I don't do relationships. So that's the real reason why you're the line. You're just surrounded

by a bunch of women. No! Kara, so you're gonna work for me. You'll earn my protection. So,

you don't run a gang? Why, do we look like bad people? Sometimes good people do bad things.

Wait! I just can't. Why? What is it? You just wouldn't understand. Then explain! Leo. Leo,

I want you to take me. I'm yours. I'm yours if you want me. You can't have Zach without

all of this? No. Let's try. Give me a safe word. I have a-

[screams]

Kara, you think you can just run away from me? Charlie, please let me break up with you.

I can't do this anymore. I gave you everything. You locked me in your apartment for three

months. Not once. Because I love you, Kara. I had to keep you safe. I provided for you,

didn't I? We were so good and you're ruining it. Please look. Charlie, I'll pay you back.

Just please let me go. Pay you back? How can you pay back someone's love? Get off of me!

No, Kara. Come back home. No! Hey, asshole. She said no. Who the hell are you? I'm her

new man. I'm her new man. You're her man. You're telling me Kara cheated on me with

a low class scumbag like you? Yep. Come here. If you ever come near Kara again, I will beat

your ass. You're going to regret this. Goodbye. Damn it. I forgot my favorite jacket. Thank

you. So much. Glad I could help. Who are you? Who are you? I'm Leo. Leo Stryker. Kara Bellini.

How did you know that I needed help? Alright. Help the boys get started on the custom bikes.

I've got to run by the warehouses and find some numbers. Sir, the numbers will be there

tomorrow. Seriously, take tonight. Go out. Have fun. Get a date. At this rate, you're

going to die alone. Jesus. I'm not alone, man. Look, you, the boys, the family, that's

all I need. Oh, God. Well, the family and fast track. Straight people. You hear that?

Yes. You're not going over there. Yeah, I am. Sir. How can I ever thank you? Well, you

know what? At least let me give you a ride home. Just so I know you're safe. He looks

like he's in a gang, but he just saved my life. What do you say? I don't bite. I promise.

Fine. But I'm going home. Absolutely. Shit. Oh, you good? Yeah, I'm fine. Kara, Kara,

Kara. Hey, hey, hey. God damn it. Okay. Easy does it. There we go. Just another Thursday.

No, sir, you're bringing her inside? Jessica's going to freak out. Okay, Jessica is on my

snurf. And Karen is my help. Simple as that. It's in the hotel. It's the hotel. Just give

me all your money and we won't have a problem. Roll it. I'm ready. Just pass it over. Give

me the money. You're next. I'm ready. Go. Just go. Fuck. I'm going to kill you. Oh,

yeah. I'd like to see. Oh my God. This is a gang. Leo Stryker brought me back here to

his gang. I got to get out of here. But it's not in your time. He's going to let someone

die. Kara, Kara, where are you going? I didn't see anything. I swear. Look, I don't even

know you. I can forget that this whole thing even happened. What are you talking about?

I'm sorry. We know you were sleeping, right? Remember that? Say sorry. Sorry. Guys can

get a little bit rowdy when we play our games. But let's go somewhere quiet for a second.

You guys. No one take my property. I call it property. No way. That's not how it works.

So, wait. You don't run a gang? I can promise you I don't. Why? Do we look like bad people?

Well, sometimes good people do bad things. Is that what you say about your boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. And you know what? We

don't have to talk about that if you don't want to. Hey. Thought I'd just let you guys

know Chef Jose has made his famous pollo popular. And you are going to hate your life if you

miss it. You know what? You guys go ahead. I probably should just get back home. My sister

is probably worried about me. My phone has been dead this whole time. Actually, we're

going to eat out if that's okay. Let me get you some lunch and then you can totally go

home. Okay? Fine. One meal. And which car would you like tonight, sir? The Ferrari perhaps?

Maybe one of the Lambos? You haven't even been in the Aston Martin. Girl, he bought

that car three months ago and has been in it none times. None. I'm just going to take

you, Jean. I don't want to cause you. Very good. Find Charlie and take care of him. And

keep her around until you do. Yes, sir. Coming? You got reservations at the kitchen? That's

impossible. Is it? How did you? I guess I just have connections. It might be unclear

to certain groups of people, but we have a dress code at the kitchen. Do you even have

reservations? Nope. Reservations only. And if you plan to come back, make sure she dresses

appropriately. What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Honey, what's right with what you're

wearing? I'm sorry, is this how you speak to your customers? You're not my customer.

It's pretty obvious you're just a clout chaser with a loser boyfriend. Okay. Oh. Okay. Can

I speak to your manager, please? Look, Leo, it's fine. Let's just find somewhere else

to go. Mr. Stryker, I can't believe you took the time to come today. What an absolute honor.

I don't think your hostess thinks so. Do you not know who this is? This is Leo Stryker.

Leo Stryker? Yes. As in a legal shadow? Yes. I'm so sorry, Mr. Stryker. It's okay. Please

don't touch her. Uh, Stephen, is our spot available? I'm sorry, I'm not sure if you

know who this is. Uh, Stephen, is our spot available? Of course. You know it's always

reserved for the lion. Right this way. Oh, and you? You're fired. I'm impressed. You

still think I'm a good guy who does bad things? Are you? I try to do good things. So is that

why you saved me? Yeah, but that's actually not why we're here right now. So why are we

here? What the hell? So why are we here? What the hell? Jessica! So this is why you skipped

lunch? To be with this stray? You haven't even brought me here. Jessica. Me! You've

got five seconds to leave before things get ugly. You're choosing a stray over... Stop

calling me a stray! I am so sorry. I'll get Stephen to get us some bags. Don't worry about

it. I'm just gonna go. Kara, wait! Do not follow me. Kara! Kara, hey, wait. Wait, wait,

wait. Please let me explain. There's nothing to explain. Look, I don't know you, and you

don't know me. Thank you for trying to make me feel better, but I just really want to

go home. Wait, wait. Wait here. It's cold. At least let me take you home. At least let

me take you home. Well, we're here. Well, I guess we are. You are a good person, Leo

Stryker. Whoever you are. Kara, wait! My favorite jacket.

Hey, Jay, did you find Charlie? Hey, Jay, did you find Charlie? Not yet, boss. Shit.

Alright. Well, I lost the mouse, but the cat's still on the chase. Find him. ASAP.

Kara, where the hell have you been? I called you 20 times. I'm so sorry. It's such a long

story, but he found me again. Who? Crazy Charlie? Yeah, I don't know how. I didn't tell anybody

that I was moving here. Well, are you okay? How did you get rid of him? I'm sorry, I just

need a second. You know, I definitely should have listened to you. I should have gone to

the cops. Kara, I'm really sorry. If I had started working earlier, then you wouldn't

have had to support me. And you would have been able to leave that abusive psycho a long

time ago. Stop, that's nonsense. I'm supposed to take care of my little sister. It's us

against the world, right? Us against the world. I love you. Now, I've got to get ready for

a pretty big job interview tomorrow. What job interview? It's just some assistant secretary

to the CEO of this custom car company. I probably won't even get the job. Yes, you will. And

you know what? That CEO is going to be so lucky to have you.

Lyon, I am so sorry. I did not mean to piss you off. Please don't touch me. Look, I know

that you still love me. Jess, that was two years ago. And I never loved you. What? I

never thought I'd even fall in love at all. But... Look, that was strike two. Play any

more tricks again, and you're leaving. Are we clear? Yes, sir. Thank you.

[Music]

Um, Svetlana and Madison. Cassie's ready for you.

Excuse me, um, I have an interview at 2pm, and it's 2.45.

Guys, I said real people and no more bodies.

You. What's your name? Uh, Kara Bellini. I'm sorry, do you know where the receptionist

is? Who, Jessica? She's at the mansion more than she is here. Jessica, what a coincidence.

Huh. Come with me. I do have an interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the interview.

Hey, we got another model for you. What did I say about models?

It's you.

What are you doing here? What am I doing? In my office? Your office. Your office.

Bill Stryker. This is my company. But what are you doing here? Well, she is the model

you've been looking for. Fresh face, sweet and kind of. And clearly not a model. I'm

here for the assistant to the CEO position. Yeah, you know what? Let's get a couple shots

of her on the wall. Can you take off your jacket? Sorry, this is not the job that I

applied for. Yeah, great. Now pose. Sorry, I've never done any of this kind of work before.

Could you turn to your side just a little bit?

Sorry. Hey, put these on. Face me. Look, I'm here to interview for an assistant position.

I was out there waiting for 45 minutes. If this is how you guys treat your people, then

I'm sorry. I don't want to work for your company.

Then I'm sorry. I don't want to work for your company.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Fair enough. I'll have Jay draft you a proper contract. Let's hold off on the photoshoot

for now. But we need to get these stills out by the end of the day. You know, last time

I checked, it's my name that's on the wall. That says lion.

Well, you look like you're feeling better. Are you doing all right? I'm fine, thanks.

I just, I never expected to see you again. Ah, is that why you kissed me? Can we just

forget about that? Like how you took my favorite jacket and just expected me to forget about

that? I'm going to bring it back. Right.

Okay. Business. Business from here on out. Leo Stryker. It's a pleasure.

Kara. Kara Bellini. All right, Kara. I'll interview you now. What? Let's see. You've

been hurt before. You're scared, traumatized, and you're defensive against me. When I first

met you, I decided to keep you safe, but you're not going to let me do that unless we have

trust. So you're going to work for me and we'll earn each other's trust. You'll earn

my protection. Resume. 4.0 GPA, but you didn't graduate college. I had to drop out. My sister

Elsie and I both lost our parents in an accident and I just couldn't really afford both her

education and mine. So you gave up your life for your sister and committed yourself to

an abusive boyfriend for financial support. How do you know all that? I'm particular about

the people I keep around me, Kara. So look, if you want to work for me, you're going to

have to learn to trust me. No secrets. Yes, sir. Okay.

Hello? Elsie. Elsie, guess what? What? I got the job. He hired me. Oh my God, you will

never guess who the CEO is. I'm so happy for you. Hey, listen, I gotta go. I'm going to

call you right back. Didn't bother saying hi to Kara for me, love. What do you want,

Charlie? I just want to talk to your sister. You said that the last time and then you threatened

to kill me. Because she disobeyed me. You two are making me out to be some kind of monster,

but all I did was love her. And I loved you too, like a sister. I'm not going to let you

anywhere near her again. You're going to pay me back the 90K that I gave you? Or should

I ask Kara for it? Don't tell her that. She did everything to support me and if she knew

I had to borrow more from you. I have the idea right here. Convince your sister to talk to

me, alright? That's all I want. Oh, I'm so sorry. I still cannot believe that you're going

to be Leo Stryker's assistant. Line America isn't just some custom car company and Leo

Stryker was the hottest man on Forbes 30 Under 30. What happened? Did he go bankrupt or something?

No, dummy. He just turned 30. God, if I knew that you were interviewing for him, I would

have stalked you. I'm sorry. I did not mean to trigger you. I'm sorry. It's really fine.

Don't worry about it. Charlie called today looking for you. What? Yeah, relax. I didn't

tell him where you were. I just, um, I didn't know that you guys still kept in contact. No,

I mean, we don't. This was just out of the blue. Anyways, I start tomorrow, right? That's

really great. Hey, what were you going to tell me about Leo Stryker when you called

me earlier? Uh, nothing. Nevermind. I just don't know if I can trust you anymore. Deliveries

use the freight elevator. Actually, I'm Leo Stryker's new assistant. You? You're the girl

that got fired? Yep. Here is my employment contract and I start today. Okay, I don't

even care where you got this. I already hired an assistant for Leo and it's not going to

be you. Now, how can you do that? Listen, you stray. Leo and I go way back, okay? He's

not going to do anything to upset me. So if I were you, I'd find my way out of here before

you really piss me off. Look, I don't care about your feelings. I'm just here to do a

job. Just like you didn't know you were going to have dinner with him that time. Please,

drop the act. What act? Lying. Good morning. One of your strays found her way back in.

I don't know which one of your brainless dogs hired her, but... I did. What? I was the brainless

dog. Who hired her? I... but... I'm sorry, you're going to have to excuse Jess. She's

forgotten her place a little bit lately. Yes, sir. I am whatever you say goes. Good. Well,

give Kara her first assignment. I've got to make a run to the warehouses. Be nice. Of

course, sir. I'm sorry I misunderstood you. There's a really important shoot later, and

I'm going to need you to pick up some important props for it. Okay, I need three Louis Vuitton

sterling silver bracelets, two Prada Cleo bags, two Bottega Tide... I'm sorry, how am

I going to be able to afford all of this? Leo, Mr. Stryker, will reimburse you, but

they're really important, so make sure you're back by twelve. That'll give you like two

hours. And... the address is there. Anything else? An iced Americano. No room.

But you won't make it back. Just wait until he finds out that you skipped work to go shopping

and didn't hire one single model for today's shoot. I'm so good. And Janet, I need a favor.

I'm sending one of Leo's strays to you. Just take care of her. What do you want? My name

is Kara. I am Leo Stryker's new assistant, and I was sent here to pick up a few things.

Ah, right, of course. I assume there's a list. Yes. You're just going to have to wait. How

am I going to pay for all this? Jess, sweetie, I have her here. Sure. I'll make sure she

misses the shoot entirely. Don't worry. Uh, excuse me? Sorry, I'm just kind of in a little

bit of a rush here, and I do have to call a cab. Your total will be $11,705. I'm sorry,

what? What's the total? $11,705. Cash or card? If you came here to waste my time, I'm going

to have to call the police. But I'm here purchasing these on behalf of Leo Stryker. Without a

company card, I doubt it. Look, you are not leaving this store with these items until

you pay for them. I'll pay for all of it. Mr. Stryker, you can't mean that. This bimbo

claimed to do shopping on your behalf, which is obviously a blatant lie. It's the truth.

It is a lie. I never asked her to get any of this, and she's on the clock, and she's

late for the biggest shoot of the year. What? That's ridiculous. I don't know how my Jessica

let someone like this into your company. I am so terribly sorry. But we all make mistakes,

right? Kara's only mistake here was just not asking me for these things directly. If you

could bag that up and get it sent to my house, we're in a bit of a rush. Thank you. Kara,

you didn't have to lie. I don't like liars. But it wasn't a lie. It was Jessica. Jessica

was... Not here. Not now. Thank you. How did you know that I was here? Jessica told me

that you skipped work to go on a shopping spree. No, she's lying. Jessica is the one

that told me that... I trust you. Look, Jess doesn't mean any harm, but she can be a little

possessive. I'll handle it. I just need to know if you can handle this. Have you ever

been on one of these before? No. Good. Well, first time for everything. I'm going to put

this on you. All right. Stick your head in there. Three, two, one. Perfect. All right.

Hop on the back. Leo, we are so screwed. Kara's going to drag down your whole company.

What? What? I told her to secure two models for today's shoot, but instead she skipped

work and went shopping. It starts in ten minutes and we don't even have a single model. Then

why didn't you just do it? What? If you knew that we needed some models and Kara didn't

do it, then why didn't you just do it, Jess? It's you and your games, Jess, that are going

to drag this company down. It's Kara's fault. She's the one that abandoned Post. We might

actually have our model after all. Oh my God, me? I would love to model for you because

I've been practicing my duck legs. No, no, Jess. Jess, no. Not you. You. Me?

Yes. What? Oh, no, I don't. I don't. I know. You don't model. I know. But this is the

most important campaign of the entire year. And if I don't have something on Jay's desk

by the end of the day, he's going to kill me. So what do you say? Save the day with

me? I'm not tall enough. And I'm not exactly the golden boy that our brand needs either.

But, okay. Leo, our sales hang heavily on this campaign. I mean, you can't seriously

be considering... Jessica, why don't you go get us a couple coffees? What? You've done

enough damage for one day, don't you think? It's the least you can do. Hey, Leo. We really

are a gang of stars, man. So do we have our model? I don't know. Do we? Yeah. I guess

we do. Is this your first time getting your makeup done? Is it that obvious? Oh, Pearl,

you're fine. Leo Stryker obviously sees something in you and he never makes a mistake. Wow. I

look...

Wow. Never thought I'd see the day the line blush. Still not a model?

This girl, she's different. Handpicked by Mr. Stryker. Couldn't go wrong. Where's her

male model? Oh. Just get comfortable. We're gonna do this together. Grab my hand. Yeah.

What the hell?

Cara Bellini, you're the one who forced me to play dirty. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Alright, let's take ten and do a wardrobe change. Hey, you did great. I'm not sure.

Hey, you did great. Mr. Stryker, I can't express how honored I am that you're doing the shoot

yourself. No other campaign was able to convince you to model, but they all did try. Well,

we all make exceptions. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thanks. Have a good one. Sorry it took

so long. Didn't want to interrupt the shoot. Thank you, Jess. Now this is what I like to

see. My people working together in harmony. Isn't this nice? It certainly is, sir.

Okay.

Alright. Oh, that's great. Love the tension. Give me more. Come on. Give me more. Yes.

Yes. Oh, yeah. Hold that right there. That's oh. Oh, yeah.

Familiar roads. It's not familiar. It's real. Kara, you don't know what you're doing. I know

that I want to do this. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Kara. Hey, hey. Call 911. Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, Kara. Kara. Hey. Call 911. Right in the fuck now. Help. Help. Sweet dreams,

Kara. Hey, Kara. Mr. Stryker. Good news. Miss Bellini is awake and she's going to be fine.

Okay. Great. Thank you. I'll go see her now. So wait. There's something you should know.

So we found something in her system and it's a pretty high dosage of GHB. That's also known

as liquid ex... I know what GHB is. Well, yes. As someone who's seen you completely

rebrand yourself and your business the last few years and as a friend, I want to suggest

you stay away from active users. This may not look good online if this gets out. I don't

need you to tell me I ruined my business. Absolutely, sir. I'm sorry. Thank you.

Leo. You saved me. Again. You saved me. Again.

The doctor said that he found a high dosage of GHB in your system.

What? I didn't take anything. Look, Kara. I've been burnt by addicts before. I don't

tolerate that to people I hire and not in my personal life.

Leo, I didn't... I didn't take any drugs. You gotta believe me.

I'm sorry, Kara. I have to run back to the office, but Jay is here if you need anything.

I can't believe she brought drugs into the building. And I thought she was so nice. Some

people, they just really surprise you. Are you okay? I know you've had such a rough day.

Who told you about the drugs? What?

The doctor talked to me and only me. So how do you know about the drugs?

Um... Did you drug Kara?

Never! Come on, you know me. Exactly. I do know you. Which is why I strongly

suggest that you tell me the truth right now.

Okay, look, I'm sorry. But I didn't know what else to do. I wasn't just gonna watch her

steal you from me. You're fired.

What? You can't do that! We're practically family!

Exactly. Which is why you're just fired. Get out.

You are gonna regret this.

Oh, Kara, you're awake. You had a reaction to a high dose of GHB.

Elsie, get me out of this fucking place. I don't want to be near Leo ever again.

You owe Leo your life. His doctor saved you.

He thinks I'm some sort of drug addict.

He left you this. He knows that Jessica drugged you.

Elsie, you... you can't take his money. Why did you take his money?

What are you doing? We need that!

I don't want any of Leo's money. Can you please just take it home?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

[TEXT MESSAGE ALERT]

Hi, you've reached Kara Bellini. I'm not here right now, so please leave a message.

Kara, it's me again. Call me back.

I really thought that Kara was just another girl who needed saving, but I guess she's something more.

What do you want to do, boss?

What did you find on Charlie?

There's no new information to report right now.

Damn it!

[KNOCKING]

Hi.

Kara, there's someone here to see you.

Are you going to let me in?

May I come in?

Yes!

Elsie, what are you doing? This apartment is a mess.

Yeah, and Leo Stryker is hot as fuck.

Mr. Stryker, I'm going to go get you a drink, and Kara, I think you need to show him your room, because it's the most interesting part of your apartment.

Elsie.

Mr. Stryker, what would you like to drink? Mimosas? Or we don't have anything fancy.

You know what? Do you have milk?

Did you just say milk?

Yes.

And warm milk if you have it. I stopped drinking a few years ago.

Oh, that's nice. My sister doesn't drink either.

Why don't you two kittens run along, and I will fetch you your milk.

If you don't mind.

If you don't mind.

Where can I...

Oh, you can just sit on the bed.

Uh-oh.

First time over, and I'm already in your bed.

So, why are you here?

I came for my jacket.

Oh, sorry.

You can come sit. I won't bite.

Um, I would like to thank you for the other day, and I would like to pay you back for the doctor.

You don't like to feel indebted to people.

Charlie Smith funded your sister through college, and you through your parents' death.

He turned possessive. Abusive.

And you stuck around because you felt like you owed him.

How do you know all this?

How do you know all this?

Well, like I told you, I'm particular about the people I keep around me.

So you looked into me.

Well, I mean, let's see. When I met you, you were about to get killed by a psychopath, so...

Pardon me for worrying about you a little bit more than others.

Others? Like Jessica?

I fired her today, actually.

Now, she might be around the mansion for a little while longer. I can't help that, okay?

Why not? She drugged me.

I know. It's just that she's not going to come near you. I can guarantee you that.

I just, I trusted her with something that could ruin me.

And I spent years rebuilding my reputation.

Why are you so nice to me, Leo Stryker?

It's simple.

I want you to be mine, Kara Blaney.

Hey, two hot milks coming right up.

Hi!

Hi!

So good to see you. Thank you so much.

Yeah, okay.

Alright.

Alright, you guys continue doing whatever it was that y'all were doing.

We were just talking.

Right.

So you like me?

Hold on, let me get that.

Hold on.

I'm sorry.

Look, I...

I'm sorry.

Wait, wait.

I can't...

[Sighs]

Well, Mr. Stryker, you're leaving so soon.

Take care of your sister and call me if she needs anything.

Of course.

Family really is the most important thing.

I'll see you at HQ on Monday.

Oh my god, did you fuck?

[Gunshot]

Leo fucking Stryker.

That's why you don't need me anymore, huh?

You're gonna pay.

Both of you.

[Chuckles]

You are a supermodel.

I wouldn't go that far.

Oh, I would.

Your chemistry in those shots?

Fire.

We don't even get that from the professional models.

Girl, this campaign's gonna blow up.

I know it. I feel it. It's gonna happen.

I'm glad.

Are you?

Kara?

What's... what's going on with all this?

Kara?

You and the lion okay?

I told him the pictures were in.

He said he had to spend the whole day at the warehouse.

That is not like him.

He really cares about this campaign.

Why is he called the lion?

Oh.

Because he's the king of everything the light touches.

Listen, girl, okay?

We have been in some pretty shady shit for years and years and years.

Me and Leo.

And that's expected. That happens when you make it this big in this industry.

But I'll tell you something.

Leo, even though he has a history and not all of it's good,

he takes care of his people.

Once he brings you into his circle, which he has done for you,

you're family.

Okay?

He keeps us safe no matter what.

Most of us around here, we owe our lives to him.

Strange.

Well, only Jessica says that.

Bless her heart.

Her love for that man drove her crazy.

Messed her up.

It would be a really sad story if she wasn't such a bitch.

I said it.

I'm literally the closest person to Leo Stryker in this entire building.

What the fuck do you mean I can't go up?

I'm sorry, Mr. Stryker specifically said not to let you up when Miss Bellini's in.

Who cares about that stupid bitch?

Who does she think she is?

I need to get up.

Look.

Esperes.

Do not make me call Mr. Stryker.

Do you have something against Bellini?

Do you know Leo Stryker?

Who the fuck are you?

Consider me your ally.

I can help you get rid of Kara for good.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How?

I've got a plan.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I said I'm sorry.

Please don't ignore me.

I guess I'm sorry too.

I probably just misunderstood you.

It's just when you said that you wanted me to be yours, I thought...

I don't even know what I thought.

But after talking to Jay, I realized that you probably meant that you just wanted me to be your family, and then to you, family is everything.

I think...

Come here.

What? In the office? What about HR?

What HR?

Fuck HR.

I'll run this place.

Am I lying?

Leo, was... Did I do something wrong?

No. No. I... I...

Fuck!

I... I just... I just can't.

Why? What is it?

You wouldn't understand. I just... I don't... I... I don't do... relationships.

So that's the real reason why you're the line.

You're just surrounded by a bunch of women.

No! No! That's not it. You just...

You just wouldn't understand.

Then explain!

Explain!

You know, Kara, I... I... I don't think there's anything left for you to do today.

If you want to go home, I completely understand.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Fuck!

If you knew my secret, you wouldn't want me anyway.

I just don't know what he wants.

Well, it's probably him. It's not you.

Who knows? Maybe he has a small dick.

Maybe he can't get it off. It could be anything.

We'll see.

I am serious.

Oh.

Oh, I actually have to get to work.

Waiter, can we get the check, please?

I actually took care of everything.

I love Stryker Bites.

Oh.

You mind signing my copy for me?

Oh, sure.

Oh, wow.

Mm-hmm.

There you go.

It must be so cool dating Leo Stryker.

Oh, actually, we're not...

Hey, Luce.

Uh, have a good day.

Okay.

I'm probably just going to run some errands, and then I'll see you back at the house.

Okay.

Okay. Well, have fun.

I'll see you later, babe.

Bye.

She'll never love this side of you, Leo.

No one could.

Help! Somebody help!

Help! Somebody help!

Help! Oh.

Help.

Oh.

That was easy.

Grab his key card.

Okay.

Oh, I'm going to have Carabellini's entire profile within five minutes.

Don't worry.

You better have a good surprise for her when she gets home.

Oh, yeah.

You'll never see her again.

[Laughter]

[Sigh]

What is...

You thought you could get away from me.

You thought you could find someone better.

Never, never, ever!

I know you're coming with me, sweetie.

You fucking cockroach!

Leo! No!

Quit it. Quit it.

You leave my woman alone!

No, no, no, no. Shhh.

Hey.

You're cute.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. It's okay. It's okay.

Hey, hey, hey. No. Stay with me. Hey. Hey.

She's not safe until I catch that motherfucker, Charlie.

He ran off and who knows when he's coming back.

Oh my God, sir. I cannot fucking believe that Jessica would...

Shh. Shh.

[Suspenseful music]

Gather the boys. I'm calling a meeting.

Jessica has chosen to betray us.

If you fuck with one of us...

You get hunted down by all.

Jessica and Charlie Smith.

Finally.

Sir, you have worked so hard on your reputation.

Are you sure violence is the way you'd like to go?

We make exceptions.

Anyone who hurts Cara Blue,

I want them back a hundred times more.

Am I clear?

Let's go.

[Suspenseful music]

Oh my God, Cara.

Careful. You have a concussion.

How did I...

Leo carried you back.

And then he sent his men after Charlie and that Jessica bitch.

That's crazy.

Charlie. How did he...

How did he know where to find me?

That's my fault.

Hi. What happened?

I took his money.

All throughout college, what you gave me, it wasn't enough.

And I was just scared to tell you.

And, um...

When you first moved in, he threatened to go ask you for the money back.

He just said he wanted a chance to talk to you.

But I swear, I didn't know that he was going to hurt you.

So that's...

That's how he knew where to find me in the first place.

It was you.

Please forgive me, okay?

I didn't know.

And if I knew that any of this was going to happen, I wouldn't have...

It's fine.

Really.

I'm not mad.

You're not mad?

No, silly.

It's us against the world, remember?

I'm safe.

So are you.

So are you.

That's really all that matters.

Leo?

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're safe with me.

I promise.

Okay.

It's okay.

You know what?

If you're feeling better, um...

Why don't I give you a house tour?

We didn't really get a chance last time.

Sure.

Alright?

So this is the kitchen.

We have a chef 24/7 on site.

His name is Jose.

He can whip up pretty much anything you want.

And how many people live here with you?

Uh, just my closest family.

So...

13.

And by family you mean?

Chosen family.

Which you are also now a part of.

So all the facilities are fair game to you.

Uh, the home theater, the gym...

The library, the offices...

And Kara, Elsie can stay too if she wants.

Um...

My home is yours.

Leo...

I don't know how to thank you.

Just...

Stay here, stay safe.

That's it.

And what's that?

Oh, you know, that, uh...

That's my den.

Uh, no one is allowed in except for me.

And what's that?

That's my den.

Uh, no one is allowed in except for me.

Why? What's in there?

Uh, nothing.

You know, it's, uh...

It's always on a renovation and...

Yeah, don't worry about it.

Um, I do want to show you the library.

I know you're gonna love it.

So this is your room now.

Um...

There's actually sheets and towels...

And clothes in the drawer, and t-shirts.

Uh, you can help yourself to anything you want.

And...

If you're hungry, just...

Hit up Jose.

He'll take care of you.

Leo, I don't understand you.

I can't be with you, Kara.

Not in the way that you want, and...

Not in the way that you deserve.

But...

Know that I am very sorry.

And you are very special to me.

I'm tired.

Alright.

Okay.

Good night.

Kara needs safety and protection.

Not some beast like me.

[♪♪♪]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Hey, yeah, we found them.

Charlie's in the motel room with Jessica.

We're staking the place out right now.

You really need to get here.

I'm on my way.

Let's teach that motherfucker a lesson.

[♪♪♪]

Uh, that's my debt.

Uh, no one is allowed in except for me.

I can't be with you, Kara.

Not in the way that you want, and...

Not in the way that you deserve.

[♪♪♪]

[sighs]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

I thought you could stay here.

[♪♪♪]

Know what? I don't ever love you like I do.

No.

You own your entire life.

I own you, bitch!

I can't live without you, Kara.

Let's die together.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's me. It's me. It's me, Kara.

It's me. It's Leo.

You're safe. You're safe.

You're safe with me.

Charlie. Charlie was here.

Charlie was in the house.

It was a nightmare.

How do you know? How do you know that he's not--

Because I found him.

And I made sure that he's never gonna hurt you again.

Leo, um, it's not what it looks like.

A snake.

And a rat.

Please, please, look.

Charlie, he forced me. I mean, he kidnapped me.

I mean, you know how I feel.

Shut the fuck up, Jess.

How can you talk to me like that? We're family.

Family?

Don't say that fucking word to me.

We're done.

You get the fuck out of town. Don't let me see you ever again.

I know your secret, Leo Stryker.

I know the freak that you are.

I know your secret, Leo Stryker.

I know the freak that you are.

I'll tell everyone. I'll go to the press.

Your reputation that you cherish will crash and burn within minutes.

He's over here.

Mr. Stryker, we could be family too.

If you ever go near Kara again, or even breathe the same air, or fuck me, look in the same direction, I swear to God, I will kill you where you stand. Do you understand?

Yes, yes, Mr. Stryker.

Just let me go, and I swear on my mother's grave, you will never, ever see me again.

Good.

Boys, make sure he gets it.

What? Hey, no.

Whoa, guys, no!

No!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

I can't believe it's all over.

Thank you.

I can't believe it's all over.

I promised that I would keep you safe.

I know that half the world has probably said this to you, Leo, but thank you for saving me.

You're not half the world, Kara. You're...

Leo, Leo, why won't you take me? I'm yours. I'm yours if you want. I'm already yours.

I have to show you something, and I'm not gonna be able to keep it a secret any longer.

Are you ready?

No.

No?

But I trust you with my life.

Kara, please don't be scared.

What is all this?

This is the only love life that I've ever had.

This is a BDSM room.

Yes.

This is your big secret? This is what Jessica's been holding against you?

Jessica's been holding against you?

She... we... we had a relationship.

And she was one of the last people that I had a contract with.

Contract?

To clearly define the safety conditions between a dominant and a submissive.

There were no feelings involved. Until there were, and she wanted a romantic relationship, and I... I mean, I couldn't give that to her.

So, you ended the contract, but you kept her as your receptionist?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Were there others?

Yes, there were others. But...

Jessica was the last. And this was two years ago. And the NDAs, the contracts, the feelings, I mean, it just all got to be too much. It was too complicated, so I... I stopped.

So... you can't have sex, you can't date without all of this?

No.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Let's try.

Kara, I don't think you know what you're saying, okay? I mean, I've watched you, and what you've gone through. Charlie, and everything you've been through, I can't... I can't do that to you.

You could never hurt me. I want this. I'm asking you to do this.

But why?

I mean, won't this just remind you of what you've been through?

Because... I want you. I want all of you.

And if this is the only way, then I guess I'll just have to make an exception like you always do for me.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Give me a safe word.

What?

A safe word so I know exactly when to stop.

Okay.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

A dominant partner will take complete control over the submissive partner.

What you reading?

Nothing.

Now you know I hate liars.

I'm not lying. It's nothing.

You're asking to be punished again, aren't you?

Maybe.

[Music]

I told you. I want all of you.

[Music]

I have a surprise for you.

Okay. Just go straight.

And stop.

Hold.

And surprise.

Leo. Did you cook all this for me?

Yeah. Oh yeah.

No.

[Laughter]

This is all Jose.

But this is my attempt at a date. A real date.

And you know with all the negative press that Lying American is getting right now, I can only do this at home.

But I thought that...

You made an exception for me.

So I thought I could make an exception for you.

So, Karabellini.

Would you be mine?

Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?

Yes. Yes I am.

Whatever you want, Kara.

I've been yours since the day that we met.

Say that again.

I've been yours since the day that we met.

I'm sorry.
