00:00:00A whole wall of gold bars!
00:00:02I, Martin Brooks, will turn my life around.
00:00:08What brings you here?
00:00:10Michelle will be furious if she finds out.
00:00:12Michelle's pregnant.
00:00:13I just came to help her out.
00:00:15Why would she be upset?
00:00:16Come on in.
00:00:19Matthew, who told you to let him in?
00:00:21He reeks like some filthy bum.
00:00:23I brought a chicken.
00:00:24I'll make some soup for you and my little grandson.
00:00:27Who wanted chicken soup?
00:00:28Who wants this cheap junk?
00:00:30Get out!
00:00:31Michelle, what are you doing?
00:00:33What a waste!
00:00:34Matthew, I didn't marry you to end up looking after your penniless old father.
00:00:38He's our father.
00:00:39He only came to help.
00:00:41He's your father.
00:00:42Matthew, choose right now.
00:00:44In this house, it's either him or me.
00:00:46One of us has to go.
00:00:47Michelle, when Matthew married you, I paid the bride price and bought the five-piece gold set.
00:00:52Even the house was paid for with my retirement savings.
00:00:54Now that I'm broke living out in the country, you think you're too good for me.
00:00:58Then go back to the countryside.
00:00:59No poor relatives dragging us down.
00:01:02Besides, who here even wants you?
00:01:04Matthew, say something.
00:01:10Father, go back to your place for now.
00:01:13Don't make this hard for me.
00:01:14Fine.
00:01:15I'll leave.
00:01:19I'm poor, but does that make me worthless?
00:01:23If only I had some money.
00:01:26Get lost!
00:01:28Grandpa, get inside!
00:01:33My eyes.
00:01:42I can see through things.
00:01:44Even bugs inside tree bark.
00:01:46I could make money with this.
00:01:53Gold!
00:01:54A whole wall of gold!
00:01:56Good grief!
00:01:57I really have x-ray vision.
00:01:59So much gold!
00:02:00This must be worth hundreds of millions.
00:02:02If I could get it, I'd be rich for life.
00:02:09Tiger's mom.
00:02:10That old house.
00:02:11Whose place is that?
00:02:12It's the ancestral home of Harold Grant.
00:02:15He's asking $20,000.
00:02:16It's sat unsold for years.
00:02:17This could work.
00:02:19Martin, why do you ask?
00:02:21Oh, nothing.
00:02:22Just curious.
00:02:24All right.
00:02:24I'd better go.
00:02:26Go on, then.
00:02:32Years on the market.
00:02:33Still no buyers.
00:02:34Harold must have no idea there's gold hidden in those walls.
00:02:37I need to scrape together $20,000.
00:02:39If I buy the house, I can claim that gold fair and square.
00:02:42Once I'm rich, Michelle won't dare look down on me.
00:02:45And Matthew won't dare disown me.
00:02:46It's my turn to turn things around.
00:02:54Hello.
00:02:55Andy.
00:02:56Grandpa, did you hurt yourself in that fall?
00:02:58No.
00:02:59Grandpa's fine.
00:03:00Good boy, Andy.
00:03:01Once I've made some money, I'll come see you.
00:03:03Who said you could call that old man?
00:03:05Give me the phone.
00:03:05Andy.
00:03:09Mommy's so mean.
00:03:10I miss you, Grandpa.
00:03:12Andy, don't cry.
00:03:14Grandpa's here.
00:03:15Michelle, don't hit him.
00:03:17Shut up.
00:03:18You broke, worthless old man.
00:03:20Stop bothering us.
00:03:22Keep your bad luck away from my son.
00:03:24If you're poor, people walk all over you.
00:03:27I can't even see my grandson.
00:03:31Fine.
00:03:32All you care about is money, right?
00:03:34Once I've saved enough to buy that house and get the gold, we'll see if you can still act so
00:03:42high and mighty.
00:03:47Harold Grant's family home hides hundreds of millions, and it's only $20,000.
00:03:51I've got $8,000 saved.
00:03:53If I sell my stored wheat, my old cow, and everything in the pig pen, I could raise $6,000
00:03:58to $7,000.
00:03:59Then I'll get back the $5,000 I lent Derek and Gloria.
00:04:02That should nearly cover it.
00:04:08Martin, what brings you into town?
00:04:11Come on in.
00:04:18Have you eaten yet?
00:04:20Derek's having a drink.
00:04:21Sit down and have a bite.
00:04:23I'm not hungry.
00:04:26Gloria, Derek, you borrowed $5,000 from me a few years ago.
00:04:31Can you repay it?
00:04:32I need the money right away.
00:04:34What money?
00:04:35I never borrowed a cent.
00:04:37Don't try to shake me down.
00:04:38Derek!
00:04:39When you needed money for the down payment for a home in a top school district,
00:04:43I used my retirement fund and gave you $5,000 as a loan.
00:04:50Where's the signed note?
00:04:52I never wrote one.
00:04:53No note, huh?
00:04:55But we're family.
00:04:57I trusted you then.
00:04:58That's why I didn't ask for paperwork.
00:05:00How can you deny it now?
00:05:01Don't play the family card with me, you broke old country bumpkin.
00:05:05You can't earn your own money, so you come here to sponge off me.
00:05:08$5,000.
00:05:09You're not getting a cent.
00:05:11Derek, I remember borrowing it too.
00:05:14Martin really did lend us the money.
00:05:16And he needs it now.
00:05:17Can't we pay back at least some?
00:05:20Shut up, you stupid woman.
00:05:22Since when do you call the shots?
00:05:24Say one more word, and I'll throw you out with him.
00:05:28Enough.
00:05:28Martin Brooks, no written proof.
00:05:31Then get out.
00:05:32If you can't afford to eat, take the leftover food.
00:05:35Consider it a handout.
00:05:39That bowl is worth $50,000.
00:05:41If you won't repay my $5,000, I'll take this $50,000 bowl as compensation.
00:05:46You said I could have it.
00:05:48I'm taking the bowl.
00:05:53You've lost your mind.
00:05:54Do you think that cheap bowl's a treasure?
00:05:56Take it then.
00:05:57Now get lost.
00:05:58Derek, you wouldn't know treasure if it hit you.
00:06:01This $50,000 treasure is mine now.
00:06:07Martin, wait.
00:06:09Derek handles all the money.
00:06:10He refuses to pay you back.
00:06:12There's nothing I can do.
00:06:13But I've secretly saved a few hundred dollars.
00:06:16Take it.
00:06:17You need it more.
00:06:18Gloria, hold on to this money.
00:06:21Keep it for yourself.
00:06:22When I get back on my feet, I'll make sure you're taken care of.
00:06:25You won't have to put up with Derek.
00:06:29Martin.
00:06:33Excuse me.
00:06:34Do you buy antiques here?
00:06:36We do.
00:06:37Sir, what are you selling?
00:06:40Is that...
00:06:42Sir, this is a well-preserved Northern Song molded ding bowl.
00:06:45You hardly ever see one of these.
00:06:47I'll give you $50,000.
00:06:49Would you take it?
00:06:49That's exactly the price my golden eyes showed me.
00:06:53Deal.
00:06:54I'll scan your QR code.
00:06:56$50,000!
00:06:58The $50,000 came through.
00:07:00Now I can afford the house.
00:07:02Gold worth tens of millions is about to be mine.
00:07:05What?
00:07:06You want to buy my house?
00:07:10Martin, I'm asking $20,000 for it.
00:07:13How'd a broke man like you afford it?
00:07:15Did you steal it or rob someone?
00:07:20$20,000.
00:07:22Not a penny less.
00:07:23And every cent is legit.
00:07:26Harold Grant.
00:07:28Well, are you selling or not?
00:07:30Honey, I heard Martin was kicked out by his daughter-in-law.
00:07:34He must have sold everything he owned just to buy our house.
00:07:38Father, mother's right.
00:07:40We'd get $20,000 for that wreck.
00:07:42It's practically free money.
00:07:43Why turn it down?
00:07:45Fine, Martin.
00:07:47Since you're down on your luck, I'll sell you the house.
00:07:49But let's get one thing straight.
00:07:51It's $20,000, not a penny less.
00:07:53Deal.
00:07:55Martin, I should warn you.
00:07:58That house is falling apart.
00:08:01If it collapses and hurts someone, don't come asking me for your money back.
00:08:05Don't worry.
00:08:06We'll put it all in writing.
00:08:08The house and everything inside belong to me starting today.
00:08:12If anything goes wrong later, I won't hold you responsible.
00:08:16All right.
00:08:17Give him the keys and the property deed.
00:08:25All that gold, worth a fortune, it's mine.
00:08:30That's $20,000.
00:08:45The house is finally mine.
00:08:48And all the gold in those walls belongs to me at last.
00:08:55This wall's too thick.
00:08:57I can't break it open by hand.
00:08:58And it's already dark.
00:08:59The hardware store's closed.
00:09:01Where can I find a hammer?
00:09:06My daughter Lily has a heavy sledgehammer.
00:09:10I'll go borrow it.
00:09:21You old geezer.
00:09:22What do you want?
00:09:22Let me make one thing clear.
00:09:23We can't afford to take you in.
00:09:25Nick, not at all.
00:09:26I'm not here for money.
00:09:27I just want to borrow a sledgehammer.
00:09:29Spare me the excuses.
00:09:30The whole village knows.
00:09:31Your precious son in the city kicked you out.
00:09:33Your son has disowned you.
00:09:34So now you come mooching off Lily.
00:09:36Have you no shame?
00:09:37Nick!
00:09:37I'm Lily's father.
00:09:39Poor or not.
00:09:40All I want is to borrow a hammer.
00:09:41There's no need to humiliate me.
00:09:44Nick.
00:09:45Please, stop.
00:09:46Father only came to borrow a tool.
00:09:48You witch!
00:09:49You dare take his side?
00:09:50Your deadbeat father has embarrassed me enough already.
00:09:52I paid to marry you.
00:09:54And all I got was bad luck.
00:09:55And you keep dragging your family's problems into my house.
00:09:58Are you asking for a beating?
00:09:59He's my father.
00:10:00Don't insult him like that.
00:10:02You dare talk back?
00:10:03I'll teach you a lesson.
00:10:11Lily!
00:10:12What happened to your arm?
00:10:14Did that brute do this to you?
00:10:16No, father.
00:10:18I knocked it at work.
00:10:20A bump wouldn't leave marks like that.
00:10:22Lily, tell me the truth.
00:10:24Did he do this?
00:10:26You old fool.
00:10:27Stay out of my business.
00:10:28I can discipline my own wife.
00:10:30Who asked you to butt in?
00:10:31Nick.
00:10:32You can bully me.
00:10:33And I can take it.
00:10:34But you laid a hand on my daughter?
00:10:36I'll fight you to the death before I let you get away with it.
00:10:40You're already one foot in the grave, you useless old fool.
00:10:42Go ahead.
00:10:43Try touching me.
00:10:44Father, stop fighting.
00:10:46Please.
00:10:48Father, take the hammer and leave.
00:10:50I'm fine.
00:10:51I'll just put up with it.
00:10:53Breaking down the wall can wait.
00:10:54So can getting the gold.
00:10:56But he laid hands on my daughter.
00:10:58Tonight, he's going to pay for it.
00:11:04Nick Bennett, I'm taking Lily to your parents.
00:11:06They owe us an explanation.
00:11:07Let them see for themselves what kind of monster they raised.
00:11:10A wife beater.
00:11:11Father, please, let it go.
00:11:13If we make a scene, how am I supposed to keep living in this family?
00:11:16What life?
00:11:17Stay here any longer and the Bennets will kill you.
00:11:20Let's go.
00:11:21Go on, if you dare.
00:11:22These days, money talks.
00:11:24If Lily leaves the Bennets, she'll be nothing.
00:11:26I've been a pushover all my life.
00:11:28My son threw me out.
00:11:29My brother-in-law insulted me.
00:11:31But I put up with it all.
00:11:32But I won't stand by while my daughter suffers at the hands of her in-laws.
00:11:35Even if it costs me my life, I'll get justice for Lily.
00:11:41Well, look who showed up.
00:11:44Here to throw your weight around.
00:11:46Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, take a good look.
00:11:49Look what your precious son did.
00:11:52Lily married into this family to build a life together.
00:11:55Not to be beaten.
00:11:57You owe me an explanation.
00:11:59What's all the fuss about?
00:12:02When a woman misbehaves, her husband sets her straight.
00:12:05So what?
00:12:06Who hasn't been hit?
00:12:08What makes her so special?
00:12:09She even brought her father as backup.
00:12:11That's right.
00:12:12If she hadn't married our Nick, could she have enough to eat?
00:12:15You ought to be grateful, Martin.
00:12:17Do you hear yourselves?
00:12:19You're defending him for hitting her.
00:12:21Martin, it may sound harsh, but it is true.
00:12:25Lily's been married into our family for years.
00:12:28She can't please Nick or even give us a grandson.
00:12:32We let her stay with us instead of kicking her out.
00:12:36That's very generous.
00:12:38So, he hit her a few times.
00:12:40What's the big deal?
00:12:44Lily's my daughter.
00:12:46She's not your punching bag.
00:12:48How dare you treat her like this?
00:12:50How dare you?
00:12:51You're a penniless old man.
00:12:53How dare you make a scene in my home?
00:12:55She eats our food and lives here.
00:12:56So she obeys our rules.
00:12:59Mother, I'm not freeloading.
00:13:00I work and earn my own money.
00:13:03And I give you every cent I make.
00:13:04I don't spend a cent of your money.
00:13:08You dare argue with me.
00:13:09You married into this family.
00:13:11Everything you earn belongs to us.
00:13:12Don't expect praise for that.
00:13:14Because if we need your measly wages.
00:13:15Enough.
00:13:17If you look down on my family and treat my daughter like dirt.
00:13:20Then Lily's divorcing Nick.
00:13:22What?
00:13:23Lily, come home with me.
00:13:25I'll never let them mistreat you again.
00:13:27Lily, think carefully.
00:13:29Your father's broke.
00:13:30If you go back with him, do you want to suffer even more?
00:13:33But he's my father.
00:13:34Father, I'll go home with you.
00:13:36You think you can just leave?
00:13:38Divorce me and you won't get a single cent.
00:13:41Everything stays here.
00:13:42You leave with nothing.
00:13:43You've been spending my daughter's wages and treating her like a servant.
00:13:47Now you want to send her away penniless.
00:13:49Have you no shame?
00:13:50You worthless old man.
00:13:52Don't push your luck.
00:13:52I'll teach you a lesson too.
00:13:56Father.
00:13:59You witch.
00:14:00You're siding with your father.
00:14:02Just wait till I get you home.
00:14:04Let go of me.
00:14:05Father.
00:14:06Help me.
00:14:07Nick.
00:14:08Touch her one more time and see what happens.
00:14:25From this day on, my daughter's done being the Bennett servant.
00:14:28Nick, every time you hurt her, I'm keeping score.
00:14:31You'll pay for it all with interest.
00:14:33You two are getting a divorce.
00:14:35Fine.
00:14:35Divorce it is.
00:14:36Who'd want a divorced woman like her?
00:14:37You might want to rethink that.
00:14:38She'll always have me.
00:14:39Even if she remarries, she'll be much better off than with brutes like you.
00:14:45Father.
00:14:45What do we do?
00:14:47He's just a broke old man.
00:14:48What's he going to do to us?
00:14:50When Lily moves in with him and they run out of money, she'll come crawling back.
00:14:54Then she'll be at our mercy.
00:14:56Lily.
00:14:57Stay here tonight.
00:14:58Get some rest.
00:14:59Father.
00:15:00I'm sorry.
00:15:00I've caused you so much trouble.
00:15:02We're family.
00:15:03Don't say that.
00:15:04Don't worry about anything.
00:15:06Get some sleep.
00:15:07Tomorrow will be better.
00:15:15Thunder.
00:15:16Thunder.
00:15:17Thunder.
00:15:17Just what I needed.
00:15:22The rain and thunder will drown out the hammering.
00:15:28Time to break through and get the gold.
00:15:31I'm finally turning my life around tonight.
00:15:47Hundreds of millions of dollars in gold.
00:15:50And it's all fine.
00:15:53Good heavens.
00:15:55I'm finally turning my life around.
00:15:57Look at all this gold.
00:15:59Enough to last me several lifetimes.
00:16:03I'll dig out the rest of the gold bars and hide them tonight.
00:16:05All this gold could kill me.
00:16:07I can't let anyone find out.
00:16:09I can't let anyone find out.
00:16:39Selling all this gold for cash at once would draw attention.
00:16:42I'll sell just enough to get by.
00:16:44Then sell the rest little by little.
00:16:53It's all hidden now.
00:16:55Time for bed.
00:17:03You worthless bum.
00:17:04Take your bad luck and get out.
00:17:08I'll beat you to death.
00:17:10You don't hurt my daughter.
00:17:13Pop.
00:17:26The gold bars are still here.
00:17:28So it wasn't a dream.
00:17:34And I've still got this.
00:17:36I need to get into town and sell some.
00:17:43Hello, sir.
00:17:44Welcome.
00:17:45Are you here to buy jewelry or sell gold?
00:17:50I'm here to sell gold.
00:17:56Go get Mr. Walsh.
00:17:57Lots of gold to test.
00:18:00The purity is incredible.
00:18:02It's all genuine gold.
00:18:03Sir, these gold bars are worth $500,000.
00:18:07Please wait in our VIP room.
00:18:08We'll arrange payment right away.
00:18:10$500,000.
00:18:12Once I get paid, Lily will be taken care of.
00:18:15And my sister will finally be able to stand up to her husband.
00:18:18I can visit Andy without worrying.
00:18:20After all these years, I can finally hold my head high.
00:18:26Sir, I'm terribly sorry.
00:18:28We don't have enough cash on hand to buy this gold right now.
00:18:35What?
00:18:39You just agreed to buy my gold.
00:18:41Why the sudden change of mind?
00:18:42Sir, we've just taken on a huge order.
00:18:45All our available cash is tied up.
00:18:51Your gold is worth $500,000.
00:18:54And we can't buy it just yet.
00:18:56See that man over there?
00:18:57He's selling $10 million in gold.
00:18:59Our boss says his deal comes first.
00:19:01I'm really sorry.
00:19:02I need to get my daughter settled.
00:19:04And Andy's waiting to see me.
00:19:06If I can't sell this gold today,
00:19:08how can I provide for them?
00:19:12Excuse me, sir.
00:19:13Can I ask you a favor?
00:19:14Could you spare $500,000 of your deals?
00:19:17So the shop can buy my gold first?
00:19:18My family really needs the money.
00:19:20Where did this old bumpkin come from?
00:19:22You think I'd bargain with you?
00:19:23To you, $500,000 is everything.
00:19:25To me, it's barely pocket change.
00:19:27Get lost.
00:19:28Security, throw this pauper out.
00:19:30If he holds up my $10 million deal,
00:19:31could any of you pay for it?
00:19:32I'll go myself.
00:19:34I'll leave myself.
00:19:43It's fake.
00:19:47Nobody move.
00:19:48That gold is fake.
00:19:52What would a bumpkin like you know?
00:19:54The shop already tested these bars.
00:19:56These bars are pure gold.
00:19:57The outer layer is real gold.
00:19:59But the bars are hollow.
00:20:01They're full of cheap filler.
00:20:02Get a load of this.
00:20:03I wouldn't let him sell $500,000.
00:20:05So now he's holding a grudge.
00:20:07He's calling my gold fake out of spite.
00:20:09A broke loser stays a broke loser.
00:20:10What a spiteful old man.
00:20:12Sir, we have our own verification process.
00:20:15Please don't disrupt our business.
00:20:17If you want to know the truth, cut a bar open.
00:20:20If I'm wrong, you can do whatever you want with me.
00:20:24Miss Weston, he doesn't seem to be lying.
00:20:26And Mr. Pierce's reaction seems suspicious.
00:20:28Test the bars again.
00:20:30Use our best XRF analyzer to test the gold more thoroughly.
00:20:35Miss Weston, the results are back.
00:20:39Well...
00:20:40These gold bars are fake.
00:20:42They're full of non-gold material.
00:20:47Over a dozen bars tested had problems.
00:20:50I'm not selling them.
00:20:54Security, hold him.
00:20:55Call the police.
00:20:57Let me go.
00:20:58You can't hold me here.
00:21:00I'm going to sue you.
00:21:01Take him to the back.
00:21:02Mr. Brooks, thank you so much.
00:21:04Without your warning, we could have lost $10 million today.
00:21:07Pay him right away.
00:21:08We'll buy all Mr. Brooks' gold.
00:21:10Pay him today's highest rate.
00:21:13Also, give him another $100,000 as thanks.
00:21:16Yes, ma'am.
00:21:22$600,000?
00:21:24All mine.
00:21:29Mr. Brooks, you have a keen eye.
00:21:32Whenever you're free, could you visit Weston Holdings HQ
00:21:34and help me assess some antiques and jade pieces?
00:21:37I'll pay you the top consulting rate.
00:21:39You'll be well compensated.
00:21:41So she's the owner of the city's top firm, Weston Holdings.
00:21:46You're too kind, Miss Weston.
00:21:47I've got too much to deal with at home.
00:21:49I can't spare the time right now.
00:21:51Of course.
00:21:52Go ahead.
00:21:53You're always welcome at Weston Holdings.
00:21:57Starting today, I'll give my family the life they deserve.
00:22:02I've got a feeling that man will rise so high,
00:22:05none of us will be in his league.
00:22:08The latest kid's smartwatch.
00:22:10A learning tablet, a backpack, and clothes for a child.
00:22:13Only the best.
00:22:14They're for my grandson.
00:22:16Make it quick.
00:22:20Just use your own size.
00:22:21Pick three outfits.
00:22:22Lily's been through so much.
00:22:24From now on, I'll make it up to her.
00:22:29I'll be going between town and the village.
00:22:32Buses won't cut it.
00:22:34This motorcycle, I'll take it.
00:22:37Sir, you look very sharp in that suit.
00:22:43This watch isn't flashy, but it makes quite an impression.
00:22:52I'll take them all.
00:22:55I'm not buying all this to show off.
00:22:58I want everyone who mistreated my family to know,
00:23:01from this day forward,
00:23:03Martin Brooks is no longer an old man they can walk all over.
00:23:10I need $20,000 cash.
00:23:16Mr. Brooks, here's your money.
00:23:20Thanks.
00:23:30Gloria Brooks, quit playing dead.
00:23:32Yesterday, you snuck out to give that broke old fool money, didn't you?
00:23:35He's my own brother.
00:23:37He lent us $5,000 to buy this house.
00:23:39He's having a hard time now.
00:23:41Why can't I give him a few hundred dollars?
00:23:43You're giving my money to that beggar of a brother.
00:23:45Are you asking for trouble?
00:23:51Derek Lake, lay a hand on my sister, I dare you.
00:23:56You old bum.
00:23:57How dare you show up?
00:23:59You're not welcome in my house.
00:24:04Is that really Martin Brooks?
00:24:11Gloria, you tried to give me money before.
00:24:14Now, I'm giving you twice as much.
00:24:15Who knows if it's even real?
00:24:17Quit pretending you're rich.
00:24:19That's so much money.
00:24:21Martin, but you never took my money.
00:24:24And now you're giving me all this.
00:24:26What's it for?
00:24:27You've helped me so much over the years, I haven't forgotten.
00:24:30You deserve this.
00:24:32Martin, it was just a misunderstanding.
00:24:34We're family, after all.
00:24:35Wait, did you really strike it rich?
00:24:38Just made a little money.
00:24:40Martin, don't forget your brother-in-law.
00:24:42Now that you're rich, help me out.
00:24:46You want me to make you rich?
00:24:48Then show me some sincerity.
00:24:49Let me make this clear.
00:24:52If I ever catch you insulting Gloria again, or laying a finger on her, you'll wish you hadn't.
00:24:59Got it?
00:25:01Got it.
00:25:02Don't worry, Martin.
00:25:03From now on, I'll treat Gloria like royalty.
00:25:06It won't happen again, I swear.
00:25:10Gloria, keep this money for yourself.
00:25:12Call me whenever you need me.
00:25:14I'll always have your back.
00:25:18Martin, you've really changed.
00:25:20I used to be such a pushover, and I let you suffer because of it.
00:25:23But from now on, things will be different.
00:25:29Grandpa, what are you doing here?
00:25:31Be good, Andy.
00:25:33I've missed you too.
00:25:34Look, look what Grandpa got you.
00:25:38A brand new backpack!
00:25:39And a smartwatch that makes calls!
00:25:41I was the only kid in class without one.
00:25:44Now I won't have to borrow one.
00:25:45Grandpa, so now I can call you in secret.
00:25:49Of course!
00:25:50Every time you like.
00:25:51Just tell Grandpa if you need anything.
00:25:53I'll buy it for you.
00:25:54Who said you could visit Andy?
00:25:55Get lost!
00:25:56Michelle, I just came to see Andy.
00:25:58That's all.
00:25:59Look!
00:26:00Mother!
00:26:00Grandpa bought me all this!
00:26:01A tablet and new clothes!
00:26:03What is this junk $100?
00:26:04For all we know, he stole it.
00:26:07Let's go.
00:26:07We're going home.
00:26:08Never speak to that broke loser again.
00:26:10Grandpa!
00:26:11I want Grandpa!
00:26:12Andy.
00:26:20Andy.
00:26:21Trust me, Andy.
00:26:22One day, I won't have to sneak around just to see you.
00:26:41Lily, what's wrong?
00:26:43Did that brute Nick harass you again?
00:26:46I went back for my things today.
00:26:48But they locked me out.
00:26:49They wouldn't even let me in.
00:26:51They said now that we're divorced, everything belongs to the Bennets.
00:26:54They wouldn't let me take a thing.
00:26:55They even kept the jade bracelet.
00:26:58My mother left me before she died.
00:27:01It wasn't beating you enough!
00:27:02Now they're even taking your mother's last keepsake!
00:27:05Lily, don't cry.
00:27:07I'll go with you and we'll get it all back.
00:27:09Let's see who dares stop us.
00:27:12Father, maybe divorcing him was a mistake.
00:27:18Sweetheart, why would you think that?
00:27:20I have no savings and you have no steady income.
00:27:23How will we make ends meet?
00:27:25If I become a burden in your old age, I'd rather go back and put up with them.
00:27:32Sweetheart, you've suffered for years and you're worried about burdening me.
00:27:37I was too weak back then.
00:27:39I couldn't protect you.
00:27:43It's different now.
00:27:44I can take care of you and myself too.
00:27:48No one's ever going to force us to live in misery again.
00:27:59Lily, look.
00:28:06Father, all this?
00:28:08Did you buy it all?
00:28:10Where did you get the money?
00:28:13Lily, I've figured out how to make money.
00:28:16You don't have to worry anymore.
00:28:17Just focus on enjoying your life.
00:28:19Is this all real?
00:28:20It is as real as it gets.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:23Let's head to Nick's.
00:28:24We'll get all your things back.
00:28:27I was in a rush last time.
00:28:29This time, I want to properly thank Mr. Brooks.
00:28:31Go find out where Mr. Brooks lives.
00:28:34Understood.
00:28:40Lily's already been kicked out.
00:28:42What are you two doing back?
00:28:44Haven't you embarrassed yourselves yet?
00:28:47Enough.
00:28:48We're here for Lily's clothes, her ID, her payroll card, and her mother's jade bracelet.
00:28:52Those are her personal belongings.
00:28:54The Bennets have no right to keep them.
00:28:56I'm not handing a thing over.
00:28:58She ate my food and lived under my roof for years.
00:29:01Everything she brought here is ours now to cover the cost.
00:29:05My ID and bank card belong to me.
00:29:07My mother left me that bracelet.
00:29:08Why can't I have them back?
00:29:09Why?
00:29:10Because you're nothing but the Bennets cast off.
00:29:13Today, you're handing over every last thing she owns in perfect condition.
00:29:17If anything's missing, you'll answer to me.
00:29:23Miss Weston, I tracked him down.
00:29:26Mr. Brooks is the father of our driver, Nick Bennett's ex-wife.
00:29:29He's at Nick's place right now.
00:29:30So that's how they're connected.
00:29:32Let's go.
00:29:33So, we'll stop by Nick's place and thank Mr. Brooks in person.
00:29:36Old geezer, you think you're some big shot.
00:29:41You wanted this junk, right?
00:29:43Then come get it.
00:29:45My suitcase.
00:29:46Since when is it yours?
00:29:48It's the Bennets.
00:29:49I can smash it if I want.
00:29:51Give back her ID and her jade bracelet.
00:29:54You want them?
00:29:55Then watch me burn them.
00:30:01No.
00:30:02Those are my clothes.
00:30:04That's right.
00:30:05Burn it.
00:30:06Burn them all.
00:30:07That'll stop this jinx from mooching off our family.
00:30:09That's the keepsake my mother left me.
00:30:11Give it back.
00:30:13Please.
00:30:14Give it back.
00:30:17Even after the divorce, you still want to take our stuff.
00:30:20I'd rather smash it than give it to you.
00:30:22You monster!
00:30:24Don't you dare.
00:30:27Stop!
00:30:30Who are you?
00:30:31This is family business.
00:30:33Who asked you to get involved?
00:30:34Boss, you...
00:30:36What brings you all the way to our little village?
00:30:39Oh my.
00:30:40So you're Nick's boss.
00:30:42Please, come inside.
00:30:44It was just a family misunderstanding.
00:30:46Sorry you had to witness that.
00:30:47Miss Weston, please don't misunderstand.
00:30:49It's just my ex-wife.
00:30:50She brought her dirt-poor father here to cause a scene.
00:30:53They're trying to grab our money and our things.
00:30:54Don't worry.
00:30:55I'll handle this right now.
00:30:56You old geezer.
00:30:57Stop embarrassing me in front of my boss.
00:30:59Get lost.
00:31:00That's not true.
00:31:02Those things belong to me.
00:31:04My mother left me that jade bracelet.
00:31:06They took it and won't return it.
00:31:07They even burned my clothes.
00:31:10All we came here for was to get back my daughter's things.
00:31:12Divorce doesn't mean she loses the right to her belongings.
00:31:15Miss Weston, don't believe him.
00:31:16He's making it all up.
00:31:17She wants a divorce to grab my family's property.
00:31:19And her father is just a broke old country freeloader.
00:31:22Miss Weston, did you come all this way with an assignment for me?
00:31:25Someone from your village helped me spot fake gold today.
00:31:32I know everyone in this village.
00:31:34I can show you the way.
00:31:35No need.
00:31:36I've already found the man I came to see.
00:31:38Found him?
00:31:40Who exactly are you looking for?
00:31:44Mr. Brooks, I finally found you.
00:31:46I came today just to thank you.
00:31:48Boss!
00:31:49Are you saying he's the one who saved you?
00:31:52That's right.
00:31:53The man you called a bum is the very man who saved my jewelry store from a $10 million loss.
00:32:00Miss Weston, you're joking, right?
00:32:03He's just a penniless old man.
00:32:05How could he possibly help you recover $10 million?
00:32:08Hand everything over.
00:32:09Miss Weston, this is a family matter.
00:32:12Even judges can't settle family feuds.
00:32:14You don't need to get involved.
00:32:16A family matter?
00:32:17I heard every word from outside that door.
00:32:20Withholding her I, D, taking her pay card, burning her clothes, and trying to smash her late mother's bangle.
00:32:26That's not a family dispute.
00:32:27It's theft.
00:32:28Return everything now, or I'll call the police.
00:32:31Let them decide if that's a family matter.
00:32:35I'll give it back.
00:32:37I'll give it back.
00:32:42Martin, here are your things.
00:32:50An antique worth $200,000?
00:32:53It was Susan's bracelet.
00:32:55It's priceless to me.
00:33:00Mother.
00:33:01Take your things.
00:33:02Go.
00:33:03Now.
00:33:03And stop making a scene in our house.
00:33:06Leo, call 911.
00:33:08Tell them someone here is illegally withholding her property.
00:33:10Yes, Miss Weston.
00:33:17Enough!
00:33:18Are you trying to ruin me?
00:33:20Get the rest of her things.
00:33:21Now.
00:33:22Move it.
00:33:28Lily.
00:33:29Check every item.
00:33:31Make sure nothing is missing.
00:33:35My jewelry store has no place for a man as vile as you.
00:33:39A wife beater.
00:33:40Nick.
00:33:41Effective immediately.
00:33:43You're fired.
00:33:46Miss Weston.
00:33:47Miss Weston.
00:33:48I'm sorry.
00:33:49Please.
00:33:49Give me one more chance.
00:33:53I can't lose this job.
00:33:56Someone as cruel as you has no place in my store.
00:33:59I'd feel dirty just letting you stay.
00:34:01Martin.
00:34:02Miss Brooks.
00:34:03Let's go.
00:34:09Miss Brooks.
00:34:10Don't be shy.
00:34:11Your father did me a huge favor.
00:34:13Dinner's the least I can do.
00:34:15Just relax.
00:34:16I saw how organized you were while checking those belongings.
00:34:19You're honest and dependable.
00:34:21If you're interested, would you consider working at my jewelry store?
00:34:24Working at your jewelry store?
00:34:26Do you think I could?
00:34:27You can start in sales, and I'll pay you the same as any regular employee.
00:34:31I won't shortchange you.
00:34:32If you're willing to learn, I'll help you grow in the role.
00:34:35Thank you, Miss Weston.
00:34:36I'll do my best.
00:34:39Thank you, Miss Weston.
00:34:40For giving my daughter this chance.
00:34:46Careful.
00:34:47You'll hurt the baby.
00:34:58Is that...
00:35:00Michelle?
00:35:03Michelle?
00:35:05Why is she so close to another man?
00:35:08And why is that man touching her belly?
00:35:12Whose baby is she carrying?
00:35:15Martin, what's wrong?
00:35:17You look pale.
00:35:18Are you feeling unwell?
00:35:20I'm fine, Miss Weston.
00:35:21I thought I saw someone I knew.
00:35:23I must have been mistaken.
00:35:24We're right near Antique Avenue.
00:35:26Martin, you have a keen eye for antiques.
00:35:28Why not take a look around?
00:35:29Sounds good.
00:35:30Take a good look.
00:35:31This is genuine Imperial Ching porcelain.
00:35:33You won't find another like it.
00:35:39Martin, see anything you like.
00:35:42Excuse me.
00:35:43This incense burner caught my eye.
00:35:45How much is it?
00:35:46You've got a good eye, sir.
00:35:47This is a family heirloom.
00:35:48The price is firm.
00:35:49$20.
00:35:50$20 for this junk?
00:35:52What a ripoff.
00:35:53Fine.
00:35:53$20.
00:35:54I'll take it.
00:35:55What a sucker.
00:35:56Even a junk dealer wouldn't fetch even $2.
00:35:58And he just paid $20.
00:36:00Father, why'd you buy that?
00:36:01He's obviously ripping you off.
00:36:05Sir, may I see that incense burner?
00:36:12It's made of fine bronze with a naturally aged patina.
00:36:15And the markings inside the burner show no signs of later repairs.
00:36:18This isn't just any incense burner.
00:36:20It's a rare Xuande-era bronze burner from the Ming Dynasty.
00:36:23It's exceptionally well preserved.
00:36:24It's worth at least $10,000.
00:36:27$10,000?
00:36:28$10,000?
00:36:29I'm not selling it.
00:36:31I'm taking it back.
00:36:32Give it back.
00:36:33You got your money.
00:36:34The sale is final.
00:36:35You know how the antique trade works.
00:36:39Martin, you've got a remarkable eye.
00:36:43Remember the antiques consultant, position I offered you.
00:36:47Would you reconsider?
00:36:48Ms. Weston, you helped Lily a great deal today and saved my late wife's bracelet.
00:36:52I can never thank you enough.
00:36:54I owe you for that.
00:36:55Ms. Weston, I'm honored by your offer.
00:36:57I accept.
00:37:02Is this Matthew Brooks' family?
00:37:04Your son was badly injured in a crash on his way home.
00:37:06He's critical at City Hospital.
00:37:07Come quick.
00:37:13Grandpa!
00:37:14Daddy was bleeding so much!
00:37:17I'm scared!
00:37:18Don't be afraid, Andy.
00:37:20Daddy's going to be okay.
00:37:21He'll be okay.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26Find out about...
00:37:27Matthew's employer paid accident insurance.
00:37:29What's the maximum payout?
00:37:31That reckless driver must pay every last cent.
00:37:35I won't take a cent less.
00:37:36Michelle!
00:37:37He's still in surgery.
00:37:39We don't know if he'll survive.
00:37:40And all you can think about is money?
00:37:42Are you even human?
00:37:44Why are you yelling at me?
00:37:46If something happens to Matthew, how will Andy and I survive?
00:37:50If I don't figure this out now, are we supposed to count on a broke old man from the country?
00:37:59Are you Matthew Brooks' family?
00:38:01Me!
00:38:02I'm his father!
00:38:03Our investigation shows it was a straightforward traffic accident.
00:38:08Matthew was driving when a heavy truck driven by a truck rear-ended him.
00:38:12His car lost control and rolled over.
00:38:20I'm sorry.
00:38:22His injuries were too severe.
00:38:23We couldn't save him.
00:38:25He has been pronounced dead.
00:38:26I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:32Matthew.
00:38:34My boy.
00:38:37Daddy!
00:38:38Daddy!
00:38:38I want daddy!
00:38:41Mommy!
00:38:42I want daddy!
00:38:46So Michelle really was cheating!
00:38:48Matthew just died, and she's already after his money.
00:38:51That woman.
00:38:56Leave Matthew's funeral.
00:38:58Arrangements to me.
00:38:59No one will cash in on my son's death.
00:39:03I won't allow it.
00:39:08Matthew, how could you leave us like this?
00:39:11Daddy!
00:39:17Mr. Pierce, I've already obtained Matthew's death certificate.
00:39:21His final paycheck and the company insurance payout need to be transferred to my bank account right away.
00:39:27Michelle!
00:39:28My brother hasn't even been buried, and all you care about is money.
00:39:34I'm his legal wife.
00:39:37All the compensation money, insurance proceeds, and inheritance are mine to handle.
00:39:43Including Andy's share.
00:39:45I have to manage it as his biological mother.
00:39:48Andy's money must be set aside just for him.
00:39:52No one can touch it.
00:39:54You old fool.
00:39:56Andy is my own flesh and blood.
00:39:58I'll make all the decisions.
00:40:00You're an outsider.
00:40:01Stay out of it.
00:40:04Father, don't do anything rash.
00:40:06She's Andy's sole guardian now.
00:40:09You'll lose if you take him by force.
00:40:16Right.
00:40:16I can't let my anger drive me to take Andy by force.
00:40:19I need hard evidence of Michelle's affair, so she loses custody of Andy.
00:40:25Matthew, don't worry.
00:40:27Even if it costs me my life, I won't let that wicked woman get her hands on your hard-earned
00:40:31money.
00:40:31And I won't let her ruin Andy.
00:40:36Miss Weston, could you do me a favor?
00:40:39Find out who owns this Mercedes.
00:40:41I want to know who it is.
00:40:43Don't worry, Martin.
00:40:44Leave it to me.
00:40:49I found him.
00:40:51The owner is Brandon Carter.
00:40:52He's Michelle Reed's immediate supervisor.
00:40:54He's married.
00:40:55They're rumored to be having an affair.
00:40:57Just as I suspected.
00:40:59That shameless pair got my son killed.
00:41:02And now they're after his payout.
00:41:04I won't let her get away with it.
00:41:18That brat of yours.
00:41:19When will you get rid of him?
00:41:21You've always got that kid with you.
00:41:23What's the point?
00:41:25Why the hurry, Matthew?
00:41:27You just died.
00:41:28We have to collect Matthew's accident compensation, his payout, and Andy's share first.
00:41:33Once that money comes in, I'll dump that little brat on his grandpa back in the country.
00:41:39Then we'll take the money and vanish.
00:41:53Hello, Andy.
00:41:56Grandpa, I'm starving.
00:41:59There's no food in the house.
00:42:01Mom locked me inside all alone.
00:42:04I can't open the door.
00:42:06I can't get through to her.
00:42:07Please come get me, Grandpa.
00:42:11Don't be scared, Andy.
00:42:14Grandpa's coming right away.
00:42:32If I tip them off, Andy could be in even more danger.
00:42:46Grandpa.
00:42:50Everyone, come see.
00:42:51This shameless old man is harassing me and my boy again.
00:42:54You never saw Matthew when he was alive.
00:42:56Now he's dead, and they've been paid, so you finally show up.
00:42:59You're after his money, aren't you?
00:43:01Dream on.
00:43:01Michelle, quit pretending.
00:43:04Brandon Carter, you know him, don't you?
00:43:06Brandon Carter, what are you saying?
00:43:09Watch your mouth, old man.
00:43:13Fine, then.
00:43:15I'll see you in court.
00:43:16Let's see who ends up disgraced.
00:43:20Brandon, don't worry.
00:43:22Matthew's death certificate is ready.
00:43:23Tomorrow, I'll have the insurance and compensation sent to my personal account.
00:43:28I won't give a penny to that old fool or the brat.
00:43:33Counselor, here's the evidence.
00:43:35This woman didn't just cheat on my son.
00:43:38She and her lover were planning to steal every cent meant for Andy.
00:43:43I want to sue her.
00:43:44I want to win custody of Andy.
00:43:46Martin, I understand how you feel.
00:43:49But under the law, Michelle is Andy's biological mother.
00:43:53She has legal guardianship.
00:43:54As his grandfather, you can't simply take custody away from her.
00:43:58Then what can I do?
00:44:00Am I supposed to just watch while Andy suffers at those monsters' hands?
00:44:05We'd need proof Michelle abused Andy, threatened him, seriously neglected her duties, or violated Andy's property rights.
00:44:13Only then could we seek to revoke or change her guardianship.
00:44:17Given Andy's ongoing fear, his forced isolation from family, and that recording of her plotting to take his money, we
00:44:24can ask the court for temporary custody and protective measures.
00:44:28Most importantly, Matthew's estate, the crash compensation, and the insurance shares must be protected by court order before Michelle moves
00:44:36the money.
00:44:36There's something else.
00:44:37When deciding custody, the court will examine both sides' finances and living conditions.
00:44:44Finances?
00:44:45So you're saying I have to be wealthier than Michelle and Brandon and give Andy a better home before the
00:44:51court will grant custody?
00:44:54Matthew, I couldn't protect you.
00:44:59But even if it costs me my life, I'll never let Andy fall into those monsters' hands.
00:45:16Martin, don't worry.
00:45:18As for all this gold, I'll pay the highest market price for every last bar.
00:45:22That's 50 million dollars.
00:45:24You'll have the money in five minutes.
00:45:25I heard what happened to Andy.
00:45:27I'll send someone to help you find a home in a top school district.
00:45:30I'll also put you in touch with the best investigators.
00:45:33We can't let those two get away with it.
00:45:35Miss Weston, I can't thank you enough.
00:45:38Counselor, the money, the house, the evidence, it's all here.
00:45:43File a lawsuit against Michelle as soon as possible.
00:45:49Understood.
00:45:50I'll file the requests right away.
00:45:52Temporary custody, a change of guardianship, and asset preservation.
00:46:00Court papers.
00:46:06That broke old fool, Martin Brooks, actually dared to sue me.
00:46:12Everyone, come and see.
00:46:14That old fool, Martin Brooks, is picking on a widow.
00:46:17Matthew's barely in his grave.
00:46:18And that broke old man wants to take Andy away from me.
00:46:21He even wants to grab my husband's death benefits.
00:46:24You old fool, you've got some nerve.
00:46:26You even sent a legal notice.
00:46:28I'm warning you.
00:46:29Withdraw those temporary custody and asset freeze requests right now.
00:46:32Or else, I'll make sure you can't stay in this city.
00:46:36Have you no shame?
00:46:37My brother just died.
00:46:39And you two have the nerve to come here and cause a scene?
00:46:41You nasty witch.
00:46:43Get out.
00:46:47It's broken.
00:46:49It's broken.
00:46:52I warned you.
00:46:53The money Matthew left for Andy.
00:46:55Not one of you crooks will lay a finger on it.
00:46:57Folks, you be the judge.
00:46:59You think raising a child alone is easy?
00:47:02He's trying to drive me and my boy to our graves.
00:47:07You want to hear the truth?
00:47:10Fine.
00:47:10Then listen to what this so-called good mother has been up to.
00:47:15Once we get Matthew's compensation, we'll dump the little brat on Martin.
00:47:19Don't worry.
00:47:20Once it's in my account, nobody can take it away.
00:47:25What a disgrace.
00:47:26Her husband just died and she had a lover.
00:47:27And she wants to steal her son's money.
00:47:31That's not true.
00:47:32He faked that recording.
00:47:34It's not real.
00:47:36You old fool.
00:47:38Give me the phone.
00:47:39Hand it over.
00:47:41Settle down.
00:47:43We got a report of someone causing a disturbance.
00:47:44Take him in.
00:47:46Martin, don't get cocky.
00:47:48I'm Andy's own mother and I'm pregnant.
00:47:50You can't just take him away.
00:47:55Whether you're fit to be his mother is for the court to decide.
00:48:04No.
00:48:04They can't freeze that money.
00:48:06I've got to act fast.
00:48:07Before the court rules, I'll take Andy to sign at the insurance office.
00:48:13I'm not going.
00:48:15Daddy's money isn't for Uncle Brandon.
00:48:17I want Grandpa.
00:48:19I want Grandpa.
00:48:22Shut up.
00:48:24Say one more word and I'll sell you off in the mountains.
00:48:27You'll never see your Grandpa again.
00:48:33I'm Matthew's widow.
00:48:35That old fool Martin is trying to steal my son's money.
00:48:38Transfer every last payment, including Andy's share, directly into my personal account.
00:48:44Now.
00:48:45I'm sorry, Ms. Reed.
00:48:47Our records show the payout is subject to a court application for asset preservation.
00:48:51So, for now, it's on hold.
00:48:53We can't pay it into your account.
00:48:57What gives you the right?
00:48:59I'm his wife.
00:49:00That money belongs to me.
00:49:01Are you working with Martin Brooks to rob a widow and her child?
00:49:06Michelle!
00:49:07Stop embarrassing yourself!
00:49:11Hello.
00:49:12I'm Mr. Brooks' attorney.
00:49:14Here's the court order.
00:49:16We're asking you to protect Andy's share of the payout in a separate account.
00:49:20None of it can go into an account held by Michelle Reed.
00:49:23Who do you think you are?
00:49:25You're an outsider.
00:49:27Stay out of our money.
00:49:34Grandpa, Mommy hit me.
00:49:37And she called that bad man and said now Daddy's gone, she'll get lots of money.
00:49:44You little brat.
00:49:46I'll beat you to death.
00:49:56Pull the lobby security footage now.
00:49:58Use video of Michelle threatening Andy in public and striking him as further evidence.
00:50:02Submit it to the court to review her guardianship.
00:50:07The courts issued an interim order.
00:50:10Andy will stay with Martin for now.
00:50:12Michelle can't take Andy without permission.
00:50:14The payments are on hold for now.
00:50:25Mom, don't hit me.
00:50:26I won't say anything.
00:50:28I won't say a word.
00:50:29Don't be scared, Andy.
00:50:31Grandpa's here.
00:50:32I'll protect you.
00:50:33No one's taking you away.
00:50:52Your Honor, I just lost my husband.
00:50:56My son and I have suffered enough.
00:50:58Martin is just using his dirty money to forcibly take my child away.
00:51:02And he wants to steal my husband's insurance money.
00:51:05Your Honor, here is a video of Michelle's affair.
00:51:08Audio of her and her lover conspiring to steal Andy's assets.
00:51:11Photos of her smashing Andy's smartwatch to cut off his contact with family.
00:51:15Testimony from his teacher proving her false claims.
00:51:18And insurance company footage showing her trying to hit him.
00:51:21That's taken out of context.
00:51:22Brandon is just a regular friend.
00:51:24I leaned on his shoulder.
00:51:25So what?
00:51:25That recording, it's fake.
00:51:30Just friends?
00:51:32Then what are these?
00:51:34Your Honor, I'm Brandon's lawful wife.
00:51:37These are Michelle and my husband's six months of explicit texts,
00:51:41huge bank transfers,
00:51:43and hundreds of dollars in hotel bookings.
00:51:45My husband confessed everything.
00:51:47He doesn't want to support Michelle,
00:51:49let alone her deadweight son.
00:51:51They only got together to steal the insurance money Matthew left behind.
00:51:58Lies!
00:51:59It's all lies!
00:52:01You're ganging up on me!
00:52:08Andy, do you want to live with Mom or Grandpa?
00:52:11I want to live with Grandpa,
00:52:13because he doesn't yell at me or hit me.
00:52:16And he'd never take the money Dad gave his life for
00:52:19and spend it on bad guys.
00:52:28This court will consider Michelle's fitness as a guardian,
00:52:31the child's true wishes,
00:52:32and the risk of asset misappropriation.
00:52:34A final ruling will be made at a later date.
00:52:39Your Honor,
00:52:40even if my personal conduct is flawed,
00:52:42Martin Brooks is just a miserable old man from the country.
00:52:45He has no steady income,
00:52:47not even a pension.
00:52:49How can he raise Andy?
00:52:51Giving him to a pauper like him
00:52:52will ruin the boy's life.
00:52:54Your Honor,
00:52:55I'd like to submit additional evidence.
00:52:58Your Honor,
00:52:59here are the property deeds currently under Mr. Brooks' name,
00:53:02purchased in full.
00:53:03Hundreds of millions in legal gold trading records.
00:53:06And a million-dollar antique consultant contract.
00:53:10Additionally,
00:53:10Mr. Brooks has used his personal funds
00:53:13to set up an exclusive $10 million education trust for Andy.
00:53:17Impossible!
00:53:18Where did he get that much money?
00:53:19It's all fake!
00:53:22Your Honor,
00:53:23I'm the chairman of Blue Crest Jewelers.
00:53:25I'm willing to testify.
00:53:27Mr. Brooks is our chief antique consultant.
00:53:30His income is legitimate,
00:53:32and his character is impeccable,
00:53:34and is fully capable of providing Andy
00:53:36with the best education and care.
00:53:38To save Andy,
00:53:39my dad sold everything overnight,
00:53:41even our ancestral home.
00:53:43Even facing bankruptcy,
00:53:43he never thought about touching even $0.01 my brother left.
00:53:48Unlike some people,
00:53:49who only care about blood money.
00:53:50Your Honor,
00:53:51I'm Andy's biological mother!
00:53:53Blood is thicker than water!
00:53:55You can't tear us apart!
00:53:58I never intended to stop Andy from seeing,
00:54:01but I will never allow
00:54:03you to use him as an ATM
00:54:05or abuse
00:54:07and trample on him.
00:54:09The court finds that the respondent,
00:54:12Michelle Reed,
00:54:12has severely infringed upon the minor's well-being
00:54:15and financial rights.
00:54:16It is hereby ordered,
00:54:17that the guardianship of Michelle Reed be revoked.
00:54:20Martin Brooks is appointed
00:54:21as Andy Brooks' legal guardian.
00:54:24Andy's share of Matthew Brooks' estate
00:54:26and settlement
00:54:27will be fully transferred
00:54:29to a dedicated trust account.
00:54:30It can only be used for his medical,
00:54:33educational,
00:54:33and living needs.
00:54:34Any major expenditures
00:54:35must be documented.
00:54:37Michelle Reed may not withdraw
00:54:39or misappropriate a single cent.
00:54:41No!
00:54:42My money!
00:54:46Andy, come take a look
00:54:47at the room your aunt set up for you.
00:54:49Do you like it?
00:54:49Grandpa,
00:54:50is all this for me?
00:54:52Of course it is.
00:54:54From now on,
00:54:56this is your home.
00:54:57Grandpa,
00:54:59does this mean
00:55:01I don't have to call you
00:55:03Grandpa in secret anymore?
00:55:05You don't.
00:55:06Call me whenever you want.
00:55:08Hug me whenever you want.
00:55:10I promise you,
00:55:12no one will ever
00:55:13take you away from me again.
00:55:15Brandon!
00:55:16I have nothing left.
00:55:19I lost custody
00:55:20and the insurance money
00:55:22is frozen.
00:55:23You can't leave me!
00:55:26Get lost.
00:55:27You didn't get a single cent
00:55:29and you're buried in lawsuits.
00:55:31I'm not going down with you.
00:55:36Dad,
00:55:37I was wrong.
00:55:38I know I was wrong.
00:55:40Please let me see Andy.
00:55:42I'm his mother.
00:55:45Andy,
00:55:46Mommy was wrong.
00:55:48Let Mommy hug you,
00:55:50okay?
00:55:51Michelle,
00:55:52now you know you're wrong?
00:55:54It's too late.
00:55:55The court order
00:55:56states it clearly.
00:55:57Visitations must follow the rules
00:55:59and be requested in advance.
00:56:01Today,
00:56:01you won't step a foot inside.
00:56:04From now on,
00:56:05don't you dare hurt the child.
00:56:06Not even a single hair.
00:56:13Are you out of your mind?
00:56:15A housewife like you
00:56:16opening a shop?
00:56:17The tens of thousands
00:56:18of dollars in here
00:56:18is my lifeblood.
00:56:19You want to just
00:56:20throw it away?
00:56:21Derek,
00:56:22you know my steamed buns.
00:56:23You know how good
00:56:24my stallion pancakes are.
00:56:25That breakfast place
00:56:26by the school
00:56:26is for sale.
00:56:27It's a great location.
00:56:28I want to take it over.
00:56:29Not only will I make money,
00:56:30I won't have to take
00:56:31your crap every day.
00:56:33So what if you take my crap?
00:56:35You live off me.
00:56:36You belong here
00:56:37serving me.
00:56:37Wasting my money?
00:56:39No way.
00:56:39I call the shots here.
00:56:43Oh,
00:56:44Martin's here.
00:56:45Just in time.
00:56:46Talk some sense
00:56:47into your sister
00:56:47dreaming of opening a shop.
00:56:49She's crazy.
00:56:52Gloria,
00:56:53about opening the shop,
00:56:54have you really
00:56:55thought it through?
00:56:56It's not just an impulse?
00:56:59I have.
00:57:01These are my notes
00:57:02from scouting locations
00:57:02for two weeks.
00:57:04Which spots get
00:57:04the most traffic,
00:57:05the transfer fees,
00:57:06the cost of buns
00:57:07and soy milk
00:57:08and the profit margins.
00:57:09I wrote it all down.
00:57:10I can wake up early
00:57:11and I can work hard.
00:57:13I know I can do this.
00:57:14Good.
00:57:15This is no joke.
00:57:16This is a real business.
00:57:18A real business.
00:57:20Martin,
00:57:21easy for you to say.
00:57:23She has no money.
00:57:24Are you paying for it?
00:57:26You're right.
00:57:27The money for Gloria's shop.
00:57:28I'll cover it all.
00:57:32You really struck it rich, Martin.
00:57:34Since you're paying,
00:57:36when it makes money,
00:57:39how do we split it?
00:57:41Shouldn't I handle the books?
00:57:43Listen here.
00:57:44This shop will be
00:57:45in Gloria's name.
00:57:46The profits
00:57:47are all hers to manage.
00:57:49If you won't support her,
00:57:50fine.
00:57:51But don't get in her way.
00:57:56Ma'am,
00:57:56look at this location.
00:57:58See all this morning foot traffic?
00:57:59If my son wasn't moving me
00:58:00to the city to retire,
00:58:01this shop is an absolute goldmine.
00:58:03Final offer.
00:58:04The transfer fee is $100,000.
00:58:06Non-negotiable.
00:58:07See?
00:58:08I told you women in business
00:58:10are a joke.
00:58:10You haven't even opened yet
00:58:12and you're already
00:58:13getting fleeced.
00:58:14Just go home and cook.
00:58:16Stop embarrassing yourself.
00:58:18Martin,
00:58:18maybe we should pass.
00:58:20$100,000 is too much.
00:58:22Relax.
00:58:23I got this.
00:58:29A goldmine?
00:58:31More like a ticking time bomb.
00:58:33You...
00:58:33What are you saying,
00:58:35old man?
00:58:35The main pipe in this wall
00:58:37is completely rusted.
00:58:38If the pressure spikes,
00:58:39it'll flood the place.
00:58:40And the kitchen wiring,
00:58:42the insulation is burnt.
00:58:44It could catch fire any day.
00:58:46All these hidden issues
00:58:47need to be torn out
00:58:48and redone.
00:58:48Repairs will be at least $30,000.
00:58:50Will you take $70,000?
00:58:52If not,
00:58:53we're leaving.
00:58:54Go scam someone else.
00:58:55You...
00:58:57How did you know all that?
00:58:59Wow.
00:59:00You really know your stuff.
00:59:01$70,000.
00:59:02$70,000 it is.
00:59:04Martin,
00:59:05you're amazing.
00:59:06Since the price is set,
00:59:07let's sign the contract.
00:59:09I'm her husband.
00:59:10Family business
00:59:10should be handled by a man.
00:59:12The legal rep on the contract
00:59:13and the business license
00:59:14and bank account
00:59:15will all be in mining.
00:59:17She's a woman.
00:59:18What does she know about money?
00:59:19I said,
00:59:21I'm opening this for Gloria.
00:59:23The contract,
00:59:24business registration,
00:59:25and bank account
00:59:26will only be in Gloria's name.
00:59:29Martin,
00:59:30what do you mean?
00:59:31Are you trying to ruin our marriage?
00:59:34Gloria lacked confidence before
00:59:36and walked on eggshells around you
00:59:38because no one had her back.
00:59:40Now,
00:59:41this shop
00:59:42is her confidence now.
00:59:44Gloria,
00:59:44go sign your name.
00:59:45This is your own store.
01:00:06Don't miss out.
01:00:07Come and try.
01:00:08These buns are homemade
01:00:10by my great aunts.
01:00:11They're the best.
01:00:12Oh, wow.
01:00:13Hey, boss lady,
01:00:13your buns have such thin skin
01:00:14and so much filling.
01:00:15They're amazing.
01:00:16Give me five more, please.
01:00:16These scallion pancakes smell incredible.
01:00:19I'll take two, please.
01:00:22You got it.
01:00:23Brush out of the pan.
01:00:24Careful.
01:00:25They're hot.
01:00:29Whoa.
01:00:30She actually pulled this off.
01:00:32How much money is she making?
01:00:38Hey, hey, hey.
01:00:40Move faster.
01:00:40Can't you see the customers are waiting?
01:00:42You really can't read the room.
01:00:53No matter how much she makes,
01:00:55in the end,
01:00:55it all ends up in my pocket.
01:01:01Derek,
01:01:02what are you doing?
01:01:03What am I doing?
01:01:05I'm her husband.
01:01:06This is joint property.
01:01:08Her money is my money.
01:01:09So what if I change the QR code?
01:01:15Derek,
01:01:16I told you before.
01:01:17This is my shop.
01:01:18I handle the money.
01:01:19If you want a single cent,
01:01:21dream on.
01:01:21You've got some nerve.
01:01:23You're just a bun seller.
01:01:25Think you're a big shot?
01:01:26I swear,
01:01:28right now,
01:01:28I'll smash this stupid shop
01:01:30and flip these steamers.
01:01:36Touch one chopstick in here
01:01:38and I'll make sure
01:01:39you never step in here again.
01:01:42Just try me.
01:01:43What's wrong with this guy?
01:01:45His wife works so hard
01:01:46and he's just causing trouble.
01:01:48Exactly.
01:01:49What a jerk.
01:01:50Get out.
01:01:51Get out.
01:02:14What do you know?
01:02:15That breakfast shop
01:02:16might be in my wife's name,
01:02:18but she belongs to me.
01:02:20So the shop is mine too.
01:02:21Once it makes money,
01:02:23I'll take all the revenue
01:02:25and join Big Mike
01:02:27for a big investment.
01:02:33Martin,
01:02:35up late
01:02:36checking the books?
01:02:39Derek,
01:02:41come take a look at this.
01:02:42This shop,
01:02:43from the license
01:02:44to the bank account,
01:02:45is completely Gloria's alone.
01:02:47Let me make this clear today.
01:02:49Every cent of profit
01:02:50from this shop,
01:02:51if anyone tries to take it
01:02:53without permission
01:02:53or even thinks about it,
01:02:55we'll treat it
01:02:56as criminal misappropriation
01:02:58and call the police
01:02:59right away.
01:03:02Martin Brooks,
01:03:04don't push me.
01:03:07She is my wife.
01:03:09She thinks she's so tough,
01:03:10disobeying her own man.
01:03:14Derek,
01:03:15listen here.
01:03:17You,
01:03:18from now on,
01:03:20I'll make my own money
01:03:21and run my own shop.
01:03:26If you want to stay here,
01:03:28you'd better drop
01:03:30the macho act.
01:03:35I,
01:03:36I was just talking,
01:03:37that's all.
01:03:42Apologize.
01:03:44Gloria,
01:03:45I'm sorry.
01:03:47Tomorrow,
01:03:47I,
01:03:48I'll help out
01:03:49at the shop
01:03:49and move the flower.
01:03:56Martin,
01:03:57this is the annual invitation
01:03:59to the antique
01:03:59appraisal competition.
01:04:00This event
01:04:01brings together
01:04:02major jewelry shops
01:04:03from all over the country,
01:04:04antique dealers
01:04:05and top collectors.
01:04:06The rules are simple.
01:04:08Whoever finds
01:04:08the most valuable treasure there
01:04:10gets priority access
01:04:11to this year's
01:04:12antique channels.
01:04:13I need your good eye
01:04:14to back me up.
01:04:15If we succeed,
01:04:16I'll give you
01:04:16a million dollars
01:04:17as your cut.
01:04:22Gloria and Andy
01:04:23are all settled now.
01:04:24It's time to meet
01:04:26these so-called elites.
01:04:29All right.
01:04:29Miss Weston,
01:04:31I'll take
01:04:32the job.
01:04:41Oh,
01:04:42wow.
01:04:42Isn't that Miss Weston
01:04:43from Bluecrest Jewelers?
01:04:44So,
01:04:45your company's
01:04:45about to go under,
01:04:46huh?
01:04:46You actually hired
01:04:47some country bumpkin
01:04:48who's never even handled
01:04:49a proper antique
01:04:50to be your consultant?
01:04:51Mr. Hart,
01:04:52never judge a book
01:04:53by its cover.
01:04:53Martin's eye for antiques.
01:04:54I bet all your
01:04:55so-called experts
01:04:56put together
01:04:57still can't measure up
01:04:58to him.
01:05:00You're on.
01:05:05Martin,
01:05:06Samuel Hart
01:05:06has deep pockets
01:05:07and Howard Mason
01:05:08has a sharp eye.
01:05:09We shouldn't rush
01:05:09into this.
01:05:10Don't worry,
01:05:11Miss Weston.
01:05:12Since I took
01:05:12your consulting fee,
01:05:13I won't let you down.
01:05:17All right.
01:05:18You've got guts.
01:05:19Let's make a bet today.
01:05:21The loser
01:05:22has to stand
01:05:23in front of all
01:05:24our peers here
01:05:25and yell,
01:05:26I'm blind,
01:05:26three times.
01:05:27Admitting they're trash.
01:05:30Deal.
01:05:36Mr. Hart,
01:05:37this mid-ching
01:05:37blue and white jar,
01:05:38the clay is fine
01:05:39and the color is pure.
01:05:40It's a rare
01:05:41and absolutely
01:05:42genuine piece.
01:05:44Hey,
01:05:44$8,000.
01:05:45I'll take it.
01:05:46There's a great eye,
01:05:47Mr. Mason.
01:05:48One move
01:05:48and you got
01:05:49an $80,000 treasure.
01:05:51Looks like
01:05:52Bluecrest Jewelers
01:05:53is sure to lose
01:05:54this time.
01:05:56Martin,
01:05:57most of the stuff
01:05:58here is just
01:05:59second-rate junk.
01:06:00Should we check
01:06:01over there instead?
01:06:02Ms. Weston,
01:06:03true gold
01:06:03stands any test.
01:06:05The real treasures
01:06:05are often hidden
01:06:06where nobody looks.
01:06:08Huh?
01:06:09Huh?
01:06:13Huh?
01:06:17Huh?
01:06:18Huh?
01:06:19Huh?
01:06:23Hey, boss,
01:06:24how much for this?
01:06:25That's just an old
01:06:26chunk of copper
01:06:26from the bottom
01:06:27of the box.
01:06:27If you really want it,
01:06:28take it for $300.
01:06:32Martin,
01:06:33this thing.
01:06:35Buy it.
01:06:42Bluecrest Jewelers
01:06:42come look,
01:06:43Bluecrest Jewelers' chief consultant
01:06:45actually spent $300
01:06:47on some scrap metal.
01:06:52Sloan Weston,
01:06:53did you come here today
01:06:54to collect junk?
01:06:56So cheap,
01:06:56over $300?
01:06:58Need a loan?
01:07:02Mr. Hart,
01:07:03in the antique trade,
01:07:05treasures can be cheap.
01:07:06The real shame
01:07:07is being blind
01:07:08and treating trash
01:07:09like treasure.
01:07:11still talking tough.
01:07:13Let's see you cry later.
01:07:19These three together
01:07:21have a market estimate
01:07:22of at least $150,000.
01:07:26hear that?
01:07:28$150,000.
01:07:32Sloan Weston,
01:07:33where's your consultant
01:07:34with his $300
01:07:36chunk of copper?
01:07:37Is he hiding?
01:07:38Afraid to show his face?
01:07:57Excuse me.
01:07:59How much for that box?
01:08:03You want this junk?
01:08:04Yours for $800.
01:08:08Alright,
01:08:09I'll take it.
01:08:16Look here, everyone.
01:08:18$300 for scrap copper
01:08:20and $800 for rotten wood.
01:08:23Sloan Weston,
01:08:24you really opened
01:08:25my eyes today.
01:08:28You should just switch careers
01:08:30and open a junkyard.
01:08:42Martin!
01:08:44Martin!
01:09:00Yes!
01:09:01This is an Everard crown coin, an authentic thousand cash piece, and in pristine condition.
01:09:08The patina is stunning.
01:09:11This ancient coin is worth at least $200,000.
01:09:17$200,000?
01:09:20How is that possible?
01:09:27Facing all this mockery, he remains so calm and poised.
01:09:31This man doesn't just have an incredible eye, but has the presence to stay unfazed even if the sky falls.
01:09:38With Martin here, I feel so secure.
01:09:47Mr. Mason, he can't keep stealing the spotlight.
01:09:50We need to speed up. Find something big to close the gap.
01:09:53Don't worry, Mr. Hart. I'll go now and pick a showstopper.
01:10:06Nice. This glaze. This crackle.
01:10:09It's definitely Song Era Imperial Kilnware. An authentic piece.
01:10:13Good eye, Mr. Mason. No haggling for this.
01:10:16$300,000.
01:10:18$300,000. I'll buy it.
01:10:27Look here, everyone.
01:10:29Song Era Porcelain Vase.
01:10:31$300,000.
01:10:33With this, Sloan Westin, you lose.
01:10:36And yell three times,
01:10:38I'm blind!
01:10:40Martin, that vase really looks flawless.
01:10:43A modern replica.
01:10:44The inside has extensive modern repairs.
01:10:47The base is chemically aged.
01:10:49Market value?
01:10:50Zero.
01:10:51Don't worry, Miss Westin.
01:10:53It's just a worthless modern fake.
01:10:56You!
01:10:57Martin Brooks!
01:10:59Cut!
