Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:09Nighttime? 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.
00:00:25Mr. Landon, Eva just announced on social media she's calling off the engagement.
00:00:28It 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.
00:00:41Is that her?
00:00:48You okay? What the hell was that? You ran a red...
00:01:00You changed lanes without signaling. Pull the dash can-tran footage. This one's on you.
00:01:05You're... you're hurt.
00:01:07Send the repair bill to this address. You've got three days. After that, don't bother.
00:01:12I don't know this. Should I investigate?
00:01:17Would you be willing to marry me?
00:01:20Are you serious?
00:01:21Mutual benefit. What do you need?
00:01:23A marriage license. Today.
00:01:26Deal.
00:01:27But first, you have to do something for me.
00:01:29What?
00:01:36What did you bring me here for? I thought we agreed. Just the license.
00:01:41You do this for me, I get you the license.
00:01:43Fair trade.
00:01:48Everyone, I'd like you to meet someone.
00:01:50This is my fiancée, Evelyn.
00:02:03What are you doing?
00:02:09Marry me.
00:02:11Are you insane? This is fake?
00:02:13Fake is exactly why we have to sell it.
00:02:20My mother's will says the lawyers will verify the marriage is genuine.
00:02:23If they catch us faking it, I lose the intents anyway.
00:02:39Pierce Tech?
00:02:40That AI startup that's blowing up right now?
00:02:45I don't know.
00:02:55So you're Landon's new fiancée?
00:02:57A leather jacket? At your own engagement party?
00:03:00Honey, did you get lost on the way to a biker bar?
00:03:02I heard she fixes computers.
00:03:04Like, actually fixes them.
00:03:05Is Landon having some kind of breakdown?
00:03:08Let me give you some friendly advice.
00:03:10Landon's just using you to shut the media up.
00:03:12Once this blows over, you're nothing.
00:03:14You done?
00:03:18Great, I'm going back inside. It's freezing out here.
00:03:20You actually think Landon likes you?
00:03:22You're not even worth a single strand of his ex-girlfriend's hair.
00:03:25Then tell his ex-girlfriend to come wear this ring.
00:03:27Where is she?
00:03:28What are you so smug about?
00:03:30Landon will forget you exist by tomorrow.
00:03:32We've seen plenty of temp fiancées like you.
00:03:34Exactly.
00:03:35You think a ring makes you Mrs. Pierce?
00:03:37Do you even know who his ex is?
00:03:38Eva Green.
00:03:39Hair assist to Green Group.
00:03:41That's his league.
00:03:42And you?
00:03:42What are you exactly?
00:03:44Eva Green.
00:03:45The one who just dumped him today?
00:03:47And?
00:03:48Right now, I'm the one wearing his ring.
00:03:51You!
00:03:57What are we talking about?
00:04:00Landon!
00:04:01We were just congratulating her.
00:04:03Congratulating?
00:04:05Sounded more like you were cornering my fiancée.
00:04:07No, no, we were just chatting.
00:04:10Anyone giving you a hard time?
00:04:12No.
00:04:13They were just teaching me how to be a temp fiancée.
00:04:16Temp?
00:04:18Evelyn is my fiancée.
00:04:19Anyone who disrespects her, disrespects me.
00:04:23Are we clear?
00:04:28You didn't have to do that.
00:04:29I don't care what they say.
00:04:30I do.
00:04:33You're my fiancée.
00:04:34As long as you hold that title, no one gets to mess with you.
00:04:39You're a pretty good actor.
00:04:41Professionalism.
00:04:43It's getting cold.
00:04:44I'm going in.
00:04:46Felix, get me a wedding planner.
00:04:48Now?
00:04:48It's past 11.
00:04:49I said now.
00:04:52On it.
00:04:53I'm giving Evelyn the wedding of the century.
00:05:00Where were you last night?
00:05:02Out all night?
00:05:03Have you no decency?
00:05:05None of your business.
00:05:08Mom, look at this.
00:05:09Is this Evelyn?
00:05:10The one in the leather jacket at that party?
00:05:20Oh my God.
00:05:21It is.
00:05:24Fixing computers all day and she can't even find a decent dress.
00:05:30Evelyn, you're not getting any younger.
00:05:33You need to think about your future.
00:05:36Her future?
00:05:38What future?
00:05:39No boyfriend, face glued to a screen 24-7.
00:05:44Mom, leave her alone.
00:05:46Who'd want her anyway?
00:05:50Am I wrong?
00:05:51Look at you.
00:05:5324 years old.
00:05:54No real job.
00:05:55No boyfriend.
00:05:56Not a single date in your life.
00:05:58You really think you're getting that inheritance?
00:06:00Yeah.
00:06:01The will's pretty clear.
00:06:03You have to be married.
00:06:04Who's going to marry you?
00:06:06Your stepmother's right.
00:06:08That inheritance, just let it go.
00:06:11You're not getting it.
00:06:14Who says I'm not?
00:06:18And how exactly do you plan to pull that off?
00:06:21Find some random guy to sign a paper?
00:06:23You think the lawyers won't see right through that?
00:06:26You can't even find a man desperate enough to fake it with you.
00:06:31Sith, get real.
00:06:32This is your life now.
00:06:34No man, no money, stuck in this house forever.
00:06:40Just accept it.
00:06:42I will get my mother's inheritance.
00:06:44Soon.
00:06:46And when I do, I'm leaving this place and I am never coming back.
00:06:55Soon?
00:06:56How soon?
00:06:57Gonna find a husband by tomorrow?
00:07:00Mom, stop.
00:07:01If she pulls that off, I'll eat my words.
00:07:14Miss Carter Residence, delivery for you.
00:07:20For me?
00:07:37Oh, my God.
00:07:38This is a custom wedding gown.
00:07:41It's Maison Del Vaux.
00:07:43This fabric.
00:07:44This stitching.
00:07:45How much did this cost?
00:07:51Tomorrow night, 7 o'clock, Pierce Estate.
00:07:53I can't wait to see you, LP.
00:07:55Mom!
00:07:56Landon, he wants to marry me!
00:07:58I knew it!
00:07:58I knew he was into me at that gala!
00:08:00I knew it!
00:08:00I just knew it!
00:08:01Are Selina's marrying in the Pierce Tech?
00:08:03What other Pierce is there?
00:08:10Remember, when Landon shows up, play it cool.
00:08:13Don't look too eager.
00:08:14Mom, relax.
00:08:15I know what I'm doing.
00:08:16Our Selina looks stunning tonight.
00:08:18Landon's gonna take one look at you and be sold.
00:08:20Of course he will.
00:08:21I'm the one he personally invited.
00:08:29Well, well, look who decided to show up, baby fist.
00:08:33You came dressed like that?
00:08:35To an event like this?
00:08:36Have you no shame?
00:08:38Mom, go easy on her.
00:08:40It's probably the only decent thing she owns.
00:08:42Evelyn, tonight is your sister's big moment.
00:08:44Don't cause any trouble.
00:08:46Trouble?
00:08:46I'm just here for the party.
00:08:51Why are you really here?
00:08:54Hoping to catch Landon's eye?
00:08:57You actually think he'd look twice at you?
00:08:59What if you're not the one he's marrying?
00:09:07What?
00:09:09Marry you?
00:09:10I'm sorry, what did you just say?
00:09:13What's that supposed to mean?
00:09:16I'm saying, what if I'm the one he's here to marry?
00:09:28Come in.
00:09:30Mr. Landon, that hacker you asked me to track down, I've got something.
00:09:34Go on.
00:09:35Codename E.
00:09:36Three years ago, she breached the Pentagon's backup systems.
00:09:39Walked away clean.
00:09:40The NSA hunted her for two years.
00:09:41Never even got a real name.
00:09:44She?
00:09:44Yes.
00:09:45Every lead planes to the same conclusion.
00:09:47It's a woman.
00:09:51What else?
00:09:52Her skill set is leagues beyond any white hat hacker we've got on record.
00:09:55Some say she's self-taught.
00:09:56Others think she's got a team behind her.
00:09:57But the one thing everyone agrees on?
00:09:59Which is?
00:10:00She doesn't do it for the money.
00:10:01She does it for the thrill.
00:10:02If the job bores her, you couldn't pay her enough to take it.
00:10:04Interesting.
00:10:05Her location's a ghost.
00:10:06Sometimes Europe, sometimes Asia.
00:10:08Last time someone managed to ping her signal, it came from a coffee shop in some random residential neighborhood.
00:10:14And then?
00:10:16Signal vanished in three seconds.
00:10:19Never picked it up again.
00:10:20I want her found, whatever it takes.
00:10:23Understood.
00:10:24I'll keep digging.
00:10:26Is everything set for tonight?
00:10:27Pierce Estate is ready.
00:10:29Guest list confirmed.
00:10:30Security team's in position.
00:10:37Let's go.
00:10:44Marry you?
00:10:45Mom, did you hear what she just said?
00:10:46I heard.
00:10:47I heard.
00:10:48She says Landon's going to marry her.
00:10:50Who's the woman in the black dress?
00:10:51I think that's Selena's sister.
00:10:52The one who fixes computers.
00:10:53The IT girl?
00:10:54And she just said Landon's marrying her?
00:10:56Delusional much?
00:10:57Let me make this crystal clear.
00:10:58Landon invited me.
00:11:00The gown was delivered to me.
00:11:01The card was addressed to me.
00:11:03What exactly do you think you are?
00:11:05You fix computers for a living.
00:11:07Wake up.
00:11:08Evelyn, don't embarrass yourself.
00:11:10Come with me.
00:11:10Now.
00:11:11The card said the Carter residence.
00:11:14The gown was delivered to that address.
00:11:17No name was on it.
00:11:20So what?
00:11:21Everyone knows Landon meant me.
00:11:23I'm the eldest daughter.
00:11:25Exactly.
00:11:26The eldest daughter is the only one who matters.
00:11:30Then let's see who Landon is really here for, shall we?
00:11:37Don't waste your breath on her.
00:11:38She's just jealous.
00:11:40Can't land a man herself.
00:11:41So she's here to ruin yours.
00:11:44You're right, Mom.
00:11:45I don't need to stoop to her level.
00:11:46Oh, by the way, sis, if you're really that desperate to get married, I can set you up
00:11:52with someone.
00:11:54Miss, care to make an acquaintance?
00:11:58Hey, gorgeous.
00:11:59What about me?
00:12:00I'm no Landon Pierce, but at least I'm available.
00:12:05What do you do?
00:12:06My dad owns a hotel chain.
00:12:09So you do nothing?
00:12:12Evelyn, that's enough.
00:12:14You don't get to make a scene here.
00:12:15Evelyn, just admit it.
00:12:17You can't stand that Landon chose me over you.
00:12:19For the last time, Landon never chose you.
00:12:22The gown came to our house?
00:12:24The invitation said Miss Carter.
00:12:26If that's not choosing me, what is?
00:12:28Mr. Landon Pierce's motorcade has arrived.
00:12:31He will be entering in three minutes.
00:12:42Selina, remember, when Landon walks in, smile, but not too much.
00:12:48Be elegant.
00:12:50I know, Mom.
00:12:51I've rehearsed this a hundred times.
00:12:53No, she can't be here.
00:12:55What if she goes crazy and runs her mouth, ruins everything for Selina?
00:12:59She wouldn't.
00:13:00Do you even know her?
00:13:02She's never listened to us a day in her life.
00:13:05What if she tells Landon some insane story about the two of them?
00:13:08Mom's right.
00:13:10She can't be in here.
00:13:15Evelyn, come with me for a moment.
00:13:17I still have some of your mother's things.
00:13:19I've been meaning to give them to you.
00:13:21What things?
00:13:22Things your mother left for you before she passed.
00:13:25I've kept them all this time.
00:13:27Come on, let me give them to you now.
00:13:30They're inside.
00:13:30Go on.
00:13:32Go get them yourself.
00:13:38What are you doing?
00:13:40Let go of me!
00:13:42Do you have any idea what you're doing?
00:13:43Stop struggling.
00:13:45Just sit tight.
00:13:52We'll let you out when the wedding's over.
00:13:56Don't blame me.
00:13:57You brought this on yourself.
00:14:01You really think you can keep me locked up?
00:14:12Landon, you're here.
00:14:14I've been waiting.
00:14:17I've been waiting.
00:14:27Where's Evelyn?
00:14:28Where's Evelyn?
00:14:36I'll ask again.
00:14:38Where is Evelyn Carter?
00:14:47Landon, there must be some mistake.
00:14:49I'm Selena.
00:14:51I'm the one you invited.
00:14:52The gown was delivered to my house.
00:14:54The card said Miss Carter.
00:14:56The gown was delivered to Evelyn's house.
00:14:58The card said Miss Carter.
00:15:00I never said it was you.
00:15:05That's impossible!
00:15:06You spoke to Selena at the gala.
00:15:08You clearly...
00:15:09I don't remember her.
00:15:13Mr. Pierce, there has to be a misunderstanding.
00:15:16My eldest daughter, Selena, she's the one...
00:15:18I don't know your eldest daughter.
00:15:19There's only one person I know.
00:15:21Evelyn.
00:15:26Evelyn Carter is my fiancé.
00:15:28She is the one I invited tonight.
00:15:31She is the one I married.
00:15:32Oh my god, so Landon's marrying the sister?
00:15:34The one who fixes computers?
00:15:36Selena's been standing here in a wedding gown this whole time.
00:15:39This is beyond humiliating.
00:15:40This family is a complete mess.
00:15:43This can't be.
00:15:45You're lying.
00:15:46The gown was delivered to my house.
00:15:48I'm the eldest Carter daughter.
00:15:50The gown was delivered to that address.
00:15:52That address is where Evelyn lives.
00:15:53Who you are, I don't care.
00:15:54Did she not come?
00:16:00Tonight's event is over.
00:16:02Thank all for coming.
00:16:12One more thing.
00:16:14That gowns was meant for Evelyn.
00:16:16I'd like it returned.
00:16:21Looks like she played me.
00:16:23She never actually wanted to go through with this.
00:16:27Mr. Landon!
00:16:28Wait!
00:16:29Mr. Landon!
00:16:31The hacker!
00:16:32We've got a lead!
00:16:36What did you say?
00:16:37Three minutes ago, our team picked up a signal from E.
00:16:41The source is right here.
00:16:42Here?
00:16:43On Pierce Estate?
00:16:45Yes!
00:16:45Inside the estate.
00:16:46The signal is extremely strong.
00:16:48Location accuracy within 10 meters.
00:16:52She's on my property?
00:16:53Yes, Mr. Landon.
00:16:55Signal originates from inside the estate.
00:16:57Specific location, the side wing, near the storage room.
00:17:01The storage room.
00:17:03Mr. Landon, where are you going?
00:17:04That storage room.
00:17:05Now!
00:17:13Mr. Landon, should I call for backup?
00:17:16What if there's something?
00:17:26Wait.
00:17:27Miss Evelyn?
00:17:29Is...
00:17:29Is E?
00:17:35The signal, it's gone.
00:17:37Could be interference.
00:17:38Or maybe we got it wrong.
00:17:49What happened tonight, no one else hears about it.
00:17:52Understood?
00:17:53Yes, sir.
00:18:18Evelyn Carter is my wife.
00:18:22Tonight was for her.
00:18:23Everything was for her.
00:18:25If anyone ever lays a hand on her, anyone, I will make them pay.
00:18:30You have my word.
00:18:46Where are we going?
00:18:48Church.
00:18:53No guests, no photos, no press.
00:18:56What makes the lawyers believe this marriage is real?
00:18:57Lawyers look at signatures, not photos.
00:19:00You sign, you get your inheritance, I get my peace.
00:19:02Simple.
00:19:14You're...
00:19:15Now?
00:19:16It's almost midnight.
00:19:18You really are in a hurry.
00:19:21Yes.
00:19:22All right.
00:19:24Let's begin.
00:19:25We are gathered here today...
00:19:26There's no one else.
00:19:27Just us.
00:19:28Very well.
00:19:30Landon Pierce, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:19:35For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health?
00:19:37I do.
00:19:38As long as you both shall live?
00:19:40Yes.
00:19:41Evelyn Carter, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:19:46I don't.
00:19:48I don't.
00:19:50I just needed the license.
00:19:52I know.
00:19:54But you did save me tonight.
00:19:56Call that interest.
00:19:58I do.
00:20:00The rings?
00:20:05I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:20:08You may kiss your bride.
00:20:11Well, you really are Mrs. Pierce now.
00:20:17Do you need me to sign?
00:20:20Sign.
00:20:20Put today's date.
00:20:23Your inheritance.
00:20:24Safe and sound.
00:20:25What happens now?
00:20:26Now, you move in with me.
00:20:27The lawyers will check in.
00:20:28We need to look real.
00:20:29I finally get what my mother left me.
00:20:32Let's go, Mrs. Pierce.
00:20:34You should get used to it, don't you think?
00:21:01We're just acting.
00:21:03You said I do in that church.
00:21:09Legally, you're my wife now.
00:21:11And tonight, I'm claiming my rights as your husband.
00:21:15Let's go, Mrs. Pierce.
00:21:23Hmm.
00:21:28Hmm.
00:21:30Hmm.
00:21:30Hmm.
00:21:30Hmm.
00:21:34Hmm.
00:21:35Hmm.
00:21:37Hmm.
00:21:40Hmm.
00:21:56To get my mother's inheritance, I need to get used to being Mrs. Pierce.
00:22:00Who the hell are you?
00:22:04Who said you could touch anything in here?
00:22:19Hi, Chloe Pierce, Landon's sister.
00:22:23So, you're the so-called wife.
00:22:28Evelyn Carter, I work in IT.
00:22:31Be more specific.
00:22:32What exactly do you do?
00:22:35I fix computers.
00:22:41You fix computers?
00:22:43My brother married someone who fixes computers?
00:22:47Unbelievable.
00:22:48The founder of Pierce Tech, the man on the cover of Forbes, married an IT repair girl.
00:22:59Are you hungry?
00:23:02I'm talking to you.
00:23:05I heard you.
00:23:07Are you done?
00:23:08The eggs are getting cold.
00:23:19What the hell are you so smug about?
00:23:31Ever heard of Eva?
00:23:32Eva Green.
00:23:33Landon's first love.
00:23:35My brother's been with her since Stanford.
00:23:37Years and years.
00:23:39She just called off the engagement last week, but trust me, she's the only woman my brother
00:23:44has ever loved.
00:23:44He still keeps her photo in his office, right side of his desk.
00:23:49Sees it every single day.
00:23:54Then why did she call it off?
00:24:00If a man stares at my photo every day and I still walk away, the problem's with him.
00:24:05Not whoever comes next.
00:24:09You are not good enough for my brother!
00:24:12You're not even worth a strand of her hair!
00:24:15Whether I'm good enough?
00:24:17That's your brother's call.
00:24:20I'm the one wearing his ring.
00:24:22I'm the one who spent the night in this house.
00:24:24And you?
00:24:25You're standing here.
00:24:26Holding a glass he paid for.
00:24:28Running your mouth.
00:24:33Take a good look!
00:24:35Open your damn eyes!
00:24:36Eva is the heir to Green Group!
00:24:38You're nothing but a computer repair girl!
00:24:45Impressive resume.
00:24:47But Landon's in my bed now.
00:24:49Not in her photo gallery.
00:24:56Since you're such a fan of Eva's, do me a favor.
00:25:00Tell her he was calling my name last night.
00:25:02Not hers.
00:25:14How dare you!
00:25:15You hit me!
00:25:17You hit me!
00:25:21What the hell is going on here?
00:25:26Landon!
00:25:27She hit me!
00:25:28This psycho actually laid a hand on me in our house!
00:25:32Look at my face!
00:25:34Throw her out!
00:25:35Now!
00:25:38Chloe.
00:25:39Did I or did I not tell you to treat my wife with respect?
00:25:42She is my wife.
00:25:43The lady of this house.
00:25:45You threw juice in her face.
00:25:46She slapped you back.
00:25:47You had it coming.
00:25:48Apologize.
00:25:48Now.
00:25:49Or pack your things and find somewhere else to live.
00:25:51You want me to apologize to her?
00:25:58Never!
00:26:07Are you okay?
00:26:09I'm fine.
00:26:15Go change.
00:26:16Don't get sick.
00:26:20Why did you take my side?
00:26:24In my house, no one touches my wife.
00:26:37Does it hurt?
00:26:39No.
00:26:43You were fierce just now.
00:26:45I liked it.

00:40:45that's the back door
00:40:46even the chief
00:40:47chief engineer
00:40:48couldn't crack
00:40:48a ghost program
00:40:50buried in the core servers

00:46:58and she couldn't afford
00:46:59the repair bill
00:47:03touch this
00:47:04and the dry cleaning alone
00:47:05is probably more than
00:47:06your monthly rent
00:47:07if she touches anything
00:47:09will any of our actual
00:47:10clients even want to wear it
00:47:18your perfume
00:47:18I could smell it
00:47:20from five meters away
00:47:21I honestly thought
00:47:21the store was using
00:47:22cheap air freshening
00:47:28why don't you
00:47:29have a seat over there
00:47:30I'll get you some coffee
00:47:36oops
00:47:42housekeeping will be around
00:47:43shortly
00:47:43just try not to block
00:47:45the aisle
00:47:50those shoes are done for
00:47:51though I suppose
00:47:52they were all ready
00:47:57okay
00:48:04you
00:48:30Open your damn eyes.
00:48:32This woman is the lady of the priest's family.
00:48:38The store is closed to the public.
00:48:42You will serve her and her alone.
00:48:45Now get on your knees and clean her shoes.
00:48:50I'm so, so sorry.
00:48:53I didn't know you were, I had no idea.
00:48:56I didn't mean it.
00:48:58Me too.
00:49:00I apologize too.
00:49:02Everything I said just now.
00:49:04As of today, you're both blacklacked from every Pierce owned retail property.
00:49:08Miss Evelyn, we were wrong.
00:49:09Manager, get these two out of here.
00:49:15Don't get the wrong idea.
00:49:16I just can't stand people dragging my family's name through the mud.
00:49:24This one. It suits you. No arguments. Go try it on.
00:49:26Consider it my apology for last time.
00:49:51Mr. Landon.
00:49:52Mr. Leeton has rallied two board members.
00:49:54They're demanding an emergency meeting tonight.
00:49:59Push it back.
00:50:01But Mr. Leeton says it's urgent.
00:50:04I said, push it back.
00:50:11Get the car.
00:50:13Now?
00:50:14What about the meeting?
00:50:16I'm going to pick up my wife.
00:50:45I'm going to pick up my wife.
00:50:49Is it too much?
00:51:03You're beautiful.
00:51:34I'm going to pick up my wife.
00:51:34At some point, I don'tließ.
00:51:34Yeah, yeah.
00:51:42I'm still here, you know. Could you two maybe...
00:51:53Ready?
00:52:10Look at them. It's just a relationship. Nothing special.
00:52:39Are you nervous?
00:52:47I've never brought anyone to meet her. You're the first.
00:53:00Remember, whatever she asks, you're not alone.
00:53:05I'm not alone.
00:53:34Landon, it's been too long.
00:53:45Miss Green, I've heard so much about you.
00:53:53Miss Green, you stole something that belongs to me.
00:54:05Positions aren't stolen, they're taken.
00:54:08If you weren't standing in it, that's on you.
00:54:16Back at Stanford, Landon only drank black coffee, no sugar.
00:54:20I can still taste it now, that bitterness.
00:54:22It suited him.
00:54:24Does he make you coffee, or are you not a coffee person?
00:54:27He doesn't make me coffee.
00:54:29He gave me a ring.
00:54:32Evelyn, the group is moving forward with an AI ethics framework.
00:54:35Your thoughts?
00:54:36AI ethics requires an independent oversight body aligned with EU standards while preserving commercial flexibility.
00:54:43I worked on similar drafts during my UN internship.
00:54:49The EU standard Miss Green just cited is the 2023 version.
00:54:54It was updated two months ago.
00:54:57She's applying an outdated framework to a current problem.
00:55:01If implemented, there would be critical gaps.
00:55:04One, cross-border data transfer class capes would fracture.
00:55:07Two, military application derays remain entirely uncovered.
00:55:10Three, the most basic due diligence on versioning wasn't done.
00:55:18Interesting.
00:55:19Go on.
00:55:26Then let's get practical.
00:55:28The group's supply chain system was hit with a data attack last week.
00:55:31The attacker used three-layer proxy masking.
00:55:33How would you counter it?
00:55:34Reinforce firewall layers.
00:55:35Bring in a party security event.
00:55:37Escalate through compliance channels per protocol.
00:55:41Patching firewalls is the bare minimum.
00:55:44But if I were the attacker, I wouldn't come through the front.
00:55:48I'd breach through a third-party supply chain interface and use data mirroring to create a decoy.
00:55:56The attacker doesn't want your data.
00:55:58They want you to think they do.
00:55:59The moment you launch a third-party audit, the real breach point opens.
00:56:03This model predicts their next three moves.
00:56:05And we're supposed to trust diagrams drawn by someone with no credentials?
00:56:11If they reach move three, it triggers automatic internal data migration within 48 hours.
00:56:16Deploy mirror interception in advance, and you neutralize it.
00:56:25Evelyn, you really were impressive tonight.
00:56:27I'm just curious, what university did you attend?
00:56:31Ivy League?
00:56:32Or somewhere else?
00:56:33Yes, people in the Pierce inner circle should at least have a respectable academic background, don't you think?
00:56:47Miss Green, your father's company suffered a major data breach last month.
00:56:51Stock price dropped 17%.
00:56:53The internal report was submitted to regulators anonymously.
00:56:56That report not only identified the vulnerability,
00:56:58it also documented three years of data sealment by your family.
00:57:03Instead of asking where I went to school,
00:57:05maybe you should worry about when your father's system gets hacked again.
00:57:09To my wife.
00:57:11She's the reason tonight was worth having.
00:57:28Landon, Landon, please, just listen.
00:57:32My father forced me to call off the engagement.
00:57:36I never let you go, not for a single day.
00:57:39Those days.
00:57:41Our time at Stanford, do you remember any of it?
00:57:44You said you'd wait for me.
00:57:46That alliance was a contract between two families.
00:57:50My heart was never on the table.
00:57:55The moment you chose to walk away, you lost the right to stand beside me.
00:58:20Tonight, you drove me insane.
00:58:33Three generations passed only to the lady of the Pierce house.
00:58:44I've read people my whole life.
00:58:47You're the only one who reminds me of myself when I was young.
00:58:50I don't care where you came from.
00:58:52I only care whether you can make him unstoppable.
00:58:57Landon, you love him, don't you?
00:59:00My love for him is a hard one.
00:59:02He was born the firstborn of Pierce.
00:59:04I wasn't gentle with him because if I was, the world would have no reason to be.
00:59:07But he's never let you down.
00:59:09No, he hasn't.
00:59:11Not once.
00:59:12Which is exactly why I can't let him lose now.
00:59:14I don't care where you came from.
00:59:16I only care whether you can make him unstoppable.
00:59:18Can you?
00:59:20I can.
00:59:21From this day forward, you are his armor.
00:59:23I'm entrusting him to you.
00:59:34Your mother really loves you.
00:59:52Mr. Landon, we have a problem.
00:59:55An anonymous letter went to the board and every major financial outlet.
00:59:58It accuses your marriage of being a sham, a business maneuver to stabilize stock prices.
01:00:05They even got a hold of security footage from the chapel.
01:00:14The stock, it's already starting to move.
01:00:26We need an explanation within four hours.
01:00:29Otherwise, impeachment procedures begin.
01:00:35If this marriage is proven to be a fraudulent business maneuver, I will personally revoke your inheritance rights.
01:00:42Brother, if there's a problem, it's not too late to come clean.
01:00:45The family's dignity matters more than any title.
01:01:02At first, it was a contract.
01:01:05But it's not anymore.
01:01:07Prove it.
01:01:24I won't deny it.
01:01:26It started as a contract.
01:01:32But I have a document to make public.
01:01:38Whatever this started as, she is and will always be my only wife.
01:01:43I'm binding my entire fortune to her name.
01:01:49Anyone who questions her, questions my word as a man first.
01:02:12Anyone who questions her, questions my word as a man first.
01:02:24I'm E, the one who breached the Pentagon's backup systems three years ago.
01:02:30And right now, someone on the dark web has hired a top-grade hacker.
01:02:34They're stealing the core algorithms for the group's next-generation AI.
01:02:39I've been waiting for this for a long time.
01:02:48Do what you do.
01:02:50Your secret stays with me.
01:02:59Do what you do.
01:03:04Your secret stays with me.
01:03:15Pierce groups firewall.
01:03:18Paper thin.
01:03:20Your tech team, garbage.
01:03:24Cut the power now!
01:03:27Call security!
01:03:28Too late.
01:03:29If we cut it now, we're admitting defeat.
01:03:33You can't even find me!
01:03:36This project, give it up!
01:03:46Certainly, we'll be able to take the whole counter-ute flight slot.
01:03:49No problem!
01:03:53What a big selfie star!
01:03:57I think it was很 easy too фот型!
01:03:57And we're looking forward to him!
01:03:58I think it was really nice.
01:04:00I think it was a great for the number of the world I wanted to do here.
01:04:06There were no brand new part.

01:10:09I'm pregnant.
01:10:20You're going to be a father.

01:11:31You finally learned what's worth fighting for.
01:11:46Our baby?
01:11:48Safe.
01:11:50Both of you.
01:11:51Safe.
01:11:58Then take us home.
01:12:08Evelyn.
01:12:09Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
01:12:19I choose you.
01:12:21From this day forward.
01:12:23Always.
01:12:42Mrs. E, I cracked your firewall three years ago.
01:12:45Secretly.
01:12:49So you did it on purpose?
01:12:51Did what on purpose?
01:12:52Crashed into my bike.
01:12:53Dragged me to that party.
01:12:55Kissed me in that chapel.
01:12:57All of it.
01:12:58Every single thing.
01:12:59It's okay.
01:13:04Atramar kosher.
01:13:06It sucks.
