00:14 It's a question we've all asked ourselves, but most of us are never given the opportunity to find out.
00:21 Ever since the day my father was diagnosed, I mulled over that question again and again.
00:29 How far would I be willing to go to save him?
00:33 I wanted nothing more than to help him, but I felt hopeless.
00:43 Until I met him.
00:47 Mason Campbell.
00:50 Wealthier than the Queen of England and twice as powerful.
00:55 Every woman wanted him. Every man wanted to be him.
01:00 I knew he sounded like the kind of person I should stay far, far away from.
01:05 And yet, every step I took led me closer to him.
01:10 And eventually, right into his arms.
01:16 Little did I know I would soon get the answer to my question.
01:24 Would I sacrifice everything to save the person I loved most?
01:32 If the board approves, I'll be taking over as head of Campbell International in two weeks.
01:38 So I've been educating myself on the operation of our subcontractors.
01:43 There's nothing more important than being thorough.
01:47 You run one of our largest shipping and distribution centers, Mrs. Miles.
01:50 Yes, I'm divorced. Well, technically separated.
01:55 The company isn't registered under your name.
01:58 I found that suspicious.
02:00 As if you're trying to hide something.
02:04 So I did a little digging and turns out you are.
02:08 Is that so?
02:10 You're using our contract to ship illegal drugs for the Omens.
02:14 The Omens?
02:16 Don't play dumb.
02:18 You're working for one of the most dangerous mafia families in the world.
02:21 Please, Mr. Campbell, trust that I'm plenty thorough myself.
02:27 And I would know if something like that were happening under my nose.
02:31 Just like I know that if anyone would be incriminated with this alleged crime, it would be you.
02:41 Do you understand what I'm saying?
02:43 Are you threatening me?
02:45 No. I'm promising you.
02:48 If you go to the DEA, they'll see your fingerprints all over this operation, not mine.
02:54 You have no idea who you're fucking with.
02:57 Is that all? I'm quite busy.
03:03 Fingers crossed, by the way, on the promotion.
03:16 I thought I'd be meeting with HR.
03:18 Don't worry. His bark is worse than his bite.
03:20 You'll love him. Just be yourself.
03:23 As long as yourself is agreeable.
03:25 And doesn't talk too much.
03:27 Definitely don't talk too much. He will not like that.
03:30 He's ready for you.
03:33 What are you waiting for? Take a seat.
03:43 Hi, I'm-
03:44 Lauren Hart. Yes, I know.
03:49 I'm-
03:50 Mason Campbell. Of course. It's nice to meet you.
03:54 Here's my resume.
03:56 Undergrad at NYU. Masters of Marketing at UChicago.
04:00 Brief stint at a small commercial agency and then a noticeable period of absolutely nothing.
04:06 I can explain that.
04:07 Excuses aside, you don't have enough experience to join the marketing team at Campbell International.
04:13 But one of your recruiters reached out to me.
04:16 There's one position that you are qualified to fill.
04:21 I need a personal assistant.
04:27 A personal assistant?
04:29 I'm planning on a very pivotal transition.
04:33 I need someone that I can trust.
04:36 Can I trust you, Miss Hart?
04:38 Of course. I would just have to think about it.
04:41 Think about working for someone like me, Miss Hart.
04:44 So I can make all your dreams come true.
04:49 Okay.
04:51 Okay?
04:53 Yes. Yes, sir. I'll take it.
04:58 Very good. See you on Monday.
05:02 Honey, I'm home.
05:10 There she is.
05:13 Hey.
05:14 Oh, kiddo.
05:15 Hey.
05:16 Do me a favor. Sit with me for a little?
05:20 Guess what I found.
05:22 A boyfriend?
05:23 No.
05:24 A kidney.
05:27 Dad, I found a job.
05:29 Oh, that's amazing. What is it?
05:33 Mason Campbell's assistant.
05:36 Isn't he literally famous for being an asshole?
05:40 He runs one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. With his connections, who knows?
05:45 The dialysis is failing. You need to accept--
05:48 We still have time to find a donor.
05:52 You really think you can get Mason Campbell to find me a kidney?
05:58 I'm going to try.
06:01 I have to try.
06:05 Between you and me, I can't believe I got the job. He didn't seem like he really liked me.
06:12 Mason doesn't like anyone, okay? He cares about one thing and one thing only.
06:17 Value. It's how he got to where he is.
06:20 What value could I possibly bring him?
06:23 Lauren!
06:25 I need you in here.
06:27 Yes, sorry.
06:28 I'm taking a risk on you. It's not like me. Trust others with the details of my life.
06:33 Well, people say I'm very reliable.
06:35 I'm going to need you to stay late tonight. There's a lot to do.
06:39 I can't tonight.
06:41 Excuse me?
06:42 I have to give my dad his meds.
06:45 If you want this position, you'll stay here as long as I want, whenever I want.
06:53 So what's it going to be?
07:10 How are you doing?
07:12 Good. Just reorganizing your calendar. I can't believe you went this long without an assistant.
07:19 You know, if you want something done right, you do it yourself.
07:24 Sounds lonely.
07:28 That's why this is for.
07:31 [Glass clinks]
07:58 So, how are you?
08:01 I never used to dream about this life.
08:08 It's wild, isn't it? How disappointing it could all be.
08:13 But you know, right? Wasting your life as an assistant to someone else's dream.
08:20 I don't see it that way.
08:24 I guess I must look different from above.
08:27 You have the better view, at least.
08:31 We're looking down at the dirt, and you're looking up at the stars.
08:36 Are you attracted to me?
08:44 Excuse me?
08:45 Answer me. Are you attracted to me?
08:50 No.
08:52 Not at all?
08:54 No. Why are you asking me that?
08:57 Just to confirm a suspicion.
09:00 That?
09:03 That you're willing to lie to me.
09:07 Give me a chance to earn your trust.
09:15 How?
09:16 Your investment dinner tomorrow night. Let me help you.
09:21 Hmm. Okay, Ms. Ott. Dinner's at 7pm. Be at my house at 6.45.
09:31 [Knock on door]
09:33 Whoa.
09:38 What?
09:39 Nothing. Do you have plans after this?
09:43 No.
09:45 Oh. Just for the job you want, I guess.
09:49 Anyway, there's a maintenance guy coming in 20 minutes. There's a horrible smell coming out of the sink.
09:57 You didn't think that...
09:59 Oh, no. No, this is fine, of course.
10:02 Okay. Well, sorry. Anyway, make yourself at home as much as you can, anyway, with that smell.
10:16 Nice dress, by the way.
10:19 Oh, God.
10:32 [Sighs]
10:34 [Clicking]
10:37 [Clicking]
10:42 [Footsteps]
10:45 [Footsteps]
10:48 [Footsteps]
11:12 [Footsteps]
11:14 Told you I'd do my due diligence.
11:22 This is more than just due diligence.
11:24 If you weren't so nosy.
11:25 Nosy? You have photos of me. You have my personal records. You have my medical records. You have my address.
11:30 There's only one thing that I couldn't figure out. Do you have a boyfriend, Ms. Ott?
11:35 Hey, what is going on? Tell me right now.
11:37 Maybe a lover?
11:38 You're a creep.
11:39 Yes or no?
11:40 No. Nobody. It's just me and my dad.
11:42 So it's safe to assume that you're fully committed to your work.
11:45 I can't be your assistant anymore.
11:46 Good.
11:47 You're about to get a promotion.
11:50 I want you to be my wife.
11:55 There are some people on the board that have questions about me taking over.
12:01 I have a certain image I need to uphold. And I need a wife.
12:06 Why would I ever marry you?
12:09 Money. As much as you want.
12:12 Marry me and I'll set you up for life.
12:15 What are you messing with me?
12:16 I know this is a strange request. But I think it's one you should strongly consider.
12:22 There is a line of people that would throw themselves at this job. Why me?
12:26 If you marry me, I can give you anything under the sun.
12:30 Accept the answer to that question.
12:34 Why?
12:35 I need to think about this. I'll just see you at the office.
12:44 I still work for you, right?
12:46 Well, I can't fire you for not wanting to marry me. Not nowadays.
12:51 I'll see you tomorrow.
12:56 [footsteps]
12:58 [music]
13:27 You forgot not to knock.
13:28 My father needs a new kidney.
13:30 Sorry to hear that.
13:31 I don't need your pity. I need you to pay for his treatment. I need you to find him a kidney donor.
13:36 And if I do?
13:40 I'm in.
13:43 I'll marry you.
13:46 How does this work?
13:49 We'll get legally married in two weeks. I already made the appointment.
13:54 So I just sign the marriage license, that's all?
13:57 No. This marriage needs to appear totally real.
14:00 You'll be moving in with me, of course.
14:03 What?
14:04 The wife of Mason Campbell won't be living in a one-bedroom apartment. You'll live with me.
14:08 I'll need my own room.
14:10 This marriage needs to appear totally real from the outside. At home we'll just be...
14:16 Friends.
14:17 Business partners.
14:20 Deal?
14:24 Deal.
14:25 Well, it's definitely big.
14:40 You're gonna have your pick of the spare bedrooms?
14:43 You're not worried a board member is gonna come and check to see if we're sleeping in the same bed?
14:48 No.
14:50 You know, if we're gonna make this work, you have to at least pretend that you like talking to me.
14:55 I can handle that.
14:57 Or we could get to know each other a little.
15:02 Pretend less.
15:04 I'm very good at pretending.
15:06 Anyway, ready to go?
15:10 No way.
15:12 Why?
15:13 I'm not getting proposed to like that. Even if it is fake.
15:17 Will you marry me?
15:19 You're not even down on one knee.
15:21 Will you marry me?
15:30 Beg me.
15:35 Please, Lauren.
15:45 Please, will you marry me?
15:48 Fine.
15:49 But only because you seem so desperate.
15:53 So, should we eat? We could order dinner.
16:07 No, I need to leave.
16:09 What, do you have a meeting?
16:11 Yes.
16:13 It's 9pm.
16:17 Late meeting.
16:18 Late meeting.
16:19 Late meeting.

16:40 [Water running]
16:50 [Music]
17:06 [Water running]
17:33 It's just for appearances. For the board, and then we'll find you a donor.
17:37 I don't like this, Lauren. At all.
17:39 Dad, he's a very powerful man.
17:41 If anyone can make miracles happen, it's him.
17:44 You know him well.
17:46 Really well.
17:48 And you trust him.
17:49 Of course.
17:51 Where's he from?
17:54 I guess I forgot to ask.
18:01 [Music]
18:02 How did they get?
18:21 Fine.
18:23 He's worried about me, per usual.
18:26 Why?
18:29 Marrying a man I don't know?
18:31 Does anyone know anyone?
18:34 I have an idea.
18:39 Truth or dare?
18:44 You're joking.
18:47 Oh, I would never joke to the great Mason Campbell.
18:50 Truth or dare?
18:53 Truth or dare?
18:57 Dare.
18:58 Dare.
19:02 I dare you to finish your drink.
19:05 Truth or dare?
19:22 Truth.
19:25 When was your last relationship?
19:28 A couple years ago.
19:30 Once my dad got sick, my priorities kind of changed.
19:33 Truth or dare?
19:37 Dare.
19:39 I dare you to take another drink.
19:43 Take another drink.
19:44 Truth or dare?
20:04 Truth.
20:05 Okay.
20:07 What does Beth say about me behind my back?
20:13 She thinks you're great.
20:14 Serious, professional, guarded.
20:18 No one really knows the real you.
20:21 Truth or dare?
20:28 Dare.
20:30 Come on.
20:31 Dare.
20:32 I dare you to tell me the truth.
20:33 For once.
20:35 I think that's against the rules.
20:38 It's not against the rules. I made up the rules, so batter up.
20:41 Come on, just tell me something I don't know about you.
20:44 I was married once.
20:55 I was 21.
20:57 Three months.
20:59 Met on a cruise, fell in love.
21:01 Everything changes back on land.
21:06 You were on a cruise?
21:08 It's not the Mason I know.
21:11 Let me remind you, you don't know me.
21:14 At all.
21:15 Dare.
21:23 I dare you to let me have a drink alone.
21:29 Let me have a drink alone.

24:05 You guys move fast.
24:07 - Well, you know, love is a mystery.
24:09 - Okay, so how did he propose?
24:11 - Oh, it was amazing.
24:13 He practically begged me.
24:14 - Okay, well let me see pictures.
24:17 - We didn't take any.
24:19 - What? That's our fault.
24:21 - What are you doing here?
24:23 - Just visiting my fiance at work,
24:25 you know, spreading the good news.
24:26 - Mr. Campbell, I cannot believe you didn't hire
24:28 a photographer when you popped the question.
24:31 - Yeah, of course.
24:33 We should take pictures for when I show the board
24:35 the good news.
24:36 - Yeah.
24:38 - Beth, what are you doing tomorrow morning?
24:40 - I have my brother's baby shower.
24:41 - Perfect. Meet me at my house at 9 a.m.
24:44 - I don't have a camera.
24:47 - Buy one.
24:49 (ominous music)
24:58 (ominous music)
25:01 - Should I fix my collar?
25:09 - How do I look?
25:22 - You look the part.
25:24 Like someone who'd marry Mason Campbell.
25:27 You're gonna have to pretend that you like me.
25:29 You know that, right?
25:31 - That's the easy part.
25:34 The hard part is,
25:36 probably gonna have to kiss you.
25:39 - Okay, Mr. Campbell, why don't you stand up
25:51 and get closer to Lauren?
25:54 Okay.
25:57 Okay, this is great.
26:00 Yeah, this is great.
26:01 Okay, Lauren, why don't you put your arm
26:04 around Mr. Campbell's neck?
26:07 Okay, just around his neck.
26:11 Okay.
26:13 Okay, how about a kiss?
26:17 (kissing)
26:19 Okay, um, I was thinking more on the lips.
26:27 (kissing)
26:34 Okay, that was awesome.
26:37 How about a kiss that feels like a kiss?

27:34 I just witnessed the unimaginable.
27:37 What, Mason Campbell in love?

27:50 (ominous music)
27:53 (ominous music)
27:56 I think we got some good photos.
27:58 Yeah.
28:00 Convincing.
28:03 Yeah.
28:05 It almost seemed like you.
28:11 (phone ringing)
28:22 - Who was it?
28:24 - My mother.
28:26 She's been trying to reach me since my dad got sick.
28:28 - You need an answer?
28:30 - It's a little too late.
28:32 I...
28:34 I just think I need to lie down for a little.

29:10 - Can't sleep?
29:13 - There's no food.
29:16 - You don't need food if you're never home.
29:19 - You have more money than God,
29:21 and the only thing in your kitchen is a box of cereal?
29:24 - Speaking of,
29:26 do you want to see something cool?
29:28 - Yeah.
29:30 - And there's straws, so you can drink the milk off.
29:42 It's cool, isn't it?
29:44 - Yeah.
29:46 - Whoa.
29:50 - There you go.
29:52 - Okay, I need more of both.
29:59 Do I get the spoons?
30:01 - Yeah, where?
30:03 - Second one, I need to stir them.
30:06 Stir them.
30:08 - Sorry about earlier.
30:27 Just my mom makes me too angry.
30:32 Just how she left us.
30:36 I mean, my dad did great trying to get me to move on, but...
30:40 I feel like deep down, everybody just wants their mom.
30:45 Now that he's dying, it's like she wants to come back.
30:50 I mean, she ruined his life.
30:52 I don't want her to ruin his death, too.
30:55 - Yeah, families are complicated.
31:02 - Yeah.
31:04 - Hey, Mason.
31:10 - Yes, Lauren?
31:13 - Truth or dare?
31:16 - Truth.
31:20 - Really?
31:22 - Come on.
31:24 - What were your parents like?
31:27 - They were... proper.
31:31 - What does that mean?
31:33 - They did everything properly.
31:36 Went to the right school, studied the right thing.
31:40 Dad took over the family business at the right time.
31:43 Their marriage was mutually beneficial, so their parents agreed.
31:47 There was no love there.
31:53 [music fades]
31:55 - I thought I'd do it differently.
32:03 And here I am.
32:05 Just like him.
32:08 - No, you're not.
32:11 - Yeah. Yeah.
32:13 I've accepted that.
32:15 But you're not.
32:19 Your father showed you what love is.
32:21 You still have a shot at finding it one day.
32:24 - Do you want to meet him?
32:30 - Who?
32:32 - My father.
32:34 - No.
32:36 - You sure?
32:39 It would mean a lot to me.
32:40 - No, Lauren, I just can't.
32:42 - Why not?
32:44 - I'm not good with parents.
32:50 - This is a business arrangement.
32:52 We don't want to... complicate things.
32:55 - Right.
32:59 Yeah, I'd hate to make our arrangement weird.
33:03 - You didn't finish your mug.
33:09 - Goodnight, Mason.
33:19 [cell phone rings]
33:21 - Hello?
33:33 Yeah, I'll be right there.
33:39 - What's going on?
33:47 - I need my keys. Where are my keys?
33:50 - Well, they're right here.
33:52 - Give them to me.
33:54 - Not until you tell me what's going on.
33:56 - It's my dad. He's in a coma.
33:58 - We'll take my car.
34:02 - No, I heard you loud and clear last night. You just need my keys.
34:04 - I'm not gonna let you drive in this state.
34:07 - You're gonna drive?
34:09 - My driver's off. Let's go.
34:12 [car engine starts]
34:14 - Go on, then.
