00:00:00I'm not accusing anyone. It's just grandfather gave me that bracelet. You understand it means everything to me

00:00:10Anyone who was near the living room last night bags on the table

00:00:13You can check my bag too. Don't be scared this clears your name too. You're my name

00:00:18It's in the right side of the sofa first day and you're already using the new help to flex

00:00:22Must be nice having that kind of time. Did someone just say something? No, ma'am. No one spoke

00:00:28Mom you look exhausted. Are you feeling okay? Maybe I imagined it

00:00:33Great just my luck of all people. I get dropped into this rich family fake hair drama as the tiny

00:00:39little nanny fake hair

00:00:41Alliston you heard it too in the original book the hastings family starts falling apart because of elias the fake

00:00:47son

00:00:48He plays the perfect son up front then guts the hastings family piece by piece behind their backs

00:00:52Edwin go ahead. Don't keep everyone standing here

00:00:55Wait sir the sofa check it again grandfather. We did check it already. I said check it again

00:01:04It's here it really was in the sofa and they almost went through molly's bag

00:01:10I'm glad it's been found my fault. I should have been more careful. Sorry for the trouble everyone

00:01:15And you first day what a welcome. It's all right. Mr. Elias drop the act. You'll do it again

00:01:25Everyone leave

00:01:28God that scared me. I thought tonight was about to get ugly that new girl molly has terrible luck first

00:01:33day and she almost takes the fall

00:01:34So this is why rich families pay well day one bag search. Nope

00:01:38I need to stay invisible the hastings fake air mess is way above my pay grade grandfather dad mom

00:01:44Tonight was my fault. I'll be more careful from now on

00:01:49At least it's found mom you look pale want me to walk you upstairs. No, i'll sit for a while

00:01:56Then i'll head back to my room

00:02:02Dad you heard that voice too

00:02:03I did

00:02:05But molly never opened her mouth

00:02:07Elias didn't react neither did edwin or the staff

00:02:12Only the three of us can hear it

00:02:14It's her thoughts sounds like an inner voice. She said elias is the fake son and that he'll hollow out

00:02:20the hastings family

00:02:20And she was right about the bracelet

00:02:22But elias he's our son. We raised him. How could he no conclusions yet?

00:02:28But from now on we don't take anything elias says or does at face value

00:02:42Molly remember this you're here to work survive probation get paid get out

00:02:48Problem is tomorrow's the board meeting

00:02:51Elias takes mr

00:02:52Hazing's backup meds keeps him from going to the company then sweet talks mr

00:02:56Alistair into signing that trap of an agency agreement

00:03:02Backup meds agency agreement

00:03:07She's talking again

00:03:10Edwin

00:03:29It's me elias

00:03:32Grandfather coughs at night. I just wanted to check if his medicine is stocked

00:03:35Sir it's late. I should probably back with just the backup meds nothing more

00:03:39I don't want to get blamed for this fine. I'll just take a look log it by the book. No

00:03:42trouble for you

00:03:53Grandfather's old he shouldn't be worrying about company business at tomorrow's board meeting dad will have to listen to me

00:04:02He really took it

00:04:05Mr

00:04:05Alistair mr elias entered the study open the medicine box and took mr

00:04:08Hastings medicine don't stop him let him go

00:04:11It really was elias

00:04:15Yes

00:04:20Sir one box of medicine was missing last night mr

00:04:23Elias took it entered the study at 203 a.m came out three minutes later time person missing medicine it

00:04:28all lines up

00:04:29He only took the medicine he wasn't really trying to hurt dad right

00:04:35Clara

00:04:37Harm doesn't start only when poison is involved

00:04:40I understand dad

00:04:47Grandfather are you awake I came to check on you

00:04:53Put it away

00:04:55Put it away

00:04:56Yes, sir

00:05:03Come in

00:05:11Grandfather you look awful. Did you not sleep last night?

00:05:15Old trouble nothing serious

00:05:19Dad

00:05:21Grandfather isn't well

00:05:22Don't let him worry about the company. I'll go with you today

00:05:25That's thoughtful of you elias

00:05:28Mom

00:05:30We're family

00:05:31Grandfather's health matters more than anything

00:05:33Mr. Hastings your broth is ready

00:05:36Bring it in

00:05:42Sure being a good grandson that's the act

00:05:45What he actually wants is to get his hands on the company

00:05:51Mom

00:05:52What's wrong?

00:05:54Nothing

00:05:55As long as mr. Hastings isn't there mr. Alistair can get steered by him way too easily

00:06:00The trap is page four clause eight

00:06:02Once he signs it the north harbor project gets handed straight to the Ellington family

00:06:08If you want to go then come with me

00:06:11Great i'll get ready right away

00:06:15Alistair

00:06:17Company matters stay by the rules all of them

00:06:20I know dad

00:06:23Looks like i'm off the hook today

00:06:25Drop off the broth and vanish

00:06:26Rich family power games hard pass

00:06:29This is an important meeting

00:06:30Why isn't mr. Hastings here?

00:06:32He's unwell and needs to rest at home

00:06:33He won't be attending today

00:06:34Final materials for north harbor are due next week

00:06:36Today's meeting is critical

00:06:37Dad's been exhausted lately

00:06:38It's time I helped carry some of the load

00:06:40Elias has learned a lot under Alistair

00:06:41Maybe it's time he got more involved

00:06:42I've got a lot to learn

00:06:43Just trying to help where I can

00:06:46Counsel

00:06:49Mr. Hastings

00:06:50Dad this is just an internal agency agreement

00:06:52Do we really need counsel here for this?

00:06:54Every Haitlings document goes through counsel

00:06:57Review it

00:06:58Tell me if there's anything off

00:06:59Yes sir

00:07:01They're reviewing the agreement right here

00:07:02Looks like Alistair is being very careful today

00:07:05Careful is good

00:07:06It puts me at ease too

00:07:08Mr. Hastings there's a problem on page four clause eight

00:07:14Read it

00:07:16Clause eight

00:07:16The agent may as needed for project advancement

00:07:19Share north harbor pricing

00:07:20Partner information

00:07:21And internal evaluation documents

00:07:22With outside consultants or partner evaluation agencies

00:07:27That lets him share internal documents without approval

00:07:29That's a back door

00:07:30He can pass north harbor files to anyone

00:07:33Explain it

00:07:37My assistant must have printed the wrong draft

00:07:39I didn't catch it

00:07:39Counsel please strike the clause

00:07:41I only wanted to help with the workload

00:07:42I didn't think a mistake like this would happen

00:07:44Deleting one clause doesn't fix it

00:07:45The authorization scope and agency terms need to be rebrafted

00:07:48No redraft

00:07:49Dad

00:07:50I really didn't know that clause was in there

00:07:52I had no idea the consequences were this serious

00:07:54From now on

00:07:55You don't touch north harbor pricing

00:07:56Partner files or evaluations

00:08:01Understood

00:08:01I should have been more careful

00:08:03I should have been more careful

00:08:05Oh

00:08:06Mr. James

00:08:06I'm sorry

00:08:07No sir

00:08:07Alistair

00:08:08Alistair

00:08:08I don't see you just

00:08:10I don't see you just

00:08:28Stop by legal in the middle of the meeting

00:08:32Elias

00:08:33I swear I didn't touch your version

00:08:35I printed it

00:08:36Sealed it

00:08:37And no one swapped it

00:08:40Then why did dad bring legal into that room before the meeting even started

00:08:45Maybe someone tipped him off

00:08:46Who was on night duty by the study last night

00:08:50I'll check right now

00:08:51And find out who went into grandfather's bedroom this morning

00:08:54And who stayed near my mother

00:08:56All of it

00:08:58Understood

00:09:04Someone in this house is feeding them information

00:09:08Elias

00:09:10Why aren't you having soup?

00:09:13No appetite

00:09:22Mom

00:09:24Do I do everything wrong now?

00:09:27Elias

00:09:30Here we go

00:09:31The agreement was the assistant's fault

00:09:33The study was everyone overthinking

00:09:34And Elias is always perfectly innocent

00:09:36Always

00:09:37Mom?

00:09:40It's not that everything you do is wrong

00:09:42It's that when you do something wrong

00:09:44You admit it and take the consequence

00:09:50Mom

00:09:52You think I did it on purpose too?

00:09:56I hope you didn't

00:10:01I understand

00:10:06Mrs. Hastings

00:10:07I'll clear the unused bowls and take them to the kitchen

00:10:10Go ahead

00:10:13This table is colder than the AC

00:10:16Rich houses are not for humans

00:10:17I need to find a chance to quit

00:10:20Hold it together

00:10:21Don't get involved

00:10:22Don't get curious

00:10:23Pay shakes first

00:10:25First day in all this drama

00:10:27Scared you didn't it?

00:10:29A little

00:10:30The Hastings house usually isn't this messy

00:10:33Keep your head down

00:10:34Finish your work

00:10:35And go back to your room

00:10:36Got it

00:10:37I'll stay far far away

00:10:43Molly, Mr. Hastings wants to see you

00:10:46Me?

00:10:48Don't worry

00:10:48It's good news

00:10:50In a rich house

00:10:51Good news usually means the opposite

00:10:57Mr. Victor

00:10:58What would you like me to do?

00:11:00I haven't been feeling well lately

00:11:01From now on you will bring me my medicine and meals

00:11:04Me?

00:11:06That's right, you

00:11:07But

00:11:08But I've only just arrived

00:11:10Won't that be

00:11:11I know

00:11:12But I've been watching you

00:11:14You're reliable and never touch things you shouldn't

00:11:17I feel safe having you do this

00:11:19Is this what wealthy families are really like?

00:11:21Even a newly hired maid has to be closely watched

00:11:23All medicine in the box will be logged again

00:11:25You only deliver it on schedule

00:11:26You don't prepare it so you won't be liable

00:11:28Edwin will hand everything over properly

00:11:29Don't be nervous

00:11:30It's one extra duty

00:11:31We'll pay it as household overtime

00:11:32Of course, Mr. Hastings

00:11:34I'll bring it from now on

00:11:35Why is this job getting weirder?

00:11:36I'm just here to work

00:11:37How did I end up in the middle of their family business?

00:11:41Molly, if anyone gives you trouble

00:11:43Go to Edmund

00:11:43We'll back you up

00:11:44Thank you, Mrs. Hastings

00:11:45Thank you

00:11:46Please, no one give me trouble

00:11:47I'm timid

00:11:48I just want a stable paycheck

00:11:49I don't want any part of your family drama

00:11:51All right, go rest

00:11:52I'll step out now

00:12:00She really doesn't know we can hear her

00:12:02She hasn't warned us on purpose either

00:12:04Every time it's just her thinking

00:12:05She can never know

00:12:08Why?

00:12:11Once she knows

00:12:12We won't be able to tell what's real

00:12:14And what's meant for us to hear

00:12:15Elias

00:12:16Bob was on duty last night

00:12:17Edwin has the study log

00:12:18This morning your parents

00:12:20Edwin and the new maid Molly

00:12:21Went into Mr. Hastings room

00:12:22The new maid?

00:12:23Yes

00:12:23She started yesterday

00:12:24She was there last night

00:12:25When your bracelet went missing too

00:12:27There when the bracelet went missing

00:12:28There again when the broth was delivered this morning

00:12:31Should I look into her?

00:12:34Start with the people around me

00:12:36That agreement didn't sabotage itself

00:12:38You mean

00:12:41Dad doesn't start guarding against me for no reason

00:12:44Someone must be feeding him information

00:12:49Whoever it is

00:12:50I'll find them

00:12:54No way

00:12:54This wealthy household is far too sinister

00:12:57If the original plot keeps unfolding

00:12:59I'll end up as cannon fudder on the road to the Hastings family's downfall

00:13:02I have to find a chance tomorrow to ask if I can terminate my probation early

00:13:08Elias

00:13:08Did you call everyone here for something?

00:13:10Mother

00:13:10You've worked so hard for this family all these years

00:13:12I'd like to hold a banquet for your birthday to cheer you up

00:13:15It's just a birthday

00:13:16There's no need to go to so much trouble

00:13:18You've taken care of our entire family all these years

00:13:20Let me look after you for once on this birthday

00:13:22Mr. Elias is so thoughtful

00:13:24Something happened at the company a few days ago

00:13:26Maybe Mr. Elias is trying to cheer Mrs. Hastings out

00:13:28The nicer he acts the more scared I get

00:13:30Villains in rich family novels are always like this

00:13:32The smile hides the knife

00:13:33Elias it's just an ordinary birthday

00:13:35There's really no need for all this

00:13:37Mother

00:13:37The party can happen

00:13:38Edwin reviews every expense

00:13:41Of course dad

00:13:43I only want this family to feel warm again

00:13:45Elias don't wear yourself out

00:13:47I won't

00:13:52Easy with that

00:13:53That's their flower wall

00:13:55Break it and it comes out of your pay

00:14:02Julian carry the steel frame inside

00:14:04They're waiting to set it up

00:14:09Got it coming

00:14:16Wow he's strong

00:14:19Stop godling show him where to go

00:14:28Steady hands kid

00:14:29These fancy places need people who don't drop things

00:14:34Wait isn't that Julian?

00:14:35The real Hastings son?

00:14:37Why is he here so early?

00:14:40Where do you want this frame?

00:14:42Just over there for now

00:14:44Mrs. Hayden stop staring

00:14:46Keep looking at him like that

00:14:47And he'll think you're about to call security on him

00:14:49Oh over there by the piano

00:14:52Clara

00:14:57Mom

00:14:58Are you happy with the setup?

00:15:00Yes

00:15:00It's lovely

00:15:01I'm very happy with it

00:15:05This worker's pretty quick

00:15:09I'm not a worker

00:15:10I'm just delivering things

00:15:12So direct

00:15:14The real heir skipped rich people manners class

00:15:20Same thing

00:15:22Thanks for the hard work

00:15:24I'm paid to do a job

00:15:27No need to make it sentimental

00:15:33Happy birthday Mrs. Haydings

00:15:38Thank you

00:15:40Mom make a wish

00:15:42Okay

00:15:44Mom you've seemed off all day

00:15:46Are you feeling sick?

00:15:47I'm fine

00:15:48Just tired

00:15:50Go greet the guests

00:15:52Okay dad

00:15:59He's gone

00:16:00Edwin wrote down his name and license plate

00:16:07Alistair

00:16:08When our baby disappeared

00:16:09He had a cut on his wrist

00:16:11The doctor said it might leave a scar when he grew up

00:16:14That mover today

00:16:15When he was working

00:16:16I saw a scar on his wrist

00:16:18It looked like the one from back then

00:16:21I'm not saying it's him

00:16:23I'm just scared

00:16:24What if I'm wrong again?

00:16:28We'll check first

00:16:29Don't scare him and don't alert Elias

00:16:33What if he really is our son?

00:16:36He was right there today and I couldn't even talk to him

00:16:41If he really is our son

00:16:43We'll make up for what he suffered slowly

00:16:46But we can't rush this

00:16:48We can't just run up crying

00:16:50Tell him he's our son

00:16:51And expect him to accept us

00:16:52Like everything magically fixes itself

00:16:5620 years

00:16:58We found him

00:17:01His name is Julian

00:17:0225

00:17:03On the day of the party

00:17:04He was temporarily delivering for the staging company

00:17:06Usually he works at an auto shop on the east side

00:17:11What's his date of birth?

00:17:13The records say September 14

00:17:16Our son's birthday was that day too

00:17:20Go on

00:17:22He was adopted as a child by a family named Morau

00:17:25Later his adoptive parents died and he went out to work on his own

00:17:28The records aren't complete but his age and birth date match

00:17:37What about the scar on his wrist?

00:17:40People at the staging company say he does have an old scar on his right wrist

00:17:43He has plenty of scars from fixing cars now

00:17:45But that one was there long before he ever started working at the shop

00:17:49He has plenty of scars

00:17:50Alistair

00:17:51It's not enough

00:17:53Clara these are similarities we need certainty

00:17:55Something that truly proves he's our biological son

00:17:58Do a DNA test

00:18:01Yes

00:18:02We'll do a DNA test

00:18:05What are they checking this late?

00:18:11A delivery guy

00:18:12He'd better have nothing to do with the Hastings family

00:18:17Julian someone's out front for you came in a luxury car too

00:18:28They've got the wrong guy

00:18:29They've got the wrong guy

00:18:31Mr. Alistair he's out I'll speak to him

00:18:36Julian?

00:18:37Yeah

00:18:38Yeah

00:18:38Car trouble

00:18:39We're not here for the car we're here for you

00:18:42Remember yesterday's party?

00:18:43We're from that house

00:18:45What do you want with him?

00:18:46The delivery job yesterday was already paid

00:18:49We lost a child 20 years ago

00:18:51Your age birth date and the old scar on your wrist all match

00:18:54Julian

00:18:58So we're not asking you to accept us right now

00:19:00And we're not forcing you back into the Hastings family

00:19:02We just want you to take a DNA test and confirm whether you're the child we lost

00:19:05He can go for the DNA test but I'm going with him

00:19:08I don't trust rich people doing things behind closed doors

00:19:11All right, I'll take the test

00:19:14But when it's done I'm coming back to fix cars

00:19:23Don't be scared

00:19:25If anything feels wrong I'm taking you out of here

00:19:30Yeah

00:19:33Mr. Hastings your coffee

00:19:37Julian

00:19:38Today we're only asking you to take the test

00:19:42If you don't want to talk to us, you don't have to

00:19:46The test is simple, just a cheek swab

00:19:53Let's do it

00:19:56Help, why am I going to the DNA test?

00:19:58I only came to deliver things

00:20:03Dad

00:20:08I know

00:20:09The test confirms a biological parent-child relationship

00:20:15It's true

00:20:18Julian

00:20:20You're our son

00:20:24Julian

00:20:27I heard

00:20:30My son

00:20:33I know you want to claim me now

00:20:35You want me back in this house so you can make it up to me

00:20:38But 20 years alone out there, everything I went through, you don't fix that like this

00:20:43That's normal

00:20:45You don't lose a person, find them again, and pretend nothing happened

00:20:50Okay

00:20:52I won't push you

00:21:01I need time to process this

00:21:04Go home and think

00:21:06Come back whenever you're ready

00:21:09The Hastings door will stay open to you

00:21:14Thanks

00:21:17Mrs. Hastings, should this go with it?

00:21:22He's had a hard life out there alone

00:21:25Money is always useful

00:21:29Don't lead with money

00:21:38Just take the food

00:21:42Okay

00:21:46Julian, take a break, eat something

00:21:49In a minute

00:21:52You again

00:21:57We came to see him

00:22:05What do you need?

00:22:06Nothing

00:22:07We were nearby so I brought you some food

00:22:12This place is nowhere near your house

00:22:14That mouth

00:22:16The real air is built to kill rich family warm and funsy scenes

00:22:20Then I just wanted to see you

00:22:23Leave the food there

00:22:24Okay

00:22:35Well look at that

00:22:36It's still hot

00:22:42So it really is him

00:22:47Twenty years

00:22:48Why now?

00:22:50Why the hell now?

00:22:54Elias, the news leaked from Mrs. Hastings inside of the family

00:22:57Mr. Alistair isn't ready to make it public

00:22:59What do we do?

00:23:00If they won't make it public, we'll do it for them

00:23:03You mean?

00:23:04Write this

00:23:04The Hastings family sees me as extra now

00:23:07Their biological son is back

00:23:09And I, the fake son, lost all their love overnight

00:23:11Twenty years of family still loses to blood

00:23:14Anything else?

00:23:15That's enough

00:23:17Adopted son forced to give up his place?

00:23:19I'm not fighting him for anything

00:23:21I'll make them pity me and hand it over themselves

00:23:24These headlines are forcing our hand

00:23:27If Elias sees them, he'll start thinking along those whys

00:23:32Those headlines might not be from outside

00:23:35You think Elias planted them?

00:23:38Every headline makes him the victim

00:23:39Dad, Mom, I saw the news

00:23:42I don't want to make this harder for you

00:23:45Elias

00:23:46Julian is back

00:23:47I should be happy for you, it's just

00:23:49Those things people are saying hurt

00:23:51But if my staying here makes this hard for everyone, I can move out

00:23:55Elias, don't rush

00:23:56We don't make decisions based on gossip

00:23:59Don't say it

00:24:00That's what he's waiting for

00:24:01Promise him security and he'll ask for equity next

00:24:04Mom, what am I now?

00:24:07You're the son we raised

00:24:09We won't abandon you

00:24:10But those headlines come down

00:24:12Dad, you think I sent them?

00:24:13I'm talking about the result

00:24:15As for who sent them, we'll know after we investigate

00:24:19I understand

00:24:22They pull them fast

00:24:23Whoever sent them covered their tracks, but it points to Elias

00:24:28Elias is forcing our hand

00:24:31Elias is just scared he'll end up with nothing

00:24:33Being scared isn't the same as plotting

00:24:35So what do we do?

00:24:37A family dinner

00:24:38No press, just the family and council

00:24:41A family dinner?

00:24:43To see what Elias is really after?

00:24:45Yes

00:24:45If it's security he wants, we can give him that

00:24:48If he wants the company, that's different

00:24:52We're family

00:24:54The real son's back, but the boy you raised

00:24:57You can't just cut him off

00:24:59He grew up here

00:25:03Finding out you're not blood overnight

00:25:06That's hard on anyone

00:25:08Grandfather, Dad, Mom, I've thought about this

00:25:11I can leave

00:25:13Make room for Julian, I just need some security

00:25:16There it is

00:25:17The equity play

00:25:18Right on time

00:25:24What kind of security are you asking for?

00:25:26I just want to know if the Hastings family will still leave me a way out

00:25:30Poor Elias

00:25:31That hurts to hear

00:25:32We raised him for 20 years

00:25:34Whatever happens, there's love there

00:25:35We can't be cruel

00:25:36Exactly

00:25:37The biological son is back, but you can't just throw away the one you raised

00:25:41Elias, we've never planned to kick you out

00:25:43Mom, I know

00:25:45But if I stay, people will talk

00:25:47I'm not greedy

00:25:48I'm just scared of waking up with nothing

00:25:50Not greedy?

00:25:5212% equity

00:25:53Half a year's dividends could feed regular people for life

00:25:56Once Elias gets the shares

00:25:58Elias will pledge them straight to the Ellington family

00:26:02Counsel

00:26:03Review the agreement

00:26:05Of course, Mr. Alistair

00:26:06Dad, it's just a basic agreement

00:26:09Do we really need counsel for this?

00:26:11Company business goes through counsel

00:26:14Always

00:26:17Elias, if all you want is security, we can talk

00:26:20But company equity is not something we blur

00:26:23Mrs. Hakings finally held her ground

00:26:25But this isn't security

00:26:26He's taking a piece of the company

00:26:31Mr. Alistair, there's a binding clause in this

00:26:34What binding clause? Be specific

00:26:36The equity won't be held directly by Mr. Elias

00:26:39It will be placed in a trust

00:26:41The trust manager is an offshore fund

00:26:43An offshore fund?

00:26:44Once this agreement takes effect, the offshore fund can manage it, pledge it, and transfer part of the beneficial interest

00:26:51In other words, Hastings' equity would be effectively controlled by an outside institution

00:26:56I don't understand any of that

00:26:58A friend helped me, I just wanted some basic security

00:27:01Which friend?

00:27:02Just a friend

00:27:03One of the fund's controllers is a nominee for Ellington

00:27:07They used the same company to buy land near North Harbor four years ago

00:27:10Ellington?

00:27:11They're our North Harbor competition

00:27:17Elias, you need to explain this

00:27:20Dad, Mom, now that Julian's back, everything I do is wrong

00:27:23Before, you'd ask if I was okay

00:27:25Now one document and suddenly I'm the enemy?

00:27:29Leave me out of this

00:27:30Julian, I'm not blaming you

00:27:34I don't want anything from the Hastings

00:27:36And I'm not your excuse

00:27:38Julian, that's not what this is

00:27:40Then what is it?

00:27:41I didn't come back so you could put me and him on a scale

00:27:44Let him go

00:27:46Don't push him

00:27:46Give him time

00:27:48The one who cries is asking for benefits

00:27:50The one who doesn't cry is already hurt

00:27:52Mom, I didn't mean to make Julian feel bad

00:27:54Elias, we raised you for 20 years

00:27:57We'll give you a good life

00:27:58But Hastings' equity isn't payment for old love

00:28:01Mom, even you?

00:28:03I'm not denying 20 years of love

00:28:04But you can't trade 20 years of love for company shares

00:28:10We'll give you a good life

00:28:12But the company doesn't go to someone with divided loyalties

00:28:15Grandfather, I'm not disloyal

00:28:17You haven't been in touch with Ellington?

00:28:19No

00:28:20It doesn't take much

00:28:21The fund controller leads straight to Ellington

00:28:24Council, open it, read it

00:28:27The fund account has had four transactions with an Ellington investment company in the past three months

00:28:32The amounts aren't large, but they're enough to prove a connection

00:28:35I didn't know

00:28:36I swear, I was tricked

00:28:37First, page four, clause eight

00:28:40You said your assistant printed the wrong version

00:28:43Now the equity trust is tied to offshore money

00:28:46And again, you were tricked

00:28:49Elias, we gave you chances

00:28:50This can't be overlooked

00:28:52If Ellington gets Hastings shares, that's a real problem

00:28:55So that's why you called everyone here

00:28:58To put me on trial in front of the family

00:28:59You brought the agreement yourself

00:29:02This agreement is void

00:29:04Understood

00:29:11From today on, Elias is off every core project

00:29:15Finance, contracts, client lists, none of it

00:29:17Father, what do you mean?

00:29:19Are you trying to kick me out of Hastings Corporation and cast me out of the Hastings family?

00:29:22Nobody is casting you out of the Hastings

00:29:25I'm merely taking back the authority I gave you

00:29:27It's damage control

00:29:29Can't I make the Hastings thrive even better?

00:29:31Enough

00:29:33Let's drop this matter

00:29:34You needn't say another word

00:29:39Finally, they didn't cave just because he played poor little me

00:29:43Julian!

00:29:44What now?

00:29:45About tonight

00:29:46I'm sorry

00:29:47You don't need to apologize to me

00:29:50I know you don't want to be dragged into this

00:29:53Then don't put me on the table for everyone to pick over

00:29:55Yeah, I had it rough, but I never asked you for anything

00:29:58I didn't come back to collect a debt

00:29:59We just want to make it up to you

00:30:01I know, but every time I see you all I can think is

00:30:04Why didn't anyone find me for 20 years?

00:30:06I'm sorry

00:30:10Don't rush to say sorry to me

00:30:11If you keep apologizing, I won't know how to respond

00:30:13After all, we've been apart for so many years

00:30:15I truly don't know how to face you

00:30:17It's not that he doesn't want to acknowledge you

00:30:19He just doesn't know how to

00:30:20Very well

00:30:21I won't force you to acknowledge us right now

00:30:23Take your time

00:30:24There's no rush

00:30:25Still, should you ever wish to come back

00:30:27The doors of the Hastings family will always be open for you

00:30:30Thank you

00:30:31I'll take my leave now

00:30:34Mrs. Hastings, your wine

00:30:37Right

00:30:38They stripped all my authority

00:30:39Elias, I told you

00:30:41The Hastings family will never truly see you as one of their own

00:30:44Cut the crap

00:30:45The trust agreement failed

00:30:46Can you still get the North Harbor files?

00:30:48Core access is gone

00:30:49That doesn't mean I'm helpless

00:30:51What's your move?

00:30:52They want to cut me out?

00:30:53Fine

00:30:54They won't like what I do next

00:30:55Now that's a partner, Elias

00:31:04If I get caught, I'm finished

00:31:06But the money's too good

00:31:08Last time, just this once

00:31:09If we get North Harbor, we're set this year

00:31:12If Ellington gets it, we're in trouble after this

00:31:15Mr. Hastings, Mr. Alistair said the files go to the 20th floor conference room

00:31:19Hmm, let's go

00:31:20Even Mr. Hastings came in

00:31:22Today's internal meeting must be huge

00:31:24I'm only here to deliver files

00:31:26Drop them off in need

00:31:27Please, please don't run into another Elias mess

00:31:29Mr. Hastings, what brings you here in person?

00:31:31Just checking in

00:31:32The pen in his suit pocket has a pinhole camera

00:31:34At today's meeting, he'll film North Harbor's bottom price

00:31:37Tomorrow, Ellington will undercut Hastings

00:31:41Jude

00:31:43Mr. Alistair, what do you need?

00:31:45You'll attend today's internal Hastings meeting too

00:31:53I'm the project manager, of course I should attend

00:31:55Don't let him into the conference room

00:31:57Once he films the bottom price, Hastings is going to get crushed by Ellington tomorrow

00:32:00Meeting times changed

00:32:02Changed

00:32:03Team members wait in the small conference room

00:32:06Yes, Mr. Alistair

00:32:08Don't spook him

00:32:10I know

00:32:12Mr. Alistair, the conference room equipment is clean

00:32:15Check personal belongings too

00:32:18Everyone's?

00:32:19Yes

00:32:22Mr. Hastings sent over the North Harbor route files

00:32:24Wanted my opinion on transport

00:32:27Why are you here?

00:32:28That's Alistair's real son

00:32:30He just came back and he's already on North Harbor

00:32:33He doesn't look like he's done this before

00:32:35Something inside your company is about to walk out

00:32:37Why do you say that?

00:32:39That guy

00:32:40He checked the room first, then your file

00:32:47When you changed the meeting time

00:32:48His first move was touching the pen in his pocket

00:32:50Not asking for the new time

00:32:54Jude?

00:32:58I used to fix cars

00:33:00I've seen drivers hide recorders to take off book jobs

00:33:03When people are guilty, their hands go to the hiding spot first

00:33:06And if he's after the price?

00:33:08Then don't grab him yet

00:33:09Why?

00:33:10Catch him now, you stop one leak

00:33:12Let him send out something fake, you catch the people behind him too

00:33:14Give them what they want, just make sure it buries them

00:33:16He really said that?

00:33:18Ethan, prepare a fake bottom price

00:33:20Format, page count, approval marks, make it look real

00:33:25Julian, you're good

00:33:26Not really, I've just been burned before

00:33:32Ethan, can you monitor Jude's computer?

00:33:35Yes, I'll handle it right away

00:33:44Why is this bottom price so much lower than before?

00:33:46Mr. Alistair changed it

00:33:48He wants to catch Ellington off guard

00:33:50Mr. Alistair said only the people in this room knows this number

00:33:53No one else in the company does

00:33:55Mr. Alistair is going hard this time

00:34:09The pen's a recorder, he's filming

00:34:15That concludes today's meeting

00:34:26Jude, what's wrong with you?

00:34:30Mr. Alistair, it's nothing

00:34:39I got it

00:34:40I got it

00:34:41The base price and the range

00:34:43Send it over

00:34:46Alistair was watching everything today

00:34:48I almost got caught

00:34:50Since you're still able to call me and haven't been caught

00:34:52That means they have no solid evidence

00:34:54They're only testing and warning you

00:34:56There's no need to be so worried

00:35:01After this, I'm leaving the country

00:35:03Take it slow

00:35:04We'll talk about this after tomorrow's bidding

00:35:06Right now, the top priority is to keep things under control

00:35:08And finish the final step

00:35:10You really sent all the data out

00:35:12What's more, the target server is linked to our competitor, Ellington Corporation

00:35:16All right, Ethan

00:35:18Preserve all this evidence

00:35:19It will prove invaluable later on

00:35:20Tomorrow, Ellington Corporation will undercut you by this figure

00:35:24They will think victory is theirs for the taking

00:35:27Little do they know this is nothing but a fake bid

00:35:30Designed to misdeed them

00:35:34Your real proposal has problems too

00:35:38What did you say?

00:35:40This route looks shorter

00:35:41But it gets jammed during rush hour

00:35:44If refrigerated trucks get stuck

00:35:46Fuel cost and delivery time both change

00:35:49The quote looks good

00:35:50But once operations start

00:35:51You'll lose money

00:35:52Go on

00:35:55There isn't enough backup storage

00:35:57If Northport gets hit by heavy rain

00:35:59The low lagging warehouse can't be used

00:36:01You don't have a second fallback point

00:36:04We discussed that before but didn't put it in the formal proposal

00:36:10The judges won't just look at your price

00:36:12They'll look at whether you can run this long term

00:36:14Can we revise it tonight?

00:36:16Yes, but the whole team has to work overtime

00:36:19I know a few of the actual hall routes

00:36:20I can map them out for you

00:36:25Tell me I'll write it down

00:36:30We used to think shorter routes save money

00:36:32Didn't realize traffic could eat this much profit

00:36:35Trucks don't run on maps

00:36:36Drivers watch for clearances choke points and load times

00:36:39The new route is eight kilometers longer per trip

00:36:42But the timing is more stable and cold chain losses are lower

00:36:44With backup storage added the judges will trust our proposal more

00:36:47Sir, have you really never worked on this kind of project before?

00:36:51You're incredible

00:36:53I've just seen how trucks actually run

00:36:57Not riding on the Hastings name

00:37:00But on his own merit that's the mark of a true Hastings

00:37:04The real heir isn't smart by birth

00:37:06He suffered so he knows a paper plan and real operations are not the same thing

00:37:12Hardship isn't glamorous

00:37:13But it teaches skill

00:37:18Mr. Hastings did you say something?

00:37:22Nothing my coffee's cold

00:37:25Sorry, I'll get you a fresh one

00:37:30Hastings can't beat us this time

00:37:32Our quote is just below their base price

00:37:35The judges will lean toward us

00:37:36Naturally

00:37:37We worked so hard to get hold of this bid information

00:37:40So we're going to make brilliant use of it

00:37:42This time we Ellington are bound to win the tender

00:37:45The Ellington people are smiling way too obviously

00:37:50They'll find out soon enough if they smiled too early

00:37:54The North Harbor Logistics Park bidding begins now

00:37:59This constitutes the complete proposal from Ellington

00:38:02Ellington's bid may not be the lowest

00:38:04Yet we believe it is the most reasonable one available

00:38:06Closely aligned with the actual project costs

00:38:10Your bid range shows very little deviation from market-based estimates

00:38:15That only goes to show how thoroughly we have prepared

00:38:18And how diligently we've researched the market

00:38:20They base their figures entirely on the fake bottom price we fumicated

00:38:27Good morning respected judges

00:38:29What Hastings is submitting today is not merely a

00:38:31Proposal focused on driving down prices

00:38:33The North Harbor Logistics Park cannot simply be put into operate upon completion

00:38:37The real challenge lies in long-term operations

00:38:38We have revised transportation routes and added backup warehousing capacity

00:38:41Though individual construction costs have risen slightly

00:38:43Operational losses will be reduced by 15% over three years

00:38:48A backup storage plan

00:38:53They aren't working off that bottom line figure

00:38:57And what even is this backup warehousing solution?

00:39:00Why didn't Jewel mention it to us?

00:39:01Then what exactly have we got in our hands?

00:39:03Hastings has submitted a highly reasonable bid

00:39:05Furthermore, its proposed backup warehousing solution

00:39:08Takes various contingencies into account and is highly practical

00:39:12On the other hand, while Ellington's proposal comes with a low price tag

00:39:16It aligns suspiciously closely with an anomalous set of calculations

00:39:21And lacks corresponding operational support

00:39:28Just a coincidence

00:39:31Hastings wins projects with real proposals

00:39:34Not stolen numbers

00:39:38Record that

00:39:40Ellington's pricing source will need a formal explanation later

00:39:49After careful consideration, the North Harbor Logistics Park contract is awarded to Hastings

00:39:59We won

00:40:01Not by underpricing

00:40:03By having the better plan

00:40:09Mr. Alistair

00:40:11Clever move

00:40:13Though not quite as well informed as Ellington

00:40:18Sir, water?

00:40:21Sir, water?

00:40:26Just call me Julian

00:40:29Sure, Julian

00:40:32How did you know that backup route would be safer in heavy rain?

00:40:35This side sits higher

00:40:37The road is old, but it won't flood

00:40:39Drivers would rather go slower than risk the cargo getting soaked

00:40:43That makes sense

00:40:44We only checked system traffic data before

00:40:46We didn't consider what drivers actually choose

00:40:52For North Harbor, operations will adjust staffing

00:40:54Jude, cooperate with the internal investigation

00:40:57All your access is revoked, effective immediately

00:41:00Mr. Alistair, it was Elias

00:41:01He told me to contact Ellington

00:41:03I-

00:41:03Please let me go

00:41:04The evidence has been handed to legal and the police

00:41:06So there really was a mole

00:41:08And Elias too

00:41:09No wonder the meeting time suddenly changed yesterday

00:41:13The base price you gave us was fake

00:41:18That was the file I got

00:41:20Ellington nearly got flagged by the review board today

00:41:23Elias, did Hatings make a fool out of you?

00:41:28Failed to steal the drugs

00:41:30Failed to grab the shares

00:41:31And now, failed the North Harbor bid

00:41:34Shut up

00:41:38Who is leaking information?

00:41:40The morning after the drug theft, Molly brought soup

00:41:44At the Equity family dinner, she was there

00:41:46At the North Harbor meeting, she delivered the meeting files

00:41:50Molly, every time

00:41:53You just happened to be around

00:42:00Sir, Jude was taken away, we can't reach him for now

00:42:05Look into Molly

00:42:06The maid?

00:42:07Ever since she entered the Hastings house, everything I've done has gone wrong

00:42:10But she's just a maid

00:42:11The more invisible someone is

00:42:14The better they are at passing messages

00:42:16Understood

00:42:17I'll look into her now

00:42:20First, find a way to get her kicked out of the Hastings house

00:42:25My overtime pay came through

00:42:26They really didn't short me

00:42:28Working for a rich family is hard, but the money is seriously good

00:42:32Just hang in there

00:42:33Once this blows over, I'll resign

00:42:37Elias, why did you call everyone to the living room?

00:42:41This concerns the Hastings family

00:42:50Molly?

00:42:51Who sent you here?

00:42:55Master Elias, what are you talking about?

00:42:57Stop pretending

00:42:58You're a new maid

00:43:00Why do you keep appearing in the study, and even near the company conference room?

00:43:03Doesn't everyone think that's too convenient?

00:43:06The study in the conference room? That does sound suspicious

00:43:08She hasn't been here long, how does she keep running into the family's biggest issues?

00:43:16I wasn't there to steal information

00:43:18Then explain why you were there every single time

00:43:21I'm done

00:43:21I really can't explain why I was there every time

00:43:23A maid getting pulled into all this already sounds impossible to explain

00:43:27If they decide I'm a competitor spy, I won't even get a chance to defend myself

00:43:32Elias, if you think she's suspicious, show evidence

00:43:39Evidence, of course I have it

00:43:40These are her chat records with someone outside

00:43:42The timing matches everything

00:43:43Chat records can be faked

00:43:45Julian, I know you don't like me, but this concerns the Hastings family's security

00:43:49You can't brush it off by saying fake

00:43:51Then investigate it properly

00:43:54Edwin, bring in a professional technician

00:43:58Yes, sir

00:44:02Mr. Alistair, I brought the technician

00:44:07Verify it here

00:44:08Printed screenshots aren't enough

00:44:09I need the original files

00:44:11Screenshots still aren't proof

00:44:13Screenshots only prove someone made these images

00:44:15They don't prove she sent those messages

00:44:17Bring the original files

00:44:19Fine

00:44:20The original files are on this USB drive

00:44:27I never sent those

00:44:29Of course you'd deny it

00:44:31These images show signs of editing

00:44:33What signs?

00:44:34The edge pixels around the chat bubbles don't match

00:44:36The timestamp font doesn't match the system default

00:44:38And here, the avatar shadow was copied and pasted

00:44:40All the images have the same issue

00:44:42These weren't exported from a phone

00:44:43They were stitched together later

00:44:44They're fake?

00:44:45But he made it sound so real just now

00:44:48I didn't make this

00:44:50Someone handed these materials to me

00:44:51Claiming Molly was compromised

00:44:52I had no idea they were forged by her

00:44:55I swear

00:44:55I was only worried about the Hastings family

00:44:57And acted out of impulse

00:45:01Who gave them to you?

00:45:03A former maid

00:45:07Bring her in

00:45:09Mom, she's right outside

00:45:12How well prepared

00:45:14Margaret, come in

00:45:19Mr. Hastings

00:45:21Mr. Alistair

00:45:22Mrs. Hastings

00:45:24You said Molly was suspicious

00:45:26Yes

00:45:27I saw it myself

00:45:28She kept sneaking into the study

00:45:30And later she followed people to the company conference room

00:45:32I wasn't sneaking around

00:45:34You still won't admit it

00:45:35You're a maid

00:45:36Instead of staying in the kitchen or servants' quarter

00:45:38You kept going near important family areas

00:45:40If that's not suspicious, what is?

00:45:43So when you're low status

00:45:44Even doing your job looks suspicious

00:45:51That day, Mr. Hastings was taking a nap

00:45:54And the study was cold

00:45:54I asked Molly to get a blanket

00:45:56It's recorded here

00:45:57As for the company conference room

00:45:59I asked her to deliver soup

00:46:00That still doesn't prove she's clean

00:46:02She just happened to be nearby every time

00:46:04Isn't that too convenient?

00:46:05We have the servant schedules and surveillance records for those days

00:46:10The footage shows Molly never entered the study or conference room alone

00:46:15Every time she appeared

00:46:16She was either assigned there or accompanied by someone

00:46:18Trim a few clips off the beginning and end

00:46:21And perfectly ordinary actions can be twisted into sneaky, malicious conduct

00:46:27Still, I cannot help but wonder

00:46:29Why go to such great lengths to frame a housemaid?

00:46:32Is this what they call a powerful, wealthy clan?

00:46:35Julian, it's not what you think

00:46:37Who edited the surveillance clips you gave Elias?

00:46:40I don't know how to edit

00:46:42Someone gave them to me

00:46:44Who?

00:46:47Why are you looking at me?

00:46:52You said Molly was acting suspicious

00:46:55That's why I believed you

00:46:56Elias, wasn't it your assistant who told me

00:46:58Shut up!

00:47:00Keep talking

00:47:02I...

00:47:03I remembered it wrong

00:47:05After Margaret left, her account received three transfers

00:47:08The paying account belongs to Elias' assistant, Felix

00:47:11Elias, I was only following your orders

00:47:13You shut up, too!

00:47:15Let him speak

00:47:18Elias told me to find a former Hastings maid

00:47:19He said...

00:47:20He said if she could prove Molly was dirty, I'd get paid

00:47:24So you weren't investigating me?

00:47:25You were trying to pin a crime on me from the start?

00:47:27I only suspected her

00:47:29She was there every time

00:47:30Wasn't that worth investigating?

00:47:31Investigating and framing someone are not the same thing

00:47:34I've lived in this family for 20 years

00:47:36And you'd rather believe a maid than me

00:47:42It is not a matter of whom to believe

00:47:44We go by facts

00:47:46You claim Molly is a mole planted among us

00:47:48Yet the chat logs you presented to incriminate her are forged

00:47:52You allege her movements are suspicious

00:47:54But shift rosters and surveillance footage prove her innocence

00:47:57You say there are witnesses against her

00:47:59Yet those witnesses were paid off by your assistant

00:48:02I don't care

00:48:02This is all because the biological son is back

00:48:04You've turned against me and want me gone

00:48:06Back then in this household, you never questioned me like this

00:48:09Now even a maid can walk all over me

00:48:11Mr. Elias, I'm just a housemaid here to earn a living

00:48:15I never intended to meddle in your affairs

00:48:18Nor did I ever wish to get tangled up in your family's conflicts

00:48:21Yet time and again, you resorted to framing others to get what you wanted

00:48:26Now that you've been exposed

00:48:28You have no one but yourself to blame

00:48:30Who do you think you are?

00:48:32You have no right to talk to me like this

00:48:39Elias, please calm down

00:48:42She's an outsider

00:48:43You're doing this to me for an outsider?

00:48:45So outsiders can be framed by you whenever you want?

00:48:48Of course you're defending her

00:48:49You and she are on the same side

00:48:51Ever since you came back, everyone in this family changed

00:48:53Elias, starting tonight, you will move out of the Hastings house

00:48:57Hastings will hold you accountable for leaking confidential information

00:49:00And we will formally sue you and Ellington for commercial infringement

00:49:03Elias, from this moment on, you no longer have inheritance rights to Hastings

00:49:07Fine, don't regret this

00:49:16Molly, you were wrong tonight, I'm sorry

00:49:18Mrs. Hastings, it's okay

00:49:20I, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest

00:49:23All right, go rest

00:49:29Hi, pay, free room and bear

00:49:31If I stay here any longer, I'm going to lose my life

00:49:35I only came here to work

00:49:37Why do I have to get my bag searched, get suspected, and be treated like a spy for their rivals?

00:49:44Molly, it's me

00:49:47Mrs. Hastings

00:49:48Are you leaving?

00:49:50I don't think I can handle working for the Hastings family

00:49:53What happened today was because the Hastings family failed to control its own people

00:49:56That's why you were hurt

00:49:58Mrs. Hastings, this isn't your fault

00:50:00If you were wronged in the Hastings house, then the Hastings family is responsible

00:50:03If you want to leave, I won't stop you

00:50:05But I want you to know this

00:50:06Being lower status does not mean you deserve to be searched or suspected

00:50:10I knew that before

00:50:11But when it really happened to me, I couldn't do anything

00:50:13I'm scared this will happen again

00:50:14Being scared is normal, you don't have to decide right away

00:50:17If you still want to leave, I'll have Edwin settle your wages and give you compensation

00:50:20If you're willing to stay, the Hastings family will give you a formal answer

00:50:23A formal answer?

00:50:25Yes, not just empty comfort

00:50:27A formal apology and a result you're satisfied with

00:50:30Then I'll think about it

00:50:33Good

00:50:38Elias, your car is here

00:50:41Edwin, your attitude has shifted far too quickly

00:50:43Barely have I been cast out of the Hastings family and you show me not an ounce of respect

00:50:47Edwin, when have you ever treated me with such coldness before?

00:50:50Elias, I'm only doing my job

00:50:52Doing your job, how noble

00:51:01Elias, you're calling me so late at night

00:51:03Has something gone wrong?

00:51:05What, have you been completely cast out by the Hastings family with nowhere to go?

00:51:09Elias, it's truly pitiful to see you end up in such a state

00:51:14Cut the nonsense, drop that gawking act of yours, I'm calling about something important

00:51:17Oh, then go ahead

00:51:19What is this important matter that has you so eager to reach me in the middle of the night?

00:51:23The Hastings family is going to sue us

00:51:25And they must still possess the original evidence

00:51:27What original evidence?

00:51:29Besides, where would they keep documents related to these business dealings?

00:51:33The archives room of Hastings Corporation

00:51:37You want to steal the original files from the archive room?

00:51:43Not just steal them

00:51:45I want every file burned to ash

00:51:47Once there's a fire, this becomes much bigger

00:51:51If I don't burn them, I'm finished

00:51:53The originals of every North Harbor transaction record are there

00:51:56Once they're gone, Hastings won't have direct evidence to sue us

00:52:00Who's going?

00:52:03I'll arrange it

00:52:06It's windy tonight, make sure the windows are shut tight

00:52:24The files are inside

00:52:30There's even a late night snack today? Why are they suddenly being so nice to me?

00:52:34Have you thought about what I said earlier?

00:52:36You don't have to answer now

00:52:38Eat first, there's no rye

00:52:40Thank you, Mrs. Hastings

00:52:44Wait, tonight is when the archive room catches fire

00:52:47In the original story, that fire didn't just burn the evidence

00:52:50It killed a security guard on duty

00:52:53No way, right?

00:52:54Elias has already been kicked out of the Hastings family

00:52:56Would he still dare burn Hastings' archives?

00:52:59I need to make a call

00:53:05Run a surprise fire safety inspection at the company tonight

00:53:08An inspection this late?

00:53:09The company has had a lot going on lately

00:53:11A check won't hurt, your snack is getting cold

00:53:13Eat first

00:53:14Okay

00:53:14Notify all patrol guards to gather in the first floor security room

00:53:17And arrange a fire safety inspection

00:53:19Also, lock down the archive floor

00:53:21Don't alert any auspicious person

00:53:22If something happens, save people first, then the files

00:53:24Call the police too

00:53:25There may be an arson attempt

00:53:31I'm going to the company

00:53:38Fire safety inspection?

00:53:39That's odd

00:53:40Why are they doing it at this hour?

00:53:43It's an ad-op inspection tonight

00:53:45Report to the security office on the first floor for assembly first

00:53:47But the archive room can't be left unattended

00:53:49Mr. Alistair personally ordered everyone to gather in the first floor security room first

00:53:55Then I'll take the key

00:53:57We'll take over the key

00:53:58You go gather first

00:54:01Very well

00:54:02I'll head straight to the first floor security office for assembly

00:54:08Why did he leave?

00:54:15Don't panic

00:54:16Just take the money

00:54:19And do the job

00:54:25Stop right there

00:54:28Stop right there

00:54:35I got off on the wrong floor

00:54:38Wrong floor?

00:54:40Then why are you carrying a lighter and accelerant?

00:54:46It wasn't me

00:54:48Someone sent me

00:54:50Who ordered you to do this?

00:54:54Elias

00:54:54He said he'd give me 800,000 if I burned the archive room

00:54:59Are the files okay?

00:55:03Everything is fine

00:55:03The archives are being moved now

00:55:06Seal the electronic drive separately

00:55:08Don't keep them with the paper files

00:55:09Uh

00:55:14Do as he says

00:55:22Mrs. Hastings is the company okay?

00:55:25It will be

00:55:29They caught him

00:55:30The fire never started

00:55:31The archives are safe and the guard on duty is fine

00:55:33Someone really tried to burn the archive room?

00:55:36A lot has happened at Hastings lately

00:55:37Being careful never hurts

00:55:39See we caught the troublemaker

00:55:40Thank god

00:55:41The guard who died in the original story survived this time

00:55:46I want a lawyer

00:55:47You have the right to contact a lawyer

00:55:49But for now please cooperate with our arson investigation

00:55:53Dad are you really taking it this far?

00:55:55Are you really doing this to me?

00:55:56The moment you sent someone to burn the archive room

00:55:58This stopped being a family matter

00:55:59Also

00:56:00I'll pursue your and Ellington's commercial infringement to the fullest extent of the law

00:56:04The police are already investigating the Ellington family too

00:56:06How did you know in advance?

00:56:09Once you make a move

00:56:10You leave a trace

00:56:18Julian your badge

00:56:19Why does it say project assistant?

00:56:22I'm starting from the bottom

00:56:23That way no one can say I parachuted in because of the hating's name

00:56:28Who would dare say that now?

00:56:30On the North Harbor plan you understood real routes better than all of us

00:56:34I only know a little about driving

00:56:36There's still a lot I need to learn at work

00:56:45Are you coming home for dinner after work?

00:56:49Depends

00:56:49If I do it might be late

00:56:52That's fine

00:56:53The kitchen will save you dinner

00:56:57Don't wait up too late

00:57:01I know

00:57:11Mrs. Hastings

00:57:12Should I reheat it?

00:57:14No

00:57:16He said depends so we'll let it depend

00:57:22You're back

00:57:31If you're eating eat

00:57:33Close the file and put it aside

00:57:38Got it

00:57:42Now this feels like a family

00:57:44They're not acting overly affectionate

00:57:46They're not acting overly affectionate like nothing ever happened

00:57:50Just sitting at the same table and getting used to each other slowly

00:57:55That's good enough

00:57:58That's good enough

00:57:59It's over

00:58:01The Hastings family is fine now

00:58:03I need to tell them clearly that I'm resigning

00:58:06The pay is high and the food is great but

00:58:09Rich family drama is way too terrifying

00:58:19Come in

00:58:23Molly

00:58:24Mr. Victor is waiting for you in the living room

00:58:27Okay, I'll be right there

00:58:31Mr. Victor, Mr. Alistair, Madam Clara

00:58:34I wish to tether my resignation

00:58:37Let's hold off on that for now

00:58:39Take a look at the contract on the coffee table

00:58:43This isn't my old employment contract

00:58:46Yes, this is a contract appointing you as the housekeeper for the Hastings family

00:58:50You will not be an executive of the corporation yet you are no longer the junior maid you once were

00:58:54You will attend to Mr. Victor and also manage household staff rosters and inventory records within the Hastings household

00:58:59I'm afraid I might not be up to this job

00:59:01To hold real authority, the pay is extremely generous, and the food at the Hastings residence is absolutely excellent

00:59:08Rest assured

00:59:09Not only are three full meals provided

00:59:12The kitchen also prepares late night snacks

00:59:15You won't go hungry even if you have to work overtime

00:59:18Keep your head, Molly

00:59:19Don't let the Hastings family buy you off with a few good meals

00:59:23But it's not just a few meals

00:59:25It's a supply

00:59:26Long-term

00:59:31But it's not just one bowl

00:59:32It's a long-term supply

00:59:34This job has a probation period, but your salary won't be reduced during it

00:59:38If you can't adjust you can leave then

00:59:40The Hastings family won't force you to stay

00:59:42From now on

00:59:44If anyone in the Hastings family uses their status to pressure you

00:59:48Record it by the rules

00:59:49You're giving me a position where I can actually speak up

00:59:53Yes

00:59:56The Hastings family needs someone like you

01:00:00Not because you flatter anyone

01:00:02And not because you come from some powerful background

01:00:05We believe in your ability

01:00:09Then I'll try

01:00:18Actually we've all seen how hard you've worked

01:00:21When you first came to the Hastings house

01:00:23You were careful with every step

01:00:26Afraid to do one thing wrong or say one wrong word

01:00:33But you're different from every other servant here

01:00:38You're neither servile nor arrogant

01:00:41You're practical, clear-headed, principled, and you know where the line is

01:00:45More than that you have a sense of responsibility most people don't

01:00:54A family as large as Hastings has never lad people who simply follow orders

01:00:59What we lack are people who can hold to principles, keep boundaries, and handle things with judgment

01:01:08Many younger members of this family have grown used to throwing their status around

01:01:12Making life hard for the staff and damaging the atmosphere here

01:01:14We've seen it all

01:01:15We just lacked someone who could break that pattern

01:01:18We believe you are that person

01:01:20From now on

01:01:21No matter who it is

01:01:22Even a young master of the family

01:01:24If they abuse their power

01:01:26You can record it truthfully and report it directly

01:01:29We will handle it

01:01:30I used to think I was just a maid

01:01:32Just an ordinary person with no background and no support

01:01:35When unfair things happened all I could do was endure it quietly

01:01:40But after coming to the Hastings house

01:01:42You taught me that no matter someone's status

01:01:44High or low

01:01:45They deserve respect and fair treatment

01:01:48I'm willing to stay and do this job well

01:01:51I won't let you down

01:01:53Don't worry

01:01:54As long as you stay true to yourself and do your duty

01:01:57We won't make things difficult for you

01:01:59The Hastings family will always have your back

01:02:02From now on you don't have to keep giving in

01:02:06So peace and respect don't come from swallowing every insult

01:02:10They're earned by standing on your own

01:02:13This job isn't just a job

01:02:16It's a whole new life

01:02:23In just half a week the whole atmosphere in this house has changed

01:02:26People used to avoid responsibility

01:02:28Now everyone knows their role and does their part

01:02:31That's all thanks to Molly

01:02:33What's rare about her is that even with authority

01:02:35She doesn't use it to bully or control others

01:02:38She stays true to herself and treats every servant fairly

01:02:42I said long ago she could handle this job

01:02:45Mr. Hastings, Mr. Alistair, Mrs. Hastings

01:02:48These are the work records for the past half month

01:02:50Along with feedback after correcting some unreasonable procedures

01:02:59Very well done

01:03:00Molly, your probation ends early

01:03:02From today on you are officially the Hastings family's household manager

01:03:05You'll be fully responsible for all household logistics, large and small

01:03:10Your salary and benefits will be doubled

01:03:15Thank you for your recognition and trust

01:03:20We should be thanking you

01:03:22You helped us understand that status alone can't win people's hearts

01:03:27Only clear rules and sincere treatment can keep a large family running well

01:03:36Julian, you're back

01:03:39Yes, I'm back

01:03:41Julian, please come in. Welcome home

01:03:49Mr. Hastings, Mr. Alistair, Mrs. Hastings, Julian is back

01:03:55Dad

01:03:57Mom, Grandpa, I'm home

01:04:15Good

01:04:17It's good that you're home

01:04:20The real heir is back

01:04:21And the Hastings family wasn't destroyed by the fake heir Elias like in the original story

01:04:27Now this family can live happily together again

01:04:31Maybe this is the best ending

01:04:33I used to think rich families were always cold and divided

01:04:37With status, bloodline, and class standing like walls no one could cross

01:04:43But after my time with the Hastings family

01:04:46I slowly understood that great families aren't only filled with arrogance backed by status

01:04:53They can also have kind hearts and treat people with sincerity

01:05:00They can also have kind hearts and treat people with sincerity
