00:05:02Everybody shut the hell up, please
00:05:05What the fuck happened?
00:05:06Sir a gentleman arrived early this morning. He is clearing out the card tables
00:05:13He's currently at the blackjack table. He is cheating
00:05:18We just don't know how he's up 750k
00:05:22Is it one of the dealers?
00:05:24No, no way every table has a different dealer
00:05:27He isn't cheating
00:05:29What he isn't cheating he's counting cards
00:05:32Impossible, he started with half a million in chips and card counters target only one game
00:05:39Yeah, exactly
00:05:41He's not counting to win
00:05:43He's counting to crash you
00:05:44That would ruin the hotel's reputation
00:05:47No high rollers would come here again
00:05:49Give me 10k
00:05:50What?

00:06:56Fuck
00:06:58I bet that he has a benefactor who fronted him all the money
00:07:03Okay, find out whatever you can about him, please
00:07:07I want a full report by Monday
00:07:08Yes, sir
00:07:14Look, you're obviously being targeted
00:07:16Do you know anybody who would want to hurt your business or?
00:07:20I have a few ideas
00:07:21What are we doing here?
00:07:30Eating
00:07:34Yeah
00:07:35Thank you
00:07:35But you know what I mean, okay?
00:07:39You could have taken me anywhere
00:07:41Why would you bring me to a place like this?
00:07:43To thank you
00:07:44To thank you
00:07:44So be grateful and order something
00:07:49Look, what you did back there was very, very impressive
00:07:54Where did you acquire such a unique set of skills?
00:07:57Um
00:07:58I mean
00:07:59It was me and my mom
00:08:02And we managed
00:08:04Until she got sick
00:08:04After that, I had to find a way to survive on my own
00:08:11And then when she went to the hospital full time
00:08:13Can't really do that from foster care, so
00:08:16How is your mom now?
00:08:19She passed
00:08:20Last year
00:08:21I'm sorry
00:08:23And you've been
00:08:25Homeless ever since then?
00:08:29Off and on
00:08:30I mean, I got my GED, but it's kind of hard to get a job when you don't have an address
00:08:35Or a phone
00:08:36Oh my goodness, Nathan!
00:08:38Shit
00:08:39Hey, just follow my lead, okay?
00:08:42Nathan, I always try to drag you away from work at this time of day, but you always turn me down
00:08:49Hello, Jane
00:08:51An emergency at work got resolved
00:08:53Quicker than I thought so
00:08:55Lil and I here are celebrating
00:08:59How wonderful
00:09:02But it looks bad to be out with another woman at the same restaurant as your fiance
00:09:09Lil, was it?
00:09:10I'm Jane Lockhart, Nathan's fiancée
00:09:13Heather?
00:09:14Mm-hmm
00:09:15Pleasure
00:09:17Uh, Lil and I were just about to eat, so I'll talk to you later
00:09:22Fine
00:09:22Call me when you get home
00:09:28What?
00:09:29You're gonna become a workaholic after you marry her
00:09:31Why is that?
00:09:33You're gonna find any excuse you can to never go home again
00:09:36It's a family thing, it will never happen
00:09:41What?
00:09:41Me marrying her?
00:09:44Well, I bet she's still in her family, it'll happen any day now, so
00:09:49Lil, I want you to work for me
00:09:52What?
00:09:52I want you to work for me
00:09:57I'm offering you a job
00:09:58But why?
00:09:59Because you need a job
00:10:01And I'll know how best to use your unique talents
00:10:06Okay, well, I'm not a fan of being someone's project
00:10:10No, I doubt I'll be able to make you do anything you don't want to do
00:10:14Okay, well, what would my job title be?
00:10:20My personal assistant
00:10:23What?
00:10:25Yeah, what about
00:10:28Elite administrative liaison
00:10:33Okay, that's just a fancy way of saying personal assistant
00:10:39And you can stay with me until you find a place here
00:10:41Deal
00:10:46Okay, deal
00:10:53You're back early
00:10:54Oh, son of a bitch, you scared me
00:10:56Tell me you didn't fuck it up
00:11:00Did you bankrupt the casino?
00:11:02I nearly did
00:11:04Nearly?
00:11:04But on the last hand, they must have switched out the decks or something
00:11:08Because I lost
00:11:08How much?
00:11:13All of it
00:11:15Are you telling me that you lost all of the money that I gave you?
00:11:18It wasn't my fault
00:11:19There was this girl
00:11:23What girl?
00:11:28Mr. Sterling, here are the documents you asked for
00:11:30Thank you
00:11:31And your call to the commissioner has been confirmed for three o'clock
00:11:34Great
00:11:36Would you mind taking a little to HR and get her sorted?
00:11:39On it
00:11:47Take a seat here and Mr. Sterling will call when he needs you
00:11:52Glad to have you on board
00:11:53Fresh face
00:12:01You new?
00:12:02Yeah, how'd you guess?
00:12:04Well, I already know the names of all the pretty girls around here
00:12:07I'm Joanne
00:12:08Will
00:12:10You look familiar, Will. Have I seen it?
00:12:12What are you doing here?
00:12:14Just stopped by to check out the new merchandise
00:12:17My brother
00:12:18Can't take a joke any more than you can take a day off
00:12:19Brother?
00:12:21Half brother
00:12:22We can talk in my office so you don't continue harassing my employees
00:12:26If you need anything
00:12:27I'm your guy
00:12:32Mr. Sterling
00:12:33I think our business will be able to help your brand expand globally
00:12:44I'll let you know
00:12:45Uh, thank you for coming in
00:12:47Who the hell do you think you are?
00:12:57Excuse me?
00:12:57I asked who the fuck you think you are
00:13:01You just cost me a five million dollar deal
00:13:04I think you cost yourself a deal when you filed for bankruptcy
00:13:07and then stole your subordinates ideas to pass them off as your own
00:13:10I never did that
00:13:11A simple internet search showed me otherwise
00:13:14You know, I just think being partners would be a bad business strategy
00:13:20I couldn't agree more
00:13:22Mr. Sterling
00:13:23We wouldn't want to add browbeating and assistance to your list of grievances
00:13:27Would we?
00:13:30Fuck you
00:13:30Nice work
00:13:37You have a gift of seeing through people's bullshit
00:13:41Thank you, Mr. Sterling
00:13:44Call me Nathan

00:20:11um well before my mom got sick she used to work at this luxury jewelry store and she
00:20:16taught me everything she knew about gemstones so how the real ones would reflect light in a
00:20:21certain way so a real ruby glows dark red fake one throws a rainbow light

00:21:26I'm going to head to bed.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:30Good night.
00:21:38My brother somehow knew those rubies were fake.
00:21:44But how?
00:21:45I didn't switch them until after they were authenticated.
00:21:49We need to come up with 50 million dollars by the end of this week.
00:21:52It's time we cleaned up our mess at the casino.
00:21:56And this time, no slip-ups.
00:22:04Mr. Sterling, Mason sent over the security footage.
00:22:15Who is this guy?
00:22:20Wait a minute.
00:22:22This is the same guy that was counting cards in the casino a week ago.
00:22:29What a coincidence.
00:22:32Or not.
00:22:33Funny, yeah.
00:22:34Shouldn't you be pestering your brother, or...
00:22:37No, I, uh, actually came here to see you.
00:22:40Me?
00:22:41Wanted to see if you had plans for today.
00:22:43I'll take you somewhere.
00:22:45Where?
00:22:46I can't tell you that.
00:22:48We're in a surprise.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:51Unlike my brother, I know how to have fun.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56Fine.
00:22:57Let's go.
00:22:57Julian, why here?
00:23:13What's this about?
00:23:15Been here before?
00:23:16Nathan's Casino?
00:23:18Yeah, he brought me here once.
00:23:20Doesn't sound like he showed you a good time.
00:23:23Let's correct that.
00:23:23Shit.
00:23:43Poker, you just want to watch me win?
00:23:47No.
00:23:47I don't gamble.
00:23:49Oh, don't be a party pooper.
00:23:50I'll gladly watch you play.
00:23:54What's at this blackjack table?
00:23:56Is that the one where you have to get as close as you can to 21?
00:23:59Yes, without going over.
00:24:01Okay.
00:24:01Let's play.
00:24:06Sir?
00:24:07They found your brother.
00:24:09He's at the blackjack table.
00:24:10Okay, tell them to keep eyes on my brother, but if he touches her, shut it down.
00:24:14Yes, sir.
00:24:15You need to come with me every time I play.
00:24:18Hello, a good luck charm.
00:24:23She won't.
00:24:25Everything's always changing, Nathan.
00:24:26Maybe she'll realize that she deserves better.
00:24:30How about we play?
00:24:31For her.
00:24:36What?
00:24:38We make things interesting.
00:24:40We play.
00:24:42Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:24:43What do you say?
00:24:47Not brave enough to take the risk.
00:24:51What is she worth to you, Nathan?
00:24:54Half a million?
00:24:56All right, don't even think about that.
00:24:57Are you kidding?
00:24:58Half a million?
00:24:59Please.
00:25:00Nathan knows I'm worth at least ten times more than that.
00:25:03Lil, what are you doing?
00:25:06Uh, five million?
00:25:07Yeah, you want Mr. Sterling to take your bets seriously.
00:25:15Yeah, and after last night, he probably doesn't even have five million.
00:25:20Unless he wants to put up his shares in Sterling Corp as collateral.
00:25:27Fine.
00:25:28My share is against five million dollars.
00:25:31Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:25:34Agreed?
00:25:34What are you doing?
00:25:43If I lose, you have to go with him.
00:25:46This isn't the game.
00:25:48What?
00:25:49This is the distraction.
00:25:51This isn't the real game.
00:25:52He's moving something while you're stuck here.
00:25:58We'll find out soon enough.
00:26:00Hey, what are you doing?
00:26:15Looks like your little pet doesn't want you to win.
00:26:17Just fold, bro.
00:26:19Call it mercy.
00:26:20I'll be right back.
00:26:21Don't miss me too much.
00:26:23Aw.
00:26:24It's like you've already lost her.
00:26:25Will must be worth five million in the sack.
00:26:38Otherwise, why would you be playing?
00:26:40Come on, you can tell me.
00:26:41I'll find out tonight anyway.
00:26:43It'll never happen.
00:26:44You just want her because she's mine.
00:26:47Yours.
00:26:48She's not a prize, Julian.
00:26:50She's with me because she chose it.
00:26:52I doubt she'd see it that way.
00:26:54What do you mean?
00:26:54She's not stupid.
00:26:56She works for you.
00:26:57You're a little worker bee.
00:26:58The most you could ever hope for is to be your plaything.
00:27:01And you and I both know how quickly you get bored.
00:27:04She's better off with me.
00:27:05Saves her the heartbreak.
00:27:06Saves you the guilt.
00:27:15Gotcha.
00:27:16Gotcha.
00:27:24Is this still going on, or?
00:27:36Uh, yeah.
00:27:38Typical.
00:27:39I leave for five minutes.
00:27:41Meanwhile, you guys are still in the middle of your dick measuring contest.
00:27:44Can we hurry this along?
00:27:46I'm getting bored.
00:27:47We're in the middle of a game.
00:27:49She's right.
00:27:51Let's finish this.
00:27:53What are you doing?
00:27:55I'm just keeping things interesting for Lil.
00:27:58About time?
00:28:05Whoa!
00:28:07You know what?
00:28:08Let's just go blind all in.
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:24Wait, wait.
00:28:27What does that mean?
00:28:29That right there means I won.
00:28:32So, Julian, you can have your shares transferred by end of the day tomorrow.
00:28:37Okay?
00:28:44I want you to know, no one touches what's mine.
00:28:49Win or lose.
00:28:51Look, I just thought I was a pretty face.
00:28:53Who couldn't tell hearts from diamonds?
00:29:02Tell me again how you lost that security card.
00:29:05Please, sir.
00:29:05It's like I told you.
00:29:06I had it in my hand.
00:29:08I put it in my pocket, but when I got outside, it was gone.
00:29:10Did you drop it?
00:29:11I don't know.
00:29:14How the fuck are we supposed to get into that vault now?
00:29:17Do you know what Darren Wolfe's going to do to us?
00:29:20What?
00:29:21Mr. Rhodes.
00:29:22I told you I'm busy.
00:29:23Your brother is here.
00:29:24He's very insistent on seeing you.
00:29:26Fine.
00:29:35Julian.
00:29:35Nathan.
00:29:36Now's not a good time.
00:29:38I'm sorry to hear that.
00:29:40I figured I'd swing by, save you the time to have you sign that.
00:29:45It's the shares you lost to me.
00:29:46Uh, I'd have to look it over.
00:29:52Maybe we can come back.
00:29:53Read it.
00:29:55Now.
00:29:57We've got time.
00:29:59I can wait.
00:30:00Okay.
00:30:00You know what?
00:30:12I really should have my lawyer look this over.
00:30:14I got you.
00:30:14I got you.
00:30:14Call him.
00:30:16Your brother's not the only one you should be afraid of, Julian.
00:30:29Your brother's not the only one you should be afraid of, Julian.
00:30:43Mr. Wolfe.
00:30:45There's been a slight hiccup.
00:30:47You guys couldn't handle the simple tasks I gave you?
00:30:53Sir, please.
00:30:54Your brother's business is thriving.
00:30:57And you're costing me time and money.
00:31:00Just listen to me.
00:31:01My brother has a weakness now.
00:31:03He didn't have one before.
00:31:04Weakness?
00:31:05What weakness?
00:31:06His assistant.
00:31:07Uh, he cares about her.
00:31:09He wants to protect her.
00:31:10And that's how you get him to do what you want.
00:31:15You really think I'd kill you in such an obvious place, you stupid fucks?
00:31:22Lucky for both of you, you've got some time to fix your little screw-ups.
00:31:28Now, what's the assistant's name?
00:31:34I'm still impressed.
00:31:36Should be.
00:31:39Nathan, darling.
00:31:41And what are you doing here in Nathan's house?
00:31:44Hey, hey, cool it, please.
00:31:46She's just staying.
00:31:48I'm leaving.
00:31:49Will.
00:31:50Let's get started.
00:31:54Let her go, Nathan.
00:31:56She's a nobody anyway.
00:31:58What are you doing here?
00:31:59I missed you.
00:32:00I thought we could have dinner, you know?
00:32:03Since we are getting married.
00:32:06Jane, Jane.
00:32:08Our families want this wedding, but I don't.
00:32:11What?
00:32:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:13You just need more time.
00:32:15No, no, I don't need more time.
00:32:18It's because of her, isn't it?
00:32:21You had no problem with marrying me, but she showed up.
00:32:26Look, I'm sorry.
00:32:29I'll tell our families.
00:32:30Nathan, please.
00:32:31We're done, Jane.
00:32:33No engagement, no future.
00:32:39Well, you bitch.
00:32:41Once you're gone, Nathan will be all mine.
00:32:44Well, well, look who's back.
00:33:01I told you, I'll get you back, bitch.
00:33:05No one to protect you now.
00:33:06You think just because you're dressed in nice clothes, that makes you better than us?
00:33:12You are from the streets, just like me.
00:33:16You know, there are a few people out there willing to pay big bucks.
00:33:22Julian Rhodes, I suppose?
00:33:23Yep.
00:33:24I could turn you over to him, too.
00:33:28He can't pay you.
00:33:29He's broke.
00:33:33There's someone else looking for you, too.
00:33:36A gangster.
00:33:38It's...
00:33:38Hey!
00:33:39Stop!
00:33:40Stop!
00:33:41Stop!
00:33:41Stop!
00:33:41Stop!
00:33:42Stop!
00:33:42You think you could come after her?
00:33:44No!
00:33:45Someone else is looking for her.
00:33:46Someone else wants her back.
00:33:48You tell him this is war.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:58Huh?
00:34:04Come on, God.
00:34:05I heard about what happened.
00:34:06Are you guys all right?
00:34:07Bit shaken, but you're fine.
00:34:10Okay?
00:34:11All right.
00:34:12I'll make you some tea.
00:34:13Thanks.
00:34:19Hey.
00:34:20You're bleeding.
00:34:22That's fine.
00:34:23It doesn't hurt.
00:34:26Uh, Jerome?
00:34:26Yes?
00:34:27Can we get first aid kit?
00:34:28What?
00:34:29What, are you gonna fix me up, little mouse?
00:34:33Only if you don't whine about it like a baby.
00:34:37Hmm.
00:34:42Nathan.
00:34:44You know, you seem to get into a lot of trouble.
00:34:48Trouble seems to follow me.
00:34:50Well, what am I supposed to do about that?
00:34:52I don't know.
00:34:53Survive it?
00:34:55I don't think I could survive without your trouble anymore.
00:35:01And one for you.
00:35:03And one for you.
00:35:05Thanks.
00:35:06Thanks, Jerome.
00:35:08Weren't those the same guys that were coming after you the night we met?
00:35:11Yeah.
00:35:13It's weird.
00:35:14The leader, whoever he was, said someone was coming after you.
00:35:18Who, Julian?
00:35:19I told him that he doesn't have the funds to pay him.
00:35:21No, it wasn't Julian.
00:35:22It was the notorious gangster Darren Wolf.
00:35:27Who?
00:35:30What's wrong?
00:35:32You said Darren Wolf was looking for me?
00:35:34Yeah, he's a mobster that's been trying to infiltrate my casino visit.
00:35:40Lil!
00:35:45Hey, what is going on?
00:35:47Nathan, I have to go.
00:35:48Every second that I'm here, the more danger that you're in.
00:35:50What do you mean?
00:35:51Nathan, let me go.
00:35:52No, not until you tell me what is going on.
00:35:55Okay?
00:35:56What would Darren Wolf want with you anyway?
00:35:58It's my father.
00:35:59What are you talking about?
00:36:04Did your mother even know?
00:36:05No!
00:36:06Just no.
00:36:07Not for a long time.
00:36:09His scams got bigger and bigger.
00:36:11And then when he tried to convince her to rob the jewelry store that she worked at,
00:36:15she took me and we disappeared.
00:36:18I mean, she knew that he was trying to find us, but we moved around a lot.
00:36:22Until she got too sick.
00:36:23What would he want with you now?
00:36:27Whatever it is, it'll be criminal.
00:36:30And it'll have something to do with your business.
00:36:32Which is why I have to leave.
00:36:33No, no.
00:36:35Hey.
00:36:36I can protect you.
00:36:38Nathan.
00:36:38Do you trust me?
00:36:41Yeah, of course I do.
00:36:45No, you're engaged to Jane.
00:36:47No, I'm not.
00:36:49I told her tonight.
00:36:50It's done.
00:36:51It's over.
00:36:51Officially.
00:36:53You did?
00:36:55Yeah.
00:36:56Will, I was never going to marry her.
00:36:59Especially after meeting you.
00:37:07My little mouse.
00:37:10You turned my life upside down.
00:37:12No.
00:37:21What are we going to do about my father?
00:37:32I'm going to let anything happen to you.
00:37:41Nathan, we need a plan.
00:37:46I have a plan.
00:37:52Okay, good.
00:37:53No, no.
00:37:55Then we're going to be late for work.
00:37:56No way.
00:37:57We're taking a personal day.
00:38:00How personal?
00:38:02Very, very personal.
00:38:10Yes, of course the engagement's still on.
00:38:13Nathan's just been really busy at work lately.
00:38:17He'll call.
00:38:20Of course he will.
00:38:21We're really looking forward to dinner.
00:38:23I'll check with him and confirm.
00:38:26Bye.
00:38:28Long time no see, Jane.
00:38:30You know, eavesdropping really is a nasty habit, but I have to admit, that phone call was priceless.
00:38:39What is it to you?
00:38:40Must sting that Nathan chose Lil over you.
00:38:43Nathan and I will be together.
00:38:45She's nothing.
00:38:46A face.
00:38:47Keep telling yourself that, babe.
00:38:49But you and I both know the truth.
00:38:51He prefers a lowly assistant.
00:38:55Easy.
00:38:56You don't want to slap the only person who knows how to actually ruin her.
00:39:03You said you had a plan.
00:39:05It's all here.
00:39:07Let me see.
00:39:12She was homeless?
00:39:14Imagine the shitstorm that's going to hit Nathan when this goes public.
00:39:17Are you even going to still want him after he's broke?
00:39:23What if I didn't just take down his empire?
00:39:27I took you, too.
00:39:33That bitch goes down, too.
00:39:35Your wish is not good.
00:39:43Hey, Lil.
00:39:43Look, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.
00:39:47Too fast.
00:39:49Now I have a look at this.
00:39:52What would Nathan say if he knew that you were on the streets before you had this job?
00:39:56He already knows, dumbass.
00:39:59Before he got out that he was sleeping with a homeless con artist?
00:40:03Investors would bolt.
00:40:04Help me.
00:40:07Or Nathan's going to toss you out on the street like trash.
00:40:11I'd at least keep you around.
00:40:1424 hours long.
00:40:15Disappointing.
00:40:33You know, at least my PI found out he used to hack arcade machines.
00:40:37Okay.
00:40:38I didn't hack anything.
00:40:40I simply just found a way to win to where the machine would redistribute the quarters.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:46So he didn't even bring out the big guns yet, huh?
00:40:49No, he's not desperate enough yet.
00:40:52So, should I tell him to shove it, or do you want to?
00:40:55Let me do the honors.
00:41:01I don't want anyone to tarnish my lady's name.
00:41:05Right?
00:41:05Mm-hmm.
00:41:09Mr. Sterling.
00:41:10Not now.
00:41:11Please.
00:41:16I truly hope you're coming to a winning side, Lil.
00:41:19We could use...
00:41:20You were saying?
00:41:23I was looking for...
00:41:25Yeah, she's not here.
00:41:27Nathan, I, uh...
00:41:28Left something last time you were here.
00:41:30Stay away from Lil.
00:41:33I won't ask nicely next time.
00:41:36I'll invest in a better PI next time.
00:41:38That report was pathetic.
00:41:52Get in.
00:41:54Darling.
00:41:55We can't have our long overdue reunion out here.
00:41:59Now can we?
00:42:00Why not?
00:42:01It's as good a place as any.
00:42:03Look, I just want to talk.
00:42:05I know I made mistakes with you.
00:42:07Lil luck.
00:42:08Don't call me that.
00:42:10Come on.
00:42:11Just get in the car, please.
00:42:13For all time's sake.
00:42:14Well, you've changed, but those eyes, just like your mother's.
00:42:35Don't ever bring her up.
00:42:36Don't ever bring her up.
00:42:38I know I should have done things differently.
00:42:41But now that I've found you again, it's time for you to become the person you were always meant to be.
00:42:48My right hand, partner in name, air in truth.
00:42:55It was always supposed to be you, Lil.
00:42:58And if you don't, I'll ruin him.
00:43:04Nathan Sterling.
00:43:06I can destroy everything he's built.
00:43:10But join me, and he'll be protected.
00:43:13His entire enterprise will be untouchable.
00:43:17It's all up to you now, Lil.
00:43:18You know, I need time to think about all of it.
00:43:24Of course.
00:43:25But don't take too long.
00:43:28Julian is out for blood.
00:43:30And I'm the only one that can protect Nathan.
00:43:35Now take this.
00:43:38And call me when you've decided.
00:43:40What would mom think about you threatening the man that I love like this?
00:43:44Your mother ran.
00:43:46You survived because I taught you better.
00:43:49And Nathan, he will protect you.
00:43:52Not a man like that.
00:43:54Never.
00:43:55You're wrong.
00:44:00What do I do?
00:44:05I have to protect Nathan.
00:44:14What are you doing?
00:44:15I'm attempting to cook.
00:44:17Shit.
00:44:18Why is Jerome always off when I need him?
00:44:22You all right?
00:44:24What's wrong?
00:44:26I, um, I'm just scared.
00:44:29I hate not knowing what's going to happen next.
00:44:32You have nothing to worry about.
00:44:35Okay?
00:44:36I'll protect you.
00:44:38All right?
00:44:38Okay.
00:44:38I can't let my father hurt you.
00:44:45Even if it means losing you.
00:44:46I can't let my father hurt you.
00:44:46I can't let my father hurt you.
00:44:46You're right.
00:44:59I can't let my father hurt you.
00:45:02I can't let your father hurt you.
00:45:16No. As long as you promise not to hurt Nathan, we're his business. Forever.
00:45:22You have my word.
00:45:25Okay. I'm ready.
00:45:27Just like old times, kiddo. I'm coming to get you.
00:45:46I'm coming to get you.
00:46:16Julian, you need to know that Nathan is now untouchable.
00:46:22You swore to me that you...
00:46:23Yeah, I know. But Nathan's safety was Lil's non-negotiable condition.
00:46:27I don't care. I want my brother destroyed and dead.
00:46:31Julian, you've always underestimated me. And now, you're gonna regret it. Twice.
00:46:37You bitch.
00:46:39Julian, my word is final. You cross that line again, and I'll bury you myself.
00:46:46Hello?
00:46:50Get over to Nathan's place now.
00:46:52I thought you said we weren't gonna make our move until next week.
00:46:54We have to start now. I'll explain later.
00:46:56Fine.
00:47:00Taren Wolf thinks he can double-cross me.
00:47:03Just made the biggest mistake of his life.
00:47:05Lil?
00:47:21Lil?
00:47:24Lil!
00:47:25Oh, Nathan. I'm sorry we fought. Please forgive me.
00:47:35What are you doing here?
00:47:37I heard that Lil left and thought you could use a friend.
00:47:41How do you know she left?
00:47:44Well, Julian said he saw her with an older man.
00:47:47I think she found a new sugar daddy.
00:47:49No, she wouldn't just leave. And you knew exactly when she did.
00:47:57Nathan, honey, what else do you expect from a person from the streets like her?
00:48:03Get out.
00:48:04But-
00:48:04Get out before I forget I was ever nice to you.
00:48:08Do it. It's time to teach them both a lesson.
00:48:22Hey, Lil. So glad I found you. Your father's looking for you.
00:48:25Oh, I'll just leave you alone.
00:48:27Hey, let me go!
00:48:28Get a comfortable second in command.
00:48:38Nathan always wins.
00:48:40I'm just making sure that you're the reason he finally loses.
00:48:43My father won't help you.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46Yes, he will.
00:48:48Unless he wants to lose his daughter a little more permanently this time.
00:48:50No.
00:48:50No.
00:48:58I thought it was time for you and I to meet face to face.
00:49:04I don't do business with criminals.
00:49:06You just let other people do your business for you.
00:49:09Like my daughter.
00:49:09She isn't a criminal.
00:49:11She is what I made her.
00:49:12She is who she is despite of you.
00:49:15Either way, Sterling, my daughter is back where she belongs.
00:49:18With me.
00:49:19You mean you blackmailed her into going back?
00:49:21You should be thankful to my daughter.
00:49:23Because of her, you no longer have to fear me or my operations.
00:49:27You don't get it, do you?
00:49:28I love her and I would willingly give up everything I have for her.
00:49:33Could you do the same?
00:49:39I didn't think so.
00:49:41You only want Lil because of what she can do for you and your underground activities.
00:49:46Think what you want.
00:49:47I just came here to tell you that I plan to honor my daughter's wishes.
00:49:50Look, Lil, she's the most important person in the world to the both of us, right?
00:49:57And who else knows that?
00:49:59Who else would be willing to use that information to manipulate you?
00:50:03Julian wouldn't dare cross me.
00:50:05Plus, he wouldn't hurt Lil.
00:50:06He is reckless enough and desperate enough.
00:50:11Where is Lil?
00:50:12She's running an errand from me.
00:50:13Why don't you just call her and check on her?
00:50:15Hey, it's Dad.
00:50:22We're just calling to check in and make sure everything's okay.
00:50:25Lil's tied up at the moment, but I'll let her know you called.
00:50:28Julian, put Lil on.
00:50:30No.
00:50:30I have a gun that's pointing at your daughter's head.
00:50:32Now, if you don't help me, I think taking your life will be enough compensation.
00:50:35Julian?
00:50:37Damn it.
00:50:37Where would they take her?
00:50:39I think I know.
00:50:39What's this?
00:50:43We'll need it.
00:50:43Let's go.
00:50:46Why is she still alive?
00:50:48I said she's useful for now.
00:50:50He was mine before you slithered in.
00:50:52You know, I'd say I did you a favor.
00:50:55Looks like you found someone more on your level.
00:50:56I mean, he gave you a fake ruby jewelry set.
00:51:02How much could he actually care about you?
00:51:04Don't listen to her, babe.
00:51:05You know, I wouldn't lie to you.
00:51:06Once I'm in control, you are gonna have more than rubies.
00:51:10You're gonna have everything.
00:51:11Jane, after he has Nathan's fortune, why would he need you anymore?
00:51:15If he wins, he won't need you.
00:51:17And when he doesn't need people, he discards them.
00:51:21Shut up, bitch.
00:51:22Shut up.
00:51:23If you touch her again, I'll put you on the ground myself.
00:51:30Lil, it is quite the feat.
00:51:31You have the two most influential men in the city wanting to keep you safe.
00:51:35Julian, just let Lil go.
00:51:38No.
00:51:39Not till I get what I want.
00:51:40What I deserve.
00:51:42I made him sign it.
00:51:45All of it is yours.
00:51:47All right, you got what you wanted, so...
00:51:49It's all mine.
00:51:51It's all mine.
00:51:53Like it always should have been.
00:51:57Darren.
00:51:58You need to get out of the city.
00:52:00After you're gone, I will release your daughter, but not a second before.
00:52:06And you...
00:52:07I'm not finished with you yet.
00:52:10You see, the only way this contract is gonna hold up...
00:52:12is if you're dead.
00:52:20No.
00:52:20You fucking bitch.
00:52:27Nathan!
00:52:30Ethan!
00:52:31Stay with me.
00:52:32Please, please, please, you're okay.
00:52:34But you have to be...
00:52:35He's finally dead.
00:52:36Please do something!
00:52:37He can't help you.
00:52:39Nobody can help you now.
00:52:40What?
00:52:41You still care about him?
00:52:42He didn't care about you?
00:52:43And neither do I.
00:52:44I guess that's what my brother and I have in common, huh?
00:52:47Neither of us wanted you.
00:52:48What?
00:52:48That's the truth.
00:52:49Oh, why would I?
00:52:50I have everything I need.
00:52:51What good is a disloyal, useless slut?
00:52:55But...
00:52:55But, but, but, but...
00:52:56You promised me!
00:52:57I lied.
00:52:58Should have believed Lil.
00:52:59She tried to warn you.
00:52:59You bastard!
00:53:00Ethan?
00:53:07Oh my gosh.
00:53:09You're alive?
00:53:11How?
00:53:12Never bet against me.
00:53:14No.
00:53:14No, that's impossible.
00:53:17Well, if at first you don't succeed.
00:53:24No.
00:53:25No!
00:53:27No!
00:53:27That was a little luck.
00:53:39Let me take care of him.
00:53:41You'll never see or hear from him again.
00:53:43Get off me!
00:53:44I own Sterling Corp!
00:53:45You can't do this!
00:53:49Wait.
00:53:50Wait.
00:53:51No, stop!
00:53:52No!
00:53:53No!
00:53:54No!
00:53:55Nathan, come on.
00:53:55Please!
00:53:56I'm your brother!
00:53:57Come on!
00:53:58You were never a brother to me.
00:54:00You were always a parasite to the family name.
00:54:03No!
00:54:04No!
00:54:05Get off!
00:54:05Get off!
00:54:06Wait!
00:54:06Wait!
00:54:07Ah.
00:54:10I'm so sorry, Nathan.
00:54:13I hope we can put this behind us.
00:54:16Sure.
00:54:17Yeah, I'm not mad.
00:54:19But your family is.
00:54:20What?
00:54:21I called them and told them everything.
00:54:23The kidnapping, the betrayal, the fake engagement.
00:54:27They're disappointed, to say the least.
00:54:30What?
00:54:30Also, you're cut off financially.
00:54:32Forever.
00:54:33No.
00:54:34No, no, they wouldn't.
00:54:36They can't.
00:54:39Julian!
00:54:40Julian!
00:54:41Julian!
00:54:41I failed you both.
00:54:50You and your mother.
00:54:52All those years, all I did was take.
00:54:55But now I've got a chance to do something right by you.
00:54:58How?
00:54:59By letting you go.
00:55:01No conditions.
00:55:02You know, that's the first right thing you've done for me in a really long time.
00:55:06But thank you.
00:55:07I don't think I could have done it if I hadn't seen Nathan be willing to sacrifice his businesses and his life for you.
00:55:13I didn't even hesitate.
00:55:16That's how much she means to me.
00:55:18I know.
00:55:19I'm sorry I doubted you.
00:55:23Take good care of my daughter.
00:55:25You have my word.
00:55:29Goodbye, little luck.
00:55:32Bye, Dad.
00:55:37You sure you're okay?
00:55:49We didn't go to the hospital just in case.
00:55:51You're the one that took a bullet to the heart.
00:55:53If anyone's going to the hospital, it's you.
00:56:00I'm glad her plan worked.
00:56:02Me too.
00:56:03He said that if I join him, he'll leave you alone.
00:56:06Okay.
00:56:11So he says he'll back off, but he's working with Julian, which means he's lying.
00:56:16I know.
00:56:18But what if we use what they both want against them?
00:56:21I'm listening.
00:56:23Okay.
00:56:23Um, I agree to reunite with my father.
00:56:26He betrays Julian.
00:56:27Which would make Julian betray Darren.
00:56:30Exactly.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:33At least we're free and saved now.
00:56:35To think all he needed was a $10 million brooch.
00:56:39That's looking amazing, Lou.
00:56:50Thank you, Mr. Maison.
00:56:51Do you need me to look over something?
00:56:54Well, I just got a commission from a very particular client.
00:56:58Oh.
00:56:59And they want something truly original.
00:57:02A custom engagement ring.
00:57:04Very personal.
00:57:05Very specific.
00:57:07Okay, that's amazing.
00:57:08I want you to design it.
00:57:11Wait, me.
00:57:12Are you sure?
00:57:13Oh, yes.
00:57:13The clients liked your portfolio the best.
00:57:18Okay.
00:57:19Yeah.
00:57:20I won't let you down.
00:57:21I know you won't.
00:57:22Do I need to speak to Maison?
00:57:50He seems to be working you a little too hard here.
00:57:54Look, the commission is very important.
00:57:57But the final design is due tomorrow.
00:57:59You really do have a gift for this.
00:58:05The client's going to love it.
00:58:06Here you are.
00:58:17I will go see what the client thinks.
00:58:19Who is it?
00:58:20A wealthy man in love who wants to keep his privacy.
00:58:24This is an engagement ring for his fiancée.
00:58:26Oh, I hope she likes it.
00:58:28Would you?
00:58:29Of course.
00:58:31It's one of the best things I've designed.
00:58:36No, I don't understand.
00:58:37How long does it take for someone to decide if they like a ring?
00:58:40It's been four weeks.
00:58:42Like, you'd think they would know by now.
00:58:43I know.
00:58:44I thought I'd take you out tonight so you wouldn't talk about work.
00:58:47Okay, I know.
00:58:48Okay, I just hate waiting.
00:58:50Well, luckily I have just the thing to keep you from overthinking.
00:58:54Wait a second.
00:58:57Is this place closed?
00:59:00It is now.
00:59:01I rented it out.
00:59:03Just for us.
00:59:05Why?
00:59:06Because I wanted to let you know the client loved your design.
00:59:11Wait, how do you know that?
00:59:15Because I was the client.
00:59:17Wait, what?
00:59:18I wanted to make sure your engagement ring was perfect.
00:59:22And I couldn't trust anyone else with the most important design of my life.
00:59:34Little Ashford.
00:59:36Oh, my God.
00:59:39Will you marry me?
00:59:43Will you marry me?
00:59:45Yes, I'll marry you, Nathan Sterling.
00:59:48I'll marry you.
00:59:52Wait, did you?
01:00:01No, I did not do this.
01:00:09My dad.
01:00:11Swear.
01:00:11He always knows more than he says.
01:00:13How did he know I was going to propose today?
01:00:15Okay.
01:00:15I'll marry you.
01:00:35No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:36No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:39No.
01:00:39No.
01:00:39No.
01:00:40No.
