00:00:07Alex! Alex! Man down! We have a man down! We need backup now!
00:00:14Cole, you guys are surrounded, man. Let's get out of here. Looks like you won the bet.
00:00:20Alright, we're getting out of here together.
00:00:23Take this.
00:00:26You are the best of the best.
00:00:28Promise me to get back home to protect my sister, Victoria.
00:00:35The Kingsley family is a snake pit you have to protect her.
00:00:39It was an honor serving with you.
00:00:47Alex!
00:00:54Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:00:58I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance, the country's largest veterans' network.
00:01:04The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared, and respected across the world.
00:01:10But I chose a much simpler post.
00:01:12Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:01:16Keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:01:18To protect Victoria.
00:01:20To protect Victoria.
00:01:22To protect Victoria.
00:01:40Good morning, boss.
00:01:58After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:02:01No more hiding my identity.
00:02:29No more hiding my identity.
00:02:30I've been around here, I have better things to do.
00:02:35I'll take that back.
00:02:36My brides rolling up.
00:02:38Showtime, baby.
00:03:02Skip the speeches, no pictures, no champagne power.
00:03:05I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:03:08I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:03:09Um, boss...
00:03:11Nobody's here.
00:03:12Not even the groom.
00:03:16Where is everyone?
00:03:18I just got word.
00:03:19The groom's backed out.
00:03:21He said...
00:03:22Said what?
00:03:24He said that if you're the one that Tristan Vann wants, no man in the city will dare to marry
00:03:29you.
00:03:31Tell Tristan to leave me the hell alone.
00:03:34That idiot doesn't get to decide how I live my life.
00:03:37But boss, the deadline for your marriage is coming up.
00:03:40If you don't get married soon, then they'll...
00:03:42Take back my parents' company, right?
00:03:45My parents might be dead.
00:03:47And my brother might have gone missing.
00:03:49But no one's touching our family business.
00:04:01Congratulations on the wedding, Miss Kingsley.
00:04:07Who are you?
00:04:09Cole Slade.
00:04:10You married?
00:04:11No.
00:04:12Girlfriends?
00:04:13Also no.
00:04:14Good.
00:04:15Then you can marry me.
00:04:24Sorry, no can do.
00:04:29It's purely transactional.
00:04:31I'll pay you a salary for every month that you're my husband.
00:04:3420k.
00:04:35How does that sound?
00:04:37After a year, we can get divorced.
00:04:40Still no.
00:04:42Do you know who I am?
00:04:44I'm Victoria Kingsley.
00:04:46CEO of Kingsley Tech.
00:04:51Fine.
00:04:52Name your price.
00:04:54I know who you are, Miss Kingsley.
00:04:55That's exactly why I can't marry you.
00:04:57You're the sister of my best friend.
00:04:59Someone I swore to protect.
00:05:01Not everything is buffer.
00:05:03Seriously?
00:05:03You're a goddamn security guard.
00:05:05You have no right to turn down my boss.
00:05:08No, no.
00:05:08It's fine.
00:05:11I'll handle this.
00:05:12You try to put out the fires with my family.
00:05:17No.
00:05:33Tristan Vann.
00:05:35Kingsley's arch nemesis.
00:05:41What is he doing here?
00:05:52Move the car, dog.
00:05:58Alex.
00:06:00I can't do this anymore.
00:06:04Where are you?
00:06:06Oh, Vicky.
00:06:08I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:06:13Alex.
00:06:14Looks like your sister's in trouble.
00:06:19Who the hell let you in here?
00:06:21Victoria Kingsley.
00:06:23You know how much I love you.
00:06:26Marry me.
00:06:27And you know I'd rather die than marry you.
00:06:31Oh, baby.
00:06:32But then...
00:06:34You lose Kingsley Corp.
00:06:36Newsflash.
00:06:37Every man in the city knows you're mine.
00:06:41No one's gonna marry you, sweet cheeks.
00:06:44It's either me or nothing.
00:06:48Your ass is mine.
00:06:51Not in a million years, you scumbag.
00:06:54You think I don't know?
00:06:56You're just after the quantum chip tech my parents left behind.
00:06:59And marrying me happens to be the fastest, cleanest way to get your hands on it.
00:07:03Fine.
00:07:05You caught me.
00:07:07Well then, let's make this marriage official.
00:07:11Get off me!
00:07:15Go ahead.
00:07:16Scream your little heart out.
00:07:25Yo, where the hell you going?
00:07:27I'm going in.
00:07:29No man is brave enough to play savior from this kingdom.
00:07:50I am.
00:08:04Who the fuck are you?
00:08:06Leave him alone. He has nothing to do with this.
00:08:09This guy must have a death wish.
00:08:12You think you can come in here and play hero?
00:08:16Do you know who the fuck I am?
00:08:19I don't give a shit who you are.
00:08:21Victoria is my fiance.
00:08:27You marry Victoria Kingsley.
00:08:30Don't make me laugh.
00:08:31That's right.
00:08:33We're getting married and there's nothing you can do to change that, Tristan.
00:08:36Sorry, buddy.
00:08:38When you're going out on the body bag, Victoria is mine.
00:08:43Kill this cocky piece of shit.
00:08:45Let's go.
00:09:00You can't just be a security guard.
00:09:01You can't just be a security guard.
00:09:02You can't just be a security guard.
00:09:16But I am.
00:09:25Easy there, bud.
00:09:26I don't get too trigger happy.
00:09:28Laying your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:09:31You want to fight?
00:09:32Try someone your own size.
00:09:34You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:09:36I'll give you that.
00:09:38Do you think this shit scares me?
00:09:42Kingsley Banquets tonight?
00:09:44I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:09:51Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:09:53Is that a threat?
00:09:54No.
00:09:55Just the truth.
00:09:57The Kingsleys are broke, Vicky.
00:10:03You think this runner cop's going to fix that?
00:10:07Well, if I can't fix it.
00:10:10I think this will.
00:10:12No, no, no, no.
00:10:13If you kill me, the Kingsleys are finished.
00:10:18We'll see about that.
00:10:20Fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:10:21We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:10:24Please.
00:10:26Don't kill me.
00:10:31Get the fuck out.
00:10:37Thanks for saving me just now.
00:10:40You okay?
00:10:42Cole.
00:10:58Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:11:00Will you marry me?
00:11:04Marry you?
00:11:05You've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck, and you want me to marry you?
00:11:11Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:11:13You're right.
00:11:15It's too much to ask.
00:11:28But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:11:34So yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:11:38Really?
00:11:39Let's go make it official.
00:11:41Alex, if marrying your sister is the only way to protect her, then I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:11:46I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:11:48Let's go.
00:11:52Oh my god, boss, you did it!
00:11:54You really did it!
00:11:56This means you saved your parents' company!
00:11:58Yes, yes, keep your voice down, Emily.
00:12:01By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:12:05You're coming with me.
00:12:06Your call.
00:12:08And...
00:12:12Here's a hundred grand.
00:12:14I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:12:17Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsleys, got it?
00:12:22But boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:12:28Let's just hope it works.
00:12:30I've gotta get back to the office.
00:12:34Alex, you're right.
00:12:37The Kingsley family really is a snake pet.
00:12:40Yeah, it's me.
00:12:42Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:12:44Oh.
00:12:46Make it big.
00:12:56Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of your father, Alistair.
00:13:03It was very impressive.
00:13:05It's just another small win for the family, nothing to brag about.
00:13:28Mr. Kingsley, to many more years of good health and fortune.
00:13:31How's Father Alistair?
00:13:34I've been, uh, praying for him.
00:13:37I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:13:41He's fine.
00:13:44Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shiny.
00:13:50What is it?
00:13:51Jesus!
00:13:52That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:13:57Last I heard it was going for three million.
00:13:59That is a very generous gift.
00:14:01Three million?
00:14:02That's gotta be worth at least five.
00:14:04Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:14:06A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:14:09That's too bad.
00:14:11Because Miss Victoria has given a heart to someone else.
00:14:15Has she?
00:14:36Who is that with Victoria?
00:14:39Her security guard.
00:14:42Wow, the mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather Alistair Kingsley is sick.
00:14:49I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:14:53Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:14:55Guess Victoria's lost it.
00:14:58Victoria, who is this?
00:14:59Uncle, this is Cole Slade.
00:15:03My husband.
00:15:04Husband.
00:15:06You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:15:09You're young, you know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:15:12This isn't a tantrum.
00:15:14And it's not about money, either.
00:15:16I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:15:20Oh.
00:15:22Now that you're married niece?
00:15:24Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:15:29You know, this is a family banquet.
00:15:31You didn't come empty-handed, did you?
00:15:34Tristan brought a five mil revolver for Grandpa.
00:15:37What about you, Vicky?
00:15:39What did you bring?
00:15:40Oh, shoot.
00:15:41I only gave Cole a hundred grand.
00:15:43Tristan dropped five mil?
00:15:45We're screwed.
00:15:47Of course we did.
00:15:55Cole, you actually brought something?
00:15:59Of course we brought a gift.
00:16:00Well, let's see what he's got.
00:16:02Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:16:19What is this?
00:16:20Seriously?
00:16:22That's the gift?
00:16:22It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance bin.
00:16:29Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:16:32You can't just phone it in.
00:16:33But a security guard is a security guard.
00:16:38Cole, I thought I gave you a hundred grand house.
00:16:41Now, are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:16:46Go on.
00:16:48I'm listening.
00:16:49Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:16:52Let me guess.
00:16:53My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:16:59Let the kid talk.
00:17:01This is the Shadow Alliance badge.
00:17:05Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:17:10Oh, my God.
00:17:12The Shadow Alliance holds sway over government and the criminal underworld.
00:17:16They practically run the whole world.
00:17:18With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that trans-Pacific trade route permit they've been dreaming
00:17:24about for years.
00:17:25Wait.
00:17:27Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:29You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:17:36Who are you and what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:17:39I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:17:42This badge is my ID.
00:17:45It carries my authority.
00:17:47This rent-a-cop, the founder of the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:51Don't make me laugh.
00:17:52Vicky, your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:17:57Yo, security guy.
00:17:58Do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:18:02Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lives to cover it
00:18:07up?
00:18:07Of course not, Victoria.
00:18:09Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:18:12Get out.
00:18:14And don't show your face around here again.
00:18:17Especially in front of your grandfather.
00:18:21This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:18:27You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:18:31But luckily, I brought back up.
00:18:37Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art.
00:18:40So I had my people send this over right away.
00:18:49The original, Mona Lisa.
00:18:53So what do you think?
00:18:55A little more to your liking?
00:18:58This can't be real.
00:18:59That painting is worth ten billion.
00:19:05Mission accomplished.
00:19:10Wait, boss.
00:19:10Didn't you just give him a hundred grand?
00:19:12Where did the ten billion come from?
00:19:15I have no idea.
00:19:17This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:19:20You might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:19:23What's the point?
00:19:24You ran him off.
00:19:26Oh.
00:19:27Mr. Slate is a very generous man.
00:19:31What are you waiting for?
00:19:33Go chase after him.
00:19:35Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:19:37Having gold diggers as family is humiliating.
00:19:55Ten billion blown.
00:19:57Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:20:00Bunch of money-hungry jackasses.
00:20:04Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:20:08Really?
00:20:09A guy who could pull out ten billion without blinking is eating this?
00:20:13Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:20:20Get in.
00:20:32So, where are we going?
00:20:34Home.
00:20:37We're moving a little quick, aren't we?
00:20:39I'm cooking.
00:20:41Just figured I'd think you properly.
00:20:45Hold on.
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:46Victoria Kingsley in the kitchen.
00:20:49Wow.
00:20:50Okay, you know what?
00:20:51I'm going to have to record this just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:20:55Buy my phone.
00:20:57Ugh, shut up.
00:20:58Buckle up.
00:21:03Excuse me, my parents' place.
00:21:05Security is solid.
00:21:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:21:08I'm going to go change.
00:21:22I'm going to go change.
00:21:25How's steak sound?
00:21:27Wow, you actually cook.
00:21:29I thought you just signed checks.
00:21:32There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:21:34That ten billion.
00:21:36Where did it actually come from?
00:21:41Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:21:46Me? No, it was...
00:21:54Are you crazy?
00:22:15Security is solid, huh?
00:22:18How did you know this place was bugged?
00:22:21Occupational hazard?
00:22:23Security guards supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:22:26A security guard who throws around ten billion like it's pocket change?
00:22:32I'll pay you back soon.
00:22:34Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast somewhere at the Maple Hotel.
00:22:38To decide on the next big partnership.
00:22:49That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:22:52The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:22:57You're telling me this little thing's that powerful?
00:23:00You'll see.
00:23:01Fine.
00:23:02I owe you.
00:23:04Twice.
00:23:06Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:23:08And our marriage, which, by the way...
00:23:11What?
00:23:13Is a contract.
00:23:14So we need rules.
00:23:18I'm listening.
00:23:21Rule number one.
00:23:22Stay out of each other's love lives.
00:23:25Fair.
00:23:26Rule number two.
00:23:27My place isn't safe anymore.
00:23:29My grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:23:32So we act like the perfect couple.
00:23:38Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:23:44Rule three.
00:23:47My bedroom is off limits.
00:23:50To everyone.
00:23:52But me.
00:23:55Especially.
00:23:56No kissing, no sex.
00:23:58No kissing, no sex.
00:24:00Yeah.
00:24:02Really, it'd be the perfect couple.
00:24:04Not my problem.
00:24:16No eggs tonight.
00:24:18You're allergic.
00:24:21How did you know that?
00:24:23You're spying on me too?
00:24:26Relax.
00:24:27Just break room gossip, that's all.
00:24:30Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:24:34What is that worth, like, a million bucks?
00:24:36My allergies are none of your business.
00:24:40Just sit down and wait.
00:24:42Dinner will be ready soon.
00:24:43Do you want to have a new meal?
00:24:57You can feel like a month.
00:24:58I will just relax.
00:24:58Do it.
00:25:01Do it.
00:25:10I will be ready.
00:25:10Do it.
00:25:13The thing is.
00:25:17Surveillance, too.
00:25:19Just like I thought.
00:25:59I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:26:03Why can't I resist him?
00:26:14Damn, wifey.
00:26:16How is Oscar worthy?
00:26:18It was an accident.
00:26:20Honey, the steak's burning.
00:26:31You did that on purpose.
00:26:33Just another day in married life.
00:26:36Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:26:39Shut up.
00:26:41Need a hand, wifey?
00:26:43Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:26:46Feisty.
00:26:47Like it.
00:27:10Looks like these two are getting along.
00:27:13Better than we expected.
00:27:15Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:27:20That coal guy just casually drops ten billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:25All the bugs are dead?
00:27:26Every single one.
00:27:28Every single one.
00:27:28And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:33Interesting.
00:27:34Seems like our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:27:39Mm-hmm.
00:27:40And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:41I went through all the contacts we have.
00:27:44Still nothing.
00:27:45No bank accounts, no bank accounts, no credit history, not even a parking ticket.
00:27:52There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:27:56The spies.
00:27:58The dead.
00:28:02And those richer than us.
00:28:05So which one is he?
00:28:07Excuse me, miss.
00:28:08You can't enter.
00:28:09Get out of my way.
00:28:11I'm so sorry, Mr. Kinsley.
00:28:15So it was you.
00:28:18You planted the bugs.
00:28:22Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:25Protect it?
00:28:26You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:29Enough!
00:28:33Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:37Some hot shot?
00:28:39Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:42A hot shot?
00:28:43He's just our company's security guard.
00:28:47You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:28:50You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:28:54Explain the $10 billion.
00:28:56There's only two options here.
00:28:58One, you funneled company funds.
00:29:03Two,
00:29:05the gifts are fakes.
00:29:11All of them.
00:29:16There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:29:19So that only leaves one option.
00:29:21The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:29:24Knockoffs?
00:29:25Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:29:29Told you, Dad.
00:29:30She's always been a stain on this family.
00:29:34Stop making assumptions.
00:29:36Just because you don't know who coal is doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:29:39Shut up!
00:29:40The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some rent-a-cop.
00:29:43No, you shut up!
00:29:44Even if the gifts are fake, I would still never marry Tristan.
00:29:46Ever!
00:29:52Serena, from now on, I want you to spend more time with Tristan Vann.
00:29:57The Kingsleys need the Vann family support now more than ever.
00:30:02Yes, Dad.
00:30:04I'll give him a call.
00:30:11The Vann family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:30:14We will secure their deal in three days' time with the Vann family's support.
00:30:18By our side.
00:30:22Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel
00:30:27to decide on the next big partnership.
00:30:32That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:30:34The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get the money back, right?
00:30:40The Vanns have the power to open the door.
00:30:43We just have to follow their lead and take our cut.
00:30:48Tori, when everything ends, I want you to resign.
00:30:51It's time to rethink who runs the family business.
00:30:57Dearest cousin,
00:31:00what do we do with this pile of junk from your rent-a-cop boyfriend?
00:31:04Burn it.
00:31:06All of it.
00:31:08The Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:31:16No, wait.
00:31:18Just wait.
00:31:19It's not...
00:31:20Wait!
00:31:29It's Pinky.
00:31:30You can't come in.
00:31:31No, no, stop.
00:31:31What are you doing?
00:31:32It's for real Mona Lisa.
00:31:34Listen.
00:31:38No!
00:31:39Stop!
00:31:40No!
00:31:42No!
00:31:56Stop!
00:31:57They were real!
00:31:58Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:32:04Let this be a warning to you.
00:32:06You'll regret this.
00:32:08No, you will regret this.
00:32:11Once I marry Tristan, you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:32:30You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up at my place like this.
00:32:39Look at yourself killed.
00:32:47Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:50You're miles above her.
00:32:56You know why the Vann family gets an invite?
00:33:01Because we do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:33:06Anything.
00:33:08That's something you and I have in common.
00:33:12If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance,
00:33:18I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:27See, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:33:38You're right.
00:33:41There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:33:46Which one's your favorite?
00:33:51The one where you're on your knees.
00:33:55Now we're talking.
00:34:20Since I realized your talents,
00:34:23I believe I can get the King's lead to the summit.
00:34:26Oh, Mr. Vann.
00:34:28I knew you would come to your senses.
00:34:30A man of your talents?
00:34:33Nothing's impossible.
00:34:35You haven't heard the cost yet.
00:34:38You have a lot of work to do.
00:34:43To earn
00:34:46a privilege of an invite.
00:34:48That was only a taste
00:34:50of what I'm capable of.
00:34:52Well, I guess I have to find out that
00:34:54later.
00:34:56But
00:34:56now,
00:34:57I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:35:01Victoria's company?
00:35:03It's been falling apart
00:35:04ever since her parents died.
00:35:07I'm serious.
00:35:09If it didn't have the King's name on it,
00:35:11nobody in my family
00:35:12would even care about it.
00:35:14That's not your problem.
00:35:16Do
00:35:16what I say,
00:35:19or you'll be left with nothing.
00:35:23All right.
00:35:25Good thing we still have an insider in her company.
00:35:30That's better.
00:35:41Three days into the summit,
00:35:44I have to lock priority access.
00:35:49Power outage?
00:36:11Paul?
00:36:14Mike?
00:36:16Anybody?
00:36:32Who's there?
00:36:37I just heard this.
00:36:41There.
00:37:11Breaker room should be...
00:37:14Check department now.
00:37:18Who are you?
00:37:19You really can't tell.
00:37:22It's you?
00:37:30Emily!
00:37:31It's you?
00:37:32Surprise.
00:37:34Emily,
00:37:35since the day you've joined this company,
00:37:37vacations,
00:37:38bonuses,
00:37:38raises,
00:37:39you've had everything.
00:37:40Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:37:42Quit whining!
00:37:44You've been good to me,
00:37:46Victoria,
00:37:46but the Van family's offering war.
00:37:50Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:58I am your employee,
00:38:00not your slave.
00:38:01I've got a better deal now,
00:38:03and you should be happy for me.
00:38:05Emily,
00:38:06you've let money blind you.
00:38:08Shut up!
00:38:10You're taking me to the tech department now!
00:38:18Move it!
00:38:19Move it!
00:38:30Finally!
00:38:31Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:34Not so fast.
00:38:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:37This tech is split into three parts.
00:38:41You've only got one of them.
00:38:43Where's the rest?
00:38:45Tell me!
00:38:46You wish.
00:38:49Then die!
00:38:58It's a cute toy.
00:39:00It barely even stings.
00:39:01But enough to make you feel every moment.
00:39:09You're good, huh?
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:32Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:36I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:39:40What's Tristan after, anyway?
00:39:42That's worth going this far.
00:39:45The quantum chip tech.
00:39:47My parents' last research.
00:39:50From the sham engagement
00:39:52to buying off my uncle,
00:39:53every move led to this.
00:39:55I just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:59Say the word,
00:40:00and I'll make them all disappear.
00:40:03No.
00:40:03It's fine.
00:40:05I'll figure something out.
00:40:07How?
00:40:08As long as we land new deals,
00:40:11you won't have any hold over us.
00:40:20Motherfucker!
00:40:24It's Cole again!
00:40:25He's fucking it all up!
00:40:28Little fucking mutt!
00:40:31Easy, babe.
00:40:33Easy, babe.
00:40:33I know how to deal with Cole.
00:40:35I have an idea.
00:40:37Oh, yeah?
00:40:38What?
00:40:41No matter how tough you are,
00:40:44if a woman's got your interest,
00:40:47you're done for.
00:40:50I like that.
00:40:51I like that life.
00:41:10Who is this?
00:41:12Come on, Cole.
00:41:13Don't be so mean.
00:41:14I'm just trying to help.
00:41:16Listen,
00:41:17the Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:41:20What's your point?
00:41:21All right, all right.
00:41:23My point is,
00:41:25they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:41:27And if it leaks,
00:41:28she's screwed.
00:41:31Who the hell are you?
00:41:32What do you want?
00:41:33Relax.
00:41:34I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:36Just meet me at the bar tonight,
00:41:38eight o'clock.
00:41:39And maybe,
00:41:40I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:48Cole,
00:41:49what's going on, man?
00:41:50I've got to head out for a bit.
00:41:52Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:41:53If anything happens,
00:41:54call me.
00:42:23I'll take care of this for you.
00:42:29Hey, handsome.
00:42:30You want to have some fun?
00:42:34I've been waiting for you.
00:42:39Take it easy,
00:42:40big guy.
00:42:44All right.
00:42:46All right.
00:42:59All right.
00:43:13All right.
00:43:41You're lucky I don't hit women.
00:43:44What if you keep pushing me?
00:43:48I will.
00:43:51Just join me for a drink.
00:43:54For Victoria and her company.
00:44:00I knew that name would get you back.
00:44:09Cut the crap.
00:44:11You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:44:13I'm not going to let that happen.
00:44:16Have your drink.
00:44:18And then...
00:44:21I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:38Call me, you asshole.
00:44:50Tell me now.
00:45:01The truck man.
00:45:03No.
00:45:05Better.
00:45:06It's my own special blend.
00:45:08It's an aphrodisiac.
00:45:14You got two options.
00:45:16One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you that antidote.
00:45:23Or two, we skip the business.
00:45:27We have a little bit of fun.
00:45:30And she can find out the messy way.
00:45:32No, no.
00:45:33Don't move.
00:45:35Don't move.
00:45:45You're coming in.
00:45:45Thanks for watching over my husband.
00:45:47He's coming home with me now.
00:45:49Oh no.
00:45:49Yeah, sweetheart at least, so he's here and he's mine.
00:45:54I'm sorry.
00:45:56Nothing happened between us, I swear.
00:45:58I know.
00:45:59You have better taste than this.
00:46:02Excuse me?
00:46:04Come on, Cole.
00:46:05Let's go home.
00:46:15It's too hot.
00:46:17I can't breathe.
00:46:27Call Slade.
00:46:29Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:46:33My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:38Who are you?
00:46:44Cole!
00:47:03Cole!
00:47:05Did you just kiss me?
00:47:27How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:33Cole!
00:47:35Cole!
00:47:56Morning.
00:47:59Morning.
00:48:05Last night, did we, um...
00:48:07Nope.
00:48:09Nothing happened.
00:48:17You seem almost happy about that.
00:48:22Uh...
00:48:24You were in the military?
00:48:26Um, no.
00:48:29No.
00:48:36What are you looking at?
00:48:39Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. director.
00:48:43What?
00:48:45It's a woman.
00:48:46Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:48:50How did you know her name is Amber?
00:48:53Uh...
00:48:56Uh, why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:48:59Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:49:03Odds are it'll be the Van family.
00:49:06If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:49:11So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:49:14Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:49:18Doesn't your family already have one?
00:49:19Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:49:22Why?
00:49:23I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:49:25They earned it.
00:49:29Said it was a knockoff.
00:49:31I'll pay you back.
00:49:38If I get you that...
00:49:47Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:49:57Come again?
00:50:07If you can really get me that invite...
00:50:13I will do...
00:50:17anything you want.
00:50:22Just carry that badge with you.
00:50:24I'll take care of the rest.
00:50:35Go on ahead.
00:50:38You're not coming in with me?
00:50:40I'll catch up.
00:50:43Okay.
00:50:52Give me an invite to the Sun.
00:50:55The best one you got.
00:50:57Now.
00:51:08Cole, they've already kicked out two execs for not having invites.
00:51:11If we can't...
00:51:12Hey, hey.
00:51:13Don't worry.
00:51:15Not only are you getting in,
00:51:17you're also walking out with the dew.
00:51:19Oh, yeah, right.
00:51:21If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me
00:51:23and keep my parents' research safe,
00:51:25that's all I need.
00:51:26Victoria,
00:51:27you have to trust me.
00:51:30Say hi.
00:51:31Ha!
00:51:32Got you, Cole.
00:51:43Oh, come on, Cole.
00:51:45Don't you miss me?
00:51:46I missed you so much.
00:51:48Okay, you have got to knock it off.
00:51:51All right, I'm just friends with your dad.
00:51:53That's it.
00:51:54Who cares?
00:51:56I like you,
00:51:57and I'm not letting go.
00:51:59Come on.
00:52:00Hand it.
00:52:01Hand it.
00:52:02Victoria.
00:52:08Miss Cross.
00:52:10My wife does not like that.
00:52:14Now.
00:52:15The invite.
00:52:17Here.
00:52:18The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:52:22Thanks.
00:52:24Hold up.
00:52:25You're really going to give out this invite?
00:52:27This invite is worth a fortune.
00:52:29No one else has ever gotten one.
00:52:31This is the first and the only.
00:52:35I know.
00:52:37But it's for my wife.
00:52:41Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:52:46I've got to see what kind of woman
00:52:48has got Cole all hung up.
00:52:51Victoria.
00:52:52Wait.
00:52:53Look, she's just a friend.
00:52:55That's all.
00:52:56Don't touch me.
00:52:57Go away.
00:52:58Come.
00:52:59Come.
00:53:12Trust me.
00:53:14She's just a friend.
00:53:16She came to drop off the invite.
00:53:19That's all.
00:53:20Yeah, right.
00:53:22Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left,
00:53:24another on the right.
00:53:25Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:53:32You feel that?
00:53:34It only beats for you.
00:53:38Just you.
00:53:49The invite?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:51Someone's about to begin.
00:53:54Let's head in.
00:53:56I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:13Hello.
00:54:20Hello.
00:54:23Grandpa?
00:54:23Huh? Tristan's cousin is the host tonight. Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like
00:54:30this.
00:54:32Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan. And to you. You're the reason he's helping us.
00:54:37Oh, Grandpa, it's the least I can do. You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:54:45Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away. She is not fit to be the
00:54:52CEO.
00:54:56Victoria, I told you marrying me is your best option. But you didn't listen.
00:55:02Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:55:07And when that day comes, you'll be mine. Just something to use however I want.
00:55:17Is it that Victorian call?
00:55:23What the hell are they doing here?
00:55:32Mr. Kingsley.
00:55:35Grandpa?
00:55:37Victoria, coming in under Tristan's name is one thing.
00:55:40But to bring this? This guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:55:45I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:55:47Grandpa, I don't understand. I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be
00:55:53here.
00:55:54And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:55:57Sure, if you got that invite yourself, but you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:56:03Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:56:08I'm here because I got the invite myself. Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:14Oh, come on, Vicky. This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:56:21No one's looking for eye candy.
00:56:23If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:56:27You come in over here. Trying to steal a spotlight is embarrassing.
00:56:34Why don't you take a good look?
00:56:37You really think you got that on your own?
00:56:41More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:56:47That's weird.
00:56:49I never told the host to let her in.
00:56:52There's only one way that's possible.
00:56:54It's fake.
00:57:04Can you believe it?
00:57:06Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:57:10That's insane.
00:57:12If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:57:16No, no, you've got it wrong.
00:57:20It doesn't matter if this invite is real or not.
00:57:24That's not your call to me.
00:57:25Shut up!
00:57:27Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:57:30Victoria, you need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:57:36Vicky, look what you've done to Grandpa. Apologize now!
00:57:40Could this invite actually be fake?
00:57:43Oh, let's go.
00:57:45Wait.
00:57:46Why are you guys running?
00:57:49You were so confident that invite was real.
00:57:54Well, if my invite is fake.
00:57:58Well, then this entire event is a sham and we can go home.
00:58:03Prove it.
00:58:05Open it up and show us.
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:10Let us see it.
00:58:11Open it up.
00:58:12Open it up.
00:58:13Open it.
00:58:14Open it.
00:58:16Open it.
00:58:17Open it.
00:58:18Open it.
00:58:22Come on, bud.
00:58:24Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:58:29Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:58:35Damn right.
00:58:36You know what?
00:58:37Let's make it interesting.
00:58:39If that invite is forged, I'll break your leg.
00:58:44She hands over the quantum chip.
00:58:47And if it's real.
00:58:50And I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:58:54I'll get the hell out of here.
00:58:57Deal.
00:59:11You call that an invitation?
00:59:13Oh, my God.
00:59:14You have got to be kidding me.
00:59:16Nice.
00:59:21You see it, miss?
00:59:23Oh, man.
00:59:23This is the sloppiest fake I've ever seen.
00:59:27Listen up, genius.
00:59:29Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
00:59:36Vicky, if you're going to fake one, at least do your research first.
00:59:42Grandpa was right.
00:59:44You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
00:59:49Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
00:59:51You are turning this family into a complete joke.
00:59:55Who said it's fake?
00:59:57Cut the crap.
00:59:59Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:00:04Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
01:00:08Makes sense.
01:00:08They've never seen it before.
01:00:11That doesn't mean it's fake.
01:00:13Enough, Cole.
01:00:15Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
01:00:19And I'm about to make you regret running your mouth.
01:00:22Grab him.
01:00:24I'll break his leg myself.
01:00:27Fuck.
01:00:43That is the Lester Duvall.
01:00:46He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:00:50I heard he handles everything.
01:00:52All the Shadow Alliance's outside business.
01:00:54I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:00:56If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:01:01You wish.
01:01:02The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:01:05The Kingsley family's already hanging on them.
01:01:09Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:01:13Lucky you, Vicky.
01:01:15Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:01:19Once you become the Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:01:23Of course.
01:01:25My family is counting on you.
01:01:29Don't worry.
01:01:30I got it.
01:01:32But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:01:38Yes, of course.
01:01:39Of course.
01:01:40Don't worry.
01:01:41You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:01:46Nobody's changing that.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:48We'll see how long that lasts.
01:01:53Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:01:59And he's my cousin.
01:02:01It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:02:06This is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO.
01:02:10The Kingsley Company.
01:02:12Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:02:16Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:02:21Don't mess it up.
01:02:23Got it.
01:02:24Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:02:30Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:02:35Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner of the Shadow Alliance?
01:02:38Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:02:41He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out the invite's fate.
01:02:47That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:02:51The event's just started.
01:02:54Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:02:58Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:03:01And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:11Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:03:13Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner
01:03:16and donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:03:24This is our shot.
01:03:26If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:03:31Get back there.
01:03:33The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:38Mr. Duvall, the Vanns are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:03:44Nice job, Tristan.
01:03:46Congrats!
01:03:48If there are no other candidates,
01:03:50I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner...
01:03:53I'm in!
01:03:55Fuck!
01:03:56I want that partnership, too.
01:04:00Victoria, stop it!
01:04:02Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:04:05Quit embarrassing us!
01:04:06Vicky, I know you want the spotlight,
01:04:09but don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:04:14Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:04:17Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:04:19Serena is our new CEO.
01:04:21That is all you need to know.
01:04:23Victoria never said she wanted to become the Shadow Alliance's partner
01:04:26as part of the Kingsley family.
01:04:28And what does that mean?
01:04:29She's starting her own company.
01:04:32Under her name.
01:04:35Are you serious?
01:04:37A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:04:40Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:04:42You got in here on a fake invite.
01:04:45Don't push your luck.
01:04:46Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:04:53You know, since the Shadow Alliance started,
01:04:58there were two people that forged an invite.
01:05:01And they paid the price.
01:05:05Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:05:09What's the matter?
01:05:10Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:05:13When I show them this fake invite,
01:05:19your cover's blown.
01:05:20And you're done.
01:05:22Cool.
01:05:25Oh, wait.
01:05:28Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:05:32That's the most exclusive invite to the summit.
01:05:36This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:05:38And an outright insult to you.
01:05:42Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:05:45Stop!
01:05:51Mr. Duvall, where are you?
01:05:54That's right.
01:05:55This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:05:59Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:06:00Shut up!
01:06:02Oh, my God.
01:06:05Mr. Slade,
01:06:07this is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:06:11You have access to all of our properties.
01:06:13No interference.
01:06:15What?
01:06:16He doesn't have the authority to get something like this.
01:06:18Are you going to question my judgment?
01:06:21Not now.
01:06:23Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:06:26We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:06:30Vicky,
01:06:32partnerships run on resources.
01:06:35Without the Kingsleys,
01:06:36what can you even do?
01:06:39Victoria,
01:06:40if you are found and determined
01:06:42to start your own company,
01:06:44the Kingsley family will give you nothing.
01:06:49Well, sure.
01:06:50Victoria's company is new.
01:06:52It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:06:54But we have something you can't say no to.
01:07:00If you make Victoria your new partner,
01:07:02you're going to make someone really happy.
01:07:04Are you nuts?
01:07:06$50 billion to make one person happy?
01:07:09Do you think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:07:13Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:16Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:19Exactly who
01:07:21is going to be happy?
01:07:23Well, you're not here to
01:07:25make money or do business.
01:07:27You're just here to please someone.
01:07:30Enough!
01:07:31You know what?
01:07:31Save this for your funeral.
01:07:33Get him out of here!
01:07:34All you have to do is pick Victoria
01:07:37and you will get exactly
01:07:39what you want.
01:07:42Trust me.
01:07:44The badge I gave you.
01:07:46Where is it?
01:07:54Hold it!
01:07:59Victoria, if this family takes a hit,
01:08:01we're going to sever ties with you for good.
01:08:04Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:08:07Looks pretty pissed, too.
01:08:10Miss Gensley.
01:08:12May I have that badge, please?
01:08:22That, that's it.
01:08:23It's the real thing.
01:08:25Miss Gensley.
01:08:26Do you intend to start a new company
01:08:28and form a partnership
01:08:29with the Shadow Alliance?
01:08:31I'm a mission of all.
01:08:32No reason to get upset.
01:08:33I'll get these two out of here.
01:08:35What's the holdup?
01:08:36Move it!
01:08:40You think you can just interrupt me?
01:08:43You see this?
01:08:44I'm in hot water because you two pissed them off.
01:08:47When this summer is over,
01:08:49you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:08:50Don't worry, Tristan.
01:08:52The moment we step out of this room,
01:08:54Victoria is no longer a member of this family.
01:08:57Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:59the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:09:03Our new partner is...
01:09:09Once you land Shadow Alliance,
01:09:11taking down Victoria and Cole
01:09:12is going to be child's play.
01:09:16The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:09:22Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:09:28Miss Kingsley.
01:09:30Please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow
01:09:32and I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:09:35No way!
01:09:37How does it hurt?
01:09:40But this has to all be a bad dream.
01:09:42The $50 billion is yours.
01:09:44You can use it as you seek it.
01:09:47And if you need any resources from then on,
01:09:50give the word and I'll make it happen.
01:09:52What is the deal with Victoria?
01:09:55I mean, who is she?
01:09:57The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner
01:09:59with random people.
01:10:01That deal is basically free money.
01:10:04Cole said that Lester was just trying
01:10:06to make people happy, right?
01:10:09Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:10:12He flipped like a switch
01:10:13the second he saw that badge in her hand.
01:10:15He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:20No!
01:10:22Man, this is impossible!
01:10:24I never lose!
01:10:26Cole, am I dreaming?
01:10:30When I tell you,
01:10:32carry that badge,
01:10:33I'll pick you.
01:10:35Period.
01:10:36But $50 billion?
01:10:40All off one tiny badge?
01:10:42Miss Kingsley,
01:10:43I look forward to working with you.
01:10:46Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:48I'll come by and sign it.
01:10:49If you need anything in the meantime,
01:10:51you say the word and I'll make it happen.
01:10:53You're serious?
01:10:54All of this is real?
01:10:56Of course it's not real!
01:10:57Wake up!
01:10:59He only picked you because he assumed you were
01:11:01running the Kingsley family!
01:11:03Mr. Duvall,
01:11:05she's just a pretty face.
01:11:07She is unfit
01:11:08to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:11:10Okay?
01:11:11She has no resources!
01:11:12Mr. Duvall,
01:11:14if we're talking about power and influence,
01:11:19Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:11:23That's right, Victoria.
01:11:25As of today,
01:11:26you are no longer a member of this family.
01:11:28And without the Kingsley name,
01:11:30you have absolutely nothing to offer!
01:11:33The Shadow Alliance!
01:11:40You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:11:46That's that friend of yours.
01:11:49What's she doing here?
01:11:50I almost thought she was someone important.
01:11:53But if she's Cole's friend,
01:11:55she's probably just a gutter rack.
01:11:56Keep talking like that,
01:11:57and the Van family's going to be
01:11:58six feet under by midnight.
01:12:03Go on, Lester.
01:12:05Tell the distinguished Mr. Van who I am.
01:12:08Oh!
01:12:09Oh, Tristan!
01:12:10Oh, God!
01:12:12This is Miss Amber Cross,
01:12:14the U.S. Director of the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:18And if I remember,
01:12:19you just referred to Miss Cross
01:12:22as a gutter rack.
01:12:23I didn't know who she was.
01:12:25Oh, God!
01:12:25Mr. Duvall, please.
01:12:27Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:12:30Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:12:34What the fuck, man?
01:12:35This is my turn.
01:12:37I'm the one who wants this.
01:12:40No one comes in here and pushes me around.
01:12:44I'm in the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:45You hear me?
01:12:47If all you had done was cross the Shadow Alliance,
01:12:50I may have given you a free pass.
01:12:52But what's really unforgivable
01:12:54is that you've disrespected Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:12:57the woman with the badge.
01:13:00Cole, what is this?
01:13:02Even Amber's acting like it's the most valuable thing in the world.
01:13:06Dad, isn't it the same badge
01:13:08Cole tried to give you at the family dinner?
01:13:11No way that thing actually has any real pull.
01:13:14Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:16This badge could single-handedly make your family crisis disappear
01:13:20and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:23You Kingsley's lit the golden ticket on fire.
01:13:30Seeing this badge is seeing the owner.
01:13:34No one disrespects it.
01:13:36No one.
01:13:38Forget 50 billion.
01:13:39Make it 100.
01:13:40200, hell, make it the entire Shadow Alliance.
01:13:43If it was the badge owner's orders,
01:13:45we'd have to give it over.
01:13:47No questions asked.
01:13:48The code wasn't bluffing.
01:13:50That means that it's the actual Mona Lisa.
01:13:53Oh my God.
01:13:55I've crushed our entire family's fortune with my own hands.
01:13:58You...
01:13:59You said that ID was yours.
01:14:04Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:14:07I'm sorry.
01:14:10What?
01:14:12This badge is your ID?
01:14:15You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:17How there's a phantom tycoon lurking in the shadows.
01:14:22A mystery billionaire
01:14:24who holds the entire economy in the palm of his hand.
01:14:28One word from him
01:14:29and blue chip stocks cradle.
01:14:33One word
01:14:34and he turns a deadbeat into a star of high society.
01:14:38And the only way to identify this mystery man,
01:14:42the man who has the power to tilt the world on its axis,
01:14:47is that badge, Michael?
01:14:49And he is the owner.
01:14:52Cole Slade,
01:14:53the man behind the mask,
01:14:55the real mystery billionaire.
01:14:58Mr. Slade,
01:14:59I am sorry for speaking out of term.
01:15:04I am sorry for speaking out of term.
01:15:05Please accept my apologies.
01:15:07Lester, really?
01:15:08Please, let's cut the formalities.
01:15:11It's a fake, okay?
01:15:13It has to be a fake!
01:15:14Lester,
01:15:15I want you to bankrupt
01:15:17the Van family
01:15:19in three minutes or less.
01:15:21Yes, sir.
01:15:24I'm sorry, Mrs. Slade.
01:15:27Please.
01:15:28Please.
01:15:29Mr. Slade,
01:15:32the Van group stock has just tanked.
01:15:35They are now bankrupt.
01:15:39No!
01:15:42No!
01:15:45No!
01:15:47No!
01:15:48No!
01:15:48No!
01:15:48No!
01:15:50No!
01:15:55Since you love him so much,
01:15:58you can go keep him company.
01:16:00Let's go!
01:16:02Vicky!
01:16:04We're family!
01:16:06I'm your cousin!
01:16:07Please don't do this!
01:16:09Family,
01:16:10my days as a Kingsley
01:16:12are over.
01:16:14I can walk myself.
01:16:21Well, now that you Kingsleys
01:16:23are nothing to Victoria,
01:16:25I want you to do yourselves a favor
01:16:27and get out of our sight.
01:16:30If I were to so much
01:16:31as see your faces again,
01:16:33it would be as if the Kingsley name
01:16:35never existed.
01:16:36I'm your cousin!
01:16:40So,
01:16:40Victoria has the Shadow Alliance deal
01:16:42and her parents' research is safe.
01:16:45You've accomplished your mission, right?
01:16:47All there's left for you to do
01:16:49is leave her
01:16:50and marry me.
01:16:58Victoria, don't.
01:17:00Cole, I know you knew my brother.
01:17:04I'm safe now, okay?
01:17:06You should go.
01:17:10Thank you for everything.
01:17:17Victoria.
01:17:19Cole, stop.
01:17:21You've already done so much for me.
01:17:24I can't keep weighing you down.
01:17:30Remember when you asked if I ever served in the military?
01:17:34So, you're finally ready to tell me?
01:17:37I served with your brother, Alex.
01:17:39You knew my brother?
01:17:40We were brothers in arms.
01:17:43His last words were to keep you safe.
01:17:45He's dead?
01:17:48The mission failed.
01:17:50He didn't make it back.
01:17:53He didn't want you to know because he was afraid it was going to break you.
01:17:56Why didn't you tell me?
01:18:00Why didn't you let me see him one last time?
01:18:04Go.
01:18:05I'll take you, too.
01:18:11Alex, you're such a jerk.
01:18:14Do you know how hard it's been all on my own?
01:18:19Everyone tried to tear me apart, but now I have Cole.
01:18:25I think I'm in love with him.
01:18:31He's the most powerful man in the Federation.
01:18:35I'm not good enough, am I?
01:18:37I'm sure you'd call me stupid again.
01:18:48What the hell?
01:18:53Alex?
01:18:55Hey, man.
01:19:01Oh, now you remember our pact.
01:19:04Whoever dies first, the other has to wear a wedding dress.
01:19:08And that's for the bride.
01:19:14Well, that's your sister.
01:19:17What?
01:19:18Have you lost your mind?
01:19:21Victoria Kingsley.
01:19:23Your brother asked me to guard you for life if he didn't make it back.
01:19:28But I don't want to just be a guard, too.
01:19:32Is this your idea of a proposal in a wedding dress?
01:19:37Just keep my promise.
01:19:39I'm marrying you.
01:19:41Unless you have a problem with that.
01:19:44Idiot.
01:19:57Rest easy, my brother.
01:19:59I'll protect Victoria for the rest of my life.
