00:00I came into this marriage with two cars.
00:02My mother-in-law took one.
00:04My husband took the other.
00:06When my new commute meant I needed one of my own cars back,
00:09my sister-in-law slapped me eight times just for asking.
00:11You want to drive it? Fine!
00:14You want that car so bad? Here, take it! Here!
00:20And my own husband?
00:21He let it happen.
00:25Funny how they all forgot.
00:26Those cars were mine long before I married Julian.
00:34I don't know what I was going to do.
00:34Chloe, can we talk about the car?
00:36I'm working 40 kilometers from home now,
00:39so I really need the classic back for my commute.
00:42No way!
00:43What am I supposed to do, walk to work?
00:47Would it be okay if you took the bus for a while?
00:49Your office is only two kilometers away,
00:51and there's a direct route.
00:52Are you kidding me?
00:53I'm a manager.
00:55You expect me to show up to work on a bus?
00:58I'd never live that down.
00:59But you were taking the bus before I married Julian.
01:02And didn't we agree that since I wasn't using the car,
01:05Chloe could borrow it for a while?
01:11You're back!
01:12Ellie!
01:12I'm up for a promotion to department manager.
01:15Everyone else in the office drives something nice.
01:17I'm the only one without a decent car.
01:19Your classic car is just sitting there anyway.
01:21Do you think I could borrow it for a couple of days?
01:24Isn't a promotion supposed to be based on performance?
01:28What does your car have to do with it?
01:30Ellie, please.
01:32Image matters.
01:33If the bosses see me in a nice car,
01:34they'll think I'm successful and well-connected.
01:37I can't keep showing up on the bus every morning.
01:39It just looks bad.
01:41Come on, Chloe.
01:42We're family.
01:44Honey, you barely used the car anyway.
01:47Why not let Chloe have it for now?
01:51She'll give it back when you need it.
01:53Fine.
02:05Thanks, honey.
02:15That was before.
02:16I'm a manager now.
02:18I can't exactly show up to work on the bus.
02:20Then give me the BMW you're driving.
02:22No, I need the BMW.
02:24Why don't you just take mom's old bike?
02:25You seriously expect me to bike 40 kilometers to work?
02:28What's wrong with the bike?
02:29No gas, no traffic.
02:30What more do you want?
02:35Why should I have to?
02:38Those are my cars.
02:39I brought them into this marriage.
02:41And now I'm not even allowed to drive one?
02:44Yours, please.
02:46You married into the Pierce family.
02:48Whatever you brought with you is ours now.
02:50Besides, what do you even need a car like that for?
02:53Cars like that are for people who need to look the part.
02:56Know your place.
02:57My name's on the title.
02:59You want the car that badly?
03:01Fine.
03:02Seven to grand.
03:04If you want it, buy it.
03:09You really think you can talk to me like that?
03:11Who the hell do you think you are?
03:13Who the hell do you think you are?
03:16Who the hell do you think you are?
03:19It's my family's car.
03:21Why should I pay you a dime?
03:23You want the car so bad?
03:27Here, take it.
03:29Chloe, stop.
03:34That's enough, Chloe.
03:35That car is mine.
03:37Try taking it back again, and I'll beat you to death.
03:44Julian, you just stood there and let her do that to me?
03:46She's my sister, Ellie.
03:48She lost her temper.
03:49Can't you just let it go?
03:50Let it go?
03:51After she did that to me?
03:54Julian, what kind of husband are you?
03:56What do you want me to do?
03:57Hit her back for you?
03:58I've known her my whole life.
04:00I'm not choosing you over her.
04:04And you did push her too far.
04:06Maybe you brought this on yourself.
04:08Fine.
04:09She's done nothing wrong.
04:10I'm the idiot.
04:12Coward.
04:13Eight slaps.
04:14I won't forget a single one.
04:16This isn't over.
04:24Look at that attitude.
04:26I should have hit her harder.
04:28You need to toughen up.
04:30If your wife gets out of line, sometimes you have to teach her a lesson.
04:36Otherwise, she'll walk all over you.
04:38I get it.
04:47Ellie, I may not have much now, but I'll spend the rest of my life loving you and making
04:52you happy.
04:53Will you marry me?
04:54Say yes.
04:55Say yes.
04:56Say yes.
04:57Say yes!
04:59Chloe, did you use my bathroom?
05:01Yeah?
05:02You left hair all over the bathroom after your shower.
05:04Could you at least clean up after yourself?
05:06This is my house.
05:07I'll do whatever the hell I want.
05:08You don't get to boss me around.
05:11You...
05:11Chloe, come on.
05:13Keep your wife in line.
05:17It's just a little mess, Ellie.
05:19Clean it up and let it go.
05:20You know how Chloe is.
05:25Ellie, get up and make dinner.
05:28Mum, I've got a fever.
05:29Could you handle dinner today?
05:31I'm really not feeling well.
05:33I'm too old for all that.
05:34Just tough it out.
05:36It's only dinner.
05:37It won't take you long.
05:38I really don't feel well.
05:40Can't we order in or eat out today?
05:42I'm not eating that takeout junk.
05:44Now hurry up.
05:45Julian will be home any minute.
05:52Wait.
05:54Take some food and eat on the balcony.
05:56Don't get the rest of us sick.
05:58I cooked for all of you with a fever.
06:00And now I can't even sit at the table?
06:02How is that fair?
06:05Honey, Mom's right.
06:06My parents can't afford to get sick.
06:08Just eat outside tonight and don't make a big deal out of it.
06:19Let her eat by herself.
06:21Honestly, she's way too spoiled.
06:25Chloe could walk all over me.
06:27Diane could act sweet to my face and turn on me the next second.
06:31And the man who once swore he'd love me forever?
06:34Ellie, will you marry me?
06:36All I ever heard from him was that's just how Chloe is or Mom's right.
06:42Not once.
06:44Not once did he ever stand up for me.
06:47He let his own sister hit me and never lifted a finger.
06:53I put up with this for a year and they only treated me worse.
06:57I'm done taking it.
07:03Honey, open up.
07:05Let me put some medicine on that.
07:08Honey, I know you're upset.
07:10But that's just how Chloe is.
07:12Just try to go along with her next time.
07:16Chloe's been driving that car for over a year.
07:18You can't just take it back and expect her not to be upset.
07:22Just take this as a lesson and let it go, okay?
07:26Open the door.
07:27Ellie, open this door!
07:32A prenup?
07:34Why would I need that?
07:36Honey, please listen to us.
07:38We're only trying to protect you.
07:42I don't want a prenup.
07:44I trust Julian.
07:45Signing something like that would only come between us.
07:47Tear that up and you're not marrying him!
07:49Shh, shh.
07:51You know what the Piercers are like.
07:53Without this prenup, they'll bleed you dry.
07:56They would never do that to me.
07:59You say that now.
08:00You'll see once you're married.
08:02Keep this safe.
08:03If things ever turn ugly, you'll be glad you have it.
08:08Fine.
08:09I'll keep it.
08:10Not that I'll ever need it.
08:14Mum, Dad.
08:16I finally understand what you were trying to protect me from.
08:19The Pierce have taken enough from me.
08:24Now I'm taking it all back.
08:26With interest.
08:31Ellie!
08:32Open the door!
08:33You've got three seconds before I...
08:36Where are you going?
08:38None of your business.
08:39Get out of my way.
08:43Ellie!
08:45Let her go.
08:46Her family made some money off convenience stores and suddenly in sync she's above us.
08:50She should be grateful she married into the Pierces.
08:53Julian works in finance.
08:55Money doesn't give her the right to do whatever she wants.
08:57I'll deal with her.
09:01I had a seven-day business trip coming up and I was supposed to come back as vice president.
09:05I was going to tell Julian.
09:06Not anymore.
09:10Hello?
09:11Hi.
09:11Is this the auto appraisal center?
09:12Yes, it is.
09:13I'm looking to sell a couple of cars.
09:15Sure.
09:16What are you looking to sell?
09:17A classic Mercedes SL and a BMW 5 case.
09:20The BMW is only a year old.
09:22Both are in excellent condition, no accidents, and all the paperwork's in order.
09:26They're both really that clean?
09:27Price is negotiable.
09:29If someone takes both, I'll cut them a deal.
09:31I just need payment in full and a quick sale.
09:33Sure.
09:34Send me your contact info.
09:35I'll reach out as soon as I have an update.
09:37Thanks.
09:37I appreciate it.
09:41I thought giving in would earn me their love.
09:43Instead, all I got were schemes and slaps.
09:46Well, I'm awake now.
09:48In seven days, I'll settle every score, old and new.
09:55Hi, Jack.
09:56Miss Ashford, I found a buyer who can pay in full.
09:59He just wants to see the classic in person first.
10:01Set it for this afternoon.
10:03I need to stop by the office first.
10:04Sure.
10:05I'll set it up.
10:07The promotion should be official today.
10:10Maybe things are finally looking up.
10:14Morning, Miss Ashford.
10:17Good morning, Mrs. Ashford.
10:23Why is everyone acting so weird today?
10:27Come in.
10:31Here's everything from the trip.
10:32I think you'll be pleased.
10:36We talked about this before your trip.
10:38You were supposed to move to headquarters when you got back.
10:41Of course.
10:42I'll be there as planned.
10:44Here's what happened.
10:45Headquarters reviewed the decision again
10:47and decided not to move forward with your transfer.
10:49The transfer order was already issued.
10:51How can they just cancel it?
10:52You're more than qualified for the job.
10:55The problem isn't your work.
10:56It's what happened with your family.
10:59What does that mean?
11:03See for yourself.
11:06Come on, everybody.
11:07Come see this.
11:11My daughter-in-law is trying to have a baby
11:14and they want to ship her off somewhere far away for work.
11:17Is that how you treat people?
11:19Someone better do something about this.
11:24She's married and trying for a baby
11:26and you want her commuting 40 kilometers every day?
11:29What kind of heartless company does that?
11:31Somebody better make this right.
11:36It's something we...
11:37I don't want to hear it.
11:39Cancel the transfer
11:39or I'm taking this straight to the labor board.
11:42They didn't stop here.
11:44They went to headquarters, too.
11:46Corporate decided all this family drama
11:48could interfere with your work,
11:49so they pulled the transfer.
11:51Please.
11:51You know how hard I've worked for this.
11:53Isn't there anything we can do?
11:55Handle things at home first.
11:57Then we'll talk.
11:59I understand.
12:04Julian, did you know Chloe and Diane
12:06came to my office and caused a scene?
12:09Yeah.
12:11You knew?
12:12Then why the hell didn't you stop them?
12:15I don't see what they did wrong.
12:16Your company wants to send you 40 kilometers away
12:18and turn our whole life upside down?
12:21You shouldn't be going at all.
12:22It was a promotion.
12:23I worked for years for that job.
12:25Interview after interview,
12:27review after review.
12:28I fought for it and I finally got it.
12:30You're a woman.
12:31Why are you so obsessed with climbing the ladder?
12:33You should be thinking about having a baby.
12:35Giving me a son matters more than some job.
12:37So that's all I am to you?
12:39Someone to give you a son?
12:41And everything I've worked for means nothing?
12:43Do it for this family.
12:45For me.
12:48This is all about keeping my cars, isn't it?
12:51You brought them into this marriage.
12:52They're part of this family now, not just yours.
12:56Go to hell!
13:00You want my cars?
13:01Fine.
13:02Let's see who actually owns them.
13:07Hey!
13:07What do you think you're doing?
13:08That's Miss Pierce's car.
13:09Step away from it.
13:12Check the title.
13:13My name's on it.
13:15It really is yours.
13:17Then why does Miss Pierce keep telling everyone it's hers?
13:20Because she has no shame.
13:31If Chloe asks,
13:33tell her a year behind the wheel
13:34still doesn't make it her car.
13:35And tell her to have some damn shame.
13:49Miss Ashford, this is Daniel Esco, owner of Esco Group.
13:52Nothing fancy.
13:52I just collect debts.
13:54Mr. Esco, nice to meet you.
13:55Likewise.
13:56So this is the classic?
13:57Take your time.
13:58Look it over.
14:04Chloe treated that car like it was part of her identity.
14:07No wonder she kept it spotless.
14:09Too bad it was never hers.
14:12This car's been beautifully maintained.
14:15Glad you like it.
14:16What about the BMW?
14:18My husband has it.
14:19It's in about the same condition.
14:22Do you want to see it?
14:24No need.
14:25I trust you.
14:26I'm mainly here for the classic anyway.
14:27The BMW's for one of my guys.
14:29Name your price for both.
14:31Fair enough.
14:31I'll give you a straight price.
14:3380 grand for the classic.
14:3515 for the BMW.
14:3675 grand takes both.
14:38Deal.
14:40Then let's sign now.
14:41We can transfer the titles tomorrow.
14:43Works for me.
14:44Right this way.
14:45I'll draw up the contract.
14:54I've sent the deposit.
14:55Got it.
14:56I'll see you tomorrow for the title transfer.
15:22I'll see you tomorrow for the next time.
15:31Who gets the car later?
15:32You cost me my promotion.
15:34You took my car.
15:35Hit me eight times.
15:36And never stopped taking from me.
15:38That house isn't my home anymore.
15:40And now you want to talk?
15:42Too late.
15:44You're never getting that car back.
16:00My girl has always been beautiful.
16:03Dad.
16:05Mom.
16:08Honey?
16:09What happened?
16:10Who hurt you?
16:12Julian.
16:13His family.
16:14They've been awful to me.
16:16What the hell happened?
16:17Start from the beginning.
16:21This is outrageous.
16:23I warned you about the piercers from the start, but you wouldn't listen.
16:27That's enough.
16:28Not now.
16:30I was wrong.
16:32It's not too late, sweetheart.
16:35What matters is that you see them clearly now.
16:37We may not be the richest family around, but we have enough money and connections to
16:41make sure the piercers answer for what they did to you.
16:44Thanks, Dad.
16:45But this time I want to handle it myself.
16:48Don't worry.
16:48I'm done letting love blind me.
16:50Whatever they took from me, I'm taking back.
16:52Every last bit of it.
16:54Of course we believe you, sweetheart.
16:56Come on, let me make you your favorite roast chicken.
16:58Your room's all ready for you.
17:00Have some dinner, get a good night's sleep, and don't worry about anything else tonight.
17:08No matter what happens, this is where I belong.
17:12This is home.
17:17Both cars are yours now.
17:18I'll send the balance in a minute.
17:20As for the cars...
17:23Mom?
17:24Ellie!
17:25Chloe took your classic Mercedes.
17:27She must have driven it off without us noticing.
17:30She took it?
17:31Got it, Mom.
17:32I'll handle it.
17:33Something wrong with the cars?
17:35My sister-in-law just took off with the classic.
17:38She still has a spare key, and they have the BMW, too.
17:41I need to go get both cars back.
17:42I'm guessing they're not exactly going to hand them over.
17:46They don't give anything up without a fight.
17:48But don't worry.
17:49I'll get both cars to you on time.
17:51Leave it to me.
17:53Did you forget what I do for a living?
17:56Debt collection?
17:58Exactly.
18:01Send me the locations.
18:02Time for me to go collect what's mine.
18:05I appreciate it, Mr. Esco.
18:09I'll let you know when it's done.
18:12Mr. Esco can take care of the cars.
18:15But my marriage?
18:16That's mine to end.
18:19Julian, I want a divorce.
18:25Chloe, don't you think it's a little wrong for us to go on a family trip without Ellie?
18:30She brought it on herself.
18:32She took my car without permission and had the nerve to talk back to me.
18:35You're too soft, son.
18:37When a woman gets out of line, you have to put her in her place.
18:41Ignore her for a few days and she'll come crawling back.
18:47Chloe, Mom.
18:49Ellie says she wants a divorce.
18:50What do I do?
18:53Ignore her.
18:54Married couples threaten divorce all the time.
18:56How many of them actually go through with it?
18:57She's just throwing a tantrum.
18:59If you give in now, she'll walk all over you forever.
19:03Mom's right.
19:04You're the man.
19:05You can't let your wife push you around.
19:08If anyone should be scared of divorce, it's her.
19:10Who'd want a divorced woman?
19:12If you're really worried, get her pregnant when she comes back.
19:15Once a woman has a baby, she can't just leave.
19:18Then everything her family owns will eventually belong to the Pierces.
19:24And these two cars need to be transferred to us.
19:27No strings attached.
19:28Why should our family cars be registered in Ellie's name?
19:31That's ridiculous.
19:33Exactly.
19:35Okay.
19:36I'll talk to Ellie.
19:42Ow!
19:53What the hell are you doing?
19:54Do you even know how to drive?
19:56Do you have any idea how expensive my car is?
19:58You couldn't afford a scratch on it!
20:01Your car?
20:02Of course it's mine.
20:04Got a problem with that?
20:10Take a good look.
20:12Both cars belong to me now.
20:13Ah!
20:19Impossible!
20:20These cars belong to the Pierces.
20:22Those papers have to be fake.
20:27These cars were my daughter-in-law's dowry.
20:30That makes them Pierce family property!
20:32Your daughter-in-law's name is Ellie, right?
20:34How do you know that?
20:36Then there's no mistake.
20:37Mrs. Ashford sold me both cars.
20:39Yes.
20:45Julian, your wife sold the cars?
20:49I had no idea.
20:52Ellie never told me.
20:54That's right!
20:55My son and daughter have been driving these cars for a whole year!
20:58What gives her the right to sell them?
21:01Oh.
21:02Drive a car for a year and suddenly it's yours?
21:04So if I live in your house for a year, does that make it mine too?
21:07You!
21:08Don't twist my words.
21:10Ellie married into the Pierce family, so she belongs to the Pierce family.
21:13That means her things belong to us too.
21:16I'm her sister-in-law, and I have a say in this family.
21:19She can't sell anything without my permission, so your deal is invalid.
21:25Wow.
21:26So your family rules outright of the law now?
21:29Don't put words in my mouth.
21:30When a woman marries into a family, she becomes part of that family.
21:33That's how it's always been.
21:35With in-laws like you bleeding her dry?
21:37No wonder Mrs. Ashworth sold me the cars.
21:39I've wasted enough time on you people.
21:41So what's it going to be?
21:43Hand over the cars or not?
21:48You're not taking either car today.
21:51Who the hell are you pointing at?
21:53You want to lose that hand?
21:56What are you doing?
21:57You want to hit me?
21:59I'm warning you, I'm a department manager.
22:01If you lay a hand on me, I'll have you thrown in jail.
22:04That's right!
22:05We don't care how many of you there are!
22:07Touch us and we'll call the police!
22:10The police?
22:11Go ahead.
22:13My paperwork's all in order.
22:15Let's see whose side they're on.
22:18Chloe, he has a point.
22:20The police might not side with us.
22:22What are you talking about?
22:23These are Pierce family cars.
22:25We're not in the wrong!
22:27You calling or not?
22:29Because if you won't, I will.
22:31Hey, hey, hold on!
22:32There has to be some misunderstanding.
22:34Let me call my wife.
22:39I think she blocked me.
22:42Chloe, try calling her from your phone.
22:49She blocked me too.
22:55She blocked me too.
22:56She blocked me too!
22:59Leave it to me.
23:00Mr. Esco, what's wrong?
23:02Ellie, this guy says you sold him the cars.
23:04That's not true, right?
23:05You wouldn't do that!
23:06It's true.
23:08How dare you sell our family's cars!
23:10I order you to cancel the deal right now!
23:12They're my cars.
23:13I can sell them whenever I want.
23:15You don't get a say.
23:16Haven't we treated you well?
23:18Why would you do this to us?
23:19Treated me well?
23:20You mean when Chloe slapped me eight times at the dinner table while you and Julian did nothing?
23:23You're just ungrateful!
23:25My brother doesn't drink, smoke, or gamble.
23:28He's a decent man!
23:29Why can't you appreciate what you have?
23:31A decent man who lets his family abuse his wife?
23:35Ellie, quick question.
23:37Your husband's sister says she's some big shot at work, and she'll have me thrown in jail if I get
23:41tough.
23:42Is that true?
23:43She's just a department manager.
23:45Not much authority, but plenty of attitude.
23:47Do what you need to do.
23:48You're only taking back property you legally own.
23:50If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.
23:52Good.
23:53Then I won't hold back.
23:55Boys, move in.
23:58Wait!
23:58Wait!
24:00Wait.
24:01I'm warning you.
24:02We have laws in this country.
24:03Didn't you hear your wife?
24:04I'm only taking back what's mine.
24:06And if you won't listen to reason,
24:09I've got plenty of other ways to convince you.
24:13Let's settle this with words, not fists.
24:18Funny.
24:19Where was that attitude when your sister was slapping your wife around?
24:23I...
24:24I...
24:28Pathetic.
24:29I can't stand cowards like you.
24:32You have three seconds to hand over the keys.
24:36Two.
24:37Chloe!
24:39One.
24:40Fine.
24:41I'll give them to you.
24:44Give him the BMW keys, too.
24:46Chloe.
24:47Just give them to him!
24:51All right, boys.
24:52Let's take the cars.
24:56Back up!
24:57Keep moving!
25:01We're just letting them take the cars?
25:03What else can we do?
25:04Get beaten up and make an even bigger scene?
25:06If people at work hear about this,
25:08I'll be humiliated.
25:13Back up.
25:14Nobody move.
25:25Boys, let's go.
25:26Now we don't have any cars at all.
25:30If they want our car, they'll have to run me over first.
25:34Mom!
25:34Mom!
25:36You want to steal my car?
25:38Then run me over first!
25:43Mom, what are you doing?
25:44Get up!
25:45No!
25:46Don't touch me!
25:47This is all because you're useless enough to marry a woman like her.
25:51Now she thinks she can walk all over us!
25:53They've taken our cars!
25:55I won't stand for it!
25:56Somebody help!
25:57They're stealing my car!
25:59I don't want to live anymore!
26:00Move.
26:01It's my car.
26:02You'll have to drive over me.
26:04You sure?
26:05Fine.
26:06Stay right there.
26:07Mom!
26:07Get up!
26:08He's actually moving!
26:09He wouldn't dare.
26:10He's just trying to scare me.
26:11Stop!
26:12Stop the car!
26:13He isn't really going to keep driving, is he?
26:16Mom!
26:16Run!
26:18Hey!
26:29You psycho!
26:31You're insane!
26:35Mom, are you okay?
26:38You useless idiot!
26:40You have the nerve to ask!
26:41You can't even control your own wife, and now we've lost both cars!
26:47How is your sister supposed to get to work now?
26:51Do you want our whole family humiliated?
26:57Mom's right.
26:58I told you from the guard, Ellie was trouble, but you just had to marry her.
27:03Look how arrogant she is just because she has money.
27:06Look what she's done to this family!
27:12When I first brought Ellie home, you both said I'd found a great woman.
27:16You kept saying how pretty and sweet she was, and pushed us to get married.
27:21How was I supposed to know she'd turn out like this?
27:23If I'd known, I never would have let her marry into our family.
27:27Exactly.
27:28She only pretends to be sweet.
27:30Deep down, she's vicious.
27:32You knew her better than any of us.
27:35This is your fault for marrying such a horrible woman.
27:39You just want to take my carves?
27:41With in-laws like you bleeding her dry?
27:43No wonder Mrs. Ashworth sold me the carves.
27:47When you agreed to let me marry Ellie,
27:52did you actually care about my happiness?
27:55Or were you only after her money?
28:00What the hell are you saying?
28:01I said, did you only agree to this marriage because you wanted her money?
28:07You ungrateful bastard!
28:09What nonsense are you talking about?
28:10A wife is supposed to use what she brings into the marriage to support her husband's family.
28:14That's how it's always been!
28:15Family is supposed to support each other.
28:18Ellie sold those cars without even telling us.
28:20That proves she doesn't care about this family at all.
28:23Ellie wasn't like this before.
28:24So what, you think your sister and I are greedy monsters?
28:28Trying to steal your wife's money?
28:30I didn't mean that.
28:32Mom raised you, and now you're talking back to her because of that vicious woman?
28:36Julian, do you have any conscience at all?
28:40Mom, Chloe, I'm sorry.
28:42I won't say anything like that again.
28:44As for Ellie, I'll talk to her when we get back.
28:48As long as you know you were wrong.
28:55So what do we do now?
28:56There's nobody around, and we don't even have a signal.
29:02We'll have to walk back.
29:03Walk?
29:04What about all this luggage?
29:05Your brother can carry it.
29:06He's strong.
29:07Mom.
29:08You expect me and your sister to carry it?
29:12I'll do it.
29:18Mom, I can't walk anymore.
29:26Julian, we should have a signal here.
29:29Try calling a cab.
29:41Ellie!
29:46Stop!
29:47Ellie!
29:48Stop!
29:49Ellie!
29:50Stop the car!
29:51Ellie!
29:52Ellie!
29:53Ellie!
29:58Just my luck.
30:02She...
30:03She saw us.
30:04That bitch!
30:06She did that on purpose!
30:08We're suffering out here while she's cruising around in a Maybach!
30:10That car looks expensive.
30:13It must have cost a fortune.
30:15She must have bought it with the money from our Mercedes and BMW.
30:19Unbelievable!
30:20She sold our family cars just to buy herself a new one!
30:23What kind of daughter-in-law is that selfish?
30:26That new car should be marital property.
30:29Julian owns half of it.
30:30We have to take it back.
30:31Exactly!
30:32That car belongs to the Pierce family.
30:36Knowing them, they're probably already plotting to take my new car.
30:40Too bad they're in for a disappointment.
30:44Ma'am, your keys.
30:48Honey, I don't mean anything by this, but you're not officially divorced yet.
30:53Wouldn't buying a car now make it marital property?
30:55What if Julian tries to claim part of it later?
30:57Don't worry.
30:58I already checked with a lawyer.
31:00Those two cars were my separate property from before the marriage.
31:03Anything I buy with the money from selling them is still mine alone.
31:07Julian isn't getting so much as a tire.
31:11Pierce's, I'm only getting started.
31:22Did you forget?
31:24It's Mum's birthday.
31:25I came to take you to dinner.
31:26Dinner?
31:26Or an ambush?
31:28Of course not.
31:29We've all had time to think.
31:30The cars are gone, so we'll let it go.
31:32Let's have a nice dinner, talk things through, and put all this behind us.
31:38Fine.
31:39I'll go.
31:40Julian doesn't even realise his handshake whenever he's lying.
31:44Whatever they're planning, I'll make sure this dinner is one they'll never forget.
31:50It's Mum's birthday.
31:51Let's keep things peaceful today.
31:53Come on, Ellie.
31:53Sit here.
31:54No.
31:55I'm not here to eat.
31:58Still angry, Ellie.
32:00We were wrong before.
32:01The house has felt so empty without you.
32:04Chloe has to get up early and take the bus every day now.
32:07And Julian's already been late to work several times.
32:10I'm not blaming you.
32:12We're family.
32:13We shouldn't hold grudges.
32:15Family?
32:16Then when's my wedding anniversary?
32:19And when's my birthday?
32:23Last year, I gave you a gold bracelet for your birthday.
32:27I gave Chloe a designer watch for hers.
32:30You've treated me like an ATM this whole time, and you call that family?
32:35Chloe?
32:36Enough, Ellie!
32:37We haven't even held you accountable for selling the cars behind our backs, and now you're attacking us?
32:42By our family rules, you should be on your knees for three days!
32:48But since it's mum's birthday, we'll let it go.
32:53Transfer the mayhand to me.
32:54No strings attached, and we'll call it even.
33:01Chloe's right.
33:02Just do what she says.
33:04Ellie, go with her first thing tomorrow and transfer the car.
33:07Don't make her late for work.
33:10Ellie, I'm not asking you to be as devoted to me as Julian is.
33:13But it's my birthday. It's only a car.
33:17Don't ruin the whole family over something material.
33:26I was stupid enough to trust you before.
33:28Not anymore. You're not getting another cent from me.
33:31I want a divorce.
33:33No! I won't agree to it!
33:35Fine. Then I'll file for divorce.
33:38You can wait for the court papers.
33:40Ellie, do you really have to take it this far?
33:43What have I ever done to you?
33:45Are you seriously asking me that?
33:48This is all over those cars and your money, isn't it?
33:51When did you become so materialistic?
33:54I'm materialistic?
33:56You're not the one who was humiliated and beaten.
33:59All you ever did was tell me to put up with it.
34:01To give in.
34:03You have no idea what I've been through.
34:06Then get used to it!
34:07Julian, you may be a coward, but I'm not!
34:12And the pathetic part is you keep using my things to buy your family's approval.
34:17Without me, do you really think they'd treat you this well?
34:20That's bullshit!
34:21Is it?
34:22Then why didn't they buy you a car?
34:25Why does your whole family live in the home meant for us?
34:30Your family didn't contribute a cent when we got married.
34:34You think you're taking care of them, but they're using you and you're too blind to see it.
34:40Don't you dare insult my family!
34:47Julian, you hit me.
34:49You want a divorce? Fine. Leave the car and walk away with nothing.
34:53Chloe...
34:54Let me make this clear.
34:55That million dollar Maybach and my house both belong to the Pierce family.
34:59The house is in my name.
35:01That million dollars is in my personal account.
35:03What exactly makes you think any of it is yours?
35:05Either way, you're not walking away with a cent.
35:10Julian, what are you hiding from me?
35:12Nothing. I'm not hiding anything.
35:13I have the titles to the cars and the house.
35:16Wait. Julian knows my bank password.
35:21You transferred all the money out of my account?
35:24Chloe wanted to invest in stocks.
35:27She needed the money.
35:28When did you do this?
35:30Why didn't I know?
35:32Because I knew you'd say no!
35:33Three months ago, I transferred it all while you were asleep.
35:36Unbelievable.
35:38You stole my money to fund your sister's stock trading.
35:42Stole?
35:42Your money belongs to my brother and what's his is mine.
35:45What's wrong with me spending my own money?
35:46Give me every cent back, or I'm calling the police.
35:51Can't.
35:51It's already gone.
35:53You lost a million dollars in three months?
35:56I want every cent of my money back.
35:59Ellie, stop making a scene.
36:02Just apologise to Mum and Chloe, and we can go back to how things were.
36:07That's enough.
36:08I've recorded every word you just said.
36:13Every word of it will be used as evidence in court.
36:16Julian!
36:16Grab her phone!
36:18It's already backing up to the cloud.
36:21Smash my phone if you want.
36:23The recording isn't going anywhere.
36:26Ellie!
36:27You vicious bitch!
36:29I'll take that as a compliment.
36:31You have three days to get out of my house.
36:33I sold the cars and I can sell the house too.
36:38Look at the woman you married!
36:46Look at the woman you married!
36:51Sorry.
36:52I'm so sorry I'm late.
36:53Let's continue.
36:58Alright.
36:59Meeting adjourned.
37:03Julian, stay.
37:08Sir, you've been late four times this month, without a valid reason.
37:13And now you're late to this meeting too.
37:16I'm sorry, I...
37:18I'm not finished.
37:20You've made errors in three reports this month, and we've received two client complaints.
37:24You're fired.
37:25Sir, wait!
37:27Prenuptial property agreement, vehicle titles.
37:30Your documentation is very thorough.
37:35Listen to this too.
37:36I recorded the whole conversation.
37:38My dad had a media friend post it online, and it's already past a hundred million views.
37:42They're public enemy number one now.
37:44How soon can we go to court?
37:46We can file in three days, and the hearing can begin about a week after that.
37:49Legally, your case is airtight.
37:52Unless...
37:53Unless they get desperate and try something before the hearing?
37:56Yeah.
37:59Suspended?
38:00Over one recording and a video from a restaurant?
38:03Do you have any idea how much damage that video has caused?
38:07Corporate gave us direct orders to take serious action in answer to the public!
38:11I've worked here for years.
38:12You can't do this to me!
38:14Get out.
38:15Pack your things and leave.
38:19What do we do now?
38:21We've already been served, and the hearing is in a few days!
38:25That bitch Ellie is trying to destroy us!
38:29Then we make her look like the one at fault.
38:32Chloe, what do you mean?
38:33In a contested divorce, fault matters.
38:37If we can make her look like the guilty party...
38:40The court and the public will side with us.
38:44She hasn't really done anything wrong.
38:47Then we'll give her something to be guilty of.
38:51We still have a few days before court.
38:53We'll make it look like she's cheating.
38:56All we need is a man, and a few pictures.
38:59No!
39:00That's illegal!
39:01You can't do that to Ellie!
39:03Absolutely not!
39:05That vicious woman got both you and your sister fired!
39:08She's the reason we're living like this!
39:10And you're still defending her!
39:12You feel sorry for her, but who's going to feel sorry for us?
39:16This is all your fault for marrying a woman like her!
39:23So, what are you planning?
39:35I'm not here to fight.
39:37I left my gold ring here when we moved out.
39:39I'll leave as soon as I find it.
39:41Fine.
39:42Find it and go.
39:47I have things to do.
39:48Find it yourself, and don't touch anything else.
40:05This stuff is strong enough to knock Ellie out for half the day.
40:12I knew she was up to something.
40:18Find it?
40:20Yeah, it was between the couch cushions.
40:23Then you can leave.
40:24Don't be so cold.
40:26Come on, one last drink.
40:27We used to be family after all.
40:30After the hearing, we may never see each other again.
40:35Sorry, I got it on your dress.
40:37I'll buy you a new one.
40:38It's fine.
40:39I'll wash it when I get home.
40:40I'll wash it when I get home.
40:42Just drink.
40:45That's strange.
40:46Why am I so dizzy?
40:49It's done.
40:51Come over.
40:52Enjoy my little gift, Ellie.
40:59Meet me at our usual place.
41:03Hey, so this is Ellie.
41:06Not bad.
41:09So they actually tried to ruin you with a setup like this?
41:14She's still a woman, and I won't destroy her.
41:17This way.
41:18I won't expose what happened.
41:21Unless she forces my hand in court.
41:25Did I drink or something?
41:27Why is my head spinning?
41:33Where's Ellie?
41:34Did the plan fail?
41:36Just wait till you see the surprise I've got for you, Ellie.
41:41Therefore, the plaintiff asks the court to award the defendant no share of her separate property
41:47and order the return of all premarital assets taken from her.
41:50Her evidence is overwhelming.
41:52This case is basically over.
41:54I saw that video online.
41:56That man and his family are disgusting.
41:57Just rule already, Mr. Pierce.
41:59To be frank, that their evidence is extremely strong.
42:03We have almost no chance here.
42:05You need to be prepared to walk away with very little.
42:08Ellie wants me to walk away with nothing?
42:10No.
42:11Chloe's unemployed now, too.
42:13I have to support this family.
42:14I can't lose everything.
42:16I can't let Mom and Chloe down.
42:19Your Honor!
42:22I have evidence that my wife cheated on me during our marriage.
42:26Submit the evidence.
42:29I'm the witness.
42:32These photos are the proof.
42:34Ellie committed adultery.
42:35I ask the court to reject all her claims.
42:38She should leave this marriage with nothing and compensate me and my family for the emotional
42:42and reputational damage she caused.
42:44Ellie, this is what you get for going against us.
42:53Are you trying to make a mockery of this court?
42:57The woman in these photos isn't the plaintiff.
42:59Look for yourself!
43:05So, that's you in every single photo.
43:15That's impossible!
43:17Oh my God, what the hell happened here?
43:20You bitch!
43:20Remove her from the courtroom!
43:22You did this!
43:23I'll kill you!
43:24You're going to beg so fucking...
43:27I'll kill you!
43:29You'll pay for this!
43:33Court is adjourned.
43:34She won.
43:35They got exactly what they deserved.
43:38It's over.
43:40Everything's over.
43:43Congratulations, Mrs. Ashford.
43:44You're free.
43:53Well, I'm going to be late.
43:54I need to go pick up my passenger.
43:57Mom, you really don't have to buy me another house.
43:59Of course I do.
44:00You're about to start as vice president at headquarters,
44:03and it's an hour's drive from home.
44:04We'll get you a place closer to work.
44:06Then let's get a smaller one.
44:07All right, whatever you want.
44:14Seriously?
44:15Why now?
44:25Ellie, how have you been?
44:28Fine.
44:33I heard you're a vice president at headquarters now.
44:35That's great.
44:36I'm doing fine, too.
44:38Driving a cab these days keeps me active, at least.
44:40Mom, let's go eat.
44:41I already made a reservation.
44:44All right, let's go.
44:56Where are you?
44:56I ordered a cab ages ago.
44:58Yes, yes, I'm on my way.
44:59I'll be right there.
45:03Hey!
