Episode: 2
Tess attempts to slip away quietly, but Knox spots blood on the sheets and pulls her back into bed. He offers her a choice between staying with him or taking a hundred thousand dollars. Tess chooses the money to pay for George's medical care and leaves. Knox realizes he never asked her name. Tess visits the hospital, where George spots a mark on her neck and angrily confronts her.
Tess tries to sneak away, but Knox notices the virgin stain and yanks her wrist. He gives her a choice between being his woman or accepting cash. Tess picks the funds for her grandfather, and Knox lets her go before realizing he forgot her name.
Tess walks through the hospital corridor and thinks about the dangerous man from the bedroom. She holds the money and feels relief knowing she finally has enough cash to pay for George's upcoming surgery.
Tess enters George's room to say hello. George looks up and notices a dark hickey on her neck. Tess claims it is a bug bite, but George rejects her excuse and angrily demands answers from her.
“Be my woman. Or a hundred grand.”
“I'll take the money.”
“Damn. I forgot to ask her name.”
“Don't lie to me. That's a hickey. Who did this to you? Don't tell me you were selling yourself...”
George stares directly at the mark on Tess's neck and refuses to believe her excuse about an insect bite. He angrily asks if she sold herself to someone for cash. Will Tess tell her grandfather the truth about Knox, or will she come up with another lie to protect him?
