05:12Daring to mess with the four pillars of power!
05:14You won't last a day in this town!
05:20You have absolutely no sense of awe or respect.
05:25You worthless piece of trash!
05:28This isn't over!
05:30You won't always have a guardian angel watching your back!
05:33We'll finish this another day.
05:35Move out.
05:44Thank you, I can't...
05:47I can't thank you enough, really.
05:51I know this isn't any of my business, but you have to report this.
05:54Tell your teacher.
05:55Tell your parents.
05:56Be serious about this.
05:58But I just...
06:02I just...
06:04Kid, listen up.
06:06Call your parents, especially right now.
06:09My phone.
06:12They broke it into pieces.
06:17You're welcome to use my phone, if that's okay with you.
06:23Where do you think she is?
06:32Emily was meant to be home by now.
06:41Dad...
06:43I have something to tell you.
06:45Some kid smashed my phone to pieces.
06:49Can you come pick me up?
06:51Okay, don't worry.
06:52I'll pick you up right away.
06:59My violin.
07:01I'll never be able to play again.
07:04My violin.
07:10You know what?
07:11I bet your dad is really proud of you.
07:16General.
07:17The banquet for the four pillars of power starts tonight.
07:21We don't have much time left to prepare.
07:25Hey, I really love your paintings.
07:28Can I keep one?
07:31My...
07:32My pleasure.
07:35I gotta go.
07:37Remember.
07:39Stay safe, okay?
07:42Find out who that girl is.
07:45And which student masterminded this bullying.
07:49Yes, sir.
07:50I will definitely handle this matter perfectly.
08:03Emily!
08:04What's wrong?
08:08What's wrong?
08:21Emily!
08:22Emily!
08:24Emily!
08:24Did somebody hurt you?
08:26What's going on?
08:31Whoa!
08:31Did you see that shot?
08:33Hustle!
08:34Go around and flank them!
08:37Are you kidding me?
08:38Total noob!
08:39Quit this game right now!
08:41It was them, wasn't it?
08:44They're the ones who hurt you.
08:53Mr. Emily, please don't act impulsively.
08:56Zane and Chloe's parents are already on their way.
08:58Let's wait for them to arrive before we talk this through, okay?
09:02Miss Bell, my daughter has been injured.
09:04Their backgrounds mean nothing to me.
09:06I need the truth at once!
09:09Let's talk outside.
09:15Emily.
09:16Emily, don't worry.
09:18I'll take care of it.
09:26Could you please clarify the exact meaning of this?
09:30Zane and Chloe are from two of the biggest power families in Eastern State.
09:35You probably know who they are.
09:37Their reach goes all over the state.
09:39They're total heavyweights.
09:40They're the ones who split the bill for this school, you know?
09:44I'm not saying you can't get justice for your kid.
09:47But if you mess with these families, she won't be allowed to stay in this school.
09:52So, so Miss Bell, this is the kind of thing you call handling it?
09:57I've made myself perfectly clear.
10:00The rest is up to you.
10:07We own this school.
10:10Understand, Tiny?
10:12Pay attention.
10:14When our folks show up, you better say you tripped and fell alone.
10:28Please, I don't want any trouble.
10:31I just can't take the boiling anymore.
10:34You want to keep attending this school?
10:37Think carefully.
10:39My mom runs the entire Chambers clan.
10:42All I gotta do is say the word, and you're out of this school for good.
10:50Oh, and that dude you're shacked up with?
10:52If he so much as shoots me a dirty look, he's getting blacklisted.
10:55He'll lose his job and his good name.
10:57Total wipeout.
10:58The only gig he'll land after this is picking through garbage behind dumpsters.
11:01And that's a big if.
11:03Because who'd even put up with looking at a guy like him?
11:05Or he could wind up dead from some accident at the construction yard.
11:09One little misstep, bam, you're an orphan.
11:12Kind of twisted fun, huh?
11:13With my family's clout, wiping him off the map is easier than breaking this pencil.
11:19Hell, you might just fish his corpse out of the Yara River if you're lucky.
11:23Please, I'll do anything you want.
11:26Just don't bring my dad into this.
11:30One little slip of the tongue will make you and your old man go through hell you've never even dreamed
11:37of.
11:42Welcome, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Chambers.
11:55Mommy.
11:57Oh, thank goodness you're finally here.
11:59This mean girl won't leave me alone.
12:01She's been bothering me nonstop.
12:04Nobody dares lay one finger on my daughter and you'll regret it.
12:11Mom, we didn't do a single thing.
12:13She's just making up lies because she's jealous of us.
12:16Her family can't even afford nice things.
12:21Anyone who dares to accuse my son will pay for it.
12:25Apologize now.
12:30You expect my daughter to say sorry?
12:38You expect my daughter to say sorry?
12:41You've got it all backwards.
12:42It's your brats who messed up.
12:44Watch your tone.
12:46You have no clue who you're addressing.
12:48This is the leader of one of Eastern State's four pillar families.
12:51And I am the head of the Barrett family.
12:55This name alone should have you on your knees.
12:58I don't care who you are.
13:00Bullying is a severe issue.
13:02And you and your children must be held accountable for your actions.
13:06This is ridiculous.
13:07Miss Bell, who the hell is this rude jerk?
13:10Is she suicidal?
13:12Daring to mess with us?
13:14Please don't take it to heart.
13:15Emily's dad?
13:16He's just a mover.
13:17No education.
13:18No status.
13:19He doesn't even have a wife.
13:20He has no idea who he's dealing with.
13:22Mr. Jack, you will apologize.
13:24Right now.
13:25So that's it, huh?
13:27I'm inferior so you people can do whatever the hell you want?
13:31You're damn right.
13:32Power is the law.
13:34So what if our kids did beat up your daughter?
13:37Big deal.
13:38You should know our world is just this cruel.
13:41Girls like yours.
13:42A kid from a movers family?
13:45She'd never survive if she didn't get on her knees and lick our boots.
13:51Fine.
13:52That says everything, doesn't?
13:53You two shield your rotten kids.
13:55Deny every single thing.
13:56Sneer at the truth.
13:57But you'll never wipe out the facts.
14:00Without power, the truth is worthless.
14:02Mr. Jack, watch your mouth before you talk.
14:05You don't stand a chance against us.
14:07Dad, just let it go.
14:09I'm fine.
14:10It's not worth arguing over.
14:15Look how sad she is.
14:17Justice will never yield.
14:19Wrongdoing cannot be tolerated.
14:22As long as I'm alive, I'll never allow this kind of thing to happen.
14:30Oh?
14:31Well then, let's let Emily speak for herself, huh?
14:34Let's get the truth straight from the horse's mouth.
14:37Emily, tell me exactly what happened.
14:41Look at me.
14:41Just tell the truth.
14:43I...
14:43I fell down by myself.
14:47It was just an accident, Dad.
14:53What the hell are you talking about?
15:02Sign this report card.
15:06Admit to your actions.
15:08Emily, stop!
15:10It was my fault.
15:12I envied them.
15:14I made up every single word.
15:17Emily, were you threatened by them?
15:25No, Daddy.
15:27If this is documented in her school file, not a single college is going to take her.
15:32Unlike you, my daughter can breeze into any prestigious university.
15:38Sign this paper immediately.
15:40No excuses.
15:41You tried to destroy her life.
15:44Now I'm calling the shots, and I'll shatter your world to bits.
15:49Take him out.
15:56No, please.
16:01Please.
16:03I'll sign.
16:04If you sign this, it'll destroy your future.
16:09Dad, I'm really okay.
16:13Let's get out of here.
16:14Says Hank here.
16:16Okay.
16:22I'm sorry.
16:25I let you down.
16:27It's fine, Dad.
16:28No college compares to you.
16:30I'll get through this.
16:51Governor, a call on your secure line.
16:55I said no calls.
16:57Not even the president himself.
17:00It's the secure line, sir.
17:02That phone has only one number on it.
17:12Sir, awaiting your order.
17:16Sustained your septus.
17:24This military-grade phone's been silent for 12 years.
17:30Unless it's him, John.
17:34Sir, it's truly you.
17:36I need your help with something important.
17:38No matter what you ask, I'll see it through.
17:42Even if I have to lay down my life.
17:44I need a complete list of anyone who's ever bullied, humiliated, or hurt my daughter, and
17:48it's on my desk in an hour.
17:50No exceptions.
17:52His daughter was a victim of bullying?
17:56If this matter isn't addressed properly, all of Eastern State is at risk of descending
18:04into chaos.
18:06Have the helicopter standing by.
18:08We're en route to Eastern State immediately.
18:21That girl.
18:23You told her to say that, didn't you?
18:26Mom, I really don't know what you're talking about.
18:30Drop the act.
18:32I know your true colors better than anyone.
18:35I usually ignore your little ploys, but not today.
18:38The Four Families Business Summit won't tolerate your foolish theatrics.
18:43All right, Mom.
18:44Today appears to be a celebration, but in reality, it's for one thing only.
18:48The arrival of Victor.
18:50With him on our side.
18:52All of North America will submit to the Four Families.
18:57But there's a catch.
18:58A man like Victor, one of the most powerful men in America, would not be swayed by ordinary
19:04favors.
19:05But he had a particular fondness for young, delicate girls.
19:11What do you think of Emily, the girl from today?
19:15I think she is wonderful.
19:19Absolutely beautiful.
19:20It has an almost ethereal beauty.
19:24That little bitch's gloomy, frail look is exactly the type that middle-aged men can't resist.
19:33Chambers, and the girls who were with Victor?
19:37Very few of them survived.
19:38A moving worker's daughter.
19:40Insignificant.
19:41If this helps our family rise to a higher level, then her death might have had some value.
19:46The business summit is about to begin.
19:49If we can't even handle something this small, then I've failed as the leader of this family.
19:54Leave the kidnapping to me and Zane.
19:57I will inform the other two family leaders.
20:01They are already on their way.
20:04Excellent.
20:05With this gift, Victor will be on our side.
20:09The Four Great Families will rule everything.
20:16That girl we assisted today, she has an indescribable familiarity about her.
20:22She's a little like Jake.
20:24And her father's also a moving man?
20:26That's such a weird coincidence.
20:30Could it be that?
20:37They bullied Jake's daughter as if she were garbage?
20:39I need the names of all those involved.
20:41Every bastard that harmed her.
20:43No one walks free.
20:53What have you uncovered?
20:55We found what we were looking for.
20:58What?
20:59You might want to steal yourself.
21:07At first, it was just insults and being shut out by the others.
21:11Those kids didn't stop humiliating her.
21:14They started hitting her.
21:15You got the nerve to fight back, bitch?
21:18We'll rough her up.
21:19Good.
21:22Yes!
21:39This is all on me.
21:41I made a promise to protect her, and I broke it.
21:51I ought to have realized that something was wrong from the very beginning.
21:55The clans behind those bullies?
21:58They wield immense power.
22:01Emily didn't want to get you tangled up in this mess.
22:03For all these years, I believed keeping a low profile and living incognito would keep her out of harm's way.
22:09Yet everything I did only forced her to confront the danger alone.
22:13Sir, rest easy.
22:15My office will spare no effort to see justice done.
22:17The chambers, the barretts, anyone who harms Emily, they will be utterly destroyed.
22:27If anyone has the nerve to lay a finger on my daughter, I'll make them pay dearly.
22:32A thousand times over.
22:35Nice fresh tomatoes?
22:37Dad's going to love these for his pasta.
22:40If college isn't an option anymore, cooking might be a great path.
22:45Life always finds a way.
23:13Life always finds a way.
23:18It's too late.
23:24Haul her into the car.
23:46Scarlet?
23:48How could you be?
23:49Your daughter, Emily, was bullied!
23:51And now she's kidnapped!
23:53And you're just standing here asking me why I'm here?
23:57Adducted.
24:02What are you even talking about?
24:04She was just grabbed off the street on her way home from the grocery store, dragged into a van by
24:09those kids who've been tormenting her for months.
24:11Where have they taken her?
24:14Where have they taken her? Tell me now!
24:15Our satellites are tracking them now. We'll have their exact position soon.
24:18I'm sorry, but I have to say at this supposed calm life you live, it's always been full of violence.
24:24You couldn't protect your daughter.
24:26It just was.
24:28An hour ago, she was ambushed outside school and humiliated like a stray dog.
24:31When I found her, she was covered in blood and shaking like a leafer.
24:35First thought wasn't her own pain.
24:36It was don't tell Dad, I don't want him to worry.
24:37Do you have the slightest clue what a living hell she's endured at that school?
24:41Wake up and open your eyes!
24:43Twelve years gone, and you're still trapped in the shadow Roger left you with!
24:49What intelligence is there?
24:53They took her to Chambers' manor of the site of the four families' private dinner party.
24:58Whatever they're planning, it's nothing good.
25:01Let's get the car.
25:02Remove it now.
25:04If anyone dares lay a finger on my daughter,
25:06the four families will be reduced to ash!
25:24It's so good to have you back.
25:30Welcome back, Commander.
25:34I am back!
25:37Trial begins.
26:02Madam Chambers, the gala's a success.
26:05But we still haven't found the right gift to impress Victor.
26:09Oh, I've got just the thing.
26:25Pretty, fragile young.
26:28Just Victor's type.
26:33It's well known that Victor has a particular fondness for young women.
26:37This gift is exactly what he likes.
26:40It's brilliant.
26:41This will turn our fortunes around.
26:44But will it anger Governor John of the State?
26:48John is stuck in the North.
26:50He won't be back any time soon.
26:52He's supposedly searching for a mysterious arms dealer.
26:57They call her Shadow Broker Tauter Sevending.
26:59Furthermore, we've also won over John's archenemy.
27:02The Corleone Mafia.
27:04Even our four great families have to bow down to them.
27:08With Mr. Corleone's support and Victor on our side,
27:12what can a powerless governor do?
27:14Unless the former commander comes back to life,
27:17no one in this country could shake us.
27:21Clo, teach this girl some manners.
27:25She'd better be ready to serve Victor when he arrives.
27:28Don't worry.
27:30I'll handle it.
27:49With such a clever gift,
27:51we are sure to win Victor's favor.
27:54Of course.
27:56Tonight, the dinner of the Four Pillars of Power
27:58officially begins, Kai's.
27:59Everyone present will share in our new glory.
28:02Hooray!
28:06Cheers!
28:24What the hell?
28:28Three minutes.
28:30Hand over my daughter.
28:33Otherwise, your celebration will turn into a funeral.
28:38Star.
28:46Star.
28:48Star.
28:48Star.
28:53Star.
28:54Star.
28:55Star.
28:56Star.
28:56Star.
28:58Star.
28:59Star.
29:01Star.
29:02Star.
29:02Star.
29:03You again, that damn mover.
29:05How dare you show your face here?!
29:08I'm zonly here for one thing, my daughter.
29:10You've got three minutes.
29:13Starting now.
29:15You've got balls, lady.
29:17We control this entire state.
29:18Cross.
29:19You disappear.
29:20Let's take her out quietly.
29:23Next! Here's your rifle!
29:25Sink the body in the river. Leave no trace.
29:30Listen, mover! Nobody knows who your damn daughter is!
29:35Walk away. Or don't. Either way, you're finished.
29:41So that's how you want to play it. Fine by me.
29:50It's not a perfect example.
29:55It's not a perfect example.
30:00It's not a good example.
30:01Let's try it again.
30:05Ready?
30:07Do it.
30:09Let the flame analyze.
30:11Let the flame analyze.
