00:00:01As a student of love philosophy, today is the first time I've been invited to a costume party, and I'm
00:00:09going to wow them all. Until...
00:00:12What is she wearing?
00:00:15Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.
00:00:20I didn't think you'd come.
00:00:22It's not fit as a choice.
00:00:24Did I come to the wrong place?
00:00:27Everyone, our love expert, Mia. She's dressed a bit special today, so it's the perfect time for everyone to get
00:00:36to know her.
00:00:39Well, you think you write the psychology of love and you're some kind of love group?
00:00:44I thought this was Professor Ryan's costume party.
00:00:48Oh, you received this invitation? Sorry.
00:00:53Yours is fake.
00:00:55We made it for you, Dr. Love.
00:00:58Let's post it entitled, The Funny Girl Breakdown. The Love Psychologist Exposed.
00:01:21That's enough. What are you all doing here? Weren't you supposed to be welcoming the school's sponsor?
00:01:28Yes, we are welcoming the sponsor, but...
00:01:32I've seen how you're welcoming me.
00:01:35Are you okay? I was seriously over the line.
00:01:39Yeah, they used my research against me.
00:01:42Screw them! I mean, you're amazing. They're just jealous of how brilliant you are.
00:01:47Still pretending to be an academic? Maybe your next paper should be titled, How to Public Yourself Under Embarrassed.
00:01:58Alright, Amy. Let's make this interesting.
00:02:03Ten seconds. And I'll have Leo falling all over me.
00:02:07Are you dreaming? You're crazy.
00:02:11If you're wrong, then you have to apologize to me in front of everyone.
00:02:16And if I lose, then I will delete my thesis.
00:02:22And I will admit that I'm a fraud.
00:02:25Do.
00:02:34Leo, right?
00:02:40It was really cool what you did over there.
00:02:43Mia?
00:02:44And do you remember my name?
00:02:46It's hard to forget someone who comes to a reception dressed as a Vegas showgirl.
00:02:52I thought excellence came from boldness.
00:02:55Or is that just a theory?
00:03:08Wait.
00:03:12Her earring is caught on my couch.
00:03:31It's in your eyes.
00:03:34Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:03:41Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:03:44Oh, ho, ho.
00:03:45There's something in the right.
00:03:51I can't take no more lies
00:03:56There's something in those lies
00:04:02Find out everything you can about Mia
00:04:07Oh, and call my wife
00:04:10I want to meet her
00:04:11You got it?
00:04:21You said ten seconds
00:04:23I counted six
00:04:24I mean, that was insane
00:04:26You had the whole room holding their breath
00:04:28Even Leo
00:04:29Step one to Mia's love theory
00:04:31Create controlled chaos
00:04:33And what was the result?
00:04:35Chemistry 1A
00:04:36Dopamine activation
00:04:41Hello?
00:04:46So she crashed an exclusive dinner
00:04:49Forged the invitation
00:04:52Put on a performance
00:04:53And calls it research
00:04:54I think there might be some misunderstanding
00:04:57I mean, she was at the top of her psychology department
00:05:00Perfect GPA, no disciplinary record
00:05:05Place of birth to Oregon?
00:05:08She's just like her
00:05:11How's it going with the meeting with my wife?
00:05:12Oh, all set
00:05:13It's the day
00:05:19My husband wants to meet me today
00:05:22Seriously?
00:05:23That prick didn't even go to the wedding
00:05:24You're gonna see him
00:05:25Nope
00:05:26Love is the last thing I need to be happy
00:05:37Do you take this man to be your husband?
00:05:46I do
00:05:51There, Mom
00:05:52Now I am married to a stranger
00:05:55Who lives thousands of miles away
00:05:56I hope you're happy
00:05:59My parents arranged the marriage before they died
00:06:02I haven't even met the man
00:06:05I need to get a divorce
00:06:06ASAP
00:06:12Lily!
00:06:13Oh my gosh!
00:06:15Long time no see!
00:06:19What are our plans?
00:06:20I need you to pretend to be me
00:06:23And divorce my husband that I've never met
00:06:25Hold on
00:06:26Why me?
00:06:27Because
00:06:28You know me better than anyone
00:06:31And you have
00:06:32A ton of experience
00:06:33Handling jerks
00:06:35Girl, you called me because of that
00:06:37No, wait
00:06:37Lily, Lily
00:06:44Say no more
00:06:46When are we gonna do that?
00:06:48Well
00:07:05Oh my god
00:07:07Mia's husband is just my type
00:07:12Are you Leo Brian?
00:07:14Yes, please
00:07:17Sit
00:07:24I'm sorry I've been MIA since we got married
00:07:28I'll make it up to you
00:07:30This marriage was our parents' idea
00:07:32But I'll put you through college
00:07:35You can divorce after you graduate
00:07:38Actually, I
00:07:39I know you have a lot of student debt
00:07:43You're welcome to move in with me
00:07:55Let me think about it
00:07:57Let me know when you thought it over
00:08:04Oh
00:08:04It's okay
00:08:05I've got this
00:08:11See you later
00:08:12See you later
00:08:29Oh my god, girl
00:08:30Lily
00:08:30Oh my gosh
00:08:31Tell me everything that happened
00:08:33Your husband is so ugly
00:08:35And dirt poor tooth
00:08:36I mean, he even tried to fill me up
00:08:38You dodged a bullet
00:08:40Wait, Lily
00:08:40I'm so sorry
00:08:42Are you okay?
00:08:43Well
00:08:44No problem
00:08:45Because I just keep him right in the family's nose
00:08:49So just forget if he ever existed, okay?
00:08:52Okay
00:08:53Well, let me at least make you dinner
00:08:57Please
00:08:57It's the least I can do
00:09:02Rejected
00:09:03The psychology of love paper
00:09:05Is not based on any hard data
00:09:09Then what do you want me to do?
00:09:11Find the perfect man
00:09:12Bag the perfect man
00:09:14And then get back to me
00:09:15Good luck with that one
00:09:26Who is the perfect guy?
00:09:30What are you going to do?
00:09:32Graduation's in three months
00:09:33Yeah
00:09:34And don't forget about your student loans, girl
00:09:36I mean
00:09:36You need a guinea pig
00:09:37And a fast
00:09:44Leo Bryan
00:09:46He's a visiting professor here
00:09:48Wow
00:09:50Fate is working overtime with you two
00:10:00Mr. Bryan
00:10:01You're not supposed to fall for your students
00:10:12Back to Earth, Mia
00:10:13It'll be a piece of cake
00:10:15I'll just implement step two of Mia's
00:10:19Wrong
00:10:19Men are visual creatures
00:10:21You need to catch his eye first
00:10:27Brian Technologies
00:10:29Is investing in a new research project
00:10:32On companionship AI
00:10:34This is mortifying
00:10:36I thought he was the only one here
00:10:38And I'm looking for an assistant
00:10:55You are the obvious choice
00:10:57Amy and I are the perfect choice for this project
00:11:01As you may know
00:11:02Amy's dad is the CEO
00:11:04Stop
00:11:04Connections won't get you anywhere with me
00:11:06Go
00:11:08I'm not repeating myself
00:11:13He really is the perfect guy
00:11:16Why?
00:11:16You
00:11:18Go
00:11:20Me?
00:11:21Why?
00:11:22I don't want anybody working for me who is more concerned about clothes than research

00:12:54Just making sure my boss looks good
00:13:06Me?
00:13:07I'd be more worried about yourself
00:13:10My grandma wouldn't wear that dress
00:13:12Well your grandma should wash your mouth out with soap
00:13:15For talking to me that way
00:13:16Anson

00:13:22Understood

00:13:38And I'm gonna be his research assistant
00:13:42Um

00:13:48If I'm gonna pass this semester
00:13:51Girl
00:13:52Listen to me
00:13:53I've heard he's a total fuckboy
00:13:55And he hooks up with girls all night
00:13:58Please
00:13:59Stay away from him
00:14:20I have nowhere to go
00:14:22You said you would take care of me
00:14:29Because we're married, right?
00:14:36Because we're married, right?
00:14:40Because we're married, right?
00:14:40So, where are we sleeping tonight?
00:14:46Just stay in your own lane
00:14:48You can have the upstairs
00:14:58This all gonna be mine one day
00:15:00Leo, you're gonna fall for me whether you like it or not
00:15:08Professor Brian still hasn't asked you out
00:15:11No
00:15:12You know, I'm starting to think that maybe my method doesn't actually work
00:15:17You should ask your roommate Lily
00:15:19Guy's over
00:15:20Not my roommate anymore
00:15:22She just moved in with her new boyfriend
00:15:25They're so jealous that you're like this with Professor Brian
00:15:30Listen
00:15:31I hate to be a bummer, but
00:15:32Everyone's saying this dude's way out of your league
00:15:36Bullshit
00:15:37I am nice
00:15:38I am hard-working
00:15:40And I have my masters
00:15:41What?
00:15:42I'm out of that moody weirdo's league?
00:15:45Uh, I know
00:15:46I am Professor Jackoff
00:15:47And I'm a total asshole
00:15:49You're right
00:15:51I never shut up
00:15:52And I love to hear the sound of my own voice
00:15:54He aggravates me more than anyone I have ever met
00:16:12What a coincidence
00:16:13If it isn't my favorite professor
00:16:17I didn't realize you were so two faced
00:16:21I came here to invite you to the club tomorrow
00:16:33A fancy date! It's happening!
00:16:36I mean, I can't believe it! Leo really asked you out!
00:16:39Finally! It's my turn!
00:16:45Hmm
00:16:46Mia?
00:16:47I've heard you're going to the country club with Mr. Leo Brian tomorrow
00:16:51Yeah
00:16:54You don't have to worry about me
00:16:56You're such a good friend
00:16:59But now I need to go pick out my outfit for tomorrow
00:17:02Go girl!
00:17:09Oh, I'm sorry Mia
00:17:12Leo is mine
00:17:16Step 4 in Mia's Guide to Romance

00:17:21Always be smiling!
00:17:35Hi
00:17:36This is a very important meeting
00:17:38I hope you've brought the samples I mentioned in my notes
00:17:41Vader?
00:17:42Leo!
00:17:45What the fuck?
00:17:51Come on, hurry up
00:17:53This notes must have been in the invite
00:17:55Where did it go?
00:17:56Mia, come on
00:17:58Get your head in the gate
00:18:11Good to see you
00:18:12Long time no see
00:18:13How have you been?
00:18:14Good
00:18:14Should we have a toast?
00:18:16We could
00:18:16Thank you
00:18:17Oh
00:18:18I brought the samples that you asked for
00:18:20Yeah
00:18:20Mia, you want to show them?
00:18:23Mia, samples
00:18:29Sample?
00:18:33Sample?
00:18:35You must be starving
00:18:42Honey, I'm not feeling well
00:18:44I shouldn't have drunk on an empty stomach
00:18:49Research shows that skipping breakfast is a big no-no
00:18:53So why don't you eat first and we'll talk later
00:18:56Thank you
00:18:57Mr. Brian, your girlfriend is such a sweetheart
00:19:00Everyone is all about business
00:19:01It's just a nice change of pace
00:19:04Huh
00:19:04Yeah, she's a great girl
00:19:07One second
00:19:08We should eat
00:19:10Let's talk over there, shall we?
00:19:15Are you trying to embarrass me?
00:19:17I thought this was a date
00:19:20A date?
00:19:22Really?
00:19:23You're into your professor?
00:19:27I...
00:19:32Don't misunderstand this
00:19:34You're only here because Amazon's busy
00:19:36Right?
00:19:37Of course
00:19:40Professionally?
00:19:44Jetty's ready!
00:19:45Let's continue the conversation on our island, Mr. Brian
00:19:48Great!
00:19:49Lead the way!
00:19:55I just can't get to break, can I?
00:20:00Hey!
00:20:00How are things going with Professor Hottie?
00:20:02Not good!
00:20:03I'm an idiot!
00:20:04I thought it was a date and it's not and I'm out on my ass!
00:20:07Fuck this!
00:20:14This day just keeps getting worse and worse!
00:20:23It's not honestly
00:20:25I'm not sure
00:20:29But the day is still
00:20:35That's just an awesome thing
00:20:38I think
00:20:39That's just going to be the first time
00:20:47But the people
00:20:47What is this?
00:20:57I couldn't leave you here alone. You are my assistant, after all.
00:21:02That is very nice of you.
00:21:05I'm sorry about it earlier. I didn't explain myself quite clearly.
00:21:09But you did well.
00:21:12You shouldn't push yourself. Here, take this.
00:21:30I'm going to get you all wet.
00:21:32Don't worry about me. I got this.
00:21:42I need to trip you forever.
00:21:45Tonight's the night we make an air.
00:21:52It's okay, I can do it myself.
00:21:56You want something to drink?
00:21:57I'm good.
00:22:00What's wrong?
00:22:02I got it.
00:22:11Damn it.
00:22:16Do you always have random hookups?
00:22:20There's a lesson from your professor.
00:22:24Every conclusion needs evidence to back it up.
00:22:36Would you like to find out?
00:22:54I'll be falling.
00:22:58Would you like to find out?
00:23:01How many girls have just melted, looking in those eyes?

00:34:40So, thank you, Professor Gregg.
00:34:44It's my pleasure.
00:34:53You're the listener, and they're doing it.
00:34:57You're drunk.
00:35:01Step number five and Mia's going to go to romance, take risks.
00:35:08Mia's going to romance?
00:35:10What are you talking about?
00:35:29Why are you naked?
00:35:32What happened last night?
00:35:34Are you afraid we forgot to cuddle?
00:35:38Dumbass, remember.
00:36:15Oh, God, that was close.
00:36:18Why are you so relieved?
00:36:20Back up, Professor.
00:36:21You getting cold feet?
00:36:25Remember, it was you that kissed me the day we met.
00:36:28Total accident.
00:36:30I swear.
00:36:32My bad.
00:36:35I'm gonna go shower.
00:36:50This data is all over the place.
00:36:55Maybe he does like me.
00:37:05Holy shit, they slept together.
00:37:11That bitch.
00:37:12Shh.
00:37:13Doctor, Professor, just graduate.
00:37:21I need another favor.
00:37:23Can you take some divorce papers to my husband?
00:37:27Oh, sure, Bessie.
00:37:29Let's meet at the bar.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:33Utilizing the halo effect is step nine in Mia's Guide to Romance.
00:37:38Edward L. Thorndike theorized that we completely overlook red flags when we're in love.
00:37:45No.
00:37:47No, I'm not in love with him.
00:37:51Careful, ma'am.
00:37:54Ugh!
00:37:55It's blinding.
00:37:59Um, I have to go write some messes.
00:38:07My whole thesis is out the window.
00:38:10Science is a joke.
00:38:15You got me there.
00:38:17Apparently no scientific explanation for that.
00:38:20Hello?
00:38:25Hello?
00:38:26Lily, oh my gosh!
00:38:28How are you?
00:38:29I'm feeling great.
00:38:31My boyfriend is so obsessed with me.
00:38:34He's showing me with cash.
00:38:36So lucky.
00:38:37You must have really good taste.
00:38:40See that?
00:38:41Wow.
00:38:44That's beautiful.
00:38:45He must love spending money on you.
00:38:47Yes, he does.
00:38:49Oh, I do have a favor to ask you.
00:38:54Would you mind giving these divorce papers to my husband?
00:38:59Please?
00:39:01Please don't rush me.
00:39:04Actually, is that it?
00:39:05I have to go.
00:39:06Lily, what's gotten into you?
00:39:08You've been acting different ever since you started dating that guy.
00:39:12Can I at least meet him?
00:39:15It's okay. He's a very busy man.
00:39:17I have to go.
00:39:19Bye.
00:39:19Bye.
00:39:22You sure have some generous friends, Mia.
00:39:25What's that supposed to mean?
00:39:27She saw you like the necklace so much she let you keep it.
00:39:30And for free, too.
00:39:33I should give this back.
00:39:38Hey, cutie. You're here to pick me up.
00:39:41I was on the way.
00:39:46Uh, I feel sick.
00:39:49What's wrong?
00:39:52Uh, can we go?
00:40:01Mia?
00:40:02Professor Bryan?
00:40:03What are you doing here?
00:40:05My friend.
00:40:06She lost this necklace.
00:40:07Trying to get back to her.
00:40:15I gotta find her.
00:40:17Sorry.
00:40:30She had the necklace I gave you.
00:40:33How do you know her?
00:40:34I know her from high school.
00:40:37We were both named Mia, so we were obviously friends.
00:40:40Why were you hiding from her?
00:40:43She wants me to lend her some cash.
00:40:46I'm not interested.
00:40:47Yeah.
00:40:49She's the worst.
00:40:51Should stay away from her.
00:40:53I know her.
00:40:55What you're saying doesn't sound like you two are friends.
00:41:00I guess I'll give it to her later.
00:41:10May I rose?
00:41:11I'm Grace, your mother-in-law.
00:41:21Sweetheart, I heard you want a divorce.
00:41:24That's true, but you don't have to worry about me.
00:41:31My son gave this to you, right?
00:41:34No, actually that's my friend Lily's.
00:41:37Impossible.
00:41:38I helped him pick it out.
00:41:40I'm positive.
00:41:41Lily accepted a gift from him?
00:41:44Mia, I promised your mom I'd look after you.
00:41:49Please talk to my son.
00:41:59Look, Sticky, how's your experiment coming along?
00:42:02Um, well, if you look at the graph here, you can see the time and location-
00:42:05Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, cut to the point, okay?
00:42:07He kissed me and his heart rate reached 130.
00:42:09130. Mine would reach 132 if I got one million in grunts.
00:42:13What more do you want from me?
00:42:15How about a video of him saying that he loves you?
00:42:18What?
00:42:18Who's in love with Mia?
00:42:24She has a secret admirer.
00:42:26I think we need to congratulate her.
00:42:29Really?
00:42:30Who?
00:42:32I have no idea.
00:42:35My office.
00:42:37Now.
00:42:46Am I here just so you can watch me work?
00:42:48I'm running a launch for the new AI next week.
00:42:51After that, I'm leaving.
00:42:54What?
00:42:55Remember about your credits, Mia?
00:42:57You've been a great assistant.
00:43:00Is he really leaving?
00:43:03So, he wants to make Leo admit that he loves you.
00:43:07The old farts playing matchmaker.
00:43:08But he's leaving so soon.
00:43:11Do you have enough time?
00:43:12Never fear.
00:43:14David is here.
00:43:17Quick.
00:43:18What's step six to Mia's Guide to Love?
00:43:21Make your target jealous?
00:43:22Exactly.
00:43:24We need the perfect rival for Leo.
00:43:40The perfect rival.
00:43:46We need to flirt so much that we make everybody jealous.
00:43:50What are you doing?
00:43:51You have got to be kidding me.
00:43:55Plus, influential authors at the center.
00:43:57That's me, I think.
00:44:00Hey, babe.
00:44:00Please.
00:44:03You up for lunch?
00:44:07Kat, who's coming to the cafe with me?
00:44:09I'm actually a little busy.
00:44:13Sounds fun.
00:44:29Dang, Mia, I can't get over just how gorgeous you are.
00:44:33I feel the same way.
00:44:36I just love how open and honest you are.
00:44:42Too slow.
00:44:43Time for the final blow.
00:44:44You dare!
00:44:52Can't you see she's not into you?
00:44:54You wish, dude.
00:44:56I know the code to her apartment.
00:44:57We're like, close close.
00:44:59Is that so?
00:45:01Yeah.
00:45:02Of course.
00:45:07Fine.
00:45:09Enjoy your dessert.
00:45:11What just happened?
00:45:13Did we screw up?
00:45:14Don't worry about it.
00:45:15We still have plan B.
00:45:18David was telling the truth.
00:45:19But he was spotted at her house.
00:45:22So is he her husband?
00:45:23No.
00:45:24But the PI is still investigating.
00:45:26Go back to the office.
00:45:27Got it.
00:45:31Professor Leo.
00:45:32What a coincidence.
00:45:34Up for a match?
00:45:36David here has been boxing ever since he was a kid.
00:45:39You're on.
00:45:41You're on.
00:45:59You're on.
00:46:01Who do you?
00:46:04Who do you?
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:08Somebody cares about you at all!
00:46:15Don't worry, I'll be careful.
00:46:17Just rest it on here.
00:46:30He seems to have you all riled up.
00:46:34Well, you're my assistant.
00:46:37Why can't you just be honest?
00:46:41Oh!
00:46:43I'll get that.
00:46:49I finally took the leap, but...
00:46:54Could you get that? It might be important.
00:46:59Looks like it's your mom.
00:47:06Mom.
00:47:06Oh, hi.
00:47:08Your wife and I are meeting up tonight.
00:47:10I want you to come.
00:47:11You and Mia?
00:47:14You and Mia?
00:47:18I can't. I'm busy.
00:47:20All right. I'll see you there tonight, hon.
00:47:33Professor, I need the night off.
00:47:37Fine. I'll take you home.
00:47:41Do you live here, too?
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:44This is the place.
00:47:46Do you know, uh, Mia?
00:47:48What?
00:47:52What?
00:47:53I got the research results on David.
00:47:54I got the research results on David.
00:47:55He's actually...
00:47:58Who's David to you?
00:48:01I've known him forever.
00:48:02He's always been really good to me.
00:48:06I got somewhere to be.
00:48:11He seems upset.
00:48:13I know it seems like it's working.
00:48:20Mia.
00:48:22Hello, sweetheart.
00:48:24I'm great.
00:48:25I'm sorry.
00:48:26Looks like Leo stood us up.
00:48:28It's okay.
00:48:28No worries.
00:48:30Good.
00:48:31Now I don't have to explain why I had Lily pretend to be me.
00:48:34You were all alone at your wedding a year ago.
00:48:46I do.
00:48:50My son missed it because he was on a humanitarian trip overseas.
00:48:55I understand.
00:48:57Give him another chance.
00:48:59He's working at your school now.
00:49:02Maybe it's fate.
00:49:05Really?
00:49:10Professor, what are you doing here?
00:49:13Stay away from David.
00:49:15He's...
00:49:17Oh, my God.
00:49:19Oh, you are wasting.
00:49:21He's playing you.
00:49:22Yeah, I know.
00:49:24What?
00:49:24They're my friends.
00:49:25They always get drunk and stay at my place.
00:49:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:30You're a waste of your hand.
00:49:32Really, no big deal.
00:49:35No, no, no, no, no, no, please.
00:49:37Yeah, drink, ma'am.
00:49:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, please.
00:49:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:49:44Leo!
00:49:45What the hell is wrong with you?
00:49:47He is drunk.
00:49:49Why would you do that?
00:49:51Oh!
00:49:54I don't like when he takes advantage of you.
00:50:02I'm going to ask you one more time.
00:50:05Do you like me?
00:50:09Then start acting like my professor.
00:50:13I'm sorry.
00:50:17Why am I disappointed?
00:50:20I don't have feelings for him.
00:50:22Right?
00:50:26I've been waiting for you forever.
00:50:28Hey, I'm sorry I missed dinner with my mom today.
00:50:32I met your mom today.
00:50:34Um, sure.
00:50:36It's so bad that you couldn't come.
00:50:39We had a great conversation.
00:50:41She always wanted that ring.
00:50:43Um, what ring?
00:50:46The one she traded with your mom.
00:50:53Lily, what's wrong?
00:50:55Can I ask you something?
00:50:58Do you know the ring that your mom gave you?
00:51:05Do you know the ring that your mom gave you?
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10Could you please borrow this to me?
00:51:13Oh, Lily, you know I would do anything for you, but
00:51:17that's the last thing my mom gave me before she passed away, so
00:51:22Fine, but at least can you drink with me?
00:51:27Okay.
00:51:28Cheers to me, single, I guess.
00:51:31Cheers.
00:51:32Cheers.
00:51:33Cheers.
00:51:47Cheers.
00:51:48Cheers.
00:51:49Cheers.
00:51:52Cheers.
00:51:53Cheers.
00:51:54Cheers.
00:51:58Cheers.
00:51:59Cheers.
00:51:59Cheers.
00:52:00Cheers.
00:52:02Cheers.
00:52:02Cheers.
00:52:02Cheers.
00:52:02I'm so tired.
00:52:21Professor Brian.
00:52:23I need you to come to MIT tonight with me for a seminar.
00:52:28Why is everything so last minute with you?
00:52:31I have a life too.
00:52:32You know?
00:52:33So stop meddling.
00:52:35I am so pissed off.
00:52:38He always gets me heated.
00:52:43Is that Emma and David in there?
00:53:01Hey!
00:53:03Fancy seeing you here.
00:53:04What is this?
00:53:05Time to fess up.
00:53:06This is too far.
00:53:07I told you he was playing you.
00:53:09There's your proof.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11Just let him understand and admit his feelings for you.
00:53:13This is our plan B.
00:53:15Let's continue the scene.
00:53:16Okay.
00:53:17Actually, they are just...
00:53:18Oh, no!
00:53:19You caught us!
00:53:23I won't let them take you from me.
00:53:25And you know what?
00:53:25Emma's hotter than you anyway, Mia.
00:53:29Oh, my God!
00:53:34I hope I didn't get my ass kicked for nothing.
00:53:37And she still owes us big time, right, Emma?
00:53:42Emma, why are you so quiet?
00:53:48Who said you can kiss me?
00:53:52Emma, wait!
00:53:57So you followed me because you were worried about me?
00:54:02You were right.
00:54:04I have to be honest.
00:54:13I've been meaning to ask.
00:54:15What is this actually for?
00:54:17It detects your heart, right?
00:54:20So you giving it to me was intentional?
00:54:38I have to be honest.
00:54:39He can't see my plan.
00:54:41No!
00:54:53Professor Bryant.
00:54:58Professor Bryant.
00:55:01Call me Leo.
00:55:02Leo?
00:55:03Don't you think that's dangerous?
00:55:06I think we crossed that line a long time ago.
00:55:10What do you mean by that?
00:55:12I can't take my eyes off you.
00:55:14I'm always worried about you.
00:55:17Why?
00:55:19I don't need your sympathy.
00:55:27Leo.
00:55:40What more do you want from me?
00:55:42How about a video of him saying that he loves you?
00:55:45Do you love me?
00:55:54I need some time.
00:55:56Okay, how's 24 days?
00:56:00That's oddly specific.
00:56:03I just can't wait.
00:56:06I need to take care of something first.
00:56:08What is it?
00:56:12Actually, I'm married.
00:56:20Actually, I'm married.
00:56:23It was something my parents arranged.
00:56:25I swear, I haven't touched her.
00:56:29I'm going to handle it as soon as possible.
00:56:32It's too late for that.
00:56:35Get out.
00:56:45If I had known he was married, I never would have gone after him.
00:56:52Sorry, I sent the wrong picture.
00:56:54This is my son.
00:56:56Let's go diving sometime.
00:56:58He looks familiar.
00:57:04I am on the wilderness safari.
00:57:06Leave a message if you need any.
00:57:17Do you want a divorce?
00:57:20I shouldn't have had you move in.
00:57:23Take this as an apology.
00:57:25Let's talk about this later.
00:57:27I don't feel very good.
00:57:30Can we stay like this?
00:57:37It's my parents' death anniversary very soon.
00:57:47I've already made up my mind.
00:57:50I'm not moving out.
00:57:52Then I'm leaving.
00:58:01Mia, why don't I ask her?
00:58:05Mia, why don't I ask her?
00:58:06It's her.
00:58:08Again.
00:58:12What do you want from me?
00:58:14Well, we both hate Mia, right?
00:58:17Such a bitch took my spot on Professor Brian's project team.
00:58:22Not to mention, she's a homewrecker.
00:58:25Such a bitch.
00:58:27What do you think about revenge?
00:58:29Let's take her down.
00:58:31What's the plan?
00:58:48Here are the plans for the press conference.
00:58:58Professor, what's your wife like?
00:59:02She means nothing to me.
00:59:04Then why did you marry her?
00:59:07Mia.
00:59:08I'm sorry, I...
00:59:10If I crush this press conference, then can you promise me something?
00:59:16What?
00:59:18Promise me you'll introduce me to your wife.
00:59:26You really want to meet her?
00:59:29This is going to be the best press conference anyone has ever seen.
00:59:39All right.
00:59:40I promise.
00:59:44Whoa!
00:59:44He really does look like Leah.
00:59:46What are they, twins or something?
00:59:49Did Lily give your husband those divorce papers?
00:59:52No.
00:59:54She's been avoiding me for some reason.
00:59:57Do you think Lily's new boy toy is your husband?
01:00:02I wouldn't put it past him.
01:00:03There's no way.
01:00:04We've been best friends for forever.
01:00:08Anyway, can someone help me with the conference?
01:00:11I need to figure out how to get more engagement.
01:00:16Oh my god.
01:00:17What's wrong?
01:00:20Someone's calling Mia a homewrecker on the campus forums.
01:00:23Shit.
01:00:24No one's going to believe her.
01:00:25What are we going to do?
01:00:32Those people are so crazy.
01:00:35Talking about you are disgusting.
01:00:38You shouldn't have to go through this.
01:00:41Thanks.
01:00:42It's like every time I open my phone.
01:00:44Oh wait.
01:00:47Take this.
01:00:50This guy helps me a lot.
01:00:52He helped me to delay the application once.
01:00:55He's a kind of weird person.
01:00:57But he's also reliable.
01:01:01Are you sure?
01:01:02Absolutely.
01:01:03Just tell him Lil sent you.
01:01:05And then he might be giving you a discount.
01:01:10Okay.
01:01:12Remember to say a good word for me to Professor Bryant.
01:01:18Yeah.
01:01:34Victor?
01:01:36Babe.
01:01:41I've already wiped 90% of the search results.
01:01:44Want me to take care of the Twitter mirrors too?
01:01:46Um.
01:01:47Yeah.
01:01:48Sure.
01:01:51It's amazing.
01:01:53You're amazing.
01:01:54People have no idea what real digital control means.
01:01:58You know.
01:01:59I can even make every man forget you ever existed.
01:02:12Wait.
01:02:14Victor Monroe.
01:02:17Wait.
01:02:30Victor Monroe.
01:02:32What do you?
01:02:33Stop.
01:02:34Somebody help me.
01:02:36Stop it.
01:02:37Stop.
01:02:39Get out.
01:02:41Somebody help me.
01:02:42Hey.
01:02:43Please.
01:02:44Oh.
01:02:50Leo.
01:02:51Leo.
01:02:51Stop.
01:02:51Stop.
01:02:52I'll take care of you.
01:02:53Alright.
01:02:54And please you're on the way.
01:02:58Come on.
01:02:59Get the hell out of here.
01:03:00Come on.
01:03:01It's okay.
01:03:02We're safe now.
01:03:05You're safe now.
01:03:07You're safe now.
01:03:09I'm so glad you're okay.
01:03:13Thank you for saving me.
01:03:15I'm still so scared even now.
01:03:18I was afraid I might lose you.
01:03:23You should get some rest.
01:03:53No kissing.
01:03:55Not yet.
01:03:57Why?
01:04:00You have a wife.
01:04:02Hello.
01:04:04In the middle of the night.
01:04:08No matter what.
01:04:13Dream I was.
01:04:15See you at the conference tomorrow.
01:04:18Professor Bryant.
01:04:21In the middle of the night.
01:04:25Follow your right.
01:04:28Humans crave intimacy.
01:04:30Unfortunately.
01:04:32We find it hard to express ourselves.
01:04:35The Bryant Group's AI uses emotional computing to expand the limits of virtual companion chip.
01:04:47And I can't believe I did it.
01:04:49You did a great job.
01:04:51I'll keep my promise.
01:04:53Please welcome Mr. Lee O'Brien.
01:04:56CEO of Bryant Group.
01:05:02And thank you to Mia Rose for a wonderful speech.
01:05:06I couldn't have said it better myself.
01:05:09The Bryant Group is at the forefront of AI companionship technology.
01:05:13And with your help, we plan to continue that for many years to come.
01:05:19Leo, Brian, and Mia Rose.
01:05:24He's my husband.
01:05:28He's my husband.
01:05:30He's my husband.
01:05:31He's my husband.
01:05:37Hello everyone.
01:05:43Let me introduce myself as Leo's wife.
01:05:49What are you doing?
01:05:50How long are you going to hide me baby?
01:05:54Hey, let's go this way.
01:05:55Come on.
01:05:56Let me go.
01:05:57Let me go.
01:05:57Leo, I love you.
01:06:00Let me go.
01:06:01Leo Baby, I love you.
01:06:03Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:16I mean, what happened?
01:06:18We just saw Mia running out.
01:06:20Where'd she go?
01:06:35You're useless as ever.
01:06:39Once a crybaby, always a crybaby.
01:06:42Really?
01:06:45Actually, I should thank you.
01:06:48Because Mia and Neil hit it off and I moved in with him.
01:06:54What?
01:06:55Well, you know him.
01:06:58He's icy.
01:07:00But not with me, of course.
01:07:03You are ruining everything.
01:07:08Why wouldn't you tell me sooner?
01:07:10He didn't want to hurt your feelings.
01:07:13But he said he would get rid of you.
01:07:16I know, Leon.
01:07:18He would never do that to me.
01:07:20Oh, yeah?
01:07:23Well, let's wait and see who we all choose.
01:07:32Mia!
01:07:40Mia!
01:07:44Where the hell is Mia?
01:07:47I know where she is.
01:07:52Where?
01:07:54Why did you crash the press conference?
01:08:04She's there.
01:08:13You did that on purpose.
01:08:15Yes, and if I can't have you, no one can.
01:08:21Mia!
01:08:28The final step in Mia's guide to romance.
01:08:32An avoidant attachment style can protect you from getting hurt.
01:08:38Mia, I'm sorry.
01:08:40I didn't mean to get you wrapped up in all of this.
01:08:43Nothing happened.
01:08:45Please believe me.
01:08:47Leo, it's all my fault.
01:08:50I'm not good at expressing myself.
01:08:54I kept ignoring my feelings for you.
01:08:57I'm sorry.
01:08:58I started all of this.
01:09:00You don't have to forgive me.
01:09:02Just please let me come in and make sure you're okay.
01:09:07Mia?
01:09:08Mia?
01:09:14Guess what?
01:09:16I have a bunny go open.
01:09:30Mia?
01:09:31Professor Brian?
01:09:33I need to come clean.
01:09:36This has been an experiment all along.
01:09:38An experiment?
01:09:40I've been using you as a guinea pig to prove my research.
01:09:45Mia, what are you talking about?
01:09:47I've been planning this from the beginning.
01:09:49This fitness tracker?
01:09:52I've been using it to collect data.
01:09:55I never really loved you.
01:09:57So now we're Ethan.
01:09:59I don't believe you.
01:10:02The experiment is over.
01:10:05We're over.
01:10:11You're quitting your experiment?
01:10:13Why?
01:10:15I just can't do it.
01:10:17Worst case scenario, I'll just graduate late, okay?
01:10:20Graduate late?
01:10:21That's not like you.
01:10:23Sorry to disappoint you, Professor.
01:10:39Wait.
01:10:41Are you crying?
01:10:43What's wrong?
01:10:47Mia, I don't have much time.
01:10:48I'm going away on a business trip.
01:10:50Safe travels.
01:10:51Please.
01:10:52I want to tell you something.
01:10:53Just listen to me.
01:10:56I...
01:10:59What's that?
01:11:00I know you have a wife.
01:11:02And I know she's pregnant.
01:11:04Take care.
01:11:04I got a dark side.
01:11:07They try to tell me I should hide my scary dark side.
01:11:14I try to act like I got it all under control.
01:11:19You look like a mess, man.
01:11:23Thanks.
01:11:23Why don't you expose Lily for the bitch that she is?
01:11:27Because she used to be my friend.
01:11:31And besides, she's pregnant now.
01:11:35How do you know it's Leo's?
01:11:38It doesn't matter, okay?
01:11:40Leo left.
01:11:41And he's already dead to me.
01:11:45Stop moping around.
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:48You know what?
01:11:49Get your ass up.
01:11:50We're going to the graduation party tonight.
01:11:54All I remember is we stayed up way past three.
01:11:59Think we're falling hard and I blame gravity.
01:12:03Now it's morning.
01:12:04I can't catch your breath.
01:12:06Hold your breath.
01:12:22Not the halo effect again.
01:12:27Split the wishbone to the straws.
01:12:32I had no idea Professor Brian was going to be here tonight.
01:12:35I heard he's a starry knight.
01:12:38That's a stupid name.
01:12:40Come on.
01:12:41The starry knight ball is a school tradition.
01:12:44Every year the student council picks three nights
01:12:46and at the end of the ball we get to bid for it
01:12:49to see who gets the chance to dance.
01:12:51It's fun, isn't it?
01:12:53It's today.
01:12:54You should place a bid.
01:12:55Or are you going to watch him dance with somebody else?
01:12:57Emma, cut it out, okay?
01:12:59I didn't come here to dance with Leo.
01:13:01I came here for the student lineup photos.
01:13:04So he can dance with whoever he wants to.
01:13:07Come on, Mia.
01:13:08It's been a whole week.
01:13:09How are you really going to wear this gorgeous dress
01:13:11just to hide in the corner like some painting on the wall?
01:13:14Are you really okay with this?
01:13:17Look at him.
01:13:18Standing there.
01:13:19Like, nothing ever happens.
01:13:21Swing up all that attention from those love-struck girls.
01:13:25Even if you are moving on,
01:13:27you should at least tell him to his face.
01:13:29Where's the fearless mirror from before?
01:13:31Don't you want to know what he's thinking?
01:13:32Don't you have the guts to place a bid?
01:13:39Hey, everybody.
01:13:40Welcome to the Starry Night party.
01:13:43First up, please welcome our knights of the Starry Night.
01:13:48First up, we'll auction off Sir Leo Bryan.
01:13:58Five hundred.
01:14:01Six hundred.
01:14:05Eight hundred.
01:14:08One thousand.
01:14:10One thousand five hundred.
01:14:12One thousand five hundred.
01:14:14Look, they're about to get what they want.
01:14:16Maybe he's waiting for you.
01:14:18But you want to know what he has to say?
01:14:20Two thousand!
01:14:21Two thousand a year!
01:14:23Or maybe he'll tell Amy that Mia is such a fool.
01:14:34Three thousand dollars!
01:14:39Three thousand coin once.
01:14:42Three thousand coin twice.
01:14:45And sold!
01:14:50Three thousand.
01:14:50Five hundred.
01:14:51Three thousand.
01:15:05Nine hundred.
01:15:05Four thousand.
01:15:06Three thousand.
01:15:08Three thousand.
01:15:10Three thousand.
01:15:11Speak.
01:15:13That's right.
01:15:14You can hurt me as much as you like.
01:15:16You paid for me.
01:15:20Shouldn't we end this now?
01:15:23Don't be so hasty, Doctor.
01:15:26That's not supposed to work.
01:15:32You're the real Mia.
01:15:35My Mia.
01:15:38Although I have to admit,
01:15:40getting someone to pretend to be you is creative.
01:15:45Lily isn't pregnant.
01:15:48Anson checked.
01:15:50The tests were fake.
01:15:54What?
01:15:57Shall we get out of here?
01:15:59Mrs. Bryant.
01:16:09Are you in a rush or something?
01:16:12I'm just trying to make up for lost time.
01:16:14We can't turn back the clock.
01:16:18So let's make the most of every moment now.
01:16:27So, what's your theory behind our love?
01:16:29So shine bright.
01:16:32Let me run some calculations.
01:16:38I love.
01:16:41You have to say the magic words.
01:16:45I.
01:16:46Love.
01:16:48You.
01:16:49You.
01:16:50Nothing can stop you.
01:16:52No.
01:16:53Nothing can stop you.
01:16:56Follow your heart.
01:16:57I won't stay wrong.
01:17:06Go.
01:17:07Get out.
01:17:08You can't do this to me.
01:17:10You're just a maid.
01:17:11I'm gonna say this to Leo.
01:17:14I'm not a maid.
01:17:15I am his mother.
01:17:17There he is.
01:17:19Go ahead.
01:17:20Tell him.
01:17:21Leo.
01:17:24Mia, you tricked me too.
01:17:30Mia, you tricked me too.
01:17:33Then why did you steal her ring?
01:17:36Mia?
01:17:36I'm so sorry.
01:17:38I missed you.
01:17:38Don't ever speak to me again.
01:17:41Don't touch me.
01:17:43Mia!
01:17:49If you change your mind,
01:17:51you have three more days to submit your paper.
01:17:54Thank you so much, Professor.
01:17:57What was that?
01:18:02So, congratulations, Dr. Rose.
01:18:05Thank you, Professor Hugo.
01:18:11Congratulations, baby.
01:18:13Looks like my experiment is over.
01:18:16I am not done researching.
01:18:19How much I love you.
01:18:25Hey!
01:18:26You stole something.
01:18:28What?
01:18:29Come closer.
01:18:31Closer.
01:18:36There.
01:18:37Now we're even.
01:18:40Emma!
01:18:41Wait!
01:18:51Leo?
01:18:53Are you here?
01:19:13You're just in time.
01:19:15Leo, you did all of this for me?
01:19:18I'll never be alone again.
01:19:30Miros?
01:19:32Will he be my wife?
01:19:35Again.
01:19:40Miros?
01:19:42Will he be my wife?
01:19:45Again.
01:19:46Of course.
01:20:03By the way, I saw your little whiteboard experiment the first time I came here.
01:20:10What?
01:20:11I'm just glad I was your guinea pig.
01:20:13Looks like you've been studying up on Mi's Guide to Romance.
01:20:17I've done some research of my own.
01:20:21Can we talk about anything else?
01:20:25No.
01:20:26Your professor has some academic theories he'd like to discuss with you.
01:20:32For example, where he should begin kissing you.
01:20:38Here.
01:20:43Here.
01:20:48Here.
01:20:53Here.
01:20:54It's all that I want.
01:20:55All that I'm asking.
01:20:56All about.
01:20:57Here.
01:20:59Here.
01:21:02Love, love, love me
01:21:05Right, Professor Bryant, I think we should continue this conversation elsewhere
01:21:09Love, love, love me
01:21:14As I am
