Dynasty Of Shadows
Transcript
00:00:00Can you just get to the point? I'm missing an important meeting.
00:00:14I understand, but I can't commence the reading of your father's will without your brother here.
00:00:22What the actual fuck? It's noon and you're drunk already.
00:00:26Hello, Frankie.
00:00:32Let's get this idea, shall we?
00:00:36Your father's last will and testament read before his two sons as stipulated.
00:00:43In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares and stocks, will only be inherited by one of my sons.
00:00:53Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
00:00:58That's bullshit! We gonna know it?
00:01:01This is your father's updated will. He was of sound mind when it was revised.
00:01:05Revised? When?
00:01:08A few weeks before his death. I assure you, these are his true wishes. If you'll please get seated, son.
00:01:14Fuck, you fucking son.
00:01:16Take your fucking seat, Jack.
00:01:18Seems there's more we need to hear.
00:01:21That woman has already been chosen by me. Evangeline Harris.
00:01:26She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
00:01:30By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman.
00:01:33I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but...
00:01:36To my disappointment, you have both grown overly arrogant and dismissive of those you consider to be inferior to you in both social standing and in wealth.
00:01:43My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class or status.
00:01:48I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love and kindness.
00:01:53This makes no sense at all. Marrying a stranger? How do we even get in touch with this woman? Evangeline...
00:02:05Evangeline Harris, your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch with her won't be an issue.
00:02:12You seem a little bit composed, brother. Something they could tell me. I beg your pardon?
00:02:18You seem all calm the whole way. Not a little too well. It's almost like if you already knew what was happening.
00:02:25Please tell me that's a joke. I'm concerned about how to get to the bottom of this, and you're concerned that I'm just not falling apart.
00:02:32You were here before me. God knows for how long.
00:02:36Yeah, because I understand punctuality. Unlike you, you chose to be late as usual.
00:02:44Just don't forget that you're daddy's little favourite, hey? Who knows what else he gave you a little hint about the will.
00:02:51For fuck's sake, Jack. Don't start this shit now. We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each other.
00:02:59Okay, I believe you say dearest brother. But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in the end.
00:03:05Oh, come on Jack. Don't be such a child. Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter what.
00:03:14You think he's not near anymore, huh?
00:03:17What could you do, Jack?
00:03:18Thank you, Jack.
00:03:20You don't want to go.
00:03:21I love you.
00:03:24I love you.
00:03:26You're welcome.
00:03:36Yeah, you want me to go.
00:03:42Hey, this is the hundredth voicemail I've left here.
00:04:02Call me when you get this one.
00:04:08Tony boy, how'd you be looking for me?
00:04:11Speak of the devil.
00:04:13Where the fuck have you been?
00:04:15I've been trying to contact you for days.
00:04:17Been here, there, you know.
00:04:20No, I don't know.
00:04:21And can you stop playing with that?
00:04:23You always make a mess of things.
00:04:25And you're always trying to control things.
00:04:28Maybe you should understand how things really work.
00:04:31What are you talking about?
00:04:32Are you drunk right now?
00:04:34Because you're not making much sense.
00:04:36Nope.
00:04:37Server is a nun.
00:04:38Enough of the cryptic talk.
00:04:39And why are you so late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
00:04:43John, John, you always focus on the things that aren't important.
00:04:47Why don't you just give it a little?
00:04:48The things that aren't important.
00:04:51Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad?
00:04:54We actually have to keep it alive.
00:04:55Well, like we have you then.
00:04:57Hey, actually best be on it.
00:05:00I better be going.
00:05:01Come on, do this chat another time.
00:05:02Where the fuck are you off to now?
00:05:11You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
00:05:14To think that I was worried about you, only to find out you had been in contact with Evangeline Harris.
00:05:18Damn, bro.
00:05:20Did you run here?
00:05:22Hey, easy tiger.
00:05:24What can I say?
00:05:25I'll work better alone.
00:05:28Besides, this situation is best man wins.
00:05:32I don't see that both of us are getting married to her.
00:05:34Welcome.
00:05:37Jack, I see you're here early this time.
00:05:39This wouldn't be a bit worth the time.
00:05:42Heads up to my brother, didn't ya?
00:05:43Yeah.
00:05:45Actually, I was obligated to share this information with both of you at the same time.
00:05:49Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank.
00:05:51God knows if it were up to Jack, I'd still be up at the office.
00:05:55Is your baby worth the time?
00:05:56Shut up, jackass.
00:06:04Ms. Harris won't be coming to the meeting.
00:06:06And we all know what that means.
00:06:08It's without her, nothing can move forward.
00:06:12Damn it.
00:06:13I'm coming.
00:06:43Mum, what are you doing here?
00:06:48I had no idea we were stopping by.
00:06:50Eva, you look a mess.
00:06:52How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
00:07:01I'm doing housework, Mum.
00:07:03Am I supposed to have a full face of makeup on?
00:07:05Oh, well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place.
00:07:09Surely you can find somewhere better.
00:07:12Your standards are so high.
00:07:14It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
00:07:17And besides, I like it here. It's nice and it's cosy.
00:07:20Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities
00:07:23and you've got to grab them when they are presented to you.
00:07:26I guess.
00:07:28I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorns lawyers.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:35I guess you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorns lawyers.
00:07:38Yeah?
00:07:39How did you know about that?
00:07:40Oh, never mind. Why didn't you go?
00:07:42Because it seemed shady.
00:07:44I know I've never spoken to that man before.
00:07:46And I only know the name Blackthorn because you work for the late Mr Blackthorn.
00:07:50What on earth do they work with me?
00:07:53And you just dodged my question.
00:07:55How do you know about that meeting?
00:07:57Because I set it up.
00:07:59What do you mean you set it up?
00:08:06What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
00:08:09What's going on, Mum?
00:08:10Calm down, child. Let me explain.
00:08:13You see, when Mr Blackthorn neared his end,
00:08:17he kind of started opening up to me and talking about his life,
00:08:22about his late wife, his two sons, Jack and John.
00:08:26Fritz and all twins.
00:08:27And you see, he even asked about my life.
00:08:30That's interesting, but that doesn't quite answer anything.
00:08:33But you see, when we got talking, we realised that we could possibly help each other.
00:08:37You see, he realised that his two sons had a bit of a, let's call it a classist issue.
00:08:43You mean they're pretentious rich boy pricks?
00:08:46That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
00:08:48Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy
00:08:52and be a little bit less pretentious.
00:08:54And I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:58She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
00:09:01What? You told him that? About me?
00:09:05Parents talk about their kids. You see, I told him that you were fussy about,
00:09:09you know, the men you were dating, lacking in a bit of ambition.
00:09:12And, you know, Mr. Blackthorn was really alone at that time
00:09:15and his two boys was always just too busy to visit him.
00:09:18He might have been a little muddled at that point,
00:09:21but anyway, we still came to an agreement.
00:09:24What sort of agreement, ma'am?
00:09:26Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you
00:09:31in order to inherit his wealth.
00:09:33You can't be serious.
00:09:35You're joking, right?
00:09:37No, wait. Let me finish. I am serious.
00:09:41You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
00:09:47You told that old man that I was a sad loser?
00:10:01That I would jump at the chance to marry one of his sons?
00:10:05So what if I don't have a man in my life or many friends?
00:10:08That's my choice. Mine.
00:10:10Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
00:10:13You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have
00:10:18and everything you don't have
00:10:20and that you never had a thought that your life would be much easier if you had more.
00:10:26if you had more money, more status and more opportunities.
00:10:30Yeah, I thought as much.
00:10:32I only ever wanted what was good for you.
00:10:38All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
00:10:42The things I never achieved.
00:10:44So it really hurts me when you imply that I want to bump you out.
00:10:50What do the sons think about this crazy scheme?
00:10:57Well, you would have known that if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go to.
00:11:04I'm sorry.
00:11:05But it's to marry a total stranger?
00:11:07A very wealthy stranger, really.
00:11:10Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
00:11:14It happens everywhere.
00:11:16They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
00:11:20No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do.
00:11:23But let's face it, you won't lose anything by trying at least.
00:11:27What happens if I don't like the guy and I don't want to go through the marriage?
00:11:30Well, then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves and work through it.
00:11:35At that point, at least they've learned just a fraction of the humility that their dad wanted for them.
00:11:41Well, maybe I'll meet with the sons and see what it's like.
00:11:47But I can't guarantee anything further than that.
00:11:55Oh, my secret is so safe. Good girl.
00:11:58John Blackthorn?
00:12:09Yes.
00:12:11You must be Miss Harris.
00:12:13Evangeline is fine. Or Eva, if you'd like.
00:12:16Eva it is, though. I'm John.
00:12:19I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:12:29You literally just took my breath away right now. You're magnificent.
00:12:34I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting at your lawyers.
00:12:38It just came from out of the blue.
00:12:40I had no idea why my mother's late lawyer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:12:45It just happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
00:12:50I just said yes.
00:12:52So you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
00:12:57I had no idea. It's quite strange.
00:13:01It's been a bit overwhelming. Even for me. For us.
00:13:08Isn't there supposed to be two of you? Your attorneys said I'm supposed to meet with your brother as well.
00:13:15You must be all important, Miss Harris. Speak of the devil.
00:13:25Tell me something. How much are you really going to cost me?
00:13:31Then you must be Jack Blackthorn. I guess you guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:13:37So he came earlier to butter me up with outrageous compliments.
00:13:41And then you sweep in for the attack.
00:13:43What are you insinuating that I have to say?
00:13:46Am I interrupting something?
00:13:48Oh, don't tell me you've fallen for his boyhood routine.
00:13:52Clearly this is an exchange. You for our father's wealth. Don't lay down.
00:13:58What the fuck is wrong with you? Don't talk to her like that. It's disgusting.
00:14:02Oh, come on. You're coming on so strong, Johnny boy.
00:14:06Don't act all innocent now that she's looking so beautiful.
00:14:10Is that what you think a woman is? That we're only valuable for her way we look?
00:14:16No wonder your father loved you and his wealth. You're not only classist, but you're sexist as well.
00:14:21Watch your fucking mouth. You don't know anything about her. Or me.
00:14:25You think you're better than his nature. The fact that you've only considered in this profession says a lot about you.
00:14:30You fucking bitch. How much does this cost?
00:14:33Use it to mop up your-
00:14:35Cost?
00:14:36Use it to mop up your toxicity, rich boy.
00:14:38Survive go to hell if you're up off.
00:14:40City, rich boy.
00:14:41Survive go to hell if you're up off.
00:14:55The End
00:15:01Evangelion, wait!
00:15:03Evangelion, wait!
00:15:05Hold on a second!
00:15:07Hold on a second!
00:15:11Nice one, Jack.
00:15:13Nice one, Jack.
00:15:15Nice one.
00:15:17She's the spitfire, that one.
00:15:19She's the spitfire, that one.
00:15:21What about those curds?
00:15:23We never know, she'll be so hot.
00:15:25Those curds.
00:15:26We never know, she'll be so hot.
00:15:27What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:15:29You made her-
00:15:30The fuck is wrong with you?
00:15:31You made her change her mind.
00:15:33How hard is it to be polite, goddant?
00:15:35How hard is it to be polite, goddammit?
00:15:37Well, my father means firecrank can't take a joke.
00:15:40Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:15:44Are you sure-
00:15:45She'll be back eventually.
00:15:46Are you sure about that?
00:15:48I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:50I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:52Don't worry.
00:15:54Don't worry, Johnny boy.
00:15:55I know women, and I saw the fire in her today.
00:15:57And she's burning for me.
00:15:58I think you're-
00:15:59Burning for me.
00:16:00I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:16:01Nah.
00:16:02One way or-
00:16:03Confusing your emotions.
00:16:04Nah.
00:16:05One way or another.
00:16:06I'll be holding that spark in my hand.
00:16:07Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:16:09You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:16:12You call her talking down?
00:16:13I call her flirting.
00:16:14Besides, you could see you're all smitten in less than twenty minutes.
00:16:15I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:16:16There's no denying it.
00:16:17We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt.
00:16:18And I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump a little bit more.
00:16:19Are you sure about that?
00:16:20Ha!
00:16:21You are.
00:16:22Ha!
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:24I'm kidding.
00:16:25You could even tell me now you're interested in her.
00:16:26You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:16:27You can all talk and down.
00:16:28I call her flirting.
00:16:29Besides, you could see you're all smitten in less than twenty minutes.
00:16:32I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:16:35Hmm.
00:16:36There's no denying it.
00:16:37We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt.
00:16:40And I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump a little bit more.
00:16:45Are you sure about that?
00:16:46Ha!
00:16:47Yeah!
00:16:48I guess we'll find out.
00:17:18I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline. Open the door.
00:17:28I'm coming.
00:17:33Ignoring your mother. That's such childish behaviour.
00:17:38My mum, I didn't know it was you.
00:17:41Carbs, really. You need to watch your figure, but anyway, we'll talk about that later.
00:17:45I'm here for a different reason.
00:17:48What reason?
00:17:49Well, must I spell it out for you?
00:17:51I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Blackthorns.
00:17:54I told you what happened.
00:17:56Please don't tell me you came all this way just to talk about it again.
00:17:59That I teach you nothing about perseverance.
00:18:02Here you have a chance to change your life and even find love along the way.
00:18:07And you want to throw it away just because of one small little comment.
00:18:11Seriously, something you mean?
00:18:13Eva, I'm not asking you to reach out or even apologise to them.
00:18:17I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:18:20I made a promise to Mr. Blackthorn and I want to keep that.
00:18:23You speak like it's an obligation, but I know you didn't sign anything. No.
00:18:28You're not!
00:18:30Distorted.
00:18:31John or Jack.
00:18:35So good.
00:18:36You're here.
00:18:37You're here.
00:18:38No.
00:18:39No.
00:18:40No!
00:18:41No.
00:18:42No!
00:18:43No!
00:18:44No!
00:18:45No!
00:18:46No!
00:18:47No!
00:18:48No!
00:18:50No!
00:18:51No!
00:18:52No!
00:18:53No!
00:18:54No!
00:18:55No!
00:18:56You've got to be kidding me.
00:19:10John Blackburn, what are you doing here?
00:19:14Are you stalking me?
00:19:16How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:19:17I'm sorry, I didn't mean to start with you.
00:19:20Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:19:23You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:19:25My bad.
00:19:27I just wanted to talk to you and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:19:31Oh yeah.
00:19:33Sorry about what?
00:19:35For being a two-faced Mr. Nice Guy?
00:19:38Or for being dumb when your brother insulted me?
00:19:41Eva, I'm-
00:19:41That's Evangeline to you.
00:19:44Right.
00:19:45Evangeline.
00:19:47I swear to you, I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:19:52I meant every word I said about how beautiful you are.
00:19:55I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:59My brother can be difficult sometimes.
00:20:03I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:20:07Well, that sounded better this time, but-
00:20:11I hope you know that I was-
00:20:12Look out!
00:20:13That was close.
00:20:17I really thought he was about to knock me over.
00:20:18If you hadn't grabbed me, I'd be lying on the road by now.
00:20:20You sure you're okay?
00:20:21You're not hurt anywhere?
00:20:22It's fine.
00:20:23You just miss me.
00:20:24You saved me.
00:20:25You're my hero.
00:20:26No, no.
00:20:27It's nothing like that.
00:20:28I just happened to be looking at the road at the right time.
00:20:32You know, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days.
00:20:46You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:20:49How did you get my number?
00:20:52Well, when you weren't answering and I needed to get a hold of you, I called Mr. Frank, who then called-
00:20:58My mother.
00:21:00She loves to meddle.
00:21:02Can I give you a ride home?
00:21:04Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:21:29Again, I'm sorry about what happened and how something that started so nicely ended up so messy.
00:21:37And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:21:41It's okay, I'm over it now.
00:21:43And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:21:46Yeah, but I could have made sure you weren't-
00:21:51Sorry.
00:21:53No, it's okay.
00:21:58No, it's okay.
00:22:00Um, this- this is me, so...
00:22:05Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:22:06Yeah, that'd be great.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:14Of course, this buckle's kind of stuck.
00:22:16Here, come here.
00:22:17You just need to rest it like this.
00:22:20Damn it, it's- it's work.
00:22:29I need to take this.
00:22:32Um, thanks, thanks for the ride.
00:22:39I will never forget how scared you were when you thought a dead frog would come back to life and haunt you.
00:22:46I swear it looked me straight in the eye before it took its last breath.
00:22:50Probably memorizing my face so it could have its afterlife vengeance attack.
00:22:53Wasn't it for the school project?
00:22:55Um, you were- oh my god, you were so scared that you were shivering all night,
00:22:58the lights aren't even up to midnight.
00:23:00It's funny now, but back then it was a very different matter, I can assure you.
00:23:06You know what?
00:23:08Your mum was in stitches about the whole thing.
00:23:11No, she wasn't.
00:23:12She believed me.
00:23:13Aw, well come on, didn't she just made you not feel terrible?
00:23:18That's probably true.
00:23:20But in my ten-year-old brain, mum believed in the ghosts of vindictive frogs.
00:23:25Yeah, she was something else.
00:23:30I really do miss her.
00:23:32Yeah, me too.
00:23:35And dad too, of course.
00:23:39Always look at this photo of the four of us, together.
00:23:43We used to have dinner as a weekly tradition.
00:23:50Why don't we do that anymore?
00:23:53I don't know, we just-
00:23:56I think things got sad after mum died and we became busy, dad died and
00:24:01I think we just lost the feeling of what it's like to be for him here again.
00:24:07Well, why don't we change that?
00:24:09I've lost my appetite.
00:24:14I'll leave it to it, Johnny boy.
00:24:24Ah, Johnny boy.
00:24:34Welcome.
00:24:35Take a seat.
00:24:36Look, I've got the chef to make your favourite meal.
00:24:39Wow.
00:24:40It all looks so good.
00:24:43And you're in a very good mood tonight.
00:24:45Mm-hmm.
00:24:46Yes.
00:24:46Thought after the way you stormed out last night, I'd have to be worried about you.
00:24:50Don't worry about that.
00:24:51I've got that under control as usual.
00:24:53Well, maybe better now.
00:24:55We'll cheese to the night.
00:24:56Cheers.
00:24:57I hope you've worked out a big appetite.
00:25:02It's going to become a three-course meal.
00:25:03I'm as hungry as I've ever been.
00:25:05Mmm.
00:25:06It all looks delicious.
00:25:09So, I noticed Miss Harris called you yesterday.
00:25:14I didn't realise you guys were becoming so close.
00:25:16So surprised.
00:25:19It's nothing serious.
00:25:20I reached out to apologise to her and we've been friendly ever since.
00:25:25So you're making progress, right?
00:25:28Sneaking slowly to her heart.
00:25:30One phone call at a time.
00:25:33What's next?
00:25:35Sex on the beach.
00:25:39Jack, please, don't start that now.
00:25:42Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:25:44Hmm.
00:25:45Nah.
00:25:45Not at all.
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:51What is it?
00:25:54Guess who's going to have Eva work under him?
00:25:57Oh, you asked to see me?
00:26:20Yes, I did.
00:26:21Have a seat.
00:26:21I don't understand.
00:26:24What are you doing here?
00:26:26Well, I bought the Hotel of the Old Owners.
00:26:28It's simple as that.
00:26:29Have you shopped to see me since the first time we met?
00:26:32Have you spoken about me at least?
00:26:34Well, I know you and my brother have been speaking.
00:26:36What do you think?
00:26:37I'm just going to vanish into thin air.
00:26:40No, I didn't ask about you.
00:26:42You went out a prick that day.
00:26:45Watch your tone, young lady.
00:26:47You don't want to be getting fired speaking to the boss now, would you?
00:26:51Of course not.
00:26:53You don't have to walk.
00:26:53It's not going to ask you to blow me or anything.
00:26:56Well, not yet.
00:26:58I think HR would hate dear about that.
00:27:01I don't give a shit about HR.
00:27:03I own HR, which means I own you.
00:27:06Well, that would be all, Miss Harris.
00:27:08You can get back to work.
00:27:10But my brother doesn't need to know about this.
00:27:25Just the man I was looking for.
00:27:40How long is it this time?
00:27:42Take a look at this.
00:27:44Blackthorn Corporation isn't doing as badly as we'd feared.
00:27:47It's not as good as when Dad was here, but still alive and kicking.
00:27:51I've got some news, but I'm not sure if you're going to like it.
00:27:57I think it can win.
00:27:58Can we take a look at this first?
00:28:00You can tell me after.
00:28:01No, it can't win.
00:28:05Okay, you have my attention.
00:28:08What is it?
00:28:09I'm afraid I have to relinquish some of my responsibilities at Blackthorn Corp.
00:28:13What?
00:28:14Why?
00:28:15I bought a hotel.
00:28:16You bought a hotel?
00:28:17The Bellevue Hotel.
00:28:18I've just signed the papers.
00:28:20Why the fuck would you do that?
00:28:22You're barely even here.
00:28:23Now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:28:25It's money from my own fund.
00:28:27You don't have to worry.
00:28:29I just thought I'd let you know because I won't be around much longer.
00:28:31All two things settled down.
00:28:35It's the hotel management.
00:28:36I'd best be off.
00:28:46This is quite a surprise.
00:28:47I mean, it's a good surprise.
00:28:50Yes, come in.
00:28:56So, this is your place.
00:29:00Yeah.
00:29:01Welcome to how the other half lives.
00:29:04I didn't mean it.
00:29:08Isn't this what your father wanted for you?
00:29:10To mingle with the lower class.
00:29:13I'm just guessing with you.
00:29:16Okay.
00:29:19These are for you.
00:29:19These are for us.
00:29:24My favorite thing.
00:29:26How did you know?
00:29:28I made a good guess.
00:29:41Somehow, I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:29:43Come on, tell me the truth.
00:29:48Okay, fine.
00:29:50You told me you really liked chrysanthemums since you were little.
00:29:54And your grandpa used to grow them in his garden.
00:29:58Yeah, I do like them.
00:29:59Unique.
00:29:59I'm glad you love them.
00:30:05I almost got you wild orchids.
00:30:07I mean, I do like them.
00:30:08I would have cooked dinner.
00:30:09But, um, but I do.
00:30:12My favorite flavor.
00:30:14Great.
00:30:16Vanilla isn't always boring.
00:30:21You're staring.
00:30:22Do I have something on my face?
00:30:23No.
00:30:26You're perfect.
00:30:29You're so beautiful, Evangeline.
00:30:34I'm quite...
00:30:35May I kiss you?
00:30:42Sorry, I don't know what came over...
00:30:45Right.
00:30:46That's all.
00:30:48Did you know Jack was going to buy the hotel where I work?
00:30:51Is this some kind of weird...
00:30:54I had no idea he was going to do that.
00:30:57My brother talks cryptically and...
00:30:59Supposed to be hanging on to your father's properties?
00:31:02Yes, we are.
00:31:04But his purchase didn't exactly make a dent in our saving.
00:31:09Jack just took some money out of his to buy...
00:31:11Me to watch my back.
00:31:12I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
00:31:16I think he was just saying that to freak you out.
00:31:18He wouldn't have told me about the hotel if he didn't want me to know.
00:31:21I can't believe my new boss is trying to marry me so he can get a couple million dollars.
00:31:26More than a couple billion, actually.
00:31:31I know you'll probably want to leave, but would you like some pizza?
00:31:35It's good.
00:31:37I don't want to intrude.
00:31:38I'm just inviting you to join me.
00:31:40Just two friends eating pizza and chatting back life.
00:31:44So we're close enough at least.
00:31:46Even though I kissed you?
00:31:48Yes, even though you kissed me.
00:31:59I don't like this.
00:31:59I don't like this.
00:32:00You're welcome.
00:32:11I swear to god.
00:32:11What?
00:32:16What was that?
00:32:17I noticed the look on your face.
00:32:19It's nothing serious.
00:32:21Just work.
00:32:21I don't have to deal with it right now.
00:32:28I'll be alright then.
00:32:31I just...
00:32:31Still thinking about the fact that, you know, Jack is now my boss.
00:32:45Will you bring it up with him?
00:32:46No.
00:32:49Not yet, at least.
00:32:51I think it's best if he thinks he has the upper hand for now.
00:32:57What happens next?
00:33:00I don't know, Eva.
00:33:02But I promise you, he'll do nothing stupid.
00:33:05You have my word.
00:33:16I'll have my beautiful Eva.
00:33:20Work is hectic this morning and I'm meeting until later.
00:33:23How does dinner sound tonight?
00:33:24Yours, John.
00:33:27I can't wait, thinking about nobody.
00:33:30Have a great day, Eva.
00:33:32Eva?
00:33:34Are you on your phone right now?
00:33:35This is not your personal space.
00:33:38Must I remind you that you're at work?
00:33:40And you must be focusing on that.
00:33:42My apologies, sir.
00:33:43I was just checking my calendar.
00:33:44Ah, your calendar.
00:33:46How timely?
00:33:49I promise I'm up to date on my morning tasks.
00:33:51And I'm just currently waiting for the candidates for the sous-chef world.
00:33:55I promise I haven't been slacking off.
00:33:57Well, I'll be the judge of that because I'll be supervising all interviews from now.
00:34:02Of course.
00:34:05Of course, Mr. Blackburns, sir.
00:34:08You're my first now, Miss Harris.
00:34:09There's something I need to show you and it's urgent.
00:34:14I'll be the judge of the sous-chef world.
00:34:20Please shut the door behind you.
00:34:30Is there something wrong?
00:34:31As a matter of fact, there is.
00:34:37What's this?
00:34:38Go ahead and open it.
00:34:39It's a little present from me to you.
00:34:41I'm sure you'll find the contents quite interesting.
00:34:49What's this?
00:34:49When was this taken?
00:34:50What?
00:34:52These are pictures of my brother with his little fling at a fancy restaurant.
00:34:56This isn't real.
00:34:58This is AI dog-it or something.
00:34:59I knew you'd say something like that, so I have even stronger proof.
00:35:03Yes, see, my friends of the restaurant, I am quite close with the son and he could easily get the live feed and now I owe him.
00:35:09One way or another, this is fake and I believe you.
00:35:16Oh, you have magically fallen in love with him, haven't you?
00:35:19Don't tell me you're fucking him.
00:35:23Oh wow, I didn't see this one come in.
00:35:26Wow, Johnny boy is working so quickly good on him.
00:35:29Since you have, you know, been of the doubt for him, why don't you give him a call and ask for the camera footage yourself?
00:35:45There's only one way to find out now, isn't it?
00:35:47Call him.
00:35:59Hello, it's me.
00:36:11How's it going?
00:36:17You're in a meeting right now, is that correct?
00:36:21Uh-huh.
00:36:26Oh, Eva, don't be so sad.
00:36:30These women don't last long and I'm sure he's going to call and say it's just a business medium, but anyone with eyes and ears and a head will know that's nothing like that.
00:36:43Why are you doing this?
00:36:45Oh, I want to make sure that you know what kind of man my brother really is.
00:36:49Then let me guess, you're the upstanding brother who's doing his betterment for the world, is that what this is?
00:36:56You can't pretend, even for a second, you haven't done this for your own nefarious purposes.
00:37:04No matter how selfless you want to appear, you're no better than your brother.
00:37:07In fact, I see more similarities and differences in you two now.
00:37:14Watch your turn, young woman.
00:37:16Haven't you forgotten I'm still your boss?
00:37:19You don't want to get fired now over losing your temper for some man, do you?
00:37:23That's okay, you go back to the office now. Don't worry about the interviews, I'll take care of that.
00:37:33No, let me handle the interviews. I don't need a day off.
00:37:36Okay, fine, but make sure you're efficient. I don't want to hear any reports of my junior manager bursting into tears while screening new stuff. That'll be highly embarrassing.
00:37:49I'll make sure everything goes well.
00:37:57Hey you. How was your meeting?
00:38:01You know the one that took hours and hours of your time? It must have been really important.
00:38:11No, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight.
00:38:15I'm not feeling too good, so we'll have to make a rain check until further notice.
00:38:31I'll have one quick delivery.
00:38:35Well, it's you.
00:38:37There you are. I've been knocking for ages. Your TV was so loud. I brought you ice cream.
00:38:44That's not necessary. I'm doing okay.
00:38:47Are you sure, Yvonne? You don't look so good.
00:38:51Have you been to the doctor?
00:38:53Was everything okay with you, John?
00:38:55You sound pissed off with me.
00:38:57What's wrong?
00:38:59You're acting strange and you haven't even let me come in.
00:39:03I don't think this is a conversation we should be having in the hallway.
00:39:06Strange?
00:39:08Or am I just not all over you like the other night?
00:39:11I guess you want to repeat.
00:39:13Too bad. It's not going to happen.
00:39:15What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
00:39:17Are you going to keep spitting cryptic phrases like that?
00:39:20Or are you going to let me come in so we can have a civilized conversation?
00:39:23The ice cream's melting.
00:39:24I don't give a shit about the melting ice cream.
00:39:28Might put ruins your expensive shoes.
00:39:30The last time we spoke, you were cheerful.
00:39:33Now you're acting like a dog pissed in your cereal.
00:39:35If I said or did something wrong, just let me know, okay?
00:39:39Fuck off. That's what I want to tell you.
00:39:47Where is this coming from?
00:39:49You didn't give me a single clue that anything was wrong.
00:39:51Now you're blowing up in my face.
00:39:54You know, I ordered Chinese food, but ice cream will do.
00:39:58Are you even listening to me?
00:39:59You're acting like I'm not even talking to you.
00:40:02You came to check up on me, and you've done that.
00:40:05You brought me my ice cream, we can go any merry way.
00:40:08Don't you dare touch me.
00:40:11What the hell, Evangeline?
00:40:13You're being childish and lashing out for no good reason.
00:40:17If you didn't want to see me, you could have given me a single phone call.
00:40:21You didn't have to fake illness just to get out of seeing me.
00:40:24Yeah, whatever.
00:40:26You can see yourself out. Have a nice life, John.
00:40:29Eva, wait!
00:40:38But of course I'll pay you back. Disgust you say such a thing.
00:40:41Well, you know how things go. One good turn turns to another.
00:40:46Anyway, I've got to go. I'll call you back later. Bye.
00:40:48Hey, brother.
00:40:57What are you doing here?
00:40:59Is it a crime to come check up on family?
00:41:02What are you really doing here, John?
00:41:03I doubt family concerns brought you here.
00:41:06Why did you come to see Eva?
00:41:08I know you know she works here, and she does look gorgeous in that tight body.
00:41:12You keep her name out of your mouth.
00:41:14Ah, so I am right. You did come all this way just to see your little girlfriend.
00:41:20Don't tell me you've had a little rocky patch now, have you?
00:41:23How do you know about that?
00:41:25Maybe she told me.
00:41:27Why do I get the feeling that you had something to do with it?
00:41:31Well, why don't you ask yourself? I'm sure she'll be in here in a second.
00:41:34And funnily enough, why don't you count down with me in five, four, three...
00:41:39These are the reports you asked for?
00:41:44Ah, please come in. Right on time.
00:41:48I just finished speaking with IT. They've made the changes you've requested already.
00:41:57And I was able to export the new data into the system.
00:42:00Have you? Look, why don't you come a little bit closer? You seem a bit comfortable over there.
00:42:09You're really going to act like you can't see me right now?
00:42:12Ah, Eva.
00:42:13That'll be all now. Uh, we do need a cross-check to make sure the figures are right,
00:42:17and make sure it's all foolproof, all right?
00:42:19Okay, I'll get on to that right now, and I'll check the new schedules.
00:42:22Okay.
00:42:28Please move out of my way.
00:42:29You're acting like I'm radioactive.
00:42:31John, can you please step aside and let her get to work? Thank you.
00:42:34You stay out of this, Jack. It's none of your business. This is between me and her.
00:42:40There is nothing between you and I. In fact, I doubt there ever was.
00:42:43You fucking asshole. What bullshit did you tell her now?
00:42:52Watch your tone, young man. You're not the boss around here.
00:42:56If you don't watch yourself, Johnny boy, I might just get scared to escort your little bum bum out of here now.
00:43:01Well, whatever you did, I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
00:43:10It will be less stressful if you had a strawberry drink.
00:43:14No, I'm good with this. Thank you.
00:43:16Has my brother tried contacting you? He was quite adamant last time.
00:43:19No. No, he hasn't.
00:43:22That's good.
00:43:25Some of the staff have been approved turn-off, so we just need to adjust the budgets.
00:43:29Let me see that.
00:43:32Yeah, that's much better. I can really see this room, believe in hell.
00:43:37So I'll just need your signature here, and here.
00:43:41Have I told you how beautiful you look today?
00:43:43What?
00:43:45Don't let them be surprised.
00:43:46You surely have to know how you act around me when you dress like that.
00:43:50Yeah, you told us here. Why do you be so shy?
00:43:54I think we're done for the day.
00:43:55Oh, no, no.
00:43:57I'm going to work to the touches.
00:43:58What the hell are you doing?
00:44:00I'm fine.
00:44:10Jack, that hat let go of me.
00:44:12You're exactly what I'm doing.
00:44:13You're so naive.
00:44:14Jack, stop.
00:44:17Why is there insistence?
00:44:19I know you want it.
00:44:23Oh, this sounds so silly.
00:44:28Sexual assault, we won't get away.
00:44:35I'm fucking being truly sorry.
00:44:36What's this?
00:44:52That's a half a million dollars.
00:44:53Yours, yeah.
00:44:55Fine.
00:44:55I know you didn't just call me out of the blue for nothing.
00:44:58I was coming to you because I know you got your daughter's best interest at heart.
00:45:06She's especially got that evil.
00:45:10Now, I can tell that you know your way around words.
00:45:12Can we just get straight to the point, please?
00:45:14All right, then.
00:45:17You're aware of stipulations in my father's will?
00:45:19Sure.
00:45:20I want to marry your daughter.
00:45:22There's been a misunderstanding.
00:45:24And I need you to smooth it over.
00:45:26What?
00:45:26Because, well, you're the only one that your daughter looks up to.
00:45:29So what type of misunderstanding was this?
00:45:32I mean, why don't you just go to her and ask her forgiveness?
00:45:35I mean, my daughter doesn't hold grudges.
00:45:37I know my daughter.
00:45:38Well, that's between your daughter and I.
00:45:40I hope you understand.
00:45:41No, you see, I don't understand.
00:45:43Because you just made it my business by bringing it to me.
00:45:47Now, tell me, was this a misunderstanding of a sexual nature?
00:45:52And was this misunderstanding non-consensual?
00:45:56Well, as I said, this is between your daughter and I.
00:45:59I'm aware adults and you all know what happens behind closed doors.
00:46:03Now, you see, you are more than a twisted, rich prick.
00:46:07If you think you're going to pay me to hush my daughter.
00:46:15Yes, very so.
00:46:16Now, I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve.
00:46:20But I can tell you this.
00:46:22There's nothing compared to the wrath of an angry woman.
00:46:25Well...
00:46:26And you can best believe that if you did something bad to her, you'll pay for it.
00:46:32That I'll have to agree with.
00:46:35But how angry and heartbreak would your daughter feel when she knows this is the first sweetener
00:46:39that you got from the Blackthorns?
00:46:42Sweetener?
00:46:43I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:45I'm not done, Miss Harris.
00:46:47I didn't just come to you because I was feeling sentimental about your relationship with your daughter.
00:46:51I came here to offer you more money, an additional payment that you got from my father to introduce.
00:46:56There you are.
00:46:58I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:59Spare me the bullshit.
00:47:01I've seen your signature and I've held the documents.
00:47:03I just wonder how same your father was when he changed the world.
00:47:07Best of my knowledge, only a minor would need a guardian signature.
00:47:11What do I know?
00:47:13That's not what happened.
00:47:15But I do know that in the core of law, a carer such as yourself taking the bed of a poor man's dying...
00:47:22What do you expect me to do, Jack?
00:47:25Wave this magic wand and just miraculously have my daughter forgive you?
00:47:30I don't know about your world, but in mine it doesn't work that way.
00:47:32It's a beautiful thing right now, isn't it?
00:47:34Maybe you should mention John or Ella Sweetie's name to your daughter.
00:47:37Maybe that will help.
00:47:39I'm sure you'd be more successful and a lot richer if you knew how to play your cards right.
00:47:43Maybe you might get the forgiveness of your daughter.
00:47:45I'm not sure, but that's up to you.
00:48:00So long, the Bellevue Hotel.
00:48:04How are you doing?
00:48:18Mum, I thought I wasn't seeing you do our lunch next week.
00:48:21Aww, well I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd bring us some pizza.
00:48:26That wasn't a good room.
00:48:29Thank you for the pizza.
00:48:30Let's have this right away.
00:48:31Pleasure.
00:48:32So, how have you been doing? You look really relaxed today.
00:48:37You, um, you haven't told me that my hair looks like a bird's nest,
00:48:42or the baggy clothes I'm wearing are going to spill the air off.
00:48:45That's serious.
00:48:47Well, okay, so I can't even give you a compliment now and it's taken the opposite way.
00:48:52I can't even say nice things to you now.
00:48:54Rather tell me how is things with that blackthorn boy that you were smiling about the other day?
00:48:59Um, me and John?
00:49:01Yeah.
00:49:02Um, we're no longer together and I honestly don't know who we ever were.
00:49:08Okay, what about the other one?
00:49:09Um, I think it also starts with a J?
00:49:11Jack.
00:49:12Yeah.
00:49:13His name's Jack.
00:49:13I'll remember.
00:49:14Jack.
00:49:15How's things with him last?
00:49:16I heard, uh, he was actually not your boss or something.
00:49:19Things between us are how they should be.
00:49:22What does that mean?
00:49:23Is there something else going on?
00:49:25You know that you can talk to me, sweetie.
00:49:26It was, uh, an incident between me and Jack.
00:49:39He got physical.
00:49:40Were you guys drinking?
00:49:41No, Mum, I wasn't drinking.
00:49:44Neither was he.
00:49:45Okay, I'm just asking.
00:49:47I mean, you know, what do you think is going to happen if you're alone with your boss?
00:49:51I mean, he's a handsome boy and you guys must be attracted to each other.
00:49:56What are you saying?
00:49:57That I wanted this?
00:49:59I didn't.
00:50:00I'm just saying you can use this to your advantage.
00:50:03I mean, things didn't work out with you and John.
00:50:06Why not just go with the other brother?
00:50:08That is so messed up.
00:50:11He tried to assault me.
00:50:13Can you hear yourself?
00:50:15I've just been through something really traumatic and I won't hear any more from you.
00:50:18I can't do this with you anymore, Mum.
00:50:22Every time I think we're trying to bond, you just start making unreasonable demands and...
00:50:27Can you just please, please?
00:50:28Fine.
00:50:48I don't mind.
00:51:01I'm sorry to just engage with someone else.
00:51:04Hey.
00:51:18Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:51:24You sounded desperate.
00:51:27It was the least I could do.
00:51:29I know what it feels like not to be hurt.
00:51:31I'm sorry about that.
00:51:37I did that because I just wanted to lash out and hurt you the same way you hurt me.
00:51:43For the hundredth time, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:51:46Could you please get straight to the point?
00:51:49Why do you want to see me now?
00:51:50It's been weeks since you slammed your door in my face.
00:51:53I wanted to apologize because I opted unfairly.
00:51:59I was shown pictures in a live video of you and a beautiful Asian woman.
00:52:04Who?
00:52:06Ella Swee?
00:52:08That's ridiculous.
00:52:09She's a client.
00:52:11I know that now, but at the time it seemed like you guys were much more than clients and
00:52:16trust me, I just saw you guys live.
00:52:18Who showed you those pictures and videos?
00:52:22Who wanted to tear us apart?
00:52:27It was Jack, wasn't it?
00:52:30Yes, it was Jack.
00:52:31He completely manipulated me.
00:52:34He had access to security footage and I completely fell for it.
00:52:38I just, I realized who she was after I saw a news segment of her and her fiancé.
00:52:47Oh.
00:52:49I'm here to apologize for the unkind way I treated you and I embarrassed you and
00:52:55can you please forgive me?
00:53:08I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you, John.
00:53:14Jack is a master manipulator.
00:53:17But I can't believe he got access to the security footage.
00:53:20I could sue for violation of privacy.
00:53:23I doubt the owners thought it through.
00:53:26I don't think so either, but Jack mentioned something about owing someone a favor.
00:53:31You must be so hurt.
00:53:33I'm sorry you were put in that position.
00:53:36Of course I forgive you.
00:53:38Why are you so kind to me?
00:53:41You should make me grovel.
00:53:42I deserve it.
00:53:45There's no point in that.
00:53:47We've wasted weeks already.
00:53:50I've missed you so much.
00:53:52I've missed you too.
00:54:01My lips are as soft as I remember.
00:54:05I miss you too.
00:54:08Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:54:12Did you see something?
00:54:14No, it's just you were friendlier to him that day at the office.
00:54:19No, nothing happened except when he tried to force himself upon me.
00:54:25It was late.
00:54:26It was late.
00:54:26He did what?
00:54:29He didn't rape me.
00:54:30That fucking asshole!
00:54:32That son of a bitch!
00:54:33I'm gonna fucking kill him!
00:54:36Don't make excuses for him.
00:54:38What he did was fucked up!
00:54:52What the fuck's going on here?
00:54:57What the fuck does it look like, brother?
00:55:00My darling and I are just enjoying dinner together in our family home.
00:55:04Isn't that right, sweetheart?
00:55:05Yes, it is.
00:55:07The pasta is the best I've ever tasted in my life.
00:55:10Now, isn't that nice?
00:55:13Jack, surely you'd like to join us?
00:55:15Join you.
00:55:17No, thank you.
00:55:19Okay.
00:55:20Your loss.
00:55:23It's good to see you both have reached each other again.
00:55:26How sweet.
00:55:27You must be thrilled.
00:55:29Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:55:33It only took us a short while to find each other and that's how you know it's real.
00:55:37Right, and you've been missing work because of your love?
00:55:45No.
00:55:50I've been missing work because my boss assaulted me.
00:55:54I had to resign.
00:55:56Or maybe HR hasn't mentioned that to you yet.
00:55:59Assault?
00:56:01You both know you seduce me.
00:56:03What assault?
00:56:05And HR?
00:56:05Well, John, she's fucking lying.
00:56:09Can you repeat that please?
00:56:11Slower this time.
00:56:13I don't think I quite heard you the first time.
00:56:16She's a...
00:56:17What?
00:56:17Eva's only here because her mommy sold her off.
00:56:22You don't know mommy told you this.
00:56:25What the hell are you talking about?
00:56:27What do you mean she sold me off?
00:56:29You don't know.
00:56:31Mama Harris put an extra clause into the claim.
00:56:35Because she wanted more money.
00:56:37What, you think she's just going to kick her daughter up a social ladder?
00:56:41No, no, no.
00:56:42She was only going to prove your father gave something in return.
00:56:46You're lying!
00:56:47Am I lying?
00:56:58Am I lying?
00:56:59Maybe you should ask her yourself.
00:57:02It's not the first time she's had Blackthorn money stuffed in her pockets.
00:57:06But did she surprise you with a visit?
00:57:11Yeah, she did.
00:57:13So that was you.
00:57:14You pushed it on me.
00:57:17My lips are sealed.
00:57:18When did you become such a terrible person, Jack?
00:57:23You're destroying the relationship between a mother and a daughter just to get what you want.
00:57:28She's already made her choice.
00:57:30Eva has chosen me just as I have chosen her.
00:57:34It's over, Jack.
00:57:37No, no.
00:57:39It's not over.
00:57:49Please say something.
00:57:50I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry we've put you through so much.
00:57:58You didn't ask for any of this.
00:58:01And I'm sorry that your mother hasn't been honest with you.
00:58:04That revelation about her must have hurt so much.
00:58:09I wonder why she just pushed Jack's assault to me on the side.
00:58:12She just...
00:58:18She doesn't seem to care about the trauma I went through.
00:58:26She just told me, look on the bright side.
00:58:32It's crazy that she pushed Jack onto me after what he did.
00:58:38I've been so stupid.
00:58:42Don't say that.
00:58:44You're kind, smart, and good.
00:58:48And vulnerable to people trying to take advantage of you.
00:59:01Will you marry me?
00:59:07Will you marry me?
00:59:08Yes, yes, John, yes.
00:59:20Now we can finally put an end to all of this bullshit with my brother.
00:59:23I can't wait to see the look in his face when we tell him I'm going to engage.
00:59:28He's going to be furious.
00:59:31Okay, but um, we have to tell the lawyer about what's happened.
00:59:38Yes.
00:59:39But first, we need to celebrate.
00:59:43You're going to be my lovely wife, Eva.
00:59:46Cheers to us.
00:59:47Cheers.
00:59:48Cheers.
00:59:59What the heavenly fuck?
01:00:01We'll see about this.
01:00:08When can I see you?
01:00:09It's urgent.
01:00:11When are you available?
01:00:12Yes, it's about the will.
01:00:14I'm going to help my officer as I can.
01:00:17No, John doesn't need to know about this.
01:00:19It's not his concern.
01:00:20You got yourself into this, and the only way out for you is to hold up your end of the bargain.
01:00:33My end of the bargain?
01:00:34You tampered with a contract, and now everything is messed up.
01:00:38My daughter won't even speak to me.
01:00:41You can't just...
01:00:41What was that?
01:00:46She just flew out of here.
01:00:49Um, that's confidential.
01:00:51Yeah, yeah, of course it is.
01:00:52Man, whoever that was, she was pissed.
01:00:55You said you had something to tell me.
01:00:56Something about the will?
01:00:58I have news.
01:01:00Please, sir.
01:01:01This is going to blow everything up in the air.
01:01:03Yes, yes, I'm listening.
01:01:05I want to contest my father's will.
01:01:07What?
01:01:08Well, he signed it, and he was forced by Hannah Harris.
01:01:10He was probably under duress.
01:01:12What?
01:01:12Well, until this gets cleared up, the will stands.
01:01:15If I have to sue John over it, so be it.
01:01:23Oh, Jack.
01:01:25Not so fucking funny.
01:01:28The contract your father signed with Hannah Harris was not signed under duress.
01:01:32How can you be so sure of my private investment?
01:01:34Sure, because I was there when it was signed.
01:01:36It was your father's idea to begin with.
01:01:38But that's not possible.
01:01:42It can't be.
01:01:43But why would my father sign a contract?
01:01:46He knew Hannah Harris wanted money for her incentive.
01:01:49But he also made sure she had a reason to stay involved even after the money was paid to her.
01:01:57What reason?
01:01:57Your father was a smart man, though not unkind.
01:02:03He didn't get so wealthy by being a pushover.
01:02:06He included a clause in the contract that stipulated that if Angeline did not marry one of his sons,
01:02:11Anna would have to repay the money.
01:02:13Let me guess, Anna didn't know about that before she signed?
01:02:16She did not.
01:02:17Foolishly, she did not read the fight in print.
01:02:22Your father left an apology note and me to explain exactly why he did what he did.
01:02:27Fuck.
01:02:28Jack Blackthorn, this is neither the time nor the place of that kind of language.
01:02:33Man, I was so close getting this right.
01:02:38Why is my father always one step ahead?
01:02:41Even from the fucking grave.
01:02:43I understand you're upset, but if you had taken this to court,
01:02:46you would have been humiliated when you got thrown out.
01:02:48You did yourself a favor by coming to me first, son.
01:02:52I'm not your fucking son.
01:02:54You know what?
01:02:54This is all freaked from the side.
01:02:56You just want little Johnny boy to win, huh?
01:02:58Guess what?
01:02:59I'm not going to give over and lay on my fucking grave.
01:03:29What are you doing here?
01:03:32Where's your daughter?
01:03:33Not here.
01:03:36I told you she's not here.
01:03:37Are you deaf?
01:03:39Heron's perfectly fine.
01:03:40Thank you very much.
01:03:42This is where your daughter lives in this shithole.
01:03:44Because they always show her fucking face for free money.
01:03:46Like mother, like daughter.
01:03:49Oh, excuse me.
01:03:50You can't come into my daughter's place and then throw insults around.
01:03:54What are you doing here anyway?
01:03:55You crazy.
01:03:56You need to get out till I'm pulling the cops.
01:03:58Funny for you.
01:03:59You're not even supposed to be here.
01:04:00I'm her mother.
01:04:01I have a key.
01:04:04It was you at the lawyers office earlier, wasn't it?
01:04:07You need to get out.
01:04:11If you didn't fuck things up with your daughter, eh?
01:04:13I would've had the upper hand.
01:04:14Oh, excuse me.
01:04:15If you weren't such a sleazy, creepy son of a bitch,
01:04:18you may have stood a chance with her.
01:04:21You're dirty golding like your dirty daughter, eh?
01:04:23I guess that girl doesn't fall too far from the tree in the hazard.
01:04:28I guess that girl doesn't fall too far from the tree in the hazard.
01:04:32Hannah, what the fuck?
01:04:33Say something.
01:04:37What are you saying?
01:04:38Hey, help.
01:04:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:04:43Hannah, don't you, don't you get dying on me?
01:04:45Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:04:53There's a woman that she's unconscious she's suddenly fell.
01:05:00I don't know anything about medication.
01:05:01She's just, she's just, she's hit her head.
01:05:07Get up your fucking fucking job, get up.
01:05:09What the fuck is it?
01:05:14Fuck!
01:05:39I feel like I'm going to miss this place I feel like I was small but I was independent
01:06:08I was independent and happy here
01:06:11Don't get too comfy, we're only here to pick up your things
01:06:15You're going to love living in the National
01:06:20That's weird
01:06:22What's weird?
01:06:24Something feels off, I don't know, the apartment seems cleaner than I remember
01:06:30Maybe your mother came by, you mentioned she had a key
01:06:34And I hated this place, cleaning is the last thing she'd do here
01:06:39Maybe you just left it cleaner than you remember
01:06:45I'd like to bring some of my cookware, they're not sophisticated but I like them
01:06:53What about your toiletries?
01:06:55Good idea, I just need to pack my things from the bathroom
01:07:07Hey Eva, I need to go
01:07:11Wait, what? Why?
01:07:13I've been ignoring Jack's calls but he just sent me a message saying there's been an emergency
01:07:19I need to go meet him
01:07:21I hope he's okay, he's still your brother-in-law
01:07:24I'm sure he's fine
01:07:26It's probably just a flat tire or something
01:07:29I'll be back ASAP
01:07:31Better stay tuned, okay?
01:07:43Better stay tuned
01:07:57What's out there?
01:07:58Anytime
01:08:00Again
01:08:02It's
01:08:03I don't know you, Pats.
01:08:11Pats.
01:08:13Cute.
01:08:15You.
01:08:17You sent one a message.
01:08:19Yes, I did.
01:08:21What are you doing?
01:08:23Where did you come from?
01:08:25Is this one of your games you're playing yet?
01:08:27Give me that! That's Mum's!
01:08:29I'll take that, thank you.
01:08:31You didn't answer my question.
01:08:35What are you doing inside my apartment?
01:08:37I was unlocked and I just walked in.
01:08:39That's impossible.
01:08:41I would have heard you. Why did you text John about an emergency when you were already coming here yourself?
01:08:45What are you trying to imply?
01:08:47Either that I broke into your house or I played to my brother.
01:08:51I'm not trying to imply anything.
01:08:53But something isn't adding up.
01:08:55Come on, come on, Eva.
01:08:57You can trust me.
01:08:59We're going to be family after all.
01:09:01Why did you know about our engagement?
01:09:03Maybe John told me.
01:09:05No, we didn't.
01:09:09Let go of me!
01:09:11Stop me, please. Listen.
01:09:13No!
01:09:14Listen!
01:09:15No!
01:09:16No!
01:09:17Don't say anything. Keep your mouth shut.
01:09:22Hello, brother.
01:09:32No, I don't know where she is.
01:09:34That mistake was a mistake.
01:09:36I'm out of town right now.
01:09:38Sorry I had something in my throat.
01:09:42Well, wherever she is, I'm sure she'll be home soon.
01:09:48What do you want? Why are you doing this?
01:09:54I figured that one out yet.
01:09:56What I do know is that my brother would do anything for you.
01:09:58Maybe I want to see him suffer.
01:10:00What did you do with Anna?
01:10:01Stop it!
01:10:02Fucking stupid questions!
01:10:04What do you do with Anna?
01:10:05What do you do with Anna?
01:10:06Stop it!
01:10:07Fucking stupid questions!
01:10:08What do you do with Anna?
01:10:09What do you do with Anna?
01:10:10Stop it!
01:10:11Fucking stupid questions!
01:10:12I don't do this.
01:10:13I don't do this.
01:10:14I don't do this.
01:10:15I don't do this.
01:10:16You be a goofy little girl now.
01:10:18Don't fucking move.
01:10:19I'll pull a bullet in your head.
01:10:21You be a goofy little girl now.
01:10:23Don't fucking move.
01:10:24I'll pull a bullet in your head.
01:10:25I.
01:10:26I won't.
01:10:27I won't say anything.
01:10:28No, you know I'll be fucking serious.
01:10:31Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
01:10:34Just...
01:10:35Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
01:10:38Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I'll send you to meet your mother.
01:10:42What did you just say?
01:10:44What about my mother?
01:10:46Oops.
01:10:47Did I say something?
01:10:48Hey! Do you know how to drive a car? Get in the drive seat now.
01:11:00Yes, I understand. But this is an emergency. Mr. Blackthorn would appreciate it if the matter was dealt with urgently.
01:11:09I understand. Thank you.
01:11:15Is there any news yet?
01:11:18I'm afraid not. The Commissioner insists that we have to wait at least 48 hours before we can declare her missing.
01:11:24Dammit. It's the same thing they told me. Can't they even pretend to care?
01:11:30Let me try calling Jack again.
01:11:32He isn't answering. I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:11:36First he sends me those cryptic text messages and now he's not answering my calls.
01:11:41Maybe he'll answer yours.
01:11:43I doubt it, but I can try just in case.
01:11:48This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day. He wanted to contest your father's will. He was ready to sue you.
01:12:02What? What do you mean he was ready to sue me?
01:12:07He believed Anna tricked your father into giving her money. And he wanted to prove that that may have impacted the world.
01:12:14That's preposterous. Why wasn't I told about this earlier?
01:12:17I didn't think it was important because I clarified to Jack that he was misguided.
01:12:22I should have been informed immediately. You're meant to be impartial, remember?
01:12:25Hello, Johnny boy. Frankie. What a great evening this is tonight, isn't it?
01:12:41Jack.
01:12:42You're so surprised, are you? Bet you didn't see this one coming out, did you?
01:12:45Huh?
01:12:47Keep him where I can see him now.
01:12:49You don't have to do this, Jack.
01:12:51No, I guess. I've done something really stupid. I can't take it back now.
01:12:56What did you do? We can work this out, just the two of us.
01:13:00You did something to my mother. Isn't that right, Jack?
01:13:03Shut up, you know what I'm talking about.
01:13:09I found Anna's earring in my apartment, and then he threatened to shoot me.
01:13:14No, no, no, no. It's an accident. How do you mean to die? How do you mean to kill her?
01:13:21No!
01:13:26It's okay. Like you said, it was just an accident. We can work this out together.
01:13:32I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to come this way. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
01:13:38It's okay, brother. We can work this out, just the two of us, before all this craziness happened.
01:13:47No, it's not again! You mad at my mother!
01:13:50Eva, no!
01:14:02Why, don't we?
01:14:03No, there's even a little easier one.
01:14:04Yes, yes, yes.
01:14:05I ruined it.
01:14:11No.
01:14:13You have to meet these shakes and wait a minute.
01:14:15Yes!
01:14:16The one first step is turning around the wheel to enamor,
01:14:19no, not one man.
01:14:21You need salt in it.
01:14:23But how do you see it paperили compared to the day?
