Transcript
00:00:02I was forced to marry you.
00:00:04I never wanted you as my husband.
00:00:06You're just a useless freeloader.
00:00:09Christine, our company's stock is tanking.
00:00:12We need the Hiller contract.
00:00:15I know, Mom.
00:00:16God, I'll figure something out.
00:00:18I took care of it.
00:00:19The Hillers are going to give you the contract.
00:00:20Please don't be ridiculous.
00:00:21No need.
00:00:22I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:00:25Really?
00:00:26You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:00:29Nope.
00:00:29We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:00:31I think the great manager is backing you.
00:00:33It must be Tony.
00:00:34Get your hands off my wife!
00:00:37Elijah!
00:00:38You're killing him!
00:00:39Apologize to Tony!
00:00:41I think you're just trying to leech off my family.
00:00:43You're just in it for the money.
00:00:45I took care of you and loved you for five years, Christine.
00:00:48But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:00:50I was forced to marry you.
00:00:52I never wanted you as my husband.
00:00:54Let's get a divorce.
00:00:57Great shaving hands.
00:00:59Please instruct us.
00:01:01Elijah, watch out!
00:01:03I'm a genie who has lived for thousands of years.
00:01:07I have granted countless wishes and watched countless people grow old and die.
00:01:13I shall grant you three wishes.
00:01:15People always hope and beg me to make them rich.
00:01:18I wish...
00:01:19And Stephen Parrish was no exception.
00:01:21I wish to become rich.
00:01:23Rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:01:28With his first two wishes, he built an empire.
00:01:31But he kept his final wish locked in this chest until the last day of his life.
00:01:37My third wish is your freedom.
00:01:43No lamp, no chain, no master.
00:01:46You're using your final wish on me.
00:01:49I have not forgotten my promise many years ago.
00:01:54I think about it often.
00:01:56I have served hundreds of humans.
00:01:59Kings.
00:02:01Noblemen.
00:02:03Even popes.
00:02:05All of them have promised me freedom at the end.
00:02:08And when it came time to use their final wish, they all used it on themselves.
00:02:13I also have a final request.
00:02:16Speak.
00:02:17I want you to marry my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:02:25Take care of her once I have died for five years.
00:02:32Then you will be free.
00:02:40Your wish is my command.
00:02:43I shall marry your granddaughter.
00:02:45Conceal my identity and protect her.
00:02:49And in five years, I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:02:57The sincerity in his eyes made me want to do my best to fulfill his final wish.
00:03:02Taking care, Christine Parrish.
00:03:11For the first time in a thousand years,
00:03:13I stood before mortals in the form of a human.
00:03:18Five more years caring for his granddaughter,
00:03:21and I'd finally be free.
00:03:24Christine Parrish.
00:03:25The last walk on my chain.
00:03:27Miss Parrish?
00:03:28I'm Elijah Barron.
00:03:30Your future husband.
00:03:34This is ridiculous.
00:03:36Why would Grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
00:03:39I refuse.
00:03:41I'm sorry, Miss Parrish,
00:03:42but if you don't marry Elijah Barron,
00:03:44your grandfather's inheritance will go to the shareholders.
00:03:52Fine.
00:03:54I'll marry him.
00:03:56I promise from now on,
00:03:58I'll take care of you.
00:04:04Let's get one thing straight.
00:04:06I don't need you to take care of me.
00:04:08I can do that on my own.
00:04:10And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:04:14You're not touching me,
00:04:15and you're definitely not sleeping in my bed.
00:04:21Sounds fun.
00:04:26In my first days as a man,
00:04:28I experienced things no djinn was ever meant to know.
00:04:32I kept my identity hidden,
00:04:35building her career from the shadows.
00:04:38I remember every moment I gave her to her husband.
00:04:46But these all meant nothing to her.
00:04:49Elijah,
00:04:50please stop getting these hideous artificial flowers.
00:04:53Cut it.
00:04:55I have watched the glaciers,
00:04:57a thousand years old,
00:04:59melt under the sun.
00:05:01But Christine,
00:05:03your heart never melts.
00:05:06And you're still calling another man's name.
00:05:11Four years,
00:05:12three hundred and sixty days.
00:05:14I can endure anything for five more.
00:05:17Then,
00:05:18I'm finally free.
00:05:32How many times do I have to tell you not to touch my things?
00:05:36I'm just doing my job.
00:05:37You hired me as your assistant,
00:05:39and as your husband.
00:05:40Shh.
00:05:41I don't want anyone at work to know you're my husband.
00:05:44Look,
00:05:45I'm already stressed out enough.
00:05:46I have to land this Hiller deal.
00:05:48If you want to help,
00:05:49you can start by getting out.
00:05:52Now!
00:06:00Good thing my contract doesn't make soon.
00:06:04Yes,
00:06:07I'm confident I can land the Hiller deal.
00:06:09The Hiller deal?
00:06:13As in,
00:06:14Adrian Hiller?
00:06:17Still has late-stage lung cancer.
00:06:20We're doing everything we can,
00:06:21but
00:06:21prepare for the worst.
00:06:23Then what the hell are you even good for?
00:06:25Get the hell out!
00:06:26All of you!
00:06:34Who the fuck are you?
00:06:35You're not supposed to be in here.
00:06:37Who I am is not what's important.
00:06:39What's important is I can save your father.
00:06:41You?
00:06:42Save my father.
00:06:43You're not even a doctor,
00:06:44you lunatic.
00:06:45Peter,
00:06:47since the doctors already said
00:06:48there's nothing more they can do,
00:06:49maybe we should let him try.
00:06:51Absolutely not, Ruby.
00:06:52Yes.
00:06:53Peter,
00:06:53we're running out of options.
00:06:55We have to at least try something.
00:06:57Please.
00:06:59Save our father.
00:07:00I have to do this by myself.
00:07:02No!
00:07:04Fine.
00:07:06But if you do anything funny,
00:07:08I'll kill you.
00:07:23Wake up, old friend.
00:07:28It's you.
00:07:30The Great Jind.
00:07:31I haven't seen you since
00:07:33your marriage.
00:07:35Five years now.
00:07:36I want to thank you
00:07:37for looking after the organization
00:07:39while I was away.
00:07:41The Illuminaries
00:07:43only exist
00:07:44because of you.
00:07:47They can change countless lives.
00:07:50But
00:07:51I have used to have all three of my wishes.
00:07:54I have a phrase
00:07:55to end of the line for me.
00:08:00I can break my rules once.
00:08:02Consider it a temporary extension.
00:08:05A few more years.
00:08:06You would do that for me?
00:08:08Under one condition.
00:08:10The Hiller Group
00:08:11is to give Christine Parrish,
00:08:12my wife,
00:08:13the contract.
00:08:14That's no problem at all.
00:08:17Good.
00:08:32Good.
00:08:33Good.
00:08:37Good.
00:08:38Good.
00:08:39Good.
00:08:39Good.
00:08:41Good.
00:08:42Good.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:43Good.
00:08:44Good.
00:08:46Good.
00:08:50Remember your promise.
00:08:55He's healed.
00:08:58Ruby!
00:08:59Ruby!
00:09:02He did it.
00:09:04He did it.
00:09:06He did it.
00:09:17How'd you go?
00:09:24What the hell?
00:09:26Mr. Baron, here is your custom ordered necklace.
00:09:31Your wife is a very lucky woman.
00:09:35I hope she likes it.
00:09:37Look after her for five years.
00:09:40After five years, you will be free.
00:09:44In four days, it'll be Christine's birthday.
00:09:46And the day my mission ends.
00:09:48Christine, when you realize I'm no longer beside you,
00:09:50will you even miss me?
00:09:52Even a little?
00:09:54Happy early birthday, bestie!
00:09:56Can't believe you're turning 30 soon.
00:09:59Why are we celebrating early again?
00:10:00Because Christine's mom has the same birthday as her
00:10:03and she's going to throw her mom a huge birthday party.
00:10:06I just don't want to steal her thunder.
00:10:08She's turning 50 this year.
00:10:10It's a big year for her.
00:10:24Christine?
00:10:25I remember college like it was yesterday.
00:10:28You were cheer captain and dating Tony, the star quarterback.
00:10:33Now look at us, married, with jobs.
00:10:36Boring.
00:10:37Ugh, yeah.
00:10:39Honestly, if Tony hadn't dumped you for the NFL,
00:10:41you wouldn't have settled for that loser, Elijah.
00:10:44Oh, come on.
00:10:45That was ages ago.
00:10:46Please.
00:10:47We all know you're still not over him.
00:10:50Hey.
00:10:51If he asked to take you back, what would you say?
00:10:55Well, I'm married now.
00:10:57Besides, that was like a decade ago.
00:11:03Hey.
00:11:05I didn't know you were having a party.
00:11:08I got you a gift.
00:11:10Happy birthday.
00:11:14Seriously?
00:11:15This little thing is all you got her for her 30th birthday?
00:11:18Ugh, looks like he grabbed it out of a Target.
00:11:21Ah!
00:11:21What's that?
00:11:24Thanks.
00:11:25What is it?
00:11:27Open it.
00:11:27You'll find out.
00:11:31Hey!
00:11:33Oh, buddy!
00:11:36Woo!
00:11:45Tony?
00:11:47Surprise!
00:11:49We invited him just for you, honeymoon, boo!
00:11:54Hey, sexy.
00:11:55Happy birthday.
00:11:57Come here.
00:12:05Is that Tony Roth?
00:12:06Didn't he just win the Super Bowl like two years ago?
00:12:08He did.
00:12:09Oh my, he's hotter in person.
00:12:12I didn't know Christina's friends with him.
00:12:15Oh, not just friends.
00:12:17They used to date.
00:12:20I got you a gift.
00:12:21I got you a gift.
00:12:25Oh my God, that's so gorgeous.
00:12:27Put it on her.
00:12:31Come on, let me put it on for you.
00:12:35I'm all right.
00:12:47Stacy also told me that you were having issues with the Heller Group contract.
00:12:52I can help you with that.
00:12:55And thank you, Tony, but I think I can handle it.
00:12:59Of course, babe.
00:13:00You know, I just want to help since your husband's obviously pretty useless.
00:13:03Aww, look, they're kind of cute together, even though Christina's married to that Randall.
00:13:09See, that's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife.
00:13:18Oops.
00:13:19That was an accident.
00:13:21Sorry.
00:13:26I took care of you and loved you for five years, Christine.
00:13:31But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:13:37You must be the assistant slash husband.
00:13:41I'm Tony Roth.
00:13:45We'll have to.
00:13:49Elijah.
00:13:51That was rude.
00:13:57Four more days until the contract ends.
00:13:59I'll be out of her life for good.
00:14:01Just like she's always wanted.
00:14:08Christine, our company stock is tanking.
00:14:12We need the Heller contract.
00:14:14I know, Mom.
00:14:16God, I'll figure something out.
00:14:19Your ex-Tony is golfing buddies with Peter Hiller.
00:14:22Maybe you can get a meeting with him.
00:14:24He could help us land the contract.
00:14:26Mom, the Hiller Corp is the biggest company in the nation.
00:14:30Just because I get an introduction doesn't mean we're going to land it.
00:14:35Fine.
00:14:36I'll ask him.
00:14:40You don't need to ask, Tony.
00:14:44Tony, I took care of it.
00:14:45The Hillers are going to give you the contract and they're going to invest in your company, too.
00:14:49You already took care of it, Elijah.
00:14:51How did you possibly already take care of it?
00:14:53Please don't be ridiculous.
00:14:54Exactly.
00:14:55What do you know about business?
00:14:57Your glorified help.
00:14:58I was just stating the facts.
00:15:00No, Elijah.
00:15:01You just don't get it.
00:15:03Just.
00:15:05Besides, Tony's going to be here in a little bit.
00:15:07Please don't make a fool out of yourself.
00:15:09You were incredibly rude last time.
00:15:11Because he put his hands all over my wife.
00:15:13So you're jealous and now you're lying.
00:15:17I just cannot deal with this right now.
00:15:21Come on, drive me to the salon.
00:15:23I have to get a perm for my big day.
00:15:25Don't you dare make me late.
00:15:44What are you standing there for?
00:15:47Hurry up and drive me to the salon.
00:16:00Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:16:03Thank you, Tony.
00:16:04I really appreciate it.
00:16:06No need to thank you.
00:16:11Hey, listen.
00:16:12I left to chase my football dreams, but I never forgot about you.
00:16:16Not for a second.
00:16:17Listen, now that I'm finally retired, I can stay by your side.
00:16:24I, um, thank you for saying that.
00:16:30But I'm already married.
00:16:35Okay, so...
00:16:37What, you're going to waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward when you can?
00:16:46He's actually really good to me.
00:16:49Come on, Christine, you're way too nice.
00:16:52Even if he treats you well, you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness for him.
00:17:00Divorce him.
00:17:02Be free.
00:17:05Be free.
00:17:07Be free.
00:17:11This is me.
00:17:15As for the Hiller thing, thanks again.
00:17:18You're welcome.
00:17:37Long day.
00:17:40Dinner's gone cold, but go take a bath and I'll reheat it for you.
00:17:45That's okay.
00:17:46I already ate.
00:17:53Donnie.
00:17:58Donnie.
00:18:01Donnie.
00:18:01Donnie.
00:18:14Donnie.
00:18:16Donnie.
00:18:17Donnie.
00:18:19Donnie.
00:18:20My wife of five years just called out another man's name while she came.
00:18:35Elisha, what are you doing?
00:18:51She still hasn't acknowledged the gift I got her.
00:18:54She probably never will.
00:18:55Oh, my God.
00:19:09I'll do it.
00:19:11Do you want more than a woman?
00:19:12I just got her as an assumes.
00:19:12And I do.
00:19:14my injuries are scary.kay
00:19:31Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:19:34You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:19:37Aren't you going to say anything?
00:19:42No matter how much I ignore you or reject you, you just won't leave.
00:19:46Why?
00:19:48It's been five years, don't you get it by now?
00:19:51I should be able to choose who I love, so no matter what you do, I'm never ever going
00:19:55to love you.
00:19:58I don't need your love, Christine, I made a promise to your grandfather and I intend
00:20:03to keep it.
00:20:04Yeah, you keep saying that, but you want to know what I think?
00:20:08I think you're just trying to leech off my family, so you don't have to work.
00:20:13You pretend to love me, but in reality, you're just in it for the money.
00:20:19That's why when I call out another guy's name, you don't even react.
00:20:24Christine, if you have taken even a second to look at everything I've done for you the
00:20:28past five years, you'd know that's not true.
00:20:30I know you want me gone.
00:20:32Give it a few days, maybe your wish will come true.
00:20:39Hey Peter, it's me, Tony.
00:20:40I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:20:43We already decided on a partner, so don't call me about this again.
00:20:47You've found someone already?
00:20:49Yeah.
00:20:50Someone who has done the family an enormous favor, so drop it.
00:20:53Wait, wait.
00:20:56As he is ordered, this contract must go directly to Christine.
00:21:00Failure is not an option.
00:21:04I'll get it done.
00:21:13Mr. Hiller, this is so unexpected, what can I do for you?
00:21:18I know your company has been bidding for our project.
00:21:20I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:21:21Yes.
00:21:22Um, it's not finished yet, but um, I have a proposal.
00:21:26No need.
00:21:27I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:21:30Really?
00:21:30You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:21:33Nope.
00:21:34We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:21:36I'm excited to see Paris store to the next level.
00:21:38Really?
00:21:42Thank you so much, Mr. Hiller.
00:21:43I don't know what to say.
00:21:45Don't thank me.
00:21:46I think the great man who's been backing you.
00:21:49The great man backing me?
00:21:51Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about getting you the contract.
00:21:54It must be Tony.

00:28:58people always hope and beg me to make them rich
00:29:01I wish
00:29:02and Stephen Parrish was no exception
00:29:04I wish to become rich
00:29:06rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again
00:29:11with his first two wishes he built an empire
00:29:15but he kept his final wish locked in this chest
00:29:18until the last day of his life
00:29:22my third wish is your freedom
00:29:26no lamp, no chain, no master
00:29:30you're using your final wish on me
00:29:32I have not forgotten my promise

00:29:45noblemen
00:29:46even popes
00:29:48all of them have promised me freedom at the end
00:29:51and when it came time to use their final wish

00:29:56I also have a final request
00:29:59speak

00:31:49I don't need you to take care of me
00:31:52I can do that on my own
00:31:54and just cause we're married
00:31:55doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband
00:31:57you're not touching me
00:31:59and you're definitely not sleeping in my bed
00:32:05sounds fun
00:32:09in my first days as a man
00:32:11I experienced things no Jyn was ever meant to know
00:32:16I kept my identity hidden
00:32:18building her career from the shadows
00:32:22I remember every moment I gave her to her husband
00:32:30but these all meant nothing to her
00:32:32Elijah

00:36:47He did it.
00:36:49He missed.
00:37:01There you go.
00:37:08What the hell?
00:37:10Mr. Baron, here is your custom ordered necklace.
00:37:15Your wife is a very lucky woman.
00:37:18Thank you. I hope she likes it.
00:37:20Look after her for five years.
00:37:23After five years, you will be free.
00:37:28In four days, it'll be Christine's birthday.
00:37:30And the day my mission ends.
00:37:32Christine, when you realize I'm no longer beside you,
00:37:34will you even miss me?
00:37:35Even a little?
00:37:38Happy early birthday, bestie!
00:37:40I can't believe you're turning 30 soon.
00:37:42Why are we celebrating early again?
00:37:44Because Christine's mom has the same birthday as her,
00:37:47and she's going to throw her mom a huge birthday party.
00:37:50I just don't want to steal her thunder.
00:37:52She's turning 50 this year.
00:37:53It's a big year for her.
00:38:07Christine?
00:38:09I remember college like it was yesterday.
00:38:11You were cheer captain and dating Tony,
00:38:14the star quarterback.
00:38:16Now look at us.
00:38:17Married, with jobs.
00:38:20Boring.
00:38:21Ugh, yeah.
00:38:22Honestly, if Tony hadn't dumped you for the NFL,
00:38:25you wouldn't have settled for that loser, Elijah.
00:38:28Oh, come on.
00:38:29That was ages ago.
00:38:30Please.
00:38:31We all know you're still not over him.
00:38:34Hey, if he asked to take you back, what would you say?
00:38:39Well, I'm married now.
00:38:41Besides, that was like a decade ago.
00:38:48Hey, I didn't know you were having a party.
00:38:51I got you a gift.
00:38:54Happy birthday.
00:38:56Ugh.
00:38:57Seriously?
00:38:58This little thing is all you got her for her 30th birthday?
00:39:02Ugh.
00:39:02Looks like he grabbed it out of a Target.
00:39:08Thanks.
00:39:09What is it?
00:39:10Open it.
00:39:11You'll find out.
00:39:15Hey!
00:39:17Oh, buddy!
00:39:19Woo!
00:39:25Huh?
00:39:29Tony?
00:39:31Surprise!
00:39:32We invited him just for you, honeymoon, boo!
00:39:37Hey, sexy.
00:39:38Happy birthday.
00:39:40Come here.
00:39:48Is that Tony Roth?
00:39:50Didn't he just win the Super Bowl like two years ago?
00:39:52He did.
00:39:53Oh my, he's hotter in person.
00:39:56I didn't know Christina's friends with him.
00:39:58Oh, not just friends.
00:40:00They used to date.
00:40:03I got you a gift.
00:40:08Oh my God, that's so gorgeous.
00:40:10Put it on her.
00:40:15Come on, let me put it on for you.
00:40:18Um, alright.
00:40:31Stacy also told me that you were having issues with the Heller Group contract.
00:40:35I can help you with that.
00:40:39Thank you, Tony, but I think I can handle it.
00:40:42Of course, babe.
00:40:43You know, I just want to help since your husband's obviously pretty useless.
00:40:47Aww, look, they're kind of cute together.
00:40:50Even though Christina's married to that Randall.
00:40:53You know, see, that's the kind of gift a man should be getting his wife.
00:41:01Oops.
00:41:02That was an accident.
00:41:04Sorry.
00:41:09I took care of you and loved you for five years, Christine.
00:41:14But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:41:20You must be the assistant slash husband.
00:41:24I'm Tony Roth.
00:41:28We'll have to.
00:41:32Elijah.
00:41:35That was rude.
00:41:40Four more days until the contract ends.
00:41:43I'll be out of her life for good.
00:41:45Just like she's always wanted.
00:41:52Christine, our company stock is tanking.
00:41:56We need the Heller contract.
00:41:58I know, Mom.
00:41:59I'll figure something out.
00:42:03Your ex Tony is golfing buddies of Peter Hiller.
00:42:06Maybe you can get a meeting with him.
00:42:08He could help us land the contract.
00:42:10Mom, the Hiller Corp is the biggest company in the nation.
00:42:13Just because I get an introduction doesn't mean we're going to land it.
00:42:19Fine, I'll ask him.
00:42:24You don't need to ask Tony.
00:42:27I took care of it.
00:42:29The Hillers are going to give you the contract and they're going to invest in your company too.
00:42:32You already took care of it, Elijah.
00:42:34How did you possibly already take care of it?
00:42:37Please don't be ridiculous.
00:42:38Exactly.
00:42:39What do you know about business?
00:42:40Your glorified help.
00:42:42I was just stating the facts.
00:42:44No, Elijah.
00:42:45You just don't get it.
00:42:47Just...
00:42:48Besides, Tony's going to be here in a little bit.
00:42:50Please don't make a fool out of yourself.
00:42:52You were incredibly rude last time.
00:42:54Because he put his hands all over my wife.
00:42:56So you're jealous and now you're lying.
00:43:00I just cannot deal with this right now.
00:43:04Come on, drive me to the salon.
00:43:07I have to get a perm for my big day.
00:43:09Don't you dare make me late.
00:43:28We'll see ya.
00:43:29What are you standing there for?
00:43:31Hurry up and drive me to the salon.
00:43:43Don't worry, I'll contact the Hillers later about giving you the contract.
00:43:46Thank you, Tony.
00:43:47I really appreciate it.
00:43:50Don't need a thank.
00:43:54Hey, listen.
00:43:55I left to chase my football dreams, but I never forgot about you.
00:43:59Not for a second.
00:44:00Listen, now that I'm finally retired, I can stay by your side.
00:44:08I, um, thank you for saying that.
00:44:13But I'm already married.
00:44:19Okay, so...
00:44:20What, you're gonna waste the best years of your life on a worthless coward like him?
00:44:30He's actually really good to me.
00:44:33Come on, Christine, you're way too nice.
00:44:35Even if you treat too well, you shouldn't sacrifice your own happiness for him.
00:44:44Divorce him.
00:44:45Divorce him.
00:44:45Be free.
00:44:55This is me.
00:44:58As for the Hiller thing, thanks again.
00:45:01You're welcome.
00:45:21Long day.
00:45:24Dinner's gone cold, but go take a bath and I'll reheat it for you.
00:45:28That's okay.
00:45:29I already ate.
00:45:30Oh, no.
00:45:36Die.
00:45:39Die.
00:45:43Die.
00:45:50Die.
00:45:52Die.
00:46:04My wife of five years
00:46:06just called out another man's name
00:46:08while she came.
00:46:18Elijah, what are you doing?
00:46:24I thought you would tell.
00:46:35She still hasn't acknowledged
00:46:36the gift I got her.
00:46:38She probably never will.
00:46:39I don't know.
00:46:40I don't know.
00:47:01I don't know.
00:47:06I don't know.
00:47:11Careful.
00:47:15Is that all you're going to say to me?
00:47:18You clearly saw what just happened in there.
00:47:21Aren't you going to say anything?
00:47:25No matter how much I ignore you or reject you,
00:47:28you just won't leave.
00:47:30Why?
00:47:31It's been five years.
00:47:33Don't you get it by now?
00:47:34I should be able to choose who I love.
00:47:36So no matter what you do,
00:47:38I'm never ever going to love you.
00:47:41I don't need your love, Christine.
00:47:44I made a promise to your grandfather
00:47:46and I intend to keep it.
00:47:47Yeah, you keep saying that.
00:47:49But you want to know what I think?
00:47:51I think you're just trying to leech off my family
00:47:54so you don't have to work.
00:47:56You pretend to love me,
00:47:58but in reality,
00:48:00you're just in it for the money.
00:48:03That's why when I call out another guy's name,
00:48:05you don't even react.
00:48:07Christine, if you have taken even a second
00:48:09to look at everything I've done for you
00:48:11the past five years,
00:48:12you'd know that's not true.
00:48:13I know you want me gone.
00:48:16Give it a few days,
00:48:17maybe your wish will come true.
00:48:22Hey, Peter, it's me, Tony.
00:48:24I heard Hillercorp is looking for a company to partner with.
00:48:27We already decided on a partner,
00:48:29so don't call me about this again.
00:48:31You've found someone already?
00:48:33Yeah.
00:48:33Someone who has done the family an enormous favor,
00:48:36so drop it.
00:48:37Wait, wait.
00:48:39As he is ordered,
00:48:41this contract must go directly to Christine.
00:48:44Failure is not an option.
00:48:47I'll get it done.
00:48:56Mr. Heller,
00:48:58this is so unexpected.
00:49:00What can I do for you?
00:49:01I know your company has been bidding for our project.
00:49:03I'm here to discuss it with you.
00:49:05Yes, it's not finished yet,
00:49:07but I have a proposal.
00:49:09No need.
00:49:11I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:49:13Really?
00:49:14You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:49:17Nope.
00:49:17We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:49:20I'm excited to see Paris store to the next level.
00:49:22Really?
00:49:25Thank you so much, Mr. Heller.
00:49:27I don't know what to say.
00:49:28Don't thank me.
00:49:29I think the great man who's been backing you.
00:49:32The great man backing me?
00:49:34Don't worry,
00:49:35I'll contact the others later about giving you the contract.
00:49:38It must be Tony.
00:49:39Wow, he really came through for me.
00:49:46Tony.
00:49:47Hey, babe.
00:49:48Thank you so much for your help.
00:49:49We got the Heller contract.
00:49:51What?
00:49:52I couldn't even bring it up with Peter,
00:49:53but Christine still managed to get the contract?
00:49:56Oh, whatever.
00:49:57I guess it worked out.
00:49:59Uh, yeah, of course, babe.
00:50:01Uh, I mean, you mean so much to me,
00:50:03and Peter's my butt.
00:50:04How can I not help?
00:50:05Where are you right now?
00:50:07I'd like to thank you in person.
00:50:09All right, I'll be right over.
00:50:20Elijah?
00:50:21Can you take me to Maple Hotel?
00:50:23I have a work thing.
00:50:25Okay.
00:50:37No need to wait for me.
00:50:39I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
00:51:03I'm just going to be discussing work with Tony.
00:51:12Um, Peter personally came by the office
00:51:15and handed me the contract.
00:51:17Just want to say thank you.
00:51:18I don't think it would have been so smooth
00:51:20if it wasn't for you, Tony.
00:51:21I told you I'd do anything for you.
00:51:23It's not that.
00:51:35Oh, my God.
00:51:37I'm so sorry.
00:51:38Oh, my gosh.
00:51:39I'm so sorry.
00:51:40I told you.
00:51:41Let me get this.
00:51:42It's okay.
00:51:43It's okay.
00:52:09It's okay.
00:52:11You're wife's got a killer bot.
00:52:13I'm going to save her every inch of it.
00:52:33I still like seeing you only in a robe.
00:52:35You still remember our island vacation?
00:52:37Just the two of us on the beach?
00:52:38That was, um, a beautiful memory.
00:52:46Christine, you must be exhausted.
00:52:49Running Parish Enterprise is all on your own.
00:52:51Do you still need to suffer like this?
00:52:54My grandpa left me this company.
00:52:56So no matter how hard it gets, I'm not going to give up.
00:52:59My help isn't limited to the other contract.
00:53:01But if you want to start over with me, I can help you show there's so much more.
00:53:07Tony, now's not the time for that.
00:53:08Well, didn't you say you were grateful to me?
00:53:13Why can't we just start over?
00:53:15Because I'm already married.
00:53:17To Elijah, that spineless goof who's only good for cooking your meals and obeying your
00:53:25everyone.
00:53:27Christine, you're not fooling anyone.
00:53:30I'm used to.
00:53:33I'm going to show you what a real man's like.
00:53:36Tony, no.
00:53:37Don't.
00:53:38Wait, get this off of me.
00:53:40Tony, don't.
00:53:41Wait, Tony.
00:53:45Wait, Tony.
00:53:48Get your hands off my wife.
00:53:53Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:53:55Just a man protecting his wife.
00:54:03Elijah.
00:54:05Elijah.
00:54:06You're killing him.
00:54:07Let him let go.
00:54:08I said to him.
00:54:09Let him go.
00:54:14Apologize to Tony.
00:54:15He was just assaulting you.
00:54:17You want me to apologize?
00:54:18Nothing happened.
00:54:19You almost killed him.
00:54:20You overreacted.
00:54:21Nothing happened?
00:54:24Clearly he was going to do something to you.
00:54:25Oh my God, you're paranoid.
00:54:27I don't need your reckless protection.
00:54:30I am your husband.
00:54:32It is my job to protect you.
00:54:34As my wife, you shouldn't put yourself in situations like this.
00:54:39I was forced to marry you.
00:54:41Remember?
00:54:43I never wanted you as my husband.
00:54:48Five years and she still doesn't want you.
00:54:51She never will.
00:54:56So do you love him?
00:55:13Christine, I'm sorry if I rushed you, but not-
00:55:14I think we need to cool off, I bet.
00:55:29I was forced to marry you.
00:55:31I never wanted you as my husband.
00:55:33You're just a useless freeloader.
00:55:36Christine, our company's stock is tanking.
00:55:39We need the Hiller contract.
00:55:42I know, Mom.
00:55:43God, I'll figure something out.
00:55:45I took care of it.
00:55:46The Hiller's going to give you the contract.
00:55:47Please don't be ridiculous.
00:55:48No need.
00:55:49I'm just here to hand you the contract.
00:55:52Really?
00:55:53You don't want to take a look at the proposal first?
00:55:56Nope.
00:55:56We're also going to add another round of investments.
00:55:58I think the great man has been backing you.
00:56:00It must be Tony.
00:56:01Get your hands off my wife!
00:56:04Elijah!
00:56:05You're killing him!
00:56:07Apologize to Tony!
00:56:08I think you're just trying to leech off my family.
00:56:11You're just in it for the money.
00:56:12I took care of you.
00:56:13I loved you for five years, Christine.
00:56:15But you won't even give me the most basic respect.
00:56:17I was forced to marry you.
00:56:19I never wanted you as my husband.
00:56:21Let's get a divorce.
00:56:25Great shaving.
00:56:26Please instruct us.
00:56:28Elijah, watch out!
00:56:30I'm a genie who has lived for thousands of years.
00:56:34I have granted countless wishes and watched countless people grow old and die.
00:56:40I shall grant you three wishes.
00:56:42People always hope and beg me to make them rich.
00:56:45I wish...
00:56:46And Stephen Parrish was no exception.
00:56:49I wish to become rich.
00:56:50Rich enough that I'll never have to worry about money ever again.
00:56:55With his first two wishes, he built an empire.
00:56:58But he kept his final wish locked in this chest until the last day of his life.
00:57:05My third wish is your freedom.
00:57:10No lamp, no chain, no master.
00:57:14You're using your final wish on me.
00:57:16I have not forgotten my promise many years ago.
00:57:21I think about it often.
00:57:23I have served hundreds of humans.
00:57:26Kings.
00:57:28Noblemen.
00:57:30Even popes.
00:57:32All of them have promised me freedom at the end.
00:57:35And when it came time to use their final wish, they all used it on themselves.
00:57:40I also have a final request.
00:57:43Speak.
00:57:45I want you to marry my granddaughter, Christine Parrish.
00:57:52Take care of her once I have died for five years.
00:57:59Then you will be free.
00:58:07Your wish is my command.
00:58:10I shall marry your granddaughter, conceal my identity, and protect her.
00:58:16And in five years, I too shall finally have my freedom.
00:58:24The sincerity in his eyes made me want to do my best to fulfill his final wish.
00:58:37For the first time in a thousand years, I stood before mortals in the form of a human.
00:58:45Five more years caring for his granddaughter, and I finally be free.
00:58:50Christine Parrish, the last walk on my chain.
00:58:54Miss Parrish, I'm Elijah Barron, your future husband.
00:59:01This is ridiculous.
00:59:03Why would Grandpa force me to marry a stranger?
00:59:06I refuse.
00:59:08I'm sorry, Miss Parrish, but if you don't marry Elijah Barron, your grandfather's inheritance will go to the shareholder.
00:59:19Fine.
00:59:21I'll marry him.
00:59:23I promise from now on, I'll take care of you.
00:59:31Let's get one thing straight.
00:59:33I don't need you to take care of me.
00:59:35I can do that on my own.
00:59:37And just because we're married doesn't mean that you get to act like my husband.
00:59:41You're not touching me, and you're definitely not sleeping in my bed.
00:59:48Sounds fun.
00:59:53In my first days as a man, I experienced things no djinn was ever meant to know.
01:00:00I kept my identity hidden, building her career from the shadows.
01:00:05I remember every moment I gave her to her husband.
01:00:14But these all meant nothing to her.
01:00:16Elijah, please stop getting these hideous artificial flowers.
01:00:20Got it.
01:00:22I have watched the glaciers, a thousand years old, melt under the sun.
01:00:28But Christine, your heart never melts.
01:00:33And you're still calling another man's name.
01:00:37Four years, three hundred and sixty days.
01:00:41I can endure anything for five more.
01:00:43Then, I'm finally free.
01:00:48Then, I'm finally free.
