00:00I spent 20 years drifting through the slums before my biological parents finally found me.
00:05I thought I finally had a family, and a woman willing to marry me.
00:09Then I opened that door, and realized I never had a home.
00:13I was just the joke.
00:16What are you doing?
00:20Our wedding is tomorrow!
00:25Lane, you should knock before entering someone else's room.
00:28Lane, 20 years in the slums, and you still never learned basic manners?
00:32This is my bridal suite.
00:34You stole 20 years of my life, took my place, and now you're taking my wife too?
00:43Lane, get this straight.
00:46If Andy hadn't felt sorry for you after you came back to the Wintas family,
00:50and given you the chance to marry me,
00:52do you really think you'd be standing here?
00:54Look at yourself.
00:57Crude, dull, reeking of poverty.
01:00Did you really think I'd fall in love with a loser like you?
01:04Then what is tomorrow's wedding supposed to be?
01:07A business deal, brother.
01:09Old Mr. Sterling's will only recognizes the true Winter's bloodline.
01:13You're just the tool we need to get the inheritance.
01:38Andy, what happened?
01:39Are you hurt?
01:42There's broken glass everywhere.
01:44What if it cut your feet?
01:46Mom, I'm the one who almost stepped on the glass.
01:50Didn't you see what they were doing?
01:52My wedding is tomorrow, and Lisa and Andy...
01:55Enough.
01:56Why are you shouting?
01:57Do you want everyone to hear our family's dirty laundry?
02:01Dad, I'm your real son.
02:04If you love him so much, why did you bring me back at all?
02:08You think I wanted you back?
02:11Without the Sterling deal, you would still wash dishes.
02:16Andy has been with us for 20 years.
02:18He knows how to behave.
02:20He knows his place.
02:21He's the real son of this family.
02:23I don't care what you saw today, or how wronged you feel.
02:27Tomorrow, if you are still breathing, you will finish the wedding.
02:33If you ruin the Sterling deal, you can crawl back to the slums.
02:37I waited 20 years.
02:39I hoped for 20 years.
02:43Turns out, in their eyes, I wasn't a person.
02:48I was a blood bag they dragged back, only because I could buy them profit.
03:13Stop using my father's will against me.
03:16My father arranged that marriage.
03:19He's dead now.
03:21The Sterling family answers to me.
03:23Tell them I'm not interested in women.
03:25If anyone tries to shove another bride at me, I'll feed them to the fish.
03:29I didn't catch the last name that terrified half of New York.
03:32I only heard one thing.
03:34I'm not interested in women.
03:42Stand up.
03:43My whole life, I had bowed my head and back down.
03:47I tried to please my parents and the fiancé who never even looked at me.
03:51I lived worse than a dog and still never got a shred of mercy.
03:55So why should I keep being the good little sacrifice?
04:09From the bar to his penthouse suite, I didn't say a word.
04:14I just wanted pain and madness to carve that so-called family and tomorrow's humiliating wedding out of my head.
04:27You came to me yourself.
04:28Too late to be scared now.
04:42I had seen that crest countless times in the thick files they forced me to memorize.
04:46It belonged to one of New York's most powerful families.
04:49The Sterlings.
04:50Wasn't that Lisa's last name?
04:52I was supposed to marry the Sterling daughter today.
04:54But last night, I slept with a Sterling?
04:57I slept with a Sterling.
05:05Can you at least stop?
05:06There are hundreds of media people and guests outside.
05:12Do you have to humiliate me right now?
05:19Lane, are you taking this act a little too seriously?
05:23Today, all you have to do is stand at the altar like a puppet, sign the papers, and get us
05:28the deal.
05:29Don't start believing.
05:31Don't start believing.
05:31You're actually my groom.
05:34They didn't even bother pretending anymore.
05:38This grand wedding was just the public execution stage they built for me.
05:53Fake.
05:55They had planned this little show from the start, just to tell all of New York that I was trash
05:58they could throw away any time.
06:03Andy!
06:05Andy!
06:05Andy!
06:05Andy, what's wrong?
06:06What's wrong?
06:11Lisa!
06:24Call an ambulance!
06:26Now!
06:27Andy!
06:28Andy!
06:29My poor boy!
06:30My poor boy!
06:30Why are you still standing there?
06:32Are you blind?
06:33Can't you see how sick Andy is?
06:36Not one person looked back at me like this.
06:38At what should have been the brightest moment of my life, I stood there like a stripped down clown, while
06:44New York's elite pointed and whispered.
06:46What's wrong with this?
07:13D-Dad?
07:15Dad?
07:16Lisa called him.
07:17Dad?
07:18The man I slept with last night, the man who said he would take over my life, was Lisa's father.
07:24Dad.
07:25Andy is really sick.
07:27If we don't get him to the hospital now-
07:28If he's dying, then get him to a hospital.
07:32Don't let him die on Sterling property.
07:54I had been abandoned again.
07:56I should have known.
07:57No matter how terrifying this man was, no matter how much power he held, he was still Lisa's father.
08:01He drove them out only to protect his daughter's dignity, to clear away an Iser like me.
08:05Of course.
08:06Even now, all anyone sees is Andy.
08:08I'm a joke who doesn't even deserve a supporting role.
08:17Where are you going?
08:19The bride ran off with someone else.
08:21Why should a spare tool like me stay here, so everyone can laugh a little longer?
08:27Who said this wedding was over?
08:30What do you mean?
08:31When the Sterling family promises a marriage halfway-
08:33Today, I will take my daughter's place, and finish this wedding with you myself.
08:45In the darkness, forbidden memories rush in uncontrollable and wild.
08:49That's so cool.
08:49Lane, Doth, stop thinking nonsense.
08:51He's your father-in-law.
08:52Suddenly, a loud bang shatters the silence of the room.
08:55She stands at the door, cold and demanding.
08:58Why are you still standing here?
08:59Go buy me a box of condoms.
09:01I ran two blocks through freezing rain, only to bring back the weapon they would use to humiliate
09:06what little dignity I had left.
09:08Lisa, did you really make him buy condoms?
09:11Your husband on paper is getting stoked.
09:13What husband?
09:14He's a dog.
09:15Exactly.
09:16Slum Trash thinks he deserves to live here.
09:18I should have understood long ago.
09:19I should never have hoped.
09:21And I definitely should never have wanted anything from that dangerous devil.
09:26Where are you going this late?
09:32Jason rises from the shadows.
09:34His black silk-
09:35Away from here!
09:36Away from all of you!
09:37I never belonged here anyway.
09:43Your tears are not for trash like them.
09:46They're only for love, and for desire that consumes you, like that night in my bed.
09:51You're insane!
09:52Let me go!
09:53We can't do this!
09:55You're Lisa's father.
09:57This is your manor!
09:59So what?
10:00Lane!
10:01Where the hell did you go, you useless bastard?
10:03Did you go to the moon for condoms?
10:10Dad?
10:12What are you doing?
10:19Dad?
10:21I didn't know it was you down here.
10:23I thought it was some servant who didn't know his place.
10:28Thought it was what?
10:29Your fiance running around again?
10:34Yes, Dad.
10:35I sent him to buy something.
10:37He never came back.
10:39Buy something?
10:40The thing you were screaming about?
10:42On one side, he was scolding his daughter in the coldest, most ortorative voice.
10:45On the other, with the hottest, most desire-soaked touch, he was playing with her husband on paper right under
10:50her nose.
10:55Dad, I'm sorry.
10:57I didn't know you were still awake.
10:59You bring some man into Sterling Manon to fool around, then stand in my foyer screaming.
11:07Lisa, have I been too easy on you?
11:13Dad?
11:14What was that?
11:15Is Lanean over there?
11:17What happened to him?
11:20Him?
11:21He wandered into my territory without knowing his place, then tried to run.
11:27I'm teaching him what sterling rules mean.
11:30Dad, gutter trash like him needs to be taught a lesson.
11:34Don't let him ruin your night.
11:35Go upstairs.
11:37Tell that Winters boy upstairs.
11:39One more sound, and I'll throw him out.
11:41Now get out of my sight.
11:43Yes.
11:44I'm leaving right now.
11:52Cold wall.
11:54You're insane.
11:56What if she came down and saw us?
11:58Afraid of what?
11:59That she'll see exactly how her untouchable father pins her fiancé against a wall and spoils him?
12:03In that rush of fear and guilt, I realized something that terrified me.
12:07When Jason's fingers traced my waist, my body reacted to the forbidden thrill before I could hide it.
12:12Tonight, you're sleeping in my room.
12:17Less than 20 minutes ago, I was almost thrown out of the Manon and onto the street.
12:22Now, I was standing in the bedroom of the most untouchable man in New York.
12:26I...
12:27I want to take a shower first.
12:29Go ahead.
12:30Pajamas are in the walk-in closet.
12:32Help yourself.
12:33I don't think I need to teach you how.
12:41In that room, everything smelled like money and power.
12:47The 20 years I spent in the slums felt exposed under every cold, expensive light.
12:52Driven by curiosity, Lane pushed the secret door completely open.
12:56An eerie, suggestive red light slowly illuminated the hidden chamber.
13:01I thought the Jason Sterling the world knew was already terrifying enough.
13:08I never imagined that under those perfect tailored suits, something even more dangerous was hiding.
13:15Lane's breathing became shallow, his legs heavy as red.
13:19He stepped forward, drawn to the black whip.
13:22His trembling finger gently touched the cold leather.
13:26What did that catch up?
13:27Startled by the voice, Lane flinched violently in sheer terror.
13:31The leather whip slipped from his trembling hand, slamming onto the floor.
13:42The moment of true truth.
13:44He can't run, and he can't hide.
13:46The hunter has cornered his prey.
13:48I didn't mean to.
13:49I was just looking for pajamas, and touched the door by accident.
13:54I didn't see anything.
13:55He thought he could hide, but the darkness always finds its way.
13:59And tonight, the darkness has a name.
14:02Some mistakes can only be paid for in pain.
14:07You didn't see anything?
14:10I'm afraid you're mistaken.
14:12Once you step in here, you don't get to leave that easily.
14:16Pick one.
14:17How should I teach you tonight's rules?
14:19In that second, a thousand terrible endings flashed through my mind.
14:23I thought this beast in a man's skin was finally going to devour me whole.
14:41It's so easy to scare.
14:43I'm kidding.
14:45But the way you shake when you're scared, it's kind of adorable.
14:54He had suddenly pulled back all his dangerous, suffocating era.
15:01Shower, then get some sleep.
15:03S-sleep where?
15:07My bed, obviously.
15:09What about you?
15:09I'll be in the study handling some files.
15:12The room is yours tonight.
15:14Don't touch any more switches in there.
15:16Next time, I won't stop at scaring you.
15:19The man was absolutely insane.
15:21He could push me to the edge with no effort, then let me breathe just as easily.
15:25And somehow, in that moment, I felt strangely safe.
15:28Bright morning sunlight streams through the corridor windows.
15:33Lisa, Mr. Sterling was furious last night.
15:37If we ask him to breakfast, he'll see how thoughtful we are.
15:42Of course. I am his only daughter.
15:44He was just anger-angry last night.
15:47As for that loser, Lane, he is probably begging on the streets now.
15:52Dad, are you awake?
15:54Andy and I came to ask you to breakfast.
16:00There is no response from inside.
16:02Lisa grabs the gilded handle and pushes the door open.
16:05Lisa walks into the quiet room, completely unaware of what lies ahead.
16:10Dad, I had the staff ground your coffee exactly the way you like it.
16:14Lane frowns in his sleep as approaching footsteps disturb him.
16:16He rolls over, his loose silk pajamas slipping to reveal his neck.
16:19Lane rubs his sleepy eyes, slowly waking up in the soft bed.
16:23He lifts his head from the pillow and locks eyes with Lisa and Andy by the bed.
16:30Lisa freezes instantly in complete shock.
16:32Andy's coffee cup shakes violently, spilling hot liquid on his hand.
16:38Lane?
16:40What are you doing here?
16:42Why are you sleeping in my dad's bed?
16:48The bedroom was dead silent.
16:51Then it exploded with a scream.
16:53My mind went completely blank, caught in the act.
16:57I desperately clutched the blanket, my knuckles turning pale.
17:01You disgusting little slut!
17:04You actually crawled into my father's bed?
17:08Have you no shame?
17:11Brother, even if you got kicked out of your room,
17:14you cannot use something this dirty to get back at Lisa.
17:18If Mr. Sterling finds out, he will kill you.
17:22My heart was pounding, my face pale.
17:24How could I explain this?
17:26I was done.
17:27My fiancé had caught me in her father's bed.
17:29A scandal this filthy could ruin me in New York for good.
17:32Just as Lisa was about to rip the blanket off,
17:34the study door swung open.
17:36Jason stepped out in a tailored dark shirt,
17:38calmly adjusting his silver cufflink.
17:40His eyes swept over the spilled cup on the carpet,
17:42then locked onto the furious Lisa.
17:44Who gave you permission to barge into my room,
17:47without knocking?
17:48Hearing her father's voice,
17:50Lisa immediately puts on a deeply abridged face,
17:52tears streaming down her cheek.
17:53Dad, you're finally here.
17:54Look at this shameless trap in your bed.
17:55He snuck in while you were gone and climbed into your bed.
18:05I told him to sleep here.
18:07Do you have a problem with that?
18:11What?
18:12Dad, are you out of your mind?
18:14He is slum trash!
18:15How could you humiliate me?
18:17Daughter, Lisa,
18:20a few years of privilege made you forget where you came from.
18:24You're just an adopted girl from an orphanage to appease my father.
18:29You have a single drop of sterling blood?
18:33Adopted?
18:35The mighty sterling heiress who called me slum trash was just a fake.
18:40She has no sterling blood at all.
18:42That was Jason's cruelest slap.
18:45No!
18:46That's impossible!
18:48Dad, you're lying to me!
18:49In my house, drop that cheap screaming act.
18:52Don't embarrass the sterling name.
18:54Try it again,
18:55and I'll send you back where you belong.
19:12Mr. Sterling,
19:14please don't be angry.
19:17Lisa was just upset.
19:19She didn't mean any disrespect.
19:23By the way, Mr. Sterling,
19:24the Winters family is hosting a private reception in a few days.
19:29If we had the honor of your presence,
19:32my father would be thrilled.
19:50A Winters family gathering?
19:52Fine.
19:53I'll be there.
19:56And I'm bringing him with me.
20:25Mr. Sterling,
20:26we're honored you could join me.
20:39Join us!
20:41Mr. Sterling,
20:42this is a bottle from my father's private collection.
20:45Please try it.
20:47Brother,
20:48have some too.
20:49Though after growing up in the slums,
20:51you may not be used to wine at events like this.
20:53If it's too much for you,
20:55go help the staff in the kitchen.
20:56You're good at that, right?
20:58Don't stand here and embarrass Mr. Sterling.
21:00Lane,
21:01did you not hear your brother?
21:03We're discussing deals worth hundreds of millions.
21:07If you can't follow,
21:09step aside.
21:10Stop embarrassing us.
21:1320 years
21:14In my real father's eyes,
21:16I would always be a stain.
21:18They didn't even bother hiding it.
21:20They wanted to grind me into the dirt.
21:23Just to lift up the fake son they were so proud of.
21:57Mr. Sterling,
21:59what are you f-
22:05Embarrassing?
22:06I brought him here myself, and you told him to go work in the kitchen?
22:11You let a fake who stole someone else's life bark over the real heir.
22:17Victor, it sounds like the Wintz family doesn't want a future in New York.
22:33Mr. Sterling, this is a misunderstanding. Lane only just came back to the family.
22:39We were only... Wait. What about our East Coast development project with Sterling Capital?
22:46Canceled.
22:49What?
22:54Not just the East Coast project.
22:58Starting tonight, Sterling Capital is pulling out of every deal with the Wintz family.
23:10Everyone here, listen carefully.
23:14Before sunrise tomorrow, anyone doing business with Wintz is my enemy.
23:22One sentence. Just one sentence.
23:25Jason crushed the money, status, and family glory Vitter valued most like they were nothing.
23:31Dad, you can't do this.
23:34What about Grand Rampas' will?
23:36You must marry a Wintz to inherit.
23:41Or we will lose the entire group.
23:48Exactly, Mr. Sterling. The will is ironclap.
23:50If you blacklist us, you destroy your future.
23:53Just let Lane marry Lisa as planned.
23:57We can cooperate.
23:59Why burn everything down?
24:07The will?
24:10One week before he died, the old man amended the addendum.
24:13As long as they are Winter's bloodline, the marriage is valid.
24:20Impossible!
24:21Grandpa arranged my marriage to the Wintons' son.
24:23You're lying!
24:25We adopted you to give the old man peace of mind.
24:28Your place in that engagement ended the day he died.
24:30And one more thing.
24:32I don't need a marriage to survive.
24:35I built the Sterling Empire on hands.
24:38Will or no will, the other branches of the family are not strong enough to touch my seat.
24:43Also, Lisa, effective immediately, your status as the Sterling family's adopted daughter is revoked.
24:49Every property, black card, and share under your name will be taken back.
24:53You are cut out of the family trust and records.
24:55From now on, you have nothing to do with Sterling.
25:09Did you plan all of this from the start?
25:13The will only gave me an opening.
25:16Wanting you was the truth.
25:18That night at the bar, when you grabbed me and kissed me, I chose you.
25:25But I don't love you.
25:26I don't love men.
25:29I'm not a toy for you people to pass around.
25:47You hid behind the will, blacklisted the Winters family, and protected me in public.
25:52That was never love.
25:54You just hate losing.
25:56You just want control.
25:58You're used to everyone obeying you, including me.
26:02I control the market and my family because power requires it.
26:06But with you, my losing control is instinct.
26:13Losing control?
26:14I was supposed to marry Lisa.
26:17I'm the younger man you pulled into this arrangement.
26:20I've only ever liked women.
26:23I didn't survive 20 years of hell just to become your bedwayer.
26:28I kissed you at that bar because I was drunk and broken.
26:32I was just trying to hurt everyone back.
26:34Jack, it wasn't love.
26:38That church wedding was a chain you forced onto me.
26:42I understand.
26:43I won't force you to admit feelings you're not ready for.
26:49I won't force you to accept being with a man, and I won't force you to answer me right now.
26:54Now, I'll only do two things, protect you and wait for you.
26:59Until you come to me willingly, I'll respect your space and your boundaries.
27:10Prepare the private guest suit in the West Wing.
27:13Replace everything inside and put it under private security.
27:18No one goes near it without Mr. Layden's permission.
27:22You don't have to bend over backward for me.
27:24This isn't bending over backward.
27:26It's respect.
27:27The master bedroom is my space.
27:30If you don't want to enter it, I won't force you.
27:32That night in the entryway and what happened in the dark room, I crossed a line.
27:38From now on, I won't touch you without your permission.
27:41I thought he would lock me down and force me to surrender.
27:45After all, he had enough power to crush every bit of resistance distance I had.
27:51But instead, he pulled back his claws and took half a step away.
27:57That tiny retreat cracked the first line in the walls around my heart.
28:03Out there, he was ruthless and cold-parted.
28:10But in silence, he had learned every small habit I never mentioned.
28:15Every wound I could never put into words.
28:20What he wanted was never a brief possession.
28:24He wanted to hold all of me.
28:26Even my past.
28:32In the cool morning mist, Lane sits alone on the riddle chair.
28:36He stares at the news of the Winters family bankruptcy.
28:40His eyes are filled with complicated emotions.
28:44Jason jogs in the morning mist, wearing simple athletic clothes.
28:48He stops at a distance, quietly watching Lane without disturbing him.
28:53A cold morning breeze sweeps across the terrace, making Lane shiver.
28:59A warm jacket is gently daped over his shoulders from behind.
29:06The morning wind is cold.
29:08Don't catch a chill.
29:11I'll be in the garden.
29:13Call me if you need anything.
29:19Aren't you afraid I'll use you?
29:20I hate the Winters family.
29:22I could pretend to fall for you.
29:23Use your power to crush Andy and Emily.
29:26Take back everything that belongs to me and walk away when I'm done.
29:32I know.
29:33Even if you use me, fake your love, and leave afterward, I'd still let you.
29:37Someone should settle the score for everything you suffered over the past 20 years.
29:42I'll be that blade.
29:43Lane was stunned, looking up into Jason's eyes.
29:45There was no lust or control, only absolute devotion.
29:49For 20 years, everyone had used him.
29:51Only Jason asked for nothing in return.
29:53The servants were away, leaving the mansion's grand kitchen quiet and empty.
29:58Lane cooked simple noodles from the slums, his movement skilled yet heartbreaking.
30:03Jason entered quietly and leaned against the doorframe, watching Lane cook.
30:07Lane's wrist wobbled, causing the hot soup pot to shake unsteadily.
30:11Jason quickly stepped forward to stabilize the pot, gently adjusting the heat.
30:17A man like you, head of a family empire, actually knows how to cook?
30:22After my wife passed, I lived alone for years.
30:26No one took care of me, so I learned to take care of myself.
30:29I know what it feels like to be alone with no one to rely on.
30:33I don't want you to go through that again.
30:35He remembered my preferences, preparing it exactly to my taste.
30:40No one has ever cared for me like this before.
30:43This simple meal touched the deepest void in my heart.
30:46My parents always favored Andy, and my fiancé trampled on me.
30:51The whole world demanded that I be sensible and yield.
30:55Only Jason accommodated all my preferences and shared my deep loneliness.
31:01Why are you so good to me?
31:03Because you deserve it.
31:06Not because of blood, or a will, or profit.
31:12Just because you deserve it.
31:14As the sunset glow fills the hallway, Lane stands at the door and stops Jason.
31:21Jason stops his steps, slowly turning around to look at him.
31:25I don't hate having you close, but I can't accept the titles, the judgment, you're older.
31:32You're the man who destroyed the family I was born into.
31:36Everything about us was wrong from the start, then I'll strip all of that away.
31:41No seniority, no adoptive father title.
31:44No family interests.
31:46Just Jason.
31:48Just a man who wants you.
31:51My resistance was never because I hated him.
31:54I feared the judgment.
31:56I feared falling for someone, and being abandoned all over again.
32:01But he dismantled my fears, and my hatred slowly softened.
32:10The truth is a fragile thing.
32:12Once broken, it can never be put back together the same way.
32:15And he was about to risk everything to find it.
32:17I want to ask you something.
32:19That day in the church, why did you walk up there and marry me no matter the cost?
32:25First, when I saw you standing under that cross, humiliated and laughed at by everyone, it hurt me.
32:31Second, that night at the bar, when you looked shattered and kissed me like you had nothing left to lose,
32:37I fell for you.
32:41In 41 years, I had never lost control over anyone before.
32:46Lisa was only ever adopted, and the engagement was always revosable.
32:52I simply used the will as a lawful excuse to keep you.
32:57I can't tell the difference between dependence, safety, and love.
33:03I grew up starved for love.
33:07You give me favoritism.
33:09You protect me.
33:11And I think I'm slowly becoming unable to leave you.
33:15But I still care about what people will say.
33:19And I still care about how absurdly this started.
33:23The rain beats on the window as Jason steps forward gently.
33:28You don't have to define love right away.
33:32Don't force yourself to figure it all out tonight.
33:35You don't have to admit you like me right now.
33:39You don't have to announce us to the world.
33:43You don't have to face anyone's judgment before you're ready.
33:47You can test the waters and accept this at your own pace.
33:53I can wait until you let go of the past.
33:56Until you stop blaming yourself.
33:59Until you can face your own heart without fear.
34:04One year, three years, ten years.
34:11I'll wait.
34:12Lane looked up, all hostility and warriness fading from his eyes.
34:15He stood on his tiptoes to gently touch Jason's lips.
34:18Lane blushed deeply and hurriedly stepped back in a panic.
34:21I don't pull away from you.
34:23Not at all.
34:24Maybe I went off course a long time ago.
34:28The moment you married me in that church.
34:31The moment you protected me, I fell for you.
34:34I resisted.
34:35I struggled.
34:36I hated myself for it.
34:38I cared about age, status, and the guilt of a relationship that began so wrong.
34:44But love does not care about gender or titles.
34:48Or whether the beginning was messy.
34:52The whole world abandoned me.
34:55Only Jason chose me, protected me, and favored me.
35:00I stopped obsessing over right and wrong.
35:04I only wanted to run towards the one person who would fight the world for me.
35:12I hated the Winters family for 20 years of favoritism and use.
35:17But late at night, it still hurt.
35:19I had waited 20 years for family, only to find out it was all calculation.
35:27When you were a kid in the slums, did you go hungry a lot?
35:34Yeah.
35:35My foster mom was kind, but she barely made anything.
35:39I had to work since I was little, fight for odd jobs, dodge street thugs.
35:43I've lived through all of it.
35:45When the Winters family found me, I really thought the worst was over.
35:47I learned to hide my slum habits, wear suits, learn etiquette, praise my parents, accommodate Andy, obey Lisa.
35:55I just wanted a home.
35:58From now on, this is your home.
36:02No one will bully you.
36:04No one will abandon you.
36:06And you don't have to please anyone.
36:10Winter's blood is a chain, not a home.
36:13The home I give you will hold for the rest of your life.
36:18Sir, the shutdown order has been fully executed.
36:21Winter's biotech's banking partnerships have been terminated, and investment angst pulled out.
36:24The supply chain is cut off, and partners canceled overnight, and the banks have started calling in large loans.
36:29Also, all private accounts under Andy's name are under control, and Lisa's assets are frozen.
36:33Neither of them has any liquid assets left.
36:35Also, all private accounts under Andy's name are under control, and Lisa's assets are frozen.
36:40Neither of them has any liquid assets left.
36:42Victor is facing a $700 million shortfall, and he has no way to cover it.
36:46Increase the collection pressure and cut off Victor's last financing channels.
36:50And put eyes on Aunt Andy around the clock.
36:53He is jealous, vicious, and desperate enough to retaliate against Lane.
36:57Understood.
36:58Plainclothes security has been assigned to protect Mr. Lane.
37:01Protect every hair on his head.
37:03If you get so much as a scratch, everyone will answer.
37:07Yes, sir.
37:09The news of the Winter's empire falling fills the screen.
37:12The once-powerful family is on the verge of collapse overnight.
37:15I never wanted to destroy everything my birth parents had with my own hands.
37:19But when they crushed my heart first, they earned the backlash.
37:31It's over.
37:33Everything is over.
37:35The banks seized our assets.
37:37The whole industry blacklisted us, and we're bankrupt.
37:41Twenty years of work gone overnight.
37:44Why?
37:45Why is Jason driving us into the ground?
37:48Bane is the one at fault.
37:49He shamelessly seduced an older man.
37:51He ruined us!
37:54It's Lane.
37:55This is all Lane's fault.
37:56If he had behaved and won through with the married, our family wouldn't be bankrupt.
37:59I wouldn't have lost everything.
38:01He stole my identity.
38:02Stole Lisa.
38:03And now he's stealing my entire life.
38:06I won't let him get away with it.
38:08I have nothing left.
38:10I'm just an adopted daughter.
38:13I'm nobody.
38:25Victor spent his whole life chasing profit.
38:27He treated his own son like a bargaining chib, favored the fake heir, and burned whatever future his family had
38:32for profit.
38:33In the end, he paid for it.
38:45It wasn't your fault.
38:48His greed and selfishness destroyed him.
38:51I didn't want him dead.
38:52I know.
38:54I want to go back to the slums and get what my foster mother left me.
38:59It's the only thing I've ever truly had.
39:01That area is dangerous.
39:03I'll go with you.
39:05I want to go alone and put the past to rest.
39:07I'll be back soon.
39:11Be careful.
39:12If anything happens, call me first.
39:14I'll come right away.
39:15I wanted to say goodbye to my painful past alone.
39:18I didn't know that Andy, desperate and out of planins, was already waiting at the mouth of the alley with
39:22a trap.
39:27The day after the banquet, I returned alone to the slums, where I had lived for 20 years.
39:32I only wanted to take the last few things my foster mother left behind.
39:36But I underestimated how insane people can become when they are cornered.
39:40Pretty face.
39:42No wonder those powerful men lose their minds over you.
39:45Too bad someone paid to have you killed.
39:49Lane, you think you won?
39:52Because of you.
39:53The Winters family is bankrupt.
39:55Debt collectors drove my father to jump off a building.
39:58My mother went insane, and I can't even afford a burger now.
40:02Why does trash like you get to stand above me?
40:05While I hide in the gutter like a rat?
40:08You brought this on yourselves.
40:09Andy, you stole my life and enjoyed it for 20 years.
40:12Now you're just giving back what you stole.
40:14Beat him!
40:15Break his legs!
40:16Cut up that pretty face!
40:18Let's see if Jason still wants him when he's disfigured and crippled.
40:31I stared at the iron bar coming down and refused to close my eyes.
40:35In what I thought was the last second of my life, the thing that flashed through my mind
40:39wasn't my miserable 20 years.
40:41It was Jason's bottomless dark eyes.
40:43Suddenly, I regretted one thing.
40:45I had never truly held him.
40:48I had never truly held him.
41:25Mr. Sterling!
41:26Please!
41:27I'll never do it again!
41:29Break his hands and feet.
41:31Cut out his tongue.
41:33If someone under Sterling protection spills one drop of blood,
41:37your entire Winton's family pays for it with their lives.
41:41The truth is always the first casualty.
41:53Don't be mad.
41:55I'm not dead, am I?
42:00Didn't I tell you to come to me first?
42:03When something happens?
42:06Come on.
42:07Who gave you permission to come back to this dump alone?
42:09Do you have any idea what I just...
42:12Don't be mad.
42:17The taste of blood and the cold scent of cedar tangled wildly between our lips.
42:22At that moment, I finally felt it with absolute clarity.
42:26This cold, ruthless titan of capital had put his one weakness in my hand.
42:36Three years had passed.
42:39The Winters family had long been a dead name in New York business circles.
42:43Something no one dared mention.
42:46Andy and Lisa vanished from our eye world like rats in a sewer.
42:51And I didn't crawl back to the slums.
42:54I put down roots beside the most untouchable man in all of New York.
43:03If you're awake, get up.
43:04We have a board meeting this morning.
43:06Whose fault is that?
43:08Jason, did you forget you're 44?
43:10Last night you were insane.
43:14Calling me old?
43:16Then last night's lesson clearly wasn't enough.
43:19The last thing he remembered was the party.
43:21Waking up here was the last thing he expected.
43:23And he wasn't alone.
43:24He always knew exactly what I needed before I even asked.
43:27In this world of lies, his touch was the only truth.
43:31But even truths have a price.
43:33So Mr. Sterling is my personal driver and my stylist now?
43:37I only serve my lawful spouse.
43:41You're giving the final presentation on today's acquisition.
43:44Let me see how much of my playbook Sterling Group's other powerholder has learned in the past three years.
43:5320 years ago, I wasn't even allowed to own my own name.
43:58Three years ago, they treated me like a pawn they could throw away at any moment.
44:02Now, I sit at the most powerful table in North America and give the orders.
44:08Mr. Sterling, Director Lane's proposal is flawless.
44:11It's just the risk rating.
44:14Perhaps we should be a little more conservative?
44:17Do it his way.
44:18My husband's decision is my decision.
44:20If anything goes wrong, Sterling Group will take the hit.
44:34Jason.
44:38Hmm?
44:39I saw the way you looked at me in the conference room today.
44:44Do you feel like you raised a very fierce monster with your own hands?
44:48No.
44:49I think it's the most brilliant vestment I've ever made.
44:52And this monster belongs to me alone.
44:56I used to think a real home had to be tied by blood.
45:00Later, I understood.
45:03True belonging is someone willing to carve a bloody path for you.
45:07No matter how deep you fall,
45:10then place the crown on your head with his own hands.
45:13No matter what their niacinac,
45:13it's the most brilliant case.
45:13I was in this person around you.
45:13I don't want to get saved everything.
