00:11Is that all you got?
00:18Isn't that the Quinn Group CEO? What's she doing here?
00:21She's even better looking in person than in the hollows.
00:23Prison job. No private airship. Flying commercial.
00:26Good off name or not, he's practically disowned.
00:29Hopefully he knows when to back off.
00:31Just go back where you came from.
00:35What's all that racket?
00:38Guess I'm getting old. Sleep comes easy.
00:40Master, are you alright?
00:42What could possibly be wrong with me?
00:44Your file says you're F rank, single digit synergy, so why are you this strong?
00:47Curiosity is a dangerous thing. Tell me who sent you. Maybe I'll let you walk.
00:52We have standards.
00:55Forget it. We're almost there. I'll let the government forces sort you out.
00:59I told you, we have standards.
01:03Master!
01:09Look, news just broke.
01:11Flight X to Durley Energy Burst midair.
01:13No survivors!
01:23Dead. Just like that?
01:27Isn't that Pete Claude's private transport?
01:29The richest man in Durley?
01:30What's he doing here himself?
01:32Who's important enough for Pete to play showkart?
01:34If I were the richest woman alive, my family's cash flow wouldn't be choking
01:37and I wouldn't be stuck in this absurd arranged marriage.
01:43Derry's burning up.
01:44Pete here yet?
01:45Over there.
01:45I told him to keep it low-key.
01:47We weren't exactly subtle getting us out of that explosion either.
01:50No one saw.
01:53Who the hell is this hick?
01:54You think you can just climb in here?
01:56Get out!
01:56You ungrateful wretch!
01:58Get out of my sight!
02:04Master Edward!
02:04My deepest apologies!
02:06I failed to train my staff properly!
02:07I deserve this!
02:09Alright, alright.
02:09Just drive.
02:10I've told you a hundred times.
02:11Keep a low profile.
02:12Yes, yes!
02:12Of course!
02:17Master, if you show up dressed like that,
02:19won't it reflect poorly on the old man?
02:21I'm already doing him a favor by showing up besides.
02:23You ever hear that saying?
02:24With great power comes great responsibility.
02:27No need to look too powerful.
02:32Dad, that blind date you set up!
02:35Edward!
02:35His plane went down!
02:37He's already...
02:37dead.
02:39Hello.
02:40My name is Edward.
02:41Didn't startle you, did I?
02:42Edward?
02:44No.
02:45I thought you...
02:46Overslept?
02:47Missed the flight.
02:48Otherwise, I really wouldn't have had the pleasure.
02:50Oh.
02:51I see.
02:52Don't just stand there.
02:53We've been waiting ages.
02:55Forgive her.
02:57Angelina's a bit...
02:58slow sometimes.
02:59Slow's good.
03:00Means she's steady.
03:03Unlike some people.
03:05This is what you bring?
03:07On your first visit?
03:08Is something wrong, Auntie?
03:09I heard the old man enjoys a good vintage, so...
03:11You're trying to pass off some mystery bottle on us?
03:18Auntie, it's a vintage Romané Conté.
03:20I had someone pull it from one of the Old Earth Earth climate vaults.
03:22You think I can't tell?
03:24This cheap counterfeit can't be real.
03:26Grandfather values his collection above all else.
03:28If he gets hurt, the whole family will pay.
03:30Honestly, this came from Pete.
03:31Should be legitimate.
03:32Pete?
03:33The richest man in Durley?
03:35You work at Blackwater Prison in the far north.
03:37How would you possibly know him?
03:39They really did their homework.
03:41Wouldn't be surprised if this guy hired the welcoming committee on the plane.
03:45Great.
03:46He's vain and blind.
03:47Now Wesley gets to watch us all squirm.
03:50Wesley!
03:51Darling!
03:52You shouldn't have.
03:54Flowers for the radiant Angelina.
03:57Uncle George, a vintage Charles Shaw from the old world.
04:01Specially procured for the old man.
04:03Well, real or not, Edward meant well.
04:06Uncle George, drinking counterfeit wine is bad for the system.
04:09You know my collection.
04:10I know world vintage better than anyone.
04:13Romoné Conté?
04:14Oh my God!
04:20Fake is fake.
04:21It's filthy.
04:22An eyesore.
04:23I called you here for a reason.
04:25Don't waste this chance.
04:26To marry the Quinn Group's CEO, you need to be someone exceptional.
04:30Look at how you're dressed.
04:31I came from the far north.
04:33Didn't account for the climate.
04:34Bought this at the airport.
04:35Gustav family, right?
04:36So you must be the warden up at that far north prison.
04:39Jailer.
04:40Did I hear that right?
04:42Jailer?
04:43Uncle, I know the Gustav family is mysterious and powerful, but even so, he's a cast-off,
04:47isn't he?
04:48Dad, make him stop.
04:49George!
04:50Wesley's right.
04:51Why force Angelina to marry this nobody when we have a perfectly good son-in-law right
04:54here?
04:55If I weren't using your cash flow crisis to swallow your group whole, none of you Quinn
05:01women would be worth my time.
05:03Everyone's playing their own game.
05:05Why don't you come work as a janitor at my company?
05:07Then at least you'd be worthy of breathing the same air as Angelina.
05:11You think you can compete with me for a woman?
05:16You!
05:19Compete with you, please.
05:21Uncle George, marriage is a two-way street.
05:23Today was just a visit.
05:24Let's call the engagement off.
05:25Not like I wanted this anyway.
05:27Hold it right there!
05:28Take your fake wine with you.
05:29It's disgusting to look at.
05:31If it's fake, why keep it?
05:39Dad!
05:41What a wonderfully fragrant wine!
05:44Dad?
05:51Grandpa, what are you doing up?
05:53With a fragrance that rich in the air?
05:55How could anyone sleep?
05:58Grandpa Simon truly is a master connoisseur.
06:00I haven't even opened this Charles Shaw yet, and you already caught the scent.
06:03Get that out of my face!
06:04Cheap $2 schweil from the old days, and you think that's worthy of my nose?
06:08And the label's wrong.
06:09Three bars on the door, not two?
06:10You don't even know you bought a forgery, you idiot!
06:16This, this is...
06:19Dad, what are you doing?
06:21Fine!
06:22Absolutely divine.
06:26That's it.
06:27That's the flavor.
06:27The king of wines from the old world, Mamane Conte!
06:30Grandpa, please get up!
06:31The floor's filthy!
06:31How can I be calm?
06:33This is Romane Conte!
06:34Worth over a hundred million credits, and it's soaking into the floorboards!
06:38A hundred million?
06:41Fortunately, there was still one in the wine box.
06:43Dad, look!
06:44There's one more.
06:45Please, calm down.
06:46Yes, yes.
06:47Romane Conte, priceless.
06:48Where in the world did you get this?
06:50Angelina's fiancé brought it.
06:51He heard you appreciate fine wine and went to great lengths to acquire it.
06:55Well then, for the sake of this bottle, I approve of this grandson-in-law.
06:59What?
07:04Absolutely not, father!
07:05I forbid it!
07:06You despicable little schemer.
07:08You knew it was real all along, didn't you?
07:11You just wanted to challenge Wesley and me to sabotage our family's relations.
07:15What kind of person does that?
07:16Exactly.
07:17And how could some pathetic prison guard from the middle of nowhere, F-rank trash with an
07:21eight synergy rate, possibly get his hands on a vintage like this?
07:24I told you, Pete got it for me.
07:26He's a friend.
07:27Ridiculous!
07:28Pete is the wealthiest man in the city.
07:29Why would he be friends with a broke nobody like you?
07:32Let me show you what a real A-rank mechanic with a hundred thousand synergy can do, you piece
07:37of trash!
07:40You dare lay a hand on my grandson-in-law in my own house?
07:43Let go of me!
07:46With pleasure!
07:48That's it?
07:49That's what you bring into my home?
07:50But father, the wine's providence is still questionable.
07:52Enough.
07:53Pete didn't become the richest man by being small-minded.
07:55He makes friends.
07:56He gives gifts.
07:57What would a narrow-minded woman like you know about any of that?
08:00My dear grandson-in-law, ignore these fools.
08:04You'll stay here tonight.
08:05Dad, even if the wine is they're not married yet, it's improper for him to stay in our home.
08:09I appreciate the hospitality, grandfather, but Aunt Shirley has a point.
08:13I should take my leave.
08:15Effective immediately, your allowance is frozen for the next six months.
08:18Go upstairs and think about your behavior.
08:20Father!
08:23Lilia, this black emperor.
08:24Are we sure the intel about him being in Atlantis is solid?
08:26Orders came from the top.
08:27We don't have the luxury of doubting them.
08:29Funny timing, though.
08:30The second you kick that worthless Edward to the blue, Lord Carl hands you a mission this critical.
08:34Walking away from that marriage was the best decision you ever made.
08:36Why even bring him up?
08:37A man like that, drifting through life with no purpose, could never set foot in a place like Atlantis, let
08:42alone stand in the presence of someone like the Black and Gold.
08:45The world's largest underground hotel, Atlantis.
08:49It really is something else.
09:03It really is something else.
09:05Father, how long has it been?
09:06I'm calling to report.
09:07Just finished that blind date you arranged.
09:10Nonsense!
09:11I never authorized any trip to Delhi, much less a hotel booking!
09:15Didn't you send me to meet the Quinn family?
09:17Their CEO was supposed to be my arranged marriage?
09:21Bullshit!
09:21What Quinn group?
09:22Never heard of them!
09:23Where are you really?
09:25Durley City.
09:26Atlantis Hotel.
09:27Didn't you book this room for me?
09:28I absolutely did not send you to Durley or book any hotel!
09:34What the hell is going on here?
09:35Don't worry about that now!
09:37It's a trap!
09:37Take Victor and leave!
09:38Go back to Blackwater!
09:40Got it.
09:40I'll go pick up Victor right away.
09:42Remember, trust no one.
09:43Not even me!
09:46Understood.
09:50Victor?
09:57Is there no end to this farce?
