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