FunTranscript
00:00:02I'm the top mercenary in North America.
00:00:05I finish the job and come home.
00:00:08And instead of my daughter Isabella smiling at the door, I find out she's in the ICU.
00:00:13Shot through the chest at her school's archery club.
00:00:21So boring. Bullseye every single time.
00:00:28Chloe, what are you doing?
00:00:30Now this is fun. Not like I'll hit her heart.
00:00:34Worst case, I just throw some cash at it.
00:00:42Shit.
00:00:52Whoever did this to my daughter is going to pay.
00:01:04Doctor, how is she?
00:01:06The arrow entered through her back, pierced the chest cavity, two millimeters from her heart.
00:01:11We stabilized her, but she lost too much blood.
00:01:14She's not out of the woods yet.
00:01:16Who did it?
00:01:17The school says it was an accident at the archery club.
00:01:20You'd have to ask.
00:01:22Ma'am.
00:01:22Ma'am, ma'am, wait!
00:01:26I know you're upset, but some things are better handled sooner than later.
00:01:30Let me get straight to the point.
00:01:37One hundred grand.
00:01:39Sign this release, and we put this whole unfortunate incident behind us.
00:01:45Your daughter put an arrow through my daughter's chest, and you think you can just write a check?
00:01:50I'm not thrilled about it either, but Chloe feels terrible.
00:01:53She insisted I come down here.
00:01:55Look, kids mess around. Accidents happen.
00:01:58Your daughter's still alive, isn't she?
00:02:00I know where you come from.
00:02:01Look at you, scraping by, taking whatever odd jobs you can find.
00:02:05This money will last you a long time.
00:02:07Just take it.
00:02:09Not enough?
00:02:11You know what this is?
00:02:13Invitation Omili Black Card.
00:02:15Name your price.
00:02:16My husband will cover it.
00:02:18But I guess someone from the gutter wouldn't recognize it, would you?
00:02:22That's the black card I gave my husband to run for Milliant.
00:02:25What the hell is she doing with it?
00:02:27You just said...
00:02:29Your husband?
00:02:32My husband is none of your business.
00:02:34And let me be perfectly clear.
00:02:35I've already taken care of the media.
00:02:37Not a single word of this will get out.
00:02:38So do yourself a favor.
00:02:39Take the money, sign the paper, and we all walk away clean.
00:02:42Who the hell do you think you are?
00:02:44You actually believe you can just move heaven and earth?
00:02:51Madam, I don't think I can move heaven and earth.
00:02:53I am heaven and earth.
00:02:54You think this is a negotiation?
00:02:56My husband already has it all planned out.
00:02:57Once we make it official, my daughter Chloe will be the undisputed heir
00:03:01to Vermilient, the biggest syndicate in North America.
00:03:03And you?
00:03:04Unless you want to end up at the bottom of the ocean,
00:03:06you'll sign right now!
00:03:08I gave him that card so he could.
00:03:12You run the organization.
00:03:14Take the card.
00:03:15Honey, I...
00:03:16Vermilion needs a steady hand.
00:03:17I can't be out in the field and watch everything back home.
00:03:20You're my husband.
00:03:22I trust you.
00:03:23That's what my trust bought me.
00:03:25So you get off on throwing money at people.
00:03:28Think cash makes everything go away, huh?
00:03:33What are you mumbling about?
00:03:35Quit playing games.
00:03:42Bring me a million dollars.
00:03:44Cash.
00:03:45Now.
00:03:47Did I just hear that right?
00:03:48A million dollars?
00:03:50You're joking.
00:03:51Ugh.
00:03:51You heard her, Mom.
00:03:52The slum rat just said she's having a million bucks delivered.
00:03:55Please.
00:03:55Where would you get that kind of money?
00:03:57If you had it, your kid wouldn't be dying in the ICU.
00:04:00Watch your mouth.
00:04:02Right now, you should apologize to me and my daughter.
00:04:05Enough!
00:04:06Make her sign it.
00:04:07I'm done wasting my time on this lunaturk.
00:04:14What are you waiting for?
00:04:15Throw her out!
00:04:16You wanted me to sign, didn't you?
00:04:18What are you doing?
00:04:25Marcus?
00:04:26Where the hell are you going at this hour?
00:04:28Boss Victoria needs cash.
00:04:29I'm taking a tour.
00:04:31Victoria's...
00:04:32back?
00:04:38Honey, you need to get down here.
00:04:40Someone's threatening me and our daughter.
00:04:44What?
00:04:45Nobody touches my family.
00:04:46I'm on my way.
00:04:49Three years I've bled for this organization.
00:04:51Everyone calls me boss now,
00:04:53but that woman snaps her fingers
00:04:54and Marcus comes running like a damn dog.
00:04:56I can't touch Victoria?
00:04:57Fine.
00:04:57Somebody else pays the price.
00:05:01You hear that?
00:05:02That's Vermillion.
00:05:03My husband sent them.
00:05:04He adores Chloe.
00:05:05When he finds out you threatened her,
00:05:07he'll dump your body in the bay!
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:11My daddy loves me.
00:05:12You're so dead.
00:05:14Is that right?
00:05:15Let's see who ends up dead.
00:05:30You think money fixes everything?
00:05:33I'm buying your life
00:05:34and your daughters
00:05:36for one million dollars.
00:05:42It's fake.
00:05:43Has to be.
00:05:44Where would you get a million dollars?
00:05:45Printed it yourself?
00:05:47Trying to scare me with counterfeit bills?
00:05:48I know money.
00:05:49You think I'm stupid?
00:05:50You really think I'd fall for this?
00:05:52Fake.
00:05:58This...
00:05:58This is real?
00:06:00No, I get it!
00:06:01You hired them!
00:06:02Actors!
00:06:02That's it!
00:06:03A million bucks?
00:06:05Some thugs?
00:06:05You rented a few guys
00:06:06and some fake cash to scare me?
00:06:08You really thought I'd buy that?
00:06:09How much did she pay you?
00:06:09I'll double it!
00:06:10Triple!
00:06:11You throw her out for me,
00:06:11I'll pay you ten times
00:06:12whatever she's giving you!
00:06:13Doesn't matter if it's real or not.
00:06:14Not anymore.
00:06:16What's supposed to mean?
00:06:18Dead people don't spend money.
00:06:28You can't do this.
00:06:29Do you know who my husband is?
00:06:30Simon Sterling.
00:06:31Second in command of Vermillion.
00:06:32He runs the whole operation.
00:06:33You lay one finger on me,
00:06:35he'll end you.
00:06:35You're nobody.
00:06:36Street trash.
00:06:37Do you have any idea
00:06:38how many men answer to Vermillion?
00:06:39My husband can tear this whole city apart
00:06:40with one phone call!
00:06:41Boss, the Simon she's talking about...
00:06:43Let me make this crystal clear.
00:06:44My Chloe's about to become
00:06:45the heir to Vermillion.
00:06:45My husband promised.
00:06:46Once he makes it official,
00:06:47the entire syndicate belongs to my daughter.
00:06:48And your daughter?
00:06:49She's nobody.
00:06:49A courier's kid.
00:06:50If she dies, she dies.
00:06:50Worth a payout, that's it.
00:06:51Simon, you son of a bitch.
00:06:52Your real daughter is fighting
00:06:53for her life in the ICU
00:06:54and you can't even make a phone call?
00:06:55But you'll name your mistress Brett
00:06:56the heir to my organization?
00:06:57Have you forgotten who I am?
00:06:58Who Isabella is?
00:06:59Hey, you see this woman?
00:07:00She's losing it.
00:07:01Think about it.
00:07:02You help me clean this up,
00:07:02my husband will make it worth your while.
00:07:03Maybe even get you a seat
00:07:04at the Vermillion table.
00:07:05What's so funny?
00:07:06I'm going to inherit Vermillion?
00:07:08You stick with me,
00:07:09you get money, power, respect, everything.
00:07:11Why throw it away for some crazy lady?
00:07:13You're both so painfully stupid.
00:07:15You.
00:07:15Fine.
00:07:16Name your price.
00:07:16What will it take?
00:07:17Not interested.
00:07:18I only take orders from my boss.
00:07:19What boss?
00:07:20Her?
00:07:20She's nobody.
00:07:21My husband is the one who runs Vermillion.
00:07:23She's been lying to you all.
00:07:24Wrong.
00:07:24She's the one who really runs Vermillion.
00:07:30You want to know
00:07:31who put your precious's second
00:07:32in command and power?
00:07:34She did.
00:07:35My boss.
00:07:36She gave him that seat
00:07:38and she can take it away.
00:07:40Her?
00:07:41Are you people insane?
00:07:43Calling her boss?
00:07:44What did she do?
00:07:45Drug you?
00:07:45Listen, Simon runs Vermillion.
00:07:47He's the one with power.
00:07:48He manages hundreds of men
00:07:49and millions of dollars.
00:07:50You throw in with this crazy woman,
00:07:51what's your future?
00:07:52She can't even protect her own daughter
00:07:53and you think she'll protect you?
00:07:54What?
00:07:54Am I wrong?
00:07:55Her daughter is in the ICU
00:07:56and all she's done is run her mouth.
00:07:57You claim you run Vermillion?
00:07:58Based on what?
00:07:59Your word?
00:08:00Simon's been in the family for years.
00:08:01Everybody knows him.
00:08:02Who the hell are you?
00:08:03You ever set foot in a Vermillion meeting?
00:08:04You ever even seen the crest?
00:08:06Him?
00:08:06He calls you boss, so it's true?
00:08:08If I get some guy to call me queen tomorrow,
00:08:10am I the queen of England?
00:08:11Look at her.
00:08:11She can't even say a word.
00:08:12A million bucks in prop money,
00:08:13a couple of rented goons,
00:08:14and a fake gun,
00:08:15and you think you can pass
00:08:16as the head of Vermillion?
00:08:17Pathetic.
00:08:17You finished?
00:08:19What's the matter?
00:08:20Mad I figured you out?
00:08:21Good.
00:08:22Then it's my turn.
00:08:26What are you doing?
00:08:29Which hand?
00:08:32What?
00:08:33Which hand did she shoot with?
00:08:35You wouldn't dare.
00:08:37My husband's on his way.
00:08:39Vermillion's on his way.
00:08:40If you dare lay a finger on my daughter.
00:08:42Which hand?
00:08:44What are you two doing?
00:08:45Stop her!
00:08:51You useless trash!
00:08:53I paid you so much money,
00:08:54and this is how you treat me?
00:08:55I'm warning you.
00:08:56Simon will not let you go.
00:08:57Vermillion will not let you go.
00:08:58You got one thing wrong.
00:08:59What?
00:09:01Our boss doesn't need anyone's permission.
00:09:03No!
00:09:04You hurt my daughter,
00:09:05and I'll kill you!
00:09:07Move.
00:09:08No!
00:09:08My daughter is Vermillion air.
00:09:10If you hurt her,
00:09:11you're going against all of Vermillion.
00:09:13Simon won't let you go.
00:09:14Hundreds of men won't let you go.
00:09:16You're just a...
00:09:20Move.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30I'm sorry.
00:09:31I didn't mean it.
00:09:35Which hand?
00:09:36My mom said...
00:09:37My mom said I'm going to be Vermillion's heir.
00:09:39You can't touch me.
00:09:40You can't...
00:09:41Fine.
00:09:41Neither hand is needed.
00:09:43Don't worry.
00:09:44I'll make it quick.
00:09:45No, you can't!
00:09:46You can't!
00:09:47Simon!
00:09:48Simon, come quick!
00:09:49Help!
00:09:50No!
00:09:54Chloe!
00:09:55Mom's here.
00:09:56Mom's right here.
00:09:57You lunaturk!
00:09:58You ruined her!
00:09:59You ruined my daughter's hand!
00:10:01What's going to become of her life?
00:10:02Mom, hurry up!
00:10:04Coming.
00:10:11And my daughter?
00:10:13She just had to take it?
00:10:17That...
00:10:18That was an accident.
00:10:20An accident?
00:10:21So money fixes everything, right?
00:10:29Daddy, you finally came.
00:10:32What the hell is going on here?
00:10:34Simon, you finally came!
00:10:37Look at Chloe, her hand!
00:10:39That woman ruined her hand!
00:10:41You dare hurt my daughter?
00:10:43You know who I am?
00:10:44You hurt my daughter, I'll make sure you don't leave this building alive.
00:10:59How is it you?
00:11:04Just now, were you trying to kill me?
00:11:08Darling, I didn't know it was you.
00:11:11I thought...
00:11:11Thought what?
00:11:13Thought it was some fool who dared to hurt your mistress and bastard daughter?
00:11:17Simon, what are you waiting for?
00:11:19She ruined Chloe's hand!
00:11:22What are you standing there for?
00:11:24Get them to the ER!
00:11:25You want someone to die?
00:11:29Let's see what you're trying to do.
00:11:35What are you doing?
00:11:37Simon, what's this?
00:11:39Just go.
00:11:41I'll handle this here.
00:11:42You want me to leave?
00:11:44She ruined Chloe's hand and you're just letting it go?
00:11:49I'm begging you.
00:11:50Go.
00:11:51If you don't, no one gets out of here.
00:12:03Honey.
00:12:04Darling.
00:12:04Let me explain.
00:12:05That, like Zagsandra, she's just a poor woman I've been helping.
00:12:08A single mom, struggling with a kid.
00:12:09I paid for some of her tuition, rent, stuff like that.
00:12:11Then she got obsessed with me, started calling me her husband.
00:12:14Honey, you know me.
00:12:15My heart only has room for you.
00:12:17Really?
00:12:18Of course.
00:12:18I swear.
00:12:19She made all that up.
00:12:20The air, the black card, all of it.
00:12:23She just wanted to mooch off me.
00:12:24So Chloe calling you daddy, she make that up too?
00:12:27Chloe shot an arrow through Isabella's heart.
00:12:30Your mistress came with my black card, threw money at me to sign a waiver.
00:12:32You showed up and shot me without a second thought and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?
00:12:35Honey, I really didn't know it was you.
00:12:37I just reacted.
00:12:38Reacted?
00:12:39Fine, then tell me.
00:12:40What's this about the vermilion air?
00:12:42That idiot Alexandra.
00:12:43Why does she have to run her mouth?
00:12:45Air?
00:12:45Nothing like that.
00:12:46She's talking nonsense.
00:12:48How could I give the inheritance to an outsider?
00:12:51Isabella is my daughter.
00:12:52My only daughter.
00:12:53Really?
00:12:54Then have you been to see Isabella while she's in the ICU?
00:12:59You got that woman's call and rushed right over.
00:13:02But did you know Isabella is still in the ER fighting for her life?
00:13:07I, I, you don't know.
00:13:08You don't know anything!
00:13:12All you know is your mistress got bullied, your bastard daughter got hurt, but your own daughter, you didn't even
00:13:18know she was in the hospital.
00:13:21Honey, darling, I'm sorry.
00:13:23I'm so sorry.
00:13:24Give me another chance.
00:13:26Simon, do you know why I agreed to let Marcus take them away?
00:13:29Because I wanted to see just how shameless you could be.
00:13:40You think you're better than me?
00:13:43You're nothing.
00:13:45A fucking nobody.
00:13:50Get me everything on Victoria.
00:13:53I want her dead.
00:13:54Dead!
00:14:03Boss, Simon's people are making moves.
00:14:05Word is he called in everyone who handles the files.
00:14:07Let him dig.
00:14:09Boss, what if he finds...
00:14:10Finds what?
00:14:11That half the missions I took were cleaning up his messes?
00:14:14That those businesses would have been swallowed up long ago if I hadn't been backing them?
00:14:19Or that little investment project was just the seven million he lost at a casino with the organization's money?
00:14:24You've always known?
00:14:26Marcus, I'm not stupid.
00:14:27I just thought he was my husband.
00:14:30He was my daughter's father.
00:14:32I thought he had at least a little bit of a conscience.
00:14:36I was wrong.
00:14:37I'm sorry, boss.
00:14:38I didn't keep an eye on the organization.
00:14:40You're...
00:14:40Not your fault.
00:14:42I gave away the power myself.
00:14:45Three years.
00:14:46That's enough time for a tree to take root.
00:14:48So what do you plan to do?
00:14:50Time to rip it out.
00:14:51Roots and all.
00:14:55Marcus, you know how you uproot a tree?
00:14:58You don't start with the trunk.
00:14:59You start with the roots.
00:15:01One by one, until it can't stand anymore.
00:15:06This is...
00:15:07Every penny Simon embezzled from the organization over the past three years.
00:15:10The first one was three years and two months ago, the third week after he took over.
00:15:13Only 80,000 back then, labeled operating expenses.
00:15:16Then he got bolder.
00:15:17Hundreds of thousands turned into millions.
00:15:19The most recent, three million, was transferred the day before Isabella's accident.
00:15:22The day before?
00:15:23The day before Isabella's accident?
00:15:25The beneficiary of that account is Chloe Thorne, a 16-year-old girl.
00:15:31Over three years.
00:15:32How much in total?
00:15:3447 million dollars.
00:15:37That much money.
00:15:39If the fellows find out...
00:15:40So, you're gonna let them know.
00:15:43But not now.
00:15:44Then when?
00:15:46When he's tied the last rope around his own neck.
00:15:49Listen to me.
00:15:51Got it.
00:15:52What about the school situation?
00:15:54Proceed as planned.
00:15:55Get all the evidence together, but don't hand it over yet.
00:15:58Let that mother and daughter think they're safe first.
00:16:00Once they let their guard down, that's when we cut.
00:16:04Got it.
00:16:06Isabella, mommy will protect you.
00:16:13Simon, why call us here today?
00:16:16This feels awfully secretive.
00:16:19Brothers, I called everyone here because there's something I don't even know how to say.
00:16:24Syme, just say it.
00:16:25We're family here.
00:16:27Victoria is back.
00:16:30Boss Victoria is back?
00:16:32That's good news.
00:16:33She's been running missions for years.
00:16:35The boys have missed her.
00:16:37I wish it were good news.
00:16:38But she's not in her right mind this time.
00:16:41What do you mean?
00:16:44Isabella had an accident at school.
00:16:46She was shot with an arrow and she's still in the ICU.
00:16:49What?
00:16:50Isabella was hurt?
00:16:51How bad?
00:16:52Bad.
00:16:53The arrow went through her back and into her chest.
00:16:56It almost hit her heart.
00:16:58Victoria broke down.
00:16:59She's emotionally unstable.
00:17:00A mother losing it when her daughter gets hurt seems pretty normal to me.
00:17:05Normally, yes.
00:17:06But Victoria's reaction has gone way beyond normal.
00:17:10Last night at the hospital, she shot a little girl.
00:17:13What?
00:17:17What?
00:17:18She shot a little girl?
00:17:20I hate saying this, but she snapped and crippled the hand of the girl involved in Isabella's accident.
00:17:26That doesn't sound like Boss Victoria.
00:17:29She wasn't like that before.
00:17:30That's exactly what I'm saying.
00:17:32The shock broke her.
00:17:34She won't listen to anyone now.
00:17:35She's completely out of control.
00:17:38Last night when she had a gun on that girl, I tried to stop her.
00:17:42Guess what happened?
00:17:43What happened?
00:17:47She almost shot me.
00:17:49I dodged it, but she shoved me into a wall.
00:17:53That's out of line!
00:17:54Simon!
00:17:55After everything you've done for this family, that's how she treats you?
00:17:58Forget it.
00:17:59She's upset about our daughter.
00:18:01I understand.
00:18:02What worries me is something else.
00:18:04What?
00:18:05She still has the passwords to the family's financial accounts.
00:18:09I know she's not usually reckless, but in her current state,
00:18:13what if she gets impulsive and drains Vermillion's money?
00:18:16Simon, you're the one running the family.
00:18:18You need to do something.
00:18:19We can't let one one person's emotional breakdown cost hundreds of brothers their livelihood.
00:18:23I'll see what I can do.
00:18:24You stupid fools.
00:18:26Just wait, Victoria.
00:18:27We'll see who laughs last.
00:18:40Well, well.
00:18:42If it isn't the boss of Vermillion, why do you look like hell?
00:18:49Raphael.
00:18:50Relax.
00:18:50Drop the act.
00:18:51I found your daughter the best neurosurgeon in the country.
00:18:55A specialist in penetrating trauma.
00:18:58He arrives tomorrow.
00:18:59Surgery is $3 million.
00:19:01You don't have to pay me back.
00:19:02Call it charity.
00:19:07What happened to your face?
00:19:09Nothing.
00:19:09Just a scratch.
00:19:10Who did it?
00:19:12Thank you for the doctor.
00:19:13But I don't want to owe you.
00:19:15You already owe me plenty.
00:19:17Back when you insisted on marrying that useless bastard, I told you...
00:19:20If that's why you're here, you can leave.
00:19:24You know how I feel about you.
00:19:28Forget it.
00:19:29I'm not here to fight.
00:19:30I looked into Isabella's condition.
00:19:32The wound is serious, but the position is lucky.
00:19:34Two millimeters.
00:19:35The doctor I found has handled similar cases with a high success rate.
00:19:38Either way, thank you.
00:19:39Your daughter is fighting for her life.
00:19:40Where the hell is that loser Simon?
00:19:42Don't mention him to me.
00:19:43When you chose him, I knew this day would come.
00:19:45You've always had terrible taste.
00:19:47Men, friends, even the empire you chose to plant your flag in.
00:19:50If it were me, I would have walked away from Vermillion years ago.
00:19:52Did you fly all the way here just to say that?
00:19:54Don't you get it? I flew here because someone hurt you.
00:19:58You know everything?
00:19:59You think Vermillion gossip stays hidden from me?
00:20:01Your dirty laundry is already all over the underworld.
00:20:03Simon has a woman outside.
00:20:04A bastard daughter, too.
00:20:06Everyone knows, Victoria.
00:20:08Everyone except you.
00:20:11Victoria, do you want revenge?
00:20:13What are you getting at?
00:20:14Stop carrying everything alone.
00:20:16That's what you've always done.
00:20:18You take the hit and never tell anyone.
00:20:20And you?
00:20:22Why help me?
00:20:23Because I've waited more than ten years.
00:20:26I don't want the thing I waited for to be your obituary.
00:20:32I can't believe he still remembers I love white roses.
00:20:49Marcus, this account doesn't add up.
00:20:51Three days ago, two million went out under Simon's authorization.
00:20:54The purpose says investment project oversees expansion.
00:20:57Investment project?
00:20:58What project?
00:20:58Is there a contract?
00:20:59Approval paperwork?
00:21:00No.
00:21:01Just an authorization form signed by Simon.
00:21:02The notes say confidential project, details unavailable.
00:21:06Confidential project?
00:21:07Simon uses boss Victoria's money to run the family.
00:21:10And now he has secret projects with no explanation?
00:21:13Marcus, it's not just this one.
00:21:15Look here.
00:21:16Two years ago, five million went out under emergency reserve.
00:21:19But the notes say personal use.
00:21:21Personal use?
00:21:22There's more.
00:21:23Last March, three million.
00:21:24Last August, four million.
00:21:26This January, two and a half million.
00:21:27All marked personal use or investment project.
00:21:30No approvals, no contracts.
00:21:31Marcus, I found the same thing here.
00:21:33Over the past three years, at least 15 similar transactions.
00:21:37Total amount, 47 million dollars.
00:21:40Back up everything.
00:21:41Find a way to get it to boss Victoria.
00:21:42Marcus, if Simon asks.
00:21:45Who the hell is Simon?
00:21:46He's just an acting manager who forgot his place.
00:21:49Wait and see.
00:21:50Boss Victoria is about to clean house and we won't stand in her way.
00:21:59Mrs. Victoria, your daughter's condition is better than I expected.
00:22:04The arrow passed through her chest but miraculously avoided the major vessels and the heart.
00:22:09The main issues now are, first, partial left flung left to defallus.
00:22:13Second, a small aero pragmat remains near the spine and must be removed.
00:22:17Will the surgery recover?
00:22:18In my experience, 70 to 80% of patients within make a full recovery within three to six months.
00:22:24Thank you, doctor.
00:22:25When is the surgery?
00:22:26Eight tomorrow morning.
00:22:27It's estimated surgical time is four to six hours.
00:22:30Success rate?
00:22:30Above 80%.
00:22:31But ma'am, I need you to understand that every surgery carries risk.
00:22:35I understand.
00:22:37Please do your best.
00:22:39I will.
00:22:46After surgery tomorrow, when you wake up, I'll take you to your favorite mac and cheese place.
00:22:51Remember?
00:22:51That little spot downtown?
00:22:53Every time you say, mom, this is the best mac and cheese in all of Los Angeles.
00:22:57Isabella, wake up soon, baby.
00:23:00Mommy will make sure you get back everything that belongs to you.
00:23:08That bitch.
00:23:09That crazy bitch.
00:23:11She ruined your hand.
00:23:12Chloe, don't worry.
00:23:13Mommy will get justice for you.
00:23:15I swear, I'll make her pay.
00:23:16Mom, it hurts.
00:23:17It hurts so bad.
00:23:18I know, baby.
00:23:20I know.
00:23:21The doctor said the pain megs will kick in soon.
00:23:23Just hang on a little longer.
00:23:32So you finally came back.
00:23:35Look at Chloe's hand.
00:23:36The doctor said even if they reconnect it, she may never draw a bow again.
00:23:42Never lift anything heavy, barely even right.
00:23:46Her life is ruined.
00:23:48Do you understand that?
00:23:49Enough.
00:23:50I know.
00:23:51Keep your voice down.
00:23:52The whole building can hear you.
00:23:54You know, what do you know?
00:23:57You acted like a coward in that hospital.
00:24:00Enough.
00:24:01I know.
00:24:02Keep your voice down.
00:24:04You watched that bitch humiliate us and you didn't say a damn word.
00:24:08Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
00:24:16Are you saying that woman is really Vermilience?
00:24:19You think I didn't want to fight back?
00:24:21You think I don't hate her?
00:24:23Alexander, Victoria is the real power behind Vermilient.
00:24:26How do you think I've kept this seat all these years?
00:24:29Her backing.
00:24:30Without her, I'm nothing.
00:24:31The real power?
00:24:32Simon, did she brainwash you?
00:24:34Who runs Vermilient now?
00:24:36Those captains answer to you, not her.
00:24:39Think about it.
00:24:40She's been gone for years.
00:24:42You've handled everything.
00:24:45Hundreds of men know Simon.
00:24:47Who knows Victoria?
00:24:49All you have to do is...
00:24:50Do what?
00:24:52Take full control of the family's resources.
00:24:54Then Victoria is just an empty shell.
00:24:57If she wants revenge, with what?
00:24:59How is she supposed to fight us?
00:25:05I'll handle it.
00:25:07But you keep your head down for now.
00:25:09Stop causing me problems.
00:25:10I...
00:25:11I said keep your head down!
00:25:15Daddy.
00:25:18Rest and heal.
00:25:19Daddy will get justice for you.
00:25:25Victoria?
00:25:26You think you won?
00:25:28Just wait.
00:25:30Simon is mine.
00:25:32Vermilient will be mine too.
00:25:40When was the last time you slept?
00:25:46I don't remember.
00:25:51What you asked for.
00:25:53What is it?
00:25:55An anonymous file I received.
00:25:57Simon's Cayman Islands account records.
00:26:03Over the past three years, he moved $47 million into it.
00:26:07One transfer was $3 million the day before Isabella was attacked.
00:26:13The day before?
00:26:15The day before Isabella was hurt.
00:26:18In short, Syme deliberately switched Chloe's archery lane.
00:26:23He knows his daughter's personality.
00:26:26He knew she'd take interest in Isabella.
00:26:30You're saying...
00:26:32Isabella being shot wasn't an accident.
00:26:36Simon allowed it to happen.
00:26:42His plan is simple.
00:26:44Isabella gets hurt, you lose control.
00:26:49Once you lose control, he has grounds to call you unstable and unfit to hold Vermilion's money and power.
00:26:55Then he strips away your authority piece by piece.
00:26:58Once that's gone, you're a queen with no throne.
00:27:01He controls Vermilion's resources and connections, and he can do whatever he wants to you.
00:27:18I have people inside the family, but I still need your help.
00:27:22I didn't think you'd ever ask anyone for help.
00:27:26I'm not asking.
00:27:27I'm offering you an opportunity.
00:27:30What opportunity?
00:27:33Help me take back Vermiliont.
00:27:35I'll give you half.
00:27:38I don't want half your Mafia empire.
00:27:41Your territory doesn't interest me.
00:27:45Then what do you want?
00:27:51After your daughter wakes up, I want you to tell her yourself that you chose the wrong man.
00:28:10Boss, Simon called several mid-level captains into a meeting this afternoon.
00:28:14He said you're mentally unstable and wants to revoke your financial access.
00:28:19He's moving fast.
00:28:24He also said you shot a young girl at the hospital, lost control, and aren't fit to participate in family
00:28:32business anymore.
00:28:36He knows how to work a room.
00:28:40There's one more thing.
00:28:42Say it.
00:28:44Simon has been telling people that you've been using Vermilion resources while you were away.
00:28:53Even though you're not the active manager, he's definitely moving fast.
00:28:59But do you know his biggest problem?
00:29:01What?
00:29:02He's too impatient.
00:29:04If he could stay calm and wait another year, maybe he really could lock down the whole family.
00:29:10But he can't wait.
00:29:11So before I can react, he has to block every road.
00:29:15So?
00:29:17So he'll make mistakes.
00:29:19More and more of them.
00:29:21The more desperate a man gets, the easier it is to see the cracks.
00:29:28I see.
00:29:28So now we just wait for him to walk into the trap.
00:29:34How's the school situation?
00:29:37Handled.
00:29:38Evidence of bullying, medical records, Chloe's archery club training logs.
00:29:42Everything is organized and ready to submit to the school and police.
00:29:49Wait.
00:29:50Wait for what?
00:29:52For Simon to push every chip onto the table.
00:29:55For him to think he's won and has nothing left to fear.
00:29:58Then we crush every last hope he has.
00:30:01Keep all of this under control from the shadows.
00:30:03I still need to wait for my baby girl to wake up.
00:30:06You can count on me.
00:30:25The surgery was successful.
00:30:33When will she wake up?
00:30:35Best case, three to five days.
00:30:37Slower, one to two weeks.
00:30:39But given her current condition, I'm very confident.
00:30:47That's my job.
00:30:49Mr. Belmont paid three times the market rate.
00:30:52I have to earn that price.
00:31:03Raphael, thank God you were here this time.
00:31:05Bye.
00:31:17Chloe.
00:31:17Drink some milk.
00:31:19It's time for bed.
00:31:20Mom, look at this.
00:31:28Who posted this?
00:31:30I don't know.
00:31:32Someone put it on the school forum.
00:31:36Everyone's sharing it.
00:31:42What is this?
00:31:44Didn't the school say they buried it?
00:31:46Mom, who do you think posted it?
00:31:49That woman.
00:31:51She doesn't just want my hand ruined.
00:31:53She wants to destroy me.
00:31:57No.
00:31:59Simon said he handled the media.
00:32:01No one will report this.
00:32:03Mom, read the comments.
00:32:05Everyone knows I did it.
00:32:07Everyone.
00:32:15They're saying I did it on purpose.
00:32:18They're calling me a bully.
00:32:20And they're saying I'm a bastard.
00:32:23Who said that?
00:32:24Who called you a bastard?
00:32:27Everyone.
00:32:27They all know.
00:32:30Mom, didn't you say dad would acknowledge me?
00:32:33Didn't you say I'd be Vermillion's heir?
00:32:38Then why does everyone know I'm illegitimate?
00:32:41Why is my hand ruined while that bitch's daughter is still alive?
00:32:45Why does she get to live?
00:32:47Why does she get to live?
00:32:47My hand is ruined.
00:32:49My life is over.
00:32:50Why does she get to be fine?
00:32:53Baby, baby.
00:32:54Listen to me.
00:32:55Baby.
00:32:56Chloe.
00:32:57And have you?
00:32:57Chloe.
00:32:58No.
00:32:59You lied to me.
00:33:02You said dad would protect us.
00:33:04What happened?
00:33:07At the hospital, he didn't say a damn word.
00:33:10He let that woman ruin my hand.
00:33:13He doesn't even want us.
00:33:15No.
00:33:16No, that's not true.
00:33:18Your father is waiting for the right moment.
00:33:21He'll get justice for us.
00:33:22He'll make that woman pay.
00:33:31Your father is going to act soon.
00:33:35Just wait and see.
00:33:41Simon, I need to ask you something.
00:33:44What is it?
00:33:45There are rumors going around the family.
00:33:47They say Boss Victoria has a man on the side.
00:33:50And is using Vermillion resources to keep him.
00:33:53Did those rumors come from you?
00:33:56What are you implying?
00:33:58Why would I spread something like that?
00:34:00Victoria is my wife.
00:34:01How does that help me?
00:34:02It doesn't.
00:34:03Unless you're trying to secure your own position by pushing her out.
00:34:08Rumors like that would put the brothers on your side.
00:34:12Fine.
00:34:13I'll be honest.
00:34:14I don't want this either.
00:34:16But you know Victoria's condition right now.
00:34:18Since our daughter got hurt, she's changed.
00:34:20I'm afraid she'll do something that hurts the family.
00:34:23As for the rumors, I didn't start them.
00:34:25Someone dug into her past, found things, and couldn't keep their mouth shut.
00:34:29Found what?
00:34:31Come look.
00:34:37Raphael Belmont?
00:34:38Heir to Belmont Group?
00:34:39You know him?
00:34:40Of course.
00:34:41Of course.
00:34:41The Belmont family runs one of the top medical groups in the world.
00:34:44But him?
00:34:45I heard he and Boss Victoria go way back.
00:34:47Grew up together.
00:34:48That kind of history.
00:34:50More than history.
00:34:51Do you know why Victoria insisted on marrying me back then?
00:34:53Because of him.
00:34:57How?
00:34:57Raphael Belmont confessed his feelings to her and she rejected him.
00:35:00She chose me.
00:35:01But Raphael never gave up.
00:35:02They've stayed in touch all these years.
00:35:04This five million dollars came out of the family account.
00:35:07The note says mission income.
00:35:08But I checked.
00:35:09Victoria had no mission during that period.
00:35:11I don't want to believe she'd use family funds to keep an old flame,
00:35:14but the evidence is right here.
00:35:15What am I supposed to do?
00:35:16Simon, don't spread this yet.
00:35:18I'll look into it.
00:35:27Just wait, Victoria.
00:35:28I'll show you who really runs Vermillion.
00:35:33I'll show you who really runs Vermillion.
00:35:36Cold?
00:35:37Yeah.
00:35:41Here.
00:35:42Warm.
00:35:44Thanks.
00:35:45You never used to thank me.
00:35:47That was then.
00:35:49This is now.
00:35:50So I'm different to you now?
00:35:55You're funny.
00:35:56Fine, let's say that.
00:35:58Victoria.
00:35:59Yeah?
00:36:00Yeah.
00:36:01Back then, why did you choose him?
00:36:04Maybe it was some stupid young hero complex.
00:36:07He said he needed me.
00:36:09I said I needed you too.
00:36:10You didn't say, I need you.
00:36:12You said I can protect you.
00:36:15Hey, Victoria.
00:36:17You need me, right?
00:36:18I'll protect you from now on.
00:36:20Back then, I didn't want protection.
00:36:21I wanted to hear, I need you.
00:36:23So you chose someone who needed you?
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26And how did that turn out?
00:36:27You can see for yourself.
00:36:29What he needed mattered more than I did.
00:36:39Mom?
00:36:45I'm here.
00:36:46Mommy's here.
00:36:48It hurts.
00:36:50I know.
00:36:50I know, baby.
00:36:51But you're safe now.
00:36:53The surgery went well.
00:36:55You're gonna be okay.
00:36:56Mom?
00:36:57Were you crying?
00:36:59No.
00:37:01Mommy wasn't crying.
00:37:04Liar.
00:37:09Everything is normal.
00:37:10Waking up is a good sign.
00:37:11Now she just needs time to recover.
00:37:16Mom.
00:37:17Chloe shot me, didn't she?
00:37:19It wasn't an accident.
00:37:21I saw her.
00:37:23She was smiling when she aimed at me.
00:37:26Mom.
00:37:27Why would she do that to me?
00:37:32Because someone taught her she could.
00:37:33I promise you, the person who taught her and the person who did it will both pay.
00:37:38Pay how?
00:37:41What do you want?
00:37:42I want her to know money can't fix everything.
00:37:46When you do something wrong, you have to face the consequences.
00:37:49Promise.
00:37:50She and her mother will get exactly what they deserve.
00:37:59Mom, the bank just called.
00:38:01This month's mortgage wasn't paid.
00:38:04I know.
00:38:05I'm handling it.
00:38:07How?
00:38:07Didn't Dad say he'd take care of it?
00:38:09He said he'll handle it, so he'll handle it.
00:38:11Stop pushing.
00:38:13Handle it?
00:38:14He hasn't been here in three days.
00:38:16Is he avoiding us?
00:38:18Shut up!
00:38:19Chloe, your father won't abandon us.
00:38:22He's just dealing with a lot right now.
00:38:25Give him time.
00:38:26Mom, did he fool you too?
00:38:28What?
00:38:28He doesn't want us.
00:38:30Everything he said before, the inheritance, Vermilion, all of it was a lie.
00:38:34He was using us.
00:38:35That's bullshit!
00:38:35It's not!
00:38:36Look at me!
00:38:37My hand is ruined!
00:38:38How many times has he visited me?
00:38:40Twice!
00:38:40Each time he left in less than half an hour.
00:38:42He isn't even giving us money anymore.
00:38:44The mortgage isn't paid, the credit cards are frozen, and I can barely afford my pain meds.
00:38:48This is what he gave me.
00:38:50A ruined hand and an empty promise.
00:38:53No!
00:38:54He promised me!
00:39:00Mrs. Alexandra Thornton?
00:39:02That's me.
00:39:03This is a bank repossession notice.
00:39:05Due to delinquent mortgage payments, the bank has decided to reclaim this property.
00:39:09You have 72 hours to vacate.
00:39:12How is this happening?
00:39:15This is impossible!
00:39:17The mortgage is automatically paid every month.
00:39:19My husband said he handles all the bills.
00:39:21Ma'am, all accounts under Mr. Simon Sterling, the account holder, were frozen three days ago.
00:39:25All linked loans, credit cards, and automatic payment agreements are now invalid.
00:39:28This property's mortgage is three months overdue.
00:39:31The bank sent multiple notices and received no response.
00:39:33No, no, you're wrong.
00:39:35Check again.
00:39:35This has to be a mistake.
00:39:36Ma'am, there is no mistake.
00:39:37These are official bank documents.
00:39:39You can see the full delinquency record and repossession process inside.
00:39:44I need to call him.
00:39:45I need to call my husband.
00:39:47He'll fix this.
00:39:48He has to fix this.
00:39:49I need to call him.
00:39:50Mom, what's going on?
00:39:54The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
00:39:59Disconnected.
00:40:00How is it disconnected?
00:40:01He just...
00:40:01Mom, what happened?
00:40:03He's taking the house back.
00:40:04The bank is taking the house.
00:40:06Simon's accounts are frozen.
00:40:08The loan isn't paid.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10How could he do this?
00:40:11He promised me.
00:40:12He said the house was in my name.
00:40:14He said even if the sky fell, he would never leave you and me on the street.
00:40:19The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
00:40:24Simon, you liar!
00:40:27You said you'd take care of us.
00:40:28You said Chloe was your daughter.
00:40:30You said Vermillion was hers.
00:40:33You said...
00:40:34Mom.
00:40:35Chloe, I'm sorry.
00:40:36Mommy shouldn't have believed him.
00:40:38You should have known.
00:40:39The first time he left us at the hospital, you should have known.
00:40:43Ma'am, I understand you're upset, but according to procedure, you must vacate within 72 hours.
00:40:48If you have questions, you may contact the bank's legal department.
00:40:50I'm not leaving!
00:40:51This is my home!
00:40:52Let them try to throw me out!
00:40:54If you refuse to comply, the bank will apply for a court enforcement order.
00:40:57Marshals may then remove you and your daughter by force.
00:40:59Also, under the loan agreement, late fees, default penalties, and all costs related to this repossession process will be your
00:41:07responsibility.
00:41:08The total is $520,000.
00:41:10How much?
00:41:20For you.
00:41:22If you don't like it, throw it away.
00:41:24Mom, who is this man?
00:41:26I'm not this man.
00:41:28Then what are you?
00:41:29I'm your mother's creditor.
00:41:31Mom owes him money?
00:41:32No.
00:41:33No?
00:41:34Your daughter's surgery costs $3 million.
00:41:36You said I didn't have to pay it back.
00:41:38I said you didn't have to pay back the money.
00:41:40I didn't say it wasn't a debt.
00:41:41There are two kinds of debt.
00:41:43Money debt and favor debt.
00:41:44The money debt was forgiven.
00:41:46The favor debt stays.
00:41:47What favor does Mom owe you?
00:41:49She owes me the truth.
00:41:51What truth?
00:41:51I'll tell her when you're better.
00:41:53Mom, I think this guy is better than Dad.
00:42:00Don't say that.
00:42:01I'm not making it up.
00:42:03Dad never brought me stuffed animals.
00:42:05He only told me to behave.
00:42:07Mom, does Raphael like you?
00:42:08Isabella!
00:42:09I'm serious.
00:42:10I really think so.
00:42:12Don't underestimate a teenage girl's instincts.
00:42:15Isabella.
00:42:16So, Raphael, how did you and my mom meet?
00:42:19In a very ugly place.
00:42:21What place?
00:42:22An orphanage.
00:42:23An orphanage?
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:25She arrived a year after me.
00:42:27Covered in bruises, wouldn't say a word.
00:42:29And looked at everyone like she wanted to kill them.
00:42:31Mom, that was a long time ago.
00:42:33Then I figured out it wasn't that she didn't want to talk.
00:42:35No one was talking to her.
00:42:36So I went to her every day.
00:42:37She ignored me, so I sat beside her and talked to myself.
00:42:40What did she say?
00:42:41She said, you're loud.
00:42:44What happened after that?
00:42:46After that, we grew up together.
00:42:48She learned to talk.
00:42:49I learned to shut up.
00:42:51When exactly did you learn to shut up?
00:42:53Right now.
00:42:54Mom, I really think Raphael is better than Dad.
00:43:04Boss, that transfer record Simon released in the family, $5 million to Raphael Belmont, is fake.
00:43:08I know.
00:43:09You know?
00:43:09The date on that record is six months ago.
00:43:12Six months ago, I was on a mission in Syria.
00:43:13I had no financial transactions with Vermillion.
00:43:16Simon knows that.
00:43:16He was the one approving my mission expenses then.
00:43:18Then how dare he forge a record like that?
00:43:20Because he's betting no one will check.
00:43:22In the family, reputation matters more than proof.
00:43:25He doesn't need to prove Raphael and I had anything.
00:43:27He just needs to plant doubt in the men's hearts.
00:43:30Once doubt grows, it becomes a crack.
00:43:32What do we do?
00:43:33Nothing.
00:43:33Nothing?
00:43:34Let him talk.
00:43:35Let him think his plan is working.
00:43:37The more certain he is that he's winning, the more mistakes he'll make.
00:43:40Boss, what if the brothers really believe him?
00:43:42Marcus, let me ask you something.
00:43:43Go ahead.
00:43:44What is Simon's biggest weakness?
00:43:46Greed.
00:43:46Greed is just the symptom.
00:43:48His biggest weakness is that he's always imitating.
00:43:50Imitating?
00:43:51He imitates how a boss acts, how to manage the family, how to give orders.
00:43:55But he doesn't understand that what makes men follow you isn't power.
00:43:58It's trust.
00:43:59He can embezzle money, forge records, buy loyalty, but he can't buy trust.
00:44:04Then we?
00:44:05Wait.
00:44:06He's about to make his move.
00:44:15Simon, you wanted to see me?
00:44:16Sit.
00:44:19Do you know this man?
00:44:20Isn't this that arms dealer from the Middle East?
00:44:23Yes.
00:44:24His name is Khalid.
00:44:25He was Victoria's contact during her Syria mission three years ago.
00:44:27I'll be honest.
00:44:28I checked Victoria's mission records from the past three years.
00:44:31Most were normal, but three of them were blank.
00:44:33Only time and location.
00:44:35No details, no income, no explanation.
00:44:36Blank.
00:44:37Yes.
00:44:38And those three blank missions perfectly overlap with Khalid's movements.
00:44:42I know what you're thinking.
00:44:43I don't want to believe Victoria falsified mission blanks.
00:44:45And privately contacted a Middle Eastern arms dealer.
00:44:48But the evidence is here.
00:44:50Simon, is this evidence reliable?
00:44:51I didn't call you here to make you do anything.
00:44:53It's just...
00:44:55You're one of the old guard.
00:44:56There are things you need to know.
00:44:57I understand.
00:45:01Simon, have you considered...
00:45:02What if this evidence is fake?
00:45:04What if someone gave you this on purpose to turn you against Boss Victoria?
00:45:07Fake?
00:45:08Even if it's fake, I'll make it real.
00:45:10Victoria will never get back on her feet.
00:45:18Boss, Simon has been contacting people in the Middle East.
00:45:21The Middle East?
00:45:22Yes.
00:45:22He spent money spreading word through the family that you used Vermillion funds for private dealings with that arms dealer.
00:45:27Is that arms dealer Khalid?
00:45:29Boss, you know him?
00:45:30Yes.
00:45:31I was in Syria three years ago.
00:45:33But he wasn't an arms dealer.
00:45:35Simon had a business deal in Syria that went bad.
00:45:38They came after him, and I shielded him.
00:45:40That man...
00:45:41He has no shame.
00:45:44Doesn't matter.
00:45:46If he wants to use this, let him.
00:45:48But Boss, if he brings this to the family gathering...
00:45:50He won't.
00:45:52Why?
00:45:53If he brings it to the gathering, one quick check destroys it.
00:45:58His real goal is to make everyone lose trust in me before the gathering, so he can become the true
00:46:03head of the family.
00:46:05Despicable bastard.
00:46:07If Simon showed you evidence that I betrayed the family, would you believe it?
00:46:10Never.
00:46:11I know who you are.
00:46:12Someone as strong as you earns loyalty.
00:46:15Simon just plays cheap tricks.
00:46:16Then that's enough.
00:46:18I trust the brothers in the family still have that much judgment.
00:46:21Don't you?
00:46:28Raphael, what's that?
00:46:32Soup.
00:46:33You made it?
00:46:34Bought it.
00:46:36Wow!
00:46:37Cream of mushroom!
00:46:38Drink it while it's hot.
00:46:43You too.
00:46:44You haven't eaten properly in three days.
00:46:46How do you know that?
00:46:48Lucky guess.
00:46:53Raphael, can you cook?
00:46:56A little.
00:46:58If I need to, I can learn.
00:47:00Okay, then.
00:47:01Once you learn, if it tastes good, I'll approve you dating my mom.
00:47:07Then I'd better learn fast.
00:47:25Beautiful.
00:47:26How long has it been since I saw you smile like that?
00:47:34Really?
00:47:35Not since you married Simon.
00:47:38Raphael, back then, why didn't you come after me again?
00:47:42You chose someone else.
00:47:44I respected that.
00:47:45Back then, I thought he was what you needed.
00:47:47He was gentler than me, warmer than me, better with pretty words.
00:47:51I thought he could make you happy.
00:47:52If I had known, if I had known, I would have-
00:47:55Raphael, stop.
00:47:56That's all in the past.
00:48:00I'm sorry.
00:48:01I didn't come here to reopen old wombs.
00:48:02I came to tell you that whatever you do next, I'm on your side.
00:48:07Okay.
00:48:10Mom.
00:48:12Yeah?
00:48:13Dad did something really bad.
00:48:16And hurt you, didn't he?
00:48:20Isabella-
00:48:20Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore.
00:48:23I can judge for myself.
00:48:25And I don't care about Vermilient.
00:48:28I only care whether you're happy.
00:48:32Isabella, I'm sorry.
00:48:33I failed you.
00:48:35You didn't fail me.
00:48:36Dad failed us.
00:48:38Mom, Raphael's a good man.
00:48:40I can tell he's sincere.
00:48:42You can consider getting me a new dad.
00:48:44I don't mind.
00:48:45Wait a little longer.
00:48:47It's almost over.
00:48:55This is what Simon circulated today.
00:48:57He can't wait to make his move.
00:49:00He turned this many people?
00:49:01Mostly because he showed them your call records with Raphael Belmont and the Middle East Intel.
00:49:07He's getting better at faking things.
00:49:09Boss, if Simon brings this up at next Friday's gathering-
00:49:12He won't wait until next Friday.
00:49:14What do you mean?
00:49:15Before the gathering, he'll pull in everyone he can.
00:49:17By the time we get there, whether the intel is real or fake won't matter.
00:49:21He only needs the meeting as a formality to push me out.
00:49:24So we just let it happen?
00:49:25Of course not.
00:49:26That day we'll have a surprise ready for him.
00:49:38Mom, I got expelled!
00:49:42What?
00:49:44Permanent expulsion?
00:49:45And it's going on my record.
00:49:47How am I supposed to live?
00:49:49People will point at me for the rest of my life.
00:49:52Mom, I can't do this!
00:49:53Do something!
00:49:59How is that possible?
00:50:01Your father said he handled the school-
00:50:03He lied to us!
00:50:04He made us homeless!
00:50:05And now I'm expelled!
00:50:07No!
00:50:08Didn't he say he would take us away once he handled the family business?
00:50:12He's not coming.
00:50:13He's never coming.
00:50:15Chloe, what happened?
00:50:16Mom, look at me!
00:50:18Look at my hand!
00:50:19My hand is ruined!
00:50:21He won't want to cripple like me.
00:50:23Chloe, I'm sorry.
00:50:26Mommy is so sorry!
00:50:28Mom, he played us!
00:50:33And if he wants to screw us over, then we screw him back.
00:50:41Chloe, what are you talking about?
00:50:43Mom, do you know what he's most afraid of right now?
00:50:46What?
00:50:48Vermilion losing trust in him.
00:50:50If that happens, everything he did was for nothing.
00:50:54Don't do anything stupid.
00:50:56Mom, I know now.
00:50:58He set it up so I'd notice Isabella at the archery club.
00:51:02If I'm willing to testify against him.
00:51:06Chloe!
00:51:07Are you insane?
00:51:09If you confess, expulsion will be the least of it!
00:51:12You could go to prison!
00:51:15Mom, does my life look that different from prison right now?
00:51:19My hand is ruined.
00:51:21School is gone.
00:51:22The house is being taken.
00:51:24Dad abandoned us.
00:51:26What else do I have to lose?
00:51:30Chloe, listen to me!
00:51:31Mom, I'm not asking for permission.
00:51:33I've decided he is going to pay.
00:51:40This also has evidence of him moving Vermilion money into my personal account.
00:51:48With this, he's done.
00:51:54When did you...
00:51:57The day he left us at the hospital, I knew he couldn't be trusted.
00:52:02So I kept the evidence, just in case this day came.
00:52:06Chloe!
00:52:08Why didn't you tell me sooner?
00:52:10Because I still had a little hope.
00:52:12I thought he remembered I was his daughter.
00:52:15But now...
00:52:20Now I don't hope for anything.
00:52:25Fine.
00:52:26You're right, that man deserves to burn.
00:52:30What do you want to do?
00:52:31I'm going to Victoria.
00:52:33What?
00:52:34You can't.
00:52:34She'll kill you.
00:52:35She won't.
00:52:36If she wanted me dead, she would have killed me at the hospital.
00:52:39She ruined my hand but left me alive because she was avenging her daughter.
00:52:43She wants something bigger.
00:52:44What does she want?
00:52:47Simon's life.
00:52:49What do we do?
00:53:00What do you want?
00:53:01We need to talk.
00:53:04What do you want from me?
00:53:13Thank you for coming.
00:53:15Don't thank me.
00:53:16I only came to see what you wanted to show me.
00:53:23This has evidence that Simon deliberately pushed me into hurting Isabella.
00:53:27It also has the records of him transferring Vermilion funds into accounts under my name.
00:53:31Why give this to me?
00:53:33He lied to my mom about marrying her.
00:53:35Lied to me about making me Vermilion's heir.
00:53:37Lied to you about being a good husband and father.
00:53:40All of this happened because of him.
00:53:42And now he wants to push you out and keep ruling.
00:53:45I won't let him.
00:53:47My hand is ruined.
00:53:48The school expelled me for the archery incident.
00:53:51My mom has nothing left.
00:53:53And where is he?
00:53:54He never cared about us at all.
00:53:56I'm not here begging for forgiveness.
00:53:59I almost killed your daughter.
00:54:01You won't forgive me.
00:54:02And I'll never forgive myself either.
00:54:05But your daughter was right.
00:54:06Wrong choices have consequences.
00:54:09Not just for me.
00:54:10For Simon too.
00:54:13You know handing this to me could send you to prison too.
00:54:16I know.
00:54:19Aren't you afraid?
00:54:21My hand is already ruined.
00:54:24My life is already wrecked.
00:54:26What is there left to fear?
00:54:31Does your mother know you're here?
00:54:33Don't worry about her.
00:54:34Even if she disagrees, she can't stop me.
00:54:39I already had most of this.
00:54:40But thank you.
00:54:42If it comes down to court testimony, you don't have to go.
00:54:44No.
00:54:45I'll go.
00:54:46I want to put him away myself.
00:54:48Victoria.
00:54:50How is Isabella?
00:54:52She's doing well.
00:54:53She'll be discharged soon.
00:54:58That's good.
00:54:59I didn't kill anyone.
00:55:03Brothers, I called everyone here today because I have something important to announce.
00:55:08As you all know, Victoria's daughter recently had an accident.
00:55:12It hit Victoria hard.
00:55:14She's emotionally unstable and has already made some irrational choices.
00:55:20Simon is right.
00:55:21Boss Victoria really hasn't been herself lately.
00:55:24I don't want to do this.
00:55:26But as acting head of the family, I have a duty to protect Vermillion's interests.
00:55:29So I propose that Victoria's authority be temporarily revoked and that I take full control until she recovers.
00:55:35This is the authorization document under Vermillion rules.
00:55:38If more than half the managers sign, authority passes to the acting head.
00:55:43Brothers, sign it.
00:55:49What about you?
00:55:52Why aren't you saying anything?
00:55:54Was I unclear?
00:55:56Or do you not believe me?
00:55:57Simon, I know you've managed the family well these past few years.
00:56:00But I still want to hear what Boss Victoria has to say first.
00:56:04She's in no condition.
00:56:17I hear someone here wants to strip me of all my authority.
00:56:21Honey, sweetheart, why are you here?
00:56:23We're holding a family meeting.
00:56:24A meeting about what?
00:56:25How I'm emotionally unstable?
00:56:27How I'm unfit to manage the family?
00:56:30Simon, before you say another word, think carefully.
00:56:33From this moment on, every word you say will be on record.
00:56:38Honey, what are you doing?
00:56:39We're family.
00:56:41Can't we talk this through?
00:56:42Family?
00:56:43Simon, when was I ever family to you?
00:56:45Good timing.
00:56:46I have something for you all to see.
00:56:59What the hell is this?
00:57:0147 million?
00:57:03How is it that much?
00:57:04Simon, explain this.
00:57:06It's fake!
00:57:08Victoria, you forged this to frame me!
00:57:15Simon!
00:57:16You used family money to support your bastard daughter?
00:57:19I didn't.
00:57:19It's forged.
00:57:20Victoria, you...
00:57:23There's more.
00:57:26This isn't real.
00:57:28These are forged documents.
00:57:30I know what this is.
00:57:31Victoria is colluding with the Belmont family.
00:57:34She wants to destroy me.
00:57:35Get your facts straight.
00:57:37You're the one who hid two Middle East arms deals from the family.
00:57:40When they took your money, I was the one who cleaned up your mess.
00:57:44And you forged evidence claiming I had an affair, claiming I betrayed Vermilient.
00:57:48You tried to pull me down, and you even went after your own daughter.
00:57:53Simon, your biggest problem isn't that you're greedy.
00:57:57It's that you're greedy and stupid.
00:57:59Simon, you son of a bitch!
00:58:01You used family money for your woman and your bastard, then framed boss Victoria?
00:58:0547 million!
00:58:07Do you know how long that could feed the brothers?
00:58:09Simon, what do you have to say for yourself?
00:58:14Vermilion rules.
00:58:15Betraying the family and embezzling funds.
00:58:17What's the punishment?
00:58:18Expulsion from the family.
00:58:20All assets seized.
00:58:22If it rises to betrayal, the family code applies.
00:58:25You!
00:58:26You ungrateful bastards!
00:58:28Who has been running this family all those years?
00:58:32Who has been paying you?
00:58:33Me!
00:58:34Simon!
00:58:34Victoria, you think you've won.
00:58:36I still have people in this family.
00:58:39You think they all answer to you?
00:58:41Your people.
00:58:45I get it!
00:58:45It was you!
00:58:46You set this up from the beginning just waiting to laugh at me!
00:58:49You poisonous bitch!
00:58:51Blame your own character.
00:58:52Do you know who exposed the accounts you used to move the money?
00:58:54Your precious daughter, Chloe.
00:58:56That's impossible.
00:58:57When your own child turns on you, that's a special kind of failure.
00:59:01Do it.
00:59:03You don't come any closer.
00:59:08Victoria, honey, I was wrong.
00:59:10I really was.
00:59:12Give me one chance.
00:59:13I'm Isabella's father.
00:59:14You can't do this to me.
00:59:15So you remember you're Isabella's father.
00:59:18You had someone shoot an arrow through her chest.
00:59:20The tip missed her heart by two millimeters.
00:59:22She almost died.
00:59:23Do you understand that?
00:59:24I didn't mean to.
00:59:26I just wanted to make Vermillion stronger to protect you better.
00:59:30Protect us?
00:59:31Were you protecting us when you used family money to keep your mistress?
00:59:34When you promised succession to your bastard daughter?
00:59:36When you spread lies that I betrayed Vermillion?
00:59:38Simon, stop making excuses.
00:59:39Throw him out.
00:59:40He is never to return.
00:59:41Seize every asset under his name and hand him over to the court.
00:59:46Don't hand me to the police.
00:59:47Victoria, please.
00:59:49I don't want to go to prison.
00:59:50You don't get a choice.
00:59:52Victoria!
00:59:53You can't do this to me!
00:59:54I'm your husband!
00:59:55I'm Isabella's father!
00:59:57You can't!
01:00:02Let me go!
01:00:03Do you know who I am?
01:00:04I'm Simon!
01:00:05I run Vermillion!
01:00:06Not anymore.
01:00:10Marcus!
01:00:11For all the years Victoria left Vermeus in my hands, you followed me too.
01:00:15And this is how you treat me?
01:00:16Simon, I never followed you.
01:00:18I followed Boss Victoria.
01:00:20Always.
01:00:32Victoria, you think you've won?
01:00:34I'll find a way back.
01:00:35You'll see.
01:00:36Boss, are you okay?
01:00:37I was married to him for so many years.
01:00:39I thought he had at least one line he wouldn't cross.
01:00:42Boss, you're really letting him walk away?
01:00:44Give a man hope first, then crush him.
01:00:47That's how you break him completely.
01:00:55Sir, I'm sorry.
01:00:56This ticket cannot be used.
01:00:57What?
01:00:58Impossible.
01:01:00Mr. Simon Sterling?
01:01:01What do you want?
01:01:01You've been reported for suspected money laundering and inciting a minor to commit attempted murder.
01:01:05Please cooperate with the investigation.
01:01:08Let me go!
01:01:10Let me go!
01:01:11No!
01:01:12No!
01:01:13Mrs. Thorne, please tell the court whether Simon Sterling instructed your daughter,
01:01:18Chloe Thorne, to intentionally harm Isabella Sterling.
01:01:22Yes.
01:01:22The night before it happened, he called me and said,
01:01:26if Isabella got hurt, Victoria would lose control.
01:01:29He said it was his only chance to take back Vermillion.
01:01:33She's lying!
01:01:34She's insane!
01:01:35She's doing this to get back at me.
01:01:37They're all in this together.
01:01:44The defendant will remain silent.
01:01:47My daughter is willing to testify.
01:01:53Ms. Thorne, please tell the court whether Simon Sterling instructed you to hurt Isabella
01:01:57Sterling.
01:01:58Yes.
01:01:58He hinted many times that he wanted Isabella hurt.
01:02:01That's why I acted against her almost without thinking.
01:02:04Is everything you're saying true?
01:02:05I have recordings as evidence.
01:02:07I've also submitted proof that he transferred funds into accounts under my name.
01:02:11You ruined my hand, my future, my mother's life, and you hurt Isabella, all for your own
01:02:16ambition.
01:02:17Don't forget, you're the one who shot Isabella.
01:02:19You won't get away either.
01:02:21I'll take responsibility for what I did.
01:02:23Now it's your turn to pay for what you did.
01:02:29Mom, will Chloe go to jail?
01:02:32Maybe.
01:02:33She hurt you.
01:02:34But she testified voluntarily, so the judge may be lenient.
01:02:38Mom, sometimes I wonder, if I didn't have you, would I have become like her?
01:02:49No.
01:02:51You're that sure?
01:02:53You said it yourself, because you have me.
01:02:56As long as Mommy is here, no one gets to hurt you.
01:03:01Mom, so what's going on with Raphael?
01:03:04What's going on?
01:03:06You know, how far have you two gotten?
01:03:09What do you mean?
01:03:10You know.
01:03:11What's wrong with your eyes?
01:03:13Nothing.
01:03:13Mom, tell me the truth.
01:03:14Do you like him or not?
01:03:17I don't know.
01:03:20Mom, lying is bad.
01:03:22What lie?
01:03:22I'm not lying.
01:03:23Mom, don't you know?
01:03:25Every time you lie, your ears get red.
01:03:27Mom, just admit it.
01:03:29Admit what?
01:03:32That you have feelings for me, too?
01:03:35Why are you here?
01:03:36Isabella?
01:03:37How long have you been here?
01:03:39How much did you hear?
01:03:41You and Isabella were very absorbed in your conversation.
01:03:45But now I do have a question.
01:03:47What exactly do you feel for me?
01:03:53Guess.
01:03:57Fine.
01:03:59Either way, I'm the one standing beside you now.
01:04:02We have plenty of time.
01:04:05Members of the jury, have you reached a unanimous verdict?
01:04:12Yes, Your Honor.
01:04:13Please read the verdict.
01:04:15As to the defendant, Simon Sterling.
01:04:18Aggravated assault, guilty.
01:04:20Solicitation of a minor to commit a crime, guilty.
01:04:22Financial fraud, guilty.
01:04:25Money laundering, guilty.
01:04:26Attempted first-degree murder, guilty.
01:04:28Simon Sterling, this court sentences you to 30 years in prison with no parole.
01:04:3430 years.
01:04:3630 years.
01:04:41Victoria, Isabella is my daughter, too.
01:04:44I didn't mean to hurt her.
01:04:45You can't do this to me.
01:04:47When you designed all of this, did you remember she was your daughter?
01:04:57It's finally over.
01:05:04What are you thinking about?
01:05:07That it's finally over.
01:05:09Was it worth it?
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:12Isabella survived.
01:05:13Simon got what he deserved.
01:05:15Vermiliot is back on track.
01:05:17And you?
01:05:17What about me?
01:05:18May I finally have the honor of getting your answer?
01:05:21Raphael, shut up.
01:05:23Kiss me.
01:05:34Mom, you look beautiful.
01:05:37So do you.
01:05:38I hope you're happy this time.
01:05:41We all will be.
01:05:51Take good care of her.
01:05:53I will.
01:05:54I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:05:59We're all going to be happy.
01:06:02We're all going to be happy.
01:06:04We're all going to be happy.
01:06:05We're all going to be happy.
01:06:05We're all going to be happy.
01:06:05We're all going to be happy.
01:06:05We're all going to be happy.
