00:00:10Five years I fought for my country. Now, I can finally be a father again.
00:00:17Daddy, don't go.
00:00:20No.
00:00:27He's taking so long, he's giving me wrinkles.
00:00:30Well, your father is a selfish bastard.
00:00:33Maybe I should leave. Give you guys family time with Jack.
00:00:36No, don't go, Victor. You're my family, not him.
00:00:41He's just a dead bee.
00:00:42I only came because you asked me to come.
00:00:45Oh, Kar, you are the most perfect woman in the entire world.
00:00:49Just like your mother.
00:00:54Oh my gosh.
00:00:56The secretary of defense, the state senator, and the attorney general.
00:01:01Here, the war god must be inside.
00:01:04The war god is the most powerful man in the world. You have to meet him.
00:01:08Don't worry, Celine. The war god is looking for a right hand.
00:01:11I'll make him choose me. Then, I'll be the second most powerful man in the entire world.
00:01:23War god, it's an honor.
00:01:27War god, it's an honor.
00:01:30Your victories are legendary, sir.
00:01:32You stopped the invaders from the north with just a hunting knife.
00:01:36You saved my city from a drone attack and shot it down yourself.
00:01:40Those winds aren't mine to brag about. They're forged by the blood of countless brave soldiers.
00:01:45Yes, sir.
00:01:46The war's over. And now, I just want to live a quiet life with my daughter, starting with her birthday.
00:01:51But, sir, President Riker is throwing you a peace gala in your honor.
00:01:55It's where you choose your right hand and receive the billions you'll need to rebuild our country.
00:02:00I don't need some party in my honor.
00:02:02Sorry, sir.
00:02:03Soon the world will know the truth of your bravery.
00:02:07Tell the president to wait. We can hold the peace gala next week.
00:02:10Need to make sure my daughter's safe before the world knows who I am.
00:02:13Yes, sir.
00:02:16We should send a gift to his daughter's birthday, out of respect for the war god.
00:02:38Jack Stone.
00:02:41It's been 20 years.
00:02:42Eden Meadows.
00:02:43You know, I never thought I'd see you again.
00:02:48Jack, this is Mia, my daughter.
00:02:51Mia, Jack and I grew up together.
00:02:52He believed I could succeed in business, even when my own father didn't.
00:02:57I am a CEO because of him.
00:02:59You must be back from the war.
00:03:01Just serving my country.
00:03:02Do you know the war god?
00:03:03I'm here to meet him.
00:03:04He saved us all.
00:03:06But no one has ever seen his face.
00:03:08Yeah, he's no god.
00:03:09Just a man doing his duty.
00:03:11But, uh, I should get going.
00:03:13Daughter's outside.
00:03:15I've waited five long years to see her.
00:03:17Aww.
00:03:18She's very lucky.
00:03:20Wish I had a dad like you.
00:03:26If you ever need anything, just give me a call.
00:03:30I owe you a lot.
00:03:36If only I could tell you how I really feel.
00:03:39But my father wants me to marry the war god.
00:03:44My baby girl.
00:03:45She's so grown up.
00:03:48What's my ex-wife and daughter doing with my old military school rival?
00:03:55Kara!
00:03:56Oh my gosh.
00:03:58I can't believe how grown up you look.
00:04:00We've been waiting here for like forever.
00:04:02And why do you look like a hobo?
00:04:04I just wanted to see you as soon as possible.
00:04:07I came straight from the battlefield.
00:04:08Well, did they have you cleaning toilets, Jack?
00:04:10Because you look like shit.
00:04:11Sorry I don't look better for you, Celine.
00:04:14Can I at least get a hug from my daughter?
00:04:16No.
00:04:16This is Chanel.
00:04:18Maybe you should get cleaned up, Jack.
00:04:20I don't want a car to see you like this.
00:04:22Why are you even here, Victor?
00:04:24With my daughter?
00:04:25Well, after you left on your five-year vacation, Victor stepped in.
00:04:30He's such a great man.
00:04:31I wasn't on vacation.
00:04:34I was at war.
00:04:35And Victor is not a great man.
00:04:36Dad!
00:04:37Don't be mean to him.
00:04:39Kara is right.
00:04:41You had better show some respect to my new husband.
00:04:44Husband?
00:04:45That's right, Jack.
00:04:46You're Carter's new father.
00:04:51Celine, how could you get remarried and not tell me?
00:04:53And to him?
00:04:54Why would I?
00:04:55You were facedown in a foxhole for all I knew.
00:04:58And you were pretty easy to forget.
00:05:01Once I met a real man.
00:05:03I can't believe I stayed with her as long as I did.
00:05:06If it wasn't for Kara, I would have left years sooner.
00:05:08Kara.
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:10Can you please look at me?
00:05:11Jack, you should be happy.
00:05:13I mean, I took care of your family while you were gone.
00:05:15I moved them into a nicer mansion,
00:05:17and I sold your old ugly one for the mortgage.
00:05:21You sold my house?
00:05:22I built that with my bare hands.
00:05:24I was going to give it to Kara on her wedding day.
00:05:25Dude, I don't want that pile of old logs.
00:05:27You're just jealous that Victor is actually successful.
00:05:31He just signed a contract with Eden Meadows,
00:05:33the new CEO of the biggest tech company in the world.
00:05:36What have you done lately?
00:05:38I fought to keep our country safe.
00:05:39Oh, that's your excuse for everything.
00:05:41Wah!
00:05:42I was at war!
00:05:44Meanwhile, Victor is the real hero.
00:05:47And soon he's going to be the right hand of the war god.
00:05:50And then he'll be unstoppable.
00:05:53What's so funny?
00:05:54You want to be the right hand of the war god?
00:05:56Do you even know who he is?
00:05:58Well, I think the war god has done more for us in the last five years
00:06:01than we could in five lifetimes.
00:06:03So you know nothing then?
00:06:05All right, Jack.
00:06:06Enlighten.
00:06:07Who is he?
00:06:09I can't reveal my identity until I'm sure it's safe for Kara.
00:06:12Who the war god is isn't important.
00:06:15Oh, like they would tell you.
00:06:16You're a pathetic, lowly grunt.
00:06:18Guys, stop it, please.
00:06:19My baby girl's finally going to stand up for her dad.
00:06:23I need you to prepare for my birthday party.
00:06:26Not waste time on him.
00:06:27I'd love to help out in any way I can.
00:06:29I just want to spend time with you.
00:06:30Oh, there's a sale at my birthday party!
00:06:32Oh, we have to go.
00:06:35My treat.
00:06:38It's cool.
00:06:40Victor loves taking me shopping.
00:06:42He really cares.
00:06:46Oh, and about my party.
00:06:48Maybe it's better you stayed home.
00:06:50It's kind of a classy event.
00:06:52Kara, listen to me.
00:06:53I know me being gone has been hard on you.
00:06:55But for the last five years, you're all I thought about.
00:06:57Here, look.
00:07:19Kara, my daughter.
00:07:21You think I left you.
00:07:22Maybe that's why you hate me.
00:07:23But I'm not giving up that easy.
00:07:26Kara, my daughter.
00:07:30Oh, God.
00:07:32This family is horrible.
00:07:34I wish you could marry Jack instead of the war god.
00:07:39He didn't even show up.
00:07:41Don't worry.
00:07:42I won't marry someone just because your grandpa wants me to.
00:07:45I won't let my head get in the way of my heart again.
00:07:50We need to help, Jack.
00:07:51That man he was with is Victor Klein.
00:07:54He backed us for business.
00:07:56I say we teach him a lesson.
00:08:02Can you believe this party, Kara?
00:08:04You better thank Victor.
00:08:06It's gonna lend me a million more subscribers.
00:08:08Aw.
00:08:11Wait, let's take a selfie.
00:08:18You can thank the Meadows family.
00:08:19They're the one who lent this venue.
00:08:21They must see the value I bring them.
00:08:22Oh, honey.
00:08:23I'm so proud of you.
00:08:25You're in the big leagues now.
00:08:26Meadows Tech did help win the war.
00:08:28I guess being in their good favor puts me that much closer to being the war god's right hand.
00:08:33Everything is just perfect.
00:08:59Happy birthday, sweetheart.
00:09:00Isn't that her dad be dad?
00:09:02Why is he dressed like a war hero?
00:09:04Imagine some G.I. Joe wannabe crashing your party.
00:09:07Ugh, I'd die.
00:09:09Dad, I told you to stay home.
00:09:11And this party is black tie.
00:09:13Why are you wearing that costume?
00:09:14It's not a costume, baby.
00:09:16And I'm sorry, but I couldn't miss this.
00:09:17Hey.
00:09:18This party is invite only, Jack.
00:09:20Let's not ruin Kara's big day.
00:09:22You do not stop me from speaking to my daughter.
00:09:26Can't you get that?
00:09:27I don't want you here.
00:09:29If you can't respect me, then leave and don't come back.
00:09:35I'm sorry.
00:09:36I just want to celebrate my daughter turning 18.
00:09:38I don't mean to cause a scene.
00:09:43It's too late for that, Jack.
00:09:45Your costume is scaring our guests.
00:09:48Mom, wait.
00:09:49Stop.
00:09:52Birthday girl, it's time for the father-daughter dance.
00:09:55So go grab your dad.
00:10:04Daddy, don't go.
00:10:09Kara, sweetheart.
00:10:11I have to go.
00:10:12It's to protect you and everyone else.
00:10:18Celine, please protect Kara.
00:10:20You can't be drinking like this.
00:10:21Going out all night?
00:10:25I won't let my ex tell me how to raise my daughter.
00:10:28Now get out!
00:10:29You're a daughter.
00:10:30And you haven't helped once since she's been born.
00:10:32If I wasn't going to war, I would never leave her with you.
00:10:35Just go.
00:10:36Now.
00:10:37Please come back, Dad.
00:10:39I need you.
00:10:41Come here.
00:10:47I promise I'll come back, okay?
00:10:49I think about you every single day.
00:10:59Please come back, Dad.
00:11:01I need you.
00:11:03No.
00:11:04You're too late.
00:11:07Will you dance with me, Dad?
00:11:14You call him Dad?
00:11:15Victor's given me everything I could ever want, so why wouldn't I?
00:11:20Because he didn't raise you.
00:11:21He never held you when you were sick or wiped your tears if you were hurting.
00:11:24I'm not a kid anymore, okay?
00:11:27Stop talking to me like I'm some baby.
00:11:30Come on, Jack.
00:11:32Let's not be upset.
00:11:35I wanted everything you had.
00:11:38Now I have everything.
00:11:40Including your little girl.
00:11:42You lose, Jack.
00:11:44You have nothing.
00:11:46You're a criminal who built his company out of corruption and extortion.
00:11:50Jack.
00:11:51The stoop so low as to say that slander.
00:11:55It's awful.
00:11:56I know you're jealous of Victor, but it's really pathetic of you to make up lies about him.
00:12:03Kara.
00:12:05It's true.
00:12:06Victor's a fraud.
00:12:07And I can't have you call on someone like him, Dad.
00:12:11Please.
00:12:12Come with me.
00:12:19No.
00:12:21I'm 18 now.
00:12:23So that means I don't have to listen to you ever again.
00:12:25Victor is a millionaire CEO who provided for us when you were gone being a waste of a life.
00:12:34I sent you every paycheck.
00:12:36Yeah, and I used it to pay for my debts.
00:12:38I'm surprised they played a low gruff like you so well.
00:12:42Kara, don't listen to them.
00:12:43Don't let them turn you against me.
00:12:45It's me.
00:12:47Your dad.
00:12:51Don't even look at her.
00:12:52You were pathetic before the war.
00:12:55And now you're even more pathetic.
00:13:13You have no idea how hard I thought to get home to you.
00:13:16Along the way, I achieved a lot.
00:13:20So whatever he can give you, I can give you 1,000 times more.
00:13:24You?
00:13:26Victor is a big shot.
00:13:28You're just a defective grunt living off of food stamps.
00:13:32Don't be a fool. Victor's evil.
00:13:34He'll ruin you.
00:13:36And our daughter.
00:13:39My life's been great since Victor married Mom.
00:13:42I live in a beautiful mansion.
00:13:45I have designer bags, luxury cars.
00:13:49You never could have given me that.
00:13:55So this is all about money.
00:13:57Status?
00:13:59Fine.
00:14:01Then at least accept my gift.
00:14:04An old medal ponder?
00:14:07I thought only the work I was given upon.
00:14:09Could this guy be more than just target practice?
00:14:14That medal is my most prized possession.
00:14:17And I want you to have it.
00:14:20Happy birthday.
00:14:22Let me see.
00:14:24It's clearly fake.
00:14:26Did you buy a cheap coffee online?
00:14:28That's an insult to the war god.
00:14:30You've really done it now, Jack.
00:14:32No. It's real.
00:14:35And it's from the heart.
00:14:37Sure it's real.
00:14:38A real piece of trash.
00:14:40Just like you, soldier.
00:14:53That medal represents the good men who died so you could stand here.
00:14:58Are you okay? Did he hurt you?
00:15:00I'm fine.
00:15:02This animal needs to be put to sleep.
00:15:04Come on, tough man.
00:15:06You want to show me how strong you really are?
00:15:14You know how I could snap your body in half 50 different ways?
00:15:17But I'm not going to do that.
00:15:19That's not who I am.
00:15:21Big words coming from a man who pretends to be a war hero.
00:15:26Get out of here.
00:15:27Don't, Victor.
00:15:30I want you to know something.
00:15:33Is she finally remembering what I mean to her?
00:15:46I'm not impressed by some cheap piece of plastic.
00:15:49Victor got me Jimmy Choo's.
00:15:52Do you hear that, Jack?
00:15:54Everyone here knows that you and your medal are just worthless pieces of junk.
00:16:05You think you know me?
00:16:07Don't you have any idea who I really am?
00:16:12You, we're right, isn't it?
00:16:13Attention, special gifts have arrived for the birthday girl
00:16:15courtesy of the war got a meaning.
00:16:21That is how I would say to you, Jack.
00:16:21Mom, look at this necklace.
00:16:23These jewels, these are worth at least $100,000.
00:16:27And the Stradivarius Violin.
00:16:30These are extremely rare and extremely expensive!
00:16:32him. That's an original Monet. This is real. This is 50 million dollars. Why would the
00:16:42war god's friend send me all his gifts? Isn't it obvious, girl? I think it's obvious that
00:16:49the war god saw my work and decided to give the finest gift to my daughter. That's it.
00:16:56Only you could win the attention of someone as influential as the war god. I'm eschewing
00:17:01to be his right hand. Think, Jack. You got Kara a trinket out of a cereal box. This
00:17:08just proves that Victor is a better father than you could ever be. Come on, dear. Let's
00:17:15not be too rude. In fact, I have a gift for you. Think you could buy me? Not you. Something
00:17:23you have. It's a million dollars. All you have to do is send away the parental rights
00:17:33as a Kara to me. And leave our lives forever.
00:17:56I don't want your dirty money. What an ungrateful death be. It's too dumb to realize a good
00:18:02deal. First you pose as a war hero, and now you deny our generosity? You really are nothing
00:18:09more than a stupid grunt. I can't believe you'd do this to me. You're just an embarrassment.
00:18:16Just go. Now. Okay? Nobody wants you here. Kara, I'll leave, but just know this. All I've
00:18:24thought about since I've been home. Spending time with you. I'm your dad. Nothing can
00:18:30change that. No, you're not, Jack. You're just a failure. And a fucking loser. You're not
00:18:44my family. Hey, how more clear can she be? Get out, liar. What a sorry excuse for a man. Leave,
00:18:54traitor, before we call the cops.
00:19:11If you won't accept Jack as your family, my daughter and I will.
00:19:18You want this deadbeat as your family?
00:19:24Jack and I grew up together. He may be a simple man, but he's a great one. Always husband.
00:19:33Who are these red women? It's the older one, Jack's mistress. I bet there's some low-class
00:19:39call girls Jack found on the street. Call girls? Do you even know who you're speaking to? Yeah, just
00:19:47some cheap trash trying to ruin my daughter's celebration. Yeah, how dare you barge in here? I'm Victor Klein.
00:19:55You've just made a very powerful enemy.
00:19:57I know exactly who you are, Victor. I am Eden Meadows, CEO of Meadows Tech. And your new boss.
00:20:08No, there's no way you're the CEO. Mr. Meadows appointed his daughter. He's just some call
00:20:14girl. How dare you impersonate this Meadows, slut.
00:20:21Celine, back up. This is a line you do not want to cross.
00:20:27We're not fooled by her act, Jack.
00:20:30Yeah, just look at that hideous thrift store outfit she's wearing.
00:20:35Jack, I am so sorry. You came back from war and this is how your family treats you.
00:20:41You deserve so much better. So that's it. You're paying these women to pretend to be your new family.
00:20:49We're better than the family he thought he had. Shut up, you little bitch.
00:20:59That's enough. Don't lay a hand on them. Protecting them, huh? If only you had that courtesy for your real
00:21:08family.
00:21:10What? Is this basic bitch supposed to be the knock-off version of me?
00:21:15The only basic bitch here is you.
00:21:19Save your breath, Carl. These degenerates aren't worth it.
00:21:23Victor, I am warning you. Keep it up and kiss that contract goodbye.
00:21:31You don't scare me. You were just brought here by Jack to ruin Carl's birthday party.
00:21:36Jack would never do that. He's the kindest man I've ever known.
00:21:42And I bet she's met a lot of men.
00:21:50How dare you hit my mom, you stink!
00:21:56Fine. Then I'll hit you instead.
00:22:00No. What happened to the kind girl I remember?
00:22:05What have you become?
00:22:13Mom, did I really go too far?
00:22:16No!
00:22:17You did exactly as you were supposed to do.
00:22:19Listen, you and your two grifters need to apologize to my family right now.
00:22:24I'm gonna call security and have them drag you out of here on a stretcher.
00:22:30We're not apologizing to anyone.
00:22:32But I hope the War God is on your side.
00:22:38So let me get this straight.
00:22:40You think that all these gifts here, they came because of you, Victor?
00:22:47And that you actually think that you could be the War God's right hand?
00:22:52You could stop to think.
00:22:55Who am I?
00:23:03Look at this arrogant fool and his minions!
00:23:07You pretending to be in the Meadows family.
00:23:10And you pretending to be the War God himself.
00:23:13Yeah, fucking right.
00:23:15What if I don't have to pretend?
00:23:18And I'd give you three seconds to leave this place.
00:23:22One.
00:23:25Two.
00:23:26Sir, the chairman of Meadows Tech is in bed.
00:23:29Maxwell Meadows is here.
00:23:31Mr. Meadows is here?
00:23:33Our party?
00:23:34Oh, Victor, you've made it!
00:23:37Hey, Grandpa's here.
00:23:39I texted him some lunatics for vandalizing our property.
00:23:46You and your impostors are done now!
00:23:48Just wait until Mr. Meadows gets here.
00:23:50He's going to destroy you.
00:23:52I can't wait.
00:24:03Who the hell turned my venue into a street roll?
00:24:08I am so sorry for the misunderstanding, Mr. Meadows.
00:24:11I allowed you to have a birthday party, not a cage match.
00:24:15It's not our fault.
00:24:17My loser ex-husband crashed our party.
00:24:21He's a monster.
00:24:22Sir, we've never formally met.
00:24:25But all I've done here today is celebrate my daughter's birthday.
00:24:28He paid two low-life prostitutes to pretend to be your family,
00:24:33and one of them viciously attacked me.
00:24:35And he tried to pass some cheap plastic as the War God Medal of Honor.
00:24:39This man is a traitor to our country.
00:24:42You have some kind of balls.
00:24:44Trying to slander the Meadows' name and the War God's name?
00:24:49Sir, I assure you, I'm just here for my daughter.
00:24:53I didn't slander anyone.
00:24:54Keep talking, because those are going to be the last words you ever say.
00:24:58Now tell me, where are the impostors who are pretending to be my family?
00:25:03Those cheap hookers are hiding somewhere here.
00:25:11Mom, should we say something?
00:25:13Not yet, honey.
00:25:15Let's let Victor dig his own grave.
00:25:19It was awful, Mr. Meadows.
00:25:22And I am so sorry that a man of your caliber even has to be in the same room as
00:25:26them.
00:25:27As a Meadows tech business representative, I hope this doesn't reflect poorly on me.
00:25:31I promise to not let your good name be slandered here today.
00:25:35I didn't even want my so-called dad to be here in the first place.
00:25:39He just showed up in some weird costume and brought me some shitty gift.
00:25:44Cora, come on.
00:25:47That medal was priceless.
00:25:49Shut up, Jack. You probably spent what little money you had left on those bottom feeders.
00:25:53Those are strong, honorable women.
00:25:57They're not going to like you talking like that.
00:25:58Oh, so now you are threatening the mother of your child?
00:26:03Not a threat.
00:26:05Just a friendly warning.
00:26:07Well, if those women are so tough, then why are they hiding?
00:26:10Face it, Jack.
00:26:12They are terrified of Mr. Meadows.
00:26:16You're so strong, sir.
00:26:19Are you really that stupid, Jack?
00:26:20You almost know you're not going to leave here in one piece.
00:26:24Enough of this!
00:26:25It's time for you and the impostors to pay!
00:26:30No need to dirty your hands, Mr. Meadows.
00:26:32I would be happy to take them out by their feet.
00:26:35Victor, you touch them, your career is over.
00:26:37And I wouldn't want my daughter punished for your mistake.
00:26:40Oh. Is that supposed to scare me?
00:26:42All I know is the women that you've called a whole bunch of ugly names are more powerful than you
00:26:47can ever imagine.
00:26:48More powerful than Mr. Meadows?
00:26:51Yeah. They just might be-
00:26:53You would protect those strangers over your own flesh and blood?
00:26:58See, Kara, he never loved you.
00:27:01I thought I was the most special girl in your world.
00:27:04Mom's right. You never really did care, did you?
00:27:08Kara, baby. I care more than you can ever know.
00:27:11Guards, come and take care of this scum, please.
00:27:15See, Kara, once you're a deadbeat like Jack, you'll end up paying the price.
00:27:20Selene, I'd be a little bit more worried about yourself.
00:27:24Did you get brain damage in the war?
00:27:26Have you seen the position that you and your tramps are in?
00:27:29Their names are Eden and Mia.
00:27:32How dare you use my family's names?
00:27:35Maybe it's time we show you what we do to people who treat our family like that.
00:27:39I've been six months in the Red Iron Prison of Mariposa.
00:27:42Do your worst. I can handle it.
00:27:45What the hell are you talking about?
00:27:47The Red Iron Prison? That's a war prison.
00:27:50Very few people know about that.
00:27:52How could he do that?
00:27:54Is he...?
00:27:55No, don't let him trick you. That was leaked days ago. My elderly mother knows about that.
00:28:01Of course.
00:28:02This man is a cheat and a traitor.
00:28:05That's why I had to save his family while he was away doing nothing at war.
00:28:09Enough about the stupid war. Those bitches ruined my party.
00:28:13They need to be dragged out and taught a lesson.
00:28:16Mr. Meadows, my daughter is traumatized.
00:28:19Get your little minions out of here now, or say goodbye to your kneecaps.
00:28:24Don't worry. We're right here.
00:28:27Wait. That voice...
00:28:37Well, these walking STDs have finally shown themselves.
00:28:40These are the impostors who stole the Meadows name.
00:28:43You two should be on your knees begging us for mercy. Not that you deserve any.
00:28:47Celine, if you want to see Kara's 19th birthday, I'd stop talking.
00:28:51Like I have anything to worry about.
00:28:53Do you see Mr. Meadows? He's so angry that he's shaking.
00:28:58You've done it, pal.
00:29:00And whatever he's about to do to you all, I hope that he makes it hurt.
00:29:03So, are you ready to beg?
00:29:06I don't know about you, but I don't really feel like begging.
00:29:10Then let me help you.
00:29:12If I were you, I wouldn't do that.
00:29:15Right, father?
00:29:22I can't believe this bitch.
00:29:24Trying to use her tricks to cuddle up to Mr. Meadows.
00:29:26How low can you go?
00:29:27A woman like you has no morals.
00:29:30What would you know about morals?
00:29:32Mr. Meadows, would you like me to take them out onto the street where they belong?
00:29:35You know what you've done?
00:29:37Tried to warn you two.
00:29:39Us.
00:29:40Do you see the trouble that you're in?
00:29:42I think it's time to take out the trash.
00:29:45I couldn't agree more.
00:29:47Would you like me to handle this, Mr. Meadows?
00:29:48I definitely would.
00:29:53Starting with you!
00:30:01M-Mr. Meadows, I-I don't-
00:30:04What's happening?
00:30:05You!
00:30:06Anselet!
00:30:08Why are you attacking me?
00:30:10They're the ones who offended you!
00:30:12Wrong again, you fool!
00:30:14This is my daughter, Eden Meadows, and my granddaughter, Mia Meadows!
00:30:20How? How can that be?
00:30:22They are the most precious people in the world to me.
00:30:25We are so sorry, sir.
00:30:27We would never say anything to disrespect a member of your family.
00:30:31Oh, but you had plenty to say.
00:30:33Trash, prostitutes, call girls, shit, I-ho?
00:30:50Apologize to my family now!
00:30:52Or else say goodbye to everything that you hold dear.
00:30:58How did you not know that she's actually Mr. Meadows' daughter?
00:31:01Well, I've never met her before!
00:31:03Shit, I hope this doesn't ruin my chances of becoming the War God's right hand.
00:31:08Well, you have something to say?
00:31:12Let's not be too hasty.
00:31:13I mean, how about a reset? We could have a fresh start.
00:31:15I was thinking something more along the lines of,
00:31:18you begging my daughter for mercy that you don't deserve.
00:31:21I'm sorry, Miss Sally.
00:31:23Usually when people back for apology, they're on their knees.
00:31:28Are you out of your mind?
00:31:29Shut up, Selene.
00:31:37We are so sorry for everything we said about your family.
00:31:40We were wrong, but I still think we can make money together.
00:31:44This doesn't have to be the end.
00:31:47You're right. It doesn't have to be the end.
00:31:50But it is.
00:31:51Victor Klein, Meadows Tech is officially cancelling all business with you.
00:31:55Effective immediately.
00:31:57No!
00:32:00You.
00:32:02That's why you're such a cocky bastard.
00:32:04Because you've had the biggest CEO in your back pocket.
00:32:07My deadbeat husband is bleaching off of your daughter.
00:32:11This is what he does. He is a parasite.
00:32:13Yes. We were only trying to help Eden see the truth.
00:32:17He's the arrogant phony is trying to take advantage of this poor woman.
00:32:23Eden doesn't have anything I want.
00:32:25My confidence comes from what I saw on the battlefield.
00:32:27Victor was the one who was insulting us.
00:32:29To your face. Jack was defending us.
00:32:31You're right Eden.
00:32:34I can't believe Meadows Tech almost went into business with this worm.
00:32:38Pathetic.
00:32:39Let's focus on the president's peace gala.
00:32:42It's in two days and the war god is going to pick his right hand at this event.
00:32:48Father, I tried to move to the war god but he wasn't there.
00:32:52And I don't think it's a smart plan.
00:32:54Eden, honey, to be the right hand you're going to have to marry the war god.
00:32:58My reports are telling me that he is single and it's a perfect merger.
00:33:04So you want to marry off your daughter to the war god?
00:33:07Yeah. I'd give my most valuable possession to do business with that military genius.
00:33:13And Eden, you are that most valuable possession.
00:33:16Father, I'm sorry but...
00:33:18No.
00:33:21You give me one good reason why you would dare to say no to your father.
00:33:28I can't marry the war god because...
00:33:32Because...
00:33:32I'm in love with Jack and...
00:33:35I want to marry him!
00:33:42The most powerful woman in the world wants to marry him.
00:33:45Is this some kind of bad joke?
00:33:48What the hell, Dad? Is she telling the truth?
00:33:50Um, I...
00:33:52Do you really expect us to believe that you love this loser?
00:33:55What's so hard to believe?
00:33:57Jack is an honest and honorable man who puts everyone before himself.
00:34:01He'd be a great husband.
00:34:03And a great father.
00:34:09Now do you believe me, sir?
00:34:11Jack is scamming your daughter.
00:34:13He's a gold digging liar. Nothing more.
00:34:16Eden, think about the company. Think about the Meadows legacy.
00:34:19I am thinking about our legacy, father.
00:34:22And... I want Jack there to shape it.
00:34:25Oh, please!
00:34:26Enough of this game!
00:34:29It's...
00:34:30Not a game.
00:34:33Eden Meadows?
00:34:41Will you marry me?
00:34:47Jack, you...
00:34:48You don't have to...
00:34:49I know I don't have to.
00:34:50I want to.
00:34:51You were my past, Eden.
00:34:53But I want you to be my future.
00:34:55I knew it!
00:34:57Do you see what I'm saying, sir?
00:34:58He wants the Meadows money.
00:34:59And he wants to destroy me.
00:35:01Come on, Eden.
00:35:02He doesn't even have a 401k.
00:35:05Whatever I do have, I'd happily share it with you.
00:35:08God, Jack!
00:35:09Do you have no shame?
00:35:11Sir, I am so sorry your daughter has fallen for his lies.
00:35:15Eden, come to your senses!
00:35:17Entering into a contractual marriage with the War God is unlimited power and unlimited money.
00:35:23Don't you want that?
00:35:24I want to make my own choices, father.
00:35:29You realize what you're getting into?
00:35:31I know that whatever it is, we can handle it.
00:35:35Together.
00:35:36All three of us.
00:35:38And yes, Jack, I will marry you.
00:35:48Eden is not my fiancee.
00:35:49Anyone who has a problem with that, they can answer to me.
00:35:54I always have to clean up your messes, Eden.
00:35:56But if you do this, you're gonna have to do it on your own.
00:35:59And I have to disown you.
00:36:01You really disown your daughter and granddaughter because of this?
00:36:04Father, just look at her face.
00:36:08Jack is a lowly grunt, a traitor to this country.
00:36:11He'll bring nothing but shame to the Meadows family.
00:36:14You're right.
00:36:15This is about the business.
00:36:17Sir, if I may, family should mean everything to you.
00:36:20No matter what the cost.
00:36:21Says the man who abandoned his family.
00:36:23Don't fall for his lies, Mr. Meadows.
00:36:27You have one last chance, Eden.
00:36:29Drop this charade or you're out of the family and out of the business.
00:36:33My decision is final.
00:36:35I love Jack.
00:36:36And he is my future now.
00:36:39Give me no other choice.
00:36:41You're disowned from the family!
00:36:45Victor, will you swear your allegiance to me?
00:36:47Anything you say, sir.
00:36:48Then I'll do everything in my power to make sure you're the right hand of the War God.
00:36:52Under my guidance.
00:36:53You won't be sorry, Mr. Meadows.
00:36:56And you guys, you got ten seconds to evacuate my building.
00:36:59Or else!
00:37:00You heard him.
00:37:01You ruined my party, so now get out!
00:37:03Nobody wants you here, you ruined my life!
00:37:05Just take your new family and get the hell out of here!
00:37:12Let's go.
00:37:23I'll do that.
00:37:27I'm sorry!
00:37:27Let's go.
00:37:29I'll do it.
00:37:30I'm sorry, my friend.
00:37:30You're fine.
00:37:33You're fine.
00:37:33than I remember. Well, it's been a long day. Oh, yeah. Wait, what? No, you can't leave yet.
00:37:44You just proposed to my mom. Oh, Mia, sweetheart. That was just to get your granddad off her
00:37:51back. It wasn't real. What if I told you it wasn't just about the war god? What do you
00:38:00mean? I hope I run into you again someday because I wanted to introduce you to
00:38:09Mia. Jack, Mia is your daughter. I have another daughter? It's true. Mia is your
00:38:28daughter. I've wanted to meet my dad my whole life. It's you. I'm sorry. How did this? After school
00:38:38ended, before I broke up with you. You broke my heart that day. If you just would have told me,
00:38:43I would have dropped everything to help you to help raise our daughter. My father made me swear
00:38:48I would never tell you. He said he'd destroy your life. Eden, look. I know I don't have a lot
00:38:55to offer
00:38:55you. But I do love you. And I'd do anything for you. Isn't that enough? Jack, with school
00:39:01being over, I need to start on my career. Just like you wanted me to. You need to go. Find
00:39:07a girl
00:39:07girl that truly loves you. I can't believe my daughter let some poor loser knock her up. You ever tell
00:39:27him the truth,
00:39:28I will destroy him. Got it?
00:39:35I'm sorry. To both of you. This is insane. My father fought in the war and helped save us, but
00:39:45now he's here?
00:39:48Okay, I'm sorry. I need a second. Mia, wait. Jack, give her a moment, Jack. This is a lot for
00:39:56her.
00:39:56It's a lot for me too. A lot more than a fake engagement. I know. But I would like it
00:40:03to be real.
00:40:04If it's what you want as well. If you can forgive me. Oh, Eden, of course I forgive you.
00:40:11Do you really think we can pick up where we left off 20 years ago? I'm willing to try if
00:40:16you are.
00:40:17You know, I told you once that I would do anything for you. Well, that same thing is true today.
00:40:22For you.
00:40:23And for Mia. We're a team. Okay? Husband and wife.
00:40:34Now what's next?
00:40:36I want to be the right hand of the war god. But I want it fairly. Not because of the
00:40:41contract marriage.
00:40:42And for what we know, he can be a monster. Oh, trust me. He isn't. I like to think that
00:40:48the war god's a good man.
00:40:50How can you be so sure?
00:40:57I like to think that anybody who fought on our side can be a monster.
00:41:01Do you think he'd still choose me as his right hand? I mean, my father publicly disowned me.
00:41:07I don't think that the war god cares about titles and statuses as much as people think.
00:41:12How can you be so sure? I... he can be...
00:41:15Hey, hey. If you want to know more about him, come with me tomorrow to the War Museum.
00:41:19Let's pick up an item for a friend for the Peace Gala. Bring me in. It could be a family
00:41:24event.
00:41:33This helmet was thrown on a live grenade to save the lives of at least 10 men. And these?
00:41:44These tags belong to the good men who gave their lives to save others.
00:41:48Wow. You've been through so much. You really are a hero. And...
00:41:54What's that?
00:41:57Well...
00:42:01This is why we're here. This is the gun that, uh, war god used to end the war.
00:42:06Apparently it didn't leave his side for five years. In fact, the grip was molded to his
00:42:10fingerprint so only he could use it. No one else.
00:42:16What do you think you're doing?
00:42:19Touch that gun, and I'll make sure the president hangs you for treason, you filthy animal.
00:42:25Victor, you have no right to this gun, so step aside. Now.
00:42:28You know, I'm tired of doing what you say.
00:42:31You're a jack.
00:42:32You're a jack.
00:42:36Stealing's a crime, jack. Now, let a worthy man take that gun.
00:42:41Worthy? You wouldn't know what to do with that gun if your life depended on it.
00:42:46I actually think I would.
00:42:55Not even loaded properly. Amateur.
00:42:58Leave Victor alone. He is more of a hero than you will ever be.
00:43:02So you didn't tell me your little secret, did you?
00:43:04Secret?
00:43:07No, I've told my loving family everything.
00:43:10So they know that you, uh, faked an injury so you could dodge the draft?
00:43:16No, that can't be true. Victor was just too smart to be enlisted.
00:43:21They only wanted stupid grunts like you.
00:43:23That's right, dear. I was doing my job here at home, which is a lot more important than fighting.
00:43:28Jack was fighting on the front lines. What did you do?
00:43:31He made money. He became powerful. What more could you want?
00:43:35That's right, dear. And now that I have your father's support, I will become the war god's right hand.
00:43:41Still have to win him over. What do you think I'm doing here?
00:43:45At the peace gala, I'll show the war god his prized gun, and he'll see my dedication for him.
00:43:51And all he'll see when he looks at you are two people so wretched, their own families threw them out.
00:43:56So sad.
00:43:57Let me make myself clear. You're not going anywhere with that gun.
00:44:00Because it, and everything else in this museum, belongs to me.
00:44:09You think you're hot shit now that you pitched yourself to Eden Meadows?
00:44:13Did she bring you here so you could role play being the war god?
00:44:17What Jack means is he actually fought in the war, unlike your pathetic draft dodger over there.
00:44:23Oh, pathetic. That's rich coming from a woman who was left by her own family.
00:44:28Say what you want about me, Victor, but you will not insult my wife.
00:44:31Your wife? That's cute.
00:44:35I give you two weeks before you find out what a loser your new husband is.
00:44:40Don't forget a loser dad, too. Hope you like getting cheap, worthless junk for your birthday.
00:44:46Well, I would rather a loving father than a pile of handbags any day, you ungrateful brat.
00:45:06Oh my baby, what happened?
00:45:08It was her. She attacked me. She tried to kill me.
00:45:14Karak.
00:45:15Hey, don't touch my daughter, Jack.
00:45:17And keep your stray dog away from us.
00:45:20Watch it, Celine. My daughter is innocent.
00:45:22I didn't do anything. I promised she attacked me.
00:45:26You lying bitch, you ruined my fate.
00:45:30Stop this. Mia wouldn't have done this to you.
00:45:32Don't touch me, Jack.
00:45:34Why are you taking her aside? She's just some nobody you found on the streets.
00:45:38Why did you become so cruel? I don't even recognize the girl staring back at me.
00:45:41Of course you don't, Jack. You were away doing a pleasure cruise while I took care of her.
00:45:46Oh my god. Oh my god. This makes scar.
00:45:52This is serious. I hate to do it.
00:45:55I'm gonna have to call this in and have Mia arrested for battery.
00:45:59Victor, stop this. You'll ruin her life.
00:46:01You're right. Let's not be too hasty.
00:46:03I can let this go. For a price.
00:46:06Stop trying to win the war god's favor.
00:46:09And you and Jack have to leave this country and never come back.
00:46:14Call whoever you'd like, Victor. I know the truth will prevail.
00:46:17Kara goes to the best schools and is in the best clubs and has us as her parents.
00:46:22Meanwhile, Mia is the daughter of a disgraced CEO and a deadbeat grunt posing as her dad.
00:46:28Jack, maybe she's right. Neither of us are in the good standing right now.
00:46:32We can't let anything happen to Mia.
00:46:34And I won't. I promise.
00:46:35I also won't let you give up on your dream because of him.
00:46:38Tick tock, Jack. This offer won't last forever.
00:46:42Okay. I'll do whatever you want. Just don't take it out on my mom and dad, please.
00:46:48Dad?
00:46:50Did you just call me dad?
00:46:52Well, you should have thought of that before you viciously attacked my daughter.
00:46:55Jack, for making me wait. I need you to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.
00:47:02That's not going to happen. I'm never going to beg to a criminal like you.
00:47:05Oh. Well, then I'll have to call General Thomas immediately.
00:47:08He'll be horrified to know what's happening to his war museum.
00:47:11Go ahead. Call him. When he gets here, you'll be the ones that are horrified.
00:47:18He's on his way. I've worked with his son the last five years.
00:47:21He probably doesn't even know who the hell you are.
00:47:23Oh, who knows? Maybe Jack used to clean his latrine.
00:47:26Jack, I know you don't want to admit defeat, but this is a five-star general.
00:47:31Are you sure Mia's going to be okay?
00:47:33Hey, do you two trust me?
00:47:37You have nothing to worry about.
00:47:40Oh, how sweet.
00:47:41Don't worry. When this little rat gets thrown into military jail,
00:47:44I'll make sure you both get an annual visit.
00:47:46Once a year is way too much. Maybe once every two years, if they behave.
00:47:53Oh, I think that's the general. This is it, Jack.
00:47:57Get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness,
00:47:59and I'll buy you a one-way ticket out of here.
00:48:02I'll take my chances.
00:48:15Out of my way!
00:48:20Who's fucking with my museum?
00:48:24Who's fucking with my museum?
00:48:28Thank you, General Thomas, for coming so quickly.
00:48:32Anything for you, Victor.
00:48:34I want to meet the asshole who thinks he can push around your daughter.
00:48:37It's that little brat over there and my loser ex-husband pretending to be her father.
00:48:42He's a military grunt, sir. A bad one.
00:48:44Rumors have spread about him being at Med Bay for the entirety of the war.
00:48:48Is that so?
00:48:49So we got a chicken-shit grunt and a psycho daughter.
00:48:53She ruined my face.
00:48:55Her mother is a monster, too. She assaulted me just a day ago.
00:48:58And with the Peace Gala tomorrow, I won't have a family of punks disrespect the war god.
00:49:04And by all means, he's all yours.
00:49:10I'm so sorry about all of this, but I didn't do it. I promise.
00:49:16I know you didn't, ma'am. You're honest and kind. Everything that I would want in a daughter.
00:49:22You spineless no-name grunt! How dare you a brat! Lay a finger on Victor Klein's daughter!
00:49:28Look at me when I talk to you, you pieces!
00:49:38What?
00:49:39It's you.
00:49:41What?
00:49:43It's you.
00:49:46It's Jack, General. Just Jack.
00:49:49Why is the General shaking like that? Why is he, you know, beating Jack to a pulp?
00:49:54Is he having a stroke?
00:49:55Sorry. Excuse my language. If I would have knew-
00:49:58It's fine, General.
00:50:00Sorry my ex-wife and her husband roped you into this mess.
00:50:04Uh, General, that's that punk family I was talking about.
00:50:08Do you two know each other?
00:50:10It doesn't matter. What matters is getting down to the truth.
00:50:14But we know the truth! This rabid dog tried to kill me!
00:50:17General, I believe Kara here is lying. I believe she's the aggressor and Mia is innocent.
00:50:22Don't listen to any of his lies.
00:50:24General, there's no need to waste more of your time. Just arrest this delinquent right now.
00:50:28General, surely there's a way to be fair to both of us.
00:50:32You're just trying to save your little mutt, General. This is a very serious matter.
00:50:37You're right, Victor. This is a very serious matter.
00:50:39So let's get the security footage and we'll see who exactly is at fault.
00:50:48Maybe we should just drop it.
00:50:50Uh, no, the General's my friend. Don't worry, he'll never punish you.
00:50:53Are you sure, Victor? Because the way that he talked to Jack...
00:50:57Are you doubting my connections?
00:51:01Here it is.
00:51:05Get used to seeing your daughter behind bars, bitch.
00:51:08I'm confident my daughter is a good person.
00:51:10Selene, can you say the same thing about yours?
00:51:13All right, let's find out the truth.
00:51:15Yes, let's...
00:51:24What? You did this?
00:51:26I'm sorry, okay?
00:51:27This is really...
00:51:28Stop talking, uh, this has to be a mistake. It's AI. It's a deepfake, clearly.
00:51:37Thank you for believing me, Dad.
00:51:40I like the sound of that.
00:51:43You were right, Jack. So I leave it to you. How should I punish this girl?
00:51:47Should I charge her under military law?
00:51:52General, I'll soon be the war god's right hand. I'll help you then, if you make this go away now.
00:51:57As I was saying, the decision is yours, Jack. You want me to lock her up at the base?
00:52:02I don't know how you are doing this, but just look at our gorgeous daughter! You can't punish her!
00:52:08Yeah, it was a mistake, Dad.
00:52:10Oh, so when you need me, then I'm dead.
00:52:13You're very convenient.
00:52:14Shut up, you will!
00:52:15I'm very disappointed in you, Kara. You attacked Mia, you lied about it. You don't seem a little bit sorry.
00:52:21But, but you're still my daughter.
00:52:23General, give her community service, volunteering here at the war museum. That should teach her some respect.
00:52:29Oh, and General, make sure that gets to the Peace Gala.
00:52:31Yes, sir. Jack.
00:52:39Jack must have something on the General, that sneaky bastard.
00:52:44Are you sure he's not the war god?
00:52:46He's not the war god. He's just a stupid fool, just like you.
00:52:50Victor, Dad, please don't be angry. I'm so sorry.
00:52:56I'm sorry. You humiliated me. And if you ruin my chances of becoming the war god's right hand,
00:53:03then you will truly be sorry.
00:53:12Sorry you have to deal with my family. You and Mia didn't deserve that.
00:53:16Your family? Jack, have you met my father? And besides dealing with each other's crazy families,
00:53:25that comes with being married, doesn't it?
00:53:28Yeah, I guess so.
00:53:29Have you ever thought, after all these years, we'd be here together again?
00:53:34No, but I hope so. You know, I went to military school to try to forget you. Couldn't do it.
00:53:41Neither could I. But look at all of your achievements, fighting for our country.
00:53:50I am so proud to call you my husband.
00:54:00There is something that is bothering me.
00:54:03What is it?
00:54:04You're keeping something from me. The Medal of Honor, General Thomas, your confidence, no matter what you're facing.
00:54:10Who are you really?
00:54:13Agent wants to win the right-hand position fairly. I can't tell her everything until tomorrow's gala.
00:54:19The truth is, the war god was my commanding officer. I was in his platoon.
00:54:24You know him?
00:54:26That's why I had his Medal of Honor. It's why General Thomas was so kind to me.
00:54:29That's amazing! With the war god on our side, Victor can't be chosen as his right hand.
00:54:35Even if he doesn't choose me, I just want him to pick someone who will do good for our people.
00:54:41That's why I care about you, Eden. You're selfless. You're kind. You're just what the world needs right now.
00:54:47I promise. I will do whatever it takes to make sure you win.
00:54:50I know I can do anything with you by myself.
00:55:04Victor, please! That horrible girl pushed Cara to the brink! It's not her fault!
00:55:09And I bet that Jack put her up to it.
00:55:11Yes! Please, Dad. I said I'm sorry.
00:55:13No, I'm not your fucking dad.
00:55:18What have I done?
00:55:20He is just angry. He is still the best father that you could ever hope for. Much better than Jack.
00:55:26And if I see Jack's fucking face tomorrow at the Peace Gala, I'm gonna expose him for the fraud that
00:55:31he is.
00:55:32Better yet, I'm gonna end him. For good.
00:55:38Can you believe? We get to meet with mysterious war god in us. And he will finally pick his right
00:55:47hand.
00:55:47Victor here is in the bag for that position. With a little bit of my help, thank you very much.
00:55:52And he's grateful about it.
00:55:53So, Mr. Maxwell, we all heard that your ungrateful daughter abandoned you. And I'm sure the war god see with
00:56:02betrayal and pick Victor.
00:56:03To think, Eden would turn on her own father for the love of a deadbeat reject.
00:56:08It's really such a shame. You know, the war god's right hand is going to be in charge of billions
00:56:13as they rebuild this country.
00:56:15So, surely, they should only be looking at the most honorable candidates.
00:56:22Victor, you're locked in for this position, but those two over there, they bring a lot of baggage for your
00:56:28profile.
00:56:29What would you say if we dumped them at the end of the gala?
00:56:34They've always been a means to the end. If I'm given the war god's right hand, they're the first to
00:56:38go.
00:56:39Excellent. Then we have a smooth path to total power.
00:56:57Well, well, well. I can't believe you actually had the nerve to show up here, Jack.
00:57:02You ready to lose one more time?
00:57:05I have nothing to worry about, Victor. You, on the other hand, have a whole list you can worry about.
00:57:11Ooh. Idle threats from someone with no more power than a gnat. All the costumes in the world won't make
00:57:17you important, Jack.
00:57:18Aiden, do you have to disgrace the war god by bringing in this gutter trash guest?
00:57:24I mean, he's wearing gold shoes. Seriously?
00:57:27He's my husband, father. And I don't care who you are, no one gets to speak to him like that.
00:57:32You see how he's brainwashed her, sir?
00:57:34You know, everyone, Eden Meadows used to be a very important CEO with an amazing father.
00:57:40But, uh, now she's giving it all up for this worthless loser trash.
00:57:46I used to respect Mrs. Meadows, but she's just a desperate, lonely woman seduced by a dirty conman.
00:57:55And to think she thinks she can be the war god's right hand, it's the height of delusion.
00:58:05Hear that, Jack? You're just a grifter with nothing else in your life.
00:58:09So why don't you do something for us and get the hell out of here?
00:58:13I fought in the war, Victor. Unlike you, I had every right to be here.
00:58:18The only fighting that you did was to be at the front of the food line.
00:58:21You are useless, and you're a pathetic excuse for a father and a husband.
00:58:26If I were you both, I'd get on my knees right now and beg for forgiveness for Mr. Meadows.
00:58:31You're the one that should beg, Victor. And if you really mean it, maybe, I'll get your job as the
00:58:36war museum's janitor.
00:58:37You stupid little bitch!
00:58:47Animal, get off of me!
00:58:49I apologize to my wife, or you lose this hand.
00:58:51All right, all right, I'm sorry.
00:58:57I'm sorry for ever giving you the time of day, you two war pigs.
00:59:02Jack does everything to protect the people he loves, and he'd never lay a hand on me like Victor did.
00:59:09Enough! This is supposed to be a peace gala, damn it!
00:59:13Eden, can't you see how low this man has caused you to fall?
00:59:16Father, I...
00:59:17Silence! I'm still talking. I want to give you one more chance.
00:59:21Leave the deadbeat, join me, and take your place along the right side of the war god.
00:59:26It's where you were born to be.
00:59:29No, father. I want to win this position on my own merits.
00:59:33Because I deserve it, not because of who my father is, or a contract marriage.
00:59:37If that's your answer, I have no choice but to give Victor every resource he needs to crush you.
00:59:43Trust me, sir. If you don't think Victor will double-cross you the first chance he gets, you're a fool.
00:59:48Excuse me?
00:59:49Jack's right. Victor is a conniving snake who lied and cheated his way to success.
00:59:54You'll bring nothing but ruin to our company.
00:59:56Our company? My company doesn't involve you.
00:59:59In case you forgot, you're no longer a Meadows.
01:00:02If that's how you treat your family, then I don't want to be a Meadows.
01:00:05I am perfectly fine being eaten stone from now on.
01:00:09Me too.
01:00:11Stoned through and through.
01:00:13Oh, quick pretending, you stupid little girl.
01:00:15You've known Jack for what? A few days.
01:00:17He is not your father, and he's never going to be.
01:00:22Actually, Selene, that's who you even met.
01:00:24But what you don't know is that before I left for military school...
01:00:28What? No!
01:00:29It can't be.
01:00:32It's true.
01:00:33Jack is more than just my new husband.
01:00:36I'm Mia's father.
01:00:44Wait a minute. You're the poor loser that knocked up my young girl.
01:00:48I should have never let you control my life.
01:00:50Jack's been always the one for me.
01:00:52And he's not going anywhere.
01:00:55Hia is his daughter too?
01:00:57Has Jack really replaced me?
01:01:00To win his father.
01:01:01With my leadership, your contacts, and Jack's military experience, we can work with the War God as a family.
01:01:08No wonder Eden is such a successful CEO.
01:01:11She has great instincts and a great heart.
01:01:17He's a crook, not me.
01:01:19They will bring shame to this company.
01:01:21Plus, the War God will be here at any minute.
01:01:23You don't want to be seen deal-making with a swine pig like him.
01:01:27You're right. We need to think about this.
01:01:29We don't want to be seen doing business with this fool, because that's commercial suicide.
01:01:34What the hell is so funny, traitor?
01:01:36I mean, he cares so much about what the War God thinks.
01:01:39But if you're looking to have all the money and the power that being the right hand of the War
01:01:43God brings,
01:01:44the person you need to impress is Mia.
01:01:51What did you say, boy?
01:01:53Jack is out of his mind, thinking he has any power at all.
01:01:58See, honey, I told you that Jack is a lunatic.
01:02:01He's living in a delusion.
01:02:03What if he isn't?
01:02:05You can all laugh at me.
01:02:07Better cure me.
01:02:07It's fine. I can take it.
01:02:09Soon enough, you'll all know the truth.
01:02:12All right, let's take a poll.
01:02:14Does anyone believe a word that's coming out of his mouth besides his brainwashed wife and his bastard child?
01:02:22Huh? Anyone?
01:02:27I do.
01:02:29Shut up, you dirty little brat.
01:02:31Honey, come back here.
01:02:33Don't mind her. She's just us.
01:02:35Shut up, Mom. I can speak for myself.
01:02:38I'm sorry, okay?
01:02:40I was selfish and cruel.
01:02:43I didn't mean it.
01:02:45That's all I've been waiting to hear.
01:02:46I love you so much, okay?
01:02:48Nothing's gonna change that.
01:02:49I want you to be a part of my life again.
01:02:52I'd love nothing more.
01:02:55But I have one condition.
01:02:57What is it?
01:02:58First, you have to disown her.
01:03:06Kara, the last five years, all I've thought about is being your dad again.
01:03:10Then dump this accident and you can.
01:03:13I'll be good, I promise.
01:03:15It's okay, Dad. You can do what you have to do.
01:03:18You don't have to say anything.
01:03:20Kara, of course I want to be your dad.
01:03:23But not if that means sacrificing one family member for another.
01:03:26But I'm your real daughter.
01:03:28Yeah, you are.
01:03:29But so is Mia.
01:03:33I am so sorry for this ridiculous outburst.
01:03:35You're right.
01:03:36These two women, bad for my name.
01:03:38How dare you reject our daughter for this mistake?
01:03:42Mia's not a mistake.
01:03:43She's a smart, beautiful girl.
01:03:46And I'm proud to be her dad.
01:03:48Oh, enough with this sentimental crap.
01:03:50Not that it matters.
01:03:52In a few moments, Victor's going to crush your little family.
01:03:56Oh, Celine.
01:03:56When are you going to realize I'm the most powerful person in this room?
01:04:10Like hell you are.
01:04:13Oh, shit.
01:04:14President Riker here.
01:04:15Jack's in trouble now.
01:04:17Oh.
01:04:24Who the hell do you think you are?
01:04:26Kneel for your president.
01:04:28I don't kneel for anyone.
01:04:30Jack, come on.
01:04:31This isn't a game.
01:04:33We have to show President Mike respect.
01:04:35Jack is finished.
01:04:36No one disrespect the president and walk away from it.
01:04:39Mr. President, sir, this is Jack Stone.
01:04:42He's an arrogant, delusional grunt who thinks he's the war god.
01:04:45And he's destroyed some of the war museum.
01:04:52Is that so?
01:04:53You think you're powerful, huh?
01:04:55More powerful than me?
01:04:58I just know what I've done for this country.
01:04:59I won't let it be run by crooks and bullies.
01:05:03This is the man I told you about, Mr. President.
01:05:06He seduced and manipulated my daughter.
01:05:08He's not worth more than trash.
01:05:10I can see that.
01:05:11To think this pig would compare himself to the war god.
01:05:16What do you know about the war god?
01:05:18You've never met him.
01:05:19Of course not.
01:05:21His identity has been kept secret from me for my protection.
01:05:24But I'm also smart enough to know a con man when I see one.
01:05:28Now kneel and beg for my forgiveness.
01:05:30Or spend the rest of your life in jail.
01:05:33Mr. President, Jack is a proud man, but an honorable soldier.
01:05:37He doesn't mean what he says.
01:05:40Jack, come on.
01:05:41Just kneel, please.
01:05:43Listen to your woman, Jack.
01:05:44At least she has enough sense to know her place.
01:05:47Just kneel, you idiot.
01:05:49And stop pretending to be someone important.
01:05:51We all know that you're a nobody.
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54Dad, please.
01:05:55Please, I just found you.
01:05:57I can't lose you again.
01:05:58For once I agree with the basic bitch.
01:06:00Just kneel.
01:06:04No.
01:06:05What are you, brave or something?
01:06:07All I know is I'm not a coward.
01:06:08Unlike you.
01:06:09What did you just say?
01:06:10No, not once did you visit the front lines to see the men that were dying on your orders.
01:06:14I was busy here.
01:06:16Doing what?
01:06:16Shaking hands?
01:06:17Making deals?
01:06:18Well, we gave our lives for this country.
01:06:20Jack, what are you doing?
01:06:22Stop.
01:06:22That's it.
01:06:24For your dangerous and treasonous words, you, Jack, just earned yourself an execution.
01:06:30Making a huge mistake, Riker.
01:06:33I don't make mistakes because I'm the fucking president.
01:06:36And you're about to be a stain on my floor.
01:06:39What a fool.
01:06:40This guy has a deathlish.
01:06:42Mr. President, please.
01:06:43Jack has served with the war god.
01:06:46And if you hurt him, he'll be furious when he gets here.
01:06:50You really are a brainwashed twit, aren't you?
01:06:52Jack knows the war god like I know Madonna.
01:06:55Jack, your arrogance has gone too far.
01:06:57He's going to kill you.
01:06:58Mr. President, please.
01:06:59He's a good man.
01:07:00I swear.
01:07:01Enough.
01:07:01The war god will be here any minute.
01:07:03And I won't have this fool ruining his peace, Bella.
01:07:07It's time for Jack Stone to die.
01:07:08And anyone who stands with him will receive the same fate.
01:07:12Tinker?
01:07:19Of course not, sir.
01:07:21Jack Stone earned his punishment.
01:07:23Do your worst, Mr. President.
01:07:24Do I still get his pension when he's gone?
01:07:30All right, then.
01:07:31Looks like you're all alone, Jack.
01:07:34No, he's not.
01:07:36Jack doesn't deserve to die.
01:07:37But if you insist on this injustice, I will face it with him.
01:07:42I lost him once.
01:07:44I won't lose him again.
01:07:46I'm standing with my dad, no matter what.
01:07:51They're both so brave.
01:07:53Eden, don't do this.
01:07:55You'd give everything up for this low life.
01:07:58You know what I mean.
01:08:00Any last words, Jack?
01:08:02You have no idea what real power is, President Riker.
01:08:05But you'll soon find out.
01:08:10Goodbye, traitor.
01:08:22Lower your weapons now.
01:08:25The War God Committee is here.
01:08:28That means War God himself cannot be far behind.
01:08:31I said, lower your weapons.
01:08:34Why would I do that?
01:08:36This traitorous moron is about to get exactly what he deserves.
01:08:39Mr. President, you can't do this.
01:08:41And who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do, General?
01:08:45This General sided with the traitor at the War Museum.
01:08:48Jack probably has something pretty big on him.
01:08:50I'll deal with him later.
01:08:53First, I need to dispose of this trash before the War God sees this mess.
01:08:58President Riker, stop.
01:09:00You have no idea what you're doing.
01:09:02This lowly grunt claims that he's more powerful than I.
01:09:06He refuses to kneel and called me a coward.
01:09:09I know exactly what I'm doing.
01:09:11You're going to be very, very sorry.
01:09:12One more word out of any of you and you'll be next.
01:09:16Now, guards.
01:09:18What are you doing, you fools?
01:09:20Tell your men to stand down.
01:09:21We don't answer to you, sir.
01:09:23We answer to the War God.
01:09:25And he's not here now, is he?
01:09:27Yes, sir.
01:09:27He very much is.
01:09:32War God, we salute you.
01:09:47Is it true?
01:09:49You really?
01:09:50My dad is the War God?
01:09:53Oh, stop it.
01:09:55Are you all on drugs?
01:09:56Jack isn't nobody.
01:09:57He's a poor fool.
01:09:59He's not the War God.
01:10:01She's right.
01:10:02He's a gold digger who brainwashed Eden Meadows into marrying him.
01:10:05He's a god alive.
01:10:07That's it.
01:10:10My committee, thank you for coming.
01:10:13It's time we end this charade and start rebuilding our country.
01:10:16This can't be.
01:10:17There's no way he's the one who saved our country from destruction.
01:10:21You've all been fooled by his lies.
01:10:23This is treason.
01:10:24A coup.
01:10:25It's no coup, Mr. President.
01:10:28As you know, it was very important that only a select few knew the identity of the War God.
01:10:33And he is Jack Stone.
01:10:36He saved my life countless times.
01:10:38He saved all your lives while you sat drinking champagne in your fancy galas.
01:10:44You all owe everything to this man.
01:10:46No.
01:10:47This can't be true.
01:10:49You said he was a fake, a fraud.
01:10:51He is.
01:10:53He's tricking all of you and I don't know how he's managing to do it, but he is.
01:10:57If he really is the War God, then there's only one way to find out.
01:11:01That gun is designed to fire only when the War God uses his fingerprints.
01:11:07If he can shoot the gun, then he is the legendary hero.
01:11:12Then so be it.
01:11:15This is all just a trick.
01:11:16Just empty words.
01:11:18Are we really going to let this drifter touch the War God's sacred golden gun?
01:11:25Jack, are you sure about this?
01:11:27You trust me?
01:11:29But my life.
01:11:30And that's all that matters.
01:11:32It's time everyone sees the truth.
01:11:37Mom, it's not possible, is it, that Jack, my dad, is the War God?
01:11:43Of course not.
01:11:44Jack is a loser.
01:11:46Always has been and always will be.
01:11:48If you are wrong about this, I'm not.
01:11:51I swear, Jack will soon be revealed as an imposter.
01:11:54And I'll be the War God's right hand.
01:11:56Under your guidance, sir.
01:11:59Oh well, old friend.
01:12:01Quit stalling it, fraud.
01:12:07This is it.
01:12:10For my country,
01:12:13I will fight.
01:12:19Identity confirmed.
01:12:20Jack Stone, War God.
01:12:22Greatest military hero.
01:12:24No.
01:12:25No!
01:12:26No!
01:12:28It's really him, War God.
01:12:30What have I done?
01:12:32Edith's husband saved our country.
01:12:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:36This can't be.
01:12:37Not him!
01:12:38It's true.
01:12:40I led the men and women of our military against our adversaries to victory.
01:12:44I am the War God.
01:12:46War God, we salute you!
01:12:49You fucking idiot!
01:12:51It was Jack all along!
01:12:52War God, please forgive me.
01:12:55I've been a fool.
01:12:56You now have billions at your disposal.
01:12:58Anything you need, I am at your service.
01:13:01It's time we start rebuilding this country.
01:13:04Starting with this...
01:13:04Did you bring the dossier?
01:13:05Yes, sir.
01:13:07This proves that not only did Victor Klein use bribery and extortion to start his business,
01:13:12he also falsified medical records so he could dodge the draft.
01:13:16No.
01:13:17No, I won't let you win.
01:13:20Not again.
01:13:26You fought your last battle.
01:13:29War God!
01:13:33You fought your last battle.
01:13:36War God!
01:13:45Guards, arrest this man for fraud, attempted murder, and treason.
01:13:49You can't do this to me.
01:13:51I'm the War God's right hand.
01:13:52Looks like he just shot the right hand.
01:13:54My wife, my daughter, you vouch for me.
01:13:57Tell them this is a mistake.
01:13:58You're not my father, Victor.
01:14:00And you're a sorry excuse for a husband.
01:14:02I'm going to have my lawyer send the divorce papers to your cell.
01:14:11Jack!
01:14:12Honey, sweetie, have I mentioned how good you are looking lately?
01:14:18And I'm so sorry to not see it.
01:14:20You are the most powerful man in the world, of course.
01:14:23So now you're kind to me.
01:14:25Now that you know I have power.
01:14:27Well, yes, I mean, look at your accomplishments.
01:14:31And if we got them together, just think about the power couple that we could be.
01:14:35You know, Celine, not once did you believe in me.
01:14:38I raised Kara on my own while you drank and you partied.
01:14:41And the minute I left for war, you married a man with dirty money.
01:14:43That is not how it went.
01:14:45You made your choice.
01:14:48And now I have a family who loves me.
01:14:53Jack, please.
01:14:54I have no job.
01:14:56I have no skills.
01:14:57How am I supposed to make money?
01:14:59I could be your maid or your mistress.
01:15:03Do you two want a third?
01:15:05Celine, you're the mother of my child.
01:15:08You're not going to be on the streets.
01:15:09But you and I, we're done forever.
01:15:14Dad, I'm so sorry.
01:15:16Will you find it in your heart to forgive me?
01:15:18Of course, Kara.
01:15:20I'm ready to be your family as soon as you're ready to accept all of my family.
01:15:25But Dad, really?
01:15:28Them?
01:15:29Yeah.
01:15:30They're just as much a part of me as you are.
01:15:32We're a package deal.
01:15:34My son-in-law, father to my granddaughter.
01:15:37For God, I am honored.
01:15:39Let's forget about the I was trying to ruin you bit.
01:15:43Let's start over.
01:15:45I want you back as my CEO.
01:15:47I can even double your salary.
01:15:49Thanks, father.
01:15:49But it's time for me to start over with a new company.
01:15:54You were right.
01:15:56I'm no longer a Meadows.
01:15:59I'm a stone.
01:16:03Eden, I can't think of a more perfect person to be my right hand.
01:16:07Jack, you mean it.
01:16:09You're not just saying it because I'm your wife.
01:16:11Eden, you're the smartest, strongest, most capable woman I've ever met.
01:16:17And I'd be honored if you were my right hand.
01:16:20Of course, yes.
01:16:22And I'd be even more honored to call you my wife.
01:16:25We're a family now, forever.
01:16:27Let's cover for forever.
01:16:28Remember?
01:16:30Oh, man.
01:16:32Why?
01:16:49Vernon Miller,
