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!
00:02:00He'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 skyrocketed?
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!
00:03:30And join our family!
00:03:33What?
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.
00:03:50I'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.
00:04:00Help 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, pallbearer!
00:04:30Long shadows for the living.
00:04:32An even flame for the dead.
00:04:34One death per year.
00:04:35Extinction 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.
00:05:23This is so unbelievable.
00:05:24Really now.
00:05:25Ma'am, before he passed, Mr. Carter added Mr. Hubert 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.
00:05:44Be 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 is over, we'll throw him out in the street.
00:05:58Mr. Hubert, please step forward.
00:06:05This seal will hold misfortune at bay.
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.
00:07:10What 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?
00:07:27Well, 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 the man.
00:07:37I 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.
00:07:54Admit it, you'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, if 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 Prescott's 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.
00:09:15Mr. 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.
00:09:35The South City project.
00:09:37Give 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.
00:10:09Hello, Miss Carter.
00:10:11Miss Carter.
00:10:18I thought I already told you never to pick me up here.
00:10:21I was just worried.
00:10:24Miss 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, Miss 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.
00:11:09Happy 3rd 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?
00:11:30Kyle, let's be real here.
00:11:31For three years, everyone I know has seen me with Jaden in public,
00:11:35and 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?
00:11:51So 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 know how 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 come near 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?
00:13:20Don'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.
00:14:13I'm going to call for backup, boss!
00:14:16Tomorrow 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.
00:14:41Claire, 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!
00:14:47It's just, he did help us out there.
00:14:50If 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.
00:15:01Jayden, 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.
00:16:07Who 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.
00:16:52Wait, so you actually got it?
00:16:54Does that mean I'm the VIP?
00:16:57Old Sinclair did me a favor?
00:17:00Jayden, 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 fear he'll call it off then.
00:17:48Stop it!
00:17:50Kyle, what's wrong with you?
00:17:52He 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.
00:18:40So, 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.
00:18:49Not 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.
00:19:13Great.
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.
00:19:29The 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.
00:19:39My eldest son, grandson-in-law, come forward to lead us.
00:19:51May I have your attention?
00:19:53I'd like to introduce Claire's fiancée, the heir to the Prescott group, Jayden 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, and 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!
00:20:50Kyle, you 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.
00:21:02Kyle, who 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?
00:21:20Nice try, Kyle, but no one here is buying that.
00:21:22Everyone here knows you're just desperate to get attention.
00:21:25Loser, don't use my dad as an excuse.
00:21:28Today, I'm ending this farce 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.
00:21:49I say good riddance.
00:21:58I can't believe a life of Virgin was wasted on a family like this.
00:22:03Your luck has just run out, I'm afraid.
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.
00:22:52Huh.
00:22:53Fine.
00:22:54Suit yourselves.
00:22:55Just don't regret it later.
00:23:00Huh?
00:23:01Huh?
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?
00:23:08What rotten luck.
00:23:10Jayden, please light the incense.
00:23:13Hmm.
00:23:15Huh.
00:23:24Old Mr. Carter, you misjudged them three years ago.
00:23:27But don't worry.
00:23:29As the family's new son-in-law, I, Jayden Prescott, will leave this family now.
00:23:44What's happening?
00:23:48What's happening?
00:23:50What's happening?
00:23:51It's so scary!
00:23:55The incense! The first stick went out!
00:23:59The first stick's out. Your wealth will dry up.
00:24:02You have brought this upon yourselves.
00:24:06The ash cattered! The offering bolt cracked!
00:24:09That's a sign of financial ruin!
00:24:11Henry! Go and relight the incense! Hurry up!
00:24:14Go now! Go!
00:24:18Henry!
00:24:19The second stick's out.
00:24:22The family line will now be cut off.
00:24:28Henry, are you okay?
00:24:30What's happening?
00:24:31Henry, get up!
00:24:32Are you okay?
00:24:34What the...?
00:24:35Blood on the altar! That's an omen of death!
00:24:38Stop with your nonsense!
00:24:41Look, they're all out!
00:24:42The first stick's out!
00:24:44Three sticks out. The family will fall. The carters... are finished.
00:24:54What's happening?
00:24:56Oh no!
00:24:57What is going on?
00:24:59Oh no!
00:25:01Ouch!
00:25:03Dad!
00:25:04What is that?
00:25:08Crows flying! Ants swarming! The family will perish! The carters... the carters are doomed!
00:25:19Run! Run! Run!
00:25:20Let's go!
00:25:20Hey! Where are you going?
00:25:21Hey, wait!
00:25:25Honey, what on earth is going on? Could it be? Our family is really in serious trouble?
00:25:31Nonsense!
00:25:33It's just a coincidence. Don't think of such things.
00:25:36Mom, you really shouldn't listen to the guests. It's superstition! What bad omens could there be?
00:25:41You're right. It's just superstition. Someone's clearly stirring things up.
00:25:48Mr. and Mrs. Carter, don't you worry. Now that I'm in the registry, from here on in, I'm one of
00:25:54you.
00:25:54With me here, the Carter family will get stronger and rise to glory.
00:26:00Jaden's absolutely right. Who says it's a bad omen? It looks like a blessing to me.
00:26:05Jaden and Claire are going to be married. I think our family might just get to turn things around.
00:26:11Yes, exactly. It's a blessing for sure.
00:26:14We should strike while the iron's hot. The first day of the next month is a lucky date.
00:26:19Let's hold the engagement back with that day. Jaden, dear, what do you think?
00:26:23That's a great idea. Player, at last we can be together openly.
00:26:30Kyle, will you regret this?
00:26:46Relax. I'm leaving soon enough.
00:26:48You're a useless bum. Always stalling and ruining our family. Just get out already.
00:26:54I've ruined your family?
00:26:55If you hadn't jinxed us earlier, would I have this injury? So damn unlucky.
00:27:00You're the ones who are too stubborn to listen to reason. The omens you saw were just warnings. More bad
00:27:06luck is still to come.
00:27:08That's enough, Kyle. Why must you keep cursing our family? We were engaged for three years. Why do you have
00:27:13to be so cruel?
00:27:14I have said my piece. You take care of yourselves. I 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. Now it's only 1680?
00:27:40You useless bum. Where did all the money go? You freeloaded from this family for three years and still spent
00:27:45our money?
00:27:49This is the lake.
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?
00:28:11That's right. You can then be the cook or the house manager.
00:28:14Meals and lodging plus 5,000 monthly. Better than you wandering out in the streets.
00:28:20You want me as a cook? You can save your kindness for someone willing to be humiliated.
00:28:27Such an ungrateful bastard! Hey, Kyle! You're gonna regret this! Leave 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 her rotten.
00:28:59Into thin air. You must have ran off so fast and you just missed it.
00:29:03You're right. Maybe I did see it wrong.
00:29:07Huh.
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. You should have let us know you were coming.
00:29:31Mr. Sinclair, about the South City project, thanks for stepping in. We were even planning to thank you in person.
00:29:36Nothing. Mr. Carter, Ms. Carter, you flatter me. I only succeeded thanks to your family.
00:29:41Someone extraordinary is watching over you. You are blessed.
00:29:44Many great things 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...
00:29:56That person is actually your family's son-in-law.
00:29:59The reason I came is to pay him a visit. Mr. Carter, would you kindly bring me to him?
00:30:05Could that person he's referring to be Kyle?
00:30:08Nonsense. That useless mum 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. He's not here right now, and you came all this way.
00:30:19Well, that's quite a pity. That's alright. I'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? Looks 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. I gladly accept and I'll be there on time to officiate.
00:30:52Goodbye. Take 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, although compared to the Sinclair's 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? Jaden's connections are very impressive.
00:31:18If only Kyle had even half of Jaden's resources, things would have been so different.
00:31:24Oh god. That useless bum has no skills but was arrogant. Without our family's generosity, he would have just starved
00:31:30to death.
00:31:31Alright, let's head back in.
00:31:33Let's go.
00:31:38Let's go.
00:32:00It is I, Sam Ashford, seeking an audience with a pallbearer.
00:32:13You're here, Mr. Hubert.
00:32:15Greetings, pallbearer.
00:32:23Sam Ashford, you used one incense to summon me. What do you seek?
00:32:27My time is running out. My family, sadly, is cursed. Our fortune is collapsing. Please, you must help us by
00:32:35breaking the curse that haunts us.
00:32:37That's fate cutting incense that brings fortune to ruin. Anyone struck by this loses all income. Money drains away.
00:32:44Within three months, your family will be completely ruined.
00:32:49Mr. Hubert, I think you're absolutely right. This terrible curse has haunted my family for almost a year. Every time
00:32:56our business improves, disaster always strikes. It's really like walking on thin ice. Life has been worse than death. That's
00:33:03why I, Sam Ashford, am willing to use the family's hundred years of protecting Silver Lake as merit to ask
00:33:08you to break this family curse and save my family from this disaster.
00:33:13Sam Ashford, you've funded 22 schools as well as 10 nursing homes. The good you've done is enough to bless
00:33:20three generations. I will stay with your family as a consultant for three months and help you break the curse.
00:33:26Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, really.
00:33:34Kath!
00:33:40Kath, Mr. Hubert, here is my guest of honor.
00:33:46Grandpa, are you okay?
00:33:48Don't you worry.
00:33:49Kath, did you prepare everything already like I asked you?
00:33:53I did, Grandpa. Everything's ready.
00:34:03This is the key to a limited edition luxury car, the Dark Knight Phantom. There's only one in the world.
00:34:08You can use it if you like.
00:34:09No need. I travel my own way. This thing would always slow me down.
00:34:15I've been told you'll like the quiet. Grandpa found an old house in West Hill. It used to belong to
00:34:19a scholar, and we've restored it.
00:34:21There's tea growing in the yard, and there's a natural hot spring as well.
00:34:25How thoughtful. But I'm staying with your family, so I have no need for another place.
00:34:35This black card has no spending limit. It's global. Just give the card number. Please do accept it.
00:34:41These are just material things. All I need here is a quiet guest room.
00:34:45You may all go.
00:34:47I have been very foolish, using worldly things only to offend you.
00:34:52I know I deserve punishment.
00:34:54Mr. Hubert, I am but an old man now, and not very mobile.
00:34:58I can't personally look after you.
00:35:02My granddaughter, Kath, is well-mannered and gentle by nature.
00:35:06Let her be the one to accompany you, and take care of whatever you may need.
00:35:14Mr. Hubert, this is the guest room we prepared. If you ever need anything, please just let us know.
00:35:22This would suffice. No need to fuss.
00:35:25Luxury cars, old mansions, black cards. Those are things most people can only dream of.
00:35:31Yet he doesn't care for them. What kind of man is he?
00:35:34To want nothing of these riches.
00:35:43Claire, what's the matter? Here, drink some water. Hurry now.
00:35:52Why were there bones in the fish? What are you people doing?
00:35:55Man.
00:35:56Well, fish naturally have bones.
00:35:58Don't you think I know that? Why didn't you remove them?
00:36:01What's the point of keeping you around, huh?
00:36:04I removed the bones. Go on and eat.
00:36:09Back when Kyle cooked fish, he'd always take out every single bone for me.
00:36:13That loser. Useless at everything.
00:36:15Although, he was pretty skilled at cooking.
00:36:17That's really all he was good for.
00:36:19Mom.
00:36:20Why are you all standing there?
00:36:21Take the fish back to the kitchen.
00:36:23Take out the bones and bring it back.
00:36:27Mrs. Carter, something bad has happened.
00:36:30What?
00:36:33What happened here?
00:36:34Why'd this happen?
00:36:35All the fish are dead.
00:36:37I honestly don't know.
00:36:38I checked the water in the filter last night like always.
00:36:41Everything was still okay.
00:36:42I was about to feed them and I just thought that they were all dead.
00:36:45Impossible.
00:36:46You must have given the wrong food or skipped a water change.
00:36:48How dare you lie about it?
00:36:50Madam.
00:36:51I didn't.
00:36:52I took care of them exactly like you showed me.
00:36:54I really don't know what went wrong.
00:36:58Madam, it's bad.
00:36:59All the plants have suddenly wilted.
00:37:01How did my plant end up like this?
00:37:03Claire, could this be that curse?
00:37:05Remember, everything that Kyle said to us is coming true.
00:37:09He cursed our family.
00:37:11It's bad.
00:37:12Madam.
00:37:12Miss Carter.
00:37:13Mr. Carter was in a crash.
00:37:17Mr. Carter, thank goodness you and I are okay.
00:37:24Dad, are you alright?
00:37:25Any injuries?
00:37:26You scared me.
00:37:27This failed on me.
00:37:28Luckily, we only hit the guardrail.
00:37:30Honey, all the fish are dead.
00:37:33The plants have wilted too.
00:37:35And now a car crash?
00:37:36Could Kyle's curse on our family be actually real?
00:37:39Mrs. Carter, that loser was just humiliated, so he wanted to provoke and rattle you.
00:37:45Why take him seriously?
00:37:46He's a nobody.
00:37:47But, Jaden, with everything weird that's been happening, I can't help but feel uneasy.
00:37:53Claire, if you're really that worried, just leave it to me.
00:37:56I'll handle it.
00:37:57I'm gonna put an end to all these strange events for good.
00:38:03Listen now, demon lord.
00:38:06Get out.
00:38:07Leave at once.
00:38:08Jaden, will this master really help us?
00:38:11Can he actually break the curse?
00:38:14Claire, don't worry.
00:38:15He's the most powerful master in all of Silver Lake.
00:38:19With him here, there's not a single curse that can survive after he's done doing this.
00:38:26Evil be gone now.
00:38:28Order be restored.
00:38:34Break!
00:38:38Break!
00:38:39Break!
00:38:46Everyone, don't worry.
00:38:48The evil that haunted this home is now completely gone.
00:38:51You can live about your lives in peace, finally.
00:38:54All your problems are over.
00:38:57Thank you, master.
00:38:58I really appreciate your help.
00:39:00I really appreciate your help.
00:39:01You're very welcome.
00:39:03Although...
00:39:03Hmm...
00:39:05Huh?
00:39:05It seems that the energy here's been really off.
00:39:08The evil's gone, but it could use some positive energy.
00:39:12If you ask me, you should throw a wedding.
00:39:15Once that's over, Joy will chase out all the bad luck.
00:39:19And then, everything will fall into place.
00:39:22You're right, master.
00:39:23We definitely need a celebration.
00:39:25I'll start preparing the wedding room, then.
00:39:27Every lucky decoration that I can find has to be in place.
00:39:31Yes, exactly.
00:39:33Jaden and Claire are already engaged.
00:39:35Getting married soon is ideal.
00:39:38Master, with your words, we'll finally feel at ease.
00:39:43I can't shake the feeling that things aren't that simple.
00:39:46Mr. Hubert, out of all these projects, which one's the best to invest in?
00:39:51I'm a bit out of touch, so I'd really appreciate your advice.
00:40:01Go with this one.
00:40:02In two weeks, the policy will favor it.
00:40:06Oh.
00:40:07Mr. Hubert, the market's reaction to this project has been lukewarm.
00:40:11Could this be a risky move?
00:40:13That may be.
00:40:14Only if you believe that it is.
00:40:16All right.
00:40:17We'll follow his lead.
00:40:18Kath, will you please get the funds ready?
00:40:21Spare no expense, because we must secure exclusive rights to this project.
00:40:26Sure.
00:40:27I'll go do that now.
00:40:37It's bad.
00:40:40The Carter's luck has run out, and disaster is about to strike.
00:40:44Yeah, place the sign up high a little bit more.
00:40:47I want everyone in Silver Lake to know that our daughter's tying the knot with the press cots.
00:40:52Make sure it's decorated inside, too.
00:40:54Mom, don't you think that's enough?
00:40:56Going overboard isn't a good idea.
00:41:17What is that loser doing here?
00:41:21What do you think you're doing here?
00:41:23Listen carefully.
00:41:24Claire and Jayden are getting married soon.
00:41:26Don't get in the way.
00:41:27Well, I can't just stand by and watch.
00:41:29While old Mr. Carter's legacy crumbles, I am giving you one last chance to survive this.
00:41:35Look, Kyle.
00:41:36I've made up my mind to marry Jayden.
00:41:38You and I, it's over between us.
00:41:40Stop clinging to me and stop making up excuses to be with me.
00:41:43Don't worry.
00:41:44I'd never want to be with someone like you.
00:41:50This pendant I hold wards off evil.
00:41:52Take it.
00:41:53It might save your life.
00:41:54It's the last thing I can do for your grandfather.
00:42:02We don't want your pendant.
00:42:04Stop trying to scare us already.
00:42:05Now listen.
00:42:06Stay away from my daughter.
00:42:08If Jayden sees us, he might think.
00:42:10Claire's still involved with a loser like you.
00:42:12You broke the pendant.
00:42:13All hope is gone.
00:42:15I did my best and my conscience is clear.
00:42:17So from now on, your family is no longer my 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 that car you're driving?
00:42:32As far as I'm concerned, we're done.
00:42:34I owe you nothing.
00:42:36Listen.
00:42:37Do you even know what you have?
00:42:38It's a limited edition.
00:42:40One of a kind in the whole world.
00:42:42I don't care.
00:42:43Look, Kyle.
00:42:44I'm going to be straight with you.
00:42:46I really couldn't care less if it's stolen or a rental or whatever scam you did to get
00:42:51your hands on it.
00:42:52For your sake, give it back to its owner before you end up behind bars.
00:42:55You actually think I'm a thief?
00:42:57Of course.
00:42:57What else?
00:42:58Huh, now I get it.
00:43:00You heard it all over town that Claire is set to marry Jayden soon.
00:43:03So you decided to get a car this impressive so you can put on a show.
00:43:07You're simply posturing.
00:43:09How pathetic.
00:43:11You are a poser.
00:43:12Listen, everyone knows it's a fact that when you left us, you were completely broke.
00:43:17So why do this?
00:43:18Why fake it to impress me?
00:43:19It only makes you look even more desperate.
00:43:22You're right.
00:43:23The three-year pact is over.
00:43:24I'm done helping the Carter family.
00:43:26Quite frankly, I wish I'd never come here.
00:43:29Wait a sec.
00:43:31A rental car like that is at least ten grand a day.
00:43:34You didn't have a single penny when you left us.
00:43:37So where did the money come from?
00:43:39Unless you stole some money from us before you decided to leave.
00:43:43If you have any proof, then go call the cops.
00:43:46You.
00:43:52The nerve of that loser talking to me like that.
00:43:57The nerve of that loser talking to me like that.
00:44:00Once I find proof that he's been stealing,
00:44:02I'll make sure he rots in a cell for the rest of his life.
00:44:07I've searched the entire house from top to bottom, but nothing is missing.
00:44:11Claire, are you done checking the books yet?
00:44:13Did that loser skim anything from the budget?
00:44:16Mom, just take a look at this.
00:44:20What?
00:44:21Imported cherries, 1,000.
00:44:23Makeup, 5,000.
00:44:24Bills, 5,000.
00:44:26Now this can't be right.
00:44:28Over the years, we've given that loser hundreds of thousands of our money to do whatever he wanted.
00:44:32And he hasn't kept a single cent.
00:44:34He spent every dime on us, really?
00:44:36For three years, not a single cent of our money was ever spent on anything for him or his needs.
00:44:42His clothes and the shoes he wore were the same ones he brought with him when he arrived.
00:44:48Maybe I was overly cruel to him all along.
00:44:51He was silently sacrificing so much for this family.
00:45:22Hello?
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Kyle!
00:45:24Kyle, where are you? Get back here now.
00:45:27Listen, Claire. Have you forgotten?
00:45:28We're no longer engaged.
00:45:32There's a thunderstorm, and I'm scared.
00:45:34And what has that got to do with me?
00:45:35In the past, you would always stay with me.
00:45:40Hey, Kyle, thunder scares me. Come stay by my bed.
00:45:54So, Kyle, could you maybe talk to me for now?
00:45:57Miss Carter, I suggest you call Jayden.
00:45:59He's your fiancé now, right?
00:46:02I...
00:46:04Unbelievable.
00:46:05How dare he hang up on me?
00:46:08Hmph.
00:46:16So, Kyle, you called me back.
00:46:18If you can apologize to me right now...
00:46:21Miss Carter, the South City's project is in trouble.
00:46:23What's that?
00:46:26Can you believe it?
00:46:27He's really audacious.
00:46:29One in South City has just tested positive for toxic soil.
00:46:32The EPA has ordered for immediate shutdown.
00:46:37Fifty million!
00:46:39Everything that we have has now sunk into that hole!
00:46:45Honey!
00:46:46What are we to do now?
00:46:47You have to be strong!
00:46:48It's all because of that curse!
00:46:50I don't get it!
00:46:51The Master said our luck had finally turned!
00:46:54So, how could this still be happening to us?
00:46:58Claire!
00:46:59Jayden!
00:47:00Go find Jayden right now!
00:47:01Only he can save us from this mess!
00:47:03He's right!
00:47:04Go quickly!
00:47:05Jayden!
00:47:14Jayden!
00:47:14What's the word?
00:47:16Riverside Phase One is now in the money pit.
00:47:18I'm afraid...
00:47:19But that's not what you promised me!
00:47:21You said that you would help us weather the storm!
00:47:25Claire, please 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 leave his future in-laws hanging like this.
00:47:34Really?
00:47:36Trust me.
00:47:37But if I ever lied...
00:47:39Once we get you pregnant, he'll have every reason to help bail out your family.
00:47:46He'll have every reason to help bail out your family.
00:47:54What the hell, Claire?
00:47:55We're about to get married and you're still cold towards me!
00:47:58Jayden!
00:47:58Given the situation, how's that even on your mind?
00:48:06Jayden!
00:48:06The 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 Mr. Hubert picked out.
00:48:33You really are a genius.
00:48:35Mr. Hubert, you've saved our family legacy.
00:48:38Please, accept my gratitude.
00:48:40There's no need for that.
00:48:42Wait until I've broken this curse before you thank me.
00:48:45I am in your debt.
00:48:47Mr. Hubert, I'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 to the Prescott's wedding.
00:48:59The Prescott's?
00:49:00They're patriarchs and our schoolmates and our youth.
00:49:03For an occasion like this, I will have to be there in person.
00:49:06Listen, you're still fragile.
00:49:08I think you shouldn't go.
00:49:11I'll be fine, Mr. Hubert.
00:49:13I may be frail, but I can still manage a short trip like this one.
00:49:18The wedding you plan to attend isn't a celebration.
00:49:21It's a death trap.
00:49:22In the state you're in, it'll consume you.
00:49:25There will be no return.
00:49:31Mr. Hubert, the Carters were doing perfectly fine.
00:49:35How did something this series happen?
00:49:36They've already been plagued by misfortune three years ago.
00:49:40Old Mr. Carter used his life's merits to secure three years of protection.
00:49:44Now those three years are over, but the Carters showed no gratitude and doomed themselves.
00:49:48There's no way out of this.
00:49:49This misfortune will erupt in full.
00:49:51Well, what exactly will happen to them?
00:49:53They will lose everything.
00:49:55Their bloodline will end.
00:49:57They will be wiped out.
00:49:59At this wedding event, there will be bloodshed.
00:50:02There will be bloodshed?
00:50:05If the Prescott's are with the Carters, won't they be dragged into it?
00:50:08Jaden already added his name to the Carter genealogy.
00:50:11His fate is now tied to theirs.
00:50:13He won't be able to escape the Carter's misfortune.
00:50:18Dad, didn't you say that once I started a family, you'd let me invest in the Port Project?
00:50:23Why'd you change your mind now?
00:50:27The Port Project?
00:50:28Haven't you already done enough to ruin our family?
00:50:33Look at the projects you previously handled.
00:50:35Every single one of them ended in total loss.
00:50:38How dare you bring up investments with me?
00:50:46How is this possible?
00:50:47How could every project end in failure?
00:50:52Why was I given a son as hopeless as you?
00:50:54Our entire family fortune will be squandered by you soon enough!
00:50:58Dad, these project problems were all acts of nature and accidents.
00:51:03They were all beyond my control!
00:51:04Beyond your control?
00:51:06Ever since you joined the company,
00:51:08every project you handled has had issues.
00:51:11You overreach but underperform.
00:51:12You won't take any advice.
00:51:13You're always rushing and restless, looking for shortcuts.
00:51:16And even if these projects didn't fail,
00:51:19with your character,
00:51:20we'd all be ruined sooner or later!
00:51:22Dad, please give me one more chance.
00:51:24Just trust me again.
00:51:26There's the Silver Lake Merchant Alliance.
00:51:28If I can secure a Port Project,
00:51:30I'll be guaranteed profit.
00:51:31Please give me this one chance.
00:51:36That Port Project will be a tough one.
00:51:38All eyes are on it.
00:51:40If you fail again,
00:51:41it won't be just you.
00:51:43Our whole family will be affected
00:51:44and dragged into the abyss,
00:51:46never to recover!
00:51:47Dad, don't you worry.
00:51:49I stayed up for three nights straight
00:51:50to do research on this project.
00:51:52I've secured every single channel.
00:51:54I checked every risk multiple 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 our family
00:52:01and bring you honor.
00:52:02This is your last chance, Jaden.
00:52:04It's also our family's last chance.
00:52:12Oh, do it there.
00:52:14Stick it there.
00:52:14Maybe half an inch to the left.
00:52:18That's it.
00:52:19This wedding sign
00:52:20must be placed perfectly straight
00:52:22because it can bring good luck.
00:52:27Oh, no.
00:52:29Claire, dear.
00:52:30Please 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, huh?
00:52:40I mean, Jaden already promised us,
00:52:41didn't he?
00:52:42That he'll help our family
00:52:43clean up our mess
00:52:44concerning the South City project, right?
00:52:46But, Mom,
00:52:47this time it's different.
00:52:48The project involves several partners.
00:52:50The losses are huge.
00:52:52I'm afraid it's too much,
00:52:53even for the Prescots.
00:52:54Oh, no.
00:52:55Stop your worrying, my darling.
00:52:57Your fiancé has powerful connections.
00:52:59And, oh,
00:53:00someone like old Mr. Sinclair
00:53:01came just to visit him.
00:53:02He's going to help our family
00:53:04get through this, okay?
00:53:06Come on, now.
00:53:07Don't overthink things, all right?
00:53:09Just focus on being
00:53:10the most beautiful bride.
00:53:12Dress and accessorize well.
00:53:14That's the key, dear.
00:53:15Hold on tight to that
00:53:16Jaden Prescott of yours.
00:53:17And then there's nothing
00:53:18to worry about, right?
00:53:23Yes?
00:53:24Mrs. and Ms. Carter,
00:53:25the costume wedding candies arrived.
00:53:27The candies are here, dear.
00:53:30Mom?
00:53:31You know,
00:53:31I had these specially ordered
00:53:33from Bell Ridge.
00:53:33They're made with the finest cocoa.
00:53:35Try one.
00:53:36Well, of course,
00:53:36I'm going to try one.
00:53:48What is this awful thing?
00:53:51What is this awful thing?
00:53:53What's wrong?
00:53:53Are you all right?
00:53:54This candy is disgusting.
00:53:56It tastes like mold.
00:53:57Is it expired or what?
00:53:59What's going on?
00:54:00How could the candies be expired?
00:54:02Ms. Carter,
00:54:02I don't know either.
00:54:03They just arrived.
00:54:04They couldn't have expired.
00:54:06You idiot.
00:54:06Somebody must have tampered with it.
00:54:08And that's why this just happened.
00:54:10Mom,
00:54:11please calm down.
00:54:12Go bring us another batch.
00:54:14You listen to me.
00:54:15If the same thing happens
00:54:16at the wedding,
00:54:16I'll make sure you pay for it.
00:54:22Madam,
00:54:22Mrs. Carter,
00:54:23the custom veil has arrived.
00:54:24The one hand made
00:54:25by the Montalee designer.
00:54:26Oh,
00:54:27that's wonderful.
00:54:27It finally arrived.
00:54:29We had to use many connections
00:54:30to secure this veil
00:54:31for your wedding.
00:54:32Claire,
00:54:33go ahead and open it.
00:54:34Try it on now.
00:54:34Go.
00:54:40Mom,
00:54:41why is there blood
00:54:42on the veil?
00:54:46There's blood all over the veil.
00:54:48Why the hell
00:54:49is there blood on that veil?
00:54:50Madam,
00:54:51I 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 it
00:55:13upon delivery.
00:55:14So what happened?
00:55:15Blood on a wedding veil
00:55:16is a bad omen.
00:55:17What if something happens
00:55:18at the wedding?
00:55:19Hey,
00:55:19keep 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.
00:55:41Huh?
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?
00:56:09What?
00:56:10You really can't do anything?
00:56:12But 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.
00:56:28And 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,
00:56:47what are you doing 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
00:57:24is less than 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.
00:57:31Sorry.
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
00:57:45of your allowance
00:57:46which 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.
00:58:32Hi, 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.
00:59:37You can even live
00:59:38without a phone these 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.
01:00:00Mr. 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 Silver Lake
01:00:07Merchant Alliance.
01:00:08I'd like for you
01:00:09I'd like for you
01:00:09to 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.
01:00:27Hmm?
01:00:30Miss Ashford,
01:00:31is there anything else?
01:00:34Well,
01:00:35Mr. Hubert,
01:00:36could you also
01:00:37accompany me shopping?
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 Mr. Hubert.
01:01:00Yes, of course.
01:01:03Miss Ashford,
01:01:04there's no need for 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 of you.
01:01:10I'll pick out
01:01:11your suit.
01:01:13Hmm.
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 my number?
01:01:36Do you hate me that 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.
01:01:43Hmm.
01:01:44You 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 me
01:02:00restore 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.
01:02:10Congrats 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 of those
01:02:26three 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
01:03:01to say by talking
01:03:02like 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 to tell
01:03:14this woman about us?
01:03:15Are you afraid
01:03:16that 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...
01:03:53Miss Garter,
01:03:54I truly envy you.
01:03:55You were with Mr. Hubert
01:03:56for three years.
01:03:58It's a pity.
01:03:58You didn't appreciate
01:03:59what he had there.
01:04:00What?
01:04:03You...
01:04:04Huh?
01:04:08Claire?
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
01:04:31clever man.
01:04:32He found himself
01:04:32a new rich woman.
01:04:34Just after breaking
01:04:34up with you,
01:04:35he bounced right back
01:04:36with someone else.
01:04:37He's someone
01:04:38who mooches
01:04:39off others.
01:04:40Kyle,
01:04:41have you really
01:04:42fallen for someone
01:04:43else?
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.
01:05:09The event will surely
01:05:10capture the attention
01:05:11of all the city's media.
01:05:12This kind of
01:05:13publicity is far
01:05:14better than hiring
01:05:15a celebrity.
01:05:17You're saying
01:05:18this ring is just
01:05:18on loan?
01:05:19Look, Claire,
01:05:20our wedding is
01:05:21under a spotlight.
01:05:22This could become
01:05:23very profitable.
01:05:25Are you actually
01:05:25using our wedding
01:05:26for marketing?
01:05:30Claire,
01:05:31come on.
01:05:31Don't say that.
01:05:32This is how
01:05:33we're going to show
01:05:34the world our 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 Carters
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.
01:05:50Once I secure
01:05:51the port project,
01:05:52I can help
01:05:53your family
01:05:53and clear your debts.
01:05:56All right.
01:05:57I trust you.
01:06:06over here, Claire.
01:06:07Mr. Prescott
01:06:08and Miss Carter,
01:06:09a perfect match.
01:06:10It seems that
01:06:11the port project
01:06:11is certain to be yours.
01:06:13Oh, well,
01:06:14of course.
01:06:14With Mr. Prescott
01:06:15leading,
01:06:16what project
01:06:16cannot be won?
01:06:18Today,
01:06:18the 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
01:06:30Cath,
01:06:30Mr. Ashford's
01:06:31granddaughter?
01:06:32The Ashfords
01:06:32are almost bankrupt.
01:06:33So what are
01:06:34they doing here?
01:06:35It seems
01:06:35the alliance
01:06:36standards
01:06:36are really
01:06:37hitting an
01:06:38all-time low.
01:06:39Even freeloading
01:06:40losers
01:06:40can now attend
01:06:41just like that.
01:06:43Security?
01:06:44Why are you
01:06:45letting just
01:06:45anyone 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
01:06:53some respect.
01:06:55Investment advisor?
01:06:56Hey, Kyle,
01:06:58did you fabricate
01:06:58your resume
01:06:59just to get a job?
01:07:00Investment advisor?
01:07:02Investment advisor?
01:07:03Ms. Ashford,
01:07:04no wonder
01:07:04your 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
01:07:15isn't a game,
01:07:16so choose
01:07:17your advisor
01:07:18carefully.
01:07:18I fully trust
01:07:19Mr. Hubert.
01:07:20But Ms. Carter,
01:07:22the one who needs
01:07:23to be careful
01:07:23here is 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,
01:08:10we can't afford mistakes.
01:08:12Go choose the last one.
01:08:14After 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
01:08:40you 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
01:08:48about StarTech
01:08:49in this industry.
01:08:50They're buried in debt
01:08:51and lagging in tech,
01:08:52yet he claims
01:08:52he'll search 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
01:09:02a decade of business experience.
01:09:04He's seen everything already.
01:09:06His eye for investments
01:09:07is far sharper than most.
01:09:08Kyle, on the other hand,
01:09:09have 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 Ashfords must be desperate
01:09:19if they're counting on a fraud
01:09:21to 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 Ashfords are about to blow
01:09:31their last bit of capital.
01:09:35I'm standing by Mr. Hubert,
01:09:37representing the Ashfords.
01:09:39We will now bid
01:09:40and 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%?
01:10:29He'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 for 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.
01:11:21Our family's future
01:11:22is in very good hands.
01:11:24Mr. 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.
01:11:30I'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
01:11:52are investigating
01:11:52the port project
01:11:53and our stock
01:11:54just plunged 5%?
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
01:12:04did by 5%?
01:12:05This is just day one!
01:12:08Mr. and Mrs. Carter,
01:12:09Claire,
01:12:10please don't panic.
01:12:11This is just temporary.
01:12:12Someone's trying
01:12:13to sabotage
01:12:14the family's momentum
01:12:15by releasing
01:12:16this kind of 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.
01:12:25That's right.
01:12:26You do make a good point.
01:12:27It's just
01:12:28a small hiccup.
01:12:29There's nothing
01:12:30to 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, yes, yes.
01:12:45Grandpa!
01:12:46Grandpa!
01:12:47Grandpa!
01:12:47Mr. Hubert,
01:12:48great news!
01:12:49Our StarTech investment
01:12:50just got its first
01:12:51major 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
01:12:57are now up to 3%.
01:13:00Mr. 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 3% 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
01:13:16to come.
01:13:16Soon enough,
01:13:17StarTech will roll out
01:13:18a major tech breakthrough
01:13:20and 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 5%.
01:13:29Serves them right.
01:13:30If only they had
01:13:31taken Mr. 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,
01:13:50do you think
01:13:50the ceremony
01:13:51will even take place?
01:13:54Thank you,
01:13:55thank you.
01:13:56Congratulations!
01:13:57Congratulations!
01:13:58I'm so happy.
01:13:59for 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
01:14:06Prescott's have our back,
01:14:08I'd like to see anyone
01:14:08try to talk smack
01:14:09about us.
01:14:11Hey,
01:14:12I heard through the grapevine
01:14:13that Mr. Sinclair
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
01:14:22never get 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
01:14:29is 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 connections.
01:14:43Mr. Sinclair
01:14:44wouldn't have agreed
01:14:44to officiate otherwise.
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.
01:14:54Oh, man,
01:14:55it's coming on my account?
01:14:56Mr. Sinclair is here.
01:15:05Welcome.
01:15:06Welcome, Mr. Sinclair.
01:15:07Congratulations,
01:15:08Mr. and Ms. Carter.
01:15:09You know,
01:15:10having someone like you
01:15:11to officiate
01:15:12is a tremendous
01:15:13turn to even
01:15:13be invited here.
01:15:18I've brought with me
01:15:19a small gift
01:15:19to give to the
01:15:20lovely couple.
01:15:21Please accept it
01:15:22with my best wishes.
01:15:24May they have
01:15:24a lifetime of happiness.
01:15:26That's an exquisite
01:15:27piece of premium jade.
01:15:28Mr. Sinclair
01:15:29really went all out
01:15:30just for the 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 headed
01:15:36for the big leagues now.
01:15:37With a blessing like that,
01:15:39their standing
01:15:39in the city
01:15:40is rock solid
01:15:41without a doubt.
01:15:45Oh, Claire,
01:15:46Jaden,
01:15:47come over
01:15:47and pay your respects.
01:15:48Such incredible generosity
01:15:49from someone of his stature
01:15:50deserves a proper thing.
01:15:52Thank you
01:15:52for doing me
01:15:53the honor of officiating
01:15:54and for such
01:15:56a precious wedding gift.
01:15:57If you ever need
01:15:58a hand with anything,
01:15:59just let me know, sir.
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 doesn't
01:16:10seem to know him?
01:16:11Did we get it
01:16:12wrong somehow?
01:16:12Maybe we did.
01:16:13All 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.
01:16:23Maybe you've heard of it?
01:16:27Mr. and Mrs. Carter,
01:16:29I hope you wouldn't mind
01:16:30if I ask.
01:16:32Isn't your son-in-law
01:16:33really Mr. Hubert?
01:16:35Oh, Mr. 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,
01:16:43he got engaged to 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 him
01:16:53out of our home.
01:16:54That loser freeloaded,
01:16:56and he got to do it
01:16:57for 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.
01:17:07It's best for the Carters
01:17:09and the Prescotts
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
01:17:27stand up for 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!
01:17:47What'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
01:17:58real identity?
01:17:58How's he
01:17:59Mr. Sinclair's
01:18:00benefactor?
01:18:00Do you think
01:18:01Mr. Sinclair
01:18:02gave us the
01:18:02South City Project
01:18:03and later
01:18:04visited us
01:18:05all because
01:18:06of Kyle 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.
01:18:17Your 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.
01:18:39Overnight,
01:18:39the Prescott's
01:18:40have gone bankrupt.
01:18:41But how could that
01:18:41be?
01:18:42It's true,
01:18:43Mr. Prescott.
01:18:43It's a high
01:18:44capital loss.
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
01:18:54of a sudden?
01:18:55Jaden,
01:18:56is something
01:18:57wrong with
01:18:57the finances?
01:18:58The project
01:18:58suddenly blew up.
01:19:00We're bankrupt
01:19:01now.
01:19:02What?
01:19:03What?
01:19:04No way!
01:19:06Impossible!
01:19:07The Prescott's,
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
01:19:30scare me now!
01:19:31Dad,
01:19:31hang in there!
01:19:32I'll call an ambulance!
01:19:33Someone call an ambulance!
01:19:36It's not my fault!
01:19:38It's not my fault!
01:19:38He slipped 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 slipped by himself!
01:19:56So 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 to 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,
01:20:09I 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 your dad!
01:20:18I think he's
01:20:19self-breathing!
01:20:21Dad!
01:20:24You're dead!
01:20:25You're dead with breathing!
01:20:26I don't believe it!
01:20:27Dad!
01:20:28Open your eyes
01:20:29and look at me!
01:20:30Dad!
01:20:31Everyone!
01:20:33Everyone!
01:20:34Today I hereby
01:20:35announce to all
01:20:35that I'm breaking off
01:20:37my engagement
01:20:38with Claire Carter!
01:20:39No!
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 too much!
01:20:48He pushed his father-in-law
01:20:50causing his death
01:20:51that he wants
01:20:52to break off
01:20:52the engagement!
01:20:53Is that something
01:20:54a decent man would do?
01:20:55Pff!
01:20:56This whole time
01:20:57we thought the Prescott's
01:20:58were prestigious
01:20:59but now we see
01:21:00they raise such
01:21:01a heartless brute!
01:21:02Pritchless man's son, huh?
01:21:03Big!
01:21:04I think
01:21:04he's more like
01:21:05a loser!
01:21:07Yeah, that's right!
01:21:08He's a loser!
01:21:09Look at that!
01:21:10Look at that!
01:21:11Look at that!
01:21:12What the heck
01:21:12is going on?
01:21:13During the Carters' rites
01:21:14strange signs
01:21:15kept appearing
01:21:15some people said
01:21:17they are
01:21:17almost a bankruptcy
01:21:18death and the family's
01:21:19downfall!
01:21:21The bankruptcy
01:21:22has happened
01:21:22and the death
01:21:23has followed!
01:21:24So what's next?
01:21:25The family may be
01:21:26wiped out!
01:21:27Oh no!
01:21:33Fire!
01:21:34Fire!
01:21:35We're going to take it!
01:21:36We're going to take it!
01:21:38We're going to take it!
01:21:39Your dad has to go!
01:21:41We have to kill him!
01:21:41We have to leave him!
01:21:46According to the latest news
01:21:48this morning
01:21:49at the wedding
01:21:49of the Carters
01:21:50and Prescott's
01:21:51fire broke out
01:21:51injuring more than a dozen
01:21:53Mr. and Mrs. Prescott
01:21:54died in the fire.
01:21:57Who would have thought
01:21:58that this grand wedding
01:22:00which was the talk
01:22:01of the town
01:22:01would end up
01:22:02turning into
01:22:03some kind of hell?
01:22:06Luckily
01:22:06we listened to your advice
01:22:08and didn't attend
01:22:09the wedding
01:22:09otherwise
01:22:11the consequences
01:22:12would have been bad.
01:22:13How could this
01:22:14have happened to us?
01:22:16This is their fate.
01:22:18The Carters
01:22:19could have escaped
01:22:19this disaster
01:22:20but they were too stubborn
01:22:21and they ruined
01:22:22their chance of survival.

01:22:42were still glorious
01:22:43they were the richest
01:22:44in Silver Lake
01:22:45who would have thought
01:22:47in the end
01:22:48they'd suffer
01:22:49their inevitable downfall
01:22:51going bankrupt overnight
01:22:52and making such a joke
01:22:54of themselves.
01:22:55Unfortunately
01:22:55they cannot escape
01:22:57their doomed fate.
01:23:07How can you call yourself
01:23:09a driver?

01:23:10I'm sorry

01:25:39To protect the Carters
01:25:41we were engaged

01:25:45and allowed me to set
01:25:46the great ritual
01:25:47your family's misfortune
01:25:48would have been resolved.
01:25:51Mr. Hubert, Mr. Hubert

01:25:54to recognize your worth.
01:25:55Please help me

01:25:57and save my life.
01:25:58Kyle, please.
01:25:59I'm sorry.
01:26:00It was my fault.
01:26:01I shouldn't have
01:26:01treated you that way
01:26:02nor should I have
01:26:03doubted you.
01:26:04I know I was wrong.

01:26:06save what's left
01:26:07of my family.
01:26:08I'm willing to

01:26:11been withdrawn.
01:26:11Our ties are settled.
01:26:13I can no longer

01:26:16to trade all the merit
01:26:17of my life
01:26:17just to ask you
01:26:18to save us.

01:26:20I'm also willing
01:26:21to trade my merit
01:26:22for a chance
01:26:23to escape death.
01:26:24You, Claire
01:26:24you're ungrateful
01:26:25and have no sense
01:26:26of right and wrong.
01:26:28Jaden, you are arrogant
01:26:29and quite selfish.
01:26:31In this lifetime
01:26:32you don't have
01:26:33a shred of merit
01:26:34to trade.
01:26:38We don't have
01:26:39a shred of merit
01:26:40to trade.
01:26:41No.
01:26:42But...
01:26:43Mr. Hubert
01:26:44please give me
01:26:45one more shot.
01:26:47We're willing
01:26:47to start accumulating
01:26:48merit for the chance
01:26:49to live.
01:26:54Hi, this is Jaden.
01:26:56Donate all my family's
01:26:58assets to public
01:26:58schools and nursing homes.
01:27:00Give everything
01:27:00we have left to them.
01:27:02Do it right now!
01:27:03Kyle, I'll donate
01:27:05bone marrow
01:27:05and blood
01:27:06to hospitals.
01:27:07I can teach
01:27:08in rural areas.
01:27:09I'll accumulate
01:27:10merits for the rest
01:27:11of my life
01:27:12just to ensure
01:27:13the safety
01:27:14of my remaining
01:27:14family members.
01:27:17Please grant me this!
01:27:21Karma turns in cycles
01:27:23and there's still
01:27:23a chance.
01:27:24If you truly repent
01:27:25and spend the rest
01:27:26of your lives
01:27:27doing good
01:27:27the Carter's misfortune
01:27:29can be delayed.
01:27:31But if you repeat
01:27:32your past mistakes
01:27:33the curse
01:27:34will begin again
01:27:36at once.
01:27:36I promise you
01:27:38I'll never be
01:27:39selfish or arrogant
01:27:39again.
01:27:40I'll personally
01:27:41supervise the school
01:27:42construction
01:27:43and take care
01:27:43of elderly people.
01:27:45I won't stray
01:27:45from this.
01:27:46Kyle, I'm sorry.
01:27:49I know I shouldn't
01:27:50have treated you badly.
01:27:52I've made a terrible
01:27:53mistake.
01:27:54If your family
01:27:55hadn't been so snobbish
01:27:56you wouldn't have
01:27:57fallen to this date.
01:27:59All of this
01:28:00is the result
01:28:01of your own actions.
01:28:07Mr. Hubert
01:28:10if you're going
01:28:11to leave

01:28:19is vague.

01:28:21I don't mind.
01:28:22If I follow you
01:28:23I won't hold you back.
01:28:24I studied medicine
01:28:25and business operations.
01:28:27I might be able
01:28:28to help you
01:28:29with some karmic
01:28:30matters.
01:28:32Besides
01:28:32following you
01:28:33isn't to rely on you.
01:28:35I want to witness
01:28:36good being rewarded.
01:28:37I want to do
01:28:38something truly
01:28:39meaningful with you.
