00:00 I heard you loud and clear last night. You just need my keys.
00:02 I'm not gonna let you drive, Miss Stein.
00:04 You're gonna drive?
00:06 My driver's off. Let's go.
00:08 Go on, then.
00:23 Yeah.
00:25 Yeah, I'll just...
00:27 I'll just go in there, and I'll see my dad, and...
00:31 And he'll be in a coma, and I will...
00:34 I don't think I can... I can't.
00:36 What?
00:38 I can't see him like that. I can't... I can't handle that.
00:40 You can, but...
00:41 No, I can't. He was the strong one, and I can't... I can't handle this by myself.
00:45 What are you doing?
00:50 I'm going in.
00:52 You... You don't have to do that.
00:55 Let's do this.
00:56 Together.
01:24 Thanks for being here.
01:26 Thanks for letting me.
01:29 I don't want to lose him.
01:35 We still have time to find Madonna. I won't stop looking.
01:40 I'll, uh... go look for the nurse.
01:45 It's gonna be okay. I won't...
01:48 I won't...
01:49 He's in a coma.
02:07 Change of plans.
02:10 [Dramatic music]
02:12 Thanks.
02:19 There's just so much jargon.
02:26 I love jargon.
02:28 What's it say?
02:30 That I have power of attorney, and all of his assets need decisions, but I...
02:35 can't make sense of any of it.
02:38 Well, the Campbell family has some of the greatest lawyers on retainer.
02:43 I could help you with all of this.
02:45 Really? That'd be amazing.
02:47 Just one thing. I only work for Campbell's.
02:52 And your wedding is until next week.
02:55 What am I waiting for?
02:57 Let's get married today.
02:59 Today?
03:00 Why not?
03:01 All you need to be focusing on is taking care of your dad and yourself.
03:05 Let's get this over with.
03:07 You said...
03:08 Weddings become Mrs. Campbell?
03:11 I, Lauren Marie Hart, take Mason Campbell to be my lawfully wedded husband.
03:21 In sickness and health, till death do us part.
03:24 In sickness and health, till death do us part.
03:26 I now pronounce you husband and wife.
03:28 Just like that?
03:29 Just like that.
03:30 You mean I'll kiss the bride?
03:32 That's mainly for show. Once the papers are signed and stamped, it's a done deal.
03:37 [Kiss]
03:38 So...
03:45 Why now?
03:47 To celebrate.
03:49 I thought you said this was just business.
03:52 I always go out for a drink after closing a great deal.
03:56 Get dressed.
03:59 Here we are.
04:05 Wow, someone famous must be here.
04:07 Yeah, someone.
04:09 You?
04:11 You'll get used to it.
04:13 I think that was the best feel I've ever had.
04:22 Wait, I don't feel safe in these shoes.
04:29 Here.
04:30 Wow, you're a lightweight, huh?
04:33 Or lightweight.
04:34 Okay, what do you want? Like this better?
04:36 No, I don't.
04:37 What are you doing?
04:41 We're in hilly woods.
04:42 Care to go over the threshold?
04:44 Don't hit my head.
04:45 Relax, don't make me want to.
04:47 [Music]
05:05 At one tonight?
05:07 Yeah.
05:09 It's getting late.
05:14 Hmm.
05:16 I'm getting a little sleepy.
05:18 So I should probably just go to my room then?
05:23 Why?
05:27 You could come to mine.
05:31 Is this okay?
05:44 Yeah.
05:45 [Music]
06:11 [Chuckle]
06:12 [Music]
06:40 Mason?
06:41 [Music]
06:52 Hey.
06:53 Hey, I saw the pictures of you big night out with Mr. Campbell.
06:56 They're everywhere.
06:57 Really?
06:58 Yeah, the internet is dying to know about Mr. Mason Campbell's mystery woman.
07:02 Oh my God, I can't think about that right now.
07:05 Um.
07:06 What's the matter?
07:08 I just, Mason isn't picking up his cell, so I was wondering if you could transfer me to his office?
07:13 Yeah, but he's not here.
07:15 Oh, weird.
07:17 Yeah, it really is. I mean, I've never seen Mason miss a day of work.
07:21 [Music]
07:24 Hey.
07:34 Hey.
07:36 Hey.
07:37 Something wrong?
07:41 You left early this morning.
07:44 Yeah, crazy day at the office.
07:46 You were at the office all day?
07:50 Yeah.
07:52 Can I pour myself one?
07:57 Only if you want to drink alone.
07:59 Lauren just-
08:03 Don't follow me.
08:05 [Footsteps]
08:07 I'm gonna have to call you right back.
08:18 What was that about?
08:22 Oh, just work stuff.
08:24 Does it ever get more specific than just work stuff?
08:27 Are you going into the office again?
08:31 No, not today. I have that trip.
08:34 What trip?
08:35 The one to Istanbul, I told you.
08:37 I think I would have remembered if you told me you were going on a trip to Istanbul.
08:42 How long are you gonna be gone?
08:45 I don't know. A couple of days, a week.
08:48 I could come with you.
08:52 Do you like a fake honeymoon? I've never been to Turkey.
08:55 No, not this time. This is just work.
08:57 [Music]
08:59 Hey.
09:25 Can you come over?
09:27 Mm.
09:30 I still can't believe all of this happened to you.
09:33 And then now you live here?
09:35 Well, nothing's perfect.
09:38 What do you mean?
09:40 Have you ever dated someone and felt like they were hiding something?
09:44 Yeah, of course.
09:45 One time I was dating this guy, and he was following me because he thought that I was cheating.
09:51 Were you?
09:52 That's not the point. The point is, you don't have to worry about me, Sam.
09:56 I mean, I've known him for years.
09:58 You know, sure, he's mysterious, but he isn't a bad guy.
10:03 No. No, I guess I'm just not used to all this.
10:07 I feel like I was airlifted out of my old life and just put on this alien planet.
10:13 Yes, a planet of love and limitless money.
10:17 [Phone ringing]
10:20 Hello? Did you get something?
10:34 [Phone ringing]
10:37 Hello?
10:57 Hello?
10:58 Someone's in the house.
11:18 Where are you?
11:20 In the kitchen.
11:21 Do you see who it is?
11:24 No.
11:25 [Footsteps]
11:26 I think they left.
11:34 I'm coming home.
11:38 You okay?
11:51 I'm fine.
11:53 Who were they, and what do they want?
11:55 Just a merger. I don't think everybody's happy with me taking over.
11:59 We're in danger?
12:01 Not anymore.
12:03 I won't leave you.
12:06 I shouldn't have left you here.
12:11 I promise I won't leave you here again.
12:14 Don't make promises that you can't keep.
12:16 You're my wife.
12:17 I'll take care of you.
12:20 [Phone ringing]
12:23 Wait.
12:43 What is it?
12:45 Last time we had sex you just said you left and we barely spoke.
12:49 I know.
12:50 I'm sorry.
12:52 You just tell me what's going on.
12:58 You can trust me, I promise.
13:01 I just don't know how to...
13:05 What?
13:07 Be accountable for someone else's feelings?
13:10 Be in love, Lauren.
13:16 I'm in love with you and I don't know how to do it.
13:19 I love you.
13:30 I'm sorry, I...
13:44 I love you too.
13:46 I'll take this one.
14:10 [Phone ringing]
14:13 Bad news.
14:38 What?
14:39 It's about your dad.
14:41 He might have a lead on a potential donor.
14:44 When will we know for sure?
14:47 Soon, I hope.
14:48 My God, thank you.
14:51 The Johannesburg board meeting is coming up in five days.
15:00 I've been thinking.
15:01 I want you to come with me.
15:05 I don't know what if something happens with my dad while we're gone.
15:08 Then we'll have the jet fly you back as quick as it can.
15:11 I'm not leaving you here again.
15:13 Not until this is settled.
15:15 I'm going to need you to take my credit card
15:19 and buy yourself a new wardrobe for the Johannesburg trip.
15:21 I can't do that.
15:23 It's non-negotiable.
15:24 You're Mrs. Campbell now.
15:26 You need to have a wardrobe to fit.
15:29 [Phone ringing]
15:31 Hey, I'm back.
15:39 Good afternoon, Lauren.
15:52 Mom?
15:57 [Phone ringing]
15:58 Harassing me on the phone wasn't enough.
16:01 You had to show up to my house, too.
16:03 Are you going to tell her or should I?
16:05 Tell me what?
16:06 Mason?
16:08 Lauren, there's something I should talk to you about.
16:13 What's going on?
16:14 Your mother and I do business together.
16:18 You're joking.
16:19 I wish I was.
16:21 Did you know I was her daughter when you hired me?
16:25 Tell her, Mason,
16:26 that you hired her because she's my daughter.
16:30 A billionaire would just randomly marry you?
16:39 Of all people?
16:40 He was trying to steal my own company from me.
16:43 Your mother runs one of our subcontracted shipping companies.
16:46 She's been selling and shipping illegal drugs to the mob.
16:49 Allegedly.
16:50 She kept the company registered under your father's name if she ever got caught.
16:54 I can't believe he would stoop so low as to get you involved.
16:57 She was blackmailing me.
16:58 He manipulated you.
17:00 If your father died, my business would be passed down to you.
17:04 And if he became your husband, it would belong to him, too.
17:08 Then your father fell into a coma and suddenly Mason didn't even need him to die.
17:13 You got power of attorney. The company was yours.
17:16 Still is.
17:17 So he married you on the spot.
17:19 So what? Part of your plan was just letting my father die?
17:23 Lauren, please listen to me.
17:30 When this all started, I had one goal.
17:33 And that's to dissolve your mother's company from the inside.
17:36 But it all changed.
17:37 And it's different now.
17:38 I really am doing everything I can to save your dad's life.
17:41 But you don't believe him, do you?
17:43 He's been using you this whole time.
17:45 What makes you think he's suddenly going to be honest?
17:48 You lied to me.
17:49 I didn't lie to you.
17:51 You asked me why I wanted to marry you and I said I couldn't answer.
17:54 No, that was before. That was when this was just a business agreement.
17:56 But I opened up to you. I let you in. I loved you.
17:59 Lauren, I...
18:00 Lauren, wait.
18:02 I can't believe it.
18:09 You really love her.
18:12 I can't believe you don't.
18:19 Get out of my house.
18:21 Now.
18:22 I don't know what to do.
18:28 I didn't want any of this.
18:32 I just wanted you.
18:35 Lauren, wait.
18:43 Please talk to me.
18:46 I don't have anything to say to you.
18:47 Look, I know you need space to think, but...
18:50 I really didn't anticipate for any of this to become real and it did.
18:54 What? Your feelings for me?
18:57 Yes.
18:58 I love you.
19:00 Can't you believe that something could start dishonest and become real?
19:04 I wouldn't lie about loving you.
19:06 You lied about everything else.
19:07 I did that to protect the things that I care about.
19:09 Just like you.
19:10 It's one of me or Lauren.
19:13 I have good news.
19:15 We found a donor for your dad.
19:17 The transplant's happening soon.
19:19 When?
19:20 October 5th.
19:21 I wish I could be here for you, but...
19:24 It's the day of the board meeting.
19:26 That's amazing.
19:28 Thank you.
19:29 But this doesn't change anything.
19:34 You can't break my heart and then just trade it in for a new one.
19:38 If you could please just pack up my stuff.
19:42 I'll be by to get it tomorrow.
19:44 I'll be by to get it tomorrow.
19:45 I'm not coming inside.
19:57 So you'll just bring my things out and then I'll go?
20:00 I didn't pack them.
20:02 I know my word means nothing to you, but...
20:06 Just give me another chance.
20:08 Mason, you don't respect me.
20:10 And I don't think you ever will, so just...
20:13 Call me when my things are ready.
20:14 Lauren, wait.
20:15 I have something for you.
20:19 I annulled our marriage.
20:25 You're free.
20:29 I annulled our marriage.
20:35 You're free.
20:40 You're free.
20:41 Because we got married under false pretenses.
20:50 Because I'm an arrogant asshole.
20:54 Took advantage of the one person that actually cares about him.
20:57 Because my whole life, I've gotten everything that I ever wanted.
21:02 All these deals, these contracts, these promotions...
21:06 They're meaningless.
21:08 They're meaningless.
21:09 You're the only real thing that I've ever known.
21:13 I don't trust you.
21:17 I know.
21:19 After we got married, I gathered all the existing files that incriminate your mother.
21:24 And the files that she falsified to blame me.
21:27 It's all in there.
21:31 I put my fate in your hands now.
21:34 You're the sole owner of the company, you decide who takes the fall.
21:38 And I'll support you no matter what.
21:40 What are you doing here?
21:50 Oh, you really should get some sleep, darling.
21:56 You look exhausted.
21:58 How'd you get in?
22:01 Still had a key.
22:02 Isn't that funny?
22:04 Sweetie?
22:06 Sweetie?
22:07 You're overthinking things. You've always done that.
22:10 Even as a child.
22:12 I shouldn't be here.
22:13 I don't want to see you.
22:15 Family has to stick together.
22:16 That man is dangerous. He doesn't love you.
22:20 He's just in it to save himself.
22:23 He loved me.
22:25 No, he used you.
22:26 He's just like all other men.
22:28 He wouldn't do a selfless thing for you if his life depended on it.
22:31 And that's the truth.
22:35 I know I haven't been a perfect mother, but I'm ready to change.
22:39 Once your father's awake, we can be family again.
22:46 But that's only if you turn Mason in.
22:51 This is the number of the lead investigator of the DEA.
23:00 Call him.
23:03 Okay.
23:04 I'll send over all the information I have shortly.
23:22 Thank you for your time.

24:33 She needed to pay for her mistakes, and now she will.
24:36 What about the board meeting, the promotion?
24:39 I don't care about that, Lauren.
24:40 I could give the job to someone else.
24:44 I wanna be with you.
24:47 Do the hard things, the easy things, everything in between.
24:51 I love you, Lauren.
24:56 I know it.
24:57 I want you.
25:00 Mason, I...
25:01 Look, you don't have to answer right now,
25:04 especially with your dad being in surgery.
25:06 All we have to do is...
25:10 without you...
25:11 together.
25:13 I love you, Mason.

25:50 [indistinct chatter]
25:56 I'm gonna make rule change right now.

25:59 Hey, girl!
26:00 Hey, how you feeling?
26:01 Oh, better than ever.
26:03 But let me tell you something.
26:04 This guy is a keeper.
26:06 You're a lucky girl.
26:08 I'm a lucky man.
26:10 A lucky man who's about to be late for work.
26:12 Don't you wanna make a good impression
26:14 as CEO of Campbell International?
26:17 Hey.
26:18 Thanks for being here and helping with my dad.
26:21 You mean the world to me.
26:23 Mason?
26:27 What are you doing?
26:32 [♪♪♪]
26:35 Will you marry me?
26:39 I don't know.
26:42 Come on.
26:45 What do you want me to do?

26:52 I don't know.
