00:00:00Can you just get to the point? I'm missing an important meeting.
00:00:14I understand, but I can't commence the reading of your father's will without your brother here.
00:00:22What the actual fuck? It's noon and you're drunk already.
00:00:26Hello, Frankie.
00:00:32Let's get decided, shall we?
00:00:36Your father's last will and testament read before his two sons as stipulated.
00:00:43In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares, and stocks, will only be inherited by one of my sons.
00:00:53Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
00:00:58That's bullshit! We gonna know it?
00:01:01This is your father's updated will. He was of sound mind when it was revised.
00:01:05Revised? When?
00:01:08A few weeks before his death. I assure you, these are his true wishes. If you'll please get seated, son.
00:01:14Fuck, you fucking son.
00:01:16Take your fucking seat, Jack. Seems there's more we need to hear.
00:01:20That woman has already been chosen by me. Evangeline Harris. She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
00:01:30By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman. I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but to my disappointment, you have both grown overly arrogant and dismissive of those you consider to be inferior to you in both social standing and in wealth.
00:01:43My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class or status. I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love, and kindness.
00:01:53This makes no sense at all. Marrying a stranger? How do we even get in touch with this woman? Evangeline...
00:02:05Evangeline Harris, your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch with her won't be an issue.
00:02:12You seem a little bit composed, brother. Something like to tell me. I beg your pardon?
00:02:18You seem all calm the whole way. A little too well. It's almost like he already knew what was happening.
00:02:25Please tell me that's a joke. I'm concerned about how to get to the bottom of this, and you're concerned that I'm just not falling apart.
00:02:32You were here before me. God knows for how long.
00:02:36Yeah, because I understand punctuality. Unlike you, you chose to be late, as usual.
00:02:44Let's not forget that you're daddy's little favourite, hey? Who knows what else he'd give you a little hint about the will.
00:02:51For fuck's sake, Jack. Don't start this shit now. We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each other.
00:02:59Okay, let me say dearest brother. But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in the end.
00:03:05Oh, come on, Jack. Don't be such a child. Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter what.
00:03:12Good thing he's not near anymore, huh?
00:03:17For so many people, we can't wait for it.
00:03:18It's time without a douche.
00:03:19Oh, my God.
00:03:20What changed it?
00:03:22Oh, my God.
00:03:23Oh, my God.
00:03:24Yeah.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:29Oh, my God.
00:03:30Oh, my God.
00:03:31Oh, my God.
00:03:33Oh, my God.
00:03:34Oh, my God.
00:03:35Oh, my God.
00:03:36Oh, my God.
00:03:40Oh, my God.
00:03:42Oh, my God.
00:03:44Oh, my God.
00:03:45Oh, my God.
00:03:46Hey, this is the hundredth voicemail I've left you.
00:04:01Call me when you get this one.
00:04:08Tony boy, how'd you be looking for me?
00:04:11Speak of the devil.
00:04:13Where the fuck have you been?
00:04:14I've been trying to contact you for days.
00:04:17I've been here, there, you know.
00:04:20No, I don't know.
00:04:22And can you stop playing with that?
00:04:23You always make a mess of things.
00:04:25You're always trying to control things.
00:04:27Maybe you should understand how things really work.
00:04:30What are you talking about?
00:04:32Are you drunk right now?
00:04:34Because you're not making much sense.
00:04:36Nope.
00:04:37So is a nut.
00:04:38Enough of the cryptic talk.
00:04:39And why are you so late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
00:04:42John, John, you're always focusing on the things that aren't important.
00:04:47Why don't you just give it a little?
00:04:49The things that aren't important.
00:04:51Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad?
00:04:54We actually have to keep it alive.
00:04:56Well, luckily we have you then.
00:04:58Hey.
00:04:59Actually, you best be on it.
00:05:00I better be going.
00:05:01I'll do this chat another time.
00:05:02Where the fuck are you off to now?
00:05:11You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
00:05:14To think that I was worried about you,
00:05:16only to find out you had been in contact with Evangeline Harris.
00:05:19Damn, bro.
00:05:20Did you run here?
00:05:22Hey, easy tiger.
00:05:23What can I say?
00:05:26I'll work better alone.
00:05:28Besides, this situation is best men wins.
00:05:32I don't see that both of us are getting married to her.
00:05:34Welcome.
00:05:37Jack, I see you're here early this time.
00:05:40This wouldn't be a bit worth the time.
00:05:42Heads up to my brother, didn't you?
00:05:45Actually, I was obligated to share this information with both of you at the same time.
00:05:48Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank.
00:05:51God knows if it were up to Jack, I'd still be up at the office.
00:05:55Is she going to be worth the time?
00:05:56Shut up, jackass.
00:06:04Miss Harris won't be coming to the meeting.
00:06:06And we all know what that means.
00:06:08It's without her, nothing can move forward.
00:06:12Damn it.
00:06:18Coming!
00:06:47Mom!
00:06:47Mom!
00:06:48What are you doing here?
00:06:50I had no idea.
00:06:51We were still in fire.
00:06:51Eva, you look a mess.
00:06:53How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
00:07:03I'm doing housework, Mom.
00:07:04Am I supposed to have a full face of makeup on?
00:07:06Oh, well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place.
00:07:11Surely you can find somewhere better.
00:07:13Your standards are so high.
00:07:15It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
00:07:18And besides, I like it here.
00:07:20It's nice and it's cozy.
00:07:21Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities and you've got to grab them when they're presented
00:07:28to you.
00:07:29I guess.
00:07:30I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorn's lawyers.
00:07:35Yeah?
00:07:37How did you know about that?
00:07:38Oh, never mind.
00:07:39Why didn't you go?
00:07:40Because it seemed shady.
00:07:42I've never spoken to that man before.
00:07:44And I only know the name Blackthorn because you work for the late Mr. Blackthorn.
00:07:48What on earth do they work with me?
00:07:51And you just dodged my question.
00:07:53How do you know about that meeting?
00:07:55Because I set it up.
00:07:56What do you mean you set it up?
00:08:05What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
00:08:08What's going on, Mum?
00:08:09Calm down, child.
00:08:10Let me explain.
00:08:12You see, when Mr. Blackthorn neared his end, he kind of started opening up to me and talking
00:08:19about his life, about his late wife, his two sons, Jack and John, fraternal twins.
00:08:26And you see, he even asked about my life.
00:08:28That's interesting, but that doesn't quite answer anything.
00:08:31But you see, when we got talking, we realized that we could possibly help each other.
00:08:35You see, he realized that his two sons had a bit of a, let's call it a classist issue.
00:08:42You mean they're pretentious rich boy pricks?
00:08:44That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
00:08:46Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy and be a little bit
00:08:51less pretentious, and I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:56She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
00:08:59What?
00:09:01You told him that about me?
00:09:03Parents talk about their kids.
00:09:05You see, I told him that you were fussy about, you know, the men you were dating, lacking in
00:09:09a bit of ambition, and, you know, Mr. Blackthorn was really alone at that time, and his two
00:09:14boys was always just too busy to visit him.
00:09:17He might have been a little muddled at that point, but anyway, we still came to an agreement.
00:09:22What sort of agreement, Mum?
00:09:24Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you in order to inherit
00:09:30his wealth.
00:09:32You can't be serious.
00:09:34You're joking, right?
00:09:35No, wait, let me finish.
00:09:37I am serious.
00:09:40You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
00:09:45Oh!
00:09:51You told that old man that I was a sad loser, that I would jump at the chance to marry one
00:10:02of his sons.
00:10:03So what if I don't have a man in my life with many friends?
00:10:06That's my choice.
00:10:08Mine.
00:10:09Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
00:10:12You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have
00:10:16and everything you don't have, and that you never had a thought that your life would be
00:10:21much easier if you had more.
00:10:24If you had more money, more status, and more opportunities.
00:10:28Yeah, I thought as much.
00:10:31I only ever wanted what was good for you.
00:10:35All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
00:10:41The things I never achieved.
00:10:43So it really hurts me when you imply that I want to pimp you out.
00:10:53What do the sons think about this crazy scheme?
00:10:55Well, you would have known that if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go
00:11:00to.
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:03But it's to marry a total stranger.
00:11:06A very wealthy stranger, really.
00:11:08Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
00:11:13It happens everywhere.
00:11:14They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
00:11:19No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do.
00:11:22But let's face it, you won't lose anything by trying at least.
00:11:25What happens if I don't like the guy and I don't want to go through a marriage?
00:11:28Well, then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves and work.
00:11:33through it at that point.
00:11:34At least they've learned just a fraction of the humility that their dad wanted for
00:11:38them.
00:11:42Well, maybe I'll meet the sons and see what it's like, but I can't guarantee anything third
00:11:47than that.
00:11:53Well, nice you get a son say, you good girl.
00:11:56John Blackthorn?
00:12:08Yes.
00:12:10You must be Miss Harris.
00:12:12Evangeline is fine.
00:12:13Or Eva, if you like.
00:12:15Eva it is, though.
00:12:16I'm John.
00:12:17I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:12:28You've literally just took my breath away right now.
00:12:30You're magnificent.
00:12:32I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting at your lawyer's.
00:12:37It just came from out of the blue.
00:12:39I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:12:44It just, it happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
00:12:48I just said yes.
00:12:49So, you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
00:12:56I, I have no idea.
00:12:57It's, it's quite strange.
00:13:00It's been a bit overwhelming.
00:13:03Even for me.
00:13:05For us.
00:13:08Isn't there supposed to be two of you?
00:13:10You're a Chinese that I'm supposed to meet with your brother as well.
00:13:14You must be all important, Miss Harris.
00:13:18Speak of the devil.
00:13:19Tell me something.
00:13:26How much are you really going to cost me?
00:13:30And you must be Jack Blackthorn.
00:13:33I guess you guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:13:35So, he came earlier to butter me up with outrageous compliments.
00:13:39And a new sweep in for the attack.
00:13:41What are you insinuating that I have to say?
00:13:44Am I interrupting something?
00:13:46Oh, don't tell me you're falling for his boyhood routine.
00:13:50Clearly this is an exchange.
00:13:52You for our father's wealth.
00:13:54Don't play dumb.
00:13:55What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:13:57Don't talk to her like that.
00:13:59It's disgusting.
00:14:01Oh, come on.
00:14:02You're coming on so strong, Johnny boy.
00:14:04Don't act all innocent now that she's looking so beautiful.
00:14:07Is that what you think a woman is?
00:14:10That we're only valuable for her way we look?
00:14:12No wonder your father locked you out of his wealth.
00:14:17You're not only classist, but you're sexist as well.
00:14:19Watch your fuck enough.
00:14:20You don't know anything about her.
00:14:22Or me.
00:14:24You think you're better than his nature.
00:14:26The fact that you've been here considering this professor says a lot about you.
00:14:29You fucking bitch.
00:14:30How much does this cost?
00:14:32Use it to mop up your toxicity, rich boy.
00:14:34You both go to hell with your upper.
00:14:35Evangeline, wait!
00:14:48Hold on a second.
00:14:52Nice one, Jack.
00:14:53Nice one.
00:14:54She's a spitfire, that one.
00:14:57What about those curves?
00:14:58You never know she'll be so hot.
00:15:00What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:15:02You made her change her mind.
00:15:04How hard is it to make light, goddammit?
00:15:06What, my father means firecracker can't take it, Jack.
00:15:09Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:15:11Are you sure about that?
00:15:13I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:17Don't worry, Johnny boy.
00:15:18I know women, and I saw the fire in her today, and she's burning for me.
00:15:23I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:15:25Nah.
00:15:26One way or another, I'll be holding that spark in my hand.
00:15:31Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:15:33You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:15:36You call her talking down, I call her flirting.
00:15:38Besides, we could see your emotions in less than 20 minutes.
00:15:44I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:15:46There's no denying it.
00:15:49We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt,
00:15:51and I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump a little bit more.
00:15:56Are you sure about that?
00:15:57I guess we'll find out.
00:16:04I guess we'll find out.
00:16:04I guess when you're talking to her,
00:16:06then you'll ask for a little bit more.
00:16:07What do you think you're speaking to her?
00:16:09I don't know if you're speaking to her.
00:16:10I just want to know if her brother was talking to her.
00:16:12I don't want to know if she likes myself.
00:16:22They'll be in the middle of her, then you'll be in the middle of her.
00:16:25I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline.
00:16:36Open the door.
00:16:39I'm coming.
00:16:44Ignoring your mother.
00:16:46That's such childish behavior.
00:16:50My mum, I didn't know with you.
00:16:52Carbs, really.
00:16:53You need to watch your figure, but anyway, we'll talk about that later.
00:16:57I'm here for a different reason.
00:16:59What reason?
00:17:01Well, must I spell it out for you?
00:17:02I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Blackthorns.
00:17:06I told you what happened.
00:17:08Please don't tell me you came all this way just to talk about it again.
00:17:11That I teach you nothing about perseverance.
00:17:14Here you have a chance to change your life and even find love along the way.
00:17:18And you want to throw it away just because of one small little comment.
00:17:22I don't know what you're saying.
00:17:23Seriously, something you mean?
00:17:24Eva, I'm not asking you to reach out or even apologize to them.
00:17:29I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:17:32I made a promise to Mr. Blackthorn and I want to keep that.
00:17:35You speak like it's an obligation, but I know you didn't sign anything.
00:17:38No.
00:17:43Don't.
00:17:44John L. Jack.
00:17:51You've got to be kidding me.
00:18:19John Blackthorn.
00:18:23What are you doing here?
00:18:24Are you stalking me?
00:18:26How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:18:28I'm sorry.
00:18:29I didn't mean to start with you.
00:18:31Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:18:33You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:18:36My bad.
00:18:36I just wanted to talk to you and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:18:42Oh, yeah.
00:18:43Sorry about what?
00:18:46For being a two-faced Mr. Nice Guy?
00:18:48Or for being dumb when your brother insulted me?
00:18:51Eva, I'm...
00:18:52That's Evangeline to you.
00:18:54Right.
00:18:55Evangeline, I swear to you I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:19:02I meant every word I said about how beautiful you are.
00:19:06I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:10My brother can be...
00:19:12difficult sometimes.
00:19:14I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:19:19Well, that sounded better this time, but...
00:19:21I hope you know that I was...
00:19:23Look out!
00:19:31That was close.
00:19:33I really thought he was about to knock me over.
00:19:34If you hadn't grabbed me, I'd be lying on the road by now.
00:19:37You sure you're okay?
00:19:38You're not hurt anywhere?
00:19:39It's fine.
00:19:40You just miss me.
00:19:42You saved me.
00:19:42You're my hero.
00:19:44No, no.
00:19:45It's nothing like that.
00:19:47I just happened to be looking at the road at the right time.
00:19:51You know, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days.
00:19:57You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:20:00How did you get my number?
00:20:02Well, I...
00:20:03When you weren't answering and I needed to get a hold of you,
00:20:06I called Mr. Frank, who then called...
00:20:09My mother.
00:20:10She loves to meddle.
00:20:12Can I give you a ride home?
00:20:15Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:20:16Again, I'm sorry about what happened.
00:20:43And how something that started so nicely ended up so messy.
00:20:48And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:20:52It's okay.
00:20:53I'm over it now.
00:20:54And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:20:57Yeah, but I could have made sure you weren't...
00:21:01Sorry.
00:21:02No, it's okay.
00:21:11Family.
00:21:12This...
00:21:13This is me, so...
00:21:15Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:21:17Yeah, that'd be great.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:22Okay.
00:21:24This buckle's...
00:21:25This buckle's kind of stuck.
00:21:27Here, come here.
00:21:28You just need to rest in like this.
00:21:31Dammit, it's...
00:21:40It's work.
00:21:40I need to take this.
00:21:43Um, thanks.
00:21:44Thanks for the ride.
00:21:50I will never forget
00:21:51how scared you were
00:21:53when you thought a dead frog
00:21:54would come back to life and haunt you.
00:21:57I swear it looked me straight in the eye
00:21:59before it took its last breath.
00:22:00Probably memorizing my face
00:22:02so it could have its
00:22:02afterlife vengeance attack.
00:22:04Wasn't it for the school project?
00:22:06Um, you were...
00:22:06Oh my God, you were so scared
00:22:08that you were shivering all night
00:22:09with the lights on even up to midnight.
00:22:11It's funny now, but...
00:22:13Back then, it was
00:22:14a very different matter.
00:22:15I can assure you.
00:22:17You know why?
00:22:19Your mum was in stitches
00:22:20about the whole thing.
00:22:22No, she wasn't.
00:22:23She believed me.
00:22:24Aw, well come on.
00:22:25Didn't she just
00:22:26made you not feel terrible?
00:22:29That's probably true.
00:22:31But in my ten-year-old brain,
00:22:32mum believed in
00:22:33the ghosts of vindictive frogs.
00:22:36Yeah.
00:22:38She was something else.
00:22:40I mean, they do me so.
00:22:41Yeah, me too.
00:22:46And dad too, of course.
00:22:50Always look at this photo
00:22:51of the four of us, together.
00:22:58We used to have dinner
00:22:59as a weekly tradition.
00:23:01Why don't we do that anymore?
00:23:02No, I don't know.
00:23:06I think things got sad
00:23:08after mum died
00:23:09and we became busy,
00:23:11dad died,
00:23:11and I think we just
00:23:13lost the feeling
00:23:14of what it's like
00:23:15to be a family again.
00:23:18Well, why don't we change that?
00:23:24I've lost my appetite.
00:23:26I'll leave it to it,
00:23:27Johnny boy.
00:23:32Ah, Johnny boy.
00:23:45Welcome.
00:23:46Take a seat.
00:23:47Look, I've got the chef
00:23:48to make your favourite meal.
00:23:50Wow.
00:23:51It all looks so good.
00:23:54And you're in a very
00:23:55good mood tonight.
00:23:57Mm-hmm, yes.
00:23:57Thought after the way
00:23:58you stormed out last night
00:23:59I'd have to be worried about you.
00:24:01Don't worry about that.
00:24:02I've got that
00:24:03under control as usual.
00:24:04Well,
00:24:05maybe better now.
00:24:06We'll cheese to the night.
00:24:07Cheers.
00:24:11Hopefully you've worked
00:24:12out a big appetite.
00:24:13It's going to become
00:24:13a three-course meal.
00:24:15I'm as hungry
00:24:15as I've ever been.
00:24:16Mm-hmm.
00:24:17It all looks delicious.
00:24:19So,
00:24:21I noticed Miss Harris
00:24:23called you yesterday.
00:24:25I didn't realise
00:24:25you guys were
00:24:26becoming safe-less.
00:24:27So surprised.
00:24:29It's nothing serious.
00:24:30I reached out
00:24:32to apologise to her
00:24:33and we've been
00:24:34friendly ever since.
00:24:36So you're making progress, right?
00:24:38Sneaking slowly
00:24:39to her heart.
00:24:41One phone call
00:24:42at a time.
00:24:44What's next?
00:24:46Sex on the beach.
00:24:49Jack, please.
00:24:51Don't start that now.
00:24:52Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:24:55Hmm.
00:24:56I don't know.
00:24:59Oh.
00:25:00Hmm.
00:25:02What is it?
00:25:05Guess who's
00:25:05going to have
00:25:06Eva work under him?
00:25:07You asked to see me?
00:25:31Yes, I did.
00:25:32Have a seat.
00:25:32I don't understand.
00:25:35What are you doing here?
00:25:37Well, I bought
00:25:38the Hotel of the Old Owners.
00:25:39It's simple as that.
00:25:40Are you shocked
00:25:41to see me
00:25:41since the first time
00:25:42we met?
00:25:43Have you spoken
00:25:43about me at least?
00:25:45Well, I know
00:25:45you and my brother
00:25:46have been speaking
00:25:47and would you think
00:25:47I'm just going to
00:25:48vanish into thin air?
00:25:51No, I didn't ask
00:25:52about you.
00:25:53You went out
00:25:54of prick that day.
00:25:56Watch your tone,
00:25:57young lady.
00:25:58You don't want
00:25:58to be getting fired
00:25:59speaking to the boss
00:26:00now, would you?
00:26:01Of course not.
00:26:03You don't have to
00:26:04what?
00:26:04It's not going to
00:26:05ask you to
00:26:06blow me or anything
00:26:07for me.
00:26:07Not yet.
00:26:09I think HR
00:26:10would hate
00:26:10dear about that.
00:26:11I don't give a shit
00:26:12about HR.
00:26:14I own HR
00:26:14which means
00:26:15I own you.
00:26:17Well, that would be
00:26:18all, Miss Harris.
00:26:18You can never
00:26:19get back to work.
00:26:20But my brother
00:26:21doesn't need
00:26:22to know about this.
00:26:31just the man
00:26:49I was looking for.
00:26:51When is it this time?
00:26:53Take a look at this.
00:26:55Blackthorn Corporation
00:26:56isn't doing as badly
00:26:57as we'd feared.
00:26:58It's not as good
00:26:59as when Dad
00:26:59was here
00:27:00but still alive
00:27:01and kicking.
00:27:04I've got some news
00:27:05but I'm not sure
00:27:06if you're going to
00:27:06like it.
00:27:08I think it can wait.
00:27:09Can we take a look
00:27:10at this first?
00:27:11You can tell me after.
00:27:12No, it can't wait.
00:27:16Okay.
00:27:17You have my attention.
00:27:19What is it?
00:27:20I'm afraid I have to
00:27:20relinquish some of my
00:27:21responsibilities at Blackthorn
00:27:23Hall.
00:27:24What?
00:27:25Why?
00:27:26I bought a hotel.
00:27:27You bought a hotel?
00:27:28The Bellevue Hotel.
00:27:29I've just signed
00:27:30the papers.
00:27:30Why the fuck
00:27:31would you do that?
00:27:33You're barely even here.
00:27:34Now you've gone
00:27:35and bought a hotel?
00:27:36It's money from
00:27:37my own fund.
00:27:38You don't have to worry.
00:27:39I just thought
00:27:40I'd let you know
00:27:40because I won't be
00:27:41around much longer.
00:27:42All two things
00:27:43settle down.
00:27:46This is the hotel
00:27:47management.
00:27:47I'd best be off.
00:27:54This is quite a surprise.
00:27:59I mean,
00:27:59it's a good surprise.
00:28:01Yes, come in.
00:28:06So,
00:28:07this is your place.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:13Welcome to
00:28:13how the other half lives.
00:28:16I didn't mean...
00:28:18Isn't this what
00:28:20your father wanted for you?
00:28:21Do you mingle with
00:28:22the lower class?
00:28:24I'm just guessing
00:28:25with you.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:29These are for you.
00:28:33What's that one?
00:28:35My favourite thing.
00:28:37How did you know?
00:28:39I made a good guess.
00:28:41Somehow,
00:28:52I don't believe
00:28:53it was a random guess.
00:28:56Come on,
00:28:56tell me the truth.
00:28:59Okay,
00:28:59fine.
00:29:01You told me
00:29:02you really liked
00:29:03chrysanthemums
00:29:03since you were little
00:29:04and your grandpa
00:29:05used to grow them
00:29:06in his garden.
00:29:08Yeah,
00:29:09I do like them.
00:29:10They're
00:29:10beautiful
00:29:12and unique.
00:29:17I'm glad you love them.
00:29:19I almost got you
00:29:20wild orchids.
00:29:20I mean,
00:29:21I do like those too.
00:29:24I would have
00:29:25cooked dinner,
00:29:26but I do
00:29:28have chocolate chip ice cream.
00:29:32My favourite flavour.
00:29:34What's yours?
00:29:35Boring old vanilla,
00:29:36I'm afraid.
00:29:37Vanilla isn't always
00:29:40boring.
00:29:42It's, um,
00:29:45it's nice and
00:29:46plain.
00:29:51I'm sorry,
00:29:52I was trying to think
00:29:53of another adjective.
00:29:54Um,
00:29:54it's still nice.
00:30:00You're staring.
00:30:06Do I have something
00:30:06on my face?
00:30:08No.
00:30:10You're perfect.
00:30:13You're so beautiful,
00:30:14Evangeline.
00:30:18You're quite handsome,
00:30:19so...
00:30:22May I kiss you?
00:30:23No.
00:30:38Sorry,
00:30:38I don't know
00:30:39what came over me.
00:30:40It's all right,
00:30:41we just got up here a moment.
00:30:44Right.
00:30:45That's all.
00:30:47Did you know
00:30:47Jack was going to buy
00:30:48the hotel where I work?
00:30:50Is this some kind
00:30:51of weird game
00:30:52you guys are playing
00:30:52of inheritance?
00:30:54No.
00:30:55I had no idea
00:30:56it was going to do that.
00:30:59My brother talks
00:30:59cryptically,
00:31:00and he can be hard
00:31:01to decode sometimes.
00:31:02He didn't mention anything
00:31:04until a few minutes
00:31:04before you called.
00:31:06How come he can afford
00:31:07to buy a whole
00:31:07freaking hotel?
00:31:09Aren't you guys
00:31:09supposed to be
00:31:10hanging on to
00:31:11your father's properties?
00:31:13Yes,
00:31:14we are.
00:31:15But,
00:31:16his purchase
00:31:17didn't exactly
00:31:17make a dent
00:31:18in our savings.
00:31:19We both have
00:31:20healthy trust funds.
00:31:22Jack just
00:31:23took some money
00:31:24out of his
00:31:24to buy the hotel.
00:31:26Oh,
00:31:26well isn't it
00:31:26just fantastic
00:31:27which boys
00:31:28can do that?
00:31:29So what do I do?
00:31:31I like my job
00:31:32and I need it,
00:31:33but Jack told me
00:31:34to watch my back.
00:31:35I wasn't supposed
00:31:36to tell you that.
00:31:38I think he was
00:31:39just saying that
00:31:40to freak you out.
00:31:41He wouldn't have
00:31:41told me about the hotel
00:31:42if he didn't want me
00:31:43to know.
00:31:44I can't believe
00:31:45my new boss
00:31:46is trying to marry me
00:31:47so he can get a couple
00:31:48million dollars.
00:31:51More than
00:31:52a couple billion
00:31:53actually.
00:31:54Wow,
00:31:55I feel even more special.
00:31:59I should be going.
00:32:01Let me know
00:32:02if anything.
00:32:09I know you'll probably
00:32:10want to leave
00:32:10but would you like
00:32:11some pizza?
00:32:13It's good.
00:32:14I don't want to intrude.
00:32:15I'm just inviting
00:32:17you to join me.
00:32:17Just two friends
00:32:18eating pizza
00:32:19and chatting
00:32:20about life.
00:32:21Is that what we are?
00:32:23Friends?
00:32:24I think so.
00:32:25We're close enough
00:32:26at least.
00:32:27Even though I kissed you?
00:32:29Yes,
00:32:30even though you kissed me.
00:32:31Fine.
00:32:32This is so cozy.
00:32:45I know.
00:32:47I can't remember
00:32:48the last time
00:32:48I've just hung out
00:32:49like this.
00:32:50You're welcome.
00:32:51I swear to God.
00:33:06What?
00:33:06What was that?
00:33:07I noticed the look
00:33:07on your face.
00:33:09It's nothing serious.
00:33:10Just work.
00:33:12I don't have to deal
00:33:13with it right now.
00:33:14I'll be all right then.
00:33:20I'm just
00:33:21still thinking
00:33:25about the fact
00:33:26that, you know,
00:33:28Jack
00:33:28is now
00:33:30my boss.
00:33:34Will you bring
00:33:35it up with him?
00:33:37No.
00:33:38Not yet at least.
00:33:41I think it's best
00:33:42if he thinks
00:33:42he has the upper
00:33:43head for now.
00:33:46What happens next?
00:33:49I don't know,
00:33:50Eva.
00:33:51But I promise you
00:33:53he'll do nothing stupid.
00:33:55You have my word.
00:33:56I don't know.
00:34:08Hello my beautiful Eva.
00:34:10Work is hectic this morning
00:34:11and I'm meeting
00:34:12until later.
00:34:13How does dinner sound
00:34:13tonight?
00:34:14Yours, John.
00:34:17I can't wait
00:34:18thinking about nobody.
00:34:20Have a great day.
00:34:21Eva?
00:34:23Are you on
00:34:24your phone right now?
00:34:25This is not
00:34:26your personal space.
00:34:28Must I remind you
00:34:28that you're at work
00:34:29and you must be
00:34:30focusing on that?
00:34:32My apologies,
00:34:32sir.
00:34:33I was just
00:34:33checking my calendar.
00:34:34Ah, your calendar.
00:34:36How timely.
00:34:38Um, I promise
00:34:39I'm up to date
00:34:39on my morning tasks
00:34:40and I'm just
00:34:42currently waiting
00:34:42for candidates
00:34:43for the sous-chef role.
00:34:44I promise
00:34:45I haven't been
00:34:45slacking off.
00:34:47Well, I'll be
00:34:47the judge of that
00:34:48because I'll be
00:34:49supervising all
00:34:49interviews from now.
00:34:51All right.
00:34:51Of course.
00:34:53Of course.
00:34:54Mr. Blackpools,
00:34:56sir.
00:34:57You're my first
00:34:58now, Miss Harris.
00:34:59There's something
00:34:59I need to show you
00:35:00and it's urgent.
00:35:10Please shut the door
00:35:11behind you.
00:35:11Is there something
00:35:20wrong?
00:35:22As a matter of fact,
00:35:23there is.
00:35:27What's this?
00:35:28Go ahead and open it.
00:35:29It's a little present
00:35:30from me to you.
00:35:31I'm sure you'll find
00:35:32the contents
00:35:33quite interesting.
00:35:39What's this?
00:35:39When was this taken?
00:35:40These are pictures
00:35:42of my brother
00:35:43with his little
00:35:43fling at a fancy
00:35:44restaurant.
00:35:46This isn't real.
00:35:47This is AI
00:35:48doggy to something.
00:35:49I knew you'd say
00:35:50something like that
00:35:50so I have even
00:35:51stronger proof.
00:35:53Yes, see,
00:35:53my friends of the
00:35:54restaurant,
00:35:55I am quite close
00:35:56with the son
00:35:56and he could easily
00:35:57get the live feed
00:35:58and now I owe him.
00:36:01One way or another?
00:36:03This is fake.
00:36:04I don't believe you.
00:36:06Oh, you have
00:36:06magically fallen in love
00:36:07with him, haven't you?

00:36:14this one coming.
00:36:16Wow, Johnny boy

00:36:18quickly.
00:36:19Good on him.
00:36:21Since you have,
00:36:21you know,
00:36:22enough of a doubt for him,
00:36:23why don't you give him
00:36:24a call and ask
00:36:25for the camera footage
00:36:25yourself.
00:36:35There's only one way
00:36:36to find that now,
00:36:37isn't it?
00:36:37Call him.
00:36:38Call him.
00:36:38Call him.
00:36:42Call him.
00:36:44Call him.
00:36:48Call him.
00:36:50Call him.
00:36:52Call him.
00:36:54Call him.
00:36:57Hello, it's me.
00:37:01How's it going?
00:37:06You're in a meeting
00:37:07right now,
00:37:08is that correct?
00:37:11Uh-huh.
00:37:16Oh, don't be so sad.
00:37:20These women
00:37:21don't last long
00:37:22and I'm sure
00:37:23he's going to call
00:37:24and say it's just
00:37:24a business medium,
00:37:25but anyone with eyes
00:37:27and ears and a head
00:37:29will know
00:37:30that's nothing like that.
00:37:33Why are you doing this?
00:37:35Oh, well,
00:37:36I want to make sure
00:37:37that you know
00:37:37what kind of man
00:37:37my brother really is.
00:37:39And let me guess,
00:37:41you're the upstanding
00:37:42brother who's doing
00:37:43his betterment
00:37:44for the world,
00:37:45is that what this is?
00:37:49You can't pretend
00:37:50even for a second
00:37:51you haven't done this
00:37:52for your own
00:37:52nefarious purposes.
00:37:54No matter how selfless
00:37:55you want to appear,
00:37:56you're no better
00:37:57than your brother.
00:37:58In fact,
00:38:00I see more similarities
00:38:02than differences
00:38:03in you two now.
00:38:04Watch your tone,
00:38:05young woman.
00:38:06Maybe you forgot
00:38:07I'm still your boss.
00:38:08You don't want to get fired
00:38:10now over losing
00:38:10your temper
00:38:11for some man,
00:38:12do you?
00:38:15That's okay,
00:38:20you go back
00:38:20to the office now.
00:38:21Don't worry about
00:38:22the interviews,
00:38:22I'll take care of that.
00:38:23No, let me handle
00:38:24the interviews.
00:38:25I don't need a day off.
00:38:28Okay, fine.
00:38:29But make sure
00:38:29you're efficient.
00:38:30I don't want to hear
00:38:31any reports
00:38:32of my junior manager
00:38:33bursting into tears
00:38:34while screening new stuff.
00:38:36That'll be highly embarrassing.
00:38:39I'll make sure
00:38:39everything goes well.
00:38:45Hey, you.
00:38:50How was your meeting?
00:38:53You know,
00:38:53the one that took
00:38:54hours and hours
00:38:55of your time?
00:38:57Must have been
00:38:57really important.
00:39:01No, I'm afraid
00:39:02I won't be able
00:39:02to make it to dinner tonight.
00:39:04I'm not feeling
00:39:06too good,
00:39:06so we'll have to
00:39:08make a rain check
00:39:08until further notice.
00:39:15There you are.
00:39:28I've been knocking
00:39:29for ages.
00:39:30Your TV was so loud.
00:39:32I brought you ice cream.
00:39:34That's not necessary.
00:39:35I'm doing okay.
00:39:37Are you sure, Yago?
00:39:39You don't look so good.
00:39:41Have you been to the doctor?
00:39:43Was everything okay
00:39:44with you, John?
00:39:45You sound pissed off
00:39:46with me.
00:39:47What's wrong?
00:39:48You're acting strange
00:39:50and you haven't
00:39:51even let me come in.
00:39:53I don't think
00:39:53this is a conversation
00:39:54we should be having
00:39:55in the hallway.
00:39:56Strange?
00:39:57Or am I just not
00:39:58all over you
00:39:59like the other night?
00:40:00I guess you want
00:40:01a repeat.
00:40:02Too bad.
00:40:03It's not going to happen.
00:40:05What the fuck
00:40:05is that supposed to mean?
00:40:07Are you going to keep
00:40:08spitting cryptic phrases
00:40:09like that?
00:40:10Or are you going to
00:40:10let me come in
00:40:10so we can have
00:40:11a civilized conversation?
00:40:13The ice cream's melting.
00:40:14I don't give a shit
00:40:15about the melting ice cream.
00:40:18I hope it ruins
00:40:19your expensive shoes.
00:40:20The last time we spoke
00:40:21you were cheerful.
00:40:22Now you're acting
00:40:23like a dog pissed
00:40:24in your cereal.
00:40:25If I said
00:40:26or did something wrong
00:40:27just let me know, okay?
00:40:29Fuck off!
00:40:30That's what I want
00:40:31to tell you.
00:40:31Where is this coming from?
00:40:38You didn't give me
00:40:39a single clue
00:40:40that anything was wrong
00:40:41and now you're
00:40:41blowing up in my face.
00:40:43You know,
00:40:44I ordered Chinese food
00:40:45but ice cream will do.
00:40:47Are you even listening to me?
00:40:49You're acting like
00:40:50I'm not even talking to you.
00:40:52You came to check up on me
00:40:53and you've done that.
00:40:55You brought me my ice cream
00:40:56and you can go
00:40:57any merry way.
00:40:59Don't you dare touch me.
00:41:01What the hell, Evangeline?
00:41:03You're being childish
00:41:04and lashing out
00:41:05for no good reason.
00:41:06If you didn't want to see me
00:41:08you could have
00:41:08given me a single phone call.
00:41:10You didn't have to fake illness
00:41:12just to get out of seeing me.
00:41:13Yeah, whatever.
00:41:15You can see yourself out.
00:41:17Have a nice light, John.
00:41:19Eva, wait!
00:41:28But of course
00:41:28I'll pay you back.
00:41:29Disgust you say such a thing.
00:41:31Well, you know how things go.
00:41:33One good turn
00:41:33turns to another.
00:41:36Anyway,
00:41:36I've got to go.
00:41:37I'll call you back later.
00:41:38Bye.
00:41:45Hey, brother.
00:41:47What are you doing here?
00:41:49Is it a crime
00:41:49to come check up on family?
00:41:51What are you really doing here, John?
00:41:53I doubt family concerns
00:41:54brought you here.
00:41:56Who did you come to see Eva?
00:41:58I know you know she works here
00:41:59and she does look gorgeous
00:42:00in that tight body.
00:42:02You keep her name
00:42:03out of your mouth.
00:42:05So I am right.
00:42:06You did come all this way
00:42:07just to see your little girlfriend.
00:42:09Don't tell me
00:42:10you've had a little rocky patch
00:42:11now, have you?
00:42:13How do you know about that?
00:42:15Maybe she told me.
00:42:17Why do I get the feeling
00:42:18that you had something
00:42:19to do with it?
00:42:20Well, why don't you ask yourself?
00:42:22I'm sure she'll be in here
00:42:23in a second.
00:42:24Funnily enough,
00:42:25why don't you count down
00:42:25with me in five,
00:42:27four,
00:42:28three...
00:42:29these are the reports
00:42:30you asked for.
00:42:37These are the reports
00:42:38you asked for.
00:42:39Ah, please come in.
00:42:41Right on time.
00:42:42I had just finished
00:42:43speaking with IT.
00:42:44They've made the changes
00:42:45you've requested already
00:42:46and I was able to export
00:42:48the new data
00:42:48into the system.
00:42:50Have you?
00:42:51Look, why don't you come
00:42:51a little bit closer.
00:42:52You seem a bit comfortable
00:42:53over there.
00:42:59You're really going to act
00:43:00like you can't see me
00:43:01right now?
00:43:02Either.
00:43:03That'll be all now.
00:43:04We do need a cross-check
00:43:05to make sure the figure's
00:43:06all right
00:43:07and make sure it's all
00:43:08foolproof, all right?
00:43:09Okay, I'll get on to that
00:43:10right now
00:43:10and I'll check the new
00:43:12schedules.
00:43:13Okay.
00:43:17Please move out of my way.
00:43:19You're acting like I'm
00:43:20radioactive.
00:43:21John, can you please
00:43:22step aside and let her
00:43:23get to work, thank you.
00:43:24You stay out of this, Jack.
00:43:26It's none of your business.
00:43:27This is between me and her.
00:43:30There is nothing
00:43:30between you and I.
00:43:31In fact, I doubt
00:43:32there ever was.
00:43:39Fucking asshole.
00:43:40What bullshit
00:43:40did you tell her now?
00:43:41Watch your tone, young man.
00:43:43You're not the boss
00:43:44around here.
00:43:46If you don't watch
00:43:46yourself, Johnny boy,
00:43:48I might just get screwed
00:43:48to escort your little bum bum
00:43:50out of here now.
00:43:51Whatever you did,
00:43:52I'm going to get
00:43:53some bottom of it.
00:44:00You'll be less
00:44:01stressful if you
00:44:01had a strongly drink.
00:44:04No, I'm good
00:44:05with this, thank you.
00:44:06Has my brother
00:44:07tried contacting you?
00:44:08He was quite adamant
00:44:08last time.
00:44:10No, he hasn't.
00:44:12That's good.
00:44:15Some of the staff
00:44:15have been approved
00:44:16turn-off, so we just
00:44:17need to adjust
00:44:18the budgets.
00:44:19Let me see that.
00:44:22Yeah, that's much better.
00:44:23I can really see
00:44:24this thing going
00:44:24to be in the hell.
00:44:27So I'll just
00:44:28need your signature
00:44:29here,
00:44:30and here.
00:44:31Have I told you
00:44:32how beautiful you look
00:44:33today?
00:44:34What?
00:44:35Don't act
00:44:35if you're surprised.
00:44:37You surely have to
00:44:38know how you act
00:44:38around me when you're
00:44:39dressed like that.
00:44:40All of us here,
00:44:41why don't you be so shy?
00:44:42I think we're done
00:44:45for the day.
00:44:46I'm going to want
00:44:47some attention to this.
00:44:48What the hell are you
00:44:49doing?
00:45:00Jack, that hat
00:45:01let go of me!
00:45:02That's exactly what I'm
00:45:03doing.
00:45:03You're so naive.
00:45:05Heck, stop.
00:45:07Why are you so
00:45:08resistant?
00:45:09I know you want it.
00:45:10You're so naive.
00:45:17Sexual assault
00:45:19you won't get away.
00:45:21I feel better
00:45:22be able to try
00:45:23or...
00:45:23Fucking bitch
00:45:25where's going?
00:45:26Ah!
00:45:26What's this?
00:45:41That's a half a million dollars.
00:45:44Yours, yeah.
00:45:45Fine.
00:45:46I know you didn't just call me under the blue for nothing.
00:45:52I was coming to you because I know your daughter's best interest at all.
00:45:55She's especially got that evil.
00:46:00Now I can tell that you know your way around words.
00:46:02Can we just get straight to the point, please?
00:46:05Alright then.
00:46:07You're aware of stipulations in my father's will?
00:46:09Sure.
00:46:10I want to marry your daughter.
00:46:12It's been a misunderstanding.
00:46:13And I need you to smooth it over.
00:46:16Because, well, you're the only one your daughter looks up to.
00:46:20So what type of misunderstanding was this?
00:46:22I mean, why don't you just go to her and ask her forgiveness?
00:46:24I mean, my daughter doesn't hold grudges.
00:46:27I know my daughter.
00:46:28Well, that's between your daughter and I.
00:46:30I hope you understand.
00:46:31No, you see, I don't understand.
00:46:33Because you just made it my business by bringing it to me.
00:46:37Now tell me, was this a misunderstanding of a sexual nature?
00:46:41And was this misunderstanding non-consensual?
00:46:45As I said, this is between your daughter and I.
00:46:49I'm aware at all, so you all know what happens behind closed doors.
00:46:53Now you see, you are more than a twisted, rich prick.
00:46:57If you think you're going to pay me to hush my daughter.
00:46:59I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve, but I can tell you this.
00:47:12There's nothing compared to the wrath of an angry woman.
00:47:15Well...
00:47:15And you can best believe that if you did something bad to her, you'll pay for it.
00:47:22That I'll have to agree with.
00:47:24But how angry and heartbreaking would your daughter feel when she knows this is the first sweetener
00:47:29that you got from the Blackthorns?
00:47:32Sweetener?
00:47:32I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:34I'm not done, Miss Harris.
00:47:36I didn't just come to you because I was feeling sentimental about your relationship with your daughter.
00:47:41I came here to offer you more money and additional payment that you got for my father to introduce.
00:47:46Here you go.
00:47:47I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:49Spare me the bullshit.
00:47:51I've seen your signature in a public document.
00:47:53I just wonder how sane my father was when he changed the world.
00:47:57Best of my knowledge, only a minor would need a guardian signature.
00:48:01What do I know?
00:48:02That's not what happened.
00:48:05But I do know that in the court of law, a carer such as yourself taken advantage of a poor man's dying...
00:48:11What do you expect me to do, Jack?
00:48:14Hmm?
00:48:15Wave this magic wand and just miraculously have my daughter forgive you?
00:48:19I don't know about your walk, but in mine it doesn't work that way.
00:48:22It's a beautiful thing right now, isn't it?
00:48:24Maybe you should mention John or Anna Sui's name to your daughter.
00:48:27Maybe that will help.
00:48:28I'm sure you'd be more successful and a lot richer if you knew how to play your cards right.
00:48:32Maybe you might get the figginess of your daughter, I'm not sure, but that's up to you.
00:48:36So long, the Bellevier Hotel.
00:48:51Hi darling, how are you doing?
00:49:08Mum, I thought I wasn't seeing you to our lunch next week.
00:49:11Hmm, well I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd bring her some pizza.
00:49:16Oh, a little good room.
00:49:18Well, thank you for the pizza.
00:49:20Let's, um, let's have this right away.
00:49:22Pleasure.
00:49:22So, how have you been doing?
00:49:24You look really relaxed today.
00:49:27You, um...
00:49:28You haven't told me that my hair looks like a bird's nest or the baggy clothes I'm wearing are going to squeeze the air off.
00:49:35That's a serious look.
00:49:37Well, okay, so I can't even give you a compliment now and it's taken the opposite way.
00:49:42I can't even say nice things to you now.
00:49:44Rather tell me how is things with that blackthorn boy that you were smiling about the other day.
00:49:50Um, you and John?
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:51Um, we're no longer together and I honestly don't know if we ever were.
00:49:57Oh, okay.
00:49:58And what about the other one, um, I think it also starts with a J?
00:50:01Jack.
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:03His name's Jack.
00:50:03I remember.
00:50:04Jack.
00:50:05How's things with him last?
00:50:06I heard, uh, he was actually knowing your boss or something.
00:50:09Things between us, uh, how they should be.
00:50:12What does that mean?
00:50:13Is there something else going on?
00:50:14You know that you can talk to me, sweetie.
00:50:21It was, uh, an incident between me and Jack.
00:50:28He got physical.
00:50:30Were you guys drinking?
00:50:31No, mum.
00:50:32I wasn't drinking.
00:50:33Neither was he.
00:50:35Okay, I'm just asking.
00:50:37I mean, you know, what do you think is going to happen if you're alone with your boss?
00:50:41I mean, he's a handsome boy and you guys must be attracted to each other.
00:50:46What are you saying?
00:50:47That I wanted this?
00:50:48I didn't.
00:50:49I'm just saying you can use this to your advantage.
00:50:53I mean, things didn't work out with you and John.
00:50:55Why not just go with the other brother?
00:50:58That is so messed up.
00:51:00He tried to assault me.
00:51:02Can you hear yourself?
00:51:04I've just been through something really traumatic and I won't hear any more from you.
00:51:09I can't do this with you anymore, mum.
00:51:11Every time I think we're trying to bond, you just start making unreasonable demands and...
00:51:16Can you just please, please?
00:51:18Fine.
00:51:19Can you see?
00:51:20I can't go in.
00:51:22I can't do it.
00:51:23I can't secure it.
00:51:23Well, I can't be here.
00:51:24Alright.
00:51:25I can't.
00:51:26We'll close too.
00:51:27Agent Mobile and Beyonce have stepped down in Paris in a spiral.
00:51:43This is calling straight along the heels of the news that the deal with the Blackborn Corporation has finally been sealed.
00:51:48Blackborn, which I find her.
00:51:52The world in the photos engages someone else.
00:51:57Hey. Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:52:14You sounded desperate. It was the least I could do. I know what it feels like not to be heard.
00:52:20I'm sorry about that. I did that because I just wanted to lash out and hurt you the same way you hurt me.
00:52:32For the hundredth time, I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you please get straight to the point? Why do you want to see me now? It's been weeks since you slammed your door in my face.
00:52:42I wanted to apologize because I opted unfairly. I was shown pictures and a live video of you and a beautiful Asian woman.
00:52:54Who? Ella Sui? That's ridiculous. She's a client.
00:52:59I know that now, but at the time it seemed like you guys were much more than clients and...
00:53:05Look, trust me, I just saw you guys live.
00:53:08Who showed you those pictures and videos? Who wanted to tear us apart?
00:53:13It was Jack, wasn't it?
00:53:18Yes, it was Jack. He completely manipulated me. He had access to security footage and I completely fell for it.
00:53:28Oh, Eva.
00:53:30I just... I realized who she was after I saw a news segment of her and her fiancé.
00:53:37Oh.
00:53:38I'm here to apologize for the unkind way I treated you and I embarrassed you and...
00:53:45Can you please forgive me?
00:53:46I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you, John.
00:54:03Jack is a master manipulator.
00:54:07But I can't believe he got access to the security footage.
00:54:10I could sue for violation of privacy.
00:54:13I doubt the owners thought it through.
00:54:14I don't think so either, but Jack mentioned something about owing someone a favor.
00:54:20You must be so hurt.
00:54:23I'm sorry you were put in that position.
00:54:25Of course I forgive you.
00:54:28Why are you so kind to me?
00:54:31You should make me grovel. I deserve it.
00:54:34There's no point in that.
00:54:37We've wasted weeks already.
00:54:39I've missed you so much.
00:54:42I've missed you too.
00:54:44My lips are as soft as I remember.
00:54:54I've missed you too.
00:54:58Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:55:01Why did you happen?
00:55:02Did you see something?
00:55:04No, it's just...
00:55:04You were friendlier to him that day at the office.
00:55:08No, nothing happened except when he tried to force himself upon me.
00:55:14It was late.
00:55:15It was late.
00:55:15He did what?
00:55:17It's fine.
00:55:19He didn't rape me.
00:55:20That fucking asshole!
00:55:22That son of a bitch!
00:55:23I gotta fucking kill him!
00:55:24Don't make excuses for him.
00:55:28What he did was fucked up.
00:55:30What the fuck's going on here?
00:55:47What the fuck does it look like brother?
00:55:48What the fuck's going on here?
00:55:49My darling and I are just enjoying dinner together in our family home.
00:55:54Isn't that right, sweetheart?
00:55:56Yes, it is.
00:55:57The pasta is the best I've ever tasted in my life.
00:56:00Now, isn't that nice?
00:56:02Jack, surely you'd like to join us?
00:56:05Join you?
00:56:06No, thank you.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:09Your loss.
00:56:10It's good to see you both have reached each other again.
00:56:15How sweet.
00:56:17You must be thrilled.
00:56:19Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:56:22It only took us a short while to find each other and that's how you know it's real.
00:56:29Right, and you've been missing work because of your...
00:56:32lover.
00:56:35No.
00:56:40I've been missing work because my boss assaulted me.
00:56:44I had to resign.
00:56:46Or maybe HR hasn't mentioned that to you yet.
00:56:49Assault?
00:56:50You both know you seduce me.
00:56:53What assault?
00:56:54And HR?
00:56:56John, she's fucking lying.
00:56:59Can you repeat that please?
00:57:01Slower this time.
00:57:02I don't think I quite heard you the first time.
00:57:06She's a...
00:57:07Eva's only here because her mummy sold her off.
00:57:12You don't know mummy told you this.
00:57:14What the hell are you talking about?
00:57:16What do you mean she sold me off?
00:57:18You don't know.
00:57:21Mama Harris put an extra clause into the claim because she wanted more money.
00:57:27What, you think she's just going to kick her daughter off a social ladder?
00:57:31No, no, no.
00:57:32She was only to prove your father gave something in return.
00:57:35You're lying!
00:57:45Am I lying?
00:57:47Am I lying?
00:57:49Maybe you should ask for yourself.
00:57:51So the first time she's had Blackthorn money stuffed in her pockets,
00:57:57did she surprise you with a visit?
00:57:59Yeah, she did.
00:58:03So that was you who pushed it on me.
00:58:06My lips are sealed.
00:58:09When did you become such a terrible person, Jack?
00:58:13You're destroying the relationship between a mother and a daughter just to get what you want.
00:58:18She's already made her choice.
00:58:20Eva has chosen me just as I have chosen her.
00:58:24It's over, Jack.
00:58:26No, no.
00:58:29It's not over.
00:58:39Please say something.
00:58:40I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry we've put you through so much.
00:58:48You didn't ask for any of this.
00:58:50I'm sorry that your mother hasn't been honest with you.
00:58:54That revelation about her must have hurt so much.
00:58:56I wonder why she just pushed Jack's assault to me on the side.
00:59:05She just...
00:59:07She doesn't seem to care about the trauma I went through.
00:59:15She just told me, look on the bright side.
00:59:21It's crazy that she pushed Jack onto me after what he did.
00:59:26I've been so stupid.
00:59:32Don't say that.
00:59:34You're kind, smart, and good.
00:59:38And vulnerable to people trying to take advantage of you.
00:59:47What are you doing?
00:59:51Will you marry me?
00:59:56Will you marry me?
01:00:00Yes, yes, Jack, yes.
01:00:09Now we can finally put an end to all of this bullshit with my brother.
01:00:13I don't wait to see the look in his face when we tell him he's going to engage.
01:00:18He's going to be furious.
01:00:21Okay, but we have to tell the lawyer about what's happened.
01:00:27Yes.
01:00:29But first, we need to celebrate.
01:00:33You're going to be my lovely wife, Eva.
01:00:36Cheers to us.
01:00:37Cheers.
01:00:38What the heavenly fuck?
01:00:54We'll see about this.
01:00:57When can I see you?
01:00:58It's urgent.
01:01:00When are you available?
01:01:01Yes, it's about the will.
01:01:04I'll buy off as soon as I can.
01:01:07No, John doesn't need to know about this.
01:01:08It's none of his concern.
01:01:18You got yourself into this, and the only way out for you is to hold up your end of the bargain.
01:01:22My end of the bargain?
01:01:24You tampered with a contract, and now everything is messed up.
01:01:28My daughter won't even speak to me.
01:01:30You can't just...
01:01:35What was that? She just flew out of here.
01:01:38Um, that's confidential.
01:01:41Yeah, yeah, of course it is.
01:01:43Man, whoever that was, she was pissed.
01:01:45You said you had something to tell me.
01:01:46Something about the will?
01:01:48I have news.
01:01:49Please sit.
01:01:51This is going to blow everything up in the air.
01:01:53Yes, yes, I'm listening.
01:01:55I want to contest my father's will.
01:01:56What?
01:01:58Well, he signed it, and he was forced by Anna Harris.
01:02:00He's probably under duress.
01:02:02What?
01:02:02Well, until this gets cleared up, the will stands.
01:02:05If I have to sue John over it, so be it.
01:02:13Oh, Jack.
01:02:15That's so fucking funny.
01:02:18The contract your father signed with Anna Harris was not signed under duress.
01:02:22How can you be so sure of my private investor?
01:02:24Sure, because I was there when it was signed.
01:02:26It was your father's idea to begin with.
01:02:29But that's not possible.
01:02:32It can't be.
01:02:33But why would my father sign a contract?
01:02:35He knew Anna Harris wanted money for her incentive.
01:02:39But he also made sure she had a reason to stay involved even after the money was paid to her.
01:02:47What reason?
01:02:48Your father was a smart man, though not unkind.
01:02:52He didn't get so wealthy by being a pushover.
01:02:56He included a clause in the contract that stipulated that if Angeline did not marry one of his sons,
01:03:01Anna would have to repay the money.
01:03:04Let me guess, Anna didn't know about that before she signed?
01:03:06She did not.
01:03:08Foolishly, she did not read the file in print.
01:03:12Your father left an apology note and me to explain exactly why he did what he did.
01:03:17Jack Blackthorn, this is neither the time nor the place of that kind of language.
01:03:24Man, I was so close to getting this right.
01:03:28Why is my father always one step ahead?
01:03:30Even from the fucking grave?
01:03:33I understand you're upset, but if you had taken this to court,
01:03:35you would have been humiliated when he got thrown out.
01:03:38You did yourself a favor by coming to me first, son.
01:03:41I'm not your fucking son.
01:03:43You know what, this is all freaked from the side.
01:03:45You just want little Johnny Boy to win, huh?
01:03:48Guess what, I'm not going to give over and lay on my fucking grave.
01:04:10What are you doing here?
01:04:21Where's your daughter?
01:04:22Not here.
01:04:25I told you she's not here, are you deaf?
01:04:28Heron's perfectly fine, thank you very much.
01:04:31So this is where your daughter lives, in this shithole.
01:04:34Because they only show her fucking thanks for free money.
01:04:36Like mother, like daughter.
01:04:38Oh, excuse me.
01:04:40You can't come into my daughter's place and then throw insults around.
01:04:43What are you doing here anyway, you crazy?
01:04:45You need to get out or I'm pulling the cops.
01:04:47Funny for you, you're not even supposed to be here.
01:04:50I'm her mother.
01:04:51I have a key.
01:04:54It was you at the Lawyers Office family, wasn't it?
01:04:57You need to get out.
01:05:01Can you fuck things up with your daughter, eh?
01:05:02I would have had the upper hand.
01:05:03Oh, excuse me.
01:05:04If you weren't such a sleazy, creepy son of a bitch,
01:05:08you may have stood a chance with her.
01:05:10You dirty goldy, like your dirty daughter, eh?
01:05:12I guess that's what you're looking for too far from the train of the buzzer.
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:22Hannah, what the fuck?
01:05:23Say something.
01:05:27What are you saying?
01:05:28Hey, help.
01:05:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:33Hannah, don't you, don't you go dying on me?
01:05:41Ah, there's a woman that she's, she's unconscious, she's suddenly fell.
01:05:49I don't know anything about medication.
01:05:51Don't you...
01:05:52Just keep going.
01:06:03Just... just... just need a head.
01:06:04Pick up that fucking fucking junkie pop.
01:06:05I'm talking fucking fucking fuck, fuck.
01:06:10Okay?
01:06:11Fuck.
01:06:12Fuck.
01:06:14Fuck.
01:06:14Fuck.
01:06:15Fuck.
01:06:16Fuck.
01:06:16Fuck.
01:06:17Fuck.
01:06:17Fuck.
01:06:17Fuck.
01:06:18Fuck.
01:06:18Fuck.
01:06:19Fuck.
01:06:19Fuck.
01:06:20Fuck.
01:06:20Fuck.
01:06:21Fuck.
01:06:21Fuck.
01:06:51I'm telling you, I miss this place.
01:06:55I feel like I was small, but I was independent and happy here.
01:07:00Don't get too comfy.
01:07:02We're only here to pick up your things.
01:07:05You're going to love living in the mansion.
01:07:09That's weird.
01:07:12What's weird?
01:07:13Something feels off.
01:07:16I don't know, the apartment seems cleaner than I remember.
01:07:18Maybe your mother came by.
01:07:22You mentioned she had a key.
01:07:23Yeah, I did.
01:07:24Anna hated this place.
01:07:26Cleaning is the last thing she'd do here.
01:07:28Maybe you just left it cleaner than you remember.
01:07:35I'd like to bring some of my foodware.
01:07:37They're not sophisticated, but I like them.
01:07:42What about your toiletries?
01:07:44Good idea.
01:07:45Hey, I just need to pack my things from the bathroom.
01:07:57Hey, Eva.
01:07:58I need to go.
01:08:01Wait.
01:08:02What?
01:08:02Why?
01:08:04I've been ignoring Jack's calls, but he just sent me a message saying there's been an emergency.
01:08:09I need to go meet him.
01:08:10I hope he's okay and still be your brother or not.
01:08:14I'm sure he's fine.
01:08:15It's probably just a flat tire or something.
01:08:18I'll be back ASAP.
01:08:20Don't stay to me, okay?
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:21I'll be back.
01:08:46Let's move.
01:08:48I can't do it.
01:08:53Yes.
01:09:00That's...
01:09:03You.
01:09:06You sent one a message.
01:09:08Yes, I did.
01:09:10What are you doing?
01:09:12Where did you come from?
01:09:14Is this one of your games you're playing yet?
01:09:16Give me that! That's Mum's!
01:09:18I'll take that, thank you.
01:09:22You didn't answer my question.
01:09:24What are you doing inside my apartment?
01:09:27I saw a muck and I just walked in.
01:09:29That's impossible.
01:09:31I would have heard you.
01:09:32Why did you text John about an emergency when you were already coming here yourself?
01:09:36What are you trying to imply that I broke into your house or I lied to my brother?
01:09:41I'm not trying to imply anything.
01:09:43That something isn't adding up when calling John.
01:09:46Why, Eva? You can trust me.
01:09:49We're going to be family after all.
01:09:51Why did you know about an engagement?
01:09:53Maybe John told me.
01:09:55No, we didn't.
01:09:59Let go of me!
01:10:01Stop it, bitch. Listen.
01:10:02No!
01:10:03Listen!
01:10:04No!
01:10:05No!
01:10:06No!
01:10:07Don't say anything.
01:10:08Keep your mouth shut.
01:10:09Hello, brother.
01:10:22No, I don't know where she is.
01:10:24That mistake was a mistake.
01:10:26Well, I'm out of town right now.
01:10:34Sorry I had something in my throat.
01:10:36Well, wherever she is, I'm sure she'll be home soon.
01:10:39Hmm.
01:10:40What do you want?
01:10:41Why are you doing this?
01:10:42I haven't figured that one out yet.
01:10:43Well, I do know he's not my brother doing anything for you.
01:10:44Maybe I want to see him suffer.
01:10:45What did you do with Anna?
01:10:46Stop it!
01:10:47Fucking stupid questions!
01:10:48You be a good little girl now.
01:10:49Don't fucking move up.
01:10:50Pull a bullet in your head!
01:10:51Okay.
01:10:52What?
01:10:53What do you want?
01:10:54What do you want?
01:10:55Why are you doing this?
01:10:56Why are you doing this?
01:10:57I figured that one out yet.
01:10:58Well, I do know he's not my brother doing anything for you.
01:10:59Maybe I want to see him suffer.
01:11:00What did you do with Anna?
01:11:01Stop it!
01:11:02Fucking stupid questions!
01:11:03You be a good little girl now.
01:11:12Don't fucking move up.
01:11:13Pull a bullet in your head!
01:11:14I win.
01:11:15I won't say anything.
01:11:17Maybe I'll be fucking serious.
01:11:20Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
01:11:23Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
01:11:26Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I'll send you to meet your mother.
01:11:31What did you just say?
01:11:33What about my mother?
01:11:35Oops.
01:11:36Did I say something?
01:11:38Hey!
01:11:39Do you know the driver car?
01:11:41Get in the driver seat now.
01:11:43Yes, I understand.
01:11:44But this is an emergency.
01:11:45Mr. Blackthorn would appreciate it if the matter was dealt with urgently.
01:11:58I understand.
01:12:00Is there any news yet?
01:12:01I'm afraid not.
01:12:02The commissioner insists that we have to wait at least 48 hours before we can declare
01:12:03her missing.
01:12:04Damn it.
01:12:05It's the same thing they told me.
01:12:06Can't they even pretend to care?
01:12:07I'll get Troy calling Jack again.
01:12:08He isn't answering.
01:12:09I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:12:11First he sends me those cryptic text messages and now he's not answering my calls.
01:12:16Maybe he'll answer yours.
01:12:17I doubt it, but you can try just in case.
01:12:18This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day.
01:12:19I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:12:20Can't they even pretend to care?
01:12:21I'll get Troy calling Jack again.
01:12:22He isn't answering.
01:12:23I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:12:25First he sends me those cryptic text messages and now he's not answering my calls.
01:12:30Maybe he'll answer yours.
01:12:32I doubt it, but you can try just in case.
01:12:43This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day.
01:12:47He wanted to contest your father's will.
01:12:50He was ready to sue you.
01:12:53What?
01:12:54What do you mean he was ready to sue me?
01:12:57He believed Anna tricked your father into giving her money.
01:13:00And he wanted to prove that that may have impacted the world.
01:13:04That's preposterous.
01:13:06Why wasn't I told about this earlier?
01:13:08I didn't think it was important because I clarified to Jack that he was misguided.
01:13:11I should have been informed immediately.
01:13:13You're meant to be impartial, remember?
01:13:25Hello, Johnny boy.
01:13:26Frankie.
01:13:27What a great evening this is tonight, isn't it?
01:13:30Jack.
01:13:31You're so surprised, are you?
01:13:33Bet you didn't see this one coming out, did ya?
01:13:35Huh?
01:13:36Keeping where I can see him now.
01:13:38You don't have to do this, Jack.
01:13:40Nah, I guess.
01:13:41I've done something really stupid.
01:13:43I can't take it back now.
01:13:45What did you do?
01:13:47We can work this out, just the two of us.
01:13:49You did something to my mother.
01:13:51Isn't that right, Jack?
01:13:52Shut up, you know what I'm talking about!
01:13:54I found Anna's earring in my apartment, and then he threatened to shoot me!
01:14:03No, no, no, no.
01:14:04It's...
01:14:05It's an act you learned, but...
01:14:07How do you mean to die?
01:14:08How do you mean to kill her?
01:14:09No!
01:14:10No!
01:14:11No!
01:14:16It's okay.
01:14:17Like you said, it was just an accident.
01:14:20We can work this out together.
01:14:22I'm sorry, man.
01:14:23I didn't mean to come this way.
01:14:25I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
01:14:27It's okay, brother.
01:14:29We can work this out, just the two of us, before all this craziness happened.
01:14:33No, it's not again!
01:14:34You mad at my mother!
01:14:35Eva, no!
01:14:36No, it's not again!
01:14:37You mad at my mother!
01:14:38Eva, no!
01:14:39Eva, no!
