00:00:00I've given her something strong.
00:00:06She's not going anywhere.
00:00:07Five grand.
00:00:08And she's yours for the night.
00:00:09Please, someone!
00:00:11Where are you, little girl?
00:00:12Help!
00:00:13Don't tell them who I am.

00:00:43What's going on here, Grace?
00:00:44Where are you now, whore?
00:00:45Right.
00:00:46No.
00:00:47I found them already.
00:00:48It's okay.
00:00:49No.
00:00:50I don't know what drugs you're on, lady, but you're safe here.
00:00:51I'm not.
00:00:52I'm not.

00:01:34I'm not.
00:01:35I'm not.
00:01:36I'm not.
00:01:37Come on, let's get you to the bathroom.
00:01:46I'll be right here if you need me.
00:01:52How could she?
00:01:53She'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 that helped, so that was good.
00:02:01Are you okay, Ava?
00:02:02And who's that man?
00:02:04I don't remember.
00:02:05Well, 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 my 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 livid!
00:02:50Make yourself at home, honey!
00:02:53Ava, go help our guest, please.
00:02:57So, Chris, do you just casually break into other people's homes?
00:03:01I 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.
00:03:19And Chris?
00:03:21Chris is gonna be your step-brother.
00:03:25So be nice.
00:03:27What?
00:03:31What?
00:03:34Yes.
00:03:35Oh, thank you.
00:03:37Please, tell James I love him.
00:03:39We'll do that.
00:03:41Ava, we'll Chris the door.
00:03:44And behave yourself.
00:03:49Bye, Chrissy.
00:03:53Just so we're clear, I'm moving out by the end of this semester,
00:03:56so we don't have to play this step-brother and sister shit, okay?
00:04:00Wait.
00:04:03It was you last night.
00:04:05I saved you last night.
00:04:07And listen, I don't want to play this step-brother, step-sister shit either.
00:04:11So you keep your distance from me, and I'll keep my distance from you.
00:04:13Got it?
00:04:15Also, don't force yourself onto me in the shower again.
00:04:18I was drugged.
00:04:19It's half the drugs.
00:04:22Trust me, I'll make sure they don't marry.
00:04:26Okay.
00:04:28Psycho.
00:04:32Look at that one.
00:04:34I know, I can do that.
00:04:40Hey, Ava.
00:04:42I heard you got a new step-dad.
00:04:43Step-dad.
00:04:45Congrats.
00:04:46What is it?
00:04:47Like, number...
00:04:48Eight.
00:04:49Eight?
00:04:50Oh, my God.
00:04:51The list just keeps on growing.
00:04:53Yeah.
00:04:54No offense, but do you think you're following in your mum's footsteps?
00:04:59Oh, my God.
00:05:01Look at that.
00:05:02I'm so sorry.
00:05:04Please 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 fence you 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.
00:05:28I can't believe it.
00:05:32My name is Dr. Hayes.
00:05:33I'll be your guest lecturer this semester.
00:05:36Chris?
00:05:40Chris?
00:05:42My name is Dr. Hayes.
00:05:43I'll be your guest lecturer this semester.
00:05:46We'll be doing physics.
00:05:50Pretty face.
00:05:54Noah?
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.
00:06:26Mom?
00:06:27Give the lunchbox to Chris, Ava.
00:06:30It's lasagna.
00:06:31His favourite.
00:06:33A good impression is important for us.
00:06:36I'm not going to suck up to you, Mom.
00:06:38Can't you just find a job?
00:06:39Jobs aren't for people like me.
00:06:42Just do as I said, Ava.
00:06:45Dr. Hayes?
00:06:46Come in.
00:06:50Thank you for today.
00:06:51My mum made you lunch.
00:06:55Take it back.
00:06:56You don't like it.
00:06:59Your mother is a gold digger.
00:07:01The night I found you at the hotel, she was in a bad mood.
00:07:05I'm sorry.
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:07I'm sorry.
00:07:08I'm sorry.
00:07:09I'm sorry.
00:07:10I'm sorry.
00:07:11I'm sorry.
00:07:12I'm sorry.
00:07:13The night I found you at the hotel, you were delirious.
00:07:16Ava, whatever you've got planned to get into my family, knock it off.
00:07:19I don't know anything about your family, Chris.
00:07:21I 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 met a real homo before.
00:07:41You're a virgin.
00:07:43What?
00:07:47You're a virgin.
00:07:49What?
00:07:52No.
00:07:53You said you were like a good boy, Chris.
00:08:01I warned you.
00:08:07Is that Ava?
00:08:10I bet Dr. Hayes comes from a rich family.
00:08:13I mean, I couldn't find him on Google.
00:08:15Plus, look at what he wears.
00:08:17No wonder girls throw themselves at him.
00:08:22Yes.
00:08:26Are you getting anything?
00:08:28No.
00:08:34Good idea.
00:08:35I can't wait for tomorrow.
00:08:40Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:08:42What are you doing?
00:08:43Don't you want to know if I'm a virgin?
00:08:49I think I've got my answer, let me go.
00:08:53Didn't your mum tell you to be nicer?
00:08:55Please.
00:09:10I warned you.
00:09:12Don't you want to know if I'm a virgin?
00:09:14Ava, you can't do this.
00:09:17This is a mistake.
00:09:34Who's there?
00:09:39Who's there?
00:09:57You, what are you doing in here?
00:10:01You, what are you doing in here?
00:10:03What are you doing in here?
00:10:04This is the men's bathroom.
00:10:05This 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?
00:10:36We saw her go in.
00:10:39What am I going to do?
00:10:41Hold on.
00:10:50Open up, Dr Hayes.
00:10:52Why are you trying to watch me shower? What is wrong with you?
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.
00:11:21Get out.
00:11:22No, no, no.
00:11:23I'm sorry, Dr Hayes.
00:11:24It was Ava's fault, she was trying to prank us.
00:11:32Thank you, Chris.
00:11:33That's okay.
00:11:35Looks 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.
00:11:59James.
00:12:00Where have you been hiding him?
00:12:03And Ava is available too.
00:12:05Thanks, James.
00:12:06Ava, James got Chris to look out for you.
00:12:09Has he pulled up any of his tricks yet?
00:12:12I've been addressed.
00:12:13He's great.
00:12:15That's good to hear.
00:12:17Yes, it's so wonderful you two are getting along.
00:12:21I propose a toast.
00:12:25To us.
00:12:26To physics.
00:12:27One big happy family.
00:12:30Cheers.
00:12:31Cheers.
00:12:57Cheers.
00:13:15Would anyone care to explain what all this is?
00:13:20Miss Bennett, is that you?
00:13:22Yes, yes it is.
00:13:24Ava, this is Grace.
00:13:26And it's also a little bit stalkerish.
00:13:29You're right.
00:13:31It is gross.
00:13:32It is a little stalkerish.
00:13:35How did they end up there, I wonder?
00:13:38Anyone have any explanation for this?
00:13:46No one?
00:13:47I'm sorry, that's all my fault.
00:13:49What?
00:13:51Are you serious?
00:13:52I made them when I was by myself in class.
00:13:56I just forgot to take them off.
00:13:58I apologise to Dr Hayes and to you too, Dean.
00:14:12Why did you admit it?
00:14:13Why did you lie back there?
00:14:14I know you didn't do it.
00:14:16Because it was exactly what I wanted.
00:14:19What do you mean?
00:14:20If our parents knew about this, they wouldn't get married.
00:14:23You want the same, right?
00:14:24Want to team up with me, Doctor?
00:14:26So you slandered your own reputation to stop my dad marrying your mum?
00:14:29I don't care what other people say.
00:14:31Neil, you're in or out.
00:14:33Is that all you want?
00:14:34What else do I want then?
00:14:44You're not as smart as you think you are.
00:14:46You're not as smart as you think you are.
00:14:50Well, that was rude.
00:14:58Bold 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.
00:15:17No one's coming to rescue you.
00:15:21Doctor Hayes?
00:15:23You nearly killed her.
00:15:25What?
00:15:26It wasn't...
00:15:27It was...
00:15:29It was Ava.
00:15:30I didn't do anything.
00:15:31She fell down herself.
00:15:33I can see with my own eyes, Daniela.
00:15:35If I start like that again, you'll be expelled.
00:15:37Now get lost.
00:15:42Are you okay?
00:15:44Ow!
00:15:45I think I sprained my ankle.
00:15:47Get 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.
00:16:12Once you ask for it, it'll be fine.
00:16:14Wait.
00:16:15Are you seriously not considering my suggestion?
00:16:18We can stop this nonsense together.
00:16:25Wait.
00:16:26Are you seriously not considering my suggestion?
00:16:29We can stop this nonsense together.
00:16:32The gold meter.
00:16:33You don't want to be my brother, do you?
00:16:40What is this?
00:16:42We're practicing, aren't we?
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.
00:17:09I won't do it again, Dr. Hayes.
00:17:17Take your things upstairs.
00:17:19Leave mine down here.
00:17:22Why did we have to move in anyway?
00:17:24We were fine in the old apartment.
00:17:26Apparently, in this economy, Ava, I'm doing you a favor.
00:17:31You don't have to pay rent.
00:17:33Be grateful.
00:17:34And please, please be nice to Chris.
00:17:38We're practically brother and sister now.
00:17:41We aren't.
00:17:43Welcome, my lovely ladies.
00:17:46My love.
00:17:47Nice to see you.
00:17:49How was the packing and moving?
00:17:51It was okay.
00:17:53Start unpacking, Mum, if you want to help.
00:17:56Chris, give Ava a hand to unpack, will you?
00:17:59Let's get a drink.
00:18:05I 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? No!
00:18:35So sorry to bother you this late, but the boiler must be broken and the water is really cold.
00:18:42You can't come in, Ava.
00:18:44What are you thinking? I just need to use your bathroom to shower.
00:18:48I don't know what game you're playing at, but it's not going to work.
00:18:54Look, if you don't want us in your stupid fancy royal house,
00:18:57then why don't you just help me with my plan and stop their marriage?
00:19:02Listen, Ava, I thought we established this.
00:19:05Your plan sucks and you can't act.
00:19:08The patty was great, James. I just love meeting you.
00:19:27Oh my goodness!
00:19:29What are you doing, Ava?
00:19:35Oh my goodness!
00:19:37What are you doing, Ava?
00:19:39Chris, what are you trying to do to me?
00:19:41Chris, what have you done?
00:19:43There must be some misunderstanding.
00:19:46Right, Ava?
00:19:48I'm sorry it's my bad, but please help stop their marriage.
00:19:51I'm not going along with this. Your plan sucks.
00:19:54Her bathroom hot water isn't working.
00:19:56She came to my room to ask if she could use mine. Right, Ava?
00:20:00I'm sorry, James. It was my bad. I didn't mean to worry you both.
00:20:05Just let her use your bathroom, Chris.
00:20:09This is not funny!
00:20:12Chris is your stepbrother!
00:20:16Not yet.
00:20:20Just get up!
00:20:22Ava!
00:20:28Pull a stunt like that again and I'll rip your shirt off.
00:20:31Unless that's what you want. You could at least admit it.
00:20:45Mom?
00:20:46Ava, Chris will give you a ride today.
00:20:49Okay, bye.
00:20:51I promise I won't bite.
00:20:54Why the long face? You're the one who started this.
00:20:57No thanks. I'll walk.
00:20:59Suit yourself.
00:21:07Why does she get favouritism from Dr Hayes?
00:21:10Is everything in place?
00:21:12Yep. Let's see if he still likes her without a pretty face.
00:21:22What?
00:21:24Just so we're clear, you're the one abandoning your stupid plan.
00:21:27Firstly, it's not a stupid plan. And secondly, you're the one who keeps sabotaging it.
00:21:32That's because you're a bad actress.
00:21:34Who are you and what are you doing?
00:21:39Let's just have some fun.
00:21:41Run!
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? How did you...
00:22:26Chris, help me!
00:22:28Who's seen you?
00:22:30Hey 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.
00:23:26I think you're not trouble.
00:23:28I think you're normal.
00:23:30You've got me now.
00:23:32I'm sorry.
00:23:34Let's get you home.
00:23:47I'll be home any minute if you need anything.
00:23:52Wait. Stay.
00:23:55Please?
00:24:01Do you know what you're asking me?
00:24:03I do.
00:24:05And I mean it.
00:24:07I don't want to see you as my stepbrother or my lecturer tonight.
00:24:10I just want to see you as somebody who cares for me.
00:24:13This better not be a part of your plan, Ava.
00:24:15It's not.
00:24:17I just want you to be here. Nothing else.
00:24:20I don't know how I feel or what I should feel,
00:24:22that 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 better not be messing with my emotions.
00:24:58I'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.
00:25:29Bonnie, 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.
00:25:46I was just looking for Ava. Have you seen her?
00:25:49I haven't seen her either.
00:25:51Okay, do you know my name?
00:25:53No, I don't.
00:25:56Okay, again, I'm so sorry to interrupt you.
00:26:00It's nice to meet you, Miss.
00:26:02Goodbye, Emma.
00:26:06What 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.
00:26:26Oh, Chris.
00:26:28Your mum saw you with a girl upstairs.
00:26:30Oh, you are not going to refer to that woman as my lover.
00:26:33That's not the point.
00:26:35The point is you can't marry Ava.
00:26:37Why not?
00:26:38Chris, you need the support of the Sterlings.
00:26:41If you just marry Lady Sophia...
00:26:43I'm not marrying Sophia Sterling.
00:26:45Just so Heather can help me.
00:26:50What is it?
00:26:53What is it?
00:26:58Don't wait up for us, okay?
00:27:00I'm not sure what time we'll be home.
00:27:02Oh, and Chris is going to be out all night too.
00:27:05Oh my God.
00:27:06Ava, we really need to find you a man
00:27:09so you're not sitting around on Saturday nights like a wallflower.
00:27:13What's that guy's name?
00:27:15Lewis, yes!
00:27:17You've known him since you were 16, right?
00:27:20No, Lewis is just a friend.
00:27:22Just go enjoy yourselves and leave me be.
00:27:25As you wish.
00:27:27Good night.
00:27:43Who's there?
00:27:51Who's there?
00:28:12Chris!
00:28:17What happened?
00:28:21Who did this to you?
00:28:24Do you want me to call the cops?
00:28:27No.
00:28:28It was Michael.
00:28:29Don't call the cops.
00:28:30At least let me patch you up then
00:28:32or we go to a hospital of your choice.
00:28:34Do you want to tell me what happened?
00:28:43Ava, stop asking questions for instance.
00:28:45You don't need to 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
00:28:55if you want to be in charge so bad.
00:28:57Now 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.
00:29:13Oh my God, you...
00:29:15What are you thinking Chris?
00:29:17I love you.
00:29:26This is going to stink.
00:29:27Ava, wait.
00:29:31It's okay.
00:29:32You're okay.
00:29:34This is some kind of payback.
00:29:36Maybe.
00:29:37Now you rest
00:29:39and don't go anywhere.
00:29:41I'll be back.
00:29:47I love you.
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.
00:30:21Wake 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
00:30:35or 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
00:30:46and 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.
00:30:55Like this.
00:30:57Feel me Ava.
00:31:16I love you.
00:31:28Leaving so soon?
00:31:30Again?
00:31:34You should rest Chris.
00:31:35After last night.
00:31:36I don't need to rest Ava.
00:31:37It was a mistake last night.
00:31:39A mistake
00:31:41that we made three times.
00:31:43Shut up.
00:31:44Did you like it?
00:31:45Maybe.
00:31:46Maybe?
00:31:47Do I need to remind you how good it was?
00:31:49No, stop.
00:31:52Stop.
00:31:56Chris, I have a lecture this morning.
00:31:58A lecture?
00:32:01How about I do a brain check?
00:32:03I'm just truly grateful
00:32:05that I want to give you the opportunity
00:32:07to tell you how grateful I am for...
00:32:15This? My bracelet?
00:32:17Where 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.
00:32:23Have 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...
00:32:29I 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?
00:32:36I don't know Chris.
00:32:37I don't even know what family you're from.
00:32:39I swear I don't...
00:32:40Don't act innocent Ava.
00:32:41I don't know how you found me
00:32:43and no, I will come for now.
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
00:32:51to 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 in here.
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.
00:33:40Now please don't cause a scene.
00:33:46Ava, are you okay?
00:33:48You don't really look okay.
00:33:50I'm okay, 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 okay?
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, because Dr Hayes clearly hates you two.
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.
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!
00:35:15Get him!
00:35:30You okay?
00:35:31It was you wasn't it?
00:35:32What was me?
00:35:33Daniela said that you tried to hurt me.
00:35:37I would never try and hurt you Ava.
00:35:39She told me everything.
00:35:41You'd be impressed if they took naked photos of me
00:35:44and 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?
00:36:41What are you doing?
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!
00:37:07I mean, I am happy for you truly.
00:37:10It's just...
00:37:13You can't marry James.
00:37:15And 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 step-brother.
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?
00:37:51Am I interrupting something?
00:37:52No, 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 step-sister.
00:38:28Ava, we're going to be a family.
00:38:30Don't cause any family drama.
00:38:33I can't believe it.
00:38:35You ran into my mum and called me a slut?
00:38:39That's not the point.
00:38:41You don't have any inappropriate feelings for Ava, do you?
00:38:46Of course not.
00:38:49I get it.
00:38:52Congratulations mum for making us one big, happy family.
00:39:03She's your daughter.
00:39:05You should treat her nicer.
00:39:08Also, if there's anything you need for the wedding, just ask.
00:39:17Of course.
00:39:19Thank you Chris.
00:39:32I love you.
00:39:57Is everything okay?
00:39:59Am I interrupting something?
00:40:00I guess we are going to be step-brother and step-sister.
00:40:05Oh mum!
00:40:07Hi hun.
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? You 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.
00:41:27Miss Smith, to our knowledge her family is on our side.
00:41:30There's no reason why.
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.
00:41:59Beautiful 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.
00:42:11So, would you like to come with me as my friend or...
00:42:15What are you doing?
00:42:18I'll go with you.
00:42:20As boyfriend and girlfriend.
00:42:25You two are in a relationship.
00:42:28Since when?
00:42:29Well, since about a minute ago.
00:42:33Though to be honest with you, Dr Hayes, I've been dreaming about this day ever since I was 16.
00:42:39Oh, I should reintroduce myself to you as Ava's boyfriend.
00:42:42Because you're Ava's step-brother.
00:42:44Says who?
00:42:45Says your dad and my mum.
00:42:47Come on, Chris.
00:42:48He is my boyfriend.
00:42:49You don't want to be rude to her again.
00:42:51Tell him to leave.
00:42:52Why should he?
00:42:54Come on, Lewis.
00:42:55Shall we go for a little bit of fresh air?
00:42:58Sounds good.
00:43:02Where shall we go?
00:43:07Ava!
00:43:08Ava!
00:43:11What's going on between you and Lewis?
00:43:12Are you trying to punish me?
00:43:14What's going on between you and Lewis?
00:43:15Are you trying to punish me?
00:43:20Me?
00:43:21Aren't you the one trying to punish me?
00:43:23I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
00:43:25It wasn't my intention to hurt you, Ava.
00:43:27I don't know how to talk to you, Chris.
00:43:29Stop harassing me, Chris.
00:43:30I'll always look like Mum and James.
00:43:32You look stunning today.
00:43:41Interesting.
00:43:43You have the same taste in clothes.
00:43:45Oh my god!
00:43:46You look great!
00:43:49Sorry, sorry, but I haven't seen you around.
00:43:52You are...
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 my stepbrother.
00:44:16Ooh, forbidden 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.
00:44:31I 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.
00:44:37He's just...
00:44:39Never mind.
00:44:40Boys, right?
00:44:41They never learn until they get themselves hurt.
00:44:44Or, um...
00:44:45Their loved ones.
00:44:50Have a nice day, Ava.
00:44:57What are you doing in here?
00:44:58This is the ladies' bathroom.
00:45:00What's taking you so long?
00:45:02Who were you talking to?
00:45:03It was just a girl.
00:45:04She left a minute ago.
00:45:06Just a girl?
00:45:07What? I can't even talk to girls now.
00:45:09Enjoy your evening.
00:45:11Chris?
00:45:18Watch out, Ava.
00:45:20We don't just have the same taste in clothes.
00:45:26Ah!
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.
00:45:49Ava, 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, but...
00:45:57Why 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.
00:46:02Then what do you want from me?
00:46:04Because I can't handle this hot and cold anymore.
00:46:06I just can't bear the thought of losing you again.
00:46:09Are you serious?
00:46:10You screamed at me.
00:46:11You broke my bracelet.
00:46:13And you can't...
00:46:14Loot...
00:46:15What?
00:46:18Ava, look.
00:46:19I'm sorry.
00:46:20I figured it out.
00:46:22My mother's pregnant.
00:46:23A new 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.
00:46:33I'm not your brother.
00:46:34Do not call me that.
00:46:35Our parents are married now.
00:46:36Chris, it's done.
00:46:37Let me go!
00:46:41Okay.
00:46:49Yeah, okay.
00:46:50You have fun with James, Mum.
00:46:51Bye.
00:46:55Oh my God!
00:47:00The wound hasn't healed yet?
00:47:02These are new.
00:47:03I may need a bandage.
00:47:10Can I come in?
00:47:17Just put them on the shelf.
00:47:32Ava!
00:47:34Oh, you look gorgeous!
00:47:36Have a wonderful night, okay?
00:47:38Don't come home too soon.
00:47:40It's just a concert, Mum.
00:47:41I won't be long.
00:47:44A date, huh?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46I'm going to a concert with Lewis.
00:47:49Bye.
00:47:50Okay, bye!
00:47:51Have fun!
00:48:05Thank you for inviting me, Lewis.
00:48:07Thank you for coming out.
00:48:11You look beautiful tonight, Ava.
00:48:13Oh, you're too kind.
00:48:15Oh, I just need to go to the toilet real quick.
00:48:19Are you okay here?
00:48:21I am.
00:48:22Sweet.
00:48:23I will try not to be long.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:32What 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.
00:48:50That'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.
00:49:43I 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...
00:49:55Just leave it.
00:49:56Just leave it.
00:50:01And that's what you want?
00:50:03What else do I want?
00:50:05Everyone still thinks we're step-siblings.
00:50:15Oh, Ava, how was your night, honey?
00:50:19Yeah, it was fun.
00:50:20Yeah?
00:50:21When are we gonna meet him?
00:50:23Please bring him around sometime.
00:50:25Next time.
00:50:26Oh, come on.
00:50:33Bring him home, huh?
00:50:35Lewis.
00:50:36It's what our parents wanted after I lost my boyfriend.
00:50:39He's not your boyfriend.
00:50:40Ava, you're driving me crazy.
00:50:44Ava, you're driving me crazy.
00:50:48Let go of my hands, Chris.
00:50:50My mum will be here any minute.
00:50:52I don't care.
00:50:54I love you, Ava.
00:50:55You'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!
00:51:22Ava!
00:51:27Ava!
00:51:29Ava, it's mum!
00:51:30I've got the custom-style dresses!
00:51:34Open the door!
00:51:36Mum's right outside.
00:51:40Mum, I'm really tired today.
00:51:42Can we do this tomorrow?
00:51:45Stop it.
00:51:46You 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, mum.
00:52:10Mum could have heard us.
00:52:11Ava, you're making me crazy.
00:52:18It's Lewis.
00:52:26It's Lewis.
00:52:28Should you answer, or should I?
00:52:30Lewis is just a good friend, actually.
00:52:33Hi, Lewis!
00:52:35I really enjoyed last night.
00:52:36So, when can I be your real boyfriend?
00:52:40I'm so sorry, Lewis.
00:52:43Do you have nothing else to say?
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 just hoping you think about it.
00:53:14That doesn't mean we have to rush into anything.
00:53:16I'm just hoping you think about it.
00:53:19Lewis, you're a great friend, but I couldn't do that to you.
00:53:23I'm sorry.
00:53:25Wish you could lie just a little bit.
00:53:29So, you and Dr Hayes.
00:53:32Seems like a real rollercoaster.
00:53:34You sure you don't want some help?
00:53:36What do you mean?
00:53:37I can pretend to be your boyfriend.
00:53:40Maybe I'd consider it if I didn't know you had feelings for me.
00:53:44Maybe I'd consider it if I didn't know you had feelings for me.
00:53:45Ava, I don't care if you think you're using me.
00:53:47As long as you're happy, I'm happy.
00:53:50Good boy.
00:53:53Kids adore you.
00:53:54So you two were never actually married?
00:54:02I just went to the concert with Lewis because I wanted to thank him.
00:54:06So you did that just to make me jealous?
00:54:09No, not everything is about you, Chris.
00:54:12It 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, Ava.
00:54:27And seducing me would save you this time.
00:54:29Then show me what you're gonna do to a bad girl, Dr Hayes.
00:54:36We've been gone for a long time.
00:54:37Our parents might see us.
00:54:40I can't.
00:54:42Do you?
00:54:43Me neither.
00:54:49Do your students know how impatient you are, Dr Hayes?
00:54:53My patience has been tested by a very bad student.
00:55:05They don't seem to be back yet.
00:55:07Are you alright, Chris?
00:55:08Yeah.
00:55:11You know, babe, I've been noticing Chris and Ava's room 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...
00:55:28What's the matter?
00:55:30They don't seem to be happy that they're getting along.
00:55:33A relationship can't go beyond siblings.
00:55:35Can't go beyond siblings?
00:55:37I can't have Chris making the same mistakes as me.
00:55:40Going after a commoner?
00:55:42What?
00:55:43James!
00:55:44I am not a commoner!
00:55:50Can't go beyond siblings?
00:55:53Siblings, huh?
00:55:54Shut up!
00:55:55Going after a commoner?
00:55:57What?
00:55:59You're not a commoner!
00:56:06Oh!
00:56:11Someone may see us.
00:56:13Don't worry.
00:56:14I think I'll lock the door.
00:56:17Chris, are you in there?
00:56:19What are we going to 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.
00:56:30Good to see you, Ava.
00:56:32It's good to see you too, dean.
00:56:35Professor Cole.
00:56:46Do you know what you're doing?
00:56:49What do you mean?
00:56:50We're practically at war, your grace.
00:56:52Ava 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've got to see where he's at now.
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.
00:57:28Ben...
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.
00:57:51No, I haven't seen Chris.
00:57:55Bye.
00:57:58Bye.
00:58:08Chris?
00:58:10Will this be a surprise date?
00:58:13Chris, come at her or I'll leave.
00:58:24Mum?
00:58:29Mum?
00:58:33How do you explain this?
00:58:35How do you explain this?
00:58:39I...
00:58:41Have you two gone all the way?
00:58:44Unbelievable!
00:58:47I told you not to marry James.
00:58:50You're pregnant.
00:58:52Do not tell me to 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!
00:59:58Chris?
01:00:00You okay?
01:00:02Have you seen Ava? She's supposed to be home now.
01:00:05She's out with her mother having some girl time.
01:00:08You sure?
01:00:10She hasn't been answering my calls.
01:00:12Join me.
01:00:14What's going on with you and Ava?
01:00:17Well, I'm sure you already know this.
01:00:21But myself and Ava are now official.
01:00:26Chris, you can date as many commoners as you like.
01:00:33But you have to marry Lady Sophia.
01:00:36I'm not marrying Sophia.
01:00:38My wife is.
01:00:40You're not?
01:00:41But you have to marry Lady Sophia.
01:00:44I'm not marrying Sophia.
01:00:46Myself and Ava are official.
01:00:48You have a royal title.
01:00:50Royal duties to perform.
01:00:52How 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?
01:01:07What would the King think?
01:01:09I don't care what the King thinks.
01:01:11Tell 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 Louis?
01:01:30Yeah, the little guy.
01:01:35Chris.
01:01:41Ava?
01:01:43Are you okay?
01:01:45Louis, 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.
01:02:09Come on.
01:02:11She 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?
01:02:38Ava?
01:02:43Do you need anything else?
01:02:46Don't go, Chris.
01:02:48Please, stay.
01:02:55I'm not going anywhere, okay?
01:02:57Okay.
01:03:07I can't believe what I'm seeing!
01:03:12I can't believe what I'm seeing!
01:03:18Oh, Chris.
01:03:20You and I were going to have a sibling soon.
01:03:24Does it look like I care?
01:03:25Mum, you drugged me again.
01:03:28I'm your daughter.
01:03:30Ava, you should be with Louis.
01:03:33Or do you want the whole world to know that you're sleeping with your stick brother?
01:03:39You lay one finger on her and see what happens.
01:03:47What have you found out?
01:03:49Ava Bennett is not affiliated with Sullivan & Co.
01:03:52She's nobody.
01:03:53Good.
01:03:55Makes things easier.
01:03:59I can't believe it!
01:04:01This is a really nice house, James.
01:04:04I sent a message to your father but I didn't expect you to be here so soon.
01:04:08I just can't wait to meet my future husband.
01:04:11And everyone's expecting Chris to come back.
01:04:14And we're having a good time.
01:04:16Ava! Ava!
01:04:18Come and meet your future sister-in-law.
01:04:20That's news to me.
01:04:22Chris, you don't want to disappoint your dad or my family, do you?
01:04:28Sophia, I acknowledge what you and your family have done.
01:04:31I just declared the air.
01:04:33Ava here, is my girlfriend.
01:04:41Excuse us.
01:04:49You'll come around, Sophia.
01:04:51You seen your room yet?
01:04:53Oh, did you want to show me?
01:05:00So you have a future woman.
01:05:02Ava.
01:05:04When am I going to be invited to the wedding?
01:05:06There is no wedding.
01:05:08Sophia's dad is a resourceful and wealthy man.
01:05:11He's pushed marriage on us many times.
01:05:13But I would never, ever.
01:05:15Chris.
01:05:17Ava, I'm crazy about you.
01:05:19You shouldn't have hit Lewis.
01:05:21My mum drugged me.
01:05:23Lewis was just there to protect me.
01:05:25Have you ever wondered why he approached you?
01:05:27Why he approached your mum?
01:05:29He's just a good friend.
01:05:31A good friend.
01:05:33A good friend who clearly wants to be more than a friend.
01:05:36And yet there's someone in your house claiming you two are getting married.
01:05:51Doesn't seem like a strong relationship.
01:05:54Does it?
01:06:02You're not supposed to be in here.
01:06:07Michael's schedule for the next three months?
01:06:10I told you, I come in good faith.
01:06:22What do you think, Chris?
01:06:24I think that I have a girlfriend.
01:06:27Siblings?
01:06:29Ava and I are together.
01:06:31And nothing is going to change that.
01:06:33You never know.
01:06:45What have you got for me?
01:06:47It only works for a few minutes.
01:06:49That's all I need.
01:06:51What?
01:06:59Whoops.
01:07:02Chris, I was still going to the...
01:07:05Ava, did you need something?
01:07:07What are you doing?
01:07:09Chris is such a strong man.
01:07:13But you already knew that, didn't you?
01:07:15No, I don't believe it.
01:07:17Well, 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!
01:07:47Chris, wake up!
01:07:49What did you do to him?
01:07:51Me? You're the one who got in the way, Ava.
01:07:55I'm a lady, okay? You'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.
01:08:18What did you do to Ava Sophia?
01:08:21Nothing. It'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.
01:08:27No, I...
01:08:28Enough!
01:08:29You need to leave, Sophia.
01:08:31And 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.
01:08:53I know you have a fair whole family, Sophia.
01:08:55But you're not the only one who can help Chris.
01:08:58And you think you can?
01:09:00I may not be my child, but I have this friend.
01:09:03Her name is Zoe Smith.
01:09:05Her brother is very happy to ally with Chris.
01:09:07How do you know Zoe Smith?
01:09:09Is Chris letting you help with the business?
01:09:11Of course he is. There's no secrets between us.
01:09:14Is that so?
01:09:15Love isn't a competition, Sophia.
01:09:18We spend time with the people we care about.
01:09:21Not with the people who will bring us the most profit.
01:09:24I hope you find the right man one day.
01:09:27Goodbye, Sophia.
01:09:30Sophia, I heard you're going to the dinner tomorrow night.
01:09:33Hosted by Bullet Blackwood.
01:09:35I'm taking you, Ava.
01:09:37So don't cause any trouble.
01:09:39Are you planning to go public with her tomorrow?
01:09:41Chris, you can't, okay? It's far too soon.
01:09:45I'm ready to face you, Sophia.
01:09:47Michael as well. See you tomorrow.
01:09:49See you tomorrow.
01:10:14Ava, let's go!
01:10:20Ava, come here!
01:10:23Oh my god, look at the size of this place.
01:10:26I mean, how cool.
01:10:29Are you okay?
01:10:31Yeah, I'm okay. Just not used to a place this fancy.
01:10:35You'll do great.
01:10:38Zoe, hi.
01:10:40Do you mind if I borrow Ava for a minute?
01:10:42Yeah, she's all yours.
01:10:46You hear that?
01:10:48You're all mine.
01:10:49Shut up.
01:10:51Well, where are we going?
01:10:54Everyone.
01:10:57I have an announcement.
01:11:01First of all, I'd like to thank the Lord of Blackwood.
01:11:05Thank you, Ben.
01:11:09My name is Chris Hastings, and I am back.
01:11:13I'm not here to take part.
01:11:15I'm here to take over.
01:11:17Almost ten years ago now, I disappeared.
01:11:20For safety purposes.
01:11:22As of a couple of days ago,
01:11:24my team has submitted crucial evidence.
01:11:27The Hastings car crash investigation
01:11:30is now open.
01:11:32And now,
01:11:34I'm ready to kick Michael Sullivan's ass.
01:11:37I also have a special announcement.
01:11:41Along this bumpy journey,
01:11:43I found someone special.
01:11:44Someone special.
01:11:46Someone who sets my heart on fire.
01:11:49Someone I love.
01:11:57Ava Benner.
01:12:02Will you marry me?
01:12:14Will you marry me?
01:12:20This isn't a part of the plan.
01:12:21You didn't say anything about proposing.
01:12:23Yes, I know.
01:12:24I'm away.
01:12:25But you said yes.
01:12:27Yes, Chris.
01:12:32She said yes.
01:12:45I'm sorry.
01:12:50I'm sorry.
01:12:51Thank you for understanding.
01:12:55Who are you?
01:13:03An epic party always ends in a tragedy.
01:13:06Let's see if Chris will still marry you like this, Ava.
01:13:14Why is Jack...
01:13:17Seems like he knew the perpetrator, Sophia.
01:13:19Wasn't he working for you, Chris?
01:13:22Are you...
01:13:23You can't be suspecting me.
01:13:25Okay, she's the suspicious one.
01:13:27She is killing people around you.
01:13:31She's a killer!
01:13:32He's not dead, Sophia.
01:13:34Yes, he is.
01:13:37There's surveillance cameras everywhere.
01:13:39He attacked me.
01:13:40I was just self-defencing.
01:13:41Self-defencing is not a word.
01:13:43Yes, it is.
01:13:44Self-defencing is a word.
01:13:46You brought in a spy.
01:13:47No, self-defencing is not a word and he's not a spy, okay?
01:13:49He's working for me.
01:13:52So you admitted it was your plan.
01:13:55Tell you what.
01:13:56It was our plan to draw him out.
01:14:04Chris, please.
01:14:05What about us?
01:14:06Sophia, there never wasn't us.
01:14:08Do you seriously want me to reconsider business with your father?
01:14:10No.
01:14:12Then you have your answer.
01:14:22Ava, are you okay?
01:14:25I can't help it.
01:14:26I think I'm utterly useless.
01:14:30Ava, I don't need a girlfriend to help me.
01:14:35I'm sorry.
01:14:37I 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.
01:14:53What 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.
01:15:01Have you ever really cared for the man who raised you?
01:15:05Huh?
01:15:06Do you even respect him?
01:15:08And Ava.
01:15:13Oh my god.
01:15:14Have 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.
01:15:32Father!
01:15:33James!
01:15:35James!
01:15:53He got away.
01:15:57What?
01:16:00James, honey.
01:16:01James.
01:16:03James is gone.
01:16:06Uncle Dad.
01:16:18I'm so sorry, Chris.
01:16:21Please say something.
01:16:24It's not safe here anymore, Ava.
01:16:26Zoe will pick you and your mum up to a safe house.
01:16:30It's not safe here anymore.
01:16:33What about you?
01:16:35Can't I just stay with you?
01:16:37Because what happened to Uncle James could happen to any one of us.
01:16:41And I can't allow that to happen.
01:16:44I'll see you soon, babe.
01:16:56Ava, I'll be with you in ten minutes, okay?
01:16:59Do you need anything?
01:17:00I can pick up some stuff along the way.
01:17:02I'm okay, thank you though.
01:17:04I'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?
01:17:32It's so good to finally meet you.
01:17:35I'm Michael Sullivan.
01:17:39I'm Michael Sullivan.
01:17:54Michael, you pathetic evil son of a bitch, let 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?
01:18:13You see, babe, you think far too low of me.
01:18:18I don't really care to get Christopher himself.
01:18:22I just want to make his life a living misery for as long as he lives.
01:18:28And I was doing well.
01:18:30So well.
01:18:33That frightened little kitten was living in fear.
01:18:37Until you showed up.
01:18:40Well, 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.
01:18:53Ah, you bitch!
01:19:01Chris is dying!
01:19:05A few years ago, he brought me here.
01:19:09I found witnesses. I killed them all.
01:19:13We were father and...
01:19:16Zoe!
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.
01:19:30Okay.
01:19:40Mom, what are you doing here?
01:19:43Hey, darling.
01:19:46Mom, what have you done? I've always been a strong woman.
01:19:50You should know that, Ava.
01:19:53Michael'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?
01:20:07Mom, no!
01:20:10How could you do that? She's carrying your child.
01:20:14Which I never asked for.
01:20:17She served her purpose.
01:20:19Now it's your turn.
01:20:22Stop!
01:20:24Oh!
01:20:27That too, Louis?
01:20:48Louis, what are you doing here?
01:20:50Zoe, I'm gonna...
01:20:51Whoa!
01:20:52Ava, I know that there's a lot going on right now, but we need to get out of here now.
01:20:56Ava, are you okay?
01:20:58We need to get you out of here. Come on.
01:20:59Whoa! You haven't told us why you're here.
01:21:02There's no time for that. Come on.
01:21:04No, you're not taking Ava anywhere until you tell us exactly why you're here.
01:21:11Michael Sullivan is my dad.
01:21:14What?
01:21:16Look, I'm ashamed of what he's done. Really, I am.
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, Louis?
01:21:27Look!
01:21:31Oh, for God's sake!
01:21:38Are you okay?
01:21:42Thanks for everything, Louis.
01:21:43No, thank you for telling me what my dad did.
01:21:46You told Louis to come here?
01:21:47I did.
01:21:50I'm sorry for joking.
01:21:52Friends?
01:21:54Friends.
01:22:14Father!
01:22:16James!
01:22:24Mum, no!
01:22:28Ava, are you okay?
01:22:31You were having a nightmare.
01:22:33He killed her, Chris.
01:22:35She was pregnant with his child and he killed her.
01:22:38I know.
01:22:40But he's gone now.
01:22:41We don't have to worry anymore.
01:22:44She was the only family I had.
01:22:47You've got me now, Ava.
01:22:54You've got me now, Ava.
01:22:57Did you get my phone?
01:22:59I recorded Michael talking about the car crash.
01:23:03I hope it'll help.
01:23:05There's not much else I can do.
01:23:08Ava, why would you say that?
01:23:10Sophia was right.
01:23:13She'll be a much better wife than I.
01:23:16Please don't say that.
01:23:19You were the love of my life.
01:23:22You were the person I want to see every morning.
01:23:25Every night.
01:23:27The thought of losing you kills me.
01:23:30Ava, I was scared when I found out you were gone tonight.
01:23:34The thought of what he could have done to you.
01:23:37It was like being stabbed in the chest with a knife.
01:23:40Through my heart.
01:23:42Through my soul.
01:23:46I'm coming to a grand wedding.
01:23:48Marry me.
01:23:50Please.
01:23:52Yes.
01:23:54Marry me.
01:24:05Oh my god, Ava, you look gorgeous!
01:24:10Look at you!
01:24:16Sophia?
01:24:18What are you doing here? You're not invited.
01:24:20It's okay, Zoe.
01:24:21What do you want, Sophia?
01:24:23I know that Michael Sullivan's been taken care of.
01:24:26I just wanted to say the best of what we won.
01:24:29But Chris is still working with us.
01:24:44I have one more guest, Chris.
01:24:50Dad?
01:24:54Dad?
01:24:55Ava.
01:24:59It's good to see you.
01:25:03Ava's father.
01:25:05The entire time.
01:25:06Dad, how?
01:25:08It must be such a shock.
01:25:11I was a key witness to the car accident that killed Chris's parents.
01:25:15My testimony and your recording was what brought Michael down in the end.
01:25:19I 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 so that they'd think that you were one of them.
01:25:36I'm so sorry.
01:25:38I didn't contact you and Emma after the divorce because Sullivan was after me.
01:25:44As much as it would hurt.
01:25:45I knew that the only way to protect you from them was to leave.
01:25:51I can't.
01:25:53I'm so sorry it took so long.
01:25:56I never wanted to be that way.
01:26:00I love you.
01:26:15Now you'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 look.
01:27:00I do too.
01:27:02Fine, kiss the bride.
