00:00:00Mr. President, after winning the presidential election, your first stop as a state president?
00:00:11Milo, we are here to see a very important man.
00:00:14In fact, so important that he helped decide the presidential election victory for us.
00:00:19Oh, here he comes now.
00:00:30Mr. S, it's an honor to finally meet you in person.
00:00:37After all, you helped decide the victory for the presidential election and single-handedly built the Enros group from the ground up.
00:00:46So you're waiting for the most mysterious mastermind who built the Enros group?
00:00:50You're waiting for the man who runs the most powerful financial empire, Mr. S.
00:00:55No worries, Donald. It wasn't a big deal.
00:00:58Besides, I've been meaning to take down your opponents for years.
00:01:01GEO Defense Systems.
00:01:03So is that why you went to prison six years ago?
00:01:06No. My girlfriend got into some trouble and couldn't let an innocent woman go to jail.
00:01:11Took the fall myself.
00:01:13I see.
00:01:15But I still don't understand.
00:01:17Your prison sentence ends tomorrow.
00:01:19Why go through a parole application just to get out one day early?
00:01:23Well, sir, six years ago, I promised that I would propose to my girl on this very day.
00:01:28A man of my word.
00:01:29So, sir, I got a ride to catch.
00:01:31I'll keep in touch.
00:01:32There he is.
00:01:49Look at this guy.
00:01:50Great news.
00:01:52Miss Davis is finally on Mirror Media's radar, one of the top media companies in the country.
00:01:56And thanks to your support, they actually made her the director of the news.
00:02:00They're even having an inauguration ball for her tonight.
00:02:03Every major player in the industry is going to be there.
00:02:05Isabella's always wanted to be a world-famous journalist.
00:02:08Warren, let's give her that final push tonight.
00:02:10I want you to personally deliver my exclusive interview rights to her at the gala.
00:02:14And, Warren, this won't just be an interview.
00:02:16I'm going to ask her to marry me.
00:02:17And reveal the truth that Mr. S, the man behind Enrose Group, the one who's been guiding
00:02:24her career every step of the way, opening up every door, has been me all along.
00:02:29Um, I'll have all the specials, please.
00:02:36All right.
00:02:37Right away.
00:02:39Whether you like it or not, Fred, this marriage is happening.
00:02:43Really, Preston?
00:02:44We both know this marriage is just your play to swallow at my company, Mirror Media.
00:02:48So what if it is?
00:02:49I mean, this marriage is already a done deal.
00:02:51Both of our families have made that choice, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
00:02:55And your precious Mirror Media is as good as mine.
00:02:58You're mean!
00:03:00Stop yelling at my mommy!
00:03:01I don't want her to marry you!
00:03:02Shut it, you little bastard!
00:03:03Nobody asked you!
00:03:17Who says I don't have a daddy?
00:03:20He's my daddy!
00:03:21Uh, kiddo, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else.
00:03:29Also, what are you talking about?
00:03:30Come back here.
00:03:32I'm so sorry, sir.
00:03:34She must have thought you were someone else.
00:03:35No, Mommy, I didn't get it wrong.
00:03:37He's my daddy.
00:03:42Hey, jerk!
00:03:43My dad's back now.
00:03:44You better watch out.
00:03:45I'll help knock your teeth out.
00:03:47I told you to shut it, you little brat, or I will rip that mouth right off your face!
00:03:54It must be real tough going after a little girl, huh?
00:03:58Back off.
00:04:04Who the hell are you?
00:04:05You know what?
00:04:06How about this?
00:04:06How about you stay out of it?
00:04:08Because it's none of your damn business.
00:04:11And Freya?
00:04:12How about you control your kid before she ropes in this street trash,
00:04:16fresh out of prison,
00:04:18who's wanting to play daddy?
00:04:21You know what, Preston?
00:04:21Who I marry is none of your business.
00:04:24But let me be clear.
00:04:25It will never be you.
00:04:28Fine.
00:04:29But I swear to you, Freya,
00:04:30I will make you regret those words.
00:04:32And you are not gonna like how this ends.
00:04:36Elsa's never known her father.
00:04:41She's put up with snide remarks her whole life.
00:04:43Maybe it's time I find her a dad.
00:04:45In one move, I could finally shut my family up
00:04:47and keep Mirror Media in my own hands.
00:04:52I know this might sound crazy,
00:04:55but you helped my daughter just now,
00:04:57and, um...
00:04:59Will you marry me?
00:05:01Be my husband?
00:05:03I know this sounds crazy,
00:05:05but I can make it worth your while.
00:05:07I can pay you $1 million a month
00:05:09and a Bugatti as a signing bonus.
00:05:12Ma'am,
00:05:12that is a very tempting offer,
00:05:17but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to turn you down.
00:05:20You see, I already have a girlfriend,
00:05:22and...
00:05:23well, I plan on proposing tonight.
00:05:25Is she prettier than my mommy?
00:05:27I am so sorry for her
00:05:30and my own reckless offer.
00:05:35Congratulations.
00:05:36I'm sure your proposal will go perfectly.
00:05:39Come on.
00:05:42Your dessert's ready, sir.
00:05:47Wait, what?
00:05:48The top three media companies are teaming up against Mirror Media?
00:05:51And they're dragging my personal life into this?
00:05:53Who's behind this?
00:05:54It's Preston Norton.
00:05:56I double-checked.
00:05:57The Nortons are one of the most powerful families in the country.
00:06:00Easily the richest in the state.
00:06:02We're helpless against them.
00:06:03Preston, you son of a...
00:06:05Brooke, we're out of options.
00:06:07There might be one person left who could help us.
00:06:09The boss of Enro's group.
00:06:12Mr. S.
00:06:13They need my help.
00:06:14I know, I know.
00:06:16We're nobody's to a guy like that,
00:06:18but reach out.
00:06:20Whatever he wants, I'll do it.
00:06:24Mr. Handsome, please save my mommy.
00:06:27Also, don't forget.
00:06:28Uh, sorry for listening to your phone call,
00:06:30but, um, maybe I can help.
00:06:34You?
00:06:36Consider an apology for turning down your proposal.
00:06:44Warren, um, I need you to find and delete
00:06:48every negative post about the CEO, um...
00:06:51Sorry, your name again?
00:06:54Uh, Freya Sterling.
00:06:58Uh, Freya Sterling?
00:07:00And scrub every platform clean
00:07:02of any smears against her or mirror media.
00:07:04And Warren, let's leak some dirt on the Nortons.
00:07:07Remind them who really runs things around here.
00:07:14It's all taken care of.
00:07:17You're joking, right?
00:07:20Just with one phone call?
00:07:21Just like that?
00:07:24This guy's just some random guy on parole.
00:07:26There's no way he actually fixed anything.
00:07:29Probably bluffing so he doesn't look weak
00:07:30in front of me and Elsa.
00:07:32I get it, Ms. Sterling.
00:07:33I know it sounds unbelievable,
00:07:35but, um, yeah, just give it a moment.
00:07:38You'll like the surprise.
00:07:39Oh, and, um...
00:07:41Yep, that's my cue.
00:07:43My girlfriend's here.
00:07:44What are we doing here again?
00:07:52Do you remember that guy, like, six years ago,
00:07:55went to jail for me?
00:07:56Yeah, ew.
00:07:58Isabella?
00:08:00Cassius!
00:08:01Good, you're right on time.
00:08:03We're done.
00:08:07We're done.
00:08:10Wait, what?
00:08:12Are you serious?
00:08:13I-I just finished my sentence.
00:08:16We can finally be together.
00:08:18I-I picked up your favorite dessert.
00:08:20Are you trying to get me fat?
00:08:24Do you really think I want to eat cheap junk like that?
00:08:27Get lost, Cassius.
00:08:29You're a broke, jobless loser with a criminal record.
00:08:32Isabella's way out of your league.
00:08:34Isabella...
00:08:35Isabella, where is this coming from?
00:08:38I'm about to be head of news at Mere Media.
00:08:42That's 20 million a year.
00:08:45I'm not wasting my time on gutter trash that can easily be sent back into the slammer at any moment.
00:08:50That's why you're breaking up with me?
00:08:53Six years ago, you were the one caught red-handed with stolen goods.
00:08:57I took the phone for you.
00:08:59Blah, blah, frickin' blah.
00:09:00You volunteered.
00:09:02Nobody forced you to do it.
00:09:04Honestly, you're lucky that you got to sacrifice yourself for Isabella.
00:09:08Just stop with the sob story, Cassius.
00:09:10I know what you're really here for.
00:09:12A payout.
00:09:13Well, here.
00:09:14Take it.
00:09:20You think I give a shit about the money?
00:09:23Isabella, how do you think that someone with zero connections just stumbled their way into exclusive interviews year after year?
00:09:29Everything you have...
00:09:30Is because I worked my ass off to get here.
00:09:33I certainly didn't need any of your help.
00:09:37And whose help did you need, Isabella?
00:09:40You really want to know.
00:09:42Freya Sterling, CEO of Mirror Media.
00:09:46Freya, that's the woman I just helped.
00:09:56Just wait, Mom.
00:09:58There's no way that handsome guy was lying.
00:10:05Miss Sterling, you're not going to believe it.
00:10:07Every sneer post about you and Mirror Media is gone.
00:10:09And all of it vanished.
00:10:12What?
00:10:13That's incredible.
00:10:20Freya, how did you get that dirt on my family?
00:10:22Our stock just plummeted 80%.
00:10:24It was you, wasn't it?
00:10:26I'm going to get you for this.
00:10:29See?
00:10:29I told you he's awesome.
00:10:31Like superhero level awesome.
00:10:33I wish you were my real dad.
00:10:35Crushed the Norton stock by 80%?
00:10:37Who is this guy?
00:10:40Oh, you see that?
00:10:42Miss Sterling sent that car just for me.
00:10:45You'll never get such a nice ride in your whole miserable broke life.
00:10:50What happened to you?
00:10:53Six years ago, you didn't give a shit about my status when you were saving me.
00:10:56Now you're so shallow and money obsessed.
00:11:00People change.
00:11:01With Miss Sterling's help, I'm part of the elite now.
00:11:05You have a criminal record, so you could never get a proper job.
00:11:08And besides, six years ago, I wasn't the one who saved you.
00:11:13Wait, what?
00:11:14You weren't the one who saved my life?
00:11:19No, of course not, idiot.
00:11:21Six years ago, when I worked at the hotel, I just snuck into your room to get some extra cash.
00:11:26It was you who woke up and started blabbing about devoting the rest of your life to me.
00:11:32I mean, okay, you weren't completely useless, though.
00:11:35I mean, thanks for going to prison for me, Cassius.
00:11:38I wouldn't be here today without you.
00:11:40Did anyone follow you?
00:11:46No.
00:11:47No, I don't think so.
00:11:48Cassius, I didn't steal anything.
00:11:50I'm so scared.
00:11:51I don't want to go to jail.
00:11:53Hey.
00:11:55It's going to be okay.
00:11:57You know, I'm going to tell them that I did it.
00:12:01I'm going to take your place.
00:12:04Cassius!
00:12:05I don't know what to say.
00:12:07Thank you!
00:12:09I'm going to marry you, okay?
00:12:11You save me first, okay?
00:12:13I'm going to handle this for you, and when I get out, I'm going to give you the life you always dreamed of.
00:12:26See you never, dumbass.
00:12:30So you lied to me.
00:12:31Oh, lied, please.
00:12:33I didn't make you do anything.
00:12:35And I don't know who rescued you.
00:12:36Probably some nobody I wouldn't let polish my shoes.
00:12:39Hey.
00:12:45What happened to you?
00:12:47Get your filthy hands off of me.
00:12:50I have a gala to get to.
00:12:51I'm done talking to you.
00:12:53Six years.
00:13:06Six years wasted.
00:13:09All those sleepless nights.
00:13:12What a joke.
00:13:13But who was it who saved me six years ago?
00:13:16Mr. Handsome!
00:13:18You saved my mommy today, right?
00:13:22I do want to thank you.
00:13:24You saved me twice today.
00:13:26Can I at least get your name?
00:13:30Cassius Adams.
00:13:33Handsome guy, where is your girlfriend?
00:13:36Did she dump you?
00:13:37Elsa, he's going to propose.
00:13:39Nuh-uh.
00:13:40Look, his cake's on the ground.
00:13:42He totally just got dumped.
00:13:44Looks like we got a smart little detective, huh?
00:13:48My offer still stands.
00:13:49We could get married today, right now.
00:13:52Miss Sterling, as you can see, I'm just a convict on parole.
00:13:58Why would you want to marry me?
00:13:59You don't care about your public image?
00:14:02I don't care about that.
00:14:03You stepped in and saved two strangers today without hesitating.
00:14:07That's the kind of man that will build his own empire one day.
00:14:10And I'd be proud to stand by him.
00:14:12As a wife and a partner.
00:14:17Okay.
00:14:19I will marry you.
00:14:21And as your husband and Elsa's father,
00:14:23I promise that no one will dare harm you two ever again.
00:14:27Yay! I have a daddy!
00:14:33Cassius, my gal is tonight, and I want you by my side.
00:14:39I've arranged a car and my stylist to help you look the part.
00:14:42I'm going to meet up with you after I wrap up things in the office.
00:14:45Sounds perfect.
00:14:47I'll see you too, then.
00:15:03Congratulations, Miss Davis.
00:15:23Handpicked by Miss Sterling to lead Mirror Media's news division.
00:15:28And at such a young age.
00:15:30It was so incredibly honored.
00:15:33And it's all because of Mrs. Sterling's belief in me.
00:15:36A toast to her.
00:15:47Cassius?
00:15:49What the hell is he doing here?
00:15:57Cassius!
00:15:58Move!
00:15:59Don't think that just because you're dressed up all fancy that you're part of the elite.
00:16:04This is a high society event, not a prison yard.
00:16:07Get out!
00:16:09Cassius' invites were sent out to the social elite?
00:16:13Not jobless losers like you.
00:16:17How the hell did you even sneak in here anyways?
00:16:20Sneak in?
00:16:23Oh, hardly.
00:16:24Freya sent a driver for me and, uh, I didn't mention anything about needing an invitation.
00:16:35Okay, you've officially lost it.
00:16:38Do you actually expect us to believe that Freya personally sent you a driver to Isabella's gala?
00:16:45Are you nuts?
00:16:48Cassius, I don't know how to get it through your little head.
00:16:52We're done.
00:16:53Over.
00:16:55Why don't you just leave before I have to throw you out on the street?
00:16:58Oh, Isabella.
00:17:00I'm not here for you.
00:17:02And this is Freya's gala.
00:17:04And trust me, she does not mind that I'm here.
00:17:06Cassius, do you know who you're speaking about?
00:17:10Freya Sterling isn't just a CEO.
00:17:12She's the queen of news.
00:17:14How the hell would she know some broke loser who just got out of prison?
00:17:19Hmm.
00:17:20Yeah, that's a good question.
00:17:21Um, why don't you ask her when she gets here?
00:17:25Oh.
00:17:26Miss Sterling, we tried everything.
00:17:33We found that Mr. Adams turned himself in for theft six years ago, but that's it.
00:17:38And now we're getting direct warnings from the CIA director himself to back off.
00:17:43So my brand new husband has a past that even I can't reach.
00:17:48Cassius Adams, I'm going to find out exactly who you are.
00:17:53Cassius!
00:17:54Cassius, don't you think that you're taking these jokes of yours too far?
00:18:00But everything I've said is the truth.
00:18:02Cassius, once Miss Sterling learns about the disrespectful lies you've been spewing,
00:18:07there won't be a single corner of this entire country that you can hide in.
00:18:10Oh, wow.
00:18:11Freya, is that scary?
00:18:13I didn't realize.
00:18:14That's enough.
00:18:15Freya Sterling is the real deal.
00:18:17Filth like you need to keep her name out of your mouth.
00:18:21I'm going to teach you a lesson.
00:18:24Isabella, I am willing to let things slide.
00:18:28But trust me, you don't want to push me.
00:18:33First, you sneak in here without an invitation and then you attack my sister?
00:18:39Oh, you've been in prison so long, you forgot your manners.
00:18:42When your sister tries to hit me, it's justice.
00:18:44But when I try to defend myself, I'm a barbarian?
00:18:49Isabella, you can't have journalistic integrity with that kind of bias.
00:18:55Careful.
00:18:56Keep it up and you might lose your job.
00:18:58Shut your goddamn mouth, you stupid fucking clown.
00:19:02Miss Davis is Miss Sterling's protégé.
00:19:05If her sister strikes you, you turn the other cheek.
00:19:08Got it?
00:19:11Insolent fool.
00:19:12Get out before we throw you out ourselves.
00:19:15Hey, buddy.
00:19:17You're...
00:19:18Pull your ass out of here.
00:19:19Yeah, don't push your luck.
00:19:22You wouldn't want us to get our hands dirty.
00:19:24Let's be nice for Miss Davis' sake.
00:19:27There's 200 grand on this card.
00:19:30Pick it up with your teeth and crawl out of here.
00:19:34Did you hear her?
00:19:58She said, pick it up with your mouth and we'll let you out in one piece.
00:20:03Hmm.
00:20:05Yeah, how about now?
00:20:08Well, if you don't want to do this the easy way, then I'll...
00:20:13Isabella is just a little reporter who happened to catch Frey's attention.
00:20:19Is she really worth all this trouble?
00:20:21Why is all of high society swooping in to save her?
00:20:24You don't get it, you loser.
00:20:26I see that shackle on you.
00:20:28You're just another hobo out on parole.
00:20:33Hey, Cassius, get your filthy ass off Miss Sterling's throne.
00:20:53Oh, this is Freya's chair?
00:20:55No, I'll stay.
00:20:56Cassius, this is your last warning.
00:21:00When Miss Sterling finds out what you've done, you'll be dead.
00:21:03You can't afford to piss her off.
00:21:05Actually, I can afford just about anything in this world.
00:21:07Quit bluffing.
00:21:10Do you really think that you're better than Miss Sterling?
00:21:13Yeah, maybe you do have some good journalistic instincts at home.
00:21:15Shut up!
00:21:20The only reason these people here are indulging in your little act is because of me.
00:21:24Otherwise, you'd be thrown out on the street by now.
00:21:27My word, and they'll have you beaten bloody and dumped out.
00:21:32Isabella, I don't think you realize who you just hit me.
00:21:35I'm done with your bullshit, Cassius.
00:21:37Mr. Whitmore, call security.
00:21:39Have them break his legs and dump him out.
00:21:41Right away, Miss Davis.
00:21:43Security, I need all hands on deck in the banquet hall.
00:21:47Now!
00:21:50Break this clown's legs and throw him out the door!
00:21:55The CEO of Mirror Media is here.
00:22:07Stop!
00:22:13Miss Sterling, welcome.
00:22:21Now that I've gotten a good look at his face, he seems familiar.
00:22:24No way.
00:22:48It can't be him.
00:22:49Look at Cassius.
00:22:52He looks so scared he could piss his pants.
00:22:55Miss Sterling's about to ruin you, loser.
00:22:58Cassius, now's the chance to beg for forgiveness.
00:23:01Once Miss Sterling opens her mouth, you won't stand a chance.
00:23:05Why would I beg?
00:23:06I've done nothing wrong.
00:23:08Why is everyone making a scene at my gala?
00:23:10Miss Sterling, my sincerest apologies.
00:23:14This bottom-feeding criminal snuck into your invite.
00:23:19Move!
00:23:19Stop standing around and throw out this gutter rat!
00:23:22Hold on.
00:23:23Who are you calling a bottom-feeder?
00:23:30Miss Sterling, don't worry.
00:23:31Someone of your caliber shouldn't so much as look at human excrement like him.
00:23:36I wasn't talking to you.
00:23:37Don't interrupt.
00:23:42I asked you a question, Sam.
00:23:44That psycho is sitting in your seat.
00:23:51Him?
00:23:53He's a bottom-feeder?
00:23:59He's a bottom-feeder?
00:24:00Here's the thing, Miss Sterling.
00:24:02That guy over there is Cassius.
00:24:05He's a worthless parasite that has been mooching off my sister Isabella for the past six years.
00:24:11And then he went to jail for theft.
00:24:14Isabella dumped him, of course.
00:24:16But now that he's out of prison,
00:24:19and Isabella's about to get the top spot at Mirror Media,
00:24:22he snuck his way in here to harass her for a payout.
00:24:26The audacity!
00:24:28A parasite, huh?
00:24:29Exactly!
00:24:30Isn't it disgusting?
00:24:33Thank God Isabella dumped his ass, am I right?
00:24:35He's not only a lying thief, but he's also a lying con artist, too.
00:24:40A con artist?
00:24:41That's right.
00:24:43Miss Sterling, I'm standing here tonight as the newest member of Mirror Media
00:24:47because of my family,
00:24:49because of my family, my hard work, and your belief in me.
00:24:53Not because of some lying, petty ex.
00:24:56He's been rotting away in prison for the last six years,
00:24:59and now he thinks he can just walk in and steal all of my accomplishments?
00:25:03Prison hasn't stopped his lying ways.
00:25:08I dumped him to save Mirror Media's reputation,
00:25:10and he waltzed in here, just started raving like a lunatic.
00:25:15And he's said all sorts of disrespectful things about you too, Miss Sterling.
00:25:19Right.
00:25:21So you're his ex-girlfriend?
00:25:22No, no, no.
00:25:24We're done.
00:25:25Completely over.
00:25:27So please, don't go easy on him for my sake, okay?
00:25:32He needs to learn that there's a price to pay for those who screw up so badly.
00:25:37Wow.
00:25:38Well, there's the first thing you've said all evening I actually agree with.
00:25:42Ignorance comes with a price.
00:25:45Mouthing off in front of Miss Sterling,
00:25:47you have got a goddamn death wish.
00:25:54Cassius, when you cross Miss Sterling,
00:25:57it's like spitting in the face of Mirror Media itself.
00:26:00You haven't just dug your own grave.
00:26:03You've bought yourself a ticket straight to hell.
00:26:06Miss Sterling,
00:26:07why don't we just throw the lying thief out on the street right now?
00:26:12We don't want to ruin the rest of this beautiful night for the rest of us.
00:26:16Yes, yes, exactly.
00:26:18Miss Sterling,
00:26:20this whack job crashed your event just to ruin everything.
00:26:24Why, I was just about to throw him out when you showed up.
00:26:28Are you saying that I shouldn't have come?
00:26:29No, no, no, no, not at all.
00:26:32Um, guards!
00:26:35Who said you could throw him out?
00:26:39I get it.
00:26:42Miss Sterling thinks throwing him out isn't harsh enough.
00:26:44That's gotta be it.
00:26:45That bum's about to pay a bloody price.
00:26:48Cassius, didn't I warn you?
00:26:50This is what you get for running your mouth.
00:26:53Now you're gonna have to pay the price.
00:26:54That's his problem now, sis.
00:26:57He's dug his own grave.
00:26:58I mean, disrespecting the Miss Sterling?
00:27:02That's like driving full speed off a fucking cliff.
00:27:06Miss Sterling, please forgive my ignorance.
00:27:09You're right.
00:27:10We will rough him up first and then...
00:27:16Well, look at this pretty girl.
00:27:19Where'd you get that dress?
00:27:22Let me put it for you.
00:27:23Oh.
00:27:23Oh, my God.
00:27:25Cassius, what are you doing?
00:27:30Cassius, get your worthless, filthy hands off Miss Elsa right now!
00:27:34Worthless.
00:27:35Bottom feeder.
00:27:36Parasite.
00:27:37You've been throwing around so many accusations without proof.
00:27:41Never thought I'd hear such disparaging language
00:27:43spewed from the mouths of professional journalists.
00:27:53Listen closely.
00:27:57The con artist.
00:27:59Thief.
00:28:00Worthless bum.
00:28:01You've all been humiliating.
00:28:07He's my lawfully wedded husband.
00:28:12Cassius Adams.
00:28:19Married?
00:28:19He's Miss Sterling's husband?
00:28:25Oh, my God.
00:28:26What have we done?
00:28:28We're all screwed.
00:28:29Isabella, am I hearing things?
00:28:32No.
00:28:33No, it's impossible.
00:28:34Miss Sterling wouldn't take a filthy thief as a husband?
00:28:38Hey, Daddy, their faces look so silly.
00:28:40Yeah, they do, don't they, sweetheart?
00:28:42I'll tell you, there is nothing sillier than a bunch of clowns
00:28:45who don't know their place.
00:28:46Everyone knows Miss Sterling is a single mother
00:28:48and her little daughter Elsa's are pride and joy,
00:28:51so what if this Cassius guy tricked Elsa
00:28:53into thinking that he's her father?
00:28:55That's why he got in with Miss Sterling.
00:28:58Elsa is very young.
00:28:59You could be onto something.
00:29:01Cassius, have you no shame
00:29:04conning with a little girl to get close to Miss Sterling?
00:29:08How dare you?
00:29:09You're a liar.
00:29:10Daddy never tricked me or Mommy.
00:29:12Mommy was the one who asked Daddy to get married.
00:29:14So there!
00:29:17What?
00:29:19Surely this must be a mistake.
00:29:21Miss Sterling, surely your daughter must be confused.
00:29:25My daughter is correct.
00:29:26I am the one who proposed to Mr. Adams.
00:29:29But how?
00:29:31I just broke up with him this morning
00:29:35and now he's married to the Queen of News?
00:29:40How is this happening?
00:29:42How does a queen like Miss Sterling
00:29:45end up with a loser like you?
00:29:49Miss Sterling, please don't listen to any of Cassius' lies.
00:29:53He must have sweet-talked your daughter
00:29:55and took advantage of her to get close to you.
00:29:58Yeah.
00:29:59A convicted criminal like him?
00:30:01How could he ever deserve you?
00:30:04Ma'am, keeping a loser husband like him
00:30:07would be a stain to your family
00:30:08and Miramedia's reputation.
00:30:10What, now I need your permission on who I marry?
00:30:12No, no, Miss Sterling, of course not.
00:30:16It's just Cassius is such a worthless loser.
00:30:21He could be sent back to the slammer at any minute.
00:30:24Think of your company.
00:30:25Enough.
00:30:26Who are you to pass judgment on my husband?
00:30:29You made it very clear that you and Mr. Adams are over.
00:30:32As of today, he is my husband
00:30:34and I will not tolerate your slander.
00:30:36Yeah, none of you can say any mean things about my daddy.
00:30:39You call my daddy names.
00:30:42You're a bad lady.
00:30:43My mommy's going to get you in trouble.
00:30:47Mommy, are you going to teach him a lesson?
00:30:50They were so mean to daddy.
00:30:52Don't worry, Elsa.
00:30:53Nobody's going to humiliate my husband at my gala.
00:31:02Isabella Davis, right?
00:31:04The Pulitzer nominee that we just hired
00:31:06at $20 million a year.
00:31:08Well, yes, I'm flattered you remembered, Miss Sterling,
00:31:12but you have to listen to me.
00:31:14That man next to you is a total fraud.
00:31:16An actual convicted criminal.
00:31:19Cassius, own up to how you manipulated
00:31:22little Elsa and Miss Sterling into this whole mess
00:31:25before I do, before I air your crimes
00:31:28on the front page of the newspaper
00:31:30for the whole world to see.
00:31:32Send you right back into jail.
00:31:33Isabella, journalism at its core
00:31:37is about the pursuit of truth.
00:31:39It's not a weapon.
00:31:41And right now you're threatening
00:31:42to turn your slander into libel?
00:31:45Freya, are you sure you want someone like that
00:31:47as your news director still?
00:31:48Cassius, you think you can question me?
00:31:58Or anyone here?
00:32:01Know your place.
00:32:03Miss Sterling, don't believe Cassius' lies.
00:32:06He's just a rat that got out of prison.
00:32:08What does he know about journalism?
00:32:10I am a Pulitzer nominee.
00:32:12I've had every offer
00:32:14from every media news outlet in the country.
00:32:17I think your choice should be easy.
00:32:20Isabella, one more rude remark from you
00:32:22and I will happily have my security
00:32:23drag you out of here.
00:32:25Miss Sterling,
00:32:27we've known Cassius for over six years
00:32:30and he's been the same pathetic,
00:32:32desperate nobody the entire time.
00:32:35You have to believe us.
00:32:36Enough!
00:32:36I will not tolerate baseless rumors.
00:32:40Do you want to hear the truth?
00:32:41With a single phone call,
00:32:43Cassius was able to solve a crisis
00:32:45that even I was powerless to solve.
00:32:48You think any of you
00:32:49have the right to question him?
00:32:52Or slander him?
00:32:54You know, Isabella,
00:32:55I should thank you.
00:32:57If it wasn't for your ignorance,
00:33:00I wouldn't have been lucky enough
00:33:01to meet this incredible husband
00:33:04and wonderful father to my child.
00:33:06Okay, who in the hell is this Cassius guy
00:33:14and why is Miss Sterling treating him like royalty?
00:33:17Isabella,
00:33:18I took parole just so I could propose to you
00:33:20before Thanksgiving
00:33:21and make you the happiest woman in the world.
00:33:25And all I got in return
00:33:26was humiliation, betrayal,
00:33:29and slander.
00:33:34But now that's in the past.
00:33:38We're over.
00:33:43Cassius.
00:33:44And after all that bluffing,
00:33:45you're still just a criminal.
00:33:47Oh, trust me.
00:33:48When you finally learn who I really am,
00:33:51all you'll feel is regret.
00:33:53Miss Sterling said he solved all her problems.
00:33:55Does she mean Cassius is the one
00:33:58who crushed all those rumors
00:33:59about Miss Sterling and Mirror Media?
00:34:06Okay, rein it in, boys.
00:34:09Cassius has been stuck in the slammer
00:34:11for the past six years.
00:34:12You really think that he's solved an issue
00:34:15that the Queen of News couldn't fix herself?
00:34:18Miss Sterling.
00:34:20I know Cassius better than anyone.
00:34:22He's just here for your money.
00:34:24Hey, Isabella.
00:34:26What makes you so sure
00:34:27that you can read people better than I can?
00:34:30If you weren't so pathetic,
00:34:31I might be insulted.
00:34:34Meeting this man and marrying him
00:34:36has been the best thing
00:34:37that's ever happened to me.
00:34:39Yeah, my daddy's super cool.
00:34:44Cassius,
00:34:45I cannot fathom what type of voodoo you did
00:34:48to wrap Miss Sterling around your finger,
00:34:51but I swear to God,
00:34:54I will not let some broke chump like you
00:34:57keep me from landing this job.
00:34:58Oh, really?
00:35:00Because my husband brought up
00:35:01a really good point earlier.
00:35:03Isabella,
00:35:05in light of your shameful behavior tonight,
00:35:07I'd like to officially notify you
00:35:09that your contract with Mirror Media
00:35:11has officially been terminated.
00:35:14Congratulations.
00:35:15You're fired.
00:35:16Why?
00:35:22No, no, no, no.
00:35:23Miss Sterling,
00:35:24you can't...
00:35:25You can't...
00:35:26You can't just obliterate my career
00:35:29because of some criminal.
00:35:32I'm...
00:35:32I'm a Pulitzer nominee.
00:35:35I...
00:35:36Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
00:35:38With Isabella on board,
00:35:39Mirror Media was headed straight to the top.
00:35:42You can't just can her
00:35:43because of this lying sack of trash.
00:35:45Oh, really?
00:35:46Who's lying here?
00:35:47You've been spreading lies
00:35:48about my loyal, loving husband
00:35:50and father to my daughter all night.
00:35:53And Mirror Media takes slander very seriously.
00:35:56Brooke?
00:35:59Anyone who's disrespected my husband,
00:36:02throw them out.
00:36:03And cancel all the deals
00:36:04that Mirror Media has with them.
00:36:06It's time they learn the cost
00:36:07of talking ill about my husband.
00:36:09Yes, ma'am.
00:36:12You heard her.
00:36:13Throw them out.
00:36:14Yes, ma'am.
00:36:15Oh, no.
00:36:17It's over.
00:36:19It's over.
00:36:21No.
00:36:22No!
00:36:23No!
00:36:26It's over.
00:36:27It's over.
00:36:32No!
00:36:36No!
00:36:37Cassie is pleased.
00:36:38Please, you can't let her do this to me.
00:36:40I didn't mean it.
00:36:42Please, you have to save me.
00:36:45I told you you would be filled with regret.
00:36:48Now there's nothing for you to do
00:36:49except drown in it.
00:36:51Hold it.
00:36:53I've been sent by
00:36:54the Enros Group Secretary Warren Franco
00:36:56to give a special delivery
00:36:58for a Isabella Davis.
00:37:00I'm Isabella Davis!
00:37:01Congratulations, Mrs. Davis.
00:37:08You've been granted exclusive access
00:37:11to an interview with Mr. S.
00:37:12from the Enros Group.
00:37:14Mr. Franco will be in touch
00:37:15very shortly to coordinate the interview.
00:37:20Hello?
00:37:21Mr. Warren?
00:37:22Yes, thank you so much
00:37:24for this opportunity.
00:37:25I won't waste it.
00:37:26Oh, shoot.
00:37:28I forgot to cancel this.
00:37:30Mr. S himself personally
00:37:32requested you to interview him.
00:37:33He'd also like to inform you
00:37:35that he's been your benefactor
00:37:36for the past six years.
00:37:38Mr. S plans to make an appearance
00:37:40at the gala later this evening.
00:37:41Enjoy your big night.
00:37:45Pamela, do you know what this means?
00:37:47An exclusive interview with Mr. S
00:37:50that that's the biggest get in journalism?
00:37:52And he's been helping my career
00:37:54the entire time!
00:37:57Mr. S, the mystery man
00:38:00who never shows his face in public?
00:38:02The one who has the president
00:38:03at his beck and call?
00:38:05The richest man in the world!
00:38:08That's right!
00:38:10Miss Sterling, drop Cassius.
00:38:13Raise my original offer
00:38:15to 200 million
00:38:16and I might consider rejoining Mirror Media.
00:38:20We both know
00:38:20that if your company drops
00:38:22this exclusive on Mr. S
00:38:24Mirror Media won't just
00:38:25dominate the country
00:38:26it'll dominate the goddamn world!
00:38:31Miss Sterling,
00:38:32an exclusive with Mr. S
00:38:33would be huge.
00:38:34We've been trying to get him
00:38:35to talk to us for years.
00:38:41No.
00:38:45Mirror Media has zero interest
00:38:47in partnering with a self-serving
00:38:49and arrogant fool such as yourself.
00:38:51Even if that means losing the exclusive
00:38:53with Mr. S,
00:38:54I simply can't overlook the disrespect
00:38:56you have shown my husband this evening.
00:38:58Oh, figures!
00:39:03You know, Freya Sterling,
00:39:04I thought you were different.
00:39:06Ruthless.
00:39:07Cutthroat.
00:39:08Turns out,
00:39:09you're just a soft-minded fool.
00:39:12Oh, but that's fine by me.
00:39:14I mean,
00:39:14once I drop this exclusive,
00:39:16I'll be the queen of news,
00:39:18so have fun watching from the sidelines
00:39:19while I steal your throne.
00:39:22I can't believe Freya would make
00:39:24such a big sacrifice just for me.
00:39:27I need to make her choice worth it.
00:39:29Hey,
00:39:30don't worry.
00:39:33Because one phone call from me
00:39:35and the Enrose Group
00:39:36will pull that exclusive interview
00:39:37right out of your hands.
00:39:38And the Enrose Group
00:39:40will pull that exclusive interview
00:39:42right out of your hands.
00:39:47Oh my gosh.
00:39:48What did you just say, Cassius?
00:39:50No, like, really,
00:39:51can you repeat it again?
00:39:52Because I could use another laugh.
00:39:55He's so confident.
00:39:56Is Cassius some kind of higher-up
00:39:58at Enrose Group?
00:39:59That's why no one can dig up his background.
00:40:01But still,
00:40:02who the hell is he?
00:40:04Oh my God.
00:40:05Did you guys hear him?
00:40:06Cassius is going to take away
00:40:08Isabella's exclusive.
00:40:10Do you think that Mr. S cares
00:40:11at all what you think?
00:40:13What are you, some big shot?
00:40:15Bingo.
00:40:17Cassius,
00:40:17you've been locked up
00:40:19for the past six years,
00:40:20so let me get you up to date.
00:40:22The Enrose Group
00:40:23is the biggest media powerhouse
00:40:25on the planet.
00:40:26I mean,
00:40:26even the president
00:40:27wouldn't be here
00:40:28without them today.
00:40:29So,
00:40:29little word of advice,
00:40:31I'd make yourself scarce
00:40:32before Mr. S gets here.
00:40:33Once he hears the bullshit
00:40:35you've been spewing,
00:40:36you'll be a dead man walking.
00:40:38Oh, is that so?
00:40:39Hmm.
00:40:40Cassius,
00:40:41I know there's more to you
00:40:43than meets the eye,
00:40:44but this is Mr. S
00:40:45we're talking about.
00:40:47She's not worth it.
00:40:48Don't worry, Mommy.
00:40:49Daddy's more amazing
00:40:50than anyone in the world.
00:40:53Hey.
00:40:54Trust me.
00:40:55Warren,
00:41:02remember those
00:41:03exclusive interview rights
00:41:05you gave to Isabella Davis?
00:41:08Retract them now.
00:41:10Cute.
00:41:11Real cute, Cassius.
00:41:13What, you think
00:41:13Secretary Warren
00:41:14is just gonna
00:41:15do what you say
00:41:16just because you told him to?
00:41:18Three.
00:41:19Just quit embarrassing yourself
00:41:21and fuck off.
00:41:22Two.
00:41:23Cassius,
00:41:24stop turning this place
00:41:25into a circus,
00:41:26you clown.
00:41:27Go on.
00:41:33That must be
00:41:34Mr. S arriving.
00:41:35Oh.
00:41:37Everybody listen to this.
00:41:39Hello,
00:41:40Miss Isabella Davis.
00:41:41I regret to inform you
00:41:42that as per direct orders
00:41:43from the highest level
00:41:44of the En-Rose group,
00:41:45your exclusive interview rights
00:41:47with Mr. S
00:41:48are hereby revoked.
00:41:50What?
00:41:52Why you can't do that?
00:41:54What?
00:41:54No, no, Mr. Warren.
00:41:56You can't,
00:41:57they can't do that.
00:41:58So tell me, Isabella.
00:42:01Who's the clown now?
00:42:03They can't do this.
00:42:04They can't just
00:42:05take away my interview.
00:42:07Why are they?
00:42:09Cassius?
00:42:10Who the hell are you?
00:42:12How do you even know
00:42:13the En-Rose secretary group?
00:42:15Well, who I am
00:42:16doesn't matter.
00:42:17What does matter
00:42:18is you finally realizing
00:42:19just how clueless
00:42:21you've been?
00:42:23Was I wrong
00:42:24about Cassius
00:42:25this whole time?
00:42:26What if he's
00:42:27really some low-key
00:42:28behind-the-scenes big shot?
00:42:30God,
00:42:30was dumping him
00:42:31actually some type
00:42:32of career suicide?
00:42:33Hey,
00:42:34don't freak out,
00:42:36sis.
00:42:36Sure,
00:42:37so Cassius knows
00:42:38a guy who knows a guy.
00:42:40But don't you forget,
00:42:42Mr. S
00:42:42handpicked
00:42:43you
00:42:44for that exclusive.
00:42:46Plus,
00:42:46he was backing you
00:42:47for years before this.
00:42:48Just turn up the charm
00:42:50when he gets here
00:42:51and you'll snatch back
00:42:53those exclusive rights
00:42:54no problem.
00:42:55Yeah.
00:42:56Yeah, you're right.
00:42:57Mr. S has been backing me
00:42:59for years.
00:42:59He clearly believes
00:43:00in my talent.
00:43:01There's no way
00:43:02he would take away
00:43:03my interview.
00:43:04Lying to yourself
00:43:05now, Isabella?
00:43:06Not good journalism.
00:43:08Oh,
00:43:09shut the fuck up,
00:43:11Cassius.
00:43:11When Mr. S walks in,
00:43:13that exclusive
00:43:14will be back
00:43:14in my hands
00:43:15and I'll sell it
00:43:16to a real media giant
00:43:18and take over
00:43:19the entire fucking industry
00:43:20while you
00:43:21and mere media
00:43:23rot.
00:43:25Oh, really?
00:43:27And what if I told you
00:43:28I'm Mr. S?
00:43:35I'm Mr. S.
00:43:41Oh, my God,
00:43:42Cassius,
00:43:44have you lost your mind?
00:43:46Oh, Miss Sterling,
00:43:47do you really want
00:43:48to give up this exclusive
00:43:49for some wacko
00:43:51in Fantasy World?
00:43:53My question exactly.
00:43:54Freya,
00:44:09I cannot believe
00:44:10that you gave up
00:44:11an exclusive
00:44:11with Mr. S.
00:44:13You might as well
00:44:13give an over-mere media
00:44:14to me.
00:44:15You seriously
00:44:16married this fucking loser?
00:44:17Have you forgotten
00:44:18that I'm your fiancé?
00:44:21Preston,
00:44:21I wouldn't marry you
00:44:22if you were the last man
00:44:23on Earth.
00:44:27Wait,
00:44:28Freya was going
00:44:29to marry Preston,
00:44:30the Norton family heir?
00:44:31They've got hundreds
00:44:32of billions.
00:44:34Even if Cassius
00:44:34has connections,
00:44:36Freya's totally nuts
00:44:36to give up
00:44:37on the Norton money.
00:44:38For real.
00:44:39Unless,
00:44:40Cassius is somehow
00:44:42an even bigger deal
00:44:42than Preston.
00:44:44Please.
00:44:45Preston runs
00:44:46all of the major
00:44:47news companies
00:44:48in the state.
00:44:49Sure,
00:44:49Cassius might have
00:44:50a couple connections,
00:44:51but he's nothing
00:44:52compared to the Norton heir.
00:44:53Freya,
00:44:54I'm sure you recognize
00:44:54my friends here
00:44:55that the CEOs
00:44:56are the three biggest
00:44:57media giants.
00:44:58They have the power
00:44:59to destroy your empire
00:45:01with the flick of a wrist.
00:45:02So I will give you
00:45:03one last chance.
00:45:06Divorce this convicted felon,
00:45:07marry me,
00:45:08or I will wipe
00:45:10mere media
00:45:10off the face
00:45:11of the map.
00:45:13Fuck you, Preston.
00:45:16Hey, Vicqua,
00:45:16this is the part
00:45:17where you turn tail
00:45:18and get the fuck
00:45:19out of here
00:45:19before I put you
00:45:20back in your jail cell
00:45:21where you belong.
00:45:22You're a dead man,
00:45:23Preston Norton.
00:45:26You were dead
00:45:27the second
00:45:27you threatened my wife.
00:45:30Now all that's
00:45:31left for you to do
00:45:31is watch your entire
00:45:33family crumble to pieces.
00:45:36Just watch your entire
00:45:38family crumble to pieces.
00:45:41Cassius, is it?
00:45:42See, what all I see here
00:45:43is gutter trash
00:45:44who's trying to make
00:45:45ends meet
00:45:45because you don't even know
00:45:46what the Norton family
00:45:47is capable of.
00:45:48But don't worry,
00:45:50you're going to learn
00:45:50the hard way.
00:45:55Preston, what the hell
00:45:56are you doing?
00:45:57Fred, I can't believe
00:45:58you're still sticking up
00:45:59for this guy.
00:45:59You only met him today.
00:46:01I have been by your side
00:46:02since we were kids.
00:46:03Not to mention,
00:46:03he publicly insulted
00:46:05the Norton name.
00:46:06It's only right
00:46:06that I punish him.
00:46:08Don't worry about that.
00:46:09You go be a good girl
00:46:11and start prepping
00:46:11your engagement ceremony,
00:46:12huh?
00:46:13Back off!
00:46:14No one bullies
00:46:15my mommy.
00:46:16Preston, if you put a hand
00:46:18on Cassius,
00:46:19I will see to it
00:46:20that you are finished.
00:46:22Do you hear that?
00:46:23I think she's insulting me.
00:46:25Freya, you may want
00:46:26to think this over.
00:46:28You cross Preston,
00:46:28you're making enemies
00:46:29of us as well.
00:46:30You're damn right.
00:46:32And from this moment forward,
00:46:34my company doesn't do
00:46:35any business
00:46:35with Mirror Media.
00:46:37Same here.
00:46:38Freya, consider all ties
00:46:40to my company,
00:46:42null and void
00:46:42from here forward.
00:46:44The top three media giants
00:46:46just cut ties
00:46:47with Mirror Media?
00:46:48Miss Sterling's toast.
00:46:50See that, Cassius?
00:46:52Real power is when you
00:46:53hold all the cards
00:46:54in your own hands.
00:46:55You've just been doing
00:46:56other people's dirty work.
00:46:57That's not power.
00:46:59That's being
00:46:59a goddamn lap dog.
00:47:02You must be
00:47:03Isabella Davis,
00:47:04the new hotshot journalist
00:47:05who's gotten the attention
00:47:06of Mr. S.
00:47:07You know, I'm always
00:47:08looking for new talent.
00:47:10Especially one so easy
00:47:11on the eyes.
00:47:12Thank you, Mr. Norton.
00:47:14I'd love working with you.
00:47:17Mr. Norton.
00:47:19My firm's got real potential.
00:47:20If you're interested,
00:47:21we can sit down
00:47:21and talk to him.
00:47:21Mr. Norton, my firm.
00:47:23Mr. Norton, you need
00:47:24to come to us.
00:47:24Mr. Norton.
00:47:25Mr. Norton.
00:47:26You see, Freya,
00:47:27this is what happens
00:47:28when people go against me.
00:47:29I take everything
00:47:30that they've built
00:47:31and I turn it into dust.
00:47:33Just like that.
00:47:34Are you sure you still
00:47:35want to side with
00:47:35this pathetic con man?
00:47:37I've made my choice.
00:47:40And it's Cassius.
00:47:42I'm sticking with him.
00:47:44Ride or die.
00:47:51Now that is
00:47:51the woman I married.
00:47:53I'm lucky to be
00:47:54your man, Freya.
00:47:55And you know what?
00:47:57I'm not going to let
00:47:57anything happen
00:47:58to Mirror Media.
00:47:59In fact,
00:48:00I'm going to take it
00:48:01straight to the top.
00:48:03I'm going to take it
00:48:04straight to the top.
00:48:05Cassius,
00:48:06have you finally
00:48:07lost your mind?
00:48:09Why don't you
00:48:10do yourself a favor
00:48:11and go look in a mirror
00:48:12at the fraud that you are?
00:48:14It is called Mirror Media
00:48:15after all.
00:48:16Do you even hear yourself,
00:48:18Cassius?
00:48:19Miss Sterling gave up
00:48:20an exclusive interview
00:48:22with Mirror Media
00:48:22for you.
00:48:24And what?
00:48:25You're just going to
00:48:26stand here
00:48:26and run your mouth
00:48:27while Mirror Media
00:48:28is on the brink of collapse?
00:48:30He's a lost cause,
00:48:32Miss Sterling.
00:48:33Cut him loose.
00:48:34Maybe you can
00:48:35save your company.
00:48:36Mommy,
00:48:37you've got to
00:48:38trust Daddy.
00:48:39I believe in you,
00:48:41Daddy.
00:48:41You can do it.
00:48:43This poor little girl
00:48:45doesn't know shit.
00:48:46Your mommy
00:48:47and your daddy
00:48:48are dunzo, kid.
00:48:49She barely got Mirror Media
00:48:50into the top ten
00:48:51and she's still
00:48:52miles behind us.
00:48:54And now that we've
00:48:54joined forces,
00:48:55her little media enterprise
00:48:57dead in the water.
00:48:59If that clown
00:49:00really thinks
00:49:01they're going to
00:49:01put Mirror Media
00:49:02above us,
00:49:04that's next level
00:49:05delusion.
00:49:06And what if I told you
00:49:08that I could land
00:49:09Mirror Media
00:49:10an interview
00:49:10with Mr. S
00:49:11and
00:49:12an exclusive
00:49:15long-term
00:49:15partnership
00:49:16with Enrose Group?
00:49:19An exclusive
00:49:20long-term
00:49:21partnership
00:49:21with Enrose Group?
00:49:23If that happens,
00:49:24Mirror Media
00:49:25really would
00:49:25shoot to number one.
00:49:27But that's impossible.
00:49:28Mirror Media
00:49:29is nothing.
00:49:30Barely a blip
00:49:30on Enrose Group's
00:49:31radar,
00:49:32let alone
00:49:32the legendary
00:49:33Mr. S.
00:49:38Wow!
00:49:39It looks like
00:49:40even losers
00:49:40who've been in prison
00:49:41for six years
00:49:42have heard of
00:49:43the brilliant
00:49:43Mr. S
00:49:44and his Enrose Group.
00:49:45But you still
00:49:46don't know
00:49:46what you're talking about.
00:49:47You see,
00:49:48he is the man
00:49:49behind the president,
00:49:50the undisputed
00:49:51king of finance.
00:49:52How could someone
00:49:52like you
00:49:53possibly have
00:49:54a deal
00:49:55locked in with him?
00:49:57For Mirror
00:49:58fucking Media?
00:49:59What a joke.
00:50:00Enrose Group
00:50:01is the crown jewel
00:50:02in global finance.
00:50:03We can't even
00:50:03get our foot in the door.
00:50:05Mirror Media,
00:50:06forget about it.
00:50:07Shit,
00:50:08and the Norton family
00:50:08had to pull
00:50:09every string we had
00:50:10just to get a seat
00:50:11at the negotiation table
00:50:12with Enrose Group.
00:50:13I still didn't get a glimpse
00:50:15of Mr. S's face.
00:50:17You know what?
00:50:18No, no.
00:50:19How does a nobody
00:50:20like you
00:50:20fresh out of prison
00:50:21possibly have an in
00:50:22with Enrose Group?
00:50:24Cassius,
00:50:24I know you're just
00:50:25trying to help
00:50:26and I'm so grateful,
00:50:28but this is out
00:50:29of your hands.
00:50:30And none of this
00:50:31is your fault,
00:50:32but I have to do
00:50:34what's best for Mirror Media.
00:50:36Even if that means...
00:50:38Hey.
00:50:39Trust me.
00:50:41I can handle this.
00:50:43Daddy,
00:50:44can you really
00:50:44save Mommy?
00:50:46Of course.
00:50:48And I would never
00:50:49lie to Mommy
00:50:49or you.
00:50:55Warren,
00:50:57I need you to draw up
00:50:58an exclusive
00:50:58long-term partnership
00:50:59between Mirror Media
00:51:00and Enrose Group.
00:51:01I need you to come
00:51:02to the gala immediately
00:51:03and hand deliver it
00:51:05to Freya Sterling.
00:51:06You've got 10 minutes.
00:51:10You've got 10 minutes.
00:51:12Yes, sir.
00:51:12Absolutely, sir.
00:51:15Let's get this contract
00:51:16between Enrose
00:51:17and Mirror Media
00:51:17ready now.
00:51:18And we'll personally
00:51:19deliver it to Mr. S.
00:51:21Yes, sir!
00:51:23This makes no sense.
00:51:25It shouldn't be possible
00:51:26and yet,
00:51:27somehow,
00:51:27I believe him.
00:51:29Cassius, please.
00:51:31Freya couldn't even
00:51:32get herself out of this mess.
00:51:34As if a poverty-stricken
00:51:35loser like you
00:51:36with zero pull
00:51:38could get Warren Franco
00:51:39to come here in minutes,
00:51:41that was clearly
00:51:42a fake call.
00:51:43You don't think
00:51:44we're going to call you
00:51:44on your bluff?
00:51:45Come on, man.
00:51:46What are you playing at?
00:51:47A fake call?
00:51:48That is the dumbest
00:51:49move in the book.
00:51:51And all to protect
00:51:52his fragile ego.
00:51:53Typical low-class scum.
00:51:55I've seen my share
00:51:56of con men in my day,
00:51:58but this guy
00:51:58tastes the cake.
00:51:59Bushlake,
00:52:00just Bushlake.
00:52:03He crushed that
00:52:04smear campaign
00:52:04against me
00:52:05in under half an hour.
00:52:06He even said
00:52:07he'd make the whole
00:52:07Norton family pay.
00:52:09If he really is
00:52:10connected to Enrose group,
00:52:11then maybe it's not all talk.
00:52:13Okay, okay.
00:52:16If everyone could just
00:52:17calm down for ten minutes,
00:52:18I assure you,
00:52:19Secretary Warren
00:52:20will be arriving
00:52:21with a signed contract.
00:52:23And when he does,
00:52:24you'll all learn
00:52:25exactly who I am.
00:52:27Dude, cut the bullshit.
00:52:31And Freya,
00:52:31you've got to stop
00:52:32indulging this guy
00:52:32or you're going to be
00:52:33in trouble with Mr. S himself.
00:52:34And if that happens,
00:52:36then it's not just you
00:52:37who's going to suffer.
00:52:38The entire Sterling family
00:52:39is going to go down
00:52:41with you.
00:52:42If she crosses Mr. S,
00:52:43it might not even be
00:52:44about Mirror Media
00:52:45disappearing.
00:52:46Hell, Freya
00:52:47could disappear herself.
00:52:49You know what?
00:52:51Ten minutes, you said?
00:52:52Fine.
00:52:53I'll wait.
00:52:54But if your secretary
00:52:54doesn't show?
00:52:56You're dead fucking neat.
00:52:57Oh, would you look at that?
00:53:12Time is up.
00:53:14Ten minutes on the dot.
00:53:16Oh, I hate to break it
00:53:16to you, sweetheart,
00:53:17but it looks like
00:53:18your secretary
00:53:19is a no-show.
00:53:21So, how about you
00:53:22be a good girl
00:53:23and do as you're told?
00:53:25You're a meeting.
00:53:26Keep bullying my mommy
00:53:27and my daddy's
00:53:28going to make you pay.
00:53:29Well, you just shut it,
00:53:30you little bastard.
00:53:31Nobody asked you
00:53:32for your stupid opinion.
00:53:34I'm not a bastard.
00:53:35I have a daddy.
00:53:37You're a bastard!
00:53:38Oh, buddy.
00:53:51Ignoring my warnings
00:53:52is one thing,
00:53:53but trying to hit a kid?
00:53:56Time for the Norton family
00:53:57to be wiped off the map.
00:53:59You just hit me.
00:54:01You just fucking hit me.
00:54:03Security!
00:54:03Get him
00:54:05and make him fucking bleed.
00:54:07Enros Group Secretary
00:54:08Warren Franco has arrived.
00:54:17Good evening.
00:54:19Ladies and gentlemen,
00:54:20I'd like to announce
00:54:21effective immediately
00:54:22the Enros Group
00:54:24entering into an exclusive
00:54:25partnership
00:54:26with Mirror Media.
00:54:33Cassius,
00:54:34who are you?
00:54:37Who are you?
00:54:43Daddy,
00:54:44you're the coolest.
00:54:49I'm sorry,
00:54:50what the hell is happening
00:54:51right now?
00:54:51Why on earth
00:54:52would Enros Group
00:54:53partner with Mirror Media?
00:54:56Mr. Norton,
00:54:56if I'm not mistaken,
00:54:57didn't you previously
00:54:58submit a Mirror Media
00:54:59partnership proposal
00:55:00with Enros Group
00:55:01on behalf of your family?
00:55:03Could it be that
00:55:03this is all
00:55:04you're doing?
00:55:05That's right,
00:55:06thank you.
00:55:06Cassius,
00:55:07you sneaky bastard.
00:55:09And you almost
00:55:10got away with it too.
00:55:11Mr. Franco,
00:55:12it is an honor
00:55:13to finally hear from you.
00:55:15I tell you what,
00:55:15I have been looking forward
00:55:17to this,
00:55:17and I'm so kind of you
00:55:18to bring the proposal
00:55:20with you.
00:55:20And you are?
00:55:26And you are?
00:55:31Sir,
00:55:31we have definitely
00:55:32met before.
00:55:33You don't remember me?
00:55:34I'm Preston Norton.
00:55:36I'm heir
00:55:37to the Norton family.
00:55:38Do you remember
00:55:39that charity event
00:55:40we went to
00:55:40a few weeks back?
00:55:41We had drinks,
00:55:41and that's when
00:55:42I sold you
00:55:44the proposal
00:55:44on partnering
00:55:45with Mirror Media.
00:55:47Sounds vaguely familiar.
00:55:49Hear that?
00:55:51Only powerful heirs
00:55:52like Preston
00:55:53can rub elbows
00:55:53with important men
00:55:54like Mr. Franco.
00:55:55You're stupid
00:55:56to think you could
00:55:57ever climb that high.
00:55:58Don't you get it now,
00:56:00Fran?
00:56:00I'm the only one
00:56:01who can make
00:56:02this deal for you,
00:56:03and I'm the only one
00:56:04worthy
00:56:05of being
00:56:06your husband.
00:56:07Don't flatter yourself,
00:56:09Mr. Norton.
00:56:10This partnership
00:56:10with Mirror Media
00:56:11has nothing to do
00:56:12with you
00:56:12and your family.
00:56:16Mr. Franco,
00:56:17are you sure?
00:56:19Yeah,
00:56:20if it wasn't
00:56:20Preston who convinced
00:56:21the Enros group
00:56:22to sign with Mirror Media,
00:56:23then who was it?
00:56:25Mr. Adams
00:56:25gets all the credit.
00:56:28He put this deal
00:56:29with Mirror Media
00:56:30together.
00:56:32Really, Cassius?
00:56:34Who are you?
00:56:35All the credit
00:56:37goes to Mr. Adams.
00:56:39He is a convict
00:56:41and a thief.
00:56:42Mr. Franco,
00:56:42why on earth
00:56:43are you treating him
00:56:43like he's some big shot?
00:56:45Wouldn't you like
00:56:46to know you dipshit?
00:56:48You slump bitch,
00:56:49who the hell are you?
00:56:50How is the attorney general
00:56:51of Enros group
00:56:52defending you?
00:56:53Shut your fucking mouth!
00:56:55Mr. Norton!
00:57:05He paid you off,
00:57:06didn't he?
00:57:07Didn't he?
00:57:08Mr. Franco,
00:57:09what is Mr. S
00:57:11going to say
00:57:12when he finds out
00:57:12that you were bribed
00:57:13by this fucking con man?
00:57:15What the hell
00:57:16are you talking about?
00:57:17Mr. Adams is...
00:57:19Who I am
00:57:20does not matter.
00:57:21All you need to know
00:57:23is that
00:57:23this high and mighty
00:57:24Norton family
00:57:25you keep bragging about
00:57:26is about to vanish
00:57:27overnight.
00:57:30Cassius,
00:57:30you really went nuts
00:57:31in prison,
00:57:32didn't you?
00:57:33Threatening the Nortons?
00:57:35If you didn't have a man
00:57:37like Mr. Franco
00:57:38in your act,
00:57:39Preston here
00:57:39would crush you
00:57:40like the cockroach you are.
00:57:42Mr. Norton,
00:57:43I suggest you
00:57:44check your phone
00:57:44in about three minutes.
00:57:46We've got some
00:57:47very bad news
00:57:48coming your way.
00:57:49What a fucking joke.
00:57:51Mr. Franco,
00:57:52the only person
00:57:53I could ever challenge
00:57:55the Norton family
00:57:56is Mr. S
00:57:56and a secretary like you
00:57:59can't do shit.
00:58:01Cassius,
00:58:01once your sugar mama
00:58:02drops you finally
00:58:04and people stop
00:58:05taking your bribes,
00:58:07you'll be nothing
00:58:08but a broke lowlife.
00:58:09And that's when
00:58:10Preston will end you.
00:58:16Hey, Dad.
00:58:19Who the hell
00:58:20did you cross,
00:58:21you sniveling little fool?
00:58:23You fucked this whole family.
00:58:25Us Nortons
00:58:25were power players
00:58:26for centuries,
00:58:27but that's all over now
00:58:28thanks to you.
00:58:29You have destroyed,
00:58:30and I mean destroyed,
00:58:32the Norton legacy.
00:58:34Dad, hold on.
00:58:34What are you saying
00:58:35to me right now?
00:58:35The National Bank
00:58:36froze all of our assets
00:58:38and all of our top clients
00:58:39backed out of their contracts?
00:58:41How is this happening?
00:58:42How is this even happening?
00:58:46Oh, get your ass home.
00:58:47Now.
00:58:50Don't fight it, Preston.
00:58:52This is what happens
00:58:53when you mess with my family.
00:58:55Cassius,
00:58:55you think this is over?
00:58:57I am going to fix this,
00:58:58and when I do,
00:58:59I am coming for you.
00:59:01And Freya,
00:59:02when this scumbag
00:59:03is out of the picture,
00:59:04you'll be on your knees
00:59:06begging to marry me.
00:59:07Hey.
00:59:12As long as I'm around,
00:59:14no one is ever
00:59:15going to bother you
00:59:16or our daughter again.
00:59:19My daddy's the bestest.
00:59:21Isabella,
00:59:22Mr. Norton just
00:59:23bailed on us.
00:59:24What did we do?
00:59:26Miss Sterling!
00:59:28Please,
00:59:29I made a huge mistake.
00:59:30Please,
00:59:30you have to let me back
00:59:31into mere media.
00:59:33Please.
00:59:33I'm sorry.
00:59:34That decision
00:59:35isn't up to me.
00:59:36You'll have to ask
00:59:37my husband.
00:59:39Cassius!
00:59:40No, no.
00:59:41Mr. Adams,
00:59:41please.
00:59:42Please,
00:59:43I've been so blind.
00:59:47Think of all
00:59:48the years
00:59:49that we've spent together.
00:59:50All the memories
00:59:51that we've shared.
00:59:53I mean,
00:59:54give me another chance,
00:59:55please.
00:59:56Talk to Miss Sterling
00:59:57for me.
00:59:57Give me another chance.
00:59:59Give me another chance.
01:00:01So now you want
01:00:02to talk about
01:00:03our time together.
01:00:04How convenient.
01:00:06Where was all this
01:00:07happy memories talk
01:00:08earlier today
01:00:09when you were dumping me?
01:00:10No.
01:00:11No, no, no.
01:00:11It wasn't like that.
01:00:12No, no.
01:00:12I left you
01:00:14to push you
01:00:16harder,
01:00:17to see if prison
01:00:19would make you
01:00:19into a better man.
01:00:21But really,
01:00:21I still love you.
01:00:24Fuck off, Isabella.
01:00:25I told you
01:00:26you would feel regret.
01:00:27Now you're just
01:00:28paying the price.
01:00:30But, but,
01:00:31but Mr. S
01:00:32knows me.
01:00:34And once he comes in,
01:00:35I can still get
01:00:36that exclusive.
01:00:37I can still be of use
01:00:39to you
01:00:39if you give me a chance.
01:00:42Goodbye, Isabella.
01:00:49Isabella.
01:00:52Miss Isabella Davis,
01:00:54let me make this
01:00:54perfectly clear.
01:00:55You will never,
01:00:56ever get an exclusive
01:00:57interview with Mr. S.
01:00:59In fact,
01:01:00you'll be hit with lawsuits
01:01:01and blacklisted
01:01:02from the entire
01:01:03news industry.
01:01:04Oh.
01:01:07We're finished.
01:01:09We're really done now.
01:01:10You utter moron.
01:01:13What the fuck did you do?
01:01:14Who the hell
01:01:15did you cross?
01:01:16Just listen to me.
01:01:17It was that con man,
01:01:18Cassius,
01:01:19he emptied his entire wallet
01:01:20to bribe the Enrose
01:01:21secretary to do his bidding.
01:01:22We have to fight back.
01:01:23Oh.
01:01:31The only card
01:01:32we have to up to play
01:01:33is securing
01:01:34the marriage alliance
01:01:35with the Sterlings.
01:01:36Sterling's port
01:01:36exemption permit
01:01:37is coming due.
01:01:38That's why they want
01:01:39to get married
01:01:39into our family.
01:01:41They need another
01:01:4110-year extension.
01:01:43If we take a permit
01:01:44in front of them,
01:01:44Freya's father
01:01:45will hand her over to you
01:01:46without a second thought.
01:01:49Dad,
01:01:49we won't have the permit
01:01:50if the president
01:01:51doesn't sign off on it.
01:01:53And what about
01:01:53that scumbag Cassius?
01:01:55Cassius, please.
01:01:57He's a con artist
01:01:57with dirty money.
01:01:58I can't pull those strings
01:01:59on that secretary forever.
01:02:01As for the extension,
01:02:02your brother Cedric
01:02:03created a fake permit.
01:02:05Even the White House
01:02:06wouldn't tell the difference.
01:02:07Tell the Sterlings
01:02:11once they agree
01:02:11to the marriage,
01:02:12your brother
01:02:12will secure
01:02:14the president's signature.
01:02:15And once you and Freya
01:02:16tie the knot,
01:02:17who the fuck cares
01:02:18if it's a fake?
01:02:19Dad, this could work.
01:02:21I mean,
01:02:22this could actually
01:02:23work.
01:02:24And this time,
01:02:25Freya,
01:02:25there's no escaping me.
01:02:27Hey, Elsa,
01:02:38I'm thinking that
01:02:38maybe you should ask
01:02:40your mom
01:02:40to tuck you in tonight.
01:02:42No.
01:02:43Please, Daddy.
01:02:45Pretty please.
01:02:46Just wait here, okay?
01:02:47I'm gonna grab
01:02:48my favorite teddy bear.
01:02:54Okay.
01:02:54Okay.
01:02:54Elsa, open the door.
01:03:06Sweetie,
01:03:07can you grab
01:03:08my bathrobe?
01:03:18Cassie.
01:03:21Cassie.
01:03:21I'm sorry.
01:03:22I...
01:03:22Look,
01:03:29Freya,
01:03:29I'm so sorry,
01:03:31okay?
01:03:32I wasn't trying
01:03:33to invade your privacy,
01:03:34okay?
01:03:34I just...
01:03:36I'm not trying
01:03:37to get back
01:03:38to the guest room.
01:03:40I...
01:03:41Cassius.
01:03:44I'm not mad at you.
01:03:47You can look at me.
01:03:48Are you dressed?
01:03:54What's wrong?
01:03:55You can face
01:03:56a room full of vicious men,
01:03:57but you can't face
01:03:58a naked woman.
01:04:08Like what you see?
01:04:09I'm not some random woman,
01:04:11Cassius.
01:04:15I'm your wife.
01:04:20Take me.
01:04:24I was wondering what you said,
01:04:34I don't력.
01:04:35I don't know
01:04:36if you wanted to breathe.
01:04:37I will ask you
01:04:38to do the Poetry
01:04:39to the Best
01:04:40grue for me.
01:04:41I rule thirst,
