The Marriage Contract
Transcript
00:00:00No, Emma, this needs to stop, okay?
00:00:09I know you want me, I can feel it.
00:00:12No, I have a family, I have a wife, okay, please.
00:00:16Please, that sham of a marriage? What do you even see in her anyways?
00:00:21She is my wife.
00:00:23You and I both know that's a lie.
00:00:27We are lovers destined to be together.
00:00:31You are delusional, okay? I just...
00:00:37Eva, Eva, please, no, this isn't what it seems, okay?
00:00:42It's not what it looks like.
00:00:44Darling, I assure you, it's exactly what you think it is.
00:00:48He's been deceiving you this whole time.
00:00:51I am his true love.
00:00:53No, she's lying to you, okay? I can explain.
00:00:56You know what? Save it. You two can have each other.
00:01:02What the fuck did you just do?
00:01:04But you didn't have the boss, Till.
00:01:07So, aren't you even a little bit curious why I called you here?
00:01:22It's gonna be the same as always. You're gonna berate me about my partying, drinking, I don't know, excess spending.
00:01:29Just hurry up and get it over with. I have a party to plan.
00:01:33There's a lot about your lifestyle I can complain about and I don't agree with.
00:01:38And if you put your mobile phone down long enough, I can explain.
00:01:43Now!
00:01:45Okay, I'm sorry, Dad.
00:01:50You're my only son and everything I achieved is based on hard work, sacrifice and determination.
00:01:57And it's time for you to do the same.
00:02:00Here, take this out.
00:02:06What's this?
00:02:07It's the picture and the contact of your future wife-to-be.
00:02:11She's the only daughter of Mr. Martin Dubois. He owns half of Paris.
00:02:17My...my what? No!
00:02:22Is this some kind of a joke?
00:02:25I don't ever remember saying that I needed a wife.
00:02:28You never had to, but now it's time for you to do what I want.
00:02:32No, this is some kind of a joke and I'm not playing, okay?
00:02:37I've got a party to go to, so I'll send you some pictures. Au revoir!
00:02:42Hey, one more step, son, huh? And you're no longer my son.
00:02:47What?
00:02:50What?
00:03:03Oi.
00:03:05Good luck, man.
00:03:10Oi.
00:03:12What was that for?
00:03:13I didn't ask you to come here so I could sit and watch you look at waitresses. I want to talk to you.
00:03:18I'm sorry. Talk.
00:03:21Well, my dad wants me to marry this girl. I don't know her. It's all part of some family ritual.
00:03:27Hmm.
00:03:28Sax, you should do something about it.
00:03:31Honestly, why do I even bother with you?
00:03:33I'm so sorry.
00:03:34What the fuck?
00:03:35This is custom made, you class. Do you even know how much it's worth?
00:03:38I'll grab something to clean it up.
00:03:39What the fuck?
00:03:40You know I've had a crush on her for weeks now.
00:03:41Oh, yeah, okay, like you don't have a crush on absolutely everyone.
00:03:42Hey, I'm serious about this one. It's too shy to say anything.
00:03:44Hey, I'll make you a bet. Use some of that bastion charm, win her over.
00:03:46I'll give you my Chevy.
00:03:47I'll give you my Chevy.
00:03:48I'm sorry.
00:03:49I'm sorry.
00:03:50I'm sorry.
00:03:51I'm sorry.
00:03:52What the fuck?
00:03:53This is custom made, you class. Do you even know how much it's worth?
00:03:56I'll grab something to clean it up.
00:03:58What the fuck?
00:03:59You know I've had a crush on her for weeks now.
00:04:01Oh, yeah, okay, like you don't have a crush on absolutely everyone.
00:04:04Hey, I'm serious about this one. It's too shy to say anything.
00:04:08Hey, I'll make you a bet. Use some of that bastion charm, win her over.
00:04:13I'll give you my Chevy. Deal?
00:04:20I'm so sorry.
00:04:22Drinks are on the house.
00:04:24Actually, I have a different idea for compensation.
00:04:27My friend here, he wants to fuck you.
00:04:30So how much do you charge per night?
00:04:32Excuse me?
00:04:34Well, it's not much by the looks of it, is it?
00:04:43What the fuck was that back there?
00:04:45You're supposed to be helping me instead of blowing any chance you got.
00:04:49Well, you asked for that bastion charm, didn't you?
00:04:52Yeah, and I think you might be losing your touch.
00:04:56Whatever. Okay, I'm leaving. Are you coming?
00:04:59No. We've got to fix this mess you started.
00:05:02That's it.
00:05:03Okay, well, have fun and thanks for nothing.
00:05:07Huh.
00:05:08Huh.
00:05:09Huh.
00:05:10Huh.
00:05:11Huh.
00:05:12Huh.
00:05:13Huh.
00:05:17Huh.
00:05:22Huh.
00:05:34Huh.
00:05:35Huh.
00:05:36I could have crashed, I could have died, people like you should have your license revoked.
00:05:54Philippe Bastien, aren't you the sight for the sore eyes?
00:05:59Emma?
00:06:00Of all the people I could have crashed in Paris, what are the odds?
00:06:08Hey, hey I was wondering if-
00:06:13Get away from me, Grief!
00:06:15Or call the police!
00:06:18Oh, I assure you this is worse than fate.
00:06:21You again?
00:06:22I've heard this shit hurts, but I didn't think it would stain this bad.
00:06:27Why don't you sneak up on me like that?
00:06:30I thought it was a mugger or something.
00:06:32Oh, I guess I deserved that.
00:06:36What are you doing here?
00:06:38Are you stalking me or something?
00:06:40No, no, nothing like that.
00:06:44I wanted to apologize for the things my friend said.
00:06:47He can be an asshole sometime.
00:06:49You tell me.
00:06:51Okay, let's get inside, try to wash off some of the pepper spray, okay?
00:07:03I should have known that this boy is just too stubborn to follow the instructions.
00:07:09He's just the spitting image of his mother.
00:07:13Or maybe he just reminds me too much of myself.
00:07:17I don't know.
00:07:21Oh my god.
00:07:23This comes far too early.
00:07:25I thought I would have more time for this.
00:07:29Hello?
00:07:31It is time for the eclipse.
00:07:34You understand?
00:07:35Yes, I understand.
00:07:37Of course.
00:07:38We have business to discuss, but for obvious reasons we can't do it on the phone.
00:07:44Yes, yes.
00:07:45Meet me at the lion's den and don't be followed.
00:07:48Well, you think I'm stupid or what?
00:07:50Oh my god, I cannot allow this boy to ruin the name of our family.
00:08:00I just cannot.
00:08:13Oh, thanks.
00:08:16Well, it does feel a little better.
00:08:18I guess it will just ease over time.
00:08:22Cut the crap.
00:08:23You are not standing there outside all the time,
00:08:26just because you wanted to apologize for your friend's actions.
00:08:29Tell me why you're here and don't lie to me.
00:08:33Okay, you caught me.
00:08:36The truth is I have had a crush on you for some time and I
00:08:40was always too shy to talk to you and the opportunity presented itself and well...
00:08:46Is it another joke of you and your friend?
00:08:48Because I still have some peppers for you.
00:08:50No, no, no, you have to believe me.
00:08:51Please, what?
00:08:51What do you think you're doing?
00:09:17You just go around and kissing strangers?
00:09:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:09:23I don't know what came over me.
00:09:24I think you should leave.
00:09:27I think you should leave.
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:30No, I, um, you and I, I know we didn't exactly get off on the right foot,
00:09:35but I would like a second opportunity to make things better, to take you out on a date.
00:09:40If you'd like, maybe, um, please.
00:09:42All right, I'll think about it.
00:09:46That's good enough for me.
00:09:50I didn't get your name.
00:09:51Eva.
00:09:52Oh, of all the people I could have crashed in Paris, what are the odds?
00:10:01I haven't seen you in... in, like, forever.
00:10:19I, um, I, I, uh, you look amazing.
00:10:28You look too bad yourself.
00:10:33You naughty dog.
00:10:39You haven't changed a bit, haven't you?
00:10:41You're one to talk.
00:10:42I bet you're not even wearing underwear.
00:10:43Oh, guilty as charged.
00:10:45Wouldn't you rather go somewhere more private?
00:10:48More private?
00:10:49What's wrong?
00:10:50I thought you liked living on the edge.
00:10:51Well, my new boyfriend doesn't like when I'm being promiscuous.
00:10:55Imagine how he would feel if he sees another sexting.
00:10:58I mean, we can talk about it, but would you wanna fuck my brains out first?
00:11:10Ah, touche.
00:11:12Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:11:22Wait, so what brings you back in town this time?
00:11:24Last time I heard you were in the Maldives.
00:11:26And, uh, wait, what's with this new boyfriend?
00:11:29If you must know your nosy runt, he's a very old and wealthy businessman.
00:11:36Actually, he has a very crucial billion dollar deal with SDR and pharmaceuticals.
00:11:43And he was gracious enough to ask me to close it for him.
00:11:47Does the name William Ford sound familiar to you?
00:11:52Oh, fuck.
00:11:55Oh, the Wilson account.
00:11:57I'm so screwed.
00:12:01Judging by your silence, I resume you do.
00:12:05Oh, we're gonna have so much fun together.
00:12:20Hello, papa.
00:12:28My bijou, how are you doing?
00:12:31I'm fine.
00:12:31Just locking up for the day.
00:12:33Locking up?
00:12:34You're still out at this time?
00:12:35You don't even have a security detail.
00:12:38You're Martin Dubois' only daughter of Paris.
00:12:40There's a lot of people that will cause you harm.
00:12:42Well, papa, as long as no one around here knows that I'm the only daughter of the Martin Dubois of Paris, I'd be fine.
00:12:51My bijou, why do you keep doing this? You have the entire world at your feet.
00:12:58Let's not do this again. We've had this conversation a million times. I don't want anything.
00:13:04You at least want to come visit your papa who misses you desperately.
00:13:08Of course I do, papa. I'll come see you tomorrow.
00:13:11That would be delightful.
00:13:25My dear, I need to let you go. I have pressing matters I need to deal with.
00:13:28Hello there, old friend.
00:13:36You came?
00:13:37Yes, of course. You summoned on me. How could I not?
00:13:41I recognize this isn't the way we normally communicate.
00:13:45I thought of Senator Raven, but it seemed a little old-fashioned even for us.
00:13:49Please.
00:13:51It's pressing matters to discuss, so shall we?
00:13:54Go ahead.
00:13:58Would you care for a drink?
00:14:01Really?
00:14:03Don't worry. If I wanted you dead, I would have done it already.
00:14:07Is that a threat, old friend?
00:14:09No, just a statement of fact.
00:14:12Okay, well, then.
00:14:15As you're aware, our families need to fulfill the union and connect them together, the promise we made decades ago.
00:14:24I'm very aware of that, but that's not why you called me here, no?
00:14:33Our colleagues have become concerned about the extravagant lifestyle of your son.
00:14:41They're wondering if you can stay out of the limelight.
00:14:44So basically, you want to know if I'm able to control my son?
00:14:48Mere speculation, that's all.
00:14:52Yeah, don't worry about our family.
00:14:54Philip will fall in line.
00:14:55Good.
00:14:58But, um, what about your daughter?
00:15:00I heard she prefers a more simple lifestyle these days, like a coffee shop attendant.
00:15:08Huh?
00:15:09According to your reaction, you were not aware of it, huh?
00:15:13Were you?
00:15:14We don't need to worry about my daughter.
00:15:19My daughter listens to her father.
00:15:23Okay, good then.
00:15:25Hope so.
00:15:33It feels like everything's going to shit all at once.
00:15:36I need to get it together.
00:15:37You are not going to believe what happened yesterday.
00:15:44I landed a date.
00:15:47Who'd be stupid enough to date you?
00:15:49You know what?
00:15:50I am in such a good mood that I am going to choose to ignore that.
00:15:53And for your information, it was the girl from the coffee shop.
00:15:57The bland girl from the coffee shop.
00:15:59Can you date, like, a model or an actress?
00:16:01Someone hot?
00:16:02You know what?
00:16:03Not everyone has the same type as you, Philip.
00:16:05What's wrong with you, anyway?
00:16:07You look like crap.
00:16:08You're crankier than usual.
00:16:09Everything all right?
00:16:12No.
00:16:13My father's in town.
00:16:14He wants me to do this marriage contract.
00:16:17And to make it worse, she's in town.
00:16:21She?
00:16:22Yeah, my ex-girlfriend.
00:16:24Emma?
00:16:25Emma.
00:16:26You mean the one who broke up with you, smashed your heart to pieces,
00:16:29and ran off with that Asian billionaire?
00:16:32I'm glad the drinking hasn't affected your memory.
00:16:35Again, I'm going to choose to ignore that.
00:16:38What's the problem, anyway?
00:16:40Didn't you two break up a long time ago?
00:16:42My relationship with Emma is complicated, okay?
00:16:48She's overseeing one of the biggest contracts of my entire career.
00:16:53Okay, and?
00:16:55And Emma's manipulative.
00:16:56She's calculated.
00:16:57She's self-centered.
00:16:59She's going to find a way to use it against me, and she's going to mess it up.
00:17:05Is that so?
00:17:12Is that so?
00:17:15Emma, what are you doing here?
00:17:17I got a call from your company informing me that I can take office up here.
00:17:23That's until the contract is sealed, because I will be taking a supervisory role.
00:17:29So I decided to come find you and share the happy news.
00:17:33Imagine my surprise when I overheard you saying all those hurtful things about me.
00:17:38Um, I'm going to give you guys some space.
00:17:43See you later, Philip.
00:17:44See you.
00:17:51Emma, I didn't mean any of those things.
00:17:54Oh, I know you did.
00:17:57And you know what?
00:18:03We're going to have a lot of fun with this.
00:18:05What do you mean?
00:18:07Don't you worry.
00:18:08You'll see.
00:18:16Fuck!
00:18:17Hey, Eva!
00:18:23What are you doing here?
00:18:25Time to take you out on our date.
00:18:27I didn't agree to that.
00:18:28I just said that I'll think about it.
00:18:31Well, have you?
00:18:32I'm not leaving without an answer.
00:18:35That's all very sweet, but I can't do it now.
00:18:38I need to see my father.
00:18:40Maybe next time.
00:18:47I need to see my father.
00:18:59Dubois Enterprises.
00:19:02Interesting.
00:19:08Papa, you have to eat.
00:19:10Your meal is getting cold.
00:19:13I'm sorry, my bijou.
00:19:14I just, I haven't seen you in so long.
00:19:17Come on, don't be so dramatic.
00:19:20It hasn't been that long.
00:19:23So, are you seeing anyone?
00:19:27No.
00:19:29Nothing serious.
00:19:30Why?
00:19:31Do you want to find my husband?
00:19:34Well, now that you mention it,
00:19:35I would like to have my grandchildren before I pass.
00:19:39I understand, but I'm not focused on marriage right now.
00:19:43I have too much going on.
00:19:47Are you okay?
00:19:49I'm fine, but what could be more important than this?
00:19:55Can we drop the topic?
00:19:57I really don't want to talk about it right now.
00:20:00Why must you always define me on this?
00:20:02First, you won't be part of the business.
00:20:04You won't use your trust fund.
00:20:06I hear you're working at a coffee shop.
00:20:08Please stop it.
00:20:10It's my life.
00:20:11I can make my own decisions.
00:20:13No, no, this, this is final.
00:20:16This is my decision.
00:20:17You have to get married.
00:20:18You know what?
00:20:21It's getting late, and I'll have to work tomorrow.
00:20:24So, good night, papa.
00:20:26Eva, please, wait.
00:20:28You seem a bit distant.
00:20:41I asked how you're meeting with your father when.
00:20:57It was okay.
00:21:00I'm just glad you agreed to finally go out with me.
00:21:07Look, I know we haven't seen each other that long, and we're just getting to know each other,
00:21:11but I have a confession to make.
00:21:14Ever since the moment I've met you, I can't stop thinking about you.
00:21:18I close my eyes, you're there.
00:21:19Open them, you're still there.
00:21:21I see you day and night, and I think I'm falling in love with you, and I want to marry you.
00:21:29Eva, say something.
00:21:32My father would have to do this, did I hear?
00:21:35What, your father?
00:21:36No, I'm being genuine.
00:21:38I knew it was a mistake.
00:21:39I don't want to see you ever again.
00:21:42Eva, wait.
00:21:43I'm not interested in any form of marriage.
00:21:45What?
00:21:46What the fuck?
00:21:49Why did you say that?
00:21:57I have to go right there.
00:21:58Eva, wait.
00:22:00Eva, wait.
00:22:09Michael Stanford, may I have a word?
00:22:12I assure you, you're going to want to hear this.
00:22:14Get your fucking hands off me.
00:22:16Who the fuck are you, and how do you know my name?
00:22:19I'm nobody, but I know everybody's name.
00:22:21You're one of those sickos then, aren't you?
00:22:24Don't talk to me again unless you want me to call the cops, man.
00:22:28Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:22:30Do you live in Phillip's shadow for the rest of your life?
00:22:32Do you always want to be number two?
00:22:34All right.
00:22:37I'm sick of this shit, man.
00:22:39You better start talking if you don't want to lose a limb by the time the cops get here.
00:22:43Whoa, we're allies.
00:22:45We're allies.
00:22:46I'm a friend.
00:22:46I take down guys like this for a living.
00:22:49Yeah?
00:22:50And what the fuck are you talking about?
00:22:52I'm talking about the Bastion Pharmaceuticals.
00:22:55How they became the biggest pharmaceutical company in the whole of France.
00:22:58I'm talking about you finally getting revenge on Phillip Bastion and his family.
00:23:03I'm talking about you getting revenge for your deceased parents.
00:23:09What the hell do you know about my parents?
00:23:11This is neither the time nor the place.
00:23:14How about you just give me a call when you want to hear more?
00:23:19How about you?
00:23:20How about you?
00:23:25What the fuck?
00:23:26Hello, darling. I've been trying to reach you for days. How are you?
00:23:51Papa, I want to ask you a question. Please don't lie to me.
00:23:56Lie to you? I would never. You know this.
00:24:00Yes, I do. That's why I want to ask you. Did you hire a man to ask me out on a date?
00:24:08What man? I don't know anything of it. Are you in trouble?
00:24:12No, Papa, I'm fine. I guess it's just a coincidence that a man asked me out on a date, out of a sudden, and asked me to marry him.
00:24:21My Bijou, I don't understand any of this. Please, just come home.
00:24:25I promise, Papa, I'll come back home, but not tonight. I have to clear my head a bit.
00:24:32Okay, my love. You let me know if you need anything.
00:24:34Thank you, Papa. Goodbye.
00:24:51Line?
00:24:51Hello, old friend.
00:24:55Why would you not inform me that the first contact has been made?
00:24:58First contact?
00:25:00Has your son not reached out to my daughter?
00:25:03Not that I know of.
00:25:05Then who was it?
00:25:06You did what?
00:25:19I asked her to marry me.
00:25:23Stop, it's not funny.
00:25:27Okay.
00:25:29Okay, okay.
00:25:31I'll stop.
00:25:32But dude,
00:25:33that's pathetic.
00:25:34Okay, asking a girl to marry you?
00:25:36I know, I messed up, alright.
00:25:39I didn't come here so you could rub it in, though.
00:25:41I came for your help.
00:25:43I need your help to fix this.
00:25:45Me?
00:25:46What the fuck do you want me to do?
00:25:48I've got enough problems on my own.
00:25:50Come on, you...
00:25:51Come on.
00:25:53You're a lady's man.
00:25:54How would you use some of that charm to fix this?
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:01I have an idea, but...
00:26:03I don't think you're gonna like it.
00:26:04I don't care.
00:26:05I'll do anything.
00:26:08Anything.
00:26:16No one must be allowed to disrupt a union.
00:26:18Nobody.
00:26:19Or else we could risk incurring the wrath of the club.
00:26:22You don't want that, do you?
00:26:23Certainly not.
00:26:25Philip will do what needs to be done.
00:26:28Since your spies are already following my daughter,
00:26:30have them find out who this unknown suitor is.
00:26:33I will have some of my men investigate the situation.
00:26:38Give whoever it is a discreet but stern warning.
00:26:42And if he doesn't back down, you know what to do.
00:26:45Yes, I do.
00:26:46Son, we have to talk.
00:27:08You'll let me bounce you this way to work.
00:27:10Oh, God.
00:27:16Not today.
00:27:22What in God's mind you think you're doing?
00:27:24You think this is funny?
00:27:25What?
00:27:27No, it's not funny.
00:27:28It's just supposed to get your attention so I can apologize.
00:27:31And somehow you thought that showing up at my workplace with this placard and half of your clothing missing will do the trick?
00:27:38Um, Philip, you asshole.
00:27:43Philip?
00:27:45That's the name of your obscene friend, isn't it?
00:27:48He put you up to this.
00:27:51Look, none of that matters now.
00:27:53I just wanted to come here and get your attention so I could apologize.
00:27:57And hope that you'll forgive me and ask you out on another date.
00:28:00Um, fine.
00:28:04But please, get out of here before anyone else sees you like this.
00:28:09Really?
00:28:09Okay.
00:28:10I'll pick you up once your shift ends tonight.
00:28:13I'll see you then.
00:28:14You will not regret this.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:16Okay.
00:28:30Where is he?
00:28:58So, you wanted to see me, Father?
00:29:00Yes, son.
00:29:01Have a seat.
00:29:05Well, you know, about our last meeting, I have to admit that I might have been a little too rude with you without explaining you the whole background of the story.
00:29:15Okay.
00:29:16Yeah.
00:29:17You must know, if this is not going to happen, we risk to lose everything.
00:29:23Lose everything?
00:29:25But that doesn't make any sense.
00:29:27It's business is thriving.
00:29:28Our profits are through the roof.
00:29:31It's not that simple, son.
00:29:33There are things beyond of that.
00:29:36I just...
00:29:37Answer me one thing.
00:29:40Who's in charge of this contract?
00:29:42Who wrote it?
00:29:42Who controls it?
00:29:43I cannot share this information with you.
00:29:47You just have to know that there are people who are trying to sabotage your union.
00:29:52So you better reach out quickly to your future wife.
00:29:54You see, I just don't get it.
00:30:04You asked me to come here so you can explain things to me.
00:30:09And yet, you tell me nothing.
00:30:11And you say the same thing again and again and again.
00:30:15And don't mistake my calmness with weakness, okay?
00:30:20There we go again.
00:30:22Again with the threats.
00:30:23You know what?
00:30:24If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to find things out myself.
00:30:29If you're not going to find things out there, I'm going to find things out there, I'm going to find things out there.
00:30:59Yeah, come.
00:31:00Come on.
00:31:04Dude.
00:31:06Are you okay?
00:31:07Can I get you something?
00:31:08Like an ambulance or something?
00:31:10A bottle of vodka would be nice.
00:31:13I think the last thing you need is a drink.
00:31:16Thanks.
00:31:17Funny.
00:31:18Dude, I got jumped.
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:21I'm standing waiting.
00:31:23Waiting for my fucking date.
00:31:25And these guys pull up in their van.
00:31:27Start beating the shit out of me.
00:31:29Hood me.
00:31:30I can't see anything.
00:31:31Can't see who they are.
00:31:32Only thing they said was,
00:31:34Stay away from her.
00:31:36Or next time, you won't be so lucky.
00:31:40Then they dropped me off on some freeway without my phone, my wallet.
00:31:44Only thing I could think to do was wander over here and...
00:31:47Her?
00:31:50Who the fuck is her?
00:31:53The fuck if I know.
00:31:56All I can think is Ava.
00:31:58Was on my way to pick her up for our second date.
00:32:01With that bland coffee shop, girl.
00:32:03Why would they go after you because of her?
00:32:05Would you stop calling her that for once, man?
00:32:09Oh.
00:32:09Are you okay?
00:32:14Dude, are you okay?
00:32:19No!
00:32:20Please!
00:32:20No!
00:32:21No!
00:32:22Dude!
00:32:25What the fuck?
00:32:27I'll take that ambulance.
00:32:29I'll take that ambulance.
00:32:29I'll take that ambulance out, man.
00:32:59She is the only daughter of Mr. Martin Dubois, the business magnate who owns half of Paris.
00:33:13Hey, we'll be able to have a place to hear them from the horse's mouth.
00:33:27Ma bijou! I was worried sick. Just one moment, just finishing.
00:33:31I don't know who this Ma bijou is, but it's most certainly not me, okay?
00:33:36Now, forgive me for the abrupt intrusion, Monsieur Dubois. My name is...
00:33:41Philip Bastion, the reckless son of Emil Bastion. Your name precedes you.
00:33:47Reckless? That's a choice use of words there, don't you think?
00:33:52What are you doing here? I'm assuming you're not just here to exchange pleasantries?
00:33:56You see, Monsieur, I came to seek the truth. And something tells me that you're the man to give it to me.
00:34:05You don't say. Please, have a seat.
00:34:10Well, I guess I need to get better home security if anyone can show up unannounced. Care for a drink?
00:34:20Here, don't beat yourself up about it. I can be quite resourceful when I want to be. And yeah, I'll take you up on that drink, actually.
00:34:29You know, it wasn't that long ago that your father sat in that same chair and he was rather skeptical of receiving a drink from me.
00:34:36Well, my father and I, we're different people. We see the world differently.
00:34:46So what brings you here unannounced?
00:34:49I'm sure you're aware of this marriage contract that's been drawn up against me and your daughter, Ava.
00:34:55I'm aware.
00:34:56Yeah, well, I want to know who's made this contract. Okay? I want to know why such an outdated contract has such relevance in the 21st century.
00:35:04What makes you think that I can give you that answer if your own father can't?
00:35:09I don't know, maybe shipping your daughter off to marry some man that she's never met before?
00:35:14Maybe that might be some kind of an issue to you?
00:35:18These decisions are beyond me. They're beyond all of us.
00:35:22Funny that. I've heard that before.
00:35:27Papa, what's going on here? Tell me this whole lie.
00:35:31Papa!
00:35:34You!
00:35:45I can't believe I gave him second chance and he still stood me up.
00:35:51I'm so stupid.
00:36:01Papa, what a pleasant surprise. How are you?
00:36:06I'm fine, Papa. I just want to tell you that I'm coming to the manor.
00:36:11I'll send one of the drivers right away to come pick you up. Where are you?
00:36:15That won't be necessary. I've already called a cab. I'll see you soon.
00:36:19I don't know, maybe shipping your daughter off to marry some man that she's never met before?
00:36:30Maybe that might be some kind of an issue to you?
00:36:33What? A contract marriage? Papa would never...
00:36:38These decisions are beyond me. They're beyond all of us.
00:36:41This can't be happening. This can't be happening.
00:36:49Funny that. I've heard that before.
00:36:54Papa, what's going on here? Tell me this whole lie.
00:36:59You?
00:37:01I see you two are already acquainted.
00:37:04Papa, what's going on here? And what's this ape of a man doing here?
00:37:08Ape! You should look at the mirror before you start throwing stones, love.
00:37:13My bijou, please, I can explain-
00:37:14Don't call me that. Just answer my question. Who is this man?
00:37:19I'd hope you wouldn't find out this way. This man is your husband-to-be.
00:37:25So it's true then. You've been lying to me all the time. You betrayed me.
00:37:31Hey, I'm not exactly thrilled about this either.
00:37:34Shut the fuck up. I'm not talking to you.
00:37:36Oh, wow. The bland girl's got an attitude now, yeah?
00:37:40What did you say?
00:37:41Hey, hey, hey, hey. But please, please, please.
00:37:42We don't need to resort to violence and name-calling.
00:37:46We have to find a way to get along.
00:37:48Get away from me. I can't even stand you right now.
00:37:52Let alone this arrogant piece of shit.
00:37:55Ava, please, wait!
00:37:57Well, that was a shit show.
00:37:58I'll just leave too, okay? But if you see my father, don't tell him about this, okay? He tends to get a bit overdramatic.
00:38:06You're still here. I thought you'd be long gone by now.
00:38:21I don't see how that's any of your business.
00:38:24Didn't drive here, did you?
00:38:25Thanks for pointing it out, Captain Opus.
00:38:29You know, if you weren't such a bitch, maybe I'd offer you a ride home or a ride out of here.
00:38:33I'll ride out of here.
00:38:56You can stop staring at my breasts now.
00:38:58I wasn't staring.
00:39:00Anyway, what's the daughter of a Martin Dubois doing working in a coffee shop?
00:39:06Again, I don't see how this is any of your business.
00:39:09I mean, since we're due to be married, I think we should get to know each other a little bit.
00:39:14You're delusional if you think that I would ever get married to someone like you.
00:39:19Hey, you're not exactly my type either, but it seems like we don't really have a choice in this, do we?
00:39:24I always have a choice.
00:39:29What is this bullshit?
00:39:30Fuck!
00:39:31Why would they do this?
00:39:32Fuck!
00:39:33Emma!
00:39:34What is this bullshit?
00:39:35Fuck!
00:39:36Why would they do this?
00:39:37Fuck!
00:39:38Emma!
00:39:39What is the meaning of all this?
00:39:40What is this bullshit?
00:39:41What is this bullshit?
00:39:42Fuck!
00:39:43Why would they do this?
00:39:44Fuck!
00:39:45Emma!
00:39:46So nice of you finally dropped by, can you be more specific about your accusations?
00:39:53Emma!
00:40:07Emma! What is the meaning of all this?
00:40:09Philip darling, so nice of you to finally drop by.
00:40:13Can you be more specific about your accusations?
00:40:16Okay, well I've just received an email from the Wilson account
00:40:19and they cancelled the deal and it's got your fingerprints all over it!
00:40:23Oh, that, yes. Discharged.
00:40:26You're not even going to deny it?
00:40:28What was the point in denying the obvious?
00:40:34Emma, Emma. Why'd you do it?
00:40:38Well, as you know, it gets a little bit too lonely here.
00:40:42And you've been busy, so I needed to find a way to get your attention.
00:40:49Emma, this could ruin my whole career.
00:40:56Darling, please. You're Philip Bastian. Your whole life is made for.
00:41:04You just want the whole glory so daddy would be proud of you.
00:41:08I tell you what, if you keep me happy, I will put in a good war for you with my boyfriend.
00:41:14Keep you happy?
00:41:19Hmm, mm-hmm. For starters, we can put that flapping tongue of yours in good use.
00:41:27You might want to get on your knees.
00:41:29Yes, yes, of course. We handle everything. No worries. Of course.
00:41:41Oh, I think I have to call you back, Senator. Just a moment, okay?
00:41:48Monsieur de Rois, what a surprise! Who takes you here?
00:41:51Well, after your son gave me a similar surprise, I figured I'd return the favor.
00:41:55My son? Philip came to visit you?
00:41:59In bold fashion, no less. Seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
00:42:04Okay, then come in, have a seat.
00:42:06Oh, there's no need. I'm just here to deliver a simple message.
00:42:09A message?
00:42:11I've received word that the senior members plan to act against us if we do not fulfill the contract.
00:42:16What? They wouldn't dare!
00:42:19You know better than to trust the loyalty of men.
00:42:22These vultures will stop at nothing to derail our plans.
00:42:26We can't leave them in any room. We have to fulfill the contract.
00:42:30Yeah, maybe they're right. So, what do you suggest?
00:42:34Philip and my daughter need to marry within the week, and then a public announcement will follow.
00:42:40How could this be possible? They haven't even met.
00:42:43Oh, but they have. I insured it.
00:42:46Really? Okay, then let's go to the next phase of the plan.
00:42:50Soon we will seal our position at the top.
00:42:53Oh, that's where I want to be, brother. Sounds good.
00:42:56You aren't going to answer that?
00:43:12Welcome to Ava's Cafe. What can I bring you?
00:43:16Eva, I know you're pissed at me, but please hear me out.
00:43:19Sir, if you're not ordering anything, I suggest you to leave.
00:43:23Fine, I'll have a cappuccino then.
00:43:24Eva, please. It's just been a misunderstanding.
00:43:28Surely you've listened to me and we'll work something out. You can understand.
00:43:31Would it be all, sir?
00:43:34Please let me explain.
00:43:36Take your hands off me. Otherwise I'll get you arrested for the assault.
00:43:39Hey!
00:43:40Look, I've been in the hospital for days. I'm covered in cuts and bruises and...
00:43:41Is it another practical joke of you and your friend? I don't want to have anything related to you.
00:43:45I'm telling you the truth. It's not fake.
00:43:46It's impossible. All you man can do is lie.
00:43:47Why are you acting like this?
00:43:48Why are you acting like this?
00:43:49I suggest you to leave.
00:43:50And you should talk to your friend, Philippe.
00:43:51And you should talk to your friend, Philippe.
00:43:52He might be hiding something from you.
00:43:53He might be hiding something from you.
00:43:54Are you talking about hiding something?
00:43:55No, I don't want to.
00:43:56I don't want to be a friend, Philippe.
00:43:57Are you talking about hiding something from you?
00:43:58No, I'm not sure.
00:43:59Are you talking about hiding something from you?
00:44:00No, I'm not sure.
00:44:01I've been in the hospital for days and covered in cuts and bruises and...
00:44:02Is this another practical joke of you and your friend?
00:44:03I don't want to have anything related to you.
00:44:06I'm telling you the truth.
00:44:07It's not fake.
00:44:08It's impossible.
00:44:09All you man can do is lie.
00:44:10Why are you acting like this?
00:44:14I suggest you to leave.
00:44:16And you should talk to your friend, Philippe.
00:44:19He might be hiding something from you.
00:44:21Are you talking about hiding something?
00:44:24Goodbye.
00:44:32I suggest you to leave.
00:44:34And you should talk to your friend to leave.
00:44:36He might be hiding something from you.
00:44:40Philip, I need to talk to you about...
00:44:52Please tell me that wasn't Emma.
00:44:55Dude, I wish I could, but...
00:44:58I don't know, she's just gonna toy with my emotions and break my heart again.
00:45:03You didn't look like you were complaining.
00:45:06She's gonna run off, okay?
00:45:08She always does.
00:45:11Hey, actually...
00:45:13It's nice to see you up and about.
00:45:16You wanted to talk about something?
00:45:18Thanks.
00:45:19Yeah, I went to see Ava again on my way over here.
00:45:24I'm not gonna lie, man, she's real pissed.
00:45:26So she never wants to see me again.
00:45:29I'm sorry, man.
00:45:31But hey, you can just get over her.
00:45:34There's plenty more fish in the sea.
00:45:36That's the thing, I don't think I can.
00:45:38I'm obsessed.
00:45:40I can't just walk away even if I end up in the hospital again.
00:45:45Dude...
00:45:46She sounds like trouble, okay?
00:45:50She also said you might be hiding something from me.
00:45:54Huh?
00:45:56Oh, crap!
00:45:58I'm gonna be late for a meeting with my dad.
00:46:01Let's catch up soon.
00:46:03I'm in!
00:46:08Sorry, I know I'm late.
00:46:09I've been caught up with work.
00:46:11This is a quarterly meeting.
00:46:12I'm terribly, terribly sorry.
00:46:14Honestly, big mistake.
00:46:16Yeah, that would explain the red lipstick strains.
00:46:20Oh.
00:46:23Have a seat, son.
00:46:24We're not here to discuss about that evening.
00:46:28So, Monsieur Dubois tells me that you paid him a surprise visit.
00:46:33Did you?
00:46:36Somehow, I should have seen this coming.
00:46:38Yeah, you should.
00:46:39So, I'm gonna ask you one question and I need a precise answer, please.
00:46:44You feel satisfaction by blaming me in front of my business partners?
00:46:49Showing them that I have no control over my own son?
00:46:57Yeah, answer me!
00:46:58I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention, okay?
00:47:05You were forthcoming with your answers and I thought I would get better answers out of him.
00:47:10It's enough.
00:47:11I might have gone a little soft with you since your mother passed away, but that's over now.
00:47:17Disobey me one more time and you lose everything.
00:47:20All your money, all your titles.
00:47:22You will be like a worthless dog on the streets.
00:47:25Again with the threats.
00:47:26You will not speak to me like this again, you insolent child.
00:47:31It's enough.
00:47:33Am I clear?
00:47:56You will not speak to me like this again.
00:47:58Anonymous.
00:48:02Awe!
00:48:10Awe!
00:48:11Awe!
00:48:12Awe!
00:48:13Awe!
00:48:15Awe!
00:48:16Awe!
00:48:17Awe!
00:48:19Awe!
00:48:20Awe!
00:48:21Awe!
00:48:22Awe!
00:48:23Awe!
00:48:24I'm flattered you thought of me first, but this isn't exactly my fault, Tim.
00:48:37I didn't ask you here to come clean up. I've got cleaners for that, okay?
00:48:42I... I want someone to talk to.
00:48:46That isn't exactly how we do things, but sure, what do you want to talk about?
00:48:51Come on.
00:48:54See, my life's just been a mess. I don't know, like, everything's just going wrong, everything's all over the shop, and ever since this burglary, it's just...
00:49:04I'm sure the police will find who did this eventually.
00:49:07It's not about the burglary. You see, my dad wants me to get married to some girl, and I don't want to get married to some girl I don't know.
00:49:16Okay, so what are you saying?
00:49:17Well, I guess what I'm saying is, Em, you see me.
00:49:27You see me for all of me, and we get along so well, and...
00:49:33I guess what I'm saying is, I want something... I want something more serious with you.
00:49:42Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy there.
00:49:45I think you're going a little bit too fast.
00:49:47I mean, what we have is sacred.
00:49:52Beauty beyond description. No strings attached.
00:49:57There is no need to doing what we have with whatever it is you're proposing.
00:50:04Em...
00:50:05I love you. I always have.
00:50:10I know, darling. I love you too.
00:50:13But too much is going on with me right now.
00:50:17Why don't we keep things just as they are, okay?
00:50:22Yeah, hey...
00:50:23Sure.
00:50:27Let's just...
00:50:29Keep things the way they are.
00:50:40Sir, wait!
00:50:53You forgot something!
00:50:56Maybe he'll return for it.
00:50:58You were warned.
00:51:13But you didn't comply.
00:51:16Now everyone connected to you will pay the ultimate price?
00:51:19Yes?
00:51:28Just when I thought that things could not get worse,
00:51:32you found a way to surprise me.
00:51:34How could you resort to such despicable tactics, Papa?
00:51:38Eva, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:41Now you're playing dumb?
00:51:42I'm talking about this.
00:51:56This is bad.
00:51:57I thought we had more time.
00:52:00Now you're at surprised.
00:52:02You sent this!
00:52:05Eva, look, I know that you hate me right now,
00:52:07but this wasn't me.
00:52:09I had no part in this.
00:52:12If you didn't send this,
00:52:14who did?
00:52:22You know what?
00:52:23I don't care.
00:52:25Whoever they are,
00:52:26they can go to hell.
00:52:27I don't care.
00:52:28No, no, no.
00:52:28Eva, listen.
00:52:29This is not something to take lightly.
00:52:31These are dangerous people.
00:52:32I can't protect you from them.
00:52:34You just say this to scare me.
00:52:37Darling, look.
00:52:38Your mother and I did everything we could to protect you.
00:52:42But there's no easy way to say it.
00:52:45In the end, I...
00:52:46I failed you.
00:52:48I failed both of you.
00:52:49These people will take everything that we built and burn it down.
00:52:59They will systematically murder everybody we care about.
00:53:03And then they'll kill us too.
00:53:04What?
00:53:05We can go to the police.
00:53:06No, they own the police.
00:53:08They own the banks,
00:53:09the government.
00:53:10They even own the military.
00:53:13So what do we do?
00:53:16I'm afraid the only solution is
00:53:18you have to marry Philip Dastien.
00:53:24I'll do it.
00:53:24Beep, beep.
00:53:40Huh?
00:53:40What the fuck?
00:53:54You have been warned.
00:53:58Nobody is safe.
00:54:02Huh?
00:54:10What can I bring you?
00:54:12A black coffee, please.
00:54:15What are you doing here?
00:54:17What, did you miss me or something?
00:54:19Again with the jokes?
00:54:20Do you have a stop?
00:54:21It seems all the choice has been taken out in my life
00:54:26and I'm being forced
00:54:27to marry
00:54:28you.
00:54:38I see you receive it too.
00:54:41So what are we going to do?
00:54:43I don't have choice either.
00:54:46I can't spend the rest of my life
00:54:48watching over my shoulder
00:54:49and waiting for some mysterious man in black
00:54:52killing me
00:54:53and everybody
00:54:54I know.
00:54:58So we're doing this?
00:55:00As painful as it sounds,
00:55:02yeah.
00:55:05Seems like I'm going to need something
00:55:07a lot stronger than coffee.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:19Phillip, you backstabbing
00:55:39son of a bitch.
00:55:40How could you?
00:55:44This isn't over.
00:55:46This isn't over.
00:55:47Welcome to your new home,
00:55:56Mrs. Bastine.
00:55:58I'm going to get a drink.
00:56:01I can't breathe in this thing.
00:56:06Here.
00:56:07Let me help you.
00:56:09I can hear myself.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:17Hold on.
00:56:31Now give me this.
00:56:36Do you have more?
00:56:37Let's get you down to bed.
00:56:47No, Papa.
00:56:48I don't want to sleep now.
00:56:50I want to stay with you.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:52Yeah.
00:56:52There's definitely some daddy issues going on there.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:58You know,
00:56:59Lady Bastine,
00:57:00you're not such a terrible looker.
00:57:02Oh, okay.
00:57:05That's the drink talking.
00:57:06So let's go to sleep.
00:57:12Cheers.
00:57:15I wasn't sure we'd be able to pull this off.
00:57:18Yeah, but that's the strength of our alliance.
00:57:20Now as our families are put together,
00:57:22we are unstoppable.
00:57:25Our enemies will shit themselves.
00:57:27But I have to say,
00:57:29how did you pull this off?
00:57:30The sealed letter?
00:57:31That was a stroke of genius.
00:57:32How did you do that?
00:57:33Letter?
00:57:34I don't know of any letter.
00:57:36You didn't send the letter
00:57:38threatening my daughter's life?
00:57:39I would remember that, my friend.
00:57:42I mean,
00:57:43I had a plan with Philip,
00:57:45but no.
00:57:47Well then,
00:57:47who sent the letter?
00:57:48And who had access to our seal?
00:57:53I mean,
00:57:53normally only we have access.
00:57:57That must mean that we have a mole in the midst.
00:58:00One that must be crushed.
00:58:02Otherwise we could lose everything that we built.
00:58:05We must act swiftly.
00:58:07I have to inform my allies.
00:58:11No, no, no.
00:58:12No, we can't tell anyone.
00:58:13We have to handle this ourselves.
00:58:14Otherwise we'll be perceived as weak.
00:58:17And that's more dangerous.
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:20True.
00:58:42What the hell happened last night?
00:58:48I don't want to mourn.
00:58:52Hey,
00:58:53don't you think you've had enough?
00:58:54Don't worry.
00:58:55I can't handle it.
00:58:59Hmm.
00:59:03Come on.
00:59:04Let's get you off to bed.
00:59:06No,
00:59:06Papa.
00:59:07I don't want to go to bed yet.
00:59:09I want to stay here with you.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:11You've clearly got some daddy issues.
00:59:14Let's go.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:23Good morning, sunshine.
00:59:26Care for a cup of coffee?
00:59:28Um,
00:59:29no.
00:59:30Thanks.
00:59:30I need to go to work.
00:59:51The last time I had people look at me like that,
00:59:54I had my bare ass on television in a porn.
00:59:58Hmm?
00:59:59Fuck.
01:00:02Just in.
01:00:05Billionaire,
01:00:06playboy,
01:00:07and heir to the Bastin Pharmaceuticals conglomerate.
01:00:10Philippe Bastin has just tied the knot
01:00:12with a woman rumored to be the estranged daughter
01:00:14of another business mogul,
01:00:16Martin Dubois,
01:00:17in what is said to be the power union of the century.
01:00:19This comes as a shock to the public.
01:00:22You've missed my ass.
01:00:23To be tangled with the infamous superstar actress,
01:00:25Emmeline Castro.
01:00:32Fucking hell.
01:00:33I had no idea it would be this bad.
01:00:35Where is he?
01:00:36Where is that son of a bitch?
01:00:39Michael,
01:00:39calm down,
01:00:40and let me explain.
01:00:41Faster.
01:00:42I fucking trusted you.
01:00:43You could go behind my back and do this.
01:00:45Why?
01:00:46Why her?
01:00:47Huh?
01:00:47You knew I was in love with her.
01:00:48You even told me she wasn't your type,
01:00:50and yet you do this.
01:00:51Why?
01:00:52Dude,
01:00:53just calm down.
01:00:54Let me,
01:00:54listen to me,
01:00:55okay?
01:00:55Please.
01:00:56There's nothing to fucking expect.
01:00:57You and I have thought we were best friends, huh?
01:00:59We always help each other out.
01:01:00I got your back,
01:01:01you got mine.
01:01:02But no,
01:01:03from now we're through.
01:01:04Dude,
01:01:05please,
01:01:05just hear me.
01:01:06Oh,
01:01:06fuck off.
01:01:07Go to hell.
01:01:12That went better than expected.
01:01:18I'm ready to talk.
01:01:37Where can we meet?
01:01:39What took you so long?
01:02:00I had to make sure that you weren't being followed.
01:02:03Followed by who?
01:02:05Irrelevant for now.
01:02:05I believe we're both here to speak about Philip Bastion.
01:02:12I want to hurt him.
01:02:14Hurt him so bad.
01:02:16Take away everything he cares about most.
01:02:19And watch him crumble at my fucking feet.
01:02:25Big words,
01:02:26but achievable.
01:02:28So what would you have me do?
01:02:32Simple,
01:02:32really.
01:02:33Any big company like the Bastion family.
01:02:37The coverings.
01:02:38We need to uncover them.
01:02:40I don't care about his family.
01:02:42I just want Philip.
01:02:44I think I'm about to change your mind.
01:02:47Why don't you have a look over this?
01:02:48What's this?
01:02:55This.
01:02:56This is the thing that's going to change your world.
01:02:59This is the truth.
01:03:02What exactly are you playing at?
01:03:04What's your agenda?
01:03:05My agenda is rather simple,
01:03:07really.
01:03:08To uncover the truth.
01:03:09To take these guys down.
01:03:11How about you look over there?
01:03:13Give me a call.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:14Okay.
01:03:18Go away.
01:03:29Where is the ladies' groom in town?
01:03:34What the fuck happened?
01:03:36You look terrible.
01:03:38Thanks for the observation.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:40Now,
01:03:40what do you want?
01:03:43Feisty much.
01:03:45Just came to say congratulations.
01:03:47You're a married man now.
01:03:50Thanks,
01:03:51I guess.
01:03:52Now,
01:03:53why are you really here?
01:03:56Nothing really,
01:03:57actually.
01:03:57Just wanted to make sure
01:03:59that your little contract marriage
01:04:01doesn't interfere
01:04:02with our
01:04:02arrangement.
01:04:04Emma,
01:04:05I told you already.
01:04:06I'm done with this,
01:04:07okay?
01:04:07This is over.
01:04:08I don't want to play
01:04:09any of your stupid games.
01:04:11Good one,
01:04:12Philip.
01:04:13Emma,
01:04:13I'm not joking.
01:04:14Whatever this was,
01:04:15it's done.
01:04:16My darling boy,
01:04:19you don't have a choice.
01:04:21If you don't give me
01:04:22what I want,
01:04:23I'll just tell my
01:04:25generous boyfriend
01:04:27to take away
01:04:28your prize contract deal.
01:04:31I know you have
01:04:32always wanted to make
01:04:33a name for yourself
01:04:34and not live in
01:04:35daddy's shadow.
01:04:39So,
01:04:40it's over
01:04:42when I say
01:04:43it's over.
01:04:46Goodbye, love.
01:04:47See you soon.
01:04:57I can't believe
01:04:58you cook so good.
01:05:01Did you hear what I said?
01:05:03Yes.
01:05:05What the fuck
01:05:09is going on?
01:05:11We live in the same house
01:05:12and you've not said
01:05:13more than three words
01:05:14to me in the past week.
01:05:15You choose to sleep
01:05:16on the fucking couch
01:05:17rather in bed with me.
01:05:19Have I done something wrong?
01:05:22I think I'm full.
01:05:24I'm going to bed.
01:05:25How long are you
01:05:38going to give me
01:05:38this silent treatment?
01:05:39Just talk to me
01:05:40and talk to me now.
01:05:42After humiliating me,
01:05:43now you want to talk?
01:05:45Humid?
01:05:45What are you on about?
01:05:49Is this about that case?
01:05:51Is that what this is about?
01:05:53Look,
01:05:54okay,
01:05:54you were drunk
01:05:55and I didn't want
01:05:56to take advantage.
01:05:57That's all it is.
01:05:59Fine.
01:06:00Now you can
01:06:00please get out.
01:06:04What do you think
01:06:05you're doing?
01:06:06I don't know.
01:06:24I'll get out.
01:06:29Yeah,
01:06:30you should.
01:06:36What was I about to go
01:06:37to do?
01:06:39Was I going to fuck
01:06:41Philippe Bastien?
01:06:43The Playboy,
01:06:44they fuck hundreds of women.
01:06:45Hello,
01:06:54Hello, Papa?
01:06:55Ma Bijou,
01:06:56how are you doing?
01:07:00Hello, Papa?
01:07:01Ma Bijou,
01:07:02how are you doing?
01:07:03I'm fine.
01:07:04How is married life
01:07:05treating you?
01:07:06I know it must be hard
01:07:07to adjust to.
01:07:08Yes, Papa,
01:07:11it's hard.
01:07:13I'm sorry to hear that,
01:07:14Ma Bijou.
01:07:15I know you're still
01:07:16very upset with me,
01:07:18but just know
01:07:19that your Papa
01:07:20never wanted
01:07:20any of this for you.
01:07:22I would never want
01:07:23for you to be forced
01:07:24into the home
01:07:25of a man
01:07:25you do not love.
01:07:26But you're the one
01:07:29who let it happen.
01:07:31You're indecent
01:07:32on this marriage.
01:07:34You're supposed
01:07:34to protect me
01:07:35and you just
01:07:36threw me
01:07:37into the wolves
01:07:38and left me out
01:07:41in cold.
01:07:43Listen to me,
01:07:43my love.
01:07:44I know
01:07:44that I have failed you,
01:07:46but I will make this right.
01:07:48I will find a way
01:07:49to bring you back to me.
01:07:50It's too late, Papa.
01:07:52It's too late.
01:07:54No, it is not.
01:07:55I will find a way.
01:08:06I know I have failed you,
01:08:07my dear.
01:08:09Your dying wish
01:08:10was for me
01:08:10to take care of her,
01:08:11Ava,
01:08:12but it seems
01:08:13I've lost my way.
01:08:16None of this
01:08:17would have happened
01:08:17if you were here.
01:08:18You wouldn't have
01:08:19let me go through with it.
01:08:21I need to find a way
01:08:22to make this right.
01:08:25Hello, old friend.
01:08:34I thought we agreed
01:08:35to keep the phone
01:08:36conversations to a minimum.
01:08:38You never know
01:08:38who might be listening.
01:08:40I understand your concern,
01:08:41but this matter is urgent.
01:08:43I need to discuss
01:08:43something very important.
01:08:46Something important?
01:08:47What is it about?
01:08:48This marriage
01:08:49between our children.
01:08:51I need to find
01:08:52a way out of it.
01:08:53I need to nullify
01:08:53this contract.
01:08:58What's in it?
01:08:59I don't know.
01:09:00Somebody must have
01:09:01dropped it at the door.
01:09:02Let's open it then.
01:09:04Okay.
01:09:04You were warned,
01:09:13but you did not comply.
01:09:15Now everyone
01:09:16connected to you
01:09:17will pay the ultimate price.
01:09:24Fucking hell.
01:09:28Why are we still
01:09:29receiving death threats?
01:09:30We already fulfilled
01:09:31this stupid contract
01:09:32by getting married.
01:09:34I think someone's
01:09:35trying to mess with us.
01:09:36But who could it be?
01:09:38I don't know.
01:09:38I don't know.
01:09:40Maybe it's our parents.
01:09:42Our parents?
01:09:44Do you really think
01:09:45our parents could be
01:09:46plotting to kill us
01:09:47and even send death threats?
01:09:49It doesn't make any sense.
01:09:51Yeah, you're right.
01:09:53Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
01:09:56Whoever sent this letter
01:09:57sent the last letter too.
01:09:58It's the same seal.
01:09:59You're right.
01:10:02If our parents
01:10:03aren't behind it,
01:10:04they probably know
01:10:05who it is.
01:10:06Yeah, but that's information
01:10:07we're never going to get.
01:10:09I don't know
01:10:10what we're going to do.
01:10:12My father studied.
01:10:14He never lets anyone in
01:10:15unless he's there.
01:10:17It's been like this
01:10:19since I was a child.
01:10:20He might be hiding
01:10:21something in there.
01:10:23It's another thing
01:10:24we have in common.
01:10:25My father is super secretive.
01:10:26We have one just like you.
01:10:27Okay, then
01:10:30we have a plan.
01:10:32Hey,
01:10:33about earlier.
01:10:35What about it?
01:10:36I think it was just a mistake.
01:10:38We both got carried away.
01:10:40That's it.
01:10:41Now we need to focus on this.
01:10:44Yeah.
01:10:46You're right.
01:10:48But you're the one
01:10:49who let it happen.
01:10:51You're indecent of this marriage.
01:10:52You're supposed to protect me.
01:10:54You just threw me
01:10:55take it to the wolves.
01:10:58Old friend,
01:10:59you're able to make it
01:11:01on short notice?
01:11:02Yeah,
01:11:02when such a powerful man
01:11:04as Mr. Martin Dubois
01:11:06calls,
01:11:07I have no choice, huh?
01:11:14So, but tell me,
01:11:16the matter you wanted
01:11:17to discuss with me,
01:11:18I didn't get it.
01:11:19Was it a coded message
01:11:20or what was the point?
01:11:23No,
01:11:24it wasn't coded.
01:11:25I meant every word.
01:11:26I know it's a hard pill to swallow,
01:11:28but it's the truth.
01:11:31But, I mean, Martin,
01:11:32you're a member of the club
01:11:34for many years.
01:11:35You should know
01:11:36that we don't change the rules.
01:11:39Change is inevitable.
01:11:41You and I didn't get this far
01:11:42by obeying all the rules.
01:11:44But still,
01:11:45listen, Martin,
01:11:47shouldn't we better focus
01:11:48on finding the mole
01:11:50than on dwelling
01:11:51these absurdities?
01:11:53No, no, no.
01:11:54I have made my decision.
01:11:56Everything I have done
01:11:57has been for my baby girl.
01:11:59If she can't enjoy it,
01:12:00what's the point?
01:12:03Come on.
01:12:05Emil,
01:12:05you're the bookkeeper.
01:12:07You know these bylaws
01:12:08like the back of your hand.
01:12:09There has to be a way.
01:12:10I think there's only one way
01:12:13that this marriage
01:12:15gets worded
01:12:16and you won't like it.
01:12:36So I believe
01:12:37you looked over the, um,
01:12:39I'm going to ask you
01:12:42this once.
01:12:44And if you lie to me
01:12:45or if I think
01:12:46you're lying,
01:12:48you're dead.
01:12:51Okay.
01:12:52How do you know
01:12:53so much about me
01:12:54and my parents
01:12:54and who are you really?
01:12:57My name's Benoit.
01:12:59I used to be an ex-reporter.
01:13:01I'm here to look at
01:13:02the Bastion family
01:13:03to uncover their lies
01:13:04and their deceit
01:13:05to take these guys down
01:13:07the same way
01:13:08as they took down
01:13:09your family
01:13:09and they took down
01:13:11mine too.
01:13:12So it's about revenge
01:13:14for you.
01:13:14Payback?
01:13:16No.
01:13:17This is about
01:13:18uncovering the truth.
01:13:25I'm in.
01:13:27Glad to have you on board.
01:13:28So what is it
01:13:31you needed from me again?
01:13:33I need evidence.
01:13:35Rock-hard evidence.
01:13:37And I believe you
01:13:38and the son
01:13:39are best friends.
01:13:43Ex-friend.
01:13:45Our relationship's
01:13:46been a bit
01:13:46strained lately.
01:13:48But that's going
01:13:52to have to change.
01:13:53We can't get
01:13:54anywhere near the father.
01:13:55The son on the other hand.
01:13:57We can get him.
01:13:58He's sloppy.
01:14:00So you want me
01:14:00to kiss his ass
01:14:01just so I can get
01:14:02under his closet?
01:14:04Kiss his ass.
01:14:05Toss him off.
01:14:06I don't really care.
01:14:07As long as we get
01:14:08that evidence,
01:14:08we're golden.
01:14:09I don't care.
01:14:18Okay.
01:14:22I probably should have
01:14:23thought about what to say.
01:14:25Here goes nothing.
01:14:30Father!
01:14:38Huh?
01:14:40I didn't see this coming.
01:14:48Eva.
01:15:08Pick up.
01:15:09Oh, fuck.
01:15:15Yeah.
01:15:17Oh.
01:15:18I'll just wait outside.
01:15:19Ava, what a lovely surprise.
01:15:22Nonsense, nonsense.
01:15:23I was on my way out anyway.
01:15:25So we talk about this topic again, OK?
01:15:28I'm still.
01:15:34Ava, how are you?
01:15:36I haven't seen you since earlier.
01:15:37How have you been?
01:15:39I'm not fine, Papa.
01:15:41I need answers.
01:15:42Who are these people behind this TP contract?
01:15:46One of their names.
01:15:48Ava, why would you bother yourself with such details?
01:15:51Don't worry about it.
01:15:53Because they have already threatened me and Philip.
01:15:56What?
01:15:57They wouldn't dare.
01:15:58Too late.
01:15:59They already have.
01:16:01Papa, if you ever loved me, you'll tell me what I want to know.
01:16:06Ava, I have loved you always and forever.
01:16:12Your papa has done everything for you.
01:16:14If anything happens to me, I need you to know it was always for you.
01:16:19Your papa just wants you happy.
01:16:21What are you saying?
01:16:23What do you mean if anything happens to you?
01:16:26What's going on?
01:16:28No, Bijou, please.
01:16:29Just let me handle this.
01:16:30I'll take care of everything, OK?
01:16:32You're scaring me.
01:16:34Can't you just tell me the truth?
01:16:36Why are you keeping secrets?
01:16:38Does it have anything to do with the man they just left?
01:16:43It's my job to protect you as your father.
01:16:45This is my one and only job.
01:16:48I can't believe I was so blinded to it earlier.
01:16:54Aren't you going to answer it?
01:16:56Protect me from what?
01:16:58From who?
01:16:59Is there anyone after you left too?
01:17:02Please stop avoiding my questions.
01:17:07Protect you from me, from this whole world, from sharing the same fate as your mother.
01:17:13What?
01:17:43I can't believe it.
01:18:10I can't believe it.
01:18:12He was behind everything the whole time.
