Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Whoever has a child first, either you or your sister, will inherit the Benson Group.
00:00:22They're all ready for you.
00:00:25Welcome, Miss Benson.
00:00:27Sorry, Miss, why are you in such a rush?
00:00:31This whole inheritance thing was my grandfather's idea.
00:00:35I would rather die than let my sister run things.
00:00:38Not this one.
00:00:46Is this it?
00:00:48How am I supposed to trust that their genes are good enough for my child?
00:00:51I made sure they met the requirements.
00:00:53Over six foot two inches tall, no family history of genetic diseases, and Ivy League graduates.
00:01:00Miss Benson, I personally chose each one just for you.
00:01:03Miss Benson, you had a little too much, let me help you see your room.
00:01:08Sir, you had a little too much, let me help you see your room.
00:01:20No, I can handle it myself.
00:01:21You go.
00:01:22All right, take care, sir.
00:01:30You over there in the corner.
00:01:32Bring him to my room.
00:01:42Yes, Miss Benson.
00:01:43Miss Benson, I'm sure you know who you're dealing with.
00:01:46Well, this isn't what I expected for today, but I'm sure you know who you're dealing with.
00:01:58You talk too much.
00:02:16If you're asking for trouble...
00:02:42You're awake already.
00:02:44You were great last night.
00:02:52What do you mean?
00:02:54What, you want me to give you a pat on the back?
00:02:58Don't get greedy.
00:03:00I've given you more than enough.
00:03:04You really have no idea who I am, do you?
00:03:10I don't need to.
00:03:12Happy with last night?
00:03:28Not bad.
00:03:32Wow, if that comes out your mouth, that's a really nice compliment.
00:03:38The proposal for the bidding project has been submitted to the Palmer Group.
00:03:42But I hear there's quite a few submissions.
00:03:44Yeah, we need to land that project no matter what.
00:03:48Whatever it takes.
00:03:50Elliot Palmer just returned to the country yesterday.
00:03:52It's said he'll personally oversee this contract.
00:03:58Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:02Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:04Why does he look so familiar?
00:04:08Did you really think getting a project from the Palmer Group would be that easy?
00:04:22Aveline?
00:04:24What are you doing here?
00:04:26Just here to wake you from your daydream.
00:04:28Oh, by the way, my fiancee Zonda is going to introduce me to Mr. Elliot at the Palmer Group's bidding event.
00:04:35How does that sound?
00:04:37You and your good-for-nothing boyfriend sounds impossible.
00:04:41Don't forget, Zonda is Mr. Palmer's nephew.
00:04:45And you're just a nobody, sir.
00:04:47Unfortunately for you, Mr. Palmer's not so stupid, so I think I'll make the right decision.
00:04:55Just wait till I have this project secured.
00:04:59You'll be the first to know, sir.
00:05:13How are you feeling, sir?
00:05:14Have a few too many last night?
00:05:20Did you get, um...
00:05:22There are several companies interested in partnering on this project.
00:05:29Here are the proposals.
00:05:33Yeah, these are mediocre.
00:05:39This one from the Benson Group.
00:05:44Make sure they're invited to tomorrow's pre-bid conference.
00:05:52Mr. Palmer, I've sent the invite to the Benson Group upon your request.
00:06:06Their rep is Miss Claire Benson.
00:06:08It is her.
00:06:24What are you doing here?
00:06:26Oh, I pitched a project to the Palmer Group and got invited.
00:06:30Turns out Mr. Palmer's really interested in what I have to say.
00:06:33Don't get too confident. There's a lot that can still happen.
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:40Once I sit down with Mr. Palmer and go over the details, he'll choose me for sure.
00:06:44You love this. Just need to worry about looking pretty.
00:06:47Leave the business stuff to me.
00:06:51Claire!
00:06:52I don't let her get to you. She's just jealous.
00:06:55No.
00:06:57I'll find a way to get rid of her.
00:06:58It is him to get rid of her.
00:07:02This is where you are.
00:07:04You know that's the sweet man.
00:07:06Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:07:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:07:12Ah!
00:07:18Ugh!
00:07:20Jeez, sis, how are you so clumsy?
00:07:23What are you doing?
00:07:24You trying to ruin the conference or something?
00:07:25Who is that? Causing such a commotion at the Palmer's Group bidding event?
00:07:30I heard she's the Benson family's eldest daughter. So irresponsible.
00:07:35You pushed me!
00:07:36Oh, Claire, don't make false accusations.
00:07:40If you're going to make such a scene, you might as well leave.
00:07:43Yeah. Claire, just go. We don't want to mess up the deal and upset the Palmer family.
00:07:48I was invited. Who are you to throw me out?
00:07:51Well, as a Palmer, we can do exactly as we please.
00:07:57Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:04Mr. Palmer has arrived.
00:08:15I'm Charlie Wheeler, Mr. Palmer's secretary.
00:08:17Thank you all so much for attending the pre-bid conference.
00:08:21Mr. Palmer is tied up with some urgent matters and won't be attending.
00:08:25Thank you for your understanding.
00:08:27Well, Mr. Palmer is a bit of a mystery. It's tough to catch him.
00:08:31That's a shame. I was really looking forward to getting to know him.
00:08:33Everyone here is thinking the same thing.
00:08:36Did you really think you had a shot?
00:08:37Mr. Wheeler, I'm so sorry, but my sister was a bit clumsy and made a mess.
00:08:45I will have her leave right away.
00:08:49Miss Benson, we apologise for the complication.
00:08:52To make it right, Mr. Palmer has arranged some fresh clothes for you.
00:08:55If you'd like to follow me.
00:08:59Me?
00:09:00Yes. Please. Come with me.
00:09:09Wow.
00:09:10Does this mean she might actually get to meet Mr. Palmer?
00:09:13What luck.
00:09:15If I'd have known that, I'd have made a scene too.
00:09:21You just made things easier for Claire.
00:09:24Uncle Elliot doesn't usually miss things like this.
00:09:27I wonder what going to do.
00:09:27Sandra, help me figure out a way to sabotage Claire's proposal.
00:09:35If I get this project, I'll have more power in the company.
00:09:40I'll see what I can do.
00:09:48Charlie, can I ask you something?
00:09:50Sure thing. What's on your mind?
00:09:51Is it possible to have a chat with Mr. Palmer?
00:09:54I've done a deep dive into the Palmer Group's co-in-bidding project.
00:09:57And I've put together a solid proposal.
00:09:59I'd like to speak to Mr. Palmer in person.
00:10:03According to protocol, you would need to speak with the project manager at Palmer Group first.
00:10:07But I'll check in with Mr. Palmer.
00:10:15Wait, isn't that the escort from before?
00:10:19Has he found himself a sugar mama?
00:10:23Miss Benson?
00:10:26Mr. Palmer has left a spare change of clothes in there for you.
00:10:29We'll be right back, okay?
00:10:30Thank you, Charlie.
00:10:32You've been gone so long.
00:10:34Did you lose weight?
00:10:37Are you taking care of yourself?
00:10:40Now, Grandma keeps asking about you.
00:10:42Don't forget to visit her when you're free.
00:10:46I'll make sure I see her soon.
00:10:49You go on and keep Grandma company.
00:10:51I'll catch up until you want to finish my work.
00:10:53Mr. Palmer?
00:10:57Miss Benson mentioned that she had a detailed proposal and wants to talk to you.
00:11:02She wants to see me.
00:11:05All right.
00:11:06Oh, by the way, I need you to run a background check on Claire.
00:11:10Consider it done, sir.
00:11:12Hmm, Mr. Palmer has a great taste.
00:11:26What are you doing here?
00:11:28Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:34Weren't you the one who wanted to see me?
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:41Not bad.
00:11:42I just really see it soon.
00:11:45This is a bidding event for the Palmer Group family.
00:11:47You need to leave, like, right now.
00:11:52It's hurt.
00:11:57How did you know I was hurt?
00:12:03How do you know you weigh around everything so well?
00:12:06I've been here a few times.
00:12:12Do you treat every woman like this?
00:12:23What do you mean?
00:12:25Well, I just noticed.
00:12:26It seems you've attached yourself to a rich guest at the Palmer Group event.
00:12:31Must have some solid connections.
00:12:34I really think you've got the wrong idea.
00:12:35You know what you do, explain.
00:12:37I know you're just trying to impress me with your tricks.
00:12:39I won't be coming back to you again when you don't mean to waste your energy on me.
00:12:45Are you really sure you won't come looking for me later?
00:12:50You might end up regretting it.
00:12:51With all these options, why would I regret anything?
00:12:56Oh, Claire.
00:12:58I can't wait for you to see my true self.
00:13:04Charlie, did Mr. Palmer agree to meet with me?
00:13:07I'm sorry, Mr. Palmer isn't free today.
00:13:12When is he free?
00:13:13Can you set up a meeting?
00:13:15I shall let you know as soon as he's available to meet.
00:13:18Thank you for your help.
00:13:24Grandfather, are you okay?
00:13:27Why did you call the doctor?
00:13:29It's all your fault, Claire.
00:13:31Thankfully, the doctor got here just in time.
00:13:34Claire, what happened at the banquet?
00:13:37The Palmer group phoned me directly,
00:13:41postponing our cooperation with the Benson group.
00:13:45What? But why?
00:13:47Isn't it...
00:13:49Because you made a fool of yourself at the bidding event of course, such a sea.
00:13:53How can that be?
00:13:55There.
00:13:56You've really disappointed me.
00:14:02You know how everybody is relying on this project.
00:14:07Don't worry, Grandpa.
00:14:08Xander is going to talk to Mr. Palmer for me.
00:14:12Well done.
00:14:13Xander will have to work very hard on the cooperation.
00:14:18That isn't needed.
00:14:19I will take back the project myself.
00:14:22Um, you don't have an appointment, so you can't go up.
00:14:36Okay, fine.
00:14:37Can I make an appointment right now?
00:14:39Unfortunately, Mr. Palmer's schedule is packed for the next three months.
00:14:44So, you can leave your contact info with us, and we'll get back to you right away.
00:14:50Mr. Palmer's office is on the top floor.
00:15:14Oh, why can't I find it?
00:15:18Hey, didn't you guys finish up their repairs already?
00:15:20What are you still doing here?
00:15:22Yeah, yeah, well, I'll be right down.
00:15:24Hey, you, stop.
00:15:26Where are you going?
00:15:27Who are you?
00:15:28Security!
00:15:31Mr. Palmer, I'm so sorry to interrupt you.
00:15:34My name's Claire, Claire Benson, and we're looking for you.
00:15:36Shhh.
00:15:36What?
00:15:46What's with your outfit?
00:15:51Darling, I've bought a table for us tonight.
00:15:57Why is there a plumber here?
00:15:59Madam, I apologize, this is my mistake.
00:16:07I'll make sure to take it on the back to it.
00:16:09Okay, okay.
00:16:10Let me go.
00:16:11I just wanted to, I just wanted to speak to Mr. Palmer.
00:16:16Do you know her?
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:19I've crossed paths a few times.
00:16:24Right, all right, I can walk myself.
00:16:26I've seen a lot of women like you come around here and try and get close to Mr. Palmer.
00:16:33Let me show you, that won't work.
00:16:36It's that lady in there, Mrs. Margaret Palmer.
00:16:38If you think you're going to use her to get close to Mr. Palmer, let me be clear, that won't work.
00:16:45Mrs. Margaret Palmer having that kind of meeting in her son's office, that's a real shocker.
00:16:56How did the meeting go?
00:16:58I didn't even get to see Elliot Palmer.
00:17:00I need to find another way.
00:17:07Hello?
00:17:08Hello?
00:17:15Kathleen might be expecting.
00:17:17Are you kidding?
00:17:18Kathleen and her fiancé went to the maternity clinic together today.
00:17:24This can't be happening.
00:17:26I need to figure this out immediately.
00:17:29Keep searching for someone.
00:17:31Don't hold back on the cost.
00:17:32I need this tonight.
00:17:33Okay.
00:17:41See, are you telling me Claire was looking for a male escort?
00:17:45Yes, sir.
00:17:48Her grandfather has made it clear that only those who can provide a third generation first
00:17:52will inherit the Benson family business.
00:17:55So she came up with this absurd plan and she thinks I'm one of them.
00:17:59I also heard that she's on the lookout for a male escort tonight.
00:18:04It seems she didn't have any luck last time around.
00:18:09I need to find out why she's meeting these escorts tonight.
00:18:11I've got loads of chicks up my sleeve.
00:18:24So I'll definitely please you.
00:18:27Child's up.
00:18:29Next.
00:18:31Uh, that's Ben.
00:18:32Uh, I, uh, my name is Craig.
00:18:36Uh, uh.
00:18:38You can't even say your own name.
00:18:39Next.
00:18:41Oh, this one looks nice.
00:18:44Look at those biceps.
00:18:47Skipping leg day, though.
00:18:52Who are these people you're bringing to me?
00:18:56I just want someone who feels right.
00:18:59Do you have any specific requests?
00:19:01He was definitely the best.
00:19:17I shouldn't have been so tough on him.
00:19:20The one in black looks decent.
00:19:22Bring him to my room.
00:19:23Mr. Palmer, what can I do for you?
00:19:41Quit.
00:19:42Why?
00:19:43Why would someone say no to my offer?
00:19:56He mentioned he had an emergency.
00:19:59Okay, so hire someone else then.
00:20:03I saw one of the other guys like a moment ago.
00:20:06He's not available either.
00:20:08What, he had an emergency as well?
00:20:11No, Miss Benson.
00:20:12He's already been hired by someone else.
00:20:14What about the others?
00:20:15I just spoke to the manager and he said...
00:20:21He said what?
00:20:22There's only one escort left in the entire place.
00:20:25How is that possible?
00:20:27The manager said...
00:20:29A VIP booked out all the others.
00:20:32All hired by one person.
00:20:34That is quite a craving.
00:20:41All right, let's just go with the one that's available.
00:20:53You again?
00:20:54Yeah, I just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:04I just wanted to be sure who the father of your baby was.
00:21:34Is that the AC or something?
00:21:45Give me your phone.
00:21:58I'll call you when I'm ready again.
00:22:04Just don't book anyone else and tell us.
00:22:09Okay, well, I'll just be waiting for you, okay?
00:22:18I heard a VIP dropped a load of cash in here yesterday.
00:22:23You mean Mr. Palmer?
00:22:25Mr. Palmer?
00:22:28Elliot Palmer
00:22:30Was in here last night.
00:22:34Oh, he was definitely here, if you know what I mean.
00:22:40You mean...
00:22:43You didn't hear it from me, but Mr. Palmer asked for all the male escorts.
00:22:49I can't believe Elliot would be into something like that.
00:22:53But I guess if Margaret is a wild card, why wouldn't her son?
00:22:57No wonder they're related.
00:22:59Does Mr. Palmer come here often?
00:23:01That was his first visit.
00:23:04Please do let me know if he comes again.
00:23:07That might not be the best idea.
00:23:09No worries, Ms. Benson. I'll handle it.
00:23:10Hello?
00:23:11Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:15Get home right now!
00:23:16Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:17Get home right now!
00:23:18Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:19Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:20No worries, Ms. Benson. I'll handle it.
00:23:21Hello?
00:23:22Claire, do you even realise the trouble you've caused?
00:23:23Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:24Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:25Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:29Claire, even if you are looking for a guy, you should need to settle for an hour.
00:23:30Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:31Claire, even if you are looking for a guy, you should need to settle for an hour.
00:23:32Claire, do you see the mess you've created?
00:23:47Claire, even if you are looking for a guy, you should need to settle for an escort.
00:24:00The gossip is already everywhere, saying your personal life is a disaster.
00:24:05And it's hitting Benson's stock prices.
00:24:10Claire, I'm very disappointed.
00:24:13Grandfather, it's a misunderstanding. Clearly. I was at the bar for business.
00:24:20I actually have a boyfriend.
00:24:23A boyfriend? Ooh. How did I not know about that?
00:24:29Since when do you need to know my personal life?
00:24:34Why not have him come to Grandpa's birthday in a few days?
00:24:40Have him meet Grandpa.
00:24:43Nothing's got a good point.
00:24:45I want to see if he's a good fit.
00:24:48If he is, we can check and handle things early.
00:24:51Quiet the rumours and boosts of stock prices.
00:24:59Yes, Grandpa.
00:25:00Here. This is for you.
00:25:05You're so generous.
00:25:17Sir, last night you were...
00:25:28Thank you for your arrangements last night.
00:25:30Alright.
00:25:35Alright. See you.
00:25:40Miss Benson really is something else.
00:25:42It was just yesterday she was asking me about Mr Palmer.
00:25:45Look at them now.
00:25:47So close already.
00:25:48Isn't Alfred your boss?
00:25:53Why didn't he just call you sir?
00:25:55He did?
00:25:57He was always nice to us.
00:26:00Speaking of last night, I heard Mr Palmer rented up the whole place to male escort.
00:26:05You knew the mysterious Mr Palmer had such wild tastes.
00:26:10I wonder if he's around.
00:26:11He's probably too busy in bed.
00:26:13Is that why you wanted to see me?
00:26:16No.
00:26:19I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:26:25Are you for real?
00:26:27Well, it's just an act to help me deal with my grandfather.
00:26:33Do you think this will work?
00:26:34Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're happy with the deal.
00:26:37One of them won't cut it.
00:26:39Fine, what do you want?
00:26:41Don't be too greedy.
00:26:44I just want...
00:26:47You.
00:26:53From now on, you're...
00:26:55a young entrepreneur.
00:26:57Just returning home from Mrs.
00:27:00Alright.
00:27:02Let's go find you an outfit.
00:27:04What?
00:27:05Are you saying Mike won't let me borrow the clothes?
00:27:06Yes, that's right.
00:27:07Mr Brown decided not to lend out anything.
00:27:08Borrow it?
00:27:09Why didn't you just buy it?
00:27:10Mike's design is the most exclusive in the country.
00:27:11Even celebrities from overseas have to book a year in advance to wear his clothing.
00:27:13It's not something you can just buy.
00:27:14We had a deal.
00:27:15Where is Mike?
00:27:16Where is Mike?
00:27:17Where is Mike?
00:27:18I want to speak with him personally.
00:27:19He's not here.
00:27:20Or...
00:27:21he's just avoiding me.
00:27:22Enough.
00:27:23Enough.
00:27:24I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:25Why?
00:27:26I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:27Why?
00:27:28With all this recent media attention around you,
00:27:30aligning my brand with you right now,
00:27:31aligning my brand with you right now is not like you.
00:27:32I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:37Especially considering I can't control who may end up in my designs.
00:27:38Oh, I hope you understand.
00:27:39I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:40I can't lend you the outfits, my love.
00:27:41Why?
00:27:42With all this recent media attention around you, aligning my brand with you right now
00:27:59is not ideal.
00:28:00Especially considering I can't control who may end up in my designs.
00:28:05Oh, I hope you understand.
00:28:07It's nothing personal.
00:28:08I just have to prioritize what's best for me and my brand.
00:28:15What's the issue here?
00:28:17You!
00:28:18Oh, Mr. Pike!
00:28:19Mike, is it?
00:28:20That's me.
00:28:21So, um, I'm hearing that...
00:28:24I'm not worthy to wear your clothes.
00:28:27Oh, no, no, no, no, not at all.
00:28:29It would be an honor if you were to wear my designs.
00:28:32Sorry, is this how you treat all your customers?
00:28:37Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Spencer.
00:28:41This is all my fault.
00:28:42Why the sudden change in attitudes?
00:28:44Well, this gentleman's style and presence aligns perfectly with my brand.
00:28:53Oh, please, please.
00:28:54If I may, if I may.
00:28:55Who says that looks can't pay the bills?
00:29:00Whoo!
00:29:01That's you like a glove.
00:29:02Well, it was styled just right for this gentleman.
00:29:07Mm-hmm.
00:29:08Let's see what Kathleen has to say this time.
00:29:12Hey, just remember, this is a 1945 chateau to John Rothschild.
00:29:25Just say that you bought it.
00:29:27I already told you I have a gift.
00:29:32It's on its way to my shop.
00:29:33Hey, just remember, this is a 1945 Chateau to John Rothschild.
00:29:37Just say that you bought it.
00:29:39I already told you, I have a gift. It's on its way.
00:29:42What could you ask if they're gone?
00:29:44I know your job is tough. Don't go crazy with it, okay?
00:29:47Just keep it short. Don't let anything slip.
00:30:01Hello, Mr. Benson.
00:30:02My name's Elliot. I'm Claire's boyfriend.
00:30:05Elliot.
00:30:07Please take a seat.
00:30:12Where on earth did Claire find a guy like him?
00:30:16That's a mic design, isn't it?
00:30:19Don't worry. I heard Claire went to a bar the other day.
00:30:28She probably hired him.
00:30:29I'll expose her this week.
00:30:32So, Elliot, what do you do?
00:30:40Well, I work...
00:30:41He...
00:30:41Well, he just moved back to the country and started a construction company.
00:30:47Oh, isn't that something. The Benson group's just getting into construction, too.
00:30:55Why not have Claire's boyfriend share his future plans with Grubb or maybe even share some advice?
00:31:03Well, he's just starting out. You know, he's just figuring it out right now, learning the ropes.
00:31:11Claire, can your boyfriend not speak for himself?
00:31:16Claire, stop interrupting. I'd like to hear what Elliot thinks.
00:31:21I want to shake up the building bid that's traditionally used and agencies.
00:31:30Now, these won't be like regular branches. They'll produce everything themselves to keep higher profit margins on the overall projects.
00:31:39He really seems to know what he's talking about. It's just a coincidence.
00:31:48Elliot, our chat today has really given me a lot to think about. You know an awful lot for a man of your age.
00:31:57Thank you, sir.
00:32:12Well, you must have really put an effort to memorise that.
00:32:15Well, that was definitely needed.
00:32:16Oh, Grandpa, Elliot also bought you a gift.
00:32:21Bought you a gift.
00:32:25Is this a rare vintage wine?
00:32:27Yeah, we bought it as a sign of respect to you.
00:32:32We hope you enjoy it.
00:32:37Oh, I remember this bottle.
00:32:40It was auctioned off last month.
00:32:43The last name of the buyer was Benson, right?
00:32:48No, you must be wrong.
00:32:49I actually have the auction news right here, Grandpa.
00:32:53See, this bottle was definitely bought by Claire.
00:32:59Elliot, could you not afford a gift or did you just not care?
00:33:04Claire?
00:33:05Yes, I did buy it, but I...
00:33:07Claire bought this because she really cares.
00:33:10My gift is on its way.
00:33:14If you buy something random right now, it will actually make it worse.
00:33:17Just trust me.
00:33:19Seriously, Claire, what kind of boyfriend did you find?
00:33:24Did you just pick him up off the street?
00:33:33Mr. Benson, there's a rather fancy car parked outside and it seems to be blocking the front
00:33:38entrance.
00:33:39Is that Xander?
00:33:49It's definitely Xander.
00:33:51You must be here to bring presents for your grandpa.
00:33:55Oh, Xander, I knew it was you.
00:33:56Happy birthday, Mr. Benson.
00:34:08Mr. Benson, this is for you.
00:34:11Is this for Hulk's special watch that's worth millions?
00:34:22I didn't know they made them anymore.
00:34:24Well, I happen to know the CEO very well and got one from his private collection just for you.
00:34:30Oh, look at the colour of that gem.
00:34:36The clarity.
00:34:37The clarity.
00:34:38You can't buy quality even if you've got a stash of money.
00:34:42Did you really get all these gifts?
00:34:45Yeah.
00:34:46Yeah, I did actually.
00:34:48Do you accept our gifts?
00:34:51I accept these gifts.
00:34:53Thank you very much.
00:34:57Didn't you say he was just an escort?
00:35:00How on earth could he afford anything?
00:35:03Is it possible that Claire has actually found herself a rich boyfriend?
00:35:08Seriously.
00:35:09Seriously, how did you afford these?
00:35:11They're all fake, of course.
00:35:14Had them made up special for a lot of money.
00:35:19Eight thousand?
00:35:21Eighty thousand.
00:35:22Oh.
00:35:23All this to make you look good.
00:35:25You should probably pay me back later.
00:35:30What's so special about that?
00:35:32Sander will be here soon, and he's Mr. Elliot Palmer's nephew.
00:35:37The Palmer family's wealth and status is far superior to some flashy boyfriend.
00:35:43My nephew?
00:35:45If he shows up, won't everyone know who I really am?
00:35:48Hello, everyone.
00:35:55Hello, everyone.
00:35:58I'm good, lovely, haven't you?
00:35:59Darling.
00:36:02You must be Claire's boyfriend.
00:36:07Good to be.
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:09I assume haircut wasn't at the top of your checklist, eh?
00:36:11No.
00:36:14Nice.
00:36:17You really have no idea who I am.
00:36:20Why would I know you?
00:36:24Sander.
00:36:25This is Elliot.
00:36:27He's an entrepreneur that's just come back from abroad.
00:36:34Grandpa's really into this guy.
00:36:36Hurry up and give him your gift.
00:36:37Stop it.
00:36:38This is a vintage 1992 bottle of wine.
00:36:43I had my, uh, my uncle set it up just, just for you.
00:36:491992.
00:36:51Never seen one of this nature?
00:36:53Or have you got something better to show me?
00:36:54Well, they say it's the thought that counts, right?
00:37:02I'm happy anyway.
00:37:04The rich family like the Palmers, and we can't even get a decent bottle of wine.
00:37:08Sander's such a tight one.
00:37:09I bet Elliot Palmer is worse.
00:37:11That's not fair.
00:37:13Maybe Elliot Palmer has no idea who Sander even is.
00:37:18How could that be?
00:37:19It's his nephew.
00:37:22What's your last name?
00:37:29What's your last name?
00:37:32Uh...
00:37:35Never mind.
00:37:36You're just an escort.
00:37:38There's no way you could be linked to the Palmers.
00:37:40Claire.
00:37:41Oh, Kathleen.
00:37:43It's lovely to see you two settle down.
00:37:47It really makes me very happy.
00:37:50I'll take great care of Kathleen.
00:37:52And the family, of course.
00:37:55Claire.
00:37:57Now that Kathleen's pregnant,
00:37:58you two,
00:38:00I'll have to hurry up a bit.
00:38:02All in good time, Grandpa.
00:38:08You did really great today.
00:38:09Go ahead and head back first.
00:38:15I'll catch up later.
00:38:17Just remember to pay back for the gifts and the car rental.
00:38:21Yeah, sure thing, money waster.
00:38:22Yeah, sure thing, money waster.
00:38:23Boss.
00:38:24I found out what you wanted.
00:38:25I found out what you wanted.
00:38:26That Sander is just the son of the Palmer family's driver.
00:38:27Changed his name a while back to trick people.
00:38:28I'm just curious as to where he came from.
00:38:29I think it's like a fake.
00:38:30Should we file charges?
00:38:31Should we file charges?
00:38:32I can get the legal team to whip up some papers.
00:38:33No.
00:38:34No, not at the moment.
00:38:35I want them to realise that the higher they climb,
00:38:36the higher they fall.
00:38:37The higher they fall.
00:38:38The higher they fall.
00:38:39No, no.
00:38:40I'm not going to realise that the higher they climb,
00:38:42the higher they fall.
00:38:44You can't get the higher they fall.
00:38:45You can't get the higher they fall.
00:38:46You can't get the higher they fall.
00:38:47I think it's just a bit better.
00:38:48I'm just curious as to where he came from.
00:38:50No. No, not at the moment.
00:38:53I want them to realise that the higher they climb, the higher they fall.
00:39:14Can you meet me tonight?
00:39:16You have an international meeting already set.
00:39:20Sorry, I can't do tonight.
00:39:23Guess I'll have to find somebody else.
00:39:25Lately even booking an escort is a hassle.
00:39:31Is she seriously going to find someone else?
00:39:34I'm afraid Miss Benson is set on having a child.
00:39:36You need to put an end to this situation once and for all.
00:39:39I thought the Benson group were keen on working with us.
00:39:42So you're saying that the Palmer group not only wants to discuss the partnership, but Mr. Palmer wants to set up a meeting today.
00:39:53Yep. I just heard from a secretary. It's confirmed.
00:39:56Well, cancel the bar reservation then. Get your car ready. We're going to the Palmer group.
00:40:03The Palmer group.
00:40:14Come in.
00:40:16Mr. Palmer.
00:40:17Mr. Palmer.
00:40:18I'm Claire. Claire Benson.
00:40:19This is the project proposal we've been meaning to share with you.
00:40:32Mr. Palmer.
00:40:37You are Claire.
00:40:39Is this really Mr. Palmer, the CEO? Why is he wearing that mask? Is he hiding something?
00:40:47You have five minutes.
00:40:48Wait.
00:40:49That voice.
00:40:50Sounds so familiar.
00:40:52Miss Benson.
00:40:55Sorry.
00:40:56The proposal tells you everything you need to know.
00:41:01The Benson group has a lot of experience in this area.
00:41:04We can help your company grow in the property sector within two quarters.
00:41:08This is good.
00:41:10The Benson group has really been looking forward to working with-
00:41:13But we have five other companies who are submitting similar proposals.
00:41:19Why should we choose yours?
00:41:21Whatever you need, I can do it. I can make it happen.
00:41:26There's just one thing I'd like from you.
00:41:30Yes, of course.
00:41:32Whatever you need, as long as it's within my power, consider it done.
00:41:36I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:42I want you to be my secret lover.
00:41:44What? Did you just say-
00:41:49From now on, you are not permitted to see anyone else.
00:41:54Didn't you say you would do whatever it takes?
00:41:57But I-
00:41:59Never mind.
00:42:06Miss Palmer.
00:42:08I accept your conditions.
00:42:11Are you certain about this?
00:42:14If this is what it takes to get the deal.
00:42:17Alright, fine. Charlie, give me a contract.
00:42:20Why does he always put Miss Benson through this?
00:42:23This is a secret deal.
00:42:26Once you sign, you will follow all the rules I make.
00:42:29Whenever I call, you must answer.
00:42:32A partnership with your company will start right away.
00:42:36Are you ready for this?
00:42:37I didn't think Miss Benson would have even less pride than I thought.
00:42:47Pride doesn't pay the bills, does it?
00:42:50Mr. Palmer.
00:42:51What is wrong about you?
00:43:01What are you doing?
00:43:02I just want to reveal the ugly truth behind the mask.
00:43:05The one that you hide from everyone.
00:43:07Black! Why was your head made of metal?
00:43:10Don't let this little bit of power go to your head.
00:43:12There are plenty of people that would love to go on a date with me.
00:43:16You should take a look in the mirror and ask if you even deserve me.
00:43:21Sir, don't let Miss Benson get to you.
00:43:27She's just trying to exploit her.
00:43:30Perceives weakness, that's all.
00:43:36Claire.
00:43:38It would be even more fascinating than I thought.
00:43:43Oh, Elliot's finally back in town.
00:43:46But I haven't seen him all day.
00:43:48I think Elliot might be in love.
00:43:52What?
00:43:54Last week out of nowhere he sent a ton of pricey gifts to Mr. Benson for his birthday.
00:44:00Have you ever seen him go out of his way for anyone like that?
00:44:04He's got to be interested in the Benson family's daughter.
00:44:11Elliot's already been to meet the head of the family.
00:44:13We must figure out how to meet the Bentsons.
00:44:19Josh?
00:44:22Yes, ma'am. What can I do for you?
00:44:25I need you to go over to the Benson family and ask them to dinner.
00:44:29And this is a gift from my daughter-in-law.
00:44:32Please make sure it gets delivered.
00:44:33Are you saying Mrs. Bernice Palmer wants to meet her?
00:44:47Well, with Kathleen pregnant, it's about time both families got together to talk about the wedding.
00:44:55Miss Benson's having a baby.
00:44:56I need to rush back and tell the madam.
00:44:58I apologize for the Palmer family's mistake. I hope you can overlook it.
00:45:10The madam thinks a lot of Miss Benson and sends me with a gift now that she knows.
00:45:15May I just ask which of these ladies are...
00:45:22Oh, this is my younger daughter Kathleen.
00:45:26Right, Miss Kathleen Benson.
00:45:30This is a special gift.
00:45:34From the madam to Miss Kathleen Benson.
00:45:38Wow, it's gorgeous. I love it.
00:45:45The gift has been delivered, madam.
00:45:50The future in-laws and the younger sister looks pretty friendly.
00:45:55But the older sister looks a little bit aloof.
00:46:04Mum, what is going on?
00:46:08How can you really know someone from a few comments?
00:46:12I need to see for myself.
00:46:15I'm heading out now.
00:46:17Go and meet the Bensons on my behalf.
00:46:28The Palmers want to meet our Kathleen. What are you doing here?
00:46:32You just had to tag along.
00:46:34Grandfather wanted me to talk to the Palmers about working with them.
00:46:37You clearly know nothing about business.
00:46:39Claire, you only get to meet Mrs. Palmer because of me.
00:46:42So don't something dumb later.
00:46:43Oh, no, no, no, no!
00:46:46Get off me, you old hag!
00:46:49Please help me.
00:46:51Back off, you old bitch!
00:46:53I don't feel real.
00:46:55Why don't you come?
00:46:57Claire, we're nearly at the restaurant.
00:46:59You're not seriously going to make us late for dinner with Mrs. Margaret.
00:47:03Mama, this dirty old woman.
00:47:04Young lady, you go on now. I'll be alright.
00:47:11No, we need to get you to a hospital.
00:47:14Claire, are you serious?
00:47:15Come on, forget about her. Let's go.
00:47:16Young lady, you're very kind. If only my granddaughter-in-law was like you.
00:47:25Oh, but funny enough, I'm looking for a boyfriend.
00:47:26You're alright, can you walk? Let me call you a cab.
00:47:27Actually, I just need to sit down. There's a restaurant just ahead. If you could take a
00:47:28home.
00:47:29No, we need to get you to a hospital.
00:47:30No, we need to get you to a hospital.
00:47:31Claire, are you serious?
00:47:32Come on, forget about her. Let's go.
00:47:34Young lady, you're very kind. If only my granddaughter-in-law was like you.
00:47:40Oh, but funny enough, I'm looking for a boyfriend.
00:47:43Jill, you're alright, can you walk? Let me call you a cab.
00:47:50Actually, I just need to sit down. There's a restaurant just ahead. If you could take me there, I'll get my grandson to pick me up.
00:47:57Of course, of course, I'll take you there.
00:48:04Please pick me up from the greenhouse restaurant. I'll explain.
00:48:13Make sure you wow, Mrs. Palmer. If they support us, you'll be able to call the shots in the Benson Group.
00:48:27Relax, I'm not dumb like Claire. Missing an opportunity to meet with Mrs. Margaret Palmer for some messy old lady.
00:48:35I want to see what's wrong with her.
00:48:39How could she bring that messy old lady in here?
00:48:44Oh!
00:48:48Oh!
00:48:50What are you doing?
00:48:52Why did you bring her here?
00:48:54If Mrs. Palmer sees one of the Benson family with some dirty old beggar, it won't look good for us.
00:49:00Get her out of here.
00:49:02She is not a beggar. And this is a restaurant. Anyone can come in.
00:49:06Well, well, well, what have we here?
00:49:14Where does a messy old lady get such fancy jewellery? It must be stolen.
00:49:19This will be evidence. I'll call the police.
00:49:25Give it back. My grandson gave back to me.
00:49:29Kathleen, give it back to her.
00:49:31Let's not waste any more time.
00:49:34Waiter!
00:49:35Get this thief out of here.
00:49:40Get your filthy hands off me.
00:49:43Stop it!
00:49:47Grandma, you okay?
00:49:49Now you can see who's been insulting your grandmother.
00:49:56Grandmother?
00:49:58So the grandson that old lady was searching for is him?
00:50:02Oh.
00:50:04It's you.
00:50:07I thought you were just a lowly escort, but I gave you too much credit.
00:50:12Someone like you doesn't belong in the Benson family.
00:50:15Having a con artist like you in the family is a disgrace to our name.
00:50:22Enough!
00:50:24It's clear that you're the one who doesn't belong in the Palmer family.
00:50:28Mrs. Palmer.
00:50:31Mrs. Margaret Palmer.
00:50:34Oh.
00:50:36I'm really sorry.
00:50:37We appear to have had a terrible mix-up.
00:50:40My eldest daughter brought the wrong people in and I'll have them leave immediately.
00:50:46You two are the ones who should go.
00:50:50This is the Palmer family's restaurant and you're not welcome here.
00:50:54Mrs. Palmer.
00:50:56Are you sure you're not confused?
00:50:57No.
00:50:58No.
00:50:59No.
00:51:09Get out!
00:51:10Now!
00:51:14Get out!
00:51:15Now!
00:51:33Oh, Elliot.
00:51:35I need to be clear today.
00:51:37I really don't like that Kathleen that you're hanging about with.
00:51:41Exactly.
00:51:43With her attitude, even if she had a Palmer baby, I wouldn't let her into the family.
00:51:47Kathleen!
00:51:49You two definitely have the wrong idea.
00:51:53Kathleen isn't my girlfriend and her kid has nothing to do with me.
00:51:58Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
00:52:01She and her mum don't seem like nice people.
00:52:05Claire.
00:52:08Claire seems familiar.
00:52:10Oh, wait a minute.
00:52:15She's the plumber.
00:52:17I think Claire is sweet.
00:52:20Claire, she's even more of a hassle.
00:52:23You seem to know her pretty well.
00:52:27Is there something between you two?
00:52:30Yeah, let's not talk about that now.
00:52:32Oh, Kathleen's fiancee, Zander, has been pretending to be part of the Palmer family.
00:52:45Oh, Mrs. Palmer really hates me now.
00:52:48What am I going to do?
00:52:52Darling, it's fine.
00:52:54As long as Zander cares about you, that's all that matters.
00:52:56He'll say nice things to Mrs. Palmer and she'll forgive us.
00:53:02That's the only way.
00:53:05It's all curseful.
00:53:07She's trying to sabotage my marriage to the Palmer family on purpose.
00:53:12Don't worry, darling.
00:53:16I'll make sure she pays for this.
00:53:18It's all here.
00:53:27No need to worry.
00:53:29Every year on the anniversary of your mum's passing,
00:53:33you come to the flower field she planted,
00:53:36you pay your respects,
00:53:38you take care of the garden,
00:53:39and you plant your flowers.
00:53:41I won't forget.
00:53:48This is the Benson family's property.
00:53:59Who told you you could just tear it apart?
00:54:02Uh, it was Mrs. Amy Benson's orders.
00:54:07Amy.
00:54:13Who told you you could touch my mum's garden?
00:54:15Uh, well, Kathleen's been having pregnancy cravings,
00:54:20and she wanted oranges.
00:54:22I thought that spot there would be the best place to grow them there for her.
00:54:26That's my mum's space.
00:54:28And?
00:54:30She's coming.
00:54:34And those flowers are just sitting there.
00:54:36No one to enjoy them.
00:54:38What a waste.
00:54:40It's better to clear them away and grow orange trees for everyone.
00:54:42Yeah, sis.
00:54:44Home-grain oranges just tastes way better.
00:54:49You're a home-wrecker.
00:54:51Who told you you could touch any of the Benson family's stuff?
00:54:54Fix the garden now!
00:54:56That's enough.
00:54:58Let go of her.
00:55:00Amy's your mother too.
00:55:02So, show a little respect for your elders.
00:55:05Grandma, she destroyed-
00:55:07Oh, no.
00:55:09I said it was fine.
00:55:11It's just a garden.
00:55:14It's our land.
00:55:16Don't interrupt.
00:55:23Kathleen is soon to become a palmer,
00:55:26and Grandpa really cares about that.
00:55:29And when Kathleen marries on and has a kid to inherit the Benson estate,
00:55:35you won't be part of this family anymore.
00:55:39Why the sudden invites?
00:55:40Did you miss me?
00:55:41Hey.
00:55:42What's wrong?
00:55:43Don't ask.
00:55:44Just let me stay close to one.
00:55:46Okay.
00:55:48You don't need to say anything.
00:55:50Don't ask.
00:55:52Why the sudden invites?
00:55:53Did you miss me?
00:55:54Hi.
00:55:56What's wrong?
00:55:57Don't ask.
00:55:59Just let me stay close a while.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:02You don't need to say anything.
00:56:08You don't need to say anything.
00:56:11this is really valuable.
00:56:12Huh, looks like the power's gone.
00:56:19I'll check it out, okay?
00:56:24No, please don't leave.
00:56:27Okay, I'll stick around.
00:56:42So, are you scared of the dark?
00:56:58My mum died when I was little.
00:57:01And my dad married my stepmother, Amy.
00:57:05And one day when dad was away, she locked me in a tiny dark closet for two whole days.
00:57:14What about your grandpa? Didn't he take care of you?
00:57:18When mum died, no one really looked after me.
00:57:24But eventually, I did learn how to protect myself.
00:57:30I had to get strong so no one could push me around.
00:57:34Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
00:57:36You...
00:57:38You don't trust me.
00:57:42Alright.
00:57:44I'll leave anything you say.
00:57:47How am I supposed to take an escort's promise seriously?
00:57:56It's coming, don't worry.
00:57:58I'm all sorry, please.
00:58:00Why is there a crowd here?
00:58:02Oh, they're friends and relatives from my side of the family.
00:58:06We're here to go over the plans for Kathleen and Xander's wedding.
00:58:10A wedding?
00:58:12Oh, you haven't been told yet.
00:58:14Mrs. Palmer's coming round soon to discuss the marriage.
00:58:24Claire, be sure to smile and be polite.
00:58:27And don't say anything bad in front of Mrs. Palmer.
00:58:30Mrs. Palmer's coming round.
00:58:34Mrs. Palmer's coming round?
00:58:36Mrs. Palmer's coming round?
00:58:38Yes, Xander.
00:58:40You spoke to Mrs. Palmer.
00:58:42She forgave us and, well, she's offered to come over and talk about the wedding.
00:58:46She did mention to that to you, right?
00:58:48Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:58:50What the hell?
00:58:52When did I ever say anything nice?
00:58:54This doesn't matter.
00:58:56Mrs. Palmer must really care about Xander.
00:58:58I mean, she's made time with her busy schedule to come here in person and discuss the wedding with us.
00:59:02It's wonderful.
00:59:03The Palmers are super exclusive.
00:59:05I mean, I'm so lucky to know Kathleen and to be able to meet Mrs. Palmer in person.
00:59:11When Xander and I are married, I'll make sure that you go round to the Palmer residence all the time.
00:59:18Oh, Kathleen, I just remembered there's something I've left unfinished in the office on.
00:59:23I must go right away.
00:59:25Xander, you must make time for your own wedding.
00:59:31Yeah, of course.
00:59:33On that note, actually, I have a small favour to ask you.
00:59:37Um, my sister would really love an internship at, um, Palmer Corp.
00:59:45Well...
00:59:53I'm sure there's something that Xander could do.
00:59:56Thank you so much, Kathleen.
00:59:58Yes, well, funny, actually.
01:00:00I've also got a little favour I'd love to discuss, and we, uh...
01:00:04Mrs. Palmer has a run.
01:00:06Mrs. Palmer, you made me.
01:00:08That's him! Grab him!
01:00:10That's him! Grab him!
01:00:12That's him! Grab him!
01:00:16That's him! Grab him!
01:00:18Mrs. Palmer, what's going on? What... what's the meaning of this?
01:00:32That Xander is your grandnephew.
01:00:34Grandnephew? I'd really love to know when we got a relative like that.
01:00:39What?
01:00:41That's crazy. Are you saying he's not a Palmer?
01:00:45If he's not a Palmer, then who... who is he?
01:00:51Xander is the son of the Palmer family's driver.
01:00:55No. No. Oh, no. Oh, no, wait.
01:01:11Sorry you're being arrested for fraud and information. Come with us, please.
01:01:15Madam, I can explain. This is a misunderstanding. Kathleen, honey, do something!
01:01:20I don't even know who you are!
01:01:22Yeah, exactly. Our Kathleen would never be involved with a scammer.
01:01:28Listen, we thought you'd married into wealth, but clearly you're with a fraud, and, uh...
01:01:32I'm taking my jewellery back.
01:01:34Yeah, me too.
01:01:36Sorry, family has to stay out here.
01:01:56What, can you not even have a little hospital smile?
01:01:59My period's late. Could it be?
01:02:05Congratulations, Claire. By the looks of this, you're about four weeks pregnant.
01:02:10I'm having a baby?
01:02:12Yes.
01:02:14Should I let him know?
01:02:18It's just a spam donation. Don't make it a big deal.
01:02:22Kathleen, your grandpa is still in the ER.
01:02:28Where did you leave?
01:02:30I was just in a bit of pain, so I just went for a check-up.
01:02:34What's wrong? Are you okay?
01:02:36This is our only shot at keeping the fam's legacy.
01:02:40I'm okay, yeah. Don't worry too much.
01:02:42I'm okay.
01:02:44Oh, no.
01:02:46No, no.
01:02:48Oh, no.
01:02:49Oh, no.
01:02:51Oh, no.
01:02:52How did you get out?
01:02:54My dad took out on a loan and paid me up.
01:02:55If I don't pay back it within a month, I'm looking...
01:02:57I'm looking at four charges.
01:02:59What's that got to do with me?
01:03:00Well, you spent the money as well.
01:03:01I don't act like you're not involved, Kathleen.
01:03:04Well, he really worked hard.
01:03:07I needed money.
01:03:09Three million.
01:03:10Well, that's not happening.
01:03:14Now that might sell something, I won't see.
01:03:16Be quiet!
01:03:22Take this for now.
01:03:24But if you tell anyone anything, you will regret it.
01:03:40The patient had a heart attack. His emotions are all over the place.
01:03:50As family, you have to keep him calm and avoid stressing him out.
01:03:58This is all Zonda's fault.
01:04:03Grandpa, are you alright?
01:04:05I'm okay.
01:04:07I thought if Kathleen married a palmer, they'd work with us.
01:04:13Everything would be, you know, okay.
01:04:16But now, it stays nothing but doom.
01:04:20Tom, even if Kathleen didn't marry a palmer, we've still got other projects to focus on.
01:04:26Well, the company is not doing very well financially, and we're running out of funds.
01:04:33How can that be? When the Benson Group is huge? How can it just fall apart?
01:04:39The company has been in trouble for quite a while.
01:04:43And I thought if we hurried it up and teamed with the palmer, then everything would be okay.
01:04:52Get out of this mess.
01:04:57Elliot has money.
01:05:00Maybe, maybe he could help us.
01:05:02Grandpa, I'm so sorry. I wasn't completely honest.
01:05:11Elliot doesn't have money.
01:05:13What?
01:05:14Oh, you're a liar.
01:05:16I always knew he came for a poor background.
01:05:19Enough of this arguing.
01:05:24Another scenario.
01:05:27If we marry into the Jenkins family...
01:05:31I heard that Liam Jenkins is a player and has a bunch of girlfriends.
01:05:38I don't want to marry someone like that.
01:05:41Well, okay, you don't have to marry him if you don't want to.
01:05:45Let Claire marry him.
01:05:47All right, fine. Grandpa, I will marry him.
01:05:57I will marry him.
01:06:02The Benson Group is my mom's legacy.
01:06:05I can't let her efforts go to waste, no matter what it takes.
01:06:08You really marry Liam.
01:06:11Well, you're doing a great thing for the family.
01:06:17Oh, it's tough on you.
01:06:22Why do you look so serious?
01:06:37Is there something on your mind?
01:06:39Check out this confidentiality agreement.
01:06:42Confidentiality agreement?
01:06:44Just some things to remember after we break up.
01:06:49You want to break up with me?
01:06:51Don't worry, I'll make sure that you're well taken care of.
01:06:54Do you think I care about that?
01:06:56Don't forget the deal.
01:06:57I'm the one backing you up.
01:06:58Well, at least tell me why.
01:06:59It's not a reason.
01:07:00I've always been the one running this relationship.
01:07:01I can end it whenever I feel like it.
01:07:03I thought we had something real.
01:07:05It's nothing wrong.
01:07:22It's nothing wrong.
01:07:35So you're Claire.
01:07:43Hi.
01:07:44I didn't expect you to be so good looking.
01:07:46Perhaps this arranged marriage thing won't work out so bad after all.
01:07:49Aren't we here to discuss business?
01:07:51Please, I doubt you're interested in me for that.
01:07:54Let's focus on us.
01:07:55Sure, go on.
01:07:57Well, firstly you should know that this marriage is an agreement between our families.
01:08:02Don't expect me to fall for you.
01:08:04That's not a concern.
01:08:06Secondly, once we are married, we agree to keep out of each other's business.
01:08:11It's fine by me.
01:08:13I won't interfere with your life.
01:08:15There's something you should know, Mr Jenkins.
01:08:18Go ahead.
01:08:23I'm pregnant.
01:08:25Relax, the father's not in the picture.
01:08:28And I'm guessing with all the kids you have running around,
01:08:31you wouldn't mind having another with me, would you?
01:08:34Miss Benson, you are as bold as the gossip says.
01:08:37Perhaps we will have some fun together down the line.
01:08:40Though I can never keep up with your wilds, I'm Mr Jenkins.
01:08:43Let's just stick to our separate lives, hm?
01:08:46So that's why you're leaving me?
01:08:53Boss, the engagement parties for the Jenkins and Benson Fund is scheduled for next week.
01:08:56Also, I've checked the hospital records.
01:09:09Miss Benson is four weeks pregnant.
01:09:11She's crying my baby.
01:09:12I need to marry someone else.
01:09:14Mr Jenkins and Miss Benson, you two are perfect together.
01:09:18Here's to you both.
01:09:19Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:20Miss Flores.
01:09:21This is another one of your business contacts.
01:09:22She is.
01:09:23And more than just business.
01:09:24You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.
01:09:26I've also invited Mr Palmer.
01:09:29You know him, right?
01:09:30Elliot Palmer.
01:09:31Yes, he's perfect.
01:09:32I've invited Mr Palmer.
01:09:33You know him, right?
01:09:34Elliot Palmer.
01:09:35Yes, he's perfect.
01:09:36Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:37Mr Jenkins and Miss Benson, you two are perfect together.
01:09:38Here's to you both.
01:09:39Thank you, Miss Reyes.
01:09:40Miss Flores.
01:09:41This is another one of your business contacts.
01:09:44She is.
01:09:46And more than just business.
01:09:49You really know how to take advantage of every opportunity.
01:09:52I've also invited Mr Palmer.
01:09:55You know him, right?
01:09:56Elliot Palmer.
01:09:57Yes, he's a pervert.
01:09:59How can he say that?
01:10:00If he actually turns up, it won't just be an honour.
01:10:02It would make working with other companies a breeze.
01:10:09Don't get your hopes up.
01:10:11Elliot's the richest guy around.
01:10:12He doesn't show up to any party.
01:10:14Kathleen, remind me.
01:10:16Who was it that upset Mrs Palmer and got thrown out of her restaurant?
01:10:20Oh, also pretended to be part of the family.
01:10:23If Elliot doesn't show up, it's because you upset Mrs Palmer.
01:10:27So what?
01:10:28Let me tell you something.
01:10:30If you think Elliot's showing up to this party, you're dreaming.
01:10:34Why don't you take a look at yourself and see if you're even worth it?
01:10:42Mr Jenkins, Miss Benson, Mr Palmer is here.
01:10:50Mr Palmer, I didn't expect to see you.
01:11:11Elliot? Is he the Palmer, Elliot?
01:11:15Don't be frozen, dear. Say hello to Mr Palmer.
01:11:18Mr Palmer, hello.
01:11:19Mr Palmer, hello.
01:11:20Mr Benson.
01:11:21I was surprised to hear about your engagement.
01:11:24I had to see it for myself.
01:11:26Wait, so Mr Palmer, Claire, you two know each other?
01:11:29Well, that is great. Honey, what are you doing here?
01:11:32Honey, are you ready?
01:11:34Um, we've run into each other a couple of times for business. I wouldn't say we're close.
01:11:49Well, it is an honour to have you here, Mr Palmer. It really does mean a lot.
01:11:53Is the Palmer group involved with the Jenkins family business?
01:11:57Yes, what a fantastic memory you have, Mr Palmer.
01:12:00Yes, that's a project we started working on eight months ago.
01:12:04And I'm managing that one personally.
01:12:06Okay, good.
01:12:07Well, how about we end that partnership here?
01:12:12Excuse me.
01:12:13What did you say?
01:12:14The Palmer group is cutting ties with the Jenkins family immediately.
01:12:17No future deals.
01:12:18Can you at least tell me why? What did I do wrong? I can fix this. Wrong.
01:12:25Well, you should probably talk to your fiancé about that.
01:12:32What have you done to upset Mr Palmer? Apologize at once.
01:12:37I misunderstood the situation. I see that now. Please don't hold it against me.
01:12:42Don't hold it against you.
01:12:44Why didn't you think this sorry excuse for an apology will fix this?
01:12:50Claire's not one for words. Don't take it personally, Mr Palmer.
01:12:53If there's anything that we can do to set it right, just let us know.
01:12:56We'll do our best to fix this.
01:12:59Okay, fine.
01:13:05If you're truly sorry...
01:13:07We'll drink these.
01:13:12Then maybe I'll consider forgiving you.
01:13:16Just do as Mr Palmer says.
01:13:19I'm pregnant. I can't drink.
01:13:22So what?
01:13:24You want to stop the Benson group from going under. I need you to cooperate.
01:13:28Mr Palmer, I raise my glass to you.
01:13:34You'd risk your baby's life for this clown.
01:13:44How did you know?
01:13:45Well, I wish I had known sooner.
01:13:47What is going on here? What's happening between the two of you?
01:13:49No, nothing is going on.
01:13:51Then whose baby is it?
01:14:01Fine.
01:14:02If you won't say it, I will.
01:14:05Liam, your future wife is the mother of my child.
01:14:09Wow, can you believe it? The Benson's daughter is pregnant with Mr Palmer's baby.
01:14:17And is about to marry into the Jenkins family.
01:14:19This is such a disaster.
01:14:21Is Mr Palmer here to stop the wedding?
01:14:24What is the Benson family thinking?
01:14:26Anyone with any sense would pick the Palmers over the Jenkins.
01:14:30Claire, why are you always the lucky one?
01:14:47Late, what do you really want? Is it fun for you to mess with me like-
01:14:51Messing with you? You're all messing with me!
01:14:54Can't I just say I was wrong and go-
01:14:57I mean, give me a break, just let me leave.
01:14:59Let you leave? Sorry?
01:15:00Do you really think Liam will still marry you if you go back now?
01:15:03If you went out marrying Liam, do you think I'll just back off from the Jenkins and Benson families?
01:15:08I'm doing what I must. Don't interfere.
01:15:11You're not marrying Liam because you want to rescue the-
01:15:13Yes, so what if I am?
01:15:15Well, if it's about saving the Benson group, I can help with that.
01:15:18What do you mean by that?
01:15:20Claire, I can help with that.
01:15:23I can help rescue the Benson group from this mess, but you need to-
01:15:29Don't Liam and marry me.
01:15:35Marry you with-
01:15:36You can't save Benson group with Liam anymore.
01:15:38If you marry me, I can help you get through this whole mess.
01:15:47Late, I want your help. You have yet to show me your true colors.
01:15:51You just keep leading me on and now you want to marry me.
01:15:55Why am I supposed to just jump at whatever you say?
01:15:58No, that's not what I meant.
01:16:02This child should have a father too.
01:16:04Let me tell you, I don't care who your dad is. I never wanted a father from the start.
01:16:09This is just a big misunderstanding and you know why I was choosing a guy for Hull.
01:16:14Don't flatter yourself!
01:16:16So everything we had meant nothing to you?
01:16:25Fine.
01:16:26Whatever.
01:16:27Why can't I just say what I feel? Why do I always end up fighting with him?
01:16:42Mrs. Palmer.
01:16:43Claire.
01:16:44Hey.
01:16:45I know everything about you and Elliot. From the moment I first set eyes on you, I've been wishing that you and Elliot would be together.
01:16:49Hey, and I...
01:16:50Oh.
01:16:51Did you two have an argument?
01:16:52Oh.
01:16:53If you're feeling upset, just tell me and I'll take care of you.
01:16:56Oh.
01:16:57Oh.
01:16:58Oh.
01:16:59Oh.
01:17:00Oh.
01:17:01Oh.
01:17:02Oh.
01:17:03I said some really horrible things.
01:17:04We all have our moments.
01:17:05Don't stress about it.
01:17:06Oh.
01:17:07Oh.
01:17:08Oh.
01:17:09Oh.
01:17:10Oh.
01:17:11Oh.
01:17:12Oh.
01:17:13Oh.
01:17:14Oh.
01:17:15Oh.
01:17:16Oh.
01:17:17Oh.
01:17:18Oh.
01:17:19Oh.
01:17:20Oh.
01:17:21Oh.
01:17:22Oh.
01:17:23Oh.
01:17:24Oh.
01:17:25Oh.
01:17:26Oh.
01:17:28Oh.
01:17:29Oh.
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:31Oh.
01:17:32Oh.
01:17:33It's not a big deal. Just go inside and apologize.
01:17:43The person is here now. Whatever needs to be said has been said.
01:17:47I knew she was in trouble straight away.
01:17:49She thinks just because she's pregnant, she can behave however she wants.
01:17:54Pregnant? Are they talking about me?
01:17:57Is this what you think of me, Elliot? I was just trying to apologize.
01:18:03What do you think I think the move should be?
01:18:07I think we should keep it in the wraps for now. Just tell Claire about it.
01:18:11You won't say it, but I know inside you're still cheering for Claire.
01:18:17We could cheer for her.
01:18:22Grandfather.
01:18:24I'm sorry for ruining the engagement party.
01:18:27There's no need to be sorry.
01:18:30I just want you to be happy.
01:18:32And marry someone you truly love.
01:18:37Claire, you've been messing with us the whole time.
01:18:40Mr. Palmer can totally save the Benson Group.
01:18:43You didn't need Liam for that.
01:18:45I...
01:18:46Elliot is already putting money into the Benson Group.
01:18:51Well, when did that happen? He didn't tell me that.
01:18:53And he's also going to have a look at our financial details.
01:18:57Cassie, are you okay?
01:19:07I'm okay.
01:19:09Now you two are pregnant.
01:19:12I'm really looking forward to seeing my grandchildren.
01:19:15Claire, I know that we've had our misunderstandings, but I just really want to say today, in front of Grandpa, that I really am sorry.
01:19:40There you are, Claire.
01:19:44Claire, you two should be watching each other's backs.
01:19:50What did you do?
01:19:53There's something I need to show you.
01:19:57There you are, Claire.
01:19:58Well, have a look.
01:20:10Just tell me what you want to show me.
01:20:13What I need to show you is...
01:20:20What?
01:20:21Anne-Lane!
01:20:23I'm coming!
01:20:23Now it's your turn to pay.
01:20:28Anne-Lane!
01:20:31Grandma, where's Claire?
01:20:33Claire had something to do.
01:20:35Went home.
01:20:37I'll go and look for her.
01:20:41Elliot still cares about Claire.
01:20:44Catelyn, what kind of crazy is this?
01:20:47It's all your fault, Claire.
01:20:50I was supposed to inherit the Benson family business.
01:20:54And I was meant to marry you to the Palmer family.
01:20:57You've fucked up my whole life!
01:20:59Catelyn, you brought that on yourself.
01:21:01How is any of this my fault?
01:21:03If you hadn't gotten in the way!
01:21:05Catelyn, let me out of here!
01:21:07You can't just keep me in here!
01:21:08Catelyn, let me out of here!
01:21:09You can't just keep me in here!
01:21:11What's the rush?
01:21:14We're just getting started.
01:21:21Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!
01:21:23Who'd have thought that the great Miss Benson would be scared of the door?
01:21:29I'd love to see your face right now.
01:21:31He's shaking in fear!
01:21:35Catelyn, don't take this too far.
01:21:38If Grandpa finds out, then I'll just make sure that he doesn't find out.
01:21:43Aren't you the one? He's always so amazing!
01:21:46Don't you just love to be the centre of attention?
01:21:49The people know that you can be this pathetic.
01:21:56And from now on, I'll protect you.
01:22:03Elliot, we're on you.
01:22:06We're on you.
01:22:08Elliot!
01:22:12Stop dreaming!
01:22:14You still think he's coming to rescue you?
01:22:16Just give me the family inheritance, and I'll think about letting you out.
01:22:30What is wrong with you?
01:22:34Eh, don't worry.
01:22:35So why?
01:22:42Kathleen, if anything's happened to Claire or the baby, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
01:22:46Oh my baby!
01:22:53Oh my baby!
01:22:57Oh my baby!
01:22:59Ah!
01:23:01What's going on here?
01:23:04Leigh, what's happening?
01:23:06I was just doing makeup with my sister, and she said that she's the only one that loves the inheritance, and then she knocked me down!
01:23:16Claire.
01:23:17How could you be so cruel?
01:23:19What if something happened to your sister and the baby?
01:23:21No, no, it wasn't my fault, it was her fault!
01:23:24Mum, Grandpa, is the baby going to be okay?
01:23:28Claire just really wants the family business, and she can have my shirt as soon as she lets me and my baby be safe.
01:23:36Claire, when will this stop?
01:23:37Tom, you saw what happened!
01:23:40You have to stop this madness!
01:23:42I can't believe you!
01:23:43I can't believe you!
01:23:44Stoops out now!
01:23:51What is it you find so amusing, Mr. Palmer?
01:23:54I'm just admiring Kathleen's little performance.
01:23:58How can you lose a baby when you're not even pregnant?
01:24:05What do you mean she's not pregnant?
01:24:08I'll give you proof.
01:24:10Sandra!
01:24:14What is this scammer doing here?
01:24:17Kathleen, there's only 30 grand left in this account.
01:24:18How do I possibly pay off my debts with only that, huh?
01:24:21Sandra!
01:24:23What's going on?
01:24:25Kathleen says she's pregnant.
01:24:26Is that true?
01:24:28Having a baby?
01:24:29Kathleen can't even have kids!
01:24:31The whole pregnancy thing was just a bloody trick to grab control of the Benson group.
01:24:35Shut up!
01:24:37Grandpa, how can you believe this liar?
01:24:40They're looking for children, aren't they?
01:24:41Exactly.
01:24:42Kathleen can't even have babies.
01:24:43And she knows exactly what's going on with the Benson family's money, don't you?
01:24:49What does Benson group's money ask have to do with Kathleen?
01:24:53This has been Kathleen's plan all along.
01:24:55Tom, your beloved granddaughter,
01:24:57she's been trading money from the Benson company all along.
01:25:00Kathleen?
01:25:02I'm disgusted at you.
01:25:05I can't have a child.
01:25:08You said that whoever had a child first would get the business,
01:25:13and what am I supposed to do?
01:25:16That's enough.
01:25:19You're scatling Bursley?
01:25:21Come here with us.
01:25:22No, no, no, no, no.
01:25:24M-Mommy, no!
01:25:25No!
01:25:26No!
01:25:27Mommy!
01:25:35Sweetheart, I've heard it all.
01:25:38How do you feel? Are you okay?
01:25:40Yeah, I feel shaken up.
01:25:41Shaken up.
01:25:42I'm fine.
01:25:43Well, don't stress.
01:25:45Kathleen's already locked up.
01:25:48She can't hurt you anymore.
01:25:50I knew it.
01:25:51There's definitely something going on between Claire and Elliot.
01:25:55Yes.
01:25:56Yes, you were right.
01:25:57When Elliot turns up, if he doesn't treat you right, I'll make sure he does.
01:26:03What are you waiting for on invitation?
01:26:04Look, I get that you're mad at me, we don't know who my apology, but I need to say I'm sorry.
01:26:13Is that all?
01:26:14You have nothing else you want to say to me?
01:26:15Wait, what do you mean?
01:26:16Well, I think every kid deserves a dad, so if you're not up for it...
01:26:17I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:18I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:19I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:20What are you waiting for on invitation?
01:26:21What are you waiting for on invitation?
01:26:22Look, I get that you're mad at me, we don't know who my apology, but I need to say I'm sorry.
01:26:28Is that all?
01:26:29You have nothing else you want to say to me?
01:26:32Wait, what do you mean?
01:26:35Well, I think every kid deserves a dad, so if you're not up for it...
01:26:38I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:39I'm going to be the best dad in the world.
01:26:48Hey everyone, give her some space, give her some space!
01:26:58We heard you got engaged, but then broke it off with Mr Jenkins.
01:27:01What's going on?
01:27:02Ms Benson, the Benson group was on the verge of collapse, but then bounced back overnight.
01:27:06How did that happen?
01:27:07Well, there are rumours that your sister has been arrested.
01:27:09Do you have anything to say about that?
01:27:10Come on guys, keep the questions relevant.
01:27:15I'm here today for one important announcement.
01:27:18Starting now, I am the CEO of the Benson Group.
01:27:21I'll work hard to restore the Benson Group's business to what it used to be.
01:27:24There are rumours that Mr Benson has really strict rules about his inheritance.
01:27:28How did you meet those requirements?
01:27:30What's your connection with Elliot Palmer, the CEO of Palmer Group?
01:27:33Oh, well that's the other bit of information I wanted to share.
01:27:40Is that Elliot Palmer?
01:27:42The one who never shows up in public?
01:27:44Let me introduce you to him.
01:27:46This is my husband.
01:27:50And the father of my child.
01:27:51I've been asking for a heart like yours to fit with mine.
01:27:52All I ever needed was a life of you to know that I can make it through all right.
01:27:56From now on I'll protect you.
01:27:57From now on, I'll protect you.
01:27:59I don't need a lot as long as I have you.
01:28:01Well, from now on, I'll protect you.
01:28:31I'll protect you.
