00:01:26Master, you finally called for me!
00:01:31Hey, stop crying. You're a demigod now. Pull yourself together.
00:01:36Demigod? Who cares? I'm just your summoned beast, Master.
00:01:48Greetings, Lord Temple Master.
00:02:02Hawk lead to all birds. We're entering the canyon in 30 seconds. Keep your intervals tight and your heads on
00:02:07a swivel.
00:02:08Ladies, get your balls tight, because there's no room for mistakes down there.
00:02:12Copy lead. We're glued to your six. That's what I like to hear. Let's go make some noise.
00:02:26Silence!
00:02:32Master, everything I am, it's because of you. When I step out, I won't stop until I reach Ascendant. That's
00:02:37a promise.
00:02:39Don't master me. You can't even sniff Ascendant. I don't take stragglers.
00:02:43Come on. I'm the Grand Master of the Order. Top dog of the whole Federation. And you're still giving me
00:02:50the brush off?
00:02:51Spare me the CV. Beat it.
00:02:57Master, when I make Ascendant, I swear I'll come back and formally take you as my master.
00:03:03You yap more than any con I've ever sprunged. Keep yapping. I'll give you another three years to think about
00:03:08it.
00:03:08Thank you, Master. I owe you everything.
00:03:24All hail the Grand Master! The Federation's mightiest warrior!
00:03:30Are you nuts? Keep it down!
00:03:34Master, your disciple Victoria Cross. Present. I didn't realize your meditation spot was right next to a dump like that.
00:03:41Dump? That's the Abyss. The most vicious lock-up on Earth. I'm lucky I'm breathing.
00:03:47After three years, you must be right at Ascendant's doorstem. You're practically invincible now.
00:03:55Invincible? Not even close. My master could drop an Ascendant with two hands tied.
00:04:00Hold up. Your master? There's someone stronger than you? Can I... Can I get an introduction?
00:04:06When I'm his disciple for real, you'll know.
00:04:08Now up, everyone. Move out. And zip it.
00:04:11Master, I've got to stop to make it that prison. I'll find you later.
00:04:17Meet the Dreadlord, third on the world's most wanted. Orders are to house him here.
00:04:24Copy. Anything else?
00:04:25One more thing. You are Drake Ashford, I presume? I'm Victoria Cross. And it appears, by arrangement, I'm your fiancée.
00:04:37I'm here to terminate that arrangement. You're not going to make this difficult, are you?
00:04:48Why the sudden divorce?
00:04:51You are not worthy of Miss Eileen. If you care about her at all, sign the papers and leave.
00:04:57You're just holding her back.
00:04:59I'm not good enough for her?
00:05:01You're a nobody with no summoned beast. What makes you think you deserve her?
00:05:05Who do you think you are? Lord Bart from the Summoner's Temple?
00:05:08Bart? If he saw me, he'd get on his knees and kiss my boots.
00:05:15Shut your mouth. Do you have a death wish, bad-mouthing the Temple's Branch Master?
00:05:25Don't waste your breath on this small-minded loser. He knows nothing.
00:05:41A magic core that boosts your summoned beast potential. Engagement gift. For you.
00:05:46So this is the real reason you want a divorce?
00:05:49You could see it that way. My husband can't be some loser with no summoned beast.
00:05:57Sign it.
00:06:07Fine. I'll sign the divorce papers. Just don't regret this later.
00:06:16He wouldn't dare object. A small-time warden in a nowhere prison.
00:06:21Next to the Federation's youngest general, he's not even the dirt under your boots.
00:06:25Is this woman insane? Breaking off an engagement with the warden himself?
00:06:31Unbelievable. Poor choice.
00:06:34You're calling off the engagement?
00:06:35What, that surprises you? Hard to swallow?
00:06:38I know this must be a bitter pill.
00:06:40But let's not kid ourselves. Eagles don't roost with sparrows.
00:06:44I'm the youngest general in Federation history.
00:06:46I trained under the most formidable warrior alive, Marcus Stone, Grand Master of the Order.
00:06:51Marcus Stone's disciple? That's interesting.
00:06:54At present, I hold the Federation's central command. Alone.
00:06:58And in time, I will take the Order's helm and drive this nation to the apex of global power.
00:07:04Global power's apex?
00:07:06That's a bit of a reach, don't you think?
00:07:07A sparrow would think an eagle flies too high. Your world ends at these walls.
00:07:12You could never fathom the heights I'm bound for.
00:07:14Face it. You're a washed-up heir hiding in this nowhere prison, barking orders at a pack of nobles.
00:07:20It's sad, really. We're not even playing the same game.
00:07:23Can't argue with that. Not the same game.
00:07:24Good. You know your place.
00:07:26The kind of man I'd respect is either Solomon Gray, the richest man on the planet running a global empire,
00:07:30or my master Marcus Stone, invincible at the helm of the Order.
00:07:33You?
00:07:34Even if I had the stomach for it, would you have the spine?
00:07:36He'd need ten lifetimes just to earn the right to polish your boots.
00:07:42As compensation, I'll leave you three gifts.
00:07:46Here's ten million dollars. Should keep you comfortable in this backwater for the rest of your days.
00:07:50And a Lazarus pill, brewed by the legendary Dr. Lazarus before he vanished.
00:07:55One dose, one resurrection. Use it wisely.
00:07:59Finally, my General's badge.
00:08:02Bring it to me, and I'll do you three favors. No questions, no strings.
00:08:07What a waste on trash like you.
00:08:10You ought to be kissing the ground she walks in, not standing there like a dead fish.
00:08:18He wouldn't dare object.
00:08:20A small-time warden in a nowhere prison.
00:08:23Next to the Federation's youngest general, he's not even the dirt under your boots.
00:08:28Is this woman insane?

00:10:07No questions, no strings.
00:10:09What a waste on trash like you.
00:10:12You ought to be kissing the ground she walks in, not standing there like a dead fish.
00:10:23I'm so sorry, sir.
00:10:25Let me get you a blanket right away.
00:10:26It's fine.
00:10:33You shameless stalker, hanging around like a leech.
00:10:36The general already told you, you're a fish out of water.
00:10:38You're not even in her league.
00:10:39You deaf or what?
00:10:40Funny, I was about to say the same.
00:10:42Running into you everywhere.
00:10:43What a curse.
00:10:44You!
00:10:45Enough.
00:10:45He's been buried in that prison so long, he has no clue who I really am.
00:10:48Once it sinks in, he'll slink off on his own.
00:10:50You and I are never going to happen.
00:10:52Drop the delusion and stay out of my way, unless you enjoy being humiliated.
00:11:00General Cross, you chatted with this guy long enough.
00:11:03He must mean something to you.
00:11:05You took my brother, now I'm taking him.
00:11:07Surrender or he bleeds.
00:11:09The Phantom, number two on the global Most Wanted.
00:11:13Your brother's the Dreadlord.
00:11:15I've got nothing to do with him.
00:11:17If you want to fight, face me.
00:11:18No need to drag a nobody into this.
00:11:22General, be careful.
00:11:23This is all your fault.
00:11:26If anything happens to the General, I will end you myself.
00:11:30Phantom, don't you know who you're dealing with?
00:11:31She took down the Dreadlord alone.
00:11:33You dare attack her?
00:11:34You're dead.
00:11:35Ha!
00:11:36The only man who ever put me in my place was that one in the Abyss.
00:11:39Everyone else, I kill whoever I please.
00:11:41Starting with her.
00:11:52Oh, crap.
00:11:53It's him.
00:11:54I'm dead.
00:11:55Run.
00:11:56Now.
00:11:57You got lucky today.
00:11:58I'm in a good mood.
00:11:59I'll let you live.
00:12:00Don't ever cross me again.
00:12:04General!
00:12:05He booked it!
00:12:07The bastard just vanished!
00:12:08That makes no sense.
00:12:10Why would he just run?
00:12:12Isn't it obvious?
00:12:14Your presence alone terrified him.
00:12:16A petty assassin is nothing compared to you.
00:12:18Hey, dead weight.
00:12:19Cat got your tongue?
00:12:21Too scared to even squeak?
00:12:22That little stunt?
00:12:23Please.
00:12:26You literally pissed yourself and you're still playing tough?
00:12:29If the general hadn't scared off the Phantom, you'd be a smear on the floor.
00:12:33Get on your knees and thank her!
00:12:34Let it go.
00:12:35The Phantom came for me.
00:12:36People at my level deal with this daily.
00:12:38For someone like him, it must have been a tsunami.
00:12:40Losing control is understandable.
00:12:43Ashfernd, I hope today's little scare won't leave you scarred for life.
00:12:45Let's go.
00:12:50Let's go.
00:12:51Phantom, you son of a bitch.
00:12:53I'm sending someone to drag your ass back to the Adbiss.
00:12:55Add another ten years.
00:13:06Harker Stone greets the Master's return.
00:13:09Not bad.
00:13:10You actually made it to Ascendant.
00:13:13All thanks to you, Master.
00:13:15I want to formally become your disciple.
00:13:18Please give me a shot.
00:13:19Fine.
00:13:20You barely scrape by.
00:13:22Thank you, Master.
00:13:23The ceremony's set for tomorrow night.
00:13:25Victoria's handling everything.
00:13:26She's dying to meet you.
00:13:27Dying to meet me?
00:13:29That'll be entertaining.
00:13:32For the ceremony, I've invited the city's elite.
00:13:35This is your black card invitation.
00:13:37The only one of its kind.
00:13:39Good.
00:13:40You haven't been back in years.
00:13:41I've arranged the finest state in the city, the Crown.
00:13:43Hope it's up to your standards.
00:13:44Thoughtful.
00:13:45One more thing.
00:13:45The Whitmorns are hosting a charity gala tonight.
00:13:47Prepare three donations delivered to the Whitmore estate.
00:13:50The Whitmorns?
00:13:51Understood.
00:13:51I'll handle it right away.
00:14:00Victoria, prepare three top-lead donations.
00:14:03Get them to the Whitmore estate immediately.
00:14:04Yes, Master.
00:14:05Right away.
00:14:06To Lady Whitmore.
00:14:07May her name live on forever.
00:14:09Thank you all for attending.
00:14:11Tonight, I have a special announcement regarding my granddaughter, Selina.
00:14:16We heard you're finding a match for the city's most beautiful woman.
00:14:19Wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:14:20Correct.
00:14:21Tonight, I'm choosing a worthy husband for Selina.
00:14:25Someone who upholds the Whitmore legacy.
00:14:27Grandmother, Grandfather already arranged my engagement.
00:14:31Drake Ashfield...
00:14:32Silence!
00:14:33Your Grandfather is gone.
00:14:34I run this house now.
00:14:35Drake Ashfield is astray his own family throughout.
00:14:38No money, no power, no name.
00:14:40He'll never set foot in this family.
00:14:42Listen to your Grandmother, dear.
00:14:43Drake's a nobody.
00:14:45Brandon Hale wants you.
00:14:47The Hals are connected to Solomon Gray's empire.
00:14:49You should be grateful.
00:14:51Mother...
00:14:52Father made that engagement himself.
00:14:54I said enough!
00:14:56If that worthless fool dares show his face here,
00:14:59I'll have him carried out on a stredger!
00:15:03Drake Ashfield.
00:15:04Here to wish Lady Whitfield a long and prosperous life.
00:15:14Wow, real tough guy.
00:15:18So we're all not worthy enough to make you kneel, huh?
00:15:20Not worthy?
00:15:21The Howard family controls every magic core mine in this city.
00:15:25If I cut off supply, every summoner in Valon will be on their knees begging me.
00:15:28And a loser who can't even light a summonation on says I'm not worthy?
00:15:32The Sterling family runs all summon beast trade in Valon.
00:15:36One word from me and every wild mercery will tear you apart.
00:15:38Who the hell do you think you are?
00:15:40Why waste breath on him?
00:15:42Any contract scroll from the Morell family is worth more than his sad little life.
00:15:46If we don't break him today, where's our pride?
00:15:49Hughes, stop this madness.
00:15:51Do you want to die here?
00:15:53Get on your knees and apologize to the three heads of houses now!
00:15:59Even if your ancestors climbed out of their greaves,
00:16:03they still wouldn't be worthy of ordering me around.
00:16:08What a boast!
00:16:20Tear him apart, your heart!
00:16:32He's ruining the ceremony.
00:16:57Kill him apart!
00:17:30Easy, Selina. I'm here to marry you. That's not changing.
00:17:33Selina, have you lost your mind? This loser can't give you a thing.
00:17:38Brandon Hale is the real prize. He's a catch and a half.
00:17:41I run this household. That engagement is dead and buried.
00:17:45General Whitmore gave his word, and you just toss it aside?
00:17:48No wonder this family's been sliding downhill ever since he stepped down.
00:17:52Nonsense! Under my watch, this family's been thriving!
00:17:56Thriving? That's because I've been pulling strings behind the scenes.
00:18:01Without me, the Whitmosis would have been gobbled up ages ago.
00:18:04Lies! You expect me to believe this family owes everything to a nobody like you?
00:18:10Absolutely.
00:18:12Delusional! Get this man out of my sight!
00:18:16Presenting Mr. Brandon Hale.
00:18:18Brandon Hale. His family runs the local branch of Solomon Gray's empire.
00:18:22They're practically royalty around here.
00:18:23I heard he's been chasing Selina for years. Looks like tonight's the night.
00:18:27Lady Whitmore. Apologies for my tardiness.
00:18:30Not at all. The honor is all mine, Mr. Hale.
00:18:34I was just meeting with General Cross. Took a bit longer than expected.
00:18:39General Cross? The youngest general in Federation history?
00:18:44The very same. You may not have heard.
00:18:45Marcus Stone, Grandmaster of the Order, has arrived in the city.
00:18:48He's about to formally become the disciple of the legendary Wolf King.
00:18:51It's the talk of the elite world.
00:18:52General Cross has marked his direct disciples handling the ceremony personally.
00:18:55She's sending invitation to every major player.
00:18:57I just picked up ours for the Hale family. That's why I was late.
00:18:59Good heavens! An invitation to the Wolf King ceremony.
00:19:04Brandon, you truly are extraordinary.
00:19:07It's nothing, really.
00:19:09But word is, the Wolf King himself will attend.
00:19:11And if I can make a connection, the Hale family could skyrocket to the top of the Federation overnight.
00:19:19And what makes you think the Wolf King would give a damn about a small fry like you?
00:19:28And this?
00:19:29A partnership agreement with Solomon Gray's corporation.
00:19:32Worth at least 10 million.
00:19:34I heard the Whitmills have been struggling since the general passed.
00:19:37With a deal from the biggest corporation on the planet, the family's future is secure.
00:19:45Brandon, this is beyond generous.
00:19:48You're a godsend.
00:19:50Brandon, you're incredible.
00:19:53Over 10 million in gifts.
00:19:55Selina, look at what he's done.
00:19:57And look at that worthless nobody.
00:19:59Get over here and stand with Brandon.
00:20:01Oh, Helen, don't be so hard on him.
00:20:03I'm sure Drake's got something wonderful prepared, too.
00:20:08Right?
00:20:09Drake, let's go.
00:20:10Ignore him.
00:20:13I did prepare something better.
00:20:15But this junk doesn't even deserve table space.
00:20:26How dare you!
00:20:29Drake Ashfield, you're a dead man walking!
00:20:32You worthless animal!
00:20:34How could you?!
00:20:35Drake, what have you done?
00:20:39Three minutes.
00:20:40Get my gifts to the Whitemore estate.
00:20:42Now.
00:20:43Drake, run!
00:20:45You destroyed his gifts.
00:20:46He won't let this go.
00:20:49Selina, relax.
00:20:51Just watch.
00:20:52You son of a bitch!
00:20:54I'll skin you alive for this!
00:20:57Delivery for the gala!
00:21:01First up, a deed to a $500 million vineyard estate in Bordeaux.
00:21:06Next.
00:21:06A flawless, top-grade bloodstone, valued at $500 million.
00:21:11And finally, a 10% equity stake in Grey Corporation, valued at $1 billion.
00:21:17Impossible!
00:21:19Who...
00:21:21Who sent such extraordinary gifts?
00:21:24Selina, they're in your name for grandmother.
00:21:27Happy?
00:21:28Drake, you did all this?
00:21:30Drake Ashford actually pulled this off?
00:21:32He completely wiped the floor with Brandon!
00:21:34Impossible!
00:21:35This is nearly $20 million!
00:21:38A prison warden couldn't afford this!
00:21:40No way!
00:21:41Brandon, don't project your limitations onto me.
00:21:44You're out of your league.
00:21:45Oh my...
00:21:47Drake, darling!
00:21:49These gifts are really from you?
00:21:51You're extraordinary!
00:21:53Selina, go be with Drake.
00:21:55I fully support you, too.
00:21:57Drake, this is too much.
00:21:59Don't stretch yourself thin.
00:22:02Don't worry, sir.
00:22:03I know what I'm doing.
00:22:06Grandmother, are you satisfied?
00:22:09Satisfied?
00:22:10Yes, absolutely satisfied.
00:22:18Big deal.
00:22:19They're yours.
00:22:20So what?
00:22:22Grandmother!
00:22:23This is an invitation to the Wolf King's initiation ceremony.
00:22:27Priceless!
00:22:29This invitation is the golden ticket to the upper echelon.
00:22:32If you let Selina marry me, it's yours.
00:22:34Brandon, you're serious?
00:22:36You'd really give this to us?
00:22:38Absolutely.
00:22:39The Hales have two.
00:22:39I'm happy to share one with the Whitmos.
00:22:46You!
00:22:47You're crazy!
00:22:48That invitation is a gesture of respect to General Cross,
00:22:52to Marcus Stone,
00:22:53and to the Wolf King himself!
00:22:55You're a dead man!
00:22:58Drake Ashfield,
00:23:00you've lost your mind.
00:23:02You deserve to die!
00:23:07Get the carriage!
00:23:09Now to the ceremony!
00:23:14That bitch, Soleil.
00:23:16Thinks she can have Master all to herself?
00:23:22Tell my people to get ready right now.
00:23:25Prepare a little gift for Master.
00:23:28I'm going to that ceremony too.
00:23:36Miss, the ceremony's about to start.
00:23:38If he keeps causing trouble,
00:23:39you're going to get dragged into this too.
00:23:42Hughes, stop this.
00:23:44Do you really want to push this past the point of no return?
00:23:46The point of no return?
00:23:47You're just scared I'll ruin your little shot
00:23:49at being a Temple disciple.
00:23:51Yes.
00:23:52You know exactly how much this means to me.
00:23:56That important?
00:23:58Important enough to throw away years of us being together just like that?
00:24:02I don't have a choice.
00:24:04You have no idea what you just threw away.
00:24:07Stop talking big!
00:24:08You keep this up,
00:24:10and you're going to get yourself killed!
00:24:15My life?
00:24:24It's right here.
00:24:26Let's see who dares try to take him.
00:24:33Drake, why would you do that?
00:24:34You just made it worse!
00:24:36Relax.
00:24:37It's just a piece of paper.
00:24:39Funny thing, I've got the same thing right here.
00:24:42Black card.
00:24:43Straight from Marcus Stone.
00:24:50This, this is really an invitation to the ceremony?
00:24:53And it's a black card?
00:24:54Impossible!
00:24:55Marcus Stone wouldn't give you the time of day,
00:24:58let alone a black card!
00:24:59It's obviously a fake!
00:25:01This, it has Marcus Stone's personal seal.
00:25:04It doesn't look forged.
00:25:06Brandon, anything else to say?
00:25:08This can't be real!
00:25:10You!
00:25:12Who dares forge a black card invitation?
00:25:20General Cross!
00:25:22What an honor, we weren't expecting you.
00:25:24Please forgive the humble reception.
00:25:28Grandmother, please.
00:25:29General Whitmore was a great man.
00:25:31My own master once served under him.
00:25:34On Master Stone's orders,
00:25:35I've prepared these three donations for your gala.
00:25:38I trust they're acceptable.
00:25:40Wait.
00:25:45Those gifts were sent by General Cross?
00:25:48On Marcus Stone's orders?
00:25:50So, they weren't from Drake at all?
00:25:52Drake,
00:25:54what's going on?
00:25:56Isn't it obvious?
00:25:57Drake Ashford, you shameless fraud!
00:26:00You tried to take credit for Marcus Stone's gifts,
00:26:03and that black card must be forged, too!
00:26:11Ashford,
00:26:12you've crossed the line.
00:26:17Thank you all for attending the initiation ceremony of Grandmaster Marcus Stone,
00:26:23leader of the Order.
00:26:24The honor is ours, General Cross,
00:26:26to witness the Grandmaster take a master,
00:26:29truly, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
00:26:30On behalf of my father,
00:26:32Victorm Kozov,
00:26:33and the Kozov Syndicate,
00:26:34congratulations to Master Stone.
00:26:37If the Wolf King weren't in this city,
00:26:39none of you smallgut would even be here.
00:26:41Keep your mouths shut when the Grandmaster arrives,
00:26:44and if you so much as breathe wrong in front of the Wolf King,
00:26:47don't bother calling for help.
00:26:52That must be Master Stone!
00:26:58Grandmaster,
00:26:58Victoria Kroos,
00:27:00at your service.
00:27:02All hail Grandmaster Stone!
00:27:07Well, well, look at that.
00:27:10Proper respect.
00:27:11Not bad.
00:27:16You!
00:27:17What the hell are you doing here?
00:27:19Crashing this ceremony?
00:27:21You've got balls, Ashvin!
00:27:22Who the hell is this clown?
00:27:24He made us bow to him!
00:27:25I'll rip his head off!
00:27:28Easy.
00:27:29This is the General's party.
00:27:31Let her deal with it.
00:27:34Drake,
00:27:35what are you trying to prove?
00:27:37You want my attention?
00:27:39It won't work,
00:27:40because I won't spare you a second glance.
00:27:42General,
00:27:43let me shut this trash up!
00:27:45No.
00:27:46He's just a clown begging for attention.
00:27:48Master Stone and the Wolf King will be here any minute.
00:27:50Don't make a scene.
00:27:52Let him stand in the corner and watch.
00:27:59Drake,
00:28:00I'm letting you stay out of mercy.
00:28:02Don't mistake it for anything else.
00:28:03No matter how hard you try to show off in front of me,
00:28:05it's pointless.
00:28:06We are not,
00:28:07and will never be,
00:28:08from the same world.
00:28:10Victoria,
00:28:10you're flattering yourself.
00:28:11I'm not here for you.
00:28:13Arrogant prick!
00:28:14The General spares your life,
00:28:16and you still run your mouth!
00:28:18General Cross,
00:28:19this lowlife disrespected you.
00:28:21Let me put him down!
00:28:22Please, General Cross.
00:28:24I apologize for him.
00:28:25He doesn't know the etiquette.
00:28:26This woman clearly cares about you.
00:28:28You throw a tantrum for your ego,
00:28:30and she has to beg on your behalf.
00:28:32Pathetic.
00:28:32For Salima's sake,
00:28:33I'll let this slide.
00:28:34But know your place.
00:28:35Sit in the back.
00:28:37I'll sit wherever I want.
00:28:47Drake!
00:28:48That chair is reserved for the Wolf King.
00:28:51Get off!
00:28:52Now!
00:28:52He's lost it!
00:28:53Does he actually think he's the Wolf King?
00:28:55When Master Stone sees this,
00:28:57he'll tear that bastard limb from limb!
00:29:00Drake!
00:29:01Please!
00:29:02Just come down!
00:29:03Off the throne!
00:29:05Or die!
00:29:18Grandmaster,
00:29:19Victoria Cross
00:29:20at your service!
00:29:21All hail,
00:29:22Grandmaster Stone!
00:29:34Serves him right.
00:29:35He had it coming.
00:29:36Happy now?
00:29:38You pushed this all the way here.
00:29:42Weren't you just bragging my time was up?
00:29:45All I see is you about to die.
00:29:47Where's this end of mine, huh?
00:29:48You're dead meat!
00:29:53Relax.
00:29:55What's coming for you is right outside that door.
00:30:00You actually think you can get Lord Bart and my dad in here to put me in my place?
00:30:05Yep.
00:30:05Arrogant idiot!
00:30:06Go dream about that in hell!
00:30:10Be reborn.
00:30:21Who do you think you are?
00:30:36Rise.
00:30:37Rise.
00:30:38Rise.
00:30:42Master,
00:30:43apologies.
00:30:44There's been an interruption.
00:30:45This man took the Wolf King's seat.
00:30:47I'll have him removed immediately.
00:30:49Master Stone,
00:30:50this nobody's been disrupting your ceremony since he walked in.
00:30:53Please,
00:30:53deal with him!
00:30:58Since when do I take orders from you?
00:31:01Sir,
00:31:02is everything alright?
00:31:04Sir?
00:31:05Why is Master calling him Sir?
00:31:09Not in the mood.
00:31:10Call it off.
00:31:13Yes, Master.
00:31:17My Master,
00:31:18the Wolf King,
00:31:19has declined to attend.
00:31:21The ceremony is postponed,
00:31:23indefinitely.
00:31:25Master,
00:31:26how can this be?
00:31:27Everything was prepared.
00:31:35It's Drake's fault!
00:31:37He ruined the ceremony
00:31:38and angered the Wolf King!
00:31:40Drake Ashfield
00:31:42destroyed Marcus Stone's ceremony.
00:31:45This bastard deserves to die!
00:31:47General,
00:31:48give the word.
00:31:49I'll drag him back myself.
00:31:51No.
00:31:52I gave him three favors.
00:31:53Consider this one used.
00:31:55Let him go.
00:31:56What matters now
00:31:57is getting the Wolf King
00:31:58to forgive Master Stone.
00:32:00Master said the Wolf King lives
00:32:01at the Crown Estate.
00:32:02We go there tonight
00:32:03and beg for his mercy.
00:32:05Yes, General!
00:32:06General,
00:32:07Master called him Sir.
00:32:09Sir,
00:32:10is everything alright?
00:32:11Why?
00:32:12There's gotta be a reason.
00:32:14But no,
00:32:15it can't be what I'm thinking.
00:32:17He's nobody.
00:32:20knew it.
00:32:21Of course you'd end up
00:32:22mopping floors for a living.
00:32:24Whatever.
00:32:24Since you work here,
00:32:26is the Wolf King inside?
00:32:27I need to see him.
00:32:28He's not available.
00:32:29This isn't a game.
00:32:30The Wolf King pulled the plug
00:32:31on my Master's Ceremony.
00:32:32I need to speak with him.
00:32:34Now,
00:32:34go tell him
00:32:35Victoria Cross is here.
00:32:36I told you.
00:32:38He's busy.
00:32:40Try another day.
00:32:41Fine.
00:32:42Then deliver a message.
00:32:44Tell the Wolf King
00:32:45I'll be back every single day
00:32:46until he agrees to see me.
00:32:48And tell him
00:32:48my Master meant no disrespect.
00:32:51The whole ceremony
00:32:52was derailed
00:32:53by some idiot
00:32:53who barged in.
00:32:54Some idiot?
00:32:55Me?
00:32:56Who else?
00:32:57If you hadn't caused that scene,
00:32:59the Wolf King
00:32:59would have shown up
00:33:00and none of this
00:33:00would have happened.
00:33:01You owe Master Stone
00:33:02a damn apology.
00:33:04Victoria,
00:33:05take some advice.
00:33:06Don't go around
00:33:07blame people
00:33:07for things you don't understand.
00:33:10You might regret it one day.
00:33:11Regret?
00:33:12The only thing I regret
00:33:13was wasting my breath
00:33:14on a janitor.
00:33:15Pass along my message
00:33:17word for word.
00:33:18Let's go, Riley.
00:33:21You heard the General.
00:33:22Screw up the message
00:33:23and I'll come back
00:33:24and break both your legs.
00:33:27Every day
00:33:28until I agree to see her.
00:33:30She's already seen me.
00:33:31Just too dense
00:33:32to figure it out.
00:33:37Good.
00:33:38You showed up.
00:33:39I've got a job for you.
00:33:41Call it a trial run.
00:33:42Pull it off
00:33:43and I might reconsider
00:33:44the engagement.
00:33:46Really, Grandmother?
00:33:47Don't get your hopes up.
00:33:48Let me finish.
00:33:50Three years ago,
00:33:51the Kozlov syndicate
00:33:52grabbed one of our properties.
00:33:53Prime land
00:33:54worth a small fortune.
00:33:55Your grandfather
00:33:56couldn't get it back.
00:33:57Brandon couldn't either.
00:33:58If this nobody
00:33:58can talk Viktor Kozlov
00:34:00into handing it over,
00:34:01then maybe he's worth something.
00:34:02Mother, you can't be serious.
00:34:04Viktor Koznak
00:34:05is one of the most
00:34:06dangerous men alive.
00:34:07Drake walks in there,
00:34:08he's not coming back out.
00:34:09Exactly.
00:34:11He fails.
00:34:12He's useless.
00:34:14Engagement's dead
00:34:15in the water.
00:34:17A piece of land?
00:34:19That's your test?
00:34:20A piece of land?
00:34:22Boy, Viktor Kozlov
00:34:23could squash you
00:34:24like a bug
00:34:25with his pinky.
00:34:26Don't let your mouth
00:34:27write jerks
00:34:28your body can't cash.
00:34:31Selina, relax.
00:34:32I'll get the land back.
00:34:34Drake,
00:34:35the Kozlovs are dangerous.
00:34:36Dimitri alone
00:34:37is bad enough.
00:34:38His father is
00:34:38ten times worse.
00:34:39Promise me
00:34:40you'll be careful.
00:34:42Trust me.
00:34:48Well, well.
00:34:50Look who crawled
00:34:51out of the gutter.
00:34:52The clown
00:34:53from the ceremony.
00:34:54You've got some nerve
00:34:55showing your face here.
00:34:58though I see
00:34:59you brought
00:35:00a little something
00:35:00for me.
00:35:01Miss Whitmore,
00:35:03you're even more
00:35:04stunning up close.
00:35:10Touch her
00:35:11and you lose the hand.
00:35:13You let go!
00:35:15You know who
00:35:16my father is?
00:35:17Viktor Kozlov!
00:35:18You're a dead man!
00:35:20Drake!
00:35:22You broke his finger!
00:35:23That's Viktor Kozlov's son!
00:35:25Drake,
00:35:27we need to go
00:35:27before his men show up.
00:35:30Tell your old man
00:35:31the Whitmore property.
00:35:34I want it back
00:35:35in 24 hours.
00:35:36If I have to come
00:35:37to him myself,
00:35:38it won't be
00:35:39just one finger.
00:35:45Ashford,
00:35:46you're dead!
00:35:47My father will peel
00:35:49the skin off your bones!
00:35:50You hear me?
00:35:51Dead!
00:35:52Dead!
00:35:55Hughes!
00:35:56You're crazy!
00:35:58You're beyond help!
00:35:59How dare you!
00:36:01Lord Bart
00:36:01is here in person
00:36:02and you trash
00:36:03still dare say
00:36:04his name like that.
00:36:05You're begging to die.
00:36:08You have a death wish!
00:36:12Calm down,
00:36:14Lord Bart!
00:36:14I know this loser
00:36:16made you mad
00:36:16by saying your name,
00:36:18but don't take it out
00:36:19on me!
00:36:20Hopeless!
00:36:21Don't work yourself up!
00:36:24I'll handle this right now.
00:36:26Take care of this trash
00:36:27for good.
00:36:28Idiot.
00:36:31Miss,
00:36:33Lord Bart's furious.
00:36:34Even young master
00:36:35Carl got hit.
00:36:37You have to stay
00:36:38away from Hughes.
00:36:39If you don't,
00:36:41you won't just
00:36:41miss out on the temple.
00:36:43Lord Bart might
00:36:44hold it against you too.
00:36:46Hughes,
00:36:47I tried to save you
00:36:49again and again.
00:36:51You're the one
00:36:52throwing your life away.
00:36:54I did everything
00:36:55I could.
00:36:56I have nothing
00:36:57to feel guilty about.
00:36:58From now on,
00:36:59what happens to you
00:37:00is none of my business.
00:37:03Lord Bart,
00:37:13Bart,
00:37:14branch master
00:37:15of the summoner's
00:37:15temple ballon branch.
00:37:17Greetings,
00:37:18Lord Hughes.
00:37:24Father!
00:37:25That bastard
00:37:26Drake Ashfield
00:37:27broke my finger.
00:37:28He said
00:37:29if you don't return
00:37:29the Whitmore land
00:37:30in 24 hours,
00:37:31he'll come back for more.
00:37:32You have to put him down!
00:37:34Drake Ashford?
00:37:35The disowned
00:37:36Ashford brat?
00:37:37Yes!
00:37:38A worthless nobody!
00:37:40He dared to threaten
00:37:41the Kozlov synthet!
00:37:43Father,
00:37:43give me the word!
00:37:44I'll bring you
00:37:45his head on a platter!
00:37:48You let a nobody
00:37:49break your finger
00:37:50and you come running
00:37:51to me?
00:37:53Pathetic.
00:37:54You carry the Kozlov name
00:37:55and you can't handle
00:37:57one man?
00:37:57You're an embarrassment.
00:37:59Father,
00:37:59that guy is unhinged.
00:38:00He's not normal.
00:38:02His grip alone...
00:38:03Enough.
00:38:03I'll handle this personally.
00:38:05Nobody threatens
00:38:06the Koglov synthet
00:38:07and gets away with it.
00:38:08Set up a meeting.
00:38:09Tell Drake Ashford
00:38:10if he wants the land,
00:38:11he comes to me himself.
00:38:12Tonight,
00:38:13the Eastern Warehouse.
00:38:14Yes, Father.
00:38:15I'll have 50 men waiting.
00:38:17He walks in,
00:38:18he doesn't walk out.
00:38:22Selina,
00:38:23you have to stop him.
00:38:25Victor Kozlov
00:38:26doesn't play games.
00:38:27Drake broke
00:38:28his son's finger.
00:38:29That's not something
00:38:30the old man let slide.
00:38:31I know,
00:38:32but Drake told me
00:38:33to trust him.
00:38:34Every time I've doubted him,
00:38:35he's proven me wrong.
00:38:36Okay,
00:38:37I have to ask.
00:38:37Don't you think
00:38:38Drake's a little off?
00:38:40At the ceremony,
00:38:40Marcus Stone smacked
00:38:41Brandon for running his mouth
00:38:42but didn't say a word
00:38:44to Drake.
00:38:44In the Wolf King's estate,
00:38:45Drake lives there.
00:38:46That doesn't strike you
00:38:47as weird.
00:38:48What are you getting at?
00:38:49I'm saying,
00:38:51what if Drake
00:38:52isn't who everybody
00:38:53thinks he is?
00:38:54What if there's more
00:38:55to him than meets the eye?
00:38:58It's Drake.
00:39:01Selina,
00:39:02Victor wants to meet tonight,
00:39:03the Eastern Warehouse.
00:39:05I'm going.
00:39:06Drake,
00:39:07it's a trap.
00:39:08He'll have men waiting.
00:39:09I know,
00:39:10don't worry.
00:39:10I'll have your land deed
00:39:11back by midnight.
00:39:16I'm going with him.
00:39:19Then I'm coming too.
00:39:21If things go sideways,
00:39:22at least someone
00:39:23can call for backup.
00:39:28Shut your mouth!
00:39:29You have no idea
00:39:30who this man is!
00:39:31He is the Warden
00:39:32of the Abyss!
00:39:32I spent three years
00:39:33in that hell
00:39:34and this man owned
00:39:35every inch of it!
00:39:36Every single day,
00:39:37my life was in his hands!
00:39:38The Abyss?
00:39:40The world's most
00:39:40terrifying prison?
00:39:41Father,
00:39:42you were in there?
00:39:43Yes!
00:39:44And this man
00:39:45could have ended me
00:39:46a thousand times over!
00:39:47He spared my life!
00:39:49He spared me!
00:39:51And you?
00:39:52You stole his fiancée's
00:39:54family land
00:39:54and tried to lay
00:39:55hands on her!
00:39:58You useless,
00:40:00brainless brat!
00:40:01You nearly got
00:40:02our whole family
00:40:02wiped!
00:40:03Wiped off the map!
00:40:04Master,
00:40:05this worthless son
00:40:06of mine
00:40:07has insulted you
00:40:08and your lady.
00:40:09His fate is yours
00:40:10to decide.
00:40:10Whatever you command,
00:40:12even his head
00:40:12I will not object.
00:40:14I'm sorry!
00:40:16I didn't know!
00:40:17Please,
00:40:17please don't kill me!
00:40:19Kill you?
00:40:20Too easy.
00:40:21Victor,
00:40:21send him to the Abyss.
00:40:23Three years.
00:40:24Let him taste
00:40:25what you went through.
00:40:26No!
00:40:27Father,
00:40:27please!
00:40:27Not the Abyss!
00:40:28Anything but that!
00:40:29Shut up!
00:40:30This is the Master's mercy!
00:40:32He could have ended you
00:40:32right here!
00:40:33Take it!
00:40:34Now,
00:40:35the Whitmore land.
00:40:37Master,
00:40:38the land deed is here.
00:40:39I'll transfer ownership
00:40:40back immediately.
00:40:41All back taxes,
00:40:42development fees,
00:40:43everything covered
00:40:44by the Kozlov Syndicate.
00:40:45Please accept
00:40:46my deepest apologies.
00:40:47One more thing.
00:40:48The Whitmore family
00:40:49is under my protection.
00:40:51Anyone,
00:40:52anyone at all,
00:40:53so much as looks
00:40:54at them wrong,
00:40:55I'm coming for you.
00:40:57Understood!
00:40:58The Kozlov Syndicate
00:41:00will guard
00:41:01the Whitmore family
00:41:02with our very lives!
00:41:14Drake!
00:41:15Are you okay?
00:41:16Are you hurt?
00:41:17Not a mark.
00:41:17Here,
00:41:18your land deed.
00:41:19It's back in the Whitmore name.
00:41:20This,
00:41:21this is real?
00:41:21Victor Kozlov just
00:41:23handed it over?
00:41:24He also agreed
00:41:25to cover all the
00:41:26back taxes and fees.
00:41:27And from now on,
00:41:29the Kozlov Syndicate
00:41:30answers to the Whitmoms.
00:41:32How,
00:41:33how is that possible?
00:41:35Victor Kozlov,
00:41:37the most feared man
00:41:38in the city,
00:41:38just handed everything over?
00:41:40In ten minutes?
00:41:42Who the hell
00:41:43is Drake Ashfield?
00:41:44He walked into the
00:41:45Lion's Den alone
00:41:46and came out
00:41:46with everything.
00:41:47Victor wasn't just beat,
00:41:49he was scared.
00:41:50But scared of what?
00:41:52Unless Drake
00:41:53isn't who everyone
00:41:54thinks he is.
00:41:55Unless he's someone
00:41:56far bigger.
00:41:58I don't know
00:41:59how you did it,
00:42:00but
00:42:01thank you,
00:42:02Drake.
00:42:04I told you.
00:42:06Trust me.
00:42:11Grandmother,
00:42:12the land deed.
00:42:13Victor Kozlov
00:42:14returned it
00:42:15every inch.
00:42:16He's also covering
00:42:17all back taxes
00:42:18and development fees.
00:42:19This,
00:42:19this is real?
00:42:21Victor Kozlov,
00:42:22that old shark,
00:42:23actually handed it over?
00:42:27Impossible!
00:42:28Your grandfather
00:42:29spent years
00:42:30to get this back.
00:42:30Brandon went himself
00:42:31three times
00:42:32and got tossed out
00:42:33every single time.
00:42:34How could he possibly...
00:42:36How did you do it?
00:42:37You said it was a test.
00:42:38I passed.
00:42:39That's all that matters.
00:42:41A deal's a deal.
00:42:42I said I'd accept you
00:42:43if you got the land back.
00:42:45So as of today,
00:42:46the engagement is on.
00:42:48Grandmother!
00:42:49Mother!
00:42:49You can't be serious!
00:42:51We don't even know
00:42:52what he did!
00:42:53If he made some
00:42:54back alley deal
00:42:55with Kozlov,
00:42:55what if he sold us out?
00:42:57Enough.
00:42:58I don't care how.
00:42:59I care about the result.
00:43:00Your grandfather
00:43:01couldn't do it.
00:43:02Brandon couldn't do it.
00:43:03He did it in one day.
00:43:05Don't get comfortable.
00:43:07The engagement
00:43:07stands
00:43:08for now.
00:43:10You still have
00:43:11more to prove.
00:43:13Fair enough.
00:43:17Lord Bart!
00:43:19The Wrynn family
00:43:20has served you
00:43:21loyally for years!
00:43:22Please,
00:43:23for old times' sake,
00:43:24spare the Wrynn family!
00:43:29Patriarch Bernard,
00:43:31look at you groveling
00:43:32like this.
00:43:34Quite the change
00:43:35from how your son
00:43:35was strutting around
00:43:36like he owned the place
00:43:37just a minute ago.
00:43:39My lord.
00:43:49Father!
00:43:50What are you doing?
00:43:51You little beast!
00:43:52Bow down to Lord Hughes
00:43:54and apologize!
00:44:00Don't.
00:44:01I can't bear his apology.
00:44:07Just a few minutes ago,
00:44:09your precious son
00:44:10was bragging to me
00:44:11about how powerful
00:44:12he and the Wrynn family are.
00:44:14Said he and all the big shops
00:44:15in Valen
00:44:16could sentence me to death
00:44:17in the name of
00:44:18every great house
00:44:19in the city.
00:44:22Sentence him to death!
00:44:24The Wrynn family
00:44:25really is something,
00:44:26aren't you?
00:44:27Daring to sentence
00:44:28Lord Hughes to death!
00:44:35Master,
00:44:35got something for you.
00:44:37Go ahead.
00:44:38Victoria's been at the gate
00:44:38every day,
00:44:39just like she promised.
00:44:40Today was day three.
00:44:41Two hours on her knees,
00:44:42then she leaves.
00:44:43Still thinks you're the help.
00:44:45Persistence.
00:44:46That's one thing
00:44:47I can respect about her.
00:44:48There's more, Master.
00:44:50She's been digging
00:44:50into the abyss.
00:44:51Digging into what,
00:44:53exactly?
00:44:53She's trying to uncover
00:44:54the Wolf King's real identity.
00:44:56Sent Riley to go through
00:44:57the prison records.
00:44:58So far, nothing.
00:44:59You've got those files
00:45:00sealed tight,
00:45:01but she's circling.
00:45:03Asking about a warden
00:45:04who left three years ago.
00:45:05Let her dig.
00:45:06She won't find
00:45:07what I don't want her to see.
00:45:08With respect, Master.
00:45:10If she keeps pushing,
00:45:12she might connect the dots.
00:45:13Especially after the ceremony.
00:45:15She saw me hesitate
00:45:16before you.
00:45:17She's not stupid.
00:45:18She figures it out
00:45:19on her own.
00:45:20That's her ability.
00:45:21But she won't.
00:45:22Not yet.
00:45:23Her arrogance
00:45:23is a blindfold.
00:45:25She's so sure
00:45:26I'm beneath her
00:45:27she could trip over
00:45:27the truth
00:45:28and still call it a rock.
00:45:29One more thing, Master.
00:45:31Brandon Howell's been
00:45:32meeting with Helen Whitman.
00:45:33Frequently.
00:45:33I think they're cooking
00:45:34something up.
00:45:35Aimed at Selene.
00:45:36And at you.
00:45:37Brandon,
00:45:38he never learns.
00:45:39Want me to shut it down?
00:45:40No.
00:45:42Let them make
00:45:42their move first.
00:45:44I want to see
00:45:45how deep
00:45:45they're willing
00:45:46to bury themselves.
00:45:52Chloe,
00:45:53black or navy?
00:45:54Selene,
00:45:55forget the dress.
00:45:56The real question is,
00:45:58is Drake even ready
00:45:59for this?
00:46:00There's a whole
00:46:01donation segment
00:46:02at the gala.
00:46:02Every big name's
00:46:04going to bring
00:46:04something to the table.
00:46:05What's he got?
00:46:06A mop?
00:46:11I thought about that too.
00:46:13I offered to help
00:46:14him prep something.
00:46:15He just said,
00:46:15don't worry about it.
00:46:16Don't worry about it?
00:46:18Selene,
00:46:18the greys,
00:46:19the hails,
00:46:20the crosses,
00:46:20they'll all be there.
00:46:21If Drake walks
00:46:22in empty-handed,
00:46:23Grandmother will lose
00:46:24face in front of everyone.
00:46:25And Helen?
00:46:26She'll use it
00:46:27to bury him alive.
00:46:28I know Helen's
00:46:29planning something.
00:46:31Her and Brandon
00:46:32have been whispering
00:46:32for days.
00:46:34Every time I walk
00:46:35past,
00:46:35they clam up.
00:46:36Selene,
00:46:37listen to me.
00:46:37I've been thinking
00:46:38a lot about Drake lately.
00:46:40Viktor Kozlov,
00:46:41the most dangerous man
00:46:42in this city,
00:46:42knelt to him.
00:46:43I saw it with my own eyes.
00:46:44Whatever Drake is,
00:46:45he's not nobody.
00:46:46But if he doesn't show
00:46:47his cards at that gala,
00:46:48Helen and Brandon
00:46:49are going to eat him
00:46:50for breakfast.
00:46:51I know.
00:46:52But every time
00:46:53I try to help Drake,
00:46:54he says the same thing.
00:46:55Trust me.
00:46:56And every single time,
00:46:57he's been right.
00:46:58Then maybe it's time
00:47:00you actually trusted him.
00:47:01Wear the black one.
00:47:02That's way hotter.
00:47:05Brandon,
00:47:06tell me everything's locked in.
00:47:07The auction line-up,
00:47:09the seating,
00:47:10all of it.
00:47:11Locked,
00:47:11sealed,
00:47:12and delivered.
00:47:13Drake's planted front and center
00:47:14right next to the main stage.
00:47:16When the donation segment hits,
00:47:17every eye in the room's
00:47:18going to be on it.
00:47:19And I made sure the MIR
00:47:20calls out the Whitmore family
00:47:22rep by name.
00:47:23No hiding,
00:47:23no excuses.
00:47:25Good.
00:47:26And Victoria Cross?
00:47:28Confirmed.
00:47:28I had a little bird whisper
00:47:30that the Wolf King
00:47:31might grace the gala
00:47:32with his presence.
00:47:33She'll be there,
00:47:35watching like a hawk.
00:47:36When Drake embarrass himself,
00:47:38she gets a front row seat
00:47:40to exactly what he is.
00:47:42Perfect.
00:47:43After tomorrow night,
00:47:45Mother won't have a choice.
00:47:46She'll have to kill the engagement.
00:47:49Drake Ashford?
00:47:50Done.
00:47:55Master,
00:47:56the charity gala's
00:47:57tomorrow night.
00:47:57I've confirmed.
00:47:58Brandon and Helen
00:47:59have set a trap.
00:48:00The donation portion
00:48:01is where they'll hit you.
00:48:02They're banking on you
00:48:03walking in with nothing
00:48:04and getting torn apart
00:48:05in front of every major family
00:48:06in the city.
00:48:07Let me guess.
00:48:09Victoria Cross
00:48:09is on the guest list too?
00:48:11Yes.
00:48:12Someone leaked
00:48:13that the Wolf King
00:48:14might appear.
00:48:15She'll be there,
00:48:16watching like a hawk.
00:48:17Brandon gives himself
00:48:17way too much credit.
00:48:19He's got Helen
00:48:20feeding him intel,
00:48:21Victoria swinging
00:48:21the big stick
00:48:22and the whole gala
00:48:22as his little showcase.
00:48:24Cute for an amateur.
00:48:26Master,
00:48:26say the word
00:48:27and I'll shut it down.
00:48:29One call
00:48:29and that gala
00:48:30never happens.
00:48:32No.
00:48:34I'm going.
00:48:35You're attending
00:48:36in person.
00:48:39Brandon wants
00:48:40to humiliate me.
00:48:41Victoria wants
00:48:42to find the Wolf King.
00:48:43Helen wants
00:48:44to kill the engagement.
00:48:45Everyone's got a plan
00:48:46for tomorrow night.
00:48:48Only fair,
00:48:49I have one too.
00:48:50The donation segment,
00:48:52they want me
00:48:52to give something,
00:48:53so I will.
00:48:54Marcus,
00:48:55contact Catherine
00:48:56Laurent at
00:48:56Sotheby's Geneva.
00:48:58Tell her the Wolf King
00:48:59is cashing in a favor.
00:49:00Catherine Laurent,
00:49:02director of private sales.
00:49:04She owes you two
00:49:05from the Lickenstein deal.
00:49:06What are you after?
00:49:07The Sovereign's Heart.
00:49:09Have it brought
00:49:10from the Zurich Bolt.
00:49:11The Sovereign's Heart.
00:49:13The 62 Krier
00:49:14of Habsburg crowned diamond.
00:49:16You picked it up
00:49:17three years ago
00:49:17for 38 million.
00:49:19You're donating that?
00:49:20It's been collecting dust
00:49:21in a vault for three years.
00:49:22The time it earned
00:49:23its keep.
00:49:24Have Catherine
00:49:25escort it personally.
00:49:27Full Sotheby's security,
00:49:28level five clearance,
00:49:29GII papers,
00:49:30the whole package.
00:49:31Yes, Master.
00:49:33Anything else?
00:49:34One more thing.
00:49:35I need a suit.
00:49:37Nothing flashy,
00:49:38clean,
00:49:39simple.
00:49:39But the cufflinks,
00:49:40the Wolf King
00:49:41and Cigna ones,
00:49:42the set only five people
00:49:43on Earth
00:49:43would recognize.
00:49:44You want Victoria
00:49:45to see the cufflinks?
00:49:47I want to give her
00:49:48a chance.
00:49:49If she's sharp enough
00:49:50to notice,
00:49:51she deserves the truth.
00:49:52If she's not,
00:49:53that's on her.
00:49:59Lord Hughes,
00:50:00that can't be
00:50:00a serious request.
00:50:01Yeah, my lord,
00:50:03that's a pretty bad joke.
00:50:05You had no problem
00:50:06sentencing me to death,
00:50:07did you?
00:50:09What's so hard
00:50:10when sentencing yourselves?
00:50:11My lord,
00:50:12that was all a mistake.
00:50:13We'll pay you anything,
00:50:14everything we have,
00:50:15but asking us to die,
00:50:16that's too far.
00:50:18What if I
00:50:20insist?
00:50:21Hughes!
00:50:22Everyone here
00:50:23is the backbone of Valon.
00:50:25If you kill us,
00:50:26you'll tear the whole city apart.
00:50:28You think you can handle that?
00:50:33So be it.
00:50:35You're going too far.
00:50:37You think we won't
00:50:38take you down with us?
00:50:42Dare you!
00:50:44Lord Bart,
00:50:45I know he's your guest,
00:50:47but if you're gonna kill us
00:50:48and destroy Valon
00:50:49in the process,
00:50:50I won't stand for it!
00:50:55Welcome, welcome.
00:50:57So glad you could make it.
00:50:58Enjoy yourselves tonight.
00:51:03General Cross!
00:51:04An honor, truly.
00:51:06I've got you front row,
00:51:07best seat in the house.
00:51:08Brandon,
00:51:09I didn't come for the champagne.
00:51:11You said the Wolf King
00:51:12might show.
00:51:13Is that real,
00:51:13or are you just filling seats?
00:51:15I can't confirm anything,
00:51:16General,
00:51:16but my sources say
00:51:17someone very close
00:51:18to the Wolf King
00:51:19will be in attendance tonight.
00:51:20Someone important.
00:51:20important how.
00:51:22I'll leave for you to judge.
00:51:23Just keep your eyes open
00:51:24tonight, General.
00:51:30He's here.
00:51:31Basic suit,
00:51:32no bling,
00:51:33just as we figured.
00:51:34A beggar at a king's table.
00:51:36Perfect.
00:51:36Let him get comfortable.
00:51:38Donation sections
00:51:39when we strike.
00:51:45Drake Ashford?
00:51:46What's he doing here?
00:51:47And why is he front and center?
00:51:48Drake,
00:51:49everyone is staring at us.
00:51:52Let him look.
00:51:55Ladies and gentlemen,
00:51:57welcome to the Whitmore Group
00:51:58annual charity gala.
00:51:59Tonight,
00:52:00we celebrate generosity,
00:52:02community,
00:52:02and the spirit of giving.
00:52:04Later this evening,
00:52:05we'll move to our donation section,
00:52:06and I hear this year's offerings
00:52:07will be nothing short
00:52:08of spectacular.
00:52:10Enjoy your last night, Ashford.
00:52:12One hour from now,
00:52:13you're done.
00:52:20Hold it!
00:52:21I've got a question
00:52:22for Mr. Ashford!
00:52:23Drake,
00:52:24stunning donation indeed,
00:52:26but I think everyone here
00:52:27deserves to know.
00:52:27How does a guy with no job,
00:52:29no family name,
00:52:30and no assets
00:52:30get his hands on a
00:52:3138 million dollar
00:52:32Habsburg diamond?
00:52:33He's got a point.
00:52:35Where'd that diamond
00:52:36really come from?
00:52:37So let me ask the question
00:52:38everyone's dying to ask.
00:52:40Drake Ashford,
00:52:41did you steal it,
00:52:42or did someone hand it to you
00:52:43in exchange for something
00:52:44we don't know about?
00:52:45Brandon, that's enough!
00:52:46Sotheby sent their own director
00:52:48with full authentication!
00:52:49How dare you!
00:52:49Selina, I'm just looking out
00:52:51for your family.
00:52:51If that diamond's got a dirty past,
00:52:53the Whittam name gets dragged
00:52:54through the mud right along with it.
00:52:56You want to know
00:52:56where the diamond came from?
00:52:58I bought it.
00:52:58Three years ago.
00:52:59Five at Sotheby's auction
00:53:00in Geneva.
00:53:0138 million.
00:53:02Cash.
00:53:06You bought it?
00:53:0738 million?
00:53:08Drake Ashford,
00:53:09the man who can't afford
00:53:10a decent suit
00:53:11dropped 38 million
00:53:12on a diamond?
00:53:13Do you take us for fools?
00:53:14Mr. Hale,
00:53:15since you seem to struggle
00:53:16with facts,
00:53:16let me clarify.

00:55:14As tradition demands,
00:55:16each family representative
00:55:17will present their gift.
00:55:18Let's kick things off.
00:55:20First up,
00:55:21the Greys,
00:55:22represented tonight
00:55:23by Mr. Jonathan Gray.
00:55:26The Greys are proud to donate
00:55:28an original Alexander Voss oil
00:55:30valued at $3 million
00:55:32for the children.

00:55:55Let's see our Whitmore representative
00:55:57top that.
00:55:58magnificent.
00:55:59Magnificent.
00:56:00And now,
00:56:00the Crosses,
00:56:01General Victoria Cross.
00:56:03The Cross family
00:56:04donates Storm Brand.
00:56:06Our ancestral blade,
00:56:08passed down for three generations.
00:56:11Priceless,
00:56:12but appraised tonight
00:56:13at $8 million.
00:56:16$8 million.
00:56:17The Cross family's
00:56:18generosity is unmatched.
00:56:22Thank you, General.
00:56:23And now,
00:56:24representing the Whitmounds tonight,
00:56:26please welcome
00:56:27Mr. Drake Ashford.
00:56:30Here we go.
00:56:34Drake.
00:56:35Watch.
00:56:53Look at him.
00:56:54Empty-handed.
00:56:55No box.
00:56:56No assistant.
00:56:57Nothing.
00:56:58He's done.
00:56:58Just wait.
00:56:59Let him dig his own grave.
00:57:01My donation's on its way.
00:57:02Give it a minute.
00:57:05On its way?
00:57:06Did he forget to pack it?
00:57:08This is embarrassing.
00:57:09The Whitmore family's
00:57:10representative can even
00:57:11prepare a donation in advance?
00:57:13Maybe someone should
00:57:14loan Drake a few bucks.
00:57:15At least he'd have something
00:57:16to put on the table.
00:57:21Mother,
00:57:21this is humiliating.
00:57:23The whole city's watching.
00:57:24Maybe we should...
00:57:27Is that...
00:57:28the Sotheby's seal?
00:57:30Sotheby's sent something here?
00:57:31For Drake Ashford?
00:57:36This...
00:57:37This is...
00:57:37the Sovereign's heart.
00:57:38A 62-cran deep blue diamond
00:57:40from the Habsburg Crown Collection.
00:57:42Lost for over a century.
00:57:43Resurfaced three years ago
00:57:45at a private Sotheby's auction
00:57:46in Geneva.
00:57:46Perched by an anonymous bidder
00:57:47for...
00:57:48$38 million.
00:57:56Hold it!
00:57:57I've got a question
00:57:58for Mr. Ashford!
00:57:59Drake.
00:58:00A stunning donation indeed.
00:58:01But I think everyone here
00:58:02deserves to know.

01:01:09Go ahead.
01:01:13Your cuff clinks.
01:01:14The wolf's head.
01:01:15Black tustanium.
01:01:16I've only seen that mark
01:01:17once before
01:01:18in my master's study.
01:01:19Stamped on a document
01:01:20bearing the wolf king's
01:01:21personal seal.
01:01:22That symbol belongs
01:01:23to one man in this world.
01:01:24And?
01:01:25Drake Ashfield,
01:01:26are you the wolf king?
01:01:27Let me ask you something first.
01:01:29If I said yes,
01:01:31what would you do about it?
01:01:32What do you mean?
01:01:33You tore up my invite
01:01:34in front of 300 people.
01:01:36You called me a clown.
01:01:37You said I'd never
01:01:38measure up to your world.
01:01:39You knelt at my gate
01:01:40for three nights
01:01:41and begged a janitor
01:01:42to deliver your messages.
01:01:43So if I really am
01:01:44the wolf king,
01:01:45how exactly do you plan
01:01:46to deal with that?
01:01:47You...
01:01:48You haven't answered
01:01:49my question.
01:01:51I'm not saying yes
01:01:52and I'm not saying no.
01:01:54Some answers
01:01:55you've got to find
01:01:55on your own,
01:01:56Victoria.
01:01:57Now get back in there.
01:01:59Night's not over.
01:02:00If he's the wolf king,
01:02:02then everything I said,
01:02:03everything I did,
01:02:04I called him a janitor
01:02:05to his face.
01:02:06I told him he was beneath me.
01:02:07I ripped up his invitation.
01:02:09I knelt at his gate
01:02:10and begged a janitor
01:02:11to let me in
01:02:12and all along
01:02:13he was standing right there
01:02:14watching me make
01:02:15a fool of myself.
01:02:17Please,
01:02:18don't let it be true.
01:02:24Drake,
01:02:25where'd you disappear to?
01:02:27I've been looking everywhere.
01:02:28Stepped out for some air.
01:02:30Nothing major.
01:02:31Drake,
01:02:31I owe you an apology.
01:02:32I was out of line earlier
01:02:33questioning that diamond
01:02:34like I did.
01:02:35Clearly,
01:02:36I underestimated you.
01:02:37Let me buy you a drink.
01:02:38Make it up to you.
01:02:39Brandon,
01:02:39drop the act.
01:02:41We both know
01:02:41what you were trying
01:02:42to pull tonight.
01:02:44I don't know
01:02:45what you mean.
01:02:46The seating,
01:02:48front and center
01:02:50so everyone
01:02:51could watch me
01:02:51crash and burst.
01:02:53The MRI calling my name
01:02:55right after
01:02:56Victoria's
01:02:56eight million dollar sword
01:02:58for maximum contrast.
01:03:00Next time you set a trap,
01:03:02make damn sure
01:03:03the mouse
01:03:03isn't actually a wolf.
01:03:06A wolf?
01:03:07Think you're a wolf?
01:03:09Fine.
01:03:10You won tonight,
01:03:11but I'll find out
01:03:12who's backing you
01:03:13and I'll tear them
01:03:14away from you
01:03:15one by one.
01:03:19Drake Ashford,
01:03:20the sovereign's heart,
01:03:2138 million,
01:03:22a Habsburg crown diamond.
01:03:24You are absolutely insane.
01:03:26I am officially
01:03:27your number one fan.
01:03:29Chloe,
01:03:30hands off my fiance.
01:03:31Selena,
01:03:32seriously,
01:03:33where did you find this man?
01:03:35Viktor Kozlov kneels to him.
01:03:37Sotheby's chairman
01:03:37writes him personal letters.
01:03:38He tosses Habsburg diamonds
01:03:40around like party gifts.
01:03:41What's next?
01:03:42The queen invites him to tea?
01:03:44Drake,
01:03:45tonight was incredible,
01:03:46but I know Brandon.
01:03:48He's not the type
01:03:49to admit defeat.
01:03:50Let him come.
01:03:51Every move he makes
01:03:53costs him more.
01:03:54By the time he's done,
01:03:55he won't have a leg
01:03:56to stand on.
01:03:58Drake Ashford,
01:03:59every day with you
01:04:00I realize how little
01:04:01I actually know.
01:04:02A 38 million dollar diamond.
01:04:05Sotheby's.
01:04:06Viktor Kozlov on his knees.
01:04:07Whatever you're hiding,
01:04:08I can wait
01:04:09until you're ready
01:04:10to let me in.
01:04:14General!
01:04:15There you are!
01:04:16You just vanished!
01:04:17I've been searching everywhere!
01:04:19Riley,
01:04:19change of plans.
01:04:21Call off the background check
01:04:22on Drake.
01:04:23What?
01:04:23But we barely started!
01:04:25I said drop it.
01:04:27I don't need it anymore.
01:04:29Get me a secure line
01:04:30to mark a stone up north.
01:04:32Encrypted.
01:04:33Now.
01:04:33Yes, General.
01:04:35May I ask why?
01:04:36Because if my gut's right,
01:04:37I just made the biggest
01:04:38mistake of my life.
01:04:40And I need Master Stone
01:04:41to give it to me straight
01:04:42before it's too late.
01:04:44Drake Ashfield,
01:04:45if you really are
01:04:46the Wolf King,
01:04:47then I don't just
01:04:48owe you an apology.
01:04:49I owe you everything.
01:04:58Mother, have you seen the news?
01:05:00The gala's everywhere.
01:05:01Every single headline's
01:05:02about Drake Ashford
01:05:03and that damn diamond.
01:05:05I've seen it.
01:05:06Look at these comments.
01:05:07Who is Drake Ashford?
01:05:08The mystery man
01:05:09behind the Sovereign's heart.
01:05:11Whitmore family's
01:05:12secret weapon.
01:05:13Mother, this is bad.
01:05:14The more press he gets,
01:05:15the harder he'll be to shake.
01:05:16Helen, last night
01:05:17at the gala,
01:05:17you and Brandon
01:05:18tried to humiliate Drake
01:05:19in front of the entire city.
01:05:21You assumed he'd walk
01:05:22in empty-handed.
01:05:23Instead, he produced
01:05:24a Sotheby's certified
01:05:25$38 million diamond.
01:05:27So tell me,
01:05:28who exactly got humiliated
01:05:29last night?
01:05:30Mother, I don't...
01:05:33Don't.
01:05:33I'm old,
01:05:34but I'm not senile.
01:05:36The seating chart,
01:05:37the Emma show's lineup,
01:05:38Brandon's little questions,
01:05:40all orchestrated,
01:05:41and it blew up
01:05:42in your face spectacularly.
01:05:44Mother, even if Drake
01:05:45has money and connections,
01:05:46that doesn't change
01:05:46who he is.
01:05:47He's still a nobody.
01:05:48The Ashford's threw him out.
01:05:49He was a prison guard
01:05:50for God's sake.
01:05:51Selina deserves better.
01:05:52Selina deserves what,
01:05:53exactly, Brandon Hale?
01:05:54A man who schemes
01:05:55behind people's backs
01:05:56and can't even scheme right?
01:06:02Helen, I'll level with you.
01:06:05I still don't fully trust Drake.
01:06:07I don't know where
01:06:08his money comes from.
01:06:09I don't know who
01:06:09he's connected to.
01:06:10But after last night,
01:06:12one thing is crystal clear.
01:06:14What?
01:06:14He is not who he appears to be.
01:06:18And until I figure out
01:06:20exactly what he is,
01:06:22nobody in this family
01:06:23lays a finger on him.
01:06:25Not you,
01:06:25not Brandon.
01:06:26Are we clear?
01:06:28Yes, Mother.
01:06:37Mother, have you seen the news?
01:06:39The gala's everywhere.
01:06:39Every single headline's
01:06:41about Drake Ashford
01:06:42and that damn diamond.
01:06:43I've seen it.
01:06:44Look at these comments.
01:06:46Who is Drake Ashford?
01:06:47The mystery man

01:06:49Whitmore family's secret weapon.
01:06:51Mother, this is bad.
01:06:52The more press he gets,
01:06:53the harder he'll be to shake.
01:06:54Helen, last night at the gala,

01:07:02Instead, he produced
01:07:03a Sotheby's certified
01:07:04$38 million diamond.
01:07:05So tell me,
01:07:06who exactly got humiliated
01:07:08last night?
01:07:09Mother, I, I, I don't...
01:07:11Don't.
01:07:12I'm old,
01:07:13but I'm not senile.
01:07:14The seating chart,
01:07:15the Emma show's line-up,
01:07:17Brandon's little questions,
01:07:18all orchestrated,
01:07:19and it blew up
01:07:20in your face spectacularly.
01:07:22Mother, even if Drake
01:07:23has money and connections,
01:07:24that doesn't change
01:07:25who he is.
01:07:26He's still a nobody.

01:07:28He was a prison guard,
01:07:29for God's sake.
01:07:29Selina deserves better.
01:07:30Selina deserves what,
01:07:31exactly?
01:07:32Brandon Hale?
01:07:33A man who schemes
01:07:34behind people's backs
01:07:35and can't even scheme right?
01:07:41Helen, I'll level with you.
01:07:43I still don't fully trust Drake.
01:07:46I don't know where
01:07:46his money comes from.
01:07:47I don't know who
01:07:48he's connected to.
01:07:49But after last night,
01:07:50one thing is crystal clear.
01:07:52What?
01:07:53He is not who
01:07:54he appears to be.
01:07:57And until I figure out
01:07:58exactly what he is,
01:08:00nobody in this family
01:08:02lays a finger on him.
01:08:03not you,
01:08:04not Brandon.
01:08:05Are we clear?
01:08:07Yes, mother.
01:08:10James,
01:08:11what did you dig up?
01:08:13Sir, I ran a full background
01:08:14check on Drake Ashford
01:08:15like you asked,
01:08:16and the results,
01:08:16they're weird.
01:08:17Weird how?
01:08:18His file is practically empty.
01:08:20Born Ashfield,
01:08:21kicked out at 18,
01:08:22and then nothing.
01:08:23No job history,
01:08:24no tax records,
01:08:25no property,
01:08:26no bank accounts
01:08:27under his name.
01:08:28It's like he dropped
01:08:29off the face of the earth
01:08:30for the last decade.
01:08:31That's not possible.
01:08:32A guy who drops
01:08:3338 million on a diamond
01:08:34doesn't leave zero footprint.
01:08:36That's what I figured, sir.
01:08:36So I pushed harder,
01:08:37found one lead,
01:08:38and only one.
01:08:39Three years ago,
01:08:40Sotheby's Jerva,
01:08:41private auction.
01:08:41The buyer of the Sovereign's Heart
01:08:42was listed as D. Ashford.
01:08:44Payment went through
01:08:44a shell company
01:08:45registered in Lieberstein.
01:08:46Sealed by court order.
01:08:49Who has that kind of pull?
01:08:51Sir, I tried every angle.
01:08:52Every door I eye
01:08:53knocked on
01:08:54got shut in my face.
01:08:55Lieberstein government,
01:08:56Sotheby's,
01:08:57the banks,
01:08:57all of them clammed up.
01:08:58One contact in Geneva
01:09:00told me off the record
01:09:01that shell company
01:09:02is tied to someone
01:09:02with serious weight,
01:09:04someone who operates
01:09:04above government pay form.
01:09:08Above government pay grade.
01:09:10There's more, sir.
01:09:11I cross-referenced
01:09:12Drake's timeline
01:09:13with known events.
01:09:14After he got the boot
01:09:15from the Ashfords,
01:09:15the only place he's confirmed
01:09:16to have been
01:09:17is a facility called
01:09:18The Abyss.
01:09:19The Abyss?
01:09:20That maximum security hellhole?
01:09:22Yes, sir.
01:09:23But here's the kicker.
01:09:24He wasn't locked up.
01:09:25He was listed as staff,
01:09:27warden,
01:09:27except his clearance level
01:09:28and rank in the system,
01:09:30redacted,
01:09:30completely blacked out.
01:09:31I've never seen anything like it.
01:09:33Even the prison director's
01:09:34records are wide open.
01:09:35His clearance is higher
01:09:36than the director's?
01:09:37That's what it looks like, sir.
01:09:39No records,
01:09:40a sealed shell company,
01:09:41ties to Sotheby's chairman,
01:09:43Victor Kozlov on his knees,
01:09:44living in the Wolf King's estate,
01:09:46and a clearance level
01:09:47that outranks the prison director.
01:09:48James,
01:09:49who does that point to?
01:09:51Sir,
01:09:51I don't want to jump
01:09:52to conclusions, but...
01:09:53Spit it out.
01:09:54The only name
01:09:55that fits every single piece
01:09:57of that puzzle
01:09:57is the Wolf King himself.
01:10:01The Wolf King?
01:10:03Drake Ashford
01:10:04that kicked out
01:10:05washed up failure
01:10:06as the Wolf King?
01:10:06Give me a break.
01:10:07Sir,
01:10:08I'm just giving you
01:10:09the facts as they landed.
01:10:11Your facts are garbage,
01:10:12or you're missing
01:10:13half the picture.
01:10:14Drake's not the Wolf King,
01:10:15he can't be.
01:10:16Someone big
01:10:16is pulling strings behind him,
01:10:18that's the only play
01:10:18that makes sense.
01:10:19I don't want theories,
01:10:20I want a name.
01:10:21Find me that backer.
01:10:23Yes, sir.
01:10:23The Wolf King?
01:10:25No, no way.
01:10:26Drake Ashford
01:10:27is nobody.
01:10:28He has to be,
01:10:29because if he isn't,
01:10:31then I've been trying
01:10:32to bury the most
01:10:32dangerous man
01:10:33on the planet,
01:10:34and that means
01:10:35I'm a dead man walking.
01:10:36I just haven't
01:10:37stopped breathing yet.
01:10:41Master,
01:10:42I've got updates
01:10:42on three fronts.
01:10:44Lay them on me.
01:10:45First,
01:10:45Victoria Cross
01:10:46came to see you
01:10:46this morning.
01:10:47My sources say
01:10:47left the estate
01:10:48in a completely
01:10:48different headspace
01:10:49than when she arrived.
01:10:50She hasn't breathed
01:10:51the word to Riley
01:10:51or anyone else
01:10:52about your identity.
01:10:53She's keeping her word.
01:10:54Good.
01:10:54She's not dumb,
01:10:55just a little slow
01:10:56on the uptake.
01:10:57Second,
01:10:58Brandon Hale
01:10:58hired a P.I.
01:10:59to dig into your past.
01:11:00The guy's sharp.
01:11:01He's already turned up
01:11:02the Lichtenstein Shell Company
01:11:03and your Arbis records.
01:11:04The files are sealed,
01:11:06but he flagged
01:11:06the blacked out
01:11:07clearance level.
01:11:08Did Brandon
01:11:08connect the dots?
01:11:10His investigator
01:11:11floated the possibility
01:11:12that you're
01:11:12the Wolf King.
01:11:13Brandon shot it down.
01:11:15He's convinced
01:11:15someone powerful
01:11:16is pulling strings
01:11:17for you.
01:11:18He can't wrap his head
01:11:19around you being
01:11:20the source
01:11:20of that power yourself.
01:11:22Of course he can't.
01:11:23Guys like Brandon
01:11:24can never imagine
01:11:25the person they look down
01:11:26of as the one
01:11:27standing above them.
01:11:28Let him keep digging.
01:11:29The more he scratches
01:11:30the surface,
01:11:31the deeper a hole
01:11:32he's digging for himself.
01:11:33Understood.
01:11:34Third,
01:11:35the Ashford family
01:11:36annual gathering
01:11:37is in five days.
01:11:38Your brother Edward's
01:11:39been telling everyone
01:11:40he's about to be named
01:11:40the new Ashford heir.
01:11:42He's also been spreading
01:11:43rumors that you were
01:11:43kicked out for criminal
01:11:44behavior and that you're
01:11:46a stain on the family name.
01:11:47Edward.
01:11:49Ten years and the guy
01:11:50still can't stop
01:11:51running his mouth about me.
01:11:52The Widmolds got an invite
01:11:53to the gathering.
01:11:54If you go with Selene
01:11:55you'll be face to face
01:11:56with Edward and the
01:11:57whole Ashfield clan.
01:11:58Could get messy.
01:12:00Messy?
01:12:01No.
01:12:02It's simple.
01:12:03Edward wants to be
01:12:03the Ashford heir.
01:12:04Let him have his moment
01:12:05in the sun.
01:12:06I'll show up as Selene's
01:12:07plus son.
01:12:07As a nobody.
01:12:08As the guy the Ashford's
01:12:10threw through to the curb.
01:12:11And when Edward provokes you
01:12:12then I'll remind him
01:12:13why father picked me first.
01:12:25That dress?
01:12:26Is that a Vivian Lawrence?
01:12:28Has to be.
01:12:29Look at the stitching.
01:12:30That thing's worth more
01:12:31than most people's mortgages.
01:12:32Drake.
01:12:33Everyone's staring.
01:12:34Good.
01:12:35You're the best looking
01:12:36woman in this city tonight.
01:12:38And they all know it.
01:12:40Invitation please.
01:12:43Mr. Drake Ashfield?
01:12:45Any problem?
01:12:47No sir.
01:12:47Please come in.
01:12:53Drake?
01:12:54He actually showed?
01:12:55That piece of trash
01:12:56the family throw out
01:12:58has the nerve
01:12:58to walk through these doors?
01:13:00Right on time.
01:13:01Stick to the plan.
01:13:02Let him sit down
01:13:02get comfortable.
01:13:03We drop the bomb
01:13:04during the announcements.
01:13:05I know the drill.
01:13:08The back corner?
01:13:10Next to the kitchen door?
01:13:11They did this on purpose.
01:13:13Of course they are.
01:13:14Don't stress
01:13:15we won't be sitting here long.
01:13:16Mr. Ashford
01:13:17I've been asked to inform you
01:13:19this table is designated
01:13:20for junior family affiliates
01:13:21if you'd prefer a different...

01:13:23but bring me your best bottle
01:13:25the 82 Marguet
01:13:26if you have it.
01:13:27Sir, the 82 Marguet
01:13:29is reserved for the head table.
01:13:30Then unreserve it.
01:13:35You just hijacked
01:13:36Edward's prize wine.
01:13:39It was never his
01:13:40to begin with.
01:13:51That dress?
01:13:52Is that a Vivian Lawrence?
01:13:54Has to be.

01:14:44I've been asked to inform you
01:14:45this table is designated
01:14:46for junior family affiliates.
01:14:48If you'd prefer a different...

01:15:05It was never his to begin with.
01:15:14Ladies and gentlemen,
01:15:16welcome to the Ashford family
01:15:18annual gathering.
01:15:19Tonight is a very special evening
01:15:21because we have a historic
01:15:23announcement to make.
01:15:24Please welcome to the stage
01:15:26Mr. Edward Ashford!
01:15:34Thank you all for being here.
01:15:36The Ashford family
01:15:38has stood for over a century,
01:15:40built on vision,
01:15:41on strength,
01:15:42on legacy.
01:15:43And tonight,
01:15:44I have the honor of announcing
01:15:46the next chapter of that legacy.
01:15:48After careful deliberation
01:15:49by the family council
01:15:51and with the full endorsement
01:15:53of our board of directors,
01:15:54I am formally being named
01:15:56the heir
01:15:57and future patriarch
01:15:58of the Ashford family.
01:16:01For the past three years,
01:16:02I've led crown industries
01:16:04through some rough waters.
01:16:05Revenue dips,
01:16:06market shifts,
01:16:07cutthroat competition.
01:16:09I've faced them all head on.
01:16:11And tonight,
01:16:12I stand before you proof
01:16:13that the Ashford name
01:16:14isn't just surviving,
01:16:15it's thriving.
01:16:17Of course,
01:16:18to truly build the future,
01:16:20we must also acknowledge
01:16:21the past.
01:16:22My brother,
01:16:23shame upon our name.
01:16:25He was disowned.
01:16:26The family moved on.
01:16:29I bring this up
01:16:30not to dwell on old wounds,
01:16:32but to remind everyone.
01:16:34The Watford family
01:16:36does not tolerate weakness,
01:16:38does not tolerate failure,
01:16:39and it certainly does not tolerate
01:16:41those who forget their place.
01:16:44Drake,
01:16:44he's talking about you
01:16:46in front of the whole room.
01:16:47Let's get out of here.
01:16:48Leave?
01:16:49Now?
01:16:49the show's just getting warmed up.
01:16:54Speaking of the past,
01:16:56Drake,
01:16:57what a surprise.
01:16:59I didn't think you'd have the nerve
01:17:01to show your face tonight.
01:17:03Edward,
01:17:04nice speech,
01:17:05very practiced.
01:17:06Practiced?
01:17:07I don't need to practice, Drake.
01:17:09I've been running this family
01:17:10for three years
01:17:11while you've been, what,
01:17:12mopping floors somewhere?
01:17:15And this must be your fiancée?
01:17:17Selena Whitmore, is it?
01:17:18I hear the Whitmore family's been
01:17:21downsizing.
01:17:21Wouldn't match for a disaboned Ashford,
01:17:23wouldn't you say?
01:17:25Edward, you can come at me all you want,
01:17:27but you insult her one more time,
01:17:29and you're not walking out of this room tonight.
01:17:32Ha ha ha ha ha!
01:17:33Threatening me?
01:17:34In my house?
01:17:36Drake's, you haven't changed a bit.
01:17:38Still delusional.
01:17:39Still believing you matter.
01:17:40Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:41let me properly introduce
01:17:42my little brother,
01:17:43Drake Ashford.
01:17:45Disowned for refusing to play
01:17:46by the family rules.
01:17:48Vanished for a decade,
01:17:49accomplished exactly nothing.
01:17:50Now he graces our gathering tonight
01:17:51in a borrowed suit
01:17:52at the junior table,
01:17:54drinking wine he certainly didn't pay for.
01:17:56You done?
01:17:57Done?
01:17:58I'm just getting started.
01:18:00Father made the right call when he...
01:18:02Father didn't disown me, Edward.
01:18:06You did.
01:18:09What did you say?
01:18:11You heard me.
01:18:12Father's will named me as heir.
01:18:14You didn't like that.
01:18:15So you forged the family council vote,
01:18:17paid off Elder,
01:18:18and re-rode the succession.
01:18:19Then you spun it to everyone
01:18:21that I was disowned
01:18:22for criminal conduct.
01:18:23Am I getting warm?
01:18:25Lies!
01:18:26This is slander!
01:18:28You have no proof!
01:18:31No proof?
01:18:33No proof.
01:18:42That's Harold Webb!
01:18:44The Ashford family's legal guardian!
01:18:46Harold Webb hasn't set foot in public in five years.
01:18:48What's he doing here tonight?
01:18:49Ladies and gentlemen,
01:18:50forgive the injosian,
01:18:51I am Harold Webb.
01:18:53I served as personal attorney
01:18:55and legal guardian
01:18:55to the late Arthur Ashford,
01:18:57founder of Crown Industries.
01:18:58I am here tonight in an official capacity.
01:19:00Mr. Webb?
01:19:02Why?
01:19:03Why?
01:19:04Why are you here?
01:19:05Why are you here?
01:19:08For the past 10 years,
01:19:10I have held Arthur Ashford's
01:19:11true last will and testament in trust.
01:19:13The document was sealed
01:19:15at Arthur's explicit request
01:19:16to be opened only
01:19:17when the rightful heir
01:19:18returned to claim it.
01:19:23I can confirm
01:19:24that the document presented
01:19:25by Drake Ashfield tonight
01:19:27is authentic.
01:19:28It is Arthur Ashfield's original will.
01:19:30I notarized it personally,
01:19:31and I have kept a dupleted
01:19:33in my secure vault for 10 years.
01:19:36The will is straightforward.
01:19:38I quote,
01:19:39I designate my son Drake Ashfield
01:19:41as sole heir
01:19:41to the Ashford Family Estate
01:19:43Crown Corporations
01:19:44and all associated holdings.
01:19:45This decision is final
01:19:47and irrevable.
01:19:49End quote.
01:19:52No.
01:19:53No, this can't be right.
01:19:55Father chose me.
01:19:57The council voted.
01:19:58The council vote was a sham, Edward.
01:20:00I've known for years.
01:20:01Elder confession just confirmed
01:20:03what I already suspected.
01:20:04You forged the votes,
01:20:06bribed a council member,
01:20:07and stole your brother's birthright.
01:20:08In the eyes of the law
01:20:09and this family,
01:20:10you were never the legitimate heir.
01:20:12Drake,
01:20:12your father asked me
01:20:14to give you a message
01:20:15for when this day came.
01:20:17He said,
01:20:17tell my son I'm sorry
01:20:19I wasn't strong enough
01:20:20to protect him
01:20:21while I was alive,
01:20:22but I made sure the truth
01:20:23would be waiting for him.
01:20:25Thank you, Mr. Webb.
01:20:37Going somewhere, Brandon?
01:20:40Victoria, I was just...
01:20:42You orchestrated this whole night.
01:20:44You baited Drake
01:20:45to the Ashford gathering
01:20:46so Edward could tear him down
01:20:47in public.
01:20:48You fed me that intel
01:20:49about the Wolf King
01:20:50to turn me into your pot,
01:20:51and now that your little scheme
01:20:53has blown up in your face,
01:20:54you're cutting and running.
01:20:56Victoria, I have no idea
01:20:57what you're talking about.
01:20:59Let me be crystal clear, Brandon.
01:21:01You ever try to use me again,
01:21:03for anything,
01:21:04I will put you down.
01:21:05Not your career reputation,
01:21:07you.
01:21:08Do we understand each other?
01:21:10Yes.
01:21:12Understood.
01:21:17It's over.
01:21:18Edward's done.
01:21:19The Ashfords are toast.
01:21:21And Victoria,
01:21:22she's holding something back.
01:21:23The way she looked at me,
01:21:25she knows something about Drake,
01:21:27something I don't.
01:21:35That's Harold Webb,
01:21:36the Ashford family's legal guardian.
01:21:38Harold Webb hasn't set foot
01:21:39in public in five years.
01:21:40What's he doing here tonight?
