00:00:00You married?
00:00:01No.
00:00:01Good.
00:00:02Then you can marry me.
00:00:06I'm the founder of the Shadow War.
00:00:10But I should live in the Shadow as a security guard,
00:00:13keeping one promise to a fallen friend,
00:00:15to protect Victoria.
00:00:17Oh, Vicky!
00:00:18I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:00:20I want something from Kinsey Tech.
00:00:22Victoria's company?
00:00:23Alex, marrying your sister is the only way to protect her,
00:00:26and I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:00:28Who is that with Victoria?
00:00:30Her security guard.
00:00:33Get this useless man out of here now!
00:00:37I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:00:40I told him no kissing.
00:00:42Why can't I resist him?
00:00:44Yeah, it's me.
00:00:45Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kinsey family.
00:00:47Now.
00:00:49That painting is worth 10 billion.
00:00:51A security guard who throws around 10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:00:56Burn it.
00:00:56No, stop!
00:00:58What are you doing?
00:00:59It's the same one of you that can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:01:02I want you to bankrupt VanFam.
00:01:05No!
00:01:06You can't just be a security guard.
00:01:08Who are you?
00:01:18No!
00:01:18No!
00:01:19Or việc...
00:01:19Oh!
00:01:21Stand down! We need backup now!
00:01:24Colt, you guys are surrounded man. Let's get out of here. Looks like you won the bet.
00:01:30Alright, we're getting out of there together.
00:01:34Take this.
00:01:37You are the best of the best. Promise me, get back home.
00:01:43Protect my sister, Victoria.
00:01:46The Kingsley family is a snake pit you have to protect her.
00:01:50It is an honor saving with you.
00:01:53No!
00:01:58Alex!
00:02:05Alex saved my life that day and I never looked back since.
00:02:09I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance.
00:02:12The country's largest veterans network.
00:02:15The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared and respected across the world.
00:02:21But I chose a much simpler post.
00:02:23Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:02:27Keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:02:29To protect Victoria.
00:02:50Good morning, boss!

00:10:21Oh, easy there, bud.
00:10:24I don't get too trigger-happy.
00:10:25Laying your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:10:28If you want to fight, try someone your own size.
00:10:31You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:10:33I'll give you that.
00:10:35Do you think this shit scares me?
00:10:39Kingsley Banquets tonight.
00:10:41I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:10:48Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:10:50Is that a threat?
00:10:51No, just the truth.
00:10:54The Kingsleys are broke, Vicky.
00:11:00You think this runicops is going to fix that?
00:11:04Well, if I can't fix it...
00:11:07I think this will...
00:11:09No, no, no, no.
00:11:10If you kill me, the Kingsleys are finished.
00:11:15We'll see about that.
00:11:17Fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:11:18We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:11:21Please.
00:11:23Don't kill me.
00:11:28Get the fuck out.
00:11:34Thanks for saving me just now.
00:11:37You okay?
00:11:39Cole.
00:11:55Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:11:57Will you marry me?
00:12:00Marry you?
00:12:02You've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck.
00:12:06And you want me to marry you?
00:12:07Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:12:10You're right.
00:12:12It's too much to ask.
00:12:24But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:12:31So yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:12:34Really?
00:12:35Let's go make it official.
00:12:38Alex, if marrying your sister is the only way to protect her, then I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:12:43I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:12:45Let's go.
00:12:49Oh my god, boss, you did it.
00:12:51You really did it.
00:12:52This means you saved your parents' company.
00:12:55Yes, yes.
00:12:55Keep your voice down, Emily.
00:12:57By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:13:01You're coming with me.
00:13:03Your call.
00:13:08And here's a hundred grand.
00:13:11I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:13:14Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsley's.
00:13:18Got it?
00:13:19But boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:13:25Let's just hope it works.
00:13:26I've got to get back to the office.
00:13:31Alex, you're right.
00:13:33Hey, Kingsley family really is a snake pet.
00:13:37Yeah, it's me.
00:13:39Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:13:42Oh, make it big.
00:13:52Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of your father, Alistair.
00:13:59It was very impressive.
00:14:01It's just another small win for the family.
00:14:03Nothing to brag about.
00:14:24Mr. Kingsley, to many more years of good health and fortune.
00:14:27How's Father Alistair?
00:14:30I've been praying for him.
00:14:33I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:14:37He's fine.
00:14:39Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shiny.
00:14:45What is it?
00:14:47Jesus!
00:14:48That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:14:53Last I heard it was going for three million.
00:14:55That is a very generous gift.
00:14:57Three million?
00:14:58That's got to be worth at least five.
00:15:00Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:15:02A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:15:05That's too bad, because Miss Victoria has given her heart to someone else.
00:15:11Has she?
00:15:32Who is that with Victoria?
00:15:35Her security guard.
00:15:38Wow.
00:15:39The mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather Alistair Kingsley is sick.
00:15:44I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:15:49Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:15:51Guess Victoria's lost it.
00:15:53Victoria, who is this?
00:15:55Uncle?
00:15:56This is Cole Slade.
00:15:58My husband.
00:16:00Husband.
00:16:02You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:16:04You're young.
00:16:05You know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:16:08This isn't a tantrum.
00:16:09And it's not about money, either.
00:16:12I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:16:16Wow.
00:16:17Now that you're married, niece?
00:16:19Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:16:25You know, this is a family banquet.
00:16:27You didn't come empty-handed, did you?
00:16:30Tristan brought a five mil revolver for Grandpa.
00:16:33What about you, Vicky?
00:16:34What did you bring?
00:16:36Oh, shoot.
00:16:37I only gave Cole a hundred grand.
00:16:39Tristan dropped five mil?
00:16:41We're screwed.
00:16:42Of course we did.
00:16:50Cole, you actually brought something?
00:16:54Of course we brought a gift.
00:16:56Well, let's see what he's got.
00:16:57Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:17:14What is this?
00:17:15Seriously?
00:17:17That's the gift?
00:17:18It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance pen.
00:17:25Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:17:27You can't just phone it in.
00:17:28But a security guard is a security guard.
00:17:33Cole, I thought I gave you a hundred grand.
00:17:35How is this?
00:17:36Now, are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:17:42Go on.
00:17:43I'm listening.
00:17:44Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:17:47Let me guess.
00:17:48My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:17:54Let the kid talk.
00:17:56This is the Shadow Alliance badge.
00:18:01Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:18:05Oh, my gosh.
00:18:07The Shadow Alliance holds sway over government and the criminal underworld.
00:18:12They practically learn the whole world.
00:18:13With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that trans-Pacific trade route permit
00:18:18they've been dreaming about for years.
00:18:21Wait.
00:18:22Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:18:24You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:18:31Who are you and what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:18:34I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:18:37That badge is my ID.
00:18:39It carries my authority.
00:18:42This rent-a-cop, the founder of the Shadow Alliance?
00:18:46Don't make me laugh.
00:18:47Vicky, your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:18:51Yo, security guy, do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:18:57Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lies to cover it
00:19:02up?
00:19:02Of course not, Victoria.
00:19:04Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:19:07Get out.
00:19:09And don't show your face around here again.
00:19:12Especially in front of your grandfather.
00:19:16This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:19:21You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:19:26But luckily, I brought back up.
00:19:32Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art, so I had my people send this over right away.
00:19:44The original Mona Lisa.
00:19:48So what do you think?
00:19:50A little more to your liking?
00:19:53This can't be real.
00:19:54Well, that painting is worth ten billion.
00:19:59Mission accomplished.
00:20:04But boss, didn't you just give him a hundred grand?
00:20:07Where did the ten billion come from?
00:20:09I have no idea.
00:20:11This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:20:15Might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:20:17What's the point?
00:20:19You ran him off.
00:20:21Oh, Mr. Slate is a very generous man.
00:20:26What are you waiting for?
00:20:27Go chase after him.
00:20:29Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:20:32Having gold diggers as family is humiliating.
00:20:49Ten billion blown.
00:20:51Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:20:54Bunch of money hungry jackasses.
00:20:58Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:21:02Really?
00:21:03A guy who could pull out ten billion without blinking is eating this?
00:21:08Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:21:14Get in.
00:21:26So, where are we going?
00:21:29Home.
00:21:30Well, we've been a little quick, aren't we?
00:21:33I'm cooking.
00:21:35Just figured I'd think you properly.
00:21:39Hold on.
00:21:40Okay.
00:21:41Victoria Kingsley.
00:21:42In the kitchen.
00:21:43Wow.
00:21:44Okay.
00:21:45You know what?
00:21:45I'm going to have to record this just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:21:49Buy my phone.
00:21:51Ugh, shut up.
00:21:53Buckle up.
00:21:57This used to be my parents' place.
00:21:59Security is solid.
00:22:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:22:02I'm going to go change.
00:22:19How's steak sound?
00:22:21Wow, you actually cook.
00:22:23I thought you just signed checks.
00:22:26There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:22:28That ten billion.
00:22:30Where did it actually come from?
00:22:35Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:22:39Me? No.
00:22:41It was...
00:22:48Are you crazy?
00:23:09Security is solid, huh?
00:23:11How did you know this place was bugged?
00:23:15Occupational hazard.
00:23:17Security guards supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:23:19A security guard who throws around ten billion dollars?
00:23:22And, like, it's pocket change?
00:23:26I'll pay you back soon.
00:23:27Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Big Golden Coast on the Maple Hotel.
00:23:32To decide on the next big partnership.
00:23:42That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:23:45The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:23:50You're telling me this little thing's that powerful?
00:23:53You'll see.
00:23:55Fine.
00:23:56I owe you.
00:23:58Twice.
00:24:00Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:24:01And our marriage, which, by the way...
00:24:05What?
00:24:06Is a contract.
00:24:08So, we need rules.
00:24:12I'm listening.
00:24:14Rule number one, stay out of each other's love lives.
00:24:18Fair.
00:24:20Rule number two, my place isn't safe anymore.
00:24:23My grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:24:25So, we act like the perfect couple.
00:24:31Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:24:37Rule three.
00:24:40My bedroom is off limits.
00:24:43To everyone.
00:24:45But me.
00:24:48Especially.
00:24:50No kissing, no sex.
00:24:52No kissing, no sex.
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55Rarely it'd be the perfect couple.
00:24:58Not my problem.
00:25:09No eggs tonight.
00:25:12You're allergic.
00:25:14How did you know that?
00:25:17You're spying on me too?
00:25:20Relax.
00:25:21Just break room gossip.
00:25:22That's all.
00:25:24Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:25:27What is that worth, like a million bucks?
00:25:30My allergies are none of your business.
00:25:34Just sit down and wait.
00:25:35Dinner will be ready soon.
00:25:37Better not to pray for a children's service, we can pay for a families here.
00:25:43blindly готов can repeat if they want.
00:25:50It's sad.
00:25:51They'll be tired and ready again.
00:25:51When I see you...
00:25:52Colleen's life...
00:25:52Oh what's gonna be, is that...
00:25:53more air slash...
00:25:53One, you're last, you're in to know if they came to.
00:25:53Your instructions go here.
00:25:55At least.
00:25:55So where do you go now?
00:25:56You're going?
00:25:56Yes.
00:26:04I'll be expected.
00:26:05The machine.
00:26:05You're fundraising.
00:26:06And Ratолог,
00:26:10Surveillance, too.
00:26:13Just like I thought.
00:26:53I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:26:57Why can't I resist him?
00:27:07Damn, wifey.
00:27:09That was Oscar-worthy.
00:27:11It was an accident.
00:27:13Honey, the steak's burning.
00:27:24You did that on purpose.
00:27:26Just another day in married life.
00:27:29Now, about that accidental kissing...
00:27:32Shut up.
00:27:34Need a hand, wifey?
00:27:36Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:27:39Icedy.
00:27:40Like it.
00:28:02Looks like these two are getting along.
00:28:05Better than we expected.
00:28:07Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:28:12That coal guy just casually drops ten billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:28:18All the bugs are dead?
00:28:19Every single one.
00:28:21And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:28:25Interesting.
00:28:26Interesting.
00:28:27Seems our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:28:31Mm-hmm.
00:28:32And you ran all the usual checks?
00:28:34I went through all the contacts we have.
00:28:36Still nothing.
00:28:38No bank accounts.
00:28:40No credit history.
00:28:42Not even a parking ticket.
00:28:44There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:28:49Spies.
00:28:51The dead.
00:28:55And those richer than us.
00:28:57So which one is he?
00:29:00Excuse me, miss.
00:29:01You can't enter.
00:29:02Get out of my way.
00:29:03I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:29:08So it was you.
00:29:11You planted the bugs.
00:29:14Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:29:16Protect it?
00:29:18You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:29:20Enough!
00:29:25Victoria, who is this coal?
00:29:29Some hotshot?
00:29:30Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:29:33A hotshot?
00:29:35He's just our company's security guard.
00:29:39You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:29:42You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:29:46Explain the $10 billion.
00:29:48There's only two options here.
00:29:50One, you funneled company funds.
00:29:55And two, the gifts are fixed.
00:30:02All of them.
00:30:07There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:30:10So that only leads to an option.
00:30:12The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:30:15Knockoffs?
00:30:16Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:30:20Told you, Dad.
00:30:21She's always been a stain on this family.
00:30:25Stop making assumptions.
00:30:27Just because you don't know who coal is doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:30:30Shut up!
00:30:31The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some renicom.
00:30:33No, you shut up!
00:30:35Even if the gifts are fake, I would still never marry Tristan.
00:30:37Ever!
00:30:43Serena, from now on, I want you to spend more time with Tristan Van.
00:30:48The Kingsley's need the Van family support now more than ever.
00:30:53Yes, Dad.
00:30:54I'll give him a call.
00:31:02The Van family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:31:05We will secure their deal in three days' time with the Van family's support.
00:31:09By our side.
00:31:13Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel
00:31:17to decide on the next big partnership.
00:31:22That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:31:25The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:31:31The Vans have the power to open the door.
00:31:34We just have to follow their lead and take our cut.
00:31:37All right, Tori, when everything ends, I want you to resign.
00:31:42It's time to rethink who runs the family business.
00:31:47Dearest cousin,
00:31:50what do we do with this pile of junk from your rent-a-caught boyfriend?
00:31:54Burn it.
00:31:56All of it.
00:31:58The Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:32:07No, wait.
00:32:08Just wait.
00:32:09It's not.
00:32:10Wait.
00:32:20It's Pinky.
00:32:21You can't come in.
00:32:21No, no, stop.
00:32:22What are you doing?
00:32:23It's for real Mona Lisa.
00:32:29No, stop.
00:32:31No.
00:32:32No.
00:32:33No.
00:32:46They were real.
00:32:48Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:32:54Let this be a warning to you.
00:32:56You'll regret this.
00:32:57No.
00:32:59You will regret this.
00:33:01Once I marry Tristan,
00:33:03you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:33:19You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up in my place like this.
00:33:29You could get yourself killed.
00:33:36Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:33:40You're miles above her.
00:33:46You know why the Vann family gets an invite?
00:33:51Because we do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:33:56Anything.
00:33:58That's something you and I have in common.
00:34:02If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance,
00:34:08I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:34:17See, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:34:28You're right.
00:34:30There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:34:36Which one's your favorite?
00:34:40The one where you're on your knees.
00:34:45Now we're talking.
00:34:47Now we're talking.
00:35:09Since I realized your talents,
00:35:12I believe I can get the King's Lead to the Summit.
00:35:15Oh, Mr. Vann.
00:35:17I knew you would come to your senses.
00:35:20A man of your talents?
00:35:22Nothing's impossible.
00:35:24You haven't heard the cause yet.
00:35:27You have a lot.
00:35:29Of work.
00:35:30To do.
00:35:33To earn.
00:35:35A privilege of an invite.
00:35:38That was only a taste.
00:35:39Of what I'm capable of.
00:35:41Well, I guess I have to find out that.
00:35:44Later.
00:35:45But.
00:35:46Now.
00:35:47I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:35:50Victoria's company?
00:35:52It's been falling apart ever since her parents died.
00:35:56I'm serious.
00:35:58If it didn't have the King's name on it,
00:36:01nobody in my family would even care about it.
00:36:03That's not your problem.
00:36:05Do what I say.
00:36:08Or you'll be left with nothing.
00:36:12All right.
00:36:14Good thing we still have an insider in her company.
00:36:19That's better.
00:36:30Three days into the summit.
00:36:32I have to lock priority access.
00:36:38Power outage?
00:36:59All?
00:37:03Mike?
00:37:05Anybody?
00:37:06Anybody?
00:37:08Anybody?
00:37:08Anybody?
00:37:09Anybody?
00:37:20Who's there?
00:37:26I'm just hearing this.
00:37:49Interesting.
00:38:00Breaker room should be...
00:38:03Tech department, now!
00:38:06Who are you?
00:38:07You really can't tell?
00:38:10It's you?
00:38:18Emily!
00:38:19It's you?
00:38:21Surprise.
00:38:22Emily, since the day you've joined this company,
00:38:25vacations, bonuses, raises, you've had everything.
00:38:28Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:38:30Quit whining!
00:38:33You've been good to me, Victoria,
00:38:34but the Vann family's offering war.
00:38:38Why wouldn't I take it?
00:38:45I am your employee, not your slave.
00:38:49I've got a better deal now, and you should be happy for me!
00:38:53Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:38:55Shut up!
00:38:57You're taking me to the tech department now!
00:39:06Move it!
00:39:18Finally!
00:39:19Twisting gets what he wants!
00:39:22Not so fast.
00:39:24What is that supposed to mean?
00:39:25This tech is split into three parts.
00:39:29You've only got one of them.
00:39:31Where's the rest?
00:39:33Tell me you wish.
00:39:36Then die!
00:39:45It's a cute toy.
00:39:47It rarely even stings.
00:39:48But enough to make you feel every bone.
00:39:56You good?
00:40:02I'm not sure.
00:40:20Yeah, I'm fine.
00:40:23I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:40:27With Tristan after, anyway.

00:44:55Cut the crap.
00:44:57You're not getting anywhere near, Victoria.
00:44:59I'm not going to let that happen.

00:45:50Better.
00:45:51It's my own special blend.
00:45:54It's an aphrodisiac.
00:45:59You got two options.
00:46:03One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you that antidote.
00:46:08Or two, we skip the business.
00:46:13We have a little bit of fun.
00:46:15And she can find out the messy way.
00:46:17No, no.
00:46:18Don't move.
00:46:20Don't move.
00:46:30Thanks for watching over my husband.
00:46:32He's coming home with me now.
00:46:34Oh, no.
00:46:35Sweetheartedly.
00:46:36So, he's here and he's mine.
00:46:39That's right.
00:46:41Nothing happened between us.
00:46:42I swear.
00:46:43I know.
00:46:44You have better taste than this.
00:46:46Excuse me?
00:46:49Come on, Cole.
00:46:50Let's go home.
00:47:00It's too hot.
00:47:02I can't breathe.
00:47:13Cole Slade.
00:47:14Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:47:17My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:47:23Who are you?
00:47:29Cole!
00:47:31Cole!
00:47:40Hmm.
00:47:48Cole!
00:47:50Did you just kiss me?
00:48:12How the hell did I end up here?
00:48:17Cole!
00:48:39Morning.
00:48:50Last night, did we, um...
00:48:52Nope.
00:48:54Nothing happened.
00:49:01You seem almost happy about that.
00:49:06Uh...
00:49:08You were in the military?
00:49:12Um...
00:49:12No.
00:49:13No.
00:49:13No.
00:49:14No.
00:49:20What are you looking at?
00:49:23Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. Director.
00:49:27What?
00:49:28It's a woman.
00:49:30I know Amber's a woman.
00:49:34How did you know her name is Amber?
00:49:37Uh...
00:49:40Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:49:43Well...
00:49:44Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:49:47Odds are it'll be the Vann family.
00:49:50If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:49:54So you wanna use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:49:58Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:50:02Doesn't your family already have one?
00:50:03Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:50:06Why?
00:50:07I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:50:10They... burned it.
00:50:13Said it was a knockoff.
00:50:15I'll pay you back.
00:50:16What?
00:50:22If I get you that...
00:50:31Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:50:40Come again?
00:50:44Nothing.
00:50:51If you can really get me that invite...
00:50:58I'll do...
00:51:00Anything you want.
00:51:05Just carry that badge with you.
00:51:08I'll take care of the rest.
00:51:18Go on ahead.
00:51:22You're not coming in with me?
00:51:23I'll catch up.
00:51:27Okay.
00:51:36Give me an invite to the summit.
00:51:39The best one you got.
00:51:41Now.
00:51:48Go.
00:51:50Go.
00:51:53Go.
00:51:54I'll be having a invite.
00:51:55If we can't...
00:51:56Hey.
00:51:56Hey.
00:51:57Don't worry.
00:51:58Not only are you getting in.
00:52:00You're also walking out with the deal.
00:52:03Yeah, right.
00:52:04If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me and keep my parents' research safe, that's all I
00:52:09need.
00:52:10Victoria.
00:52:11You have to trust me.
00:52:13Say hi.
00:52:14Ha!
00:52:16Got you, Cole.
00:52:25Oh, come on, Cole.
00:52:27Didn't you miss me?
00:52:28I missed you so much.
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:31You have got to knock it off.
00:52:33I'm just friends with your dad.
00:52:35That's it.
00:52:37Who cares?
00:52:39I like you and I'm not letting go.
00:52:41Come on.
00:52:42End it.
00:52:44End it.
00:52:44Victoria.
00:52:51Miss Cross.
00:52:53My wife does not like that.
00:52:56Now.
00:52:58The invite.
00:53:00Here.
00:53:01The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:53:05Thanks.
00:53:06Hold up.
00:53:08You really gonna give out this invite?
00:53:10This invite is worth a fortune.
00:53:12No one else has ever gotten one.
00:53:13This is the first and the only.
00:53:17I know.
00:53:19But it's for my wife.
00:53:24Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:53:29I gotta see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:53:34Victoria.
00:53:35Wait.
00:53:35Look.
00:53:36She's just a friend.
00:53:37That's all.
00:53:38Don't touch me.
00:53:40Go away.
00:53:40Come.
00:53:54Trust me.
00:53:56She's just a friend.
00:53:58She came to drop off the invite.
00:54:01That's all.
00:54:02Yeah.
00:54:03Right.
00:54:04Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left.
00:54:06Another on the right.
00:54:07Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:54:13You feel that?
00:54:15It only beats for you.
00:54:20Just you.
00:54:27Here.
00:54:31The invite?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33That's how it's about to begin.
00:54:36Let's head in.
00:54:38I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:56Hello.
00:55:02Hello.
00:55:04Grandpa.
00:55:06Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:55:09Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:55:13Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:55:16And to you.
00:55:17You're the reason he's helping us.
00:55:19Oh, Grandpa.
00:55:20It's the least I can do.
00:55:22You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:55:26Well, after the summit, I'm gonna take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:55:31She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:55:37Victoria.
00:55:38I told you marrying me is your best option.
00:55:41But you didn't listen.
00:55:43Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:55:49And when that day comes, you'll be mine.
00:55:52Just something to use, however I want.
00:55:58What?
00:55:59Is it that Victorian call?
00:56:04What the hell are they doing here?
00:56:13Mr. Kingsley.
00:56:16Grandpa?
00:56:18Victoria.
00:56:19Coming in under Tristan's name is one thing, but to bring this?
00:56:23This guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:56:26I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:56:28Grandpa, I don't understand.
00:56:30I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:56:35And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:56:38Sure, if you got that invite yourself, that you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:56:44Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:56:49I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:56:53Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:55Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:56:57This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:57:02No one's looking for eye candy.
00:57:04If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:57:08You come in over here.
00:57:11Trying to steal a spotlight is embarrassing.
00:57:15Why don't you take a good look?
00:57:18You really think you got that on your own?
00:57:22More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:57:28That's weird.
00:57:30I never told the host to let her in.
00:57:33There's only one way that's possible.
00:57:35It's fake.
00:57:45Can you believe it?
00:57:47Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:57:51That's insane.
00:57:52If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:57:56No, you've got it wrong.
00:57:58I...
00:58:01It doesn't matter if this invite is real or not.
00:58:04That's not your call to me.
00:58:06Shut up!
00:58:08Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:58:11Victoria, you need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:58:17Vicky, what would you have done to Grandpa? Apologize now!
00:58:20Could this invite actually be fake?
00:58:23Paul, let's go.
00:58:26Wait.
00:58:27Why are you guys running?
00:58:30You were so confident that invite was real.
00:58:34Well, if my invite is fake...
00:58:38Well, this entire event is a shaman.
00:58:41We can go home.
00:58:44Prove it.
00:58:46Open it up.
00:58:47And show us.
00:58:50Yeah.
00:58:51Yeah.
00:58:51Let us see it.
00:58:52Open it up.
00:58:53Open it!
00:58:55Open it!
00:58:56Open it!
00:58:58Open it!
00:58:59Open it!
00:59:02Come on, bud.
00:59:04Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:59:09Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:59:15Damn right.
00:59:17You know what? Let's make it interesting.
00:59:19If that invite is forged,
00:59:22I'll break your leg.
00:59:25She hands over the quantum chip.
00:59:28And if it's real.
00:59:30And I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:59:34And I'll get the hell out of here.
00:59:37Deal.
00:59:50You call that an invitation?
00:59:53Oh my God.
00:59:54You have got to be kidding me.
01:00:01You see it, miss?
01:00:02Okay.
01:00:03This is the sloppiest fake I've ever seen.
01:00:07Listen up genius.
01:00:09Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
01:00:15Vicki, if you're gonna fake one, at least do your research first.
01:00:22Grandpa was right.
01:00:23You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
01:00:29Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
01:00:31You are turning this family into a complete joke!
01:00:35Who said it's fake?
01:00:37Cut the crap.
01:00:39Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:00:44Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
01:00:47Makes sense, they've never seen it before.
01:00:50That doesn't mean it's fake.
01:00:53Enough, Cole!
01:00:55Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
01:00:58And I'm about to make you regret running your mouth.
01:01:01Grab him.
01:01:04I'll break his leg myself.
01:01:06Oh!
01:01:22That is the Lester Duvall.
01:01:26He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:01:29I heard he handles everything.
01:01:31All the Shadow Alliance's outside business.
01:01:34I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:01:36If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:01:40You wish.
01:01:41The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:01:45The Kingsley family's already hanging on them.
01:01:48Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:01:52Lucky you, Vicki.
01:01:54Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:01:58Once you become the Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:02:02Of course.
01:02:04My family is counting on you.
01:02:08Don't worry. I got it.
01:02:11But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:02:17Yes, of course. Of course.
01:02:19Don't worry.
01:02:21You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:02:25Nobody's changing that.
01:02:26Yeah.
01:02:28We'll see how long that lasts.
01:02:32Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:02:38And he's my cousin.
01:02:40It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:02:45Oh, this is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO of the Kingsley company.
01:02:51Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:02:55Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:03:00Don't mess it up.
01:03:02Got it.
01:03:03Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:03:09Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:03:14Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner for the Shadow Alliance?
01:03:17Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:03:20He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out the invite's fate.
01:03:26That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:03:30The event's just started.
01:03:32Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:03:36Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:03:40And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:49Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:03:51Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner
01:03:54and donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:04:02This is our shot.
01:04:04If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:04:09Get back there.
01:04:12The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:04:16Mr. Duvall, the Vann's are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:04:22Nice job, Tristan.
01:04:25Don't grab.
01:04:26If there are no other candidates, I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:31I'm in.
01:04:34I want that partnership, too.
01:04:38Victoria, stop it!
01:04:40Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:43Quit embarrassing us!
01:04:44Vicky, I know you want the spotlight, but don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:04:52Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:04:55Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:04:58Serena is our new CEO. That is all you need to know.
01:05:01Victoria never said she wanted to become the Shadow Alliance's partner as part of the Kingsley family.
01:05:06And what does that mean?
01:05:08She's starting her own company.
01:05:10Under her name.
01:05:13Are you serious?
01:05:15A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:05:18Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:05:20You got in here on a fake invite. Don't push your luck.
01:05:24Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:05:31You know, since the Shadow Alliance started, there were two people that forged an invite.
01:05:39And they paid the price.
01:05:43Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:05:46What's the matter?
01:05:48Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:05:51When I show him this fake invite...
01:05:56Your cover's blown.
01:05:58And you're done.
01:06:00Cool.
01:06:03Oh, wait.
01:06:05Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:06:10That's the most exclusive invite to the Summit.
01:06:13This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:06:16And an outright insult to you.
01:06:19Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:06:23Stop!
01:06:28Mr. Duvall, where are you?
01:06:31That's right. This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:06:37Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:06:38Shut up!
01:06:38Ugh!
01:06:39Oh, my God.
01:06:43Mr. Slade.
01:06:45This is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:06:48You have access to all of our properties.
01:06:50No interference.
01:06:52What?
01:06:53He doesn't have the authority to get someone like this!
01:06:55Are you gonna question my judgment?
01:06:59Not now.
01:07:01Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:07:03We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:07:07Vicki.
01:07:09Partnerships run on resources.
01:07:12Without the Kingsleys, what can you even do?
01:07:17Victoria, if you are bound and determined to start your own company,
01:07:22the Kingsley family will give you nothing.
01:07:26Well, sure, Victoria's company is new.
01:07:29It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:07:32But we have something you can't say no to.
01:07:37If you make Victoria your new partner, you're gonna make someone really happy.
01:07:41Are you nuts?
01:07:4250 billion dollars to make one person happy?
01:07:46You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:07:50Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:53Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:56Exactly who is gonna be happy?
01:08:00Well, you're not here to make money or do business.
01:08:04You're just here to please someone.
01:08:07Enough!
01:08:08You know what? Save this for your funeral.
01:08:10Get him out of here!
01:08:11All you have to do is pick Victoria,
01:08:14and you will get exactly what you want.
01:08:18Trust me.
01:08:21The badge I gave you.
01:08:23Where is it?
01:08:31Hold it!
01:08:35Victoria, if this family takes a hit,
01:08:38we're gonna sever ties with you for good.
01:08:41Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:08:43Looks pretty pissed too.
01:08:46Miss Gansley,
01:08:48may I have that badge please?
01:08:58That, that's it.
01:09:00It's the real thing.
01:09:02Miss Gansley,
01:09:02do you intend to start a new company
01:09:04and form a partnership with the Shadow Alliance?
01:09:08I'm at Mr. Duvall.
01:09:09No reason to get upset.
01:09:10I'll get these two out of here.
01:09:11What's the hold up? Move it!
01:09:16You think you can just interrupt me?
01:09:20You see this?
01:09:21I'm in hot water because you two pissed them off!
01:09:24When this summer is over,
01:09:25you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:09:27Don't worry, Tristan.
01:09:28The moment we step out of this room,
01:09:30Victoria is no longer a member of this family.
01:09:33Ladies and gentlemen,
01:09:35the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:09:39Our new partner is...
01:09:45Once you land Shadow Alliance,
01:09:47taking down Victoria and Cole
01:09:48is going to be child's play.
01:09:52The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:09:58Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:10:04Miss Kingsley,
01:10:06please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:08and I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:10:11No way!
01:10:13How does it hurt?
01:10:16This has to all be about training.
01:10:19The $50 billion is yours.
01:10:20You can use it as you seek it.
01:10:23And if you need any resources from then on,
01:10:26give the word and I'll make it happen.
01:10:28What is the deal with Victoria?
01:10:31I mean, who is she?
01:10:33The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner with random people.
01:10:37That deal is basically free money.
01:10:40Cole said that Lester was just trying to make people happy, right?
01:10:46Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:10:48He flipped like a switch the second he saw that badge in her hand.
01:10:51He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:55No!
01:10:57Man, this is impossible!
01:11:00I never lose!
01:11:02Cole, am I dreaming?
01:11:05What'd I tell you?
01:11:07If I carry that badge, I'll pick you.
01:11:10Period.
01:11:12But $50 billion?
01:11:15All off one tiny badge?
01:11:17Ms. Kingsley,
01:11:19I look forward to working with you.
01:11:21Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:11:24I'll come guys sign it.
01:11:25And if you need anything in the meantime,
01:11:26you say the word and I'll make it happen.
01:11:28You're serious?
01:11:30All of this is real?
01:11:32Of course it's not real!
01:11:33Wake up!
01:11:34He only picked you because he assumed you were running the Kingsley family!
01:11:39Ms. Duvall, she...
01:11:41She's just a pretty face.
01:11:42She is unfit to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:11:46Okay? She has no resources!
01:11:48Mr. Duvall,
01:11:50if we're talking about power and influence,
01:11:54Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:11:59That's right, Victoria.
01:12:00As of today,
01:12:01you are no longer a member of this family.
01:12:04And without the Kingsley name,
01:12:06you have absolutely nothing to offer!
01:12:08The Shadow Alliance!
01:12:15You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:12:21That's that friend of yours.
01:12:24What's she doing here?
01:12:26I almost thought she was someone important.
01:12:28But if she's Cole's friend,
01:12:30she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:12:31Keep talking like that,
01:12:32and the Van family's going to be six feet under by midnight.
01:12:39Go on, Lester.
01:12:40Tell the distinguished Mr. Van who I am.
01:12:44Oh!
01:12:44Oh, Tristan!
01:12:47This is Ms. Amber Cross,
01:12:50the U.S. Director of the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:53And if I remember,
01:12:55you just refer to Ms. Cross as a gutter rat.
01:12:59I know who she was.
01:13:01Mr. Duvall, please.
01:13:02Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:13:05Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:13:09What the fuck, man?
01:13:10This is my server!
01:13:13I'm the one who runs this!
01:13:15No one comes in here and pushes me around!
01:13:19I'm in the Shadow Alliance!
01:13:21You hear me?
01:13:22If all you had done was cross the Shadow Alliance,
01:13:25I may have given you a free pass.
01:13:27But what's really unforgivable
01:13:28is that you disrespected Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:13:32the woman with the badge.
01:13:35Cole, what is this?
01:13:37Even Amber's acting like it's the most valuable thing in the world.
01:13:41Dad, isn't it the same badge Cole tried to give you at the family dinner?
01:13:45No way that thing actually has any real pull.
01:13:49Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:51This badge could single-handedly make your family crisis disappear
01:13:55and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:58You Kingsleys lit the golden ticket on fire.
01:14:05Seeing this badge is seeing the owner.
01:14:09No one disrespects it.
01:14:11No one.
01:14:12Forget 50 billion.
01:14:14Make it 100.
01:14:15200.
01:14:16Hell, make it the entire Shadow Alliance.
01:14:18If it was the badge owner's orders,
01:14:20we'd have to give it over.
01:14:22No questions asked.
01:14:23Cole wasn't bluffing.
01:14:24That means that it's the actual Mona Lisa.
01:14:28Oh my God.
01:14:29I've crushed our entire family's fortune with my own hands.
01:14:33You...
01:14:34You said that ID was yours.
01:14:38Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:14:42I'm sorry.
01:14:44What?
01:14:47This badge is your ID?
01:14:50You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:52How there's a phantom tycoon lurking in the shadows.
01:14:56A mystery billionaire who holds the entire economy in the palm of his hand.
01:15:02One word from him and blue chip stocks cradle.
01:15:07One word and he turns a deadbeat into a star of high society.
01:15:12And the only way to identify this mystery man,
01:15:16the man who has the power to tilt the world on its axis,
01:15:21is that badge right there?
01:15:23And he is the owner.
01:15:26Cole Slade, the man behind the mask.
01:15:29The real mystery billionaire.
01:15:32Mr. Slade.
01:15:34I am sorry for speaking out of turn.
01:15:39Please accept my apologies.
01:15:42Lester, really.
01:15:43Please, let's cut the formalities.
01:15:46It's a fake, okay?
01:15:47It has to be a fake!
01:15:48Lester.
01:15:50I want you to bankrupt the van family in three minutes or less.
01:15:55Yes, sir.
01:15:59I'm sorry, Mr. Slade.
01:16:01Please.
01:16:03Please.
01:16:04Mr. Slade.
01:16:06The van group stock has just tanked.
01:16:10They are now bankrupt.
01:16:13No!
01:16:22Get off of me!
01:16:24Ah!
01:16:30Since you love him so much,
01:16:33you can go keep him company.
01:16:35Let's go!
01:16:37Vicki!
01:16:38We're family!
01:16:40I'm your cousin!
01:16:42Please don't do this!
01:16:43Family.
01:16:44My days as a Kingsley are over.
01:16:48I can walk myself.
01:16:55Well, now that you Kingsleys are nothing to Victoria,
01:16:59I want you to do yourselves a favor and get out of our sight.
01:17:03If I were to so much as see your faces again,
01:17:07it would be as if the Kingsley name never existed.
01:17:14So, Victoria has the Shadow Alliance deal,
01:17:17and her parents' research is safe.
01:17:19You've accomplished your mission, right?
01:17:22All there's left for you to do is leave her and marry me.
01:17:31Don't.
01:17:32Victoria, don't.
01:17:34Cole, I know you knew my brother.
01:17:38I'm safe now, okay?
01:17:41You should go.
01:17:44Thank you for everything.
01:17:51Victoria.
01:17:53Cole, stop!
01:17:55You've already done so much for me.
01:17:58I can't keep weighing you down.
01:18:04Remember when you asked if I ever served in the military?
01:18:08So, you're finally ready to tell me?
01:18:11I served with your brother, Alex.
01:18:13You knew my brother?
01:18:14We were brothers in arms.
01:18:17His last words were to keep you safe.
01:18:20He's...dead?
01:18:22The mission failed.
01:18:24He didn't make it back.
01:18:27He didn't want you to know because he was afraid it was gonna break you.
01:18:31Why didn't you tell me?
01:18:34Why didn't you let me see him one last time?
01:18:38Go.
01:18:38I'll take it, too.
01:18:40I'll take it, too.
01:18:44Alex.
01:18:45You're such a jerk.
01:18:48Do you know how hard it's been?
01:18:50All on my own.
01:18:53Everyone tried to tear me apart.
01:18:55But now...
01:18:56I have Cole.
01:18:59I think...
01:19:00I think I'm in love with him.
01:19:05He's the most powerful man in the Federation.
01:19:08I'm not good enough, am I?
01:19:11I'm sure you'd call me stupid again.
01:19:21What the hell?
01:19:26Alex.
01:19:27Alex.
01:19:29Hey, man.
01:19:35Oh, now you remember our pact.
01:19:38Whoever dies first, the other has to wear a wedding dress.
01:19:42And now it's for the bride.
01:19:48Well, that's your sister.
01:19:50What?
01:19:52Have you lost your mind?
01:19:54Victoria Kingsley.
01:19:57Your brother asked me to guard you for life if you didn't make it back.
01:20:02But I don't want to just be a guard, too.
01:20:05Is this your idea of a proposal in a wedding dress?
01:20:10Just keep my promise.
01:20:12I'm marrying you.
01:20:15Unless you have a problem with that.
01:20:18Idiot.
01:20:26I...
01:20:27I...
01:20:31Rest easy, my brother.
01:20:33I'll protect Victoria for the rest of my life.
01:20:37I'll protect Victoria for the rest of my life.
