00:00:00I've seduced many sailors in my day.
00:00:04One had strong swimmers.
00:00:06But I'm immortal.
00:00:07If I marry your daughter, she'll age. I won't.
00:00:10It could never last.
00:00:12Five years.
00:00:15Look after her for five years.
00:00:17Help her find success.
00:00:19On your fifth anniversary, the spell will break.
00:00:22You can surf again.
00:00:24And if you love her, reveal your true identity.
00:00:31Okay.
00:00:32Hey, so this might be weird, but your daughter doesn't look like you, does she?
00:00:39You tell me.
00:01:06I can't believe she's marrying some sponge or simp.
00:01:11I give it six months.
00:01:22We look so cute.
00:01:24I do wish you had listened to me and not worn that shirt, though.
00:01:29Someone just commented, Sponger in a stupid shirt.
00:01:33I thought you didn't care that I don't surf.
00:01:35I don't.
00:01:36I don't.
00:01:38Spoiler alert.
00:01:39She did care.
00:01:41And that wasn't her only complaint about me.
00:01:43But I made a vow to stay with her for five years.
00:01:46And I was determined to keep that vow, no matter how hard it was.
00:01:49And it was very hard.
00:01:51Kai became one of the top female surfers on Earth, and I've been her loyal supporter.
00:01:58In three days, I get my koa board back and I can surf again.
00:02:02But until then, my mission is to give Kai everything she wants.
00:02:07She loves coconut water.
00:02:09Today, it'll be the freshest in the world.
00:02:11Morning, sunshine.
00:02:12Don't sunshine me.
00:02:14You tracked sand all over the kitchen.
00:02:16That beach life, though, right?
00:02:18What were you even doing out there so early?
00:02:20Getting stoned?
00:02:22Something like that.
00:02:23Unbelievable.
00:02:24I need you on point today.
00:02:26I heard Angela Lee, the CEO of Quick Mapple, might arrive early for the expo.
00:02:30Don't worry, babe.
00:02:32I got you.
00:02:33Well, this is not the brand I like.
00:02:35It's not any brand.
00:02:36It's fresh.
00:02:38How hard is it to get the right brand?
00:02:41Did you forget because you were high?
00:02:43I'll get the kind you like next time.
00:02:46We were happy once, but the honeymoon is over.
00:02:59Oh my god, that's her.
00:03:01Angela Lee, the single most important person in the world of surfing.
00:03:06No, that's the most important person in the world of surfing.
00:03:09That old guy?
00:03:10Angela's father, Mickey Lee, he's the real power.
00:03:12Started Quick Mapple as a surf shack in Malibu, and grew it into the most important surf brand on earth.
00:03:19Oh no.
00:03:22Oh.
00:03:22I gotta go.
00:03:25No.
00:03:27Dad, no!
00:03:29Dad, no!
00:03:40He's here!
00:03:44Pretty gnarly moves before the shark interrupted.
00:03:47Not as good as I used to be, but I can still catch a wave.
00:03:51Thank you for saving my life.
00:04:02You're the god of the island.
00:04:04Please, no one can know my identity.
00:04:07Whatever you say, but how can I ever repay you?
00:04:10Actually, there is a solid you could do me in return.
00:04:14Anything.
00:04:14My wife, Kaikua, is one of the best surfers in the world, and her sponsor just went bankrupt.
00:04:20Angela!
00:04:26Your leg!
00:04:27It's completely healed!
00:04:30Did you do this?
00:04:31I wish I had healing powers.
00:04:34I told you I went after him, but the god of the island rescued your dad.
00:04:38He must have put a healing spell on his leg or something.
00:04:41Well, thank you for helping.
00:04:43He needs our help, too.
00:04:45His wife, Kaikua, needs a sponsor.
00:04:47Wife?
00:04:48Don't worry, she's one hell of a surfer.
00:04:53Hey, Kai.
00:04:55Remember Chad from high school?
00:04:57How could she forget?
00:04:58If he hadn't dumped her to move to L.A. and become an Olympic gold medal surfer,
00:05:02she wouldn't have settled for that burnout sponger duke.
00:05:06Chad was my past.
00:05:07Yeah, the one that got away.
00:05:09He was so hot.
00:05:11And strong.
00:05:13God, I bet he could pick you up and flip you around.
00:05:17You guys!
00:05:18If Chad came back today and asked you to take him back, what would you say?
00:05:24Well, I am married, and I haven't seen Chad since high school.
00:05:28Hey, ladies.
00:05:29Kai, we should get going.
00:05:31I'm not ready to go yet.
00:05:32Did you forget?
00:05:33We have dinner reservations for our anniversary.
00:05:36The expo is the same day as our anniversary, so I made the reservation for today.
00:05:41I can't.
00:05:42Angela still hasn't seen me surf.
00:05:45Don't worry about that.
00:05:47You're going to get the quick maple sponsorship.
00:05:49What would you know about it?
00:05:50No way, bro.
00:05:52Is it really him?
00:05:53I'd like to see what's under those board shorts.
00:05:57Chad?
00:05:58Hey, boo.
00:05:59I'm in town for the expo.
00:06:00We knew who'd be here.
00:06:02But we didn't want to spoil the surprise.
00:06:06Chad, can you sign my board?
00:06:08Are you going to win gold at home in 2028, Chad?
00:06:11Duh.
00:06:11Of course I am.
00:06:12He's even hotter in person.
00:06:14How could you let a guy like that get away?
00:06:15So are we going to catch some waves or what, boo?
00:06:17I really think Angela should see me surf.
00:06:20And Chad is already sponsored by them, so it would help to see us together.
00:06:23For branding.
00:06:24You don't mind, right?
00:06:26No worries.
00:06:27We'll celebrate our anniversary later.
00:06:34So which one is your wife?
00:06:35The one on the board with Chad?
00:06:37Interesting.
00:06:38She's good.
00:06:39Really good.
00:06:40She's the best.
00:06:41You know, quick maple sponsors, man.
00:06:43Yeah?
00:06:43I can help you get a sponsorship, too.
00:06:45Thank you, Chad.
00:06:46But I can handle it.
00:06:48I'm a big girl.
00:06:49I know exactly what kind of girl you are.
00:06:51I know every single part of you and would love to get reacquainted.
00:06:55I just want to help, since your husband obviously can't.
00:06:58Oh, hey, dude.
00:06:59You must be Duke, the sponger who waxes Kai's board.
00:07:04I'm Kai's husband.
00:07:06Want to go grab Kai's board for us?
00:07:12Five years.
00:07:13For five years, I protected and loved you.
00:07:16But now I'm starting to see you never really loved me back.
00:07:21I caught your favorite fish myself.
00:07:24And you've been out all day with Chad.
00:07:27You're cold.
00:07:27I can feel the goosebumps on your skin.
00:07:29Hey, don't sweat quick, maple.
00:07:31I'm tight with Angela.
00:07:32I got your back like a bikini string.
00:07:34Thanks so much, Chad.
00:07:35It's the least I can do.
00:07:37You know, I never forgot you.
00:07:38I'm married.
00:07:40You're not going to be this hot forever, Kai.
00:07:42Don't you want a real man who knows what to do with a girl like you?
00:07:45Duke's actually really sweet.
00:07:47Sweet?
00:07:48Yeah.
00:07:48He's a total simp.
00:07:50Dump him.
00:07:51Or don't.
00:07:53I don't mind being Mr. Steel, your girl.
00:07:55There's an extra board here.
00:07:57It's a gift for you.
00:08:00A fish.
00:08:02This bad boy will unlock all the speed in that tight little bod.
00:08:05Duke designed my board himself.
00:08:07You think that sponger knows more about surfboards than me?
00:08:11Plus, this is a quick maple board.
00:08:13That's what Angela wants to see you on.
00:08:16Good point.
00:08:19See you on the beach, boo.
00:08:21Catch any big ones?
00:08:22It was okay.
00:08:23Lots of close outs today.
00:08:25I made dinner for our anniversary.
00:08:27Our patio's got a better view than any restaurant anyway.
00:08:29Sorry.
00:08:30I ate already.
00:08:32New board?
00:08:32Angela should see me on a quick maple board.
00:08:35Quick maple should build a board for you.
00:08:36Like I did.
00:08:38This fish can't make the drop on a barrel.
00:08:40It'll pearl the second you go vertical.
00:08:41Babe, no offense, but Chad knows surfing.
00:08:44He won gold.
00:08:44You don't even surf.
00:08:46I know the island's waves.
00:08:48I'll think about it.
00:08:49So you're not hungry, but you've been surfing all day.
00:08:51Are you sore?
00:08:52Do you want a massage?
00:08:54I am sore.
00:08:55I'm going to go in the hot tub.
00:08:56Want some company?
00:08:57No, thanks.
00:08:59I'm not in the mood.
00:08:59Too sore.
00:09:02She said she wasn't in the mood, but she really meant she wasn't in the mood for me.
00:09:07You forgot your towel.
00:09:08Didn't want you to get cold walking back to the house.
00:09:11Aren't you going to say anything?
00:09:13What do you want me to say?
00:09:14Do you even care?
00:09:16Or are you too stoned and lazy to even give a shit?
00:09:18I care.
00:09:20If you paid attention, you'd know how much.
00:09:22Why did you never learn to surf?
00:09:28I was the best surfer in the world, but your mom cursed me.
00:09:34What does that have to do with anything?
00:09:36Because it's weird.
00:09:38You're like obsessed with surfers.
00:09:41You make custom surfboards.
00:09:43You wear that stupid surfboard necklace, but you can't even surf.
00:09:49That's probably why you want to stay in this dead marriage.
00:09:52So you can leech off me.
00:09:55That's why you didn't even react to me screwing that jet and calling it another man's name.
00:09:59Because you don't actually care about anything except using me to get closer to the glory you'll never have.
00:10:07You want me out of your life?
00:10:11Give it a few more days.
00:10:13Nah, bro.
00:10:13You're caking it on.
00:10:15You're going to glue her feet to the board.
00:10:16That's right for cold water like Malibu.
00:10:19On a warm break like ours, soft thin wax will be greased by noon.
00:10:22This sponger's lecturing a gold metal surfer on wax?
00:10:25Not on wax.
00:10:26On the water I live on.
00:10:28I hoped I'd find you here.
00:10:30She looked pretty good with you yesterday, Chad.
00:10:32Let's see how she looks on her own.
00:10:34Angela!
00:10:34That bikini!
00:10:35Still being worn by your boss.
00:10:40There she goes.
00:10:42I told her that fish can't make the drop on a barrel.
00:10:45It's purling.
00:10:54See what your garbage waxing did, sponger?
00:10:57It wasn't the wax.
00:10:58It was your board.
00:11:01So it's my fault?
00:11:02I was trying to unlock her power.
00:11:04You've been holding her back.
00:11:06Up.
00:11:08What?
00:11:09I think what you meant to say was,
00:11:11you've been holding her up.
00:11:14You're a pro surfer.
00:11:15Props on that.
00:11:16But I know my island.
00:11:17I know my break.
00:11:20And I know how to kick your ass.
00:11:23You think so?
00:11:24Let's go then.
00:11:34Chad's a professional athlete.
00:11:35You're a professional stoner.
00:11:36You don't want to fight him.
00:11:41Is that the kind of guy you are?
00:11:42Need to be rescued by your girl?
00:11:45I don't know what happened out there.
00:11:47I swear I'll do better in the expo tomorrow.
00:11:48Don't sweat it.
00:11:49The sponsorship's yours.
00:11:51You looked amazing.
00:11:52But I just had an epic wipeout.
00:11:53It's not just about your surfing.
00:11:55You're hot.
00:11:56And you've got a great man behind you.
00:12:01Looking forward to having you both represent Quick Mapple at the expo tomorrow.
00:12:04Fix the wax on my new board.
00:12:07She thinks Chad is the great man behind her.
00:12:10One more day, and she can have him.
00:12:15I can't believe.
00:12:17She gave me the sponsorship, right?
00:12:19After I wiped out.
00:12:21And it's all thanks to you.
00:12:24I'd do anything for you.
00:12:26Why don't you come up to my room and rinse off in the shower?
00:12:29You can borrow a t-shirt, too, if you want.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:33I am really sticky, actually.
00:12:37What are you doing?
00:12:41Stop denying yourself.
00:12:43We both know you want this.
00:12:46Put your clothes on, Chad.
00:12:48You first.
00:12:52Ride this.
00:12:57How are you so strong?
00:13:00Does it make you feel strong?
00:13:03Taking another man's sloppy seconds?
00:13:05That's beta behavior.
00:13:08I thought you were a chad.
00:13:09What are you doing to him?
00:13:12Enough!
00:13:14What is wrong with you?
00:13:16Me?
00:13:17He was assaulting my wife.
00:13:19This is a misunderstanding.
00:13:20Really?
00:13:21You were crying for help.
00:13:22He spilled a drink on me.
00:13:24I was just cleaning up.
00:13:25And how did he end up naked?
00:13:27He was just changing.
00:13:28Timing, bro.
00:13:29It's everything.
00:13:30In surfing and in love.
00:13:31Can you please just take me home?
00:13:33You can stay here if you want, boo.
00:13:35We all need to just chill out before the expo tomorrow.
00:13:37I shouldn't have slapped you.
00:13:38You were being crazy, though.
00:13:40I thought you were going to kill him.
00:13:43Do you have anything to say?
00:13:45Why were you in his hotel room?
00:13:49I told you.
00:13:50He spilled a drink.
00:13:50I should have been there.
00:13:53But instead, you made me...
00:13:54If you wanted to come, you should have come!
00:13:56You are always doing this.
00:13:58You act like a total simp and then bitch and complain when I don't tell you what to do.
00:14:01Act like a man for once!
00:14:03You used to like that I was kind and giving.
00:14:06No.
00:14:07I like the way you fucked me that first time.
00:14:09I was totally digmatized and I made the biggest mistake of my life.
00:14:13That's really how you feel about our marriage?
00:14:15You're a sweet guy, Duke.
00:14:17But I need a strong man behind me.
00:14:19Not a slacker.
00:14:22If you cared to look closer, you'd see that the truth is, you'd never be this successful without me.
00:14:28Get real, Duke.
00:14:30I could make my own meals and wax my own board.
00:14:33I only let you do it because you're so pathetic.
00:14:37I feel bad for you.
00:14:38You think I'm just a glorified servant?
00:14:40Like you said, a leech.
00:14:43I need a real man.
00:14:45Not some stoner, beta, board waxing sponger.
00:14:49All the things you do for me just make you seem weak.
00:14:52How am I supposed to be attracted to you?
00:14:59Then let's get a divorce.
00:15:03You want to divorce me?
00:15:05If you're not attracted to me anymore, then what's left here?
00:15:08What's left is me.
00:15:09I do everything.
00:15:11I built my career as a surfer from scratch.
00:15:13Is that really what you think?
00:15:14Yes!
00:15:15You don't even surf!
00:15:16I made custom boards for you.
00:15:18Which I wrote out of obligation, even though they probably only held me back.
00:15:24Every photo shoot.
00:15:25Holding me down is more like it.
00:15:26I was dragging your dead weight around.
00:15:28As a matter of fact, I should be asking you for a divorce.
00:15:31Okay.
00:15:32That's all you have to say?
00:15:34It's been five years since the sea hag cursed me.
00:15:37Five years since I've been able to surf.
00:15:39And I can leave Kai if I choose.
00:15:41When we got married, I wanted to give her everything.
00:15:44We love you, Kai!
00:15:45She's using the board I made her.
00:15:47Maybe she finally sees that I've always been there for her.
00:15:50Let's give another round of applause.
00:15:52Beautiful surfing.
00:15:53But you know what I like more than beauty?
00:15:55The impossible.
00:15:56Over a hundred feet.
00:15:57No one except the mighty and mysterious god of the island has ever ridden it.
00:16:02And the god of the island hasn't been seen on a surfboard in five years.
00:16:06No mortal has ridden those waves and lived.
00:16:08Expo participants only.
00:16:10He's my husband.
00:16:11It's fine.
00:16:11I don't need to go on the beach.
00:16:12Oh my god!
00:16:13You cannot be serious!
00:16:14How dare you!
00:16:15Are you seriously that pathetic and jealous that you're trying to ruin her shot at the
00:16:20biggest moment of her career?
00:16:22What are you even doing here anyway?
00:16:23Yeah, security, can we get this stoner out of here, please?
00:16:26I'm just doing what I've always done.
00:16:28Protecting you.
00:16:29I know you're bored.
00:16:30I know you're surfing better than anyone.
00:16:32You can't handle those waves.
00:16:40I knew she could do it!
00:16:46She really is incredible.
00:16:49Thank girl.
00:16:50Thank girl.
00:17:01Where is she?
00:17:14No way, bro.
00:17:17It's him.
00:17:18Let's go out of the island!
00:17:20Let's go out of the island!
00:17:25That's right.
00:17:26The god of the island.
00:17:34Man, I miss surfing!
00:17:42No!
00:17:43No!
00:17:44No!
00:17:51It's okay.
00:17:53The god of the island's protecting you.
00:17:55Just ride the wave.
00:18:09I think a crab got me!
00:18:11Kai, help me!
00:18:18Duke, you're tough.
00:18:20Chad's a professional surfer.
00:18:21A foot injury would ruin his whole life.
00:18:26What is wrong with you?
00:18:28Can't you see your husband is seriously hurt?
00:18:31Angela, I thought, since Chad is one of your sponsored athletes, his injury would be the
00:18:36priority.
00:18:36And I thought, since Duke is your husband, you would at least show an ounce of compassion
00:18:40for him?
00:18:40You don't understand.
00:18:42You don't understand.
00:18:42Duke has always been tough.
00:18:43He's a sponger.
00:18:44You don't need your feet to lay down on a boogie board.
00:18:47You clearly don't understand who you're dealing with here.
00:18:50You are both an embarrassment to the quick maple brand.
00:18:53This is not the kind of example I want my athletes to set.
00:19:00It really hurts!
00:19:02Go with him.
00:19:23I'll help him protect everything he has.
00:19:25Thomas, and together we'll gain even more.
00:19:27I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:41Richard, Clara, Julian.
00:19:43From now on, Thomas is your father.
00:19:48I'll love all of you like my own.
00:19:50Then can I come to your sawmill?
00:19:52They say you've got several.
00:19:53When I grow up, will I run all of them?
00:19:55Of course.
00:19:56As long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you the business.
00:19:58I want the prettiest carriage, a new dress every season, and the whole town at my ball.
00:20:03Of course.
00:20:05I'll give you all the very best.
00:20:08So the timberland, the estate, all the money, that's all going to be mine one day too?
00:20:19They grew up without a father.
00:20:21Now they suddenly have a papa who loves them.
00:20:23They got a little carried away.
00:20:26Yes, mother.
00:20:27We're just so happy.
00:20:30Thomas, thank you for giving the children a real home.
00:20:33From now on, my children are yours too, and they'll be good to you, I know it.
00:20:37And thank you for giving me the finest children and the finest wife in the world.
00:20:49Hey, kid, it's getting dark.
00:20:51What are you doing out here?
00:20:53Leave me alone.
00:20:54I've still got a deal to finish up.
00:20:56A deal?
00:21:02Thomas, my business partner.
00:21:06Wherever you are, I'll find you.
00:21:19You've stalled us three months already.
00:21:22Pay us today.
00:21:23I can't even buy flour for my family.
00:21:29Stay calm, everyone.
00:21:30Mr. Bennett's going through the books.
00:21:32He'll make this right.
00:21:34Pay us.
00:21:35Pay us.
00:21:36Pay us.
00:21:37Pay us.
00:21:39Sir, I just got word from the doctor.
00:21:40Your mother's been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
00:21:43She needs treatment right away.
00:21:45It'll cost at least $400,000.
00:21:47What?
00:21:57Send the treatment money first.
00:21:59There's only a few thousand dollars left in the company accounts.
00:22:03Impossible.
00:22:04There were $8 million last month.
00:22:05And it's not just the cash.
00:22:07The lumber receipts we kept at Victor's Dock Warehouse are gone too.
00:22:09Without them, we can't even claim that timber.
00:22:14Who has access to that money?
00:22:16Besides you and your wife, only Richard, Clara, and Julian.
00:22:23They're my family.
00:22:24They'll help me get to the truth.
00:22:38Richard, you kids are all in town?
00:22:41Good timing.
00:22:42There's serious trouble at the company.
00:22:45Sign the sawmill and the timberland over to us.
00:22:49And the trouble outside takes care of itself.
00:22:52What?
00:22:53You're old and you're soft.
00:22:55A worker cries poor, you give him a raises.
00:22:58A dealer stiffs you, you give him more time.
00:23:00You will ruin Bennett timber.
00:23:02You're at that mill all day.
00:23:04You always stink of sawdust and machine oil.
00:23:07Everyone at the club laughs at us for having a crude country yunker for a father.
00:23:13Clara.
00:23:14Father.
00:23:15You're leaving us the company sooner or later anyway.
00:23:18Step aside now.
00:23:18Have a nice quiet retirement.
00:23:20Why work yourself to the bone?
00:23:23So you took all the company's money and receipts?
00:23:27You're right.
00:23:27I gave you the best house.
00:23:30Sent you to the best schools.
00:23:32I loved you like my own.
00:23:34Your mother's in the city on business.
00:23:37If she knew you were treating me like this, it would break her heart.
00:23:47Break her heart?
00:23:51Over you?
00:23:54Think it over.
00:23:55Those workers outside are losing their patience.
00:24:11My God.
00:24:13They're going to wreck the saw table.
00:24:16Quick morning.
00:24:18Miss yourself.
00:24:19Go set trick down.
00:24:29God almighty.
00:24:30What are you doing?
00:24:31That table goes.
00:24:33The whole mill is finished.
00:24:34No pay.
00:24:35No mill.
00:24:35We'll tear it down.
00:24:36My family's had no bread for two days.
00:24:39No one cares if we live or die.
00:24:47Stop.
00:24:48Stop.
00:24:49Yeah, stop.
00:24:53Well, look who's here.
00:24:56Great philanthropist Thomas Bennett.
00:24:57Tired of your fancy cigars?
00:25:00Stop.
00:25:02That saw is our only chance to save the mill.
00:25:06To hell with your mill.
00:25:08My family's got nothing to eat.
00:25:10What about us?
00:25:12You black-hearted crook.
00:25:14If you love that table so much, climb up and go down with it.
00:25:17Come on, James.
00:25:18Wish morning.
00:25:19Wish.
00:25:19This is up.
00:25:20Hold that trick down.
00:25:33Mr. Bennett, my God.
00:25:35Get off of them.
00:25:38Pull the main switch now.
00:25:49You almost died.
00:25:51I'd give my life to save this mill.
00:25:54Hundreds of families depend on it.
00:25:57We don't want to do this, Mr. Bennett, but it's been three months.
00:26:00My landlord's at my door every day, asking for rent money.
00:26:04Since my husband died in the woods, my paycheck's the only thing keeping my kids alive.
00:26:11Now my little girl's sick, and I can't even afford a doctor.
00:26:16I haven't been able to afford a single sack of coal for three months.
00:26:21My mother has to sleep under all her old rags for warmth.
00:26:26You live in a big house and own a fancy carriage.
00:26:29Of course you'd have no idea how we're scraping by.
00:26:32We just want our wages!
00:26:34Yes!
00:26:35Give us our money!
00:26:37Yes!
00:26:41You're right.
00:26:42You did the work, but you didn't get paid.
00:26:45It's my fault, no matter what.
00:26:48I know how much these paychecks matter.
00:26:51They put bread on your table, pay for your children's doctors,
00:26:54and buy the firewood that gets your parents through winter.
00:26:57They're how your families survive.
00:26:59Then why haven't you paid us?
00:27:05The company's funds were transferred.
00:27:08All the lumber receipts are gone.
00:27:10There isn't a cent left in the accounts.
00:27:12Bennett Timber owes you all,
00:27:14and I won't run from this debt.
00:27:17I won't let you work for nothing.
00:27:20I'll sell my house, my carriage, and all my valuables,
00:27:24even my family's timberland,
00:27:26and I will put every last cent in your hands.
00:27:30We're supposed to believe that?
00:27:31I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:27:34Please, just give me one more day.
00:27:43Mr. Bennett!
00:27:45I failed you.
00:27:47So now, I'm begging you.
00:27:49One day, by the end of tomorrow, I'll make this right.
00:27:57We won our wages!
00:27:58Your apologies won't put bread on our tables!
00:28:01I'm already two months behind on rent.
00:28:03I can't wait another day!
00:28:04Pay us now! Pay us now!
00:28:12Henry, you've been at this mill for 15 years.
00:28:14When the blade took your hand two winters ago,
00:28:16I made you a promise.
00:28:17As long as Bennett Timber stands,
00:28:19your family will never go hungry.
00:28:22Mary, you lost your husband to an accident in the woods.
00:28:26Since then, you've raised three children on your own
00:28:28and never missed a single day of work.
00:28:30Last winter, when I heard your youngest had no shoes,
00:28:33I bought two pairs for each of your children.
00:28:37And George, Peter, Andrew,
00:28:41I remember every last thing you gave to this mill.
00:28:44You never failed this company.
00:28:46It is I, Thomas Bennett, who's failed you.
00:28:49I'm not asking for forgiveness.
00:28:51Just one day, that's all.
00:28:54I'll sell my house, my carriage, all my valuables,
00:28:57and I'll pay your wages first thing.
00:28:59I've worked for Mr. Bennett for 15 years.
00:29:02He's never shorted me a single demi.
00:29:06After my husband's accident,
00:29:08he kept paying his wages for six months.
00:29:11And during last year's blizzard,
00:29:12he gave us firewood to keep our family warm.
00:29:15But what if we give him another day and he runs?
00:29:18I'll trust him one more time.
00:29:20So will I.
00:29:24Everyone, go home for now.
00:29:26We'll meet back here this time tomorrow
00:29:28and hear Mr. Bennett out.
00:29:32All of you.
00:29:41You're really selling the house and the carriage?
00:29:44Where will you and Mrs. Bennett live?
00:29:46If the workers don't get paid today,
00:29:48their children could go hungry tonight.
00:29:50I have to save them first.
00:29:59Get this to my wife in the city right away.
00:30:01Tell her to sell the house,
00:30:03the carriage,
00:30:03and every piece of jewelry and art we own.
00:30:06All of it?
00:30:07All of it.
00:30:08I've explained everything in the letter.
00:30:15President Walker,
00:30:16this is the man you've been looking for.
00:30:27Thomas Bennett.
00:30:28That's him.
00:30:29Fifteen years,
00:30:30and I've finally found you,
00:30:32my long-lost partner.
00:30:34Bring the car around.
00:30:36Tell our lawyers, bank rep, and guards.
00:30:38We'll leave for Bennett Timber in ten minutes.
00:30:40But you're meeting with the chairman
00:30:42of the State Railroad Commission at three.
00:30:44He can reschedule.
00:30:53I'll see you soon, my business partner.
00:30:59All eight million from Bennett Timber's accounts
00:31:01has been transferred,
00:31:02and the lumber receipts are in our names now.
00:31:05Thomas won't be able to pull anything out.
00:31:07Didn't think he'd hand you
00:31:08the company's most important accounts so fast.
00:31:11In a matter of days,
00:31:11you've taken his life's work.
00:31:13What a fool.
00:31:14All it took was calling him dad,
00:31:16and suddenly he'd do anything for me.
00:31:18He still thinks mother's gonna bail him out.
00:31:21He's probably sitting in that
00:31:22shabby little office right now,
00:31:24waiting for the whole family to come save him.
00:31:29He always said trusting family is the foundation of good business.
00:31:32Turns out his trust was worth a cool eight million.
00:31:35That's his fatal flaw.
00:31:37He thinks everyone's as saintly as he is.
00:31:39Well, time for St. Thomas to pay.
00:31:41Still, Bennett Timber's just an empty shell now.
00:31:44We've got the money and the timber.
00:31:45Why do we even want those old sawmills?
00:31:47Because all you took was the cash.
00:31:49The real value is Bennett Timber's decades of hard-earned reputation,
00:31:53its vast timberland,
00:31:54and its long-term port contracts.
00:31:57Meaning?
00:31:58The Walker Group is hunting for a long-term lumber supplier
00:32:01and a port partner.
00:32:02Whoever holds Bennett Timber gets a seat at Walker's table.
00:32:05The Walker Group?
00:32:07That name's always in the headlines.
00:32:09But President Walker's never shown his face in public.
00:32:12They say he's a young, handsome gentleman.
00:32:14Every banker and railroad baron in the city
00:32:16is desperate to win his favor.
00:32:17If I use Bennett Timber to get close to him,
00:32:20the entire city elite will have to answer to me.
00:32:38Mr. Walker, welcome to our city.
00:32:41Mr. Walker, your improved derricks brought
00:32:43three dead oil fields back to life.
00:32:46Even the banks back east want to invest now.
00:32:48Partner with us,
00:32:49and we'll give your oil and equipment
00:32:50top priority on the rails.
00:33:03First of all,
00:33:04I'm no mister.
00:33:06Second,
00:33:07I'm not here to talk business.
00:33:09I came here to find someone.
00:33:16Mother,
00:33:17the doctor has told me everything.
00:33:19I know my body.
00:33:21I'm worried about you.
00:33:22It's only been a few days
00:33:24and you've gone so much grayer.
00:33:27Trouble at the company?
00:33:28Or those three children?
00:33:31The company's accounts have been drained.
00:33:33The lumber receipts are all gone.
00:33:35The workers are demanding pay outside the mill
00:33:37and I can't even give them what they're owed.
00:33:40Then,
00:33:41don't worry about me.
00:33:42Get through the crisis in front of you first.
00:33:45Mother,
00:33:45it's stomach cancer.
00:33:46The doctor says you need surgery as soon as possible.
00:33:49I'm so sorry.
00:33:51I'm your son
00:33:51and I can't even afford the treatment you need.
00:33:54Mother,
00:33:56I've failed you.
00:33:58Nonsense.
00:34:00Your workers have wives,
00:34:02children,
00:34:03aging parents.
00:34:05Their families rely on their paychecks.
00:34:07Go do what you have to do.
00:34:10I've already asked Grace to sell the house,
00:34:12the carriage,
00:34:13and the art in the city.
00:34:14She'll take care of it.
00:34:16I know she will.
00:34:17Thomas,
00:34:19I've never trusted Grace.
00:34:21She'd been married three times before she met you.
00:34:24Each husband richer than the last.
00:34:27Now that your fortune is gone,
00:34:29what makes you think she'll stay?
00:34:31Mr. Bennett,
00:34:32an urgent letter has just arrived from Mrs. Bennett.
00:34:35Grace has raised the money.
00:34:39Only $200,000?
00:34:42Dearest Thomas,
00:34:43the buyers learned we're desperate for cash,
00:34:46so they shorted us.
00:34:47I had to take a $200,000 deposit for now
00:34:51so the workers wouldn't be kept waiting.
00:34:54The check is enclosed.
00:34:56I'll keep working on the rest.
00:35:00Our house,
00:35:01the carriage,
00:35:02the art collections,
00:35:04they're worth at least $8 million.
00:35:06And she only got $200,000?
00:35:09Mr. Bennett,
00:35:10perhaps you should review the accounts in the city yourself,
00:35:12leaving everything to your wife.
00:35:14Grace would never betray me.
00:35:18She took that price because she knew the workers couldn't wait.
00:35:22She raised $200,000 in one day.
00:35:25She did everything she could.
00:35:27But we're still $5 million short.
00:35:38I have $200,000 I've saved over the years.
00:35:41Take it.
00:35:46No.
00:35:47You need that money for your surgery.
00:35:49I can't take it.
00:35:50You're my son.
00:35:51How could I stand by when you're in trouble?
00:35:54But this money would save your life.
00:35:56If those workers don't get paid,
00:35:57their families can't get by.
00:35:59Take it.
00:36:00Put food on their tables first.
00:36:02Even with Grace's $200,000 in yours,
00:36:04the workers' rages are still more than $4 million short.
00:36:07Then find another way.
00:36:09You've been in business your whole life
00:36:10and helped so many people,
00:36:12someone will lend you a hand.
00:36:13But it's $4 million.
00:36:15Now the company's in trouble.
00:36:17No bank will lend us that kind of money.
00:36:21There's one person I can think of.
00:36:23Who?
00:36:25Victor Crane.
00:36:27We came to America together
00:36:28and now he controls the city's dock,
00:36:30warehouses, and freight business.
00:36:33$4 million should be well within his reach.
00:36:40Mr. Crane?
00:36:41Mr. Thomas Bennett would like to see you.
00:36:43Send him in.
00:36:43He's an old friend.
00:36:45I can't keep him waiting.
00:36:50Well, look who it is.
00:36:52The great Thomas Bennett himself.
00:36:57What brings you to my little company today?
00:37:03Victor.
00:37:04It's been a long time.
00:37:06It has.
00:37:07Back then,
00:37:08you were busy running your woodlands and sawmills,
00:37:11rubbing elbows with bankers and big merchants.
00:37:13Of course, you wouldn't have time for an old friend
00:37:15hauling freight and minding warehouses.
00:37:18I never forgot you.
00:37:19Well then, I'm honored.
00:37:21Come, set that cane aside
00:37:22and let your old friend help you.
00:37:25Oh dear.
00:37:26Thomas.
00:37:27I didn't mean to.
00:37:29I'm...
00:37:30I'm fine.
00:37:31I had no idea.
00:37:33You can't even stand on your own now?
00:37:38I got hurt in an accident at the mill a few years back.
00:37:41Oh.
00:37:43What a shame.
00:37:49I got hurt in an accident at the mill a few years ago.
00:37:49Victor, could you give me a hand?
00:37:53Oh, then just say what you came to say on all fours.
00:37:56Stop beating around the Bosch.
00:37:58I don't have time for chit-chat.
00:38:10Victor, I'd like to borrow four million dollars.
00:38:12My workers are still waiting on their wages.
00:38:14I promise I'll pay it back in a month.
00:38:17Principle and interest.
00:38:18Four million?
00:38:20That's pocket change to me.
00:38:22You'll lend it to me?
00:38:25I can.
00:38:28But only if you crawl over here and beg on your knees.
00:38:40Victor, you're joking, right?
00:38:42I'll pay you back the four million within a month.
00:38:44Whatever interest you name.
00:38:46We came to America together.
00:38:48We've known each other for years.
00:38:50I really am in trouble, Victor, and I'm hoping you can help me.
00:38:53Help you.
00:38:54Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:38:57Thomas, do you think you're still that big-shot lumber baron that your word is law?
00:39:00I never thought that.
00:39:04We both came here with nothing.
00:39:06You made your fortune a few years before I did, and suddenly you were lecturing me, telling
00:39:10me how to live as if you always knew better.
00:39:13I never looked down on you.
00:39:15Oh, really?
00:39:16Did you forget the first time I came to you for money?
00:39:26Bring us what you owe in three days.
00:39:28If you set foot inside again, we'll break your legs.
00:39:43Thomas!
00:39:45Please, lend me 500.
00:39:47I'll go back in there and win it all back.
00:39:52Here's 50.
00:39:53Enough for three days' food and lodging.
00:39:55I'm sorry, my friend, but I won't stand by and watch you throw your life away.
00:40:06Thomas, the party's about to start.
00:40:12Remember?
00:40:13You shoved $50 at me like I was some beggar.
00:40:16I really wanted to help.
00:40:17If it happened again, I'd do the same thing.
00:40:19Exactly what I hate about you!
00:40:20You're always right, always noble.
00:40:22St. Thomas!
00:40:23You had the mills, the name, and everyone's respect.
00:40:26Even the woman I wanted, she married you.
00:40:29The past has nothing to do with what I'm asking for today.
00:40:31Oh, it has everything to do with this.
00:40:33I begged you once.
00:40:35Today, at last, it's your turn to beg me.
00:40:39If you don't, your workers won't get paid.
00:40:43Tonight, their families will go hungry.
00:40:45By winter, their children will have no shoes, and their parents will freeze to death.
00:40:51You keep calling them your responsibility.
00:40:53So, prove it.
00:40:56Get on your knees.
00:40:57That's all it takes to save them.
00:40:59Or is that pride of yours worth more than their lives?
00:41:04If I kneel, you'll lend me the four million?
00:41:23Wait!
00:41:25Grace!
00:41:29Victor, is this how you treat an old friend?
00:41:31Have you forgotten how he helped you?
00:41:50Whatever he owes, I'll cover it this time.
00:41:53Walk away from the tables, Victor.
00:41:56Stop gambling your life away.
00:42:02Mr. Bennett, you've paid his bail in full.
00:42:04But next time we catch him smuggling, no one can save him.
00:42:11Victor, you can make good money running a warehouse or freight.
00:42:14Why in God's name are you smuggling?
00:42:15Oh, save it!
00:42:16I'm out of cash.
00:42:17If I don't smuggle, the company goes under tomorrow.
00:42:18A businessman lives and dies by his reputation.
00:42:21Keep breaking the law, and no one will ever do business with you again.
00:42:28I'm finished!
00:42:30I can't pay what I owe.
00:42:31They'll lock me up!
00:42:35Draw money from my account.
00:42:37Help him save the warehouse.
00:42:39Yes, sir.
00:42:44Your old friend bailed you out and put up the money to save your warehouse.
00:42:51Now you hate him because he saw you at your lowest?
00:42:55Grace.
00:42:57That's right.
00:42:58So you waited 15 years for him to get old and crippled, so you can watch him lose everything he
00:43:05built?
00:43:07That's right.
00:43:08And you dangle those workers' livelihoods over the man who saved you twice, to force him to crawl at your
00:43:15feet?
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18I can hardly wait to see it.
00:43:21Victor, you really are an ungrateful, wicked, hopeless son of a bitch.
00:43:27Grace, never mind all that.
00:43:29Tell me, how much more were you able to raise?
00:43:38But, I happen to have a weakness for bad boys.
00:43:43Grace?
00:43:44What the hell?
00:43:48From what I've dug up, Grace has been moving Thomas' assets into Victor's accounts all along.
00:43:53She and Victor have been colluding for a long time.
00:43:57Drive faster.
00:43:59We need to get there as soon as possible.
00:44:04Oh, Thomas, that look on your face is priceless.
00:44:08Don't worry, your eyes aren't lying.
00:44:10Victor and I, we've been together a long time.
00:44:12Grace.
00:44:13You.
00:44:19I'm a man of my word.
00:44:20Get on your knees, and I'll sign the check right now.
00:44:23No, I still have some dignity left.
00:44:27Sorry to trouble you.
00:44:28Good day.
00:44:30I treated you well for 15 years.
00:44:33Why are you doing this?
00:44:35Because you're finished.
00:44:37You can't get back up.
00:44:38Let me get up.
00:44:39We'll talk face to face.
00:44:41Face to face.
00:44:42With your height, your stature, you'll always stand ahead above me.
00:44:45But now, I've finally got you under my boot.
00:44:48I'll never let you get back up.
00:44:49I want your children to see you in all your glory.
00:44:59You don't know yet, huh?
00:45:01Mr. Crane is our new father now.
00:45:04From now on, I'm only calling him Dad.
00:45:06At least he won't keep me in some sawdust-covered backwater dump.
00:45:09That's right.
00:45:10Dad promised everything you were too stingy for, he'll give us all of it.
00:45:14You...
00:45:15You'd call him father?
00:45:17One more thing.
00:45:18Moving the company's money and the receipts,
00:45:21Mr. Victor taught us exactly how to gut Bennett timber.
00:45:23So it was him.
00:45:25I just pointed the way.
00:45:27It was your three fine children who handed me everything you had with their own hands.
00:45:33Don't blame them.
00:45:34This was all my idea to begin with.
00:45:36You had them steal my money?
00:45:38How can you call it stealing?
00:45:40Isn't a man supposed to provide for his family?
00:45:43I just taught them to take what's rightfully theirs.
00:45:46So you've been lying to me for 15 years?
00:45:50I married you because you were the richest lumberman around.
00:45:53I thought I'd live in the grandest house in the city and go to the finest balls.
00:45:57Instead, I was stuck in the country with you, breathing sawdust and machine oil.
00:46:01I've been so sick of you, that sawmill, and your filthy workers.
00:46:05The heart-worn family reunion's over.
00:46:07Now, let's talk business.
00:46:09Sign here, hand me the sawmills, the timberland, and every dock contract.
00:46:13Then, this $4 million check is yours.
00:46:15Never.
00:46:16Bennett timber is my life's work.
00:46:18If you don't sign, your workers will never see their wages.
00:46:21Their children will go hungry.
00:46:22Their old folks will freeze to death.
00:46:24Oh, great, Mr. Bennett.
00:46:26Is your company more important than their lives?
00:46:28You're using the workers' livelihoods to force my hand.
00:46:31Yes, and you have no other choice.
00:46:33I won't sign!
00:46:34That's not up to you.
00:46:39Let go of me!
00:46:44Sign it.
00:46:45You've got nothing left anyway.
00:46:47Once I have Bennett timber and partner with the Walker group,
00:46:50this whole city will answer to me.
00:46:53Just sign it, you old wretch!
00:46:56Sir, President Walker has arrived.
00:46:58Stop!
00:47:07Stop!
00:47:10Stop!
00:47:10Stop!
00:47:12You must be Mr. Walker.
00:47:13Forgive me for not greeting you properly.
00:47:21Quick.
00:47:22Get this old bugger out of here.
00:47:25Stop!
00:47:29Mr. Bennett, what have you done to him?
00:47:31A misunderstanding, that's all.
00:47:34I'm an old friend of Bennett's.
00:47:36He owes his workers a great deal in back pay,
00:47:38and he came here to shake me down and make a scene.
00:47:40Mr. Merson, you've completely misunderstood.
00:47:43Thomas hasn't been well for years.
00:47:45His mind's gone foggy, that's why the company's been failing.
00:47:47He simply lost control of himself today, so it came to this.
00:47:50The company's been failing because of you, right?
00:47:54Mrs. Bennett, we're taking him to the hospital.
00:47:59I'm his wife!
00:48:00I have to go with him!
00:48:02Save it, Mr. Bennett.
00:48:04Hold on.
00:48:06Idiots!
00:48:07You defend the Walker group!
00:48:09He's just a secretary!
00:48:11You are...
00:48:12Harriet Walker.
00:48:14You may have forgotten we've met before.
00:48:16Perhaps you're mistaken.
00:48:18A lady as striking as you, I'd certainly remember you.
00:48:21I'm not mistaken.
00:48:22You were my first mentor.
00:48:24You taught me how to build my own business.
00:48:26Now you're in trouble.
00:48:27I've come to help.
00:48:29Fifty million?
00:48:30Good heavens, Miss.
00:48:31Fifty million.
00:48:32Enough to cover your workers' wages and your mother's cancer treatment.
00:48:35No.
00:48:36I can't take this much money for nothing.
00:48:38Miss, fifty million is far too much.
00:48:39Listen, Thomas, just take it.
00:48:41Walker Petroleum.
00:48:42The company with the refined light fuel technology.
00:48:44You're working with them.
00:48:46That's right.
00:48:48I'd like you to come.
00:48:49All right.
00:48:51I'll be there.
00:48:52Get the cash to Lakeport as fast as you can.
00:48:54Yes, ma'am.
00:48:56And buy a stake in Bennett Timber in the Walker group's name.
00:48:59Then inject one billion under my personal name.
00:49:03Boss, Bennett Timber's cash flow has collapsed.
00:49:06It's on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:49:08Your investment will go straight down the drain.
00:49:10Do as I say.
00:49:10Just sign it.
00:49:11It's the only way to make things right for me and the children.
00:49:14Grace, you're a viper.
00:49:15I will not let Bennett Timber fall to you snakes.
00:49:20Quit while you're ahead, old man.
00:49:22Julian, Richard, Clara, look me in the eye.
00:49:24Tell me, who provided for you all these years, sent you to the finest schools?
00:49:28Your wish was his command.
00:49:29Thomas really loved you as his own.
00:49:30Not this again.
00:49:32He cheated.
00:49:32He stiffed the workers.
00:49:33He ran the company into the ground.
00:49:35He's not our father.
00:49:36Clara, what about you?
00:49:37Thomas doted on you most of all.
00:49:40Dresses, carriages, jewels.
00:49:42He could never say no to you.
00:49:43John Miller, three months wages, two kids waiting on winter coats.
00:49:47Sam Wilson, sick wife, no food left in the house.
00:49:49Peter Brown, still can't afford the cost of his mother's funeral.
00:49:52You hear that?
00:49:54Your workers can barely survive, all because of your bad decisions.
00:49:58This house is only borrowed.
00:50:00There's no money hidden here.
00:50:02Then, let us search it.
00:50:04You are not going in there.
00:50:06Learn your place.
00:50:08From now on, everything belongs to the new management.
00:50:10The sawmills, timberland, dock contracts, and railroad tie supply rights.
00:50:16Thomas Bennett, you're finally nothing now.
00:50:19Does this mean we'll get our back pay now?
00:50:21Oh, a transfer of ownership is complicated business.
00:50:25Until the books are sorted out, the wages will have to wait.
00:50:28Wait!
00:50:29We only agreed to come out here for our wages!
00:50:32In that case, don't go home empty-handed.
00:50:34Thomas hid years of stolen money in this house.
00:50:37Now's the time to take it from him.
00:50:39See this money?
00:50:40Mr. Bennett sent me to withdraw it from the bank to pay your wages.
00:50:44You couldn't wait even one day.
00:50:45You beat up his mother and his assistant, and you tore his house apart.
00:50:52We didn't know.
00:50:56Don't blame them, Mr. Mercer.
00:50:58Mr. Bennett, they nearly destroyed the last home you have.
00:51:02They worked hard all year.
00:51:03They just want their pay to get their families through the winter.
00:51:07I withheld their wages.
00:51:08Someone turned them against me today.
00:51:10It's understandable.
00:51:15Consider yourselves lucky.
00:51:18Your souls get to...
00:51:25Help me!
00:51:28Run!
00:51:29Run!
00:51:29Run!
00:51:29Stay back!
00:51:44Who are you I've never heard of a wizard with power like this of course you haven't because a year
00:51:50ago
00:51:50I was just a nobody
00:52:02you
00:52:18Master I finished sweeping the room. I'll go ring the bell now
00:52:23Go on
00:52:34You brought it
00:52:38Lady Lauren the seals binding the warlocks are failing even the Dark Lord is on the verge of breaking free
00:52:44Please we need you to stop him
00:52:50Me no not this time, but
00:52:56He might be able to help
00:53:01If you become his woman if it saves the Academy, I'll do anything. I'll marry him right now
00:53:08Marry don't flatter yourself. You'd be lucky if he kept you around as a servant
00:53:14Jason come here
00:53:20Jason the Gaven family's failure of a son. I thought he was born without magic. He can't even hold mana.
00:53:26How's he supposed to help us?
00:53:27Jason you've always wanted to know how your mother died, right?
00:53:3620 years ago the Dark Lord saw a vision of his death
00:53:41That a prodigy wielding golden mana would rise and kill him
00:53:46Terrified he ordered a per
00:53:49Then my mother
00:53:50Then my mother
00:53:52Yes
00:53:53She sacrificed her life to protect you to keep the warrocks from finding you. I laid a seal on you
00:54:01The last 20 years it hid every drop of your mana
00:54:14What's this drink this and the seal breaks
00:54:17Unleashing all your mana. However, the warlocks will sense it immediately and they will come for you
00:54:24The weak ones can't touch you anymore
00:54:26But once the seal is broken your life becomes a battlefield
00:54:33Choose carefully
00:54:40I'll do it
00:54:42To avenge my mother
00:54:44Good
00:54:46Zorath was one of the warlocks who killed her and his seal is about to break
00:54:50Maybe fate's giving you a chance to settle the score
00:55:01My mother
00:55:14Impossible! How can he have so much mana?
00:55:2020 years sealed, undone in a breath.
00:55:23Let it out! All of it!
00:55:31This is just a seal coming off! How much mana is in there?
00:55:36S-rank mana? I only just made S-rank after 50 years of study!
00:55:40The rank-measuring orb couldn't take it. It just crumbled.
00:55:45Jason's mana is far past S-rank.
00:55:49Wait for it. One day, this whole continent will know his name.
00:55:57Go, Jason. Let Zorath, the Dark Warden, be your first medal.
00:56:21Finally. After 10 years, I've finally broken through that cursing field!
00:56:27No!
00:56:41We're too late. Zorath's already broken the seal.
00:56:44Jason, stay close and stay sharp. Dark magic suppresses my power.
00:56:48I can't fight at full strength here.
00:56:49Ha! The headmaster of the Magic Academy herself!
00:56:54I was just about to come looking for you, and you walked straight into my hands.
00:57:02Be careful. He's a legend even among the warlocks. A rank at least.
00:57:07Perfect. You think you can stop me?
00:57:12No!
00:57:20The...
00:57:22What?
00:57:23Golden mana. Impossible. I killed you 20 years ago.
00:57:28I watched your mother take her last breath!
00:57:30Sorry to disappoint, but I'm alive. And you're dying today.
00:57:34Two, two, three, six...
00:57:41Time to join your mother in...
00:57:43Ow!
00:57:45Dammit! The boy's far stronger than I thought.
00:57:47I can't beat him like this. I need my power back foot!
00:57:51Running already.
00:57:56Ah!
00:58:01That was easier than I expected.
00:58:04One move.
00:58:05He destroyed Zorath with just one move.
00:58:08This shouldn't be possible.
00:58:10Headmaster Graves, I should go.
00:58:12After I say goodbye to my master, I'm heading home.
00:58:14The warlocks took my mother and countless others.
00:58:17I can't change that.
00:58:18But I can make damn sure they don't take anyone else.
00:58:21Let me take you.
00:58:32Damn him!
00:58:33One strike nearly destroyed me!
00:58:35If my necromancy hadn't dragged my soul back, I'd be finished.
00:58:39My master will return soon.
00:58:42I need to find the gem of revival and rebuild myself fast!
00:58:48The seals are breaking.
00:58:51And Zorath's undead are already at our borders.
00:58:54Every fighter who can still stand, take up your arms and join me!
00:58:58We hold this land together, or we die defending it.
00:59:02Drive out the warlocks!
00:59:04Drive out the warlocks!
00:59:07Relax, father.
00:59:09I'm a C-rank wizard.
00:59:10A handful of undead grunts, please.
00:59:18Father, I want to go too!
00:59:23Andrew's already a C-rank mage.
00:59:25Jason's been training for over ten years and still can't even hold manor.
00:59:29And he thinks he's fit for battle?
00:59:32He's cursed, too.
00:59:33His mother died the day he was born.
00:59:35You really want someone like that fighting beside us?
00:59:38He'll get us all killed.
00:59:40Only that old hag in the bell tower would take him in.
00:59:44If you ask me, Lord Leon should exile the reject then for himself.
00:59:49Jason?
00:59:50You're supposed to be minding the bell tower.
00:59:52What are you doing here?
00:59:53Go back!
00:59:53We're going to war!
00:59:54Not on some reckless adventure!
00:59:56Father, I'm part of this family, too.
00:59:58I want to do my part.
00:59:59I can do this!
01:00:01Don't worry, darling.
01:00:02I'll pass the wizard's exam this time.
01:00:04I want to do my part for this family, too.
01:00:08The dark magic ate through her.
01:00:11She spent the last of her life for to keep the child alive.
01:00:19My lord, Jason is asking to see you.
01:00:22Send him away.
01:00:23Tell him I'm out.
01:00:24My lord, rumors are floating around the domain.
01:00:27They say you can't stand the sight of young Master Jason.
01:00:33Find whoever started it.
01:00:34Make an example of them.
01:00:39I'm sorry, Jason.
01:00:41I don't want to shut you out, but I just...
01:00:43I can't look you in the face.
01:00:45Not when you look so much like your mother.
01:00:48Jason.
01:00:49Wanting to serve this family, that's a good thing.
01:00:52Getting a little too confident up in that bell tower, aren't you?
01:00:55Don't forget what you are.
01:00:56A reject who can't even hold mana.
01:00:57What are you going to do, polish the undead to death?
01:01:00Blind them with that broken lamp?
01:01:02Enough, Andrew.
01:01:03Jason is your brother.
01:01:05Watch your mouth.
01:01:07Father, I don't agree.
01:01:08Jason doesn't even have a proper magic weapon.
01:01:10He'll just drag the rest of us down.
01:01:13He's right, my lord.
01:01:14We need a real wizard in battle, not a bell ringer with no mana.
01:01:18Father, I do have a magic weapon.
01:01:20My master gave me this lantern.
01:01:22I know how to use it.
01:01:24Lorraine gave you that?
01:01:28It's strange.
01:01:30It looks like junk, but the inside is shrouded by some kind of magic.
01:01:34I can't make out what it's made of.
01:01:38Jason, this will be a dangerous journey.
01:01:40If you want to see the world, fine.
01:01:43But you must stay by my side at all times.
01:01:47Understood?
01:01:47Yes, father.
01:01:48I will.
01:01:49I promise.
01:01:51We start tonight.
01:01:53We will patrol the borders in shifts.
01:01:56Andrew, first squad with me.
01:02:00Don't worry, father.
01:02:01I'll prove myself.
01:02:03Care for little reject.
01:02:05Don't wander too far without daddy holding your hand.
01:02:21Hand over the gem of revival and you keep your lives.
01:02:25Refuse.
01:02:25We level this city!
01:02:27A red robe.
01:02:29Only warlocks above B-rank can wear those.
01:02:31Oh, my God.
01:02:33That's it.
01:02:34Her mana barely registers.
01:02:36She's nothing special.
01:02:37You're a jerk.
01:02:42Legions of the dead.
01:02:44With me!
01:02:47My Lord, the gates will fall at this rate.
01:02:56Father, leave this to me.
01:03:36Father, come on in.
01:03:40See that little reject? That's what real magic looks like.
01:03:49No! Those skeletons aren't finished yet!
01:03:57Andrew wiped out dozens of undead in one move.
01:04:00He's more powerful than an entire army.
01:04:02So much for the Red Rogue Warlack.
01:04:04Andrew drove her back without breaking a sweat.
01:04:06With Andrew here, no warlock can touch us.
01:04:09My lord, with Andrew on our side, what warlock could possibly threaten us?
01:04:13You should be proud, Lord Leon.
01:04:15Raising a prodigy like Andrew is an achievement in itself.
01:04:21The boy's done well. He really has.
01:04:30Andrew! Don't drop your guard! Those skeletons aren't dead!
01:04:40What's wrong, Jason?
01:04:42I'm scared of something I can crush under my boot.
01:04:45Born to the same father.
01:04:46But how is Jason so far behind Andrew?
01:04:49I bet he nearly wet himself from that little battle just now.
01:04:52He's just a useless coward.
01:04:53Who let him near a battlefield?
01:04:59Andrew!
01:05:00Andrew!
01:05:00Your leg!
01:05:01Expel your mana now!
01:05:05So one of you has a brain after all.
01:05:08Shame it's already too late.
01:05:14God, did you hear that?
01:05:15The reject's giving me orders.
01:05:20Father, make Andrew Jason-
01:05:21Enough, Jason!
01:05:25Andrew's already been marked by the Necromancer's mana.
01:05:28If he doesn't purge every drop of it right now, he'll become her puppet.
01:05:31Jason, I warned you.
01:05:33You're here to observe, not make trouble.
01:05:36Andrew is risking his life for House Gaville.
01:05:38Don't let your jealousy turn you against your own brother.
01:05:45No.
01:05:46It's too late.
01:05:48Andrew!
01:05:49For the honor of House Gaville, drive every last warlock from our land!
01:05:57Don't worry, father, I'll-
01:06:04Master Andrew, are you alright?
01:06:21What's happening? I can't control my body!
01:06:24He- he's turned into the Warlock's puppet. We have to bind him, now!
01:06:29Binding? That's my specialty.
01:06:36No.
01:06:37Father!
01:06:40We need to help Andrew now, or it's all over!
01:06:43That doesn't mean you have to throw your life away.
01:06:46Father!
01:06:47Enough!
01:06:48Jason!
01:06:49You'd only be dead weight.
01:06:50I can't fight a Warlock with one hand and keep you alive with the other!
01:07:11Andru, wake up! Don't let the Warlock consume you!
01:07:18You lot think you can stop me.
01:07:21I won't let you take me!
01:07:27The gate's fallen. We're finished.
01:07:31Andrew!
01:07:32What the hell are you doing?!
01:07:33No!
01:07:34I don't want this either!
01:07:41Father!
01:07:44How did... come to this?
01:07:47C-rank mage. Pathetic.
01:07:49Worthy or not even worth controlling. Die.
01:07:52This is bad.
01:07:54That Warlock has to be above B-rank.
01:07:57We're screwed.
01:07:59Get out of my way.
01:08:00I can save them.
01:08:01Master Jason.
01:08:02Lord Leon is just trying to keep you alive.
01:08:04He's right.
01:08:06We won't let you run to your death.
01:08:07Move.
01:08:08I need to help my father.
01:08:10No!
01:08:11I don't want to die!
01:08:16Father!
01:08:17You're alive?
01:08:20Father!
01:08:22Let me help!
01:08:23I won't let my son just die.
01:08:25Not while your old man's still kicking.
01:08:33I'll hold it here!
01:08:34Everyone, start casting!
01:08:38Stay out of my way.
01:08:42That Titan's just a corpse running on necromancy.
01:08:45The source is in the head.
01:08:46Father!
01:08:47Aim for its forehead!
01:08:57Master Jason!
01:08:58Stop making things worse.
01:08:59If you knew the first thing about necromancy,
01:09:01you'd know a re-a-mated corpse's weak point is the heart.
01:09:03No!
01:09:03This Titan is different!
01:09:05Jason.
01:09:06Really?
01:09:07Even now, you're still trying to prove yourself.
01:09:10Aim at its heart!
01:09:11You...
01:09:25I'm so sorry!
01:09:27I'm so sorry!
01:09:27It worked!
01:09:28Thank the gods!
01:09:30I'm so sorry!
01:09:31I don't know why, but that Titan felt off.
01:09:33Just like Jason said, the necromancy was strongest at the brow, not the heart.
01:09:38But...
01:09:39No.
01:09:39It had to be a coincidence.
01:09:44All thanks to Lord Leon, he led us to defeat the Titan and the Warlock!
01:09:48That's our lord!
01:09:49With the Ultronchemist!
01:09:58The Titan Spinner Back
01:09:59The Titan isn't dead!
01:10:01What?
01:10:05Your domain actually produced a genius!
01:10:07What a shame!
01:10:08Even a genius gets dragged down by idiots!
01:10:14what is that thing it's an a-ranked parasite tree that's it that's why it felt so wrong
01:10:20the real undead wasn't the titan it was a parasite tree nesting in its brain
01:10:43we're finished we lost our one chance to kill it
01:10:49a city this prosperous a gem of revival all of it will be mine
