00:00:00Hey! Hey! Get back here! Get back here! Hey, get the fuck out of here!
00:00:18It's all good. You have a good night, Bonnie, class.
00:00:20You okay?
00:00:23Be a little more careful next night, right? I won't be there to save you.
00:00:26Wait, please don't go.
00:00:28I'm sorry, I don't have time. I need to...
00:00:31It's okay, I already have.
00:00:33Check the engraving. If you don't really believe that, it's yours.
00:00:38How much?
00:00:43You stole it back from them. That's why they're chasing you, huh?
00:00:47Let me give you a ride.
00:00:49Thanks, but I don't really have anywhere to go.
00:00:51I'll take you anywhere you need to go.
00:00:53I'm good, thanks.
00:00:54Come on, trust me.
00:00:55Okay, wait. What the hell are you doing?
00:00:57This is kidnapping. What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:01:00I'm rewarding you for returning my property.
00:01:03Do you have any idea how much this watch is worth?
00:01:05500 grand. Probably new.
00:01:08100 on the black market. 200 if you know where to look.
00:01:12100 grand would help you, wouldn't it?
00:01:14So, why didn't you take it?
00:01:17I'm not a thief.
00:01:18You're a pickpocket, but not a thief.
00:01:22Kind of an odd profession.
00:01:29What's your name?
00:01:30Lil?
00:01:33Come on.
00:01:37Don't you want to know my name?
00:01:39The name of your rescuer?
00:01:40You mean my kidnapper?
00:01:42Yeah, no, thanks. I'm good.
00:01:45Fine.
00:01:46Suit yourself.
00:01:48Let's go.
00:01:55Jerome?
00:01:56Good evening, Mr. Sterling.
00:01:58Wait.
00:01:59You're Nathan Sterling?
00:02:00The billionaire?
00:02:02Yes.
00:02:04Great.
00:02:06Would you lead our guest to her room?
00:02:07Yes, sir.
00:02:09Right this way, man.
00:02:10Jerome, have Maison send over some clothes for Lil in the morning?
00:02:13Yes, sir.
00:02:14And Lil, be sure to shower.
00:02:17Right this way, man.
00:02:20And here you are.
00:02:22If there's anything you need, just let me know.
00:02:33You know, this is actually the first girl you've let stay over.
00:02:38So, tell me about her.
00:02:40I don't know.
00:02:41She reminds me of a little mouse.
00:02:45And these big eyes that see everything, but very twitchy.
00:02:50Do you even know what she likes to eat?
00:02:52Not a clue.
00:02:53I think she'd eat anything right about now.
00:02:57Cheese.
00:02:57That's what nice.
00:02:59Like to eat.
00:03:01Nathan, you can pick your jaw up off the floor, Nathan.
00:03:04Good morning, Lil.
00:03:08How about I whip you up an arm?
00:03:09Yeah, that'd be amazing.
00:03:11If it's not too much trouble.
00:03:12No trouble at all.
00:03:13It's actually one of Mr. Sterling's favorites.
00:03:17You look...
00:03:19Clean?
00:03:20Different.
00:03:21Good different.
00:03:23So, look, you can stay here as long as you need to, okay?
00:03:27And then later on, I'll figure out what to do with you.
00:03:31Go.
00:03:34Looks amazing.
00:03:36Just waiting until you taste it.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43We are having a huge issue here at the casino.
00:03:47Uh, fine.
00:03:48I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:03:50Sir, the situation is escalating.
00:03:52Okay, so do your job and find me.
00:03:55Sorry, I have an emergency at one of the card rooms I own.
00:03:57Just stay here, relax, until I get back.
00:04:00Can I come?
00:04:02You really want to?
00:04:05Okay.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07Uh, get dressed.
00:04:07We'll leave in five.
00:04:08Oh, uh, I couldn't find any of my clothes this morning.
00:04:11Yeah.
00:04:12Uh, I had Jerome burn those.
00:04:14But, trust me, I did you a favor.
00:04:16There was no saving.
00:04:18Those were the only clothes that I had.
00:04:20What are these?
00:04:20No, this is too much.
00:04:24I can't.
00:04:25Yes, you can.
00:04:26Unless you want to go naked, of course.
00:04:35Ready?
00:04:37Okay.
00:04:38Okay.
00:04:39Uh, and don't make me regret this.
00:04:42No promises.
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:43Yes.
00:04:50Son of a bitch.
00:04:55What is going on here?
00:04:56Are you watching this?
00:04:57Everybody shut the hell up, please.
00:05:01What the fuck happened?
00:05:02Sir, a gentleman arrived early this morning.
00:05:06He is clearing out the card tables.
00:05:09He's currently at the blackjack table.
00:05:12He is cheating.
00:05:14We just don't know how.
00:05:16He's up 750k.
00:05:18Is it one of the dealers?
00:05:20No.
00:05:20No way.
00:05:21Every table has a different dealer.
00:05:23He isn't cheating.
00:05:24What?
00:05:25He isn't cheating.
00:05:27He's counting cards.
00:05:28Impossible.
00:05:30He started with half a million in chips,
00:05:32and card counters target only one game.
00:05:35Yeah, exactly.
00:05:36He's not counting to win.
00:05:38He's counting to crash you.
00:05:40That would ruin the hotel's reputation.
00:05:42No high rollers would come here again.
00:05:44Give me 10k.
00:05:46What?
00:05:48I mean, you can afford it.
00:05:50Yeah, but I don't see...
00:05:52Okay, lend me the chips,
00:05:53and I'll get your money back.
00:05:56Go to the chips.
00:05:58But, sir...
00:05:59Now?
00:06:04I am going to ruin his day.
00:06:06I've been watching this table.
00:06:09Let me go in now,
00:06:10and I will be right back.
00:06:14Split, please.
00:06:34Are you kidding?
00:06:36She has a six.
00:06:37You don't fucking split with that, idiot.
00:06:40Stan.
00:06:40Just give her 21!
00:06:52Fuck!
00:06:56I bet that he has a benefactor
00:06:57who fronted him all the money.
00:06:59Okay, find out whatever you can
00:07:01about him, please.
00:07:03Want a full report by Monday?
00:07:04Yes, sir.
00:07:05Look, you're obviously being targeted.
00:07:12Do you know anybody
00:07:12who would want to hurt your business, or...?
00:07:15I have a few ideas.
00:07:21Hello?
00:07:23What are we doing here?
00:07:26Eating.
00:07:29Thanks.
00:07:30Yeah?
00:07:31But, you know what I mean, okay?
00:07:35You could have taken me anywhere.
00:07:37Why would you bring me to a place like this?
00:07:39To thank you.
00:07:40So, be grateful and order something.
00:07:45Look, what you did back there
00:07:47was very, very impressive.
00:07:50Where did you acquire
00:07:51such a unique set of skills?
00:07:53Oh.
00:07:53I mean,
00:07:55it was me and my mom,
00:07:57and we managed
00:07:58until she got sick.
00:08:02Um,
00:08:02after that,
00:08:03I had to find a way
00:08:04to survive on my own.
00:08:07And then when she
00:08:07went to the hospital full-time,
00:08:09can't really do that
00:08:10from foster care, so...
00:08:12How is your mom now?
00:08:15She passed.
00:08:16Last year.
00:08:17I'm sorry.
00:08:17And you've been
00:08:20homeless
00:08:22ever since then?
00:08:24Off and on.
00:08:26I mean,
00:08:26I got my GED,
00:08:27but it's kind of
00:08:28hard to get a job
00:08:29when you don't have
00:08:30an address
00:08:30or a phone.
00:08:32Oh my goodness,
00:08:33Nathan!
00:08:34Shit.
00:08:35Hey,
00:08:36just follow my lead,
00:08:37okay?
00:08:39Nathan!
00:08:40I always try to drag you away
00:08:42from work at this time of day,
00:08:43but you always turn me down.
00:08:45Hello, Jane.

00:08:50so Lil and I here

00:09:01at the same restaurant
00:09:02as your fiancée!
00:09:05Lil, was it?

00:09:25a workaholic

00:09:27Why is that?
00:09:28You're gonna find
00:09:29any excuse you can
00:09:31to never go home again.
00:09:34It's a family thing.
00:09:35It will never happen.

00:09:40Well, I bet she's

00:10:36with me until you
00:10:36find a place here.

00:10:41Okay, deal.
00:10:44You're back early.
00:10:50Oh, son of a bitch,
00:10:50you scared me.
00:10:52Tell me you didn't
00:10:53fuck it up.
00:10:56Did you bankrupt
00:10:56the casino?
00:10:57I nearly did.
00:11:00Nearly?
00:11:00But on the last hand,
00:11:01they must have switched
00:11:02out the decks
00:11:03or something
00:11:03because I lost.
00:11:06How much?
00:11:09All of it.
00:11:11Are you telling me
00:11:12that you lost
00:11:12all of the money
00:11:13that I gave you?
00:11:14It wasn't my fault.
00:11:15There was this girl.
00:11:18What girl?
00:11:24Mr. Sterling,
00:11:25here are the documents
00:11:25you asked for.
00:11:27And your call
00:11:27to the commissioner
00:11:28has been confirmed
00:11:29for three o'clock.
00:11:30Great.
00:11:32Would you mind
00:11:32taking a little to HR
00:11:33and get her sorted?
00:11:35On it.
00:11:35Take a seat here
00:11:44and Mr. Sterling
00:11:45will call
00:11:45when he needs you.
00:11:48Glad to have you
00:11:48on board.
00:11:56Fresh face.
00:11:57You new?
00:11:58Yeah.
00:11:59How'd you guess?
00:12:00Well, I already know
00:12:01the names of all
00:12:01the pretty girls
00:12:02around here.
00:12:03I'm Joanne.
00:12:04Will?
00:12:06You look familiar,
00:12:07Will.
00:12:07Have I seen it?
00:12:09What are you doing here?
00:12:10Just stopped by
00:12:11to check out
00:12:11the new merchandise.
00:12:13My brother.
00:12:14Can't take a joke
00:12:14any more than
00:12:15he can take a day off.
00:12:17Brother?
00:12:18Half-brother.
00:12:19We can talk
00:12:19in my office
00:12:20so you don't continue
00:12:21harassing my employees.
00:12:22If you need anything,
00:12:24I'm your guy.
00:12:28Mr. Sterling,
00:12:29I think our business
00:12:30will be able
00:12:31to help your brand
00:12:32expand globally.
00:12:40I'll let you know.
00:12:42Thank you for coming in.
00:12:50Who the hell
00:12:51do you think you are?
00:12:53Excuse me?
00:12:53I asked
00:12:54who the fuck
00:12:55you think you are.
00:12:57You just cost me
00:12:58a five million dollar deal.
00:13:00I think you cost yourself
00:13:01a deal
00:13:01when you filed
00:13:02for bankruptcy
00:13:03and then stole
00:13:03your subordinates' ideas
00:13:05to pass them off
00:13:05as your own.
00:13:06I never did that.
00:13:07A simple internet search
00:13:09showed me otherwise.
00:13:11You know,
00:13:12I just think
00:13:13being partners
00:13:14would be a bad
00:13:14business strategy.
00:13:16I couldn't agree more.
00:13:18Mr. Sterling,
00:13:19we wouldn't want
00:13:20to add browbeating
00:13:21an assistant
00:13:21to your list
00:13:22of grievances,
00:13:23would we?
00:13:26Fuck you.
00:13:32Nice work.
00:13:35You have a gift
00:13:36of seeing
00:13:36through people's bullshit.
00:13:37Thank you,
00:13:39Mr. Sterling.
00:13:40Call me Nathan.
00:13:43You're accompanying me
00:13:44to a charity auction
00:13:45tonight.
00:13:49That won't be
00:13:50a problem,
00:13:50will it?
00:13:52Of course not,
00:13:53Nathan.
00:13:54Good.
00:13:56And it's formal,
00:13:57so

00:14:00for the occasion.
00:14:00make sure it's done
00:14:07before the auction begins.
00:14:08I will soon.
00:14:09If you fail this time,
00:14:10there will be
00:14:11severe consequences.
00:14:13Understood.
00:14:14I won't let you know.
00:14:15You look lovely tonight,
00:14:35little mouse.
00:14:36You look quite
00:14:37dashing yourself,
00:14:38Mr. Sterling.
00:14:39What did we
00:14:40discuss about you
00:14:41calling me that?

00:16:28of the night
00:16:29is this delightful
00:16:30diamond-start brooch.
00:16:34Shall we still-
00:16:34$10 million.
00:16:36Uh,
00:16:36$10 million.
00:16:38$10 million going once.
00:16:41Going twice.
00:16:43Sold!
00:16:44For $10 million.
00:16:48Here.
00:16:51Okay.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:54Brother,
00:17:00why'd you overpay
00:17:01for that last piece?
00:17:02I thought my assistant
00:17:03needed a little token
00:17:04of my appreciation.
00:17:05Besides,
00:17:06she wears it well.
00:17:07Don't you think?
00:17:08I,
00:17:09she wears everything well.
00:17:11You know,
00:17:11I was going to buy
00:17:12that set.
00:17:14Was.
00:17:15I advise him against it.
00:17:16Why?
00:17:17Because,
00:17:18they're fake.
00:17:20How dare you?
00:17:22You're just jealous.
00:17:24I bet you told Nathan
00:17:25you wanted these.
00:17:27She didn't.
00:17:28She told me
00:17:29those were fake.
00:17:31No,
00:17:32no,
00:17:32no,
00:17:32I,
00:17:33I paid.
00:17:34What?
00:17:35But,
00:17:35Nathan,
00:17:36if you thought
00:17:37they were fake,
00:17:37why did you bid on them?
00:17:39My brother donated them,
00:17:40and if word got out
00:17:41they were fake,
00:17:42it'd damage the family name.
00:17:43They're not fake!
00:17:45Well,
00:17:45there's one way
00:17:46to find out.
00:17:48Mr. Marzon,
00:17:48would you mind
00:17:50indulging me
00:17:50for a moment?
00:17:51Certainly,
00:17:52Mr. Sterling.
00:17:53Would you mind
00:17:53taking a look
00:17:54at Miss Lockhart's
00:17:55latest purchase?
00:17:56Of course.
00:17:59Oh,
00:17:59my
00:18:00word.
00:18:01This
00:18:02is a forgery.
00:18:04How can this be?
00:18:06Doesn't this auction house
00:18:07authenticate
00:18:08every product
00:18:08they sell?
00:18:09Of course
00:18:09it does.
00:18:10Someone must have
00:18:11switched my real donation
00:18:12out with this fake one.
00:18:14It's
00:18:14possible.
00:18:15I will have
00:18:17my staff
00:18:18review the CCTV
00:18:18and complete
00:18:19a full investigation.
00:18:21In the meantime,
00:18:22Julian,
00:18:23I think you should
00:18:24return Miss Lockhart's
00:18:2550 million dollars.
00:18:27Uh,
00:18:28until the real gems
00:18:29have been found,
00:18:30of course.
00:18:31It's only right.
00:18:32I don't,
00:18:33I don't think that's,
00:18:34um...
00:18:34You can cover it,
00:18:35can't you?
00:18:36I mean,
00:18:37I'd hate to think
00:18:37your finances
00:18:38are as fake
00:18:39as those gems.
00:18:41Of course.
00:18:44Excuse me.
00:18:45Uh,
00:18:48Miss,
00:18:49may I take a closer
00:18:50look at
00:18:50your piece?
00:18:52Certainly.
00:18:56My
00:18:56word.
00:18:59Well,
00:19:00looks like
00:19:01the assistant
00:19:01got scammed too.
00:19:03No,
00:19:04quite the opposite.
00:19:06In fact,
00:19:06this is a rare
00:19:07vintage piece
00:19:07that once belonged
00:19:08to the royal family
00:19:09of Nepal,
00:19:10rumored to have
00:19:11saved the life
00:19:12of a Nepali king.
00:19:13Wait,
00:19:14really?
00:19:14It can't be.
00:19:16I'm sure of it.
00:19:18Frankly,
00:19:18I'm quite surprised
00:19:19no one else
00:19:20even bid.
00:19:21That brooch
00:19:21is worth at least
00:19:2225 million.
00:19:25And Nathan
00:19:26got it for a steal.
00:19:27I guess I had
00:19:28beginner's luck,
00:19:29huh?
00:19:30If you ever
00:19:31decide to sell,
00:19:32please contact me
00:19:33first.
00:19:35Will do.
00:19:36Come.
00:19:37Let's, uh,
00:19:37let's get out of here.
00:19:39Nathan!
00:19:40You have to help
00:19:40me fix this.
00:19:42Julian.
00:19:43Julian!
00:19:45Is that her?
00:19:46That's her, right?
00:19:48That's Lil?
00:19:49Maybe.
00:19:51I'm sure it's her.
00:19:54What's up?
00:19:55I'm gonna go
00:19:56get that bitch.
00:19:57Bro.
00:20:02How did you know that?
00:20:04Know what?
00:20:05About the rubies
00:20:06being fake.
00:20:07Um,
00:20:08well,
00:20:09before my mom
00:20:09got sick,
00:20:10she used to work
00:20:11at this luxury
00:20:11jewelry store,
00:20:12and she taught me
00:20:13everything she knew
00:20:14about gemstones.
00:20:15So how the real ones
00:20:16would reflect light
00:20:17in a certain way.
00:20:18So a real ruby
00:20:19glows dark red.
00:20:20Fake one throws
00:20:20a rainbow light.
00:20:22Hmm.
00:20:22You must miss
00:20:24your mom.
00:20:25Yeah.
00:20:26I wish I could've
00:20:27told her I met
00:20:27Maison tonight.
00:20:29He was her favorite
00:20:29designer.
00:20:31Second favorite.
00:20:33Who was her first?
00:20:34She always used
00:20:35to say me.
00:20:36I used to do
00:20:37sketches of jewelry
00:20:37for her.
00:20:38Really?
00:20:40You should show
00:20:41me sometime.
00:20:43I mean it.
00:20:47I'll...
00:20:48see you in the morning.
00:20:50Oh, wait.
00:20:51Um...
00:20:52Could you help me
00:20:53with this?
00:20:56Yeah.
00:21:09Ethan,
00:21:09I can't accept this.
00:21:12Yeah.
00:21:13Sure you can.
00:21:14Little mouse.
00:21:19Um,
00:21:20I'm sorry.
00:21:20Um,
00:21:20I'm tired.
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:22I'm gonna head to bed.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:26Good night.
00:21:37My brother somehow
00:21:39knew those rubies
00:21:40were fake.
00:21:40But how?
00:21:41I didn't switch them
00:21:41until after they were
00:21:42authenticated.
00:21:45We need to come up
00:21:46with 50 million dollars
00:21:47by the end of this week.
00:21:48It's time we cleaned up
00:21:49or mess the casino
00:21:50or mess the casino.
00:21:52And this time,
00:21:54no slip-ups.
00:22:00Mr. Sterling,
00:22:02Mason sent over
00:22:02the security footage.
00:22:05Who is this guy?
00:22:16Wait a minute.
00:22:18This is the same guy
00:22:19that was counting cards
00:22:20in the casino a week ago.
00:22:21What a coincidence.
00:22:28Or not.
00:22:29Funny.
00:22:30Yeah.
00:22:30Shouldn't you be
00:22:31pestering your brother
00:22:32or...
00:22:34No, I, uh,
00:22:35actually came here to see you.
00:22:36Me?
00:22:37Wanted to see if you had
00:22:38plans for today.
00:22:39I'll tell you somewhere.
00:22:41Where?
00:22:41I can't tell you that.
00:22:44I have a room of surprise.
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:47Unlike my brother,
00:22:48I know how to have fun.
00:22:51Okay.
00:22:52Fine.
00:22:53Let's go.
00:23:07Julian.
00:23:08Why here?
00:23:09What's this about?
00:23:11Been here before?
00:23:12Nathan's Casino?
00:23:14Yeah, he brought me here once.
00:23:16Doesn't sound like
00:23:16he showed you a good time.
00:23:19Let's correct that.
00:23:37Shoot.
00:23:38Broker.
00:23:40You just want to watch me win?
00:23:43No.
00:23:44I don't gamble.
00:23:45Oh, don't be a party pooper.
00:23:46I'll gladly watch you play.
00:23:50It's at this blackjack table.
00:23:52It's not the one where you have to get
00:23:53as close as you can to 21?
00:23:55Yes.
00:23:56Without going over.
00:23:57Okay.
00:23:57Let's play.
00:23:58Sir, they found your brother.
00:24:05He's at the blackjack table.
00:24:06Okay.
00:24:07Tell them to keep eyes on my brother,
00:24:08but if he touches her,
00:24:09shut it down.
00:24:10Yes, sir.
00:24:12You need to come with me
00:24:13every time I play.
00:24:15Hello, a good luck charm.
00:24:16She won't.
00:24:21Everything's always changing, Nathan.
00:24:22Maybe she'll realize
00:24:23that she deserves better.
00:24:26How about we play?
00:24:28For her.
00:24:28What?
00:24:34Nathan's interesting.
00:24:36We play.
00:24:38Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:24:41What do you say?
00:24:43Not brave enough to take the risk.
00:24:48What is she worth to you, Nathan?
00:24:50Half a million?
00:24:52All right, don't even think about it.
00:24:53Are you kidding?
00:24:54Half a million?
00:24:55Please.
00:24:56Nathan knows I'm worth
00:24:57at least ten times more than that.
00:24:59Lil, what are you doing?
00:25:02Uh, five million?
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06You want Mr. Sterling
00:25:07to take your bets seriously.
00:25:12Yeah, and after last night,
00:25:13he probably doesn't even have five million.
00:25:16Unless he wants to put up his shares
00:25:18in Sterling Corp as collateral.
00:25:23Fine.
00:25:25My share's against five million dollars.
00:25:27Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:25:30Agreed?
00:25:38What are you doing?
00:25:40If I lose, you have to go with him.
00:25:42This isn't the game.
00:25:44What?
00:25:45This is the distraction.
00:25:47This isn't the real game.
00:25:49He's moving something
00:25:50while you're stuck here.
00:25:51Well, we'll find out soon enough.
00:26:09Hey!
00:26:10What are you doing?
00:26:11Looks like your little pet
00:26:12doesn't want you to win.
00:26:13Just fall, bro.
00:26:15Call it Marcy.
00:26:16I'll be right back.
00:26:17Don't miss me too much.
00:26:18Agreed.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:20It's like you've already lost her.
00:26:21Well, it must be worth five million in the sack.
00:26:34Otherwise, why would you be playing?
00:26:36Well, you can tell me.
00:26:37I'll find out tonight anyway.
00:26:39That'll never happen.
00:26:40You just want her because she's mine.
00:26:43Yours.
00:26:44She's not a prize, Julian.
00:26:46She's with me because she chose it.
00:26:48I doubt she'd see it that way.
00:26:50What do you mean?
00:26:51She's not stupid.
00:26:52She works for you.
00:26:53You're a little worker bee.
00:26:55The most she could ever hope for
00:26:56is to be your plaything.
00:26:57And you and I both know
00:26:58how quickly you get bored.
00:27:00She's better off with me.
00:27:01Saves her the heartbreak.
00:27:03Saves you the guilt.
00:27:12Gotcha.
00:27:12Gotcha.
00:27:18Is this still going on, or...?
00:27:32Uh, yeah.
00:27:35Typical.
00:27:35I leave for five minutes.
00:27:37Meanwhile, you guys are still in the middle
00:27:38of your dick measuring contest.
00:27:40Can we hurry this along?
00:27:42I'm getting bored.
00:27:44We're in the middle of a game.
00:27:46She's right.
00:27:47Let's finish this.
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:51I'm just keeping things interesting for Lil.
00:27:54About time?
00:28:01You know what?
00:28:04Let's just go blind all in.
00:28:08Okay.
00:28:08Okay.
00:28:15Wait, wait.
00:28:23What does that mean?
00:28:25That right there means I won.
00:28:29So, Julian,
00:28:30you can have your shares transferred
00:28:31by end of the day tomorrow.
00:28:33Okay?
00:28:40I want you to know
00:28:41no one touches what's mine.
00:28:45Win or lose.
00:28:48Look, I just thought
00:28:48I was a pretty face
00:28:49who couldn't tell hearts
00:28:50from diamonds.
00:28:58Tell me again
00:28:59how you lost
00:29:00that security card.
00:29:01Please, sir.
00:29:01It's like I told you.
00:29:02I had it in my hand.
00:29:04I put it in my pocket,
00:29:05but when I got outside,
00:29:06it was gone.
00:29:07Did you drop it?
00:29:08I don't know.
00:29:10How the fuck
00:29:11are we supposed to get
00:29:12to that vault now?
00:29:13Do you know
00:29:14what Darren Wolfe's
00:29:14going to do to us?
00:29:16What?
00:29:17Mr. Rhodes.
00:29:18I told you I'm busy.
00:29:19Your brother is here.
00:29:20He's very insistent
00:29:21on seeing you.
00:29:23Fine.
00:29:31Julian.
00:29:32Nathan.
00:29:33Now's not a good time.
00:29:34I'm sorry to hear that.
00:29:36Figured I'd swing by,
00:29:38save you the time to...
00:29:40How'd you sign that?
00:29:41It's the shares
00:29:42you lost to me.
00:29:46I'd have to look it over.
00:29:48Maybe you can come back.
00:29:50Read it.
00:29:51Now.
00:29:53I've got time.
00:29:55I can wait.
00:29:58Okay.
00:29:58You know what?
00:30:04I really should have
00:30:05my lawyer look this over.
00:30:08Totally understand.
00:30:10Gotcha.
00:30:11Call him.
00:30:12Your brother's not the only one
00:30:37you should be afraid of.
00:30:39Julian.
00:30:40Mr. Wolfe.
00:30:42There's been a slight hiccup.
00:30:45You guys couldn't handle
00:30:47the simple tasks I gave you?
00:30:49Sir, please.
00:30:50Your brother's businesses
00:30:52are thriving.
00:30:54And you're costing me
00:30:55time and money.
00:30:56Just listen to me.
00:30:58My brother has a weakness now.
00:30:59He didn't have one before.
00:31:00Weakness?
00:31:01What weakness?
00:31:02His assistant.
00:31:04He cares about her.
00:31:05He wants to protect her.
00:31:06And that's how you get him
00:31:07to do what you want.
00:31:09You really think I'd kill you
00:31:13in such an obvious place,
00:31:15you stupid fucks?
00:31:18Lucky for both of you,
00:31:20you've got some time
00:31:21to fix your little screw-ups.
00:31:23Now, what's the assistant's name?
00:31:31I'm still impressed.
00:31:33Should be.
00:31:35Nathan, darling!
00:31:37And what are you doing here
00:31:39in Nathan's house?
00:31:41Hey, hey, cool it.
00:31:42Please.
00:31:42She's just there.
00:31:44I'm leaving.
00:31:45Will.
00:31:46Please show me.
00:31:51Let her go, Nathan.
00:31:52She's a nobody anyway.
00:31:54What are you doing here?
00:31:55I missed you.
00:31:57I thought we could have dinner,
00:31:59you know,
00:32:00since we are getting married.
00:32:02Jane, Jane.
00:32:04Our families want this wedding,
00:32:06but I don't.
00:32:07What?
00:32:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:32:10You just need more time.
00:32:11No, no, I don't need more time.
00:32:15It's because of her, isn't it?
00:32:18You had no problem with marrying me,
00:32:20but she showed up.
00:32:23Look, I'm sorry.
00:32:25I'll tell our families.
00:32:26Nathan, please.
00:32:27We're done, Jane.
00:32:29No engagement, no future.
00:32:31Well, you bitch.
00:32:37Once you're gone,
00:32:39Nathan will be all mine.
00:32:55Well, well, look who's back.
00:32:58I told you,
00:32:59I'll get you back, bitch.
00:33:00No one to protect you now.
00:33:04You think just because
00:33:05you're dressed in nice clothes,
00:33:07that makes you better than us?
00:33:09You are from the streets,
00:33:10just like me.
00:33:12You know,
00:33:13there are a few people out of you
00:33:15willing to pay big bucks.
00:33:18Julian Rhodes, I suppose.
00:33:20Yup.
00:33:21I could turn you over to him, too.
00:33:25He can't pay you.
00:33:26He's broke.
00:33:29There's someone else
00:33:30looking for you, too.
00:33:32A gangster.
00:33:34It's...
00:33:35Hey!
00:33:36Stop!
00:33:36Stop!
00:33:37She's a unit!
00:33:38Stop!
00:33:38Stop!
00:33:39You think you could come after her?
00:33:40No!
00:33:41Someone else is looking for her!
00:33:43Someone else's closer, man!
00:33:44Who?
00:33:46What is that?
00:33:48You tell him
00:33:49this is war.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:54Yeah.
00:33:54Huh?
00:34:01I heard about what happened.
00:34:02Are you guys all right?
00:34:04A bit shaken,
00:34:05but
00:34:05you're fine.
00:34:06All right?
00:34:07Yeah.
00:34:07All right.
00:34:08I'll make you some tea.
00:34:09Thanks.
00:34:15Hey.
00:34:15You're bleeding.
00:34:18That's fine.
00:34:19It doesn't hurt.
00:34:22Uh,
00:34:22Drew?
00:34:23Yes?
00:34:23Can we get first aid kit?
00:34:25What?
00:34:25What, are you gonna fix me up,
00:34:27little mouse?
00:34:29Only if you don't whine about it
00:34:31like a baby.
00:34:33Hmm.
00:34:39Nathan.
00:34:39You know,
00:34:41you seem to get into
00:34:42a lot of trouble.
00:34:44Trouble seems to follow me.
00:34:46Well,
00:34:46what am I supposed to do
00:34:47about that?
00:34:48I don't know.
00:34:50Survive it?
00:34:52I don't think I could survive
00:34:53without your trouble anymore.
00:34:57And one for you.
00:34:59And one for you.
00:35:02Thanks.
00:35:02Thanks, Jerome.
00:35:04Aren't those the same guys
00:35:06that were coming after you
00:35:07the night we met?
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:09It's weird.
00:35:10The leader,
00:35:11whoever he was,
00:35:12said someone was
00:35:13coming after you.
00:35:14Who, Julian?
00:35:15I told him that he doesn't
00:35:16have the funds to pay him.
00:35:17No, it wasn't Julian.
00:35:18It was
00:35:19the notorious gangster
00:35:20Darren Wolf.
00:35:23Who?
00:35:26What's wrong?
00:35:29You said Darren Wolf
00:35:30was looking for me?
00:35:31Yeah,
00:35:31he's a mobster
00:35:32that's been trying to
00:35:33infiltrate my
00:35:34casino visit.
00:35:36Lil!
00:35:39Hey, what is going on?
00:35:43Nathan, I have to go.
00:35:45Every second that I'm here,
00:35:46the more danger that you're in.
00:35:47What do you mean?
00:35:48Nathan, let me go.
00:35:49No, not until you tell me
00:35:50what is going on.
00:35:51Okay?
00:35:52What would Darren Wolf
00:35:53want with you anyway?
00:35:54He's my father.
00:35:57What are you talking about?
00:36:00Did your mother even know
00:36:01he's this one?
00:36:01No!
00:36:02No.
00:36:03Not for a long time.
00:36:06His scams got bigger
00:36:07and bigger.
00:36:08And then when he tried
00:36:08to convince her
00:36:09to rob the jewelry store
00:36:10that she worked at,
00:36:11she took me
00:36:12and we disappeared.
00:36:14I mean,
00:36:14she knew that
00:36:15he was trying to find us,
00:36:16but we moved around a lot
00:36:17until she got too sick.
00:36:21What would he want
00:36:22with you now?
00:36:24Whatever it is,
00:36:24it'll be criminal.
00:36:26It'll have something
00:36:27to do with your business,
00:36:28which is why
00:36:29I have to leave.
00:36:30No, no.
00:36:31Hey,
00:36:32I can protect you.
00:36:34Nathan.
00:36:35Do you trust me?
00:36:37Yeah, of course I do.
00:36:42No, you're engaged to Jane.
00:36:44No, I'm not.
00:36:45I told her tonight.
00:36:47It's done.
00:36:47It's over.
00:36:49Officially.
00:36:50You did?
00:36:51Yeah.
00:36:53Lil, I was never
00:36:54going to marry her.
00:36:56Especially after meeting you.
00:37:00My little mouse.
00:37:06You turned my life
00:37:08upside down.
00:37:08You turned my life
00:37:10upside down.
00:37:11What are we going to do
00:37:27about my father?
00:37:34I won't let anything
00:37:35happen to you.
00:37:37Nathan,
00:37:38we need a plan.
00:37:47I have a plan.
00:37:48Okay, good.
00:37:50No, no, no.
00:37:51Then we're going to be
00:37:52late for work.
00:37:53No way.
00:37:54We're taking a personal day.
00:37:57How personal.
00:37:58Very,
00:37:59very
00:38:00personal.
00:38:06Yes, of course
00:38:07the engagement's still on.
00:38:09Nathan's just
00:38:10been
00:38:11really
00:38:12busy
00:38:12at work
00:38:13lately.
00:38:15He'll call.
00:38:16Of course he will.
00:38:17We're really looking
00:38:18forward to dinner.
00:38:19I'll
00:38:19check with him
00:38:21and confirm.
00:38:22Bye.
00:38:22Long time no see,
00:38:26Jane.
00:38:28You know,
00:38:29eavesdropping really
00:38:29is a nasty habit,
00:38:30but I have to admit
00:38:32that phone call
00:38:33was priceless.
00:38:35What is it to you?
00:38:36Must sting that Nathan
00:38:37chose Lil over you.
00:38:39Nathan and I
00:38:40will be together.
00:38:42She's nothing.
00:38:43A face.
00:38:44Keep telling yourself
00:38:45that, babe,
00:38:45but you and I
00:38:46both know the truth.
00:38:47He prefers lowly
00:38:48as he's into.
00:38:49Easy.
00:38:53You don't want to
00:38:53slap the only person
00:38:54who knows how to
00:38:55actually ruin her.
00:39:00You said you had a plan?
00:39:02It's all here.
00:39:03Let me see.
00:39:09She was homeless?
00:39:10Imagine the shit
00:39:11story that's going to
00:39:12hit Nathan
00:39:12when this goes public.
00:39:13Are you even going to
00:39:14still want him
00:39:14after he's broke?
00:39:15Okay.
00:39:19What if I didn't
00:39:20just take down
00:39:21his empire?
00:39:23What if I took you too?
00:39:30That bitch
00:39:30goes down too.
00:39:32Your wish is not
00:39:32going to end.
00:39:39Hey, Will.
00:39:41Look,
00:39:42I don't have time
00:39:42to listen to your nonsense.
00:39:43Too fast.
00:39:45I want to have
00:39:45a look at this.
00:39:46What would Nathan
00:39:49say if he knew
00:39:50that you were
00:39:51on the streets
00:39:51before you had
00:39:52this job?
00:39:53He already knows,
00:39:54dumbass.
00:39:55Before he got out
00:39:56that he was sleeping
00:39:57with a homeless
00:39:57con artist?
00:39:59Investors would bolt.
00:40:02Help me.
00:40:04Or Nathan's going
00:40:05to toss you out
00:40:05on the street
00:40:06like trash.
00:40:07I'd always keep you
00:40:08around.
00:40:1124 hours long.
00:40:16Disappointing.
00:40:30You know,
00:40:30at least my P.I.
00:40:31found out
00:40:32he used to
00:40:32hack arcade machines.
00:40:34Okay,
00:40:35I didn't hack anything.
00:40:37I simply
00:40:37just found a way
00:40:38to win
00:40:39to where
00:40:39the machine
00:40:40would redistribute
00:40:40the quarters.
00:40:42Okay,
00:40:43so he didn't even
00:40:43bring out
00:40:44the big guns yet,
00:40:45huh?
00:40:45No,
00:40:46he's not
00:40:46desperate enough yet.
00:40:48So,
00:40:49should I tell him
00:40:50to shove it
00:40:51or do you want to?
00:40:53Let me do the honors.
00:40:57I don't want anyone
00:40:58to tarnish
00:41:00my lady's name,
00:41:01right?
00:41:02Mm-hmm.
00:41:06Mr. Sterling.
00:41:07Not now.
00:41:08Please.
00:41:08Please.
00:41:08I truly hope
00:41:14you're coming
00:41:14to a winning
00:41:15side,
00:41:15Lil.
00:41:15We could use
00:41:16you were saying?
00:41:20I was looking
00:41:21for her.
00:41:21Yeah,
00:41:22she's not here.
00:41:23Nathan,
00:41:24I left something
00:41:25last time
00:41:25you were here.
00:41:27Stay away
00:41:28from Lil
00:41:28and we'll
00:41:30ask nicely
00:41:30next time.
00:41:33Invest in a
00:41:33better P.I.
00:41:34next time.
00:41:35That report
00:41:35was pathetic.
00:41:36Get in.
00:41:50Darling,
00:41:51we can't have
00:41:52our long
00:41:53overdue
00:41:53reunion out here.
00:41:55Now,
00:41:56can we?
00:41:57Why not?
00:41:58It's as good
00:41:58a place as any.
00:41:59Look,
00:42:00I just want to talk.
00:42:01I know I made
00:42:02mistakes with you.
00:42:04Lil luck.
00:42:05Don't
00:42:05call me that.
00:42:07Come on.
00:42:08Just get in the
00:42:08car,
00:42:09please.
00:42:09For old
00:42:10time's sake.
00:42:27Well,
00:42:28you've changed.
00:42:29But those eyes,
00:42:31just like your
00:42:31mother's.
00:42:32don't ever
00:42:34bring her up.
00:42:35I know I should
00:42:36have done
00:42:36things differently.
00:42:38But now that
00:42:39I've found you
00:42:40again,
00:42:40it's time for you
00:42:41to become
00:42:42the person
00:42:43you were always
00:42:44meant to be.
00:42:45My right hand,
00:42:47partner in name,
00:42:50heir in truth.
00:42:53It was always
00:42:54supposed to be
00:42:54you, Lil.
00:42:54And if you
00:42:58don't,
00:42:59I'll ruin him.
00:43:02Nathan Sterling.
00:43:03I can destroy
00:43:05everything he's
00:43:05built.
00:43:07But join me
00:43:08and he'll be
00:43:08protected.
00:43:10His entire
00:43:10enterprise will
00:43:12be untouchable.
00:43:13It's all up to
00:43:14you now, Lil.
00:43:17No,
00:43:18I need time
00:43:19to think about
00:43:20all of it.
00:43:21Of course.
00:43:21But don't take
00:43:23too long.
00:43:24Julian is out
00:43:26for blood.
00:43:27And I'm the only
00:43:28one that can
00:43:28protect Nathan.
00:43:32Now take this
00:43:33and call me
00:43:35when you've
00:43:36decided.
00:43:37What would
00:43:38mom think about
00:43:39you threatening
00:43:39the man that I
00:43:40love like this?
00:43:41Your mother ran.
00:43:43You survived
00:43:43because I taught
00:43:45you better.
00:43:46But Nathan,
00:43:47he will protect
00:43:48you.
00:43:48Not a man
00:43:49like that.
00:43:51Never.
00:43:52You're wrong.
00:43:59What do I do?
00:44:02I have to
00:44:03protect Nathan.
00:44:10What are you
00:44:11doing?
00:44:12I'm attempting
00:44:12to cook.
00:44:15Why is Jerome
00:44:15always off
00:44:16when I need him?
00:44:19You all right?
00:44:20What's wrong?
00:44:22I, um,
00:44:24I'm just
00:44:25scared.
00:44:26I hate
00:44:26not knowing
00:44:27what's gonna
00:44:27happen next.
00:44:28You have
00:44:29nothing to
00:44:30worry about.
00:44:31Okay?
00:44:33I'll protect
00:44:34you.
00:44:34All right?
00:44:39I can't let
00:44:40my father hurt
00:44:40you,
00:44:41even if it
00:44:42means losing
00:44:43you.
00:44:43I can't let
00:44:44you.
00:44:44I can't let
00:44:45you.
00:44:45I can't let
00:44:46my father hurt
00:44:47you.
00:44:48I can't let
00:44:49you.
00:45:07Hello,
00:45:08Lil.
00:45:08Have you decided?
00:45:09Yeah.
00:45:10Come pick me up.
00:45:12I knew it.
00:45:13No.
00:45:13As long as you
00:45:14promise not to
00:45:15hurt Nathan,
00:45:15we're his business.
00:45:17Forever.
00:45:17You have
00:45:19my word.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:23I'm ready.
00:45:24Just like
00:45:24old times,
00:45:25kiddo.
00:45:26I'm coming
00:45:26to get you.
00:45:27I'm coming
00:45:27to get you.
00:45:27I'm coming
00:45:28to get you.
00:45:30I'm coming
00:45:39to get you.
00:45:41Everyone, I want
00:45:52you to meet my
00:46:02daughter, Lil.
00:46:04Your daughter?
00:46:05Yes.
00:46:07My daughter.
00:46:07and she's
00:46:08just back
00:46:08into the fold.
00:46:10Lil will be
00:46:10my second
00:46:11in command.
00:46:12Mr. Wolf,
00:46:13I don't think
00:46:13I'm...
00:46:13Julian,
00:46:14you need
00:46:14to know
00:46:15that Nathan
00:46:15is now
00:46:16untouchable.
00:46:18You swore
00:46:19to me that...
00:46:20Yeah, I know.
00:46:20But Nathan's
00:46:21safety was
00:46:22Lil's
00:46:22non-negotiable
00:46:23condition.
00:46:24I don't care.
00:46:25I want my
00:46:25brother destroyed
00:46:26and dead.
00:46:27Julian,
00:46:28you've always
00:46:29underestimated
00:46:30me.
00:46:30And now,
00:46:32you're gonna
00:46:32regret it.
00:46:33Twice.
00:46:34You bitch.
00:46:35Julian,
00:46:35my word
00:46:36is final.
00:46:37You cross
00:46:37that line
00:46:37again,
00:46:38and I'll
00:46:39bury you
00:46:39myself.
00:46:46Hello?
00:46:47Get over
00:46:47to Nathan's
00:46:48place now.
00:46:48I thought
00:46:49you said
00:46:49we weren't
00:46:49gonna make
00:46:49our move
00:46:50until next
00:46:50week.
00:46:51We have
00:46:51to start
00:46:51now.
00:46:52I'll explain
00:46:52later.
00:46:53Fine.
00:46:57Terry Wolf
00:46:57thinks he can
00:46:58double-cross me.
00:47:00Just made
00:47:00the biggest
00:47:00mistake of
00:47:01his life.
00:47:05Lil?
00:47:18Lil?
00:47:21Lil?
00:47:27Oh,
00:47:28Nathan.
00:47:29I'm sorry
00:47:30we fought.
00:47:31Please
00:47:31forgive me.
00:47:32What are
00:47:32you doing
00:47:33here?
00:47:34I heard
00:47:35that Lil
00:47:35left and
00:47:36thought you
00:47:37could use
00:47:37a friend.
00:47:38How do
00:47:39you know
00:47:39she left?
00:47:40Well,
00:47:41Julian said
00:47:41he saw
00:47:42her with
00:47:42an older
00:47:42man.
00:47:43I think
00:47:44she found
00:47:45a new
00:47:45sugar daddy.
00:47:46No,
00:47:47she wouldn't
00:47:47just leave.
00:47:49And you
00:47:50knew exactly
00:47:50when she
00:47:51did.
00:47:53Nathan,
00:47:54honey,
00:47:55what else
00:47:56do you
00:47:56expect from
00:47:57a person
00:47:57from the
00:47:58streets
00:47:58like her?
00:47:59Get out.
00:48:00But...
00:48:01Get out
00:48:01before I
00:48:03forget
00:48:03I was
00:48:04ever
00:48:04nice
00:48:04to
00:48:04you.
00:48:12Do it.
00:48:13It's time
00:48:14to teach
00:48:14them both
00:48:15a lesson.
00:48:18Hey,
00:48:19Lil.
00:48:19So glad
00:48:20I found
00:48:20you.
00:48:21Your father's
00:48:21looking for
00:48:22you.
00:48:22Oh,
00:48:22I'll just
00:48:22let me
00:48:23walk.
00:48:24Hey,
00:48:24let me
00:48:24go!
00:48:24Ah!
00:48:25Ah!
00:48:28Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:29Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:30Ah!
00:48:31Be a comfortable
00:48:32second-in-command.
00:48:35Nathan always
00:48:36wins.
00:48:36I'm just
00:48:37making sure
00:48:37that you're
00:48:38the reason
00:48:39he finally
00:48:39loses.
00:48:40My father
00:48:40won't help
00:48:41you.
00:48:41No.
00:48:43Yes,
00:48:43he will.
00:48:44Unless he
00:48:45wants to
00:48:45lose his
00:48:45daughter a
00:48:46little more
00:48:46permanently
00:48:46this time.
00:48:58I thought
00:48:58it was
00:48:58time for
00:48:59you and
00:48:59I to
00:48:59meet
00:48:59face-to-face.
00:49:01I don't
00:49:01do business
00:49:02with
00:49:02criminals.
00:49:03You
00:49:03just
00:49:03let
00:49:03other
00:49:04people
00:49:04do
00:49:04your
00:49:04business
00:49:04for
00:49:05you
00:49:05like
00:49:05my
00:49:06daughter.
00:49:06She
00:49:06isn't a
00:49:07criminal.
00:49:07She is
00:49:07what I
00:49:08made her.
00:49:08She is
00:49:09who she
00:49:09is despite
00:49:10of you.
00:49:11Either way,
00:49:12Sterling,
00:49:13my daughter is
00:49:13back where she
00:49:14belongs,
00:49:15with me.
00:49:16You mean you
00:49:16blackmailed her into
00:49:17going back?
00:49:18You should be
00:49:18thankful to my
00:49:19daughter.
00:49:20Because of her,
00:49:21you no longer have to
00:49:22fear me or my
00:49:23operations.
00:49:24You don't get it,
00:49:25do you?
00:49:25I love her and I
00:49:27would willingly give
00:49:28up everything I
00:49:29have for her.
00:49:30Could you do the
00:49:31same?
00:49:35I didn't think so.
00:49:37You only want Lil
00:49:39because of what she
00:49:40can do for you and
00:49:41your underground
00:49:41activities.
00:49:42Think what you
00:49:43want.
00:49:44I just came here to
00:49:45tell you that I plan
00:49:46to honor my
00:49:46daughter's wishes.
00:49:47Look, Lil, she's
00:49:49the most important
00:49:50person in the world
00:49:51to the both of us,
00:49:52right?
00:49:54And who else
00:49:55knows that?
00:49:56Who else would be
00:49:56willing to use that
00:49:57information to
00:49:58manipulate you?
00:49:59Julian wouldn't
00:50:00dare cross me.
00:50:01Plus, he wouldn't
00:50:02hurt Lil.
00:50:03He is reckless
00:50:04enough and
00:50:05desperate enough.
00:50:07Where is Lil?
00:50:08She's running an
00:50:09errand from me.
00:50:10Why don't you just
00:50:10call her and
00:50:11check on her?
00:50:18Hey, it's Dad.
00:50:19We're just calling
00:50:20to check in and
00:50:20make sure everything's
00:50:21okay.
00:50:21Lil's tied up at
00:50:23the moment, but
00:50:23I'll let her know
00:50:24you called.
00:50:25Julian, put Lil
00:50:26on.
00:50:26No, I have a gun
00:50:28that's pointed at
00:50:28your daughter's
00:50:28head.
00:50:29Now, if you don't
00:50:29help me, I think
00:50:30taking your life
00:50:31will be enough
00:50:31compensation.
00:50:32Julian?
00:50:33Damn it.
00:50:34Where would
00:50:34they take her?
00:50:35I think I know.
00:50:38What's this?
00:50:39We'll need it.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:43Why is she still
00:50:44alive?
00:50:44I said she's
00:50:45useful for now.
00:50:47He was mine
00:50:48before you slithered
00:50:49in.
00:50:49You know, I'd
00:50:50say I did you a
00:50:51favor.
00:50:51Looks like he
00:50:52found someone
00:50:52more on your
00:50:53level.
00:50:55I mean, he
00:50:56gave you a fake
00:50:57ruby jewelry set.
00:50:59How much could he
00:50:59actually care about
00:51:00you?
00:51:01Don't listen to her,
00:51:01babe.
00:51:02You know, I
00:51:02wouldn't lie to
00:51:03you.
00:51:03Once I'm in
00:51:04control, you are
00:51:05going to have more
00:51:06than rubies.
00:51:07You're going to
00:51:07have everything.
00:51:07Okay, after he has
00:51:09Nathan's fortune, why
00:51:10would he need you
00:51:11anymore?
00:51:12If he wins, he
00:51:12won't need you.
00:51:13And when he doesn't
00:51:14need people, he
00:51:16discards them.
00:51:18Shut up.
00:51:18You touch her again
00:51:24and I'll put you
00:51:25on the ground
00:51:25myself.
00:51:26Lil, it is quite
00:51:27the feat.
00:51:28You have the two
00:51:29most influential men
00:51:30in the city wanting
00:51:31to keep you safe.
00:51:32Julian, just let
00:51:34Lil go.
00:51:34No.
00:51:36Not until I get
00:51:36what I want.
00:51:37What I deserve.
00:51:38I made him sign it.
00:51:39All of it is
00:51:43yours, right?
00:51:44You got what you
00:51:44wanted, so it's
00:51:46all mine.
00:51:48It's all mine, like
00:51:49it always should have
00:51:50been.
00:51:53Darren, you need
00:51:55to get out of the
00:51:56city.
00:51:57After you're gone, I
00:51:58will release your
00:51:58daughter, but not a
00:51:59second before.
00:52:02And you, I'm not
00:52:05finished with you
00:52:05yet.
00:52:06You see, the only
00:52:07way this contract is
00:52:08going to hold up is
00:52:09if you're dead.
00:52:16No.
00:52:20You fucking
00:52:21bitch.
00:52:23Nathan!
00:52:26Ethan, stay with
00:52:28me.
00:52:29Please, please,
00:52:29please, you're
00:52:30okay.
00:52:31But you have to
00:52:31be...
00:52:31He's finally
00:52:32dead.
00:52:32Please do
00:52:33something!
00:52:34He can't help
00:52:34you.
00:52:35Nobody can help
00:52:36you now.
00:52:37What?
00:52:38You still care
00:52:38about him?
00:52:38He didn't care
00:52:39about you, and
00:52:40neither do I.
00:52:41I guess that's
00:52:41what my brother
00:52:42and I have in
00:52:42common, huh?
00:52:43Neither of us
00:52:44wanted you.
00:52:45What?
00:52:45That's the truth.
00:52:46Oh, why would I?
00:52:47I have everything I
00:52:47need.
00:52:48What good is a
00:52:49disloyal, useless
00:52:50slut?
00:52:52But...
00:52:52But...
00:52:52But...
00:52:52But...
00:52:53You promised me!
00:52:54I lied.
00:52:55Should have
00:52:55believed Lil.
00:52:55She tried to warn
00:52:56you.
00:52:56You bastard!
00:52:57Ethan?
00:53:04Ethan?
00:53:05Oh my gosh.
00:53:06You're alive?
00:53:07How?
00:53:08Never bet against
00:53:10me.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11No, that's
00:53:11impossible.
00:53:13Well, if at first
00:53:14you don't succeed...
00:53:15No.
00:53:22No!
00:53:23No!
00:53:24No!
00:53:35How's the
00:53:35little luck?
00:53:36Let me take care
00:53:37of him.
00:53:38You'll never see
00:53:38or hear from him
00:53:39again.
00:53:40Get off me!
00:53:41I own Sterling
00:53:42Cork!
00:53:42You can't do
00:53:43this!
00:53:43Wait.
00:53:47Wait.
00:53:47No.
00:53:48Stop!
00:53:49No!
00:53:50No!
00:53:51No!
00:53:52Nathan, come
00:53:52please.
00:53:53I'm your
00:53:53brother.
00:53:54Come on.
00:53:55You were never
00:53:56a brother to me.
00:53:57You were always
00:53:58a parasite to
00:53:58the family name.
00:54:00No!
00:54:00No!
00:54:01No!
00:54:02No!
00:54:02Wait!
00:54:03Wait!
00:54:04Ah.
00:54:07I'm so
00:54:08sorry,
00:54:09Nathan.
00:54:10I hope we
00:54:11can put this
00:54:11behind us.
00:54:12Sure.
00:54:14Yeah, I'm not
00:54:15mad.
00:54:16But your
00:54:16family is.
00:54:17What?
00:54:18I called
00:54:18them and told
00:54:19them everything.
00:54:20The kidnapping,
00:54:21the betrayal,
00:54:22the fake
00:54:22engagement.
00:54:24They're
00:54:24disappointed,
00:54:25to say the
00:54:25least.
00:54:27What?
00:54:27Also, you're
00:54:28cut off
00:54:28financially.
00:54:29Forever.
00:54:30No.
00:54:31No, no,
00:54:32they wouldn't.
00:54:33They can't.
00:54:36Julian!
00:54:37Julian!
00:54:38Julian!
00:54:43I failed
00:54:46you both.
00:54:47You and
00:54:48your mother.
00:54:49All those
00:54:49years, all
00:54:51I did was
00:54:51take, but
00:54:52now I've
00:54:53got a chance
00:54:53to do
00:54:54something right
00:54:54by you.
00:54:55How?
00:54:56By letting
00:54:56you go.
00:54:58No conditions.
00:54:59You know,
00:54:59that's the first
00:55:00right thing you've
00:55:01done for me in a
00:55:01really long time.
00:55:03But thank you.
00:55:04I don't think I
00:55:05could have done it
00:55:05if I hadn't seen
00:55:06Nathan be willing
00:55:07to sacrifice his
00:55:08businesses and
00:55:09his life
00:55:09for you.
00:55:10I didn't even
00:55:11hesitate.
00:55:13That's how much
00:55:13she means to me.
00:55:14I know.
00:55:16I'm sorry I
00:55:17doubted you.
00:55:20Take good care
00:55:20of my daughter.
00:55:22You have my
00:55:22word.
00:55:26Goodbye,
00:55:27little luck.
00:55:29Bye, Dad.
00:55:39You sure you
00:55:44okay?
00:55:46We can go to
00:55:46the hospital just
00:55:47in case.
00:55:48You're the one
00:55:49that took a bullet
00:55:49to the heart.
00:55:50If anyone's going
00:55:51to the hospital,
00:55:52it's you.
00:55:56I'm glad her
00:55:57plan worked.
00:55:59Me too.
00:56:00He said that
00:56:01if I join him,
00:56:02he'll leave you
00:56:03alone.
00:56:06Okay.
00:56:06So he says
00:56:09he'll back
00:56:09off, but he's
00:56:10working with
00:56:11Julian, which
00:56:11means he's
00:56:12lying.
00:56:12I know.
00:56:15But what if
00:56:16we use what
00:56:16they both want
00:56:17against them?
00:56:18I'm listening.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:20Um, I agree
00:56:21to reunite with
00:56:22my father.
00:56:23He betrays
00:56:23Julian.
00:56:24Which would
00:56:24make Julian
00:56:25betray Darren.
00:56:26Exactly.
00:56:30At least
