00:00:00I don't know what kind of trash is under that discount rack!
00:00:02Oh!
00:00:05We're insane! Get off me!
00:00:07Stop!
00:00:13No, no, no, no!
00:00:19Please let go!
00:00:25Let you leave?
00:00:27We gave you life!
00:00:29You owe us everything!
00:00:33You adopted me, but you never spent a penny on me!
00:00:36I paid for everything! Money, school, everything!
00:00:39You're trying to keep score now?
00:00:41Too late!
00:00:44You're coming with us!
00:00:46No!
00:00:47No, I won't!
00:00:48I won't go!
00:00:50Stop!
00:00:52What are you doing?
00:00:55This is a family matter!
00:00:57Mind your own business!
00:00:59This restaurant is owned by the Earl of Devon!
00:01:03Oh, Devon!
00:01:03No one makes trouble here!
00:01:06Let her go!
00:01:09This is my daughter!
00:01:11She's leaving with me!
00:01:12No, I'm not their daughter!
00:01:14Shut up!
00:01:15How dare you hit her!
00:01:19She's-
00:01:20Who is she to you?
00:01:22Oh, wait, is she your mistress?
00:01:24Is that why you're so protective of her?
00:01:26Oh, little whore!
00:01:28Already fleeping your way up, aren't you?
00:01:31Watch your filthy mouth!
00:01:34I don't care who you are to Emma!
00:01:36She's leaving with me!
00:01:38No one's going to stop me!
00:01:40Enough!
00:01:43You dare touch my granddaughter?
00:01:45Emma!
00:01:57At last!
00:01:58My-my-my-my precious girl!
00:02:01Who exactly are you?
00:02:03And what's Emma to you?
00:02:06Huh, rich old man!
00:02:09Now I see you went right from the hospital to jump into his bed!
00:02:14You were born for this, weren't you?
00:02:17Emma!
00:02:18Selling yourself for cash?
00:02:21How pathetic!
00:02:29Stop it! I don't know him!
00:02:31Defending a stranger?
00:02:33Like we believe that!
00:02:34Oh, since you're her sugar daddy, why don't we sell you this embarrassment?
00:02:41One hundred thousand!
00:02:43Then you take her, and we vanish!
00:02:46Idiots!
00:02:47Do you have any idea who you are talking to?
00:02:51My deepest apologies for this disrespect, Lord Devon.
00:02:57What?
00:02:59Lord Devon?
00:03:01Impossible!
00:03:02This is how you treat Emma!
00:03:04Never!
00:03:05Oh, we love Emma!
00:03:07Absolutely!
00:03:10Lies!
00:03:11All lies!
00:03:13Emma!
00:03:18Henry!
00:03:19She needs medical assistance immediately!
00:03:21Go!
00:03:32That runaway girl?
00:03:36She's in this restaurant.
00:03:48Wait.
00:03:52Wait.
00:03:55Isn't that Lord Devon's car?
00:03:57What's he doing here?
00:03:58No, who was that Horace's granddaughter?
00:04:02She never fucked her way.
00:04:03If she hadn't escaped the hospital, her organs would be sold to the Hastings by now.
00:04:07Where's the girl?
00:04:08Who the hell are you?
00:04:09What girl?
00:04:10Where did this stuff come from?
00:04:11Get your hand off your freak!
00:04:12The girl whose organs you almost sold.
00:04:14The Earl just took her.
00:04:15To Devon House.
00:04:16Now.
00:04:17Don't worry, Lord Devon.
00:04:18She fainted from blood loss.
00:04:19With nutrition she'll recover soon.
00:04:25Good.
00:04:27Thank you Henry.
00:04:29The mother used to help her.
00:04:30And I will have no doubt that you had to run away.
00:04:31Where did this stuff come from?
00:04:33Get your hand off your freak...
00:04:34The girl whose organs you almost sold.
00:04:36The Earl just took her.
00:04:38To Devon's house.
00:04:39Now.
00:04:43Don't worry, Lord Devon.
00:04:45She fainted from blood loss.
00:04:46With nutrition she'll recover soon.
00:04:47Good.
00:04:49Oh, my darling granddaughter, you woke up.
00:04:58Where am I?
00:05:0516 years.
00:05:0716 years we've been searching for you.
00:05:10And you're home.
00:05:14This DNA test, it proves that you are my granddaughter.
00:05:19You are Emma Drake.
00:05:26You're truly my grandfather?
00:05:28Yes.
00:05:31I thought I didn't have any family left.
00:05:37I promise you no one will ever hurt you again.
00:05:49The entire Devon household welcomes Lady Emma Drake home.
00:06:02Welcome home, Lady Emma.
00:06:04Hi, everyone.
00:06:08Henry, bring up the gifts for Emma.
00:06:10Henry, bring up the gifts for Emma.
00:06:23Just a few last-minute purchases I did, nothing special.
00:06:25But I will give you something worthy at the next auction.
00:06:26Glad you came.
00:06:27Glad you came.
00:06:28Glad you came.
00:06:29When you're not around, I've been broken.
00:06:32Glad you came.
00:06:34Glad you came.
00:06:35Glad you came.
00:06:37Glad you came.
00:06:40When you're not around, I've been broken.
00:06:45Glad you came.
00:06:47Glad you came.
00:06:52Also on the list, a controlling stake in Devon's Pharmaceuticals.
00:06:5716 luxury units in Mayfair's Jade Complex.
00:07:01And two Manhattan Imperial Bank branches.
00:07:04All yours.
00:07:06Grandpa, this is insane.
00:07:09I can't possibly take all of this.
00:07:11This necklace, it has witnessed our family's entire history.
00:07:32And now you're part of that story.
00:07:36Thank you, Grandpa.
00:07:37In two days' time, I will announce to everyone at the Family Reunion Banquet
00:07:44that you are my only granddaughter.
00:07:47And the Solaire.
00:08:07The gown arrived by special courier, Lady Emma.
00:08:15The tailor awaits in your suite for final adjustments.
00:08:19Thanks.
00:08:21The party doesn't start for an hour.
00:08:22Go get Grandpa.
00:08:23I'll be fine.
00:08:24Mm-hmm.
00:08:25300 grand for a bloody invitation.
00:08:46That's the price of crossing Lord Devon.
00:08:48But, mailed tonight, and we're back in the game.
00:08:53One crumb from Devon's table changes everything.
00:08:57Victoria, sweetie, it's all on you tonight.
00:09:01Relax.
00:09:03Like that little nobody could outshine me.
00:09:08And when did I become Lady Devon?
00:09:10Then, I'm gonna destroy that Emma bitch once and for all.
00:09:23Well, well, well.
00:09:25If it isn't Lord Devon's little plaything.
00:09:28Guess his lordship got bored with you.
00:09:31Back to waiting tables.
00:09:32Oh, honey.
00:09:34No, this is a party for Lord Devon's granddaughter.
00:09:37Everyone here has a power and influence.
00:09:41One wrong move from someone like you could be fatal.
00:09:48Listen, when I'm speaking to you, you bitch!
00:09:52Are you deaf or just stupid?
00:09:54Move aside.
00:09:56I'm here to attend the banquet.
00:09:57You! Attending! Please. You're just crashing to snag some rich guy.
00:10:10Looks like someone else is here for that job.
00:10:13Shut your mouth!
00:10:17You cost me Lord Devon's favor once.
00:10:20Now that he's tossed you aside, we are going to do him a favor and put you in your place.
00:10:34You'll show everyone what kind of trash is under that discount rack outfit!
00:10:40You're insane! Get off me!
00:10:42Stop!
00:10:44I'm here.
00:10:45Get off me!
00:10:46You again!
00:10:47Mind your own damn business!
00:10:48You psycho!
00:10:52Security!
00:10:54Somebody call security!
00:10:56Hey, what's...
00:10:58You're lucky the event's starting or you'll be finished!
00:11:04I was just going to show them our invitation.
00:11:07Show them who they're really dealing with.
00:11:09I wonder what spooked them.
00:11:10I wonder what spooked him.
00:11:17Are you okay?
00:11:24She...
00:11:25should still remember me, right?
00:11:28That... that's him!
00:11:33The murderer!
00:11:40I'm sorry.
00:11:41I'm sorry.
00:11:42I...
00:11:46It's okay.
00:11:47Why are you scared of me?
00:11:48I...
00:11:49I...
00:11:53I watched you...
00:11:54Kill that man?
00:11:55Uh, it's okay.
00:12:02Why are you scared of me?
00:12:07I watched you kill that man.
00:12:14Hey, that's a major misunderstanding.
00:12:17What really happened that day...
00:12:21No, no, no!
00:12:22No, no, no, no!
00:12:29Death's too good for you.
00:12:30Prisoners will use you long.
00:12:32They'll give you a proper welcome there.
00:12:42I have it all wrong, I'm so sorry.
00:12:46The apology's mine.
00:12:48You must have been terrifying.
00:12:52And we're the good guys. Seriously. Him saving you that day? Written in the stars.
00:13:06You saved my life and I never thanked you properly.
00:13:12Is your thank you just words?
00:13:15On my way, Grandpa. Rain check on that proper thank you.
00:13:32Damn it! I forgot to ask her name again.
00:13:35Lady Emma, what's occurred? Whose jacket is that?
00:13:45Oh, it's nothing. I...
00:13:47I...
00:14:03Filthy opportunists. Considered and handled, Lady Emma.
00:14:08Get out! Leave the premises!
00:14:17Our invitations are real. You have no right to...
00:14:20Her ladyship never wants to see your faces again.
00:14:23Her ladyship? Since when have we amended her?
00:14:27That little snake Emma!
00:14:29I bet she turned her ladyship against us!
00:14:32I bet it was her, the conniving bitch!
00:14:34I'll destroy that little whore for this.
00:14:38Lucian, for God's sakes! Is that a ripped shirt?
00:14:52Kepa, butler, to bring you a new suit right away.
00:14:55No need. I've told you before, I don't agree to this engagement.
00:15:01Emma is as lovely and graceful as her mother was.
00:15:05You should be grateful for such a match. What possible objection could you have?
00:15:11Because...
00:15:18I've met someone.
00:15:20What?
00:15:21What?
00:15:22Who is this woman?
00:15:24I'm sorry, something's came up. I'm leaving first.
00:15:31Lucian, you little brat! You will definitely regret it!
00:15:34That's your son!
00:15:35That's your son!
00:15:38Monsieur, Monsieur!
00:15:39Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!
00:15:49Thank you all for coming.
00:15:51It's with great pride and my pleasure to introduce you to my granddaughter
00:15:56and the sole heir to Devon legacy.
00:16:00Emma Drake.
00:16:01Forgive us, Lord Devon, but Lucian has been called away on important matters.
00:16:21What could possibly outrank meeting my granddaughter?
00:16:24What is going on? Is the Devon Hastings engagement off?
00:16:32Good Lord! These powerhouses straddle both sides of the law. If they clash, the whole city could tremble.
00:16:39Rumor has it Princess Alice has a thing for the Hastings heir. Can Lady Emma really compete with her?
00:16:46Hastings royal marriage. Emma is my sole heir. She doesn't need to compete with anyone.
00:16:55Right! Right! Princess or not, the Hastings family recognize only Emma as our future daughter-in-law.
00:17:05This is a symbol of the matriarch in the Hastings family.
00:17:14It's now yours.
00:17:17Speak ill of Emma, and you declare war on the entire Hastings family.
00:17:26We are quite taken with Emma, Lord Devon.
00:17:31And the engagement still stands. You have our word, yes?
00:17:36And if my son tries to weasel out, you have my permission to put a woman in Emma.
00:17:43Sweetheart, remember we're respectable citizens. All this talk of violence is, it's unseemly.
00:17:53I don't care, my son or not, no one harms Emma.
00:17:57Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. My granddaughter hasn't even agreed to this engagement.
00:18:11Grandpa, I need a moment outside.
00:18:13Okay, my daughter.
00:18:15Okay, I'm not about that.
00:18:16I'm not about that.
00:18:18I feel so good to be myself again.
00:18:19I'm not about that.
00:18:21I'm not about that.
00:18:22I feel so good to be myself again.
00:18:26I feel so good to be myself again.
00:18:44This is more like it.
00:18:56Show me your way out. Give me your side of the story. Throw me a rope in. I've drifted way too far.
00:19:10Hello again? Lucia.
00:19:14Emma. Emma. Is she Lady Emma?
00:19:20Can't be her. Lady Emma's at the gala right now. Must be a coincidence. Same name.
00:19:29Lucia?
00:19:31Hi.
00:19:36Didn't you say before that you wanted to thank me?
00:19:41Yeah.
00:19:42Back when I waitressed here, I discovered the spicy mac and uh...
00:20:03Um, you'll love it.
00:20:12Is that... my mother's gun?
00:20:16Oh, uh...
00:20:19It's a fake. Keeps creeps away.
00:20:32Lucia try it.
00:20:33Easy come and easy go.
00:20:44You're an unfading star.
00:20:50A gentle of the kind that leaves you out.
00:20:55No matter how far apart.
00:21:02I guess you could call it chance.
00:21:07But we know it's more than...
00:21:11Shouldn't you be warning Devon's bed instead of uh, hunting fresh meat?
00:21:17He'll end you when he discovers this.
00:21:20Move. Again.
00:21:21Well, I'm just looking out for a sister.
00:21:24Considerate friendly advice, hmm?
00:21:28Hello, gorgeous.
00:21:30Listen, Emma here belongs to Lord Devon.
00:21:34You cross him and you're dead.
00:21:37One, Emma belongs to no one.
00:21:40Two, spread one more lie about her and your entire family joins the marine ecosystem.
00:21:46So, who do you think you are?
00:21:48You don't deserve to know.
00:21:53Emma.
00:21:55Let's get out of here.
00:21:58Excuse me?
00:22:03Oh, okay, okay. I...
00:22:07I need to tell grandfather about Lucia and me.
00:22:09We're facing serious liquidity issues.
00:22:15This royal contract, billions in clean energy, is our only lifeline.
00:22:21But now Princess Alice is adamant that Emma must handle the negotiations herself.
00:22:27I mean, what the bloody hell do we do with that?
00:22:31Alice.
00:22:32What possible interest would Alice have with... with Emma?
00:22:36It's clear now.
00:22:39Alice is after me because of Lucia.
00:22:42It's completely deliberate.
00:22:46Grandfather, I'll do it.
00:22:48I'll represent Devon Holdings and I'll get that contract.
00:22:50You're not.
00:22:51I'll do it.
00:22:52I'll do it.
00:22:53I'll do it.
00:22:54I'll do it.
00:22:55I'll do it.
00:22:57I'll do it.
00:22:58I'll do it.
00:23:00Good lord.
00:23:02Who is she?
00:23:04The girl is positively regal.
00:23:07Mm-hm.
00:23:27Emma, darling.
00:23:28You made it.
00:23:30That business before.
00:23:32Water under the bridge, isn't it?
00:23:33isn't it? Surely you can't still be upset.
00:23:37Your Highness is too generous. I'm merely here representing Devon family to explore business opportunities.
00:23:44First time at a royal event, isn't it? Come, you must be introduced to everyone here.
00:23:51Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Emma Drake, the long-lost granddaughter of the Earl of Devon.
00:24:00So this must be the fabled Devon heiress that everyone's talking about.
00:24:06She carries herself rather well.
00:24:13There you are, Emma!
00:24:16Did you think you could hide from us forever?
00:24:21You are a grateful cow. We took you in for over a decade.
00:24:27We fed you! We clothed you!
00:24:30And the moment that Lord Devon appeared, you spread rumors about us that ruined our lives!
00:24:37Emma, you were once the apple of our eye.
00:24:40And then, Daddy had that ghastly accident last month.
00:24:44And where were you?
00:24:46Nowhere!
00:24:47Someone as heartless as you shouldn't even be allowed through the door!
00:24:53How can someone so young be so callous?
00:24:57She's bringing nothing but shame to the Devon legacy.
00:25:03Think you can use these people to destroy me? Not bloody likely.
00:25:07Your beloved daughter?
00:25:12Don't make me laugh.
00:25:15You treated me like a walking blood bank.
00:25:17One hundred and forty-eight blood transfusions for Victoria.
00:25:22And they're all on hospital record.
00:25:25You denied me food, education, everything.
00:25:33I worked myself to the bone for every penny.
00:25:37And before Grandfather tracked me down, you were planning on selling my organs.
00:25:42Good God! Sell her organs?
00:25:47Absolute rubbish!
00:25:50The traffickers are in custody.
00:25:53If you have any questions, feel free to ask the police.
00:26:05You absolute cow!
00:26:07Stop spinning these... these tails!
00:26:10Mmmm...
00:26:20Ha ha ha ha.
00:26:23Ah.
00:26:25Outrageous!
00:26:28Guards! Remove these three disruptors at once!
00:26:32Oh. Princess, wait!
00:26:35Emma.
00:26:38Are you quite alright?
00:26:41About this unfortunate incident?
00:26:45Certainly. We all believe you as the Devon Air.
00:26:48These scandalous incidents reflect poorly on the Earldom.
00:26:52I think, sadly, we'll have to pause the billion dollar royal contract until this is cleared up.
00:26:59If the royals are pulling out Devon Holden's contract, we should follow suit.
00:27:05Absolutely. All our ventures with the Devon Holdens should be frozen effective immediately.
00:27:12Please, you can't just…
00:27:15Have I just torpedoed a billion pound deal?
00:27:19Grandfather will never forgive me.
00:27:22Emma. I might have a solution to salvage our business arrangement.
00:27:27What does that entail?
00:27:29Just stand up and admit you're a fraud.
00:27:33And that you have no relation to the Earl of Devon and you made it all up.
00:27:36That way your scandalous incidents won't reflect back on Devon Holdings and we can continue our partnership as is.
00:27:45Alice. This is just personal vendetta disguised as public concern.
00:27:51And what if it is?
00:27:53Refuse me and by dawn tomorrow, the Devon legacy, centuries in the making, will crumble because of you.
00:27:59I…
00:28:00That billion pound deal?
00:28:05I'd like to see who has the audacity to mistreat my granddaughter now.
00:28:18Your lordship, what an unexpected pleasure.
00:28:22We're leaving, darling.
00:28:25I must say, Lord Devon, your contempt for the royal procedure is quite…
00:28:32Alice!
00:28:37Lord Devon, please forgive my daughter's impertinence.
00:28:42The clean energy partnership is of national importance and will not be jeopardized by…
00:28:48Trivial matters.
00:28:50Hmm.
00:28:52Well, perhaps you should focus on teaching your…
00:28:55Daughter some manners.
00:28:58Darling?
00:29:06Father!
00:29:07Did you not see how that old fool behaved?
00:29:09If the Devon and Hastings families unite in marriage, surely it will undermine the royal authority?
00:29:15Be quiet.
00:29:19Do you honestly believe that the billion pound contract is about partnership?
00:29:26Have no fear, Alice.
00:29:29Once Devon's cash flow collapses, the royal investment fund will acquire all their core businesses.
00:29:36And once Devon Holdings no longer exists, what other marriage proposal could there possibly be?
00:29:43And Lucian?
00:29:46Well, he'll be yours, of course.
00:29:53We're here for Princess Alice?
00:29:55She promised us ten million pounds for embarrassing Emma tonight.
00:29:59Oh, daddy!
00:30:08Princess Alice says she doesn't wanna lay eyes on the lot of you again.
00:30:12Piss off!
00:30:14But, what about the money she promised us?
00:30:16She promised us!
00:30:33Grandfather, the royal family has signed off on the billion dollar deal.
00:30:37They've even thrown in an extra 10% cash advance.
00:30:41Oh!
00:30:46Well, this is excellent work.
00:30:53Emma, what is it?
00:30:56Grandfather, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
00:31:01I have feelings for Lucien.
00:31:09And I'd like to honor our engagement.
00:31:14You're serious?
00:31:16You have feelings for the Hastings boy?
00:31:19Of all people?
00:31:21Wow.
00:31:23It appears that you two are indeed destined for each other.
00:31:28See?
00:31:30Your mother's instincts were right after all.
00:31:33So you're giving her blessing?
00:31:37Of course.
00:31:39Emma, your happiness is all that matters to me.
00:31:42But an engagement needs proper protocol.
00:31:46So I will invite the parents over next week and we can make the arrangements.
00:31:51Yes?
00:31:53My lord, an invitation from Sotheby has arrived.
00:31:59They're featuring the 18th century Wellington pocket watch you've been seeking.
00:32:04Oh.
00:32:11Well.
00:32:13We should go.
00:32:14Shortly.
00:32:16Grandfather.
00:32:17Let me go in your place.
00:32:20The Hastings got me such lovely gifts and I'd like to find something suitable at the auction to give them in return.
00:32:32Splendid.
00:32:34The 18th century pocket watch from Duke of Wellington. Starting bid will be five hundred thousand pounds.
00:32:44Six hundred thousand.
00:32:46I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front. Anything more?
00:32:51One million pounds.
00:32:56One million pounds. New bidder, lady in the back. Thank you, ma'am. Do I have more than one million pounds?
00:33:01One point one million.
00:33:03One point one million from the lady down front. Thank you. Do we have higher than one point one million?
00:33:08One point five million.
00:33:09One point five million, the new bidder. Thank you, ma'am. Do we have more than one point five million pounds?
00:33:14Forgive me, the honorable Miss Devin. I've quite got my heart set on that watch.
00:33:21One point six million.
00:33:22One point six million from the original bidder down front. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than one point six million?
00:33:27Father's plan worked perfectly. That massive contract will have bled Devin Holdings dry by now. Let's see you wriggle out of this one. Shall we?
00:33:36Two million pounds. Two million from the lady in the second row. Thank you, ma'am. The new bidder. Do we have any higher bids than two million? Going more?
00:33:49Boss, you're never going to believe he's at the private auction right now.
00:33:53Two point five million. Two and a half million pounds from the lady down front. Would you like to go higher, ma'am?
00:33:58Three million. Three point eight million. Four million pound. Four point five million. Five million pound. Five million pounds for our new bidder in the second row. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than five million?
00:34:11Grandfather adores this pocket watch. I simply have to secure it.
00:34:16Five point five million pounds. Five point five million pounds. Highest bid from the lady in the front. Our original bidder. Any higher bids? Any more?
00:34:24Very well. Since the honorable Miss Devin is so enamored, I shall concede.
00:34:32What on earth is Alice playing on?
00:34:35Five point five million pounds going once. Five point five twice. Third and final call. Sold to the lady in the front row for five point five million pounds. Thank you, ma'am.
00:34:48Oh, Miss Devin. I do hope you brought your checkbook, darling.
00:34:52You're out position, Miss Devin.
00:35:02Please charge my card.
00:35:10That can't be right.
00:35:13It appears Devin Holdings' liquidity has been completely drained by that ten billion pound contract.
00:35:22What are you saying?
00:35:23You complete an utter fool. That massive contract you went tooth and nail to get?
00:35:30A trap, darling.
00:35:33Designed to cripple Devin Holdings financially.
00:35:36Your company?
00:35:37Is finished.
00:35:38And that precious engagement with Lucien?
00:35:44Consider it history.
00:35:46That can't be true. You're lying through your teeth.
00:35:49Oh, Emma. Stop being so painfully naive.
00:35:52Naive.
00:35:54Devin Holdings is utterly ruined.
00:35:58You don't have a safety net anymore.
00:36:00You won't even make it out the front doors of this auction house.
00:36:07Farewell, Lady Devin.
00:36:09Oh, God.
00:36:15If she's not lying, then...
00:36:18Grandfather must be...
00:36:20Auction House policies to detain old bad faith bidders for 24 hours while we conduct our inquiry.
00:36:31No, I fully intend to pay. It's just, there's an emergency. I have to attend to it immediately.
00:36:38Take the only aide to the holding room.
00:36:41Get your hands off me.
00:36:42I'll take care of her account.
00:36:50Emma, what on earth are you doing here? Are you bidding on the chairman's behalf?
00:36:58What's going on with Devin Holdings?
00:37:02Just got word. The company's facing the worst crisis in its history.
00:37:09I have to go. Right this second.
00:37:11Emma!
00:37:15Grandfather, is it... is it true about the Devin Holdings liquidity crisis?
00:37:21Wow. Well, word travels quite quickly, doesn't it?
00:37:25Is it... is it because of the Royal Billion Pound Order?
00:37:29I'm so sorry.
00:37:32This is entirely my doing.
00:37:35I brought this upon the company.
00:37:38Emma, don't torture yourself.
00:37:41This situation has rather more layers than you might imagine.
00:37:45Henry, don't try to console me.
00:37:47Lucian already told me.
00:37:50The Devin estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:37:54So the Hastings boy told you this.
00:37:56What is his game?
00:37:58He heard that we were in trouble, so he tried to extricate himself?
00:38:02Is that it?
00:38:04No.
00:38:06Lucian still doesn't know who I really am.
00:38:08And I trust him, implicitly.
00:38:11No matter what happens, it won't change anything between us.
00:38:18What is so bloody special about this Lucian, anyway?
00:38:23Grandfather, let's be honest.
00:38:26This is entirely my fault.
00:38:29If it would change anything, I would grovel in front of the princess.
00:38:34My dear...
00:38:39My dear girl.
00:38:42Do you honestly believe that those palace parasites have the strength to bring down the house of Devin?
00:38:50Grandfather, what are you saying?
00:38:53In truth, Lord Devin anticipated their maneuvers way in advance.
00:38:58Each one of their moves was thoroughly predicted.
00:39:01So you've known all this time?
00:39:05Mm-hmm.
00:39:06And I was inclined to let them save face.
00:39:09But Alice had the audacity to use her royal title to mistreat my granddaughter.
00:39:15So if that's the game they want to play, they have to brace themselves for financial ruin.
00:39:22Hmm.
00:39:24My Lord, Mr. Lucian has arrived.
00:39:26Lucian?
00:39:29What's he doing here?
00:39:32Good.
00:39:35Lucian still has no clue who I am.
00:39:38Do you think you could run interference for me?
00:39:42Yes. Yes, of course.
00:39:44Yeah, okay.
00:39:50Lord Devin.
00:39:52Lucian?
00:39:54What brings you here?
00:39:55I'm here to declare that no matter the cost. I will spare no effort to help the Devin family overcome this crisis.
00:40:02Go on, then. What's your price?
00:40:06Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:40:17He must want my blessing regarding Emma.
00:40:20Very well.
00:40:23You have my word.
00:40:25Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:40:42Lucian surely asked Grandfather for his blessing on our marriage.
00:40:59Maybe it's time he knew who I really am.
00:41:13Why are you talking about Dunyf Forsyth?
00:41:30Emma, how-
00:41:32Right.
00:41:34You're working with Devin Holdings.
00:41:35Some work thing, is it?
00:41:38This gift will explain everything.
00:41:42Lucian, get home right now! The most fantastic news!
00:42:03Oh, Lucian! Everything is set with Lord Devon. Lady Emma's and your engagement party is
00:42:11happening in three days time. What? Lord Devon himself called to say Lady Emma is
00:42:19quite pleased with the match. Silly boy, you have no idea how remarkable Emma is.
00:42:27Marrying her is like winning the lottery. I've told you I've met someone. I refuse
00:42:33to marry that imperious, domineering Lady Emma. What absolute nonsense have you been
00:42:40listening to? Lady Emma is perfectly lovely, not a haughty bone in her body.
00:42:46I've seen her true colors firsthand. Then you must need your eyes checked.
00:42:54I don't give a damn. I want Lady Emma as my daughter-in-law and if you refuse I'll end you myself.
00:43:02Now, now. Tommy, slow down. You've only hurt yourself.
00:43:12Lucian, just sleep on it. We've met Emma and she is absolutely delightful.
00:43:21Delightful. You're a perfect match.
00:43:24Perfect match.
00:43:45Emma, I promise. I won't betray you no matter what happens.
00:43:52My felicitations. Lady Emma's beauty is matched only by Sir Hastings' impeccable bearings.
00:44:04They're the perfect pairing, wouldn't you say?
00:44:07Let's drink to the Devons and the Hastings. May their combined legacy shine throughout
00:44:12all the ages. To the happy couple. To the happy couple.
00:44:26I wonder if Lucian's ready yet. Mr. Hastings is just next door. Shall I fetch him?
00:44:40Better wait until I'm fully ready. I want him to see me at my absolute best.
00:44:55Are you actually going to marry Lady Emma? But what about Emma?
00:44:59There's no way you've forgotten about her.
00:45:05Rest assured I have a plan.
00:45:07What is she doing here?
00:45:33What is she doing here?
00:45:37The Devon estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:45:43Your Lordship, you still have the audacity to throw an engagement party?
00:45:47Princess Alice, I must insist you watch what you say.
00:45:49The Devon family's century-long legacy just can't simply collapse overnight.
00:45:54Really, darling? Fabricating stories because Lucian prefers Emma?
00:46:00It's the frightfully common of you.
00:46:06Lord Devon is a crafty old fox. I understand you've been misled.
00:46:12But it's the truth.
00:46:14Look online and you'll find multiple reports of Devon Holdings bankruptcy.
00:46:18Their finances are in tatters. Stock prices through the floor, creditors at the door,
00:46:24and not a single bank willing to touch them.
00:46:31That's correct.
00:46:31Good lord, their share price is absolutely tanked in a single day.
00:46:36Looks like Devon Holdings is properly done for.
00:46:42Devon Holdings is only a hallow shell now.
00:46:45On the brink of bankruptcy.
00:46:47Isn't that correct, Lord Devon?
00:46:48What is she up to this time?
00:46:57Well, Devon Holdings is admittedly facing some minor flames.
00:47:01Minor? It's complete collapse.
00:47:06And you've only yourself to blame. Your lordship.
00:47:09Chasing after your long-lost granddaughter and offending a princess in the process?
00:47:15What did you expect?
00:47:18I'm tired.
00:47:23My lord, not to worry. The Hastings will stand with you through thick and thin.
00:47:30Absolutely.
00:47:32Have you lost your minds?
00:47:48Alice. If anyone here has lost it, it's definitely you.
00:47:56Well, well, well. Look who's finally arrived.
00:48:01That isn't the noble Miss Devon of Devonshire.
00:48:04Finally gracing us with her presence.
00:48:06Emma, I don't think this is the right time for you to be here.
00:48:12She's the bloody curse. Ever since she returned, everything at Devon Holdings has gone to hell.
00:48:17Surely you can't still be thinking of tying your family to this sinking ship.
00:48:21I'm sure anyone with sense would see that I am the only appropriate match.
00:48:24You're royal highness. Are you absolutely certain that Devon Holdings is the company going under?
00:48:43Look, poor Emma. Still floundering around desperately. This is what happens when you cross me.
00:48:52The entire Devon family will fall with you.
00:48:54Your highness. A bit cocky, aren't we?
00:49:01Let's take a look, shall we?
00:49:04Thank you, Henry.
00:49:07Did you honestly believe that shorting Devon's stock would let you gobble up my family's hundred-year legacy?
00:49:15How utterly deluded.
00:49:18Now, I caught wind of you little scheme three months ago.
00:49:22Every scrap of bad press for Devon lately planted by us.
00:49:28Designed to put your guard down so we could hit you where it hurts.
00:49:32And what I have here is a financial report for royal assets under your father's management.
00:49:39Catastrophic debt. Share prices straight down.
00:49:43The person looking at bankruptcy isn't me, your highness. It's your daddy dearest.
00:49:49What? What? No, that's absurd.
00:49:53Well, you'll discover the chief soon now.
00:50:00Emma.
00:50:02I give you my word.
00:50:03As long as I draw breath, the Devon family will never fall prey again.
00:50:11Wait, so it's the prince who's actually broke?
00:50:14Bloody hell, what a twist.
00:50:16And Lord Devon just laid the trap, waiting for her to take the bait.
00:50:20This is rubbish. You know, this is all fake. You've made it all up.
00:50:29You absolute cow!
00:50:35This is all your fault. You've wrecked everything!
00:50:37Henry, remove the princess immediately.
00:50:49I'm a princess. How dare you manhandle me?
00:50:54Oh, I neglected to mention that the Crown just officially disowned the branch of your family.
00:51:01So now, you are just a bankrupt civilian.
00:51:09That's rubbish! I am a royal princess, not a filthy commoner!
00:51:16You'll all regret this. You'll all pay for this!
00:51:20Let me go!
00:51:21I should probably go change into something less destroyed.
00:51:31Yeah, sure, sure.
00:51:36Well, that was rather dramatic, don't you think?
00:51:40Everybody, please, back to the festivities.
00:51:51Oh, Lucian!
00:52:00You're just in time. We're about to commence with the engagement ceremony.
00:52:04You're a lucky devil?
00:52:12My lord, I came prepared to aid Devon Holdings in return for your pledge.
00:52:16It seems my services were not necessary.
00:52:19Oh, well. The gesture was appreciated.
00:52:22And the promise we mentioned, already given.
00:52:27You're allowing me to break off my engagement with Lady Emma.
00:52:31I beg your pardon?
00:52:34Lucian, what the hell are you doing?
00:52:37Have you lost your mind?
00:52:39Have you completely lost your sense, you stupid boy?
00:52:44I've never loved Lady Emma.
00:52:46I'm going to ask you this question just once.
00:52:59Are you absolutely sure you want to break up this engagement?
00:53:03No regrets.
00:53:09I am entirely sure.
00:53:11No regrets whatsoever.
00:53:17Very well.
00:53:19You insult my granddaughter.
00:53:23Henry.
00:53:25Get him out of here.
00:53:35Boss, if Emma knew all that you sacrificed for her, she'd be absolutely touched.
00:53:56I don't know.
00:53:57I don't know.
00:53:57I don't know.
00:53:58I don't know.
00:54:11I don't know.
00:54:11Grandpa, what's happened?
00:54:14Emma, that revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:54:18The absolute swine Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:54:23Let's put him down like the dog he is.
00:54:31Emma.
00:54:35Don't despair.
00:54:37A bright young woman like you, you can have any man you want.
00:54:41Grandpa, I need some time alone.
00:54:52Well, well.
00:54:53If it isn't the exalted lady Emma.
00:54:57What?
00:54:57Has Lord Devon finally kicked you to the curb?
00:55:00Look at the fancy titles.
00:55:02Everyone knows Devon's holdings is finished.
00:55:06Share price in free fall.
00:55:08Cash flow's dried up.
00:55:09You're properly broke.
00:55:11You really are bad luck.
00:55:16First you destroyed us.
00:55:17Then you brought down the Earl of Devon.
00:55:20Ah, now there's no one left to protect you.
00:55:27I'm going to cut you open and sell you all for it.
00:55:33Dear Nathan, for all those years we spent keeping you fed.
00:55:37Oh, let's see who'll come to your rescue this time.
00:55:50How dare you!
00:55:54Lord Devon, what are you doing here?
00:55:57Wait, didn't the Devons go broke?
00:55:59You're harassing my granddaughter.
00:56:04What, you have a death wish?
00:56:07Come on, darling.
00:56:22Hold on.
00:56:25Emma, I knew you weren't so heartless to ask.
00:56:28Please ask Lord Devon to let us go.
00:56:30I believe this belongs to me.
00:56:42About time it came back to me.
00:56:44Don't you think?
00:56:51Remove this rubbish.
00:56:54And handle them appropriately.
00:56:56Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:56:58No, no, no, no, no, wait, wait.
00:56:59No, no, no.
00:57:00Wait, please, please, please, please.
00:57:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:57:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:03It's okay.
00:57:03Shh.
00:57:03Shh.
00:57:05The customer you're trying to reach if not
00:57:07available, please call back.
00:57:09No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:11Something's wrong.
00:57:12Emma always takes my calls.
00:57:13Oh my god.
00:57:14Holy hell.
00:57:24Boss, this changes everything.
00:57:34Emma
00:57:35is the Devon heirs.
00:57:41You should go.
00:57:43His lordship has forbidden you
00:57:44from setting foot in these grounds.
00:57:46Henry, I'm begging you.
00:57:48Please let me see Emma just once.
00:57:52It's all right, Henry.
00:57:57Well, if it isn't Lucian,
00:58:01the man who so publicly jilted my granddaughter,
00:58:05what, you come to play the victim, have we?
00:58:07My lord, I wish to apologize to both you and Emma
00:58:12for my actions.
00:58:14There's been a terrible misunderstanding.
00:58:16A misunderstanding?
00:58:18Weren't you the one who emphatically
00:58:20declared to
00:58:22not regret
00:58:24ending the engagement?
00:58:26I know I was wrong,
00:58:28but please believe me.
00:58:30Emma is the only girl I've ever truly loved
00:58:32and wanted to marry.
00:58:33No.
00:58:34No, this show of devotion is too late.
00:58:38What was between you two is finished.
00:58:42I know I broke her heart.
00:58:43I was an utter bastard.
00:58:45But I will do anything,
00:58:47anything at all,
00:58:49she'll forgive me
00:58:50and come back to me.
00:58:53It's awful.
00:58:55Lady Emma, she's been kidnapped.
00:58:58What?
00:58:58What?
00:59:03You?
00:59:12You little bitch.
00:59:15I finally got you right where I want you.
00:59:19Alice, what the hell are you doing?
00:59:21What am I doing?
00:59:24You took everything from me.
00:59:28So now,
00:59:29I'll take the only debonair to the grave with me.
00:59:31Time to say goodbye?
00:59:38The Honorable Miss Devon.

00:59:58Lucian, what are you doing here?
00:59:59You bitch!
01:00:02Why?
01:00:02Why do you always choose her?
01:00:04What does she have when I don't?
01:00:07Get her out of here!
01:00:08No!
01:00:10Let me go!
01:00:11Emma, please forgive me.
01:00:14I nearly lost you.
01:00:20You're the one who broke off our engagement.
01:00:22Why have you come for me?
01:00:25I never want to see you again.
01:00:29Emma, please.
01:00:34I had no idea you were the debonairess.

01:00:41because
01:00:42I was in love with you.
