00:00Your grandfather, he sounds like a good man.
00:05He's really cool.
00:07I think I was like four or five. I was young.
00:11I was a stupid, annoying little kid.
00:14Chucky doesn't turn into this.
00:17I used to make you laugh every Saturday night.
00:20I know I was going down with the bird man.
00:23Go on!
00:27Oh!
00:29I knew it!
00:31Yeah!
00:33Yeah!
00:35I knew it!
00:37I knew it!
00:57Layla Reed.
01:01Eric Price does not deserve you.
01:05At all.
01:11What?
01:14I never mentioned that his name is Eric.
01:20How did you know his name was Eric?
01:28I'm sorry, Layla.
01:31But I lied. I lied to you.
01:35I...
01:38I looked into you
01:41before I took you on as a client.
01:44Why would you do that?
01:47It's just a standard background check.
01:50All my co-workers, they all do the same.
01:54But I saw that you were married to this Eric guy.
01:57He didn't see my good news,
01:59but it was none of my business,
02:01and I figured that you wouldn't want to talk about it,
02:04so I lied.
02:07And I'm sorry.
02:09Could you please forgive me?
02:17I forgive you.
02:21But only if you promise you're an asshole.
02:25Because I have plenty of assholes in my life already.
02:30I promise.
02:32Oh, God. Why do I tell her that I am one of those assholes?
02:37You look tired.
02:40Okay.
02:42All right. I'll pack up.
02:45Okay.
02:47Here, let me help you up.
02:49Oh!
03:16Hey! Two of you over there!
03:18What are you doing out here?
03:20This area is restricted.
03:22We need to see some IDs.
03:24IDs?
03:26We can't see my ID.
03:27We're gonna run.
03:28What? You can't run when the cops are coming.
03:31You can't make mistakes.
03:32Step around.
03:33Come on!
03:34Sir, we're gonna need you to remove your mask.
03:36Step around.
03:37Stop!
03:38Hey!
03:39Hey!
03:40Hey!
03:41Hey!
03:42Hey!
03:44Stop!
03:45Hey!
03:46Stop it right there!
03:50Okay!
03:51Go, go, go!
03:52Okay, okay, okay!
03:57He did what?
03:58I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he's, like, running from the cops, right?
04:01He's a cowboy.
04:03Makes sense.
04:04Girl, it's because he's lying about who he is.
04:07And...
04:09you're still not pregnant.
04:11That's proving to be harder than I thought.
04:14So, living in the street,
04:16you two have been hooking up non-stop,
04:19and will keep hooking up until you are pregnant.
04:24Uh, yeah, I mean,
04:26something like that.
04:28And you haven't seen his face?
04:30I can't see his face.
04:32It's part of his thing.
04:34Layla, I mean, hooking up with a stranger?
04:36That's not a character for you.
04:38I mean, what is it about him?
04:40He's good.
04:41He's...
04:42He's good.
04:47I don't know, I guess...
04:49I feel like I've known him for... forever.
04:54You like him?
04:57Yeah, you know, I...
04:59Yes, I do.
05:00That is...
05:02terrible.
05:03Huh?
05:04Huh?
05:06Uh, terribly awesome.
05:10What about the store?
05:11The deal with Matt, didn't it fall through?
05:13That's weird.
05:15He emailed me,
05:17and he said that he has some new deal he wants to talk about.
05:20So we're gonna have a meeting next week.
05:21Oh my god, he's in love with you.
05:23What?
05:24Uh, nothing.
05:26Um, can I borrow this?
05:28You know, it's really not borrowing if you never bring it back.
05:31Well, it's not like anyone's gonna come in and buy anything.
05:34Oh, you're funny!
05:41What do you want now?
05:43Cat?
05:45Cat, you gotta stop stealing my books!
06:10Oh, wow.
06:11Empty as a person.
06:13What are you doing here?
06:15For a local bookstore that doesn't even have a website?
06:18Yes, but Chapters Bookstore has a part.
06:21Sir, this is a multi-million dollar investment.
06:25You guys remember when we had that...
06:27heart?
06:31Chapters Bookstore has a part.
06:35You guys remember when we had that...
06:37heart?
06:38Gary, remember?
06:40My name is Joey.
06:41Of course it is Gary.
06:43Of course you are.
06:44Sir, with all due respect, heart doesn't generate ROI.
06:47We need to be realistic about building our new location.
06:50Talk to you later.
06:51The devil's here.
06:52Sir, as you can see, the numbers just don't make sense.
06:56Devil?
07:01It's Gary.
07:04Uh, we gotta run.
07:06What?
07:07Yep, gotta go.
07:10Keep up the good work.
07:17What are you doing here?
07:19Wow.
07:21Your stock is so old.
07:25I can literally see dust.
07:27Probably like you.
07:28I'm here for you to beg me to come back.
07:30In person.
07:33What makes you think that I want you back?
07:35Oh, come on, Leila.
07:36Your store is dying.
07:37Your grandpa's dying.
07:38And without your inheritance, you have nothing.
07:40So let me get this straight.
07:42You want me to be your wife,
07:45while you have your little girlfriend on the side?
07:47On the side?
07:49I'm not gonna be on the side.
07:51Who do you think you are?
07:52Oh, please.
07:53There's no need to fight over me.
07:55There's plenty of me to get around.
07:57Ew.
07:58No, Eric, we're done.
08:01Facts.
08:06Listen, I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
08:09And I would much rather lose my inheritance
08:11than be fake married to you for one more second.
08:14Divorce?
08:15Now, your grandpa's really not gonna like that.
08:18I can't wait to leave everything to you and your kid.
08:22I love you.
08:23I love you, too.
08:24Grandpa always was best for me.
08:26And you were the furthest thing from that.
08:28Really?
08:29Divorce?
08:30Without me, there's no baby, there's no inheritance.
08:32Your grandpa's gonna despise you
08:33because you'll be a fucking failure.
08:36I'm gonna tell everyone the truth, though.
08:38That you are a lying, cheating, disgusting...
08:44Bitch!
08:46Who the fuck do you think you are?
08:52Get out of my store.
08:57Get out of my store.
08:59This shit hole.
09:00So I'm gonna be out there much longer?
09:02I guess it doesn't matter if I do this, then.
09:24Get out.
09:26Nobody.
09:27Without me, you're nothing.
09:28Get the fuck out of my store!
09:30Out of my store!
09:31I'm gonna call the fucking police!
09:33Call the cops.
09:34Get out!
09:35Are you gonna tell them all about your stupid-ass books?
09:40Wow.
09:41So pretty.
09:49Fuck your bookstore.
10:00Fuck your bookstore.
10:21What are you doing in my business partner?
10:24The Callaway Group is looking to acquire Chapters Bookstore.
10:30What is he talking about?
10:33What are you talking about?
10:35Since when?
10:37We're gonna incorporate it into the hotel.
10:39We're gonna keep everything as is.
10:41Wait, that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
10:43Nothing's gonna change, okay?
10:46Eric, stop pretending that you and I are still friends.
10:49You and I haven't been friends for a very, very long time.
10:53Now look, I've been tolerating you for as long as I can,
10:56but I'm not gonna do that anymore.
10:58What the fuck?
10:59You're gonna throw away our friendship over this bitch?
11:05I see how it is.
11:08You're fucking my wife.
11:09I'm not your wife!
11:17You know, I always thought you were just some boring prude,
11:19but it turns out you're a fucking slut, huh?
11:21Watch your damn mouth.
11:22She's fucking your friend just to get back at you.
11:25I'm not fucking him.
11:28You may feel like you just won the jackpot with this one,
11:30but let me tell you about him.
11:31He sleeps with his clients.
11:32I saw him texting one.
11:35So?
11:36So you got your new target figured out.
11:38Makes sense that you sleep with somebody for money.
11:40That's basically gonna do that with me.
11:42Get out of my hair. Let's go.
11:44Hey!
11:45What are you gonna do?
11:46Beat me up?
11:47Let's go.
11:49Who are you?
11:50Get your hands off of him!
11:52That's actually a good idea.
11:54Oh, and Hank, do me a favor.
11:55Blacklist Mr. Price and his plaything from all of our properties.
11:59Restaurants and mall included.
12:10Are you okay?
12:14Layla, why are you so mad at me?
12:16I'm not.
12:17Yeah, why am I so mad?
12:19You know, I kind of put it all out there for you.
12:23Now, Eric knows how I feel, and it's probably gonna sue me.
12:26And, um, you don't even have to thank me.
12:32Layla, are you...
12:35Are you jealous?
12:36No.
12:38No, I'm not jealous.
12:41Why would I be jealous?
12:43Why, are you fucking your clients?
12:46Why do you care?
12:49I don't.
12:51Well, I'll share if you will.
12:53Here's the guy that you keep bringing into my hotel at night.
12:57Can't you stop her?
13:01No, I'm not sleeping with my clients.
13:03I'm not sleeping with anyone, but...
13:07Anyone but...
13:09But...
13:15Anyone but...
13:18Never mind.
13:22Thank you.
13:24For everything and all of that.
13:30Thank you.
13:32That might be the kindest thing that you've ever said to me.
13:34Yeah, well, cherish it.
13:37What are you even doing here?
13:40Oh, hey, I brought you soup for your hangover.
13:45How do you know I'm hungover?
13:47Well, when a ten-year acquaintance buys a whole bottle of Dom at the Callaway but then proceeds to...
13:55Well, I tend to find out.
13:58You know what?
14:00I'd like to purchase these.
14:02I wouldn't want to forget the memory.
14:05Keep them.
14:10Keep the jacket.
14:13Massage your eyes.
14:16No, I can't.
14:20I'll take this. I got this for him for Christmas. Thank you.
14:36Thank you.
14:42Can we stop staying at Callaway? I hate it here.
14:46But what about all the memories we made there?
14:49Did you just hit me in the sad face?
14:52Thanks.
15:04Hi.
15:05Hi.
15:17All right, sir, where to?
15:19Back to the meeting or the Callaway Hotel?
15:27The Castles.
15:30Bingo.
15:32Who do you want me to meet?
15:37A firefighter.
16:01A firefighter?
16:31Hi.
16:51Hello, there.
16:54We're leaving. That's just all the way from Paris to...
16:57Good. I got it.
16:58Here, you take the outfit, please.
17:00That's for you. Thank you.
17:02Sir, did you even prep for this meeting?
17:04No, of course I did.
17:05You know, these investors flew all the way from Paris.
17:08Okay.
17:09So, please...
17:10To Parle Francais?
17:11Here.
17:12Zoom.
17:14We Zoomed with them the other day, remember?
17:16It was...
17:19It was last week.
17:20Yeah, you had that mocha latte.
17:24So, French investors...
17:26Yes, we...
17:27And they're buying our...
17:29No, they want a rent.
17:31They want a rent.
17:32Okay.
17:33I'm comfortable up your pants.
17:34I've been practicing my whole life.
17:36Yes, you have got this.
17:37And I've Zoomed with them before, so you'll be familiar with their page.
17:40Sir, we are...
17:41Well, we're here.
17:47Sir?
17:58We would also like to be consulted on important decisions,
18:01in particular on...
18:02as well as the strategy of commercialization.
18:12Thank you so much, miss.
18:13You're welcome.
18:14Have a wonderful day.
18:28Oh, my God.
18:30Who says this?
18:32Matthew.
18:33Kimberly.
18:35Here are the projections from the French investor.
18:37Oh, thank you so much, Kimberly.
18:38Yeah, you'll have a look?
18:39Absolutely.
18:40Okay, do that.
18:41You're doing a great job, Kim.
18:42Thank you.
18:47Sir, sir.
18:49Your side hustle, it has to stop now.
18:57I signed a contract with Layla.
18:59Well, this whole thing with Miss Reed is...
19:02I don't know how to say this.
19:03It is bonkers.
19:05I honestly don't know how she hasn't already found out.
19:08And now it's too late to tell her.
19:09I mean, you've seen how she holds grudges.
19:11Plus, she's going to think that I did the whole thing
19:14just to get her to sell me her bookstore or something.
19:17And you didn't.
19:19Sir, sir.
19:20If you did not do this for business, then what was it for?
19:25Oh, sir.
19:27Are you in love?
19:29Okay, yes.
19:32I am. I am. I am.
19:35And I think I have been for a long time.
19:39What am I going to do, Hank?
19:42All right, let's go. We're staring hard.
19:47Yes, sir.
19:48Yes, sir.
19:49Look at this.
19:50Bring all the champagne, guys.
19:51All right.
19:55Welcome to Callaway.
19:56Thank you.
19:58She's coming?
20:01Stand up, guys. Stand up.
20:04Miss Reed is here.
20:06Miss Reed is here.
20:08Hi.
20:10He did all of this just for a meeting with me?
20:14What is this?
20:16Well, I'm proposing a new business collaboration.
20:20I'm proposing a new business collaboration.
20:23But one that truly benefits us both.
20:27Benefits us both, meaning mostly you and a little bit for me.
20:32No, we have actually all for you.
20:38Here, I'll show you.
20:40Have a seat.
20:46You guys can sit.
20:47Okay.
20:51So I'm thinking a $3 million investment, full marketing staff, and e-commerce.
20:57We'll also expand your stores, add a cafe.
21:00We can call it Inc. to go along with the chapters.
21:03Well, what about your hotel?
21:04We'll build another.
21:06Don't worry about it.
21:08Why?
21:09Well, because we're a company that has heart.
21:13I guess I've got a heart, too.
21:16Contract.
21:17Right, let's go over the details.
21:38If you're ready.
21:40This is for you.
21:47Thank you.
21:53All right.
21:55Ernest.
21:58Ernest.
22:02Matthew?
22:03Yeah.
22:05Can I ask you, why are you doing all this?
22:11And not just today, but everything.
22:14Because I'm in love with you.
22:17Matthew?
22:19You know what?
22:20I'll tell you another day.
22:22But for now, partner.
22:28Now you be safe, okay?
22:30We'll talk soon.
22:34But will you ever be in love with me?
22:40I was like a deer in headlights.
22:42It was ridiculous.
22:44I don't know.
22:45It didn't even seem like it could be real.
22:47It was so crazy.
22:49It's like they're going to give me so much.
22:52And I can't believe it happened.
22:54Choppers is going to live.
22:55And it's going to do better than live.
22:57It's going to thrive.
22:58So, this Matthew guy.
23:00He's very nice, yeah?
23:02Yeah, I guess he changed.
23:04I always thought that he was just like Eric.
23:07I don't know.
23:08He doesn't sound like him at all.
23:10But I'm happy for you.
23:12Really.
23:14Thank you.
23:17I do have some other news.
23:24I got the surgery.
23:26It went really well.
23:29And he's cancer free.
23:33That's amazing.
23:34Awesome.
23:39That is amazing.
23:40Thank you.
23:41I'm so happy for you.
23:42I always knew that he could do it.
23:44But it feels like a miracle.
23:46So, we're going to have a party for him in his favorite park.
23:49And I'm going to tell him all about the bookstore.
23:58I was wondering if you would want to go with me as my date.
24:10I mean, you've helped me so much these past few months.
24:19And I like you.
24:24And I think that I'm going to like you even more all this.
24:30You know, I would really love to.
24:34I really would.
24:36I just don't know if that's the best idea.
24:38Just because, you know, I mean, I'm a cowboy.
24:42I don't think your grandpa would like that very much.
24:45But you could ask Matthew Calloway.
24:47I bet he'd go with you.
24:50He seems like a good guy.
24:51Right?
24:55I'm sorry.
24:56I thought that there was something between us.
25:01But this was just work for you this entire time, wasn't it?
25:05No.
25:06My grandpa's healthy now.
25:08And I think that he would very much prefer if I had a baby with someone that I actually love.
25:14Instead of someone that I am paying.
25:17What are you saying?
25:18I'm saying our contract is over.
25:20No.
25:21Layla, wait.
25:22Let me go.
25:24You know, it was real for me.
25:27I'm sorry.
25:28Layla.
25:31Layla.
25:48Hi, Grandpa.
25:50Congratulations.
25:53I have some exciting news to share with you.
25:58Is it true you're divorced?
26:01Yes.
26:12You've reached the voicemail.
26:13Please leave your message after the tone.
26:16Fuck.
26:18God damn it.
26:19Why is this hard little business?
26:32Layla?
26:33Matt, get your ass over to Grandpa Ray's party right now.
26:36Last chance.
26:37Is Matthew?
26:38Mark?
26:39Either.
26:40Both.
26:41This is ridiculous.
26:42They're both just you.
26:47I can't believe Layla didn't tell you.
26:50How long were you going to keep Dad in the dark?
26:52Until you could inherit his assets.
26:54What kind of granddaughter are you?
26:56This is not true.
26:58But you are divorced.
27:00Eric told me all about it.
27:02Are you or are you not divorced?
27:06It's not what was best for me, Grandpa.
27:10Eric was cheating on me the entire time.
27:12He loves somebody else.
27:13Oh, boo-hoo.
27:14What are you, a teenager?
27:16Marriage is about much more than just love.
27:19It's about responsibility, stability.
27:23Just because you're stuck in a loveless marriage with a dipshit son doesn't mean that I need to be.
27:28What did you say?
27:29That's enough!
27:31The both of you!
27:36I'm sorry.
27:38I'm really, really sorry.
27:42I wasn't happy.
27:44It wasn't good for me.
27:46Did you find someone that made you happy?
27:59Oh, she sure paid someone to make her happy.
28:06Oh, she sure paid someone to make her happy.
28:09What?
28:10Oh, did I not mention?
28:13Your baby granddaughter is paying a man to get her pregnant.
28:20What?
28:24Layla, what is this?
28:26Is that true?
28:27No, not like that.
28:28I swear.
28:29Well, don't even try to deny it now.
28:31You didn't even bother to be discreet.
28:34How shameless.
28:36People saw you, you know, at the Callaway.
28:40How pathetic.
28:42You couldn't keep your husband loyal, and now you're paying a man to sleep with you.
28:49Who's going to want you?
28:51Me.
28:54I want her.
29:01It's an easy choice.
29:03But of course I want her.
29:05It's good to see you.
29:07Hi.
29:08Mr. Reid.
29:10I'm so sorry that I'm late.
29:11My name is Matthew Callaway.
29:12I am Layla's boyfriend.
29:14Wait a second.
29:15Callaway?
29:16That's it?
29:17Yes, sir.
29:18I run a small corporation called Callaway Group.
29:22Matthew Callaway.
29:23That's great.
29:24That is so great.
29:27How'd you meet our Layla?
29:30Hey, guys.
29:31It's Nick here again with my very good personal friend, Matthew Callaway.
29:35Super rich guy.
29:37And me and my boys, we like stay a night at the Callaway.
29:41Stay a whole week, huh?
29:43I told you we're super.
29:45He's such a nice guy.
29:46He's just a really nice guy.
29:53Thanks so much for having me.
29:54Hi, guys.
29:55How's it going?
29:57This is beautiful.
30:00So, you're Eric's friend.
30:03Actually, I'm not.
30:04You know, we all went to school together, you see, back in the day.
30:07And I always had the biggest crush on Layla.
30:09But I didn't do anything about it because, well, I didn't.
30:13You should know about bro code.
30:15Competition is good.
30:18Good.
30:19My Layla is the best prize.
30:22I'm not a prize, Grandpa.
30:25She's definitely, definitely so much more than that.
30:28I think she's the whole champion.
30:31I am very strong.
30:33But she is, she's always been a tough one.
30:36You know, I think the same thing is going to be said for when we have a baby.
30:42I'm not having your baby.
30:44Of course we are.
30:47Of course you are.
30:48No, you're not.
30:50Okay.
30:52Enough of the whispering, you lovebirds.
30:55So, Layla, is this the surprise that you had for me?
30:59That you have a wonderful boyfriend?
31:01No.
31:02No, actually, Grandpa, I wanted to tell you that Job Joyce is going to survive.
31:09All without a penny from you.
31:13Oh.
31:15How did you do that?
31:17Well, you see, her boyfriend loves her very much.
31:21And what I ended up doing was I called her.
31:24Isn't that good?
31:26It's all her.
31:27So crunchy.
31:29Anyways, I made a deal with the Callaway group that they're going to build a hotel around the bookstore.
31:36So I don't have to change anything.
31:39Layla, I just know your parents would be so proud of you.
31:47Your parents would be so proud of you.
31:51Well, that's just amazing, Layla.
31:54Since you don't need the money anymore.
31:57Are you seriously trying to discuss Grandpa's inheritance at his cancer-free party? Really?
32:03Let the adults talk, Layla.
32:05Dad, I just need, like, $200,000.
32:09I'm investing all of my life savings in Chapters Bookstore.
32:13What?
32:14What?
32:15What?
32:16What?
32:17I was always going to do that, Layla.
32:19Get a note, kid.
32:20I was always going to leave everything to you.
32:23I just hoped, I just hoped you could have a family, too.
32:27Grandpa.
32:31We'll look after your investments, sir.
32:33And, uh, I'll just look after your granddaughter.
32:37This is the best day of my life.
32:42Seems like it's time for a dance.
32:47Perfect chance to celebrate the new happy couple.
32:58Yeah.
33:03Come on.
33:13May I have this dance, Layla Reed?
33:17I don't dance.
33:18Don't? You can't.
33:20I don't.
33:23Then I'll wait.
33:33I'll wait.
34:04Are you him?
34:06Layla.
34:08Listen to me.
34:09Oh, my God.
34:11Oh, my God, it's you.
34:14Are you him?
34:16Layla.
34:17Oh, my God, it's you.
34:19Yes.
34:20Listen.
34:27I'm so sorry, everyone.
34:29Mr. Reed.
34:31Mr. Reed.
34:35Hey, Layla, Layla.
34:37Layla, let me explain.
34:39Please.
34:41Please, please let me explain.
34:42Is this a game to you?
34:43No.
34:44You like messing with my life?
34:47You like playing with me like I'm some toy?
34:49No, that's not what I did.
34:51That is literally exactly what you did.
34:55I can't believe that I thought that you were any better than Eric.
34:58Don't compare me to that guy, okay?
35:00I'm not like him at all.
35:01You know, I thought that Mark was real.
35:05And then I thought that you were real.
35:07And then I thought, I thought that I finally found someone who genuinely cared about me.
35:12I do care about you.
35:13You lied in my face for months.
35:18I was vulnerable with you.
35:20I know, Layla.
35:21And I am so sorry.
35:23Is Katherine in on this?
35:27Look.
35:29Why?
35:32Why?
35:33Because I was scared, okay?
35:35Okay, I was scared, Layla.
35:37I've never been in love before like this.
35:39Mark was the only way that I could be close to you, okay?
35:43And I so badly wanted to be close to you.
35:45I wanted to be close to you my entire life.
35:47So I hid behind a mask, and I'm...
35:52I'm so sorry.
35:53I'd do anything I could to take it back.
35:55And just because I'm not with Eric...
35:57Okay, fuck Eric.
35:58I'm nothing like him.
36:00Okay, I would never do any of that to you.
36:03Layla, you deserve the truth.
36:05I love you.
36:08I do.
36:10Please.
36:12I love you.
36:13I've loved you my entire life.
36:15I'm so sorry.
36:30Please forgive me.
36:32I don't know if I can.
36:38Layla, do you want to know how crazy I am?
36:44You want to marry me?
36:46Yeah.
36:47You want to marry me?
36:48Fucking crazy.
36:50Yeah, I'm crazy.
36:51I'm just a billionaire who pretended to be a cowboy for months.
36:54I'm just a guy who asked his assistant...
36:56He used to look at me as a role model to bring him costumes
36:59because I wanted you to be happy.
37:01I'm just a guy who fell asleep at all of my meetings
37:04and asked my team to put together a plan that cost me millions
37:07just because I wanted to see you taken care of,
37:09whether you knew that it was me or not.
37:12Seeing how happy you were with your grandpa,
37:15I want that for a lifetime.
37:17So yeah, I'm crazy.
37:21I'm crazy about you.
37:26I'm so sorry.
37:39What?
37:46Hi, guys.
37:48Why did you have to make it so complicated?
38:09What?
38:19Layla?
38:21Hey, I'm looking for a cowboy.
38:26At your service.
38:29What can you do for me?
38:31Anything you want.
38:33Anything you want.
38:39I was hoping it'd be...
39:01I could get used to this.
39:12Mark?
39:13It's Matthew.
39:16Oh, Mark.
39:18You're like Mark a whole lot more.
39:20Okay.
39:21Mark it is.
39:23But I'm going to call you Mrs. Calloway.
39:27Are you?
39:30Depends.
39:35Would you say yes?
39:42Well, I guess that depends.
39:45How bad do you want it?
39:50I'll show you.
