00:00:02I love someone else.
00:00:05Okay. Harsh opening.
00:00:07If we get married, I will never love you.
00:00:10There will be no real marriage, no romance, no intimacy, no expectations.
00:00:15Mr. West, with all due respect, you sound like a walking red flag.
00:00:20$200,000 a month.
00:00:22Your only job is to stay out of my life.
00:00:25Say that again. Slowly.
00:00:28$200,000 a month.
00:00:31Deal.
00:00:31You were about to leave.
00:00:33I was about to leave my old life behind.
00:00:35This is not a joke.
00:00:37I know. That's why I'm smiling respectfully.
00:00:41We sleep in separate rooms.
00:00:43Ryan, you are making this deal better every second.
00:00:47I don't want a wife. I need one.
00:00:50Great. I don't want a husband. I need money.
00:00:56You don't even want to read the rest?
00:01:00Does the rest say I get paid?
00:01:02Yes.
00:01:03Then I read the important part.
00:01:06My family will think we're a real couple.
00:01:08Adorable. Rich people in their theater.
00:01:10In public, you behave.
00:01:12I can behave for $200,000 a month.
00:01:16And remember, Evelyn Sterling is the only woman I'll ever love.
00:01:20Love, Evelyn? Pay Riley. Got it.
00:01:23Do not fall in love with me.
00:01:25Ryan, for $200,000 a month, I won't even think about you.
00:01:28Some women marry for love.
00:01:30Some marry for security.
00:01:31I'm married for direct deposit.
00:01:36Hmm.
00:01:39Clara, is my husband home?
00:01:42Mr. West left for a business trip.
00:01:44He said he won't be back for a few days.
00:01:46Beautiful.
00:01:49And I win.
00:01:51Oh, George!
00:01:53Are you a gardener or a card shark?
00:02:00Mr. West!
00:02:02Hide the snacks!
00:02:03Hide the cards!
00:02:04Hide my joy!
00:02:11Honey!
00:02:12You're home early!
00:02:14Why are you sweating?
00:02:15Because...
00:02:16I...
00:02:17I missed you aggressively.
00:02:25Riley.
00:02:28I was about to lose my fake marriage and my real income.
00:02:38Are you gambling in my living room?
00:02:40No.
00:02:41Absolutely not.
00:02:41Then what is this?
00:02:43Modern art?
00:02:44Okay.
00:02:45Bad answer.
00:02:46I came back for a file.
00:02:48I'm leaving in ten minutes.
00:02:49Of course.
00:02:51Take your time.
00:02:52Or don't.
00:02:52Whatever makes you happiest.
00:02:54Stop acting weird.
00:02:57This is my normal wife mode.
00:03:00Move! Move! Move!
00:03:05Mrs. West.
00:03:06You are not built for crime.
00:03:08I'm married for money.
00:03:09That was already crime adjacent.
00:03:11Safe trip, husband.
00:03:13Make money.
00:03:14Stay healthy.
00:03:15Love your dream girl from a distance.
00:03:17What?
00:03:17I said drive safe.
00:03:23He didn't notice the chips.
00:03:26Then we continue.
00:03:30Business trip extended.
00:03:32I won't be home for a month.
00:03:34I love marriage.
00:03:36Girl, come on this trip.
00:03:38No husbands.
00:03:39No boring rich people.
00:03:40Just food, drinks, and bad decisions.
00:03:42Bad decisions?
00:03:43I'm literally married to one.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:47Who is that?
00:03:49Evelyn Sterling.
00:03:52Mr. West.
00:03:53Ms. Sterling will also be in Napa this weekend.
00:03:58Evelyn?
00:04:04Riley! You made it!
00:04:07My husband abandoned me at home.
00:04:09I needed emotional wine.
00:04:12This is Evelyn Sterling.
00:04:15Hi.
00:04:16I've heard a lot about you.
00:04:20All lies, I hope.
00:04:22Mostly charming ones.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:25Pretty girl, soft voice, dangerous combination.
00:04:34You're still here?
00:04:37I'm trying to decide between sauce and eternal life.
00:04:43Any allergies?
00:04:45No.
00:04:46Just no cilantro, please.
00:04:48Good.
00:04:48I can work with that.
00:04:53Taste it.
00:04:54If you hate it, blame Melissa.
00:04:58It's really good.
00:05:00Of course.
00:05:01I'm a woman of many useless talons.
00:05:04I don't think they're useless.
00:05:07She walks like a princess and disappears like a ghost.
00:05:12Come on, beautiful.
00:05:14Just give me your number.
00:05:17I said no.
00:05:18Don't be rude.
00:05:24She said no.
00:05:27And who are you?
00:05:29The part of the night you're gonna regret.
00:05:37Relax.
00:05:38We're just talking.
00:05:39She looks like she wants to talk to you.
00:05:42No.
00:05:43There.
00:05:45Conversation over.
00:05:48You shouldn't mind your own business.
00:05:52I was trying to.
00:05:54Then your business got ugly.
00:06:03Touch her again and I'll make this embarrassing.
00:06:06You crazy!
00:06:07Careful.
00:06:08I'm already being polite.
00:06:19You okay?
00:06:23You protected me.
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26Creeps hate women with upper body strength.
00:06:33Are you always like this?
00:06:36Annoying?
00:06:37Brave.
00:06:38Don't romanticize me.
00:06:39I panic Boston marriage.
00:06:41I like impulsive women.
00:06:43Was that?
00:06:43Flirting?
00:06:44No.
00:06:45Rich girls are just weirdly poetic.
00:06:48Can I stay close to you tonight?
00:06:51Because of that guy?
00:06:55I feel safer with you.
00:06:58Sure.
00:06:59Yeah.
00:06:59Safety.
00:07:00Very normal.
00:07:07Wait a second.
00:07:09Am I crazy?
00:07:10Or is my friend's husband's dream girl flirting with her?
00:07:15What did you say?
00:07:17What did you say?
00:07:19Nothing.
00:07:26You scared?
00:07:27A little.
00:07:34Don't worry.
00:07:35I'm sorry.
00:07:35This thing is safer than my marriage.
00:07:37That bad?
00:07:38No.
00:07:40Just emotionally vacant.
00:07:43Maybe that's not a bad thing.
00:07:51See?
00:07:52Fun.
00:07:52Nobody died.
00:07:54Whoa!
00:07:55Hey!
00:07:56You okay?
00:07:57I feel dizzy.
00:08:00Your face is red.
00:08:01Are you sick?
00:08:02Maybe.
00:08:03You were fine ten minutes ago.
00:08:05People can get sick suddenly.
00:08:09Was she acting?
00:08:10Probably.
00:08:11Was it working?
00:08:13Unfortunately, yes.
00:08:15Can we ride the carousel instead?
00:08:18Carousel?
00:08:18You're dizzy.
00:08:19It's slow.
00:08:21And cute.
00:08:25You are dangerously persuasive.
00:08:28So that's a yes?
00:08:30Thank you, Riley.
00:08:32For what?
00:08:33Being emotionally blackmailed by a pretty woman?
00:08:37You think I'm pretty?
00:08:40Objectively.
00:08:41Like a museum.
00:08:45I'm still sick.
00:08:46Why do I kind of like it?
00:08:49Evidence?
00:08:50Riley is being hunted.
00:08:57Everything nearby is booked.
00:09:01Seriously? Every hotel?
00:09:04I'm sorry.
00:09:05I should have booked earlier.
00:09:07You didn't book a room?
00:09:08I thought I did.
00:09:10Maybe the app glitched.
00:09:12That app did not glitch.
00:09:13That woman glitched me.
00:09:15Riley, don't look at me.
00:09:17My room has one bed and trauma.
00:09:19I can find somewhere else.
00:09:21At midnight?
00:09:22In heels?
00:09:24Fine.
00:09:25You can stay at my place.
00:09:27Really?
00:09:29Guest room.
00:09:30Very normal.
00:09:31No drama.
00:09:33Famous last words.
00:09:36Evelyn Sterling?
00:09:39Nice to meet you.
00:09:42Of course.
00:09:42I'll prepare the room.
00:09:43See?
00:09:44Fancy house.
00:09:45Many rooms.
00:09:46No problem.
00:09:53That's my robe!
00:09:55Claire said I could borrow it.
00:09:58Traitor.
00:09:59Riley?
00:10:02Can I sleep near you tonight?
00:10:06Near me?
00:10:08I'm scared of thunder.
00:10:10Evelyn.
00:10:11The moon is basically screaming good weather.
00:10:14Weather can change.
00:10:16This is temporary.
00:10:18Of course.
00:10:19And normal.
00:10:21Very normal.
00:10:24I am a married woman.
00:10:26A fake married woman, but still.
00:10:29Evelyn!
00:10:31Breakfast!
00:10:36Who did you just call?
00:10:45Say that name again.
00:10:48Breakfast?
00:10:50Riley.
00:10:51Okay.
00:10:52Tiny misunderstanding.
00:10:54You brought someone into my house?
00:10:57Technically, our house.
00:10:59Contractually, mostly yours.
00:11:00Spiritually, Clara's.
00:11:02She's just a friend from the trip.
00:11:04Her hotel was full.
00:11:05Nothing happened.
00:11:11Evelyn?
00:11:13Ryan?
00:11:14Wait.
00:11:15You two know each other?
00:11:18Evelyn.
00:11:19Why are you here?
00:11:23Did you come to see me?
00:11:25You knew this was my house?
00:11:27No.
00:11:30I came with Riley.
00:11:32Okay.
00:11:33Why did that sound illegal?
00:11:36Oh!
00:11:36Oh my God!
00:11:38That's her.
00:11:39Her who?
00:11:42This is Evelyn Sterling.
00:11:47Evelyn Sterling?
00:11:49As in his Evelyn Sterling?
00:11:52Evelyn, I've been trying to see you for months.
00:11:54I know.
00:11:55Then why didn't you answer me?
00:11:59Because I didn't want to.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06I am missing several chapters.
00:12:08Evelyn, please.
00:12:10Can we talk alone?
00:12:12Do you want me to?
00:12:18Why is my husband's dream girl asking my permission?
00:12:26Why do you have snacks ready?
00:12:29This house has history.
00:12:32And Mr. West has bad luck.
00:12:35You disappeared again.
00:12:39I didn't disappear.
00:12:41I left.
00:12:43I waited for you that night.
00:12:45In the rain.
00:12:47I never asked you to.
00:12:50I thought if I got married, you'd finally react.
00:12:54You married another woman to get my attention?
00:12:57That's not romantic, Ryan.
00:12:59That's cruel.
00:13:01Wait.
00:13:01Am I the another woman?
00:13:03Rude.
00:13:05She knew the deal.
00:13:08That doesn't make it right.
00:13:10Tell me the truth.
00:13:13Is there someone else?
00:13:19She saw me.
00:13:21Everyone saw you.
00:13:26Evelyn.
00:13:27I don't want you.
00:13:29I never did.
00:13:30Then why are you here?
00:13:36Because of her.
00:13:42Me?
00:13:46Riley.
00:13:47Oh, this is getting expensive.
00:13:49For him.
00:13:52I had eaten snacks during the wrong emotional war.
00:13:58Explain.
00:13:59I did not seduce your dream girl.
00:14:02Not intentionally.
00:14:07Riley.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11Bad phrasing.
00:14:15What does Evelyn want from you?
00:14:17Probably emotional safety.
00:14:19Maybe my sauce recipe.
00:14:21This is serious.
00:14:23I can tell.
00:14:25Your jaw is doing that billionaire thing.
00:14:30You're going to help me.
00:14:32Help you what?
00:14:34Win Evelyn back.
00:14:36Back?
00:14:38Was she ever forward?
00:14:40Sorry.
00:14:41Honest question.
00:14:46300,000.
00:14:48For the whole thing?
00:14:50Per month.
00:14:52I am listening with my entire soul.
00:14:55You know Evelyn now.
00:14:57She trusts you.
00:14:58Find out what she likes.
00:15:00What she wants.
00:15:01What changed.
00:15:03What if what she wants is not you?
00:15:06Then convince her she's wrong.
00:15:09That sounds healthy.
00:15:12If there's no progress in three months, your allowance gets cut in half.
00:15:17Excuse me?
00:15:18You heard me.
00:15:21Ryan, marriage has made me very loyal.
00:15:25Mostly to income.
00:15:27And take this back.
00:15:28I don't need gifts.
00:15:31That perfume cost more than my dignity.
00:15:36Actually, Evelyn helped me choose this.
00:15:39She said the scent felt like you.
00:15:43She said that?
00:15:47Pretty much.
00:15:48I lied for money.
00:15:50Again.
00:15:57Can I see you tomorrow?
00:15:59Just us.
00:16:09Evelyn.
00:16:12This job was becoming extremely unsafe.
00:16:20Evelyn chose this.
00:16:24Of course she did.
00:16:26What?
00:16:27I said, of course, sir.
00:16:34She lied.
00:16:36Obviously.
00:16:39Should we warn him?
00:16:42Absolutely not.
00:16:44Mission.
00:16:44Help my husband date his dream girl.
00:16:46Risk level.
00:16:47Emotional death.
00:16:49You came.
00:16:50I was invited.
00:16:51And I'm very weak against polite messages.
00:16:54What's this?
00:16:54A gift.
00:16:56Oh, wow.
00:16:57That's familiar.
00:16:59Ryan wore it yesterday.
00:17:02Did he?
00:17:04Was he wrong?
00:17:08Favorite is a strong word.
00:17:10Riley.
00:17:11Yes?
00:17:12Did Ryan ask you to meet me?
00:17:16He is terrible at hiding.
00:17:20I know.
00:17:21You know?
00:17:21Ryan has been following me emotionally for years.
00:17:25Physically is not that different.
00:17:29Tell me the truth.
00:17:31Did he send you?
00:17:35Technically, yes.
00:17:37Then I'll make this simple.
00:17:39I won't date him.
00:17:43But I might date you.
00:17:52Sorry.
00:17:53I think my ears committed a crime.
00:17:57You heard me.
00:17:59No, I heard English.
00:18:00I just don't understand the plot.
00:18:02Ryan thinks you can help him.
00:18:06He pays well.
00:18:08I can pay better.
00:18:11Okay, dangerous sentence.
00:18:12Riley, I'm not interested in Ryan.
00:18:16That part I got painfully.
00:18:18And I don't want you to convince me.
00:18:22Great.
00:18:23Because I'm underqualified.
00:18:25I want you to stop pretending you don't feel this.
00:18:29Feel what?
00:18:32Static electricity.
00:18:33In sunlight?
00:18:35California is complicated.
00:18:38Look, you're beautiful.
00:18:40Terrifyingly beautiful.
00:18:41But I'm married.
00:18:44Are you happy?
00:18:46Does he hold your hand?
00:18:48Does he look for you in a room?
00:18:50Does he know how you take your coffee?
00:18:56I should go.
00:18:56Wait.
00:18:58What am I supposed to tell Ryan?
00:19:01Tell him the truth.
00:19:03Which truth?
00:19:08Tell him I don't want him.
00:19:12And tell yourself why that makes you nervous.
00:19:22What did she say?
00:19:23Riley!
00:19:24She said you should move on.
00:19:27You're lying.
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:30But not about the important part.
00:19:32What important part?
00:19:38You said you would help me.
00:19:40I said I was listening with my entire soul.
00:19:43That is legally different.
00:19:46Riley.
00:19:50Ryan, she doesn't want you.
00:19:51You don't know her.
00:19:52Neither do you.
00:19:53Careful.
00:19:54No.
00:19:55You be careful.
00:19:58You married me to make another woman jealous.
00:20:00That's not love.
00:20:01That's a rich man having a tantrum.
00:20:06Evelyn, tell her.
00:20:07Tell her what?
00:20:08That whatever this is, it's not about her.
00:20:11It is about her.
00:20:14What?
00:20:15Evelyn.
00:20:17I don't want you, Ryan.
00:20:18Then who do you want?
00:20:21Your wife.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24That sentence needs a warning label.
00:20:27You're joking.
00:20:29I'm not.
00:20:31Riley, I like women.
00:20:34And I like you.
00:20:38I won't force you.
00:20:40You met her three days ago.
00:20:42And you chased me for three years.
00:20:44Time didn't help you.
00:20:46I know this is sudden.
00:20:49Sudden?
00:20:49Evelyn, my brain just left my body.
00:20:51But I won't pretend for him.
00:20:53I need air.
00:20:54And possibly a new life.
00:20:57You humiliated me.
00:20:59No.
00:21:00I rejected you.
00:21:01You humiliated yourself.
00:21:04Clara!
00:21:06Bad date?
00:21:07It was not a date.
00:21:08It was a hostage situation with feelings.
00:21:11Mr. West lost?
00:21:12How do you always know?
00:21:13Men like him lose loudly.
00:21:15Riley, study now.
00:21:17If I die, delete my search history.
00:21:22What is that?
00:21:23Divorce papers.
00:21:24That was fast.
00:21:25This marriage was always temporary.
00:21:27Yes.
00:21:27But usually temporary jobs come with notice.
00:21:30I can't keep this relationship while Evelyn thinks you're my wife.
00:21:33Ryan, she doesn't think I'm your wife.
00:21:35I am your wife.
00:21:38On paper.
00:21:39Oh, now paper matters?
00:21:41You'll keep the house.
00:21:43And?
00:21:44That's all.
00:21:45You're giving me a mansion with no cash?
00:21:48It's worth millions.
00:21:50I can't eat marble floors, Ryan.
00:21:53You wanted a deal.
00:21:55This is the end of it.
00:21:59Fine.
00:22:01That's it?
00:22:03What did you expect?
00:22:04Tears?
00:22:05You were never my husband.
00:22:07You were payroll with abs.
00:22:09And for the record, Evelyn didn't misunderstand in anything.
00:22:12What does that mean?
00:22:13It means maybe the woman you love finally knows exactly what she wants.
00:22:18Damn it!
00:22:26Are you okay?
00:22:30Property tax, security system, pool maintenance, landscaping.
00:22:36Why does grass need a salary?
00:22:38Technically, George needs the salary.
00:22:40And I am worth every penny.
00:22:43I am house rich and cash dead.
00:22:51Congratulations, Riley. You own a mansion and fear cheese prices.
00:22:56Should I order dinner?
00:22:57No.
00:22:58We are financially elegant now.
00:23:00What does that mean?
00:23:04Pasta.
00:23:05Plain?
00:23:07With ambition.
00:23:13Evelyn?
00:23:14Clara told me you haven't been eating.
00:23:17I said it with concern.
00:23:21I'm cooking.
00:23:23You don't have to.
00:23:26I know.
00:23:28I want to.
00:23:32That woman is not visiting.
00:23:34She's moving in.
00:23:35My ex-husband took my allowance.
00:23:37His dream girl brought groceries.
00:23:39Honestly?
00:23:40Upgrade.
00:23:43You cook?
00:23:46Is that surprising?
00:23:47You look like someone who eats flowers and inheritance documents.
00:23:51I contain malt, I do.
00:23:54Mrs. Sterling, do you need anything else?
00:23:58Just her.
00:24:01For cooking?
00:24:03For company.
00:24:05Okay.
00:24:05This is aggressive.
00:24:07In a good way?
00:24:08In a suspiciously wife-like way.
00:24:10They need it.
00:24:10And eat like a suspiciously loved woman.
00:24:13She says things like that and expects me to remain normal?
00:24:22Marry the cook.
00:24:25George!
00:24:27He means generally.
00:24:29Generally, I agree.
00:24:33Is that...
00:24:35luggage?
00:24:37Just a few things.
00:24:38That suitcase is bigger than my emotional capacity.
00:24:41I'll only stay until you're eating properly.
00:24:44I ate dinner.
00:24:46Consistently.
00:24:49You moved in fast.
00:24:52Did I?
00:24:54You brought a silk robe.
00:24:59I'm a prepared woman.
00:25:00For what?
00:25:02For staying.
00:25:11Not visiting.
00:25:12Definitely moving in.
00:25:14I can hear you!
00:25:17Good.
00:25:18Then they can hear this too.
00:25:20I'm not going anywhere.
00:25:23Come on. Fight for me.
00:25:28Betrayal.
00:25:30Morning.
00:25:32Morning.
00:25:33Nothing.
00:25:33Nothing is happening.
00:25:35Your serum is empty.
00:25:38All of them?
00:25:39Baby.
00:25:41Are you broke?
00:25:42That is a hate crime.
00:25:44I'm not broke.
00:25:45I'm temporarily liquidity challenged.
00:25:49Ryan didn't give you cash.
00:25:51He gave me a house.
00:25:52Can you buy moisturize with a stair pace?
00:25:55Not yet.
00:25:56But capitalism is evolving.
00:26:02What are you doing?
00:26:04Fixing it.
00:26:07Evelyn?
00:26:08Deposit received.
00:26:10One million dollars.
00:26:12One million?
00:26:14Yes.
00:26:15Like, real million?
00:26:18I don't usually send fake ones.
00:26:22Evelyn, that has six zeros.
00:26:24Goes good.
00:26:26The bank didn't lose any.
00:26:28What he gave you, I can give you.
00:26:30And more gently.
00:26:33I can't take this.
00:26:35You can.
00:26:38Why?
00:26:40Because I want you comfortable.
00:26:43Ryan paid me because of a contract.
00:26:46I'm not Ryan.
00:26:48I don't pay you to stay away.
00:26:51I give because I want you close.
00:26:55That's manipulative.
00:26:57A little.
00:27:01Did it work?
00:27:10Why are we dressing me like I'm going to seduce a duke?
00:27:14Because it works.
00:27:16On dukes?
00:27:22On me.
00:27:25She keeps saying things.
00:27:27I keep surviving them.
00:27:29Barely.
00:27:35Did you ever love Ryan?
00:27:38That is a violent breakfast question.
00:27:41Answer me.
00:27:43No.
00:27:44Did you ever want him?
00:27:46Can we go back to taxes?
00:27:47Is this...
00:27:49Riley?
00:27:51No.
00:27:52Why?
00:27:53Because he's arrogant.
00:27:54Cold.
00:27:56Emotionally unavailable.
00:27:57Many women still wanted him.
00:27:59I'm not many women.
00:28:00No, you're not.
00:28:03Maybe you never wanted the kind of man everyone told you to want.
00:28:07I just don't fall in love easily.
00:28:10Or maybe you fall differently.
00:28:18Evelyn.
00:28:20Tell me to stop.
00:28:34Still think it's just static?
00:28:38California is very complicated.
00:28:46Mrs. Quinn is here.
00:28:48My mother?
00:28:52Perfect.
00:28:53Why did that sound planned?
00:29:00Mom.
00:29:01Is that new?
00:29:03Is that how you greet the woman who gave birth to you?
00:29:06If she's carrying a bag worth my student loans, yes.
00:29:10Mrs. Quinn.
00:29:11It's lovely to finally meet you.
00:29:13Finally?
00:29:14Evelyn has excellent manners.
00:29:16Mom.
00:29:16Have you two met before?
00:29:18Briefly.
00:29:20Briefly.
00:29:21The most suspicious word in motherhood.
00:29:23You and Ryan are divorced.
00:29:25That was not public information.
00:29:27I'm your mother.
00:29:28I have sources.
00:29:31Your source is blonde and sitting in my house.
00:29:34I would never gossip.
00:29:36Technically, I did.
00:29:37Enough.
00:29:38I'm not here to discuss Ryan.
00:29:40Why do you have a folder?
00:29:42Because your life needs structure.
00:29:45Daniel Brooks, Harvard MBA, private equity, owns three houses.
00:29:51Mom, your first date is tomorrow.
00:29:53I just got divorced.
00:29:55Exactly.
00:29:56Don't get rusty.
00:30:00Mom, I'm not going!
00:30:01You're unemployed, newly divorced, and living in a house you can barely maintain.
00:30:05You are going.
00:30:10You're quiet.
00:30:12I'm being mature.
00:30:15That sounds fake.
00:30:23Evelyn.
00:30:24Go.
00:30:25Really?
00:30:25Of course.
00:30:27Bring me his best offer.
00:30:29I'll double it.
00:30:32This is a menu.
00:30:36He has nice teeth.
00:30:39Teeth don't make a marriage.
00:30:41Thank you, George.
00:30:44But money helps.
00:30:46Also true.
00:30:49You look beautiful.
00:30:50For a date with a man.
00:30:53For yourself.
00:30:57Your mother told me you recently ended a marriage.
00:31:00She makes it sound like a gym membership.
00:31:02I admire honesty.
00:31:04I'm looking for something serious.
00:31:07I work in private equity.
00:31:09I travel often.
00:31:10But I believe in stability.
00:31:12Good job.
00:31:14Good suit.
00:31:14Good teeth.
00:31:15Nothing.
00:31:16What about you?
00:31:16What are you passionate about?
00:31:19Recently?
00:31:19Confusion.
00:31:21Sorry?
00:31:22I mean, art.
00:31:23I enjoy art.
00:31:24Favorite artist?
00:31:25On me.
00:31:26Blonde.
00:31:27Blonde?
00:31:28I meant Monet.
00:31:30How was he?
00:31:32Perfect.
00:31:33Which was the problem.
00:31:36He said all the right things.
00:31:37He looked fine.
00:31:38He had great teeth.
00:31:40And?
00:31:42Nothing.
00:31:44Maybe you should try harder.
00:31:45Why are you pushing me toward men?
00:31:48Because when you finally come to me.
00:31:50I want you to know you chose me.
00:31:54Not because I trapped you.
00:31:59Three more dates this week.
00:32:01Don't embarrass me.
00:32:02Three more men.
00:32:03And all I could think about was her.
00:32:07I went to Stanford.
00:32:08Then Wharton.
00:32:09Now I run a clean energy fund.
00:32:11Wow.
00:32:12Your resume has abs.
00:32:14Your mother said you like ambitious people.
00:32:16I'm not going anywhere.
00:32:19Ambitious?
00:32:19Evelyn moved into my house with a silk robe and no shame.
00:32:22I believe marriage should be a partnership.
00:32:25Healthy.
00:32:26Stable.
00:32:27Terrifyingly boring.
00:32:29This is my place in Aspen.
00:32:31I ski every winter.
00:32:32Very snowy.
00:32:34You'd love it.
00:32:34I would love going home.
00:32:36This piece explores loneliness in late capitalism.
00:32:39That painting looks like my bank account before Evelyn.
00:32:44Did he make you laugh?
00:32:47Do you find loneliness funny?
00:32:50Only when it texts me.
00:32:54How many perfect men failed today?
00:32:57Three and a half.
00:32:59Half?
00:33:00One of them had a great dog.
00:33:05What's wrong?
00:33:07Nothing.
00:33:11Riley.
00:33:13Did any of them make your heart race?
00:33:17No.
00:33:19Am I?
00:33:22That's probably anxiety.
00:33:24That's probably anxiety.
00:33:26Then I'm your favorite symptom.
00:33:33If this is more men, I'm joining a monastery.
00:33:36Open it.
00:33:43Mom.
00:33:45What?
00:33:47These are women.
00:33:49I have eyes.
00:33:51You're setting me up with women?
00:33:53You didn't like the men.
00:33:54So your next step was lesbians?
00:33:57My next step is figuring out what's wrong with you.
00:34:03Wow.
00:34:04Maternal warmth.
00:34:07You look nervous.
00:34:09I'm not nervous.
00:34:11You changed lipstick twice.
00:34:15That's called strategy.
00:34:18You didn't dress like this for the men.
00:34:20Because men don't notice details.
00:34:23Fair.
00:34:27You look beautiful.
00:34:31It's just a date.
00:34:33With a woman.
00:34:36With a person.
00:34:38Then let this person know you're taken.
00:34:41I am.
00:34:42Not officially.
00:34:44But I'm patient.
00:34:46Your mother said you're new to dating women.
00:34:49My mother should be legally muted.
00:34:52Don't worry.
00:34:53I think it's cute.
00:34:58Sophia is beautiful.
00:35:01So why am I comparing her to Evelyn?
00:35:03Mmm.
00:35:06Is she prettier than me?
00:35:10That smile is not for me, is it?
00:35:15I love cooking.
00:35:17Evelyn cooks better.
00:35:20I studied art history at UCLA.
00:35:23Evelyn owns half an art foundation.
00:35:25My family has a ranch in Montana.
00:35:29Evelyn has old money trauma and better hair.
00:35:32I'm a lot.
00:35:33Hope you can handle that.
00:35:34I already live with Evelyn Stellar.
00:35:36I'm in the advanced class.
00:35:40Bad date?
00:35:43Too many dates.
00:35:45That sounds lucky.
00:35:49Not when none of them are the person you want.
00:35:52The person you want.
00:35:58Oh no.
00:36:00What?
00:36:01I think I'm in trouble.
00:36:09Where's Evelyn?
00:36:11She went out.
00:36:12With who?
00:36:14A woman in a red dress picked her up.
00:36:17Red dress?
00:36:18Expensive car. Expensive attitude.
00:36:21That was jealousy.
00:36:22Disgusting.
00:36:26Don't wait up.
00:36:31You said you weren't waiting.
00:36:34It's 1 12 AM.
00:36:36I enjoy furniture at night.
00:36:42Fun night.
00:36:43Were you waiting for me?
00:36:46No.
00:36:46On the couch?
00:36:48The couch was lonely.
00:36:50Poor couch.
00:36:52Who was she?
00:36:53Who?
00:36:54Red dress.
00:36:55Expensive hand. Don't play dumb.
00:36:57Vanessa Shaw?
00:36:58Ryan's almost fiancé Vanessa?
00:37:00Society likes recycling bad ideas.
00:37:02Why were you with her?
00:37:03She wanted to warn me.
00:37:05About what?
00:37:07You.
00:37:08She said you're a broke ex-wife using me for money.
00:37:13Oh.
00:37:14I told her she was wrong.
00:37:17Good.
00:37:19Then I came home and found out you spent the day dating women.
00:37:23Did you touch them?
00:37:25What?
00:37:26Did they make you laugh?
00:37:28Evelyn, wait!
00:37:28Wait.
00:37:31I didn't want them.
00:37:34I kept comparing them to you.
00:37:39And?
00:37:43And they all lost.
00:37:45Say it.
00:37:48What?
00:37:49Say you missed me.
00:37:52You're very bossy for someone pretending to be delicate.
00:37:56I never said I was delicate.
00:37:58I said I was yours.
00:38:02I missed you.
00:38:10Again.
00:38:12Don't push it.
00:38:15Baby, I've been pushing it since Napa.
00:38:20I knew it.
00:38:22No, you didn't.
00:38:23You thought you were saving me.
00:38:26I was choosing you.
00:38:29That sounds manipulative.
00:38:31It was.
00:38:32But only because you're impossible.
00:38:35You are not sweet.
00:38:37I can be.
00:38:42See?
00:38:45That was unfair.
00:38:49Love usually isn't.
00:38:51I like you.
00:38:53Not because you gave me money.
00:38:56Mostly not.
00:38:59And not because I'm confused.
00:39:01I like you because when I'm with you,
00:39:04I feel awake.
00:39:07Then stay awake with me.
00:39:14Pick anything.
00:39:17You sound like a bad billionaire boyfriend.
00:39:22Better.
00:39:25How?
00:39:26I know what dress I want to take off you.
00:39:29Evelyn.
00:39:34Okay, be honest. Is this too-
00:39:41You and Riley?
00:39:46Tell me I'm wrong.
00:39:47You're wrong about many things.
00:39:50But not this.
00:39:53My ex-husband just found out his dream girl is dating his ex-wife.
00:39:59You're dating Riley?
00:40:02Yes.
00:40:04My ex-wife?
00:40:06Your ex-wife.
00:40:08My girlfriend.
00:40:09Girlfriend?
00:40:10Did we file paperwork?
00:40:12Did I miss a meeting?
00:40:14This is insane.
00:40:16No.
00:40:16What's insane is marrying a woman to make me jealous.
00:40:19You know why I married her?
00:40:21I do.
00:40:22Then you know she meant nothing.
00:40:24Don't say that.
00:40:25She signed a contract.
00:40:26She wanted money.
00:40:27And you wanted a wife you didn't have to respect.
00:40:32That doesn't make you better than her.
00:40:34You're defending her?
00:40:35Always.
00:40:36You barely know her.
00:40:38I know she laughs when she's hate cilantro.
00:40:42I know she pretends not to care when she cares too much.
00:40:45Do you know any of that?
00:40:49Riley.
00:40:52Surprise.
00:40:53You were listening?
00:40:54I was trying on clothes.
00:40:55The emotional disaster came to me.
00:40:58Did you enjoy this?
00:40:59No, but I did enjoy being defended.
00:41:05You used me.
00:41:08Ryan, you made yourself useful.
00:41:12Wait, what?
00:41:17You said if I divorced her you would consider it.
00:41:21Consider what, Riley?
00:41:25No.
00:41:26Tell her.
00:41:27Tell her you told me to divorce her and leave her with the house.
00:41:30Nothing else.
00:41:36Is that true?
00:41:38Partly.
00:41:40That is never a comforting answer.
00:41:43She played you.
00:41:46You don't get to say that.
00:41:47You made me divorce her.
00:41:50You wanted to.
00:41:51You wanted me so badly you were willing to throw her away.
00:41:55I didn't make him cool.
00:41:59I just let him show you.
00:42:01You told me you'd consider us.
00:42:03I said I would consider.
00:42:04Exactly.
00:42:05I was considering Riley.
00:42:09I wanted her free.
00:42:11Free?
00:42:13Or broke enough to need you?
00:42:15Riley.
00:42:16I never wanted to hurt you.
00:42:19But you did plan it.
00:42:22Both of you made decisions about my life like I was furniture.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28You're worse.
00:42:29And you.
00:42:31You made me feel chosen.
00:42:33Now I don't know if I was just managed.
00:42:36Baby, don't!
00:42:42Let her go.
00:42:44Move.
00:42:53Bad shopping?
00:42:54Bad girlfriend.
00:42:57Finally.
00:42:59What do you mean finally?
00:43:02I mean, finally?
00:43:04Tea?
00:43:10Can I talk to her?
00:43:11You can talk. I might throw things.
00:43:16Fair.
00:43:17Start from the beginning.
00:43:20I saw you in Napa.
00:43:22Before or after I saved you.
00:43:25Before.
00:43:29I noticed you before.
00:43:31And the hotels?
00:43:32I booked them.
00:43:33All of them?
00:43:35Most.
00:43:37Evelyn?
00:43:38All.
00:43:39The thunder?
00:43:40There was no thunder.
00:43:41The sickness?
00:43:43Emotionally real.
00:43:45That is not a medical condition.
00:43:47I wanted to be close to you.
00:43:50So you lied.
00:43:53I flirted strategically.
00:43:55That's rich people lying.
00:43:58Yes.
00:43:58I planned too much.
00:44:00But I didn't plan to fall this hard.
00:44:04You don't get to cry your way out of this.
00:44:06I know.
00:44:08Where are you going?
00:44:09You said you felt managed.
00:44:12So I'm leaving before I do it again.
00:44:14Evelyn!
00:44:15If you want me gone, I'll go.
00:44:19Do I pack her things?
00:44:20No!
00:44:22She planned the hotels.
00:44:24She planned the divorce.
00:44:26She planned the money.
00:44:27And now she planned to cry on my front steps?
00:44:32Absolutely not falling for it.
00:44:37Damn it.
00:44:40Are you seriously crying outside my house?
00:44:44I'm not trying to manipulate you.
00:44:46You say?
00:44:47While looking like an abandoned angel.
00:44:49I can leave.
00:44:50You keep saying that!
00:44:51Because if I stay, I'll want to fight for you.
00:44:54And I don't know how to walk quietly.
00:45:00You should choose freely.
00:45:03And if I choose you,
00:45:04then I'll probably ruin your life in very comfortable ways.
00:45:10But if you don't,
00:45:12I'll survive.
00:45:14Badly.
00:45:17You are impossible.
00:45:20But yours?
00:45:25Don't push it.
00:45:29Too late.
00:45:30I'm still mad.
00:45:33I know.
00:45:34You don't get to make decisions for me.
00:45:37I won't.
00:45:38Promise?
00:45:41I promise.
00:45:43Except one.
00:45:44What one?
00:45:49Marry me.
00:45:53I'm sorry, what?
00:45:54You asked me not to make decisions for you.
00:45:57So I'm asking.
00:46:00This woman weaponized consent.
00:46:04Marry you?
00:46:06Yes.
00:46:07We just had our first major fight.
00:46:09And survived.
00:46:10That is not a legal foundation.
00:46:13Love is.
00:46:14Love and your one million dollars?
00:46:17Also strong foundations.
00:46:19You are unbelievable.
00:46:21I don't want Ryan's name near you anymore.
00:46:24I don't want anyone calling you his ex-wife before they call you my wife.
00:46:28Fine.
00:46:29Hypothetically, if I said yes, we would need time.
00:46:32Flights.
00:46:33Documents.
00:46:34Plans.
00:46:35Evelyn?
00:46:37I may have arranged some options.
00:46:39Define options.
00:46:42Los Angeles to Paris.
00:46:44Tomorrow morning.
00:46:45Tomorrow?
00:46:46Flexible booking.
00:46:47You booked flights before asking me?
00:46:50I booked hope.
00:46:53That sentence is so manipulative and so good.
00:46:57Say yes.
00:46:59Yes.
00:47:01But if you plan one more thing without telling me-
00:47:03I won't!
00:47:05You already have, haven't you?
00:47:09I'm Tell Flowers.
00:47:12A photographer.
00:47:15I need legal protection.
00:47:21So it's true.
00:47:24Ryan West's ex-wife is now sleeping with Evelyn Sterling.
00:47:28Looks like the contract wife upgraded.
00:47:39Vanessa.
00:47:42Let's see how long this little romance survives society.
00:47:47Passport.
00:47:48ID.
00:47:50Divorce papers.
00:47:52Very romantic packing list.
00:47:54I can add lingerie.
00:47:57Evelyn.
00:47:58Riley, don't open the society group.
00:48:00That is exactly how you make me open it.
00:48:03Ryan West's ex-wife is now sleeping with Evelyn Sterling.
00:48:12Contract wife upgraded from West money to Sterling money.
00:48:17Gold digger with taste.
00:48:21Who posted this?
00:48:23Vanessa Shaw.
00:48:25Well, at least she thinks I have taste.
00:48:28Don't joke.
00:48:29If I don't joke, I might scream.
00:48:31Don't look so surprised, Ryan.
00:48:35You leaked this?
00:48:36I corrected the story.
00:48:38You made Riley look like she cheated.
00:48:40Didn't she?
00:48:41No.
00:48:42You're defending her now?
00:48:45Careful.
00:48:46First, Evelyn chose her.
00:48:48Don't tell me you're next.
00:48:50Where are you going?
00:48:52To end this?
00:48:54Evelyn, don't make it bigger!
00:48:57They called you a gold digger.
00:49:01I mean, technically I have a history.
00:49:05They touched what's mine.
00:49:08I am not property.
00:49:10No.
00:49:11You're not.
00:49:14But you are loved.
00:49:23Move tonight's charity dinner up.
00:49:25Invite everyone.
00:49:27Evelyn.
00:49:31If society wants a scandal, I'll give them a statement.
00:49:36I look like someone who knows which fork is for revenge.
00:49:42You look like mine.
00:49:45Still not property.
00:49:47Mine has been chosen.
00:49:56Riley Quinn.
00:49:57Brave of you to show up?
00:49:59Thanks.
00:50:00Brave is cheaper than therapy.
00:50:02Nice dress.
00:50:03Did Evelyn buy it?
00:50:05I did.
00:50:06Of course.
00:50:07Riley does seem experienced at being dressed by richer people.
00:50:10Careful, Vanessa.
00:50:11What?
00:50:12I'm only saying what everyone is thinking.
00:50:14First Ryan's contract wife.
00:50:16Now Evelyn's little project.
00:50:21Say that again.
00:50:22She's a project.
00:50:25Are you insane?!
00:50:27No.
00:50:28I'm being polite.
00:50:33Since everyone seems interested in my private life, let me make it simple.
00:50:38Riley Quinn is not Ryan West is left over.
00:50:41She is not a contract wife.
00:50:43Not a rumor.
00:50:45Not a toy for bored rich people.
00:50:48She is the woman I choose.
00:50:53How touching.
00:50:54But maybe everyone should see what kind of woman Evelyn chose.
00:50:58Marriage agreement between Ryan West and Riley Quinn.
00:51:03Let me read the best part.
00:51:05Vanessa, stop.
00:51:06Party B, Riley Quinn, agrees to maintain the appearance of marriage in exchange for a monthly allowance of $200,000.
00:51:14She was paid?
00:51:16That explains a lot.
00:51:21Don't listen to them.
00:51:24They're not wrong.
00:51:25You stood here like a tragic wereowin.
00:51:28But you sold yourself first to Ryan, then to Evelyn.
00:51:32Say one more word and you'll regret it.
00:51:35What?
00:51:35You prefer calling it love?
00:51:37Tell us, Riley.
00:51:39How much does Evelyn pay you now?
00:51:42That's enough.
00:51:43Don't tell me you're embarrassed.
00:51:45You wrote the contract.
00:51:49Riley, she's right.
00:51:51I need a minute.
00:51:55Running?
00:51:58No.
00:52:01Yes.
00:52:02I married Ryan West for money.
00:52:07And since everyone here is so shocked, I assume none of you ever married for money, power, status, or a
00:52:12last name.
00:52:15You wanted me ashamed.
00:52:16Sorry.
00:52:18I'm only mildly embarrassed.
00:52:20You admit it.
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:23I signed a contract.
00:52:25He wanted a wife who wouldn't bother him.
00:52:28I wanted money.
00:52:30We both got what we asked for.
00:52:32But here's the difference.
00:52:34I kept my side of the deal.
00:52:36I never lied to Ryan.
00:52:37I never pretended to love him.
00:52:39I never used his name after the divorce.
00:52:42But you?
00:52:44You stole a private document, twisted photos, and called it morality.
00:52:48I exposed you.
00:52:50No.
00:52:52You exposed the fact that rich people hate honest transactions unless they're the ones profiting.
00:52:58I'm proud of you.
00:53:00Don't make me cry.
00:53:01My eyeliner is expensive now.
00:53:04This doesn't change what she is.
00:53:06No.
00:53:08But it tells me what you are.
00:53:12Who is that?
00:53:14My mother.
00:53:16Riley Quinn.
00:53:17Ma'am.
00:53:18You've made enough noise.
00:53:19I defended the woman I loved.
00:53:22Love is private, sweetheart.
00:53:24A scandal is public.
00:53:26Come home.
00:53:28Now.
00:53:32Or I start freezing accounts before dessert.
00:53:39Freezing accounts?
00:53:41Don't do this here.
00:53:43You chose here.
00:53:45So this is the woman.
00:53:49Don't.
00:53:50I haven't said anything.
00:53:51That somehow made it worse.
00:53:53Evelyn.
00:53:54The car is waiting.
00:53:55I'm not leaving with you.
00:53:59Freeze the Foundation discretionary account.
00:54:03Mother.
00:54:04That was the small account.
00:54:06Would you like to test the family trust?
00:54:08Mrs. Sterling, Evelyn is an adult.
00:54:11Yes.
00:54:12Adults understand consequences.
00:54:14You were Ryan West's contract wife last week.
00:54:17Stop!
00:54:17And this week, you're my daughter's great love?
00:54:20Honestly, I'm also confused by the timeline.
00:54:22But I know I didn't ask her to risk anything for me.
00:54:24And yet she is.
00:54:25Because I want to.
00:54:27You come home tonight or tomorrow morning,
00:54:29the board receives a notice removing you from the Foundation.
00:54:34You should go.
00:54:35No.
00:54:37Evelyn.
00:54:38I just told a room full of people I choose you.
00:54:40And I'm choosing not to let you lose everything in one night.
00:54:44Don't make me leave you.
00:54:47Go.
00:54:47Fight smart.
00:54:49I'll come back.
00:54:50You better.
00:54:55Stay away from Evelyn or next time we release everything.
00:55:02Sebastian Vail arrives this afternoon.
00:55:05Why?
00:55:08Because your engagement dinner is tomorrow.
00:55:10No.
00:55:13That was not a question.
00:55:15I'm not marrying a man to clean up your embarrassment.
00:55:18You won't marry him tomorrow.
00:55:21You'll simply stand beside him and remind people what kind of woman you were raised to be.
00:55:26A silent one?
00:55:28A Sterling.
00:55:30Are you okay?
00:55:31Text me one word.
00:55:32Any word.
00:55:33Maybe her mother took her phone.
00:55:36News is out.
00:55:38Sterling family engagement dinner.
00:55:39Evelyn, Sterling and Sebastian Vahl.
00:55:42Sterling Harris reappears beside Veil Hare after charity scandal.
00:55:47Sources say engagement announcement expected tomorrow.
00:55:51Riley?
00:55:55Don't come for me.
00:55:57They'll hurt you.
00:55:58Riley, what are you doing?
00:56:01Exactly what she told me not to do.
00:56:03Going after her?
00:56:06She came for me when I had nothing.
00:56:08I'm not staying home because rich people learn threats.
00:56:11Then you'll need a dress.
00:56:12And a driver.
00:56:15You two are insane.
00:56:16This house has been boring for years.
00:56:19Let's ruin an engagement.
00:56:23Black says revenge.
00:56:26Red says scandal.
00:56:28What says I'm here to steal the bride?
00:56:31White.
00:56:35That's a lot.
00:56:36So is love.
00:56:40Car's ready.
00:56:41I used to marry for money.
00:56:44Now I was dressing up to fight old money.
00:56:47Tell me you're not going to that engagement dinner.
00:56:49I'm not going to that engagement dinner.
00:56:52I'm going to ruin it.
00:56:55Oh my God.
00:56:56I love growth.
00:56:58Are you scared?
00:57:02Terrified.
00:57:03Then why go?
00:57:05Because she thinks loving me made her lose everything.
00:57:08I need her to know she didn't lose me.
00:57:15Good line.
00:57:16Don't ruin my moment.
00:57:20Invitation?
00:57:22I'm not invited.
00:57:24Then you can't enter.
00:57:28Garden entrance.
00:57:30No cameras after nine.
00:57:33She gave you a map.
00:57:36Apparently my girlfriend plans for everything.
00:57:40Fine, Evelyn.
00:57:42You plan the map.
00:57:44You plan the map.
00:57:45But I'm choosing the rescue.
00:57:49You don't have to look so doomed.
00:57:52That's generous coming from the executioner.
00:57:55For what it's worth, I don't want this either.
00:57:59But our mothers enjoy moving us like furniture.
00:58:05Thank you all for joining us tonight.
00:58:10Family is not built on impulse.
00:58:13It is built on legacy.
00:58:16Go get your woman.
00:58:23Tonight, Sterling and Vale families honor a bond that has existed for generations.
00:58:30Last chance to faint.
00:58:32I don't faint.
00:58:34Shame, I practice catching.
00:58:36Don't put that on her.
00:58:39Riley.
00:58:41Security.
00:58:42I'm not here to make a scene.
00:58:44Okay.
00:58:45Maybe a small scene.
00:58:47You were warned to stay away.
00:58:49Yeah.
00:58:50I'm bad at following orders from people who threaten my girlfriend.
00:58:56Evelyn, I need one answer.
00:58:57Do not answer her.
00:58:58If you tell me you don't love me, I'll leave.
00:59:01I'll walk out.
00:59:02I won't fight.
00:59:02I won't embarrass you.
00:59:04But say it to my face.
00:59:07Remember who you are.
00:59:10Evelyn?
00:59:12If you answer her, you lose the foundation.
00:59:15You lose the trust.
00:59:18You lose the life she can never give you.
00:59:22Victoria, enough.
00:59:23This is family business.
00:59:25Let her answer.
00:59:26Come on, Riley.
00:59:27Did you really think an heiress would choose you over everything?
00:59:31First Ryan paid you to be his wife.
00:59:33Then Evelyn paid you to be her girlfriend.
00:59:36Shut up.
00:59:38Oh, she speaks.
00:59:40I don't need you to save me.
00:59:41I don't need your money, or your family name, or your perfect plans.
00:59:45I just need the truth.
00:59:47Do you love me?
00:59:47Evelyn, choose carefully.
00:59:50I'm so tired.
00:59:51What?
00:59:55Evelyn.
00:59:57I love you.
00:59:59I love you when you're loud.
01:00:01I love you when you're scared.
01:00:05I love you when you pretend money is the only thing you want.
01:00:09You really know how to make a scene.
01:00:12You came in white.
01:00:14Clara said it means stealing the bride, then steal me.
01:00:19If you walk out with her, you walk out alone.
01:00:23No.
01:00:24I walk out with her.
01:00:25This is ridiculous.
01:00:28No.
01:00:29This is the first honest thing tonight.
01:00:33I'm out, too.
01:00:35Sebastian.
01:00:36Tell my mother I behave badly.
01:00:37She'll be thrilled to have a new reason to hate me.
01:00:39I like him.
01:00:40Don't like him too much.
01:00:42Jealous at your own failed engagement?
01:00:44Bold.
01:00:45I warned you.
01:00:46I heard you.
01:00:47Freeze Evelyn's Pernal Trust access.
01:00:49Effective immediately.
01:00:50Immediately.
01:00:52Account access suspended.
01:00:54Evelyn.
01:00:54Well, that was rude.
01:00:56Foundation board notice goes out next.
01:00:59Then send it.
01:01:04I spent my whole life being the perfect Sterling daughter.
01:01:07Tonight, I choose to be mine.
01:01:10And hers.
01:01:14Did we steal the bride?
01:01:16I believe I stole myself.
01:01:18And lost the fortune?
01:01:20Sterling Foundation emergency board meeting scheduled.
01:01:24You lost everything.
01:01:25No.
01:01:27I lost leverage.
01:01:29I kept the only thing I wanted.
01:01:32Plan B. Release the rest.
01:01:35Let's see if love survives poverty and scandal.
01:01:41Sterling private card declined.
01:01:44Declined?
01:01:46Mother is thorough.
01:01:48Foundation email access suspended.
01:01:51Personal driver service terminated.
01:01:53Good thing I'm driving.
01:01:55Thank you, George.
01:01:57Stop reading them.
01:01:59If I don't read them, they still happen.
01:02:03You're staying here.
01:02:04Riley, I don't want to be another bill you can't afford.
01:02:07You brought me groceries when I was eating depression pasta.
01:02:10Depression pasta?
01:02:11Plain pasta with ambition.
01:02:14My turn.
01:02:16I can't give you a trust fund, but I can give you a room, food, coffee, bad jokes.
01:02:24And me.
01:02:28That's not nothing.
01:02:30It's not a million dollars.
01:02:34No.
01:02:39It's better.
01:02:43Hey.
01:02:45I used to solve everything with money.
01:02:50It was effective.
01:02:53What if I'm not charming without it?
01:02:56Evelyn Sterling, are you fishing for compliments while broke?
01:02:59Maybe.
01:03:02You are annoying.
01:03:04Manipulative.
01:03:06Dramatic.
01:03:07And still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
01:03:11Good.
01:03:13Good?
01:03:15Because I'm your broke girlfriend now.
01:03:20God help me.
01:03:26That's my shirt.
01:03:28I'm broke.
01:03:29I have to borrow.
01:03:34That is financial harassment.
01:03:38Is it working?
01:03:41I'm making breakfast.
01:03:45You're staring at eggs like they betrayed you.
01:03:48They know what they did.
01:03:54Tell me the runaway heiress is alive.
01:03:57Barely.
01:03:58Riley tried to feed me eggs.
01:03:59They are gourmet eggs.
01:04:01They're nervous eggs.
01:04:03Okay, cute.
01:04:05But listen, Vanessa isn't done.
01:04:07She's pushing a story that Evelyn manipulated Ryan into the divorce, then bought you with money.
01:04:15She's not entirely wrong.
01:04:16About the money part, not the bought part.
01:04:19There's more.
01:04:20Vanessa claims she has proof.
01:04:22What proof?
01:04:23Texts.
01:04:24Edited photos.
01:04:25Maybe fake bank records.
01:04:29I'll call my attorney.
01:04:34Riley.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36You've been fighting for me since Napa.
01:04:39Badly.
01:04:40Secretly.
01:04:41Sometimes illegally in spirit.
01:04:43Now it's my turn.
01:04:45What are you gonna do?
01:04:48What are you gonna do?
01:04:51We find out what Vanessa has.
01:04:53Finally.
01:04:55Crime with purpose.
01:04:56And then we make her regret touching my broke girlfriend.
01:04:59Your broke girlfriend?
01:05:05Don't make it weird.
01:05:07Too late.
01:05:11Vanessa's story has three points.
01:05:14One.
01:05:14Riley cheated during marriage.
01:05:17Two.
01:05:18Evelyn paid Riley to leave Ryan.
01:05:22Three.
01:05:23Ryan was the victim.
01:05:27Ryan as victim?
01:05:28That's ambitious fiction.
01:05:31Bad genre.
01:05:32These photos are cropped.
01:05:35This one makes it look like you and Evelyn were close before the divorce.
01:05:39That was the day Ryan hid behind a tree.
01:05:43He's very bad at it.
01:05:45Exactly.
01:05:46Full photo shows Ryan standing ten feet away.
01:05:50Timestamp is after he asked you to meet Evelyn.
01:05:52You kept the original?
01:05:54I keep everything.
01:05:58That is romantic and alarming.
01:06:00Vanessa claims Evelyn paid you before the divorce.
01:06:04But the transfer was after the divorce filing.
01:06:08She changed the date.
01:06:10And badly.
01:06:12Who helped her get the contract?
01:06:15It came from West Family Legal.
01:06:18Ryan?
01:06:19Not Ryan.
01:06:20His uncle, Charles West.
01:06:22West Family wanted the scandal too.
01:06:25I'll put it on speaker.
01:06:27Riley.
01:06:29If you're calling to apologize, speak clearly.
01:06:31I'm recording emotionally.
01:06:34Vanessa is lying.
01:06:36And my family helped her.
01:06:39Meet me tomorrow.
01:06:41I'll give you what you need.
01:06:42And why should we trust you?
01:06:44Because I threw Riley away once.
01:06:47I won't help them do it again.
01:06:50Wow.
01:06:51My life has terrible seating arrangements.
01:06:55Thank you for coming.
01:06:56We came for evidence.
01:06:58You still don't waste words.
01:07:00Not on you.
01:07:01Sharp opening.
01:07:06Charles sent the contract to Vanessa.
01:07:08He wanted the scandal to damage Sterling before the West Board vote.
01:07:12This was never just about me and Riley.
01:07:14No.
01:07:14Vanessa wanted you humiliated.
01:07:16Charles wanted both families destabilized.
01:07:19Use the contract wife angle.
01:07:21Public sympathy will favor Ryan.
01:07:23Congratulations.
01:07:25You were marketable trauma.
01:07:28I didn't know.
01:07:31I owe you an apology.
01:07:33I treated you like a placeholder.
01:07:35I thought because you signed the contract I didn't have to respect you.
01:07:38I was wrong.
01:07:39That's probably the most emotionally available thing you've ever said.
01:07:44I'm learning.
01:07:45Late.
01:07:47I know.
01:07:48I loved an idea of you.
01:07:50I'm sorry for turning that into your problem.
01:07:54Apology noted.
01:07:55That's all.
01:07:56He'll survive.
01:07:58Riley.
01:08:05The original contract with my notes.
01:08:09It proves the marriage was over before you and Evelyn started anything.
01:08:13Why give me this?
01:08:17Because for once, I want to be useful without hurting you.
01:08:26Victoria called an emergency Sterling board hearing tomorrow.
01:08:30Agenda, Evelyn's removal, Riley Quinn's scandal review.
01:08:34That's not a board meeting.
01:08:36It's a trial.
01:08:43This room smells like money and judgment.
01:08:47Stay close.
01:08:50I'm not the one on trial.
01:08:52Actually, Miss Quinn, today you both are.
01:08:54Emergency review of Evelyn Sterling's conduct, foundation reputation risk, and associated scandal involving Riley Quinn.
01:09:02Wow.
01:09:03I made the agenda.
01:09:05You were entrusted with this foundation because you represented restraint.
01:09:09And now your name is tied to a contract wife, manipulated money transfers, and a public romantic spectacle.
01:09:16Riley.
01:09:18Riley did nothing wrong.
01:09:19Then she won't mind answering questions.
01:09:22Vanessa.
01:09:24It's fine.
01:09:26Miss Quinn, did you accept one million dollars from Evelyn Sterling shortly after divorcing Ryan West?
01:09:32Yes.
01:09:35Did you marry Ryan West for money?
01:09:38Yes.
01:09:39Did you then enter a relationship with Evelyn Sterling, another wealthy heir?
01:09:44Yes.
01:09:46No further questions.
01:09:48I have one.
01:09:50This is not your proceeding.
01:09:52Funny.
01:09:53Everyone keeps saying that about my life.
01:09:55You want to question me?
01:09:57Then question me first.
01:09:59You protected me in that ballroom.
01:10:02Let me protect you in this one.
01:10:05Very well.
01:10:07Let's see what you're worth without Evelyn speaking for you.
01:10:13Good.
01:10:14Because I brought receipts.
01:10:21Evidence?
01:10:22From you?
01:10:23I know.
01:10:24Shocking.
01:10:25The contract wife can read.
01:10:28Proceed.
01:10:29Timeline of the so-called affair.
01:10:31This photo was posted to suggest Evelyn and I were involved before my divorce.
01:10:37But the full photo shows Ryan standing right there.
01:10:41Badly hidden, but present.
01:10:43It's true.
01:10:45Ryan asked me to meet Evelyn that day.
01:10:46I asked Riley Quinn to contact Evelyn Sterling on my behalf after the marriage separation discussion began.
01:10:53That doesn't explain the money.
01:10:55Great.
01:10:55I love transitions.
01:10:57This is the transfer Vanessa posted.
01:10:59And this is the real one.
01:11:00Vanessa changed the date to make it look like Evelyn paid me before the divorce.
01:11:04That's fabricated.
01:11:05Nope.
01:11:05Hi.
01:11:06Social media strategist.
01:11:07Terrible sleep schedule.
01:11:09Excellent Matabeta skills.
01:11:10The edits were made from Vanessa Shaw's office network.
01:11:12You didn't expose a scandal.
01:11:15You built one.
01:11:17Is this true?
01:11:18I was protecting the Sterling reputation.
01:11:21By destroying mine?
01:11:23You destroyed it yourself.
01:11:25Fine.
01:11:26Maybe I edited dates.
01:11:28But does it matter?
01:11:30Evelyn still manipulated Ryan into the divorce.
01:11:32She booked the hotels.
01:11:33She staged the helpless act.
01:11:35She arranged the money, the mother, the dates.
01:11:37Your perfect victim is not a victim.
01:11:40She's the hunter.
01:11:43Evelyn?
01:11:44What is she talking about?
01:11:47She saw Riley in Napa before the harassment incident.
01:11:51She booked every nearby hotel so Riley would bring her home.
01:11:54We talked about that.
01:11:57Did you talk about your mother?
01:12:01Mom?
01:12:02Evelyn spent weeks charming Margaret Quinn.
01:12:06Then magically, Riley's mother started arranging female dates.
01:12:11Riley, I can explain.
01:12:13Did you arrange the women?
01:12:18Evelyn.
01:12:20Some of them.
01:12:23All of them.
01:12:25Not all.
01:12:28That's your defense?
01:12:30I wanted you to see your choice clearly.
01:12:33By arranging the choices?
01:12:37You manipulated everyone.
01:12:40I learned from you.
01:12:42Yes, I planned.
01:12:44I planned the hotels.
01:12:46The timing.
01:12:47The excuses.
01:12:50I planned ways to be near you because I was terrified if I asked directly, you'd laugh and walk away.
01:12:56I planned badly.
01:12:58But loving you was never a plan.
01:13:01It was the only honest thing that happened to me.
01:13:04Touching.
01:13:05But she admitted it.
01:13:07You were not loved.
01:13:09You were managed.
01:13:11If you walk away now, I won't stop here.
01:13:16You said I couldn't choose for you.
01:13:19So choose.
01:13:21Riley.
01:13:24You're unbelievable.
01:13:26And exhausting.
01:13:27And unfortunately...
01:13:30Still mine.
01:13:37Riley.
01:13:39I'm still mad.
01:13:40I know.
01:13:42Like, emotionally suing you.
01:13:45Fair.
01:13:47You planned too much.
01:13:49You scared me.
01:13:51But Vanessa's wrong.
01:13:56I was not managed into loving her.
01:13:59I dated men.
01:14:00I dated women.
01:14:01I tried very hard to want anyone else.
01:14:04I failed because none of them were her.
01:14:07Yes, she set traps.
01:14:09Annoying ones.
01:14:11Expensive ones.
01:14:12Honestly, very well decorated ones.
01:14:14But I walked into love with my eyes open.
01:14:18And I'm staying because I want to.
01:14:24You're pathetic.
01:14:25No, Vanessa.
01:14:30Pathetic is forging bank records because the woman you envy didn't pick the life you wanted.
01:14:36You know nothing about me.
01:14:39I know enough.
01:14:40And we know Vanessa paid the tabloid.
01:14:42Wire transfer from Shaw Holdings to Pierce Media marked reputation consultation.
01:14:47You used my family name to stage a public attack.
01:14:50I was protecting you.
01:14:51You were protecting your access.
01:14:56Remove Shaw Holdings from all upcoming Sterling Foundation partnerships.
01:15:00Victoria!
01:15:01And have legal review the defamation.
01:15:03That was hot.
01:15:04My mother?
01:15:05The consequences.
01:15:07Do not mistake this for approval.
01:15:10Then what is it?
01:15:14A beginning.
01:15:19This isn't over.
01:15:21Great.
01:15:21I love sequels with worse villains.
01:15:27You may keep your foundation position.
01:15:30With conditions.
01:15:33No.
01:15:34I haven't stated them.
01:15:35That's why I'm saying no early.
01:15:38Efficient.
01:15:39I won't hide Riley.
01:15:41I won't attend dinners with men you consider suitable.
01:15:44And I won't apologize for loving her.
01:15:46You speak as if the Sterling name means nothing.
01:15:50It means everything.
01:15:52That was the problem.
01:15:53I spent my life trying to be worthy of the name.
01:15:56But I never asked if the name was worthy of me.
01:15:58I want a life where my love is not treated like a scandal.
01:16:02I want a home where Riley doesn't have to prove she is not for sale.
01:16:06And if Sterling cannot give me that, I'll build my own name.
01:16:09You would really give up everything for her?
01:16:11No.
01:16:12I would give up control for myself.
01:16:15She just made freedom worth wanting.
01:16:17Vanessa is finished.
01:16:20That sounded satisfying.
01:16:23It is.
01:16:23I finally understand why you never chose me.
01:16:26I wanted you to fit into my life.
01:16:28She walked into yours and made you change it.
01:16:30I mostly complained.
01:16:33That too.
01:16:34You look happy.
01:16:36I am.
01:16:37Then I'm done being in the way.
01:16:46No.
01:16:48You don't know what they are.
01:16:50Los Angeles to Paris again?
01:16:52Ready to marry me for real.
01:16:54Did you at least ask this time?
01:16:56I'm asking now.
01:17:02I can't believe I'm getting married again.
01:17:05Regret?
01:17:06No.
01:17:08Just noticing a pattern.
01:17:10Marrying rich people.
01:17:13Marrying emotionally complicated rich people.
01:17:16I'm working on it.
01:17:18You planned anything I should know about?
01:17:20Flowers, lunch, one photographer, and your mother.
01:17:27Don't yell.
01:17:28I brought tissues.
01:17:29Mom!
01:17:30She asked this time.
01:17:31I asked.
01:17:34Do you, Evelyn Sterling, take Riley Quinn as your lawful wife?
01:17:38I do.
01:17:39And do you, Riley Quinn, take Evelyn Sterling as your lawful wife?
01:17:44I do.
01:17:45Even though she's terrifyingly organized.
01:17:48And even though she makes terrible eggs.
01:17:50They were improving.
01:17:52You may kiss.
01:17:57Do they have skin care stores nearby?
01:17:59Mom!
01:18:00We just got married.
01:18:02Exactly.
01:18:03I deserve gifts.
01:18:06I already made an appointment.
01:18:08Evelyn!
01:18:09With permission.
01:18:11Good wife.
01:18:13Congratulations.
01:18:14Be happy.
01:18:16Thinking about him?
01:18:19Jealous of my ex-husband on our wedding day?
01:18:23A little.
01:18:25I married Ryan for money.
01:18:28I married Evelyn because she made me feel alive.
01:18:32And because I'm rich.
01:18:35That too.
01:18:36Come on, wife.
01:18:39Lead the way, dream girl.
01:18:44My husband's dream girl wanted me.
01:18:47And honestly...
01:18:48And honestly...
01:18:49Great taste.
01:18:51Great taste.
