00:00:00Choose one to be your mate.
00:00:02None of them. I choose Damon, the crippled Alpha.
00:00:05I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:00:08Yet, I was born a female Alpha,
00:00:12who couldn't even maintain a stable wolf form.
00:00:15I spent 10 years chasing after Kaylin Stone,
00:00:18until one day, standing outside his bedroom door,
00:00:21I heard him swear to Vivian Moss.
00:00:23I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:00:25You're the only one I want.
00:00:27The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived,
00:00:29when a servant screamed,
00:00:31Help! Vivian is missing!
00:00:32Then she appeared, crying, running.
00:00:36It was Lyra. She had me taken.
00:00:38My head snapped to the side.
00:00:40Silence swallowed the entire hall.
00:00:43Then he looked at me.
00:00:44I will never mark someone like you.
00:00:46Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate.
00:00:49If everything comes down to power and survival,
00:00:51then I choose strength, not sentiment.
00:00:53Choose one to be your mate.
00:00:55One of these potential Alpha candidates
00:00:57will become the next Alpha of our pack.
00:01:00None of them.
00:01:02I choose Daemon.
00:01:04The crippled Alpha.
00:01:06I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:01:10Yet, I was born a female Alpha.
00:01:13Everyone said that the five orphans my father brought back from the battlefield
00:01:16were the true future of the pack.
00:01:19He raised them into the most admired beta warriors in Iron Moon.
00:01:23As for me,
00:01:24I was nothing more than a pretty heir with noble blood
00:01:27who couldn't even maintain a stable wolf form.
00:01:30And as far as those five were concerned,
00:01:32I barely existed.
00:01:34I spent ten years chasing after Caelan Stone,
00:01:37only to earn countless looks of disdain in return.
00:01:40I used to think he treated all women that way.
00:01:43Until one day,
00:01:44standing outside his bedroom door,
00:01:46I heard him swear to Vivian Moss.
00:01:48I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:01:51You're the only mate I want.
00:01:53Maybe I'll go.
00:01:55Those words shattered everything I had believed in for the past ten years.
00:02:00On the eve of the Elders' Council meeting,
00:02:02my father asked me who I wanted to choose.
00:02:05I thought of the way all five of them avoided my gaze.
00:02:08If I'm getting married,
00:02:09I might as well make it strategic.
00:02:11I choose Daemon Bloodfing of the Bloodfill Pack.
00:02:14Daemon was poisoned by silver five years ago.
00:02:17His legs were left paralyzed,
00:02:18and rumors say he can't even complete a mating mark anymore.
00:02:21Are you sure?
00:02:23Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate.
00:02:26If everything comes down to power and survival,
00:02:28then I choose strength,
00:02:30not sentiment.
00:02:31Daemon may be crippled,
00:02:32but his bloodline, his pack, and his warriors
00:02:34still outweigh those five men combined.
00:02:36My father's expression darkened.
00:02:38You say that so easily,
00:02:39but are you telling me
00:02:41none of the five boys I raised for you ever caught your attention?
00:02:44My mother had been my father's only mate.
00:02:47She died the year I was born.
00:02:48A rogue attack.
00:02:50Too much blood loss.
00:02:51No second chance.
00:02:52After that,
00:02:53he never took another mate.
00:02:55But he also never fully believed
00:02:57a female alpha could carry Iron Moon alone.
00:02:59So he followed the council's recommendation.
00:03:01He brought back five orphaned boys from the battlefield
00:03:04and raised them inside Iron Moon.
00:03:06He made one rule from the beginning.
00:03:08No matter who I chose,
00:03:10that man would be granted alpha status,
00:03:13meant to rule beside me,
00:03:14not beneath me.
00:03:15That was his compromise.
00:03:17Love me fiercely,
00:03:18and still not trust me enough to do it alone.
00:03:21I met his gaze.
00:03:22My bond with Daemon Bloodbold doesn't require sentiment.
00:03:25It only requires succession.
00:03:27He is the sole heir of Bloodbold
00:03:29that makes him more valuable
00:03:31than any arranged foster alliance you built here.
00:03:34Compared to relying on adopted sons
00:03:36to stabilize Iron Moon,
00:03:37an alliance with a true power pack
00:03:39is simply the rational choice.
00:03:41Silence stretched between us.
00:03:44If none of them were able to hold your attention,
00:03:46then there is no reason to keep them in Iron Moon.
00:03:49We left the council hall together.
00:03:51My father cast Caelan a brief,
00:03:53unreadable glance before walking out.
00:03:57What did you report this time?
00:04:01Let me guess.
00:04:02She ran to Alpha again
00:04:03because we didn't treat her like royalty.
00:04:06Princess Lyra didn't get enough attention,
00:04:08so she needed to complain?
00:04:10Orion and Riven followed with quiet snorts,
00:04:13barely even trying to hide it.
00:04:14Five voices,
00:04:16one direction,
00:04:17all aimed at me,
00:04:18like a wall closing in.
00:04:20If none of you want to mark me,
00:04:22why hasn't a single one of you
00:04:23ever told my father directly?
00:04:25My father didn't force bonds.
00:04:27He never had.
00:04:28One clear refusal would have been enough.
00:04:30He would have released them
00:04:31with wealth and freedom
00:04:32and never looked back.
00:04:34But none of them ever said it.
00:04:36Not once.
00:04:37Because none of them
00:04:38actually wanted to leave the Iron Moon pack.
00:04:40Not the future it promised.
00:04:42Stop dressing it up.
00:04:44We're just fostered wolves
00:04:45living in Iron Moon.
00:04:47What choice do you think we actually have?
00:04:49Just pick me if you're going to pick anyone.
00:04:51Don't drag them into your mess.
00:04:53For a second,
00:04:54the others went quiet,
00:04:55almost moved,
00:04:56like he was taking the burden of sacrifice
00:04:58onto himself.
00:04:59But all I felt was a slow,
00:05:01bitter weight settling in my chest.
00:05:04Nothing else.
00:05:05Then, Vivian showed up.
00:05:06The moment her eyes landed on me,
00:05:09she shifted back, instinctively,
00:05:11and slipped behind Caelan.
00:05:13She didn't do anything.
00:05:14Drop it for today.
00:05:17I stared at them.
00:05:19Five men.
00:05:20The same five who were supposed to stand behind me.
00:05:23Now all of them stood in front of her,
00:05:26protecting her from me.
00:05:27Something in my memory snapped open.
00:05:30One year ago,
00:05:31not long after Vivian arrived at Iron Moon.
00:05:33That night,
00:05:34I carried healing broth to Caelan's quarters.
00:05:36He'd been injured during border patrol.
00:05:38He told me not to come.
00:05:40I still did.
00:05:41His door wasn't fully shut.
00:05:44Caelan,
00:05:45are you really
00:05:45going to mark Lyra?
00:05:48My hand froze on the doorframe.
00:05:51No.
00:05:52I won't mark her.
00:05:54My chest tightened
00:05:55before I even understood why.
00:05:57Then why
00:05:57did you agree
00:05:59to Alpha Ronan?
00:06:00Because
00:06:01that's the only way
00:06:02I can become
00:06:03Alpha
00:06:03of Iron Moon.
00:06:05And
00:06:05Lyra,
00:06:06she's just stepping stone.
00:06:08Once
00:06:08I take control,
00:06:10I'll send her
00:06:10away.
00:06:13Then what about me?
00:06:16You?
00:06:17You're the only one I want.
00:06:19Once I take Alpha,
00:06:21I'll mark you publicly.
00:06:22You'll be my Luna.
00:06:26She can't even shift right.
00:06:29Luna?
00:06:29Seriously?
00:06:32She's only valuable
00:06:33because of her bloodline.
00:06:35Nothing else.
00:06:38Does she actually believe
00:06:39we'd choose her
00:06:42when she finds out
00:06:44she's going to break?
00:06:47Like it was already decided.
00:06:48Then you won't
00:06:50lie to me,
00:06:52right?
00:06:53I swear.
00:06:55Only you.
00:06:57The bowl slipped
00:06:58from my hands.
00:06:59It hit the ground
00:07:00and shattered.
00:07:03Who's there?
00:07:04I moved into the shadow
00:07:06beside the doorway
00:07:06and held my breath.
00:07:08Kaelin stepped out.
00:07:09His eyes dropped
00:07:10to the broken bowl.
00:07:12A cat.
00:07:14I stayed where I was.
00:07:15Didn't speak.
00:07:16Didn't cry.
00:07:17Didn't make a sound.
00:07:19Only when the silence settled
00:07:20did I step back.
00:07:21Into the moonlight.
00:07:23It spilled across my face
00:07:24like something too clean
00:07:25for what I was feeling.
00:07:29The next morning
00:07:30I met Vivian in the garden.
00:07:31She was holding
00:07:32a bowl of flower essence,
00:07:33smiling like she had
00:07:34been waiting for me.
00:07:36Good morning, Lyra.
00:07:38Sleep well?
00:07:40Now there was ease
00:07:41in her expression.
00:07:42Confidence.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:44She paused
00:07:45just for a second.
00:07:47Lyra,
00:07:47this was my mother's.
00:07:49I wanted you to have it.
00:07:51Thank you
00:07:51for everything
00:07:53you've done for me.
00:07:53Before I could respond,
00:07:55Kaelin appeared.
00:07:57You're seriously
00:07:58taking her mother's relic?
00:08:00Now?
00:08:01I froze.
00:08:02Vivian dropped instantly,
00:08:04knees to the ground,
00:08:06It wasn't Lyra.
00:08:08I gave it to her.
00:08:10Please,
00:08:10don't blame her.
00:08:11She slammed her forehead
00:08:12into the ground,
00:08:13again.
00:08:14Blood showed
00:08:15almost immediately.
00:08:16Merrick arrived first,
00:08:17then Corbin,
00:08:18Orion,
00:08:19Riven.
00:08:20Lyra!
00:08:21Enough!
00:08:22You're the heir,
00:08:24not a bully.
00:08:25You have everything,
00:08:26and you still take
00:08:28the only thing she has?
00:08:30Riven drew his dagger
00:08:31in one smooth motion.
00:08:33Apologize.
00:08:34An alpha heir boxed in
00:08:35on all sides.
00:08:37They weren't asking.
00:08:38They were pressing me down,
00:08:39forcing submission,
00:08:41forcing my neck exposed
00:08:42to an Omega
00:08:43who was clearly playing a game
00:08:45they refused to see.
00:08:47Vivian kept her head lowered,
00:08:48but I caught it anyway,
00:08:49that small,
00:08:50satisfied curve
00:08:51at the corner of her mouth.
00:08:53I didn't fight back,
00:08:54because somewhere deep down,
00:08:56there was still a stupid,
00:08:57fragile part of me
00:08:58that waited.
00:08:59Maybe Kalen would step in.
00:09:01Maybe he'd say,
00:09:02this doesn't add up.
00:09:03He didn't.
00:09:05Apologize,
00:09:06or I don't mark you.
00:09:09That line landed harder
00:09:10than anything else,
00:09:11because I had already given him
00:09:13everything I had in me.
00:09:15I couldn't afford to lose him.
00:09:16Not then.
00:09:17So I lowered my head.
00:09:19My throat burned
00:09:20as I exposed my neck.
00:09:21I'm sorry.
00:09:22And that moment,
00:09:23that single submission,
00:09:25lasted a year.
00:09:27After that day,
00:09:28Vivian changed
00:09:29how she moved around me,
00:09:30like I was something dangerous.
00:09:32Sometimes she dropped to her knees
00:09:33the moment she saw me.
00:09:34Sometimes she hid behind
00:09:36the five of them,
00:09:37shaking,
00:09:37crying on cue.
00:09:38And I did nothing.
00:09:40Once,
00:09:40she tripped in the garden,
00:09:42a shallow scrape on her knee.
00:09:43Nothing serious.
00:09:44But she ran straight to Kalen
00:09:46in tears,
00:09:47claiming I had pushed her.
00:09:48No questions asked.
00:09:50All five of them came for me.
00:09:52They tore through my quarters
00:09:53like a storm.
00:09:54Everything broken.
00:09:55Everything scattered.
00:09:56If you touch her again,
00:09:58break our wolf legs myself.
00:10:00I almost laughed.
00:10:01Wolf legs.
00:10:02I couldn't even shift properly.
00:10:04But it didn't matter.
00:10:05They believed her.
00:10:07Always her.
00:10:08The memory snapped back
00:10:09like a pulled thread.
00:10:11Vivian was still behind Kalen now,
00:10:13smiling faintly,
00:10:14like she had already won something
00:10:16no one else could see.
00:10:17If you're that afraid,
00:10:18I'll hurt her.
00:10:19You might as well leash her to your side.
00:10:21Are you threatening me?
00:10:23What are you planning to do to her?
00:10:26Let me guess.
00:10:27Now that we gave Vivian a Starfall Sanctum,
00:10:29you're finally snapping?
00:10:30You already have everything.
00:10:32And she has nothing.
00:10:33It's just Starfall Sanctum.
00:10:36Why are you acting like this is some tragedy?
00:10:38My gaze sharpened.
00:10:40Starfall Sanctum?
00:10:41Starfall Sanctum wasn't just a place.
00:10:43It was a buried lunar basin
00:10:45deep under Iron Moon territory.
00:10:46When it hit the sacred waters,
00:10:48it refracted into something
00:10:49that looked like a galaxy
00:10:50trapped underground.
00:10:51My father spent 18 years building it.
00:10:55For me.
00:10:56A coming-of-age gift.
00:10:57Half a year ago,
00:10:58as it neared completion,
00:11:00he handed oversight to Kalen.
00:11:02He was supposed to present it to me
00:11:03on my ceremony day.
00:11:05Instead,
00:11:05it never reached me.
00:11:07It went to Vivian.
00:11:08My eyes locked on Kalen.
00:11:10He was the one who controlled final access.
00:11:12No one entered without his approval.
00:11:15Vivian grew up on the outskirts of the pack.
00:11:17She's never seen a real night sky.
00:11:18I gave her a moment.
00:11:21That's all.
00:11:22The Sanctum is still yours on paper.
00:11:26Don't turn this into something it isn't.
00:11:28And stop making a scene.
00:11:30If it comes to it,
00:11:31I'll announce our mating bond
00:11:32at your coming-of-age ceremony next month.
00:11:34That should satisfy you enough.
00:11:36Right?
00:11:37The way Kalen looked at me,
00:11:39calm,
00:11:40almost magnanimous,
00:11:42made...
00:11:42made something cold twist in my chest.
00:11:45For a second,
00:11:46I almost wondered if I was the one
00:11:48who didn't belong here.
00:11:50If anything,
00:11:51they looked at him like he was making
00:11:52some kind of noble sacrifice.
00:11:55You really don't have to go this far.
00:11:57Lyra's spoiled.
00:11:58Ruthless.
00:11:59Marking her is no different than marking...
00:12:02a stone.
00:12:03At least you'll finally get
00:12:04what she's been chasing for years.
00:12:06Kalen,
00:12:07don't do this for me.
00:12:08If it helps,
00:12:09I'll kneel to her.
00:12:10I'll beg.
00:12:11I'll do anything she wants.
00:12:13I swallowed once.
00:12:14Hard.
00:12:15I won't choose you.
00:12:16Kalen's brow lifted slightly,
00:12:18like he was still deciding
00:12:19whether I was serious.
00:12:21Merrick and Corbin exchanged a look,
00:12:22like they were more afraid
00:12:24I'd choose them instead.
00:12:25That alone hit something deep in my chest.
00:12:28Ten years.
00:12:29Standing behind them.
00:12:30And still,
00:12:31I was the only one
00:12:32treated like I didn't belong
00:12:33in the same space.
00:12:34I turned to leave.
00:12:36Vivian caught my wrist.
00:12:37Then she dropped instantly.
00:12:39Knees to the ground.
00:12:40Head lowered.
00:12:41Please,
00:12:42don't make this harder for Kalen.
00:12:44The five of them
00:12:45were brought into Iron Moon.
00:12:46They were never equal to begin with.
00:12:48If you're going to report this
00:12:49over Starfall Sanctuary,
00:12:51I'll apologize.
00:12:52I'll do whatever you want.
00:12:54Then she started bowing.
00:12:56Fast.
00:12:57Hard.
00:12:57Her forehead hit the ground
00:12:59until blood appeared.
00:13:00Kalen moved immediately.
00:13:02He pulled her up,
00:13:03jaw tight.
00:13:04So you say you won't choose me.
00:13:06But when the time comes,
00:13:07don't change your mind.
00:13:09This whole thing,
00:13:11you're just trying to
00:13:12pressure her indirectly.
00:13:13You just want an excuse
00:13:15to report her
00:13:15and force her out,
00:13:16don't you?
00:13:17I don't care what you think.
00:13:18I won't choose you.
00:13:22Kalen grabbed my wrist.
00:13:24Hard.
00:13:24Not me?
00:13:25Then who?
00:13:27Marek?
00:13:28Corbin?
00:13:29Mark wants freedom.
00:13:30Corbin wants peace.
00:13:32Haven't you already
00:13:33taken enough from them?
00:13:34If you agree to stop
00:13:35targeting Vivian,
00:13:36I'll mark you.
00:13:39Just stop this.
00:13:41That's all I'm asking.
00:13:42For the first time,
00:13:43he looked exhausted.
00:13:44Like I had been the one
00:13:45wearing him down for years.
00:13:47I held his gaze
00:13:47for a long moment,
00:13:49then said quietly,
00:13:50Everything will go
00:13:51the way you want.
00:13:52He was afraid
00:13:53I'd hurt Vivian.
00:13:54He refused to mark me.
00:13:55Fine.
00:13:56Once I became
00:13:57Damon Bloodfang's mate,
00:13:58none of this would matter anyway.
00:14:00The day of my
00:14:01coming of age ceremony
00:14:02arrived.
00:14:02Iron Moon had been
00:14:04transformed.
00:14:05Everyone knew
00:14:06why they were here.
00:14:07Not just my 18th birthday.
00:14:09My mate declaration.
00:14:11And everyone
00:14:12already knew the outcome.
00:14:14Kalen Stone.
00:14:16Because I had chased him
00:14:17for 10 years.
00:14:19Because the entire pack
00:14:20had watched it happen.
00:14:22The five of them
00:14:22stood in the front row.
00:14:23Even the guests
00:14:25looked at them
00:14:26more than they looked at me.
00:14:27Like this ceremony
00:14:28belonged to them.
00:14:30I was about to
00:14:31shut down the whispers
00:14:32when a servant screamed.
00:14:34Help!
00:14:35Vivian is missing!
00:14:36There's a note!
00:14:37She's been kidnapped!
00:14:39The shift was immediate.
00:14:41Merrick moved first.
00:14:44Before I could even turn,
00:14:45my head snapped to the side.
00:14:48Silence swallowed
00:14:49the entire hall.
00:14:50The pain landed a beat
00:14:52too late.
00:14:53Around us,
00:14:54people scattered
00:14:55instinctively.
00:14:56Kalen grabbed Merrick's arm
00:14:58before he could swing again.
00:14:59Then he looked at me.
00:15:02We already stood here
00:15:03like you're choosing
00:15:04between us,
00:15:05like we're disposable.
00:15:06And it still isn't enough!
00:15:07His voice sharpened.
00:15:09Do you want her dead?
00:15:10I stared back at him.
00:15:12Corbin looked at me
00:15:12like I was something
00:15:13contaminated.
00:15:14You waited until
00:15:15she was alone
00:15:16and staged this.
00:15:17You really think
00:15:18we won't see through it?
00:15:19That's when it clicked.
00:15:20Not confusion.
00:15:21Clarity.
00:15:22Vivian had done this
00:15:24again.
00:15:25And this time,
00:15:26she'd done it
00:15:27in front of everyone.
00:15:28No one moved
00:15:29to intervene.
00:15:30Not after I was
00:15:31slapped in public.
00:15:33Not after I stood there
00:15:34bleeding pride.
00:15:35Because they had
00:15:36already made
00:15:37their decision.
00:15:38Iron Moon wasn't
00:15:40mine in their eyes.
00:15:41Apologize.
00:15:42He let out a short,
00:15:43humorless laugh.
00:15:45Vivian nearly
00:15:46lost her innocence
00:15:47and you're worried
00:15:48about a slap?
00:15:49Then she appeared.
00:15:51Crying.
00:15:51Running.
00:15:53Her dress torn.
00:15:54Dirt stained.
00:15:55Like she had barely
00:15:56escaped something
00:15:57violent.
00:15:59It was Lyra.
00:16:00She had me taken.
00:16:03She said she'd have
00:16:04rogue wolves
00:16:05to violate me.
00:16:07So I'd never come back.
00:16:09The hall detonated.
00:16:12Whispers turned
00:16:13into outrage.
00:16:13Shock into judgment.
00:16:16Kaelin didn't hesitate.
00:16:18He pulled his coat
00:16:19around her like she was
00:16:20something fragile
00:16:20and irreplaceable.
00:16:22Then he looked at me.
00:16:24You don't stop,
00:16:25do you?
00:16:25His voice dropped.
00:16:27I will never mark
00:16:28someone like you.
00:16:30The world below
00:16:31is a hundred times
00:16:33tougher than stone!
00:16:36That skinning knife
00:16:37of yours could never
00:16:38cut through the iron
00:16:39wall of the gods' will!
00:16:50I will never
00:16:50get used to
00:16:50I will never
00:16:53meet you.
00:16:53The moon
00:16:54is the
00:16:54L Koran.
00:16:54He's dead.
00:16:55the sky
00:16:57temperature.
00:16:57And now
00:16:57is the
00:17:00He's dead.
00:17:02He's dead.
00:17:20Everything has a weakness.
00:17:28Even the gods.
00:17:34I've lived for thousands of years, and this is the first time a mortal has defeated me.
00:17:39And you've only trained for a mere dozen years.
00:17:41Master, I'm going down the mountain. I need to find my birth parents.
00:17:45The world below is a mire of divine rule.
00:17:48You bear no spark of divinity, no blessing from the gods.
00:17:52Those self-proclaimed noble beings will never accept you.
00:17:55I don't want pity from Olympian.
00:17:57All I seek is the truth.
00:17:59Master, when I found you at the bottom of the Abyss Valley all those years ago,
00:18:03this ring was on you.
00:18:05Go, tear down those hypocritical figures perched high above all else.
00:18:14Agus was still holding back.
00:18:16Though he cannot wield divine power like those with a divine spark,
00:18:19he still carries the pure blood of a titan.
00:18:22Blood unseen in millennia.
00:18:23No one in this world will ever be able to defeat him.
00:18:33Father.
00:18:34Mother.
00:18:35How do I find you?
00:18:45Princess Ellara!
00:18:46There's nowhere left for you to run.
00:18:47Princess.
00:18:49You'd go so far as to wipe out the heirs of other bloodlines.
00:18:52For what?
00:18:53Just to force more people to serve the god of war?
00:18:55Your actions bring nothing but shame to Aerith.
00:18:58The Zeus you worship is powerless.
00:19:00Sparta's throne deserves a new ruler.
00:19:02Our leader!
00:19:07You're still here.
00:19:08You want to die or what?
00:19:09This is a feud between our houses.
00:19:11Don't rag an innocent bystander into it.
00:19:13Let him leave.
00:19:14Just a lowly Majerus.
00:19:15No one will care if he dies.
00:19:17Though you, princess,
00:19:19I've always wondered what it would be like to have you.
00:19:23I'll hold them off.
00:19:25Run while you can!
00:19:40Now it's your turn.
00:19:42Now it's your turn.
00:20:02Did you save me?
00:20:05Princess, you're awake.
00:20:07Those soldiers, the Eress Celits, did they hurt you?
00:20:11I...
00:20:11No.
00:20:12Thank the gods, but you are immortal.
00:20:16How were you able to rescue me from foes wielding a god's blessing?
00:20:21Remember this.
00:20:23The pure blood of a titan runs through your veins.
00:20:26Until you are strong enough to stand against Olympus,
00:20:30you must guard this knowledge.
00:20:32Otherwise, the gods will punch you down and destroy you.
00:20:40I've lived on Mount Pelia my whole life,
00:20:42since I was born without a divine spark.
00:20:44I worked as a ritual skinner at the temple for years.
00:20:46I'm far stronger and more agile than ordinary men.
00:20:49The chaos that broke out from the fight
00:20:51was enough to slip out with you unnoticed.
00:20:53I see.
00:20:54May the gods watch over you.
00:21:06We've never met before.
00:21:07So why do I feel such a strange sense of closeness to this princess?
00:21:11If father hadn't cast my younger brother into the abyss all those years ago,
00:21:14he would be about this tall now.
00:21:19Princess, where will you go next?
00:21:21Back to the royal palace in Sparta.
00:21:27Lord Zeus,
00:21:29if my child still walks this earth,
00:21:32please protect him and keep him safe.
00:21:35If punishment must fall,
00:21:38let it fall on me,
00:21:39this worthless mother.
00:21:43A god forsaken, outcast without a divine spark.
00:21:46Lycaon.
00:21:47He died in the abyss long ago.
00:21:50Why do you still grieve for him after all these years?
00:21:53Sparta prides itself on the gods' favor.
00:21:55If other city sheds learn,
00:21:57I fathered a useless son,
00:21:59lacking divine grace.
00:22:01How could I ever hold my head high as a ruler of Greece?
00:22:04My lord!
00:22:05Your majesty!
00:22:07Princess Elara has returned!
00:22:09Elara!
00:22:16Thank you for saving my daughter, young man.
00:22:18No need.
00:22:19I was just passing by, nothing more.
00:22:22A lowly temple, Majumas.
00:22:25Leaving his temple and coming to Sparta.
00:22:27What precisely brings you here?
00:22:29I'm searching for my birth parents.
00:22:32I don't know who they are.
00:22:35I only have this.
00:22:37I hope to find answers through this ring.
00:22:52My child,
00:22:53this ring holds fragments of Lock of Prometheus.
00:22:56It hides your aura.
00:22:59Grow up safe and sound, my little one.
00:23:03You've done well, Hecara.
00:23:07Let me feel the blessed radiance Olympus has bestowed upon our firstborn son.
00:23:18Not only has Zeus refused to bless him,
00:23:21he doesn't even have a divine spark!
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:25But Sparta will never tolerate such a godforsaken abomination.
00:23:28If word spreads, our city will be mocked and destroyed.
00:23:31Cast him into the abyss!
00:23:31Tell everyone the child died at birth!
00:23:33No!
00:23:33My baby!
00:23:34Wake on your body!
00:23:36No!
00:23:38This is the ring I used to seal as his era.
00:23:42My child.
00:23:43The son I thought lost to the abyss.
00:23:46He's alive.
00:23:56The son of Sparta owes you a debt.
00:23:58We shall aid you in your search for your birth family.
00:24:01Stay as our guest in the palace for a few days.
00:24:04Very well.
00:24:08The queen's reaction is far too strange the moment I showed the ring.
00:24:12Why do I feel such a pull towards her?
00:24:14Could it be she knows who I am?
00:24:18This ring holds fragments of Locke of Prometheus!
00:24:22I sealed them inside with my own hands.
00:24:25I could never be mistaken.
00:24:27He is the son we cast into the abyss.
00:24:30Why won't you let me acknowledge him?
00:24:32That Majakos?
00:24:34He's my brother?
00:24:35Silence!
00:24:36He was abandoned the moment he was born without a divine spark.
00:24:40Sparta prides self on being favored by the gods.
00:24:42If the deities and other city stage learn my son is not just a Megarius, but also lacks a divine
00:24:48spark,
00:24:49how could I uphold Sparta's rule and our family's reputation?
00:24:57Mark my words.
00:24:59No matter what happens, you will never acknowledge him.
00:25:02If you do, I'll charge you both for saccharinge and cast you out of Sparta forever!
00:25:19This sacred monument was carved from divine stone sent by none other than Zeus himself.
00:25:24In all of Greece, there has only been one warrior to have left his mark on its blessed surface.
00:25:28That was Athena's chosen.
00:25:30Timaeus!
00:25:32We should be praying to the gods for more power, instead of acting like certain lowly commoners.
00:25:42You lowly Megarius.
00:25:44What could you possibly know of battle?
00:25:47I only know how to flay carcasses, not fight.
00:25:51I thought as much.
00:25:53A mortal without so much as a trace of a divine spark.
00:25:57And Svoroas Nosh thinks himself grand just from skinning a few beasts.
00:26:03Let me warn you.
00:26:05You got lucky that night.
00:26:06Don't think you'll be able to leech off of the king and queen just because you saved the princess.
00:26:11You're nothing but a stinking worthless nobody, worlds apart from warriors blessed with divine power.
00:26:16Know your place and crawl back to your temple.
00:26:29You're nothing but fools cloaked in hypocrisy and arrogance.
00:26:37Zeus' blessing?
00:26:39Is it truly as unbreakable as they claim?
00:27:11Ares worshippers from the city-state of Arg watch us.
00:27:13Greedly caviting our title as Greece's mightiest warrior state.
00:27:17They will likely come to challenge us before long.
00:27:27My...
00:27:28My lord!
00:27:29The sacred monument!
00:27:34How could the monument end up like this?
00:27:38The god is perfectly even.
00:27:40It was split clean with a single blade strike.
00:27:44Even the great Timaeus could only leave a half-centimetre mark on this monument.
00:27:48Whoever split it in two wields power far surpassing the peak of divine blessings.
00:27:53My lord!
00:27:53If we could gain the aid of such a mighty figure, we would have nothing to fear from those who
00:27:57worship Ares.
00:27:58Sparta could rise to glory once more and hold fast to our title as Greece's greatest power.
00:28:02Aye.
00:28:02But who in the world could this be?
00:28:05Only Agus came near the monument today.
00:28:08Could it have been him?
00:28:23Agus, I had this armour made for you.
00:28:25Try it on and see if it fits.
00:28:27Oh.
00:28:29Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:28:31Put it on quickly.
00:28:35My dear son has grown into a noble, towering warrior.
00:28:48What's happening?
00:28:50The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:28:55The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:11The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:12The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:32Agus, why are you still here?
00:29:33You cannot wield divine power.
00:29:35Leave!
00:29:36At once, before you're dragged into this!
00:29:38A worthless Majarchius of sacrificial beasts dares intrude on a battle of the god-blessed?
00:29:55Surrender your title as Greece's mightiest warrior state, or none of you will leave this square alive!
00:30:02Creons, you're but a youth!
00:30:06How dare you lead an invasion into Sparta's royal city?
00:30:10Did your father teach you nothing of divine authority?
00:30:15Divine authority.
00:30:18Crap!
00:30:31An invasion into his own kingdom of monster!
00:30:31The two-time rand is all over the kingdom, so we need to get to build up his wife'sTeam!
00:30:32Sobring over all the kingdom of monster!
00:30:32The two-time rand is called the rand.
00:30:37The two-time rand is killed!
00:30:38The three-time rand.
00:30:38The two-time rand is killed!
00:30:41The three-time rand is killed!
00:30:43The two-time rand is killed!
00:30:50Zeus' blessings are nothing but a hollow pretense.
00:30:53Lord Ares' power is the true sovereignty.
00:31:17Father!
00:31:29Monster!
00:31:30Get away from my father!
00:31:44Now it's my turn.
00:31:45You're dead?
00:31:55Today, every last spark in here dies.
00:32:02Ilaran!
00:32:03No!
00:32:07Run!
00:32:08I'll hold him off!
00:32:10Agus!
00:32:11My son, run!
00:32:16The queen is my mother.
00:32:19My greatest sin in life was abandoning you at birth.
00:32:23Simply because you didn't have a divine spark forced to yield to divine rule.
00:32:27But to see you grow into such a brave warrior before I die, I have no regrets.
00:32:32My own mother would sacrifice herself just to let me escape.
00:32:38Agus!
00:32:39My brother!
00:32:40Sparta's ruin is not your burden.
00:32:42Without the god's blessing, you cannot stand against him.
00:32:47Leave now while you can.
00:32:48Go back to Mount Pellae!
00:32:49No wonder I felt such warmth from my blood-stained heart whenever I was moved.
00:32:52They're my own flesh and blood.
00:32:54My mother and my sister.
00:33:01Today I'll send the entire royal house of Spartan to the underworld.
00:33:05Die!
00:33:08Die!
00:33:27Let's get divorced.
00:33:29I'd rather leave without taking any property.
00:33:31Settle your gambling debts on your own.
00:33:33Don't drag me into this mess.
00:33:34I kept explaining that it was Timmy Lynch who had lost money betting on underdog matches,
00:33:38but she refused to listen.
00:33:39It's Timmy Lynch who owes the money, not me.
00:33:43You want to trick my daughter into pay your debts?
00:33:46And you even dare to slander my son?!
00:33:48Celia Lynch! Divorce him at once!
00:33:51She then laid all her cards on the table.
00:33:53To tell you the truth, Celia Lynch is pregnant.
00:33:56Don't.
00:33:56The child's father is one of your friends.
00:33:59And sign the divorce agreement right now.
00:34:01I was utterly stunned.
00:34:03Just last night I won a 100 million USA prizes from football bets.
00:34:06I had even planned to help Timmy Lynch pay off his debt,
00:34:08yet things had suddenly come to a head over a divorce.
00:34:10Very well.
00:34:11Let them handle this dug debt on their own.
00:34:13Meet me at the courthouse at 9 tomorrow morning.
00:34:15Anyone who doesn't show up is a coward.
00:34:20Now that the creditors had come knocking,
00:34:22the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:34:24Celia Lynch froze for a moment,
00:34:26clearly not expecting me to agree so readily.
00:34:29In her eyes, I was just a pathetic man scraping by on a small lottery shop.
00:34:33She had assumed I would drop to my knees and beg the second she brought up divorce.
00:34:37Her face twisted with scorn.
00:34:41Don't put on a brave front.
00:34:43Do you really think a divorce will get you out of this mess?
00:34:50She pulled out a pen and paper from under the coffee table, speaking in a stern tone.
00:34:56Sign this debt liability document.
00:34:59State clearly in black and white that the 100 million US dollars in gambling debts
00:35:04are solely the responsibility of Zach Lorenz and Celia bears no liability whatsoever.
00:35:10I glanced at the paper and thought it was completely ridiculous.
00:35:13He recklessly bet 50 million US dollars,
00:35:16backing the underdog Sherdrum team to beat the Acontia team.
00:35:19Unsurprisingly, he lost every penny and ended up drowning in massive debt.
00:35:22Now that the creditors had come knocking,
00:35:24the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:35:27I crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it into the trash can and retorting coldly,
00:35:31Your brother is the debtor. Go collect the money from him.
00:35:35I agree to a divorce, but I will never take the blame for his mistakes.
00:35:40Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:35:44Celia hurried over and dug her well-groomed nails hard into my arm.
00:35:50She shouted furiously.
00:35:53Timmy is steady and sensible.
00:35:55He would never gamble.
00:35:57You're the one who keeps company with gamblers and ran up a debt of over a hundred million.
00:36:01Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:36:06I stared coldly at her hysterical look.
00:36:12We had been married for three years.
00:36:14I toiled from dawn till dusk in my shop less than 200 square meters
00:36:18and handed over every penny I earned to her.
00:36:23Yet she spent my hard-earned money buying luxury items for Edwin.
00:36:27Worse still, she was pregnant with his child.
00:36:31I slowly plied her fingers off.
00:36:38My tone was so calm that even I felt astonished.
00:36:43You can go ask Timmy whether he is really as well-beating as you believe.
00:36:47I agree to the divorce, I'll let you be with Edwin.
00:36:58You lowly nobody.
00:36:59Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:01I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:06Carol stormed into the bedroom and began smashing things frantically.
00:37:11You won't sign, will you?
00:37:14Then I'll go cause trouble at your shabby shop and put an end to your business!
00:37:19She grabbed her Hermes handbag and walked straight out the door.
00:37:24Celia followed closely behind, sneering with contempt in her eyes.
00:37:30You lowly nobody.
00:37:31Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:34I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:38The two slammed the door and left in anger.
00:37:41I took a deep breath as I looked around the messy living room.
00:37:49Just then, my phone vibrated.
00:37:52A message from the Lottery Center reminded me to keep the winning ticket worth 120 million US dollars safe
00:37:57and to the city center to claim the prize as soon as pucitly.
00:38:01I touched the lottery ticket hidden close to my body.
00:38:09Since you've dug your own graves,
00:38:11don't blame me for letting things run their course.
00:38:17The owner of this shop gambles illegally and owes hundreds of millions in loan shark debts!
00:38:26Zack had just arrived around the corner by taxi when loud shouting and abuse assault his ears.
00:38:32Meriel Unley stood at the shop entrance with a megaphone, shouting for all to hear.
00:38:36Come one, come all!
00:38:38The owner of this shop gambles illegally and owes hundreds of millions in loan shark debts!
00:38:43He'll even drag his wife and child down with him!
00:38:48Regular customers who were checking the lottery results inside were utterly shocked.
00:38:52They gathered at the door, whispering and pointing.
00:38:55I never thought he'd be someone like this.
00:39:01Eyes glistening with feigned tears,
00:39:04Celia Lynch held up her phone to start a live stream,
00:39:06putting on a wronged expression for the camera.
00:39:13Hello, everyone!
00:39:14This is my cold-hearted ex-husband!
00:39:18I chose to leave with nothing just to end our marriage!
00:39:24Please, never marry a gambler!
00:39:32I pushed through the crowd and strode into the shop.
00:39:38I won't let you get away with this unless you pay the money today!
00:39:45Stop causing trouble in my shop.
00:39:48Instead of backing down, Meriel grew even more reckless when she saw me.
00:40:00I won't let you get away with this unless you pay the money today!
00:40:08As it happens, I have matters to settle with you two as well.
00:40:15I pulled the receipt for the TV out of my wallet.
00:40:25This television costs 800 US dollars.
00:40:29I will call the police and demand full compensation from you.
00:40:37Hundreds of millions in debt!
00:40:39He'll probably end up rotting in prison for the rest of his life!
00:40:49Go ahead and call the police!
00:40:51You owe hundreds of millions to loanharks!
00:40:54And they'll arrest you, the fraudners, the second they show up!
00:40:57She planted her hands on her hisps, turned to the onlookers, and raised her voice.
00:41:05Everyone, be the judge!
00:41:09This man lost hundreds of millions on sports betting, yet now he tries to extort 800 dollars from me for
00:41:16damages!
00:41:17A cold-blooded scoundrel like him deserves his come-up in!
00:41:21Murmurs broke out among the crowd.
00:41:23Several elderly regulars who often bought lottery tickets here stared at me doubtfully.
00:41:27He always seemed honest enough.
00:41:31I never thought he'd be such a reckless gambler.
00:41:34Hundreds of millions in debt!
00:41:36He'll probably end up rotting in prison for the rest of his life!
00:41:50Celia held up her phone, aiming the camera straight at me.
00:41:59The child you carry is Edwin's.
00:42:01If you can't stand the hardship, go to him.
00:42:04Why put on a show in my shop?
00:42:06Comments flooded the livestream rapidly, with Netsits jerling insults and trashing me relentlessly.
00:42:13Celia spoke in a tearful voice.
00:42:17Zack, if you sign the debt agreement and admit this is your personal liability, I'll leave at once and never
00:42:22bother you again!
00:42:24As she spoke, the stream was soon filled with sympathetic comments and gifs.
00:42:29Watching her clumsy, hypocritical act, I snired coldly.
00:42:33The child you carry is Edwin's.
00:42:35If you can't stand the hardship, go to him.
00:42:38Why put on a show in my shop?
00:42:42My voice was quiet yet clear enough for everyone present and all viewers online to hear.
00:42:49The noisy crowd fell dead silent for a moment, then broke into louder murmurs.
00:42:55Celia froze on the spot, panic flashing across her eyes.
00:43:07Zack! What's going on?!
00:43:10Why is everything in such a mess here?!
00:43:21CELIA QUICKLY COMPOSED HERSELF, TEARS STREAMING DOWN HER CHEAP.
00:43:28YOU LACK ABILITY YOURSELF, YET YOU FORCELY ACCUSED ME OUT OF NOWHERE!
00:43:40ENRAGED BY HER WORDS, MERRIL CHARGED FORWARD AND GRABBED AT MY CLOTHES.
00:43:46YOU HEARTLESS BRUTE!
00:43:50YOU GOT YOUR OWN ISSUES AND STILL YOU DARE TO DEFACE MY DAUGHTER!
00:43:59JUST THEN, AN ANXIOUS VOICE RANG OUT FROM BEYOND THE CROWD.
00:44:05ZACK! WHAT'S GOING ON?!
00:44:08WHY IS EVERYTHING IN SUCH A MESS HERE?!
00:44:15I SPUN AROUND AND SAW MY MOTHER DARLA PUSHING HER WAY THROUGH THE CROWD WITH DIFFICULTY.
00:44:20A THERMAL CONTAINER IN HER HAND.
00:44:25IN-LAW! JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOUR SON HAS DONE!
00:44:31SHE HAD GONE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A BLOOD PRESSURE CHECK TODAY AND DROPPED BY THE SHOP ON HER WAY
00:44:35BACK WITH SOME HOMEMADE SOUP.
00:44:40STEPPING INSIDE AND SEEING THE TOTAL MESS, WITH THE BROKEN TELEVISION LYING ON THE FLOOR, MOTHER'S HANDS SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY.
00:44:55DEAR IN-LAW, YOU CAN RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH DISCUSSION. HOW COULD YOU BANISH OTHER RACE PROPERTY LIKE THIS?!
00:45:03SHE HURRIED FORWARD TO PULL MERRIL ASIDE.
00:45:06BURNING WITH RAGE AND EAGER TO VENT HER ANGER, MERRIL ROUGHLY SHOOK OFF HER HAND AND SMEARED.
00:45:19IN-LAW! JUST LOOK AT WHAT YOUR SON HAS DONE!
00:45:23HE'S RUN UP MASSIVE GAMBLING DEBTS AND NOW TRIES TO DRAG MY DAUGHTER INTO PAYING THEM OFF!
00:45:34MOTHER TURNED DEATHLY PALE AT ONCE.
00:45:36WHAT? HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN DEBT?
00:45:42ZACH, WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?!
00:45:45LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH, OLD WOMAN. THIS CHILD ISN'T YOUR SONS AT ALL.
00:45:52I SUPPORTED MY MOTHER AND EXPLAINED IN A LOW VOICE.
00:45:57MOM, DON'T LISTEN TO HER NONSENSE. THE DEBT WAS INCURRED BY TIMMY. IT'S NOTHING TO LIST WITH ME.
00:46:06EVERYONE TAKE A GOOD LOOK. THIS IS THE GAMBLER'S MOTHER.
00:46:10THIS IS THE GAMBLER.
00:46:18THIS IS THE GAMBLER.
00:46:40IT BELONGS TO HIS FRIEND EDWIN.
00:46:44YOUR FAMILY LINE ENDS HERE.
00:46:46MY MOTHER'S EYES WIDENED.
00:46:48MOM!
00:46:53MOM!
00:46:55CALL AN AMBULANCE RIGHT AWAY!
00:47:05YOU ALL WITNESSED THIS.
00:47:07THEIR WHOLE FAMILY IS STAGING A...
00:47:23HONEY, I'LL DEFEND YOU.
00:47:26WE USED TO BE FRIENDS AFTER ALL.
00:47:28TAKE THIS MONEY FOR YOUR MOTHER'S MEDICAL CAPEMENT.
00:47:31THE REST IS FOR MILK PETTER FOR CELIA'S UNBORN CHILD.
00:47:37STEP ASIDE! EVERYONE MOVE BACK!
00:47:45THE BANK COATS HIT ME HARD IN THE FACE,
00:47:47AND SCATTERED INTO THE SPILLED SOUP ON THE FLOOR,
00:47:50SOON COVERED IN GREASY STAINS.
00:47:52I STARED FIRMLY AT EDWIN GRANT'S INSOLENT FACE.
00:47:58CUTTING THROUGH THE BUSTLE OF THE STREET.
00:48:05STEP ASIDE! EVERYONE MOVE BACK!
00:48:15TREAT MY MOTHER IMMEDIATELY.
00:48:19AS THE DOOR SLID SHUT, I CAUGHT SIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW OF EDEN GRANT GRANT,
00:48:23THROWING A VICTORY SIGN TOWARDS THE LIVE STREAM CAMERA,
00:48:26WHILE CELIA LYNCH LEANED AGAINST HIS CHEST WITH A TRIUMFANT SMILE ON HER FACE.
00:48:31THAT PASSES $20,000.
00:48:42THE PATIENT HAS SUFFERED A SEVERE CEREBRAL HEMORRAGE,
00:48:44AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE CRANIOTOMY.
00:48:45A DEPOSIT OF $20,000 MUST BE PAID FIRST.
00:48:54THE PATIENT HAS SUFFERED A SEVERE CEREBRAL HEMORRAGE,
00:48:56AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE CRANIOTOMY.
00:48:57A DEPOSIT OF $20,000 MUST BE PAID FIRST.
00:49:05$20,000.
00:49:18All my savings were kept by Celia Lynch.
00:49:20She had even secretly changed the password of the bank card for monthly business revenue.
00:49:24Right then, apart from the winning lottery ticket worth $120 million hidden close to my body, I did not even
00:49:30have $200 on me.
00:49:31The prize claim process would take time.
00:49:34Even if everything went as fast as possible, the money would not arrive until the next day.
00:49:40Uncle Will, my mother has suddenly suffered a rebal hepertage.
00:49:44I need $20,000 for her surgery.
00:49:46Right away. You could lend me the money to trump me over?
00:49:50I really can't lend you any money.
00:49:56Zach Lawrence, it's not that I don't want to help.
00:50:04Celia Lynch just said in her live stream that you owe hundreds of millions in gambling debts.
00:50:09Our small sum of money won't make any difference.
00:50:12You'd better figure this out on your own.
00:50:19I've heard what happened. Let's cut off all contact.
00:50:33Celia Lynch's live stream had not only ruined my reputation, but also completely severed all my connections and ways out.
00:50:44Desperate and cornered, I was about to swallow my pride and turn to loan sharks.
00:50:51When the click of high heels echoed from the end of the corridor.
00:51:02Hey! What are you doing?
00:51:11I already gave you a fresh one. How could you eat a hot dog off the ground?
00:51:16I just...
00:51:17Don't stop me!
00:51:19Lucas.
00:51:23That's my mother. She suffered head trauma and lost all her memories after getting hurt.
00:51:28She hasn't eaten in days. She's really hungry.
00:51:36Dan, pull over.
00:51:38Boss, what's wrong?
00:51:38He might need help. Let's go take a look.
00:51:43Why didn't you just say so, kid? I'll go make another one for you.
00:51:46Sir, I already got one for free. I just can't take more.
00:51:51What a sweet kid. Just breaks my heart.
00:51:57Yeah. No idea who his dad is.
00:52:00What kind of heartless bastard just walks out on a kid and his mom like that?
00:52:04Here. Take this. Make sure you eat, okay?
00:52:07You're still just a kid.
00:52:08Here. Take it. Don't feel bad, okay?
00:52:11Just stay strong and pay it forward when you can.
00:52:21I promise I'll repay you.
00:52:26Go on. Go find your mom.
00:52:28Go on. Go find your mom.
00:52:45Let's go, mom.
00:52:50Come on, Arthur.
00:52:53Wait.
00:52:58Can I help you, sir?
00:53:11The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
00:53:14You guys are lucky today.
00:53:25Why does she look so familiar?
00:53:33I know you.
00:53:35Alexander.
00:53:36You're Alexander.
00:53:40Who doesn't know Alexander Clark?
00:53:43You're just pretending to be crazy to get money, aren't you?
00:53:46Mom!
00:53:47Cinda, what are you doing here?
00:53:50Saw your car while I was shopping.
00:53:52So I thought, why not say hi?
00:53:54Hi.
00:53:59Eww, woman like her.
00:54:01Filthy, trashy, no-buns.
00:54:03They don't deserve your kindness.
00:54:05You're too soft, Alexander.
00:54:21Thanks.
00:54:23Thanks.
00:54:24Thanks.
00:54:24Thanks.
00:54:31Want to see what's underneath?
00:54:41Brian, will you marry me?
00:54:45Yes.
00:54:48You're the only one I'll ever love.
00:54:49I'll give you everything.
00:54:51I promise.
00:54:54I promise.
00:54:55I'll give you, Alexander.
00:54:56All I need is you.
00:55:08Alexander!
00:55:10Alexander!
00:55:12Mom!
00:55:12Mom, what's wrong?
00:55:14What's happening to her?
00:55:16Ugh, she's obviously crazy.
00:55:17Let's get out of here fast.
00:55:21Alexander.
00:55:23But she's saying my name.
00:55:25How would she ever know me?
00:55:26Everyone in Tech City knows who you are.
00:55:28They're just faking hardship to manipulate your sympathy.
00:55:32When I look at her, I always feel like I've met her before.
00:55:39Alexander!
00:55:40It's me!
00:55:44You crazy woman!
00:55:46I know you've got an ulterior motive.
00:55:48How dare you even lay a finger on Alexander!
00:55:51You need to apologize to my mom!
00:55:56People like you are nothing but scammers.
00:55:58Pretending to know Alexander just to steal his money.
00:56:01Disgusting crap.
00:56:06I must be out of my mind.
00:56:08How could I think that woman was Brianna?
00:56:10Brianna was always so gentle.
00:56:12And she's been dead for years.
00:56:13I know you.
00:56:14I know you!
00:56:15Miss, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
00:56:17I don't know you.
00:56:19I only stopped because I felt sorry for you and your son.
00:56:21No, you do know me.
00:56:23I'm...
00:56:26Mom!
00:56:27Mom, are you okay?
00:56:31But I know you.
00:56:33I know you.
00:56:34Alexander, let's go.
00:56:35This is just a pity act to swan your sympathy and your money.
00:56:38Sir, Miss Cinda's right.
00:56:39People like them will do anything for cash.
00:56:42My mom doesn't lie!
00:56:44You pushed her!
00:56:45She got hurt because of you!
00:56:47Still playing games?
00:56:49You touched this?
00:56:52Are you out of your mind?
00:56:53This is a 2026 runway piece.
00:56:55Selling you and your crazy-ass mom wouldn't even pay for a sleeve.
00:56:58We're not lying!
00:57:00Say sorry to my mom right now!
00:57:02Stop!
00:57:05Kid, you belong in school.
00:57:07Not out here hustling strangers with your mom.
00:57:09We're not liars!
00:57:10You don't get to talk about my mom like that!
00:57:13No one's buying it.
00:57:14Tell your mom to quit the act.
00:57:16She's not even good at pretending.
00:57:19It's not your fault.
00:57:21After all, you have such an irresponsible mother.
00:57:23Don't you dare talk about my mom like that!
00:57:25She's the best mom in the whole world!
00:57:29People like you don't deserve to live.
00:57:31Where's your dad?
00:57:33I don't have dad.
00:57:37No wonder.
00:57:40Being a mother comes with responsibility.
00:57:43Stop this madness dragging your son into it.
00:57:45You're ruining that child.
00:57:46Take this.
00:57:47Use it to send him to school.
00:57:55Money!
00:57:56So much money.
00:57:58Mom!
00:57:59We can't take this!
00:58:01I need it!
00:58:03Money!
00:58:04See, Alexander?
00:58:05I told you.
00:58:06Crocodile tears and open hands.
00:58:07Classic scammer move.
00:58:08Boss, she's clearly faking it.
00:58:10Why waste your time?
00:58:11I pitied the kid.
00:58:12Not her.
00:58:13Let's go.
00:58:14Little bastard.
00:58:15Lucky today.
00:58:18With this money, I can save Alexander.
00:58:20I can pay for his surgery!
00:58:24Alexander!
00:58:25I have money now!
00:58:31Mom, please help!
00:58:33Somebody help my mom!
00:58:36Boss, they're acting again.
00:58:38Don't fall for it.
00:58:39Alexander, let's just forget about them.
00:58:41I booked that French place you love after dinner.
00:58:43Comfort.
00:58:44Don't touch me.
00:58:45I've told you.
00:58:45I don't want you.
00:58:46The only woman I've ever loved is Brianna.
00:58:48Alexander!
00:58:49Brianna's dead!
00:58:50Mom!
00:58:50Next time I see you, it better be business.
00:58:53Nothing else.
00:58:56Filthy beggars!
00:58:58They ruined everything!
00:59:00Mom, please, wake up!
00:59:09Please, save my mom.
00:59:47Don't touch me!
00:59:48Get out of the way!
00:59:49Please, touch me!
00:59:50Don't touch me!
00:59:57Mom, it's okay.
00:59:58You're safe now.
01:00:00We're at the hospital.
01:00:15She seems mentally unstable.
01:00:18Could be long-term.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22She's been like this forever.
01:00:24Totally out of it.
01:00:26You got her name?
01:00:28Any family?
01:00:29No clue.
01:00:29Just that poor kid.
01:00:31Her mind was already fragile.
01:00:33Something pushed her over the edge.
01:00:33Probably a huge shock.
01:00:36I know you!
01:00:38Alexander!
01:00:38You're Alexander!
01:00:40It was him.
01:00:41He made mom snap?
01:00:42So what now?
01:00:43How do we help her?
01:00:45She needs brain surgery.
01:00:47And important meds.
01:00:48Without it, she wouldn't last more than a few days.
01:00:52Then start the treatment, please!
01:00:59Please, save my mom.
01:01:01She's all I have left.
01:01:04Look, kid.
01:01:05It's not that I don't care.
01:01:07The only hope is this new drug from Clark Corp.
01:01:10I sold scrap.
01:01:12This is all I got.
01:01:14Can it buy medicine?
01:01:16I'll pay for it.
01:01:17Just, please!
01:01:18Get her the meds!
01:01:19Do something!
01:01:22That drug's still in development.
01:01:24Clark Corp hasn't released it yet.
01:01:25Please!
01:01:26I can't lose her!
01:01:28Alexander Clark runs that company.
01:01:29Big on charity, they say.
01:01:31If you can get access to ask him directly,
01:01:32maybe he'll help.
01:01:33It could be your only shot.
01:01:35Alexander?
01:01:37Clark?
01:01:38The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
01:01:40You guys are lucky today.
01:01:42So it's him.
01:01:48Don't worry, Mom.
01:01:50I'll find a way to save you.
01:01:58Please!
01:01:58I need to see Mr. Clark!
01:02:00You think just anyone can meet Mr. Clark?
01:02:03Get lost!
01:02:04Hey!
01:02:07I said get out of here, kid!
01:02:24Jesus!
01:02:24Are you trying to get yourself killed?
01:02:26Please!
01:02:27Do you know Mr. Clark?
01:02:28Can you take me?
01:02:29What the hell?
01:02:29Who are you?
01:02:30You think you can just walk up to the richest guy in town?
01:02:33Go away!
01:02:36I'm sorry, sir.
01:02:46Mom, I'm sorry.
01:02:48I still couldn't find him.
01:02:50Please, hang on!
01:02:55Mr. Clark's gone for the day.
01:02:57If you're that desperate, try his house.
01:03:00Don't tell anyone.
01:03:04Thank you, sir!
01:03:10Brianna, I miss you so much.
01:03:18Alexander, Cinda waited all day.
01:03:20You didn't even show your face.
01:03:22I've told you, I won't marry.
01:03:24My heart died with Brianna.
01:03:26Brianna's been gone for years.
01:03:28You really gonna die alone for a ghost?
01:03:30Yes.
01:03:30In this life, she's the only one I'll ever marry.
01:03:33Alexander, enough!
01:03:34This ends now!
01:03:38It's okay, Mr. Clark.
01:03:39If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave.
01:03:42No, Cinda.
01:03:43You're staying.
01:03:44I don't care how stubborn he is.
01:03:45I'll make him marry you.
01:03:59Then I'm done with this house.
01:04:00With all of it.
01:04:04Fine!
01:04:05Walk out and don't come back!
01:04:08Please, don't be upset, Mr. Clark.
01:04:10He just needs time.
01:04:12One day, he'll realize Brianna's not coming back.
01:04:17Their wedding ring.
01:04:19Get rid of it.
01:04:20It's the only way he'll move on.
01:04:22Go on.
01:04:23Throw it as far away as you can.
01:04:28Yes, sir.
01:04:31He's awful.
01:04:32But Mom needs that medicine.
01:04:34If I just beg hard enough, maybe he'll help us.
01:04:47Sir, there's a kid outside, asking for Mr. Alexander.
01:04:51Kid?
01:04:52In this rain?
01:04:53Bring him in, now.
01:05:06Grab a towel.
01:05:07Quickly, he'll catch cold.
01:05:12Who are you?
01:05:14Why are you looking for Alexander?
01:05:16I need medicine.
01:05:17For my mom.
01:05:19She'll die without it.
01:05:23Your mom.
01:05:25What's her name?
01:05:29Her name is...
01:05:30Hey!
01:05:35Sir, here's the towel.
01:05:43He looks just like Alexander did.
01:05:47Thanks.
01:05:48But my mom's running out of time.
01:05:52Kid, wait!
01:05:54Nate, did you see that kid?
01:05:56He looks exactly like Alexander did when he was seven.
01:05:59No doubt.
01:06:01If you want to be sure, sir, we can test the hair on that towel.
01:06:06Do it.
01:06:07If he really is Alexander's son, we have to bring him back at once.
01:06:10I'm leaving all my fortune to him.
01:06:18I miss you so much.
01:06:28The ring.
01:06:30Where is it?
01:06:32Sir.
01:06:33Our wedding ring!
01:06:34It's gone!
01:06:35Everyone here knows how much it means to you.
01:06:37No one would touch it.
01:06:38It's all I have left of Brianna.
01:06:39It can't just vanish.
01:06:41Put out a reward.
01:06:42Anyone who finds it gets whatever they want.
01:06:44Right away, sir.
01:06:50Massive reward for return of Alexander Clark's wedding ring.
01:06:58That ring!
01:06:59That's the one mom always wears!
01:07:01She's always so protective of it.
01:07:04But now, she needs that medicine more.
01:07:06Maybe I can trade mom's ring to get the medicine from him.
01:07:11Mom, I have to do this for your illness.
01:07:14I hope you can forgive me.
01:07:21Sir, the ring.
01:07:23It's been found.
01:07:26Where is it?
01:07:27A kid found it.
01:07:28He's waiting at the Clark's hospital.
01:07:29Let's go.
01:07:30Now.
01:07:45Mr. Alexander!
01:07:50You again?
01:07:53Is this the ring you're looking for?
01:07:59Sir.
01:08:00That's your missing ring.
01:08:02This little thief stole it.
01:08:03I didn't steal it.
01:08:04I found it.
01:08:05Cut the crap.
01:08:07The boss's ring was kept safely in the drawer.
01:08:09There's no way you just happened to find it.
01:08:11I could tell from the start you two were trouble.
01:08:13Turns out you're not just con artists putting on an act for money.
01:08:16You're thieves too.
01:08:17It was my mom's.
01:08:18I need Clark meds for her.
01:08:19That's why I...
01:08:20That ring was Mr. Alexander's wedding ring for his late fiance.
01:08:23What's your mom got to do with it?
01:08:25We let you off once.
01:08:26Now this?
01:08:27You know how much this means to him.
01:08:34Hand it over.
01:08:36Now.
01:08:37I didn't steal it.
01:08:39You can have it, but please give me the medicine first.
01:08:42I don't deal with thieves.
01:08:44You're not worth it.
01:08:45Give it to me.
01:08:56Give it back!
