Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Oh, Camilla. That was quite the entrance, but I hope I don't have to turn you down a second time.
00:00:08After all, your boss is my wife, and that's just simply unprofessional.
00:00:12Yeah, about that. You remember when you tried to humiliate me, accusing me of throwing myself at you.
00:00:20You did.
00:00:21Every dog has its day, and I suppose it's my turn to pay you back.
00:00:27My boss wants a divorce.
00:00:30A divorce? Where is she?
00:00:34She cannot afford to be here today.
00:00:36She's busy preparing for her annual fashion show, amongst many other much more important things than being here with you.
00:00:43Well, don't just stand there as if I have nothing to do.
00:00:46A minute of my time costs more than your meager monthly salary.
00:00:50If you could hurry up and sign this, then I'll leave you to your miserable life. Oops.
00:00:58I'll tell her, received.
00:01:02But if she wants to divorce me, then she'll have to discuss it with me.
00:01:07She needs to do no such thing. You're just a lucky, adopted orphan that married a rich woman.
00:01:12Yet you remain a sloppy gardener.
00:01:16And you can forget about trying to weasel your way into getting alimony.
00:01:21And if you do find it hard to manage, here.
00:01:29A global, limited, visa black card.
00:01:35Hey, Edward.
00:01:49Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you rush into Cooper's Manor?
00:01:53Actually, I should be the one asking you that. Who are you and what are you doing on my grandfather's estate?
00:01:59Hmm, I see. You're the bastard child of the Cooper's family? No wonder you carry the gene of brazenness.
00:02:06Good. At least you know who I am now.
00:02:09Edwin, I remember how you like to play in the dirt. I was told you were going to be working here.
00:02:14Hello, Mrs. Parker.
00:02:17Thanks. And you are?
00:02:20Edward? Adobly Edward? You don't remember me? Diana? Dangling Diana?
00:02:28Diana! Yes, you look so different now.
00:02:33I hope in a good way.
00:02:34Yes, yes, in a good way. God, how long has it been? Almost 15 years.
00:02:41Wow.
00:02:42Yeah.
00:02:43Do you have any respect, Edward?
00:02:47How dare you have an affair when you're more successful, better-than-you, soon-to-be ex-wife?
00:02:53Elizabeth, please, about the divorce, is it true?
00:02:58Mrs. Parker has been doing charity work taking care of you all these years, yet you remain ungrateful.
00:03:03Her reputation in upper echelons cannot afford to be tarnished by a poor gardener, especially with the case being settled.
00:03:12Her ranks are about to join the Billionaires Club. Can you comprehend that?
00:03:16Is your name Elizabeth?
00:03:19Lizzie, lay it on me. What's going on?
00:03:24Edward, it's been three years. You've become so uninspired. It's over. I'm done.
00:03:30What did you just say?
00:03:32I said it's over. Okay? We're not good together anymore. Do you get that?
00:03:37Elizabeth, you're not fooling anybody.
00:03:39No, you're not fooling anyone, either. Camilla's right. I mean, already looking at your other admirers.
00:03:45No!
00:03:46No, no, you have it all wrong. Diana's an old friend. I haven't seen her since we were kids.
00:03:51Yeah, right.
00:03:52Okay, Elizabeth, please just let me help celebrate your birthday tonight.
00:03:58My birthday.
00:04:00My birthday.
00:04:01Please just let me help celebrate your birthday tonight.
00:04:06My birthday. I haven't had a birthday party in years. Tonight is about the business deal. Okay? See, that's the difference between me and you. All you care about is nothing. I mean, you're so unmotivated. You weren't when I married you, but that's over now. You've changed.
00:04:21No, just... Okay, let me accompany you to the M&A signing tonight. And afterwards, if you still insist on a divorce, then I'll gladly sign the papers.
00:04:36You just don't understand.
00:04:39Would it be possible for me to make the wrong choice? Maybe hardly merciful to him?
00:04:44You're the one who doesn't understand.
00:04:47Mr. Cooper, thank you for meeting me.
00:04:49Thank you. The contracts are all there.
00:04:53You've been helping Mrs. Parker build her modeling business. You seem like a very straightforward man. Forgive me for asking, but why aren't you telling her?
00:05:05In time, she'll know. Meanwhile, your discretion is appreciated. Thank you for your understanding.
00:05:12Everything appears to be in order, Mr. Cooper. Thank you.
00:05:29The merger and acquisition is all scheduled for a while for tonight. Everything is going as planned. She'll be very happy with this birthday gift you prepared.
00:05:37I heard that she's been busy day and night working for three months on this project. This sign will be a dream come true for her.
00:05:47Are you excited, sir?
00:05:49Yes, absolutely. Tonight, I'll finally be able to show her who I truly am.
00:05:56I truly am.
00:06:05I'm thinking about getting Chanel, obviously. That's the...
00:06:08Good evening. Can you take a drink?
00:06:09Oh, sure. Yeah, I'll take some.
00:06:11Cheers.
00:06:20What are you doing here?
00:06:21We don't order our gardening services for night.
00:06:29You can wear all the fancy suits you want.
00:06:32Good.
00:06:33You'll always be a lowlife, just trying to fit in.
00:06:41Get out of my way!
00:06:43Do you know how important tonight is for her?
00:06:45Of course I know.
00:06:46So you come to spoil it.
00:06:51So you come to spoil it.
00:06:53Elizabeth.
00:06:54Edward, do you realize what tonight is?
00:06:56I'm here to celebrate your birthday.
00:06:58No, it's not about my birthday. It's the signing of the M&A case.
00:07:02Okay? It's very important to me.
00:07:04I understand someone like you may not get that.
00:07:07You mean a gardener like me.
00:07:12Here's the man willing to work as a gardener for three years
00:07:15just so he can get a discount on flowers for his wife.
00:07:19What a cuck.
00:07:23You think he heard me? I hope so.
00:07:26Well, let's not waste any more time.
00:07:28Don't let anyone in unless they have an invitation.
00:07:37Here's a little hint. He doesn't have one.
00:07:47I...
00:07:51Here.
00:07:56I didn't hear any motorcycles.
00:07:58You're welcome. He's with me.
00:08:07Edward, excuse me for a few minutes, okay? I'll catch up with you later.
00:08:32Welcome in, sir. Would you care to see a floor plan tonight?
00:08:35No need.
00:08:36I know exactly where I'll be tonight.
00:08:39You see, power is a little bit like real estate.
00:08:42The closer you are to the center, the more valuable you become.
00:08:47Enjoy your evening, sir.
00:08:53Oh, you just cannot take a hint.
00:09:01Oh, you just cannot take a hint.
00:09:04I see the security may need to be replaced.
00:09:07How'd you get a back door open?
00:09:11You finally decide to have some taste and wear a high fashion suit.
00:09:15Your wife is the new queen of the fashion empire after all, but that brooch just ruins it.
00:09:21Ugh! It is not a matter of whether you get in, it's just there's no place to sit.
00:09:25I know. I'll tell the waiter to get you a low stool for gardeners. If you don't like the way the table's set, just turn it over.
00:09:34Never mind your seating arrangement. I know I'll end up near the center of the table tonight. The prime spot.
00:09:41Edward, the journalists are arriving. Do not embarrass me.
00:09:47I'm afraid you're right. The journalists are arriving. And if they catch us bickering, I'm afraid it'll damage your public figure.
00:09:55So if you do want a divorce, I suggest we keep that to ourselves tonight.
00:10:01Hmm. Seems like I underestimated you.
00:10:04Well, I realize you only want my money. So after tonight I will send all of it over, and you need to leave and not come back.
00:10:10If that's truly what you think about me, then by the end of the night we will be divorced.
00:10:20He's such a lost cause. I feel so bad for Mrs. Parker. I do hope she can find a better man after this divorce I'm hearing of.
00:10:30Mrs. Parker is never short on admirers. Not to mention her soon-to-be business partner, Stephen Cooper.
00:10:36Oh, the future successor of Kingdom Group.
00:10:43Now he's number one on the list of ideal husbands with a silver spoon in his mouth.
00:10:49I heard he went all the way to Eton and King's College Cambridge, graduated early, went to Goldman Sachs and worked his way all the way up to VP.
00:10:59There are 23 mansions in the city, all listed under his name. He owns five private airports, more than a dozen wineries.
00:11:09And many of the collections at the States Museum's exhibition borrowed from his family.
00:11:15Stephen Cooper was the most popular in high school. He is an Armani model, award-winning race car driver. He dated Miss World. Models, pop stars, the likes. Any woman would be just lucky to have him.
00:11:31I am.
00:11:57Oh.
00:12:14Thank you, Edward.
00:12:17You were always such a good boy.
00:12:20I want you to know that it has been my pleasure to watch you grow up into the young man that you are today.
00:12:26You're like a son to me, Edward.
00:12:28I know Lizzie can sometimes act like a small princess.
00:12:32And sometimes she doesn't see beyond the obvious.
00:12:36I hope that you'll take care of her.
00:12:40After her own devices, she will be taken advantage of.
00:12:44She will be exploited.
00:12:47Promise me you will take care of her.
00:12:50I will take care of Lizzie.
00:12:56What?
00:12:58Why are you suddenly interested in a garden?
00:13:00Do you know what's so special about the manor that we're negotiating for in the M&A case for Elizabeth?
00:13:18There's a garden there.
00:13:22I used to playing with Diana when I was a child.
00:13:25Oh, so all of this is for Mrs. Cooper?
00:13:28No.
00:13:32That garden has been abandoned for many years, but it may hold some answers that I'm looking for.
00:13:40It was the last place my parents were before they died in that car accident.
00:13:44Perhaps pretending to be that place's gardener will allow me to find some answers about what really happened.
00:13:53I present the president of the Kingdom Group, Mr. Cooper Senior.
00:14:12Steven, run.
00:14:14I'll be back.
00:14:15Alright.
00:14:17You've been working out. Looking good.
00:14:19Looking good.
00:14:21Hey, I've got it.
00:14:22I think she's so special because her granddaddy's rich.
00:14:25Probably hasn't worked a day in her life.
00:14:31So sorry. I'm going to break away. What do you want to say?
00:14:33Mr. Cooper.
00:14:35Hi.
00:14:36I'm sorry. You are?
00:14:37Elizabeth.
00:14:38We went to high school together.
00:14:40I was the lead cheerleader.
00:14:41You won the national championship.
00:14:43You won it three times.
00:14:44Which one do you want to bring to?
00:14:46Well, I'm the president of the U-Shine Group and the model for the show tonight.
00:14:49So, I'm looking forward to our signing.
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:57Oh, I'll have to convene back.
00:15:00Excuse moi.
00:15:01Enchante.
00:15:04Hey, can you go sit down?
00:15:05Yes.
00:15:06Yeah.
00:15:07How'd that go?
00:15:22How'd that go?
00:15:23How'd that go?
00:15:28This seat should be taken by the owner of a brooch.
00:15:45Mr. Edward Parker.
00:15:47This brooch matches the color of the moon.
00:15:54But tonight, it also matches you, Diana.
00:16:17When we were kids, you saw my mother wearing this brooch and then you turned to me and asked me for it.
00:16:29I told you you couldn't have it until the time was right.
00:16:33However, that time is now.
00:16:36Edward, thank you.
00:16:37Since Mr. Cooper Sr. has taken a liking to my brooch, I've decided to bestow it upon his youngest of kin, his goddaughter, Diana.
00:16:49As a token of good faith, may the negotiations produce favorable terms for both parties.
00:16:56And, Mr. Cooper, since Diana is now the owner of the brooch, shouldn't she have a seat at the table?
00:17:04Absolutely.
00:17:22Welcome to the big kids' table.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:34Tell her the deal is over.
00:17:35Mr. Cooper?
00:17:36Would you like to dance?
00:17:37Would you?
00:17:38Big event.
00:17:39Mm-hmm.
00:17:40I can make one of the most of it.
00:17:41For sure.
00:17:42Really?
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45Yeah.
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:47Yeah.
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:49Yeah.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:51Yeah.
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:53Yeah.
00:17:54Yeah.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58Yeah.
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:00Yeah.
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:03Yeah.
00:18:04It's funny because my grandfather told me to let you know that the deal is off.
00:18:11What?
00:18:14What?
00:18:15I think you heard me.
00:18:17And on what grounds?
00:18:19Why?
00:18:20Mrs. Parker, I was going to give the opportunity to bow out of this gracefully.
00:18:25You should take that opportunity instead of embarrassing yourself in front of everyone.
00:18:29Excuse me?
00:18:30I don't understand.
00:18:31This must be some sort of mistake.
00:18:33I mean, is this the way you and your family conduct business?
00:18:36This is so unprofessional.
00:18:38I'm sorry.
00:18:39That was rude.
00:18:40I'm just saying, I don't understand everything has been perfect up to this point.
00:18:45So...
00:18:46Elizabeth, if I can help you sign a contract tonight, do you still want a divorce?
00:19:00Wait a minute.
00:19:02Is he behind this?
00:19:04Edward, what's going on?
00:19:07Trust me.
00:19:08Trust you?
00:19:09Why should I trust you?
00:19:10You don't have any other choice?
00:19:13If you say yes, everything will turn out fine and you won't regret it.
00:19:19Fine.
00:19:20As CEO of Pools Group, I would like to join forces with Mr. Cooper's new group, the Queen's Group, managed by Ms. Diana, so we can sign a contract on more favorable terms for Ms. Parker.
00:19:45Let everybody be witness to this historic moment.
00:19:48Let's do it.
00:20:18You're welcome.
00:20:25So did you and her plan this?
00:20:28Who?
00:20:29Well, I mean, the secretary brought it over so soon. You must have been trying to blackmail me.
00:20:34Elizabeth, are you concerned about the contract or about Diana?
00:20:39Don't play tricks on me. You're just mad because I wanted a divorce. And now you're already throwing yourself at other women? Pathetic.
00:20:48To Diana, may our businesses grow and flourishes together.
00:20:58To Diana, may our business grow and flourish together.
00:21:02To Mr. Parker and Ms. Cooper.
00:21:07To my daring sister. Good job, I guess.
00:21:13We're the best one.
00:21:15Oh, Diana, you look gorgeous tonight.
00:21:22I think the last time I saw you was at the bike rally.
00:21:25You look way different from them.
00:21:28Brain and brawn.
00:21:30One of you has taken over the Motto GP and the other one has taken over the F1 Amateur League.
00:21:34Oh, I think they were doing this simply because of entertainment purposes.
00:21:45Hello? Where are you? I'm waiting for you.
00:21:48I'm sorry, boss. I didn't think you'd be out so soon. Would you like me to come here?
00:21:57Shit.
00:22:04Oh, Edward. I'm afraid I don't think you meant to give this to me, did you?
00:22:22You always could read my mind.
00:22:24Can you read mine?
00:22:29Thank you for your help tonight.
00:22:30Sure, of course. I saw you and Mrs. Parker. Is everything okay?
00:22:37I don't want to talk about it.
00:22:41I'm sorry.
00:22:46Edward?
00:22:50You really shouldn't look at me like that.
00:22:53Like what?
00:22:54You know what I mean.
00:22:55Diana, after all these years, I've really only seen you as a sister in my heart.
00:23:06Is that so?
00:23:08Just a sister?
00:23:11But you just said that I've been in your heart after all these years.
00:23:14It's nice to know that I'm in there somewhere.
00:23:17Because you've always been in mine.
00:23:18You know, I miss when we were children. The whole days. So nice, carefree.
00:23:28You remember when we were jumping on the trampoline in the yard?
00:23:31Yes. Yes. How you would always jump so high and I had to catch you to save you from breaking your neck.
00:23:36Well, did you ever wonder why I jumped so high?
00:23:41Because you're a daredevil?
00:23:43Well, yes, but also I knew that if I fell, you'd be there to catch me.
00:23:51Hmm.
00:23:56Well, I wouldn't call exactly what I did catching. More like you landing on me like I'm your stunt pad.
00:24:02I would always hide how much it hurt, though.
00:24:13Now that I'm back, I'd love to pay my respects on today's Memorial Day, if that's okay with you.
00:24:19Yes. I wouldn't like that very much. Thank you, buddy.
00:24:24Of course, you're welcome. That's what buddies are for.
00:24:34Wait, Diana. It's raining outside. Let me drive you home.
00:24:41Okay. Thank you.
00:24:54Diana. You didn't get caught in the rain, did you?
00:25:08Oh, no. Not at all. Don't worry, Grandfather. I'm just a little tired. I'm going to go upstairs. I'm going to sleep. Good night.
00:25:17Wait a second. Wait a second. Do you care to share or are you concerned about the generation gap and I might be a little too old?
00:25:29Oh, of course not, Grandfather. How could you say that?
00:25:33So where is the gift you were given today?
00:25:38What gift?
00:25:40Oh, I think it's called a brooch. Have you put it away for safekeeping?
00:25:44Why are you so interested in it?
00:25:45Oh, I'm just checking.
00:25:49I do remember you looking at it for a while. Does it mean anything to you?
00:25:56You know, I think I hear my bed calling me. I'm going to turn in for the night.
00:26:04Oh, Grandfather. I can help you.
00:26:07Oh, sweetheart. I'm perfectly capable of finding my bedroom.
00:26:12Okay. Good night.
00:26:13Good night, sir.
00:26:28Boss, I heard that your wife has been running a fever since she returned us.
00:26:32Get the car ready.
00:26:33Mr. Parker, how are you? Do you mind if I come in?
00:26:35Not at all. Mr. Cooper, I am flattered for a personal visit.
00:26:47I, uh, was impressed by your attendance at the, uh, signing dinner last night.
00:26:50Oh, I am just a student in your presence, Mr. Cooper.
00:26:52Oh, the student, uh, the student surpasses the master, inevitably. You know, the world is changing. And, uh, old relics like me, we can't keep up.
00:27:07Which is why I'm very happy that we're passing the business, uh, to young people, uh, like you two.
00:27:23You two?
00:27:24Yes. You and Diana have been playmates since you were very young. And I will be relieved when, um, you take charge of the business, uh, together in the future.
00:27:45One thing I can't quite figure out about you young people. When I saw you pinning the brooch on Diana last night, uh, she was overjoyed.
00:28:01So, why did she return it?
00:28:04Oh.
00:28:07Well, I'm sure it means something to you. Does it mean anything, anything special?
00:28:14No. No, actually, you can have it if that's what you came for.
00:28:20Oh, no, no, that's fine. I, uh, I was just in the area and thought I'd stop in to, um, say hello. Have a good day.
00:28:28Do you think Edward suspects something? The more he talks, the more I think he's got this figured out.
00:28:44Sir, I think you're overthinking this. He was a young child when his parents died. And after that amount of time, to look back and determine that it was us that tampered with the drinks at the garden party, people just assumed that his parents died because his dad had a heart attack when they were driving home that evening.
00:29:04What about his mother's brooch? What if he recognizes it? And if so, why didn't he acknowledge it?
00:29:10He must be thinking that we are connected to the death of his parents. Why else would he be lurking around?
00:29:17Oh, that's why he's been a gardener all these years? Well, played. He had everyone fooled. He almost had me fooled.
00:29:32So that's why Mr. Parker has been secretly going back to the garden where we had the banquet. Do you think he's investigating his parents' death?
00:29:42Absolutely. It's all clear to me now. My only worry is that he, when he figures this out, he connects us.
00:29:52Diana, take this wall. Thanks. Thanks. Whoa. I really like that. Let's do that again.
00:30:02You know, I did notice at the signing dinner the other night that Mr. Parker had taken a likening to Diana.
00:30:26I noticed the same thing, too. You know, if she becomes family, that'll just make things that much easier.
00:30:36Mrs. Parker was terrible to him. And he was nice to her. He's soft. That's his weakness.
00:30:50I see. So, the closer he gets to Diana, even if he figures the truth out, he'll be too worried about her to come after us.
00:31:07Go get Diana. Right away, sir.
00:31:11You wanted to see me, Grandpa? Yes. How are things going with Mr. Parker?
00:31:22What kind of things? The project or the relationship?
00:31:26Oh, you know, I remember when you were kids. Edward would always get into trouble and you always covered him.
00:31:34I don't remember much about that time.
00:31:37Oh, come on. Your memory's at least as good as mine. And tell me what I wouldn't like to know about.
00:31:44I don't know what you're talking about. Your memory is so much better than mine.
00:31:48No, no, no. Flattery's not going to work this time.
00:31:50Look, I worry about you. My hope is that you can find a husband to take care of you someday.
00:32:09Is something wrong?
00:32:15Is something wrong?
00:32:17Miss Diana, I regret to inform you that the doctor sent word that his tumor is growing rapidly.
00:32:24What? Is that true? When were you going to tell me?
00:32:29He didn't want to worry you.
00:32:32Well, I'm worried. And what is this talk about a husband taking care of me?
00:32:37And a grandchild, too.
00:32:39I'm serious. You need to tell me these sort of things. What?
00:32:44My dear, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the tumor.
00:32:49What did the doctor say?
00:32:51He said that getting it...
00:32:54Worrying about it would only get worse.
00:32:59But let's talk about you and your future.
00:33:02So do you really think that Edward would make a good husband for me? He would take care of me?
00:33:06I will always respect your choices. But you have to respect my judgment.
00:33:13Of course, Grandpa. I'll find you a good grandson-in-law who will make you proud and you'll be happy with.
00:33:19Okay. Now it's getting late and you have to go to the company. But remember, given a choice between work and life, you've never heard of paycheck, so I love you.
00:33:35Of course, Grandpa. Thank you.
00:33:37Now you know what you have to do.
00:33:46Yes, I do.
00:33:55Spread the word and let it be known that Mr. Parker is going to be your new grandchild-in-law.
00:33:59Hi. Yes. I need you to take me to Mr. Parker's company.
00:34:25Oh. Here you are. So sick. Yet Mr. Parker doesn't come to visit.
00:34:35I do wonder who he's staying with. Even if he's angry or getting a divorce, you should at least have the decency to pay a visit.
00:34:42Or to his job as your business partner.
00:34:44Can you stop talking about him? I'm fine. I don't need him right now. Just need to focus on the company.
00:34:52What are you doing?
00:34:53No need to just sit here. Go get at the information like I asked.
00:34:56But you're still having a high fever.
00:34:59Get back to work.
00:35:00Get back to work.
00:35:12Did you find something?
00:35:15Do you remember our meeting with the Sloot Company?
00:35:20No. I don't think so.
00:35:21So strange. I can't remember either. But whenever we were in crisis, they would always send us money, but in a secretive way.
00:35:29I don't know.
00:35:32Get the car prepared.
00:35:34Where are we going?
00:35:35We have to find this Mr. X.
00:35:45Why are you here?
00:35:50And why are you? Never mind. I need to see the president.
00:35:52Oh, ladies? Sure. Do you have an appointment?
00:35:56You don't know who the president of the Yishan group is? You think she needs an appointment? Is that a joke?
00:36:02I am the president's special assistant. I don't know why you're here, but if you need an appointment, I'd be happy to assist you.
00:36:08Uh, but-
00:36:09Actually, do you know where the ladies' room is at?
00:36:12Miss Diana, didn't you just come here a day ago? Ladies?
00:36:15Here.
00:36:16Please, this way.
00:36:23So, currently working here as an assistant? Did Miss Cooper get you this? What else do I not know about?
00:36:30I met the president at the cocktail event last night, and this is my first day working with him.
00:36:36Hmm. That explains why you were so arrogant last night. You're nothing but a foot soldier underneath a bigger boss.
00:36:43Seems I underestimated you.
00:36:47Are you okay?
00:36:48Mm-hmm. I'm good.
00:36:49Are you sick? Do you have a fever?
00:36:51Good. Don't pretend like you care.
00:36:56I can assist you with any discussion you wish to have with my boss.
00:37:00You are far below the level.
00:37:06Look at Mr. X. A stranger is still so caring about my company. While you can't help me at all.
00:37:13When you find out that I'm your Mr. X, we'll see how you'll end up.
00:37:17After I get acquainted with Mr. X, I'll make sure he fires you.
00:37:21I'll let you be complacent for now, but when the time comes, you won't even have time to cry.
00:37:28I'm sorry, but it looks like my boss is swamped with meetings today. You'll have to come back another time.
00:37:34Can you stop with the runaround games? We know you've had a chip on your shoulder since she announced the divorce.
00:37:41Don't forget, just yesterday, you were nothing but an irrelevant gardener.
00:37:46Not available. Well, I spoke with the receptionist and they said he was in and available.
00:37:51Yes, yes, he is in the building today. However, his schedule is just very full.
00:37:56Well, when is his last meeting?
00:37:58Um, around midnight. How about this? I'll take a message and then I'll arrange a meeting for you.
00:38:08Can you briefly describe the reason for your visit today?
00:38:11Can you use your ears and listen to what she's saying? You're not someone that can discuss business with us.
00:38:17Who knows if you'd try to misinterpret what we say or tell your boss at all.
00:38:23Do you really think I'm that type of person, Camilla?
00:38:26Was that not obvious?
00:38:27Well, I think I'll sit and wait.
00:38:29I love to know you're here.
00:38:42While we're waiting, can you fetch the files?
00:38:47Bring me a salmon salad and some fever medicine to my office.
00:38:58Asap.
00:39:11Food's not eaten. Medicine's not taken. How do you-
00:39:16How can I what?
00:39:19How do you expect to be a trustworthy business partner if you don't even care about your health?
00:39:25So we're here to talk about my business now?
00:39:27I'm all ears.
00:39:30Although you won't tell me why you're here, I think I have a guess.
00:39:38Is it because of all the bankrolling due to eShine company during its crises?
00:39:44Am I warm?
00:39:45So I am right.
00:39:46You're not all that smart. Have you been talking to Camilla?
00:39:54No. No, she hates my guts. And two, I'm in charge of all the bookkeeping here. So I know about that and a whole lot more. Elizabeth, if you were nicer to me, I would have been happy to tell you everything I know about the bank transfers.
00:40:13Okay. Well, let's start over. I'll play nice and you can fill me in on what's going on.
00:40:20First things first. Eat the food. I'll tell you a little bit. Then if you take the medicine, I'll tell you everything you need to know.
00:40:29Camilla, I asked you to pick up the files. What's taking so long?
00:40:35Hi, Mrs. Parker. I apologize. Do you remember the project that we didn't make last time? Well, we just got the bid.
00:40:41What? Wait, the project that we didn't make last time? We just got the bid?
00:40:49Boss, you decided to make eShine ruin the bid?
00:40:52Yes. Yes. Otherwise, she won't leave. Now get on it.
00:40:56What? That's amazing. I'm on my way.
00:41:05Did you change your mind about staying?
00:41:07You don't know anything. You're just trying to waste my time, okay? Excuse me.
00:41:11Wait.
00:41:15Take the food and the medicine.
00:41:19Yes.
00:41:42Elizabeth?
00:41:44Elizabeth, stay with me.
00:41:45We're almost there.
00:41:48Be strong.
00:41:50Elizabeth?
00:41:51Elizabeth?
00:42:15Good morning, Sleeping Gorgeous.
00:42:16You feeling okay?
00:42:38Sometimes they're quite positive.
00:42:40Good morning, sleeping gorgeous. You feeling okay, sweetie?
00:42:46But what happened?
00:42:48You got a concussion in a car accident.
00:42:51But don't worry, the doctor said there's no major damage. You'll see her later, she'll explain everything.
00:43:01Lucky lady, your rich, handsome boyfriend came in every day with a new batch.
00:43:07Rich boyfriend?
00:43:10Don't be shy.
00:43:11It's nice to see men like him being romantic. A new batch of flowers, checking on you, being so sweet.
00:43:20No, he's just a gardener. He probably handpicked him himself.
00:43:24A gardener? Hmm.
00:43:26Well, if you don't want him, I'll take him.
00:43:29You have at it.
00:43:32He didn't come in today.
00:43:37Oh, Mrs. Parker, you're awake.
00:43:42The president is very worried about you and told us to choose the most beautiful white roses.
00:43:47We hoped that you would wake up surrounded by the most fragrant flowers.
00:43:52President?
00:43:53Yes, the president of Sloop Group daily picks the flowers for you.
00:43:57Oh, well, thank you.
00:44:01Oh, how quaint.
00:44:03White rose flowers are the best.
00:44:06My mother used to always say they mean,
00:44:08I am good enough.
00:44:14I'm good enough.
00:44:15Okay, we've got to get to Sloop Group.
00:44:28You need rest.
00:44:30I'm fine.
00:44:32We have unfinished business.
00:44:33Let's go.
00:44:34So, we have seen a 40% increase since last quarter,
00:44:43and that does translate into your holiday bonuses this year.
00:44:47We have 400,000.
00:44:51Stand up.
00:44:52Stand up.
00:44:52Stand up right now.
00:44:53Stand up right now.
00:44:54Evening ladies, how can I help you?
00:44:56I need to see the president right now.
00:44:58Let me know.
00:44:59Edward?
00:45:00What?
00:45:00Elizabeth, you're out of the hospital.
00:45:05It is so good to see you.
00:45:07I miss you so much.
00:45:08Oh, please.
00:45:09What did the nurse tell you?
00:45:10Stop pretending like you care about her.
00:45:13I was there every day.
00:45:15I would have seen you.
00:45:16What?
00:45:18Don't think I forgot about our divorce.
00:45:20Elizabeth.
00:45:21Look, I'm really busy today.
00:45:22Is your boss here, or does he have meetings?
00:45:26Did you forget about our agreement?
00:45:28What agreement?
00:45:29At the signing dinner.
00:45:30You agreed that if I helped you get a contract,
00:45:34you would reconsider the divorce.
00:45:35Are you breaking that agreement?
00:45:37Okay, well, Miss Cooper is a part of that agreement, too.
00:45:40And to be honest, I don't think you're trying to be helpful.
00:45:42I think you're just trying to use me because I'm close to them.
00:45:45I have it figured out, Edward, okay?
00:45:48That's why he was kissing up to you all night.
00:45:50For the introduction of his godson or whatever.
00:45:53When did you hear that?
00:45:55How sad.
00:45:56Trying to make a career out of marrying into wealthy families.
00:45:58Well, maybe we should give Miss Cooper the project.
00:46:01It could be a little wedding gift.
00:46:03The big project?
00:46:04You've been working on it for three months.
00:46:06It's okay.
00:46:08That's good.
00:46:09We're on to bigger and better things.
00:46:10Elizabeth, you're going to trade everything you've worked so hard for for your career?
00:46:15You didn't even meet Mr. X, this mystery man.
00:46:20You're acting like you're in love with him.
00:46:22Don't you dare.
00:46:23That's what you're trading, Elizabeth.
00:46:25Business for some unknown love.
00:46:27Don't you dare try to talk to me about love.
00:46:30What?
00:46:30Was it love when you left me out in the rain and went home with Diana?
00:46:34Or was it love when you didn't come see me at the hospital?
00:46:36I'm done.
00:46:39Camilla, let's go.
00:46:40You didn't want to meet with the SLU president?
00:46:42Not like this.
00:46:45Look at what you did!
00:46:51I am going to go into my office and spend some time alone.
00:46:55Move all my meetings till tomorrow and guard the door.
00:46:59I don't want to be disturbed right now.
00:47:09Not even by me?
00:47:13Diana, sorry, I didn't expect you.
00:47:17What are you doing here?
00:47:20Edward, what's on your mind?
00:47:22You know, when we were younger, I would always sing you this song when you were upset.
00:47:31And no matter if you'd fallen over or lost a toy, it would make you laugh within ten seconds.
00:47:37Would you like me to sing it to you again?
00:47:41We're not kids anymore.
00:47:44But when I'd make you laugh, you'd give me a big hug.
00:47:48Do you want to give me one now?
00:47:50Diana, you're a good woman, but I just don't want you to misread the things that are between us.
00:48:00Is it so difficult for you to see me as more than your buddy?
00:48:03I'm sorry.
00:48:05I just have a lot on my mind right now.
00:48:08Like Elizabeth.
00:48:14What's so funny?
00:48:17It's just my grandfather.
00:48:18He, you know, he's been the closest one to me since my parents passed.
00:48:23And he always thought that you and I would end up together.
00:48:27Maybe because, you know, both of our parents passed away.
00:48:30Do not bring up my parents.
00:48:33I'm sorry.
00:48:34I didn't mean to bring that up.
00:48:38How is he?
00:48:40His tumor is increasing rapidly and I think he's going to die.
00:48:48I just feel so bad because I didn't take care of him as much as I should have.
00:48:52And he's right.
00:48:56Family is the most important thing.
00:48:58Diana, you let bad people manipulate you into doing what they want.
00:49:07Your grandfather knows nothing about family.
00:49:10He knows nothing about what it feels like to grow up without the people you love most.
00:49:14I'm sorry.
00:49:20I just had a huge fight with Elizabeth.
00:49:24I didn't mean to take it out on you when you don't know what's going on.
00:49:31I actually saw it all.
00:49:33I'm so sorry that she misunderstood our relationship.
00:49:40It really is my fault.
00:49:42I should be apologizing.
00:49:44You've been having a hard time.
00:49:47Diana, sometimes it feels like you're the only one who understands me.
00:49:53Edward.
00:49:54If you say so.
00:49:57I know how you feel about her.
00:49:59I won't make things difficult on you.
00:50:00But you said that my grandfather didn't know about family.
00:50:06What did you mean by that?
00:50:07Nothing.
00:50:08Nothing.
00:50:09I was frustrated.
00:50:10I'm sorry.
00:50:15Well, it seems like you want to be left alone, so I guess I'll leave.
00:50:26And if you want to make it up to me, you know, like for lunch,
00:50:30it'll be your treat.
00:50:33Yeah.
00:50:34You got it.
00:50:40Oh, there's no need to be nervous.
00:50:42Diana went to visit Edward at the office.
00:50:47I've spoken to the driver.
00:50:49The driver is going to call me.
00:50:50We'll have plenty of time to move upstairs,
00:50:53and we can pretend to be sick.
00:50:56Of course, sir.
00:51:00You're looking very well, grandfather.
00:51:04I spoke to the doctors,
00:51:06and they said there's no tumor.
00:51:08Miss Diana,
00:51:09your grandfather's had a bit of good health recently.
00:51:13Save it.
00:51:14How can you lie to me like this?
00:51:16Miss,
00:51:17it can be explained.
00:51:19I was speaking to my grandfather.
00:51:21Diana,
00:51:22he's an elder.
00:51:23Have some respect.
00:51:24Why the charade?
00:51:27Don't you understand that he does this for the sake of your happiness?
00:51:30For the sake of my happiness?
00:51:34Yes.
00:51:35Of course.
00:51:37And how is this for me?
00:51:39Huh?
00:51:39He just wants you to know that he's not going to be here for a long time.
00:51:47He just wants you to live your life
00:51:49and have a happy family like you didn't have
00:51:53because of the loss of your parents.
00:51:55Oh, so you guilt me into pushing myself on Edward.
00:51:59Are we just two little sad orphans
00:52:02that you feel the need to manipulate?
00:52:06Are we just that desperate?
00:52:07Stop with the lies.
00:52:11You guys can stop pretending.
00:52:13Edward told me everything about his family.
00:52:25Mr. Parker must have misunderstood you.
00:52:29Please, don't listen to anything that he told you.
00:52:33Our intentions were just to make his parents feel a little uncomfortable
00:52:36and stay at the manor longer.
00:52:40This would have given your granddad more time
00:52:42to persuade his parents to sign.
00:52:48I got nervous
00:52:49and
00:52:50I gave the wrong dose.
00:52:53I didn't know it was going to cause his dad to have a heart attack.
00:52:59Look, your grandfather had nothing to do with this.
00:53:03If you want to blame someone,
00:53:07blame me.
00:53:09Welcome to that.
00:53:34Well, thank you for reminding us, Mr. Cooper.
00:53:36Who said that?
00:53:41If I want to blame for the early commentaries,
00:53:46if I saw a bad answer at the end,
00:53:48of Q sono,
00:53:51I cried when the鎖,
00:53:52Iğlu gave국
00:53:54him G and him.
00:53:54He said that but not.
00:53:56It was a big move.
00:53:56Thank you Dr. Perry.
00:53:57I thought that I was flying for a moment.
00:53:58It's not scary.
00:53:59No matter how.
00:54:00I state yourarth my father too much.
00:54:00Who said that?
00:54:02Yeah, you know I.
00:54:02That brooch, it belonged to Edward's mother.
00:54:07I recognize it all now.
00:54:12No.
00:54:14No.
00:54:16This can't be true.
00:54:19Diana.
00:54:20I understand it all now.
00:54:23I couldn't let you go before.
00:54:28You insisted on sending me abroad for school.
00:54:33I reminded you of Edward.
00:54:37So you wanted to keep your distance.
00:54:43Now I'm back and you're kind to me.
00:54:47But it was because you wanted me to help you get Edward off your back.
00:54:54So he wouldn't learn the truth and come after you.
00:54:58Diana.
00:54:59No more lies.
00:55:00Diana.
00:55:01Diana.
00:55:02Diana.
00:55:03I've just wanted to send that on.
00:55:04Edward, listen to me.
00:55:05My grandfather.
00:55:06He didn't mean to kill your parents.
00:55:07It was an accident.
00:55:08It was an accident.
00:55:09His butler.
00:55:10His butler.
00:55:11He gave him an extra dose of some sort of drug that somehow gave him an accident.
00:55:13It was an accident.
00:55:14His butler.
00:55:15He gave him an extra dose of some sort of drug that somehow gave him a heart attack.
00:55:16And that's what really killed them.
00:55:17And that's what really killed them.
00:55:18They're murderers.
00:55:19They're murderers.
00:55:20I'm so sorry.
00:55:21I'm so sorry.
00:55:22I didn't know that you were thinking about this the whole time.
00:55:25What did you just say?
00:55:26Wait.
00:55:27Wait.
00:55:28Wait.
00:55:29Why are you here?
00:55:30Where are you here?
00:55:45They're murderers.
00:55:47I'm so sorry.
00:55:48I didn't know that you were thinking about this the whole time.
00:55:52What did you just say?
00:55:55Wait.
00:55:58Why are you here?
00:55:59Diana, I came here to apologize to you for how I treated you earlier,
00:56:04but now I know that my suspicions about what happened to my parents are correct,
00:56:08so thank you, Diana.
00:56:09Wait, wait, wait.
00:56:10Listen to me.
00:56:11Listen to me.
00:56:12Let's just talk about this, okay?
00:56:14I didn't know that you didn't know about this.
00:56:17I'm sorry.
00:56:18You don't want to make this mistake right now.
00:56:20It would ruin your life.
00:56:23He's just an old, crazy, evil man.
00:56:28I'm sorry.
00:56:30Please.
00:56:31He would win if you hurt him like this.
00:56:35Just think about it.
00:56:36You can hurt him in any other way.
00:56:44The brooch I found had my mother's hair all tangled in it,
00:56:55and I was thinking, no, no, no.
00:56:57My mother never, never lets her hair get tangled in the brooch
00:57:01because they must have fallen off during a stroll.
00:57:05So she couldn't have died in the car accident.
00:57:09She couldn't have died in the car accident.
00:57:11It must have been connected to the last place that they were.
00:57:15The garden on your grandfather's turf.
00:57:20That's why I found the brooch of my mother's herald.
00:57:25Diana, thank you for confirming my suspicions that I couldn't believe before.
00:57:31You're an angel.
00:57:32Why are you here?
00:57:37Why are you here?
00:57:38Mrs. Parker, I suggest you seriously consider my proposal.
00:57:46Well, now I see how you get your reputation.
00:57:49I'm flattered.
00:57:51You know, Edward, that boy pretended to be a gardener for three whole years.
00:57:58Fooled everybody.
00:58:01That is a committed rival.
00:58:03Now, even Achilles had a weakness.
00:58:08Are you threatening me?
00:58:09How is that a threat?
00:58:11I give you a choice.
00:58:13Either I report you for illegal trading or we cooperate.
00:58:20No, we both know that deal was legal.
00:58:22I don't need strong evidence to destroy your reputation.
00:58:28Think about the unfavorable publicity for Eshine.
00:58:33And is your board willing to be patient that long,
00:58:37even if it takes you a year and a half to prove your innocence.
00:58:41Well, I'll talk to Edward.
00:58:44Whether he'll listen to me or not, I can't guarantee that.
00:58:46Well, good luck then.
00:58:49Have good luck.
00:58:50Sir, how can you be so sure that she can get through to Edward?
00:59:07I watched him the night of the banquet,
00:59:10and she was very hard on him, and yet he helped her.
00:59:14She is his Achilles heel.
00:59:24I heard about your parents.
00:59:26I'm so sorry.
00:59:28So, you know the whole story.
00:59:31What exactly did that old man tell you?
00:59:35I don't have a choice.
00:59:37Okay, if I don't do what they say,
00:59:38they're going to report me for illegal money laundering.
00:59:41Cooper, you old man!
00:59:45Get out here and face me!
00:59:48Come on, you coward!
00:59:52Isn't this easier?
00:59:54Facing me instead of going through the people I love?
00:59:56What are you talking about?
00:59:59You only know one page of the whole book, old man.
01:00:04The money transfer you're talking about.
01:00:07It's under the name Sloop Group, isn't it?
01:00:10You know that, too.
01:00:13Edward, you cannot get your boss involved into this.
01:00:15Elizabeth, it's fine!
01:00:18There is no need to make this so complicated
01:00:21if you just let the past go.
01:00:26I don't have to report your wife.
01:00:28Otherwise, she, her company, is likely to go bankrupt
01:00:35and she may spend the rest of her days in jail.
01:00:40Don't play tricks on us.
01:00:42Okay, I will be falsely accused
01:00:44before you get your boss involved into this.
01:00:46Agent Adams, thanks for coming so soon.
01:00:57The culprit in your money laundering scheme
01:01:00is right here in front of you.
01:01:03Mrs. Parker, we're going to need you to come with us.
01:01:06We have some questions for you about your business cash flow.
01:01:09I'm not saying anything until I have a lawyer present.
01:01:11Wait.
01:01:14The person you're really looking for is me.
01:01:19No.
01:01:20I am the founder and CEO of Sloop Group.
01:01:26Elizabeth had nothing to do with the money transfers.
01:01:28No.
01:01:35Agent Adams.
01:01:36Grandfather, how could you?
01:01:55Good job, gentlemen.
01:01:57That old fox took bait.
01:01:59She did.
