00:00destroyed in three days. He did say anything.
00:13Transfer agreement, Mr. Cole. One fine, the hotel is yours.
00:17It's too much. Dad insists. The hotel is nothing after
00:20everything you've given him. Fine. Another hotel? I can't
00:25believe it. I should pinch myself.
00:33Oh, my God. I thought you were a homeless person.
00:36We invited you to our wedding. We did not say you could come
00:39to one of my properties. Have you ever even heard of a hotel
00:42like this? This is called a five-star hotel. I know you
00:46could only afford cheap motels before. I actually have
00:49business here. Business? What business could you
00:55possibly have here? Wouldn't you like to know? All right,
00:58bro. Security! Get this clown out of here.
01:04Mr. Cole. Please. Come in.
01:10Feels good getting slapped. Doesn't it?
01:17How did they know his name? Don't worry. I'll look into it.
01:22We are going to humiliate him properly at our wedding ceremony.
01:26Yeah. Marrying Lance is the happiest moment of my life. And
01:34there's one person I really want to thank. My ex-husband, Ethan. Without
01:39having the experience of dating such a poor, cheap, and honestly not
01:44that cute kind of man, I wouldn't understand what real love is.
01:48My pleasure. Oh, and I brought you a wedding gift. Don't forget.
01:51Huh! What a fucking loser.
01:53Honey, we're all my group stock just plummeted 90%. That's impossible. Some of the
01:59ten. Now, who the hell would be a... How's that for a wedding gift?
02:03Yeah, like, you could do that. You probably had to take out a loan just to afford an Uber
02:08to get here. This boy's delusional. Only
02:11Maximus Tyson could do that. Yeah, exactly. Tyson's the only man in L.A. with that kind
02:15of power. Our warehouses, all 18 of them are on fire. We've lost everything.
02:23We have maximum security on all those sites. How could they burn? I just saw the footage.
02:27Someone infiltrated. If the goods are gone, we'll breach every contract we've signed.
02:31They'll be ruined. Told you. This will be a night you never forget.
02:37Ethan, be real, man. There's no way this is...
02:41There's no way. Come on, Ethan. Tell them you had nothing to do with this.
02:44Every disaster hitting at once looks like he had a reason.
02:48The main office just got seized by Mr. Tyson's team. We really should go.
02:54So Cromwell pissed off Mr. Tyson. It all makes sense now.
02:57Yeah, this Ethan guy is just fucking bluffing. Next you'll say Tyson works for you.
03:02What could we have done to offend Mr. Tyson?
03:04You did.
03:07But you did offend Ethan and that is even worse.
03:13Looks like you were right, Amber. The way I do work for Ethan.
03:17Mr. Cole.
03:18Are you satisfied with the downfall, Cromwell?
03:21Sir, it's gonna be happening. Thank you.
03:24My pleasure.
03:26Who? Who the hell are you?
03:29Please, sir. We didn't know who you were. Just spare my family.
03:34Don't beg him.
03:35Beg him.
03:41You fool!
03:42Now get down on your knees and apologize.
03:45Ethan, I mean Mr. Cole. Forgive us, please. I'm begging you.
03:49Ethan, would you really do this to me? I did love you. Why would you hurt me now?
03:53You stupid money beggar. This is all your fault. You, you destroyed my family. I don't ever want to see
04:01your face again. We're done.
04:06So as I walk out that door. Is that enough for you, Mr. Cole?
04:11Lance, you should really be careful who you mock. You never know who they might become one day.
04:16Ethan, baby. Let's just start over. I love you, baby. Please. We can make this work.
04:21Happy wedding day. Beautiful, beautiful ceremony. Thanks for having me.
04:30I hear the Cromwells have fallen. How does it feel?
04:33Your father's name is justified.
04:36Who?
04:38What's this?
04:39Just some stocks I'm buying.
04:41Damn it. You know, I call myself this wicked stock goddess, yet I'm losing like hell.
04:47Let's see if my powers work on stocks, too.
04:51There you go. I can see a month ahead.
04:54I'd say buy Helen Group, Inc. now.
04:56And then sell it after seven trading days when it peaks.
04:59But just don't get greedy, okay?
05:01Are you serious? Do you know anything about trading stocks?
05:04I mean, Helen Group is down 4% from last week.
05:06Well, to your call. But you know what I'm capable of.
05:09Screw it.
05:11But this tanks again, Ethan Cole. I'm holding you personally accountable.
05:14That's fine.
05:18Let's test this. I'll invest most of my cash, too.
05:21Seven days and then we'll know.
05:25Hello?
05:25Ethan, come get me. I miss you.
05:28Are you drunk?
05:28The client kept pushing drinks. That pig definitely had ulterior motives.
05:33But don't worry. I can handle it. Your wife knows her limits.
05:37Stay put.
05:38Alright, I'm on my way.
05:43Another toast, President Shaw.
05:45I value this partnership immensely.
05:48Drink. Let's celebrate.
05:50Mr. Wayne, I really shouldn't have another.
05:55Then perhaps we should reconsider the procurement contract.
05:59There seems to be issues.
06:01If I have this last change, you will sign the billion dollar offer?
06:07That'll be enough profit to carry Shaw Group for two years.
06:10The choice is yours.
06:13Last one.
06:14Once it hits your system, you'll be mine tonight.
06:17I've been waiting so long for this.
06:26Put it down, Vanessa.
06:28Ethan?
06:29You're here.
06:30Who the hell is this?
06:32Come on. Come on. Let's go.
06:33Mr. Wayne, allow me to introduce you to my fiancé, Mr. Ethan.
06:38I've heard about you. The live-in fiancé.
06:41Riding on Shaw Group's coattails.
06:43That's so cute.
06:51There. It's drunk. So the deal still stands.
06:54You think you're qualified to drink for President Shaw?
06:57With all due respect, Vanessa, you have looks, figure, status.
07:02Why settle for this trash?
07:08Boss, I just saw Mr. Cole into the VIP room.
07:11Which Mr. Cole?
07:12Ethan Cole.
07:13They say he saved Mr. Tyson's life.
07:15So it's him.
07:15Our branch has specifically ordered us to treat him with utmost respect.
07:19Boss, should we go toast, Mr. Cole?
07:21I'll do it myself.
07:22Prepare a bottle of roman and cunti.
07:24Right away, sir.
07:27Mr. Wayne, you can make my life as difficult as you want.
07:31But do not insult Ethan.
07:34I don't need this deal.
07:36That bad.
07:37Come with me.
07:39You won't regret it.
07:40So this deal's important?
07:44Yeah.
07:45Not really. Not that important.
07:46It's one billion dollars, the equivalent of Shaw Group's profit for two years.
07:50If I recall correctly, Vanessa, if Shaw Group does not close this deal, they're likely to go bankrupt.
07:57Right?
07:59Mr. Grant.
08:00I wanted to introduce myself to Mr. Romani Conti.
08:04That's worth several hundred thousand dollars.
08:06You have a good eye, sir.
08:07But I was wanting to introduce myself to Mr.
08:10I'm so honored that you would hand deliver this bottle of wine to me.
08:13As you know, my company values your participation in the syndicate.
08:17It's not for you.
08:19It's for Mr. Cole here.
08:22Pleasure, sir.
08:28You gotta be kidding me.
08:29Why would you want to talk to him?
08:32Ethan, I need to use that string.
08:34Mr. Wayne, I really hope you'll be considered it.
08:36Let me show you.
08:41Mr. Wayne.
08:42I'm afraid you're making a fool out of yourself here.
08:45Like Mr. Grant cares who you are.
08:47He's obviously confused.
08:52Gentlemen, I've come to propose a toast.
08:55Mr. Grant, it is I who should propose a toast to you.
08:59Mr. Cole, my apologies for not knowing you were dining with us today.
09:03I hope you can forgive us for our poor service.
09:05What? Even Zach Grant shows him such respect?
09:08Just who is Ethan?
09:09He can't be just a simple live-in son-in-law.
09:11Mr. Grant, the Pacific Syndicate operations are quite extensive, yeah?
09:15Yes, we report to the Valley Branch, the head of which is Miss Yurley Pices.
09:19Yurley?
09:20I didn't realize she's become so accomplished leading an entire branch by herself.
09:24Damn, Ethan is actually someone important in the Pacific Syndicate?
09:30Mr. Wayne, I'm feeling unwell. You're sweating profusely.
09:34It's nothing, I really, I, uh...
09:36I, uh...
09:40Mr. Cole, please, I look down on you when I shouldn't have...
09:44Please, I beg your forgiveness.
09:46So, sign!
09:48So, do I qualify to speak with you now, Mr. Wayne?
09:50Yes, of course you qualify. You more than qualify.
09:53Whatever you need.
09:57How about that contract?
09:59Well, sign it.
09:59Tomorrow morning, I'll, I will personally deliver it.
10:03A signed contract and transfer the payment.
10:05Good, yes.
10:06That's exactly what I want to hear.
10:10Damn it, I forgot about the drugged wine, but I can't mention it now.
10:13If Mr. Cole finds out I tried to drug them, you'll have me killed.
10:24Are they leaving?
10:25Yeah.
10:26You decided you wanted to head out early.
10:29Great.
10:29Another deal gone.
10:33That's okay.
10:34I'll find another partner.
10:36I would hate to think that I can't survive without Harmony Pharmaceuticals.
10:41It's fine.
10:42I took care of everything.
10:43Ethan, I know you're just trying to make me feel better, but you really don't have to do things like
10:49that.
10:49And I know Mr. Waldorf holds you in high regard, but Harmony Pharmaceuticals, their influence goes beyond his and yours.
11:00Fine, if she doesn't believe me now, Anthony will personally deliver the contract to Shaw Group tomorrow.
11:05That will be her surprise.
11:10Come on.
11:11I'll take you home.
11:13No, no, I can't go back.
11:16Grandpa hates me drinking.
11:19Would you walk me to the room?
11:22No.
11:25Father, I had a detective investigate.
11:27Ethan, he's not even Vanessa's fiance.
11:30He's been playing us all.
11:32How dare she deceive me.
11:34I'll bet you anything he just got lucky.
11:37Saw my antique store.
11:38Made a couple hundred thousand dollars.
11:40He doesn't have a company.
11:41No real assets.
11:43He's unestablished.
11:45I'll bet you anything he's deliberately targeting Vanessa.
11:49Why, he wants to get close to Vanessa then take over the Shaw family empire.
11:55Grandpa, you spent your whole life building this company.
11:59Tell me you're not going to let some outsider take it from us.
12:04Mike, you're back in the family.
12:07Starting tomorrow, you'll join the company as deputy CEO.
12:12We have to put a stop to this.
12:14Thanks.
12:15Bye-bye Vanessa.
12:28You okay?
12:29Yeah.
12:29I'm good.
12:30You alright?
12:32Yeah.
12:34I'm good.
12:38I...
12:39I wanted this.
12:41Me too.
12:42Okay.
12:44Bye.
12:45Bye.
12:46Bye.
12:50Mr. Wayne, from Harmony Pharmaceuticals.
12:53It's an honor to meet you.
12:55And you are?
12:55Mike.
12:56Any business you have, you can discuss it with me.
12:59I see.
13:00So if they're all part of the same family, signing with this Mike should accomplish the same thing.
13:05So, what brought you in today?
13:06I came to deliver a signed contract for the billion dollar deal between Harmony Pharmaceuticals and the Shaw Group.
13:12What?
13:13The billion dollar deal?
13:15Wasn't Vanessa handling this?
13:17Seems she failed to close it, and now the contract just walks in my door.
13:21Is there something wrong, Mr. Shaw?
13:23No, no, not at all.
13:25You know what?
13:25Let's sign this right now.
13:27You need a pen?
13:27Yeah.
13:32Right there, right there.
13:37You got it.
13:43This is incredible.
13:44Helen Group has just tripled in one day.
13:47My original four million is now with over ten million.
13:50This just proves my ability to predict stops.
13:52Now I can really get to work.
13:54White sand mining, crescent pictures.
13:57Dragon Creek Holdings.
13:59The next three ten-baggers.
14:01But with my current capital, even a ten-fold return wouldn't be enough.
14:09Ethan, you're a god.
14:12I finally hit the big time.
14:13From now on, I'll be running Wall Street.
14:16I'll take any investment tips from you.
14:18That'd be great.
14:19Uh, but don't forget what I told you, alright?
14:21You gotta sell today, the crash is coming.
