微电影文字稿
00:00:06Please, God.
00:00:09Let me catch something to feed the family tonight.
00:00:16Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:00:19Come on. Come on.
00:00:25What the heck?
00:00:28Is that gold?
00:00:34What does it say?
00:00:37What does it say?
00:01:00Who?
00:01:02No.
00:01:04What are you?
00:01:05I am known by many names across cities, times and culture.
00:01:09But you probably know me as a genie.
00:01:12I shall grant you three wishes.
00:01:16No, you cannot wish for eternity.
00:01:17And no, you cannot wish for more wishes.
00:01:21Now tell me, mere mortal.
00:01:22What do you wish for?
00:01:26I wish...
00:01:28I wish...
00:01:30I wish...
00:01:31I wish...
00:01:32I wish we had more time.
00:01:34Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:01:36The best doctors in the world are on their way.
00:01:38When you're back on your feet, you better put it.
00:01:40Oh, silly girl.
00:01:42Death is not what scares me.
00:01:45What I'm worried about is who will take care of you after I'm gone.
00:01:50You're not going anywhere.
00:01:52We don't have to worry about that yet.
00:01:54No, but it's alright.
00:01:55I finally found a good husband for...
00:01:59Someone I trust.
00:02:01Yes.
00:02:02Grandpa, I don't need a husband.
00:02:04What I need is for you to live.
00:02:08Oh, darling.
00:02:12You go rest, okay?
00:02:14Grandpa still has some work to do, okay?
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:25Put it down right here.
00:02:28And leave.
00:02:29And don't come back until I call you.
00:02:31Yes, Mr. Perry.
00:02:52Everything I've built...
00:02:54It's thanks to you.
00:02:57I wish...
00:03:00I wish to become rich.
00:03:03Rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:03:06Your wish is my command.
00:03:38Stephen.
00:03:39You were still young and spry last we spoke.
00:03:43Now you have succumbed to time.
00:03:45Have you summoned me to make your last wish?
00:03:50Speak.
00:03:51And our contract will be over.
00:03:54It's been nice knowing you, Stephen Parrish.
00:03:57My third wish is your freedom.
00:04:01No lamp.
00:04:02No chain.
00:04:04No master.
00:04:06You're using your final wish on me.
00:04:08A final request.
00:04:10Speak.
00:04:13I want you to bury my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:04:21Take care of her once I have died for five years.
00:04:28Then you will be free.
00:04:37Your wish is my command.
00:04:39I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
00:04:46And in five years I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:04:56According to Mr. Parrish's will, his entire estate and full control of Parrish Enterprises
00:05:03shall be inherited by his granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:05:07Under one condition.
00:05:09Christine must marry Elijah Barron.
00:05:13Only then will she be granted these rights.
00:05:16Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:33Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:37Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:38Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:40Who's Elijah Barron?
00:05:41This is ridiculous!
00:05:43Why would grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
00:05:47I refuse.
00:05:49I'm sorry, Ms. Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron, your grandfather's inheritance
00:05:54will go to the shareholders.
00:06:00Christine, you can't let your grandfather's estate go to those greedy shareholders.
00:06:05I am sure your grandfather vetted him.
00:06:12Besides, he's easy on the ice.
00:06:24Fine.
00:06:26I'll marry him.
00:06:30I promise from now on, I'll take care of you.
00:06:38Let's get one thing straight.
00:06:40I don't need you to take care of me.
00:06:42I can do that on my own.
00:06:45And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:06:48You're not touching me, and you're definitely not sitting in my bed.
00:06:55Sounds fun.
00:07:05For five years, I've kept my identity hidden.
00:07:08Looking after her, building her career from the shadows.
00:07:11All so Christine could one day stand on her own.
00:07:32How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
00:07:36I'm just doing my job.
00:07:37You hired me as your assistant, and as your husband.
00:07:40Shh.
00:07:41I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
00:07:44Look, I'm already stressed out enough.
00:07:46I have to land this Hiller deal.
00:07:48If you want to help, you can start by getting out.
00:07:52Now!
00:07:56Five years with this woman.
00:07:58It's like her heart is made of ice.
00:08:02Good thing my contract is ending soon.
00:08:07Yes, Senator Johnson.
00:08:08Yes.
00:08:09I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
00:08:11The Hiller deal?
00:08:15As in Adrian Miller?
00:08:20Still has late stage lung cancer.
00:08:22We're doing everything we can, but we're prepared for the worst.
00:08:26Then what the hell are you even good for?
00:08:28Get the hell out!
00:08:29All of you!
00:08:36Who the fuck are you?
00:08:38You're not supposed to be in here.
00:08:39Who I am is not what's important.
00:08:42What's important is I can save your father.
00:08:44You?
00:08:44Save my father?
00:08:45You're not even a doctor, you lunatic.
00:08:48Oh, Peter.
00:08:49Since the doctors already said there's nothing more they can do,
00:08:52maybe we should let them try.
00:08:53Absolutely not, Ruby.
00:08:54Yes.
00:08:55Peter, we're running out of options.
00:08:56We have to at least try something.
00:08:59Please.
00:09:01Save our father.
00:09:02I have to do this by myself.
00:09:04No!
00:09:07Fine.
00:09:09But if you do anything funny, I'll kill you.
00:09:25Wake up, old friend.
00:09:31It's you.
00:09:32The great kid.
00:09:34I haven't seen you since your marriage.
00:09:38Five years ago.
00:09:39I wanted to thank you for looking after the organization while I was away.
00:09:42The Illuminaries.
00:09:45The Illuminaries only exists because of you.
00:09:49They can change countless lives.
00:09:52But my beauty is of all three of my wishes.
00:09:56I am afraid to see it to the line for me.
00:10:02I can break my rules once.
00:10:05Consider it a temporary extension.
00:10:07A few more years.
00:10:09You would do that for me?
00:10:10Under one condition.
00:10:12The Hiller Group is to give Christine Parrish, my wife, the contract.
00:10:17That's no problem at all.
00:10:19Good.
00:10:50I want to thank you.
00:10:52H & Hi.
00:10:53Remember your promise.
00:10:55What?
00:10:56Yeah.
00:10:57He's healed.
00:11:00Ruby!
00:11:01Ruby!
00:11:05He did it!
00:11:06He did...
00:11:08I can't hit this!
00:11:09Yes, you too.
00:11:20There you go.
00:11:26What the hell?
00:11:29Mr. Baron, here is your custom ordered necklace.
00:11:33Your wife is a very lucky woman.
00:11:36Thank you. I hope she likes it.
00:11:39Look after her for five years.
00:11:42After five years, you will be free.
00:11:46In four days it will be Christine's birthday.
00:11:49And the day my mission ends.
00:11:50Christine, when you realize I'm no longer beside you, will you even miss me? Even a little?
00:11:56Happy early birthday, bestie!
00:11:59I can't believe you're turning 30 soon.
00:12:01Why are we celebrating early again?
00:12:03Because Christine's mom has the same birthday as her, and she's going to throw her mom a huge birthday party.
00:12:09I just don't want to steal her thunder.
00:12:11She's turning 50 this year. It's a big year for her.
00:12:26Christine?
00:12:28I remember college like it was yesterday. You were cheer captain and dating Tony, the star quarterback.
00:12:35Now look at us. Married, with jobs.
00:12:39Boring.
00:12:40Ugh, yeah.
00:12:41Honestly, if Tony hadn't dumped you for the NFL, you wouldn't have settled for that loser, Elijah.
00:12:47Oh, come on. That was ages ago.
00:12:49Please, we all know you're still not over him.
00:12:52Hey.
00:12:54If he asked to take you back, what would you say?
00:12:57Well, I'm married now.
00:12:59Besides, that was like a decade ago.
00:13:05Hey.
00:13:07I didn't know you were having a party.
00:13:10I got you a gift.
00:13:13Happy birthday.
00:13:16Seriously?
00:13:17This little thing is all you got her for her 30th birthday?
00:13:21Ugh, looks like he grabbed it out of a Target.
00:13:23Oh!
00:13:27Thanks.
00:13:28What is it?
00:13:29Open it.
00:13:30You'll find out.
00:13:34Tony?
00:13:48Surprise!
00:13:51We invited him just for you, honeymoon, boo!
00:13:56Hey, sexy.
00:13:58Happy birthday.
00:13:59Come here.
00:14:00Oh!
00:14:01Oh!
00:14:02Oh!
00:14:04Oh!
00:14:07Is that Tony Roth?
00:14:08Didn't he just win the Super Bowl like two years ago?
00:14:11He did.
00:14:12Oh, my.
00:14:13He saw her in person.
00:14:15I didn't know Christina's friends with him.
00:14:17Oh, not just friends.
00:14:19They used to date.
00:14:22I got you a gift.
00:14:27Oh, my God.
00:14:28That's so gorgeous.
00:14:29Put it on her.
00:14:34Come on.
00:14:34Let me put it on for you.
00:14:38Uh...
00:14:50Stacy also told me that you were having issues with the Helen Group contract.
00:14:54I can help you with that.
00:14:57Thank you, Tony, but...
00:14:59I think I can handle it.
00:15:01Of course, babe.
00:15:02You know, I just want to help.
00:15:03Since your husband's obviously pretty useless.
00:15:06Aww.
00:15:07Look, they're kind of cute together.
00:15:09Even though Christina's married to that random.
00:15:12See?
00:15:13That's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife.
00:15:20Oops.
00:15:21That was an accident.
00:15:23Sorry.
00:15:28I took care of you.
00:15:30And loved you for five years, Christine.
00:15:33But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:15:39You must be the assistant slash husband.
00:15:43And Tony Roth.
00:15:47We'll have to.
00:15:51We'll have to.
00:15:54That was rude.
00:15:59Four more days until the contract ends.
00:16:02I'll be out of her life for good.
00:16:04Just like she's always wanted.
00:16:11Christine, our company's stock is tanking.
00:16:14We need the Hiller contract.
00:16:17I know, Mom.
00:16:18God.
00:16:19Figure something out.
00:16:22Your ex Tony is golfing buddies with Peter Hiller.
00:16:25Maybe you can get a meeting with him.
00:16:27He could help us land the contract.
00:16:29Mom, the Hiller Corp is the biggest company in the nation.
00:16:32Just because I get an introduction, doesn't mean we're going to land it.
00:16:38Fine.
00:16:38I'll ask him.
00:16:43You need to ask Tony.
00:16:46I took care of it.
00:16:48The Hillers are going to give you the contract and they're going to invest in your company too.
00:16:51You already took care of it, Elijah.
00:16:53How did you possibly already take care of it?
00:16:56Please don't be ridiculous.
00:16:57Exactly.
00:16:57What do you know about business?
00:16:59Your glorified help.
00:17:01I was just stating the facts.
00:17:02No, Elijah.
00:17:04You just don't get it.
00:17:06Just...
00:17:06Besides, Tony's going to be here in a little bit.
00:17:09Please don't make a fool out of yourself.
00:17:11You were incredibly rude last time.
00:17:13Because he put his hands all over my wife.
00:17:15So you're jealous and now you're lying.
00:17:19I just cannot deal with this right now.
00:17:23Come on, drive me to the salon.
00:17:25I have to get a perm for my big day.
00:17:28Don't you dare make me late.
00:17:47Don't see them.
00:17:48What are you standing there for?
00:17:50Hurry up and drive me to the salon.
00:18:09I've spent half a decade taking care of those blue roses.
00:18:13It's finally bloomed.
00:18:16I'm about to leave, but...
00:18:17I wish you'll always have fresh flowers.
00:18:27Your favorite dish.
00:18:29This might be the last time I ever make it for you.
00:18:35Only three days left till the five year mark.
00:18:38I hope she'll adjust to life without me, alright?
00:18:47I hope she'll adjust to life without me, alright?
00:19:11I hope she'll adjust to life without me.
00:19:11Hey, listen.
00:19:12I'll have to chase my football dreams, but I never forgot about you.
00:19:16Not for a second.
00:19:17Listen, now that I'm finally retired, I haven't stayed by your side.
00:19:24What?
00:19:25I, uh, thank you for saying that.
00:19:29I'm...
00:19:30I'm already married.
00:19:34Okay...
00:19:36So...
00:19:37What, you're gonna waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward again?
00:19:41What?
00:19:46He's...
00:19:47Actually really good to me.
00:19:49Come on, Christine, you're way too nice.
00:19:52Even if you treat too well, you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness for him.
00:20:00Divorce him.
00:20:02Be free.
00:20:12This is me.
00:20:15That's for the Heller thing.
00:20:17Thanks again.
00:20:18You're welcome.
00:20:37One day?
00:20:40Dinner's gone cold, but go take a bath and I'll reheat it for you.
00:20:45That's okay.
00:20:46I already ate.
00:20:58Elijah, please stop getting these hideous artificial flowers.
00:21:02Hideous and artificial?
00:21:05I planted these for her by hand.
00:21:07Got it.
00:21:08You should go wash up.
00:21:19Got it.
00:21:22You should go wash up.
00:21:24Die.
00:21:29Die.
00:21:31Die.
00:21:37Die.
00:21:43Die.
00:21:51My wife of five years just called out another man's name while she came.
00:22:06Elisha, what are you doing?
00:22:12Where are you at home?
00:22:22She still hasn't acknowledged the gift I got her. She probably never will.
00:22:38Oh!
00:22:58Careful.
00:23:02Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:23:06You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:23:08Aren't you going to say anything?
00:23:13No matter how much I ignore you or reject you, you just won't leave.
00:23:17Why?
00:23:19It's been five years. Don't you get it by now?
00:23:22I should be able to choose who I love, so no matter what you do, I'm never ever going to
00:23:27love you.
00:23:29I don't need your love, Christine.
00:23:32I made a promise to your grandfather, and I intend to keep it.
00:23:35Yeah, you keep saying that, but you want to know what I think?
00:23:39I think you're just trying to leech off my family, so you don't have to work.
00:23:44You pretend to love me, but in reality, you're just in it for the money.
00:23:51That's why when I call out another guy's name, you don't even react.
00:23:55Christine, if you have taken even a second to look at everything I've done for you the past five years,
00:24:00you'd know that's not true.
00:24:01I know you want me gone. Give it a few days, maybe your wish will come true.
00:24:10Hey, Peter, it's me, Tony. I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:24:14We already decided on a partner, so don't call me about this again.
00:24:19You've found someone already?
00:24:21Someone who has done the family an enormous favor, so drop it.
00:24:25Wait, wait.
00:24:27As he is ordered, this contract must go directly to Christine. Failure is not an option.
00:24:35I'll get it done.
00:24:44Mr. Hiller, this is so unexpected. What can I do for you?
00:24:48I know your company has been bidding for our project. I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:24:53Yes, it's not finished yet, but I have a proposal.
00:24:57No need. I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:25:01Really? You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:25:05Nope. We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:25:07I'm excited to see Paris sort of the next level.
00:25:10Really?
00:25:13Thank you so much, Mr. Hiller. I don't know what to say.
00:25:16Don't thank me. I think the great men have been backing you.
00:25:20The great men backing me?
00:25:22Don't worry, I'll contact the others later about giving you the contract.
00:25:25It must be Tony. How he really came through for me.
00:25:34Tony!
00:25:34Hey, babe.
00:25:35Thank you so much for your help. We got the Hiller contract.
00:25:39What? I couldn't even bring it up with Peter, but Christine still managed to get the contract?
00:25:44Oh, whatever. I guess it worked out.
00:25:47Yeah, of course, babe.
00:25:50You mean so much to me, and Peter's my butt. How can I not help?
00:25:53Where are you right now? I'd like to thank you in person.
00:25:57Alright, I'll be right over.
00:26:09Elijah? Can you take me to Maple Hotel? I have a work thing.
00:26:13Okay.
00:26:25No need to wait for me. I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
00:26:28Oh, cool.
00:26:49Christine.
00:26:50Come in.
00:27:01Peter personally came by the office and handed me the contract.
00:27:05Just want to say thank you. I don't think it would have been so smooth if it wasn't for you,
00:27:09Tony.
00:27:09I told you I'd do anything for you. It's not bad.
00:27:23Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
00:27:25Oh, my gosh.
00:27:27I'm so sorry.
00:27:28I told you.
00:27:30It's okay. It's okay.
00:27:41It's okay.
00:27:59Your wife's got a killer pod.
00:28:01I'm gonna save her every inch of it.
00:28:20I still like seeing you only in a rope.
00:28:23You still remember our island vacation? Just the two of us on the beach?
00:28:26That was, um, a beautiful memory.
00:28:33But, uh...
00:28:34Christine, you must be exhausted.
00:28:36Running Parish Enterprise is all on your own.
00:28:38Do you still need to suffer like this?
00:28:41My grandpa left me this company.
00:28:44So no matter how hard it gets, I'm not going to give up.
00:28:46My help isn't limited to the other contract.
00:28:49If you want to start over with me, I can help you shoulder so much more.
00:28:54Tony, now's not the time for that.
00:28:56Didn't you say you were grateful to me?
00:29:00Why can't we just start over?
00:29:03Because I'm already married.
00:29:05To Elijah, that spineless goof who's only good for cooking your meals and obeying your every order.
00:29:14Christine, you're not fooling anyone.
00:29:18You still.
00:29:21I'm gonna show you what a real man's like.
00:29:24Tony, no!
00:29:25Don't!
00:29:26Wait! Get off of me!
00:29:27Tony!
00:29:28Don't!
00:29:29Wait, Tony!
00:29:33Wait!
00:29:33Wait, Tony!
00:29:36Get your hands off my wife!
00:29:41Who the fuck you think you are?
00:29:43I'm just a man protecting his wife.
00:29:51Elijah!
00:29:53Elijah!
00:29:53You're killing him!
00:29:55Elijah, let go!
00:29:56I sent you!
00:29:57Let him go!
00:29:58Elijah!
00:30:01Apologize to Tony!
00:30:03He was just assaulting you.
00:30:04You want me to apologize?
00:30:05Nothing happened.
00:30:06You almost killed him.
00:30:07You overreacted.
00:30:09Nothing happened?
00:30:11Clearly he was gonna do something to you.
00:30:13Oh my god, you're paranoid.
00:30:14I don't need your reckless protection.
00:30:18I am your husband.
00:30:20It is my job to protect you.
00:30:22As my wife, you shouldn't put yourself in situations like this.
00:30:27I was forced to marry you.
00:30:29Remember?
00:30:31I never wanted you as my husband.
00:30:36Five years and she still doesn't love you.
00:30:39She never will.
00:30:43So do you love him?
00:30:44No.
00:31:00Christine, I'm sorry if I rushed you but not you.
00:31:02I think we need to cool off a bit.
00:31:15Look.
00:31:16I'm sorry.
00:31:18I hate you, okay?
00:31:19I lost my cool.
00:31:20But you shouldn't have barged in and attacked Tony either.
00:31:27Okay, the silent treatment.
00:31:30Everything I'm doing is for the company.
00:31:33And for this family.
00:31:34If I lose that Hiller contract because of you,
00:31:37I'll never be able to forgive you.
00:31:40Do you really believe in your heart of hearts
00:31:43that Tony was the one who got you the Hiller contract?
00:31:47Yes!
00:31:49Who else?
00:31:52You?
00:31:53Yes.
00:31:55Yes, Christine.
00:31:56You got the Hiller contract because of me.
00:31:58Elijah, don't be ridiculous.
00:32:01You're basically a house husband.
00:32:03How on earth would you know the Hillers?
00:32:06It's bad enough that I shoulder everything at work.
00:32:09Please, don't go spreading lies too.
00:32:11Lies?
00:32:13Christine, I haven't told you one lie in the five years
00:32:15that we've been together.
00:32:16Not one.
00:32:18Okay, look.
00:32:19I know that you're jealous of Tony.
00:32:22But the fact is,
00:32:23he landed me that contract.
00:32:25He granted my wish.
00:32:26I would never have asked him to help me out
00:32:29if I really thought you could do it.
00:32:32I have been carrying Parish Enterprises since Grandpa died,
00:32:35all on my own.
00:32:37Please, tell me what you've done.
00:32:39In these five years,
00:32:41do you really believe that you would have gotten to where you are
00:32:44without me?
00:32:46I mean, besides scheduling my life and picking up after me,
00:32:55I could hire a maid to do your job.
00:33:03You think a maid could do my job?
00:33:06Yes.
00:33:08Elisha, I need a real man.
00:33:11One that I can rely on,
00:33:12not someone who just cooks and cleans and picks up after me.
00:33:16Everything that you do for me just makes me hate you more.
00:33:30I see.
00:33:37Then let's get a divorce.
00:34:01I'm going.
00:34:02Please God,
00:34:04let me catch something to feed the family tonight.
00:34:11Come on, come on, come on.
00:34:19What the heck?
00:34:22Is that gold?
00:34:29What does it say?
00:34:58No. What are you?
00:35:00I am known by many names across cities, times and culture.
00:35:04But you probably know me as a genie.
00:35:07I shall grant you three wishes.
00:35:10No, you cannot wish for eternity.
00:35:12And no, you cannot wish for more wishes.
00:35:15Now tell me, mere mortal.
00:35:17What do you wish for?
00:35:21I wish...
00:35:24I wish...
00:35:24I wish...
00:35:26I wish we had more time.
00:35:28Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:35:30The best doctors in the world are on their way.
00:35:33Put your back on your feet and put your foot.
00:35:34Oh, silly girl.
00:35:36Death is not what scares me.
00:35:39What I'm worried about is who will take care of you after I'm gone.
00:35:45You're not going anywhere.
00:35:46And we don't have to worry about that yet.
00:35:48No, but it's alright.
00:35:50I finally found a good husband for...
00:35:53Someone I trust.
00:35:56Yes.
00:35:56Grandpa, I don't need a husband.
00:35:59What I need is for you to live.
00:36:03Oh, darling.
00:36:07You go rest, okay?
00:36:09Grandpa still has some work to do, okay?
00:36:19Put it down right here.
00:36:22And leave.
00:36:23And don't come back until I call you.
00:36:25Yes, Mr. Perry.
00:36:46Everything I've built is thanks to you.
00:36:51I wish...
00:36:54I wish to become rich.
00:36:57I'm rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:37:00Your wish is my command.
00:37:03The end.
00:37:04The end.
00:37:08The end.
00:37:13The end.
00:37:33Steven, you were still young and spry last we spoke.
00:37:37Now you have succumbed to time.
00:37:40Have you summoned me to make your last wish?
00:37:45Speak, and our contract will be over.
00:37:48It's been nice knowing you, Steven Parrish.
00:37:52My third wish is your freedom.
00:37:56No lamp, no chain, no master.
00:38:00You're using your final wish on me.
00:38:03A final request.
00:38:05Speak.
00:38:07I want you to marry my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:38:16Take care of her.
00:38:18Once I have died for five years, then you will be free.
00:38:31Your wish is my command.
00:38:34I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
00:38:40And in five years, I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:38:50According to Mr. Parrish's will, his entire estate and full control of Parrish Enterprises shall be inherited by his granddaughter,
00:39:00Christine Parrish.
00:39:01Under one condition, Christine must marry Elijah Barron.
00:39:07Who are we then?
00:39:08Will she be granted these rights?
00:39:11Who's Elijah Barron?
00:39:27Miss Parrish, I'm Elijah Barron, your future husband.
00:39:35This is ridiculous. Why would grandpa force me to marry a stranger? I refuse.
00:39:44I'm sorry Miss Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron, your grandfather's inheritance will go to the shareholders.
00:39:54Christine, you can't let your grandfather's estate go to those greedy shareholders.
00:40:00I am sure your grandfather vetted him. Besides, he's easy on the ice.
00:40:18Fine. I'll marry him.
00:40:25I promise from now on, I'll take care of you.
00:40:33Let's get one thing straight. I don't need you to take care of me. I can do that on my
00:40:38own.
00:40:39And just cause we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:40:43You're not touching me, and you're definitely not sitting in my bed.
00:40:50Sounds fun.
00:40:59For five years, I've kept my identity hidden. Looking after her, building her career from the shadows.
00:41:06All so Christine could one day stand on her own.
00:41:27How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
00:41:30I'm just doing my job. You hired me as your assistant and as your husband.
00:41:35Shh. I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
00:41:39Look, I'm already stressed out enough. I have to land this Hiller deal.
00:41:43If you want to help, you can start by getting out.
00:41:46Now!
00:41:51Five years with this woman. It's like her heart is made of ice.
00:41:57Good thing my contract is ending soon.
00:42:01Yes, Senator Johnson. Yes. I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
00:42:06The Hiller deal?
00:42:10As in Adrian Hiller?
00:42:14Still has late stage lung cancer.
00:42:17We're doing everything we can, but prepare for the worst.
00:42:20Then what the hell are you even good for?
00:42:22Get the hell out! All of you!
00:42:31Who the fuck are you? You're not supposed to be in here.
00:42:34Who I am is not what's important.
00:42:36What's important is I can save your father.
00:42:38You? Save my father? You're not even a doctor, you lunatic.
00:42:42Peter, since the doctor's already said there's nothing more they can do,
00:42:46maybe we should let him try.
00:42:48Absolutely not, Ruby.
00:42:49Yes. Peter, we're running out of options.
00:42:51We have to at least try something.
00:42:54Please.
00:42:55Save our father.
00:42:57I have to do this by myself.
00:42:59No!
00:43:01Fine.
00:43:03But if you do anything funny, I'll kill you.
00:43:20Wake up, old friend.
00:43:25It's you, the great Jind.
00:43:28I haven't seen you since your marriage, five years ago.
00:43:33I wanted to thank you for looking after the organization while I was away.
00:43:37The Illuminaries only exist because of you.
00:43:44Saves can change countless lives.
00:43:47But my views have all three of my wishes.
00:43:51I am afraid it's the end of the line for me.
00:43:57I can break my rules once.
00:43:59Consider it a temporary extension.
00:44:02A few more years.
00:44:03You would do that for me?
00:44:05Under one condition.
00:44:07The Hiller Group is to give Christine Parrish, my wife, the contract.
00:44:11That's no problem at all.
00:44:14Good.
00:44:24Good.
00:44:32Good.
00:44:47Remember your promise.
00:44:50Good.
00:44:52Good.
00:44:53This is you.
00:44:58You did it.
00:45:01He did it.
00:45:02And, oh yes, yes.
00:45:13Thank god.
00:45:16What?
00:45:21What the hell?
00:45:23Mr. Baron, here is your custom-ordered necklace.
00:45:28Your wife is a very lucky woman.
00:45:31Thank you. I hope she likes it.
00:45:34Look after her for five years.
00:45:37After five years, you will be free.
00:45:41In four days, it'll be Christine's birthday, and the day my mission ends.
00:45:45Christine, when you realize I'm no longer beside you, will you even miss me? Even a little?
00:45:51Happy early birthday, bestie!
00:45:53I can't believe you're turning 30 soon.
00:45:56Why are we celebrating early again?
00:45:58Because Christine's mom has the same birthday as her, and she's going to throw her mom a huge birthday party.
00:46:03I just don't want to steal her thunder.
00:46:05She's turning 50 this year. It's a big year for her.
00:46:21Christine, I remember college like it was yesterday.
00:46:25You were cheer captain and dating Tony, the star quarterback.
00:46:29Now look at us. Married, with jobs.
00:46:33Boring.
00:46:35Honestly, if Tony hadn't dumped you for the NFL, you wouldn't have settled for that loser, Elijah.
00:46:41Oh, come on. That was ages ago.
00:46:43Please.
00:46:44We all know you're still not over him.
00:46:47Hey.
00:46:48If he asked to take you back, what would you say?
00:46:52Well, I'm married now.
00:46:54Besides, that was like a decade ago.
00:47:00Hey.
00:47:02I didn't know you were having a party.
00:47:05I got you a gift.
00:47:07Happy birthday.
00:47:11Seriously?
00:47:11This little thing is all you got her for her 30th birthday?
00:47:15Ugh, looks like it grabbed it out of a Target.
00:47:18What the?
00:47:21Thanks.
00:47:22What is it?
00:47:23Open it.
00:47:24You'll find out.
00:47:28Hey.
00:47:30Woo!
00:47:31Hey!
00:47:32Woo!
00:47:42Tony?
00:47:44Surprise!
00:47:46We invited him just for you, honeymoon, boo!
00:47:51Hey, sexy.
00:47:52Happy birthday.
00:47:54Come here.
00:48:02Is that Tony Roth?
00:48:03Didn't he just win the Super Bowl like two years ago?
00:48:05He did.
00:48:06Oh my, he's hotter in person.
00:48:09I didn't know Christina's friends with him.
00:48:12Oh, not just friends.
00:48:13They used to date.
00:48:17I got you a gift.
00:48:21Oh my God, that's so gorgeous.
00:48:24Put it on her.
00:48:28Come on, let me put it on for you.
00:48:32All right.
00:48:33All right.
00:48:44Stacy Wilson told me that you were having issues with the Heller Group contract.
00:48:49I can help you with that.
00:48:52And thank you, Tony, but I think I can handle it.
00:48:56Of course, babe.
00:48:57You know, I just want to help since your husband's obviously pretty useless.
00:49:00Aw, look.
00:49:02They're kind of cute together.
00:49:03Even though Christina's married to that random.
00:49:06See?
00:49:07That's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife.
00:49:15Oops.
00:49:16That was an accident.
00:49:18Sorry.
00:49:23I took care of you and loved you for five years, Christine.
00:49:28But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:49:34You must be the assistant slash husband.
00:49:37I'm Tony Roth.
00:49:42I'll have to.
00:49:46Elijah.
00:49:48That was rude.
00:49:53Four more days until the contract ends.
00:49:56I'll be out of her life for good.
00:49:58Just like she's always wanted.
00:50:05Christine, our company stock is tanking.
00:50:09We need the Heller contract.
00:50:11I know, Mom.
00:50:13Come.
00:50:13Figure something out.
00:50:16Your ex-Tony is golfing buddy to Peter Hiller.
00:50:20Maybe you can get a meeting with him.
00:50:21He could help us land the contract.
00:50:23Mom, the Hiller Corp. is the biggest company in the nation.
00:50:27Just because I get an introduction doesn't mean we're going to land it.
00:50:32Fine, I'll ask him.
00:50:37You need to ask, Tony.
00:50:41I took care of it.
00:50:42The whores are going to give you the contract and they're going to invest in your company too.
00:50:46You already took care of it, Elijah.
00:50:47How did you possibly already take care of it?
00:50:50Please don't be ridiculous.
00:50:51Exactly.
00:50:52What do you know about business?
00:50:53Your glorified help.
00:50:55I was just stating the facts.
00:50:57No, Elijah.
00:50:58You just don't get it.
00:51:01Just...
00:51:01Besides, Tony's going to be here in a little bit.
00:51:04Please don't make a fool out of yourself.
00:51:06You were incredibly worried last time.
00:51:08Because he put his hands all over my wife.
00:51:10So you're jealous and now you're lying.
00:51:14I just cannot deal with this right now.
00:51:18Come on, drive me to the salon.
00:51:20I have to get a perm for my big day.
00:51:22Don't you dare make me late.
00:51:41I don't see them.
00:51:43What are you standing there for?
00:51:44Hurry up and drive me to the salon.
00:52:04I spent half a decade taking care of those blue roses.
00:52:08It's finally bloomed.
00:52:10I'm about to leave, but...
00:52:12I wish you'll always have fresh flowers.
00:52:22Your favorite dish.
00:52:23This might be the last time I ever make it for you.
00:52:29Only three days left to the five-year mark.
00:52:32I hope she'll adjust to life without me, alright?
00:52:54Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:52:57Thank you, Tony.
00:52:58I really appreciate it.
00:53:01Don't need a thank.
00:53:05Hey, listen.
00:53:07I love to chase my football dreams, but I never forgot about you.
00:53:10Not for a second.
00:53:11Listen, now that I'm finally retiring, stay by your side.
00:53:19I'm sorry.
00:53:20I thank you for saying that.
00:53:24I'm...
00:53:24I'm already married.
00:53:29okay so what you're gonna waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward again

00:56:01What are you doing?
00:56:06Throw you a towel.
00:56:17She still hasn't acknowledged the gift I got her.
00:56:20She probably never will.
00:56:33Oh!
00:56:53Careful.
00:56:57Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:57:00You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:57:03Aren't you going to say anything?
00:57:07No matter how much I ignore you or reject you, you just won't leave.
00:57:12Why?
00:57:13It's been five years. Don't you get it by now?
00:57:17I should be able to choose who I love.
00:57:19So no matter what you do, I'm never ever going to love you.
00:57:23I don't need your love, Christine.
00:57:26I made a promise to your grandfather and I intend to keep it.
00:57:29Yeah, you keep saying that.
00:57:31But you want to know what I think?
00:57:33I think you're just trying to leech off my family.
00:57:36So you don't have to work.
00:57:39You pretend to love me, but in reality, you're just in it for the money.
00:57:45That's why when I call out another guy's name, you don't even react.
00:57:50Christine, if you have taken even a second to look at everything I've done for you the past five years,
00:57:55you'd know that's not true.
00:57:56I know you want me gone.
00:57:58Give it a few days, maybe your wish will come true.
00:58:04Hey Peter, it's me, Tony.
00:58:06I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:58:09We already decided on a partner.
00:58:11So don't call me about this again.
00:58:13You've found someone already?
00:58:15Yeah.
00:58:15Someone who has done the family an enormous favor.
00:58:18So drop it.
00:58:19Wait, wait.
00:58:22As he is ordered, this contract must go directly to Christine.
00:58:26Failure is not an option.
00:58:30I'll get it done.
00:58:39Mr. Hiller.
00:58:41This is so unexpected.
00:58:42What can I do for you?
00:58:43I know your company has been bidding for our project.
00:58:46I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:58:47Yes.
00:58:48It's not finished yet, but I have a proposal.
00:58:52No need.
00:58:53I'm just here to answer the contract.
00:58:56Really?
00:58:56You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:58:59Nope.
00:59:00We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:59:02I'm excited to see Paris sort of next level.
00:59:04Really?
00:59:07Thank you so much, Mr. Hiller.
00:59:09I don't know what to say.
00:59:11Don't thank me.
00:59:11I think the great manager backing you.
00:59:15The great man backing me.
00:59:17Don't worry.
00:59:17I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:59:20It must be Tony.
00:59:22Wow, he really came through for me.
00:59:28Tony.
00:59:29Hey, babe.
00:59:30Thank you so much for your help.
00:59:31We got the Hiller contract.
00:59:33What?
00:59:34I couldn't even bring it up with Peter, but Christine still managed to get the contract?
00:59:39Oh, whatever.
00:59:39I guess it worked out.
00:59:41Yeah, of course, babe.
00:59:44You mean so much to me.
00:59:46And Peter's my butt.
00:59:46How can I not help?
00:59:48Where are you right now?
00:59:49I'd like to thank you in person.
00:59:51All right.
00:59:52I'll be right over.
01:00:02Elijah?
01:00:04Can you take me to Maple Hotel?
01:00:05Well, I have a work thing.
01:00:07Okay.
01:00:19No need to wait for me.
01:00:21I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
01:00:43Christine.
01:00:45Come in.
01:00:56Peter personally came by the office and handed me the contract.
01:00:59Just want to say thank you.
01:01:00I don't think it would have been so smooth if it wasn't for you, Tony.
01:01:04I told you I'd do anything for you.
01:01:05It's not bad.
01:01:18Oh, my God.
01:01:19I'm so sorry.
01:01:20Oh, my God.
01:01:21I'm so sorry.
01:01:23Oh, my God.
01:01:24Let me get this.
01:01:24Let me get this.
01:01:25It's okay.
01:01:25It's okay.
01:01:53You're welcome.
01:01:54Your wife's got a killer pod.
01:01:55I'm gonna save her every inch of it.
01:02:15I still like seeing you only in a robe.
01:02:17You still remember our island vacation?
01:02:19Just the two of us on the beach?
01:02:21That was, um, a beautiful memory.
01:02:27But, uh...
01:02:28Christine, you must be exhausted.
01:02:31Running Parish Enterprise is all on your own.
01:02:33Do you still need to suffer like this?
01:02:36My grandpa left me this company.
01:02:38So no matter how hard it gets, I'm not gonna give up.
01:02:41My help isn't limited to the other contract.
01:02:44If you want to start over with me, I can help you shoulder so much more.
01:02:49Tony, now's not the time for that.
01:02:51Well, didn't you say you were grateful to me?
01:02:55Why can't we just start over?
01:02:58Because I'm already married.
01:03:00To Elijah, that spineless goof who's only good for cooking your meals and obeying your every order.
01:03:09Christine, you're not fooling anyone.
01:03:12You still.
01:03:16I'm gonna show you what a real man's like.
01:03:18Tony, no.
01:03:20Don't.
01:03:20Wait!
01:03:21Get off of me!
01:03:22Tony!
01:03:23Don't!
01:03:24Wait!
01:03:24Tony!
01:03:27Wait!
01:03:28Tony!
01:03:31Get your hands off my wife!
01:03:35Who the fuck do you think you are?
01:03:37I'm just a man protecting his wife.
01:03:46Elijah!
01:03:47Elijah!
01:03:48Elijah!
01:03:48You're killing him!
01:03:49Elijah, let go!
01:03:50I said to him!
01:03:52Let him!
01:03:52Go!
01:03:56Apologize to Tony!
01:03:58He was just assaulting you.
01:03:59You want me to apologize?
01:04:00Nothing happened!
01:04:01You almost killed him!
01:04:02You overreacted!
01:04:04Nothing happened?
01:04:06Clearly he was gonna do something to you!
01:04:07Oh my god, you're paranoid!
01:04:09I don't need your reckless protection!
01:04:12I am your husband.
01:04:14It is my job to protect you.
01:04:16As my wife, you shouldn't put yourself in situations like this.
01:04:21I was forced to marry you, remember?
01:04:25I never wanted you as my husband.
01:04:30Five years and she still doesn't love you.
01:04:33She never will.
01:04:38So do you love him?
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:55Christine, I'm sorry if I rushed you at night.
01:04:57I think we need a cooler for a bit.
01:05:10Look, I'm sorry.
01:05:12I hate you, okay?
01:05:14I lost my cool.
01:05:15But you shouldn't have barged in and attacked Tony either.
01:05:21Okay, the silo treatment.
01:05:24Everything I'm doing is for the company.
01:05:27And for this family.
01:05:29If I lose that Hiller contract because of you,
01:05:31I'll never be able to forgive you.
01:05:34Do you really believe in your heart of hearts
01:05:37that Tony was the one who got you the Hiller contract?
01:05:42Yes!
01:05:43Who else?
01:05:47You?
01:05:48Yes.
01:05:49Yes, Christine.
01:05:50You got the Hiller contract because of me.
01:05:53Elijah, don't be ridiculous.
01:05:56You're basically a house husband.
01:05:58How on earth would you know the Hillers?
01:06:00It's bad enough that I shoulder everything at work.
01:06:04Please, don't go spreading lies too.
01:06:06Lies?
01:06:08Christine, I haven't told you one lie
01:06:09in the five years that we've been together.
01:06:11Not one.
01:06:12Okay, look.
01:06:13I know that you're jealous of Tony.
01:06:16But the fact is,
01:06:18he landed me that contract.
01:06:19He granted my wish.
01:06:21I would never have asked him to help me out
01:06:24if I really thought you could do it.
01:06:26I have been carrying Parish Enterprises
01:06:29since Grandpa died, all on my own.
01:06:31Please, tell me what you've done.
01:06:34In these five years,
01:06:35do you really believe that you would have gotten
01:06:38to where you are without me?
01:06:41I mean, besides scheduling my life
01:06:43and picking up after me,
01:06:49I could hire a maid to do your job.
01:06:57You think a maid
01:06:59could do my job?
01:07:00Yes.
01:07:02Elisha, I need a real man.
01:07:05One that I can rely on,
01:07:07not someone who just cooks and cleans
01:07:08and picks up after me.
01:07:10Everything that you do for me
01:07:11just makes me hate you more.
01:07:26I see.
01:07:31Then let's get a divorce.
01:07:42Then let's get a divorce.
