00:00:00Man down, we have a man down. We need backup now.
00:00:06Cole, you guys are surrounded, man. Let's get out of here.
00:00:09Looks like you won the bet.
00:00:12All right, we're getting out of here together.
00:00:15Take this.
00:00:18You are the best of the best.
00:00:21Promise me, get back home.
00:00:24And protect my sister, Victoria.
00:00:27The Kingsley family is a snake pit.
00:00:30You have to protect her.
00:00:31There's an honor safe with you.
00:00:40Alex!
00:00:47Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:00:50I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance,
00:00:54the country's largest veterans network.
00:00:56The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared, and respected across the world.
00:01:02But I chose a much simpler post.
00:01:04Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:01:08Keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:01:11To protect Victoria.
00:01:33Good morning, boss.
00:01:50After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:01:53No more hiding my identity.
00:01:58Yo, Cole, looking sharp as ever.
00:02:01You think we'll get a slice of that wedding cake?
00:02:03I heard Mrs. Kingsley is marrying some rich bastard with trust fund money.
00:02:07At least they can do what's giving us some good food and booze.
00:02:10Less talk.
00:02:12More work.
00:02:13What work?
00:02:13It's not our fault they sent us to do some patrol to some empty church.
00:02:17Look around, man.
00:02:19Not a soul in sight.
00:02:21Even the stray cats around here have better things to do.
00:02:27I take that back.
00:02:28Our bride's rolling up.
00:02:30Showtime, baby.
00:02:33Showtime, baby.
00:02:54Skip the speeches, no pictures, no champagne tower.
00:02:58I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:03:01Um, boss, nobody's here.
00:03:04Not even the groom.
00:03:08Where is everyone?
00:03:10I just got word the groom's backed out.
00:03:13He said...
00:03:15Said what?
00:03:16He said that if you're the one that Tristan Vann wants, no man in the city will dare to marry
00:03:21you.
00:03:23Tell Tristan to leave me the hell alone.
00:03:26That idiot doesn't get to decide how I live my life.
00:03:29But, boss, the deadline for your marriage is coming up.
00:03:32If you don't get married soon, then they'll...
00:03:33Take back my parents' company, right?
00:03:37My parents might be dead, and my brother might have gone missing,
00:03:40but no one's touching our family business.
00:03:53Congratulations on the wedding, Miss Kingsley.
00:03:59Who are you?
00:04:00Coleslade.
00:04:01You married?
00:04:03No.
00:04:04Girlfriend?
00:04:04Also no.
00:04:06Good.
00:04:07Then you can marry me.
00:04:10Okay.
00:04:16Sorry, no can do.
00:04:21It's purely transactional.
00:04:22I'll pay you a salary for every month that you're my husband.
00:04:2620K.
00:04:27How does that sound?
00:04:29After a year, we can get divorced.
00:04:31Still no.
00:04:34Do you know who I am?
00:04:36I'm Victoria Kingsley.
00:04:38CEO of Kingsley Tech.
00:04:43Fine.
00:04:44Name your price.
00:04:46I know who you are, Miss Kingsley.
00:04:47That's exactly why I can't marry you.
00:04:49You're the sister of my best friend.
00:04:51Someone I swore to protect.
00:04:53Not everything was gone for me.
00:04:55Seriously?
00:04:55You're a goddamn security guard.
00:04:57You have no right to turn down my boss.
00:05:00No, no.
00:05:00It's fine.
00:05:03I'll handle this.
00:05:04You try to put out the fires with my family.
00:05:06Okay.
00:05:09Okay.
00:05:25Tristan Vann.
00:05:27Kingsley's arch nemesis.
00:05:33What is he doing here?
00:05:44Move it, car dog.
00:05:50Alex.
00:05:52I can't do this anymore.
00:05:55Where are you?
00:05:58Oh, Vicky.
00:06:00I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:06:05Alex.
00:06:06Looks like your sister's in trouble.
00:06:11Who the hell let you in here?
00:06:13Victoria Kingsley.
00:06:15You know how much I love you.
00:06:18Marry me.
00:06:19And you know I'd rather die than marry you.
00:06:23Oh, baby.
00:06:25But then, you lose Kingsley Corp.
00:06:28Newsflash.
00:06:29Every man in the city knows you're mine.
00:06:33No one's going to marry you, sweet cheeks.
00:06:36It's either me or nothing.
00:06:40Your eyes is mine.
00:06:43Not in a million years, you scumbag.
00:06:46You think I don't know?
00:06:48You're just after the quantum chip tech my parents left behind.
00:06:51And marrying me happens to be the fastest, cleanest way to get your hands on it.
00:06:55Fine.
00:06:57He called me.
00:06:59Well, then, let's make this marriage official.
00:07:03Get off me!
00:07:07Go ahead.
00:07:08Scream your little heart out.
00:07:17Yo, where the hell are you going?
00:07:19I'm going in.
00:07:21No man is brave enough to play savior from this Kingsley.
00:07:48Who the fuck are you?
00:07:50Leave him alone.
00:07:52He has nothing to do with this.
00:07:54This guy must have a death wish.
00:07:57You think you can come in here and play hero?
00:08:01Do you know who the fuck I am?
00:08:03I don't give a shit who you are.
00:08:06Victoria is my fiance.
00:08:12You married Victoria Kingsley.
00:08:15Don't make me laugh.
00:08:17That's right.
00:08:18We're getting married and there's nothing you can do to change that.
00:08:20Cocky piece of shit.
00:08:22Let's go.
00:08:48You can't just be a security guard.
00:08:52But I am.
00:09:04Easy there, bud.
00:09:05Don't get too trigger-happy.
00:09:07Laying your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:09:10You want to fight?
00:09:12Try someone your own size.
00:09:13You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:09:15I'll give you that.
00:09:17Do you think this shit scares me?
00:09:21Kingsley Banquets tonight?
00:09:23I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:09:30Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:09:32Is that a threat?
00:09:33No, just the truth.
00:09:36The Kingsleys are broke, Vicky.
00:09:42You think this runicops is going to fix that?
00:09:46Well, if I can't fix it.
00:09:49I think this will.
00:09:51No, no, no.
00:09:52If you kill me, the Kingsleys are finished.
00:09:57We'll see about that.
00:09:59Fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:10:00We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:10:03Please.
00:10:05Don't kill me.
00:10:10Get the fuck out.
00:10:16Thanks for saving me just now.
00:10:19You okay?
00:10:22Cole.
00:10:36Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:10:39Will you marry me?
00:10:43Marry you.
00:10:44You've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck, and you want
00:10:49me to marry you?
00:10:50Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:10:53You're right.
00:10:54It's too much to ask.
00:11:07But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:11:13So yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:11:17Really?
00:11:18Let's go make it official.
00:11:20Alex, if Marry and your sister is the only way to protect her, then I gotta do what I
00:11:24gotta do.
00:11:25I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:11:27Let's go.
00:11:32Oh my god, boss, you did it.
00:11:34You really did it.
00:11:35This means you saved your parents' company.
00:11:37Yes, yes.
00:11:38Keep your voice down, Emily.
00:11:40By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:11:44You're coming with me.
00:11:45Your call.
00:11:50And here's a hundred grand.
00:11:53I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:11:57Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsley's.
00:12:01Got it?
00:12:01But boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:12:07Let's just hope it works.
00:12:09I've got to get back to the office.
00:12:13Alex, you're right.
00:12:16The Kingsley family really is a snake pit.
00:12:19Yeah, it's me.
00:12:21Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:12:24Oh.
00:12:26Make it big.
00:12:36Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of
00:12:41your father, Alistair.
00:12:42It was very impressive.
00:12:44It's just another small win for the family.
00:12:46Nothing to brag about.
00:13:07Mr. Kingsley, it's many more years of good health and fortune.
00:13:10How's Father Alistair?
00:13:13I've been praying for him.
00:13:16I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:13:20He's fine.
00:13:23Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shiny.
00:13:28What is it?
00:13:30What is it?
00:13:30Jesus.
00:13:31That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:13:36Last I heard it was going for three million.
00:13:38That is a very generous gift.
00:13:40Three million.
00:13:41That's got to be worth at least five.
00:13:43Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:13:45A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:13:48That's too bad, because Miss Victoria has given her heart to someone else.
00:13:54Has she?
00:14:16Who is that with Victoria?
00:14:19Her security guard.
00:14:22Wow, the mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather, Alistair Kingsley,
00:14:28is sick.
00:14:29I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:14:33Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:14:35I guess Victoria's lost it.
00:14:37Victoria, who is this?
00:14:39Uncle?
00:14:40This is Cole Slade.
00:14:42My husband.
00:14:44Husband?
00:14:46You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:14:48You're young, you know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:14:52This isn't a tantrum.
00:14:54And it's not about money, either.
00:14:56I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:15:00Wow.
00:15:02Now that you're married niece?
00:15:04Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:15:09You know, this is a family banquet.
00:15:11You didn't come empty handed, did you?
00:15:14Tristan brought a five mil revolver for grandpa.
00:15:17What about you, Vicky?
00:15:19What did you bring?
00:15:20Oh, shoot.
00:15:21I only gave Cole a hundred grand.
00:15:23Tristan dropped five mil?
00:15:25We're screwed.
00:15:26Of course we did.
00:15:35Cole, you actually brought something?
00:15:39Of course we brought a gift.
00:15:41Well, let's see what he's got.
00:15:42Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:15:59What is this?
00:16:00Seriously?
00:16:02That's the gift?
00:16:03It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance bin.
00:16:10Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:16:12You can't just phone it in.
00:16:13But a security guard is a security guard.
00:16:18Cole, I thought I gave you a hundred grand.
00:16:20How is this?
00:16:21Now are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:16:26Go on.
00:16:28I'm listening.
00:16:29Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:16:32Let me guess.
00:16:33My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:16:39Let the kid talk.
00:16:41This is the Shadow Alliance badge.
00:16:46Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:16:50Oh, my God.
00:16:52The Shadow Alliance holds sway over government and the criminal underworld.
00:16:56They practically run the whole world.
00:16:58With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that trans-Pacific trade route permit they've been dreaming
00:17:04about for years.
00:17:06Wait.
00:17:07Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:09You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:17:17Who are you?
00:17:18And what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:17:20I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:17:22The badge is my ID.
00:17:25It carries my authority.
00:17:27Is Rent-A-Cop the founder of the Shadowlands?
00:17:31Don't make me laugh.
00:17:33Vicki?
00:17:34Your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:17:37Yo, security guy, do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:17:43Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lies to cover it
00:17:47up?
00:17:48Of course not, Victoria.
00:17:50Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:17:53Get out.
00:17:54And don't show your face around here again.
00:17:57Especially in front of your grandfather.
00:18:02This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:18:07You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:18:12But luckily, I brought back up.
00:18:17Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art, so I had my people send this over right away.
00:18:30The original.
00:18:31Mona Lisa.
00:18:34So what do you think?
00:18:36A little more to your liking?
00:18:37This can't be real.
00:18:39That painting is worth 10 billion.
00:18:44Mission accomplished.
00:18:49Wait, boss, didn't you just give him a hundred grand? Where did the 10 billion come from?
00:18:54I have no idea.
00:18:56This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:18:59Might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:19:02What's the point?
00:19:03You ran him off.
00:19:05Oh.
00:19:06Mr. Slate is a very generous man.
00:19:10What are you waiting for?
00:19:12Go chase after him.
00:19:13Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:19:16Having gold diggers as family is humiliating.
00:19:3410 billion blown.
00:19:36Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:19:39Bunch of money hungry jackasses.
00:19:43Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:19:47Really?
00:19:48A guy who could pull out 10 billion without blinking is eating this?
00:19:53Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:19:59Get in.
00:20:12So, where are we going?
00:20:13Home.
00:20:15Home.
00:20:17Well, we've been a little quick, aren't we?
00:20:19I'm cooking.
00:20:20Just figured I'd think you properly.
00:20:24Hold on.
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26Victoria Kingsley.
00:20:27In the kitchen.
00:20:28Wow.
00:20:29Okay, you know what?
00:20:30I'm gonna have to record this just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:20:34Buy my phone.
00:20:36Ugh, shut up.
00:20:38Buckle up.
00:20:42Excuse me, my parents' place.
00:20:44Security is solid.
00:20:46Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:48I'm gonna go change.
00:21:05How's steak sound?
00:21:06Wow, you actually cook.
00:21:08I thought you just signed checks.
00:21:11There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:21:14That 10 billion.
00:21:16Where did it actually come from?
00:21:20Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:21:25Me? No.
00:21:26No, it was...
00:21:33Are you crazy?
00:21:54Security is solid, huh?
00:21:57How did you know this place was bugged?
00:22:00Occupational hazard?
00:22:02Security guards supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:22:04A security guard who throws around 10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:22:11I'll pay you back soon.
00:22:13Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast somewhere at the Maple Hotel.
00:22:18To decide on the next big partnership.
00:22:28That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:22:31The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:22:36You're telling me this little thing's that powerful?
00:22:39You'll see.
00:22:41Fine.
00:22:42I owe you.
00:22:44Twice.
00:22:46Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:22:47And our marriage, which, by the way...
00:22:51What?
00:22:52Is a contract.
00:22:54So we need rules.
00:22:58I'm listening.
00:23:00Rule number one.
00:23:01Stay out of each other's love lives.
00:23:04Fair.
00:23:06Rule number two.
00:23:07My place isn't safe anymore.
00:23:09My grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:23:11So we act like the perfect couple.
00:23:17Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:23:23Rule three.
00:23:26My bedroom is off limits.
00:23:29To everyone.
00:23:31But me.
00:23:35Especially.
00:23:36No kissing, no sex.
00:23:38No kissing, no sex.
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:42Really, it'd be the perfect couple.
00:23:44Not my problem.
00:23:56No eggs tonight.
00:23:58You're allergic.
00:24:01How did you know that?
00:24:03You're spying on me too?
00:24:06Relax.
00:24:07Just break room gossip, that's all.
00:24:10Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:24:14What is that worth, like, a million bucks?
00:24:16My allergies are none of your business.
00:24:20Just sit down and wait.
00:24:22Dinner will be ready soon.
00:24:35Do you wanna press it to call me?
00:24:37A skill with your garden?
00:24:38Do you need help?
00:24:38Three, two, two...
00:24:38Three, four.
00:24:56Surveillance, too.
00:24:58Just like I thought.
00:25:39I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:25:43Why can't I resist him?
00:25:54Damn, wifey.
00:25:55That was Oscar-worthy.
00:25:57It was an accident.
00:26:00Honey, the steak's burning.
00:26:11You did that on purpose.
00:26:13Just another day in married life.
00:26:15Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:26:19Shut up.
00:26:21Need a hand, wifey?
00:26:23Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:26:26Icedy.
00:26:27Like it.
00:26:49Looks like these two are getting along.
00:26:52Better than we expected.
00:26:55Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:26:59That coal guy just casually drops $10 billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:05All the bugs are dead?
00:27:06Every single one.
00:27:08And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:12Interesting.
00:27:14Seems like our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:27:19And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:21I went through all the contacts we have.
00:27:23Still nothing.
00:27:25No bank accounts.
00:27:27No credit history.
00:27:29Not even a parking ticket.
00:27:32There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:27:36Spies.
00:27:36Spies.
00:27:38Spies.
00:27:38The dead.
00:27:42And those richer than us.
00:27:44So which one is he?
00:27:47Excuse him, miss.
00:27:48You can't enter.
00:27:49Get out of my way.
00:27:50I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:27:55So it was you.
00:27:58You planted the bugs.
00:28:02Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:04Protect it?
00:28:05You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:08Enough!
00:28:13Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:16Some hotshot?
00:28:18Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:21A hotshot?
00:28:22He's just our company's security guard.
00:28:27You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:28:30You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:28:33Explain the $10 billion.
00:28:35There's only two options here.
00:28:37One, you funneled company funds.
00:28:42Or two, the gifts are fakes.
00:28:50All of them.
00:28:55There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:28:58So that only leaves one option.
00:29:00The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:29:03Knockoffs?
00:29:04Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:29:08Told you, Dad.
00:29:09She's always been a stain on this family.
00:29:13Stop making assumptions.
00:29:15Just because you don't know who Cole is
00:29:17doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:29:18Shut up!
00:29:19The Kingsley legacy is not yours
00:29:20to sell off to some rent-a-cop.
00:29:21No, you shut up!
00:29:23Even if the gifts are fake,
00:29:24I would still never marry Tristan, ever!
00:29:31Serena, from now on,
00:29:32I want you to spend more time with Tristan Vann.
00:29:36The Kingsleys need the Vann family support
00:29:39now more than ever.
00:29:41Yes, Dad.
00:29:43I'll give him a call.
00:29:50The Vann family has a real pull
00:29:52with the Shadow Alliance.
00:29:53We will secure their deal in three days' time
00:29:56with the Vann family's support
00:29:57by our side.
00:30:01Three days from now,
00:30:02the Shadow Alliance is hosting
00:30:03the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel
00:30:06to decide on the next big partnership.
00:30:10That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:30:13The smoother it goes for you,
00:30:14the faster I get my money back, right?
00:30:19The Vanns have the power to open the door.
00:30:22We just have to follow their lead
00:30:24and take our cut.
00:30:27Tori, when everything wins,
00:30:28I want you to resign.
00:30:30It's time to rethink
00:30:32who runs the family business.
00:30:36Dearest cousin,
00:30:39what do we do with this pile of junk
00:30:41from your rent-a-caught boyfriend?
00:30:43Burn it.
00:30:45All of it.
00:30:47The Kingsley House
00:30:48is no place for a cheap print.
00:30:55No, wait.
00:30:57Just wait, it's not...
00:30:58Wait!
00:31:08It's Kingsley, you can't come in!
00:31:10No, no, stop!
00:31:10What are you doing?
00:31:11It's for real Mona Lisa!
00:31:17No!
00:31:18Stop!
00:31:19No!
00:31:36They were real!
00:31:37Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:31:43Let this be a warning to you.
00:31:45You'll regret this.
00:31:47No.
00:31:48You will regret this.
00:31:50Once I marry Tristan,
00:31:52you won't even be able
00:31:53to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:32:09You know, it takes a lot of guts
00:32:11for you to show up
00:32:11in my place like this.
00:32:18You could get yourself killed.
00:32:26Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:28Hmm.
00:32:29You're miles above her.
00:32:35You know why the Van family
00:32:37gets an invite?
00:32:40Because we'd do anything
00:32:42for the Shadow Alliance.
00:32:45Anything.
00:32:47That's something you and I have in common.
00:32:51If you can get my family
00:32:53into the Shadow Alliance,
00:32:57I may be willing to
00:32:59relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:06See, you're not
00:33:09in a position
00:33:11to negotiate.
00:33:17You're right.
00:33:20There are many positions
00:33:21we can negotiate in.
00:33:25Which one's your favorite?
00:33:29The one where you're
00:33:31on your knees?
00:33:34Now we're talking.
00:33:59Since I've realized
00:34:00your talents,
00:34:01I believe I can get
00:34:03the Kingsley to the summit.
00:34:05Oh, Mr. Van.
00:34:07I knew you would come
00:34:08to your senses.
00:34:09A man of your talents?
00:34:12Nothing's impossible.
00:34:13You haven't heard
00:34:14the cost yet.
00:34:17You have a lot
00:34:19of work to do
00:34:22to earn
00:34:25a privilege
00:34:26of an invite.
00:34:27That was only a taste
00:34:29of what I'm capable of.
00:34:30Well, I guess
00:34:31I have to find out that
00:34:33later.
00:34:35But
00:34:36now
00:34:36I want something
00:34:37from Kingsley Tech.
00:34:40Victoria's company?
00:34:42It's been falling apart
00:34:43ever since your parents died.
00:34:46I'm serious.
00:34:48If it didn't have
00:34:49the Kingsley name on it,
00:34:50nobody in my family
00:34:51would even care about it.
00:34:52That's not your problem.
00:34:54Do
00:34:55what I say
00:34:58or you'll be left
00:34:59with nothing.
00:35:02All right.
00:35:04Good thing we still
00:35:05have an insider
00:35:06in her company.
00:35:09That's better.
00:35:20Three days
00:35:21isn't to the summit.
00:35:23I have to lock
00:35:24priority access.
00:35:28Power outage?
00:35:50Paul?
00:35:52Mike?
00:35:54Anybody?
00:36:11Who's there?
00:36:16I'm just hearing this.
00:36:39Interesting.
00:36:42Interesting.
00:36:50The breaker room should be...
00:36:54Tech department, now!
00:36:56Who are you?
00:36:58You really can't tell?
00:37:00It's you?
00:37:09Emily!
00:37:10It's you?
00:37:11Surprise!
00:37:13Emily, since the day you've joined this company,
00:37:15vacations, bonuses, raises, you've had everything.
00:37:19Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:37:21Quit whining!
00:37:23You've been good to me, Victoria,
00:37:25but the Van family's offering more.
00:37:29Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:37I am your employee, not your slave.
00:37:40I've got a better deal now,
00:37:42and you should be happy for me!
00:37:45Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:37:47Shut up!
00:37:49You're taking me to the tech department, now!
00:37:57Move it!
00:38:09Finally, Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:13Not so fast.
00:38:15What is that supposed to mean?
00:38:17This tech is split into three parts.
00:38:20You've only got one of them.
00:38:22Where's the rest?
00:38:24Tell me!
00:38:25If you wish,
00:38:27then die!
00:38:37It's a cute toy.
00:38:38It barely even stings.
00:38:40Good enough to make you feel every moment.
00:38:41Ah!
00:38:48You're good?
00:39:12Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:15Just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:39:19What's Tristan after anyway?
00:39:21That's worth going this far.
00:39:24The quantum chip tech.
00:39:26My parents' last research.
00:39:29From the sham engagement to buying off my uncle,
00:39:32every move led to this.
00:39:34Just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:38Say the word and I'll make Ma disappear.
00:39:42No, it's fine.
00:39:44I'll figure something out.
00:39:46How?
00:39:46As long as we land new deals,
00:39:50you won't have any hold over us.
00:39:59Motherfucker!
00:40:03It's Cole again!
00:40:04He's fucking it all up!
00:40:06Little fucking mutt!
00:40:09Easy, babe.
00:40:11I know how to deal with Cole.
00:40:14I have an idea.
00:40:15Oh yeah?
00:40:17What?
00:40:19No matter how tough you are,
00:40:23if a woman's got your interest,
00:40:26you're done for.
00:40:28I like that.
00:40:29I like that.
00:40:30I like that a lot.
00:40:49Who is this?
00:40:50Come on, Cole.
00:40:52Don't be so mean.
00:40:53I'm just trying to help.
00:40:55Listen.
00:40:55The Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:40:58What's your point?
00:41:00What's your point?
00:41:00Alright, alright.
00:41:02My point is,
00:41:03they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:41:06And if it leaks,
00:41:07she's screwed.
00:41:09Who the hell are you?
00:41:11What do you want?
00:41:12Relax.
00:41:13I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:15Just meet me at the bar tonight,
00:41:17eight o'clock.
00:41:18And maybe,
00:41:19I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:27Cole,
00:41:28what's going on, man?
00:41:29I've got to head out for a bit.
00:41:31Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:41:32If anything happens,
00:41:33call me.
00:42:08Hey, handsome.
00:42:09You want to have some fun?
00:42:13I've been waiting for you.
00:42:16Oh.
00:42:17Oh.
00:42:17Oh.
00:42:18Take it easy.
00:42:19Alright.
00:42:58check in.
00:43:20You're lucky I don't hate women.
00:43:23What if you keep pushing me?
00:43:27I will.
00:43:29Just join me for a drink.
00:43:33For Victoria and her company.
00:43:39I knew that name would get you back.
00:43:48Cut the crap.
00:43:49You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:43:52I'm not going to let that happen.
00:43:55Have your drink.
00:43:57And then...
00:44:00I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:18Call me, you asshole.
00:44:30Tell me now.
00:44:38You?
00:44:40The truck, man?
00:44:42No.
00:44:43Better.
00:44:45It's my own special blend.
00:44:48It's an aphrodisiac.
00:44:53You got two options.
00:44:56One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you that name to tell us.
00:45:02Or two, we skip the business.
00:45:06We have a little bit of fun.
00:45:08And she can find out the messy way.
00:45:10No, no.
00:45:11Don't move.
00:45:13Don't move.
00:45:46Thanks for watching over my husband.
00:45:53It's too hot.
00:45:55I can't breathe.
00:45:56I can't breathe.
00:46:06Call Slade.
00:46:08Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:46:12My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:17Who are you?
00:46:23Cole!
00:46:41Cole!
00:46:43Did you just kiss me?
00:47:06How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:11Cole!
00:47:12Cole!
00:47:14Cole!
00:47:32Good morning.
00:47:35Good morning.
00:47:40Good morning.
00:47:44Last night, did we, um...
00:47:45Nope.
00:47:48Nothing happened.
00:47:55You seem almost happy about that.
00:47:59Oh.
00:48:02You were in the military?
00:48:05Um, no.
00:48:07No.
00:48:09No.
00:48:15What are you looking at?
00:48:17Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. director.
00:48:21What?
00:48:23It's a woman.
00:48:24Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:48:28How did you know her name is Amber?
00:48:34Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:48:38Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:48:42Odds are it'll be the Van family.
00:48:44If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:48:49So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it.
00:48:52Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:48:56Doesn't your family already have one?
00:48:58Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:49:00Why?
00:49:01I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:49:04They burned it.
00:49:07Said it was a knockoff.
00:49:09I'll pay you back.
00:49:16If I get you that...
00:49:25Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:49:35Come again?
00:49:39Nothing.
00:49:46If you can really get me that invite...
00:49:51I will do...
00:49:55anything you want.
00:50:00Just carry that badge with you.
00:50:02I'll take care of the rest.
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:13Go on ahead.
00:50:16You're not coming in with me?
00:50:18I'll catch up.
00:50:21Okay.
00:50:31Give me an invite to the Sun.
00:50:33Best one you got.
00:50:35Now.
00:50:46Cole, they've already kicked out two execs for not having invites.
00:50:50If we can't...
00:50:51Hey, hey.
00:50:51Don't worry.
00:50:53Not only are you getting in, you're also walking out with the deal.
00:50:58Yeah, right.
00:50:59If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me and keep my parents' research safe, that's all I
00:51:04need.
00:51:04Victoria.
00:51:05Victoria, you have to trust me.
00:51:08Say hi.
00:51:09Ha!
00:51:10Gotcha, Cole.
00:51:21Oh, come on, Cole.
00:51:23Don't you miss me?
00:51:24I missed you so much.
00:51:26Okay, you have got to knock it off.
00:51:29I'm just friends with your dad.
00:51:31That's it.
00:51:31Who cares?
00:51:34I like you, and I'm not letting go.
00:51:39Victoria.
00:51:46Miss Cross.
00:51:48My wife does not like that.
00:51:52Now.
00:51:53The invite.
00:51:55Here.
00:51:56The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:52:00Thanks.
00:52:01Ah!
00:52:02Hold up.
00:52:03You're really gonna give out this invite?
00:52:05This invite is worth a fortune.
00:52:07No one else has ever gotten one.
00:52:09This is the first and the only.
00:52:13I know.
00:52:15But it's from my wife.
00:52:19Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:52:24I gotta see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:52:29Victoria.
00:52:30Wait.
00:52:31Look, she's just a friend.
00:52:33That's all.
00:52:34Don't touch me.
00:52:35Go away.
00:52:36Come.
00:52:37Come.
00:52:50Trust me.
00:52:52She's just a friend.
00:52:54She came to drop off the invite.
00:52:56That's all.
00:52:58Yeah, right.
00:53:00Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left, another on the right.
00:53:03Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:53:09You feel that?
00:53:11It only beats for you.
00:53:15Just you.
00:53:27The invite?
00:53:28Yeah.
00:53:29The summit's about to begin.
00:53:32Let's head in.
00:53:34I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:53:52Hello?
00:53:58Hello.
00:54:00Grandpa?
00:54:03Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:54:05Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:54:10Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:54:12And to you.
00:54:13You're the reason he's helping us.
00:54:15Oh, Grandpa.
00:54:16It's the least I can do.
00:54:17You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:54:22Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:54:28She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:54:34Victoria, I told you marrying me is your best option, but you didn't listen.
00:54:40Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:54:45And when that day comes, you'll be mine.
00:54:48Just something to use however I want.
00:54:55Is it that Victorian call?
00:55:01What the hell are they doing here?
00:55:09Mr. Kingsley.
00:55:13Grandpa?
00:55:14Victoria.
00:55:15Coming in under Tristan's name is one thing, but to bring this?
00:55:20This guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:55:22I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:55:25Grandpa, I don't understand.
00:55:26I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:55:32And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:55:35Sure, if you got that invite yourself, that you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:55:41Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:55:46I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:55:50Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:55:52Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:55:54This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:55:58No one's looking for eye candy.
00:56:01If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:56:05You come in over here, trying to steal the spotlight is embarrassing.
00:56:11Why don't you take a good look?
00:56:15You really think you got that on your own?
00:56:18More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:56:25That's weird.
00:56:27I never told the host to let her in.
00:56:29There's only one way that's possible.
00:56:32It's fake.
00:56:42Can you believe it?
00:56:43Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:56:48That's insane.
00:56:49If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:56:53No, no, you've got it wrong.
00:56:58It doesn't matter if this invite is real or not.
00:57:01That's not your call to me.
00:57:03Shut up!
00:57:05Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:57:08You need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:57:14Vicky, look what you've done to Grandpa.
00:57:16Apologize now!
00:57:17Could this invite actually be fake?
00:57:20Oh, let's go.
00:57:23Wait.
00:57:24Why are you guys running?
00:57:27You were so confident that invite was real.
00:57:31Well, if my invite is fake...
00:57:35Well, then this entire event is a sham and we can go home.
00:57:41Prove it.
00:57:43Open it up and show us.
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:48Yeah?
00:57:48Let us see it.
00:57:49Open it up.
00:57:49Yeah, open it up.
00:57:50Open it!
00:57:52Open it!
00:57:53Open it!
00:57:55Open it!
00:57:56Open it!
00:57:58Come on, bud.
00:58:00Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:58:05Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:58:11Damn right.
00:58:13You know what?
00:58:13Let's make it interesting.
00:58:15If that invite is forged, I'll break your leg.
00:58:21She hands over the quantum chip.
00:58:23And if it's real.
00:58:26Then I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:58:30I'm gonna get the hell out of here.
00:58:33Deal.
00:58:46You call that an invitation?
00:58:49Oh, my God.
00:58:50You have got to be kidding me.
00:58:52Nice.
00:58:54Woo!
00:58:57You see, miss?
00:58:58Oh, okay.
00:58:59This is the sloppiest fake I've ever seen.
00:59:03Listen up, genius.
00:59:05Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
00:59:11Vicky, if you're gonna fake one, at least do your research first.
00:59:17Grandpa was right.
00:59:19You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
00:59:23No.
00:59:25Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
00:59:27You are turning this family into a complete joke.
00:59:31Who said it's fake?
00:59:33Cut the crap.
00:59:35Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:59:40Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
00:59:43Makes sense.
00:59:44They've never seen it before.
00:59:47That doesn't mean it's fake.
00:59:49Enough, Cole.
00:59:51Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
00:59:54And I'm about to make you regret running your mouth.
00:59:57Grab him.
01:00:00I'll break his leg myself.
01:00:18That is the Lester Duvall.
01:00:22He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:00:25I heard he handles everything.
01:00:28All the Shadow Alliance's outside business.
01:00:30I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:00:32If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:00:36You wish.
01:00:37The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:00:41The Kingsley family's already hanging on them.
01:00:45Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:00:48Hmm.
01:00:49Lucky you, Vicky.
01:00:50Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:00:55Once you become the Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:00:59Of course.
01:01:00My family is counting on you.
01:01:04Don't worry.
01:01:05I got it.
01:01:07But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:01:13Yes, of course.
01:01:14Of course.
01:01:16Don't worry.
01:01:17You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:01:22Nobody's changing that.
01:01:23Yeah.
01:01:24We'll see how long that lasts.
01:01:29Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:01:35And he's my cousin.
01:01:36It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:01:41Oh, this is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO of the Kingsley company.
01:01:48Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:01:52Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:01:57Don't mess it up.
01:01:58Got it.
01:01:59Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:02:05Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:02:10Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner of the Shadow Alliance?
01:02:14Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:02:17He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out the invite's fate.
01:02:22That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:02:26The event's just started.
01:02:29Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:02:33Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:02:36And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:02:46Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:02:48Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner
01:02:51and donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:02:59This is our shot.
01:03:01If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:03:06Get back there.
01:03:09The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:13Mr. Duvall, the Vanns are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:03:19Nice job, Tristan.
01:03:22Congrats!
01:03:23If there are no other candidates, I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner...
01:03:28I'm in!
01:03:31I want that partnership, too.
01:03:35Victoria, stop it!
01:03:37Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:03:40Quit embarrassing us!
01:03:41Vicky, I know you want the spotlight.
01:03:44But don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:03:49Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:03:52Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:03:54Serena is our new CEO.
01:03:56That is all you need to know.
01:03:58Victoria never said she wanted to become the Shadow Alliance's partner
01:04:01as part of the Kingsley family.
01:04:03And what does that mean?
01:04:04She's starting her own company.
01:04:07Under her name.
01:04:10Are you serious?
01:04:12A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:04:15Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:04:17You got in here on a fake invite.
01:04:20Don't push your luck.
01:04:21Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:04:28You know, since the Shadow Alliance started,
01:04:32there were two people that forged an invite.
01:04:36And they paid the price.
01:04:40Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:04:44What's the matter?
01:04:45Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:04:48When I show him this fake invite,
01:04:53your cover's blown.
01:04:55And you're done.
01:04:57Cool.
01:05:00Oh, wait.
01:05:02Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:05:07That's the most exclusive invite to the summit.
01:05:11This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:05:13And an outright insult to you.
01:05:16Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:05:20Stop!
01:05:26Mr. Duvall, where are you?
01:05:28That's right.
01:05:29This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:05:34Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:05:35Shut up!
01:05:36Oh, my God.
01:05:40Mr. Slade,
01:05:42this is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:05:45You have access to all of our properties.
01:05:47No interference.
01:05:49What?
01:05:50He doesn't have the authority to get something like this.
01:05:52Are you going to question my judgment?
01:05:56Not now.
01:05:58Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:06:01We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:06:05Vicki,
01:06:06partnerships run on resources.
01:06:09Without the Kingsleys,
01:06:11what can you even do?
01:06:13Oh, my God.
01:06:15Victoria, if you are bound and determined to start your own company,
01:06:19the Kingsley family will give you nothing.
01:06:23Well, sure.
01:06:25Victoria's company is new.
01:06:26It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:06:29But we have something you can't say no to.
01:06:34If you make Victoria your new partner,
01:06:36you're going to make someone really happy.
01:06:38Are you nuts?
01:06:40$50 billion to make one person happy?
01:06:43You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:06:47Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:06:51Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:06:54Exactly who is going to be happy?
01:06:57Well, you're not here to make money or do business.
01:07:02You're just here to please someone.
01:07:04Enough!
01:07:05You know what?
01:07:06Save this for your funeral.
01:07:08Get him out of here!
01:07:09All you have to do is pick Victoria,
01:07:12and you will get exactly what you want.
01:07:16Trust me.
01:07:19The badge I gave you.
01:07:21Where is it?
01:07:29Hold it!
01:07:33Victoria, if this family takes a hit,
01:07:35we're going to sever ties with you for good.
01:07:38Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:07:41Looks pretty pissed, too.
01:07:44Miss Gansley,
01:07:46may I have that badge, please?
01:07:56That, that's it.
01:07:57It's the real thing.
01:07:59Miss Gansley,
01:08:00do you intend to start a new company
01:08:02and form a partnership with the Shadow Alliance?
01:08:06I'm not mission of all.
01:08:06No reason to get upset.
01:08:07I'll get these two out of here.
01:08:09What's the holdup?
01:08:10Move it!
01:08:14You think you can just interrupt me?
01:08:17You see this?
01:08:18I'm in hot water because you two pissed them off.
01:08:21When this summer is over,
01:08:23you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:08:25Don't worry, Tristan.
01:08:26The moment we step out of this room,
01:08:28Victoria's no longer a member of this family.
01:08:31Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:32the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:08:36Our new partner is...
01:08:43Once you land Shadow Alliance,
01:08:45taking down Victoria and Cole
01:08:46is going to be child's play.
01:08:50The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:08:56Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:08:59What?
01:09:00What?
01:09:02Miss Kingsley.
01:09:04Please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:09:06I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:09:09No way!
01:09:11How does it hurt?
01:09:14This has to all be about training.
01:09:17The $50 billion is yours.
01:09:18You can use it as you see fit.
01:09:21And if you need any resources from then on,
01:09:24give the word and I'll make it happen.
01:09:26What is the deal with Victoria?
01:09:29I mean, who is she?
01:09:31The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner with random people.
01:09:35That deal is basically free money.
01:09:38Cole said that Lester was just trying to make people happy, right?
01:09:43Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:09:46He flipped like a switch the second he saw that badge in her hand.
01:09:49He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:09:53No!
01:09:55Man, this is impossible!
01:09:58I never lose!
01:10:00Cole, am I dreaming?
01:10:03When I tell you, if I carry that badge, I'll pick you.
01:10:08Period.
01:10:10But $50 billion?
01:10:13All of one tiny badge?
01:10:16Miss Kingsley, I look forward to working with you.
01:10:19Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:22How come guys sign it?
01:10:23If you need anything in the meantime, you say the word and I'll make it happen.
01:10:26You're serious?
01:10:28All of this is real?
01:10:30Of course it's not real!
01:10:31Wake up!
01:10:32He only picked you because he assumed you were running the Kingsley family!
01:10:37Miss Duvall, she's just a pretty face.
01:10:40She is unfit to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:10:44Okay?
01:10:44She has no resources!
01:10:46Mr. Duvall, if we're talking about power and influence, Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:10:57That's right, Victoria.
01:10:58As of today, you are no longer a member of this family.
01:11:02And without the Kingsley name, you have absolutely nothing to offer!
01:11:06The Shadow Alliance!
01:11:13You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:11:20That's that friend of yours.
01:11:22What's she doing here?
01:11:24I almost thought she was someone important.
01:11:26But if she's Cole's friend, she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:11:29Keep talking like that, and the Van family's going to be six feet under by midnight.
01:11:37Go on, Lester.
01:11:38Tell the distinguished Mr. Van who I am.
01:11:42Oh!
01:11:42Oh, Tristan!
01:11:44Oh, God!
01:11:46This is Miss Amber Cross, the U.S. Director of the Shadow Alliance.
01:11:51And if I remember, you just referred to Miss Cross as a gutter rat.
01:11:57I didn't know who she was.
01:11:58Oh, God!
01:11:59Mr. Duvall, please.
01:12:00Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:12:03Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:12:34What the fuck, man?
01:12:36Even Amber's acting like it's the most valuable thing in the world.
01:12:40Dad, isn't it the same badge Cole tried to give you at the family dinner?
01:12:44No way that thing actually has any real pull.
01:12:47Well, I tried to tell you, this badge could single-handedly make your family crisis disappear and turn you into
01:12:55financial giants.
01:12:56You Kingsley's lit the golden ticket on fire.
01:13:03Seeing this badge is seeing the owner.
01:13:07No one disrespects it.
01:13:09No one.
01:13:11Forget 50 billion.
01:13:12Make it 100.
01:13:14200.
01:13:14Hell, make it the entire Shadow Alliance.
01:13:16If it was the badge owner's orders, we'd have to give it over.
01:13:20No questions asked.
01:13:21The code wasn't bluffing.
01:13:23That means that it's the actual Mona Lisa.
01:13:26Oh, my God.
01:13:28I've crushed our entire family's fortune with my own hands.
01:13:32You...
01:13:32You said that ID was yours.
01:13:37Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:13:40I'm sorry.
01:13:43What?
01:13:46This badge is your ID?
01:13:48You've all heard the legend, right?
01:13:50How there's a phantom tycoon lurking in the shadows.
01:13:55A mystery billionaire who holds the entire economy in the palm of his hand.
01:14:01One word from him?
01:14:03And blue chip stocks cradle.
01:14:06One word, and he turns a deadbeat into a star of high society.
01:14:11And the only way to identify this mystery man,
01:14:15the man who has the power to tilt the world on its axis,
01:14:20is that badge right there?
01:14:22And he is the owner.
01:14:25Cole Slade, the man behind the mask,
01:14:28the real mystery billionaire.
01:14:31Mr. Slade.
01:14:33I am sorry for speaking out of term.
01:14:38Please accept my apologies.
01:14:40Lester, really?
01:14:41Please, let's cut the formalities.
01:14:44It's a fake, okay?
01:14:46It has to be a fake!
01:14:47Lester.
01:14:48I want you to bankrupt the Van family.
01:14:52In three minutes or less.
01:14:54Yes, sir.
01:14:58I'm sorry, Mr. Slade.
01:14:59Please, please, please.
01:15:03Mr. Slade, the Van Group stock has just tanked.
01:15:09They are now bankrupt.
01:15:21Get off of me!
01:15:23Get off of me!
01:15:23Get off of me!
01:15:25Get off of me!
01:15:28Since you love him so much,
01:15:31you can go keep him company.
01:15:33Okay, let's go.
01:15:36Vicky, we're family!
01:15:39I'm your cousin!
01:15:40Please don't do this!
01:15:42Family, my days as a Kingsley are over.
01:15:47I'm going to walk myself.
01:15:54Well, now that you Kingsleys are nothing to Victoria,
01:15:58I want you to do yourselves a favor and get out of our sight.
01:16:02If I were to so much as see your faces again,
01:16:06it would be as if the Kingsley name never existed.
01:16:12So, Victoria has the Shadow Alliance deal
01:16:15and her parents' research is safe.
01:16:18You've accomplished your mission, right?
01:16:20All there's left for you to do
01:16:22is leave her and marry me.
01:16:30Victoria, don't.
01:16:33Cole, I know you knew my brother.
01:16:37I'm safe now, okay?
01:16:39You should go.
01:16:43Thank you for everything.
01:16:50Victoria.
01:16:51Cole, stop.
01:16:54You've already done so much for me.
01:16:57I can't keep weighing you down.
01:17:03Remember when you asked if I ever served in the military?
01:17:07So, you're finally ready to tell me?
01:17:10I served with your brother, Alex.
01:17:12You knew my brother?
01:17:13We were brothers in arms.
01:17:16His last words were to keep you safe.
01:17:18He's dead?
01:17:21The mission failed.
01:17:23He didn't make it back.
01:17:26He didn't want you to know
01:17:27because he was afraid it was going to break you.
01:17:29Why didn't you tell me?
01:17:32Why didn't you let me see him one last time?
01:17:37Go.
01:17:38I'll take you, too.
01:17:43Alex,
01:17:44you're such a jerk.
01:17:47Do you know how hard it's been?
01:17:49All on my own.
01:17:52Everyone tried to tear me apart.
01:17:54But now,
01:17:55I have Cole.
01:17:58I think...
01:17:59I think I'm in love with him.
01:18:04He's the most powerful man in the Federation.
01:18:07I'm not good enough, am I?
01:18:09I'm sure you'd call me stupid again.
01:18:20What the hell?
01:18:25Alex?
01:18:28Hey, man.
01:18:34Now you remember our pact?
01:18:37Whoever dies first,
01:18:38the other has to wear a wedding dress.
01:18:41And that's for the bride.
01:18:47Well, that's your sister.
01:18:49What?
01:18:51Have you lost your mind?
01:18:53Victoria Kingsley.
01:18:56Your brother asked me to guard you for life
01:18:58if you didn't make it back.
01:19:01But I don't want to just be a guard, too.
01:19:04Is this your idea of a proposal
01:19:06in a wedding dress?
01:19:09Just keep my promise
01:19:11in marrying you.
01:19:14Unless you have a problem with that.
01:19:17Idiot.
01:19:30Rest easy, my brother.
01:19:32I'll protect you.
