Transcript
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.
00:00:14Look 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.
00:01:53And 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 QuickMapple, might arrive early for the expo.
00:02:30Don't worry, babe.
00:02:31I got you.
00:02:33This 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?
00:02:40Did you forget because you were high?
00:02:43I'll get the kind you like next time.
00:02:45We were happy once.
00:02:49But the honeymoon is over.
00:03:00Oh 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.
00:03:11He's the real power.
00:03:13Started QuickMapple as a surf shack in Malibu and grew it into the most important surf brand on earth.
00:03:18Oh no.
00:03:21Oh.
00:03:22I gotta go.
00:03:26No!
00:03:27Dad, 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.
00:04:21Angela!
00:04:26Your leg!
00:04:27It's completely healed!
00:04:30Did you do this?
00:04:31I wish I had healing powers.
00:04:33I 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.
00:04:49She's one hell of a surfer.
00:04:53Hey, Kai.
00:04:55Remember Chad from high school?
00:04:57Oh, how 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 high.
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.
00:05:27Hey, 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.
00:05:51Is it really him?
00:05:53I'd like to see what's under those board shorts.
00:05:57Chad?
00:05:57Hey, boo.
00:05:59I'm in town for the expo.
00:06:00We knew he'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?
00:06:10Duh.
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?
00:06:25No worries.
00:06:27We'll celebrate our anniversary later.
00:06:34So which one is your wife?
00:06:36The 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 me.
00:06:42Yeah?
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.
00:07:26You're cold.
00:07:27I can feel the goosebumps on your skin.
00:07:29Hey, don't sweat quick, maple.
00:07:30I'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.
00:07:39You'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.
00:07:49He'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.
00:08:08You 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.
00:08:24I made dinner.
00:08:25For our anniversary.
00:08:27Our patio's got a better view than any restaurant anyway.
00:08:29Sorry, I 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.
00:08:39It'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?
00:08:53I am sore.
00:08:55I'm going to go in the hot tub.
00:08:56Want some company?
00:08:57No thanks.
00:08:58I'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.
00:09:31But 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.
00:09:40You make custom surfboards.
00:09:43You wear that stupid surfboard necklace.
00:09:46But you can't even surf.
00:09:50That'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.
00:10:17That'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, you've been holding her up.
00:11:14You're a pro surfer, props 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.
00:11:50You 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 she 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.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:32I 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?
00:13:02Taking another man's sloppy seconds?
00:13:05That's beta behavior.
00:13:07I 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.
00:13:23He 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.
00:13:49He 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.
00:14:05No.
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...
00:14:26You'd never be this successful without me.
00:14:28Get real, Duke.
00:14:29I 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.
00:15:23Every 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?
00:15:33It'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?
00:15:54The impossible.
00:15:55Over 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.
00:16:09He'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?
00:16:18That you're trying to ruin her shot at the biggest moment of her career?
00:16:22What are you even doing here anyway?
00:16:23Yeah!
00:16:24Security!
00:16:24Can 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!
00:16:42She did.
00:16:46She really is incredible.
00:16:48Thank her.
00:16:50Thank her.
00:17:01Where is she?
00:17:14No way, bro.
00:17:17It's him.
00:17:18The god of the island!
00:17:25That's right.
00:17:26It's the god of the island.
00:17:42The god of the island is protecting you.
00:17:55Just ride the wave.
00:18:09I think a crab got me!
00:18:11Kai, help me!
00:18:17Duke.
00:18:18You'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...
00:18:33Since Chad is one of your sponsored athletes,
00:18:35his injury would be the priority.
00:18:36And I thought since Duke is your husband,
00:18:38you would at least show an ounce of compassion for him?
00:18:40You 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.
00:18:52This is not the kind of example I want my athletes to set.
00:18:59Mom, it really hurts!
00:19:02Go with him.
00:19:23I'll help him protect everything he has,
00:19:25and 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,
00:20:00a new dress every season,
00:20:01and the whole town at my bowl.
00:20:03Of course.
00:20:04I'll give you all the very best.
00:20:07So the Timberland, the estate, all the money,
00:20:11that's all going to be mine one day too?
00:20:18They 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,
00:20:35and they'll be good to you, I know it.
00:20:37And thank you for giving me the finest children
00:20:40and 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?
00:21:01Thomas, 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.
00:21:33Pay us, pay us, pay us, pay us, pay us.
00:21:39Sir, I just got word from the doctor.
00:21:41Your 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.
00:22:03There 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.
00:22:10Without them, we can't even claim that timber.
00:22:14Who has access to that money?
00:22:16Besides you and your wife?
00:22:18Only Richard, Clara, and Julian.
00:22:22They're my family.
00:22:24They'll help me get to the truth.
00:22:38Richard.
00:22:39You kids are all in town?
00:22:41Good timing.
00:22:42There's serious trouble at the company.
00:22:43No.
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.
00:22:57A 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, you're leaving us the company sooner or later anyway.
00:23:17Step 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.
00:23:28I 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.
00:24:16Go.
00:24:29God almighty, what 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.
00:24:38No one cares if we live or die.
00:24:47Stop.
00:24:50Yes, stop.
00:24:53Well, look who's here.

00:29:11and during last year's blizzard he 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 so will i
00:29:24everyone go home for now we'll meet back here this time tomorrow and hear mr bennett out
00:29:30thank you all 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 their 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 the carriage and 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 this is the man you've been looking for
00:30:27thomas bennett that's him 15 years and i finally found you my long lost partner
00:30:34bring the car around tell our lawyers bank rep and guards we'll leave for bennett timber in 10 minutes
00:30:40but you're meeting with the chairman of the state railroad commission at three
00:30:43he can reschedule
00:30:53i'll see you soon my business partner
00:30:59all eight million from bennett timber's accounts has 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 the company's most important account so fast
00:31:10in a matter of days you'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
00:31:20he's probably sitting in that shabby little office right now
00:31:23waiting for the whole family to come save him
00:31:28he 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
00:31:36he thinks everyone's as saintly as he is
00:31:39well time for saint thomas to pay
00:31:42still 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 and its long-term port contracts
00:31:56meaning
00:31:57the 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
00:32:11they say he's a young handsome gentleman
00:32:13every banker and railroad baron in the city is desperate to win his favor
00:32:17if i use bennett timber to get close to him
00:32:19the 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 three dead oil fields back to life
00:32:45even the banks back east want to invest now
00:32:48partner with us and we'll give your oil and equipment top priority on the rails
00:33:02first of all

00:35:08mr bennett
00:35:09perhaps 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
00:35:21she raised two hundred thousand dollars in one day
00:35:25she did everything she could
00:35:26but we're still five million short

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
00:45:42i just taught them to take what's rightfully theirs
00:45:45so you've been lying to me
00:45:48for 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
00:45:55and go to the finest balls

00:50:27the wages will have to wait
00:50:28wait
00:50:29we only agreed to come out here for our wages
00:50:31in that case
00:50:32don'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
00:50:42to pay your wages
00:50:43you couldn't wait even one day
00:50:45you beat up his mother and his assistant
00:50:47and 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

00:51:28run
00:51:29stay back
00:51:44who are you
00:51:45i've never heard of a wizard with power like this
00:51:48of course you haven't
00:51:49because a year ago
00:51:50i was just a nobody
00:51:55stop
00:51:57no
00:52:20stop
00:52:23Go on.
00:52:34You brought it?
00:52:38Lady Lauren, the seals binding the Warlocks are failing.
00:52:42Even the Dark Lord is on the verge of breaking free. Please, we need you to stop him.
00:52:50Me? No, not this time.
00:52:53But he might be able to help if you become his woman.
00:53:02If it saves the Academy, I'll do anything. I'll marry him right now.
00:53:07Marry? Don't flatter yourself. You'd be lucky if he kept you around as a servant.
00:53:13Jason, 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?
00:53:28Jason, 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...
00:53:52Yes.
00:53:53Yes.
00:53:54She sacrificed her life to protect you. To keep the Warlocks 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?
00:54:15Drink this, and the seal breaks, unleashing all your mana.
00:54:19However, the Warlocks will sense it immediately, and they will come for you.
00:54:24The weak ones can't touch you anymore.
00:54:27But 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.
00:54:46Xurath 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.
00:54:53I will...
00:55:02I will...
00:55:04...
00:55:04...
00:55:06...
00:55:07...
00:55:07...
00:55:08...
00:55:14Impossible.
00:55:15How did he have so much mana?
00:55:1920 years sealed, undone in a breath.
00:55:22Let 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.
00:55:48Wait 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 feel!
00:56:41We're too late. Zorath's already broken the seal. Jason, stay close and stay sharp. Dark magic suppresses my power. I
00:56:48can't fight at full strength here.
00:56:49Ha! The headmaster of the Magic Academy herself! I was just about to come looking for you, and you walked
00:56:57straight 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. I watched your mother take her last breath!
00:57:30Sorry to disappoint. But I'm alive. And you're dying today.
00:57:41Time to join your mother in-
00:57:43Ow!
00:57:45Damn it! The boy's far stronger than I thought. I can't beat him like this. I need my power back
00:57:49for-
00:57:51Running already.
00:58:01That was easier than I expected.
00:58:03One move. He destroyed Zorath with just one move. This shouldn't be possible.
00:58:10Headmaster Graves, I should go. After I say goodbye to my master, I'm heading home. The Warlocks took my mother
00:58:15and countless others.
00:58:17I can't change that. But I can make damn sure they don't take anyone else.
00:58:21Let me take you.
00:58:32Damn him! One 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.
00:58:50And Zorath's undead are already at our borders.
00:58:54Every fighter who can still stand, take up your arms and join me!
00:58:57We hold this land together, or we die defending it.
00:59:02Drive out the Warlocks!
00:59:03Drive out the Warlocks!
00:59:07Relax, Father. I'm a C-Rank wizard.
00:59:10A handful of undead grunts?
00:59:12Please.
00:59:18Father! I want to go too!
00:59:22Huh. Andrew'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.
00:59:43If 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? Go back!
00:59:53We're going to war! Not on some reckless adventure!
00:59:56Father, I'm part of this family too. I want to do my part. I can do this!
01:00:01Don't worry, darling. I'll pass the wizard's exam this time. I want to do my part for this family too.
01:00:08The dark magic ate through her. She 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. Tell him I'm out.
01:00:24My Lord, rumors are floating around the domain. They say you can't stand the sight of young Master Jason.
01:00:32Find whoever started it. Make an example of them.
01:00:39I'm sorry, Jason. I don't want to shut you out, but I just...
01:00:43I can't look you in the face. Not when you look so much like your mother.
01:00:49Jason, wanting to serve this family, that's a good thing.
01:00:52You're getting a little too confident up in that bell tower, aren't you?
01:00:54Don't forget what you are. A reject who can't even hold mana.
01:00:58What are you going to do? Polish the undead to death?
01:01:00Blind them with that broken lamp?
01:01:02Enough, Andrew. Jason is your brother. Watch your mouth.
01:01:06Father, I don't agree. Jason 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. We need a real wizard in battle, not a bell ringer with no mana.
01:01:18Father, I do have a magic weapon. My Master gave me this lantern. I know how to use it.
01:01:24Lorraine gave you that?
01:01:29Strange. It looks like junk, but the inside is shrouded by some kind of magic. I can't make out what
01:01:35it's made of.
01:01:38Jason, this will be a dangerous journey. If you want to see the world, fine.
01:01:43But you must stay by my side at all times. Understood?
01:01:48Yes, Father. I will. I promise.
01:01:51We start tonight. We will patrol the borders in shifts.
01:01:56Andrew, first squad with me.
01:02:00Don't worry, Father. I'll prove myself. Care 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.
01:02:33That's it. Her mana barely registers. She's nothing special.
01:02:37Sure.
01:02:42Legions of the dead.
01:02:43With me!
01:02:47My Lord, the gates will fall at this rate.
01:02:55Father, leave this to me.
01:03:19Father, I don't want to be in the dead.
01:03:19Father, I will not be able to commit to this.
01:03:20Father, if you want to be in the dead.
01:03:26Father, let's get back to him.
01:03:32Everyone, let's talk to me.
01:03:33I may be in the dead.
01:03:33Father, I lost God.
01:03:40See that little reject?
01:03:41That's what real magic looks like.
01:03:49No!
01:03:50Those skeletons aren't finished yet!
01:03:53Stay there!
01:03:55Hang on!
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 warlack can touch us.
01:04:09My lord, with Andrew on our side, what warlack 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.
01:04:23He really has.
01:04:29Andrew!
01:04:30Don't drop your guard!
01:04:32Those skeletons aren't dead!
01:04:41I'm scared of something I can crush under my boot.
01:04:44Born 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 manna now!
01:05:05So one of you has a brain after all.
01:05:08Shame it's already too late.
01:05:13God, did you hear that?
01:05:15The reject's giving knee 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 Gavill.
01:05:39Don'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 Gavin, 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?
01:06:22I can't control my body.
01:06:23He, he, he's turned into the warlock's puppet.
01:06:26We have to bind him, now.
01:06:29Binding?
01:06:30That's my specialty.
01:06:39Father, we 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, Jason!
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!
01:06:54Andrew!
01:07:11Andrew!
01:07:12Wake up!
01:07:13Don't let the warlock consume you!
01:07:17Ha ha ha! You 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! What the hell are you doing?!
01:07:33No! I don't want this either!
01:07:41Father!
01:07:45How did you come to this?
01:07:47C rank mage. Pathetic.
01:07:49You're not even worth controlling. Die.
01:07:53This is bad. That warlock has to be above B rank. We're screwed.
01:07:59Get out of my way. I can save them.
01:08:01Master Jason, Lord Leon is just trying to keep you alive.
01:08:05He's right. We won't let you run to your death.
01:08:07Move. I need to help my father.
01:08:10No! I don't want to die!
01:08:13I...
01:08:14Shhh!
01:08:15Father! You're alive?
01:08:20Father! Let me help!
01:08:23I won't let my son just die. Not while your old man's still kicking.
01:08:33I'll hold it here! Everyone, start casting!
01:08:38Stay out of my way.
01:08:42That titan's just a corpse running on necromancy. The source is in the head.
01:08:46Father! Aim for its forehead!
01:08:57Master Jason, stop making things worse. If you knew the first thing about necromancy, you'd know a rear-mated corpse's
01:09:02weak point is the heart.
01:09:02No! This titan is different!
01:09:05Jason, really? Even now, you're still trying to prove yourself.
01:09:10Aim at its heart!
01:09:11No!
01:09:12Far!
01:09:12Far!
01:09:14Far!
01:09:27It worked!
01:09:28Thank the gods!
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, no. It 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.
01:09:58Father! The titan isn't dead!
01:10:01What?
01:10:04Your domain actually produced a genius.
01:10:07What a shame. Even a genius gets dragged down by idiots.
01:10:14What is that thing?
01:10:16It's an A rank parasite tree.
01:10:18That's it.
01:10:19That's why it felt so wrong.
01:10:21The real undead wasn't the titan.
01:10:23It was a parasite tree nesting in its brain.
01:10:42We're finished.
01:10:45We lost our one chance to kill it.
01:10:49A city this prosperous, a gem of revival, all of it will be mine!
01:10:56And once I deliver you to Lord Zora, I'll be raised to Dark Warden and take my place at his
01:11:02side!
01:11:17I failed this city! Protect my sons! I'll end this here!
01:11:22Lord Leon is burning through his life force for power, father.
01:11:27Lord Leon!
01:11:29Lord Leon!
01:11:30For the...
01:11:43Jason?
01:11:51Our realm is under dragon attack.
01:11:54The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the dragon valley as a sacrifice.
01:12:00Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
01:12:04I volunteer as sacrifice.
01:12:08You are young to have such a death wish.
01:12:11I'm eighteen, your majesty. My only wish is that my life means something.
01:12:15Very well. You shall travel to the dragon valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
01:12:22And there you will die. Before you go, I must ask, you are so young, why would you give up
01:12:28your life so freely?
01:12:29I'm an orphan. Found near the dragon valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
01:12:35That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
01:12:39Lord Quinn taught me to run.
01:12:42I'm doing it, father. Look!
01:12:43That's it, Alistair. Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight.
01:12:47My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
01:12:52Remember, Alistair. Delicate.
01:12:55My older sister, the brave knight Kaya, taught me to fight.
01:12:59Better luck next time, brother.
01:13:04And my sister, Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
01:13:14Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
01:13:18I thought I found a brother that was like me.
01:13:21An orphan, except he came from noble birth.
01:13:25But it was not meant to be.
01:13:28While hunts, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave himself.
01:13:34There is room for only one foundling in this family.
01:13:39My family believed him.
01:13:42Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
01:13:49I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
01:13:52The Quinns loved me for many years.
01:13:55They saved my life.
01:13:57Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
01:14:02No one will miss me.
01:14:04You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
01:14:06I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
01:14:10carriage.
01:14:11Majesty, I do have one request.
01:14:13Name it and it is yours.
01:14:15I wish that my identity stays a secret.
01:14:17That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
01:14:21I promise no one will know.
01:14:24Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today, so long as Alistair
01:14:29is alive.
01:14:30This is my command, under penalty of death.
01:14:33Three days.
01:14:35In three days I will be gone.
01:14:41Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
01:14:44There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
01:14:50Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
01:14:53They seem angry.
01:14:57And where have you been?
01:14:58There are dragons on the loose, boy.
01:15:00You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
01:15:05Forgive me, my lord.
01:15:07A stable rat dressed as a prince.
01:15:10You probably stole these clothes.
01:15:12You're lying.
01:15:13A thief in fancy clothes.
01:15:15Are the clothes we give you not enough?
01:15:17Did you have to go steal these?
01:15:19Yet again you embarrass our family.
01:15:22Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
01:15:24Come on, Kaya.
01:15:25Ignore him.
01:15:26You are just a stable boy.
01:15:28The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
01:15:32In three days I will be gone.
01:15:37Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
01:15:41You know, but how?
01:15:45People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler, but there is more to me than meets the eye.
01:15:54I've decided not to tell them.
01:15:56They'll find out soon enough.
01:15:58Will you keep this between us?
01:16:01Yes.
01:16:02I will keep your secret.
01:16:03The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
01:16:06A heart can break twice, boy.
01:16:08Once from cruelties and once from silence.
01:16:13Then let mine break quietly.
01:16:14Certainly more than my family.
01:16:16That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
01:16:19Mother!
01:16:21My roses.
01:16:23My beautiful, innocent roses.
01:16:26They're dead.
01:16:32Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
01:16:34Nothing can survive in your garden.
01:16:36Who could have done this?
01:16:37Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
01:16:40That's not true.
01:16:41I've been gone and only just now returned.
01:16:43Gone where?
01:16:44To destroy the evidence.
01:16:45We should search his room.
01:16:47There is nothing to find.
01:16:49I swear, please believe me.
01:16:52There!
01:16:52Under his bed!
01:16:57I don't believe my eyes.
01:16:59A sack of salt.
01:17:00Half empty.
01:17:02I told you he did it.
01:17:04Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
01:17:08How could you...
01:17:10Oh!
01:17:12I swear I didn't harm your roses.
01:17:15I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
01:17:17You saw me arrive early this morning.
01:17:19That's true.
01:17:20Alistair wasn't here this morning.
01:17:21Yes.
01:17:22Very...
01:17:40...
