00:00:00Six hundred thousand.
00:00:02I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front. Anything more?
00:00:07One million pounds.
00:00:11Grandfather, the royal family has signed off on the billion dollar deal.
00:00:15They've even thrown in an extra ten percent cash advance.
00:00:19Oh.
00:00:24Well this, this is excellent work.
00:00:30Emma, what is it?
00:00:34Grandfather, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
00:00:42I have feelings for Lucien.
00:00:48And I'd like to honor our engagement.
00:00:53You're serious?
00:00:54You have feelings for the Hastings boy?
00:00:57Of all people?
00:01:00Well, it appears that you two are indeed destined for each other.
00:01:07See?
00:01:09Your mother's instincts were right after all.
00:01:12So you're giving her blessing?
00:01:15Of course.
00:01:18Emma, your happiness is all that matters to me.
00:01:22But, an engagement needs proper protocol.
00:01:26So I will invite the parents over next week and we can make the arrangements.
00:01:30Yes.
00:01:31My lord, an invitation from Sotheby has arrived.
00:01:38They're featuring the 18th century Wellington pocket watch you've been seeking.
00:01:43Oh.
00:01:49Well.
00:01:51We should go.
00:01:52Shortly.
00:01:54Grandfather.
00:01:56Let me go in your place.
00:01:58The Hastings got me such lovely gifts and I'd like to find something suitable at the auction to give them in return.
00:02:10Splendid.
00:02:11The 18th century pocket watch from Duke of Wellington. Starting bid will be five hundred thousand pounds.
00:02:23Six hundred thousand.
00:02:25I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front. Anything more?
00:02:30One million pounds.
00:02:35One million pounds, new bidder, lady in the back. Thank you, ma'am. Do I have more than one million pounds?
00:02:39One point one million.
00:02:41One point one million.
00:02:42One point one million from the lady down front. Thank you. Do we have higher than one point one million?
00:02:46One point five million.
00:02:47One point five million.
00:02:48One point five million, the new bidder. Thank you, ma'am. Do we have more than one point five million pounds?
00:02:51One point five million pounds.
00:02:53Forgive me, the honorable Miss Devin. I've quite got my heart set on that watch.
00:03:00One point six million.
00:03:01One point six million from the original bidder down front. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than one point six million?
00:03:05Father'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?
00:03:16Two million pounds.
00:03:17Two 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?
00:03:23Boss, you're never going to believe he's at the private auction right now.
00:03:31Two point five million.
00:03:33Two and a half million pounds from the lady down front. Would you like to go higher, ma'am?
00:03:36Three million.
00:03:37Three point eight million.
00:03:38Four million pound.
00:03:40Four point five million.
00:03:42Five million pound.
00:03:44Five million pounds from our new bidder in the second row. Thank you, ma'am. Are we going to go higher than five million?
00:03:49Grandfather adores this pocket watch. I simply have to secure it.
00:03:54Five point five million pounds.
00:03:56Five point five million pounds. Highest bid from the lady in the front. Our original bidder. Any higher bids? Any more?
00:04:03Very well. Since the honorable Miss Devin is so enamored, I shall concede.
00:04:10What on earth is Alice playing on?
00:04:13Five point five million pounds going once. Five point five twice.
00:04:18Third and final call. Sold to the lady in the front row for five point five million pounds. Thank you, ma'am.
00:04:27Oh, Miss Devin. I do hope you brought your checkbook, darling.
00:04:37You're out position, Miss Devin.
00:04:41Please charge my card.
00:04:48That can't be right.
00:04:51It appears Devin Holdings' liquidity has been completely drained by that ten billion pound contract.
00:05:00What are you saying?
00:05:02You complete an utter fool. That massive contract you went tooth and nail to get?
00:05:09A trap, darling.
00:05:11Designed to cripple Devin Holdings financially.
00:05:15Your company is finished.
00:05:18And that precious engagement with Lucien?
00:05:21Consider it history.
00:05:24That can't be true. You're lying through your teeth.
00:05:27Oh, Emma. Stop being so painfully naive.
00:05:32Devin Holdings is utterly ruined.
00:05:37You don't have a safety net anymore.
00:05:39You won't even make it out the front doors of this auction house.
00:05:45Farewell, Lady Devin.
00:05:52Oh, God.
00:05:54If she's not lying, then...
00:05:56Grandfather must be.
00:06:05Auction house policies to detain old bad faith bidders for 24 hours while we conduct our inquiry.
00:06:10No, I fully intend to pay.
00:06:13It's just, there's an emergency. I have to attend to it immediately.
00:06:16Take the only aid of the holding room.
00:06:20Get your hands off me.
00:06:21I'll take care of her account.
00:06:26Emma, what on earth are you doing here?
00:06:29Are you bidding on the chairman's behalf?
00:06:31What's going on with Devin Holdings?
00:06:33Just got word.
00:06:34The company's facing the worst crisis in its history.
00:06:36I have to go. Right this second.
00:06:37Emma!
00:06:39Grandfather, is it... is it... is it...
00:06:40I have to go. Right this second.
00:06:41Emma!
00:06:42Grandfather, is it... is it...
00:06:44I have to go.
00:06:46I have to go.
00:06:48I have to go.
00:06:49I have to go.
00:06:50I have to go.
00:06:51I have to go.
00:06:52I have to go.
00:06:53I have to go.
00:06:54Grandfather, is it... is it true about the Devin Holdings liquidity crisis?
00:06:59Wow.
00:07:00Well, word travels quite quickly, doesn't it?
00:07:03Is it... is it because of the Royal Billion Pound Order?
00:07:08I'm so sorry.
00:07:10This is entirely my doing.
00:07:14I brought this upon the company.
00:07:16Emma, don't torture yourself.
00:07:19This situation has rather more layers than you might imagine.
00:07:22Henry, don't try to console me.
00:07:26Lucian already told me.
00:07:28The Devin estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:07:31So the Hastings boy told you this.
00:07:34What is his game?
00:07:36He heard that we were in trouble, so he tried to extricate himself?
00:07:40Is that it?
00:07:41No.
00:07:42Lucian still doesn't know who I really am.
00:07:47And I trust him, implicitly.
00:07:50No matter what happens, it won't change anything between us.
00:07:56What is so bloody special about this Lucian, anyway?
00:08:00Grandfather, let's be honest.
00:08:05This is entirely my fault.
00:08:08If it would change anything, I would grovel in front of the princess.
00:08:17My dear...
00:08:19My dear girl.
00:08:21Do you honestly believe that those palace parasites have the strength to bring down the house of Devin?
00:08:28Grandfather, what are you saying?
00:08:31In truth, Lord Devin anticipated their maneuvers way in advance.
00:08:37Each one of their moves was thoroughly predicted.
00:08:41So you've known all this time?
00:08:44And I was inclined to let them save face.
00:08:48But Alice had the audacity to use her royal title to mistreat my granddaughter.
00:08:53So if that's the game they want to play, they have to brace themselves for financial ruin.
00:09:00Hmm.
00:09:02My lord, Mr. Lucian has arrived.
00:09:05Lucian?
00:09:07What's he doing here?
00:09:13Lucian still has no clue who I am.
00:09:16Do you think you could run interference for me?
00:09:20Yes.
00:09:21Yes, of course.
00:09:22Yeah?
00:09:23Okay.
00:09:29Lord Devin.
00:09:31Lucian?
00:09:32What brings you here?
00:09:34I'm here to declare that no matter the cost.
00:09:36I will spare no effort to help the Devin family overcome this crisis.
00:09:40Go on, then.
00:09:43What's your price?
00:09:49Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:09:55He must want my blessing regarding Emma.
00:10:00Very well.
00:10:03You have my word.
00:10:16Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:10:21Lord.
00:10:34Lucian surely asked grandfather for his blessing on our marriage.
00:10:38Maybe it's time he knew who I really am.
00:11:09Emma?
00:11:10How-
00:11:11Right.
00:11:12You're working with Devin Holdings.
00:11:14Some work thing, is it?
00:11:15This gift will explain everything.
00:11:22Oh, Lucian!
00:11:23Everything is set with Lord Devin.
00:11:24Lady Emma's and your engagement party is happening in three days.
00:11:39Silly boy, you have no ideas like winning the lottery.
00:11:44I've told you I'm imperious, domineering Lady Emma.
00:11:47What absolute nonsense!
00:11:51Perfectly, lovely, not a haughty bone in her body.
00:11:54I've seen her true colors first.
00:11:57You're a perfect match.
00:11:59Perfect match.
00:12:08Emma, I promise.
00:12:10I won't betray you no matter what happens.
00:12:17My felicitation with a perfect pairing, wouldn't you say?
00:12:23Let's drink to the Devons and the Hastings.
00:12:38I wonder if Lucian's ready-
00:12:39Fetchum?
00:12:43Better wait until I'm fully ready.
00:12:47The Devon estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:13:00Your Lordship, you still have the audacity to throw an engagement party?
00:13:03You just can't simply collapse overnight.
00:13:06Lucian prefers Emma.
00:13:08It's, um, frightfully common of you.
00:13:14Lord Devin is a crafty old fox.
00:13:16I understand you've been through reports of Devon Holdings' bankruptcy.
00:13:21Who?
00:13:22Their finances are in tatters.
00:13:23Stop-
00:13:26Devon Holdings is only a hallow shell now.
00:13:29On the brink of bankruptcy.
00:13:31Isn't that correct, Lord Devon?
00:13:33You're-
00:13:36Holdings is admittedly facing some minor-
00:13:38Laps.
00:13:39And you've only yourself to blame.
00:13:41Long-lost granddaughter and offending a princess in the pro-
00:13:44I'm tired.
00:13:45My Lord.
00:13:46Not to worry.
00:13:47The Hastings will stand with you through thick and thin.
00:13:51Absolutely.
00:13:52You-
00:13:53You-
00:13:54Alice.
00:13:55If anyone here has lost it, Steffi-
00:13:56Well, well, well.
00:13:57Look who's finally arrived.
00:13:58That isn't the noble Miss Devon of Devonshire.
00:13:59Finally gracing us with her presence.
00:14:00Emma.
00:14:01I don't think this is the right time for you to be here.
00:14:03She's the bloody curse.
00:14:04Ever since you returned, everything at Devon Holdings has gone to hell.
00:14:05Surely you can't still be thinking of tying your family to this sinking shit.
00:14:06I'm sure anyone with sense would see that I am the only appropriate person who
00:14:07Oh well, look who's finally arrived.
00:14:09That isn't the noble Miss Devon of Devonshire.
00:14:12Finally gracing us with her presence.
00:14:16Emma, I don't think this is the right time for you to be here.
00:14:20She's the bloody curse!
00:14:21Ever since she returned, everything at Devon Holdings has gone to hell.
00:14:24Surely you can't still be thinking of tying your family to this sinking ship.
00:14:29I'm sure anyone with sense would see that I am the only appropriate match.
00:14:33Pollution.
00:14:36Your Royal Highness.
00:14:42Are you certain that Devon Holdings is the company going under?
00:14:46Look, poor Emma.
00:14:48This is what happens when you cross me.
00:14:50The entire...
00:14:51Let's take a look, shall we?
00:14:53Thank you, Henry.
00:14:54I actually believe that shorting Devon's stock would let you gobble up my family's hundred-year legacy.
00:15:00Not wind of you little scheme three months ago.
00:15:03Every scrap of bad press for Devon lately.
00:15:07And what I have here is a finance-
00:15:09The person looking at bankruptcy isn't me, your highness.
00:15:13It's your daddy dearest.
00:15:15What?
00:15:16What?
00:15:17What?
00:15:18What?
00:15:19No!
00:15:20That's absurd!
00:15:21Well, you'll discover the truth soon, though.
00:15:22Emma.
00:15:23As long as I draw breath, the Devon family will never fall prey again.
00:15:25Prince who's actually broke?
00:15:26Bloody hell.
00:15:27What a twist.
00:15:28And Lord Devon just laid the trap.
00:15:31This is rubbish.
00:15:32You know, this is all fake.
00:15:33You've made it all up.
00:15:34You absolute cow!
00:15:36The royal assets under your father's management.
00:15:37Catastrophic debt.
00:15:38Share prices straight down.
00:15:39The pr-
00:15:40I give you my word.
00:15:41Wait.
00:15:42What?
00:15:43What?
00:15:44What?
00:15:45What?
00:15:46What?
00:15:47What?
00:15:48What?
00:15:49What?
00:15:50What?
00:15:51What?
00:15:52What?
00:15:53What?
00:15:54What?
00:15:55What?
00:15:56What?
00:15:57What?
00:15:58What?
00:15:59What?
00:16:00What?
00:16:01What?
00:16:02What?
00:16:03The bri-
00:16:04The pu-
00:16:05I give you my word.
00:16:06Wait, so it's the cle vol-
00:16:20Waiting for her to take the bait.
00:16:22Paint it all up.
00:16:24You absolute cow-
00:16:25This is all your fault.
00:16:26You wrecked everything!
00:16:28Henry, remove the princess immediately.
00:16:30I'm a princess! How dare you manhandle me!
00:16:35Oh, I neglected to mention that the Crown just officially disowned the branch of your family.
00:16:44So now, you are just a bankrupt civilian.
00:16:48That's rubbish! I am a royal princess, not a filthy commoner!
00:16:54You'll all regret this. You'll all pay for this!
00:16:58Let me go!
00:17:06I should probably go change into something less destroyed.
00:17:10Yeah, sure, sure.
00:17:15Well, that was rather dramatic, don't you think?
00:17:18Everybody, please, back to the festivities.
00:17:28Oh, Lucian. You're just in time. We were about to commence with the engagement ceremony.
00:17:43You're a lucky devil?
00:17:51My lord, I came prepared to aid Devon Holdings in return for your pledge.
00:17:55It seems my services were not necessary.
00:17:57Oh, well. The gesture was appreciated.
00:18:01And the promise we mentioned, already given.
00:18:05You're allowing me to break off my engagement with Lady Emma.
00:18:09I beg your pardon?
00:18:11Lucian, what the hell are you doing?
00:18:15Have you lost your mind?
00:18:17Have you completely lost your sense, you stupid boy?
00:18:23I've never loved Lady Emma.
00:18:27This engagement was a mistake since the beginning.
00:18:29Bloody scoundrel!
00:18:31I'm gonna ask you this question just once.
00:18:37Are you absolutely sure you want to break off this engagement?
00:18:41No regrets!
00:18:47I am entirely sure.
00:18:49No regrets whatsoever.
00:18:51Very well.
00:18:57You insult my granddaughter.
00:19:01Henry.
00:19:03Get him out of here.
00:19:05Boss, if Emma knew all that you sacrificed for her, she'd be absolutely touched.
00:19:35No regrets.
00:19:49Grandpa, what's happened?
00:19:53Emma, that revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:19:57The absolute swine Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:20:01Let's put him down like the dog he is.
00:20:09Emma.
00:20:13Don't despair.
00:20:15A bright young woman like you.
00:20:17You can have any man you want.
00:20:21Grandpa, I need some time alone.
00:20:23Well, well.
00:20:33If it isn't the exalted Lady Emma, what?
00:20:37Has Lord Devon finally kicked you to the curb?
00:20:39Forget the fancy titles.
00:20:41Everyone knows Devon's Holdings is finished.
00:20:45Share price in freefall.
00:20:47Cash flow's dried up.
00:20:49You're so cleverly broke!
00:20:51You really are bad luck.
00:20:55First you destroyed us, then you brought down the Earl of Devon.
00:20:59Ah, now there's no one left to protect you.
00:21:05Hmm.
00:21:07I'm going to cut you open and sell your organs.
00:21:11Fair payment for all those years we spent keeping you fed.
00:21:17Ooh, let's see he'll come to your rescue this time.
00:21:29How dare you!
00:21:33Lord Devon, what are you doing here?
00:21:35Wait, didn't the Devons go broke?
00:21:37You're harassing my granddaughter.
00:21:43What, you have a death wish?
00:21:47Come on, darling.
00:22:01Hold on.
00:22:03Emma, I know you weren't so heartless.
00:22:07Please ask Lord Devon to let us go.
00:22:13I believe...
00:22:19This belongs to me.
00:22:21About time it came back to me.
00:22:23Don't you think?
00:22:29Remove this rubbish.
00:22:31and handle them appropriately.
00:22:35Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:22:37Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:22:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22:41Shh.
00:22:42Shh.
00:22:43Shh.
00:22:44Shh.
00:22:45Shh.
00:22:49Something's wrong.
00:22:51Emma always takes my calls.
00:23:01Holy hell. Boss, this changes everything.
00:23:13Emma is the Devon heiress.
00:23:20You should go. His lordship has forbidden you from setting foot in these grounds.
00:23:25Henry, I'm begging you. Please let me see Emma just once.
00:23:31Sorry Henry.
00:23:36Well, if it isn't Lucian, the man who so publicly jilted my granddaughter,
00:23:43what, you come to play the victim, have we?
00:23:48My lord, I wish to apologize to both you and Emma for my actions.
00:23:52There's been a terrible misunderstanding.
00:23:54A misunderstanding? Weren't you the one who emphatically
00:23:59declared to not regret ending the engagement?
00:24:04I know I was wrong, but please believe me. Emma is the only girl I've ever truly loved and wanted to marry.
00:24:11No. No, this show of devotion is too late.
00:24:16What was between you two is finished.
00:24:20I know I broke her heart. I was an utter bastard.
00:24:24But I will do anything, anything at all.
00:24:27She'll forgive me and come back to me.
00:24:30It's awful.
00:24:34Lady Emma, she's been kidnapped.
00:24:36What?
00:24:37What?
00:24:38You?
00:24:39You little bitch.
00:24:53I finally got you right where I wanted you.
00:24:57Alice, what the hell are you doing?
00:24:59What am I doing?
00:25:00What am I doing?
00:25:03You took everything from me.
00:25:06So now, I'll take the only Devon heir to the grave with me.
00:25:13Time to say goodbye.
00:25:16The honorable Miss Devon.
00:25:22Don't.
00:25:23Don't move!
00:25:24Lucian, what are you doing here?
00:25:39You bitch!
00:25:40Why?
00:25:41Why do you always use her?
00:25:42What does she have when I don't?
00:25:45Get her out of here!
00:25:48Let me go!
00:25:50Emma, please forgive me.
00:25:52I nearly lost you.
00:25:55You're the one who broke off our engagement.
00:26:02Why have you come for me?
00:26:03I never want to see you again.
00:26:07Emma, please.
00:26:13I had no idea you were THE Devon heiress.
00:26:17Don't you see?
00:26:18I broke off my engagement with the Devon heiress because...
00:26:21I was in love with you.
00:26:24Emma Drake.
00:26:25Will you marry this blind fool?
00:26:26Will you marry this blind fool?
00:26:27Will you marry this blind fool and be the future lady of the Hastings family?
00:26:45Look at her.
00:26:46Henry?
00:26:47Hi.
00:26:51Can I dieelse?
00:26:52Thanks.
00:26:54Come and gather!
00:26:56Aha.
00:26:58Hope is what we've been to see.
00:27:00The inn is moving today.
00:27:01I have 600,000 for the lady down front.
00:27:16Anything more?
00:27:19One million pounds.
00:27:24Grandfather, the royal family has signed off on the billion dollar deal.
00:27:28They've even thrown in an extra 10% cash advance.
00:27:32Oh.
00:27:37Well, this is excellent work.
00:27:44Emma, what is it?
00:27:47Grandfather, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
00:27:55I have feelings for Lucien, and I'd like to honor our engagement.
00:28:04You're serious?
00:28:08You have feelings for the Hastings boy?
00:28:10Of all people?
00:28:12Well, it appears that you two are indeed destined for each other.
00:28:19See, your mother's instincts were right after all.
00:28:24So you're giving her blessing?
00:28:27Of course.
00:28:29Emma, your happiness is all that matters to me.
00:28:33But an engagement needs proper protocol.
00:28:37So I will invite the parents over next week and we can make the arrangements.
00:28:41Yes.
00:28:47My lord, an invitation from Sotheby has arrived.
00:28:52They're featuring the 18th century Wellington pocket watch you've been seeking.
00:29:01Oh, well, we should go shortly.
00:29:06Grandfather, let me go in your place.
00:29:10The Hastings got me such lovely gifts and I'd like to find something suitable at the auction
00:29:16to give them in return.
00:29:19Splendid.
00:29:28The 18th century pocket watch from Duke of Wellington.
00:29:32Starting bid will be five hundred thousand pounds.
00:29:36Six hundred thousand.
00:29:37I have six hundred thousand for the lady down front.
00:29:39Anything more?
00:29:42One million pounds.
00:29:47One million pounds, new bidder, lady in the back.
00:29:49Thank you, ma'am.
00:29:50Do I have more than one million pounds?
00:29:52One point one million.
00:29:54One point one million from the lady down front.
00:29:57Do we have higher than one point one million?
00:29:58One point five million.
00:30:00One point five million, the new bidder.
00:30:01Thank you, ma'am.
00:30:02Do we have more than one point five million pounds?
00:30:04Forgive me, the honorable Miss Steppen.
00:30:07I've quite got my heart set on that watch.
00:30:10One point six million.
00:30:13One point six million from the original bidder down front.
00:30:16Thank you, ma'am.
00:30:17Are we going to go higher than one point six million?
00:30:19Father's plan worked perfectly.
00:30:22That massive contract will have bled Devin Holdings dry by now.
00:30:25Let's see you wriggle out of this one.
00:30:27Shall we?
00:30:29Two million pounds.
00:30:30Two million from the lady in the second row.
00:30:32Thank you, ma'am.
00:30:33The new bidder, do we have any higher bids than two million?
00:30:36Going more?
00:30:38Boss, you're never going to believe he's at the private auction right now.
00:30:44Two point five million.
00:30:46Two and a half million pounds from the lady down front.
00:30:48Would you like to go higher, ma'am?
00:30:49Three million.
00:30:50Three point eight million.
00:30:51Four million pound.
00:30:52Four point five million.
00:30:54Five million pound.
00:30:56Five million pounds from our new bidder in the second row.
00:30:59Thank you, ma'am.
00:31:00Are we going to go higher than five million?
00:31:02Grandfather adores this pocket watch.
00:31:04I simply have to secure it.
00:31:07Five point five million pounds.
00:31:09Five point five million pounds.
00:31:11Highest bid from the lady in the front.
00:31:13Our original bidder.
00:31:14Any higher bids?
00:31:15Any more?
00:31:16Very well.
00:31:17Since the honorable Miss Devin is so enamored,
00:31:21I shall concede.
00:31:23What on earth is Alice playing on?
00:31:25Five point five million pounds going once.
00:31:28Five point five twice.
00:31:30Third and final call.
00:31:32Sold to the lady in the front row for five point five million pounds.
00:31:35Thank you, ma'am.
00:31:39Oh, Miss Devin.
00:31:40I do hope you brought your checkbook, darling.
00:31:49You're out position, Miss Devin.
00:31:53Please charge my card.
00:31:55That can't be right.
00:32:02It appears Devin Holdings' liquidity has been completely drained by that ten billion pound contract.
00:32:12What are you saying?
00:32:13What are you saying?
00:32:14You complete and utter fool.
00:32:17That massive contract you went tooth and nail to get?
00:32:21A trap?
00:32:22Darling.
00:32:23Designed to cripple Devin Holdings financially.
00:32:26Your company?
00:32:27Is finished.
00:32:28And that precious engagement with Lucien?
00:32:32Consider it history.
00:32:35That can't be true.
00:32:37You're lying through your teeth.
00:32:39Oh, Emma.
00:32:40Stop being so painfully naive.
00:32:43Devin Holdings is utterly ruined.
00:32:49You don't have a safety net anymore.
00:32:51You won't even make it out the front doors of this auction house.
00:32:57Farewell, Lady Devin.
00:33:00Oh, God.
00:33:05If she's not lying, then...
00:33:09Grandfather must be...
00:33:16Auction House policies to detain old bad faith bidders for 24 hours while we conduct our inquiry.
00:33:22No, I fully intend to pay.
00:33:25It's just, there's an emergency.
00:33:26I have to attend to it immediately.
00:33:28Take the only way to the holding room.
00:33:32Get your hands off me.
00:33:33I'll take care of her account.
00:33:44Emma, what on earth are you doing here?
00:33:45Are you bidding on the chairman's behalf?
00:33:48What's going on with Devin Holdings?
00:33:52Just got word.
00:33:53The company's facing the worst crisis in its history.
00:33:59I have to go.
00:34:00Right this second.
00:34:01Emma!
00:34:06Grandfather, is it true about the Devin Holdings liquidity crisis?
00:34:11Wow.
00:34:12Well, word travels quite quickly, doesn't it?
00:34:15Is it...
00:34:16Is it...
00:34:17Is it because of the Royal Billion Pound Order?
00:34:20I'm so sorry.
00:34:22This is entirely my doing.
00:34:26I brought this upon the company.
00:34:28Emma, don't torture yourself.
00:34:31This situation has rather more layers than you might imagine.
00:34:34Henry, don't try to console me.
00:34:37Lucian already told me.
00:34:39The Devin estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:34:43So the Hastings boy told you this.
00:34:45What is his game?
00:34:47He heard that we were in trouble, so he tried to extricate himself?
00:34:51Is that it?
00:34:52No.
00:34:53Lucian still doesn't know who I really am.
00:34:57And I trust him, implicitly.
00:35:01No matter what happens, it won't change anything between us.
00:35:08What is so bloody special about this Lucian, anyway?
00:35:13Grandfather, let's be honest.
00:35:17This is entirely my fault.
00:35:19If it would change anything, I would grovel in front of the princess.
00:35:29My dear...
00:35:31My dear girl.
00:35:33Do you honestly believe that those palace parasites have the strength to bring down the house of Devin?
00:35:41Grandfather, what are you saying?
00:35:43In truth, Lord Devin anticipated their maneuvers way in advance.
00:35:49Each one of their maneuvers was thoroughly predicted.
00:35:53So you've known all this time?
00:35:56And I was inclined to let them save face.
00:36:00But Alice had the audacity to use her royal title to mistreat my granddaughter.
00:36:06So if that's the game they want to play, they have to brace themselves for financial ruin.
00:36:14My lord, Mr. Lucian has arrived.
00:36:17Lucian?
00:36:20What's he doing here?
00:36:23I could...
00:36:26Lucian still has no clue who I am.
00:36:30Do you think you could run interference for me?
00:36:32Yes.
00:36:33Yes, of course.
00:36:35Yeah, okay.
00:36:41Lord Devin.
00:36:43Lucian?
00:36:44What brings you here?
00:36:45I'm here to declare that no matter the cost.
00:36:48I will spare no effort to help the Devin family overcome this crisis.
00:36:53Go on, then.
00:36:55What's your price?
00:37:01Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:37:07He must want my blessing regarding Emma.
00:37:11Very well.
00:37:13You have my word.
00:37:15You have my word.
00:37:28Once the Devin family is through this crisis, I ask that you grant me one matter of great importance.
00:37:32Lucian surely asked grandfather for his blessing on our marriage.
00:37:50Maybe it's time he knew who I really am.
00:37:53You have my word.
00:38:21Emma?
00:38:22Right. You're working with Devin Holdings. Some work thing, is it?
00:38:27This gift will explain everything.
00:38:46Yes?
00:38:47Lucian, get home right now. The most fantastic news!
00:38:55Oh! Lucian!
00:38:57Everything is set with Lord Devin. Lady Emma's and your engagement party is happening in three days time.
00:39:04What?
00:39:05Lord Devin himself called to say Lady Emma is quite pleased with the match.
00:39:11Silly boy. You have no idea how remarkable Emma is. Marrying her is like winning the lottery.
00:39:20I've told you I've met someone. I refuse to marry that imperious, domineering Lady Emma.
00:39:26What absolute nonsense have you been listening to? Lady Emma is perfectly lovely, not a haughty bone in her body.
00:39:36I've seen her true colors first-hand.
00:39:39Then you must need your eyes checked.
00:39:44I don't give a damn. I want Lady Emma as my daughter-in-law and if you refuse I'll end you myself.
00:39:52Now, now. Tommy, slow down. You've only hurt yourself.
00:40:02Lucian, just sleep on it. We've met Emma and she is absolutely delightful.
00:40:11Delightful?
00:40:13You're a perfect match.
00:40:14Perfect match.
00:40:23Emma, I promise.
00:40:37I won't betray you no matter what happens.
00:40:39My felicitations. Lady Emma's beauty is matched only by Sir Hastings' impeccable bearings.
00:40:54They're the perfect pairing, wouldn't you say?
00:40:56Let's drink to the Devons and the Hastings.
00:41:00May their combined legacy shine throughout all the ages.
00:41:03To the happy couple.
00:41:04To the happy couple.
00:41:05To the happy couple.
00:41:06To the happy couple.
00:41:07To the happy couple.
00:41:08To the happy couple.
00:41:26I wonder if Lucian's ready yet.
00:41:28Mr. Hastings is just next door. Shall I fetch him?
00:41:31Better wait until I'm fully ready.
00:41:37I want him to see me at my absolute best.
00:41:44Are you actually going to marry Lady Emma?
00:41:47But what about Emma?
00:41:49There's no way you've forgotten about her.
00:41:55Rest assured I have a plan.
00:41:57What is she doing here?
00:42:23What is she doing here?
00:42:25The Devon estate is on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:42:30Your Lordship, you still have the audacity to throw an engagement party?
00:42:36Princess Alice, I must insist you watch what you say.
00:42:40The Devon family's century-long legacy just can't simply collapse overnight.
00:42:45Really, darling? Fabricating stories because Lucian prefers Emma?
00:42:49Well, Emma, it's frightfully common of you.
00:42:56Lord Devon is a crafty old fox.
00:42:59I understand you've been misled.
00:43:02But it's the truth.
00:43:04Look online and you'll find multiple reports of Devon Holdings bankruptcy.
00:43:08Their finances are in tatters.
00:43:11Stock prices through the floor, creditors at the door, and not a single bank willing to touch them.
00:43:20It's crap.
00:43:22Good Lord! Their share price is absolutely tanked in a single day.
00:43:25Looks like Devon Holdings is properly done for.
00:43:32Devon Holdings is only a hallow shell now.
00:43:35On the brink of bankruptcy.
00:43:37Isn't that correct, Lord Devon?
00:43:41Alice is here?
00:43:45What is she up to this time?
00:43:46Well, Devon Holdings is admittedly facing some minor flames.
00:43:51Minor?
00:43:53It's complete collapse.
00:43:55And you've only yourself to blame.
00:43:57Your lordship.
00:43:59Chasing after your long-lost granddaughter and offending a princess in the process?
00:44:04Mm-hmm.
00:44:06What did you expect?
00:44:09I'm tired of it.
00:44:10My lord.
00:44:13My lord.
00:44:14Not to worry.
00:44:15The Hastings will stand with you through thick and thin.
00:44:20Absolutely.
00:44:22Have you lost your minds?
00:44:41Alice.
00:44:43If anyone here has lost it, it's definitely you.
00:44:48Well, well, well.
00:44:50Look who's finally arrived.
00:44:52That isn't the noble Miss Devon of Devonshire.
00:44:55Finally gracing us with her presence.
00:44:58Emma, I don't think this is the right time for you to be here.
00:45:02She's the bloody curse!
00:45:04Ever since she returned, everything at Devon Holdings has gone to hell.
00:45:06Surely you can't still be thinking of tying your family to this sinking shit.
00:45:10I'm sure anyone with sense would see that I am the only appropriate match for Lucian.
00:45:27Your Royal Highness, are you absolutely certain that Devon Holdings is the company going under?
00:45:33Look, poor Emma.
00:45:36Still floundering around desperately.
00:45:38This is what happens when you cross me.
00:45:41The entire Devon family will fall with you.
00:45:45Your Highness.
00:45:47A bit cocky, aren't we?
00:45:51Let's take a look, shall we?
00:45:53Thank you, Henry.
00:45:54Did you honestly believe that shorting Devon's stock would let you gobble up my family's hundred-year legacy?
00:46:04How utterly deluded.
00:46:06Now, I caught wind of your little scheme three months ago.
00:46:11Every scrap of bad press for Devon lately, planted by us.
00:46:17Designed to put your guard down so we could hit you where it hurts.
00:46:21And what I have here is a financial report for royal assets under your father's management.
00:46:27Catastrophic debt.
00:46:30Share prices straight down!
00:46:32The person looking at bankruptcy isn't me, Your Highness.
00:46:37It's your daddy dearest.
00:46:43What? No, that's absurd!
00:46:45Well, you'll discover the cheese soon now.
00:46:53Emma.
00:46:55I give you my word.
00:46:58As long as I draw breath, the Devon family will never fall prey again.
00:47:04Wait, so it's the prince who's actually broke?
00:47:08Bloody hell, what a twist.
00:47:10And Lord Devon just laid the trap, waiting for her to take the bait.
00:47:16This is rubbish.
00:47:20You know, this is all fake.
00:47:21You've made it all up.
00:47:23You absolute cow!
00:47:28This is all your fault.
00:47:30You've wrecked everything!
00:47:34Henry, remove the princess immediately.
00:47:39I'm a princess! How dare you manhandle me!
00:47:48Oh, I neglected to mention that the Crown just officially disowned the branch of your family.
00:47:54So now, you are just a bankrupt civilian.
00:47:59That's...
00:48:00That's rubbish!
00:48:01I am a royal princess, not a filthy commoner!
00:48:05You'll all regret this.
00:48:07You'll all pay for this!
00:48:10Let me go!
00:48:12I should probably go change into something less destroyed.
00:48:22Yeah, sure, sure.
00:48:26Well, that was rather dramatic, don't you think?
00:48:30Everybody, please, back to the festivities.
00:48:42Oh, Lucian!
00:48:49You're just in time.
00:48:51We're about to commence with the engagement ceremony.
00:48:54You're, uh...
00:48:56Lucky Devil?
00:48:57No?
00:49:00I'll do it.
00:49:02My lord, I came prepared to aid Devon Holdings and return for your pledge.
00:49:07It seems my services were not necessary.
00:49:09Oh, well.
00:49:11The gesture was appreciated.
00:49:13And the promise we mentioned?
00:49:15Already given.
00:49:17You're allowing me to break off my engagement with Lady Emma.
00:49:21I beg your pardon?
00:49:24Lucian, what the hell are you doing?
00:49:28Have you lost your mind?
00:49:30Have you completely lost your sense, you stupid boy?
00:49:34I've never loved Lady Emma.
00:49:38This engagement was a mistake since the beginning.
00:49:41You're a scoundrel!
00:49:45I'm gonna ask you this question just once.
00:49:49Are you absolutely sure you want to break off this engagement?
00:49:53No regrets!
00:49:58I am entirely sure.
00:50:01No regrets whatsoever.
00:50:07Very well.
00:50:09You insult my granddaughter.
00:50:13Henry!
00:50:15Get him out of here.
00:50:16I'm gonna hear.
00:50:32Boss.
00:50:34If Emma knew all that you sacrificed for her, she'd be absolutely touched.
00:50:37Grandpa, what's happened?
00:50:38My mom.
00:50:39That revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:50:40Grandpa, what's happened?
00:50:41My mom.
00:50:42That revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:50:43The absolute swine.
00:50:44Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:50:45My mom.
00:50:46My mom.
00:50:47That revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:50:48The absolute swine.
00:50:49Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:50:50Let's put him down like the dog he is.
00:50:52Oh my gosh.
00:50:53My mom.
00:50:54My mom.
00:50:55That revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:50:56The absolute swine, Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:50:57Let's put him down like the dog he is.
00:51:01Grandpa, what's happened?
00:51:05Emma, that revolver I gave you, where is it?
00:51:09The absolute swine Lucian has called off the wedding.
00:51:14Let's put him down like the dog he is.
00:51:21Emma.
00:51:25Don't despair a bright young woman like you.
00:51:29You can have any man you want.
00:51:33Grandpa, I need some time alone.
00:51:42Well, well.
00:51:45If it isn't the exalted Lady Emma, what?
00:51:48Has Lord Devon finally kicked you to the curb?
00:51:50Forget the fancy titles.
00:51:52Everyone knows Devon's Holdings is finished.
00:51:56Share price in free fall, cash flow's dried up.
00:51:59You're properly broke!
00:52:03You really are bad luck.
00:52:06First you destroyed us, then you brought down the Earl of Devon.
00:52:10Ah, now there's no one left to protect you.
00:52:13Hmm.
00:52:18I'm going to cut you open and sell your organs.
00:52:24Fair payment for all those years we spent keeping you fed.
00:52:29Ooh, let's see he'll come to your rescue this time.
00:52:32Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:52:36What?
00:52:40How dare you!
00:52:44Lord Devon, what are you doing here?
00:52:47Wait, didn't the Devons go broke?
00:52:50You're harassing my granddaughter.
00:52:54What, you have a death wish?
00:52:56Come on, darling.
00:53:11Huh?
00:53:12Hold on.
00:53:15Emma, I know you weren't so hard, so sad.
00:53:18Please ask Lord Devon to let us go.
00:53:21I believe...
00:53:30This belongs to me.
00:53:32About time it came back to me.
00:53:34Don't you think?
00:53:41Remove this rubbish.
00:53:45And handle them appropriately.
00:53:48Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:53:49Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:53:50Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:53:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's okay.
00:53:53It's okay.
00:54:11Ah, something's wrong.
00:54:12Emma always takes my calls.
00:54:16Emma is the Devon Heiress.
00:54:31You should go. His lordship has forbidden you from setting foot in these grounds.
00:54:37Henry, I'm begging you. Please let me see Emma just once.
00:54:42It's alright, Henry.
00:54:46Well, well, if it isn't Lucian, the man who so publicly jilted my granddaughter,
00:54:55what, you come to play the victim, have we?
00:54:59My lord, I wish to apologize to both you and Emma for my actions.
00:55:04There's been a terrible misunderstanding.
00:55:06A misunderstanding? Weren't you the one who emphatically declared to not regret ending the engagement?
00:55:17I know I was wrong, but please believe me.
00:55:20Emma is the only girl I've ever truly loved and wanted to marry.
00:55:23No. No, this show of devotion is too late.
00:55:28What was between you two is finished.
00:55:32I know I broke her heart.
00:55:34I was an utter bastard.
00:55:36But I will do anything, anything at all.
00:55:39She'll forgive me and come back to me.
00:55:41It's awful.
00:55:46Lady Emma, she's been kidnapped.
00:55:48What?
00:55:49What?
00:55:49You?
00:56:02You little bitch.
00:56:05I finally got you right where I want you.
00:56:09Alice, what the hell are you doing?
00:56:11What am I doing?
00:56:12You took everything from me.
00:56:18So now, I'll take the only Devonair to the grave with me.
00:56:25Time to say goodbye.
00:56:28The Honorable Miss Devon.
00:56:34Don't move!
00:56:35Lucian, what are you doing here?
00:56:50You bitch!
00:56:52Why?
00:56:52Why do you always use her?
00:56:54What does she have that I don't?
00:56:56Get her out of here!
00:56:58No!
00:56:59Let me go!
00:57:01Emma, please forgive me.
00:57:02I nearly lost you.
00:57:10You're the one who broke off our engagement.
00:57:14Why have you come for me?
00:57:15I never want to see you again.
00:57:19Emma, please.
00:57:24I had no idea you were the Devonairis.
00:57:28Don't you see?
00:57:30I broke off my engagement with the Devonairis because...
00:57:32I was in love with you.
00:57:46Emma Drake.
00:57:50Will you marry this blind fool?
00:57:54You're the future lady of the Hastings family.
00:57:56What do you do?
00:57:57Do you know what he's going for?
00:57:58What do you do?
00:57:59I don't care.
00:57:59I hope I don't come for that.
00:58:00liz Following the
00:58:10I'm all...
