00:00:00Alex! Alex! Man down! We have a man down! We need backup now!
00:00:13Colt, you guys are surrounded, man. Just get out of here.
00:00:17Looks like you won the bet.
00:00:20Alright, we're getting out of here together.
00:00:24Take this.
00:00:26You are the best of the best.
00:00:28Promise me, get back home.
00:00:33Protect my sister, Victoria.
00:00:35The Kingsley family is a snake pit.
00:00:38You have to protect her.
00:00:40It was an honor serving with you.
00:00:47Alex!
00:00:55Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:00:58I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance, the country's largest veterans network.
00:01:04The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared, and respected across the world.
00:01:10But I chose a much simpler post.
00:01:13Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:01:16Keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:01:19To protect Victoria.
00:01:21Morning, boss.
00:01:42Morning, boss.
00:01:42After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:01:44After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:01:48After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:02:02No more hiding my identity.
00:02:07Yo, Cole.
00:02:07Looking sharp as ever.
00:02:09You think we'll get a slice of that wedding cake?
00:02:12Hiring Mrs. Kingsley is marrying some rich bastard with trust fund money.
00:02:14At least they can do what's giving us some good food and booze.
00:02:18Less talk.
00:02:20More work.
00:02:21What work?
00:02:22It's not our fault they sent us to do some patrol to some empty church.
00:02:25Look around, man.
00:02:27Not a soul in sight.
00:02:29Even the stray cats around here have better things to do.
00:02:35I'll take that back.
00:02:37Our bride's rolling up.
00:02:38Showtime, baby.
00:02:39Showtime, baby.
00:02:39Showtime, baby.
00:02:39Showtime, baby.
00:02:39Showtime, baby.
00:02:41Showtime, baby.
00:02:44Skip the speeches, no pictures, no champagne power.
00:03:06I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:03:07Um, boss, nobody's here.
00:03:13Not even the groom.
00:03:17Where is everyone?
00:03:18I just got word the groom's backed out.
00:03:21He said...
00:03:22Said what?
00:03:25He said that if you're the one that Tristan Vann wants, no man in the city will dare to marry you.
00:03:30Tell Tristan to leave me the hell alone.
00:03:34That idiot doesn't get to decide how I live my life.
00:03:37But, boss, the deadline for your marriage is coming up.
00:03:40If you don't get married soon, then they'll...
00:03:42Take back my parents' company, right?
00:03:45My parents might be dead, and my brother might have gone missing, but no one's touching our family business.
00:03:51Congratulations on the wedding, Ms. Kingsley.
00:04:07Who are you?
00:04:09Cole Slade.
00:04:10You married?
00:04:11No.
00:04:12Girlfriend?
00:04:13Also no.
00:04:14Good.
00:04:15Then you can marry me.
00:04:24Sorry, no can do.
00:04:29It's purely transactional.
00:04:31I'll pay you a salary for every month that you're my husband.
00:04:3420K.
00:04:35How does that sound?
00:04:37After a year, we can get divorced.
00:04:40Still no.
00:04:42Do you know who I am?
00:04:44I'm Victoria Kingsley, CEO of Kingsley Tech.
00:04:51Fine.
00:04:52Name your price.
00:04:54I know who you are, Ms. Kingsley.
00:04:55That's exactly why I can't marry you.
00:04:58You're the sister of my best friend.
00:04:59Someone I swore to protect.
00:05:01Not everything is girlfriend.
00:05:03Seriously?
00:05:04You're a goddamn security guard.
00:05:05You have no right to turn down my boss.
00:05:08No, no.
00:05:09It's fine.
00:05:11I'll handle this.
00:05:12You try to put out the fires with my family.
00:05:33Tristan Vann.
00:05:35Kingsley's arch nemesis.
00:05:37What is he doing here?
00:05:52Move the car, dog.
00:05:53Alex, I can't do this anymore.
00:06:04Where are you?
00:06:07Oh, Vicky.
00:06:08I heard you're in the market for a groom.
00:06:13Alex, looks like your sister's in trouble.
00:06:15Who the hell let you in here?
00:06:21Victoria Kingsley.
00:06:23You know how much I love you.
00:06:27Marry me.
00:06:28And you know I'd rather die than marry you.
00:06:32Oh, baby.
00:06:32But then...
00:06:34You lose Kingsley Corp.
00:06:37Newsflash.
00:06:37Every man in the city knows you're mine.
00:06:40No one's gonna marry you, sweet cheeks.
00:06:44It's either me or nothing.
00:06:48Your ass is mine.
00:06:51Not in a million years, you scumbag.
00:06:54You think I don't know?
00:06:56You're just after the quantum chip tech my parents left behind.
00:06:59And marrying me happens to be the fastest, cleanest way to get your hands on it.
00:07:03Fine.
00:07:03You caught me.
00:07:07Well then, let's make this marriage official.
00:07:11Get off me!
00:07:15Go ahead.
00:07:16Scream your little heart out.
00:07:26Yo, where the hell are you going?
00:07:27I'm going in.
00:07:30No man is brave enough to play savior from this kingdom.
00:07:33I am.
00:08:03Who the fuck are you?
00:08:06Leave him alone.
00:08:07He has nothing to do with this.
00:08:09This guy must have a death wish.
00:08:12You think you can come in here and play hero?
00:08:16Do you know who the fuck I am?
00:08:19I don't give a shit who you are.
00:08:21Victoria is my fiance.
00:08:23You marry Victoria Kingsley.
00:08:30Don't make me laugh.
00:08:32That's right.
00:08:33We're getting married and there's nothing you can do to change that, Tristan.
00:08:36Sorry, buddy.
00:08:38When you're going out on a body bag, Victoria is mine.
00:08:43Kill this cocky piece of shit.
00:08:45Let's go.
00:08:46You can't just be a security guard.
00:09:13But I am.
00:09:25Easy there, bud.
00:09:26I don't get too trigger happy.
00:09:28And your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:09:31You want to fight?
00:09:33Try someone your own size.
00:09:34You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:09:35But I'll give you that.
00:09:38Do you think this shit scares me?
00:09:42Kingsley Banquets tonight?
00:09:44I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:09:51Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:09:53Is that a threat?
00:09:54No.
00:09:55Just the truth.
00:09:57The Kingsleys are broke, Vicky.
00:09:59You think this runicops is going to fix that?
00:10:07Well, if I can't fix it.
00:10:10Think of this one.
00:10:12No, no, no.
00:10:13If you kill me, the Kingsleys are finished.
00:10:18We'll see about that.
00:10:20Fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:10:21We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:10:24David, please, don't kill me.
00:10:31Get the fuck out.
00:10:38Thanks for saving me just now.
00:10:40You okay?
00:10:43Cole.
00:10:54Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:11:00Will you marry me?
00:11:04Marry you?
00:11:05You've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck.
00:11:09And you want me to marry you?
00:11:11Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:11:14You're right.
00:11:15It's too much to ask.
00:11:16But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:11:34So yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:11:38Really?
00:11:39Let's go make it official.
00:11:41Alex, if marrying your sister is the only way to protect her, then I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:11:46I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:11:48Let's go.
00:11:53Oh my god, boss, you did it.
00:11:54You really did it.
00:11:56This means you saved your parents' company.
00:11:58Yes, yes.
00:11:59Keep your voice down, Emily.
00:12:01By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:12:05You're coming with me.
00:12:06Your call.
00:12:08And?
00:12:12Here's a hundred grand.
00:12:13I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:12:18Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsley's.
00:12:21Got it?
00:12:22But boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:12:28Let's just hope it works.
00:12:30I've got to get back to the office.
00:12:34Alex, you're right.
00:12:36Kingsley family really is a s*** pet.
00:12:40Yeah, it's me.
00:12:42Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:12:45Oh.
00:12:47Make it big.
00:12:47Okay.
00:12:47Make it big.
00:12:57Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of your father, Alistair.
00:13:04It's very impressive.
00:13:05It's just another small win for the family.
00:13:07Nothing to brag about.
00:13:28Mr. Kingsley, to many more years of good health and fortune.
00:13:32How's Father Alistair?
00:13:34I've been praying for him.
00:13:37I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:13:41He's fine.
00:13:44Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shiny.
00:13:50What is it?
00:13:51Jesus!
00:13:52That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:13:57Last I heard, it was going for three million.
00:13:59That is a very generous gift.
00:14:01Three million?
00:14:02That's got to be worth at least five.
00:14:04Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:14:06A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:14:09That's too bad.
00:14:10Because Miss Victoria has given a heart to someone else.
00:14:15Has she?
00:14:16Who is that with Victoria?
00:14:38Her security guard.
00:14:42Wow.
00:14:44The mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather, Alistair Kingsley, is sick.
00:14:49I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:14:53Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:14:55I guess Victoria's lost it.
00:14:58Victoria, who is this?
00:15:00Uncle, this is Cole Slade.
00:15:02My husband.
00:15:04Husband.
00:15:07You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:15:09You're young.
00:15:10You know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:15:12This isn't a tantrum.
00:15:14And it's not about money, either.
00:15:17I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:15:20Wow.
00:15:22Now that you're married, niece?
00:15:24Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:15:29You know, this is a family banquet.
00:15:32You didn't come empty-handed, did you?
00:15:34Tristan brought a 5 mil revolver for Grandpa.
00:15:37What about you, Vicky?
00:15:39What did you bring?
00:15:40Oh, shoot.
00:15:41I only gave Cole 100 grand.
00:15:43Tristan dropped 5 mil?
00:15:45We're screwed.
00:15:47Of course we did.
00:15:55Cole, you actually brought something?
00:15:59Of course we brought a gift.
00:16:00Well, let's see what he's got.
00:16:02Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:16:04What is this?
00:16:20Seriously.
00:16:22That's the gift?
00:16:23It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance bin.
00:16:26Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:16:32You can't just phone it in.
00:16:33But a security guard is a security guard.
00:16:38Cole, I thought I gave you 100 grand.
00:16:40House.
00:16:41Now, are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:16:45Go on.
00:16:48I'm listening.
00:16:49Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:16:52Let me guess.
00:16:53My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:16:59Let the kid talk.
00:17:01This is the Shadow Alliance badge.
00:17:06Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:17:09Oh, my gosh.
00:17:12The Shadow Alliance holds sway over government and the criminal underworld.
00:17:16They practically learn to hold lots.
00:17:18With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that trans-Pacific trade route permit they've been dreaming about for years.
00:17:26Wait.
00:17:27Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:29You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:17:36Who are you and what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:17:39I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:17:42This badge is my ID.
00:17:45It carries my authority.
00:17:46This rent-a-cop, the founder of the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:51Don't make me laugh.
00:17:53Vicky, your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:17:57Yo, security guy.
00:17:58Do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:18:02Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lives to cover it up?
00:18:07Of course not, Victoria.
00:18:09Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:18:12Get out.
00:18:13And don't show your face around here again, especially in front of your grandfather.
00:18:21This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:18:27You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:18:30But luckily, I brought back up.
00:18:37Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art.
00:18:41So I had my people send this over right away.
00:18:42The original Mona Lisa.
00:18:53So what do you think?
00:18:55A little more to your liking?
00:18:57This can't be real.
00:19:00That painting is worth ten billion.
00:19:06Mission accomplished.
00:19:10Wait, boss, didn't you just give him a hundred grand?
00:19:13Where did the ten billion come from?
00:19:15I have no idea.
00:19:17This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:19:20Might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:19:22What's the point?
00:19:25You ran him off.
00:19:26Oh, Mr. Slade is a very generous man.
00:19:31What are you waiting for?
00:19:33Go chase after him.
00:19:35Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:19:37Having gold diggers as family is humiliating.
00:19:52Ten billion blown.
00:19:57Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:20:00A bunch of money-hungry jackasses.
00:20:04Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:20:08Really?
00:20:09A guy who could pull out ten billion without blinking is eating this?
00:20:14Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:20:19Get in.
00:20:20So, where are we going?
00:20:34Home.
00:20:36Whoa.
00:20:37We've been a little quick, aren't we?
00:20:40I'm cooking.
00:20:41Just figured I'd thank you properly.
00:20:45Hold on.
00:20:46Okay.
00:20:46Victoria Kingsley.
00:20:48In the kitchen.
00:20:49Wow.
00:20:50Okay, you know what?
00:20:51I'm going to have to record this just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:20:55Buy my phone.
00:20:57Ugh, shut up.
00:20:59Buckle up.
00:21:03This used to be my parents' place.
00:21:05Security is solid.
00:21:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:21:08I'm going to go change.
00:21:09How's steak sound?
00:21:26Wow, you actually cook.
00:21:29I thought you just signed checks.
00:21:32There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:21:33That $10 billion, where did it actually come from?
00:21:41Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:21:46Me?
00:21:46No, it was...
00:21:47Are you crazy?
00:21:55Security is solid, huh?
00:22:16How did you know this place was bugged?
00:22:21Occupational hazard?
00:22:23Security guard's supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:22:26A security guard who throws around $10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:22:32I'll pay you back soon.
00:22:33Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the big Golden Coast somewhere at the Maple Hill to decide on the next big partnership.
00:22:49That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:22:52The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:22:57You're telling me this little thing's that powerful?
00:23:00We'll see.
00:23:01Fine.
00:23:02I owe you.
00:23:05Twice.
00:23:06Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:23:08And our marriage, which, by the way...
00:23:11What?
00:23:13Is a contract.
00:23:15So, we need rules.
00:23:19I'm listening.
00:23:21Rule number one, stay out of each other's love lives.
00:23:25Fair.
00:23:26Rule number two, my place isn't safe anymore.
00:23:29Where my grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:23:32So, we act like the perfect couple.
00:23:38Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:23:42Rule three, my bedroom is off-limits.
00:23:50To everyone.
00:23:52But me.
00:23:55Especially.
00:23:57No kissing, no sex.
00:23:59No kissing, no sex.
00:24:01Yeah.
00:24:02Really, it'd be the perfect couple.
00:24:03Not my problem.
00:24:16No aches tonight.
00:24:18You're allergic.
00:24:19How did you know that?
00:24:24You're spying on me, too?
00:24:27Relax.
00:24:27Just break room gossip, that's all.
00:24:30Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:24:34What is that worth, like, a million bucks?
00:24:35My allergies are none of your business.
00:24:40Just sit down and wait.
00:24:42Dinner will be ready soon.
00:24:43I'll see you next time.
00:25:13It's your valence, too.
00:25:19Just like I thought.
00:25:43I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:26:04Why can't I resist him?
00:26:13Damn, wifey.
00:26:16How is Oscar worthy?
00:26:18It was an accident.
00:26:21Honey, the steak's burning.
00:26:31You did that on purpose.
00:26:33Just another day in married life.
00:26:36Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:26:39Shut up.
00:26:41Need a hand, wifey?
00:26:43Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:26:46Icedy.
00:26:47Like it.
00:27:10Looks like these two are getting along.
00:27:13Better than we expected.
00:27:15Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:27:20That coal guy just casually drops ten billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:26All the bugs are dead?
00:27:27Every single one.
00:27:29And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:33Interesting.
00:27:34Seems like our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:27:38And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:41I went through all the contacts we have.
00:27:44Still nothing.
00:27:46No bank accounts.
00:27:48No credit history.
00:27:50Not even a parking ticket.
00:27:52There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:27:56The spies.
00:27:57The dead.
00:27:58The dead.
00:28:02And those richer than us.
00:28:05So which one is he?
00:28:08Excuse him, miss.
00:28:08You can't enter.
00:28:09Get out of my way.
00:28:11I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:28:13So it was you.
00:28:19You planted the bugs.
00:28:22Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:25Protect it?
00:28:26You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:29Enough!
00:28:33Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:37Some hotshot?
00:28:39Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:41A hotshot?
00:28:43He's just our company's security guard.
00:28:47You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:28:51You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:28:54Explain the $10 billion.
00:28:56There's only two options here.
00:28:58One, you funnel company funds.
00:29:03And two, the gifts are fixed.
00:29:06All of them.
00:29:16There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:29:19So that only leaves one option.
00:29:21The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:29:24Knockoffs?
00:29:26Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:29:29Told you, Dad.
00:29:30She's always been a stain on this family.
00:29:34Stop making assumptions.
00:29:36Just because you don't know who coal is doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:29:39Shut up!
00:29:40The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some renicor.
00:29:43No, you shut up!
00:29:44Even if the gifts are fake, I would still never marry Tristan.
00:29:46Ever!
00:29:47Ever!
00:29:47Serena, from now on, I want you to spend more time with Tristan Vann.
00:29:57The Kingsleys need the Vann family support now more than ever.
00:30:02Yes, Dad.
00:30:04I'll give him a call.
00:30:05The Vann family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:30:15We will secure their deal in three days' time with the Vann family's support.
00:30:19By our side.
00:30:22Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel.
00:30:27To decide on the next big partnership.
00:30:32That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:30:33The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:30:40The Vanns have the power to open the door.
00:30:44We just have to follow their lead and take our cut.
00:30:48Tori, when everything is, I want you to resign.
00:30:51It's time to rethink who runs the family business.
00:30:57Dearest cousin.
00:31:00What do we do with this pile of junk from your rent-caught boyfriend?
00:31:04Burn it.
00:31:06All of it.
00:31:08Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:31:16No, wait.
00:31:18Just wait.
00:31:19It's not...
00:31:19Wait!
00:31:20It's Kingsley, you can't come in!
00:31:31No, no, stop!
00:31:31What are you doing?
00:31:32It's for real Mona Lisa!
00:31:38No!
00:31:39Stop!
00:31:41No!
00:31:41They were real!
00:31:58Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:32:01Let this be a warning to you.
00:32:06You'll regret this.
00:32:08No.
00:32:09You will regret this.
00:32:11Once I marry Tristan, you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:32:16You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up in my place like this.
00:32:33Look at yourself killed.
00:32:40Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:46You're miles above her.
00:32:47Yes.
00:32:48You know why the Vann family gets an invite?
00:32:49Because we'd do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:32:53Anything.
00:32:54That's something you and I have in common.
00:32:55If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance, I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:32:57If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance, I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:32:58If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance, I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:11If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance, I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:28See, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:33:39You're right.
00:33:41There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:33:47Which one's your favorite?
00:33:51The one where you're on your knees.
00:33:56Now we're talking.
00:33:58Oh.
00:34:20Since I've realized your talents, I believe I can get the King's lead to the summit.
00:34:26Oh, Mr. Vann.
00:34:28I knew you would come to your senses.
00:34:31A man of your talents?
00:34:33Nothing's impossible.
00:34:35You haven't heard the cost yet.
00:34:38You have a lot of work to do.
00:34:41To do.
00:34:44To earn.
00:34:47A privilege of an invite.
00:34:49That was only a taste of what I'm capable of.
00:34:52Well, I guess I have to find out that later.
00:34:55Later.
00:34:56But now, I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:35:01Victoria's company?
00:35:03It's been falling apart ever since her parents died.
00:35:07I'm serious.
00:35:09If it didn't have the Kingsley name on it, nobody in my family would even care about it.
00:35:13That's not your problem.
00:35:14Do what I say.
00:35:16Or you'll be left with nothing.
00:35:21All right.
00:35:23Good thing we still have an insider in her company.
00:35:27Hmm.
00:35:30That's better.
00:35:42Three days into the summit.
00:35:44I have to lock priority access.
00:35:49Power outage?
00:35:50Power outage?
00:36:12Paul?
00:36:15Mike?
00:36:17Anybody?
00:36:20Who's there?
00:36:33Who's there?
00:36:38Not just here, it is.
00:36:42There.
00:36:43There.
00:36:50What are you saying?
00:37:03The breaker room should be...
00:37:15Check department, now!
00:37:18Who are you?
00:37:20You really can't tell?
00:37:22It's you?
00:37:30Emily!
00:37:32It's you?
00:37:33Surprise!
00:37:34Emily, since the day you've joined this company...
00:37:37Vacations, bonuses, raises, you've had everything!
00:37:40Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:37:42Quit whining!
00:37:45You've been good to me, Victoria, but the Van family's offering war.
00:37:50Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:58I am your employee, not your slave.
00:38:02I've got a better deal now, and you should be happy for me!
00:38:06Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:38:08Shut up!
00:38:10You're taking me to the tech department!
00:38:12Now!
00:38:13Move it!
00:38:15Move it!
00:38:18Finally!
00:38:19Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:21Not so fast!
00:38:22What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:23This tech is split into three parts.
00:38:24You've only got one of them.
00:38:25Where's the rest?
00:38:26Tell me!
00:38:27You wish!
00:38:28Then die!
00:38:29You wish!
00:38:30Then die!
00:38:31It's a cute toy!
00:38:32It's a cute toy!
00:38:33It barely even stings!
00:38:34It barely even stings!
00:38:36But enough to make you feel every moment!
00:38:37It's a cute toy!
00:38:38It barely even stings!
00:38:51But enough to make you feel every moment!
00:38:52It's a cute toy.
00:39:00It barely even stings.
00:39:01Blood enough to make you feel every bone.
00:39:09You good?
00:39:22Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:36I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:39:40It's Tristan after anyway.
00:39:42That's worth going this far.
00:39:45The quantum chip tech.
00:39:47My parents' last research.
00:39:49From the sham engagement to buying off my uncle, every move led to this.
00:39:56I just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:59Say the word and I'll make more despair.
00:40:03No, it's fine.
00:40:06I'll figure something out.
00:40:07How?
00:40:08As long as we land new deals, you won't have any hold over us.
00:40:19Motherfucker!
00:40:24It's Cole again!
00:40:25He's fucking all up!
00:40:28Little fucking mutt!
00:40:31Easy, babe.
00:40:33I know how to deal with Cole.
00:40:35I have an idea.
00:40:37Oh yeah?
00:40:38What?
00:40:39No matter how tough you are, if a woman's got your interest, you're done for.
00:40:50I like that.
00:40:51I like that, don't I?
00:40:52Who is this?
00:41:12Come on, Cole.
00:41:13Don't be so mean.
00:41:14I'm just trying to help.
00:41:16Listen.
00:41:17The Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:41:20What's your point?
00:41:21All right, all right.
00:41:23My point is, they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:41:27And if it leaks, she's screwed.
00:41:31Who the hell are you?
00:41:32What do you want?
00:41:33Relax.
00:41:34I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:36Just meet me at the bar tonight, 8 o'clock.
00:41:39And maybe I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:48Cole, what's going on, man?
00:41:50I've got to head out for a bit.
00:41:52Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:41:53If anything happens, call me.
00:41:55I've got to head out for both of you.
00:41:56Let's go.
00:42:26Hey handsome, you wanna have some fun?
00:42:33I've been waiting for you.
00:42:39Take it easy, good guy.
00:42:56Take it easy, good guy.
00:43:11Take it easy, good guy.
00:43:26You're lucky I don't hit women.
00:43:42What if you keep pushing me?
00:43:45I will.
00:43:46Just join me for a drink.
00:43:52For Victoria and her company.
00:43:56I knew that name would get you back.
00:44:09Cut the crap.
00:44:10You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:44:12I'm not gonna let that happen.
00:44:15Have your drink.
00:44:18And then...
00:44:21I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:24Call me, you asshole.
00:44:39Tell me now.
00:44:51No.
00:44:52It's my own special blend.
00:44:54It's an aphrodisiac.
00:44:58Mm-mm.
00:44:59Mm-mm.
00:45:00Mm-mm.
00:45:01You're drunk then.
00:45:02No.
00:45:03Better.
00:45:04It's my own special blend.
00:45:05It's an aphrodisiac.
00:45:06Mm-mm.
00:45:07Mm-mm.
00:45:08You got two options.
00:45:09One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you that name to do it.
00:45:22Or two, we skip the business.
00:45:27We have a little bit of fun.
00:45:29And she can find out the messy way.
00:45:31No, no.
00:45:32Don't move.
00:45:33Don't move.
00:45:35Thanks for watching over my husband.
00:45:46Uh-huh.
00:45:47He's coming home with me now.
00:45:48Oh, no.
00:45:49Sweetheartedly.
00:45:50So, he's here and he's mine.
00:45:53I'm sorry.
00:45:55Nothing happened between us this week.
00:45:57I know.
00:45:58You have better taste than this.
00:46:00Excuse me?
00:46:02Come on, Cole.
00:46:04Come on, Cole.
00:46:05Let's go home.
00:46:14It's too hot.
00:46:16I can't breathe.
00:46:17Please.
00:46:18I can't breathe.
00:46:19I can't breathe.
00:46:20Yes.
00:46:21No, no.
00:46:22We're running.
00:46:23I can't breathe.
00:46:24No, no.
00:46:25No.
00:46:26No.
00:46:27Call-Slade.
00:46:280-92414
00:46:31My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:35Who are you?
00:46:36...
00:46:37Cole!
00:46:38Who are you?
00:46:44Cole!
00:47:03Cole!
00:47:05Did you just kiss me?
00:47:08How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:33Cole!
00:47:34Cole!
00:47:34Cole!
00:47:38Cole!
00:47:51Good morning!
00:47:58Good morning!
00:48:01Good morning!
00:48:01Last night, did we, um...
00:48:07Nope.
00:48:10Nothing happened.
00:48:17You seem almost happy about that.
00:48:21Oh.
00:48:24You were in the military?
00:48:27Um, no.
00:48:29No.
00:48:31What are you looking at?
00:48:39Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. director.
00:48:43What?
00:48:45It's a woman.
00:48:46Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:48:50How did you know her name is Amber?
00:48:56Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:48:58Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:49:03Odds are it'll be the Van family.
00:49:06If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:49:11So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:49:14Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:49:18Doesn't your family already have one?
00:49:19Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:49:22Why?
00:49:23I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:49:25They burned it.
00:49:29I said it was a knockoff.
00:49:31I'll pay you back.
00:49:32If I get you that in.
00:49:47Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:49:49Come again?
00:50:01Nothing.
00:50:08If you can really get me that invite,
00:50:10I'll do anything you want.
00:50:22Just carry that badge with you.
00:50:24I'll take care of the rest.
00:50:35Go on ahead.
00:50:36You're not coming in with me?
00:50:40I'll catch up.
00:50:43Okay.
00:50:52Give me an invite to the front.
00:50:55The best one you got.
00:50:57Now.
00:50:58Cole, they've already kicked out two execs
00:51:10for not having invites.
00:51:12If we can't...
00:51:12Hey, hey.
00:51:13Don't worry.
00:51:15Not only are you getting in,
00:51:17you're also walking out with the due.
00:51:20Yeah, right.
00:51:21If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me
00:51:23and keep my parents' research safe,
00:51:25that's all I need.
00:51:26Victoria.
00:51:27You have to trust me.
00:51:30Say hi.
00:51:32Gotcha, Cole.
00:51:43Oh, come on, Cole.
00:51:45Don't you miss me?
00:51:46I missed you so much.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:49You have got to knock it off.
00:51:51I'm just friends with your dad.
00:51:53That's it.
00:51:54Who cares?
00:51:55I like you,
00:51:57and I'm not letting go.
00:51:58Come on.
00:52:02Victoria.
00:52:08Miss Cross.
00:52:10My wife does not like that.
00:52:14Now.
00:52:15The invite.
00:52:17Here.
00:52:19The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:52:21Thanks.
00:52:23Hold up.
00:52:25You're really going to give out this invite?
00:52:27This invite is worth a fortune.
00:52:29No one else has ever gotten one.
00:52:31This is the first and the only.
00:52:35I know.
00:52:35But it's from my wife.
00:52:42Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:52:46I gotta see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:52:51Victoria.
00:52:52Wait.
00:52:53Look, she's just a friend.
00:52:55That's all.
00:52:56Don't touch me.
00:52:57Go away.
00:52:59Come.
00:52:59Trust me.
00:53:14She is just a friend.
00:53:16She came to drop off the invite.
00:53:19That's all.
00:53:20Yeah, right.
00:53:22Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left, another on the right.
00:53:25Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:53:27You feel that?
00:53:34It only beats for you.
00:53:38Just you.
00:53:49The invite?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:51That's how it's about to begin.
00:53:54Let's head in.
00:53:55I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:14Hello.
00:54:14Hello.
00:54:20Hello.
00:54:23Grandpa.
00:54:25Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:54:27Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:54:32Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:54:35And to you.
00:54:36You're the reason he's helping us.
00:54:38Oh, Grandpa.
00:54:38It's the least I can do.
00:54:40You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:54:45Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:54:51She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:54:52Victoria, I told you marrying me is your best option, but you didn't listen.
00:55:02Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:55:07And when that day comes, you'll be mine.
00:55:11Just something to use however I want.
00:55:13Is it that Victorian call?
00:55:23What the hell are they doing here?
00:55:32Mr. Kingsley.
00:55:33Grandpa?
00:55:37Victoria.
00:55:38Coming in under Tristan's name is one thing, but to bring this?
00:55:42This guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:55:45I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:55:47Grandpa, I don't understand.
00:55:49I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:55:54And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:55:57Sure, if you got that invite yourself,
00:56:00it's you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:56:03Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:56:09I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:56:12Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:14Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:56:16This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:56:21No one's looking for eye candy.
00:56:23If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:56:27You come in over here, trying to steal a spotlight is embarrassing.
00:56:33Why don't you take a good look?
00:56:37You really think you got that on your own?
00:56:41More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:56:47That's weird.
00:56:49I never told the host to let her in.
00:56:52There's only one way that's possible.
00:56:54It's fake.
00:56:55Can you believe it?
00:57:06Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:57:10That's insane.
00:57:12If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:57:16No, no, you've got it wrong.
00:57:18It doesn't matter if this invite is real or...
00:57:23That's not your call to me.
00:57:26Shut up!
00:57:27Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:57:30Victoria, you need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:57:36Vicky!
00:57:37Look what you've done to Grandpa!
00:57:38Apologize now!
00:57:40Could this invite actually be fake?
00:57:43Oh, let's go.
00:57:44Wait, why are you guys running?
00:57:49You were so confident that invite was real.
00:57:54Well, if my invite is fake...
00:57:58Well, then this entire event is a shaman.
00:58:01We can go home.
00:58:03Prove it.
00:58:05Open it up and show us.
00:58:09Yeah, let us see it.
00:58:11Open it up!
00:58:12Open it up!
00:58:12Open it!
00:58:14Open it!
00:58:16Open it!
00:58:17Open it!
00:58:19Open it!
00:58:22Come on, bud.
00:58:24Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:58:29Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:58:35Damn right.
00:58:36You know what?
00:58:37Let's make it interesting.
00:58:38If that invite is forged, I'll break your leg.
00:58:44She hands over the quantum chip.
00:58:48And if it's real.
00:58:50Then I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:58:54I'll get the hell out of here.
00:58:57Deal.
00:58:57You call that an invitation?
00:59:13Oh, my God.
00:59:14You have got to be kidding me.
00:59:16Nice.
00:59:17You see it, miss?
00:59:22Oh, my God.
00:59:24This is the sloppiest fake I've ever seen.
00:59:27Listen up, genius.
00:59:29Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
00:59:35Vicky, if you're going to fake one, at least do your research first.
00:59:42Grandpa was right.
00:59:44You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
00:59:47Hmm.
00:59:49Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
00:59:51You are turning this family into a complete joke.
00:59:54Who said it's fake?
00:59:58Cut the crap.
01:00:00Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:00:04Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
01:00:08Makes sense.
01:00:08They've never seen it before.
01:00:11That doesn't mean it's fake.
01:00:13Enough, Cole.
01:00:15Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
01:00:19And I'm about to make you regret running your mouth.
01:00:22Grab them.
01:00:24I'll break his leg myself.
01:00:42That is the Lester Duvall.
01:00:47He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:00:50I heard he handles everything.
01:00:52Like all the Shadow Alliance's outside business, I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:00:57If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:01:01You wish.
01:01:02The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:01:06The Kingsley family's already hanging on them.
01:01:09Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:01:12Lucky you, Vicky.
01:01:15Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:01:19Once you become Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:01:23Of course.
01:01:25My family is counting on you.
01:01:29Don't worry.
01:01:30I got it.
01:01:30But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:01:38Yes, of course.
01:01:39Of course.
01:01:40Don't worry.
01:01:42You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:01:46Nobody's changing that.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:48We'll see how long that lasts.
01:01:53Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:01:59And he's my cousin.
01:02:01It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:02:06This is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO of the Kingsley Company.
01:02:12Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:02:15Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:02:21Don't mess it up.
01:02:23Got it.
01:02:24Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:02:30Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:02:35Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner of the Shadow Alliance?
01:02:38Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:02:41He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out
01:02:44if the invite's fake.
01:02:47That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:02:51The event's just started.
01:02:54Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:02:56Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:03:01And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:11Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:03:13Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner
01:03:16and donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:03:24This is our shot.
01:03:26If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:03:29Get back there.
01:03:34The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:38Mr. Duvall, the Vann's are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:03:44Nice job, Tristan.
01:03:45If there are no other candidates,
01:03:50I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:03:53I'm in.
01:03:56I want that partnership, too.
01:04:01Victoria, stop it!
01:04:02Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:05Quit embarrassing us!
01:04:06Vicky, I know you want the spotlight,
01:04:09but don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:04:14Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:04:17Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:04:20Serena is our new CEO.
01:04:21That is all you need to know.
01:04:23Victoria never said she wanted to become
01:04:25the Shadow Alliance's partner as part of the Kingsley family.
01:04:28And what does that mean?
01:04:30She's starting her own company.
01:04:32Under her name.
01:04:35Are you serious?
01:04:36A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:04:40Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:04:42You got in here on a fake invite.
01:04:45Don't push your luck.
01:04:46Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:04:53You know, since the Shadow Alliance started,
01:04:58there were two people that forged an invite.
01:05:01And they paid the price.
01:05:04Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:05:09What's the matter?
01:05:10Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:05:13When I show him this fake invite,
01:05:16your cover's blown.
01:05:21And you're done.
01:05:22Cool.
01:05:25Oh, wait.
01:05:28Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:05:30That's the most exclusive invite to the summit.
01:05:36This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:05:39And an outright insult to you.
01:05:42Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:05:45Stop!
01:05:46Oh!
01:05:47Oh!
01:05:52Mr. Duvall, why are you...
01:05:54That's right.
01:05:55This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:05:59Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:06:01Shut up!
01:06:02Oh my God.
01:06:06Mr. Slade,
01:06:07this is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:06:11You have access to all of our properties.
01:06:13No interference.
01:06:15What?
01:06:16He doesn't have the authority to get someone like this!
01:06:18Are you going to question my judgment?
01:06:21Not now.
01:06:24Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:06:26We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:06:30Vicky,
01:06:32partnerships run on resources.
01:06:35Without the Kingsleys,
01:06:36what can you even do?
01:06:40Victoria,
01:06:40if you are bound and determined
01:06:42to start your own company,
01:06:45the Kingsley family will give you nothing.
01:06:49Well, sure,
01:06:50Victoria's company is new.
01:06:52It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:06:55But we have something you can't say no to.
01:07:00If you make Victoria your new partner,
01:07:02you're going to make someone be really happy.
01:07:04Are you nuts?
01:07:06$50 billion to make one person happy?
01:07:09You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid
01:07:11to believe that?
01:07:13Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:16Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:19Exactly who
01:07:20is going to be happy?
01:07:23Well, you're not here to
01:07:24make money or do business.
01:07:27You're just here to please someone.
01:07:30Enough!
01:07:31You know what?
01:07:32Save this for your funeral.
01:07:33Get him out of here!
01:07:34All you have to do is pick Victoria
01:07:36and you will get exactly what you want.
01:07:42Trust me.
01:07:44The badge I gave you.
01:07:47Where is it?
01:07:54Hold it!
01:07:55Victoria, if this family takes a hit,
01:08:01we're going to sever ties with you for good.
01:08:04Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:08:07Looks pretty pissed, too.
01:08:10Miss Gensley,
01:08:11may I have that badge, please?
01:08:14That, that's it.
01:08:23It's the real thing.
01:08:25Miss Gensley,
01:08:26do you intend to start a new company
01:08:28and form a partnership
01:08:29with the Shadow Alliance?
01:08:31I'm not mission of all.
01:08:32No need to get upset.
01:08:33I'll get these two out of here.
01:08:35What's the holdup?
01:08:36Move it!
01:08:38Oh!
01:08:38You think you can just interrupt me?
01:08:43You see this?
01:08:45I'm in hot water
01:08:45because you two pissed them off.
01:08:47When this summer is over,
01:08:49you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:08:51Don't worry, Tristan.
01:08:52The moment we step out of this room,
01:08:54Victoria's no longer a member of this family.
01:08:57Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:59the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:09:03Our new partner is...
01:09:08Once you land Shadow Alliance,
01:09:11taking down Victoria and Cole
01:09:12is going to be child's play.
01:09:16The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:09:22Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:09:28Miss Kingsley,
01:09:30please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:09:33I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:09:35No way!
01:09:36How is it hard?
01:09:40This has to all be a bad dream.
01:09:43The $50 billion is yours.
01:09:45You can use it as you see fit.
01:09:47And if you need any resources from then on,
01:09:50give the word,
01:09:51and I'll make it happen.
01:09:52What is the deal with Victoria?
01:09:55I mean, who is she?
01:09:57The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner
01:09:59with random people.
01:10:01That deal is basically free money.
01:10:04Cole said that Lester
01:10:06we're just trying to make people happy, right?
01:10:09Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:10:12He flipped like a switch
01:10:13the second he saw that badge in our hand.
01:10:15He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:17No!
01:10:18Man, this is impossible!
01:10:23I never lose!
01:10:26Cole, am I dreaming?
01:10:30When I tell you,
01:10:32carry that badge,
01:10:33I'll pick you.
01:10:35Period.
01:10:35But $50 billion?
01:10:38All off one tiny badge?
01:10:41Ms. Kingsley,
01:10:43I look forward to working with you.
01:10:46Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:48I'll come guys sign it.
01:10:50If you need anything in the meantime,
01:10:51you say the word,
01:10:52and I'll make it happen.
01:10:53You're serious?
01:10:54All of this is real?
01:10:56Of course it's not real!
01:10:58Wake up!
01:10:59He only picked you because he assumed you were
01:11:01running the Kingsley family!
01:11:04Ms. Duvall,
01:11:04she's just a pretty face.
01:11:07She is unfit
01:11:08to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:11:10Okay?
01:11:11She has no resources!
01:11:12Mr. Duvall,
01:11:14if we're talking about power and influence,
01:11:19Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:11:22That's right, Victoria.
01:11:25As of today,
01:11:26you are no longer a member of this family.
01:11:29And without the Kingsley name,
01:11:30you have absolutely nothing to offer!
01:11:33The Shadow Alliance!
01:11:40You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:11:46That's that friend of yours.
01:11:49What's she doing here?
01:11:50I almost thought she was someone important.
01:11:53But if she's Cole's friend,
01:11:55she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:11:56Keep talking like that,
01:11:57and the Van family's going to be
01:11:59six feet under by midnight.
01:12:03Go on, Lester.
01:12:05Tell the distinguished Mr. Van
01:12:07who I am.
01:12:08Oh!
01:12:09Oh!
01:12:09Tristan!
01:12:10Oh!
01:12:11God!
01:12:13This is Ms. Amber Cross,
01:12:15the U.S. Director
01:12:16of the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:18And if I remember,
01:12:20you just referred to Ms. Cross
01:12:22as a gutter rat.
01:12:24I know who she was.
01:12:25Oh!
01:12:25Mr. Duvall, please.
01:12:27Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:12:30Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:12:34What the fuck, man?
01:12:35This is my server!
01:12:38I'm the one
01:12:38who runs this!
01:12:40No one comes in here
01:12:41and pushes me around!
01:12:44I'm in the Shadow Alliance!
01:12:46You hear me?
01:12:47If all you had done
01:12:48was cross the Shadow Alliance,
01:12:50I may have given you
01:12:51a free pass.
01:12:52But what's really unforgivable
01:12:54is that you disrespected
01:12:56Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:12:57the woman with the badge.
01:13:00Cole, what is this?
01:13:02Even Amber's acting like
01:13:04it's the most valuable thing
01:13:05in the world.
01:13:07Dad, isn't it the same badge
01:13:08Cole tried to give you
01:13:09at the family dinner?
01:13:11No way that thing
01:13:12actually has any real pull.
01:13:14Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:16This badge could single-handedly
01:13:18make your family crisis disappear
01:13:20and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:24You Kingsley's lit
01:13:26the golden ticket on fire.
01:13:30Seeing this badge
01:13:32is seeing the owner.
01:13:34No one disrespects it.
01:13:37No one.
01:13:38Forget 50 billion.
01:13:39Make it 100.
01:13:41200.
01:13:41Hell, make it the entire
01:13:42Shadow Alliance.
01:13:43If it was the badge
01:13:44owner's orders,
01:13:45we'd have to give it over.
01:13:47No questions asked.
01:13:48Cole wasn't bluffing.
01:13:50That means that
01:13:51it's the actual
01:13:52Mona Lisa.
01:13:54Oh my God.
01:13:55I've crushed our entire
01:13:56family's fortune
01:13:57with my own hands.
01:13:58You said that ID was yours.
01:14:02Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:14:07I'm sorry.
01:14:10What?
01:14:10This badge
01:14:14is your ID?
01:14:15You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:18How there's a
01:14:19phantom tycoon
01:14:20lurking in the shadows.
01:14:22A mystery billionaire
01:14:24who holds the entire economy
01:14:27in the palm of his hand.
01:14:28One word from him
01:14:30and blue chip
01:14:32stocks cradle.
01:14:33One word
01:14:34and he turns a deadbeat
01:14:35into a star

01:15:47Get off of me!
01:15:50Ah!
01:15:56Since you love him
01:15:57so much,
01:15:58you can go keep him
01:16:00company.
01:16:00Let's go!
01:16:01Vicky!
01:16:02Vicky!
01:16:03We're family!
01:16:06I'm your cousin!
01:16:07Please don't do this!
01:16:09Family,
01:16:10my days as a Kingsley
01:16:12are over.
01:16:13No!
01:16:14I can walk
01:16:15myself!
01:16:16well now that you
01:16:22Kingsley's are
01:16:23nothing to Victoria,
01:16:25I want you to do
01:16:26yourselves a favor
01:16:27and get out of our
01:16:29sight.
01:16:30If I were to so much
01:16:31to see your faces again,
01:16:33it would be as if
01:16:34the Kingsley name
01:16:35never existed.
01:16:36so Victoria has the
01:16:41Shadow Alliance deal
01:16:42and her parents'
01:16:43research is safe.
01:16:45You've accomplished
01:16:46your mission, right?
01:16:48All there's left for you
01:16:49to do
01:16:49is leave her
01:16:51and marry me.
01:16:52Victoria, don't.
01:17:00Cole, I know you
01:17:02knew my brother.
01:17:04I'm safe now, okay?
01:17:07You should go.
01:17:11Thank you for everything.
01:17:17Victoria.
01:17:19Cole, stop!
01:17:22You've already done
01:17:22so much for me.
01:17:24I can't keep
01:17:25weighing you down.
01:17:30Remember when you
01:17:31asked if I ever
01:17:32served in the military?
01:17:34So,
01:17:35you're finally ready
01:17:36to tell me?
01:17:37I served with
01:17:38your brother, Alex.
01:17:39You knew my brother?
01:17:40We were brothers
01:17:41in arms.
01:17:43His last words
01:17:44were to keep you safe.
01:17:45He's
01:17:45dead?
01:17:48The mission failed.
01:17:50He didn't make it back.
01:17:52He didn't want you
01:17:54to know because
01:17:54he was afraid
01:17:55it was going to
01:17:55break you.
01:17:57Why didn't you
01:17:57tell me?
01:18:00Why didn't you
01:18:00let me see him
01:18:01one last time?
01:18:04Go.
01:18:05I'll take you to him.
01:18:10Alex,
01:18:11you're such a jerk.
01:18:13Do you know how hard
01:18:15it's been
01:18:16all on my own?
01:18:19Everyone tried
01:18:20to tear me apart,
01:18:21but now
01:18:22I have Cole.
01:18:25I think...
01:18:26I think I'm in love
01:18:28with him.
01:18:30But
01:18:31he's the most powerful
01:18:33man in the Federation.
01:18:35I'm not good enough,
01:18:36am I?
01:18:37I'm sure you'd call me
01:18:38stupid again.
01:18:39What the hell?
01:18:53Alex?
01:18:55Hey, man.
01:18:56Now you remember
01:19:03our pact?
01:19:04Whoever dies first,
01:19:05the other has to wear
01:19:06a wedding dress.
01:19:08And that's for the bride.
01:19:09Well, that's your sister.
01:19:17What?
01:19:19Have you lost your mind?
01:19:21Victoria Kingsley.
01:19:23Your brother asked me
01:19:24to guard you for life
01:19:25if he didn't make it back.
01:19:28But I don't want
01:19:29to just be a guard, too.
01:19:32Is this your idea
01:19:33of a proposal
01:19:34in a wedding dress?
01:19:37Just keep my promise.
01:19:38I'm marrying you.
01:19:41Unless you have a problem
01:19:42with that.
01:19:44Idiot.
01:19:58Rest easy, my brother.
01:20:00I'll protect Victoria
01:20:00for the rest of my life.
