00:00I brought you all here today for one reason only.
00:05Foreclose the mansion my son Edward is living in.
00:08Freeze every single one of his personal and business bank accounts.
00:12Terminate all investments into his company immediately.
00:17Madam Vance, if you go through with this, your son won't just face bankruptcy.
00:22His entire family will be thrown onto the streets.
00:26Completely homeless.
00:28Are you absolutely certain?
00:30I want them homeless.
00:32Yes, madam.
00:36On the exact day my granddaughter returned from her luxury studies abroad, I chose to personally destroy their world.
00:45People might call me a wicked, heartless grandmother.
00:48But nobody knows the 30 years of slaving away.
00:53Pouring my blood and sweat into that family was bought with a single word.
00:59Idiot.
01:01I'm done with that family.
01:05Soup's ready?
01:14Chloe, honey, why aren't you eating anything?
01:20Here, try the BBQ ribs.
01:23You used to love these when you were little.
01:26You'd get sauce all over your face.
01:30Ugh, grandma.
01:31In Paris, I only eat Wagyu steaks and fresh arugula salads.
01:37This stuff is dripping in grease and loaded with calories.
01:41Who even eats like this anymore?
01:43Well, at least have some soup then.
01:48I simmered it all morning.
01:50Homemade noodles, fresh vegetables, the whole nine yards.
01:53It's good for you.
01:55Oh my god, grandma.
01:57Can you just eat your own food and leave me alone?
01:59I said I don't want any.
02:03Chloe, that's no way to talk to your grandmother.
02:07Mom, don't take it personally.
02:09Chloe just got back from Paris and she's really jet-lagged.
02:12She's just tired and cranky.
02:15It's fine.
02:17I'll just have some myself.
02:28Chérie, tu dois faire avec.
02:29Ta grand-mère n'est qu'une bonne ignorance.
02:31Ça ne sert à rien de ne pas rien.
02:33Maman, je n'en peux plus.
02:34Comment cette vieille femme peut-elle être aussi stupide?
02:42Chute, arrête.
02:43Ton père est juste là .
02:44Et alors?
02:45Je lui ai dit de ne pas me toucher,
02:46mais elle agge comme un animal qui ne comprend pas le langage humain.
02:48Look at those two, mom.
02:50They're so close already,
02:51chattering away in French like best friends.
03:01Dis-moi,
03:03qui as-tu traité d'imbécele exactement?
03:10Y-you...
03:12H-how do you speak French?
03:13I asked you a question.
03:16Who exactly were you calling an idiot?
03:20Mom?
03:22What are you even talking about?
03:23We didn't say anything.
03:25Chloe was just...
03:26She was just practicing her French vocabulary.
03:29Practicing vocabulary?
03:31Embasal?
03:33Idiot?
03:33Is that the kind of vocabulary you learned in Paris?
03:38I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on your tuition?
03:44Grandma, I...
03:45I didn't mean...
03:47Mom, have you had enough yet?
03:48Chloe just got back.
03:50Can't we just have a normal family dinner?
03:52Do you absolutely have to pick a fight over nothing?
03:56Edward,
03:57I was just called an ignorant idiot by my own granddaughter,
04:01and you, my own son,
04:03accused me of picking a fight?
04:06Is that what I am to you?
04:07Just a crazy, dramatic old woman?
04:11Aren't you?
04:12You probably picked up a few foreign words from the TV,
04:15and now you're flaunting them to make a scene.
04:18Do you have any idea how embarrassing you're being right now?
04:21You're ruining my reputation.
04:23Enough!
04:24Elena, don't push your luck.
04:25You're nothing but a glorified maid
04:27who cooks and cleans every single day.
04:30How dare you talk to us about dignity?
04:32If it weren't for Edward's pity,
04:34do you honestly think you'd be allowed
04:35to live in this mansion for a single day?
04:38Miranda isn't wrong.
04:40You're uncultured and uneducated.
04:42All you're good for is domestic work.
04:45Don't forget who has been financially
04:47supporting you all these years.
04:49Who feeds you?
04:50A glorified maid.
04:5230 years.
04:54I slaved away for you ungrateful monsters
04:57for 30 whole years.
04:59I thought humans had hearts.
05:02But all I got in return was maid and idiot.
05:07Since you hate my cooking so damn much,
05:10then nobody eats.
05:20Mom, have you completely lost your mind?
05:24Yes, I lost my mind.
05:25Only a lunatic would sliv away for you ungrateful monsters
05:29for 30 whole years.
05:31Starting right now, I am done being your maid.
05:41What kind of dramatic scene are you throwing now?
05:46Edward, let her walk.
05:48Let's see how far she gets.
05:50A penniless, useless old woman like her
05:54can't even afford a single meal without this family.
05:57Keep throwing your little tantrum, Elena.
06:00In less than three days,
06:01you'll come crawling back on your knees,
06:04begging us to take you in.
06:09Mark my words.
06:11I am never setting foot in this house again.
06:36I am never setting foot in this house again.
06:51Where to, ma'am?
06:53Take me to the financial district.
06:56The Ritz-Karten.
06:58Ma'am, that's the most luxurious five-star hotel
07:00in the entire city.
07:01It's incredibly expensive.
07:02Are you sure?
07:03I'm sure.
07:04Drive.
07:10She hung up on me again!
07:12How old is she?
07:14She's growing a tantrum like a toddler!
07:16Without my money, she won't survive a single day!
07:19How dare she turn her back on us!
07:28Relax, Edward.
07:29She doesn't even have 50 bucks in her pocket.
07:31Once she runs out of money and gets hungry,
07:34she'll crawl back to bow her head and apologize.
07:38Mom, what's this investment gala?
07:40The chairman of the Vance Foundation
07:41is your father's ultimate benefactor.
07:43Every single major milestone,
07:45his promotions, his initial venture capital,
07:47it all came from her hands.
07:48But she's remained a complete ghost
07:50to the public for 30 years.
07:51Rumor has it she's finally appearing tomorrow.
07:53This gala is life or death for your father's career.
07:56Exactly, Chloe.
07:57Go put on your finest designer dress tomorrow.
08:00You're coming with us to see how high society operates.
08:04Don't end up like your grandmother,
08:06completely uncultured and unpresentable.
08:09Got it, Dad.
08:12Here we are, ma'am.
08:13That'll be 20 bucks.
08:20Keep the change.
08:33Good afternoon, ma'am.
08:35Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton.
08:36How may we assist you today?
08:38I'd like to book an executive suite, please.
08:41An executive suite?
08:42Ma'am, are you entirely certain?
08:44The base rate for our suite starts at $5,000 a night,
08:47excluding tax?
08:48I am well aware of the price.
09:05Madam Vance, forgive my ignorance.
09:08You are a Supreme Diamond VIP member.
09:10Your exclusive private butler has already been notified.
09:13Allow me to personally escort you to your estate.
09:25Put your makeup on, get your nails done,
09:28curl your hair, run the extra mile,
09:30keep it slim so they like you.
09:34Do they like you?
09:40Cause I like you.
09:50Welcome back, Madam Vance.
09:53Madam Vance, I am Leon,
09:56your dedicated private butler.
09:58It is the greatest honor of my career
10:00to serve you once again.
10:02Thank you, Leon.
10:04I need you to arrange a few things for me immediately.
10:08First, I'd like a proper lunch.
10:10Second, call the absolute best attorney in the city.
10:14Someone who specializes in massive asset protection
10:17and high-stakes real estate disputes.
10:21Consider it done, Madam.
10:28Madam Vance,
10:29the legal team has arrived.
10:31Good afternoon, Madam Vance.
10:33I am Arthur Sterling,
10:34senior partner at Sterling & Associates Law.
10:37Thank you for coming, Arthur.
10:38I need you to untangle and secure
10:40some of personal holdings.
10:45These assets were left to me entirely by my late husband.
10:49For the last 30 years,
10:50I was completely consumed by my fam,
10:52so I never bothered to assume direct control.
10:55I want to know exactly what I am looking at today.
10:58Madam, this is beyond stuggling.
11:01According to these authenticated deeds,
11:03your personal net worth is astronomical.
11:05It includes the entire multi-billion dollar Vances Foundation,
11:09dozens of offshore accounts,
11:10and a historic, hyper-exclusive private estate
11:14right in the heart of Manhattan.
11:26Madam Vance,
11:28according to your late husband's restructuring of the Vance Family Trust,
11:32you are now the sole executor of the entire foundation
11:36and ultimate beneficiary.
11:38From this moment on,
11:41you hold supreme command.
11:46I am merely a university professor, Raymond.
11:51I have no desire to run a multi-billion dollar N-Empire.
11:57For now, you will manage the daily operations as vice chairman.
12:04If possible,
12:06use the foundation's name to grant an anonymous line of credit
12:09to my son, Edward.
12:12He is fiercely independent
12:14and has a fragile ego.
12:17Do not let him know
12:19that I am the one pulling the strings.
12:22For 30 years, I was completely wrong.
12:26People treat your kindness as a birthright.
12:30The more you step back,
12:32the more they push you.
12:34Dignity is taken back with power,
12:36not given.
12:39Mr. Sterling,
12:40first order,
12:41reclaim all real estate under my name,
12:44including the penthouse where Edward's family lives.
12:47Reclaim it, Madam Vance?
12:49You mean immediate eviction?
12:51I want them served an official eviction notice.
12:54Out by tomorrow night.
12:55Madam Vance,
12:56they are your family.
12:57A 24-hour eviction will leave them with nothing.
12:59Are you sure?
13:00Counselor, you only need to answer one thing.
13:02Do I have the absolute legal right?
13:05You have unassailable absolute rights, Madam.
13:07You are the sole title holder.
13:09Legally, you can evict them at any time.
13:10Then do it.
13:12Now.
13:13Second,
13:13freeze all bank accounts and credit cards assigned to my son.
13:16Cut them off completely.
13:17Not another dime.
13:18Finally,
13:19notify Raymond.
13:21Tomorrow's investment gala,
13:22the chairwoman will attend in person.
13:28Dad,
13:28Mom,
13:29I'm starving.
13:30Is there anything to eat in this house?
13:33Eat,
13:33eat,
13:34eat.
13:34That's all you ever do.
13:35Your grandmother ran away because you insulted her,
13:38so nobody is here to cook for you.
13:40All right,
13:40both of you shut up.
13:42Babe,
13:43go clean up the leftovers from lunch.
13:45I'll take us out for a nice dinner in a bit.
13:47Why the hell should I clean it?
13:49Your mother usually handles all this garbage.
13:52Honestly,
13:53grandma is being so dramatic.
13:55I literally just called her a name.
13:57Is that really worth running away from a luxury mansion over?
14:02She thinks because she cooks and cleans,
14:05we can't survive without her.
14:07She's trying to hold us hostage.
14:10Too bad for her.
14:12I haven't even given her this month's allowance yet.
14:17Once she burns through whatever pocket change she has and gets hungry,
14:23she'll come crawling back on her knees begging for my forgiveness.
14:33So,
14:34this is what it feels like to not wake up at five in the morning to slave over a stove.
14:39Thirty years.
14:40I finally slept in peace.
14:50Good morning,
14:51Madam Vance.
14:52Your world-class breakfast has been prepared to your exact specifications.
15:06Madam Vance,
15:07the Global Investment Gala hosted by the Vance Foundation,
15:10has already commenced downstairs in the Grand Ballroom.
15:14Furthermore,
15:15we are currently finalizing the total asset freem on all of Edward's bank accounts and Centurion cards.
15:20And this is the official 24-hour eviction notice you requested yesterday,
15:25legally demanding your son and his family to vacate your property today.
15:28My son is currently downstairs at that gala, desperately trying to pitch his company, isn't he?
15:33Go downstairs right now.
15:36Go downstairs right now.
15:36Hand this eviction nose directly to his face in front of everyone.
15:41Consider it done, madam.
15:43Also,
15:44our background checks revealed an interesting detail.
15:46Your granddaughter Chloe is currently enrolled at the University of Framework,
15:49majoring in aristocratic editorial.
15:50The prestigious International Exchange Scholarship happens to be fully funded by your Vance Foundation.
15:55She is their top recipient.
15:58Ha!
15:59So you're telling me,
16:00my own granddaughter has been burning through millions of my dollars abroad
16:04to learn so-called high society manners,
16:06only to return home and use those exact manners to call me an uneducated animal?
16:11I am afraid that is exactly the case, ma'am.
16:21In the name of the Vance Foundation,
16:24terminate her scholarship immediately.
16:27Revoke her enrollment,
16:29force her expulse from the university,
16:31and blacklist her from higher education.
16:34Go.
16:35Yes, madam.
16:40Edward,
16:41I heard your daughter just got back from her luxury studies in Europe.
16:44It truly shows.
16:45Of course.
16:46My Chloe spent years in Europe mastering aristocratic etiquette.
16:50The chairman of the Vance Foundation is your ultimate angel investor, isn't she?
16:53You got it!
16:54The only reason the chairman has continuously backed me
16:56is because she recognizes my personal brilliance.
16:59My objective today is to lock in a permanent,
17:02lifetime partnership with the Vance Foundation.
17:14Excuse me.
17:15Are you Mr. Edward Vance?
17:18I am.
17:18Who are you?
17:19I am Arthur Sterling,
17:20senior partner at Sterling Associates Law.
17:23I have been retained by Madam Elena Vance
17:25to serve you with an official legal notice.
17:31My mother hired you?
17:38Immediate foreclosure and eviction notice?
17:40Wait, what?
17:41That's our house!
17:42What the hell is Grandma doing?
17:44Has she completely lost her?
17:46You must have made a mistake.
17:47That penthouse belongs to me.
17:49Where does she get the damn right to evict us?
17:51She is the sole, absolute legal owner of that entire property.
17:55You are merely tenants at will.
17:56You are legally ordered to vacate the premises before midnight tonight.
18:07Your mother has lost her mind.
18:10Just because we had a few words with her,
18:12she dares to fight us for the house?
18:15Where is Mom now?
18:17Tell her to come out here!
18:18Mr. Edward,
18:21I have no obligation to disclose my client's whereabouts.
18:25Good day.
18:35What is Mom thinking?
18:38All these years,
18:40I've provided her with food and shelter.
18:44And now she has a lawyer!
18:47She deliberately showed up
18:50at my investor meeting
18:52to fight me for the property!
18:56Enough.
18:58Keep your voice down.
19:00So many people are watching.
19:11Leon,
19:13the meeting has started?
19:15Yes, ma'am.
19:17Prepare a complete outfit for me,
19:20from head to toe.
19:23Certainly, ma'am.
19:24Any preferences?
19:26Nothing too flashy,
19:28but the best.
19:36Edward,
19:37soon I'll show you
19:40who I really am.
19:51Good afternoon, Mrs. Vance.
19:54Take me to the investor meeting.
19:57Mr. Vance,
19:59what's going on?
19:59I just had a few words with her.
20:02And she's threatening to leave home!
20:07Calm down.
20:08We'll settle accounts with her later.
20:11The president of the Vance Foundation
20:13has arrived.
20:16I don't have to do walks in,
20:17and she was around
20:18I don't have to wait for her.
20:18I don't have to wait for her.
20:19You're right.
20:19The president of the Vance Foundation
20:20has been out
20:20to the zoo.
20:20We'll let them out.
20:20and draw she with me
20:20into the description of Quandt
20:20and make the talent
20:21and looks exactly
20:21and he'll open
20:21boots on.
20:22the first one
