00:00:44Where are you now, whore?
00:00:45Wait.
00:00:46No.
00:00:47I found them already.
00:00:48It's okay.
00:00:49No.
00:00:50I don't know what jobs you're in, lady, but you're safe here.
00:00:51No.
00:00:52No.
00:00:53No.
00:00:54No.
00:00:55No.
00:00:56No.
00:00:57No.
00:00:58No.

00:01:13No?
00:01:17What the hell?
00:01:23Don't do anything stupid.
00:01:26No?
00:01:30What the hell?
00:01:32Oh, Hottiny cold your face cold.
00:01:37Come on, let's get you to the bathroom.
00:01:46I'll be right here if you need me.
00:01:51How could she? She's your mother.
00:01:54I can't believe it either.
00:01:56She pimped me out for money again.
00:01:58There was a man there though that helped, so that was good.
00:02:01Are you okay, Ava? And who's that man?
00:02:04I don't remember. I miss my dad, Zoe.
00:02:18It's you.
00:02:19Excuse me?
00:02:21You live here?
00:02:22Yeah, I do.
00:02:27Mum, there's a man in the house and he's acting weird. What do we do?
00:02:30Who?
00:02:31You mean Chris?
00:02:32Hi, Chris!
00:02:36Chris is just here to drop off a gift from his dad.
00:02:39Who happens to be my new boyfriend.
00:02:42Your boyfriend?
00:02:44Yeah, his name is James.
00:02:46You're gonna love him.
00:02:48He's loaded.
00:02:50Make yourself at home, honey.
00:02:53Ava, go help our guests, please.
00:02:57So, Chris, do you just casually break into other people's homes?
00:03:02I didn't break in. Your mother let me in.
00:03:05And this place is a dump.
00:03:07No, it's not.
00:03:08It is a dump, Ava!
00:03:11That's why we're moving into James' place.
00:03:14So you better get used to men being around.
00:03:18Um, and Chris?
00:03:21Chris is gonna be your step-brother.
00:03:25So be nice.
00:03:27What?
00:03:29What?
00:03:32Me?
00:03:33Yes.
00:03:34Ah, thank you.
00:03:36Please, tell James I love him.
00:03:38We'll do that.
00:03:40Ava, we'll Chris the door.
00:03:43Behave yourself.
00:03:48Bye, Chrissy.
00:03:52Just so we're clear, I'm moving out by the end of this semester,
00:03:55so we don't have to play this step-brother and sister shit, okay?
00:03:59Wait.
00:04:01It was you last night.
00:04:03I saved you last night.
00:04:05And listen, I don't want to play this step-brother, step-sister shit either.
00:04:09So you keep your distance from me, and I'll keep my distance from you.
00:04:11Got it?
00:04:13Also, don't force yourself onto me in the shower again.
00:04:16I was drugged.
00:04:18So have the drugs.
00:04:20Trust me, I'll make sure they don't marry.
00:04:23I'll make sure they don't marry.
00:04:26Okay.
00:04:28Psycho.
00:04:32I love that one.
00:04:34I know.
00:04:35What the f...
00:04:39What the...
00:04:40Hey, Ava.
00:04:42I heard you got a new step-dad.
00:04:44Step-dad.
00:04:45Congrats.
00:04:46What is it?
00:04:47Like, number...
00:04:48Eight.
00:04:49Eight?
00:04:50Oh my gosh.
00:04:51The list just keeps on growing.
00:04:53Yeah.
00:04:54No offence, but do you think you're following in your mum's footsteps?
00:04:59Oh my god.
00:05:00Who wrote that?
00:05:02I'm so sorry.
00:05:03Please don't cry.
00:05:05Did you want to wipe it off?
00:05:07Well, wiping it off doesn't change that it's fat.
00:05:09Who knows how many guys she had to fend through to get into this college.
00:05:13Oh my god.
00:05:14Zoe, leave it.
00:05:15It's kind of obvious who wrote it anyway.
00:05:22What are you doing?
00:05:23Just wipe it off.
00:05:24Who, me?
00:05:25I didn't write it.
00:05:34My name is Dr Hayes.
00:05:35I'll be your guest lecturer this semester.
00:05:38Chris?
00:05:42Chris?
00:05:43My name is Dr Hayes.
00:05:45I'll be your guest lecturer this semester.
00:05:48We'll be doing physics.
00:05:52Pretty fierce.
00:05:56Noah?
00:06:06If this type of thing happens again, the perpetrator's scores will be reduced by one level.
00:06:13Today's class we're going to be doing equations.
00:06:18This equation in particular is one of my favourites.
00:06:21Mom?
00:06:31Mom?
00:06:32Give the lunchbox to Chris, Ava.
00:06:34It's lasagna, his favourite.
00:06:38A good impression is important for us.
00:06:41I'm not going to suck up to you, Mom.
00:06:43Can't you just find a job?
00:06:44Jobs aren't for people like me.
00:06:46Just do as I said, Ava.
00:06:52Dr Hayes
00:06:56Dr Hayes?
00:06:58Come in.
00:07:01Thank you for today. My mum made you lunch.
00:07:06Take it back.
00:07:07You don't like it.
00:07:11Your mother is a gold digger.
00:07:13The night I found you at the hotel, you were delirious.
00:07:16Ava, whatever you've got planned getting to my family, knock it off.
00:07:19I don't know anything about your family, Chris. I don't even know you.
00:07:22Then why are you trying so hard to get my attention?
00:07:24Listen, my mum made you this lunch, not me.
00:07:27Get out.
00:07:32You know what?
00:07:33I think you're scared, Chris.
00:07:35Because you've never let a real woman go before.
00:07:41Are you a virgin?
00:07:43What?
00:07:47Are you a virgin?
00:07:49What?
00:07:52No.
00:07:53I'm just saying you're like a good boy, Chris.
00:08:01I warned you.
00:08:07Is that Ava?
00:08:10I heard Dr Hayes comes from a rich family.
00:08:13I mean, I couldn't find him on Google.
00:08:15But look at what he wears.
00:08:16No wonder girls throw themselves at him.
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:26Are you getting anything?
00:08:27No.
00:08:34Good idea.
00:08:35I can't wait for tomorrow.
00:08:42Wait, wait, wait.
00:08:44What are you doing?
00:08:45Don't you want to know if I'm a virgin?
00:08:51I think I got my answer, let me go.
00:08:55Didn't your mum tell you to be nicer?
00:08:58Please.
00:09:12I warned you.
00:09:14Don't you want to know if I'm a virgin?
00:09:16Ava, you can't do this.
00:09:19This is a mistake.
00:09:36Who's there?
00:09:44Who's there?
00:09:56You, what are you doing in here?
00:10:00You, what are you doing in here?
00:10:02What are you doing in here? This is the men's bathroom.
00:10:04This is the ladies' bathroom, it says on the door.
00:10:08I saw Ava walk into the men's bathroom.
00:10:12What is she doing in there?
00:10:14I mean, why would she be going in the men's bathroom?
00:10:20Ava?
00:10:21I know you're in there.
00:10:23You know, you can come out now.
00:10:25Who's there?
00:10:27Daniella?
00:10:28What are you doing in the men's bathroom?
00:10:31Dr Hayes.
00:10:32Dr Hayes?
00:10:35Is Ava in there with you? We saw her go in.
00:10:38What am I going to do?
00:10:40Hold on.
00:10:49Open up, Dr Hayes.
00:10:51Why are you trying to watch me shower? What is wrong with you?
00:11:00It's just Dr Hayes.
00:11:01It's just Dr Hayes.
00:11:03Lewis, don't think I don't know about your sweet little feelings for A...
00:11:11Ava?
00:11:13You guys need to leave, otherwise I'll call security.
00:11:16Daniella, this is your last warning.
00:11:19Otherwise I'll escalate this situation. Get out.
00:11:22No, no, no. I'm sorry, Dr Hayes.
00:11:24It was Ava's fault. She was trying to prank us.
00:11:32Thank you, Chris.
00:11:34It's okay.
00:11:36Looks like we have another secret between us, Ava.
00:11:41I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:11:53I didn't know you achieved such a prestigious status in academia, Chris.
00:11:58James, where have you been hiding him?
00:12:02And Ava is adorable, too.
00:12:04Thanks, James.
00:12:05Ava, James got Chris to look out for you.
00:12:09Has he pulled off any of his tricks yet?
00:12:12I've been addressed.
00:12:13He's great.
00:12:15That's good to hear.
00:12:16Yes, it's so wonderful you two are getting along.
00:12:21I propose a toast.
00:12:24To us.
00:12:25To physics.
00:12:27One big happy family.
00:12:30Cheers.
00:12:31Cheers.
00:12:57AVA'S BEST FRIEND
00:13:15Would anyone care to explain what all this is?
00:13:20Miss Bennett, is that you?
00:13:22Yes, yes it is.
00:13:23Ava, this is gross.
00:13:26And it's also a little bit stalkerish.
00:13:29You're right.
00:13:30It is gross.
00:13:32It is a little stalkerish.
00:13:34How did they end up there, I wonder?
00:13:37Anyone have any explanation for this?
00:13:45No one?
00:13:46I'm sorry, that's all my fault.
00:13:49What?
00:13:50Are you serious?
00:13:51I made them when I was by myself in class.
00:13:55I just forgot to take them off.
00:13:57I apologise to Dr Hayes and to you too, Dean.
00:14:11Why did you admit it?
00:14:12Why did you lie back there?
00:14:13I know you didn't do it.
00:14:14Because it was exactly what I wanted.
00:14:16What do you mean?
00:14:17If our parents knew about this, they wouldn't get married.
00:14:20You want the same, right?
00:14:21You want to team up with me, Doctor?
00:14:23So you slandered your own reputation to stop my dad marrying your mum?
00:14:26I don't care what other people say.
00:14:28Neil, you're in or out.
00:14:30Is that all you want?
00:14:32What else do I want then?
00:14:46You're not as smart as you think you are.
00:14:50Well, that was rude.
00:14:57Bold move.
00:14:59Not as bold as posting fake photos of me on the internet.
00:15:03It worked out perfectly in the end though, so thanks, Daniela.
00:15:06You little bitch.
00:15:08You think Hayes will come and rescue you?
00:15:12No one's coming to rescue you.
00:15:16No one.
00:15:22Doctor Hayes?
00:15:24You nearly killed her.
00:15:25What?
00:15:27It wasn't...
00:15:28It was...
00:15:29It was Ava.
00:15:31I didn't do anything.
00:15:32She fell down herself.
00:15:34I can see with my own eyes, Daniela.
00:15:36All this stuff like that again and you'll be expelled.
00:15:38Now get lost.
00:15:43Are you okay?
00:15:45I think I sprained my ankle.
00:15:46Get on my back.
00:15:48I think I'm okay, Chris.
00:15:49Get on my back.
00:16:02I need an elevator.
00:16:10Awkward.
00:16:11Very.
00:16:13Once you ask me, it'll be fine.
00:16:15Wait.
00:16:16Are you seriously not considering my suggestion?
00:16:19We can stop this nonsense together.
00:16:25Wait.
00:16:27Are you seriously not considering my suggestion?
00:16:30We can stop this nonsense together.
00:16:32The gold, you know.
00:16:34You don't want to be my brother, do you?
00:16:35You don't want to be my brother, do you?
00:16:41What is this?
00:16:42We're practicing, Elvie.
00:16:44I mean, we're just pretending.
00:16:46Put your arms around me.
00:16:48I don't think...
00:16:50Ava, they're not going to believe us unless they see us making out.
00:16:56You're a terrible actress.
00:16:59Wait, this is going too fast.
00:17:03Great plan.
00:17:06Stop manipulating me, Ava.
00:17:11I won't do it again, Dr. Hayes.
00:17:18Take your things upstairs.
00:17:20Leave mine down here.
00:17:23Why did we have to move in anyway?
00:17:25We were fine in the old apartment.
00:17:27Apparently, in this economy, Ava, I'm doing you a favor.
00:17:32You don't have to pay rent.
00:17:33Be grateful.
00:17:35And please, please be nice to Chris.
00:17:39We're practically brother and sister now.
00:17:42We aren't.
00:17:44Welcome, my lovely ladies.
00:17:47My love.
00:17:49Nice to see you.
00:17:50How was the packing and moving?
00:17:52It was okay.
00:17:54Start unpacking, Mum, if you want to help.
00:17:58Chris, give Ava a hand to unpack, will you?
00:18:01Let's get a drink.
00:18:04I would love to, but I have a physics lecture.
00:18:09Lots of physics.
00:18:16Aren't you curious who Chris really is?
00:18:18I can't find him on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, nothing.
00:18:22Can you please stop obsessing over him?
00:18:24He's the world's biggest dick.
00:18:26You've seen his dick?
00:18:27No!
00:18:34So sorry to bother you this late, but the boiler must be broken and the water is really cold.
00:18:41You can't come in, Ava.
00:18:43What are you thinking?
00:18:44I just need to use your bathroom to shower.
00:18:46I don't know what game you're playing at, but it's not going to work.
00:18:52Look, if you don't want us in your stupid fancy royal house,
00:18:55then why don't you just help me with my plan and stop their marriage?
00:19:00Listen, Ava.
00:19:02Listen, Ava.
00:19:03I thought we established this.
00:19:04Your plan sucks and you can't act.
00:19:08The patty was great, James.
00:19:10I just love meeting you.
00:19:27Oh my goodness!
00:19:28What are you doing, Ava?
00:19:31Um, Chris, what are you trying to do to me?
00:19:33Chris, what have you done?
00:19:35There must be some misunderstanding.
00:19:38Right, Ava?
00:19:40I'm sorry it's my bad, but please help stop their marriage.
00:19:43I'm not going along with this.
00:19:44Your plan sucks.
00:19:46Her bathroom hot water isn't working.
00:19:48She came to my room to ask if she could use mine.
00:19:51Right, Ava?
00:19:53I'm sorry, James.
00:19:54I don't know what game you're playing at, but it's not going to work.
00:19:57The boiler must be broken and the water is really cold.
00:20:00I'm sorry, James.
00:20:01It was my bad.
00:20:03I didn't mean to worry you both.
00:20:05Just let her use your bathroom, Chris.
00:20:09This is not funny!
00:20:13Chris is your stepbrother!
00:20:17Not yet.
00:20:20Just get up!
00:20:24Up!
00:20:26Blow a stunt like that again and I'll rip your shirt off.
00:20:29Unless that's what you want.
00:20:31You could at least admit it.
00:20:44Mom?
00:20:45Ava!
00:20:46Chris will give you a ride today.
00:20:48Okay, bye.
00:20:50I promised I wouldn't buy it.
00:20:52Why the long face?
00:20:53You're the one who started this.
00:20:55No thanks.
00:20:56I'll walk.
00:20:57Suit yourself.
00:21:04Why does she get favouritism from Dr Hayes?
00:21:07Is everything in place?
00:21:09Yep.
00:21:10Let's see if he still likes her without a pretty face.
00:21:14What?
00:21:15Just so we're clear.
00:21:16You're the one abandoning your stupid plan.
00:21:18Firstly, it's not a stupid plan.
00:21:20And secondly, you're the one who keeps sabotaging it.
00:21:23That's because you're a bad actress.
00:21:25Who are you and what are you doing?
00:21:29Let's just have some fun.
00:21:31No!
00:21:33No!
00:21:34No!
00:21:35No!
00:21:36No!
00:21:37No!
00:21:38No!
00:21:39No!
00:21:40No!
00:21:41No!
00:21:42No!
00:21:50Please don't hurt me.
00:21:53There's nowhere to run.
00:21:55Don't come near me.
00:21:58Don't be a bad girl.
00:22:00Where are you?
00:22:02I'm everywhere.
00:22:05Boo!
00:22:10Your face is so pale, kitten.
00:22:12Please don't hurt me.
00:22:14I'm just going to put some pretty little scars on your face.
00:22:17No, don't. Please don't. No!
00:22:22Hey!
00:22:24What the hell?
00:22:25How did you?
00:22:26Chris, help me!
00:22:28Who's seen you?
00:22:29Hey man, I'm here to see if you joined the fun.
00:22:33This is between you and me, Pops.
00:22:35Let's do this.
00:22:58You got away.
00:23:03You okay?
00:23:05I thought I'd never see you again.
00:23:07It's okay.
00:23:09You're safe now.
00:23:11I've got you.
00:23:15I've never had someone help me with anything before.
00:23:18My mum doesn't love me.
00:23:20My dad left me.
00:23:22Maybe you're right.
00:23:24Maybe I'm the trouble.
00:23:26Maybe you're not trouble.
00:23:28Maybe you're not.
00:23:30You've got me now.
00:23:32I'm sorry.
00:23:35Let's get you home.
00:23:48I'll be out with him if you need anything.
00:23:52Wait, stay.
00:23:55Please?
00:24:01Do you know what you're asking me?
00:24:02I do.
00:24:04And I mean it.
00:24:06I don't want to see you as my stepbrother or my lecturer tonight.
00:24:09I just want to see you as somebody who cares for me.
00:24:12This better not be a part of your plan, Ava.
00:24:14It's not.
00:24:16I just want you to be here. Nothing else.
00:24:19I don't know how I feel or what I should feel that my own blood kept hurting me
00:24:24and that my stepbrother kept saving me.
00:24:28I know I gave you a hard time about their marriage.
00:24:31But...
00:24:34I'm grateful it led me to you.
00:24:37Ava, don't look at me like that.
00:24:39Please?
00:24:49You'd better not be messing with my emotions.
00:24:57I'm sorry.
00:25:13Leaving so soon?
00:25:14I'm not...
00:25:16I'm really sorry, Kristen.
00:25:18My emotions were all over the place last night.
00:25:21You were definitely all over the place last night.
00:25:24Nothing really happened though, right?
00:25:27All that happened was that you cried yourself to sleep.
00:25:29Morning! Excuse me, Kristen.
00:25:31I'm looking for Ava.
00:25:33Jesus Christ!
00:25:38Jesus Christ!
00:25:40Emma.
00:25:42Oh, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
00:25:45Um, I was just looking for Ava.
00:25:48Have you seen her? I haven't seen her.
00:25:50I haven't seen her either.
00:25:51Okay, um, anything you need?
00:25:53No, I don't.
00:25:56Um, okay, well, again, I'm so sorry to interrupt you.
00:26:00It's nice to meet you, miss.
00:26:01Okay, goodbye, Emma.
00:26:06What the hell the hell was that?
00:26:10What do you mean?
00:26:11You know what I mean.
00:26:13Your mum just came into my room. That's a problem.
00:26:24Oh, Kristen.
00:26:26Your mum saw you with a girl upstairs.
00:26:28Oh, you are not going to refer to that woman as my mum.
00:26:31That's not the point.
00:26:33The point is you can't marry Ava.
00:26:35Why not?
00:26:36Because you need the support of the Sterlings.
00:26:39If you just marry Lady Sophia...
00:26:41I'm not marrying Sophia Sterling.
00:26:43Just so her father can help me.
00:26:45What is it?
00:26:50Don't wait up for us, okay?
00:26:52I'm not sure what time we'll be home.
00:26:54Oh, and Chris is going to be out all night too.
00:26:57Oh my god.
00:26:58Ava, we really need to find you a man
00:27:01so you're not sitting around on Saturday nights like a wallflower.
00:27:04What's that guy's name?
00:27:06Um...
00:27:07I don't know.
00:27:08I don't know.
00:27:09I don't know.
00:27:10I don't know.
00:27:11I don't know.
00:27:12I don't know.
00:27:13What's that guy's name?
00:27:14Um...
00:27:15Lewis, yes!
00:27:16You've known him since you were 16, right?
00:27:19Mum, Lewis is just a friend.
00:27:21Just...
00:27:22Go and do yourselves in and leave me be.
00:27:27Good night.
00:27:28Good night.
00:27:43Who's there?
00:27:58Who's there?
00:28:12Chris!
00:28:17What happened?
00:28:23Who did this to you?
00:28:26Do you want me to call the cops?
00:28:28No.
00:28:29If it was Michael, he'd call the cops.
00:28:31At least let me patch you up then,
00:28:33or we go to a hospital of your choice.
00:28:35Do you want to tell me what happened?
00:28:43Ava, stop asking questions for instance you don't even know.
00:28:46Stop getting up!
00:28:48In case you haven't noticed, I'm the one in charge now
00:28:51so don't get on my nerves.
00:28:53I have a few ideas in mind if you want to be in charge so bad.
00:28:57No, Ava, I actually have to leave.
00:29:01I just came back to make sure you were okay.
00:29:03Why wouldn't I be?
00:29:05And you, mister, are not going anywhere!
00:29:12Oh my god, you...
00:29:15What are you thinking, Chris?
00:29:17Nothing.
00:29:24This is going to stink.
00:29:26Ava, wait.
00:29:30It's okay, you're okay.
00:29:33This is some kind of payback.
00:29:35Maybe.
00:29:36Now you rest and don't go anywhere.
00:29:39I'll be back.
00:29:53I'll be back.
00:30:08Get away from me.
00:30:14Get away from me.
00:30:18Chris, wake up!
00:30:19Chris, you're having a nightmare, wake up!
00:30:23Thank you, Ava.
00:30:24That bad, huh?
00:30:26Terrible.
00:30:28It's okay.
00:30:32I don't know if you don't like me or maybe you hate me.
00:30:37I don't hate you, Ava.
00:30:39In fact, it's the complete opposite.
00:30:42I hate myself.
00:30:44And around you I cannot control my feelings and emotions
00:30:48to the point where I just lose control.
00:30:51And I'm sorry for that, Ava.
00:30:53I don't know, Chris.
00:30:55Know this.
00:30:57Feel me, Ava.
00:31:22I'm leaving so soon.
00:31:25Again.
00:31:28You should rest, Chris.
00:31:30After last night.
00:31:31I don't need to rest, Ava.
00:31:32It was a mistake last night.
00:31:33A mistake that we made three times.
00:31:38Shut up.
00:31:39Did you like it?
00:31:40Maybe.
00:31:41Maybe?
00:31:42Do I need to remind you how good it was?
00:31:44Lester!
00:31:47Chris, I have a lecture this morning.
00:31:49A lecture?
00:31:52How about I do a brain check?
00:31:54I'm just truly grateful.
00:31:56I want to give you the opportunity to tell you how grateful I am for you.
00:32:06This, my brain,
00:32:08this, my brain,
00:32:10this, my brain,
00:32:12this, my brain,
00:32:14this, my bracelet.
00:32:16Where did you get it from?
00:32:18My best friend Zoe gave it to me.
00:32:20Why?
00:32:21Your friend is a Sullivan.
00:32:22Have you approached me intentionally?
00:32:24Sullivan is not her last name.
00:32:26And no, I didn't approach you with anything, Chris.
00:32:28I don't know what you're talking about.
00:32:31Then why are you wearing a custom-made bracelet
00:32:33specifically for my family who tried to kill mine?
00:32:35I don't know, Chris.
00:32:37I don't even know what family you're from.
00:32:39Don't act innocent, Ava.
00:32:41I don't know how you found me.
00:32:43And no, I will come for you.
00:32:46Chris, I don't know who you're talking about.
00:32:48I swear I know nothing.
00:32:50I can't believe they trust you enough to give you this bracelet.
00:32:53The least you could do is admit it.
00:32:57Chris, it's just...
00:33:00AVAILABLE NOW
00:33:11Dr. Hayes, can I have a word, please?
00:33:14You can speak to me later.
00:33:16I'm not feeling well. Can I leave early?
00:33:18No, you cannot.
00:33:20Look, I've spoken with my group about the papers.
00:33:23They'll happily share my opinion with the class.
00:33:28It's university policy, Ava.
00:33:30You can't leave.
00:33:31That doesn't make sense.
00:33:33Life doesn't make sense.
00:33:34Is that how you take your revenge, Chris?
00:33:37You are no different to every other student, Ava.
00:33:40And please don't cause a scene.
00:33:46Ava, are you OK?
00:33:48You don't really look OK.
00:33:50I'm OK, it's just...
00:33:52If you want, I'll just take you back to my dorm room.
00:33:54You can rest up.
00:33:55Oh, you don't have to.
00:33:57Don't worry about it. It's fine.
00:34:00Come on, let's go.
00:34:16Are you OK?
00:34:17None of your business, brother.
00:34:21Daniela, what are you doing here?
00:34:23I'll kill you!
00:34:24For what she said.
00:34:26Get her!
00:34:27You dumber, you bitch!
00:34:30Ava, Ava.
00:34:33Ava.
00:34:34I'm not even worried if anyone sees us.
00:34:36You know why?
00:34:37Because you'll be expelled just like Sadie?
00:34:39No, Ava.
00:34:40Because Dr Hayes clearly hates you too.
00:34:43Nobody's getting expelled this time.
00:34:45Are you going to hurt me?
00:34:46Of course not, you little slut.
00:34:48We're just going to take some photos of you
00:34:50and show everyone how much of a little slutty slut you actually are.
00:34:53What do you mean?
00:34:55No one's coming to see me.
00:34:57But Dr Hayes will be so impressed.
00:35:00Take off her clothes.
00:35:02No, stop!
00:35:04No, no!
00:35:09I warned you.
00:35:10How did you get here?
00:35:12Get him!
00:35:14Get him!
00:35:29You okay?
00:35:30It was you, wasn't it?
00:35:31What was me?
00:35:32Daniela said that you tried to hurt me.
00:35:36I would never try and hurt you, Ava.
00:35:38She told me everything.
00:35:40I don't think she said you'd be impressed
00:35:42if they took naked photos of me and posted them online.
00:35:46Why would I ever say anything?
00:35:48She's a liar.
00:35:49If you don't love me, that's fine.
00:35:51But you can't intentionally hurt me.
00:35:54Okay, I think you're being dramatic.
00:35:58We're done, Chris!
00:35:59I hate you!
00:36:11What are you doing, Chris?
00:36:13You know she's just manipulating you.
00:36:36What are you doing, Ava?
00:36:40I'm sorry.
00:36:51Mum?
00:36:52Are you really pregnant with James' child?
00:36:55I am.
00:36:58Are you not happy for me, Ava?
00:37:00I finally get to marry a rich husband!
00:37:06I mean, I am happy for you, truly.
00:37:10It's just...
00:37:12You can't marry James.
00:37:14And why not?
00:37:18Why can't I marry James?
00:37:20Just give me one good reason.
00:37:23Because it would make Chris and I siblings.
00:37:28You don't want me to marry James
00:37:30because you've fallen in love with your stepbrother.
00:37:35Do you want to know how I know?
00:37:37It's because Chris told me you tried to seduce him.
00:37:42You, my daughter.
00:37:45You make me sick.
00:37:49Is everything okay?
00:37:51Yes.
00:37:52Am I interrupting something?
00:37:53No, no, no.
00:37:55I was just telling Ava how she's going to have a new little sibling.
00:37:59And you too, Chris.
00:38:01There's a new addition to the family.
00:38:03Wow.
00:38:05Congratulations, Emma.
00:38:07I sincerely apologise for my daughter's behaviour.
00:38:13Can you tell me why the hell you told my mum I tried to seduce you?
00:38:17Chris, I'll be marrying your dad soon.
00:38:20So, I'll be your mum.
00:38:22And Ava will be your stepsister.
00:38:28Ava, we're going to be a family.
00:38:30Don't cause any family drama.
00:38:35I can't believe it.
00:38:37You ran into my mum and called me a slut?
00:38:42That's not the point.
00:38:43You don't have any inappropriate feelings for Ava, do you?
00:38:48Of course not.
00:38:51I get it.
00:38:54Congratulations, mum, for making us one big, happy family.
00:39:05She's your daughter.
00:39:06You should treat her nicer.
00:39:09Also, if there's anything you need for the wedding, just ask.
00:39:18Of course.
00:39:20Thank you, Chris.
00:39:57Is everything okay?
00:39:59Am I interrupting something?
00:40:01I guess we are going to be stepbrother and stepsister.
00:40:05Oh, mum.
00:40:07Hi, hon.
00:40:09You look gorgeous.
00:40:10Of course I do.
00:40:16Ava!
00:40:19Are you okay?
00:40:20How's your new father treating you?
00:40:22And Chris, is he...
00:40:26Ava, where's the bracelet that I got you?
00:40:29Just forget about it, Zoe.
00:40:31Ava, what's going on?
00:40:33You know you can always talk to me.
00:40:37Chris said the bracelet was from a specific family who killed his family.
00:40:41Do you know who they are and why they would do that?
00:40:44Ava, that bracelet was a gift from your father.
00:40:48Your father saved my family.
00:40:50God, I really hope this isn't what I think it is.
00:40:53I don't understand it and you won't believe me.
00:40:55You went crazy saying that your last name must be Sullivan, which it's not.
00:40:59Sullivan.
00:41:01Ava, this is really bad.
00:41:03I don't know what you're talking about, Zoe.
00:41:08I'm sorry, Ava.
00:41:09The bracelet is from an acquaintance.
00:41:12He will come and visit you when the time is right.
00:41:14Zoe, you're not making all that sense right now.
00:41:18So her last name is not Sullivan.
00:41:20Then where is she from and how did she get the bracelet?
00:41:23Why is it on Ava?
00:41:25Her name is Zoe Smith.
00:41:26Zoe Smith.
00:41:27Miss Smith.
00:41:28To run all of your families on our side.
00:41:30There's no reason to...
00:41:32We'll send Ava to harm you, sir.
00:41:34Keep digging.
00:41:36Find out more on that bracelet.
00:41:41He hates me.
00:41:43Chris and I are done.
00:41:51What did I do to her?
00:41:53Looks like someone needs a hug.
00:41:54Hi, Lewis.
00:41:56Hi.
00:41:59Beautiful wedding.
00:42:01Oh, and I just spoke to your mum now.
00:42:03And she said that you're available next weekend.
00:42:05And I just so happen to have some tickets for a Beethoven concert.
00:42:10Lewis.
00:42:12So, would you like to come with me as my friend?
00:42:15Or...
00:42:16What are you doing, Lewis?
00:42:19I'll go with you.
00:42:21As boyfriends and girlfriends.
00:42:27You two are in a relationship.
00:42:30Since when?
00:42:31Well, since about a minute ago.
00:42:35Though to be honest with you, Dr Hayes, I've been dreaming about this day ever since I was 16.
00:42:42Oh, I should reintroduce myself to you as Ava's boyfriend.
00:42:45Because you're Ava's stepbrother.
00:42:47Says who?
00:42:48Says your dad and my mum.
00:42:50Come on, Chris.
00:42:51He's my boyfriend. You don't want to be rude to our guest.
00:42:55Tell him to leave.
00:42:56Why should he?
00:42:58Come on, Lewis.
00:42:59Shall we go for a little bit of fresh air?
00:43:01Sounds good.
00:43:05Where shall we go?
00:43:11Ava! Ava!
00:43:15What's going on between you and Lewis? Are you trying to punish me?
00:43:21Me? Aren't you the one trying to punish me?
00:43:24I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
00:43:26It wasn't my intention to hurt you, Ava.
00:43:28I don't know how to talk to you, Chris.
00:43:30Stop harassing me, Chris. I'll always look like my mum and James.
00:43:33You look stunning today.
00:43:42Interesting.
00:43:43You have the same taste in clothes.
00:43:45Oh my god!
00:43:46You look great.
00:43:49So sorry, but I haven't seen you around.
00:43:52Bonjour.
00:43:54I'm Sophia.
00:43:56Ava.
00:43:59You have the most incredible eyes.
00:44:02No wonder he's mad about you.
00:44:05He?
00:44:06I mean, boys are mad over your beautiful face.
00:44:13Is that your boyfriend outside?
00:44:14That's messed up, brother.
00:44:16Ooh, they're a bit in love.
00:44:23Actually, we don't get along.
00:44:25He's, I guess, a lecturer at my school.
00:44:28Such a nightmare.
00:44:30But his dad's nice.
00:44:32I don't call him dad and he doesn't mind.
00:44:34Why don't you two get along?
00:44:36It's a long story. He's just...
00:44:39Never mind.
00:44:40Boys, right?
00:44:42They never learn until they get themselves hurt.
00:44:45Or their loved ones.
00:44:48Have a nice day, Ava.
00:44:54What are you doing in here? This is the ladies' bathroom.
00:44:57What's taking you so long?
00:44:59Who were you talking to?
00:45:00It was just a girl. She left a minute ago.
00:45:03Just a girl?
00:45:04What? I can't even talk to girls now.
00:45:06Enjoy your evening.
00:45:08Chris?
00:45:18Watch out, Ava.
00:45:20We don't just have the same taste in clothes.
00:45:30Ava!
00:45:33I tripped over my foot.
00:45:36Let me take a look.
00:45:38It's swollen.
00:45:39It's nothing serious.
00:45:41Here.
00:45:48Ava, stop moving.
00:45:50I don't get you, Chris.
00:45:52You humiliated me in front of my entire class.
00:45:55You don't like me, fine.
00:45:57But why are you acting like this now?
00:45:59Is it because I have a boyfriend and it bothers you?
00:46:01This has nothing to do with that, Ava.
00:46:03Then what do you want from me?
00:46:04Because I can't handle this hot and cold anymore.
00:46:07I just can't bear the thought of losing you again.
00:46:09Are you serious?
00:46:11You screamed at me. You broke my bracelet.
00:46:13And you can't...
00:46:15What?
00:46:18Ava, look. I'm sorry.
00:46:20Forget it, Ava.
00:46:22My mother's pregnant and your life is about to begin.
00:46:25Our parents love each other.
00:46:27So I guess I'll stop having inappropriate thoughts, brother.
00:46:31What did you just call me?
00:46:32Brother, brother, brother.
00:46:34Do not call me that.
00:46:35Our parents are married now, Chris.
00:46:37It's done. Let me go.
00:46:46Yeah, okay. You have fun with James, Mum.
00:46:48Bye.
00:46:52Oh, my God.
00:46:57The wound isn't healed yet.
00:46:59These are new.
00:47:01I may need a bandage.
00:47:07Can I come in?
00:47:16Just put them on the shelf.
00:47:32Ava.
00:47:33Oh, you look gorgeous.
00:47:35Have a wonderful night, okay?
00:47:37But don't come home too soon.
00:47:39It's just a concert, Mum.
00:47:41I won't be long.
00:47:43A date, huh?
00:47:45Yeah, I'm going to a concert with the Lewis.
00:47:48Bye.
00:47:49Okay, bye. Have fun.
00:48:04Thank you for inviting me, Lewis.
00:48:06Thank you for coming out.
00:48:10You look beautiful tonight, Ava.
00:48:12Oh, you're too kind.
00:48:14Oh, I just need to go to the toilet real quick.
00:48:18Are you okay here?
00:48:20I am.
00:48:21Sweet.
00:48:23I will try not to be long.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:31What are you doing here?
00:48:35I'm going to a Beethoven concert.
00:48:37What are your plans for tonight?
00:48:39None of your business, Chris.
00:48:41Ava, I'm sorry, okay?
00:48:43I overreacted with the bracelet.
00:48:45I regret my actions.
00:48:46I didn't mean to do that to you.
00:48:48I'm sorry.
00:48:49I'm glad.
00:48:51That's all you have to say to me.
00:48:52What else do you want me to say?
00:48:54I forgive you and let's move on?
00:48:56I have a boyfriend now, Chris.
00:48:58Just leave us.
00:48:59Ava, I'm from the royal family.
00:49:01What?
00:49:05Ava, I'm from the royal family.
00:49:07What?
00:49:09I'm not like a prince or anything,
00:49:11but my family descends from the Duke of Ravenshire.
00:49:15Almost 20 years ago, my family was killed in a car accident.
00:49:19It was orchestrated by a family who is an enemy of mine.
00:49:24They don't know that I survived.
00:49:26Who's they?
00:49:28Michael Sullivan.
00:49:30He's a remote cousin from my dad's side.
00:49:32He runs the company that my family built.
00:49:35He doesn't have a title.
00:49:38Ava, please say something.
00:49:40I don't know what you want me to say, Chris.
00:49:44I mean, I'm sorry for everything that's happened.
00:49:46Can you at least forgive me for all the horrible things I've said to you?
00:49:50I don't know, Chris.
00:49:52You broke my heart.
00:49:54Just leave it.
00:50:00And that's what you want?
00:50:02What else do I want?
00:50:04Everyone still thinks we're step-siblings.
00:50:14Oh, Ava, how was your night, honey?
00:50:18Yeah, it was fun.
00:50:20Yeah? When are we going to meet him?
00:50:22Please bring him around sometime.
00:50:24Maybe next time.
00:50:26Oh, come on.
00:50:28Come on.
00:50:34Bring him home, huh?
00:50:36Lewis.
00:50:37It's what our parents wanted after he was my boyfriend.
00:50:40He's not your boyfriend.
00:50:41Ava, you're driving me crazy.
00:50:45Ava, you're driving me crazy.
00:50:49Let go of my hands, Chris.
00:50:51My mum will be here any minute.
00:50:53I don't care.
00:50:55I love you, Ava.
00:50:56You're driving me crazy.
00:50:57You don't know what you're saying, Chris.
00:50:59I do.
00:51:00And I can't stand seeing you with another man.
00:51:03Especially little Lewis.
00:51:11Chris, are we...
00:51:16Lewis!
00:51:26Ava!
00:51:28Ava, it's mum!
00:51:30I've got the custom-style dresses!
00:51:33Open the door!
00:51:36Mum's right outside.
00:51:39Mum, I'm really tired today.
00:51:42Can we do this tomorrow?
00:51:44Oh, stop it.
00:51:45You just need to pick one, honey!
00:51:48Can you just take some pictures of the clothes and send them to me, please?
00:51:54What are you doing in there?
00:51:57Mum, I'm just really tired today.
00:52:01You're being very strange today!
00:52:05I'll just send you the pictures tomorrow then.
00:52:07Bye!
00:52:09You're crazy.
00:52:10My mum could have heard us.
00:52:11Ava, you're making me crazy.
00:52:14It's Lewis.
00:52:21It's Lewis.
00:52:23Should you answer, or should I?
00:52:25Lewis is just a good friend, actually.
00:52:27Hi, Lewis.
00:52:29I really enjoyed last night.
00:52:31So, when can I be your real boyfriend?
00:52:34I don't know.
00:52:35I don't know.
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:37I don't know.
00:52:38I don't know.
00:52:39I don't know.
00:52:40I don't know.
00:52:41I don't know.
00:52:42Be my real boyfriend.
00:52:44I'm so sorry, Lewis.
00:52:46You have nothing to apologise for, Ava.
00:52:49I'm more than happy to pretend to be your boyfriend in front of Chris.
00:52:53I'll always be waiting for you.
00:52:55You deserve someone better, Lewis.
00:52:59I'm sorry.
00:53:05Ava, I really like you.
00:53:07That doesn't mean we have to rush into anything.
00:53:09I'm... I'm just hoping you think about it.
00:53:15That doesn't mean we have to rush into anything.
00:53:17I'm... I'm just hoping you think about it.
00:53:20Lewis, you're a great friend, but...
00:53:23I couldn't do that to you, I'm sorry.
00:53:26Wish you, uh, could lie just a little bit.
00:53:30So, you and Dr. Hayes!
00:53:33Seems like a real rollercoaster.
00:53:35You sure you don't want some help?
00:53:37What do you mean?
00:53:38I can pretend to be your boyfriend.
00:53:40Maybe I'd consider it, if I didn't know you had feelings for me.
00:53:45Ada, I don't care if you think you're using me.
00:53:48As long as you're happy, I'm happy.
00:53:51Good boy.
00:53:53Kids adore you.
00:53:54So you two never actually dated?
00:54:03I just went to the concert with Lewis because I wanted to thank him.
00:54:07So you did that, just to make me jealous?
00:54:09No, not everything is about you, Chris.
00:54:13It was just a friendly get-together with a good friend.
00:54:15But you knew how that would make me feel, didn't you?
00:54:19We did break up.
00:54:20It was a healing process, Chris.
00:54:22A healing process?
00:54:24Well, you irritated me, Ada.
00:54:27And seducing me won't save you this time.
00:54:29Then show me what you're gonna do to a bad girl, Dr. Hayes.
00:54:34Chris, we've been gone for a long time, our parents might see us.
00:54:41I can't.
00:54:43Do you?
00:54:43Me neither.
00:54:50Do your students know how impatient you are, Dr. Hayes?
00:54:53My patience has been tested by a very bad student.
00:55:05Hmm, they don't seem to be back yet.
00:55:07Are you ready, Chris?
00:55:08Yeah.
00:55:11You know, Ben, I've been noticing Chris and Ava's warm lately.
00:55:18You mean they've been getting a bit too close lately?
00:55:21A little.
00:55:22Yeah, but don't worry.
00:55:23I mean, Ava just said Chris is helping tutor her, so that might...
00:55:29What's the matter?
00:55:31Everyone seems to be happy that they're getting along.
00:55:34Our relationship can't go beyond siblings.
00:55:37I can't have Chris making the same mistakes as me.
00:55:39I'm going after a commoner!
00:55:41What?!
00:55:43James, I am not a commoner!
00:55:46No!
00:55:50...go beyond siblings.
00:55:53My siblings, huh?
00:55:54Shut up!
00:55:55I'm going after a commoner!
00:55:57What?!
00:55:59I'm not a commoner!
00:56:04Oh!
00:56:11Someone may see us.
00:56:13Don't worry. I think I'll lock the door.
00:56:17Chris, are you in there?
00:56:19What are we gonna do?
00:56:21Ava, it's okay.
00:56:23Ben is with me.
00:56:24Our dean is working for you.
00:56:27Sorry to interrupt.
00:56:28Chris, I need to talk to you.
00:56:31Good to see you, Ava.
00:56:32It's good to see you too, Dean...
00:56:35Professor...
00:56:36Cole.
00:56:46Do you know what you're doing?
00:56:49What do you mean?
00:56:50You're practically at war, your Grace.
00:56:53Ava is a commoner. She can't help you much.
00:56:55Sophia Sterling, on the other hand, is a much better match.
00:56:58A much better duchess.
00:57:00I'm aware.
00:57:02But I can't define my feelings for Ava, Ben.
00:57:05Chris...
00:57:06I love her.
00:57:07Chris, you gotta see me, Dean.
00:57:10Yes, your Grace.
00:57:12Of course, your Grace.
00:57:21What did you talk about with Ben?
00:57:23He seemed upset.
00:57:25Just business talks.
00:57:27Nothing I can't handle.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:30We should probably get going.
00:57:31We've been gone long enough and they're probably waiting for us at the restaurant.
00:57:36What?
00:57:38So you brought me here just to tease me?
00:57:42It's my mum.
00:57:47Hi, mum.
00:57:49Yeah, it shouldn't be too long.
00:57:52No, I haven't seen Chris.
00:57:55Bye.
00:58:01Bye.
00:58:07Chris?
00:58:10Will this be a surprise date?
00:58:12Chris, come at her or I'll leave.
00:58:23Mum?
00:58:32How do you explain this?
00:58:35How do you explain this?
00:58:39I...
00:58:40Have you two gone all the way?
00:58:43Unbelievable!
00:58:46I told you not to marry James.
00:58:50You're pregnant.
00:58:52What?
00:58:53Tell me.
00:58:55To calm down.
00:58:59You shameless whore!
00:59:11Just wake up!
00:59:15Chris will never, ever end up with a girl like you.
00:59:24I never expected to be with him forever.
00:59:28What about you? You always bring some random man to the house.
00:59:33What are you talking about?
00:59:36Who told you that?
00:59:39No one told me anything. I've seen it with my own eyes.
00:59:43You bring some mysterious man to the house every time James isn't there.
00:59:49I'm not stupid!
00:59:51Adam?
00:59:57Chris?
00:59:59You okay?
01:00:01Have you seen Adam? He's supposed to be home now.
01:00:04She's out with her mother having some girl time.
01:00:07You sure?
01:00:09She has to be next for my call.
01:00:11Join me.
01:00:13What's going on with you and Ava?
01:00:22Well, I'm sure you already know this.
01:00:26But myself and Ava are now official.
01:00:31Chris.
01:00:33You can date as many commoners as you like.
01:00:38But you have to marry Lady Sophia.
01:00:41I'm not marrying Sophia. Myself and Ava are official.
01:00:45You have a royal title.
01:00:47You have a royal title.
01:00:50Royal duties to perform.
01:00:53How could anyone as ordinary as Ava be your Duchess?
01:00:59Apart from the fact that her mother is my wife and she is your sister.
01:01:04You know where she is, don't you?
01:01:07The King thinks.
01:01:09I don't care what the King thinks. Tell me where she is.
01:01:13Ava is with her boyfriend.
01:01:17Ava needs to be with someone of her own kind.
01:01:20Where we don't belong.
01:01:28You mean Lewis?
01:01:30Yeah, the little guy.
01:01:35Chris.
01:01:41Ava?
01:01:43Are you okay?
01:01:44Lewis, why are you here?
01:01:48You sent me the message, remember?
01:01:53Okay, are you hurt?
01:01:55I'm feeling sick.
01:01:57My mum...
01:01:59What?
01:02:00She drugged me again.
01:02:05Okay, can you walk? Let's get you out of here.
01:02:10She drugged me again.
01:02:14What did you do to her?
01:02:18This is not what you think it is.
01:02:20Stay away from her or I'll end you.
01:02:23Chris, stop!
01:02:28Ava, are you okay?
01:02:42Do you need anything else?
01:02:45Don't go, Chris. Please, stay.
01:02:54I'm not going anywhere, okay?
01:03:06I can't believe what I'm seeing!
01:03:11I can't believe what I'm seeing!
01:03:14I can't believe what I'm seeing!
01:03:18Chris, you and I are going to have a sibling soon.
01:03:23Does it look like I care?
01:03:25Mum, you drugged me again. I'm your daughter.
01:03:30Ava, you should be with Lewis.
01:03:33Or do you want the whole world to know that you're sleeping with your step-brother?
01:03:39You lay one finger on her and see what happens.
01:03:45What have you found out?
01:03:47Ava Bennett is not affiliated with Sullivan & Co. She's nobody.
01:03:52Good. It makes things easier.
01:03:57I can't believe it!
01:03:59This is a really nice house, James.
01:04:02I sent a message to your father but I didn't expect you to be here so soon.
01:04:06I just can't wait to meet my future husband.
01:04:09And everyone's expecting Chris to come back.
01:04:11Ava! Ava! Come and meet your future sister-in-law.
01:04:15That's news to me.
01:04:18Chris, you don't want to disappoint your dad or my family, do you?
01:04:24Sophia, I acknowledge what you and your family have done.
01:04:27But just to clear the air, Ava here is my girlfriend.
01:04:32Excuse us.
01:04:39He'll come around, Sophia.
01:04:41Have you seen your room yet?
01:04:43Oh, did you want to show me?
01:04:44Yeah, of course.
01:04:51So you have a future husband?
01:04:53Yes.
01:04:55And you're going to marry him?
01:04:57Yes.
01:04:59So you have a future wife?
01:05:01Ava.
01:05:03When am I going to be invited to the wedding?
01:05:05There is no wedding.
01:05:07Sophia's dad is a resourceful and wealthy man.
01:05:10He's pushed marriage on us many times.
01:05:12But I would never. Ever.
01:05:14Chris.
01:05:16Ava, I'm crazy about you.
01:05:18You shouldn't have hit Lewis.
01:05:20My mum drugged me. Lewis was just there to protect me.
01:05:23And have you ever wondered why he approached you?
01:05:26Why he approached your mum?
01:05:28He's just a good friend.
01:05:30A good friend.
01:05:32A good friend who clearly wants to be more than a friend.
01:05:35And yet there's someone in your house claiming you two are getting married.
01:05:48And yet there's someone in your house claiming you two are getting married.
01:05:52Doesn't seem like a strong relationship, does it?
01:05:59You're not supposed to be in here.
01:06:04Michael's schedule for the next three months?
01:06:07He told you.
01:06:09I come in good faith.
01:06:19What do you think, Chris?
01:06:21I think.
01:06:23That I have a girlfriend.
01:06:25Siblings?
01:06:26Ava and I are together.
01:06:28And nothing is going to change that.
01:06:30You never know.
01:06:43What have you got for me?
01:06:45It only works for a few minutes.
01:06:47That's all I need.
01:06:57Whoops.
01:07:01Chris, we're still going to the...
01:07:03Ava, did you leave something?
01:07:06What are you doing?
01:07:08Chris is such a strong man.
01:07:12But you already knew that, didn't you, Ava?
01:07:14No, I don't believe it.
01:07:16Well, believe it, because Chris is mine.
01:07:19And the sooner you accept that, the easier it's going to be for you.
01:07:23Chris, wake up!
01:07:27No!
01:07:34I'm so sorry.
01:07:39I'm so sorry.
01:07:43Chris?
01:07:46Chris, wake up!
01:07:48What did you do to him?
01:07:50Me?
01:07:52You're the one who got in the way, Ava.
01:07:54I'm a lady, okay?
01:07:56You're no one.
01:07:58Leave Chris or I will deal with you myself.
01:08:00What are you going to do?
01:08:04And this?
01:08:08This is just the beginning.
01:08:10Don't do this, please.
01:08:13Chris, wake up!
01:08:15Ava?
01:08:19What did you do to Ava, Sophia?
01:08:21Nothing.
01:08:23It's not what it looks like, okay?
01:08:24Chris, she's not the right one for you.
01:08:26That's why you hurt her.
01:08:28Enough!
01:08:30You need to leave, Sophia.
01:08:32You'll never come back.
01:08:36Are you okay?
01:08:45Here you go.
01:08:47Chris is making a big mistake.
01:08:49And when he fails, it's going to be you who's to blame.
01:08:51I know you have a faithful family, Sophia.
01:08:53But you're not the only one who can help Chris.
01:08:55And you think you can?
01:08:57I may not be my child, but I have this friend.
01:09:00Her name is Zoe Smith.
01:09:02Her brother is very happy to ally with Chris.
01:09:04How do you know Zoe Smith?
01:09:06Is Chris letting you help with the business?
01:09:08Of course he is.
01:09:10There's no secrets between us.
01:09:12Is that so?
01:09:14Love isn't a competition, Sophia.
01:09:16We spend time with the people we care about.
01:09:18Not with the people who will bring us the most profit.
01:09:21I hope you find the right man one day.
01:09:24Goodbye, Sophia.
01:09:27Sophia, I heard you're going to the dinner tomorrow night.
01:09:30Hosted by Bullet Blackwood.
01:09:32I'm taking over.
01:09:34So don't cause any trouble.
01:09:36Are you planning to go public with her tomorrow?
01:09:38Chris, you can't, okay?
01:09:40It's far too soon.
01:09:42I'm ready to face you, Sophia.
01:09:44Michael is my man.
01:09:45I'm ready to face you, Sophia.
01:09:47Michael as well.
01:09:49See you tomorrow.
01:09:50Come on.
01:10:14Ava, let's go!
01:10:20Ava! Come here!
01:10:23Oh my god.
01:10:25Look at the size of this place.
01:10:27I mean, how cool.
01:10:29Are you okay?
01:10:31Yeah, I'm okay.
01:10:33Just not used to a place this fancy.
01:10:35You'll do great.
01:10:38Zoe, hi.
01:10:40Hi.
01:10:42Do you mind if I borrow Ava for a minute?
01:10:44Yeah, she's all yours.
01:10:46You hear that?
01:10:48You're all mine.
01:10:50Well, where are we going?
01:10:53Everyone.
01:10:56I have an announcement.
01:11:00First of all, I'd like to thank the Lord of Blackwood.
01:11:04Thank you, Ben.
01:11:08My name is Chris Hastings,
01:11:10and I am back.
01:11:12I'm not here to take part.
01:11:14I'm here to take over.
01:11:16Almost ten years ago now,
01:11:17I disappeared for safety purposes.
01:11:20As of a couple of days ago,
01:11:22my team has submitted crucial evidence.
01:11:25The Hastings car crash investigation
01:11:28is now open.
01:11:30And now,
01:11:32I'm ready to kick Michael Sullivan's ass.
01:11:35I also have a special announcement.
01:11:39Along this bumpy journey,
01:11:41I found someone special.
01:11:44Someone who sets my heart on fire.
01:11:48Someone I love.
01:11:56Ava Benner.
01:12:01Will you marry me?
01:12:13Will you marry me?
01:12:18This isn't part of the plan.
01:12:21You didn't say anything about proposing.
01:12:23Yes, I know. I'm aware.
01:12:25But you said yes.
01:12:27Yes, Chris.
01:12:31She said yes.
01:12:48I'm sorry. Thank you for understanding.
01:12:53Who are you?
01:13:01An epic party always ends in tragedy.
01:13:04Let's see if Chris will still marry you like this, Ava.
01:13:12Ava.
01:13:14Oh!
01:13:16Why is Jack...
01:13:19Seems like he knew the perpetrator, Sophia.
01:13:22Wasn't he working for you, Chris?
01:13:25Are you... You can't be suspecting me.
01:13:28She's the suspicious one.
01:13:30She is killing people around you.
01:13:33She's a killer!
01:13:35He's not dead, Sophia.
01:13:37Yes, he is.
01:13:39There's surveillance cameras everywhere.
01:13:42He attacked me. I was just self-defencing.
01:13:43Self-defencing is not a word.
01:13:45Yes, it is.
01:13:47Self-defencing is a word.
01:13:49You brought in a spy.
01:13:51No, self-defencing is not a word and he's not a spy, okay?
01:13:53He's working for me.
01:13:55So you admitted it was your plan.
01:13:57Tell you what.
01:13:59It was our plan to draw him out.
01:14:07Chris, please. What about us?
01:14:09Sophia, there never wasn't us.
01:14:10Do you seriously want me to reconsider business with your father?
01:14:13No.
01:14:15Then you have your answer.
01:14:24Ava, are you okay?
01:14:27I can't help it. I think I'm utterly useless.
01:14:32Ava, I don't need a girlfriend to help me.
01:14:36I just want to make sure you're safe.
01:14:38I just want to make sure you're safe.
01:14:49How could you be so reckless, Chris?
01:14:52You should have spoken to me first. What were you thinking?
01:14:55We've nearly got enough to put Michael Sullivan behind bars.
01:14:57And this is the love of my life.
01:14:59You are playing with fire.
01:15:01Do you ever really care for the man who raised you?
01:15:05Do you even respect him?
01:15:07And Ava!
01:15:13Oh my god, have you thought about my unborn child?
01:15:17And the scandal because his step-siblings not only slept together,
01:15:23but they decided to tell the whole world about it.
01:15:26I am so disappointed, Chris.
01:15:31Father!
01:15:33James!
01:15:37James!
01:15:53He got away.
01:15:57Wait!
01:16:00James, honey!
01:16:02James!
01:16:04James is gone.
01:16:07Good dad.
01:16:19I'm so sorry, Chris.
01:16:21Please say something.
01:16:24It's not safe here anymore, Ava.
01:16:27Zoe will pick you and your mum up to a safe house.
01:16:30It's not safe here anymore.
01:16:32What about you?
01:16:34Can't I just stay with you?
01:16:37Because what happened to Uncle James could happen to any one of us.
01:16:40And I can't allow that to happen.
01:16:43I'll see you soon, babe.
01:16:56Ava, I'll be with you in ten minutes, okay?
01:16:59Do you need anything? I can pick up some stuff along the way.
01:17:02I'm okay, thank you though.
01:17:03Um, I'll get my mum first and then I'll meet you at the front.
01:17:08See you soon.
01:17:10Bye.
01:17:14Mum, we need to go!
01:17:17Mum?
01:17:20Mum?
01:17:24Oh my god!
01:17:28Ava!
01:17:30Who are you?
01:17:31It's so good to finally meet you.
01:17:34I'm Michael Sullivan.
01:17:39I'm Michael Sullivan.
01:17:53Michael, you pathetic, evil son of a bitch, let me out!
01:17:57Let me out!
01:17:59You've got quite a mouth on you there, Ava.
01:18:02You wouldn't want me to cut your tongue out, would you?
01:18:06You wouldn't do that. You need me talking to get to Chris.
01:18:09Oh, do I?
01:18:12You see, babe, you think far too low of me.
01:18:17I don't really care to get Christopher himself.
01:18:21I just want to make his life a living misery for as long as he lives.
01:18:27And I was doing well.
01:18:31So well.
01:18:33That frightened little kitten was living in fear.
01:18:37Until you showed up.
01:18:41Well, I'm going to crush you, Ava, like I did his mother and father.
01:18:46And then I'll send you to him, piece by piece.
01:18:54You bitch!
01:18:57Ava!
01:19:03Chris is dying!
01:19:06A few years ago, when I was dead, I killed witnesses.
01:19:12I killed them all.
01:19:14We were a family.
01:19:17Zoe!
01:19:18I've come to save you, Ava. It's okay. Chris is on his way.
01:19:21We're going to go. You need to follow me.
01:19:28Okay.
01:19:39Mom, what are you doing here?
01:19:43Hey, darling.
01:19:45Mom, what have you done?
01:19:47I've always been a strong woman.
01:19:50You should know that, Ava.
01:19:52Michael's the father of my child.
01:19:56I just moved in with James to spy on Chris.
01:20:00James loved you and he's dead because of you. Is that what you wanted?
01:20:06Mom, no!
01:20:10How could you do that? She's carrying your child.
01:20:13Which I never asked for.
01:20:16She served her purpose.
01:20:18Now it's your turn.
01:20:21Stop!
01:20:26Is that true, Lewis?
01:20:47Lewis, what are you doing here?
01:20:49Zoe, I'm going to...
01:20:50Whoa. Ava, I know that there's a lot going on right now, but we need to get out of here now.
01:20:55Ava, are you okay? We need to get you out of here.
01:20:58Whoa, you haven't told us why you're here.
01:21:01There's no time for that.
01:21:03No, you're not taking Ava anywhere until you tell us exactly why you're here.
01:21:10Michael Sullivan is my dad.
01:21:13What?
01:21:15I'm ashamed of what he's done. Really, I am. Believe me, I'm nothing like him.
01:21:18Believe me, I'm nothing like him. I just want to get you out of here, Ava.
01:21:22Come on!
01:21:24How are we supposed to believe you, Lewis?
01:21:27Look!
01:21:30Oh, for God's sake, come on!
01:21:37Are you okay?
01:21:41Thanks for everything, Lewis.
01:21:45No, thank you for telling me what my dad did.
01:21:49You told Lewis to come here?
01:21:51I did.
01:21:53I'm sorry for choking you.
01:21:55Friends?
01:21:57Friends.
01:22:15Father!
01:22:16James!
01:22:25Mum, no!
01:22:29Ava, are you okay?
01:22:32You were having a nightmare.
01:22:34He killed her, Chris.
01:22:36She was pregnant with his child and he killed her.
01:22:39I know.
01:22:41But he's gone now.
01:22:43We don't have to worry anymore.
01:22:44She was the only family I had.
01:22:48You've got me now, Ava.
01:22:55You've got me now, Ava.
01:22:58Did you get my phone?
01:23:00I recorded Michael talking about the car crash.
01:23:04I hope it'll help.
01:23:06There's not much else I can do.
01:23:08Ava, why would you say that?
01:23:10Sophia was right.
01:23:11She'll be a much better wife than I.
01:23:14Please don't say that.
01:23:17You were the love of my life.
01:23:20You were the person I want to see every morning.
01:23:23Every night.
01:23:25The thought of losing you kills me.
01:23:28Ava, I was scared when I found out you were gone tonight.
01:23:32The thought of what he could have done to you.
01:23:35It was like being stabbed in the chest with a knife.
01:23:38Through my heart.
01:23:40Through my heart.
01:23:42Through my soul.
01:23:46I'm going to arrange a wedding.
01:23:48Marry me.
01:23:50Please.
01:23:52Yes.
01:24:04Oh my god, Ava, you look gorgeous.
01:24:16Sophia?
01:24:18What are you doing here? You're not invited.
01:24:20It's okay, Zoe.
01:24:22What do you want, Sophia?
01:24:24Well, now that Michael Sullivan's been taken care of, I just...
01:24:27I wanted to stay the best woman one.
01:24:29But Chris is still working with us.
01:24:40I have one more guest, Chris.
01:24:46Dad?
01:24:51Dad?
01:24:53Ava.
01:24:57It's good to see you.
01:25:01Ava's father.
01:25:03An entire time.
01:25:05Dad, how...
01:25:06It must be such a shock.
01:25:09I was a key witness to the car accident that killed Chris' parents.
01:25:13My testimony and your recording was what brought Michael down in the end.
01:25:18I saw everything that day.
01:25:22Chris, you're a good man for protecting her the way you did.
01:25:30And I was the one that gave you the bracelet.
01:25:33And I was the one that gave you the bracelet so that they'd think that you were one of them.
01:25:39And I'm so sorry.
01:25:41I didn't contact you and Emma after the divorce because Sullivan was after me.
01:25:47As much as it would hurt, I knew that the only way to protect you from them was to leave.
01:25:55I can't...
01:25:57I'm so sorry it took so long.
01:25:59It took so long.
01:26:01I never wanted it to be that way.
01:26:05I love you.
01:26:15You've got more important things to do now, so get up there.
01:26:20Lewis couldn't be here today, but he asked me to give you this.
01:26:30Wishing you a happy life with Chris.
01:26:32If not, you know where to find me.
01:26:36Not gonna happen.
01:26:40We will live our best lives together.
01:26:42Forever.
01:26:46Well, are we ready to begin?
01:26:48Yes.
01:26:49Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the house of God to celebrate the union of Christopher Alphonse Martin.
01:26:58I do.
01:26:59No, Chris, you have to leave.
01:27:00I do too.
01:27:01Bye.
01:27:02Kiss the bride.
