Short filmTranscript
00:05Your world's top neurosurge's successor. You've been running Nexus Tech. How much have you been hiding from me?
00:10One more thing. I'm your ex-wife.
00:15I'd been married to Nanshore's richest man for three years, yet we'd never even met.
00:21When he finally came home, I thought maybe this time was different. It wasn't. He wanted a divorce.
00:26So that's him. The man who left the country on our wedding day.
00:30Papers on the dining table. Take a look. If you have any issues, let me know.
00:34Divorce? You ditched me on our wedding day. And the second you're back, you want a divorce?
00:40Mr. Reid, are you sure nothing's wrong with you down there?
00:43Wow. She's got some nerve.
00:46Fine. I'm not looking for your opinion. Just so you know.
00:50He's leaving? I've never seen his face. Fine. It doesn't really matter what he looks like anymore.
00:57Works for me. I'd rather be on my own than stuck with a man like that for the rest of
01:00my life.
01:01Better soon than later.
01:04The Reid estate is yours after the divorce, plus a million in compensation.
01:08That's more than enough to keep you comfortable.
01:11Nope. I don't want it.
01:16Sorry?
01:18The estate is worth over a hundred million. There's the settlement on top of that.
01:22If you keep pushing back, you'll end up with nothing.
01:24That's fine. I've kept track of every cent I spent these years. I'll pay it all back.
01:29We had a prenup, so I walk away with nothing. You won't lose a dime.
01:33After this, we're strangers. I'll be out of the estate by tomorrow morning.
01:37Thank you for these three years, Mr. Reid.
01:42Walk away with nothing? Oh, yeah, sure she is.
01:49Let's go, Sophie. You really signed that?
01:52We all know it was a mistake from the start. Grandma was worried about leaving me behind.
01:56That's why her best friend Lucas' grandmother promised to look after me.
01:59And the rest is how we got here.
02:07Maybe it's for the best.
02:09What now? Back to the hospital?
02:11I already put the word out the moment you decided on the divorce.
02:13You're Alice, top neurosurgeon in the world.
02:16People have been looking for you for three years.
02:20I gave myself three years for Grandma. That's up now. Time to go back.
02:25All arranged at Hargreth. No one there will know you're Alice.
02:28If you need anything, go straight to Dr. Carter. He knows the situation.
02:32Oh, Sophie.
02:34Nobody looks out for me like you do.
02:37Silly girl.
02:38Even though we're both orphans, Grandma took in from the countryside.
02:41But that doesn't make us any less sisters.
02:45Sir, the estate called. Miss Lane's gone.
02:47She left all the jewelry behind.
02:49And the allowance you set up over the years, she never touched any of it.
02:52Got it.
02:58Lucas, we found her!
03:00Alice, the world's best neurosurgeon's successor!
03:06Alice, the world's best neurosurgeon's successor!
03:09Where is she?
03:10Mark Row private hospital. She just joined.
03:14Send me everything you have on her. I'm heading over now.
03:25Sherry, why does that name sound familiar?
03:27Ms. Lane, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. Let me take you up to neurosurgery.
03:32No need to apologize, Dr. Carter.
03:35Dr. Quinn is operating today. Big case.
03:38Thought it'd be a good chance for you to observe.
03:41Observe?
03:42Usually it's the other way around.
03:52Intracranial bleed. She's coding!
03:54Get the defibrillator now. Start recess. Get an ambulance on standby. She may need to be transferred at any moment.
03:59She can't be transferred. She needs a second surgery. Immediately.
04:02Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? Even Dr. Quinn wouldn't try it. Who are you exactly? What
04:07department are you even from?
04:09Everyone stay calm. We follow Dr. Quinn's plan. I'll call in the chief from Central Hospital.
04:14Dr. Carter, there's no time. Let me in. I'm the only one here who can save her.
04:19You know what's on the line if this goes wrong. Are you sure?
04:22A doctor's job is to save lives. I won't just stand here and watch her die.
04:26Go prep. I'll handle the family.
04:32Seriously? A rookie who just got here? You're trying to get my wife killed?
04:35That's right! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law, I'll sue this hospital into the ground!
04:41Let me through. If anything goes wrong, it's on me.
04:47We paid for Dr. Quinn! How dare you? I'll sue you personally!
04:54Who are you? Are you two in on this together?
04:57I'm the CEO of L&R Group. I'm personally guaranteeing this surgery.
05:02If anything goes wrong, it comes to me.
05:05Lucas Reed? That's the man I just divorced this morning?
05:19Mr. Reed, are you alright?
05:21I'm fine. Just your hands. They can't get hurt.
05:24Why does he care about my hands?
05:27Why did he help me at all?
05:29Are you alright?
05:31There's no time. I need to go in now.
05:41The surgery was a success. She's stable.
05:49I owe you an apology, doctor.
05:50On behalf of my whole family, I'm so sorry.
05:53And thank you. Thank you for saving my wife.
05:55Don't worry about it. The surgery went well. Keep her under observation for a few more hours, then she can
06:00be moved to a regular board.
06:01Thank you. Thank you so much.
06:08Dr. Lane, I'm Lucas Reed. Got a minute?
06:11He stayed from this morning all the way to now. You know who I am?
06:14Yes. I've been looking for you for three years. Or Alice, the one and only successor to the world's best
06:20neurosurgeon.
06:21So that's what he means. Three years married and he doesn't even know my face. Of course not.
06:26So the guarantee? Stepping in front of that bottle, all of that, was because I'm Alice?
06:32Yes. Your hands couldn't be raised.
06:34Even so, what does that have to do with you, Mr. Reed?
06:37There's a surgery I need done. I've been to every specialist I can find. No one will take the case.
06:43He helped me today. We're even. One surgery, then we're done for good.
06:48I once heard the housekeeper mention that there's someone Lucas never got over.
06:52Is this her?
06:53Three months, at most. The fragment is pressing on her optic nerve. She's already blind. Her hearing is probably going
06:59too.
06:59That's right.
07:01The window was a year ago. Why wasn't she operated on?
07:05Best odds anyone could give me were 50-50. I couldn't accept that.
07:10That's how much he loves her. But then again, why did he agree to marry me three years ago?
07:14A backup plan? Just in case she didn't make it? Bottom line, he's trash. Total trash.
07:20What if I'm not easy to find? Or what if I can't guarantee the surgery works?
07:24You've waited this long. What if she doesn't make it off the table?
07:27As long as you're alive, I'll find you.
07:30Unbelievable. You've been gambling with someone else's life this whole time and you think that makes you devoted?
07:34Fine. I've looked it over, but I need to see the patient myself before I decide anything.
07:38I know her condition inside and out. I can speak on her behalf.
07:41Speak on her behalf?
07:42She's the one whose life is at stake. I'm responsible for my patient, not you.
07:46If that's how you want to do this, then I'm sorry.
07:49I can't take the case.
07:51Why is she so hostile to me?
07:58Ellie!
08:00To celebrate your freedom and your grand return to medicine, I got us a booth.
08:05We are going out tonight.
08:10Wait, that jerk actually cheated? You're sure?
08:13You're all over the internet, Coco.
08:15Is it really okay to be out like this?
08:17I've got a hat on. Nobody's going to recognize me.
08:19You got played. The least I can do is get you out of the house.
08:23You just go ahead.
08:27I'll be right there.
08:32She looks different outside of work.
08:35Oh, I heard that new signing at his company. Apparently she's his girlfriend. Look.
08:41There's another one? How many is he juggling?
08:47She looks perfectly healthy. Definitely not the girl Lucas wants me to operate on.
08:55Hey, gorgeous. Drinking alone's no fun. Come sit with us.
08:58Don't bother looking. Security's been taken care of. Nobody's coming.
09:02They planned this. I've barely been out in three years to have crossed anyone.
09:05This has to be about Coco.
09:07And if I say no?
09:09Even better. Miss Shay's solid. This chick's hot.
09:13Shut your mouth!
09:15The woman called Miss Shay sent them. I need Sophie to look into this.
09:27Who the hell are you?
09:38Three years, no contact before the divorce. Now he's everywhere. Either he's following me, or I've got the worst luck.
09:46Mr. Reid, what are you doing here? Are you following me?
09:48Why can't I be here?
09:51You've been drinking.
09:54Don't worry, Dr. Lane. Your personal life is none of my business. I just want to know, in this state,
10:00can you hold a scalpel steady?
10:04Right. He's worried I'll be too drunk to operate on his precious girl. What I do and whether I can
10:07hold a scalpel is none of your concern. If you doubt me, find someone else. I haven't agreed to anything
10:12yet, anyway.
10:13She really doesn't hold back.
10:16I'll meet your conditions. I'll come pick you up myself tomorrow morning. I hope you'll keep your word, Dr. Lane.
10:21As long as you follow proper procedure, I will.
10:31Sophie, I need you to look into someone. They called her Shay. Two punks came after me and Coco tonight
10:36using her name. I need to know who she is.
10:38On it. I'll let you know the second I find anything. But don't you think it's a little funny?
10:43What do you mean?
10:45Lucas Reed. Three years, you never even saw him. And the day you divorce, you run into him twice. Either
10:49he's stalking you, or fate has a really bad sense of humor.
10:53Let it go, Sophie. He's in the past.
11:02Dr. Lane, are you seeing anyone?
11:07No.
11:09Really? Really? Awesome. Dr. Lane, I really like-
11:12I'm single. I'm also a wid- I mean, I'm divorced.
11:19That's an interesting way to turn someone down.
11:22Yep. Believe it or not, I actually wouldn't have minded just staying widowed.
11:26Her background's clean, and marriage status is blank. Is she telling the truth, or playing games?
11:34Your personal life isn't my concern, Dr. Lane. The car's ready. Let's go.
11:40Why ask so much if you don't care, weirdo?
11:51Mr. Reed, Little Miss knew you were coming today, so she insisted on coming out to meet you.
12:03Lucas, brother.
12:04Brother? Are they actually siblings, or is it something else?
12:08Hey, Lucas.
12:10Ellie, I've told you, be good. Lucas likes well-behaved girls.
12:17Ellie? Same as my Nook name.
12:19So when Lucas agreed to marry me three years ago, was it because of my name? That's disgusting.
12:24Nancy, take her back inside.
12:29You must be Dr. Lane. I'm Sherry, who's been looking after Ellie. Lucas and I are old friends.
12:33Hi. Sherry? Why does that name sound familiar?
12:41The way she's looking at me. Like she knows me. We only just met.
12:47Well, well, bitch. I underestimated you.
12:51Dr. Lane, are you alright?
12:55Dr. Lane, shall we head in? I can show you to the room.
12:59No need. I already got a look just now.
13:02She's doing a little better than I expected. I'll go back and put together a full surgical plan.
13:06We can talk once it's ready.
13:07If one look was enough, I've got the right person.
13:10Mr. Reed?
13:11Of course. Thank you, Dr. Lane.
13:17Dr. Lane, are you going to take the case?
13:21You really don't want me to do it.
13:22No, I don't. I mean, yes. Yes, I definitely want you to. Dr. Lane, that's not why I came out.
13:27I just wanted to ask, do you have a boyfriend?
13:29I want to take a reaction, but not smart enough.
13:32Do you go for someone like Lucas?
13:34He's so accomplished, so successful.
13:36Pretty sure every woman would be into him, right?
13:38Huh. She wants to know if I'm competition.
13:40You said it yourself. He's accomplished, he's successful.
13:42I'm a woman. Of course I'd be into him.
13:44Accomplished? Successful?
13:51Why were you standing so close?
13:53You're the one who spun around. Anyway, did you mean that?
13:57Obviously not.
13:59No? Then explain it to me, Dr. Lane. Were you testing me?
14:04Dr. Lane, you don't mind that Lucas was married before, right?
14:08His ex-wife wasn't good enough for him. Divorce was a good thing, so please don't hold that against him.
14:13You hid your marriage so well, but the divorce? You made sure everyone knew.
14:17You really couldn't wait, could you?
14:19Is that how you see her too, Mr. Reed?
14:22We weren't right for each other. The divorce was the best outcome for both of us.
14:26You never respected me or got to know me in the past three years.
14:29Best for us? That's rich coming from you.
14:32Good for you, then. I just hope you don't end up regretting it someday.
14:36Let go of me!
14:37You're angry. Is it because I've been married?
14:41You're reading into it, Mr. Reed. Your marriage isn't my problem.
14:44I just feel for your ex-wife. Those women won't stop running their mouths about her even now.
14:48You've got the wrong idea. She and I weren't like that. She was just-
14:51Sorry, I'm not interested. And I'm not the one you owe an explanation to. She is.
14:57Neither of us wanted that marriage. I settled with her at the end. We're even.
15:01I never liked her. I owe her nothing.
15:03Even? You can explain yourself to a doctor you just met, but your wife of three years didn't deserve so
15:08much as a word.
15:09Incredible.
15:10You don't owe me an explanation either. I'm not interested.
15:16Lucas, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.
15:18You did that on purpose. Don't play dumb. I don't want it happening again.
15:22Lucas, don't you think you're paying an awful lot of attention to Dr- Dr. Lane?
15:28That's only because she's the surgeon. Yeah, that's all.
15:34Until that surgery is done, you stay away from her.
15:41Just you wait, Elena Lane.
15:47Ellie, I've got something.
15:48Shay is Sherry. She paid those two punnings to go after Coco. There was a third guy there filming. They
15:53wanted leverage on her.
15:55Sherry?
15:57So it was her.
15:58What do you want to do?
16:00Leave them for now.
16:02That's not like you.
16:04Three years in that house must have knocked the edge off you.
16:07No, you've got it wrong. Harassment that didn't land? Attempted harassment? That's months. Max.
16:12I want something that actually hurts.
16:15Good. I know what to do.
16:19Thanks, Sophie.
16:26Dr. Lane? It's Sherry.
16:28Well, well, speak of the devil.
16:31What is it?
16:32Since you've agreed to do Ellie's surgery, I'd love to take you to dinner as a thank you.
16:36I've already sent a car to the hospital. I hope you'll come.
16:39Sure. I'll be there.
16:42Let's see how long you last when you're out of your depth.
16:45Since I'm going to make them pay anyway, might as well be tonight.
17:00Who is this? Does she not know this is a private event? Who let her in?
17:03This is one of Lucas's venues. Did he set this whole thing up?
17:10Everyone, this is Dr. Elena Lane from Hargrage, my guest tonight.
17:14Mr. Don speaks before he thinks. Don't take it personally.
17:17Told me she wasn't interested. And here she is. Women.
17:21I should have mentioned tonight is a business dinner for Vertex Media. I borrowed Lucas's face. Sorry for not being
17:26clearer.
17:29Business talk. Probably not your world, right? You might find it a bit hard to follow, Dr. Lane.
17:34Miss Sherry, I didn't come looking for trouble. But if you're going to keep trying to embarrass me, then I'm
17:40sorry.
17:41Even I'm embarrassed for you.
17:43What is wrong with you? Sherry was kind enough to invite you and look what you did.
17:47Don't blame Dr. Lane. It was my fault. I tripped.
17:50Lucas, don't blame her. She really didn't push me.
17:52You're still defending her? Don't worry. With Mr. Reed here, she can't do a thing to you.
17:56You really have no idea who you're dealing with.
18:11Miss Sherry, you tried to humiliate me and frame me. Did you really think I'd just let that go?
18:17You're insane. I didn't do anything. I just... I slipped.
18:22Really?
18:28Lucas, help me!
18:30You lunatic! You actually cut her!
18:36Dr. Lane, you're embarrassing Lucas!
18:39He won't care what happens to me. But his image? Elena, good luck.
18:44Are you done? Someone take her out and have that looked at.
18:48Nobody moves!
18:53Know your place. Mr. Reed could end your career with one phone call.
18:57So what's with the act, small town girl? Spare me the comedy.
19:00That night, Miss Sherry hired punks to go after my friend and have the whole thing filmed. The whole three
19:04of them have talked.
19:06So, are you going to cover for her?
19:08Nonsense! I've never set foot in a bar. I don't know any punks.
19:11Dr. Lane, you can't bomb me like this!
19:13I never said anything about a bar.
19:18Come after me, or come after anyone I care about. You'll end up just like those three guys. You hear
19:23me?
19:26Help! Bitch, let go of me!
19:28I thought you were afraid. By the way, those three are already in custody. Attempted assault. Kidnapping.
19:34That's not a short sentence. They won't be out for a long time.
19:49Dr. Lane, wait!
19:53Are you coming to stand up for her, Mr. Reed?
19:56Do you hate me, Dr. Lane?
19:57Hate you? I don't know you well enough for that. You're a stranger to me, Mr. Reed, that's all.
20:01A stranger whose dinner party you just attended? You're more spontaneous than I expected.
20:06Yeah, I am. Which is exactly why you should keep your distance.
20:08Once your imagery is done, I hope we'll cross the paths again.
20:16Stubborn woman.
20:20Everything went smoothly. 24 hours of observation. If there are no complications, she's in the clear.
20:25Thank you, Dr. Lane.
20:26Just doing my job. Once she's recovered, we won't need to see each other again.
20:29Do you have to be so cold about it? Hey, Ellie!
20:32Why am I so upset after she said that?
20:42Something else, Mr. Reed?
20:43I had a team evaluate you. Your work is even stronger than it was three years ago.
20:47And?
20:48I'd like to formally offer you a position at Reed Medical, head of neurosurgery and deputy director. Name your terms.
20:54Reed Medical may be private, but it's hired top doctors worldwide. You really will do anything for the woman you
20:59love, won't you?
21:00Does that mean yes?
21:01No. I'm happy where I am.
21:03She needs you, Dr. Lane. If the offer isn't enough, tell me what you want. I'll make it work.
21:07A hundred million dollars? Can you do that?
21:09Done. I'll have finance transfer it now.
21:12I didn't think he'd actually go that far for her. I changed my mind. Sorry.
21:16Dr. Lane, there's being greedy and then there's pushing it.
21:19Greedy? You're rich, Mr. Reed. But I'm not short on money. A hundred million honestly doesn't do much for me.
21:24Really? Then what would?
21:26Go down to the main lobby. Shout I'm a jerk three times in front of everyone. Do that, and I'll
21:31join Reed Medical.
21:33Are you serious?
21:34Do I seem like someone who jokes around with strangers?
21:38All I wanted was to get even. If I didn't have to keep a low profile, I would have called
21:43you out already.
21:44What's the matter, Mr. Reed? Get cold feet? Or maybe you just don't love her enough to do something this
21:48small.
21:49Dr. Lane, a hundred million is serious money. If it's not enough, I can go higher.
21:53So that's a no. Exit's that way. Goodbye.
22:01Sir, I looked into it. The bar accident wasn't random. Miss Sherry paid those men. There was a third one
22:07filming. Dr. Lane wasn't lying.
22:09Take care of those three. Make it right on Dr. Lane's behalf.
22:15Understood.
22:16Tell me something. Why do you think she'd walk away from a hundred million just to make it look stupid
22:20in public?
22:21What does that say to you? Sir, it sounds like she might have feelings for you.
22:25For me? Feelings for me? So she's jealous. That's why she wanted me to...
22:32The divorce agreement is signed. Get it to her. Handle the paperwork at the courthouse in a month.
22:38Yes, sir.
22:39Though, sir, aren't you even a little curious what she looks like?
22:44Why would I be?
22:46Well, if you walked right past her and didn't recognize her, that'd only make it worse.
22:49You've got an image to protect, sir. You really want her telling people you're a deadbeat?
22:52My image needs protected by someone I'll never see again? Ridiculous.
22:56Though I suppose one look won't hurt. I want to see who's giving me this much grief.
23:02Dr. Lane!
23:02Dr. Lane!
23:03Dr. Lane!
23:04Dr. Lane!
23:09Dr. Lane!
23:24I came in to get it changed. Will you come with me?
23:27Dr. Lane!
23:34Need me to call a wheelchair for you, Mrs. Sherry?
23:38I just twisted my ankle. I didn't mean to grab him. Don't read into it.
23:43You've been practicing that move for a while, haven't you? Works pretty well, though. Mr. Reid seems to call for
23:47it every time.
23:48Do I?
23:50Taking her side, Mr. Reid?
23:52Dr. Lane, you like me.
23:54I'm sorry, that's a condition, Mr. Reid. You should get that checked.
23:57If you don't like me, why do you keep going after the women around me?
24:01I...
24:02I'm going after you, not them. Fine. Doesn't matter.
24:06I am not letting him find out who I am before the divorce is finalized.
24:11Called it. She likes me.
24:14Clear your schedule for the next month.
24:17Why?
24:19I think you know why.
24:20I think you know why.
24:27Coco, let's go grab a drink. Two pains in the ass after work.
24:32Best night ever. Top me up. I can keep going.
24:35Sure you can. Let's get you home first.
24:37I still can't believe it. The Nanshore rich guy you told me about. The cheating, useless one.
24:44Lucas Reid. What a piece of work.
24:47Is this how you talk about people behind their backs, Dr. Lane?
24:51I don't know I'm running out of here.
24:58That was wrong of me. I'm sorry. Though, why are you here? And don't tell me you're not following me.
25:05Following you? Do I need your permission to come home, Dr. Lane?
25:10Don't tell me that's your place.
25:13Fingerprint recognized. Welcome home.
25:16He lives across the hall from me?
25:18Now, Dr. Lane, want to explain what you're doing here?
25:20I think you're the one who's following me.
25:27Fingerprint recognized.
25:32And you want me to believe this is a coincidence?
25:35I have no idea how this happened. I'll find a new place tomorrow.
25:41Sophie, the place you got me is right across from Lucas.
25:45I need to find somewhere else, far, far away from that bastard.
25:52Mr. Reid, it's quite late. Is there something you need?
25:54Still no contact with her about the paperwork?
25:56She's blocked me, sir. After she left the estate, she never went back.
25:58We can't locate her, but I'll keep trying.
26:00Find her, get it done. Whatever she wants in compensation, agree to it.
26:03You never once came to bother me, though.
26:05I'll give you what you're owed. Once it's done, we're finished.
26:14Miss Quinn, bad news. Horizon Capital reported our streamers for misconduct and tax evasion.
26:20Coco's phone?
26:21Jamie, it's me, Elena. Coco isn't awake yet. Talk to me, I'll handle it.
26:25Horizon and LNR Group streaming division.
26:27Word is Miss Quinn crossed the LNR Group CEO. He's coming after us personally.
26:32The LNR Group CEO? Lucas Reid?
26:42The cheating, useless one? Lucas Reid? What a piece of work.
26:51Some bad-mouthing and he goes this hard?
27:01Dr. Lane, I didn't think we were close enough for early morning phone calls.
27:04Mr. Reid? Just because Coco cursed you out drunk, you're shutting her whole operation down over that?
27:09What are you talking about?
27:09Don't play dumb. Did you or didn't you order a hit on her company?
27:13You're saying I went after your friend from last night?
27:15Didn't you?
27:17Look, what she said was on me. I'm so sorry. Come after me if you have a problem, but call
27:21it off.
27:21What makes you think I have to accept your apology?
27:29Sir, we never touched Miss Quinn's company. Why didn't you just say so?
27:34She came at me without knowing the facts. I don't owe her an explanation.
27:39Ellie, I'm sorry. I dragged you into this.
27:42It's fine. Lucas is doing this to get back at me. I'll go deal with him myself.
27:51I'm sorry, Miss Lane. Mr. Reid says he won't see you.
27:54That's just petty.
27:56Dr. Lane. What a surprise.
27:59Morning, Miss Sherry. Are you here for Mr. Reid?
28:01Lunch with Lucas, yes.
28:03Dr. Lane, you're here for him too?
28:05He's not exactly easy to get in front of, but I can bring you up with me if you'd like.
28:12I'm not someone who shows up on demand. Could you pass a message along? Tell him we're even. And after
28:18this, we're done.
28:27Sophie, do you have any contacts in the streaming world?
28:30This is about Coco's company?
28:33Some.
28:35But the moment they hear it means going up against Lucas Reid, they'll back off.
28:39Nobody in Nanshore wants that fight.
28:42Then we handle it ourselves.
28:44You'd use our own resources? That'll expose you as the person behind Nexus Tech.
28:48Coco's my best friend. I have to.
28:50Don't worry. As long as you're the face of the company, Lucas won't be able to trace it back to
28:54me.
29:01I didn't think we were close enough for drop-in visits, Mr. Stranger.
29:04Sharp tongue.
29:07Stranger, huh?
29:08Then I'm asking you as a patient's family member, go check on the patient, will you?
29:12Family member, you want me to smile and go check on your girlfriend?
29:18The surgery went well.
29:20She's not in danger. I'm a doctor, not a personal attendant.
29:24Does it have to be like this every time?
29:26How I talk to someone depends on who they are.
29:28You're nothing to me, Mr. Reid. Why would I treat you any differently?
29:31I haven't done anything to you, Dr. Lane.
29:33This morning, your front desk turned me away, and now you're here asking for favors?
29:36All this for her. I wonder if your ex-wife knew, what would she think?
29:40My ex-wife?
29:42What does she have to do with any of this?
29:43Wait, the front desk turned you away this morning?
29:46Are you playing dumb?
29:48Sorry, I have patience to see, Mr. Reid. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
29:59Who gave the front desk that order?
30:01Ms. Sherry, sir. She told him to stop any woman coming to see you.
30:06Bar her from the building. Anyone who lets her in is fired.
30:10Yes, sir.
30:13Well, well, Mr. Busy Man asks me for coffee.
30:16Alright, what's this about?
30:17I have a friend, hypothetically. This friend has a misunderstanding with a woman. How does he fix it?
30:25A friend. Right. Has he been seeing that Dr. Lane I helped him look into?
30:29Easy. Buy her a gift. Though for someone at Dr. Lane's level, I wouldn't really know where to start.
30:34I never said it was Dr. Lane.
30:38That reaction says it all.
30:39Okay, okay, my mistake. Flowers work. Or make her something. Personal effort goes a long way.
30:44Okay. People give me gifts. I'm not the one who gives them. Flowers? Handmade things? Absolutely not.
31:00Which woman did he pick those up from? Disgusting.
31:04That face. Does she not like roses? Or does she not like getting them from me?
31:15Hey, Dr. Lane.
31:17If there's something you need, Mr. Reed.
31:19There is.
31:23I haven't eaten.
31:28So why do I care? Don't tell me you want to eat here.
31:32Watch your tone, woman.
31:34Hold this.
31:42That's breaking and intendering, Mr. Reed. I will call the police.
31:51This cover it? I'm not a free floater.
31:54I'm a neurosurgeon. I run a tech company on the side. You think I need that?
32:02Found out who's behind it.
32:03Sherry, jealous of Coco, curred favor with Horizon Capital behind everyone's backs to take her down.
32:08Lucas wasn't involved.
32:09So it wasn't him?
32:10Not at all. Sherry did this on her own. Lucas doesn't know a thing.
32:18I really wronged him.
32:20Since you're being so generous, fine. Wait here.
32:24Your advice was useless. I figured it out myself.
32:27What did you do?
32:30You just threw money at it?
32:32Money solves everything.
32:40What are you doing? It's almost ready. Just go sit down.
32:43I was waiting for Sophie to help me cook. Then he showed up.
32:46Fine, I owe him one. Guess I'll wing it in the kitchen.
32:51Here. Let me.
32:52Don't tell me you actually know how to cook.
32:54Probably better than you'd expect.
32:59Can't deny it. Pretty people make everything look good.
33:02Dr. Lane, ease up with the eyes. I can feel it.
33:09Okay, flowers. Cooking. What do you actually want, Mr. Reed?
33:14Is this about checking on your patient?
33:19Can I come by without an agenda?
33:26Why does my heart do that when he looks at me?
33:31Go watch Netflix. I've got this.
33:33Right. Okay. I'm leaving.
33:41It's ready.
33:48About Coco's company. I had it wrong. I'm sorry.
33:51Okay.
33:52That's it?
33:53What else do you want me to say?
33:54You know, throw some shade, curse me out, whatever. And why no explanation then?
33:57I'm a generous person, and you were furious. You wouldn't have heard a word I said.
34:01So, eat.
34:03Didn't know Lucas Reed had this side to him.
34:08Sir, the afternoon meeting's off. They rescheduled.
34:12Sir?
34:14Since when does he smile like that?
34:20Sir?
34:21Oh, okay. Got it.
34:23Since the meeting's canceled, should I schedule dinner with Mr. Channing this afternoon?
34:26No. I'm going to the hospital.
34:31Mr. Reed is way off today. And why the hospital trip?
34:38Don't those need signing?
34:42That friend of Dr. Lane's, Coco, her company trouble might be on us. Sort it out.
34:46Actually, sir. Nexus Tech has already stepped in.
34:49Nexus Tech? They only operate overseas. Why would they suddenly help a local streaming company?
34:54I'm not sure either. There's no info on the big boss behind Nexus Tech. No idea why they get involved.
34:59Nexus is our biggest competitor for the overseas market. We can't expand internationally with them in the way.
35:04Look into the person behind Nexus. Let me know as soon as you find anything.
35:12Dr. Lane.
35:16Ethan, you're finally back.
35:18Business kept me off sores. First thing I did when I landed was come find you.
35:21Get in. I'm taking you to eat.
35:22Call Sophie. The three of us haven't eaten together in ages.
35:26Grandma took us in. Elena's always seen you as her big brother.
35:29Now your feelings changed. When will you tell her?
35:33Not yet. When the time is right.
35:36Then I'll sit out the first dinner. You two catch up.
35:39Sophie has a work dinner. She'll catch up with us another time.
35:49Isn't that Lucas' car? What's he doing here?
35:55Is he here for Elena? He has feelings for her too?
36:00That's your ex-husband. Are you two still in contact?
36:05Just work stuff.
36:07Someone's been quietly digging into Nexus Tech's ownership.
36:09From what I can tell, it's him.
36:11Why would he investigate me?
36:13Nexus doesn't compete with L&R Group directly.
36:15I'm not sure what he's after. But don't worry, he won't trace it back to you.
36:18Is there any chance it's you two get back together?
36:20We never even met during the marriage. He never cared about me.
36:23No way we're getting back together.
36:29She's never smiled at me like that.
36:34Come have a drink with me.
36:37Nathan, what does it feel like to actually like someone?
36:40You've fallen for Dr. Lane, haven't you?
36:42I can see it. Whatever you feel for her, it's different.
36:46If it's real, go after her.
36:48She's not picking up. Doesn't sound like this is gonna be easy.
36:54Who was that? Why did he pick you up and drop you off?
36:56Why didn't you answer my calls?
36:58He means Ethan?
36:59Let go of me!
37:00You're the last person who gets to ask.
37:02And you don't get to decide whether I answer my phone.
37:05Last person?
37:06You were supposed to be the man who treated me best.
37:08But you left and cheated.
37:10You have no right to interfere in my life anymore.
37:11So because I was married, you're keeping your distance?
37:14When are you gonna stop hiding?
37:15Don't flatter yourself! I'm just-
37:25Have you lost your mind?
37:36What are you doing here?
37:39Are you scared of me?
37:41You're talking nonsense.
37:43Then why are you avoiding me?
37:45Because I don't trust myself not to hit you again.
37:47I'm not avoiding anyone.
37:48If not, why did you leave so early this morning?
37:50My commute is none of your business.
37:51Unlike some people, I actually have a job to do.
37:54You're this upset.
37:55Was that your first kiss last night?
37:58Please!
37:59I've kissed plenty of people.
38:00You were honestly the worst.
38:01What?
38:01Who are they?
38:02That's not your business either.
38:03Whatever happened before, I'll let it go.
38:06But going forward, that's not okay.
38:08What are you even talking about?
38:10If you came about last night, I'm willing to forget it happened.
38:12You can leave.
38:13I already slapped him.
38:15I spent all night thinking about how to apologize.
38:18And she's more over it than I am.
38:21Fine.
38:22Good to know you're so unbothered, Eller Lane.
38:24I guess I don't owe you anything then.
38:27That was my first kiss.
38:28And it went to that idiot.
38:31Sir, trouble!
38:32Someone leaked your marriage.
38:33They say you cheated with Miss Sherry.
38:34She's getting trolled online.
38:35Her accounts are flooded.
38:35Find out who did this.
38:37Now!
38:38Sir, the divorce isn't final yet.
38:40This will hurt the stock price.
38:42Hardly anyone knows the truth.
38:44Should I reach out to your ex-wife and ask her to help clear things up?
38:48No.
38:50She never came to me in three years.
38:52I can't go to her now and I don't want her involved.
38:57Dr. Lane, you've gone too far.
38:58I only told you that he got married.
38:59How could you sell that to the media?
39:01Wait.
39:01Dr. Lane out bowed Lucas Reed for cheating?
39:03No way.
39:04I always thought she seemed decent.
39:08Do you have proof?
39:09Because if not, expect a lawyer's letter.
39:11Barely anyone knew he'd been married.
39:13Who else would it be?
39:13I can't speak for everyone else, but I'd take a closer look at yourself.
39:17What's that supposed to mean?
39:19A friendship with him officially him to commit.
39:22Fine.
39:22But leave me out of it.
39:26I know you like Lucas, Dr. Lane.
39:27But you can't just accuse me like this.
39:29There's nothing going on between us.
39:30Miss, chin up!
39:31The one not loved is the extra one and make it to your fingers?
39:34All I need is a public apology.
39:36Dr. Lane, do that and we're done here.
39:38Someone does owe an apology.
39:48Here we go.
39:49A billionaire saving his girl in public?
39:51I have never seen this in real life.
39:53This is a textbook love story.
39:54Lucas, why are you here?
39:56Don't be too hard on Dr. Lane.
39:57It was my fault.
40:00I should have kept my mouth shut.
40:01I understand why she's upset with me.
40:04I don't blame her.
40:04Are you here to pile on too?
40:06Sherry apologized to Dr. Lane.
40:09Me?
40:09Lucas, I think you have this backwards.
40:11The leak, the lie, the setup, all you.
40:14Don't think you need to apologize?
40:16So Sherry staged the whole thing.
40:18It's dark.
40:19Lucas, there's been a misunderstanding.
40:20It wasn't me, it was Dr. Lane.
40:23You had your chance.
40:24You're done working for me.
40:26Ryan, hand her over to the police.
40:32Yes, sir.
40:33Lucas, please!
40:34I didn't mean for any of this!
40:44How did you know to come?
40:46That's your idea of a thank you.
40:47If it weren't for me, you'd still be the villain right now.
40:51I could have sorted it out myself.
40:53Fine.
40:53Thanks.
40:55That's it?
40:56If you're grateful, you have to actually show it.
40:58It's getting late.
41:00To show my sincerity, dinner at my place, let's see how long you last.
41:05Sure.
41:08Do you realize what you're saying?
41:10Don't come crying to me when you're keeled over.
41:12How could I turn down your sincerity?
41:14I don't have groceries.
41:15I drove here.
41:16I'll take you.
41:20I've got it.
41:29Since when are they that close?
41:31I thought they were divorced.
41:32Why are they still-
41:37That smells so good.
41:44Ow!
41:45Hold that.
41:48You okay?
41:49Should I get you to a hospital?
41:53Did it blister?
41:54Let me take you to the hospital.
42:00I'm fine.
42:13If Lucas finds out how close Ethan and I are, he'll dig into it.
42:16And that could lead him straight to Nexus Tech.
42:19Etho!
42:20What are you doing here?
42:21Etho?
42:22How chummy.
42:24You weren't picking up.
42:25I grabbed dessert from your favorite place.
42:27I can't believe he's actually here.
42:29He doesn't seem to know she's his ex-wife though.
42:31Ellie, who's this?
42:33What does he mean?
42:34Oh, Ethan didn't want Lucas to know that he's my ex.
42:36My neighbor from across the hall.
42:37I owe him a favor.
42:38That's why he's here for dinner.
42:41Sorry, neighbor.
42:42Didn't know you'd be here, so I only got dessert for two.
42:44An aisle I always liked.
42:46Did you keep them here for me?
42:47I just bought those randomly.
42:49What is he doing?
42:58Ellie, I haven't eaten.
42:59Could you grab me some cutlery from the kitchen?
43:05So, neighbor.
43:07I hear you've been married.
43:09How come your wife isn't here?
43:11He has something against me.
43:13He already knows I was married.
43:14Did Elena tell him?
43:20You always remember.
43:21You're okay with a whiskey sour neighbor?
43:25I'm fine, thanks.
43:29What is going on with Ethan right now?
43:51This is overcooked, and the soup's a bit flat.
43:54Ellie, you can't serve guest food like this.
43:57Is it?
43:58Elena seems to like it.
43:59That's enough for me.
44:00Anyone who doesn't enjoy it is welcome to stop eating.
44:07Do you two have some kind of history?
44:09Of course not.
44:10I've never met this man before.
44:11What kind of grudge could I have against a stranger?
44:14None here either.
44:16Fine.
44:17Are you both done?
44:18If you're done, just leave.
44:19I-
44:20The food.
44:21It was too bad to finish.
44:23I'll clean up before I go.
44:25Some of us actually care about Ellie.
44:29Ethan, please.
44:30Cleaning up is what housekeepers are for.
44:32I'll pass.
44:32I had dessert sent over, by the way.
44:34Unlike some people, I brought enough for everyone.
44:45What-
44:51Is he trying to make me explode?
44:54He's trying to make a handle.
44:55Sir, the slippers you asked for.
44:57Your preferred style went there.
44:58Are youres a pair of weds on the team?
45:01Peter?
45:01man here. Wow, Dr. Lane is playing a wild game. You can go. The most interesting thing that's
45:15happened all year and I'm being dismissed. Ellie only ever likes the one place. All this
45:31What a waste. Change is good sometimes. Right, Dr. Lane?
45:53Happy now? Both of you? Great. Then you can both leave.
46:15Say hi to your wife for me, neighbor. We should all have dinner sometime, the four of us. True. Though
46:22I wonder, do you think she knows how little you cared? I imagine she probably despises you. None of your
46:27business.
46:37Sir, a fight? I'm downstairs. How many bodyguards do you need? I'm worried you can't handle it alone. Nobody's fighting.
46:42Go find out who that man is and what he is to Dr. Lane. Everything. Already on it, sir. His
46:46full name is Ethan Lane. His background's buried deep. I barely got anything. But he's tied to Nexus Tech. Seems
46:51like he's got serious backing. Nexus Tech?
47:02Keep digging. Keep digging. And the moment you have anything on whoever's running Nexus, tell me.
47:10Yes, sir. They know each other. Is Elena connected to Nexus 2?
47:16Sir, Miss Sherry gets out today. What should we do about her going forward? Pick her up, but don't give
47:20her any work. Since she went after me publicly, there are consequences for that. She's already out, actually. She went
47:26straight to a hospital.
47:27Which one? Pargrove. Cancel the afternoon meeting.
47:38You really love hospitals, Miss Sherry. You went straight from the police station to here. What, ready for round two?
47:44Take it and disappear. Lucas is out of your league.
47:50And he's in yours? Don't push me, Elena. Take the money, stay away from him, and I'll forget everything that's
47:54happened.
47:55Otherwise, otherwise what? You'll ruin my reputation? Have someone rough me up?
47:59Oh, I'm so terrified.
48:08Bitch.
48:17How dare you hit me? That's a warning. Leave me alone, and I leave you alone. Push me again, and
48:24next time it won't just be a wine bottle near your throat.
48:32And this one's for Coco. Touch her again, and I will come for you. She is not someone you want
48:37to mess with.
48:37So you're the one who saved her company? Yes.
48:42Sir, I just got word. Nexus Tech stepped in and sorted out Miss Quincy's company.
48:46So you're the one who saved her company? Yes.
48:49Though whoever's running Nexus, there's still nothing on them. Elena is the person behind Nexus.
49:01Stay away from me. This is your final warning.
49:15Don't blame Dr. Lane. She didn't push me.
49:19You think I pushed her too?
49:20I saw it. She fell on her own. Nothing to do with you.
49:22Lucas, I...
49:23Get her looked at.
49:27So, what are you doing here?
49:30I was passing by.
49:33Yeah, right.
49:34I heard what you two talked earlier. So you were the one who helped Coco. But from what I know,
49:39that was Nexus Tech. Are you connected to them?
49:42Nope. I was just saying it to scare her off to stop her going after Coco again. You actually believed
49:47that?
49:48What? That was close.
49:54Sir, news on your wife.
49:57Did you reach her?
49:58I did. Everything's arranged. She'll be at the courthouse tomorrow to finalize the divorce. Should I go in your place
50:03as planned?
50:04Yes, sir.
50:05Wait.
50:07Sir.
50:09So, neighbor. I hear you've been married. How come your wife isn't here? I'll handle it myself. You don't need
50:16to keep passing messages.
50:17Yes, sir.
50:19We do need to sit down to settle this once and for all. Once it's done, no one can use
50:22this against me. And I can go all in on Elena officially.
50:33Tomorrow's the day. You okay?
50:34I'm fine. Just three years. It's a lot to close a door on.
50:39Stop thinking about it. The second you sign those papers, the new chapter starts. Then we party.
50:52Where is she?
50:53Ryan, she said there's traffic. She should be close.
51:12The woman I'm here to divorce is... Elena?
51:18He actually came himself. Fine. Once that's done, I'll be totally done with him.
51:28Dr. Lane, emergency brain cancer surgery needed. It's too complicated. No one else will take it. Please come back.
51:33Okay, I'll be right back.
51:38Where is she going? Isn't she my wife?
51:48Brian, get to the courthouse.
51:49Sir, aren't you already there?
51:50Something came up. I gotta go first. She looked rattled. It had to be an emergency. If the paperwork goes
51:54through, she's not my wife. If it doesn't...
52:05What are you doing here? Did he figure it out? Is that why he's here?
52:09You left in such a rush. I got worried. So I followed.
52:18There's something I need to tell you.
52:20There's something I need to tell you.
