00:00I will allow a six-month engagement, during which you both follow my rules, otherwise Molly becomes a new CEO.
00:11Wow, my dear sister.
00:15Beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife.
00:23I've never seen you in this light before.
00:25What are you doing here?
00:41What's going on?
00:46Yeah, you think you've got this all figured out, don't you?
00:49My mother showed up at the doorstep.
00:55Never the one for stories, huh?
00:57I'm here for the book. I know it was you.
01:01Where is it?
01:02I just need five minutes with Gertrude Lawson. Five minutes.
01:08Excuse me, Ms. Lawson.
01:10I'm Sammy Davis. I really think you'd be interested in this portfolio I put together.
01:14It's made of...
01:20I'm so sorry.
01:22I'm Sammy Davis.
01:24I really think you'd be interested in this portfolio I put together.
01:26It's made of...
01:28I'm so sorry.
01:29These numbers, they're not bad.
01:30You think so?
01:31They're just product margins from the company I've been working for.
01:32I'm so sorry.
01:33I'm Sammy Davis.
01:34I'm Sammy Davis.
01:35I'm Sammy Davis.
01:36I really think you'd be interested in this portfolio I put together.
01:37It's made of...
01:38I'm so sorry.
01:42These numbers, they're not bad.
01:44You think so?
01:45They're just product margins from the company I've been working for.
01:49Follow me. I don't have time with this yet.
02:06You want something from me?
02:09I want something from you.
02:12What are you talking about?
02:14A marriage proposal. Business only.
02:18In exchange, I'll hire your company to issue and test new investment methods and tools of analysis for mine.
02:28What?
02:35A contract marriage.
02:36Really, Gertrude?
02:37I'm not the kind of man who'll just sell himself for favors.
02:41Over the years, I've learned that everything, everyone, has a price sound.
02:47And here I thought you were a businessman.
02:53Unless...
02:54Your little sense of honor has turned you into an idolist.
03:00Well, what about your ex? Victor?
03:02I hear he's been chasing you like a hawk.
03:04You really think he's gonna give up when he finds out what you've been planning?
03:07I'll handle Victor.
03:08All you have to do is stick to your side of the marriage contract.
03:15And I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
03:17Look, I'm offering you more money than those two bid companies you've been bending over backwards for.
03:26Unless, of course, your heart's been spoken for.
03:31And my heart has not been spoken for.
03:33And I'm not a fool.
03:35Six months, Sam. That's all.
03:40No emotion.
03:41No romance.
03:42Just an agreement.
03:46So it's just a regular contract like any other.
03:49So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:55So do we have a deal, Sam?
03:57I've been looking for you.
04:02Excuse me?
04:04And who's this?
04:05Is this your latest business acquisition?
04:08You must be Victor.
04:12I have heard some rather unpleasant things about you.
04:16Please keep your hands off my wife.
04:20Is this some kind of a joke?
04:22Who do you think you are?
04:24I'm her husband, Sammy Davis.
04:28Oh, this is some kind of joke.
04:30Gertrude, you love your little games.
04:32But you'll never find anyone as good as me.
04:39Get out, Victor.
04:40Now.
04:42You are mine.
04:44Forever and always.
04:54He is going to be a problem for us, isn't he?
04:56I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.
04:59Can we get back to signing documents?
05:01Oh, you'd prefer meeting the family first.
05:10Wow.
05:12My dear sister.
05:14What a pleasant surprise.
05:17And you brought a new pet.
05:19I don't know.
05:20Maybe I have one of those familiar faces.
05:24It must have been an exciting few days.
05:28I must believe it was the purpose of your trip.
05:31Believe what you want.
05:33The company is never going to be yours.
05:35I was born to better you.
05:39Enjoy it while it lasts.
05:42My sister has always had a habit of losing interest in her little play toys.
05:49You must just find yourself on a clearance rack.
05:54Clearance rack? How pathetic.
05:55I assure you, my, he's far from disposable.
06:02It's funny that you think he'd be intimidated by someone who's been on the shelf way too long herself.
06:09Sam, you better watch her back.
06:12My sister was never good at protecting what's hers.
06:18Ignore her. She's always been a jealous bitch.
06:21I'll get where it's mine. You'll see.
06:24You better learn when to stop barking.
06:26On cue.
06:34What the fuck is going on here then?
06:36Gertrude is about to introduce her new husband to our father.
06:40Oh.
06:42You're rejecting me.
06:44For this.
06:46What are you doing here Victor?
06:48You think you can get rid of me so easily.
06:50No, you thought I was going to let you two ride off into the sunset.
06:53Oh, I see what this is. Yeah?
06:58She's a little guard dog, isn't he?
07:00You know what? You're the biggest mistake she's ever made.
07:05From what I've heard, you're the biggest mistake she's ever made.
07:09A broke billionaire playboy who can't keep his dick in his pants.
07:15You can't even keep your play things in check.
07:18How are you going to run the company?
07:19Didn't you have something better to do?
07:22Like, sleep off the excess alcohol maybe?
07:25A drunk needs some kind of entertainment.
07:28I better stay for the fight.
07:30And my money is on Mr. Playboy.
07:32I bet he'll put you in your place.
07:34What?
07:37Awe.
07:38Awe.
07:52Awe.
07:54You're looking at my money right now.
07:57Awe.
07:59Awe.
08:00Awe.
08:01I know punching Victor wasn't part of the contract, but...
08:14Why did you do that?
08:15I can take care of myself.
08:16I didn't say you couldn't.
08:19Just think if we're going to make this work, we need to show that I'm on your side.
08:23Open this goddamn door!
08:25Go home Victor, you're drunk!
08:28I have to make sure they know I care about you too.
08:33Father!
08:35Victor's gone to sleep it off.
08:37I see you're back and you brought a guest.
08:41I am sorry for my part I played in this, sir.
08:45Well, he shows promise already.
08:47Who's your friend?
08:49Father, I'd like you to meet my husband, Sammy Davis.
08:55By any misfortune, are you related to Charles Davis?
09:00Yes, actually he's my stepfather.
09:02It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
09:05I wish I could say the same.
09:13What are you doing up?
09:15Didn't your doctor recommend lots of sleep in order for you to feel better?
09:18I got a rather interesting call.
09:21And I couldn't go back to sleep.
09:23Victor, things must be serious.
09:26No good times for games.
09:29Did you get married to the Lawson girl meanwhile?
09:32They hate me already.
09:35Don't think there'll be much of a marriage.
09:37You must find a way to marry her.
09:40You must become part of the Lawson family.
09:43What?
09:44Yeah.
09:45I don't understand.
09:46You are willing to marry me off to some girl you've never met.
09:49You barely know.
09:50I haven't even introduced you.
09:52Yes.
09:53You have to control the Lawson empire.
09:56It doesn't belong to them.
09:57What are you talking about?
09:59I don't understand you sometimes, Charles.
10:02You have to marry that girl.
10:04For what your mother owes you.
10:06For what I owe.
10:08I'm tired.
10:11I've had a long day and I need to...
10:16It's enough.
10:17It's enough.
10:18We have to get back what my brother stole from me.
10:22Brother?
10:23We've never talked about family.
10:25I thought they...
10:26You will marry that girl.
10:28You will become part of their family.
10:30And you will make them pay for killing your mother.
10:33You got it?
10:35What are you doing here, Molly?
10:47I just want to get a feel of my office.
10:50I quite like what you've done with this place.
10:53You've just given my interior designers more work to do.
10:57You know what, Molly?
10:59You've always been jealous of me.
11:01But in the past couple of years you became worse.
11:05I really don't know why you're so obsessed with me.
11:08Obsessed?
11:09Why would I be obsessed with you?
11:11Because I'm everything you wish you could be.
11:15It's sad, honestly.
11:17My advice?
11:18You should get a life.
11:20I think you should leave.
11:25I have an important matter to attend as an acting CEO.
11:30Besides, I don't think you need an interior designer.
11:33You need a stylist.
11:35Father hasn't improved your marriage yet.
11:38And that's the most important condition for you to become CEO.
11:43I have a feeling I'll be taking over.
11:59Beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife.
12:06I bet they smell like shit.
12:08Because they look like shit.
12:09Oh.
12:10You're still here.
12:11Stop.
12:12You're gonna make me just fall for you.
12:15Well, I take my part of the contract very seriously.
12:18About the contract.
12:21I think we could make it work.
12:25Damn you.
12:26Damn you all.
12:29I'll have some of that.
12:31Victor?
12:34I'm not sharing.
12:36Besides, went you banned from coming here after that little stand that you pulled.
12:41I mean, I thought you'd knock him out.
12:45Actually, I came here to see you.
12:50Sorry Victor, but you're below my standards.
12:54You don't qualify to be my booty call.
12:57Unless I put a pillow on your face.
13:01Don't flatter yourself.
13:02I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last thing on earth.
13:07Okay?
13:08Quite frankly, you're the only person I can ally with.
13:14Fuck you, Victor.
13:16You're ridiculous.
13:18I would never lie with a squatter like you.
13:20I guess you don't want to be CEO as badly as you say you do.
13:24Don't patronize me.
13:25You have no idea what I want.
13:28If I were you, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting my time.
13:32I would be out there fighting what's mine.
13:36What do you mean?
13:37They're signing the marriage contract as we speak.
13:46Relax.
13:47I'll be here soon.
13:48It's a contractual marriage.
13:51Why do you really want to do this?
13:54You and I will both get what we want from this.
13:57You'll become CEO and I'll finally get my name out there.
14:00I just want to know why you keep defending me when you barely know me.
14:09My mother taught me I should treat women with respect.
14:13Taught.
14:15Does that mean?
14:17Yeah, she was murdered a few years ago.
14:20They never found the person who did it, but my father's raised me as his own ever since.
14:25You're lucky my father has your own retainer.
14:31Sorry for being late, Miss Lawson. Chaffik's murder out there.
14:35Give him a break.
14:37We should at least thank him for making time for us in such short notice.
14:41We should at least give a-
14:42Don't you fucking dare!
14:50So I take it you both wrote the small print?
14:52And you both signed documents.
14:58Let's get over with this already.
15:01Will you give us a minute?
15:04If we're going to make this work, we need to add respect to the contract.
15:10I object!
15:18Please don't worry.
15:19We're going to sell this together.
15:20I promise.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:25I gotta go.
15:26I will talk to you later, okay?
15:28Emma Lawson speaking.
15:31Miss Lawson.
15:32Hi, I'm Thomas, an attorney at Donovan Associates.
15:36I regret to inform you the passing of Mr. Jonathan Kingsley.
15:39You've been named in the will.
15:40And it's crucial that you attend the reading tomorrow at 10 a.m.
15:43I'm sorry, sir, but there must be some misunderstanding.
15:47I barely knew Mr. Kingsley.
15:49There's no mistake.
15:50Mr. Kingsley made his intentions quite clear.
15:53It's imperative you're at the reading.
15:55Okay. I will be there.
15:57Goodbye.
15:58Goodbye.
16:10Well, let's get on with it, Thomas.
16:12We're all here, aren't we?
16:14Actually, we're expecting one more participant.
16:17Another participant?
16:19This is ridiculous.
16:21Who else could it possibly be?
16:28And you are?
16:31And you are?
16:34I'm Emma Lawson.
16:36I was invited by Mr. Thompson.
16:41Well, Miss Lawson, let's hope for your sake,
16:45as the mystery guest,
16:48that there's a reason for you to be here.
16:52Let's proceed with the reading of Mr. Jonathan Kingsley's
16:54last will and testament to him.
16:57To whom it may concern, I, Jonathan Kingsley,
17:00being of sound mind and body after much contemplation,
17:03have chosen to bequeath my entire estate,
17:06including all assets and interests in the Kingsley Corporation,
17:09to Emma Lawson.
17:11It is my firm belief that she possesses the moral fortitude
17:13to utilize this fortune in a manner that aligns
17:17with the philanthropic principles upon which it was built.
17:20To my family, I have witnessed the corrosive effects
17:23of wealth and power on your characters.
17:25The relentless pursuit of more has eclipsed the very values
17:29I endeavor to instill.
17:31It is my hope that this decision will serve as a catalyst
17:34for reflection and redemption.
17:36Emma must reside in the manor alongside my family
17:39for one year to claim her inheritance.
17:40This period is designed to test her resolve,
17:44to ensure that the weight of this legacy does not corrupt her
17:48as it did my own kin.
17:50Should she succeed, all will be transferred into her name
17:54and she will become the sole guardian of my legacy.
17:57Sincerely, Jonathan Kingsley.
17:59This must be a mistake.
18:01There are no mistakes.
18:03Mr. Kingsley's wishes were made.
18:05They're still clear to me.
18:07Why the hell would Jonathan trust a total stranger with his entire legacy?
18:13That belongs to my children!
18:14I met Mr. Kingsley only once. We barely spoke. It was a charity event. I'm as surprised as you are.
18:27You walk in here claiming a fortune that rightfully belongs to our bloodline.
18:34How convenient is that you met my father only once?
18:37and secure yourself to be in our lives.
18:43This is preposterous!
18:45Thomas, there must be some mistake. Jonathan would never...
18:49The real is explicit.
18:50There are no mistakes regarding Mr. Kingsley's inheritance when it comes to Emma.
18:55Mr. Kingsley's decisions were made crystal clear to me.
18:57I am the firstborn son of this family and it's my responsibility to take care of everything that my father left behind!
19:07I don't give a shit about this damn will!
19:10How do we even know that you didn't even forge this shit?
19:13That's enough!
19:16You know Mr. Thomas lies into this family and has no expectations.
19:21And if he says that's my father's will, then that's his will.
19:24I am ashamed of you, Alexander.
19:28Instead of fighting for your own legacy, you're here exposing your daftness!
19:34Jonathan's wishes were made clear to me.
19:37His trust in Emma transcends blood tide.
19:40Accept it or fight it, but do not question my loyalty.
19:43Loyalty in my ass!
19:46We are talking about our legacy here!
19:49I won't let an outsider rewrite our family history!
19:52Emma, do you accept the terms of this will?
19:56We're here.
19:57Yeah, I can see that.
19:59Don't worry, Emma.
20:00You have every right to be here.
20:01This is what Jonathan wanted.
20:02But why?
20:04Why did he choose me?
20:05I barely knew him.
20:07You'll see soon enough.
20:08Come, let me show you to your room.
20:09Well, well, well, well.
20:10If it isn't the unwanted guest.
20:11I see you decided to stay.
20:12How foolish of you.
20:13Hello, Victoria.
20:14Don't hello me!
20:15You think you can walk in here and just take everything that belongs to my family?
20:19Your innocent act doesn't fool me.
20:20I'm here just to walk in here and just take everything that belongs to my family?
20:24Your innocent act doesn't fool me.
20:25I'm here just to honor Jonathan's last will.
20:26I don't want any trouble.
20:27Oh, trouble!
20:28You haven't even seen trouble.
20:29And if you stay here longer, you'll be here.
20:30You will have to be here for a while.
20:31You have to be here for a while.
20:32I'm here.
20:33And the only one I want to be here for a while is to be here for a while, is to be here for
20:34a while.
20:35I'm here.
20:36How foolish of you.
20:37Hello Victoria.
20:38Don't hello me!
20:39You think you can walk in here and just take everything that belongs to my family?
20:42Your innocent act doesn't fool me.
20:47I'm here just to honor Jonathan's last will.
20:51I don't want any trouble.
20:52Oh!
20:53Trouble!
20:54You haven't even seen trouble.
20:56And if you stay here longer, you'll regret setting foot even in this house.
21:02Victoria, please. There's no need for this.
21:04Emma's a guest, and she deserves respect.
21:07Respect? Respect for what?
21:10For stealing my children's birthright?
21:14Victoria, that's not true. She's just trying to follow his will.
21:17His will? His will is a joke. A cruel joke.
21:22And you know what? I won't stand for it.
21:24Nothing is going to stop me from stopping this.
21:29Get out of my way. Get out of my house.
21:32You're not welcome here, and you never will be.
21:37Are you okay?
21:39Yeah, sure.
21:40Don't worry about her.
21:42Come, let me show you two.
21:51Here's your room.
21:54I'll allow you to get some rest.
22:02I'll be taking you to the company office tomorrow.
22:05Have a nice day.
22:06Goodbye.
22:06You're playing a dangerous game
22:35by staying in Hinksy Manor.
22:38You're not welcomed here,
22:39and never will be.
22:41If you know what's good for you,
22:42you'll pack up and leave
22:44before things get worse.
22:47This is your only chance.
22:49Stay out
22:50of our way.
22:53The Watcher.
22:53I have to do it for them.
23:06I have to do it for them.
23:06Hi, Emma.
23:23I'm Alexander,
23:25the black sheep of this family.
23:28Hi, Alexander.
23:30Hi.
23:30Can I come in?
23:32Oh, yeah, sure.
23:33Please, come in.
23:38Wow.
23:40Such a quiet room.
23:43I thought I'd always keep this place locked.
23:45I never knew Thomas had the key to it.
23:48You must feel like a son of a driller.
23:51No, not really.
23:53Probably like Alice in Wonderland
23:55because everything feels so strange and surreal.
24:00I know what you mean.
24:02This place could be a madhouse sometimes.
24:06And you are Jonathan's youngest son.
24:09Yes, I'm Alexander.
24:12And the product is not as my mother would like to call me.
24:15Why is that?
24:17You know, because I don't share their obsession about the money, power.
24:23No, I have some other interests.
24:26Really?
24:26Like what?
24:28Like art, music, traveling.
24:32That sounds wonderful.
24:34Yeah, it is.
24:35It is.
24:35But, you know, they don't understand me.
24:38They're just thinking that I'm losing my potential.
24:42I'm sorry to hear that.
24:43Don't be.
24:44Don't be.
24:45I'm happy with my choices, okay?
24:48And I have a feeling that we have something in common.
24:52Really?
24:53Yeah.
24:53Like what?
24:54Oh, we both don't belong here.
24:57Well, I guess you're right.
24:59Yeah.
25:00Hey.
25:02Don't be sad.
25:04I'm here to cheer you up, okay?
25:06The way how my mother and brother talked to you wasn't nice.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:13Thank you for your concern, really.
25:14But I still don't understand why Mr. Jonathan would choose me of all other people.
25:21Look, because he saw something special in you.
25:25I mean, you are not corrupted by greed and envy.
25:29No.
25:30You are the kind of person who will need to take over his empire.
25:36And what about you?
25:38Aren't you a little bitter that an outsider is coming to your house and trying to take what
25:44rightfully belongs to you, his blood?
25:46I've never wanted to take responsibilities, and that's made my father disappointed in me.
25:56Whoa, what was that?
25:58I don't know.
25:59It sounded like...
26:01Victoria!
26:04Mom, what happened?
26:05I didn't...
26:13I didn't know.
26:15I...
26:18I poised it in my teeth.
26:21Call an ambulance!
26:22Now!
26:25You fucking bitch!
26:27Look at what your presence has caused.
26:29If anything happened to my mother, you will regret stabbing a foot into this house.
26:34She's innocent, okay? We were together when we heard her scream.
26:38She wasn't even impacting her stuff when I got in to see her.
26:42How on earth she could possibly put something in water's tea?
26:47I swear, I didn't do that. You have to believe me.
26:54Okay.
26:55You stepped into this house today and wanting to take everything that is ours.
27:02But the tea that my mom takes every single morning almost killed her.
27:08Convenient, isn't it?
27:11George, come on, buddy. Let's not jump to conclusions.
27:15Just mom said she did. It doesn't mean she really did.
27:19I mean, I'm sorry, but I think Emma's saying the truth, okay?
27:23My mother said a glass could be due to something else and that poison.
27:28Are you calling our mother a liar because of this bitch?
27:32Charles, I had enough from you. Please stop calling me bitch.
27:39Or what?
27:41Enough!
27:43Enough!
27:46Oh my god. Alexander, are you okay?
27:50It's okay. I've had the worst for her, ma'am.
27:53Oh my god.
27:54Oh my god.
27:54That's all my fault. If I hadn't come in here, you would be...
27:59No.
28:01Don't you see?
28:03It's not about you. It's about us.
28:05This family. We're broken, Emma.
28:08We're just a mirror showing us our reflection.
28:11Broken mirror, still cuts.
28:15Never blame yourself for something you didn't start.
28:17Hello?
28:17Oh, uh, that's like great news.
28:33Thank you. Yeah, we'll be there soon.
28:36All right.
28:36Doctor said that, uh, mother's going to be fine. No poison.
28:46Yeah.
28:47That's wonderful.
28:48Leave now or the next break won't miss.
29:06The Watcher.
29:09The Watcher.
29:09We need to find out who's doing this and why.
29:39But what if it's one of your family members?
29:43It's okay. We'll go through this together.
29:52Why hasn't she been arrested yet?
29:57Mom, the doctors found nothing wrong with you.
30:00There was no poison.
30:01I think they already mentioned that to you.
30:03I don't care what the doctors say.
30:05I know she was behind it.
30:06I want her out of this house!
30:09Victoria.
30:10Victoria.
30:11All I've shown you since I came to this house was love and respect.
30:16And I'm not going to get bullied by you.
30:18Jonathan's will was clear and I'm here to honor it.
30:22Don't talk to me about Jonathan's will.
30:25You're nothing but an interloper.
30:27I might be an outsider to you, but Jonathan saw something in me and I don't care what you think.
30:38You might hurt me, but you're not going to break me.
30:46The more you want me out, the more you want me out, the more I want to stay.
30:53It is overwhelming.
30:56You belong here, Emma.
31:02Jonathan saw that.
31:04And so do I.
31:05But are they going to see that?
31:08The staff, the board?
31:10They will have to.
31:11You're not just sitting in any chair.
31:14You're sitting in the chair Jonathan wanted you in.
31:16As the CEO.
31:17What is this charade?
31:21That's my chair and this is my office.
31:24Well, your father had a different thought on that.
31:28Well, you have no experience.
31:30You have no right.
31:32She has every right, Charles.
31:34The will is clear.
31:35I'm here to lead, not to follow.
31:38And definitely not to be screamed at.
31:42So you think you can just walk in and take it over?
31:45This is my life's work.
31:49This is Jonathan's life's work.
31:51And now, my responsibility.
31:55You won't last a week.
31:58Watch me.
32:03You're sitting on your downfall.
32:06And you're standing on the thin ice.
32:09If you're not going to leave now, I'm going to make security to escort you out.
32:15Well done, Emma.
32:23This is just the beginning.
32:28Charles, this isn't the way.
32:31Drowning yourself in alcohol is not going to get back what you've lost.
32:36She took everything, Mother.
32:38How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:42You don't have to sit back.
32:45I have a plan.
32:46You don't have to sit back.
32:54You're doing nothing.
32:56I have to sit back now.
33:05Well done, and Now what...
