00:00:01Alex! Alex! Man down! We have a man down! We need backup now!
00:00:09Cole, you guys are surrounded, man. Let's get out of here. Looks like you won the bet.
00:00:15Alright, we're getting out of here together.
00:00:18Take this. You are the best of the best. Promise me, get back home.
00:00:28Protect my sister, Victoria. The Kingsley family is a snake pit. You have to protect her.
00:00:35There's an honor serving with you.
00:00:42Alex!
00:00:50Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:00:53I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance, the country's largest veterans network.
00:00:59The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared, and respected across the world.
00:01:05But I chose a much simpler post. Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:01:11Keeping one promise to a fallen friend. To protect Victoria.
00:01:35Good morning, boss!

00:25:05Just like I thought.
00:25:46I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:25:50Why can't I resist him?
00:26:01Damn, wifey.
00:26:03How is Oscar worthy?
00:26:05It was an accident.
00:26:07Honey, the steak's burning.
00:26:18You did that on purpose.
00:26:20Just another day in married life.
00:26:23Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:26:26Shut up.
00:26:28Need a hand, wifey?
00:26:30Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:26:33Icedy.
00:26:34Like it.
00:26:57Looks like these two are getting along.
00:27:00Better than we expected.
00:27:02Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:27:07That coal guy just casually drops ten billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:12All the bugs are dead?
00:27:14Every single one.
00:27:15And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:20Interesting.
00:27:22Seems like our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:27:26And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:28And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:28I went through all the contacts we have.
00:27:30Still nothing.
00:27:33No bank accounts.
00:27:34No credit history.
00:27:36Not even a parking ticket.
00:27:39There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:27:43The spies.
00:27:45The dead.
00:27:50And those richer than us.
00:27:52So which one is he?
00:27:55Excuse me, miss.
00:27:55You can't enter.
00:27:56Get out of my way.
00:27:58I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:28:03So it was you.
00:28:06You planted the bugs.
00:28:09Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:12Protect it?
00:28:13You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:16Enough!
00:28:20Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:24Some hotshot?
00:28:26Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:28A hotshot?
00:28:30He's just our company's security guard.
00:28:34You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:28:38You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:28:41Explain the $10 billion.
00:28:43There's only two options here.
00:28:45One, you funneled company funds.
00:28:50And two, the gifts are fixed.
00:28:58All of them.
00:29:03There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:29:05So that only leads to an option.
00:29:08The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:29:11Knockoffs?
00:29:12Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:29:16Told you, Dad.
00:29:17She's always been a stain on this family.
00:29:21Stop making assumptions.
00:29:23Just because you don't know who coal is
00:29:24doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:29:26Shut up!
00:29:27The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some rent-a-cop.
00:29:29No, you shut up!
00:29:30Even if the gifts are fake,
00:29:32I would still never marry Tristan.
00:29:33Ever!
00:29:39Serena, from now on,
00:29:40I want you to spend more time with Tristan Vann.
00:29:44The Kingsleys need the Vann family support now more than ever.
00:29:49Yes, Dad.
00:29:50I'll give him a call.
00:29:58The Vann family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:30:01We will secure their deal in three days' time
00:30:04with the Vann family's support.
00:30:05By our side.
00:30:09Three days from now,
00:30:10the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast somewhere
00:30:12at the Maple Hotel.
00:30:14To decide on the next big partnership.
00:30:18That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:30:21The smoother it goes for you,
00:30:22the faster I get the money back, right?
00:30:27The Vanns have the power to open the door.
00:30:29We just have to follow their lead
00:30:32and take our cut.
00:30:34Tori, when everything ends,
00:30:36I want you to resign.
00:30:38It's time to rethink
00:30:40who runs the family business.
00:30:43Dearest cousin,
00:30:47what do we do with this pile of junk
00:30:49from your rent-a-cop boyfriend?
00:30:51Burn it.
00:30:52All of it.
00:30:55The Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:31:03No, wait.
00:31:05Just wait, it's not...
00:31:06Wait!
00:31:16It's Kingsley, you can't come in!
00:31:18No, no, stop!
00:31:18What are you doing?
00:31:19It's for real Mona Lisa!
00:31:20It's for real Mona Lisa!
00:31:25No!
00:31:26Stop!
00:31:27No!
00:31:42Stop!
00:31:43They were real!
00:31:45Oh, little princess living in your fairytale.
00:31:51Let this be a warning to you.
00:31:53You'll regret this.
00:31:54No, you will regret this.
00:31:58Once I marry Tristan, you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:32:16You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up in my place like this.
00:32:26Look at yourself, guilt.
00:32:33Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:37You're miles above her.
00:32:43You know why the Vann family gets an invite?
00:32:47Because we do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:32:53Anything.
00:32:55That's something you and I have in common.
00:32:59If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance,
00:33:05I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:14See, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:33:25You're right.
00:33:27There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:33:33Which one's your favorite?
00:33:37The one where you're on your knees.
00:33:42Now we're talking.
00:33:44Now we're talking.
00:34:07Since I realized your talents,
00:34:09I believe I can get the Kingsley to the summit.
00:34:12Oh, Mr. Vann.
00:34:15I knew you would come to your senses.
00:34:17A man of your talents?
00:34:20Nothing's impossible.
00:34:21You haven't heard the cost yet.
00:34:25You have a lot of work to do.
00:34:30To earn
00:34:33a privilege of an invite.
00:34:35That was only a taste
00:34:36of what I'm capable of.
00:34:38Well, I guess I have to find out that
00:34:41later.
00:34:42But
00:34:43now,
00:34:44I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:34:48Victoria's company?
00:34:50It's been falling apart
00:34:51ever since her parents died.
00:34:53I'm serious.
00:34:55If it didn't have the Kingsley name on it,
00:34:58nobody in my family
00:34:59would even care about it.
00:35:00That's not your problem.
00:35:02Do
00:35:03what I say,
00:35:05or you'll be left with nothing.
00:35:09All right.
00:35:12Good thing we still have an insider
00:35:13in her company.
00:35:17That's better.
00:35:28Three days into the summit,
00:35:30I have to lock priority access.
00:35:35Power outage?
00:35:58Paul?
00:36:01Mike?
00:36:03Anybody?
00:36:19Who's there?
00:36:24I'm just hearing this.
00:36:28There.
00:36:29There.
00:36:46I'm just hearing this.
00:36:58Breaker room
00:36:59should be...
00:37:01Tech department,
00:37:03now!
00:37:04Who are you?
00:37:06You really can't tell?
00:37:08It's you?
00:37:17Emily!
00:37:18It's you?
00:37:19It's you?
00:37:20Surprise!
00:37:21Emily, since the day
00:37:22you've joined this company,
00:37:23vacations, bonuses,
00:37:25raises,
00:37:25you've had everything.
00:37:27Why'd you turn your back on me?
00:37:28Quit whining!
00:37:31You've been good to me,
00:37:32you've been good to me,
00:37:32Victoria,
00:37:33but the Van family's offering war.
00:37:36Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:44Why?
00:37:45I am your employee,
00:37:47not your slave.
00:37:48I've got a better deal now,
00:37:50and you should be happy for me!
00:37:52Emily,
00:37:53you've let money blind you.
00:37:54Shut up!
00:37:56You're taking me to the tech department,
00:37:59now!
00:38:04Move it!
00:38:17Finally!
00:38:18Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:21Not so fast.
00:38:23What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:24This tech is split into three parts.
00:38:27You've only got one of them.
00:38:30Where's the rest?
00:38:32Tell me!
00:38:33You wish!
00:38:35Then die!
00:38:45It's a cute toy.
00:38:46It rarely even sings.
00:38:48Blood enough to make you feel every moment.
00:38:56You good?
00:39:19Yeah, I-I-I'm fine.
00:39:22I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:39:27What's Tristan after, anyway?
00:39:29That's worth going this far.
00:39:32The quantum chip tech.
00:39:34My parents' last research.
00:39:37From the sham engagement,
00:39:39to buying off my uncle,
00:39:40every move led to this.
00:39:42I just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:46Say the word,
00:39:46and I'll make Ma disappear.
00:39:49No, it's fine.
00:39:52I'll figure something out.
00:39:54How?
00:39:55As long as we land new deals,
00:39:57you won't have any hold over us.
00:40:06Motherfucker!
00:40:11It's Cole again!
00:40:12He's-he's fucking all up!
00:40:14Little fucking mutt!
00:40:17Easy, babe.
00:40:19I know how to deal with Cole.
00:40:21I have an idea.
00:40:23Oh yeah?
00:40:25What?
00:40:27No matter how tough you are,
00:40:31if a woman's got your interest,
00:40:34you're a dud for.
00:40:36I like that.
00:40:37I like that a lot.
00:40:57Who is this?
00:40:58Come on, Cole.
00:41:00Don't be so mean.
00:41:01I'm just trying to help.
00:41:02Listen.
00:41:03The Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:41:06What's your point?
00:41:08All right, all right.
00:41:10My point is,
00:41:11they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:41:14And if it leaks,
00:41:15she's screwed.
00:41:17Who the hell are you?
00:41:18What do you want?
00:41:20Relax.
00:41:20I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:23Just meet me at the bar tonight,
00:41:258 o'clock.
00:41:26And maybe,
00:41:27I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:35Cole, what's going on, man?
00:41:37I've got to head out for a bit.
00:41:38Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:41:40If anything happens,
00:41:41call me.
00:41:48I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:52If there's no point,
00:41:53And if there's no point,
00:42:01So can't take care of it?
00:42:02Or,
00:42:16say,
00:42:16do you want to have some fun?
00:42:18Um, I've been waiting for you.
00:42:25Take it easy, big guy.
00:43:11I can't wait for you.
00:43:17I can't wait for you.
00:43:18I can't wait for you.
00:43:28You're lucky I don't hit one, but if you keep pushing me, I will.
00:43:37Just join me for a drink.
00:43:41For Victoria and her company.
00:43:47I knew that name would get you back.
00:43:56Cut the crap.
00:43:57You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:44:00I'm not going to let that happen.
00:44:03Have your drink.
00:44:05And then...
00:44:08I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:25Call me, you asshole.
00:44:38Tell me now.
00:44:47You're the truck man.
00:44:50No.
00:44:51Better.
00:44:52It's my own special blend.
00:44:55It's an aphrodisiac.
00:45:00You got two options.
00:45:04One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you that name to do it.
00:45:10Or two, we skip the business.
00:45:14We have a little bit of fun.
00:45:16And she can find out the messy way.
00:45:18No, no.
00:45:19Don't move.
00:45:21Don't move.
00:45:31Thanks for watching over, my husband.
00:45:34He's coming home with me now.
00:45:35Oh, no.
00:45:36Sweetheartedly.
00:45:37So, he's here and he's mine.
00:45:41I'm sorry.
00:45:43Nothing happened between us this week.
00:45:45I know.
00:45:46You have better taste than this.
00:45:48Excuse me?
00:45:50Come on, Cole.
00:45:51Let's go home.
00:46:02It's too hot.
00:46:03I can't breathe.
00:46:14Cole Slade.
00:46:15Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:46:20My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:25Who are you?
00:46:31Cole!
00:46:32Cole!
00:46:33Cole!
00:46:51Did you just kiss me?
00:47:14How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:19Cole!
00:47:20Cole!
00:47:22Cole!
00:47:40Good morning.
00:47:43Good morning.
00:47:48Good morning.
00:47:52Last night, did we, um...
00:47:54Nope.
00:47:56Nothing happened.
00:48:03You seem almost happy about that.
00:48:08Uh...
00:48:10You were in the military?
00:48:13Um, no.
00:48:15No.
00:48:23What are you looking at?
00:48:26Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. Director.
00:48:30What?
00:48:31It's a woman.
00:48:33Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:48:37How did you know her name is Amber?
00:48:42Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:48:46Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:48:50Odds are it'll be the Van family.
00:48:52If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:48:57So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:49:01Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:49:04Doesn't your family already have one?
00:49:05Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:49:08Why?
00:49:09I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:49:12They earned it.
00:49:15I said it was a knockoff.
00:49:17I'll pay you back.
00:49:24If I get you that...
00:49:33Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:49:43Come again?
00:49:47Nothing.
00:49:54If you can really get me that invite...
00:49:59I will do...
00:50:03Anything you want.
00:50:08Just carry that badge with you.
00:50:10I'll take care of the rest.
00:50:21Go on ahead.
00:50:24You're not coming in with me?
00:50:26I'll catch up.
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:39Give me an invite to the summer.
00:50:41The best one you got.
00:50:44Now.
00:50:54Cole, they've already kicked out two execs for not having invites.
00:50:58If we can't...
00:50:59Hey, hey.
00:51:00Don't worry.
00:51:01Not only are you getting in, you're also walking out with the deal.
00:51:06Yeah, right.
00:51:07If I can just get the Shadow Alliance to protect me and keep my parents' research safe, that's all I
00:51:12need.
00:51:13Victoria, you have to trust me.
00:51:16Say hi.
00:51:17Ha!
00:51:18Ha!
00:51:19Got you, Cole.
00:51:20Got you, Cole.
00:51:29Oh, come on, Cole.
00:51:31Don't you miss me?
00:51:32I missed you so much.
00:51:34Okay.
00:51:35You have got to knock it off.
00:51:37I'm just friends with your dad.
00:51:39That's it.
00:51:40Who cares?
00:51:42I like you, and I'm not letting go.
00:51:45Come on.
00:51:46End it.
00:51:47End it.
00:51:48Victoria.
00:51:54Miss Cross.
00:51:57My wife does not like that.
00:52:01Now, the invite.
00:52:04Here.
00:52:05The Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:52:09Thanks.
00:52:10Hold up.
00:52:11You're really going to give out this invite?
00:52:13This invite is worth a fortune.
00:52:15No one else has ever gotten one.
00:52:17This is the first and the only.
00:52:21I know.
00:52:23But it's for my wife.
00:52:27Don't say that in front of my wife again.
00:52:32I've got to see what kind of woman has got Cole all hung up.
00:52:37Victoria.
00:52:38Wait.
00:52:39Look, she's just a friend.
00:52:41That's all.
00:52:42Don't touch me.
00:52:43Go away.
00:52:44Come.
00:52:45Come.
00:52:58Trust me.
00:53:00She's just a friend.
00:53:02She came to drop off the invite.
00:53:05That's all.
00:53:06Yeah, right.
00:53:08Mr. Slade's got a girl on the left, another on the right.
00:53:11Looks like you're having the time of your life.
00:53:17You feel that?
00:53:20It only beats for you.
00:53:24Just you.
00:53:35The invite?
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:37Summer's about to begin.
00:53:40Set in.
00:53:42I'll deal with you when we get home.
00:54:11Tristan's cousin is the host tonight.
00:54:13Without him, our family wouldn't have even made it to an event like this.
00:54:18Well, we do owe a lot to Tristan.
00:54:20And to you.
00:54:21You're the reason he's helping us.
00:54:23Oh, Grandpa.
00:54:24It's the least I can do.
00:54:26You know, Victoria isn't your only granddaughter.
00:54:31Well, after the summit, I'm going to take Victoria's title and positions away.
00:54:36She is not fit to be the CEO.
00:54:41Victoria.
00:54:43I told you marrying me is your best option.
00:54:46But you didn't listen.
00:54:48Once Serena takes over as CEO, your parents' research will still end up in my hands.
00:54:53And when that day comes, you'll be mine.
00:54:57Just something to use however I want.
00:55:03Is it that Victorian coal?
00:55:09What the hell are they doing here?
00:55:18Mr. Kingsley.
00:55:21Grandpa?
00:55:23Victoria.
00:55:24Coming in under Tristan's name is one thing.
00:55:26But to bring this?
00:55:28This guy who tried to pass off a fake?
00:55:31I didn't think you'd sink this low.
00:55:33Grandpa, I don't understand.
00:55:35I'm still the CEO of our family company, which means I have every right to be here.
00:55:40And it's my call to bring whoever I want.
00:55:43Sure, if you got that invite yourself, but you're only here because of Serena and Tristan.
00:55:49Showing up with this security guard husband of yours is not helping at all.
00:55:55I'm here because I got the invite myself.
00:55:58Serena and Tristan had nothing to do with it.
00:56:00Oh, come on, Vicky.
00:56:02This is a business event, not a beauty pageant.
00:56:07No one's looking for eye candy.
00:56:09If I was you, I'd walk out of here right now.
00:56:13You come in over here.
00:56:16Trying to steal the spotlight is embarrassing.
00:56:20Why don't you take a good look?
00:56:23You really think you got that on your own?
00:56:27More like a host handed it off because you're still riding on Tristan's coattails.
00:56:33That's weird.
00:56:35I never told the host to let her in.
00:56:38There's only one way that's possible.
00:56:40It's fake.
00:56:50Can you believe it?
00:56:52Someone actually faked a Shadow Alliance invite.
00:56:56That's insane.
00:56:58If people were to find out the entire Kingsley Empire is done.
00:57:02No, no, you've got it wrong.
00:57:06It doesn't matter if this invite is real or that's not your call to me.
00:57:11Shut up!
00:57:13Are you trying to drag this family down?
00:57:16Victoria, you need to get this useless man out of here now!
00:57:22Vicky, look what you've done to Grandpa.
00:57:24Apologize now.
00:57:26Could this invite actually be fake?
00:57:28Oh, let's go.
00:57:31Wait.
00:57:32Why are you guys running?
00:57:35You were so confident that invite was real.
00:57:39Well, if my invite is fake...
00:57:44Well, then this entire event is a shaman.
00:57:47We can go home.
00:57:49Prove it.
00:57:51Open it up.
00:57:53And show us.
00:57:55Yeah.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:56Let us see it.
00:57:57Open it up.
00:57:58Open it up.
00:57:59Open it.
00:58:00Open it.
00:58:02Open it.
00:58:03Open it.
00:58:04Open it.
00:58:08Come on, bud.
00:58:10Stop wasting everybody's time.
00:58:15Now, you are absolutely sure this invite is fake.
00:58:21Damn right.
00:58:23You know what?
00:58:23Let's make it interesting.
00:58:25If that invite is forged, I'll break your leg.
00:58:30She hands over the quantum chip.
00:58:33And if it's real.
00:58:36And I'll kneel down and kiss your shoes.
00:58:40I'll get the hell out of here.
00:58:43Deal.
00:58:57You're called that an invitation?
00:59:00Oh, my God.
00:59:00You have got to be kidding me.
00:59:07You see this?
00:59:09This is the sloppiest fake.
00:59:11I've ever seen.
00:59:13Listen up, genius.
00:59:15Shadow Alliance invites come in black for standard and blue for VIPs.
00:59:22Vicky, if you're going to fake one, at least do your research first.
00:59:28Grandpa was right.
00:59:30You don't deserve to lead the Kingsley family.
00:59:35Victoria, you have brought this on yourself.
00:59:37You are turning this family into a complete joke.
00:59:41Who said it's fake?
00:59:44Cut the crap.
00:59:46Like I said, this is Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
00:59:50Only one's ever been sent out since it's been founded.
00:59:54Makes sense.
00:59:55They've never seen it before.
00:59:57But that doesn't mean it's fake.
00:59:59Enough, Cole.
01:00:01Everyone here doesn't believe a word you say.
01:00:05And I'm about to make you regret a run in your mouth.
01:00:08Grab him.
01:00:11I'll break his leg myself.
01:00:28That is the Lester Duvall.
01:00:33He is from the Shadow Alliance.
01:00:36I heard he handles everything.
01:00:38All the Shadow Alliance's outside business.
01:00:40I can't believe we're actually getting to see him in person.
01:00:43If I could work with him, I'd be on Wall Street in no time.
01:00:47You wish.
01:00:48The Shadow Alliance is definitely going to pick Tristan as their new partner for sure.
01:00:52The Kingsley family is already hanging on them.
01:00:55Tristan, sounds like you're going to be the star tonight.
01:00:59Lucky you, Vicky.
01:01:01Even with a fake invite, you still get to meet Mr. Duvall.
01:01:05Once you become the Shadow Alliance's new leader, you'll introduce me to Mr. Duvall, right?
01:01:09Of course.
01:01:11My family is counting on you.
01:01:15Don't worry.
01:01:16I got it.
01:01:18But from now on, Serena Kingsley runs the family company.
01:01:24Yes, of course, of course.
01:01:26Don't worry.
01:01:28You're going to be the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:01:32Nobody's changing that.
01:01:34You better.
01:01:35We'll see how long that lasts.
01:01:39Mr. Duvall, this is Tristan Vann, heir to the Vann's richest family in the state.
01:01:46And he's my cousin.
01:01:47It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Duvall.
01:01:52Oh, this is Serena Kingsley, the new appointed CEO of the Kingsley Company.
01:01:58Mr. Duvall, it's a pleasure.
01:02:02Tristan, Mr. Duvall is picking the Shadow Alliance's new partner tonight.
01:02:07Don't mess it up.
01:02:09Got it.
01:02:10Mr. Duvall, if you pick me, I will not let the Shadow Alliance down.
01:02:16Which one of them did Ms. Cross tell me to look after?
01:02:21Didn't you say Victoria would be the new partner for the Shadow Alliance?
01:02:24Looks like she couldn't even get a nod from Mr. Duvall.
01:02:27He's probably just scared Mr. Duvall's going to find out the invite's fate.
01:02:33That's why he's keeping his mouth shut.
01:02:37The event's just started.
01:02:40Nobody knows yet who the Shadow Alliance is going to pick.
01:02:44Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shadow Alliance Summit.
01:02:48And please welcome Mr. Lester Duvall from the Shadow Alliance.
01:02:57Tonight's agenda is simple.
01:02:59Mr. Duvall will be selecting the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:03:03And donating $50 billion to the quantum chip research.
01:03:10This is our shot.
01:03:12If you would like to be considered, step forward now.
01:03:17Get back there.
01:03:20The Vann family is ready to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:03:24Mr. Duvall, the Vanns are, frankly, the strongest candidate in the room.
01:03:30Nice job, Tristan.
01:03:33Congrats!
01:03:34If there are no other candidates, I'll now announce the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:03:39I'm in.
01:03:42I want that partnership, too.
01:03:47Victoria, stop it!
01:03:48Tristan is the Shadow Alliance's new partner.
01:03:51Quit embarrassing us!
01:03:53Vicky, I know you want the spotlight.
01:03:56But don't embarrass our family for your ego.
01:04:00Aren't you a Kingsley, too?
01:04:03Mr. Duvall, you can forget about her.
01:04:06Serena is our new CEO.
01:04:07That is all you need to know.
01:04:09Victoria never said she wanted to become the Shadow Alliance's partner as part of the Kingsley family.
01:04:14And what does that mean?
01:04:16She's starting her own company.
01:04:18Under her name.
01:04:21Are you serious?
01:04:23A shell company partnering with the Shadow Alliance?
01:04:26Do you think everyone's dumb enough to believe that?
01:04:29You got in here on a fake invite.
01:04:31Don't push your luck.
01:04:32Someone forged a Shadow Alliance invite?
01:04:40You know, since the Shadow Alliance started,
01:04:43there were two people
01:04:45that forged an invite.
01:04:48And they
01:04:49paid the price.
01:04:52Didn't think I'll see such a fool today.
01:04:55What's the matter?
01:04:57Didn't think Mr. Duvall would show up in person?
01:05:00When I show him this fake invite,
01:05:05your cover's blown.
01:05:07And you're done.
01:05:09Cool.
01:05:11Oh, wait.
01:05:14Mr. Duvall, here it is.
01:05:19That's the most exclusive invite to the summit.
01:05:22This is the cheapest fake I've ever seen.
01:05:25And an outright insult to you.
01:05:28Let me take this garbage out for you.
01:05:31Stop!
01:05:38Mr. Duvall, why are you?
01:05:40That's right.
01:05:41This really is the Shadow Alliance's most exclusive invite.
01:05:46Mr. Duvall, it's just a fake.
01:05:47Shut up!
01:05:48Oh, my God.
01:05:52Mr. Slade,
01:05:54this is the Shadow Alliance's exclusive invitation.
01:05:57You have access to all of our properties.
01:05:59No interference.
01:06:01What?
01:06:02He doesn't have the authority to get something like this.
01:06:04Are you going to question my judgment?
01:06:08Not now.
01:06:10Focus on securing the partnership first.
01:06:13We'll deal with the rest once this is over.
01:06:17Vicky,
01:06:18partnerships run on resources.
01:06:21Without the Kingsleys,
01:06:23what can you even do?
01:06:26Victoria, if you are found and determined to start your own company,
01:06:31the Kingsley family will give you nothing.
01:06:35Well, sure.
01:06:37Victoria's company is new.
01:06:38It doesn't have all the resources it needs yet.
01:06:41But we have something you can't say no to.
01:06:46If you make Victoria your new partner,
01:06:49you're going to make someone really happy.
01:06:51Are you nuts?
01:06:52$50 billion to make one person happy?
01:06:55You think the Shadow Alliance is that stupid to believe that?
01:07:00Victoria, shut him up before he drags us all down.
01:07:03Victoria, get him out of here now!
01:07:06Exactly who
01:07:08is going to be happy?
01:07:10Well, you're not here to
01:07:11make money or do business.
01:07:14You're just here to please someone.
01:07:17Enough!
01:07:18You know what?
01:07:18Save this for your funeral.
01:07:20Get him out of here!
01:07:21All you have to do is pick Victoria
01:07:24and you will get exactly
01:07:25what you want.
01:07:28Trust me.
01:07:31The badge I gave you.
01:07:33Where is it?
01:07:41Hold it!
01:07:46Victoria, if this family takes a hit,
01:07:48we're going to sever ties with you for good.
01:07:51Oh, Mr. Duvall's coming right for you.
01:07:54Looks pretty pissed, too.
01:07:57Miss Gansley,
01:07:59may I have that badge, please?
01:08:08That, that's it.
01:08:10It's the real thing.
01:08:12Miss Gansley,
01:08:13do you intend to start a new company
01:08:15and form a partnership
01:08:16with the Shadow Alliance?
01:08:18I'm a mission of all.
01:08:19No reason to get upset.
01:08:20I'll get these two out of here.
01:08:22What's the holdup?
01:08:23Move it!
01:08:27You think you can just interrupt me?
01:08:30You see this?
01:08:31I'm in hot water
01:08:32because you two pissed them off!
01:08:34When this summer is over,
01:08:36you two are getting what's coming to you.
01:08:37Don't worry, Tristan.
01:08:39The moment we step out of this room,
01:08:41Victoria's no longer a member of this family.
01:08:44Ladies and gentlemen,
01:08:46the Shadow Alliance has made a decision.
01:08:49Our new partner is...
01:08:56Once you land Shadow Alliance,
01:08:59taking down Victoria and Cole
01:09:00is going to be child's play.
01:09:03The new partner of the Shadow Alliance is...
01:09:09Miss Victoria Kingsley.
01:09:16Miss Kingsley.
01:09:17Please have your paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:09:20I'll come by and sign it myself.
01:09:22No way!
01:09:24How is it her?
01:09:27But this has to all be about dreaming.
01:09:30The $50 billion is yours.
01:09:32You can use it as you see fit.
01:09:34And if you need any resources from then on,
01:09:37give the word and I'll make it happen.
01:09:40What is the deal with Victoria?
01:09:42I mean, who is she?
01:09:44The Shadow Alliance doesn't just partner
01:09:46with random people.
01:09:48That deal is basically free money.
01:09:51Cole said that Lester was just trying
01:09:54to make people happy, right?
01:09:57Who do we think the elephant in the room is?
01:09:59He flipped like a switch
01:10:00the second he saw that badge in her hand.
01:10:02He was going to give the partnership to Tristan.
01:10:07No!
01:10:09Man, this is impossible!
01:10:12I never lose!
01:10:14Cole, am I dreaming?
01:10:18When I tell you,
01:10:20carry that badge,
01:10:21I'll pick you.
01:10:22Period.
01:10:24But $50 billion?
01:10:27All off one tiny badge?
01:10:30Miss Kingsley,
01:10:31I look forward to working with you.
01:10:33Have the paperwork ready by tomorrow.
01:10:35I'll come guys sign it.
01:10:37If you need anything in the meantime,
01:10:39you say the word and I'll make it happen.
01:10:40You're serious?
01:10:42All of this is real?
01:10:44Of course it's not real.
01:10:45Wake up!
01:10:46He only picked you
01:10:47because he assumed you were
01:10:48running the Kingsley family.
01:10:51Mr. Duval,
01:10:53she's just a pretty face.
01:10:54She is unfit
01:10:56to partner with the Shadow Alliance.
01:10:58Okay?
01:10:58She has no resources.
01:11:00Mr. Duval,
01:11:02if we're talking about power and influence,
01:11:07Tristan is the only logical choice.
01:11:11That's right, Victoria.
01:11:12As of today,
01:11:14you are no longer a member of this family.
01:11:16And without the Kingsley name,
01:11:18you have absolutely nothing to offer.
01:11:21The Shadow Alliance!
01:11:27You Kingsley sure you want to cut Victoria loose?
01:11:34That's that friend of yours.
01:11:37What's she doing here?
01:11:38I almost thought she was someone important.
01:11:41But if she's Cole's friend,
01:11:43she's probably just a gutter rat.
01:11:44Keep talking like that.
01:11:45And the Van family's going to be
01:11:47six feet under by midnight.
01:11:51Go on, Lester.
01:11:53Tell the distinguished Mr. Van who I am.
01:11:56Oh!
01:11:57Oh, Tristan!
01:11:58Oh, God!
01:12:01This is Miss Amber Cross,
01:12:03the U.S. Director of the Shadow Alliance.
01:12:06And if I remember,
01:12:07you just refer to Miss Cross
01:12:10as a gutter rat.
01:12:12I know who she was.
01:12:13Oh, God!
01:12:14Mr. Duval, please.
01:12:15Tristan's just young and ignorant.
01:12:17Huh.
01:12:18Give him another chance to prove himself.
01:12:22What the fuck, man?
01:12:23This is my turf.
01:12:26I'm the one who wants this.
01:12:28No one comes in here and pushes me around.
01:12:32I need the Shadow Alliance!
01:12:33You hear me?
01:12:36If all you had done
01:12:37was cross the Shadow Alliance,
01:12:39I may have given you a free pass.
01:12:41But what's really unforgivable
01:12:43is that you disrespected
01:12:44Miss Victoria Kingsley,
01:12:46the woman with the badge.
01:12:49Cole, what is this?
01:12:51Even Amber's acting like
01:12:53it's the most valuable thing in the world.
01:12:55Dad, isn't it the same badge
01:12:57Cole tried to give you
01:12:58at the family dinner?
01:13:00No way that thing
01:13:01actually has any real pull.
01:13:03Well, I tried to tell you.
01:13:05This badge could single-handedly
01:13:07make your family crisis disappear
01:13:10and turn you into financial giants.
01:13:13You Kingsleys lit
01:13:14the golden ticket on fire.
01:13:19Seeing this badge
01:13:21is seeing the owner.
01:13:23No one disrespects it.
01:13:25No one.
01:13:27Forget 50 billion.
01:13:28Make it 100.
01:13:29200.
01:13:30Hell, make it the entire
01:13:31Shadow Alliance.
01:13:32If it was the badge owner's orders,
01:13:34we'd have to give it over.
01:13:36No questions asked.
01:13:37The code wasn't bluffing.
01:13:39That means that
01:13:39it's the actual
01:13:40Mona Lisa.
01:13:42Oh my God.
01:13:44I've crushed our entire family's
01:13:45fortune with my own hands.
01:13:47You.
01:13:48You said that ID
01:13:50was yours.
01:13:53Who the hell are you,
01:13:54Mr. Slade?
01:13:56I'm sorry.
01:13:59What?
01:14:02This badge
01:14:03is your ID?
01:14:04You've all heard the legend, right?
01:14:07How there's a
01:14:08phantom tycoon
01:14:09lurking in the shadows.
01:14:11A mystery billionaire
01:14:13who holds the entire economy
01:14:16in the palm of his hand.
01:14:17One word from him
01:14:19and blue chip
01:14:21stocks crater.
01:14:22One word
01:14:23and he turns a deadbeat
01:14:25into a star
01:14:25of high society.
01:14:27And the only way
01:14:28to identify
01:14:29this mystery man,
01:14:31the man who
01:14:32has the power
01:14:33to tilt the world
01:14:34on its axis,
01:14:36is that bad,
01:14:38and he is the owner.
01:14:41Cole Slade,
01:14:42the man behind the mask,
01:14:44the real mystery billionaire.
01:14:47Mr. Slade,
01:14:49I am sorry
01:14:50for speaking out of term.
01:14:54Please,
01:14:55accept my apologies.
01:14:56Lester, really?
01:14:57Please,
01:14:58let's cut the formalities.
01:15:00It's a fake, okay?
01:15:02It has to be a fake!
01:15:03Lester,
01:15:04I want you
01:15:06to bankrupt
01:15:06the van family
01:15:08in three minutes
01:15:09or less.
01:15:10Yes, sir.
01:15:13I'm sorry,
01:15:15Mrs. Slade.
01:15:16Please.
01:15:17Please.
01:15:19Mr. Slade,
01:15:21the van group stock
01:15:22has just tanked.
01:15:25They are now
01:15:26bankrupt.
01:15:28No!
01:15:31No!
01:15:44Since you love him
01:15:46so much,
01:15:48you can go
01:15:48keep him company.
01:15:49Let's go.
01:15:51Vicky,
01:15:53we're family.
01:15:55I'm your cousin.
01:15:56Please don't do this.
01:15:58Family,
01:15:59my days as a Kingsley
01:16:01are over.
01:16:02No!
01:16:03I'm your wife
01:16:04like so.
01:16:11Well,
01:16:11now that you Kingsley's
01:16:12are nothing to Victoria,
01:16:15I want you to do yourselves
01:16:16a favor and
01:16:18get out of our sight.
01:16:19If I were to so much
01:16:21as see your faces again,
01:16:23it would be as if
01:16:24the Kingsley name
01:16:24never existed.
01:16:29so Victoria has the
01:16:31Shadow Alliance deal
01:16:32and her parents' research
01:16:33is safe.
01:16:35You've accomplished
01:16:36your mission, right?
01:16:37All there's left for you
01:16:38to do
01:16:39is leave her
01:16:40and marry me.
01:16:47Victoria, don't.
01:16:50I know you knew my brother.
01:16:53I'm safe now, okay?
01:16:56You should go.
01:17:00Thank you for everything.
01:17:07Victoria.
01:17:08Cole, stop.
01:17:11You've already done
01:17:12so much for me.
01:17:14I can't keep weighing you down.
01:17:20Remember when you asked
01:17:21if I ever served
01:17:22in the military?
01:17:23So,
01:17:24you're finally ready
01:17:26to tell me.
01:17:27I served with
01:17:27your brother, Alex.
01:17:28You knew my brother?
01:17:30We were brothers in arms.
01:17:32His last words
01:17:33were to keep you safe.
01:17:35He's
01:17:36dead?
01:17:37The mission failed.
01:17:40He didn't make it back.
01:17:43He didn't want you to know
01:17:44because he was afraid
01:17:44it was going to break you.
01:17:46Why didn't you tell me?
01:17:49Why didn't you let me
01:17:50see him one last time?
01:17:53Go.
01:17:54I'll take you to him.
01:18:00Alex,
01:18:01you're such a jerk.
01:18:04Do you know
01:18:05how hard it's been?
01:18:06All on my own.
01:18:09Everyone tried
01:18:10to tear me apart.
01:18:11But now,
01:18:12I have Cole.
01:18:15I think,
01:18:16I think I'm in love
01:18:18with him.
01:18:21He's the most powerful
01:18:22man in the Federation.
01:18:25I'm not good enough,
01:18:26am I?
01:18:27I'm sure you'd call me
01:18:28stupid again.
01:18:38What the hell?
01:18:43Alex?
01:18:45Hey, man.
01:18:51Now you remember
01:18:52our pact.
01:18:54Whoever dies first,
01:18:55the other has to wear
01:18:56a wedding dress.
01:18:58And now it's for
01:18:59the bride.
01:19:04her husband.
01:19:05that's your sister.
01:19:07What?
01:19:08Have you lost your mind?
01:19:10Victoria Kingsley.
01:19:13Your brother asked me
01:19:14to guard you for life
01:19:15if you didn't make it back.
01:19:18But I don't want to
01:19:19just be a guard, too.
01:19:22Is this your idea
01:19:23of a proposal
01:19:24in a wedding dress?
01:19:26Just to keep my promise
01:19:28in marrying you.
01:19:31Unless you have a problem
01:19:32with that.
01:19:34Idiot.
01:19:47Rest easy, my brother.
01:19:49I'll protect Victoria
01:19:50for the rest of my life.
