Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Choose one to be your mate. None of them. I choose Damon, the crippled alpha. I am the only direct
00:00:06bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:00:08Yet, I was born a female alpha, who couldn't even maintain a stable wolf form.
00:00:14I spent 10 years chasing after Kaylin Stone, until one day, standing outside his bedroom door, I heard him swear
00:00:21to Vivian Moss.
00:00:23I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position. You're the only one I want.
00:00:26The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived, when a servant screamed.
00:00:30Help! Vivian is missing!
00:00:32Then she appeared, crying, running.
00:00:35It was Lyra. She had me taken.
00:00:38My head snapped to the side. Silence swallowed the entire hall. Then he looked at me.
00:00:43I will never mark someone like you.
00:00:46Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate. If everything comes down to power and survival, then I
00:00:51choose strength, not sentiment.
00:00:52Choose one to be your mate. One of these potential alpha candidates will become the next alpha of our pack.
00:00:59None of them.
00:01:02I choose Damon, the crippled alpha.
00:01:06I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:01:09Yet, I was born a female alpha.
00:01:12Everyone said that the five orphans my father brought back from the battlefield were the true future of the pack.
00:01:18He raised them into the most admired beta warriors in Iron Moon.
00:01:22As for me, I was nothing more than a pretty heir with noble blood who couldn't even maintain a stable
00:01:29wolf form.
00:01:29And as far as those five were concerned, I barely existed.
00:01:34I spent ten years chasing after Caelan Stone, only 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, standing outside his bedroom door, I heard him swear to Vivian Moss.
00:01:48I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:01:50You're the only mate I want.
00:01:52I've made you have to ask.
00:01:54Those words shattered everything I had believed in for the past ten years.
00:01:59On the eve of the Elders' Council meeting, my father asked me who I wanted to choose.
00:02:04I thought of the way all five of them avoided my gaze.
00:02:07If I'm getting married, I might as well make it strategic.
00:02:11I choose Damon Bloodfing of the Bloodfill Pack.
00:02:14Damon was poisoned by silver five years ago.
00:02:16His legs were left paralyzed, and rumors say he can't even complete a mating mark anymore.
00:02:21Are you sure?
00:02:22Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate.
00:02:25If everything comes down to power and survival, then I choose strength, not sentiment.
00:02:31Damon may be crippled, but his bloodline, his pack, and his warriors still outweigh those five men combined.
00:02:36My father's expression darkened.
00:02:38You say that so easily, but are you telling me none of the five boys I raised for you ever
00:02:43caught your attention?
00:02:44My mother had been my father's only mate.
00:02:46She died the year I was born.
00:02:48A rogue attack.
00:02:49Too much blood loss.
00:02:51No second chance.
00:02:52After that, he never took another mate.
00:02:54But he also never fully believed a female alpha could carry Iron Moon alone, so he followed the council's recommendation.
00:03:01He brought back five orphaned boys from the battlefield, and raised them inside Iron Moon.
00:03:06He made one rule from the beginning.
00:03:08No matter who I chose, that man would be granted alpha status, meant to rule beside me, not beneath me.
00:03:15That was his compromise.
00:03:16Love me fiercely, and still not trust me enough to do it alone.
00:03:20I met his gaze.
00:03:21Yes, my bond with Damon 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 than any arranged foster alliance you built here.
00:03:33Compared to relying on adopted sons to stabilize Iron Moon, an alliance with a true power pack is simply the
00:03:39rational choice.
00:03:41Silence stretched between us.
00:03:43If none of them were able to hold your attention, then there is no reason to keep them in Iron
00:03:49Moon.
00:03:49We left the council hall together.
00:03:51My father cast Caelan a brief, unreadable glance before walking out.
00:03:57What did you report this time?
00:04:01Let me guess, she ran to Alpha again because we didn't treat her like royalty.
00:04:06Princess Lyra didn't get enough attention, so she needed to complain?
00:04:10Orion and Riven followed with quiet snorts, barely even trying to hide it.
00:04:14Five voices, one direction, all aimed at me, like a wall closing in.
00:04:20If none of you want to mark me, why hasn't a single one of you ever 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 with wealth and freedom and never looked back.
00:04:33But none of them ever said it.
00:04:36Not once.
00:04:37Because none of them actually wanted to leave the Iron Moon pack.
00:04:40Not the future it promised.
00:04:42Stop dressing it up.
00:04:43We're just fostered wolves living in Iron Moon.
00:04:46What choice do you think we actually have?
00:04:48Just pick me if you're going to pick anyone.
00:04:50Don't drag them into your mess.
00:04:52For a second, the others went quiet.
00:04:54Almost moved.
00:04:56Like he was taking the burden of sacrifice onto himself.
00:04:59But all I felt was a slow, bitter weight settling in my chest.
00:05:03Nothing else.
00:05:04Then, Vivian showed up.
00:05:06The moment her eyes landed on me, she shifted back, instinctively, and slipped behind Caelan.
00:05:12She didn't do anything.
00:05:14Drop it for today.
00:05:17I stared at the door.
00:05:18Five men.
00:05:19The same five who were supposed to stand behind me.
00:05:23Now all of them stood in front of her.
00:05:25Protecting her from me.
00:05:27Something in my memory snapped open.
00:05:29One year ago.
00:05:31Not long after Vivian arrived at Iron Moon.
00:05:33That night, I 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.
00:05:43Caelan, are you really going to mark Lyra?
00:05:48My hand froze on the doorframe.
00:05:50No.
00:05:52I won't mark her.
00:05:53My chest tightened before I even understood why.
00:05:56Then why did you agree to Alpha Ronin?
00:06:00Because that's the only way I can become Alpha of Iron Moon.
00:06:04And Lyra.
00:06:06She's just stepping stone.
00:06:08Once I take control, I'll send her away.
00:06:13Then what about me?
00:06:16You?
00:06:17You're the only one I want.
00:06:19Once I take Alpha, I'll mark you publicly.
00:06:22You'll be my Luna.
00:06:26She can't even shift right.
00:06:28Luna?
00:06:29Seriously?
00:06:32She's only valuable because of her bloodline.
00:06:35Nothing else.
00:06:37Does she actually believe we'd choose her?
00:06:42When she finds out, she's going to break.
00:06:46Like it was already decided.
00:06:49Then you won't lie to me, right?
00:06:52I swear.
00:06:55Only you.
00:06:56The bowl slipped from my hands.
00:06:58It hit the ground and shattered.
00:07:03Who's there?
00:07:04I moved into the shadow beside the doorway and held my breath.
00:07:08Kalen stepped out.
00:07:09His eyes dropped to the broken bowl.
00:07:11A cat.
00:07:13I stayed where I was.
00:07:15Didn't speak.
00:07:16Didn't cry.
00:07:17Didn't make a sound.
00:07:18Only when the silence settled did I step back.
00:07:21Into the moonlight.
00:07:22It spilled across my face like something too clean for what I was feeling.
00:07:28The next morning I met Vivian in the garden.
00:07:31She was holding a bowl of flower essence, smiling like she had been waiting for me.
00:07:36Good morning, Lyra.
00:07:38Sleep well?
00:07:39Now there was ease in her expression.
00:07:42Confidence.
00:07:42I did.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:44She paused.
00:07:45Just for a second.
00:07:46Lyra, this was my mother's.
00:07:48I wanted you to have it.
00:07:50Thank you for everything you've done for me.
00:07:53Before I could respond, Kalen appeared.
00:07:56You're seriously taking her mother's relic?
00:08:00Now?
00:08:01I froze.
00:08:02Vivian dropped instantly, knees to the ground.
00:08:06It wasn't Lyra.
00:08:08I gave it to her.
00:08:09Please don't blame her.
00:08:11She slammed her forehead into the ground.
00:08:13Again.
00:08:14Blood showed almost immediately.
00:08:16Merrick arrived first.
00:08:17Then Corbin, Orion, Riven.
00:08:19Lyra!
00:08:20Enough!
00:08:22You're the heir.
00:08:23Not a bully.
00:08:25You have everything.
00:08:26And you still take the only thing she has?
00:08:29Riven drew his dagger in one smooth motion.
00:08:33Apologize.
00:08:34An alpha heir boxed in on all sides.
00:08:36They weren't asking.
00:08:38They were pressing me down.
00:08:39Forcing submission.
00:08:40Forcing my neck exposed to an Omega who was clearly playing a game they refused to see.
00:08:46Vivian kept her head lowered.
00:08:48But I caught it anyway.
00:08:49That small, satisfied curve at the corner of her mouth.
00:08:52I didn't fight back.
00:08:54Because somewhere deep down, there was still a stupid, fragile part of me that waited.
00:08:59Maybe Kalen would step in.
00:09:01Maybe he'd say, this doesn't add up.
00:09:03He didn't.
00:09:05Apologize.
00:09:06Or I don't.
00:09:07Mark you.
00:09:08That line landed harder than anything else.
00:09:11Because I had already given him everything I had in me.
00:09:14I couldn't afford to lose him.
00:09:16Not then.
00:09:17So I lowered my head.
00:09:18My throat burned as I exposed my neck.
00:09:21I'm sorry.
00:09:22And that moment?
00:09:23That single submission lasted a year.
00:09:26After that day, Vivian changed how she moved around me.
00:09:30Like I was something dangerous.
00:09:31Sometimes she dropped to her knees the moment she saw me.
00:09:34Sometimes she hid behind the five of them, shaking, crying on cue.
00:09:38And I did nothing.
00:09:39Once she tripped in the garden.
00:09:41A shallow scrape on her knee.
00:09:43Nothing serious.
00:09:44But she ran straight to Kalen in tears, claiming I had pushed her.
00:09:48No questions asked.
00:09:49All five of them came for me.
00:09:51They tore through my quarters like a storm.
00:09:53Everything broken.
00:09:55Everything scattered.
00:09:56If you touch her again, break 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.
00:10:06Always her.
00:10:07The memory snapped back like a pulled thread.
00:10:10Vivian was still behind Kalen now.
00:10:13Smiling faintly.
00:10:14Like she had already won something no one else could see.
00:10:17If you're that afraid, I'll hurt her.
00:10:18You might as well leash her to your side.
00:10:20Are you threatening me?
00:10:22What are you planning to do to her?
00:10:25Let me guess.
00:10:26Now that we gave Vivian a Starfall Sanctum, you're finally snapping?
00:10:30You already have everything.
00:10:32And she has nothing.
00:10:33It's just Starfall Sanctum.
00:10:35Why are you acting like this is some tragedy?
00:10:38My gaze sharpened.
00:10:39Starfall Sanctum?
00:10:41Starfall Sanctum wasn't just a place.
00:10:43It was a buried lunar basin deep under Iron Moon territory.
00:10:46When it hit the sacred waters, it refracted into something that looked like a galaxy trapped underground.
00:10:51My father spent 18 years building it.
00:10:55For me.
00:10:55A coming-of-age gift.
00:10:57Half a year ago, as it neared completion, he handed oversight to Kalen.
00:11:01He was supposed to present it to me on my ceremony day.
00:11:04Instead, it never reached me.
00:11:06It 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.
00:11:14Vivian 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.
00:11:25Don't turn this into something it isn't.
00:11:28And stop making a scene.
00:11:30If it comes to it, I'll announce our mating bond.
00:11:32At your coming-of-age ceremony next month, that should satisfy you enough.
00:11:35Right?
00:11:36The way Kalen looked at me, calm, almost magnanimous, made something cold twist in my chest.
00:11:45For a second, I almost wondered if I was the one who didn't belong here.
00:11:49If anything, they looked at him like he was making some kind of noble sacrifice.
00:11:54You really don't have to go this far.
00:11:56Lyra'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 what she's been chasing for years.
00:12:06Kalen, don't do this for me.
00:12:08If it helps, I'll kneel to her.
00:12:10I'll beg.
00:12:10I'll do anything she wants.
00:12:12I swallowed once.
00:12:14Hard.
00:12:15I won't choose you.
00:12:16Kalen's brow lifted slightly, like he was still deciding whether I was serious.
00:12:20Merrick and Corbin exchanged a look, like they were more afraid I'd choose them instead.
00:12:25That alone hit something deep in my chest.
00:12:27Ten years.
00:12:28Standing behind them.
00:12:30And still, I was the only one treated like I didn't belong in the same space.
00:12:34I turned to leave.
00:12:36Vivian caught my wrist.
00:12:37Then she dropped instantly.
00:12:38Knees to the ground.
00:12:39Head lowered.
00:12:41Please.
00:12:42Don't make this harder for Kalen.
00:12:44The five of them were brought into Iron Moon.
00:12:46They were never equal to begin with.
00:12:48If you're going to report this over Starfall's sanctuary, I'll apologize.
00:12:52I'll do whatever you want.
00:12:54Then she started bowing.
00:12:56Fast.
00:12:56Hard.
00:12:57Her forehead hit the ground until blood appeared.
00:13:00Kalen moved immediately.
00:13:01He pulled her up.
00:13:02Jaw tight.
00:13:03So you say you won't choose me.
00:13:05But when the time comes, don't change your mind.
00:13:09This whole thing, you're just trying to pressure her indirectly.
00:13:13You just want an excuse to report her and force her out, don't you?
00:13:16I don't care what you think.
00:13:18I won't choose you.
00:13:21Kalen grabbed my wrist hard.
00:13:24Not me?
00:13:25Then who?
00:13:26Marek?
00:13:27Corbin?
00:13:28Mark wants freedom.
00:13:30Corbin wants peace.
00:13:32Haven't you already taken enough from them?
00:13:34If you agree to stop targeting Vivian, I'll mark you.
00:13:39Just stop this.
00:13:40That's all I'm asking.
00:13:42For the first time, he looked exhausted.
00:13:43Like I had been the one wearing him down for years.
00:13:46I held his gaze for a long moment, then said quietly,
00:13:50Everything will go the way you want.
00:13:52He was afraid I'd hurt Vivian.
00:13:53He refused to mark me.
00:13:55Fine.
00:13:56Once I became Damon Bloodfang's mate, none of this would matter anyway.
00:13:59The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived.
00:14:02Iron Moon had been transformed.
00:14:05Everyone knew why they were here.
00:14:07Not just my 18th birthday.
00:14:09My mate declaration.
00:14:11And everyone already knew the outcome.
00:14:14Kalen Stone.
00:14:16Because I had chased him for 10 years.
00:14:19Because the entire pack had watched it happen.
00:14:21The five of them stood in the front row.
00:14:24Even the guests looked at them more than they looked at me.
00:14:27Like this ceremony belonged to them.
00:14:30I was about to shut down the whispers when a servant screamed.
00:14:34Help!
00:14:35Vivian is missing!
00:14:36There's a note!
00:14:37She's been kidnapped!
00:14:38The shift was immediate.
00:14:41Merrick moved first.
00:14:43Before I could even turn, my head snapped to the side.
00:14:48Silence swallowed the entire hall.
00:14:50The pain landed a beat too late.
00:14:53Around us, people scattered instinctively.
00:14:56Kalen grabbed Merrick's arm before he could swing again.
00:14:59Then he looked at me.
00:15:02We already stood here like you're choosing between us.
00:15:04Like we're disposable.
00:15:05And it still isn't enough!
00:15:07His voice sharpened.
00:15:08Do you want her dead?
00:15:10I stared back at him.
00:15:11Corbin looked at me like I was something contaminated.
00:15:14You waited until she was alone and staged this.
00:15:17You really think we won't see through it?
00:15:18That's when it clicked.
00:15:20Not confusion.
00:15:21Clarity.
00:15:22Vivian had done this again.
00:15:24And this time, she'd done it in front of everyone.
00:15:28No one moved to intervene.
00:15:30Not after I was slapped in public.
00:15:32Not after I stood there bleeding pride.
00:15:34Because they had already made their decision.
00:15:38Iron Moon wasn't mine in their eyes.
00:15:41Apologize.
00:15:42He let out a short, humorless laugh.
00:15:45Vivian nearly lost her innocence and you're worried about a slap?
00:15:48Then she appeared.
00:15:50Crying.
00:15:51Running.
00:15:52Her dress torn.
00:15:54Dirt stained.
00:15:55Like she had barely escaped something violent.
00:15:58It was Lyra.
00:16:00She had me taken.
00:16:02She said she'd have rogue wolves.
00:16:05To violate me.
00:16:07So I'd never come back.
00:16:09The hall detonated.
00:16:11Whispers turned into outrage.
00:16:13Shock into judgment.
00:16:15Kalen didn't hesitate.
00:16:17He pulled his coat around her like she was something fragile and irreplaceable.
00:16:22Then he looked at me.
00:16:23You don't stop, do you?
00:16:25His voice dropped.
00:16:26I will never mark someone like you.
00:16:29The world below is a hundred times tougher than stone!
00:16:35That skinning knife of yours could never cut through the iron wall of the god's will!
00:16:53The floor is better.
00:16:59You touch the fire right here!
00:17:04You hear this.
00:17:08Haszuka broken Lobby gathered.
00:17:09You try and cursed.
00:17:10You don't stop yelling!
00:17:14You fighting?
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.
00:17:38And you've only trained for a mere dozen years.
00:17:41Master, I'm going down the mountain.
00:17:43I 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.
00:17:51Those 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.
00:17:59When I found you at the bottom of the Abyss Valley all those years ago, this ring was on you.
00:18:04Go, 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, he still carries the pure blood of a
00:18:21titan.
00:18:22Blood unseen in millennia.
00:18:24No one in this world will ever be able to defeat him.
00:18:32Father, mother, how do I find you?
00:18:44Princess Alara!
00:18:45There'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?
00:18:52Just to force more people to serve the god of war?
00:18:55Your actions bring nothing but shame to Erest!
00:18:58The Zeus you worship is powerless.
00:19:00Sparta's throne deserves a new ruler.
00:19:02Our leader!
00:19:07Still 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.
00:19:12Let him leave.
00:19:13Just a lowly Majerus.
00:19:15No one will care if he dies.
00:19:17Though you, princess, I've always wondered what it would be like to have you.
00:19:23I'll hold them off!
00:19:24Run while you can!
00:19:40Now it's your turn.
00:20:01Did you save me?
00:20:04Princess, you're awake.
00:20:07Those soldiers, the Erest Seelitz, did they hurt you?
00:20:11No.
00:20:12Thank the gods.
00:20:13But 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, you must guard this knowledge.
00:20:32The beach.
00:20:32Otherwise, the gods will punch you down and destroy you.
00:20:39I've lived on Mount Pelia my whole life, since I was born without a divine spark.
00:20:43I 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 was enough to slip out with you unnoticed.
00:20:52I see.
00:20:54May the gods watch over you.
00:20:58May the gods.
00:21:01May the gods.
00:21:01May the gods.
00:21:04May the gods.
00:21:05May the gods.
00:21:06We've never met before.
00:21:07So why do I feel such a strange sense of closeness to this princess?
00:21:10If father hadn't cast my younger brother into the abyss all those years ago, he would
00:21:14be about this tall now.
00:21:18Princess, where will you go next?
00:21:20Back to the royal palace in Sparta.
00:21:27Lord Zeus, if my child still walks this earth, please protect him and keep him safe.
00:21:35If punishment must fall, let it fall on me.
00:21:39This worthless mother.
00:21:42A god forsaken, outcast without a divine spark?
00:21:46Lycaon.
00:21:47He died in the abyss long ago.
00:21:49Why 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 I fathered a useless son, lacking divine grace.
00:22:01How could I ever hold my head high as a ruler of Greece?
00:22:04My lord, your majesty, Princess Allara has returned.
00:22:08Hey, Lara!
00:22:15Thank you for saving my daughter, young man.
00:22:17No need.
00:22:18I was just passing by, nothing more.
00:22:22A lowly temple magimus.
00:22:24Leaving his temple and coming to Sparta.
00:22:26What 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, this 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.
00:23:06Let me feel the blessed radiance Olympus has bestowed upon our firstborn son.
00:23:18Not only has Zeus refused to bless him, he doesn't even have a divine spark!
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:25Sparta will never tolerate such a godforsaken abomination.
00:23:28If word spreads, our city will be mocked and destroyed.
00:23:30Cast him into the abyss.
00:23:31Tell everyone the child died at birth.
00:23:32No!
00:23:33My baby!
00:23:34My God, you're coming!
00:23:36No!
00:23:38This is the ring I used to seal as his era.
00:23:41My child.
00:23:43The son I thought lost to the ababyss.
00:23:46He's alive.
00:23:51Ha ha!
00:23:52Young man, you saved Princess Ellara.
00:23:55The house 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.
00:24:11Why do I feel such a pull towards her?
00:24:13Could 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.
00:24:29Why won't you let me acknowledge him?
00:24:32That Majakos?
00:24:33He'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,
00:24:46but also lacks a divine spark.
00:24:49How could I uphold Sparta's rule and our family's reputation?
00:24:57Mark my words.
00:24:58No matter what happens,
00:25:00you will never acknowledge him.
00:25:02If you do,
00:25:03I'll charge you both for saccharinj and cast you out of Sparta forever.
00:25:19This sacred monument was carved from divine stone sent by none other than Zeus himself.
00:25:23In 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.
00:25:29To my oath!
00:25:32We should be praying to the gods for more power,
00:25:35instead 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,
00:25:48not fight.
00:25:51I thought as much.
00:25:53A mortal without so much as a trace of a divine spark.
00:25:57Ants Voroas Nush thinks himself grand just from skinning a few beasts.
00:26:03Let me warn you.
00:26:04You got lucky that night.
00:26:06Don't think you'll be able to leech off of the king and queen
00:26:09just because you saved the princess.
00:26:11You're nothing but a stinking worthless nobody,
00:26:13worlds apart from warriors blessed with divine power.
00:26:16Know your place,
00:26:17and crawl back to your temple.
00:26:20Move!
00:26:26Master Chidon was right.
00:26:29Those lofty champions of divine rule
00:26:31are nothing but fools
00:26:32cloaked in hypocrisy and arrogance.
00:26:37Zeus' blessing?
00:26:39Is it truly as unbreakable as they claim?
00:27:09Ares worshippers
00:27:11from the city-state of Arg watch us, greedily caviting our title as Greece's mightiest
00:27:16warrior state. They will likely come to challenge us before long.
00:27:28My...my lord! The sacred monument! How could the monument end up like this?
00:27:38The god is perfectly even. It was split clean with a single blade strike.
00:27:43Even the great Tymius could only leave a half-centimeter mark on this monument. Whoever split it in
00:27:49two wields power far surpassing the peak of divine blessings.
00:27:52My lord! If we could gain the aid of such a mighty figure, we would have nothing to fear
00:27:56from those who worship Ares. Sparta could rise to glory once more and hold fast to our title
00:28:00as Greece's greatest power.
00:28:01Aye, but who in the world could this be?
00:28:05Only Agus came near the monument today. Could it have been him?
00:28:23Agus. I had this armour made for you. Try it on and see if it fits.
00:28:27Oh. Thank you, your majesty. Put it on quickly. My dear son has grown into a noble towering warrior.
00:28:48What's happening? The Reapers of Harry's have come for us.
00:29:02We are all in the world. We wouldn't have capturednings of of
00:29:31Haggis, 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
00:29:41dares intrude on a battle of the god-blessed?
00:29:54Surrender your title as Greece's mightiest warrior state
00:29:58or 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.
00:30:50Zeus' blessings are nothing but a hollow pretense.
00:30:52Lord Aerys' power is the true sovereignty.
00:31:17Father!
00:31:29Monster!
00:31:30Get away from my father!
00:31:36Mother!
00:31:43Now it's my turn.
00:31:54Today, every last Spartan here dies.
00:32:02Ilaran!
00:32:03Ilaran!
00:32:03No!
00:32:06Run!
00:32:08I'll hold him off!
00:32:10Haggis!
00:32:11My son!
00:32:12Run!
00:32:15The queen is my mother.
00:32:19My greatest sin in life was abandoning you at birth.
00:32:22Simply because you didn't have a divine spark
00:32:25forced to yield to divine rule.
00:32:27But to see you grow into such a brave warrior before I die,
00:32:30I have no regrets.
00:32:31My own mother would sacrifice herself just to let me escape.
00:32:38Haggis, my brother!
00:32:40Sparta's ruin is not your burden.
00:32:42Without the god's blessing, you cannot stand against him.
00:32:46Leave now while you can.
00:32:48Go back to Mount Pellae!
00:32:49No wonder I felt such warmth in my blood-stained heart whenever I was near.
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!
00:33:28Let'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!
00:33:49Divorce him at once!
00:33:50She then laid all her cards on the table.
00:33:52To tell you the truth,
00:33:54Celia Lynch is pregnant.
00:33:56The child's father is one of your friends.
00:33:58To your place and sign the divorce agreement right now.
00:34:01I was utterly stunned.
00:34:02Just last night, I won a 100 million USA prizes from football bets.
00:34:05I had even planned to help Timmy Lynch pay off his debt,
00:34:07yet 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.
00:34:14Anyone who doesn't show up is a coward.
00:34:19Now that the creditors had come knocking,
00:34:21the 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.
00:34:28In her eyes, I was just a pathetic man scraping by on a small lottery shop.
00:34:32She had assumed I would drop to my knees and beg the second she brought up divorce.
00:34:37Her face twisted with scorn.
00:34:40Don't put on a brave front.
00:34:42Do 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,
00:34:53speaking in a stern tone.
00:34:56Sign this debt liability document.
00:34:59State clearly in black and white
00:35:01that the 100 million US dollars in gambling debts
00:35:04are solely the responsibility of Zach Lorenz
00:35:06and Celia bears no liability whatsoever.
00:35:10I glanced at the paper
00:35:11and thought it was completely ridiculous.
00:35:13He recklessly bet 50 million US dollars,
00:35:15backing the underdog Sherdrum team
00:35:17to beat the Acontia team.
00:35:18Unsurprisingly, he lost every penny
00:35:20and 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
00:35:28and tossed it into the trash can
00:35:30and retorting coldly,
00:35:31Your brother is the debtor.
00:35:32Go collect the money from him.
00:35:35I agree to a divorce,
00:35:37but 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
00:35:45and 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.
00:35:56You're the one who keeps company with gamblers
00:35:58and ran up a debt of over 100 million.
00:36:01Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:36:05I stared coldly at her hysterical look.
00:36:11We had been married for three years.
00:36:14I toiled from dawn till dusk
00:36:15in my shop less than 200 square meters
00:36:17and handed over every penny I earned to her.
00:36:22Yet she spent my hard-earned money
00:36:24buying luxury items for Edwin.
00:36:26Worse still,
00:36:28she was pregnant with his child.
00:36:31I slowly plied her fingers off.
00:36:37My tone was so calm
00:36:39that even I felt astonished.
00:36:43You can go ask Timmy
00:36:44whether he is really as well-beatinged as you believe.
00:36:47I agree to the divorce.
00:36:48I'll let you be with Edwin.
00:36:57You lowly nobody.
00:36:59Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:01I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:06Errol stormed into the bedroom
00:37:08and began smashing things frantically.
00:37:11You won't sign, will you?
00:37:13Then I'll go cause trouble at your shabby shop
00:37:16and put an end to your business!
00:37:19She grabbed her Hermes handbag
00:37:21and walked straight out the door.
00:37:24Celia followed closely behind,
00:37:26sneering with contempt in her eyes.
00:37:30You lowly nobody.
00:37:31Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:33I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:38The two slammed the door
00:37:39and left in anger.
00:37:40I took a deep breath
00:37:42as I looked around the messy living room.
00:37:49Just then, my phone vibrated.
00:37:51A message from the lottery center
00:37:53reminded me to keep the winning ticket
00:37:55worth 120 million US dollars safe
00:37:57and to the city center
00:37:58to claim the prize as soon as Pucetly.
00:38:00I touched the lottery ticket
00:38:02hidden close to my body.
00:38:08Since you've dug your own graves,
00:38:10don't blame me for letting things run their course.
00:38:16The owner of this shop
00:38:18gambles illegally
00:38:19and owes hundreds of millions
00:38:20in loan shark debts!
00:38:26Zack had just arrived
00:38:27around the corner by taxi
00:38:28when loud shouting
00:38:29and abuse
00:38:30assaulted his ears.
00:38:31Mariel Unley
00:38:32stood at the shop entrance
00:38:33with a megaphone,
00:38:34shouting for all to hear.
00:38:36Come one, come all!
00:38:38The owner of this shop
00:38:39gambles illegally
00:38:40and owes hundreds of millions
00:38:42in loan shark debts!
00:38:43He'll even drag his wife
00:38:44and child down with him!
00:38:48Regular customers
00:38:49who were checking
00:38:49the lottery results inside
00:38:50were utterly shocked.
00:38:52They gathered at the door,
00:38:53whispering and pointing.
00:38:54I never thought
00:38:55he'd be someone like this.
00:39:01Eyes glistening
00:39:02with feigned tears,
00:39:03Celia Lynch
00:39:04held up her phone
00:39:05to start a live stream,
00:39:06putting on a wronged expression
00:39:07for the camera.
00:39:13Hello, everyone!
00:39:14This is my cold-hearted
00:39:16ex-husband!
00:39:18I chose to leave
00:39:19with nothing
00:39:20just to end our marriage.
00:39:31I pushed through the crowd
00:39:33and strode into the shop.
00:39:37I won't let you
00:39:39get away with this
00:39:40unless you pay the money
00:39:42today!
00:39:44Stop causing trouble
00:39:46in my shop.
00:39:48instead of backing down,
00:39:50Meryl grew even more
00:39:51reckless when she saw me.
00:39:59I won't let you
00:40:01get away with this
00:40:02unless you pay the money
00:40:04today!
00:40:05Today!
00:40:08As it happens,
00:40:09I have matters to settle
00:40:10with you two as well.
00:40:15I pulled the receipt
00:40:16for the TV
00:40:16out of my wallet.
00:40:25This television
00:40:26costs 800 US dollars.
00:40:29I will call the police
00:40:31and demand full compensation
00:40:32from you.
00:40:37hundreds of millions
00:40:38in debt!
00:40:39He'll probably end up
00:40:40rotting in prison
00:40:42for the rest of his life!
00:40:49Go ahead and call the police!
00:40:51You owe hundreds of millions
00:40:52to loanharks
00:40:53and they'll arrest you,
00:40:55the fraudners,
00:40:56the second they show up!
00:40:57She planted her hands
00:40:58on her hisps,
00:40:59turned to the onlookers
00:41:00and raised her voice.
00:41:05Everyone!
00:41:06Be the judge!
00:41:09This man lost
00:41:10hundreds of millions
00:41:11on sports betting,
00:41:12yet now he tries
00:41:13to extort
00:41:14800 dollars
00:41:15from me
00:41:16for damages!
00:41:17A cold-blooded
00:41:18scoundrel like him
00:41:19deserves his
00:41:20come-up-in!
00:41:21Murmurs broke out
00:41:22among the crowd.
00:41:23Several elderly regulars
00:41:24who often bought
00:41:25lottery tickets here
00:41:26stared at me
00:41:26doubtfully.
00:41:27He always seemed
00:41:28honest enough.
00:41:30I never thought
00:41:31he'd be such
00:41:32a reckless gambler.
00:41:34Hundreds of millions
00:41:35in debt!
00:41:36He'll probably end up
00:41:37rotting in prison
00:41:38for the rest of his life!
00:41:49Celia held up her phone,
00:41:52aiming the camera
00:41:53straight at me.
00:41:59The child you carry
00:42:00is Edwin's.
00:42:01If you can't stand
00:42:02the hardship,
00:42:03go to him.
00:42:04Why put on a show
00:42:05in my shop?
00:42:06Comments flooded
00:42:06the livestream rapidly,
00:42:08with Netsits
00:42:08jerling insults
00:42:09and trashing me
00:42:10relentlessly.
00:42:12Celia spoke
00:42:13in a tearful voice.
00:42:17Zack, if you sign
00:42:18the debt agreement
00:42:19and admit
00:42:19this is your
00:42:20personal liability,
00:42:21I'll leave it once
00:42:22and never bother
00:42:22you again.
00:42:23As she spoke,
00:42:25the stream was
00:42:26soon filled
00:42:26with sympathetic
00:42:27comments and gifs.
00:42:29Watching her
00:42:30clumsy,
00:42:31hypocritical act,
00:42:32I snired coldly.
00:42:33The child you carry
00:42:34is Edwin's.
00:42:35If you can't
00:42:36stand the hardship,
00:42:37go to him.
00:42:38Why put on a show
00:42:39in my shop?
00:42:41My voice was quiet
00:42:43yet clear enough
00:42:43for everyone present
00:42:44and all viewers
00:42:45online to hear.
00:42:48The noisy crowd
00:42:50fell dead silent
00:42:51for a moment,
00:42:52then broke
00:42:52into louder murmurs.
00:42:55Celia froze on the spot,
00:42:56panic flashing
00:42:57across her eyes.
00:43:07Zack!
00:43:08What's going on?
00:43:10Why is everything
00:43:11in such a mess here?
00:43:21Celia quickly
00:43:22composed herself,
00:43:23tears streaming
00:43:24down her cheek.
00:43:28You lack ability
00:43:30yourself,
00:43:30yet you forcefully
00:43:31accused me
00:43:31out of nowhere!
00:43:35Ah!
00:43:40Enraged by her words,
00:43:42Meryl charged forward
00:43:43and grabbed
00:43:43at my clothes.
00:43:46You heartless brute!
00:43:49You got your own issues
00:43:52and still you dare
00:43:54to deface my daughter!
00:43:59Just then,
00:44:00an anxious voice rang out
00:44:02from beyond the crowd.
00:44:14I spun around
00:44:16and saw my mother Darla
00:44:17pushing her way
00:44:18through the crowd
00:44:18with difficulty,
00:44:19a thermal container
00:44:21in her hand.
00:44:24in-law!
00:44:26Just look at
00:44:27what your son
00:44:27has done!
00:44:30She had gone
00:44:31to the hospital
00:44:32for a blood pressure
00:44:33check today
00:44:33and dropped by
00:44:34the shop
00:44:35on her way back
00:44:35with some
00:44:36homemade soup.
00:44:40Stepping inside
00:44:41and seeing
00:44:42the total mess
00:44:42with the broken
00:44:43television
00:44:44lying on the floor,
00:44:46mother's hands
00:44:46shook uncontrollably.
00:44:54Dear in-law,
00:44:56you can resolve
00:44:57disputes
00:44:57through discussion.
00:44:59How could you
00:45:00bandish other
00:45:01race property
00:45:01like this?
00:45:02She hurried forward
00:45:03to pull Meryl aside.
00:45:06Burning with rage
00:45:07and eager
00:45:07to vent her anger,
00:45:09Meryl roughly
00:45:09shook off her hand
00:45:10and smeared.
00:45:19in-law!
00:45:20Just look at
00:45:21what your son
00:45:22has done!
00:45:23He's run up
00:45:24massive gambling debts
00:45:25and now tries
00:45:26to drag my daughter
00:45:28into paying
00:45:29them off!
00:45:33Mother turned
00:45:34deathly pale
00:45:35at once.
00:45:36What?
00:45:37Hundreds of
00:45:38millions in debt?
00:45:41Zack,
00:45:42what on earth
00:45:42is going on?
00:45:45Let me tell
00:45:46you the truth,
00:45:47old woman.
00:45:48This child
00:45:49isn't your sons
00:45:50at all.
00:45:52I supported
00:45:53my mother
00:45:53and explained
00:45:54in a low voice.
00:45:56Mom,
00:45:57don't listen
00:45:58to her nonsense.
00:45:59The debt
00:45:59was incurred
00:46:00by Timmy.
00:46:01It's nothing
00:46:02to lease with me.
00:46:06Everyone
00:46:06take a good look.
00:46:07this is
00:46:09the gambler's
00:46:09mother.
00:46:14Zack would
00:46:15never gamble.
00:46:16You're pregnant
00:46:16so don't get upset.
00:46:18Let's talk
00:46:18this over
00:46:19calmly.
00:46:21Soft-hearted
00:46:22as ever,
00:46:22she still cared
00:46:23about the
00:46:24unborn child.
00:46:26A malicious
00:46:27smirk
00:46:28tugged
00:46:28at Celia's
00:46:29lips.
00:46:30She leaned
00:46:30close to
00:46:31my mother's
00:46:32ear
00:46:32and spoke
00:46:33slowly.
00:46:34Let me tell
00:46:35you the truth,
00:46:35old woman.
00:46:37This child
00:46:38isn't your sons
00:46:39at all.
00:46:40It belongs
00:46:41to his friend
00:46:42Edwin.
00:46:43Your family line
00:46:45ends here.
00:46:46My mother's
00:46:46eyes widened.
00:46:48Mom!
00:46:53Mom!
00:46:55Call an ambulance
00:46:56right away!
00:46:59Hey!
00:47:00Hey!
00:47:01Hey!
00:47:05Hey!
00:47:05We all witness
00:47:06this.
00:47:07Their whole
00:47:08family is
00:47:08staging a
00:47:09sp-
00:47:23Honey,
00:47:24I'll defend
00:47:24you.
00:47:26We used
00:47:26to be friends
00:47:27after all.
00:47:28Take this money
00:47:29for your mother's
00:47:29medical capement.
00:47:30The rest
00:47:31is for milk
00:47:32petter for
00:47:32Celia's
00:47:33unborn child.
00:47:36Step aside!
00:47:37Everyone move
00:47:38back!
00:47:45The bank
00:47:46coats hit me
00:47:46hard in the face
00:47:47and scattered
00:47:48into the spilled
00:47:48soup on the
00:47:49floor, soon
00:47:50covered in
00:47:50greasy stains.
00:47:51I stared
00:47:52firmly at
00:47:52Edwin Grant's
00:47:53insolent face.
00:47:57Cutting
00:47:58through the
00:47:58bustle of
00:47:59the street.
00:48:04Step aside!
00:48:06Everyone move
00:48:06back!
00:48:15Treat my
00:48:16mother immediately.
00:48:19As the door
00:48:20slid shut, I
00:48:21caught sight
00:48:21through the
00:48:21window of
00:48:22Edwin Grant
00:48:22Grant, throwing
00:48:23a victory sign
00:48:24towards the
00:48:25live stream
00:48:25camera, while
00:48:26Celia Lynch
00:48:27leaned against
00:48:28his chest
00:48:28with a
00:48:28triumphant
00:48:29smile on
00:48:29her face.
00:48:31$20,000?
00:48:41The patient
00:48:42has suffered
00:48:42a severe
00:48:43cerebral
00:48:43hemorrhage
00:48:44and needs
00:48:44an immediate
00:48:44craniotomy.
00:48:45A deposit
00:48:46of $20,000
00:48:46must be paid
00:48:47first.
00:48:51I
00:48:53don't
00:48:54money
00:48:54to
00:48:54don't
00:48:55have
00:48:55any
00:48:55money

00:48:57don't
00:48:58money
00:49:03to
00:49:04$20,000.
00:49:16$20,000.
00:49:17All my
00:49:18savings were
00:49:18kept by
00:49:19Celia Lynch.
00:49:20She had
00:49:20even
00:49:20secretly
00:49:20changed
00:49:21the
00:49:21password
00:49:21of the
00:49:22bank
00:49:22card
00:49:22for
00:49:22monthly
00:49:22business
00:49:23revenue.
00:49:24Right then, apart from the winning lottery ticket worth $120 million hidden close to my body,
00:49:29I did not even have $200 on me.
00:49:31The prize claim process would take time.
00:49:33Even 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 ribo-hepardage.
00:49:44I need $20,000 for her surgery.
00:49:46Right away. You could lend me the money to throw 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 livestream that you owe hundreds of millions in gambling debts.
00:50:09Our small sum of money won't make any difference.
00:50:11You'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 livestream 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.
00:51:11I already gave you a fresh one. How could you eat a hot dog off the ground?
00:51:15I just...
00:51:16Don't stop me!
00:51:18Lucas.
00:51:22That's my mother.
00:51:24She 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.
00:51:37Boss, 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.
00:51:53Just breaks my heart.
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:58No idea who his dad is.
00:51:59What 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? You're still just a kid. Here, take it. Don't feel bad, okay?
00:52:11Just stay strong and pay it forward when you can.
00:52:19Thank you. I promise I'll repay you.
00:52:26Go on, go find your mom.
00:52:45Let's go, mom.
00:52:49Come 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.
00:53:24Why does she look so familiar?
00:53:33I know you.
00:53:35Alexander.
00:53:35You're Alexander.
00:53:39Who doesn't know Alexander Clark?
00:53:42You're just pretending to be crazy to get money, aren't you?
00:53:45Mom!
00:53:47Cinda, what are you doing here?
00:53:49Saw your car while I was shopping.
00:53:52So I thought, why not say hi?
00:53:58Eww, a woman like her. Filthy, trashy, no-buns. They don't deserve your kindness. You're too soft, Alexander.
00:54:20Thanks.
00:54:30Want to see what's underneath?
00:54:40Ryan, will you marry me?
00:54:44Yes!
00:54:47You're the only one I'll ever love. I'll give you everything. I promise.
00:54:54I love you, Alexander. All I need is you.
00:55:08Alexander!
00:55:10Alexander!
00:55:11Mom! Mom, what's wrong?
00:55:14What's happening to her?
00:55:16She's obviously crazy. Let's get out of here fast.
00:55:20Alexander.
00:55:23But she's saying my name. How would she ever know me?
00:55:26Everyone in Tech City knows who you are. They'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! It's me!
00:55:44You crazy woman! I know you've got an ulterior motive. How dare you even lay a finger on Alexander?
00:55:50You need to apologize to my mom!
00:55:55People like you are nothing but scammers. Pretending to know Alexander just to steal his money. Disgusting trash.
00:56:06I must be out of my mind. How could I think that woman was Brianna? Brianna was always so gentle.
00:56:12And she's been dead for years.
00:56:13I know you. I know you!
00:56:15Miss, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you.
00:56:18I only stopped because I felt sorry for you and your son.
00:56:21No, you do know me. I'm...
00:56:26Mom! Mom, are you okay?
00:56:31But I know you. I know you.
00:56:33Alexander, let's go. This is just a pity act to swan your sympathy and your money.
00:56:38Sir, Miss Cinda's right. People like them will do anything for cash.
00:56:42My mom doesn't lie!
00:56:44You pushed her! She got hurt because of you!
00:56:47Still playing games?
00:56:49You touched this?
00:56:51Are you out of your mind? This 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! Say sorry to my mom right now!
00:57:02Stop!
00:57:05Kid, you belong in school. Not out here hustling strangers with your mom.
00:57:09We're not liars! You don't get to talk about my mom like that.
00:57:12No one's buying it. Tell your mom to quit the act. She's not even good at pretending.
00:57:19It's not your fault. After all, you have such an irresponsible mother.
00:57:23Don't you dare talk about my mom like that! She'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.
00:57:42Stop this madness dragging your son into it. You're ruining that child.
00:57:46Take this. Use it to send him to school.
00:57:55Money!
00:57:56So much money.
00:57:58Mom! We can't take this!
00:58:01I need it!
00:58:03Money!
00:58:03See, Alexander? I told you. Crocodile tears and open hands. Classic scammer move.
00:58:08Boss, she's clearly faking it. Why waste your time?
00:58:11I pitied the kid. Not her. Let's go.
00:58:14Little bastard. Lucky today.
00:58:18With this money, I can save Alexander. I can pay for his surgery.
00:58:24Alexander, I have money now.
00:58:31Mom, please help! Somebody help my mom!
00:58:36Boss, they're acting again. Don't fall for it.
00:58:38Alexander, let's just forget about them.
00:58:40I bet that French place you love, after dinner, concert.
00:58:44Don't touch me. I've told you. I don't want you.
00:58:46The only woman I've ever loved is Brianna.
00:58:48Alexander, Brianna's dead!
00:58:50Mom!
00:58:50Next time I see you, it better be business.
00:58:52Nothing else.
00:58:56Filthy beggars!
00:58:57They ruined everything!
00:58:59Mom, please, wake up!
00:59:09Please, save my mom.
00:59:35No!
00:59:36No! No!
00:59:38I've seen her before.
00:59:46Don't!
00:59:47Touch me!
00:59:48Get away!
00:59:49Touch me!
00:59:49Don't touch me!
00:59:50No!
00:59:51No!
00:59:51No!
00:59:52No!
00:59:57Mom, it's okay.
00:59:58You're safe now.
00:59:59We'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?
01:00:27Any family?
01:00:28No clue.
01:00:29Just that poor kid.
01:00:31Her mind was already fragile.
01:00:32Something pushed her over the edge.
01:00:33Probably a huge shock.
01:00:36I know you!
01:00:37Alexander!
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.
01:00:46And important meds.
01:00:48Without it,
01:00:49she wouldn't last more than a few days.
01:00:51Then 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.
01:01:09I sold scrap.
01:01:12This is all I got.
01:01:13Can it buy medicine?
01:01:16I'll pay for it.
01:01:17Just, please!
01:01:18Get her the meds!
01:01:19Do something!
01:01:20Do something!
01:01:22That drug's still in development.
01:01:23Clark 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.
01:01:30If 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?
01:01:36Clark?
01:01:37The 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.
01:01:49I'll find a way to save you.
01:01:57Please!
01:01:58I need to see Mr. Clark!
01:02:00You think just anyone can meet Mr. Clark?
01:02:02Get lost!
01:02:03Hey!
01:02:07I said get out of here, kid!
01:02:23Jesus!
01:02:24Are you trying to get yourself killed?
01:02:26Please!
01:02:26Do 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!
01:02:35I'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!
01:03:11Brianna, I miss you so much.
01:03:17Alexander, 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.
01:03:27You really gonna die alone for a ghost?
01:03:29Yes.
01:03:30In this life, she's the only one I'll ever marry.
01:03:33Alexander, enough!
01:03:34This ends now!
01:03:37It's okay, Mr. Clark.
01:03:39If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave.
01:03:41No, Cinda.
01:03:42You're staying.
01:03:43I don't care how stubborn he is.
01:03:45I'll make him marry you.
01:03:58Then 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.
01:04:18Get 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.
01:04:30He's awful.
01:04:32But Mom needs that medicine.
01:04:34If I just beg hard enough,
01:04:36maybe he'll help us.
01:04:47Sir, there's a kid outside
01:04:49asking for Mr. Alexander.
01:04:51Kid?
01:04:51In 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?
01:05:13Why are you looking for Alexander?
01:05:15I need medicine.
01:05:17For my mom.
01:05:19She'll die without it.
01:05:23Your mom?
01:05:24What'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.
01:05:47But my mom's running out of time.
01:05:52Kid, wait!
01:05:54Nate, did you see that kid?
01:05:55He looks exactly like Alexander did
01:05:57when he was seven.
01:05:59No doubt.
01:06:01If you want to be sure, sir,
01:06:02we can test the hair on that towel.
01:06:05Do it.
01:06:07If he really is Alexander's son,
01:06:08we 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.
01:06:29Where is it?
01:06:32Sir, our wedding ring is gone!
01:06:34Everyone here knows how much it means to you.
01:06:36No one would touch it.
01:06:37It's all I have left of Brianna.
01:06:39It can't just vanish.
01:06:40Put out a reward.
01:06:41Anyone 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.
01:07:03But 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.
01:07:20Sir!
01:07:21The ring!
01:07:22It's been found!
01:07:25Where 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!
01:07:49You again?
01:07:52Is this the ring you're looking for?
01:07:59Sir!
01:08:00That's your missing ring!
01:08:01This little thief stole it!
01:08:03I didn't steal it!
01:08:04I found it!
01:08:05Cut the crap!
01:08:06The boss's ring was kept safely in the drawer.
01:08:09There's no way you just happened to find it.
01:08:10I 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.
01:08:15You're thieves too.
01:08:16It was my mom's!
01:08:18I need Clark meds for her!
01:08:19That's why I...
01:08:19That ring was Mr. Alexander's wedding ring for his late fiancee!
01:08:23What's your mom got to do with it?
01:08:25We let you off once.
01:08:26Now this?
01:08:26You know how much this means to him!
01:08:34Hand it over.
01:08:35Now.
01:08:37I didn't steal it.
01:08:38You can have it, but please, give me the medicine first.
01:08:42I don't deal with thieves.
01:08:43You're not worth it.
01:08:44Give it to me!
01:08:55Give it back!
01:09:01This ring?
