00:00:00You've got this, Bella. Do it for Ethan.
00:00:13Save your effort, Sergeant.
00:00:15I know you're desperate to pay for your brother's medical bills, but you're not gonna make it.
00:00:19You wanna know why?
00:00:20Because you know nothing about men.
00:00:22That'd be sexy.
00:00:23We'll see about that.
00:00:25Watch out, sweetheart. The spotlight could blind you.
00:00:30Let's give them a show to remember.
00:00:39Come on, come here, come a little closer.
00:00:41Don't be afraid, no, I don't wanna hurt you.
00:00:43A little more, come near, let me just show you.
00:00:45Don't know, can't talk, let me just show you.
00:00:47Don't be obsessive, it could be intensive.
00:00:49It could be explosive, it could be offensive.
00:00:51Don't be defensive, don't be aggressive.
00:00:53Come over here, shake my ass for me.
00:00:55Any little fee in your life.
00:00:58Oh yeah, babe, move those legs.
00:01:00I want you to see in your eyes.
00:01:02You need to be free.
00:01:03Shit.
00:01:10Ouch.
00:01:11That's embarrassing.
00:01:13Get your sorry ass off the stage!
00:01:15You're ruining it for the rest of us!
00:01:17Dammit, I blew it.
00:01:19I need to hold myself together.
00:01:21I can't cry in front of them.
00:01:23Just...
00:01:24Stand up.
00:01:25Don't let them see you this way.
00:01:27Who is this man?
00:01:28And why is he looking at me like...
00:01:29He knows me.
00:01:30Get up.
00:01:31I don't have all night.
00:01:32I don't have all night.
00:01:34Have we met before?
00:01:35I don't think so.
00:01:36I don't think so.
00:01:37I'm so sorry, Mr. Delaney.
00:01:39Please, have a seat and have some fun with us.
00:01:40I mean, don't mind this stupid amateur.
00:01:41I don't think so.
00:01:42I'm so sorry, Mr. Delaney.
00:01:43Please, have a seat and have some fun with us.
00:01:44And don't mind this stupid amateur.
00:01:45I can't believe I screwed this up.
00:01:46The medical pills are due soon.
00:01:49iono.
00:01:50Wow!
00:01:51No.
00:01:52Please, don't get away!
00:01:53No.
00:01:54I've got to see you.
00:01:55No.
00:01:56No.
00:01:57No.
00:01:58No.
00:01:59No.
00:02:00No.
00:02:01No.
00:02:02No.
00:02:03No.
00:02:04No.
00:02:05No.
00:02:06No.
00:02:07No.
00:02:08You're not dead.
00:02:09Oh, no.
00:02:10Okay.
00:02:11No.
00:02:12No.
00:02:13No.
00:02:14No.
00:02:15Oh god, Ethan!
00:02:17Stop!
00:02:19This is a place for fun, not for your pathetic mess.
00:02:23Can you even hear me?
00:02:27Now you're ruining my fun.
00:02:29No, sir. I wouldn't dare.
00:02:31It's just, you're the biggest name in the club, in this whole city.
00:02:35I was only trying to teach her a lesson for spoiling life.
00:02:39You just completely follow yourself.
00:02:41Hand of me!
00:02:42I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:02:44No one cares about your shitty life.
00:02:46Get the hell out of here.
00:02:48Give me a private room.
00:02:50Of course. I'll make sure we have a great time, sir.
00:02:53Not with you.
00:02:55You.
00:02:57You come with me.
00:03:05Sit down.
00:03:14Tell me why.
00:03:16What do you mean?
00:03:18Why are you stripping?
00:03:20You're not like the other girls.
00:03:23It's all for my little brother.
00:03:25He's really sick.
00:03:28He has a rare brain disease.
00:03:31I dropped out of college to pay for his medical bills.
00:03:35But they just keep piling up.
00:03:47This competition was my last chance to fix everything.
00:03:51And I messed it up.
00:03:52Not yet.
00:03:53I'll give you another shot.
00:03:54But you better make it count.
00:03:55I will.
00:03:56I'll give you another shot.
00:03:57I'll give you another shot.
00:03:58But you better make it count.
00:03:59I will.
00:04:00I will.
00:04:27Keep your eyes on me.
00:04:30Keep your eyes off.
00:04:31Get your eyes off.
00:04:35I have a plan baby.
00:04:40If you forget me.
00:04:41I need to be prepared.
00:04:42You better see what looks like.
00:04:44You better think.
00:04:47I'll give you another shot.
00:04:49Let me know.
00:04:51How many years ago it was.
00:04:53In fact, after 20 years ago.
00:04:54I mentioned that the size of London or Buenos Aires
00:04:55had a reason ago.
00:04:57I had everything that happened.
00:04:59That's enough.
00:05:10Did he even like it?
00:05:12I can't get a read on him.
00:05:14He's just so serious and calm.
00:05:17Different from other people I've met.
00:05:22Let me get to the point.
00:05:24You need help, and I can provide it.
00:05:29You want to help me?
00:05:31Yes, but you might find my arrangement a bit unusual.
00:05:36Ever thought of having a sugar daddy?
00:05:40A sugar daddy?
00:05:44What do you mean?
00:05:47Look, I think you've got the wrong idea of me, Mr. Delaney.
00:05:51I don't want to see you anywhere near this club again.
00:05:54Let me be blunt with you.
00:05:55Well, I'll cover all your brother's medical bills, and all the rest.
00:05:59But in return, I want you.
00:06:02But we barely know each other.
00:06:05And aren't you the biggest client here?
00:06:09I'm the owner of the hotel.
00:06:12I'm mostly here for the pool.
00:06:13You own the hotel?
00:06:16The entire thing?
00:06:17Yes, the entire thing.
00:06:19And other properties in the cities you've only dreamed of.
00:06:28If you agree to this arrangement, you'll have everything you need.
00:06:31You'll make all your problems disappear.
00:06:34I don't know, sir.
00:06:36This is all just so sudden.
00:06:39Think it over.
00:06:39Whenever you're ready, give me a call.
00:06:44Taking my time in the morning
00:06:50Under the sheets when it's pouring
00:06:54Crawling the same trees
00:06:57Then on with the same dreams
00:07:00All I'm going to do
00:07:02Oops, my bad.
00:07:10What did Mr. Delaney want with you?
00:07:12It's none of your business.
00:07:15Trying to worm your way into Mr. Delaney's bath, huh?
00:07:18Dream on, virgin.
00:07:20You know nothing about my life.
00:07:23Do you even know what they say about Mr. Delaney?
00:07:27If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time
00:07:30fantasizing about a happily ever after with a man like him.
00:07:35There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:07:38And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:07:40I'm not trying to.
00:07:42Good.
00:07:43If you did, you'd only end up hurting yourself.
00:07:57Why don't you tell me about this new job?
00:08:00You look exhausted.
00:08:01It's just a pizza parlor, Ethan.
00:08:05They stay open late.
00:08:08How are you feeling today?
00:08:11I hate this.
00:08:14I already cost you college, and now there's something.
00:08:17If it's my time to go,
00:08:20maybe we should just accept it.
00:08:23Hey, don't say that.
00:08:25You're all I have left.
00:08:28I will do whatever it takes to make sure you get better.
00:08:31For both of us.
00:08:33Sorry to interrupt.
00:08:35Uh, Bella,
00:08:36can we talk for a moment?
00:08:37What is it, doctor?
00:08:50Uh, it's Sergeant.
00:08:52Ethan needs intensive care as soon as possible.
00:08:55But if you can't find the funds by tomorrow,
00:08:57the hospital's going to have to let him go.
00:08:59Tomorrow?
00:09:00I'm trying my best to pay the bills.
00:09:05I'm really sorry.
00:09:08Is there no one that you can ask to borrow from?
00:09:12Like your family?
00:09:14No.
00:09:15When my mom passed,
00:09:17my stepfather moved on.
00:09:19And he's taken everything.
00:09:21Money, the house.
00:09:23I'm sorry.
00:09:24I could lend you.
00:09:25No.
00:09:25Thank you, Dr. Carlson.
00:09:27But you've already done enough.
00:09:30Don't worry.
00:09:35I'll figure something out.
00:09:46Hi.
00:09:47Um, my name is Isabella Rivera
00:09:50and I'm here to see Mr. Marcus Delaney.
00:09:53Do you have an appointment?
00:09:55Um, no.
00:09:57But he's waiting for me.
00:09:59He told me to come last night.
00:10:01No way.
00:10:02If I let any gold digger go see Mr. Delaney,
00:10:04I would lose my job.
00:10:06Gold digger.
00:10:07No, I'm not a gold digger.
00:10:10Hey!
00:10:11Let go of me!
00:10:13Let go!
00:10:14You need to leave.
00:10:16I'm fine.
00:10:28I'll wait outside.
00:10:29It's not like this day could get any worse.
00:10:39Mom,
00:10:40What am I going to do?
00:10:41What am I going to do?
00:10:42Oh, my God.
00:11:12Mr. Delaney, I thought you had left.
00:11:26You turned me down just a few hours ago, and now you're already back?
00:11:32Yeah, I...
00:11:34My kindness and my time comes at the cost.
00:11:36You're making me...
00:11:47What? Un-ease or wet?
00:11:52Well...
00:11:54Why do you need to see me so urgently?
00:11:58Mr. Delaney, about your offer to help me in exchange for my company, is it still on the table?
00:12:07Yes, it is.
00:12:08What made you come back?
00:12:10Mr. Delaney, my brother's...
00:12:13His medical bills are due today.
00:12:16I see.
00:12:17Money isn't an issue, but I need you to understand what you're stepping into.
00:12:21Becoming my sugar babe.
00:12:23I will own your time and attention.
00:12:26Everything will be mine.
00:12:29I understand.
00:12:30I've made my decision, and I won't change it.
00:12:47Here's something to start with.
00:12:49That should be enough to cover the bills for now.
00:12:52There's more if you perform well.
00:12:54Mr. Delaney, this is more than I need.
00:12:58I want you to stop working at the club.
00:13:00From now on, you only work for me.
00:13:03Of course, sir.
00:13:06I don't know how to thank you.
00:13:08Or even begin to repay you.
00:13:11Well, we'll take this one step at a time.
00:13:13But I do have certain requirements.
00:13:16What requirements?
00:13:19Well, this is strictly going to be business.
00:13:24There will be a contract for you to sign.
00:13:27But for starters, I need to see your submission.
00:13:31What do you mean by submission?
00:13:34Is this an assignment?
00:13:36Yes.
00:13:38Now, bend over the desk.
00:13:41What?
00:13:42You want me to bend over?
00:13:44You heard me.
00:13:45People here respect my authority.
00:13:46And it's important that you do understand that as well.
00:13:50So he's the dominant type.
00:13:53Damn.
00:13:54That's kind of hot.
00:13:56But I can't let him think I'll just do anything he says.
00:14:00Come here.
00:14:12You like it like this?
00:14:16Let's make something clear.
00:14:17I decide if I want to do this.
00:14:31That's enough.
00:14:32You passed the test.
00:14:33So, what am I supposed to be doing?
00:14:43Do I sleep with you?
00:14:45It's not bad.
00:14:48Relax.
00:14:50For now, we'll start with having dinner.
00:14:55But you need to change.
00:14:57Try this one on.
00:15:15Okay.
00:15:16Okay.
00:15:17Mr. Delaney?
00:15:28Mr. Delaney?
00:15:35How do I look?
00:15:36Everyone, we'll be looking at you.
00:15:40Wow.
00:16:00This place is...
00:16:02It's mine.
00:16:03It's one of many.
00:16:05I like the dinners here.
00:16:06This is yours, too?
00:16:09Jesus, do you own the entire city?
00:16:12There are stories about him you wouldn't even believe.
00:16:15And no woman's ever managed to get close to him.
00:16:18Have you ever been married?
00:16:19I find the whole concept of marriage and romance to be, uh...
00:16:26It complicates things.
00:16:28Being tied up to somebody can feel like a prison.
00:16:32But enough about me.
00:16:35Tell me more about yourself.
00:16:37You told me about your brother.
00:16:38What about the rest of your family?
00:16:40My dad died when I was young.
00:16:43And my mom...
00:16:45She passed away in a car accident a couple months ago.
00:16:49Then there's my stepdad, but he's a total asshole.
00:16:53You got a boyfriend?
00:16:56I don't have one.
00:16:58I've been too focused on other things.
00:17:01Like...
00:17:02Surviving.
00:17:03Certain pleasures in life can be pretty life-fulfilling.
00:17:09I feel like sex.
00:17:11I'm...
00:17:12I'm still a virgin.
00:17:15A virgin?
00:17:16Well, that's weird nowadays.
00:17:20What are you trying to say?
00:17:21Nothing.
00:17:24I'm willing to give you that if you want it.
00:17:27It's the only thing I have to pay you back with.
00:17:30How old are you?
00:17:3119?
00:17:3120?
00:17:32You sound like you're from the last century.
00:17:34Stop making fun of me.
00:17:38No, I'm not.
00:17:39You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:17:43Really?
00:17:44Is that why you picked me?
00:17:46Harshly.
00:17:47I like your honesty.
00:17:48It's refreshing.
00:17:49In a world where everybody likes to hide behind...
00:17:52masks, it's...
00:17:54You should smile more.
00:17:56It makes you more attractive.
00:17:58That's something I expected to hear.
00:18:02Look, you don't need to worry about me.
00:18:04Our relationship will move at the pace that works for the both of us.
00:18:09Understood.
00:18:13I'm worried about my brother.
00:18:16Then let's go pay him a visit.
00:18:19You paid off the bills?
00:18:21How?
00:18:22Where'd you get the kind of money?
00:18:23You don't have to worry about that.
00:18:25Just focus on getting better, and I'll handle everything else, okay?
00:18:30Yeah, Bella's right.
00:18:32Just focus on that.
00:18:33If you don't, you'll break her heart.
00:18:43All sorted?
00:18:45Yeah.
00:18:46They'll start Ethan's treatments as soon as possible.
00:18:52Where are we?
00:18:55It's somewhere special to me.
00:18:57I always wanted to take someone with me, but I've got the chance.
00:19:01I didn't know you had such a romantic side, Mr. Delaney.
00:19:05Why don't you call me Marcus?
00:19:09I can't thank you enough for what you've done.
00:19:13You've saved my brother's life.
00:19:15I don't know how I could ever repay you.
00:19:17You know, you keep saying that.
00:19:19Do you want to repay me that badly, or such as that?
00:19:22Deep words.
00:19:32Let me show you, Daddy.
00:19:35I don't know what got into me.
00:19:40Why am I imagining my first night with him?
00:19:42You know, that was unexpected.
00:19:58You had some practicing today.
00:20:00Was it really that bad?
00:20:04No, it was very, very you.
00:20:10I gotta ask you something.
00:20:12What's that?
00:20:14What do you think about our age difference of 16 years?
00:20:17It's not a whole.
00:20:20Older men are more charismatic.
00:20:25Where do you live?
00:20:28At a friend's place.
00:20:29My stepdad kicked me out of the house.
00:20:33From now on, you'll be living with me.
00:20:38Marcus?
00:20:39Are you home?
00:20:59可惡?
00:20:59I know.
00:21:00That's it.
00:21:01In the end of the game, I'm so tired of having a poem.
00:21:03I'm so tired of praying.
00:21:04I'm so tired and I'll do it.
00:21:05I'm so tired of writing about another poem.
00:21:05I have to remember remembering that.
00:21:06I want to do some much of my life.
00:21:07I wanted to go.
00:21:08We know that I love you.
00:21:08People have a baby.
00:21:09I thought I could do some good things.
00:21:09Go on, I know that I could do it.
00:21:10I also want to vergate my baby when he used.
00:21:11Go on, then I want to try some good things.
00:21:12We take a gorgeous day, what can'tira the next year.
00:21:14I'm on.
00:21:17Pooch.
00:21:17Marcus Delaney, accused of murder?
00:21:36What are you doing?
00:21:37The door was open.
00:21:39Mr. Delaney, I'm sorry.
00:21:41I saw your name.
00:21:42My past does not be a concern.
00:21:44Just taking it out of my office.
00:21:45Did you really...
00:21:48Hey, you have an agreement on me.
00:21:51Nothing else.
00:21:53So stop asking about it.
00:21:55Right.
00:22:03Bella, you're coming with me to Gala tonight.
00:22:08You should go get ready.
00:22:15What's wrong?
00:22:25These people.
00:22:26This place.
00:22:27It's just...
00:22:28It's a whole different world.
00:22:30You should be yourself.
00:22:31Everything will be fine.
00:22:37Good evening.
00:22:39Good evening.
00:22:41Good evening.
00:22:41It's nice to be here.
00:22:42See, you're doing great.
00:22:45All because of you.
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:49Sharp as ever, sweetheart.
00:22:52Sweetheart.
00:22:53I see you never change, huh?
00:22:55Grace?
00:22:56I'm just having fun.
00:23:00Mrs. Isabella.
00:23:02She is my date.
00:23:04Hi.
00:23:05I'm Grace.
00:23:06Marcus's ex.
00:23:07You must be the stripper I've been hearing about.
00:23:13The stripper?
00:23:15I'm surprised they even let you in here.
00:23:18It's a very distinguished event.
00:23:21Not really a place for the dancers.
00:23:24Am I right?
00:23:28We don't have a ball here, sweetheart.
00:23:30It's time to go back to where you belong.
00:23:34Security!
00:23:38Hey!
00:23:39Boop!
00:23:39Hey!
00:23:40Let go of her.
00:23:43She's with me.
00:23:45And if anyone of you has a problem with that,
00:23:48you have to go through me.
00:23:50Your standards have really gone down, Marcus.
00:23:54I value Bella for who she is.
00:23:55I will pass this in the finest.
00:23:57Okay.
00:23:58But...
00:23:59Isn't that a little insulting to the rest of us?
00:24:04Think of your status, Marcus.
00:24:07This is beneath you.
00:24:12I've been called many things before.
00:24:14An arrogant, a liar, and even a murderer!
00:24:18And I've never given any of her seconds off.
00:24:20I have found myself
00:24:23attractive.
00:24:26Hopelessly attractive
00:24:27to someone who's very close to me.
00:24:30Very much so.
00:24:41Looks like you don't know him as well as you think you do, of course.
00:24:50Aren't you treating me a little too nicely, Marcus?
00:25:00What do you mean?
00:25:01This thing between us.
00:25:03Whatever it is, it won't last.
00:25:06I know it.
00:25:07You're a man with more experience than most,
00:25:10and I'm...
00:25:11To you,
00:25:13this is all just a game.
00:25:15Some harmless fun, but to me...
00:25:18I understand.
00:25:22But I've never expected anything from you.
00:25:24I told you that.
00:25:25I know you want me, Marcus.
00:25:28I can see it in the way you look at me.
00:25:30I'm not blind.
00:25:32I brought you here for a reason.
00:25:34I wanted to make things clear between the two of us.
00:25:38Yes,
00:25:39I would be lying if I would say that I don't crave you.
00:25:41But that's not all.
00:25:44I don't want you to what you think.
00:25:48Bella, I want you to be mine.
00:25:50I don't know what to say.
00:25:52I want your mind, body, and soul.
00:26:10Do you really want me, Marcus?
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:14Let's go.
00:26:15Where do we go?
00:26:16Home.
00:26:18I have a little surprise for you.
00:26:19Are you trying to be a bad girl tonight?
00:26:27Only for you.
00:26:29Do you know there's a price for being a bad girl, don't you?
00:26:34Oh, I do.
00:26:36But wouldn't it be more fun?
00:26:44You always obey me, won't you?
00:26:47Yes, sir.
00:26:48I'm yours.
00:26:59Mind, body, and soul.
00:27:02No, Bella, that's not what I meant.
00:27:05You really don't get it, do you?
00:27:07You're just a blank page after all.
00:27:09No, Bella, wait.
00:27:15I'm sorry.
00:27:17Please sit down.
00:27:23How can you say that?
00:27:25You really don't know me.
00:27:27I'm not like the others.
00:27:29I have my own dreams, my own ambitions.
00:27:32Speak up, then.
00:27:33I want to know more about you.
00:27:35My mom was an incredible interior designer.
00:27:39She had this way of turning houses into homes.
00:27:43Places full of warmth and love.
00:27:47Is that what you want to do?
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:52Before my brother got sick, I was studying at Parsons.
00:27:54I wanted to be just like her, because I grew up never knowing what it felt like to have a real home.
00:28:05And now I've even lost the home she left behind.
00:28:10It's so unfair.
00:28:12I already lost my mother and my career.
00:28:14I can't lose my brother, too.
00:28:17Come here.
00:28:18I won't let that happen, I promise.
00:28:27Hey.
00:28:28Have you had dinner yet?
00:28:30I was thinking I could...
00:28:33Marcus!
00:28:37Marcus, can you hear me?
00:28:39The pills.
00:28:41Right there in the box.
00:29:00Don't worry about it.
00:29:01It's nothing serious.
00:29:03Marcus, how long has this been going on?
00:29:05Have you been to the hospital?
00:29:07I don't have time for hospitals.
00:29:10Don't worry about it.
00:29:14Marcus, you didn't answer my question.
00:29:16How long have you been taking these painkillers?
00:29:19Stop interrogating me.
00:29:21I don't pay you for this.
00:29:22Marcus, don't shut me out.
00:29:25I might understand better than you think.
00:29:28How could you?
00:29:30Because I know how you feel.
00:29:33When my mother passed, I couldn't sleep.
00:29:37I had to rely heavily on sleeping pills.
00:29:40At first, they helped.
00:29:43But then I got addicted.
00:29:44I started having trouble breathing and feeling like I was drowning, even when I wasn't.
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:52I had a family once.
00:29:55A wife and a beautiful daughter.
00:29:59You had a family?
00:30:02But I lost them.
00:30:03What happened?
00:30:05You can tell me, Marcus.
00:30:08Well, let's just say it changed everything.
00:30:11I started working hard stop.
00:30:14Yeah.
00:30:16You know, no matter how much I worked, how much I earned, I just felt more alone.
00:30:23Like I could never have a family again.
00:30:25But you're not alone, Marcus.
00:30:28You have me.
00:30:29I know what we have is just an arrangement, but I can still be your family.
00:30:38I'm sorry if I said too much.
00:30:41Yeah, you did.
00:30:44And there's consequences for that.
00:30:45I need you to make me yours.
00:31:12Is that what you really want, Bill?
00:31:18I trust you, Marcus.
00:31:21I'm ready.
00:31:23I'm ready.
00:31:23Are you nervous?
00:31:43No.
00:31:44Are you?
00:31:45I won't make you regret ever asking me that.
00:31:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:53You're mine.
00:32:17I'm yours.
00:32:21Oh my god
00:32:51Do you like a gift?
00:32:54Marcus, this is too much. I can't accept it.
00:32:59It isn't spoiling me on the job.
00:33:02Thank you, but-
00:33:04Take it for a spin. Have fun with it.
00:33:07Okay. I'm swinging by my old house to grab Ethan some headphones. I'll see you tonight.
00:33:21There it is.
00:33:27What are you doing here, Sam?
00:33:30Shouldn't you show a little respect to your dad, kid?
00:33:33You're not my dad, and this is not your house. You have no right to be here.
00:33:43Then how come I have these, huh?
00:33:45Because you stole them from my mom. This house belongs to Ethan and I.
00:33:51Don't make me laugh. Your mother's probably rolling around in her grave knowing her daughter is a stripper, a tramp, and a thief.
00:33:58What are you talking about?
00:34:00The Rolex she gave me. It's gone missing. I think you took it.
00:34:07That's ridiculous. I haven't even been home lately. Why don't you ask your new girlfriend, not me?
00:34:14Look, I know you don't like her. But your mother's been gone for months. A man's gotta move on. I have needs.
00:34:21Move on? You moved on long before mom died. She gave you everything and you were never there for her when she needed you to be.
00:34:30The ungrateful asshole!
00:34:33How dare you, you fucking bitch!
00:34:36Hey!
00:34:38Let her go.
00:34:43Who are you?
00:34:44Marcus Delany.
00:34:45That's ridiculous. Why would the richest man in town be standing up for this slut?
00:34:50Hey, one more word about her and I'll make sure I'll be the last.
00:34:55You're dead?
00:34:57Yes, sir. No, sir.
00:34:58Get out. Get out of here!
00:35:03Hey.
00:35:05Hey. You okay?
00:35:08I'm fine.
00:35:10Thank you for stepping in.
00:35:13How did you find me?
00:35:17You told me you were coming here.
00:35:19But I didn't tell you where it was.
00:35:22Did you?
00:35:24Are you following me?
00:35:29I just know you.
00:35:31You're my baby and I want to make sure that you're safe.
00:35:36What's wrong?
00:35:37No one's cared about me like this.
00:35:43Not since Mom.
00:35:46Sam didn't deserve her.
00:35:48When he first came into our lives, he was perfect.
00:35:52He was kind, supportive.
00:35:54Mom thought she was finally going to have the family she always dreamed of.
00:35:59But then after they got married, everything changed.
00:36:03I saw you slapped him.
00:36:08I don't usually...
00:36:10I don't know what got into me.
00:36:11I just, I got so angry.
00:36:13No, no, no.
00:36:15You did what needed to be done.
00:36:17It's good.
00:36:19But honestly, it was a...
00:36:21It was a turnout to me.
00:36:24Are you teasing me?
00:36:26Don't be silly.
00:36:28How about we get those headphones to Ethan now?
00:36:29You want to come to the hospital with me?
00:36:37Bella, what's going on?
00:36:39This is Mr. Delaney, Ethan.
00:36:41He's my...
00:36:43I'm her new boss.
00:36:44Nice to meet you, Ethan.
00:36:47New boss?
00:36:49From the pizza place.
00:36:51Well, I guess I like to make things cheesy.
00:36:54That was terrible.
00:36:56Well, here, just something a little to help your recovery.
00:37:01I hope they'll do some good.
00:37:09Thank you, Mr. Delaney.
00:37:12Call me Marcus.
00:37:14Oh, Marcus, you must be some special bonus.
00:37:17Bella's never brought anyone to see me before.
00:37:19Ethan!
00:37:21Marcus is just really supportive.
00:37:24That's all.
00:37:26Well, your sister told me a lot about you.
00:37:28Keep chasing that dream of becoming a musician.
00:37:30I will once I get out of here.
00:37:32Well, I got some work to manage.
00:37:35I'll leave you two to catch up.
00:37:37If you need a ride home, call Jason.
00:37:41Sounds like a good guy.
00:37:42I hope we get plenty of rest. We're flying to Dubai this afternoon.
00:37:52Dubai?
00:37:54Today?
00:37:56I have a meeting with a new business partner tomorrow who wants you to come with me.
00:37:59And don't forget to pack the gallons that I got you.
00:38:03There will be some important events to attend.
00:38:05But my passport has expired.
00:38:08Not anymore. I took care of it.
00:38:09You did?
00:38:11Yeah, there's nothing I can do.
00:38:14Prepare the luggage.
00:38:22You don't own this place too, do you?
00:38:25Mr. Delaney, ma'am?
00:38:30I usually stay at my own hotels when I travel.
00:38:36You should start getting used to that.
00:38:40Listen, I gotta go take care of something quick. I'll be right back.
00:38:49Well, well. If it isn't Marcus's newest little playthings.
00:38:54What are you doing here?
00:38:56Didn't Marcus tell you?
00:38:58He came all the way here for me.
00:39:00For you?
00:39:02He wanted to come alone, but I insisted he bring you along.
00:39:07But we'll always have our own little secrets that he'll never tell you about, though.
00:39:12What are you talking about?
00:39:14I don't believe you.
00:39:16Because I know what he needs.
00:39:19He may be all over you for now, but a guy like that will never end up with a girl like you.
00:39:25Isn't that right?
00:39:28Let's keep this professional.
00:39:30We're business partner only. Nothing else.
00:39:32She must be lying, trying to get under my skin.
00:39:36I won't let this happen.
00:39:37Whatever you say.
00:39:39But it would be good if Bella could give us a moment alone.
00:39:41That business proposal I mentioned is highly confidential.
00:39:43You don't mind, Finn?
00:39:45Fine.
00:39:47I'll go.
00:39:49You don't mind, Finn?
00:39:51Fine.
00:39:53I'll go.
00:39:55You don't mind, Finn?
00:39:57Fine.
00:39:59I'll go.
00:40:07We'll pick this up later.
00:40:09Don't keep me waiting.
00:40:11I won't.
00:40:20Drink, please.
00:40:24Hey.
00:40:26What's going on?
00:40:28How was your meeting with your partner?
00:40:31What, you jealous?
00:40:33Jealous?
00:40:35Why would I be jealous?
00:40:36It's just business, right?
00:40:38Just like us.
00:40:40What we have is just a contract, an agreement.
00:40:43Mr. Flynn?
00:40:46And Bella, look at me.
00:40:48I need you to understand one thing.
00:40:50You mean to me a lot more than she ever did.
00:40:53She's my past.
00:40:55You're my present.
00:40:57But your past.
00:40:59But why is your past so complicated?
00:41:01It's Dr. Carlson.
00:41:03Hey.
00:41:05Doctor, is everything okay?
00:41:07What?
00:41:09Ethan's in the ICU.
00:41:11Ethan, please.
00:41:12Come back to me.
00:41:14How's Ethan doing?
00:41:16I'm not sure.
00:41:18But I'm not sure.
00:41:20I'm not sure.
00:41:22What's Ethan doing?
00:41:24What?
00:41:26Ethan's in the ICU.
00:41:28What?
00:41:30Ethan's in the ICU.
00:41:32Ethan, please.
00:41:34Come back to me.
00:41:36How's Ethan doing?
00:41:37How's Ethan doing?
00:41:40I'm not sure.
00:41:42But it's not looking good.
00:41:44Everything will be alright.
00:41:46I'm still tied up in Dubai, but I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:41:50Okay.
00:41:54Doctor, what's going on with Ethan?
00:41:56His cranial pressure has spiked.
00:41:58Now we're doing everything we can to stabilize him, but it's critical right now.
00:42:02Can I see him?
00:42:03Not yet.
00:42:04We can't allow visitors in right now, not with the condition he said.
00:42:07Please.
00:42:08Doctor, there must be something we can do.
00:42:11We're considering a specialized intubation procedure.
00:42:14It's meant to relieve the pressure by draining the excess cerebral spinal fluid.
00:42:18But there are risks.
00:42:22What kinds of risks?
00:42:24Infection, bleeding, even further brain damage.
00:42:27If it works, it could significantly improve his condition.
00:42:40The success rate is promising, but it's not guaranteed.
00:42:44And the cost?
00:42:47It's expensive.
00:42:50I don't know if Ethan's insurance will cover it.
00:42:52I need some air.
00:42:56Um, I know a place. Follow me.
00:42:59I see why you come here when you're stressed.
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:02Sometimes you need a break from all the chaos happening downstairs.
00:43:05Yeah, I can imagine.
00:43:06It must take a toll on you after a while.
00:43:07Yeah. I mean, it does, but...
00:43:09I don't regret a second of it.
00:43:11Why's that?
00:43:12Well, I mean, people think that we're working so hard just to try to prevent the inevitable.
00:43:13But, I mean, when the time comes, my job has one thing different.
00:43:15I mean, I don't know why you come here when you're stressed.
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17I don't know why you come here when you're stressed.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:19Sometimes you need a break from all the chaos happening downstairs.
00:43:20Yeah, I can imagine.
00:43:22It must take a toll on you after a while.
00:43:24Yeah.
00:43:25I mean, it does, but...
00:43:27I don't regret a second of it.
00:43:29Why's that?
00:43:31Oh, I mean...
00:43:33People think that we're working so hard just to try to prevent the inevitable.
00:43:37But, I mean, when the time comes, my job has one thing different than any other job.
00:43:44What is that?
00:43:46Hope.
00:43:48We bring hope.
00:43:50People...
00:43:52People need that, Bella.
00:43:55They want to believe that it's not the end and that they're going to be saved.
00:44:00I mean, sometimes we can do that.
00:44:03That must be a heavy weight to carry.
00:44:07I mean, it's not always easy.
00:44:10But when I can, like, help my patients see the joy and relief on their face, I mean...
00:44:17That makes it worth it.
00:44:19It must be beautiful.
00:44:21I understand what you're going through.
00:44:24No, like, trust me, I've been there.
00:44:27But I know Ethan is going to be fine.
00:44:31Well...
00:44:33Let's hope you're right.
00:44:34Uh...
00:44:36I was wanting to ask you something.
00:44:38Who's that older gentleman that you've been hanging out with?
00:44:41What's your relationship with him?
00:44:43He's actually the one that's been helping me with the costs.
00:44:45Oh...
00:44:46Yeah.
00:44:47Ethan mentioned him.
00:44:49Say he's a great guy.
00:44:51Yeah.
00:44:52Um...
00:44:53Speaking of Ethan...
00:44:54What do you think I should do about him?
00:44:55Um...
00:44:56Um...
00:44:58I mean...
00:44:59He has a rare condition.
00:45:02The operation I mentioned is risky, but...
00:45:04I mean, I think it's our best choice.
00:45:06I think the best way of moving forward is to take a calculated risk.
00:45:11I see.
00:45:12I guess I have no other choice, then.
00:45:13I have to figure out a way to pay for everything.
00:45:14I can help you if you ever need anything.
00:45:15...
00:45:16I...
00:45:17I'll help you if you ever need anything.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:20I...
00:45:21Um...
00:45:22um...
00:45:23Um...
00:45:24Um...
00:45:25Uh...
00:45:26Uh...
00:45:27I...
00:45:28Um...
00:45:29Um...
00:45:31Uh...
00:45:32Um...
00:45:33Um...
00:45:34Uh...
00:45:35Um...
00:45:36Uh...
00:45:37Uh...
00:45:38Uh...
00:45:39Um...
00:45:40Uh...
00:45:41Uh...
00:45:42Uh...
00:45:43Um...
00:45:44Uh, bring the luggage to the bedroom.
00:45:47You got it, boss.
00:45:52How's it then?
00:45:54Have you made your decision about the operation yet?
00:45:57Yes. We're moving forward with the surgery.
00:46:00Good. I'm sure he'll be alright, Bella.
00:46:04Thanks.
00:46:06There's... also something...
00:46:09I know what's on your mind.
00:46:12Don't worry about the money. Everything will be taken care of.
00:46:16But it's really expensive.
00:46:19I'll do anything for Ethan as long as it makes you happy.
00:46:22Besides, it's nothing compared to what you have done for me.
00:46:25My headaches after all of these years are finally getting better.
00:46:28And it's all because of you.
00:46:31I'm really glad to hear that.
00:46:33I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me.
00:46:37And for Ethan.
00:46:39Let's get out of here. We need to relax a little bit.
00:46:42Where are we going?
00:46:44Somewhere in front.
00:46:55Mr. Delaney.
00:46:58Hi.
00:46:59There we go.
00:47:00Marcus, there are other people here.
00:47:01It's okay. Let them watch.
00:47:02Put your hand in the front. Get low. And really look at the ball.
00:47:03Nice shot.
00:47:04Nice shot.
00:47:05Yes, but I wouldn't say no to a refresher from someone as handsome as you.
00:47:16There we go.
00:47:17Marcus, there are other people here.
00:47:19It's okay, let them watch.
00:47:21Put your hand in the front, get low, and really look at the ball.
00:47:32Nice shot.
00:47:34It's your time to impress me.
00:47:39What is...
00:48:00Interesting.
00:48:04Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:05We better do something about that.
00:48:07Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:08We better do something about that.
00:48:10Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:11Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:13We better do something about that.
00:48:15Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:16Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:17Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:18We better do something about that.
00:48:20Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:21Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:22Oh, someone is all wet.
00:48:27They are all wet.
00:48:28We better do something about that.
00:48:30We better do something about that.
00:48:40What's all this?
00:48:43This is the fun I was talking about.
00:48:53I don't... I don't know about this.
00:48:55Think of it as an old boy.
00:48:57An open out there?
00:48:59We'll help you get into character.
00:49:03You want me.
00:49:05And I want you.
00:49:10Just let go.
00:49:14This is about you, Alexi.
00:49:19To free up that part of you that has been held back for so long.
00:49:22You were right. It does help.
00:49:27What do you think?
00:49:28I won't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:30I won't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:34I won't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:40You hear me?
00:49:42Yes.
00:49:43I won't go mad if anyone else sees how sexy you look right now.
00:49:48You hear me?
00:49:50Yes.
00:49:51You hear me?
00:49:52Yes.
00:49:53Do you hear me?
00:50:00Yes.
00:50:23Do you hear me?
00:50:53I want more.
00:51:03Then beg for it, my sweet.
00:51:06Please.
00:51:10Then beg for it, my sweet.
00:51:13Please, sir.
00:51:16I want more.
00:51:23I want more.
00:51:53Hey, um, okay, so I have some good news.
00:52:12Now, you may not be able to see Ethan yet, but he's showing strong signs of improvement.
00:52:18Thank you for telling me this.
00:52:20You don't know how much this means to me.
00:52:23Also, I, uh, I got you something.
00:52:26I noticed how you're always sketching with random pieces of paper when you're here with Ethan,
00:52:31so I thought you might find this useful.
00:52:34I didn't think you would have noticed that.
00:52:38Call me Will.
00:52:40I do have an identity outside of the hospital, you know?
00:52:43You do look kind of cute when you're not in scrubs.
00:52:48He's so different from Marcus.
00:52:49He's just simple, straightforward, and kind.
00:52:53The type of guy I always thought I would date.
00:53:05Shit.
00:53:05Is everything okay?
00:53:09No, no, it's not.
00:53:14Jenny!
00:53:16Why, hello there.
00:53:17If it isn't it's Bella Rivera, the new gold digger in town.
00:53:20You posted these photos, didn't you?
00:53:22I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:53:25You were the only one that knew I was in a private room with Marcus.
00:53:29So, do you have any proof?
00:53:31No?
00:53:32Then move along.
00:53:33Some of us have to work for a living.
00:53:36Honestly, I don't even understand what's got you so worked up.
00:53:39You know it's true, don't you?
00:53:42Are you really that naive to think Marcus is serious about you?
00:53:45You're just a replacement for his ex-wife.
00:53:51What?
00:53:52See for yourself.
00:54:00Go ask your beloved Marcus.
00:54:04No, it can't be.
00:54:07Stand up.
00:54:08Don't let them see you this way.
00:54:09You remind me of somebody that I used to know.
00:54:16God, you are so pathetic, even I feel sorry for you.
00:54:21Fine.
00:54:22I'll tell you her name.
00:54:24Lindsay Delaney.
00:54:26It's not like it's a secret.
00:54:28The Delanys were famous.
00:54:30And she was the love of his life.
00:54:39Mafia?
00:54:53Marcus has ties to the Mafia?
00:55:02Who are you?
00:55:04Really?
00:55:06Lindsay?
00:55:06Lindsay?
00:55:09I've been trying to call you.
00:55:25Why didn't you pick up?
00:55:26No reason.
00:55:27I was just in the bathroom.
00:55:30You okay?
00:55:31You sound...
00:55:31I'm fine.
00:55:33I'm fine.
00:55:34Just a little distracted, I guess.
00:55:37It's about Ethan, isn't it?
00:55:40Don't worry, he's going to be okay.
00:55:43Yeah, I know.
00:55:46So, um, why are you calling?
00:55:49I need you to come to your mother's house.
00:55:53My mom's house?
00:55:56Let go of me!
00:55:57Don't fucking move!
00:55:58Let go of me!
00:55:58Hey!
00:55:59Hey!
00:55:59What's going on?
00:56:05We're here to settle some long overdue matters from Elkhart.
00:56:09It's time the truth came out.
00:56:10What the fuck are you doing in my house?
00:56:12Your house.
00:56:15These documents prove your years of infidelity and financial misconduct.
00:56:20It shows you embezzlement of funds that rightfully belong to Itabella and Ethan Rivera.
00:56:24How could you?
00:56:34Mom trusted you and you betrayed her!
00:56:37I-I didn't do it!
00:56:38Mr. Elkhart?
00:56:39I don't think you could deny this any further.
00:56:43Marcus, how did you know about all this?
00:56:45I promised you it helped, didn't I?
00:56:48This is total bullshit!
00:56:50You have no fucking proof!
00:56:52You have no right to treat me this way!
00:56:55Get the fuck out of my house!
00:56:59Marcus, who is he?
00:57:00They work for me.
00:57:01You're relinquency control of your property, Mr. Elkhart.
00:57:05Sign the contract.
00:57:07I'm not fucking signing anything!
00:57:10You'll want to reconsider that, Sam.
00:57:12I'm doing you a favor.
00:57:14Sign it.
00:57:16Well, let's just say the consequences won't be as pretty.
00:57:20How does Marcus have all this power?
00:57:23Is it because of his mafia connections?
00:57:27They'll handle the rest.
00:57:28Let's get out of here.
00:57:29Let's do something else.
00:57:30Welcome back to the Mercado.
00:57:33Let's get back to the Riddle Pricesuni.
00:57:43Tell me about how it is.
00:57:50I am.
00:57:51So this is what you come to the Lactown for.
00:58:04Thank you for saving my house.
00:58:07Ethan's going to be so happy to hear it.
00:58:10How did you even manage that?
00:58:12I mean, it must have been hard to find all those documents.
00:58:15Let the past be the past.
00:58:19Let's not talk about it anymore.
00:58:20I'm just relaxed.
00:58:29It seems like part of you isn't relaxed enough.
00:58:33You're going to blame me?
00:58:48Just like that.
00:58:50Let's talk about it.
00:58:52Let's talk about it.
00:59:23You seem distracted. What's going on? This isn't just about Aether now, is it?
00:59:46There's... there's been some talk about us.
00:59:49You know I couldn't care less about that, and I hope you don't either.
00:59:53I... I found out about Lindsay.
00:59:57So we found out.
01:00:01I know I'm not supposed to ask this, but... did you kill someone?
01:00:09No.
01:00:09Well... but I tried to.
01:00:14Who was it? And why?
01:00:17His name was... his name was Julian. He's been a thorn in my side for many years.
01:00:26He set up a car crash trying to kill me, but instead he...
01:00:31Instead of killing me, he killed Lindsay and Maya.
01:00:37I wanted to destroy this guy so much. I wanted to kill him.
01:00:46Well, he used to kick her.
01:00:48And you're going to laugh when you hear this.
01:00:50The only damn reason I didn't kill him is because I found out he has a...
01:00:55There was a daughter.
01:00:58A five-year-old daughter, just like mine.
01:01:03And I couldn't do that to her.
01:01:07So I...
01:01:07I stepped away.
01:01:13That was the hardest thing I had to do.
01:01:15Just let it go.
01:01:18I'm sorry.
01:01:21Marcus, I didn't mean to bring back painful memories.
01:01:25It's okay.
01:01:25Is that what's been bothering you?
01:01:30Thinking that I'm dangerous.
01:01:34Maybe.
01:01:37There's also some other things.
01:01:41What else?
01:01:42When you look at me...
01:01:45Who do you see?
01:01:47Bella?
01:01:49Or Lindsay?
01:01:49I saw a photo of her.
01:01:54And I look just like her.
01:01:57Now I know why you stared at me like that the first time we met.
01:02:01And when I came out of the fitting room.
01:02:04It's why you picked me, isn't it?
01:02:07You've been so nice to me because I remind you of her.
01:02:11I'm just a replacement to you.
01:02:15It's true.
01:02:17You're right.
01:02:17And the first time I saw you.
01:02:22There was so much to Lindsay.
01:02:23It was uncanny.
01:02:24I...
01:02:25He caught me by surprise.
01:02:28I...
01:02:28It brought up some memories I didn't want to face.
01:02:38But the more I got to know you, I started realizing that...
01:02:42You're not just some ghost from my past.
01:02:46No.
01:02:46No.
01:02:47You're strength.
01:02:51You're your compassion.
01:02:54And your pure heart.
01:02:58That's what I care about.
01:03:00You're not just any girl, Bella.
01:03:04You're you.
01:03:05And that's what I care about.
01:03:08That's all I say.
01:03:09Get down.
01:03:19Get down, get down, get down.
01:03:21Bella, are you hit?
01:03:23Do you see your body?
01:03:24Are you hit?
01:03:25Get down, get down.
01:03:27Marcus, what's going on?
01:03:28Get down.
01:03:29And go leave the car before I tell you.
01:03:31Marcus, no.
01:03:32You're hurt.
01:03:32Stay in the car.
01:03:34Stay in the car.
01:03:34Stay in the car.
01:03:48Hey, we need to get out of here.
01:03:50Come on.
01:03:50Pick up the cell phone.
01:03:57Call Jason.
01:04:02Hey, Jason.
01:04:03Pick us up at 4th and Franklin.
01:04:05Did you kill them?
01:04:09No, I just shot their life.
01:04:10I took them out of commission.
01:04:12Are you right?
01:04:14You're not shot, right?
01:04:15I'm fine.
01:04:17Who were they?
01:04:19Julian's man.
01:04:20He's trying to send a message.
01:04:21What are you going to do?
01:04:22Are you okay?
01:04:25There's nothing to worry about.
01:04:27Hey, listen.
01:04:29I won't let anything happen to us.
01:04:32All right?
01:04:32I made a mistake once.
01:04:34Now we'll make another one.
01:04:37Mr. Delaney, people were a limit of gunshots.
01:04:39What's happening?
01:04:40Is this related to your feud with Julian Levine?
01:04:42Is this the woman from the leaked photos on social media?
01:04:45Is she your new wife?
01:04:47Don't say anything.
01:04:48Let's go.
01:04:49Oh, I've already moved on from Lindsay Delaney.
01:04:51Boss, we gotta go.
01:04:53Come on.
01:04:55You all right?
01:04:56Yeah, I just got shot.
01:05:00It's nothing.
01:05:01It's just a superficial wound.
01:05:04I don't know you had a rough night.
01:05:06Does this happen to you frequently?
01:05:08You already know the answer to that.
01:05:10A life like this isn't simple, right?
01:05:13It always comes with complications.
01:05:16Hey, you should go rest, man.
01:05:19You gotta go take care of Ethan in the morning.
01:05:21Don't you?
01:05:28Sam Alcott?
01:05:37Who the fuck are you?
01:05:39Someone with a common interest.
01:05:41I heard you lost everything because of a certain stripper.
01:05:46My daughter fell a fucking bitch.
01:05:50Consider this a gift to help you get back what you rightfully deserve.
01:05:55I assume you'll use it well?
01:05:57I know exactly what to do with it.
01:06:08Hi.
01:06:10Is it okay to visit Ethan today?
01:06:12Ethan, um...
01:06:14We don't have a patient here by that name.
01:06:17What?
01:06:17Dr. Carlson.
01:06:21Will, where's Ethan?
01:06:23Ethan's fine.
01:06:24Calm down.
01:06:25He's moved to a regular ward now that he's more stable.
01:06:28God, really?
01:06:29Yes, of course.
01:06:31Can I go see him?
01:06:33Yes, of course.
01:06:40You should try talking to him.
01:06:42Some patients start showing better signs when they hear a familiar voice.
01:06:48Hey, Ethan.
01:06:50It's Bella.
01:06:52I was thinking about that one time the other day, on Halloween,
01:06:57when you saved all the candy corn because you knew it was my favorite.
01:07:01And at the ATH concert,
01:07:04I think that was the first time I saw you smile since Mom passed.
01:07:08Ethan,
01:07:13I don't want you to become just another memory.
01:07:16There's still so much I want to do with you,
01:07:18and I need you to come back.
01:07:27What can you tell us about her metaphor?
01:07:29When she was born to...
01:07:31Mr. Barrett, is it true you're with Marcus Delaney for his inheritance?
01:07:34Any comments on your past as a stripper?
01:07:36Where's your brother?
01:07:37Can we talk to him?
01:07:38Okay, stop, stop, stop.
01:07:40Stay close to me.
01:07:42Is that your story?
01:07:43No, no, no, we can't get...
01:07:43How much is it?
01:07:44One second, I mean, come on.
01:07:46Please tell us, this is as much as the party is.
01:07:49Is there a ring in your future?
01:07:50How do you feel about cancer fakers?
01:07:52Maybe...
01:07:53Are you a real doctor?
01:07:58Shh, shh.
01:08:00We should be good here.
01:08:04Wait, where are they?
01:08:05We should be good here.
01:08:19I'm sorry.
01:08:20I didn't think they'd follow me all the way to the hospital.
01:08:22Don't apologize.
01:08:24It's not your fault.
01:08:25I can't imagine the pressure of being with someone so popular.
01:08:29He's...
01:08:32He's been helpful to me.
01:08:35You already have so much on your plate.
01:08:37You shouldn't take on more.
01:08:41Well...
01:08:41I don't want to be just Dr. Carlson to you anymore.
01:08:48I feel like it's...
01:08:49You already know this, but...
01:08:51I found for you, Bella.
01:08:55I...
01:08:56I don't know what to say.
01:08:59Oh, you don't have to say anything.
01:09:02I just wanted to tell you how I feel.
01:09:03What should I do about Marcus?
01:09:10I wouldn't even have this house back if it weren't for him.
01:09:13But with Will, everything just feels so easy.
01:09:17How did they find me?
01:09:27Where the hell have you been?
01:09:28I've been trying to reach you all day.
01:09:30Listen to me.
01:09:31You don't disappear on me without an explanation.
01:09:36I'm sorry.
01:09:37I had to wait for the paparazzi to leave my mom's house.
01:09:42Well, they followed you.
01:09:43They're everywhere.
01:09:45They even went to the hospital.
01:09:46Come here.
01:09:49Sit down.
01:09:52I'll have Jason handle it.
01:09:54They won't bother me anymore.
01:09:58Where's Ethan?
01:10:01He got out of the ICU.
01:10:04And the surgery is in two days.
01:10:08I'll have an important meeting that day.
01:10:11But I'll try to be there as soon as I can.
01:10:14That's okay.
01:10:15You don't have to.
01:10:18No, I won't to.
01:10:28The surgery was successful.
01:10:29Ethan pulled through greatly.
01:10:31That's amazing!
01:10:32He's unconscious right now, but you can see him already.
01:10:34Ethan, that's Bella.
01:10:41Thank you for being so strong.
01:10:47Bella?
01:10:48Bella!
01:10:50Bella, what's wrong?
01:10:53I don't know.
01:10:55Just to see.
01:10:56Yeah, because you've been working yourself so much.
01:10:59What the hell is going on around here?
01:11:01Marcus, no!
01:11:06Mr. Delaney, I presume.
01:11:09Get your hands off of her.
01:11:11She's mine.
01:11:12She's yours.
01:11:14When did she ever become yours?
01:11:16I'm going to say this one last time.
01:11:18She belongs to me.
01:11:20Wait, this is unbelievable.
01:11:22She's going through so much, and all you're thinking about is trying to control her?
01:11:26I wasn't sure about it at first, but now I'm certain.
01:11:29You're bad for her.
01:11:31Bella?
01:11:31Ethan, I'm here.
01:11:35How are you feeling?
01:11:36I can't breathe.
01:11:38Yeah, no, it's because you just went through a major surgery, all right?
01:11:41You're okay.
01:11:42It's just going to take some time to adjust.
01:11:46You're doing great, Ethan.
01:11:54Hey.
01:11:55You said there was something you wanted to talk to me about?
01:11:59I want to terminate our contract.
01:12:01Oh, why?
01:12:06Is this about what happened with Will, Dr. Carlson?
01:12:11No.
01:12:12I want you to be free.
01:12:14Especially now, since Ethan's condition is improving.
01:12:16I don't want you to be bound by this contract any longer.
01:12:28So, you're not jealous?
01:12:31Yes and no.
01:12:34I think it's time that we reassess what we are.
01:12:37I hope I can see you again, Mr. Delaney.
01:13:05Thank you for everything you've done for me.
01:13:08And for Ethan.
01:13:12Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:13:15I'm not finished.
01:13:18I...
01:13:18Now, since the contract is over, there's something I need to tell you.
01:13:22Bella, I love you, and I want a future with you.
01:13:30I want a future with you.
01:13:40What did she say?
01:13:41Damn it, Bella, I said I love you, and it's not because of Lindsay, or the damn contract.
01:13:50It's because of who you are.
01:13:52You changed my life, and I want to spend the rest of it with you.
01:13:55But you made it clear it was just a deal between us.
01:14:01You said you didn't believe in love.
01:14:04Yeah.
01:14:05For the longest time, I thought love would make me weak.
01:14:08But then you came along, and you showed me that we can be...
01:14:13It can make us stronger together.
01:14:14I'm ready to fully commit to this.
01:14:18To us.
01:14:20Bella, be mine.
01:14:23I don't know.
01:14:25Marcus, this is just so sudden.
01:14:28I need time to figure things out.
01:14:33Yeah, I understand.
01:14:36Take all the time you need.
01:14:38Just like the first time, when I brought up the deal.
01:14:40And if you choose to be with Dr. Carlson over there, I...
01:14:45But there's one thing I want you to know.
01:14:49I want to protect you for the rest of my life.
01:14:52I'm serious about that.
01:15:07You took everything from me.
01:15:10Are you all right?
01:15:23Why are you so fucking persistent?
01:15:30Marcus!
01:15:31Marcus, are you okay?
01:15:33Yes, I'm fine.
01:15:38Marcus!
01:15:38I'm okay.
01:15:40I'm okay.
01:15:41Help.
01:15:42Please.
01:15:53Marcus.
01:15:54Hey.
01:15:55How are you feeling?
01:15:57I'm all right.
01:15:58I can't believe you did that.
01:16:02I'll do it again.
01:16:03I'll do anything to keep you safe.
01:16:06Marcus, I have to tell you something about what you said before.
01:16:13I love you, Marcus.
01:16:17There was never going to be somebody else.
01:16:20It was always going to be you.
01:16:22I may not be able to walk again.
01:16:34I'll love you no matter what.
01:16:38I feel so good now that Sam's in jail.
01:16:54You still need to be careful, though.
01:16:56We'll only agree to let you come home as a trial, remember?
01:16:59I know, I know, I know.
01:17:00It's just...
01:17:01We're here.
01:17:03The home we grew up in.
01:17:04This is going to do a lot of good for me, okay?
01:17:06I know it.
01:17:06I feel it.
01:17:08Hey, did you hear Julian DeLavine got arrested, too?
01:17:11Yeah.
01:17:12Marcus told me.
01:17:13They finally got enough evidence against him.
01:17:16It's a good thing Marcus' legacy did.
01:17:20It's an item for me, okay?
01:17:22I will.
01:17:23Marcus, what is all this?
01:17:38This is your new office.
01:17:40Your own interior design studio.
01:17:46Marcus, I can't believe it.
01:17:48May I propose another contract?
01:17:54One that proves my undying love for you.
01:17:58Isabella, Rivera, would you marry me?
01:18:04Oh my God.
01:18:05Yes, I will.
01:18:06Yes.
01:18:06I will.
01:18:06This must be one.
01:18:18I've been dreaming of.
01:18:20You can be.
