00:00Mr. President, after winning the presidential election, your first stop as a state president?
00:14Milo, we are here to see a very important man.
00:17In fact, so important that he helped decide the presidential election victory for us.
00:23Oh, here he comes now.
00:30Mr. S, it's an honor to finally meet you in person.
00:40After all, you helped decide the victory for the presidential election and single-handedly built the Enros group from the ground up.
00:49So you're waiting for the most mysterious mastermind who built the Enros group?
00:53You're waiting for the man who runs the most powerful financial empire, Mr. S.
00:58No worries, Donald. It wasn't a big deal. Besides, I've been meaning to take down your opponents for years.
01:04GAO Defense Systems.
01:06So is that why you went to prison six years ago?
01:09No. My girlfriend got into some trouble and couldn't let an innocent woman go to jail.
01:15Took the fall myself.
01:16I see. But I still don't understand. Your prison sentence ends tomorrow.
01:22Why go through a parole application just to get out one day early?
01:26Well, sir, six years ago, I promised that I would propose to my girl on this very day.
01:31A man of my word.
01:32So, sir, I got a right to catch. I'll keep in touch.
01:35There he is.
01:52Look at this guy. Great news.
01:55Miss Davis is finally on Mirror Media's radar, one of the top media companies in the country.
01:59And thanks to your support, they actually made her the director of the news.
02:03They're even having an inauguration ball for her tonight.
02:06Every major player in the industry is going to be there.
02:08Isabella's always wanted to be a world-famous journalist.
02:11Warren, let's give her that final push tonight.
02:13I want you to personally deliver my exclusive interview rights to her at the gala.
02:17And, Warren, this won't just be an interview.
02:18I'm going to ask her to marry me and reveal the truth that Mr. S, the man behind Enrose's group,
02:26the one who's been guiding her career every step of the way, opening up every door,
02:30has been me all along.
02:36Um, I'll have all the specials, please.
02:39All right. Right away.
02:41Whether you like it or not, Freya, this marriage is happening.
02:46Really, Preston?
02:47We both know this marriage is just your play to swallow at my company, Mirror Media.
02:51So what if it is?
02:52I mean, this marriage is already a done deal.
02:54Both of our families have made that choice, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
02:58And your precious Mirror Media is as good as mine.
03:02You're mean! Stop yelling at my mommy! I don't want her to marry you!
03:05Shut it, you little bastard! Nobody asked you!
03:11Who says I don't have a daddy? He's my daddy!
03:27Uh, kiddo, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else.
03:32Lossa, what are you talking about? Come back here.
03:35I'm so sorry, sir. She must have thought you were someone else.
03:38No, Mommy, I didn't get it wrong. He's my daddy.
03:44Hey, jerk! My dad's back now.
03:47You better watch out. I'll knock your teeth out.
03:50I told you to shut it, you little brat, or I will rip that mouth right off your face!
03:57Must be real tough going after a little girl, huh?
04:01Back off.
04:01Who the hell are you?
04:08You know what, how about this? How about you stay out of it?
04:11Because it's none of your damn business.
04:13And Freya, how about you control your kid before she ropes in this street trash fresh out of prison who's wanting to play daddy?
04:22You know what, Preston? Who I marry is none of your business. But let me be clear. It will never be you.
04:29Fine. But I swear to you, Freya, I will make you regret those words. And you are not gonna like how this ends.
04:38Elsa's never known her father. She's put up with snide remarks her whole life.
04:46Maybe it's time I find her a dad. In one move, I could finally shut my family up and keep Mirror Media in my own hands.
04:52I know this might sound crazy, but you helped my daughter just now. And, um, will you marry me? Be my husband?
05:05I know this sounds crazy, but I can make it worth your while. I can pay you one million dollars a month and a Bugatti as a signing bonus.
05:14Ma'am, uh, that is a very tempting offer, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to turn you down.
05:22You see, I already have a girlfriend and, well, I plan on proposing tonight.
05:28Is she prettier than my mommy?
05:30I am so sorry for her and my own reckless offer.
05:36Congratulations. I'm sure your proposal will go perfectly.
05:41Come on.
05:44Your dessert's ready, sir.
05:50Wait, what? The top three media companies are teaming up against Mirror Media?
05:54And they're dragging my personal life into this? Who's behind this?
05:57It's Preston Norton. I double-checked. The Nortons are one of the most powerful families in the country.
06:03Easily the richest in the state. We're helpless against them.
06:06Preston, you son of a... Brooke, we're out of options.
06:09There might be one person left who could help us. The boss of Enros Group.
06:13Mr. S.
06:15They need my help.
06:17I know, I know. We're nobody's to a guy like that, but reach out. Whatever he wants, I'll do it.
06:26Mr. Handsome, please save my mommy.
06:30Uh, sorry for listening to your phone call, but, um, maybe I can help.
06:36You?
06:38Consider it an apology for turning down your proposal.
06:44Notpaying.
06:48Warren, um, I need you to find and delete every negative post about the CEO...
06:54Um.
06:55Sorry, your name again?
06:57Uh, Freya Sterling.
07:01Uh, Freya Sterling?
07:03And scrub every platform clean of any smears against her or Mirror Media.
07:07and Warren, let's leak some dirt on the Nortons.
07:10Remind them who really runs things around here.
07:18It's all taken care of.
07:20You're joking, right?
07:22Just with one phone call, just like that?
07:27This guy's just some random guy on parole.
07:29There's no way he actually fixed anything.
07:31Probably bluffing so he doesn't look weak
07:33in front of me and Elsa.
07:35I get it, Ms. Sterling, I know it sounds unbelievable,
07:37but yeah, just give it a moment.
07:41You'll like the surprise.
07:42Oh, and yep, that's my cue, my girlfriend's here.
07:54What are we doing here again?
07:55Do you remember that guy like six years ago
07:57went to jail for me?
07:59Yeah, ew.
08:01Isabella?
08:02Cassius, good, you're right on time.
08:05We're done.
08:09Wait, what?
08:11Are you serious?
08:12I just finished my sentence.
08:14We can finally be together.
08:16I picked up your favorite dessert.
08:20Are you trying to get me fat?
08:23Do you really think I want to eat cheap junk like that?
08:26Get lost, Cassius.
08:27You're a broke, jobless loser with a criminal record.
08:31Isabella's way out of your league.
08:32Isabella, where is this coming from?
08:37I'm about to be head of news at Mere Media.
08:40Isabella, that's 20 million a year.
08:43I'm not wasting my time on gutter trash that can easily be sent back into the slammer at any moment.
08:48That's why you're breaking up with me?
08:52Six years ago, you were the one caught red-handed with stolen goods.
08:56I took the fall for you.
08:57Blah, blah, freaking blah.
08:59You volunteered.
09:01Nobody forced you to do it.
09:02Honestly, you're lucky that you got to sacrifice yourself for Isabella.
09:06Just stop with the sob story, Cassius.
09:08I know what you're really here for.
09:11A payout.
09:12Well, here.
09:13Take it.
09:19You think I give a shit about the money?
09:21Isabella, how do you think that someone with zero connections just stumbled their way into exclusive interviews year after year?
09:27Everything you have...
09:28Is because I worked my ass off to get here.
09:32I certainly didn't need any of your help.
09:35And whose help did you need, Isabella?
09:38You really want to know.
09:40Freya Sterling, CEO of Mirror Media.
09:44Freya, that's the woman I just helped.
09:55Just wait, Mom.
09:56There's no way that handsome guy was lying.
10:03Miss Sterling, you're not going to believe it.
10:05Every smear post about you and Mirror Media is gone.
10:08All of it vanished.
10:10What?
10:11What?
10:12That's incredible.
10:19Freya, how did you get that dirt on my family?
10:21Our stock just plummeted 80%.
10:23It was you, wasn't it?
10:25I'm going to get you for this.
10:27See?
10:28I told you he's awesome.
10:29Like superhero level awesome.
10:31I wish you were my real dad.
10:33Crushed the Norton stock by 80%.
10:35Who is this guy?
10:38Oh, you see that?
10:41Miss Sterling sent that card just for me.
10:44You'll never get such a nice ride in your whole miserable broke life.
10:47What happened to you?
10:51Six years ago, you didn't give a shit about my status when you were saving me.
10:55Now you're so shallow and money obsessed.
10:59People change.
11:00With Miss Sterling's help, I'm part of the elite now.
11:03You have a criminal record, so you could never get a proper job.
11:06And besides, six years ago, I wasn't the one who saved you.
11:11Wait, what?
11:12You weren't the one who saved my life?
11:17No, of course not, idiot.
11:19Six years ago, when I worked at the hotel, I just snuck into your room to get some extra cash.
11:24It was you who woke up and started blabbing about devoting the rest of your life to me.
11:31I mean, okay, you weren't completely useless, though.
11:34I mean, thanks for going to prison for me, Cassius.
11:36I wouldn't be here today without you.
11:42Did anyone follow you?
11:44No.
11:45No, I don't think so.
11:47Cassius, I didn't steal anything.
11:49I'm so scared.
11:50I don't want to go to jail.
11:51Hey.
11:54It's going to be okay.
11:55You know, I'm going to tell them that I did it.
11:59I'm going to take your place.
12:02Cassius!
12:04I don't know what to say.
12:06Thank you!
12:07I'm going to marry you, okay?
12:10You save me first, okay?
12:11I'm going to handle this for you, and when I get out, I'm going to give you the life
12:17you always dreamed of.
12:24See you never, dumbass.
12:28So you lied to me.
12:30Oh, lied, please.
12:31I didn't make you do anything.
12:33And I don't know who rescued you.
12:35Probably some nobody I wouldn't let polish my shoes.
12:41Hey, what happened to you?
12:45Ugh, get your filthy hands off of me.
12:48I have a gala to get to.
12:50I'm done talking to you.
12:51Six years.
13:04Six years wasted.
13:07All those sleepless nights.
13:10What a joke.
13:12But who was it who saved me six years ago?
13:15Mr. Handsome!
13:16You saved my mommy today, right?
13:21I do want to thank you.
13:22You saved me twice today.
13:25Can I at least get your name?
13:28Cassius Adams.
13:31Handsome guy, where is your girlfriend?
13:34Did she dump you?
13:35Elsa, he's going to propose.
13:38Nuh-uh.
13:39Look, his cake's on the ground.
13:41He totally just got dumped.
13:42Looks like we got a smart little detective, huh?
13:46My offer still stands.
13:47We could get married today, right now.
13:50Miss Sterling,
13:52as you can see,
13:53I'm just a convict on parole.
13:56Why would you want to marry me?
13:58You don't care about your public image?
14:00I don't care about that.
14:02You stepped in and saved two strangers today
14:04without hesitating.
14:05That's the kind of man
14:06that will build his own empire one day.
14:08And I'd be proud to stand by him
14:10as a wife and a partner.
14:12Okay.
14:17I will marry you.
14:19And as your husband and Elsa's father,
14:22I promise that no one
14:23will dare harm you two ever again.
14:25Yay!
14:26I have a daddy!
14:33Cassius,
14:34my gala's tonight,
14:35and I want you by my side.
14:37I've arranged a car and my stylist
14:38to help you look the part.
14:40I'm going to meet up with you
14:41after I wrap up things in the office.
14:43Sounds perfect.
14:45I'll see you too there.
14:46I'll see you next time.
14:53I'll see you next time.
14:54I'm going to meet you.
14:54I'll see you next time.
14:55Congratulations, Miss Davis, handpicked by Miss Sterling
15:23to lead Mirror Media's news division, and at such a young age.
15:28You're so incredibly honored.
15:31And it's all because of Mrs. Sterling's belief in me.
15:34A toast to her.
15:44Cassius?
15:46What the hell is he doing here?
15:53Cassius! Move!
15:57Don't think that just because you're dressed up all fancy that you're part of the elite.
16:01This is a high society event, not a prison yard. Get out!
16:06Cassius invites were sent out to the social elite, not jobless losers like you.
16:14How the hell did you even sneak in here anyways?
16:17Sneak in?
16:20Oh, hardly.
16:21Freya sent a driver for me, and uh, didn't mention anything about needing an invitation.
16:32Okay, you've officially lost it.
16:35Do you actually expect us to believe that Freya personally sent you a driver to Isabella's gala?
16:43Are you nuts?
16:45Cassius, I don't know how to get it through your little head.
16:48We're done!
16:50Over!
16:52Why don't you just leave before I have to throw you out on the street?
16:55Oh, Isabella.
16:57I'm not here for you.
16:58And this is Freya's gala.
17:00And trust me, she does not mind that I'm here.
17:03Cassius, do you know who you're speaking about?
17:06Freya Sterling isn't just a CEO.
17:09She's the queen of news.
17:11How the hell would she know some broke loser who just got out of prison?
17:16Hmm.
17:17Yeah, that's a good question.
17:18Um, why don't you ask her when she gets here?
17:28Miss Sterling, we tried everything.
17:30We found that Mr. Adams turned himself in for theft six years ago, but that's it.
17:35And now we're getting direct warnings from the CIA director himself to back off.
17:40So my brand new husband has a past that even I can't reach.
17:46Cassius Adams, I'm gonna find out exactly who you are.
17:50Cassius!
17:52Cassius, don't you think that you're taking these jokes of yours too far?
17:55But everything I've said is the truth?
17:58Cassius, once Miss Sterling learns about the disrespectful lies you've been spewing,
18:03there won't be a single corner of this entire country that you can hide in.
18:07Oh, wow.
18:08Freya's that scary?
18:09I didn't realize.
18:10That's enough.
18:11Freya Sterling is the real deal.
18:14Filth like you need to keep her name out of your mouth.
18:17I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
18:19Isabella, I am willing to let things slide.
18:24But trust me, you don't want to push me.
18:30First, you sneak in here without an invitation and then you attack my sister?
18:36Oh, you've been in prison so long, you forgot your manners.
18:39When your sister tries to hit me, it's justice.
18:41But when I try to defend myself, I'm a barbarian?
18:45Isabella, you can't have journalistic integrity with that kind of bias.
18:49Careful.
18:50Keep it up and you might lose your job.
18:55Shut your goddamn mouth, you stupid fucking clown.
18:59Miss Davis is Miss Sterling's protege.
19:02If her sister strikes you, you turn the other cheek.
19:05Got it?
19:06Insolent fool.
19:09Get out before we throw you out ourselves.
19:12Hey, buddy.
19:14You're all your ass out of here.
19:16Yeah, don't push your luck.
19:18You wouldn't want us to get our hands dirty.
19:20Let's be nice for Miss Davis' sake.
19:23There's 200 grand on this card.
19:27Pick it up with your teeth and crawl out of here.
19:31Don't push your teeth out of here.
19:39Don't push me apart.
19:42You're all your ass out of here.
19:52Did you hear her?
19:54She said, pick it up with your mouth and we'll let you out in one piece.
19:59piece. Yeah, how about no? Well, if you don't want to do this the easy way, then I'll...
20:08Isabella is just a little reporter who happened to catch Frey's attention. Is she really worth
20:16all this trouble? Why is all of high society swooping into safety? You don't get it, you
20:20loser. I see that shackle on you. You're just another hobo out on parole.
20:29Hey, Cassius, get your filthy ass off Miss Sterling's throne. Oh, this is Freya's chair?
20:41No, I'll stay. Cassius, this is your last warning. When Miss Sterling finds out what you've done,
20:47you'll be dead. You can't afford to piss her off. Actually, I can afford just about anything in
20:52this world. Quit bluffing. Do you really think that you're better than Miss Sterling? Yeah,
20:58maybe you do have some good journalistic instincts that's normal.
21:04Shut up! The only reason these people here are indulging in your little act is because of me.
21:09Otherwise, you'd be thrown out on the street by now. My word, and they'll have you beaten bloody
21:15and dumped out. Isabella, I don't think you realize who you just hit me. I'm done with your bullshit,
21:22Cassius. Mr. Whitmore, call security. Have them break his legs and dump him out. Right away,
21:27Miss Davis. Security, I need all hands on deck in the banquet hall. Now. Break this clown's legs
21:38and throw him out the door. The CEO of Mirror Media is here.
21:42Stop!
21:59Stop!
22:01Stop!
