00:00:05I am Alice, Senior Lawyer at New York Tower.
00:00:12Recently, I was forced to take on a BDSM case.
00:00:23Defending a criminal, I came here to defend him.
00:00:28Not to become his next victim.
00:00:32And the worst part was, I enjoyed it.
00:00:37Don't fight it, Counselor. Cry for me.
00:00:43Yes, sir.
00:00:57The Aster heir got himself into a scandal. The whole city is obsessed.
00:01:02You want that partner title? Earn it here.
00:01:06I'll handle it.
00:01:14The client sent these over.
00:01:18What the hell is this? Evidence or porn?
00:01:21He's facing abuse allegations and he says it was consensual kink.
00:01:26His words, not mine.
00:01:31God forbid our rich boys just have normal sex.
00:01:34Should we turn it down?
00:01:36Three years, no promotion.
00:01:37This might be the case that changes everything.
00:01:41Those eyes, like he's hunting something.
00:01:48All right, time to meet Mr. Aster.
00:01:55There he is.
00:01:57William Aster.
00:01:59A beast dressed up like a gentleman.
00:02:04Hi, Counselor.
00:02:14No wonder the old man hired your firm.
00:02:17He didn't just hire a lawyer, he hired a beauty.
00:02:19Mr. Aster, I'm not here to be flirted with.
00:02:21I'm your attorney.
00:02:22Of course. Counselor.
00:02:24Let's skip the small talk.
00:02:26Tell me exactly what happened that night.
00:02:28Every detail.
00:02:30And don't lie to me.
00:02:34Everything?
00:02:35Every detail.
00:02:36Words aren't really my strength.
00:02:39Maybe I should demonstrate.
00:02:44Go ahead.
00:02:45We met at a club.
00:02:47A BDSM club?
00:02:48Yes.
00:02:49We arranged everything online.
00:02:51The time, the hotel.
00:02:53When I arrived, she was sitting in a chair.
00:02:56Like you.
00:02:58I walked behind her and tied her up.
00:03:04What the hell are you doing?
00:03:06How am I supposed to work like this?
00:03:14You know, Counselor?
00:03:16Your body gives you away.
00:03:18You're far more suited to being a sub than she was.
00:03:21Excuse me? A sub?
00:03:24Absolutely not.
00:03:25Let me go.
00:03:26Hmph.
00:03:28Are you sure, Counselor?
00:03:30Or are you just afraid to find out?
00:03:32I don't need to test anything!
00:03:37Hey!
00:03:38Your boss is insane!
00:03:40Get me out of this!
00:03:45You can deny it all you want, Counselor.
00:03:49But I know what I'm looking at.
00:03:52What the hell?
00:03:53You psycho!
00:03:55Wait, are you hard?
00:03:58God, you really are a freak.
00:03:59Why?
00:04:00Do you want to feel it?
00:04:02See how badly my body wants you?
00:04:21Fuck off.
00:04:23Find another lawyer.
00:04:24Because I'm not defending scum like you.
00:04:32Boss, should I find you another lawyer?
00:04:37Don't bother.
00:04:39She's the one.
00:04:48Bank again?
00:04:50You haven't slept at home in two weeks.
00:04:52We haven't been together.
00:04:55Wait a second.
00:04:56What's on your neck?
00:04:58It's nothing.
00:04:59Just a bug bite.
00:05:01James.
00:05:02Bugs don't leave marks like that.
00:05:04For God's sake, Alice.
00:05:05I'm your husband, not a criminal on the stand.
00:05:08Stop interrogating me!
00:05:13Sorry, babe.
00:05:14I didn't mean that.
00:05:16Anyway, I heard you got the Astor's case?
00:05:19That sadistic pervert?
00:05:21I don't want to represent him.
00:05:23You have to take it.
00:05:27Astor basically holds my future at the bank.
00:05:30Win this, and I become president.
00:05:35I don't know.
00:05:36Do this for me, Alice.
00:05:38Win William's case, and I promise I'll make more time for you.
00:05:54Are you crazy?
00:05:55I told you my wife notices everything.
00:06:00Because I have a little surprise for you.
00:06:04Fuck.
00:06:06You naughty little thing.
00:06:07I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
00:06:17James?
00:06:18You're back?
00:06:22William!
00:06:23Why are you in my bed?
00:06:28Oh, baby.
00:06:33Without all that lawyer armor,
00:06:36you're even more stunning.
00:06:48To me.
00:06:50Oh.
00:06:55Oh.
00:06:57Oh.
00:07:00Oh.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:02Oh.
00:07:03Oh.
00:07:05Kill me.
00:07:06Gladly, Counselor. You'll die under me.
00:07:11God, what is wrong with me?
00:07:16This is insane. Those files got into my head. I have to get off this case.
00:07:31I need to drop this case now. You okay?
00:07:33You don't look so good.
00:07:40I'm fine. Arthur wants to see you. Right now.
00:07:49Good morning, Counselor.
00:07:51That dream really messed me up.
00:07:56Arthur, I'm withdrawing from William's case.
00:07:59No, Alice. That's exactly why I asked you here.
00:08:03You're staying on the case.
00:08:05This case is critical to the firm.
00:08:08I'm not the only lawyer in this firm.
00:08:12No. You're the one they want.
00:08:14Why me?
00:08:20Because I chose you.
00:08:22Excuse me?
00:08:23My family spends nine figures a year on this firm, Counselor.
00:08:29So in this room, I give the orders.
00:08:34You...
00:08:35Follow them.
00:08:39He's right.
00:08:42Win this case, and your partner title is official.
00:08:59Yesterday won't happen again.
00:09:05Not unless you ask for it.
00:09:10And I'm supposed to trust you?
00:09:13In BDSM, there is usually a safe word.
00:09:16If either person says it, everything stops immediately.
00:09:19What exactly are you suggesting?
00:09:23We can have a safe word of our own.
00:09:24If I cross a line, use it, I stop.
00:09:30Fine.
00:09:30Choose one, Counselor.
00:09:32What's your word?
00:09:35Stop.
00:09:36Trust me, Counselor. Not that one.
00:09:39Everyone says stop, Counselor.
00:09:41Sometimes they mean it.
00:09:43Sometimes they don't.
00:09:45Choose a word that would never leave your mouth unless you meant it.
00:09:50Then I stop. Understood?
00:09:52Is that how your world works?
00:09:54No.
00:09:55It's the rule when you're with me.
00:10:00Something I'd never say to you?
00:10:01Or something you'd never say to anyone?
00:10:17Kill me.
00:10:24Kill me.
00:10:28I'm not someone who jokes about death.
00:10:30If I ever say those words, you stop.
00:10:33No questions.
00:10:34Deal. Let's test it.
00:10:36Wait. Test what?
00:10:40What the hell are you doing? I didn't agree to start!
00:10:48Counselor, how are you supposed to defend me when you don't understand BDSM?
00:10:53William.
00:10:54William. Wait.
00:10:56Why keep lying to yourself, Counselor?
00:10:59Isn't this exactly what you want from me?
00:11:01No. Of course not.
00:11:04Really?
00:11:06Then say the safe word, Counselor.
00:11:09Make me stop.
00:11:10No! I said stop!
00:11:12Say it out loud.
00:11:15One word.
00:11:20And this ends.
00:11:24See, Counselor?
00:11:26If you wanted me to stop, you would have said it already.
00:11:29You want me in control.
00:11:36Nonsense! Kill me! Kill me! Stop!
00:11:38No!
00:11:41All right!
00:11:48First lesson. Over.
00:11:50Case ends. Your husband becomes the president.
00:11:55You bribing me?
00:11:56No.
00:11:58This is a reward.
00:12:00We play by the rules.
00:12:02I like it that way.
00:12:06Listen, William.
00:12:07I don't care how much your family spends at the firm.
00:12:10Next time you act without my say on anything off the case,
00:12:13I'll make you regret it!
00:12:16Money isn't everything.
00:12:18That's why you need a lawyer, right?
00:12:25I'm glad you figured it out.
00:12:27Club invite.
00:12:28If you want the full picture of the case, this is it.
00:12:30Thanks.
00:12:31Can't wait to celebrate your win.
00:12:33Don't forget your promise.
00:12:34Of course.
00:12:35You'll be the youngest partner.
00:12:57Don't.
00:13:03This is hell.
00:13:08This is hell.
00:13:14What can I get you?
00:13:20Bitch.
00:13:22Python.
00:13:23Toilet bowl.
00:13:26Oh my god.
00:13:27What even are these?
00:13:29First time here?
00:13:30Forget it.
00:13:31I'll have burning desire.
00:13:33Excellent choice, ma'am.
00:13:43So, everyone here is into this lifestyle?
00:13:47Everyone.
00:13:49Then how do people find dates here?
00:13:54Looking for a date, gorgeous?
00:13:56You found one.
00:13:57Sorry.
00:13:58I don't know you.
00:14:00One night with me and you will.
00:14:03Not interested.
00:14:04Sure you're not.
00:14:05So, what's your role?
00:14:07A sub?
00:14:08An M?
00:14:10Don't tell me you're a Dorv.
00:14:12None of the above.
00:14:13Move.
00:14:15What?
00:14:16Think you're too good for me?
00:14:18You bitch.
00:14:20You ordered a burning desire and now you're playing innocent?
00:14:23Let go!
00:14:24I have no idea what you're talking about!
00:14:29Trust me.
00:14:30You'll figure it out in bed.
00:14:36What's happening?
00:14:38Why am I getting dizzy?
00:14:47You really don't know what burning desire is?
00:14:50Don't worry.
00:14:51Don't worry.
00:14:51I'll train you properly.
00:14:53Guaranteed.
00:14:54A night you'll never forget.
00:14:57No!
00:14:58Let go of me!
00:15:04What are you doing?
00:15:07Baby.
00:15:08Don't be scared.
00:15:10You're gonna enjoy this.
00:15:12No!
00:15:13Let me go!
00:15:14Whoa.
00:15:15Her acting is incredible.
00:15:17That whip.
00:15:20So hot.
00:15:23Help!
00:15:24Somebody help me!
00:15:26No!
00:15:27I really don't know him!
00:15:29You will.
00:15:30Soon enough.
00:15:34Boss, here are the club's latest profits.
00:15:38Somebody help me!
00:15:40Alice?
00:15:40What the hell is she doing here?
00:15:48Let go!
00:15:49You perverts!
00:15:59Sweetheart.
00:16:00Need some help.
00:16:04Relax, everyone.
00:16:05That's not a real bullet.
00:16:07This is his kink.
00:16:08He likes pain.
00:16:10Fuck.
00:16:12That's William Astor's woman.
00:16:15Yeah.
00:16:16The bleeding feels...
00:16:18good.
00:16:19I second that!
00:16:23You drank the burning desire?
00:16:25What's that?
00:16:27A...
00:16:28Aphrodiesse.
00:16:30Damn.
00:16:31I hate perverts.
00:16:44Marcus.
00:16:45Bring a doctor up.
00:16:46Don't leave.
00:16:48Master.
00:16:50Damn.
00:16:53When you sober up, you're probably gonna bite again.
00:16:57That feels nice.
00:17:02Do you know who I am, Alex?
00:17:04William Astor.
00:17:07My...
00:17:09You're what?
00:17:11My client.
00:17:24Do you like this?
00:17:26Yes.
00:17:28Master, please.
00:17:29Now that's a much more honest answer.
00:17:33Mr. Astor, I'm sorry.
00:17:36I didn't know she was yours.
00:17:38Wrong answer.
00:17:43Try again.
00:17:47I swear I didn't know.
00:17:49Mr. Astor, I'm sorry.
00:17:50Just tell me what I did wrong.
00:17:53BDSM starts with one thing.
00:17:55Consent.
00:17:56You crossed the line when you tried to force her.
00:17:59But she ordered a burning desire.
00:18:02I just got the wrong idea.
00:18:04And she came here, didn't she?
00:18:07Obviously she wanted a man.
00:18:10Jesus.
00:18:13You're beyond saving.
00:18:18William?
00:18:36What did you do?
00:18:39What do you think I did?
00:18:41You were the one begging me last night, lawyer.
00:18:44What?
00:18:50Maybe I've been too nice to you.
00:18:55You!
00:18:56Taking advantage of someone like that?
00:18:59You're just like them!
00:19:01A pervert!
00:19:02And a total jerk!
00:19:07Sir, this lady's clothes are clean.
00:19:11What?
00:19:12You fanted yesterday.
00:19:13Sir asked me to help you change.
00:19:16Thanks.
00:19:19Sorry.
00:19:20I misjudged you.
00:19:23It's fine.
00:19:24I am a pervert.
00:19:25I am a pervert.
00:19:25And a jerk.
00:19:33What have I done?
00:19:40Sorry.
00:19:41I-I...
00:19:42You didn't misjudge me.
00:19:44I did want that.
00:19:46I just...
00:19:47couldn't.
00:19:49And next time...
00:19:50You might not be so lucky.
00:19:58Oh!
00:20:05Damn!
00:20:06Why can't I stop thinking about him?
00:20:10Who are you thinking about?
00:20:15Who are you thinking about?
00:20:16Oh!
00:20:17Nothing.
00:20:18James.
00:20:19W-what are you doing here?
00:20:21Court's about to start.
00:20:22Bet you haven't eaten.
00:20:23Beef sandwich?
00:20:25Thanks, darling.
00:20:35Any progress with William?
00:20:41No evidence.
00:20:42No agreement.
00:20:43No confession.
00:20:45Even William himself.
00:20:48What about him?
00:20:53Looks like he never planned to defend himself properly.
00:20:56Impossible.
00:20:57He's an heir.
00:20:59A whole Washington inheritance at stake.
00:21:03Brothers eyeing him?
00:21:06He must be out of his mind to skip defending himself.
00:21:09Yeah.
00:21:11You're right.
00:21:12Be patient with him.
00:21:14He's...
00:21:15Weird.
00:21:16But...
00:21:16You can manage.
00:21:19Weird.
00:21:20Not that weird.
00:21:22I thought you hated him.
00:21:27I...
00:21:29I don't know.
00:21:30Doesn't matter, darling.
00:21:33When this is over, I'll take leave.
00:21:37Spend time with you.
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:42Okay.
00:21:51Arthur.
00:21:52I need your help.
00:21:56Lawyer.
00:21:57I thought you'd be late.
00:22:00Hi, Mr. Astrid.
00:22:04What does this mean?
00:22:05What does this mean?
00:22:16Given your reputation, it's probably best we're not alone together, right?
00:22:21Just pretend I'm furniture. I won't say a word.
00:22:26Let's start from the beginning.
00:22:28On April 13th, you arranged to meet the plaintiff at a hotel?
00:22:31Correct.
00:22:32She arrived first.
00:22:34Blindfolded.
00:22:35Waiting for me.
00:22:36Then you entered the room?
00:22:38I did.
00:22:40We did exactly what we'd agreed to.
00:22:42Had a great time.
00:22:44Then afterward, she claimed I assaulted her?
00:22:48Did she ever say no?
00:22:50She did.
00:22:52But like what happened with you the other night, nobody would have taken it seriously.
00:22:56Whoa!
00:22:59I heard nothing.
00:23:01It was a misunderstanding.
00:23:03Then how do you tell the difference?
00:23:05A safe word.
00:23:07You had one?
00:23:09Yes. Beer.
00:23:12So she said no.
00:23:14She said stop, but she never said beer?
00:23:19Exactly.
00:23:20Right.
00:23:21I should get going.
00:23:22Got a meeting.
00:23:23Lawyer, there's no need to stress.
00:23:24Even if you lose, my family can afford the settlement.
00:23:30Mr. Astor, do you know why I'm the most expensive lawyer at this firm?
00:23:35Hmm?
00:23:36Because you get what you pay for.
00:23:44Hop in. Your chauffeur has arrived.
00:23:55Come on.
00:23:57I'm not the driver.
00:24:01You really don't have to drive me yourself.
00:24:04I know.
00:24:04I want to, Alice.
00:24:12Let me double check.
00:24:13During your session with that girl, did she ever use the safe word?
00:24:18No.
00:24:19Not once.
00:24:21But in her statement, she says it happened many times.
00:24:26Did you get the safe word wrong?
00:24:29A good Dom never gets the safe word wrong.
00:24:32I'm sure.
00:24:34Not once.
00:24:35Can I trust you?
00:24:42You can trust me.
00:24:44Always.
00:24:49I'll go first.
00:24:51Park the car, then find me.
00:24:53Alright.
00:24:59Boss.
00:25:00Does she really stand a chance in court?
00:25:04I don't need to win.
00:25:07But now everyone's saying.
00:25:09Celebrity criminal.
00:25:10I know.
00:25:11The mess makes it fun.
00:25:13After all, this was my brother's trap.
00:25:15A wounded beast makes everyone drop their guard, right?
00:25:19But that lawyer.
00:25:21A good hunter needs patience.
00:25:26Ready.
00:25:27Let's go in.
00:25:31Why do you have that?
00:25:33You'll see.
00:25:46William, did you claim it was just kink to cover intentional harm?
00:25:48Why defend guys in court?
00:25:50Tough day at work, huh?
00:25:58I was terrified.
00:26:00I screamed the safe word so many times.
00:26:02But he didn't stop.
00:26:05I thought I...
00:26:07I was going to die.
00:26:09Outrageous!
00:26:09Rich people can't just get away with this!
00:26:11Poor girl!
00:26:12That bastard toyed with her!
00:26:16Don't worry.
00:26:17Trust me.
00:26:22Ladies and gentlemen.
00:26:24This isn't kink!
00:26:26It's deliberate abuse!
00:26:28It's almost murder!
00:26:30Look at him!
00:26:32No remorse at all!
00:26:39Your Honor, the plaintiff is lying.
00:26:42Here's my evidence.
00:26:49What exactly are you implying?
00:26:54One week before your hotel meeting, you and Mr. Astor agreed on a safe word by text.
00:27:00Beer.
00:27:01Correct?
00:27:02Yes.
00:27:04But that doesn't matter!
00:27:05I said it over and over!
00:27:06He kept hurting me!
00:27:07Except Mr. Astor has a habit.
00:27:10He chooses words his partners don't normally use.
00:27:14Mr. Astor comes from old money.
00:27:16He doesn't even drink beer.
00:27:17But you...
00:27:19You're a bartender.
00:27:23So tell me...
00:27:25If you agreed to the rule, why did you change the word?
00:27:29Wow.
00:27:30You've been studying.
00:27:32I...
00:27:32I forgot.
00:27:33No.
00:27:34It's because you weren't actually playing by those rules.
00:27:36You had no reason to follow them.
00:27:38No.
00:27:39I was inexperienced.
00:27:41I didn't understand.
00:27:42So what?
00:27:43He still hurt me!
00:27:44That's the truth!
00:27:45He's a bastard!
00:27:47Then why choose him?
00:27:49You barely knew him.
00:27:51I...
00:27:53He manipulated me.
00:27:54Or was it because he was rich?
00:27:59Rich.
00:27:59Rich enough to pay off your gambling debts.
00:28:01Right?
00:28:02Bitch!
00:28:03How dare you investigate me!
00:28:13I'll ask one last time.
00:28:16Did you actually say the safe word?
00:28:25Your Honor.
00:28:26No further questions.
00:28:28I barely gave her any evidence.
00:28:31And somehow...
00:28:32She still pulled it off.
00:28:34That is my lawyer.
00:29:00What do you say to...
00:29:04Author pig!
00:29:05Vehicle originally opened his mouth.
00:29:05Listen up! We won the first hearing, so enough.
00:29:09Stop the personal attacks.
00:29:12People have the right to live their lives however they choose.
00:29:16If you keep being this irresistible, I'm going to have a hard time behaving myself.
00:29:22You shut up too.
00:29:39Hey.
00:29:42Where are we going?
00:29:43Just this once. Come for a drive with me.
00:29:47And after today I'll never bother you again.
00:29:50Really?
00:29:58Really?
00:29:59Yes.
00:30:01You can go back to your life now.
00:30:05Alright.
00:30:12William! You're going too fast!
00:30:15Hey! William! The car!
00:30:17What?
00:30:19Can't you see? We're out of gas!
00:30:25Usually there's a gas can in the car, right?
00:30:33No man taking a woman he likes for a drive ever remembers the gas can.
00:30:39You did this on purpose.
00:30:42Oops. You caught me.
00:30:44William, I'm married. You can't keep doing this.
00:30:48You mean...
00:30:48If you weren't married, it would be fine?
00:31:01William...
00:31:02Honestly, you're young, handsome, rich.
00:31:04You could have any woman...
00:31:06Or sub you want.
00:31:07And I've already found the best.
00:31:12That's not me.
00:31:14Alice, I admit, you're smarter than I expected.
00:31:17But when it comes to yourself, you're not entirely honest.
00:31:26No! We can't do this!
00:31:29No! We can't do this!
00:31:47Marcus will be here soon.
00:31:56You've got one thing wrong. I do drink beer.
00:31:59I didn't misunderstand, sir. That was... communication technique.
00:32:03Alright then.
00:32:04Celebrate.
00:32:05Our first victory.
00:32:07And our final night.
00:32:12Really?
00:32:14The last time?
00:32:21Yes, Alice.
00:32:22You can relax.
00:32:24Tonight...
00:32:25Just be yourself.
00:32:30Be myself?
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:32Not a wife. Not a lawyer.
00:32:35Just Alice.
00:32:36Just...
00:32:37Follow your own heart.
00:32:44Your scar?
00:32:45Is it from the club too?
00:32:49What? No, it's...
00:32:51My father.
00:32:53Your father?
00:32:54That kind, charitable man?
00:32:57Yes.
00:32:58On the surface.
00:33:00So that's how you became a Dom?
00:33:03Maybe.
00:33:04I'm not sure.
00:33:06So many people refuse to face their own desires hiding behind masks.
00:33:11Like my father.
00:33:14Like you.
00:33:15I've always wondered.
00:33:17Why were you so sure I was your kind of person?
00:33:20Your eyes.
00:33:22Pure, innocent, tired.
00:33:24From the first moment I saw you,
00:33:26I could feel your pain.
00:33:29Alice.
00:33:31I see you.
00:33:32Why not just let yourself relax?
00:33:37There's more?
00:33:40Ah!
00:33:45Here.
00:33:54Ah!
00:34:03May I?
00:34:04Follow my heart?
00:34:08A dom never asks.
00:34:13What am I even saying?
00:34:19I must be drunk.
00:34:24Breathe, Alice.
00:34:26Why did I listen to him without thinking?
00:34:29Why did it feel so easy?
00:34:31Relax, Alice.
00:34:33Stop fighting yourself.
00:34:34Just trust me.
00:34:36I'll take care of everything.
00:34:48Take them off.
00:34:50What?
00:34:51Don't ask.
00:34:52Don't think.
00:34:53Just do it.
00:34:57Yes, sir.
00:35:13So wet, Alice.
00:35:15You want me.
00:35:18Look at me, Alice.
00:35:20And tell me the truth.
00:35:22Do you really want tonight to be goodbye?
00:35:26Bye.
00:35:37You...
00:35:38You promised.
00:35:40Answer me.
00:35:42Alice.
00:35:48I...
00:35:48I don't want this to be the last time.
00:35:52Honest, good girl.
00:35:55You'll be rewarded.
00:36:10Here it comes again.
00:36:11That feeling.
00:36:13But now, I'm sure.
00:36:16I don't want to pull away.
00:36:18I don't want to pull away.
00:36:27You know the word if you want me to stop.
00:36:30And if you don't, I won't.
00:36:51You're finally home.
00:36:52I called you like 15 times.
00:37:06Thank you for bringing her home, Mr. Astor.
00:37:09Really.
00:37:10I appreciate it.
00:37:12No problem.
00:37:13See you around.
00:37:14See you around.
00:37:25Honey, once I finish this project, that bank president position is mine.
00:37:32It's all because of you.
00:37:33You won that case.
00:37:37Next Friday, there's a finance gala at the Wald.
00:37:40Everyone who's anyone in New York finance will be there.
00:37:43That's where they'll announce my promotion.
00:37:46You have to come.
00:37:51I want them all to see how incredible my wife is.
00:38:04Okay.
00:38:05I love you, darling.
00:38:09Case closed.
00:38:10And William promised this would be the last time.
00:38:13I can't slip up again.
00:38:19The guys met at the Queen's Unyar Sparadalings that the Air Riffley deal a station as to tender dissension.
00:38:25Boss, your original plan was to ruin their reputation to keep the family off guard.
00:38:30But Alice won the first case.
00:38:32Public opinion swinging.
00:38:34Should we manage it?
00:38:37No.
00:38:40I underestimated her.
00:38:42I knew she was good.
00:38:44I didn't realize she'd be this good.
00:38:47But you promised not to...
00:38:50A true dom controls even when the sub isn't around.
00:38:55If you have to cage a bird, it was never yours to begin with.
00:39:00The ones that come back on their own, those are the interesting ones.
00:39:14And for winning the first case, I suppose a little reward is in order.
00:39:33These shoes are killing me.
00:39:36Hang in there.
00:39:37This is the most exclusive gala in New York.
00:39:39It's my first time here, too.
00:39:50This is my wife, Alice.
00:39:53She defended William Astor.
00:39:55And she won.
00:39:57He never called after that night.
00:40:00Everything went back to normal.
00:40:02So why does it feel like something's missing?
00:40:05Oh!
00:40:07Oh!
00:40:08Oh!
00:40:15Of course.
00:40:17A man like him is never alone.
00:40:19Wow.
00:40:20She's gorgeous, isn't she?
00:40:22Want to go say hi?
00:40:23No.
00:40:25The case is over.
00:40:27Fair enough.
00:40:29There are plenty of important people here tonight.
00:40:32Let's make the rounds.
00:40:41Alice, I've heard great things to rising stars.
00:40:46Have a drink with me.
00:40:48Come on, Alice.
00:40:50He's one of our biggest partners.
00:41:04A gentleman should never waste a perfectly good opportunity to play the hero.
00:41:19Oh, of course.
00:41:23The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Astor.
00:41:27So that's your husband?
00:41:29Lawyer?
00:41:30He doesn't seem very good at protecting you.
00:41:40Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our charity auction.
00:41:44Please hand your donation item to the nearest server.
00:41:47All proceeds will go to charity.
00:41:50Oh, no.
00:41:52Nobody told me there was an auction.
00:42:04Would this work?
00:42:06James, no.
00:42:08My mother gave me that pen when I became a lawyer.
00:42:11Relax.
00:42:12We'll buy it back later.
00:42:13Nobody's going to bid on some old pen.
00:42:16But...
00:42:20No buts.
00:42:25Let's get it back now, before the auction starts.
00:42:30Yeah, yeah, we will.
00:42:37What's going on up there?
00:42:40Somebody donated an old fountain pen.
00:42:45The crazy part?
00:42:47It's already up to $10 million.
00:42:49We're all trying to figure out who made it.
00:42:51Whoever it belonged to must be somebody important.
00:42:54$10 million?
00:43:02See?
00:43:03Someone bought it.
00:43:04Just let it go.
00:43:07We need to get it back.
00:43:09Get it back?
00:43:10The guy just spent $10 million on that pen.
00:43:13Come on.
00:43:14If Mr. Astor likes it, let him have it.
00:43:17Are you serious?
00:43:20That's the most important thing I own.
00:43:22I have to go on stage.
00:43:23I don't have time for this.
00:43:39William?
00:43:41Where are you?
00:43:43You chased me this time.
00:43:45I'd say that keeps me clear of our deal.
00:43:48William, that pen is mine.
00:43:50Will you sell it back to me?
00:43:51Of course.
00:43:52A gentleman doesn't keep what belongs to someone else.
00:43:56That said, I did just spend $10 million on it.
00:44:00How exactly do you plan on paying me back?
00:44:04I don't have that kind of money.
00:44:09You know I'm not asking for money.
00:44:15I don't have that kind of money.
00:44:25William, I'm not your toy.
00:44:27And you already have a date.
00:44:29Does that bother you?
00:44:30Lawyer, a man in my position, is expected to arrive with company.
00:44:35Though I'd much rather it were you.
00:44:38I...
00:44:38Did you miss me?
00:44:40These past few days?
00:44:42No, I didn't.
00:44:47Really, that's not what I'm seeing.
00:44:49Let's make a wager, lawyer.
00:44:51What kind of wager?
00:44:53If your husband doesn't come home tonight,
00:44:56come to my apartment.
00:44:58Agree to that,
00:44:59and this is yours again.
00:45:04And I'd like to thank my wife.
00:45:07She's an incredible attorney.
00:45:08And she just won the Astro case.
00:45:16Why did I agree to that bet?
00:45:18My husband is right here.
00:45:21Forget it.
00:45:21I'll just take James home.
00:45:27James,
00:45:29come home tonight.
00:45:30Please.
00:45:34Everything's over now.
00:45:35Come on.
00:45:36We need to go home.
00:45:38Right now.
00:45:39Why are you in such a hurry?
00:45:41Of course we're going home.
00:45:42I already promised you.
00:45:48What?
00:45:50Got it.
00:45:51I'm on my way.
00:45:53Who was that?
00:45:59Work.
00:45:59Look, I need to go in tonight.
00:46:03Hey, what's wrong?
00:46:03You want me to stay with you?
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:06Please, can you just come home tonight?
00:46:09Just tonight.
00:46:14I'm sorry, Alice.
00:46:17I promise, starting tomorrow, you'll have all my attention.
00:46:21Okay?
00:46:21No.
00:46:24No.
00:46:26James, you have to come home tonight.
00:46:28You promised.
00:46:29Alice, I'm your husband, not your client.
00:46:33You don't get to talk to me like that.
00:46:40Mrs. Carter, Mr. Astin sent me to pick you up.
00:46:45Oh, of course.
00:46:46What a surprise.
00:46:47It's him.
00:46:59It's him.
00:47:01You came.
00:47:09You know what?
00:47:10I was actually starting to believe you.
00:47:14Pulling strings to get my husband out of the way?
00:47:17That's how you plan to win?
00:47:18I came here to tell you it doesn't count.
00:47:23That night was a mistake.
00:47:25A complete mistake.
00:47:30And I will never give in to someone like you.
00:47:34Finished?
00:47:35Yes.
00:47:37I'm finished.
00:47:39Now what?
00:47:46Then come here.
00:48:03Someone's impatient.
00:48:07I've been thinking about you all night, baby.
00:48:12Your wife's at the same event, you know?
00:48:29Alice?
00:48:31Please.
00:48:32She's too busy celebrating herself.
00:48:35She wins one case and suddenly thinks she can tell me what to do.
00:48:39I'm sick of her acting like she's always right.
00:48:46Then why don't you divorce her?
00:48:50Not yet.
00:49:05Alice just won the Astor case.
00:49:07Her career's taking off.
00:49:08Now isn't the time.
00:49:13Trust me.
00:49:15Everything I have will be yours.
00:49:18As for that arrogant wife of mine,
00:49:21she can spend the rest of her nights alone.
00:49:24You're impossible.
00:49:26You're impossible.
00:49:32Clear enough now?
00:49:34I wasn't the one keeping your husband away.
00:49:36I'm sorry, William.
00:49:39Looks like I misjudged you.
00:49:42I should have seen it sooner.
00:49:45The signs were there all along.
00:49:47No.
00:49:49The fault isn't yours.
00:49:51He doesn't know how to value a woman.
00:49:53Especially one like you.
00:49:55A woman like you deserves an equal.
00:50:11As for things that don't fit,
00:50:14they should have been discarded a long time ago.
00:50:22Are you trying to seduce me?
00:50:24I'm inviting you.
00:50:30And if I still say no?
00:50:32Then I'll accept it.
00:50:35Lawyer,
00:50:37people misunderstand BDSM.
00:50:40They think it's about control.
00:50:42It's not.
00:50:43It's built on trust.
00:50:46And respect.
00:50:47Respect?
00:50:48Coming from you?
00:50:50Believe me or don't.
00:50:52But I've never wanted to force you into anything.
00:50:55I've only wanted you to see the truth.
00:50:58To find yourself.
00:51:04Now the choice is yours.
00:51:06Do you still want to hold on to that marriage?
00:51:09Or
00:51:12will you trust me completely?
00:51:20I'm not choosing either of you.
00:51:22I'm choosing myself.
00:51:24Good.
00:51:26Good.
00:51:27I respect that.
00:51:29But...
00:51:29Then what's the but?
00:51:37For tonight.
00:51:39Can you let me take care of you?
00:51:43You really don't know how to quit.
00:51:51This is your big plan?
00:51:53You brought me to an amusement park?
00:51:56You do realize they're closed at this hour, right?
00:52:10For you.
00:52:12Any hour of the day.
00:52:18No, William.
00:52:20I'm not a kid, alright?
00:52:21I'm 28.
00:52:24Sure you are.
00:52:26Oh my god!
00:52:28This is insane!
00:52:313 a.m.
00:52:32And here I am.
00:52:34A Cambridge grad
00:52:35handing out cotton candy?
00:52:37This world is officially nuts.
00:52:41Boss is too crazy.
00:52:44Love, man.
00:52:49Aren't we making it too hard on them?
00:52:52Oh, no.
00:52:53Whatever ride you choose tonight,
00:52:54the staff running it gets a month off.
00:52:56Paid.
00:52:57What?
00:52:58Come on!
00:52:59Ferris wheel!
00:53:00Ferris wheel!
00:53:01That's for six-year-olds!
00:53:02Pick the Roker coaster!
00:53:03You said you wanted to visit an amusement park.
00:53:05Huh?
00:53:06When did I say that?
00:53:07You must be mixing me up with some other girl.
00:53:10Nope.
00:53:10Not at all.
00:53:12Twelve years old?
00:53:13On your base book.
00:53:15Twelve years old?
00:53:19You went through my social media?
00:53:21Seriously?
00:53:22Is that a Dom thing?
00:53:26Do you mind?
00:53:29I should.
00:53:32Then why don't I?
00:53:35I'm curious about you, darling.
00:53:38I wanted to know everything about you.
00:53:40Maybe that's what love is.
00:53:42You call this love?
00:53:45Isn't it just control?
00:53:47Why can't you believe that control can come from love?
00:53:53Control from love?
00:54:00Tonight, thanks.
00:54:02But I should go.
00:54:04Sure.
00:54:05Marcus will see you out.
00:54:08And William,
00:54:10I'll deal with my marriage myself.
00:54:13Not because of you.
00:54:14Because of me.
00:54:17I know.
00:54:19Until I figure things out,
00:54:20don't contact me.
00:54:21Got it.
00:54:28And don't reach out to anyone else either.
00:54:31Of course.
00:54:32Only you.
00:54:37Morning, honey.
00:54:39Worked till 3 a.m. last night.
00:54:43What's wrong?
00:54:44James.
00:54:46We're getting a divorce.
00:54:48What?
00:54:50Divorce.
00:54:51Let me be crystal clear.
00:54:54Alice, are you crazy?
00:54:56I just got promoted to bank president.
00:54:58Do you know what divorce would do to my reputation?
00:55:00Your reputation?
00:55:02Are you clinging to a lawyer?
00:55:03Or are you clinging to me, James?
00:55:07But you are a lawyer.
00:55:10Babe, is this stress talking?
00:55:12Let's just talk it through.
00:55:13Do you even know my favorite color, James?
00:55:17I don't know.
00:55:18Maybe white?
00:55:22James, if the papers aren't signed within a day,
00:55:25I'll take you to court.
00:55:26But a word of advice.
00:55:28Don't mess with a lawyer in her courtroom.
00:55:33Hey!
00:55:33Alice, what the hell are you doing?
00:55:49Alice, Williams' client filed a follow-up lawsuit.
00:55:53And Mr. Ast is here, waiting for you.
00:55:56This early?
00:55:59You're here, Alice.
00:56:01This is Mr. Astor, Williams' father, and his brother.
00:56:04They're here about Williams' case.
00:56:07I know.
00:56:08Don't worry.
00:56:09I'll win this.
00:56:10Even a second lawsuit can't overturn the verdict.
00:56:13Alice, stop this lawsuit.
00:56:16Now.
00:56:20Stop?
00:56:21Why?
00:56:22I'd rather the world know Williams' a bad man than let anyone know the Astor family has a pervert.
00:56:30Just because of that?
00:56:31He's been accused of things he never did, and you, his father, only care about the family name.
00:56:35Yes, ma'am.
00:56:36And I don't owe you an explanation.
00:56:39Then, Mr. Astor, I'll never abandon my client.
00:56:43Alice, are you crazy?
00:56:44You agreed before because of the Astor family.
00:56:46Now the real power is here.
00:56:48Just do as they say.
00:56:49But I'm a lawyer.
00:56:54Then you're already unfit to be one.
00:56:58Wait!
00:56:59Mr. Astor!
00:57:02Alice, you fell for my brother, didn't you?
00:57:06My brother, he has that effect.
00:57:09Makes women fall for him.
00:57:11You're not the first.
00:57:12But I thought you were smarter.
00:57:15What's that supposed to mean?
00:57:18William, he just enjoys controlling women.
00:57:21He doesn't take responsibility.
00:57:28Is that so?
00:57:30I remember you, sir.
00:57:32You were there the first day William had his hearing.
00:57:34The plaintiff knew you, right?
00:57:35And the fact that you came to me proves one thing.
00:57:39William values me?
00:57:43Smart, but way too confident.
00:57:51What exactly are you implying?
00:57:53I can offer triple the price for you to drop William's case.
00:58:02Sir, you're underestimating me.
00:58:08Keep the photo as a warning.
00:58:20What's wrong, Alice?
00:58:23I need an honest answer.
00:58:27Go ahead.
00:58:32Who is this?
00:58:39Who gave this to you?
00:58:40I asked first.
00:58:44Emily.
00:58:45She was my former sub.
00:58:49You hurt her?
00:58:51Broke your rules?
00:58:53No.
00:59:01Two years ago, we had a meeting.
00:59:04I bailed.
00:59:05And she disappeared.
00:59:08Do you have any proof?
00:59:11None.
00:59:12Then I think we know who did it.
00:59:15Sebastian showed his hand too soon.
00:59:17He's getting desperate.
00:59:19Will she show up in the second trial?
00:59:21If she testifies you abused her.
00:59:25I'd lose?
00:59:26Only if we don't find Emily first.
00:59:33Lawyer.
00:59:35Do you trust me?
00:59:36I trust the evidence.
00:59:39Coming!
00:59:40Coming!
00:59:44Alice!
00:59:45What the hell is this divorce notice?
00:59:49I already told you.
00:59:50You're serious?
00:59:51Have you lost your mind?
00:59:53We've been married for five years!
00:59:56Who do you think is gonna want you now?
00:59:57That's none of your business.
00:59:59You can't do this!
01:00:03Do you have any idea what I sacrificed to get where I am?
01:00:06And now you suddenly want a divorce?
01:00:09Sacrificed what?
01:00:11Your secretary probably knows the answer better than I do.
01:00:15What are you talking about?
01:00:27This is why?
01:00:29Baby, you know you're the only one I love.
01:00:32I want a clean divorce.
01:00:34I won't expose you.
01:00:36But if you try to stop me,
01:00:38I'll make sure the entire country knows exactly who you are.
01:00:46How dare you, Alice!
01:00:47Maybe it's your fault, Miss Independent, huh?
01:00:50You're just a bitch who couldn't keep her husband!
01:01:00Come in.
01:01:02Are you okay?
01:01:06I don't know.
01:01:08Feels like nobody's asked me that in a very long time.
01:01:12Alice.
01:01:14What do you want?
01:01:16Please.
01:01:17Don't make me think.
01:01:24Then let me carry it for you.
01:01:27Yes, sir.
01:01:31Close your eyes.
01:01:33Breathe deeply.
01:01:38Tell me.
01:01:39Tell me.
01:01:40What scares you?
01:01:41Losing control.
01:01:43Being abandoned.
01:01:44Being unwanted.
01:01:45Those fears, they don't exist here.
01:01:48You are needed.
01:01:49You are held.
01:01:51You won't lose control.
01:01:52This, this is that feeling.
01:01:55Pure calm.
01:01:56Like finally being pulled out of the water after drowning.
01:01:59Kiss me, Alice.
01:02:05You did very well.
01:02:17No need to thank me.
01:02:19You were just too tired.
01:02:21Alice.
01:02:22Have a seat.
01:02:24How's prep for the second trial coming along?
01:02:27I have a new angle.
01:02:30Now we just need to find one witness.
01:02:32Oh?
01:02:33Who?
01:02:37Emily.
01:02:43Sebastian controls 60% of the voting shares in the Astor Group.
01:02:46If you make an enemy of him, Arthur winning this case is the only way forward.
01:02:52Alice, you're very smart.
01:02:54Sometimes smart people are the easiest to manipulate.
01:02:56William, maybe he's using you.
01:02:59In this case, he's my client.
01:03:01That's enough for me.
01:03:02Fair enough.
01:03:04I respect that.
01:03:13Mr. Sebastian.
01:03:15There's something you should know.
01:03:17I hear your wife wants a divorce.
01:03:19She's...
01:03:20She's just acting on impulse.
01:03:22James, you're a smart man.
01:03:24The Astor family didn't help you become bank president because you're exceptional.
01:03:28We did it because your wife was handling our case.
01:03:30Now she stopped cooperating.
01:03:32Do you really think that chair still belongs to you?
01:03:36Mr. Sebastian.
01:03:38I'll do whatever you want.
01:03:41I thought you might.
01:03:42You know what needs to be done.
01:03:45Alice.
01:03:46Don't make me do this.
01:03:50Found Emily.
01:03:58Emily?
01:03:59Can I have five minutes?
01:04:01Of course.
01:04:02You can wait for me in the lounge.
01:04:08So, what can I do for you?
01:04:12I'm William's attorney.
01:04:17I came to find out what really happened to you.
01:04:20Why did you disappear without a word?
01:04:23I was kidnapped.
01:04:24What?
01:04:25By who?
01:04:26You're making a mistake.
01:04:28You shouldn't be going up against the Astor family.
01:04:31What does that mean?
01:04:35Oh, what's happening?
01:04:37My head.
01:04:39I'm sorry.
01:04:42Don't blame me.
01:04:44I can't afford to make enemies of the Astrons.
01:04:49Alice!
01:04:50Alice!
01:04:51Clear the place.
01:04:53Now.
01:04:55Now.
01:05:01Sebastian.
01:05:03Little brother.
01:05:05It's late.
01:05:09What can I do for you?
01:05:13Where is she?
01:05:17Who?
01:05:21Don't test me.
01:05:23Warehouse at the docks.
01:05:24D7.
01:05:25Little brother.
01:05:26Get there fast.
01:05:28Not sure those guys have a light touch.
01:05:31Ducks.
01:05:32Now.
01:05:40Where am I?
01:05:45Miss Lawyer.
01:05:46Sorry for the poor hospitality.
01:05:49Kidnapping a lawyer?
01:05:51Do you even know what crime that is?
01:05:55Crime?
01:05:57Astors don't commit crimes.
01:05:59My brother is the exception.
01:06:01He's too naive.
01:06:03What exactly do you want?
01:06:05Simple.
01:06:07Tomorrow's trial, you don't show.
01:06:11Case dismissed by default.
01:06:12William loses.
01:06:13You take this, and vanish.
01:06:18You think money fixes everything?
01:06:21Just like your brother said.
01:06:24I'm not him.
01:06:27Right.
01:06:28You're more cowardly.
01:06:31Do you know who left the scars on William?
01:06:35Our father.
01:06:39William was born a defiant monster.
01:06:42You think he loves you?
01:06:43He just needs something to control.
01:06:54Sir, you can't...
01:07:07Did they hurt you?
01:07:11The hero saves the girl.
01:07:14Classic.
01:07:28William, he's not worth it.
01:07:31See you in court, Mr. Astor.
01:07:37I've got you.
01:07:55Father, you wanted to see me?
01:07:58Neil.
01:08:06Father, I...
01:08:07You laid a hand on William's lawyer.
01:08:10She...
01:08:11She was a threat.
01:08:13She was going to help William win.
01:08:19I was trying to protect the family's reputation.
01:08:22Protect it?
01:08:24You personally kidnapped a woman,
01:08:27and you think that's not a disgrace?
01:08:29Father, I...
01:08:37Remember this, Sebastian.
01:08:39In this family,
01:08:41I'm the only one who decides what winning looks like.
01:08:44Y-yes, father.
01:08:59What time is it?
01:09:02Four in the morning.
01:09:03The hearing's at nine.
01:09:05You're not setting foot in that courtroom.
01:09:12I have to.
01:09:14You were drugged, kidnapped, and you're still hurt.
01:09:17If I don't show up, the case dies.
01:09:19You lose by default.
01:09:21That's exactly what Sebastian wants.
01:09:26I'm not giving him that.
01:09:29You know that?
01:09:31You're the most stubborn woman I've ever met.
01:09:34That's why you hired me, isn't it?
01:09:39After this,
01:09:41no matter what happens,
01:09:42you're not getting hurt again.
01:09:44Yes, sir.
01:09:48Call Kelly.
01:09:50Have her bring my suit for court.
01:10:12The second hearing is now in session.
01:10:15Does the plaintiff have any new evidence or witnesses?
01:10:20Your Honor, we have critical new evidence.
01:10:24A video testimony from William Astor's former partner,
01:10:27Emily Walker.
01:10:33Stay calm.
01:10:34Let me handle this.
01:10:38William, he's not who you think he is.
01:10:41He completely lost control.
01:10:43I said the safe word.
01:10:44He didn't stop.
01:10:46I almost died.
01:10:54Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
01:10:56this is not the first victim.
01:10:58William Astor exhibits systematic violent tendency.
01:11:04Your Honor, I challenge the authenticity of this evidence.
01:11:08I request that Emily Walker appear in court to testify.
01:11:11A video alone cannot serve as direct evidence
01:11:14unless she is here to face questioning.
01:11:20William Astor brings in court to the right.
01:11:21The first victim of law,
01:11:22The second victim of law,
01:11:40Lawyer, what exactly are you doing?
01:11:43I was checking for new injuries.
01:11:47Occupational hazard.
01:11:50You know, your ears turn red when you lie.
01:11:56Give me a week. I'll find Emily.
01:12:02Alice.
01:12:05James.
01:12:09I'm not signing the divorce papers.
01:12:11Then I'll see you in court.
01:12:15Will you? You sure about that?
01:12:19Remind me, what does the Bar Association call it when an attorney sleeps with a client?
01:12:25Professional misconduct. You could lose your license.
01:12:29Where did you get that?
01:12:31Take a guess. Drop the divorce. Walk away from William's case.
01:12:40James threatened.
01:12:47Sebastian. I should have killed him when I had the chance.
01:12:51William, listen to me.
01:12:53If you solve this with power and violence, then you become exactly what they say you are.
01:12:57And Sebastian wins.
01:13:01Use the law.
01:13:17William, if I help you win this fight, what are you going to do with me?
01:13:23That depends.
01:13:25What do you want me to do with you?
01:13:31Let's win first.
01:13:38Now tell me where Emily was last seen.
01:13:41I have three days to find her.
01:13:53Emily, I'm not here to force you.
01:13:56How did you find me?
01:13:58I'm a lawyer. Finding people is kind of my job.
01:14:03That night at the bar, you drugged me.
01:14:08I'm sorry. I had no choice.
01:14:11They said if I didn't cooperate...
01:14:13What exactly did Sebastian threaten you with?
01:14:16I have a child.
01:14:19Emily, listen to me.
01:14:21I know you're scared.
01:14:23But if you speak up and tell the truth, I promise, your child will be safe.
01:14:31Why? Why are you helping me?
01:14:34Because you're like me.
01:14:37Neither of us should be someone else's pawn.
01:14:39I'll testify.
01:14:40But I have one condition.
01:14:43What is it?
01:14:44I want to see Sebastian's face in person when he hears the truth.
01:14:57Call the witness, Emily Walker.
01:15:07Mrs. Walker, please tell the court what William Astor did to you.
01:15:15He...
01:15:16He...
01:15:19William never hurt me.
01:15:25What?
01:15:26But in the video, you clearly said...
01:15:29That video was recorded under coercion.
01:15:35The man who forced me to make it...
01:15:39is sitting right there.
01:15:46That's a lie.
01:15:49Order! Order in the court!
01:15:51Your Honor, the witness has clearly been bribed by the defense.
01:16:02Your Honor, I'd like to report attorney misconduct.
01:16:06Defense lawyer Alice Winsley is involved in a romantic relationship with the defendant.
01:16:10She has no business representing William Astor.
01:16:17Ms. Winslow, how do you respond to this allegation?
01:16:28Your Honor, I admit that during the course of this case...
01:16:39But every piece of evidence I've submitted to this court is authentic.
01:16:44My feelings do not change the facts.
01:16:47The wire transfers are real.
01:16:49The surveillance footage is real.
01:16:51Emily's testimony is real.
01:16:54Ladies and gentlemen, today you're not here to judge my relationship with anyone.
01:16:58You're here to decide whether a man is guilty.
01:17:02Look at the evidence.
01:17:04Not the gossip.
01:17:07Your Honor, BDSM is not a crime.
01:17:09Convicting someone because of prejudice is.
01:17:15The jury will now retire to deliberate.
01:17:27You did it.
01:17:30Not yet.
01:17:35When this is all over,
01:17:38will you take me to your club?
01:17:43When this is all over,
01:17:45will you take me to your club?
01:17:47Okay.
01:17:48Every day I'd put on my makeup,
01:17:50get dressed,
01:17:52win cases,
01:17:53be the perfect wife,
01:17:54like some machine.
01:17:57I was exhausted.
01:18:01And then?
01:18:02Then you showed up.
01:18:04You made me realize
01:18:06I'm still alive.
01:18:07Pain means I'm alive.
01:18:09Anger means I'm alive.
01:18:10Missing you,
01:18:10that means I'm alive too.
01:18:15Welcome back, Alice.
01:18:22The jury has reached a verdict.
01:18:24Please return to the courtroom.
01:18:30No matter what happens,
01:18:33thank you for helping me find myself again.

01:18:59Furthermore,

01:19:01Sebastian Astin

01:19:04for investigation
01:19:05into alleged evidence
01:19:07tappering,
01:19:07obstruction of justice,
01:19:09and unlaw imprisonment.
01:19:16You won this round,
01:19:18but you really think it's over?
01:19:19Brother,
01:19:20you should worry more
01:19:21about what dad's going to do to you.
01:19:34You think you've won?
01:19:38Did you sign the divorce papers?
01:19:41I'm not going to make this easy for you, Alice.
01:19:44You ruined me.
01:19:46No, James.
01:19:47You ruined yourself.
01:19:51And what do you think you are?
01:19:52Just another toy for a rich man?
01:19:54He'll get bored of you soon enough.
01:19:56This is the court's mediation notice.
01:19:58You can sign,
01:19:59or we can take this to court.
01:20:01But if I were you,
01:20:02I'd sign,
01:20:02because once we're in court,
01:20:03your affair becomes public record.
01:20:06You'll regret this.
01:20:17First time seeing you dress like a normal person.
01:20:20Because today,
01:20:21I'm not a lawyer.
01:20:27You sure?
01:20:29Once you step into this,
01:20:31I won't let you walk away easily.
01:20:33I have one condition.
01:20:35And that is?
01:20:37In life,
01:20:39we are absolutely equal.
01:20:42That's not a condition, Alice.
01:20:44That's your right.
01:20:49Bedtime exceptions apply.
01:20:58CEO Aster,
01:21:00you give a plant as a grand opening gift?

01:21:06Thought it fits your fresh start.
01:21:08Need a legal advisor, too?
01:21:10That's pricey, you know?
01:21:15My whole life's yours.
01:21:17Enough?
01:21:21Deal.
01:21:23You give a plant as a grand opening gift.
