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 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. You're
00:04:58just 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? Who do you think you are?
00:05:06Lord 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.
00:05:40A 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.
00:05:56Sign 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. Next to the Federation's youngest general, he's not
00:06:24even the dirt under your boots.
00:06:25Is this woman insane? Breaking off an engagement with the warden himself?
00:06:31Unbelievable. Poor choice. You're calling off the engagement?
00:06:35What, that surprises you? Hard to swallow?
00:06:38I know this must be a bitter pill. But let's not kid ourselves. Eagles don't roost with sparrows.
00:06:43I'm the youngest general in Federation history. I trained under the most formidable warrior alive, Marcus Stone, Grand Master of
00:06:51the Order.
00:06:51Marcus Stone's disciple? That's interesting.
00:06:54At present, I hold the Federation's central command. Alone. And in time, I will take the Order's helm and drive
00:07:01this nation to the apex of global power.
00:07:03Global power's apex? That's a bit of a reach, don't you think?
00:07:08A sparrow would think an eagle flies too high. Your world ends at these walls. You could never fathom the
00:07:13heights 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.
00:07:22Can't argue with that. Not the same game.
00:07:24Good. You know your place. The kind of man I'd respect is either Solomon Gray, the richest man on the
00:07:29planet running a global empire, or my master, Marcus Stone, invincible at the helm of the Order.
00:07:33You? Even if I had the stomach for it, would you have the spine? He'd need ten lifetimes just to
00:07:38earn 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.
00:07:56One 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.
00:08:05No 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, next to the Federation's youngest general, he's not even the dirt under
00:08:27your boots.
00:08:28Is this woman insane? Breaking off an engagement with the warden himself?

00:10:04Bring it to me, and I'll do you three favors.
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. Let 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. You'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. What a curse.
00:10:44You!
00:10:45Enough. He'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.
00:10:51You and I are never going to happen.
00:10:52Drop the delusion and stay out of my way.
00:10:55Unless you enjoy being humiliated.
00:11:00General Cross, you chatted with this guy long enough. He must mean something to you.
00:11:05You took my brother, now I'm taking him. Surrender 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.
00:11:24This is all your fault.
00:11:26If anything happens to the General, I will end you myself.
00:11:29Phantom, don't you know who you're dealing with?
00:11:31She took down the Dreadlord alone.
00:11:33You dare attack her? You're dead.
00:11:35Ha! The 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!
00:11:51Oh, crap.
00:11:53It's him.
00:11:54I'm dead.
00:11:55Run. Now.
00:11:57You got lucky today.
00:11:58I'm in a good mood. I'll let you live.
00:12:00Don't ever cross me again.
00:12:04General!
00:12:05He booked it!
00:12:06The 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?
00:12:20Too 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.
00:12:32Get on your knees and thank her!
00:12:34Let it go.
00:12:34The 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.
00:12:51The Phantom, you son of a bitch.
00:12:53I'm sending someone to drag your ass back to the At-Bus.
00:12:55Add another ten years.
00:13:06Arca 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.
00:13:17Please give me a shot.
00:13:18Fine.
00:13:20You barely scrape by.
00:13:22Thank you, Master.
00:13:22The 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.
00:13:36The only one of its kind.
00:13:39Good.
00:13:39You 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.
00:13:49The 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.
00:14:28Grandfather already arranged my engagement.
00:14:31Drake Ash...
00:14:31Silence!
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 Hales are connected to Solomon Gray's empire.
00:14:49You should be grateful.
00:14:51Mother...
00:14:52Father made that engagement himself.
00:14:54We became...
00:14:55I 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.
00:15:29And a loser who can't even light a summonation arm 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.
00:15:45If 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.
00:16:07What a boast!
00:16:20Tear him apart, your arms!
00:16:33He's ruining the ceremony!
00:16:35He's ruining the ceremony!
00:16:46He's ruining the ceremony!
00:16:58He's ruining the ceremony!
00:17:00He's ruining the ceremony!
00:17:35He's ruining the ceremony!
00:17:40He's ruining the ceremony!
00:17:44He's ruining the ceremony!
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!
00:17:53Under my watch, this family's been thriving!
00:17:56Thriving?
00:17:57That's because I've been pulling strings behind the scenes.
00:18:01Without me, the Whitmosters would have been gobbled up ages ago.
00:18:04Lies!
00:18:05You expect me to believe this family owes everything to a nobody like you?
00:18:10Absolutely.
00:18:12Delusional!
00:18:13Get this man out of my sight!
00:18:16Presenting Mr. Brandon Hale!
00:18:18Brandon Hale.
00:18:19His 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.
00:18:25Looks like tonight's the night.
00:18:27Lady Whitmore, apologies for my tardiness.
00:18:30Not at all!
00:18:32The honor is all mine, Mr. Hale.
00:18:34I was just meeting with General Cross.
00:18:37Took a bit longer than expected.
00:18:39General Cross?
00:18:41The youngest general in Federation history?
00:18:44The very same.
00:18:44You 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.
00:18:58That's why I was late.
00:18:59Good heavens!
00:19:00An 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.
00:19:11If 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, a partnership agreement with Solomon Gray's corporation, worth 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, 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.
00:20:04I'm sure Drake's got something wonderful prepared too.
00:20:06True, right?
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!
00:20:44You 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, a 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!
00:21:40Brandon, don't project your limitations onto me.
00:21:44You're out of your league.
00:21:46Oh 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.
00:21:56Drake, 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?
00:22:09Yes, absolutely satisfied.
00:22:13Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:22:17Big 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 Selene marry me, it's yours.
00:22:34Brandon, you're serious?
00:22:36You'd really give this to us?
00:22:38Absolutely.
00:22:38The Hales have two.
00:22:40I'm happy to share one with the Whitmos.
00:22:46You, you're crazy!
00:22:48That invitation is a gesture of respect to General Cross, to Marcus Stone, and to the Wolf King himself!
00:22:55You're a dead man!
00:22:58Drake Ashfield, you've lost your mind.
00:23:02You deserve to die!
00:23:08Get the carriage!
00:23:09Now, to the ceremony!
00:23:14That bitch, Selene.
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, you'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?
00:23:46Point of no return?
00:23:47You're just scared I'll ruin your little shot at 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, and you're going to get yourself killed!
00:24:15My life?
00:24:24Right here.
00:24:26Let's see who dares try to take him.
00:24:32Drake, 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 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, let 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!
00:25:11You...
00:25:12Who dares forge a black card invitation?
00:25:20General Cross, what 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, I've prepared these three donations for your gala.
00:25:38I trust they're acceptable.
00:25:40Wait.
00:25:41Wait.
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, what's going on?
00:25:55Isn't it obvious?
00:25:57Drake Ashford, you shameless fraud!
00:25:59You tried to take credit for Marcus Stone's gifts.
00:26:03And that black card must be forged too!
00:26:12Ashford, you've crossed the line.
00:26:17Thank you all for attending the initiation ceremony of Grandmaster Marcus Stone, leader of the Order.
00:26:24The honor is ours, General Cross.
00:26:26To witness the Grandmaster take a master, truly, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
00:26:30On behalf of my father, Victorm Kozov, and the Kozov Syndicate, congratulations to Master Stone.
00:26:37If the Wolf King weren't in this city, none 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, don't bother calling for help.
00:26:52That must be Master Stone!
00:26:57Grandmaster, Victoria Kroos, at your service.
00:27:02All hail Grandmaster Stone!
00:27:07Well, well, look at that.
00:27:10Proper respect, not 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.
00:27:32Better deal with it.
00:27:34Drake, what 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, let 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, I'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, it's pointless.
00:28:06We are not, and will never be, from the same world.
00:28:10Victoria, you're flattering yourself.
00:28:11I'm not here for you.
00:28:13Arrogant prick!
00:28:14The General spares your life and you still run your mouth!
00:28:18General Cross!
00:28:19This lowlife disrespected you.
00:28:21Let me put him down!
00:28:23Please, 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 and she has to beg on your behalf.
00:28:31Pathetic.
00:28:32For Salima's sake, I'll let this slide.
00:28:34But know your place.
00:28:35Sit in the back.
00:28:36I'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, he'll tear that bastard limb from limb!
00:29:00Drake!
00:29:00Please, please, just come down!
00:29:03Off the throne.
00:29:05Or die.
00:29:18Grand Master, Victoria Cross at your service.
00:29:21All hail, Grand Master Stone!
00:29:33Serves 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!
00:29:54Relax.
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.
00:30:09Be reborn.
00:30:21Who do you think you are?
00:30:24Who do you think you are?
00:31:35It's Drake's fault! He ruined the ceremony and angered the Wolf King!
00:31:40Drake Ashfield destroyed Marcus Stone's ceremony!
00:31:45This bastard deserves to die!
00:31:47General, give the word! I'll drag him back myself!
00:31:51No. I gave him three favors. Consider this one used. Let him go.
00:31:56What matters now is getting the Wolf King to forgive Master Stone
00:31:59Master said the Wolf King lives at the Crown Estate
00:32:02We go there tonight and beg for his mercy
00:32:04Yes General
00:32:06Master called him Sir
00:32:09Sir, is everything alright?
00:32:11Why? There's gotta be a reason
00:32:14But no, it can't be what I'm thinking
00:32:16He's nobody
00:32:20Knew it
00:32:20Of course you'd end up mopping floors for a living
00:32:23Whatever, since you work here
00:32:25Is the Wolf King inside? I need to see him
00:32:27He's not available
00:32:28This isn't a game
00:32:30The Wolf King pulled the plug on my Master's Ceremony
00:32:32I need to speak with him
00:32:33Now, go tell him Victoria 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 I'll be back every single day until he agrees to see me
00:32:47And tell him my Master meant no disrespect
00:32:51The whole ceremony was derailed by some idiot who bodged in
00:32:54Some idiot?
00:32:55Me?
00:32:56Who else?
00:32:57If you hadn't caused that scene
00:32:58The Wolf King would have shown up and none of this would have happened
00:33:01You owe Master Stone a damn apology
00:33:03Victoria
00:33:05Take some advice
00:33:06Don't go around blaming people for things you don't understand
00:33:10You might regret it one day
00:33:11Regret?
00:33:12The only thing I regret was wasting my breath on 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 until I agree to see her
00:33:29She's already seen me
00:33:31She's too dense to figure it out
00:33:37Good
00:33:37You showed up
00:33:39I've got a job for you
00:33:40Call it a trial run
00:33:42Pull it off
00:33:43And I might reconsider the engagement
00:33:45Really, Grandmother?
00:33:47Don't get your hopes up
00:33:48Let me finish
00:33:50Three years ago
00:33:51The Kozlov syndicate grabbed one of our properties
00:33:53Prime land
00:33:53Worth a small fortune
00:33:55Your grandfather couldn't get it back
00:33:56Brandon couldn't either
00:33:57If this nobody can talk Victor Kozlov into handing it over
00:34:00Then maybe he's worth something
00:34:02Mother, you can't be serious
00:34:04Victor Koznak is one of the most dangerous 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 in the water
00:34:17A piece of land?
00:34:19That's your test?
00:34:20A piece of land?
00:34:22Boy, Victor Kozlov could squash you like a bug with his pinky
00:34:25Don't let your mouth write jerks your body can't cash
00:34:31Selina, relax
00:34:32I'll get the land back
00:34:33Drake, the Kozlovs are dangerous
00:34:36Dimitri alone is bad enough
00:34:37His father is ten times worse
00:34:39Promise me you'll be careful
00:34:42Trust me
00:34:48Well, well
00:34:49Look who crawled out of the gutter
00:34:51The clown from the ceremony
00:34:53You've got some nerve showing your face here
00:34:58Though I see you brought a little something for me
00:35:01Miss Whitmore
00:35:02You're even more stunning up close
00:35:10Touch her
00:35:11And you lose the hand
00:35:13You let go
00:35:15You know who my father is?
00:35:16Victor Kozlov
00:35:18You're a dead man
00:35:20Drake!
00:35:21You broke his finger
00:35:23That's Victor Kozlov's son
00:35:25Drake
00:35:26We need to go
00:35:27Before his men show up
00:35:30Tell your old man
00:35:31The Whitmore property
00:35:33I want it back in 24 hours
00:35:36If I have to come to him myself
00:35:38It won't be just one finger
00:35:45Ashford
00:35:46You're dead
00:35:47My father will peel the skin off your bones
00:35:50You hear me?
00:35:51Dead!
00:35:55Hughes!
00:35:56You're crazy!
00:35:57You're beyond help!
00:35:59How dare you?
00:36:00Lord Bart is here in person
00:36:02And you trash
00:36:03Still dare say his name like that
00:36:05You're begging to die
00:36:08You have a death wish!
00:36:13Calm down Lord Bart
00:36:14I know this loser made you mad by saying your name
00:36:18But don't take it out on me
00:36:20Hopeless!
00:36:21Don't work yourself up
00:36:24I'll handle this right now
00:36:25Take care of this trash for good
00:36:28Idiot
00:36:31Miss
00:36:32Lord Bart's furious
00:36:34Even young master Carl got hit
00:36:36You have to stay away from Hughes
00:36:39If you don't
00:36:40You won't just miss out on the temple
00:36:42Lord Bart might hold it against you too
00:36:45Hughes
00:36:47I tried to save you
00:36:48Again and again
00:36:51You're the one throwing your life away
00:36:54I did everything I could
00:36:55I have nothing to feel guilty about
00:36:58From now on what happens to you is none of my business
00:37:03Lord Bart
00:37:13Bart, branch master of the summoner's temple valon branch
00:37:16Greetings Lord Hughes
00:37:24Father!
00:37:25That bastard Drake Ashfield broke my finger
00:37:28He said if you don't return the Whitmore land in 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 Ashford brat?
00:37:37Yes
00:37:38A worthless nobody
00:37:40He dared to threaten the Kozlov synthet
00:37:42Father, give me the word
00:37:44I'll bring you his head on a platter
00:37:48You let a nobody break your finger
00:37:50And you come running to me?
00:37:53Pathetic
00:37:53You carry the Kozlov name
00:37:55And you can't handle one man?
00:37:57You're an embarrassment
00:37:58Father, that guy is unhinged
00:38:00He's not normal
00:38:01His grip alone
00:38:02Enough
00:38:03I'll handle this personally
00:38:05Nobody threatens the Kozlov synthet and gets away with it
00:38:08Set up a meeting
00:38:08Tell Drake Ashford if he wants the land
00:38:11He comes to me himself
00:38:12Tonight
00:38:12The 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
00:38:22You have to stop him
00:38:24Victor Kozlov doesn't play games
00:38:27Drake broke his son's finger
00:38:29That's not something the old man let slide
00:38:31I know
00:38:32But Drake told me to trust him
00:38:34Every time I've doubted him
00:38:35He's proven me wrong
00:38:36Okay
00:38:36I have to ask
00:38:37Don't you think Drake's a little off?
00:38:40At the ceremony
00:38:40Marcus Stone smacked Brandon
00:38:42For running his mouth
00:38:42But didn't say a word to Drake
00:38:44And the Wolf King's estate?
00:38:45Drake lives there
00:38:46That doesn't strike you as weird?
00:38:48What are you getting at?
00:38:49I'm saying
00:38:50What if Drake isn't who everybody thinks he is?
00:38:54What if there's more to him than meets the eye?
00:38:58It's Drake
00:39:01Selina
00:39:01Victor wants to meet tonight
00:39:03The Eastern Warehouse
00:39:04I'm going
00:39:05Drake!
00:39:07It's a trap!
00:39:07He'll have men waiting!
00:39:09I know
00:39:09Don't worry
00:39:10I'll have your land deed back by midnight
00:39:16I'm going with you
00:39:19Then I'm coming too
00:39:20If things go sideways
00:39:22At least someone can call for backup
00:39:28Shut your mouth!
00:39:29You have no idea who this man is!
00:39:31He is the Warden of the Abyss
00:39:32I spent three years in that hell
00:39:34And this man owned every inch of it
00:39:36Every single day my life was in his hands
00:39:38The Abyss?
00:39:39The world's most terrifying prison?
00:39:41Father, you were in there?
00:39:43Yes!
00:39:44And this man could have ended me a 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 family land
00:39:54And tried to lay hands on her!
00:39:58You useless, brainless brat!
00:40:01You nearly got our whole family wiped!
00:40:03Wiped off the map!
00:40:04Master, this worthless son of mine has insulted you and your lady
00:40:08His fate is yours to decide
00:40:10Whatever you command, even his head I will not object
00:40:14I'm sorry, I didn't know
00:40:16Please, please don't kill me
00:40:18Kill you?
00:40:20Too easy
00:40:20Victor, send him to the Abyss
00:40:22Three years
00:40:23Let him taste what you went through
00:40:25No!
00:40:27Father, please!
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 right here!
00:40:33Take it!
00:40:34Now, the Whitmore land
00:40:36Master, the land deed is here
00:40:39I'll transfer ownership back immediately
00:40:41All back taxes, development fees
00:40:43Everything covered by the Kozlov Syndicate
00:40:45Please accept my deepest apologies
00:40:47One more thing
00:40:48The Whitmore family is under my protection
00:40:51Anyone
00:40:52Anyone at all
00:40:53So much as looks at them wrong
00:40:55I'm coming for you
00:40:57Understood!
00:40:58The Kozlov Syndicate
00:41:00Will guard the 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
00:41:20This is real?
00:41:21Victor Kozlov just
00:41:23Handed it over?
00:41:24He also agreed to cover all the back taxes and fees
00:41:27And from now on
00:41:28The Kozlov Syndicate answers to the Whitmoms
00:41:32How
00:41:32How is that possible?
00:41:35Victor Kozlov?
00:41:36The most feared man in the city
00:41:38Just handed everything over?
00:41:40In ten minutes?
00:41:42Who the hell is Drake Ashfield?
00:41:44He walked into the lion's den alone
00:41:46And came out with everything
00:41:47Victor wasn't just beat
00:41:48He was scared
00:41:50But scared of what?
00:41:52Unless Drake isn't who everyone thinks he is
00:41:54Unless he's someone far bigger
00:41:58I don't know how you did it
00:42:00But
00:42:01Thank you, Drake
00:42:04I told you
00:42:06Trust me
00:42:11Grandmother
00:42:12The land deed
00:42:13Victor Kozlov returned it every inch
00:42:16He's also covering all back taxes and development fees
00:42:19This
00:42:19This is real?
00:42:20Victor Kozlov
00:42:22That old shark
00:42:23Actually handed it over?
00:42:27Impossible
00:42:28Your grandfather spent years to get this back
00:42:30Brandon went himself three times
00:42:32And got tossed out every single time
00:42:34How could he possibly
00:42:35How did you do it?
00:42:37You said it was a test
00:42:38I passed
00:42:39That's all that matters
00:42:40A deal's a deal
00:42:42I said I'd accept you if you got the land back
00:42:44So as of today
00:42:46The engagement is on
00:42:47Grandmother
00:42:49Mother
00:42:49You can't be serious
00:42:51We don't even know what he did
00:42:53If he made some back alley deal with Kozlov
00:42:55What if he sold us out?
00:42:57Enough
00:42:57I don't care how
00:42:59I care about the result
00:43:00Your grandfather couldn't do it
00:43:02Brandon couldn't do it
00:43:03He did it in one day
00:43:05Don't get comfortable
00:43:06The engagement stands
00:43:08For now
00:43:10You still have more to prove
00:43:12Fair enough
00:43:17Lord Bart
00:43:19The Wrynn family has served you loyally for years
00:43:22Please for old times sake
00:43:24Spare the Wrynn family
00:43:29Patriarch Bernard
00:43:31Look at you groveling like this
00:43:34Quite the change from how your son was strutting around like he owned the place just minutes ago
00:43:39My lord
00:43:49Father
00:43:49What are you doing?
00:43:51You little beast
00:43:52Bow down to Lord Hughes and 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 was bragging to me about how powerful he and the Wrynn family are
00:44:14Said he and all the big shops in Valon could sentence me to death
00:44:17In the name of every great house in the city
00:44:22Sentence him to death
00:44:23The Wrynn family really is something aren't you?
00:44:27Daring to sentence Lord Hughes to death
00:44:35Master
00:44:35Got something for you
00:44:36Go ahead
00:44:37Victoria's been at the gate every 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 I can respect about her
00:44:48There's more master
00:44:49She's been digging into the abyss
00:44:51Digging into what?
00:44:53Exactly
00:44:53She's trying to uncover the Wolf King's real identity
00:44:55Sent Riley to go through the prison records
00:44:58So far nothing
00:44:59You've got those files sealed tight
00:45:01But she's circling
00:45:03Asking about a warden who left three years ago
00:45:05Let her dig
00:45:06She won't find what I don't want her to see
00:45:08With respect master
00:45:10If she keeps pushing she might connect the dots
00:45:13Especially after the ceremony
00:45:14She saw me hesitate before you
00:45:16She's not stupid
00:45:18She figures it out on her own
00:45:20That's her ability
00:45:21But she won't
00:45:22Not yet
00:45:23Her arrogance is a blindfold
00:45:25She's so sure I'm beneath her
00:45:27She could trip over the truth
00:45:28And still call it a rock
00:45:29One more thing master
00:45:30Brandon Howell's been meeting with Helen Whitman
00:45:33Frequently
00:45:33I think they're cooking something 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?
00:45:41No
00:45:42Let them make their move first
00:45:44I want to see how deep
00:45:45They're willing to 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 for this?
00:46:00There's a whole donation segment
00:46:02At the gala
00:46:02Every big name's gonna bring something
00:46:04To the table
00:46:05What's he got?
00:46:06A mop?
00:46:11I thought about that too
00:46:12I offered to help him prep something
00:46:14He 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 in empty-handed
00:46:23Grandmother will lose face
00:46:24In front of everyone
00:46:25And Helen
00:46:26She'll use it to bury him alive
00:46:28I know Helen's planning something
00:46:30Her and Brandon
00:46:31Have been whispering for days
00:46:34Every time I walk past
00:46:35They clam up
00:46:36Selene
00:46:37Listen to me
00:46:37I've been thinking a lot
00:46:38About Drake lately
00:46:39Victor Kozlov
00:46:40The most dangerous man
00:46:42In this city
00:46:42Nailed 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 his cards
00:46:47At that gala
00:46:48Helen and Brandon
00:46:49Are gonna eat him for breakfast
00:46:50I know
00:46:52But every time I try to help Drake
00:46:53He says the same thing
00:46:54Trust me
00:46:56And every single time
00:46:57He's been right
00:46:58Then maybe it's time
00:46:59You actually trusted him
00:47:01Wear the black one
00:47:02That's way hotter
00:47:05Brandon
00:47:05Tell me everything's locked in
00:47:07The auction line-up
00:47:09The seating
00:47:09All of it
00:47:10Locked
00:47:11Sealed
00:47:12And delivered
00:47:12Drake's planted front and center
00:47:14Right next to the main stage
00:47:15When the donation segment hits
00:47:17Every eye in the room's gonna be on it
00:47:19And I made sure the M.I.R. calls out
00:47:21The Whitmore family rep by name
00:47:22No hiding
00:47:23No excuses
00:47:24Good
00:47:25And Victoria Cross
00:47:27Confirmed
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
00:47:34Watching 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
00:47:42After tomorrow night
00:47:44Mother won't have a choice
00:47:46She'll have to kill the engagement
00:47:49Drake Ashford
00:47:50Done
00:47:55Master
00:47:55The charity gala's tomorrow night
00:47:57I've confirmed
00:47:58Brandon and Helen have 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
00:48:06Let me guess
00:48:08Victoria 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
00:48:14She'll be there
00:48:15Watching like a hawk
00:48:17Brandon gives himself
00:48:17Way too much credit
00:48:18He's got Helen
00:48:19Feeding him intel
00:48:20Victoria swinging the big stick
00:48:22And the whole gala
00:48:22As his little showcase
00:48:23Cute
00:48:24For an amateur
00:48:25Master
00:48:26Say the word
00:48:27And I'll shut it down
00:48:28One call
00:48:29And that gala
00:48:30Never happens
00:48:32No
00:48:34I'm going
00:48:34You're attending
00:48:36In person
00:48:39Brandon wants to
00:48:40Humiliate me
00:48:40Victoria wants to
00:48:42Find the Wolf King
00:48:43Helen wants to
00:48:44Kill the engagement
00:48:44Everyone'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 to
00:48:52Give something
00:48:53So I will
00:48:54Marcus
00:48:54Contact Catherine
00:48:56Laurent at
00:48:56Sotheby's Geneva
00:48:57Tell her the Wolf King
00:48:59Is cashing in a favor
00:49:00Catherine Laurent
00:49:01Director of private sales
00:49:04She owes you two
00:49:05From the Lickenstone deal
00:49:06What are you after?
00:49:07The Sovereign's heart
00:49:09Have it brought
00:49:10From the Zurich vault
00:49:11The Sovereign's heart
00:49:13The 62 Krayer of Habsburg crowned diamond
00:49:16You picked it up three years ago
00:49:17For 38 million
00:49:18You're donating that?
00:49:20It's been collecting dust in a vault
00:49:21For three years
00:49:22The time it earned its keep
00:49:24Have Catherine escort it personally
00:49:26Full soft re-security
00:49:28Level 5 clearance
00:49:29G.I.I. papers
00:49:30The whole package
00:49:31Yes, Master
00:49:32Anything else?
00:49:34One more thing
00:49:35I need a suit
00:49:36Nothing flashy
00:49:38Clean
00:49:38Simple
00:49:39But the cufflinks
00:49:40The Wolf King
00:49:41Insignal ones
00:49:41The 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 a chance
00:49:49If she's sharp enough
00:49:50To notice
00:49:50She deserves the truth
00:49:51If she's not
00:49:53That's on her
00:49:58Lord Hughes
00:49:59That can't be a serious request
00:50:01Yeah, my lord
00:50:03That's a pretty bad joke
00:50:04You had no problem
00:50:06Sentencing me to death
00:50:07Did you?
00:50:09What's so hard
00:50:09When 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
00:50:17What if I
00:50:20Insist?
00:50:21Hughes
00:50:21Everyone here
00:50:23Is the backbone of Valon
00:50:24If you kill us
00:50:25You'll tear the whole city apart
00:50:27You think you can handle that?
00:50:33So be it
00:50:35You're going too far
00:50:36You think we won't
00:50:38Take you down with us?
00:50:42Dare you
00:50:43Lord 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
00:51:05I've got you front row
00:51:06Best seat in the house
00:51:07Brandon
00:51:08I didn't come for the champagne
00:51:11You said the Wolf King might show
00:51:12Is that real
00:51:13Or are you just filling seats?
00:51:15I can't confirm anything, General
00:51:16But my sources say
00:51:17Someone very close to the Wolf King
00:51:18Will be in attendance tonight
00:51:19Someone important
00:51:20Important how?
00:51:22That I'll leave for you to judge
00:51:23Just keep your eyes open tonight, 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
00:51:35Perfect
00:51:36Let him get comfortable
00:51:37Donation sections when we strike
00:51:44Drake 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
00:51:56Welcome to the Whitmore Group Annual Charity Gala
00:51:59Tonight
00:52:00We celebrate generosity
00:52:01Community
00:52:02And the spirit of giving
00:52:03Later this evening
00:52:04We'll move to our donation section
00:52:06And I hear this year's offerings
00:52:07Will be nothing short of spectacular
00:52:10Enjoy your last night, Ashford
00:52:11One hour from now
00:52:13You're done
00:52:20Hold it!
00:52:20I've got a question for Mr. Ashford
00:52:23Drake
00:52:24Stunning donation indeed
00:52:25But I think everyone here deserves 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 38 million dollar Habsburg diamond?
00:52:33He's got a point
00:52:35Where'd that diamond really come from?
00:52:37So let me ask the question
00:52:38Everyone's dying to ask
00:52:39Drake 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?
00:52:50Selina, I'm just looking out for your family
00:52:51If that diamond's got a dirty past
00:52:53The Whittam name gets dragged through the mud
00:52:55Right along with it
00:52:55You want to know where the diamond came from?
00:52:58I bought it
00:52:58Three years ago
00:52:59Live at Sotheby's auction in Geneva
00:53:0138 million
00:53:02In cash
00:53:06You bought it?
00:53:0738 million?
00:53:08Drake Ashford
00:53:09A man who can't afford a decent suit
00:53:11Dropped 38 million on a diamond?
00:53:13Do you take us for fools?
00:53:14Mr. Hale
00:53:15Since you seem to struggle with facts
00:53:16Let me clarify
00:53:17This is the original transaction record
00:53:19From Sotheby's Geneva
00:53:20Dated three years ago
00:53:21The buyer is listed as
00:53:22Mr. Drake Ashford
00:53:23Payment wire transfer
00:53:24In full
00:53:25And this is a personal letter
00:53:26From our chatman
00:53:27Sir William Hargo
00:53:27Confirming Mr. Ashford's identity
00:53:29As the buyer
00:53:29And a long-standing client
00:53:30Of Sotheby's private flex
00:53:32Sotheby's has been in business
00:53:33280 years
00:53:35We don't authenticate fakes
00:53:36And we don't mistake our clients
00:53:38If you wish to question
00:53:39Our integrity further
00:53:40Feel free to jump
00:53:41With Sir William personally
00:53:43I wouldn't recommend it
00:53:49Welcome, welcome
00:53:50So glad you could make it
00:53:52Enjoy yourselves tonight
00:53:56General Cross
00:53:57An honor, truly

00:55:12Our annual charity donation segment
00:55:14As tradition demands
00:55:15Each family representative
00:55:17Will present their gift
00:55:18Let's kick things off
00:55:19First up
00:55:20The Grays

00:55:23By Mr. Jonathan Gray
00:55:26The Grays are proud to donate

00:56:04The Cross family donates Storm brand
00:56:06Our ancestral blade
00:56:08Passed down for three generations
00:56:10Priceless
00:56:11But appraised tonight
00:56:13At 8 million
00:56:158 million
00:56:17The Cross family's generosity
00:56:19Is unmatched
00:56:21Thank you, General
00:56:23And now
00:56:24Representing the Whitmounds tonight
00:56:26Please welcome
00:56:27Mr. Drake Ashford
00:56:29Here 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
00:56:57He'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
00:57:04On its way?
00:57:06Did he forget to pack it?
00:57:08This is embarrassing
00:57:09The Whitmore family's representative
00:57:11Can even prepare a donation in advance?
00:57:13Maybe someone should loan Drake a few bucks
00:57:15At least he'd have something to put on the table
00:57:21Mother, this is humiliating
00:57:22The whole city's watching
00:57:24Maybe we should
00:57:27Is that
00:57:27The Sotheby's seal?
00:57:30The Sotheby's seal?
00:57:31The Sotheby's sent something here
00:57:31For Drake Ashford?
00:57:36This is the 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
00:57:44At a private Sotheby's auction in Geneva
00:57:46Perched by an anonymous bidder
00:57:47For
00:57:4838 million dollars
00:57:56Hold it!
00:57:56I've got a question for Mr. Ashford
00:57:59Drake, stunning donation indeed
00:58:01But I think everyone here deserves to know
00:58:03How does a guy with no job
00:58:05No family name
00:58:05And no assets
00:58:06Get his hands on a 38 million dollar
00:58:08Habsburg diamond?
00:58:09He's got a point
00:58:11Where'd that diamond really come from?
00:58:12So let me ask the question
00:58:14Everyone's dying to ask
00:58:15Drake Ashford
00:58:16Did you steal it?
00:58:18Or did someone hand it to you
00:58:19In exchange for something
00:58:20We don't know about?
00:58:21Brandon, that's enough!
00:58:22Sotheby sent their own director
00:58:23With full authentication
00:58:24How dare you?
00:58:26Selena, I'm just looking out
00:58:26For your family
00:58:27If that diamond's got a dirty past
00:58:29The Widom name gets dragged
00:58:30Through the mud
00:58:30Right along with it
00:58:31You want to know
00:58:32Where the diamond came from?
00:58:33I bought it
00:58:34Three years ago
00:58:35Five at Sotheby's auction in Geneva
00:58:3738 million
00:58:38Cash
00:58:41You bought it?
00:58:4338 million?
00:58:44Drake Ashford
00:58:45The man who can't afford
00:58:46A decent suit
00:58:47Dropped 38 million on a diamond?
00:58:49Do you take us for fools?
00:58:50Mr. Hale

01:01:01Victoria
01:01:03Shouldn't you be inside
01:01:04Enjoying the party?
01:01:05I need to ask you something
01:01:07And I need you to be straight
01:01:08With me
01:01:09Go ahead
01:01:13Your cuff clinks
01:01:14The wolf's head
01:01:15Black tustanial
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
01:01:30What would you do about it?
01:01:32What?
01:01:32What do you mean?
01:01:33You tore up my invite
01:01:34In front of 300 people
01:01:35You called me a clown
01:01:37You said I'd never measure up
01:01:38To 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 a fool
01:02:16Of 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
01:02:29Nothing 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
01:02:35I underestimated you
01:02:36Let me buy you a drink
01:02:37Make it up to you
01:02:38Brandon
01:02:39Drop the act
01:02:40We 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
01:02:49So everyone
01:02:50Could watch me
01:02:51Crash and burst
01:02:52The MRI calling my name
01:02:55Right after
01:02:55Victoria's
01:02:56Eight million dollar
01:02:57Sword
01:02:58For maximum contrast
01:03:00Next time you set a trap
01:03:01Make 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
01:03:09You won tonight
01:03:11But I'll find out
01:03:12He's backing you
01:03:13And I'll tear them away
01:03:14From you
01:03:15One by one
01:03:19Drake Ashford
01:03:20The sovereign's heart
01:03:2138 million
01:03:22A Habsburg crowned diamond
01:03:24You are absolutely insane
01:03:26I am officially
01:03:27Your number one fan
01:03:29Chloe
01:03:29Hands off my fiancé
01:03:31Selena
01:03:32Seriously
01:03:33Where did you find this man?
01:03:35Viktor Kozlov kneels to him
01:03:36Sotheby's chairman
01:03:37Writes him personal letters
01:03:38He tosses Habsburg diamonds around
01:03:40Like party gifts
01:03:41What's next?
01:03:42The queen invites him to tea?
01:03:44Drake
01:03:44Tonight was incredible
01:03:46But I know Brandon
01:03:48He's not the type to admit defeat
01:03:50Let him come
01:03:51Every move he makes
01:03:53Costs him more
01:03:53By the time he's done
01:03:55He won't have a leg to 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
01:04:05Viktor Kozlov on his knees
01:04:07Whatever you're hiding
01:04:08I can wait
01:04:09Until you're ready to let me in
01:04:14General
01:04:15There you are
01:04:16You just vanished
01:04:17I've been searching everywhere
01:04:18Riley
01:04:19Change of plans
01:04:21Call off the background check on Drake
01:04:23What?
01:04:24But we barely started
01:04:25I said drop it
01:04:26I don't need it anymore
01:04:29Get me a secure line
01:04:30To mark a stone up north
01:04:31Encrypted
01:04:32Now
01:04:33Yes General
01:04:34May I ask why?
01:04:36Because if my gut's right
01:04:37I just made the biggest mistake of my life
01:04:39And 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 the Wolf King
01:04:47Then I don't just owe 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 about
01:05:03Drake Ashford
01:05:03And that damn diamond
01:05:04I've seen it
01:05:06Look at these comments
01:05:07Who is Drake Ashford?
01:05:08The mystery man behind the Sovereign's heart
01:05:10Whitmore family's secret weapon
01:05:12Mother this is bad
01:05:13The more press he gets
01:05:14The harder he'll be to shake
01:05:16Helen last night at the gala
01:05:17You and Brandon tried to humiliate Drake
01:05:19In front of the entire city
01:05:20You assumed he'd walk in empty handed
01:05:23Instead he produced a Sotheby's certified
01:05:2538 million dollar diamond
01:05:27So tell me
01:05:27Who exactly got humiliated last night?
01:05:30Mother
01:05:31I 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 shows line up
01:05:38Brandon's little questions
01:05:39All orchestrated
01:05:41And it blew up in your face
01:05:43Spectacularly
01:05:43Mother
01:05:44Even if Drake has money and connections
01:05:46That doesn't change who he is
01:05:47He's still a nobody
01:05:48The Ashwoods threw him out
01:05:49He was a prison guard
01:05:50For God's sake
01:05:50Selina deserves better
01:05:52Selina deserves what exactly?
01:05:53Brandon Hale?
01:05:54A man who schemes behind people's backs
01:05:56And can't even scheme right?
01:06:02Helen
01:06:03I'll level with you
01:06:05I still don't fully trust Drake
01:06:07I don't know where his money comes from
01:06:09I don't know who he's connected to
01:06:10But after last night
01:06:11One thing is crystal clear
01:06:13What?
01:06:15He is not who he appears to be
01:06:18And until I figure out exactly what he is
01:06:22Nobody in this family lays a finger on him
01:06:24Not you
01:06:25Not Brandon
01:06:26Are we clear?
01:06:28Yes mother
01:06:37Mother have you seen the news?
01:06:38The gala's everywhere
01:06:39Every single headline's about Drake Ashford

01:07:05So tell me
01:07:06Who exactly got humiliated last night?
01:07:09Mother
01:07:09I don't
01:07:11Don't
01:07:11I'm old but I'm not senile

01:08:00Nobody in this family lays a finger on him
01:08:03Not you, not Brandon
01:08:04Are we clear?
01:08:07Yes, mother
01:08:10James
01:08:11What did you dig up?
01:08:13Sir, I ran a full background check on Drake Ashford like you asked
01:08:16And the results, they're weird
01:08:17Weird how?
01:08:18His file is practically empty
01:08:19Born Ashfield, kicked out at 18
01:08:21And then nothing
01:08:22No job history, no tax records
01:08:25No property, no bank accounts under his name
01:08:27It's like he dropped off the face of the earth for the last decade
01:08:30That's not possible
01:08:32A guy who drops 38 million on a diamond doesn't leave zero footprint
01:08:35That's what I figured, sir
01:08:36So I pushed harder
01:08:37Found one lead, and only one
01:08:39Three years ago, Sotheby's Jerva, private auction
01:08:41The buyer of the Sovereign's Heart was listed as D. Ashford
01:08:43Payment went through a shell company registered in Liberanstein
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 knocked on got shut in my face
01:08:55Libinstein government, Sotheby's, the banks, all of them clammed up
01:08:58One contact in Geneva told me off the record that shell company is tied to someone with serious weight
01:09:03Someone who operates above government pay form
01:09:08Above government pay grade
01:09:09There's more, sir
01:09:11I cross-referenced Drake's timeline with known events
01:09:13After he got the boot from the Ashfords
01:09:15The only place he's confirmed to have been is a facility called the Abyss
01:09:19The Abyss? That 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
01:09:26Warden
01:09:27Except his clearance level and 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 records are wide open
01:09:35His clearance is higher than the director's?
01:09:37That's what it looks like, sir
01:09:38No records
01:09:39A sealed shell company
01:09:41Ties to Sotheby's chairman
01:09:42Victor Kozlov on his knees
01:09:44Living in the Wolf King's estate
01:09:46And a clearance level that outranks the prison director
01:09:48James
01:09:49Who does that point to?
01:09:51Sir, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but
01:09:53Spit it out
01:09:54The only name that fits every single piece of that puzzle
01:09:57Is the Wolf King himself
01:10:01The Wolf King?
01:10:03Drake Ashford that kicked out washed up failure is the Wolf King?
01:10:06Give me a break
01:10:07Sir
01:10:07I'm just giving you the facts as they landed
01:10:11Your facts are garbage
01:10:12Or you're missing half the picture
01:10:13Drake's not the Wolf King he can't be
01:10:15Someone big is pulling strings behind him
01:10:17That's the only play that makes sense
01:10:19I don't want theories
01:10:20I want a name
01:10:20Find me that backer
01:10:23Yes, sir
01:10:23The Wolf King?
01:10:25No, no way
01:10:26Drake Ashford is nobody
01:10:28He has to be
01:10:29Because if he isn't
01:10:30Then I've been trying to bury the most dangerous man on the planet
01:10:34And that means I'm a dead man walking
01:10:36I just haven't stopped breathing yet
01:10:41Master
01:10:41I've got updates on three fronts
01:10:43Lay them on me
01:10:44First, Victoria Cross came to see you this morning
01:10:46My sources say left the estate in a completely different headspace than when she arrived
01:10:50She hasn't breathed the word to Riley or anyone else about your identity
01:10:52She's keeping her word
01:10:54Good
01:10:54She's not dumb
01:10:55Just a little slow on the uptake
01:10:56Second
01:10:57Brandon Hale hired a PI to dig into your past
01:11:00The guy's sharp
01:11:01He's already turned up the Lichtenstein Shell Company and your Arbis records
01:11:04The files are sealed
01:11:05But he flagged the blacked out clearance level
01:11:07Did Brandon connect the dots?
01:11:09His investigator floated the possibility that you're the Wolf King
01:11:13Brandon shot it down
01:11:15He's convinced someone powerful is pulling strings for you
01:11:17He can't wrap his head around you being the source of that power yourself
01:11:21Of course he can't
01:11:23Guys like Brandon can never imagine the person they look down of as the one standing above them
01:11:28Let him keep digging
01:11:29The more he scratches the surface, the deeper a hole he's digging for himself
01:11:33Understood
01:11:33Third
01:11:34The Ashford family annual gathering is in five days
01:11:37Your brother Edward's been telling everyone he's about to be named the new Ashford heir
01:11:41He's also been spreading rumors that you were kicked out for criminal behavior
01:11:45And that you're a stain on the family name
01:11:47Edward
01:11:49Ten years and the guy still can't stop running his mouth about me
01:11:52The Widmolds got an invite to the gathering
01:11:54If you go with Selene, you'll be face to face with Edward and the whole Ashfield clan
01:11:58Could get messy
01:12:00Messy?
01:12:01No
01:12:01It's simple
01:12:02Edward wants to be the Ashford heir
01:12:04Let him have his moment in the sun
01:12:05I'll show up as Selene's plus son
01:12:07As a nobody
01:12:08As the guy the Ashford's threw through to the curb
01:12:10And 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
01:12:28Look at the stitching
01:12:29That thing's worth more than most people's mortgages
01:12:32Drake
01:12:32Everyone's staring
01:12:34Good
01:12:35You're the best looking woman 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 the family throw out has the nerve to 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 dropped the bomb during the announcements
01:13:05I know the drill
01:13:08The back corner
01:13:09Next to the kitchen door
01:13:11They did this on purpose
01:13:12Of 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 for junior family affiliates
01:13:21If you'd prefer a different
01:13:23This seat's fine
01:13:23But bring me your best bottle
01:13:25The 82 Marget if you have it
01:13:27Sir
01:13:28The 82 Marget is reserved for the head table
01:13:30Then unreserve it
01:13:35You just hijacked Edward's prize wine
01:13:39It was never his to begin with
01:13:51That dress
01:13:52Is that a Vivian Lawrence?
01:13:54Has to be
01:13:55Look at the stitching
01:13:56That thing's worth more than most people's mortgages
01:13:58Drake, everyone's staring
01:14:00Good
01:14:02You're the best looking woman in this city tonight
01:14:04And they all know it
01:14:06Invitation please
01:14:10Mr. Drake Ashfield
01:14:12Any problem?
01:14:13No sir
01:14:13Please come in
01:14:19Drake?
01:14:20He actually showed?
01:14:22That piece of trash the family throw out
01:14:24Has the nerve to walk through these doors?
01:14:26Right on time
01:14:27Stick to the plan
01:14:28Let him sit down
01:14:29Get comfortable
01:14:29We dropped the bomb during the announcements
01:14:31I know the drill
01:14:35The back corner?
01:14:36Next to the kitchen door?
01:14:38They did this on purpose
01:14:39Of course they are
01:14:40Don't stress
01:14:41We won't be sitting here long
01:14:42Mr. Ashford
01:14:44I've been asked to inform you
01:14:45This table is designated for junior family affiliates
01:14:48If you'd prefer a different
01:14:49This seat's fine

01:14:56Then unreserve it
01:15:01You just hijacked Edward's prize wine
01:15:05It was never his to begin with
01:15:14Ladies and gentlemen
01:15:16Welcome to the Ashford family annual gathering
01:15:19Tonight is a very special evening
01:15:21Because we have a historic announcement to make
01:15:24Please welcome to the stage
01:15:26Mr. Edward Ashford
01:15:28Thank you all for being here
01:15:36The Ashford family has stood for over a century
01:15:39Built on vision
01:15:41On strength
01:15:42On legacy
01:15:43And tonight
01:15:44I have the honor of announcing the next chapter of that legacy
01:15:47After careful deliberation by the family council
01:15:50And with the full endorsement of our board of directors
01:15:54I am formally being named the heir and future patriarch of the Ashford family
01:16:01For the past three years
01:16:02I've led crown industries through some rough waters
01:16:05Revenue dips
01:16:06Market shifts
01:16:07Cutthroat competition
01:16:08I've faced them all head on
01:16:10And tonight
01:16:11I stand before you proof that the Ashford name isn't just surviving
01:16:15It's thriving
01:16:17Of course
01:16:18To truly build the future
01:16:19We must also acknowledge the past
01:16:22My brother
01:16:22Shame upon our name
01:16:25He was disowned
01:16:26The family moved on
01:16:29I bring this up not to dwell on old wounds
01:16:32But to remind everyone
01:16:34The Watford family does not tolerate weakness
01:16:37Does not tolerate failure
01:16:39And it certainly does not tolerate those who forget their place
01:16:43Drake
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
01:16:48Now
01:16:49The show's just getting warmed up
01:16:54Speaking of the past
01:16:56Drake
01:16:58What a surprise
01:17:00I didn't think you'd have the nerve to show your face tonight
01:17:02Edward
01:17:04Nice speech
01:17:04Very practiced
01:17:06Practiced?
01:17:07I don't need to practice, Drake
01:17:08I've been running this family for 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 downsizing
01:17:21A winning match for a disaboned Ashford, wouldn'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
01:17:33Threatening me?
01:17:34In my house?
01:17:36Drake's, you haven't changed a bit
01:17:37Still delusional
01:17:38Still believing you matter
01:17:40Ladies and gentlemen
01:17:41Let me properly introduce my little brother
01:17:43Drake Ashford
01:17:44Disowned for refusing to play by the family rules
01:17:47Vanished for a decade
01:17:48Accomplished exactly nothing
01:17:50Now he graces our gathering tonight
01:17:51In a borrowed suit
01:17:52At the junior table
01:17:53Drinking wine he certainly didn't pay for
01:17:56You done?
01:17:57Done?
01:17:58I'm just getting started
01:17:59Father made the right call when he
01:18:01Father didn't disown me, Edward
01:18:06You did
01:18:09W-what 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, Edward
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?
01:18:42That's Harold Webb
01:18:43The Ashford family's legal guardian
01:18:45Harold 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 and 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?
01:19:08For the past ten years
01:19:09I have held Arthur Ashford's true last will and testament in trust
01:19:13The document was sealed at Arthur's explicit request
01:19:16To be opened only when the rightful heir returned to claim it
01:19:23I can confirm that the document presented by Drake Ashfield tonight is authentic
01:19:27It is Arthur Ashfield's original will
01:19:30I notarized it personally
01:19:31And I have kept a dupleted in my secure vault for ten years
01:19:36The will is straightforward
01:19:38I quote
01:19:39I designate my son Drake Ashfield as sole heir to the Ashford Family Estate Crown Comparations
01:19:44And all associated holdings
01:19:45This decision is final and irrevable
01:19:48End quote
01:19:56The council vote was a sham Edward
01:20:00I've known for years
01:20:01Elder confession just confirmed what I already suspected
01:20:04You forged the votes
01:20:05Bribed a council member
01:20:06And stole your brother's birthright
01:20:08In the eyes of the law and this family
01:20:10You were never the legitimate heir
01:20:11Drake
01:20:12Your father asked me to give you a message
01:20:15For when this day came
01:20:17He said
01:20:17Tell my son I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect him while I was alive
01:20:21But I made sure the truth would be waiting for him
01:20:25Thank you Mr. Webb
01:20:37Going somewhere Brandon?
01:20:40Victoria I was just
01:20:41You orchestrated this whole night
01:20:44You baited Drake to the Ashford Gathering so Edward could tear him down in public
01:20:48You fed me that intel about the Wolf King to turn me into your pot
01:20:51And now that your little scheme has blown up in your face
01:20:54You're cutting and running
01:20:55Victoria I have no idea what you're talking about
01:20:59Let me be crystal clear Brandon
01:21:01You ever try to use me again
01:21:02For anything I will put you down
01:21:05Not your career reputation
01:21:07You
01:21:07Do we understand each other?
01:21:09Y-yes
01:21:12Understood
01:21:17It's over
01:21:18Edward's done
01:21:19The Ashfords are toast
01:21:20And 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 in public in five years
01:21:40What's he doing here tonight?
