00:02:34It's no big deal.

00:02:37Take care.

00:02:45Can you tell he has no interest in you?

00:02:48Well, he's clearly not interested in you guys either.

00:02:53What the hell? You can't touch her.

00:03:19Let's go, ladies.

00:03:23Stop dreaming.

00:03:27Guys like him will never be interested in someone like me.

00:03:33What?

00:03:34Why do I need to marry your friend's daughter?

00:03:36So what if her father helped you out?

00:03:38It doesn't have to destroy my life!

00:03:40It's not like that, Max.

00:03:42Mr. Taylor's daughter is a lovely girl.

00:03:45You'll like her.

00:03:47The marriage will benefit both sides.

00:03:49If you want to give up your inheritance right to the Veragold Group, feel free to ignore us.

00:03:55Oh, fucking asshole!

00:04:08Hey, who threw that phone?

00:04:11Oh.

00:04:13Sorry, boss.

00:04:13Mom, what if he doesn't like me?

00:04:24I mean, should I really be marrying someone that I don't even know?

00:04:27Oh, do this for me, Alice.

00:04:29Please.

00:04:31Things have been tough since you're...

00:04:34Since we lost your father.

00:04:36And from now on, we're going by my surname.

00:04:44So, you won't be Alice Taylor anymore.

00:04:48You'll be Alice Smith.

00:04:49What?

00:04:50No.

00:04:51It's how it has to be, Alice.

00:04:54We need the Brown support.

00:04:57Please.

00:04:58Okay.

00:05:06I'll do it for you, Mom.

00:05:15Boss, I suggest you take these.

00:05:19For what?

00:05:20Well, if this woman isn't what you want, then better not let her see your face and fall in love.

00:05:27Good idea.

00:05:28So, seeing as we are already married, maybe we should go grab a coffee and get to know each other?

00:05:53Are you serious?

00:05:54Who is this guy?

00:05:55Okay.

00:05:58Well, quickly, sir.

00:06:10We don't want to be late.

00:06:10Congrats.

00:06:31When will he arrive?

00:06:33Oh, don't worry, Alice.

00:06:34It must be a traffic jam.

00:06:36He will come soon.

00:06:38What?

00:06:39Come back now!

00:06:40Don't you know today's your wedding?

00:06:42My flight to Australia is leaving in ten minutes, and I already signed the contract papers.

00:06:46You got what you wanted, Dad.

00:06:48Goodbye.

00:06:48So pathetic.

00:06:49I heard the bride's father recently passed away, and she's marrying him just to save her family financially.

00:07:00The groom probably figured out her tricks and ran away.

00:07:03Who wants to marry a gold digger, anyway?

00:07:05You said you never beat your wife, Mr. Carter.

00:07:20Let's welcome our investigator, Ms. Alice Smith, then.

00:07:23Okay.

00:07:35These are just some of the graphic images of my client, after a particularly hostile exchange

00:07:50with the defendant.

00:07:51And might I add, Mr. Carter, that your bedroom window opens up into the living room of your

00:07:56neighbor's house, who just so happens to be a photographer.

00:08:00I would consider my career and reputation if I were you, Mr. Carter.

00:08:21Henry, you know any marriage investigators in the city?

00:08:24Why an investigator? I thought you were going to find a lawyer directly.

00:08:28We're going to need some proof first.

00:08:30You know, these cases don't tend to swing in favor of the husbands.

00:08:33Not to mention if that woman gets greedy and tries to take everything from us.

00:08:37That makes sense.

00:08:38Well, I heard the best investigator here is a young lady named Alice Smith.

00:08:43Hmm.

00:08:48This is Alice Smith!

00:08:50What the hell's going on?

00:09:02Well, sorry lady, but you stopped all of a sudden.

00:09:05I don't have time for this. Here, take my card and we'll figure it out later.

00:09:10And next time, watch where you're going.

00:09:13So it's our fault.

00:09:18That's interesting.

00:09:22Alice Smith?

00:09:28Max, why don't you meet that woman and decide if you want a divorce or not?

00:09:32Maybe you'll like her.

00:09:33That sounds like the last thing I want to be doing.

00:09:36How do you know?

00:09:38Because I'm not interested in meeting someone who uses marriage as a tool.

00:09:42Are you sure that's what she's doing?

00:09:45Is there any other reason that a woman would marry somebody that they don't even know?

00:09:49Hmm.

00:09:50Makes sense.

00:09:52UGH!

00:09:53You're ruining my life, Alice!

00:09:58I can't live without my wife!

00:10:00Just calm down, okay?

00:10:02I'm just doing my job.

00:10:03Besides, you should know that an unhappy marriage ends in a grave for one or both parties.

00:10:08I don't give a damn!

00:10:09Stay out of my marriage!

00:10:11You're ruining everything for me!

00:10:12Let go of me or I'll call the police!

00:10:15What the fuck is going on?

00:10:20Leave the lady alone.

00:10:21What if I say no?

00:10:24Oh!

00:10:25Ow!

00:10:26Ow!

00:10:27Ow!

00:10:28You're hurting me!

00:10:29Get out.

00:10:37What are you guys doing here?

00:10:39Uh, allow me to formally introduce you to...

00:10:54This is Max Brown, the CEO of Legend Group.

00:10:57And I guess you are Miss Alice Smith.

00:11:00Who would have thought you're the investigator we're looking for?

00:11:04Thank you for your help earlier.

00:11:06Please, take a seat.

00:11:07Could Max be...?

00:11:08No.

00:11:09My husband's company is Faribold Group.

00:11:10Not Legend Group.

00:11:11Mr. Brown, I already have my fair share of clients and headaches.

00:11:16Especially after this morning, now I have to go to the car shop.

00:11:18So, why should I take your case?

00:11:20Well, let's not allow past conflicts to cloud your judgment.

00:11:21Uh, as you said, an unhappy marriage is a grave.

00:11:26Okay.

00:11:27I'll take your case.

00:11:28Really?

00:11:29Yes.

00:11:30I'll take your case.

00:11:31Really?

00:11:32Yes.

00:11:33I believe everyone deserves a fair chance.

00:11:36So, tell me about your wife.

00:11:38Why do you want to get the divorce?

00:11:39What's the...

00:11:40Okay.

00:11:41I'm not losing this.

00:11:42Well, I don't think so.

00:11:43It's not losing the case.

00:11:44And...

00:11:45It's losing the case.

00:11:46But then, I'll take your case.

00:11:47I'll take your case.

00:11:48Well, let's not allow past conflicts to cloud your judgment.

00:11:49Uh, as you said, an unhappy marriage is a grave.

00:11:52Okay.

00:11:53I'll take your case.

00:11:54Really?

00:11:55Yes.

00:11:56I believe everyone deserves a fair chance.

00:11:59So, tell me about your wife.

00:12:01Why do you want to get the divorce? What's the main issue in the relationship?

00:12:05I just don't know anything about the woman.

00:12:07My parents arranged the marriage years ago.

00:12:12Interesting.

00:12:13Well, have you given any thought to how you want to divide up the property?

00:12:18Yes.

00:12:19I have set aside ten million dollars.

00:12:23If she requests anything else, I'm prepared to take care of it.

00:12:26That's very generous.

00:12:28You may not need my help.

00:12:31Now, hold on.

00:12:34We've been married for four years now.

00:12:37It's a dead marriage.

00:12:38For all we know, she's planning something.

00:12:40Four years.

00:12:42What was the name of your wife?

00:12:44Oh, her...

00:12:47The name...

00:12:51Her name...

00:12:52Oh, I'm sorry. I need to take this.

00:12:55Hello?

00:12:56Alice, Max has just returned.

00:12:59Come to my home and I'll introduce you guys.

00:13:01Okay.

00:13:05Um, I have an emergency that I need to handle.

00:13:08So, I will take a look at your case and I'll get back to you later.

00:13:12Not that professional, is she?

00:13:17I think you should ask for more detailed information from your mom first.

00:13:21Yeah, let's do it.

00:13:26Mom, please. I have no interest in this woman.

00:13:29Give it at least a month.

00:13:31By then, if you still want a divorce, I'll agree.

00:13:35Deal.

00:13:42Hi, Emma.

00:13:43Come on in, Allie.

00:13:44You look gorgeous.

00:13:45Yeah.

00:13:46Max is waiting for you.

00:13:48Okay.

00:13:49You probably felt bad about not having a gift.

00:13:53Don't worry, you'll meet him later.

00:13:55Max is waiting for you.

00:14:07He probably felt bad about not having a gift.

00:14:10Don't worry, you'll meet him later.

00:14:13Right.

00:14:15You know, I have some work that I could get done all uber-home.

00:14:24Max, where did you go?

00:14:43Let's stop wasting our time.

00:14:45We agreed to give it a month.

00:14:47No, Nate, I already hired a very good investigator to find proof, and later I'll find a lawyer for a divorce.

00:14:53Oh, Jesus.

00:14:54He said he'll meet you later, after better preparation.

00:15:06I hope you don't blame him for leaving without notice four years ago.

00:15:09No, Emma, I understand that it's a difficult situation.

00:15:15Tomorrow there's an important charity event.

00:15:17Make sure you go.

00:15:18I'll take care of the rest.

00:15:19A charity event.

00:15:21Okay.

00:15:22Henry, tomorrow's charity event?

00:15:27Make sure Max goes, okay?

00:15:29Why don't you tell him directly?

00:15:32I don't want him to suspect anything.

00:15:36His sweet wife, Allie, will be there, too.

00:15:37I must make sure he doesn't run away this time.

00:15:43I see.

00:15:44Wait.

00:15:45His wife's name is Allie?

00:15:48Does she happen to work in a law firm?

00:15:50Yes.

00:15:50Why?

00:15:51I gotta go now.

00:15:54Wait.

00:15:57Wait.

00:15:58What?

00:15:59Arrange to donate in Alice's name at the charity dinner.

00:16:03Max likes girls who are passionate about meaningful social events.

00:16:07He may fall for her after that.

00:16:09Will the event be hosted under the name of Legend or Verigold Group?

00:16:12Legend Group.

00:16:13I want our new branch to build its reputation.

00:16:16Okay.

00:16:23Dude, let me ask.

00:16:25You sure about the divorce?

00:16:26Yes.

00:16:28How sure are you?

00:16:30A hundred percent sure.

00:16:32Why?

00:16:33Well, you better leave some room for more possibilities.

00:16:38Where'd you go earlier?

00:16:40Went back to visit the chairwoman.

00:16:42I see.

00:16:44So my mom's trying to get you to persuade me to give up on the divorce.

00:16:48That's right.

00:16:49But.

00:16:50Shut up.

00:16:52Hold on.

00:16:53Do you know who your wife is?

00:16:56I've heard enough about that one.

00:16:57Are you sure?

00:16:58You seemed interested in the investigator, but I actually found out that she-

00:17:01Enough!

00:17:05What?

00:17:05Henry, you're trying to just set me up, right?

00:17:08How much is my mom paying you?

00:17:10What?

00:17:11Come on.

00:17:12Please, okay?

00:17:14I need to focus on the Legend Group Charity Gala event.

00:17:17It's going to be tomorrow.

00:17:20After that, we can talk about this whole so-called wife later.

00:17:24Max, there's something you really should know!

00:17:26Save it!

00:17:27Please.

00:17:29Enough.

00:17:38Boss, there's someone here to see you.

00:17:40Well, I don't have any meetings on today.

00:17:45When did you start scheduling my meetings, Henry?

00:17:48I just thought it was somebody that you'd like to see.

00:17:51I think she's outside.

00:17:52Hold on.

00:17:53Oh, hi, Alice.

00:17:59Oh, hi, Alice.

00:18:02Oh, hi, Alice.

00:18:08What's up?

00:18:10What are you doing here?

00:18:12Henry said that you wanted to see me.

00:18:14Right.

00:18:14I just wanted to talk more about the case.

00:18:23Right.

00:18:24Yeah, I'm really sorry for leaving so abruptly earlier.

00:18:28No need to apologize.

00:18:30Actually, I had a question I wanted to ask you.

00:18:32Um, we're doing the Legend Group Charity Gal event tomorrow.

00:18:37You want to join me?

00:18:38You want me to join you?

00:18:41Oh, you want to make your wife jealous so she agrees to sign the divorce papers.

00:18:46Smart, uh, yeah.

00:18:47Yeah.

00:18:48Also, don't forget that I'm the victim here.

00:18:52This marriage is just a whole farce.

00:18:55What a coincidence.

00:18:57Emma also invited me.

00:18:58Alice, you look, uh, ravishing tonight.

00:19:12What the hell, Tom?

00:19:16What the hell, Tom?

00:19:19Alice, how dare you seduce my husband?

00:19:22What are you talking about?

00:19:23How can someone like you attend such a high-class event anyway?

00:19:31Well, Linda, if someone like you can be here, I can definitely be here.

00:19:36I heard your husband left the country four years ago just to get away from you.

00:19:42How horrible is that?

00:19:45Actually, she's my wife.

00:19:50And I don't allow anyone to talk to my wife like that.

00:19:52You are?

00:19:55Show some respect or I'm going to call security.

00:19:57We all know Alice's husband fled the country four years ago just to get away from her.

00:20:03Yeah, well, he's back now.

00:20:07Tom, the CEO of Legend Group would like to meet with you at tonight's gala.

00:20:11I just got a call, and tonight, I'm meeting a very important contact.

00:20:18Really, honey?

00:20:20Let's go.

00:20:21Let's not waste time on these low-class people.

00:20:33Thanks.

00:20:34Sure.

00:20:41All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for tonight's main event.

00:20:46Tonight's winner, who donates the most, will receive a special collaboration opportunity

00:20:51with our sponsor, Legend Group.

00:20:55I heard the value of the collaboration is worth more than the top donation amount last year.

00:21:03So let's get it.

00:21:05I'll donate 10 million.

00:21:0610 million.

00:21:0850 million.

00:21:1050 million.

00:21:1160 million.

00:21:1260 million.

00:21:13100 million.

00:21:16100 million.

00:21:19Going once.

00:21:20Going through.

00:21:21Oh, wow.

00:21:25Seems that a mysterious donor by the name of Alice just donated 200 million dollars.

00:21:32It wasn't me.

00:21:34It's just a coincidence, right?

00:21:40Alice?

00:21:42Alice?

00:21:44There is no way that the Alice who donated is this same Alice.

00:21:48Where would she get all that money, huh?

00:21:49Tell me, what kind of tricks are you guys trying to pull here?

00:21:53Oh, what are you doing to my boss?

00:21:56Henry, your boss?

00:21:58This is Max, the CEO of Legend Group.

00:22:01He's the important person I was going to introduce you to tonight.

00:22:04What?

00:22:10Get better, Alice.

00:22:19Mom, will you send me my wife's number?

00:22:23I'm confused.

00:22:27Oh, my head.

00:22:30Yeah, I think I have low blood sugar.

00:22:33Hey.

00:22:35Hey.

00:22:36Have something to eat.

00:22:37It's going to make you feel better.

00:22:49You know, I noticed that your husband didn't show up yet.

00:22:57How's your relationship with him, if you don't mind me asking?

00:23:02Actually, I do mind.

00:23:04I don't really want to talk about him.

00:23:07I understand.

00:23:19Who is this?

00:23:32Where's my wife?

00:23:33Hello?

00:23:34Who am I speaking to?

00:23:36Yes, I'm fine.

00:23:38I'll be okay.

00:23:40I just need to rest.

00:23:42Hello?

00:23:43She's probably speaking to her husband now.

00:23:45Hello?

00:23:45But I shouldn't inquire.

00:23:46Besides, I have my own problems to deal with.

00:23:48I love you, too.

00:23:50Okay.

00:23:51Bye.

00:23:59Max.

00:24:00I checked the donation details.

00:24:03It's your wife who made the donation.

00:24:06Hmm.

00:24:06I see.

00:24:08I guess it can't be Alice Smith.

00:24:10There's no way she'd be able to afford it.

00:24:12Well, you know, there is another woman at the law firm named Allie.

00:24:15One of their high-profile lawyers.

00:24:16I can look into her instead.

00:24:19Yeah.

00:24:20Go do that.

00:24:24Who is that, babe?

00:24:26I don't know.

00:24:26Probably one of Alice's clients.

00:24:28I'm surprised she hasn't realized yet because she left her work phone in your office.

00:24:32Okay.

00:24:33Forget about her.

00:24:34Stephen, you said you would divorce your wife by now.

00:24:37How long are you going to keep me waiting?

00:24:39Okay.

00:24:40I'll settle things with her tonight.

00:24:41Okay.

00:24:46Hello?

00:24:58Hey.

00:25:00Well, we haven't seen each other in four years.

00:25:01I bet we can get a divorce.

00:25:03How about I give you $10 million?

00:25:05Is this Alice's husband?

00:25:06The one she's never even met?

00:25:08Wow, he's rich.

00:25:09Let me see what I can get out of this.

00:25:11What?

00:25:13Aw.

00:25:13Okay.

00:25:14I understand.

00:25:16Why don't we meet and talk?

00:25:17Good.

00:25:18I got a place in mind.

00:25:19Would you believe it, Alice?

00:25:29I thought my wife is cheating on me.

00:25:32I need to go and sort this out.

00:25:34Would you come with me?

00:25:35Yeah.

00:25:36Sure.

00:25:37But don't say too much.

00:25:39Okay?

00:25:40Let's remember.

00:25:41Let her speak first.

00:25:42Okay.

00:25:49Allie?

00:25:58Oh, so I guess you're investigating me now.

00:26:01Wait, you two know each other?

00:26:03Yeah, we work at the same law firm.

00:26:12What are you looking at?

00:26:14Is that limited edition?

00:26:15I think I saw it in a magazine.

00:26:19Let's get to the point.

00:26:21I don't want a divorce unless you pay me enough.

00:26:24Okay, well, is 10 million enough?

00:26:26That's not even enough to pay for your watch.

00:26:31Okay.

00:26:32How much is enough?

00:26:35Let me think.

00:26:43Okay, while you're thinking about that,

00:26:45why don't you go figure out a number

00:26:47and then you can come back.

00:26:48For now, I need to talk with Alice.

00:26:53Okay.

00:27:06Max, I'm really sorry that you're going through this.

00:27:08I mean,

00:27:09Allie is clearly using your own emotions to extort you.

00:27:13Well, you know, it's like you said, Alice.

00:27:14An unhappy marriage is a grave.

00:27:18I'm just really happy that you're here.

00:27:21Thanks.

00:27:21Of course.

00:27:23Actually,

00:27:24I got you something.

00:27:31Wow.

00:27:37Max, I can't accept this.

00:27:38This is too nice.

00:27:39No, no.

00:27:42Please.

00:27:43I insist, okay?

00:27:44It's just a gift from a friend.

00:27:48Thanks.

00:27:57Oh, Alice.

00:28:00This is Mr. Roberts.

00:28:02He's the manager of the cafe.

00:28:03Mr. Roberts, Alice.

00:28:04She's been a great help to me lately.

00:28:05Hello, Alice.

00:28:06Lovely to meet you.

00:28:07Sorry, I actually have to take this.

00:28:11What a strange way for Max to introduce his wife.

00:28:14Would you like to order now, Mr. Brown,

00:28:16or should we wait for your wife?

00:28:17Please.

00:28:18Not just any woman is my wife.

00:28:19Oh, I see.

00:28:21They must have had a fight.

00:28:22Perhaps it was something to do with that other woman.

00:28:24Very well.

00:28:25I shall await for the lady.

00:28:29Hey, Emma.

00:28:30Alice, did Max call you?

00:28:32He said he's been trying to reach you.

00:28:34No, he hasn't called, actually.

00:28:37Oh, you know what?

00:28:38I think I gave you my work phone number.

00:28:40I don't check that one as often.

00:28:42Oh, that's a relief.

00:28:43I was worried.

00:28:45Emma, can you send me Max's number again?

00:28:47Okay.

00:28:48Great.

00:28:49Thanks.

00:28:49Okay, Mom.

00:28:57Hi.

00:28:58I'm going through with the divorce.

00:28:59Please, I think that woman's a gold digger.

00:29:01No way!

00:29:02She's not that kind of woman.

00:29:03Are you meeting with someone new?

00:29:08Yes.

00:29:09Yes, actually I am.

00:29:10And she's kind.

00:29:12She's got this grace about her.

00:29:15Uh, sorry.

00:29:16I gotta go.

00:29:16Mom, I'll call you later.

00:29:17Okay.

00:29:19I didn't mean for you to overhear that.

00:29:23Sorry.

00:29:24I didn't realize you were there.

00:29:26That's okay.

00:29:27I'm glad you think so highly of me.

00:29:31I do.

00:29:33I mean, I really do.

00:29:49There's you.

00:29:57So, Cousin Max, you have got to tell me all about what you've been up to down under.

00:30:03Huh?

00:30:03A little thunder from down under, I expect.

00:30:06Well, it, uh, it isn't a short story I could tell you that much, Mike.

00:30:11But first, since when did you get back from the UK?

00:30:14Oh, I, uh, well, I just got back.

00:30:18Yeah.

00:30:18Right after my parents divorced.

00:30:21It's a little sensitive.

00:30:22Sorry, boss.

00:30:23It's time to go.

00:30:24Why give a shit about him?

00:30:36Remember how his dad tried to steal power from your father?

00:30:38Yeah, but at the end of the day, we're all family.

00:30:41I heard it was all his idea.

00:30:43And he's the one who controls his father.

00:30:45Be careful.

00:30:48Henry.

00:30:49Don't worry about it.

00:30:51Okay?

00:30:52What's the worst thing you could do?

00:30:53No.

00:30:54Max, it's Alice.

00:31:09Can we talk?

00:31:10Alice?

00:31:12Max's wife.

00:31:14It's about us.

00:31:15Emma said that we should talk.

00:31:19Yes.

00:31:20I have been looking forward to seeing you two.

00:31:24I have been looking forward to seeing you two.

00:31:34Really?

00:31:35I thought you'd hate to see me.

00:31:36No.

00:31:37No way.

00:31:40Say, why don't we meet up sometime next week?

00:31:43Okay.

00:31:44Let's do it.

00:31:44Great.

00:31:45Oh, and, Alice, I don't use this phone often.

00:31:51Let me give you my main number.

00:31:54No problem.

00:32:04Hmm.

00:32:06I knew you'd come back for his phone.

00:32:15Max, I have something for you.

00:32:20The woman you said you met yesterday, she sounded different than I expected, so I did some digging.

00:32:26I can't believe my mother still likes this woman.

00:32:28I'm sorry, Max.

00:32:29The evidence is undeniable.

00:32:31She did have an affair with her boss.

00:32:32We need to handle this carefully.

00:32:37Henry, I want you to follow up on this information, and I need you to keep this information under wraps.

00:32:41This is strictly family matter.

00:32:43Understood.

00:32:43I'll do everything I can to uncover the truth.

00:32:46Thanks, Henry.

00:32:46No, I'm really, really looking forward to seeing you.

00:32:54It's been so long.

00:32:56I can't wait either.

00:32:59And Emma said that you're planning the wedding, right?

00:33:03Yes.

00:33:04And I never stopped thinking about you, Alice.

00:33:07Why don't we just meet today?

00:33:09I'm at Greensdale Mall right now.

00:33:12That sounds great.

00:33:13I'll be there as soon as I can.

00:33:16Great.

00:33:17So many years have passed, Max.

00:33:19I'm so happy I found you again.

00:33:25Alice?

00:33:28Max!

00:33:30What are you doing here?

00:33:31You shopping for a hot date?

00:33:33As a matter of fact, yes.

00:33:35I am.

00:33:37Huh.

00:33:38Well, I hope he's worthy of you.

00:33:40I think so.

00:33:42You know what?

00:33:44I got a card for this mall.

00:33:45Take it.

00:33:46Use it for whatever you want.

00:33:48No.

00:33:49I can't do that.

00:33:50Please.

00:33:52For all the help that you gave me?

00:33:56Okay.

00:34:00Sure.

00:34:06Alice?

00:34:13What are you doing here?

00:34:17I'm shopping, Linda.

00:34:18What does it look like?

00:34:19Shopping.

00:34:20Of course.

00:34:21And I'm sure the only thing you can afford here

00:34:24is that iced coffee.

00:34:29Use your bags, miss.

00:34:31When you're ready, please pay with card.

00:34:34Thank you, Lucy.

00:34:36What?

00:34:38Thank you, Lucy.

00:34:40What?

00:34:41Hold on.

00:34:42Hold on.

00:34:43You can't afford this.

00:34:45Yes, I can.

00:34:49These are designer.

00:34:52And?

00:34:54Whatever.

00:34:55Just don't ask me to cover you later.

00:34:58You know, actually, Linda,

00:35:01I bet you couldn't afford these.

00:35:03You don't think I can?

00:35:04Please.

00:35:13And here's your receipt

00:35:15for $19,999.

00:35:18I'm sorry, how much?

00:35:30$20,000?

00:35:31Linda, what the hell did you buy?

00:35:33Tom, it's...

00:35:34It's just the shopping bill.

00:35:37Yes, it's a lot,

00:35:38but I had to save base.

00:35:41Stay where you are.

00:35:41I'm coming to find you.

00:35:46Linda, what's the meaning behind this?

00:35:49It's all a trick, babe.

00:35:51She made me pay for it.

00:35:53Excuse me?

00:35:54Alice, you conned Linda

00:35:57into paying for your shit?

00:35:58I didn't con anyone, okay?

00:36:00She paid before I had the chance to.

00:36:02You scam artist!

00:36:04Well, I want my money back.

00:36:08Don't you touch her.

00:36:11Who the hell are you?

00:36:14I'm her husband.

00:36:17Now back off

00:36:18if you don't want any trouble.

00:36:19I should have been here sooner.

00:36:35Alice, I'm sorry.

00:36:37I'm so sorry I left you four years ago.

00:36:40I've really been regretting it every day since.

00:36:45It's okay.

00:36:47I'm just glad you're here now.

00:36:54Alice?

00:36:56That's probably her husband.

00:36:58I'll even be.

00:36:59Come on in.

00:37:12Max, why don't you live at home?

00:37:15Well, I've been traveling a lot

00:37:17from work lately.

00:37:18I guess I just...

00:37:22I'm not used to hotels.

00:37:26It's cozy.

00:37:29I do try to make it feel like off.

00:37:34Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry.

00:37:38Let me help you.

00:37:39I'm fine.

00:37:42Seeing as we barely know each other,

00:37:44I think I need more time.

00:37:51Alice.

00:37:57Alice.

00:37:58Alice, Alice, Alice.

00:38:01Are you playing hard to get?

00:38:04Yes.

00:38:05Did you see?

00:38:14Hi, um, can I get a towel, please?

00:38:19Alice!

00:38:23Max!

00:38:25Hi.

00:38:26Oh.

00:38:30Max, what are you doing here?

00:38:33Alice, it is so good to see you.

00:38:35You're drunk.

00:38:38Mm-mm.

00:38:40It must be because of his wife.

00:38:43Let's get you home.

00:38:45Come on.

00:38:46I'll take you.

00:38:48Oh.

00:38:50Okay, if we'll just...

00:38:51We'll this way.

00:38:52And then we're gonna go to your room.

00:38:54Here, hold.

00:38:55Careful, careful, careful.

00:38:56Alice.

00:39:00Alice.

00:39:02Matt, we shouldn't...

00:39:05I know.

00:39:07But I missed you.

00:39:12Yeah.

00:39:14Good night.

00:39:15Bye.

00:39:22What am I doing?

00:39:23Why do I like him more than my own husband?

00:39:25Max, I saw your wife with another man.

00:39:34She went into a hotel and...

00:39:35Oh, I, uh...

00:39:39Didn't realize you were with Alice.

00:39:46What's going on, Henry?

00:39:48I saw Max's wife.

00:39:50I thought you should know.

00:39:52So she is cheating on him.

00:39:54Yeah.

00:39:56She's arrogant enough to cheat during the divorce.

00:39:58I should go.

00:40:05Wait, Alice, I'm sorry for the intrusion.

00:40:09Alice, please, don't go.

00:40:10What's going on?

00:40:17Oranges?

00:40:18Actually, that's not me.

00:40:18That's at the house in the country.

00:40:21How about this?

00:40:22Max and Alice.

00:40:24Two hearts yearning for love.

00:40:26If only they knew how perfect they are for each other.

00:40:30I wouldn't be able to do this without you.

00:40:32Alice, I need to ask you something.

00:40:38It's about Max?

00:40:40Yeah.

00:40:41What is it?

00:40:42I see how you two could be happy together.

00:40:45Help him get the divorce soon and do it for the both of you.

00:40:50I have a husband.

00:40:52He has a wife.

00:40:53I'm here on a job.

00:40:55To help him get a divorce, I...

00:40:57Henry, please don't suggest something like that again.

00:40:59Let's just keep this professional.

00:41:02Allie, this is for the exceptional job you did last night.

00:41:14It is truly well-deserved.

00:41:16I love it.

00:41:18Put it on me.

00:41:28And...

00:41:29This is ready.

00:41:33Now I have all I need.

00:41:34We're going to get a lot of money.

00:41:36A lot.

00:41:39We're going to be richie!

00:41:40I'm sorry.

00:41:53I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:41:55You weren't interrupting.

00:41:56We were just...

00:41:58Actually, I'm here on business.

00:42:02As you know, Max commissioned me to handle his divorce file.

00:42:06Oh, well, he should give me what I asked for.

00:42:10According to the terms, I am entitled to half his property.

00:42:13If this divorce goes public, his company's stock will tank, and we'll see who loses out then.

00:42:17I understand your position, Allie, but Max is firm on this, and he's willing to fight for what's right.

00:42:25Also, he knows about the affair you're having.

00:42:28Hello, I need to file a divorce case.

00:42:41Sorry, I don't take cheap cases like yours.

00:42:44But I need help.

00:42:46I handle high-profile cases, not common ones.

00:42:52I can help you.

00:42:54Thank you so much.

00:42:56I'm Alice. What's your name?

00:42:58Mr. Thompson Brown.

00:42:59I'm one of the board members at Legend Group.

00:43:06Lovely to meet you.

00:43:07Good to meet you.

00:43:08Mr. Brown, I apologize for any misunderstanding.

00:43:11Allie doesn't normally act like this.

00:43:13I came here to assess if your firm was worthy of our business.

00:43:19I didn't expect to be met with such arrogance, especially from a lawyer.

00:43:23Mr. Brown.

00:43:24Enough, Allie.

00:43:24You've made a grave error in judgment.

00:43:27You need to apologize to Mr. Brown right now.

00:43:30You may be the board member of the Legend Group, but I am the wife of the CEO, so why should I give a shit about you?

00:43:36Wow.

00:43:37I'll show you what I can do.

00:43:39Just you wait.

00:43:41Please!

00:43:44I've decided that in the future, I will seek your services alone.

00:43:48Not this law firm, but you alone.

00:43:53Actually, I'm not a lawyer.

00:43:54I'm just a marriage investigator.

00:43:56That's quite all right.

00:43:57I'm sure you'll get along great with our lawyers.

00:43:58You have made good progress on this case, Alice.

00:44:09I'm impressed.

00:44:11I apologize if I'm overstepping here, but I was wondering if you'd be interested in meeting my son, Michael.

00:44:20He's a fine young man.

00:44:23Well, I heard what you were about to suggest, Thompson.

00:44:26I must advise against it.

00:44:29Allie is married, and your son is not the type of person she should be involved with anyway.

00:44:36I assure you, Michael is a gentleman that would treat Alice with the utmost respect.

00:44:44I suggest only an introduction.

00:44:46Strictly professional.

00:44:46I know my daughter-in-law's value, and I won't have her entangled in your son's affairs.

00:44:56Allie, we should go.

00:45:01Thank you, Mr. Brown.

00:45:02I really appreciate the consideration, but I really should respect my mother-in-law's wishes.

00:45:08Of course, Alice.

00:45:16Missed opportunity, indeed.

00:45:21Allie, there are things about our family that you don't know, especially Mr. Brown and his son, Michael.

00:45:28He's not a good man.

00:45:30Why?

00:45:32What makes you say that?

00:45:39Michael went abroad after failing to seize control of family business.

00:45:43But now that he's back, he's looking to expand his reach.

00:45:47And your connection to Max makes you a valuable pawn in his games.

00:45:57That's awful.

00:45:58I refuse to be taken advantage of.

00:46:02I really thought Mr. Brown was different.

00:46:07Guess I was wrong.

00:46:08Thank you, Emma.

00:46:10Stay vigilant, Allie.

00:46:13Now, tonight, dress well.

00:46:17I've arranged a special family dinner for us.

00:46:20And Max will be there, too.

00:46:24Okay.

00:46:26I'll be there.

00:46:27Thank you, Emma.

00:46:36So, Allie, have you had a chance to meet with Max yet?

00:46:40Yes, we've met.

00:46:41He's been very enthusiastic.

00:46:44Well, that's good to hear.

00:46:48It's important that our family is united.

00:46:51Right.

00:46:52Yes.

00:46:56What?

00:46:58The warehouse is on fire?

00:47:01Shit!

00:47:02I need to go.

00:47:04You stay here and wait for Max, okay?

00:47:05Okay.

00:47:07God.

00:47:07What is this traffic, Henry?

00:47:13We've been sitting here for like 15 minutes.

00:47:15You know what?

00:47:16I'm going to walk the rest.

00:47:18I'll see you there.

00:47:21I guess it's just me.

00:47:25Alice!

00:47:25Oh, Max!

00:47:31Alice!

00:47:34Max!

00:47:34I was beginning to think you got lost.

00:47:37Not at all.

00:47:39It's lovely to see you again.

00:47:41I hope I haven't been keeping you waiting.

00:47:43No, no.

00:47:44You haven't.

00:47:45It's nice to see you, too.

00:47:47And I'm sorry about the other night.

00:47:51It's okay.

00:47:53It wasn't your fault.

00:47:55Besides, that's why my mother gave us a chance to get to know each other more.

00:47:58Yeah.

00:48:00Thank you for making this work.

00:48:03Sure.

00:48:05What should we have?

00:48:08I'll tell you what.

00:48:10Let's enjoy a drink and then get out of here.

00:48:12There's something I want to show you.

00:48:16Okay.

00:48:18Great.

00:48:24Mom, where are you?

00:48:37I can't seem to find you or Allie.

00:48:39I'm dealing with the warehouse.

00:48:41She might have left.

00:48:43Next time, then.

00:48:44Ah.

00:48:45I see.

00:48:46Well, it's probably for the best.

00:48:49I wasn't really in the mood to see her tonight, anyway.

00:48:51Well, I thought we could have our own private dinner here.

00:49:05What do you think?

00:49:07It's beautiful, Max.

00:49:11Um, but why do you keep bringing me to hotels?

00:49:15Um, Alice, I understand that the last time wasn't the right time, seeing as I hadn't proposed yet.

00:49:26So, will you marry me?

00:49:33Max, um, this is all really sudden.

00:49:36I need time.

00:49:39Of course.

00:49:44But, uh, know that my feelings for you are genuine.

00:49:48I know this is really frustrating for you.

00:49:55I want you to know that I really do want to make this work between us.

00:49:57Oh, what the fuck was that?

00:50:22Huh?

00:50:24I don't understand you.

00:50:25You left, you left your stuff here to seduce me, didn't you?

00:50:35Huh?

00:50:37Didn't you?

00:50:39You're nothing like what I imagined, Max.

00:50:42I, I need time.

00:50:44I, I can't force myself.

00:50:46I'm sorry.

00:50:46Shut your mouth.

00:50:48Just say your lies.

00:50:50Okay?

00:50:51All you women are exactly sane.

00:50:54Now, I can finish.

00:50:58You started.

00:51:02Ah!

00:51:02Never!

00:51:03You weren't like this before!

00:51:05You fucking bitch!

00:51:07Ah!

00:51:10You can't escape me, Alice!

00:51:12I can't do this, anyone.

00:51:22I want a divorce.

00:51:24Ellie, are you sure?

00:51:26You were once so confident.

00:51:29Why can't you try and work things out?

00:51:31I just can't.

00:51:35The marriage isn't what I hoped for.

00:51:37Sorry, Emma.

00:51:39Yeah, I understand your feelings, but divorce is a serious step.

00:51:45Are you certain you can't find a way to cultivate these feelings again?

00:51:50No.

00:51:51I need to move on, for my own sake.

00:51:59You know what?

00:52:00Allie keeps going behind my back and sending dinners with my mom.

00:52:03I can't stand that one.

00:52:06You know, sometimes I think how nice it would be if I was married to a woman like Alice.

00:52:11You know, someone who understands me, who connects with me on a deeper level.

00:52:14You know what, man?

00:52:18Forget her.

00:52:20Alice is a great woman and all, but she's got a husband.

00:52:24And you have a wife.

00:52:26You need to face reality.

00:52:33Maybe it's time to end the show.

00:52:35Right?

00:52:44Hello, Mom.

00:52:47Max, Allie has agreed to the divorce.

00:52:49It's going to be a clean break.

00:52:52Really?

00:52:53That's great news.

00:52:55How'd you get the gold digger to suddenly change her mind?

00:52:58She was never a gold digger, Max.

00:53:00I want you to know that.

00:53:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:02Whatever you say, Mom.

00:53:05Henry, Allie finally decided for the divorce.

00:53:08What?

00:53:09That's unbelievable.

00:53:10Let's celebrate.

00:53:12Cheers, cheers.

00:53:13Mom, Mom along.

00:53:25Fuck, this woman is so annoying.

00:53:27She came to my mom's house.

00:53:29What are you doing here?

00:53:31I told you to leave me alone.

00:53:33I want to move on with my life.

00:53:36Have you no shame?

00:53:37I want to move on with my life.

00:53:46Yeah, you've got no shame?

00:53:47Because, see, on the surface, it seemed like you were good with the divorce.

00:53:51And now you're here trying to seduce me.

00:53:53What are you talking about?

00:53:55I'm not trying to seduce you.

00:53:57I'm done with your lies.

00:54:00Not lying.

00:54:01I came here to rest.

00:54:02Emma said that I could rest here.

00:54:04Save it for someone who cares.

00:54:10I'm done with your games.

00:54:14I'm not playing any games, Max.

00:54:21That voice sounded different.

00:54:23Alice, do you know that we've lost every one of our clients because of you?

00:54:40No, you can blame Mr. Thompson Brown for that.

00:54:43Actually, no, I would blame Allie for that.

00:54:46Hey, why don't you give me Max's divorce case?

00:54:49At least in my hands, I could save this law firm.

00:54:51Oh, you know, I highly doubt that.

00:54:54Plus, Max wouldn't agree to that.

00:54:57I already talked to him.

00:54:59And he already agreed.

00:55:02Well, if that's the case, then I'll wait for him to confirm it with me.

00:55:08Oh, Allie, have you seen my work phone anywhere?

00:55:11I must have missed like 10 calls.

00:55:13Why don't you handle your own shit?

00:55:19Alice, my wife is someone that we cannot trust.

00:55:31Last night was just so disappointing.

00:55:33She came into my mom's home and she tried to seduce me.

00:55:37That's awful.

00:55:39I'm really sorry, Max.

00:55:42I have to ask you.

00:55:43Did you pass off the case to my boss, Stephen?

00:55:47No.

00:55:48No, why?

00:55:50No reason, I guess.

00:55:51They just wanted more information from you.

00:55:55I can't stand that woman.

00:55:57I mean, she probably got a certificate from the lawyers just to exploit me.

00:56:01I can't comment on that.

00:56:03But what I can say is that there are good lawyers and bad lawyers,

00:56:07and I would never do that to you.

00:56:08That woman is nothing compared to you, Alice.

00:56:17Max, I really don't want to hurt you.

00:56:20I can't be what you want me to be.

00:56:22Let's just try to finish this and move on with our lives amicably.

00:56:33I see.

00:56:34I see.

00:56:38Alice, I've lost so much money,

00:56:47and my firm is dying because of you.

00:56:49If I can't be happy, neither can you.

00:56:52You're going to pay.

00:56:54Thanks for meeting me here again.

00:56:55Of course.

00:56:56You parked nearby?

00:56:57Oh, no.

00:56:58I was just going to...

00:57:00No, it's good.

00:57:00I'm parked right down this way.

00:57:02Alice!

00:57:06Oh, fuck.

00:57:07Max, are you okay?

00:57:19Oh, my God.

00:57:20I'm going to call.

00:57:21Don't worry.

00:57:21Oh, my phone's broken.

00:57:22Okay, stay with me.

00:57:23Don't worry.

00:57:24Okay, stay with me.

00:57:25Stay with me.

00:57:27Max.

00:57:34Alice?

00:57:36Max.

00:57:36You're awake.

00:57:39How do you feel?

00:57:40Oh, Rocky.

00:57:43What happened?

00:57:45You were in an accident.

00:57:47You need to thank your wife, who carries you two blocks to get help.

00:57:53You did that for me?

00:57:55You saved me, too.

00:57:57It's just a mild concussion from the crash.

00:58:00You may experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and some memory loss, but this is

00:58:06all normal.

00:58:08You hear that, Alice?

00:58:10I got a concussion.

00:58:12I might be a little bit slow and stupid for the rest of my life.

00:58:15Is that so?

00:58:16Is that so?

00:58:18Yeah.

00:58:18I might need you to take care of me.

00:58:22Well, if that's the case, then I will.

00:58:28Don't you worry.

00:58:30This accident will not influence your...

00:58:33BANG!

00:58:34...sex life.

00:58:35Or make you an idiot.

00:58:36Actually, he's, um, not my husband.

00:58:40Oh, pardon me.

00:58:46Sir.

00:58:47I've looked into the car accident.

00:58:49We've managed to identify the car, but the police haven't found the driver yet.

00:58:52Keep on it, Henry.

00:58:53I'm going to need you to look in to find out who did this.

00:58:55Of course, sir.

00:58:59Ah...

00:59:06Hello?

00:59:07Max, if you introduce me as the CEO's wife and board member of the upcoming business

00:59:11dinner, plus give me $20 million, I promise to divorce you.

00:59:15Fine.

00:59:16But this is going to be the last favor.

00:59:25Pleasure meeting you.

00:59:26This is my wife, Allie.

00:59:28She's the CEO of Legend Group, and she's the woman, the chairwoman, of the whole board.

00:59:32Pleasure to meet you.

00:59:33Allie, could you tell us about your company's current investment strategy?

00:59:42Well, it's...

00:59:45Or you could tell us anything at all about the company.

00:59:50Yeah.

00:59:52If you don't have anything to say about that, maybe you have something to say about this.

00:59:58It wasn't just me.

00:59:59It was Allie who asked me to hit Allison next.

01:00:04No?

01:00:05I had nothing to do with that.

01:00:08That's defamation.

01:00:09I...

01:00:09Why are you looking at me?

01:00:11It wasn't me.

01:00:12What...

01:00:12Henry!

01:00:13I swear!

01:00:14I...

01:00:14That was...

01:00:15You guys!

01:00:16I'm being saved!

01:00:17Let me go!

01:00:18Let me go!

01:00:20No!

01:00:24Alice.

01:00:25I have something for you.

01:00:27The police recovered it from Allie.

01:00:29Here you go.

01:00:30My work phone.

01:00:31I've been looking everywhere for this.

01:00:34What are all these missed calls?

01:00:36Was Allie using my phone to call Max?

01:00:43Hello?

01:00:45Hold on.

01:00:46Wait.

01:00:48It's you!

01:00:49It's you!

01:00:52Why are you calling from her phone?

01:00:55I have something to tell you.

01:00:56Meet me at Moonfall Lodge Restaurant.

01:00:58I'm sorry.

01:01:00Hey.

01:01:08Boss.

01:01:09I found out the truth about your wife.

01:01:12Henry.

01:01:13Please.

01:01:13Not now.

01:01:14I'm supposed to be meeting Alice here.

01:01:15Actually, sir.

01:01:16You're going to want to look at this.

01:01:18And you should cherish her.

01:01:22Do not mention this woman to me again.

01:01:25The woman I care about is Alice.

01:01:28You should know that by now.

01:01:29I can't believe I'm still tied to this woman.

01:01:32Come here.

01:01:41Alice?

01:01:45Not Allie?

01:01:48Alice Smith is this woman I married.

01:01:50Not Allie?

01:01:51Alice.

01:01:54Alice is my wife.

01:01:57Alice Smith.

01:01:58Mm-hmm.

01:02:00The woman I married, the name is Taylor.

01:02:03It should be Allie Taylor.

01:02:05She used her mother's last name after she lost her father.

01:02:08And your wife's first name isn't Allie.

01:02:10It's Alice.

01:02:12And also, she was in your class in college, but you never paid attention to her.

01:02:15You've known her for a long time.

01:02:17Have I lost?

01:02:33Have I lost you?

01:02:36It's really you.

01:02:41It's really you.

01:02:42Have I lost you?

01:02:48Have I lost?

01:02:52Have I lost you?

01:02:54Have I lost?

01:03:10Have I lost you?
