00:00:06Alex! Alex! Man down! We have a man down! We need backup now!
00:00:14Colt, 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, get back home and protect my sister, Victoria.
00:00:35The Kingsley family is a snake pit. You have to protect her.
00:00:39There's 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, content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard, keeping one
00:01:17promise to a fallen friend, to protect Victoria.
00:01:41Good morning, boss.

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.
00:26:16That was 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.
00:27:12Better than we expected.
00:27:15Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:27:20That coal guy just casually drops $10 billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:25All the bugs are dead?
00:27:27Every single one.
00:27:28And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:33Interesting.
00:27:34So, that 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.
00:27:43Still nothing.
00:27:45No bank accounts.
00:27:47No credit history.
00:27:49Probably 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. Kingsley.
00:28:15So, it was you.
00:28:18You planted the bugs.
00:28:22Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:24Protect it?
00:28:26You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:29Enough!
00:28:33Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:37Some hotshot?
00:28:38Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:41A hotshot?
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 account.
00:28:56There's only two options here.
00:28:58One, you funneled company funds.
00:29:03And two, the gifts are fixed.
00:29:10All 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.
00:29:35Just 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.
00:29:42No, 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 Kingsley's need the Vann family support now more than ever.
00:30:02Yes, Dad.
00:30:03I'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 my 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-caught boyfriend?
00:31:04Burn it.
00:31:05All of it.
00:31:08The Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:31:16No, wait.
00:31:18Just wait, it's not...
00:31:19Wait!
00:31:29Miss Pink, you can't come in!
00:31:31No, no, stop!
00:31:31What are you doing?
00:31:32This for real Mona Lisa...
00:31:38No, stop!
00:31:41No!
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.
00:32:09You will regret this.
00:32:11Once I marry Tristan, you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:32:17And...
00:32:29You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up in my place like this.
00:32:39You could get yourself killed.
00:32:47Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:50You're miles above her.
00:32:56You know why the Van 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, I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:27You see, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:33:38You're right.
00:33:40There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:33:46Which one's your favorite?
00:33:50The one where you're on your knees?
00:33:55Now we're talking.
00:34:20Since I've realized your talents, I believe I can get the King's Lead to the Summit.
00:34:26Oh, Mr. Van.
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 to earn a privilege of an invite.
00:34:48That was only a taste of what I'm capable of.
00:34:51Well, I guess I have to find out that later.
00:34:56But now I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:35:01Victoria's company?
00:35:03It's been falling apart ever since her parents died.
00:35:07I'm serious.
00:35:09If it didn't have the King's name on it, nobody in my family would even care about it.
00:35:14That's not your problem.
00:35:16Do what 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.
00:35:29That's better.
00:35:41Three days into the Summit.
00:35:44I have to lock priority access.
00:35:49Power outage?
00:36:07Power outage?
00:36:11Paul?
00:36:14Mike?
00:36:16Anybody?
00:36:18Anybody?
00:36:33Who's there?
00:36:35Who's there?
00:36:38Not just here, I guess.
00:36:41There.
00:36:42There.
00:36:45There.
00:36:46There.
00:36:47There.
00:36:48There.
00:36:48There.
00:36:48There.
00:36:49There.
00:36:50There.
00:36:50There.
00:36:51There.
00:36:52There.
00:36:52There.
00:37:11The breaker room should be...
00:37:15Tech department, now!
00:37:17Who are you?
00:37:19You really can't tell?
00:37:22It's you?
00:37:30Emily!
00:37:31It's you?
00:37:32Emily!
00:37:33Surprise!
00:37:34Emily, since the day you've joined this company...
00:37:36Vacations, bonuses, raises, you'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, Victoria, but the Van family's offering more.
00:37:50Why would you turn your back on me?
00:37:50Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:58I am your employee, not your slave.
00:38:01I've got a better deal now, and you should be happy for me!
00:38:05Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:38:08Shut up!
00:38:10You're taking me to the tech department, now!
00:38:18Move it!
00:38:30Finally, Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:34Not so fast.
00:38:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:38This 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 you wish.
00:38:48Then die!
00:38:58It's a cute toy.
00:39:00It barely even stings.
00:39:01Blood enough to make you feel every moment.
00:39:09You good?
00:39:14Let's do that.
00:39:33Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:36I just never thought Emily would back step 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 to buying off my uncle, every move led to this.
00:39:55Just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:59Say the word and I'll make them all disappear.
00:40:03No. It's fine.
00:40:05I'll figure something out.
00:40:07How?
00:40:08As long as we land new deals, you won't have any hold over us.
00:40:20Motherfucker!
00:40:24It's Cole again! He's fucking all up!
00:40:28Little fucking mutt!
00:40:31Easy, babe.
00:40:33I know how to deal with Cole. I have an idea.
00:40:37Oh, yeah?
00:40:37What?
00:40:40No matter how tough you are, if a woman's got your interest, you're done for.
00:40:49I like that. I like that life.
00:41:10Who is this?
00:41:12Come on, Cole. Don't be so mean. I'm just trying to help.
00:41:15Listen, the Vann family's been looking into Victoria.
00:41:19What's your point?
00:41:21All right, all right.
00:41:23My point is, they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:41:27And if it leaks, she's screwed.
00:41:31Who the hell are you?
00:41:32Who the hell are you?
00:41:32What do you want?
00:41:33Relax. I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:36Just meet me at the bar tonight, 8 o'clock.
00:41:39And maybe I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:48Cole, what'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, call me.
00:42:09frickin do
00:42:10Victoria.
00:42:11Look at this day.
00:42:16I've got two different things so that I can just add away.
00:42:18Fly!
00:42:20Fly!
00:42:22Fly!
00:42:22Free!
00:42:24Fly!
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, big guy.
00:43:19I've been waiting for you.
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 you a drink.
00:44:17And then...
00:44:21I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:38Call me, you asshole.
00:44:51Tell me now.
00:45:00You're drunk man.
00:45:03No.
00:45:04Better.
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.
00:45:31No, no.
00:45:32Don't move.
00:45:35Don't move.
00:45:41Don't move.
00:45:45Thanks for watching over my husband.
00:45:47He's coming home with me now.
00:45:49Oh no.
00:45:50Sweetheartedly, so he's here and he's mine.
00:45:54I'm sorry, nothing happened between us this morning.
00:45:58I know.
00:45:59You have better taste than this.
00:46:01Excuse 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, serial number zero nine two four one four.
00:46:34My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:38Who are you?
00:46:44Cole!
00:47:05Did you just kiss me?
00:47:27How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:33Cole!
00:47:34Cole!
00:47:56Morning.
00:48:00Morning.
00:48:05Last night, did we, um...
00:48:07Nope.
00:48:09Nothing happened.
00:48:17You seem almost happy about that.
00:48:21Uh...
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?
00:48:44It'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?
00:49:00Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:49:04Odds are it'll be the Vann 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? I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:49:26They burned 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?
00:49:56Come again?
00:50:00Nothing.
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.
00:50:52Give me an invite to the summer.
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, you're also walking out with the deal.
00:51:19Oh, yeah, right.
00:51:21If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me and keep my parents' research safe, that's all I
00:51:26need.
00:51:26Victoria, you have to trust me.
00:51:30Say hi.
00:51:31Ha!
00:51:32Got you, Cole.
00:51:42Oh, 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.
00:51:51I'm just friends with your dad.
00:51:53That's it.
00:51:54Who cares?
00:51:56I like you, and I'm not letting go.
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.
00:52:23Ah!
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 from my wife.
00:52:41Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:52:46I gotta see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:52:51Victoria.
00:52:52Wait.
00:52:53Look.
00:52:53She's just a friend.
00:52:55That's all.
00:52:56Don't touch me.
00:52:57Go away.
00:52:58Come.
00:53:12Trust me.
00:53:14She's just a friend.
00:53:16She came to drop off the invite.
00:53:18That's all.
00:53:20She's just a friend.
00:53:20Yeah, right.
00:53:22Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left, another on the right.
00:53:25Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:53:31You feel that?
00:53:34It only beats for you.
00:53:38Just you.
00:53:49The invite?
00:53:50The invite?
00:53:51Someone's about to begin.
00:53:54Let's head in.
00:53:56I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:25Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:54:27Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:54:32Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:54:34And to you.
00:54:35You're the reason he's helping us.
00:54:37Oh, Grandpa, it's the least I can do.
00:54:40You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:54:45Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:54:50She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:54:55Victoria.
00:54:57I told you marrying me is your best option.
00:55:00But 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.
00:55:11Just 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?
00:55:36Victoria.
00:55:38Coming in under Tristan's name is one thing.
00:55:40But to bring this?
00:55:42This 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.
00:55:48I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:55:54And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:55:57I'm sure if you got that invite yourself that you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:56:02But showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:56:08I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:56:12Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:14Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:56:16This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:56:20No 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 the 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.
00:56:51There'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.
00:57:38Apologize now.
00:57:39Could this invite actually be fake?
00:57:42Cole, let's go.
00:57:45Wait.
00:57:46Why are you guys running?
00:57:49You were so confident that invite was real.
00:57:53Well, if my invite is fake...
00:57:57Well, then this entire event is a shaman.
00:58:01We 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!
00:58:19Open it!
00:58:22Come on, bud.
00:58:24Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:58:28Now you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:58:34Damn right.
00:58:37You 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.
00:58:54And I'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 this?
00:59:23Oh, okay.
00:59:24This 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.
00:59:43You 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.
01:00:42That 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.
01:00:57If 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 is 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 of the 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 for 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.
01:02:53Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:02:57Ladies 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 Van family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:37Mr. Duvall, the Vans are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:03:44Nice job, Tristan.
01:03:47Congrats!
01:03:48If there are no other candidates, I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner...
01:03:53I'm in.
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 as 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?
01:04:39Do 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, there 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...
01:05:18Your cover's blown.
01:05:20And you're done.
01:05:22Cool.
01:05:25Oh, wait.
01:05:27Mr. 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.
01:05:41Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:05:45Stop!
01:05:46Oh!
01:05:47Oh, my gosh!
01:05:51Mr. Duvall.
01:05:52Why 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!
01:06:01Oh, my gosh.
01:06:05Mr. Slade.
01:06:07This is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:06:10You have access to all of our properties.
01:06:13No interference.
01:06:15What?
01:06:15He doesn't have the authority to get someone 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.
01:06:31Vicki, partnerships run on resources.
01:06:35Without the Kingsleys, what can you even do?
01:06:39Victoria, if you are bound and determined to 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?
01:07:09You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:07:13Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:17Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:19Exactly who is going to be happy?
01:07:23Well, you're not here to make 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 what you want.
01:07:41Trust 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.
01:08:10He's canceling.
01:08:12May I have that badge, please?
01:08:22That, that's it.
01:08:23It's the real thing.
01:08:25Ms. Gainsley,
01:08:26do you intend to start a new company
01:08:28and form a partnership with the Shadow Alliance?
01:08:31I'm not missing the ball.
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!
01:08:37Oh!
01:08:40You think you can just interrupt me?
01:08:43You see this?
01:08:44I'm in hot water because of you two piston balls!
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 Victorian coal is 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,
01:09:29please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:09:32I'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 see fit.
01:09:47And if you need any resources from then on,
01:09:50give the word,
01:09:51and I'll make it happen.
01:09:52What is the deal with Victoria?
01:09:55I mean,
01:09:55who is she?
01:09:57The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner with random people.
01:10:01That deal is basically free money.
01:10:04Cole said that Lester was just trying to make people happy, right?
01:10:09Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:10:11He flipped like a switch the second he saw that badge in her hand.
01:10:15He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:20No!
01:10:21Man, this is impossible!
01:10:24I never lose!
01:10:26Cole,
01:10:27am I dreaming?
01:10:30What'd I tell you?
01:10:32If I carry 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.
01:10:48How come I 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
01:11:00running the Kingsley family!
01:11:03Miss Duvall,
01:11:04she'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.
01:11:25That'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!
01:11:39You 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 Kohl's friend,
01:11:55she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:11:56Keep talking like that,
01:11:57and the Van family's gonna be six feet under by midnight.
01:12:03Go on, Lester.
01:12:04Tell 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.
01:12:17And if I remember,
01:12:19you just referred to Miss Cross
01:12:22as a gutter rat.
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.
01:12:29Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:12:33What the fuck, man?
01:12:35This is my turf!
01:12:37I'm the one who wants this!
01:12:40No one comes in here and pushes me around!
01:12:43I'm 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 disrespected Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:12:57the woman with the badge.
01:13:00Cole, what is this?
01:13:02Even Amber's acting like
01:13:04it'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
01:13:12actually has any real pull.
01:13:14Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:16This badge could single-handedly
01:13:18make your family crisis disappear
01:13:20and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:23You Kingsleys lit the golden ticket on fire.
01:13:30Seeing this badge
01:13:32is seeing the owner.
01:13:34No one disrespects it.
01:13:36No one.
01:13:37Forget 50 billion.
01:13:39Make it 100.
01:13:40200.
01:13:41Hell, 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.
01:13:48Cole wasn't bluffing.
01:13:50That means that
01:13:50it's the actual
01:13:51Mona Lisa.
01:13:53Oh my God.
01:13:55I've crushed our entire family's fortune
01:13:57with my own hands.
01:13:59You...
01:13:59You said that ID
01:14:01was yours.
01:14:04Who the hell are you, Mr. Slade?
01:14:07I'm sorry.
01:14:10What?
01:14:12This badge
01:14:14is your ID?
01:14:15You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:17How there's a
01:14:18phantom tycoon
01:14:20lurking in the shadows.
01:14:22A mystery billionaire
01:14:24who holds the entire economy
01:14:26in the palm of his hand.
01:14:28One word from him
01:14:29and blue chip
01:14:31stops cradle.
01:14:33One word
01:14:34and he turns a deadbeat
01:14:35into a star
01:14:36of high society.
01:14:38And the only way
01:14:39to identify
01:14:40this mystery man,
01:14:42the man who
01:14:43has the power
01:14:44to tilt the world
01:14:45on its axis,
01:14:47is that badge, Michael?
01:14:49And he
01:14:50is the owner.
01:14:52Cole Slade,
01:14:53the man behind the mask,
01:14:55the real
01:14:55mystery
01:14:56billionaire.
01:14:58Mr. Slade,
01:14:59I am sorry
01:15:00for speaking out of term.
01:15:04Please
01:15:05accept my apologies.
01:15:07Lester, really?
01:15:08Please,
01:15:09let'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
01:15:16to bankrupt
01:15:17the Van family.
01:15:19You have three minutes
01:15:20or less.
01:15:21Yes, sir.
01:15:24I'm sorry,
01:15:25Mr. Slade.
01:15:27Please.
01:15:28Please.
01:15:29Mr. Slade,
01:15:32the Van Group stock
01:15:33has just
01:15:34tanked.
01:15:36They are now
01:15:37bankrupt.
01:15:39No!
01:15:48Get off of me!
01:15:49Get off of me!
01:15:50Ah!
01:15:55Since you love him
01:15:57so much,
01:15:58you can go keep
01:15:59him company.
01:16:00Let's go.
01:16:03Vicky, we're family. I'm your cousin. Please don't do this.
01:16:09Family, my days as a Kingsley are over.
01:16:14I can walk myself.
01:16:21Well, now that you Kingsleys are nothing to Victoria, I want you to do yourselves a favor and get out
01:16:29of our sight.
01:16:29If I were to so much as see your faces again, it would be as if the Kingsley name never
01:16:35existed.
01:16:39So, Victoria has the Shadow Alliance deal and her parents' research is safe.
01:16:45You've accomplished your mission, right?
01:16:47All there's left for you to do is leave her and 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?
01:17:59Why 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...
01:18:27I think I'm in love with him.
01:18:31He's the most powerful man in the Federation.
01:18:35Am I good enough, am I?
01:18:36I'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?
01:19:20Victoria 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.
01:19:41I don't see any problem with that.
01:19:44Idiot.
01:19:57Rest easy, my brother.
01:19:59I'll protect Victoria for the rest of my life.
