00:23:25what the
00:23:35Hello, 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.
00:24:03Did 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.
00:24:22My 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.
00:24:31Okay, my love. You let me know if you need anything.
00:24:35Thank you, Papa. Goodbye.
00:24:36Line?
00:24:53Hello, old friend.
00:24:55Why would you not inform me that the first contact has been made?
00:24:59First 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?
00:25:17You did what?
00:25:19I asked her to marry me.
00:25:24Stop, it's not funny.
00:25:25Okay.
00:25:30Okay, okay. I'll stop. But dude, that's pathetic. Okay, asking a girl to marry you?
00:25:36I know, I messed up, alright? I didn't come here so you could rub it in, though. I came for your help. I need your help to fix this.
00:25:45Me? What the fuck do you want me to do? I've got enough problems on my own.
00:25:49Come on, you...
00:25:50Come on, you're a lady's man. How would you use some of that charm to fix this?
00:25:59Okay.
00:26:01I have an idea, but...
00:26:02I don't think you're gonna like it.
00:26:05I don't care, I'll do anything.
00:26:08Anything.
00:26:08No one must be allowed to disrupt a union. Nobody. Or else we could risk incurring the wrath of the club. You don't want that, do you?
00:26:23Certainly not. Philippe will do what needs to be done.
00:26:28Since your spies are already following my daughter, have 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.
00:26:56Son, we have to talk.
00:27:03Son, we have to talk to you about how to do this better work.
00:27:14Oh God, not today.
00:27:22What in God's name you think you're doing? You think this is funny?
00:27:26What? No, it's not funny. It's just supposed to get your attention so I can apologize.
00:27:30And somehow you thought that showing up at my workplace with this placard and half of your clothing missing will do the trick?
00:27:39Um,
00:27:40Philip, 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, get your attention so I could apologize.
00:27:56And hope that you'll forgive me and ask you out on another date.
00:28:02Um,
00:28:02fine.
00:28:04But please, get out of here before anyone else sees you like this.
00:28:09Really?
00:28:09Okay, I'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.
00:28:17Okay.
00:28:17Okay.
00:28:26Where is he?
00:28:44Where is he?
00:28:44So, you wanted to see me, father?
00:29:00Yes, son.
00:29:01Have a seat.
00:29:01Well, you know, about our last meeting, I have to admit that I have might 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.
00:29:24Lose everything?
00:29:25But that doesn't make any sense.
00:29:27Business 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...
00:30:00I just don't get it.
00:30:04You ask 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.
00:30:16Then 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?
00:30:25If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to find things out myself.
00:30:29What's going on?
00:30:55What the fuck does it look like?
00:30:58You gonna let me in?
00:30:59Yeah, come. Come on.
00:31:04Dude, are you okay? Can I get you something? Like 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, waiting for my fucking date and these guys pull up in their van.
00:31:27Start beating the shit out of me. Hood me. I can't see anything. Can't see who they are.
00:31:32Only thing they said was,
00:31:34Stay away from her or next time you won't be so lucky.
00:31:39Then 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...
00:31:48Her?
00:31:50Who the fuck is her?
00:31:52The fuck if I know.
00:31:55All I could think is Ava.
00:31:58Was on my way to pick her up for our second date.
00:32:01That 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?
00:32:08Oh.
00:32:10Are you okay?
00:32:12No.
00:32:13Dude, are you okay?
00:32:16What the fuck?
00:32:18Oh.
00:32:19Oh.
00:32:20No.
00:32:21Please.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23No.
00:32:24Dude.
00:32:25What the fuck?
00:32:26Oh.

00:32:42Oh.
00:32:43Oh.
00:32:44Oh.
00:32:45Oh.
00:33:05She's the only daughter of monsieur Martin Dubois, the business magnate who owns half of Paris.
00:33:12Hey, what better of a place to hear than 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 Devoir.
00:33:40My name is... Philip Bastion, the reckless son of Emil Bastion.
00:33:45Your 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?
00:33:57You see, Monsieur, I came to seek the truth.
00:34:01And something tells me that you're the man to give it to me.
00:34:05You don't say. Please, have a seat.
00:34:09Well, 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.
00:34:28You 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.
00:34:39Well, my father and I, we're different people. We see the world differently.
00:34:47So what brings you here unannounced?
00:34:50I'm sure you're aware of this marriage contract that's been drawn up against me and your daughter Ava.
00:34:56I'm aware.
00:34:57Yeah, well, I want to know who's made this contract.
00:35:00Okay, I want to know why such an outdated contract has such relevance in the 21st century.
00:35:05What makes you think that Alec 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. Papa!
00:35:34You?
00:35:35I can't believe. I gave him second chance and he still stood me up. I'm so stupid.
00:35:53Papa, 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.
00:36:21I don't know, maybe shipping your daughter off to marry some man that she's never met before?
00:36:31Maybe that might be some kind of an issue to you?
00:36:33What? A contact marriage? Papa would never...
00:36:38These decisions are beyond me. They're beyond all of us.
00:36:43This can be happening. This can be happening.
00:36:48Funny that. I've heard that before.
00:36:54Papa, what's going on here? Tell me this whole lie.
00:37:00You?
00:37:02I see you two are already acquainted.
00:37:04Papa, what's going on here? And what's this ape of a man doing here?
00:37:09Ape? You should look in 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, Nan. 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?
00:37:41Yeah, but please, please, please. We 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 here right now, let alone this arrogant piece of shit.
00:37:54Ava, please, wait!
00:37:56Well, that was a shit show. I'll just leave too, okay?
00:38:00But if you see my father, don't tell him about this, okay?
00:38:03He tends to get a bit overdramatic.
00:38:18You'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.
00:38:23You didn't drive here, did you?
00:38:26Thanks for pointing it out, Captain Obis.
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.
00:38:53You 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.
00:39:18Hey, you're not exactly my type either, but it seems like we don't really have a choice in this, do we?
00:39:23I always have a choice.
00:39:28This is bullshit! Fuck! Why would they do this?
00:39:46Fuck!
00:39:54Emma!
00:40:07Emma! What is the meaning of all this?
00:40:09Philip, darling, so nice of you to finally drop by. Can you be more specific about your accusations?
00:40:16Okay, well, I've just received an email from the Wilson account and they cancelled the deal and just got your fingerprints all over it!
00:40:23Oh, that, yes, all the discharged.
00:40:27You're not even going to deny it?
00:40:29What was the point in denying the obvious?
00:40:32Emma, Emma, why'd you do it?
00:40:39Well, 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.
00:40:51Emma, this could ruin my whole career.
00:40:55Hmm, darling, please. You're Philip Astian. Your whole life is made for.
00:41:02Hmm, you just want the whole glory so Daddy would be proud of you.
00:41:08I'll tell you what, if you keep me happy, I will put in a good word for you with my boyfriend.
00:41:18Keep you happy?
00:41:19Hmm, mm-hmm. For starters, we can put that flapping tongue of yours in good use. You might want to get on your knees.
00:41:35Yes, yes, of course. We handle everything. No worries. Of course.
00:41:42Oh, I think I have to call you back, Senator. Just a moment, okay?
00:41:46Mr. DuRois, what a surprise. What takes you here?
00:41:51Well, after your son gave me a similar surprise, I figured I'd return the favor.
00:41:56My son? Philip came to visit you?
00:41:59In bold fashion, no less. It 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?
00:42:10I've received word that these senior members plan to act against us if we do not fulfill the contract.
00:42:17What? They wouldn't dare.
00:42:19Oh, you know better than to trust the loyalty of men.
00:42:22These vultures will stop at nothing to derail our plans. We 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?
00:42:33Philip 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.
00:42:45Really? 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?
00:43:12Ahem. Welcome 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.
00:43:24Ava, please, it's just been a misunderstanding. Surely you've listened to me and we'll work something out. You can understand.
00:43:45Would it be all, sir?
00:43:48Please let me explain.
00:43:50Take your hands off me, otherwise I'll get you arrested for the assault.
00:43:53Hey, look, I've been in the hospital for days. I'm covered in cuts and bruises and...
00:43:59Is it 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 the truth. It's not fake.
00:44:10It's impossible. All you man can do is lie.
00:44:14Why are you acting like this?
00:44:15I suggest you to leave.
00:44:16And you should talk to your friend, Philippe. He might be hiding something from you.
00:44:21Are you talking about hiding something?
00:44:24Goodbye.
00:44:25I suggest you to leave.
00:44:26I suggest you to leave. And you should talk to your friend, Philippe. He might be hiding something from you.
00:44:38Hey, Philippe, I need to talk to you about...
00:44:42Please tell me that wasn't Emma.
00:44:54Dude, I wish I could, but...
00:44:58I don't know. She's just going to toy with my emotions and break my heart again.
00:45:02You didn't look like you were complaining.
00:45:05She's going to run off, okay? She always does.
00:45:10Hey, actually, it's nice to see you up and about. You wanted to talk about something?
00:45:18Thanks.
00:45:20Yeah, I went to see Ava again on my way over here.
00:45:24I'm not going to lie, man. She's real pissed.
00:45:27So she never wants to see me again.
00:45:28Sorry, man. But hey, you can just get over here. There's plenty more fish in the sea.
00:45:36That's the thing, I don't think I can. I'm obsessed. I...
00:45:40I can't just walk away even if I end up in the hospital again.
00:45:45Dude...
00:45:47She just... she sounds like trouble, okay?
00:45:50She also said you might be hiding something from me.
00:45:54Huh?
00:45:55Oh, crap!
00:45:58I'm going to be late for a meeting with my dad.
00:46:01Let's, uh, catch up soon.
00:46:06Sorry, I know I'm late. I've been caught up with work.
00:46:10This is a quarterly meeting. I'm terribly tired of the story.
00:46:14Honestly, big mistake.
00:46:16That would explain the red lipstick strains.
00:46:19Oh.
00:46:21Oh.
00:46:23Have a seat, son. We're not here to discuss about that evening.
00:46:28So, Monsieur Du Bois tells me that you paid him a surprise visit. Did you?
00:46:33Somehow, I should have seen this coming.
00:46:38Yeah, you should.
00:46:40So, 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?
00:46:53Yeah, answer me.
00:46:54Oh, I'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.
00:47:09It's enough. I 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. You will be like a worthless dog on the streets.
00:47:25Again with the threats.
00:47:27You will not speak to me like this again, you insolent child. It's enough. Am I clear?
00:47:33Am I clear?
00:47:34Yeah.
00:48:03F***.
00:48:06F***.
00:48:11Fuck.
00:48:19Alright, goodnight officer.
00:48:20Good night, officer.
00:48:31I'm flattered you thought of me first, but this isn't exactly my forte.
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.
00:48:45That isn't exactly how we do things, but sure, what do you want to talk about?
00:48:51Come on.
00:48:55See, my life's just been a mess. I don't know, like, everything's just going wrong.
00:49:00Everything'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.
00:49:10You see, my dad wants me to get married to some girl, and I don't want to get married to some girl.
00:49:14I don't know.
00:49:16Okay, so what are you saying?
00:49:18I guess what I'm saying is, Em, you see me. You see me for all of me, and we get along so well, and...
00:49:35I guess what I'm saying is, I want something more serious with you.
00:49:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy there. I think you're going a little bit too fast.
00:49:48I mean, what we have is sacred. Beauty beyond description. No strings attached.
00:49:55There is no need to doing what we have with whatever it is you're proposing.
00:50:01Em, I love you. I always have.
00:50:10I know, darling. I love you too. But too much is going on with me right now.
00:50:17Why don't we keep things just as they are, okay?
00:50:20Yeah, sure. Let's just keep things the way they are.
00:50:50Sir, wait. You forgot something.
00:50:56Maybe he'll return for it.
00:51:11You were warned, but you didn't comply.
00:51:15Now everyone connected to you will pay the ultimate price?
00:51:20Just when I thought that things could not get worse, you 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? I'm talking about this.
00:51:50This is bad. I thought we had more time.
00:52:00Now you're at surprised. You sent this.
00:52:03Eva, look. I know that you hate me right now, but this wasn't me. I had no part in this.
00:52:11If you didn't send this, who did?
00:52:14Who did?
00:52:22You know what? I don't care.
00:52:25Whoever they are, they can go to hell. I don't care.
00:52:27No, no, no, no.
00:52:28Eva, listen. This is not something to take lightly. These are dangerous people. I 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, but there's no easy way to say it in the end. I failed you. I failed both of you.
00:52:49These people will take everything that we've built and burn it down. They will systematically murder everybody we care about. And then they'll kill us too.
00:53:04What? We can go to the police.
00:53:07No, they own the police. They own the banks, the government. They even own the military.
00:53:13So what do we do?
00:53:15I'm afraid the only solution is you have to marry Philip Bastion.
00:53:23I'll do it.
00:53:40Huh? What the fuck?
00:53:44You have been warned. Nobody is safe.
00:54:02Huh?
00:54:03What 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? Do you have a stop?
00:54:22Seems that all the choice has been taken out of my life, and I'm being forced to marry you.
00:54:29You.
00:54:38I see you receive it too.
00:54:41So what are we gonna do?
00:54:43I don't have choice either.
00:54:44I can spend the rest of my life watching over my shoulder and waiting for some mysterious man in black, killing me and everybody I know.
00:54:58So we're doing this?
00:54:59As painful as it sounds.
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:05Seems like I'm gonna need something a lot stronger than coffee.
00:55:08But you're always stopping me.
00:55:09No.
00:55:10No.
00:55:11No.
00:55:12No.
00:55:14No.
00:55:16No.
00:55:17Whoa.
00:55:18No.
00:55:19No.
00:55:20No.
00:55:21No.
00:55:22No.
00:55:24No.
00:55:25No.
00:55:26Then that's one.
00:55:27Philip, you backstabbing son of a bitch, how could you?
00:55:44This isn't over.
00:55:46This isn't over.
00:55:54Welcome to your new home, Mrs. Bastien.
00:55:58I'm gonna get a drink.
00:56:01I can't breathe in this thing.
00:56:06Here, let me help you.
00:56:09I can hear myself.
00:56:14Okay.
00:56:14Hold on.
00:56:31Now, give me this.
00:56:32Do you have more?
00:56:45Let'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, yeah.
00:56:52There's definitely some daddy issues going on there.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:58You know, Lady Bastien, you're not such a terrible looker.
00:57:03Okay.
00:57:05That's the drink talking, so let's go to sleep.
00:57:12Cheers.
00:57:12Cheers.
00:57:13Cheers.
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, we are unstoppable.
00:57:25Our enemies will shit themselves.
00:57:28But I have to say, how 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.
00:57:35You didn't send the letter threatening my daughter's life?
00:57:39I would remember that, my friend.
00:57:42I mean, I had a plan with Philip, but no.
00:57:47Well, then who sent the letter?
00:57:50And who had access to our seal?
00:57:53I mean, normally 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.
00:58:04We 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.
00:58:19Yeah.
00:58:20True.
00:58:20What the hell happened last night?
00:58:44I want one more.
00:58:52Hey, don't you think you've had enough?
00:58:54Don't worry.
00:58:55I can't handle it.
00:58:57Come on, let's get you off to bed.
00:59:06No, Papa.
00:59:07I don't want to go to bed yet.
00:59:09I want to stay here with you.
00:59:11Okay, you've clearly got some daddy issues.
00:59:14Let's go.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:15Good morning, sunshine.
00:59:26Care for a cup of coffee?
00:59:29No, thanks.
00:59:32I need to go to work.
00:59:33The last time I had people look at me like that, I had my bare ass on television in a porn.
00:59:57Justine, billionaire, playboy, and heir to the Bastin Pharmaceuticals conglomerate.
01:00:10Philippe Bastin has just tied the knot with a woman rumored to be the estranged daughter of another business mogul, Martin Du Bois,
01:00:17in what is said to be the power union of the century.
01:00:20This comes as a shock to the public.
01:00:22You've finished my ass.
01:00:23...to be tangled with the infamous superstar actress, Emmeline Castro.
01:00:27Fucking hell, I 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, calm down and let me explain.
01:00:41You fucking bastard.
01:00:42I fucking trusted you.
01:00:43You need to 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 and yet you do this.
01:00:51Why?
01:00:52Dude, just calm down.
01:00:54Let me, listen to me, okay?
01:00:55Please.
01:00:56There's nothing to fucking explain.
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, you got mine.
01:01:02But no, for now we're through.
01:01:04Dude, please just hear me.
01:01:06Oh, fuck off.
01:01:07Go to hell.
01:01:12That went better than expected.
01:01:18Fuck.
01:01:19I'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.
01:02:02Followed by who?
01:02:04You're relevant for now.
01:02:06I 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 on my fucking feet.
01:02:23Big words.
01:02:26But achievable.
01:02:29So what would you have me do?
01:02:32Simple, really.
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.
01:02:43I think I'm about to change your mind.
01:02:47How about you have a look over this?
01:02:54What'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, really.
01:03:08To uncover the truth.
01:03:09To take these guys down.
01:03:11How about you look over that?
01:03:13You won't call.
01:03:24Oh, go away!
01:03:30Where 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, now...
01:03:41What do you want?
01:03:43Hmm.
01:03:43Feisty much.
01:03:45Just came to say congratulations.
01:03:47You're a married man now.
01:03:50Thanks, I guess.
01:03:52Now, why are you really here?
01:03:56Nothing really, actually.
01:03:57Just wanted to make sure that your little contract marriage doesn't interfere with our arrangement.
01:04:03Emma, I told you already.
01:04:05Emma, I told you already.
01:04:06I'm done with this, okay?
01:04:07This is over.
01:04:08I don't want to play any of your stupid games.
01:04:11Good one, Philip.
01:04:13Emma, I'm not joking.
01:04:14Whatever this was, it's done.
01:04:16My darling boy, you don't have a choice.
01:04:21If you don't give me what I want, I'll just tell my generous boyfriend to take away your
01:04:28prize contract deal.
01:04:29I know you have always wanted to make a name for yourself and not live in daddy's shadow.
01:04:36So, it's over when I say it's over.
01:04:46Goodbye, love.
01:04:48See you soon.
01:04:48I can't believe you cook so good.
01:05:01Did you hear what I said?
01:05:03Yes, thank you.
01:05:08What the fuck is going on?
01:05:11We live in the same house and you've not said more than three words to me in the past week.
01:05:15You choose to sleep on the fucking couch rather than bed with me.
01:05:19Have I done something wrong?
01:05:22I think I'm full.
01:05:25I'm going to bed.
01:05:37How long are you going to give me the silent treatment?
01:05:40Just talk to me and talk to me now.
01:05:42After humanating me, now you want to talk?
01:05:44Human, what are you on about?
01:05:49Is this about that case?
01:05:51Is that what this is about?
01:05:53Look, okay, you were drunk and I didn't want to take advantage.
01:05:58That's all it is.
01:05:59Fine, now you can please get out.
01:06:04What do you think you're doing?
01:06:06I don't know.
01:06:07I don't know.
01:06:14I'll get out.
01:06:29Yeah, we should.
01:06:31What was I about to go... to do?
01:06:39Was I going to fuck Philippe Bastien?
01:06:43The Playboy did fuck hundreds of women?
01:06:45Hello, Papa?
01:06:55Mapichu, how are you doing?
01:07:00Hello, Papa?
01:07:01Mapichu, how are you doing?
01:07:03I'm fine.
01:07:04How is married life treating you?
01:07:06I know it must be hard to adjust to.
01:07:08Yes, Papa, it's hard.
01:07:13I'm sorry to hear that, Mapichu.
01:07:15I know you're still very upset with me, but just know that your Papa never wanted any of this for you.
01:07:22I would never want for you to be forced into the home of a man you do not love.
01:07:26But you're the one who let it happen.
01:07:31You're indecent on this marriage.
01:07:34You're supposed to protect me, and you just threw me into the wolves.
01:07:40And you left me out in cold.
01:07:43Listen to me, my love.
01:07:44I know that I have failed you.
01:07:46But I will make this right.
01:07:48I will find a way to 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, my dear.
01:08:09Your dying wish was for me to take care of her, Ava.
01:08:12But it seems I've lost my way.
01:08:16None of this would have happened if you were here.
01:08:18You wouldn't have let me go through with it.
01:08:21I need to find a way to make this right.
01:08:25Hello, old friend.
01:08:34I thought we agreed to keep the phone conversations to a minimum.
01:08:38You never know who might be listening.
01:08:39I understand your concern, but this matter is urgent.
01:08:43I need to discuss something very important.
01:08:46Something important?
01:08:47What is it about?
01:08:49This marriage between our children.
01:08:51I need to find a way out of it.
01:08:53I need to nullify this contract.
01:08:58What's in it?
01:08:59I don't know.
01:09:00Somebody must have dropped it at the door.
01:09:02Let's open it then.
01:09:03Okay.
01:09:11You were warned, but you did not comply.
01:09:15Now everyone connected to you will pay the ultimate price.
01:09:19Fucking hell.
01:09:28Why are we still receiving death threats?
01:09:30We already fulfilled this stupid contract by getting married.
01:09:34I think someone is trying to mess with us.
01:09:36But who could it be?
01:09:38I don't know.
01:09:38I don't know.
01:09:39Maybe it's our parents.
01:09:42Our parents?
01:09:44Do you really think our parents could be plotting 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 sent the last letter too.
01:09:58It's the same seal.
01:10:00You're right.
01:10:02If our parents aren't behind it, they probably know who it is.
01:10:06Yeah, but that's information we're never going to get.
01:10:09I don't know what we're going to do.
01:10:12My father studied.
01:10:14He never lets anyone in unless he's there.
01:10:17It's been like this since I was a child.
01:10:20He might be hiding something in there.
01:10:23It's another thing we have in common.
01:10:25My father is super secretive.
01:10:26We have one just like it.
01:10:29Okay, then we have a plan.
01:10:32Hey, about 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.
01:10:46But you're the one who let it happen.
01:10:51You indecitent of this marriage.
01:10:52You're supposed to protect me.
01:10:54You just threw me to the wolves.
01:10:58Old friend, you're able to make it on short notice?
01:11:02Yeah.
01:11:02When such a powerful man as Mr. Martin Dubois calls, I have no choice.
01:11:08So, but tell me, the matter you wanted to discuss with me, I didn't get it.
01:11:19Was it a coded message or what was the point?
01:11:22No, it wasn't coded.
01:11:24I meant every word.
01:11:26I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's the truth.
01:11:31But, I mean, Martin, you're a member of the club for many years.
01:11:35You should know that we don't change the rules.
01:11:37Change is inevitable.
01:11:41You and I didn't get this far by obeying all the rules.
01:11:45But still, listen, Martin.
01:11:47Shouldn't we better focus on finding the mole than on dwelling these absurdities?
01:11:53No, no, no.
01:11:54I have made my decision.
01:11:56Everything I have done has been for my baby girl.
01:11:58If she can't enjoy it, what's the point?
01:12:03Come on.
01:12:05Emil, you're the bookkeeper.
01:12:06You know these bylaws like the back of your hand.
01:12:09There has to be a way.
01:12:11I think there's only one way that this marriage gets worded and you won't like it.
01:12:36So, I believe you looked over the, um...
01:12:39I'm going to ask you this once.
01:12:44And if you lie to me, or if I think you're lying, you're dead.
01:12:48Okay.
01:12:51How do you know so much about me and my parents?
01:12:55And who are you, really?
01:12:57My name's Benoit.
01:12:59I used to be an ex-reporter.
01:13:01I may have to look at the Bastion family to uncover their lies and their deceit.
01:13:06To take these guys down.
01:13:07The same way as they took down your family.
01:13:10And they took down mine, too.
01:13:12So, it's about revenge for you.
01:13:14Payback?
01:13:15Payback.
01:13:16No.
01:13:17This is about uncovering the truth.
01:13:25I'm in.
01:13:27Glad to have you on board.
01:13:30So, what is it you needed from me again?
01:13:33I need evidence.
01:13:35Rock-hard evidence.
01:13:37And I believe you and the son are best friends.
01:13:43Ex-friend.
01:13:45Our relationship's been a bit strained lately.
01:13:51But that's going to have to change.
01:13:53We can't get anywhere 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 to kiss his ass just so I can get under 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 that evidence, we're golden.
01:14:21Okay.
01:14:22I probably should have thought about what to say.
01:14:25Here goes nothing.
01:14:30Father!
01:14:36I didn't see this coming.
01:14:41Diva, pick up.
01:15:11Diva, pick up.
01:15:41Diva, pick up.
01:15:43Diva, pick up.
01:15:45Diva, pick up.
01:15:47Diva, pick up.
01:15:49Diva, why would you bother yourself with such details?
01:15:51Don't worry about it.
01:15:53Diva, because they've already threatened me and Filip.
01:15:56What?
01:15:57They wouldn't dare.
01:15:58Too late.
01:15:59They already have.
01:16:01If you ever loved me, you'll tell me what I want to know.
01:16:06Diva, I've loved you always and forever.
01:16:10Your papa has done everything for you. If 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? What's going on?
01:16:27Ma Bijou, please, just let me handle this. I'll take care of everything, okay?
01:16:32You're scaring me. Can't you just tell me the truth? Why are you keeping secrets?
01:16:38Does it have anything to do with the man they just left?
01:16:42It's my job to protect you as your father. This is my one and only job.
01:16:47I can't believe I was so blinded to it earlier.
01:16:54Aren't you gonna answer it?
01:16:56Protect me from what? From who? Is there anyone after you left too?
01:17:02Please stop avoiding my questions.
01:17:06Protect you from me. From this whole world. From sharing the same fate as your mother.
01:17:12What?
01:17:36What is something.
01:17:56I can't believe it, he was behind everything the whole time.
