00:00:024 years. This home was covered in traces of him and traces of Mallory but there was barely
00:00:07anything left of me.
00:00:13A new city. A new airport. But this time, I didn't care anymore. When I turned my phone
00:00:17back on, a frenzy of notifications flooded in. It's all from Ethan.
00:00:23I was terrified at 30,000 feet. With oxygen masks dangling, I made a silent vow.
00:00:30If I survive and he's there to pick me up, I'm turning down the rocation offer and staying.
00:00:374 a.m., just as I landed, an Instagram notification lit up my phone. My husband had posted a photo
00:00:44of Mallory from behind pulling her suitcase. The caption read, Chauffeur Duty number 37.
00:00:52Precious cargo. Delivered safe and sound.
00:00:56But when we landed, there were no missed calls, no messages. He went to get Mallory. He remembered
00:01:04all of her flights but never mine. In our 4 years of marriage, I had taken 109 flights.
00:01:12And I had taken a cab home 109 times.
00:01:21The worst was a stormy night when a fake rideshare driver wouldn't let go of my suitcase. I hid in
00:01:26the
00:01:26terminal bathroom for half an hour before I finally get an Uber.
00:01:33Kind of a late night to be traveling all by yourself, young lady. Hubby or family couldn't come pick you
00:01:36up?
00:01:37It's fine. It's too late to bother anyone.
00:01:42Yes, never again. My relocation application had been approved,
00:01:47and the divorce pairs were signed. This was the last time I would ever land for him.
00:01:57Mrs. Prescott, your husband got in maybe half an hour ago. Long night for both of you, huh?
00:02:03The neighborhood security guard scanned me through the gate, and I just nodded without saying a word.
00:02:09The elevator took me to the 12th floor. I inserted the key into the lock. The door opened from the
00:02:15inside.
00:02:16Ethan was standing in the entryway, holding a glass of water, his hair completely messy.
00:02:21Oh, you're back. Thought I heard the elevator.
00:02:23Yeah.
00:02:27When'd you land?
00:02:284am.
00:02:29Wait, that early? I thought you'd be home tomorrow.
00:02:33I sent you the message, the flight number, the landing time, everything.
00:02:37Things have just been so crazy busy lately. I must have missed it.
00:02:41Busy with what?
00:02:43Mallory's project ran into some issues, and she was a total wreck. I stayed with her for a while just
00:02:48to talk her down.
00:02:53He took my suitcase, leaned it against the wall, and turned toward the living room.
00:02:59Why didn't you just tell me to come get you?
00:03:01Seriously, I would have come.
00:03:03Weren't you already out picking up Mallory?
00:03:05Well, that's different. Mallory's a young girl, and it's not safe to be handling the airport alone in the middle
00:03:08of the night.
00:03:09Plus, she's right on my way back. If you'd just given me a heads up, I easily could have picked
00:03:12you up, too.
00:03:14How was the flight, anyway? Pretty smooth?
00:03:17It was fine.
00:03:18Hmm.
00:03:24I walked into the bathroom to wash my hands. On the counter sat a tube of lipstick.
00:03:31A dusty pink, not my shade.
00:03:35Next to it was an unopped pack of cotton pads and a small bottle of makeup remover.
00:03:39Ethan, whose lipstick is this on the counter?
00:03:46Oh, that's Mallory's. She forgot it the last time she came over for dinner.
00:03:49Does she come over a lot?
00:03:51I mean, not that much. Maybe two or three times a week.
00:03:55When you're away on a trip, she usually drops by to help me tidy up the place, cook a meal,
00:03:59stuff like that.
00:04:01Two or three times a week.
00:04:02My trips usually lasted five to seven days, which meant that whenever I wasn't home, Mallory was practically here every
00:04:09single day.
00:04:11Does she have a key to our place?
00:04:17Yeah, I had a spare maid for her.
00:04:20Just in case something happens while you're traveling, someone needs to be able to get into the apartment.
00:04:26Why didn't you bother to mention that to me?
00:04:30What's there to talk about? It's Mallory.
00:04:32She's not some stranger.
00:04:34He said Mallory wasn't a stranger.
00:04:37Then what was I?
00:04:40I dried my hands and walked into the living room.
00:04:43His phone lit up on the coffee table.
00:04:46He picked it up and glanced at the screen.
00:04:49Never start drama.
00:04:50It's not that I didn't want to blow up at him.
00:04:52It's just that making a scene wasn't going to fix anything.
00:04:56Mallory's asking if I can take her to her physical tomorrow.
00:04:59She's terrified about getting blood drawn.
00:05:00Go.
00:05:01Wait.
00:05:02You don't mind?
00:05:04Why would I mind-ered?
00:05:05Good.
00:05:06I knew you'd be cool about it.
00:05:08Mallory always says you have the best temper, that you never start drama.
00:05:12He would just call me petty, tell me Mallory was just a friend, and say I was being completely unreasonable.
00:05:25Ethan, what is Mallory's name saved as in your phone?
00:05:29Mal.
00:05:29Why?
00:05:31What about mine?
00:05:32He frowned slightly, clearly confused by the sudden interrogation.
00:05:36He flipped his phone over and looked at the screen.
00:05:38Elise Prescott.
00:05:41Something wrong?
00:05:42Mallory got a cute, intimate nickname.
00:05:44I got my full, legal name.
00:05:46No.
00:05:48Then let's get some sleep.
00:05:50You've got heavy bags under your eyes.
00:05:53Oh, by the way, don't touch that paper bag on the kitchen counter.
00:05:56It's a neck pillow I got for Mallory.
00:05:58She has a long-haul flight next week.
00:06:02Last winter, I had explicitly told him that my neck ached terribly during my endless long-haul flights and that
00:06:08I wanted a high-quality neck pillow.
00:06:09He had scoffed at the idea, telling me that planes provided free pillows and that spending money on one was
00:06:15a complete waste of cash.
00:06:17The bedroom door closed, cutting off the light.
00:06:21I sat alone in the crushing dark of the living room, tears finally blurring my vision.
00:06:26I reached into the hidden compartment of my Tuskace, pulling out the crisp sheets of the divorce agreement.
00:06:34Just then, a call popped up from the person in charge of the assignment on my phone.
00:06:44Elise, your visa and flight are all set.
00:06:46You leave next Monday.
00:06:47Is everything squared away at home?
00:06:49All set.
00:06:58Hey, I need to hit the hospital today.
00:07:00Can you drive me?
00:07:00The hospital? What's wrong?
00:07:02My ears are messing with me.
00:07:04Ever since the cabin pressure changed on my last flight, my left ear won't stop ringing.
00:07:07Is it bad?
00:07:08I don't know. I need to get it checked out.
00:07:14Okay, I'll drive you. What time is your appointment?
00:07:16Ten.
00:07:17Perfect. I'll head over to Mallory's place first to grab a package for her, and I'll be back to pick
00:07:21you up at 9.30.
00:07:25Can you just drop me off first?
00:07:26The delivery guy left a huge box down in her apartment's underground garage.
00:07:31The garage lights are super dim at night, and she's way too scared to go down there and drag it
00:07:35up by herself.
00:07:36Why can't she go during the day?
00:07:37Because she works during the day.
00:07:44And honestly, it's a massive, heavy box.
00:07:46She can't drag that thing up the elevator by herself.
00:07:48Look, it'll only take half an hour. I'll be right back.
00:07:529.30 came and went.
00:07:5310 o'clock came and went.
00:07:55By 10.15, the hospital app buzzed, alerting me that my appointment had been canceled due to a no-so.
00:08:01I called him.
00:08:02It rang six times before he finally Arlie picked up.
00:08:10Where are you? It's past ten.
00:08:12Hey, sorry. Mally wanted to go shopping after we grabbed the package.
00:08:16She needs a new suitcase and wanted me to help her pick one out.
00:08:18The background noise was loud, sounding like a crowded shopping mallt.
00:08:22I missed my appointment, Ethan.
00:08:24Can't you just reschedule for this afternoon? It's not like it's a medical emergency.
00:08:28You promised to drive me.
00:08:30I know, I know, but I can't really walk out on Malin right now.
00:08:32She's incredibly indecided. If I leave, she's never going to be able to pick anything out.
00:08:37Just go ahead without me. I'll head straight home as soon as I'm done here.
00:08:40Don't bother.
00:08:41He was helping Malini pick out a suitcase.
00:08:44While I sat at home waiting for him for an hour and a half, the ringing in my left ear
00:08:48growing deafling.
00:08:49I hung up, called an Uber, and went to the hospital alone.
00:08:55I had to check in again and wait for 40 minutes.
00:08:59After the examination, the doctor's expression turned grim.
00:09:03The eardrum is severely convestrated. When did this start?
00:09:07A week ago, during a flight.
00:09:09Was there severe turbulence?
00:09:10We hit a violent pocket of clear air turbulence.
00:09:12You should have come to the ER right away.
00:09:14You've experienced some mild hearing loss in your left ear.
00:09:16We need to start you on medication and keep a close eye on it.
00:09:18But I'm telling you right now, flying is completely out of the question for the next three months.
00:09:22What if I don't have a choice?
00:09:23It will get worsened. In a worst-case scenario, you're looking at permanent hearing loss.
00:09:27Holding my discharge papers, I walked out of the exam room and sat on a bench in the hallway for
00:09:31a long time.
00:09:32Elise, honey, are you back? How was your flight?
00:09:35I'm back, Mom. Everything was fine.
00:09:37Ethan picked you up, right?
00:09:38Yeah, he did.
00:09:40Good. As long as you two are happy, that's all that matters to me.
00:09:43Mom, the relocation was approved. I leave next week.
00:09:46For how long?
00:09:47A one-year contract.
00:09:48And Ethan is really okay with you going that far away all by yourself?
00:09:53Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
00:09:57Elise, be honest with me. Is something going on between you and Ethan?
00:10:01When your dad was hospitalized last time...
00:10:03You took a whole week off to take care of him, and Ethan didn't even call once.
00:10:06The time Dad was hospitalized, I had stayed by his hospital bed for seven days.
00:10:10Ethan hadn't called once, nor had he sent a single text.
00:10:16Hey, Mallory has a terrible cold. I'm at her place making her some ginger soup.
00:10:19My dad is in the hospital.
00:10:21Oh. Oh, is it serious? You should probably stay a few more days then. I've got things covered at home.
00:10:25He had things covered at home. With Mallory.
00:10:31Mom, I'm really fine.
00:10:32Stop, I'm Corey.
00:10:34I hung up. At three in the afternoon, a text from Ethan flashed on my screen.
00:10:41I stared at the words.
00:10:44Only after he had spent his entire morning catering to Mallory's whims,
00:10:47trailing behind her through department stores pick out a damn suitcase,
00:10:50did he finally remember to ask about his own wife.
00:10:54Nothing major. Just need to rest.
00:10:57Good to hear. I'll make dinner tonight. What are you in the mood for?
00:11:01Whatever.
00:11:02Whatever.
00:11:08Of course. It was always a package deal, wasn't it?
00:11:11Even a simple dinner at home had to involve her.
00:11:14He couldn't even offer to feed his sick wife without inviting his best friend to play house.
00:11:18I didn't bother replying.
00:11:21I put my phone in my pocket, took a deep, steady-izing breath, and dialed another number.
00:11:25Hey, Mr. Vance?
00:11:27About my flight next Monday, is there any way we can move it up to Saturday?
00:11:30Earlier. Sure, we can do that. Are you sure?
00:11:35I was terrified that if he threw me even a shred of kindness, I would hesitate, falter, and unpack my
00:11:40bags all over again.
00:11:41It was just like every single time I landed at that wretched airport. I would always linger an extra-pathetic
00:11:46minute at the arrival's gate, scanning the crowd, drowning in a desperate, foolish hope.
00:11:50What if he actually shows up this time?
00:11:55But he never did.
00:11:57And he never would.
00:12:03I'm certain.
00:12:08Hey, Elise! I'm here!
00:12:10Mallory stood at the door, holding a bag of groceries, beaming with a wide smile. Ethan followed closely behind, carrying
00:12:16another bag for her.
00:12:18Mallory said she's taking over the kitchen tonight. You just kick back and relax.
00:12:22I sat on the couch, watching Mallory walk into the kitchen.
00:12:28Elise, did you move the olive oil? It used to be on the second shelf on the left.
00:12:31I reorganized everything last week.
00:12:33Found it.
00:12:35Ethan, can you get the cast iron skillet down for me?
00:12:37Ethan immediately hurried in and laved the heavy pot down from the top cabinet.
00:12:41The two of them moved in perfect synchronization in my kitchen, looking like a couple who had been together for
00:12:47decades.
00:12:48Sitting in the living room, I felt entirely like a house guest.
00:12:51Elise, don't sit all the way over there. Come talk to us.
00:12:58Ethan said your ears are bothering you. Is it bad?
00:13:00No, it's fine.
00:13:02I honestly don't know how you survived flying so much. I could never.
00:13:05Every time I fly, my anxiety goes completely through the roof.
00:13:08Like, if I don't have someone waiting for me at arrivals, I literally lose my mind.
00:13:12And that was why Ethan had gone 37 times.
00:13:14Elise, do you always just go to the airport by yourself when you travel? Ethan doesn't drive you?
00:13:19Oh, she's fine on her own. She's way more independent than you. She doesn't need anyone babying her.
00:13:24It wasn't that I didn't need anyone to care.
00:13:28It was that even when I did, no one was listening.
00:13:35Well, that's true. Aline's really is a superwoman.
00:13:38Ethan, unlike me, I honestly don't know how I'd survive without Ethan.
00:13:45Dinner was served, beautifully presented, and smelling delicious.
00:13:50Ethan, try the ribs.
00:13:52I made them exactly how you like them.
00:13:54With that extra sweet VBU glaze.
00:13:56So good.
00:13:59Seriously, look at Mally's cooking.
00:14:01If you had half her skills in the kitchen, I wouldn't be stuck eating takeout every single day.
00:14:08He was openly criticizing my cooking right in front of Mallory.
00:14:11While I was away running myself ratty for clients, he was at home enjoying Mallory's home-cooked meals.
00:14:17And now that I was back, I was being compared to her.
00:14:23My bad.
00:14:24Oh, Elise, don't listen to him. Ethan just doesn't have a filter.
00:14:30Midway through the kneel, Mallory pulled out her phone to show me something.
00:14:36Elisa, look.
00:14:38Ethan and I share our live locations so he can always keep an eye on me.
00:14:45One time, my flight was delayed, and he noticed my dot hadn't moved, so he called me out of the
00:14:51blue just to check on me.
00:14:52The screen was a map interface.
00:14:54Their two profile icons overlapped perfectly.
00:14:57She shared live locations with my husband.
00:14:59Meanwhile, I had sent him my flight information, and he hadn't even bothered to look at it.
00:15:04Elise, do you want to join our circle too?
00:15:07No, thanks.
00:15:08She doesn't need to.
00:15:09She takes perfectly good care of herself.
00:15:12Mallory excused herself to use the restroom.
00:15:14When she returned, she was holding something in her hand.
00:15:17It was a silver bracelet with a tiny airplane charm dangling from it.
00:15:21Ethan, look what I found in the bathroom cabinet.
00:15:23It's so pretty.
00:15:25I recognized that bracelet eminently.
00:15:27It was the first anniversary gift I had given to Ethan.
00:15:29I had designed the airplane charm myself.
00:15:31Its meaning was, with every takeoff, you'll be waiting for my landing.
00:15:35He had worn it for three months before taking it off, claiming it was annoying to wear in the shower.
00:15:39Oh, just an old bracelet.
00:15:40It's not worth anything.
00:15:42If you like it, go ahead and keep it.
00:15:43He gave away our anniversary gift to Mallory.
00:15:49Elaine, do you mind?
00:15:51With every takeoff, you'll be waiting for my landing.
00:15:53How utterly pathetic.
00:15:55I don't mind.
00:15:56Keep it.
00:16:00Ethan, time to wake up!
00:16:02Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, I set breakfast on the table.
00:16:05White toast, two over-easy eggs, the cheap drip coffee he liked better than the expensive one I had bought
00:16:11him for Christmas.
00:16:12He walked out, rubbing his eyes, and sat down to eat.
00:16:14Why are you up so early today?
00:16:16Couldn't sleep.
00:16:18Mallory texted me last night.
00:16:19She wants to throw a birthday party for me next month.
00:16:21What do you think?
00:16:23His birthday was on the 15th of next month.
00:16:26Last year on his birthday, I had rushed back from a business trip with a cake in hand,
00:16:30only to open the door and find that Mallory had already decorated the place with balloons.
00:16:35Mallory already bought one.
00:16:36Just put yours in the fridge.
00:16:37Seeing the cake in my hands, he had said,
00:16:38Mallory already bought one.
00:16:40Just put yours in the fridge.
00:16:41That cake sat in the fridge for three days before I finally threw it in the trash.
00:16:45Do whatever you want.
00:16:48All right, I'll talk it over with Mallory then.
00:16:51Oh, by the way, she asked me to drive her new car to the dealership for its first maintenance check
00:16:55today.
00:16:56I might be back a bit late this afternoon.
00:17:00Okay.
00:17:03Wow, why are you being so easy-goating today?
00:17:05I'm always easy-goated.
00:17:07He smiled, thinking nothing of it, and went back to eating his toast.
00:17:12Ethan.
00:17:15Yeah?
00:17:17If one day I suddenly wasn't around anymore, would you miss me?
00:17:20His fork froze over the egg.
00:17:24What kind of question is that?
00:17:27Just asking.
00:17:29Where else would you go?
00:17:30Stop letting your mind wander.
00:17:32He stood up and put his plate in the sink.
00:17:37I'm heading out.
00:17:39I'll be back right after I help Mallory with her car.
00:17:43He changed his trousers and grabbed his keys.
00:17:46Ethan.
00:17:47What now?
00:17:50Can you please stay home today?
00:17:54Just today?
00:17:58He frowned.
00:18:00Elise, I already made plans with Mallory.
00:18:02I can't just flank on her.
00:18:06Do you actually have something going on?
00:18:12I want you to stay.
00:18:13I want you to sit with me for just one afternoon.
00:18:16I want to tell you that my plane almost crashed,
00:18:19and that my ear might never fully recover.
00:18:22I want to tell you that this is the last time we will ever talk face-to-face.
00:18:27It's nothing.
00:18:28Go ahead.
00:18:29All right.
00:18:29See you later.
00:18:30The front door clicked shut.
00:18:33After the distant chime of the elevator echoed away,
00:18:36the entire apartment fell into absolute silence.
00:18:42I stood up and began to pack.
00:18:48I didn't have many belongings in the closet.
00:18:51Everything fit into just two suitcases.
00:18:54On the bathroomer, only his things and Mallory's ripstick remained.
00:19:03I left the row of strawberry yogurts in the fridge untouched.
00:19:08I picked up the framed wedding photo on the bookshelf,
00:19:11looked at it for a moment,
00:19:12and then placed it back down, face down against the shelf.
00:19:20Finally, I walked into the living room.
00:19:23I spread out the divorce agreement on the coffee table.
00:19:27Three pages of standard white paper,
00:19:29with my signature already inked on the bottom left of the final page.
00:19:33The right side was completely blanky, waiting for his.
00:19:38Next to it, I left a post-it note.
00:19:41The rowcation paperwork is finished, and I'm leaving.
00:19:44Please review the agreement.
00:19:45If you agree, sign it and mail it back to the company's legal department.
00:19:53Pulling my two suitcases, I walked to the entryway.
00:19:55I took one last look at the place I called home.
00:19:58The dent on the couch where he always sat,
00:20:00his sneakers lined up by the shoe rack,
00:20:02and the neck pal embroidered with an M resting on the kitchen counter.
00:20:06Four years.
00:20:07This home was covered in traces of him and traces of Mallory,
00:20:10but there was barely anything left of me.
00:20:12I pulled the door shut gently, leaving it unlocked.
00:20:15Downstairs, the Uber was already waiting.
00:20:17As the car drove out of the neighborhood, I didn't look back.
00:20:20I switched my phone to airplane mode.
00:20:22Three hours later, the plane landed.
00:20:24A new city, a new airport,
00:20:26and no one waiting for me at the arrivals gate.
00:20:28But this time, I didn't care anymore.
00:20:30When I turned my phone back on,
00:20:32a frenzy of notifications flooded in.
00:20:34It's all from Ethan.
00:20:39Are they back?
00:20:41Why me?
00:20:43Why won't they stop?
00:20:49Yeah, it's me.
00:21:00It's okay.
00:21:02Everything's going to be okay.
00:21:15I got it.
00:21:16I'll just head back after this.
00:21:18Thanks, Mia Mia.
00:21:19No problem.
00:21:28My Uber should be here soon.
00:21:41My Uber should be here soon.
00:21:50Hey, beautiful.
00:21:51What are you doing here?
00:21:52It's getting late.
00:21:53You should come home with us.
00:21:55No, thanks.
00:21:56I'm good here.
00:21:57You should go.
00:22:00Come on.
00:22:01Let's have some fun.
00:22:02I bet that mouth tastes good.
00:22:04Help!
00:22:05Somebody help!
00:22:07Nobody's coming to help.
00:22:08You are ours tonight.
00:22:12Hey!
00:22:24Let her go.
00:22:43You saved me.
00:22:45Are you okay?
00:22:46You're bleeding out.
00:22:48Wait!
00:22:49Stay with me!
00:22:56No one has ever seen me like this.
00:23:00You're dead.
00:23:02Stop moving or you'll bleed more.
00:23:12Thanks for saving me back there.
00:23:14I'm a nursing school dropout.
00:23:16You'll survive.
00:23:17What's your name?
00:23:23Better sleep off the pain.
00:23:26I'll find you some antibiotics.
00:23:33Boss!
00:23:42Hope you make it, stranger.
00:23:46Dante Valerius, leader of the Valerius Mafia, denies involvement in the Chicago riot.
00:23:51It's him.
00:23:52The man in the alley.
00:23:54Is he a Mafia boss?
00:24:05Sir.
00:24:06We found the mysterious woman.
00:24:16Bring her.
00:24:17Now.
00:24:20Dante Valerius is supposed to be dead.
00:24:22Whoever saved him just saved another monster.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25The world's better with one less murderer.
00:24:27A Mafia king.
00:24:28A killer.
00:24:29He said he'd kill me if he lived.
00:24:31I need to run.
00:24:34Nice ass, doll.
00:24:43No one touches a valerius woman.
00:24:46You're me, Espinosa?
00:24:48Maybe.
00:24:49You're coming with us.
00:24:50Hey, what's going on?
00:24:51Let me go.
00:24:52Let me go.
00:24:59Hello, wife.
00:25:04Wife?
00:25:04Wife?
00:25:05Yes, you, Mia.
00:25:07You're going to be my wife.
00:25:10I-I thought you brought me here to kill me.
00:25:13No.
00:25:14That's not why you're here.
00:25:19Sign this.
00:25:23It-it's a marriage arrangement?
00:25:25You want me to-
00:25:26Marry me.
00:25:27Yes.
00:25:28Why?
00:25:28I'm a nobody, and you're the Mafia boss.
00:25:31Are you saying...
00:25:33No to a Mafia boss?
00:25:38Um.
00:25:43Do you know what happens to people who say no to me?
00:25:49You-you kill them?
00:25:51Exactly.
00:25:54No.
00:25:55Open your eyes.
00:25:56Look at me.
00:25:58You want to marry me, yes?
00:26:00I-I-I don't know.
00:26:05You are saying no, but your pupils dilate.
00:26:10Say yes, and be mine.
00:26:19I-I'm not your wife yet.
00:26:23Sign the contract, then.
00:26:25You can have some time to think about it, too.
00:26:27Take it and go home.
00:26:30That's it?
00:26:32You'll let me go?
00:26:34Yes, Mia.
00:26:35Go home.
00:26:36Is this some kind of a trap?
00:26:44Shit.
00:26:45This is a trap.
00:26:54I'll see you at the altar.
00:27:01Never see you this whipped about a woman, brother.
00:27:04Keep eyes on her.
00:27:06I want to know everything she does.
00:27:09Yes, brother.
00:27:11A Mafia boss wants me to be his wife?
00:27:14This is ridiculous.
00:27:15Why am I even thinking about this?
00:27:19Good.
00:27:20Food is here.
00:27:26Mia Espinosa needs to talk.
00:27:32Save me, sister.
00:27:34What happened?
00:27:35What happened?
00:27:43Palacio, our worst enemy.
00:27:45Just parked outside your little lover's apartment.
00:27:52She could be his spy, you know?
00:27:58What?
00:27:58What is going on?
00:27:59Who are you?
00:28:00Name is Franco Palacio.
00:28:02I'm Dante Valerius' worst nightmare.
00:28:06Why are you taking my brother?
00:28:08What do you want from me?
00:28:09Your brother here owes me a lot of money.
00:28:13Please, stop!
00:28:16I was going to take you as a payment.
00:28:18Now I know Valerius is obsessed with you.
00:28:20I have a new plan.
00:28:21I don't know what you're talking about.
00:28:24Playing dumb?
00:28:25Let me give you a little motivation.
00:28:30I'm going to carve out your brother's eye.
00:28:33Yes, to what?
00:28:34To marry Dante Valerius.
00:28:36And give him an heir.
00:28:39What?
00:28:43Why do you want me to marry Enemy?
00:28:50Dante is untouchable.
00:28:52Too clean.
00:28:53But you, you can ruin him.
00:28:55A wife, a baby.
00:28:57You'll be Dante's weakness.
00:28:59That's my weapon.
00:29:02So tell me, little Mia.
00:29:04Do I start with his left eye?
00:29:07Think about it, brother.
00:29:08You really believe she saved you by chance?
00:29:11You, the Mafia King of the East Coast?
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:21Where are you going?
00:29:23If she's working for Palacio, I'll make her talk.
00:29:33He's headed your way.
00:29:34Wrap it up soon.
00:29:43Looks like your brother's losing an eye after all.
00:29:47Stop!
00:29:48I'll do it!
00:29:54Good.
00:29:55You have one month to get pregnant.
00:29:57Until then, your brother stays with me.
00:30:00Safe and sound.
00:30:04Yesterday, I was just a part-time server.
00:30:07Now I'm part of a Mafia war.
00:30:09Was I really wrong to save Dante three months ago?
00:30:14Are they back?
00:30:16Why me?
00:30:18Why won't they stop?
00:30:35Why does it hurt this much?
00:30:37Seeing her cry.
00:30:43Yeah, it's me.
00:30:46It's me.
00:30:54It's okay.
00:30:56Everything's going to be okay.
00:31:04I can't ask her about Palacio.
00:31:06Not like this.
00:31:16You're afraid of me?
00:31:19No.
00:31:20I'm not scared.
00:31:29You're my woman, Mia.
00:31:31Your tears belong to me.
00:31:36I'm not scared.
00:31:36I'm not scared.
00:31:42I-I haven't agreed to anything.
00:31:44Yet.
00:31:45Are you saying no to me?
00:31:47I need to save my brother.
00:31:49I need to give him a baby.
00:31:51I have no choice.
00:31:55We should talk.
00:31:56It's a contract marriage, right?
00:31:58We should discuss terms.
00:32:01Her lips.
00:32:03I wonder if they taste as soft as they look.
00:32:10Agreed.
00:32:11We should talk.
00:32:16What are you doing?
00:32:17To take you somewhere to talk.
00:32:19Don't worry.
00:32:20You'll be safe.
00:32:23I don't know why, but he feels...
00:32:25Safe.
00:32:30You ready to negotiate a marriage contract with me?
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:35Let's do this.
00:32:37Read carefully.
00:32:42Once you leave this room, there's no turning back.
00:32:46I don't know.
00:32:53If you have any concerns, we'll discuss such.
00:32:55The contract doesn't mention sleeping arrangement.
00:32:59Sleeping arrangement?
00:33:01Yeah, I mean...
00:33:02We're getting married.
00:33:05And...
00:33:06It's natural that we...
00:33:12It's natural we fuck?
00:33:16Do you want me to fuck you?
00:33:21God, he's dangerous.
00:33:23And too hot.
00:33:25But I need this.
00:33:26I need to get pregnant to save my brother.
00:33:31I mean...
00:33:34That's what husbands and wives do?
00:33:39But we're not real husband and wife.
00:33:42It's a business.
00:33:43A contract.
00:33:45You...
00:33:45You are...
00:33:47Attractive and rich.
00:33:48Any woman would want you...
00:33:50You think I'm attractive?
00:33:51Yes.
00:33:52Are you lying to me?
00:33:53No.
00:33:54No way he knows.
00:33:56He's just messing with my head.
00:33:57I need to with...
00:33:59Let's see how attractive you think I am.
00:34:17You'll be begging me for mercy.
00:34:19What the hell?
00:34:21You ungrateful bastard!
00:34:22You dare humiliate me?
00:34:24You really think you're someone now?
00:34:27Someone's gonna change everything?
00:34:32Welcome aboard flight 233 to New York City.
00:34:35Wi-Fi is now available.
00:34:37We wish you a pleasant journey.
00:34:39Sir, your fiancé received her PhD from Harvard today.
00:34:42As requested, we've secured her a partner track offer at ThroneTech.
00:34:45Her celebration dinner's all set.
00:34:46Starts once you land.
00:34:48Noted.
00:34:48Good work, Adam.
00:34:49Also, Anya Throne from ThroneTech has been quietly courting us for investment.
00:34:54Send me the deck.
00:35:03Parker, just tell my grandma I'd rather die than marry John Caldwell.
00:35:06Boss, the Caldwells are our best shot at the titan.
00:35:09It's a trillion dollar powerhouse.
00:35:11Your grandma sees this marriage as the golden ticket.
00:35:13We can't afford to say no.
00:35:15I'm not marrying a notorious playboy to save my company.
00:35:18I'll handle it on my own.
00:35:20The Caldwell family has already surpassed us in market share.
00:35:23Unless you marry someone else first.
00:35:26Marry someone else?
00:35:32Uh, that button calls the crew.
00:35:35Oh, thanks.
00:35:40First time flying first class?
00:35:43Yeah.
00:35:45I'm used to something a bit different.
00:35:48Your champagne, sir.
00:35:52You prevented a global farming and a nuclear war.
00:35:55My country owes its survival to you.
00:35:57To peace.
00:36:05What did you do in Africa?
00:36:08Just some volunteer stuff.
00:36:10Built shelters, took care of kids.
00:36:12Oh, wow.
00:36:13That's pretty cool.
00:36:15He probably didn't make a cent doing that.
00:36:18But the way he talks about it, like it mattered,
00:36:21he's unlike any other man I've ever met.
00:36:24I'm Anya, by the way.
00:36:26Arthur.
00:36:29Well, Arthur, this might sound totally insane, but...
00:36:35Would you mind doing me a favor?
00:36:37What favor?
00:36:39Let me introduce myself properly.
00:36:41I'm the CEO of ThroneTech, the heiress to Throne's fortune.
00:36:44I own five properties and two private estates.
00:36:47Annual income, $1 billion.
00:36:50And...
00:36:52I want you to be my husband.
00:36:56What?
00:36:57I mean, a fake marriage.
00:36:59Just for a year.
00:37:00I need someone to play my husband,
00:37:02and you just feel like the right man for me.
00:37:05Is that a joke?
00:37:06I'm serious.
00:37:08You can trust me.
00:37:09Google me.
00:37:09You'll see that I have no scandals.
00:37:10No addictions.
00:37:12Nothing shady in my past.
00:37:13If you agree, we can sign the paperwork today.
00:37:16And...
00:37:16I'll offer $100,000 a month,
00:37:18plus a waterfront con in Midtown.
00:37:20In your name only.
00:37:23Tempting.
00:37:25But you have picked the wrong man.
00:37:27Already taken.
00:37:28I'm flying back to get married.
00:37:31Oh.
00:37:33I did not see that coming.
00:37:34I...
00:37:35Sorry.
00:37:37So that is it.
00:37:38Guess I just have to suck it up.
00:37:41You do not seem that helpless to me.
00:37:44Hmm?
00:37:47Your AI subsidiary,
00:37:49under ThroneTech,
00:37:51it has got potential.
00:37:52The Titan Group will be interested.
00:37:54But if that is your pitch deck
00:37:56to win them over,
00:37:58you are toast.
00:38:01Really?
00:38:01You might be a nice guy,
00:38:03but you don't know a thing
00:38:04about how the business world works.
00:38:08We might not be getting married,
00:38:10but I can still help you.
00:38:11Hey, what are you doing?
00:38:13Fixing your pitch.
00:38:14You're asking for $100 million?
00:38:16Try $100 billion.
00:38:18Excuse me?
00:38:19What?
00:38:21There.
00:38:22Done.
00:38:24What the hell did you just do?
00:38:26You sent that?
00:38:27You actually sent it?
00:38:29You were under saying yourself.
00:38:31You hijacked my pitch!
00:38:32Do you have any idea
00:38:34what you've just done?
00:38:35I saved your pitch.
00:38:38Saved?
00:38:38You've ruined it!
00:38:48Did you just touch me?
00:38:51It was an accident.
00:38:53Turbulity.
00:38:54I was trying to help.
00:38:55Oh, you've done enough to help.
00:38:59Sir?
00:39:00Ma'am?
00:39:00Is everything alright?
00:39:01We're good.
00:39:02She just scored
00:39:03a $100 billion investment.
00:39:04She's a bit emotional.
00:39:07Emotional?
00:39:09Well, congratulations.
00:39:13Trust me.
00:39:14The Titan Group
00:39:15doesn't go for small gains.
00:39:16Asking for $100 million?
00:39:18That's an insult.
00:39:19$100 billion?
00:39:19That's where the conversation starts.
00:39:22You want to win them over?
00:39:24You need to think bigger.
00:39:26Did you seriously just say that?
00:39:28You're welcome.
00:39:29Great.
00:39:30First you messed with my file.
00:39:31Then you humiliated me in public?
00:39:33Congratulations!
00:39:34You're officially the most infuriating man
00:39:36I've ever met.
00:39:37Lucky we're not getting married, huh?
00:39:39This isn't over.
00:39:53Help her land a billion dollar deal?
00:39:55And not even a thank you?
00:39:57Please.
00:39:58Serena would never.
00:40:03Five years apart.
00:40:04She must be surprised when he sees me.
00:40:07You sure about this?
00:40:09Africa's far.
00:40:10It's not just a trip.
00:40:11I'm going to change the world, Serena.
00:40:13You always knew that was the dream.
00:40:18One more thing before I go.
00:40:30Serena Lee.
00:40:31Will you marry me?
00:40:34Yes.
00:40:35Yes.
00:40:43Let's get married when I get back.
00:40:48A two million dollar necklace.
00:40:50The perfect gift for her big day.
00:40:52I hope she'll like it.
00:41:02My girl, look at this.
00:41:04An entire party just for you.
00:41:06Throne Tech doesn't do this for just anyone.
00:41:09We've officially made it.
00:41:10It's just the beginning, Mom.
00:41:12You know, my dream is to become someone like Anya Throne.
00:41:14The CEO.
00:41:16But she's a mystery.
00:41:17Never appears in public.
00:41:24Assuming I'll meet her today.
00:41:30After all these years of my funding, Serena's finally made it.
00:41:35A PhD.
00:41:36Partner at Throne Tech.
00:41:38Time to let her know that I'm the CEO of Titan Group.
00:41:42And start our suite life.
00:41:51Is that Arthur?
00:41:53Isn't he begging for life abroad?
00:41:54What the hell is he doing here?
00:42:00Serena.
00:42:01Congratulations.
00:42:03Arthur?
00:42:06I heard about the offer.
00:42:08Thought I'd surprise you.
00:42:09Why are you here?
00:42:10I flew back.
00:42:12For you.
00:42:13Let me guess.
00:42:15You heard about her throne offer.
00:42:17The salary.
00:42:18And you decided to claw your way back?
00:42:21What?
00:42:22Don't act surprised.
00:42:24Five years you vanished.
00:42:26The second she makes partner.
00:42:27You show up with discount flowers and a name that means nothing.
00:42:31You shouldn't have come, Arthur.
00:42:33This whatever we were.
00:42:35It's over.
00:42:36Let's break up.
00:42:37But we spent seven years building towards this.
00:42:40We are supposed to get married.
00:42:42You said you loved me.
00:42:44You thought Serena would love you?
00:42:45Don't be absurd.
00:42:47My daughter has a PhD.
00:42:48She's the youngest partner at Throne Tech.
00:42:50Pulling in 30 million a year.
00:42:52And you?
00:42:52You vanished to Africa and worked there as a builder.
00:42:55Do you really think that makes you worthy of her?
00:42:58My mom is right.
00:43:00We belong to different worlds now.
00:43:02I can't marry someone like you.
00:43:04No.
00:43:05No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:16Someone like me?
00:43:18Look around.
00:43:19This is the party Throne Tech threw for me.
00:43:22These people?
00:43:24Legacy investors.
00:43:26Real powers.
00:43:27And you think I could introduce them to an embarrassment as my fiancé?
00:43:31I'm an embarrassment?
00:43:37So that's what this did to you.
00:43:39One job offer from Throne Tech.
00:43:42And you think you're out of my league.
00:43:45Did you know, Serena?
00:43:48To me, Throne Tech is just a small fish.
00:43:51You arrogant little cockroach.
00:43:53How dare you look down on the top firm in this country?
00:43:56You want to know why Throne Tech gave you that offer?
00:43:58Or because someone vouched for you.
00:44:00Someone they'd never dare ignore.
00:44:03And that someone was me.
00:44:09I'm sorry, what?
00:44:12Confirmed?
00:44:13Are you sure?
00:44:15Madam, you're not going to believe this.
00:44:17The Titan Group just approved a direct investment in us.
00:44:21They what?
00:44:24One hundred billion dollars.
00:44:27What?
00:44:28It's Mr. Storm's move.
00:44:29You know the ghost chairman who runs the Titan Group?
00:44:32It's his first formal return to the States.
00:44:34And we're his first target.
00:44:35We got it.
00:44:36A hundred billion.
00:44:41There.
00:44:42Done.
00:44:43He was right.
00:44:45It's one hundred billion.
00:44:49Parker.
00:44:51Find him.
00:44:52Find who?
00:44:53The man who sit next to me on the Nairobi flight.
00:44:57Arthur.
00:44:58I don't care what it takes.
00:45:00Find him.
00:45:02Understood.
00:45:03But what do you want with him?
00:45:06I'm going to marry him.
00:45:08Wait.
00:45:08What?
00:45:10I've never seen an incredible man like him before.
00:45:13He is the one I want.
00:45:14You self-importance little shit.
00:45:17Who the hell do you think you are?
00:45:18I get it, Arthur.
00:45:19You're not upset about the breakup.
00:45:21You're just pissed off at all the money you poured into me.
00:45:24Just name your number.
00:45:25I'll pay you off.
00:45:26And then we're done.
00:45:27For good.
00:45:29Is that what you think?
00:45:30That I'm here chasing the money I gave you?
00:45:32Let's settle up.
00:45:33How about a hundred grand?
00:45:36Two hundred thousand?
00:45:37Serena.
00:45:38Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:45:39That's more than you've ever seen.
00:45:41Three hundred thousand dollars.
00:45:42That's more than you've ever seen.
00:45:44You still think I came here for money?
00:45:46Take it and get out of here.
00:45:47My daughter should have dumped you ages ago.
00:45:50You've got no house, no car, no savings.
00:45:52You can't even get a decent job.
00:45:54You're a lost cause.
00:45:55Is that what you think of me?
00:45:57For the sake of our seven years together, don't embarrass yourself even more.
00:46:00Just take the money and leave.
00:46:02My daughter's done with you.
00:46:03Can't you get that through your thick head?
00:46:07He's not worth your time.
00:46:11Oh, where's Victor?
00:46:13Didn't he say he was coming tonight?
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:16Said he had something to handle first.
00:46:18Should be here soon.
00:46:19Victor?
00:46:20Victor.
00:46:21Son of James West.
00:46:23Vice Chair of Throne Tech.
00:46:26Practically next in line after Anya Throne.
00:46:30Only someone like him is a match for my daughter.
00:46:33Rich.
00:46:34Charming.
00:46:35Well-educated.
00:46:37And you?
00:46:38You're a penniless dropout.
00:46:39You're just a misstep she should have never taken.
00:46:42Arthur.
00:46:43Victor's on his way.
00:46:44You should leave.
00:46:47Trust me.
00:46:48You don't want to be here when he walks in.
00:46:51Because the moment you see him, you'll be ashamed of yourself.
00:46:55Now I see it.
00:46:57You didn't just break up with me because of the job.
00:47:00It was because of him.
00:47:02Victor.
00:47:03At least with him, I can build something bigger.
00:47:05Really?
00:47:07And you're so sure I couldn't help you build something better than anything he could?
00:47:10You?
00:47:12Please.
00:47:14So, you actually think you're better than me?
00:47:29Victor!
00:47:30My love, you're here!
00:47:32Let me guess.
00:47:34You're Arthur?
00:47:35Serena's ex-boyfriend?
00:47:37You look exactly how I pictured.
00:47:39Cheap suit.
00:47:40Basic face.
00:47:42Still clinging to the woman who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:47:46Oh, don't mind him.
00:47:48He never deserved to be with Serena.
00:47:50Just a pathetic shadow tagging along.
00:47:53So, you seriously thought you could compete with me?
00:47:57I'm Victor West, son of James West, vice chair of Throne Tech.
00:48:02And you?
00:48:03You're not even worth the dirt under my shoes.
00:48:05You're right.
00:48:06Because unlike you, I don't need to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:48:10Excuse me?
00:48:11A piece of trash like you dares to talk back?
00:48:14Get out.
00:48:15Now.
00:48:16Before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:48:19Exactly.
00:48:20This is a ceremony for elites.
00:48:23Not beggars.
00:48:26What the hell is going on here?
00:48:28Victor, is everything alright?
00:48:30Why don't you ask him?
00:48:32He got dumped by Serena, and now he's crashing her party.
00:48:36Dr. Lee is our new partner.
00:48:38Handpicked by Miss Throne herself.
00:48:40Whatever this is, you're way out of line.
00:48:42Exactly.
00:48:43Look around.
00:48:45These aren't just normal guests, Mr. Cooper.
00:48:48This is Throne Tech's A-team.
00:48:50Top executives, professionals, the people who run this city.
00:48:54And then there's him.
00:48:55Some college dropout who thinks moving bricks and nannying kids in Africa is a career.
00:49:01I was running a charity.
00:49:03Oh?
00:49:04So that's what we're calling unemployment now?
00:49:07Charity?
00:49:07Boy, just say you were broke and too proud to get a real job.
00:49:11We all know why he's here.
00:49:13Groveling to my daughter, hoping she will drag him out of the gutter.
00:49:16So he wants to be a kept man and fails.
00:49:18Pathetic.
00:49:19An all-time loser dumped by his genius girlfriend.
00:49:23He should have seen that coming.
00:49:25You hear that?
00:49:26This is reality.
00:49:28My daughter?
00:49:29A PhD.
00:49:30A future partner.
00:49:31A successful, stunning woman.
00:49:33You?
00:49:33Just the mud on her heels.
00:49:45Now crawl back to the shack you came from.
00:49:48Your fairy tale is over!
00:49:51Arthur, a man can be broke or uneducated.
00:49:54But delusional?
00:49:54That's where I draw the line.
00:49:56No matter what you tell yourself,
00:49:58I would never marry you.
00:50:01Funny.
00:50:01You want to know my biggest mistake, Serena?
00:50:04Believing in you.
00:50:05Seven years of unconditional support.
00:50:07Wiring money whenever you need to pay rent or tuition.
00:50:10I made you.
00:50:11And this is how you repay me?
00:50:12Don't twist it!
00:50:13I didn't force you to do any of this!
00:50:15I don't need to twist.
00:50:16Anything.
00:50:17I bank-raid your PhD.
00:50:20Helped land your offer at ThroneTech.
00:50:22And you dropped me the second you made it upstairs.
00:50:26Don't credit yourself for my achievement.
00:50:28I earned all these by myself.
00:50:30I'm smart.
00:50:31I worked hard.
00:50:32I could have made it with or without you.
00:50:35No.
00:50:36You won't.
00:50:37You'll never know what you've lost.
00:50:39I bought this for you.
00:50:46But you don't deserve it.
00:50:50We're done.
00:50:53Oh, please.
00:50:54You think a fake diamond necklace could buy my daughter's heart?
00:50:58How much did you spend on this trash?
00:50:59$20?
00:51:00$50?
00:51:02Babe.
00:51:03Tell him how much the necklace I bought you is worth.
00:51:07$70,000.
00:51:08My gift for you was auctioned for $2 million.
00:51:11But you throw it away for him and his second-rate jewels.
00:51:14I'm so tired of your bullshit!
00:51:17You need a wake-up call!
00:51:26He's lost it!
00:51:28He attacked my boyfriend!
00:51:29Security!
00:51:30Get him out!
00:51:31That's enough, young man.
00:51:33Dr. Lee's an asset to Throne Tech, and this is her party.
00:51:36She says you're out.
00:51:37You're out!
00:51:39Now get lost!
00:51:43We found Arthur, madam.
00:51:46Where?
00:51:47He's inside Throne HQ, at Dr. Lee's welcome party.
00:51:50Sounds like things are getting ugly.
00:51:53Dr. Lee?
00:51:56Quick, head to the company now.
00:51:58Yes, madam.
00:52:01What are you waiting for, sucker?
00:52:02Doors that way.
00:52:03Just leave, Arthur, before this gets worse for you.
00:52:05Worse?
00:52:07How?
00:52:09Because I dared to stand where I don't belong?
00:52:11You want to be a laughingstock?
00:52:13Fine.
00:52:14But don't expect me to save you when this all blows up in your face.
00:52:17Save me?
00:52:18That's rich.
00:52:19You don't have that power.
00:52:20You never did.
00:52:21You mess with me, you mess with the Throne family.
00:52:24Pisans like you can't afford the price.
00:52:26Final warning.
00:52:27Walk out on your own, or I'll have security drag you out.
00:52:30Go ahead.
00:52:31Call your guards.
00:52:32But let's be clear.
00:52:33I walked into this building because I have every right to be here.
00:52:36And none of you has the power to push me out.
00:52:38Not even Anya Throne herself.
00:52:42Faster.
00:52:43I don't care what it takes.
00:52:44Get me to him, now!
00:52:46Yes, madam.
00:52:49Do you have any idea what the name Anya Throne means?
00:52:52Wow.
00:52:53You're even dumber than I thought.
00:52:55You just insulted the woman who built this empire.
00:52:58Even my father wouldn't dare challenge her.
00:53:00But you?
00:53:01You're so done.
00:53:02So, in your world, Anya Throne might be an untouchable goddess.
00:53:07But in mine?
00:53:08She's just a woman with some talent.
00:53:10I'd be more worried if I were you.
00:53:12Because you tried to put a hand on me, she might have a bigger problem with you.
00:53:15You must have a death wish.
00:53:17Arthur, I get that the breakup hurt.
00:53:19But now, you're spiraling.
00:53:21Disrespecting Lady Throne like that?
00:53:23I was actually gonna get you a janitor job here.
00:53:25But after this, you're not even worth that.
00:53:28You were gonna recommend me for a janitor position?
00:53:31Do you know how competitive it is just to work here?
00:53:35You should be grateful.
00:53:37Even our security guards have degrees.
00:53:39And you didn't even finish years.
00:53:41I don't need a degree to prove myself.
00:53:43My achievement speaks for itself.
00:53:45That's how real business works.
00:53:47Clearly, it's beyond your imagination.
00:53:49You're talking nonsense again.
00:53:51After everything happens today, there's no place for you in Throne Tech.
00:53:54You blew your only chance to fix your sore life.
00:53:56I never needed your recommendation.
00:53:59And as for whether Throne Tech has a place for me...
00:54:03Why don't you go ask Anya Thorn yourself?
00:54:17Where is Arthur?
00:54:18Conference hall. It's tense.
00:54:19From what I heard, he and Serena Lee were involved.
00:54:23She dumped him.
00:54:24They broke up?
00:54:27Well, that saves me the trouble of stealing someone's fiancé.
00:54:32What's your goal here, Arthur?
00:54:34Seriously?
00:54:35Trying to crash and burn in public?
00:54:38I'll tell you what it is.
00:54:39He couldn't have you.
00:54:40So now he wants to drag you down with him.
00:54:43Ugh.
00:54:44Pathetic ex-revenge.
00:54:46Such a petty man.
00:54:48Don't worry, Serena.
00:54:49I've got you.
00:54:50Victor's father is the vice chair.
00:54:52With their support, whatever stunt he's pulling ends.
00:54:56Trust me.
00:54:57Once Lady Throne shows up, he's got maybe five minutes left.
00:55:01I can't believe how dumb you are, Arthur.
00:55:04No wonder you achieved nothing in our seven years together.
00:55:07I wasted so much time on you.
00:55:10Honestly, leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:55:14Was it?
00:55:15Because when the truth comes out, you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:55:28Lady Throne just arrived?
00:55:30Lady Throne.
00:55:31She came straight from the airport.
00:55:33She's in the lobby now.
00:55:34Wait.
00:55:35She actually came?
00:55:37Oh my god!
00:55:38She came to support Serena!
00:55:41You hear that?
00:55:42Anya Throne is here for my daughter!
00:55:45My daughter is the future of Throne Tech!
00:55:48This is it.
00:55:49We need to take out this human trash before Lady Throne arrives.
00:55:54He's literally making the room smell cheap.
00:55:56Hear that, dumbass?
00:55:58Throne Tech doesn't take in strays.
00:56:02Get out while you still have legs to walk on.
00:56:09Here's your last chance.
00:56:11Half a million dollars.
00:56:13Half a million?
00:56:14You're flattering him!
00:56:16It's worth it to keep him from ruining my night.
00:56:19Take the money, Arthur.
00:56:20Disappear.
00:56:22That's more than you'll see in ten lifetimes.
00:56:25Be smart.
00:56:26Take it.
00:56:27And vanish.
00:56:29You talk a lot about power, Serena.
00:56:37But when you learn who I am...
00:56:51You'll be begging me for mercy.
00:56:53What the hell?
00:56:55You ungrateful bastard!
00:56:57You dare humiliate me?
00:56:58You really think you're someone now?
00:57:01Someone's gonna change everything?
00:57:07Then, make your little announcement.
00:57:10But if it's bullshit,
00:57:12you'll be crawling out of here,
00:57:14kissing every shoe in this room.
00:57:16Oh, come on.
00:57:17This low-status nobody doesn't even deserve
00:57:19to kiss anyone's shoes here.
00:57:31He's my husband.
00:57:35Is that status high enough for you?
00:57:41Who said I came alone?
00:57:45Wow.
00:57:46You really went all out on this.
00:57:47You even chartered the whole plane.
00:57:48So, die.
00:57:54I'm the Warden.
00:57:55I do as I please.
00:57:58That face.
00:58:00It's almost a shame to defeat you.
00:58:05No.
00:58:15Bang.
00:58:20Master never gets bored of these little escape games, does he?
00:58:24Poison in the wine?
