Category
🦄
CreativityTranscript
00:01Sign it, and you are a dog.
00:04Refuse, and you are worth less than one.
00:07I drained your mother's oil towels dry three years ago.
00:11I prepared that art myself.
00:14You embezzled the Von Nijm Foundation.
00:18Why did I get engaged to you?
00:20Because you were the Oil Queen's only daughter.
00:23Verana gives me ten times what you ever could.
00:25Throw her out!
00:28Stop looking, little sister.
00:31Everything you had belongs to me now.
00:34Mom.
00:36They took everything you left me.
00:38But I am still alive.
00:42Evelyn von Neppenen.
00:46That feeling.
00:48Your mother did not leave you a pile of bad debts.
00:51She left you a 300 billion trust fund.
00:54I can help you take it back.
00:57On one condition.
01:00Marry me.
01:01Will you sign it or not?
01:04You were trembling when you almost touched me.
01:06Neurological tactile overload disorder.
01:09Other people's touch feels like a blade against my skin.
01:12You are the exception.
01:14I caught your scent at your mother's funeral three years ago.
01:17And the mark appeared the next day.
01:20From the moment you sign.
01:23You are the matriarch of the Von Neemann family.
01:27Inform the Rothschilds.
01:29I am paying them a visit tonight.
01:33You are staring at my mark.
01:36It is burning.
01:38It lit up when you came close to me.
01:43At the funeral three years ago.
01:45When you passed me, I smelled cedarwood and jasmine.
01:49The pain stopped.
01:52The mark appeared the following day.
01:55It took me years to discover that your mother, mother had to attach addition to her will.
01:59I was to find you and protect you under the name of marriage.
02:04So mother sent you?
02:06Yes and no.
02:08The fund is real.
02:10But you are also the only person whose presence eases my condition.
02:15You are trading marriage for access to my warmth.
02:18I am trading the trust fund for access to your power.
02:23This is a transaction, not a favor.
02:27You have grown much harder since the funeral.
02:31Where are we going first?
02:34Change of route.
02:36Take us directly to the Rothschild estate.
02:39Your dear Fionn Nolan is holding a victory party there.
02:41I wonder what his face will look like when he sees us.
02:44It should be spectacular.
02:52Nolan is displaying a new charity auction jewel in the ballroom.
02:56The sapphire necklace belonged to Mrs Evelyn's mother.
02:59You said my reputation was now your reputation.
03:03I did.
03:04When I speak in there, you do not interrupt me.
03:08You are my wife.
03:10But tonight I represent the Von Neumann family.
03:13I am not your accessory.
03:15Lead the way, my lady.
03:18The ruined heiress has finally been thrown out.
03:21From now on, every Roth the resource belongs to Veronica and me.
03:28How did she get inside?
03:53How did she get inside?
03:55Security!
03:55I want to hear what it means to carry the Von Neumann name.
03:59My mother.
04:02Mother, Helena, placed a 300 billion trust fund in my name.
04:07Every child charity account from the past three years is now subject to my audit.
04:12Nolan.
04:14The necklace was purchased through foundation funds and I controlled authorization.
04:18Evelyn, this is a family gathering.
04:20We can discuss this private.
04:21There is no need.
04:22The necklace.
04:23The watch.
04:24Now.
04:30Beginning today, I will lawfully recover every Von Neumann asset the Rothschilds misappropriated.
04:35The first entry on that ledger is the three holding companies under Nolan's name.
04:40They now belong to me.
04:47You stayed half a step behind me the entire time.
04:53Because everyone could see that you held the primary position and I stood in support.
04:59That distance told the room the authority belonged to you.
05:07You were helping me establish my power.
05:12I was helping you fill the contract.
05:15It says you will recover what belongs to you.
05:20Tonight was only the first step.
05:23Your hands are warm.
05:25I can feel it from this distance.
05:30You said you first saw me at the funeral three years ago.
05:34Why did you not help me then?
05:36Why wait three years?
05:41Because three years ago, you had not yet been pushed to the edge.
05:46You still trusted Nolan.
05:48You still depended on the Rothschilds.
05:52If I had appeared, you would have seen me as one more person trying to use you.
06:01Only after other road was closed would you consider taking mine.
06:07So you have been waiting all this time?
06:10Yes.
06:11For three years.
06:16A contract marriage.
06:18This photograph will put a leash on both of them.
06:26Two of Nolan's three holding companies are empty shells.
06:29The third has active cash flow.
06:32All three moved money through the Rothschild Foundation,
06:34which places them directly under your audit authority.
06:42I will file the share freezing order first thing tomorrow morning.
06:46An anonymous delivery.
06:47There is no sender.
06:51Did you arrange this anonymous gift?
06:53No.
06:55A journalist was standing behind me at the funeral.
07:00Or someone paid him to make you suspicious of me.
07:07I am meeting Nolan at the Swiss bank tomorrow afternoon.
07:10Keep your phone on.
07:15Day one, I recovered the necks and the watch.
07:18Tomorrow, I take back the shares.
07:25Under the audit authorization, the shares of AC Holdings,
07:29Regissees, Undings, under Mr.
07:32Nolan Rothschild are pending seized.
07:35Both parties may negotiate before the order is formally executed.
07:41Evelyn, do you really have to take this so far?
07:45Sign these three documents and return the shares to the Foundation.
07:50I will not pursue charges for the funds you mistreated.
07:57Is this supposed to frighten me?
08:00I am not threatening you.
08:02I am giving you notice.
08:05Sign, and you may preserve what remains of your dignity.
08:09Refuse, and the media will receive a complete report tomorrow titled
08:14Rothschild fiancé suspected of criminal misappropriation.
08:22Do you believe Astra is helping you out of kindness?
08:27She investigated every detail of your life life three years or three years ago, including your sick little sister.
08:34She has copies of Lily's medical records.
08:36She even has the fine medical authorization you signed you signed before your mother died died.
08:43She knows your weaknesses better than you do.
08:50Sign or refuse.
08:55If I have not received the signed scans by three tomorrow afternoon, every document goes to the Attorney General's office.
09:04Evelyn!
09:05Do you truly believe a woman who cannot touch you would help you for no reason?
09:14I do not need to trust her.
09:18I only need to know that she wants you to lose even more than I do.
09:25Did Nolan sign?
09:28He signed.
09:30The shares have been returned to the Foundation.
09:34But he told you that I possess your sister's medical records.
09:40So it is true.
09:41I investigated Lily's condition three years ago.
09:46She needs a drug produced exclusively by Adrienne Torrio.
09:50So I investigated everything connected to Adrienne as well.
09:57I investigated Lily to use her against you.
10:02I needed to understand who you were willing to fight for.
10:10Once I knew the answer,
10:13I decided you were worth waiting three years for.
10:21An independent Swiss laboratory has developed a synthetic drug that could bypass Adrienne's patinate,
10:27but it requires six months of clinical trials.
10:33contact the laboratory for me.
10:36Use the Von Niemann Foundation's name, not yours.
10:44Are you proposing a second transaction?
10:47No.
10:49I am telling you that from now on,
10:52I do not need you to do things for me.
10:56I need you to work with me.
10:59Nolan posted it.
11:01He paid three entertainment counts to publish at the same time.
11:04The photograph is the one he took of you and Miss Astrea in the garden.
11:14Nolan took the photograph himself.
11:16He was hiding in the bushes that night.
11:22What does he want?
11:24What does he want?
11:25Is he using public opinion to force me to release the frozen shares?
11:29He demands the return of the shares and another 20 million euros in reputational damages.
11:35If you refuse, he will expose Lily's condition next.
11:42How do you intend to respond?
11:48And I police mine.
11:51Release as his summary of the Foundation's accounts from the past three years.
11:56The public can do the accroade at themselves.
11:59You will need a credible publication.
12:05Contact the Financial Times.
12:06I will provide the data personally.
12:09Publish at the title, Chairman of the Von Neyen Foundation.
12:12Not Astrea's wife.
12:17You are turning him into the man who stole his fiance's inheritance.
12:23That will hurt far more than calling you a woman who married for money.
12:29He tried to drown me in gossip.
12:31I will drown him in ledgers.
12:38One more thing.
12:40Why were you standing in the shadows that night?
12:43Had you stood beneath the light, his photograph would have shown two women discussing business instead of two women hiding
12:47something.
12:50I stood in the shadows because light hurts me.
13:01Several people came this afternoon claiming they needed to verify Miss Lily's hospital affirmations.
13:05They asked deal questions about her medication history and attending physician.
13:10We followed your instructions and disclosed nothing.
13:15What did they say?
13:18One man claimed to be a family representative.
13:22He also presented documents bearing the Rothschild family seal.
13:29Beginning today, I am the only person authorized to visit Lee.
13:33Stop everyone else, including anyone carrying Rothschild documents, and call the police immediately.
13:39Understood.
13:44It is me.
13:46Nolan sent people Lily's hospital.
13:48What is happening on your side?
13:50He served my family office with a legal notice, claiming that our marriage contract is fraudulent.
13:57He wants the court to declare it invalidated.
14:02On what grounds?
14:04He claims we have no substantial marital relationship.
14:08He says we sleep in separate rooms, never to displeasable affection in public, and are performing a marriage for congratulable
14:17purposes.
14:19How did you answer?
14:21My attorneys replied that whether we share a bedroom, private a bedroom, is a private marital matter.
14:31If the court demands surveillance footage, we will submit every Rothschild Foundation final violation as part of our counterclaim.
14:42That will be enough.
14:44How is Lily?
14:48She is stable.
14:50She has not woken up, and Nolan's people failed.
14:53Good.
14:54When you return tomorrow, we need to review Adrian's movements.
14:57Something is wrong on his side.
15:13Are you certain you want to publish this?
15:16It includes specific Roth Foundation transactions and Nolan's personal signatures.
15:22I am certain every count was verified and stamped by an independent audit firm.
15:31Understand.
15:34You understand how he will respond.
15:37He will claim you are attacking him to secure the financial benefits of new marriage.
15:47Let me ask you something.
15:50If you discovered that your fiancé had spent three years quietly transferring the inheritance your mother left you, and today
15:58was his final step, would you care if strangers called your response an attack?
16:07I understand.
16:09The article will be published tomorrow.
16:14Do not include his name in the byline or headline.
16:18This is my fight.
16:21Agreed.
16:23Is it exhausting to carry all of this alone?
16:29Yes.
16:30But once I have carried it to the end, it will no longer be heavy.
16:37The article is more restrained than I expected.
16:43Restraint makes it credible.
16:45Too much emotion would look like publicity.
16:50There is another matter.
16:53Adrian contexted Marcus this morning and asked for a private conversation.
16:59He claimed he wanted to check on his adopted daughter's personal life.
17:04Why would he appear now?
17:08Because he knows Nolan and Veronica are collapsing.
17:12Once the audit becomes public, the Rothschilds will cut Nolan loose.
17:19Adrian will lose two pieces on the board.
17:24So he intends to enter the game himself.
17:27He wants to meet you.
17:30Alone.
17:33What did you tell him?
17:35Either I tend with you, or there is no meeting.
17:38He agreed.
17:41You are coming with me?
17:43I thought that relationship with Hymns was hostile.
17:46It is.
17:48That is precisely why I must be there.
17:51If he wants you alone, he has identified something in you that lies beyond my reach.
17:59Tomorrow, then.
18:01Three in the afternoon.
18:03Evelyn.
18:04He may mention your birth mother.
18:08Are you prepared?
18:12I have already covered what my mother left me.
18:15I am not afraid of anything else.
18:24Astrid, you couldn't sit still as a child. I am surprised you came today.
18:30I can sit perfectly well.
18:32I simply do not want to sit across from you.
18:37You choose people more wisely than your mother did.
18:42You said you wanted to discuss your adopted daughter's personal life.
18:46I came.
18:47Say what you need to say.
18:53Do you know that your mother, Helena, sent me a letter one month before she died?
19:00The letter mentioned and addendum to her will concerning you.
19:03It does not appear in the trust documents currently in your possession.
19:09I examined every archive.
19:12There is no such addendum.
19:14Your failure to find it does not mean it does not exist.
19:19The document is not in Switzerland. It is in London.
19:25What do you want to exchange for that information?
19:29Nothing.
19:31I merely believe,
19:33merely believe that a young woman who has carried this
19:38deserves to understand what she has been carrying.
19:42You are right.
19:44I deserve to know.
19:45I will investigate London without going through you.
19:52Are you protecting her because of your illness?
19:55Or because of something else?
19:58Do you believe the addendum he mentioned is real?
20:02There is 60% chance.
20:08If it were a lie,
20:10you would not have mentioned London and your birth mother together.
20:14That combination is too specific.
20:19What do you think I should do?
20:22If you do not investigate,
20:24you will continue thinking about it.
20:28Even if it is false,
20:31at least you will have seen the card for yourself.
20:37Will you come with me?
20:41I will.
20:45The first light leaves tomorrow morning.
20:47I will book the tickets.
20:50Do not stay awake all night.
20:53The flight is six hours.
21:00This document is registered as Helena Von Neumann.
21:04Attachment to the will, Adnan.
21:07It was deposited one month before her death.
21:11Under the depositors' instructions,
21:14it may only be open the presence of a direct descendant.
21:19A blood descendant of the Von Neumann family.
21:27What is it?
21:30My mother allocated a separate fund in the AdMend.
21:34It was designated for the Marian West Memorial Fund 30 years ago.
21:39Marian West.
21:40Was that your birth mother's name?
21:46My mother never mentioned her.
21:51But the will set aside annual funding for a charity hospital,
21:55so court in hospital,
21:57so women at high risk of post-border complications.
22:03This fund is named re Miss Marian West.
22:06Miss Marian West.
22:08Her orphaned daughter, Evelyn Von Neumann,
22:12shall serve as its lifelong supervisor.
22:16This was her way of letting you know
22:18that she had always been doing something for your birth mother.
22:26My mother never told told me.
22:28She may have believed you should not carry that weight.
22:32So she carried it for you.
22:38Let us go.
22:40When we return, I want to visit that hospital.
22:43You have been reading those pages since we returned.
22:50I keep wondering.
22:52My mother spent 30 years maintaining a charity fund for Marian West
22:56without ever telling me.
22:58Perhaps she did not need you to know.
23:02She did not do it to earn your gratitude.
23:07She did it because it was what she wanted.
23:11You seem to stand the silence of carrying something for someone else.
23:19I checked the hospital's location.
23:22It is outside Geneva, not far from St. Mary's Hospital.
23:29You investigated that too?
23:34I prefer to understand things in advance.
23:37It has nothing to do with you.
23:42That is what she wanted to do.
23:43You are related to Mrs. Helena?
23:45I am her daughter. Evelyn.
23:48You look exactly like her.
23:50Your mother visit every year.
23:52She never said much.
23:54She would simply stand in front of that plaque for a while.
23:57Her final visit was two months before her death.
24:00She left something with me.
24:02She said,
24:03if my daughter ever comes here,
24:06give this to her.
24:09What did she leave?
24:11Come with me.
24:15She came every year to write one entry.
24:18Thirty years.
24:19She never missed a year.
24:25Thank you for keeping this key for all these years.
24:28Staring at one line from the past,
24:30until it consumes you,
24:31would waste the road your mother left open.
24:36I only just realized that she carried it alone for thirty years.
24:43The past is settled.
24:44Drowning in it changes nothing.
24:47Turn around.
24:52This is the strength your mother left you.
24:54It should not remain clenched in your fist.
24:57She gave you a road forward.
24:59Walk it.
25:00Do not imprison yourself fast.
25:10They move faster than I expected.
25:13Yesterday, Nolan was a key member of the family.
25:17Today, he is a former member.
25:20The Rothdrowns have always leaned
25:22in whichever direction the wind is blowing.
25:31He left through the estate side-side gate last night with one suit taste.
25:37He did not go the up, Swarth.
25:40He did not go to the airport.
25:42He appears to have driven south.
25:46The south is Adrian's territory.
25:52So the moment the Rothschilds cast him out,
25:55he ran directly to Adrian.
25:57Adrian will shelter him,
25:59but not out of kindness.
26:03Nolan still has one card he has not played.
26:12Adrian controls one-third of the global supply of rare disease drugs.
26:18He owns the patent for Lee's medication.
26:25Nolan is offering that card in exchange for Adrian's protection.
26:30He will use the drug negotiate for your surrender.
26:36We will turn that card into a worthless piece of paper.
26:50The three-month clinical trial is complete,
26:52and the data is better than expected.
26:54Once we receive the final toxiology report,
26:57we can apply for emergency use authorization.
27:03When did you begin the trial?
27:08The day Nolan first used Lily against me.
27:16You are always one move ahead of me.
27:23I am going to the Labradoritory.
27:26Keep an eye on Adrian while I am gone.
27:31Were you caught in the rain?
27:35The car was parked some distance away.
27:38I had to walk.
27:44Have a clean cashmere blanket and dry towels brought up.
27:53What did the laboratory say?
27:57The toxiology report passed.
28:00Lily could receive the alternative drug within two weeks.
28:07You checked the remaining term of Adrian's patent?
28:10While I was at it.
28:12His core patent expires in four months.
28:15If you secure emergency authorization first,
28:20the alternative formula can be released globally
28:25as soon as the patent expires.
28:28How long did you spend investigating this?
28:35A few hours.
28:37Nothing worth mentioning.
28:43Why are you doing this?
28:45The contract does not require you to investigate my opponent's patents.
29:01You should not be surprised that the Rothschilds cast you out.
29:08I knew they would cut me loose.
29:10But I still have leverage over Evelyn.
29:13Her sister's condition can only be treated with a drug produced by your company.
29:23So you came here to bargain.
29:25Cut off Lily's medication.
29:28And Evelyn will come begging.
29:31The George Foundation.
29:34The Foundation, the Chip, and the Controlling Rights
29:36will all become yours.
29:40I only want ten million and a one-way ticket to South America.
29:48You spent three years, says Evelyn's fiancé.
29:52And she dismantled you in three days.
29:57What makes you believe you are in a position to negotiate with me?
30:03Are you willing to work with me or not?
30:08I will consider it on one condition.
30:12Tell me everything contained in the Adam to Helena's will.
30:17Do not lie.
30:19I know you have read it.
30:25Helena allocated a separate fund to Evelyn's birth mother.
30:29She also left a safe deposit key.
30:31The key is hidden inside Marion West's old grave.
30:36Inside the grave?
