00:00:00My mother only had one daughter. She's not my sister. She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:00:07What do you want?
00:00:09I want 10 billion.
00:00:11On our daughter's birthday, you waltz in with your mistress and your bastard child?
00:00:17Everyone thinks I'm greedy, but nobody asks about all the shit I've been dragged through.
00:00:2310 billion dollars?
00:00:26Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:00:28God, no!
00:00:31I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:00:35I want a guy who'd tattoo my name into his chest.
00:00:40He is willing to endure pain for others.
00:00:43My wounds have never been worth mentioning.
00:00:46And the pearl.
00:00:48She wants the pearl from Atlantic Reefs.
00:00:53He instinctively pushed me aside to sleep.
00:00:59He personally locked me in the ice cell and nearly left me to die there.
00:01:03Get her to a hospital.
00:01:07But he will never know that I was the one to save him from that fire.
00:01:15I left without saying goodbye.
00:01:21I object!
00:01:24I thought he would never understand who passes in this.
00:01:27Please don't marry him, Iris.
00:01:29You're the one I've been looking for all along.
00:01:41I've made my decision.
00:01:43I'll marry the comatose colonel from the Archibald family.
00:01:47That's wonderful.
00:01:49You've finally come to your senses.
00:01:51The Archibalds have been pushing hard.
00:01:53They expect you to move into their Florida estate within two weeks.
00:01:56Tell me, what kind of wedding dress do you want?
00:01:58I can have designers from Paris or Milan flown in.
00:02:01Since I'm taking your precious little love child's place,
00:02:03the least you can do is make it worth my while.
00:02:07Watch your mouth.
00:02:09She's your sister.
00:02:10Sister?
00:02:11My mother only had one daughter.
00:02:13She's not my sister.
00:02:14She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
00:02:26What do you want?
00:02:27I want ten billion.
00:02:30Ten bill?
00:02:30Are you insane?
00:02:31That would drain the entire family trust.
00:02:33One more thing.
00:02:34Once I'm married,
00:02:36have Ryan reassign to babysit your precious love child.
00:02:39Ryan?
00:02:40The man you were ready to marry?
00:02:42I thought you'd take him with you to the Archibald estate.
00:02:44Just say yes or no, Dad.
00:02:48Two years ago,
00:02:49Liam Archibald was a rising star.
00:02:52The youngest colonel this country ever had.
00:02:55I pulled every string to get Madison engaged to him.
00:02:58Thought I'd set her up for life.
00:02:59Then he gets himself blown up
00:03:01and ends up in a coma.
00:03:03Lucky for me,
00:03:04I've got another daughter.
00:03:05If you marry him instead,
00:03:07Madison gets another chance.
00:03:10Fine.
00:03:11You go through with the marriage
00:03:13and I'll make both things happen.
00:03:16Wait.
00:03:19I understand why you'd want the money.
00:03:21But you love Ryan.
00:03:22How can you just hand him over to Madison?
00:03:38I love you so much, Maddie.
00:03:42You asked why I could hand him over?
00:03:44Because he's just like you, Daddy.
00:03:47He only ever loved Madison.
00:03:51Ryan.
00:03:52I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
00:03:56Ryan.
00:03:57I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard.
00:03:58Shirts off.
00:04:03Muscles don't mean much.
00:04:05I need someone who can actually fight.
00:04:17That's it.
00:04:18He's the one.
00:04:29Ryan.
00:04:30My heel broke.
00:04:31Can you carry me back to my room?
00:04:33I'll grab you a new pair.
00:04:41Ryan.
00:04:42It's storming out there.
00:04:43I'm scared.
00:04:44Can I stay with you tonight?
00:04:48You'll be fine.
00:04:49Ask one of the maids to stay with you.
00:05:00Ryan.
00:05:01Help me.
00:05:01I fell for you before I even knew what love was.
00:05:04Maybe because after mom died, you were the only constant left.
00:05:08But three years goes by, no matter how hard I tried.
00:05:11You never saw me the way I saw you.
00:05:13I thought you just didn't feel things.
00:05:15Until that day before graduation.
00:05:17Dude, your family owns like half of New York.
00:05:20You can have any girl you want.
00:05:21Just go for Madison.
00:05:22Why waste time playing bodyguard for the sister?
00:05:25You don't get it.
00:05:26Maddie's different.
00:05:26She has been the family secret her whole life.
00:05:29If I push too fast, she'll shut down.
00:05:32Okay, but seriously though.
00:05:33Nothing for the sister?
00:05:35I mean, the way she throws herself at you, bro.
00:05:38Woof.
00:05:39Please.
00:05:40Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
00:05:42Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
00:05:45We're graduating tomorrow.
00:05:47You really gonna keep playing her guard dog?
00:05:49For Maddie?
00:05:50I'd do anything.
00:05:54That was the moment I decided I'd never love you again.
00:06:02Miss Iris, what do you need?
00:06:04You never change.
00:06:06You worship everything about her.
00:06:07Even when it's just a damn picture.
00:06:09But the second you see me, you turn to stone.
00:06:13If it's not important, please leave.
00:06:15I'd like to get some sleep.
00:06:17There's this auction tomorrow night.
00:06:18I need you to come with me.
00:06:20I can't.
00:06:22I'm taking the night off.
00:06:24Madison will be there.
00:06:26Then I'll be there.
00:06:28Of course.
00:06:29The second her name comes up,
00:06:31every rule just goes out the window.
00:06:34Don't worry, Ryan.
00:06:35I'll make sure you end up where you've always wanted to be.
00:06:38With Madison.
00:06:39Up front.
00:06:40What?
00:06:41The passenger seat.
00:06:42That's where the bodyguard belongs.
00:06:44That's strange.
00:06:45Usually she'd lose her mind if I didn't sit next to her.
00:06:53Sit next to me.
00:06:55Say no, and you are fired.
00:06:58From now on,
00:06:59you always sit next to me.
00:07:15Oh, gosh.
00:07:16Iris, what are the odds?
00:07:17I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:21Oh, gosh.
00:07:22Iris, what are the odds?
00:07:23I didn't know you'd be here.
00:07:25Don't touch me.
00:07:27I was just trying to be nice.
00:07:31Oh, Ryan.
00:07:32Hey.
00:07:32That was so sweet of you,
00:07:34going all the way to Brooklyn in the storm
00:07:36just to get me those croissants.
00:07:39Gosh, I've been so sick.
00:07:40I didn't even get to thank you properly.
00:07:43Oh, it's nothing.
00:07:44It was on the way.
00:07:46At least let me buy you dinner.
00:07:48I insist.
00:07:50Whatever you want.
00:07:51We should invite Iris, too.
00:07:55You don't look so good, Iris.
00:07:58Gosh, I would have thought you're the sick one.
00:08:00I'd worry about myself
00:08:02if I was the bastard kid.
00:08:04We are really not that close, sweetheart.
00:08:09Ladies and gentlemen,
00:08:10the auction is about to begin.
00:08:13Ryan, what's going on with her?
00:08:16Don't worry about it.
00:08:17Come on.
00:08:19Once I marry into the Archibalds,
00:08:21I'm on my own.
00:08:23Definitely can't count on Dad.
00:08:25I need to buy something
00:08:26that guarantees me a seat at the table.
00:08:29An 18th century sapphire crown
00:08:32by French master Lucien Marchand.
00:08:40$500,000.
00:08:43$1,000,000.
00:08:44$1,000,000.
00:08:44$1,500,000.
00:08:45Oh, Iris, that crown is so my vibe.
00:08:49Maybe let me have this one?
00:08:50Your allowance doesn't exactly keep up with mine.
00:08:53Allowance?
00:08:54Richard couldn't be bothered to give me lunch money.
00:08:57If it weren't for Mom's trust fund,
00:08:59I'd be starving.
00:09:02$2,000,000.
00:09:04$2,500,000.
00:09:05$3,500,000.
00:09:09$3,500,000.
00:09:10You sure you have enough to pay the bid?
00:09:12I'd hate to see you embarrassed yourself.
00:09:15$5,000,000.
00:09:17Is she out of her mind?
00:09:18Oh, my God.
00:09:19Funny.
00:09:20I'm starting to think you're the one who can't pay.
00:09:23Ma'am, would you like to continue?
00:09:26Of course.
00:09:28Just give me a sec.
00:09:30Call my dad.
00:09:31Tell him I need more funds now.
00:09:33You know I always get what I want.
00:09:35Daddy makes sure of it.
00:09:37Not this time.
00:09:39I've got every cent of Carter money locked under my account.
00:09:43Daddy's dry, bitch.
00:09:47What?
00:09:49$5,000,000 once.
00:09:51$5,000,000 twice.
00:09:53$10,000,000.
00:09:55To be clear, what I'm saying is whatever she bids,
00:09:57I'll add $10,000,000 on top.
00:09:59Are you sure you wish to continue, miss?
00:10:05Allow me to introduce myself.
00:10:08I'm here on behalf of Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:11He's asked me to inform you that anything Miss Madison Carter
00:10:14has her sights set on tonight, he'll buy it.
00:10:17No limits.
00:10:18Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:10:20The Vanderbilt heir.
00:10:21I heard he's never married.
00:10:23Rumor is he's been crazy in love for years.
00:10:25Uh, you think Madison's the one?
00:10:28Could you tell me where Mr. Vanderbilt is?
00:10:30I'd love to thank him in person.
00:10:33Mr. Vanderbilt isn't available to appear tonight.
00:10:36When the time's right, he'll reach out himself.
00:10:40Well, dear sister, still planning to keep bidding?
00:10:44Oh, silly me.
00:10:45I forgot Mr. Vanderbilt is covering everything I want.
00:10:49You should probably stop now,
00:10:52before you bid yourself into bankruptcy.
00:10:54Everyone knows that Vanderbilts are the richest family in the country.
00:11:01Next up, a rare canary yellow diamond.
00:11:07Add 10 million.
00:11:09An 18th century oil painting.
00:11:11Add 10 million.
00:11:13A hand-carved mammoth fossil sculpture.
00:11:15Add 10 million.
00:11:16The eternal flame necklace.
00:11:20At 200 million.
00:11:24Add...
00:11:24That's enough.
00:11:25Tell me, does Mr. Vanderbilt plan on leaving anything for anyone else?
00:11:30Apologies, ma'am.
00:11:31Mr. Vanderbilt only asked that Miss Madison Carter enjoy herself tonight.
00:11:35Everything else isn't his concern.
00:11:42Ryan, you're fucking unbelievable.
00:11:47Here's with you.
00:11:49Take me to Shadow Arena.
00:11:51Yes, ma'am.
00:11:54Iris!
00:11:55Going to Shadow Arena?
00:11:56Perfect!
00:11:57I'm bored out of my mind.
00:11:59Take me with you!
00:12:01No.
00:12:01Drive.
00:12:06Why do you think Mr. Vanderbilt's being so nice to me?
00:12:09We've never even met.
00:12:10Simple.
00:12:11He likes you.
00:12:12Don't tease me.
00:12:14I'm not.
00:12:15Men don't waste money on things they don't want.
00:12:18And you?
00:12:19You're hard not to want.
00:12:21Then, do you want me?
00:12:22If you two want to eye-puck each other, take it outside.
00:12:26This is my car.
00:12:29Sorry.
00:12:29I'll be quiet.
00:12:43Place your bets.
00:12:45Last round.
00:12:46Who's taking it home tonight?
00:12:49No!
00:12:50Beat him, Sam!
00:12:53No!
00:12:54No!
00:12:55No!
00:12:56No!
00:12:56No!
00:12:57No!
00:12:57No!
00:12:58No!
00:12:58No!
00:12:59No!
00:12:59No!
00:12:59No!
00:13:00No!
00:13:00No!
00:13:02No!
00:13:03No!
00:13:04No!
00:13:07No!
00:13:08No!
00:13:11No!
00:13:12No!
00:13:12I have had too much.
00:13:17Hey, gorgeous.
00:13:19How about a drink?
00:13:22Don't be shy, sweetheart. We just want to have a little fun.
00:13:26Ryan!
00:13:37Get the fuck out of here!
00:13:44Didn't realize you'd switched jobs from my bodyguard to Madison's.
00:13:48Sorry, I didn't see.
00:13:50Didn't see, or didn't want to.
00:13:53You've had too much to drink, Miss Iris.
00:13:56What are you two whispering about?
00:13:58Don't leave me out!
00:14:09Maddie! Look out!
00:14:18Ryan...
00:14:20You were supposed to protect Iris, not me.
00:14:23Hey, stop. This was my call. If it happened a hundred times over, you'd still come first.
00:14:31Why?
00:14:31Why? Because I'm in love with you.
00:14:34Because I'm in love with you.
00:15:01I didn't react fast enough.
00:15:03I didn't react fast enough.
00:15:04Don't blame Madison.
00:15:05I promise it won't happen again.
00:15:07Damn right it won't happen again.
00:15:10I won't give you a chance to hurt me again.
00:15:21Miss Iris, what do you need?
00:15:24You're my bodyguard.
00:15:25You failed.
00:15:26I'm going to punish you.
00:15:29I'm going to punish you.
00:15:29Any objections?
00:15:30The Vanderbilt heir, born into the richest family in the country.
00:15:34With the world at his feet and a throne carved in gold.
00:15:38I bet no one has ever dared to lay a finger on you.
00:15:42Today, he learns what it feels like to bleed for a change.
00:15:46Go on, Ryan. Walk away.
00:15:47But you won't, will you?
00:15:49You'll stay, just to stay close to her.
00:15:52No objections.
00:15:55Take your clothes off.
00:16:02Go.
00:16:06Iris, stop it!
00:16:08If someone has to pay for what happened, punish me!
00:16:14Leave Ryan out of it.
00:16:15Move.
00:16:16Now.
00:16:16You got hurt because of me, Iris.
00:16:19If you need someone to blame, it's me!
00:16:23Get Madison out of my way.
00:16:28Do it.
00:16:35So, so cold.
00:16:38Fuck.
00:16:39Get out!
00:16:49Once I moved to Florida, no more snow.
00:16:52Not like this hellhole ever gave me anything to miss.
00:16:56Run!
00:16:57Run!
00:16:58Run!
00:16:59Run!
00:17:01Run!
00:17:03Run!
00:17:05Run!
00:17:06Run!
00:17:07Run!
00:17:09Run!
00:17:10Run!
00:17:12Run!
00:17:14Run!
00:17:14Run!
00:17:17Run!
00:17:29Who?
00:17:31Who?...
00:17:31Who would do this to me?
00:17:35She's been in there two hours, sir
00:17:36At this temp, she won't last much longer
00:17:41Get her to a hospital
00:17:44Ryan
00:17:47It was Ryan
00:17:50He almost freezes me to death in here
00:17:54Just because I spilled a little water on his precious Madison
00:18:02You see the guy in the room across the hall?
00:18:04Movie star looks
00:18:05Won't leave his girlfriend's side
00:18:07Yeah, over a cold, too
00:18:10Some guys are just built different
00:18:11Meanwhile, this poor girl just got out of the ICU
00:18:15Not a single visitor
00:18:24I swore I was done with him
00:18:25So why does it still hurt like hell?
00:18:30No more crying, Iris
00:18:31No one's coming for you
00:18:33You have to save yourself
00:18:41Iris
00:18:46Maddie's been crying to me again
00:18:47Says you've been ignoring her
00:18:50Tomorrow's her birthday party
00:18:52I want you to get her something nice
00:18:54Make peace
00:18:58I've got plans tomorrow
00:18:59Drop the attitude
00:19:01This might be the last birthday you spend with her
00:19:04Once you marry into...
00:19:05What do you think, Ryan?
00:19:06Should I go?
00:19:07You should
00:19:08Okay, then
00:19:10Maddie's birthday it is
00:19:23To mom and dad
00:19:24Thank you for always being my biggest supporters
00:19:27And to everyone here
00:19:29Thanks for celebrating another trip around the sun with me
00:19:32Cheers
00:19:33Cheers
00:19:34Cheers
00:19:38My beautiful girl
00:19:40A year older, somehow you just keep getting brighter
00:19:44You'll always be our pride and joy, sweetheart
00:19:53My baby girl is turning six
00:19:56She deserves the biggest party in the city
00:19:59Nothing less
00:20:00You're the best, daddy
00:20:01And what about mommy?
00:20:03Mommy's the best, too
00:20:09When you asked me to marry you
00:20:11You swore you'd never betray me
00:20:13And now
00:20:15On our daughter's birthday
00:20:17You waltz in with your mistress
00:20:19And your bastard child
00:20:22Rose, I know you hate me
00:20:24But please
00:20:25Don't take it out on my daughter
00:20:27She's just a child
00:20:28I'm filing for a divorce
00:20:29I'm marrying Victoria
00:20:36Mommy
00:20:43Iris, Ryan, you made it
00:20:45Come on, we're about to cut the cake
00:20:54Mads, this party's like a billionaire safari
00:20:57And everyone is hunting you
00:20:58But aren't you, like, engaged to that Archibald heir down in Florida?
00:21:02That's totally over
00:21:04I don't do long-term comas
00:21:06Good call
00:21:07The Archibalds might run Washington and What Street
00:21:10But that heir's basically a house plant
00:21:12Marrying him is like skipping straight into widowhood
00:21:15Exactly
00:21:15Better pick someone from tonight's crowd
00:21:17There are billionaires here who can actually blink
00:21:20So, Mads, what's your type?
00:21:22My type?
00:21:24Mm-hmm
00:21:24First, he has to be obsessed with me
00:21:27I want a guy who'd carve my name into his chest just to prove it
00:21:31And he has to swim the darkest parts of the Atlantic to find me the perfect pearl
00:21:36And Vanderbilt is here with his birthday gift for Miss Madison Carter
00:21:42Happy birthday, Miss Madison
00:21:51A pink diamond necklace
00:21:53Emerald drop earrings
00:21:58And an original Andy Warhol
00:22:01Oh my God, that's authentic pink diamond
00:22:04Worth tens of millions
00:22:06And those emeralds
00:22:08Definitely from one of the old Italian jewelry houses
00:22:10Totally museum level
00:22:12Warhol
00:22:13That's a real Warhol
00:22:15Haven't seen one hit auction in years
00:22:18All this?
00:22:19From Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:22:21That's not gifting
00:22:22That's a public love confession
00:22:24Please thank Mr. Vanderbilt for me
00:22:26Mr. Vanderbilt said you never need to thank him
00:22:30Ever
00:22:35Oh my God
00:22:36Such extravagant gifts
00:22:39It's obvious he adores her
00:22:40Exactly
00:22:41Once the party's over
00:22:43I'll take Madison to thank him in person
00:22:45No need, Mr. Carter
00:22:47We're practically family already
00:22:50Family?
00:22:51Did he just say family?
00:22:53That sounds like an engagement to me
00:22:54Madison is living every girl's dream
00:22:56Everyone loves her
00:22:59Poor Iris
00:23:00She might as well be invisible
00:23:14Out here all by yourself?
00:23:17You look so lonely
00:23:18What's wrong?
00:23:20Daddy's not around to watch your halo glow?
00:23:22Daddy already told me
00:23:24You're actually marrying that human Defandipadal?
00:23:27How poetic
00:23:28Your mom lost to mine
00:23:30And now you're losing to me
00:23:31The loser genes runs in the family
00:23:33Say that again?
00:23:35I said
00:23:35Your worthless mother deserved to die in childbirth
00:23:39To die in childbirth
00:23:45Iris! No! Don't!
00:23:48Ah!
00:24:12You okay?
00:24:13Don't blame Iris
00:24:15It's my fault
00:24:17I shouldn't have upset her
00:24:25Sweetheart
00:24:26Are you hurt?
00:24:27I'm fine
00:24:28If hurting me makes Iris feel better
00:24:32I don't mind it
00:24:35Iris
00:24:36Is this how I raised you?
00:24:38She's your sister
00:24:39Not your punching bag
00:24:41God, what a heartless bitch
00:24:43It's Madison's birthday for Christ's sake
00:24:47Jealousy really looks ugly on her
00:24:50Funny thing is
00:24:52I didn't push her
00:24:56But since everyone already decided I did
00:25:07I'll prove you right
00:25:25I can't believe I raised something this vile
00:25:33Iris
00:25:35What?
00:25:37Gonna avenge your little princess again?
00:25:40What the hell does that mean?
00:25:43Does she know?
00:25:44No way
00:25:45I covered my tracks
00:25:46You already have it all, Iris
00:25:49Why keep picking on Madison?
00:25:52Have it all?
00:25:53I have nothing
00:25:56The day she showed up
00:25:57The day she showed up
00:25:57My mom went into obstructed labor and died
00:26:00Then she took everything from me
00:26:02My room, my jewelry, my father, my life
00:26:05She used to light fires just to watch me scream
00:26:07Knowing how much I'm afraid of it
00:26:09That's impossible
00:26:11Madison's the one who's afraid of fire
00:26:15Also
00:26:17I heard Maddie's the one
00:26:18Who's having a hard time in this house
00:26:23Believe whatever you want
00:26:26Miss Iris
00:26:28I would like to take a few days off
00:26:31Do whatever you want
00:26:40I want a guy who'd tattoo my name into his chest
00:26:51And the pearl
00:26:54She wants the pearl from Atlantic reefs
00:27:01Bleeding, half delirious
00:27:03And already running off
00:27:04To make her dreams come true
00:27:07You'd really die for her
00:27:12Mom
00:27:13I brought your favorite roses
00:27:21And some good news
00:27:23I'm getting married
00:27:26To Colonel Archibald
00:27:28Although he's Comodos
00:27:29At least he'll never cheat
00:27:32And that bodyguard I told you about
00:27:34I'm done with him
00:27:36I'll leave for Florida tomorrow
00:27:38And hand him over to Madison
00:27:39This time
00:27:40I'm not looking back
00:27:42You can rest easy, Mom
00:27:44I learned your lesson
00:27:46Love isn't worth dying for
00:27:48From now on
00:27:49I'm done breaking for anyone
00:27:52I live for me
00:28:11Miss Iris
00:28:12I got into a car accident
00:28:14On the way here
00:28:16I'll need a few more days off
00:28:18Car accident?
00:28:20No
00:28:22You actually dove into the reefs
00:28:25For Madison's stupid pearl
00:28:26And nearly killed yourself?
00:28:31Do whatever you want
00:28:32Thank you
00:28:35For understanding
00:28:39Ryan
00:28:41After today
00:28:42We'll never see each other again
00:28:59Evening, sir
00:29:01Which suite is Miss Iris in?
00:29:07Second floor
00:29:09The VIP room is just down the hall
00:29:11Thanks
00:29:16To bad decisions
00:29:18And men who can't afford us
00:29:28So, that white pearl
00:29:30Is it really that rare?
00:29:34It's from one of the deadliest reefs
00:29:36In the Atlantic
00:29:36Even pro divers
00:29:38Wouldn't go near it
00:29:40And Ryan really risked his life
00:29:42To get it?
00:29:43That's insane
00:29:45Didn't he tattoo your name
00:29:46On his chest
00:29:47Right after the party?
00:29:48If he brings you that pearl too
00:29:49He's base, base, base
00:29:51Of your fiancé
00:29:54Fiancé?
00:29:54Please
00:29:55He's a friggin' bodyguard
00:29:56A minion
00:29:58Anyway
00:29:58Vanderbilt's in my orbit now
00:29:59He's the one who matters
00:30:00Heir to the richest family
00:30:02In America
00:30:02Ryan's just
00:30:03Nice to look at
00:30:04I might keep him around
00:30:05In case I'm bored
00:30:06What if he finds out?
00:30:07What's a little minion gonna do?
00:30:09He's worships me
00:30:10A few tears
00:30:11And he'll just crawl right back
00:30:23Jesus!
00:30:24Ever heard of knocking?
00:30:25You fucking idiot!
00:30:26Do you know who I am?
00:30:28I'm so sorry, Miss Madison
00:30:30Truly
00:30:30It's just
00:30:32There's a gentleman downstairs
00:30:33Asking for you
00:30:34He said it was urgent
00:30:40Sir
00:30:40My mistake
00:30:42It's this one
00:30:45Seriously?
00:30:46These
00:30:48Goddamn lowlifes
00:30:49Have no manners
00:30:56Ryan?
00:30:57Oh my gosh
00:30:57When'd you get here?
00:30:58I just got scared back there
00:30:59It's fine
00:31:02You can go
00:31:02Yes, sir
00:31:03Of course
00:31:06Am I interrupting?
00:31:08Of course not
00:31:15This is for you
00:31:22Oh my god
00:31:24The white pearl?
00:31:29Ryan
00:31:30I can't believe it
00:31:32You're so good to me
00:31:40Miss Iris
00:31:41What's all this?
00:31:51Packing up
00:31:52I'm moving out
00:31:54Okay
00:31:55Let me help
00:32:00I've got something else
00:32:01For you to do
00:32:06What's that?
00:32:08Go down to that fancy
00:32:09Desserts uptown
00:32:10Get a strawberry cheesecake
00:32:12And deliver it to Madison
00:32:18Cheesecake?
00:32:19Why?
00:32:21You'll find out
00:32:21When you get there
00:32:23All right
00:32:24Oh
00:32:25Remember to send me
00:32:26Your new address
00:32:28I'll be there later
00:32:31As your bodyguard
00:32:33It's my duty
00:32:34To always keep you safe
00:32:45Goodbye, Ryan
00:32:50Did you say something?
00:32:52Nothing
00:32:52Go on
00:32:54What?
00:33:02What?
00:33:06What?
00:33:09What?
00:33:11What?
00:33:14What?
00:33:15What?
00:33:16What?
00:33:19I'm coming
00:33:20What?
00:33:21You'll find
00:33:21This way
00:33:21Answer
00:33:21Stay
00:33:21Says
00:33:21Joe
00:33:21What?
00:33:21What?
00:33:21What?
00:33:22What?
00:33:23Vadina
00:33:23What?
00:33:24Why?
00:33:32What the hell? Is the injury acting up?
00:33:37Nah, I'm just too damn excited to see Madison.
00:33:44You gave Iris $10 billion?
00:33:49Daddy, have you completely lost it?
00:33:51I didn't have a choice.
00:33:57The Archibalds are too powerful. I can't just call off the engagement.
00:34:02If I don't pay Iris, you'd be the one marrying into that family. You want that?
00:34:08God, no! I'm not marrying some half-dead vegetable.
00:34:14Especially not when Mr. Vanderbilt is chasing after me.
00:34:18He's everything I want in a husband.
00:34:26Ryan! Is this for me?
00:34:30Burnt cheesecake from Lavina! This is my favorite! You remembered!
00:34:42Mmm, it's perfect. You always know how to make me smile, Ryan.
00:34:47I should be happy seeing her like this, but why does it hurt worse than before?
00:34:53Like something inside me is breaking.
00:34:59I'm glad you like it.
00:35:02I should go. Miss Iris is waiting.
00:35:05Iris is gone.
00:35:08She gave you to me.
00:35:10She gave? What's that supposed to mean?
00:35:14She's marrying the Archibald heir. Yes, the vegetable one.
00:35:17She already left for Florida this morning. You don't have to protect her anymore.
00:35:22From now on, you're my bodyguard.
00:35:26What? She's marrying Liam Archibald?!
00:35:33Ryan, you're hurting me.
00:35:38What's with you? Why do you care Iris is getting married?
00:35:44The Archibalds rival the Vandermotov is unfortunate.
00:35:50Liam is a decorated officer.
00:35:53Iris is marrying into power, not tragedy.
00:35:58What's there to worry about?
00:36:07I guess Iris really did luck out.
00:36:09She wasn't moving out. She was leaving. Getting married. To Liam Archibald.
00:36:17I don't believe it.
00:36:19She was always so proud. So radiant. She'll never marry for money. Especially to... to a man
00:36:27who can't even open his eyes.
00:36:32What's the matter? Don't you want to protect me?
00:36:39Of course I want to. It'll be my honor.
00:36:43Yay! I'm so happy! Come shopping with me! I'm in the mood for something new. Maybe diamonds?
00:36:49Isn't this what I wanted? To protect her. For real. Not from the shadows. Not under Iris' name.
00:37:00They're always looking good.
00:37:01Iris made Maddie cry. Maybe it's better this way. No one will hurt Maddie anymore.
00:37:12Ryan, I can't believe you bought me all this. You're spoiling me.
00:37:19Anything to make you happy?
00:37:24When you were Iris' bodyguard, were you this nice to her, too?
00:37:29No.
00:37:31Only you.
00:37:33You're the best, Rye.
00:37:40Come with me tonight. My friend's throwing a bonfire party.
00:37:43I thought you were terrified of fire.
00:37:47I...
00:37:54Maddie!
00:38:08Ryan! Ryan, stay with me!
00:38:18Oh my god! You're awake! You scared the hell out of me!
00:38:23Hey.
00:38:23Are you okay? Does anything hurt?
00:38:26I'm fine. As long as you're okay.
00:38:28You're unbelievable. You've always took care of me. Even when you were supposed to be Iris' bodyguard. The last time
00:38:37I got sick, you stood in the freezing rain all night just to get my favorite cream puffs.
00:38:46And for my birthday, you risked your life diving for that damn pearl.
00:38:52Why, Ryan? Why do you keep doing this for me?
00:38:57Because I... Why can't I say it? I carved her name into my skin. I bled for her. I almost
00:39:07died for her. So why can't I just say, I love her?
00:39:18Ryan?
00:39:19Ryan?
00:39:20Maddie.
00:39:22There's something I need to tell you, properly.
00:39:25Can you meet me in three days?
00:39:27What is it?
00:39:30You'll find out then.
00:39:39Ryan, I gotta run. We'll talk later, okay?
00:39:42Maddie!
00:39:45Maddie, wait!
00:39:54God, am I actually missing Iris?
00:40:07God, why won't it stop bleeding?
00:40:12Those men were after me.
00:40:14Who told you to take the hit?
00:40:16Who allowed you to do that?
00:40:27Try it. I made it myself.
00:40:32You shouldn't be doing this. I'm supposed to be working for you.
00:40:35You saved my life.
00:40:38That's my job.
00:40:40Shut it.
00:40:43You listen carefully.
00:40:45You may be my bodyguard, but your life matters.
00:40:51Iris is getting married.
00:40:53Focus, man.
00:40:55You're into Maddie.
00:40:58Stop thinking about her.
00:41:02Ryan?
00:41:03Holy shit.
00:41:04You actually called.
00:41:05I was starting to think bros didn't come before hoes after all.
00:41:08Cut the jokes, man.
00:41:10Listen, I need the rainbow room for tomorrow night.
00:41:13I'm telling Maddie how I feel.
00:41:15The rainbow room?
00:41:16You realize that setup costs more than a townhouse, right?
00:41:19Plus, it's booked solid through Fashion Week.
00:41:22Then pull the strings.
00:41:23I don't care how much it costs.
00:41:24I want the best diner, most lavish gifts that money can buy.
00:41:27I want fireworks spelling her name over Fifth Avenue.
00:41:30Invite everyone in the city who matters.
00:41:33Dude, you're just telling her how you feel?
00:41:35Not planning a royal wedding?
00:41:37Besides, do you even see in Madison?
00:41:40I really don't get it.
00:41:57Stay with me.
00:41:58I'm getting you out.
00:42:09Help!
00:42:26Did you find her?
00:42:28I spoke to the priest at the church.
00:42:30The girl who saved you is Richard Carter's daughter.
00:42:34Apparently, she goes to your school.
00:42:36Because she's good.
00:42:38Real.
00:42:39The kind of good this world doesn't deserve.
00:42:42Just make sure everything's perfect.
00:42:48Tomorrow, Madison says yes.
00:42:53Can you believe it?
00:42:55Vanderbilt booked the entire floor just to tell Madison he likes her.
00:42:58There's a firework show, too.
00:43:00Supposed to spell her name over Fifth Avenue.
00:43:01Lucky Beach.
00:43:02God.
00:43:03Why did this kind of guy never go for me?
00:43:05Everything's just how you wanted it.
00:43:06Happy?
00:43:06It's fine.
00:43:11Sir, it's time.
00:43:12Should I cue the band and fireworks?
00:43:15She's not here yet.
00:43:16Give it some more time.
00:43:18Yes, sir.
00:43:22It's been four hours.
00:43:24Where the hell is Maddie?
00:43:26Hate to say it, man, but you might have been stood up.
00:43:29She wouldn't just disappear unless something happened.
00:43:32Find where she is.
00:43:34Now.
00:43:45Sir, Miss Carter's fine.
00:43:48She's been out shopping with her friends all day,
00:43:50and she's at a bridal boutique right now,
00:43:52trying on wedding dresses.
00:43:54What?
00:43:56She's trying on wedding dresses?
00:43:58You haven't proposed yet?
00:43:59Please tell me she's not marrying someone else.
00:44:02The boutique.
00:44:04Now.
00:44:09I called ahead.
00:44:10The manager's coming down personally.
00:44:18I'm sorry, gentlemen.
00:44:19The store's closed for a private fitting.
00:44:21No walk-ins.
00:44:22I'm looking for Madison Carter.
00:44:23Oh.
00:44:24You're here for Miss Carter.
00:44:25Unfortunately, she explicitly asked not to be disturbed.
00:44:28You'll have to leave.
00:44:30Move.
00:44:30Oh, sweetheart, no.
00:44:33This is an exclusive atelier, not a department store.
00:44:36We cater to a certain caliber of clientele.
00:44:41I suggest you leave before security gets involved.
00:44:46Here's not your banner, Ryan.
00:44:48Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
00:44:51This is Mr. Vanderbilt!
00:44:55Sir, please accept my deepest apologies.
00:44:58Allow me to take you to Miss Carter myself.
00:45:12You're really not going to see the bodyguard?
00:45:14He's been waiting all day.
00:45:16Please.
00:45:17I'd have to lose my mind to show up.
00:45:20I know exactly what he's planning.
00:45:21Probably some dramatic love conflession.
00:45:24A bodyguard thinking he's boyfriend material.
00:45:27Cute.
00:45:28We honestly thought you dragged us here to pick a dress for him.
00:45:31Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:45:33I'm preparing to be Mrs. Vanderbilt.
00:45:37Ryan?
00:45:38He's barely qualified to steam the gown.
00:45:44He really treats you well, though.
00:45:46The guy literally threw himself in front of a car for you.
00:45:52Dove into the ocean.
00:45:53Carved your name into his chest.
00:45:55And you feel nothing?
00:45:57And you said he invited you to the Rainbow Room?
00:46:00That's not exactly cheap.
00:46:02The man's clearly serious.
00:46:04The Rainbow Room's gorgeous, sure.
00:46:07But on his salary, he's lucky to get a table near the kitchen.
00:46:11I'm not in the mood to embarrass myself.
00:46:13Then why not just tell him no?
00:46:15It feels cruel to ring him along like this.
00:46:18Because, sweetie, every queen needs a guard dog.
00:46:22He's hot, protective, and hopelessly devoted.
00:46:30And the best part?
00:46:31Iris is in love with him.
00:46:36Just picturing her little heart breaking every time he chooses me.
00:46:41God.
00:46:42It's intoxicating.
00:46:45You really hate her that much?
00:46:46Oh, hate doesn't begin to cover it.
00:46:49Because of her and her sanctimonious beach of a mother,
00:46:52I was called a bastard for years!
00:46:59I'm telling you,
00:47:00the only tragedy about that church fire three years ago
00:47:03is that she survived it.
00:47:07Three years ago?
00:47:08Church?
00:47:09Fire?
00:47:10Wait, are you seriously saying you started that fire?
00:47:13Of course it was me.
00:47:15My father was supposed to take me to that church that day,
00:47:18but I faked a stomachache and he took Iris instead.
00:47:21Then, I got someone to light the match.
00:47:23You could have killed your father.
00:47:25So, if he died,
00:47:27all the Carter money would have gone straight to me.
00:47:30Win-win.
00:47:31But that's not what really bothers me.
00:47:33What really sucks is...
00:47:37That bitch crawled her ass out alive.
00:47:40You know what the funny thing is?
00:47:43Didn't you say she ended up with a bad case of PTSD from that fire?
00:47:47That counts as revenge.
00:47:50Funny thing is,
00:47:51she was already out before the fire got out of control.
00:47:57But St. Iris had to run back and play hero.
00:48:00She deserved so much worse than a stupid phobia.
00:48:03But I thought you were the one with the phobia.
00:48:05Everyone says so.
00:48:06Oh, that story?
00:48:08See, I waved a lighter at Iris once,
00:48:10and the drama queen lost her damn mind,
00:48:12screaming like she was on fire.
00:48:13Dad and half the house came running,
00:48:15so I flipped it.
00:48:16A few tears,
00:48:17and I'm the poor baby sister being bullied.
00:48:20That shit up.
00:48:22They love a victim.
00:48:24All you have to do is look sad and cry pretty.
00:48:28All this time,
00:48:30I was so wrong.
00:48:32The girl who saved me was Iris.
00:48:35God!
00:48:37What the hell have I done?
00:48:42Who's out there?
00:48:45Sir.
00:48:50Do not tell her I was here.
00:48:52Understood?
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:54Really.
00:48:58Sir, why don't we just go in?
00:48:59Didn't you hear what she said?
00:49:00Iris was the one who saved you,
00:49:01and Madison...
00:49:01I heard.
00:49:02No.
00:49:03Exposing her now makes it too easy.
00:49:06I want her to pay properly.
00:49:10Organize a charity reception in my name
00:49:11at the Glass House this weekend.
00:49:13Invite every notable family in the city.
00:49:16Make sure Richard and Madison show up.
00:49:18Tell them I'm announcing something big.
00:49:23Yes, sir.
00:49:37Why?
00:49:39Why didn't I see this sooner?
00:49:42My God, I'm such a buster asshole.
00:49:45How can I put you go through all this?
00:49:50Iris,
00:49:51just wait for me.
00:49:56I'm going to make sure everyone who's hurt you
00:49:59gets what's coming to them.
00:50:02Every single one.
00:50:17God, this is huge.
00:50:19Only the son of America's richest man
00:50:21can throw something like this.
00:50:22You're telling me.
00:50:24He literally bought out an entire auction for Maddie,
00:50:27then topped it off with a birthday gift worth,
00:50:28a penthouse.
00:50:32Mr. Carter,
00:50:33great to see you again.
00:50:34I'm the CEO of Sterling Corp.
00:50:36You came over a while back
00:50:37to top a possible partnership, remember?
00:50:39Oh, I remember.
00:50:40Your security wouldn't let me through the door.
00:50:43Right.
00:50:45That was a mix-up on my end.
00:50:47My apologies.
00:50:47Actually, I've got the contract with me tonight.
00:50:50One signature,
00:50:51and we can get things moving immediately.
00:50:55Rumor has it, Mr. Vanderbilt's taking quite an interest in your daughter.
00:50:58Word around the room is,
00:50:59maybe a proposal's in the cards tonight,
00:51:00a merger of the two families?
00:51:09You're very well-informed.
00:51:12Don't worry.
00:51:13Once Maddie marries into the Vanderbilt family,
00:51:16I'll make sure to put in a good word for you.
00:51:19That would be incredible, Mr. Carter.
00:51:22Thank you so much.
00:51:28A low-born upstart trying to play in the big langs.
00:51:33Without Vanderbilt,
00:51:34he's just a joke in a suit.
00:51:36Wouldn't even make it past my lobby.
00:51:40Ladies and gentlemen,
00:51:42Mr. Vanderbilt has arrived.
00:52:01Ryan.
00:52:02What, you're Vanderbilt?
00:52:04Wait, isn't he Maddie's bodyguard?
00:52:07Oh my god.
00:52:09A billionaire?
00:52:11Posing as a bodyguard for love?
00:52:13I've only seen this in soup operas!
00:52:18So the guy who's been protecting me all this time
00:52:21is Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:52:24No wonder he bought out the entire auction
00:52:26and showered me with those absurdly expensive gifts.
00:52:31You have always spoiled me, Ryan.
00:52:35I can't believe it's him.
00:52:37The heir to the Vanderbilt Empire
00:52:39is completely obsessed with me.
00:52:42I've officially won the game.
00:52:45Rye!
00:52:46Mr. Vanderbilt.
00:52:48Forgive me, I must be losing my touch.
00:52:50How could I have missed it?
00:52:51You wear that name so well.
00:52:53My sincerest apologies for treating you like staff.
00:52:58If only I had known...
00:53:00Thank you all for joining me tonight.
00:53:02Before we get started,
00:53:03I have something important to announce.
00:53:05As many of you know,
00:53:07I've recently taken quite a special interest
00:53:10in Miss Carter.
00:53:13And the reason for that
00:53:14is simple.
00:53:17I'm helping my uncle find a wife.
00:53:21Uncle?
00:53:23Ryan?
00:53:23What are you talking about?
00:53:32Ryan, you've got excellent taste.
00:53:35She's even more charming than I expected.
00:53:37Allow me to introduce my uncle, David Black.
00:53:40He's been widowed for many years
00:53:42and has been searching for a kind, caring wife.
00:53:45No.
00:53:47No.
00:53:47This can't be.
00:53:51Ryan,
00:53:52you're joking, right?
00:53:54He's...
00:53:55He's old enough to be my grandfather.
00:53:58Just who do you think you are
00:54:00to touch Mr. Vanderbilt?
00:54:04Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:54:05surely there's been some misunderstanding?
00:54:08There's no misunderstanding.
00:54:09My uncle is very satisfied with your daughter.
00:54:12Once she agrees to the marriage,
00:54:13our families can develop
00:54:14a long-term partnership.
00:54:18A partnership, huh?
00:54:22Daddy!
00:54:22You can't be serious!
00:54:24You are going to make me marry
00:54:25this...
00:54:26this gross old man?
00:54:27Enough!
00:54:28That's your fiancée!
00:54:37Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:54:39consider it settled.
00:54:41We're ready to go
00:54:42to the registry office anytime.
00:54:47Sounds perfect.
00:54:59This isn't how it was supposed to be!
00:55:01It's not supposed to be like this!
00:55:04Ryan!
00:55:05You said you wanted me!
00:55:06Why are you doing this to me?
00:55:08The girl I wanted
00:55:10was the one who saved me
00:55:11in that church fire
00:55:12three years ago.
00:55:13Not you.
00:55:15What...
00:55:16What are you talking about?
00:55:19I was wrong.
00:55:20I thought you were her,
00:55:22but the one who actually saved me
00:55:23was Iris.
00:55:30So you can go ahead
00:55:31and marry my uncle.
00:55:33You'll be the perfect wife.
00:55:35Take my uncle and Miss Carter
00:55:36to the registry office.
00:55:38Now!
00:55:39No!
00:55:40Let go of me!
00:55:41I don't want this!
00:55:42Ryan!
00:55:43Please!
00:55:44Don't do this!
00:55:51Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:55:53now that the marriage is settled,
00:55:54we can focus on our families
00:55:56working together.
00:55:57Not yet.
00:55:58I have one more thing to announce.
00:56:00Yes, yes, of course.
00:56:01Please.
00:56:02Go ahead.
00:56:06From this moment on,
00:56:08I, Ryan Vanderbilt,
00:56:09is cutting off the Carter Group.
00:56:11Any company that partners with them
00:56:13will find themselves
00:56:15in direct opposition
00:56:17to me.
00:56:26No, no, wait.
00:56:27Mr. Vanderbilt,
00:56:28didn't you just say
00:56:28we'd be entering
00:56:29a long-term partnership?
00:56:31You actually believe that?
00:56:37Sir,
00:56:38just got word from the headquarters.
00:56:40Our accounts have been frozen.
00:56:42The bank.
00:56:43Carter Group is officially...
00:56:52Iris,
00:56:54I've made sure
00:56:54everyone who's hurt you
00:56:55is paid.
00:56:57Just hang on.
00:56:58I'm coming for you.
00:57:04Book the earliest flight to Florida.
00:57:06Yes, sir.
00:57:10Sir,
00:57:11news just came in.
00:57:12Miss Carter's wedding
00:57:13is set for
00:57:14today.
00:57:15Wedding?
00:57:17Isn't Liam Archibald
00:57:18a vegetable?
00:57:19He woke up
00:57:20the day Miss Carter
00:57:21arrived in Florida.
00:57:32Is this the man
00:57:33I meant to marry?
00:57:35It's a shame.
00:57:36The hero who once
00:57:38led armies
00:57:38and made headlines,
00:57:40now trapped in this bed.
00:57:42But I've chosen
00:57:43this marriage.
00:57:44For rich and for poor,
00:57:45in sickness and in health.
00:57:47I'll stand by you.
00:57:49I swear it.
00:57:51Why am I even
00:57:52saying all this?
00:57:53Not like you can
00:57:54actually hear me.
00:57:56Well, at least
00:57:57if I mess up
00:57:57or say the wrong thing,
00:57:59you won't be able
00:57:59to yell at me.
00:58:02You're stuck with me now.
00:58:03No complaints.
00:58:11Oh my god.
00:58:13Liam,
00:58:14do you remember us?
00:58:16Mom.
00:58:17Oh!
00:58:18God.
00:58:20Lucky.
00:58:24Welcome back, son.
00:58:26We've been waiting
00:58:27a long time
00:58:28for this moment.
00:58:29Liam's awake soon.
00:58:30He'll return to his world.
00:58:32Medals,
00:58:33applause,
00:58:34and glory.
00:58:35But me?
00:58:38Maybe the Archibald family
00:58:39will tear up the engagement.
00:58:41After all,
00:58:42I wasn't even the one
00:58:43he agreed to marry.
00:58:45Iris,
00:58:46thank you.
00:58:47it was you
00:58:48who brought Liam back.
00:58:53Me?
00:58:56Mrs. Archibald,
00:58:57you really don't need
00:58:57to thank me.
00:58:58Liam recovered
00:58:59all by himself.
00:59:00No, Iris.
00:59:01I know Liam's condition
00:59:02better than anyone.
00:59:03He fought hard to wake up
00:59:06because of you.
00:59:12Mom, you make me sound
00:59:13like I'm made of glass.
00:59:14You are,
00:59:15until the doctor
00:59:16says otherwise.
00:59:17And,
00:59:18don't you dare
00:59:19talk back to your mother
00:59:21right
00:59:22now!
00:59:24All right, ma'am,
00:59:25you win.
00:59:27Mom,
00:59:28could I have a moment
00:59:29alone with my fiancé?
00:59:31If he gives you
00:59:32any trouble,
00:59:32just yell.
00:59:33I'll come in swinging.
00:59:35I will.
00:59:38Good luck, son!
00:59:48This engagement
00:59:49between the Archibald
00:59:49and Carter families
00:59:50was arranged
00:59:51by our parents.
00:59:52I know you didn't
00:59:53agree to marry me.
00:59:56Since you're awake now,
00:59:58we can cancel it
01:00:00if you want.
01:00:03No.
01:00:05The engagement
01:00:05stays.
01:00:10You really don't know
01:00:11why I agreed
01:00:12to this marriage?
01:00:14I agreed to it
01:00:15not for the Carter name,
01:00:16but because of
01:00:17your mother, Rose.
01:00:19My mother?
01:00:20Your mother and mine
01:00:21grew up together.
01:00:22They were like sisters.
01:00:23They promised each other
01:00:24that if they ever had
01:00:25a son and a daughter,
01:00:26we'd marry.
01:00:27After Rose passed,
01:00:28we tried to get you
01:00:29out of the Carter house,
01:00:30but your father refused
01:00:32until I became
01:00:33a colonel.
01:00:34Suddenly,
01:00:34the marriage was
01:00:35back on the table.
01:00:35I finally had a chance
01:00:36to take you away.
01:00:38I would have never
01:00:38married your sister,
01:00:39Iris.
01:00:41The woman I want
01:00:42to marry
01:00:43is you.
01:00:46I've been out
01:00:47for a while.
01:00:47The world has changed.
01:00:49But I swear to you,
01:00:50I'll protect you
01:00:51for the rest of my life.
01:00:52I believe you.
01:00:54From now on,
01:00:55whatever the Archibald
01:00:55family has,
01:00:56it's yours too.
01:00:57Anything you want,
01:00:58just say the word
01:00:58and it's yours.
01:01:03We barely knew
01:01:04each other
01:01:05before all this,
01:01:06but now we can
01:01:07figure it out together.
01:01:09Give me a chance
01:01:09to win your heart.
01:01:14Okay.
01:01:33It's okay.
01:01:34I'm here.
01:01:39Emily!
01:01:40Yes, sir?
01:01:41I told you not
01:01:42to use the fireplace.
01:01:44I'm so sorry,
01:01:45Mr. Archibald.
01:01:45I forgot I'll take care
01:01:46of it right away.
01:01:47Don't let it happen again.
01:01:50How did you know
01:01:51I was afraid of fire?
01:01:53I know everything
01:01:54about you, Iris.
01:02:02What do you think?
01:02:11Your arm!
01:02:13I'm fine.
01:02:16Are you okay?
01:02:23Your arm,
01:02:24it really doesn't hurt?
01:02:26It's just a scratch.
01:02:31Is that a ring?
01:02:32But your family
01:02:33sent me one already.
01:02:34Open it.
01:02:39This is yours.
01:02:43Iris,
01:02:43I swore an oath
01:02:44to my country.
01:02:45This medal
01:02:46carries that promise.
01:02:48My honor
01:02:48and my pride.
01:02:50Now,
01:02:51I'm giving it to you.
01:02:56From this day forward,
01:02:58every honor
01:02:59that bears my name
01:03:00will be
01:03:01yours too.
01:03:05Will you stand
01:03:06beside me
01:03:07for life?
01:03:30Oh my God,
01:03:31the bride is gorgeous.
01:03:34They say she's the reason
01:03:36Colonel Archibald
01:03:37miraculously recovered.
01:03:39She must be
01:03:40his good luck charm.
01:03:41From the moment
01:03:42I came into
01:03:42the Archibald family,
01:03:43they've been
01:03:44nothing but kind.
01:03:45No arrogance
01:03:46or judgment.
01:03:48Even the guests
01:03:48are gracious.
01:03:50Not one person
01:03:51has brought up
01:03:51the Carters.
01:03:53He really is
01:03:54keeping me safe.
01:04:02Dearly beloved,
01:04:03we are gathered here
01:04:04to witness the union
01:04:05of Colonel Liam Archibald
01:04:07and Miss Iris Carter.
01:04:10Liam,
01:04:11do you take Iris
01:04:12to be your wife,
01:04:13to have and to hold
01:04:15in sickness
01:04:15and in health?
01:04:17I do.
01:04:18And Iris,
01:04:20do you take Liam
01:04:21to be your husband,
01:04:22for better or worse,
01:04:23for as long
01:04:24as you both shall live?
01:04:25I do.
01:04:27If anyone here
01:04:28objects to this union,
01:04:30speak now
01:04:31or forever
01:04:32hold your peace.
01:04:33Very well.
01:04:35By the power
01:04:36vested in me,
01:04:37I now pronounce...
01:04:41I object!
01:04:43I object!
01:04:53Please don't marry him,
01:04:55Iris.
01:04:59Iris.
01:05:00Isn't that the
01:05:00Vanderbilt heir?
01:05:01I hear his family
01:05:02owns half of New York.
01:05:03He just crashed
01:05:04the wedding.
01:05:05Is he here
01:05:05to fight for the bride?
01:05:08A billionaire
01:05:09love confession
01:05:09at a colonel's ceremony?
01:05:10That's one hell
01:05:11of a headline.
01:05:13Ryan,
01:05:14what is he doing here?
01:05:18Iris, please.
01:05:20Don't marry him.
01:05:23What the hell
01:05:24are you doing here?
01:05:25Shouldn't you be
01:05:26with your precious Madison?
01:05:28Iris,
01:05:29it was never Madison.
01:05:31It was you.
01:05:33You're the one
01:05:34who saved me
01:05:34from that fire
01:05:35three years ago.
01:05:37You're the one
01:05:37I've been looking for
01:05:38all along.
01:05:39And I was too blind
01:05:41to see it.
01:05:48The fire was everywhere.
01:05:49I couldn't see a thing.
01:05:50That boy.
01:05:51It was Ryan.
01:05:52From that moment,
01:05:53I fell for you.
01:05:55I was an idiot.
01:05:56I got it wrong.
01:05:57I mistook Madison
01:05:59for you.
01:06:02But now I know
01:06:03the truth.
01:06:04Madison's been
01:06:04feeding me lies.
01:06:06You're the one
01:06:07who suffered
01:06:07in the Carter House.
01:06:08You're the one
01:06:09who's terrified of fire.
01:06:12And because of what
01:06:13she and her mother did,
01:06:16your mother died.
01:06:19Iris,
01:06:20I'm sorry.
01:06:21I'm so sorry.
01:06:26So what, Ryan?
01:06:28You think an apology
01:06:29erases everything
01:06:30I've lived through?
01:06:35Iris,
01:06:36I was wrong.
01:06:37I swear
01:06:39I'll spend the rest
01:06:40of my life
01:06:41making this right.
01:06:42Make it right?
01:06:45Have you forgotten
01:06:46what you did
01:06:46for Madison
01:06:47at my expense?
01:06:48You bought out
01:06:49an entire auction
01:06:50just to stroke her ego.
01:06:51She says one word
01:06:52and you're already
01:06:53diving for pearls,
01:06:54carving her name
01:06:55into your skin.
01:06:56You protected her
01:06:57while you let me bleed.
01:06:59And when I accidentally
01:07:00splashed her,
01:07:00you locked me in a freezer
01:07:01and nearly froze me to death.
01:07:03I'm sorry.
01:07:05I swear I'm sorry.
01:07:08Please, Iris,
01:07:09just give me another chance.
01:07:14Don't touch me.
01:07:16I've already taken care
01:07:17of everyone at Hutch.
01:07:18Madison and Richard,
01:07:20they've paid.
01:07:22Madison's married
01:07:23to my 80-year-old uncle.
01:07:26Your father's company
01:07:27is ruined.
01:07:28Enough,
01:07:29Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:07:29This is my wedding.
01:07:31Iris is my bride.
01:07:33You just woke up.
01:07:34How much could you
01:07:35possibly feel for her?
01:07:36Hand Iris back to me
01:07:37and I'll make you a deal.
01:07:39From now on,
01:07:40I'll step away
01:07:40from any business.
01:07:42The Archibalds
01:07:43and Vanderbilts
01:07:44would compete over.
01:07:55For all his business?
01:07:57That's astronomical.
01:07:58Even the smallest
01:07:59Vanderbilt deal
01:08:00is worth billions.
01:08:01Archibald has to
01:08:02take that deal.
01:08:03No way he'll give up
01:08:04a prize eye that big
01:08:05for a woman.
01:08:06No.
01:08:07Iris is my wife.
01:08:08Not something to be traded.
01:08:11Now leave.
01:08:13Get out!
01:08:15Iris, come with me.
01:08:17I swear
01:08:18I'll make it right.
01:08:19No.
01:08:20I will not.
01:08:23Please, continue.
01:08:26Continue and see
01:08:27what happens!
01:08:36Sir,
01:08:38everything's ready out there.
01:08:46What the hell
01:08:47are you doing now?
01:08:49I've wired this place
01:08:50with explosives.
01:08:51If you don't leave with me,
01:08:53everyone in this room
01:08:55dies!
01:09:02Have you gone insane?
01:09:04Yes!
01:09:04You're about to
01:09:05marry someone else!
01:09:06Of course I've gone insane!
01:09:10Ryan,
01:09:11what do you want from me?
01:09:14Come with me.
01:09:16Please.
01:09:18That's not happening.
01:09:20That's not happening.
01:09:24Then we die together.
01:09:33Then we die together.
01:09:40You can count us in.
01:09:45Miss Carter,
01:09:46I don't want to die.
01:09:48My daughter is waiting for me to come home.
01:09:51Please, just go back with Mr. Vanderbilt.
01:09:53Please, Miss Carter, just go with him.
01:09:55Please, we don't want to die.
01:10:01Fine.
01:10:02You want me?
01:10:03I'm giving you seven days.
01:10:05After that,
01:10:06I swear I'll kill myself
01:10:07before I spend another day with you.
01:10:11Deal.
01:10:15Iris,
01:10:16don't go with him.
01:10:19Trust me.
01:10:20I'll come back to you in seven days.
01:10:24Wait!
01:10:30There's something important in here.
01:10:33Read it when you can.
01:10:35Read it when you can.
01:10:58If you try to take me back to New York,
01:10:59I'll kill myself right here.
01:11:01All right.
01:11:03You like Florida?
01:11:05We'll stay right here.
01:11:07I just bought a villa in Palm Beach.
01:11:09You'll love it.
01:11:35This room,
01:11:37it's exactly like my mother's
01:11:38before she died.
01:11:39Do you like it?
01:11:41Of course.
01:11:42This is what you do.
01:11:43The gifts,
01:11:44the promises,
01:11:44the drama.
01:11:45I've already seen these tricks on Madison.
01:11:47You were ready to freeze me to death
01:11:49chasing a fantasy you called love.
01:11:52Iris,
01:11:52I'll make it up to you.
01:11:54What's done is done.
01:11:55How can you fix something
01:11:56already broken in the past?
01:12:22You made all this?
01:12:23everything you love.
01:12:26Everything you love.
01:12:30Learned this for Madison,
01:12:31didn't you?
01:12:35Please,
01:12:37let's not talk about her.
01:12:40Oh, I'm going to talk,
01:12:41all right?
01:12:49If I remember right,
01:12:51Madison had a sweet tooth.
01:12:54You used to make desserts for her
01:12:56all the time,
01:12:56didn't you?
01:13:00When you dove into that reef
01:13:02for her pearls,
01:13:03did it ever cross your mind
01:13:04you might die down there?
01:13:10And when she saw her name
01:13:11carved across your chest,
01:13:13did she cry?
01:13:16Did she finally believe
01:13:18you loved her?
01:13:33Iris!
01:13:35Let go!
01:13:48Cut it out.
01:13:50What?
01:13:51You don't like the font?
01:13:54Don't move.
01:14:04There.
01:14:06Do you feel any better?
01:14:11Whatever happens to you
01:14:12has nothing to do with me.
01:14:14Not anymore.
01:14:24Where are you taking me?
01:14:26Let me go!
01:14:43What are you doing?
01:14:54I locked you in a freezer
01:14:55for two hours.
01:14:56I'm paying for what I did.
01:14:58The key is in your hands now.
01:15:00My life is yours to decide.
01:15:01You think this makes things right?
01:15:03Not right.
01:15:04Just...
01:15:05even.
01:15:06I drafted a new will.
01:15:07If I die today,
01:15:08every cent of the Vanderbilt fortune
01:15:09goes to you.
01:15:13You expect me to believe that?
01:15:16It's true, Iris!
01:15:19Every word!
01:15:20Fine.
01:15:21Then go in.
01:15:23I won't feel a thing.
01:15:45I won't feel a thing.
01:15:47So this...
01:15:48This is how cold she felt.
01:15:54It's been two and a half hours,
01:15:55Miss Carter.
01:15:56Please!
01:15:57Open the door!
01:15:58He'll die in there!
01:16:13Sir!
01:16:14Sir!
01:16:15Wake up!
01:16:16Please!
01:16:16Ryan,
01:16:17the cruelest revenge isn't hate,
01:16:19it's indifference.
01:16:20You'd die for me,
01:16:21and I'd let you,
01:16:22because you're the reason
01:16:23I went numb in the first place.
01:16:29Don't go, Iris.
01:16:31I love you.
01:16:32I do.
01:16:46Don't go.
01:16:48Tell me your name.
01:16:50Iris.
01:16:52My name's Iris.
01:16:53Iris.
01:16:54I'll remember.
01:16:56Wait for me.
01:16:57For me.
01:16:59I'll come find you.
01:17:14Ryan.
01:17:16Promise you'll always love me.
01:17:19I promise.
01:17:28Iris.
01:17:29Iris.
01:17:29Iris.
01:17:30Iris.
01:17:30Iris!
01:17:35I know.
01:17:37All right.
01:17:38Bye, babe.
01:17:52What the hell is wrong with you?
01:17:53Now!
01:17:54Who are you talking to?
01:17:58Who else?
01:18:00My husband.
01:18:02Don't call him that!
01:18:04I will always call him that.
01:18:06He's my husband.
01:18:08The man I'm going to spend
01:18:09the rest of my life with.
01:18:12Iris, don't do this to me.
01:18:15I'd rather die than see you with him.
01:18:18Guess this is what I deserve.
01:18:21Tell me.
01:18:23Is it really over between us?
01:18:25Over?
01:18:26Ryan?
01:18:27We never had anything to begin with.
01:18:33Today's the last day of our deal.
01:18:35Finally, I can leave this place.
01:18:43There's something important in here.
01:18:46Read it when you can.
01:18:55What is this?
01:18:58Iris, I saw you for the first time today
01:19:01at the debutante ball.
01:19:02You looked like an angel in that white dress.
01:19:05So beautiful, I forgot to breathe.
01:19:07I watched you from the balcony
01:19:09for the longest time.
01:19:11Then you smiled at me.
01:19:12That's when I knew
01:19:13I was done for.
01:19:16Iris, I heard that bastard daughter
01:19:18has been making trouble for you again.
01:19:20I secretly sent a doctor
01:19:21into the Carter house
01:19:22to take care of you.
01:19:23I wanted so bad to go myself,
01:19:25but I couldn't find a reason.
01:19:28Iris, it's your eighth birthday
01:19:30and your mother's memorial.
01:19:32I waited by the cemetery all day.
01:19:35It broke my heart.
01:19:36To see you crying there alone.
01:19:39I brought your favorite flowers.
01:19:41One day,
01:19:42I'll hand them to you myself.
01:19:47Iris,
01:19:48Richard brought up the engagement again.
01:19:49I know it's a trap.
01:19:51He wants me to marry Madison,
01:19:52but I agreed
01:19:53because it was the only way
01:19:54I could marry you.
01:19:55If you're reading this,
01:19:56it means we're already married.
01:19:58Don't be afraid.
01:19:58It has always been about love.
01:20:00I've been waiting for a day
01:20:01ever since I first saw you at 16.
01:20:04Liam,
01:20:06I'm coming back to you.
01:20:17Where are you going?
01:20:19It's been seven days, Ryan.
01:20:20I'm going home.
01:20:21Home?
01:20:22Yes.
01:20:23Home.
01:20:23Liam's home.
01:20:24And mine.
01:20:25You promised me.
01:20:26Or are you going back on your word?
01:20:27I did promise,
01:20:28but first you have to choose.
01:20:30Liam or me.
01:20:35Why would you even need to ask?
01:20:37Of course I choose.
01:20:38If you choose him,
01:20:39I drink this poison.
01:20:41Right now.
01:20:44You think that's going to scare me?
01:20:46I'll say it one last time.
01:20:48No matter what you do,
01:20:50I still choose Liam.
01:20:54You're sure about that?
01:21:13Sir, sir!
01:21:15Sir, sir, sir, sir.
01:21:22Iris, sir!
01:21:30You may now kiss the bride.
01:21:37Iris,
01:21:38I love you.
01:21:39I love you, too.
01:21:41There's something I need to tell you.
01:21:43The hospital called this morning.
01:21:45They couldn't save him.
01:21:46Ryan's gone.
01:21:47Hey, it's our wedding day.
01:21:49Let's not talk about other people.
01:21:51All right.
01:21:56All right.
01:21:57Goodbye.
01:21:58Goodbye.
01:21:58Goodbye.
01:21:59Goodbye.
01:21:59Goodbye.
01:21:59Goodbye.
01:21:59Goodbye.
01:22:00Goodbye.
01:22:00Goodbye.
01:22:00Goodbye.
01:22:00Goodbye.
01:22:01Goodbye.
01:22:02Goodbye.
01:22:02Goodbye.
01:22:05Goodbye.
