Short filmTranscript
00:01What's your name?
00:02Ivy. Ivy Green.
00:11I'm here for the private caregiver position.
00:14The Windsors are not a charity.
00:16Don't waste my time.
00:17If you doubt my skills, let me see the patient first.
00:21Sir, her ladyship is expecting the new nurse.
00:32What are you looking at?
00:35I was just thinking this place is beautiful.
00:39Beautiful things are usually the most dangerous.
00:41Come closer.
00:44What's your name?
00:46Ivy. Ivy Green.
00:49I'll call the doctor.
00:51Look at me. Slow breath in.
00:53One more time. Don't rush.
00:56This girl stays.
00:57Grandmother, we haven't cleared her background yet.
00:59Some people can be investigated thoroughly and still not be trusted.
01:02And some people only need one look.
01:04Just because my grandmother likes you doesn't mean you belong here.
01:07I'm here to do my job.
01:08It better be.
01:17The doctor is on the way.
01:21Who changed her evening medication?
01:23Since when does a caregiver gets to interrogate us?
01:27It's just a reaction to the wrong dosage.
01:29She stays.
01:30According to Lady Windsor's amended will, if Al is clear,
01:32Alexander Windsor does not enter a legal marriage and maintain a stable family relationship within one month.
01:36Grandmother, this is absurd!
01:37To control the Wednesday group, I will send you a copy.
01:38Thank you for your time.
01:39You will do as you are told.
01:40You will marry her.
01:41Of course I want what's best for the family.
01:43But if this is mother's decision, we should respect it.
01:45One month? That won't be easy.
01:47Alexander, you have what it takes to run the company, but you don't know how to keep a family.
01:50Yet you've treated every emotion like a transaction.
01:52Marriage is not a business tool.
01:54If you must marry, that girl will do.
01:57Lady Winson, I'm only a caregiver.
01:59You saved me.
02:00Compared to people calculating when I'll die, you're far cleaner.
02:03Grandmother, how can you let someone like her into the Winson family?
02:08Congratulations, miss.
02:09Not everyone gets a chance to rise this fast.
02:11The higher the chance, the harder the fall.
02:14You heard her. I'm not marrying a stranger.
02:16I did. Then refuse.
02:18What if she insists?
02:20That depends on what you can offer me.
02:30Sit.
02:33You move faster than I expected.
02:35I don't have time to play romance for my grandmother. This is a prenup. One year.
02:39You help me stabilize the situation and I'll give you enough money and a respectable exit.
02:42No access to the sealed archive wing?
02:45That's not a place for you.
02:48I want one more clause.
02:50During the marriage, I remain Lady Wilson's caregiver. No one removes me.
02:56Go ahead.
02:58You know exactly what you want.
03:00So do you.
03:02Please confirm once again that both parties enter this marriage willingly.
03:05I confirm.
03:06I confirm.
03:08Miss Ivy, what did you do to marry into the Winson family?
03:10Mr. Alexander, is this love or a transaction?
03:13Please clear the way.
03:14Our marriage is our private matter.
03:15As for what I did, maybe I'm more qualified to stand here than you think.
03:19Congratulations, Ivy.
03:20A caregiver yesterday, Mrs. Winson today.
03:23A Cinderella in a wedding dress still isn't a princess.
03:25She is my wife now.
03:26You can't be serious.
03:28You should learn to respect her.
03:30A beautiful move.
03:32Too bad the wedding is only the beginning.
03:33From tonight on, you sleep here.
03:35Remember, this is only a partnership.
03:36Relax.
03:37I'm not interested in men who have no feelings.
03:40Open the door.
03:40If she's already stealing, this is getting interesting.
03:52Why did you lock the door?
03:54Is locking the door on a wedding night strange?
03:58Grandmother wants you downstairs for the family dinner.
04:02Everyone, this is Alexander's new wife.
04:05She trained in nursing.
04:07How inspiring.
04:09You don't see someone go from a hospital wall to high society every day.
04:12Ivy, do you even know how to use this cutlery?
04:16This is a late Victorian custom set.
04:19The fish knife is narrower than the dinner knife,
04:21and the handle carries the old Winson crest.
04:24If you want to test me, at least choose something harder.
04:27Then what about this wine?
04:28Surely you don't know the vintage, too?
04:30The wine is fine.
04:31The decancer isn't.
04:32This wine should carry blackberry and cedar notes,
04:34but now there's a metallic edge.
04:36I told you, she belongs here.
04:39Knowing silverware and wine doesn't make her worthy of this family.
04:42Worth is not decided by who speaks louder.
04:46A normal nursing graduate shouldn't know any of that.
04:48I told you, I'm more qualified to stand here than you think.
04:51Who are you, really?
04:53Lady Windsor is gone!
05:06Do you always welcome your husband like this?
05:10Why were you testing my door lock in the middle of the night?
05:13From today on, you stay in the outer room of the master suite.
05:15The lock was falsy.
05:16I came to check security.
05:17Don't flatter yourself.
05:20We perform.
05:21We do not feel.
05:22You write marriage like a merger restriction.
05:25It's good for both of us.
05:26Relax.
05:26I'm not attracted to refrigerators.
05:29Stay away from the far right cabinet in my study.
05:40My lady!
05:42Where the hell is the doctor?
05:44Hook up the backup oxygen now.
05:46Matthew, get the emergency kit.
05:47Alexander, clear the room.
05:48Only I stay.
05:49If you want her alive, do exactly as I say.
05:51Are you sure?
05:58Fortunately, you acted in time.
06:00Back then, they wanted your mother to die like this too.
06:03Thank you for tonight.
06:03Don't thank me yet.
06:04Someone is setting her up.
06:05Do you have proof?
06:06Not yet, but I will.
06:07Starting tomorrow, you move into the inner suite.
06:09Is that protection or surveillance?
06:10I haven't decided.
06:15Mrs. Wellington, now that you've married into money, surely you can tell wine apart, right?
06:20Take a guess.
06:21Which one is the most expensive?
06:25This one is a 1996 Left Bank Bordeaux, but it was stored at the wrong temperature.
06:29The finish is flat.
06:30This one isn't French.
06:31It's a Napa-Burgo style blend.
06:33The oak is too fresh.
06:34No more than 10 years old.
06:35The most expensive is this one.
06:37A 2005 Grand Cru Burgundy.
06:39But the cork is slightly tainted.
06:41It should have been replaced before serving.
06:42She is completely correct.
06:43There's no way you know all this.
06:45You people love turning your own ignorance into someone else's label.
06:49Looks like the one who knows wine best tonight isn't any of us.
06:52Knowing wine doesn't mean knowing class.
06:55Background is something you can't change.
06:58My wife's background is of your concern.
07:00My wife.
07:03Alexander, you're doing this to me because of her?
07:06You crossed the line first.
07:07You was my Matiamon eyes.
07:08You not first in the wrong.
07:10You know how women are.
07:11And they're in spare fools, else remaining, and you burst.
07:15Tonight, you look like someone else.
07:17You were confident, powerful, even a little bit dangerous.
07:20Disappointed I didn't humiliate myself the way you expected.
07:22I want to know who you really are more and more.
07:23Some answers are dangerous once you know them.
07:25You should be careful.
07:26Keep digging into her.
07:27She didn't come to the Winsos for marriage.
07:29She came for revenge.
07:43Elena Hart.
07:48So you were in it.
08:03Sneaking into the basement archive at midnight, copying family files.
08:07You still want to claim you have no agenda?
08:10I'm looking for old records related to your grandmother's condition.
08:14You even know about this.
08:16Give it back.
08:17Tell me the truth.
08:18What do you really want from this family?
08:21From today on, watch her every move.
08:23Who she meets, what she sees, what she digs into.
08:26I want everything.
08:27You dig into old family files behind my back and still expect my trust?
08:31You never trusted me in the first place.
08:34Go back to your room now.
08:36Some truths are right here.
08:44Sir, there's a delivery for you.
08:48Three, two, one.
08:50And now for our next item.
08:52This exquisite piece will be presented by the new Lady Winson herself.
08:58Mrs. Wilson, would you do us the honor of introducing this heirloom piece?
09:07Ivy, don't be nervous.
09:08Just say the lines you memorized.
09:10Before I introduce it, I suggest one thing.
09:14Change the label from heirloom masterpiece to counterfeit sample.
09:18The original is Edwardian, with finer salar work and deeper sapphire cuts.
09:21Mrs. Winston, surely you're joking?
09:22More importantly, the real piece surfaced at a private Geneva auction three years ago.
09:26Its whereabouts are documented.
09:27This one was copied from an old auction cantaloupe.
09:30So someone tried to launder a fake through charity tonight?
09:37My wife's judgment is the Windsor family's position.
09:47That's enough.
09:48You humiliate me again and again because of her?
09:50You humiliate yourself?
09:54How did you know that Broach surfaced in Geneva?
09:57Do you really think standing next to him makes you safe?
10:04If Windsor can't show real commitment now, we'll move our deal to Mr. Victor's side.
10:14You're not trying to raise the price.
10:16You're afraid your cash flow is collapsing.
10:19What exactly do you mean?
10:24So this isn't a negotiation.
10:26It's a bluff.
10:27Hoping Winster won't realize you're running out of time.
10:31You have no proof.
10:33The shipping group on your tie clip was bound graded yesterday.
10:36The revised contract on your desk has fresh emergency print marks on page four.
10:39You didn't even wait for full legal review before pushing this?
10:41Tell me, did I guess right?
10:41I want the contract revised to reflect these new terms.
10:44How much more are you hiding from me?
10:46I helped you today.
10:47Save the interrogation.
10:53Don't thank me.
10:54I don't want Victor to win either.
11:01You are incredible tonight.
11:04You're not as unbearable as I thought.
11:10If you kiss him tonight, you'll never learn the truth about your mother's death.
11:15Who was that?
11:16Spam call.
11:21You've been married this long and still sit farther apart than strangers.
11:25If you want to fool anyone, fool me first.
11:28Grandmother, we're fine.
11:29Fine?
11:30You look at her like you're negotiating an acquisition.
11:34I insist.
11:35You will make it together.
11:39Don't tell me you can't cook.
11:40I hire people who can.
11:42Congratulations.
11:43Tonight, you're on the payroll.
11:46Now, you peel the apples, I'll get the sugar, and we need to preheat the oven.
11:51Did you make this a lot as a kid?
11:53My mother did.
11:54She used to say sweet things, help people remember home.
11:56You miss her?
11:58I don't even know what she really went through.
12:00You miss her.
12:05What is it?
12:07Nothing.
12:07Just a work message.
12:11Ivy.
12:13Yeah?
12:14If one day you decide to tell the truth, tell me.
12:24Don't wait too long.
12:26Don't wait too long.
12:26The truth won't wait for you.
12:33You're investigating my father?
12:41You're investigating my father.
12:46I'm investigating my mother.
12:48I'm investigating my mother.
12:50Don't play word games.
12:52You traced your way into the Windsons, into the old fire, into my father, and I'm supposed to call that
12:56a coincidence?
12:57What do you want to hear? That all of this was just to marry you?
13:01I want the truth.
13:05My mother's last project was tied to your family.
13:09She wasn't just a consultant.
13:11She was pulled into your secrets.
13:15So you got close to me to investigate?
13:17At first, yes.
13:20So our marriage was just another move in your plan.
13:23And you?
13:24Didn't you marry me for your inheritance?
13:27What gives you the right to judge me?
13:31At least I never planned to use your feelings.
13:34How do you know I did?
13:35From today on, you don't touch another family file without my permission.
13:38You still don't trust me.
13:41Mom, who am I supposed to trust now?
13:45I can distrust anyone, but somehow I still want you not to lie to me.
13:55Mrs. Wellington, I hear you're very smart.
13:58That must mean you drink well too, right?
14:02It's just a few drinks.
14:03Surely you won't refuse such a small courtesy?
14:07I'll drink for her.
14:08Mr. Alexander, that's not how this works.
14:10In my house, it is.
14:21That's enough.
14:22I told you.
14:23I won't let them touch you.
14:32You don't have to take care of me.
14:34Be quiet. Open your mouth.
14:41Do you take care of everyone like this?
14:45Not everyone deserves it.
14:46Not everyone does it.
15:05Don't let me lose you.
15:07Billionaire ear.
15:08Low-level Mary Tork-Hip-Hip.
15:10Bedroom photos for foes, her rise.
15:13This isn't a fairy tale.
15:15It's social ambition in disguise.
15:23Who let the press in?
15:25Public figures have to face public scrutiny, don't they?
15:32So it was you.
15:34If you've done nothing wrong, why be afraid of a camera?
15:38At a time like this, it's best to lie low and avoid provoking the press.
15:42You're not doing this alone.
15:44Did you marry into the Winsons for money?
15:46Do you even deserve to be Mrs. Winsons?
15:47If caring for a patient and staying by my husband's side all night counts as manipulation,
15:50then your definition of dignity is embarrassingly cheap.
15:53As for my background, I've never been ashamed of it.
15:55What's shameful is hiding behind anonymous cameras and tearing others down just to feel important.
16:00She didn't stay by my side because of any photo.
16:03She is my wife and this marriage was my choice.
16:09Do you realize what you just did?
16:12For the first time I did something that wasn't a transaction.
16:26Someone is launching a hostile takeover.
16:30These shell companies look like Victor's work.
16:34I'm only here to remind you all markets don't care about family.
16:39So you're finally done pretending.
16:42If you can't protect Winsor Group, perhaps someone else should.
16:49Ivy, what you're missing isn't strategy. It's time.
16:53You can tell that too.
16:57These people would never take my call.
16:59Not necessarily.
17:06Buy me 48 hours.
17:15They're giving us time. At least two days.
17:23Did you do this?
17:26Save the company first. Ask the rest later.
17:34Looks like our dear Mrs. Wellington is far more connected than she appears.
17:43These funds never hand out favors unless the person asking is part of the rules themselves.
17:50So who the hell are you?
17:52So?
17:54Who I am isn't the point.
17:56Then what is the point?
17:58You know things you shouldn't, move in circles you shouldn't, and now you want me to believe that doesn't matter?
18:03What matters is that I have never hurt you.
18:09Am I interrupting a marital heart to Harst?
18:11I just wanted to remind you that no ordinary nursing graduate understands this level of capital maneuvering,
18:16unless she's been lying from the start.
18:18You seem very eager to muddy the water.
18:20I'm only worried for Alexander. Marry the wrong woman and the price may be the entire Windsor Empire.
18:26Yes.
18:27I've hidden a lot.
18:30But I never lied about the one thing that matters most.
18:34I'm on your side.
18:39What scares you now isn't that she lied, it's that you're starting to believe her.
18:58You shouldn't have come in person. Too many eyes are on you now.
19:07I don't need suspicion. I need something that can bury him.
19:10You're becoming more and more like your mother.
19:17One more thing. Your mother wasn't alone back then. Someone else was trying to protect her.
19:24Who?
19:25Not yet. I don't have the full name.
19:27Not yet.
19:40Sorry to interrupt me.
19:41Are you insane?
19:42Meeting people like this alone?
19:44You should not belehemhuddnt!
19:47You followed me?
19:52What if I hadn't?
19:54I have reasons I can't tell you.
19:56Then don't.
19:57Don't say anything right now.
20:15How touching.
20:17Apparently a kiss solves every Winson crisis now.
20:22Still more dignified than living off stalking and gossip.
20:27Looks like I no longer need to worry you two behave like business partners.
20:32Starting today, you have full access to my office and private records.
20:37You trust me now?
20:40I don't know if this is trust.
20:44But I do know I don't want to keep shutting you out.
20:49She doesn't need anyone's permission to sit where she belongs.
20:53She's beginning to hesitate.
20:55Perfect.
20:56The more she hesitates, the harder she'll fall.
21:13I know you care for her, Alex.
21:15I didn't want to believe it either.
21:16But if she was planted here by Crown Group, everything suddenly makes sense.
21:19Think about it.
21:21Maybe she didn't save you because she loves you.
21:23Maybe she saved you so she could control you.
21:24Maybe she's been playing you this entire time.
21:27What exactly do you want to explain?
21:29Elena, these are edited.
21:31But you did meet that man.
21:32And you did contact Crown people.
21:34That part is true.
21:35Elena, I met him to investigate my mother.
21:37Your mother again.
21:38Every time you hide something, it's because of your mother.
21:41Because it's the one truth I cannot lose.
21:44And what am I?
21:45Your cover?
21:46Your access pass?
21:55Tell me, did you come to me with a mission from the very beginning?
22:00Yes.
22:04But later it wasn't.
22:23It has been confirmed that Ivy did not enter the Winson household as merely a nursing graduate.
22:28Her mother, Elena Hart, was directly tied to the old Winson project known as Crown.
22:34Why don't you tell everyone yourself who you really are?
22:39Yes.
22:40My last name is Hart.
22:42So you've been lying to all of us from the very start!
22:44I hid my identity.
22:48Just your identity?
22:50What answer do you want?
22:57I want to know if there was ever a single day you weren't using me.
23:01I used that identity to enter the Winson's.
23:04But I did not use the fact that I fell in love with you.
23:08Love?
23:09How convenient.
23:12Leave this house.
23:14What?
23:15I said leave Winson Manor.
23:18Now.
23:19If I walk out that door, you'll regret it.
23:22Then that will be my burden.
23:28Ivy.
23:34Looks like Cinderella's midnight is over.
23:39You'd better pray this is really the end.
23:42You've already been thrown out.
23:45What exactly can you do now?
23:48I never wanted it to come to this.
23:50I bet my mother heard that exact line from you too.
23:58Don't let her leave!
24:06Mom.
24:06Mom, I lost again.
24:11Now it's finally over.
24:26Miss, we're here to take you home.
24:33Open the door.
24:36Please welcome Crown Group's new heiress, Miss Ivy Hart!
24:49Impossible.
24:53Miss Ivy, when you married into the Windsor family, was it for love or revenge?
24:58At first, I was searching for the truth behind my mother's death.
25:02But later, I gave something I was never supposed to give.
25:05You mean your heart?
25:07Starting today, I will never again explain my worth to anyone.
25:26We've reconstructed every financial trail from the two years before and after Elena Hart's death.
25:33Victor had several major financial black holes in the early years, and they align almost perfectly with the timing of
25:38the original Crown Project share transfers.
25:40I don't want alignment.
25:41I want the full chain.
25:42One more thing.
25:43Parts of the waiver your mother signed may not have been voluntary.
25:45Pressure analysis suggests she was under normal physical stress when she signed.
25:48The possibility that her mother was forced to give up her stock.
25:51Tell me whether this code comes from our internal legal system.
25:54Yes.
25:55And it's from the old authorization branch.
25:58Only people tied to Victor's old line still use it.
26:01We just kind of chain them.
26:02So, would you ever bet it?
26:06We recovered a piece of audio from the old storage vault.
26:13Make Elena sign, or she won't live to see tomorrow.
26:22Stop.
26:26So, she wasn't just framed.
26:28She was forced to take the fall for Victor.
26:32Now you finally understand.
26:37Those files were your setup?
26:40You're asking now?
26:42Isn't it a little late?
26:44I checked everything.
26:46You used my doubt against her and turned me into your sharpest weapon.
26:49No.
26:50You chose that yourself.
26:52You never believed her because deep down, you looked down on her.
26:55You would rather trust a Windsor elder than the woman beside you.
26:59We've confirmed Victor began circulating edited fake evidence two weeks before you were thrown out of the manor.
27:04And one more thing.
27:05Alexander has been digging into all this in secret, obsessively.
27:11That's his business.
27:15I hid my identity, but I did not use the fact that I fell in love with you.
27:19I regret not believing you then.
27:21Now, every time I think about it, it's like being stabbed with a born knife.
27:25I found out the truth.
27:26The evidence was fake.
27:28The footage was edited.
27:29The emails were forged.
27:30Victor set you up from the start.
27:31And he set me up too.
27:33So?
27:33So I was wrong.
27:34I should have trusted you.
27:36I should never have treated you like that in front of everyone.
27:38I should never have left you to carry it alone.
27:39Alexander, you didn't just make a mistake today.
27:41Your real mistake was this.
27:42When the moment came to choose a side, you chose against me.
27:43The moment you chose to believe him.
27:45Mr. Lector is gathering shareholders tonight and plans to trigger a special board meeting tomorrow morning.
27:47You want redemption?
27:48Then start by dragging Victor to hell.
27:50Miss Ivy, are you deliberately cutting off Windsor Group's financing?
27:51Some say you're using revenge as an excuse for a hostile attack.
27:53Is that true?
27:54I'm simply correcting an account that should have been settled long ago.
27:57Any profit built on forgery, embezzlement, and coercion is not capital strategy.
28:00It's thief.
28:01We've successfully blocked two of Victor's offshore credit lines.
28:03A third bank is now reviewing his collateral eligibility.
28:05Not enough.
28:05By tomorrow morning, I want him unable to maintain the appearance of stability.
28:09What a transformation, Ivy.
28:11From a pathetic woman thrown out of the house to a high and mighty heiress.
28:14Too bad no amount of glamour can cover your mother's disgrace.
28:16I think it's time I refresh everyone's memory with some old photos of your mother.
28:19Starting with this.
28:20Is this what you wanted to release?
28:22Too bad.
28:22I obtained the complete version before you did.
28:25It includes not only witness testimony, but also the list of people who tried to spread the lie.
28:30Your father's name is on the first page.
28:33Fake, isn't it?
28:35You think this means you've won?
28:36Alexander still threw you out, didn't he?
28:38He never really believed you!
28:39Elena.
28:40Exactly.
28:41Which is why I no longer need him to prove who I am.
28:44Alexander!
28:45Enough!
28:45You and your father will pay for everything you owe her.
28:47Try this again, and you won't even have the right to stand in front of her.
28:50I don't need anyone to protect me.
28:52Bad news.
28:53Victor just leakered an internal notice saying the matriarch's critical condition has been submitted to the family trust committee.
28:57He plans to use it to force the board tomorrow.
29:00Now do you get it? Tomorrow isn't just about who wins. It's whether Grandmother survives long enough to see the
29:04vote!
29:19Where is the original?
29:20This copy proves the original existed, but the recording is what can truly seal it.
29:24Anybody interstit forced me to sign a waiver. He said if I took the blame for the financial irregularities, he
29:28would keep my child safe.
29:29You have no choice.
29:29The original is in the old vault at Windsor Manor, on the third level.
29:33So she wasn't just framed. She was forced to take the fall for Victor.
29:36Now you finally understand.
29:37I'll open the vault. I'm the only one with the access authority.
29:40So, it really was him.
29:43Elena came to see me back then.
29:44She said she had something that could save the company, or destroy it.
29:48I didn't see her. I thought she only wanted money.
29:51I let Victor grow too powerful.
29:54I failed to investigate sooner. I failed your mother.
29:59She needs less stress immediately.
30:02We found the lead, but there's a problem.
30:03The hidden compartment on the third level of the old manor vault has already been open tonight.
30:07Who did it?
30:08Natasha. Surveillance shows she entered the vault area half an hour ago.
30:21I'm sorry.
30:22One apology won't bring back my mother, and it won't erase the moment you cast me aside in front of
30:27everyone.
30:27I know. I'm not here asking for instant forgiveness.
30:31I'm here to tell you that this time, no matter the cost, I stand with you.
30:34How is grandmother? Oh my god, I came as soon as I heard.
30:38You were in the old vault last night.
30:40So what? Do I need your permission to enter my own home?
30:46Where are the materials from the third compartment?
30:51I have no idea what you're talking about.
30:53Even if I took something, so what? Can you prove it was yours?
30:56If anything happens to grandmother today, neither you nor Victor will walk away clean.
31:01She's stable for now, but she is asking to see Ivy and Alexander.
31:04Now.
31:05There's no time left.
31:06This authorization can freeze the inheritance vote of the special board for 12 hours.
31:09If you work together, you still have a chance to complete the evidence chain.
31:11Urgent update. Victor, Victor, we've seven clients.
31:13The board vote has been moved up from 9 a.m. We'll pay for it.
31:15I agree with you.
31:16I agree with you.
31:16We are allies, nothing more.
31:17I handle the money trail, old case evidence, and external media.
31:19The first one to go soft loses.
31:20Of the seven key shareholders, three are opportunists, two are tied to Victor by offshore guarantees,
31:24and the last two only care about who wins.
31:26We break the financing first, then their confidence.
31:28Before one in the morning, I want them to see Victor isn't winning, he's sinking.
31:30We've frozen one backup credit line, but we still need the final blow.
31:32If we get the original shareholding document, the state court can intervene before the vote.
31:35She used a safe apartment under a friend's name, but her phone signal only showed for three minutes.
31:40Our team is already moving in.
31:42I got it.
31:44You promised me that if I gave it to you, you'd take me out of New York.
31:47Of course, sweetheart.
31:49Send me the address first.
31:50After we deal with the evidence, do we take care of her too?
31:53What did you say?
31:54You heard wrong.
31:55Send the address.
31:58Natasha, open the door.
32:01One step later, and I won't be the one coming for you.
32:03You're here to take it from me?
32:04No.
32:05We're here to give you one last chance to choose a side.
32:08Why should I trust you?
32:09Because Victor is ready to erase you too.
32:12She's a loose end.
32:14If I hand you the file, I'm finished.
32:16You don't hand it over, you're finished tonight.
32:17Hand it over, and I'll get you into witness protection.
32:20Victor's men are here.
32:20Four of them, armed.
32:22Take it.
32:23Just take it.
32:24Where's the chip?
32:25Upstairs.
32:25Victor's men took the smaller pouch.
32:27We tracked a vehicle heading towards the Brooklyn docks.
32:35Are you insane?
32:38As long as it's not destroyed, that's enough.
32:43Given the matriarch's unstable condition, the group cannot remain in a power vacuum.
32:47Under the will's enforcement clause, if Alexander fails to stabilize the family and market confidence,
32:51the board must make a new choice.
32:52Where is Alexander?
32:53Perhaps he already understands that being here today won't change the outcome.
32:58You have no right to interrupt this board meeting.
33:02With this, we do.
33:08A copy means nothing!
33:10It's not enough to overturn the board!
33:12What about this?
33:14Victor forced me to sign a waiver.
33:15He said if I took the blame for the financial misconduct, he would keep my child and me safe.
33:19You have no choice.
33:19Sign it.
33:20It will be better for everyone.
33:21I, Alexander Willington, as current heir and board member, formally moved to suspend this vote
33:24and initiate both criminal and civil proceedings against Victor Willington.
33:26You think a woman in one damaged recording can destroy me?
33:29Enough.
33:30Today I will cast this vote myself.
33:32Mother, you shouldn't be here.
33:33My greatest mistake was letting you sit too long.
33:35Under family special authorization and supplemental clause,
33:37Victor Wilson is stripped of temporary former taxi authority and placed a need on the pre-vote review.
33:40We have a problem accusing Crown Group of unlawfully interfering in the Winson board.
33:43Regulators are on their way up.
33:44We received an anonymous complaint alleging that Crown Group unlawfully influenced the Winson group board vote through undisclosed channels.
33:49All related parties are required to cooperate immediately.
33:51Do you see now?
33:51She's not here for justice.
33:52She's here to swallow Winson whole.
33:54I can testify that Crown Group did not minigure key evidence came from an internal Winson review
33:57in an old case investigation authorized by me personally.
33:59Then why did Miss Ivy use capital leverage to cut off Victor's financing before the vote?
34:02Because I was not acting as Crown's heiress to help Windsor.
34:05I was acting as the daughter of a victim to stop a man who rose through forged equity, asset diversion,
34:08and witness exposure move.
34:09It was a market reaction after witness exposure.
34:11Even so, this board will never hand control to someone who just dragged the family through mud.
34:14The one who dragged this family through the mud is not her.
34:18It's you.
34:19She merely lifted the lid.
34:21I withdraw my support for Victor.
34:22So do I.
34:23And I.
34:26Say something!
34:27Tell them those documents are fake!
34:28I'm your father!
34:29They're not fake.
34:30I took the file from the vault.
34:32I took the audio chip, too.
34:34You told me that if I helped you, you'd take me with you.
34:37But in the end, you wanted me erased as well.
34:41I helped you finish Wenzin's war.
34:43Our marriage ends here.
34:47Ivy.
34:50Her blood pressure is crashing!
34:52Prepare emergency response now!
34:55We brought her back for now.
34:57But she doesn't have much time.
34:59And she insists on seeing both of you.
35:01The two of you.
35:02One too proud, the other too stubborn.
35:04I forced this marriage for the family.
35:06Later, when I saw you two fall for each other, I thought,
35:09perhaps something good could still grow from a bad beginning.
35:11You always wanted to win, even with the person you love.
35:13You tried to control and doubt your way through love.
35:14But the things that truly matter, once you let go, you don't simply get them back by wanting them.
35:17I know.
35:18Child, I have no right to plead for anyone.
35:19Alexander, don't wait.
35:22If you're here to ask me to take back the divorce papers, don't.
35:27Ivy.
35:28The first time I married you, it was because of a will, duty, and my own arrogance.
35:32That was not a proposal.
35:34It was a transaction.
35:36So now I'm doing this again.
35:37No contract, no conditions, no bargain.
35:39You can reject me.
35:39You can refuse to forgive me.
35:40You can make me wait for a long time, even forever.
35:42But I still need to say this.
35:43I love you.
35:44Not because you can save Winsor.
35:45Not because you're anyone's heiress after once you left.
35:47Not because I only earned in your value, I meant nothing you.
35:48Ivy, would you give me a chance at a beginning with no conditions?
35:53We have a problem.
35:54The state prosecutor just announced they're reopening the related homicide investigation from 20 years ago.
35:58Besides Victor, there's another name on the file.
36:01Who?
36:02The matriarch.
36:03The matriarch.
