00:00:09You can just get to the point. I'm missing an important meeting.
00:00:13I understand, but I can't commence the reading of your father's will without your father's.
00:00:20What the actual fuck? It's noon and you're drunk already.
00:00:25Hello, Frankie.
00:00:27Good boy.
00:00:31Let's get decided, shall we?
00:00:35Your father's last will and testament read before his two sons as stipulated.
00:00:41In the event of my death, all wealth belonging to me, including cash, properties, shares, and stocks, will only be
00:00:48inherited by one of my sons.
00:00:51Under the condition that he marries a woman of humble background within six months.
00:00:56That's bullshit. We all know it.
00:00:59Sir, this is your father's updated will. He was of sound mind when it was revised.
00:01:04Revised? When?
00:01:07A few weeks before his death.
00:01:08I assure you these are his true wishes. If you'll please get seated, son.
00:01:13You fucking son.
00:01:15Take your fucking seat, Jack.
00:01:17It seems there's more we need to hear.
00:01:20That woman has already been chosen by me, Evangeline Harris.
00:01:24She's the daughter of Anna Harris, the woman who nursed and cared for me when I was ill.
00:01:29By all accounts, she's a good, decent woman.
00:01:31I realize that this stipulation might seem unusual, but to my disappointment, you have both grown overly arrogant and dismissive
00:01:38of those you consider to be inferior to you in both social standing and in wealth.
00:01:42My hope is that it will teach you to sustain a healthy relationship regardless of class or status.
00:01:46I pray that everything gets resolved with fairness, love, and kindness.
00:01:57This makes no sense at all. Marrying a stranger? How do we even get in touch with this woman? Evangeline...
00:02:06Evangeline Harris, your father has included contact details for both her and her mother, so getting in touch with her
00:02:11won't be an issue.
00:02:13Seem a little bit composed, brother. Something like to tell me.
00:02:17I beg your pardon?
00:02:19Seem a little calm the whole way. A little too well. It's almost like I could see if you already
00:02:24knew what was happening.
00:02:25Please tell me that's a joke. I'm concerned about how to get up to the bottom of this, and you're
00:02:30concerned that I'm just not falling apart.
00:02:33You were here before me. God knows for how long.
00:02:37Yeah, because I understand punctuality. Unlike you, you chose to be late, as usual.
00:02:45So don't forget that you're daddy's little favourite, hey? Who knows what else he'd give you a little hint about
00:02:50the will.
00:02:51Mm-hmm.
00:02:52For fuck's sake, Jack. Don't start this shit now. We need to be working together, not taking stabs at each
00:02:58other.
00:03:00Okay. I'm going to say dearest brother. But we all know the truth, and that always will come out in
00:03:06the end.
00:03:08Oh, come on, Jack. Don't be such a clown. Dad would want us to work as a team, no matter
00:03:13what.
00:03:15You think he's not there anymore, huh?
00:04:00Hey, this is the hundredth voicemail I've left you.
00:04:05Call me when you get this one.
00:04:11Tony boy, how'd you be looking for me?
00:04:15Speak of the devil.
00:04:17Where the fuck have you been?
00:04:18I've been trying to contact you for days.
00:04:20Been here, there, you know.
00:04:23No.
00:04:24I don't know.
00:04:25And can you stop playing with that?
00:04:27You always make a mess of things.
00:04:29And you're always trying to control things.
00:04:31Maybe you should understand how things really work.
00:04:34What are you talking about?
00:04:36Are you drunk right now?
00:04:37Because you're not making much sense.
00:04:39Nope.
00:04:40Servers are none.
00:04:41Enough of the cryptic talk.
00:04:42Then why are you so late to work if you're not on one of your vendors?
00:04:46John, John.
00:04:47You always focus on the things that aren't important.
00:04:50Why don't you just give a little?
00:04:51The things that aren't important.
00:04:53Did you realize that this company didn't die along with Dad?
00:04:56We actually have to keep it alive.
00:04:59Well, like we have you then, hey.
00:05:02Actually, best be on it.
00:05:03I'm going to be going.
00:05:04I'll just chat another time.
00:05:05Where the fuck are you off to now?
00:05:16You pulled a quick one on me, didn't you?
00:05:18To think that I was worried about you, only to find out you had been in contact with Evangeline Harris.
00:05:24Damn, bro.
00:05:25Did you run here?
00:05:26Hey, easy tiger.
00:05:29What can I say?
00:05:30I'll work better alone.
00:05:32Besides, this situation is best men wins.
00:05:35I don't see that both of us are getting married to her.
00:05:38Welcome.
00:05:41Jack, I see you're here early this time.
00:05:43This wouldn't be a bit worth the time.
00:05:46Heads up to my brother, didn't you?
00:05:48Actually, I was obligated to share this information with both of you at the same time.
00:05:52Thank you for informing me, Mr. Frank.
00:05:54God knows if it were up to Jack, I'd still be up at the office.
00:05:58It should be worth the time.
00:05:59Shut up, jackass.
00:06:07Miss Harris won't be coming to the meeting, and we all know what that means.
00:06:11Without her, nothing can move forward.
00:06:15Damn it.
00:06:44Come in.
00:06:51Mum?
00:06:52What are you doing here?
00:06:54I don't know where you're doing this to the fire.
00:06:56Evangeline, you look a mess.
00:06:57How many times have I told you your appearance matters all the time?
00:07:06I'm doing housework, Mum.
00:07:08Am I supposed to have a full base of make-up work?
00:07:10Oh, well, I really don't know why you have to live in such a little shabby place.
00:07:15Surely you can find somewhere better.
00:07:17Your standards are so high.
00:07:19It's not like I can afford a mansion on the same salary.
00:07:22And besides, I like it here.
00:07:23It's nice and it's cozy.
00:07:25Well, that's why life presents you with opportunities,
00:07:29and you've got to grab them when they're presented to you.
00:07:32Of course.
00:07:33I believe you were invited to a meeting by the Blackthorn Toys.
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:41How did you know about that?
00:07:42Oh, never mind.
00:07:42Why didn't you go?
00:07:43Because it seemed shady.
00:07:46I've never spoken to that man before.
00:07:48And I only know the name Blackthorn because you've worked for the latest Blackthorn.
00:07:53What do you mean after that with me?
00:07:55And you just dodged my question.
00:07:57How do you know about that meeting?
00:07:58Because I set it up.
00:08:08What do you mean you set it up?
00:08:10What business do you still have with our family after your patient died?
00:08:13What's going on, Mum?
00:08:14Calm down, child.
00:08:15Let me explain.
00:08:17You see, when he kind of started opening up to me and talking about his life,
00:08:22about his late wife and twins,
00:08:24and you see, he even asked about my life.
00:08:27That's interesting, but that doesn't quite answer anything.
00:08:30But you see, when we got talking,
00:08:32we realized that we could possibly help each other.
00:08:34You see, he realized that his two sons had a bit of a,
00:08:38let's call it a classist issue.
00:08:41You mean they're pretentious rich white freaks?
00:08:43That's not surprising, but what does that have to do with anything?
00:08:46Well, you see, he hoped for them to have a little bit more empathy
00:08:49and be a little bit less pretentious.
00:08:51And I said, my daughter actually has the opposite challenge.
00:08:55She's poor and humble and needed to step up socially.
00:08:58What?
00:09:00You told him that about me?
00:09:02Parents talk about their kids.
00:09:04You see, I told him that you were fussy about,
00:09:06you know, the men you were dating, lacking in a bit of ambition.
00:09:10And, you know, Mr. Blackthorn was really alone at that time
00:09:13and his two boys was always just too busy to visit him.
00:09:16He might have been a little muddled at that point,
00:09:19but anyway, we still came to an agreement.
00:09:21What's your agreement, Mum?
00:09:23Well, he added in his will that one of his sons needed to marry you
00:09:28in order to inherit his will.
00:09:31You can't be serious.
00:09:33You're joking, right?
00:09:34No, wait.
00:09:36Let me finish.
00:09:37I am serious.
00:09:39You mean you agreed to sell me like a cheap pimp?
00:09:58You told that old man that I was a sad loser,
00:10:01that I would jump with a chance to marry one of his sons.
00:10:04So what if I don't have a man in my life or many friends?
00:10:08That's my choice.
00:10:09Mine.
00:10:10Now, I don't give a damn what you think.
00:10:13You look me in the eye and you tell me that you are fulfilled
00:10:16with everything that you have and everything you don't have
00:10:19and that you never had a thought that your life would be much easier
00:10:24if you had more.
00:10:25If you had more money, more status, and more opportunities.
00:10:29Yet, I thought as much.
00:10:33I only ever wanted what was good for you.
00:10:38All the things that I never had in my life growing up.
00:10:42The things I never achieved.
00:10:44So it really hurts me
00:10:45when you imply that I want to bump you out.
00:10:55What does someone think about this crazy scheme?
00:10:58Well, you would have known that
00:10:59if you actually went to the meeting that you refused to go to.
00:11:05That it's to marry a total stranger?
00:11:08A very wealthy stranger, really.
00:11:11Let's see it as something like speed matchmaking.
00:11:15It happens everywhere.
00:11:17They do it on TV reality shows, social media, dating apps.
00:11:21No one's forcing you to do anything that you don't want to do,
00:11:24but let's face it,
00:11:25you won't lose anything by trying, at least.
00:11:28What happens if I don't like the guy
00:11:29and I don't want to go through the marriage?
00:11:31Well, then the Blackthorn sons will just have to sort it out themselves
00:11:34and work through it.
00:11:36At that point, at least they've learned just a fraction of the humility
00:11:39that their dad wanted for them.
00:11:44Maybe I'll meet the friends and see what it's like,
00:11:47but I can't guarantee anything thirdly than that.
00:11:55Oh, I see a bit of some say.
00:11:58It could go.
00:12:10John Blackthorn?
00:12:11Yes.
00:12:13He must be Miss Harris.
00:12:15Evangeline is mine, or Eva, if you'd like.
00:12:18Eva does, though.
00:12:19I'm John.
00:12:23I hope it's not too forward of me to say this,
00:12:26but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:12:31You literally just took my breath away right now.
00:12:33You're magnificent.
00:12:37I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting of your lawyers.
00:12:40It just came from out of the blue.
00:12:42I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer
00:12:44would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:12:48It happened so fast,
00:12:49and I didn't really have much time to think about it.
00:12:52I'm just kidding, yes.
00:12:53So you're aware of the part of my father's will
00:12:56that relates to you?
00:12:59I had no idea.
00:13:01It's quite strange.
00:13:03It's been a bit overwhelming.
00:13:06Even for me.
00:13:08For us.
00:13:11Isn't it supposed to be the two of you?
00:13:13You're a Chinese that I'm supposed to meet
00:13:14with your brother as well.
00:13:17You make it all important, Miss Harris.
00:13:21Speak of the devil.
00:13:43Tell me something.
00:13:45How much you're really going to cost me?
00:13:49You must be Jack Blackthorn.
00:13:52I guess you guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:13:54He came earlier to butter me up
00:13:56with outrageous compliments
00:13:58and a new sweeping for the attack.
00:14:00What are you insinuating with that mistake?
00:14:03Am I interrupting something?
00:14:06Oh, don't tell me you've fallen for his boyhood routine.
00:14:10Clearly this is an exchange.
00:14:12You're for her father's wealth.
00:14:13No, you don't.
00:14:15What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:14:17Don't talk to her like that.
00:14:18It's disgusting.
00:14:19Oh, come on.
00:14:21You're coming on so strong, Johnny boy.
00:14:23Don't I feel innocent now
00:14:25that she seems so beautiful?
00:14:27Is that what you think a woman is?
00:14:29That we're only valuable
00:14:30for her way you look?
00:14:33No wonder your father loved you by anything as well.
00:14:36You're not only classist,
00:14:37but you're sexist as well.
00:14:38Watch your fuck enough.
00:14:39You don't know anything about her.
00:14:41Or me.
00:14:43You.
00:14:44Don't you even need considering this professor
00:14:46there's a lot about you.
00:14:48You fucking bitch.
00:14:49How much does this cost?
00:14:51You just mop up your toxic city, bitch boy.
00:14:53You both go to hell with your upper.
00:15:06Evangeline, wait!
00:15:08Just hold on a second.
00:15:12Nice one, Jack.
00:15:13Nice one.
00:15:14She's the spitfire of that one.
00:15:17What about those curves?
00:15:18You never know she'll be so hot.
00:15:20What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:15:22You made her change her mind.
00:15:24How hard is it to be polite, goddammit?
00:15:26What, my fault, Miss Firecrack can't take it, Jack.
00:15:29Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:15:31Are you sure about that?
00:15:33I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:15:37Don't worry, John boy.
00:15:38I know women, and I saw the fire in her today,
00:15:40and she's burning for me.
00:15:43I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:15:45Nah.
00:15:46One way or another,
00:15:48I'll be holding that spark in my hand.
00:15:51Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:15:53You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:15:56You call her talking down,
00:15:57I call her flirting.
00:15:58Besides,
00:15:59we could see you all smitten in less than 20 minutes.
00:16:04I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:16:06There's no denying it.
00:16:09We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt,
00:16:11and I'm pretty sure I could make her heart thump
00:16:14a little bit more.
00:16:16Are you sure about that?
00:16:23I guess we'll find out.
00:16:46I guess we'll find out.
00:16:54I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline.
00:16:57Open the door.
00:17:00I'm coming.
00:17:06Ignoring your mother.
00:17:07That's such childish behavior.
00:17:11I'm not doing well with you.
00:17:14Carves, really.
00:17:15You need to watch your figure,
00:17:16but anyway,
00:17:17we'll talk about that later.
00:17:18I'm here for a different reason.
00:17:20Not very well.
00:17:22Well, must I spell it out for you?
00:17:24I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Black Thorns.
00:17:27I told you what happened.
00:17:29Please don't tell me you came all this way
00:17:31just to talk about it again.
00:17:32that I teach you nothing about perseverance.
00:17:35Here you have a chance
00:17:36to change your life
00:17:38and even find love along the way.
00:17:39And you want to throw it away
00:17:41just because of one small little comment.
00:17:44See, I think so, what do you mean?
00:17:46Eva,
00:17:46I'm not asking you to reach out
00:17:48or even apologize to them.
00:17:50I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:17:53I made a promise to Mr. Blackthorn
00:17:54and I want to keep that.
00:17:56You speak like it's an obligation,
00:17:58but I know you didn't find anything.
00:17:59No.
00:18:00Okay.
00:18:29You've got to be kidding me.
00:18:31John Blackthorn.
00:18:33What are you doing here?
00:18:35Are you stalking me?
00:18:37How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:18:39I'm sorry.
00:18:40I didn't mean to start with you.
00:18:42Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:18:44You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:18:46My bad.
00:18:48I just wanted to talk to you
00:18:49and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:18:52Oh, yeah.
00:18:54Sorry about what?
00:18:56For being a two-faced Mr. Nice Guy?
00:18:59Or for being dumb
00:19:00when your brother insulted me?
00:19:02Eva, I...
00:19:03That's Evangeline to you.
00:19:05Evangeline to you.
00:19:07Evangeline.
00:19:08I swear to you,
00:19:10I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:19:13I meant every word I said
00:19:15about how beautiful you are.
00:19:17I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:19:20My brother can be...
00:19:22difficult sometimes.
00:19:25I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:19:29I'm not down in bed at this time.
00:19:32I hope you know that I was...
00:19:34Look out!
00:19:44That was close.
00:19:46I really thought he was about to knock me over.
00:19:47If you hadn't grabbed me,
00:19:48I'd be lying on the roof by now.
00:19:49You sure you're okay?
00:19:51You're not hurt anywhere?
00:19:52It's fine.
00:19:53You just missed me.
00:19:54You saved me.
00:19:55You're my hero.
00:19:57No, no.
00:19:58It's nothing like that.
00:20:00I just happened to be looking at the road
00:20:02at the right time.
00:20:04You know,
00:20:06I've been trying to get in contact with you
00:20:07for the past few days.
00:20:10You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:20:13How did you get my number?
00:20:15Well, I...
00:20:16When you weren't answering
00:20:18and I needed to get a hold of you,
00:20:19I called Mr. Frank,
00:20:21who then called...
00:20:22My mother.
00:20:23She loves to meddle.
00:20:25Can I give you a ride home?
00:20:28Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:20:54Again, I'm sorry about what happened
00:20:57and how something that started so nicely
00:21:00ended up so messy.
00:21:02And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:21:06It's okay.
00:21:07I'm over it now.
00:21:09And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:21:11Yeah, but...
00:21:12I could have made sure you weren't...
00:21:16Sorry.
00:21:18No, it's okay.
00:21:26This is me, so...
00:21:30Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:21:32Yeah, that'd be great.
00:21:33Yeah.
00:21:54It's work.
00:21:55I need to take this.
00:21:58Thanks, once you're ready.
00:22:06I will never forget
00:22:08how scared you were
00:22:09when you thought a dead frog
00:22:10would come back to life and mourn you.
00:22:13I swear it looked me straight in the eye
00:22:15before it took its last breath.
00:22:16Probably memorizing my face
00:22:18so it could have its afterlife vengeance attack.
00:22:20Wasn't it for the school project?
00:22:22You wish...
00:22:23Oh, my God, you were so scared.
00:22:24It's funny now, but...
00:22:26Back then, it was...
00:22:27You know what?
00:22:28Your mum was in stitches about the whole thing.
00:22:32No, she wasn't.
00:22:33She believed me.
00:22:34Aw, well, come on.
00:22:35At least she just made you not feel terrible.
00:22:39That's probably true.
00:22:40But in my ten-year-old brain,
00:22:42mum believed in the ghosts of Indictive Bross.
00:22:46Yeah.
00:22:48She was something else.
00:22:50I knew she was here.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:54Me too.
00:22:56And Dad too, of course.
00:23:00I always look at this photo of the four of us, together.
00:23:07We used to have dinner as a weekly tradition.
00:23:10Why don't we do that anymore?
00:23:13I don't know.
00:23:26It's...
00:23:27Well, why don't we change that?
00:23:33Well, that's my appetite.
00:23:35I'll leave you to it, Johnny Boy.
00:23:53Ah, Johnny Boy.
00:23:55Welcome.
00:23:56Take a seat.
00:23:58Look, I've got the chef to make your favourite meal.
00:24:00Wow.
00:24:02That all looks so good.
00:24:04And you're in a very good mood tonight.
00:24:07Mm-hmm.
00:24:07If I thought after the way you stormed out last night,
00:24:09I'd have to be worried about you.
00:24:11Don't worry about that.
00:24:12I've got that under control as usual.
00:24:14Well, maybe better now.
00:24:16Well, cheese to the night.
00:24:18Cheers.
00:24:21I hope you've worked out a big appetite.
00:24:23It's gonna become a three-course meal.
00:24:25I'm as hungry as I've ever been.
00:24:26Mm.
00:24:27It all looks delicious.
00:24:30So,
00:24:32I noticed Miss Harris called you this night.
00:24:35I didn't realise you guys were
00:24:36becoming so close.
00:24:37So surprised.
00:24:39It's nothing serious.
00:24:41I reached out to apologise to her
00:24:43and we've been friendly ever since.
00:24:46So you're making progress, right?
00:24:49Sneaking snow leaves with her heart.
00:24:51One phone call at a time.
00:24:54What's next?
00:24:56Six on the beach.
00:24:59Jack.
00:25:00Please.
00:25:01Don't start that now.
00:25:03Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:25:06Yeah.
00:25:07Oh.
00:25:09Oh.
00:25:12What is it?
00:25:15Guess who's gonna have Eva work under him?
00:25:43Yes, I do.
00:25:44Have a seat.
00:25:46I don't want to stay.
00:25:47What are you doing with me?
00:25:49Well, I bought the hotel of the old owners.
00:25:51It's simple as that.
00:25:53Have you shopped to see me since the first time we met?
00:25:55Have you spoken about me at least?
00:25:57Well, I know you and my brother have been speaking.
00:25:59You know, what do you think?
00:26:00What do you think?
00:26:00I'm just gonna vanish into thin air?
00:26:03No, I didn't ask about you.
00:26:05You were another prick that day.
00:26:08What's your turn, young lady?
00:26:10You don't want to be getting fired speaking to the boss now, would you?
00:26:14Of course not.
00:26:16You don't have to worry.
00:26:17Someone's gonna ask you to blow me or anything.
00:26:19Well, not yet.
00:26:21I think HR would hate dear about that.
00:26:24I don't give a shit about HR.
00:26:26I own HR, which means I own you.
00:26:29Well, that would be all me, Harris.
00:26:31You can never get back to work.
00:26:33But my brother doesn't need to know about this.
00:27:02Just the man I was looking for.
00:27:04When is it this time?
00:27:06Take a look at this.
00:27:08Blackthorn Corporation isn't doing as badly as we feared.
00:27:11It's not as good as when Dad was here, but still alive and kicking.
00:27:18I've got some news.
00:27:20But I'm not sure if you're gonna like it.
00:27:22I think it can wait.
00:27:23Can we take a look at this first?
00:27:25You can tell me after.
00:27:27No, it can't wait.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:31You have my attention.
00:27:33What is it?
00:27:34I'm afraid I have to relinquish some of my responsibilities at Blackthorn Corp.
00:27:38What?
00:27:39Why?
00:27:40I bought a hotel.
00:27:41You bought a hotel?
00:27:42The Belgie Hotel.
00:27:44I've just signed the papers.
00:27:45Why the fuck would you do that?
00:27:47You're barely even here.
00:27:49So, now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:27:51It's money from my own fund.
00:27:53You don't have to worry.
00:27:54I just thought I'd let you know because I won't be around much longer.
00:27:57All two things settle down.
00:28:00It's a little arrangement.
00:28:02I'd best be off.
00:28:12It's quite a surprise.
00:28:14I mean, it's a good surprise.
00:28:16Yes, come in.
00:28:23So, this is your place.
00:28:26Yeah.
00:28:28Welcome to how the other house is.
00:28:31I didn't mean it.
00:28:34Isn't that what your father wanted to be?
00:28:36Do you remember where the love was?
00:28:39I'm just messing with you.
00:28:42I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:28:44These are for you.
00:28:48What's that for me?
00:28:50My favorite thing?
00:28:52How did you know?
00:28:54I made a good guess.
00:28:56I made a good guess.
00:29:07Somehow, I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:29:11Long time in the truth.
00:29:14Okay, fine.
00:29:16You told me you really liked chrysanthemums since you were little.
00:29:20And your grandpa used to be a random guess.
00:29:24I'm glad you love them.
00:29:26I almost got you wild orchids.
00:29:28I mean, I do like those, too.
00:29:31I would have cooked dinner.
00:29:33But I do love chocolate chip ice cream.
00:29:39I'm glad you's mine.
00:29:42But I'm glad you didn't have agment.
00:29:44But I do love chocolate chip.
00:30:03And if I'm soะธัั, I want you to talk a little bit.
