00:00:06Mother, the student council meeting ran a minute late.
00:00:11Ashford is never late. You're not half the person your dead brother was.
00:00:17Cassie, let me teach you how to listen to the tide.
00:00:21I can't hear it in my right ear.
00:00:24Then feel it. The tide always comes back, just like I'll always be with you.
00:00:31Your brother died protecting a deaf girl.
00:00:34It's your duty to carry on his legacy and uphold the Ashford name.
00:00:40All right, go toast Senator Smith.
00:00:42And remember, never show your weakness to anyone.
00:00:55I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
00:00:56Why does she always tilt her head when she speaks?
00:01:02Come with me to the restroom now.
00:01:07Every time you miss a beat, you're telling the world you're a cripple!
00:01:12By tomorrow morning, the whole state will know the Ashford girl can't even hold a normal conversation.
00:01:16Is that what you want?
00:01:17I didn't mean to.
00:01:18Sebastian died for this family and you can't even maintain basic decency.
00:01:22Come out in five minutes and toast everyone.
00:01:24Make one more mistake and don't bother coming home tonight.
00:01:31Drake, guess whose little show I just caught?
00:01:34Your arch-rival, Cassandra.
00:01:36Is that what you want?
00:01:39I am a champ.
00:01:40I am a champ for feels.
00:01:50And I am a champ for getting back.
00:01:55I am a champ.
00:01:57I am a champ.
00:02:04And I am a champ for getting back in 1st to 2nd to 3rd.
00:02:05Now, I am a champ.

00:48:33Cassandra, you still seem confused about your position.
00:48:36I'm not here to negotiate terms with you.
00:48:38What on earth do you want?
00:48:40I don't just want your empty shell.
00:48:42I want you to watch with your own eyes
00:48:44as that Malloy family is completely shattered before you.
00:48:47That's the price for them teaching you rebellion.
00:48:53Mr. Frank, harboring Major Kintrapan is a heavy felony.
00:48:56Bail is typically not permitted.
00:48:58I brought $2 million in cash,
00:49:00plus the former chief judge of the Federal Appeals Court
00:49:02is my personal guarantee.
00:49:0348 hours of bail, not a minute less,
00:49:05or my legal team will subject your entire precinct
00:49:07to a constitutional audit.
00:49:15Dad, you're hurt.
00:49:16If we don't find absolute proof that Arthur fabricated the evidence,
00:49:19Kyle is still going to be handed over to federal court.
00:49:21We'll find the proof no matter what it costs.
00:49:25Silly girl, take care of yourselves first.
00:49:28Arthur's tale isn't going to stay hidden forever.
00:49:30I had someone track down the man who set Kyle up.
00:49:34Who is it?
00:49:34Where are they?
00:49:35Let's go corner him right now.
00:49:37At the auto shop.
00:49:51Who ordered you to plant those drugs in Kyle's garage?
00:49:54It was not decked it.
00:49:56Talk!
00:49:57It was young Master Arthur from the Sterling family.
00:49:59He gave me 50 grand cash to shove the stash in there.
00:50:03Would you dare repeat every single word of that
00:50:05to a judge in a courtroom?
00:50:11Too bad dead people don't get to take the stand.
00:50:17Fiance, your life ends right here.
00:50:22Cassandra, if you're going to die,
00:50:23you might as well know the whole picture.
00:50:25It's fine to tell you.
00:50:27That mechanic named Malloy,
00:50:28I framed him.
00:50:30I spent a million bribing a police inside man
00:50:32and another 50 grand a scar base to plant the goods.
00:50:35So what?
00:50:36Arthur, do you honestly believe
00:50:38you control the entire New York judicial system?
00:50:40Down here, I am the judicial system!
00:50:43Today, the two of you accidentally
00:50:44plunge to your deaths from this roof
00:50:46and the police will close the file as an accident.
00:50:48Cassandra, this is what you get for betraying me.
00:50:54The audio stream is coming back live
00:50:55through Cassandra's bug.
00:50:57Audio encrypted and dispatched
00:50:58to the state independent
00:50:59anti-corruption prosecutor's office.
00:51:00Carbon-quap it to the FBI New York field office.
00:51:02It's time to tour the death flown
00:51:04for the Sterling family.
00:51:16Shoot them!
00:51:17Kill them!
00:51:22Drop your weapons!
00:51:24Down on the ground, now!
00:51:33You low-class pigs!
00:51:35Do you know who I am?
00:51:36If you dare arrest me today,
00:51:38I'll make sure you pay for this dearly!
00:51:39Arthur Sterling,
00:51:40you are formally under arrest
00:51:42for illegal possession of firearms,
00:51:44fabricating major criminal evidence,
00:51:45and operating an underground money laundering set work.
00:51:48The state prosecutor has full custody
00:51:50of your confessions.
00:51:53Game over, Arthur.
00:52:01Senator Eleanor,
00:52:02use your political immunity to bail me out!
00:52:04I got arrested only because
00:52:06I was helping you force Commander into submission!
00:52:08Mr. Sterling,
00:52:10I'm afraid you've lost your mind from fright.
00:52:12Your criminal actions have zero relation to the Ashward family.
00:52:18You dare throw me under the bus?
00:52:20If you leave me to rat,
00:52:22I swear I'll expo-
00:52:23Arthur!
00:52:24You have zero evidence, Arthur.
00:52:26Enjoy spending the rest of your life behind bars.
00:52:30Eleanor, I swear I'll tear you to pieces one day!
00:52:33Breaking news.
00:52:35Sterling family heir Arthur Sterling
00:52:36was raided and arrested by the FBI this afternoon.
00:52:40Prosecutors have released definitive audio evidence
00:52:42proving his conspiracy to frame innocent citizens.
00:52:45The mist end of his relaxing rate inspection.
00:52:50Release a joint family statement immediately.
00:52:53Freeze all of Arthur's family funds and trust accounts.
00:52:55Push total responsibility onto him personally.
00:52:57The Sterling stock can collapse because of this idiot.
00:52:59Understood.
00:53:00On it.
00:53:07To our family.
00:53:09You folks are the bravest people I've ever laid eyes on.
00:53:28It's you guys?
00:53:34Miss Cassandra Ashford?
00:53:37This is an emergency subpoena from the state Supreme Court.
00:53:50Involuntary medical guardianship?
00:53:52What is this supposed to mean?
00:53:54This is Eleanor pulling strings behind the scenes.
00:53:57Once this goes through,
00:53:58Cassandra's personal freedom will be completely and legally handed over to Eleanor.
00:54:05Senator, right now media focus is entirely on the Sterling family.
00:54:09Arthur is just an ignorant, arrogant fool.
00:54:13Since violence couldn't crush their wills,
00:54:16we'll use the law.
00:54:17Cassandra has suffered from persistent PTSD ever since the incident with her brother, Sebastian.
00:54:23As a heartbroken mother, I am petitioning the court for her medical guardianship.
00:54:28What judge would ever refuse a state senator protecting her mentally unstable, disabled daughter?
00:54:32Understood, Senator.
00:54:33I guarantee Miss Cassandra will never step foot outside the estate for the rest of her life.
00:54:39Miss Cassandra,
00:54:40Pursuing to the emergency petition filed by Senator Eleanor,
00:54:44the court finds you currently in a state of extreme mental instability with self-harm tendencies.
00:54:50We need to escort you immediately to a designated medical facility
00:54:53for a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric evaluation.
00:54:58If any of you dare touch her,
00:55:00I'll break your legs today!
00:55:02If you attempt to obstruct court officers in the line of duty,
00:55:04we will arrest you on the spot for assaulting an officer.
00:55:14Nova, if you fight the law here,
00:55:16they'll write whatever fabricated charges they want into the reports.
00:55:20But they're gonna lock you up in a madhouse!
00:55:25Trust me.
00:55:27I'll come back safe.
00:55:31Let's go.
00:55:51Your Honor, as a mother,
00:55:53seeing my degenerate into hanging out with Southside criminals
00:55:56because of the trauma of losing her brother years ago breaks my heart.
00:56:00I am petitioning for guardianship solely to protect her from coming to any further harm.
00:56:05Based on the current medical evaluation reports and Senator Ashton's testimony,
00:56:10this court finds that the recipient, Cassandra,
00:56:13currently lacks the capacity for self-management.
00:56:15The court is prepared to rule.
00:56:23Your Honor, the defense moves for an emergency submission of new evidence.
00:56:27This file will prove that Senator Eleanor is the one who've locked up in a psychiatric ward.
00:56:38This report, co-signed by two independent forensic pathologists and three social workers,
00:56:44shows that seven-year-old Sebastian's death was never an accidental car crash at all.
00:56:49Back then, Sebastian was suffering from severe lobelin pneumonia and the petitioner,
00:56:55Eleanor Ashford, in order to sculpt a political image during a crucial state senate campaign.
00:57:01Forcibly unplugged Sebastian's IV lines and forced him to participate in a two-hour open-air political rally in the
00:57:07pouring rain.
00:57:09Sebastian died of acute heart failure brought on by extreme exhaustion.
00:57:12The so-called car crash was nothing more than an excuse manufactured by Eleanor to cover up traces of abuse
00:57:17and divert public attention.
00:57:19The one with a true, severe antisocial personality and sadistic tendencies is the petitioner, Eleanor.
00:57:28Order.
00:57:29Based on the official CPS top-secret files submitted by the defense,
00:57:33this court finds that the petitioner, Eleanor Ashford,
00:57:36has severe credibility issues and potential abusive tendencies.
00:57:39The petition for involuntary medical guardianship is hereby dismissed.
00:57:43Cassandra, you are free.
00:57:58Contact Victor in Washington.
00:58:00I want to completely freeze Cassandra's...
00:58:03Eleanor.
00:58:05Do you think that by throwing me into prison like trash, everything is over?
00:58:10I will personally drag you and everyone you care about straight to hell!
00:58:30Mr. Staling, we've confirmed the final payment on the dark web.
00:58:41Let's go.
00:58:42We're going to the south side to start a fire.
00:58:48Burn it all down.
00:58:52Cassandra!
00:58:53Get down!
00:59:00Use the fire escape!
00:59:01Move!
00:59:02Move!
00:59:15Burning down a single apartment is too boring.
00:59:17That old hag, Eleanor, treated me like a rag doll, so now she's going to pay.
00:59:21Care to guess what I'm going to do to Eleanor?
00:59:24You better not do anything stupid, or the Ashfields will never let you walk away.
00:59:29Suspects upstairs, listen up!
00:59:31The entire perimeter is locked down!
00:59:36While the idiots downstairs are waiting for bomb squads, Eleanor, we've got plenty of time to settle scores.
00:59:41Since you've read the super path lead breaks, you should know that if you kill me, you won't survive either.
00:59:47I'm already a dead man looking at 30 years in federal prison, do you think I give a damn anymore?
00:59:52Take a look at this.
00:59:53Three shell accounts in the Cayman Islands pushing 60 million in black op political money, and the best part, the
00:59:58signature on the incorporation papers belongs to Cassandra.
01:00:02Arthur, you forged Cassandra's signature?
01:00:05What are you trying to do?
01:00:07If you don't instantly start a nationwide live stream confessing to taking illegal donations, rigging elections, and laundering money, I'll
01:00:14hand these files straight to the FBI downstairs.
01:00:17Care to guess how many years an 18-year-old high schooler will spend inside a brutal maximum security women's
01:00:23prison?
01:00:23How dare they lay a fend on Cassandra? I'll haunt you from the grave!
01:00:27Do you want a protectious political dignity, or do you want your last daughter's life?
01:00:31I am State Senator Eleanor Ashford. I am here to surrender.
01:00:37I accepted illegal political donations from military contractors and laundered money through shell companies.
01:00:46Enjoy your last few minutes of freedom, Eleanor.
01:00:51Soon, I'm gonna make you wish you were dead.
01:00:56Arthur's at the campaign office. He must afford something to blackmail Eleanor.
01:01:01Stand back! There are high explosives inside!
01:01:05By the time they realize there are no explosives, Eleanor will already be murdered.
01:01:08The front door's a no-go.
01:01:10We go subterranean.
01:01:11Do you know the layout of this building?
01:01:13Sub-level three of the parking garage has a freight elevator going straight to the top, but the wiring's been
01:01:17dead for years.
01:01:19Let's move.
01:01:23Use the maintenance ladder and the shaft. Stick close to me.
01:01:33Eleanor, your confession statement was brilliant.
01:01:38Do you think cheap tricks like this are enough to ruin me?
01:01:42Eleanor, the moment you threw me away like a spent asset, I swore I'd make you pay.
01:01:47Whatever you care about most, that's what I'll use to crush you.
01:01:51I'm gonna turn everything you cherish into knives stabbing back at you.
01:01:55You, you're a lunaturk.
01:01:57Even if you kill me, the rest of the Ashfords will drag you down with me.
01:02:03Arthur, your conspiracy is not going to win.
01:02:09Who's there? Show yourself!
01:02:13Hoo, get away!
01:02:17Go to hell, scum!
01:02:20A Southside mechanic bitch daring to meddle in sterling family business?
01:02:27Southside rule, if you can throw punches, don't waste breath talking.
01:02:30Die, you cheap stray dog!
01:02:32No!
01:02:33That's what you get for overestimating yourself.
01:02:37Rabbit dog, let go of me!
01:02:41Cassandra, my arrogant fiancé.
01:02:45Your Ashford family ruined everything I had.
01:02:48You treated me like a dog.
01:02:50You can kick away whenever you please.
01:02:52Now I'm gonna peel that pathetic sense of superiority
01:02:55is right off your pretty face, piece by piece.
01:02:59Arthur, you brought this on yourself!
01:03:08Hey!
01:03:10Help me!
01:03:15Cassandra!
01:03:16Pull me up!
01:03:17Pull me up!
01:03:18I'll give you all the offshore passwords to the sterling accounts!
01:03:21Arthur, you've done nothing but evil
01:03:23and you still expect me to save you?
01:03:24in your dreams.
01:03:26No, no!
01:03:30No!
01:03:38Cassandra, take good care of yourself.
01:03:44You think catching an old woman wraps this up?
01:03:46Nobody who crosses the sterlings gets off easy.
01:03:52Get me the fabricated evidence Arthur left behind.
01:03:55I'm going to totally destroy them.
01:04:11Someone's coming up!
01:04:18Freeze!
01:04:19Put your hands up in the air.
01:04:22Nova, back down
01:04:23or they'll shoot you on the spot for assaulting an officer.
01:04:29A warrant issued by the U.S. District Court
01:04:31for the Southern District of New York.
01:04:33Cassandra,
01:04:34you are formally under arrest for transnational wire fraud.
01:04:47The documents bear your client's personal signature
01:04:50and the funds involved total $40 million.
01:04:52The defendant possesses a massive network of overseas assets.
01:04:56This court finds Cassandra at extreme risk of flight
01:04:58and orders her immediate remount to the federal detention center.
01:05:01The best is yet to come.
01:05:06Diane,
01:05:07the new board of correctors of the sterling family
01:05:10is formally suing you for breaching top-teap confident-ouchial agreements.
01:05:13Every single bank account, fund, and offshore asset under your name
01:05:17was completely frozen two minutes ago.
01:05:21Using tactics like this against a humble, salaried corporate accountant like me,
01:05:25you guys really think highly of yourselves.
01:05:30Mrs. Frank,
01:05:31all family trusts in this property under your names
01:05:34have been fully bought out and foreclosed upon by a Wall Street hedge fund.
01:05:37Please vacate this building immediately.
01:05:43You bastards!
01:05:44You ruined my livelihood!
01:05:56Whoever is pulling the strings behind the searns,
01:05:59I am going to drag them out into the light.
01:06:12Innsmate 7190,
01:06:14put it on and move forward.
01:06:21Well, look who we have here.
01:06:23Our high and mighty Ashford princess.
01:06:26Ha ha ha ha!
01:06:27Where's your multi-billion-baller trust fund now, Cassandra?
01:06:31Down here, you can't even afford a single pack of black market menthols.
01:06:34I despise people like you through selfish way to fold money families.
01:06:39I saw it on the news.
01:06:41Your mother, that high and mighty Senator Elezna, is locked up in maximum security too, right?
01:06:46I heard the female guards especially love soft pampered society ladies like her.
01:06:50Is Eleanor crying and begging every night in her cell?
01:06:53Trading her body for extra soap and toilet paper?
01:06:55I might not have cash on me right now, but I do know that your biological younger brother
01:06:58is currently locked up in Rikers Island men's facility.
01:07:01All it takes is a little money through my lawyer to buy off the Aryan Brotherhood inside.
01:07:06They'll make sure your brother gets special, daily attention.
01:07:11Drag this bitch into the showers!
01:07:32Who did this?
01:07:34Back up!
01:07:35Sit down right now or your visitation privileges are instantly revoked!
01:07:40Nova!
01:07:40Calm down, don't give them an excuse!
01:07:45Nova, listen to me.
01:07:47Don't waste time.
01:07:48We managed to acquire a copy of the offshore account authorization submitted by the prosecution
01:07:53through alternate channels.
01:07:55Arthur was an exceptionally lazy idiot.
01:07:57He would never have flown out to the Cayman Islands to handle legal procedures in person.
01:08:01Look closely at the microtext on the edge of the seal.
01:08:03That's a New Jersey registration code, not the Cayman Islands Noter Office.
01:08:07He hired a local black market barger to forge that seal.
01:08:10A black market broker?
01:08:12Cassandra, are you saying someone paid off a broker behind the scenes to deliberately
01:08:17set this whole trap up?
01:08:19That underground casino Arthur used to frequent before he died, there should be clues there.
01:08:25Time's up!
01:08:26Hang up the phone immediately!
01:08:30Nova, please take care of yourself.
01:08:43Nova, if I'm not out in 20 minutes, drive back to New York and find Aaron.
01:08:48Don't wait for me.
01:08:51Kyle, you raised me.
01:08:52There's no way in hell I'm leaving you here alone.
01:08:56All right.
01:08:58We go in together.
01:08:59Let's bring Cassandra home.
01:09:08Two bourbons.
01:09:09Also, I need a name.
01:09:10The guy who used to run errands for Arthur Ashford's VIP table.
01:09:13Who was he?
01:09:14Arthur threw cash around like water.
01:09:16He handed all his dirty work to a local black market broker.
01:09:18We call him Tony the Limp.
01:09:20The old-timer specializes in fake seals and forged documents for the rich.
01:09:26Where is he?
01:09:27Old guy's having a rough night, lost his shirt at the tables,
01:09:29and is hiding from his bookie in the back restroom.
01:09:39The forged notary documents for the offshore accounts Arthur Ashfield ordered before he died.
01:09:43I don't know what you're talking about.
01:09:44Let me go!
01:09:46You don't tell me who's pulling the strings.
01:09:48Nobody can save you today.
01:09:50It was a lawyer in a suit.
01:09:52He paid me a ton of cash to stamp blank documents with an old New Jersey notary seal.
01:09:57He said...
01:10:01Dead men tell no tales.
01:10:19The broker slipped this to me right before he died.
01:10:25It's got his audio confession about forging the notary seals.
01:10:28This massive payout to buy off the broker?
01:10:30It wasn't from some third-party shell company.
01:10:32The source code...
01:10:34It traces straight back to Grayson's offshore hedge fund account.
01:10:38That son of a bitch!
01:10:40He's really trying to destroy Cassandra!
01:10:46He's down on talker.
01:10:51It's Diane.
01:10:53She got word out from the detention center.
01:10:55Grayson already bought off the supervising judge!
01:10:57First thing tomorrow morning,
01:11:00Cassandra is being secretly transferred to a maximum security federal pen in Pennsylvania!
01:11:08If the justice's system is too slow,
01:11:10we stop playing by its rules.
01:11:14We go to the news networks.
01:11:16We broadcast everything on this drive
01:11:19and his ugly truth
01:11:21to the whole damn world!
01:11:29If Grayson can buy off a judge,
01:11:31we take this to the biggest 24-7 news network.
01:11:35Once these ledgers and tapes hit national television,
01:11:38no judge will dare cover for him.
01:11:40Let's go!
01:11:41To the station!
01:11:42Right now, we have to beat that transfer!
01:11:47It's Grayson's private security team.
01:11:50The visitor log says Grayson is in a closed-door meeting
01:11:52with the network president on the top floor.
01:11:54That old frog.
01:11:55He's trying to buy his way out of the news cycle
01:11:57with a massive ad deal.
01:11:58We can't go through the front.
01:12:00I'll take the vats.
01:12:01We need a distraction to clear the lobby.
01:12:04I'm with you.
01:12:06I am Cassandra Ashford's attorney.
01:12:09Grayson is implicated in massive corporate fraud.
01:12:11Get him down here right now!
01:12:13You can't do this!
01:12:14We have every right to be here.
01:12:15This is a violation of protocol!
01:12:17No, wait!
01:12:18No, wait!
01:12:19No, wait!
01:12:20No, wait!
01:12:31I have proof of Grayson's crimes.
01:12:33Put the contents of this drive on the air.
01:12:36Right now.
01:12:41Mr. President, for the next three months,
01:12:44I don't want to see a single negative piece
01:12:45about me on your network.
01:12:52What the hell is this?
01:12:54Cut the feed!
01:12:56Open the door!
01:12:58Cut the damn signal!
01:13:03Drop all charges against Cassandra Ashford immediately.
01:13:06Fax her release order to the MDC right now.
01:13:09If she spends one more minute in that cell,
01:13:11the DOJ will be a national joke.
01:13:17Ms. Ashfield,
01:13:19the DA dropped all charges.
01:13:21You're completely cleared.
01:13:22You can go.
01:13:30You're free.
01:13:32I knew it.
01:13:33I knew you'd come for me.
01:13:37Get in.
01:13:38Let's go watch that bastard burn.
01:13:51Nobody move!
01:13:52Keep your hands where we can see them!
01:14:00Grayson, you're under arrest
01:14:02for multiple counts of corporate fraud,
01:14:04money laundering,
01:14:05and attempted murder.
01:14:09It's over, Grayson.
01:14:11Your luck just ran out.
01:14:19A federal judge has officially granted
01:14:21a temporary freeze on all assets
01:14:23under Grayson's name,
01:14:24totaling over $4.7 billion.
01:14:32No!
01:14:33My money!
01:14:38Wall Street hedge fund tycoon Grayson
01:14:40suffered a fatal heart attack tonight
01:14:42after being transferred to solitary confinement
01:14:44at the New York Detention Center.
01:14:45The medical examiner has ruled out...
01:14:47He got what was coming to him.
01:14:48The court just notified me.
01:14:50All my frozen assets and properties
01:14:51have been cleared.
01:14:52We don't have to squeeze into this dump anymore.
01:14:54But Nova and Cassandra
01:14:55have missed so much class
01:14:56because of all this.
01:14:57How is the Odyssey School's admin
01:14:59going to handle their enrollment?
01:15:00Don't worry about it.
01:15:01I've already had a word
01:15:02with the board of directors.
01:15:04First thing tomorrow morning,
01:15:05Nova and Cassandra
01:15:06are heading back to school.
01:15:11Well, well.
01:15:13Look who decided to grace us
01:15:14with her presence.
01:15:15If it isn't the high and mighty
01:15:17Miss Ashfield
01:15:17and her charity of bodyguard
01:15:19from downtown.
01:15:20What?
01:15:20I heard your mom got locked up
01:15:22and Grayson died in a cell?
01:15:23Your family's little drama
01:15:24is the biggest joke
01:15:25in the city right now.
01:15:26Drake,
01:15:27if you had the brain capacity
01:15:28to actually read yesterday's paper,
01:15:29you'd know that all
01:15:30of the Ashford family's assets
01:15:31have been unfrozen.
01:15:33And you?
01:15:34You're nothing but a parasite
01:15:35clinging to a trust fund.
01:15:37You don't even deserve
01:15:37to be in my line of sight.
01:15:39You little bitch!
01:15:40You think you're still the same?
01:15:42Ah!
01:15:47Drake,
01:15:49I heard your family's trust fund
01:15:50just filed for Chapter 11
01:15:52bankruptcy last week.
01:15:53What?
01:15:54Did you have to spend
01:15:55your freshman extortion money
01:15:56to plug the holes at home?
01:15:58Coming here to flex?
01:16:00Do you want me to break
01:16:01your other arm
01:16:02in front of the whole school?
01:16:07Let go!
01:16:08You downtown psycho!
01:16:10Let go of me!
01:16:11Drake!
01:16:12What do you think you're doing
01:16:13causing a scene at the gates?
01:16:15Take your little friends
01:16:16and march straight to my office now!
01:16:18It looks like your academic probation
01:16:20is about to turn into an expulsion.
01:16:24Miss Ashford Nova,
01:16:26welcome back to Odyssey.
01:16:27The headmaster is waiting for you
01:16:29in the auditorium.
01:16:30The school assembly
01:16:31is about to begin.
01:16:34Let's go, Nova.
01:16:38This semester,
01:16:40there were those who tried
01:16:41to use dirty money
01:16:42to bury the truth,
01:16:44to crush the innocent
01:16:45with power and violence.
01:16:47However, two of our students,
01:16:49in the face of the darkest abyss,
01:16:52refused to yield
01:16:53with extraordinary resilience,
01:16:55wisdom, and courage.
01:16:56They proved to us
01:16:57that justice is truly invincible.
01:17:00Now, on behalf of the Odyssey Academy
01:17:02Board of Directors,
01:17:03I present the highest order of merit
01:17:05to Cassandra Ashford
01:17:06and Nova Mallon.
01:17:29I never thought I'd see the day
01:17:31I'd be standing on the highest podium
01:17:32of this prep school.
01:17:33You earned it, Nova.
01:17:34You're braver than anyone else here.
01:17:35Nova, Cassandra,
01:17:37you two were absolutely amazing
01:17:38up there today.
01:17:39You look sure,
01:17:40and that suits you today
01:17:40like a real boss.
01:17:41Aaron picked it out for me.
01:17:42This tie is choking me to death, though.
01:17:46Listen, Nova, Cassandra, here.
01:17:48Actually, besides coming
01:17:49to your assembly today,
01:17:50Aaron and I have something
01:17:51we wanted to tell you in person.
01:17:52What's with the serious face?
01:17:54Kyle and I,
01:17:56we've decided to get married.
01:18:06Eighteen years ago,
01:18:08my stubbornness
01:18:09and class prejudice
01:18:10violently tore you two apart,
01:18:12condemning you
01:18:13to endless separation
01:18:14and suffering.
01:18:15It was the most unforgivable sin
01:18:16I've committed
01:18:17in my entire life.
01:18:18But fate is merciful.
01:18:19It has proven that true love
01:18:20is stronger than any hardship.
01:18:22Today,
01:18:22as a deeply apologetic father,
01:18:24I bear witness
01:18:25to your reunion in the light.
01:18:26Aaron, thank you.
01:18:27Thank you for taking back
01:18:28a broke grease monkey
01:18:29who only knows
01:18:29how to fix cars.
01:18:30Kyle, you are the only hero
01:18:31I've ever had.
01:18:38Ready?
01:18:40Three,
01:18:41two,
01:18:42one!
01:18:49Oh my gosh!
01:18:51Nice reflexes.
01:18:52Looks like,
01:18:53according to tradition,
01:18:54you're the next one
01:18:55walking down the aisle.
01:18:56Well, that depends
01:18:58on who's proposing
01:18:59and if the ring
01:19:00shows enough sincerity.
01:19:09I hate the fake
01:19:10small talk at prom.
01:19:11I only went before
01:19:11because I had to keep up
01:19:12the Ashford appearances.
01:19:13Now I just want
01:19:14to be right here.
01:19:15I don't like it either.
01:19:16Watching those rich kids' suits
01:19:18try to dance
01:19:18is like watching
01:19:19Morning Calatennis.
01:19:21That early acceptance letter
01:19:22to an Ivy League law school?
01:19:24Have you decided
01:19:24to sign it yet?
01:19:25Future hotshot lawyer?
01:19:28I used to think
01:19:28that having money
01:19:29and power meant
01:19:30I couldn't be hurt,
01:19:30but I was wrong.
01:19:31I'm going to learn
01:19:32the rules they wrote
01:19:33and then use the law
01:19:34to completely crush
01:19:35their arrogant little world.
01:19:36Sounds exactly like you.
01:19:39What about you?
01:19:40That letter
01:19:40you've been waiting for?
01:19:45Stanford.
01:19:46Full ride D1
01:19:47volleyball scholarship
01:19:48plus a double major
01:19:49in mechanical engineering.
01:19:51I'm going to the best team
01:19:52in the country
01:19:52and I'm going to show
01:19:53those West Coast elites
01:19:54what a real spike looks like.
01:19:56Everything that's happened
01:19:57in the last six months
01:19:58feels like a long,
01:19:59crazy dream.
01:20:00Good thing it's finally over.
01:20:01We can actually live
01:20:02like normal people now.
01:20:03The start of our real lives.
01:20:06The start of our real lives.
01:20:30Kyle, you handle a steak much better
01:20:32than I ever did.
01:20:34Grillin' is just like fixing a car.
01:20:36Get the timing right
01:20:37and the rest falls into place.
01:20:39Kyle, thank you.
01:20:41You've proven that love
01:20:42isn't about social status.
01:20:44It's about responsibility
01:20:45and character.
01:20:46We're family now.
01:20:47Let's leave the past in the past.
01:20:48The emotional bonding segment is over.
01:20:50Please plate those steaks any longer
01:20:51and they'll turn into charcoal.
01:20:54Cassandra, heads up!
01:20:56Nova, these hands are for signing
01:20:58multi-million dollar settlements,
01:20:59not for being your sparring partner.
01:21:01Oh yeah?
01:21:01Well, if you ever run into
01:21:02a stubborn old judge in court,
01:21:04a solid spike might work better
01:21:05than reading a statute.
01:21:06Once college starts,
01:21:08you and I are going to be
01:21:09nearly 3,000 miles apart.
01:21:11What's the matter?
01:21:12The head of the Ashford Empire
01:21:13is already missing me?
01:21:14For the longest time,
01:21:15I thought the Ashford name
01:21:16was a curse.
01:21:18But because of you,
01:21:19now it's no longer a shackle.
01:21:21Thank you, Nova.
01:21:22Every time I was in the dark,
01:21:23you pulled me out of the fire.
01:21:25Hey, the power of 150 grand.
01:21:27Of course I gave it my all.
01:21:29Then it was definitely
01:21:30the best deal I've ever made
01:21:31in my life.
01:21:31Although, if I wanted to buy out
01:21:32all your time for the rest
01:21:33of your life,
01:21:34I wonder if the entire
01:21:35Ashford fortune would be enough.
01:21:36Keep your checkbook.
01:21:37As long as Miss Ashfield
01:21:39is willing to give me her heart,
01:21:40it comes with a lifetime contract
01:21:41effective immediately.
01:21:43Deal.
01:21:44No matter where you go,
01:21:46you are never backing
01:21:46out of this contract.
01:21:47Act.
