00:00:00A ticket to my big solo performance.

00:00:04So I'm going to see you tonight.

00:00:06I'm heir to the Ashworth fortune.

00:00:09Doesn't mean I have to like it or her.

00:00:12Well, don't think that you can have the run at the place just because you're engaged to us.

00:00:19Jane.

00:00:25Sean.

00:00:26I'll bet.

00:00:28Will you marry me?

00:00:30That's the truth, Sean.

00:00:35Excuse me?

00:00:36Why did you really leave all this years ago?

00:00:39People are scared.

00:00:40Ian Ashworth destroys people for fun.

00:00:42You know, but Violet...

00:00:44I will never, ever marry you.

00:00:48What is it?

00:00:51Violet, come to me!

00:00:52What makes you think it's water, moving bridge?

00:00:54It's all set up for you.

00:00:55The plan's not coming out.

00:00:57You used me.

00:00:57You used me to get close to the Ashworths.

00:01:01I really hope that you find everything you want.

00:01:05Because we are dying.

00:01:06Right?

00:01:07You can stop.

00:01:08Hey!

00:01:09Let's not wait!

00:01:10Leave her alone!

00:01:11And?

00:01:20Hope I'm not interrupting.

00:01:35You are. We're brainstorming here.

00:01:37Hi, Violet.

00:01:38Thanks.

00:01:43What's this?

00:01:44A ticket to my big solo performance tonight.

00:01:48That's tonight.

00:01:49I put it on your calendar.

00:01:51Babe, you know I never look at that.

00:01:53Well, I thought it'd be a nice event to have before we got married tomorrow.

00:01:56No, we're getting married next month in Cabo.

00:01:58My mom's invited half the billionaires in the city.

00:02:00Right, but we have our civil ceremony at City Hall tomorrow.

00:02:04Oh.

00:02:05So I'm gonna see you tonight?

00:02:06I have a lot on my plate right now.

00:02:08What?

00:02:09Could you grab me some more sunscreen?

00:02:12Anyways, um, Pink, I think we can get really good business.

00:02:18Look, you gotta be nice to Violet.

00:02:20She's gonna be your wife.

00:02:21I have to get married.

00:02:23I'm heir to the Ashworth fortune.

00:02:25Doesn't mean I have to like it, or her.

00:02:32Violet?

00:02:33What are you doing here?

00:02:37Just rehearsing.

00:02:39The acoustics are way better here, and my apartment's a little small.

00:02:43Well, don't think that you can have the run of the place just because you're engaged to my son.

00:02:47And if I have to look at those shabby clothes, at least help the maids.

00:02:51I can't.

00:02:52Tonight I have a big performance.

00:02:54No, that's not my problem, alright?

00:02:57Grab a mop.

00:02:58And get that trash off my marble.

00:03:01You were amazing up there tonight.

00:03:17How would you like to have a residency with us until the end of the year?

00:03:20Yes.

00:03:21Yes?

00:03:22I'm so happy right now.

00:03:24You deserve it.

00:03:26You deserve it.

00:03:27Wait, who sent these?

00:03:32Hey, it's Ian.

00:03:33Hey, it's Ian.

00:03:34I, uh...

00:03:35Sorry, I'm too busy and handsome to come to the phone right now.

00:03:36Yeah.

00:03:37Beep.

00:03:38Beep.

00:03:39Beep.

00:03:40Hey, it's Ian, sorry, I'm too busy and handsome to come to the phone right now, beep, beep.

00:03:53I've been here for three hours.

00:04:11Thanks, baby, cheers.

00:04:14Cheers.

00:04:20What do you mean?

00:04:23I think she's crying.

00:04:50Sean?

00:04:59Violet.

00:05:02What are you doing here?

00:05:04I'm back.

00:05:05What are you doing here?

00:05:09I'm getting married.

00:05:12Or at least I was supposed to be getting married.

00:05:16I'm short a groom.

00:05:18Yeah.

00:05:19Take this.

00:05:22You were always so kind.

00:05:29Sean?

00:05:31Yes?

00:05:32Never mind, I need to go.

00:05:39Violet, there was a time when you could tell me anything.

00:05:47Will you marry me?

00:05:54Will you marry me?

00:06:06Will you marry me?

00:06:10Sure.

00:06:11Are you serious?

00:06:12Yeah, I'm dead serious.

00:06:13Maybe you shouldn't make a rash decision right now.

00:06:14Or maybe I'm thinking clearly for the first time in a very, very long time.

00:06:31I'm tired of being humiliated, so I'm going to get married today.

00:06:35Whether it's to you or to anyone else who's going to do it.

00:06:39Hey!

00:06:40Hey, do you want to get married to me?

00:06:41No?

00:06:42Okay.

00:06:43Simple lady!

00:06:44Okay.

00:06:45Yes.

00:06:46I will marry you.

00:06:48I didn't think that was going to work.

00:06:52Let's get married.

00:06:56Are we making a mistake?

00:07:25Only one way to find out.

00:07:28Ready?

00:07:32I, Violet, take you, Sean, to be my lawfully wedded husband.

00:07:42I, Sean, take you, Violet, to be my lawfully wedded wife.

00:07:47For richer, horror.

00:07:49In sickness and in health.

00:07:52I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

00:07:56As a symbol of my love.

00:07:58Till death do us part.

00:08:00That was insane.

00:08:01Oh my God.

00:08:02Are we insane?

00:08:03No, we are completely sane.

00:08:07Okay.

00:08:08Um, we need to go to my apartment because you just got to town and I have space in my apartment,

00:08:13so.

00:08:14What?

00:08:15What?

00:08:16What's that look?

00:08:17We can discuss on the way.

00:08:18You have a lovely place.

00:08:20It's a good size for a musician's salary.

00:08:21Violin.

00:08:22Violin.

00:08:23You remember?

00:08:24And I have space in my apartment, so...

00:08:28What? What's that look?

00:08:30We can discuss along the way.

00:08:42You have a lovely place.

00:08:45It's a good size for a musician's salary.

00:08:48Violin.

00:08:49You remember?

00:08:50I used to love hearing you play.

00:08:52Well, um...

00:08:55I'm gonna pack.

00:08:57Uh, there's, uh, some men's slippers.

00:08:59If you want them, I'm not gonna wear them, so...

00:09:13Goodbye, Ian.

00:09:22You have your mother's eyes.

00:09:31Ready?

00:09:32Thanks.

00:09:33You have your mother's eyes.

00:09:43Ready?

00:09:44Sure.

00:09:45Thanks.

00:09:46Thanks.

00:09:47Okay.

00:09:48Thanks.

00:09:49Thanks.

00:09:50Thanks.

00:09:51Thanks.

00:09:52Thanks.

00:09:53Thanks.

00:09:54Thanks.

00:09:55Thanks.

00:09:56Thanks,gendAL Gimmie.

00:09:58Thanks.

00:09:59I know.

00:10:07You're welcome.

00:10:09Now...

00:10:41I thought you were going to...

00:10:55To what, Violet?

00:10:56I'm a gentleman.

00:10:57My friend.

00:11:04Oh, wait.

00:11:06Oh!

00:11:08Wow.

00:11:14Your home is incredible.

00:11:17What about the rest of my things?

00:11:19My people will pack up your place.

00:11:21Packs of being poor and rich.

00:11:24Let me show you around.

00:11:27And Violet, this isn't my home.

00:11:30It's ours.

00:11:35I'm practicing here.

00:11:37I never had the space to play at my apartment.

00:11:40Now you can.

00:11:44And this is my hour, Betty.

00:11:50This is crazy.

00:11:52Sean, I don't know what I was thinking, but if you want, we can get an annulment.

00:11:58I'm pretty busy at work this week.

00:12:01Maybe I can pencil an annulment for next week.

00:12:05Who knows?

00:12:06You might just follow up with me.

00:12:08I'll take an invitation.

00:12:18I'll take an invitation.

00:12:25Hey, Violet.

00:12:26Why do you sound like you've been running?

00:12:30Anne.

00:12:31What's up?

00:12:32I was just busy.

00:12:34I saw the photos of Ian and Jane online.

00:12:38You okay?

00:12:39Yeah, I'm fine.

00:12:41I've moved on.

00:12:42Ian.

00:12:43I get that.

00:12:44It's just...

00:12:45Apparently, Ian still wants to get married.

00:12:47The Ashworths have been looking for you.

00:12:57Smells delicious.

00:12:59It's almost ready.

00:13:00Oh, almost wrapped.

00:13:15To replace the ones from City Hall.

00:13:19How did you get rings that fast?

00:13:22Read the engraving.

00:13:25Apple.

00:13:28You remembered.

00:13:31Here.

00:13:48Looks beautiful.

00:13:51It does.

00:14:00It does.

00:14:01It does.

00:14:02It does.

00:14:03It does.

00:14:04It does.

00:14:05It does.

00:14:08It does.

00:14:30Can you remember?

00:14:31You remember?

00:14:39Apple.

00:14:41You remember?

00:14:50Ian.

00:14:52Jane?

00:14:53I thought I'd find you here. Do you have my homework?

00:14:55Uh-huh.

00:14:57Cool.

00:14:58And what about mine?

00:15:00What about yours?

00:15:13Why do you hang out with her?

00:15:16Jane? She's fun.

00:15:18Relax. We're just friends.

00:15:20You're my girlfriend.

00:15:22Does she know that?

00:15:24Don't act jealous. It's boring.

00:15:30What are you looking at, new kid?

00:15:34Huh?

00:15:36Is this for me?

00:15:44Yes, it's true.

00:15:46I'm not a person.

00:15:54I'm not a person, you're going to get me old.

00:15:56I'm not a person.

00:15:58No, you're not a person.

00:16:00It's okay.

00:16:02I can't wait to meet you.

00:16:03I'm no longer.

00:16:04You're not a person.

00:16:05You're not a person, and you're not a person,

00:16:07but I'm no longer.

00:16:08here. Thanks. I'm Violet. Sean.

00:16:21Hey, I made breakfast. You spoil me.

00:16:51Any plans for today? Maybe we can have lunch? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Um, I gotta run right now but I will see you later.

00:17:08Okay. Violet, where have you been? How dare you not return my calls? What if I needed you for

00:17:25something? I was just with an old friend. Well, Ian is back from his trip and he needs help unpacking.

00:17:31You know he's hopeless with these things. The hell is that a wedding ring? Are you sipping out on me?

00:17:38Stepping out on you? Me? Where were you yesterday when we were supposed to get married?

00:17:42You will be respectful in my house. So what, you just married some rando who happened to be at City

00:17:48Hall? No way. You must have been seeing someone. Tell me his name.

00:17:58Tell me his name.

00:17:59Margot, thank you so much for planning that entire destination wedding. But we won't be needing it.

00:18:12Ian, I think it's time that you learn to check your own calendar and make your own appointments and unpack your own suitcase.

00:18:20Bye. You can't do any of those things.

00:18:24Oh, look. If it's not the blushing bride. Oh, that's right. Ian missed your wedding to take me on vacation. Oops.

00:18:36I promise you, I do not care. Jane, you know he doesn't love you.

00:18:41And you think that he loves you? Yes, I do.

00:18:44Ian is a spoiled child and a fool. But you're an even bigger fool for waiting for him for all these years.

00:18:50Are you following me?

00:19:18I was worried about you. I saw Ashworth on your phone. I apologize. I didn't mean to snoop.

00:19:23No, it's okay. I'm glad you're here.

00:19:26You're hurt. I know a place.

00:19:41Thanks.

00:19:41What is it with you in the Ashworths?

00:19:44When my mother died, the Ashworths helped erase me. I never really saw them as a family.

00:19:52But they did pay for my mother's apartment so that I didn't have to move.

00:19:56They gave me money from time to time.

00:19:58Not enough.

00:20:00No.

00:20:00I mean, I was self-sufficient and I had my scholarship.

00:20:06It was my mother's wish for me to marry Ian.

00:20:11I think she thought that Ashworths would take care of me.

00:20:16I just really wanted to honor that for her.

00:20:19Um, I'm gonna use the bathroom really fast. Could you watch my stuff?

00:20:29Yeah.

00:20:36Sean, what are you doing here?

00:20:40I'm back. Are you still working with the actual family company?

00:20:44I made executive vice president last year. How about you?

00:20:48I have business here.

00:20:49Looks like business is good.

00:20:52Nice phone.

00:20:54I'll send your compliments to my wife.

00:21:04I'll send your compliments to my wife.

00:21:05Hey, let's get out of here.

00:21:16I want you to meet somewhere.

00:21:22When you told me you wanted to go somewhere,

00:21:25I didn't think you meant back to the Ashworths.

00:21:27Well, this one's different.

00:21:33Violet.

00:21:34Oh, it's good to see you.

00:21:37How have you been?

00:21:39Good.

00:21:39Who's this?

00:21:40This is my husband, John.

00:21:43Husband?

00:21:46Are you sure about that?

00:21:48How long have you known him?

00:21:50I have known John since high school.

00:21:52What do you have to say for yourself?

00:21:54That I'll do whatever I can to make Violet happy.

00:21:56Well, he talks like a husband and walks like a husband.

00:22:00I'm still not convinced.

00:22:01Come on.

00:22:03I got a gift for you.

00:22:04A gift for me?

00:22:05Yes, on account of the occasion.

00:22:07Young man, you can hang out and chill.

00:22:11That's what young people say.

00:22:12This isn't over, Violet.

00:22:32You belong to me.

00:22:34Guess who I just saw.

00:22:44Your dead brother.

00:22:45Said you're a disappointment.

00:22:48Sean from high school.

00:22:50What's he doing here?

00:22:51I don't know, but I saw him with Violet's cell phone and he was wearing a wedding ring.

00:22:58Sean.

00:22:59After everything my family's done for Violet, she marries Sean the minute he comes back.

00:23:04They were close in high school.

00:23:05No, I'm not leaving my future wife because I'm gutter trash.

00:23:08Okay, Violet belongs to me.

00:23:10What about Dame?

00:23:11What about her?

00:23:12And this is it.

00:23:22It's all set up for you.

00:23:23And you're sure this can get through passwords and encryption?

00:23:26Absolutely.

00:23:27But you'll have to have access to the computer and plug it in manually.

00:23:30That won't be a problem.

00:23:31I'm finally getting close to the Ashworths.

00:23:46The plans all come together.

00:23:49It's just...

00:23:51What is it, sir?

00:23:55Nothing.

00:24:01Another gin.

00:24:11Do you want to slow down?

00:24:13I know.

00:24:15Maybe...

00:24:16We could get married.

00:24:20Now that Violet is out of the picture.

00:24:22Grow up, Ian.

00:24:46Oh.

00:24:50Dear babe.

00:24:52Dear babe.

00:24:53Just read it.

00:24:55Dear babe.

00:24:56While it's unfortunate what you have been through these last few days...

00:25:01Try years.

00:25:02With the vacation, wedding day, mix-up and all, you should consider how your actions have affected me.

00:25:09Enjoy this fancy stuff, Ian.

00:25:13At least you know he wrote it himself.

00:25:16But does he not know you're married?

00:25:18No, he knows.

00:25:19All of this has to go.

00:25:26I do not want a single thing that Ian has given me.

00:25:29I have accepted far too many apologies.

00:25:32Oh, this is so beautiful.

00:25:34Ian gave you this?

00:25:35Right.

00:25:36Ian.

00:25:37No.

00:25:38No, this is my mom's.

00:25:40It was the only thing she left me.

00:25:42But it's locked.

00:25:45I don't know what's inside.

00:25:48So...

00:25:49Are we burning all this?

00:25:51Selling it online?

00:25:52No.

00:25:54I have a better idea.

00:25:55I'll call you back.

00:26:08Boss, I'm sorry, he just...

00:26:09It's okay.

00:26:11Ian, have a seat.

00:26:13I'll stand, thanks.

00:26:15To what do I have the pleasure?

00:26:16Just business.

00:26:18I looked you up, you know.

00:26:19You're new here, so word of advice.

00:26:21The Ashworth company, the family's company.

00:26:24It's worth a hundred times your little operation here.

00:26:28Good to know.

00:26:29I mean, you did well for yourself, considering you were born on a trash heap.

00:26:3325 million in sales a year.

00:26:36Nice.

00:26:37We do that in a week.

00:26:38I'm impressed, but I don't think you came by to read me a resume.

00:26:43No, you're right.

00:26:44I came by to remind you that people like you never win.

00:26:49The way I ran over you in high school will be nothing compared to what I'm about to do.

00:27:01You know, you might be right.

00:27:02I might just be some little dirt Porsche driver.

00:27:06The tiny company who never finished school.

00:27:10But I'm the only pilot in my bed.

00:27:14Chrissy?

00:27:34We have to work faster.

00:27:36The last thing I need is Ian breathing down my neck, again.

00:27:39Are you going to approach Mr. Platt?

00:27:43I don't think we have a choice.

00:27:50But what does the poem mean?

00:27:53Well, when she's talking about flesh and grass, she's kind of comparing, like, cycles.

00:28:01Hey, did you understand the homework last night?

00:28:05So in psychology, you have to account for a theory of mind.

00:28:08Okay, so, basically...

00:28:08Did you get what Mr. Clay said in history?

00:28:12Yeah.

00:28:12Um, so he was talking about how the 80s were marked by this period of divestment protests, which is...

00:28:18My brain hurts.

00:28:34You were really smart, you know?

00:28:35Well, when do you get a scholarship?

00:28:37So are you.

00:28:38Even if you don't need one.

00:28:40You're just not smart in poetry.

00:28:42But you're smart in everything else.

00:28:44That's why I like hanging out with you.

00:28:45Is that why?

00:28:46I like hanging out with you.

00:29:16Dear babe, he never calls me babe.

00:29:34Let's make this quick.

00:29:36I don't have time to sign everyone's earlobes.

00:29:37We're not leaving until everybody sees my bracelet.

00:29:41Wait, where did you...

00:29:46Everyone's looking at us.

00:30:01Everyone's looking at you.

00:30:03Did you care to dance?

00:30:04So what's the truth, Sean?

00:30:30Excuse me?

00:30:32Why did you really leave all those years ago?

00:30:34It was a long time ago, Hank.

00:30:37And yet, the rumors still persist.

00:30:40Look, now that it's water under the bridge, I just want to know if they were true.

00:30:43What makes you think it's water under the bridge?

00:30:45There's a lot you don't know, Hank.

00:31:02Be careful who you associate with.

00:31:05Violet, you look stunning.

00:31:07I'd be honored to have the next dance.

00:31:10Sean?

00:31:11Don't look at me.

00:31:22I'm surprised to see you here, considering you aren't exactly a graduate of this institution,

00:31:26Sean.

00:31:27I'm here as a guest of my wife.

00:31:28Oh, right.

00:31:30How's that going?

00:31:39Violet?

00:31:40It's okay.

00:31:41I'm okay.

00:31:42I just...

00:31:44I need some water.

00:31:46I'll get it.

00:31:47I'll get it.

00:31:48Thanks.

00:31:49Drink, and I'm taking you home.

00:31:52Violet, I didn't know you had a drinking problem.

00:31:56How embarrassing.

00:31:57Give it a rest for one night, Jane.

00:32:00You know, Jane, that bridge still looks really good.

00:32:02It was too big on me, but I guess it fits you perfectly.

00:32:18I can't believe I'm in the house of the hottest guy.

00:32:23I'm your husband.

00:32:25Oh, my God.

00:32:27How many drinks did you have?

00:32:29One.

00:32:31Well, no, no, definitely one.

00:32:38Oh, I got you.

00:32:43Wait, why was Hank saying all that stuff about the rumors about why you left?

00:32:48Why didn't you say goodbye to anyone?

00:32:50Why didn't you say goodbye to me?

00:32:52You're drunk, Violet.

00:32:56No, I'm going to get to the bottom of this if it is the last thing that I do.

00:33:02Violet.

00:33:02I don't know.

00:33:03I don't know.

00:33:04I don't know if he's going out for the night, but I...

00:38:32Ian.

00:38:34I have to go all out to get Violet back.

00:38:37Violet who's married? That Violet?

00:38:40My Violet. It's not the same without her. I miss her.

00:38:44I feel like all this could have been prevailing if you would have just shown up to your wedding.

00:38:47You know I can make you a janitor, right?

00:38:53What about this?

00:38:56Necklace.

00:38:57It's expensive, but it can be worn every day.

00:39:00If I really want to make an impression, I'll invite her to the charity auction and buy this in front of Sean.

00:39:05You mean Violet?

00:39:06Yeah, same thing.

00:39:08A grand gesture.

00:39:1018 karat gold.

00:39:12Necklace with diamonds.

00:39:14And she'll love it.

00:39:30Hey, thanks for coming to this with me.

00:39:32It's for a good cause.

00:39:33Are you planning on bidding?

00:39:37Never know when I catch my eye.

00:39:40Okay, folks. Let's settle down. Let's settle down. I know that last bid was exciting.

00:39:45Wait for the next one.

00:39:47A gold necklace from our family collection.

00:39:50This one is special.

00:39:53So I'd like to start at, let's say, $5,000.

00:39:56$5,000 for my grandson, Ian.

00:39:59He wants to keep it in the family. Good for him.

00:40:02Any other bids?

00:40:04Going once?

00:40:05I hear $6,000 from the man in the back corner.

00:40:08$7,000. That's wonderful.

00:40:11$100,000.

00:40:13$100?

00:40:13It's sold. Thank you, Sean.

00:40:19Let's continue here.

00:40:21We have a genuine Mingba.

00:40:36Sean, this is too expensive.

00:40:39Do you like it?

00:40:41I love it.

00:40:42Then it's worth every penny.

00:40:45You know, somehow it's exactly what I would have chosen.

00:40:48I have not seen that gem for so long. It's good that it's out in public again.

00:40:53Sean?

00:40:55If you keep this up, I might learn to like you myself.

00:41:00It's nice to see you again, Mr. Ashworth.

00:41:04Violet!

00:41:06How unsurprising that you would choose such a tacky piece of junk.

00:41:11You always did have poor taste.

00:41:14You must be Margo Ashworth.

00:41:16I dare you speak to my wife that way.

00:41:18You are in my house, drinking my wine.

00:41:21Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?

00:41:24I'm Sean.

00:41:25Violet's husband.

00:41:26So who do I write the checkout to for the necklace?

00:41:30Please, you can't afford that.

00:41:33Billionaires can afford anything.

00:41:35Maybe even your company one day.

00:41:37Billionaire? I thought...

00:41:38I heard...

00:41:38You thought wrong.

00:41:39So do I write the checkout to you?

00:41:41If you'll excuse me, I need to find a restaurant.

00:41:44You know what I want.

00:42:02There we go.

00:42:03There's no man.

00:42:05There's no man.

00:42:08There's no man.

00:42:09My girl, I want to talk to you.

00:42:39What are you doing here?

00:42:43The way that you treated Sean tonight, it was unacceptable.

00:42:48It's one thing to treat me that way, but you will not speak to my husband in such a disrespectful

00:42:53manner.

00:42:54And what are you going to do about it?

00:42:56What is your problem?

00:42:57I tried for years to make you like me.

00:43:01You have never once been kind to me.

00:43:04Why?

00:43:05I think I took care of you well enough.

00:43:08I mean, you were a burden.

00:43:10I was 14.

00:43:11Yes.

00:43:12And the Ashworths helped you.

00:43:14And I repaid you with my time without complaint.

00:43:18Margot, I did everything that you asked of me.

00:43:21Except Mary Ian.

00:43:24Which was your mother's wish as well?

00:43:26You know I couldn't do it.

00:43:28I tried.

00:43:29I could not force him.

00:43:31Well, he seems ready now.

00:43:33No.

00:43:34You don't get to tell me what to do anymore.

00:43:37I'm done.

00:43:38So am I.

00:43:39But at least I don't have to live with the disgrace of going against my dead.

00:43:45Live with the disgrace of going against my dead mother's wishes.

00:43:49And mother's wishes.

00:43:51And mother's wishes.

00:43:53Have a nice life, Violet.

00:43:59You have to follow!

00:44:04Sean?

00:44:05Sean?

00:44:07What are you doing?

00:44:10That's not what it looks like.

00:44:11Sean...

00:44:12Sean?

00:44:16Sean?

00:44:19What are you doing?

00:44:22What are you doing?

00:44:24That's not what it looks like.

00:44:26Well, I think it looks like you're sneaking around the Ashworths.

00:44:30And whatever you found is on that USB.

00:44:34Right there.

00:44:36I'm not gonna lie to you.

00:44:38Just like you didn't lie to me about being a billionaire?

00:44:40Violet.

00:44:42You used me.

00:44:44You used me to get close to the Ashworths.

00:44:48Close enough to steal other secrets.

00:44:50Is this for revenge for high school like what Hank said?

00:44:54I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

00:44:56I didn't expect to run into you.

00:44:58Or to get married.

00:45:00Oh my god.

00:45:02Your driver was the person who delivered my flowers for my solo performance.

00:45:06I knew that I recognized him.

00:45:08And you, City Hall.

00:45:12Running into me, that wasn't a coincidence, was it?

00:45:15I didn't know you were gonna propose.

00:45:18But I don't regret it.

00:45:19Why would you?

00:45:21You got exactly what you wanted and I'm just a fool.

00:45:25You are not.

00:45:27You are smart and kind.

00:45:29Just don't.

00:45:31Don't say anything.

00:45:35You used me.

00:45:37At first, yes.

00:45:39Yes, but...

00:45:41Sue the hell away from me, Sean.

00:45:45And good luck with your revenge.

00:45:47I really hope that you find everything you want.

00:45:51Because we are done.

00:45:53Good luck with your husband.

00:45:54I'm going to keep you on.

00:45:55I'm sorry.

00:45:57I'm sorry.

00:45:58But...

00:45:59I'm sorry.

00:46:01I'm sorry.

00:46:03I'm sorry.

00:47:05You alone?

00:47:15How did you know that I was here?

00:47:17Security. My company still pays.

00:47:22Listen. Sean's company's in trouble.

00:47:25If you stay with him, you'll regret it. Word around town is his company's vulnerable.

00:47:30I had no idea.

00:47:31Sean's just a loser, dreaming of revenge. You shouldn't trust him.

00:47:35Why does he want revenge? What happened?

00:47:39I don't know. Who knows what he's thinking? He's unstable.

00:47:46Well, I'm glad that you stopped by.

00:47:53Well, I'm glad that you stopped by, actually.

00:47:55I have something of yours.

00:48:03Is that...

00:48:04My keys to your house?

00:48:06I don't think that I'm welcome there anymore.

00:48:10Keith, an offer of marriage still stands, by the way.

00:48:13Most girls would be flattered. I know. They tell me.

00:48:16I am still married.

00:48:20If you leave him and marry me, I'll try to spare Sean if anything were to happen to his company.

00:48:27Ian, I don't know.

00:48:29We just have so much history.

00:48:32It's really sudden.

00:48:34Software won't be on the table for a long time.

00:48:36I did want to thank you for the flowers that you sent me.

00:48:44The flowers.

00:48:46For my solo performance?

00:48:48The flowers.

00:48:50Yeah.

00:48:51Of course.

00:48:52You're welcome.

00:48:54Mmm.

00:48:56God, you're such a liar.

00:49:00Sean's the one that sent me those flowers.

00:49:04I will never, ever marry you.

00:49:08You'll be sorry.

00:49:13You and Sean are both about to be very sorry.

00:49:28Let's go through it again.

00:49:29I'm not seeing anything unusual.

00:49:37It has to be here.

00:49:38Hey.

00:49:57I thought you were done with your homework.

00:49:59Oh yeah.

00:50:00Just one second.

00:50:01I have something to do later today.

00:50:02I have something to do later today.

00:50:32Bye, new kid.

00:50:49Let me try it one more time.

00:50:54I found it.

00:50:55Look, there's a duplicate file on profits.

00:50:58Wait.

00:51:00Those numbers are all wrong.

00:51:01Ian's hiding money from the IRS.

00:51:19Corey McFall.

00:51:21Just the guy I was looking for.

00:51:23You're hiring musicians, right?

00:51:26Yes.

00:51:27Well, I happen to know a violinist that would do anything for the job.

00:51:33Well, now you've got me really intrigued.

00:51:35Thanks to everything you ever wanted, you finally uncovered proof to send Ian away for a long time.

00:52:00I'll call my contact at the IRS.

00:52:01You know, let's hold off on that for now.

00:52:04You should head out and try to salvage your evening.

00:52:06Good work.

00:52:17You used me.

00:52:21Good luck with your revenge.

00:52:23Because we are done.

00:52:25We are done.

00:52:26We are done.

00:52:36Forgot something?

00:52:37Hello, Sean.

00:52:39Jane.

00:52:39Let me get that for you.

00:52:49By the way, amazing performance tonight.

00:52:54I would love to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

00:52:57Can I buy you a drink?

00:53:00Sure.

00:53:02After you.

00:53:02Hello, Sean.

00:53:07What are you doing here?

00:53:08I could ask you the same.

00:53:11Why are you really back?

00:53:13And why did you marry Violet?

00:53:16And does it have anything to do with why you left?

00:53:20Did Ian Ashworth send you?

00:53:22He doesn't know I'm here.

00:53:24That's probably for the best.

00:53:25So you don't have anything to say?

00:53:27It's late, Jane.

00:53:28And I don't think you care about any of the answers to any of these questions anyway.

00:53:33You got me.

00:53:36I'm really here to see what all the class is about.

00:53:38Maybe if I get with you the way Violet did,

00:53:42Ian will want me again.

00:53:50I'm married.

00:53:51I thought you had an open marriage.

00:53:54Why would you think that?

00:53:55Didn't you know?

00:53:56Violet is meeting with a male VIP.

00:53:59At this hour?

00:54:00Where?

00:54:02Where, Jane?

00:54:04Give me a kiss and I'll tell you.

00:54:19They're closing, but I tapped them fast.

00:54:26So, I'm bankrolling a new philharmonic in the city,

00:54:30complete with a brand new concert hall.

00:54:34And yet we still haven't found our new violinist.

00:54:37I had no idea.

00:54:39When are the auditions?

00:54:40Someone who plays as well as you do doesn't need to audition.

00:54:45It's six figures and three solos a year.

00:54:49That is a very attractive offer.

00:54:53Well, you're a very attractive player.

00:55:05I love these earrings, by the way.

00:55:08Very nice.

00:55:10So adorable.

00:55:12You seem very tense, though.

00:55:13Let me take a look.

00:55:14Let me take a look.

00:55:15Oh, yeah.

00:55:16Yeah, see?

00:55:17You feel all that?

00:55:18Oh, I'm okay.

00:55:20All that vile implant, right?

00:55:21No, you can stop.

00:55:25I...

00:55:25I would really like it if you're going to stop.

00:55:31Hey!

00:55:34Hey!

00:55:37Hey!

00:55:38Hey!

00:55:39That's my wife.

00:55:40Leave her alone.

00:55:41Do you know who the fuck I am?

00:55:43A perv?

00:55:44Someone who should be in jail?

00:55:46Or someone who should be dead?

00:55:47Stop me when I'm close.

00:55:50Get the fuck out.

00:55:52Now!

00:55:57It's not worth it anyway.

00:56:03Violent.

00:56:05You okay?

00:56:06Fine.

00:56:07You have to be more careful.

00:56:09I am careful.

00:56:10I am careful.

00:56:13It didn't look like it.

00:56:33Are you alright?

00:56:35That creep coming on to me wasn't my fault.

00:56:38I know.

00:56:39I'm sorry.

00:56:39It's just what if I hadn't been there?

00:56:41Why are you here?

00:56:42Jane told me.

00:56:44Jane.

00:56:57That's her lipstick.

00:56:59I mean, you're calling her, isn't it?

00:57:00She's been wearing the same shade since high school.

00:57:03Should have known it was Jane.

00:57:05She really does take every man from me.

00:57:08Nothing happened.

00:57:09It just fell under her lips.

00:57:11Just like Ian.

00:57:13I'm nothing like Ian.

00:57:15She came into my office.

00:57:16She wanted information.

00:57:18I didn't give her any.

00:57:20And she told me you were in trouble.

00:57:22She knew that I was in trouble because...

00:57:25She set it up.

00:57:26And she set me up, too, with this lipstick.

00:57:39What was that for?

00:57:43Tonight, I was actually really scared.

00:57:47I'm sorry.

00:58:07Sorry, I'm just...

00:58:08I'm not ready to trust you yet.

00:58:13I'll drive you on.

00:58:14Violet, try not to provoke Jane.

00:58:20I think she's more dangerous than you think.

00:58:22Good night.

00:58:41Good night, Violet.

00:59:12Running late, I see.

00:59:19Must have been a rough night.

00:59:25Hi, Jane.

00:59:26How was yours?

00:59:28Violet, what are you doing?

00:59:30I'm standing up for myself for once.

00:59:31Listen, violence is not tolerated under my watch.

00:59:36Your contract is over, effective immediately.

00:59:42I know it's been a while.

01:00:06Um, I'm sorry.

01:00:11I'm sorry for a lot of things, actually.

01:00:16I didn't marry Ian like you wanted, and I lost my job.

01:00:23I've made a lot of mistakes.

01:00:24But I'm going to fix it.

01:00:28And I'm going to make you so proud of me.

01:00:33Proud of me.

01:00:36Thanks.

01:00:36Harder than usual for this time of year.

01:00:49At least I'm staying active.

01:00:53Dad, remember that girl I told you about?

01:00:56I married her.

01:00:59Then I messed it up.

01:01:01I would do anything for her to forgive me.

01:01:05When I left high school, I made two vows.

01:01:15When I left high school, I made two vows.

01:01:19Looking for me, babe?

01:01:25Where is Sean?

01:01:26Yeah.

01:01:27I don't think he's going to be around much longer.

01:01:29What do you mean?

01:01:31Ian, what did you do?

01:01:33What did you do?

01:01:34What?

01:01:49I swore I would get revenge on Ian if it was the last thing I did.

01:01:59Then I would come back for the only girl I ever loved.

01:02:17It's nice to have you back home.

01:02:19It's nice to be back.

01:02:21Everything's as you left it.

01:02:46To my daughter, Violet.

01:02:49I will soon leave you.

01:02:51But I have sold all my belongings and cashed out my savings.

01:02:55There's plenty of money.

01:02:58You left me money.

01:03:00This entire time they treated me like I was an inconvenience.

01:03:03I want nothing more than for you to be happy.

01:03:06I love you.

01:03:07I love you, Mom.

01:03:10An heir to the Ashworth fortune.

01:03:14At least I don't have to live with the disgrace of going against my dead mother's wishes.

01:03:19This whole time, Margot was a lie.

01:03:22My mom never wanted me to marry Ian.

01:03:26She just wanted me to be happy.

01:03:29Are you hungry?

01:03:37I can whip up some steaks.

01:03:38I can whip up some steaks.

01:03:48Are you hungry?

01:03:53I can whip up some steaks.

01:04:18Are you sure?

01:04:48Okay.

01:05:16I need to sign right here, here, and sign there.

01:05:27That should do it.

01:05:28Congratulations.

01:05:29You completed the takeover of Shawn's entire company.

01:05:31It's a good day, Hank.

01:05:33But there's one thing that would make it perfect.

01:05:36Cheers.

01:05:39I have something that I need to tell you about my mom.

01:05:43I have something I want to say to you as well.

01:05:45Just a second.

01:05:49Hello?

01:05:50Boss, the Ashworths have taken over your company.

01:05:54What happened?

01:05:56Ian has started a hostile takeover of my company.

01:06:09It's over.

01:06:10My company was everything I worked for my whole life.

01:06:23Is there anything you can do?

01:06:26I don't think so.

01:06:30Well, I guess we're both unemployed.

01:06:34I know this wasn't the life I promised you.

01:06:38I don't care about that, okay?

01:06:43I was poor before, and I can be poor again.

01:06:49I was also poor growing up.

01:06:52I never said anything because I was ashamed.

01:06:55It was because of Ian that I lost my scholarship.

01:06:58That's why you wanted revenge.

01:07:00I'm sorry I let you believe I was something I wasn't.

01:07:06I'm sorry I never said goodbye.

01:07:09But I will work every day to give you the life you deserve.

01:07:14I'm not afraid to start it over.

01:07:16I think the important thing is that we're together.

01:07:22And that is a cause to celebrate.

01:07:25Yes, okay.

01:07:29Let me make a quick phone call.

01:07:31Yeah.

01:07:32I'll be back to you.

01:07:33Grandpa Ashworth, he gave me a wedding present.

01:07:36But I will tell you about it when you get back.

01:07:46Bartini, please.

01:08:06Violet!

01:08:07Violet!

01:08:08Violet!

01:08:10Violet, are you okay?

01:08:12Violet!

01:08:17Please.

01:08:19It's okay.

01:08:20It's okay.

01:08:21It's okay.

01:08:22Please.

01:08:23Help me!

01:08:24Help me!

01:08:25She's inside, please.

01:08:26Take care of you, okay guys?

01:08:27You'll be okay.

01:08:28We'll stay with you.

01:08:33Stay with me, Violet.

01:08:35Please.

01:08:36It's okay.

01:08:37Please.

01:08:38Help me!

01:08:39Help me!

01:08:40She's inside, please.

01:08:41I'm gonna be okay.

01:08:42I'll be to your side.

01:08:43Shawn?

01:08:44Violet's lost a lot of blood.

01:08:51She's going under an emergency surgery.

01:08:56Will she be okay?

01:08:57I'll keep you updated as it progresses.

01:09:00Is there anything I can do to help?

01:09:04We can only hope for the best.

01:09:07Thank you, doctor.

01:09:14Hello?

01:09:27The job is done.

01:09:29Good.

01:09:30And don't ever call this number again.

01:09:42Will she be okay?

01:09:43I don't know.

01:09:45We're going to have to wait and see if she wakes from the coma.

01:09:48I'm sorry.

01:09:48I heard the news.

01:10:12Is this your doing?

01:10:13Don't be stupid.

01:10:15I'd never hurt Violet.

01:10:17She would have been with me.

01:10:18She would have been safe.

01:10:19You need to leave before I lose my patience.

01:10:24Wanted to give you the courtesy of a heads up to vacate your offices.

01:10:27You think I care about that at a time like this?

01:10:30You should.

01:10:31Pretty soon you won't have enough money to pay for Violet's hospital bills.

01:10:35It's going to be a press conference.

01:10:36It would be good for you to be there.

01:10:38Today marks a great day for the Ashworth Family Company.

01:11:07As we take over Grey Lake Capital.

01:11:09I'd like to bring up the former CEO of Grey Lake to resign publicly.

01:11:14Looks like I win again, Sean.

01:11:16Hello.

01:11:19Today I announce my resignation as CEO of Grey Lake.

01:11:24I'd like to introduce you to the new co-CEO of the Ashworth Company.

01:11:35Go ahead, Violet.

01:11:38Thanks.

01:11:38Hi.

01:11:39I am here to announce that my husband, Sean, and I are now the majority shareholders of

01:11:47the Ashworth Company.

01:11:48Happy.

01:11:49There's no way.

01:11:51No mess.

01:11:51As the new CEO's, our first order of business will be to fire Ian and the rest of the Ashworth

01:11:58family.

01:11:59Except Mr. Ashworth, of course.

01:12:02From the board of directors.

01:12:04But that is not all.

01:12:07I'd like to introduce you to the new co-CEO of the Ashworth Company.

01:12:24What?

01:12:38Hi.

01:12:40Nurse.

01:12:42Nurse.

01:12:51Nurse.

01:12:53Nurse.

01:12:54Nurse.

01:12:54This is all my fault.

01:12:57No.

01:13:00No, it's not.

01:13:03I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

01:13:07Maybe...

01:13:10I can't help but think this has something to do with the Ashworths.

01:13:14I'm just happy that I can finally tell you I found my mom's letter.

01:13:19She never wanted me to marry Ian.

01:13:21She just wanted me to be happy.

01:13:27I should have never sought revenge.

01:13:29What a waste of time. I almost lost you.

01:13:34In just a few hours, the Ashworth Family Company will be taking over Grey Lake Capital

01:13:39in what many are calling a hostile takeover.

01:13:42Is that still happening?

01:13:43I have to go soon to the press conference and sign off on the transfer of shares.

01:13:47A transfer of shares?

01:13:49How many are you getting?

01:13:51Just a few. But I already own some. So we'll be okay.

01:13:55I think I might have a plan that could save us.

01:13:57Thanks to the shares that Sean acquired from the takeover of his company, plus the additional shares that he bought out of kindness from Franklin Platt, as well as the shares that I was gifted by Grandpa Ashworth for my wedding.

01:14:03We now have enough shares to take over the entire company.

01:14:09Please, please, have mercy. I can't be poor.

01:14:10You know, I found my mother's letter. She paid for me to attend school and paid off the apartment too. Yet you treated me like I was a leech.

01:14:15It's a misunderstanding. You have to let us keep the house at least.

01:14:16It's a misunderstanding. You have to let us keep the house at least.

01:14:21You can keep the house. But I'm not going to pay for the cleaning staff, so... I hope that you know how to use a mop.

01:14:27Arrest that man.

01:14:28For what?

01:14:29For fraudulent reporting of company profits for the IRS.

01:14:39You can't do this.

01:14:40No, you can't do this.

01:14:42How dare you do this?

01:14:44Arrest that man.

01:14:45For what?

01:14:46For fraudulent reporting of company profits for the IRS.

01:14:49You can't do this.

01:14:50Take care of for her.

01:14:52No, no.

01:14:53No, no, no.

01:14:54No, no, no, no.

01:14:57No, you can't do this for me. I'm rich. I'm rich!

01:15:01Mommy, help me.

01:15:03How dare you touch him! No photos! I will have you all fired!

01:15:07Ian!

01:15:08Get you, Sean!

01:15:13What's this?

01:15:14My resume. Just in case.

01:15:19Are press conferences always this fun?

01:15:21Everything is fun after a coma.

01:15:24I thought you hated grand gestures.

01:15:27Mmm.

01:15:48Sean, you don't have to propose. We're already married.

01:15:52But I need to do this. I never got to give you a real engagement ring.

01:15:56I love you, Violet.

01:16:00I love you, too.

01:16:02And I promise to cherish and spoil you.

01:16:06As long as I live.

01:16:08Better.

01:16:09Wait.

01:16:10Where's Jane?

01:16:11My sweet angel, don't you worry. Mommy will fix this. I will see the end of you. Oh, darling, don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry.

01:16:19You were under arrest for tempting murder.

01:16:20What? I'm innocent. You have no proof.

01:16:21They caught the guy who stabbed me.

01:16:22He said you paid him with this.

01:16:23He said you paid him with this.

01:16:24I don't know what you're talking about.

01:16:25He already confessed. Jane. It's over.

01:16:27It's over.

01:16:28It's over.

01:16:29It seems this love story.

01:16:30It's over.

01:16:31Jane.
