Short filmTranscript
00:00Six hundred thousand.
00:02I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front. Anything more?
00:07One million pounds.
00:11Grandfather, the royal family has signed off on the billion dollar deal.
00:15They've even thrown in an extra ten percent cash advance.
00:19Oh.
00:24Well this, this is excellent work.
00:30Emma, what is it?
00:34Grandfather, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
00:42I have feelings for Lucien.
00:48And I'd like to honor our engagement.
00:53You're serious?
00:54You have feelings for the Hastings boy?
00:57Of all people?
01:00Well, it appears that you two are indeed destined for each other.
01:07See?
01:09Your mother's instincts were right after all.
01:12So you're giving her blessing?
01:15Of course.
01:18Emma, your happiness is all that matters to me.
01:22But, an engagement needs proper protocol.
01:26So I will invite the parents over next week and we can make the arrangements.
01:30Yes.
01:31My lord, an invitation from Sotheby has arrived.
01:38They're featuring the 18th century Wellington pocket watch you've been seeking.
01:43Oh.
01:49Well.
01:51We should go.
01:52Shortly.
01:54Grandfather.
01:56Let me go in your place.
01:58The Hastings got me such lovely gifts and I'd like to find something suitable at the auction to give them in return.
02:10Splendid.
02:14The 18th century pocket watch from Duke of Wellington.
02:20Starting bid will be £500,000.
02:23Six hundred thousand.
02:25I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front. Anything more?
02:30One million pounds.
02:34One million pounds.
02:36New bidder, lady in the back. Thank you, ma'am. Do I have more than one million pounds?
02:40One point one million.
02:42One point one million from the lady down front. Thank you. Do we have higher than one point one million?
02:46One point five million.
02:47One point five million, the new bidder. Thank you, ma'am. Do we have more than one point five million pounds?
02:51One point five million pounds.
02:52Forgive me, the honorable Miss Devin. I've quite got my heart set on that watch.
02:57One point six million.
03:01One point six million from the original bidder down front. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than one point six million?
03:05Father's plan worked perfectly. That massive contract will have bled Devin Holdings dry by now. Let's see you wriggle out of this one. Shall we?
03:16Two million pounds.
03:18Two million from the lady in the second row. Thank you, ma'am. The new bidder. Do we have any higher bids than two million? Going more?
03:23Boss, you're never going to believe he's at the private auction right now.
03:31Two point five million.
03:33Two and a half million pounds from the lady down front. Would you like to go higher, ma'am?
03:36Three million.
03:37Three point eight million.
03:38Four million pound.
03:39Four point five million.
03:41Five million pound.
03:43Five million pounds from our new bidder in the second row. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than five million?
03:49Grandfather adores this pocket watch. I simply have to secure it. Five point five million pounds.
03:57Five point five million pounds. Highest bid from the lady in the front. Our original bidder. Any higher bids? Any more?
04:04Very well. Since the honorable Miss Devin is so enamored, I shall concede.
04:11What on earth is Alice playing on?
04:13Five point five million pounds going once. Five point five twice. Third and final call. Sold to the lady in the front row for five point five million pounds. Thank you, ma'am.
04:27Oh, Miss Devin. I do hope you brought your checkbook, darling.
04:37You're out position, Miss Devin.
04:41Please charge my card.
04:43I can't be right.
04:49That can't be right.
04:52It appears Devin Holdings' liquidity has been completely drained by that ten billion pound contract.
05:00What are you saying?
05:02You complete and utter fool. That massive contract you went tooth and nail to get?
05:08To get?
05:09A trap?
05:10A trap?
05:11Darling.
05:12Designed to cripple Devin Holdings financially.
05:14Your company?
05:15Your company?
05:16Is finished.
05:17And that precious engagement with Lucien?
05:21Consider it history.
05:23That can't be true. You're lying through your teeth.
05:27Oh, Emma. Stop being so painfully naive.
05:31Devin Holdings is utterly ruined.
05:36You don't have a safety net anymore.
05:38You won't even make it out the front doors of this auction house.
05:41Farewell, Lady Devin.
05:42Oh, God. If she's not lying, then... Grandfather must be...
05:56Auction house policies to detain old bad faith bidders for 24 hours while we conduct our inquiry.
06:10No, I fully intend to pay. It's just, there's an emergency. I have to attend to it immediately.
06:16Take the only aid of the holding room.
06:19Get your hands off me.
06:21I'll take care of her account.
06:26Emma, what on earth are you doing here? Are you bidding on the chairman's behalf? Thank you.
06:36What's going on with Devin Holdings?
06:40Just got word. The company's facing the worst crisis in its history. Thank you.
06:47I have to go. Right this second.
06:49Emma!
06:50Grandfather, is it... is it true about the Devin Holdings liquidity crisis?
06:59Wow. Well, word travels quite quickly, doesn't it?
07:03Is it... is it because of the Royal Billion Pound Order?
07:07I'm so sorry. This is entirely my doing.
07:12I brought this upon the company.
07:16Emma, don't torture yourself. This situation has rather more layers than you might imagine.
07:22Henry, don't try to console me.
07:26Lucian already told me. The Devin estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
07:31So, the Hastings boy told you this. What is his game? He heard that we were in trouble, so he tried to extricate himself? Is that it?
07:41No. Lucian still doesn't know who I really am. And I trust him, implicitly. No matter what happens, it won't change anything between us.
07:53What is so bloody special about this Lucian, anyway?
08:00Grandfather, let's be honest. This is entirely my fault. If it would change anything, I would grovel in front of the princess.
08:14My dear... my dear girl. Do you honestly believe that those palace parasites have the strength to bring down the house of Devin?
08:29Grandfather, what are you saying?
08:31In truth, Lord Devin anticipated their maneuvers way in advance. Each one of their moves was thoroughly predicted.
08:40So, you've known all this time?
08:43Mm-hmm. And I was inclined to let them save face. But Alice had the audacity to use her royal title to mistreat my granddaughter.
08:54So, if that's the game they want to play, they have to brace themselves for financial ruin.
09:02My Lord, Mr. Lucian has arrived.
09:05Lucian? What's he doing here?
09:11Good.
09:14Lucian still has no clue who I am. Do you think you could run interference for me?
09:21Yes. Yes, of course.
09:23Yeah? Okay.
09:29Lord Devin.
09:31Lucian? What brings you here?
09:34I'm here to declare that no matter the cost. I will spare no effort to help the Devin family overcome this crisis.
09:41Go on, then. What's your price?
09:50Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
09:56He must want my blessing regarding Emma.
10:00Very well.
10:03You have my word.
10:04You have my word.
10:05You have my word.
10:06You have my word.
10:07You have my word.
10:08You have my word.
10:10I know I'm here to declare that no matter, no matter.
10:15You have nooof ever.
10:17Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.

27:23Henry, I'm begging you. Please let me see Emma just once.
27:29Sorry, Henry.
27:35Well, if it isn't Lucian, the man who so publicly jilted my granddaughter,
27:41what, you come to play the victim, have we?
27:46My Lord, I wish to apologize to both you and Emma for my actions.
27:50There's been a terrible misunderstanding.
27:52A misunderstanding? Weren't you the one who emphatically
27:57declared to not regret ending the engagement?
28:03I know I was wrong, but please believe me. Emma is the only girl I've ever truly loved and wanted to marry.
28:09No. No, this show of devotion is too late.
28:15What was between you two is finished.
28:19I know I broke her heart. I was an utter bastard.
28:22But I will do anything, anything at all.
28:25She'll forgive me and come back to me.
28:28It's awful.
28:30Lady Emma, she's been kidnapped.
28:34What?
28:35What?
28:36You?
28:37You little bitch.
28:52I finally got you right where I wanted you.
28:54Alice, what the hell are you doing?
28:57What am I doing?
28:58What am I doing?
29:01You took everything from me.
29:04So now, I'll take the only Devonare to the grave with me.
29:11Time to say goodbye.
29:14The honorable Miss Devon.
29:20Don't.
29:21Don't move!
29:27Lucian, what are you doing here?
29:37You bitch!
29:38Why?
29:39Why do you always use her?
29:40What does she have when I don't?
29:43Get her out of here!
29:46Let me go!
29:48Emma, please forgive me.
29:50I nearly lost you.
29:57You're the one who broke off our engagement.
30:00Why have you come for me?
30:02I never want to see you again.
30:06Emma, please.
30:11I had no idea you were THE Devon heiress.
30:15Don't you see?
30:16I broke off my engagement with the Devon heiress because...
30:20I was in love with you.
30:27Emma Drake.
30:29Will you marry this blind fool?
30:30You're the future lady of the Hastings family.
30:33Emma Drake.
30:38Will you marry this blind fool?
30:41You're the future lady of the Hastings family.
30:43That's what I did with you.
30:44I don't know.
30:45I didn't even care for her.
30:46I wasn't one of those.
30:47Right now.
30:48I do.
30:49And you are all right.
30:50I've got aée.
30:51She's falling for love.
30:52You're the future lady.
30:53But you have a don't know right now.
30:54For me or the advice that you're asking,
30:56She is a little girl I love.
30:58Oh, she's a little girl.
30:59She's a little girl.
31:00I know the bride.
31:01So, she is also a lady who's looking for me.
