00:00:00Hey, hey, get back here, get back here, get the fuck out of here, it's all good, you have
00:00:23a good knife on it, Clyde, you okay? Be a little more careful next time, right? Won't be there
00:00:30to save you. Wait, please don't go. I'm sorry, I don't have time, I need to, it's okay, I already
00:00:36have. Check the engraving, if you don't really believe that, it's yours. How did you? You
00:00:48stole it back from them, that's why they're chasing you, huh? Let me give you a ride.
00:00:53Thanks, but I don't really have anywhere to go. I'll take you anywhere you need to go.
00:00:57I'm good, thanks. Come on, trust me. Okay, wait, what the hell are you doing? This is kidnapping,
00:01:02what the hell do you think you're doing? I'm rewarding you for returning my property.
00:01:07Do you have any idea how much this watch is worth? 500 grand, probably new, 100 on the black market,
00:01:14200 if you know where to look. 100 grand would help you, wouldn't it? So, why didn't you take it?
00:01:20I'm not a thief. You're a pickpocket, but not a thief. Kind of an odd profession.
00:01:33What's your name? Lil?
00:01:35Don't you want to know my name? The name of your rescuer? You mean my kidnapper? Yeah,
00:01:47no, thanks. I'm good. Fine. Suit yourself. Let's go.
00:01:53Hey, Jerome. Good evening, Mr. Sterling. Wait, you're Nathan Sterling? The billionaire?
00:02:06Yes. Great. Would you lead our guest to her room? Yes, sir. Right this way, ma'am. Jerome,
00:02:15have Maison send over some clothes for Lil in the morning? Yes, sir. And Lil, be sure to shower. Right this way, ma'am. And here you are. If there's anything you need, just let me know.
00:02:27You know, this is actually the first girl you've let stay over. So, tell me about her.
00:02:45I don't know. She reminds me of a little mouse. These big eyes that see everything, but very twitchy.
00:02:53Do you even know what she likes to eat? Not a clue. I think she'd eat anything right about now.
00:03:01Cheese. That's what I like to eat. Nathan, you can pick your jaw up off the floor, Nathan.
00:03:10Good morning, Lil. How about a whip you up an almond? Yeah, that'd be amazing. If it's not too much trouble.
00:03:16No trouble at all. It's actually one of Mr. Sterling's favorites.
00:03:18You look... Clean? Different. Good different. So, look, you can stay here as long as you need to,
00:03:30okay? And then later on, I'll figure out what to do with you. Go. Thank you. Looks amazing.
00:03:39Just wait until you taste it.
00:03:46Hello? We are having a huge issue here at the casino.
00:03:51Uh, fine. I'll be there in 20 minutes.
00:03:54Sir, the situation is escalating.
00:03:57Okay, so do your job and find me.
00:03:59Sorry, I have an emergency at one of the card rooms I own. Just stay here, relax, until I get back.
00:04:04Can I come?
00:04:05You really want to?
00:04:09Okay. Yeah. Uh, get dressed. We'll leave in five.
00:04:12Oh, uh, I couldn't find any of my clothes this morning.
00:04:16Yeah. Uh, I had Jerome burn those. But, trust me, I did you a favor. There was no saving.
00:04:22Those were the only clothes that I had.
00:04:24What are these?
00:04:26No, this... This is too much. I can't.
00:04:29Yes, you can.
00:04:30Unless you want to go naked, of course.
00:04:32Okay.
00:04:35Uh, and don't make me regret this.
00:04:47No promises.
00:04:47Son of a bitch. What is going on here? Are you watching this?
00:05:01Everybody shut the hell up, please.
00:05:05What the fuck happened?
00:05:07Sir, 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. We just don't know how. He's up 750k.
00:05:22Uh, is it one of the dealers?
00:05:24No. No way. Every table has a different dealer.
00:05:27He isn't cheating.
00:05:28What?
00:05:29He 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.
00:05:38Yeah, exactly. He's not counting to win. He's counting to crush 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?
00:05:52I mean, you can afford it.
00:05:54Yeah, but I don't see...
00:05:56Okay, lend me the chips, and I'll get your money back.
00:06:01Go to the chips.
00:06:03But, sir...
00:06:03I am going to ruin his day.
00:06:10I've been watching this table.
00:06:13Let me go in now, and I will be right back.
00:06:33Split, please.
00:06:38Are you kidding?
00:06:40She has a six.
00:06:41You don't fucking split with that, idiot.
00:06:44Stan.
00:06:49Just get her 21!
00:06:56Fuck!
00:06:56I bet that he has a benefactor who fronted him all the money.
00:07:03Okay, find out whatever you can about him, please.
00:07:07Want a full report by Monday?
00:07:08Yes, sir.
00:07:13Look, you're obviously being targeted.
00:07:16Do you know anybody who would want to hurt your business, or...?
00:07:19I have a few ideas.
00:07:21What are we doing here?
00:07:30Eating.
00:07:34Yeah?
00:07:36But, 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.
00:07:44So, be grateful and order something.
00:07:47Look, what you did back there was very, very impressive.
00:07:54Where did you acquire such a unique set of skills?
00:07:57Oh.
00:07:59I mean, it was me and my mom, and we managed.
00:08:04Until she got sick.
00:08:06After that, I had to find a way to survive on my own.
00:08:11And then when she went to the hospital full-time,
00:08:14can'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...
00:08:32it'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 don't follow my lead, okay?
00:08:42All right.
00:08:43Nathan!
00:08:44I always try to drag you away from work at this time of day,
00:08:47but you always turn me down.
00:08:49Hello, Jane.
00:08:51An emergency at work got resolved.
00:08:53Quicker than I thought, so...
00:08:54Lil and I here are celebrating.
00:08:57Hmm.
00:08:59How wonderful.
00:09:00But it looks bad to be out with another woman
00:09:05at the same restaurant as your fiancée.
00:09:09Lil, was it?
00:09:10I'm Jane Lockhart, Nathan's fiancée.
00:09:13Hi.
00:09:14Mm-hmm.
00:09:15Pleasure.
00:09:17Lil and I were just about to eat,
00:09:19so I'll talk to you later.
00:09:21Fine.
00:09:22Call me when you get home.
00:09:24What?
00:09:28You're gonna become a workaholic after you marry her.
00:09:31Why is that?
00:09:32You're gonna find any excuse you can
00:09:35to never go home again.
00:09:38It's a family thing.
00:09:39It will never happen.
00:09:41What?
00:09:42Me marrying her?
00:09:44Well, I bet she's selling her family.
00:09:45It'll happen any day now, so...
00:09:48Lil, I want you to work for me.
00:09:52What?
00:09:54I want you to work for me.
00:09:56I'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...
00:10:03unique talents.
00:10:06Okay, well, I'm not a fan of being someone's project, so...
00:10:11No, I doubt I'll be able to make you do anything
00:10:13you don't want to do.
00:10:15Okay, well, what would my job title be?
00:10:20My personal assistant.
00:10:21Mm-hmm.
00:10:24What?
00:10:25Yeah.
00:10:26What about...
00:10:28Elite Administrative Liaison?
00:10:33Okay.
00:10:34That's just a fancy way of saying personal assistant.
00:10:39And you can stay with me until you find a place here.
00:10:43Deal?
00:10:46Okay.
00:10:46Deal.
00:10:47You'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?
00:11:05But on the last hand, they must have switched out the decks or something,
00:11:07because I lost.
00:11:10How much?
00:11:11All 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.
00:11:22What girl?
00:11:28Mr. Sterling, here are the documents you asked for.
00:11:31And your call to the commissioner has been confirmed for three o'clock.
00:11:34Great.
00:11:34Um, would you mind taking a little to HR and get her sorted?
00:11:39On it.
00:11:39Come on.
00:11:47Take a seat here, and Mr. Sterling will call when he needs you.
00:11:52Glad to have you on board.
00:12:00Fresh face.
00:12:01You new?
00:12:02Yeah.
00:12:03How'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.
00:12:11Have I seen it?
00:12:13What 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 he can take a day off.
00:12:21Brother?
00:12:21Half-brother.
00:12:23We can talk in my office so you don't continue harassing my employees.
00:12:26If you need anything, I'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.
00:12:46Thank you for coming in.
00:12:47Who the hell do you think you are?
00:12:56Excuse me?
00:12:57I asked who the fuck you think you are.
00:13:01You just cost me a five million dollar deal.
00:13:03I 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.
00:13:15You know,
00:13:16I 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?
00:13:27Fuck you.
00:13:36Nice work.
00:13:39You have a gift of seeing through people's bullshit.
00:13:42Thank you,
00:13:43Mr. Sterling.
00:13:44Call me Nathan.
00:13:47You're accompanying me to a charity auction tonight.
00:13:49That won't be a problem, will it?
00:13:55Of course not, Nathan.
00:13:58Good.
00:14:00And it's formal,
00:14:01so
00:14:02wear something for the occasion.
00:14:10Make sure it's done before the auction begins.
00:14:12I will, sir.
00:14:13If you fail this time,
00:14:14there will be severe consequences.
00:14:17Understood.
00:14:18I won't let you down.
00:14:19You look lovely tonight,
00:14:39little mouse.
00:14:40Look quite dashing yourself,
00:14:42Mr. Sterling.
00:14:43What did we
00:14:44discuss about you calling me that?
00:14:47Look,
00:14:47you're my boss,
00:14:48and I'm your employee.
00:14:53Not tonight,
00:14:54you're not.
00:15:01Nathan!
00:15:01Nathan!
00:15:02Nathan!
00:15:02Nathan!
00:15:02Nathan!
00:15:02Nathan!
00:15:03Nathan!
00:15:03Nathan!
00:15:03Nathan!
00:15:03Nathan!
00:15:04Nathan!
00:15:04Nathan!
00:15:04Nathan!
00:15:04Nathan!
00:15:05Nathan!
00:15:10I'll, uh,
00:15:11grab us some drinks.
00:15:14Say anything you like?
00:15:15I'm not sure yet.
00:15:18You should hint to my brother that you'd like that, uh,
00:15:22ruby necklace and bracelet set.
00:15:24I'm sure he wouldn't mind splurging on you.
00:15:25Yeah.
00:15:30It can't be.
00:15:35Come.
00:15:37Bidding's about to begin.
00:15:37You don't belong here.
00:15:41And I'll make sure you remember that.
00:15:50The ruby set?
00:15:52You're sure?
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:55I'm sure.
00:15:56Our next item is this lovely ruby necklace and bracelet set.
00:16:04Shall we start the bidding at $5 million?
00:16:08$5 million.
00:16:10Let's make things interesting.
00:16:11$10 million.
00:16:12$10 million.
00:16:13$20 million.
00:16:14$25 million.
00:16:15$50 million.
00:16:17$50 million.
00:16:19Going once.
00:16:21Going twice.
00:16:24Sold.
00:16:24$50 million.
00:16:31Our last item of the night is this delightful diamond-start brooch.
00:16:38Shall we start...
00:16:38$10 million.
00:16:40Uh...
00:16:40$10 million.
00:16:42$10 million going once.
00:16:45Going twice.
00:16:47Sold.
00:16:48For $10 million.
00:16:52Here.
00:16:54Okay.
00:16:58Yeah.
00:17:03Brother, why'd you overpay for that last piece?
00:17:06I thought my assistant needed a little token of my appreciation.
00:17:09Besides, she wears it well.
00:17:11Don't you think?
00:17:12She wears everything well.
00:17:15You know, I was going to buy that set.
00:17:18Was.
00:17:19I advise him against it.
00:17:20Why?
00:17:21Because they're fake.
00:17:24How dare you?
00:17:26You're just jealous.
00:17:28I bet you told Nathan you wanted these.
00:17:31She didn't.
00:17:32She told me those were fake.
00:17:35No, no, no, no.
00:17:36I...
00:17:36I paid.
00:17:38What?
00:17:39But, Nathan?
00:17:40If you thought they were fake, why did you bid on them?
00:17:42My brother donated them, and if word got out they were fake, it damaged the family name.
00:17:46They're not fake.
00:17:49Well, there's one way to find out.
00:17:51Mr. Mizan, would you mind indulging me for a moment?
00:17:55Certainly, Mr. Sterling.
00:17:57Would you mind taking a look at Miss Lockhart's latest purchase?
00:18:00Of course.
00:18:00Oh, my word.
00:18:05This is a forgery.
00:18:08How can this be?
00:18:10Doesn't this auction house authenticate every product they sell?
00:18:13Of course it does.
00:18:14Someone must have switched my real donation out with this fake one.
00:18:17It's possible.
00:18:19Well, I will have my staff review the CCTV and complete a full investigation.
00:18:25In the meantime, Julian, I think you should return Miss Lockhart's $50 million.
00:18:29Uh, until the real gems have been found, of course.
00:18:35It's only right.
00:18:36I don't, uh, I don't think that's, um...
00:18:38You can cover it, can't you?
00:18:40I mean, I'd hate to think your finances are as fake as those gems.
00:18:45Of course.
00:18:48Excuse me.
00:18:51Uh, Miss, may I take a closer look at your piece?
00:18:56Certainly.
00:18:59My word.
00:19:03Well, looks like the assistant got scammed, too.
00:19:07No, quite the opposite.
00:19:10In fact, this is a rare vintage piece that once belonged to the royal family of Nepal,
00:19:14rumored to have saved the life of a Nepali king.
00:19:17Wait, really?
00:19:18It can't be.
00:19:19I'm sure of it.
00:19:21Frankly, I'm quite surprised no one else even bid.
00:19:25That brooch is worth at least $25 million.
00:19:29And Nathan got it for a steal.
00:19:31I guess I had beginner's luck, huh?
00:19:34If you ever decide to sell, please contact me first.
00:19:37Will do.
00:19:40Come.
00:19:41Let's, uh, let's get out of here.
00:19:43Nathan!
00:19:44You have to help me fix this!
00:19:46Julian!
00:19:47Julian!
00:19:49Is that her?
00:19:50That's her, right?
00:19:52That's Lil?
00:19:52Maybe.
00:19:53I'm sure it's her.
00:19:58What's up?
00:19:59I'm gonna go get that bitch.
00:20:01Bro.
00:20:06How did you know that?
00:20:08Know what?
00:20:09About the rubies being fake.
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.
00:20:19So how the real ones would reflect light in a certain way.
00:20:21So a real ruby glows dark red.
00:20:24Fake one throws a rainbow light.
00:20:26Hmm.
00:20:27Uh, you must miss your mom.
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:30I wish I could have told her I met Maison tonight.
00:20:32He was her favorite designer.
00:20:35Second favorite.
00:20:37Who was her first?
00:20:38She always used to say me.
00:20:40I used to do sketches of jewelry for her.
00:20:42Really?
00:20:44You should show me sometime.
00:20:46I mean it.
00:20:50Um.
00:20:52See you in the morning.
00:20:54Oh, wait.
00:20:55Um.
00:20:56Could you help me with this?
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:00Ethan, I can't accept this.
00:21:16Sure you can.
00:21:18Little mouse.
00:21:23Um.
00:21:23I'm sorry.
00:21:24I'm, I'm tired.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:26I'm gonna head to bed.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:30Good night.
00:21:31Good night.
00:21:41My 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 clean up our mess at the casino.
00:21:53And this time, no slip-ups.
00:22:04Mr. Sterling, Mason sent over the security footage.
00:22:15Who's this guy?
00:22:20Wait a minute.
00:22:20This is the same guy that was counting cards in the casino a week ago.
00:22:25What a coincidence.
00:22:32Or not.
00:22:33Funny.
00:22:34Yeah.
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'm gonna take you somewhere.
00:22:45Where?
00:22:46I can't tell you that.
00:22:47I have a room of surprise.
00:22:50Come on.
00:22:51Unlike my brother, I know how to have fun.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:56Fine.
00:22:57Let's go.
00:23:11Julian.
00:23:12Why 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.
00:23:19Doesn't sound like he showed you a good time.
00:23:23Let's correct that.
00:23:41Shit.
00:23:44Poker.
00:23:45You 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.
00:23:51It's at this blackjack table.
00:23:56It's not the one where you have to get as close as you can to 21?
00:23:59Yes, without going over.
00:24:01Okay, let's play.
00:24:06Sir, they 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.
00:24:19She 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-
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's against five million dollars.
00:25:31Winner gets to keep Lil.
00:25:33Agreed?
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.
00:26:04Hey, 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.
00:26:22Agreed.
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?
00:26:40Well, you can tell me.
00:26:41I'll find out tonight anyway.
00:26:43That'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.
00:27:46We'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.
00:28:26Wait, 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 Wolf's going to do to us?
00:29:20What?
00:29:21Mr. Rhodes.
00:29:21I 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.
00:29:36Nathan.
00:29:36Now's not a good time.
00:29:38I'm sorry to hear that.
00:29:40Figured I'd swing by, save you the time to...
00:29:43Maybe sign that.
00:29:45It's the shares you lost to me.
00:29:46Uh, I'd have to look it over.
00:29:51Maybe we can come back.
00:29:53Read it.
00:29:55Now.
00:29:57I've got time.
00:29:58I can wait.
00:30:02Okay.
00:30:02You know what, I really should have my lawyer look this over.
00:30:11Totally understand.
00:30:13Gotcha.
00:30:15Call him.
00:30:15Your brother's not the only one you should be afraid of.
00:30:42Julian.
00:30:42Julian.
00:30:43Julian.
00:30:43Mr. Wolfe.
00:30:44Mr. 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 businesses are thriving.
00:30:56And 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?
00:31:35I'm still impressed.
00:31:36Should be.
00:31:37Nathan, darling.
00:31:41And what are you doing here in Nathan's house?
00:31:44Hey, cool it, please.
00:31:46She's just standing.
00:31:48I'm leaving.
00:31:49Will.
00:31:50It's a show.
00:31:50It's a show.
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.
00:32:01I thought we could have dinner, you know, since 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.
00:32:25Look, 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.
00:33:02I'll get you back, bitch.
00:33:05No one to protect you now.
00:33:08You think just because you are dressed in nice clothes, that makes you better than us?
00:33:12You are from the streets.
00:33:14Just like me.
00:33:15You know, there are a few people after you, willing to pay big bucks.
00:33:22Julian Rhodes, I suppose?
00:33:23Yup.
00:33:24I could turn you over to him, too.
00:33:28He can't pay you.
00:33:29He's broke.
00:33:32There'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.
00:33:48Who?
00:33:50Is that...
00:33:51You tell him.
00:33:54This is war.
00:33:57Okay.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:58Huh?
00:34:04Come on, God.
00:34:05I heard about what happened.
00:34:06Are you guys all right?
00:34:07Uh, a bit shaken, but you're fine.
00:34:10All right?
00:34:11Yeah.
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...
00:34:23It doesn't hurt.
00:34:26Uh, Jerome?
00:34:26Yes?
00:34:27Can we get a 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.
00:34:49Well, 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.
00:35:07You know, weren'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.
00:36:00What are you talking about?
00:36:04Did your mother even know he was this one?
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.
00:36:17I mean, she knew that he was trying to find us,
00:36:19but we moved around a lot.
00:36:22Until she got too sick.
00:36:24What would he want with you now?
00:36:27Whatever it is, it'll be criminal.
00:36:30And I'll have something to do with your business.
00:36:32Which is why I have to leave.
00:36:33No, no.
00:36:35Hey.
00:36:35I 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.
00:36:52Officially.
00:36:53You did?
00:36:54Yeah.
00:36:55Well, 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.
00:37:12What are we going to do about my father?
00:37:32I won't let anything happen to you.
00:37:41Nathan, we need a plan.
00:37:50I have a plan.
00:37:52Okay, good.
00:37:53No, no, no.
00:37:55Nathan, we're going to be late for work.
00:37:56No way.
00:37:58We're taking a personal day.
00:38:00How personal?
00:38:01Very, very personal.
00:38:10Yes, of course the engagement's still on.
00:38:13Nathan's just been really busy at work lately.
00:38:18He'll call.
00:38:20Of course he will.
00:38:21We're really looking forward to dinner.
00:38:22I'll check with him and confirm.
00:38:26Bye.
00:38:28Long time no see, Jane.
00:38:31You 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 lowly as his scent.
00:38:52Easy.
00:38:54Easy.
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?
00:39:13Imagine 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.
00:39:35Well, your wish is not going to end.
00:39:43Hey, Will.
00:39:45Look, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.
00:39:47Too fast.
00:39:48Now 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.
00:40:05Help me.
00:40:07Or Nathan's going to toss you out on the street like trash.
00:40:11I'd always keep you around.
00:40:1424 hours long.
00:40:31Disappointing.
00:40:32You know, at least my P.I. 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.
00:41:11I truly hope you're coming to a winning side, Lil.
00:41:19We could use...
00:41:20You were saying?
00:41:23Uh, I was looking for...
00:41:25Yeah, she's not here.
00:41:26Nathan, I, uh...
00:41:28Left something last time you were here.
00:41:30Stay away from Lil.
00:41:33And we'll ask nicely next time.
00:41:36Invest in a better P.I. 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.
00:42:06Lil' luck.
00:42:08Don't call me that.
00:42:10Come on.
00:42:11Just get in the car, please.
00:42:13For old time's sake.
00:42:30Well, you've changed.
00:42:32But those eyes...
00:42:34Just like your mother's.
00:42:36Don't ever bring her up.
00:42:39I know I should have done things differently.
00:42:42But now that I've found you again,
00:42:44it's time for you to become
00:42:45the person you were always meant to be.
00:42:49My right hand.
00:42:51Partner in name.
00:42:53Air in truth.
00:42:56It was always supposed to be you, Lil.
00:42:58You 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.
00:43:41What would mom think
00:43:42about 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?
00:43:50He 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.
00:44:07What are you doing?
00:44:15I'm attempting to cook.
00:44:18Why is Jerome always off when I need him?
00:44:23You all right?
00:44:24What's wrong?
00:44:26No, yeah.
00:44:26Um, I'm just scared.
00:44:29I hate not knowing what's going to happen next.
00:44:32You have nothing to worry about.
00:44:34Okay?
00:44:36I'll protect you.
00:44:38All right?
00:44:42I can't let my father hurt you.
00:44:45Even if it means losing you.
