00:00:03When you get to the Ashford family, keep your mouth shut and behave.
00:00:07Don't embarrass the Sterling family.
00:00:09Understand?
00:00:11I'm the Sterling family's secret second daughter.
00:00:14Everyone thinks I'm severely autistic, dull, and stupid.
00:00:18You hurt?
00:00:19But I'm not stupid at all.
00:00:21I'm hiding a secret no one can ever know.
00:00:24I can understand every animal in this world.
00:00:32Are you really thinking that marrying into a top family means you'll have a good life?
00:00:36Dorian is just a cripple with useless legs.
00:00:38He's the Ashford family's cast-off.
00:00:48Good thing you're the idiot going to that marriage for me.
00:00:51Otherwise, I'd be the one getting tortured tonight.
00:00:53Enough!
00:00:55The Ashford car is here.
00:00:57Get her in there.
00:00:57Don't waste time.
00:01:03Sterling Capital's cash flow is about to collapse.
00:01:07I can only send this idiot off for marriage and get funding in return.
00:01:10Sacrifice her to save the Sterling family.
00:01:25You finally got rid of that burden.
00:01:28Now the Sterling family can get through this.
00:01:30Keep quiet for now.
00:01:32We'll talk after the Ashford money comes through.
00:01:34They all think I'm dumb.
00:01:35They think I'm easy to bully.
00:01:37But this forced marriage isn't the end for me.
00:01:39It's the beginning of my escape from the Sterling family.
00:01:48This second daughter of the Sterling family really looks like a soulless doll.
00:01:52She hasn't moved the whole way.
00:01:53The Sterling family must be desperate, sending over this severely autistic fool.
00:01:57I'm much clearer than any of them.
00:01:59I just have a secret I can't tell anyone.
00:02:01I can understand the language of every animal in this world.
00:02:10Mrs. Sterling, this is Mr. Ashford's room.
00:02:12Go in.
00:02:13Go in.
00:02:15Go in.
00:02:22Go in.
00:02:25Go in.
00:02:26Go in.
00:02:26Go in.
00:02:28Go in.
00:02:30Go in.
00:02:31Go in.
00:02:32Stay in the corner.
00:02:33Don't move.
00:02:34If you make a peep, I'll toss you out to the Jackals.
00:02:41Mr. Ashford.
00:02:43Mrs. Beatrice Ashford asked the kitchen to prepare this for you.
00:02:46Please drink it while it's hot
00:02:48Put it down
00:02:55Don't! Don't! Don't drink it!
00:02:57That bad woman just poured white powder into the bowl
00:02:59It's bitter! So bitter! It's a poison!
00:03:01You're gonna die!
00:03:02The Ashford Branch family dared to poison him on his wedding night
00:03:05I have to save him
00:03:21You've got a death wish
00:03:27Mr. Ashford
00:03:29Grab the maid who brought the drink and dislocate her jaw
00:03:31Keep her alive
00:03:32Take her to the basement for interrogation
00:03:34Yes, sir
00:03:42Why did you rush over?
00:03:46Bitter
00:03:47The medicine bitter
00:03:48If you drank it, it would hurt
00:03:53You're not stupid
00:03:58The Sterling family treats you like a disposable pawn in this marriage
00:04:01The Branch people actually dared to reach you as a skate manor
00:04:03But you blocked that cup of poison for Dorian
00:04:04Whether you're truly foolish or just pretending
00:04:06You protected him and that means you protected the Ashford family
00:04:11Pass on my order
00:04:12From tonight on, Elena is the rightful lady of this manor
00:04:14Get her the best medical team
00:04:15Everything she eats, wears and uses has to be the top quality
00:04:17If anyone dares to neglect her because of the rumors outside
00:04:19Break their legs and toss them out of the Ashford family
00:04:42Mr. Ashford, Titan's PDAD isn't fully flare out
00:04:45He's in an extreme manic state right now
00:04:47He doesn't recognize anyone
00:04:48For the safety of the manor, we suggest immediate forced euthanation
00:04:54Whoever dares to touch him, I'll take their life
00:04:56I heard from the servants that Titan is the last bond Doran's parents left him
00:05:01He's Doran's only companion in endless darkness, this world
00:05:05Raise the catch poles
00:05:06Power them up
00:05:12Stop
00:05:13Elena, come back
00:05:15It hurts, it hurts so much
00:05:17I don't want to bite anyone
00:05:18I don't want to go crazy
00:05:19But there's something in my right hind leg
00:05:21Cutting to my bone over and over
00:05:22Someone help
00:05:23The pain is killing me
00:05:30She's insane
00:05:31She's such a fool
00:05:33That dog will tear her throat in
00:05:35It's okay
00:05:36It's okay
00:05:42Pat, I'll find the bad thing
00:05:48How is this possible?
00:05:50Even Mr. Ashford can't get close to him
00:05:54Here, something
00:05:55Nonsense, Titan had a full checkup
00:05:57The x-ray didn't show anything
00:05:59Cut
00:06:01Elena
00:06:02Take out
00:06:04It hurts him
00:06:09Mr. Ashford, this is absurd
00:06:11That's the dog's knee nerve
00:06:12A careless cut could permanently damage that leg
00:06:17Do as she says
00:06:18Cut it open
00:06:19Now
00:06:21Mr. Ashford
00:06:22That's an order
00:06:23Alright
00:06:29My god
00:06:30It's really there
00:06:31Right where Miss Sterling pointed
00:06:32A metal shard
00:06:33About the size of a grain of rice
00:06:35It's stuck right in the nerve
00:06:48Good boy
00:06:49Such a good boy
00:06:51People outside say the Sterling family sent us a fool
00:06:53But I think you're smarter than anyone
00:06:57It's the bracelet passed down to the lady of the Ashford family
00:06:59From today on
00:07:01Elena is our lucky star
00:07:02Anyone who dares to touch her is going against the entire Ashford family
00:07:11What?
00:07:12Preston, are you sure you saw it right?
00:07:14That little idiot not only survived, she also cured Dorian's mad dog
00:07:17I clearly saw the bodyguards take the shard out
00:07:19Mrs. Beatrice Ashford was thrilled
00:07:21She even gave her the emerald bracelet
00:07:22The one passed down to the lady of the Ashford family
00:07:24What?
00:07:25Mrs. Beatrice Ashford gave her the bracelet in front of everyone?
00:07:28You'd better think about tomorrow night's banquet
00:07:30Right now, the whole manor is treating her like a lucky star
00:07:38Impossible
00:07:39An idiot who can't even talk, right?
00:07:40How dare she get to stand up high society?
00:07:42I'd like to see how you make a complete fool of yourself in front of everyone
00:07:53Mr. Ashford, Mr. Hawthorne will be here tonight too
00:07:56If you can secure that Montech beachfront land
00:07:58Your seat back on the board will be guaranteed
00:07:59I have to get that land
00:08:01Let's go
00:08:09Isn't that the Ashford's disabled eldest son?
00:08:11Why did he bring that little sterling idiot too?
00:08:13A Crippen and an idiot
00:08:14Pretty fitting actually
00:08:14Is this all the Ashford main branch has left?
00:08:16They're really counting on an idiot to save face?
00:08:22Well look who it is
00:08:23Dorian, this is a top circle gathering today
00:08:25You actually brought this little idiot who can barely speak?
00:08:27That's right, Mr. Ashford
00:08:28Elena isn't right in the head
00:08:30It's bad enough when she makes a fool of herself at home
00:08:32But at a high-end event like this
00:08:33Don't let her offend any important guests
00:08:35And embarrass both the Ashford's and the Stalers
00:08:40A Cripple and an idiot
00:08:42Perfect match
00:08:45Exactly
00:08:45With his legs ruined, of course you could only marry an idiot
00:08:48The main line is over
00:08:50Lower your voice
00:08:50No matter what, he's still the young master of the Ashford family
00:09:09Even if she is stupid, at least she knows not to bark everywhere
00:09:13Dorian, what did you say?
00:09:14Unlike you
00:09:16Shouting your mouth off like you're afraid the whole room won't hear you
00:09:21Preston
00:09:22Don't start a fight with him yet
00:09:30Mr. Hawthorne
00:09:30Midnight's vitals are all normal
00:09:32You can't find the cause
00:09:35You stupid idiot
00:09:36I spend so much money on you every year and this is what I get
00:09:37Midnight hasn't eaten for three days
00:09:39He won't even drink water
00:09:39And now you're telling me you can't find the cause?
00:09:41Mr. Hawthorne, this is truly a real medical mystery
00:09:43We've consulted the country's top specialists
00:09:45Midnight's signs are normal within normal ranges
00:09:46We really did everything we could
00:09:49Everyone, whoever can kill my Midnight today
00:09:50I'll transfer that $10 billion Monte plot to them for free
00:09:52Right away
00:09:53A $10 billion plot?
00:09:54But even top vets can't help that horse
00:09:56How would we know how to treat it?
00:09:58Chloe, that's a $10 billion plot
00:10:00If we can get it, the Ashford-Hennerging succession will be us
00:10:14I feel so bad
00:10:16Why does no one understand me?
00:10:20Go
00:10:20Go look
00:10:24Follow her
00:10:28Look, someone's playing a vet now
00:10:30Dorian, you can't seriously believe that idiot you married can cure this precious racehorse, right?
00:10:34Exactly
00:10:34If this idiot can cure Midnight, I'll eat all the hay on the floor today
00:10:37A fool trying to get a $10 billion plot
00:10:38That's a joke
00:10:49Aren't you supposed to be top vets?
00:10:50Why is he still crying?
00:10:51What is going on?
00:10:52Mr. Hawthorne, we really can't find anything
00:10:54We've used every medicine we can use
00:10:55My hay tastes terrible now
00:10:57That bad cleaner chased away my little camo cat
00:10:58She's my only companion
00:10:59My best friend since I was little
00:11:01If they don't bring her back, I won't eat
00:11:02I'd rather die than touch their food
00:11:15Cat
00:11:17What?
00:11:18Need
00:11:19Little calco cat
00:11:21This is so funny
00:11:23Dorian, look at this
00:11:24You really brought an idiot who can barely speak to treat a racehorse?
00:11:26She's saying this horse is sick because it needs a stray cat?
00:11:29Dorian, the bride of the Sterling family dumped on you?
00:11:31Her head's definitely not right
00:11:32Absurd, I've been a vet for 30 years and I've an $80 million throwing racehorse starving itself over some dirty
00:11:36stray cat
00:11:36Mr. Hawthorne, don't listen to this one, it's nonsense
00:11:40Find the cat
00:11:41It's hungry
00:11:46Dorian, you're not really going to side with this idiot, are you?
00:11:49If word gets out, your main mind will lose all its dignity
00:12:02Find it
00:12:03Search the whole club
00:12:04Bring that cat here
00:12:06Dorian, are you crazy?
00:12:07You're using Ashford bodyguards just to play along with this idiot?
00:12:10Mr. Hawthorne is still waiting for someone to save his horse
00:12:12Fine, go find it
00:12:14I'd love to see how you're going to explain it if the horse still won't eat after you find that
00:12:17cat
00:12:22Mr. Dorian Ashford, we found it
00:12:23We found it in the waste pile
00:12:41Smelly
00:12:41Peanut,quality,
00:12:41Side of the Drone
00:12:41Sat
00:12:41The End
00:12:55しまし
00:12:57Where's the contract?
00:12:58Bring me the transfer agreement for the Montauk land.
00:13:01Now!
00:13:05Mr. Ashford, a bet is a bet.
00:13:07This $10 billion land is yours from now on.
00:13:09From now on, if anyone in the Ashford family looks down on you or your wife, they'll deal with me
00:13:12first.
00:13:12With this land, Dorian's return to the core board of Ashford Holdings is basically a sure thing.
00:13:18Wasn't someone just saying he'd eat the hay on the ground?
00:13:20What a fool.
00:13:24How did this happen?
00:13:26How is this idiot so lucky?
00:13:42Dad, Dorian got the Montauk land.
00:13:44More and more people on the board are supporting him now.
00:13:45What should we do?
00:13:48So what if his reputation is rising?
00:13:50Tonight's charity auction is the dead end I prepared for him.
00:13:54What do you mean, Dad?
00:13:55I'm going to make Dorian lose all his dignity in front of the whole city's elite.
00:14:07Mr. Ashford, Damien specifically asked you to come this time.
00:14:10The Branch family has been bidding up those antiques downstairs.
00:14:13It looks like they're up to something.
00:14:14Let him try.
00:14:16Boring.
00:14:18Boring.
00:14:24What is that?
00:14:25This kind of trash can be in the Ashford charity auction?
00:14:27Is Damien joking?
00:14:30This next item was specially donated by Mr. Damien.
00:14:33It is a personal item left by the late Mrs. Ashford.
00:14:40Mr. Ashford, Damien has gone too far this time.
00:14:44Everyone knows that was what your mother left behind after she died in the car accident.
00:14:47And he actually put it up for auction?
00:14:49He's humiliating you in public.
00:15:05This meat is pretty good.
00:15:07But that old piece of wood on the stage downstairs looks kind of familiar, meow.
00:15:23There used to be a beautiful woman in the old mansion who cried a lot.
00:15:28She held that old box every day.
00:15:30Late one night, she slipped a red-sealed document to the bottom of the box,
00:15:33nailed it shut, and sobbed that no one could ever know about it.
00:15:36I was up on the roof.
00:15:37I saw the whole thing.
00:15:47Buy it.
00:15:49Elena, that's bait from the Branch family to humiliate the mainline.
00:15:53Underneath, there's paper.
00:15:55Buy.
00:15:57Acceptancey, court to charge again.
00:15:59Horsher, irritants.
00:16:02Bid.
00:16:03No limit.
00:16:05Yes, Mr. Ashford.
00:16:06The antique cedar jewelry box left by the late Mrs. Ashford.
00:16:10Opening bid, $100,000.
00:16:13I bid $1 million.
00:16:14Dorian, since it belonged to my late sister-in-law, let me show some respect first.
00:16:17$10 million.
00:16:19Oh my God, he raised it 10 times right away.
00:16:21Dorian is going head-to-head with them.
00:16:24Keep raising the price.
00:16:25If he dares to follow, we'll make him cough up every cent he made from that $10 billion land deal.
00:16:29$30 million.
00:16:30$50 million.
00:16:32$100 million.
00:16:33$200 million.
00:16:34They're insane.
00:16:35All of them.
00:16:35It's just an old cedar box and it's already up to $1 billion.
00:16:38Dorian has really lost his mind this time.
00:16:39The Branch family's leading him by the NESC.
00:16:41Dad, it's already at $1.4 billion.
00:16:43That loser Dorian has completely lost it.
00:16:44He's the biggest sucker tonight.
00:16:45That's enough.
00:16:46Let him have it.
00:16:47$15 billion for a piece of old wood.
00:16:48I'd like to see how much cash he has left after this.
00:16:50$15 billion.
00:16:51$15 billion and $10 million.
00:16:53$15 billion and $10 million going once.
00:16:55$15 billion and $10 million going twice.
00:16:57$15 billion and $10 million.
00:16:59Sold.
00:17:00Congratulations, young master.
00:17:09Well done.
00:17:10Such a good son.
00:17:12Dorian, spending $15 billion on an old thing your mother used?
00:17:15Not a loss at all.
00:17:16Not at all.
00:17:17That's right, Dorian.
00:17:18$15 billion.
00:17:19On behalf of all those charity fund and affituaries,
00:17:22the Branch family thanks you for your generous donation.
00:17:24But Dorian, you'd better keep this broken box safe.
00:17:27Don't be like your short-lived parents.
00:17:29Too weak to even hold on to what was theirs.
00:17:39She's crazy.
00:17:41This idiot has completely lost her mind.
00:17:43She just smashed something worth $15 billion?
00:18:02What kind of trick is this?
00:18:04What papers could be hidden inside this broken box?
00:18:07Dorian, this idiot you married is truly insane.
00:18:14Oh my god.
00:18:16This is the share transfer agreement personally signed by Mr. Damon Ashford.
00:18:19Ashford Holdings.
00:18:2030% of Ashford Holdings voting shares all unconditionally belongs to Dorian Ash...
00:18:24Dad, how...
00:18:26How is this hidden inside Dorian's mother's old box?
00:18:28I went through all that trouble.
00:18:30I didn't even care about the bad press when I put my dead sister-in-law's item for auction
00:18:32all to humiliate the main branch.
00:18:34But I never thought this box would be hiding the thing that decides who controls Ashford Holdings.
00:18:38I personally spent $1.5 billion to send that life or death 30% of voting shares back into Dorian's
00:18:42hands.
00:18:48Uncle Damien, I'm sorry.
00:18:50Thank you for such a generous gift.
00:18:54Dorian, don't get too full of yourself.
00:18:56These shares, you don't even know if this document is real.
00:19:00Tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon, shareholders meeting.
00:19:02You can hand over the chairman's seat.
00:19:04Still sign it!
00:19:23No, Sterling, bad news.
00:19:25The Ashford branch family has completely collapsed.
00:19:27Ashford Holdings thinks that they're ending all cooperation with us.
00:19:29The banks are flooding us with collection...
00:19:30How did this happen?
00:19:31Didn't Damon say he could get rid of Dorian?
00:19:43You jinx.
00:19:45Marrying you is the worst thing that ever happened to me.
00:19:47Your Sterling family can't even pay the rest of the money!
00:19:50Now the branch family has collapsed.
00:19:52And it's all because of you Sterlings!
00:19:54How is this my fault?
00:19:56You're the useless one.
00:19:58You couldn't even beat a cripple and an idiot.
00:20:01You still dare to talk back?
00:20:03If that idiot from your family hadn't seduced my cousin when we had lost those shares,
00:20:06tomorrow you're gonna find that idiot.
00:20:07If you can't get the money, I'll kill you!
00:20:34I'll kill you!
00:20:35you. You're the real lady of the Ashford family now. You can't just turn your back on the Sterling
00:20:40family. Elena, after all, I'm still your real father. The Sterling family is about to go
00:20:47bankrupt. Loan sticks are showing up at our door every day. Can you find a way to get Dorian to
00:20:51transfer some funds for us? Just enough to get the Sterling family through this. Elena, I was wrong
00:20:56before, but we're family. Now that you're the one in charge of the Ashford family, you can't just
00:20:59stand by and watch us die, right? It smells so good, Meow. You're so nice. Ignore these
00:21:06two noisy jerks, Meow. Elena, you bitch. Don't act like you're above everyone else. Shut up, you
00:21:18little brat. Don't ruin this. If we alert the guards, we'll both get thrown out tonight.
00:21:30Forget it. Elena doesn't even recognize her father anymore. No point saying more. Chloe,
00:21:37let's go. Don't disturb your sister. Mr. Ashford, something's wrong. The Fabry Imperial
00:21:57egg in the second floor study safe, it's missing. Oh my God, what happened? It sounds like some
00:22:00birthday gift went missing. What? Tonight is Mrs. Beatrice Ashford's 80th birthday gala. Who would
00:22:05have the nerve to steal from the Ashford's own manor? Dorian, the loyal egg for Mrs. Beatrice
00:22:11Ashford. Imperial egg worth $100 million is missing. This is serious. Shouldn't we call the police
00:22:17right away and search everyone in the manor? After all, the ones you really need to watch
00:22:21out for are the people closest to you. Is Christy implying that Mrs. Ashford has sticky fingers?
00:22:25That Elena is an idiot anyway. She probably liked that shiny green egg and took it to play with.
00:22:34I'm full meow. I saw a skinny old guy upstairs just now, the one came to talk to you. He
00:22:38wrapped
00:22:38the green egg in shiny silver foil, then secretly stuffed it into the spare tire gap of that big
00:22:42black car outside now. Green egg. You idiot, what are you pointing at? Behind it, big circle,
00:22:51that Sterling family old man's car.
00:23:00Hurry up. Stop messing around. If the Ashford security catches us, none of us is leaving tonight.
00:23:06Dad, I can't feel my legs. That's $100 million. Can we really take it out?
00:23:11We have to. Once we get this loyal egg past that iron gate and sell it on the black market,
00:23:14the Sterling family will make a complete comeback. Come on, the car's right ahead.
00:23:33What's going on? Open the gate! Open it now!
00:23:37Let us go!
00:24:06Let us go!
00:24:11Mr. Dorian Ashford, what are you doing?
00:24:15We're just not feeling well and wanted to go home early, that's all.
00:24:25There's a green egg in the car.
00:24:28You idiot, what the hell are you saying?
00:24:30You team up with outsiders to frame your own father.
00:24:32I'm your real dad, you ungrateful little wretch.
00:24:35Try open the trunk lock.
00:24:36No, what right does the Ashford family have to search my car?
00:24:39This is private property.
00:24:54Mr. Ashford, we found it.
00:24:55It's the loyal egg for Mrs. Beatrice Ashford.
00:24:57My God, so the thief really was that old Sterling guy.
00:25:00The chairman of Sterling Capital, stealing from his son-in-law's home?
00:25:03How shameless.
00:25:07The in-laws of the Ashford branch family are so broke, even came to steal at Mrs. Beatrice Ashford's birthday
00:25:12gala.
00:25:12The wife the branch family married in has really brought them honor.
00:25:16Bitch!
00:25:17Your whole family are thieves.
00:25:18You've completely disgraced our branch family.
00:25:20We're getting divorced tomorrow.
00:25:22No, Preston.
00:25:23I didn't mean to.
00:25:25My dad forced me.
00:25:26Elena.
00:25:28Elena.
00:25:29Dad just made a mistake for a moment.
00:25:31The company is really finished.
00:25:33You've always listened to dad since you were lied, right?
00:25:35Say something for me.
00:25:37Help me.
00:25:38Hurry.
00:25:39Go beg Mr. Dorian for me.
00:25:41Tell him you gave me the egg to play with.
00:25:43Please, beg him to spare me this once.
00:25:45Are you really going to watch your own father go to prison?
00:25:56You think you can hide from me forever?
00:26:03It's too loud.
00:26:04I don't like it.
00:26:13Elena.
00:26:15Don't be afraid.
00:26:17Look at me.
00:26:19Listen carefully.
00:26:20No one in this world can ever lock you up again.
00:26:22This is the Ashford family.
00:26:24You are my lawful and acknowledged wife, Dorian Ashford's wife.
00:26:27Today, say whatever you want.
00:26:29No matter what happens, I've got your back.
00:26:31No one can touch you.
00:26:47No.
00:26:55I won't beg.
00:26:57Elena.
00:26:59You ungrateful.
00:27:00You sold me.
00:27:02The Sterling family is dead to me.
00:27:06I am not your daughter anymore.
00:27:11Never again.
00:27:22Did you hear what my wife said?
00:27:24Mr. Sterling, starting now, Ashford Holdings will terminate all funding and partnerships
00:27:27with the Sterling family.
00:27:28Also, the banks have already froze all assets under the Sterling family's name.
00:27:31The file I just threw in your face is the transfer agreement for all remaining Sterling
00:27:34assets to cover the $100 million loyal egg you stole tonight.
00:27:36No, this can't be.
00:27:38You're trying to completely destroy the Sterling family.
00:27:40Sign it, or I'll send you straight to the state police.
00:27:42You'll be charged with stealing $300 million, and you can rot in prison.
00:27:45Woof!
00:27:54Take him away.
00:28:05Oh, my God.
00:28:38Mr. Ashford, be careful.
00:29:11Mr. Ashford, you've fallen ten times today, maybe we should stop here.
00:29:22Mr. Ashford, hold on.
00:29:25I'm here.
00:29:26I'm your most loyal partner.
00:29:28You'll stand up.
00:29:37He's standing.
00:29:38He's really standing.
00:29:47Since Dorian Ashford, the eldest grandson of the Ashford family, reclaimed his position,
00:29:51the main branch's influence has surged, and the branch family has been entirely purged.
00:29:55This is Beatrice Ashford.
00:29:57Damien is making a move.
00:29:58His club in upstate New York, which has spent a fortune building, officially opens today.
00:30:03Damien is now completely cornered.
00:30:04This time, he sent invitations everywhere and invited almost the whole city's elite.
00:30:08Looks like he wants to use the opening dinner to pull in capital and make one last move.
00:30:13One last move?
00:30:14Looks like he finally learned something.
00:30:16Grandmother, he's betting his life with his last bit of money.
00:30:18Then we go.
00:30:19Why wouldn't we?
00:30:19I want to see for myself what that fool still dares to do right under my eyes.
00:30:23Since he invited us so warmly, we'll go.
00:30:25And we'll send him off for good.
00:30:34Mr. Ashford, this club is built on dangerous ground.
00:30:37Tonight's rain is unusually heavy, and the weather apartment keeps warning about landslides.
00:30:40Damien built it on the edge of a cliff just to show off and overlook the whole city.
00:30:43He isn't even afraid it'll crush him.
00:31:07Damien really went all out this time.
00:31:09I heard he poured billions into this club.
00:31:12A fallen giant still casts shadow than a dwarf.
00:31:14If he can really bring in a few big financial groups tonight, maybe he can take another shot at the
00:31:18main branch.
00:31:25Everyone, this club was built with the world's top seismic structure.
00:31:29Thank you all for coming tonight.
00:31:32A dying struggle.
00:31:34If we work together in the future, there will be plenty of benefits for everyone.
00:31:42Stuffy?
00:31:50It's collapsing!
00:31:52The mud is completely gone!
00:31:54Run!
00:31:54The rocks are cracking!
00:31:56Water is pouring in!
00:31:57Run!
00:31:58Now!
00:32:04Water!
00:32:05It's all water!
00:32:06The dirt underground has been washed out!
00:32:07The rocks are splitting!
00:32:08The mountain is coming down!
00:32:09Everyone up there will die!
00:32:11They'll all die!
00:32:19The ground is moving!
00:32:21The mountain is going to collapse!
00:32:22Fly!
00:32:23You!
00:32:25Animals can always sense geological disasters and mountain shifts before those cold machines
00:32:29do.
00:32:35Elena?
00:32:37What's wrong?
00:32:37What happened?
00:32:45The mountain!
00:32:47The mountain!
00:32:48The mountain is collapsing!
00:32:49Water!
00:32:50Mud!
00:32:51Death!
00:32:51Go!
00:32:52Leave now!
00:32:53What is Mrs. Ashburn talking about?
00:32:55Mountain is collapsing?
00:32:56What a lunatic!
00:32:58Today is Mr. Damien's big day and she's cursing everyone to die in front of everyone.
00:33:02Elena?
00:33:04Is your madness acting up again?
00:33:06I don't care what you do at the Ashford home, but tell me what you do.
00:33:08Today is the grand opening of my Ridge Club.
00:33:10Exactly.
00:33:11If your brain is broken, go home and take your meds.
00:33:13Why come out here and embarrass yourself?
00:33:14I spent billions on this club and hired the world's top engineering team.
00:33:18It's built against the mountain and by the cliff.
00:33:20It's solid.
00:33:20Dorian, even if you can't stand our branch, don't let your crazy wife ruin my night in
00:33:25public.
00:33:25And don't make up some ridiculous joke about a landslide.
00:33:28If word gets out, people will laugh at you.
00:33:35It's raining hard outside, but the road was fine when we came up.
00:33:38There's no sign of the mountain collapsing.
00:33:40This Mrs. Ashworth really does have something wrong with her head.
00:33:43Totally insane.
00:33:44She shouldn't be brought out in public at all.
00:33:54Go.
00:33:58Go.
00:34:04Okay.
00:34:06We're leaving.
00:34:24So you don't want to sit on that?
00:34:25Your legs, you can actually stand?
00:34:28That's impossible.
00:34:29That's impossible.
00:34:31Lucas, listen up.
00:34:36Here.
00:34:37Cut all power to the club, seal every exit.
00:34:40Clear every guest out of this hall.
00:34:42Now.
00:34:44If you don't want to die, get down the mountain now.
00:34:47Move.
00:34:56Stop! Everyone stop! This is my place! Where's security? Where the hell are my people?
00:35:10Protect Mrs. Ashford. Get down the mountain.
00:35:24The desperate screams of thousands of creatures, when the mountain collapsed, kept echoing in my head.
00:36:20The ultimate is to execute the
00:36:24And to fight the
00:36:28God, it's gone! It's really gone!
00:36:30If Mr. Ashford hadn't forced everyone out just now,
00:36:33all of us, more than a hundred people,
00:36:34would have been buried alive in there tonight!
00:36:36He saved our whole families!
00:36:45Mr. Damien Ashford, you're not going anywhere.
00:36:50Damien Ashford, you are suspected of causing a major engineering accident
00:36:53and endangering public safety. You're coming with us.
00:36:54Top-tier club? It was nothing but a shoddy project!
00:36:58To attract investors, he even faked the basic geological survey!
00:37:02He cut corners on the load-bearing structure and how to—
00:37:04This is murder!
00:37:13Damien Ashford and Preston Ashford,
00:37:15you are officially under arrest tonight on suspicion of causing
00:37:17a major engineering accident and endangering public safety.
00:37:23Mr. Ashford, thanks to you, our whole family survived that night.
00:37:27From now on, if Ashfield and Periades needs anything,
00:37:30we won't refuse.
00:37:31Yes, exactly!
00:37:33The entire upper circle remembers that you saved our lives.
00:37:49Mrs. Ashford, you even knew about that disaster before it happened.
00:37:53It was like a miracle.
00:37:55Now, everyone in high society knows that you are the true lady of the Ashford family.
00:38:14Lily, you can't catch me!
00:38:17Marcus, you're cheating!
00:38:18Titan, help me stop him!
00:38:20Ha ha ha!
00:38:25Mistress, Titan secretly ate an extra piece of Wagyu beef jerky at lunch again.
00:38:30That's not fair!
00:38:31You have to punish him!
00:38:53What are you smiling about?
00:38:58Mrs. Ashford?
00:38:59Mr. Ashford is hugging you again!
00:39:01So embarrassing!
00:39:02Meow!
00:39:06Mrs. Ashford, everyone in the manor are so glad to see you doing so well.
00:39:10The Sterling family treated you so barely before,
00:39:13and now they've finally paid for it.
00:39:15It's all in the past now.
00:39:25Elena, you are the greatest luck of my life.
00:39:32I finally have a complete, happy family now.
00:39:41Are you nervous?
00:39:45No.
00:39:47If you want to do this, I'll pave the way for you.
00:39:56Titan, come back!
00:39:58It stole my cookies!
00:40:04Check everyone coming in tonight again.
00:40:06Already arranged.
00:40:20Hey, Elena.
00:40:24It came from the port.
00:40:27Onyx, why are you here?
00:40:29Onyx is the crow my mother used to feed.
00:40:32After she died, it disappeared.
00:40:34Why is it here now?
00:40:35Red ship.
00:40:36Iron cages.
00:40:38The bad man is back.
00:40:41What did you hear?
00:40:45What did you hear?
00:40:46He killed the woman who always fed me bread.
00:40:52What?
00:40:56My mother.
00:41:01Mrs. Rowan?
00:41:04The bad man is back.
00:41:06The bad man is inside.
00:41:14Mr. Adrian Vail, chairman of the Vail Foundation has arrived.
00:41:17He actually came in person.
00:41:21Mrs. Ashford, it's a pleasure to meet you.
00:41:27Mr. Vail.
00:41:28Mr. Ashford.
00:41:29It's an honor to be invited tonight.
00:41:30You're Marianne's daughter, right?
00:41:32I've always remembered her.
00:41:34She was a very special woman.
00:41:38You knew my mother?
00:41:39We worked together briefly years ago.
00:41:43The bad man is here.
00:41:44The bad man is here.
00:41:46Don't let him near her.
00:41:47Red ship.
00:41:48Iron cages.
00:41:49Blood.
00:41:51I hope we'll have more chances to work together.
00:41:56The bad man is here.
00:41:56The bad man is here.
00:41:59The bad man is here.
00:42:00The bad man is here.
00:42:01The bad man is here.
00:42:01The bad man is here.
00:42:01What is this?
00:42:02The key to the old storage room in the West Wing.
00:42:06Your mother stayed at the estate for a while back then.
00:42:08My mom?
00:42:09She participated in the Ashford family's early animal rescue projects.
00:42:12After the accident, I had everything she left here sealed away.
00:42:15Why are you only telling me now?
00:42:16Because back then, I hadn't decided if I should tell you.
00:42:19I didn't know about this either.
00:42:20Your father didn't want anyone to bring it up again.
00:42:23Including you.
00:42:24Now, they should be returned to you.
00:42:37Her scent is in there.
00:42:50I couldn't ruin you, but I didn't guarantee you.

00:47:33i understand the ashford family's concern for animal rescue
00:47:37but this kind of way damages projects that truly need help
00:47:41the interview is over
00:47:42mr ashfield are you protecting your wife
00:47:44i'm reminding you not to turn your question into a legal notice

00:47:53he knows
00:47:55he knows you can hear them
00:48:00the news is out
00:48:05who leaked it
00:48:06the media arrived early
00:48:08it was a setup
00:48:14he knows i can hear them
00:48:18those boxes held animals before
00:48:21he let me hear them on purpose
00:48:22then he cleared the place ahead of time
00:48:24so he planted that great parrot too
00:48:27maybe not
00:48:29maybe not but he used it
00:48:32then we'll investigate another way
00:48:34he wants everyone to think you're crazy
00:48:37i'll show everyone what he's afraid of
00:48:49marion's daughter
00:48:50just as troublesome as she was
00:49:00they're not attacking the ashford family
00:49:02they're only attacking mrs ashford
00:49:06who released this
00:49:08the source goes through several layers
00:49:09but the direction is clear
00:49:11it's people from the veil foundation pushing this from behind the scenes
00:49:14wow
00:49:15they're saying bad things about you
00:49:17i know
00:49:19give me the list
00:49:21yes sir
00:49:25public opinion is against the foundation right now
00:49:28we suggest pausing all of mrs ashford's public appearances for now
00:49:30this is only to protect the foundation
00:49:34as long as she stays out of the public eye for a while this will blow over soon
00:49:39the ashford foundation was founded by my wife
00:49:42anyone who dares to question her can get out of the board
00:49:44mr ashford this isn't rational
00:49:46then you can be the first to leave
00:49:49they don't get to define you
00:49:51what do you think of mrs ashford's accusations against you
00:49:55i don't want to judge her i feel very sorry for mrs ashford
00:49:58she may need professional help not blind indulgence
00:50:02so you believe she has mental health issues
00:50:05i'm not a doctor but i hope she gets the care she needs
00:50:11he's lying
00:50:13i know

00:51:49breaks breaks breaks breaks
00:51:51crash crash crash
00:51:57i always thought it was an accident the official report said the road was slippery that
00:52:01rainy night if captain remembers all this it means mrs rowan was indeed threatened by
00:52:04this time
00:52:06this time i won't let him hurt you

00:52:16sir captain has shown up
00:52:19what do you mean
00:52:19lady marian's great parrot from back then
00:52:24it was sent to the ashford estate
00:52:27who sent it still working on it
00:52:30find it
00:52:32and everything it has ever heard
00:52:36the conclusion back then was that the road was slippery on the rainy night
00:52:40the car lost control and went off the hillside
00:52:43check it again we already did
00:52:45the brake line shows signs of being cut
00:52:49the repair records were also altered back then someone cleaned up the evidence ahead of time
00:52:53brakes no brakes
00:52:58adrian did it we need a witness who can nail him
00:53:03there was a port manager back then the last time he showed up was one week before marian's
00:53:07accident where is he he's been missing for years will you respond to the ashford family's
00:53:12investigation i have no interest in getting involved in some wealthy family feud so the vale
00:53:16foundation will end all cooperation with the ashford foundation are you denying mrs ashford's
00:53:19accusations i only believe in the law and the fact still haven't found the ledger not yet

00:57:39that's where your mother lived after she got married
00:57:42she said it was the place arthur would never want to go back to
00:57:46check the ownership
00:57:54the old house was already sold by the bank at auction
00:57:57who bought it
00:57:59adrian vaith
00:58:06he's been waiting for this all along
00:58:10maybe he hasn't found it yet
00:58:12the old house is huge
00:58:14if the ledger is well hidden
00:58:15he'll need time
00:58:17then we'll be faster
00:58:20this will be dangerous
00:58:23i know

00:58:30this time
00:58:31i won't let him take anything
00:58:37i'll buy it back
00:58:41it's too late
00:58:44adrian just announced that the old sterling house will be turned into a children's mental health center
00:58:54the press conference is today
00:59:02you don't have to go
00:59:05i need to see it
00:59:08elena
00:59:11that's where my mother left the ledger
00:59:15and it's where i was locked up
00:59:21this place
00:59:23once belonged to a broken family
00:59:25from now on
00:59:27it will help more children suffering from family trauma
00:59:31are you responding to the ashford family's accusations
00:59:35i'm only doing what should be done
00:59:41you don't have to go back in
00:59:48there's something underground
00:59:51the bad man keeps looking
00:59:58underground
01:00:00are you sure
01:00:03the cat said so
01:00:08we can't get in during the day
01:00:10then we go at night
01:00:20there's an old tunnel under the house
01:00:24it used to be the wine cellar exit
01:00:30what about the cameras
01:00:32i can give you 10 minutes
01:00:35it's not too late to change your mind
01:00:38i've been scared for years
01:00:41that's enough
01:00:48here
01:00:50this is where they locked me up when i was little
01:01:01someone got here before us
01:01:12if you can see this letter
01:01:15it means you're no longer afraid
01:01:20she knew you would come back
01:01:22she also knew
01:01:24i would survive
01:01:33should we act now
01:01:35no
01:01:39let her take the letter
01:01:41why
01:01:43because the closer she gets to the truth
01:01:46the easier it is for her to make a mistake
01:01:54this is the coordinates for the old north bay port
01:01:58the letter doesn't say where the ledger is
01:02:01no
01:02:05the real ledger isn't on paper
01:02:06it's on the animals
01:02:09on the animals
01:02:11number number
01:02:13a 17904
01:02:16red and blue bird
01:02:18leg band
01:02:19loud call
01:02:21a macaque
01:02:23this is an endangered macaw that the vale foundation rescued and transferred 10 years ago
01:02:29where was it transferred
01:02:30the record says it was released to a sanctuary in south america
01:02:35but the sanctuary has no record of receiving it
01:02:40the
01:02:41if marianne was right
01:02:46adrian hid animal identity data inside electronic chips
01:02:52each animal should match one trade record
01:02:55so the ledger isn't a book
01:03:00it's a group of living evidence
01:03:04every rescued animal is a moving ledger
01:03:09as long as we find one group of animals
01:03:12we can trace the whole network
01:03:16check every animal rescue transport the vale foundation has been involved in over the past 10 years
01:03:21already on it
01:03:23the bad man is coming he knows
01:03:31the court has issued a temporary restraining order
01:03:36mrs ashford may not contact any animals under the vale foundation
01:03:39she may not enter related rescue stations transfer sites or sanctuaries
01:03:46mrs ashford will you still claim that you can communicate with animals are you willing to
01:03:50take a mental health evaluation
01:03:53the interview is over
01:03:58your mother once thought the truth would come out too
01:04:03what a pity she didn't understand the rules
01:04:10neither do you
01:04:14stay away from her
01:04:16mr ashford
01:04:17a court order is more useful than your threats
01:04:19adrian
01:04:23you're going to lose
01:04:27because animals don't lie
01:04:29and neither do the dead
01:04:33the vale foundation's lawsuit has already hurt market confidence
01:04:37if we stay tied to mrs elena's foundation the risk will grow
01:04:42we suggest cutting ties for now
01:04:47it's only a temporary pr move once public opinion settles down we can work together again
01:04:53you want me to give up on my life
01:04:55we're protecting the group
01:04:58we're protecting the group
01:04:59we're protecting the group
01:05:00you're telling everyone that ashford can be threatened
01:05:06public meeting
01:05:07public meeting
01:05:09now
01:05:17Mr. Ashford will you suspend cooperation with your wife's foundation do you believe her actions
01:05:21have caused a crisis for the group Ashford holdings will establish an independent animal
01:05:26protection investigation division Alina Ashford will be fully in charge does that mean the group
01:05:30will continue to support her she is not a risk to the group she is the Ashford family's bottom
01:05:35line I'm not crazy and I'm not using animals to create lies I simply believe that lives which
01:05:51can't speak human words deserve to be heard too are you admitting that you can communicate with animals
01:06:01I admit that I've heard many voices that were ignored if that's why they're attacking me
01:06:09then they found the right reason
01:06:13because I won't stop
