00:00So the third match is a gift and shines us all.
00:02Mr. Waldorf's assessment matches Ethan's exactly.
00:08Not only are you a medical expert, Ethan, but an anti-connoisseur, too.
00:14Ethan, I misjudged you.
00:17Your skill set is something I have never seen.
00:21I told you I had good taste.
00:27So Ethan's evaluation matched mine.
00:30That's remarkable insight for someone so young.
00:32There was nothing, truly.
00:35Since you're so talented, let me test your skills further.
00:39Ethan, come over here.
00:46This is a Greek red vase that I've just acquired recently.
00:51I've been in this business for decades.
00:54The shape looks right, the texture, the color.
00:57But something just seems off.
01:05A forgery by the renaissance master counterfeiter of Rasmus.
01:09I see nothing wrong, externally.
01:12Perhaps he's not as skilled as I thought.
01:14If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?
01:18$30 million.
01:21I'm sorry, sir.
01:23I'm afraid you've wasted your money.
01:25Thanks, sir.
01:26So you think it's a fake?
01:27You see, the flaws don't lie on the outside.
01:30It's a thing.
01:34Floor's too clean.
01:36Don't do that, Ethan.
01:38Unless you're absolutely certain, you better not show!
01:43Now!
01:46Show!
01:48Now!
01:50Have you lost your mind?
01:52Our whole liquidity of our company isn't even worth $30 million, you dumbass!
01:57Mr. Waldorf, Ethan is acting alone, so if you want to press charges against him, we fully support him.
02:05You're all pathetic and spineless.
02:09I'm sure Ethan has a good reason for breaking the base, right?
02:13It's clear as day.
02:22Fabrica Parasens.
02:26It's unfortunate.
02:29Congratulations, old friend.
02:31With this remarkable new son-in-law, the Shahs will surely rise, perhaps even becoming one of LA's wealthiest families.
02:38His eye is unlike anything I've ever witnessed.
02:41From this day, Mike is disowned, and Vanessa shall lead our family as heir and CEO of Shah Group.
02:54Thank fucking God!
03:03Ethan, the gifts earlier that were for the Shahs, this is for you.
03:08It's a villa in Sunshine Hills.
03:11It's a token of our appreciation.
03:13Please enjoy it.
03:15No, sir.
03:16Sunshine Hills is like a $5 million property.
03:20Sir, thank you.
03:23But I can't accept this.
03:25Are you suggesting that my grandson isn't worth one villa?
03:30You insist.
03:33And your appraisal skills are unmatched.
03:35I'm sure I'll be using your expertise here shortly.
03:39Give me a call.
03:45Ethan, the hospital just called.
03:47Your mother woke up.
03:51It's amazing.
04:02Yes, yes, I'll be right there.
04:04Okay.
04:06Ethan, I'm sorry.
04:07I can't come.
04:08There's something I have to do without the lab.
04:10You're fine.
04:11I'll take care of things here.
04:13Okay.
04:21Mr. Cole, your mother's condition is stabilized.
04:25With proper medication, she could be discharged.
04:28Though I do recommend a month's observation.
04:31Whatever you say, Doc.
04:33Baby, let's go home.
04:35This place is too expensive.
04:37Well, don't worry about the cost, okay?
04:40It's covered.
04:41Indeed.
04:42Mr. Cole has connections with our CEO, Ms. Shaw.
04:47I don't want you to be indebted to anyone, and I can't really sleep well here.
04:53Okay.
04:54If you insist, I'll take you to our new home.
04:58New home?
05:00With what money?
05:01I mean, you barely have a job.
05:04You better not be doing something illegal.
05:07Relax, Mom.
05:08I promise you everything's legitimate, okay?
05:10I'll explain on the way.
05:12But all my things are at the old place.
05:14I'll buy you new things.
05:17A lot has changed since I was in a coma, I guess.
05:21More than you could ever imagine.
05:24Rest.
05:24I'll pack up your things.
05:26Thank you, honey.
05:27I love you.
05:28Love you, Mom.
05:29Thanks, Doc.
05:36Hey, hubby.
05:38Amber, get the hell away from me.
05:40We're through.
05:41Hey, drop the act.
05:42We know Vanessa's using you as a beard just so she could take power.
05:47She's using you.
05:48Someone like her would not be into someone like you.
05:53You look like a lost dog.
05:54Did she kick you out already?
05:56We won't take up too much of her time, but...
05:59We did want to invite you to our wedding.
06:03You really enjoy my seconds, don't you, Lance?
06:06Yeah, and you're my forgettable first.
06:08What Lance and I have is real love.
06:13You should make an appearance.
06:15Bring Miss Shaw.
06:16It'll be unforgettable.
06:19Don't you worry.
06:20I'll be there.
06:22And I promise you, it'll be a night you'll never forget.
06:34Oh my goodness, I...
06:36Wow, I...
06:43Well, yeah, that's pretty much everything that's happened.
06:46It's been a whirlwind, but I promise every dollar's clean.
06:50I don't know what to say.
06:55It's your son's name right there.
06:56It sure is.
06:58I am so proud of my boy.
07:00I didn't really like Amber anyway.
07:04Um, kind of slutty if you ask me.
07:08Yeah.
07:09What about a new daughter-in-law?
07:12A daughter-in-law.
07:14That'll happen when it happens, okay?
07:16I just want you to be happy, darling.
07:19I will be.
07:26Hello?
07:27Ethan, I'm heading to an auction with some high-stakes pieces I'm not confident about.
07:32I'd value your eye if you're available.
07:34Okay.
07:35I'll head that way now.
07:38Alright, I'll be back.
07:40Oh, yeah.
07:40I gotta go make some money for us, alright?
07:43I'll see you later.
07:44Enjoy it.
07:44Watch the TV.
07:45It's huge, alright?
07:46I love you.
07:47Love you, Mom.
07:573,300,000.
07:593,301,000.
08:04Must you always overbid me by 1,000?
08:07Really, Joseph?
08:08It's allowed.
08:09Change of rules if you can.
08:11Otherwise, keep up or shut up.
08:163,301,000.
08:18Going once.
08:21Twice.
08:25Sold to Mr. Quinn for the Persian Shamshir.
08:28Not so powerful now, are you, Mr. Chairman of the Antique Association?
08:36Joseph is still upset that Dad beat him in the Antique Association election.
08:40He's been out for us ever since.
08:42So, this is the headline items I wanted you to see.
08:45Rumor has it that one of these contain a flawless 24 carat.
08:51But I can't risk guessing and get it wrong, because Joseph will jack the price way up.
08:56Leave it to me, Charles.
09:00Claiming I can evaluate from here would make me sound like a phony.
09:03I'll need the right moment.
09:07Our final lots.
09:09Three premium uncut diamonds from Botswana.
09:12The delegates may now approach for inspection.
09:15That's the inclusion life.
09:20Charles, is that your expert?
09:22Is he even old enough to drink alcohol?
09:25Dad, are you sure about this?
09:27Sure, his medical skills are impressive.
09:30But gem appraisal?
09:31There's a lot of money on the line here.
09:33Trust me.
09:34He's the most skilled evaluator I've ever seen.
09:37If he wasn't already part of the Shaw family, I'd be having you try to get to know him.
10:00Lot one and two have moderate value.
10:02Lot three, that's the prize.
10:07Go for that one.
10:08Understood.
10:09But if we show our hand, Joseph's going to raise the price.
10:14I got an idea.
10:22Lot one, uncut diamond.
10:25Window section reveals potential imperial markings.
10:28Opening bid, one million.
10:30Minimum raise, 100,000.
10:331.1 million.
10:351.1 million.
10:361.2 million.
10:371.3 million.
10:391.4 million.
10:422 million.
10:43Charles is determined.
10:45If he wants it this badly, it must be the real one.
10:502.1 million.
10:51Must you always interfere?
10:543 million.
10:563.1 million.
10:58What's the matter, Charles?
11:00Tapped out already?
11:0319 million.
11:0620 million.
11:08Let that be an end to it.
11:10Don't think I don't know your family's wealth, Charles.
11:13I know 19 million is your ceiling.
11:1720 million going once.
11:1920 million going twice.
11:23Are you bidding, sir?
11:25No.
11:26Sorry, just stretching.
11:2720 million third.
11:31Sold to Mr. Joseph Quinn.
11:33Goddamn Joseph.
11:35Looks like Dualtech is going to take number one spot.
11:39Now that we've acquired that.
11:42Once Joseph has that stone car, it'll be priceless.
11:46We have to secure the second lot now if we even have a chance of competing.
11:50with Joseph's company.
11:52Lot 2.
11:53Uncut diamond with ice-grade clarity.
11:56Opening bid, 1 million.
11:57Minimum raise, 100,000.
12:0015 million.
12:02Friends, I would consider it a courtesy if you allow me to acquire this piece.
12:08And I will always remember your courtesy.
12:12You're out of your league, Charles.
12:1320 million.
12:16Match that if you can.
12:17This isn't over, Joseph.
12:2120 million once.
12:23Twice.
12:26Sold.
12:27Again.
12:28To Mr. Quinn.
12:29Charles Waldorf.
12:31Poor fool.
12:32Never stood a chance.
12:34Lot 3.
12:35Linear ice-grade veining.
12:37Opening bid, 500,000.
12:39Minimum raise, 30,000.
12:41We're leaving empty-handed.
12:43Our store's inventory's gonna be empty.
12:46It's alright.
12:47Even a modest piece is better than nothing.
12:50600,000.
12:52650,000.
12:54700,000.
12:55That stone is worthless.
12:58I inspected it myself.
13:01The vein is fractured and discontinuous.
13:05A flawed stone?
13:07Glad I didn't bend.
13:09Joseph knows diamonds better than anyone.
13:11No point buying a plot, Julius.
13:15700,000 going once, twice, sold to Miss Lydia.
13:22That's okay.
13:23You played yourself, Joseph.
13:25That stone is worthless, I tell you.
13:28Thanks to your assistance and idiocy, we acquired what we wanted.
13:36Thanks to your assistance and idiocy, we acquired what we wanted.
13:42That is scrap metal.
13:44You know, you'd be better off buying a piece of jewelry at a carnival.
13:49Since you auctioned the stones, I'm assuming that you facilitate cutting too?
13:53We do, sir.
13:54I can do that for you now if you prefer.
13:56Yeah, please do.
14:00Oh my god, it's so large.
14:02That clearly? It has to be ice grey, at least.
14:05Congratulations, Charles. What a find.
14:08I saw him whispering behind his ear before the bidding.
14:13I think he must be the strategist.
14:16Charles, would you consider selling it?
14:18We're prepared to offer you 100 million to repurchase it.
14:22No, no, no. No, no. Don't make a fuss.
14:25If that rubbish stone yielded that diamond,
14:29mine's got to be worth a lot more.
14:32Cut mine open.
14:36Mr. Quinn, regarding your two stones,
14:39the yield, shall we say.
14:42Well, get to it. How much are they worth?
14:45Well, perhaps.
14:46As a courtesy, we could offer you 20,000.
14:5120,000?
14:53Maybe.
14:54I need a doctor.
14:57You guaranteed those stones would yield high-grade diamonds.
15:02The 40 million we spent was our entire operational capital.
15:07The board will hold you responsible.
15:09We'll see you removed by tomorrow.
15:13You'll repay every cent, even if it bankrupts you personally.
15:20Well, Joseph, I'm guessing you'd admit that I do know how to evaluate stones now.
15:24Sir, what would it take to bring you on board as our lead authenticator?
15:30Me and your price.
15:3210 million a year?
15:34Not interested.
15:35Thanks.
15:41You did it.
15:43Hey, the look on Joseph's face when he realized he was on a fucking sinking ship.
15:48I would have paid extra for that shit.
15:50Oh, my God.
15:52You know, there's somebody I want to introduce you to.
15:55Thanks, but I'm really not looking to work for...
15:57Just trust me.
15:58His name's Maximus Tyson.
16:00He's the true power in L.A.
16:02He's the head of the Pacific Syndicate.
16:04One word out of his mouth, and the city just shifts.
16:07You meet him, and you never have to fear anyone again.
16:11He's a good person to have in your back pocket.
16:13Trust me.
16:18Mr. Tyson, this is Ethan Cole, the young man that saved my grandson.
16:24You're the famous Ethan I've been hearing about.
16:27Well, if you need anything in the city, anything at all, just give me a call.
16:33Father, you should be resting.
16:36The doctor said you should be in bed at six.
16:39Quiet, Yuri.
16:40I am never too sick to discuss business.
16:43Well, Mr. Tyson, sir, with all due respect, you really should prioritize your health above
16:49everything else right now.
16:51Careful what you say.
16:53Your next word may be your last.
16:54If you kill me, you kill the only man who can help your father.
16:58Is that a threat?
17:00Explain yourself right now.
17:02Ethan, this isn't part of the plan.
17:05Mr. Tyson, you've been experiencing progressive fatigue and unexplained loss of consciousness.
17:10Am I wrong?
17:11How could you know that?
17:13He could be a spy.
17:14He could know about your fatigue with surveillance.
17:16Well, outside of this room, who else knows about the paralysis?
17:21Only Yuri and I.
17:25Not even the syndicate leadership knows.
17:29Ethan.
17:30Ethan, can you really help me?
17:35Strange.
17:36His readings show perfect health now.
17:48In seconds, Maximus lost a year, and the locket gained one.
17:52It's draining his life.
17:54Well, are you just going to stand there?
17:56Or are you going to help my father?
17:59It's your locket.
18:16How dare you!
18:18That was a medieval heirloom from Uncle Roland.
18:21Why?
18:21It was irreplaceable!
18:23Why?
18:24Father.
18:30It's like I stepped into the warmth of the sun.
18:33Your legs, they're working.
18:36My God, after all these years, I didn't think this was possible.
18:42Ethan.
18:43Ethan, you've given me back my life.
18:47I'm indebted to you forever.
18:49Mr. Tyson, you really should sit.
18:50You shouldn't stress yourself out right now.
18:53How could the locket have caused all this?
18:56It was a soul snatcher.
18:58An ancient artifact, draining his life force.
19:01That's why his condition seemed untraceable.
19:04And Uncle Roland gave it to you.
19:08Someone was going impatient in my position.
19:12Oh, it is time for a reorganization of the Pacific Syndicate.
19:19Well, you've diagnosed my father so easily.
19:23How about me?
19:25I believe you've been all over the place.
19:28You've been irritable lately.
19:30Night sweats, mood swings.
19:32How did you know?
19:34I thought it was going to be all because of my boxing training.
19:39Maybe you need a boyfriend.
19:44How do you know I don't already have a boyfriend?
19:47Come on, quiet, child.
19:48You're getting on my damn nerves.
19:51You see what I mean?
19:52Mr. Tyson, there is one favor I would like to ask you for.
19:56Talk to me.
19:58Anything.
19:59I want to see the Cromwell group destroyed within three days.
20:02Go to the Cromwell.
20:02Come to the Cromwell group,
20:02What's allowed me to do?
20:02I want you to go.
20:02Go to the Cromwell means've got enough us.
20:02You know, because of all times,
