Transcript
00:00My wife thinks I am a loser and a cheater.
00:03Maybe if you didn't flirt with the nurse while I was in labor!
00:06My marriage is failing, but I can become a billionaire.
00:11Transfer one and a half million dollars to the account I gave you earlier.
00:15Would I take the deal or lose everything forever?
00:18I will throw you in jail, Mr. Johnson.
00:24Jenny, wait! Jenny!
00:27Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, please!
00:29Don't throw away all the wonderful years we spent together.
00:31We can make this work!
00:32No!
00:33Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who the hell are you?
00:36I'm her husband. And who the hell are you?
00:39I'm the one who's been keeping your ex-wife's *** on.
00:44Hi, actually.
00:46I was working overtime, I was taking multiple jobs,
00:49I took out several loans, all for you!
00:53You wanted designer bags, you wanted a brand new car,
00:56you wanted a big fancy house, you wanted, well, everything!
00:59And I was giving it to you, all the while you were ****** with some other guy?
01:03I think somebody needs to be taught some manners.
01:05Yeah?
01:07I'll end you!
01:08I wouldn't recommend doing that, unless you want to add to the legal case
01:11that you're an aggressive, unstable psychopath who attacks innocent people.
01:16I can't believe that I've been living with such a monster all this time.
01:19Surprise, surprise.
01:20I thought you loved me, Jenny.
01:22Why do you need to take our son away from me?
01:24You don't even consider him to be our son!
01:28Just let me take care of him. I love him!
01:30And give up my alimony? No, sir!
01:32I'm going to squeeze every penny out of you.
01:35Do you know how hard it is to be a single mom,
01:37raising a child in this big, expensive world?
01:41You ruined this marriage, and now I will ruin your entire life.
01:48You can't do this!
01:51Bye, loser.
01:55Andrew cursed the day they did the DNA test.
01:57They were both surprised by the blood results of his so-called son.
02:01But he loved him immensely.
02:03He couldn't help wondering where his actual son really was.
02:11Shortly after Andrew's wife ran out on him, his life fell apart.
02:16Jenny took everything from him.
02:18The car, the house, all the money.
02:23Even his job was at risk due to all the lawsuits.
02:28Broke and desperate, Andrew was hanging on to life by a thread.
02:42Oh, my God.
02:45I'm terribly sorry. My driver wasn't paying attention.
02:49Are you okay?
02:55I'll pay for whatever damages I've caused you.
03:02Money is not an issue.
03:04Thank you, but I think I'm okay.
03:10We must have different perceptions of what is okay.
03:15Oh.
03:18Although dizzy, he was completely smitten.
03:22She was wearing a strange ring, and Andrew felt uncomfortable in its presence.
03:35So, what's your name?
03:38Andrew. Andrew Johnson.
03:42All right, Andrew Johnson.
03:46I want you to have this.
03:56I know the best doctors in the city.
04:00So, just give me a call, and I can have them check you as soon as you need.
04:07This can be a lifeline.
04:11So, don't hesitate.
04:15You don't need to call me.
04:19Shit.
04:21I'm very late for a meeting. Sorry.
04:26Call me, Andrew.
04:31The Browns were one of the richest families in the city,
04:34and Carolyn was the sole heir of their vast fortune.
04:38Although only 27 years old, she was the CEO of Brown Enterprises
04:42and one of the most eligible bachelorettes in the city.
04:45I'm sorry.
04:53I own half of this apartment, but I've already filed a lawsuit to obtain your half as well.
04:59You have one week to vacate. Good luck.
05:03How could you?
05:05Andrew's world was falling further apart.
05:11We've received information regarding an ongoing lawsuit.
05:13The reputation of our employees is critically important to us.
05:17You are terminated. Effective immediately.
05:20He was already burdened with a pile of debts, the loss of his son and his marriage.
05:25Now, he was unemployed. Soon, his house would be taken from him.
05:30I have nothing left to lose. She took everything from me.
05:43Andrew didn't know what to do. He didn't have relatives or friends who could help him.
05:48The only thing to do was to call Carolyn.
06:05I must confess, I was waiting for your call.
06:09What is it, Andrew? Do you need a check-up?
06:12No, Ms. Brown. I'm fine physically.
06:16But I must say, I'm in serious financial trouble.
06:21I have no job, no money, and I'm nearing homelessness.
06:28I see.
06:30I was wondering if maybe you could help me?
06:34Help you with your debt?
06:35Help you with your debt?
06:40Is that what you're asking?
06:43If yes, then...
06:45You know that I can clear it all in one phone call.
06:52That won't be necessary. I'm only asking for a job, maybe at your company?
06:58At your company?
07:04Ms. Brown?
07:06Consider it done.
07:08Really? Wow. You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you so much.
07:14But I do have a favor to ask. All I want is for you to...
07:21Is for me to...
07:24I want you to marry me.
07:25What?
07:27With all due respect, Ms. Brown, this isn't just a simple request.
07:31Sure it is.
07:34I'm going to send my driver over to pick you up.
07:38I'm waiting for you in my office and we'll discuss all the details.
07:47Andrew couldn't believe what he had heard.
07:50Who was this woman and why would she want to marry a man she had just met?
07:56Ms. Brown?
08:00Do you think my hair is my most interesting asset, Andrew?
08:07Call me Caroline.
08:13You're not a client.
08:16My apologies. I didn't mean to...
08:19It's okay to look, Andrew. I took pride in my appearance. Please take a seat.
08:32Relax. Now we can discuss all the details.
08:37Firstly, I'm going to transfer one and a half million dollars to your bank account.
08:42Please tell me if you need more.
08:45Caroline, absolutely not.
08:47Caroline, absolutely not.
08:50That's a lot of money. It's life-changing even.
08:54All I needed was help with a few debts and I'm willing to work for it.
08:58Is there a problem with me to give my fiancé a mere 1.5 million dollars?
09:09It is hardly an inconvenience for me.
09:12Caroline, no. I would not be comfortable with you...
09:14What if you consider it a dowry?
09:19If it would make you more comfortable.
09:22Look, I genuinely don't understand what's happening here.
09:27But just to be clear, I'm not going to sue you for the collision or anything, okay?
09:32I know. That's why I like you.
09:35But do you like me this much?
09:38Caroline, isn't marrying me kind of...
09:40Isn't marrying me kind of...
09:42Out of the blue?
09:50Out of the blue?
09:53Do I look like someone who does things without thinking?
09:57Do I seem impulsive to you?
10:00I mean, who am I to you anyway?
10:03So you're suggesting I'm unfit for you?
10:07No, I'm not saying that.
10:10Of course not.
10:12It's just that it's so sudden and hard to believe.
10:16It feels like there's a catch.
10:19So I'm a liar now?
10:22Miss Brown...
10:24Caroline, look, we're strangers to each other, okay?
10:28I'm just an unemployed man who has nothing to offer to someone as important as you.
10:33How can you trust me?
10:36You know what?
10:40You're right.
10:44Leave.
10:49Leave?
10:52Yes.
10:54If it's not the life you want, then leave.
10:59Alright.
11:01What were Caroline's true intentions?
11:04Why all of a sudden did she want to marry Andrew?
11:10Caroline, I'm sorry.
11:13Truly, it's nothing against you.
11:16And clearly you're a catch.
11:19Maybe in another life?
11:21Maybe in another life?
11:29Andrew didn't know yet that he had fallen into a trap from which he couldn't escape.
11:34What's going on?
11:40Because no one had ever refused Caroline.
11:43Wow.
11:48You are different, Andrew.
11:52And I like it about you.
11:57Who am I to you?
12:01Yeah.
12:04The heart wants what it wants.
12:21I'm not easily dismissed, boy.
12:37Yes, ma'am?
12:39Transfer one and a half million dollars to the account I gave you earlier.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Transfer one and a half million dollars to the account I gave you earlier.
12:50Yeah.
12:52Andrew Johnson.
12:54Also, contact an event planner and call the tabloids.
13:01New York is about to see how well the Browns can throw an engagement party.
13:06And who's getting engaged, ma'am?
13:09Myself.
13:11Caroline Brown and Andrew Johnson.
13:15Yes, ma'am.
13:23Hi, I'm sorry for that.
13:25Hello. Yes, of course. I'm so happy to help you with that.
13:29You're welcome.
13:31Hey, is Susan there?
13:33Wait over there.
13:34Hello?
13:40Daughter of Brown family says she has finally found a partner whose identity remains unknown.
13:47She's already found a replacement.
13:50That was fast.
13:52Without money to live on, Andrew's last hope was to see if the bank would extend him a line of credit.
14:01Susan, may I come in?
14:03Andrew! I figured I'd be seeing you soon.
14:09I know. I know. I didn't clear my bills.
14:13I don't have enough money. I'm sorry.
14:16But I have a plan.
14:18No kidding. And I'm sure you do.
14:21What do you mean?
14:23You know, I thought you'd come in here bragging about the good news this morning.
14:29Oh, look at you, pretending to be sad.
14:33Oh, you're going to go full method on me, aren't you?
14:36Susan, I just came here to ask you for another credit card.
14:40Well, of course you are. A platinum one, I assume.
14:43With your new attained fortune, you could have any card you want.
14:47No. What?
14:49Wait, I'm confused.
14:51What are you talking about?
14:53You know, you should really get into acting.
14:57Well, maybe now you can, now that money and time aren't going to be an issue.
15:01Oh, and just so you know, all your debts have been cleared.
15:05And a new card has already been set up for you.
15:07Susan, what are you talking about?
15:10Okay, you can drop the act now. It's getting a little tiring.
15:14One and a half million has been deposited into your account.
15:18I'm unemployed, almost homeless. This can't be my...
15:22It's true. The money's in your account. See?
15:25The transfer came from a brown corp.
15:28It has been checked twice.
15:29Everything is legitimate.
15:32Can't you at least take this win?
15:35This must be Karen's way of trying to manipulate me to marry her.
15:40What was that?
15:42No, nothing. Look, I'm sorry. I can't take that amount.
15:45Can you just send it back to them?
15:47I can't do that.
15:49Unless you have their bank account information.
15:52Well, I mean, don't you have it?
15:54Unfortunately, you do need to provide that information to us.
15:58But honestly, I have to say, it's interesting.
16:03What could you have possibly done to receive such a fortune?
16:08Are you the mystery fiancé from the tabloids?
16:11How did you manage that?
16:13Excuse me, Susan. I have to make a call.
16:23Andrew.
16:24Karen, what the hell is going on?
16:26I told you I don't want this money.
16:28And I can't marry you.
16:30Andrew, is that you? Please help!
16:32Enough! I won't be manipulated like this. Not again!
16:35Andrew, please!
16:37Karen, what's going on? Is everything okay?
16:40The ring! The ring! It's burning!
16:42You've got the fire! Please!
16:44Karen? Hello?
16:47What is the mystery behind the ring?
16:50What causes the ring to glow when Karen touches Andrew?
16:54Why does Carolyn want to marry Andrew?
16:57I want you to marry me.
16:59Is she really in trouble? Or is she setting a trap for Andrew?
17:02What will Andrew's ex-wife do when she finds out about this million-dollar marriage deal?
