Transcript
00:00:03Why is he so desperate to see us?
00:00:05I don't know, but it's me.
00:00:06Wait, what did you tell him?
00:00:07Not a word.
00:00:11Father.
00:00:14I don't have a lot of time.
00:00:16I'm sure I won't last the night.
00:00:20Dad, our stock's been tanking.
00:00:22It's been three days now.
00:00:23The Carters are going to lose everything.
00:00:26Dad, Claire's still out cold at the hospital.
00:00:29Please, you have to hold on.
00:00:30You can't leave her like this.
00:00:31I'm begging you.
00:00:33It seems that heaven is done with the Carters.
00:00:36A century of legacy is all going up in smoke.
00:00:40And on my watch...
00:00:43No, Mr. Carter.
00:00:44You're a good, honest, and decent man.
00:00:46I know heaven won't turn its back on you.
00:01:13I, Alan Carter, of Silver Lake, offer my life a virtue and final breath a sacrifice.
00:01:26I humbly summon the Paul-Bearer.
00:01:32What's wrong with Dad?
00:01:34What Paul-Bearer?
00:01:35I've heard the old-timers talk about it.
00:01:38The Paul-Bearer guides the dead and can only be summoned by the most virtuous.
00:01:43I know no one can bring him here, let alone face him.
00:01:46Oh, please, that's enough.
00:01:48I think the old man's gone senile.
00:01:50It's the final surge, just nonsense.
00:01:52Keep it down.
00:01:58He's here!
00:01:59He's here!
00:02:00Everyone out!
00:02:02Leave us alone!
00:02:03Go now!
00:02:05Sir, ma'am, please.
00:02:14The Paul-Bearer doesn't take bowels from the living.
00:02:21Mr. Hubert, it really is you!
00:02:24Alan Carter, your time has come.
00:02:27Today is your last day with the living.
00:02:29I'm here to guide you over to the other side.
00:02:32You have lived your life well.
00:02:34Your virtue will shield your kin.
00:02:36The first incense will help the Carter secure the family fortune.
00:02:46Hello?
00:02:47What?
00:02:48The stock just kite-rocketed?
00:02:49And the bank approved the extension?
00:02:51The second incense will keep the youngest Carter safe.
00:02:56Hello?
00:02:58Really, Dr. Fisher?
00:02:59The surgery was a success!
00:03:01Claire's gonna be okay!
00:03:02Thank you so much!
00:03:03Oh, that's great!
00:03:05All right!
00:03:05Unbelievable!
00:03:06It's a miracle!
00:03:09This is the Lifetime Incense.
00:03:11It burns for 15 minutes.
00:03:13For your lifelong kindness, I can grant you one final wish.
00:03:16What is it that your heart desires?
00:03:24I will say my final wish.
00:03:26Please, Mr. Hubert, marry my granddaughter, Claire Carter, and join our family!
00:03:35I'm the Underworld Pallbearer.
00:03:37I walk beyond mortal fate.
00:03:39I owe the living nothing.
00:03:40I will not grant this.
00:03:42I am aware that the Carter's luck has run dry.
00:03:45For three years, misfortune will hunt us down.
00:03:48My bloodline has been marked for death.
00:03:51I'm not really asking for a real marriage.
00:03:54I just want to use the Union as shield.
00:03:57I beg you, protect us from the next three years.
00:03:59Help my family survive the oncoming slaughter.
00:04:03I offer a lifetime of virtue in exchange.
00:04:06Even if the consequence is that I'm barred from rebirth, I'm willing to pay the ultimate price.
00:04:11If virtue is to be the price, the pact is made.
00:04:14I accept.
00:04:15I'll shield the Carter's, but only for three years.
00:04:18After that, the marriage will end and our debt is settled.
00:04:21My deepest thanks, Paul Bearer!
00:04:30Long shadows for the living, an even flame for the dead.
00:04:34One death per year, extinction in three.
00:04:37A total ruin, indeed.
00:04:43Alan, you have my word.
00:04:45I will carry your house through this trial.
00:04:50So you're the one Grandpa brought to save us?
00:05:00You and I aren't married.
00:05:02You are not a Carter, so just stay away from the altar, you got that?
00:05:07You must be Claire.
00:05:08The old man must have lost his mind.
00:05:10Imagine betrothing Claire to this random penniless loser on his deathbed.
00:05:15He's worth less than an errand boy.
00:05:17The Carters are an elite family in Silver Lake.
00:05:19This marriage dad arranged is an absolute embarrassment.
00:05:22This is so unbelievable.
00:05:25Really now?
00:05:25Ma'am, before he passed, Mr. Carter added Mr. Eubert to the family registry as Claire's fiancée.
00:05:31He has every right to be at the altar.
00:05:37Dad, Mom, I refuse to marry him.
00:05:40Please, Henry, if you force Claire to marry this man, I'm leaving you for good.
00:05:44Keep quiet.
00:05:44My dad isn't cold yet.
00:05:45Defying him now would be social suicide.
00:05:48Once the three-year mourning's over, we'll throw him out in the street.
00:05:58Mr. Eubert, please step forward.
00:06:05This seal will hold misfortune up, Bade.
00:06:08On the third anniversary, I will lead the great ritual to break the Carter curse forever.
00:06:34What took you so long?
00:06:36I'm starving here.
00:06:37Well, you wanted fresh fish from the market, so I had to go to South City Market.
00:06:41Just look at you.
00:06:42Three years as a house husband, doing nothing else but cooking in the kitchen and cleaning the house.
00:06:47You're totally a lost cause.
00:06:49How did we get stuck with a son-in-law like you?
00:06:52Look, Kyle, it's been three years already.
00:06:55I'm not getting any younger, and I want a baby.
00:06:59Are you saying?
00:07:01I do want a baby, but just not with you.
00:07:06I do want a baby, but just not with you.
00:07:10Kyle, what does that mean?
00:07:11Are you deaf or something?
00:07:12You heard, Claire.
00:07:13The Carters need to produce an heir that's worthy.
00:07:15How could a loser like you possibly offer that?
00:07:18Look, Kyle, I tolerated you for three years as Grandpa's final wish, but I'm very ambitious.
00:07:24I won't waste my life on a man who likes to play chef.
00:07:26Calling it off again?
00:07:28Well, of course.
00:07:29I need a man who can actually strongly lead, and that will never be you.
00:07:33Just three days left.
00:07:34I have to save them.
00:07:35I can't leave them here.
00:07:36I won't agree to this.
00:07:38Have you no shame?
00:07:39We've kept you around for three long years.
00:07:41That's the only stroke of luck you'll ever have.
00:07:43So what now?
00:07:44You plan to leech off of us forever?
00:07:45I gave old Carter my word, so I'm seeing this through.
00:07:49You'd better stop flattering yourself.
00:07:51The old man was senile.
00:07:52I'm sure he only used you as some sort of lucky charm.
00:07:55Admit it.
00:07:56You're just after the Carter fortune.
00:07:58I really couldn't care less about money or any of that.
00:08:01I'm still not walking away from this engagement.
00:08:03Listen.
00:08:04If you try to ruin me, I hope you don't expect me to play fair.
00:08:17You and I are still engaged, yet you're replacing me?
00:08:21Oh, Kyle.
00:08:22If not for Grandpa's will, I would have married Jaden years ago.
00:08:26The Prescots are Silver Lake's wealthiest.
00:08:28When Claire marries him, that South City project is going to be ours for sure.
00:08:32You're utterly useless.
00:08:33Just face it.
00:08:34Don't ruin this family's future.
00:08:36I can get that project.
00:08:38I'll help secure it for you.
00:08:40Unbelievable.
00:08:41Stop dreaming, will you?
00:08:42You don't even work.
00:08:43I'll get it.
00:08:44You'll have the contract by tomorrow.
00:08:50Claire, that deal is tomorrow.
00:08:52That loser is just trying to stall.
00:08:54He'll ruin everything.
00:08:56What do we do?
00:08:57We have one day left.
00:08:58I'll force him out if I have to.
00:09:14Mr. Hubert, you're here late.
00:09:16Forgive the poor welcome.
00:09:18Let's cut to the chase.
00:09:19I heard you were unwell, so I'm here to help.
00:09:21But first, you must do me a favor.
00:09:25Knowing that I shall have your guidance is the honor of a lifetime.
00:09:30Ask anything, and I'll do it a thousand times without any hesitation.
00:09:34The South City Project.
00:09:36Give it to the carters tomorrow.
00:09:38Sure, Mr. Hubert.
00:09:39I'll even deliver the contract to them personally.
00:09:42I won't let you down.
00:09:44Wait, Mr. Hubert!
00:09:52My legs miraculously healed.
00:09:55I can stand once again.
00:09:57I can actually stand.
00:10:02I am in your death, Mr. Hubert.
00:10:10Hello, Ms. Carter.
00:10:11Ms. Carter.
00:10:18I thought I already told you never to pick me up here.
00:10:21I was just worried.
00:10:24Ms. Carter, who is this man with you?
00:10:28He's just the driver.
00:10:29You go ahead.
00:10:30Okay.
00:10:30Bye, Ms. Carter.
00:10:32Three years engaged, and that's how you're going to introduce me?
00:10:37You have no status, no job, and no money.
00:10:40What else do you think you are to me?
00:10:42Enough.
00:10:43Just take me to the Onyx.
00:11:07Miss Carter, welcome.
00:11:10Happy third anniversary.
00:11:13I didn't think that you'd actually remember.
00:11:16No, Kyle.
00:11:17This anniversary is for Jaden and me.
00:11:20What's that?
00:11:21Three years of our engagement?
00:11:24And you were cheating on me all this time?
00:11:27You were cheating on me all this time?
00:11:29Kyle, let's be real here.
00:11:31For three years, everyone I know has seen me with Jaden in public, and they know him as my boyfriend.
00:11:41Jaden, I didn't think you'd be here so early.
00:11:45It's our third anniversary.
00:11:46How could I be late for that?
00:11:50So this must be your pathetic fiancée, playing chauffeur?
00:11:57Hey loser, stay away from Claire now.
00:12:00She's way out of your league.
00:12:02I'm the one who's engaged her.
00:12:03I should be the one telling you that.
00:12:09See, Kyle?
00:12:11No one cares if you're my fiancée.
00:12:13Jaden's the one I love.
00:12:14Have some pride and just stop pestering me.
00:12:16I hope you heard that, you loser.
00:12:19The unwanted sip here is the only obvious clown.
00:12:23Whatever.
00:12:24Shall we go?
00:12:24He's not worth our time.
00:12:30Damn it, woman.
00:12:31Are you blind or what?
00:12:32What the?
00:12:33I'm so sorry.
00:12:34Well.
00:12:36Watch where you're going next time.
00:12:38Do you not know who I am?
00:12:39I don't even damn who you are.
00:12:43Jaden!
00:12:45Jaden!
00:12:50I want him!
00:12:54Hold on.
00:12:55Let's just talk this out, man.
00:12:57No need for violence.
00:12:59Look at this coward.
00:13:00Trying to play the hero, kid?
00:13:02Hey boys, break his smug face.
00:13:04The girl's with us now.
00:13:06Wait!
00:13:07Go, go, hear me!
00:13:08Stop it!
00:13:13Fine.
00:13:14We'll just start with you then.
00:13:17Let's move now.
00:13:18Wait, but what about Kyle?
00:13:19Don't forget him.
00:13:20If he wants to show up, then just let them teach him a lesson.
00:13:24But you and I should go.
00:13:28Claire, we've been together three years.
00:13:31How can you just leave me like this?
00:13:34Some hero you must be.
00:13:35Your girl didn't even look back.
00:13:42Kyle, the gifts you give me,
00:13:44they only make me feel sick.
00:13:46Are you ready?
00:13:54Stop following me, will you?
00:13:55You're pathetic.
00:14:12I'm going to call for backup, boss!
00:14:15I'm going to call for backup, boss!
00:14:15Tomorrow marks three years since Alan Carter passed.
00:14:20Claire, after the great ritual, I'm done with you.
00:14:22Happy third anniversary!
00:14:29So, Claire, I'd really love for you to be mine tonight.
00:14:35Jayden, Kyla's still out there.
00:14:38So what if...
00:14:40Claire, don't tell me you're thinking about that guy.
00:14:44You don't care about him, do you?
00:14:46Of course not! It's just...
00:14:47He did help us out there.
00:14:49If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even have run into those thugs!
00:14:55Don't kill the moon now.
00:14:57Today's our anniversary.
00:15:02Jayden, my engagement to Kyle isn't technically over yet.
00:15:07That guy's just a big loser.
00:15:09Why are you so worried about him, Claire?
00:15:11How much longer am I supposed to wait for you, huh?
00:15:15After all that humiliation, I'm sure he'll dump me.
00:15:19Jayden, no matter what happens, I'm marrying you.
00:15:22Do you think you can lock in the South City Project for us?
00:15:28Consider it done, babe.
00:15:29You'll see.
00:15:37Keith, what's up?
00:15:39Any word on the South City Project?
00:15:41Jayden, I'm sorry, but my grandpa gave it to someone else.
00:15:48That's impossible, Keith.
00:15:50Besides the press cards, who else could have possibly taken it?
00:15:55Besides the press cards, who else could have possibly taken it?
00:15:57I'm really not sure.
00:15:59Grandpa said it was a personal favor for a VIP.
00:16:01Personal favor for a VIP?
00:16:04He's already at the top and has everything he wants.
00:16:06Who else could he be indebted to?
00:16:15Claire, we landed the South City Project.
00:16:18Dad, are you sure about that?
00:16:20Yes, I'm dead serious.
00:16:21Not only that, Mr. Sinclair showed up too.
00:16:24He said to call him directly if we ever need anything.
00:16:26This is great.
00:16:27Really great.
00:16:28Honestly, I had no idea.
00:16:30Jayden could pull strings so easily and so fast too.
00:16:33Claire, don't let him slip away.
00:16:36We need to fast track this wedding.
00:16:40Oh, well.
00:16:46Oh, Claire.
00:16:47Jayden, you're incredible.
00:16:49The South City Project is officially ours.
00:16:51Wait, so you actually got it?
00:16:54Does that mean I'm the VIP?
00:16:57Bolt Sinclair did me a favor?
00:17:01Jayden, you've been so good to me.
00:17:03How could I ever repay you?
00:17:04I know.
00:17:06How about you marry me tonight, Claire?
00:17:10Jayden, stop it!
00:17:12I'm not ready for this yet.
00:17:17What are you doing?
00:17:20If you want to dump that loser, I'll make it easy.
00:17:23Let's make that simp of yours.
00:17:25Watch while his fiancée cheats on him with his very own eyes.
00:17:28I bet he'll call it off then.
00:17:48Stop it!
00:17:50Kyle, what's wrong with you?
00:17:51He treats you like trash.
00:17:53Why are you siding with him?
00:17:55Listen, whatever Jayden and I do is none of your business.
00:17:58So I'm the one ruining everything for you then?
00:18:02Exactly.
00:18:03You're the one who's been standing in the way this whole time.
00:18:08All right, fine.
00:18:11Consider our engagement over.
00:18:23Well, finally, he's walking away for good now.
00:18:27Three years of being engaged.
00:18:30What made him change his mind?
00:18:33This is perfect.
00:18:35Such great news.
00:18:36I'm glad that loser finally decided to end your engagement.
00:18:39So, Jayden, I feel strongly that you and Claire are truly a match made in heaven.
00:18:45I'm happy that our daughter found a real winner by choosing him.
00:18:50Not only is Claire set for life, the Prescott's help guarantees our family's comeback.
00:18:56Mr. and Mrs. Carter, don't worry.
00:18:58I'll make sure that Claire will want for nothing.
00:19:02Good.
00:19:03Oh, wait.
00:19:04Claire, tomorrow is the memorial.
00:19:07The whole family will gather together.
00:19:10It's a great chance to take the floor and announce your engagement to Jayden.
00:19:14Great.
00:19:15I love that idea.
00:19:21It is time.
00:19:22Memorial rites begin now.
00:19:25The first bow is for our ancestors' grace.
00:19:28The second bow is to honor this man's legacy and love.
00:19:35The third bow is for him to always watch over this family.
00:19:40Eldest son, grandson-in-law.
00:19:43Come forward to lead us.
00:19:51May I have your attention?
00:19:53I'd like to introduce Claire's fiancé.
00:19:55The heir to the Prescott group.
00:19:57Jayden Prescott.
00:19:58As of today, he's the eldest grandson-in-law of the Carters.
00:20:01What?
00:20:02Grandson-in-law?
00:20:04Hi, everyone.
00:20:05I'm Jayden.
00:20:06And I'm honored to now officially be part of this family.
00:20:10I thought Claire was engaged to Kyle Hubert.
00:20:13Who even is this Prescott guy?
00:20:16Congratulations.
00:20:17What a perfect match, indeed.
00:20:19I think that Jayden Prescott is quite the catch.
00:20:22I mean, clearly, these two were made for one another.
00:20:25You know what I'm saying?
00:20:26Congratulations.
00:20:27Ellen Carter, our three-year pact is up.
00:20:30I'll perform the great ritual to break your family's curse.
00:20:33My debt to you will finally be paid in full.
00:20:36Congratulations, huh?
00:20:48Wait, stop!
00:20:49Kyle!
00:20:50You agreed to call off the engagement.
00:20:52So why are you here?
00:20:53I'm a man of my word.
00:20:55Once I pay my respects, I'll be gone for good.
00:20:59Look, Kyle.
00:21:00I'm the one who's part of this family now.
00:21:02Who do you think you are, huh?
00:21:04You don't belong here, so better scram.
00:21:06I made a promise, and I intend to keep it.
00:21:09Kyle, please don't make a scene.
00:21:11Everyone here is watching.
00:21:12Are you trying to embarrass us?
00:21:14Embarrass you?
00:21:15I'm doing this to save the Carter family.
00:21:18Save the Carter family?
00:21:19Nice try, Kyle, but no one here is buying that.
00:21:22Everyone here knows you're just desperate to gain attention.
00:21:25Loser, don't use my dad as an excuse.
00:21:28Today, I'm ending this force you put on once and for all.
00:21:32Claire?
00:21:37Your name will be struck from the family registry.
00:21:41The pact I made was our only bond.
00:21:44No more after this.
00:21:45No more ties.
00:21:46It all ends today.
00:21:48Hmph.
00:21:49I say good riddance.
00:21:58I can't believe a life of virtue was wasted on a family like this.
00:22:03Your luck has just run out, I'm afraid.
00:22:06Hmph.
00:22:06Come on now.
00:22:07Jayden, write your name in the registry.
00:22:10Let's make it official and become our newest member of the Carter family.
00:22:21Well, it's official now.
00:22:23I'm the real grandson-in-law now.
00:22:27Jayden, may you step up and lead us.
00:22:32If anyone dares to take the lead from me, the Carters will all be finished.
00:22:38The Carters will all be finished.
00:22:40You!
00:22:44Look, Kyle.
00:22:45Even if you resent me, we spent three years together.
00:22:48How could you curse my family?
00:22:50You really are unbelievable.
00:22:53Fine.
00:22:54Suit yourselves.
00:22:55Just don't regret it later.
00:23:00Huh?
00:23:01Heh!
00:23:01Ungrateful bastard!
00:23:03He's been a freeloader for three goddamn years.
00:23:05Then on his way out, he curses us?
00:23:07What rotten luck.
00:23:10Jayden, please light the incense.
00:23:24Hold Mr. Carter, you misjudged them three years ago.
00:23:28But don't worry.
00:23:28As the family's new son-in-law, I, Jayden Prescott, will leave this family now.
00:23:44What the heck's happening?
00:23:48What the heck's happening?
00:23:50It's so scary.
00:23:55The incense!
00:23:56The first stick went out!
00:23:59The first stick's out.
00:24:00Your wealth will dry up.
00:24:02You have brought this upon yourselves.
00:24:06The ash cattered!
00:24:08The offering bolt cracked!
00:24:09That's a sign of financial ruin!
00:24:11Henry!
00:24:12Go and relight the incense!
00:24:14Hurry up!
00:24:14Go now!
00:24:15Go!
00:24:18Henry!
00:24:19Henry!
00:24:19The second stick's out.
00:24:22The family line will now be cut off.
00:24:47The carters are finished.
00:24:55What's happening?
00:24:56Oh no!
00:24:57What is going on?
00:25:00Oh no!
00:25:02Ouch!
00:25:03Dad!
00:25:04What is that?
00:25:08Crows flying!
00:25:09Ants swarming!
00:25:10The family will perish!
00:25:11The carters!
00:25:12The carters are doomed!
00:25:18Run!
00:25:19Run!
00:25:20Let's go!
00:25:20Hey!
00:25:20Where are you going?
00:25:21Hey!
00:25:22Wait!
00:25:25Honey!
00:25:26What on earth is going on?
00:25:28Could it be?
00:25:29Our family is really in serious trouble?
00:25:31Nonsense!
00:25:32It's just a coincidence.
00:25:34Don't think of such things.
00:25:36Mom!
00:25:37You really shouldn't listen to the guests.
00:25:39It's superstition!
00:25:40What bad omens could there be?
00:25:42You're right.
00:25:43It's just superstition.
00:25:44Someone's clearly stirring things up.
00:25:48Mr. and Mrs. Carter.
00:25:49Mr. and Mrs. Carter, don't you worry.
00:25:50Now that I'm in the registry, from here on end, I'm one of you.
00:25:54With me here, the Carter family will get stronger and rise to glory.
00:26:00Jaden's absolutely right.
00:26:01Who says it's a bad omen?
00:26:03It looks like a blessing to me.
00:26:05Jaden and Claire are going to be married.
00:26:07I think our family might just get to turn things around.
00:26:11Yes, exactly.
00:26:12It's a blessing for sure.
00:26:14We should strike while the iron's hot.
00:26:16The first day of the next month is a lucky date.
00:26:19Let's hold the engagement back with that day.
00:26:21Jaden, dear, what do you think?
00:26:23That's a great idea.
00:26:25Player, at last we can be together openly.
00:26:30Kyle, will you regret this?
00:26:46Relax.
00:26:47I'm leaving soon enough.
00:26:49You're a useless bum.
00:26:50Always stalling and ruining our family.
00:26:52Just get out already.
00:26:54I ruined your family?
00:26:55If you hadn't jinxed us earlier, would I have this injury?
00:26:57So damn unlucky.
00:27:00You're the ones who are too stubborn to listen to reason.
00:27:03The omens you saw were just warnings.
00:27:06More bad luck is still to come.
00:27:08That's enough, Kyle.
00:27:09Why must you keep cursing our family?
00:27:11We were engaged for three years.
00:27:13Why do you have to be so cruel?
00:27:14I have said my piece.
00:27:16You take care of yourselves.
00:27:17I hope you don't regret things later.
00:27:22Here are the house keys and the rest of my allowance.
00:27:35I just gave you $10,000.
00:27:37Now it's only $16,80.
00:27:40You useless bum.
00:27:41Where did all the money go?
00:27:42You freeloaded from this family for three years and still spent our money?
00:27:49This is the leg.
00:27:51What kind of nonsense is this?
00:27:57Hey, wait!
00:27:59Miss Carter, what else is there?
00:28:02For the sake of the three years we spent together, if you apologize for that nonsense earlier, I will let
00:28:08you stay with my family.
00:28:09Stay with your family?
00:28:10Mm-hmm.
00:28:11That's right.
00:28:12You can then be the cook or the house manager.
00:28:14Meals and lodging plus 5,000 monthly.
00:28:17Better than you wandering out in the streets.
00:28:20You want me as a cook?
00:28:21You can save your kindness for someone willing to be humiliated.
00:28:27Such an ungrateful bastard.
00:28:29Hey, Kyle, you're gonna regret this.
00:28:31Leave our family and you'll be nothing.
00:28:47What just happened?
00:28:50What just happened?
00:28:53Oh, that girl.
00:28:55You spoiled or rotten.
00:28:59Into thin air.
00:29:00He must have ran off so fast and you just missed it.
00:29:03You're right.
00:29:04Maybe I did see it wrong.
00:29:18This must be where Mr. Hubert stays, yes.
00:29:21Mr. Sinclair?
00:29:22What is he doing here?
00:29:26Mr. Sinclair, it's good to see you.
00:29:28We're honored by your visit.
00:29:30You should have let us know you were coming.
00:29:31Mr. Sinclair, about the South City Project.
00:29:34Thanks for stepping in.
00:29:35We were even planning to thank you in person.
00:29:37No, it was nothing.
00:29:37Mr. Carter, Ms. Carter, you flatter me.
00:29:39I only succeeded thanks to your family.
00:29:41Someone extraordinary is watching over you.
00:29:43You are blessed.
00:29:44Many great thanks await your family indeed.
00:29:47Oh, Mr. Sinclair, the person you're referring to is...
00:29:52Oh, Mr. Sinclair, the person you're referring to is...
00:29:56Oh, that person is actually your family's son-in-law.
00:29:59The reason I came is to pay him a visit.
00:30:01Mr. Carter, would you kindly bring me to him?
00:30:05Could that person he's referring to be Kyle?
00:30:08Nonsense.
00:30:08That useless one was already kicked out.
00:30:11Jade is already part of the family, so it must be him.
00:30:14Mr. Sinclair, we're sorry.
00:30:16He's not here right now, and you came all this way.
00:30:19Well, that's quite a pity.
00:30:21That's all right.
00:30:22I'll come and visit some other time.
00:30:24Mr. Sinclair, my daughter Claire is getting married three days from now.
00:30:28We just thought and sincerely hope that you'd accept to be the officiant.
00:30:33Mr. Hubert's wedding?
00:30:34Looks like the quarters are in for good luck.
00:30:36Officiating for Mr. Hubert would be my great honor.
00:30:40Thank you so much for the invitation.
00:30:42I gladly accept and I'll be there on time to officiate.
00:30:52Goodbye.
00:30:53Take care.
00:30:57I didn't expect Jaden to be this capable.
00:31:00Even someone like old Mr. Sinclair treats him with such respect.
00:31:03The Prescott's may be the richest in Silver Lake,
00:31:06although compared to the Sinclairs, they're not even close.
00:31:08So why would he treat Jaden with so much respect?
00:31:13What other reason could there be?
00:31:15Jaden's connections are very impressive.
00:31:18If only Kyle had even half of Jaden's resources.
00:31:22Things would have been so different.
00:31:24Oh, God.
00:31:25That useless bum has no skills but was arrogant.
00:31:28Without our family's generosity,
00:31:29he would have just starved to death.
00:31:31All right, let's head back in.
00:31:33Let's go.
00:32:00It is I, Sam Ashford,
00:32:02seeking an audience with a pallbearer.
00:32:13You're here, Mr. Hubert.
00:32:15Greetings, pallbearer.
00:32:23Sam Ashford,
00:32:24you used blood incense to summon me.
00:32:26What do you seek?
00:32:27My time is running out.
00:32:29My family, sadly, is cursed.
00:32:32Our fortune is collapsing.
00:32:34Please, you must help us by breaking the curse that haunts us.
00:32:37That's fate cutting incense.
00:32:38It brings fortune to ruin.
00:32:40Anyone struck by this loses all income.
00:32:42Money drains away.
00:32:44Within three months, your family will be completely ruined.
00:32:49Mr. Hubert, I think you're absolutely right.
00:32:51This terrible curse has haunted my family for almost a year.
00:32:55Every time our business improves, disaster always strikes.
00:32:58It's really like walking on thin ice.
00:33:02Life has been worse than death.
00:33:03That's why I, Sam Ashford,
00:33:05am willing to use the family's 100 years of protecting Silver Lake
00:33:07as merit to ask you to break this family curse
00:33:10and save my family from this disaster.
00:33:13Sam Ashford,
00:33:14you've funded 22 schools
00:33:16as well as 10 nursing homes.
00:33:18The good you've done
00:33:19is enough to bless three generations.
00:33:22I will stay with your family
00:33:23as a consultant for three months
00:33:25and help you break the curse.
00:33:26Thank you so much, sir.
00:33:28Thank you so much, really.
00:33:34Kath!
00:33:40Kath,
00:33:41Mr. Hubert, here is
00:33:42my guest of honor.
00:33:46Grandpa,
00:33:47are you okay?
00:33:47Ah,
00:33:48don't you worry.
00:33:49Kath,
00:33:50did you prepare everything already
00:33:52like I asked you?
00:33:53I did, Grandpa.
00:33:54Everything's ready.
00:34:03This is the key
00:34:04to a limited edition luxury car,
00:34:06the Dark Knight Phantom.
00:34:07There's only one in the world.
00:34:08You can use it if you like.
00:34:09No need.
00:34:10I travel my own way.
00:34:11This thing would always slow me down.
00:34:15I've been told you like the quiet.
00:34:16Grandpa found an old house
00:34:18in West Hill.
00:34:18It used to belong to a scholar
00:34:19and we've restored it.
00:34:21There's tea growing in the yard
00:34:22and there's a natural hot spring as well.
00:34:25How thoughtful.
00:34:26But I'm staying with your family,
00:34:27so I have no need
00:34:28for another place.
00:34:35This black card has no spending limit.
00:34:37It's global.
00:34:38Just give the card number.
00:34:40Please do accept it.
00:34:41These are just material things.
00:34:43All I need here
00:34:43is a quiet guest room.
00:34:45You may all go.
00:34:47I have been very foolish
00:34:49using worldly things
00:34:51only to offend you.
00:34:52I know I deserve punishment.
00:34:54Mr. Hubert,
00:34:55I am but an old man now
00:34:57and not very mobile.
00:34:58I can't personally look after you.
00:35:02My granddaughter, Kath,
00:35:03is well-mannered
00:35:04and gentle by nature.
00:35:06Let her be the one
00:35:06to accompany you
00:35:07and take care of
00:35:09whatever you may need.
00:35:14Mr. Hubert,
00:35:15this is the guest room
00:35:16we prepared.
00:35:17If you ever need anything,
00:35:18please just let us know.
00:35:22This would suffice.
00:35:24No need to fuss.
00:35:25Luxury cars,
00:35:26old mansions,
00:35:27black cards.
00:35:28Those are things
00:35:29most people can only dream of.
00:35:31Yet he doesn't care for them.
00:35:32What kind of man is he?
00:35:34To want nothing
00:35:34of these riches.
00:35:43Claire,
00:35:44what's the matter?
00:35:45Here, drink some water.
00:35:46Hurry now.
00:35:52Why were there bones in the fish?
00:35:54What are you people doing?
00:35:55Ma'am.
00:35:56Well,
00:35:57fish naturally have bones.
00:35:58Don't you think I know that?
00:36:00Why didn't you remove them?
00:36:01What's the point
00:36:02of keeping you around, huh?
00:36:05I removed the bones.
00:36:06Go on and eat.
00:36:09Back when Kyle cooked fish,
00:36:11he'd always take out
00:36:12every single bone for me.
00:36:13That loser.
00:36:14Useless at everything.
00:36:15Although,
00:36:16he was pretty skilled at cooking.
00:36:17That's really all
00:36:18he was good for.
00:36:19Mom.
00:36:20Why are you all standing there?
00:36:21Take the fish back
00:36:22to the kitchen.
00:36:23Take out the bones
00:36:23and bring it back.
00:36:27Mrs. Carter,
00:36:28something bad has happened.
00:36:30What?
00:36:33What happened here?
00:36:34Why'd this happen?
00:36:35All the fish are dead.
00:36:36I honestly don't know.
00:36:38I checked the water
00:36:39in the filter last night
00:36:40like always.
00:36:41Everything was still okay.
00:36:42I was about to feed them
00:36:43and I just thought
00:36:44that they were all dead.
00:36:45Impossible.
00:36:46You must have given
00:36:47the wrong food
00:36:47or skipped a water change.
00:36:48How dare you lie about it?
00:36:50Madam,
00:36:50I didn't.
00:36:52I took care of them
00:36:53exactly like you showed me.
00:36:54I really don't know
00:36:55what went wrong.
00:36:58Madam,
00:36:58it's bad.
00:36:59All the plants
00:36:59have suddenly wilted.
00:37:00How did my plant
00:37:01end up like this?
00:37:03Claire,
00:37:04could this be that curse?
00:37:05Remember,
00:37:06everything that Kyle
00:37:07said to us
00:37:07is coming true.
00:37:08He cursed our family.
00:37:11It's bad.
00:37:12Madam,
00:37:12Miss Carter,
00:37:13Mr. Carter,
00:37:14was it a crime?
00:37:14What?
00:37:15What?
00:37:17Mr. Carter,
00:37:18thank goodness
00:37:19you and I are okay.
00:37:24Dad,
00:37:25are you alright?
00:37:25Any injuries?
00:37:26Are you scared?
00:37:27It's failed on me.
00:37:28Luckily,
00:37:28we only hit the guardrail.
00:37:31Honey,
00:37:31all the fish are dead.
00:37:33What?
00:37:33The plants have wilted too
00:37:34and now a car crash?
00:37:36Could Kyle's curse
00:37:37on our family
00:37:37be actually real?
00:37:39Huh,
00:37:39Mrs. Carter,
00:37:40that loser
00:37:41was just humiliated
00:37:42so he wanted
00:37:43to provoke and rattle you.
00:37:44Why take him seriously?
00:37:46He's a nobody.
00:37:47But,
00:37:47Jayden,
00:37:48with everything weird
00:37:49that's been happening,
00:37:50I can't help
00:37:51but feel uneasy.
00:37:52Claire,
00:37:53if you're really
00:37:54that worried,
00:37:55just leave it to me.
00:37:56I'll handle it.
00:37:57I'm gonna put
00:37:58an end to all these
00:38:00strange events
00:38:01for good.
00:38:03Listen now,
00:38:04Demon Lord.
00:38:06Get out.
00:38:07Leave at once.
00:38:08Jayden,
00:38:09will this master
00:38:10really help us?
00:38:11Can he actually
00:38:12break the curse?
00:38:14Claire,
00:38:15don't worry.
00:38:15he's the most
00:38:16powerful master
00:38:17in all of Silver Lake.
00:38:18With him here,
00:38:20there's not a single curse
00:38:21that can survive
00:38:22after he's done
00:38:23doing this.
00:38:26Evil be gone now.
00:38:28Order be restored.
00:38:34Break!
00:38:38Break!
00:38:46Everyone,
00:38:47don't worry.
00:38:47The evil
00:38:48that haunted
00:38:49this home
00:38:49is now
00:38:50completely gone.
00:38:51You can live
00:38:52about your lives
00:38:53in peace,
00:38:54finally.
00:38:55All your problems
00:38:56are over.
00:38:57Thank you,
00:38:58Master.
00:38:58I really appreciate
00:38:59your help.
00:39:00You're very welcome.
00:39:02Although,
00:39:03hmm,
00:39:05it seems that
00:39:06the energy here
00:39:07has been really off.
00:39:08The evil's gone,
00:39:09but it could use
00:39:10some positive energy.
00:39:12If you ask me,
00:39:14you should throw
00:39:14a wedding.
00:39:15Once that's over,
00:39:17Joy will chase out
00:39:18all the bad luck,
00:39:19and then
00:39:20everything will
00:39:21fall into place.
00:39:22You're right,
00:39:23Master.
00:39:23We definitely
00:39:24need a celebration.
00:39:25I'll start preparing
00:39:26the wedding room then.
00:39:27Every lucky decoration
00:39:28that I can find
00:39:29has to be in place.
00:39:31Yes,
00:39:32exactly.
00:39:33Jayden and Claire
00:39:34are already engaged.
00:39:35Getting married soon
00:39:36is ideal.
00:39:38Master,
00:39:38with your words,
00:39:39we'll finally
00:39:40feel at ease.
00:39:42I can't shake the feeling
00:39:44that things aren't
00:39:45that simple.
00:39:46Mr. Hubert,
00:39:47out of all these projects,
00:39:49which one's the best
00:39:50to invest in?
00:39:51I'm a bit out of touch,
00:39:52so I'd really
00:39:53appreciate your advice.
00:40:01Go with this one.
00:40:02In two weeks,
00:40:03the policy will favor it.
00:40:06Oh.
00:40:07Mr. Hubert,
00:40:08the market's reaction
00:40:09to this project
00:40:10has been lukewarm.
00:40:11Could this be
00:40:12a risky move?
00:40:13That may be,
00:40:14only if you believe
00:40:15that it is.
00:40:16All right.
00:40:17We'll follow his lead.
00:40:18Cath,
00:40:19will you please
00:40:20get the funds ready?
00:40:21Spare no expense,
00:40:23because we must secure
00:40:24exclusive rights
00:40:25to this project.
00:40:26Sure.
00:40:27I'll go do that now.
00:40:37It's bad.
00:40:40The Carter's luck
00:40:41has run out,
00:40:42and disaster
00:40:43is about to strike.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45Place the sign up high
00:40:46a little bit more.
00:40:47I want everyone
00:40:48in Silver Lake
00:40:49to know
00:40:49that our daughter's
00:40:50tying the knot
00:40:50with the press cots.
00:40:52Make sure it's
00:40:52decorated inside, too.
00:40:54Mom,
00:40:55don't you think
00:40:55that's enough?
00:40:56Going overboard
00:40:57isn't a good idea.
00:41:00Hmm?
00:41:17What is that loser
00:41:18doing here?
00:41:21What do you think
00:41:22you're doing here?
00:41:23Listen carefully.
00:41:24Claire and Jaden
00:41:25are getting married soon.
00:41:26Don't get in the way.
00:41:27Well, I can't just
00:41:28stand by and watch
00:41:29while old Mr. Carter's
00:41:30legacy crumbles.
00:41:31I am giving you
00:41:32one last chance
00:41:33to survive this.
00:41:35Look, Kyle.
00:41:36I've made up my mind
00:41:37to marry Jaden.
00:41:38You and I,
00:41:39it's over between us.
00:41:40Stop clinging to me
00:41:41and stop making up
00:41:42excuses to be with me.
00:41:43Don't worry.
00:41:44I'd never want to be
00:41:45with someone like you.
00:41:50This pendant I hold
00:41:51wards off evil.
00:41:52Take it.
00:41:53It might save your life.
00:41:54It's the last thing
00:41:55I can do
00:41:55for your grandfather.
00:42:02We don't want
00:42:03your pendant.
00:42:04Stop trying
00:42:04to scare us already.
00:42:05Now listen.
00:42:06Stay away
00:42:07from my daughter.
00:42:08If Jaden sees us,
00:42:09he might think
00:42:10Claire's still involved
00:42:11with a loser like you.
00:42:12You broke the pendant.
00:42:13All hope is gone.
00:42:15I did my best
00:42:15and my conscience
00:42:16is clear.
00:42:17So from now on,
00:42:18your family
00:42:19is no longer
00:42:20my concern.
00:42:21I wish you good luck.
00:42:22Hey, wait!
00:42:25Hey, wait!
00:42:28What is it now?
00:42:30Tell me.
00:42:31Where'd you get
00:42:31that car you're driving?
00:42:32As far as I'm concerned,
00:42:33we're done.
00:42:34I owe you nothing.
00:42:36Listen.
00:42:37Do you even know
00:42:38what you have?
00:42:38It's a limited edition.
00:42:40One of a kind
00:42:41in the whole world.
00:42:42I don't care.
00:42:43Look, Kyle.
00:42:44I'm going to be
00:42:45straight with you.
00:42:46I really couldn't care less
00:42:48if it's stolen
00:42:49or a rental
00:42:49or whatever scam you did
00:42:51to get your hands on it.
00:42:52For your sake,
00:42:53give it back to its owner
00:42:54before you end up
00:42:55behind bars.
00:42:55You actually think
00:42:56I'm a thief?
00:42:57Of course.
00:42:57What else?
00:42:58Now I get it.
00:43:00You heard it all over town
00:43:01that Clara's set
00:43:02to marry Jaden soon.
00:43:03So you decided
00:43:04to get a car
00:43:04that's impressive
00:43:05so you can put on a show.
00:43:07You're simply posturing.
00:43:10How pathetic.
00:43:11You are a poser.
00:43:12Listen.
00:43:13Everyone knows
00:43:14it's a fact
00:43:14that when you left us,
00:43:15you were completely broke.
00:43:17So why do this?
00:43:18Why fake it to impress me?
00:43:19It only makes you
00:43:20look even more desperate.
00:43:22You're right.
00:43:23The three-year pact is over.
00:43:24I'm done helping
00:43:25the Carter family.
00:43:26Quite frankly,
00:43:27I wish I'd never come here.
00:43:29Wait a sec.
00:43:30A rental car like that
00:43:32is at least
00:43:33ten grand a day.
00:43:34You didn't have a single penny
00:43:35when you left us.
00:43:37So where did the money
00:43:38come from?
00:43:39Unless you stole
00:43:40some money from us
00:43:41before you decided
00:43:42to leave.
00:43:42If you have any proof,
00:43:44then go call the cops.
00:43:52The nerve of that loser
00:43:53talking to me like that.
00:43:57The nerve of that loser
00:43:58talking to me like that.
00:44:00Once I find proof
00:44:00that he's been stealing,
00:44:02I'll make sure he rots
00:44:03in a cell
00:44:04for the rest of his life.
00:44:07I've searched the entire house
00:44:08from top to bottom,
00:44:09but nothing is missing.
00:44:11Claire,
00:44:11are you done checking
00:44:12the books yet?
00:44:13Did that loser
00:44:14skim anything
00:44:15from the budget?
00:44:16Mom,
00:44:17just take a look at this.
00:44:20What?
00:44:21Imported cherries,
00:44:221,000.
00:44:23Makeup,
00:44:245,000.
00:44:24Bills,
00:44:255,000.
00:44:26Now this can't be right.
00:44:28Over the years,
00:44:28we've given that loser
00:44:29hundreds of thousands
00:44:30of our money
00:44:31to do whatever he wanted.
00:44:32And he hasn't kept
00:44:33a single cent.
00:44:34He spent every dime
00:44:35on us, really?
00:44:36For three years,
00:44:37not a single cent
00:44:38of our money
00:44:38was ever spent
00:44:39on anything for him
00:44:41or his needs.
00:44:42His clothes
00:44:42and the shoes he wore
00:44:43were the same ones
00:44:45he brought with him
00:44:45when he arrived.
00:44:48Maybe I was
00:44:49overly cruel to him
00:44:50all along?
00:44:52He was silently
00:44:52sacrificing so much
00:44:54for this family.
00:45:22Hello?
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Kyle?
00:45:24Where are you?
00:45:26Get back here now!
00:45:27Listen, Claire.
00:45:27Have you forgotten?
00:45:28We're no longer engaged.
00:45:32There's a thunderstorm
00:45:33and I'm scared.
00:45:34And what has that
00:45:35got to do with me?
00:45:35In the past,
00:45:36you would always
00:45:37stay with me.
00:45:40Hey, Kyle.
00:45:41Thunder scares me.
00:45:42Come stay by my bed.
00:45:54So, Kyle,
00:45:55Kyle, could you maybe
00:45:56talk to me for now?
00:45:57Miss Carter,
00:45:58I suggest you call
00:45:59Jayden.
00:45:59He's your fiancé now,
00:46:01right?
00:46:02I...
00:46:03Unbelievable.
00:46:05How dare he hang up
00:46:07on me?
00:46:08Hmm.
00:46:09Hmm.
00:46:10Hmm.
00:46:16So, Kyle,
00:46:17you called me back.
00:46:18If you can apologize
00:46:19to me right now...
00:46:21Miss Carter,
00:46:21the South City's project
00:46:22is in trouble.
00:46:23What's that?
00:46:26Can you believe it?
00:46:27He's really audacious.
00:46:29Reports that
00:46:29the South City
00:46:30has just tested positive
00:46:31for toxic soil.
00:46:32The EPA has ordered
00:46:33for immediate shutdown.
00:46:37Fifty million!
00:46:39Everything that we have
00:46:40has now sunk
00:46:41into that hole!
00:46:45Dad!
00:46:46What are we to do now?
00:46:47We have to be strong!
00:46:48It's all because
00:46:49of that curse!
00:46:50I don't get it!
00:46:51The Master said
00:46:52our luck had finally turned!
00:46:54So how could this
00:46:55still be happening to us?
00:46:58Claire!
00:46:59Jayden!
00:47:00Go find Jayden right now!
00:47:01Only he can save us
00:47:02from this mess!
00:47:03He's right!
00:47:04Go quickly!
00:47:14Jayden!
00:47:14What's the word?
00:47:16Riverside Face One
00:47:17is now in the money pit.
00:47:18I'm afraid...
00:47:19But that's not
00:47:20what you promised me!
00:47:21You said
00:47:21that you would help us
00:47:23weather the storm!
00:47:25Claire!
00:47:26Please don't panic!
00:47:27We're getting married soon!
00:47:28I'm going to talk to my dad!
00:47:30I'm sure he wouldn't
00:47:31leave his future in-laws
00:47:32hanging like this!
00:47:34Really?
00:47:36Trust me!
00:47:37But if I ever lied!
00:47:39Once we get you pregnant,
00:47:40he'll have every reason
00:47:41to help bail out your family!
00:47:46He'll have every reason
00:47:47to help bail out your family!
00:47:53What the hell, Claire?
00:47:55We're about to get married
00:47:56and you're still cold towards me!
00:47:58Jayden!
00:47:58Given the situation,
00:47:59how's that even on your mind?
00:48:06Jayden!
00:48:07I'm sorry!
00:48:07The wedding is days away!
00:48:08I have too much on my plate!
00:48:09I have to go!
00:48:15Mr. Hubert, please!
00:48:24Grandpa!
00:48:27The investment paid off!
00:48:28It's skyrocketing!
00:48:29Oh, really?
00:48:31It was the one
00:48:32Mr. Hubert picked out!
00:48:33You really are a genius!
00:48:35Mr. Hubert,
00:48:36you've saved our family legacy!
00:48:38Please,
00:48:39accept my gratitude!
00:48:40There's no need for that!
00:48:42Wait until I've broken this curse
00:48:43before you thank me!
00:48:45I am in your debt!
00:48:47Mr. Hubert,
00:48:48I'm sorry!
00:48:49I never should have doubted you!
00:48:51Think nothing of it!
00:48:55Excuse me,
00:48:56this just arrived, sir!
00:48:57It's an invitation
00:48:58to depress cathedic!
00:48:59The Prescott's?
00:49:00They're patriarch
00:49:01and our schoolmates
00:49:02and our youth!
00:49:03For an occasion like this,
00:49:04I will have to be there
00:49:05in person!
00:49:06Listen,
00:49:07you're still fragile!
00:49:08I think
00:49:09you shouldn't go!
00:49:11I'll be fine,
00:49:12Mr. Hubert!
00:49:13I may be frail,
00:49:14but
00:49:14I can still manage
00:49:16a short trip
00:49:17like this one!
00:49:18The wedding you plan
00:49:19to attend
00:49:20isn't a celebration!
00:49:21It's a death trap!
00:49:22In the state you're in,
00:49:24it'll consume you!
00:49:25There will be no return!
00:49:31Mr. Hubert,
00:49:33the Carters
00:49:33were doing perfectly fine!
00:49:35How did something
00:49:35this series happen?
00:49:36They've already been plagued
00:49:38by misfortune
00:49:39three years ago.
00:49:40Old Mr. Carter
00:49:40used his life's merits
00:49:41to secure
00:49:42three years of protection.
00:49:44Now those three years
00:49:44are over,
00:49:45but the Carters
00:49:46showed no gratitude
00:49:46and doomed themselves.
00:49:48There's no way out of this.
00:49:49This misfortune
00:49:50will erupt in full.
00:49:51what exactly
00:49:52will happen to them?
00:49:53They will lose everything.
00:49:55Their bloodline
00:49:56will end.
00:49:56They will be wiped out.
00:49:59At this wedding event,
00:50:00there will be bloodshed.
00:50:02There...
00:50:03There will be bloodshed?
00:50:05If the Prescott's
00:50:06are with the Carters,
00:50:07won't they be dragged into it?
00:50:08Jaden already added
00:50:09his name to the
00:50:10Carter genealogy.
00:50:11His fate is now
00:50:12tied to theirs.
00:50:13He won't be able
00:50:13to escape
00:50:14the Carter's misfortune.
00:50:18Dad,
00:50:19didn't you say
00:50:20that once I started
00:50:20a family,
00:50:21you'd let me invest
00:50:22in the port project?
00:50:23Why'd you change
00:50:24your mind now?
00:50:25Ha!
00:50:27The port project?
00:50:28Haven't you already
00:50:29done enough
00:50:29to ruin our family?
00:50:33Look at the projects
00:50:34you previously handled.
00:50:35Every single one of them
00:50:37ended in total loss.
00:50:38How dare you bring up
00:50:39investments with me?
00:50:46How is this possible?
00:50:47How could every project
00:50:48end in failure?
00:50:52Why was I given a son
00:50:53as hopeless as you?
00:50:54Our entire family fortune
00:50:56will be squandered
00:50:57by you soon enough!
00:50:58Dad,
00:50:59these project problems
00:51:00were all acts of nature
00:51:02and accidents.
00:51:03They were all
00:51:03beyond my control!
00:51:04Beyond your control,
00:51:06ever since you
00:51:07joined the company,
00:51:08every project you handled
00:51:09has had issues.
00:51:11You overreach
00:51:11but underperform.
00:51:12You won't take any advice.
00:51:14You're always rushing
00:51:14and restless,
00:51:15looking for shortcuts.
00:51:16And even if these
00:51:17projects didn't fail
00:51:19with your character,
00:51:20we'd all be ruined
00:51:21sooner or later.
00:51:22Dad,
00:51:22please give me
00:51:23one more chance.
00:51:24Just trust me again.
00:51:26There's the
00:51:26Silver Lake Merchant Alliance.
00:51:28If I can secure
00:51:29a port project,
00:51:30I'll be guaranteed profit.
00:51:31Please give me
00:51:32this one chance.
00:51:36That port project
00:51:37will be a tough one.
00:51:38All eyes are on it.
00:51:40If you fail again,
00:51:42it won't be just you.
00:51:43Our whole family
00:51:44will be affected
00:51:44and dragged into the abyss
00:51:46never to recover.
00:51:47Dad,
00:51:48don't you worry.
00:51:49I stayed up for
00:51:49three nights straight
00:51:50to do research
00:51:51on this project.
00:51:52I've secured
00:51:52every single channel.
00:51:54I checked every risk
00:51:55multiple times
00:51:55just to make sure.
00:51:57If I secure it,
00:51:58I'll be very profitable.
00:51:59I can fully restore
00:52:00our family
00:52:01and bring you honor.
00:52:02This is your last chance,
00:52:04Jaden.
00:52:04It's also
00:52:05our family's last chance.
00:52:12Oh,
00:52:13do it there.
00:52:14Stick it there.
00:52:14Maybe half an inch
00:52:15to the left.
00:52:18That's it.
00:52:19This wedding sign
00:52:20must be placed
00:52:21perfectly straight
00:52:22because it can
00:52:22bring good luck.
00:52:27Oh no,
00:52:29Claire dear.
00:52:29Please stop pacing around.
00:52:31You're making me dizzy.
00:52:32You two may leave now.
00:52:37Come on.
00:52:38Don't worry so much,
00:52:39huh?
00:52:40I mean,
00:52:40Jaden already promised us,
00:52:41didn't he?
00:52:42That he'll help
00:52:43our family clean up
00:52:44our mess concerning
00:52:44the South City project,
00:52:46right?
00:52:46But mom,
00:52:47this time it's different.
00:52:48The project involves
00:52:49several partners.
00:52:50The losses are huge.
00:52:52I'm afraid it's too much,
00:52:53even for the Prescott's.
00:52:54Oh no,
00:52:55stop your worrying,
00:52:56my darling.
00:52:57Your fiancé has
00:52:58powerful connections.
00:52:59And oh,
00:53:00someone like
00:53:00old Mr. Sinclair
00:53:01came just to visit him.
00:53:02He's going to help
00:53:03our family get through
00:53:04this, okay?
00:53:06Come on now,
00:53:07don't overthink
00:53:08things, all right?
00:53:09Just focus on being
00:53:10the most beautiful bride.
00:53:12Dress and accessorize well,
00:53:13that's the key, dear.
00:53:15Hold on tight to that
00:53:16Jaden Prescott of yours.
00:53:17And then there's
00:53:18nothing to worry about,
00:53:19right?
00:53:23Yes?
00:53:24Mrs. and Ms. Carter,
00:53:25the costume wedding
00:53:25candies arrived.
00:53:27The candies are here, dear.
00:53:30Mom, you know,
00:53:31I had these specially
00:53:32ordered from Bell Ridge.
00:53:33They're made
00:53:34with the finest cocoa.
00:53:35Try one.
00:53:36Well, of course,
00:53:36I'm going to try one.
00:53:39Hmm.
00:53:48What is this awful thing?
00:53:51What is this awful thing?
00:53:52Mom, what's wrong?
00:53:53Are you all right?
00:53:54This candy is disgusting.
00:53:55It tastes like mold.
00:53:57Is it expired or what?
00:53:59What's going on?
00:54:00How could the candies
00:54:01be expired?
00:54:02Ms. Carter,
00:54:02I don't know either.
00:54:04They just arrived.
00:54:04They couldn't have expired.
00:54:06You idiot.
00:54:06Somebody must have
00:54:07tampered with it.
00:54:08And that's why
00:54:09this just happened.
00:54:10Mom, please calm down.
00:54:12Go bring us another batch.
00:54:14You listen to me.
00:54:15If the same thing
00:54:15happens at the wedding,
00:54:16I'll make sure
00:54:17you pay for it.
00:54:21Madam, Mrs. Carter,
00:54:23the custom veil
00:54:24has arrived.
00:54:24The one hand
00:54:25made by the Montalee designer.
00:54:26Oh, that's wonderful.
00:54:27It finally arrived.
00:54:29We had to use
00:54:29many connections
00:54:30to secure this veil
00:54:31for your wedding.
00:54:32Claire, go ahead
00:54:33and open it.
00:54:34Try it on now.
00:54:35Go.
00:54:40Mom, why is there blood
00:54:42on the veil?
00:54:45Look, there's blood
00:54:46all over this veil.
00:54:48Why the hell
00:54:49is there blood
00:54:49on that veil?
00:54:50Madam, I don't know either.
00:54:52I never even opened it.
00:54:53It was delivered like that.
00:54:55This is bad luck.
00:54:57Really bad.
00:54:57Hurry and burn it now.
00:54:59Then order a new one.
00:55:11It was fine
00:55:12when you checked
00:55:12it upon delivery.
00:55:14So what happened?
00:55:15Blood on a wedding veil
00:55:16is a bad omen.
00:55:17What if something
00:55:18happens at the wedding?
00:55:19Hey, keep it down.
00:55:20If Mrs. Carter hears,
00:55:22you and I are finished.
00:55:23Let's just go.
00:55:25Mom,
00:55:26there have been
00:55:26so many bad signs.
00:55:28Should I really proceed
00:55:29with my marriage
00:55:30with Jaden?
00:55:30Stop that.
00:55:31The master said
00:55:32you can only remove
00:55:32this bad luck completely
00:55:33by marrying him.
00:55:37Once you marry
00:55:38Jaden Prescott,
00:55:39your life will be good again, huh?
00:55:41Stop overthinking things,
00:55:43all right?
00:55:44Hey!
00:55:44You can't place
00:55:45that thing right there.
00:55:46Stop!
00:55:56It's Jaden.
00:55:59Jaden,
00:55:59how'd it go?
00:56:00Did your dad agree
00:56:01to help my family?
00:56:04Look, Claire,
00:56:05we've run into
00:56:06some trouble too.
00:56:07We can't help
00:56:07your family now.
00:56:08What?
00:56:09But you really
00:56:10can't do anything?
00:56:11But don't worry.
00:56:13Once I secure
00:56:13the port project,
00:56:14I'll help the corridors
00:56:15get back on its feet.
00:56:16Are you serious?
00:56:17Of course I'm serious.
00:56:19For this project,
00:56:20I know my dad
00:56:20will fully support me
00:56:21and I'm completely confident
00:56:22it'll be profitable.
00:56:24But then...
00:56:25No room for doubts.
00:56:27Just trust me.
00:56:27And right now,
00:56:28there's something
00:56:29more important to think of.
00:56:30What is it?
00:56:31You and I still need
00:56:32to pick out
00:56:32our engagement rings.
00:56:34After all,
00:56:34our wedding day
00:56:35can't have room
00:56:36for mistakes.
00:56:39Engagement rings?
00:56:46Kyle, what are you
00:56:48doing here?
00:56:48Didn't I tell you
00:56:49before you can't
00:56:50come into my room
00:56:51without asking
00:56:51for my permission?
00:56:53I knocked.
00:56:53You did not respond.
00:56:54In that case,
00:56:55can't you just leave?
00:56:56Why are you still here?
00:56:59Wait.
00:57:00What do you have
00:57:01in your hand?
00:57:04This is for you.
00:57:11This ring is...
00:57:12I don't understand
00:57:13human customs,
00:57:14but I heard
00:57:14engaged couples
00:57:16exchange rings.
00:57:22Didn't you know, Kyle?
00:57:23This diamond is less
00:57:24than one carat.
00:57:25It's just a small stone
00:57:26within my circle.
00:57:28I can't show this off
00:57:29because it's not worth much.
00:57:30Sorry.
00:57:31I didn't know about that.
00:57:32I just thought that
00:57:33it looked nice.
00:57:35Forget it.
00:57:36There's no point
00:57:36in explaining.
00:57:37After all,
00:57:38even a small diamond
00:57:39must have been
00:57:40hard for you to buy.
00:57:42I actually saved up
00:57:43for it.
00:57:44You mean you saved
00:57:45every cent of your
00:57:46allowance which I gave you
00:57:47just to buy me
00:57:48this engagement ring?
00:57:49Mm-hmm.
00:57:50If you don't like it,
00:57:51I can keep saving
00:57:52until I can afford
00:57:54a bigger one.
00:57:55One in a style
00:57:56that you prefer.
00:57:57Forget it.
00:57:58I don't wear rings anyway.
00:58:07Oh, Kyle.
00:58:09You were actually
00:58:10very kind towards me.
00:58:12If only
00:58:13you came from
00:58:14a rich family.
00:58:15Or if you were
00:58:16more accomplished.
00:58:19Perhaps
00:58:19we wouldn't have
00:58:20broken off
00:58:21our engagement.
00:58:31Hi, Kyle.
00:58:33It's me.
00:58:35Hi, Kyle.
00:58:37It's me.
00:58:38What do you want?
00:58:39What do you mean by that?
00:58:40Why are you
00:58:41so impatient with me?
00:58:43Claire,
00:58:44what is it
00:58:44that you want to say?
00:58:46You didn't take
00:58:47your engagement ring back.
00:58:49That was a gift
00:58:49for you.
00:58:50Do what you want
00:58:51with it.
00:58:52I'm getting married
00:58:53in a few days.
00:58:54I called to invite
00:58:55you to my wedding.
00:58:57Miss Carter,
00:58:58inviting your ex-fiance
00:58:59to your wedding
00:59:00hardly seems appropriate.
00:59:02Look, Kyle.
00:59:03Do you really have
00:59:04to speak in such
00:59:04a sarcastic way?
00:59:05I'm inviting you
00:59:06only because
00:59:07I wanted us
00:59:08to part in good terms.
00:59:09Must you be this way?
00:59:10Miss Carter,
00:59:11thank you for your kindness.
00:59:12But I won't be
00:59:13attending your wedding.
00:59:14Take care now.
00:59:26Seriously?
00:59:27You actually
00:59:28blocked me, Kyle?
00:59:32Mr. Hubert,
00:59:34why'd you throw away
00:59:34your phone?
00:59:35I don't need it.
00:59:37Who can even live
00:59:38without a phone
00:59:39these days?
00:59:39I kept the phone
00:59:40so she could contact me
00:59:42in case of any danger.
00:59:43But now,
00:59:45I don't need it.
00:59:47She?
00:59:49Is this woman
00:59:50your girlfriend?
00:59:52Is this woman
00:59:53your girlfriend?
00:59:55She's not important.
00:59:58Good to know.
00:59:59Mr. Hubert
01:00:00doesn't have a girlfriend.
01:00:02Miss Ashford,
01:00:03can I help you?
01:00:05Mr. Hubert,
01:00:06there's a
01:00:06Silver Lake Merchant Alliance.
01:00:08I'd like for you
01:00:08to accompany me.
01:00:10Yes, of course.
01:00:11With your family's
01:00:12current fortune,
01:00:13the project you secure
01:00:14tomorrow
01:00:15could bring your family
01:00:16to ruin.
01:00:17Huh?
01:00:18Really?
01:00:19Don't worry.
01:00:21If I go with you,
01:00:22it'll be resolved.
01:00:23That's good then.
01:00:30Miss Ashford,
01:00:31is there anything else?
01:00:34Well, Mr. Hubert,
01:00:36could you also
01:00:37accompany me
01:00:38shopping?
01:00:40Shopping?
01:00:41Yeah.
01:00:42The Alliance requires
01:00:43formal wear.
01:00:43I need to help you
01:00:44pick out a proper suit
01:00:45for tomorrow.
01:00:47Sure, thanks.
01:00:56Hi, sir.
01:00:57Please bring out
01:00:58every formal suit
01:00:59in the store
01:00:59that can fit
01:01:00Mr. Hubert.
01:01:00Yes, of course.
01:01:03Miss Ashford,
01:01:04there's no need
01:01:04for that.
01:01:05Mr. Hubert,
01:01:06you've helped
01:01:06my family a lot.
01:01:07It's only right
01:01:08that we take care
01:01:09of you.
01:01:10I'll pick out
01:01:11your suit.
01:01:21Is that you, Kyle?
01:01:24Is that you, Kyle?
01:01:30Hi, Kyle.
01:01:31I didn't expect
01:01:31I'd run into you here.
01:01:33I didn't expect
01:01:34I'd run into you either.
01:01:35Why'd you block
01:01:36my number?
01:01:36Do you hate me
01:01:37that much?
01:01:38Don't overthink it.
01:01:39My ties with the Carters
01:01:40are done.
01:01:41There's no reason
01:01:41to stay in contact.
01:01:43You only say that
01:01:45because you still resent me.
01:01:46I admit,
01:01:47looking back now,
01:01:48I wasn't very nice to you.
01:01:50You're very honest
01:01:51and your cooking
01:01:52is far better
01:01:52than the others.
01:01:53However,
01:01:57your kindness
01:01:58just wasn't enough.
01:01:59You couldn't help
01:02:00me restore my family.
01:02:02What I needed
01:02:02was someone
01:02:03who could
01:02:03elevate our status.
01:02:06I hope you understand
01:02:08and you don't blame me.
01:02:11Congrats on finding
01:02:12someone who can elevate you.
01:02:13In that case,
01:02:14we have no reason
01:02:15to keep in touch.
01:02:16But Kyle,
01:02:18I'm about to get married
01:02:20for the three years
01:02:21we shared together.
01:02:22Couldn't you at least
01:02:23give me your blessing?
01:02:25For the sake
01:02:26of those three years,
01:02:27I'll give you some advice.
01:02:29Be careful
01:02:29on your wedding day.
01:02:31What do you mean by that?
01:02:32Are you trying
01:02:33to curse me?
01:02:35It's not a curse.
01:02:37It's advice.
01:02:38You're on your own now.
01:02:39You!
01:02:40Mr. Hubert,
01:02:41I pick out some suits.
01:02:42See which one
01:02:43you like best.
01:02:47Who are you?
01:02:49Kyle?
01:02:49Mr. Hubert,
01:02:50who is she?
01:02:52She's my former employer
01:02:53and I was her driver.
01:02:56Driver?
01:02:57Mr. Hubert,
01:02:58you worked as a driver?
01:03:00Hey, Kyle,
01:03:01what are you trying to say
01:03:02by talking like that?
01:03:03Why don't you
01:03:03admit our relationship?
01:03:05Wasn't that how
01:03:05you used to introduce
01:03:06me to others?
01:03:07Now it is as you wished.
01:03:10As I wished, huh?
01:03:12Or are you simply
01:03:13too afraid
01:03:13to tell this woman
01:03:14about us?
01:03:15Are you afraid
01:03:15that I'll ruin your plans?
01:03:18I understand now.
01:03:20Those three years
01:03:21we were together,
01:03:21no matter how I treated you,
01:03:23you wouldn't end
01:03:23the engagement.
01:03:24But then,
01:03:25you suddenly agreed
01:03:26to end everything.
01:03:27Was it because
01:03:28of this woman?
01:03:29What nonsense
01:03:30are you saying?
01:03:31Claire,
01:03:32you should know
01:03:33better than anyone
01:03:34why we ended
01:03:35the engagement.
01:03:36Ended the engagement?
01:03:38Is she your ex-wife?
01:03:42I'm so sorry
01:03:43for this misunderstanding.
01:03:45It's nothing.
01:03:46It's just,
01:03:47I didn't expect
01:03:47you to be married.
01:03:49We were engaged,
01:03:50but that's been severed.
01:03:51We have...
01:03:52Miss Garter,
01:03:54I truly envy you.
01:03:55You were with Mr. Hubert
01:03:56for three years.
01:03:57It's a pity.
01:03:58You didn't appreciate
01:03:59what he had there.
01:04:00What?
01:04:03You...
01:04:03Huh?
01:04:07Claire?
01:04:11I'm sorry,
01:04:12I kept you waiting.
01:04:13Let's go pick out
01:04:14the rings.
01:04:14All right.
01:04:16Oh,
01:04:16what was that loser
01:04:17doing here?
01:04:18He latched onto
01:04:19another woman?
01:04:22He said
01:04:23that they were
01:04:23just friends.
01:04:25Come on, Claire.
01:04:26Only you would have
01:04:27believed that nonsense,
01:04:27he says.
01:04:28However,
01:04:29I have to admit,
01:04:30Kyle is a very clever man.
01:04:32He found himself
01:04:32a new rich woman.
01:04:34Just after breaking up
01:04:35with you,
01:04:35he bounced right back
01:04:36with someone else.
01:04:37He's someone
01:04:38who mooches off others.
01:04:40Kyle,
01:04:41have you really fallen
01:04:42for someone else?
01:04:45Mr. Prescott,
01:04:46Ms. Carter,
01:04:47this diamond ring
01:04:48is our store's
01:04:48prize piece,
01:04:49the Starlight Kiss.
01:04:50I think it suits
01:04:51your elegance perfectly.
01:04:56How is it?
01:04:57Do you like it?
01:04:59I like it a lot.
01:05:01It's just...
01:05:02It's a bit too large.
01:05:04Ms. Carter,
01:05:05we sponsored
01:05:05this ring for you
01:05:06and Mr. Prescott
01:05:07for your grand wedding.
01:05:08The event will surely
01:05:10capture the attention
01:05:11of all the city's media.
01:05:13This kind of publicity
01:05:14is far better
01:05:14than hiring a celebrity.
01:05:17You're saying
01:05:18this ring is just on loan?
01:05:19Look, Claire,
01:05:20our wedding is
01:05:21under a spotlight.
01:05:22This could become
01:05:23very profitable.
01:05:24Are you actually using
01:05:26our wedding
01:05:26for marketing?
01:05:30Claire,
01:05:31come on.
01:05:31Don't say that.
01:05:32This is how we're going
01:05:34to show the world
01:05:34our happiness.
01:05:36This ring right here
01:05:37isn't just my promise
01:05:38to you.
01:05:38But also a symbol
01:05:39for tomorrow's alliance.
01:05:41I want everyone
01:05:41who looks down
01:05:42on the corridors
01:05:42to know
01:05:43that my family
01:05:44still values yours.
01:05:45But then...
01:05:48Claire,
01:05:49the alliance
01:05:50is tomorrow.
01:05:51Once I secure
01:05:51the port project,
01:05:52I can help your family
01:05:53and clear your debts.
01:05:56All right.
01:05:57I trust you.
01:06:06Mr. Prescott and Ms. Carter,
01:06:09a perfect match.
01:06:10It seems that the port project
01:06:11is certain to be yours.
01:06:13Oh, well, of course.
01:06:14With Mr. Prescott leading,
01:06:16what project cannot be won?
01:06:18Today, the two of us
01:06:19can only watch
01:06:19from the sidelines.
01:06:25What the hell
01:06:26is that loser
01:06:27doing here?
01:06:29Isn't that Cath,
01:06:30Mr. Ashford's granddaughter?
01:06:32The Ashford's
01:06:32are almost bankrupt.
01:06:33So what are they
01:06:34doing here?
01:06:35It seems the alliance
01:06:36standards are really
01:06:37hitting an all-time low.
01:06:39Even freeloading losers
01:06:40can now attend
01:06:41just like that.
01:06:43Security!
01:06:44Why are you letting
01:06:45just anyone walk in
01:06:46without checking?
01:06:47Any random person
01:06:48can just walk in now?
01:06:49What the hell?
01:06:50Mr. Hubert's
01:06:51my family's
01:06:52investment advisor.
01:06:53Try to show some respect.
01:06:55Investment advisor?
01:06:57Hey, Kyle,
01:06:58did you fabricate
01:06:58your resume
01:06:59just to get a job?
01:07:00Investment advisor?
01:07:01Investment advisor?
01:07:03Ms. Ashford,
01:07:04no wonder your family's
01:07:05failing at everything.
01:07:06You actually hired
01:07:07this loser
01:07:08as your investment advisor?
01:07:09Ms. Ashford,
01:07:10there is no need
01:07:11to argue with him.
01:07:12Ms. Ashford,
01:07:13I must remind you,
01:07:15investing isn't a game,
01:07:16so choose
01:07:17your advisor carefully.
01:07:19I fully trust
01:07:19Mr. Hubert,
01:07:20but Ms. Carter,
01:07:22the one who needs
01:07:23to be careful here
01:07:24is you.
01:07:25Hey,
01:07:26we have business
01:07:27to attend to.
01:07:34We welcome
01:07:35all business elites
01:07:36to the Silver Lake
01:07:37Merchant Alliance.
01:07:38All right, then.
01:07:39We shall officially
01:07:40begin the project bidding
01:07:41right now.
01:07:42Just raise your cards
01:07:42to submit your bids.
01:07:47Jaden,
01:07:48I didn't expect
01:07:49the port project's
01:07:50returns to be so high.
01:07:51Do your best.
01:07:52You have to win this.
01:07:54Don't you worry.
01:07:56This port project
01:07:57is mine's win.
01:07:58I've already asked
01:07:59my dad to prepare
01:08:00the funds.
01:08:01No one can compete
01:08:02with us.
01:08:04Mr. Hubert,
01:08:05there are too many
01:08:06projects listed.
01:08:07Which one do you think
01:08:08is worth investing in?
01:08:09Given my family situation,
01:08:11we can't afford mistakes.
01:08:12Go choose the last one.
01:08:13After tomorrow,
01:08:17it'll surely rise.
01:08:23Hey, everyone.
01:08:25That's the mastermind
01:08:26the Ashford's hired
01:08:27for investment advice.
01:08:28Apparently,
01:08:29he thinks investing
01:08:29is just bargain hunting
01:08:30for the cheapest produce
01:08:32at the farmer's market.
01:08:34Miss Ashford,
01:08:35if you really will
01:08:36take his advice
01:08:37and buy that junk stock,
01:08:38you just might lose
01:08:40every penny you put in.
01:08:41I trust Mr. Hubert's
01:08:42eye for a good deal.
01:08:43Poor Miss Ashford.
01:08:45You don't really believe
01:08:46a word he says,
01:08:47do you?
01:08:47Everyone knows about
01:08:48StarTech in this industry.
01:08:50They're buried in debt
01:08:51and lagging in tech,
01:08:52yet he claims he'll
01:08:52search by tomorrow?
01:08:54That's extremely low level
01:08:56of incompetence
01:08:57for an advisor,
01:08:58I'd say.
01:09:00Exactly.
01:09:01Jayden has over a decade
01:09:03of business experience.
01:09:04He's seen everything already.
01:09:05His eye for investments
01:09:07is far sharper than most.
01:09:08Kyle, on the other hand,
01:09:10has never held down a job
01:09:11unless playing chef
01:09:12at home counts.
01:09:13Miss Ashford,
01:09:14if you do follow his advice,
01:09:16you're bound to lose everything.
01:09:18The Ashford's must be desperate
01:09:19if they're counting on
01:09:20a fraud to save them.
01:09:22Looks like they're really
01:09:23on their last legs.
01:09:24No kidding.
01:09:26Investing in that dying company
01:09:27is a recipe for disaster.
01:09:29It's a total money pit.
01:09:30The Ashford's are about
01:09:31to blow their last bit
01:09:32of capital.
01:09:35I'm standing by Mr. Huber,
01:09:37representing the Ashfords.
01:09:39We will now bid
01:09:39and subscribe to the full stake
01:09:41in Star Tech Project.
01:09:43Miss Ashford,
01:09:44I think you're gonna regret this.
01:09:46Don't worry,
01:09:47you'll be glad you did.
01:09:48I trust you.
01:09:49Claire,
01:09:51if they're eager
01:09:52to walk into disaster,
01:09:53then that's their choice.
01:09:55Focus on securing
01:09:55the port project,
01:09:56then we'll show them
01:09:58what a proper investment
01:09:59really looks like.
01:10:02On behalf of the Prescott's,
01:10:04I'm bidding 200 million
01:10:06for the port project.
01:10:10300 million.
01:10:11400 million.
01:10:13500.
01:10:14600.
01:10:17Oh, wow.
01:10:18They just won't give up anymore.
01:10:20The Prescott's will be taking
01:10:21the entire port project
01:10:22and pay a 20% premium as well.
01:10:27Did he say 20%?
01:10:28He's offering 20 extra?
01:10:30That's a lot, right?
01:10:32Mr. Jaden Prescott
01:10:34now has a full stake bid
01:10:35and a 20% markup.
01:10:37Any advance on his offer?
01:10:41Deal closed.
01:10:49Now that they have landed
01:10:50the project,
01:10:52the Prescott's are set for success.
01:10:54That venture might seem lucrative,
01:10:55but it is riddled with risks.
01:10:57It ties up huge amounts of capital
01:10:59and takes forever to pay off.
01:11:01The Prescott's just
01:11:02set themselves up to fail
01:11:04by going all in.
01:11:09Impressive as always.
01:11:10Now that you've secured
01:11:11a port project,
01:11:12your family is bound
01:11:13for greatness.
01:11:14You've now set the stage
01:11:15for a new era of glory.
01:11:16Yes, indeed.
01:11:18Jaden,
01:11:18your caliber's unmatched
01:11:19for someone your age.
01:11:20Our family's future
01:11:22is in very good hands.
01:11:23Mr. and Mrs. Carter,
01:11:25you flatter me.
01:11:26Claire and I
01:11:26will be married soon,
01:11:28which means
01:11:28we'll all be family.
01:11:29I'll make sure
01:11:30that everyone gets
01:11:31a piece of the pie, huh?
01:11:33That means our family
01:11:34finally has hope.
01:11:35Come on,
01:11:36let's all toast to Jaden.
01:11:37Here.
01:11:39Cheers.
01:11:45Hello?
01:11:49What's that?
01:11:50See that again?
01:11:51The regulators are investigating
01:11:52the port project
01:11:53and our stock
01:11:54splashed by percent?
01:11:58Jaden,
01:11:58what the heck's going on?
01:12:00I thought
01:12:00the project was solid.
01:12:02Why the regulatory scrutiny?
01:12:03The stock dipped by five percent?
01:12:05This is just day one!
01:12:07Mr. and Mrs. Carter,
01:12:09Claire,
01:12:10please don't panic.
01:12:11This is just temporary.
01:12:12Someone's trying to sabotage
01:12:14the family's momentum
01:12:15by releasing this kind
01:12:16of bad press.
01:12:17The regulatory review
01:12:18is minor.
01:12:19It'll be over quickly.
01:12:20The project's upside
01:12:21remains substantial.
01:12:23Oh, yes.
01:12:25Yes, that's right.
01:12:26You do make a good point.
01:12:27It's just a small hiccup.
01:12:29There's nothing to worry about.
01:12:31Come on now.
01:12:31Let's get back to the toast.
01:12:33Don't let this little thing
01:12:33ruin the party.
01:12:35Yes, cheers.
01:12:45Grandpa!
01:12:46Grandpa!
01:12:47Mr. Hubert,
01:12:48great news.
01:12:49Our StarTech investment
01:12:50just got its first major tailwind.
01:12:52In what way?
01:12:52Let's hear it.
01:12:54StarTech's been included
01:12:55in a government-backed
01:12:56development program
01:12:57and its shares are now
01:12:58up to three percent.
01:12:59Mr. Hubert,
01:13:01I'm impressed
01:13:01you really called this one.
01:13:03I never expected
01:13:03such good news
01:13:04and it's only been a day.
01:13:06Mr. Hubert,
01:13:07it's incredible.
01:13:08A three percent gain
01:13:09in a single day.
01:13:10At this rate,
01:13:11I think that
01:13:11our family
01:13:12will recover in no time.
01:13:14Don't settle yet.
01:13:15There will be more to come.
01:13:17Soon enough,
01:13:17StarTech will roll out
01:13:18a major tech breakthrough.
01:13:19And that
01:13:21is when the real rally
01:13:22begins for us.
01:13:23Also,
01:13:24I just heard
01:13:24the Port Project
01:13:25is under investigation
01:13:26and their stock
01:13:27already dropped five percent.
01:13:29Serves them right.
01:13:30If only they had taken
01:13:31Mr. Hubert's advice
01:13:33instead of going all in,
01:13:34they wouldn't be
01:13:35in this mess.
01:13:36That project
01:13:37will take a major hit
01:13:38tomorrow
01:13:39and it's only going
01:13:40to get worse
01:13:42from there.
01:13:43Tomorrow?
01:13:44Isn't that
01:13:45also Jaden and Claire's
01:13:46wedding day
01:13:47if the stack tanks
01:13:48on the same day?
01:13:49Do you think
01:13:50that ceremony
01:13:51will even take place?
01:13:54Thank you,
01:13:55thank you.
01:13:56Congratulations.
01:13:57Congratulations.
01:13:58So happy for you guys.
01:14:00Honey,
01:14:01what a turnout.
01:14:03Look,
01:14:03these are all
01:14:04the biggest names
01:14:04in all of Silver Lake.
01:14:06Now that the Prescott's
01:14:07have our back,
01:14:08I'd like to see anyone
01:14:08try to talk smack
01:14:09about us.
01:14:11Hey,
01:14:11I heard through
01:14:13the grapevine
01:14:13that Mr. Sinclair's
01:14:15is officiating
01:14:16the ceremony.
01:14:17Jaden must have
01:14:17serious influence.
01:14:19Mr. Sinclair
01:14:20is a powerhouse
01:14:21in Silver Lake.
01:14:22Most people never
01:14:23get the chance
01:14:23to see him.
01:14:24I'm quite shocked
01:14:25Jaden got him
01:14:26to come.
01:14:27Yeah,
01:14:27I know,
01:14:27right?
01:14:28With his background,
01:14:29Mr. Sinclair's usually
01:14:30impossible to get
01:14:31for a private invite.
01:14:32To think Jaden
01:14:33could actually
01:14:34get someone like him
01:14:35to show up.
01:14:36I guess this goes
01:14:37to show
01:14:37his family's
01:14:38untouchable now.
01:14:40It's all thanks
01:14:41to Jaden's
01:14:42connections.
01:14:43Mr. Sinclair
01:14:44wouldn't have
01:14:44agreed to officiate
01:14:45otherwise.
01:14:47He's coming
01:14:47to officiate for me?
01:14:49Is that for real?
01:14:50Of course it's real.
01:14:51Mr. Sinclair
01:14:52is coming strictly
01:14:53on your account,
01:14:54you know.
01:14:54Old man's
01:14:55coming on my account?
01:14:56Mr. Sinclair's here.
01:15:05Welcome.
01:15:06Welcome,
01:15:06Mr. Sinclair.
01:15:07Congratulations,
01:15:07Mr. and Miss Carter.
01:15:09You know,
01:15:10having someone
01:15:11like you
01:15:11to officiate
01:15:12is a tremendous
01:15:13turn.
01:15:13To even be
01:15:13invited here.
01:15:18I've brought
01:15:18with me
01:15:19a small gift
01:15:19to give
01:15:20to the lovely
01:15:20couple.
01:15:21Please accept it
01:15:22with my best wishes.
01:15:24May they have
01:15:24a lifetime
01:15:24of happiness.
01:15:26That's an exquisite
01:15:27piece of premium
01:15:27Jade.
01:15:28Mr. Sinclair
01:15:29really went
01:15:30all out
01:15:30just for
01:15:31the Prescott's.
01:15:32What a statement
01:15:33that makes.
01:15:34The Prescott's
01:15:34and Carter's
01:15:35are surely
01:15:35headed for
01:15:36the big leagues
01:15:37now.
01:15:37With a blessing
01:15:38like that,
01:15:39their standing
01:15:39in the city
01:15:40is rock solid
01:15:41without a doubt.
01:15:44Oh,
01:15:45Claire,
01:15:46Jaden,
01:15:46come over
01:15:47and pay your respects.
01:15:48Such incredible
01:15:48generosity
01:15:49from someone
01:15:50of his stature
01:15:50deserves a proper
01:15:51thing.
01:15:52Thank you
01:15:52for doing me
01:15:53the honor
01:15:53of officiating
01:15:54and for such
01:15:55a precious
01:15:56wedding gift.
01:15:57If you ever
01:15:58need a hand
01:15:58with anything,
01:15:59just let me know,
01:16:00sir.
01:16:00Who are you?
01:16:06This isn't right.
01:16:07Isn't Mr. Sinclair
01:16:08here for Jaden?
01:16:09How come he
01:16:09doesn't seem
01:16:10to know him?
01:16:11Did we get it
01:16:12wrong somehow?
01:16:12Maybe we did.
01:16:14All he said
01:16:14was he came
01:16:15for our son-in-law.
01:16:16Mr. Sinclair,
01:16:17my name's Jaden.
01:16:18I'm a Silver Lake Prescott,
01:16:20son of the richest man.
01:16:21I just secured
01:16:21the port project.
01:16:22Maybe you've
01:16:23heard of it?
01:16:27Mr. and Mrs. Carter,
01:16:29I hope you wouldn't
01:16:30mind if I ask.
01:16:31Isn't your son-in-law
01:16:33really,
01:16:33Mr. Hubert?
01:16:35Oh,
01:16:37Mr. Sinclair,
01:16:38are you referring
01:16:38to Kyle?
01:16:39Oh, well,
01:16:40he's not our son-in-law
01:16:41anymore.
01:16:41Three years ago,
01:16:42he got engaged
01:16:43to Claire.
01:16:44That's right.
01:16:45That was my dad's call.
01:16:47A muddle-headed decision
01:16:48before he died.
01:16:49Luckily,
01:16:49that engagement
01:16:50was dissolved.
01:16:51That's right.
01:16:52We already kicked
01:16:53him out of our home.
01:16:54That loser
01:16:55freeloaded,
01:16:56and he got to do it
01:16:56for three whole years.
01:16:58He's completely useless.
01:17:00You broke off
01:17:00the engagement
01:17:01with Mr. Hubert?
01:17:02Why, yes,
01:17:03of course.
01:17:03What's the point
01:17:04of keeping that loser
01:17:05around right now?
01:17:06Claire has Mr. Prescott.
01:17:08It's best for the
01:17:08Carters and the Prescott
01:17:09to join forces.
01:17:11Mr. Sinclair,
01:17:12why are you
01:17:12asking about
01:17:13that loser?
01:17:15Why did you hit him?
01:17:16Who do you think
01:17:17you are
01:17:18to call Mr. Hubert
01:17:19a loser?
01:17:22Why did you hit him?
01:17:23Mr. Sinclair,
01:17:24what is your relationship
01:17:25with that big loser?
01:17:26Why would you stand up
01:17:27for him?
01:17:28Isn't he just
01:17:29some poor guy?
01:17:30What's so special
01:17:30about him, huh?
01:17:32Mr. Hubert's
01:17:33my benefactor.
01:17:34I happen to revere
01:17:35him like a god.
01:17:37You people
01:17:38didn't recognize
01:17:39his eminence.
01:17:40You didn't respect
01:17:40him at all.
01:17:41You fools!
01:17:45Mr. Sinclair,
01:17:47what's going on?
01:17:48Could it be
01:17:49that he didn't
01:17:50come here for Jaden?
01:17:51The two families
01:17:52offended Mr. Sinclair's
01:17:53benefactor.
01:17:53They must have
01:17:54a death wish.
01:17:55What's going on?
01:17:56What is
01:17:56that loser's
01:17:57real identity?
01:17:58How's he Mr. Sinclair's
01:18:00benefactor?
01:18:00Do you think
01:18:01Mr. Sinclair gave us
01:18:02the South City project
01:18:03and later visited us?
01:18:05All because of
01:18:06Kyle Hubert?
01:18:07What on earth
01:18:08is going on?
01:18:09Mr. Prescott,
01:18:10bad news.
01:18:11The port project
01:18:12broke regulations.
01:18:13The bank froze
01:18:14all accounts
01:18:14and initiated
01:18:15bankruptcy liquidation.
01:18:16Your family
01:18:17has now gone
01:18:18bankrupt.
01:18:19What?
01:18:21How is that
01:18:22possible?
01:18:22When that port
01:18:23project already
01:18:24got everyone's
01:18:25approval?
01:18:25How could it
01:18:26break regulations?
01:18:27It's true,
01:18:27Mr. Prescott.
01:18:29Our financial
01:18:30records were
01:18:31fabricated.
01:18:32The reports
01:18:32were falsified too.
01:18:34Your dad's
01:18:35been brought in
01:18:35for questioning.
01:18:36All our capital
01:18:37chains have collapsed.
01:18:38Overnight,
01:18:39the Prescots
01:18:40have gone bankrupt.
01:18:41But how could
01:18:41that be?
01:18:42It's true,
01:18:43Mr. Prescott.
01:18:43It's a high capital
01:18:44loss.
01:18:45All accounts
01:18:46are frozen.
01:18:47Your family
01:18:47is completely
01:18:48bankrupt.
01:18:51Jaden,
01:18:51what happened?
01:18:52What's going on?
01:18:53Why is your face
01:18:54so pale all of a sudden?
01:18:55Jaden,
01:18:56is something wrong
01:18:57with the finances?
01:18:58The project
01:18:58suddenly blew up.
01:19:01We're bankrupt now.
01:19:02What?
01:19:03What?
01:19:04No way!
01:19:06Impossible!
01:19:07The Prescots,
01:19:08they're the richest
01:19:09in Silver Lake.
01:19:10They'd never go
01:19:10bankrupt.
01:19:11They would never!
01:19:13Jaden,
01:19:14you're not joking,
01:19:15are you?
01:19:15My family,
01:19:16we're still counting
01:19:17on you.
01:19:17Jaden!
01:19:18Get off!
01:19:19Oh no.
01:19:20My family's already
01:19:21bankrupt.
01:19:22I don't have time
01:19:23to deal with you
01:19:23right now!
01:19:24Dad!
01:19:28Honey,
01:19:28don't scare me!
01:19:29Please don't scare me now!
01:19:31Dad,

01:19:32I'll call an ambulance!
01:19:33Someone call an ambulance!
01:19:36It's not my fault!
01:19:37It's not my fault!
01:19:38He slept by himself!
01:19:40I didn't use force!
01:19:42His health
01:19:42was already bad!
01:19:46Jaden,
01:19:46you knew my dad
01:19:47wasn't in good health
01:19:48yet you still shoved him!
01:19:49Now you're avoiding
01:19:50responsibility!
01:19:51Are you even human?
01:19:52How dare you
01:19:53hit my face!
01:19:54He slept by himself!
01:19:55So what does that
01:19:56have to do with me?
01:19:58Your whole family
01:19:59has brought me
01:19:59nothing but bad luck!
01:20:00I haven't had
01:20:01a single good day
01:20:02since I got engaged
01:20:03to you!
01:20:04Now my family
01:20:04has gone bankrupt
01:20:05and someone's dead too!
01:20:07Someone is dead!
01:20:08Jaden,
01:20:08I must have been
01:20:09so blind
01:20:10to not see
01:20:11what kind of person
01:20:12you are!
01:20:15Claire!
01:20:16Claire!
01:20:17Come and check
01:20:17your dad!
01:20:18I think he's
01:20:19self-breathing!
01:20:21Dad!
01:20:23Your dad
01:20:24is breathing!
01:20:26I don't believe it!
01:20:27Dad!

01:20:29and look at me!
01:20:30Dad!
01:20:31Everyone!

01:20:33Today I hereby
01:20:35announce to all
01:20:35that I'm breaking
01:20:37off my engagement
01:20:38with Claire Carter!
01:20:39From now on
01:20:40everything related
01:20:41to the Carters
01:20:41has nothing to do
01:20:43with the Prescott's
01:20:44and this dead man
01:20:45has absolutely
01:20:46nothing to do
01:20:46with me either!
01:20:47This is just
01:20:48too much!
01:20:48He pushed his
01:20:49father-in-law
01:20:50causing his death!
01:20:51Now he wants
01:20:52to break off
01:20:52the engagement!
01:20:53Is that something
01:20:54a decent man
01:20:54would do?
01:20:55Pff!
01:20:56This whole time
01:20:57we thought
01:20:57the Prescott's
01:20:58were prestigious
01:20:59but now we see
01:21:00they raise
01:21:00such a heartless
01:21:01brute!
01:21:02Pritchless man's
01:21:02son, huh?
01:21:03Big!
01:21:03I think
01:21:04he's more like
01:21:05a loser!
01:21:06Yeah, that's right!
01:21:08He's a loser!
01:21:10Look at that!
01:21:11What the heck
01:21:12is going on?
01:21:13During the
01:21:13Carters' rights
01:21:14strange signs

01:21:19downfall!
01:21:21The bankruptcy
01:21:21has happened
01:21:22and the death
01:21:23has followed!
01:21:24So what's next?
01:21:25The family
01:21:25may be wiped out!
01:21:32Oh no!

01:21:52than a dozen
01:21:53Mr. and Mrs. Prescott
01:21:54died in the fire.
01:21:57Who would have

01:22:00wedding
01:22:00which was the
01:22:00talk of the town
01:22:01would end up
01:22:02turning into
01:22:03some kind
01:22:04of hell?
01:22:06Luckily
