00:00:01Who's there?

00:00:08Son of Thunder. All alone up here on the mountain. Aren't you lonely?

00:00:15Don't touch me.

00:00:17You're way too rough. My heart hurts. Aren't you gonna rub it for me?

00:00:24This is charcoal powder from the sacred oak tree struck by that old bastard Zeus. It cures everything.

00:00:30It's got your spit on it. It's demigod spit. It boosts the potency. What's wrong with that?

00:00:36Hey, try it. It really works. Ungrateful.

00:00:44Bump! Idiot!

00:00:47Elder, what did I do this time?

00:00:49800 gold coins. I went out of my way to find a top-tier siren just to test flirtation skills

00:00:55for the mortal world.

00:00:56And you actually tried to feed her your spit-filled mudballs?

00:01:00If it weren't for those golden lightning patterns, who would ever think you're the son of that old horned dog

00:01:04Zeus?

00:01:05You call that top plan? She smelled like expired canned fish.

00:01:08Wait, what did you just say? The mortal world?

00:01:12Cut the crap and get hell down to the mortal realm.

00:01:15Your trial to mass Zeus power lies with the nine muses.

00:01:18Unlock the divine sigils on them and win their approval.

00:01:21Not happening.

00:01:24You don't have a choice.

00:01:25Why the hell do I want that old man's power anyway to be a breeding stallion?

00:01:30Friendly heads up, I went ahead and took care of that old debt down in the mortal world for you

00:01:35too.

00:01:35If I don't send you down there now, Hera's people are going to find you sooner or later.

00:01:39Go to the mortal world, kid.

00:01:41At least you'll live a few days longer.

00:01:51The mortal world's welcome ceremony is pretty aggressive.

00:01:55This is the mortal world? Did Cassian mention debt just now?

00:01:58Welcome to the mortal world, Master Adam.

00:02:00Who the hell are you?

00:02:01That old scammer-cation actually provides customer support?

00:02:03The Olympus proxy for mortal affairs.

00:02:05I'm just here to remind you that trouble is already at your doorstep.

00:02:09I just landed, haven't even dusted myself off yet. What trouble?

00:02:11The first sigil keeper is already on her way.

00:02:13Not interested. Tell her to book an appointment, preferably in her next life.

00:02:16Her name is Selina Sterling, the CEO of Sterling Biology Group.

00:02:20The first lightning sigil is on her, but she has no idea.

00:02:23She doesn't know? Nope.

00:02:24All she knows is that the Sterling family holds an ancient marriage contract,

00:02:27and the lightning ring will choose her legal husband.

00:02:29So she knows nothing about Olympus, the signals, or who I am?

00:02:33Exactly.

00:02:34Perfect. Then I don't know who she is either.

00:02:37But your name is already written on the contract.

00:02:42She's here.

00:02:44Your tone makes this sound like the start of a horror movie.

00:02:47Hey! Don't run!

00:02:49Why is everyone from Olympia so damn good at passing the buck?

00:02:57You must be Adam.

00:02:59And you must be the woman who brought a whole fleet just to kidnap a man.

00:03:02You better watch your mouth and show some respect.

00:03:04You're blocking my front door and telling me to have manners?

00:03:07The rules in the mortal world are pretty damn tyrannous.

00:03:17I don't know who you are, and I don't care where you came from.

00:03:20But the lightning ring has lit up, and your name has appeared on the Sterling family's ancient marriage contract.

00:03:26Starting tonight, you are my husband.

00:03:28Husband?

00:03:30Do proposals in the mortal world always involve bodyguards in a safe?

00:03:33Is this a marriage contract or an armored transport?

00:03:35The Cross family is forcing me into a marriage alliance.

00:03:38If I don't have a legal husband by tonight, they will use a board clause to strip me of Sterling

00:03:42biological health.

00:03:43Sounds like you need a lawyer, not me.

00:03:45The family contract wouldn't just choose you for no reason.

00:03:47I don't know why, but I will find out.

00:03:50Now, come with me.

00:03:51Pass.

00:03:52Hey!

00:03:55No!

00:03:56Watch out!

00:03:56I just got here!

00:03:57I don't even have insurance yet!

00:04:00I didn't see anything!

00:04:01It was an accident!

00:04:03I have zero interest in knowing what's inside your box!

00:04:08You pervert!

00:04:10How dare you try to take advantage of Selena!

00:04:12She tripped me!

00:04:14This is next-level entrapment!

00:04:18My eyes are closed.

00:04:21Olympus can be my witness, even though their credit score is pretty terrible.

00:04:25Let-let go of me!

00:04:27Hold on, don't hit me yet.

00:04:29I already got struck by lightning once today.

00:04:31I'm really not in the mood for your slap.

00:04:33Let go!

00:04:35Watch out!

00:04:36Psycho!

00:04:37I literally had my eyes closed trying to help!

00:04:40Is the fabric quality in the mortal world always this feep?

00:04:43So this is what you call an ancient marriage contract?

00:04:47It's kinky as hell.

00:04:48I'm going to kill you today!

00:04:50That's enough, Ava!

00:04:53Adam, I'm running out of patience.

00:04:56What do you want?

00:04:57Let's get one thing straight.

00:04:58I am not signing any weird clauses.

00:05:01Either you agree to be my legal husband right now,

00:05:06or I will drag you back to the Sterling Estate, lock you in a room,

00:05:09and you won't be getting out of bed for three days and three nights

00:05:13until this marriage is fully consummated.

00:05:19Three days and three nights?

00:05:22Consummated?

00:05:23What do you take me for?

00:05:24My legal husband.

00:05:26No way!

00:05:27Not happening!

00:05:29Not in this lifetime!

00:05:30I just got kicked down from the mountain!

00:05:32Not thrown into a forced marriage!

00:05:36Mr. Adam, friendly reminder.

00:05:39The further you are from the first signal keeper,

00:05:41the harsher the backlash from the lightning signals will be.

00:05:45You didn't mention that earlier.

00:05:46Well, you weren't exactly in the mood to listen.

00:05:48Is customer service always this garbage on Olympus?

00:05:52What's wrong with you?

00:05:53Nothing.

00:05:54The air in the mortal world is just too damn expensive.

00:05:56I'm having a hard time adjusting.

00:05:58Want me to help you adjust?

00:06:01No thanks.

00:06:02Fine.

00:06:03Husband it is.

00:06:04I'll do it.

00:06:05But I'm warning you, no funny business.

00:06:07And keep those mortal torture actions from your box the hell away from me.

00:06:12Wait a minute!

00:06:13What are you doing?

00:06:13I already said yes!

00:06:14Why is there still an escort protocol?

00:06:19I can walk!

00:06:20Are you seriously drafting both of my legs

00:06:22before I even officially marry into the family?

00:06:27What are you doing?

00:06:28Let me tell you.

00:06:29This counts as secondary trauma.

00:06:31Shutting you up.

00:06:40The way you mortals welcome a husband

00:06:41feels a lot like processing a war criminal.

00:06:44Sukyu, get him the vitality meal immediately.

00:06:47Oysters, venison, protein shakes, and herbal boosters.

00:06:50Bring it all.

00:06:51Right away, ma'am.

00:06:52I'll arrange it.

00:06:52Whoa, what are you trying to do?

00:06:53I signed a marriage contract,

00:06:55not a medical enhancement package.

00:06:56Just making sure the contract picked the right man.

00:06:58I'm warning you.

00:06:59Don't do anything crazy.

00:07:01Even ancient contracts have to respect modern laws.

00:07:03I have company business to attend to.

00:07:05Explore the place.

00:07:06Stay out of trouble.

00:07:07When I come back tonight,

00:07:09I'll deal with you properly.

00:07:10Hey.

00:07:13I'll have the bodyguards keep a close eye on him.

00:07:16As expected of a CEO,

00:07:19this place is even better at wasting money

00:07:21than the Divine Temples.

00:07:27Why is there a man in the estate?

00:07:29Who the hell are you?

00:07:31Don't scream.

00:07:32My eyes are completely closed for business right now.

00:07:35Close your fingers.

00:07:36Stop looking.

00:07:37My fingers are practically welded together.

00:07:39How about you cover up first,

00:07:40and then we can interrogate each other.

00:07:42How dare you say that?

00:07:44Turn around.

00:07:44Don't you dare look back.

00:07:46My clothes are on the couch.

00:07:47Throw them to me fast.

00:07:48Are we good?

00:07:49There's one more piece.

00:07:50Which one?

00:07:52It's right in the cushion crack.

00:07:54Just look for it.

00:07:54You call this clothes?

00:07:56This is literally just a couple of strings.

00:07:59Just throw it over.

00:08:01Okay, Spill.

00:08:02Who the hell are you?

00:08:03How did you break into my sister's estate?

00:08:05Hey.

00:08:06Don't frame an innocent guy.

00:08:09If anyone broke in,

00:08:10it was your sister who kidnapped me

00:08:11from my lakeside cabin.

00:08:13My sister would never just bring

00:08:14a random man home.

00:08:15She certainly wasn't random about it.

00:08:17She literally made me her husband.

00:08:19You are full of crap.

00:08:20Go ask her yourself.

00:08:22She even ordered oysters,

00:08:23venison, and protein shakes for me,

00:08:25saying she'd verify if the contract

00:08:26picked the right guy tonight.

00:08:28You.

00:08:32Hey!

00:08:32Don't faint on me.

00:08:33I wasn't even done talking.

00:08:35Frigid blood syndrome?

00:08:37Does this family marriage contract

00:08:39come with a complimentary ER package?

00:08:41Swallow it.

00:08:43Charcoal powder from the oak tree

00:08:44struck by Zeus,

00:08:45this is more than enough

00:08:46to suppress your cold core.

00:08:51Hang in there.

00:08:52I'll suppress the cold core

00:08:53for you first.

00:08:54What do you think you're doing?

00:08:55Let go of the second young lady,

00:08:57you creep!

00:08:57She was dying.

00:08:58I'm saving her life.

00:08:59Does your security training

00:09:01not teach you

00:09:01how to read a situation?

00:09:07Captain?

00:09:08Captain?

00:09:09There's a man over here

00:09:10holding the second young lady.

00:09:11We can't get near him.

00:09:17Calling for backup again?

00:09:19Is your medical protocol

00:09:20to beat up the doctor first?

00:09:24What's going on here?

00:09:26That man won't let go

00:09:26of the second young lady.

00:09:27We have no idea

00:09:28what he's doing

00:09:28and we can't break through.

00:09:30The second young lady's

00:09:31frigid blood syndrome

00:09:32is flaring up.

00:09:32We need to handle this now

00:09:33or things will get critical.

00:09:35Notify Miss Selena immediately.

00:09:36Tell her to get the medical team

00:09:37over here right away.

00:09:39Yes, ma'am.

00:09:40The rest of you,

00:09:41with me.

00:09:42I don't care how tough he is,

00:09:43he can't take all of us.

00:09:46I highly suggest

00:09:47you believe I can.

00:09:51Like I said,

00:09:52a little faith

00:09:53saves you a lot of pain.

00:09:55Miss Selena,

00:09:56there's someone in the estate.

00:09:57Someone what?

00:09:58Someone is saving

00:09:59your second young lady's life.

00:10:01Don't,

00:10:01don't come any closer.

00:10:02Unbelievable.

00:10:03Here, take it back.

00:10:04Let the expert do his work

00:10:05even if I'm not

00:10:06technically a doctor.

00:10:12Wasn't I just having an attack?

00:10:14How am I completely fine?

00:10:16Mrs. Ivy,

00:10:17the cold core

00:10:18has penetrated deep

00:10:19into your bone marrow.

00:10:20Normal medication

00:10:20can only delay it.

00:10:21It cannot cure it.

00:10:23Is there really

00:10:23no other way?

00:10:24Unless you find a man

00:10:25with an exceptionally

00:10:26high thermal core

00:10:27for a close contact

00:10:29thermal exchange.

00:10:30Close contact?

00:10:31The closer,

00:10:32the more powerful

00:10:32the effect.

00:10:38You absolute

00:10:40bastard!

00:10:45Let's use our words.

00:10:46Don't slap the guy

00:10:47who just saved your life

00:10:48the second you wake up.

00:10:49You jerk!

00:10:50You actually did

00:10:52that to me

00:10:53while I was unconscious?

00:10:54Did what?

00:10:56Does saving a life

00:10:57automatically come

00:10:58with a criminal record?

00:10:59Stop playing dumb!

00:11:00The doctor said

00:11:01my syndrome

00:11:01could only be relieved

00:11:02through a close contact

00:11:03thermal exchange.

00:11:04Now that I'm fine,

00:11:05neat, you must...

00:11:06I use my thermal energy

00:11:07to push down your cold core.

00:11:08I didn't touch you.

00:11:09Really?

00:11:10Whether you've been touched

00:11:11or not,

00:11:11shouldn't you be the one

00:11:12who knows?

00:11:13Stop pinning everything

00:11:13on me.

00:11:14Aizing Sedain

00:11:15may saddle with your

00:11:16obsessive

00:11:16by a massive contract.

00:11:19It actually

00:11:21doesn't hurt anymore.

00:11:22I save you

00:11:23and you call me a bastard.

00:11:24Does the Sterling family

00:11:25specifically train you guys

00:11:27to be ungrateful?

00:11:28What are you planning now

00:11:29on developing

00:11:30a serious trauma response

00:11:31to Sterling?

00:11:31A normal heat source

00:11:32can only do so much.

00:11:33You didn't even get close

00:11:34yet you suppressed

00:11:34my cold core completely.

00:11:36What kind of freak anatomy

00:11:37do you have?

00:11:37A living one.

00:11:38The doctor said

00:11:38only a pure ultra-high

00:11:39thermal core

00:11:40could pull this off.

00:11:40Are you one of those

00:11:41completely untouched

00:11:42premium high heat bodies?

00:11:43What do you mean untouched?

00:11:44As in...

00:11:46You've never been

00:11:47with a woman.

00:11:48You know...

00:11:49A virgin.

00:11:50What's wrong

00:11:51with never being

00:11:51with a woman?

00:11:52What's wrong

00:11:53with being a virgin?

00:11:54Is being clean

00:11:54a crime nowadays?

00:11:56Keep talking like that

00:11:57and there won't be

00:11:58a second rescue.

00:12:01You...

00:12:02let go of me first.

00:12:03Then stop running

00:12:04your mouth.

00:12:08You're...

00:12:08so warm.

00:12:09Hold it!

00:12:10Stay back!

00:12:10I just cleared my name

00:12:11from one charge.

00:12:12I am not catching

00:12:13a second one immediately.

00:12:14You dare do anything

00:12:15out of line!

00:12:16I'll have my sister

00:12:17break you!

00:12:20She was the one

00:12:21moving in on me.

00:12:22Mortal women...

00:12:23their logic is harder

00:12:25to dodge

00:12:25than a heavenly

00:12:26tribulation.

00:12:27Got it.

00:12:27Have the security team

00:12:28stand down.

00:12:29Ivy had another attack.

00:12:31What?

00:12:31Adam was there.

00:12:32Security said

00:12:33he did something

00:12:34to wake her up.

00:12:35On top of that,

00:12:36a dozen guards

00:12:36couldn't even lay

00:12:37a finger on him.

00:12:38A dozen?

00:12:38Those are elite

00:12:39private contractors

00:12:40we specifically hired

00:12:41he blocked all of them?

00:12:43It looks like

00:12:44he's definitely

00:12:45not ordinary.

00:12:46Are you seriously

00:12:46keeping him around?

00:12:48The Cross family

00:12:49isn't going to back off.

00:12:50The contract picked him

00:12:51and he happens

00:12:52to be highly capable.

00:12:53We keep him for now.

00:12:55Are you actually

00:12:56going to wear that?

00:12:58The contract requires

00:12:59confirmation

00:12:59of the husband's identity.

00:13:01Since he keeps dodging,

00:13:02I'll just have to

00:13:03make the first move.

00:13:04Selina,

00:13:05don't you think

00:13:05this is a bit

00:13:06it's strictly business.

00:13:11Mr. Adam,

00:13:12here is the

00:13:12vitality meal

00:13:13Mrs. Selina ordered.

00:13:17Incredible power.

00:13:24Are you okay?

00:13:25My bad,

00:13:26I thought I was

00:13:26being ambushed.

00:13:27This estate hasn't

00:13:27felt like a safe zone

00:13:28since the moment

00:13:29I walked in.

00:13:29So hard.

00:13:31So tamed.

00:13:32Whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:13:32Cut that out.

00:13:33I'm currently highly

00:13:34allergic to the concept

00:13:35of physical contact.

00:13:36No wonder

00:13:37Mrs. Selina

00:13:37was so desperate

00:13:38to drag you back.

00:13:40Why did she lock

00:13:40onto me as a husband

00:13:41the second we met?

00:13:42Am I some kind

00:13:43of promotional giveaway

00:13:44for an ancient contract?

00:13:45Why am I so high

00:13:46in demand?

00:13:47Well, that's because.

00:13:50Because what?

00:13:52Come a little closer

00:13:54and I'll whisper it to you.

00:14:02What exactly

00:14:03do you think

00:14:03you two are doing?

00:14:06What is the deal

00:14:07with that outfit?

00:14:08What are you trying

00:14:08to achieve?

00:14:10Why are you two

00:14:11standing so close?

00:14:13Let me clear

00:14:13things up first.

00:14:14She literally grabbed

00:14:15my hand and pulled

00:14:16it there.

00:14:17Sukyu, he belongs

00:14:18to me.

00:14:19What do you think

00:14:19you were doing

00:14:20just now?

00:14:21Ma'am, I didn't

00:14:21do anything.

00:14:22I just came in

00:14:23to deliver the

00:14:23vitality meal,

00:14:24took a little spill

00:14:25and Mr. Adam

00:14:26was nice enough

00:14:27to catch me.

00:14:27Wow, turns out

00:14:28the house staff

00:14:29comes in a green tea

00:14:30flavor.

00:14:30I'm just a simple

00:14:31assistant housekeeper.

00:14:32I wouldn't dare

00:14:33covet my lady's

00:14:34husband.

00:14:35Is my outfit

00:14:35not working?

00:14:36Why isn't he

00:14:37looking at me?

00:14:38Time to vanish.

00:14:39They're interrogating

00:14:39each other.

00:14:40They probably won't

00:14:41notice the evidence

00:14:41slipping away.

00:14:43Freeze!

00:14:44Adam, settle this.

00:14:45Who's hotter?

00:14:46Me or Suki?

00:14:48I...

00:14:50Who's shooting?

00:14:51Where are you

00:14:52looking?

00:14:52The gun is outside,

00:14:53not on me.

00:14:54Can the Sterling

00:14:54estate please

00:14:55respect basic

00:14:55vocabulary?

00:14:56Lena, I love

00:14:57you.

00:14:58Lena, marry me!

00:15:00I know you're

00:15:02in here.

00:15:02Ugh, him again.

00:15:03Just give me a sign

00:15:05and I'll wait out

00:15:06here forever.

00:15:07Is this your

00:15:08hardcore stalker?

00:15:09Tell me about it.

00:15:10Relying on the

00:15:11cross-family fortune,

00:15:12he's been harassing

00:15:12our lady for six

00:15:13months.

00:15:14We can't shake

00:15:14him off.

00:15:15Classic soap opera.

00:15:17The rich prick

00:15:17trying to force a

00:15:18woman into marriage

00:15:19using family leverage.

00:15:20How about you

00:15:20leave this guy to me?

00:15:21If I get rid of him

00:15:22for you, can we

00:15:22shave a day off

00:15:23that three-day

00:15:23and three-night lock-up?

00:15:24You're seriously

00:15:25negotiating that

00:15:26right now?

00:15:26Do you have any

00:15:27idea who he is?

00:15:28He's the second

00:15:28son of the

00:15:29cross-family.

00:15:29With their power,

00:15:30ruining you

00:15:31would be effortless.

00:15:31So, he's a

00:15:32massive pain in

00:15:33the ass, right?

00:15:34An absolute

00:15:35nightmare.

00:15:36Say less.

00:15:36Leave it to me.

00:15:37I'll handle him

00:15:38right now, and I

00:15:39guarantee he won't

00:15:40be bothering you

00:15:41anytime soon.

00:15:49Selina, if loving

00:15:50you is a crime, I'll

00:15:51happily serve a life

00:15:52sentence.

00:15:53Selina, the second

00:15:54you appear, my heart

00:15:54rate goes crazier than

00:15:55the estate security

00:15:56alarms.

00:15:57Selina, without you, my

00:15:58life is like a phone

00:15:58with zero bears, completely

00:16:00disconnected.

00:16:02The cross-family's golden

00:16:04boy is back at it.

00:16:05Six months of this, rain or

00:16:08shine, he shows up on

00:16:10the dot, more reliable

00:16:11than the landscapers.

00:16:12Is this how rich guys

00:16:13show affection?

00:16:14It's exhausting.

00:16:16What can we do?

00:16:16He's a cross.

00:16:17Our lady can't exactly

00:16:18start an open war with

00:16:19them.

00:16:20Selina, if loving you

00:16:21requires a reservation, I'm

00:16:23down to wait until my

00:16:24next incarnation.

00:16:26Selina, if loving you

00:16:27requires a reservation, I'm

00:16:30down to wait until my

00:16:31next incarnation.

00:16:33We're telling you to be

00:16:34a wonder if they actually

00:16:34have got more to the

00:16:36old back of.

00:16:38This garbage is louder

00:16:39than an Olympian

00:16:40tribulation.

00:16:41At least the lightning

00:16:42doesn't line.

00:16:42Mr. Adam, where do you

00:16:43think you're going?

00:16:44Taking out the trash.

00:16:45Mr. Adam, you can't go

00:16:46out there.

00:16:46That's the cross-family

00:16:47heir.

00:16:48He uses his family clout

00:16:49to harass our lady

00:16:50daily.

00:16:50Nobody dares cross him.

00:16:52Look at those guys

00:16:52around him.

00:16:53They are elite mercenaries.

00:16:55You don't stand a chance.

00:16:58Just them?

00:16:59They aren't normal

00:17:01people.

00:17:02Perfect.

00:17:03I'm not a normal

00:17:04husband.

00:17:06Mr. Adam.

00:17:12Selina, I knew you'd

00:17:18littering in a noise

00:17:19violation.

00:17:19That'll be a $500 fine.

00:17:23Who the hell are you?

00:17:25How dare you clip my

00:17:26flower?

00:17:26A $500 fine?

00:17:28You've lost your damn

00:17:28mind.

00:17:29Wait a minute.

00:17:29You just walked out of

00:17:30the Sterling estate?

00:17:31Men aren't even allowed

00:17:32past the gate.

00:17:33Even her male drivers

00:17:34have to wait outside.

00:17:35What the hell were you

00:17:35doing inside?

00:17:36Rules are rigid.

00:17:37People are flexible.

00:17:38I'm Selina's contract

00:17:39husband.

00:17:39I have full clearance.

00:17:41You?

00:17:41Selina's husband?

00:17:42Go find a mirror, pal.

00:17:43You aren't even in her

00:17:44league.

00:17:44The mirror had zero

00:17:45objections.

00:17:46You, on the other hand,

00:17:46have way too many.

00:17:48Do you have any idea who I

00:17:49am?

00:17:49Do you know who my father

00:17:50is?

00:17:50One word for me and you're

00:17:51completely erased from this

00:17:52city.

00:17:52Crying to daddy the second

00:17:53things go wrong?

00:17:54The cross family forget to

00:17:55wean you before handing you

00:17:56an empire?

00:17:56You're dead meat!

00:17:58What the hell are you

00:17:58waiting for?

00:17:59Kill him!

00:18:02Those are top-tier cross

00:18:04family enforcers.

00:18:05And he just liquidated them

00:18:06like it was nothing?

00:18:08That's no wait.

00:18:09Turns out our contract

00:18:10husband is a lot more

00:18:11than just a pretty face.

00:18:13Stay.

00:18:14Stay back.

00:18:15If you touch me, my father

00:18:16will personally hunt you

00:18:17down!

00:18:17Your dad sounds exhausting.

00:18:19First he has to erase

00:18:21people, now he has to

00:18:22avenge your fragile ego.

00:18:23Does he actually know

00:18:24how much you depend on

00:18:25him?

00:18:25Shut your mouth!

00:18:28Shit, he brought a gun.

00:18:29We really should have

00:18:29pinned him down and run a

00:18:30field test back in the

00:18:31room.

00:18:31I don't care how fast

00:18:32your fists are.

00:18:33Can you outrun a bullet?

00:18:35You brought a gun to a

00:18:35proposal?

00:18:36No wonder Selena treats

00:18:37you like background noise.

00:18:39Let's see if your head is

00:18:40harder than iron.

00:18:49How is this even

00:18:50possible?

00:18:52Tastes mediocre.

00:18:54Did you buy these rounds on

00:18:55clearance?

00:18:56They feel a bit damp.

00:18:57Bullshit!

00:18:58You got lucky once!

00:19:00Let's see you do it again!

00:19:03That's it.

00:19:04Lots of noise.

00:19:06Zero substance.

00:19:10Ma'am, you hit the jackpot.

00:19:13This contract husband is an

00:19:15absolute beast.

00:19:17The gun's defective!

00:19:19Bring out the heavy gear!

00:19:27Let's see you catch this.

00:19:36He's officially Swiss cheese.

00:19:37This is military grade.

00:19:38Military gun punches

00:19:39straight through armored

00:19:40pleating.

00:19:40If he's still breathing,

00:19:41I'll chop my own head off

00:19:41and use it as a soccer ball.

00:19:42I'm holding you to that.

00:19:47You're still alive?

00:19:49Impossible!

00:19:50Nobody survived that kind of

00:19:52firepower!

00:19:52Completely unscathed!

00:19:54Ow!

00:19:55Ow!

00:19:59This is insane!

00:20:00It's military grade steel!

00:20:02Got anything else?

00:20:03If it's not,

00:20:03I'm going back to sleep.

00:20:06Didn't you just say that if I

00:20:08survived,

00:20:09you'd rip your head off

00:20:09and kick it around?

00:20:12No!

00:20:12Wait, wait!

00:20:13My bad!

00:20:15I swear I'll never

00:20:16come near Selena again!

00:20:20Keep that promise.

00:20:22Next time I see you near her,

00:20:25it won't be the gun

00:20:26that gets broken.

00:20:27Who the hell are you?

00:20:28Adam.

00:20:30Selena's legal husband.

00:20:32She validated herself.

00:20:33Got it memorized?

00:20:34You're going to pay for this!

00:20:36I will destroy you!

00:20:37Just you wait!

00:20:38I'll be back with a vengeance!

00:20:40Hey!

00:20:41We forgot your ride!

00:20:52You made it from the driveway

00:20:53to the bedroom remarkably fast.

00:20:55Long legs.

00:20:57Plus,

00:20:58I was not trying to linger

00:20:59in the scent of gunpowder.

00:21:01You have completely

00:21:03offended

00:21:04the Cross family.

00:21:06He drew down on me first.

00:21:08The Cross family

00:21:09does not give a damn

00:21:09about logic.

00:21:11Taylor is just

00:21:11the second son.

00:21:12He has got a father

00:21:14and an older brother

00:21:14backing him up.

00:21:15I can tell them to line up.

00:21:16One by one is just

00:21:17a massive waste of my time.

00:21:19Arrogant.

00:21:19I like it.

00:21:21Until it's fully verified,

00:21:22the promissory isn't going to stop.

00:21:23It's way too late

00:21:23to back out now.

00:21:24Meaning?

00:21:27Should I exit the premises?

00:21:30Get out.

00:21:32Best of luck,

00:21:34contract husband.

00:21:36Wait a second!

00:21:37I haven't consented

00:21:37to this preparation yet!

00:21:39Get ready.

00:21:40Now.

00:21:42Cassian!

00:21:42I'd rather go back

00:21:43and pay off the damn debt!

00:21:49Being a contract husband

00:21:50is a brutal gig.

00:21:52An entire night of labor

00:21:53and my dignity

00:21:54is valued at exactly

00:21:55200 bucks.

00:21:57I made more money

00:21:58selling my sacred mud balls.

00:21:59This industry is worse

00:22:01than hard labor

00:22:01in the temples.

00:22:05Morning, Mr. Adams.

00:22:07Miss Alina left

00:22:07for the office early,

00:22:08but she explicitly mentioned

00:22:10you have full clearance

00:22:11for free time today.

00:22:14Of course,

00:22:15if you don't feel like

00:22:16exploring alone,

00:22:17you could always explore

00:22:18with me instead.

00:22:20No thanks!

00:22:21I'm terrified the Sterlings

00:22:22will clip another marriage contract

00:22:23onto my record!

00:22:25Such a waste.

00:22:26We have plenty of time.

00:22:32I must still be dreaming.

00:22:36Execute your mission

00:22:37in the mortal world properly.

00:22:38Olympus provides

00:22:39zero funding.

00:22:40Cabin repossessed.

00:22:41No slacking.

00:22:42Cassian.

00:22:42Are you kidding me?

00:22:43Even the bed?

00:22:44That old bastard's

00:22:45aggressively cheap!

00:22:46Bear warning,

00:22:46I've also taken over

00:22:47that old mortal debt of-

00:22:48Shit.

00:22:49How many outstanding debts

00:22:50did he drop on me?

00:22:51200 a day?

00:22:53Nine divine sigils?

00:22:55Nine keepers?

00:22:56How long am I supposed

00:22:57to grind this out?

00:22:58No way.

00:22:59At this rate,

00:23:00I'll be permanently chained

00:23:01into a mortal marriage contract.

00:23:05Looks like it's time

00:23:06to put this back

00:23:07on the market.

00:23:11Since Olympus

00:23:12cut my funding,

00:23:13I'll fund myself.

00:23:18Son of a bitch!

00:23:20That piece of garbage,

00:23:21Adam and Selina,

00:23:22I'm going to

00:23:23completely liquidate them!

00:23:24Taylor,

00:23:24is your only reaction

00:23:25to a problem

00:23:26running home

00:23:26and smashing furniture?

00:23:28If you can't keep

00:23:29your composure,

00:23:30how do you expect

00:23:31to remain

00:23:31the second son

00:23:32of this family?

00:23:34Victor,

00:23:35you're here!

00:23:35You have no idea

00:23:36how badly I got

00:23:37humiliated today!

00:23:37Selina found

00:23:38some generic contract

00:23:39husband and he

00:23:40completely wiped out

00:23:40my security detail!

00:23:42He liquidated

00:23:42the entire detail?

00:23:43Every single one!

00:23:44The guy is a

00:23:45straight-up freak!

00:23:46He literally caught

00:23:47bullets with his bare hands

00:23:48and crushed a heavy

00:23:48tactical rotary gun

00:23:49into scrap metal!

00:23:52Interesting.

00:23:53What's his name?

00:23:55Adam.

00:23:56The contract husband?

00:23:59Yeah,

00:23:59that's him.

00:24:01I think I'll go

00:24:02have a chat with him

00:24:03myself.

00:24:04Go!

00:24:06Are you seriously

00:24:07blocking me?

00:24:08This beef is between

00:24:09me and Selina.

00:24:10If you step in

00:24:10as the cross-air,

00:24:11the streets will say

00:24:12I can't even handle

00:24:12my own woman

00:24:13and had to beg

00:24:13my brother for backup.

00:24:14It's too humiliating!

00:24:15As if you aren't

00:24:16already a laughingstock?

00:24:18That bastard Adam

00:24:19said my gun was soft,

00:24:20right?

00:24:20I'm going straight to Kane.

00:24:21The under-fight circuits

00:24:22know exactly how to

00:24:23break monsters like him!

00:24:25Kane?

00:24:25Yeah.

00:24:26Kane from the

00:24:27L.A. underground tracks.

00:24:28His crew is full of hitters.

00:24:30They banish problems

00:24:31for a living.

00:24:34Stop embarrassing

00:24:35the family name.

00:24:36This time I'm breaking

00:24:37all three of his legs.

00:24:44Step right up!

00:24:45The Olympia supply chain

00:24:46is officially broken.

00:24:48A corrupt elder

00:24:48repossessed my cabin

00:24:49and forced me

00:24:50into a mortal debt grind.

00:24:52The legendary

00:24:53Sacred Oak Mudballs,

00:24:54originally valued at thousands,

00:24:56today they're yours

00:24:57for just 99 bucks.

00:24:58Hand-rolled by Adam,

00:24:59struck by Zoo's own lightning.

00:25:00It fixes whatever you're lacking.

00:25:02Don't miss out!

00:25:03Hey, handsome.

00:25:04There's literally nothing

00:25:05on your table.

00:25:06What exactly are you selling?

00:25:08Custom-crafted

00:25:08Sacred Oak Mudballs.

00:25:10It supplements

00:25:10whatever your body is missing.

00:25:12Want one?

00:25:12Are you kidding me?

00:25:13A magic pill

00:25:14that fixes everything?

00:25:15This is a classic

00:25:16street hustle.

00:25:16It fixes anything?

00:25:17How much?

00:25:18I don't discuss cash.

00:25:19I operate on pure vibes.

00:25:21Speak English, pal.

00:25:23$99.

00:25:25You call that vibes vibes?

00:25:28That's a straight-up robbery.

00:25:31I'll take one, boss.

00:25:33You're seriously buying this?

00:25:37Did you just manifest that

00:25:39out of thin air?

00:25:39That is literally

00:25:40just a ball of gunk

00:25:41you scraped off your toothpick.

00:25:42You're charging 99 bucks for that?

00:25:43Regular hustlers

00:25:44sell placeboats.

00:25:45Olympus deals

00:25:45in pure divine energy.

00:25:47All right, boss.

00:25:48This is getting ridiculous.

00:25:49You are shamelessly

00:25:50scamming people.

00:25:51The proof is in the results.

00:25:53Fine.

00:25:53Let's see what this

00:25:54ball of dirt

00:25:55actually does.

00:25:59Why did you just

00:26:00force feed me?

00:26:00You already paid for it.

00:26:01Don't let it go to waste.

00:26:03Exactly as I thought.

00:26:04Fake.

00:26:05Give her a refund.

00:26:06Told you.

00:26:06There's no such thing

00:26:07as a miracle cure.

00:26:08Olympus liquidation clearance.

00:26:10He spun a good yarn, though.

00:26:11That's impossible.

00:26:12Zero reaction?

00:26:13Did my descent to this realm

00:26:14seal my core power

00:26:15along with that debt?

00:26:16Stop stalling.

00:26:17Money back.

00:26:22Oh my god.

00:26:24It actually works.

00:26:28Even when it works,

00:26:29I get assaulted.

00:26:30This business is a hazard.

00:26:32My bad, boss.

00:26:33I didn't expect the results

00:26:34to be quite so...

00:26:36explosive.

00:26:37Holy shit.

00:26:38It's real.

00:26:38If I knew,

00:26:39I would have taken it myself.

00:26:41Boss, I want one too.

00:26:43Like I said,

00:26:44I don't sell to just anyone.

00:26:46It's about the connection.

00:26:47I get it.

00:26:48I get it.

00:26:48My vibes are completely aligned

00:26:50right now.

00:26:52This time,

00:26:53I'm taking it myself.

00:26:55Just another pretty face

00:26:57scamming naive girls

00:26:58with parlor tricks.

00:26:59Hey, boss.

00:27:00Don't just cater to the pretty ladies.

00:27:01Run a diagnostic on me, too.

00:27:03You're open for business.

00:27:04You shouldn't be picking

00:27:04and choosing clients, right?

00:27:06Sunken black eyes,

00:27:08pale lips,

00:27:08unstable stance,

00:27:10sweaty palms.

00:27:12What's your point?

00:27:13To put it simply,

00:27:14this isn't from hitting

00:27:15the gym too hard.

00:27:16You are completely drained

00:27:18from severe sexual exhaustion.

00:27:23He looks like a gym beast,

00:27:25but his battery

00:27:25is completely dead.

00:27:27No wonder he looks like a ghost,

00:27:29completely overextended.

00:27:31Who the hell

00:27:32hell are you calling drained?

00:27:33Keep lying,

00:27:34and I will smash

00:27:34your entire fake pharmacy

00:27:36setup right now.

00:27:37I can fix it.

00:27:40Boss,

00:27:41no divine doctor.

00:27:42Save my life.

00:27:43Like I said,

00:27:43I don't sell to just anyone.

00:27:45It's about the connection.

00:27:48I get it,

00:27:48I get it.

00:27:49My vibes are heavily aligned.

00:27:55Boss,

00:27:56give me one for hair loss.

00:27:57I'm practically bald.

00:27:58Boss,

00:27:58got anything for skin whitening?

00:27:59Boss,

00:28:00I can't sleep lately.

00:28:01Can I get a mental booster?

00:28:02Take it easy,

00:28:03take it easy.

00:28:04Manifestation takes time.

00:28:05Staring at my hands

00:28:06won't make it go faster.

00:28:07Young man,

00:28:08care to run a diagnostic

00:28:09on me too?

00:28:12Isn't that the patriarch

00:28:13of the Roland family?

00:28:14What is an elite billionaire

00:28:15doing in a place like this?

00:28:16I've been observing for a while.

00:28:18Your diagnostics are incredibly accurate,

00:28:21and your methods are

00:28:23unorthodox.

00:28:25So tell me,

00:28:26what's wrong with these

00:28:27old bones of mines?

00:28:28No need to check.

00:28:30Meaning?

00:28:31You are going to die today.

00:28:36You little punk,

00:28:37what the hell did you just say?

00:28:38I will tear you apart,

00:28:40right?

00:28:40Stand down.

00:28:43Boss,

00:28:44did you miscalculate?

00:28:44This gentleman looks

00:28:45incredibly sharp,

00:28:46healthier than most kids.

00:28:48How could he possibly

00:28:49drop dead today?

00:28:50Exactly.

00:28:50He doesn't look like

00:28:51a sick man at all.

00:28:52The man clearly

00:28:53has premium health care.

00:28:54Kid,

00:28:54you saw his tailoring

00:28:55and the security details,

00:28:56so you're trying to land

00:28:57a big fish, aren't you?

00:28:58Those minor diagnostics

00:28:59were fine,

00:28:59but this is just

00:29:00malicious scare tactics.

00:29:01Young man,

00:29:02what is your metric

00:29:03for deciding

00:29:04I'm going to die today?

00:29:05Because I just

00:29:06watched it happen.

00:29:08Enough!

00:29:09You generic street fraud!

00:29:10Do you have any idea

00:29:11who this is?

00:29:12The patriarch

00:29:12of the Roland Empire.

00:29:13He has a top-tier

00:29:14medical team

00:29:15monitoring him hourly,

00:29:16threatening him in public?

00:29:17You are completely

00:29:17finished in L.A.

00:29:19Medical reports

00:29:20can be bought.

00:29:20The body doesn't fly.

00:29:22You're still talking back!

00:29:25I do get examined monthly,

00:29:26and my doctors confirm

00:29:28I'm in flawless health.

00:29:30Young man,

00:29:31you clearly have

00:29:31some parlor tricks,

00:29:32but this time

00:29:33you missed the mark

00:29:34entirely.

00:29:35Sir!

00:29:40Sir!

00:29:41Hang in there!

00:29:43Call 911!

00:29:44Get our private

00:29:44medical team

00:29:45on the line now!

00:29:47Hold it!

00:29:48Stop wasting time.

00:29:49The poison

00:29:50has already heavily

00:29:50compromised his vital organs.

00:29:52Moving him

00:29:52or causing erratic panic

00:29:54right now

00:29:54will only accelerate

00:29:55his expiration.

00:29:56Bullshit!

00:29:56Our master's health

00:29:57has been flawless!

00:29:58What metric gives you

00:29:58the right to call it poisoning?

00:29:59The metric where I said

00:30:00he died today

00:30:01and now he's flatlining.

00:30:02Is that not direct

00:30:03enough for you?

00:30:03You're a generic

00:30:04street vendor.

00:30:05Just because people

00:30:06buy your tricks

00:30:06doesn't make you a doctor.

00:30:07Where is your medical license?

00:30:09Blah, blah, blah.

00:30:10The man is going cold

00:30:11and you're auditing

00:30:11my credentials?

00:30:13I'll say it one last time!

00:30:14Get out of the way!

00:30:16If you delay his care,

00:30:17you can't afford

00:30:18the fallout!

00:30:19If you keep holding him

00:30:20like that,

00:30:21he's gone for good.

00:30:25What the hell

00:30:26did you do to us?

00:30:27Just giving you

00:30:28a moment of silence.

00:30:29Oh my god,

00:30:30they are completely paralyzed!

00:30:32Bella,

00:30:32did I almost assault

00:30:33a literal divine healer?

00:30:3499 bucks

00:30:35is starting to feel

00:30:36like an absolute steal.

00:30:41Don't move.

00:30:42I'm dragging you

00:30:43back from the threshold.

00:30:56Am I still breathing?

00:30:59Temporarily, yes.

00:31:01Master,

00:31:02how do you feel?

00:31:03I'm fine.

00:31:06Young man,

00:31:07did you resurrect me?

00:31:09Just a minor assist.

00:31:10If you were a minute later,

00:31:11you'd be a permanent

00:31:11fixture of this flea market.

00:31:13The bloody coughed up?

00:31:14The pigment

00:31:14is entirely wrong.

00:31:16What exactly

00:31:16is wrong with me?

00:31:18It's not a pathology,

00:31:19it's a lethal toxin.

00:31:21Toxin?

00:31:21I monitor my nutrition

00:31:23flawlessly

00:31:23and my medical team

00:31:24runs continuous audits.

00:31:25How could I be poisoned?

00:31:26A medical report

00:31:27can be forged

00:31:27to look beautiful.

00:31:28Toxin doesn't just evaporate.

00:31:29Who has the audacity

00:31:30to poison the patriarch?

00:31:33Lucas Rolland,

00:31:34your own grandson.

00:31:35For three years,

00:31:35he's been micro-doting

00:31:36your coffee, vitamins,

00:31:37and evening teas.

00:31:38The dosage was minor

00:31:39but highly effective.

00:31:40Impossible.

00:31:41Master Lucas

00:31:41is exceptionally devoted.

00:31:42He shares tea

00:31:42with the patriarch daily.

00:31:43He would never!

00:31:44Devotion is easily rehearsed.

00:31:45Whether you believe it or not

00:31:46is zero concern of mine.

00:31:48This targets the core

00:31:49of the Roland Vinniston.

00:31:50I cannot condemn him

00:31:51based on words alone.

00:31:51Which is why I'm not telling you

00:31:52to condemn him right now.

00:31:58This will buy you

00:31:59exactly seven days of life.

00:32:01Host an elite gala

00:32:01seven days from now

00:32:02and summon every core member

00:32:03of the Roland Blood Lane.

00:32:04The culprit will expose

00:32:05themselves instantly.

00:32:06Seven days from now?

00:32:08Yeah.

00:32:08Play it cool.

00:32:09Go back, drink your tea,

00:32:10and smile.

00:32:10Let him think everything

00:32:11is going according to plan.

00:32:11I clear the medical emergency.

00:32:12You settle the family ledger.

00:32:14Young man,

00:32:15seven days,

00:32:16the Roland estate

00:32:17will be entirely

00:32:18at your disposal.

00:32:19If you locate the traitor,

00:32:21this empire will owe you

00:32:23an immeasurable debt.

00:32:28Mr. Adam,

00:32:30seven days from now

00:32:31my estate awaits you.

00:32:32Sure thing.

00:32:33Just don't forget my fee.

00:32:37Your own grandson

00:32:38is trying to liquidate you.

00:32:40Eating at a billionaire's table

00:32:41seems hazardous.

00:32:42Boss,

00:32:43give me the hair loss cure.

00:32:44I'm completely desperate.

00:32:45I need skin whitening.

00:32:46Name your price.

00:32:47Boss,

00:32:47my sleep is completely wrecked.

00:32:49Can you fix my mental exhaustion?

00:32:50Me first.

00:32:51I was literally in line.

00:32:53Boss,

00:32:53I want an extra one

00:32:54for backup.

00:32:55Don't crowd.

00:32:56One by one.

00:33:00Ma'am,

00:33:01extract your hand

00:33:01from my pocket.

00:33:02I deal in divine mud balls,

00:33:03not companionship.

00:33:06At this velocity,

00:33:07clearing Cassian's garbage debt

00:33:09isn't entirely possible.

00:33:11Sir,

00:33:12that man diagnosed you immediately

00:33:13and neutralized both of us

00:33:14without moving a smill.

00:33:15He is exceptionally high tier.

00:33:16Is it wise to just let him walk?

00:33:17It feels hazardous.

00:33:18Premium medicals,

00:33:19physical combat power

00:33:20completely unfazed

00:33:21and he openly collected cash.

00:33:22A man like that

00:33:23is an asset you do not offend.

00:33:24You secure an alliance.

00:33:25But his claim that

00:33:26Master Lucas is poisoning you,

00:33:28that is an absolute crisis.

00:33:30I am fully aware.

00:33:33Erin is already in her early 20s,

00:33:35isn't she?

00:33:36Yes, sir.

00:33:36Miss Erin has been focused

00:33:37on corporate operations lately.

00:33:39She hasn't returned

00:33:39to the estate in days.

00:33:41Erin is completely clean

00:33:42and highly methodical.

00:33:43Competence-wise,

00:33:44she's far better suited

00:33:44to inherit the Roland dynasty

00:33:46than Lucas.

00:33:46Have her manage the logistics

00:33:47with Mr. Adam and Dave.

00:33:48Let's fill when your sister

00:33:49said in a setting

00:33:50she might resent it.

00:33:51This isn't a setup.

00:33:52It's securing a backup plan

00:33:53for the entire Roland legacy.

00:33:56And Master Lucas?

00:33:57Do you genuinely suspect him?

00:33:59He is your direct bloodline,

00:34:00after all.

00:34:03The human heart is a complete void,

00:34:06especially within

00:34:06billionaire corporate dynasties.

00:34:08For cash, equity,

00:34:09and inheritance,

00:34:10people will commit

00:34:11the most malicious atrocities.

00:34:13Keep a tight surveillance

00:34:13on Lucas.

00:34:14Flawless normal behavior

00:34:16do not trigger any suspicion.

00:34:17Understood, sir.

00:34:21What are the current metrics

00:34:22on the Sterling family?

00:34:23Intelligence to Taylor Cross

00:34:24attempted to force a proposal

00:34:25on Miss Selina,

00:34:26but his entire squad

00:34:27was ejected

00:34:28of the Sterling estate.

00:34:29Oh?

00:34:30The Cross family

00:34:31fully blacked out the media,

00:34:32so the exact metrics are tight.

00:34:33But rumors suggest

00:34:34the enforcer

00:34:34wasn't Sterling's security.

00:34:36It was Miss Selina's

00:34:37contract husband.

00:34:39Contract husband?

00:34:40Yes, sir.

00:34:45Selina is exceptionally strategic.

00:34:47The Cross family

00:34:48is the absolute

00:34:49top player conglomerate in L.A.

00:34:51Immense power.

00:34:52Why would Miss Selina

00:34:52reject Taylor Cross

00:34:53and choose a completely

00:34:54anonymous contract husband instead?

00:34:56Precisely because

00:34:57the Cross family

00:34:58is number one.

00:34:59That is exactly why

00:35:01she couldn't choose Taylor.

00:35:02The Rollins are solid

00:35:03at number two,

00:35:04stable infrastructure.

00:35:05The Howard family

00:35:06is at number three,

00:35:07highly conservative,

00:35:08premium caution.

00:35:09Only the Steelings,

00:35:10due to internal

00:35:10corporate civil wars,

00:35:12lost their momentum.

00:35:13They are on the verge

00:35:13of slipping out

00:35:14of the elite tier.

00:35:15Selina is the only

00:35:16high-performing asset

00:35:16left in the Sterling bloodline.

00:35:18If she marries Taylor,

00:35:19it looks like an alliance,

00:35:19but it's actually delivering

00:35:20Sterling pilots

00:35:21straight to the Cross portfolio.

00:35:23Incredible strategy.

00:35:24The Crosses have been

00:35:24increasingly good

00:35:25because of their

00:35:25number one rank.

00:35:26Taylor Cross is completely

00:35:27spoiled by his family.

00:35:28The kid has zero

00:35:28concept of boundaries.

00:35:29Now that he's been liquidated

00:35:31by the Sterling contract husband,

00:35:32he won't just walk away.

00:35:34A major corporate storm

00:35:35is definitely brewing.

00:35:36Should we intervene?

00:35:37Negative for now.

00:35:38Just run tight intelligence

00:35:39on both the Sterlings

00:35:40and the Crosses.

00:35:41Report any shift immediately.

00:35:42Understood, sir.

00:35:45If Lucas is genuinely

00:35:46a traitor,

00:35:47I might have to deploy

00:35:49a premium budget

00:35:50to lock in Mr. Adam

00:35:51as the Roland's son-in-law.

00:36:03You're Adam, right?

00:36:05That's me.

00:36:06If you're here for mudballs,

00:36:07get in line.

00:36:08If you're here to throw down,

00:36:09make it fast.

00:36:10Someone wired a premium budget

00:36:13to ensure you get

00:36:14fully broken.

00:36:15Who?

00:36:17You have zero need to know.

00:36:26Then you better compensate me

00:36:28for damages first.

00:36:30Boys, break him!

00:36:36This is impossible!

00:36:37This is impossible!

00:36:48Interesting.

00:36:49Did not think you actually

00:36:51had real weight.

00:36:52No wonder someone dropped

00:36:53half a million dollars

00:36:54to acquire your three legs.

00:36:56Half a million?

00:36:58Taylor commissioned you?

00:36:59Did not he?

00:37:01Nobody else is this pathetic.

00:37:03Outsourcing a beatdown

00:37:04because they lost a fight.

00:37:06It was indeed Master Taylor.

00:37:08But I operate on my own protocol

00:37:09and I highly respect

00:37:11real competences.

00:37:12How about this?

00:37:13I only break your third leg.

00:37:14It will not compromise

00:37:15your mobility

00:37:16and it completely sieves

00:37:17your illusion of competing

00:37:18with Taylor for the woman.

00:37:19Sound fair?

00:37:20You guys are hilarious.

00:37:22You cannot secure a woman

00:37:24so you attempt to mutilate

00:37:25the competition?

00:37:26And you are tracking

00:37:26my third, boy.

00:37:28You are not even qualified.

00:37:30Fine!

00:37:31You want to do this the hard way?

00:37:32You are begging for a termination!

00:37:34I do not do hard ways

00:37:35or easy ways.

00:37:35If we are throwing down,

00:37:36execute now.

00:37:37Stop stalling.

00:37:38I need to get back

00:37:38to my debt grind.

00:37:39The last guy who spoke to me

00:37:40with that frequency

00:37:41has grass growing over his head.

00:37:43Boys, liquidate this clown!

00:37:52Must be nice being young.

00:37:53They go straight to sleep.

00:37:55You.

00:37:57I will bury you myself!

00:38:06Boss Kane.

00:38:07Now, crawl over,

00:38:09retrieve my cash,

00:38:11and get on your knees

00:38:12to apologize.

00:38:15I'm on it!

00:38:17Retrieving right now!

00:38:18Boss, the cash is fully accounted for.

00:38:20Plus, the Taylor's

00:38:21half-million dollar budget.

00:38:22Consider it my compensation.

00:38:24I was completely blind.

00:38:25I shouldn't have accepted

00:38:26Taylor's contract

00:38:26to threaten you.

00:38:28Have mercy on me this once.

00:38:29See?

00:38:30Was the beatdown

00:38:31strictly necessary

00:38:32to understand

00:38:33where the cash belongs?

00:38:35Absolutely, boss.

00:38:36You're entirely right.

00:38:37If I ever see you

00:38:39executing contracts

00:38:40for Taylor again,

00:38:41a beatdown

00:38:42will be the least

00:38:42of your concerns.

00:38:43Get lost.

00:38:45Yes, sir!

00:38:46We are evacuating immediately!

00:38:48Decent liquidation today.

00:38:51One small step closer

00:38:52to wiping out

00:38:53that garbage debt

00:38:54that old bastard

00:38:54casein dropped on me.

00:38:59Where the hell

00:39:00were you all afternoon?

00:39:04Peddling my sacred

00:39:06oak mud balls,

00:39:06obviously.

00:39:08Trying to accelerate

00:39:09the liquidation

00:39:10of that old debt.

00:39:12Grinding all day,

00:39:13retaining a minor

00:39:13lunch budget

00:39:14is completely valid.

00:39:21With that velocity,

00:39:22you are completely

00:39:24wasting your talent

00:39:25by not robbing banks.

00:39:28This cash doesn't even

00:39:30cover the interest

00:39:30on your deficit.

00:39:32Even a deficit

00:39:33has dignity.

00:39:34At this accumulation rate,

00:39:36the marriage contract

00:39:37will inherit

00:39:38by the next generation

00:39:39before you clear it.

00:39:42Exactly, brother-in-law.

00:39:43How long do you plan

00:39:44to grind on the streets?

00:39:45You have premium housing

00:39:47and food here.

00:39:48Zero exposure

00:39:49to the elements.

00:39:50It's flawless.

00:39:52True, Mr. Adam.

00:39:53If you remain

00:39:54at the estate,

00:39:55I can ensure

00:39:56you are

00:39:58exceptionally comfortable.

00:40:00Fine.

00:40:01Contract husband it is.

00:40:03I haven't won

00:40:03a single negotiation

00:40:04since the moment

00:40:04I got kicked down

00:40:05from the mountain anyway.

00:40:06What contract husband?

00:40:08What's the massive

00:40:08celebration about?

00:40:12Adam's petty cash

00:40:13from peddling gunk

00:40:14on the streets.

00:40:15Grinding all afternoon

00:40:16for this minor yield?

00:40:17Honestly,

00:40:18with your assets,

00:40:19being Selena's husband

00:40:20full-time pays

00:40:20a lot faster

00:40:21than selling black mud.

00:40:22Thanks for the evaluation,

00:40:23but I have zero interest

00:40:24in liquidating myself

00:40:25to clear a debt.

00:40:26Let's talk business.

00:40:27The Roland Patriarch

00:40:28is hosting his gala

00:40:29in seven days.

00:40:30The entire elite

00:40:30corporate circle

00:40:31will be present,

00:40:31and the Cross family

00:40:32is a lock.

00:40:33Taylor failed at his proposal.

00:40:34He will definitely

00:40:34weaponize the event

00:40:35to savash us.

00:40:36Plus the board members,

00:40:36they already resent Selena

00:40:37managing Sterling

00:40:38Technological alone.

00:40:39If the Cross family

00:40:40suppresses us at the gala,

00:40:41the board will definitely

00:40:41exploit it to instigate a coup.

00:40:43No wonder she drafted me

00:40:44as a husband.

00:40:44Cross on the outside,

00:40:45a hostile board on the inside.

00:40:47Her metrics are just

00:40:48as stressful as mine.

00:40:49Selena,

00:40:49maybe we bypass this gala.

00:40:50The Cross family

00:40:51is definitely treating this

00:40:52as a prime ambush opportunity.

00:40:53Negative.

00:40:54Bypassing is not an option.

00:40:55Sterling's current market position

00:40:56is highly volatile.

00:40:57The Rollins are conservative

00:40:58and refuse to choose a side,

00:40:59but the Howards

00:41:00are a guaranteed presence.

00:41:01If I secure a partnership

00:41:02with the Howard family,

00:41:02it completely stabilizes

00:41:03Sterling Biologici's crisis.

00:41:05I can resolve

00:41:06the Sterling crisis myself.

00:41:09Resolve it?

00:41:10With the lease change

00:41:11you liquidated

00:41:12from your street peddling today?

00:41:14The cash volume is minor,

00:41:16but the commitment is premium.

00:41:17Just stay at the estate

00:41:18and stop instigating trouble.

00:41:20You've already offended Taylor.

00:41:22The Cross family

00:41:22could deploy a retaliation

00:41:23at any interval.

00:41:25Too late.

00:41:25He already deployed it

00:41:27and inadvertently wired me

00:41:28half a million dollars.

00:41:30Whatever.

00:41:30We'll cross paths

00:41:31at the Roland Gala anyway.

00:41:33I'll liquidate all the problems

00:41:34at once.

00:41:35Fine, your call.

00:41:37Just summon me for the Gala.

00:41:38My protocol will be

00:41:39to stand there

00:41:40and avoid starting fires.

00:41:41I highly hope

00:41:42you execute that flawlessly.

00:41:44I'll attempt it,

00:41:46though trouble usually manifests

00:41:47its own legs

00:41:48to track me down.

00:41:49What did you just say?

00:41:50The contract was a failure?

00:41:52Master Taylor,

00:41:54the guy is a straight-up anomaly.

00:41:57Immense combat power.

00:41:58I deployed a dozen hitters

00:42:00and he neutralized

00:42:01the entire squad effortlessly.

00:42:03Generic trash.

00:42:04I cleared a half-million budget

00:42:05and you can't even neutralize

00:42:06a single contract, husband?

00:42:07You have the audacity

00:42:08to call me?

00:42:09Yeah, I'm trash.

00:42:12But the boys are severely broken.

00:42:13We need medical coverage.

00:42:15When is the remaining

00:42:15balance processing?

00:42:17Balance?

00:42:17You blew the contract?

00:42:19I should be auditing you

00:42:20for my losses.

00:42:20You want cash?

00:42:21Keep dreaming.

00:42:22Boss, what's our next

00:42:23course of action?

00:42:25Since he's cutting the budget,

00:42:27we secure a new boss.

00:42:35Invitation, sir?

00:42:36An invitation?

00:42:37Zero access without an invitation.

00:42:40This is an elite Roland event,

00:42:42not a swap meet.

00:42:43And here I thought doors

00:42:44were designed for human transit.

00:42:46No invitation means

00:42:48evacuate the perimeter.

00:42:50Stop obstructing the elite guests.

00:42:52Well, well.

00:42:54If it isn't Selena's

00:42:55cheap contract husband,

00:42:57a low-tier nobody like you

00:42:59attempting to infiltrate

00:43:00a Roland Hala,

00:43:01see this?

00:43:01This is your entry credential.

00:43:03You're flashing that paper

00:43:04with a lot of ego.

00:43:05I thought you won the lottery.

00:43:07Zero credentials

00:43:08and you're still talking trash?

00:43:10My protocol is different

00:43:11from yours.

00:43:12I don't need paper

00:43:12to gain entry.

00:43:13Zero credentials

00:43:14and maximum arrogance?

00:43:15Do you have any metric

00:43:16for the caliber of guests today?

00:43:17If you disrupt

00:43:18the Patriarch's Gala,

00:43:19you cannot survive

00:43:20the liability.

00:43:22Cut the act, Adam.

00:43:24Who could you possibly know?

00:43:26Don't waste your breath.

00:43:28I'm here.

00:43:30At the front door.

00:43:33Whether I'm faking it or not,

00:43:34you're about to find out.

00:43:35What's the rush?

00:43:37Adam, my boy.

00:43:39You finally made it.

00:43:40I've been waiting forever.

00:43:41Why are you still

00:43:42standing outside?

00:43:43I was just about to head in,

00:43:45but these guys said

00:43:47I don't look the part.

00:43:48This man is my personal

00:43:49guest of honor.

00:43:50How dare you

00:43:51bar his entry?

00:43:52Mr. Rowland, sir,

00:43:53we didn't know...

00:43:54After you, Adam.

00:43:55Told you.

00:43:57Don't need an invitation

00:43:58to get in.

00:44:05Taylor,

00:44:07I'm almost at the hall.

00:44:08Get out here

00:44:09and meet me right now.

00:44:10You'll pay for this here today.

00:44:11I'm best you

00:44:12and may wish

00:44:12you never step foot in here.

00:44:15Mr. Howard,

00:44:17Sterling Biotech

00:44:18is eager to forge

00:44:19a partnership

00:44:20with your family.

00:44:22I'm confident

00:44:23that by joining forces,

00:44:24we can achieve

00:44:25unparalleled

00:44:26mutual success.

00:44:27Selena,

00:44:28you know exactly

00:44:29how much weight

00:44:30the Cross family

00:44:31carries in L.A.

00:44:32They've been getting

00:44:33more ruthless

00:44:34by the day.

00:44:35As for a partnership,

00:44:36I'm going to need

00:44:37more time

00:44:38to think it over.

00:44:40Excuse me,

00:44:41I'll be right back.

00:44:42Adam?

00:44:43How did you get in here?

00:44:45And why are you

00:44:46with Mr. Roland?

00:44:47Oh,

00:44:47the old man and I

00:44:48crossed paths

00:44:49when I was selling

00:44:50my sacred oak charcoal pills.

00:44:52He took a liking to them,

00:44:53so he invited me over

00:44:54for his birthday bash.

00:44:56Seriously?

00:44:57Cross my heart.

00:44:59Why would I lie to you?

00:45:00It's not like

00:45:01lying cuts down my debt.

00:45:03Adam,

00:45:03you and Mrs. Sterling are...

00:45:05I'm her heavily

00:45:07bankrolled

00:45:07contract hush...

00:45:10You have impeccable taste,

00:45:12Selena,

00:45:13locking down Adam

00:45:14before anyone else could.

00:45:15Adam,

00:45:16the gala is about to start,

00:45:18so if you'll excuse me,

00:45:19feel free to mangle.

00:45:20Let my staff know

00:45:21if you need anything at all.

00:45:23Mr. Roland's health

00:45:24has been failing lately.

00:45:26Be careful with those pills

00:45:27you sold him.

00:45:28If anything goes sideways,

00:45:30given the state Sterling is in,

00:45:32the best I can do

00:45:33is try to keep the Rolands

00:45:34from tearing you

00:45:35limb from limb.

00:45:36Relax.

00:45:37I sell cure-alls,

00:45:38not poison.

00:45:40The crosses are here today,

00:45:42especially Victor,

00:45:43Taylor's older brother.

00:45:44He's a viper.

00:45:45Stay close to me

00:45:46and don't wander off.

00:45:47Don't worry.

00:45:48Whoever lines up,

00:45:49I'll knock him down.

00:45:50Can you stop making everything

00:45:51sound like an impending

00:45:52street fight?

00:45:52Hey, I'm usually a pacifist

00:45:54until trouble knocks on my door.

00:45:55Grandpa,

00:45:56wishing you boundless joy

00:45:58and a long, long life.

00:45:59I carved this birthday gift

00:46:00with my own two hands.

00:46:02I hope you love it.

00:46:03Is that an auspicious

00:46:04Agamheed Rushi?

00:46:05That's worth tens of millions?

00:46:07And Aaron snagged it?

00:46:08Carving it yourself

00:46:09to that standard

00:46:10to talk about devotion.

00:46:12Good girl.

00:46:12I absolutely cherish this gift.

00:46:15Agarwood isn't an easy medium

00:46:16to work with.

00:46:17This Aaron girl

00:46:17really put her heart into it.

00:46:19What?

00:46:19Eyeing her up already?

00:46:21Whoa,

00:46:21don't throw around

00:46:21wild accusations.

00:46:23Dealing with you

00:46:23is exhausting enough.

00:46:24If another woman

00:46:24gets thrown into the mix,

00:46:25Cassian will be lighting incense

00:46:26for my funeral.

00:46:31Victor,

00:46:32that's him.

00:46:33That's Adam.

00:46:34It's a flawless,

00:46:34irreplaceable masterpiece.

00:46:35May it bring you

00:46:36perfect health

00:46:36and eternal prosperity.

00:46:39Spoken like a true heir, Lucas.

00:46:41The quality of that jade

00:46:42is supreme

00:46:42and the craftsmanship

00:46:43is jaw-block.

00:46:44A treasure like this

00:46:45is a once-in-a-lifetime find.

00:46:47A mere block of wood

00:46:48could never do justice

00:46:49to Grandpa's stature.

00:46:50Watch your mouth, Lucas.

00:46:52All right,

00:46:52that's enough.

00:46:53Both of your gifts

00:46:54represent your love.

00:46:56I cherish them both.

00:46:59Hold it right there.

00:47:04That thing

00:47:05isn't a blessing

00:47:06for longevity.

00:47:07It's a lethal weapon

00:47:09dripping with poison.

00:47:11Who the hell

00:47:11is this guy

00:47:12to run his mouth

00:47:13like that

00:47:13at Mr. Roland's

00:47:15gala?

00:47:16Lucas spent months

00:47:17sourcing this masterpiece.

00:47:19How could it

00:47:19possibly be poisoned?

00:47:21He's out of his

00:47:22damn mind.

00:47:26What kind of

00:47:27twisted lie is this?

00:47:29Poisoned?

00:47:30Adam,

00:47:30are you absolutely certain?

00:47:32This is the Roland family.

00:47:33If you're wrong,

00:47:34you're making an enemy

00:47:35of the entire dynasty.

00:47:37Take it easy.

00:47:38I'm not desperate enough

00:47:39to crash a party

00:47:40just to make a buck.

00:47:42You're just a classless nobody

00:47:43who wouldn't know luxury

00:47:44if it hit him in the face.

00:47:45This jade booty

00:47:46is a priceless relic

00:47:47certified by master appraisers.

00:47:49Keep your slanderous mouth shut.

00:47:50A priceless relic?

00:47:52It looks more like

00:47:53a custom-built

00:47:54delivery system

00:47:54for toxins.

00:47:56You're full of crap!

00:47:57I get it.

00:47:58You're just a freeloading scammer

00:47:59who snuck in here

00:48:00to cause a scene,

00:48:01aren't you?

00:48:02Security!

00:48:03Throw this trash out!

00:48:08Let's see who dares

00:48:09touch him.

00:48:12Adam is my honored guest.

00:48:14No one in this room

00:48:15has the authority

00:48:15to remove him.

00:48:20Grandpa,

00:48:21I don't mean to disrespect

00:48:22your guest,

00:48:23but he's publicly

00:48:24trashing my gift to you.

00:48:25He's spitting in the face

00:48:26of the Roland family.

00:48:27Adam,

00:48:28are you completely sure

00:48:30about this jade booty?

00:48:35Dead certain.

00:48:36This isn't a natural

00:48:37imperfection in the stone.

00:48:38It's a toxic deposit.

00:48:40The poison seeps

00:48:41through the veins

00:48:41of the yade over time.

00:48:43Prolonged exposure

00:48:44ensures complete organ failure.

00:48:45And wouldn't you know it,

00:48:47it's the exact same toxin

00:48:48that almost put Mr. Roland

00:48:49in the ground days ago.

00:48:58It's just a tiny speck!

00:49:00What kind of medical authority

00:49:02are you basing this on?

00:49:03Where's your proof?

00:49:06The proof is elementary.

00:49:09This specific toxin reacts violently

00:49:11when exposed to direct bloodlines.

00:49:13Just take a single drop of blood

00:49:14from any biological family member

00:49:16and place it on the jade.

00:49:18The truth will show itself instantly.

00:49:26You brought the gift.

00:49:29Since you're so sure it's clean,

00:49:33why don't you clear your name right now?

00:49:38Why should I dance to your tune?

00:49:40Who's to say you won't rig the whole test?

00:49:42You're not afraid of me rigging it.

00:49:45You're terrified of getting caught red-handed.

00:49:51If he's too chicken,

00:49:53I'll do it.

00:49:57Shady things hate the spotlight.

00:49:59They can't handle real scrutiny.

00:50:01The more defensive you get,

00:50:03the more obvious it is

00:50:05you're hiding a corpse in the closet.

00:50:12Grandpa's life is paramount.

00:50:14If there's even a fraction of a thrust,

00:50:17I won't let him touch this thing.

00:50:18Adam, I'll provide the blood.

00:50:21Aaron, absolutely not!

00:50:23This has nothing to do with you, kid.

00:50:25Stand back.

00:50:26Being a loyal granddaughter is great,

00:50:28but dying for it is stupid.

00:50:30See that?

00:50:31You won't even use her blood!

00:50:32You're clearly just targeting me!

00:50:34Yeah, exactly.

00:50:35I am 100% targeting you.

00:50:38What do you think you're doing?

00:50:39Get off me!

00:50:41Just saving me from your own hesitation.

00:50:58Lucas!

00:50:59It really was you?

00:51:00You poisoned him?

00:51:03Don't touch the statue itself.

00:51:05Handle it by the base.

00:51:06The mastermind behind this wasn't payist.

00:51:08All the filthy stuff is cooked into the bottom.

00:51:12No!

00:51:12It wasn't me!

00:51:13I was just...

00:51:15Don't even try denying it.

00:51:16The second his blood hit the base,

00:51:17the whole damn thing rotted out.

00:51:19Gifting a poisoned Buddha to his own grandfather?

00:51:21The Rollins are never going to live down this disgrace.

00:51:24An absolute abomination.

00:51:26A curse upon my house!

00:51:28This toxin moves fast.

00:51:29Right now, it's just a black hand.

00:51:31But give it a minute,

00:51:32and it'll rot him from the inside out.

00:51:34Whether he keeps his life is a coin toss,

00:51:36and even if he survives, he'll likely be a vegetable.

00:51:43Victor, you have to save me!

00:51:44You sourced this poison for me!

00:51:46You must have the antidote!

00:51:48You swore nothing would go wrong!

00:51:55Have you lost your damn mind, Lucas?

00:51:58I never gave you any poison.

00:52:00You literally told me that once the old man was dead,

00:52:02the Rolly Empire would fall right into my lap!

00:52:05You said, once Cross and Rolly allied,

00:52:08we'd run the entirety of L.A.

00:52:10Say one more word,

00:52:11and I'll make sure you suffer a fate ten times worse than that poison.

00:52:15Lucas, I tried to bail you out financially

00:52:17because I thought we were friends.

00:52:19To pin the attempted murder of your own flesh and blood on me?

00:52:21I am deeply disappointed in you.

00:52:25See, in this world,

00:52:26the human mouth can lie all day long.

00:52:28But the speed of a toxin never does.

00:52:34Man, he cut ties fast.

00:52:36You say what you want about the Cross family,

00:52:38but they sure know how to wash their hands of blood.

00:52:40Watch your mouth, Adam.

00:52:42Accusations require evidence.

00:52:44Oh, don't worry.

00:52:45Evidence has a funny way of walking right through the door when it's ready.

00:52:48Just like trouble.

00:52:51Grandpa, I'm sorry!

00:52:52I was blinded by greed!

00:52:54Please save me!

00:52:55For the sake of our family, give me the antidote!

00:52:58I am not the man you should be begging.

00:53:02Adam!

00:53:04Please, I'm begging you cure me!

00:53:05If you make me whole again, I'll do anything!

00:53:08Anything you want!

00:53:10Anything?

00:53:11All right, let's start with a full confession.

00:53:13Write down every cooked book,

00:53:14every dose of poison,

00:53:15and every contact.

00:53:17Don't want to write?

00:53:19Fine by me.

00:53:20No confession, no cure.

00:53:22If your hands were actually clean,

00:53:23you wouldn't be terrified of writing down the truth.

00:53:27Start writing.

00:53:28I'm not going to say it twice.

00:53:31No ink,

00:53:33no antidote.

00:53:35Rot away for all I care.

00:53:46Security,

00:53:47take Lucas downstairs and lock him down.

00:53:51Effective immediately,

00:53:52he does not take one single step out of this estate

00:53:54without my explicit authorization.

00:53:56I apologize that my family drama disrupted the afternoon.

00:54:00If there is nothing else,

00:54:01please feel free to show yourselves out.

00:54:03Since you're indisposed, Mr. Rowland,

00:54:04we won't overstay our welcome.

00:54:06Good day.

00:54:14Damn that, Adam!

00:54:16If he had not stuck his nose into our business,

00:54:18the Rowland Empire would already be ours!

00:54:23The Rowland play is dead,

00:54:25but we still have Sterling.

00:54:28Selina is the easiest target on the board right now.

00:54:34But Adam is glued to her side.

00:54:37Then we bleed Sterling Group dry

00:54:40until it is a hollow shell.

00:54:42When she is desperate,

00:54:43she will crawl to cross on her knees.

00:54:45As for Adam,

00:54:47I am going to show him that being a good fighter

00:54:49does not mean you win the game.

00:54:53Grandpa!

00:54:54Are you okay?

00:54:57I am fine.

00:54:59I can manage.

00:55:04Adam,

00:55:05if it were not for you today,

00:55:08my life would have ended at the hands of my own grandson.

00:55:11From this moment on,

00:55:13the entire weight and resources of the Rowland family

00:55:16are at your disposal.

00:55:19Have him take this in three separate doses.

00:55:22It will completely purge the system within seven days.

00:55:25Do not overdo it.

00:55:26This stuff packs a serious punch,

00:55:27and a mortal body can only handle so much.

00:55:30Thank you, Adam.

00:55:34You know,

00:55:35Erin has been sharp since she was a kid,

00:55:37and she knows her way around medicine.

00:55:39If you're interested, Adam,

00:55:41she could show you around our family's private dispensatory.

00:55:45It's always good for young people to connect.

00:55:50That won't be necessary.

00:55:51Mr. Rowland,

00:55:52we appreciate the hospitality,

00:55:53but Adam is my contract husband.

00:55:56It's probably best for him and Erin

00:55:58to keep a respectful distance.

00:56:01Contract husband?

00:56:03So you're the one who put Taylor Cross

00:56:05in his place the other day.

00:56:07Guilty as charged.

00:56:08Drafted into service,

00:56:09so my customer service rating is pretty low.

00:56:11You know, you have a keen eye, Selina.

00:56:13But I take it there hasn't been an official wedding yet.

00:56:17Adam,

00:56:17if you ever look for a change of scenery to be a son-in-law,

00:56:21the Rowland doors are always wide open for you.

00:56:31Selina and I are in a committed partnership,

00:56:33so I have no plans to jump ship.

00:56:36I appreciate the offer, Mr. Rowland.

00:56:38Fair enough.

00:56:39If you ever change your mind,

00:56:40you know where to find me.

00:56:42This old man has had enough excitement for one day,

00:56:44so I'll take my leave.

00:56:45Please, make yourselves at home.

00:56:46Mr. Rowland, please wait.

00:56:47There are corporate matters I need to discuss with you.

00:56:49regarding the balance of power between the families.

00:57:00Walk with me, then.

00:57:09You really are full of surprises, Adam.

00:57:13Catching bullets, saving lives, detecting poisons.

00:57:16No wonder Grandpa thinks the world of you.

00:57:18You flatter me.

00:57:19Just basic party tricks.

00:57:21Nothing major.

00:57:24A trick that saves the patriarch of the Rowland family

00:57:27is worth a fortune.

00:57:31Why don't we exchange numbers?

00:57:33That way, if I ever run into trouble,

00:57:35I know exactly who to consult.

00:57:39That's a bit inconvenient.

00:57:40I am technically property of the Sterling household right now.

00:57:46A contract is just paper,

00:57:48not a chain,

00:57:49not a chain,

00:57:49and even chains have keys.

00:57:54The Rowland family values elite talent.

00:57:58We'd love to have you.

00:58:00Whatever Selina is offering,

00:58:03I can double it.

00:58:06She keeps you as a puppet husband.

00:58:09I can give you real power

00:58:11to run things here at Rowland.

00:58:15Aaron, your corporate headhunting strategy

00:58:17is getting dangerously aggressive.

00:58:19I just recognize true value when I see it.

00:58:22How long can Selina protect you anyway?

00:58:24She can barely keep her own grip on Sterling Group right now.

00:58:27Whether she holds her ground is her business.

00:58:30Whether I run is mine.

00:58:34Then why are you afraid to look me in the eye?

00:58:41Hey, modesty is a virtue.

00:58:43Your family just locked up a poisoner.

00:58:45I really don't want to get busted next

00:58:47for a public decency violation.

00:58:51It's not like I'm going to press charges.

00:58:54If you align with me, Adam,

00:58:55you won't just get a look.

00:58:57You can do whatever you want.

00:59:00What exactly is going on here?

00:59:07What does it look like we're doing, Selina?

00:59:18I'm completely innocent.

00:59:19She made the first move.

00:59:23Aaron, Adam is my husband.

00:59:26Your behavior is incredibly inappropriate.

00:59:32Husband?

00:59:32Please, he's a contract husband.

00:59:35No official wedding, no public announcement.

00:59:37Since there's no ring on that finger publicly,

00:59:39he's fair game.

00:59:42The Rowlands are supposed to be a respectable family.

00:59:45Poaching another woman's man

00:59:47is a pretty trashy look, don't you think?

00:59:50In my world, elite talent goes to the highest bidder.

00:59:54One hundred million dollars.

00:59:56Walk away with me, Adam.

00:59:58I'll liquidate your debt,

00:59:59and you'll call the shots at Rowland.

01:00:01What do you say?

01:00:03What's it going to be, Adam?

01:00:05Uh, nature calls.

01:00:06It's an absolute emergency.

01:00:08You two have fun chatting.

01:00:08I'm going to go ponder life with a bathroom stall.

01:00:11Hera wants me dead,

01:00:12Cassian wants me screwed,

01:00:13and now these two want to oxen me off.

01:00:15Fate has a twisted sense of humor.

01:00:18Well, Selina,

01:00:19it looks like your man isn't exactly ride or die for you.

01:00:23He belongs to me.

01:00:24That fact is non-negotiable.

01:00:27We'll see about that.

01:00:28Power shifts,

01:00:30and may the best woman win.

01:00:34Thank God I have good cardio.

01:00:36Those two are scarier than a divine lightning strike.

01:00:39Any longer,

01:00:39and they would have put a barcode on me.

01:00:41Who's there?

01:00:44Oh, it's just you.

01:00:45What, here for round two?

01:00:51Boss, Adam,

01:00:53please, let me be your lieutenant.

01:01:01Lieutenant,

01:01:02I don't run a crew.

01:01:03Get up off the floor.

01:01:04You dismantled me and a dozen of my best guys

01:01:05without breaking a sweat.

01:01:06I've never bowed to anyone in life,

01:01:07but I bow to you.

01:01:08I'm not getting up until you say yes.

01:01:09Is everyone in the mortal realm

01:01:10this clingy when they surrender?

01:01:12Fine, you're in.

01:01:12But here's your first assignment.

01:01:14Stay close to Taylor.

01:01:15Go deep cover and track

01:01:15every single move the Cross family makes.

01:01:17Understood, boss.

01:01:18Consider it done.

01:01:20Excuse me, young man.

01:01:21May I have a moment of your time?

01:01:22Bella, you two know each other?

01:01:23A pleasure to meet you, Adam.

01:01:25You're clearly a man of rare talents.

01:01:27Here is my card.

01:01:28The Howard family always aligns

01:01:30with people of true substance.

01:01:35Since alignment is on the table,

01:01:37why wait?

01:01:37There's a private lounge over there.

01:01:39Let's sit down and talk real business.

01:01:50Spoken like a man after my own heart.

01:02:05Adam, our discussion today

01:02:06has shed a completely new light on things.

01:02:08I'm going to have my team review

01:02:09the Sterling partnership immediately.

01:02:11Appreciate it.

01:02:11Just don't drag your feet.

01:02:12In business, if you leave a gap,

01:02:13the bad guys tend to cut in line.

01:02:16Wise words.

01:02:18Adam, it's getting late.

01:02:19Why don't I have my driver drop you guys off?

01:02:21Thanks for the offer,

01:02:23but we brought our own car.

01:02:24We can manage.

01:02:25Adam, if Selena's ever too busy

01:02:27to keep you a company,

01:02:28call me.

01:02:29My schedule is wide open for you.

01:02:31I'll check my calendar.

01:02:37With a face like that,

01:02:38it doesn't look like we just saved your company.

01:02:40It looks like you're drafting my obituary.

01:02:43We talk when we get home.

01:02:51First off,

01:02:52the Roland girl did all the digging herself.

01:02:53I didn't supply the shovel.

01:02:55Who the hell are you, Adam?

01:02:56Why does Mr. Roland treat you like an oracle?

01:02:58Why is Howard playing ball with you

01:02:59and Aaron?

01:03:00Why is she hunting you down?

01:03:01Maybe I just have one of those faces,

01:03:03like a stray cat that trouble wants to adopt.

01:03:06Do you think the Rollins are a better fit?

01:03:08Do you think Aaron is a better option than me?

01:03:12Is that jealousy I smell?

01:03:15Don't flatter yourself.

01:03:16It's practically written all over your face.

01:03:20Whatever you think,

01:03:21as long as this contract stands,

01:03:22you belong to the Sterling house.

01:03:23You're not going anywhere.

01:03:24Possessive much?

01:03:25Because if this is the standard treatment,

01:03:27that $100 million offer at Roland

01:03:28is starting to look real good.

01:03:29Real freedom.

01:03:30No midnight interrogations.

01:03:31Let me make one thing clear, Adam.

01:03:32I don't.

01:03:32I do divorce.

01:03:33Dead or alive,

01:03:33your name is on that contract.

01:03:34You are mine.

01:03:36Does the Sterling family philosophy of ownership

01:03:38come standard in the contract, Annex?

01:03:50I'm spent.

01:03:51Selena looks like a CEO,

01:03:52but her stamina is Olympian.

01:03:54If this keeps up,

01:03:55I'm going to expire in the mortal realm

01:03:56before I ever see Mount Olympias again.

01:03:58Jesus!

01:03:58Well, you guys were making enough noise last night

01:03:59to keep the whole block awake.

01:04:00I didn't get a wink of sleep.

01:04:02Don't you think I deserve a little compensation, Adam?

01:04:03Look, I'm already a casualty.

01:04:04I don't accept secondary rescue missions.

01:04:06Rough night, brother-in-law.

01:04:07Drink up while it's hot.

01:04:08Don't tell me you're trying to get a piece of me, too.

01:04:10Shut up!

01:04:11Don't flatter yourself.

01:04:12You're strictly forbidden

01:04:13from having inappropriate thoughts about me.

01:04:14Strictly forbidden, okay?

01:04:17This place isn't an estate.

01:04:18It's a labyrinth.

01:04:19Every door leads to a hazard zone.

01:04:23No, I need an exit strategy.

01:04:25I need to go make some honest money.

01:04:28Where do you think you're going?

01:04:29Aren't you going to take a breather?

01:04:31Selling pills.

01:04:33Liquidating debt.

01:04:34Staying alive.

01:04:37Step right up, folks.

01:04:39The divine, divine, sacred oak charcoal pills

01:04:42are back in stock.

01:04:43They might look dark,

01:04:44but the results are pure light.

01:04:47Guaranteed efficacy.

01:04:48Adam!

01:04:48Boss!

01:04:49We got a massive problem!

01:04:51Don't lose your head.

01:04:53Even if the sky is falling,

01:04:54you wait in line.

01:04:56Kane sent me to find you.

01:04:57Taylor and Victor just rolled up to Sterling Biotech

01:04:59with a massive crew of heavy hitters.

01:05:00Kane is tracking them right now.

01:05:01Now, but he says the whole place is turning into a war zone.

01:05:04At Sterling Group?

01:05:06Yes!

01:05:07Selena is trapped inside the executive wing.

01:05:11This is a private executive office.

01:05:14What the hell do you think you're doing breaching this floor?

01:05:18Executive office?

01:05:19Enjoy it while it lasts, Selena.

01:05:20Because your time as CEO expires today.

01:05:26I've mobilized the minority shareholders

01:05:28and locked down 30% of Sterling Biotech's total stock.

01:05:30You're sitting on a measly 25%.

01:05:32As of right now, I am the majority shareholder.

01:05:36The board has officially demanded

01:05:37your immediate removal from the CEO position.

01:05:39Martin,

01:05:40you're jumping into bed with the Cross family

01:05:42to sell out Sterling's interests?

01:05:44History is written by the victors.

01:05:46You're too green, Selena.

01:05:47The Sterling family can't afford

01:05:49to let you play your little games anymore.

01:05:53I told you a long time ago,

01:05:55marry me and you lose absolutely nothing.

01:05:57It's not too late to swallow your pride.

01:06:00Bend the knee

01:06:01and I might let you keep a nice, empty title

01:06:03as a figurehead CEO.

01:06:05You are a pathetic, spineless coward, Taylor!

01:06:08Now that Adam's gone,

01:06:10let's see who's going to save it.

01:06:13You even forged the internal board resolution.

01:06:16Looks like this wasn't a last-minute plan.

01:06:22I couldn't be bothered to deal with you

01:06:24before out of respect for Selena.

01:06:26But now you're running your mouth in front of me?

01:06:30Taylor, this is strictly corporate business

01:06:32between our two companies.

01:06:34Ava has nothing to do with this.

01:06:36Then it has everything to do with you.

01:06:38Today, you either sign these papers

01:06:39and get the hell out of that chair

01:06:41or you marry me.

01:06:42Don't worry, I'll find a very special place

01:06:44to handle both you and your little assistant.

01:06:46The wise adapt to their environment.

01:06:48Selena, for the sake of whatever history we used to have,

01:06:50exit gracefully

01:06:51and I won't make things too difficult for you.

01:06:54In your dreams.

01:06:59It's in black and white.

01:07:01Your defiance means absolutely nothing.

01:07:05Let's see who's brave enough

01:07:07to lay a finger on her.

01:07:09I take off for five minutes to open my stand

01:07:11and you guys immediately move in

01:07:12to smash my rice.

01:07:17Adam?

01:07:18What are you doing here?

01:07:20I heard some clowns were taking advantage

01:07:22of my absence

01:07:23to harass my primary line of credit.

01:07:27What took you so long?

01:07:29We almost got chewed up and spit out.

01:07:33Traffic.

01:07:34Plus, I brought my storefront sign

01:07:35just in case you failed to recognize

01:07:36my professional credentials.

01:07:37I remember telling you

01:07:38if I caught you bothering Selima again,

01:07:40it wouldn't be a gun getting broken.

01:07:42Your memory is apparently

01:07:43as short as your courage.

01:07:46Stay right there!

01:07:47I've got my brother

01:07:48and a whole army backing me today!

01:07:49Touch me

01:07:50and you're a dead man!

01:07:52Kane!

01:07:53Don't just stand there!

01:07:54Take him down!

01:07:56Are you blind?

01:07:57I told you to hit him!

01:07:59Boss.

01:08:02Since when are you on his payroll?

01:08:05Let me give you a reality check.

01:08:06I walked out of the dark

01:08:07and into the light.

01:08:09Rolling with Adam offers a future

01:08:10unlike backing a privileged punk like you.

01:08:13You can be broke,

01:08:14but you can't be blind.

01:08:15Your leader already made the smart play.

01:08:17What are the rest of you waiting for?

01:08:19This is mutiny!

01:08:20Victor, you saw that!

01:08:22They don't give a damn

01:08:22about the cross name!

01:08:24Kill them all!

01:08:24Wipe that smug look off their faces!

01:08:28Running to Big Brother

01:08:29the second you are outmatched?

01:08:30You have really mastered

01:08:31that particular skill.

01:08:33Adam,

01:08:33I know you can throw a punch,

01:08:34but this is not a street brawl.

01:08:36The contract is right here

01:08:37and the shares are accounted for.

01:08:38The hostile takeover of Sterling Group

01:08:39is already etched in stone.

01:08:41No matter how strong your hands are,

01:08:42you cannot erase ink on paper.

01:08:44Drop it, Adam.

01:08:46The cross family came fully locked and loaded.

01:08:49There is no reason for you to drown

01:08:51in this sinking ship for me.

01:08:56Are you kidding?

01:08:57If the Sterling house falls,

01:08:59what is my status as a contract husband?

01:09:01I have not even finished

01:09:02milking my sugar mama lifestyle yet.

01:09:05Big words.

01:09:06Since you insist on playing the martyr,

01:09:08don't expect a shred of mercy from the cross.

01:09:12Hold your horses.

01:09:13Are not you popping the champagne

01:09:14a bit too early?

01:09:18You think you are the only one

01:09:19who can place a phone call?

01:09:24The paperwork might be arranged,

01:09:26but have you actually secured

01:09:28the core R&D data

01:09:29and patent portfolios?

01:09:38Mr. Rowland?

01:09:39Mr. Howard?

01:09:40What is the meaning of this intrusion?

01:09:41Selina, here is the official

01:09:4310% block of Sterling shares

01:09:44acquired by the Rowland family.

01:09:46The contracts are fully executed

01:09:47and we are transferring ownership

01:09:48to you right now.

01:09:48The Howard family has secured

01:09:50an identical 10% stake.

01:09:51Selina, consider our joint venture

01:09:52active as of today.

01:09:54That's a fresh 20%.

01:09:55Combine that with Selina's baseline 25

01:09:56and she's sitting at a dominant 45%.

01:09:58Ultimate control.

01:09:59Victor, does your little 30% alliance

01:10:01even qualify you to sit at the table anymore?

01:10:04Executing a silent accumulation

01:10:05of that magnitude requires

01:10:06flawless institutional planning.

01:10:08When exactly did you engineer

01:10:09this festival?

01:10:11Perfect timing.

01:10:12Exactly 24 hours ahead of your schedule.

01:10:14Impossible!

01:10:15Our operational security was airtight!

01:10:17There is no way we had a leak!

01:10:19Didn't need a leak.

01:10:20You guys practically broadcast

01:10:21generic villain all over your faces.

01:10:22I'd have to be blind to miss it.

01:10:24Rowland, Howard,

01:10:25Cross has no bad blood

01:10:26with your institutions.

01:10:26Are you truly willing to break the peace

01:10:28and wage war against my family

01:10:29for this nobody?

01:10:30I personally bet it's

01:10:31infinitely more value

01:10:32than a room full of suits

01:10:33trying to hijack a board.

01:10:36Don't try to play the Cross card

01:10:38to intimidate me, boy.

01:10:39I was running an empire

01:10:41while you were still sitting

01:10:42in the back row

01:10:42listening to board lectures.

01:10:46Adam saved my life.

01:10:47Furthermore,

01:10:48the Cross family's

01:10:49unbrawled tactile

01:10:49extra-step lines

01:10:50for too long.

01:10:51Instead of waiting for you

01:10:52to cannibalize thirst

01:10:53and eventually turn your sights

01:10:54a threat right now.

01:10:55Fine.

01:10:56Since you reject

01:10:56a civilized resolution

01:10:58and choose violence,

01:10:59you can all rock together.

01:11:00Last time,

01:11:01Taylor brought a single piece

01:11:02of hardware

01:11:02and I thought that was

01:11:03keep lawlessness.

01:11:04I didn't realize

01:11:04you kept a private

01:11:05paramilitary squad on retainer.

01:11:06I'm flattered.

01:11:07Do you think you can

01:11:07fight your way out of this?

01:11:09What can one man do

01:11:10against a hundred?

01:11:11This entire floor

01:11:12belongs to me.

01:11:13Today, not a single soul,

01:11:14not Howard,

01:11:15and certainly not a single Sterling

01:11:16walks out of this building.

01:11:17Light them up!

01:11:17Turn every single one of them

01:11:18into Swiss cheese!

01:11:19Since negotiation has failed,

01:11:21let's ensure this room

01:11:22stays in peace inside.

01:11:30Freeze.

01:11:34Victor,

01:11:35what the hell

01:11:36am I looking at?

01:11:38Shut up.

01:11:45Hey,

01:11:46if these guys drop

01:11:47dead inside your office,

01:11:48is it going to cause

01:11:49a massive complotation

01:11:50headache for your firm?

01:11:51Yes.

01:11:52Shredding them

01:11:53with high caliber rounds

01:11:53on corporate property

01:11:54is going to be impossible

01:11:55to explain to the police.

01:11:56Got it.

01:11:57You mortals

01:11:58have way too many regulations.

01:11:59They're allowed

01:12:00to initiate a shootout,

01:12:01but my retaliation

01:12:02has to factor in

01:12:02your quarterly earnings report.

01:12:05Young master,

01:12:06total catastrophe!

01:12:08The cross-family state.

01:12:09It was just completely

01:12:10leveled by a rain of bullets.

01:12:16What the hell are you?

01:12:18Me?

01:12:18Just your average,

01:12:19everyday demigod of thunder

01:12:21banished from Mount Olympus

01:12:22to clear a heavy debt sheet.

01:12:29Oh, now you run?

01:12:30You were real brave

01:12:31when you were flipping

01:12:32the safety off.

01:12:36Stay back!

01:12:37You can't kill us!

01:12:39Murder is illegal!

01:12:42We are heirs

01:12:43to the cross dynasty.

01:12:44If you lay a finger

01:12:45on us today,

01:12:46the entire institution

01:12:46will execute

01:12:47absolute retaliation.

01:12:49When you breached

01:12:50this floor

01:12:50with automatic weapons,

01:12:51I assumed your respect

01:12:52for statutory law

01:12:53was pretty minimal.

01:12:55Aren't you a demigod?

01:12:56Taking lives

01:12:57drops your cosmic karma.

01:12:58It'll totally screw up

01:12:59your access card

01:13:00back to Olympus, right?

01:13:01You actually make

01:13:02a valid point.

01:13:03I forgot about that metric.

01:13:04Burning karma points

01:13:05is an absolute pain to fix.

01:13:09What did you just

01:13:10implant in me?

01:13:12I don't do executions,

01:13:13but I possess

01:13:14an extensive catalog

01:13:15of ways to make you

01:13:16regret breathing

01:13:17while keeping you alive.

01:13:18What the hell is that?

01:13:20The thunder tickle curse.

01:13:21The target experiences

01:13:22a total nervous overload

01:13:23of phantom itching.

01:13:24It forces non-stop

01:13:26hysterical laughter

01:13:26until the body

01:13:27goes into complete

01:13:28muscular exhaustion.

01:13:29Don't worry,

01:13:29it's non-lethal,

01:13:30just incredibly undignified.

01:13:32Your choice of methodology

01:13:33is aggressively sadistic.

01:13:36They were literally preparing

01:13:37to execute a firing squad

01:13:38on this room.

01:13:39I'm being incredibly gentle.

01:13:43Victor Cross,

01:13:44Taylor Cross,

01:13:45we have a warrant

01:13:45for your arrest.

01:13:46You're charged

01:13:47with unlawful possession

01:13:47of military-grade weapons,

01:13:49black market arms trafficking,

01:13:50and corporate extortion.

01:13:51Stand up and face the wall.

01:13:52Take me!

01:13:53Just lock me up!

01:13:54I want maximum security!

01:13:56Put me in a cell!

01:13:57Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

01:13:58I confess.

01:13:59I organized the entire

01:14:01tactical lake out.

01:14:02Just make this curse stop!

01:14:06Don't move.

01:14:07I almost left you

01:14:08off the audit report.

01:14:09No!

01:14:10I was coerced!

01:14:11They held a gun to my head!

01:14:12I didn't actually execute anything!

01:14:14You didn't look very coerced

01:14:15when you were dropping

01:14:15forged shareholder allocations

01:14:17on my desk

01:14:18to demand my resignation.

01:14:23Stop!

01:14:24Stop!

01:14:28And what did you lay on him?

01:14:30The hex of total misfortune.

01:14:31For the foreseeable future,

01:14:33he's going to trip over flat surfaces,

01:14:34choke on tap water,

01:14:35and get absolutely guttered

01:14:36on every contract he signs.

01:14:38Custom tailored

01:14:38for a backstabbing relative.

01:14:40So,

01:14:41did you suddenly realize

01:14:42your contract husband

01:14:43offers a massive return

01:14:44on investment?

01:14:49Thank you both for stepping in.

01:14:51Without your leverage,

01:14:53Sterling Biotech

01:14:54wouldn't have stabilized

01:14:54this quickly.

01:14:55Don't thank me.

01:14:57We only threw our weight

01:14:58around for Adam.

01:14:59Adam saved my life.

01:15:00Backing the Sterling house

01:15:01is just clearing a bit

01:15:02of my debt to him.

01:15:04Adam,

01:15:04after today,

01:15:05the Cross family

01:15:05won't be dynamic enough

01:15:06to mount a pantback

01:15:07anytime soon.

01:15:08The Sterling house

01:15:09finally has some breathing room.

01:15:10Good.

01:15:10At least I won't have a guy

01:15:11in a neon pink

01:15:12Secklin suit

01:15:13blocking my front door

01:15:13every day.

01:15:14Boss,

01:15:15I'll take off too.

01:15:16If you ever need muscle,

01:15:17you know how to reach me.

01:15:18Just stop taking

01:15:19brainless contracts

01:15:20from punks like Taylor.

01:15:21Consider it a rule.

01:15:23The way you two

01:15:24are looking at me

01:15:24is setting off alarms.

01:15:26Let's be clear.

01:15:27I have officially

01:15:28reached my overtime

01:15:29limit for the day.

01:15:31Back to the estate.

01:15:32We need to have

01:15:33a serious talk.

01:15:38So you're telling us

01:15:39you're not just

01:15:40some eccentric guy

01:15:41but an actual

01:15:42demigod of thunder

01:15:43from Mount Olympus?

01:15:44You guys are

01:15:45interrogating me

01:15:45in perfect unison.

01:15:46Do I even have

01:15:47the option to deny it?

01:15:48A demigod?

01:15:49Rolling with you

01:15:50must pack a hell

01:15:51of a lot more voltage

01:15:52than a regular guy.

01:15:54Did you know this

01:15:54from the very beginning?

01:15:55I knew who

01:15:56I had no clue

01:15:56your family's

01:15:56ancient contract

01:15:57would automatically

01:15:57manifest my name on it.

01:15:58Technically speaking,

01:15:59I'm a victim of

01:15:59circumstance here too.

01:16:00What is your

01:16:00objectual in the

01:16:01mortal realm?

01:16:02Kicked down by the

01:16:02elders, forced to

01:16:03settle a massive debt

01:16:04and dissolve the

01:16:04trying to get

01:16:05assassinated by

01:16:05Hera's hit squads.

01:16:06Sounds like a

01:16:07cluster F, right?

01:16:07Trust me, I agree.

01:16:12Once you complete

01:16:13this trial,

01:16:14will you leave?

01:16:18Yeah, Adam.

01:16:24Then when exactly

01:16:25are you clocking out?

01:16:26Hard to tell.

01:16:28My divine signals

01:16:28are already locking

01:16:29back into place.

01:16:30Once the trial wraps,

01:16:31Olympus will

01:16:31automatically reel me

01:16:32back up.

01:16:34Absolutely not.

01:16:37Defiance won't

01:16:38change the metrics.

01:16:38I said absolutely not

01:16:39when they threw me

01:16:39off the mountain.

01:16:40You think Kaz listened?

01:16:41You are my contract

01:16:41husband.

01:16:42This covenant

01:16:42hasn't been dissolved

01:16:43yet, which you don't

01:16:44get to just pack up

01:16:44and walk away.

01:16:45Look, the cross dynasty

01:16:46is broken and your

01:16:47corporate crisis is managed.

01:16:48You don't actually need

01:16:48me as a human shield

01:16:49anymore.

01:16:49Whoever said I was

01:16:50only using you

01:16:51as a shield?

01:16:52Selina, I have to

01:16:53chime in on this.

01:16:54You've monopolized Adam

01:16:55all this time and the

01:16:56rest of us haven't even

01:16:56had a taste of what a

01:16:57God feels like yet.

01:16:58Suki, if he's going to

01:16:59vanish, the least he

01:17:00can do is leave the

01:17:00rest of us with

01:17:01something to remember

01:17:01him by.

01:17:02You're being aggressively

01:17:02transparent right now.

01:17:03Oh, please.

01:17:04Like you aren't

01:17:04thinking the exact same

01:17:05thing?

01:17:07Selina, Adam literally

01:17:09saved my life.

01:17:10If he's really leaving,

01:17:12I don't want to regret

01:17:12keeping my mouth shut

01:17:13forever.

01:17:14Hold on a second.

01:17:15Can the actual subject

01:17:16of this data sheet get

01:17:17a vote?

01:17:18I am not an Olympian

01:17:19souvenir.

01:17:20You're about to become

01:17:22one.

01:17:23I'm telling you,

01:17:25mortal marriage laws are

01:17:26complicated and even a

01:17:27celestial entity shouldn't

01:17:28violate the protocol.

01:17:31I'm taking the first shift

01:17:32today.

01:17:32Based on what logic,

01:17:33you've already consumed the

01:17:34maximum allocation of his

01:17:35time during this entire

01:17:36deployment.

01:17:36Can you two stop talking

01:17:37about him like he's a shift

01:17:38schedule on a spreadsheet?

01:17:39Fine.

01:17:39Want to map it out?

01:17:39Monday through Thursday,

01:17:40one day per person, and

01:17:41we take Fridays off?

01:17:41Hey, I am standing right

01:17:42here.

01:17:42Mapping out a rotation right

01:17:43in front of my face is

01:17:44wildly disrespectful.

01:17:45Shut up!

01:17:47Oh, great.

01:17:48The nightmare is manifesting.

01:17:50The sirens were just bad

01:17:51marketing.

01:17:52But these women are running a

01:17:53hostile board peating to

01:17:54divide my assets.

01:17:58Trying to execute an

01:17:59escape plan?

01:18:00Adam, don't go.

01:18:01I highly advise against

01:18:02resisting Selena's temper

01:18:03threshold today.

01:18:04Are you going to walk over

01:18:05here willingly, or do I need

01:18:06to authorize a total lockdown

01:18:07on the doors?

01:18:08Do I have the option to call

01:18:08911?

01:18:09You literally just announced

01:18:10you're a demigod.

01:18:11The police department doesn't

01:18:12domesticate celestial disputes.

01:18:21This is a coordinated ambush?

01:18:23Is this even constitutional in

01:18:25the mortal realm?

01:18:25The contract makes it

01:18:27constitutional.

01:18:31Cassian!

01:18:32I will literally accept

01:18:33a force re-

01:18:34Hancock to you, Olympus,

01:18:36right now!

01:18:42This isn't mortal affection.

01:18:44This is a localized

01:18:46circle of hell.

01:18:47My spine.

01:18:50Damn it.

01:18:52The signals

01:18:53are fully integrated.

01:19:07This is a freshly brewed venison

01:19:09broth and herbal energy

01:19:10tonic.

01:19:11Consume it immediately to rebuild

01:19:13your baseline stamina.

01:19:14I've curated an extensive menu of performance

01:19:17oncing options here.

01:19:18We can trial them one by one later.

01:19:20You're going to love it.

01:19:22I reviewed the nutritional data sheets.

01:19:24Every high-vealed recovery supplement available

01:19:25is right here.

01:19:26I assisted with the culinary prep too.

01:19:33I appreciate the logistics ladies, but seriously, stand down.

01:19:37Are you executing another evasion tactic?

01:19:38I am not evading.

01:19:39My divine matrix is fully realigned, which means Olympus is going to trigger my recall protocol

01:19:44imitantly.

01:19:46I have to return.

01:19:48I need to undergo the final initialization of the Thunder Trials.

01:19:57Tell me this is just a bad joke.

01:20:00If you want a jump contract, just state it.

01:20:04You don't need to invent Mount Olympus as an alibi.

01:20:08I wish it were an alibi.

01:20:11But Celestial signals don't falsify data.

01:20:14Why is the timeline suddenly this aggressive?

01:20:18I didn't expect it either.

01:20:20Apparently, last night...

01:20:26The extreme emotional spike forced a major escalation from the Trials' metrics.

01:20:32Then what is your remaining window of deployment?

01:20:35A couple of days.

01:20:37Max.

01:20:38I need to locate an isolated grid to channel the lightning descent, or this entire estate

01:20:43will be reduced to a blast radius.

01:20:45But before my extraction protocol initiates, I have one remaining objective.

01:20:51Your winter blood condition.

01:20:53I'm purging it from your system permanently.

01:20:56Right now?

01:20:58Right now.

01:21:04Brace yourself.

01:21:06The cold core...

01:21:09...is anchored deep inside the bone marrow.

01:21:12If we don't extract it fully, it'll just regenerate later.

01:21:19It's too deep.

01:21:20It's too deep.

01:21:21Final needle.

01:21:22Don't move.

01:21:28One final step to execute.

01:21:38Your cold anomaly is anchored too deep.

01:21:41Standard procedures can only suppress the symptoms, not eliminate the source.

01:21:45My remaining timeline doesn't allow for a gradual treatment, so I have to use the most volatile method available.

01:21:55You're bleeding.

01:21:56Open your mouth.

01:21:58You're bleeding.

01:21:59Open your mouth.

01:22:02It's so warm.

01:22:04Thank you, Adam.

01:22:06Get some sleep.

01:22:08Once your consciousness restores, you'll never have to worry about the winter blood flare-ups again.

01:22:19What's the status?

01:22:22Relax.

01:22:23The cold source has been completely purged from her system.

01:22:26She just needs some downtime.

01:22:28What about your hand?

01:22:30A minor scratch.

01:22:31A little divine blood loss won't compromise my operational capacity.

01:22:35You're literally on the verge of extraction, and you still went to this length for her.

01:22:40I close out my debts whenever possible.

01:22:43I don't want any unresolved karma messing with my head the next time Olympus starts throwing lightning.

01:22:51So, you are absolutely executing your exit protocol.

01:22:55Yeah.

01:22:56Now that Ivy's data is cleared, it's time for me to prep for departure.

01:23:02You don't need to look at me like that.

01:23:03Every deployment comes to an end.

01:23:05If our trajectories align again, we'll cross paths in the future.

01:23:09Easy for you to say.

01:23:11I refuse to let you vanish without a proper send-off protocol.

01:23:15We never finalize the official paperwork.

01:23:18I feel like I've mismanaged your time here.

01:23:21And I don't want our entire history to just be about you saving my life.

01:23:26Hold on.

01:23:27Don't tell me you're attempting to hold another board meeting to allocate my remaining hours.

01:23:31Nothing that complex.

01:23:32Since your extraction is imminent, the least you can do is sit for a wedding photo shoot to leave us

01:23:38with a visual record.

01:23:41A wedding shoot?

01:23:42Four brides at once?

01:23:44Is that even compliant with mortal family statutes?

01:23:47Taking a photograph violates zero local ordinances.

01:23:50You literally froze a ballistic trajectory in mid-air.

01:23:54Don't tell me you're intimidated by a camera lens.

01:23:57The camera isn't the threat.

01:23:58The four of you surrounding me in bridal gowns is what's terrifying.

01:24:03Cut the talk.

01:24:04Move to the wardrobe room and change.

01:24:15Everyone set, look right at the lens and give me a smile.

01:24:42Manage yourself well.

01:24:43Sterling Biotech relies entirely on your leadership now.

01:24:46If any hazards emerge, leverage Roland and Howard.

01:24:48They won't leave you. I've negotiated that for you.

01:24:50Will you ever route your way back to me?

01:24:52I absolutely despise making commitments.

01:24:54But then again, I despise leaving a debt sheet unbalanced even more.

01:24:58Stay safe, all of you.

01:24:59Stop downing weird performance-enhancing drinks.

01:25:01And definitely stop launching coordinated ambushes on higher entrances.

01:25:05Then when you return, can we authorize one more ambush?

01:25:08You really refuse to give me a clean exit protocol, don't you?

01:25:13Safe travels.

01:25:17Adam!

01:25:18I'll be waiting for your return!

01:25:19I'll be waiting too!

01:25:20Don't be long!

01:25:21Stick to your word.

01:25:32How is this statistically possible?

01:25:34Are you two experiencing symptoms too?

01:25:38Get the medical team on the line.
