00:00The Shas don't treat hopeless cases. Failure hurts our reputation.
00:05Goodbye.
00:13Are you a Shah? Please help my son.
00:28There's water in his lungs.
00:29What? How do you know that? Are you medically trained?
00:32No, I'm not a doctor, so you can still refuse my help.
00:36Has he been around water recently?
00:39Yes. He passed out after his bath. I turned my back for a second. I'm a bad mother.
00:45You're not a bad mother, right?
00:48You must have just accidentally swallowed some water. That's it.
00:52Oh my god, he's turning blue. Please help him.
01:02Oh my god, he's breathing again.
01:05He still needs care though, right? Just take him to the hospital right now.
01:08Thank you. You're a saint.
01:11I'm Lydia Waldorf. My family will reward you handsomely. What's your name?
01:15Methane cold. But no reward needed, alright? Just get him to the hospital.

17:49for an apology
17:53what are these?
17:58this was Mike's gift
18:00worn by Louis XIV himself
18:03powered by antique mechanics
18:10if Waldorf praise
18:15this piece
18:16and speaks well of us to father
18:18the first branch
18:20might still recover
18:21this is clearly a replica
18:23smooth movement
18:24odd mechanics
18:26probably worth a thousand dollars
18:28but it came directly from Versailles
18:31are you questioning my expertise?
18:33you clearly don't have an eye
18:34for luxury goods
18:37what is this monstrosity
18:39that is posing as appeal
18:41that was obviously painted
18:43by some street artist?
18:44Mr. Shah
18:45forgive my bluntness
18:47but it appears that
18:48either your offspring
18:49is deceiving you
18:50with cheap goods
18:51or they lack refinement
18:54Peter
18:54first your son steals credit
18:57and you gift me
18:59forgeries
19:00you're a disgrace
19:01and no longer part of this family
19:04but father
19:05what is this?
19:17this Byzantine emerald
19:19is a real beauty
19:21probably worth several hundred thousand
19:28how is that there?
19:32why this piece of junk?
19:35junk?
19:36let me see this
19:40this isn't junk
19:42this is Napoleon's personal snuff box
19:44it's a peace offering
19:46from the Prussian king
19:48look at the turtle shell translucency
19:50the wood grain
19:51this is obviously authentic
19:53worth at least two million dollars
