00:00:00Before we eat, Mom, Dad, I just wanted to say thanks.
00:00:22Thanks for all the care, thanks for raising me.
00:00:25We couldn't have asked for a better daughter.
00:00:28Hey, we're still waiting on our thanks over here.
00:00:31You know, your brothers who put up with you all the time.
00:00:34Okay, let's get a selfie.
00:00:47Adeline, we need to talk.
00:00:54I promised Ella that we'd tell you on your 23rd birthday.
00:00:58Ella?
00:01:01Your biological mother.
00:01:04What?
00:01:05I know this is a lot to take in at the moment, but-
00:01:07No, wait, why would you-
00:01:12I'm adopted?
00:01:14And you've been keeping it from me this whole time?
00:01:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:01:19This can't be real.
00:01:20Addie!
00:01:21Addie!
00:01:23Adeline!
00:01:25Adeline?
00:01:26Happy birthday.
00:01:28Addie, wait!
00:01:29Let her go.
00:01:31She'll come around.
00:01:32What happened?
00:01:34We just broke the news.
00:01:36I assume she didn't take it well.
00:01:39At least you don't have to lie to her anymore.
00:01:43Hey, Aunt Evelyn.
00:01:48Ian, I've missed you.
00:01:49I've missed you too.
00:01:51Why are we in Adeline's room?
00:01:53Your room has a much better view.
00:01:58Adeline!
00:02:13Evelyn!
00:02:14Stop!
00:02:15Stop, Evelyn!
00:02:16You're gonna kill him!
00:02:17That's the point!
00:02:18Everything in my life, right?
00:02:19My reputation, me!
00:02:21My status.
00:02:23The UN group.
00:02:25So what am I gonna do about my parents?
00:02:30Arsenic, trioxide.
00:02:33A simple problem, you have a simple solution.
00:02:37Darling.
00:02:44Don't worry too much about Adeline.
00:02:49She'll understand.
00:02:50She just needs time to process it.
00:02:52I hope so.
00:02:58Now, back to the topic at hand.
00:03:02I've given it some thought, Leah.
00:03:05And I think you were right.
00:03:08The UN group should prioritize social responsibility.
00:03:13I've already turned down the Moore group.
00:03:15All you need to do is sign the agreement.
00:03:20All you need to do is sign here.
00:03:23And then we can move on to the next steps.
00:03:40Sweet dreams.
00:04:19All right, here's what we have so far.
00:04:23After you left the premises, your brother Ian and Miss Rutherford went after you.
00:04:28Leaving your parents alone.
00:04:29And not wanting to deal with the scandal or the massive debt.
00:04:34Looks like they committed murder-suicide with arsenic trioxide.
00:04:38Wait, debt?
00:04:39I've never heard anything about any debt.
00:04:41And they wouldn't commit suicide!
00:04:43There's something missing!
00:04:44You need to keep looking!
00:04:45Sorry, Miss Vanderbilt.
00:04:46Take the time to process this however you need.
00:04:49I was expecting you to take this easy.
00:04:51But the world is as honest as you would think.
00:05:00Good work.
00:05:08Now that Leah's gone, I want Ella and Gray's kid found as soon as possible.
00:05:14Buy them off.
00:05:15Bury them.
00:05:16I do not care.
00:05:17I just want them gone.
00:05:20All these rats trying to sink their teeth into what's mine.
00:05:24Don't worry about it.
00:05:26I'm working on it.
00:05:34What are you doing here?
00:05:36Dad has a message for you.
00:05:38He wants me working at the UN group.
00:05:40Oh, Ray.
00:05:42Ray, my darling, darling son.
00:05:46You still won't call me mom.
00:05:49Only if I have to.
00:06:15I need your help.
00:06:21I want into the UN group.
00:06:26I want into the UN group.
00:06:28Why do you want to work for the UN?
00:06:32My parents.
00:06:34I don't buy this whole suicide story.
00:06:36There's something else that's missing.
00:06:38And I want to look around my mom's office.
00:06:40Well, you've come to the wrong guy.
00:06:43The one in charge of new hires is my stepmother.
00:06:46Yeah, I know.
00:06:47But Evelyn completely cut me off after what happened.
00:06:52So you're really my only hope right now.
00:06:57Also, I heard she may have been involved in the death of your mother.
00:07:06So if we work together, then it could benefit us both.
00:07:13My cooperation isn't cheap.
00:07:18Just name your price.
00:07:21Don't look at me like that.
00:07:23It reminds me of the time you rejected me back in high school.
00:07:26Ah, forget it.
00:07:29What I'm worried about is Evelyn might notice
00:07:32if we start snooping around without pretenses.
00:07:36There is an option, but...
00:07:40What?
00:07:40How do you feel about arranged marriages?
00:07:54Ian, what are you doing here?
00:07:55I thought you'd be asleep by now.
00:07:57Adeline.
00:08:01Please marry me.
00:08:05Please marry me.
00:08:08I have loved you.
00:08:10For so long.
00:08:12And now I feel like I can finally let you know.
00:08:15No, you're my brother.
00:08:17It doesn't matter if I'm adopted or not.
00:08:18That fact will never change.
00:08:25How do you feel about arranged marriages?
00:08:27Hi, Uncle Christopher.
00:08:28Ray told me to report to you.
00:08:30Adeline.
00:08:33I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:08:34But welcome to the U.N. group.
00:08:36And please, just call me Chris.
00:08:38Thank you, Uncle Chris.
00:08:40My family will always be with me, and I know that.
00:08:45Hi, Mr. Wilson.
00:08:46I'm Naomi, here for the final round of interviews as scheduled.
00:08:49Naomi.
00:08:51I'm very sorry, but the position has been filled.
00:08:56But I was told there'd be a final round of interviews.
00:09:01Could I at least get a chance?
00:09:03I'm very sorry.
00:09:07Wait.
00:09:08I don't want the position at the expense of someone else.
00:09:11Uncle Chris, no.
00:09:12Invite Naomi back, and we'll conduct the final round of interviews.
00:09:15And you can judge us both based on credentials.
00:09:20You know, Adeline, she's far more qualified than you are.
00:09:26You know, Adeline, she's far more qualified than you are.
00:09:29Then it'll at least be fair.
00:09:32Congratulations, Miss Adeline Vanderbilt.
00:09:35You passed our little test.
00:09:36As per Mrs. Rutherford's instructions, you'll be starting with us tomorrow.
00:09:55I think things went well.
00:09:57I passed their exclusive interview today, and to start work tomorrow.
00:10:01Things are going well on my end, too.
00:10:03Our marital home is almost ready.
00:10:06You know, you can still back out of this, Adeline.
00:10:09I promised you I would do it, didn't I?
00:10:12Unless you're having second thoughts.
00:10:14Never.
00:10:27Hello, COO Assistant's office.
00:10:29My office now.
00:10:37For your first task, I want you to clean the toilet.
00:10:48For your first task, I want you to clean the toilet.
00:10:52I want it spotless.
00:10:53Clean enough to drink from.
00:10:55Do all new employees have to do this?
00:10:59Of course not.
00:11:01Just you.
00:11:03Oh.
00:11:04Of course, if you find this beneath you.
00:11:06You can leave your badge at reception on your way out.
00:11:09No, no, no, no.
00:11:10I'd be happy to.
00:11:16It's done.
00:11:37Drink it.
00:11:56Drink it.
00:11:57Pardon?
00:11:58Drink it.
00:12:02I said that I wanted the toilet clean enough to drink from.
00:12:06So drink it.
00:12:08Unless you'd like to admit you slapped off on your job the first day.
00:12:13No, I'd be happy to.
00:12:17As soon as HR is here to watch me.
00:12:22Aunt Evelyn, I've always respected your influence on this company
00:12:26and your partnership with my mother.
00:12:28I don't understand why you suddenly decided to treat me like this.
00:12:31I had hoped we could grieve together.
00:12:34Apparently not.
00:12:36It's alright if you don't like me.
00:12:39I'll keep my distance so we can coexist peacefully.
00:12:42I'll leave you to your work.
00:13:05Yeah.
00:13:06Why'd you let Adeline into the UM group in the first place?
00:13:09Ray wanted it.
00:13:12And I couldn't just refuse without any reasons.
00:13:15Steven would have started asking questions.
00:13:20I planned on firing her later on.
00:13:23Adeline's a lot like Leah.
00:13:25Don't say her name.
00:13:28You know that lead about Gray and Ella's mystery kid?
00:13:32It ends with Leah.
00:13:33Leah and I found Adeline.
00:13:35It's impossible for her to be Ella's child.
00:13:38You were in love with Gray back then, weren't you?
00:13:42If he had an illegitimate child, you would have known about it, right?
00:13:46I would have gotten rid of it and Gray knew that.
00:13:50He stopped me then.
00:13:53He can't stop me now.
00:13:55I want this bastard kid found.
00:14:06Adeline, what a pleasant surprise.
00:14:09I have an announcement to make.
00:14:11Not now, dear.
00:14:13Let's eat first.
00:14:16Adeline, let me show you to your seat.
00:14:21Oh, thank you, Evelyn.
00:14:27Please, have a seat.
00:14:35Bring another set of cutlery.
00:14:51This is my house, Adeline.
00:14:54And I really don't feel like sharing a meal with you.
00:14:57Evelyn, don't be rude.
00:14:59It's okay, Mr. Mutherford.
00:15:02I'll just present my gift now.
00:15:05I was going to wait until after Ray made his announcement.
00:15:09I guess I'll just show it now.
00:15:11Coincidentally, it is a set of cutlery.
00:15:16We got married.
00:15:18That set is a greeting gift from her as my newlywed wife.
00:15:24You got married?
00:15:24That's wonderful.
00:15:25Absolutely not.
00:15:27I did not give permission for this.
00:15:30I don't need your permission for anything, let alone this.
00:15:33My father and I are the true Rutherfords,
00:15:36and I expect you to treat my wife with respect.
00:15:52Ian, where are you?
00:15:54I'm not feeling well today.
00:15:55I want to see you.
00:15:57Uh, I can't, Evelyn.
00:15:59I'm a little busy.
00:16:03Beep.
00:16:08Be stupid.
00:16:20Hey.
00:16:21Ray.
00:16:23Really?
00:16:24You turned me down for Ray Rutherford?
00:16:27What's wrong with Ray?
00:16:30He's a great guy.
00:16:31He's kind.
00:16:32He's handsome.
00:16:33And he barely even knows you.
00:16:36Adeline, we have lived together for over 20 years.
00:16:41Yeah, as siblings.
00:16:44That doesn't matter to me.
00:16:47I don't care.
00:16:49I will wait for you forever, if that's what it takes.
00:16:55Please let go of me, brother.
00:16:57Ian, I'll be waiting in the guest room.
00:17:02Not now, Evelyn.
00:17:03How do you think your precious little Addie will feel
00:17:07when she finds out how you just stood by and watched
00:17:11as I killed your parents and little brother?
00:17:15How do you think she'd react?
00:17:18You connive me.
00:17:20I'll be waiting.
00:17:22I'll be waiting.
00:17:23I'll be waiting.
00:17:24I'll be waiting.
00:17:24I'll be waiting.
00:17:25I'll be waiting.
00:17:26I'll be waiting.
00:17:37So good.
00:17:39Darling, put a little more effort into it.
00:17:45Just so good.
00:17:56Eveline, what is the meaning of this?
00:18:22Where are you?
00:18:23I need to talk to you.
00:18:24I'm going to the upstairs guest room.
00:18:25I'll be down soon.
00:18:26Wait for me.
00:18:27Five minutes.
00:18:28Ray, there's something going on in the upstairs guest room, so we have to hurry.
00:18:29Hold on a second.
00:18:56Cheers.
00:18:57I can't believe that worked.
00:19:00To our wedding night.
00:19:01Okay, so why don't we talk about next steps?
00:19:04You know, I'm feeling a little bit tired.
00:19:08Let's talk about that tomorrow.
00:19:10Yeah.
00:19:12Um, you can have the bed.
00:19:14I don't mind sleeping in the chair.
00:19:15I used to sleep in the one in Brandon's room all the time.
00:19:18Reminds me of that time on the swing set.
00:19:22What are you talking about?
00:19:24You forgot all about it, huh?
00:19:27Well, I can't say I'm not mad.
00:19:30Maybe just a little.
00:19:31But here, allow me to sleep in the armchair.
00:19:34I mean, how unchivalrous would it be if I allowed my princess to sleep in an armchair?
00:19:38Princess?
00:19:40Well, you told me you turned me down because you didn't have romance on your mind at the time.
00:19:44What about now?
00:19:47You're being awfully coy.
00:19:49It's called being a tease, sweetheart.
00:19:52And that look on your face is the best part about it.
00:19:56Your princess would like you to go to bed, for she has work tomorrow.
00:20:03No, nod your head, or shake your head, I guess.
00:20:09That was your goodnight kiss, princess.
00:20:12Goodnight.
00:20:14Worth it.
00:20:23Congratulations, Mrs. Rutherford.
00:20:29Congratulations, Mrs. Rutherford.
00:20:32Good morning, Miss Stanley.
00:20:34Fess up, girl.
00:20:35Were you the one who orchestrated that big reveal on the flat screen?
00:20:40Why are you blaming my daughter-in-law for your own choices?
00:20:44Stephen.
00:20:45Stay away from me.
00:20:46In fact, you disgust me.
00:20:48My lawyers will be in contact shortly.
00:20:50You think you're going to get rid of me that easy?
00:20:53You're dead wrong.
00:20:54My son is married now.
00:20:56This house has a new mistress, and I can go off and enjoy myself.
00:21:00And I'm leaving everything to her.
00:21:05Please prepare Miss Stanley's breakfast with the finest cutlery that we have.
00:21:09I want to treat our guests with the utmost respect.
00:21:13Dream on.
00:21:15As long as I am here, I am in charge.
00:21:21As long as I am here, I am in charge.
00:21:32Miss Rutherford, I have to ask.
00:21:36Are you suddenly in charge of the UM group?
00:21:40Not at all, ma'am.
00:21:41Good to know.
00:21:42Now tell me, why do I suddenly want you gone from my company?
00:21:47Aunt Evelyn, I really don't understand why you hate me so much.
00:21:51I also don't understand how my mother put up with you for so long.
00:21:56The question you should be asking is why I put up with her.
00:22:01You and your mother.
00:22:03You are idealistic fools.
00:22:06If it wasn't for my practicality and my resources, the UM group would have died long ago.
00:22:14Oh, Adeline.
00:22:18Tell me.
00:22:20Did Leah ever mention an Ella to you?
00:22:26What?
00:22:27Forget it.
00:22:28If you've never heard of her, let's keep it that way.
00:22:38Thief.
00:22:39There's a thief in the office.
00:22:42Adeline stole my ring.
00:22:44Somebody help.
00:22:45What's going on?
00:22:46She has my ring on her.
00:22:47I know it.
00:22:48Strip her naked until you find it.
00:22:49No, don't touch me.
00:22:53Strip her naked until you find it.
00:22:55Don't touch me.
00:22:56If you do, I'll have no choice but to press charges.
00:22:58If you think I'm the culprit, you should call the police and let them handle it.
00:23:02Fine.
00:23:03Keep an eye on her.
00:23:04And no funny business.
00:23:07All right.
00:23:08What happened?
00:23:09She stole my ring, officer.
00:23:11My diamond ring worth $50,000.
00:23:15Officer, the ring is in the drawer, but I did not steal it.
00:23:25Ma'am, we're going to need you to come down to the station with us.
00:23:29I want my lawyer.
00:23:30That's fine.
00:23:37I understand, ma'am.
00:23:39But you have to admit, it's hard not to suspect you in this case.
00:23:43I mean, your fingerprints were found all over her ring.
00:23:46And I find it hard to believe that Miss Stanley just threw her ring into your drawer.
00:23:52Officer, I...
00:23:55Wait, I've met you before.
00:23:57You were at the house.
00:23:59You were the one that ruled my family's case as a murder-suicide.
00:24:03Let's stay focused on the subject, please.
00:24:07Officer, I have my lawyer currently searching through the surveillance footage from my office,
00:24:11and I am confident that it will prove my innocence.
00:24:22You can't keep doing this!
00:24:24I'll pay you double.
00:24:26Money isn't the issue here!
00:24:28If the truth came out, I accepted the charges.
00:24:30Money isn't the issue here!
00:24:32If the truth came out, I accepted a bribe to cover up a murder.
00:24:35My career is over!
00:24:37No amount of money can fix that!
00:24:48Gather all the staff for a meeting.
00:24:50No one leaves until I say so.
00:25:00Okay.
00:25:25What is this?
00:25:27Arsenic trioxide.
00:25:29It's colorless, odorless, and works about as quick as you can imagine.
00:25:34Arsenic trioxide.
00:25:37Arsenic...
00:25:38Oh my God!
00:25:39This is what they found at the scene when my parents died.
00:25:42And look at these records I found in the notebook.
00:25:44Dates, letters, numbers.
00:25:47M&S are used quite often.
00:25:49I just can't figure out why yet.
00:25:52Aunt Evelyn.
00:25:54I wanted to be her when I was young.
00:25:55She was so confident and determined.
00:25:58Then how's it come to this?
00:26:00She's always been like this.
00:26:02What you knew of her was just a front she put on for your mother.
00:26:06Listen.
00:26:07We've concluded our evaluation of the house staff.
00:26:09We've replaced all the ones still loyal to Evelyn.
00:26:13Thank you.
00:26:14I've also come up with a plan to keep you safe.
00:26:17Just in case you try anything else.
00:26:20What?
00:26:28Thank you.
00:26:30I've noticed you've gone ahead and replaced half the staff in the house.
00:26:34Just thought we needed a change of pace.
00:26:36Fine.
00:26:37If I'm going to make concessions at home, so do you.
00:26:41Help me fix my reputation after the diamond ring incident.
00:26:45You tried to frame me for theft.
00:26:47You've proven innocent.
00:26:50Your words should be enough to clear my name, don't you think?
00:26:53Why would I help you?
00:26:54Because the UM group was like a child to your mother.
00:26:59Fine.
00:27:04Hi, Uncle Chris. Do you have a second to talk?
00:27:07Because I was...
00:27:09I wanted to ask you about my mother.
00:27:14Of course.
00:27:24As you can see, Mrs. Rutherford and I are very close.
00:27:28And we're both very excited to be giving back to the community.
00:27:31To those who have supported the UM group since its founding.
00:27:36We acknowledge and prioritize our social responsibility to maintain a healthy environment.
00:27:41So this festival aims to create UM's new environment.
00:27:45And we're very excited to be giving back to the community.
00:27:48So this festival aims to create UM's new environment.
00:27:51So this festival aims to create UM charity ambassadors who are committed to giving back to the community.
00:28:01Ms. President, there is a video circulating online depicting your sexual escapades.
00:28:07Could you comment on the situation?
00:28:09I stand resolute against these attacks on my character.
00:28:13A woman's intimate relationships should hold no bearing to her image or career.
00:28:21Thank you.
00:28:29Good job.
00:28:30I made sure to word it very clearly.
00:28:42Why do I have to go to the nursing home?
00:28:44That place is disgusting and smells of death.
00:28:51Why is everyone following me?
00:28:53Are they here to continue the interview?
00:28:55Ms. President, your microphone is still on.
00:29:01Ms. President, your microphone is still on.
00:29:04I heard everything you just said.
00:29:07What?
00:29:09Excuse me?
00:29:10Madam, we expected an official statement.
00:29:14Why do I have to go to the nursing home?
00:29:16That place is disgusting and smells of death.
00:29:21Sigh.
00:29:25Public opinion is heavily against you now, Evelyn.
00:29:29They may understand sexual freedom.
00:29:32Insulting the elderly?
00:29:34That's a can of worms you don't want to touch.
00:29:44Then find a way to cover it up.
00:29:49Bribe them.
00:29:50Or give them something else to chew on.
00:29:52You're failing at your job, Christopher.
00:29:55I'm failing?
00:29:57You should hear what those shareholders are saying.
00:29:59They are not happy.
00:30:01Please.
00:30:02The shareholders are nothing but unimaginative, soul-sucking parasites.
00:30:07I'll just tell them about my budding friendship with the Crown Prince of England.
00:30:13Who would question my leadership then?
00:30:19I swear to God, those shareholders only care about money.
00:30:24Well, they are shareholders.
00:30:26If we can find something that ties Evelyn to crime, then even they have to cut ties with her.
00:30:49You helped me secure this job, so...
00:30:52I didn't say anything.
00:30:54Thank you.
00:30:56Don't worry.
00:30:58We always will.
00:31:02Evelyn?
00:31:04Yes, I found your scarf.
00:31:07I'm coming down now.
00:31:18Thank you.
00:31:25Jesus Christ.
00:31:26Evelyn has a ton of financial transactions with an international business consulting company.
00:31:31Should we look it up?
00:31:33No need.
00:31:34It's Sophia's company.
00:31:35She's the Senator's wife.
00:31:38Wait.
00:31:39Sophia?
00:31:40Could that be the S?
00:31:42Maybe.
00:31:43What's your husband's name?
00:31:44Mason Martinez.
00:31:46So, M is probably for Mason.
00:31:47And with all these transactions, that means...
00:31:50That means that Evelyn is guilty of bribery.
00:31:55So, M is probably for Mason.
00:31:57And with all these transactions, that means...
00:31:59That means that Evelyn is guilty of bribery.
00:32:02I was careless.
00:32:03I didn't think Evelyn had dealings with Martinez.
00:32:06Do you know him?
00:32:08I mean, yeah. Evelyn's close friend with his wife.
00:32:10And my father used to attend his dinner parties.
00:32:13We need more proof.
00:32:16Hey, slow down.
00:32:19What?
00:32:21I don't know. Evelyn's all you've been thinking about lately.
00:32:24What about your new dashing knight?
00:32:30It's just...
00:32:31I feel like if I slow down, then everything will start to hurt again.
00:32:36Then let it hurt.
00:32:37You can't run from your feelings, Adeline.
00:32:40I'm here for you.
00:32:42For better, for worse.
00:32:45For richer, for poorer.
00:32:47And sickness and health.
00:32:54Evelyn, what the fuck are you doing in our room?
00:32:58Spare me, lovebirds.
00:33:01Ray, tell your father I am done sleeping alone.
00:33:05I will be waiting for him to come home.
00:33:07I will be waiting for him to come home.
00:33:10Do you not know what the word divorce means?
00:33:13Shh.
00:33:15Fine.
00:33:17You two just enjoy your happiness, and I am just going to drown my sorrows in love.
00:33:33Someone was feeling it tonight.
00:33:36I was thinking about Addie.
00:33:39Adeline is married, Ian.
00:33:42Whatever you think is or isn't going on with them, you're wrong.
00:33:48No.
00:33:50No, I still have a chance with her.
00:33:53Why are you talking about other women in front of me?
00:33:57Do you not care about my feelings at all?
00:34:00Like you cared when you killed my brother and my parents in front of me.
00:34:02They weren't even your biological family, so quit with the sentimental nonsense.
00:34:10Did Leah ever mention your biological parents?
00:34:15No.
00:34:17She just told me I was supposed to inherit her fortune as her eldest son.
00:34:21Leah has nothing.
00:34:25Everything was transferred to me.
00:34:27Then cut me in.
00:34:30Either for being her eldest son, or for being a witness to your bullshit.
00:34:37Well, you should have mentioned that while you were on top of me.
00:34:42I would have been more generous.
00:34:57Ian.
00:35:08Ian.
00:35:10What are you doing here?
00:35:12I work here now.
00:35:14From now on, I'm here to take care of you.
00:35:17So if you slip up...
00:35:18Excuse me, my dearest brother-in-law, but Adeline is in great care.
00:35:25We'll see.
00:35:28What are you doing here?
00:35:31Well, I had to come back to work at some point.
00:35:34Just didn't expect to find a fly buzzing around my princess.
00:35:38Well, get out of here, because I've got work to do.
00:35:41Your wish is my command.
00:35:51Give me an office.
00:35:54Why do you need an office?
00:35:57To be your boy toy.
00:36:00And to satisfy your needs any time you'd like.
00:36:07Well then, you have to promise to not even look in Adeline's direction.
00:36:16That can be done for a price.
00:36:27That can be done for a price.
00:36:33Give me an office.
00:36:36Uncle Chris, I need your administrator authorization for the 10-year development plan.
00:36:43Be careful with this.
00:36:45This password is for Adeline and me only.
00:36:49Of course.
00:36:57No information on Sophia?
00:37:00This password is for Adeline and me only.
00:37:28What are you doing?
00:37:30Ian.
00:37:36What are you doing?
00:37:38Ian, I'm working on the 10-year plan for the YUM group.
00:37:42I needed to collect some data that only the administrators have access to.
00:37:47I'm sorry.
00:37:49I'm sorry.
00:37:51I'm sorry.
00:37:53I'm sorry.
00:37:55I'm sorry.
00:37:57I need access too.
00:37:59Why use Adeline's computer? Can't you use your own?
00:38:03My computer has a virus, so I didn't want the administrator's password to get leaked or stolen or worse.
00:38:10So I decided it'd be easier to use Auntie Adeline's computer.
00:38:18You don't need to work so hard.
00:38:21Once I become the leader of the YUM group, I'll bring you right to the top.
00:38:25No question.
00:38:28Thanks.
00:38:30What are you two doing?
00:38:33Just, uh, reminiscing on some childhood memories.
00:38:37Don't lie to me. It's awfully suspicious that you two are alone.
00:38:42In the dark.
00:38:45No!
00:38:47Adeline, why are you dressed like that?
00:38:50Adeline, why are you dressed like that?
00:38:54Why do you think?
00:38:56Ian and I, we often partake in these little meetings, don't we, Ian?
00:39:05Wait, when did-
00:39:11That night at the wedding party.
00:39:14Ian,
00:39:15where were you when Brandon and Mom and Dad died?
00:39:20The police told me that you chased after me, but that's not the truth, is it?
00:39:27Who's here is Adeline Stanley.
00:39:32Adeline Stanley, you're under arrest as a suspect of bribery and fraud. Please come with me.
00:39:36Adeline Stanley, you're under arrest as a suspect of bribery and fraud. Please come with me.
00:39:56You made it just in time.
00:39:58She brought it on herself, princess. I was just a whistleblower.
00:40:07Amidst an ongoing bribery case implicating U.M. Group President Evelyn Stanley, previously known as Evelyn Rutherford,
00:40:16police executed a raid on Senator Mason Martinez's home, seizing a substantial amount of unclaimed cash and gold bars.
00:40:25You are a genius, Ray. Suggesting to start with Sophia first.
00:40:30But we uncovered their scheme way faster than I imagined.
00:40:33Hey now, don't give me all the credit. Those files you sent me were a huge help.
00:40:38You're too kind.
00:40:40You're my wife. Too kind doesn't exist in my vocabulary.
00:40:44You know, this house is starting to feel like a home again.
00:40:48News in the background, cooking in the kitchen.
00:40:52It's like I'm a kid again.
00:40:56You remind me a lot of my mother, you know that?
00:40:58Do you have a photo of her?
00:41:01Of course.
00:41:05Oh, she's beautiful.
00:41:13See?
00:41:16When Evelyn was getting taken away.
00:41:19I don't know, I should have been happy, but I...
00:41:22All I could think about was my mother.
00:41:24So I wound up making something that she used to cook.
00:41:27Hope that's okay.
00:41:29I'll eat anything you make.
00:41:32And Adeline, you're not alone. You know that, right?
00:41:37I know.
00:41:39I have you.
00:41:41Till death do us part.
00:41:46Tell me honestly, Addy.
00:41:48Auntie Evelyn brought this upon herself with the crimes she committed.
00:41:52It had nothing to do with it.
00:41:55So why were you on her computer that night?
00:41:58I already told you I was working on the company's 10-year project.
00:42:02When would I have had time to contact the police?
00:42:05And one last question.
00:42:08On your computer, do you have a picture of Evelyn?
00:42:11No.
00:42:13I don't.
00:42:15And one last question.
00:42:18On your birthday when mom and dad told you about your birth parents,
00:42:21did they give you anything?
00:42:25No, they didn't.
00:42:29You've changed, Addy.
00:42:31You're not the same girl I once knew.
00:42:34I still don't know where you were that night.
00:42:39This world can be cruel and insincere, but I believe in karma.
00:42:44I believe that if I face the world honestly, that good things will come my way.
00:42:50You should give that a try, brother.
00:42:59Would you like to see my birthmark?
00:43:03Oh, this photo.
00:43:06You've seen it before?
00:43:09Yeah, it was in Evelyn's notebook.
00:43:11This is the copy I got from Christopher.
00:43:14See that person there?
00:43:16That's Ella.
00:43:18She's my birth mother.
00:43:22I don't think Chris knows that.
00:43:26Well, thanks for showing me.
00:43:29I trust you.
00:43:35There's something I need to confess to you.
00:43:42You knew about my birth mother?
00:43:45Yes.
00:43:48For how long?
00:43:50Long before you came to me for help.
00:43:53Why didn't you tell me?
00:43:55I don't know. To protect you?
00:43:57I mean, with being Ella's daughter, Evelyn already wants you dead.
00:44:01I thought that if you knew, that would put you in more danger.
00:44:05Why does everyone think that they need to coddle me? I can handle the truth.
00:44:08I know. I know better than anybody.
00:44:11You're strong, smart, capable.
00:44:14But it would kill me to see you hurt from something that I could control.
00:44:18But you deserve to know everything. The good and the bad.
00:44:23Come on. Don't look at me like that.
00:44:26I'd rather you scream at me, curse at me.
00:44:29I think I just need to think.
00:44:32Alone.
00:44:33Alone.
00:44:38I'll take the guest room.
00:44:39No, no. This is my fault.
00:44:42I'll take the guest room.
00:44:49Goodnight.
00:44:51Be careful around Ian.
00:44:53Romantic rival or not, there's something off about him.
00:45:04You're not the same girl I once knew.
00:45:07But you deserve to know everything. The good and the bad.
00:45:27Ray!
00:45:30God, Ray.
00:45:31Here.
00:45:33Did you sleep on the floor?
00:45:40I love you.
00:45:41What?
00:45:42I've loved you since the first time we met in high school.
00:45:46Please, I don't care if you feel the same way.
00:45:48Just being around you is more than enough for me.
00:45:50Anything you want, consider it done.
00:45:52I'll pluck the moon out of the sky for you, if that's what you want.
00:45:57I love you.
00:45:58I want you by my side.
00:46:01Wait, wait, wait. Ray, Ray.
00:46:06You don't get to take that back.
00:46:07No, no, no, no. It's not that.
00:46:09It's...
00:46:10You're just going a little bit fast.
00:46:12Okay.
00:46:14Then I'll slow down a little.
00:46:28I love you.
00:46:52So you two are in love?
00:46:54Madly.
00:46:55Ray, stop.
00:47:03And we're married.
00:47:06All right, pay attention, you two.
00:47:08When your parents founded the UM Group, they had a goal.
00:47:11On the company's 25th anniversary,
00:47:13ownership should pass to the next generation.
00:47:16They did that.
00:47:17And they did it.
00:47:18And they did it.
00:47:19And they did it.
00:47:20And they did it.
00:47:21And ownership should pass to the next generation.
00:47:23They did this to ensure the group would remain attentive to current social issues.
00:47:29This sounds too idealistic.
00:47:31I thought so, too.
00:47:33But Evelyn can no longer manage the group.
00:47:36So I see this as an opportunity to revitalize our public image
00:47:42and to fulfill the founder's vision for the company.
00:47:46I propose that Ian and Adeline join the board of directors.
00:47:52My mother was one of the founders.
00:47:54As her eldest son, I promise to uphold Leah's vision.
00:47:59Alongside Adeline, I'm sure we'll reach greater heights.
00:48:06If I may, Uncle Chris, I believe that you've always had the group's best interest at heart.
00:48:13You should take over UM and guide Ian and I as we grow into our roles.
00:48:19I don't care who takes over. Adeline promised us record-breaking profits.
00:48:24Now who's going to make good on that promise?
00:48:26I want a return on my investment.
00:48:35I will.
00:48:37I will take responsibility and I promise to deliver on her promises.
00:48:44Do you think that you can live up to the precedent that Adeline has already set?
00:48:49Respectfully, ma'am, there are alternative methods to foster company growth beyond Adeline's approach.
00:48:56I will not prioritize short-term gains, but rather long-term sustainability.
00:49:01Rest assured, you will get your return on investments through ethical and sustainable means.
00:49:15Now we need to vote on this proposal.
00:49:26Well, that's the majority.
00:49:29Ian, Adeline, welcome to the UM Group's Board of Directors.
00:49:44Ian! What are you doing?
00:49:46I cannot get enough of your scent.
00:49:49This is highly inappropriate.
00:49:51You want me to stop? Let's make a deal.
00:49:58Let's make a deal.
00:50:00Just one date. One chance to prove to you that we're meant to be together.
00:50:06And then I will show you all my secrets about Mr. Gray's child.
00:50:11I'll even and throw in my shares of the company.
00:50:15Gray and I are happily married.
00:50:18And if you ever do or suggest anything like this ever again, I will not hesitate to report you for harassment, brother.
00:50:26I don't think you're really married.
00:50:29You think I've changed?
00:50:31I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:50:43Any familial love died with her parents, Addie.
00:50:48Mark my words. I'll have you.
00:50:56Hey, Ray.
00:50:58Yes, dear? How can I help you?
00:51:00I was just wondering why you liked me.
00:51:08If you don't feel comfortable answering, it's okay. No pressure.
00:51:11No, no. It's fine. I don't mind sharing if it's you.
00:51:14But, I don't know. I feel like if I'm going to be vulnerable, I at least deserve a kiss.
00:51:21I don't know.
00:51:31Well, we've known each other since we were kids, but I didn't know you that well back then.
00:51:37Our first year of high school was the year Evelyn married my father.
00:51:41She hated me from the start because I refused to call her mom.
00:51:45She hated me from the start because I refused to call her mom.
00:51:49And one night, when I was moping alone in the park, guess who came wandering up to me?
00:51:55Me?
00:51:57Yeah. You asked if I was okay, and when I told you I didn't want to talk, we just sat there together in silence.
00:52:04What?
00:52:06I was just as confused as you were.
00:52:08Eventually, I asked what you were doing, and you said to me in the quietest little voice,
00:52:13you just looked like you needed some company.
00:52:15Oh my gosh. I'm sorry. I should have just left you alone.
00:52:19No. Company is exactly what I needed at the time.
00:52:23I was missing my mom like crazy, and I realized that you just being there didn't make me feel so lonely.
00:52:36I've been a madman ever since.
00:52:38Every time I saw you in the hallways, I just fell more in love with you.
00:52:43The day you turned me down was the second worst day of my life.
00:52:47But I thought that if I could just support you from the sidelines, then that'd be enough for me.
00:52:54You can do more than support me.
00:52:58I'm yours.
00:53:14Now, before we dig in, I need to give you this.
00:53:18What is it?
00:53:19It's a gift from my father for joining the family.
00:53:24Extend my thanks to him. He didn't have to get-
00:53:26Well, I say gift, but honestly, it's kind of a liability, so think through it carefully.
00:53:34Is this a burden for you?
00:53:38Well, yeah.
00:53:41I'll take it.
00:53:43We're a team, right? No matter what happens from here on out, good or bad, we do it together.
00:53:58Oh my goodness. Wait, these are shares. Rutherford shares?
00:54:02It's currently valued at around two billion dollars on the market.
00:54:10Thank you, Ray.
00:54:12And thank your father, too.
00:54:22Guess who's back?
00:54:26Auntie Evelyn, how?
00:54:28Oh, sweet little Adeline, in your bubble fairytale world, it's called bail, sweetheart.
00:54:36Bail's only going to give you a small amount of time. There's plenty of evidence stacked against you and your crimes.
00:54:46You don't think I got to the top without having friends in high places, do you?
00:54:52Money makes the world go round, kids. Best you remember that.
00:54:58I am going to make your life a living hell.
00:55:06You caught me.
00:55:26Do you really have something that can stop Evelyn?
00:55:35Look.
00:55:41What is that?
00:55:43Haven't you seen it before? It was left to me by my biological father.
00:55:49His name was Nathan Gray, one of the founders of the UM group.
00:55:55Lee and Aiden didn't tell me about him until my 23rd birthday.
00:56:02What is it?
00:56:05It was a token of love.
00:56:08What about your biological mother? Where is she now?
00:56:11No. Who knows? She was just some dancer. My father didn't even know her name.
00:56:19No. No. The one he was truly in love with was her.
00:56:28Ella and Gray were a couple?
00:56:30He loved her from afar, but apparently she never accepted his love.
00:56:39That was until she got pregnant and her husband bowed out.
00:56:46What are you trying to say, Ian?
00:56:48I am Gray's biological son and Leah's adopted son, meaning my influence in the UM group is unquestionable.
00:56:59I can guarantee I can tip the scales in your favor.
00:57:03What do you want in return?
00:57:05Well, Addy, you know exactly what I want.
00:57:08Don't be ridiculous, brother.
00:57:10How many times do I have to tell you? Stop calling me that!
00:57:19Gray, help!
00:57:29No.
00:57:38This is a thanks I get for trying to help you.
00:57:43You collude with Ray Rutherford to assault me?
00:57:47Who assaulted me first?
00:57:49Anything that Ray and I do from here on out is out of self-defense.
00:57:52And when will you get it through your head that I am married?
00:57:56I will not tolerate any more inappropriate behavior.
00:58:09Hello. Evelyn?
00:58:12Yes. You can come over now.
00:58:16No, no. My appointment got canceled last minute.
00:58:22Yeah, come on over. We'll have a blast.
00:58:30Uncle Chris, I heard that Nathan Gray has a biological son.
00:58:35You didn't tell me that last time.
00:58:37Did not?
00:58:38You told me that the UM group was founded by my mother and Ella.
00:58:42Yeah, that's true.
00:58:44Gray joined because of his love for Ella.
00:58:48And Evelyn joined because she was in love with Gray.
00:58:52And Evelyn changed the narrative,
00:58:55crafting a story of five friends coming together to start the UM group.
00:59:02Uncle Chris, answer me honestly. Do you think I should continue working here?
00:59:09Why do you ask?
00:59:11It's just...
00:59:13The UM group today is different than what you just described.
00:59:17It is far from my mother's vision.
00:59:19I stood up to the shareholders because I can't stand the way they've been disrespecting my mother's legacy.
00:59:25There's need for change and innovation.
00:59:27I know, but I can't see myself standing by while the UM group continues on the path that it's on.
00:59:33I'm sorry, am I naive in saying this?
00:59:37You really aren't, Leah Stoner.
00:59:42I think what will ultimately define the UM group is its future.
00:59:49Not its past or the way things are going now.
00:59:52Its present state.
01:00:00Ian, what is it?
01:00:03Oh, that's nostalgic.
01:00:06That's the same look you would give me
01:00:09when I used to steal you and Brandon's food.
01:00:13But I really think you should show me more respect, Adeline, given the circumstances.
01:00:18You really ought not to speak this way publicly.
01:00:21No?
01:00:23No.
01:00:25No, that's actually why I'm here.
01:00:28Can you keep what I told you a secret?
01:00:31Especially from Evelyn?
01:00:34Evelyn, decisions made at the shareholder meetings cannot be easily repealed.
01:00:41Then we should conduct a vote between the two generations.
01:00:49There's only four of us here. We can't vote.
01:00:54The biological son of Nathan Gray is here.
01:00:59He deserves a vote.
01:01:01He deserves a vote.
01:01:03What? Nathan Gray?
01:01:06Christopher, you told me you couldn't find Gray's child.
01:01:10I told you. The lead ended with Leah.
01:01:15Well then, so what about you, Adeline?
01:01:18Given Leah's persistence in ruining me,
01:01:21what do you have some big, hot-shot parent shareholder to?
01:01:27You and Leah found Adeline on the sidewalk.
01:01:30Together, Evelyn.
01:01:32You should know better than anyone who she is.
01:01:36Let's vote.
01:01:38I vote for Evelyn.
01:01:40I vote for Adeline.
01:01:43And the son of Nathan Gray votes for...
01:01:48And the son of Nathan Gray votes for...
01:02:00Adeline.
01:02:06Why are you helping Adeline?
01:02:10I don't know.
01:02:12I don't know.
01:02:15I don't know.
01:02:18I feel like my father's compelling me to vote for her.
01:02:23The world truly works wonders.
01:02:29No wonder I'm attracted to you.
01:02:32You're just like your father.
01:02:36What do you mean?
01:02:39Did you and my father...
01:02:41No.
01:02:43I could never have him like that.
01:02:46Like you can't have Adeline.
01:03:04I'm curious to see what she's been hiding in this thing since the last time I was here.
01:03:09What about the code? Have you seen her put it in?
01:03:12Just watch.
01:03:24Oh, you can see the numbers she prints.
01:03:27Pretty cool, huh?
01:03:29I learned it from a detective show.
01:03:31Now, we just gotta brute force the combination.
01:03:39Beep. Beep.
01:03:52Are you sure this is your mother's necklace?
01:03:55I'm absolutely positive.
01:03:57Why would Evelyn have your mother's necklace?
01:04:01I'm not sure.
01:04:03All I know is my mother was wearing that necklace the night she died.
01:04:07She was at a party, and she ended up falling from the roof.
01:04:14The police ruled it as a suicide.
01:04:16A rash choice because of a large debt.
01:04:19Debt?
01:04:20I know. It's ridiculous.
01:04:22My mother came from money, and it was never like her to borrow it.
01:04:26I have no clue how she could have racked up so much debt.
01:04:29No, no, Ray. The police have this same story for my parents.
01:04:34Something isn't right.
01:04:36And why would your mother's necklace be in Evelyn's hands?
01:04:42Could she be your mother's creditor?
01:04:44My father said she bought it back from the creditor, but I'm not too sure anymore.
01:04:49I swear, it was like she had him wrapped around her finger back then.
01:04:53Convenient.
01:04:55So not only is she a bitch, but apparently Dura Evelyn is a debt collector too now.
01:05:01My mom's case is so old, it'll be nearly impossible to reopen for investigation.
01:05:07No.
01:05:09Don't get all bent out of shape.
01:05:12I actually have an idea.
01:05:23Auntie Evelyn, I'm planning a small family dinner this weekend, and would you like to join us?
01:05:29Family dinner?
01:05:33What is that?
01:05:35Oh, this? It's a gift from Ray. His mother left it to him, apparently.
01:05:40I thought his mother's necklace was repossessed.
01:05:44I heard she gave up a fake one.
01:05:47Apparently she liked it so much that she had another one made to wear to events for safety.
01:05:52That's impossible. I had that necklace authenticated.
01:05:59Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that Ray's is real.
01:06:02He dropped it as a kid, and it scratched it, see?
01:06:06Boy, was she mad.
01:06:08I see.
01:06:11So, I guess that means that Ray's mother never owed anything at all.
01:06:16Those creditors of her must have been lying.
01:06:18The police have clear evidence confirming the creditor as her friend.
01:06:23Friend? What was her name?
01:06:26I am a little drunk. I'm so sorry. I don't remember years ago.
01:06:33No, that's too bad.
01:06:35But anyway, can I expect to see you at the dinner this weekend?
01:06:39Why would I attend a family dinner?
01:06:43I thought you and Ray considered me evil.
01:06:47Despite how things have been, I want to try and get along.
01:06:51Oh, that's so sweet of you.
01:06:56Why don't I make you a special drink tomorrow as an apology? How about that?
01:07:03I'm looking forward to it.
01:07:05Me too.
01:07:14Could I have a glass of water, please?
01:07:22Oh, I'll bring it to Mrs. Rutherford.
01:07:40Thank you, Aunt Evelyn.
01:07:51Thank you.
01:08:07Well, I am off to work.
01:08:12Okay.
01:08:21Thank you.
01:08:32Naomi, get this necklace authenticated.
01:08:37Go somewhere good. Money is no issue.
01:08:41Yes, ma'am.
01:08:43And remember, this is confidential.
01:08:47Understood.
01:08:51Also, would you check on Adeline later?
01:08:56If she's in her office, send her over. I want to speak with her.
01:09:00Yes, ma'am.
01:09:15Adeline's at her desk.
01:09:17What is going on?
01:09:20Why isn't the drug working?
01:09:36Drink it.
01:09:39What, is Adeline the only one you take orders from now?
01:09:43Drink.
01:09:51Drink.
01:10:12Why isn't it working?
01:10:15Did someone do something to it?
01:10:19Adeline?
01:10:21You did something, didn't you?
01:10:29The surveillance team reported that Evelyn tried poisoning you today with that arsenic trioxide.
01:10:34Wait, really? Already?
01:10:37Relax, princess. I already swapped it out for sugar.
01:10:41Didn't your water taste extra sweet this morning?
01:10:49Oh.
01:10:52The UM group has entered into a collaborative project with the Rutherford group.
01:10:59I've decided to appoint you and Ray to lead it,
01:11:03given your positions, you're the best candidates for the job.
01:11:08We have a separate office for this.
01:11:11Turn over your current work to Ian, and focus on this new project.
01:11:16Can't I manage both the UM tenure project and the new project?
01:11:20No, you can't.
01:11:23Because I've already taken over your office.
01:11:28Taken over? What do you mean?
01:11:30It means that I already have people working in your place.
01:11:33Oh, so this is just a ploy to get rid of me and Ray?
01:11:36Using this new collaborative project as an excuse?
01:11:39You're free to interpret this however you like.
01:11:47Mm-hmm.
01:12:03We hired professional movers for your belongings. No need to thank us.
01:12:08Evelyn, my position was decided by the board of directors.
01:12:11You can't just move my things around like this on a whim.
01:12:14No, I can.
01:12:16Of course, rules are rules, but I guarantee you,
01:12:20everything will turn out just the way I want.
01:12:25Hello.
01:12:28Eric, a good friend of mine who represents the renowned investment firm Goldstone Group,
01:12:33will be joining us today.
01:12:35Goldstone has acquired shares within UM.
01:12:39And between me, Eric, and Digg,
01:12:43we have a deal.
01:12:46Okay, Goldstone has acquired shares within UM.
01:12:51And between me, Eric, and Digg,
01:12:54our shares have reached 51%.
01:12:59That means I ostensibly run the UM Group.
01:13:07With majority shares, I ostensibly run the UM Group.
01:13:13Actually, Eric will not be joining us today.
01:13:18As his boss, I told him I'd be the one attending instead.
01:13:26Ray, you're the boss of Goldstone Group.
01:13:31Why isn't it in the public record?
01:13:37I'm one of the partners at Goldstone.
01:13:40I'm a silent partner.
01:13:45What?
01:13:47I'm sorry, Evelyn, but if you're the one in control of the UM Group,
01:13:50I'm afraid I've lost all interest.
01:13:53My allegiance lies with Adeline.
01:13:57Someone's mad.
01:14:06Stop it, Evelyn.
01:14:08You don't need to have a tantrum every time you're upset.
01:14:11Those are important documents.
01:14:14What were you thinking?
01:14:17I was thinking about you.
01:14:20I was thinking about you.
01:14:23Stop it.
01:14:25What were you thinking?
01:14:27I have been humiliated, Christopher.
01:14:31They are playing me.
01:14:34I want you to contact the shareholders.
01:14:37I want their shares at any price.
01:14:41I need you to calm down.
01:14:43I am calm.
01:14:45I just don't want my control over the UM Group to slip away.
01:14:51Have you considered asking Ian for help?
01:14:56Ian.
01:15:01Yes.
01:15:03It is time to transfer his gray shares to him.
01:15:15You are amazing, Ian.
01:15:20How do you plan on repaying me?
01:15:24Already ready for round two?
01:15:26No, no.
01:15:28You know exactly what I want.
01:15:32Fine.
01:15:34According to the agreement, the next generation is only able to inherit their shares
01:15:40after the UM Group has been 25 years in operation.
01:15:46They'll also have to undergo a strict assessment.
01:15:51Of course, Christopher and I can initiate the procedure early.
01:15:57That's great.
01:15:59But of course there is risks.
01:16:03If Ella's biological daughter decides to come forward during the assessment,
01:16:08she can obtain her portion of the shares.
01:16:14But...
01:16:17it's a risk I'm willing to take.
01:16:21Drop the act.
01:16:23I know you want something in return.
01:16:27You know exactly what I want.
01:16:35I hereby announce, by decision of the board,
01:16:39Adeline Rutherford and Ray Rutherford are relieved of their positions
01:16:44as directors and executives, effective immediately.
01:16:49Thanks to Ian Vanderbilt for allotting his shares,
01:16:52giving us majority votes over the board.
01:17:00Thank you everyone.
01:17:02It was a pleasure working with you.
01:17:09Thank you.
01:17:23We've got plenty in there, so...
01:17:26Are you going to whisk it?
01:17:28I am.
01:17:30I think it's about done.
01:17:34Oh my.
01:17:37The Mrs. Rutherford personally preparing breakfast.
01:17:42Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
01:17:45I like cooking puree.
01:17:47I worry about you, Adeline.
01:17:49It's only been a day since you've been kicked out of the U.M. group,
01:17:53and you're already living like you're impoverished.
01:17:57I wonder what would happen if the Rutherford group falls as well.
01:18:02Isn't the Rutherford group's success in your best interest?
01:18:07Your father and I have finally agreed to a divorce.
01:18:13I'm no longer connected to the Rutherford family.
01:18:17Oh my God.
01:18:18My father must feel like a weight's been lifted off his shoulder.
01:18:21Now, kindly, get out of our lives.
01:18:28Oh.
01:18:31Goodbye, Adeline.
01:18:49I agree to your terms, Mr. Moulier.
01:18:53We'll acquire the Rutherford group together.
01:18:57Adeline?
01:19:01You drove her from U.M.?
01:19:03Isn't that enough?
01:19:04No, it's not.
01:19:06As long as Steven and his son still have influence,
01:19:10Adeline can come back at any moment.
01:19:13You're paranoid over a child.
01:19:16A child who reminds me of a young Leah.
01:19:20Call me crazy, but there are times
01:19:23Call me crazy, but there are times when she also looks just like Ella.
01:19:28I have worked too hard to let some ghost of those two take everything from me.
01:19:46What are you doing here?
01:19:48You are no longer part of the family and have no affiliations with the Rutherford group.
01:19:52Internally, maybe.
01:19:54But as the largest shareholder of the Rutherford group,
01:19:58I have a right to see my property.
01:20:01What are you talking about?
01:20:03I'm saying you're about to get thrown out on your ass again.
01:20:06But it'll give you more time for your readings.
01:20:11Impressive, Evelyn, but I'm concerned about the legality of these acquisitions.
01:20:15Agreed. You can't just circumvent public disclosures in such a short amount of time.
01:20:19Maybe I went through and took advantage of a couple of loopholes.
01:20:23But that just means I'm capable and deficient, no?
01:20:28Finding my rules and achieving results fairly are what make a person truly capable.
01:20:32Oh.
01:20:34Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, sweetheart.
01:20:38Best figure that out, or you might get bit.
01:20:53I have damning evidence against Evelyn.
01:20:57What evidence?
01:21:01I have damning evidence against Evelyn.
01:21:09What kind of evidence?
01:21:11Come home. Let's talk face to face.
01:21:15Ian, I still don't think you're getting this. That's not my home anymore.
01:21:20I love you, Addie.
01:21:23And I'm not going to stop doing that no matter what.
01:21:27Don't you see? This is our chance to become a family again.
01:21:33Just come home and hear me out.
01:21:37We can take down Evelyn together.
01:21:41Hey, brother-in-law. Did I not smash your nose hard enough last time?
01:21:51I swear to God, if he wasn't your brother, I would drag his ass to the police.
01:21:55Ever since our parents passed away, he's become so creepy.
01:21:59Deranged, even.
01:22:03But right now, we need to stop the Rutherford Sheriffs from being brought up.
01:22:08My father and the elders of the family are all in emergency meetings trying to find a solution.
01:22:13But we need to investigate whether Evelyn's acquisition is a violation of regulations.
01:22:19I have an idea, but I don't know if you'll agree with it.
01:22:23What is it?
01:22:24I think we should give up our shares.
01:22:28Hand them over? To who? What?
01:22:31Evelyn is well-connected. Someone must have helped her with those acquisitions.
01:22:35We need all the members of the Rutherford group still holding shares to unite publicly.
01:22:41I see. With Evelyn buying up shares left and right, the others will smell the blood in the water and start pestering the shareholders to sell.
01:22:48I suggest that we establish a stock custody institution within the family.
01:22:52We need to consolidate everyone's shares under unified management, and then we can implement trading conditions.
01:22:59That would mean that people can't freely sell their stocks. They can only make profit on them as they stand.
01:23:05It might be difficult to convince them.
01:23:07That's why we need to be the first ones to hand over our shares, to set an example and show how committed we are to the group.
01:23:14Some people might not come around.
01:23:16As long as they have the Rutherford group's best interests at heart, I believe they will.
01:23:23I swear, every day Adeline, I just fall more in love with you.
01:23:28How long do you plan on letting me go crazy?
01:23:32Forever.
01:23:34Sounds good to me.
01:23:37I'll message my dad right away.
01:23:47How did it go?
01:23:51Thank you, Christopher, for lending me money.
01:23:55Of course.
01:23:56I cannot believe that Moulier lied to me.
01:24:00He and his people told me with absolute confidence that the acquisitions were done fairly.
01:24:06But they were judged to be in violation.
01:24:11The fine has been paid. No point dwelling on it.
01:24:17Mr. Moulier.
01:24:20My associates have reminded me that you will need to fulfill your end of the VAM agreements.
01:24:25I currently don't have the money to pay what I owe.
01:24:31I had to borrow money to pay the fines for our attempted acquisition of the Rutherford group.
01:24:36I am willing to sign a long-term payment plan, or perhaps I can offset my portion of what I owe to the Web shares.
01:24:45Your shares don't nearly cover for the Zevlin, and I don't take payment plans.
01:24:50If you don't figure something out, I'm afraid I will have to execute Plan B.
01:24:56No. Please.
01:24:59Give me two weeks, and I will come up with something. I promise.
01:25:04Hello, Auntie Evelyn. How are you doing today?
01:25:09Out of the line.
01:25:11What are you doing here?
01:25:13U.N. doesn't allow former employees on company property.
01:25:16Oh, I was just coming to claim what's frankly mine.
01:25:19And what's that?
01:25:25My shares.
01:25:29The ones left to me by my mother.
01:25:31Leah used her shares to pay off her debt.
01:25:36I'm talking about Ella's shares.
01:25:41Ella.
01:25:45What does Ella have to do with any of this? She was long dead by the time Leah and I found you.
01:25:52This should be proof enough that I'm Ella's biological daughter.
01:26:01I see.
01:26:05Look at how well they match.
01:26:09I finally understand, Addie, why I've been obsessed with you for so many years.
01:26:16It's fate. Just like how my father was in love with your mother.
01:26:25You're delusional, brother.
01:26:31It's fake. You made that image of you, Snicker.
01:26:36That'll prove it.
01:26:47Liar.
01:26:50You made this to try and trick me.
01:26:55I have plenty of copies. Do you want to see them?
01:26:58I found you on the side of the road, Adeline.
01:27:02You think I would believe some fabricated document over my own eyes?
01:27:09You're both right.
01:27:13She is Ella's daughter.
01:27:19How?
01:27:21Leah and I planned it.
01:27:24We put Adeline in your route beforehand.
01:27:27So when you found Adeline, you believed it was pure coincidence.
01:27:33So you and Adeline conspired against me?
01:27:37If you want to look at it like that.
01:27:40Why? Why would you do that?
01:27:44You made Leah sterile.
01:27:47You, uh... she knew?
01:27:50Of course. She also knew how much you hated her vision for UM.
01:27:55She kept Adeline and Ian's identity hidden.
01:28:01You knew everything?
01:28:05You've been against me this entire time.
01:28:22You should go. I'm not in the mood today.
01:28:26Please, Ian.
01:28:30I feel like I'm dying inside. Everything I've ever worked for is crumbling around me.
01:28:37You were the only good thing I had left.
01:28:41You know, I finally get it.
01:28:43Why my father never chose you.
01:28:46Why he would rather have a widow, Ella, over you.
01:28:51Why he would rather have my mother, a random dancer, over you.
01:28:56What?
01:28:58Because for Robin, both inside and out.
01:29:03You disgust me.
01:29:06I didn't crave.
01:29:19You picked some street whore over me.
01:29:24What did I do?
01:29:28What did I have that I didn't?
01:29:42The dress for tomorrow's welcoming party is here.
01:29:46The makeup artist and hairstylist will be here at 4pm sharp.
01:29:50I think you're right.
01:30:05When is Ella's prissy fairy princess coming?
01:30:09She'll be here soon.
01:30:25Leah?
01:30:29Hello, Evelyn.
01:30:33It's been a while, hasn't it?
01:30:36What are you doing here?
01:30:40You're dead.
01:30:41I had to come back and find out for myself.
01:30:44I tolerated you for so long.
01:30:48Why did you kill me?
01:30:55Because you created the UM group.
01:31:02You and Ella.
01:31:04I couldn't stand living in your shadow.
01:31:08So you poisoned my drink?
01:31:11Yes.
01:31:15Please, please, I'm sorry.
01:31:19Please, please forget.
01:31:21What about my shares?
01:31:24I, uh, I took them.
01:31:28I needed those shares.
01:31:31I needed money to accomplish my dreams.
01:31:35How many terrible things have you done?
01:31:38In the name of your greed, your ambition?
01:31:43You killed me, you killed my husband, my son.
01:31:49Did you kill Ray Rutherford?
01:31:51Ray Rutherford's mother?
01:31:56You knew that?
01:32:00You knew that?
01:32:06No, no, no.
01:32:10Wait, there is no way that Leah would know that.
01:32:17Who are you?
01:32:21You're right, I'm not her.
01:32:23Adeline.
01:32:26What are you doing?
01:32:28Why are you dressed like Leah?
01:32:31Caught red-handed.
01:32:37You, you two.
01:32:41I hope they lock you away for good, Evelyn.
01:32:44No, wait.
01:32:49Evelyn's just drunk.
01:32:52Spewing nonsense.
01:32:54Ian, you came back for me.
01:32:57Do not get your hopes up.
01:32:58I just don't want to be your accomplice.
01:33:00Ian's right.
01:33:02We need evidence.
01:33:04Christopher.
01:33:12Christopher.
01:33:15You knew?
01:33:17Of course I did.
01:33:19I was protecting the U.M. so someday I could pass it on to its rightful owner.
01:33:25What?
01:33:27No.
01:33:29What is going on here?
01:33:38In seven days, the U.M. group celebrates its 25th anniversary.
01:33:43And I feel it's time for me to retire.
01:33:49So I can hand off the group to Leah's adopted daughter.
01:33:57Who also happens to be Ella's natural born daughter.
01:34:03Hopefully, you'll be able to guide the group into a new golden age.
01:34:19No!
01:34:22No!
01:34:24Thanks, guys.
