00:00:07Miss Ross, my boss wants to have a little chat with you.
00:00:13Great real estate Chicago queen, in my dump? Hell, you're raising the property value.
00:00:19Kidnapping a public company's CEO? Frankie, you're playing with fire. The FBI will come for you.
00:00:24Don't try to scare me with a bunch of badge-wearing rats.
00:00:27Down here, we run things our way. Here's the deal. Sign Ross Group over to me, or put someone in
00:00:33that cage with Grizzlies.
00:00:35Win, we're square. Lose, I own everything. Including you.
00:00:47Dad, this place is awesome! They're fighting!
00:00:50Wrong door. This isn't the way out.
00:00:53How dare you touch her!
00:01:04Help me. Name your price.
00:01:08I've made my choice. He'll fight for me.
00:01:13Emily, did the scare break your brain?
00:01:16Grizzly's a 13-time champion. Where the hell did you dig up this homeless bum?
00:01:20What are you idiots laughing at? My dad's super strong!
00:01:24Come on then, bum! I'll even give you three shots!
00:01:30No! Stop! You can't beat him! I'm calling it off! Frankie!
00:01:44Go get him, Dad! Knock their teeth at me!
00:01:56Love the stairs!
00:01:59Come!
00:02:15Okay, let's forge the armor, and gether up!
00:02:23Daddy, let's head over there.
00:02:31Wait!
00:02:37I'd be dead without you.
00:02:39I'm Emily Ross.
00:02:41Be my personal bodyguard.
00:02:43Name your price.
00:02:44Anything.
00:02:45Whatever my dad wants, does that mean
00:02:47lots of lollipops?
00:02:51Enough to buy the whole candy store.
00:02:53Deal!
00:02:54My dad accepts!
00:02:56Lily.
00:02:57Dad, you still owe me three lollipops
00:03:00from last month.
00:03:01This counts as repayment.
00:03:05Damien Vale,
00:03:06and this is Lily.
00:03:08She already took your offer,
00:03:10so I'm your temporary bodyguard.
00:03:12Daily rate.
00:03:14Deal.
00:03:21Emily, I told you to find Zero,
00:03:23and instead you brought home a homeless guy?
00:03:26God, what's that smell?
00:03:30His name is Damien.
00:03:31He saved my life today.
00:03:33From now on, he's with me.
00:03:35With you?
00:03:36Your people dress like that now?
00:03:38You're the CEO of Ross Group, Emily,
00:03:40not running a homeless shelter.
00:03:42He's my personal bodyguard.
00:03:44He can protect me.
00:03:45So what?
00:03:46The sharks have hundreds of guns.
00:03:48Tell me, what the hell is one man supposed to do?
00:03:52Only Zero can save this company.
00:03:54We need to find him,
00:03:56not drag home some guard dog.
00:03:57My daddy is Zero!
00:04:02Lily,
00:04:04don't say things like that.
00:04:06But I'm not lying.
00:04:07Daddy really is.
00:04:11You really shouldn't teach kids to lie.
00:04:13If Zero ever hears about this,
00:04:14we're finished.
00:04:15I'm Damien.
00:04:16Your daughter hired me
00:04:18as temporary security.
00:04:19I'm only responsible
00:04:20for keeping her safe.
00:04:24A bodyguard?
00:04:25Emily, are you insane?
00:04:27We need Zero,
00:04:28not some filthy drifter.
00:04:30What can this loser even do?
00:04:33Listen carefully.
00:04:35The sharks are ruthless killers.
00:04:39Have you ever even held a gun?
00:04:41Can you actually protect my daughter?
00:04:43Dad, no!
00:04:47What's so funny?
00:04:48You think I'm joking?
00:04:50A street bomb claiming to be Zero?
00:04:53Chicago knows Zero
00:04:54could wipe out the sharks alone.
00:04:57You?
00:04:57You're just trash!
00:04:59Robert,
00:04:59why bother talking to this garbage?
00:05:01Throw him out already.
00:05:03Fine.
00:05:04If you really have skills,
00:05:06use this gun to prove it.
00:05:08Hit this coin with a single shot
00:05:10and you can stay.
00:05:11I'm not here to be your circus act.
00:05:13What's wrong?
00:05:15Scared?
00:05:16I knew it!
00:05:17He's a liar!
00:05:18Emily, you actually fell for this loser!
00:05:20Enough!
00:05:20He saved my life.
00:05:22Don't push it!
00:05:23Saved your life?
00:05:24He just got lucky, that's all.
00:05:26You seriously think he can protect you?
00:05:29Either prove yourself
00:05:30or get the hell out of my house.
00:05:32The Ross family doesn't need some loudmouth.
00:05:34Miss Ross,
00:05:36it seems your family doesn't want us here, so...
00:05:39No, Damien.
00:05:39Don't listen to them.
00:05:42Dad,
00:05:43make them shut up.
00:05:46Throw the coin higher.
00:05:47You ask?
00:05:52Look at him.
00:05:54A fucking blowhore.
00:05:55He can't even handle a gun,
00:05:57and he calls himself a bodyguard?
00:05:59I don't use weapons in front of my kid.
00:06:01This'll do.
00:06:06What the...
00:06:07He...
00:06:08He used a coin?
00:06:09With a fork?
00:06:11Yay!
00:06:11Daddy wins again!
00:06:18This room's been all set up for you.
00:06:21Damien,
00:06:21I'm sorry.
00:06:22My parents were out of line.
00:06:23Doesn't matter.
00:06:24Why are you so desperate to find Zero?
00:06:26The sharks are hunting Ross.
00:06:27If we want to survive,
00:06:29we must find Zero.
00:06:30He's our only shield.
00:06:31Ross' group is collapsing.
00:06:33My family will be ruined overnight.
00:06:35But honestly,
00:06:36in those clothes,
00:06:37nobody's gonna be your Zero.
00:06:39And you?
00:06:39Do you believe it?
00:06:40I only trust signed ink.
00:06:42But until then,
00:06:44keep me and my family alive.
00:06:59Don't move.
00:07:00Don't scream.
00:07:01Miss Ross,
00:07:02Boss Frankie,
00:07:02the time for talking is over.
00:07:06Sign the acquisition papers,
00:07:08and your parents live.
00:07:09How many times do I have to tell you?
00:07:11Ross' group isn't for sale.
00:07:13My boss says negotiations are over tonight.
00:07:16Sign it,
00:07:16or I'll put your mother down first,
00:07:18then your father.
00:07:19Please,
00:07:20don't.
00:07:20I...
00:07:21I'll sign.
00:07:23Someone upstairs?
00:07:24No.
00:07:25No one.
00:07:26You're lying.
00:07:27Take me upstairs.
00:07:28Cops up there?
00:07:29You know what happens.
00:07:30Move.
00:07:31Don't try anything stupid.
00:07:33Find one more person in this house.
00:07:35I'm breaking both his legs
00:07:36before we even talk contract.
00:07:38No.
00:07:38Can't let him find Damien and Lily.
00:07:40No.
00:07:43No.
00:07:48Who the hell are you?
00:07:50You woke my daughter.
00:07:54That ring...
00:07:56You're...
00:07:56Zero?
00:08:01He works for us!
00:08:03A maintenance guy we just hired!
00:08:05Son of a bitch!
00:08:06I put on a fake ring just to freak me out!
00:08:09You're the janitor!
00:08:10What the hell are you doing
00:08:11sneaking around the storage room at night?
00:08:12Get out of here!
00:08:13Now!
00:08:13Holy shit!
00:08:15Some damn maintenance worker!

00:08:32Boss!

00:08:35You okay?
00:08:36If you hadn't stopped me,
00:08:37he'd be a dead man by now.
00:08:38He had a gun!
00:08:39Still playing the hero?
00:08:40If I hadn't pulled my piece,

00:09:03I could die there.
00:09:04How the hell could I sleep?
00:09:06Honestly,
00:09:07this is nothing.
00:09:07I can take care of it for you.
00:09:09You actually think you're Zero or something?
00:09:11A guy like Zero
00:09:12doesn't just show up
00:09:13at some underground fight club,
00:09:15and he sure as hell
00:09:16doesn't owe some little girl candy.
00:09:18Don't throw your life away

00:09:53I saw you two hugging
00:09:54on the balcony last night,
00:09:56kissing.
00:09:57We didn't kiss.
00:09:57I saw you were so close.
00:09:59Your lips almost touched.
00:10:01You kissed her,
00:10:01so she's my mommy.
00:10:04Lily,

00:10:27Miss Ross,

00:10:30You people have been very bad.
00:10:32Makes me unhappy.
00:10:33So today,
00:10:34we play a little game.
00:10:36Russian roulette.
00:10:37Everyone here takes turns
00:10:39putting this gun to their head
00:10:41and pulling the trigger.
00:10:42Whoever catches the bullet,
00:10:43tough luck.
00:10:44Well,

00:10:53Well,
00:10:54interesting.
00:11:11Emily,
00:11:11don't do this!
00:11:13Father,
00:11:15this is the only way.
00:11:16Impressive.
00:11:17Ross Group has hundreds of people
00:11:18and the only one with any guts
00:11:20is a woman.
00:11:21Robert Ross,
00:11:22the great patriarch.

00:11:29Come work for me.
00:11:30You'll be living large.
00:11:32Why throw your life away
00:11:33for trash like this?
00:11:34That's not your concern.
00:11:35You're serious, sweetheart.
00:11:36You join me,
00:11:37the Sharks and the Rosses,
00:11:38we be one.
00:11:39No more fear every day.
00:11:40Frankie,
00:11:41if you've got the balls,
00:11:42play the game yourself.
00:11:43Stop sitting there watching the show.
00:11:45What did you just say?
00:11:50No!
00:11:52Now that's courage.
00:11:54Emily Ross,
00:11:55I'm starting to respect you.
00:11:57Stand with me.
00:11:58We could run this Chicago together.
00:12:00Next.
00:12:01So who's next?
00:12:04Fine.
00:12:05Then I'll do it again.
00:12:09Two shots.
00:12:11Oh my God!
00:12:13Four shots.
00:12:15Six chambers.
00:12:16And you burned through four blanks.
00:12:19That means the next shot's 50-50.
00:12:22Still feeling brave?
00:12:25I'll do it.
00:12:28Enough.
00:12:30I'll take the next shot.
00:12:32No!
00:12:33This shot is still mine!
00:12:38Mommy, don't!
00:12:47Mommy!
00:12:56How the hell did you get here?
00:12:58Who told you to come?
00:13:00I told you already.
00:13:01I'll handle it.
00:13:05You've got some nerves showing up here!
00:13:07If it weren't for you,
00:13:09Emily would have found Zero by now!
00:13:11You fraud!
00:13:12You wasted our time!
00:13:14Now she has a gun to her head
00:13:16and you just show up?
00:13:18To watch her die?
00:13:19If it weren't for you,
00:13:21Emily wouldn't be gambling her life away
00:13:22in this hellhole.
00:13:24Three months.
00:13:25We spent three months hunting for Zero.
00:13:28We were this close
00:13:29and you ruined it!
00:13:30You liar!
00:13:30Get the hell out!
00:13:33You spent three months hunting for Zero.
00:13:35He's standing right in front of you
00:13:37and you still can't see it?
00:13:39Stop performing.
00:13:42Interesting.
00:13:44Seriously, this is hilarious.
00:13:46A homeless bruh gets lucky
00:13:48against Grizzly once
00:13:49and suddenly he thinks he's Zero?
00:13:51Do you even know who Zero is?
00:13:53You're Zero?
00:13:54Then I'm the mayor of Chicago.
00:13:57To deal with you.
00:13:59One finger's all I need.
00:14:03Say that again!
00:14:04Enough!
00:14:06Putting yourself in danger wasn't enough.
00:14:08You actually brought Lily here too.
00:14:11Leave.
00:14:12Right now.
00:14:14I'm your bodyguard.
00:14:15I stay by your side.
00:14:17Bodyguard?
00:14:17Fine.
00:14:18Then consider this official.
00:14:20You're fired.
00:14:21Right now.
00:14:22Take Lily and get as far away
00:14:23from here as possible.
00:14:25Don't send us away, Mommy.
00:14:27I'm not your mommy.
00:14:28A gun to your head
00:14:29didn't faze you, Emily.
00:14:30But this street rat shows up
00:14:32and you lose your mind?
00:14:34Who is he?
00:14:35What are you scared of?
00:14:37You scared he's gonna die here?
00:14:40I gave you so many chances
00:14:42and you'd rather flirt with some street rat
00:14:44than even look my way.
00:14:45Well, fine.
00:14:47Game's not over yet.
00:14:49Let's make up for that last shot.
00:14:56Goodbye, Miss Ross.
00:14:59Mommy!
00:15:07Five.
00:15:09Six chambers.
00:15:11Five empty.
00:15:13Emily Ross.
00:15:14You are one lucky bitch.
00:15:17Take her.
00:15:18Go!
00:15:19Go?
00:15:20A gun to your head
00:15:22and you don't even flinch.
00:15:23But you lose it over this bum
00:15:25and this kid?
00:15:26Funny.
00:15:28Really funny.
00:15:29Since you're so attached to them,
00:15:31I'll put a bullet through the kid first,
00:15:33then this bum.
00:15:36Are you deaf?
00:15:38Get Lily out of here!
00:15:40No!
00:15:42You hear that?
00:15:43You're a jinx!
00:15:45If you hadn't blocked us from finding Zero,
00:15:47we wouldn't be here!
00:15:48And you're just standing there
00:15:49getting Emily killed?
00:15:50Are you trying to get her killed?
00:15:51Get all of us killed?
00:15:53As long as I'm standing,
00:15:55neither of them gets touched.
00:15:56Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:59You're nobody!
00:16:00A trash bum!
00:16:02Think you can stop a bullet?
00:16:04Enough.
00:16:07This whole circus is getting old.
00:16:09No point arguing anymore.
00:16:13You're all done.
00:16:16Emily!
00:16:24He's Zero!
00:16:28Only Zero can freeze bullets mid-air!
00:16:36No.
00:16:37No way.
00:16:40Fake.
00:16:41Has to be fake.
00:16:43Zero?
00:16:44Wasting his time on this pathetic Ross family mess?
00:16:47Bullshit!
00:16:48The man won't even meet the governor!
00:16:50Ha ha ha!
00:16:50You expect me to believe he's here,
00:16:53looking like a street rat?
00:16:54Ha ha!
00:16:55You're a fraud!
00:16:56That ring is fake,
00:16:57and that bullet-stopping trick
00:16:58is some high-tech illusion, right?
00:17:00You're the liar.
00:17:00You can't even hit anything
00:17:02and you're still making excuses.
00:17:04My dad's way better than you.
00:17:06Shut up,
00:17:07you little brat!
00:17:08Your cigar's all chewed up
00:17:09and your neck is bright red,
00:17:11like a tomato.
00:17:13Ha ha ha!
00:17:15I'm gonna blow that rat's head off right now!
00:17:24Let go!
00:17:29Tell me again,
00:17:32who exactly did you say
00:17:34you wanted dead?
00:17:41Pull that trigger.
00:17:42I'll break his neck
00:17:44before the bullet lands.
00:17:48Lower them!
00:17:49You wanna watch me die?!
00:17:53Mr. Tomato?
00:17:55Why aren't you smiling anymore?
00:17:57Listen carefully.
00:17:59The Ross group is off the table,
00:18:01forever.
00:18:02We clear?
00:18:03I...
00:18:04I...
00:18:04I don't make those calls.
00:18:06Then you die.

00:18:21Why should we gamble with you?
00:18:23The Ross group
00:18:23isn't some chip to bet with.
00:18:25You're insane!
00:18:26Absolutely not.
00:18:27The fate of the Ross group
00:18:28isn't something
00:18:29you can gamble on.
00:18:30If you're scared,

00:18:33and see if any of you
00:18:34make it out alive.
00:18:35If I die,
00:18:35everybody dies with me.

00:18:38at least there's a chance
00:18:38to walk out of here alive.

00:22:28You can't do this.
00:22:30Are you insane?
00:22:31You've completely
00:22:32lost your mind.
00:22:34My father built
00:22:35Ross group from nothing.
00:22:37Thirty years of
00:22:38blood and sweat.
00:22:39Hundreds of lives
00:22:40depend on it.
00:22:41And you're just
00:22:41gambling away?
00:22:43Who the hell
00:22:43do you think you are?
00:22:45Who are you?
00:22:46This is the
00:22:47Ross family legacy.
00:22:49And you,
00:22:50some outsider.
00:22:51A goddamn bodyguard.
00:22:53Who gave you the right
00:22:54to risk this company
00:22:55like you own it?
00:22:56Emily!
00:22:57Just look at him.
00:22:59He's a gambler.
00:23:00A loose cannon.
00:23:02How much longer
00:23:03are you gonna let him
00:23:04string you along?
00:23:05You're the CEO.
00:23:06Say something.
00:23:07Call off the bet.
00:23:09Now.
00:23:09This isn't gambling.
00:23:11This is playing
00:23:11with all our lives.
00:23:13If the Ross group
00:23:13becomes the bill group,
00:23:15we're all on the street
00:23:16by tomorrow.
00:23:17We should have
00:23:17stopped him.
00:23:18He's totally clueless.
00:23:19Swapping all five cards.
00:23:21This isn't a bet.
00:23:22It's suicide.
00:23:24Interesting.
00:23:25You,
00:23:26little bodyguard,
00:23:27is crazier than
00:23:28any gambler
00:23:29I've ever seen.
00:23:30What?
00:23:31Too scared to call?
00:23:33Call scared now.
00:23:35Reveal your card.
00:23:42Damien,
00:23:42I can't let you do this.
00:23:44Do you have any idea
00:23:45what the Ross group
00:23:46means to us?
00:23:46Everything this family built,
00:23:48it's all right here.
00:23:48And in a few minutes,
00:23:50you're ready to risk it
00:23:50all on one word?
00:23:53Did you hear her?
00:23:54She said no!
00:23:55Who the hell
00:23:55do you think you are?
00:23:56You've been a curse
00:23:57since day one.
00:23:58If you hadn't stuck
00:23:59your nose in,
00:23:59we'd have found zero by now.
00:24:01Robert,
00:24:01stop wasting your breath.
00:24:02He doesn't give a damn
00:24:03about the Ross group.
00:24:04He's just here to show off.
00:24:05Mrs. Ross,
00:24:05you're the CEO.
00:24:06Say something.
00:24:07Don't let him wipe us all out.
00:24:08No rush.
00:24:10Take all the time
00:24:11you need to work it out.
00:24:12I've got nothing but time.
00:24:14Emily,
00:24:15do you trust me?
00:24:16Don't listen to him.
00:24:17He's lying to you.
00:24:18He's been lying
00:24:19from the start.
00:24:20Mommy,
00:24:21trust Daddy.
00:24:22Daddy never lies.
00:24:24If he says he'll win,
00:24:25he will win.
00:24:26Okay.
00:24:27I trust you.
00:24:28Emily!
00:24:29I trust you.
00:24:30Call it!
00:24:34Interesting.
00:24:35This is gonna be a blast.
00:24:37Miss Ross,
00:24:38you've got more spine
00:24:39than your old man ever did.
00:24:40Too bad you picked the wrong guy.
00:24:42Beat this hand?
00:24:43Only a straight flush can do that.
00:24:44consecutive same suit.
00:24:46The idiot swapped all five cards.
00:24:47You think he just stumbled
00:24:48into a miracle?
00:24:49Flip them.
00:24:50Show us your trash.
00:24:52Cards that can beat four kings?
00:24:54Nobody in this world
00:24:55has ever pulled that.
00:25:06Straight flush!

00:25:19You actually pulled it off!

00:29:45my protection?
00:29:47Let's see how long
00:29:48you last out of here
00:29:49alive without me.
00:29:50Really?
00:29:51I'm leaving.
00:29:53No one in Chicago
00:29:54can stop me.
00:29:55You're very interesting.
00:29:57Here's the deal.
00:29:58I'm not just
00:29:59protecting you.
00:30:00I'm protecting
00:30:00the Ross family too.
00:30:02Frankie doesn't
00:30:03touch the Ross Group.
00:30:04My family will provide
00:30:05them a full year
00:30:06security contract.
00:30:07From now on in Chicago,
00:30:09no one touches a Ross.
00:30:11Miss Nicole,
00:30:12but you just said...
00:30:13I said I wasn't
00:30:14getting involved.
00:30:15Now I am.
00:30:15Any complaints?
00:30:18Here's the deal.
00:30:19You become my fiancé.
00:30:23I'm not your fiancé.
00:30:25I'm Emily Ross'
00:30:26personal bodyguard.
00:30:28Ross?
00:30:29What do you say?
00:30:31I...
00:30:32Damien.
00:30:33The Bruns family
00:30:34could give you
00:30:34so much more
00:30:35than we ever could.
00:30:36You wouldn't have
00:30:37to wear that worn-out
00:30:38uniform,
00:30:38trail behind me,
00:30:39or be called a beggar
00:30:40ever again.
00:30:41No!
00:30:41I don't agree!
00:30:43You're my mommy!
00:30:44Daddy can't leave
00:30:45with another woman!
00:30:47Lily, I'm not
00:30:47going anywhere.
00:30:49Your terms?
00:30:50I refuse.
00:30:55You...
00:30:56You stayed.
00:30:58I knew it!
00:31:00Daddy wouldn't leave.
00:31:01Do you have any idea
00:31:02who you're turning down?
00:31:03I mobilized the entire
00:31:05Bronze Empire
00:31:05to protect you,
00:31:06and I don't even
00:31:07get a look!
00:31:08Every damn second,
00:31:09you're only thinking
00:31:09about her!
00:31:10What, not good enough?
00:31:11Not pretty enough?
00:31:12Or does a bronze fortune
00:31:13mean nothing
00:31:14compared to some
00:31:15broken-down
00:31:15real estate company?
00:31:17She's the only one
00:31:18who matters.
00:31:19Why not her?
00:31:20The Bruns family
00:31:21could give you everything.
00:31:22Why not just go with...
00:31:23I promised I'd be
00:31:23your bodyguard.
00:31:24I never break my word.
00:31:26So,
00:31:27you can't bring yourself
00:31:28to walk away from her?
00:31:30Frankie!
00:31:31Miss Brantz?
00:31:32Shoot her.
00:31:34Kill Miss Ross.
00:31:35Then your loyal bodyguard
00:31:36won't have to keep
00:31:37that ridiculous promise.
00:31:40As you wish.
00:31:42Goodbye.
00:31:47You're...
00:31:48You're insane.
00:31:49Touch her.
00:31:51Just try.
00:31:53Let go!
00:31:54My father will destroy you!
00:31:55Do you understand?
00:31:56No one in America
00:31:57lays a finger on a Brands!
00:31:59Oh, really?
00:32:00Let him try.
00:32:02Let her go.
00:32:05Bruns?
00:32:07Sir?
00:32:15Dad!
00:32:16He grabbed my neck!
00:32:17He put a gun to my head!
00:32:19Nobody has ever
00:32:20laid a finger on me!
00:32:21Who the hell
00:32:21does he think he is?
00:32:22Kill them!
00:32:23Every single one!
00:32:24I want them all dead!
00:32:25I want them to...
00:32:26Don't say anything.
00:32:27I will handle this.
00:32:29Mr. Bruns,
00:32:29I'm Ali Ross,
00:32:30CEO of Ross Group.
00:32:31Today there was
00:32:32a misunderstanding.
00:32:33Mr. Brands,
00:32:34pleasure to meet you.
00:32:35Robert Ross.
00:32:36What happened today?
00:32:38Maybe we could sit down
00:32:39and talk it through?
00:32:42You touched Nicole.
00:32:44You touched the Bruns family.
00:32:46Anyone stupid enough
00:32:47to touch the
00:32:48Bronze heir's neck
00:32:49is about to learn
00:32:50what that costs.
00:32:52That's not true!
00:32:53Lily!
00:32:54Stop!
00:32:54She's the one
00:32:55breaking up my mommy
00:32:56and daddy!
00:32:57She tried to shoot my mommy!
00:32:59Daddy got mad
00:33:00because she deserved it!
00:33:01Why are grown-ups
00:33:02always so unfair?
00:33:04She started it!
00:33:05She tried to hurt my mommy!
00:33:07My mommy almost died!
00:33:08Mr. Brands,
00:33:09please!
00:33:10She's just a child.
00:33:11She doesn't understand.
00:33:13Don't hold this
00:33:13against a little girl.
00:33:16You claim your father
00:33:17was protecting your mother?
00:33:18Then let him step forward.
00:33:20You put your hands
00:33:21on my daughter.
00:33:21I'll rip them apart.
00:33:22otherwise you're all dead.
00:33:27Ray Brands.
00:33:30And you still have the nerve
00:33:31to show your face around him.
00:33:35Dad?
00:33:35What's wrong?
00:33:36It's him!
00:33:37He grabbed me by the throat!
00:33:39You have to kill him!
00:33:56Mr. Brands, you...
00:33:58Mr. Brands, you...
00:33:59Christ!
00:34:01Dad, what are you doing?
00:34:03Get up!
00:34:04Why are you kneeling for him?
00:34:06Who is he?
00:34:07He's just a bodyguard.
00:34:09Some guy in ripped work clothes.
00:34:11He choked me.
00:34:12He put a gun to my head.
00:34:14You never hit me once.
00:34:15Now some lowlife
00:34:16threatens my life
00:34:17and you kneel for him?
00:34:18Are you even my father?
00:34:19Shut up.
00:34:20What?
00:34:20I said shut up.
00:34:21Damien,
00:34:22what's going on here?
00:34:23I'm not shutting up.
00:34:24Why would I shut up?
00:34:25Father, look.
00:34:25He choked me.
00:34:26He nearly killed me.
00:34:27What are you waiting for?
00:34:28Shoot!
00:34:29I said shoot!
00:34:30Kill them all!
00:34:31Every single one of them!
00:34:33Are you deaf?
00:34:34I said shoot!
00:34:38You...
00:34:39You hit me
00:34:40for some stranger?
00:34:41You hit me?
00:34:42That slap
00:34:42was to teach you respect
00:34:44for Mr. Brands.
00:34:45Why?
00:34:45Who does he think he is?
00:34:46Who?
00:34:47I'm the Bronze Air Air.
00:34:48Why should I respect him?
00:34:50Because
00:34:50he once saved my life.
00:34:56Saved
00:34:57your life?
00:34:59He
00:34:59saved
00:35:00the Bronze family?
00:35:01Mr. Vail
00:35:02forgive my foolish daughter.
00:35:04She has no idea
00:35:05what the Bronze family
00:35:06sacrificed to survive.
00:35:07Seven years ago
00:35:07three rival families
00:35:08almost erased us.
00:35:09They bled our casinos dry
00:35:11cut our cash flow
00:35:12and bought our people.
00:35:13They trapped me
00:35:13in an airport garage
00:35:14six guns,
00:35:15zero way out.
00:35:15Mr. Vail just happened
00:35:16to be passing by.
00:35:17He pulled me out.
00:35:18Without him
00:35:19the Bronze family
00:35:20would be dead.
00:35:21And you,
00:35:21you tried to kill him!
00:35:22You would have taken me with him!
00:35:24Mr. Vail,
00:35:24today's mess
00:35:25is a disgrace
00:35:26from the Bronze family.
00:35:27I apologize to you
00:35:28on our behalf.
00:35:29He said Damien
00:35:30saved his life.
00:35:31So who the hell
00:35:31is Damien really?
00:35:32I don't know
00:35:33but he's no ordinary bodyguard.
00:35:34No bodyguard
00:35:34has this kind of pull
00:35:35with the Bronze family.
00:35:36Where did you even find him?
00:35:37He's connected
00:35:37to the Bronze family
00:35:38like this?
00:35:39Why didn't you tell us?
00:35:40I didn't know either.
00:35:41It doesn't matter
00:35:42what you say to me.
00:35:43Apologize
00:35:43to my daughter
00:35:44and to this lady.
00:35:45I apologize.
00:35:46The Bronze family
00:35:47regrets its behavior
00:35:48towards you.
00:35:49What about my mommy?
00:35:49You shoved her out of the way.
00:35:51You better apologize
00:35:51to her too.
00:35:52Ms. Ross,
00:35:52please accept my apologies
00:35:53for earlier.
00:35:54Mr. Bronze,
00:35:55you don't need to...
00:35:56No.
00:35:56Mr. Vail saved my life.
00:35:58If he demands an apology,
00:35:59I give one.
00:36:00I accept.
00:36:01That's better.
00:36:02Mr. Brant,
00:36:03I didn't know,
00:36:04I didn't know he saved your life.
00:36:05If I'd known,
00:36:05I'd never...
00:36:07It's you.
00:36:08You pointed a gun at Mr. Vail.
00:36:10You pointed a gun at Ms. Ross.
00:36:11You pointed a gun at this little girl.
00:36:13All of you threatening the people
00:36:15around Mr. Vail.
00:36:16You all deserve to die!
00:36:22Mr. Brant,
00:36:23I...
00:36:23I had no idea.
00:36:25I swear I didn't...
00:36:26If I'd known Val was your guy...
00:36:28If I'd known about your connection
00:36:29to the Ross group,
00:36:30I wouldn't have laid a finger on them.
00:36:32Not one.
00:36:32Never.
00:36:33You didn't know?
00:36:34I saw everything from the second floor.
00:36:36You threatened Ms. Ross,
00:36:37forced a deathmatch,
00:36:39rigged the deck,
00:36:39and when you lost anyway,
00:36:40you pointed dozens of guns
00:36:42at defenseless people,
00:36:43Well, Frankie, you're done.
00:36:44You didn't know.
00:36:45So which one of those things
00:36:47didn't you do?
00:36:47Mr. Brant,
00:36:48I'll pay!
00:36:49I'll make it right!
00:36:50Whatever it takes!
00:36:51I'll give Ms. Ross
00:36:52every casino I've got!
00:36:55Make it right.
00:36:55So why didn't you say that before?
00:37:01Boss!
00:37:02Don't move!
00:37:03Nobody comes near!
00:37:05Ms. Ross,
00:37:06I'm Frankie Vega.
00:37:07I swear I'll make this right.
00:37:09Is that enough?
00:37:10Ms. Ross?
00:37:11Or do I pull the trigger again?
00:37:13Ms. Ross?
00:37:15Are you satisfied now?
00:37:16Enough.
00:37:17Mr. Brands, that's enough.
00:37:18As long as the Sharks
00:37:19never touch the Ross Group again,
00:37:21this ends here.
00:37:22From this day forward,
00:37:24the Ross Group
00:37:24falls under the protection
00:37:25of the Bruns family.
00:37:27Cross the Ross Group again
00:37:28and you won't live
00:37:28to see the next sunrise.
00:37:30Anywhere!
00:37:30The Bruns family sees to that.
00:37:35Did you see that?
00:37:36Ray Bruns,
00:37:37right in front of dozens of guns,
00:37:38he personally declared
00:37:39that the Ross Group
00:37:40is under the His Protection.
00:37:41And that little punk Frankie,
00:37:42where's he at now,
00:37:43acting all high and mighty
00:37:44back then?
00:37:44Now, he's lucky
00:37:45if he can even walk
00:37:46with a cane.
00:37:47I swear,
00:37:47I almost thought
00:37:47we were all gonna die
00:37:48in that casino tonight.
00:37:50Did you see Frankie
00:37:50kneeling on the floor
00:37:51after everything he did to us?
00:37:52Kidnapping Emily,
00:37:53threatening our lives?
00:37:53And now,
00:37:54he shot himself
00:37:55and doesn't even have
00:37:56the guts to fart.
00:37:57Emily,
00:37:58why so quiet?
00:37:59Today you're the hero.
00:37:59You brought Damien back.
00:38:00Thanks to him,
00:38:01our family isn't dead tonight.
00:38:02Your father's right.
00:38:03You've got a sharper eye
00:38:04than we do.
00:38:05Damien's not just skilled,
00:38:06he's got connection
00:38:06to the Bruns family.
00:38:07What if he weren't here?
00:38:08Ray Brantz was giving Damien
00:38:10respect the whole time,
00:38:11not us.
00:38:11Damien is my personal bodyguard.
00:38:13He isn't part of the Ross family.
00:38:14If one day he leaves,
00:38:15will the Bruns family
00:38:16still protect us?
00:38:17You're right.
00:38:18Damien must stay
00:38:18with the Ross family
00:38:19at any cost.
00:38:21You're the CEO
00:38:21of the Ross Group
00:38:22and the future of our family.
00:38:24Do whatever it takes
00:38:25to keep him,
00:38:25whether it's money
00:38:26or...
00:38:27You know what I mean, right?
00:38:28He's not an object.
00:38:29I can't decide
00:38:29whether he stays or goes.
00:38:33Anna,
00:38:33what wrong?
00:38:34Mrs. Ross,
00:38:35it's serious.
00:38:36Our stock is plummeting,
00:38:37already down 12%.
00:38:38Massive institutional shorting
00:38:40happening right now.
00:38:43Daddy, look.
00:38:44This time,
00:38:45it's going to fly
00:38:45to that window.
00:38:50Aww.
00:38:52Failed again.
00:38:53The wings crooked.
00:38:54Did I interrupt anything?
00:38:56Mommy!
00:38:57Come see the plane I made!
00:38:59Not bad at all.
00:39:00I need to tell you something.
00:39:01Our group is under attack
00:39:02by some unknown investors.
00:39:03We might be heading
00:39:04for bankruptcy.
00:39:05Who's behind it?
00:39:06We don't know yet.
00:39:06Anna said at least
00:39:07three or four major institutions
00:39:08are shorting us simultaneously.
00:39:09Money we can barely imagine.
00:39:11Lily,
00:39:11I bought you a ton of lollipops
00:39:13there in your room.
00:39:14Want to go check?
00:39:14Really?
00:39:15How many?
00:39:16Enough to last you
00:39:17a long time.
00:39:18Yay!
00:39:19Lollipops!
00:39:19Thank you, Mommy!
00:39:21Damien.
00:39:22Hmm?
00:39:23If the Ross group
00:39:24really goes under,
00:39:25would you still be
00:39:26my personal bodyguard?
00:39:27I'm not sure.
00:39:29I don't want you to leave.
00:39:30The Bruins family's protection,
00:39:32that's out of respect for you.
00:39:33My parents want me
00:39:34to keep you here
00:39:35at all costs.
00:39:37But I don't want to keep you.
00:39:38I just want to tell you.
00:39:39I don't want you to go.
00:40:05If you want me
00:40:08as your bodyguard for life. I can't be working for free. Inject Keck Capital or into Ross Real Estate
00:40:17and have Hummingbird deliver an invitation to Emily Ross.
00:40:31Mommy! I brought you lunch! Daddy picked it!
00:40:36You too. What are you doing here?
00:40:39You haven't eaten since this morning.
00:40:41Why do you even remember that? You're not my butler.
00:40:44Daddy said if you didn't eat lunch soon, you'd starve. And then he'd be out of a job.
00:40:49Boss! Boss!
00:40:52What is it? Another crisis?
00:40:54No, not a problem. Nothing bad. A massive capital infection just hit the group. This is a huge help.
00:41:00This... Who put this in? Which institution? Which investor?
00:41:03The investor is... Damien.
00:41:08Damien?
00:41:12Boss, the capital infulsion came through Demica Securities.
00:41:15Demica? It really scared me. I thought it was...
00:41:23Demica? Isn't that Daddy's company?
00:41:26Lily, it just happens to sound like your Daddy's name. Demata Securities is a real financial firm.
00:41:31There's no way it's your Daddy's. Either way, this influx takes the pressure off. At least for now.
00:41:36Boss Demica's funds crushed the short squeeze, but it's over. The data confirms two massive funds refuse to still back
00:41:41down.
00:41:41If they hit us again tomorrow, we're a long way from safety.
00:41:44Call the bank. Secure that credit line immediately. Tell finance I need the exact cash flow numbers on my desk
00:41:49before the afternoon meeting. No excuses.
00:41:51No need to complicate things. I've already had someone deliver something for you.
00:41:55Something? What is it?
00:41:57An invitation to the Hummingbird Club. Once Ross Group is in, those predatory institutions will scatter.
00:42:02The... Hummingbird Club?
00:42:03Damien, do you even understand what the Hummingbird Club is?
00:42:06It's the ultimate global summit created by Zero himself. Entry requires billions, minimum.
00:42:09Even with Ray Brands backing you, you can't beg your way in. This is about cold hard cash, not favors.
00:42:13Exactly. That's the Hummingbird Club. Our Ross Group wouldn't even get in line at the door. How could a low
00:42:19-level bodyguard get an invitation?
00:42:21Time's just right.
00:42:27Miss Emily Ross, the Hummingbird Club is honored to invite you to this gathering.
00:42:33Hummingbird? It's real!
00:42:39Oh my god. It's real. The Hummingbird in Boston. Only this club can use this insignia.
00:42:46I saw the same emblem on the cover of a financial magazine. I seriously thought you were bluffing. But you
00:42:51actually pulled it off. How'd you swing this?
00:42:53The Hummingbird Club isn't some impenetrable fortress. It's just an invitation. Not exactly rocket science.
00:42:58Damien, you don't even know what the Hummingbird Club is. You couldn't get this yourself.
00:43:02If not me, then who?
00:43:05Oh my god, I've got it. Last month, Ross Group locked down the Greater Bay Area Redevelopment Deal.
00:43:10Biggest urban renewal project in Chicago in almost five years.
00:43:14That project must have caught the Hummingbird Club's eye.
00:43:16Ross Group wasn't invited because of some personal connection. It's our project's strength that earned this recognition.
00:43:21Exactly. Damana's capital killed the short attack. And the Bay Area Deal put us on the Hummingbird Club's radar.
00:43:28This is our own triumph. There's no way this is about anyone else.
00:43:31Don't worry about it. You'll see how it all really works when we get to the Hummingbird Gathering.
00:43:36Come on, sweetheart. Daddy's taking you out to have some fun.
00:43:39You'll see at the Hummingbird Gathering.
00:43:42Boss, it seems like Damien's pretty curious about the Hummingbird Club, too.
00:43:46Only one person can attend this event. And that has to be me.
00:43:52M.S. Ross, what about Damien?
00:43:55Keep him in the Ross family for now. Whatever he wants, give it to him. Agree to any condition.
00:44:01At this Hummingbird Gathering, Zero might show up.
00:44:06Zero? The legendary Zero?
00:44:14Help! Somebody help me!
00:44:24Run! Keep running! Someone's paying for your life!
00:44:34Zero. You're... Zero!
00:44:37Lord Zero! We were wrong! Please, spare us!
00:44:48I owe Zero my life. Five years. I tracked him down just to say, thank you.
00:45:05Let's go.
00:45:09Miss Ross, please proceed through the first security checkpoint.
00:45:12Mommy!
00:45:14What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be at home?
00:45:17Home's boring. I told Daddy I wanted to see you, so he brought me.
00:45:21Damien, this isn't a playground. All the most exclusive capitals here. Why did you bring Lily here?
00:45:26She wanted to see you.
00:45:27I'm busy right now. When I'm done, I'll come out and spend time with Lily.
00:45:31You two go wait at a nearby hotel. I'll be out soon.
00:45:34I'm coming in, too.
00:45:35Do you even know what this is?
00:45:36The Hummingbird Club. The most elite capital magnatoles in the world are inside.
00:45:41And you? Dressed like that? You want to be a joke?
00:45:47Don't worry about it, Emily. I'm going in with you.
00:45:51Damien, this night could make or break us.
00:45:53The people who want us dead are still out there.
00:45:55If I don't find new partners tonight, another round of selling off assets could finish us.
00:46:00And there's only one invitation. Just me.
00:46:03What do you think you're doing? You can't just stroll in there. The security here is tighter than the White
00:46:09House.
00:46:10No invitation dressed like that even with a kid? Do you want to humiliate our boss at this event?
00:46:15Take Lily to the hotel. I'll be out as soon as I can.
00:46:17Daddy, is Mommy mad at us?
00:46:19No. She just doesn't understand yet. But she will.
00:46:23That's the vice chairman of UBS Group.
00:46:25And over there, the founder of McQuarrie Capital.
00:46:28My God.
00:46:30Every major investment plow in North America is here.
00:46:33Mommy! You're so slow!
00:46:41How the hell did you get in here?
00:46:50Anna? How did you get in here too?
00:46:55I tailed them in.
00:46:58I tried to catch him sneaking in.
00:47:00I followed him to the side door, but Damien just walked right past heavy security like he owned the place.
00:47:06They didn't even stop him.
00:47:09Now, God help me, I'm standing inside the summit with them.
00:47:14Told you. I was coming in too.
00:47:17After all, I'm the most important person here today.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23You can stay here and eat your cake, but no shouting, no running, and don't touch anything.
00:47:29Got it?
00:47:29Okay!
00:47:31Stick close to me. Don't start anything with anyone.
00:47:34Every person here could be a valuable partner or a dangerous enemy.
00:47:37I don't want things to get messy.
00:47:44Emily Ross!
00:47:47Well, this is unexpected.
00:47:49I heard that the Ross Group hasn't been doing well lately, and yet they can still come to the Hummingbird
00:47:53Club?
00:47:55This homeless-looking guy?
00:47:56He's with you?
00:47:57What's he supposed to be, your plus one?
00:48:01This is Damien Bale. He's with me.
00:48:03With you, huh?
00:48:04Since when did your taste got so grounded?
00:48:06Is that jacket intentionally disparaged?
00:48:07Or has Ross Group sunk so low you can't afford anything decent?
00:48:10Not your business.
00:48:11Sylvie, now that you've married into money, have you forgotten you dressed exactly like this in college?
00:48:14Face reality, Ross. Your company is dead.
00:48:16Without this invitation, you'd be running around Chicago begging for loan extensions right now.
00:48:20Stop playing dress-up. You don't belong here anymore.
00:48:22See those seats up front?
00:48:23Every row in this room is arranged by network.
00:48:25My husband and I are seated in the third row.
00:48:27As for you, your seats are probably somewhere back there.
00:48:29Better check carefully. Don't sit the wrong seat.
00:48:31Come on.
00:48:32Let's find our seats.
00:48:34This is ridiculous.
00:48:36What the hell is this?
00:48:37We got invited too. Why are they doing this to us?
00:48:39Enough.
00:48:41Anna, where are Damien and Lily?
00:48:43They were right behind us.
00:48:44I'll find them.
00:48:45Anna, you can't shout at me.
00:48:47No running around and you absolutely can't-
00:48:49Mommy!
00:48:53Mommy, come up here.
00:48:54Daddy says these seats are bigger.
00:49:06You can't sit here.
00:49:07The Hummingbird ranks seats by assets.
00:49:09Ross Group barely makes the last row.
00:49:12This is the front row center.
00:49:14The people in these seats run global finance.
00:49:17We belong in the back.
00:49:19It's fine. Sit down.
00:49:21This row was always meant for me.
00:49:24Damien, I'm serious. It's not a joke.
00:49:25I already told you.
00:49:27I'm the most important person in this room.
00:49:28And this seat, it was saved for you.
00:49:31Nobody gets to argue with that.
00:49:32What exactly do you think you're doing?
00:49:33Who gave you the right to sit here?
00:49:35The Hummingbird Club seats people by wealth.
00:49:38What makes Ross Group think they deserve front row center?
00:49:41Why do you care where we sit?
00:49:42Daddy said these seats are ours.
00:49:44People who don't know the rules always learn the hard way.
00:49:48Staff, we have people breaking the rules over here.
00:49:52Ma'am, is there a problem?
00:49:53These people should be in the last row based on their assets.
00:49:56Instead, they've planted themselves in the first row.
00:49:58They broke the rules here.
00:50:00Are you sure about that, ma'am?
00:50:01Absolutely.
00:50:02Check the seating list yourself.
00:50:04We can't tolerate guests who disregard the rules.
00:50:06Miss Ross, I'm afraid you have to leave this area.
00:50:11Sir, please, you've got to listen to me.
00:50:13Our president just got here.
00:50:14She literally just walked through the door.
00:50:16Look, she's not even seated yet.
00:50:18We just came over to check the seating.
00:50:20We were about to head right back to the last row.
00:50:22Oh?
00:50:23She hasn't sat down yet?
00:50:24Then I suppose that means the father and daughter already in the front row have nothing
00:50:28to do with the Ross Group?
00:50:29Sir, according to the rules here, if someone sits in the wrong seats, they're removed from
00:50:33the event, correct?
00:50:33Correct.
00:50:33People who don't obey rules, seated or not, will be escorted out immediately.
00:50:37Perfect.
00:50:38So this is easy.
00:50:39Emily, just answer one question.
00:50:42Do those two belong to the Ross Group or not?
00:50:45Miss Ross, what do we do?
00:50:50They're with me.
00:50:51Your people?
00:50:52Oh my God, Emily, you've really sunk low, haven't you?
00:50:55Your wealth belongs in the back row, but you're sitting dead center in the front.
00:50:59Honestly, that's just pathetic.
00:51:01No, you're pathetic.
00:51:02You couldn't snag the front row yourself, so now you're pitching a fit about ours.
00:51:07Fine.
00:51:07I'm not wasting my time arguing with a kid.
00:51:11Besides, I'm not the one about to get booted out.
00:51:13Miss Ross, since these two are with you and they took the first row, for regulations, you
00:51:18and everyone with you must leave the premises immediately.
00:51:20Sir, please, just give us one more shot.
00:51:22The Ross Company got an official invitation.
00:51:24We'll swap to the back row right now, straight away.
00:51:28You don't recognize me?
00:51:30And you still think you can throw me out?
00:51:33You're...
00:51:34You're...
00:51:36You...
00:51:37Who exactly are you?
00:51:38Been too long since anyone around here remembered my face.
00:51:42Nobody remembers me anymore.
00:51:43Oh, come on.
00:51:44Stop acting.
00:51:45You're nothing but a broke loser in a cheap suit.
00:51:47This club rules the global economy.
00:51:49It's not a playground for bums.
00:51:50You think acting mysterious makes you an elite?
00:51:52Wake up!
00:51:53Don't let him intimidate you.
00:51:54Throw them out already.
00:51:55Stop wasting everyone's time.
00:51:57Sylvie's trying to bury us here.
00:51:58Does Damir actually have a plan or what?
00:52:01No clue what he's about to pull.
00:52:03But every time he goes quiet like this,
00:52:05whatever happens next is never what I saw coming.
00:52:08Sir, you've taken a seat that doesn't belong to you.
00:52:11It's completely unacceptable here.
00:52:12Please leave immediately.
00:52:13We're done.
00:52:15We're seriously done.
00:52:17If we get thrown out of here,
00:52:18everyone in Chicago will know the Ross Group
00:52:20got kicked out of Hummingbird tomorrow morning.
00:52:22Go get Shilko.
00:52:23Tell him to come here.
00:52:24Once he sees me, you'll know exactly who I am.
00:52:26Who the hell is that?
00:52:28You overheard some random name somewhere
00:52:30and thought you could bluff your way through?
00:52:32This is the Hummingbird Club.
00:52:33The most elite capital gathering in the world.
00:52:36Not some place where you can scare people
00:52:37by dropping random names.
00:52:39What's next?
00:52:40You gonna threaten the barista too?
00:52:43Sir, please wait here.
00:52:44Please remain seated in the front row.
00:52:46I'll go bring Mr. Shilko immediately.
00:52:54Five minutes ago, that guy was cold as ice.
00:52:56Damien drops one name
00:52:57and suddenly he's practically kissing his ring.
00:52:59one name out of Damien's mouth
00:53:01and the guy nearly kissed the floor.
00:53:02Who the hell is he?
00:53:04Every time I think I finally understand Damien.
00:53:08And I'm always so goddamn wrong.
00:53:12Mommy!
00:53:13This cake is a mom-amazing!
00:53:15Wanna bite?
00:53:20Lily,
00:53:21how did you two even get front row seats?
00:53:24We just walked in.
00:53:25The guy at the door didn't want to let us through at first,
00:53:28but Daddy talked to him for a minute
00:53:30and then we were in.
00:53:31What exactly did you say to security?
00:53:33I told him I was attending the event.
00:53:35Told him to check the guest list.
00:53:36So he checked the list.
00:53:38Let us right through.
00:53:38But you don't have an invitation.
00:53:40Why would your name even be on the list?
00:53:42I told you.
00:53:43Today,
00:53:44I'm the most important person here.
00:53:46He just said he's the most important person here.
00:53:48You're not even gonna ask why?
00:53:49First the fight club,
00:53:50then the casino.
00:53:51Now this.
00:53:52Every time Damien says something outrageous,
00:53:53I do not believe him.
00:53:54And every single time,
00:53:55it turns out he wasn't exaggerating at all.
00:53:58I think it is starting.
00:54:02That thing.
00:54:03That's the metal hummingbird.
00:54:04The symbol of the hummingbird club.
00:54:06Every gathering starts with Zero personally activating it.
00:54:09They say no one in the world
00:54:10can replicate the craftsmanship behind it.
00:54:17That's Lawrence Claude.
00:54:19My God,
00:54:20it's Lawrence Claude.
00:54:21A top 10 global giant
00:54:22ruling a $300 billion empire
00:54:25across three continents.
00:54:27Even the Wall Street Journal
00:54:28devoted a full feature
00:54:29to his financial dominance last year.
00:54:31He is untouchable.
00:54:32This is our only lifeline,
00:54:34Miss Ross.
00:54:34An investment from Claude
00:54:36makes us bulletproof overnight.
00:54:37His signature alone
00:54:38is worth billions in market trust.
00:54:40We have to beg him,
00:54:41no matter the cost.
00:54:42I'm going to talk to him.
00:54:43Are you serious?
00:54:45Then we force our way through.
00:54:47Well, if it isn't Miss Ross,
00:54:49the woman sitting front row center earlier,
00:54:51so why can't you even get close enough
00:54:53to say hello now?
00:54:54I guess having a big sofa seat
00:54:56in the front row
00:54:57doesn't mean anyone actually
00:54:58wants to do business with you.
00:55:01You know who Lawrence Claude is, right?
00:55:04Ross Group's whole valuation
00:55:06is pocket chun to that man.
00:55:08Go save yourself the embarrassment.
00:55:09Head back to Chicago
00:55:11and fix your mess.
00:55:12Save it.
00:55:13We'll find another way.
00:55:14Daddy said this couch
00:55:15was the biggest and softest,
00:55:17so we should sit here
00:55:18and wait for Mom.
00:55:22Damien, what are you doing?
00:55:23Who the hell are you waving at?
00:55:25That's Lawrence Claude.
00:55:26Darien!
00:55:27Darien, you can't just...
00:55:28I thought you wanted
00:55:29to talk to him?
00:55:30That's Lawrence Claude,
00:55:32one of the ten biggest money guys
00:55:33on the planet.
00:55:34I wanted to meet him,
00:55:35maybe land an investment,
00:55:36but I can't even get near him.
00:55:38Then I'll just call him over.
00:55:39Damien,
00:55:40my group doesn't carry
00:55:41that kind of weight.
00:55:43Honestly,
00:55:43almost everyone in this room
00:55:44is richer than me.
00:55:45We don't get to summon
00:55:46someone like Mr. Claude.
00:55:48Look,
00:55:48he's already coming.
00:55:53Mr. Vale,
00:55:55finally we meet again.
00:55:59Mr. Vale,
00:56:00where have you been
00:56:01all these years?
00:56:02Without you
00:56:03at the Hummingbird Club,
00:56:04it's been...
00:56:05Lawrence.
00:56:08Miss Ross wants to meet you.
00:56:10Miss Ross,
00:56:11a pleasure.
00:56:13Mr. Claude,
00:56:14I've long admired you.
00:56:16I'm Emily Ross,
00:56:16CEO of Ross Realty Group.
00:56:18Ross Realty,
00:56:19I know the name.
00:56:19The West Chicago Riverfront Project.
00:56:21You closed that last month.
00:56:22I actually read your proposal.
00:56:23The idea of turning
00:56:24old industrial land
00:56:25into a mixed-use district,
00:56:26solid work.
00:56:27You struck a good balance
00:56:28between keeping what's there
00:56:29and pushing new density.
00:56:30In Chicago,
00:56:31very few developers
00:56:32operate at that level.
00:56:32Thank you,
00:56:33Miss Front Project's been
00:56:33our biggest play
00:56:34for the past two years.
00:56:35The whole team busted
00:56:35their tails on it.
00:56:36Your approval means
00:56:37everything to us.
00:56:38Boss,
00:56:38Mr. Claude actually praised us.
00:56:40He read our proposal.
00:56:42Mr. Claude,
00:56:42I know this might be overstepping.
00:56:44Ross Group is under siege right now.
00:56:46We've taken multiple rounds
00:56:48of capital attacks.
00:56:49The stock's been all over the place
00:56:50and cash flow is tight.
00:56:52I came here
00:56:53looking for long-term
00:56:54strategic partners.
00:56:55If you'd consider us,
00:56:56I'd be incredibly grateful.
00:56:57It's nothing.
00:56:58Just drop in $100 billion.
00:57:01Consider it done.
00:57:02A billion?
00:57:03$100 billion.
00:57:04Ross Group,
00:57:04Claude Capital,
00:57:05will put in $100 billion
00:57:06U.S. dollars
00:57:07as a strategic investor.
00:57:08Our teams will touch base
00:57:10with your legal department
00:57:11tomorrow.
00:57:12Terms are flexible.
00:57:13Valuation follows
00:57:14your last funding round.
00:57:17Mr. Claude,
00:57:18I don't know what to say.
00:57:19This investment
00:57:20means so much more to us.
00:57:21You reached out
00:57:22when we were at our lowest.
00:57:24That trust,
00:57:25we won't let you down.
00:57:26You're too kind.
00:57:27Your work on the
00:57:28riverfront redevelopment
00:57:29already showed
00:57:30what you're capable of.
00:57:31This investment
00:57:32will pay off.
00:57:33Honestly,
00:57:34it's an honor
00:57:34to be working with Ross Group.
00:57:35I have high hopes
00:57:37for what you'll do next.
00:57:38That project
00:57:38is just the beginning.
00:57:40I believe Ross Reelty
00:57:41can set a new standard
00:57:42for Chicago,
00:57:43even North America.
00:57:44I'll handle this personally
00:57:45and get things moving
00:57:46as fast as I can.
00:57:47Mr. Vail,
00:57:49where have you been
00:57:50all these years?
00:57:50I've been trying to reach out,
00:57:51but I couldn't find you.
00:57:52When you vanished
00:57:53from Chicago back then,
00:57:54I had people searching
00:57:55for you for years.
00:57:56I figured you were gone for good.
00:57:58Handled some personal matters.
00:57:59I'm back now.
00:58:00So how long
00:58:01will you stay this time?
00:58:03Some old friends
00:58:04have been asking about you.
00:58:05Ray Brands called me
00:58:06the other day,
00:58:07brought you up.
00:58:07He wanted me to apologize again
00:58:09for his daughter's
00:58:09little outburst.
00:58:11We'll see.
00:58:12For now,
00:58:12I've got things to deal with.
00:58:13I see.
00:58:15After all,
00:58:16it's annual gathering.
00:58:17Just having you here
00:58:18already means
00:58:18means a lot to everyone.
00:58:20About the investment documents,
00:58:21I'll have my team
00:58:22prepare the term plea tomorrow.
00:58:23Valuation and structure
00:58:24will follow your direction.
00:58:25Anything else you need from me?
00:58:26No.
00:58:27Handle it yourself.
00:58:28Okay.
00:58:28But one more thing.
00:58:30Miss Ross doesn't seem
00:58:31to know who you are yet.
00:58:32If you ever want me
00:58:32to clear that up,
00:58:33just say the word.
00:58:34I'll be right over there.
00:58:34Keeping it private like this
00:58:36is nice.
00:58:36It's kind of fun.
00:58:37It's more interesting this way.
00:58:39Well, then I won't interfere.
00:58:42Also,
00:58:43will you attend
00:58:43tonight's banquet?
00:58:44If you do,
00:58:45I'll arrange
00:58:46your usual seat,
00:58:47the private inner suite.
00:58:48No one will disturb you.
00:58:49No need.
00:58:51That's all.
00:58:52Get on with your things.
00:58:53Don't mind me.
00:58:54Sure.
00:58:54I'll leave now.
00:58:56Call me anytime
00:58:57if you need anything.
00:59:00Damien,
00:59:01why is Mr. Claude
00:59:03so careful around you?
00:59:04He lowers his head
00:59:05when he talks to you.
00:59:06He watches your reaction
00:59:07before making any move
00:59:08on that investment.
00:59:09You wave him off
00:59:09and he actually leaves.
00:59:10He's basically acting
00:59:11like your employee.
00:59:12Lawrence and Ray Bruns
00:59:13go way back.
00:59:14Ray respects me,
00:59:15so Lawrence follows Fote.
00:59:17And Ray's probably said
00:59:18a few things in my favor
00:59:19over the years.
00:59:21In this world,
00:59:22that's all it takes.
00:59:23Connections
00:59:23is dead on top
00:59:24of Connections.
00:59:25So,
00:59:26that's it?
00:59:27Well,
00:59:28Miss Ross,
00:59:29fancy seeing you here.
00:59:35Ross Group's
00:59:36really riding its luck.
00:59:38Let me guess,
00:59:39Bruns pulled strings
00:59:40again to get you in?
00:59:42Hey,
00:59:43Tomato Uncle,
00:59:43your leg still hurts.
00:59:45You walk like
00:59:46a broken robot.
00:59:48Kid,
00:59:49shut it.
00:59:50That hole in your side
00:59:51isn't closed up yet.
00:59:52Keep pushing like that,
00:59:53it'll rip right back open.
00:59:55Next time,
00:59:55you might not walk out.
00:59:57So,
00:59:57you're the bodyguard
00:59:58my nephew won't shut up about.
01:00:00Underground ring,
01:00:01dropped bare with one shot.
01:00:03Casino turned garbage
01:00:04into a straight flush.
01:00:06Not bad.
01:00:06Actually impressed me.
01:00:08And you are?
01:00:09That's Marcus Bill.
01:00:10Used to be a big shot
01:00:11on Wall Street,
01:00:12my uncle.
01:00:13Oh,
01:00:14the fraud case guy?
01:00:15Just got out,
01:00:16huh?
01:00:17Kid,
01:00:18you talk big.
01:00:19But what happens
01:00:20when the luck runs out?
01:00:22What are you going to
01:00:22protect them with then?
01:00:24My luck never got me
01:00:25in anywhere.
01:00:27Zero's here.
01:00:27I swear,
01:00:29Zero's actually here.
01:00:30You're telling me
01:00:30Zero Zero
01:00:31founded the Hummingbird Club?
01:00:33The one tied to politics,
01:00:34finance,
01:00:35even the underworld?
01:00:38Boss,
01:00:39they're saying Zero is here.
01:00:40The founder of Hummingbird Club,
01:00:42the most powerful dealmaker
01:00:43on the planet.
01:00:49Zero's been gone,
01:00:50what,
01:00:51six years?
01:00:52And he shows up here today.
01:00:54That's no coincidence.
01:00:57Did anyone notice
01:00:58Marcus Bill's here too?
01:01:00His prison scent
01:01:01lines up exactly
01:01:02with Zero disappearing.
01:01:04One drops off the map,
01:01:06the other goes federal,
01:01:07and now he's just been released,
01:01:08and Zero comes back?
01:01:11And Marcus used to work
01:01:12the same financial zones
01:01:13as Zero,
01:01:14Wall Street,
01:01:15offshore flows,
01:01:16same territories.
01:01:18There are key witnesses
01:01:19from that case
01:01:20who still won't talk.
01:01:21Ask yourself why.
01:01:25He's always been bouncing
01:01:27between New York
01:01:27and Chicago.
01:01:29Don't tell me
01:01:30he really is Zero.
01:01:34Everyone's saying
01:01:34Marcus Bill might be Zero.
01:01:36The timing,
01:01:37his record,
01:01:37his sentence,
01:01:38his release,
01:01:39it all lines up.
01:01:42If the man in that alley
01:01:43five years ago
01:01:45was him.
01:01:51Uncle,
01:01:52are you really
01:01:52Number Zero?
01:01:54Everyone's been guessing.
01:01:55The time you went to prison,
01:01:56the power you held back then,
01:01:57and when you got out,
01:01:58it all lines up perfectly
01:02:00with Number Zero's record.
01:02:06Some things
01:02:07don't need to be said
01:02:08too clearly.
01:02:09That's it,
01:02:10he just admitted it.
01:02:11Oh my God.
01:02:13Marcus Bill
01:02:14is Zero.
01:02:16Everybody listens!
01:02:18My Uncle Marcus Bill
01:02:19is the founder
01:02:20of the Hummingbird Club,
01:02:21the world's top
01:02:22capital manipulator,
01:02:24Zero!
01:02:35Mr. Bill,
01:02:36no,
01:02:37Mr. Zero.
01:02:38I'm Sylvie Astor.
01:02:39The honor is completely
01:02:40mine,
01:02:41meeting you face to face
01:02:42at last.
01:02:42Mr. Zero,
01:02:43I'm with Macquarie Capital.
01:02:44We've been dying
01:02:45to find a way in
01:02:46with the Hummingbird Club.
01:02:47Mr. Bill,
01:02:48our fund closed
01:02:49a three billion raise
01:02:50last year.
01:02:50We'd be grateful
01:02:51just to have your guidance.
01:02:57It's him.
01:02:58He's actually Zero.
01:03:00I hunted for him
01:03:01for five years
01:03:02just to say thank you.
01:03:05But how,
01:03:06how can he be Frankie's uncle?
01:03:08How can he be our
01:03:10enemy?
01:03:12Daddy,
01:03:12that old man
01:03:13is getting on my nerves.
01:03:15Everyone says he's Zero,
01:03:17but Zero is you.
01:03:19Hold on.
01:03:19Everyone,
01:03:20listen up!
01:03:21Now that my uncle's
01:03:22identity is confirmed,
01:03:23we honor hummingbird tradition.
01:03:25Every summit opens with Zero
01:03:26personally releasing
01:03:27the metal hummingbird.
01:03:29Lord Zero
01:03:30outing the hummingbird himself?
01:03:32We haven't witnessed
01:03:32anything like this
01:03:33in years.
01:03:34Exactly.
01:03:35Used to be Mr. Shilko
01:03:36handling it
01:03:36or just watching
01:03:37recorded footage.
01:03:38Only in the very beginning
01:03:39did Zero
01:03:40do it himself.
01:03:50Open your eyes wide
01:03:51and watch.
01:03:52My uncle,
01:03:53Marcus Bill,
01:03:54Mr. Zero,
01:03:55story of the world
01:03:56will personally
01:03:57release the hummingbird.
01:04:11What the hell?
01:04:15Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:17I gotta be straight with you.
01:04:20It's been ages
01:04:21since I've been back.
01:04:22It seems like it's changed
01:04:23a bit over the years.
01:04:24So how about we just
01:04:26skip this step today?
01:04:27Let's get straight
01:04:28to the summit.
01:04:29I'm sure
01:04:30you've all been waiting,
01:04:31waiting for this.
01:04:33Right.
01:04:34No need to force it.
01:04:36It's only natural
01:04:37that the procedure
01:04:37feels a little unfamiliar.
01:04:39The summit itself
01:04:41matters more.
01:04:45Let it go.
01:04:49The metal hummingbird release
01:04:51is the founding rule
01:04:52of this club.
01:04:56Not once.
01:04:57It is not meant to be skipped.
01:04:58Not now,
01:04:59not ever.
01:05:00If he can't even release
01:05:01the hummingbird,
01:05:02what kind of Zero is that?
01:05:04Oh my God!
01:05:05What is he even saying?
01:05:07Is he really?
01:05:09What did you just say?
01:05:10Young man,
01:05:12and who exactly
01:05:13are you to question me?
01:05:15I was shaking Wall Street
01:05:16while you were still
01:05:17in diapers.
01:05:18I founded the hummingbird club.
01:05:20You couldn't even
01:05:20find the front door.
01:05:21You've been acting strange
01:05:23since Chicago
01:05:23and now you come here
01:05:24to cause trouble?
01:05:25I knew something
01:05:26was off about him
01:05:27from the moment
01:05:27he walked in,
01:05:28acting mysterious,
01:05:29dressed like a nobody.
01:05:31Who even let him in?
01:05:32He's out of line.
01:05:33Zero is right here.
01:05:34Who does this nobody
01:05:35think he is?
01:05:39Security!
01:05:40Get him out!
01:05:46Let's see what tricks
01:05:47you've got.
01:06:03Long time no see,
01:06:04old friend.
01:06:10He released it!
01:06:14Damien?
01:06:15Is he Zero?
01:06:17I don't know.
01:06:18Anna,
01:06:19I really don't know.
01:06:20Fake!
01:06:21This has to be fake!
01:06:22A guy in dirty work clothes
01:06:24just taps a ring
01:06:26and activates
01:06:26the hummingbird system?
01:06:28If that's real,
01:06:29then I Zero
01:06:31would be a joke!
01:06:31Exactly!
01:06:33My uncle is right!
01:06:34This guy's been acting
01:06:35suspicious since Chicago.
01:06:36In the casino,
01:06:37he couldn't even
01:06:37play cards properly
01:06:38and now he comes here
01:06:40pretending to be
01:06:40someone important?
01:06:41This is just
01:06:42street trickery!
01:06:43I knew it!
01:06:44A bodyguard
01:06:45dressed like a homeless man
01:06:46activating the hummingbird?
01:06:48Impossible!
01:06:49It's obviously a setup!
01:06:50He spent all that time
01:06:51on stage
01:06:52to distract everyone!
01:06:53Even Zero himself
01:06:54said the activation
01:06:55method changed,
01:06:56so of course
01:06:56he can't activate it.
01:06:57He just exploited that!
01:06:59Lord Zero,
01:06:59please don't waste
01:07:00your anger
01:07:00on this nobody.
01:07:02He's just trying
01:07:02to ride your name
01:07:03and make a scene here.
01:07:05I've seen plenty like him
01:07:06climbing from the bottom,
01:07:07begging for attention.
01:07:08That actually makes sense.
01:07:11He really did mess around
01:07:12on stage for a long time.
01:07:14And look at what he's wearing.
01:07:15The founder of
01:07:16the hummingbird club
01:07:17would never show up
01:07:18like that.
01:07:19Kick him out!
01:07:20He even dares
01:07:21impersonate Zero?
01:07:23Since when does this place
01:07:24let anyone walk in
01:07:25and cause trouble?
01:07:29Throw him out!
01:07:39Mr. Shilko!
01:07:40You're finally here!
01:07:54Who's that?
01:07:54Shilko von Naheimann,
01:07:56chief steward
01:07:57of the hummingbird club.
01:07:58This entire venue
01:07:59runs through him.
01:08:00Every summit,
01:08:01invitation,
01:08:01and trillion dollar deal
01:08:02he signed off
01:08:03on all of it.
01:08:04Hold on.
01:08:05He's the guy
01:08:05behind the curtain?
01:08:07The one nobody's
01:08:07ever managed to photograph?
01:08:09That's him.
01:08:09And here's the thing.
01:08:10He personally vets
01:08:11every guest list
01:08:12and verifies
01:08:13every invitation.
01:08:14If anyone alive
01:08:15can instantly spot
01:08:16a fake Zero
01:08:17from the real deal,
01:08:18it's Shilko.
01:08:19Shilko doesn't just
01:08:20walk in unannounced.
01:08:21Something big
01:08:22has to be going down.
01:08:24Good.
01:08:25Let him settle it.
01:08:26One look
01:08:27and he'll know
01:08:28which one of them
01:08:28is the real Zero.
01:08:32Mr. Shilko!
01:08:33Thank goodness
01:08:35you've arrived.
01:08:37This fraud's been
01:08:38posing as Zero
01:08:39since Chicago.
01:08:41Now,
01:08:41he's claiming
01:08:42he founded
01:08:42the hummingbird club
01:08:44itself.
01:08:45It's a direct insult
01:08:47to this entire
01:08:47organization.
01:08:49My uncle Marcus Bill
01:08:50is the real Zero.
01:08:52He said so himself
01:08:53just now.
01:08:55Mr. Shilko,
01:08:56please,
01:08:57throw this fraud
01:08:58and the entire
01:08:59Ross group
01:09:00out of the club.
01:09:01Blacklist them all!
01:09:05Mr. Shilko!
01:09:06I'm Sylvie Astor.
01:09:09I can confirm
01:09:10he's a complete fraud.
01:09:12Please remove him
01:09:12immediately
01:09:13for the sake
01:09:13of the club's reputation.
01:09:15Ladies and gentlemen,
01:09:17I'm here personally
01:09:18tonight because
01:09:19someone inside this club
01:09:20is impersonating Zero.
01:09:22You hear that?
01:09:22Mr. Shilko,
01:09:23someone's impersonating Zero.
01:09:25It's him!
01:09:26Get this fraud
01:09:26out of here already!
01:09:27The man impersonating Zero
01:09:30is Marcus Bill.
01:09:32Five years ago,
01:09:34you submitted
01:09:34three applications
01:09:35to join the club.
01:09:37I rejected
01:09:38every single one.
01:09:44Lord Zero,
01:09:46welcome back.
01:09:58Uncle?
01:10:00You're not Zero?
01:10:01But you just said
01:10:02you were!
01:10:05Security.
01:10:06Remove Marcus Bill,
