

00:15:57She's seriously been missing for almost a full day now.

00:16:00What if she doesn't come back?

00:16:02Please, she's not gonna go back to the sticks.

00:16:04She was even asking me about sending Judy to Maplewood.

00:16:08As if that brat could get into the best school in California.

00:16:11If anyone deserves to go to Maplewood, it's Wayne.

00:16:15He needs the best school.

00:16:17Why can't we send Wayne to Maplewood?

00:16:19It's the best of the best.

00:16:20Ma, you're crazy.

00:16:22We've been trying to even get into the front door, but we don't have a recommendation.

00:16:26We've been trying forever.

00:16:28Didn't your CEO Levi Preston visit yesterday?

00:16:31Go butter him up.

00:16:32See if we can get a recommendation for Wayne.

00:16:34Mr. Preston's untouchable.

00:16:36I can't even get near him.

00:16:37I'll try calling him again and see if we can get a tour at least at the inside.

00:16:47You gonna help wheel me in?

00:16:52Whoa!

00:16:57This place is huge.

00:17:01Judy, your mom said you love fencing, so I got you this.

00:17:08You like it?

00:17:09Oh, I love it!

00:17:15Let me see.

00:17:18Come here.

00:17:22I'll fix this.

00:17:23I'll get him walking again.

00:17:27Oh, sorry!

00:17:28It's okay.

00:17:29It's okay.

00:17:29Don't worry.

00:17:30It's fine.

00:17:56No, no, no.

00:17:57I can do it.

00:17:58I'll do it.

00:17:59We have maids that can do this.

00:18:00You married me so I can help you?

00:18:02Let me help you.

00:18:04Let me help you.

00:18:11Let me help you.

00:19:13I...

00:19:15I'm so sorry.

00:19:17I didn't mean to...

00:19:19I didn't mean to...

00:19:22Why do I want to kiss him again?

00:19:24A real one this time.

00:19:29Mommy? Levi?

00:19:31What are you doing in there?

00:19:35One second, baby!

00:19:37It's okay.

00:19:39It's okay.

00:19:40This is good.

00:19:41Okay, this is progress.

00:19:44I, uh...

00:19:45I'm gonna go put Judy to bed.

00:19:47We still have to take her to school tomorrow.

00:20:00What you think? It's nice, right?

00:20:02Do you like it?

00:20:03Yeah.

00:20:06Mr. Preston.

00:20:08Principal Alex.

00:20:09Mrs. Preston.

00:20:10Nice to meet you.

00:20:10Welcome.

00:20:11This is my daughter, Judy.

00:20:14Hi, Principal Alex.

00:20:18He just...

00:20:19He claimed her as his daughter.

00:20:21Heard you married a country girl and got a kid, too.

00:20:24Bring him out sometime.

00:20:27No.

00:20:28No wife.

00:20:31Tristan hit us like we're nothing.

00:20:33Levi?

00:20:35He's part of us.

00:20:36Maybe he's the good husband and Judy's dad I'm...

00:20:39I meant to have.

00:20:44Okay, so...

00:20:45Everything's set?

00:20:46Want me to show you around?

00:20:47No, that's okay.

00:20:48I think we got it from here.

00:20:49Why don't you go exploring?

00:20:51I'll handle the paperwork.

00:20:53Sounds good.

00:20:54Come on.

00:20:55Come on, baby.

00:20:56Thank you again.

00:21:03Principal Alex, I'm donating a fencing center to the school.

00:21:07Judy's obsessed with it.

00:21:08She might not have like the basic training down yet,

00:21:10but I want her to get the best education she can.

00:21:12We'll make sure she gets the best of everything.

00:21:15You really do love your wife and daughter.

00:21:20My one and only precious family.

00:21:23Come here. Come here. Come here.

00:21:27Yeah?

00:21:28I don't even know. It's quite nice.

00:21:30You want a... a... a tiger.

00:21:34Oh, my God.

00:21:35This place is so fancy.

00:21:38Helen, we have to get Wayne enrolled here.

00:21:40Well, we can only visit for now.

00:21:42Schools like this just don't open up their doors for anybody.

00:21:47Hi.

00:21:48Hi.

00:21:49How are you?

00:21:50Are you Preston's family?

00:21:51Yes. Hi.

00:21:52I'm Mrs. Kira, Judy's teacher.

00:21:55Nice to meet you.

00:21:56Mrs. Judy.

00:21:58She's very excited.

00:22:00Is...

00:22:01Is that Maria?

00:22:03Don't mention that nanny again.

00:22:05Even if Maria worked until the day that she died,

00:22:08security would never let her...

00:22:11Is that Maria?

00:22:20Maria, you've been ghosting us for weeks.

00:22:23Where the hell have you been?

00:22:25Well, that's none of your business.

00:22:28Judy, why don't you go inside with Miss Kira, okay?

00:22:31Are you insane?

00:22:32Thinking your little bracket just waltzed her way into Maplewood?

00:22:37Hey!

00:22:39Don't screw this up.

00:22:40We're here for Wayne.

00:22:42Now get your ass home, and maybe I'll marry you.

00:22:45How many times do I have to tell you?

00:22:46We're done.

00:22:48Come on, Judy, let's go.

00:22:49How'd you get in here, you little hillbilly?

00:22:51Did you sneak in?

00:22:52Teacher, come and get this trashy invader.

00:22:56Security's coming.

00:22:57You better get lost before the teacher comes back.

00:23:00Let go of me!

00:23:02Mommy, help me!

00:23:03Let go of my daughter.

00:23:05She's a student here.

00:23:05I'm gonna call security.

00:23:07Shut your trap.

00:23:08I pulled every string I could just to get Tristan a tour of the school.

00:23:12What did you do?

00:23:12Steal again?

00:23:14Tristan, get your little brat in line.

00:23:17Show her who's boss.

00:23:18I can't let her ruin Wayne's chances of getting in.

00:23:22Don't make a scene.

00:23:23One more word and security will haul us all away.

00:23:25Mommy!

00:23:30Tristan, I'm warning you, Judy is not your daughter anymore and she's not a thief.

00:23:35She's a VIP student.

00:23:40A VIP student?

00:23:42Please!

00:23:43What?

00:23:44There's still money to get her in?

00:23:46She's the child of a single mom.

00:23:47That's why she's always so disturbing.

00:23:49Look at them.

00:23:50Who lets trash like that step foot in our school?

00:23:53Kids from broken homes always end up twisted.

00:23:56Son, stay away from her.

00:23:57I don't wanna be friends with the thief!

00:23:59Go back to your trailer park!

00:24:00Get out!

00:24:01Don't make me tell me twice.

00:24:03Stop it, liar!

00:24:04This place isn't for you!

00:24:15Judy!

00:24:22Monster!

00:24:23She pushed me!

00:24:24Teacher, Tristan.

00:24:25Felt this little brat.

00:24:27Show her who's boss.

00:24:30This'll shut you up.

00:24:40Great.

00:24:41Mr. Tristan, I promise your daughter will be well taken care of.

00:24:45Thanks.

00:24:49Principal Alec?

00:24:51For what happened?

00:24:52Mr. Preston?

00:24:53It's really him?

00:24:54So that was his wife and daughter just now?

00:24:56Mr. Preston, your wife is in a fight at the entrance.

00:25:00Someone's hurting her and your daughter.

00:25:02Take me to her now.

00:25:04Help!

00:25:05Help me!

00:25:06Help me!

00:25:07Maria, it's time for you and your miserable child to finally learn your place.

00:25:11Let go of my mommy!

00:25:16Who dares try to hurt my wife and daughter?

00:25:25Who dares try to hurt my wife and daughter?

00:25:33You okay?

00:25:35What the hell is going on here?

00:25:38Principal Alec, just in time.

00:25:40This girl's got sticky fingers and her mom's no better.

00:25:43She's a single mom.

00:25:44That's why the kids so screwed up.

00:25:45They're claiming to be students here.

00:25:47Like we'd believe that crap.

00:25:50Who said that?

00:25:51She did.

00:25:53I...

00:25:54Mr. Preston, my brother is one of your factory workers.

00:25:57And this little slut hooked up with him in Texas and had to get herself pregnant

00:26:02with that little conniving rat.

00:26:07How dare you talk about my daughter like that?

00:26:14I slept away as your family's nanny for six fucking years.

00:26:18Everything I did was for my daughter.

00:26:21And you beat her for fun.

00:26:23You make her kneel out in the pouring rain with the cold.

00:26:29You know, I want you to remember this.

00:26:32Every hit...

00:26:34Is for her.

00:26:38You little slut! How dare you hit me!

00:26:42God, this trashy family.

00:26:44They treat her and Judy like garbage.

00:26:55You deadbeat!

00:26:57Poke your whore off of her now!

00:26:59I dare you to try that!

00:27:02What the hell is going on here?

00:27:04Huh?

00:27:05Parents and students getting attacked right inside school grounds?

00:27:07I'm seriously starting to question the security here at Maplewood.

00:27:10This... this is all our fault.

00:27:12I'll handle it right away.

00:27:14Security!

00:27:15Round them up!

00:27:18You idiots!

00:27:20Hold that bitch and haul her away!

00:27:23What the...

00:27:24What the...

00:27:25What the hell are you doing?

00:27:26Get off me!

00:27:27She's the one who started it!

00:27:29She beat on her!

00:27:31Everyone saw!

00:27:31Huh?

00:27:32Yeah, yeah!

00:27:32She's the one that's assaulting people!

00:27:34That was self-defense!

00:27:36Get them out of here!

00:27:36I don't want to see them here again!

00:27:38Weird.

00:27:39Why is Mr. Preston holding Judy like that?

00:27:43Looks like she's his own kid.

00:27:50Oh, ma'am, you must be married to some big shot.

00:27:55Everyone, this is Mr. Preston's wife and daughter.

00:27:59Mr. Preston?

00:28:00As in THE Preston's?

00:28:02Rich's family in America?

00:28:04Oh, ma'am.

00:28:05What have I done?

00:28:06I was so rude to their wife and kid.

00:28:08Go on, apologize to Judy.

00:28:10Now!

00:28:10Sorry, Judy.

00:28:13I'm sorry, I didn't...

00:28:15Hey.

00:28:16Hey.

00:28:16You get to decide whether you accept their apology, okay?

00:28:23What?

00:28:23Sorry, Judy.

00:28:26Sorry.

00:28:36That's sick.

00:28:37Get your hands off my stuff!

00:28:45I'm so sorry, Judy.

00:28:46Mommy couldn't protect you all by myself.

00:28:49And that's why you've suffered so much.

00:28:53But it's okay now.

00:28:55There's one more person to protect you.

00:28:58Protect... us.

00:51:48pity right and i i take care of him

00:51:51that's all

00:52:02Bye, mom. Watch me selay. Bye, baby.

00:52:16This is bullshit. I came in for wedding nails. Who has time for this crap otherwise? And

00:52:21you treat me like some rando off the street. Hey, our skills are what they are. If it's

00:52:27not fancy enough for your big day, take your drama elsewhere. I don't have time for that.

00:52:32My wedding's in three days and you promised me. Fix your mess now. Excuse me? I'm sorry.

00:52:38I couldn't help it over here. It sounds like you just want something simple, like a soft

00:52:42pink nail with a hand-painted design. But if you don't freehand it, it ends up looking

00:52:46like kind of embarrassing. Oh, excuse me? Who are you? We do what we

00:52:51can with what we have. You're a nail artist? Oh, no. I was just

00:52:55dropping my daughter off at dancing parties. See? Total newbie. How could a hick possibly

00:53:01match my skills? Could you fix her right now on the spot?

00:53:05Oh, sure. Let the random lady play artist. This'll be good. She'll probably screw it up.

00:53:12It's on me. I'll risk it. No, I've never done anything like this before.

00:53:18You had the idea. Why not give it a shot? Come on. Anything's better than the mess they made.

00:53:25Sure. I'll give it a try.

00:53:31Okay. All right. Let's see.

00:53:47All right. There you go. Oh, my God. This is exactly what I wanted. Exactly. You didn't

00:53:55just fix it. You nailed it. This is wedding nails. You have to do my bridesmaids. All of them. Eight

00:54:01girls press on nails would be perfect. This I can't do that. This is just a hobby. I mean,

00:54:06this was luck. Luck doesn't look like this.

00:54:09Mommy!

00:54:13Hi, baby. You're done already?

00:54:18Coach Cora!

00:54:19Wait, you're Judy's mom? Yeah. You know her? Absolutely. I coach the fencing league. She's

00:54:25got a lot of talent. I can't believe she just started. You didn't tell me your mom was also

00:54:30secretly talented. She's gifted. Sharp instincts, fast learner. I really like her. All good.

00:54:36She loves it. If you're willing to do my bridesmaids nails, I'll coach Judy for free. Private sessions, too.

00:54:44And honestly, she should compete. Compete? Yeah. Next week, the Maplewood Invitational. Maplewood

00:54:51Independent hosts it every year. All the top private schools in the district. Mommy, I want to compete.

00:54:57Please! Judy has amazing talent. This fencing competition will have many top coaches. The winner

00:55:03will be scouted. Judy deserves the best stage to shine. Please, please, please, please, please.

00:55:11Okay, I'll try.

00:55:20I'll text you the training schedule. Thank you. Seriously.

00:55:26This is so exciting.

00:55:29All right, let's go.

00:55:40What's Judy doing here? She sucks. She doesn't belong in this club.

00:55:45Maria, you need to stop pushing Judy to do fencing. She's not cut out for this.

00:55:51And Wayne here is way above her league. Remember this? Wayne blamed Judy for taking it.

00:55:58He was actually under his bed the whole time. How can you say that so casually? You made my

00:56:02daughter kneel out in the rain. She got sick as hell. Don't overreact. I just want to make it up

00:56:08to

00:56:08her. We bought a new one. Let her use Wayne's old gloves. No! No way! I wouldn't give this to

00:56:14her

00:56:14even if I threw it in the trash. Not needed. Whatever my daughter wants, I'll fight to make sure she

00:56:19has.

00:56:24Even if she wanted to, no one would teach her. My Wayne's going to be competing in the Maplewood

00:56:30Invitational, being taught by the best in the club, Coach Cora. And you told Maria about the coach.

00:56:37As if that little bastard would have anything to do with Coach Cora. I'm Coach Cora's student. This is my

00:56:45place to

00:56:46learn too. This is my place to learn too. Coach Cora only teaches gifted ones. Stop talking nonsense.

00:56:54And how do you know my daughter isn't one of them? Right, right. A Texas pick. What do you know

00:57:00about

00:57:00fencing? Coach Cora did say there is one particularly talented student, only one month of practice,

00:57:07and yet they're playing like they have them for years. Wow. I wonder who that could be. It must be

00:57:13extraordinary. Talent is all that matters according to Coach Cora. Family, status, none of it matters.

00:57:27Let me in! Stop. What on earth are you doing? Coach Cora, I don't know how these people snuck in

00:57:34here.

00:57:35They're not members of our club. Who said they sneaked in? Judy is my personal student, my closed door

00:57:40protégé. She's the child with the exceptional talent I told you about. Judy is my personal student,

00:57:48my closed door protégé. She's the child with the exceptional talent I told you about.

00:57:55Judy? No way! She's just a loser! And she skipped the beginner class entirely straight into the varsity

00:58:01track. Judy will compete in this tournament and she's ready. Wayne better get ready. There's only one

00:58:07winner this time and that's the only way he'll make it into Maplewood. Maria's daughter? How dare she

00:58:14outshine my son! If she wins, Wayne will never get into Maplewood. No, no, that can't be happening. I have

00:58:21to find a way to stop her from taking the stage.

00:58:33Wow. This is beautiful. Sorry, I didn't hear you coming in. You have a real instinct for this. I mean

00:58:42it.

00:58:44I mean it. You mean these stupid drawings and worthless junk? They don't mean anything.

00:58:58I got something for you.

00:59:11Oh my god.

00:59:14How did you... I've been looking for these for forever.

00:59:18You said they were impossible to find. I don't like impossible.

00:59:49I'm sorry.

00:59:50No, no, no, no, no. Thank you for letting me do that.

00:59:56I've been wanting to do that for a while.

01:00:00Really?

01:00:13Oh my god. I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you? I thought that your legs could...

01:00:17I kind of felt that in my legs. Yeah.

01:00:21Not like pain or anything like that. Just like pressure.

01:00:24Well, that's good. Yeah. That's really good.

01:00:27I'm so sorry.

01:00:31Look, the only reason Levi and I are together is because he needs me taking care of his legs.

01:00:37But now I... I was never acting on impulse. This wasn't a whim.

01:00:43With you, it was love at first sight and everything after that.

01:00:47It's all in my heart.

01:00:49What am I even thinking? If his legs get better, that's what matters most.

01:00:56That might mean that he has to leave me.

01:00:58But her, does she feel anything for me beyond pity, duty or care?

01:01:03Could it be... love?

01:01:11I want to ask you something.

01:01:19Hello?

01:01:20Maria! Oh my god! You won't believe us. Everyone's talking about you.

01:01:24We have dozens of bookings. People were lining up outside all day asking for you.

01:01:31Like waiting for me?

01:01:32They came for you. They all call you the master nail artist now.

01:01:38It sounds like you broke the internet.

01:01:41I mean, I was just trying to help out.

01:01:43Hey, you deserve it. The world's just finding out.

01:01:49I'm jealous a little bit.

01:02:04Mommy! Levi!

01:02:06Judy, what's happening?

01:02:09Judy, what's happening?

01:02:10Today! Today is the competition!

01:02:14I didn't forget. We're going to be there, front row and center, right on time.

01:02:17Okay?

01:02:18Okay. I'm going with Coach Chorus. See you at the venue.

01:02:22Okay. I love you.

01:02:23I love you.

01:02:34Daddy?

01:02:36Judy and Maria are acting completely out of control. I never liked the little brat,

01:02:41but she's still your child, Tristan.

01:02:42Ever since Levi Preston fired you, our family's been living in misery,

01:02:47while Judy and Maria live like royalty because of her new husband. Are you okay with that?

01:02:53You're right!

01:02:54Judy is my child, and Maria belongs to me. I have to get her back.

01:03:01Princess!

01:03:02Daddy, why are you here?

01:03:05I brought you your favorite. Come on.

01:03:08I don't want to. I have a competition.

01:03:11Enough. You're coming with me.

01:03:28Tristan's an idiot.

01:03:29But he's useful when he counts.

01:03:34She'll be here.

01:03:37Maria, I didn't pick Judy up. They said her dad took her.

01:03:48Mom, do not let her go to that competition.

01:03:50I won't let her get to that competition.

01:03:53Wayne needs to win.

01:03:54We don't need this little brat getting in the way.

01:03:56Daddy, Grandma, let me go to the competition.

01:04:01Mom, just listen to her. She's just begging for a beating.

01:04:04I don't want to stay here. Daddy, please, I'm begging you. Take me to the competition, please.

01:04:12You're my daughter. If I tell you you're not going, you're not going. Understand?

01:04:18Good. Right about now, Wayne should be stepping onto the piece.

01:04:22Daddy, what did I do? Why don't you ever love me?

01:04:27I want Levi to be my daddy.

01:04:31Don't you dare say that. You're my daughter. You do what I say.

01:04:39You will never get away from me. And you will never be able to train properly, as long as I'm

01:04:45here.

01:04:54Mommy! Mommy, help me!

01:05:06Let go of my daughter!

01:05:12She's trying to kill us! She's a murderer!

01:05:16Mommy!

01:05:17It's okay, baby.

01:05:18Mommy, Dad trapped me.

01:05:20We have to get to the competition. We're running out of time.

01:05:24Let's go.

01:05:25Judy is my daughter. If I say she stays home, she stays home.

01:05:28Get out of my way now. This is my daughter's chance.

01:05:32And if you try and stand in my way one more time, each one of you is going to pay.

01:05:35Just stay home. I won't blame you for being with another man.

01:05:39Come back to me. I won't treat you like a nanny anymore. They can marry you.

01:05:43I said, get out of my way. Why are you doing this to me?

01:05:47It's the final round. Weighing against Judy. I know Wayne can't beat your bastard, but so what?

01:05:52Judy is Wayne's only competition. If she skips, he wins.

01:05:58Maplewood. Fencing. Those are Wayne's paths. Judy should study. Clean the house. Know her place.

01:06:06Celine and Helen knew. They're a part of this too.

01:06:10Ten minutes. We have ten minutes left. If Judy doesn't arrive now, she's disqualified.

01:06:16Genius idea, Mommy. There's no way Judy and I end up on the same piece.

01:06:20Of course. She'll never stand in your way to Maplewood.

01:06:25Judy ruined me. Now you're going to ruin my daughter?

01:06:28I want you to know exactly what it costs leaving me.

01:06:33Your husband, hmm? Rolling over here in a wheelchair takes time.

01:06:37By the time he gets here, the clock's up. What good is he then?

01:06:44Three minutes. Come on, Judy.

01:06:49Looks like Judy's not going to make it.

01:06:52Money doesn't buy you everything. So what if he's rich? He's still disabled.

01:06:59You know, I'm curious. Can I even still get it up in bed?

01:07:03You know, and just now, I just heard Judy call Levi Dad.

01:07:08No, that won't happen. You two belong to me forever.

01:07:12You shouldn't talk about things you can't measure up to.

01:07:24Stay away from my wife and daughter.

01:07:26You can walk?

01:07:31That's what happens when you mess with my family.

01:07:33Your wife, now that he can walk, do you think he'd still watch you anymore?

01:07:37To him, you're nothing more than a daddy.

01:07:42Daddy, you stood up. I knew you could do it.

01:07:44Okay.

01:07:45Relax.

01:07:46I'll explain later when we get home.

01:07:47All right, hey, we're going to be late for the competition. You ready?

01:07:49Come on, let's go.

01:07:51Nine, eight, seven.

01:07:54Maplewood, here I come.

01:07:55Finally, the win is ours.

01:07:58Come on.

01:08:01Oh, my God!

01:08:08I'm here.

01:08:09Finally.

01:08:10No, she can't be here.

01:08:12Mom, make her go away.

01:08:13All right, everyone.

01:08:14The match is starting.

01:08:21All right, show them what you got, Judy.

01:08:23Here we go.

01:08:23That's my girl.

01:08:24Don't hold back.

01:08:25Come on, baby.

01:08:26You got this.

01:08:29Ready, set, go.

01:08:40Point for Judy.

01:08:48Come here, baby.

01:08:48Come here.

01:08:49Well done.

01:08:50I'm so proud of you, baby.

01:09:00I know, he's so shiny.

01:09:05My little champion.

01:09:08Our little champion.

01:09:09I'm so proud of you, baby.

01:09:12So are you, so your legs just really work now?

01:09:18Yeah.

01:09:19That's crazy.

01:09:22I was afraid to tell you because I was scared that you wouldn't want to take care of me anymore.

01:09:28You mad at me?

01:09:32Now that you can walk, do you think he'd still want you?

01:09:36To him, you're nothing more than him.

01:09:39What rate do I even have to be mad?

01:09:41I'm just his so-called contract wife.

01:09:43Does she really see me as nothing more than a patient?

01:09:47Do you ever...

01:09:50Sorry.

01:09:52Yeah?

01:09:52Boss, the salon you set up for your wife is almost ready.

01:09:55You can come by anytime to check it out.

01:09:57All right, thanks.

01:09:58Bye.

01:09:59Uh, you were gonna say something?

01:10:02Uh, you were gonna say something?

01:10:04Um, look, something just came up.

01:10:06I have to run out really quick.

01:10:07Yeah, go, of course.

01:10:09I'm gonna be back soon.

01:10:10We'll have plenty of time to talk.

01:10:11Okay.

01:10:12Okay?

01:10:12All right.

01:10:17Now that he's not crippled, you think he'd still want you?

01:10:24Mr. Preston, congratulations on your recovery and your company's new expansion.

01:10:29Both have been something we've been...

01:10:30Yeah, he doesn't leave me anymore.

01:10:46What's going on?

01:10:47You and my dreams have upgraded every day.

01:10:56So now that your legs are better, are you gonna get divorced?

01:10:59You don't need me anymore?

01:11:02So now that your legs are better, are you gonna get divorced?

01:11:07You don't need me anymore?

01:11:09Okay, you're overthinking.

01:11:11That's the alcohol.

01:11:11Come on, let's go take a shower.

01:11:14Let's get me cleaned up.

01:11:16I don't want you to...

01:11:19What if I don't want to feel better?

01:11:28I don't know when it started.

01:11:32But I think I really like you.

01:11:37We're gonna make fun.

01:11:40Do you know exactly who you're talking to right now?

01:11:44Do you know exactly who you're talking to right now?

01:11:48Yeah.

01:11:52Hey, hey.

01:11:54You're drunk, okay?

01:11:55We shouldn't do this right now.

01:11:56I don't know if you're not drunk anymore.

01:12:00I don't know if it started.

01:12:02I felt this way for a long time and I was just too afraid to say it.

01:12:07You know, at first I thought it was just a coincidence that I was broken, desperate,

01:12:11and you were just this broken man from everything that you've been through.

01:12:13But then things started to change.

01:12:16You started looking at me differently.

01:12:19Looking at me like I mattered.

01:12:21I want you so bad.

01:12:24I dream about you.

01:12:26But it's also terrifying because...

01:12:28What if this is all just temporary?

01:12:37Oh my God, that was so embarrassing.

01:12:41Hey, look at me.

01:12:45You have no idea.

01:12:47I liked you from the beginning.

01:12:50I just didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to ruin what we had.

01:12:54Screw it.

01:12:55Okay.

01:12:56I love you.

01:12:58Right?

01:12:58I love every part of you.

01:13:00Even the drunk burpee parts.

01:13:03You were my family.

01:13:06Everything I did was for you.

01:13:08All of it.

01:13:21I wanted you so bad.

01:13:24Tell me.

01:13:32I've wanted you for so long.

01:13:35Every inch of me.

01:13:43Tell me what you want.

01:13:45I want to hear you say it.

01:13:48I want you.

01:13:49Yeah.

01:13:50What do you want me to do?

01:13:52I want you inside of me.

01:13:55I want you inside of me.

01:13:59No.

01:14:02Oh, you're killing me.

01:14:10Oh, you're mine.

01:14:12Oh, my.

01:14:14Don't you tell how much I want you?

01:14:17I'm all yours.

01:14:20Oh, you're killing me.

01:14:36Morning.

01:14:38I guess last name wasn't a dream.

01:14:41Best reality check ever.

01:14:50Okay.

01:14:57Yep.

01:14:58Boss, today's the launch event for Maria Salon.

01:15:01Okay.

01:15:05I have a surprise for you.

01:15:08What?

01:15:08Oh, super star nail artist.

01:15:10It's just...
