00:00:00I've seduced many sailors in my day.
00:00:04One had strong swimmers.
00:00:06But I'm immortal.
00:00:07If I marry your daughter, she'll age. I won't.
00:00:10It could never last.
00:00:12Five years.
00:00:14Look after her for five years.
00:00:17Help her find success.
00:00:19On your fifth anniversary, the spell will break.
00:00:22You can surf again.
00:00:24And if you love her, reveal your true identity.
00:00:31Okay.
00:00:32Hey, so this might be weird, but your daughter doesn't look like you, does she?
00:00:39You tell me.
00:01:06I can't believe she's marrying some sponge or simp.
00:01:11I give it six months.
00:01:22We look so cute.
00:01:24I do wish you had listened to me and not worn that shirt, though.
00:01:29Someone just commented, sponger in a stupid shirt.
00:01:33I thought you didn't care that I don't surf.
00:01:35I don't.
00:01:36I don't.
00:01:38Spoiler alert.
00:01:39She did care.
00:01:41And that wasn't her only complaint about me.
00:01:43But I made a vow to stay with her for five years.
00:01:46And I was determined to keep that vow, no matter how hard it was.
00:01:49And it was very hard.
00:01:51Kai became one of the top female surfers on Earth.
00:01:53And I've been her loyal supporter.
00:01:58In three days, I get my koa board back and I can surf again.
00:02:02But until then, my mission is to give Kai everything she wants.
00:02:07She loves coconut water.
00:02:09Today, it'll be the freshest in the world.
00:02:11Morning, sunshine.
00:02:12Don't sunshine me.
00:02:14You tracked sand all over the kitchen.
00:02:16That beach life, though, right?
00:02:18What were you even doing out there so early?
00:02:20Getting stoned?
00:02:22Something like that.
00:02:23Unbelievable.
00:02:24I need you on point today.
00:02:26I heard Angela Lee, the CEO of QuickMapple, might arrive early for the expo.
00:02:30Don't worry, babe.
00:02:31I got you.
00:02:33This is not the brand I like.
00:02:35It's not any brand.
00:02:36It's fresh.
00:02:38How hard is it to get the right brand?
00:02:40Did you forget because you were high?
00:02:43I'll get the kind you like next time.
00:02:45We were happy once.
00:02:49But the honeymoon is over.
00:03:00Oh my god, that's her.
00:03:01Angela Lee, the single most important person in the world of surfing.
00:03:06No, that's the most important person in the world of surfing.
00:03:09That old guy?
00:03:10Angela's father, Mickey Lee.
00:03:11He's the real power.
00:03:13Started QuickMapple as a surf shack in Malibu and grew it into the most important surf brand on earth.
00:03:16Oh no.
00:03:21Oh.
00:03:22I gotta go.
00:03:25No!
00:03:27Dad, no!
00:03:40He's here!
00:03:44Pretty gnarly moves before the shark interrupted.
00:03:47Not as good as I used to be, but I can still catch a wave.
00:03:51Thank you for saving my life.
00:04:02You're the god of the island.
00:04:04Please, no one can know my identity.
00:04:07Whatever you say, but how can I ever repay you?
00:04:10Actually, there is a solid you could do me in return.
00:04:14Anything.
00:04:14My wife, Kaikua, is one of the best surfers in the world, and her sponsor just went bankrupt.
00:04:21Angela!
00:04:26Your leg!
00:04:27It's completely healed!
00:04:30Did you do this?
00:04:31I wish I had healing powers.
00:04:33I told you I went after him, but the god of the island rescued your dad.
00:04:38He must have put a healing spell on his leg or something.
00:04:41Well, thank you for helping.
00:04:43He needs our help, too.
00:04:45His wife, Kaikua, needs a sponsor.
00:04:47Wife?
00:04:48Don't worry.
00:04:49She's one hell of a surfer.
00:04:53Hey, Kai.
00:04:55Remember Chad from high school?
00:04:57Oh, how could she forget?
00:04:58If he hadn't dumped her to move to LA and become an Olympic gold medal surfer,
00:05:02she wouldn't have settled for that burnout sponger duke.
00:05:06Chad was my past.
00:05:07Yeah, the one that got away.
00:05:09He was so high.
00:05:11And strong.
00:05:13God, I bet he could pick you up and flip you around.
00:05:17You guys!
00:05:18If Chad came back today and asked you to take him back, what would you say?
00:05:24Well, I am married, and I haven't seen Chad since high school.
00:05:27Hey, ladies.
00:05:29Kai, we should get going.
00:05:31I'm not ready to go yet.
00:05:32Did you forget?
00:05:33We have dinner reservations for our anniversary.
00:05:36The expo is the same day as our anniversary, so I made the reservation for today.
00:05:41I can't.
00:05:42Angela still hasn't seen me surf.
00:05:45Don't worry about that.
00:05:47You're going to get the quick maple sponsorship.
00:05:49What would you know about it?
00:05:50No way, bro.
00:05:51Is it really him?
00:05:53I'd like to see what's under those board shorts.
00:05:57Chad?
00:05:57Hey, boo.
00:05:59I'm in town for the expo.
00:06:00We knew he'd be here.
00:06:02But we didn't want to spoil the surprise.
00:06:06Chad, can you sign my board?
00:06:08Are you going to win gold at home in 2028, Chad?
00:06:10Duh.
00:06:11Of course I am.
00:06:12He's even hotter in person.
00:06:14How could you let a guy like that get away?
00:06:15So are we going to catch some waves or what, boo?
00:06:17I really think Angela should see me surf.
00:06:20And Chad is already sponsored by them, so it would help to see us together.
00:06:23For branding.
00:06:24You don't mind, right?
00:06:25No worries.
00:06:27We'll celebrate our anniversary later.
00:06:34So which one is your wife?
00:06:36The one on the board with Chad?
00:06:37Interesting.
00:06:38She's good.
00:06:39Really good.
00:06:40She's the best.
00:06:41You know, quick maple sponsors me.
00:06:42Yeah?
00:06:43I can help you get a sponsorship, too.
00:06:45Thank you, Chad.
00:06:46But I can handle it.
00:06:48I'm a big girl.
00:06:49I know exactly what kind of girl you are.
00:06:51I know every single part of you and would love to get reacquainted.
00:06:55I just want to help, since your husband obviously can't.
00:06:58Oh, hey, dude.
00:06:59You must be Duke, the sponger who waxes Kai's board.
00:07:04I'm Kai's husband.
00:07:06Want to go grab Kai's board for us?
00:07:12Five years.
00:07:13For five years, I protected and loved you.
00:07:16But now I'm starting to see you never really loved me back.
00:07:21I caught your favorite fish myself.
00:07:24And you've been out all day with Chad.
00:07:26You're cold.
00:07:27I can feel the goosebumps on your skin.
00:07:29Hey, don't sweat quick, maple.
00:07:30I'm tight with Angela.
00:07:32I got your back like a bikini string.
00:07:34Thanks so much, Chad.
00:07:35It's the least I can do.
00:07:37You know, I never forgot you.
00:07:38I'm married.
00:07:39You're not going to be this hot forever, Kai.
00:07:42Don't you want a real man who knows what to do with a girl like you?
00:07:45Duke's actually really sweet.
00:07:47Sweet?
00:07:48Yeah.
00:07:49He's a total simp.
00:07:50Dump him.
00:07:51Or don't.
00:07:53I don't mind being Mr. Steel, your girl.
00:07:55There's an extra board here.
00:07:57It's a gift for you.
00:08:00A fish.
00:08:02This bad boy will unlock all the speed in that tight little bod.
00:08:05Duke designed my board himself.
00:08:08You think that sponger knows more about surfboards than me?
00:08:11Plus, this is a quick maple board.
00:08:13That's what Angela wants to see you on.
00:08:16Good point.
00:08:19See you on the beach, boo.
00:08:21Catch any big ones?
00:08:22It was okay.
00:08:23Lots of close outs today.
00:08:24I made dinner.
00:08:25For our anniversary.
00:08:27Our patio's got a better view than any restaurant anyway.
00:08:29Sorry, I ate already.
00:08:32New board?
00:08:32Angela should see me on a quick maple board.
00:08:35Quick maple should build a board for you.
00:08:36Like I did.
00:08:38This fish can't make the drop on a barrel.
00:08:39It'll pearl the second you go vertical.
00:08:41Babe, no offense, but Chad knows surfing.
00:08:44He won gold.
00:08:44You don't even surf.
00:08:46I know the island's waves.
00:08:48I'll think about it.
00:08:49So you're not hungry, but you've been surfing all day.
00:08:51Are you sore?
00:08:52Do you want a massage?
00:08:53I am sore.
00:08:55I'm going to go in the hot tub.
00:08:56Want some company?
00:08:57No thanks.
00:08:58I'm not in the mood.
00:08:59Too sore.
00:09:02She said she wasn't in the mood, but she really meant she wasn't in the mood for me.
00:09:07You forgot your towel.
00:09:08Didn't want you to get cold walking back to the house.
00:09:11Aren't you going to say anything?
00:09:13What do you want me to say?
00:09:14Do you even care?
00:09:16Or are you too stoned and lazy to even give a shit?
00:09:18I care.
00:09:20If you paid attention, you'd know how much.
00:09:22Why did you never learn to surf?
00:09:28I was the best surfer in the world.
00:09:31But your mom cursed me.
00:09:34What does that have to do with anything?
00:09:36Because it's weird.
00:09:38You're like obsessed with surfers.
00:09:40You make custom surfboards.
00:09:43You wear that stupid surfboard necklace.
00:09:46But you can't even surf.
00:09:50That's probably why you want to stay in this dead marriage.
00:09:52So you can leech off me.
00:09:55That's why you didn't even react to me screwing that jet and calling it another man's name.
00:09:59Because you don't actually care about anything except using me to get closer to the glory you'll never have.
00:10:07You want me out of your life?
00:10:11Give it a few more days.
00:10:13Nah, bro.
00:10:13You're caking it on.
00:10:15You're going to glue her feet to the board.
00:10:17That's right for cold water like Malibu.
00:10:19On a warm break like ours, soft thin wax will be greased by noon.
00:10:22This sponger's lecturing a gold metal surfer on wax?
00:10:25Not on wax.
00:10:26On the water I live on.
00:10:28I hoped I'd find you here.
00:10:30She looked pretty good with you yesterday, Chad.
00:10:32Let's see how she looks on her own.
00:10:34Angela!
00:10:34That bikini!
00:10:35Still being worn by your boss.
00:10:40There she goes.
00:10:42I told her that fish can't make the drop on a barrel.
00:10:45It's purling.
00:10:54See what your garbage waxing did, sponger?
00:10:57It wasn't the wax.
00:10:58It was your board.
00:11:01So it's my fault?
00:11:02I was trying to unlock her power.
00:11:04You've been holding her back.
00:11:06Up.
00:11:08What?
00:11:09I think what you meant to say was, you've been holding her up.
00:11:14You're a pro surfer, props on that.
00:11:16But I know my island.
00:11:17I know my break.
00:11:20And I know how to kick your ass.
00:11:23You think so?
00:11:24Let's go then.
00:11:34Chad's a professional athlete.
00:11:35You're a professional stoner.
00:11:36You don't want to fight him.
00:11:41Is that the kind of guy you are?
00:11:42Need to be rescued by your girl?
00:11:45I don't know what happened out there.
00:11:47I swear I'll do better in the expo tomorrow.
00:11:48Don't sweat it.
00:11:49The sponsorship's yours.
00:11:50You looked amazing.
00:11:52But I just had an epic wipeout.
00:11:53It's not just about your surfing.
00:11:55You're hot.
00:11:56And you've got a great man behind you.
00:12:01Looking forward to having you both represent Quick Mapple at the expo tomorrow.
00:12:04Fix the wax on my new board.
00:12:07She thinks Chad is the great man behind her.
00:12:10One more day and she can have him.
00:12:15I can't believe she gave me the sponsorship, right?
00:12:19After I wiped out.
00:12:21And it's all thanks to you.
00:12:24I'd do anything for you.
00:12:26Why don't you come up to my room and rinse off in the shower?
00:12:29You can borrow a t-shirt too if you want.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:32I am really sticky, actually.
00:12:37What are you doing?
00:12:41Stop denying yourself.
00:12:43We both know you want this.
00:12:46Put your clothes on, Chad.
00:12:48You first.
00:12:52Ride this.
00:12:57How are you so strong?
00:13:00Does it make you feel strong?
00:13:02Taking another man's sloppy seconds?
00:13:05That's beta behavior.
00:13:07I thought you were a Chad.
00:13:09What are you doing to him?
00:13:12Enough!
00:13:14What is wrong with you?
00:13:16Me?
00:13:17He was assaulting my wife.
00:13:19This is a misunderstanding.
00:13:20Really?
00:13:21You were crying for help.
00:13:23He spilled a drink on me.
00:13:24I was just cleaning up.
00:13:25And how did he end up naked?
00:13:27He was just changing.
00:13:28Timing, bro.
00:13:29It's everything.
00:13:30In surfing and in love.
00:13:31Can you please just take me home?
00:13:33You can stay here if you want, boo.
00:13:35We all need to just chill out before the expo tomorrow.
00:13:37I shouldn't have slapped you.
00:13:38You were being crazy, though.
00:13:40I thought you were going to kill him.
00:13:43Do you have anything to say?
00:13:45Why were you in his hotel room?
00:13:49I told you.
00:13:49He spilled a drink.
00:13:50I should have been there.
00:13:53But instead, you made me...
00:13:54If you wanted to come, you should have come.
00:13:56You are always doing this.
00:13:58You act like a total simp and then bitch and complain when I don't tell you what to do.
00:14:01Act like a man for once.
00:14:03You used to like that I was kind and giving.
00:14:05No.
00:14:07I like the way you fucked me that first time.
00:14:09I was totally digmatized and I made the biggest mistake of my life.
00:14:13That's really how you feel about our marriage?
00:14:15You're a sweet guy, Duke.
00:14:17But I need a strong man behind me.
00:14:19Not a slacker.
00:14:22If you cared to look closer, you'd see that the truth is...
00:14:26You'd never be this successful without me.
00:14:28Get real, Duke.
00:14:29I could make my own meals and wax my own board.
00:14:33I only let you do it because you're so pathetic.
00:14:37I feel bad for you.
00:14:38You think I'm just a glorified servant?
00:14:40Like you said, a leech.
00:14:43I need a real man.
00:14:45Not some stoner, beta, board waxing sponger.
00:14:49All the things you do for me just make you seem weak.
00:14:52How am I supposed to be attracted to you?
00:14:59Then let's get a divorce.
00:15:03You want to divorce me?
00:15:05If you're not attracted to me anymore, then what's left here?
00:15:08What's left is me.
00:15:09I do everything.
00:15:11I built my career as a surfer from scratch.
00:15:13Is that really what you think?
00:15:14Yes!
00:15:15You don't even surf!
00:15:16I made custom boards for you.
00:15:18Which I wrote out of obligation, even though they probably only held me back.
00:15:23Every photo shoot.
00:15:25Holding me down is more like it.
00:15:26I was dragging your dead weight around.
00:15:28As a matter of fact, I should be asking you for a divorce.
00:15:31Okay.
00:15:32That's all you have to say?
00:15:33It's been five years since the sea hag cursed me.
00:15:37Five years since I've been able to surf.
00:15:39And I can leave Kai if I choose.
00:15:41When we got married, I wanted to give her everything.
00:15:44We love you, Kai!
00:15:45She's using the board I made her.
00:15:47Maybe she finally sees that I've always been there for her.
00:15:50Let's give another round of applause.
00:15:52Beautiful surfing.
00:15:53But you know what I like more than beauty?
00:15:54The impossible.
00:15:55Over a hundred feet.
00:15:57No one except the mighty and mysterious god of the island has ever ridden it.
00:16:02And the god of the island hasn't been seen on a surfboard in five years.
00:16:06No mortal has ridden those waves and lived.
00:16:08Expo participants only.
00:16:09He's my husband.
00:16:11It's fine.
00:16:11I don't need to go on the beach.
00:16:12Oh my god!
00:16:13You cannot be serious!
00:16:14How dare you!
00:16:15Are you seriously that pathetic and jealous?
00:16:18That you're trying to ruin her shot at the biggest moment of her career?
00:16:22What are you even doing here anyway?
00:16:23Yeah!
00:16:24Security!
00:16:24Can we get this stoner out of here, please?
00:16:26I'm just doing what I've always done.
00:16:28Protecting you.
00:16:29I know you're bored.
00:16:30I know you're surfing better than anyone.
00:16:32You can't handle those waves.
00:16:40I knew she could do it!
00:16:42She did.
00:16:46She really is incredible.
00:16:48Thank her.
00:16:50Thank her.
00:17:01Where is she?
00:17:14No way, bro.
00:17:17It's him.
00:17:18The god of the island!
00:17:25That's right.
00:17:26It's the god of the island.
00:17:42The god of the island is protecting you.
00:17:55Just ride the wave.
00:18:09I think a crab got me!
00:18:11Kai, help me!
00:18:17Duke.
00:18:18You're tough.
00:18:20Chad's a professional surfer.
00:18:21A foot injury would ruin his whole life.
00:18:26What is wrong with you?
00:18:28Can't you see your husband is seriously hurt?
00:18:31Angela, I thought...
00:18:33Since Chad is one of your sponsored athletes,
00:18:35his injury would be the priority.
00:18:36And I thought since Duke is your husband,
00:18:38you would at least show an ounce of compassion for him?
00:18:40You don't understand.
00:18:42Duke has always been tough.
00:18:43He's a sponger.
00:18:44You don't need your feet to lay down on a boogie board.
00:18:47You clearly don't understand who you're dealing with here.
00:18:50You are both an embarrassment to the quick maple brand.
00:18:52This is not the kind of example I want my athletes to set.
00:18:59Mom, it really hurts!
00:19:02Go with him.
00:19:23I'll help him protect everything he has,
00:19:25and together we'll gain even more.
00:19:27I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:19:41Richard, Clara, Julian.
00:19:43From now on, Thomas is your father.
00:19:48I'll love all of you like my own.
00:19:50Then can I come to your sawmill?
00:19:52They say you've got several.
00:19:53When I grow up, will I run all of them?
00:19:55Of course.
00:19:56As long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you the business.
00:19:58I want the prettiest carriage,
00:20:00a new dress every season,
00:20:01and the whole town at my bowl.
00:20:03Of course.
00:20:04I'll give you all the very best.
00:20:07So the Timberland, the estate, all the money,
00:20:11that's all going to be mine one day too?
00:20:18They grew up without a father.
00:20:21Now they suddenly have a papa who loves them.
00:20:23They got a little carried away.
00:20:26Yes, mother.
00:20:27We're just so happy.
00:20:30Thomas, thank you for giving the children a real home.
00:20:33From now on, my children are yours too,
00:20:35and they'll be good to you, I know it.
00:20:37And thank you for giving me the finest children
00:20:40and the finest wife in the world.
00:20:49Hey, kid, it's getting dark.
00:20:51What are you doing out here?
00:20:53Leave me alone.
00:20:54I've still got a deal to finish up.
00:20:56A deal?
00:21:01Thomas, my business partner.
00:21:06Wherever you are, I'll find you.
00:21:19You've stalled us three months already.
00:21:22Pay us today.
00:21:23I can't even buy flour for my family.
00:21:29Stay calm, everyone.
00:21:30Mr. Bennett's going through the books.
00:21:32He'll make this right.
00:21:33Pay us, pay us, pay us, pay us, pay us.
00:21:39Sir, I just got word from the doctor.
00:21:41Your mother's been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
00:21:43She needs treatment right away.
00:21:45It'll cost at least $400,000.
00:21:47What?
00:21:57Send the treatment money first.
00:21:59There's only a few thousand dollars left in the company accounts.
00:22:03Impossible.
00:22:03There were $8 million last month.
00:22:05And it's not just the cash.
00:22:07The lumber receipts we kept at Victor's Dock Warehouse are gone too.
00:22:10Without them, we can't even claim that timber.
00:22:14Who has access to that money?
00:22:16Besides you and your wife?
00:22:18Only Richard, Clara, and Julian.
00:22:22They're my family.
00:22:24They'll help me get to the truth.
00:22:38Richard.
00:22:39You kids are all in town?
00:22:41Good timing.
00:22:42There's serious trouble at the company.
00:22:43No.
00:22:45Sign the sawmill and the timberland over to us.
00:22:49And the trouble outside takes care of itself.
00:22:52What?
00:22:53You're old and you're soft.
00:22:55A worker cries poor, you give him a raises.
00:22:57A dealer stiffs you, you give him more time.
00:23:00You will ruin Bennett timber.
00:23:02You're at that mill all day.
00:23:04You always stink of sawdust and machine oil.
00:23:07Everyone at the club laughs at us for having a crude country yunker for a father.
00:23:13Clara.
00:23:14Father, you're leaving us the company sooner or later anyway.
00:23:17Step aside now.
00:23:18Have a nice quiet retirement.
00:23:20Why work yourself to the bone?
00:23:23So you took all the company's money and receipts?
00:23:27You're right.
00:23:28I gave you the best house.
00:23:30Sent you to the best schools.
00:23:32I loved you like my own.
00:23:34Your mother's in the city on business.
00:23:37If she knew you were treating me like this, it would break her heart.
00:23:47Break her heart?
00:23:51Over you?
00:23:54Think it over.
00:23:55Those workers outside are losing their patience.
00:24:11My God.
00:24:13They're going to wreck the saw table.
00:24:17They're going to wreck the saw.
00:24:18They're going to wreck the saw.
00:24:22They're going to wreck the saw.
00:24:25They're going to wreck the saw.
00:24:29God almighty, what are you doing?
00:24:31That table goes.
00:24:33The whole mill is finished.
00:24:34No pay.
00:24:35No mill.
00:24:35We'll tear it down.
00:24:36My family's had no bread for two days.
00:24:38No one cares if we live or die.
00:24:47Stop.
00:24:50Yes, stop.
00:24:53Well, look who's here.
00:24:55Great philanthropist Thomas Bennett.
00:24:58Tired of your fancy cigars?
00:25:00Stop.
00:25:02That saw is our only chance to save the mill.
00:25:06To hell with your mill.
00:25:08My family's got nothing to eat.
00:25:10What about us?
00:25:12You black-hearted crook.
00:25:13If you love that table so much, climb up and go down with it.
00:25:17Great game.
00:25:18Wish.
00:25:18Morning.
00:25:19Wish.
00:25:20Mission's up.
00:25:20Go set twist down.
00:25:22Come on.
00:25:23Come on.
00:25:26Come on.
00:25:27Come on.
00:25:27Come on.
00:25:28Come on.
00:25:29Come on.
00:25:29Come on.
00:25:33Mr. Bennett, my God.
00:25:35Get off of them.
00:25:38Pull the main switch now.
00:25:49You almost died.
00:25:51I'd give my life to save this mill.
00:25:54Hundreds of families depend on it.
00:25:57We don't want to do this, Mr. Bennett,
00:25:58but it's been three months.
00:26:00My landlord's at my door every day,
00:26:02asking for rent money.
00:26:04Since my husband died in the woods,
00:26:06my paycheck's the only thing keeping my kids alive.
00:26:11Now my little girl's sick,
00:26:13and I can't even afford a doctor.
00:26:15I haven't been able to afford a single sack of coal for three months.
00:26:21My mother has to sleep under all her old rags for warmth.
00:26:26You live in a big house and own a fancy carriage.
00:26:29Of course you'd have no idea how we're scraping by.
00:26:32We just want our wages.
00:26:34Yes.
00:26:34Give us our money.
00:26:36Yes.
00:26:41You're right.
00:26:42You did the work, but you didn't get paid.
00:26:45It's my fault, no matter what.
00:26:48I know how much these paychecks matter.
00:26:51They put bread on your table,
00:26:53pay for your children's doctors,
00:26:54and buy the firewood that gets your parents through winter.
00:26:57They're how your families survive.
00:26:59Then why haven't you paid us?
00:27:05The company's funds were transferred.
00:27:07All the lumber receipts are gone.
00:27:09There isn't a cent left in the accounts.
00:27:12Bennett Timber owes you all,
00:27:14and I won't run from this debt.
00:27:17I won't let you work for nothing.
00:27:20I'll sell my house,
00:27:21my carriage,
00:27:22and all my valuables,
00:27:24even my family's timberland,
00:27:26and I will put every last cent in your hands.
00:27:29We're supposed to believe that?
00:27:31I'm not asking you to trust me right now.
00:27:34Please,
00:27:34just give me one more day.
00:27:43Mr. Bennett!
00:27:45I failed you.
00:27:47So now,
00:27:48I'm begging you.
00:27:49One day.
00:27:50By the end of tomorrow,
00:27:51I'll make this right.
00:27:57We won our wages!
00:27:58Your apologies won't put bread on our tables!
00:28:01I'm already two months behind on rent.
00:28:03I can't wait another day!
00:28:04Pay us now!
00:28:06Pay us now!
00:28:07Yeah!
00:28:11Henry,
00:28:12you've been at this mill for 15 years.
00:28:14When the blade took your hand two winters ago,
00:28:16I made you a promise.
00:28:17As long as Bennett Timber stands,
00:28:19your family will never go hungry.
00:28:21Mary,
00:28:23you lost your husband to an accident in the woods.
00:28:25Since then,
00:28:26you've raised three children on your own
00:28:28and never missed a single day of work.
00:28:30Last winter,
00:28:31when I heard your youngest had no shoes,
00:28:33I bought two pairs for each of your children.
00:28:37And George,
00:28:38Peter,
00:28:39Andrew,
00:28:40I remember every last thing you gave to this mill.
00:28:44You never failed this company.
00:28:46It is I,
00:28:47Thomas Bennett,
00:28:48who's failed you.
00:28:49I'm not asking for forgiveness.
00:28:51Just one day,
00:28:53that's all.
00:28:54I'll sell my house,
00:28:55my carriage,
00:28:56all my valuables,
00:28:57and I'll pay your wages first thing.
00:28:59I've worked for Mr. Bennett for 15 years.
00:29:02He's never shorted me a single demi.
00:29:06After my husband's accident,
00:29:08he kept paying his wages for six months.
00:29:11And during last year's blizzard,
00:29:12he gave us firewood to keep our family warm.
00:29:15But what if we give him another day and he runs?
00:29:18I'll trust him one more time.
00:29:19So will I.
00:29:24Everyone go home for now.
00:29:26We'll meet back here this time tomorrow and hear Mr. Bennett out.
00:29:32All of you.
00:29:41You're really selling the house and the carriage?
00:29:44Where will you and Mrs. Bennett live?
00:29:46If the workers don't get paid today,
00:29:48their children could go hungry tonight.
00:29:50I have to save them first.
00:29:59Get this to my wife in the city right away.
00:30:01Tell her to sell the house,
00:30:02the carriage,
00:30:03and every piece of jewelry and art we own.
00:30:06All of it?
00:30:07All of it.
00:30:08I've explained everything in the letter.
00:30:15President Walker,
00:30:16this is the man you've been looking for.
00:30:26Thomas Bennett.
00:30:28That's him.
00:30:29Fifteen years,
00:30:30and I've finally found you,
00:30:32my long-lost partner.
00:30:34Bring the car around.
00:30:36Tell our lawyers,
00:30:37bank rep,
00:30:37and guards.
00:30:38We'll leave for Bennett Timber in ten minutes.
00:30:40But you're meeting with the chairman
00:30:42of the State Railroad Commission at three yet.
00:30:44He can reschedule.
00:30:53I'll see you soon,
00:30:54my business partner.
00:30:59All eight million from Bennett Timber's accounts
00:31:01has been transferred,
00:31:02and the lumber receipts are in our names now.
00:31:05Thomas won't be able to pull anything out.
00:31:07Didn't think he'd hand you
00:31:08the company's most important account so fast.
00:31:10In a matter of days,
00:31:11you've taken his life's work.
00:31:13What a fool.
00:31:14All it took was calling him Dad,
00:31:16and suddenly he'd do anything for me.
00:31:18He still thinks Mother's gonna bail him out.
00:31:21He's probably sitting in that shabby little office right now,
00:31:24waiting for the whole family to come save him.
00:31:28He always said trusting family
00:31:30is the foundation of good business.
00:31:32Turns out his trust was worth a cool eight million.
00:31:35That's his fatal flaw.
00:31:36He thinks everyone's as saintly as he is.
00:31:39Well, time for St. Thomas to pay.
00:31:41Still, Bennett Timber's just an empty shell now.
00:31:44We've got the money and the timber.
00:31:45Why do we even want those old sawmills?
00:31:47Because all you took was the cash.
00:31:49The real value is Bennett Timber's
00:31:51decades of hard-earned reputation,
00:31:53its vast timberland,
00:31:54and its long-term port contracts.
00:31:57Meaning,
00:31:58the Walker Group is hunting for a long-term lumber supplier
00:32:01and a port partner.
00:32:02Whoever holds Bennett Timber
00:32:04gets a seat at Walker's table.
00:32:05The Walker Group?
00:32:07That name's always in the headlines.
00:32:09But President Walker's never shown his face in public.
00:32:12They say he's a young, handsome gentleman.
00:32:14Every banker and railroad baron in the city
00:32:16is desperate to win his favor.
00:32:17If I use Bennett Timber to get close to him,
00:32:20the entire city elite will have to answer to me.
00:32:38Mr. Walker, welcome to our city.
00:32:41Mr. Walker, your improved derricks brought
00:32:43three dead oil fields back to life.
00:32:46Even the banks back east want to invest now.
00:32:48Partner with us,
00:32:49and we'll give your oil and equipment
00:32:50top priority on the rails.
00:33:03First of all,
00:33:04I'm no mister.
00:33:06Second,
00:33:07I'm not here to talk business.
00:33:09I came here to find someone.
00:33:16Mother, the doctor has told me everything.
00:33:18I know my body.
00:33:21I'm worried about you.
00:33:22It's only been a few days,
00:33:24and you've gone so much grayer.
00:33:27Trouble at the company?
00:33:28Or those three children?
00:33:31The company's accounts have been drained.
00:33:33The lumber receipts are all gone.
00:33:35The workers are demanding pay outside the mill,
00:33:37and I can't even give them what they're owed.
00:33:40Then, don't worry about me.
00:33:42Get through the crisis in front of you first.
00:33:45Mother, it's stomach cancer.
00:33:46Mother, the doctor says you need surgery as soon as possible.
00:33:49I'm so sorry.
00:33:50I'm your son,
00:33:51and I can't even afford the treatment you need.
00:33:55Mother, I've failed you.
00:33:58Nonsense.
00:34:00Your workers have wives, children, aging parents.
00:34:04Their families rely on their paychecks.
00:34:07Go do what you have to do.
00:34:10I've already asked Grace to sell the house,
00:34:12the carriage, and the art in the city.
00:34:14She'll take care of it.
00:34:16I know she will.
00:34:17Thomas,
00:34:19I've never trusted Grace.
00:34:21She'd been married three times before she met you,
00:34:24each husband richer than the last.
00:34:27Now that your fortune is gone,
00:34:29what makes you think she'll stay?
00:34:31Mr. Bennett,
00:34:32an urgent letter has just arrived from Mrs. Bennett.
00:34:35Grace has raised the money.
00:34:39Only $200,000?
00:34:41$200,000?
00:34:42Dearest Thomas,
00:34:43the buyers learned we're desperate for cash,
00:34:45so they shorted us.
00:34:47I had to take a $200,000 deposit for now,
00:34:51so the workers wouldn't be kept waiting.
00:34:53The check is enclosed.
00:34:56I'll keep working on the rest.
00:35:00Our house,
00:35:01the carriage,
00:35:02the art collections,
00:35:04they're worth at least $8 million.
00:35:06And she only got $200,000?
00:35:09Mr. Bennett,
00:35:10perhaps you should review the accounts in the city yourself,
00:35:12leaving everything to your wife.
00:35:14Grace would never betray me.
00:35:18She took that price
00:35:19because she knew the workers couldn't wait.
00:35:22She raised $200,000 in one day.
00:35:25She did everything she could.
00:35:27But we're still $5 million short.
00:35:38I have $200,000 I've saved over the years.
00:35:41Take it.
00:35:46No.
00:35:47You need that money for your surgery.
00:35:49I can't take it.
00:35:50You're my son.
00:35:51How could I stand by when you're in trouble?
00:35:54But this money would save your life.
00:35:56If those workers don't get paid,
00:35:57their families can't get by.
00:35:59Take it.
00:36:00Put food on their tables first.
00:36:02Even with Grace's $200,000 in yours,
00:36:04the workers' rages are still more than $4 million short.
00:36:07Then find another way.
00:36:09You've been in business your whole life
00:36:10and helped so many people,
00:36:11someone will lend you a hand.
00:36:13But it's $4 million.
00:36:16Now the company's in trouble.
00:36:17No bank will lend us that kind of money.
00:36:21There's one person I can think of.
00:36:23Who?
00:36:25Victor Crane.
00:36:27We came to America together
00:36:28and now he controls the city's dock,
00:36:30warehouses, and freight business.
00:36:33$4 million should be well within his reach.
00:36:40Mr. Crane,
00:36:41Mr. Thomas Bennett would like to see you.
00:36:43Send him in.
00:36:43He's an old friend.
00:36:45I can't keep him waiting.
00:36:51Well, look who it is.
00:36:52The great Thomas Bennett himself.
00:36:57What brings you to my little company today?
00:37:04Victor, it's been a long time.
00:37:06It has.
00:37:07Back then, you were busy running your woodlands and sawmills,
00:37:11rubbing elbows with bankers and big merchants.
00:37:13Of course, you wouldn't have time for an old friend
00:37:15hauling freight and minding warehouses.
00:37:18I never forgot you.
00:37:19Well then, I'm honored.
00:37:21Come, set that cane aside
00:37:22and let your old friend help you.
00:37:25Oh dear, Thomas.
00:37:27I didn't mean to.
00:37:30I'm, I'm fine.
00:37:31I had no idea.
00:37:33You can't even stand on your own now?
00:37:38I got hurt in an accident at the mill a few years back.
00:37:41Oh, what a shame.
00:37:49Victor, could you give me a hand?
00:37:53Oh, then just say what you came to say on all fours.
00:37:56Stop beating around the Bosch.
00:37:58I don't have time for chit chat.
00:38:10Victor, I'd like to borrow four million dollars.
00:38:12My workers are still waiting on their wages.
00:38:14I promise I'll pay it back in a month.
00:38:16Principle and interest.
00:38:18Four million?
00:38:20That's pocket change to me.
00:38:22You'll lend it to me?
00:38:25I can.
00:38:28But only if you crawl over here and beg on your knees.
00:38:40Victor, you're joking, right?
00:38:42I'll pay you back the four million within a month.
00:38:44Whatever interest you name, we came to America together.
00:38:47We've known each other for years.
00:38:50I really am in trouble, Victor, and I'm hoping you can help me.
00:38:53Help you.
00:38:57Thomas, do you think you're still that big shot lumber baron that your word is law?
00:39:01I never thought that.
00:39:04We both came here with nothing.
00:39:06You made your fortune a few years before I did, and suddenly you were lecturing me, telling me how to
00:39:11live as if you always knew better.
00:39:13I never looked down on you.
00:39:15Oh, really?
00:39:16Did you forget the first time I came to you for money?
00:39:26Bring us what you owe in three days.
00:39:28If you set foot inside again, we'll break your legs.
00:39:44Thomas, please, lend me 500.
00:39:47I'll go back in there and win it all back.
00:39:52Here's 50.
00:39:53Enough for three days' food and lodging.
00:39:55I'm sorry, my friend, but I won't stand by and watch you throw your life away.
00:40:06Thomas, the party's about to start.
00:40:12Remember?
00:40:13You shoved $50 at me like I was some beggar.
00:40:15I really wanted to help.
00:40:17If it happened again, I'd do the same thing.
00:40:19Exactly what I hate about you!
00:40:20You're always right, always noble.
00:40:22St. Thomas!
00:40:23You had the mills, the name, and everyone's respect.
00:40:26Even the woman I wanted, she married you.
00:40:29The past has nothing to do with what I'm asking for today.
00:40:31Oh, it has everything to do with this.
00:40:33I begged you once.
00:40:35Today, at last, it's your turn to beg me.
00:40:39If you don't,
00:40:41your workers won't get paid.
00:40:43Tonight, their families will go hungry.
00:40:45By winter, their children will have no shoes,
00:40:48and their parents will freeze to death.
00:40:51You keep calling them your responsibility.
00:40:53So, prove it.
00:40:56Get on your knees.
00:40:57That's all it takes to save them.
00:40:59Or is that pride of yours worth more than their lives?
00:41:04If I kneel,
00:41:05you'll lend me the four million?
00:41:23Wait!
00:41:25Grace!
00:41:28Victor, is this how you treat an old friend?
00:41:31Have you forgotten how he helped you?
00:41:50Whatever he owes, I'll cover it this time.
00:41:53Walk away from the tables, Victor.
00:41:56Stop gambling your life away.
00:42:02Mr. Bennett, you've paid his bail in full.
00:42:04But next time we catch him smuggling,
00:42:05no one can save him.
00:42:11Victor!
00:42:12You can make good money running a warehouse or freight.
00:42:14Why in God's name are you smuggling?
00:42:15Oh, save it!
00:42:16I'm out of cash.
00:42:16If I don't smuggle, the company goes under tomorrow.
00:42:18A businessman lives and dies by his reputation.
00:42:21Keep breaking the law,
00:42:21and no one will ever do business with you again.
00:42:24Stop.
00:42:28I'm finished.
00:42:29I can't pay what I owe.
00:42:31They'll lock me up.
00:42:35Draw money from my account.
00:42:37Help him save the warehouse.
00:42:39Yes, sir.
00:42:44Your old friend bailed you out
00:42:49and put up the money to save your warehouse.
00:42:52Now you hate him because he saw you at your lowest?
00:42:55Grace, that's right.
00:42:58So you waited 15 years
00:43:00for him to get old and crippled
00:43:03so you can watch him lose everything he built?
00:43:07That's right.
00:43:08And you dangle those workers' livelihoods
00:43:10over the man who saved you twice
00:43:12to force him to crawl at your feet?
00:43:17Exactly.
00:43:18I can hardly wait to see it.
00:43:20Victor, you really are an ungrateful, wicked, hopeless son of a bitch.
00:43:27Grace, never mind all that.
00:43:28Tell me, how much more were you able to raise?
00:43:38But I happen to have a weakness for bad boys.
00:43:42Grace?
00:43:43What the hell?
00:43:48From what I've dug up,
00:43:50Grace has been moving Thomas' assets
00:43:51into Victor's accounts all along.
00:43:53She and Victor have been colluding for a long time.
00:43:57Drive faster.
00:43:59We need to get there as soon as possible.
00:44:04Oh, Thomas, that look on your face is priceless.
00:44:08Don't worry, your eyes aren't lying.
00:44:10Victor and I, we've been together a long time.
00:44:12Grace, you.
00:44:18I'm a man of my word.
00:44:20Get on your knees, and I'll sign the check right now.
00:44:23No, I still have some dignity left.
00:44:27Sorry to trouble you.
00:44:28Good day.
00:44:30I treated you well for 15 years.
00:44:33Why are you doing this?
00:44:35Because you're finished.
00:44:37You can't get back up.
00:44:38Let me get up.
00:44:39We'll talk face to face.
00:44:40Face to face.
00:44:42With your height, your stature,
00:44:43you'll always stand ahead above me.
00:44:45But now, I've finally got you under my boot.
00:44:48I'll never let you get back up.
00:44:50I want your children to see you in all your glory.
00:44:59You don't know yet, huh?
00:45:01Mr. Crane is our new father now.
00:45:04From now on, I'm only calling him dad.
00:45:07At least he won't keep me in some sawdust-covered backwater dump.
00:45:09That's right.
00:45:10Dad promised everything you were too stingy for, he'll give us all of it.
00:45:14You...
00:45:15You'd call him father?
00:45:17One more thing.
00:45:18Moving the company's money and the receipts,
00:45:21Mr. Victor taught us exactly how to gut Bennett timber.
00:45:23So it was him.
00:45:25I just pointed the way.
00:45:27It was your three fine children who handed me everything you had with their own hands.
00:45:33Don't blame them.
00:45:34This was all my idea to begin with.
00:45:36You had them steal my money?
00:45:38How can you call it stealing?
00:45:40Isn't a man supposed to provide for his family?
00:45:43I just taught them to take what's rightfully theirs.
00:45:45So you've been lying to me?
00:45:49For 15 years?
00:45:50I married you because you were the richest lumberman around.
00:45:53I thought I'd live in the grandest house in the city and go to the finest balls.
00:45:57Instead, I was stuck in the country with you, breathing sawdust and machine oil.
00:46:01I've been so sick of you, that sawmill and your filthy workers.
00:46:05Ah, the heart-warm family reunion's over.
00:46:07Now, let's talk business.
00:46:09Sign here, hand me the sawmills, the timberland, and every dock contract.
00:46:13Then, this four million dollar check is yours.
00:46:15Never.
00:46:16Bennett timber is my life's work.
00:46:18If you don't sign, your workers will never see their wages.
00:46:21Their children will go hungry.
00:46:22Their old folks will freeze to death.
00:46:24Oh, great, Mr. Bennett.
00:46:26Is your company more important than their lives?
00:46:28You're using the workers' livelihoods to force my hand.
00:46:31Yes, and you have no other choice.
00:46:33I won't sign!
00:46:34That's not up to you.
00:46:39Let go of me!
00:46:44Sign it.
00:46:45You've got nothing left anyway.
00:46:47Once I have Bennett timber and partner with the Walker Group, this whole city will answer to me.
00:46:52Just sign it, you old wretch!
00:46:55Sir, President Walker has arrived.
00:46:58Stop!
00:46:59Stop!
00:47:00Stop!
00:47:11You must be Mr. Walker.
00:47:13Forgive me for not greeting you properly.
00:47:21Quick.
00:47:22Get this old bugger out of here.
00:47:28Mr. Bennett, what have you done to him?
00:47:31A misunderstanding, that's all.
00:47:34I'm an old friend of Bennett's.
00:47:36He owes his workers a great deal in back pay, and he came here to shake me down and make
00:47:39a scene.
00:47:40Mr. Merson, you've completely misunderstood.
00:47:43Thomas hasn't been well for years.
00:47:44His mind's gone foggy.
00:47:46That's why the company's been failing.
00:47:47He simply lost control of himself today, so it came to this.
00:47:50The company's been failing because of you, right?
00:47:54Mrs. Bennett?
00:47:56We're taking him to the hospital.
00:47:58I'm his wife!
00:48:00I have to go with him!
00:48:02Save it, Mr. Bennett.
00:48:04Hold on.
00:48:06Idiots!
00:48:07You defend the Walker Group!
00:48:09He's just a secretary.
00:48:11You are.
00:48:12Harriet Walker.
00:48:14You may have forgotten we've met before.
00:48:16Perhaps you're mistaken.
00:48:18A lady as striking as you, I'd certainly remember you.
00:48:21I'm not mistaken.
00:48:22You were my first mentor.
00:48:23You taught me how to build my own business.
00:48:26Now you're in trouble.
00:48:27I've come to help.
00:48:28Fifty million?
00:48:30Good heavens, Miss.
00:48:31Fifty million.
00:48:32Enough to cover your workers' wages and your mother's cancer treatment.
00:48:35No.
00:48:35I can't take this much money for nothing.
00:48:38Miss, fifty million is far too much.
00:48:39Listen, Thomas, just take it.
00:48:41Walker Petroleum.
00:48:42The company with the refined light fuel technology.
00:48:44You're working with them.
00:48:46That's right.
00:48:47I'd like you to come.
00:48:49All right.
00:48:51I'll be there.
00:48:52Get the cash to Lakeport as fast as you can.
00:48:54Yes, ma'am.
00:48:56And buy a stake in Bennett Timber in the Walker Group's name.
00:48:59Then inject one billion under my personal name.
00:49:03Boss, Bennett Timber's cash flow has collapsed.
00:49:06It's on the brink of bankruptcy.
00:49:08Your investment will go straight down the drain.
00:49:10Do as I say.
00:49:10Just sign it.
00:49:11It's the only way to make things right for me and the children.
00:49:14Grace, you're a viper.
00:49:16I will not let Bennett Timber fall to you snakes.
00:49:19Quit while you're ahead, old man.
00:49:22Julian, Richard, Clara, look me in the eye.
00:49:24Tell me, who provided for you all these years, sent you to the finest schools?
00:49:28Your wish was his command.
00:49:29Thomas really loved you as his own.
00:49:30Not this again.
00:49:32He cheated.
00:49:32He stiffed the workers.
00:49:33He ran the company into the ground.
00:49:35He's not our father.
00:49:35Clara, what about you?
00:49:37Thomas doted on you most of all.
00:49:39Dresses, carriages, jewels.
00:49:42He could never say no to you.
00:49:43John Miller, three months wages, two kids waiting on winter coats.
00:49:47Sam Wilson, sick wife, no food left in the house.
00:49:49Peter Brown, still can't afford the cost of his mother's funeral.
00:49:52You hear that?
00:49:53Your workers can barely survive.
00:49:56All because of your bad decisions.
00:49:58This house is only borrowed.
00:50:00There's no money hidden here.
00:50:02Then, let us search it.
00:50:04You are not going in there.
00:50:06Learn your place.
00:50:08From now on, everything belongs to the new management.
00:50:11The sawmills, timberland, dock contracts, and railroad tie supply rights.
00:50:16Thomas Bennett, you're finally nothing now.
00:50:19Does this mean we'll get our back pay now?
00:50:21Oh, a transfer of ownership is complicated business.
00:50:25Until the books are sorted out, the wages will have to wait.
00:50:28Wait!
00:50:29We only agreed to come out here for our wages!
00:50:32In that case, don't go home empty-handed.
00:50:34Thomas hid years of stolen money in this house.
00:50:37Now's the time to take it from him.
00:50:39See this money?
00:50:40Mr. Bennett sent me to withdraw it from the bank to pay your wages.
00:50:44You couldn't wait even one day.
00:50:45You beat up his mother and his assistant, and you tore his house apart.
00:50:52We didn't know.
00:50:56Don't blame them, Mr. Mercer.
00:50:58Mr. Bennett, they nearly destroyed the last home you have.
00:51:02They worked hard all year.
00:51:03They just want their pay to get their families through the winter.
00:51:06I withheld their wages.
00:51:08Someone turned them against me today.
00:51:10It's understandable.
00:51:15Consider yourselves lucky.
00:51:18Your souls get to...
00:51:24Help me!
00:51:27Run!
00:51:29Run!
00:51:29Run!
00:51:29Stay back!
00:51:44Who are you?
00:51:46I've never heard of a wizard with power like this.
00:51:48Of course you haven't.
00:51:49Because a year ago, I was just a nobody.
00:51:54Just...
00:51:56Sloth.
00:52:02Joe.
00:52:18Master, I finished sweeping the room.
00:52:21I'll go ring the bell now.
00:52:23Go on.
00:52:34You brought it?
00:52:38Lady Lauren, the seals binding the warlocks are failing.
00:52:42Even the Dark Lord is on the verge of breaking free.
00:52:44Lady Lauren, please.
00:52:46We need you to stop him.
00:52:50Me?
00:52:51No, not this time.
00:52:54But...
00:52:56He might be able to help.
00:53:01If you become his woman.
00:53:02If it saves the Academy, I'll do anything.
00:53:05I'll marry him right now.
00:53:07Marry?
00:53:08Don't flatter yourself.
00:53:10You'd be lucky if he kept you around as a servant.
00:53:13Jason!
00:53:14Come here!
00:53:20Jason.
00:53:21The Gaven family's failure of a son.
00:53:23I thought he was born without magic.
00:53:24He can't even hold mana.
00:53:26How's he supposed to help us?
00:53:28Jason.
00:53:29You've always wanted to know how your mother died, right?
00:53:3620 years ago, the Dark Lord saw a vision of his death.
00:53:41That a prodigy wielding golden mana would rise and kill him.
00:53:46Terrified, he ordered a per...
00:53:49And my mother.
00:53:52Yes.
00:53:53She sacrificed her life to protect you.
00:53:57To keep the warlocks from finding you, I laid a seal on you.
00:54:01The last 20 years, it hid every drop of your mana.
00:54:13What's this?
00:54:15Drink this, and the seal breaks, unleashing all your mana.
00:54:19However, the warlocks will sense it immediately, and they will come for you.
00:54:24The weak ones can't touch you anymore.
00:54:27But once the seal is broken, your life becomes a battlefield.
00:54:33Choose carefully.
00:54:40I'll do it.
00:54:42To avenge my mother.
00:54:44Good.
00:54:46Zurath was one of the warlocks who killed her, and his seal is about to break.
00:54:50Maybe fate's giving you a chance to settle the score.
00:55:14Impossible!
00:55:14How can he have so much mana?
00:55:2020 years sealed, undone in a breath.
00:55:22Let it out!
00:55:24All of it!
00:55:25That's...
00:55:31This...
00:55:31This is just a seal coming off?
00:55:33How much mana is in there?
00:55:36S-rank mana?
00:55:36I only just made S-rank after 50 years of study!
00:55:40The rank-measuring orb couldn't take it.
00:55:43It just...
00:55:43Crumbled.
00:55:45Jason's mana...
00:55:46Is far past S-rank.
00:55:49Wait for it.
00:55:50One day, this whole continent will know his name.
00:55:57Go, Jason.
00:55:58Let Zorath, the Dark Warden, be your first medal.
00:56:21Finally, after 10 years, I've finally broken through that cursing feel!
00:56:28Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:56:30Ugh!
00:56:41We're too late.
00:56:42Zorath's already broken the seal.
00:56:44Jason, stay close and stay sharp.
00:56:46Dark magic suppresses my power.
00:56:47I can't fight at full strength here.
00:56:49Ha!
00:56:51The headmaster of the magic academy herself!
00:56:53I was just about to come looking for you, and you walked straight into my hands.
00:57:02Be careful.
00:57:03He's a legend even among the warlocks.
00:57:06A rank at least.
00:57:07Perfect.
00:57:08You think you can stop me?
00:57:12No!
00:57:20The...
00:57:22What?
00:57:23Golden mana.
00:57:25Impossible.
00:57:26I killed you 20 years ago.
00:57:28I watched your mother take her last breath!
00:57:30Sorry to disappoint, but I'm alive.
00:57:33And you're dying today.
00:57:41Time to join your mother in...
00:57:43Ow!
00:57:45Damn it!
00:57:46The boy's far stronger than I thought.
00:57:47I can't beat him like this.
00:57:48I need my power back for...
00:57:51Running already.
00:58:01That was easier than I expected.
00:58:03One move.
00:58:05He destroyed Zorath with just one move.
00:58:08This shouldn't be possible.
00:58:10Headmaster Graves, I should go.
00:58:12After I say goodbye to my master, I'm heading home.
00:58:14The warlocks took my mother and countless others.
00:58:17I can't change that.
00:58:18But I can make damn sure they don't take anyone else.
00:58:20Let me take you.
00:58:32Damn him!
00:58:33One strike nearly destroyed me!
00:58:35If my necromancy hadn't dragged my soul back, I'd be finished.
00:58:39My master will return soon.
00:58:42I need to find the gem of revival and rebuild myself fast!
00:58:48The seals are breaking.
00:58:51And Zorath's undead are already at our borders.
00:58:54Every fighter who can still stand, take up your arms and join me!
00:58:57We hold this land together, or we die defending it.
00:59:02Drive out the warlocks!
00:59:03Drive!
00:59:05Drive out the warlocks!
00:59:07Relax, father.
00:59:08I'm a C-rank wizard.
00:59:10A handful of undead grunts?
00:59:12Please.
00:59:18Father!
00:59:19I want to go, too!
00:59:23Andrew's already a C-rank mage.
00:59:25Jason's been training for over ten years and still can't even hold manor.
00:59:29And he thinks he's fit for battle?
00:59:32He's cursed, too.
00:59:33His mother died the day he was born.
00:59:35You really want someone like that fighting beside us?
00:59:38He'll get us all killed!
00:59:40Only that old hag in the bell tower would take him in.
00:59:43If you ask me, Lord Leon should exile the reject then for himself.
00:59:49Jason?
00:59:50You're supposed to be minding the bell tower.
00:59:52What are you doing here?
00:59:53Go back!
00:59:53We're going to war!
00:59:54Not on some reckless adventure!
00:59:56Father, I'm part of this family, too.
00:59:58I want to do my part.
00:59:59I can do this!
01:00:01Don't worry, darling.
01:00:02I'll pass the wizard's exam this time.
01:00:04I want to do my part for this family, too.
01:00:08The dark magic ate through her.
01:00:11She spent the last of her life for to keep the child alive.
01:00:19My lord, Jason is asking to see you.
01:00:22Send him away.
01:00:23Tell him I'm out.
01:00:24My lord, rumors are floating around the domain.
01:00:27They say you can't stand the sight of young master Jason.
01:00:32Find whoever started it.
01:00:35Make an example of them.
01:00:39I'm sorry, Jason.
01:00:40Jason, I don't want to shut you out, but I just, I can't look you in the face.
01:00:45Not when you look so much like your mother.
01:00:49Jason, wanting to serve this family, that's a good thing.
01:00:52Getting a little too confident up in that bell tower, aren't you?
01:00:55Don't forget what you are.
01:00:56A reject who can't even hold mana.
01:00:57What are you going to do, polish the undead to death?
01:01:00Blind them with that broken lamp?
01:01:02Enough, Andrew.
01:01:03Jason is your brother.
01:01:05Watch your mouth.
01:01:07Father, I don't agree.
01:01:08Jason doesn't even have a proper magic weapon.
01:01:10He'll just drag the rest of us down.
01:01:13He's right, my lord.
01:01:14We need a real wizard in battle, not a bell ringer with no mana.
01:01:18Father, I do have a magic weapon.
01:01:20My master gave me this lantern.
01:01:22I know how to use it.
01:01:24Lorraine gave you that?
01:01:29Strange.
01:01:30It looks like junk, but the inside is shrouded by some kind of magic.
01:01:34I can't make out what it's made of.
01:01:38Jason, this will be a dangerous journey.
01:01:40If you want to see the world, fine.
01:01:43But you must stay by my side at all times.
01:01:47Understood?
01:01:48Yes, father.
01:01:48I will.
01:01:49I promise.
01:01:51We start tonight.
01:01:53We will patrol the borders in shifts.
01:01:56Andrew, first squad with me.
01:02:00Don't worry, father.
01:02:01Father, I'll prove myself.
01:02:03Care for little reject.
01:02:05Don't wander too far without daddy holding your hand.
01:02:21Hand over the gem of revival and you keep your lives.
01:02:25Refuse.
01:02:25We level this city!
01:02:27A red robe.
01:02:28Only warlocks above B-rank can wear those.
01:02:33That's it.
01:02:34Her mana barely registers.
01:02:36She's nothing special.
01:02:38She's nothing special.
01:02:42Legions of the dead.
01:02:44With me!
01:02:47My lord, the gates will fall at this rate.
01:02:55Father, leave this to me.
01:03:40See that little reject?
01:03:41That's what real magic looks like.
01:03:49No!
01:03:50Those skeletons aren't finished yet!
01:03:54Stay dead!
01:03:55Hang on!
01:03:56Woo!
01:03:57Andrew wiped out dozens of undead in one move.
01:04:00He's more powerful than an entire army.
01:04:02So much for the red robe warlock.
01:04:04Andrew drove her back without breaking a sweat.
01:04:06With Andrew here, no warlock can touch us.
01:04:09My lord, with Andrew on our side, what warlock could possibly threaten us?
01:04:13You should be proud, Lord Leon.
01:04:15Raising a prodigy like Andrew is an achievement in itself.
01:04:21The boy's done well.
01:04:23He really has.
01:04:29Andrew!
01:04:30Don't drop your guard!
01:04:32Those skeletons aren't dead!
01:04:40What's wrong, Jason?
01:04:42I'm scared of something I can crush under my boot.
01:04:44Born to the same father.
01:04:46But how is Jason so far behind Andrew?
01:04:49I bet he nearly wet himself from that little battle just now.
01:04:51He's just a useless coward.
01:04:53Who let him near a battlefield?
01:04:59Andrew!
01:05:00Your leg!
01:05:01Expel your manor now!
01:05:05So one of you has a brain after all.
01:05:08Shame it's already too late.
01:05:13God, did you hear that?
01:05:15The reject's giving knee orders.
01:05:20Father, make Andrew Jason...
01:05:21Enough, Jason!
01:05:25Andrew's already been marked by the Necromancer's mana.
01:05:28If he doesn't purge every drop of it right now, he'll become her puppet.
01:05:31Jason, I warned you.
01:05:33You're here to observe, not make trouble.
01:05:36Andrew is risking his life for House Gaville.
01:05:38I won't let your jealousy turn you against your own brother.
01:05:45No.
01:05:46It's too late.
01:05:48Andrew!
01:05:49For the honor of House Gaville,
01:05:52drive every last warlock from our land!
01:05:57Don't worry, Father, I'll...
01:06:04Master Andrew, are you alright?
01:06:21What's happening?
01:06:22I can't control my body!
01:06:24He...
01:06:24He's turned into the warlock's puppet.
01:06:26We have to bind him, now!
01:06:29Binding?
01:06:30That's my specialty.
01:06:38Father!
01:06:39We need to help Andrew now, or it's all over!
01:06:43That doesn't mean you have to throw your life away.
01:06:46Father!
01:06:47Enough, Jason!
01:06:49You'd only be dead weight.
01:06:50I can't fight a warlock with one hand and keep you alive with the other.
01:06:57Father!
01:07:11Andrew!
01:07:12Wake up!
01:07:13Don't let the warlock consume you!
01:07:18You lot think you can stop me.
01:07:21I won't let you take me!
01:07:27The gate's fallen.
01:07:30We're finished.
01:07:31Andrew!
01:07:32What the hell are you doing?
01:07:33No!
01:07:34I don't want this either!
01:07:41Father!
01:07:42Father!
01:07:44How did...
01:07:45Come to this?
01:07:47A C-ranked mage.
01:07:48Pathetic.
01:07:49Worthy or not even worth controlling.
01:07:51Die.
01:07:53This is bad.
01:07:55That warlock has to be above B-rank.
01:07:57We're screwed.
01:07:59Get out of my way.
01:08:00I can save them.
01:08:01Master Jason.
01:08:02Lord Leon is just trying to keep you alive.
01:08:04He's right.
01:08:06We won't let you run to your death.
01:08:07Move.
01:08:08I need to help my father.
01:08:10No!
01:08:11I don't want to die!
01:08:16Father!
01:08:17You're alive?
01:08:20Father!
01:08:22Let me help!
01:08:23I won't let my son just die.
01:08:25Not while your old man's still kicking.
01:08:33I'll hold it here!
01:08:34Everyone, start casting!
01:08:37Stay out of my way.
01:08:42That titan's just a corpse running on necromancy.
01:08:45The source is in the head.
01:08:46Father!
01:08:47Aim for its forehead!
01:08:57Master Jason, stop making things worse.
01:08:59If you knew the first thing about necromancy,
01:09:01you'd know a reamated corpse's weak point is the heart.
01:09:02No!
01:09:03This titan is different!
01:09:05Jason, really?
01:09:07Even now, you're still trying to prove yourself.
01:09:10Aim at its heart!
01:09:11You...
01:09:24I'm so sorry!
01:09:27It worked.
01:09:28Yeah!
01:09:29Thank the gods!
01:09:31I don't know why, but that titan felt off.
01:09:33Just like Jason said, the necromancy was strongest at the brow, not the heart.
01:09:38But no, it had to be a coincidence.
01:09:44All thanks to Lord Leon, he led us to defeat the titan and the warlock.
01:09:48That's our lord.
01:09:58Father, the titan isn't dead.
01:10:01What?
01:10:05Your domain actually produced a genius.
01:10:07What a shame.
01:10:08Even a genius gets dragged down by idiots.
01:10:14What is that thing?
01:10:16It's an A-ranked parasite tree.
01:10:18That's it.
01:10:19That's why it felt so wrong.
01:10:21The real undead wasn't the titan.
01:10:23It was a parasite tree nesting in its brain.
01:10:27You hell.
01:10:28No!
01:10:34What do you know about it?
01:10:36Yeah!
01:10:42We're finished.
01:10:45We lost our one chance to kill it.
01:10:49A city this prosperous, a gem of revival, all of it will be mine!
01:10:56And once I deliver you to Lord Zora, I'll be raised to Dark Warden and take my place at his
01:11:02side!
01:11:17I failed this city! Protect my sons! I'll end this here!
01:11:22Lord Leon is burning through his life force for power, Father.
01:11:28Lord Leon! Father!
01:11:29No!
01:11:43Jason?
01:11:51Our realm is under dragon attack.
01:11:54The only way to end it is for one human to willingly enter the Dragon Valley as a sacrifice.
01:12:00Will anyone step forward to save the realm?
01:12:04I volunteer as sacrifice!
01:12:08You are young to have such a death wish.
01:12:11I'm eighteen, your majesty. My only wish is that my life means something.
01:12:15Very well. You shall travel to the Dragon Valley in three days' time with the arrival of the full moon.
01:12:22And there you will die.
01:12:25Before you go, I must ask, you are so young, why would you give up your life so freely?
01:12:29I'm an orphan.
01:12:31Found near the Dragon Valley as a child, I have no true family to mourn me.
01:12:35That is because my family already treats me like I'm dead, though it was not always the case.
01:12:39Lord Quinn taught me to run.
01:12:42I'm doing it, Father! Look!
01:12:43That's it, Alistair! Soon you shall be riding a horse like a knight!
01:12:47My mother, Lady Quinn, taught me to be gentle.
01:12:52Remember, Alistair. Delicate.
01:12:55My older sister, the brave knight Kaia, taught me to fight.
01:12:59Better luck next time, brother.
01:13:04And my sister Elaine, blinded by a fever, taught me to see more than just what was on the surface.
01:13:14Dorian, the son of a defeated noble sent to my father as payment.
01:13:18I thought I found a brother that was like me.
01:13:21An orphan, except he came from noble birth.
01:13:25But it was not meant to be.
01:13:29While hunting, Dorian blamed me for a stab wound he gave himself.
01:13:35There is room for only one foundling in this family.
01:13:39My family believed him.
01:13:42Father banished me from the house, ordering me to live in the stables.
01:13:49I've been there ever since, despite the pain.
01:13:52The Quins loved me for many years.
01:13:55They saved my life.
01:13:57Now I can repay them by saving their lives and the realm.
01:14:02No one will miss me.
01:14:04You are very brave to do this, Alistair.
01:14:06I will make sure you have the finest clothes from my palace and you can travel home in my private
01:14:10carriage.
01:14:11Majesty, I do have one request.
01:14:13Name it and it is yours.
01:14:15I wish that my identity stays a secret.
01:14:17That no one outside of the people in this room will know what I have volunteered to do.
01:14:21I promise no one will know.
01:14:24Let no one here ever speak Alistair's name or mention what he promised to do today so long as Alistair
01:14:29is alive.
01:14:30This is my command under penalty of death.
01:14:33Three days.
01:14:35In three days I will be gone.
01:14:41Just as I had hoped, the manor was quiet this early.
01:14:44There would be no family around to see me arriving from my secret trip to the capital.
01:14:50Though perhaps I've spoken too soon.
01:14:53They seem angry.
01:14:57And where have you been?
01:14:58There are dragons on the loose, boy.
01:15:00You should be guarding this manor with your life, not disappearing like a common coward.
01:15:05Forgive me, my lord.
01:15:08A stable rat dressed as a prince.
01:15:09You probably stole these clothes.
01:15:12You're lying.
01:15:13A thief in fancy clothes.
01:15:15Are the clothes we give you not enough?
01:15:17Did you have to go steal these?
01:15:19Yet again you embarrass our family.
01:15:22Your stolen clothes don't look so nice now.
01:15:24Come on, Kaia. Ignore him.
01:15:26You are just a stable boy.
01:15:28The mud is where you belong and where you should stay.
01:15:32In three days I will be gone.
01:15:37Tell me, when do you plan to tell the quins that you volunteered as the dragon sacrifice?
01:15:41You know? But how?
01:15:45People see me as nothing more than a loyal butler.
01:15:48But there is more to me than meets the eye.
01:15:54I've decided not to tell them.
01:15:56They'll find out soon enough.
01:15:58Will you keep this between us?
01:16:01Yes.
01:16:02I will keep your secret.
01:16:03The realm needs a sacrifice, not a family scandal.
01:16:06A heart can break twice, boy.
01:16:08Once from cruelties and once from silence.
01:16:13Then let mine break quietly.
01:16:14Certainly more than my family.
01:16:16That scream came from Lady Quinn's rose garden.
01:16:19Mother!
01:16:21My roses!
01:16:23My beautiful, innocent roses!
01:16:26They're dead!
01:16:31Mother, someone put salt in the soil.
01:16:34Nothing can survive in your garden.
01:16:35Who could have done this?
01:16:37Alistair was angry that you praised my pruning yesterday.
01:16:40That's not true. I've been gone and only just now returned.
01:16:43Gone where? To destroy the evidence.
01:16:45We should search his room.
01:16:47There is nothing to find.
01:16:49I swear, please believe me.
01:16:52There! Under his bed!
01:16:57I don't believe my eyes.
01:16:59A sack of salt.
01:17:00Half empty.
01:17:02I told you he did it.
01:17:04Those roses were the one thing I trusted you with.
01:17:08How could you...
01:17:10I swear I didn't harm your roses.
01:17:15I haven't even been here long enough to do it.
01:17:17You saw me arrive early this morning.
01:17:19That's true.
01:17:20Alistair wasn't here this morning.
01:17:21Yes. Very...
01:17:23I saw you on top of the boat.
01:17:25You know?
01:17:40I was just looking for a tour of the boat.
01:17:42You know it!
