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.
02:02This is literally where princes live.
02:26Miss Hart, you're late.
02:27Late?
02:28But you told me to come at being early is on time, and being on time is late.
02:32Got it.
02:33I'll keep it in mind.
02:34Relax, Lenny.
02:35Don't be so hard on her.
02:36Mr. Katrakis.
02:37This is Elena Hart, the new personal chef.
02:38Elena, be sure to call him sir.
02:39No, it's okay.
02:40Hey, Elena.
02:41It's really nice to meet you.
02:42I'm Oliver Katrakis.
02:43Hello, Mr. Katrakis.
02:44I've read about you, actually.
02:45You're Chairman's Lucenza only representative, right?
02:46Yeah.
02:47I'm Brandon's cousin.
02:48I'm also his personal assistant.
02:49So your job is not going to be very complicated, but sometimes Brandon can be pretty ... So
03:14just stick to the recipes, and no room for improvisation.
03:17I'll give you this.
03:20So he's Greek.
03:21So he loves traditional Greek dishes, but 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, but you're going to have to learn more.
03:32Well, I'm up for the challenge.
03:35Good, because right now I have my plate full at the company.
03:38So I'm leaving Brandon in your capable hands.
03:42You can count on me.
03:43I promise.
03:47But I was just wondering, why me?
03:50I mean, I'm not exactly experienced.
03:53That's not the point.
03:54He chose you personally, so you're going to be just fine.
03:58Will I get to meet him?
04:01I'm not for sure on that, but I think you will.
04:11What is he like?
04:20Why would he act so mysterious?
04:27Wow, that looks really good.
04:28What is that?
04:29We've got some epiola samos and some cogannas for breakfast today.
04:35You should check out the reading room when you get a chance.
04:37There's like a ton of cookbooks in there.
04:39Really?
04:40Yeah.
04:41Well, that's incredible.
04:42But if you go up there, just stay on the third floor.
04:44Don't go upstairs.
04:49Careful with that.
04:50Is this all of hers?
05:09Sir, I've made this dipping sauce for you.
05:12It's one of my specialties.
05:14Hope you enjoy it.
05:15Helene.
05:21Miss Hart, Brandon really enjoyed the meal,
05:23but he would appreciate it if you didn't leave any little notes.
05:27But why?
05:28Didn't Mr. Katrakis ask you not to improvise?
05:31Yeah, but I did it because...
05:33Didn't he also ask me to keep learning?
05:44Happy to hear that you love this dish.
05:47But the extra spices are necessary.
06:18The food was delicious, Miss Hart,
06:20but I don't think a note is necessary every time.
06:22My God, did he really reply?
06:24His handwriting is so beautiful.
06:47You were right.
06:56Glass of champagne would indeed enhance its flavor.
06:59But weren't you told not to improvise?
07:02I did it anyway.
07:04You liked it, no?
07:06You seem really happy.
07:07What's up?
07:08Mr. Katrakis, it's been a while.
07:11I've heard about those notes.
07:13So that means you two must be getting along pretty well, right?
07:18I mean, I wanted to reach out somehow.
07:20Didn't really expect him to reply, but...
07:23Well, that's good news.
07:24You know, Lenny's always really busy around the house,
07:26and I need someone to fill in for me
07:28that's reliable when I'm not here.
07:30Well, honored to help.
07:31Oh, and by the way, I've already washed the jacket.
07:34Thank you so much.
07:35I'll give it back to you soon.
07:36Jacket? What jacket?
07:37What are you talking about?
07:40Never mind.
07:41It's okay. Carry on.
07:44So it was an Oliver.
07:46Could it be Brendan?
07:48Is that even his style?
08:01This is his room.
08:11Hi.
08:12So

08:42You
08:45Were you clueless or just blatantly ignoring my instruction I was lost. I'm sorry
08:50I know this house is enormous bigger than you could ever imagine
08:54But what I cannot stand is you breaking the one rule in this house that actually matters
09:00What did I do? I didn't Brandon told me there was an intruder in his room
09:05Come with me he wants to talk to the person who invaded his privacy
09:11This may be the first time we ever fire someone within their first month
09:19What do you mean fire me wait, I'm sorry I didn't mean to break into his room
09:29This interrogation room
09:35I

10:26Honestly even grown fond of your nose and you've made mealtime more fun what please
10:34Don't fire me. I swear. It's never gonna happen again
10:39There's something I need that only you can provide so if you're willing to cooperate
10:45Then maybe I will give you another chance. Yeah. Yeah anything
10:50Good open the computer
11:04What do you want me to do what do you want from her well since you're asking I assume that you remember her
11:11What I want you to do is tell me where she is. I
11:16Can't tell you that sort of information about Lucia, that's her privacy
11:22Well as far as I know your mother has some pretty expensive medical bills and they've increased recently
11:29Have you been investigating me? Not exactly
11:33But if you can provide some useful information and I'll take care of the medical bills and your death
11:40That's blackmail miss heart
11:43You broke into my room and watched me taking a shower. If that is not illegal, then I don't know what is
11:50If you want an answer you want me an explanation first, how are you two even related are you child she doesn't know about
12:02Fair enough
12:05She was close to my father
12:10Fine let's make a deal
12:14You're in no position to bargain if you want to know about Lucia's whereabouts and I have my conditions
12:20first I get to stay here and
12:23I'm gonna sign a contract in person face to face and that's a non-negotiable. Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
12:33I
12:42Don't know what you've done to our boss, but I'm utterly concerned
12:47Nothing really he needs something important. No one else in this world can give him
13:03Sure you want to go in there
13:05These were my conditions. I have to follow through
13:10Don't worry, I'll be waiting outside here for you
13:24Do you have the contract with you? Yeah
13:27And you're gonna sign it person no need just leave it on the table
13:40I'm a monster. Okay, you won't want to see
13:47What are you talking about
13:51Just forget about okay, just get out of here
13:57Get out
13:59I
14:01I
14:26Mean so handsome
14:31I
14:34Actually the most good-looking guy I've ever seen
14:38Why are you wearing a mask before we sign this contract I need to confirm again, how much do you know about Lucia's whereabouts?
14:49Compile everything that you've got
14:51And send it I
15:00Hope you won't let me down
15:04I won't hey guys. I was just thinking you must be really starving. So I whipped up a very special breakfast for you
15:11Over that's so sweet of you. Thank you. You're welcome. Enjoy
15:22What do you think about Oliver Oliver it's pretty nice it's always so patient everybody loves me
15:35You're pretty nice you covering me with your jacket why do you care about me so much
15:46Because your daily meals
15:51I
15:55Did Brandon give you a hard time no, he was just a little bit cold
16:00I've been looking after him since he was a kid
16:03He's been locking himself in his room and refusing to interact with anyone for over 10 years
16:07over 10 years
16:09Why?
16:11He probably believes no one would ever accept him
16:21I
16:30Mean that's why I'm home to take care
16:35Get yourself before you to this new document sure
16:38Wait have the new chef come up and introduce the dishes in person. Okay, we'll do
16:51Come in
16:54You asked to see me
16:56Anything wrong with the dinner this dish. It was over seasoned use less salt next time and this one this was good, but
17:04The ingredients weren't fresh enough. So next time you use better suppliers
17:09Got it
17:10Anything else? That's it
17:21You
17:27Here's your breakfast, thank you
17:34Anything else I was hoping to take the afternoon off and get the spa to a little bit
17:41Yeah, you should go you deserve it
17:45I
17:48Won't bother you
17:50Just ask Lenny to find you a chauffeur. Oh, it's alright Oliver said he could take me
17:56Oliver
17:59Okay
18:01Whatever you prefer
18:04Would you like to come with me I've never been to a place like this no not really. Thank you
18:14Oh
18:23This is so luxurious, this is the finest spot in the town, please follow me
18:44Oh
18:47Are you feeling better much better the doctor scheduled another surgery, how's everything at the new job?
18:54Hope the boss isn't giving you a hard time. No
18:58Everything's fine. Remember not to burn yourself out. Take care of yourself. Don't worry mom
19:14I
19:26Said let's try it out. You know, this Mexican restaurant has got to be one of my favorite spots
19:30It just helps me relax every time I get off work. Yeah, this looks incredible
19:35That's actually their signature. If you really like it, we can always come back
19:40Yeah
19:45Wow
19:46This new recipe you've been working on. Yeah. What do you think? Not bad?
19:51I had it yesterday at the restaurant Oliver took me to and I thought I might like it
19:58Get out
20:02Something wrong with it. I'm not a fan of sharing get out now
20:14I
20:25Try to recreate a dish we had last night at the restaurant so Brennan could try it too, but he said he doesn't like sharing
20:34Something funny it has nothing to do with sharing
20:39He's jealous
20:41Why
20:43Because you got him used to having someone around and now he's trusting people again, and he doesn't want to lose that
20:49That's why he becomes insecure when you take a liking to someone like me Elena
20:53I really admire you and not just because of how well you perform your job. You make Brandon feel alive again
21:00I know him very well
21:02And I think you should get to know him more yourself as well
21:11I
21:19Didn't I tell you not to come in here I
21:22Wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry. Stop. Do I have to remind you not to fall for anyone?
21:29Why this is a place of work not for Romans
21:34No, but ever since I got here I
21:39I know just leave
21:49You know, I just wish you would get out of the house and see the world instead of locking yourself away
21:55None of your business
22:03I
22:07Would he do that
22:17Hi Elena, this is dr. Cassius. He needs to know everything about your most recent interactions with Brandon
22:25Interaction. I I just had a small conversation with him this heart. Please. Calm down
22:29I just need to know how Brandon is doing given his delicate health condition
22:34We have to make sure he hasn't been triggered in it
22:38It's triggered. I didn't trigger him. I swear. I I was just talking to him in the night. I touched his hand and then suddenly
22:48Is he all right, can I see him?
23:00You
23:14What are you doing I told you not to come in here not leaving until you tell me the real reason
23:20Look, okay a man like me isn't worth your time
23:27Wait
23:45Wait
23:48Get out
23:50Just get out
23:53Get out now
23:56Yes
24:02Are you okay Brandon? It's me open up
24:05I
24:26Just give him a kiss a kiss that may mean nothing to most people but for Brandon 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. It can cause serious physical reactions
24:51Oh my god, what have I done?
24:53I'm not so sure about your feelings for him
24:56But if you want to be with him either you stay here forever and accept him the way he is or help him get better
25:09You don't need to share all you think you can't keep going like this that she's gonna wait
25:15You can't tell me what to do. Just look at yourself
25:19No better than a wuss. Please. Please don't hurt you argue
25:26You
25:33Elena what's wrong? What's going on? You look exhausted. I
25:41Wrote tons of notes
25:44Didn't respond to any. Well, 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. Let's do it. Let's go
26:09So what exactly happened to Brandon, you know, I think maybe he should tell you himself
26:14Do you think I'll get to see him again? I don't know just forget about it. Come on. Let's have a drink Cheers
26:27The
26:29Hell is she doing out there this later? Easy man. Easy Oliver's taking care of Elena. He's taking her home. Oh, yeah
26:36How do you know he's not taking advantage of right now? Stop overtaking. I'll go fake. Give me the key. No
26:44Give me the damn key now
26:50You want to go try kill yourself you can't even walk you're downtown
26:56I don't care
27:05Make sure that you're not weighing over
27:16No, you're not dreaming since you're here I'm gonna leave Elena to you you folks have a good night come with me
27:27I
27:36Thought it couldn't some people are worth making an exception for
27:46It's too dangerous, how will I know if all my suffering was worth it if I don't even try
27:56I
28:04Don't worry Elena, I'm so scared I've heard you but you didn't
28:10Oh
28:22You know what this means don't you I do you'd be my girlfriend. Yes
28:41You're awake come with me
28:55What is this place
28:58This is my safe haven
29:01After my family's tragedy, I can't parent feeling I had to be in control to protect myself those around
29:09So I built the shelter
29:12Mostly so I could predict and analyze any potential threats
29:20You know what I'm sick of living with
29:31Look Elena after we met I
29:35I
29:35Realized I want to live a normal life. I want to be bound to my past rely on these things to protect me
29:42Thank you for sharing that with me
29:46Thrilled to be part of your life. I think
29:50Really?
29:52You
30:01Hey
30:02Congratulations on taking the step
30:05Am I supposed to thank you
30:07Do you really think I'm oblivious to how you feel about it? We grew up together man. Come on
30:13You should know who matters to me. I
30:15Mean, I do admire Elena, but 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
30:31Thank you
30:46Is this your mother yeah, it's the last photo taken over before she died
30:53I
30:54Lay now I need to tell you something Lucia your PhD advisor. She was my father's mistress
31:03What
31:07Lucia
31:09She doesn't look like she would hurt anybody. I know it's hard to believe but she's likely linked to my mother's death
31:17This is for real, I don't know
31:20I'm still investigating but
31:22After all, there was no evidence left at the scene. I just figured that you needed to know the truth
31:29So that's why I'm here, please just don't blame me, okay
31:34No
31:36Just can't believe it
31:46This is Betty my girlfriend
31:49Since when did you have a girl? Well, not necessarily everything needs to be run by you in advance with your permission doesn't know
31:56Get in the car. We might miss a flight
32:02Is that your house? Yeah, that was my mother's place
32:18Wow
32:20This place is beautiful
32:23Her mom must have loved it here. Yeah
32:26That's gorgeous
32:28That's some bad memories from here wanna share them with me I watched my mother and sister brutally murdered right in front of my eyes I
32:39Was hiding under the stairs
32:42And I saw him fall into a pool of blood. I couldn't do anything now ever since that day
32:47I haven't been able to face anyone trust anyone
32:52But having you here
32:54It's shown me that I can face my past
32:58Now I want to show you
33:01Brendan
33:03There's nothing for you to prove. Okay. I know things have been hard for you, but please
33:10Don't push yourself that much. Okay, and plus I've already seen the real you
33:15Courageous kind-hearted person
33:29So Oliver's still paying off his school
33:37Hi buddy, hi Elena, I found a really cool place. Do you wanna check it out?
33:43One second Betty thinks you found a really cool place and just wonder if you want to check it out together
33:48What do you guys think?
33:49Hey, you know what? How about you gals go ahead Brandon and I we've got some work related things to sort out
33:55So just catch up later
33:57Yeah
33:59Yeah, yeah, you should go

34:12What are you doing just don't want you I'll be back soon go get your work done
34:24But he's rushing me I gotta go see you later, okay
34:35So, uh, what's your call on this I
34:38I
34:40Agree to go through with the long-term treatment plan. You know what that means, right?
34:44You're not gonna be seeing Elena for a really long time. I'm aware and when exactly are you gonna tell her? I
34:50Don't know. I haven't figured it out, but just give me a few days
34:59Have you guys seen my phone I have been looking for it everywhere
35:02Did you check in your room no, I already check it there. Wait a minute. Did you just text Elena?
35:12Elena's we gotta find it. Let's go. Let's go
35:21He seemed a bit off like he was hurt
35:27I
35:29He seemed a bit off like he was hiding something
35:38Brandon has prepared something for you. Please. Hold on for a moment
35:49So you mean to say that the text wasn't from Betty that's what she said apparently your phone went missing
35:55So you're suspecting her
35:57But she's all of us I don't think she's as simple as she seems
36:01But I don't want to sit sour their relationship
36:04Oliver definitely has nothing to do
36:15Never expect to be here
36:27You
36:39Now you know what I really look like
36:42This is why I wear the mask have anything to hide, okay
36:48To me you've always been perfect
36:57I
37:17Brandon
37:27Oh
37:31Elena finally you picked up. Where's Brendan? Can I see him?
37:41Elena finally you picked up. Where's Brendan? Can I see him?
37:47Now it's it's just really bad timing. Please Oliver, please. I just need to see him once I need to talk to him, please
37:53Okay, look fine, there's gonna be a family gathering next week he might show up I'll take you there but you'd better be prepared
38:01Yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you
38:18Elena
38:20Surprised to see you here. Mr. Cassius. Why are you here? By the way? Have you seen Brendan?
38:26I've been looking for him everywhere and I can't really find him
38:32Brendan
38:39Maybe he didn't see you
38:50You
39:07Are you really sure you're gonna do this to her?
39:10Look
39:11It's the best I can do right now the best you can do and you know exactly how much she cares about you
39:17You're only gonna hurt her by doing this
39:19I can't be her burden and she deserves so much more than to be tied down by a monster like me
39:25Still always so stubborn, you know, I really hope you don't regret this
39:41Sorry
39:44Could he treat me like that Brandon is about to undergo his 14th surgery 14
39:50He's actually doing much worse than you may think
39:53Why wouldn't he tell me that? Why would he try to face all of this alone?
39:57But he doesn't want you to see him at his worst. He thinks it's pathetic
40:01Well, I'm not giving up on him then give both yourself and him a chance. But first you have to get stronger yourself
40:14I
40:22So, what is it
40:28I'm pretty good
40:36What the hell are you doing
40:39Oh
40:42Brendan it's been a while. Can we talk? There's nothing to talk about
40:51Fine I'm not working at the house anymore
41:01You crossed the line
41:03Elena deserves to know the truth, doesn't she? Yes, Brandon. If you keep on hiding, it's only gonna make things more complicated
41:11That's just something to do
41:13It's more complicated than you can ever imagine
41:15Okay, the more that you know, the more dangerous again, so you are fine with a line in everything
41:23It's the only way to leave her alone
41:33Hey, it's okay
41:45Please
41:55Please don't blame me
42:03Elena
42:06You can't just leave like that Oliver, thank you for being so kind but Brendan and I have nothing left to talk about
42:12That's not true. Please. Tell him we're done. Listen. Okay, Elena. Just listen to me. All right, you can't
42:18leave
42:19Our contracts not up yet contract. Did you forget the one that you asked to sign?
42:25Brendan you already have a fiance. Why won't you just set me free?
42:29Either way, I've already made up my mind. I'm going home and I'm taking care of my mom. I just said you can't leave
42:36And why is that?
42:38You can just disappear without a word, but I can't even quit a job
42:44Elena please just give me some time
42:47Just like a stranger to know you're the one who decided to give up on us. Don't regret it
42:58Hi Cassius, yeah, I'm here. Should I wait inside?
43:05Outside, okay
43:14Is that Brendan's fiance? What is she doing here?
43:21They're doing this behind Brendan's back
43:24You
43:27Cassius what did you see that? Yeah, I saw that you're messing around with Brendan's fiance. Oh, wait, wait, wait
43:35When did Brandon ever say that Emily's his fiance?
43:39What do you mean? Come with me?
43:45Hey future sister-in-law
43:48Emily is Brandon's sister
43:51It's sister
43:55My mom told me you were the best student she's ever had wait, so you're Lucia's daughter
44:20Oh
44:29You're Brandon's little sweetheart, aren't you took me a while to hunt you down
44:34I'm not
44:35You're you're getting it wrong. Oh
44:41Then why is he secretly taking care of you you even sent people to watch over your mother
44:47I'm telling you you're getting it all wrong. He was just doing all that to spy on me. He wanted to know who killed his mother. Oh
44:56So, you know who did it?
45:02She was his father's mistress and she's the one who killed his mother
45:12You put on quite an entertaining show
45:17Let's find out what's really
45:26Hello, sir, I 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 time's ticking show up an hour I'll make you regret it
45:54Start praying he makes it on time
46:02My mom was Brandon's father Pearl's girlfriend. Oh
46:05Then why didn't end up together?
46:07Wait Brandon's parents came from two prestigious families with a tradition of arranged marriages
46:14His parents married for the sake of the family, but it wasn't a happy marriage
46:19Well, then what about Brendan's mother's death? It was his power hungry uncle
46:24He brutally murdered his whole family just to take over the fortune and and he even used my mother's escape code
46:34So Brendan's been in danger all along
46:37Like

46:53Hold her
47:04Let her go
