00:00:00Can you just get to the point? I'm missing an important meeting.
00:00:14I understand, but I can't commence the reading of your father's will without your brother here.
00:00:22What the actual fuck? It's noon and you're drunk already.
00:00:26Hello, Frankie.
00:00:27Let's get decided, shall we?
00:00:36Your father's last will and testament read before his two sons as stipulated.
00:00:43In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares, and stocks, will only be inherited by one of my sons.
00:00:51Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
00:00:58It's bullshit. We won't know it.
00:01:01This is your father's updated will. He was of sound mind when it was revised.
00:01:06Revised? When?
00:01:07A few weeks before his death. I assure you, these are his true wishes. If you'll please get seated, son.
00:01:14Fuck, you fucking son.
00:01:16Take your fucking seat, Jack. Seems there's more we need to hear.
00:01:20That woman has already been chosen by me.
00:01:24Evangeline Harris.
00:01:26She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
00:01:30By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman.
00:01:33I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but...
00:01:36To my disappointment, you have both grown overly arrogant and dismissive of those you consider to be inferior to you in both social standing and in wealth.
00:01:43My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class or status.
00:01:48I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love, and kindness.
00:01:57This makes no sense at all.
00:02:00Marrying a stranger?
00:02:02How do we even get in touch with this woman? Evangeline...
00:02:05Evangeline Harris, your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch with her won't be an issue.
00:02:13You seem a little bit composed, brother.
00:02:15Something like to tell me.
00:02:17I beg your pardon?
00:02:18You seem all calm the whole way.
00:02:20A little too well.
00:02:22It's almost like a deep period of knew what was happening.
00:02:25Please tell me that's a joke.
00:02:27I'm concerned about how to get up to the bottom of this, and you're concerned that I'm just not falling apart.
00:02:31You were here before me.
00:02:34God knows for how long.
00:02:36Yeah, because I understand punctuality.
00:02:39Unlike you, you chose to be late, as usual.
00:02:44So don't forget that you're daddy's little favourite, hey?
00:02:47No one knows what else he gave you little hint about the will.
00:02:49For fuck's sake, Jack.
00:02:52Don't start this shit now.
00:02:54We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each other.
00:02:59Okay.
00:03:00What did we say, dearest brother?
00:03:02But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in the end.
00:03:07Oh, come on, Jack.
00:03:08Don't be such a child.
00:03:10Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter what.
00:03:14Good thing he's not here anymore, huh?
00:03:16Good thing he's not here anymore.
00:03:46Hey, this is the hundredth voicemail I've left you.
00:04:01Call me when you get this one.
00:04:08Tony boy, how'd you be looking for me?
00:04:11Speak of the devil.
00:04:13Where the fuck have you been?
00:04:15I've been trying to contact you for days.
00:04:17Been here, there, you know.
00:04:20No, I don't know.
00:04:22And can you stop playing with that?
00:04:23You always make a mess of things.
00:04:25And you're always trying to control things.
00:04:27Maybe you should understand how things really work.
00:04:30What are you talking about?
00:04:32Are you drunk right now?
00:04:34Because you're not making much sense.
00:04:36Nope.
00:04:37Server is a nut.
00:04:38Enough of the cryptic talk.
00:04:40And why are you so late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
00:04:43John, John, you always focus on the things that aren't important.
00:04:48Why don't you just give a little?
00:04:49The things that aren't important.
00:04:51Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad?
00:04:54We actually have to keep it alive.
00:04:57Well, like we have you then.
00:04:58Hey, actually best be on it.
00:05:00I better be going.
00:05:01We'll do this chat another time.
00:05:02Where the fuck are you off to now?
00:05:11You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
00:05:14To think that I was worried about you,
00:05:16only to find out you had been in contact with Evangeline Harris.
00:05:19Damn, bro.
00:05:20Did you run here?
00:05:22Hey, easy tiger.
00:05:24What can I say?
00:05:26I'll work better alone.
00:05:28Besides, this situation is best man wins.
00:05:31I don't see that both of us are getting married to her.
00:05:34Welcome.
00:05:37Jack, I see you're here early this time.
00:05:40So it would be a bit worth the time.
00:05:42Heads up to my brother, didn't ya?
00:05:45Actually, I was obligated to share this information with both of you at the same time.
00:05:49Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank.
00:05:51God knows if it were up to Jack, I'd still be up at the office.
00:05:55It should be worth the time.
00:05:56Shut up, jackass.
00:05:57Miss Harris won't be coming to the meeting.
00:06:06And we all know what that means.
00:06:08It's without her, nothing can move forward.
00:06:12Damn it.
00:06:13Coming!
00:06:40Coming!
00:06:40What are you doing here?
00:06:50I don't know what you're doing here with a stupid fire.
00:06:51Eva, you look a mess.
00:06:53How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
00:07:03I'm doing housework, Mum.
00:07:04Am I supposed to have a full face of makeup on?
00:07:06Oh, well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place.
00:07:11Surely you can find somewhere better.
00:07:13Your standards are so high.
00:07:15It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
00:07:18And besides, I like it here.
00:07:20It's nice and it's cozy.
00:07:22Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities.
00:07:26And you've got to grab them when they're presented to you.
00:07:28I guess.
00:07:30I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorn Sawyers.
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37How did you know about that?
00:07:38Oh, never mind.
00:07:39Why didn't you go?
00:07:40Because it seemed shady.
00:07:42I've never spoken to that man before.
00:07:44And I only know the name Blackthorn because you work for the late Mr Blackthorn.
00:07:48What on earth do they work with me?
00:07:51And you just dodged my question.
00:07:53How do you know about that meeting?
00:07:55Because I set it up.
00:08:03What do you mean you set it up?
00:08:05What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
00:08:08What's going on, Mum?
00:08:09Calm down, child.
00:08:10Let me explain.
00:08:11You see, when Mr Blackthorn neared his end, he kind of started opening up to me and talking
00:08:19about his life, about his late wife, his two sons, Jack and John, fraternal twins.
00:08:26And you see, he even asked about my life.
00:08:28That's interesting, but that doesn't quite answer anything.
00:08:31But you see, when we got talking, we realized that we could possibly help each other.
00:08:35You see, he realized that his two sons had a bit of a, let's call it a classist.
00:08:40He sure.
00:08:42You mean they're pretentious rich boy pricks?
00:08:44That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
00:08:46Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy and be a little bit
00:08:51less pretentious.
00:08:52And I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:56She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
00:08:59What?
00:09:01You told him that about me?
00:09:03Parents talk about their kids.
00:09:04You see, I told him that you were fussy about, you know, the men you were dating,
00:09:08lacking in a bit of ambition.
00:09:11And, you know, Mr. Blackthorn was really alone at that time and his two boys was always
00:09:15just too busy to visit him.
00:09:17He might have been a little muddled at that point, but anyway, we still came to an agreement.
00:09:22What's the agreement, Mum?
00:09:24Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you in order to inherit
00:09:30his wealth.
00:09:32You can't be serious.
00:09:34You're joking, right?
00:09:35No, wait.
00:09:37Let me finish.
00:09:37I am serious.
00:09:39You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
00:09:45Oh!
00:09:57You told that old man that I was a sad loser?
00:10:00That I would jump for the chance to marry one of his sons?
00:10:03So what if I don't have a man in my life or many friends?
00:10:06That's my choice.
00:10:08Mine.
00:10:09Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
00:10:12You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled with everything that you have
00:10:16and everything you don't have and that you never had a thought that your life would be
00:10:21much easier if you had more.
00:10:24If you had more money, more status and more opportunities.
00:10:28Yeah, I thought as much.
00:10:31I only ever wanted what was good for you.
00:10:36All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
00:10:41The things I never achieved.
00:10:43So it really hurts me when you imply that I want to pimp you out.
00:10:48What do the sons think about this crazy scheme?
00:10:55Well, you would have known that if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go
00:11:00to.
00:11:02I'm sorry.
00:11:03But it's to marry a total stranger?
00:11:05A very wealthy stranger, really.
00:11:08Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
00:11:13It happens everywhere.
00:11:14They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
00:11:19No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do.
00:11:22But let's face it, you won't lose anything by trying at least.
00:11:25What happens if I don't like the guy and I don't want to go through the marriage?
00:11:29Well, then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves and work through
00:11:33it.
00:11:33At that point, at least they've learned just a fraction of the humility that their dad
00:11:38wanted for them.
00:11:42Well, maybe I'll meet the sons and see what it's like.
00:11:45But I can't guarantee anything further than that.
00:11:53Well, nice you get a son say.
00:11:55You could go.
00:12:06John Blackthorn?
00:12:08Yes.
00:12:10He must be Miss Harris.
00:12:12Evangeline is fine.
00:12:13Or Eva, if you like.
00:12:14Eva, it is them.
00:12:16I'm John.
00:12:20I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:12:28You literally just took my breath away right now.
00:12:30You're magnificent.
00:12:33I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting at your lawyer's.
00:12:37It just came from out of the blue.
00:12:39I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:12:44It just happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
00:12:48I just said yes.
00:12:49So you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
00:12:56I have no idea.
00:12:58It's quite strange.
00:13:00It's been a bit overwhelming.
00:13:02Even for me.
00:13:03Even for me.
00:13:05For us.
00:13:08Isn't there supposed to be two of you?
00:13:10You're a Chinese that I'm supposed to meet with your brother as well.
00:13:12You must be the all-important, Miss Harris.
00:13:18Speak of the devil.
00:13:24Tell me something.
00:13:26How much you're really going to cost me?
00:13:27You must be Jack Blackthorn.
00:13:33I guess you guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:13:35So he came earlier to butter me up with outrageous compliments.
00:13:39And a new swift end for the attack.
00:13:41What are you insinuating that I have to say?
00:13:44Am I interrupting something?
00:13:47Oh, don't tell me you've fallen for his boyhood routine.
00:13:50Clearly this is an exchange.
00:13:53You for our father's wealth.
00:13:54Don't play dumb.
00:13:56What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:13:58Don't talk to her like that.
00:13:59It's disgusting.
00:14:01Oh, come on.
00:14:02You're coming on so strong, Johnny boy.
00:14:04Don't act all innocent now that she's looking so beautiful.
00:14:08Is that what you think a woman is?
00:14:10That we're only valuable for her way you look?
00:14:14No wonder your father loved you by any of his wealth.
00:14:17You're not only classist, but you're sexist as well.
00:14:19Watch your fucking mouth.
00:14:20You don't know anything about her.
00:14:22Or me.
00:14:23Do you think you're better than his nature?
00:14:26The fact that you're considering this, Professor, says a lot about you.
00:14:29You fucking bitch.
00:14:30How much does this cost?
00:14:32Use it to mop up your toxicity, rich boy.
00:14:34You both go to hell if you're up for it.
00:14:46Evangelion, wait.
00:14:48Hold on a second.
00:14:49Nice one, Jack.
00:14:54Nice one.
00:14:54She's a spitfire, that one.
00:14:57What about those curves?
00:14:58Never know if she'll be so hot.
00:15:00What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:15:02You made her change her mind.
00:15:04How hard is it to be polite, goddammit?
00:15:06Well, my father means firecracker can't take a joke.
00:15:09Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:15:10Are you sure about that?
00:15:12I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:17Don't worry, Johnny boy.
00:15:18I know women, and I saw the fire in her today, and she's burning for me.
00:15:23I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:15:25Nah.
00:15:26One way or another, I'll be holding that spark in my hand.
00:15:29Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:15:33You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:15:36You call her talking down, I call her flirting.
00:15:38Besides, we'll could see your emotions in less than 20 minutes.
00:15:44I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:15:46There's no denying it.
00:15:49We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt, and I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump a little bit more.
00:15:56Are you sure about that?
00:15:57I guess we'll find out.
00:16:27I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline.
00:16:36Open the door.
00:16:39I'm coming.
00:16:45Ignoring your mother.
00:16:46That's such childish behavior.
00:16:50Why, Mum, I didn't know it was you.
00:16:52Carbs, really.
00:16:54You need to watch your figure, but anyway, we'll talk about that later.
00:16:57I'm here for a different reason.
00:16:59What reason?
00:17:01Well, must I spell it out for you?
00:17:03I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Blackthorns.
00:17:06I told you what happened.
00:17:07Please don't tell me you came all this way just to talk about it again.
00:17:11That I teach you nothing about perseverance.
00:17:14Yeah, you have a chance to change your life and even find love along the way.
00:17:18And you want to throw it away just because of one small little comment.
00:17:23Seriously, something you mean?
00:17:24Eva, I'm not asking you to reach out or even apologize to them.
00:17:28I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:17:32I made a promise to you, Mr. Blackthorn, and I want to keep that.
00:17:35You speak like it's an obligation, but I know you didn't sign anything.
00:17:38No.
00:17:43Don't.
00:17:50John or Jack.
00:17:58John Blackthorn, what are you doing here?
00:18:24Are you stalking me?
00:18:26How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:18:28I'm sorry.
00:18:29I didn't mean to start with you.
00:18:31Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:18:33You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:18:36My bad.
00:18:37I just wanted to talk to you and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:18:42Oh, yeah.
00:18:43Sorry about what?
00:18:46For being a two-faced Mr. Nice Guy?
00:18:48Or for being dumb when your brother insulted me?
00:18:51Eva, I'm...
00:18:52That's Evangeline to you.
00:18:55Right.
00:18:56Evangeline.
00:18:58I swear to you, I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:19:02I meant every word I said about how beautiful you are.
00:19:06I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:10My brother can be...
00:19:11difficult sometimes.
00:19:13I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:19:16Well, that sounded better this time, but...
00:19:21I hope you know that I was...
00:19:23Look out!
00:19:23That was close.
00:19:32I really thought he was best to knock me over.
00:19:34If he hadn't grabbed me, I'd be lying on the road by now.
00:19:36Are you sure you're okay?
00:19:38You're not hurt anywhere?
00:19:39It's fine.
00:19:40You just miss me.
00:19:42You saved me.
00:19:42You're my hero.
00:19:43No, no.
00:19:45It's nothing like that.
00:19:46I just happened to be looking at the road at the right time.
00:19:49You know, I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days.
00:19:57You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:20:00How did you get my number?
00:20:02Well, I...
00:20:04When you weren't answering and I needed to get a hold of you,
00:20:06I called Mr. Frank, who then called...
00:20:09My mother.
00:20:10She loves to meddle.
00:20:12Can I give you a ride home?
00:20:13Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:20:40Again, I'm sorry about what happened.
00:20:43And how something that started so nicely ended up so messy.
00:20:48And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:20:52It's okay.
00:20:53I'm over it now.
00:20:54And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:20:57Yeah, but I could have made sure you weren't...
00:21:01Sorry.
00:21:04No, it's okay.
00:21:05No, it's okay.
00:21:11Family.
00:21:12This...
00:21:13This is me, so...
00:21:15Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:21:17Yeah, that'd be great.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:24This...
00:21:24This...
00:21:25This buckles...
00:21:25This buckles kind of stuck.
00:21:27Here, here.
00:21:28You just need to...
00:21:29Press it in like this.
00:21:39Damn it.
00:21:39It's...
00:21:40It's work.
00:21:40I need to take this.
00:21:42Yeah.
00:21:43Um...
00:21:43Thanks.
00:21:44Thanks for the ride.
00:21:44I will never forget how scared you were when you thought a dead frog would come back to
00:21:55life and haunt you.
00:21:57I swear it looked me straight in the eye before it took its last breath.
00:22:00Probably memorizing my face so it could have its afterlife vengeance attack.
00:22:04Wasn't it for the school project?
00:22:06Um, you were...
00:22:07Oh my god, you were so scared that you were shivering all night.
00:22:09The lights aren't even up to midnight.
00:22:11It's funny now, but back then it was a very different matter, I can assure you.
00:22:17You know what?
00:22:19Your mum was in stitches about the whole thing.
00:22:22No, she wasn't.
00:22:23She believed me.
00:22:24Aw, well, come on.
00:22:25I think she just made you not feel terrible.
00:22:29That's probably true.
00:22:30But in my ten-year-old brain, mum believed in the ghosts of vindictive frogs.
00:22:36Yeah.
00:22:38It's just something else.
00:22:41I mean, they do me so.
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:44Me too.
00:22:46And dad too, of course.
00:22:50Always look at this photo of the four of us.
00:22:52Together.
00:22:58We used to have dinner as a weekly tradition.
00:23:01Why don't we do that anymore?
00:23:02I don't know, we were just...
00:23:05I think things got sad after mum died and we became busy, dad died, and I think we just
00:23:13lost the feeling of what it's like to be a family again.
00:23:18Well, why don't we change that?
00:23:19I've lost my appetite.
00:23:21I'll leave you to it, Johnny boy.
00:23:27Ah, Johnny boy.
00:23:44Welcome.
00:23:45Take a seat.
00:23:46Look, I've got the chef to make your favourite meal.
00:23:50Wow.
00:23:52It all looks so good.
00:23:54And you're in a very good mood tonight.
00:23:57Mm-hmm.
00:23:57Yes.
00:23:57I thought after the way you stormed out last night I'd have to be worried about you.
00:24:01Don't worry about that.
00:24:02I've got that under control as usual.
00:24:04Well, maybe better now.
00:24:06We'll cheese to the night.
00:24:07Cheers.
00:24:11I hope you've worked up a big appetite.
00:24:13It's going to become a three-course meal.
00:24:15I'm as hungry as I've ever been.
00:24:16Mm.
00:24:17It all looks delicious.
00:24:19So, I noticed Miss Harris called you yesterday.
00:24:25I didn't realise you guys were becoming safe place.
00:24:27So surprised.
00:24:29It's nothing serious.
00:24:30I reached out to apologise to her, and we've been friendly ever since.
00:24:36So you're making progress, right?
00:24:38Sneaking slowly to her heart.
00:24:41One phone call at a time.
00:24:44What's next?
00:24:46Six on the beach.
00:24:49Jack, please.
00:24:51Don't start that now.
00:24:53Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:24:55Hmm.
00:24:56Not at all.
00:24:59Oh.
00:24:59What is that?
00:25:05Guess who's going to have Eva work under him?
00:25:07You asked to see me?
00:25:30Yes, I did.
00:25:32Have a seat.
00:25:34I don't understand.
00:25:35What are you doing here?
00:25:37Well, I bought the Hotel of the Old Owners.
00:25:39It's simple as that.
00:25:40You shopped to see me since the first time we met.
00:25:43Have you spoken about me, at least?
00:25:45Well, I know you and my brother have been speaking.
00:25:47You know, would you think I'm just going to vanish into thin air?
00:25:51No, I didn't ask about you.
00:25:53You went out of a prick that day.
00:25:56Watch your tone, young lady.
00:25:58You don't want to be getting fired to speak to the boss now, would you?
00:26:01Of course not.
00:26:03You don't have to walk.
00:26:04It's not going to ask you to blow me or anything.
00:26:07Well, not yet.
00:26:09I think HR would hate dear about that.
00:26:11I don't give a shit about HR.
00:26:14I own HR, which means I own you.
00:26:17Well, that would be all, Miss Harris.
00:26:19You can get back to work.
00:26:21But my brother doesn't need to know about this.
00:26:22Just the man I was looking for.
00:26:51Why is it this time?
00:26:53Take a look at this.
00:26:55Blackthorn Corporation isn't doing as badly as we'd feared.
00:26:58It's not as good as when Dad was here, but still alive and kicking.
00:27:04I've got some news, but I'm not sure if you're going to like it.
00:27:08I think it can wait.
00:27:09Can we take a look at this first?
00:27:11You can tell me after.
00:27:12No, it can't wait.
00:27:16Okay.
00:27:17You have my attention.
00:27:19What is it?
00:27:19I'm afraid I have to relinquish some of my responsibilities at Blackthorn Corp.
00:27:24What?
00:27:25Why?
00:27:26I bought a hotel.
00:27:27You bought a hotel?
00:27:28The Bellevue Hotel.
00:27:29I've just signed the papers.
00:27:30Why the fuck would you do that?
00:27:33You're barely even here.
00:27:34Now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:27:36It's money from my own fund.
00:27:38You don't have to worry.
00:27:39I just thought I'd let you know because I won't be around much longer.
00:27:42I want to think settle down.
00:27:46It's the hotel management.
00:27:47I'd best be off.
00:27:57This is quite a surprise.
00:27:59I mean, it's a good surprise.
00:28:01Yes, come in.
00:28:02So, this is your place.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:13Welcome to how the other half lives.
00:28:16I didn't mean...
00:28:18Isn't this what your father wanted for you?
00:28:21To mingle with the lower class?
00:28:24I'm just messing with you.
00:28:27Okay.
00:28:29These are for you.
00:28:30What's that phone is?
00:28:35My favourite thing.
00:28:37How did you know?
00:28:39I made a good guess.
00:28:51Somehow, I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:28:56Come on, tell me the truth.
00:28:59Okay, fine.
00:29:01You told me you really liked chrysanthemums since you were little.
00:29:05And your grandpa used to grow them in his garden.
00:29:08Yeah, I do like them.
00:29:10They're beautiful and unique.
00:29:17I'm glad you love them.
00:29:19I almost got you wild orchids.
00:29:20I mean, I do like those too.
00:29:22I would have cooked dinner, but I do have chocolate chip ice cream.
00:29:32My favourite flavour.
00:29:34What's yours?
00:29:35Boring old vanilla ice cream.
00:29:37Vanilla isn't always boring.
00:29:41It's, um, it's nice and plain.
00:29:50I'm sorry.
00:29:52I mean, I was trying to think of another adjective.
00:29:54I mean, I was trying to think of another adjective, um...
00:29:56It's not nice.
00:30:00You're staring.
00:30:06Do I have something on my face?
00:30:07No.
00:30:09No.
00:30:09You're perfect.
00:30:11You're so beautiful, like Angeline.
00:30:15Thank you, I'm quite handsome.
00:30:19So...
00:30:20May I kiss you?
00:30:36No.
00:30:38Sorry, I don't know what came over me.
00:30:40It's all right, we just got a panic.
00:30:42Right.
00:30:45That's all.
00:30:47Did you know Jack was going to buy the hotel where I work?
00:30:50Is this some kind of weird game you guys are playing of inheritance?
00:30:54No.
00:30:55I had no idea he was going to do that.
00:30:59My brother talks cryptically, and he can be hard to decode sometimes.
00:31:02He didn't mention anything until a few minutes before you called.
00:31:06How come he can afford to buy a whole freaking hotel?
00:31:09Aren't you guys supposed to be hanging on to your father's properties?
00:31:13Yes, we are.
00:31:15But his purchase didn't exactly make a dent in our savings.
00:31:19We both have healthy trust funds.
00:31:22Jack just took some money out of his to buy the hotel.
00:31:26Well, isn't it just fantastic if rich boys can do that?
00:31:29So what do I do?
00:31:31I like my job and I need it.
00:31:33But Jack told me to watch my back.
00:31:35I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
00:31:37I think he was just saying that to freak you out.
00:31:41He wouldn't have told me about the hotel if he didn't want me to know.
00:31:44I can't believe my new boss is trying to marry me so he can get a couple million dollars.
00:31:49Ahem.
00:31:50More than a couple billion, actually.
00:31:55Wow, I feel even more special.
00:31:59I should be going.
00:32:01Let me know if anything.
00:32:02I know you'll probably want to leave, but would you like some pizza?
00:32:13It's good.
00:32:14I don't want to intrude.
00:32:15I'm just inviting you to join me.
00:32:18Just two friends eating pizza and jetty met life.
00:32:21Is that what we are?
00:32:23Friends?
00:32:24I think so.
00:32:25We're close enough, at least.
00:32:27Even though I kissed you?
00:32:29Yes, even though you kissed me.
00:32:31Fine.
00:32:43This is so cozy.
00:32:44I know.
00:32:47I can't remember the last time I was just hanging out like this.
00:32:50You're welcome.
00:33:01Swear to God.
00:33:06What?
00:33:06What was that?
00:33:07I noticed the look on your face.
00:33:09It's nothing serious.
00:33:11Just work.
00:33:12I don't have to deal with it right now.
00:33:14I don't have to deal with it right now.
00:33:17I'll be all right then.
00:33:20I just...
00:33:21I'm still thinking about the fact that, you know, Jack is now my boss.
00:33:31Will you bring it up with him?
00:33:37No.
00:33:38Not yet, at least.
00:33:41I think it's best if he thinks he has the upper hand for now.
00:33:46What happens next?
00:33:49I don't know, Eva.
00:33:51But I promise you, he'll do nothing stupid.
00:33:55You have my word.
00:34:01Hello, my beautiful Eva.
00:34:10Work is hectic this morning, and I'm meeting until later.
00:34:13How does dinner sound tonight?
00:34:14Yours, John.
00:34:17I can't wait, thinking about liberty.
00:34:20Have a great day, Eva.
00:34:22Eva?
00:34:24Are you on your phone right now?
00:34:25This is not your personal space.
00:34:28Must I remind you that you're at work,
00:34:29and you must be focusing on that.
00:34:32My apologies, sir.
00:34:33I was just checking my calendar.
00:34:34Ah, your calendar.
00:34:36How timely.
00:34:38I promise I'm up to date on my morning tasks,
00:34:41and I'm just currently waiting for candidates for the sous-chef role.
00:34:44I promise I haven't been slacking off.
00:34:47Well, I'll be the judge of that,
00:34:48because I'll be supervising all interviews from now.
00:34:51All right, of course.
00:34:53Of course.
00:34:54Of course, Mr. Blackburns, sir.
00:34:57You're my first now, Miss Harris.
00:34:59There's something I need to show you,
00:35:00and it's urgent.
00:35:10Please shut the door behind you.
00:35:20Is there something wrong?
00:35:22As a matter of fact, there is.
00:35:23What's this?
00:35:28Go ahead and open it.
00:35:29It's a little present from me to you.
00:35:31I'm sure you'll find the contents quite interesting.
00:35:39What's this?
00:35:39When was this taken?
00:35:41These are pictures of my brother
00:35:43with his little fling at a fancy restaurant.
00:35:45This isn't real.
00:35:47This is AI dog food or something.
00:35:49I knew you'd say something like that,
00:35:51so I have even stronger proof.
00:35:53Yes, see, my friends of the restaurant,
00:35:55I am quite close with the son,
00:35:56and he could easily get the live feed,
00:35:58and now I owe him.
00:36:01One way or another?
00:36:03This is fake,
00:36:04and I believe you.
00:36:05Oh, you have magically fallen in love with him,
00:36:08haven't you?
00:36:09Don't tell me you're fucking him.
00:36:12Oh, wow.
00:36:14I didn't see this one come in.
00:36:16Wow, Johnny boy is working so quickly.
00:36:19Good on him.
00:36:21Since you have, you know,
00:36:22enough of the doubt for him,
00:36:23why don't you give him a call
00:36:24and ask for the camera footage yourself?
00:36:26There's only one way to find that now, isn't it?
00:36:37Call him.
00:36:56Hello, it's me.
00:37:01How's it going?
00:37:06You're in a meeting right now, is that correct?
00:37:11Uh-huh.
00:37:16Oh, Eva, don't be so sad.
00:37:20These women don't last long,
00:37:22and I'm sure he's going to call
00:37:24and say it's just a business medium,
00:37:25but anyone with eyes and ears and a head
00:37:29will know that's nothing like that.
00:37:33Why are you doing this?
00:37:35Oh, well, I want to make sure
00:37:37that you know what kind of man my brother really is.
00:37:39Then let me guess.
00:37:41You're the upstanding brother
00:37:42who's doing his betterment for the world,
00:37:45is that what this is?
00:37:49You can't pretend, even for a second,
00:37:51you haven't done this for your own nefarious purposes.
00:37:53No matter how selfless you want to appear,
00:37:56you're no better than your brother.
00:37:58In fact,
00:37:59I see more similarities and differences in you two now.
00:38:04Watch your turn, young woman.
00:38:06Maybe you forgot I'm still your boss.
00:38:08You don't want to get fired now
00:38:10over losing the temper of a son man, do you?
00:38:12That's okay, you go back to the office now.
00:38:21Don't worry about the interviews,
00:38:22I'll take care of that.
00:38:23No, let me handle the interviews.
00:38:25I don't need a day off.
00:38:28Okay, fine, but make sure you're efficient.
00:38:30I don't want to hear any reports
00:38:32of my junior manager bursting into tears
00:38:34while screening new stuff.
00:38:36That'll be highly embarrassing.
00:38:37I'll make sure everything goes well.
00:38:47Hey, you.
00:38:50How was your meeting?
00:38:53You know, the one that took hours and hours of your time?
00:38:57It must have been really important.
00:38:58No, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it
00:39:03to dinner tonight.
00:39:04I'm not feeling too good,
00:39:06so we'll have to make a rain check
00:39:08until further notice.
00:39:23That's one quick delivery.
00:39:25Well, it's you.
00:39:27There you are.
00:39:27I've been knocking for ages.
00:39:30Your TV was so loud.
00:39:32I brought you ice cream.
00:39:34That's not necessary.
00:39:35I'm doing okay.
00:39:37Are you sure, Yuba?
00:39:39You don't look so good.
00:39:41Have you been to the doctor?
00:39:43Is everything okay with you, John?
00:39:45You sound pissed off with me.
00:39:47What's wrong?
00:39:48You're acting strange,
00:39:50and you haven't even let me come in.
00:39:53I don't think this is a conversation
00:39:54we should be having in the hallway.
00:39:56Strange?
00:39:57Or am I just not all over you like the other night?
00:40:00I guess you want to repeat.
00:40:02Too bad.
00:40:03It's not going to happen.
00:40:04What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
00:40:07Are you going to keep spitting cryptic phrases like that?
00:40:10Or are you going to let me come in
00:40:10so we can have a civilized conversation?
00:40:13The ice cream's melting.
00:40:14I don't give a shit about the melting ice cream.
00:40:18I hope it ruins your expensive shoes.
00:40:20The last time we spoke, you were cheerful.
00:40:22Now you're acting like a dog pissed in your cereal.
00:40:25If I said or did something wrong,
00:40:27just let me know, okay?
00:40:29Fuck off.
00:40:30That's what I want to tell you.
00:40:31Fuck off.
00:40:32That's what I want to tell you.
00:40:36Where is this coming from?
00:40:38You didn't give me a single clue that anything was wrong
00:40:41and now you're blowing up in my face.
00:40:43You know, I ordered Chinese food, but ice cream will do.
00:40:47Are you even listening to me?
00:40:49You're acting like I'm not even talking to you.
00:40:51You came to check up on me, and you've done that.
00:40:55You brought me my ice cream.
00:40:56We can go any merry way.
00:40:59Don't you dare touch me.
00:41:01What the hell, Evangeline?
00:41:03You're being childish and lashing out for no good reason.
00:41:07If you didn't want to see me,
00:41:08you could have given me a single phone call.
00:41:10You didn't have to fake illness just to get out of seeing me.
00:41:13Yeah, whatever.
00:41:15You can see yourself out.
00:41:17Have a nice lunch.
00:41:19Eva, wait!
00:41:21But of course I'll pay you back.
00:41:29Disgust you say such a thing.
00:41:31Well, you know how things go.
00:41:33One good turn turns to another.
00:41:36Anyway, I've got to go.
00:41:37I'll call you back later.
00:41:38Bye.
00:41:45Hey, brother.
00:41:47What are you doing here?
00:41:49Is it a crime to come check up on family?
00:41:51What are you really doing here, John?
00:41:53I doubt family concerns brought you here.
00:41:56Would you come to see Eva?
00:41:58I know you know she works here,
00:41:59and she does look gorgeous in that tight body.
00:42:02You keep her name out of your mouth.
00:42:05So I am right.
00:42:06You did come all this way just to see your little girlfriend.
00:42:09Don't tell me you've had a little rocky patch now, have you?
00:42:13How do you know about that?
00:42:15Maybe she told me.
00:42:17Why do I get the feeling that you had something to do with it?
00:42:19Well, why don't you ask yourself?
00:42:22I'm sure she'll be in here in a second.
00:42:24Funnily enough, why don't you count down with me in five, four, three...
00:42:29These are the reports you asked for.
00:42:37These are the reports you asked for.
00:42:39Ah, please come in.
00:42:41Right on time.
00:42:42I had just finished speaking with IT.
00:42:44They've made the changes you've requested already,
00:42:46and I was able to export the new data into the system.
00:42:50Have you?
00:42:51Look, why don't you come a little bit closer?
00:42:52You seem a bit comfortable over there.
00:42:59You're really going to act like you can't see me right now?
00:43:02Eva, that'll be all now.
00:43:03Uh, we do need a cross-check to make sure the figure's all right,
00:43:07and make sure it's all foolproof, all right?
00:43:09Okay, I'll get on to that right now,
00:43:11and I'll check the new schedules.
00:43:17Please move out of my way.
00:43:19You're acting like I'm radioactive.
00:43:21John, can you please step aside and let her get to work, thank you.
00:43:24You stay out of this, Jack.
00:43:26It's none of your business.
00:43:27This is between me and her.
00:43:29There is nothing between you and I.
00:43:31In fact, I doubt there ever was.
00:43:33You fucking asshole.
00:43:40What bullshit did you tell her now?
00:43:41Watch your tone, young man.
00:43:43You're not the boss around here.
00:43:46If you don't watch yourself, Johnny boy,
00:43:48I might just get to see you to escort your little bum bum out of here now.
00:43:51Whatever you did,
00:43:52I'm going to get some bottom of it.
00:44:00It'll be less stressful if you had a strawberry drink.
00:44:03No, I'm good with this, thank you.
00:44:06Has my brother tried contacting you?
00:44:08He was quite adamant last time.
00:44:09No, he hasn't.
00:44:12That's good.
00:44:15Some of the staff have been approved turned off,
00:44:16so we just need to adjust the budgets.
00:44:19Let me see that.
00:44:20Yeah, that's much better.
00:44:23I can really see this thing, believe it or not.
00:44:27So I'll just need your roster here and here.
00:44:31I told you how beautiful you look today.
00:44:34What?
00:44:35Don't act all surprised.
00:44:37You surely have to know how you act around me when you dress like that.
00:44:39I think we're done for the day.
00:44:41I think we're done for the day.
00:44:46I'm going to look to the touches.
00:44:48What the hell are you doing?
00:44:49Jack, that head's let go of me.
00:45:02That's exactly what I'm doing.
00:45:03You're not so naive.
00:45:05Jack, stop.
00:45:07Why is there a system?
00:45:09I know you want it.
00:45:12I'm so sorry.
00:45:14This is a sexual assault.
00:45:19You won't get away.
00:45:21I thought that girl would be able to cry.
00:45:24Fucking bitch, where is going?
00:45:26Ah!
00:45:39What's this?
00:45:41That's a half a million dollars.
00:45:43Yours, yeah.
00:45:45Fine.
00:45:46I know you didn't just call me out of the blue for nothing.
00:45:52I was coming to you because I know your daughter's best interest at heart.
00:45:56She's especially got that evil.
00:46:00Now I can tell that you know your way around words.
00:46:02Can we just get straight to the point, please?
00:46:05Alright then.
00:46:07You're aware of stipulations in my father's will.
00:46:09Sure.
00:46:10I want to marry your daughter.
00:46:12There's been a misunderstanding.
00:46:13And I need you to smooth it over.
00:46:16What?
00:46:16Because, well, you're the only one your daughter looks up to.
00:46:20So what type of misunderstanding was this?
00:46:22I mean, why don't you just go to her and ask her forgiveness?
00:46:24I mean, my daughter doesn't hold grudges.
00:46:27I know my daughter.
00:46:28Well, that's between your daughter and I.
00:46:30I hope you understand.
00:46:31No, you see, I don't understand.
00:46:33Because you just made it my business by bringing it to me.
00:46:36Now tell me, was this a misunderstanding of a sexual nature?
00:46:41And was this misunderstanding non-concentral?
00:46:47As I said, this is between your daughter and I.
00:46:49I'm aware I'll see you when I know what happens behind closed doors.
00:46:52Now, you see, you are more than a twisted, rich prick.
00:46:57If you think you're going to pay me to hush my daughter.
00:47:04Is that so?
00:47:05Yes, very so.
00:47:06Now, I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve.
00:47:10But I can tell you this.
00:47:12It's nothing compared to the wrath of an angry woman.
00:47:15Well...
00:47:16And you can best believe
00:47:17that if you did something bad to her,
00:47:20you'll pay for it.
00:47:22That I'll have to agree with.
00:47:25But how angry and heartbreaking would your daughter feel
00:47:27when she knows this is the first sweetener
00:47:29that you got from the Blackthorns?
00:47:32Sweetener?
00:47:33I don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:34I'm not done, Miss Harris.
00:47:36I didn't just come to you because I was feeling sentimental
00:47:39about your relationship with your daughter.
00:47:41I came here to offer you more money
00:47:43and additional payment that you got.
00:47:44for my father to introduce me.
00:47:47I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:47:49Spare me the bullshit.
00:47:51I've seen your signature in a couple of documents.
00:47:53I just wonder how same my father was
00:47:55when he changed the world.
00:47:57Best of my knowledge,
00:47:59only a minor would need a guardian signature.
00:48:01What do I know?
00:48:03That's not what happened.
00:48:05But I do know that in the court of law,
00:48:07a carer such as yourself
00:48:09taken advantage of a poor man's dying...
00:48:11What do you expect me to do, Jack?
00:48:13Hmm?
00:48:15Wave this magic wand
00:48:16and just miraculously have my daughter forgive you?
00:48:19I don't know about your world,
00:48:20but in mine it doesn't work that way.
00:48:22It's a beautiful thing right now, isn't it?
00:48:24Maybe you should mention John
00:48:25or Alice Lee's name to your daughter.
00:48:27Maybe that will help.
00:48:28I'm sure you'd be more successful
00:48:30and a lot richer
00:48:30if you knew how to play your cards right.
00:48:32Maybe you might get the figginess of your daughter.
00:48:35I'm not sure,
00:48:35but that's up to you.
00:48:36So long, the Bellevue Hotel.
00:48:51I don't know.
00:48:55I don't know.
00:49:04Hi darling.
00:49:06How are you doing?
00:49:08Well, I thought I wasn't seeing you
00:49:10to our lunch next week.
00:49:11Oh, well I was in the neighbourhood
00:49:13and I thought I'd put her in some pizza.
00:49:16Oh, little good room.
00:49:17Thank you for the pizza. Let's, um, let's have this right away.
00:49:21Pleasure. So, how have you been doing? You look really relaxed today.
00:49:26You, um, you haven't told me that my hair looks like a bird's nest or the baggy clothes I'm wearing.
00:49:34I'm going to squeeze the air off for serious love.
00:49:37Well, okay, so I can't even give you a compliment now and it's taken the opposite way.
00:49:41I can't even say nice things to you now.
00:49:43Rather tell me how is things with that blackthorn boy that you were smiling about the other day?
00:49:49Um, you mean John? Yeah.
00:49:51Um, we're no longer together. I honestly don't know if we ever were.
00:49:56Oh, okay. And what about the other one? Um, I think it also starts with a J.
00:50:01Jack. Yeah. His name's Jack. I remember. Jack.
00:50:04How's things with him last? I heard, uh, he was actually now your boss or something.
00:50:08Things between us are how they should be.
00:50:11What does that mean? Is there something else going on?
00:50:14You know that you can talk to me, sweetie.
00:50:16It was, uh, an incident between me and Jack.
00:50:27You got physical.
00:50:29Were you guys drinking?
00:50:31No, Mom. I wasn't drinking. Neither was he.
00:50:34Okay. I'm just asking. I mean, you know, what do you think is going to happen if you're alone with your boss?
00:50:41I mean, he's a handsome boy and you guys must be attracted to each other.
00:50:45What are you saying? That I wanted this? I didn't.
00:50:49I'm just saying you can use this to your advantage. I mean, things didn't work out with you and John. Why not just go with the other brother?
00:50:57That is so messed up. He tried to assault me. Can you hear yourself? I've just been through something really traumatic and I won't hear any more from you.
00:51:08I can't do this with you anymore, Mom. Every time I think we're trying to bond, you just start making unreasonable demands and...
00:51:16Can you just please, please?
00:51:18Fine.
00:51:38Adrian mobile, Beyonce has stepped down to Harrison's title. This is Colin Strait. On the Hill News that the deal with the Blackforn Corporation is finally been sealed.
00:51:48Oh, my dear.
00:51:51The photo doesn't engage her somewhere.
00:52:04Hey.
00:52:07Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:52:14You sounded desperate.
00:52:16It was the least I could do.
00:52:18I know what it feels like not to be hurt.
00:52:23I'm sorry about that.
00:52:26I did that because I just wanted to lash out and hurt you the same way you hurt me.
00:52:32For the hundredth time, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:52:36Could you please get straight to the point?
00:52:38Why do you want to see me now?
00:52:40It's been weeks since you slammed your door in my face.
00:52:43I wanted to apologize because I opted unfairly.
00:52:49I was shown pictures in a live video of you and a beautiful Asian woman.
00:52:54Who?
00:52:55Ellis Wee?
00:52:57That's ridiculous. She's a client.
00:53:00I know that now, but at the time it seemed like you guys were much more than clients and...
00:53:05Trust me, I just saw you guys live.
00:53:09Who showed you those pictures and videos?
00:53:12Who wanted to tear us apart?
00:53:16It was Jack, wasn't it?
00:53:19Yes, it was Jack. He completely manipulated me.
00:53:23He had access to security footage and I completely fell for it.
00:53:28I just... I realized who she was after I saw a news segment of her and her fiancé.
00:53:37Oh.
00:53:38I'm here to apologize for the unkind way I treated you.
00:53:41And I embarrassed you and...
00:53:44Can you please forgive me?
00:53:46I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you, John.
00:54:00Jack is a master manipulator.
00:54:06But I can't believe he got access to the security footage.
00:54:09I could sue for violation of privacy.
00:54:12I doubt the owners thought it through.
00:54:15I don't think so either, but Jack mentioned something about owing someone a favor.
00:54:20You must be so hurt.
00:54:22I'm sorry you were put in that position.
00:54:25Of course I forgive you.
00:54:26Why are you so kind to me?
00:54:30You should make me grovel. I deserve it.
00:54:33There's no point in that.
00:54:36We've wasted weeks already.
00:54:39I've missed you so much.
00:54:41I've missed you too.
00:54:51My lips are as soft as ever.
00:54:52I've missed you too.
00:54:54I've missed you too.
00:54:58Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:55:00How did you...
00:55:01Did you see something?
00:55:03No, it's just...
00:55:05You were friendlier to him.
00:55:07That day at the office.
00:55:09No, nothing happened.
00:55:11Except when he tried to force himself upon me.
00:55:14It was... it was late.
00:55:15He did what?
00:55:17Fine.
00:55:19He didn't rape me.
00:55:20That fucking asshole.
00:55:22That son of a bitch! I gotta fucking kill him!
00:55:26Don't make excuses for him.
00:55:28What he did was fucked up.
00:55:29What the fuck's going on here?
00:55:41What the fuck does it look like, brother?
00:55:43My darling and I are just enjoying dinner together in our family home.
00:55:47Isn't that right, sweetheart?
00:55:48Yes, it is.
00:55:49The pasta is the best I've ever tasted in my life.
00:55:51No, isn't that nice?
00:55:53Jack, surely you'd like to join us?
00:55:55Join you.
00:55:57No, thank you.
00:55:59Okay.
00:56:01Your loss.
00:56:02It's good to see you both have reached each other again.
00:56:03How sweet.
00:56:04You must be thrilled.
00:56:06Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:56:07It only took us a short while to find each other and that's how you know it's real.
00:56:08Right.
00:56:09And you've been missing work because of your lover.
00:56:10No.
00:56:12I've been missing work since then?
00:56:13No.
00:56:14Oh, that's.
00:56:17I've just missed your turn so much.
00:56:18What are you doing, you know, and you've missed your favourite time?
00:56:21What is your favourite?
00:56:23It's not so nice?
00:56:25It's so nice to see you both have reached each other again.
00:56:28How sweet.
00:56:31You must be thrilled.
00:56:32Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:56:35It only took us a short while to find each other and that's how you know it's real.
00:56:38Right, and you've been missing work because of your lover.
00:56:40I've been missing work because my boss assaulted me.
00:56:44I had to resign.
00:56:46Or maybe HR hasn't mentioned that to you yet.
00:56:49Assault?
00:56:50You'd both know you seduce me.
00:56:53What assault?
00:56:54And HR?
00:56:56Joan, she's fucking lying.
00:56:59Can you repeat that please?
00:57:01Slower this time.
00:57:03I don't think I quite heard you the first time.
00:57:06She's a white-
00:57:07Eva's only here because her mummy sold her off.
00:57:12You don't know mummy told you this.
00:57:15What the hell are you talking about?
00:57:17What do you mean she sold me off?
00:57:18You don't know.
00:57:21Mama Harris put an extra clause into the claim
00:57:25because she wanted more money.
00:57:27What, you think she's just going to kick her daughter up a social ladder?
00:57:31No, no, no.
00:57:32She was only to prove your father gave something in return.
00:57:36You're lying!
00:57:37You're lying!
00:57:45Am I lying?
00:57:47Am I lying?
00:57:49Maybe you should ask her yourself.
00:57:51So the first time she's had Blackthorn money stuffed in her pocket,
00:57:57did she surprise you with a visit?
00:58:00Yeah, she did.
00:58:01So that was you, you pushed it on me.
00:58:06My lips are sealed.
00:58:08When did you become such a terrible person, Jack?
00:58:11You're destroying the relationship between a mother and a daughter just to get what you want.
00:58:16She's already made her choice.
00:58:18Eva has chosen me just as I have chosen her.
00:58:22It's over, Jack.
00:58:24No, no.
00:58:27It's not over.
00:58:29It's not over.
00:58:39Please say something.
00:58:40I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry we've put you through so much.
00:58:47You didn't ask for any of this.
00:58:49I'm sorry that your mother hasn't been honest with you.
00:58:54That revelation about her must have hurt so much.
00:58:57I wonder why she just pushed Jack's assault to me on the side.
00:59:06She just...
00:59:08She doesn't seem to care about the trauma I went through.
00:59:16She just told me,
00:59:17Look on the bright side.
00:59:22It's crazy that she pushed Jack onto me after what he did.
00:59:27I've been so stupid.
00:59:32Don't say that.
00:59:34You're kind, smart, and good.
00:59:38And vulnerable to people trying to take advantage of you.
00:59:47What are you doing?
00:59:51Will you marry me?
00:59:52Will you marry me?
00:59:57Will you marry me?
00:59:59Yes.
01:00:00Yes, John, yes.
01:00:09Now we can finally put an end to all of this bullshit with my brother.
01:00:12I don't wait to see the look in his face when we tell him who I'm going to engage.
01:00:17He's going to be furious.
01:00:21Okay, but we have to tell the lawyer about what's happened.
01:00:27Yes.
01:00:29But first,
01:00:30we need to celebrate.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:33You're going to be my lovely wife, Eva.
01:00:36Cheers to us.
01:00:37Cheers.
01:00:38What the heavenly fuck?
01:00:55We'll see about this.
01:00:58When can I see you, it's urgent.
01:01:01When are you available?
01:01:03Yes, it's about the will.
01:01:04I will help my office as soon as I can.
01:01:07No, John doesn't need to know about this.
01:01:09It's none of his concern.
01:01:18You got yourself into this,
01:01:19and the only way out for you is to hold up your end of the bargain.
01:01:23My end of the bargain?
01:01:24You tampered with a contract,
01:01:26and now everything is messed up.
01:01:28My daughter won't even speak to me.
01:01:31You can't just...
01:01:34What was that?
01:01:36She just flew out of here.
01:01:40That's confidential.
01:01:41Yeah, yeah, of course it is.
01:01:43Man, whoever that was, she was pissed.
01:01:45You said you had something to tell me.
01:01:46Something about the will?
01:01:48I have news.
01:01:50Please, sir.
01:01:51This is going to blow everything up in the air.
01:01:53Yes, yes, I'm listening.
01:01:55I want to contest my father's will.
01:01:56What?
01:01:58Well, he signed it,
01:01:59and he was forced by Anna Harris.
01:02:00Probably under duress.
01:02:01What?
01:02:02Well, until this gets cleared up,
01:02:04it all stands.
01:02:04If I have to sue John over it, so be it.
01:02:13Oh, Jack.
01:02:14Not so fucking funny.
01:02:17The contract your father signed with Anna Harris
01:02:20was not signed under duress.
01:02:21How can you be so sure of my private investor?
01:02:23Sure, because I was there when it was signed.
01:02:25It was your father's idea to begin with.
01:02:27But that's not possible.
01:02:31It can't be.
01:02:32But why would my father sign a contract?
01:02:34He knew Anna Harris wanted money for her incentive.
01:02:37But he also made sure she had a reason to stay involved
01:02:42even after the money was paid to her.
01:02:44What reason?
01:02:46Your father was a smart man, though not unkind.
01:02:51He didn't get so wealthy by being a pushover.
01:02:55He included a clause in the contract that stipulated that
01:02:59if Angeline did not marry one of his sons,
01:03:01Anna would have to repay the money.
01:03:03Let me guess.
01:03:04Anna didn't know about that before she signed?
01:03:06She did not.
01:03:08Foolishly, she did not read the fine print.
01:03:10Your father left an apology note
01:03:13and me to explain exactly why he did what he did.
01:03:17Fuck.
01:03:19Jack Blackthorn.
01:03:20This is neither the time nor the place of that kind of language.
01:03:23Man, I was so close getting this right.
01:03:27Why is my father always one step ahead?
01:03:30Even from the fucking grave.
01:03:32I understand you're upset,
01:03:34but if you had taken this to court,
01:03:35you would have been humiliated when it got thrown out.
01:03:38You did yourself a favor by coming to me first, son.
01:03:41I'm not your fucking son.
01:03:43You know what?
01:03:44This is all freak from the side.
01:03:46You just want little Johnny Boy to win, huh?
01:03:48Guess what?
01:03:49I'm not going to give over and lay on my fucking grave.
01:03:51I'm not going to give over and have a gun.
01:04:09Come on.
01:04:10What are you doing here?
01:04:21Where's your daughter?
01:04:22Not here.
01:04:25I told you she's not here.
01:04:27Are you deaf?
01:04:29Heron's perfectly fine.
01:04:30Thank you very much.
01:04:31So this is where your daughter lives in this shithole.
01:04:34Because they want you to have fucking thanks for free money.
01:04:36Like a mother, like a daughter.
01:04:38Oh, excuse me.
01:04:39You can't come into my daughter's place and then throw insults around.
01:04:44What are you doing here anyway?
01:04:45You crazy.
01:04:45You need to get out or I'm pulling the cops.
01:04:48Funny, Frigia.
01:04:49You're not even supposed to be here.
01:04:50I'm her mother.
01:04:51I have a key.
01:04:54It was you at the lawyers' office, never mind, wasn't it?
01:04:57You need to get out.
01:05:01If you didn't fuck things up with your daughter, eh, I would have had the upper hand.
01:05:03Oh, excuse me.
01:05:05If you weren't such a sleazy, creepy son of a bitch, you may have stood a chance.
01:05:09You're dirty goldy like your dirty daughter, eh?
01:05:12Guess that movie doesn't fall too far from the train, does it?
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:22Hannah, what the fuck?
01:05:23Say something.
01:05:24Ew.
01:05:26Ew.
01:05:26What are you saying?
01:05:28Help.
01:05:29Help.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:05:33Hannah, don't you, don't you get dying on me?
01:05:43There's a woman that she's, she's unconscious, she's suddenly fell.
01:05:46I don't know anything about medication, she's in her head.
01:05:56Pick up your fucking fucking joint, pick up.
01:06:02What the fuck is she, fuck?
01:06:05I can't even.
01:06:05Oh, my God.
01:06:35I feel like I'm going to miss this place.
01:06:55Even though it's small, but I was independent and happy here.
01:07:00Don't get too comfy.
01:07:01If we're only here to pick up your things, you're going to love living in the mansion.
01:07:09That's weird.
01:07:12What's weird?
01:07:13Something feels off.
01:07:16I don't know.
01:07:17The apartment seems cleaner than I remember.
01:07:20Maybe your mother came by.
01:07:22You mentioned she had a key.
01:07:23Yeah, I did, sir.
01:07:25And I hated this place.
01:07:26Cleaning is the last thing she'd do here.
01:07:27Maybe you just left it cleaner than you remember.
01:07:35I'd like to bring someone with a quick wear.
01:07:37They're not sophisticated, but I liked it.
01:07:42What about your toiletries?
01:07:44Good idea.
01:07:45I just need to pack my things from the bathroom.
01:07:46Hey, Eva.
01:07:58I need to go.
01:08:01Wait.
01:08:02What?
01:08:02Why?
01:08:04I've been ignoring Jack's calls, but he just sent me a message saying there's been an emergency.
01:08:09I need to go meet him.
01:08:10I hope he's okay and still your brother or not.
01:08:14I'm sure he's fine.
01:08:15It's probably just a flat tire or something.
01:08:18I'll be back ASAP.
01:08:20Okay, stay tuned.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:21Okay.
01:08:40Where's Monday?
01:08:48Where's Monday?
01:08:52That's...
01:08:53That's...
01:08:57That's...
01:09:01That's...
01:09:02That's a kid.
01:09:04You.
01:09:06You just sent you on a message.
01:09:08Yes, I did.
01:09:08What are you doing?
01:09:11Where did you come from?
01:09:14Is this one of your games you're playing yet?
01:09:16Give me that!
01:09:17That's mum's!
01:09:18I'll take that, thank you.
01:09:22You didn't answer my question.
01:09:24What are you doing inside my apartment?
01:09:27So I'm locked and I just walked in.
01:09:29That's impossible.
01:09:31I would have heard you.
01:09:32Why did you text John about an emergency when you were already coming here yourself?
01:09:36What are you trying to imply?
01:09:37You know that I broke into your house or I applied to my brother.
01:09:41I'm not trying to imply anything.
01:09:43That something isn't adding up on the point.
01:09:45Come on, Eva.
01:09:47You can trust me.
01:09:49We're going to be family after all.
01:09:51How did you know about an engagement?
01:09:54Maybe John told me.
01:09:55No, we didn't.
01:09:56Don't say anything.
01:10:15Ahem. Hello, brother. No, I don't know where she is. That mistake was a mistake. Well,
01:10:27I'm out of town right now. Sorry I had something in my throat. Well, wherever she is, I'm sure
01:10:38she'll be home soon. What do you want? Why are you doing this? I haven't figured that one
01:10:49out yet. What I do know is that my brother would do anything for you. Maybe I want to
01:10:53see him suffer. What are you doing, Anna? Stop it, fucking stupid questions!
01:11:08You be a goofy little girl now, don't fucking move. I'll pull a bullet in your head. I won't
01:11:16say anything. Maybe I'll be fucking serious. Whatever it is you want, I'll do it. Just
01:11:24watch. Whatever it is you want, I'll do it. Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I'll send
01:11:30you to meet your mother. What did you just say? What about my mother? Oops, did I say
01:11:37something? Hey! Did you know how to drive a car? Get in the driver's seat now.
01:11:44Yes, I understand, but this is an emergency. Mr. Blackthorn would appreciate it if the matter
01:11:55was dealt with urgently. I understand. Thank you. Is there any news yet?
01:12:06I'm afraid not. The Commissioner insists that we have to wait at least 48 hours before
01:12:11we can declare her missing.
01:12:13Dammit. It's the same thing they told me. Can't they even pretend to care?
01:12:18Have you tried calling Jack again?
01:12:21He isn't answering. I don't know what's wrong with him. First he sends me those cryptic text
01:12:27messages and now he's not answering my calls. Maybe he'll answer yours. I doubt it, but
01:12:34I can try just in case. This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day. He wanted
01:12:48to test your father's will. He was, uh, ready to sue you. What? What do you mean he was
01:12:55ready to sue me? He believed Anna tricked your father into giving her money, and he wanted
01:13:00to prove that that may have impacted her will. That's preposterous. Why wasn't I told about
01:13:06this earlier? I didn't think it was important because I clarified to Jack that he was misguided.
01:13:10I should have been informed immediately. You're meant to be impartial, remember?
01:13:24Hello, Johnny boy. Frankie. What a great evening this is tonight, isn't it? Jack.
01:13:31You're so surprised, are you? Bet you didn't see this one coming out, did you? Huh?
01:13:36Ah, keep him where I can see him now. You don't have to do this, Jack.
01:13:40Nah, I've done something really stupid. I can't take it back now.
01:13:45What did you do? We can work this out, just the two of us.
01:13:49You did something to my mother. Isn't that right, Jack?
01:13:52Shut up, you know what you're talking about!
01:13:58I found Anna's earring in my apartment, and then he threatened to shoot me!
01:14:03No, no, no, no. It's an accident. I didn't mean to die. I didn't mean to kill her.
01:14:15It's okay. Like you said, it was just an accident. We can work this out together.
01:14:21I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to come this way. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
01:14:26It's okay, brother. We can work this out, just the two of us, before all this craziness happened.
01:14:35No, it's not again! You mad at my mother!
01:14:38Eva, no!
01:14:39Ewa!
01:14:53No!
01:14:54.
