Original subtitles

Five years, and he's always asking if I like it. Never lasts more than a minute.

Five, four, three... God,

I fucking had it. Even a man like me can't satisfy you.

Thank God Vivian's finally coming home. She's way better than you. Vivian,

Roman's high school girlfriend.

For five years, I was just her stand-in.

In 30 days, I will announce our engagement at my succession ceremony.

There's 10 grand on that card.

Consider it your severance.

30 days?

What about my contract?

Contract? The one that made you my physician?

Don't insult me. Your only job here is warming my bed on command.

How can you... I love you, Roman.

I gave up my dreams for you. I put up with all of this.

What, were you expecting something?

A ring?

You didn't actually think I'd marry you, did you?

Look at yourself.

What man would ever love you?

Don't get any ideas about running, Mia. I've still got your ID locked up. You're

not going anywhere until that contract's final day.

Look at you.

You're an embarrassment.

I'm repulsed, buddy.

30 days. I'm getting this body back to its peak. I'm taking back my dignity and

making that bastard beg on his knees for my forgiveness.

Hey, watch where you're going, man!

My bad.

Scared you that bad, scaredy cat?

You're a woman?

Disappointed?

I'm not... What are you doing?

Just figuring out what this is going to cost me.

This will sting.

Bear with it.

Holding on that

tight.

We've only known each other for three minutes.

Just go easy.

Your calves are this tight.

How long have you been running?

None of your business.

Guess it isn't.

I just hate seeing potential go to waste.

Ouch! Don't tense up, sweetheart.

The tighter you are, the worse it hurts.

Her fingers are so long.

See something you like?

No.

Hey, keep that up and I'll think you like women too.

What? No way!

I'm straight!

Okay, okay.

By the way, how's your leg feeling?

Oh, my leg? It's fine. Nothing special.

Nothing special?

What's wrong with me?

She's just a woman!

Oh, I get it.

My mistake.

I wasn't taking care of that part.

Enough! That part...

It doesn't hurt.

You sure?

The inner thigh is the easiest place to strain.

I'm sure. I think I'd know if it hurt or not.

And yet your hand's shaking, sweetheart.

Fine. Your call.

Who are you, anyway?

Your new neighbor.

Moved in last week.

Neighbor? How did you know where I... I happened to see you head out.

Anyway, up you get. Take a few steps. How does it feel?

You know your way around training.

What do you actually do?

Personal trainer.

I've seen a hundred beginners like you.

Hop on.

I'll give you a ride home.

Suit yourself.

But at this rate, if you insist on walking home, you won't be able to get

out of bed tomorrow.

Smart girl.

Well, well.

Look who's here.

Let me guess.

Dressed like that, trying some new trick to get my attention?

Get you worked up? You don't deserve the effort.

Oh, I get it. You're trying a different angle to win back my attention.

Want me to take you back, huh?

What?

Sweetheart, you can dress it up all you like, but it's still trash.

I bet you won't even make it three days.

Save it. Name one bet you've ever actually won. You couldn't even get

Vivian to come back when you wanted her, you just waited.

Crazy bitch.

Roman, I changed my mind.

Getting down on your knees and begging me to forgive you?

That'd be way too easy for you.

I'm gonna ruin you.

Look at yourself.

What man would ever love you? God, Roman.

30 days.

I can hold out.

Where am I?

My place.

You're finally awake.

Sorry, I keep putting you out.

Eat?

I don't want a body turning up in my brand new house.

So, what's got a woman this worked up?

There's a gala in 30 days. I have to be there.

You said you're a personal trainer.

Could you train me?

What, you want to play Cinderella and go win someone over? No, no, I'm going to

wreck it.

Got it. Sorry, I'm not interested in some ridiculous love triangle soap

opera. Wait, that's not what this is!

My father was the Vane family's personal physician.

Years ago, he died because of the head of the family.

I'm sorry, Mia.

Your father died taking a bullet for me. To make it up to you, for the next five

years, as long as I don't step down, you can continue your father's work and stay

with the Vane family as our personal physician.

Personal physician?

For five years, he never once treated me like a person.

That day was when my contract ran out and his succession night.

Since I can't leave yet, I'll send him off with one last gift. For myself.

All right. I like it. I'm in.

30 days. I'll make you walk through that door looking so good that no one in the

room dares to blink.

5.30 a.m., my front door. Be late, and there's a punishment.

Deal?

Something wrong?

Deal.

Muscle spasms.

That run today drained you more than I thought.

Bathrooms on the second floor.

Ten minutes under hot water. Let those muscles loosen up.

And then?

And then.

If you want to walk tomorrow, you'd better do it.

Your muscle's cramping.

If we don't work it out now, you won't be able to walk tomorrow.

I know that! Just let me at least put some clothes on, okay?

Okay.

What are you doing?

If you want to destroy him in 30 days, then take it.

Open your mouth.

Breathe.

I can't.

Tighten your core.

Look at me.

You can't even resist this little temptation?

How are you going to seduce that fool's guests?

I don't need to seduce anyone!

Is that so?

Then why are you getting so wet so fast?

Sweat or something else?

Sorry to bother you. I'm Vivian, the new neighbor. Could you help with something?

Vivian?

What is she doing here?

Happy to help?

That motorcycle out front. Mind if I take a picture?

My brother's been hunting for this model forever.

I need to send him a photo.

Go ahead.

Mind being in the picture too?

Is your brother shopping for the bike or the woman riding it?

Right now, I think I want both.

Thanks. You should come by the estate sometime. Drinks are on me.

I'll take you up on that.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm leaving.

Did I say something wrong?

Do you have... hit on everyone like that?

Oh, you're jealous.

I'm not. I just think you're disgusting.

Sounds like you need to be taught a lesson.

Just leaving my mark.

Let that loser see who you belong to now.

Blushing again?

Can you really get heat strike indoors?

Don't touch me. I need to go.

Don't forget.

Half past five tomorrow morning.

I've already decided what happens if you're late.

This afternoon, she was flirting with a woman, and now she's all over Roman?

What is she even into?

Mia? Where have you been?

Does it matter where I've been?

Why don't you ask your new fiancé where she was this afternoon?

This afternoon?

Weren't you still on the road this afternoon?

Yeah, traffic was an absolute nightmare. I even got out to ask for directions.

And who's this?

A maid? She certainly knows what's going on.

Her? She's the Mia I told you about.

Oh, Mia.

She's... something else.

Touch me! Where the hell were you?

Out turning tricks?

Which bastard did this?

Fuck! How dare you! We only just split up!

Someone way better than you.

Someone who can actually satisfy me.

Unlike you.

Lay a finger on me and I'll make sure your dad knows what a failure you are.

Just leaving my mark.

Let that loser see who you belong to now.

It's nothing, Mia. She's just messing with you.

Talk. How much do you know about this afternoon?

Enough to keep Roman up at night?

No. You didn't hear about it.

You were in that villa, weren't you?

Gotcha. Your eyes give everything away.

Tell me.

What are you two to each other?

None of your business.

I see.

Played the part for five years and it turns out you never liked men at all.

Here's the deal.

What happened this afternoon stays between us.

Your little girlfriend stays a secret, too.

If Roman ever found out, you know who gets thrown out on the street first, and

so do I.

She's not my girlfriend.

Keep denying it, sweetheart.

Nobody asked.

Good night, little dyke.

I'm not!

Nonsense.

How could I ever fall for a...

Seen enough?

Who's watching you? I'm catching my breath.

Twenty minutes late.

What kept you up last night?

Alexandra.

Insomnia? Fine. You remember the rules.

Late means a punishment.

Today I say, you do.

Do what?

It's already too late to ask.

Hips down.

Breathe. I told you to stretch, not hold your breath.

Wait. We need to get something straight.

This is just training. Your hands and the way you lean in when you talk, all

of it.

Don't do that.

Don't flirt with every woman you meet.

Fine. Your rules.

But one correction.

I don't flirt with everyone.

You're the first to complain, and the only one.

What? What does she mean by that?

Well then, punishment over.

Training officially begins.

She really won't touch me anymore?

Core tight.

Sorry, I...

Answer it.

Where the hell are you this early? The butler says you left before sunrise.

What's wrong with you? Wait, Mia. Who are you with?

Wait, Mia.

Who are you with?

The clerk at the convenience store.

Buying water.

Water? Is the house out of water?

Get back here now. I need to talk to you.

clerk at the convenience store?

What else? Should I tell him I went over to some stranger's house before sunrise

to break a sweat?

I know exactly which muscles you haven't worked.

And you call me a stranger?

Training. It's called training, okay?

So this is how it's going to be until you settle the score?

He calls and you come running back like you're on a leash?

Move in here.

What? The guest room's empty. No more running back and forth for training, and

no one policing what time you come home.

No, no, no. What would that even be?

Roommates. Or are you scared of something?

I'm not scared. I mean, I should get going.

Fine. Go on. Your man's waiting.

He's not my man!

I know.

What do you know?

If you had a man, you wouldn't be at my door every morning.

Mia, if anything happens, call me.

What could happen to me?

Who knows?

With your luck, you could buy a bottle of water and end up in my house.

Come here, Mia.

Spit it out. What is it?

Vivian told me everything.

Answer me one thing, Mia.

Are you a lesbian?

What did you just say?

I'll ask once more.

Yes or no?

What? No, that's insane!

See, I told you. You're overthinking it.

Her? Who'd ever want her?

Maybe a John.

Really? I swear I saw her practically on a date with that butch girl.

You're worried about me?

Worry about what you've been up to?

Enough. Until the contract's up, you're not going anywhere. Stay home.

Are you seriously grounding me?

That's an order.

An order?

Has Everett advocated?

This house isn't yours to command yet.

Save it Everett won't protect you forever the day. I take the vain name.

I'll throw you out like the trash you are Is that so then you'd

better pray that dream comes true

All sorted out?

Hey there.

Guess what I brought.

What's this about?

Come to buy my bike?

Come on now.

Remember? I said I'd share a drink with you sometime, so... May I come in?

Thanks.

So, you drove all the way out here just for a drink with me?

Honey, I'm sure you know exactly who I am.

My fiancé's a bore.

And you?

You look like you know your way around women.

Alexandra?

What are you two doing?

Alexandra? What are you doing?

Get out. If this is what you came here for, don't set foot in my house again.

So cold-hearted, but I like you this way too.

We'll meet again soon.

What's with that long face?

Anyone would think you're jealous.

Jealous? I think it's disgusting.

She's Roman's fiancé, and you'll take in anything that comes knocking? You have

no standards at all.

I thought it was you knocking. Otherwise, I'd never have opened the

door. Who knows what would have happened if I'd come later? If anything were

going to happen, do you really think she'd have walked out on her own?

You're shameless!

Relax.

I didn't touch her.

Now, what's really going on with you showing up at my place this late? I want

to move out of the estate.

Ever since Vivian moved in, Roman's been picking fights with me on any excuse. I

can't spend another day there. Made up your mind, have you?

Good. My guest room's always open. You can move in tomorrow.

I can move in.

But I have conditions.

What? A few days in and you're already bargaining with me?

Training? Stay strictly within limits.

I swear.

Anything beyond the limits, that's on the house.

Alexandra!

For your plan, the training ahead is going to be brutal. Think you can handle

it?

I can.

Whatever it costs.

Does it look weird?

No.

What's weird isn't you.

It's me starting to feel sorry for that idiot in the vein family.

Come on.

I'm taking you somewhere.

Let's see how the results hold up.

Get used to it tomorrow night every eye in that room will be on you even harder

than this Wow

look over there over here beautiful this rounds on me

Oh

my

god, who is that?

See you in a bit, darling.

New face?

Around here, newcomers have to introduce themselves first.

Long time no see, Vivian.

You're here too?

Mia?

Save me a glass of champagne at the gala tomorrow night.

A gala?

She's planning to steal Roman from me at my own engagement party?

Fuck, dream on.

Before the gala tomorrow night, stop that woman named Mia.

Do whatever you want with her.

The filthier the better.

I want her to suffer.

Someone's paying for trouble at a woman's engagement party by your rules.

We ask you first before we make a move

I'm

having second thoughts About what?

Making you look this good.

Alexandra?

What the hell are you doing?

What is that for?

Remember.

Tonight, you're mine.

And you're their death sentence.

Pull the trigger, I'll handle the rest.

I will.

I hear Roman sleeps around.

Vivian doesn't mind?

Who knows? Maybe they deserve each other.

Honey, who are you looking for?

No one.

I'm going to fix my makeup. Back in a minute.

Damn it.

Where the hell is everybody?

Easy, Vivian.

Easy. That bitch is already dead.

Who is that?

She's stunning. No one else here even comes close.

Roman Vane, our contract's up.

Time to settle what you owe me.

Roman Vane, our contract's up. Time to settle what you owe me.

Wait, that's Mia? His personal doctor?

Wow. Look at you. Quite the transformation.

So, Mia, what exactly do you want?

Just what I'm owed.

The contract is clear. After 30 days, you settle up in front of everyone.

Those 30 days end tonight.

You show up dressed like this, hoping I'll regret letting you go?

Regret?

Roman, you really think this is about you?

Honey, don't let her ruin tonight.

She just wants money.

Half right.

I want my money, and I want an explanation.

My father saved Everett Vane's life. The deal was that I'd stay here as a private

doctor. Instead, Roman Vane spent five years holding my papers hostage and

treating me like a maid, a joke, and someone he could drag into bed whenever

he felt like it.

Saved his life? But didn't that doctor... Shut up!

The Vane reputation means everything to you, doesn't it?

Let's show everyone what it's really worth.

That's enough, Mia.

You're making a scene.

Stop now, and I'll let it slide.

Apologize, and I'll let you stay.

Money, a room, making us official, it's all on the table.

You still think I came here begging you to let me stay?

I'm here to show everyone you don't deserve the vain name.

And you sure as hell don't deserve to lead this family.

Security! Get her out of here!

So, who's first?

Alexandra? Don't be scared.

Remember? I gave you a gun.

Anyone comes near you, blow their head off.

Have you lost your mind?

You fired a gun in our home?

Who the hell do you think you are? Some street thug playing tough in a cheap

jacket? A low-life punk?

Cole!

That's the Cole family crest.

What?

Alexandra Cole.

Now you know who I am.

The Cole family heir.

Sign. Pay up.

Let her go.

You don't get to order me around.

Then refuse.

See if you want a war with the Coles on your hands tonight.

Sign it.

As of right now, I owe your family nothing.

Mia, you'll regret this.

No, Roman, you will.

Alexandra Cole.

A little wolf with a bite.

I like it.

Here. Your hands are shaking.

You knew who I was from the very beginning.

You knew who I was. You knew about Roman, about the gala. You weren't

training me just to help me. You wanted a way to get at the veins, didn't you?

Yes.

So I was a pawn to you too?

Before the gala tomorrow night, stop that woman named Nia.

Do whatever you want with her. The filthier, the better.

I used you. I also saved your life. Call it even.

Was any of it real?

Not all of it.

Where are you going?

To give you some space.

I don't want space.

Mia, do you know what you're doing?

Think carefully.

Once this starts, I won't stop.

Alexandra.

Say it again.

Still

time

to back out.

I'm not backing out.

I used to think I'd always hate being touched like this.

And now?

Now I know.

I'm fucking hooked.

Tonight, just let yourself enjoy it, darling.

Think they're ugly?

No. Every scar means you made it through.

Too plain.

Double the budget. I want everyone to know I'm the future Mrs. Vane.

Yes, miss.

Marriage is business, darling.

A girl deserves a little pleasure on the side.

And when I want something, I'll do whatever it takes.

Oh, God.

I'm still not convinced this thing is safe.

It's only as safe as the person holding it.

Relax your shoulders. Eyes forward.

Breathe.

Well, look at that. You actually hit the target again.

This time, trust me.

Has anyone ever told you what a good teacher you are, Alexandra?

You're just a fast learner.

Only when it comes to guns?

Alexandra Cole, at last. A proper introduction.

I wasn't expecting you.

It's for you.

The Vane family's way of apologizing. Limited edition motorcycle parts.

There are only three sets in all of North America.

Not interested.

Don't want the gift?

Fine. But I always get what I want.

Then you've had a good run.

Until today.

We'll see each other again.

Did she touch you?

What?

Vivian, did she touch you? No, of course not. She came to deliver a gift.

Was the gift her perfume? Because you're wearing it.

Then you saw me pull away when she leaned in.

What, half an inch?

Are you mad?

Don't be ridiculous.

Then tell me, what's really bothering you?

I told you, she's dangerous.

Stay away from her.

So you're worried about me?

I'm warning you!

Sounds like jealousy.

Alright, next time I'll keep her ten feet away. Happy?

No. I said stay away from her.

Okay. Whatever you say.

Come on, I'm taking you somewhere.

Oh my god, Alexandra. Seriously, what are you, five?

Maybe. So, will you feed me?

There are people here!

I thought you'd like it.

Alexandra!

Sir, Mr. Vane is waiting.

Drive.

Three partners pulled out.

Two banks froze our credit.

Happy now?

Cole's doing this to provoke us.

Did Cole make you let some cheap Trump humiliate you in front of everyone?

You chose her.

I don't want another scandal before the wedding.

Fuck! That bitch thinks she's won because she's with Cole? Give it a

month! She'll come crawling back!

Sir, the list of partners you asked for.

Bennett.

Find out where she's been going these past few days.

Mia?

Tell me when she leaves the house alone.

Yes, sir.

Now?

Fine.

Trouble at the club. I have to go.

Buy whatever you want.

Buy the whole mall if you feel like it.

You're ridiculous.

I lost weight. I just need clothes that fit.

Hey!

What is wrong with you?

Shh. Keep it down. I just want to talk.

Name your price.

I'm only saying this once. Come back.

Are you high?

I'll forget that night ever happened. Come home. Money, your room, making us

official. We can work it out.

Wipe your ass with it, you idiot.

Mia!

Let go!

You really think Cole will go to war with the veins over you?

She will.

She will?

Then where is she?

Alexandra will be back in ten minutes.

You better pray she doesn't see you here.

Why do you think she left in the first place?

That emergency at her club?

Bennett made the call.

On my orders.

Last chance.

Come back to the manor, and we'll pretend none of this happened.

You've got until I say one.

Open the door, or I put a bullet through the lock. Then your knee.

One. Fuck!

Son of a bitch!

What a cheap move.

You'd shoot me in here?

Try me.

Take one more step toward Mia and I swear I'll blow your head off.

Did he hurt you?

No. Stop worrying.

Alexandra, I told you. He didn't. Let me see for myself.

He touched you here?

He just grabbed my wrist.

Everywhere he touched you. I'm going to make you forget him.

Then you'd better be thorough.

Roman? He went after Mia?

Miss, should we keep following them?

If that fat bitch makes Roman take her back... No.

Stop tailing them. I know what to do.

Meaning?

You want to tame a wolf?

Make her watch you destroy what she's trying to protect.

And Roman?

Once that woman's gone for good, he'll have no choice but to let her go.

It's me.

I need a little favor.

You're hiding things from me again.

Just a scratch.

You and I have very different ideas of what counts as a scratch.

Say something if it hurts.

I don't want to look weak in front of you.

You're afraid of looking weak?

Grow up a coal, you learn fast.

Don't fear pain.

Don't show weakness.

Never let anyone cage you. So that's why you never hurt me?

I've seen too many people locked in pretty cages.

You don't belong in one.

You're not in a cage anymore either.

What does this mean?

A spare key.

It has the coal crest on it.

What if I take your bike and get into trouble?

Steal it and I'll take it as you asking me to run away with you.

If I'm not there to protect you, I want this to help keep you safe.

Sir,

I've got a routine.

Every Thursday, around 9, she goes to the pharmacy on 5th Street alone. There

are gaps in the camera coverage, and Cole's people don't always go with her.

Alone?

Yes.

She thinks changing how she looks means she's free?

Thursday morning.

Pick her up on the way and bring her back.

No mess.

What if Miss Cole... Do I have to spell it out? Wait until she's alone!

Wait. Get another room ready. The one on the top floor of the manor. Soundproof

it. Yes, sir.

Miss Halloway?

Who are you?

The Vane family's attorney sent us.

It's about the division of assets now that your contract has ended.

We need you to sign a few documents.

I know all of Everett's lawyers.

You're not them.

Miss Halloway, please cooperate.

Son of a bitch!

Roman sent you?

The pharmacy's camera footage was swapped out.

Who did it? Can't trace it.

But my guess is the Vane family.

Roman?

Pull the footage along her route. Start where she was last seen.

Roman.

Roman, have you lost your goddamn mind?

I'm just putting things back where they belong.

Being with Cole isn't safe.

Stay here for a while.

Fuck you, Roman!

Get out!

If I die in here, what do you think your family's going to do to you?

Don't push me.

Don't you push me!

Fine. You'll learn to fall in line eventually.

We traced it. The van belongs to a vein company.

They swapped the plates halfway.

Send the veins a message.

Give her back.

Everett shut it down. Says there's to be no conflict before the wedding.

They kidnapped my girl. Now they want to keep things civil?

Alexandra, save your breath.

You can't even get through the manor gates. We'll see about that.

Miss Vivian.

What's with you two lately?

Is Roman hiding a surprise for me? No, miss. Nothing like that.

Just routine, miss.

Wow. Looks like Roman really did have a surprise waiting for me. Did Roman send

you?

No.

I'd like a moment alone with her.

Just us girls.

I should thank Roman.

He put you in a cage for me.

But a cage isn't enough.

You've had your hands on something I want, Mia.

Now I have to get rid of the contamination.

Alexandra isn't yours.

Not yet.

Honestly, what does a woman like her see in you? Or is she just getting some

practice in?

How much did that cost you?

What?

You've tried every trick in the book.

Did she even give you a second glance?

You think money buys everything?

It won't buy Alexandra.

She makes her own choices.

And she chose me.

Exactly. So I just have to make sure you're no longer an option.

Don't worry.

You won't be in my way much longer.

What do you want this time?

I've changed my mind.

Roman's the same boring fool he's always been.

What's the fun in keeping you locked in here?

Let's play a game.

This card opens the service corridor.

2 AM, side door, guard change.

You get 90 seconds with nobody watching.

So?

Simple rules.

Make it out, and you're gone for good. Leave the city. Never let Alexander set

eyes on you again. Not once.

Why would I play your game?

You don't have to. We can skip the game and go straight to the ending.

Aren't you scared that once I'm out, I'll come back for you?

Like you said, that's only if you get out.

2 a.m. Good luck, Mia.

Never see Alexander again?

Not a chance.

But it's my only way out. Get out first, deal with the rest once I'm clear.

Miss, are you...

Really letting her go?

Did I say that?

After two, there's going to be an accident on the road from the manor to

the state line.

Drunk driver.

Too dark to see the woman in the road.

What if she doesn't take that road?

Trust me. It's the only road she's got.

I want her gone. Make it clean.

Understood, miss. It'll be clean.

Sir, it's almost 2 in the morning. Whatever this is, it can wait till

morning. Morning?

I want to see her.

Now.

Sir, she's not going anywhere Tomorrow morning put her in my bed.

I'll give those legs something to do besides running away

She didn't take the road.

Miss Van called it.

Gotcha. I knew a smart girl wouldn't take the main road.

Sweet dreams, Mia.

Where is she?

We had men on this door all night, sir.

Fuck! You worthless goddamn pieces of shit!

Without a keycard, there's no way she walked out of this room. Pull the

security footage.

Now!

Pause it zoom in on the card number Sir this

card it's registered to Vivian

Darling

my card won't open the door anymore.

I need a new one Thank

you darling

Sir, Miss Vivian has been going out rather a lot this month.

Noted.

You know, I haven't seen Mia in ages.

Where is she these days?

Shacking up with that mob princess?

Not a chance.

Okay, okay.

Just asking.

She knows how I feel about Mia.

Sir, maybe she just let Mia go.

No, that doesn't make sense. Why would she let Mia go?

I'll get the security team. Don't!

Find out who Vivian's been meeting with and find Mia.

I want her alive.

Do you know why you're still breathing?

I want you to call Alexander yourself. Tell her you and Roman are back

together.

You're out of your mind. You know what makes me sick? She belongs with someone

like me. Instead, she's obsessed with you. You.

The trash Roman spent five years using up. She doesn't choose people by their

price tag, Vivian.

That's why she'll never choose you.

Make the call, or you're fish food.

Miss, I'm at the manor. Colesman found me!

We do it now.

Now? Vivian!

You're going to regret this!

No, darling.

Once you're gone, she'll only have eyes for me.

Where is she? Lake.

By the old pier.

Our people are ten minutes out.

I don't have ten minutes.

You little bitch.

Stop fucking whining and get it done.

You looked into my family, Vivian.

You know what happens next.

Only they have rules about this.

I don't.

No!

Alexandra, just listen to me.

Alexandra?

Can you walk?

Yeah. Listen, Alexandra.

That has to be Roman coming. Take her and you're declaring war on the veins.

Since when have I given a shit about that?

Are you out of your mind? There's no way out of this lake.

Get out of my way.

Alexandra, you're bleeding.

You're really worrying about me right now?

What are you talking about?

You're right, Kitty.

You can tell me off when we get out of this alive.

Don't shoot at them! Hit the hole!

That's bullshit! The boat'll blow! I said hit the hole!

Fine.

Change of plans. No!

I'm not leaving you!

Okay.

Together, then.

Sir, the pier is just up ahead.

Change of plan.

Send our men after those two boats out on the lake.

Sir, it's Mia and Vivian. Miss Cole's there too.

Vivian's completely lost it. What the fuck are you waiting for? Send everyone

after them. Everyone!

Miss, the water's too dark. We can't see a thing. Then get in and find them!

We can't rule out a second explosion. Going in is suicide.

Then die trying!

Alexandra!

Answer me!

Sir,

someone saw two people go overboard before the blast. It might not be as bad

as it looks. Not as bad as it looks? What is she, a fucking fish?

Fuck! Tonight has been one goddamn disaster after another.

Sir, there's a gravel beach to the east. If they made it out, that's where they'd

come ashore. Get the men. With me.

Kidnapping. Chasing her boat.

Shooting at it.

Vivian, you better start explaining.

Look at me!

Why the hell was Mia on that boat?

Nobody cares about your little pet!

I am so done with you, Roman, you arrogant son of a bitch!

Alexandra is still out there in that water!

Who?

Alexandra Cole!

Are you deaf?

Oh my god.

Vivian, are you... Are you fucking gay too?

Keep looking!

If she's not down there, widen the search. I want her found, alive or dead!

Sir, the currents in here are brutal. They've been down three times already. I

think... Shut your damn mouth!

I said get back down there!

Save it, Roman.

Who's supposed to believe you care this much?

Shut up!

None of this would have happened if it wasn't for you!

If you hadn't locked her upstairs like a fucking creep, she wouldn't have had to

run off with Alexandra.

On the shore, we found something.

No, no, that's not possible. Alexandra went into that water to save her. And if

you want somebody to blame, Roman, you're the one who killed them!

Freeze!

Hands on your head! One more step and you're dead!

I said freeze!

Are you out of your fucking mind? That's Miss Poole!

Tie that blind bastard up and feed him to the sharks.

Now!

No. Please, no.

It hurts.

I'm here.

Stop. Best medic you've got.

Infirmary. Two minutes. If she dies, you're all going in the water.

Yes, Miss Cole.

Move ES. Tip in here in five.

Boss, the bullet is still in there. It has to come out now.

I'll live.

Her first.

Boss. Go.

If her heart stops so does yours.

Alexandra, what the hell were you thinking? You're this family's heir, and

you nearly drowned for some woman we know nothing about.

You don't need to know who she is. You need to know one thing. She stays.

You think I don't know? She's tied up with the Vane family. You have lost your

damn mind!

Then I'll vouch for her.

Anything happens, it's on me.

Your life belongs to this family.

You don't get to put it up as collateral.

Get her out of that bed and throw her back in the sea

Touch me just try

it Back off Listen carefully

from now on if anyone so much as touches a hair on her head they answer to me

You'd better not live to regret this get out

That was insane.

She's kept her cool ever since she took over.

I've never seen her stand up to Mark like that. Not for anyone.

So who the hell is that woman in there?

Boss, we're just gonna let that go?

What's the rush?

You saw her.

She pulled a gun on her own family for an outsider.

You mean... That woman's her weakness.

We don't have to lift a finger. We wait until she lets her guard down for her.

We'll have to wait and see when she wakes up.

And... You keep putting this off, you're going to lose the arm.

Then do it here.

I'm not walking out that door.

The engagement is off.

I'll have my lawyer drop the papers.

So I don't get a say?

This isn't a discussion.

Roman, your father would never allow a scandal like that.

Not with the family name on the line. We both know it.

The room upstairs, the chains, the access log.

Every second you kept me a prisoner, right here.

We're in this together now, like it or not.

What do you mean?

Isn't it obvious?

I need your family's money and connections.

My father's company is going under.

The board wants him out.

I need the vain name to keep us afloat for another year.

Vivian, what happened to you?

Please, Roman.

I've always been this way. You shared a bed with Mia for five years and never

knew her. What makes you think you knew me?

This is so fucked up.

Mia is a lesbian. So are you.

Everybody made a damn fool out of me.

Glad you caught up.

You brought it all on yourself.

Alexandra. Easy.

Take it slow, sweetheart.

How long was I out? Where am I?

Three days.

And this is the Cole family's island.

The safest place on Earth.

Your arm?

It's nothing.

How do you feel?

I'm fine, Alexandra.

But we need to work on your definition of nothing.

Stay, Mia.

Stay with me.

I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. No one will ever treat you like

that again.

It's okay, Mia.

If you don't want to stay here, I can take you somewhere else.

No. Alexandra, what are people saying about me out there? The Vane family's

search teams came up empty. Everyone thinks you're dead.

Good. Mia, I know what you're thinking.

But this is too dangerous for you. They've got the whole Vane family

standing behind them.

It's also the best chance I'll ever get to leave my old life behind.

I'm not wasting it on hiding.

No one's looking for a dead woman.

That gives me room to work.

What are you planning?

I'm going to make the whole Vane family pay.

Give me the names.

Every Vane you want gone, I'll take care of it within a month. No. I've made up

my mind, Alexandra.

I spent five years serving the Vans.

I'm going to take them down myself.

Okay.

Your call.

But you have to let me do three things. Let me keep you safe.

Let me leave the decisions to you.

And let me be at your disposal whenever you need me.

Deal.

Mia is with me.

From today, she's family.

An order from her is an order from me.

What? An outsider?

Boss, this breaks the rules.

The Cole family doesn't bring outsiders into the inner circle.

I made the rules.

And now I'm changing them.

Cole family?

Miss Cole, why should we trust a stranger nobody knows the first thing

about? You don't need to trust her. You need to trust me.

Word is, she's got ties to the Vane family. Half this table opposed you from

day one.

Why should we trust a stranger nobody knows the first thing about?

If this goes wrong, I'll give up everything I've won for this family.

You worry about doing your job. Leave her to me.

Alexandra, your father never let outsiders make decisions for this

family. You're putting everything we have at risk.

My father never let a woman run the arms business either, but I'm the one who

closed the biggest deal this family has ever had.

Rules change, so do people.

Miss Cole, half this table opposed you from day one. Now you're bringing in

dead weight?

Are we all supposed to indulge you?

What's this, sweetheart? You wanna...

Ah, fuck!

You're a fucking psycho!

Now, who else thinks I'm dead weight?

You've got nerve.

Let's hope the family can afford the consequences, Miss Cole.

I'll admit you surprised me, but being tough isn't enough.

You've got to learn the rules, sweetheart.

What's up, darling?

Teach me.

Guns, hand-to-hand, all of it.

So, I'm your trainer again.

Start by putting it back together.

Every shot.

Keep that up, sweetheart, and I'll get jealous.

Forgot, didn't you? I'm a doctor.

Steady hands come with the job.

Doctor, the scary part is right here.

You know better than anyone where to hit to drop a man instantly.

What's this?

Same name, spotless new background.

The hospital's yours to get started.

Something tells me you'll need it.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Darling, this is the best gift anybody has ever given me.

Thank you.

But, you know, that old bastard who gave you trouble before, I have to deal with

him, so... Don't worry about me. I'm your student, remember?

I can handle this one on my own.

Shall we get started, then?

Miss where to downtown Halloway private hospital

Your new backgrounds in here along with the exact prescriptions learn it

all Yes, ma'am once you've got it down I'll get you inside vain manner the

sooner the better

Engagement still stands. Roman and Vivian's wedding is already in the

works.

I need to move faster.

Roman!

Look at yourself!

You have let one woman reduce you to this!

I'm hiring a new personal doctor to get you back into a routine. Don't fight me

on this!

I don't need a new doctor. Just leave me alone for a while, please.

I said stop fighting me, Roman.

Cross me on this, and you can kiss the inheritance goodbye.

Don't worry.

Leave Roman to me. He'll be fine by the wedding.

Pull it together, you pathetic mess.

Don't ruin my wedding.

Remember, keep your head down, do the job, and stick to the plan.

Understood.

Fuck off. Who let you in here? I don't need you.

So I let it burn

Who taught you to do

that?

What? Answer me.

Is Mia alive?

Where is she?

Mia? I don't know anyone named Mia.

I'm just doing my job.

Get out!

Check everything.

His education, his family, every patient he's treated. I want his whole life laid

out.

Yes, sir.

Fuck. What the hell is going on?

Sir, school records, his licenses, his address, his tax filings, it all checks

out. And his patients?

None of his patients has any connection to Mia.

His colleagues don't know of any ties to the Coles either.

Who owns the hospital?

It's a private hospital downtown.

Open less than a year.

It's registered to a foreign investor who lives overseas.

Three days. I gave you three days.

And all you bring back is one line. This man is clean.

But he is clean, sir.

Sir, your father was clear. No more trouble before the wedding. That

technique wasn't a coincidence.

I'm not an idiot. Sir, doctors use similar techniques.

She treated me with those hands for five years, Bennett.

I know her touch.

Leave the car. I'll go myself.

Bennett.

He's in quite a hurry.

Where is he off to?

Downtown, miss.

To see who?

A doctor.

Since when does the Vane family care so much about doctors?

The new personal doctor.

Mr. Vane saw him alone last night and told me to check his background.

And what did you find?

He's clean.

And?

I can't say, miss.

I see. You can go.

Who on earth could have you this rattled?

No obituary, no announcement of a new heir.

Nobody keeps a seat warm for a dead woman for a whole year.

Roman, what is it you really suspect?

Or should I say, what have you found?

Mia might not be dead, right?

Who said you could touch those?

Call this my apology.

The Kohls haven't named a new heir in a year. Maybe their current one isn't dead

either.

I have a proposal.

You and I work together and get to the bottom of this.

What, are you scared?

I just don't know what I'm hoping to find.

Listen to me. If they really are alive, that is a good thing. At least you still

have a chance to turn this around. If Mia's alive, you can get her back.

This time, make sure she can't get away.

So we work together.

We move first and take Mia out. I'll deal with Alexandra.

No.

Don't threaten me, Roman.

If she's alive, she's already planted someone in your house. And you're still

protecting her?

I said no.

Are you going to wait until there's a knife at your stroke before you move?

Roman, you're a coward.

Your father was right. The vain name is wasted on you.

We can do this together.

One condition.

You don't touch Mia.

And what makes you think you get to set terms?

Do you even know where to find the Kohls?

What they own in this city?

Where they operate?

Could you find any of it without me?

Vivian, you're nothing.

Without me, you wouldn't even know where to start.

Fine.

Have it your way.

We're both getting what we want.

It's me.

Ask my uncle something for me. And make it quick.

No problem.

This past year, who has really been running things for the Coles?

I want a name.

Understood, miss.

If that bitch Mia really is alive, the second she surfaces, you come to me

first. What about Mr. Roman?

Idiot! You do what I tell you.

Look at the state he's in.

Can you guess what he would do if he saw that face?

Don't disappoint me, Mia.

I'm not done playing with you yet.

The doctor who made a house call to Vane Manor last week. Get him down here. Do

you have an appointment, sir? No. I'm sorry. He handed in his resignation last

Friday and he's already gone.

His personnel file.

Get it for me. That needs the director's approval.

The director is abroad and won't be back for a month.

These are the records available to the public, sir.

Address? Already checked, sir. It was a rental. The lease was up last week and

he cleared the place out.

Last week?

Tell whoever's in charge I'll be expecting a call. I'll keep my phone on.

Sir, this is a private hospital.

Roman? What's he doing here?

Mia?

It's you, isn't it?

Mia!

Hey,

no running in the hospital!

What? Come back!

Sorry, I'll help you.

Do you have an appointment, sir? If not, please go to the front desk.

You.

Watch me, Roman.

I'll deal with Mia my way.

Your rules mean nothing to me.

Sorry. Wrong room.

Thanks, Dinah. I owe you one.

He saw you, Mia. That was no mistake.

He knows.

You've landed?

Stay put, I'm coming to get you.

Come here sweetheart.

Let me look at you.

Everything settled back home?

The old guard all signed.

Mark got away, but without the family behind him, he's nothing.

Alexandra, as long as the man is breathing, he's a problem.

Look at you.

One year.

And my little kitten has grown claws.

Fine. Your call.

I'll keep eyes on him around the clock.

But before that, there's something more important.

What is it?

I want to hear you say my name.

All night.

Until you've lost your voice.

Wait, we need to talk.

Roman's suspicious.

He came to the hospital today. He almost caught me.

So we move the plan up?

I'm taking charge of the plan.

This time, follow my lead.

With pleasure, boss.

Out there, you point and I fire.

But in here, it was me.

Mr. Krogh, I have information.

Let me live and it's yours.

The Kohls have spent the past month moving men and supplies.

They're about to make a big move.

Alexandra Cole.

Still alive?

Good. The dead are worth nothing. The living, though, have a price.

My dear niece, your Uncle Silamus has a very special gift for you.

My uncle just got word.

Both of them.

They're alive.

And my guess is they're planning something big.

I owe her.

If she really is coming for me, then I'll take it.

We're out in the open. They're hiding in the dark, aiming at us.

If you want to wait for a bullet, fine.

Leave me out of it.

We need to draw them out.

And how do we do that?

Move the wedding up.

My bet is that's the day they're counting on.

So don't give them time to get ready.

As for the rest, my uncle's people will take care of them.

Clever. Even if we lose this bet, you don't. You get the ring, and the Vane

family picks up your family's tab.

Fine. If it's not her, I don't care who I marry.

You weren't this devoted back when you threw her out like garbage.

Tell me when you've set the date, and don't keep your bride waiting.

You win, Mia.

I regret everything.

Move the wedding to next Saturday.

Send out the venue details and guest list today.

Fine. Her family's broke, but their name still counts for something.

It's a good match.

There's one more thing.

Mia.

She's dead.

There's nothing to talk about.

You know she isn't dead.

Yes.

But she doesn't know anything.

She barely escaped death once.

She won't come back for more.

And even if she does, she can't touch us.

Remember this, son.

Feelings. are a weakness.

I went soft once, and Mia's father nearly got me into trouble.

You want to sit in this chair one day?

Then you can't have a weak spot.

Mia's father took a bullet for you.

What do you mean he got you into trouble?

You'll understand once you're the one sitting in this chair.

Twenty years, Ethan.

Where on earth did you hide it?

The wedding's been moved up. Next Saturday, St. Mary's Church. The

invitations went out this afternoon.

Moved up by two weeks?

This isn't a wedding.

It's bait.

My guess?

That dog, Mark, went crawling to Silas.

Then we stopped playing nice and hit them head on? No.

We'd be walking into a death trap.

Security will be tighter than ever that day.

The Vane wedding is putting medical support out to bid.

Halloway Private Hospital submits one, and we walk in right under their noses.

Using his own wedding to move our people in.

I like it.

The bid needs the original list of Vane business partners.

Before we strike, I need to cut away their support.

Where's the list?

The study in the main house.

In the safe.

I'll send someone.

No. We're running out of time.

I'm going myself.

I could walk every hallway in that house with my eyes closed.

3... 2...

East wing hallway all clear

Mia

my darling girl if you're reading this I never got to give it to you

myself The head of the family's been making some strange moves lately.

I've seen things I wasn't supposed to see I've hidden the evidence in the

carousel. If anything happens to me, go there and find it.

Something you were never meant to see?

How did it go?

My father saw something he wasn't supposed to.

Now I know how Everett got to the top.

So it was never an accident!

Everett set the whole thing up. He killed my father, then played the

victim.

And he had me sign that contract all for my own good.

He wasn't repaying a debt, Alexandra.

He was keeping me prisoner!

Five years serving the bastard!

Everett. Those old men of the Vane family.

I can end all of them tonight.

No.

I'm settling the score myself.

I'm with you.

It was enough.

What now?

Get the men, guns, and cars ready.

I'll handle the medical contract and get the people inside on our side.

I'm not asking any of you to do anything.

On the wedding day,

You pick your side.

Southgate, all clear.

Belltower, all clear.

If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be joined, speak

now or forever hold your speech.

The front gate is down! We have a convoy! Repeat, a convoy is coming

through!

Mia.

Sorry we're late.

Actually, you're right on time. Better than I expected.

Alexandra Cole.

Your father and I used to drink together.

Shame old friendships don't change the rules.

I told you you'd never hold on to power. Why should the Coles answer to a woman?

You were right, sweetheart.

Should have finished him when we had the chance.

Uncle, the biker is yours. But Alexandra, leave her to me.

Lay a finger on her and see what happens.

Me has changed.

And not just her face.

Stop drooling, you fucking loser.

Vivian, I'll take my time settling. But when it comes to her, I don't give an

inch.

Vivian, are you serious? If I were your uncle, I'd be ashamed.

Fine. You people forced my hand.

Then let me show you my rules.

I don't hurt my own people. I'm with Alexandra, and I'm a doctor.

Somebody help him!

Press here.

Lift him. Get him to the medical van in the side yard. Move!

You owe me your life now.

Don't waste it.

All Halloway teams, get the wounded into the vans, both sides. Critical cases

first.

You were saying something about who should be in charge?

The Cole family will never accept you.

Time's up, Nina.

Die.

All you ever do is drag me down!

Mia!

Mia, you... I'm okay.

I'm wearing a vest.

All these people are here for you, sweetheart.

Put on a vest.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Fuck.

Every Coleman in here, clear this room.

The turf, the men, the books.

From this day on, all of it belongs to the Cole family.

Stand with me, or die with him.

Choose.

Take her away.

Mia gets to decide what happens to her.

Fuck! Let go of me, you bitches!

Fuck you all!

I'm sorry, Mia.

One more for the medical van in the side yard.

He doesn't get to die that easy.

Well, well.

Look at the show you two put on for me.

Enough.

A runaway doctor and an orphan who can barely control her own mob.

You think you can take down the Vanes?

I'm not here to bring down the Vane family.

I'm here to collect what my father is owed.

Ethan Halloway.

Your personal physicians.

The man who took a bullet for you.

My God.

Did he really say that?

So.

Some old letter with no proof of where it came from. That proves nothing.

Step aside, Nia.

One bullet.

That's all it takes.

Recognize it?

It was my father's.

Forgot?

Doesn't matter.

My father knew he was going to die, so he recorded this.

Five years I've been hunting for that, and you had it?

Ethan knows too much.

Make it clean.

Make it look like an accident.

Don't let him come back alive.

God, that's Everett's voice.

My God, did he really say that?

That recording is a fake!

Guards, open fire!

You think you're protecting the family?

Look at the men who came before you. Marcus, dead in a car accident three

years ago.

Daniels, disappeared two years ago. Not one person who has done his dirty work

has lasted five years!

Too slow, old man.

Nia, how dare you?

Your father is dead, and the Vane family kept you safe for five years.

Protected me?

You kept me as your pet so you could pretend your hands were clean.

Roman couldn't have done any of it without your blessing!

Everett, we've known each other 40 years. This is the last time I'll ever

call you by your name. No.

No, no, no, don't go!

The Vane family can't lose you.

My father spent 20 years protecting this family. It cost him his life.

And now, in front of all of you, I'm collecting what you owe him.

Sir, the wound hasn't... The board can't wait.

Neither can the bank.

The Vane family isn't finished.

Not while I'm still breathing.

Has she been here?

No. I don't blame her. I deserve all of this.

What about Vivian?

Why haven't we heard anything?

On the wedding day, Miss Cole's people took her away. After that, no one has

seen her since.

Ruthless. She protects her own.

Mia chose her.

It was always going to be her.

Have me discharged.

I'm tired.

I want to go home.

Come here.

That's it for tonight.

What's wrong?

We've got something important tomorrow.

You'll need your rest.

Important? Last time you said that, I ended up pinned to the kitchen island.

This time is different.

I mean it.

Fine. Whatever you say.

Patience, sweetheart.

After tomorrow, you won't be getting out of bed for a while.

Alexandra Cole!

Kidnapping me?

You know there's a price for that.

Keep them closed.

Five more steps.

This is the place.

Yeah. The place we almost drowned together.

When I was pulling you up through that water, all I could think was, if we make

it to shore.

If we make it to shore, I'm going to marry you.

I practiced all the way here and now I've forgotten every word.

I'm no good at speeches.

But I know this.

The sea couldn't take you from me.

And neither will anyone else.

Marry me, Mia.

You practiced the whole way and that's all you've got?

It worked, didn't it? You're crying.

You are going to be the death of me.

He gave me 30 days to get out of his life She gave me 30 days to find my way

back to myself
