00:00:00Sister?
00:00:01My mother only had one daughter.
00:00:03She's not my sister.
00:00:04She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:00:09What do you want?
00:00:10I want 10 billion.
00:00:12On our daughter's birthday,
00:00:14you waltz in with your mistress
00:00:16and your bastard child!
00:00:19Everyone thinks I'm greedy,
00:00:21but nobody asks about all the shit I've been dragged through.
00:00:2410 billion dollars?
00:00:2510 billion dollars?
00:00:27Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:00:30God, no!
00:00:32I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:00:36I want a guy who'd tattoo my name into his chest.
00:00:41He is willing to endure pain for others.
00:00:44My wounds have never been worth mentioning.
00:00:48And the pearl.
00:00:50She wants the pearl from Atlantic Reefs.
00:00:54He instinctively pushed me aside to sleep.
00:01:00He personally locked me in the ice cell
00:01:03and nearly left me to die there.
00:01:05Get into a hospital.
00:01:08But he will never know
00:01:09that I was the one to save him from that fire.
00:01:16I left without saying goodbye.
00:01:19Help!
00:01:22I object!
00:01:25I thought he would never understand
00:01:27who has his own disease.
00:01:29Please don't marry Elias.
00:01:30You're the one I've been looking for all along.
00:01:43I've made my decision.
00:01:44I'll marry the comatose colonel
00:01:46from the Archibald family.
00:01:49That's wonderful.
00:01:49You've finally come to your senses.
00:01:52The Archibalds have been pushing hard.
00:01:54They expect you to move
00:01:55into their Florida estate within two weeks.
00:01:58Tell me, what kind of wedding dress do you want?
00:01:59I can have designers from Paris or Milan flown in.
00:02:02Since I'm taking your precious little love child's place,
00:02:05the least you can do is make it worth my while.
00:02:09Watch your mouth.
00:02:10She's your sister.
00:02:11Sister?
00:02:12My mother only had one daughter.
00:02:14She's not my sister.
00:02:15She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:02:27What do you want?
00:02:29I want ten billion.
00:02:31Ten bill?
00:02:32Are you insane?
00:02:32That would drain the entire family trust.
00:02:34One more thing.
00:02:35Once I'm married,
00:02:37have Ryan reassigned to babysit your precious love child.
00:02:41Ryan?
00:02:41The man you were ready to marry?
00:02:43I thought you'd take him with you to the Archibald estate.
00:02:45Just say yes or no, Dad.
00:02:49Two years ago,
00:02:51Liam Archibald was a rising star.
00:02:54The youngest colonel this country ever had.
00:02:56I pulled every string to get Madison engaged to him.
00:02:59Thought I'd set her up for life.
00:03:01Then he gets himself blown up
00:03:02and ends up in a coma.
00:03:04Lucky for me,
00:03:05I've got another daughter.
00:03:06If you marry him instead,
00:03:08Madison gets another chance.
00:03:11Fine.
00:03:12You go through with the marriage
00:03:14and I'll make both things happen.
00:03:18Wait.
00:03:20I understand why you'd want the money.
00:03:22But you love Ryan.
00:03:24How can you just hand him over to Madison?
00:03:39I love you so much, Maddie.
00:03:43You asked why I could hand him over?
00:03:46Because he's just like you, Daddy.
00:03:48He only ever loved Madison.
00:03:53Ryan, I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
00:03:58Ryan, I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard.
00:04:00Shirt's off.
00:04:05Muscles don't mean much.
00:04:06I need someone who can actually fight.
00:04:19That's it.
00:04:20He's the one.
00:04:30Ryan, my heel broke.
00:04:33Can you carry me back to my room?
00:04:35I'll grab you a new pair.
00:04:43Ryan, it's storming out there.
00:04:44I'm scared.
00:04:45Can I stay with you tonight?
00:04:49You'll be fine.
00:04:50Ask one of the maids to stay with you.
00:05:02Ryan, help me!
00:05:03I fell for you before I even knew what love was.
00:05:05Maybe because after Mom died,
00:05:07you were the only constant left.
00:05:09But three years goes by,
00:05:10no matter how hard I tried.
00:05:12You never saw me the way I saw you.
00:05:15I thought you just didn't feel things.
00:05:17Until that day before graduation.
00:05:19Dude, your family owns like half of New York.
00:05:21You can have any girl you want.
00:05:23Just go for Madison.
00:05:24Why waste time playing bodyguard for the sister?
00:05:26You don't get it.
00:05:27Maddie's different.
00:05:28She has been the family secret her whole life.
00:05:30If I push too fast,
00:05:31she'll shut down.
00:05:33Okay, but seriously though,
00:05:35nothing for the sister?
00:05:36I mean, the way she throws herself at you, bro.
00:05:39Woof!
00:05:40Please.
00:05:41Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
00:05:44Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
00:05:46We're graduating tomorrow.
00:05:48You really gonna keep playing her guard dog?
00:05:50For Maddie?
00:05:51I'd do anything.
00:05:55That was the moment I decided
00:05:57I'd never love you again.
00:06:04Miss Iris, what do you need?
00:06:06You never change.
00:06:07You worship everything about her.
00:06:08Even when it's just a damn picture.
00:06:10But the second you see me,
00:06:12you turn to stone.
00:06:14If it's not important, please leave.
00:06:16I'd like to get some sleep.
00:06:18There's this auction tomorrow night.
00:06:19I need you to come with me.
00:06:21I can't.
00:06:24I'm taking the night off.
00:06:25Madison will be there.
00:06:28Then I'll be there.
00:06:29Of course.
00:06:31The second her name comes up,
00:06:33every rule just goes out the window.
00:06:36Don't worry, Ryan.
00:06:37I'll make sure you end up
00:06:38where you've always wanted to be.
00:06:39With Madison.
00:06:40Up front.
00:06:41What?
00:06:42The passenger seat.
00:06:43That's where the bodyguard belongs.
00:06:45That's strange.
00:06:47Usually she'd lose her mind
00:06:48if I didn't sit next to her.
00:06:55Sit next to me.
00:06:56Say no,
00:06:57and you are fired.
00:06:59From now on,
00:07:00you always sit next to me.
00:07:16Oh, gosh.
00:07:18Iris,
00:07:18what are the odds?
00:07:19I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:22Oh, gosh.
00:07:24Iris,
00:07:24what are the odds?
00:07:25I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:26Don't touch me.
00:07:28I was just trying to be nice.
00:07:32Oh, Ryan.
00:07:33Hey.
00:07:34That was so sweet of you,
00:07:36going all the way to Brooklyn
00:07:37in the storm
00:07:38just to get me those croissants.
00:07:40Gosh,
00:07:41I've been so sick.
00:07:42I didn't even get to thank you properly.
00:07:44Oh, it's nothing.
00:07:45It was on the way.
00:07:47At least let me buy you dinner.
00:07:49I insist.
00:07:51Whatever you want.
00:07:52We should invite Iris, too.
00:07:56You don't look so good, Iris.
00:07:59Gosh,
00:07:59I would have thought
00:08:00you're the sick one.
00:08:01I'd worry about myself
00:08:03if I was the bastard kid.
00:08:05We are really not that close, sweetheart.
00:08:10Ladies and gentlemen,
00:08:12the auction is about to begin.
00:08:15Ryan,
00:08:16what's going on with her?
00:08:18Don't worry about it.
00:08:19Come on.
00:08:20Once I marry into the Archibalds,
00:08:23I'm on my own.
00:08:24Definitely can't count on Dad.
00:08:26I need to buy something
00:08:28that guarantees me a seat at the table.
00:08:30An 18th century sapphire crown
00:08:33by French master
00:08:34Lucienne Marchand.
00:08:42$500,000.
00:08:44$1,000,000.
00:08:46$1,000,000.
00:08:46$1,500,000.
00:08:47Oh, Iris,
00:08:48that crown is so my vibe.
00:08:50Maybe let me have this one?
00:08:51Your allowance doesn't exactly
00:08:52keep up with mine.
00:08:54Allowance?
00:08:55Richard couldn't be bothered
00:08:56to give me lunch money.
00:08:58If it weren't for Mom's trust fund,
00:09:00I'd be starving.
00:09:03$2,000,000.
00:09:05$2,500,000.
00:09:07$3,500,000.
00:09:10$3,500,000.
00:09:29$3,500,000.
00:09:31Call my dad.
00:09:32Tell him I need more funds now.
00:09:34You know I always get what I want.
00:09:36Daddy makes sure of it.
00:09:39Not this time.
00:09:40I've got every cent of Carter money
00:09:43locked under my account.
00:09:44Daddy's dry bitch.
00:09:49What?
00:09:50$5,000,000 once.
00:09:52$5,000,000 twice.
00:09:55$10,000,000.
00:09:56To be clear,
00:09:57what I'm saying is
00:09:57whatever she bids,
00:09:59I'll add $10,000,000 on top.
00:10:00Are you sure you wish to continue, miss?
00:10:07Allow me to introduce myself.
00:10:09I'm here on behalf of Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:12He's asked me to inform you
00:10:14that anything Miss Madison Carter
00:10:16has her sights set on tonight,
00:10:18he'll buy it.
00:10:19No limits.
00:10:20Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:21The Vanderbilt heir.
00:10:22I heard he's never married.
00:10:24Rumor is he's been crazy in love for years.
00:10:27Uh, you think Madison's the one?
00:10:29Could you tell me
00:10:30where Mr. Vanderbilt is?
00:10:32I'd love to thank him in person.
00:10:35Mr. Vanderbilt isn't available
00:10:36to appear tonight.
00:10:37When the time's right,
00:10:38he'll reach out himself.
00:10:42Well, dear sister,
00:10:44still planning to keep bidding?
00:10:45Oh, silly me.
00:10:47I forgot Mr. Vanderbilt
00:10:49is covering everything I want.
00:10:51You should probably stop now
00:10:53before you bid yourself into bankruptcy.
00:10:55Everyone knows that Vanderbilts
00:10:57are the richest family in the country.
00:11:02Next up,
00:11:03a rare canary yellow diamond.
00:11:08Add 10 million.
00:11:11Add 10 million.
00:11:11An 18th century oil painting.
00:11:13Add 10 million.
00:11:14A hand-carved mammoth fossil sculpture.
00:11:17Add 10 million.
00:11:18The eternal flame necklace.
00:11:21Add 200 million.
00:11:25Add...
00:11:26That's enough.
00:11:27Tell me,
00:11:28does Mr. Vanderbilt plan on leaving anything
00:11:30for anyone else?
00:11:31Apologies, ma'am.
00:11:33Mr. Vanderbilt only asked
00:11:34that Miss Madison Carter
00:11:35enjoy herself tonight.
00:11:37Everything else
00:11:37isn't his concern.
00:11:43Ryan,
00:11:44you're fucking unbelievable.
00:11:48Cheers to you.
00:11:51Take me to Shadow Arena.
00:11:53Yes, ma'am.
00:11:55Iris!
00:11:56Going to Shadow Arena?
00:11:57Perfect!
00:11:59I'm bored out of my mind.
00:12:00Take me with you!
00:12:02No?
00:12:03Drive.
00:12:07Why do you think
00:12:08Mr. Vanderbilt's being so nice to me?
00:12:10We've never even met.
00:12:11Simple.
00:12:12He likes you.
00:12:13Don't tease me.
00:12:16I'm not.
00:12:17Men don't waste money
00:12:18on things they don't want.
00:12:19And you?
00:12:20You're hard not to want.
00:12:22Then,
00:12:22do you want me?
00:12:24If you two want to
00:12:25eye-puck each other,
00:12:26take it outside.
00:12:27This is my car.
00:12:30Sorry.
00:12:31I'll be quiet.
00:12:44Place your bets.
00:12:46Last round.
00:12:48Who's taking it home tonight?
00:12:51Beat him, Sam!
00:12:54Oh, oh!
00:13:08Another.
00:13:12Easy.
00:13:13I have had too much.
00:13:19Hey, gorgeous.
00:13:20How about a drink?
00:13:24Don't be shy, sweetheart.
00:13:25We just want to have a little fun.
00:13:27Ryan!
00:13:39Get the fuck out of here!
00:13:45I didn't realize you'd switch jobs
00:13:47from my bodyguard to Madison's.
00:13:49Sorry.
00:13:50I didn't see.
00:13:51Didn't see.
00:13:52Or didn't want to.
00:13:54You've had too much to drink,
00:13:55Miss Iris.
00:13:57What are you two whispering about?
00:13:59Don't leave me out.
00:14:10Mattie!
00:14:11Look out!
00:14:18Mattie!
00:14:19Ryan.
00:14:21You were supposed to protect Iris.
00:14:23Not me.
00:14:24Hey, stop.
00:14:26This was my call.
00:14:27If it happened a hundred times over,
00:14:30you'd still come first.
00:14:32Why?
00:14:33Because I'm in love with you.
00:14:46Chris, thank God.
00:14:48Are you okay?
00:14:49Does it still hurt?
00:14:51It's all my fault.
00:14:53Get your hands off me.
00:14:54I'll be okay as soon as you get out of my sight.
00:14:57I was just trying to help.
00:14:59How can you say that?
00:15:01It was my fault.
00:15:03I didn't react fast enough.
00:15:04Don't blame Madison.
00:15:06I promise it won't happen again.
00:15:08Damn right it won't happen again.
00:15:11I won't give you a chance to hurt me again.
00:15:22Miss Iris.
00:15:24What do you need?
00:15:25You're my bodyguard.
00:15:27You failed.
00:15:28I'm going to punish you.
00:15:30Any objections?
00:15:31The Vanderbilt heir,
00:15:33born into the richest family in the country,
00:15:35with the world at his feet
00:15:36and a throne carved in gold.
00:15:39I bet no one has ever dared to lay a finger on you.
00:15:43Today, he learns what it feels like to bleed for a change.
00:15:47Go on, Ryan.
00:15:48Walk away.
00:15:49But you won't, will you?
00:15:50You'll stay, just to stay close to her.
00:15:53No objections.
00:15:57Take your clothes off.
00:16:03Go.
00:16:07Iris, stop it!
00:16:09If someone has to pay for what happened, punish me!
00:16:15Leave Ryan out of it.
00:16:16Move.
00:16:17Now.
00:16:18You got hurt because of me, Iris.
00:16:20If you need someone to blame, it's me!
00:16:24Get Madison out of my way.
00:16:29Do it.
00:16:31No!
00:16:33Ah!
00:16:36So, so cold.
00:16:39Fuck.
00:16:40Get out!
00:16:51Once I moved to Florida, no more snow.
00:16:54Not like this hellhole ever gave me anything to miss.
00:16:57Run!
00:16:58Run!
00:17:00Run!
00:17:17You should have known better than to piss off the wrong people.
00:17:32Who, who would do this to me?
00:17:36She's been in there two hours, sir.
00:17:38At this temp, she won't last much longer.
00:17:43Get her to a hospital.
00:17:45Ryan.
00:17:48Who was Ryan?
00:17:52He almost freezes me to death in here.
00:17:55Just because I spilled a little water on his precious Madison?
00:18:03You see the guy in the room across the hall?
00:18:06Movie star looks.
00:18:07Won't leave his girlfriend's side.
00:18:09Yeah, over a cold, too.
00:18:11Some guys are just built different.
00:18:13Meanwhile, this poor girl just got out of the ICU.
00:18:16Not a single visitor.
00:18:25I swore I was done with him.
00:18:27So why does it still hurt like hell?
00:18:31No more crying, Iris.
00:18:33No one's coming for you.
00:18:35You have to save yourself.
00:18:43Iris.
00:18:47Maddie's been crying to me again.
00:18:49Says you've been ignoring her.
00:18:51Tomorrow's her birthday party.
00:18:53I want you to get her something nice.
00:18:55Make peace.
00:18:59I've got plans tomorrow.
00:19:01Drop the attitude.
00:19:02This might be the last birthday you spend with her once you marry into...
00:19:06What do you think, Ryan?
00:19:07Should I go?
00:19:08You should.
00:19:10Okay, then.
00:19:11Maddie's birthday it is.
00:19:24To mom and dad, thank you for always being my biggest supporters.
00:19:29And to everyone here, thanks for celebrating another trip around the sun with me.
00:19:34Cheers!
00:19:40My beautiful girl.
00:19:42A year older, somehow you just keep getting brighter.
00:19:45You'll always be our pride and joy, sweetheart.
00:19:55My baby girl is turning six.
00:19:58She deserves the biggest party in the city.
00:20:00Nothing less.
00:20:01You're the best, daddy.
00:20:03And what about mommy?
00:20:05Mommy's the best, too.
00:20:10When you asked me to marry you, you swore you'd never betray me.
00:20:14And now, on our daughter's birthday, you waltz in with your mistress and your bastard child?
00:20:23Rose, I know you hate me.
00:20:25But please, don't take it out on my daughter.
00:20:28She's just a child.
00:20:30I'm filing for a divorce.
00:20:31I'm marrying Victoria.
00:20:37Mommy!
00:20:39Mommy!
00:20:39Mommy!
00:20:45Iris, Ryan, you made it!
00:20:47Come on, we're about to cut the cake!
00:20:55Mads, this party's like a billionaire safari and everyone is hunting you.
00:21:00But aren't you, like, engaged to that Archibald heir down in Florida?
00:21:04That's totally over.
00:21:05I don't do long-term comas.
00:21:07Good call.
00:21:08Well, the Archibalds might run Washington and What Street, but that heir's basically a houseplant.
00:21:14Marrying him is like skipping straight into widowhood.
00:21:16Exactly.
00:21:17Better pick someone from tonight's crowd.
00:21:19There are billionaires here who can actually blink.
00:21:22So, Matt Ace, what's your type?
00:21:24My type?
00:21:25Mm-hmm.
00:21:26First, he has to be obsessed with me.
00:21:29I want a guy who'd carve my name into his chest just to prove it.
00:21:32And he has to swim the darkest parts of the Atlantic to find me the perfect pearl.
00:21:37And Vanderbilt is here with his birthday gift for Miss Madison Carter!
00:21:43Happy birthday, Miss Madison.
00:21:52A pink diamond necklace.
00:21:54Emerald drop earrings.
00:21:59And an original Andy Warhol.
00:22:03Oh, my God, that's authentic pink diamond worth tens of millions.
00:22:08And those emeralds?
00:22:09Definitely from one of the old Italian jewelry houses.
00:22:12Totally museum level.
00:22:14Warhol?
00:22:15That's a real Warhol.
00:22:17Haven't seen one hit auction in years.
00:22:19All this?
00:22:20From Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:22:22That's not gifting.
00:22:23That's a public love confession.
00:22:26Please thank Mr. Vanderbilt for me.
00:22:28Mr. Vanderbilt said you never need to thank him.
00:22:31Ever.
00:22:36Oh, my God.
00:22:38Such extravagant gifts.
00:22:40It's obvious he adores her.
00:22:42Exactly.
00:22:43Once the party's over, I'll take Madison to thank him in person.
00:22:47No need, Mr. Carter.
00:22:48We're practically family already.
00:22:52Family?
00:22:53Did he just say family?
00:22:54That sounds like an engagement to me.
00:22:56Madison is living every girl's dream.
00:22:58Everyone loves her.
00:23:00Poor Iris.
00:23:01She might as well be invisible.
00:23:03She might as well be invisible.
00:23:16Out here all by yourself?
00:23:18You look so lonely.
00:23:20What's wrong?
00:23:21Daddy's not around to watch your halo glow?
00:23:24Daddy already told me.
00:23:26You're actually marrying that human Defantipadal?
00:23:29How poetic.
00:23:30Your mom lost to mine, and now you're losing to me.
00:23:33The loser genes runs in the family.
00:23:35Say that again?
00:23:36I said, your worthless mother deserved to die in childbirth.
00:23:41To die in childbirth.
00:23:46Iris!
00:23:47No!
00:23:48Don't!
00:24:13You okay?
00:24:15Don't blame Iris.
00:24:16It's my fault.
00:24:19I shouldn't have upset her.
00:24:26Sweetheart, are you hurt?
00:24:28I'm fine.
00:24:30If hurting me makes Iris feel better, I don't mind it.
00:24:37Iris!
00:24:38Is this how I raised you?
00:24:40She's your sister, not your punching bag!
00:24:43God, what a heartless bitch.
00:24:44It's Madison's birthday, for Christ's sake.
00:24:48Jealousy really looks ugly on her.
00:24:51Funny thing is, I didn't push her.
00:24:58But since everyone already decided I did, I'll prove you right.
00:25:11I'll prove you right.
00:25:26I can't believe I raised something this vile.
00:25:35Iris!
00:25:37What?
00:25:39Gonna avenge your little princess again?
00:25:42What the hell does that mean?
00:25:44Does she know?
00:25:45No way.
00:25:46I covered my tracks.
00:25:48You already have it all, Iris.
00:25:49Iris, why keep picking on Madison?
00:25:53Have it all?
00:25:55I have nothing.
00:25:57The day she showed up, my mom went into obstructed labor and died.
00:26:01Then she took everything from me.
00:26:04My room, my jewelry, my father, my life.
00:26:06She used to light fires just to watch me scream, knowing how much I'm afraid of it.
00:26:10That's impossible.
00:26:12Madison's the one who's afraid of fire.
00:26:17Also, I heard Maddie's the one who's having a hard time in this house.
00:26:24Believe whatever you want.
00:26:27Miss Iris, I would like to take a few days off.
00:26:33Do whatever you want.
00:26:42I want a guy who'd tattoo my name into his chest.
00:26:53And the pearl.
00:26:55She wants the pearl from Atlantic reefs.
00:27:03Bleeding, half delirious, and already running off to make her dreams come true.
00:27:08You'd really die for her.
00:27:13Mom, I brought your favorite roses.
00:27:23And some good news.
00:27:25I'm getting married.
00:27:27To Colonel Archibald.
00:27:29Although he's comodos.
00:27:31At least he'll never cheat.
00:27:33And that bodyguard I told you about?
00:27:35I'm done with him.
00:27:37I'll leave for Florida tomorrow and hand him over to Madison.
00:27:40This time, I'm not looking back.
00:27:43You can rest easy, Mom.
00:27:45I learned your lesson.
00:27:47Love isn't worth dying for.
00:27:50From now on, I'm done breaking for anyone.
00:27:53I live for me.
00:28:13Miss Iris, I got into a car accident on the way here.
00:28:18I'll need a few more days off.
00:28:20Car accident?
00:28:21No.
00:28:23You actually dove into the reefs for Madison's stupid pearl.
00:28:28And nearly killed yourself.
00:28:32Do whatever you want.
00:28:36For understanding.
00:28:40Ryan.
00:28:42After today,
00:28:44we'll never see each other again.
00:29:00Evening, sir.
00:29:03Which suite is Miss Iris in?
00:29:08Second floor.
00:29:10The VIP room is just down the hall.
00:29:12Thanks.
00:29:17To bad decisions
00:29:19and men who can't afford us.
00:29:29So, that white pearl,
00:29:31is it really that rare?
00:29:35It's from one of the deadliest reefs in the Atlantic.
00:29:38Even pro divers wouldn't go near it.
00:29:41And Ryan really risked his life to get it?
00:29:44That's insane.
00:29:46Didn't he tattoo your name on his chest right after the party?
00:29:49If he brings you that pearl too,
00:29:51he's base-base-base-base-y your fiancé.
00:29:55Fiancé?
00:29:56Please, he's a friggin' bodyguard.
00:29:57A minion.
00:29:59Anyway, Vanderbilt's in my orbit now.
00:30:01He's the one who matters.
00:30:02Heir to the richest family in America.
00:30:04Ryan's just nice to look at.
00:30:05I might keep him around in case I'm bored.
00:30:07What if he finds out?
00:30:09What's a little minion gonna do?
00:30:11He's worships me.
00:30:12A few tears and he'll just crawl right back.
00:30:24Jesus!
00:30:25Ever heard of knocking, you fucking idiot?
00:30:28Do you know who I am?
00:30:29I'm so sorry, Miss Madison.
00:30:31Truly, it's just...
00:30:33There's a gentleman downstairs asking for you.
00:30:35He said it was urgent.
00:30:42Sir, my mistake.
00:30:43It's this one.
00:30:46Seriously?
00:30:48These goddamn lowlifes have no manners.
00:30:57Ryan?
00:30:58Oh my gosh, when'd you get here?
00:30:59I just got scared back there.
00:31:01It's fine.
00:31:03You can go.
00:31:04Yes, sir.
00:31:05Of course.
00:31:07Am I interrupting?
00:31:09Of course not.
00:31:17This is for you.
00:31:25Oh my God.
00:31:26The white pearl?
00:31:31Ryan, I can't believe it.
00:31:34You're so good to me.
00:31:41Miss Iris, what's all this?
00:31:53Packing up?
00:31:54I'm moving out.
00:31:56Okay.
00:31:57Let me help.
00:32:01I've got something else for you to do.
00:32:07What's that?
00:32:09Go down to that fancy dessert sub-town.
00:32:12Get a strawberry cheesecake.
00:32:14And deliver it to Madison.
00:32:19Cheesecake?
00:32:20Why?
00:32:22You'll find out when you get there.
00:32:24All right.
00:32:26Oh, remember to send me your new address.
00:32:29I'll be there later.
00:32:32As your bodyguard, it's my duty to always keep you safe.
00:32:47Goodbye, Ryan.
00:32:51Did you say something?
00:32:53Nothing.
00:32:54Go on.
00:33:29I'll be there later.
00:33:34What the hell?
00:33:35Is the injury acting up?
00:33:38Nah.
00:33:39I'm just too damn excited to see Madison.
00:33:45You gave Iris 10 billion dollars?
00:33:50Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:33:53I didn't have a choice.
00:33:59The Archibalds are too powerful.
00:34:01I can't just call off the engagement.
00:34:03If I don't pay Iris, you'd be the one marrying into that family.
00:34:07You want that?
00:34:09God, no!
00:34:12I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:34:15Especially not when Mr. Vanderbilt is chasing after me.
00:34:19He's everything I want in a husband.
00:34:27Ryan!
00:34:29Is this for me?
00:34:31Burnt cheesecake from Lavina!
00:34:34This is my favorite!
00:34:36You remembered!
00:34:43Hmm, it's perfect.
00:34:45You always know how to make me smile, Ryan.
00:34:48I should be happy seeing her like this.
00:34:50But why does it hurt worse than before?
00:34:54Like something inside me is breaking.
00:35:01I'm glad you like it.
00:35:03I should go.
00:35:05Miss Iris is waiting.
00:35:06Iris is gone.
00:35:09She gave you to me.
00:35:11She gave?
00:35:13What's that supposed to mean?
00:35:15She's marrying the Archibald heir.
00:35:17Yes, the vegetable one.
00:35:19She already left for Florida this morning.
00:35:22You don't have to protect her anymore.
00:35:24From now on, you're my bodyguard.
00:35:27What?
00:35:28She's marrying Liam Archibald?
00:35:34Ryan, you're hurting me.
00:35:39What's with you?
00:35:41Why do you care Iris is getting married?
00:35:46The Archibalds rival the Vander Moda biz in Fortune.
00:35:51Liam is a decorated officer.
00:35:55Iris is marrying into power.
00:35:57Not tragedy.
00:35:59What's there to worry about?
00:36:08Guess Iris really did luck out.
00:36:11She wasn't moving out.
00:36:12She was leaving.
00:36:14Getting married.
00:36:15To Liam Archibald.
00:36:18I don't believe it.
00:36:20She was always so proud.
00:36:22So radiant.
00:36:24She'll never marry for money.
00:36:26Especially to...
00:36:27To a man who can't even open his eyes.
00:36:33What's the matter?
00:36:35Don't you want to protect me?
00:36:40Of course I want to.
00:36:42It'll be my honor.
00:36:44Yay!
00:36:44I'm so happy!
00:36:46Come shopping with me!
00:36:47I'm in the mood for something new.
00:36:49Maybe diamonds?
00:36:50Isn't this what I wanted?
00:36:52To protect her.
00:36:54For real.
00:36:55Not from the shadows.
00:36:56Not under Iris' name.
00:37:02Iris made Maddie cry.
00:37:04Maybe it's better this way.
00:37:05No one will hurt Maddie anymore.
00:37:14Ryan, I can't believe you bought me all this.
00:37:16You're spoiling me.
00:37:20Anything to make you happy.
00:37:26When you were Iris' bodyguard, were you this nice to her too?
00:37:31No.
00:37:32Only you.
00:37:34You're the best, Rai.
00:37:41Come with me tonight.
00:37:42My friend's throwing a bonfire party.
00:37:45I thought you were terrified of fire.
00:37:49I...
00:37:55Maddie!
00:38:05Maddie!
00:38:10Ryan!
00:38:11Ryan, stay with me!
00:38:20Oh my god!
00:38:21You're awake!
00:38:22You scared the hell out of me!
00:38:24Hey.
00:38:25Are you okay?
00:38:26Does anything hurt?
00:38:27I'm fine.
00:38:28As long as you're okay.
00:38:30You're unbelievable.
00:38:33You've always took care of me.
00:38:35Even when you were supposed to be Iris' bodyguard.
00:38:38The last time I got sick,
00:38:40you stood in the freezing rain all night just to get my favorite cream puffs.
00:38:48And for my birthday,
00:38:49you risked your life diving for that damn pearl.
00:38:54Why, Ryan?
00:38:55Why do you keep doing this for me?
00:38:59Because I...
00:39:01Why can't I say it?
00:39:03I carved her name into my skin.
00:39:05I bled for her.
00:39:07I almost died for her.
00:39:09So why can't I just say,
00:39:11I love her?
00:39:19Ryan?
00:39:21Maddie.
00:39:23There's something I need to tell you, properly.
00:39:27Can you meet me in three days?
00:39:29What is it?
00:39:32You'll find out then.
00:39:41Ryan, I gotta run.
00:39:42We'll talk later, okay?
00:39:44Maddie.
00:39:46Maddie, wait.
00:39:55God.
00:39:56Am I actually missing Iris?
00:40:09God, why won't it stop bleeding?
00:40:13Those men were after me.
00:40:15Who told you to take the hit?
00:40:17Who allowed you to do that?
00:40:28Try it.
00:40:29I made it myself.
00:40:33You shouldn't be doing this.
00:40:35I'm supposed to be working for you.
00:40:37You saved my life.
00:40:39That's my job.
00:40:42Shut it.
00:40:44You listen carefully.
00:40:47You may be my bodyguard,
00:40:49but your life matters.
00:40:52Iris is getting married.
00:40:55Focus, man.
00:40:56You're into Maddie.
00:40:59Stop thinking about her.
00:41:03Ryan?
00:41:04Holy shit.
00:41:06You actually called.
00:41:07I was starting to think
00:41:07bros didn't come before hoes after all.
00:41:09Cut the jokes, man.
00:41:11Listen,
00:41:12I need the rainbow room for tomorrow night.
00:41:15I'm telling Maddie how I feel.
00:41:16The rainbow room?
00:41:18You realize that setup
00:41:19costs more than a townhouse, right?
00:41:21Plus, it's booked solid through Fashion Week.
00:41:23Then pull the strings.
00:41:24I don't care how much it costs.
00:41:26I want the best diner,
00:41:27most lavish gifts that money can buy.
00:41:29I want fireworks spelling her name
00:41:30over Fifth Avenue.
00:41:31Invite everyone in the city who matters.
00:41:34Dude, you're just telling her how you feel,
00:41:36not planning a royal wedding.
00:41:39Besides,
00:41:39do you even see in Madison?
00:41:41I really don't get it.
00:41:54Hey!
00:41:58Stay with me.
00:42:00I'm getting you out.
00:42:02I'm getting you out.
00:42:10Help!
00:42:28Did you find her?
00:42:29I spoke to the priest at the church.
00:42:32The girl who saved you
00:42:33is Richard Carter's daughter.
00:42:35Apparently,
00:42:37she goes to your school.
00:42:38Because she's good.
00:42:39Real.
00:42:40The kind of good this world doesn't deserve.
00:42:44Just make sure everything's perfect.
00:42:50Tomorrow,
00:42:51Madison says yes.
00:42:55Can you believe it?
00:42:56Vanderbilt booked the entire floor
00:42:58just to tell Madison he likes her.
00:43:00There's a firework show, too.
00:43:01Supposed to spell her name
00:43:02over Fifth Avenue.
00:43:03Lucky Beach.
00:43:04God.
00:43:04Why did this kind of guy
00:43:05never go for me?
00:43:06Everything's just how you wanted it.
00:43:07Happy?
00:43:08That's fine.
00:43:12Sir,
00:43:12it's time.
00:43:13Should I cue the band
00:43:14and fireworks?
00:43:17She's not here yet.
00:43:18Give it some more time.
00:43:19Yes, sir.
00:43:24It's been four hours.
00:43:25Where the hell is Maddie?
00:43:27Hate to say it, man,
00:43:29but you might have been stood up.
00:43:30She wouldn't just disappear
00:43:32unless something happened.
00:43:34Find where she is.
00:43:35Now.
00:43:47Sir,
00:43:48Miss Carter's fine.
00:43:49She's been out shopping
00:43:50with her friends all day
00:43:51and she's at a bridal boutique
00:43:53right now,
00:43:54trying on wedding dresses.
00:43:55What?
00:43:57She's trying on wedding dresses?
00:43:59You haven't proposed yet?
00:44:01Please tell me
00:44:01she's not marrying someone else.
00:44:04The boutique.
00:44:05Now.
00:44:10I called ahead.
00:44:12The manager's coming down personally.
00:44:19I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:44:20The store's closed for a private fitting.
00:44:22No walk-ins.
00:44:23I'm looking for Madison Carter.
00:44:25Oh.
00:44:25You're here for Miss Carter.
00:44:27Unfortunately,
00:44:28she explicitly asked not to be disturbed.
00:44:30You'll have to leave.
00:44:31Move.
00:44:32Oh, sweetheart, no.
00:44:34This is an exclusive atelier,
00:44:36not a department store.
00:44:37We cater to a certain
00:44:40caliber
00:44:40of clientele.
00:44:43I suggest you leave
00:44:44before security gets involved.
00:44:47Here's not your banner, Ryan.
00:44:49Do you have any idea
00:44:51who you're talking to?
00:44:52This is Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:44:56Sir,
00:44:57please accept my deepest apologies.
00:44:59Allow me to take you
00:45:00to Miss Carter myself.
00:45:13You're really not going to see
00:45:14the bodyguard?
00:45:16He's been waiting all day.
00:45:18Please.
00:45:19I'd have to lose my mind
00:45:20to show up.
00:45:21I know exactly
00:45:22what he's planning.
00:45:23Probably some dramatic
00:45:24love conflation.
00:45:25A bodyguard thinking
00:45:26he's boyfriend material.
00:45:28Cute.
00:45:29We honestly thought
00:45:30you dragged us here
00:45:31to pick a dress for him.
00:45:33Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:45:35I'm preparing to be
00:45:36Mrs. Vanderbilt.
00:45:39Ryan?
00:45:40He's barely qualified
00:45:41to steam the gown.
00:45:45He really treats you well, though.
00:45:47The guy literally threw himself
00:45:49in front of a car for you.
00:45:53Dove into the ocean,
00:45:54carved your name into his chest,
00:45:56and you feel nothing?
00:45:59And you said he invited you
00:46:00to the Rainbow Room?
00:46:01That's not exactly cheap.
00:46:03The man's clearly serious.
00:46:06The Rainbow Room's gorgeous, sure.
00:46:08But on his salary,
00:46:09he's lucky to get a table
00:46:11near the kitchen.
00:46:12I'm not in the mood
00:46:13to embarrass myself.
00:46:14Then why not just tell him no?
00:46:16Feels cruel to ring him along
00:46:18like this.
00:46:20Because, sweetie,
00:46:22every queen needs a guard dog.
00:46:23He's hot, protective,
00:46:26and hopelessly devoted.
00:46:31And the best part?
00:46:33Iris is in love with him.
00:46:37Just picturing her little heart
00:46:39breaking every time he chooses me.
00:46:42Oh, my God.
00:46:44It's intoxicating.
00:46:46You really hate her that much?
00:46:48Oh, hate doesn't begin to cover it.
00:46:50Because of her
00:46:51and her sanctimonious
00:46:52beach of a mother,
00:46:54I was called a bastard
00:46:55for years.
00:47:00I'm telling you,
00:47:01the only tragedy
00:47:03about that church fire
00:47:04three years ago
00:47:04is that she survived it.
00:47:08Three years ago.
00:47:10Church?
00:47:11Fire?
00:47:11Wait, are you seriously saying
00:47:13you started that fire?
00:47:14Of course it was me.
00:47:16My father was supposed
00:47:17to take me to that church
00:47:18that day,
00:47:19but I faked a stomach ache
00:47:20and he took Iris instead.
00:47:22Then,
00:47:22I got someone
00:47:23to light the match.
00:47:25You could have killed
00:47:26your father.
00:47:27So,
00:47:27if he died,
00:47:29all the Carter money
00:47:29would have gone straight to me.
00:47:31Win-win.
00:47:32But that's not
00:47:33what really bothers me.
00:47:34What really sucks
00:47:36is
00:47:38that bitch
00:47:39crawled her ass
00:47:40out alive.
00:47:41You know what
00:47:42the funny thing is?
00:47:44Didn't you say
00:47:45she ended up
00:47:46with a bad case
00:47:46of PTSD
00:47:47from that fire?
00:47:49That counts as revenge.
00:47:51Funny thing is,
00:47:53she was already out
00:47:53before the fire
00:47:54got out of control.
00:47:59But St. Iris
00:48:00had to run back
00:48:00and play hero.
00:48:01She deserved
00:48:02so much worse
00:48:03than a stupid phobia.
00:48:04But I thought
00:48:05you were the one
00:48:06with the phobia.
00:48:07Everyone says so.
00:48:08Oh,
00:48:08that story?
00:48:09See,
00:48:10I waved a lighter
00:48:10at Iris once
00:48:11and the drama queen
00:48:12lost her damn mind
00:48:13screaming like
00:48:13she was on fire.
00:48:15Dad and half the house
00:48:16came running,
00:48:17so I flipped it.
00:48:18A few tears
00:48:19and I'm the poor
00:48:19baby sister being bullied.
00:48:21That shit up.
00:48:23They love a victim.
00:48:25All you have to do
00:48:26is look sad
00:48:27and cry pretty.
00:48:29All this time
00:48:31I was so wrong.
00:48:33The girl who saved me
00:48:35was Iris.
00:48:36God!
00:48:38What the hell
00:48:39have I done?
00:48:43Who's out there?
00:48:46Sir.
00:48:51Do not tell her
00:48:53I was here.
00:48:54Understood?
00:48:54Okay.
00:48:55Really.
00:48:59Sir,
00:48:59why don't we just go in?
00:49:00Didn't you hear
00:49:00what she said?
00:49:01Iris was the one
00:49:02who saved you
00:49:02and Madison...
00:49:03I heard.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05Exposing her now
00:49:05makes it too easy.
00:49:07I want her to pay
00:49:09properly.
00:49:11Organize a charity
00:49:12reception in my name
00:49:13at the Glass House
00:49:13this weekend.
00:49:15Invite every notable
00:49:16family in the city.
00:49:17Make sure Richard
00:49:18and Madison show up.
00:49:20Tell them
00:49:21I'm announcing
00:49:22something big.
00:49:24Yes, sir.
00:49:38Why?
00:49:41Why didn't I see
00:49:42this sooner?
00:49:44My God,
00:49:45I'm such a buster asshole.
00:49:46How can I put you
00:49:48go through all this?
00:49:51Iris,
00:49:53just wait for me.
00:49:57I'm going to make sure
00:49:59everyone who's hurt you
00:50:00gets what's coming to them.
00:50:03Every
00:50:04single
00:50:06one.
00:50:18God,
00:50:19this is huge.
00:50:20Only the son of America's
00:50:22richest man
00:50:22can throw something like this.
00:50:24You're telling me
00:50:25he literally
00:50:26bought out
00:50:27an entire auction
00:50:28for Maddie
00:50:28then topped it off
00:50:29with a birthday gift
00:50:30worth a penthouse.
00:50:33Mr. Carter,
00:50:35great to see you again.
00:50:35I'm the CEO
00:50:36of Sterling Corp.
00:50:37You came over a while
00:50:38back to top
00:50:39a possible partnership,
00:50:40remember?
00:50:40Oh,
00:50:41I remember.
00:50:42Your security
00:50:42wouldn't let me
00:50:43through the door.
00:50:44Right.
00:50:46That was a mix-up
00:50:47on my end.
00:50:48My apologies.
00:50:49Actually,
00:50:49I've got the contract
00:50:50with me tonight.
00:50:52One signature
00:50:53and we can get things
00:50:54moving immediately.
00:50:56Rumor has it,
00:50:57Mr. Vanderbilt's
00:50:58taken quite an interest
00:50:59in your daughter.
00:50:59Word around the room
00:51:00is maybe a proposal's
00:51:01in the cards tonight,
00:51:02a merger of the two families.
00:51:10You're very well informed.
00:51:13Don't worry,
00:51:14once Maddie marries
00:51:15into the Vanderbilt family,
00:51:17I'll make sure
00:51:18to put in a good word
00:51:19for you.
00:51:21That would be incredible,
00:51:22Mr. Carter.
00:51:23Thank you so much.
00:51:29A low-born upstart
00:51:31trying to play
00:51:32in the big langs.
00:51:34Without Vanderbilt,
00:51:35he's just a joke
00:51:36in a suit.
00:51:38Wouldn't even make it
00:51:39past my lobby.
00:51:41Ladies and gentlemen,
00:51:44Mr. Vanderbilt
00:51:45has arrived.
00:51:47Oh.
00:51:50Oh.
00:52:02Ryan.
00:52:04What?
00:52:05Your Vanderbilt?
00:52:06Wait,
00:52:07isn't he Maddie's bodyguard?
00:52:09Oh my God.
00:52:10A billionaire?
00:52:12Posing as a bodyguard
00:52:14for love?
00:52:15I've only seen this
00:52:16in soup operas!
00:52:17I've only seen this
00:52:18in soup operas!
00:52:19So the guy
00:52:20who's been protecting me
00:52:21all this time
00:52:23is Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:52:25No wonder
00:52:26he bought out
00:52:27the entire auction
00:52:28and showered me
00:52:29with those absurdly
00:52:30expensive gifts.
00:52:32You have always
00:52:33spoiled me, Ryan.
00:52:36I can't believe
00:52:37it's him.
00:52:38The heir to
00:52:39the Vanderbilt Empire
00:52:40is completely
00:52:41obsessed with me.
00:52:43I've officially
00:52:44won the game.
00:52:46Rye!
00:52:48Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:52:49forgive me,
00:52:50I must be losing
00:52:50my touch.
00:52:51How could I have
00:52:52missed it?
00:52:52You wear that name
00:52:54so well.
00:52:55My sincerest apologies
00:52:56for treating you
00:52:57like staff.
00:52:59If only I had known...
00:53:01Thank you all
00:53:02for joining me tonight.
00:53:03Before we get started,
00:53:04I have something
00:53:05important to announce.
00:53:07As many of you know,
00:53:08I've recently taken
00:53:10quite a special interest
00:53:11in Miss Carter.
00:53:14And the reason for that
00:53:16is simple.
00:53:18I'm helping my uncle
00:53:20find a wife.
00:53:22Uncle?
00:53:24Ryan?
00:53:25What are you
00:53:26talking about?
00:53:34Ryan, you've got
00:53:35excellent taste.
00:53:36She's even more charming
00:53:37than I expected.
00:53:38Allow me to introduce
00:53:39my uncle, David Black.
00:53:41He's been widowed
00:53:42for many years
00:53:43and has been searching
00:53:44for a kind, caring wife.
00:53:46No.
00:53:49This can't be.
00:53:52Ryan, you're joking, right?
00:53:55He's...
00:53:56He's old enough
00:53:57to be my grandfather.
00:54:00Just who do you think
00:54:01you are to touch
00:54:02Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:54:05Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:54:06surely there's been
00:54:07some misunderstanding?
00:54:09There's no misunderstanding.
00:54:11My uncle is very satisfied
00:54:12with your daughter.
00:54:13Once she agrees
00:54:14to the marriage,
00:54:14our families can develop
00:54:15a long-term partnership.
00:54:19A partnership, huh?
00:54:23Daddy!
00:54:24You can't be serious!
00:54:25You are going to make me
00:54:26marry this...
00:54:27this gross old man!
00:54:28Enough!
00:54:29That's your fiancée!
00:54:39Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:54:40consider it settled.
00:54:42We're ready to go
00:54:43to the registry office
00:54:44anytime.
00:54:48Sounds perfect.
00:55:01This isn't how it was
00:55:02supposed to be!
00:55:03It's not supposed
00:55:03to be like this!
00:55:05Ryan!
00:55:06You said you wanted me!
00:55:08Why are you doing this to me?
00:55:10The girl I wanted
00:55:11was the one who saved me
00:55:12in that church fire
00:55:14three years ago.
00:55:15Not you.
00:55:17What are you talking about?
00:55:20I was wrong.
00:55:22I thought you were her,
00:55:23but the one who actually
00:55:24saved me was Iris.
00:55:25Iris.
00:55:31So you can go ahead
00:55:33and marry my uncle.
00:55:34You'll be the perfect wife.
00:55:36Take my uncle and Miss Carter
00:55:38to the registry office.
00:55:39Now!
00:55:40No!
00:55:41Let go of me!
00:55:42I don't want this!
00:55:43Ryan!
00:55:44Please!
00:55:45Don't do this!
00:55:49No!
00:55:50No!
00:55:51No!
00:55:52No!
00:55:52No!
00:55:54No!
00:55:54Now that the marriage
00:55:55is settled,
00:55:56we can focus on our families
00:55:57working together.
00:55:58Not yet.
00:55:59I have one more thing
00:56:00to announce.
00:56:01Yes, yes, of course.
00:56:03Please, go ahead.
00:56:07From this moment on,
00:56:09I, Ryan Vanderbilt,
00:56:11is cutting off
00:56:12the Carter Group.
00:56:13Any company that partners
00:56:14with them
00:56:15will find themselves
00:56:17in direct opposition
00:56:18to me.
00:56:27No, no, wait.
00:56:28Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:56:29didn't you just say
00:56:30we'd be entering
00:56:30a long-term partnership?
00:56:33You actually believe that?
00:56:39Sir,
00:56:40just got word
00:56:40from the headquarters.
00:56:41Our accounts
00:56:42have been frozen.
00:56:43The bank.
00:56:44Carter Group
00:56:45is officially paid.
00:56:54Iris,
00:56:55I've made sure
00:56:56everyone who's hurt you
00:56:57is paid.
00:56:58Just hang on.
00:56:59I'm coming for you.
00:57:06Book the earliest
00:57:07flight to Florida.
00:57:08Yes, sir.
00:57:11Sir,
00:57:12news just came in.
00:57:14Miss Carter's wedding
00:57:14is set for
00:57:15today.
00:57:17Wedding?
00:57:18Isn't Liam Archibald
00:57:19a vegetable?
00:57:20He woke up
00:57:21the day Miss Carter
00:57:23arrived in Florida.
00:57:33Is this the man
00:57:35I meant to marry?
00:57:37It's a shame.
00:57:38The hero who once
00:57:39led armies
00:57:40and made headlines,
00:57:41now trapped in this bed.
00:57:43But I've chosen
00:57:44this marriage.
00:57:45For rich and for poor,
00:57:47in sickness and in health.
00:57:48I'll stand by you.
00:57:50I swear it.
00:57:53Why am I even
00:57:53saying all this?
00:57:55Not like you can
00:57:56actually hear me.
00:57:57Well, at least
00:57:58if I mess up
00:57:59or say the wrong thing,
00:58:00you won't be able
00:58:01to yell at me.
00:58:03You're stuck with me now.
00:58:04No complaints.
00:58:30Liam's awake soon.
00:58:32He'll return to his world.
00:58:33medals, applause,
00:58:35and glory.
00:58:36But me?
00:58:39Maybe the Archibald family
00:58:41will tear up the engagement.
00:58:42After all,
00:58:43I wasn't even the one
00:58:44he agreed to marry.
00:58:46Iris,
00:58:47thank you.
00:58:49It was you
00:58:50who brought Liam back.
00:58:55Me?
00:58:57Mrs. Archibald,
00:58:58you really don't need
00:58:59to thank me.
00:59:00Liam recovered
00:59:00all by himself.
00:59:01No, Iris.
00:59:02I know Liam's condition
00:59:03better than anyone.
00:59:04He fought hard
00:59:05to wake up
00:59:07because of you.
00:59:13Mom,
00:59:14you make me sound
00:59:15like I'm made of glass.
00:59:16You are,
00:59:16until the doctor
00:59:17says otherwise.
00:59:18And
00:59:19don't you dare
00:59:21talk back
00:59:22to your mother
00:59:22right
00:59:23now.
00:59:25All right,
00:59:26ma'am,
00:59:26you win.
00:59:29Mom,
00:59:29could I have
00:59:30a moment alone
00:59:30with my fiancé?
00:59:32If he gives you
00:59:33any trouble,
00:59:34just yell.
00:59:34I'll come in swinging.
00:59:37I will.
00:59:40Good luck, son.
00:59:49This engagement
00:59:50between the Archibald
00:59:51and Carter families
00:59:52was arranged
00:59:52by our parents.
00:59:54I know you didn't
00:59:55agree to marry me.
00:59:58Since you're awake now,
01:00:00we can cancel it
01:00:01if you want.
01:00:04No.
01:00:06The engagement
01:00:07stays.
01:00:11You really don't know
01:00:12why I agreed
01:00:13to this marriage?
01:00:15I agreed to it,
01:00:16not for the Carter name,
01:00:18but because of
01:00:18your mother, Rose.
01:00:20My mother?
01:00:21Your mother and mine
01:00:22grew up together.
01:00:23They were like sisters.
01:00:24They promised each other
01:00:25that if they ever had
01:00:26a son and a daughter,
01:00:27we'd marry.
01:00:28After Rose passed,
01:00:30we tried to get you
01:00:31out of the Carter house,
01:00:32but your father refused
01:00:33until I became a colonel.
01:00:35Suddenly,
01:00:36the marriage was back
01:00:36on the table.
01:00:37I finally had a chance
01:00:38to take you away.
01:00:39I would have never
01:00:40married your sister,
01:00:41Iris.
01:00:42The woman I want
01:00:43to marry
01:00:45is you.
01:00:48I've been out
01:00:48for a while.
01:00:49The world has changed.
01:00:51But I swear to you,
01:00:51I'll protect you
01:00:52for the rest of my life.
01:00:54I believe you.
01:00:55From now on,
01:00:56whatever the Archibald family
01:00:57has, it's yours too.
01:00:58Anything you want,
01:00:59just say the word
01:00:59and it's yours.
01:01:05We barely knew each other
01:01:06before all this,
01:01:08but now we can
01:01:08figure it out together.
01:01:10Give me a chance
01:01:11to win your heart.
01:01:14Okay.
01:01:34It's okay.
01:01:36I'm here.
01:01:42I'm here.
01:01:43I told you not
01:01:44to use the fireplace.
01:01:45I'm so sorry,
01:01:46Mr. Archibald.
01:01:47I forgot I'll take
01:01:47care of it right away.
01:01:48Don't let it happen again.
01:01:52How did you know
01:01:52I was afraid of fire?
01:01:54I know everything
01:01:55about you, Iris.
01:02:04What do you think?
01:02:12Your arm!
01:02:15I'm fine.
01:02:17Are you okay?
01:02:24Your arm,
01:02:26it really doesn't hurt?
01:02:27It's just a scratch.
01:02:32Is that a ring?
01:02:34But your family
01:02:35sent me one already.
01:02:36Open it.
01:02:41This is yours.
01:02:44Iris,
01:02:45I swore an oath
01:02:45to my country.
01:02:47This medal
01:02:48carries that promise.
01:02:49My honor
01:02:50and my pride.
01:02:51Now,
01:02:52I'm giving it to you.
01:02:58From this day forward,
01:03:00every honor
01:03:01that bears my name
01:03:01will be
01:03:03yours too.
01:03:06Will you stand
01:03:07beside me
01:03:09for life?
01:03:11For life.
01:03:32My God,
01:03:33the bride is gorgeous.
01:03:36They say
01:03:36she's the reason
01:03:37Colonel Archibald
01:03:38miraculously recovered.
01:03:40She must be
01:03:41his good luck charm.
01:03:42From the moment
01:03:43I came into
01:03:44the Archibald family,
01:03:45they've been
01:03:45nothing but kind.
01:03:47No arrogance
01:03:48or judgment.
01:03:49Even the guests
01:03:50are gracious.
01:03:51Not one person
01:03:52has brought up
01:03:52the Carters.
01:03:54He really is
01:03:55keeping me safe.
01:04:03Dearly beloved,
01:04:04we are gathered here
01:04:06to witness the union
01:04:07of Colonel
01:04:07Liam Archibald
01:04:08and Miss Iris Carter.
01:04:11Liam,
01:04:12do you take Iris
01:04:13to be your wife,
01:04:14to have and to hold
01:04:16in sickness
01:04:17and in health?
01:04:18I do.
01:04:20And Iris,
01:04:21do you take Liam
01:04:22to be your husband?
01:04:23For better or worse,
01:04:25for as long as you
01:04:25both shall live.
01:04:27I do.
01:04:29If anyone here
01:04:30objects to this union,
01:04:31speak now
01:04:32or forever hold
01:04:34your peace.
01:04:35Very well.
01:04:36By the power
01:04:37vested in me,
01:04:38I now pronounce...
01:04:43I object!
01:04:55Please don't marry him,
01:04:56Iris.
01:05:01Isn't that the
01:05:02Vanderbilt heir?
01:05:02I hear his family
01:05:03owns half of New York.
01:05:04He just crashed
01:05:05the wedding.
01:05:06Is he here to fight
01:05:07for the bride?
01:05:09A billionaire love
01:05:10confession at a
01:05:11colonel ceremony?
01:05:11That's one hell
01:05:13of a headline.
01:05:14Ryan,
01:05:15what is he doing here?
01:05:19Iris, please.
01:05:21Don't marry him.
01:05:24What the hell
01:05:25are you doing here?
01:05:27Shouldn't you be
01:05:27with your precious
01:05:28Madison?
01:05:29Iris,
01:05:30it was never
01:05:31Madison.
01:05:32It was you.
01:05:34You're the one
01:05:35who saved me
01:05:36from that fire
01:05:36three years ago.
01:05:38You're the one
01:05:39I've been looking
01:05:39for all along.
01:05:41And I was too
01:05:42blind to see it.
01:05:49The fire was
01:05:50everywhere.
01:05:50I couldn't see a thing.
01:05:52That boy,
01:05:53it was Ryan.
01:05:54From that moment,
01:05:55I fell for you.
01:05:56I was an idiot.
01:05:57I got it wrong.
01:05:59I mistook
01:05:59Madison for you.
01:06:03But now I know
01:06:04the truth.
01:06:05Madison's been
01:06:06feeding me lies.
01:06:07You're the one
01:06:08who suffered
01:06:09in the Carter House.
01:06:10You're the one
01:06:10who's terrified
01:06:11of fire.
01:06:13And because of
01:06:14what she and her
01:06:15mother did,
01:06:17your mother died.
01:06:20Iris,
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:22I'm so sorry.
01:06:27So what, Ryan?
01:06:29You think an apology
01:06:31erases everything
01:06:32I've lived through?
01:06:37Iris,
01:06:37I was wrong.
01:06:38I swear
01:06:40I'll spend the rest
01:06:42of my life
01:06:42making this right.
01:06:44Make it right?
01:06:46Have you forgotten
01:06:47what you did for
01:06:48Madison at my expense?
01:06:49You bought out
01:06:50an entire auction
01:06:51just to stroke
01:06:52her ego.
01:06:52She says one word
01:06:54and you're already
01:06:54diving for pearls,
01:06:55carving her name
01:06:56into your skin.
01:06:58You protected her
01:06:59while you let me bleed.
01:07:00And when I accidentally
01:07:01splashed her,
01:07:02you locked me in a freezer
01:07:03and nearly froze me
01:07:04to death.
01:07:04I'm sorry.
01:07:07I swear
01:07:08I'm sorry.
01:07:09Please,
01:07:10Iris,
01:07:10just give me
01:07:11another chance.
01:07:15Don't touch me.
01:07:17I've already
01:07:18taken care of everyone
01:07:19who hurt you.
01:07:20Madison and Richard,
01:07:21they've paid.
01:07:23Madison's married
01:07:24to my 80-year-old uncle.
01:07:27Your father's company
01:07:28is ruined.
01:07:29Enough,
01:07:30Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:07:31This is my wedding.
01:07:32Iris is my bride.
01:07:34You just woke up.
01:07:36How much could you
01:07:36possibly feel for her?
01:07:38Hand Iris back to me
01:07:39and I'll make you a deal.
01:07:40From now on,
01:07:41I'll step away
01:07:42from any business.
01:07:43The Archibalds
01:07:44and Vanderbilt
01:07:45builds would compete over.
01:07:57For all his business?
01:07:58That's astronomical.
01:08:00Even the smallest
01:08:00Vanderbilt deal
01:08:01is worth billions.
01:08:02Archibald has to
01:08:03take that deal.
01:08:05No way he'll give up
01:08:05a prize eye that big
01:08:06for a woman.
01:08:07No.
01:08:08Iris is my wife.
01:08:10Not something
01:08:11to be traded.
01:08:12Now leave.
01:08:14Get out!
01:08:16Iris, come with me.
01:08:18I swear
01:08:19I'll make it right.
01:08:21No.
01:08:22I will not.
01:08:24Please, continue.
01:08:27Continue and see
01:08:29what happens!
01:08:37Sir.
01:08:39Everything's ready
01:08:40out there.
01:08:47What the hell
01:08:48are you doing now?
01:08:50I've wired this place
01:08:52with explosives.
01:08:53If you don't leave
01:08:54with me,
01:08:54everyone in this room
01:08:56dies!
01:09:03Have you gone insane?
01:09:05Yes!
01:09:06You're about to marry
01:09:07someone else!
01:09:07Of course!
01:09:08Of course I've
01:09:09gone insane!
01:09:12Ryan,
01:09:13what do you want
01:09:14from me?
01:09:16Come with me,
01:09:17please.
01:09:20That's not happening.
01:09:26then we die together.
01:09:34Then we die together.
01:09:41You can count us in.
01:09:46Miss Carter,
01:09:48I don't want to die.
01:09:49My daughter is waiting
01:09:50for me to come home.
01:09:52Please, just go back
01:09:53with Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:09:54Please, Miss Carter,
01:09:55just go with him.
01:09:56Please, we don't want
01:09:57to die.
01:10:02Fine.
01:10:03You want me?
01:10:04I'm giving you
01:10:05seven days.
01:10:07After that,
01:10:07I swear I'll kill myself
01:10:09before I spend
01:10:09another day with you.
01:10:12Deal.
01:10:16Iris,
01:10:17don't go with him.
01:10:20Trust me.
01:10:21I'll come back to you
01:10:22in seven days.
01:10:26Wait!
01:10:31There's something
01:10:32important in here.
01:10:34Read it when you can.
01:10:59If you try to take me
01:11:00back to New York,
01:11:01I'll kill myself
01:11:01right here.
01:11:03All right.
01:11:05You like Florida?
01:11:07We'll stay right here.
01:11:08I just bought a villa
01:11:09in Palm Beach.
01:11:11You'll love it.
01:11:37This room,
01:11:38it's exactly like
01:11:39my mother's
01:11:40before she died.
01:11:41Do you like it?
01:11:42Of course.
01:11:43This is what you do.
01:11:44The gifts,
01:11:45the promises,
01:11:46the drama.
01:11:47I've already seen
01:11:47these tricks on Madison.
01:11:49You were ready
01:11:49to freeze me to death
01:11:50chasing a fantasy
01:11:51you called love.
01:11:53Iris,
01:11:54I'll make it up to you.
01:11:55What's done is done.
01:11:56How can you fix
01:11:57something already
01:11:57broken in the past?
01:12:23You made all this?
01:12:25Everything you love.
01:12:31learn this from Madison,
01:12:32didn't you?
01:12:37Please,
01:12:38let's not talk about her.
01:12:41Oh, I'm going to talk,
01:12:42all right?
01:12:50If I remember right,
01:12:52Madison had a sweet tooth.
01:12:56You used to make desserts
01:12:57for her all the time,
01:12:58didn't you?
01:13:02When you dove into that reef
01:13:03for her pearls,
01:13:04did it ever cross your mind
01:13:05you might die down there?
01:13:11And when she saw her name
01:13:12carved across your chest,
01:13:14did she cry?
01:13:17Did she finally
01:13:19believe you loved her?
01:13:34Iris!
01:13:36Let's go!
01:13:49Cut it out.
01:13:51What?
01:13:52You don't like the font?
01:13:55Don't move.
01:14:06There.
01:14:08Do you feel any better?
01:14:12Whatever happens to you
01:14:13has nothing to do with me.
01:14:15Not anymore.
01:14:26Where are you taking me?
01:14:27Let me go!
01:14:29Let me go!
01:14:44What are you doing?
01:14:55I locked you in a freezer
01:14:56for two hours.
01:14:57I'm paying for what I did.
01:14:59The key is in your hands now.
01:15:01My life is yours to decide.
01:15:03You think this makes things right?
01:15:04Not right.
01:15:05Just...
01:15:06even.
01:15:07I drafted a new will.
01:15:08If I die today,
01:15:09every cent of the
01:15:10Vanderbilt fortune
01:15:11goes to you.
01:15:15You expect me to believe that?
01:15:17It's true, Iris!
01:15:20Every word!
01:15:22Fine.
01:15:23Then go in.
01:15:24I won't feel a thing.
01:15:26I won't feel a thing.
01:15:28Maybe.
01:15:28I won't feel a thing.
01:15:49I won't feel a thing.
01:15:56Where are you gonna do it?
01:15:57Please, open the door.
01:15:59He'll die in there.
01:16:15Sir!
01:16:16Sir!
01:16:16Wake up!
01:16:17Please!
01:16:18Ryan, the cruelest revenge isn't hate, it's indifference.
01:16:21You'd die for me, and I'd let you.
01:16:23Because you're the reason I went numb in the first place.
01:16:30Don't go.
01:16:31Iris, I love you.
01:16:33I do.
01:16:48Don't go.
01:16:49Tell me your name.
01:16:52Iris.
01:16:53My name's Iris.
01:16:55Iris.
01:16:56I'll remember.
01:16:57Wait for me.
01:16:59For me.
01:17:00I'll come find you.
01:17:15Ryan, promise you'll always love me.
01:17:20I promise.
01:17:29Iris.
01:17:30Iris.
01:17:31Iris.
01:17:31Iris.
01:17:31Iris!
01:17:37I know.
01:17:38All right.
01:17:39Bye, babe.
01:17:53What the hell is wrong with you?
01:17:55Now!
01:17:56Who are you talking to?
01:18:00Who else?
01:18:02My husband.
01:18:03Don't call him that!
01:18:05I will always call him that.
01:18:08He's my husband.
01:18:09The man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with.
01:18:14Iris, don't do this to me.
01:18:16I'd rather die than see you with him.
01:18:19Guess this is what I deserve.
01:18:22Tell me.
01:18:24Is it really over between us?
01:18:26Over?
01:18:27Ryan?
01:18:29We never had anything to begin with.
01:18:34Today's the last day of our deal.
01:18:37Finally, I can leave this place.
01:18:45There's something important in here.
01:18:47Read it when you can.
01:18:57What is this?
01:19:00Iris, I saw you for the first time today at the debutante ball.
01:19:03You looked like an angel in that white dress.
01:19:06So beautiful, I forgot to breathe.
01:19:09I watched you from the balcony for the longest time.
01:19:12Then you smiled at me.
01:19:14That's when I knew I was done for.
01:19:17Iris, I heard that bastard daughter has been making trouble for you again.
01:19:21I secretly sent a doctor into the Carter house to take care of you.
01:19:24I wanted so bad to go myself, but I couldn't find a reason.
01:19:29Iris, it's your eighth birthday and your mother's memorial.
01:19:34I waited by the cemetery all day.
01:19:36It broke my heart to see you crying there alone.
01:19:40I brought your favorite flowers.
01:19:42One day, I'll hand them to you myself.
01:19:48Iris, Richard brought up the engagement again.
01:19:51I know it's a trap.
01:19:52He wants me to marry Madison.
01:19:54But I agreed because it was the only way I could marry you.
01:19:57If you're reading this, it means we're already married.
01:19:59Don't be afraid.
01:20:00It has always been about love.
01:20:01I've been waiting for a day ever since I first saw you at 16.
01:20:07Liam, I'm coming back to you.
01:20:18Where are you going?
01:20:20It's been seven days, Ryan.
01:20:22I'm going home.
01:20:23Home?
01:20:23Yes.
01:20:24Home.
01:20:25Liam's home.
01:20:26And mine.
01:20:26You promised me.
01:20:27Or are you going back on your word?
01:20:28I did promise, but first you have to choose.
01:20:31Liam or me.
01:20:37Why would you even need to ask?
01:20:38Of course I choose.
01:20:39If you choose him, I drink this poison.
01:20:42Right now.
01:20:46You think that's going to scare me?
01:20:47I'll say it one last time.
01:20:49No matter what you do, I still choose Liam.
01:20:55You're sure about that?
01:21:15Sir, sir!
01:21:30You may now kiss the bride.
01:21:38Iris, I love you.
01:21:41I love you too.
01:21:42There's something I need to tell you.
01:21:44The hospital called this morning.
01:21:46They couldn't save him.
01:21:48Ryan's gone.
01:21:49Hey, it's our wedding day.
01:21:50Let's not talk about other people.
01:21:52All right.
01:21:57Ryan, goodbye.
01:22:00Goodbye.
