00:00:00There's a grace in the car!
00:00:01I'm innocent.
00:00:02You almost killed our daughter!
00:00:04Mommy!
00:00:05We've been married for seven years. You know I didn't do this.
00:00:08You drugged me.
00:00:10You have to believe me, I didn't do this.
00:00:12We broke her heart, mocked her, and then sent her straight to jail!
00:00:18It's time for Ethan to find out who I really am.
00:00:20I'm a better woman for him, not you.
00:00:23Mommy!
00:00:24I'm going to take back my daughter.
00:00:26You were my best friend, bitch!
00:00:28But I'm going to take back my name.
00:00:31It's time they met the one and only Carrington Heiress.
00:00:36Who is this secret heiress that gave up this family fortune for seven years?
00:00:43Open your eyes, see exactly who I am.
00:00:46Nicole, you were born a queen.
00:00:49And queens never cry.
00:00:58Mommy?
00:01:00Mommy!
00:01:04Mommy?
00:01:05Mommy!
00:01:06Mommy...
00:01:07Mommy!
00:01:08Mommy!
00:01:09Mommy! Mommy!
00:01:30Drink up, bitch.
00:01:33Oh, Nicole. Always the perfect mother.
00:01:37Now you're just a drunk bitch.
00:01:39Sorry, bestie.
00:01:40Your man's about to get the biggest deal of his life.
00:01:43So now I want him.
00:01:45You left his kid to roast in a car.
00:01:49I wonder what Ethan will think.
00:01:51Ethan? Oh, my God.
00:01:53You have to come home right away.
00:01:56Nicole is drunk, and she locked Grace in the car,
00:01:59and I can't find the key anywhere.
00:02:04No.
00:02:09Next night,
00:02:20if you didn't break the car window in time,
00:02:24Grace could have died.
00:02:27Sorry you got hurt.
00:02:28No.
00:02:29It doesn't matter as long as Grace is okay.
00:02:34I still have use of this little brat,
00:02:36but once I become her stepmother,
00:02:39I'll get rid of her.
00:02:41Grace.
00:02:43Grace, I'll let go.
00:02:44Hey, Mommy's here. Mommy's here.
00:02:48How dare you have the fucking audacity
00:02:53to show up here, Nicole?
00:02:55You almost killed our daughter.
00:02:59What?
00:02:59You forgot our daughter
00:03:01in this fucking heat
00:03:03while you were passed out on the couch drunk.
00:03:08No.
00:03:09I didn't.
00:03:11We've been married for seven years.
00:03:13You know that I barely drink.
00:03:14I didn't...
00:03:16No, I went to the grocery store with Grace,
00:03:18and then we came home in a lane.
00:03:24It was you.
00:03:26You drugged me.
00:03:28That glass of water that you gave me,
00:03:29that's the last thing I remember.
00:03:31Why would you do this?
00:03:32Nicole,
00:03:33I'm your best friend.
00:03:35I just...
00:03:36I just came by to bring you some documents.
00:03:38That's when I saw Nicole on the couch.
00:03:42I'm crazy in the car.
00:03:44I couldn't find the keys anywhere.
00:03:45I just broke the window.
00:03:47I was to do...
00:03:48You get off of my husband!
00:03:52You're lying.
00:03:53You're a liar.
00:03:55Ethan, you can see that I'm being set up
00:03:57right now, right?
00:04:02You're my husband.
00:04:03Why...
00:04:04Why are you believing her over me?
00:04:07Enough.
00:04:08I can smell the alcohol in your breath.
00:04:11Why would Elaine want to frame you?
00:04:13What does she have to gain from this?
00:04:18See?
00:04:19See?
00:04:20You have nothing to say.
00:04:22Please, Ethan.
00:04:25I love Gracie with my whole heart,
00:04:28with everything that I have.
00:04:29You know me.
00:04:31I would never do something like that.
00:04:33Gracie, I...
00:04:34I love you, baby.
00:04:35I only believe what I see.
00:04:40I already called the cops, Nicole.
00:04:43I want you to repent in jail
00:04:44and learn your lesson.
00:04:47What you did
00:04:48is not only a crime,
00:04:51but also unforgivable
00:04:52as a mother.
00:04:57You're sending me to jail right now?
00:04:59Away?
00:05:00Away from you and Gracie?
00:05:02Let's go.
00:05:03No.
00:05:04No, you have to listen to me.
00:05:05You have to believe me.
00:05:06I didn't do this.
00:05:07Gracie, baby, I'm ready.
00:05:09Gracie.
00:05:11Ethan.
00:05:13No.
00:05:19I gave up everything
00:05:25to be with you, Ethan.
00:05:27Was my dad right?
00:05:30Was this...
00:05:32was us...
00:05:33just a big mistake?
00:05:36It's been a long day.
00:05:39Here, drink this.
00:05:41It'll help you sleep.
00:05:42I'm gonna check on Gracie
00:05:44and then I'll head home.
00:05:45Thanks, Elaine.
00:05:46I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:05:48Hey, you're my boss.
00:05:49Anything for you.
00:05:50Don't sell yourself short.
00:05:52You know you're more like family.
00:06:01Wait.
00:06:02Wait.
00:06:06No, no, no, no.
00:06:10I'm innocent.
00:06:11I swear.
00:06:11Save it for the judge.
00:06:19I stopped talking to my own father
00:06:22because of Ethan.
00:06:24The man who put me behind bars.
00:06:27What should I do?
00:06:29Good afternoon, nice character.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:39What?
00:06:41My daughter's in jail?
00:06:44Sarah, get me Damon Hawthorne.
00:06:45He's the best lawyer in L.A.
00:06:46And find out what jail she's in
00:06:49now.
00:06:49Mr. Hawthorne, I'm Sarah Sandoval,
00:07:04executive assistant to Max Carrington.
00:07:06It seems Nicole has found her way
00:07:07into prison by way of Mr. Ethan Carter.
00:07:10Had I known your husband was a prick,
00:07:12Nicole, I never would have let you go.
00:07:14Do you think he can help us bring her home?
00:07:17I'm on it.
00:07:18Ethan.
00:07:25Don't touch him.
00:07:26Sit your ass down.
00:07:30Ethan.
00:07:33Will you please just pay my bail?
00:07:36Let me go home to Gracie, okay?
00:07:38I mean, come on, you've had time to think about this.
00:07:40You know I didn't do this.
00:07:41What I know, Nicole,
00:07:43is that our daughter
00:07:44almost died
00:07:46because you
00:07:47were passed out
00:07:49on the couch
00:07:50drunk.
00:07:52Tell me
00:07:52how else it happened, huh?
00:07:54Elaine.
00:07:55She drugged
00:07:57and she framed me.
00:08:00Stop
00:08:00blaming
00:08:01Elaine.
00:08:03She has been nothing
00:08:04but kind to you
00:08:05all these years.
00:08:07While she and I
00:08:08were slaving away at work,
00:08:09you've been living as this
00:08:10picture-perfect
00:08:11Beverly Hills housewife.
00:08:13You had one job.
00:08:14Take care, Gracie.
00:08:15And you couldn't even
00:08:16do that right.
00:08:17Wow.
00:08:19That's what I want
00:08:20to think of me?
00:08:24Nicole,
00:08:25I just want to...
00:08:26Why did you bring Elaine here?
00:08:35Nicole,
00:08:36I'm really worried about you.
00:08:39Ethan and I both have.
00:08:41I should have known
00:08:44you were a homewrecker.
00:08:46What?
00:08:47I would never do that.
00:08:49Huh, Nicole?
00:08:50What did I ever do
00:08:52to make you hate me
00:08:53this much?
00:08:54What happened to you,
00:08:56Nicole?
00:08:57You used to be so kind,
00:08:59so gentle.
00:09:01This past year,
00:09:02you've changed.
00:09:06You have no idea
00:09:07what kind of sacrifices
00:09:08I've made for you.
00:09:09It's Carrington Enterprise.
00:09:13I have to take this.
00:09:16Carrington Enterprise?
00:09:18That's my family's business.
00:09:20Why are they calling Ethan?
00:09:24I fucked your husband
00:09:25last night.
00:09:28Just thought you should know.
00:09:30And you know what
00:09:31Ethan said?
00:09:33He said I was
00:09:35the best he's ever had.
00:09:38You know,
00:09:38I'm a better woman
00:09:39for him.
00:09:40Not you.
00:09:45You took my husband
00:09:47and my daughter
00:09:49from me!
00:09:49You were my best friend,
00:09:51bitch!
00:10:00Here.
00:10:01Drink this.
00:10:03It'll help you sleep.
00:10:03Wait.
00:10:10Wait.
00:10:11Do you think
00:10:12I was too harsh
00:10:13on Nicole
00:10:15to send her to jail?
00:10:19I think
00:10:20we should let
00:10:21the court decide.
00:10:22I love Nicole,
00:10:25but what she did
00:10:26was a crime.
00:10:28Nicole has no money.
00:10:30She can't even
00:10:30afford an attorney.
00:10:31Maybe I should
00:10:35pay her bail
00:10:37and
00:10:38drop the case.
00:10:42I knew this was
00:10:43going to happen.
00:10:45That's why
00:10:45there's always
00:10:46a plan B.
00:10:46going to be.
00:11:02Troy Paul.

00:11:40Let the guards
00:11:41deal with her.
00:11:42Nicole,

00:56:53was framed,
00:56:55when I was beaten
00:56:57in that prison.
00:56:59When you
00:57:01threw me away.
00:57:03I didn't see any
00:57:05love in you then.
00:57:07I made a mistake.
00:57:09But I can right
00:57:11my wrongs with love.
00:57:13Please.
00:57:15Nicole!
00:57:21Cold.
00:57:23Right?
00:57:25How's that feel? Does it hurt?
00:57:27You may be able to get rid of the stain
00:57:29even, but are you ever gonna actually
00:57:31forget that feeling?
00:57:33That humiliation?
00:57:34No. Right?
00:57:35Cool.
00:57:37I will make you come back to me.
00:57:39Mark my words.
00:57:45If I want something, I'll get it.
00:57:47As long as we have a tie, you'll come back to my side.
00:57:49Oh.
00:57:51What do you two want?
00:57:53Sorry I didn't bring any coffee for you today.
00:57:55Oh, you've misunderstood, Miss Carrington.
00:57:57We're just delivering a message for Ethan.
00:57:59He would like to see you in the conference room.
00:58:01Okay.
00:58:02You're here.
00:58:03What is going on?
00:58:04Don't try to be mysterious.
00:58:05I do not have time for this right now, okay?
00:58:07Don't worry, this is a workplace.
00:58:10I'm not gonna do anything bad.
00:58:12I'm not gonna do anything bad.
00:58:14That's okay.
00:58:15I'm gonna do it.
00:58:16Oh, you've misunderstood, Miss Carrington.
00:58:17We're just delivering a message for Ethan.
00:58:18He would like to see you in the conference room.
00:58:19Okay?
00:58:20You're here.
00:58:22What is going on?
00:58:24Don't try to be mysterious.
00:58:25I do not have time for this right now, okay?
00:58:26Don't worry.
00:58:27This is a workplace.
00:58:28I'm not going to do anything bad.
00:58:42Nicole.
00:58:43I know you didn't trust me when I said I'm willing to give up all my money just to win
00:58:49you back.
00:58:53So here it is.
00:58:54Every cent I have.
00:58:58For you.
00:58:59Wow.
00:59:11I made a mistake.
00:59:13I hurt you.
00:59:14Mm-hmm.
00:59:15I abandoned you.
00:59:20All my cards are here on the table.
00:59:22All I ask is to have another chance to win you back.
00:59:28All your money.
00:59:31That is all of your cards on the table.
00:59:35Please, Nicole.
00:59:37I know you don't understand.
00:59:38I was sick of being poor, being a nobody, so money was important to me.
00:59:49For you, I'm willing to give it all up.
00:59:54Can we start over?
00:59:56Think about what we've been through.
00:59:59Think about grace.
01:00:00I think we both know that this is not near enough money to make me forgive you.
01:00:07Looks like you are trying to start a fire.
01:00:12So you feel it too, huh?
01:00:15The passion?
01:00:16Feel it, definitely.
01:00:18Um, what do you say we, um, make this more exciting?
01:00:25Isn't that a little too much?
01:00:27No.
01:00:30Come on.
01:00:32We used to do this all the time, didn't we?
01:00:35We used to be young and wild and fun.
01:00:40Hot.
01:00:41Yeah, hot.
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:44You want my forgiveness?
01:00:46Uh-huh.
01:00:46Mm-hmm.
01:00:49Earn it.
01:00:52I'll do whatever you want, baby.
01:00:54All right.
01:00:55Oh, yeah.
01:00:56Oh, you already know.
01:00:58My brother relaxed.
01:01:00Oh, yeah.
01:01:02This is what I'm talking.
01:01:04Oh, wow.
01:01:05You take charge, yeah?
01:01:07Yeah, yeah.
01:01:08Damien's could suck it, huh?
01:01:10Mm-hmm.
01:01:11Oh, honey.
01:01:14Nicole.
01:01:14Ha, ha, ha.
01:01:25Fuck.
01:01:27Nicole!
01:01:30I thought we had a meeting right now.
01:01:32Yeah, yeah, we do.
01:01:33You guys can go ahead and head in.
01:01:34I just kind of grab something.
01:01:36Oh, fuck.
01:01:57Fuck.
01:01:58What are you looking at?
01:02:00Everybody out!
01:02:02Get out!
01:02:02Wait, wait, wait, wait, fuck!
01:02:07I need the key.
01:02:08I need the fucking key.
01:02:10Damien!
01:02:11Damien.
01:02:12I need the key!
01:02:14Damien!
01:02:15I need the key!
01:02:28He didn't try anything, did he?
01:02:30No, look, God, no.
01:02:31I'm always on my guard around him.
01:02:34Mr. Attorney, my ex-husband just harassed me in my workplace.
01:02:38Would you mind calling the police, filing a report for me?
01:02:41I am on it, Ms. CEO.
01:02:43Thank you!
01:02:50Fuck!
01:02:52Ethan Carter!
01:02:52Eric, you're under arrest for workplace sexual harassment.
01:02:56What?
01:02:58You're coming with us?
01:02:59I've never sexually insulted anybody, officer.
01:03:02This is a mistake!
01:03:03You saved it for the jury.
01:03:05Take the money, take the money.
01:03:06There's money on the table.
01:03:08Money for enough money for all three of you.
01:03:10Listen, I have money.
01:03:11Lots of money.
01:03:14I thought you forgave me, Nicole.
01:03:17No, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine.
01:03:20Betrayed and sent to prison by the person you once loved most.
01:03:24How's it feel?
01:03:25I can't go to prison.
01:03:26People will make fun of Grace if I go to prison.
01:03:28They'll say both of her parents are cots!
01:03:30Grace is strong and brave, unlike you.
01:03:35A selfish coward.
01:03:37Hey, don't move.
01:03:41I'll protect Grace, don't you worry.
01:03:43Please, let's go.
01:03:52Absolutely.
01:03:53Damn.
01:03:55Oh, I'm in a good mood.
01:03:56I'm in the best mood, actually.
01:03:58You know what?
01:03:59It's been cited.
01:04:00You have to stick with me until it hits the spot.
01:04:05I will be here until the end.
01:04:09Deal.
01:04:09Deal.
01:04:10Go.
01:04:13Am I just the biggest idiot?
01:04:15You know, I left my dad.
01:04:18My only family.
01:04:20For seven years.
01:04:22For what?
01:04:23Hmm?
01:04:24For some selfish bastard who sent me to prison.
01:04:29To prison.
01:04:30He did that.
01:04:31You know, he didn't even bat an eye.
01:04:33He didn't care.
01:04:33I don't know how I'm supposed to face my dad again.
01:04:37I'm stupid.
01:04:39Nicole, you're back now.
01:04:43That's all that matters.
01:04:48I'm really glad that you're still my friend after all the years.
01:04:52Of course.
01:04:53So, enough about that.
01:04:59What's new with you?
01:05:00Got anybody special in your life?
01:05:03No.
01:05:05I'm single.
01:05:07The girl I loved left and married some asshole seven years ago.
01:05:12Seven years?
01:05:14Yep.
01:05:14What?
01:05:15Come on.
01:05:15But you're such a good looking guy.
01:05:17How could you do that?
01:05:20Oh, man.
01:05:21I guess we've both been going through it, huh?
01:05:22Oh, it's not so bad.
01:05:25I mean, she's back now.
01:05:28I think I might have a shot.
01:05:31Wait.
01:05:33Could it be?
01:05:34Oh, I think I'm a little drunk.
01:05:41Sorry.
01:05:42Oh, careful.
01:05:47I think you've had too much.
01:05:51Yeah.
01:05:53Yeah, you know.
01:05:55I think I'm a little drunk.
01:05:58I should probably head home, but it's just, it's far, you know?
01:06:02Oh, no, you just, just sleep in my bed.
01:06:04I'll, I'll take the couch.
01:06:06It's fine, really.
01:06:07Oh, okay.
01:06:09Maybe I got it wrong.
01:06:25Hmm.
01:06:26Such a shame.
01:06:29Such a cute boy.
01:06:32This notebook.
01:06:34Why does it look so familiar?
01:06:46This is my college notebook.
01:06:54What is this?
01:06:56David, give it back.
01:06:57I'm serious.
01:06:57I'm not playing.
01:06:58Give it back.
01:06:58Lawyers in suits are sick.
01:07:00I hope I can kiss a hot, sexy lawyer someday.
01:07:05What?
01:07:06Why can't I kiss a hot, sexy, rich lawyer someday?
01:07:09I mean, how many guys do you want to kiss?
01:07:11What?
01:07:12Is this why all your professors are having you redo all your papers?
01:07:16No.
01:07:17That's it.
01:07:18That's it.
01:07:19I'm confiscating this.
01:07:20What?
01:07:21I'm confiscating this.
01:07:21Stop.
01:07:22It's mine.
01:07:23You're a jerk.
01:07:24Give it back, David.
01:07:25David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:26David.
01:07:27David.
01:07:28David.
01:07:28David.
01:07:29David.
01:07:30What are you doing here?
01:07:42You scared me.
01:07:43I just came to get my pajamas, get dressed.
01:07:46Didn't expect you to be reading through my stuff.
01:07:49OK, I'm sorry.
01:07:49I think you mean my stuff.
01:07:51That's my notebook from college.
01:07:52Actually, give it back to me.
01:07:53Give it back.
01:07:54I guess I need this more than you.
01:08:04OK, just go get your PJs so you can go.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:08All right.
01:08:09All right.
01:08:09All right.
01:08:10All right.
01:08:11All right.
01:08:12All right.
01:08:13Now that I'm here, do you think I count as a hot, ripped, sexy lawyer?
01:08:28Yeah.
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:30Yeah.
01:08:31Yeah.
01:08:32Of course you do.
01:08:33Then don't you want to kiss me?
01:08:35Then don't you want to kiss me?
01:08:38Then don't you want to kiss me?
01:08:42Then don't you want to kiss me?
01:08:49God, you're trying to be crazy.
01:09:05Don't you want to kiss me?
01:09:24Was I beaten up yesterday?
01:09:26Fuck!
01:09:26Fuck!
01:09:27Fuck!
01:09:28Fuck!
01:09:29Fuck!
01:09:30Fuck!
01:09:31I slept with my best friend!
01:09:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, stop it, stop it, Nicole, stop.
01:10:03Oh, I gotta admit, he is really hot.
01:10:33I left early for work.
01:10:35I had a meeting.
01:10:39Think you can run away from me that easily, Miss Nicole Carrington?
01:10:51Okay, it's been days and I haven't heard from Damon.
01:10:54Is he embarrassed?
01:10:57Miss Carrington, you're still home?
01:10:59Today's the parent-teacher event at Grace's school.
01:11:02What?
01:11:03No, Grace never told me anything about that.
01:11:05Her teachers didn't either.
01:11:06We need to hurry.
01:11:07Okay.
01:11:10You can't join the family show.
01:11:12You don't even have a dad.
01:11:14I do have a dad.
01:11:18You don't even have a dad.
01:11:19I do have a dad.
01:11:21You liar.
01:11:22I've never seen your dad.
01:11:24That's right.
01:11:26Hey, what are you two twerps saying to my daughter?
01:11:30Daddy.
01:11:30I apologize to her now.
01:11:34I'm sorry.
01:11:35I'm sorry I was mean.
01:11:42Thank you, Uncle Damon.
01:11:43Did you rehearse for the show at home?
01:11:45Of course.
01:11:47I take princesses' orders very seriously.
01:11:57All right.
01:11:58You guys ready?
01:11:59One, two, three.
01:12:02Oh, I'm coming home.
01:12:07I'm coming home to you.
01:12:14Oh, I'm coming home.
01:12:20I'm coming home.
01:12:22Oh, well, if Mommy's here, why don't we make it a family photo?
01:12:51Oh, we're not a...
01:12:53Mommy, hurry up!
01:12:55Okay.
01:12:58Hey.
01:13:00Say cheese.
01:13:01Cheese.
01:13:02Cheese.
01:13:07Mommy, you go first.
01:13:08I have to talk to Uncle Damon about something.
01:13:10What?
01:13:12When did you guys get so close, huh?
01:13:14That's a secret between Uncle Damon and me.
01:13:17Yeah.
01:13:18I'll send her inside as soon as we're done.
01:13:20Just don't worry.
01:13:21Now go.
01:13:22Okay.
01:13:22I'm going.
01:13:23Okay.
01:13:29Uncle Damon, you want to go on a day with my mommy, right?
01:13:33I know you love my mommy.
01:13:36I want to help you out.
01:13:38I don't just want to go on a date with your mommy.
01:13:42If it's okay with you, may I have the honor of being your dad, Grace?
01:13:50Uncle Damon, I really, really want you to be my dad.
01:13:54Mommy's birthday is this weekend, and I know this is her birthday wish, too.
01:13:58Well, then I'll just have to ask Miss Grace for help with Miss Carrington.
01:14:05Thank you, swear.
01:14:15Yeah, I get that.
01:14:17Happy birthday, Mommy.
01:14:18What did you wish for?
01:14:20I just wish for you to be happy and healthy.
01:14:23It's not what Mommy ever wanted.
01:14:24You're the best Mommy ever.
01:14:28Well, where are we going?
01:14:30Just follow me, Mommy.
01:14:31I have a surprise gift for you.
01:14:32You have what?
01:14:35Okay.
01:14:47Follow me, Mommy.
01:14:50Oh, Grace.
01:14:51Did you do all this?
01:14:53Yes, Mommy.
01:14:55Oh, it's beautiful.
01:14:58Wow.
01:15:00Now close your eyes, and I'll tell you what the surprise gift is.
01:15:04Close my eye.
01:15:06Okay.
01:15:07Eyes are closed.
01:15:08What's going on?
01:15:09What now?
01:15:09I want to invite Mommy to a dance.
01:15:12You want me to dance with you with my eyes closed?
01:15:15That's right.
01:15:16I'll lead you.
01:15:17Okay.
01:15:18All right.
01:15:18Okay.
01:15:19Where are we going?
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:19All right.
01:15:20Okay.
01:15:20All right.
01:15:21Okay.
01:15:21All right.
01:15:22Okay.
01:15:22All right.
01:15:23All right.
01:15:23All right.
01:15:23All right.
01:15:24All right.
01:15:25All right.
01:15:26All right.
01:15:27Happy birthday, Nicole.
01:15:42So, what is all this?
01:15:46Hmm?
01:15:47Can I explain?
01:15:48Well, I mean, you never explained that night after you ran away.
01:15:52I know.
01:15:53I know.
01:15:54I'm sorry.
01:15:55I just...
01:15:56I just found out that someone had feelings for me, and I didn't really know how to react.
01:16:04Why?
01:16:05Did you not like that somebody?
01:16:09No.
01:16:09No.
01:16:10No.
01:16:10No.
01:16:10No.
01:16:10Of course I do.
01:16:11I just...
01:16:12I don't...
01:16:13Don't you think it's weird for two best friends to become more than that?
01:16:16From the moment I met you, Nicole, I knew I never wanted to just be friends.
01:16:27From the moment you met me?
01:16:29Yeah.
01:16:29Damon, we've been friends since we were kids.
01:16:32You never said anything.
01:16:33I know, and I think about it every day, Nicole.
01:16:38I just...
01:16:39I think about when we were young, and I was such an idiot.
01:16:43I never took the leap.
01:16:46And...
01:16:47Maybe if I had, we could have spent the last seven years together.
01:16:51So you're asking for my hand now?
01:16:57Yeah.
01:16:58Yeah, I am.
01:16:59But...
01:17:00I know your marriage just ended, and...
01:17:03How deeply hurt you are.
01:17:06And...
01:17:06It's...
01:17:07Not my place to tell you how, or...
01:17:10When to get over that pain.
01:17:13I just...
01:17:14I need you to know...
01:17:17There's no one else from me but you.
01:17:21There's no one else from me but you.
01:17:30I...
01:17:31I just realized...
01:17:33Did you become a lawyer because of me?
01:17:36What?
01:17:37What?
01:17:37Wait, give it back.
01:17:38Give it back.
01:17:39Give it back.
01:17:39I'm gonna kiss this hot, sexy lawyer?
01:17:43This again.
01:17:44Yeah.
01:17:45Hey, I...
01:17:47Your dream was to kiss a hot and sexy lawyer.
01:17:51I mean, what was I supposed to do?
01:17:52I was just a nerd.
01:17:53Who changes their whole career path based on a silly joke?
01:17:58Who does that?
01:18:00Well...
01:18:01It doesn't matter what I've become in this life.
01:18:07One thing's never changed.
01:18:10I'm all yours.
01:18:12I always have been.
01:18:13I always will be.
01:18:29After that night...
01:18:31I've thought about this moment for a long, long time.
01:18:38I love you, too.
01:18:47I love you, too.
01:18:47I love you, too.
01:18:56I love you, too.
01:18:57I love you, too.
