00:00Tonight, we toast the one who kept the seat warm.
00:04I'm finally home, everyone.
00:08Welcome back, Celeste.
00:14The real one's back, so when do you pack up and leave?
00:19I'm never meant to take anyone's place, really.
00:22Five years, and I remember every single one.
00:29You always knew this seat was never yours.
00:35Let's give the seat back to its rightful owner tonight.
00:38The rightful owner? Be careful who you're crowning.
00:42Don't make tonight harder than it needs to be.
00:46It's okay. You can stay as a guest.
00:51To the seat. May it hold whoever can.
00:55You think anyone here is on your side?
01:03I don't need a side.
01:05I am the floor you all stand on.
01:10Enjoy the night while it lasts.
01:12Sign it tonight if you know what's good for you.
01:18One little signature, and we can all move on.
01:22Make me.
01:25Everyone's here to watch you finally sign and leave.
01:30I'm not signing.
01:31I'm staying.
01:33You all assumed I'd beg to leave.
01:36I'm here to make you beg me to stay.
01:39You ungrateful little...
01:41You think you have any leverage left?
01:42Leverage?
01:43I know what this family hides behind closed doors.
01:47One word for me, and every camera outside will have a real story.
01:52Are you working with him?
01:54Is that man behind all of this?
01:59Tell me the truth.
02:00Are you doing all this for him?
02:02Why so anxious, Julian?
02:04I never said I was here for you.
02:07Julian, why do you even care what she does anymore?
02:11I...
02:12I don't care.
02:13I just won't let her ruin this family.
02:16You're not protecting anything.
02:18You just can't stand losing what you threw away.
02:21What did you promise her?
02:23What are you two planning?
02:25I promised her nothing.
02:27She doesn't need anyone's promise.
02:30He's right.
02:31I fight my own war.
02:33Now, everyone, watch closely.
02:36Stay if you want.
02:37But you'll regret refusing to leave, I swear it!
02:41Julian, she's not afraid of us at all anymore.
02:43Regret?
02:44Sweetheart, by the time you understand,
02:47you'll be the one begging.
02:49Drag her out before she ruins everything.
02:54Touch her,
02:56and I'll make sure none of you sleep tonight.
03:01Who are you, and why are you here?
03:06You.
03:07What the hell are you doing in my house?
03:10That's the one man Julian could never beat.
03:12She walks out of here on her own feet, untouched.
03:16This is a family matter.
03:17You have no right to be here.
03:19A family that throws away its own foundation?
03:21I'm very interested.
03:24You've been waiting a long time, haven't you?
03:26Get away from my wife!
03:28You don't get to touch what's mine!
03:30I don't even know you.
03:33Why protect me?
03:36Because five years ago, I already knew exactly who you are.
03:42Five years ago?
03:43What are you talking about?
03:48Walk out with me.
03:49Let them watch.
03:51She's nothing!
03:52Just a filler!
03:54Why do you even care?
03:55A filler?
03:58She's the only reason this house still stands.
04:02She can't even fill a seat right.
04:03Who'd ever want her?
04:09Then she's mine now.
04:13If you're serious, then there are conditions.
04:16You don't get to take her!
04:17She's still my wife!
04:20I don't need rescuing.
04:21I need a battlefield.
04:23A battlefield?
04:25You're far more interesting than I thought.
04:27Stop this nonsense!
04:27She signs the exit paper tonight!
04:30I won't be signing anything.
04:32Not tonight.
04:33Not ever.
04:35Her conditions.
04:37Her terms.
04:38From now on, you answer to her.
04:40Julian, are you really going to let him take her like this?
04:46Are you doing this just to spite me, Nora?
04:48Spite you?
04:50You're not worth the effort anymore.
04:52One more word about her, and you'll regret it.
04:55Your battlefield.
04:57I'll build it.
04:58But you fight your own war.
05:01Put those foes away!
05:03This stays in this family!
05:06You'll regret leaving with him, I promise you!
05:11No.
05:12The one who'll regret tonight
05:15is every single one of you.
05:18Why her?
05:19What does she mean to you?
05:20Tell me!
05:23Julian, she's clearly using him to hurt us!
05:26You really want to talk about who's using whom, Julian?
05:29I have nothing to hide from anyone here.
05:33Let her finish.
05:34I think you'll want to hear this.
05:36Five years ago, the proposal, none of it was real, was it?
05:40I don't know what you're talking about.
05:44You picked me to keep her seat warm.
05:46I've known from day one, the only thing you got wrong
05:48was thinking I'd stay quiet forever.
05:50That's a lie!
05:51I never asked anyone to do that for me!
05:55She didn't accuse you,
05:57but your face just did.
05:59Don't worry.
06:01Tonight I've only told you half of it.
06:03How much do you actually know?
06:04Tell me right now!
06:09You don't owe him a single answer.
06:11Let's go.
06:14Good night, Julian.
06:15Sleep on what I know.
06:16She knows.
06:17She knows everything.
06:19She's bluffing.
06:20She has to be bluffing, right?
06:22Bluffing or not,
06:24she has to be gone before she opens her mouth again.
06:28Is it true you refuse to leave the family?
06:34So this is how they want to play it.
06:37You handed me the spotlight.
06:39I'll use it well.
06:41The press already has the paper.
06:43Just sign it and disappear.
06:47Every camera out there already calls you a leech.
06:50End it now.
06:51Call me whatever you like.
06:54I'm not going anywhere.
06:56I'm trying to protect you.
06:58Sign it before this gets worse.
07:00The whole city's laughing at you.
07:02Why put yourself through this?
07:06Keep talking.
07:08Every word I'm keeping.
07:10Then go out there and tell them yourself!
07:14I have nothing to hide.
07:16The truth always comes out.
07:23Smile for them now.
07:24I'll collect later.
07:25Whatever you think you know,
07:26keep it to yourself.
07:29You're scared.
07:31That's the most honest you've been in five years.
07:38One more for the file.
07:40You want a story?
07:42I'll give you the real one.
07:44Every threat.
07:45Every lie.
07:46Filed and dated.
07:51Today, we officially begin her exit procedure.
07:54I just hope we can all part on good times.
08:00Of course.
08:01But first I'd like to understand where it all began.
08:04There's nothing to understand.
08:05Just take what's offered and leave.
08:07You all seem awfully eager to rush me out the door.
08:13If it's all a lie, the proof starts here.
08:16Five years of marriage.
08:18Let's see how it really started.
08:19A pre-arranged stand-in while she was abroad.
08:23From the proposal to the vows,
08:25every word was scripted.
08:26I was never chosen.
08:28I was just...
08:30convenient.
08:31Five years.
08:32I gave them everything.
08:34And it was all a setup.
08:35Crying won't fix this.
08:36But this...
08:37This changes everything.
08:39What are you doing in here?
08:40Put those down!
08:43A pre-arranged filler.
08:45So the marriage was fake from day one.
08:47Don't bother.
08:48I've already read every page.
08:50Those papers mean nothing.
08:51No one will believe a word you say.
08:54For five years, I was a pawn on your board.
08:59Since it was a game from the start,
09:01I'll stop being the pawn and start playing.
09:05Sign the exit paper now,
09:06or we'll make you regret it!
09:12Is this how you treat the woman holding your family together?
09:17You heard him.
09:18Careful who's watching now.
09:20This is none of your business!
09:21Get out of my house!
09:24Everything you do today,
09:26he sees it all.
09:29Stay close.
09:31I'm not done with him yet.
09:32She's only using you to threaten us!
09:34Can't you see that?
09:36Buy me three days.
09:38I'll handle the rest of myself.
09:40Three days?
09:41You really don't want to be saved, do you?
09:43Fine.
09:43But this isn't over.
09:45Not by a long shot!
09:49Don't think he can protect you forever, Nora.
09:51I never asked him to protect me.
09:53I asked for a battlefield.
09:55Most people in your place would be begging me to fight for them.
09:58I don't want you to win for me.
10:00I want you to watch me win.
10:02Then I'll give you the front row to your own war.
10:04Three days.
10:05And this is just the first card I'll play.
10:08You've been planning this far longer than they think.
10:12You said I'm more interesting than you thought.
10:14You have no idea yet.
10:17Sign here.
10:18This is your last chance to leave with anything at all.
10:23Before I sign,
10:25who actually decided I had to go?
10:27The family decided, of course.
10:29We agreed you were never meant to stay.
10:31Agreed?
10:32Even five years ago,
10:34when you all welcomed me in?
10:36Five years ago,
10:37you were just a placeholder
10:38until Celeste returned.
10:39Everyone knew.
10:41A placeholder.
10:42So you all knew
10:44from the very beginning.
10:45Harold, that's enough!
10:46Stop talking right now!
10:50It matches perfectly.
10:52A pre-arranged placeholder.
10:54Confirmed.
10:55This proves nothing!
10:57A slip of the tongue means nothing in court!
10:59I...
10:59I just got lucky he said too much, that's all.
11:04Lucky indeed.
11:05Don't think this changes anything, girl.
11:07Of course.
11:08Just lucky.
11:10Nothing more.
11:11What going on here?
11:12Why does she still look so calm?
11:15Nothing.
11:17Harold just misspake.
11:18The procedure continues as planned.
11:22I should go.
11:23I wouldn't want to make things harder for everybody.
11:26Watch your step, girl.
11:27Luck runs out fast around here.
11:31I'm sorry for the trouble.
11:33I truly didn't mean to cause any.
11:35That was the worst acting I've ever seen,
11:36and the best trap.
11:38One slip down,
11:39the whole house to go.
11:42Everyone's here to watch you
11:44finally sign and leave.
11:48I'm not signing.
11:49I'm staying.
11:51You all assumed I'd beg to leave.
11:53I'm here to make you beg me to stay.
11:57You ungrateful little,
11:58you think you have any leverage left?
12:00Leverage?
12:01I know what this family hides behind closed doors.
12:05One word for me,
12:06and every camera outside will have a real story.
12:10Are you working with him?
12:12Is that man behind all of this?
12:17Tell me the truth.
12:18Are you doing all this for him?
12:19Why so anxious, Julian?
12:22I never said I was here for you.
12:24Julian,
12:25why do you even care what she does anymore?
12:29I don't care.
12:31I just won't let her ruin this family.
12:33You're not protecting anything.
12:35You just can't stand losing what you threw away.
12:39What did you promise her?
12:40What are you two planning?
12:43I promised her nothing.
12:45She doesn't need anyone's promise.
12:48He's right.
12:49I fight my own war.
12:51Now, everyone,
12:52watch closely.
12:54Stay if you want.
12:55But you'll regret refusing to leave,
12:57I swear it.
12:58Julian,
12:59she's not afraid of us at all anymore.
13:01Regret?
13:02Sweetheart,
13:02by the time you understand,
13:04you'll be the one begging.
13:07Everything she does,
13:09I taught Julian to love first.
13:11She's just a shadow
13:12who copied the original for five years.
13:15A shadow remembers everything the light forgot.
13:18Five years of effort,
13:20and you couldn't even copy her right.
13:22Every charity,
13:24every dinner,
13:24those were always my ideas.
13:28Keep claiming my work.
13:30I'm writing it all down.
13:32Look at her shine.
13:34That's what a real wife looks like.
13:36Tonight,
13:37everyone finally sees who the real Mrs. is.
13:42Enjoy the spotlight.
13:44You have no idea what holds it up.
13:46Even she does it better than you ever did.
13:49Don't feel bad.
13:51Not everyone can be the original.
13:53The original was sent away five years ago.
13:55Have you wondered who?
13:57What are you talking about?
13:59I'm the original.
14:00Everyone knows that.
14:02The one who was truly replaced
14:04isn't standing where you think.
14:08Keep dancing, Celesta.
14:10The music won't last forever.
14:13Enough about shadows.
14:14Let's toast to the real Mrs. tonight.
14:17The shadow should know its place.
14:19Back in the corner.
14:20Every face,
14:22every laugh,
14:23all filed under one name,
14:25debt.
14:26From tonight,
14:27she is the true lady of this house.
14:32I'll cherish this family
14:33the way it deserves.
14:37Congratulations.
14:38Wear the title
14:39while it still fits you.
14:41Make yourself useful in the back.
14:43You don't belong out here anymore.
14:46The back's quieter.
14:48You'll be more comfortable there.
14:50The back gives the best view
14:51of everything you do.
14:52Go to the back.
14:54Don't embarrass yourself
14:54in front of the guests.
14:57Now this house finally
14:58has its rightful, Mrs.
15:03Crown her tonight.
15:05I'll be counting from the back.
15:07So this is where
15:08they think I belong now.
15:12Every name out there,
15:13I won't forget a single one.
15:15Let them celebrate.
15:16The bill always comes due.
15:18Ah, all alone back here?
15:21This suits you so much better.
15:23Don't worry.
15:23I'll make sure no one
15:24bothers you back here.
15:28Bother me?
15:29Celesta, you should worry
15:30who sent you away first.
15:32Sent away?
15:33You're delusional.
15:34I left to come back
15:35and reclaim everything.
15:38Stay back here and rot.
15:39You'll never matter again!
15:45A shadow belongs in the back.
15:48And you can't even do that right.
15:51Say one more word
15:52and you'll wish you hadn't.
15:56You shouldn't be back here.
15:58They'll see you.
15:59What is he doing here?
16:00This is for family only!
16:03Family?
16:04You couldn't hold a candle
16:05to the woman behind me.
16:09You'll both regret this.
16:11Everyone out there will know!
16:12I told you
16:13I'll be wherever they corner you.
16:18Stop running every time
16:19I get close to you.
16:23I can't afford to need
16:24anyone right now.
16:26You don't need me.
16:29But you don't have to do
16:30this alone either.
16:35Five years I waited
16:36to stand this close
16:37to you again.
16:38Someone's coming.
16:39We can't be seen like this.
16:41Isn't that the man
16:42Julian fears most?
16:44You saw nothing.
16:46Turn around and leave.
16:49She's under my protection now.
16:51Spread the word.
16:52He's claiming her in public!
16:54Julian's going to lose it!
16:58Let them talk.
17:00I won't let you
17:01face them alone.
17:05Five years ago
17:06I saw you
17:07not as anyone's filler
17:08but as you.
17:10Before they turned you
17:11into a perfect wife.
17:12I remember the real one.
17:14Five years ago?
17:15We never even met back then.
17:16A gallery
17:17a rainy afternoon
17:18you stood in front of
17:19one painting for an hour.
17:21You didn't know who I was
17:22and you were the most real
17:23thing I'd ever seen.
17:24Before everything
17:25before they made me
17:26into someone else.
17:28So protecting me
17:28it's just a way
17:29to get back at Julian
17:30isn't it?
17:32Protecting you
17:32was never the means.
17:33It was always the point.
17:37No one
17:39no one ever wanted
17:40the real me before.
17:42Then let me be
17:43the first
17:44and the last.
17:48Tell me to stop
17:49and I will.
17:54I can't
17:55I'm scared
17:55I'm scared
17:56this isn't real.
17:57I've waited five years.
17:59I can wait
18:00until you believe it.
18:03For five years
18:04they told me
18:05I was nothing
18:05but a replacement.
18:07They were wrong.
18:08You were never
18:09the replacement.
18:10You were the only
18:11real one.
18:12Why me?
18:13After all these years
18:14why are you still
18:15so sure?
18:15Because the real you
18:16survived everything
18:17they did.
18:17That's who I want.
18:19Give me time.
18:20I'm not ready to believe
18:21in being wanted yet.
18:24Just one step
18:25for the first time
18:26in five years.
18:29Look everyone
18:30the shadow
18:31seducing another
18:32family's man.
18:33Watch your mouth
18:34Celeste.
18:35You don't know
18:36what you're saying.
18:37She abandoned Julian
18:38and threw herself
18:38at his worst rival.
18:40So shameless.
18:42A filler chasing
18:43the rival.
18:45What a disgrace
18:45to the family.
18:46Disgrace?
18:48You should ask
18:49who built the family
18:50you're standing in.
18:52You went to him
18:53right under
18:54everyone's eyes?
18:57See Julian?
18:58She never cared
18:59about us.
19:00She just wanted
19:00to humiliate you.
19:02Humiliate you?
19:04Julian you did that
19:05to yourself
19:05five years ago.
19:06Get her out!
19:07She's dragging
19:08this family's name
19:09through the mud!
19:11This will be
19:12all over the city
19:12by morning!
19:16Film all you want.
19:18The truth
19:18doesn't change
19:19with your headlines.
19:20Enough!
19:21Anyone who slanders
19:22her answers to me.
19:25Take my hand.
19:26Let them see
19:27I'm standing with you.
19:28Not like this.
19:29I can't let them say
19:30I won by hiding
19:31behind you.
19:32Look,
19:32even she knows
19:33she's nothing
19:34without a man
19:34to hide behind.
19:37She doesn't
19:37hide behind anyone.
19:39Watch her prove it.
19:42I'm sorry.
19:42I'm not ready
19:43to admit this yet.
19:46Effective today
19:47all her duties
19:48transfer to Celeste.
19:49Some people
19:50did the busy work
19:51for five years.
19:52It's time they rest.
19:54Of course.
19:55I'll hand everything
19:56over.
19:57Properly.
19:58She was never more
19:59than a glorified
20:00assistant anyway.
20:01Don't worry.
20:02I'll handle everything
20:04far better
20:05than she did.
20:07Let me walk you
20:08through every single
20:08step, Celeste.
20:09Here are the
20:10key processes.
20:12Follow them
20:13exactly
20:13and nothing
20:14breaks.
20:15This looks
20:16simple enough.
20:17I'll have it
20:17mastered in no time.
20:19Just remember,
20:21miss one step
20:22and the whole
20:23chain stalls.
20:25Speed it up.
20:26Celeste doesn't
20:26need the details.
20:27She's smarter
20:28than you.
20:30Then I'll trust you
20:32to fill in
20:32what I left out.
20:34All yours now.
20:35I hope it holds
20:36together for you.
20:37From now on,
20:38all of this is
20:39under my command.
20:40You can leave now.
20:41We have no further
20:42use for you here.
20:43No use?
20:43You'll find out
20:44soon enough
20:45what you just lost.
20:46Don't be bitter.
20:47I'll take such
20:48good care of
20:48everything you built.
20:51Take care of it?
20:52You don't even know
20:53which step
20:54holds it all up.
20:55Good luck running
20:56a machine
20:57when you don't
20:58hold the key.
21:01Wait,
21:02why isn't
21:03any of this
21:03working?
21:06This was supposed
21:07to be finalized.
21:08Why is everything
21:09stalled?
21:11Five years
21:12of busy work.
21:13Turns out
21:14it held
21:14everything together.
21:15Just follow
21:17the steps she left.
21:17It can't be this hard.
21:19Mr. Julian,
21:20if this isn't
21:21resolved now,
21:22our partnership
21:22is at risk.
21:24The chain stalled.
21:25I did warn you,
21:26miss one step.
21:27It all stops.
21:28I don't understand
21:29any of this.
21:30She made it impossible
21:30on purpose.
21:32Either someone
21:33who actually knows
21:33this fixes it now
21:35or we walk.
21:38They threw away
21:39the only one
21:40who could hold
21:40this together.
21:43How can the two
21:44of you not handle
21:44simple paperwork?
21:47This family
21:48clearly can't deliver.
21:49We're ending
21:49this meeting.
21:51Walk away,
21:52Mr. Victor,
21:54or ask
21:55who actually
21:56built this.
21:58You.
21:59You're the one
22:00who handled
22:00all of this,
22:01aren't you?
22:02She's nobody.
22:03She was just
22:04doing busy work.
22:05Ignore her.
22:06Explain why
22:06everything collapsed
22:07the moment
22:08you stepped away.
22:09There's nothing
22:10to explain.
22:11Celesta will fix it.
22:12Just give her time.
22:15Just tell me
22:15one thing.
22:16Can you make
22:17this work right now?
22:18Yes or no?
22:20You sabotaged
22:21this on purpose.
22:22Fix it now
22:23and hand over
22:24every access.
22:25Clean up your mess
22:26and surrender
22:26all remaining
22:27authority right now.
22:29Fine.
22:30Watch closely.
22:33This is what
22:34busy work really means.
22:36The bottleneck was here.
22:38Three steps
22:38everyone overlooked.
22:41She fixed in seconds
22:42what stalled
22:43the entire team
22:43for hours.
22:45This simple busy work
22:47is the spine
22:47of everything
22:48you stand on.
22:49She's the only one
22:49who can hold
22:50this together.
22:51How could you
22:52let her go?
22:53This means nothing.
22:55Anyone could have
22:55figured it out
22:56eventually.
22:57Eventually?
22:58Your partners
22:59were one minute
23:00from walking
23:01out the door.
23:02Just transfer
23:02all your access
23:03to Celeste
23:04and we'll handle
23:05the rest.
23:07I still don't
23:08understand how
23:09any of this connects.
23:10You want my access?
23:11You can't even
23:12read what you're holding.
23:14I'll only continue
23:14this partnership
23:15if she stays in charge.
23:17Fine.
23:19She'll oversee it.
23:20But it doesn't
23:21change her status here.
23:23Overseeing?
23:23No.
23:24From now on
23:25it works only
23:26on my terms.
23:27You'll hand over
23:28your authority
23:28eventually.
23:29Don't think
23:30this saves you.
23:31The choice is hers now.
23:33We deal with her
23:34not you.
23:35You want me
23:36to hand over power?
23:37Fine.
23:39But only
23:39if you can hold it.
23:41You sabotaged
23:43this on purpose.
23:44Fix it now
23:44and hand over
23:45every access.
23:47Clean up your mess
23:47and surrender
23:48all remaining authority.
23:49right now.
23:51Fine.
23:52Watch closely.
23:54This is what
23:55busy work
23:56really means.
23:57The bottleneck
23:58was here.
23:59Three steps

24:10She's the only one

24:15This means nothing.
24:17Anyone could have

24:19Eventually?
24:20Your partners
24:21were one minute
24:22from walking
24:22out the door.
24:23Just transfer
24:24all your access
24:25to Celeste
24:26and we'll handle
24:26the rest.
24:28I still don't
24:30understand how
24:30any of this
24:31connects.
24:31You want my
24:32access?
24:33You can't even
24:34read what you're
24:35holding.
24:35I'll only
24:36continue this
24:36partnership
24:37if she stays
24:38in charge.
24:39Fine.
24:40She'll oversee
24:41it.
24:42But it doesn't
24:43change her
24:43status here.
24:44Overseeing?
24:45No.
24:46From now on
24:47it works only
24:47on my terms.
24:48You'll hand
24:49over your

24:51Don't think
24:51this saves you.
24:53The choice
24:54is hers now.
24:55We deal with
24:56her, not you.
24:57You want me
24:57to hand over
24:58power?
24:59Fine.
25:00But only
25:01if you can
25:02hold it.
25:03Sign over
25:04everything.
25:04This ends
25:05today.
25:06Once and
25:07for all.
25:09There.
25:10Every signature
25:11you asked
25:11for.
25:12Satisfied?
25:13Congratulations.
25:14You now own
25:15a machine you
25:15can't switch
25:16on.
25:17Finally.
25:18You're out
25:19and there's
25:19nothing left
25:20for you here.
25:21See?
25:22In the end
25:23she had no
25:24choice but to
25:25give it all
25:25up.
25:27Give it up?
25:28Sweetheart.
25:29I just locked
25:30every door
25:31behind me.
25:32Sir, the
25:32core systems
25:33won't respond
25:33to anyone
25:34but her
25:34access.
25:36But she
25:37signed everything
25:37over to us,
25:38didn't she?
25:41You signed
25:42the papers
25:44but you
25:44never held
25:45the keys.
25:46What did
25:47you do?
25:49Unlock
25:49everything
25:50right now!
25:52I told you
25:53all, you
25:55can't hold
25:55what you
25:55don't understand.
25:56Threaten me
25:57all you want.
25:57The keys
25:58still answer
25:59only to me.
26:00Unlock it
26:00or we'll
26:01destroy what's
26:02left of your
26:02reputation!
26:04Just give them
26:05what they want!
26:05Why are you
26:06making this
26:06so hard?
26:10Destroy my
26:10reputation?
26:11Go ahead,
26:12the house
26:12falls the
26:13second I
26:13leave.
26:14You can't
26:15do this!
26:16You wouldn't
26:16dare bring the
26:17whole family
26:17down!
26:18Wouldn't I?
26:19you're the
26:20ones who
26:20taught me
26:20I have
26:21nothing
26:21left to
26:21lose.
26:22And the
26:22keys?
26:24They're the
26:24least of
26:25what I've
26:25locked away.
26:27Julian and
26:28I can
26:28finally be
26:29official and
26:30someone should
26:31bless us!
26:33You'll give us
26:34your blessing,
26:34won't you?
26:35It's only
26:36proper.
26:37A blessing?
26:38Of course.
26:39I'll even host
26:40the whole ritual
26:41myself.
26:42Raise your
26:43glass and hand
26:44over the title
26:45right here,
26:46right now.
26:48Make it
26:48quick.
26:49Step aside
26:50gracefully for
26:51once in your
26:51life.
26:52Gracefully?
26:53Don't worry.
26:55This will be a
26:55ritual no one
26:56forgets.
26:57Before I
26:58bless this
26:58union, let's
26:59all be very
27:00clear on the
27:00terms.
27:01Just say the
27:02blessing already,
27:03everyone's waiting
27:04for it.
27:05This blessing
27:06comes with one
27:07condition you
27:08all forgot to
27:09check.
27:09There are no
27:10conditions, just
27:11bless them and
27:11disappear!
27:12She's not
27:13surrendering, she's
27:15setting the
27:15stage.
27:17Disappear.
27:17After this
27:18ritual, you'll be
27:19begging me to
27:19stay.
27:20Stop stalling.
27:22Bless them or
27:22be dragged out in
27:23front of everyone!
27:24Why is she making
27:25my happy moment so
27:27difficult?
27:29Your happy moment?
27:31Let's see if it
27:32survives the truth.
27:33Enough games!
27:34Say the blessing
27:35this instant!
27:36Yes, say it!
27:37I can't wait to
27:38finally take my
27:39rightful place.
27:41Fine.
27:43Let me host
27:44this ritual and
27:46bless it with
27:46everything I know.
27:48Julian and I can
27:50finally be official
27:51and someone should
27:53bless us!
27:54You'll give us your
27:55blessing, won't you?
27:57It's only proper.
27:59A blessing?
28:00Of course.
28:01I'll even host the
28:02whole ritual myself.
28:04Raise your glass and
28:05hand over the title
28:06right here, right now.
28:09Make it quick.
28:11Step aside gracefully
28:12for once in your life.
28:14Gracefully?
28:15Don't worry.
28:16This will be a ritual
28:17no one forgets.
28:19Before I bless this
28:20union, let's all be
28:21very clear on the
28:22terms.
28:23Just say the blessing
28:24already.
28:25Everyone's waiting for
28:26it.
28:27This blessing comes
28:28with one condition
28:29you all forgot to
28:30check.
28:31There are no
28:31conditions!
28:32Just bless them and
28:33disappear!
28:34She's not surrendering.
28:36She's setting the
28:37stage.
28:38Disappear?
28:39After this ritual,
28:40you'll be begging me
28:41to stay.
28:42Stop stalling.
28:43Bless them or be
28:44dragged out in front
28:45of everyone!
28:46Why is she making my
28:47happy moment so
28:48difficult?
28:50Your happy moment?
28:52Let's see if it
28:53survives the truth.
28:54Enough games!
28:55Say the blessing
28:56this instant!
28:57Yes, say it!
28:59I can't wait to
28:59finally take my
29:00rightful place.
29:03Fine.
29:04Let me host this
29:06ritual and bless it
29:08with everything I
29:09know.
29:10Since you want to
29:11reclaim the seat,
29:12let me count how
29:13long this house
29:14lasts without me.
29:15Every contract,
29:17every system,
29:17they only run
29:18because I kept
29:19them running.
29:20Take your seat
29:21back, Celesta,
29:22and watch the
29:23whole house
29:24crumble under
29:24you.
29:25That's ridiculous!
29:26Anyone can manage
29:27a few contracts?
29:28Then name one
29:29core process.
29:30Just one.
29:32Right now.
29:33In front of
29:34everyone.
29:35I don't need to
29:36prove anything to
29:37you.
29:38The systems can
29:38be retrained.
29:39She's not
29:40irreplaceable!
29:41Retrain?
29:42The moment she
29:42sits down,
29:43every partner
29:44walks.
29:44You'll be
29:45empty in a
29:45week.
29:46The seat she
29:47wants is the
29:48seat that ends
29:48this family.
29:50Still want me
29:51to bless it?
29:51Stop spreading
29:52lies!
29:52You're just
29:53trying to
29:53scare everyone!
29:56She's not
29:57scaring anyone.
29:58She's telling
29:59you what you
30:00refuse to see.
30:01Lies?
30:02Pull me out,
30:03and you'll
30:04watch your
30:05empire fall by
30:05sundown.
30:08This is
30:09supposed to
30:09be my
30:10moment!
30:11Why is she
30:11ruining
30:12everything?
30:13Your moment?
30:14This was never
30:15a coronation.
30:16It's a warning
30:17for all of you.
30:20I've blessed
30:20it.
30:21Now, does
30:22anyone still
30:22dare to drink?
30:23This proves
30:24nothing!
30:24We'll find a
30:25way to
30:26replace you!
30:26Replace her?
30:27You couldn't
30:28even keep up
30:29with what she
30:29just said.
30:30No one's
30:31drinking?
30:32Then this
30:33blessing is
30:34just the
30:34beginning of
30:34what I
30:35know.
30:36Young lady,
30:38tell me
30:38exactly what
30:39you hold
30:40over this
30:40family.
30:41The family's
30:41lifeline runs
30:42through one
30:42final lock,
30:43and only I
30:44hold the
30:44key.
30:45Remove me,
30:46and that
30:46lock seals
30:46forever.
30:47Then nothing
30:48you own will
30:49ever open
30:49again.
30:50If what you
30:51say is true,
30:52this changes
30:52everything we
30:53planned today.
30:55Grandfather,
30:56don't believe
30:56her!
30:57She's bluffing
30:57to save
30:58herself!
30:59Bluffing?
31:00Then sit
31:00her in my
31:01seat tonight
31:02and watch
31:03it all
31:03stop by
31:04morning.
31:05Grandfather,
31:06she's
31:06manipulating
31:06you.
31:07We don't
31:07need her.
31:09No one
31:10in this
31:11family ever
31:12understood
31:12the lifeline
31:13like she
31:14does.
31:15I didn't
31:16come to
31:16beg for
31:16a seat.
31:17I came
31:17to remind
31:18you who
31:18built it.
31:19Father,
31:20you can't
31:20let an
31:21outsider
31:21threaten
31:21us like
31:22this.
31:22An
31:22outsider?
31:23She's
31:23done more
31:24for this
31:24house than
31:24any of
31:25you born
31:25into it.
31:26This
31:26whole
31:26win,
31:27I did
31:28it without
31:28anyone fighting
31:29for me.
31:30Remember
31:30that?
31:32She doesn't
31:33want to be
31:33saved,
31:33she wants
31:34to win
31:34it herself.
31:35The ceremony
31:36is suspended,
31:37no one
31:37touches her
31:38position,
31:38not today.
31:40You stayed
31:41back,
31:42and that's
31:42exactly why
31:43I could
31:43win this
31:43alone.
31:44This
31:44isn't fair!
31:45I came
31:46back for
31:46my place
31:47and she
31:47stole it
31:48again!
31:48This
31:49victory was
31:49always going
31:50to be
31:50hers,
31:51every part
31:51of it.
31:52He didn't
31:53take a
31:53single step,
31:54he just
31:56let me
31:57be enough.
32:01let me
32:01walk you
32:02out,
32:02you've
32:02done
32:02enough
32:02fighting
32:03today.
32:05Thank
32:05you,
32:06but there's
32:06nothing
32:07between
32:07us,
32:08whatever
32:08they're
32:08saying.
32:10I walk
32:10out the
32:11same way
32:11I won,
32:12on my
32:12own.
32:13See?
32:13She's
32:14already
32:14using him
32:15to climb
32:15back up.
32:20Why
32:20push me
32:21away in
32:21front of
32:21all of
32:21them?
32:23Because
32:23every step
32:24closer to
32:24you costs
32:25you your
32:25name.
32:25I don't
32:26care what
32:27they say
32:27about me.
32:28I never
32:28have.
32:30I care.
32:31They'll
32:32twist my
32:32whole fight
32:33into she
32:33only one
32:34because of
32:34you.
32:37I won't
32:38let them
32:38turn your
32:38name into
32:39the reason
32:39they doubt
32:40mine.
32:40So pushing
32:41me away,
32:42it's never
32:43been about
32:43not wanting
32:43me.
32:46Then I'll
32:47respect your
32:47choice,
32:48even when it
32:49kills me
32:49too.
32:50Thank you
32:51for not
32:51making this
32:52harder than
32:52it already
32:53is.
32:53But know
32:54this,
32:54the day
32:55you stop
32:55pushing,
32:57I'll still
32:57be here.
32:59Don't
32:59wait for
33:00me.
33:00I have a
33:01war to
33:01finish first.
33:02Then finish
33:03it.
33:04I'll be
33:04watching you
33:05win from
33:06a distance.
33:07Fine.
33:08If I
33:09can't take
33:09the title,
33:10I'll take
33:10the one
33:10thing she
33:11really
33:11guards.
33:14The
33:15lifeline.
33:16That's what
33:17she'd never
33:18let go of,
33:18so that's
33:19exactly what
33:20I'll take.
