00:00:00My name's Evelyn. I fix computers by day, and I fix computers by night.
00:00:06Only difference is, date times for regular people.
00:00:10Nighttime? I patch up the world's firewall.
00:00:13Before my mother died, she left a will.
00:00:15Marry within three years, or the entire inheritance goes to charity.
00:00:20Tomorrow's the deadline.
00:00:21And me? I don't even have a boyfriend.
00:00:26Mr. Landon, Eva just announced on social media she's calling off the engagement.
00:00:29It hasn't gone viral yet, but if we don't contain this before the market opens tomorrow...
00:00:33How much does the company lose?
00:00:35At least 10 billion.
00:00:42Is that her?
00:00:50You okay? What the hell was that? You ran a red...
00:01:02You changed lanes without signaling. Pull the dash can't shant footage. This one's on you.
00:01:07You... you're hurt.
00:01:09Send the repair bill to this address. You've got three days. After that, don't bother.
00:01:15I don't know this. Should I investigate?
00:01:19Would you be willing to marry me?
00:01:22Are you serious?
00:01:23Mutual benefit. What do you need?
00:01:26A marriage license. Today.
00:01:29Deal. But first, you have to do something for me.
00:01:31What?
00:01:39What did you bring me here for? I thought we agreed. Just the license.
00:01:43You do this for me, I get you the license. Fair trade.
00:01:50Everyone, I'd like you to meet someone. This is my fiance, Evelyn.
00:02:05What are you doing?
00:02:11Marry.
00:02:11Marry me.
00:02:13Are you insane? This is fake?
00:02:16Fake is exactly why we have to sell it.
00:02:22My mother's will says the lawyers will verify the marriage is genuine.
00:02:25If they catch us faking it, I lose the intents anyway.
00:02:41Pierce Tech? That AI startup that's blowing up right now?
00:02:57So you're Landon's new fiance?
00:02:59A leather jacket? At your own engagement party?
00:03:02Honey, did you get lost on the way to a biker bar?
00:03:04I heard she fixes computers. Like, actually fixes them.
00:03:08Is Landon having some kind of breakdown?
00:03:10Let me give you some friendly advice.
00:03:12Landon's just using you to shut the media up.
00:03:14Once this blows over, you're nothing.
00:03:17You done?
00:03:20Great, I'm going back inside. It's freezing out here.
00:03:23You actually think Landon likes you?
00:03:24You're not even worth a single strand of his ex-girlfriend's hair.
00:03:27Then tell his ex-girlfriend to come wear this ring.
00:03:30Where is she?
00:03:31What are you so smug about?
00:03:32Landon will forget you exist by tomorrow.
00:03:34We've seen plenty of temp fiancés like you.
00:03:36Exactly.
00:03:37You think a ring makes you Mrs. Pierce?
00:03:39Do you even know who his ex is?
00:03:41Eva Green.
00:03:42Hair assist to green group.
00:03:43That's his league.
00:03:44And you?
00:03:45What are you exactly?
00:03:47Eva Green.
00:03:48The one who just dumped him today?
00:03:50And?
00:03:50Right now, I'm the one wearing his ring.
00:03:53You!
00:03:59What are we talking about?
00:04:03Landon! We were just congratulating her.
00:04:06Congratulating? Sounded more like you were cornering my fiancée.
00:04:09No, no!
00:04:11We were just chatting!
00:04:13Anyone giving you a hard time?
00:04:15No.
00:04:15They were just teaching me how to be a temp fiancée.
00:04:19Temp?
00:04:21Evelyn is my fiancée.
00:04:22Anyone who disrespects her, disrespects me.
00:04:26Are we clear?
00:04:30You didn't have to do that.
00:04:32I don't care what they say.
00:04:33I do.
00:04:35You're my fiancée.
00:04:37As long as you hold that title, no one gets to mess with you.
00:04:42You're a pretty good actor.
00:04:44Professionalism.
00:04:45It's getting cold. I'm going in.
00:04:49Felix, get me a wedding planner.
00:04:50Now?
00:04:51It's past 11.
00:04:52I said now.
00:04:54On it.
00:04:55I'm giving Evelyn the wedding of the century.
00:05:03Where were you last night?
00:05:05Out all night?
00:05:06Have you no decency?
00:05:08None of your business.
00:05:11Mom, look at this.
00:05:12Is this Evelyn?
00:05:13The one in the leather jacket at that party?
00:05:23Oh my god, it is.
00:05:27Fixing computers all day and she can't even find a decent dress.
00:05:33Evelyn, you're not getting any younger.
00:05:35You need to think about your future.
00:05:39Her future?
00:05:41What future?
00:05:42No boyfriend, face glued to a screen 24-7.
00:05:47Mom, leave her alone.
00:05:48Who'd want her anyway?
00:05:53Am I wrong?
00:05:54Look at you.
00:05:5524 years old.
00:05:57No real job.
00:05:58No boyfriend.
00:05:59Not a single date in your life.
00:06:01You really think you're getting that inheritance?
00:06:03Yeah.
00:06:04The will's pretty clear.
00:06:06You have to be married.
00:06:07Who's going to marry you?
00:06:09Your stepmother's right.
00:06:11That inheritance, just let it go.
00:06:14You're not getting it.
00:06:16Who says I'm not?
00:06:20And how exactly do you plan to pull that off?
00:06:24Find some random guy to sign a paper?
00:06:26You think the lawyers won't see right through that?
00:06:29You can't even find a man desperate enough to fake it with you.
00:06:34Sis, get real.
00:06:35This is your life now.
00:06:37No man, no money, stuck in this house forever.
00:06:43Just accept it.
00:06:45I will get my mother's inheritance.
00:06:47Soon.
00:06:48And when I do, I'm leaving this place and I am never coming back.
00:06:58Soon?
00:06:59How soon?
00:07:00Gonna find a husband by tomorrow?
00:07:03Mom, stop.
00:07:04If she pulls that off, I'll eat my words.
00:07:17Miss Carter residence?
00:07:19Delivery for you?
00:07:23For me?
00:07:40Oh my God.
00:07:41This is a custom wedding gown.
00:07:44It's Maison Del Vaux.
00:07:45This fabric.
00:07:47This stitching.
00:07:48How much did this cost?
00:07:54Tomorrow night, 7 o'clock, Pierce Estate.
00:07:56I can't wait to see you, LP.
00:07:58Mom!
00:07:59Landon, he wants to marry me!
00:08:00I knew it!
00:08:01I knew he was into me at that gala!
00:08:02I knew it!
00:08:03I just knew it!
00:08:04Are Selina's marrying in the Pierce Tech?
00:08:06What other Pierce is there?
00:08:13Remember?
00:08:14When Landon shows up, play it cool.
00:08:16Don't look too eager.
00:08:17Mom, relax.
00:08:18I know what I'm doing.
00:08:19Our Selina looks stunning tonight.
00:08:21Landon's gonna take one look at you and be sold.
00:08:23Of course he will.
00:08:24I'm the one he personally invited.
00:08:32Well, well.
00:08:33Look who decided to show up, baby sis.
00:08:36You came dressed like that?
00:08:38To an event like this?
00:08:39Have you no shame?
00:08:41Mom, go easy on her.
00:08:43It's probably the only decent thing she owns.
00:08:45Evelyn, tonight is your sister's big moment.
00:08:47Don't cause any trouble.
00:08:49Trouble?
00:08:49I'm just here for the party.
00:08:54Why are you really here?
00:08:57Hoping to catch Landon's eye?
00:09:00You actually think he'd look twice at you?
00:09:02What if you're not the one he's marrying?
00:09:10What?
00:09:11What?
00:09:12Marry you?
00:09:13I'm sorry.
00:09:13What did you just say?
00:09:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:09:19I'm saying, what if I'm the one he's here to marry?
00:09:31Come in.
00:09:33Mr. Landon, that hacker you asked me to track down?
00:09:36I've got something.
00:09:37Go on.
00:09:38Codename E.
00:09:39Three years ago, she breached the Pentagon's backup systems.
00:09:42Walked away clean.
00:09:43The NSA hunted her for two years.
00:09:45Never even got a real name.
00:09:47She?
00:09:47Yes.
00:09:48Every lead planes to the same conclusion.
00:09:50It's a woman.
00:09:54What else?
00:09:55Her skill set is leads beyond any white hat hacker we've got on record.
00:09:58Some say she's self-taught.
00:09:59Others think she's got a team behind her.
00:10:01But the one thing everyone agrees on, which is,
00:10:03she doesn't do it for the money, she does it for the thrill.
00:10:05If the job bores her, you couldn't pay her enough to take it.
00:10:07Interesting.
00:10:08Her location's a ghost.
00:10:10Sometimes Europe, sometimes Asia.
00:10:12Last time someone managed to ping her signal, it came from a coffee shop in some random residential neighborhood.
00:10:18And then...
00:10:19Signal vanished in three seconds.
00:10:22Never picked it up again.
00:10:23I want her found, whatever it takes.
00:10:26Understood.
00:10:27I'll keep digging.
00:10:29Is everything set for tonight?
00:10:31Pierce estate is ready.
00:10:32Guest list confirmed.
00:10:33Security team's in position.
00:10:40Let's go.
00:10:47Marry you?
00:10:48Mom, did you hear what she just said?
00:10:50I heard.
00:10:50I heard.
00:10:51She says Landon's going to marry her.
00:10:53Who's the woman in the black dress?
00:10:54I think that's Selena's sister.
00:10:55The one who fixes computers.
00:10:57The IT girl?
00:10:57And she just said Landon's marrying her?
00:10:59Delusional much?
00:11:00Let me make this crystal clear.
00:11:02Landon invited me.
00:11:03The gown was delivered to me.
00:11:04The card was addressed to me.
00:11:06What exactly do you think you are?
00:11:08You fix computers for a living.
00:11:10Wake up.
00:11:11Evelyn, don't embarrass yourself.
00:11:13Come with me.
00:11:13Now.
00:11:14The card said, the Carter residence.
00:11:18The gown was delivered to that address.
00:11:20No name was on it.
00:11:23So what?
00:11:24Everyone knows Landon meant me.
00:11:26I'm the eldest daughter.
00:11:29Exactly.
00:11:30The eldest daughter is the only one who matters.
00:11:33Then let's see who Landon is really here for, shall we?
00:11:40Don't waste your breath on her.
00:11:41She's just jealous.
00:11:43Can't land a man herself.
00:11:44So she's here to ruin yours.
00:11:47You're right, Mom.
00:11:48I don't need to stoop to her level.
00:11:50Oh, by the way, sis.
00:11:52If you're really that desperate to get married,
00:11:54I can set you up with someone.
00:11:57Miss, care to make an acquaintance?
00:12:01Hey, gorgeous.
00:12:03What about me?
00:12:03I'm no Landon Pierce, but at least I'm available.
00:12:08What do you do?
00:12:10My dad owns a hotel chain.
00:12:12So you do nothing?
00:12:15Evelyn, that's enough.
00:12:17You don't get to make a scene here.
00:12:19Evelyn, just admit it.
00:12:20You can't stand that Landon chose me over you.
00:12:23For the last time, Landon never chose you.
00:12:25The gown came to our house?
00:12:27The invitation said Miss Carter.
00:12:29If that's not choosing me, what is?
00:12:32Mr. Landon Pierce's motorcade has arrived.
00:12:34He will be entering in three minutes.
00:12:46Selena, remember.
00:12:47When Landon walks in, smile.
00:12:50But not too much.
00:12:51Be elegant.
00:12:53I know, Mom.
00:12:54I've rehearsed this a hundred times.
00:12:57No.
00:12:57She can't be here.
00:12:59What if she goes crazy and runs her mouth?
00:13:01Ruins everything for Selena?
00:13:02She wouldn't.
00:13:04Do you even know her?
00:13:06She's never listened to us a day in her life.
00:13:08What if she tells Landon some insane story about the two of them?
00:13:12Mom's right.
00:13:14She can't be in here.
00:13:18Evelyn, come with me for a moment.
00:13:21I still have some of your mother's things.
00:13:23I've been meaning to give them to you.
00:13:24What things?
00:13:26Things your mother left for you before she passed.
00:13:29I've kept them all this time.
00:13:31Come on, let me give them to you now.
00:13:33They're inside.
00:13:35Go on.
00:13:36Go get them yourself.
00:13:42What are you doing?
00:13:44Let go of me!
00:13:45Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:13:47Stop struggling.
00:13:48Just sit tight.
00:13:55We'll let you out when the wedding's over.
00:14:00Don't blame me.
00:14:01You brought this on yourself.
00:14:05You really think you can keep me locked up?
00:14:16Layden.
00:14:17You're here.
00:14:18I've been waiting.
00:14:30Where's Evelyn?
00:14:40I'll ask again.
00:14:42Where is Evelyn Carter?
00:14:50Landon, there must be some mistake.
00:14:52I'm Selina.
00:14:54I'm the one you invited.
00:14:56The gown was delivered to my house.
00:14:58The card said Miss Carter.
00:14:59The gown was delivered to Evelyn's house.
00:15:02The card said Miss Carter.
00:15:04I never said it was you.
00:15:08That's impossible!
00:15:10You spoke to Selina at the gala.
00:15:12You clearly...
00:15:13I don't remember her.
00:15:17Mr. Pierce, there has to be a misunderstanding.
00:15:19My eldest daughter, Selina, she's the one...
00:15:21I don't know your eldest daughter.
00:15:23There's only one person I know.
00:15:25Evelyn.
00:15:30Evelyn Carter is my fiancée.
00:15:32She is the one I invited tonight.
00:15:34She is the one I married.
00:15:35Oh my god, so Landon's marrying the sister?
00:15:38The one who fixes computers?
00:15:39Selina's been standing here in a wedding gown this whole time.
00:15:42This is beyond humiliating.
00:15:44This family is a complete mess.
00:15:47This can't be.
00:15:48You're lying.
00:15:50The gown was delivered to my house.
00:15:52I'm the eldest Carter daughter.
00:15:54The gown was delivered to that address.
00:15:55That address is where Evelyn lives.
00:15:57Who you are, I don't care.
00:15:58Did she not come?
00:16:04Tonight's event is over.
00:16:05Thank all for coming.
00:16:16One more thing.
00:16:17That gowns was meant for Evelyn.
00:16:19I'd like it returned.
00:16:25Looks like she played me.
00:16:27She never actually wanted to go through with this.
00:16:31Mr. Landon!
00:16:32Wait!
00:16:33Mr. Landon!
00:16:34The hacker!
00:16:35We've got a lead!
00:16:40What did you say?
00:16:41Three minutes ago, our team picked up a signal from E.
00:16:44The source is right here.
00:16:46Here?
00:16:47On Pierce Estate?
00:16:48Yes!
00:16:49Inside the Estate.
00:16:50The signal is extremely strong.
00:16:52Location accuracy within 10 meters.
00:16:56She's on my property?
00:16:57Yes, Mr. Landon.
00:16:58The signal originates from inside the Estate.
00:17:01Specific location.
00:17:02The side wing.
00:17:03Near the storage room.
00:17:05The storage room.
00:17:06Mr. Landon, where are you going?
00:17:08That storage room.
00:17:09Now!
00:17:17Mr. Landon, should I call for backup?
00:17:19What if there's something?
00:17:29Wait.
00:17:31Miss Evelyn?
00:17:32Is...
00:17:33Is E?
00:17:39The signal.
00:17:40It's gone.
00:17:41Could be interference.
00:17:42Or maybe we got it wrong.
00:17:53What happened tonight,
00:17:54no one else hears about it.
00:17:56Understood?
00:17:57Yes, sir.
00:18:22Evelyn Carter is my wife.
00:18:25Tonight was for her.
00:18:27Everything was for her.
00:18:28If anyone ever lays a hand on her,
00:18:31anyone,
00:18:32I will make them pay.
00:18:34You have my word.
00:18:50Where are we going?
00:18:52Church.
00:18:57No guests, no photos, no press.
00:19:00What makes the lawyers believe this marriage is real?
00:19:01Lawyers look at signatures,
00:19:03not photos.
00:19:04You sign, you get your inheritance,
00:19:05I get my peace.
00:19:06Simple.
00:19:18You're...
00:19:19Now?
00:19:20It's almost midnight.
00:19:22You really are in a hurry.
00:19:25Yes.
00:19:26Alright.
00:19:27Let's begin.
00:19:28We are gathered here today.
00:19:30There's no one else.
00:19:31Just us.
00:19:32Very well.
00:19:34Landon Pierce,
00:19:35do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:19:39For richer or poorer,
00:19:40in sickness and in health,
00:19:41I do.
00:19:42As long as you both shall live,
00:19:44yes.
00:19:45Evelyn Carter,
00:19:46do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:19:50I don't.
00:19:54I just needed the license.
00:19:56I know.
00:19:58But you did save me tonight.
00:20:00Call that interest.
00:20:02I do.
00:20:04The rings?
00:20:10I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:12You may kiss your bride.
00:20:15Well,
00:20:16you really are Mrs. Pierce now.
00:20:21Do you need me to sign?
00:20:24Sign.
00:20:24Put today's date.
00:20:27Your inheritance.
00:20:28Safe and sound.
00:20:29What happens now?
00:20:30Now,
00:20:31you move in with me.
00:20:31The lawyers will check in.
00:20:32We need to look real.
00:20:33I finally get what my mother left me.
00:20:36Let's go, Mrs. Pierce.
00:20:38You should get used to it,
00:20:39don't you think?
00:21:06We're just acting.
00:21:08You said I do in that church.
00:21:13Legally,
00:21:14you're my wife now.
00:21:16And tonight,
00:21:18I'm claiming my rights as your husband.
00:21:20I'm going to get a real hand.
00:21:28Oh my god.
00:21:37What do you do?
00:21:38No,
00:21:42you never mind.
00:21:42And I do want to tell you very much about it.
00:21:42I won't be able to tell you.
00:21:42No,
00:21:42that's why I can't help you.
00:21:44I don't like it.
00:21:44You're my man.
00:21:48I don't like it.
00:21:48You're my man.
00:21:49I don't know.
00:22:27To get my mother's inheritance, I need to get used to being Mrs. Pierce.
00:22:31Who the hell are you?
00:22:34Who said you could touch anything in here?
00:22:49Hi. Chloe Pierce, Landon's sister. So, you're the so-called wife.
00:22:59Evelyn Carter. I work in IT.
00:23:02Be more specific. What exactly do you do?
00:23:05I fix computers.
00:23:12You fix computers? My brother married someone who fixes computers? Unbelievable.
00:23:19The founder of Pierce Tech, the man on the cover of Forbes, married an IT repair girl.
00:23:30Are you hungry?
00:23:33I'm talking to you.
00:23:36I heard you.
00:23:38Are you done?
00:23:39The eggs are getting cold.
00:23:50What the hell are you so smug about?
00:24:02Ever heard of Eva? Eva Green. Landon's first love.
00:24:06My brother's been with her since Stanford.
00:24:08Years and years.
00:24:10She just called off the engagement last week.
00:24:12But trust me, she's the only woman my brother has ever loved.
00:24:15He still keeps her photo in his office, right side of his desk.
00:24:19Sees it every single day.
00:24:25Then why did she call it off?
00:24:31If a man stares at my photo every day and I still walk away,
00:24:35the problem's with him, not whoever comes next.
00:24:39You are not good enough for my brother!
00:24:43You're not even worth a strand of her hair!
00:24:46Whether I'm good enough, that's your brother's call.
00:24:51I'm the one wearing his ring.
00:24:53I'm the one who spent the night in this house.
00:24:55And you?
00:24:56You're standing here, holding a glass he paid for, running your mouth.
00:25:04Take a good look!
00:25:06Open your damn eyes!
00:25:07Eva is the heir to Green Group!
00:25:09You're nothing but a computer repair girl!
00:25:12I'm the one who's still here!
00:25:16Impressive resume.
00:25:18But Landon's in my bed now.
00:25:20Not in her photo gallery.
00:25:27Since you're such a fan of Eva's, do me a favor.
00:25:31Tell her he was calling my name last night.
00:25:33Not hers.
00:25:49How dare you! You hit me!
00:25:56What the hell is going on here?
00:26:01Layden! She hit me! This psycho actually laid a hand on me in our house! Look at my face! Throw
00:26:09her out! Now!
00:26:14Chloe, did I or did I not tell you to treat my wife with respect? She is my wife, the
00:26:19lady of this house. You threw juice in her face, she slapped you back, you had it coming. Apologize. Now,
00:26:24or pack your things and find somewhere else to live.
00:26:26Y-you want me to apologize to her?
00:26:33Never!
00:26:42Are you okay?
00:26:44I'm fine.
00:26:50Go change, don't get sick.
00:26:55Why did you take my side?
00:26:59In my house, no one touches my wife.
00:27:12Does it hurt?
00:27:14No.
00:27:15No.
00:27:18You were fierce just now. I liked it.
00:27:51Ever, I need to go change.

00:32:12apartment you're embarrassing yourself you can't even pronounce firewall properly and
00:32:21you're laughing at me and you too last month when the system crashed I was the one who fixed
00:32:28it remotely at three in the morning where were you posting selfies at some bar keep running your

00:32:53no need I'll see myself out
00:33:06mr. Landon our subsidiary land core came under a massive ATP attack 10 minutes ago the attacker
00:33:12breached the first three defense layers but but what before they could touch the core data the invasion
00:33:19was neutralized instantly the counter trace gets code signature it's a near perfect match to ease work
00:33:27from three years ago we're going to land core leaving already you had plenty to say upstairs what
00:33:38happened suddenly you're just a stray dog with your tail between your legs never could stand her always

00:34:18single day that's pretty shady don't you think

00:40:28e
00:40:29margaret chose this exact moment to return

00:41:22total loss
00:41:23zero
00:41:27the ghost code in the system
00:41:30how do you plan to deal with it
00:41:37that's the back door even the chief chief engineer couldn't crack
00:41:40a ghost program buried in the core servers
00:41:43no one even knows where it came from
00:41:5624 hours
00:41:58remove it

00:43:44you break it
00:43:45you'll never pay it off
00:43:50give me three minutes
00:44:07letting some random woman touch the main server
00:44:11better call it to replace the whole machine when she's done
00:44:14this is absurd
00:44:16letting an unknown person touch the core system
00:44:18has landon lost his mind
00:44:19just wait
00:44:20five minutes and the whole system crashes

00:49:35Open your damn eyes.
00:49:37This woman is the lady of the priest family.
00:49:43The store is closed to the public.
00:49:47You will serve her and her alone.
00:49:50Now get on your knees and clean her shoes.
00:49:55I'm so, so sorry.
00:49:58I didn't know you were, I had no idea.
00:50:01I didn't mean it.
00:50:03Me too.
00:50:05I apologize too.
00:50:08Everything I said just now.
00:50:09As of today, you're both black-lacked from every Pierce-owned retail property.
00:50:13Miss Evelyn, we were wrong.
00:50:15Manager, get these two out of here!
00:50:20Don't get the wrong idea.
00:50:21I just can't stand people dragging my family's name through the mud.
00:50:29This one.
00:50:30It suits you.
00:50:31No arguments.
00:50:31Go try it on.
00:50:32Consider it my apology for last time.
00:50:56Mr. Landon, Mr. Leighton has rallied two board members.
00:50:59They're demanding an emergency meeting tonight.
00:51:04Push it back.
00:51:06But Mr. Leighton says it's urgent.
00:51:09I said, push it back.
00:51:17Get the car.
00:51:18Now?
00:51:19What about the meeting?
00:51:21I'm going to pick up my wife.
00:51:22I'm going to do this.
00:51:54Is it too much?
00:52:09You're beautiful.
00:52:47I'm still here, you know.
00:52:49Could you two maybe...
00:52:58Ready?
00:53:00Ready?
00:53:15Look at them.
00:53:16It's just a relationship.
00:53:18Nothing special.
00:53:44Are you nervous?
00:53:53I've never brought anyone to meet her.
00:53:55You're the first.
00:54:05Remember, whatever she asks, you're not alone.
00:54:34You're the first.
00:54:39Landon, it's been too long.
00:54:51Miss Green, I've heard so much about you.
00:55:05You stole something that belongs to me.
00:55:11Physicians aren't stolen, they're taken.
00:55:14If you weren't standing in it, that's on you.
00:55:22Back at Stanford, Landon only drank black coffee, no sugar.
00:55:25I can still taste it now, that bitterness.
00:55:28It suited him.
00:55:30Does he make you coffee, or are you not a coffee person?
00:55:33He doesn't make me coffee. He gave me a ring.
00:55:38Evelyn, the group is moving forward with an AI ethics framework.
00:55:41Your thoughts?
00:55:42AI ethics requires an independent oversight body
00:55:45aligned with EU standards while preserving commercial flexibility.
00:55:49I worked on similar drafts during my UN internship.
00:55:55The EU standard Miss Green just cited is the 2023 version.
00:56:00It was updated two months ago.
00:56:03She's applying an outdated framework to a current problem.
00:56:07If implemented, there would be critical gaps.
00:56:10One, cross-border data transfer class tapes would fracture.
00:56:13Two, military application derays remain entirely uncovered.
00:56:16Three, the most basic due diligence on versioning wasn't done.
00:56:24Interesting.
00:56:25Go on.
00:56:32Then let's get practical.
00:56:34The group's supply chain system was hit with a data attack last week.
00:56:37The attacker used three layer proxy masking.
00:56:39How would you counter it?
00:56:40Reinforce firewall layers.
00:56:41Bring in a party security event.
00:56:43Escalate through compliance channels per protocol.
00:56:47Patching firewalls is the bare minimum.
00:56:50But if I were the attacker, I wouldn't come through the front.
00:56:54I'd breach through a third-party supply chain interface and use data mirroring to create a decoy.
00:57:02The attacker doesn't want your data.
00:57:04They want you to think they do.
00:57:06The moment you launch a third-party audit, the real breach point opens.
00:57:09This model predicts their next three moves.
00:57:11And we're supposed to trust diagrams drawn by someone with no credentials?
00:57:17If they reach move three, it triggers automatic internal data migration within 48 hours.
00:57:22Deploy mirror interception in advance, and you neutralize it.
00:57:31Evelyn, you really were impressive tonight.
00:57:33I'm just curious, what university did you attend?
00:57:37Ivy League?
00:57:38Or somewhere else?
00:57:40Yes, people in the Pierce inner circle should at least have a respectable academic background, don't you think?
00:57:54Miss Green, your father's company suffered a major data breach last month.
00:57:58Stock price dropped 17%.
00:57:59The internal report was submitted to regulators anonymously.
00:58:02That report not only identified the vulnerability, it also documented three years of data sealment by your family.
00:58:09Instead of asking where I went to school, maybe you should worry about when your father's system gets hacked again.
00:58:15To my wife.
00:58:17She's the reason tonight was worth having.
00:58:20No.
00:58:21No.
00:58:26No.
00:58:31No.
00:58:32No.
00:58:32No.
00:58:32I'm not sure this person will never know.
00:58:32I'm at the end of the door.
00:58:33Land.
00:58:35Landon...
00:58:36Please, just listen.
00:58:38My father forced me to call off the engagement.
00:58:42I never let you go.
00:58:44Not for a single day.
00:58:46Those days
00:58:48Our time at Stanford
00:58:49Do you remember any of it?
00:58:51You said you'd wait for me
00:58:53That alliance was a contract between two families
00:58:57My heart was never on the table
00:59:01The moment you chose to walk away
00:59:02You lost the right to stand beside me
00:59:26Tonight, you drove me insane
00:59:39Three generations
00:59:43Passed only to the lady of the Pierce house
00:59:51I've read people my whole life
00:59:53You're the only one who reminds me of myself when I was young
00:59:56I don't care where you came from
00:59:58I only care whether you can make him unstoppable
01:00:02Landon
01:00:03You love him, don't you?
01:00:07My love for him is a hard one
01:00:08He was born the firstborn of Pierce
01:00:10I wasn't gentle with him
01:00:11Because if I was, the world would have no reason to be
01:00:14But he's never let you down
01:00:16No, he hasn't
01:00:17Not once
01:00:19Which is exactly why I can't let him lose now
01:00:21I don't care where you came from
01:00:22I only care whether you can make him unstoppable
01:00:24Can you?
01:00:26I can
01:00:27From this day forward, you are his armor
01:00:30I'm entrusting him to you
01:00:41Your mother really loves you
01:00:59Mr. Landon, we have a problem
01:01:01An anonymous letter went to the board and every major financial outlet
01:01:05It accuses your marriage of being a sham
01:01:07A business maneuver to stabilize stock prices
01:01:12They even got a hold of security footage from the chapel
01:01:20The stock
01:01:21It's already starting to move
01:01:32We need an explanation within four hours
01:01:36Otherwise, impeachment procedures begin
01:01:42If this marriage is proven to be a fraudulent business maneuver
01:01:45I will personally revoke your inheritance rights
01:01:49Brother, if there's a problem, it's not too late to come clean
01:01:52The family's dignity matters more than any title
01:02:08At first, it was a contract
01:02:12But it's not anymore
01:02:14Prove it
01:02:31I won't deny it
01:02:32It started as a contract
01:02:39But I have a document to make public
01:02:45Whatever this started as
01:02:47She is and will always be my only wife
01:02:49I'm binding my entire fortune to her name
01:02:56Anyone who questions her
01:02:57Questions my word as a man first
01:03:06Question my word as a man 2
01:03:14Question one
01:03:14Question one
01:03:15Question one
01:03:31I'm E.
01:03:33The one who breached the Pentagon's backup systems three years ago.
01:03:37And right now, someone on the dark web has hired a top-grade hacker.
01:03:41They're stealing the core algorithms for the group's next-generation AI.
01:03:46I've been waiting for this for a long time.
01:03:56Do what you do.
01:03:57Your secret stays with me.
01:04:22Pierce Group's Firewall.
01:04:25Paper Thin.
01:04:27Your tech team, garbage.
01:04:31Cut the power now.
01:04:34Call security.
01:04:35Too late.
01:04:37If we cut it now, we're admitting defeat.
01:04:40You can't even find me.
01:04:43This project, give it up.
01:04:45No.
01:04:53No.
01:04:55No.
01:04:56No.
01:04:58No.
01:05:20From the moment you crashed your bike into my car, I've been addicted, tied up in that
01:05:27storage room, and your eyes were still so calm. In that chapel, when you said I do, I knew
01:05:33I'd already lost. I had a long time ago. I lost a long time ago. I don't want the contract
01:05:44anymore. I want you. All of you.
01:05:51My name is Evelyn. I started coding at 7, breached the defense systems at 12,
01:05:58three years ago, I became E. I know.
01:06:07But I didn't marry you for the inheritance. Then what was it for? Because it's you.
01:06:35Let's go.
01:07:04Mrs. Evelyn, you need to come with us.
01:07:19Anyone touches her.
01:07:45Give her a computer and she'll destroy the evidence.
01:07:55Anyone who touches her goes to war with the Pierce family.
01:08:17She'll be dragged away as a spy in front of the whole world.
01:08:39Now, I believe you owe my daughter in life an apology.
01:09:04You were ready to expose you all along?
01:09:08Before, I was afraid of losing my freedom.
01:09:15Now, I'm afraid of losing you.
01:09:23Thank you for not giving up on me.
01:09:32Landon.
01:09:33Now, I'm afraid of losing you.
01:10:03The only acknowledged lady of the Pierce family.
01:10:19A battlefield earned by your own strength.
01:10:21Take it.
01:10:23I just want to stand by Landon's side.
01:10:26Without power, you can't protect him.
01:10:53When did you do all this?
01:10:54While you were sleeping.
01:10:55Now, you can fix computers anytime you want.
01:11:15What's wrong?
01:11:17I'm pregnant.
01:11:40You're going to be a father.
01:12:01Transfer all your shares.
01:12:03Or it's two lives for the price of one.
01:12:06You're going to regret being born.
01:12:25Landon?
01:12:28I'm okay.
01:12:30Our baby's okay.
01:12:43You're insane!
01:12:45You're my life.
01:12:46Without you,
01:12:47Shares,
01:12:48the company,
01:12:48it's all garbage.
01:12:59You finally learned what's worth fighting for.
01:13:15Our baby?
01:13:17Safe.
01:13:18Both of you.
01:13:20Safe.
01:13:27Then take us home.
01:13:37Evelyn,
01:13:38do you take this man
01:13:40to be your lawfully wedded husband?
01:13:48I choose you
01:13:49from this day forward
01:13:51always.
01:13:53Always.
01:14:10Mrs. E,
01:14:12I cracked your firewall three years ago,
01:14:14secretly.
01:14:18So you did it on purpose?
01:14:20Did what on purpose?
01:14:21Crashed into my bike,
01:14:22dragged me to that party,
01:14:24kissed me in that chapel.
01:14:26All of it.
01:14:27Every single thing.
01:14:28Come on.
01:14:30And Ianc one.
01:14:32Here's the answer.
01:14:34Yo,
