00:00:12Happy Anniversary Ella. I love you. I love you too. I have a big surprise for you. You're gonna love
00:00:22it. Follow me.
00:00:26Paul, what is this? Just tell me already. So beautiful. Well, I know you love Starry Nights, so I figure
00:00:41I'd bring them to you. What if I say I love angels? Will you find me one? Even better. I'll
00:00:50take you to them.
00:00:52Paul, what are you talking about? Rest in peace, my dear Ella. Don't worry. I'll look after the Blanchard group
00:01:03for you.
00:01:11Why? Because your dear husband is bound to become mine.
00:01:17No!
00:01:21No!
00:01:22No!
00:01:27No!
00:01:30No!
00:01:31No!
00:01:57Miss Blanchette lost her mom five years ago.
00:02:00Her father remarried Christina, brought along her daughter Thelona, who's a couple years
00:02:05younger than Miss Blanchette.
00:02:07A couple years later, her dad dies.
00:02:09She inherits the Blanchette group and marries Paul.
00:02:13Paul?
00:02:15You mean Paul Astor?
00:02:16Correct.
00:02:17Your nephew, Paul Astor.
00:02:20Why exactly did you save Miss Blanchette?
00:02:24Because she's the girl that saved me.
00:02:30Where'd he go?
00:02:37Sir, look at me, stay with me.
00:02:46I can help you.
00:02:47I have professional training.
00:02:48I know how to stop the bleeding.
00:03:08Let's bounce.
00:03:09Ain't worth messing with a couple of lovebirds.
00:03:22You know I'll, I'll protect you.
00:03:40Where's Mr. Astor?
00:03:41He's been gone for a week.
00:03:43When will he be back?
00:03:44Bossman went to seek a renowned ENT doctor.
00:03:47He will be back tomorrow.
00:03:49Amazing.
00:03:50He keeps me at home day after day.
00:03:51And now is my chance to seek revenge against Paul.
00:03:54I have to move quickly.
00:03:56Ella, we are double training.
00:04:04Mr. Astor, you gotta be discreet.
00:04:07Gotta hide Detroit in, dude.
00:04:11Yeah?
00:04:22Mr. Lanchester.
00:04:23Thank you for coming.
00:04:24Please come here.
00:04:25Mr. Astor.
00:04:30The core issue is neurological.
00:04:33Her brain trauma and emotional distress trigger the speech disorder.
00:04:37There's a chance she could recover naturally if her mood improves.
00:04:58I want to bathe together.
00:05:00What?
00:05:01Mr. Astor, your legs?
00:05:02They're healed?
00:05:27Mr. Astor.
00:05:27Is this your first time?
00:05:29Um, first time what?
00:05:32Mr. Astor?
00:05:34Mr. Astor?
00:05:38Um, not exactly.
00:05:41Mr. Astor.
00:05:44Your face is turning a little bit.
00:05:46Um, because of the water.
00:05:48The water's too hot.
00:05:50Mr. Astor.
00:05:50You should, it's water.
00:05:52Mr. Astor.
00:05:53What do you mean?
00:05:55Mr. Astor?
00:06:19I can't believe I dreamt of Nicholas like that.
00:06:23Anyways, no time for that.
00:06:25I have to find Paul and Flora.
00:06:38Where are you going?
00:06:39I thought you were away on a business trip, Mr. Astor.
00:06:43You finished early.
00:06:44You sent me back to keep an eye on him.
00:06:47Me?
00:06:47How come?
00:06:50Dr. Lanchester made it very clear you need to focus on your recovery.
00:06:53Whatever revenge plans you have, you can wait.
00:07:00Miss Blanchette leaves this room for any reason you're in big trouble.
00:07:03Understood?
00:07:03Yes, sir.
00:07:04Miss Blanchette.
00:07:14Got it.
00:07:27Stop, the punch, please, don't!
00:07:30This cost Mr. Astrid 30 million dollars!
00:07:40Please stop!
00:07:42This is what he gets for locking me up!
00:07:44Please, please stop, Mr. Blanchett!
00:07:47Stop, please!
00:07:52That's his favorite.
00:07:53Please, don't!
00:08:00Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:03Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:05Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:07Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:29Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:30Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:31Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:33Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:44Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:46Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:47Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:47Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:48Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:49Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:52Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:53Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:54Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:56Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:58Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:58Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:58Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:58Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:58Mr. Brunchett!
00:08:59Mr. Brunchett!
00:09:00Mr. Brunchett!
00:09:00Mr. Brunchett!
00:09:02Mr. Brunchett!
00:09:16Oh, I'm done for.
00:09:17He must be furious.
00:09:20I'm sorry.
00:09:21I can explain.
00:09:36It hurts, doesn't it?
00:09:56Hello, if you really want to apologize, apologize for hurting yourself.
00:10:01If you want to break a vase or burn some furniture, just get one of the bodyguards to do it.
00:10:05Don't do it yourself.
00:10:06And if you're still mad about being locked up, I can get them to burn down the whole building,
00:10:11if you want.
00:10:12Oh, no, no, no.
00:10:13No need.
00:10:14I'm fine.
00:10:16All right.
00:10:19Let's get you some food.
00:10:21You must be famished after everything you've done today.
00:10:28What's the hurry?
00:10:29Are you tired of me already?
00:10:31Not at all.
00:10:32I'm just hungry for revenge.
00:10:35Would you like some help?
00:10:36Thank you, but no.
00:10:41Paul has everything in his control right now.
00:10:45I can't drag Nicholas in.
00:10:49Ella, take it slow and plan it well.
00:11:00Oh, good.
00:11:01He's asleep.
00:11:06He's asleep.
00:11:09Hmm.
00:11:10Nicholas must have the key.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:38I heard something just now.
00:11:44Uh, yeah, that was me.
00:11:46I was just reaching for the water on the table.
00:11:48I got an invitation from Paul Astor.
00:11:49About tomorrow night, a family dinner he wants you to attend.
00:11:52Should I reject it for you?
00:11:54Yeah.
00:11:54So, we're going.
00:11:57Understood.
00:12:01You can come out now.
00:12:05I can explain.
00:12:06Please, don't be upset with me.
00:12:10All right, I won't.
00:12:12But give me back my key.
00:12:19You have to take me with you to that dinner tomorrow.
00:12:24Please.
00:12:31Ow!
00:12:33Shit.
00:12:34My voice.
00:12:34I can talk again.
00:12:36I can't let anyone know.
00:12:39Paolo and Flona.
00:12:41I'll make sure to take that what's rightfully mine.
00:12:49And we found Paul.
00:12:52Hey, watch yourself, you dumb...
00:12:56Hey, wait, wait, wait.
00:12:58Aren't you supposed to be dead?
00:13:00They can't know them.
00:13:01A voice is healed.
00:13:02At least not know.
00:13:04What happened?
00:13:06Is she with Paul, uncle?
00:13:08Why?
00:13:09No, no, no, no.
00:13:10That's impossible.
00:13:10Well, she's dead.
00:13:11It's just me.
00:13:12Look like her old twin sister or something.
00:13:16I would like to speak with my step-sister, alone.
00:13:21What are you doing?
00:13:22Let me go!
00:13:28Call me, folksy, that you're dead!
00:13:30Ah!
00:13:34Isn't you better let me out?
00:13:35I will tell Paul about this,
00:13:37and he will rip you into pieces!
00:13:38It looks like you've learned nothing
00:13:40by shepherding your ruinous in the last year, huh?
00:13:43You want to be a blanket, right?
00:13:44Learn your fucking manners!
00:13:46And since I'm your big sister,
00:13:48I'll make sure you learn some proper rules.
00:13:49How will you know that you went to family
00:13:51what I say goes?
00:13:57Do you know that you're even dead?
00:13:58You're mute.
00:13:59It seems like pushing you off the shore didn't quite-
00:14:02Don't be disappointed, because your plan is failing!
00:14:06Forcing your lover to marry me?
00:14:07Sending me to write that so that you took and take over the Blanchard Group?
00:14:10Um, was there really the grand plan you and Paul came up with?
00:14:15Who?
00:14:16Yeah, we should have made sure that you were dead.
00:14:20Paul should have listened to me.
00:14:22I wanted to poison you.
00:14:23So you would be.
00:14:24Just as dead as your poor parents.
00:14:28Watch your mouth!
00:14:30Watch yours.
00:14:32You're here now.
00:14:33It's a perfect chance.
00:14:34Meanwhile, I'm sure we will finish our business by tonight.
00:14:40I won't wait.
00:14:44We're going to die.
00:14:46Once and for all.
00:14:51Thank you all for coming.
00:14:53We're celebrating two monumental occasions.
00:14:56First, after years of tireless work,
00:14:59and to the head of the Blanchard Group.
00:15:01And second, we're celebrating my engagement to the love of my life.
00:15:06My beautiful Philona.
00:15:08Let the feast begin!
00:15:16Thank you!
00:15:20My dear Lola, what happened to you?
00:15:22Where you're all bad?
00:15:23It's Ella.
00:15:25She's back.
00:15:31It's impossible.
00:15:32No one could have survived that thought.
00:15:34But it's true.
00:15:34She locked me in that dark room.
00:15:36She kicked me.
00:15:36She pushed me.
00:15:37She ran my way out.
00:15:44Everyone stay calm.
00:15:46Stay calm.
00:15:47She is nothing but an imposter.
00:15:53Well, my sister recognized me.
00:15:55Say my husband died?
00:15:57Well, my wife wasn't a mute.
00:16:00So, who are you?
00:16:01Who sent you?
00:16:02And what do you want from me?
00:16:04She's not mute.
00:16:05She was speaking to me just now and came up.
00:16:08Stop pretending to know her.
00:16:10You have a birthmark the size of a small coin in your left buttocks.
00:16:13I remember everything in my left.
00:16:15Shall I go one?
00:16:16Yes, well, surely you remember a year ago when you were depressed and you threw yourself
00:16:21off the shore to kill yourself?
00:16:24Ah, my head hurts.
00:16:26Maybe someone pushed me off the shore.
00:16:30I don't care if you're an imposter or not.
00:16:33If you want to play, then let's play.
00:16:38And when my dear Ella had passed, me and Philona, we were devastated.
00:16:46We comforted each other and we mourned her.
00:16:49And then we fell in love.
00:16:53And now we're getting married.
00:16:56So, tell us.
00:16:59How do you plan on proving that you're a real Ella?
00:17:09Who do you want?
00:17:11Well, only the real Ella would know the combination to this safe.
00:17:15Bring it up!
00:17:21This safe holds the most sacred symbol of the Blanchett Group.
00:17:26And only the real president knows the combination.
00:17:29So, if you're the real Ella, then open it.
00:17:32Great idea.
00:17:40Well, I knew.
00:17:41She's an imposter.
00:17:42How could you pretend to be her?
00:17:44And then lay your hand on me?
00:17:48Do you really want to show your lack of manners in front of everyone here who came to relay your
00:17:52message?
00:17:53Imposter.
00:17:54Just admit and leave while you stay calm.
00:17:56What a way to ruin the mood.
00:17:58You're all giving me a headache.
00:18:00Which is why I messed up the combination.
00:18:04How about we make a bet?
00:18:06Prove I'm your real Ella?
00:18:08Sounds so good.
00:18:09You're definitely a fraud.
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12We trust Mr. Aston more than anything.
00:18:14Sounds like we have a bet.
00:18:16So, tell me.
00:18:19What are the stakes, little mute?
00:18:26The shares of the Blanchett Group.
00:18:29That's not a fair bet.
00:18:31You don't have to get in on the bet.
00:18:32You just prove that I am not an imposter and help.
00:18:36Sounds like we have a bet.
00:18:44This, this is impossible.
00:18:46The Asters are trying to let go of our shares.
00:18:50Silence, everyone.
00:18:52Stay calm.
00:18:54She has yet to prove anything.
00:18:55She hasn't even told us what's inside.
00:18:59You all think it's some sort of treasure in that box.
00:19:01But it's not.
00:19:02It is half of the Blanchett family crest.
00:19:12Not so fast.
00:19:14The President always has the other half of this seal.
00:19:18If you can show it to us, then I'll acknowledge her identity.
00:19:23The other half is with Stephen, but I don't remember where he is.
00:19:29So, you don't know, do you, liar?
00:19:38How dare you lay a hand on the President of the Blanchett Group to let him in here?
00:19:45Listen to me, you assholes!
00:19:49Look, enough!
00:19:50Enough!
00:19:52Mr. Blanchett, finally half.
00:19:54Who is this clown?
00:19:57I am Ms. Blanchett's bodyguard.
00:19:59I've got something to show you all.
00:20:01I believe this settles the bet once and for all.
00:20:08The seal is haul again.
00:20:11Now, who still has their dots?
00:20:13That is spectacular.
00:20:15This country's so-called elite being fooled and falling for such a cheap trick.
00:20:25How pathetic.
00:20:26And then there's you.
00:20:31You think that you can hire a bunch of dumb actors and parade around some broken half-crest?
00:20:40And have me so easily fooled to believe you?
00:20:44Enough!
00:20:45Whatever she is, the imposter bitch.
00:20:48Like handsome, my precious daughter.
00:20:49She must kneel of Lorna and apologize to her present.
00:20:55Apologize?
00:20:56Why should I?
00:20:57I've done nothing but tell the truth.
00:20:59Do it.
00:21:00Now.
00:21:01Are we really going to side with these two wipers and humiliate your own wife?
00:21:07Reck-shin!
00:21:08Ex-wife!
00:21:09I have nothing to do with Ella Blanchard.
00:21:13And as far as the Blanchard group's concerned, I am the rightful heir!
00:21:17Who dares mess with my woman?
00:21:24Who dares mess with my woman?
00:21:26What did he say?
00:21:27My woman?
00:21:31Welcome, my dear uncle.
00:21:34You know, considering your condition.
00:21:39Are you really going to turn against your family just because of this damn fool?
00:21:43Without Aster's backing your company, that would be ruined ages ago.
00:21:49Well, that is for the justice.
00:21:51Paul, is this really your master plan to humiliate our family's name?
00:21:55This is my personal business.
00:21:58This is my personal business.
00:21:58So stay out of it.
00:21:59If it's personal, why are you including the Blanchard group?
00:22:01I'm doing this for the Aster family.
00:22:04Do you really think that the Blanchard group would be as powerful today without my leadership?
00:22:12Nicholas, let me handle this.
00:22:16Nicholas has always been pushed aside in the Aster family.
00:22:19I can't let him risk everything just for me.
00:22:21Well, you're lucky to have it worse than her.
00:22:24Look at her now.
00:22:26Clean team to her uncle.
00:22:28Shameless.
00:22:28Mr. Aster.
00:22:30Remember, you spent the last two years planning this out.
00:22:33If your true identity is exposed, it will ruin all our plans.
00:22:39Throw this monster out.
00:22:41Violence.
00:22:43Trying to pretend being fine.
00:22:45You see?
00:22:46Sister.
00:22:52Fine, I'll do it myself.
00:22:57Let go of me.
00:22:59I said, let me go.
00:23:03Nicholas, you are done for.
00:23:09Tell them to let me go.
00:23:11Are you really going to turn your back on the Aster family for this bitch?
00:23:16I'm actually doing the Aster family a favor.
00:23:18Look at yourself.
00:23:20You're embarrassing yourself in front of our distinguished guests.
00:23:22What does that do for our family name?
00:23:25You are nothing but a useless cripple.
00:23:29I'll say this once.
00:23:30Ella is out of the picture.
00:23:32You would be as good as dead if I had never acknowledged you as my uncle.
00:23:37Are you crazy?
00:23:39If you hit me again, I will personally chop off both of your hands.
00:23:53A mute and a cripple.
00:23:56Forming some sort of dynamic disability duo.
00:24:00You really think that you can mess with me?
00:24:04Huh?
00:24:04I'll kill you both!
00:24:06Alright, Paul, you got exactly ten seconds to show me exactly how you plan on killing me.
00:24:11Get in here!
00:24:14Take him down.
00:24:15Take him down.
00:24:29Roger.
00:24:34You paid off my men, you scheming rat.
00:24:40No wonder you've been acting so high and mighty.
00:24:45How much should he pay you?
00:24:47Hmm?
00:24:54I'll double it.
00:24:55Huh?
00:24:55Fine.
00:24:58Pay you ten times.
00:25:01Ten times the amount.
00:25:03No?
00:25:04No?
00:25:05Okay.
00:25:07Okay.
00:25:09Wait!
00:25:11Twenty times!
00:25:13Money makes the world go round.
00:25:16Nicholas, so do you think that there is nothing that I can't buy?
00:25:20And I'll tell you what.
00:25:22I'll even throw ten million dollars into it for whoever will cut his ear off!
00:25:30Paul, do you really think money will buy my men?
00:25:34My men are everywhere.
00:25:38So the minute that you step outside, you, my dear uncle, will meet your end.
00:25:45I'm running out of patience here.
00:25:47You are nothing but a useless cripple.
00:25:49And a parasite feeding off of this family's wealth!
00:25:54What a joke.
00:25:55I can't believe this dumb ass almost got me killed.
00:25:58Almost.
00:25:59How embarrassing.
00:26:04Oh, and of course, then there's you.
00:26:09Huh?
00:26:11Parading around with your little crest.
00:26:15I should take your life.
00:26:17But I'll tell you what.
00:26:18I'm feeling very generous.
00:26:20So, all will be forgiven if you get on your hands and your knees and you crawl under my legs
00:26:26like a good little dog.
00:26:29You all right, handsome?
00:26:32Paul is a kind man.
00:26:33I want to make it hard for you.
00:26:35So you better be a good boy, huh?
00:26:37You want to humiliate Steven?
00:26:39Paul asked her.
00:26:41Let me show you what it really means to be a good dog.
00:26:47What?
00:26:48That sounds good.
00:26:49Paul, I had a dog.
00:26:52Oh, no.
00:26:54You wouldn't dare.
00:26:58A dog should be young.
00:27:00You heard her.
00:27:02Are you all insane?
00:27:04Okay, fine.
00:27:04I will give a billion dollar contract with the Astor family for whoever kills her.
00:27:11And don't tell me that anybody's going to pass that up.
00:27:15Just give up and back finally, you pathetic whistle.
00:27:19Oh, no.
00:27:19It's Astor.
00:27:20Yes.
00:27:23Now that's a good doggy.
00:27:26All right, Ella.
00:27:27I don't need your help.
00:27:33Because unlike some people, I can walk all by myself.
00:27:37Since you're already divorced, Blanchett family has nothing to do with you anymore.
00:27:42Everything will go back to Ella.
00:27:44Yes?
00:27:45Says who?
00:27:46I married Philona.
00:27:48And Philona is a part of the Blanchett family.
00:27:56You.
00:27:56I don't care.
00:27:59I don't care if this will legally go back to Ella.
00:28:04I could destroy it like this.
00:28:07Try it, Bill.
00:28:08It'll take me less than a minute to bankrupt the Blanchett group.
00:28:12Yes, Mr. Astor.
00:28:13Yes.
00:28:13The Blanchett group.
00:28:15Take it down.
00:28:16Tell the Hollywood Reporter and the Wall Street Journal to put it on their front page.
00:28:20You have one minute.
00:28:22You sound pretty sure about that.
00:28:24If I can't have it, no one can.
00:28:33That afternoon I left.
00:28:36That took quicker than I thought to collapse that company.
00:28:40Paul, something's gone terribly wrong.
00:28:42All of our employees have been replaced and no one knows where they've gone.
00:28:47Everyone we fired is back and they're saying that they will only recognize Ella as the rightful president.
00:28:55How?
00:28:56How?
00:28:57How is that possible?
00:28:58You.
00:28:59You.
00:29:00How did you do it?
00:29:06How did you do it?
00:29:07How could that happen?
00:29:09Nicholas.
00:29:10You were never a respected member of the Astor family.
00:29:15So what did you do?
00:29:16You hired some phony actors and teamed up with this bitch so that you could rip what is rightfully mine.
00:29:22The Blanchett group.
00:29:24Show some respect.
00:29:26Ella is the rightful heir of the Blanchett family.
00:29:30That's some people.
00:29:34Let's get out of here.
00:29:35Nicholas.
00:29:39Nicholas.
00:29:41I.
00:29:42Will tell my father.
00:29:44And he will kick you from the Astor family.
00:29:47Oh.
00:29:48And one more thing.
00:29:50Clipper.
00:29:51The world's most powerful and ruthless businessman will be in Los Angeles tomorrow.
00:29:57And when I win his favor at the auction.
00:30:00You will be done for.
00:30:02Do you hear me?
00:30:03You're done for!
00:30:06Paul, Astor and Flona Blanchett.
00:30:09This is just the beginning.
00:30:12Your good days are over and I'll make sure you pay double for everything you've done.
00:30:19Ella.
00:30:23Mr. Astor.
00:30:24Please, let me bring Ella back to the group.
00:30:27I've been searching for her for a long time.
00:30:29Under Paul's management, the company's financial situation has gone from bad to worse.
00:30:34She's essential for surviving the Blanchett group.
00:30:37She's not going anywhere.
00:30:39She's staying with me.
00:30:43Mom?
00:30:44Dad?
00:30:46I swear I'll take back the Blanchett group.
00:30:49I miss you.
00:30:59It's late.
00:31:00What are you doing out here?
00:31:02Didn't you want me to come?
00:31:09Is this about Paul?
00:31:13You're missing your parents, aren't you?
00:31:17I want to take this in.
00:31:19I want to take this in.
00:31:29Wow.
00:31:30It's beautiful.
00:31:34I want you to be safe and happy.
00:31:37Whatever it takes, I'll give it to you.
00:31:40Even if it costs me my life.
00:31:44Hey.
00:31:46It's okay to cry.
00:31:54Ella, would you consider being my...
00:31:58Uh, nothing.
00:31:59Never mind.
00:32:01Nothing?
00:32:02What does that mean?
00:32:16The Yasser family has officially frozen your trust, funds and assets.
00:32:19They've written you off from your position in the company.
00:32:22They plan to release a public statement soon, announcing your expulsion from the family.
00:32:26Let them.
00:32:28I never meet any of them.
00:32:29I remember two years ago.
00:32:31My father named the Yasser and my brother tried to kill me for it.
00:32:34If it wasn't for Ella saving me that night.
00:32:37I wouldn't be alive today.
00:32:39They'd leave me alone now because they think I'm some ambitious cripple.
00:32:43What do you plan to do next?
00:32:45The Yasser family will pay for what they did.
00:32:48Starting from tomorrow, at the auction.
00:32:50Paul will surely be there.
00:32:52And we can finally get out of the match.
00:33:05It is nothing to your liking.
00:33:07I can always have him buy more.
00:33:09I know he's brilliant at generating wealth, but he just got kicked out of the family.
00:33:14He should be more careful and I don't even want all this stuff.
00:33:18Oh, here. I got you some materials.
00:33:21You said you wanted to study your PhD at Harvard?
00:33:27All right. We'll have to go to the office.
00:33:31You stay here. Don't go anywhere.
00:33:40I got to study. Could you please leave me alone so I can focus?
00:34:00Good to see you, Ella.
00:34:01Yeah, you too. So what's happened with the Blanchard Group over the last year?
00:34:05Wait, wait, wait. You can talk?
00:34:08I didn't know I could, but one day it just came back.
00:34:12And I've been pretending to be mute to keep everybody's guards down.
00:34:16Well played, well played.
00:34:20Here. Enterprise to the Blanchard Group auction.
00:34:23Today's auction will be packed.
00:34:25The figures across nearly every nation's industry will be there.
00:34:28China, South Korea, Russia, the UK, Mexico, you name it.
00:34:32And Blanchard himself will be there as well.
00:34:35The mysterious owner behind it all?
00:34:39He's exactly why I wanted to go in the first place.
00:34:54No one even knows how he really looks like.
00:34:57If I manage to meet him tonight, I won't just have a chance to seek a bunch of people.
00:35:02We will also find a way to take down the Astor family once and for long.
00:35:07My revenge is nearly within reach.
00:35:09Shut up. Who has a figure of hates when the strangers approaches?
00:35:12I'll figure it out.
00:35:16Why does that male look so much like Nicholas?
00:35:28No way. Nicholas needs a wheelchair. It can't be him. Can it?
00:35:33What is it?
00:35:34Everyone looks like Nicholas to me.
00:35:36Am I just feeling guilty because of sneaking out of the house without him knowing?
00:35:40Or, you may be falling for him.
00:35:42I mean, he may be in a wheelchair, but he looks well-carved.
00:35:49Probably he's coming along.
00:35:51We're monitoring everyone from these cameras.
00:35:55Good.
00:35:56It's time to ask a friend we finally get. What's coming now?
00:36:02Let the auction begin.
00:36:12My God.
00:36:13Poor shit.
00:36:14That's just one of the kind that your earrings must be diamonds from South Africa.
00:36:22But this kind of vengeance at a clipper's auction, she really must be someone.
00:36:28Why does this woman seem so familiar?
00:36:36Who's that lady?
00:36:38I'm not sure, sir.
00:36:39Either new to auctions or recently rich.
00:36:41I can look into her further if you like.
00:36:43If you like me to look into it?
00:36:45Forget it.
00:36:46She's not the goal tonight.
00:36:47You have to stay focused today.
00:36:50I'll have to toast her later.
00:36:52Who the hell is that woman?
00:36:54A body like that?
00:36:56And I don't know her?
00:36:58No way.
00:37:00I've got to fix this.
00:37:02I am Paul Aster.
00:37:04You've probably heard of me.
00:37:06I'm quite famous around here.
00:37:12Flying hard to get.
00:37:14Well, no one denies Paul Aster.
00:37:17If I didn't have more important things to handle tonight, I'd knock him clean on his ass.
00:37:22Um, get lost.
00:37:24I get it.
00:37:25I get it.
00:37:26Judging by your clothes, you're probably here fishing for a rich man.
00:37:29Luckily for you, I am quite interested.
00:37:40I am his fancy.
00:37:42Don't you dare to flirt with him in front of me.
00:37:47Listen.
00:37:48If you've got guts, even think of your mess.
00:37:51Because some people are here.
00:37:53Might be your clients.
00:37:55Poker.
00:38:01What give you the guts to lay hand on that, boss?
00:38:06Shall I step in?
00:38:07No deal.
00:38:08I feel like she won't give in.
00:38:10It's waiting to turn.
00:38:11All people here, make their names somehow and somewhere, and then you are here.
00:38:16Did you get your name from, huh?
00:38:18From some hello house?
00:38:20Um, what do you tell me?
00:38:22Since you clearly came from one, you bitch?
00:38:24Try very garbage like him.
00:38:27What are you? A trash can?
00:38:29Oh, you shameless bitch. Tell me.
00:38:31Whose mistress are you?
00:38:33Take that mask off right now!
00:38:35Oh, you're really dying to see my face, huh?
00:38:38Fine! I'll give you a chance.
00:38:40Kneel down and apologize.
00:38:42Then I'll let you see who I really am, okay?
00:38:44I'm gonna be just playing games with us, that bitch.
00:38:47Or she's the thing about the auctioneater.
00:38:55Maybe I am.
00:38:56Well, then behave yourself like a proper commodity.
00:38:58Take yourself up and let everyone admire you.
00:39:02You'd better take your words back.
00:39:04As in, can you do?
00:39:06Do you know who I am?
00:39:08I am the U, the bloodshed family.
00:39:10And if you forgot that, fiancé, I'm the new school of CEO.
00:39:14A fiancé of a nouveau riche?
00:39:16Is that supposed to be, well, I don't know, impressive?
00:39:20Bitch, you better...
00:39:21Maybe she slapped me even though she knows that I'm your fiancé.
00:39:24She doesn't respect anyone here.
00:39:26Kneel and apologize, now!
00:39:30Or...
00:39:30Come by my office, Snader, and...
00:39:34And maybe I'll let this slide.
00:39:37Why would I?
00:39:38Oh, and I didn't slap her.
00:39:40She placed her face on my hand.
00:39:43Why does she sound so familiar?
00:39:47You're lying to everybody's soul that she slapped me.
00:39:50Really? Where is the proof?
00:39:53You know that this is the private ocean.
00:39:55There's no cameras in here to record it.
00:39:57So, um, no security footage, no evidence.
00:40:00There's nothing we can do, right?
00:40:05Did I have my face page?
00:40:07Listen, madam.
00:40:08This is a refined event.
00:40:09You better lower your voice, or they might have to escort you out.
00:40:13Enough!
00:40:13I was gonna let this go.
00:40:16Because you're a woman.
00:40:17But because of your lack of respect and manners for the Clipper Group and me, it's starting to get on
00:40:24my nerves.
00:40:24Do you know what I'm capable of, you wretched woman?
00:40:29Tell me.
00:40:33What are you capable of?
00:40:36Are you scared now?
00:40:38Scared of what?
00:40:39You're as scary as my gardener, so I'm wasting my time here.
00:40:43I'm here for him.
00:40:45Please show up, Mr. Clipper.
00:40:50Shall you answer me?
00:40:51Not until my nephew does something to cause trouble.
00:40:53Well, today's priority is clear.
00:40:56I'll personally run the final line.
00:40:58Let's go.
00:41:04That's him.
00:41:05The legendary Mr. Clipper.
00:41:09He's Mr. Clipper?
00:41:19I should have approached him when we bumped into him at the entrance.
00:41:23Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience.
00:41:26His voice sounds familiar.
00:41:28Like, Nicholas.
00:41:31No, I'm just imagining things.
00:41:34Mr. Clipper's made it clear if you are here to bid, take your seats.
00:41:40If you are here for entertainment, you know where the doors are.
00:41:44Feel free to leave.
00:41:45Ladies and gentlemen, the main event of the evening.
00:41:48Mr. Clipper will be in charge of the auction.
00:41:51We present the super trademark of the Manta.
00:41:55World-renowned beverage band.
00:41:58Manta.
00:41:58They don't name the global beverage market.
00:42:01They sell more in a half month than other branding sell in a year.
00:42:05If he's selling it, he's serious about wanting to work with all these powerful figures.
00:42:08Let's be real.
00:42:10That's why we all came here tonight.
00:42:11We'll start the bidding at $1 billion.
00:42:15Increments, minimum, of $100 million.
00:42:19Let's begin.
00:42:20Father made it clear to acquire that trademark.
00:42:23With Manta, the Astro Group can finally fill the gap of the beverage industry.
00:42:30Maybe how the pregnant and the North American billionaire ranks.
00:42:33$1 billion.
00:42:35Mmm, the fish is taking the bait.
00:42:38$1 billion going once.
00:42:39$1.2 billion.
00:42:41$1.5 billion.
00:42:42$1.5 billion going once.
00:42:47Going twice.
00:42:49$2 billion.
00:42:50$2 billion going once.
00:42:52Twice for $2 billion.
00:42:54$1 billion.
00:43:01$2 billion.
00:43:04$10 billion.
00:43:07That's a lot of money.
00:43:09I'm out. Paul must really want it.
00:43:13Ten billion dollars.
00:43:15Going once.
00:43:16If you want it so badly, Paul,
00:43:19you'll have to prove it.
00:43:21Going twice.
00:43:22Twenty billion.
00:43:25Twenty billion?
00:43:26Are you kidding me?
00:43:28Don't you think that's a little reckless,
00:43:30young lady?
00:43:31Not at all. The more you risk,
00:43:34the more you gain, wouldn't you agree?
00:43:36And with the profit it generates,
00:43:38I'll be making hundreds of billions
00:43:40in just a few years. Isn't that right,
00:43:42Mr. Clipper? Makes sense.
00:43:44But I get the feeling she's more interested
00:43:46than Mr. Clipper himself.
00:43:47You're talking about twenty billion dollars right now.
00:43:50You whole thing's twice a little bit.
00:43:53I don't actually have
00:43:54this kind of money.
00:43:56Miss, what is your name?
00:43:59Lenora? Lenora's my middle name
00:44:00and no one knows.
00:44:01So technically I'm not lying.
00:44:04This is a private auction,
00:44:06Miss Lenora.
00:44:07When the hammer drops, there are no take back.
00:44:10So make sure you're ready to go all in.
00:44:13Twenty billion?
00:44:14That's just pocket change.
00:44:16Think of it as a little gift.
00:44:19My way of saying hello.
00:44:29Do you want to see your sister take back the Blanchett group?
00:44:38Don't you want to see her and Nicholas demolished beneath us?
00:44:44Thirty billion!
00:44:46Idiot. Sure, this is a major brand,
00:44:48and the market value is insane.
00:44:50But over the past year, the company behind it
00:44:52has been drowning in debt.
00:44:54Whoever wins to bid will also inherit its debt.
00:44:57Thirty billion going once.
00:44:59Mr. Clipper's beating Paul.
00:45:00What's he trying to achieve?
00:45:02Going twice.
00:45:03Since Mr. Astor is so fun of it,
00:45:06I guess I'll have to give it to him.
00:45:09Sold.
00:45:10To the Astor family, the Manta trademark.
00:45:14Settle the payment first.
00:45:20Murder looking?
00:45:22Something's not right.
00:45:24She set me up.
00:45:25She jacked up the price and forced me to buy it at three times its value.
00:45:30Damn it!
00:45:31I won't let this slide.
00:45:33Well, that'll be all for today, ladies and gentlemen.
00:45:35Enjoy the rest of the evening.
00:45:40Hey!
00:45:41What do you think you're doing?
00:45:46Jack up the price?
00:45:48Make me pay three times market value?
00:45:51Who sent you?
00:45:52Watch your words.
00:45:53This is a private auction.
00:45:54And every guest undergoes this trick-working process.
00:45:58I guess I'm gonna take care of.
00:45:59You go prepare the Masquerade Ball.
00:46:01Yes, sir.
00:46:04So it's an inside job.
00:46:06Your auction house planted her to set me up.
00:46:10Whoa!
00:46:11All of this fuss over a measly thirty billion dollars?
00:46:14I guess the mighty Astor group isn't looking too mighty right now, is it?
00:46:20Those are big words coming from someone who has yet to prove her wealth.
00:46:24Can you even afford thirty billion dollars?
00:46:28Or how about you do us all a favor?
00:46:30Take off your mask and reveal who you are.
00:46:34Yeah!
00:46:35Yeah!
00:46:35Yeah!
00:46:36Or are you scared?
00:46:40You're not going anywhere until you take off your goddamn mask.
00:46:44Whoa!
00:46:45What a couple.
00:46:46One is arrogant and the other is brainless.
00:46:50But since you're so eager to test me, I really hope you're ready to pay for your arrogance.
00:46:56Every single item auctioned tonight, except the Manta trademark, I'll cover the cost.
00:47:10Young lady, outside of the Manta trademark, the total cost is over eighty point five billion.
00:47:15Are you sure you want to proceed with it?
00:47:17Yes, I'm sure.
00:47:18Do it.
00:47:19I'm sure.
00:47:27That's impossible.
00:47:29No one in all of Los Angeles, besides the Astor family, can gather eighty billion dollars like that!
00:47:35Who the hell are you?
00:47:36I said it in the very beginning, kneel down and apologize.
00:47:40I'll show you who I really am.
00:47:46You'll apologize to her or you'll lose the rest of that all.
00:47:49Bastard.
00:47:51My father's gonna hear about this and you're gonna pay.
00:47:54You're all gonna pay!
00:47:56And I'm not apologizing.
00:47:59Come again.
00:48:00Why the fuck would I apologize?
00:48:02Abusing your power, you're banished from all future auctions.
00:48:05Let's get them out of here right now.
00:48:07Get your hands off me.
00:48:08Get your hands off of me!
00:48:09Huh?
00:48:10You think I care?
00:48:12Distinguished guests, now that little experience has been resolved and settled.
00:48:18Let's just go enjoy the evening.
00:48:19I'll arrange a masquerade party for us all.
00:48:21If you'll please, um, thank you.
00:48:27Mr. Clifford, would you like to share this dance with me?
00:48:50Let's cut to the chase.
00:48:51You orchestrated that whole thing to get me, huh?
00:48:56Well, what is it that you want?
00:48:57No.
00:48:58Straight to the point.
00:48:59I love it.
00:49:00Listen, uh, you owe me one.
00:49:04I don't quite follow.
00:49:06You wanted the man's trademark to land in the fool's hands.
00:49:09And I gave it a push.
00:49:11I made sure it was sold way more than it really was.
00:49:15I just dropped the fortune.
00:49:17All I ask is one small favor.
00:49:20Alright.
00:49:21What is it?
00:49:23A contract of $500 billion.
00:49:26See, that's not quite fair.
00:49:28You dropped $80.
00:49:29And now you won $500.
00:49:31Why would I agree to that?
00:49:32Come on.
00:49:33Don't you want to take down a common enemy?
00:49:36Why does she smell like...
00:49:38Ella?
00:49:42Mr. Astor, Ella's missing.
00:49:45What?
00:49:50Steven, where the fuck is Ella?
00:49:51Yes, sir.
00:49:52I'm here.
00:49:53You find her now!
00:49:57Gather everyone.
00:49:58We need to find Ella immediately.
00:49:59She's a target for the Astor family and Flonas.
00:50:01We cannot let anything happen to her.
00:50:09What are you doing with her?
00:50:12Bad news.
00:50:13You've been on for too long.
00:50:14Nicholas, come on.
00:50:15He's looking for you.
00:50:16Yeah.
00:50:16I want to do now.
00:50:17Go.
00:50:18You're going to have to handle this on your own.
00:50:20I'll go get the car.
00:50:21Okay.
00:50:24A thousand bucks for your uniform?
00:50:27One thousand, plus the dress.
00:50:29Here you go.
00:50:51What is she doing here?
00:50:53I can't let her know yet that I'm Clipper.
00:50:57What's Mr. Clipper doing here?
00:51:00I have to pretend I don't know him.
00:51:02Or he'll get suspicious.
00:51:13Mark, grab the car.
00:51:14I found Ella.
00:51:26I'm going to go get the car.
00:51:29I'm not going to drive the car.
00:51:29I'm going to go get the car.
00:51:30I'm going to be there for two minutes.
00:51:31Wait.
00:51:31Um.
00:51:33Hello.
00:51:34Where have you been?
00:51:35I want a boba, so Steven drove me to Chinatown.
00:51:38You could have told the bodyguards they could have got it for you.
00:51:43I'm already out here. Just text me what you want and I'll get it for you.
00:51:48So what are we going to do now?
00:51:51Let's go get some boba.
00:51:53Okay.
00:51:57Chinatown.
00:52:03You are lucky to be kicked out tonight.
00:52:06It would have been more worse if the boss wasn't so happy tonight.
00:52:09Now take your damn contract tonight.
00:52:12I'm fine.
00:52:18No matter what.
00:52:20I still completed the task that father gave me.
00:52:22Mysterious horror of the fuck it is.
00:52:25She ruined everything tonight.
00:52:26I'll have her background checked.
00:52:28No one insults us and gets away with it.
00:52:40No need to get our hands dirty.
00:52:53Hey!
00:52:55Ella's in danger.
00:52:56I have to save her.
00:52:57No way.
00:53:02Ellie's giving me my phone back!
00:53:05It's too bad I didn't train for a running!
00:53:24Chris.
00:53:25Here's your purse.
00:53:26Get home safely.
00:53:28Thank you, sir.
00:53:32What just happened?
00:53:33The plan was simple.
00:53:36Somebody grabs her bag,
00:53:37she chases them to somewhere secluded,
00:53:39and then we snatch her.
00:53:40She runs like a damn toddler.
00:53:44Time to try my plan.
00:53:45What?
00:53:48Excuse me, mademoiselle.
00:53:50We are lost.
00:53:52Could you please help us to go from here?
00:53:55Hmm, here's your purse.
00:54:04It was close.
00:54:07Hold on, where's she go?
00:54:18It's YouTube!
00:54:20Aha!
00:54:20So she can't speak.
00:54:22See, I told you she was lying about your voice.
00:54:25You, my mom, didn't believe me.
00:54:29Do you return my slap?
00:54:31It's too defending yourself, huh?
00:54:34Let me go, or else things might get a whole lot worse.
00:54:37Oh, the hell is it going to get worse?
00:54:39Do you think the cripple is going to show up and save you?
00:54:43Let me go!
00:54:47Did you really think that I wouldn't notice
00:54:50the whole mutant death act that you put on at the gala,
00:54:53and then you team up with the cripple
00:54:55and embarrass me in front of everybody?
00:54:58Tell me.
00:55:01How should I return the favor?
00:55:04Relax.
00:55:05You don't need to be reckless.
00:55:06Enough talking.
00:55:07I'm doing it.
00:55:08You've already won the contract for Mr. Clipper.
00:55:10Wouldn't it be smarter to focus on business
00:55:13instead of committing on a felony?
00:55:15What would happen if he finds about all of this?
00:55:18Who the hell she knows about her?
00:55:20I overheard of Audi guards.
00:55:22They were gossiping about
00:55:23what you two flipped the table at the auction.
00:55:25Mr. Clipper will never know!
00:55:29And neither will anyone else.
00:55:36Oh, wait.
00:55:38Look at the A-Way.
00:55:43Look at the earring.
00:55:45It's from Longtime.
00:55:46The mask on.
00:55:49No doubt.
00:55:51It's definitely her
00:55:53who embarrassed me
00:55:54in front of the entire
00:55:56underground elite.
00:55:58How dare you
00:55:59humiliate me
00:56:00in front of the world's
00:56:01most powerful people!
00:56:04No one
00:56:05plays games
00:56:07with Paul Astor
00:56:08and gets away with it.
00:56:09She's not getting away with it, my love.
00:56:12She's not leaving this place alive.
00:56:19Save your efforts, bitch.
00:56:21There's no signal in here.
00:56:23And even if Nicholas did put a tracker on you,
00:56:26no one's
00:56:27coming
00:56:29to save you.
00:56:33Still nothing?
00:56:36Speed it up.
00:56:37Get more men.
00:56:37Earn anything!
00:56:38That's it.
00:56:39We're wasting time.
00:56:40We split up
00:56:40and search.
00:56:42You can't go alone.
00:56:43It's too risky.
00:56:44I can handle myself.
00:56:46I can handle myself.
00:57:03Sorry.
00:57:14I can handle myself.
00:57:29Are you okay?
00:57:31I'm okay.
00:57:33She can talk?
00:57:35She tricked me again.
00:57:37I think you should go.
00:57:38I don't want you to get caught up in this.
00:57:41Watch out!
00:57:46Roy!
00:57:49I'll let you go.
00:57:51Pretend that none of this ever happened.
00:57:53I wasn't really going to get there.
00:57:55You're true.
00:57:56I'm sorry to you, and now you do that.
00:58:05Don't hurt me.
00:58:06It was all Paul's AD.
00:58:08I have nothing to do with it.
00:58:09You go home.
00:58:10You tell his father.
00:58:12The Astro Group is officially bankrupt.
00:58:33I'm sorry.
00:58:33I have nothing to do with it.
00:58:36I'm sorry.

01:06:27no
01:06:27Nicholas?
01:06:29Um...
01:06:30Wow, wow, wow.
01:06:31Making big moves and I don't tell you best of them.
01:06:43It is obvious Ella cheated on her paper.
01:06:46She just got into the program and has barely taken any classes.
01:06:50So how could she nail the paper so easily?
01:06:53Exactly.
01:06:54And cheating is unforgivable.
01:06:57You're being expelled.
01:06:59Rules are rules.
01:07:00She's just jealous and desperate.
01:07:04It's very clear that you're trying to be some kind of smart Cinderella for, let me guess, Simon's attention.
01:07:12It's too bad.
01:07:13He already knows about your little cheating stunt.
01:07:15I wonder what he thinks about you now.
01:07:22Um...
01:07:22Why the hell would I care what he thinks about me?
01:07:25What's more interesting is you got rejected and somehow decided I'm the problem.
01:07:31There's something wrong with you, Tracy.
01:07:33We'll see if you still have such a smart mouth when the professor finds out you've been cheating.
01:07:39I can't explain how I'm thankful to you, Ella.
01:07:42You are incredible.
01:07:43If it wasn't for you, we will lose all aerospace department data.
01:07:48Aerospace data?
01:07:49Professor Lawrence.
01:07:51Professor Lawrence, I let you know on my midterm paper.
01:07:53Ella helped us track down Hacker and recover stolen aerospace.
01:07:57So she didn't need to cheat on midterm paper.
01:08:01That's impossible.
01:08:02I think you owe me an apology, Tracy.
01:08:06And as I was scraping the data for Mr. Lawrence, guess what I found?
01:08:14Evidence.
01:08:15Your father's corruption is all in this drive.
01:08:18And if it goes public...
01:08:25What do you want?
01:08:27Tell everyone the truth.
01:08:28That I didn't lie or else.
01:08:32Fine.
01:08:33I didn't cheat.
01:08:34I made it up.
01:08:35You should apologize to Ella.
01:08:44Sorry, Ella.
01:08:48Dad, you got an invitation to the Clipper Exclusive Ball?
01:08:51Yes, I did.
01:08:53He's one of the biggest investors in our school.
01:08:56Rumors say he's young, successful and ridiculously handsome.
01:09:01I need to secure a deal with him.
01:09:04It's of utmost importance.
01:09:07You have to bring me with you.
01:09:09This is my chance.
01:09:15Of course.
01:09:16You can come with me.
01:09:19And this will do you a lot of good.
01:09:22Has her, Ella?
01:09:23I'll say to you, she is kicked out.
01:09:27Thank you, Daddy.
01:09:30Your ticket to the Clipper's Ball.
01:09:31The most prestigious event in the tri-state area.
01:09:36Heard that Mr. Clipper is hosting this year's event himself.
01:09:39Oh, great.
01:09:41Remember the deal I failed to close last time I saw him?
01:09:44He turned me down and refunded every cent I spent at the auction.
01:09:48So you're still going after the partnership?
01:09:51Not necessarily.
01:09:52The ball will be crawling with Billionaires.
01:09:54If I don't get a deal with him, I'll find someone else.
01:09:58All I need is one solid trillion dollar contract,
01:10:01and the Blanchik group will be back in the game.
01:10:04How do you plan on telling Nicholas about the ball?
01:10:07Um, I'll figure something out.
01:10:10Don't tell a woman to sneak you out again.
01:10:23Yeah, it seems she's received an invitation as well.
01:10:27So that's why she turned down Simon.
01:10:29It's not because she's not interested.
01:10:31It's because she's hunting bigger prey.
01:10:34What a joke.
01:10:34That's it, no?
01:10:35Yeah.
01:10:37She thinks she's some kind of Cinderella,
01:10:39and some princess gonna come and sweep her off her feet.
01:10:42She won't be having a good time then.
01:10:45No.
01:10:52Alright?
01:10:53Yeah, just a little bit nervous.
01:10:56Are you sure about showing a real face to Mr. Clipper?
01:10:59I'm sure.
01:10:59If I'm sincere enough about myself and my story,
01:11:02maybe he'll reconsider the partnership with me.
01:11:04Girl, your perfume.
01:11:06If Nicholas knew you could so much effort
01:11:08in dressing up for this party...
01:11:10Well, he definitely cannot, no.
01:11:18Damn!
01:11:19This is the best wine I've ever had.
01:11:22Hey, Ella.
01:11:23Hmm?
01:11:24Check it out.
01:11:25What is this drama queen is doing here?
01:11:28Uh, I'm not surprised.
01:11:30We should be glad that Simon and Jessica aren't here.
01:11:36Oh, great.
01:11:37Just what we needed.
01:11:39Hey, broke loser.
01:11:40What are you doing here?
01:11:42Don't tell me you followed me all the way here.
01:11:44Aesthetic.
01:11:45Um...
01:11:46I didn't realize this event was a exclusive one.
01:11:51I want you to look at that.
01:11:52You're wearing the same perfume as me.
01:11:55You really are trying so hard to be me, aren't you?
01:11:58I will never be like you.
01:12:00Some of us actually have a reason to be here.
01:12:02Are you done talking?
01:12:03Because if you are, I'm leaving.
01:12:05Don't walk away from me, you...
01:12:09That's like Tracy is up to something.
01:12:11Mm-hmm.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:16I just don't get it.
01:12:18Why does she seize me as her imaginary fault?
01:12:23Steven, you have to try this wine.
01:12:25No, no, no, girl.
01:12:26I'm not drinking tonight.
01:12:27Okay.
01:12:28I should focus on protecting you.
01:12:30I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you like last time.
01:12:34Definitely Nicholas wouldn't forgive me.
01:12:36Are you... afraid of them?
01:12:40Aren't you?
01:12:42I heard that Clipper is showing masks to me.
01:12:46Why do you always have to bury the lead?
01:13:02Clipper, it's Nicholas?
01:13:10Miss Clipper, nice to meet you.
01:13:12Thank you so much for coming to Tendon tonight.
01:13:14I really appreciate your investment in the company.
01:13:16Yeah.
01:13:17And the $10 billion will really help.
01:13:18We'll go to a lot of good people.
01:13:20Yeah.
01:13:21Oh, thank you so much for coming tonight.
01:13:23Appreciate that.
01:13:25Ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:27thank you for coming to tonight's annual Clipper Ball.
01:13:30I'm Clipper.
01:13:32It's my pleasure to have you all with me tonight.
01:13:34Enjoy the evening.
01:13:37Somehow Nicholas looks a little more handsome tonight.
01:13:40How is Clipper Nicholas?
01:13:43We're so screwed.
01:13:45Wait, wait, screwed?
01:13:46Why?
01:13:47Hey, the good news.
01:13:48You want to deal with Clipper and now you're dating.
01:13:51You don't understand, Steven.
01:13:59You don't understand.
01:14:00So, I'll be studying in the library tonight.
01:14:03Gonna be home late.
01:14:04What?
01:14:04Steven will come with me.
01:14:06He'll be here in 30 minutes.
01:14:08Too sad, huh?
01:14:17Nothing really, but let's just get out of here.
01:14:20Wait, wait.
01:14:21Why do you need to hide?
01:14:22Like, aren't you the same size?
01:14:23Stop talking.
01:14:23Stop asking questions.
01:14:41I had no idea he was this handsome.
01:14:44He makes Simon look like a little boy.
01:14:46Time to make my move.
01:14:50I promise I'll never lie to him again.
01:14:53If he finds out I snuck in here...
01:15:01Mr. Clipper, thank you so, so much for inviting me to this amazing ball.
01:15:09Can I just say how impressive you are?
01:15:12So young and yet so successful.
01:15:15Where are my manners?
01:15:17Would you like to dance with me?
01:15:26Look, all this isn't smart.
01:15:27I must not think for me about Mary.
01:15:29He wants me a thousand.
01:15:30I won't always want to rest the deal.
01:15:32If you're actually considering sliding my name to your father, then you can forget it.
01:15:38I do wish you'd reconsider.
01:15:41Please, Mr. Clipper.
01:15:45You know, I don't fall for many guys.
01:15:49But you, I'm really, really attractive.
01:15:53Why don't you and me?
01:15:55I already have a girlfriend.
01:15:57And you're nothing like her.
01:15:59The great Clipper has a girlfriend.
01:16:02And I hate that smell that you're wearing.
01:16:04It makes me sick.
01:16:05Get her out of here.
01:16:13Please.
01:16:15You can't do this to me.
01:16:17I can change.
01:16:18I'd do anything for you.
01:16:20Well, she really kicked Simon through the car.
01:16:23Dad!
01:16:26Stop.
01:16:27Mr. Clipper.
01:16:29Tracy meant no harm.
01:16:31Tonight is a business night.
01:16:33Gathered here for mutual cooperation.
01:16:37Can you let this slide?
01:16:38Consider it, please.
01:16:41Fine.
01:16:42But get your daughter out of my sight.
01:16:44Your smell makes me sick.
01:16:48If my smell makes it feel sick.
01:16:50But there's someone else here that should be kept away from you.
01:16:55I want you to look up there.
01:16:57You're wearing the same perfume as me.
01:16:59You really are trying so hard to be me, aren't you?
01:17:01She has no status.
01:17:03No background.
01:17:05And probably snuckingly on somebody else's imitation.
01:17:08Don't you want her thrown out as well?
01:17:17I'm so dead.
01:17:31I'm so dead.
01:17:37You're a black box and a paper.
01:17:39I can explain about perfume.
01:17:41We didn't know.
01:17:42You had no heart attack about it.
01:17:45I was really upset about the perfume, where are you?
01:17:47Turn around.
01:17:51Don't make it any hotter than it is.
01:17:55It looks like a woman is gonna be thrown out.
01:18:04You look absolutely beautiful
01:18:06And you smell
01:18:10Absolutely intoxicated
01:18:16Mr. Clipper, I thought you said
01:18:18You hate that perfume smell
01:18:20He hates it when women throw themselves at him
01:18:22And he's holding that bitch's hand
01:18:23You came all this way here
01:18:26Why are you hiding from me?
01:18:28I heard that
01:18:30Clipper was holding an event
01:18:31I just wanted to see what he looks like
01:18:34Didn't say enough at home
01:18:36Guess I'm not satisfying
01:18:38Miss Blanchett enough
01:18:39I'm sorry I lied, but I can explain
01:18:43Please
01:18:44Don't be mad at me
01:18:46What if I wasn't Clipper?
01:18:48You'd be here seeing somebody else
01:18:50But you are Clipper
01:18:53I'm sorry
01:18:56I forgive you
01:18:58Go wait in the exhibit hall
01:19:13I've lost this credit there
01:19:14There are several positive pieces
01:19:17from Napoleonic era
01:19:19It's irreplaceable
01:19:21Ella, how could you?
01:19:23Do you have any idea how precious that piece was?
01:19:25Can you even afford to pay it back?
01:19:27It was worth the fortune.
01:19:30What's going on here?
01:19:32Mr. Clipper, Ella broke one of your porcelain pieces.
01:19:36She clearly has no respect for this event, or you, for that matter.
01:19:41What if she's here to steal your stuff?
01:19:59That was brilliant.
01:20:01Oh my goodness.
01:20:03Anyone here good at math?
01:20:05Can you tell me how much that was worth?
01:20:09Good, thank you.
01:20:12Those damages, they're on you.
01:20:14You heard the full amount.
01:20:16Pay the numbers.
01:20:18Me?
01:20:19Mr. Clipper, you broke those by yourself.
01:20:21Everybody saw you.
01:20:27I'm just following your example.
01:20:30Everyone, tell me, who broke the artifact?
01:20:33Her.
01:20:34Yeah, it was her.
01:20:35You broke the porcelain and framed her.
01:20:37If you're so keen on manipulating people, then why can't I?
01:20:41And just so we're clear, my entire collection has been gifted to Ella.
01:20:45Whether she wants to cherish them, break them, or burn them.
01:20:51That'll be nothing to do with you.
01:20:53You gave them all to her?
01:20:54She had a problem with that.
01:20:56Why is he protecting her all the time?
01:20:59Mr. Clipper, I'm sorry.
01:21:01Apologize to the man now.
01:21:03She should be apologizing to Ella.
01:21:07Sorry, Ella.
01:21:08Will you forgive my daughter, please?
01:21:24I broke the porcelain.
01:21:26I shouldn't have firmed you.
01:21:28Then it's settled, Mr. White.
01:21:29The full compensation to be paid for the broken items.
01:21:32Of course.
01:21:33Of course.
01:21:33Dad!
01:21:34Shut up!
01:21:36The embarrassment you are is going to come out of your inheritance.
01:21:42We have to sell the yachts.
01:21:44Both of them?
01:21:45Shut up!
01:21:46No!
01:21:47Come on!
01:21:49Well, now we've settled that little matter, I have a more important question to ask.
01:22:07Will you marry me, my dear Ella?
01:22:16Yes, I will.
01:22:19I will.
01:22:38Well, now we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but
01:22:40we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled
01:22:40that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little
01:22:40girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but
01:22:40we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled
01:22:40that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little
01:22:40girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but
01:22:40we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled that little girl, but we've settled
