00:00Who are you?
00:27What do you think about the room I've prepared for you?
00:32How did you leave your room?
00:33What's wrong?
00:34You couldn't take your eyes off my portrait.
00:35Now you can't handle the real thing.
00:36Open your eyes, babe.
00:37You must not enter Brandon's bedroom or study.
01:02He has very little patience, and nobody is ever allowed in there.
01:06Is that clear?
01:07Understood.
01:08Is this the boss?
01:09Madame Lenny, is it true that he's never left the house?
01:10Like he's allergic to the sun or something?
01:11Follow me.
01:12You're in luck.
01:13I'm not.
01:14Brandon has allowed you to stay in a guest room in this area.
01:42You'll start working tomorrow.
01:43But meet me in the living room in two hours, and I'll give you the grand tour.
01:48What is it, Miss Hart?
01:50I was just wondering, has he really never left the house?
01:55This will be the last time you ever ask about that.
01:58Curiosity is not welcome in this house.
02:00Focus on your job.
02:25Miss Hart, you're late.
02:27Late?
02:28But you told me to come at being early is on time,
02:31and being on time is late.
02:33Got it, I'll keep it in mind.
02:35Relax, Lenny.
02:36Don't be so hard on her.
02:38Mr. Katrakis, this is Elena Hart, the new personal chef.
02:41Elena, be sure to call him, sir.
02:43No, it's okay.
02:44Hey, Elena.
02:45It's really nice to meet you.
02:47I'm Oliver Katrakis.
02:49Hello, Mr. Katrakis.
02:50I've read about you, actually.
02:52You're Chairman's Lucenza only representative, right?
02:54Yeah, I'm Brandon's cousin.
02:56I'm also his personal assistant.
02:58So, please, come and take a seat.
03:07So your job is not gonna be very complicated,
03:10but sometimes Brandon can be pretty...
03:14So just stick to the recipes,
03:16and no room for improvisation.
03:18Do this.
03:20So he's Greek, so he loves traditional Greek dishes,
03:24but he's also open to trying other cuisines.
03:27So these are all the recipes that he loves, right?
03:29Those are all of his favorites,
03:30but you're gonna have to learn more.
03:32Well, I'm up for the challenge.
03:34Good, because right now,
03:36I have my plate full of the company,
03:37so I'm leaving Brandon in your capable hands.
03:42You can count on me, I promise.
03:47But I was just wondering, why me?
03:50I mean, I'm not exactly experienced.
03:53That's not the point.
03:55He chose you personally, so you're gonna be just fine.
03:59Will I get to meet him?
04:01I'm not for sure on that, but I think you will.
04:19What is he like?
04:20Why would he act so mysterious?
04:25Wow, that looks really good.
04:26What is that?
04:27We've got some epiola samos
04:30and some cogannas for breakfast today.
04:33You should check out the reading room when you get a chance.
04:35There's like a ton of cookbooks in there.
04:38Really?
04:39Yeah.
04:39Well, that's incredible.
04:40But if you go up there, just stay on the third floor.
04:43Don't go upstairs.
04:48Careful with that.
04:54Is this all of hers?
04:56Sir, I've made this dipping sauce for you.
04:59It's one of my specialties.
05:01Hope you enjoy it.
05:02Helene.
05:13Oh, my God.
05:14Oh, my God.
05:14Oh, my God.
05:15Oh, my God.
05:16Oh, my God.
05:17Oh, my God.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:19Oh, my God.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:21Oh, my God.
05:22Oh, my God.
05:23Oh, my God.
05:24Ms. Hart, Brandon really enjoyed the meal,
05:27but he would appreciate it
05:28if you didn't leave any little notes.
05:30But why?
05:31Didn't Mr. Katrakis ask you not to improvise?
05:34Yeah, but I did it because,
05:37didn't he also ask me to keep learning?
05:47Happy to hear that you love this dish,
05:50but the extra spices are necessary.
05:54I'm sorry.
06:20The food was delicious, Ms. Hart,
06:21but I don't think a note is necessary every time.
06:23My God, did he really reply?
06:25His handwriting is so beautiful.
06:53You were right.
06:54Glass of champagne would indeed enhance its flavor.
06:57But weren't you told not to improvise?
07:00I did it anyway.
07:02You liked it, no?
07:04You seem really happy.
07:05What's up?
07:07Mr. Katrakis, it's been a while.
07:09I've heard about those notes.
07:11So that means you two must be getting along
07:13pretty well, right?
07:17I mean, I wanted to reach out somehow.
07:19Didn't really expect him to reply, but...
07:21Well, that's good news.
07:23You know, Lenny's always really busy around the house
07:24and I need someone to fill in for me
07:26that's reliable when I'm not here.
07:28Well, honored to help.
07:29Oh, and by the way, I've already washed the jacket.
07:32Thank you so much.
07:33I'll give it back to you soon.
07:34Jacket?
07:35What jacket?
07:36What are you talking about?
07:38Nevermind.
07:40It's okay.
07:40Carry on.
07:43So it was an Oliver.
07:44Could it be Brendan?
07:46Is that even his style?
07:51This is his room.
08:21Hey.
08:22I told you.
08:25You got it.
08:39Who is it?
08:45Were you clueless
08:46or just blatantly ignoring my instructions?
08:49I was lost.
08:50I'm sorry.
08:51I know this house is enormous,
08:53bigger than you could ever imagine,
08:54but what I cannot stand is you breaking the one rule
08:57in this house that actually matters.
09:00What did I do?
09:01I didn't...
09:02Brendan told me there was an intruder in his room.
09:06So that was him.
09:09Come with me.
09:11He wants to talk to the person who invaded his privacy.
09:15This may be the first time we ever fire someone
09:18within their first month.
09:22What do you mean, fire me?
09:23Wait, I'm sorry.
09:24I didn't mean to break into his room.
09:31Is this an interrogation room?
09:40Pick it up and sit down.
09:44I said sit.
09:52Hello?
09:54Very good, Elena.
09:58How did you end up in my room?
10:00I just wanted to give back your jacket.
10:02I wanted to thank you.
10:13Are you aware that you've broken
10:16the number one rule in this house?
10:19The number one rule of my house.
10:22I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
10:24I swear, I didn't mean to.
10:27Honestly, I've even grown fond of your notes.
10:30And you've made mealtime more fun.
10:32What?
10:33Please, don't fire me.
10:35I swear it's never gonna happen again.
10:39There's something I need that only you can provide.
10:42So, if you're willing to cooperate,
10:45then maybe I will give you another chance.
10:47Yeah, yeah, anything.
10:49Good. Open the computer.
11:03Lucia?
11:04What do you want me to do?
11:06What do you want from her?
11:07Well, since you're asking, I assume that you remember her.
11:10What I want you to do is tell me where she is.
11:14I can't tell you that sort of information about Lucia.
11:18That's her privacy.
11:22Well, as far as I know,
11:23your mother has some pretty expensive medical bills.
11:26And they've increased recently.
11:28Have you been investigating me?
11:31Not exactly.
11:32But if you can provide some useful information,
11:35then I'll take care of the medical bills.
11:37And your death.
11:39That's blackmail.
11:41Miss Hart, you broke into my room
11:44and watched me taking a shower.
11:46If that is not illegal, then I don't know what is.
11:49Well, if you want an answer,
11:51you'll want to give me an explanation first.
11:53How are you two even related?
11:55Are you child she doesn't know about?
12:01Fair enough.
12:04She was close to my father.
12:07Fine. Let's make a deal.
12:10You're in no position to bargain.
12:12If you want to know about Lucia's whereabouts...
12:14Then I have my conditions.
12:16First, I get to stay here.
12:18And I want to sign a contract in person.
12:22Face-to-face, and that's a non-negotiable.
12:24Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
12:27Get the hell out of here!
12:30I don't know what you've done to our boss,
12:32but I'm utterly concerned.
12:34Nothing, really.
12:36But he needs something important.
12:39Something no one else in this world can give him but me.
12:49I don't know what you're talking about.
12:51But I'm utterly concerned.
12:53Nothing, really.
12:55But he needs something important.
12:58Are you sure you want to go in there?
13:04These are my conditions.
13:07I have to follow through.
13:09Don't worry.
13:11I'll be waiting outside here for you.
13:24Do you have the contract with you?
13:26Yeah, I took on a sign in person.
13:31No need, just leave it on the table.
13:33Brandon, what are you scared of?
13:40I'm a monster.
13:43And you won't want to see me.
13:45Monster?
13:47What are you talking about?
13:51Just forget about it, okay?
13:53Just get out of here.
13:56Just get out.
13:58Just get out.
14:00Just get out.
14:26Mr. Brandon, you're so handsome.
14:31You're actually the most good-looking guy I've ever seen.
14:36Why are you wearing a mask?
14:38Before we sign this contract, I need to confirm again.
14:41How much do you know about Lucia's whereabouts?
14:44I know them all. She's a...
14:46Compile everything that you've got and send it to me.
14:50And send it to me.
15:00I hope you won't let me down.
15:04I won't.
15:05Hey, guys. I was just thinking you must be really starving,
15:08so I whipped up a very special breakfast for you.
15:11Oliver, that's so sweet of you. Thank you.
15:14You're welcome. Enjoy.
15:21What do you think about Oliver?
15:23Oliver? He's pretty nice.
15:26He's always so patient.
15:28Everybody loves me.
15:34You're pretty nice, too.
15:36Covering me with your jacket.
15:40Why do you care about me so much?
15:46Because of your daily meals.
15:51Did Brandon give you a hard time?
15:54No, he was just a little bit cold.
15:57I've been looking after him since he was a kid.
15:59He's been locking himself in his room and refusing to interact with anyone for over ten years.
16:04Over ten years? Why?
16:07He probably believes no one would ever accept him.
16:12Here we are.
16:15Is everything at the company taken care of?
16:17Yeah. I mean, that's why I'm home. To take care of you.
16:20Forget about it.
16:22Get yourself a copy of this new document.
16:25Sure.
16:26Wait.
16:27Have the new chef come up and introduce the new chef to me.
16:30Okay.
16:31I'll be right back.
16:32Okay.
16:33Hey.
16:34Hey.
16:35Hey.
16:36Hey.
16:37Hey.
16:38Hey.
16:39Hey.
16:40Have the new chef come up and introduce the dishes in person.
16:42Okay. Will do.
16:50Come in.
16:54You asked to see me?
16:56Anything wrong with the dinner?
16:58This dish, it was over-seasoned.
17:00Use less salt next time.
17:02And this one, this was good, but the ingredients weren't fresh enough.
17:06So, next time use better suppliers.
17:08Got it.
17:09Anything else?
17:11That's it.
17:15Take that with me.
17:16Okay.
17:27Here's your breakfast.
17:33Anything else I can help you with?
17:35I was hoping to take the afternoon off and hit the spa to unwind a little bit.
17:41Yeah.
17:42Yeah.
17:43You should go. You deserve it.
17:47And I won't bother you.
17:50Just ask Lenny to find you a chauffeur.
17:52Oh, it's alright. Oliver said he could take me.
17:56Oliver.
17:58Okay.
18:01Whatever you prefer.
18:03Would you like to come with me? I've never been to a place like this.
18:07No. Not really.
18:22Welcome, madam.
18:23Oh, this is so luxurious.
18:25This is the finest spa in the town.
18:27Please follow me.
18:47Mom, are you feeling better?
18:49Much better. The doc has scheduled another surgery.
18:52How's everything at the new job?
18:54Hope the boss isn't giving you a hard time.
18:56No. Everything's fine.
18:59Remember not to burn yourself out. Take care of yourself.
19:02Don't worry, Mom.
19:20Dad, this looks incredible.
19:25I'm excited to try it out.
19:27This Mexican restaurant has got to be one of my favorite spots.
19:30It just helps me relax every time I get off work.
19:32Dad, this looks incredible.
19:35That's actually their signature dish.
19:37If you really like it, we can always come back.
19:39Yeah.
19:45Wow.
19:46This the new recipe you've been working on?
19:48Yeah. What do you think?
19:50Not bad.
19:51I had it yesterday at the restaurant Oliver took me to, and I thought it might like it.
19:58Get out.
20:01Is something wrong with the dish?
20:03I'm not a fan of sharing.
20:05Get out.
20:07Now.
20:22What happened?
20:24I tried to recreate the dish we had last night at the restaurant so Brennan could try it too,
20:28but he said he doesn't like sharing.
20:33Something funny?
20:35It has nothing to do with sharing.
20:38He's jealous.
20:40Jealous? Why?
20:42Because you got him used to having someone around,
20:44and now he's trusting people again, and he doesn't want to lose that.
20:48That's why he becomes insecure when you take a liking to someone like me.
20:52Elena, I really admire you, and not just because of how well you perform your job.
20:57You make Brandon feel alive again.
21:00I know him very well, and I think you should get to know him more yourself as well.
21:19Didn't I tell you not to come in here?
21:22I wanted to talk to you.
21:24Ms. Hart, stop.
21:26Do I have to remind you not to fall for anyone?
21:29Why?
21:30This is a place of work, not for romance.
21:33I know, but ever since I got here, I've...
21:39I know.
21:41Just leave.
21:43You know, I just wish you would get out of the house and see the world
21:46instead of locking yourself away in here.
21:48Look, that's none of your business.
22:01Why would he do that?
22:06I don't know.
22:08I don't know.
22:09I don't know.
22:17Hi, Elena.
22:18This is Dr. Cassius.
22:20He needs to know everything about your most recent interactions with Brandon.
22:24Interaction? I just had a small conversation with him.
22:28Ms. Hart, please calm down.
22:30I just need to know how Brandon is doing.
22:32Given his delicate health condition, we have to make sure he hasn't been triggered in any way.
22:38Triggered?
22:39I didn't trigger him, I swear.
22:41I was just talking to him and then I touched his hand and then suddenly...
22:47Is he alright?
22:49Can I see him?
23:09What are you doing? I told you not to come in here.
23:12I'm not leaving until you tell me the real reason.
23:16Look.
23:18Hey.
23:19A man like me isn't worth your time.
23:24Wait.
23:39Wait.
23:42Get out.
23:44Just get out!
23:45Brandon, what's wrong?
23:47Get out.
23:48Now!
23:53Please, Brandon.
23:54Brandon.
23:55Brandon.
23:56Brandon, are you okay?
23:57Brandon, it's me.
23:58Open up.
23:59Brandon.
24:03Brandon.
24:04Brandon.
24:05Brandon.
24:06Brandon.
24:08Brandon, are you okay?
24:21Do you realize you almost killed him?
24:25I just gave him a kiss.
24:27A kiss?
24:28That may mean nothing to most people, but for Brandon, it could be deadly.
24:34How is it so serious?
24:36He previously suffered physical injuries that caused him serious mental disorders.
24:44His body rejects any intimate contact. It's like an instinct.
24:48It can cause serious physical reactions.
24:51Oh my God, what have I done?
24:53I'm not so sure about your feelings for him, but if you want to be with him,
24:58either you stay here forever and accept him the way he is, or help him get better.
25:06Brandon.
25:07Enough, Cass.
25:09You don't need to share all that.
25:11You think he can keep going like this?
25:13That he's gonna wait?
25:15You can't tell me what to do.
25:17Just look at yourself.
25:19No better, no worse.
25:20Please, please don't argue.
25:22Don't argue.
25:33Elena?
25:35What's wrong? What's going on? You look exhausted.
25:40I wrote tons of notes, and I didn't respond to any.
25:45Well, hey, how about we just go and have some fun tonight?
25:48Just forget about this for a minute, because I know that Brandon would not want to see you like this.
25:52Let's just go have some fun. Don't think about it too much.
25:56Okay. Let's do it.
25:58Let's do it. Let's go.
26:05So, what exactly happened to Brandon?
26:08You know, I think maybe he should tell you himself.
26:11Do you think I'll get to see him again?
26:13I don't know. Just forget about it. Come on. Let's have a drink. Cheers.
26:18Fine.
26:26What the hell is she doing out here this late at night?
26:28Easy, man. Easy. Oliver's taking care of Elena.
26:31He's taking her home now.
26:32Oh, yeah?
26:33How do you know he's not taking advantage of her?
26:35Fight now.
26:36Stop overtaking.
26:37I'll go fight.
26:38Give me the key.
26:39No.
26:40Give me the damn key now.
26:47You want to go try to kill yourself?
26:49You can't even walk.
26:51They're downtown.
26:53I don't care if they're at the end of the earth.
27:02Make sure that you're not weighing over on your keys.
27:05Hey.
27:06Hey, man.
27:09I think I'm dreaming.
27:11I'm seeing Brandon.
27:13No, you're not dreaming.
27:14Since you're here, I'm going to leave Elena to you.
27:17You folks have a good night.
27:19Come with me.
27:32How did you leave the house?
27:34I thought you couldn't.
27:36Some people are worth making an exception for.
27:43No.
27:44It's too dangerous.
27:47How will I know if all my suffering was worth it if I don't even try?
28:02Hey.
28:03Don't worry, Elena.
28:05I was so scared.
28:07I might have hurt you.
28:09But you didn't.
28:11Come on.
28:13Let's go home.
28:22You know what this means, don't you?
28:24I do.
28:25Will you be my girlfriend?
28:27Yes.
28:32Okay.
28:43You're awake.
28:47Come with me.
28:55What is this place?
28:58This is my safe haven.
29:01After my family's tragedy, I became paranoid.
29:04Feeling I had to be in control to protect myself and those around me.
29:09So I built this shelter.
29:11Mostly so I could predict and analyze any potential threats.
29:18Brandon.
29:20You know what?
29:21I'm sick of living like that.
29:31Look, Elena.
29:32After we met, I realized I want to live a normal life.
29:37I don't want to be bound to my past.
29:39Rely on these things to protect me.
29:42Thank you for sharing that with me.
29:45Thrilled to be part of your life.
29:47Really?
29:49Really.
29:52Hey.
29:54Congratulations on taking the step.
29:58Am I supposed to thank you?
30:00Do you really think I'm oblivious to how you feel about me?
30:03We grew up together, man.
30:05Come on.
30:06You should know who matters to me.
30:08I mean, I do admire Elena.
30:10But not the way you're thinking.
30:12Relax.
30:14I'm just saying.
30:16I do admire Elena.
30:18But not the way you're thinking.
30:20Relax.
30:23Here's your follow-up treatment plan.
30:27Elena, I'm really happy for the two of you.
30:46Is this your mother?
30:48Yeah.
30:49That's the last photo I've taken of her before she died.
30:54Elena, I need to tell you something.
30:56Lucia, your PhD advisor.
30:59She was my father's mistress.
31:03What?
31:07Lucia.
31:09She doesn't look like she would hurt anybody.
31:11I know it's hard to believe, but she's likely linked to my mother's death.
31:17Is this for real?
31:18I don't know.
31:20I'm still investigating, but...
31:22After all, there was no evidence left at the scene.
31:25I just figured that you needed to know the truth.
31:29So that's why I'm here.
31:31Please, just don't blame me, okay?
31:34No, it's...
31:36I'm just gonna believe it.
31:42Oliver?
31:44Oliver, is this...
31:46This is Betty, my girlfriend.
31:49Since when did you have a girlfriend?
31:51Well, I mean, not necessarily everything needs to be run by you in advance with your permission, does it now?
31:56Get in the car, we might miss a flight.
32:02Is that your house?
32:04Yeah, that was my mother's place.
32:14Wow.
32:16This place is beautiful.
32:18Your mom must have loved it here.
32:20Yeah.
32:21Yeah, it's gorgeous.
32:24Got some bad memories from here?
32:26Wanna share them with me?
32:27I watched my mother and sister brutally murdered right in front of my eyes.
32:35I was hiding under the stairs,
32:38and I saw them fall into a pool of blood.
32:40I couldn't do anything to help.
32:42Ever since that day, I haven't been able to face anyone,
32:45trust anyone.
32:48But having you here,
32:50it's shown me that I can face my past.
32:54And now I want to show you the real me.
32:57Brendan,
32:59there's nothing for you to prove, okay?
33:02I know things have been hard for you, but please...
33:05Don't push yourself that much, okay?
33:07And plus, I've already seen the real you.
33:10Courageous, kind-hearted person.
33:25So, Oliver's still paying off his school loans.
33:27Oh, really?
33:28Yeah.
33:29Wait a second.
33:31Hi, Betty.
33:32Hi, Alaina.
33:33I found a really cool place.
33:35Do you want to check it out?
33:37One second.
33:38Betty thinks you found a really cool place,
33:40and is wondering if you want to check it out together.
33:42What do you guys think?
33:44Hey, you know what? How about you gals go ahead?
33:46Brendan and I, we've got some work-related things to sort out,
33:49so we'll just catch up later.
33:52Yeah.
33:53Yeah.
33:54Yeah, you should go.
33:56Yeah.
33:57Yeah.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Yeah.
34:01Yeah, I'll join you.
34:03The boys will join later, okay?
34:05Okay, see ya.
34:14What are you doing?
34:16I just don't want you to leave.
34:18I'll be back soon.
34:19Go get your work done.
34:24Betty's rushing me.
34:25I've got to go.
34:26See you later.
34:27Okay.
34:31Okay.
34:35So, what's your call on this?
34:40I agree to go through with the long-term treatment plan.
34:43You know what that means, right?
34:45You're not going to be seeing Alaina for a really long time.
34:47I'm aware.
34:48And when exactly are you going to tell her?
34:51I don't know. I haven't figured it out.
34:53But just give me a few days, okay?
34:57Hey.
34:58Have you guys seen my phone?
35:00I have been looking for it everywhere.
35:05Hey.
35:06Have you guys seen my phone?
35:08I have been looking for it everywhere.
35:10Did you check in your room?
35:11No.
35:12I already checked it there.
35:14Wait a minute.
35:15Did you just text Alaina?
35:16Text her what?
35:17Shit.
35:20Alaina's in danger.
35:21We've got to find her.
35:23Let's go.
35:24Let's go.
35:26Let's go.
35:30He seemed a bit off.
35:32Like he was hiding something.
35:36What's wrong?
35:37Why are we stopping?
35:38Brandon has prepared something for you.
35:40Please hold on for a moment.
35:42Brandon.
35:43Come with me.
35:46What's going on?
35:47Just come with me.
35:50So, you mean to say that the text wasn't from Betty?
35:52That's what she said.
35:53Apparently, her phone went missing.
35:55So, you're suspecting her.
35:57But, she's Oliver's...
35:59I don't think she's as simple as she seems.
36:01But, I don't want to sour their relationship.
36:04Oliver definitely has nothing to do with it.
36:15I never expected to be here with you.
36:17I want to show you something.
36:25Brandon.
36:35Brandon.
36:39Now you know what I really look like.
36:42This is why I wear the mask.
36:45You don't have anything to hide, okay?
36:48To me, you've always been perfect.
36:56Brandon.
37:17Brandon?
37:26Come on, pick up.
37:30Elena?
37:31Finally, you picked up.
37:32Where's Brandon?
37:33Can I see him?
37:37Come on, pick up.
37:40Elena?
37:41Finally, you picked up.
37:43Where's Brandon?
37:44Can I see him?
37:46Now, it's just really bad timing.
37:48Please, Oliver.
37:49Please, I just need to see him once.
37:51I need to talk to him.
37:52Please.
37:53Okay, look. Fine.
37:54There's going to be a family gathering next week.
37:56He might show up.
37:57I'll take you there, but you'd better be prepared.
38:01Yes.
38:02Yes, thank you.
38:17Elena.
38:19Surprised to see you here.
38:21Mr. Cassius.
38:22Why are you here?
38:24By the way, have you seen Brandon?
38:26I've been looking for him everywhere, and I can't really find him.
38:32Brandon!
38:38Maybe he didn't see you.
38:55Are you really sure you're going to do this to her?
38:59Look, it's the best I can do right now.
39:02The best you can do?
39:03And you know exactly how much she cares about you.
39:06You're only going to hurt her by doing this.
39:08I can't be her burden.
39:10And she deserves so much more than to be tied down by a monster like you.
39:14I don't care.
39:15I don't care.
39:16I don't care.
39:17I don't care.
39:18I don't care.
39:19I don't care.
39:20I don't care.
39:21I don't care.
39:22I don't care.
39:23She's already been tied down by a monster like me.
39:26Still always so stubborn.
39:28You know, I really hope you don't regret this.
39:42I'm sorry, Elena.
39:45Who'd he treat me like that?
39:46Brandon is about to undergo his fourteenth surgery.
39:49Fourteen?
39:50He's actually doing much worse than you may think.
39:53Why wouldn't he tell me that?
39:55Why would he try to face all of this alone?
39:57But he doesn't want you to see him at his worst.
39:59He thinks it's pathetic.
40:01Well, I'm not giving up on him.
40:03Then give both yourself and him a chance.
40:06But first, you have to get stronger yourself.
40:16Cassius.
40:18Hi.
40:19Hi.
40:21So, what is it?
40:23Well, nothing in particular.
40:25But how are you doing?
40:27I'm pretty good.
40:29Is that all?
40:35Emily, what the hell are you doing here?
40:42Brendan, it's been a while.
40:46Can we talk?
40:47There's nothing to talk about.
40:51Fine.
40:52I'm not working at the house anymore.
41:00You crossed the line, Cassius.
41:02Elena deserves to know the truth, doesn't she?
41:06Yes, Brendan.
41:07If you keep on hiding, it's only going to make things more complicated.
41:10You guys just don't get it, do you?
41:12It's more complicated than you can ever imagine.
41:15The more that you know, the more dangerous it gets.
41:18So, you are fine with Elena needing to return everything?
41:22It's the only way they'll leave her alone.
41:32Yeah, it's okay.
41:35It's okay.
41:45Please don't leave me.
41:47Okay.
41:55Please don't blame me, Elena.
42:05Elena, you can't just leave like that.
42:07Oliver, thank you for being so kind, but Brendan and I have nothing left to talk about.
42:12That's not true.
42:13Please tell him. We're done.
42:14Listen, okay, Elena, just listen to me, alright?
42:16You can't leave.
42:18Our contract's not up yet.
42:20Contract?
42:21Did you forget?
42:22The one that you asked to sign.
42:24Brendan, you already have a fiancé.
42:26Why won't you just set me free?
42:28Either way, I've already made up my mind.
42:30I'm going home and I'm taking care of my mom.
42:33I just said you can't leave.
42:35And why is that?
42:38You can just disappear without a word, but I can't even quit a job?
42:42Elena, please just give me some time.
42:45You're just like a stranger to me now.
42:47You're the one who decided to give up on us.
42:50Don't regret it.
42:56Hi, Casis.
42:57Yeah, I'm here.
42:58Should I wait inside?
43:03Outside? Okay.
43:12Is that Brendan's fiancé?
43:14What is she doing here?
43:18They're doing this behind Brendan's back?
43:24Casis!
43:25What?
43:26Did you see that?
43:27Yeah, I saw that.
43:28You're messing around with Brendan's fiancé?
43:30No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
43:32When did Brendan ever say that Emily's his fiancé?
43:36What do you mean?
43:37Come with me.
43:38Hey, future sister-in-law.
43:41Emily is Brendan's sister.
43:45Sister?
43:49My mom told me you were the best student she's ever had.
43:54Wait, so you're Lucia's daughter?
43:56My mom told me you were the best student she's ever had.
44:01Wait, so you're Lucia's daughter?
44:26So you're Brandon's little sweetheart, aren't you?
44:31Took me a while to hunt you down.
44:34I'm not.
44:35You're getting it wrong.
44:38Oh.
44:40Then why is he secretly taking care of you?
44:43He even sent people to watch over your mother.
44:46I'm telling you, you're getting it all wrong.
44:49He was just doing all that to spy on me.
44:51He wanted to know who killed his mother.
44:54Oh.
44:55So you know who did it?
44:58My professor.
45:00My professor, Lucia.
45:02She was his father's mistress, isn't it?
45:04She's the one who killed his mother.
45:06It was her.
45:12You put on quite an entertaining show.
45:16Well, let's find out what's really happening.
45:18No.
45:19No.
45:20No.
45:21No.
45:23No.
45:26Hello, sir?
45:28I found this cell phone and it looks pretty important.
45:38Bring me what you got in exchange or I'll make you regret it.
45:42What do you want?
45:43Time's ticking.
45:45You want to blow up in an hour or I'll make you regret it.
45:54You better start praying he makes it on time.
46:02My mom was Brandon's father Pearl's girlfriend.
46:05Oh.
46:06Then why did they end up together?
46:08Wait.
46:09Brandon's parents came from two prestigious families
46:12with a tradition of arranged marriages.
46:14His parents married for the sake of the family,
46:17but it wasn't a happy marriage.
46:19Well, then what about Brandon's mother's death?
46:22It was his power-hungry uncle.
46:25He brutally murdered his whole family just to take over the fortune
46:29and he even used my mother as a scapegoat.
46:32That is terrifying.
46:34So Brandon's been in danger all along?
46:39What are we going to do with the girl?
46:45Looks like time's up.
46:47He really doesn't care if you're dead, does he?
46:50I told you he was just using me.
46:52Please let me go.
46:54Hold her.
46:55Tight.
46:57Let her go.
47:04Let her go.
47:06Don't move.
47:07My favorite little nephew.
47:10You finally found me, huh?
47:20You okay?
47:23You okay?
47:25Yeah, yeah.
47:28Let's get you out of here.
47:30Come on.
47:33Let's get you out of here.
47:46Brandon?
47:58Elena.
48:00I'm back.
48:03Do you remember what you once told me right here?
48:06I do.
48:08I remember every word.
48:11And I'm never leaving you again.
48:20I love you.
