Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I hope it's not too forward of me to say this, but you look exceptionally beautiful.
00:00:26You literally just took my breath away right now, you're magnificent.
00:00:31I'm sorry about ghosting the meeting of your lawyers.
00:00:35It just came from out of the blue.
00:00:36I had no idea why my mother's late employer's lawyer would want to meet with me so urgently.
00:00:43It happened so fast and I didn't really have much time to think about it, I just said yes.
00:00:48So you're aware of the part of my father's will that relates to you?
00:00:53I had no idea, it's quite strange.
00:00:58It's been a bit overwhelming, even for me.
00:01:03For us.
00:01:04Isn't there supposed to be two of you?
00:01:07You're a Chinese that I'm supposed to meet your brother as well?
00:01:12You must be the all important Miss Harris.
00:01:16Speak of the devil.
00:01:21Tell me something.
00:01:22How much are you really going to cost me?
00:01:27You must be Jack Blackmore.
00:01:30You guys are playing good cop, bad cop.
00:01:33He came earlier to butter me up with outrageous compliments, and then you swoop in for the
00:01:38attack.
00:01:39What are you insinuating that I'm for sale?
00:01:41Am I interrupting something?
00:01:44Don't tell me you've fallen for his boyhood routine.
00:01:47Clearly this is an exchange.
00:01:50Thank you for her father's wealth, don't play dumb.
00:01:54What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:01:55Don't talk to her like that, it's disgusting.
00:01:57Oh come on, you're coming on so strong Johnny boy, don't act all innocent now that she's
00:02:03looking so beautiful.
00:02:04Is that what you think a woman is?
00:02:07That we're only valuable for the way we look?
00:02:12No wonder your father locked you out of his wealth.
00:02:14You're not only classist, but you're sexist as well.
00:02:17Watch your fucking mouth, you don't know anything about alcohol.
00:02:20You think you're better than us, don't you?
00:02:23The fact that you're even here considering this proposal says a lot about you.
00:02:27You fucking bitch, how much does this cost?
00:02:29Use it to mop up your toxicity, rich boy.
00:02:31You should both go to hell if you're up for it.
00:02:43Evangeline, wait!
00:02:44Hold on a second.
00:02:50Nice one, Jack.
00:02:51Nice one.
00:02:52She's the spitfire, that one.
00:02:53What about those curves?
00:02:54You never know, she'll be so hot.
00:02:58What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:03:00You made her change her mind.
00:03:01How hard is it to be polite, goddammit?
00:03:04My family's firecracker can't take a joke.
00:03:06Besides, she'll be back eventually.
00:03:09Are you sure about that?
00:03:10I don't think you saw how angry she was.
00:03:12Don't worry, Johnny boy.
00:03:16I know women and I saw the fire in her today and she's burning for me.
00:03:21I think you're confusing your emotions.
00:03:23Nah.
00:03:24One way or another, I'll be holding that spark in my hands.
00:03:28Don't tell me now you're interested in her.
00:03:31You were talking down to her that entire time.
00:03:33You call it talking down, I'll call it flirting.
00:03:36And besides, who can see you're all smitten in less than 20 minutes?
00:03:41I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:03:44There's no denying it.
00:03:46We could clearly see your heart thumping out of her shirt and I'm pretty sure I could make
00:03:50her heart thump a little bit more.
00:03:53Are you sure about that?
00:03:55Ha!
00:03:56Yeah.
00:04:01I guess we'll find out.
00:04:14PHONE VIBRATES
00:04:24PHONE VIBRATES
00:04:27Oh, Mum, Jan.
00:04:30I can hear your phone ringing, Evangeline.
00:04:33Open the door.
00:04:36I'm coming.
00:04:41Ignoring your mother.
00:04:43That's such childish behaviour.
00:04:47Come on, Mum.
00:04:48I didn't know it was you.
00:04:49Carbs, really.
00:04:51You need to watch your figure.
00:04:52But anyway, we'll talk about that later.
00:04:54I'm here for a different reason.
00:04:56What reason?
00:04:58Or must I spell it out for you?
00:05:00I'm here to speak to you about your meeting with the Blackthorns.
00:05:03I told you what happened.
00:05:05Please don't tell me you came all this way just to talk about it again.
00:05:08Did I teach you nothing about perseverance?
00:05:11Do you have a chance to change your life,
00:05:13and even find love along the way,
00:05:15and you want to throw it away
00:05:17just because of one small little comment?
00:05:20A serious insult, you mean?
00:05:22Eva, I'm not asking you to reach out or even apologise to them.
00:05:26I'm asking you just to give them another try.
00:05:29I made a promise to Mr Blackthorn and I want to keep that.
00:05:32You speak like it's an obligation,
00:05:34but I know you didn't sign anything.
00:05:35No.
00:05:37PHONE VIBRATES
00:05:40Don't!
00:05:47John or Jack?
00:06:10You've got to be kidding me.
00:06:12John Blackthorn!
00:06:14What are you doing here?
00:06:16Are you stalking me?
00:06:18How did you know I work at this hotel?
00:06:20I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
00:06:23Well, that's exactly what you've done.
00:06:25You should never sneak up on a woman like that.
00:06:27My bad.
00:06:29I just wanted to talk to you
00:06:31and tell you how sorry I am about the other day.
00:06:34Oh, no.
00:06:36Sorry about what?
00:06:38For being a two-faced Mr Nice Guy?
00:06:41Or for being dumb when your brother insulted me?
00:06:44Eva, I'm...
00:06:45That's Evangeline to you.
00:06:47Right.
00:06:49Evangeline,
00:06:51I swear to you I was never putting on an act at any time.
00:06:55I meant every word I said about how beautiful you are.
00:06:59I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:07:03I'm sorry I didn't defend you sooner.
00:07:06My brother can be...
00:07:08difficult sometimes.
00:07:11I hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:07:15Well, that sounded better this time around.
00:07:18Maybe you know that I was really...
00:07:20Look out!
00:07:27That was close.
00:07:29I really thought he was about to knock me over.
00:07:31If you hadn't grabbed me, I'd be lying on the road by now.
00:07:33You sure you're okay?
00:07:34You're not hurt anywhere?
00:07:36It's fine. You just miss me.
00:07:38You saved me. You're my hero.
00:07:41Oh, no. It's nothing like that.
00:07:44I just happen to be looking at the road at the right time.
00:07:48You know,
00:07:50I've been trying to get in contact with you for the past few days.
00:07:53You're the one who's been blowing up my phone.
00:07:56How did you get my number?
00:07:59Well, I...
00:08:00When you weren't answering and I needed to get a hold of you,
00:08:03I called Mr. Frank, who then called...
00:08:06My mother. She loves to meddle.
00:08:09Can I give you a ride home?
00:08:11Yeah, I'd really appreciate that.
00:08:30Again, I'm sorry about what happened
00:08:34and how something that started so nicely ended up so messy.
00:08:39And I'm sorry that you almost got hit because of me.
00:08:43It's okay. I'm over it now.
00:08:45And that guy wasn't looking where he was going.
00:08:48Yeah, but I could have made sure you weren't.
00:08:52Sorry.
00:08:54I'm sorry.
00:08:57Sorry.
00:08:59No, it's okay.
00:09:07Um, this is me, so...
00:09:10Would you like to come in for a drink?
00:09:13Yeah, that'd be great.
00:09:15Yeah.
00:09:20This buckle's kind of stuck.
00:09:24Here, just need to press it in like this.
00:09:35Dammit, it's work. I need to take this.
00:09:39Um, thanks for the ride.
00:09:46I will never forget how scared you were
00:09:49when you thought a dead frog would come back to life and haunt you.
00:09:53I swear it looked me straight in the eye before it took its last breath,
00:09:57probably memorising my face so it could have its afterlife vengeance attack.
00:10:01Wasn't it for the school project?
00:10:03You were so scared that you were shivering all night,
00:10:06the lights weren't even up till midnight.
00:10:08It's funny now, but back then it was a very different matter, I can assure you.
00:10:13You know what?
00:10:15Your mum was in stitches about the whole thing.
00:10:18No, she wasn't. She believed me.
00:10:21Well, come on, at least she just made you not feel terrible.
00:10:25That's probably true.
00:10:27But in my ten-year-old brain, mum believed in the ghosts of vindictive frogs.
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:34She was something else.
00:10:37I really do miss her.
00:10:39Yeah, me too.
00:10:42And Dad too, of course.
00:10:46I always look at this photo of the four of us, together.
00:10:53We used to have dinner as a weekly tradition.
00:10:56Why don't we do that anymore?
00:10:59I don't know.
00:11:02I think things got sad after Mum died and we became busy, Dad died,
00:11:07and I think we just lost the feeling of what it's like to be a family again.
00:11:13Well, why don't we change that?
00:11:19I've lost my appetite.
00:11:21I'll leave you to it, Johnny Boy.
00:11:38Ah, Johnny Boy, welcome. Take a seat.
00:11:42Look, I got the chef to make your favourite meal.
00:11:45Wow, it all looks so good.
00:11:49And you're in a very good mood tonight.
00:11:52I thought after the way you stormed out last night I'd have to be worried about you.
00:11:56Don't worry about that. I've got that under control as usual.
00:11:59Well, even better now.
00:12:01Well, cheers to the night.
00:12:02Cheers.
00:12:06Hopefully you've worked up a big appetite.
00:12:08This is going to become a three-course meal.
00:12:10I'm as hungry as I've ever been.
00:12:12It all looks delicious.
00:12:15So, I noticed Miss Harris called you yesterday.
00:12:20I didn't realise you guys were becoming so close.
00:12:23So surprised.
00:12:25It's nothing serious.
00:12:27I reached out to apologise to her and we've been friendly ever since.
00:12:31So you're making progress, right?
00:12:34Sneaking slowly into her heart.
00:12:37One phone call at a time.
00:12:39What's next?
00:12:41Sex on the beach?
00:12:45Jack, please.
00:12:47Don't start that now.
00:12:49Don't ruin a good dinner.
00:12:51No, not at all.
00:12:57What is it?
00:13:00Guess who's going to have Ava work under him?
00:13:10Hello.
00:13:22Hello.
00:13:24You asked to see me?
00:13:26Yes, I did. Have a seat.
00:13:29I don't understand. What are you doing here?
00:13:32Well, I bought the hotel off the old owners. It's simple as that.
00:13:35Are you shocked to see me since the first time we met?
00:13:38Have you spoken about me at least?
00:13:40Well, I know you and my brother have been speaking.
00:13:42What, do you think I'm just going to vanish into thin air?
00:13:46No, I didn't ask about you.
00:13:48You were another prick that day.
00:13:51Watch your tone, young lady.
00:13:53You don't want to be getting fired speaking to the boss now, would you?
00:13:57Of course not.
00:13:59You don't have to worry. It's not like I'm going to ask you to blow me or anything.
00:14:02Well, not yet.
00:14:04I think HR would hate to hear about that.
00:14:07I don't give a shit about HR.
00:14:09I own HR, which means I own you.
00:14:12Well, that'll be all, Miss Harris. You can get back to work.
00:14:16But my brother doesn't need to know about this.
00:14:38Just the man I was looking for.
00:14:40What is it this time?
00:14:42Take a look at this.
00:14:44Blackthorne Corporation isn't doing as badly as we feared.
00:14:47It's not as good as when Dad was here, but still alive and kicking.
00:14:53I've got some news, but I'm not sure if you're going to like it.
00:14:57I think you can wait.
00:14:59Can we take a look at this first? You can tell me after.
00:15:02Okay. You have my attention. What is it?
00:15:06I'm afraid I have to relinquish some of my responsibilities at Blackthorne Corp.
00:15:10What? Why?
00:15:12I bought a hotel.
00:15:13You bought a hotel?
00:15:14The Belgi Hotel. I've just signed the papers.
00:15:16Why the fuck would you do that?
00:15:19You're barely even here. Now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:15:22It's the money from the hotel.
00:15:24The money from the hotel?
00:15:26The money from the hotel.
00:15:28You're barely even here. Now you've gone and bought a hotel?
00:15:31It's the money from my own fund.
00:15:33You don't have to worry.
00:15:34I just thought I'd let you know because I won't be around much longer.
00:15:37Once the thing's settled down.
00:15:41It's the hotel management. I best be off.
00:15:51This was quite a surprise.
00:15:53I mean, it's a good surprise.
00:15:56Please come in.
00:16:01So, this is your place.
00:16:06Yeah. Welcome to how the other half lives.
00:16:10I didn't mean...
00:16:14Isn't this what your father wanted for you?
00:16:16To mingle with the lower class?
00:16:19I'm just guessing with you.
00:16:22Okay.
00:16:24These are for you.
00:16:28You said those. My favourite thing.
00:16:32How did you know?
00:16:34I made a good guess.
00:16:46Somehow, I don't believe it was a random guess.
00:16:50Come on, tell me the truth.
00:16:53Okay, fine.
00:16:55You told me you really liked chrysanthemums since you were little.
00:16:59And your grandpa used to grow them in his garden.
00:17:03Yeah, I do like them.
00:17:05They're beautiful and unique.
00:17:11I'm glad you love them.
00:17:13I almost got you wild orchids.
00:17:15I mean, I do like those too.
00:17:18I would have cooked dinner.
00:17:20But I do have chocolate chip ice cream.
00:17:26My favourite flavour.
00:17:28What's yours?
00:17:29Boring old vanilla, I'm afraid.
00:17:33Vanilla isn't always boring.
00:17:37It's...
00:17:40It's nice and...
00:17:43Plain.
00:17:44Plain?
00:17:46I'm sorry.
00:17:47I was trying to think of another adjective.
00:17:53It's still nice.
00:18:00You're staring. Do I have something on my face?
00:18:03No.
00:18:05You're perfect.
00:18:08You're so beautiful, Evangeline.
00:18:11Thank you, you're quite handsome yourself.
00:18:16May I kiss you?
00:18:30No.
00:18:32Sorry, I don't know what came over me.
00:18:35It's alright, we're just caught up in the moment.
00:18:38Right, that's all.
00:18:41Did you know Jack was going to buy the hotel where I work?
00:18:44Is this some kind of weird game you guys are playing of inheritance?
00:18:48No, I had no idea he was going to do that.
00:18:53My brother talks cryptically and he can be hard to decode sometimes.
00:18:57He didn't mention anything until a few minutes before you called.
00:19:00How come he can afford to buy a whole freaking hotel?
00:19:03Aren't you guys supposed to be hanging on to your father's properties?
00:19:07Yes, we are.
00:19:09But his purchase didn't exactly make a dent in our savings.
00:19:14We both have healthy trust funds.
00:19:16Jack just took some money out of his to buy the hotel.
00:19:20Isn't it just fantastic rich boys can do that?
00:19:24So what do I do? I like my job and I need it.
00:19:27But Jack told me to watch my back.
00:19:29I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
00:19:33I think he was just saying that to freak you out.
00:19:35He wouldn't have told me about the hotel if he didn't want me to know.
00:19:39I can't believe my new boss is trying to marry me so he can get a couple million dollars.
00:19:46More than a couple billion, actually.
00:19:49Wow, I feel even more special.
00:19:54I should be going. Let me know if anything.
00:19:58I know you'll probably want to leave, but would you like some pizza? It's good.
00:20:04I don't want to intrude.
00:20:06I'm just inviting you to join me.
00:20:08Just two friends eating pizza and chatting about life.
00:20:12Is that what we are? Friends?
00:20:14I think so. We're close enough, at least.
00:20:17Even though I kissed you?
00:20:19Yes, even though you kissed me.
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24This is so cozy.
00:20:26I know.
00:20:28I can't remember the last time I've just hung out like this.
00:20:31You're welcome.
00:20:40I'm so sorry.
00:20:42It's okay.
00:20:44It's okay.
00:20:46It's okay.
00:20:48It's okay.
00:20:51It's okay.
00:20:55I swear to God.
00:21:00What? What was that? I noticed the look on your face.
00:21:03It's nothing serious.
00:21:05Just work.
00:21:07I don't have to deal with it right now.
00:21:13I'll be right then.
00:21:15I just...
00:21:18Still thinking about the fact that, you know, Jack is now my boss.
00:21:28Will you bring it up with him?
00:21:30No.
00:21:32Not yet, at least.
00:21:34I think it's best if he thinks he has the upper hand for now.
00:21:40What happens next?
00:21:43I don't know, Eva.
00:21:46But I promise you, he'll do nothing stupid.
00:21:49You have my word.
00:22:03Hello, my beautiful Eva.
00:22:05Work is hectic this morning and I'm meeting until later.
00:22:07How does dinner sound tonight?
00:22:09Yours, Charlie.
00:22:11I can't wait.
00:22:13I hope everybody has a great day.
00:22:15Eva?
00:22:17Are you on your phone right now?
00:22:19This is not your personal space.
00:22:21Must I remind you that you're at work?
00:22:23And you must be focusing on that.
00:22:25My apologies, sir.
00:22:27I was just checking my calendar.
00:22:29Your calendar? How timely.
00:22:31I promise I'm up to date on my morning tasks.
00:22:34And I'm just currently waiting the candidates for the sous-chef role.
00:22:37I promise I haven't been slacking off.
00:22:40Well, I'll be the judge of that.
00:22:42Because I'll be supervising all interviews from now.
00:22:45Alright, of course.
00:22:47Of course.
00:22:49Of course, Mr Blackburn, sir.
00:22:51In my office now, Ms Harris.
00:22:53There's something I need to show you and it's urgent.
00:23:03Please shut the door behind you.
00:23:11Is there something wrong?
00:23:15As a matter of fact, there is.
00:23:20What's this?
00:23:22Go ahead and open it. It's a little present from me to you.
00:23:25I'm sure you'll find the contents quite interesting.
00:23:32What's this? When was this taken?
00:23:35These are pictures of my brother with his little fling at a fancy restaurant.
00:23:39This isn't real.
00:23:41This is AI docket or something.
00:23:43I knew you'd say something like that, so I have even stronger proof.
00:23:46Yes, see, my friends of the restaurant.
00:23:48I am quite close with the son and he could easily get the live feed.
00:23:52And now I owe him.
00:23:54One way or another, this is fake.
00:23:57And I believe you.
00:23:59Oh, you have magically fallen in love with him, haven't you?
00:24:02Don't tell me you're fucking him.
00:24:05Oh, wow.
00:24:07I didn't see this one come in.
00:24:09Wow, Johnny boy is working so quickly.
00:24:12Good on him.
00:24:14Since you have, you know, benefit doubt for him,
00:24:17why don't you give him a call and ask for the camera footage yourself?
00:24:28There's only one way to find out now, isn't it?
00:24:31Call him.
00:24:34Call him.
00:24:50Hello, it's me.
00:24:54How's it going?
00:25:00You're in a meeting right now, is that correct?
00:25:04Uh-huh.
00:25:09Oh, Eva, don't be so sad.
00:25:13These women don't last long and I'm sure he's going to call and say it's just a business meeting,
00:25:19but anyone with eyes and ears and a head will know that's nothing like that.
00:25:26Why are you doing this?
00:25:28Oh, I want to make sure that you know what kind of man my brother really is.
00:25:32Then let me guess, you're the upstanding brother
00:25:36who's doing his betterment for the world, is that what this is?
00:25:42You can't pretend even for a second you haven't done this for your own nefarious purposes.
00:25:47No matter how selfless you want to appear, you're no better than your brother.
00:25:51In fact, I see more similarities than differences in you two now.
00:25:57Watch your tone, young lady.
00:25:59Haven't you forgotten I'm still your boss?
00:26:02You don't want to get fired now for losing your temper for some man, do you?
00:26:12That's okay, you go back to the office now.
00:26:14Don't worry about the interviews, I'll take care of that.
00:26:17No, let me handle the interviews. I don't need a day off.
00:26:20Okay, fine, but make sure you're efficient.
00:26:23I don't want to hear any reports of my junior manager bursting into tears while screening new stuff.
00:26:29That would be highly embarrassing.
00:26:32I'll make sure everything goes well.
00:26:40Hey, you.
00:26:43How was your meeting?
00:26:46You know, the one that took hours and hours of your time?
00:26:50It must have been really important.
00:26:54No, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight.
00:26:57I'm not feeling too good, so we'll have to make a rain check until further notice.
00:27:16That's one quick delivery.
00:27:18Oh, it's you.
00:27:20There you are. I've been knocking for ages.
00:27:23Your TV was so loud.
00:27:25I brought you ice cream.
00:27:27That's not necessary. I'm doing okay.
00:27:30Are you sure, Eva?
00:27:32You don't look so good.
00:27:34Have you been to the doctor?
00:27:36Is everything okay with you, John?
00:27:38You sound pissed off with me.
00:27:40What's wrong?
00:27:42You're acting strange and you haven't even let me come in.
00:27:46I don't think this is a conversation we should be having in the hallway.
00:27:49Strange? Or am I just not all over you like the other night?
00:27:53I guess you want a repeat.
00:27:55Too bad. It's just not going to happen.
00:27:58What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
00:28:00Are you going to keep spitting cryptic phrases like that?
00:28:03Or are you going to let me come in so we can have a civilized conversation?
00:28:06The ice cream's melting.
00:28:08I don't give a shit about the melting ice cream.
00:28:11My foot ruins your expensive shoes.
00:28:13The last time we spoke, you were cheerful.
00:28:15Now you're acting like a dog pissed in your cereal.
00:28:18If I said or did something wrong, just let me know, okay?
00:28:22Fuck off. That's what I want to tell you.
00:28:29Where is this coming from?
00:28:31You didn't give me a single clue that anything was wrong and now you're blowing up in my face.
00:28:36You know I ordered Chinese food, but ice cream will do.
00:28:40Are you even listening to me?
00:28:42You're acting like I'm not even talking to you.
00:28:44You came to check up on me, and you've done that.
00:28:47You brought me my ice cream?
00:28:49You can go on your merry way.
00:28:52Don't you dare touch me.
00:28:54What the hell, Evangelite?
00:28:56You're being childish and lashing out for no good reason.
00:28:59If you didn't want to see me, you could have given me a single phone call.
00:29:03You didn't have to fake illness just to get out of seeing me.
00:29:06Yeah, whatever.
00:29:08You can see yourself out.
00:29:10Have a nice night, John.
00:29:12Eva, wait!
00:29:18But of course I'll pay you back.
00:29:20I'm disgusted you would say such a thing.
00:29:22Well, you know how things go.
00:29:24One good turn turns to another.
00:29:26Anyway, I've got to go. I'll call you back later. Bye.
00:29:36Hey, brother.
00:29:38What are you doing here?
00:29:40Is it a crime to come check up on family?
00:29:42What are you really doing here, John?
00:29:44What are you really doing here, John?
00:29:46I doubt family concerns brought you here.
00:29:48Why did you come to see Eva?
00:29:50I know you know she works here,
00:29:52yet she does look gorgeous in that tight body.
00:29:55You keep her name out of your mouth.
00:29:57Uh-huh, so I am right.
00:29:59You did come all this way just to see your little girlfriend.
00:30:02Don't tell me you've had a little rocky patch now, have you?
00:30:05How do you know about that?
00:30:07Maybe she told me.
00:30:09Why do I get the feeling that you had something to do with it?
00:30:12Well, why don't you ask yourself?
00:30:14I'm sure she'll be in here any second.
00:30:16Finally enough, why don't you count down with me in five, four, three...
00:30:21These are the reports you asked for.
00:30:29These are the reports you asked for.
00:30:31Ah, please come in. Right on time.
00:30:34I just finished speaking with IT.
00:30:36They've made the changes you've requested already
00:30:39and I was able to export the new data into the system.
00:30:42Perfect.
00:30:43Look, why don't you come a little bit closer?
00:30:45You seem a bit uncomfortable over there.
00:30:51You're really going to act like you can't see me right now?
00:30:54Eva, that'll be all now.
00:30:56We do need a cross-check to make sure the figures are right
00:30:59and make sure it's all foolproof, all right?
00:31:01OK, I'll get on to that right now and I'll check the new schedules.
00:31:10Please move out of my way.
00:31:12You're acting like I'm radioactive.
00:31:14John, can you please step aside and let her get to work? Thank you.
00:31:17You stay out of this, Jack. It's none of your business.
00:31:20This is between me and her.
00:31:22There is nothing between you and I.
00:31:24In fact, I doubt there ever was.
00:31:31You fucking asshole! What bullshit did you tell her now?
00:31:34Watch your tone, young man.
00:31:36You're not the boss around here.
00:31:38If you don't watch yourself, Johnny boy,
00:31:40I might as well get security to escort your little bum bum out of here now.
00:31:43Whatever you did, I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
00:31:52You know it would be less stressful if you had a stronger drink.
00:31:56No, I'm good with this, thank you.
00:31:58Has my brother tried contacting you? He was quite adamant last time.
00:32:02No, he hasn't.
00:32:04That's good.
00:32:06Some of the staff have been approved time off,
00:32:08so we just need to address the budgets.
00:32:11Let me see that.
00:32:14Yeah, that's much better. I can really see the screen gleaming now.
00:32:19So I'll just need your signature here.
00:32:22And here.
00:32:23Have I told you how beautiful you look today?
00:32:26What?
00:32:27Don't act all surprised.
00:32:29You surely have to know how you act around me when you're dressed like that.
00:32:32The only two of us here, why are you so shy?
00:32:36I think we're done for the day.
00:32:39I mean, what did it touch you so-
00:32:41What the hell are you doing?
00:32:50Jack!
00:32:52Jack, that hurts! Let go of me!
00:32:54You know exactly what I'm doing. Don't be so naive.
00:32:58Jack, stop.
00:32:59Stop!
00:33:00Why are you so resistant? I know you want this.
00:33:05I can sense it.
00:33:10This is sexual assault. You won't get away with this.
00:33:13Yeah? So go fuck Rosie Evans before I will.
00:33:17You fucking bitch, where are you going?
00:33:30What's this?
00:33:33That's a half a million dollars. Not yours yet.
00:33:37Fine. I know you didn't just call me out of the blue for nothing.
00:33:44I was coming to you because I know you get your daughter's best interest at heart.
00:33:48She's a special girl, that Eva.
00:33:52Now I can tell that you know your way around words.
00:33:54Can we just get straight to the point, please?
00:33:57Alright then. You're aware of stipulations in my father's will?
00:34:01Sure.
00:34:02I want to marry your daughter. There's been a misunderstanding.
00:34:05And I need you to smooth it over.
00:34:07What?
00:34:08Because, well, you're the only one your daughter looks up to.
00:34:12So what type of misunderstanding was this?
00:34:14I mean, why don't you just go to her and ask her forgiveness?
00:34:16I mean, my daughter doesn't hold grudges. I know my daughter.
00:34:20Well, that's between your daughter and I. I hope you understand.
00:34:23No, you see, I don't understand.
00:34:25Because you just made it my business by bringing it to me.
00:34:29Now tell me, was this a misunderstanding of a sexual nature?
00:34:33And was this misunderstanding non-consensual?
00:34:39As I said, this is between your daughter and I.
00:34:41Now we're all adults and we all know what happens behind closed doors.
00:34:45Now you see, you are more than a twisted rich prick if you think you're going to pay me to hush my daughter.
00:34:54Is that so?
00:34:56Yes, that is so. Now I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve, but I can tell you this.
00:35:03There's nothing compared to the wrath of an angry woman.
00:35:06Wow.
00:35:07And you can best believe that if you did something bad to her, you'll pay for it.
00:35:13That I'll have to agree with.
00:35:15But how angry and heartbreaking would your daughter feel when she knows this isn't the first sweetener that you got from the Blackthorns?
00:35:23Sweetener? I don't know what you're talking about.
00:35:25I'm not done, Miss Harris.
00:35:27I didn't just come to you because I was feeling sentimental about your relationship with your daughter.
00:35:32I came here to offer you more money, an additional payment that you got from my father to introduce. Here you go.
00:35:38I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:35:40Spare me the bullshit. I've seen your signature on a couple of documents.
00:35:43I just wonder how sane my father was when he changed the will.
00:35:46Best of my knowledge, only a minor would need a guardian signature.
00:35:50What do I know?
00:35:52That's not what happened.
00:35:54But I do know that in a court of law, a carer such as yourself taking advantage of a poor man's dying...
00:36:01What do you expect me to do, Jack?
00:36:03Hm? Wave this magic wand and just miraculously have my daughter forgive you?
00:36:08I don't know about your will, but in mine it doesn't work that way.
00:36:11It's a beautiful thing right now, isn't it?
00:36:13Maybe you should mention John or Anna Sui's name to your daughter. Maybe that will help.
00:36:17I'm sure you'd be more successful and a lot richer if you knew how to play your cards right.
00:36:22Maybe you might get the forgiveness of your daughter. I'm not sure, but that's up to you.
00:36:39So long, the Bellevue Hotel.
00:36:56Hey darling. How are you doing?
00:36:59No, I thought I wasn't seeing you to our lunch next week.
00:37:02Well, I was in the neighbourhood and I thought I'd bring us some pizza.
00:37:07Someone's in a good mood.
00:37:09Well, thank you for the pizza. Let's have it straight away.
00:37:13Pleasure. So, how have you been doing? You look really relaxed today.
00:37:18You haven't told me that my hair looks like a bird's nest or baggy clothes I'm wearing are going to scare off a serious thiever.
00:37:29Well, okay. So, I can't even give you a compliment now and it's taken the opposite way.
00:37:33I can't even say nice things to you now.
00:37:35Rather, tell me how is things with that Blackthorn boy that you were smiling about the other day?
00:37:42You mean John?
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:45We're no longer together and I honestly don't know if we ever were.
00:37:49Oh, okay. And what about the other one? I think it all just starts with a J.
00:37:53Jack.
00:37:54Yeah, his name was Jack.
00:37:55I remember. Jack. How's things with him, Loss? I heard he was actually now your boss or something.
00:38:00Things between us are how they should be.
00:38:04What does that mean? Is there something else going on? You know that you can talk to me, sweetie.
00:38:16There was an incident between me and Jack.
00:38:20He got physical.
00:38:21Were you guys drinking?
00:38:22No, Mum. I wasn't drinking. Neither was he.
00:38:26Okay, I'm just asking. I mean, you know, what do you think is going to happen if you're alone with your boss?
00:38:32I mean, he's a handsome boy and you guys must be attracted to each other.
00:38:37What are you saying? That I wanted this? I didn't.
00:38:41I'm just saying you can use this to your advantage. I mean, things didn't work out with you and John.
00:38:46Why not just go with the other brother?
00:38:48That is so messed up.
00:38:50He tried to assault me. Can you hear yourself?
00:38:55I've just been through something really traumatic and I won't hear any more from you.
00:38:59I can't do this with you anymore, Mum.
00:39:01Every time I think we're trying to bond, you just start making unreasonable demands and...
00:39:06Can you just leave, please?
00:39:08Fine.
00:39:09Can you just leave, please?
00:39:10Fine.
00:39:11I love you.
00:39:32Agent Motiland, Beyonce has stepped out of Harrison's style.
00:39:35This is Colin Strayed on the heels of the news that the deal with the Blackphone Corporation has finally been sealed.
00:39:41Jack Light, the woman in the photos is engaged with someone else.
00:39:56Hey.
00:39:59Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:40:05You sounded desperate. It was the least I could do.
00:40:10I know what it feels like not to be heard.
00:40:15I'm sorry about that.
00:40:18I do that because I just wanted to lash out and hurt you the same way you hurt me.
00:40:24For the hundredth time, I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:40:28Could you please get straight to the point?
00:40:30Why do you want to see me now?
00:40:32It's been weeks since you slammed your door in my face.
00:40:34I wanted to apologize because I acted unfairly.
00:40:41I was shown pictures and a live video of you with a beautiful Asian woman.
00:40:46Who? Ellis Wee?
00:40:49That's ridiculous. She's a client.
00:40:52I know that now, but at the time it seemed like you guys were much more than clients.
00:40:56And, look, trust me, I just saw you guys live.
00:41:01Who showed you those pictures and videos?
00:41:03Who wanted to tear us apart?
00:41:08It was Jack, wasn't it?
00:41:11Yes, it was Jack. He completely manipulated me.
00:41:15He had access to security footage and I completely fell for it.
00:41:21Oh, Eva.
00:41:23I realized who she was after I saw a news segment of her and her fiancé.
00:41:29Oh.
00:41:30I'm here to apologize for the unkind way I treated you.
00:41:33And I embarrassed you and...
00:41:36Can you please forgive me?
00:41:49I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you, Jack.
00:41:54Jack is a master manipulator.
00:41:57But I can't believe he got access to the security footage.
00:42:00I could sue for violation of privacy.
00:42:03I doubt the owners thought it through.
00:42:06I don't think so either, but Jack mentioned something about owing someone a favor.
00:42:11You must be so hurt.
00:42:13I'm sorry you were put in that position.
00:42:16Of course I forgive you.
00:42:18Why are you so kind to me?
00:42:21You should make me grovel. I deserve it.
00:42:23There's no point in that.
00:42:25We've wasted weeks already.
00:42:28I've missed you so much.
00:42:30I've missed you too.
00:42:39Your lips are as soft as I remember.
00:42:42I've missed yours too.
00:42:46Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:42:49I didn't do anything.
00:42:50Did anything happen between you and Jack?
00:42:52I didn't do anything.
00:42:53Did you see something?
00:42:55No, it's just...
00:42:57You were friendlier to him.
00:42:59That day at the office.
00:43:00No, nothing happened.
00:43:02Except when he tried to force himself upon me.
00:43:06It was late.
00:43:07He did what?
00:43:08It's fine.
00:43:10He didn't rape me.
00:43:11That fucking asshole!
00:43:13That son of a bitch I'm gonna fucking kill!
00:43:17Don't make excuses for him.
00:43:20What he did was fucked up.
00:43:35What the fuck's going on here?
00:43:38What the fuck does it look like, brother?
00:43:41My darling and I are just enjoying dinner together in our family home.
00:43:46Isn't that right, sweetheart?
00:43:47Yes, it is.
00:43:48Pasta is the best I've ever tasted in my life.
00:43:51Now isn't that nice?
00:43:53Jack, surely you'd like to join us?
00:43:56Join you?
00:43:57No, thank you.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00You're a loss.
00:44:03It's good to see you both have reached each other again.
00:44:06How sweet.
00:44:08You must be thrilled.
00:44:10Yes, we are in fact very thrilled.
00:44:13It only took us a short while to find each other and...
00:44:17that's how you know it's real.
00:44:19Right.
00:44:20And you've been missing work because of your...
00:44:23lover.
00:44:25No.
00:44:30I've been missing work because my boss assaulted me.
00:44:34I had to resign.
00:44:36Or maybe HR hasn't mentioned that to you yet.
00:44:39Assault?
00:44:41We both know you seduced me.
00:44:43What assault?
00:44:45And HR?
00:44:47John, she's fucking lying.
00:44:50Can you repeat that please?
00:44:52Slower this time.
00:44:54I don't think I quite heard you the first time.
00:44:57She's a...
00:44:58Eva's only here because her mummy sold her off.
00:45:03You don't know mummy told you this.
00:45:06What the hell are you talking about?
00:45:08What do you mean she sold me off?
00:45:10You don't know.
00:45:12Mama Harris put an extra clause into the claim.
00:45:16Because she wanted more money.
00:45:18What, you think she's just going to kick her daughter up the social ladder?
00:45:22No, no, no.
00:45:23She was only going to prove your father gave something in return.
00:45:27You're lying!
00:45:36Am I lying?
00:45:38Am I lying?
00:45:40Maybe you should ask her yourself.
00:45:41It's not the first time she's had Blackthorn money stuffed in her pocket.
00:45:47Did she surprise you with a visit?
00:45:51Yeah, she did.
00:45:53So that was you, you pushed it on me.
00:45:56My lips are sealed.
00:45:59When did you become such a terrible person, Jack?
00:46:03You're destroying the relationship between a mother and a daughter just to get what you want.
00:46:08She's already made her choice.
00:46:09Eva has chosen me just as I have chosen her.
00:46:13It's over, Jack.
00:46:15No, no.
00:46:18It's not over.
00:46:28Please say something.
00:46:31I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry we've put you through so much.
00:46:36You didn't ask for any of this.
00:46:38And I'm sorry that your mother hasn't been honest with you.
00:46:42That revelation about her must have hurt so much.
00:46:46I wondered why she just pushed Jack's assault to me on the side.
00:46:53She just...
00:46:55She didn't seem to care about the trauma I went through.
00:46:59She just told me, look on the bright side.
00:47:05It's crazy that she pushed Jack onto me after what he did.
00:47:11I've been so stupid.
00:47:15Don't say that.
00:47:17You're kind, and smart, and good.
00:47:21And vulnerable.
00:47:23And I'm sorry.
00:47:24You're kind, and smart, and good.
00:47:28And vulnerable to people trying to take advantage of you.
00:47:37What are you doing?
00:47:41Will you marry me?
00:47:47Will you marry me?
00:47:50Yes, yes, Junior.
00:47:55Yes.
00:48:00Now we can finally put an end to all of this bullshit with my brother.
00:48:05I can't wait to see the look on his face when we tell him we're engaged.
00:48:09He's going to be furious.
00:48:12Okay, but we have to tell the lawyer about what's happened.
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:20But first, we need to celebrate.
00:48:22And you're going to be my lovely wife, Eva.
00:48:26Cheers to us.
00:48:28Cheers.
00:48:39What the heavenly fuck?
00:48:45We'll see about this.
00:48:48When can I see you? It's urgent.
00:48:51When are you available?
00:48:53Yes, it's about the will.
00:48:55I'll come by as soon as I can.
00:48:57No, John doesn't need to know about this. It's none of his concern.
00:49:08You got yourself into this, and the only way out for you is to hold up your end of the bargain.
00:49:13My end of the bargain?
00:49:15You tampered with the contract, and now everything is messed up.
00:49:17My daughter won't even speak to me now.
00:49:20You can't just...
00:49:24What was that? She just flew out of here.
00:49:28Um, that's confidential.
00:49:31Yeah, yeah, of course it is.
00:49:33Man, whoever that was, she was pissed.
00:49:35You said you had something to tell me. Something about the will?
00:49:38I have news.
00:49:40Please, sit.
00:49:42This is going to blow everything up in the air.
00:49:44Yes, yes, I'm listening. I want to contest my father's will.
00:49:47What?
00:49:49Well, he signed it, and he was forced by Anna Harris. Probably under duress.
00:49:52What?
00:49:54Well, until this gets cleared up, the will stands. If I have to sue John over it, so be it.
00:50:04Oh, Jack.
00:50:06What's so fucking funny?
00:50:08The contract your father signed with Anna Harris was not signed under duress.
00:50:13How can you be so sure of my private investigation?
00:50:14I'm not sure because I was there when it was signed. It was your father's idea to begin with.
00:50:19But that's... it's not possible. It can't be.
00:50:23But why would my father sign a contract?
00:50:26He knew Anna Harris wanted money for her incentive.
00:50:29But he also made sure she had a reason to stay involved even after the money was paid to her.
00:50:36What reason?
00:50:38Your father was a smart man, though not unkind.
00:50:41He didn't get so wealthy by being a pushover.
00:50:45He included a clause in the contract that stipulated that if Angeline did not marry one of his sons, Anna would have to repay the money.
00:50:53Let me guess. Anna didn't know about that before she signed?
00:50:56She did not. Foolishly, she did not read the fine print.
00:51:00Your father left an apology note and me to explain exactly why he did what he did.
00:51:07Fuck.
00:51:09Jack Blackthorn.
00:51:11This is neither the time nor the place for that kind of language.
00:51:14Man, I was so close to getting this right.
00:51:18Why is my father always one step ahead? Even from the fucking grave.
00:51:23I understand you're upset. But if you had taken this to court, you would have been humiliated when it got thrown out.
00:51:28You did yourself a favor by coming to me first, son.
00:51:32I'm not your fucking son.
00:51:34You know what? This is all freaked from the start. You just want little Johnny boy to win, huh?
00:51:38Guess what? I'm not going to give over and lay on my fucking grave.
00:52:09What are you doing here?
00:52:11Where's your daughter?
00:52:13Not here.
00:52:15I told you she's not here. Are you deaf?
00:52:18Aaron's perfectly fine. Thank you very much.
00:52:21So this is where your daughter lives in this shithole.
00:52:24I guess I wish I had fucking face for free money.
00:52:27Like mother, like daughter.
00:52:29Oh, excuse me. You can't come into my daughter's place and throw insults around.
00:52:34What are you doing here anyway? You crazy. You need to get out or I'll pull in the cops.
00:52:38What? From you? I'm not even supposed to be here.
00:52:41I'm her mother. I have a key.
00:52:44It was you at the lawyer's office, wasn't it?
00:52:47You need to get out.
00:52:51You can't fuck things up with your daughter. I would have had the upper hand.
00:52:54Oh, excuse me. If you weren't such a sleazy, creepy son of a bitch, you may have stood a chance with her.
00:53:00You dirty gold digger. You're like a dirty daughter.
00:53:03Guess that boy doesn't fall too far from the tree, does he?
00:53:09Hannah, what the fuck? Say something.
00:53:12Hugh. Hugh.
00:53:15What are you saying?
00:53:17Help.
00:53:19No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:21Hannah, don't you get it? Don't hit on me.
00:53:29There's a woman that she's, she's unconscious. She's suddenly fell.
00:53:33There's a woman that she's, she's unconscious. She's suddenly fell.
00:53:39I don't know anything about medication. She's hit her head.
00:53:46Pick up the fucking phone, John. Pick it up.
00:53:52Don't fuck with me. Fuck.
00:54:03Fuck.
00:54:33I'm so gonna miss this place. Even though it's small, but I was independent and happy here.
00:54:50Don't get too comfy. We're only here to pick up your things. You're gonna love living in the mansion.
00:54:59That's weird.
00:55:01What's weird?
00:55:03Something feels off. I don't know, apartment seems cleaner than I remember.
00:55:09Maybe your mother came by. You mentioned she had a key.
00:55:12Yeah, I doubt that.
00:55:14Hannah hated this place. Cleaning's the last thing she'd do here.
00:55:18Maybe you just left it cleaner than you remember.
00:55:24Um, I'd like to bring something that you could wear. They're not sophisticated, but I like them.
00:55:31What about your toiletries?
00:55:34Good idea. I just need to pack my things from the bathroom.
00:55:46Hey, Ava. I need to go.
00:55:51What? Why?
00:55:53I've been ignoring Jack's calls, but he just sent me a message saying there's been an emergency. I need to go meet him.
00:56:00I hope he's okay. Is he still your brother or not?
00:56:03I'm sure he's fine. It's probably just a flat tire or something. I'll be back ASAP.
00:56:10Stay tuned, okay?
00:56:31Where's mum, dearie?
00:56:36Don't.
00:56:46Don't.
00:56:50You. You sent John a message.
00:56:54Yes, I did.
00:56:56What are you doing here?
00:56:57Yes, I did.
00:56:59What are you doing here? Where did you come from? Is this one of your games you're playing yet? Give me that! That's mum's!
00:57:07I'll take that, thank you.
00:57:11You didn't answer my question. What are you doing inside my apartment?
00:57:16I was unlocked and I just walked in.
00:57:18That's impossible.
00:57:20I would have heard you. Why did you text John about an emergency when he was already coming here yourself?
00:57:25What are you trying to imply, Eva? That I broke into your house or I lied to my brother?
00:57:30I'm not trying to imply anything. But something isn't adding up, I'm calling John.
00:57:35Come on, Eva. You can trust me. We're going to be family after all.
00:57:40How did you know about the engagement?
00:57:43Maybe John told you.
00:57:45No, he didn't.
00:57:48Let go of me!
00:57:49Let go of me!
00:57:51You stubborn bitch. Listen. Listen.
00:57:54No! No!
00:57:56Shut up!
00:58:00Don't say anything. Keep your mouth shut.
00:58:09Hello, brother. No, I don't know where she is.
00:58:14That mistake was a mistake. I'm out of town right now.
00:58:20Sorry, I had something in my throat. Well, wherever she is, I'm sure she'll be home soon.
00:58:34What do you want? Why are you doing this?
00:58:37I haven't figured that one out yet.
00:58:39All I do know is that my brother would do anything for you. Maybe I want to see him suffer.
00:58:44What did you do with Anna?
00:58:46Stop with fucking stupid questions!
00:58:50Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:59:00You be a good little girl now. Don't fucking move or I'll put a bullet in your head!
00:59:04I won't. I won't say anything.
00:59:07Then I'll be fucking serious.
00:59:10Whatever it is you want, I'll do it. Just watch.
00:59:14Whatever it is you want, I'll do it.
00:59:16Hmm.
00:59:18Don't do anything stupid, otherwise I'll send you to meet your mother.
00:59:21What did you just say?
00:59:23What about my mother?
00:59:25Oops. Did I say something?
00:59:27Hey! Do you know how to drive a car?
00:59:31Get in the driver's seat now.
00:59:39Yes, I understand. But this is an emergency.
00:59:41Mr. Blackthorn would appreciate it if the matter was dealt with urgently.
00:59:48I understand. Thank you.
00:59:53Is there any news yet?
00:59:55I'm afraid not. The commissioner insists that we have to wait at least 48 hours before we can declare her missing.
01:00:01Dammit. It's the same thing they told me. Can't they even pretend to care?
01:00:07You tried calling Jack again?
01:00:08He isn't answering. I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:00:11First he sends me those cryptic text messages, and now he's not answering my calls.
01:00:16Maybe he'll answer yours.
01:00:18I doubt it, but I can try just in case.
01:00:29This might be bad timing, but Jack came to see me the other day.
01:00:33He wanted to contest your father's will.
01:00:35He was, uh, ready to sue you.
01:00:38What? What do you mean he was ready to sue me?
01:00:42He believed Anna tricked your father into giving her money.
01:00:45And he wanted to prove that that may have impacted the will.
01:00:49That's preposterous. Why wasn't I told about this earlier?
01:00:53I didn't think it was important because I clarified to Jack that he was misguided.
01:00:57I should have been informed immediately. You're meant to be impartial, remember?
01:01:02Hello, Johnny boy. Frankie. What a great evening this is tonight, isn't it?
01:01:08Jack, you're so surprised, are you? Bet you didn't see this one coming out, did ya?
01:01:13Huh? Ah, ah, ah. Keep him where I can see him now.
01:01:16You don't have to do this, Jack.
01:01:18No. I've done something really bad.
01:01:21I'm sorry.
01:01:23I'm sorry.
01:01:25I'm sorry.
01:01:27I'm sorry.
01:01:28I'm sorry, Jack.
01:01:30I've done something really stupid. I can't take it back now.
01:01:33What did you do? We can work this out, just the two of us.
01:01:38He did something to my mother! Isn't that right, Jack?
01:01:41Shut up, that's not what I'm talking about!
01:01:46I found Anna's earring in my apartment and he threatened to shoot me!
01:01:51No, no, no. It's an accident.
01:01:54I didn't mean to do it. How you mean to kill her?
01:02:04It's okay. Like you said. It was just an accident. We can work this out together.
01:02:10I'm sorry man. I didn't mean to come this way. I don't want to do this anymore.
01:02:16It's okay brother. We can work this out, just the two of us, before all this craziness happened.
01:02:24No, it's not okay! You're mad at my mother!
01:02:28Eva, no!
