00:02Sir, we found her. Eight years ago, when Miss Helena left, she gave birth to a daughter.
00:15Where is the child now? Five years ago, Miss Helena died of an illness. The child, whereabouts unknown.
00:40A child? Christian, that child belongs to our family. Whatever it takes, bring her home.
00:47Eight years. God knows how much that child has suffered out there.
00:52Understood. Don't worry. Activate the Arnold Global Intelligence Network.
00:57Spare no expense. Find that child. No blood of the Arnold family grows up on the streets.
01:06Sweetie, get your coat on. Time for your violin lesson at your teacher's house.
01:12It's my birthday today! Why do I still have a lesson on my birthday?
01:16By the time you're back, the cake will be here, and Mommy will throw you your birthday party, okay?
01:35What happened?
01:38It was Mia! She smashed my violin! She's jealous it's my birthday!
01:43I didn't. I never even touched it.
01:51You little bitch! Today is your sister's big day! How dare you cause trouble!
01:59Chloe broke that violin herself. I never touched it.
02:06Shut your mouth! Since when do you get to talk in this house?
02:10Mommy, she broke my violin and still has the nerve to lie! She's just jealous of me!
02:15You still deny it? What, you're saying Chloe broke it herself?
02:19I did not do it. I did. Not. Do it.
02:24Still won't admit you're wrong? Who do you think you are?
02:27No water! No food! You eat when you apologize!
02:35Open the door! I'm sorry! Please let me out!
02:39Five years feeding you, housing you for nothing, and now you've grown a spine?
02:43I regret ever adopting you. Sit in there and think it over.
02:46You don't admit you're wrong? You're out of this family for good!
02:49Before Mom died, she gave the Millers the last of her money, and me, hoping they'd take care of me.
02:56From today on, you are our child.
02:59If Chloe were still here, she'd be about this big too.
03:02Later, they found their own daughter Chloe. From that day on, I was no longer a child of this house.
03:08My room and my toys all went to Chloe. I was just the help.
03:11Chloe, from now on, you are the one and only little princess of this house.
03:17Mia, everything in this house belongs to Chloe. Hand over your doll.
03:22From now on, your family and I are done.
03:38Christian, founder of Arnold Capital, is offering a reward in the hundreds of millions for his long-lost daughter with
03:45his late wife, Helena.
03:46Anyone with information will be richly rewarded.
03:50Hundreds of millions. How much money is that?
03:57Mom, is he really my daddy?
04:06Such a tall building. Is the daddy from the photo really inside there?
04:13Stop. Kid, you got an appointment? No appointment, no entry.
04:16I'm not here to play. I'm looking for the man in this photo. He's my daddy.
04:22A CEO for a daddy? This building belongs to Mr. Arnold. You think the CEO just meets anyone who shows
04:29up?
04:29Please, mister. I'm begging you.
04:36Get going. Don't block the entrance.
04:40If I can't get in, I'll wait right here at the door.
04:47Just hold on a little longer. Daylight is coming. Daddy has to come out sooner or later.
04:58Daddy?
05:04Excuse me. Are you Mr. Arnold?
05:09Stop. Come no closer.
05:12Sir, please. Just wait a moment.
05:17I am Helena's daughter. Are you the man in this photo?
05:22You're Helena's daughter?
05:24Mm-hmm. She said the man in the photo is my daddy.
05:28Her eyes, just like Helena's.
05:31Home! Now!
05:46She's so small, so frail. What on earth did she go through all these years?
05:51This child? Is she really our granddaughter?
05:55Sir, the results are in. A perfect blood match.
06:02It's true. Our granddaughter is finally home.
06:08Your hands are like ice, sweetheart. All these years, where have you been living?
06:13With my foster parents, the Millers. They didn't want me living with them anymore.
06:17Now that she's back, you take proper care of her.
06:21I know.
06:23Mia, from now on, this is your home. No one will ever hurt you again.
06:28Thank you, sir.
06:29You're home now. From now on, just call me Daddy.
06:34Thank you, Daddy.
06:37Eight years. I never even knew she existed.
06:40And she suffered all of it.
06:45Turn the biggest room on the second floor into her bedroom.
06:51Clothes, toys, everything she needs. No picking and choosing.
06:55Top of the line, the entire current season packed and delivered.
06:59Have everything ready tonight.
07:02I won't have her feeling lonely in some empty room.
07:05Whatever she likes, whatever she wants, just get it.
07:08Don't come asking me.
07:10Yes, sir.
07:17Wash all of these before dinner.
07:19Chloe's inviting her classmates over.
07:23What?
07:24The water's too cold.
07:26Cold? Who do you think you are, some high and mighty little lady?
07:32Scrub! Now!
07:38This Daddy is so tall, so cold when he speaks.
07:44What if one day he doesn't want me either?
07:46What if it turns out like the Miller's house?
07:49Normally I have to keep living. Just sleep for now.
07:53Think about it later.
08:00Daddy, don't send me away.
08:05Never again. No one takes you from me. Ever.
08:14Dig into it.
08:16How Mia lived all these years. Not one single detail gets missed.
08:23Yes, sir.
08:28Do you like it, miss? All on Mr. Arnold's orders.
08:32He said prepare everything to your liking.
08:35Thank you, Daddy, for all of this.
08:37No need to thank me. This is what I should do.
08:40Have you been going to school?
08:41No. My foster parents said housework mattered more than school.
08:46She's so young. How did she endure so much?
08:51Enroll Mia in school.
08:53Barkley Prep. As fast as possible.
08:55Yes, sir.
09:01Once you're inside, miss, I've got everything handled. No need to be nervous.
09:07Mr. Butler, can Daddy come pick me up tonight?
09:11The master has an important meeting today. He asked me to pass along his apology.
09:14A car will be here right on time when school lets out.
09:20Daddy isn't even coming today. The butler says work keeps him busy.
09:25Or maybe he just doesn't like me at all. That's why he won't come.
09:36Mia!
09:38Well, well, well. Nice outfit. Where'd it come from? Stolen, huh?
09:45A nobody like you? An unwanted little stray?
09:49You slip into some fancy clothes and think you can just waltz into an elite school?
09:56Huh. Wait. Aren't you the servant girl from Chloe's place? We've seen you at her house.
10:01Exactly. Back at the Miller's, she couldn't even afford a decent outfit.
10:06Quit playing the little heiress and take those clothes off right now.
10:11Dodge me, will you? Where was all this fight when you were scrubbing floors and toilets at home?
10:21From today on, stay away from me.
10:25She pushed me! Mia pushed me!
10:29You little bitch! You dare lay a hand on Chloe?
10:32You've gone too far. We raised you for five years and this is how you repay us?
10:37That girl looked so quiet. How could she hit someone?
10:41She came at me first.
10:43You stole my uniform and tried to pass yourself off as a student here to sneak into Barclay!
10:48This uniform is mine. I am a Barclay student.
10:53You? A Barclay student? Your mom is dead and nobody even knows who your dad is.
10:59Who'd be so kind as to buy a nobody like you into the most expensive school there is? Huh?
11:04That's enough!
11:08This is a school gate, not a place for you to carry on.
11:11Mr. Miller? Mrs. Miller? Leave. Right now. She hit my daughter. This is not over.
11:18Let me make this clear in Barclay's name.
11:21Mia is a newly and officially enrolled first grader at this school.
11:25Her paperwork is complete. There is nothing wrong with her identity.
11:29Enrolled? Sir, has the school made a mistake? Or did this little brat con you?
11:35Nobody knows her better than we do. There is no way she could ever become a Barclay student.
11:39We raised her for five years. I know her true colors better than anyone.
11:44True colors?
11:45This girl is a thief. She must have stolen all this to play the rich kid.
11:52Sir, we're here.
12:01Christian? The owner of Arnold Capital? My God! That's him! The man who offered hundreds of millions for his daughter
12:07just days ago?
12:09I am Mia's father. Christian Arnold.
12:12Arnold Capital? Christian? The biggest boss on all of Wall Street? How is that possible?
12:17Mr. Arnold, you've got it all wrong. There must be some mistake. How could this girl possibly be your daughter?
12:22She grew up in our home. She doesn't have a father.
12:27Yes, yes, exactly. Sir, listen to us. We're Mia's foster parents. Her birth mother died of illness ages ago, and
12:35we've never once heard who her birth father is.
12:38Right. She's just an unwanted nobody.
12:41Sir, Miss Mia has lived with the Millers since age three. According to the neighbors, she's suffered constant abuse in
12:47that house these past years.
12:49Forced into heavy chores, beaten and cursed at for no reason at all.
12:56The DNA test is confirmed. Mia is my biological daughter.
13:01My God, that's Christian! The founder of Arnold Capital!
13:05It's over. It's over. The Millers are done for this time.
13:09Mr. Arnold, Mia came to live with our family when she was three. She was our foster daughter. We looked
13:15after her for a long time.
13:16In your house, Mia was no foster daughter. She was the maid. Scrubbing floors, scrubbing toilets, cooking and laundry for
13:24your entire family. That was her every single day. You did every bit of it, nice and thorough. And I
13:31uncovered every bit of it, just as thorough.
13:33Sir! Sir, please! It's all a misunderstanding! All of it!
13:39As of today, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, and every company under your names, go on Arnold's blacklist permanently.
13:47If anyone in your family so much as bothers Mia again, Arnold will settle the score for everything you've ever
13:54done.
13:55Daddy, let's go home.
13:57Alright.
14:10Alright.
14:12Don't work too hard, Daddy. Have some warm milk.
14:23God, I let such a sweet, sensible little girl be abused all those years.
14:30No one will ever wrong you again.
14:33If I pick something expensive, will Daddy stop liking me?
14:38No need. Just one is enough.
14:41Every limited edition doll and dress on this street, buy them all. Have them packed and sent back to the
14:45estate.
14:46All of them? Every limited edition on the whole street?
14:50Buy them all? How much money would that be? Back at the Miller's, I didn't even dare ask for a
14:57one dollar candy.
14:58Daddy. Daddy, you're so good to me.
15:04Our sweet granddaughter. Grandpa and Grandma had your gifts ready long ago.
15:10From now on, there'll be a whole room just for your castle playhouse, and...
15:16And a private island in the Caribbean. It's already been deeded in your name.
15:20The deed and ownership papers arrive at the estate next week.
15:24An... an island?
15:26That's right. White sand beaches, coconut groves, and your very own little dock.
15:32On school breaks, Grandpa and Grandma will take you there to play.
15:36Back in that house, even a full meal was hard to come by.
15:40And now, all of a sudden, a castle, an island, piles and piles of toys.
15:47Is any of this real?
15:48Annual junior math competition selection. Elite representatives from every grade. The highest academic honor. The champion receives a full scholarship
15:57and a recommendation letter to a top university.
16:03Oh, look. If it isn't Mia, a wild child with a few days of school under her belt, no way
16:10she'd enter a high-level competition like this. Right?
16:13Right, right. She probably can't even read the questions.
16:16Back at the Millers, she couldn't even go to school. Now she suddenly dresses all posh and thinks she can
16:21represent the school. Her? Represent the school? Dream on. Turn in a blank sheet and disgrace the whole Arnold family?
16:29Then Mr. Arnold won't be able to hold his head up anywhere on Wall Street.
16:35Math. Back at the Millers, I used to sneak peeks at Chloe's workbooks. Those problems honestly weren't that hard. This
16:43competition? I'm entering it.
16:45You? What did you just say?
16:52I said, I'm in.
17:00What are you doing?
17:02N-nothing. Just reading.
17:05The school competition?
17:07Mm. I signed up. But there are so many problems I can't solve. I never went to school before. My
17:15fundamentals are weak.
17:19Do you want to win?
17:21Yes.
17:22Then I'll help you.
17:29Sir, the math authority you asked for has been brought in from MIT. His private jet just landed.
17:41Mr. Arnold, I've already been briefed on Miss Mia's situation. I will train her with everything I have. The competition
17:48is in two weeks. I want her winning in style.
17:55Oh, so you really are studying. Ha. All for show. Can you even understand it? Ha ha ha. Save yourself
18:04the trouble. I don't believe you can understand a word of it. Drop out now while you still can. Unless
18:10you want to stand on that stage like a total fool and shame the whole Arnold family.
18:18Just you wait. I'll humiliate you in front of everyone.
18:27Hmm. Not bad at all.
18:30This approach is strikingly original. In all my years of teaching, few students could ever have seen it. Keep going.
18:46Business keeps getting worse. Every partner on Wall Street has stopped taking our calls.
18:51And it's all that Christian's doing.
18:54Dad! Mom! Don't worry. At the math competition in two weeks, I will beat Mia.
19:01I'll show her who's the really impressive one.
19:05Yes! My girl is the best!
19:08Daddy believes in you. I signed you up for the most expensive math Olympiad prep program. Prepare well.
19:18Just you wait. Today is the day you're finished.
19:30I've taken the gift. It'll be done exactly as you said.
19:35Now, let's replace it with an advanced middle school math Olympiad problem.
19:40Thank you, director. Once she turns in that blank sheet in front of everyone, let's see how she ever shows
19:46her face at this school again.
19:57Dear teachers, dear students. Let's take a look at this contestant's progress.
20:03Mia, you haven't written a single word. Running into some trouble? Shall I come take a look for you?
20:09Haha! What did I tell you? She can't do it at all! Just hand in the blank sheet!
20:14Wait!
20:17They swapped my problem? It's fine. The professor walked me through this type once.
20:22Hmph!
20:35A problem this complex? Impressive!
20:38A problem this complex? Impressive!
20:46A problem this complex? Impressive!
20:53That's my daughter. A true Christian Arnold.
21:03Every partner on Wall Street is pulled out. The bank is hounding us for the loan. The company won't survive
21:08the month.
21:09What do we do? The house could go up for auction. The car could get seized for debts.
21:19The debt collectors are hounding us again.
21:25It's all Mia's fault! All of it! If it weren't for her, how would our family ever end up like
21:31this?
21:32What's that supposed to mean?
21:33Christian blacklisted Dad's company because of Mia, didn't he? She stole everything from me!
21:38I used to be the princess of this house. Now even the house is gone! This is all her fault!
21:44I will never let her have a single good day.
21:48She used to be my family's servant and now she wants to be a princess?
21:53In her dreams.
22:10What do I do? My bracelet is gone! It was a birthday gift from my mom! It was super expensive!
22:16Did anyone see it?
22:17When did you lose it? You still had it on this morning. Could it have dropped in the hallway? Want
22:22me to help you look?
22:32Hmm? What's this?
22:35Whose bracelet ended up inside my backpack?
22:41Mia! Why did you steal my bracelet?
22:43I didn't steal it. I found it inside my backpack. I was just about to ask.
22:51What's going on here?
22:53Teacher! Mia stole my bracelet!
22:57It came right out of her own backpack!
22:59Mia, do you have anything to say for yourself?
23:01She always loved stealing back at the miller's house. All their neighbors know it! Now she's stealing here at school!
23:10I want to check the classroom security footage. To see exactly who put this thing inside my backpack.
23:22What's going on?
23:23The camera's been covered by something. Nothing from this window was recorded.
23:28Look! The classroom camera was covered! Mia did that! She planned the whole thing!
23:34Blocked the camera on purpose so she could steal!
23:36It really does look covered.
23:39Or did Mia really do it?
23:41She used to live at Chloe's place. She could very well have stolen Chloe's things before.
23:46Mia, do you have anything to say for yourself?
23:51The covered camera doesn't matter. There is another way.
23:54What way?
23:55I have never touched this bracelet.
23:57But whoever handled it must have left fingerprints on it.
24:00Pull the prints and one test tells us exactly who touched it.
24:10Fingerprints? What good are fingerprints?
24:14What if you wore gloves when you stole it?
24:21Chloe, don't waste your breath on her.
24:23Who knows if she wore gloves when she stole it?
24:25Bringing up fingerprints now is just a stalling tactic to buy time and throw everyone off!
24:30Mia! How dare you argue!
24:33When a teacher asks you a question, you answer it honestly!
24:38Such an outrageous attitude!
24:40Do you have no respect for school rules at all?
24:43Save it. The director will be here any minute. Just you wait for your punishment.
24:50Sir, word just came from the school. Miss Mia has been framed for theft.
24:54She's being scolded by the teachers right now.
24:59What?
25:01Someone planted the evidence on Miss Mia, and the director is about to reprimand her.
25:10Assemble the legal team and the bodyguards. We leave now.
25:23M-M-Mr. Arnold? Sir, what-what brings you here?
25:27Take me to the classroom.
25:31My daughter Mia does not steal.
25:33Pull the footage, not just the classroom, the stairwell exits, the elevator lobbies, the ends of every hallway, every single
25:40camera.
25:41All of it.
25:48Sir, there is only one person's fingerprints on the bracelet, and they are not Miss Mia's.
25:56It can be confirmed the only fingerprint trace on the bracelet belongs to this young lady right here.
26:02This school, I've just acquired it.
26:05And now I announce, expelled. Effective immediately.
26:09Any teacher who is not fair, expelled. Effective immediately.
26:14I'll see you at home after school.
26:17Okay.
26:18This is all your fault. If you two had never adopted her, none of this would have happened to me.
26:23The company's bankrupt. No one on Wall Street will work with us anymore.
26:26The bank calls every single day. The house is going up for auction.
26:29I used to get my facials every week, buy designer bags. Now we've even let the nanny go. I have
26:33to cook my own meals.
26:35This is your fault. Why did you ever adopt Mia? Why did you treat her so badly afterward?
26:40Now she's got a billionaire daddy, and she's back for revenge.
26:44We never should have treated her that way. It's too late for words now.
26:48Too late? It is not too late. We go beg her. Beg Christian. We raised that girl for five years.
26:54That has to count for something.
26:56Right. We go beg him. He's a billionaire. Whatever slips through his fingers is enough to put us back on
27:03our feet.
27:05Arnold Capital does not see visitors without an appointment. Please leave.
27:09We... we're Mia's foster parents. Please, just pass a message along.
27:15No appointment. No exceptions.
27:20Mr. Arnold! Mr. Arnold! Please, just stop for a moment.
27:25Mr. Arnold, I'm begging you, show us mercy and give us a way out.
27:29We raised Mia for five whole years. That has to count for something. You've driven our whole family into the
27:35ground.
27:36When you were abusing Mia back then, did you ever picture this day coming?
27:48Mia, my sweet girl, have you forgotten? We were the ones who took you in from your mother. You were
27:52only three. You could barely even walk.
27:54That's right. When you got sick, your mom rushed you to the hospital in the middle of the night. We
28:00loved you, you know.
28:01Move.
28:02Mia, please talk to your father. Tell him to spare us. We can't survive like this. I'm begging you.
28:14I told you already. Your family stays away from my daughter.
28:31Just a few more days. I'm working on it.
28:33Three days. That's your last extension. Miss the deadline and start packing. You'll be living under a bridge.
28:41The debt collectors again, right? It's all because of Mia. All of her. That's why our family has fallen apart.
28:49What good is crying? Can tears pay off debts?
28:52Why did you ever adopt her? Why didn't you have the guts to finish her off back then? Now she's
28:58got a billionaire daddy and she's back for revenge! She's going to destroy this whole family!
29:03Finish her off?
29:04If Christian won't give us a way to live, then we'll find one ourselves.
29:10You... what are you planning to do?
29:12We take Mia. And make her billionaire daddy pay the ransom. See? The second the shift changes, their attention splits.
29:20And on the route home from school, the tree line stretches the narrowest. No room to maneuver.
29:25The ether's ready. Keys are copied. There's a warehouse in the abandoned industrial park. My brother's lending it to us.
29:33Nobody ever goes there.
29:35We wait for a rainy day. The harder it pours, the better. The cameras can't capture a thing. And the
29:41bodyguards can barely see.
29:44Sir, this car. Three days in a row now. Every evening it circles the estate's perimeter, parks for half an
29:50hour, then leaves.
29:52Pull the surveillance around the school. See if the same car shows up.
29:56Sir, it's at the Barkley Gate 2. Security goes to maximum.
30:03Double the bodyguards on Mia's convoy, to and from school. Add three more patrol units around the estate perimeter.
30:13Tonight's the night.
30:14A night of heavy rain. Visibility's terrible. No one will see a thing.
30:24Crash! We crashed! What am I gonna do?
30:35Daddy, help me. I don't want to be locked up again.
30:47All units, pursue. Target is a gray van.
31:00Sir. Miss Mia. She's gone. Ambushed on the tree-lined road. The driver was knocked out. All we found at
31:10the scene was...
31:11One little shoe. Activate code red. Highest level directive.
31:15Yes, sir. The Arnold Global Security Network goes fully live.
31:19Every private detective in the city, SWAT units, the police surveillance grid, all of them.
31:24Even if you have to turn this city upside down, bring my daughter home.
31:29You little bitch. You think finding a rich daddy makes you special? Look at you now! Right here in my
31:36hands!
31:36Your dad won't give us a way to live? Then we settle the score with you. Either he pays the
31:41ransom, or you die!
31:42Why?
31:47Hello? Mr. Arnold? Your daughter is in my hands.
32:01This band has satellite tracking. Press this button on the side, and no matter where you are, I will find
32:09you.
32:10When do I use it?
32:13When you're in danger.
32:21Sir, the band's signal. We have a lock. Coordinates, the abandoned industrial park, north of the city.
32:46And...
32:48Okay.
33:01You and a nice firepower.
33:02You're a big enemy.
33:02Oh, no sir!
33:02Oh, no sir!
33:03Oh, no sir!
33:04Oh, no sir!
33:05Over there!
33:05Oh, no sir!
33:08Oh, no sir!
33:08Now, what's up on my side?
33:09Oh!
33:10Knife!
33:18Don't be scared. Daddy's here.
33:20Daddy's right here.
33:38Don't kill me. I was wrong. I was wrong.
33:43Spare us, Mr. Arnold. Have mercy. We were desperate. We had nowhere else to make.
34:00Save your begging. I told you once. If your family ever dared come near Mia again, take them to the
34:09precinct.
34:10Kidnapping, child abuse, aggravated assault, prosecute to the maximum sentence.
34:18Nothing seriously wrong. I've treated the marks on her wrists and applied ointment. They'll heal in a few days.
34:24She's mostly just shaken. Let her rest.
34:33Daddy?
34:37Daddy?
34:39Mia, do you know, in my entire life, I have never once been this afraid?
34:45The verdict.
34:48The defendant's Mr. and Mrs. Miller, guilty of child abuse, premeditated kidnapping, and attempted extortion.
34:54All sentences to run consecutively. Life imprisonment, no parole.
35:05The master and the young mistress have never once mentioned Helena having a cousin.
35:09Hello there. I'm Charlie, Helena's cousin, and this is my wife, Lucy. We saw on the financial news that Mia's
35:14been found. We came all this way to visit.
35:17Appointment? We're Mia's family. Helena is my husband's own first cousin. What's wrong with us coming to see the child?
35:26What's the meaning of this? Kin of a billionaire turned away at the gate? If word gets out, that won't
35:31look good for the Arnold name.
35:33Who would have thought Mia's father turned out to be such a towering big shot? The master says, come in.
35:50Oh, my Mia, you've grown so big. The spitting image of Helena. You know, when Helena left us, we cried
35:57for days. My heart still aches to this very day.
36:00Yes, yes. We thought of this child day and night. We heard she'd been taken in by kind folks. We
36:05tried and tried to reach her, but could never find her.
36:10Now, Mr. Arnold, we came to see the child, of course. But there's also a little matter we'd like to
36:15discuss with you.
36:16We spent plenty caring for Helena, you know. All the years she stayed under arms, everything came out of pockets.
36:20Mia's her only daughter. Surely worth a compensation payment. Nothing much. Just 30 million dollars.
36:25Daddy, we never once lived at Uncle Charlie's house.
36:27Show them out.
36:29Wait, you can't do this. We're Mia's family. You're obstructing a family visit. Try us. We'll go to the press.
36:33We'll tell all of Wall Street.
36:34Go right ahead. As long as you can live with the consequences.
36:38Daddy, five years ago, Mom went to beg Uncle Charlie and Auntie Lucy, but she was terribly sick back then,
36:43and they threw her out.
36:45Lend me some money. Mia has a fever and I can't hold on anymore. I'll leave Mia in your care.
36:50I swear I'll pay you back.
36:52Who do you think you are? Dragging your sickly self around with a little burden in tow you think I
36:57can afford to feed you?
36:59Get out. Don't you die on my doorstep. You're bad luck.
37:07Christian, what gives you the right to hog Mia's guardianship all by yourself?
37:11Helena is my own first cousin. We are this child's rightful family.
37:15Exactly. He's nothing but an outsider. What gives him the right?
37:21The day my mother knelt in the snow begging you for money to see a doctor? Begging you to take
37:26me in? Have you forgotten how you threw us out?
37:28That's a load of rubbish. What snow? What borrowed money? What is a little brat like you know about anything?
37:33You ungrateful little beast.
37:35We came here with kind hearts and you repay us like this?
37:38Mr. Arnold, she was only two or three back then. Too young to remember anything. Don't believe a word a
37:43child says.
37:44You shoved my mother into the snow and slammed the door on her with the word get out.
37:48If you hadn't turned us away, Mom would never have had to send me to the Millers.
37:52Butler, show them out.
37:55Let go of us! We're family!
37:57The next time I see your faces, showing you out will be the least of your problems.
38:05Don't be scared. Daddy's here.
38:09Over the next decade, Arnold Capital will donate five billion dollars to global children's education.
38:17Everyone! Friends of the press, we accuse Christian Arnold. He is holding our niece Mia against his will, abusing his
38:24own family, refusing to let us see her.
38:26Christian is using his money and power to hog the child and keep her family away.
38:30Mr. Arnold, any response, sir? Is it true? Did you really seize custody of Mia?
38:35Forged legal documents. Malicious defamation. Disturbing the public order, Mr. Charlie. I will see you in court.
38:43And I will have Arnold's legal team pursue your forged authorization all the way to the end.
38:51Sir, the Charles' lawyer has filed a custody suit and they've launched a hashtag on social media.
38:56Arnold hoards the orphan. Views have already blown past a hundred million.
39:01Daddy, before Mom passed away, she left a letter.
39:05What letter?
39:06I remember. Mom said, she wrote everything down in it. How our cousin threw us out, how she entrusted me
39:12to the Millers,
39:13and how her last few tens of thousands of dollars all went to the Millers, hoping they'd raise me.
39:17That letter, and a few of Mom's belongings, have been locked in the drawer of their old house's bedroom all
39:22along.
39:23Send the legal team and the bodyguards to the Millers' old house. Retrieve that letter.
39:47I will take good care of you. I won't let your mother worry.
39:54Christian is hogging my niece's custody. We have Helena's authorization.
40:03Your Honor, the original of Miss Helena's handwritten will, along with an authoritative handwriting analysis report.
40:11And this is the FBI's handwriting analysis. The authorization the Charles' presented bears a forged signature.
40:18We have located Miss Helena's will. It records how the Charles' once shoved the gravely ill Helena and three-year
40:23-old Mia out their door.
40:24And how Helena, left with no choice, entrusted Mia to the Millers.
40:29The verdict. The defendants, Charlie and Lucy, guilty of forging legal documents and malicious extortion.
40:34The evidence is conclusive. Arrest them at once.
40:48Heard you got put away because of Christian?
40:50Yeah.
40:53I've got a way out of here.
40:57I kept a back-channel money route from before.
41:00Transfers through overseas shell companies. No one can trace it.
41:04I'm holding an old business document from Helena's family in Europe, her father's.
41:08It touches an undisclosed offshore trust fund.
41:10If I tamper with it, just a little, and pin it on Arnold?
41:14Say he used his dead wife's family to launder money?
41:18Next Wednesday, the prison factory has a fire drill.
41:20Then a batch of inmates gets transferred to the outside hospital for check-ups.
41:23We could slip in with them.
41:24I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.
41:35Here's what you asked for.
41:37I've tampered with the documents. Arnold's name is all over them now.
41:40Tomorrow morning, every financial outlet on the planet gets an anonymous tip.
41:44Christian, let's see you wiggle out of this one.
41:49Hello? I've got some dynamite dirt on Arnold Capital.
41:52At 9 this morning, the short sellers dumped on us hard, target our own Arnold Capital stock.
41:57At the same time, an anonymous leak dropped claiming we laundered money through dead wife Helena's family.
42:01It's everywhere now. We've verified it.
42:04The Helena family trust in the leaked documents is real, but the Arnold's involvement in money laundering part was doctored
42:09in afterward.
42:10Trace the money yet?
42:12Tracking it now, the shorts used three layers of offshore shells routing through seven or eight countries.
42:17But the blockchain trail has reached the final layer.
42:21Got it. The dark money ends up in two anonymous Swiss bank accounts.
42:26Account holders are Charlie and Miller.
42:29Aren't they serving time?
42:30Word from the prison. They broke out. Escaped the federal penitentiary three days ago.
42:38Then we turn their own play against them.
42:42You mean, they want to short us?
42:44Tell the trading desk to counter with bullish news and line up a buyback war chest in the tens of
42:49billions.
42:50Once they finish dumping and their positions are naked, we snap it all back up in one move and watch
42:55them get liquidated.
42:58They escaped once. There won't be a second time.
43:07Daddy, I couldn't sleep. So I was drawing.
43:16Why didn't you call me to come see?
43:18Daddy was working. I didn't want to bother you.
43:22There, there. Daddy's not tired.
43:26As long as Mia's by my side, no bad man in this world will ever hurt us.
43:46Down three points. The shorts are still dumping. Is our buyback capital ready?
43:49Release the bullish news. Buyback capital. Into the market. All of it.
43:57Arnold Capital announces a $50 billion investment in global clean energy.
44:01Projected annual returns above 20%. Margin call. The shorts are getting wiped out.
44:06They're down at least $3 billion. It's all over for them.
44:13Look, it's dropping again. This time we're going to make a killing.
44:17Once Christian's bankrupt, let's see how he ever...
44:20...
44:27...
44:30...
44:36Daddy, can I try riding on my own?
44:39Two laps. Give it a try.
44:46Next week's business schedule. Push half of it.
44:49Sir, next week there's...
44:50Push it off. I'm staying home with Mia.
44:52...
45:09Daddy, what is this?
45:12This is the company's net profit for the year.
45:14Every single number is a promise I'm making to Mia's future.
45:26You're even smarter than your mother. I'm so proud of you.
45:33So that's the daughter the Arnold's just got back. Eight years living with those people.
45:39Oh my, so this is little Mia. Adorable.
45:43Word is she was just brought back from...
45:45...a rather ordinary family.
45:47Exactly, exactly. Mr. Arnold does have a kind heart.
45:50But this child? She's hardly had any proper high society schooling, has she?
45:54Here at the Vanderbilt House, we hold ourselves to very exacting standards of etiquette.
45:59Miss Mia, can you tell me whose painting this is?
46:02This is Edouard Manet's The Pfeiffer, painted in 1866, now held at the Musée d'Orsay, though this one is
46:07a reproduction.
46:09The original's colors run richer, especially the brass glint on the fife. The reproduction never quite captured it.
46:14Then, do you know the difference between Manet and Monet?
46:18Monet founded Impressionism, he chased the fleeting play of light and shadow.
46:22Monet poviered Modernism, he chased composition and form.
46:25I would like to say that.
46:28Miss Mia, would you care to share the business ethics reasoning behind Arnold Capital's charitable giving this year?
46:33This year, our giving focuses on children's education in Africa and global clean energy.
46:38The core of business ethics isn't how much you give, it's whether the money actually solves the problem.
46:43Plenty of companies donate hundreds of millions just for the tax breaks or the PR, we're not like that.
46:48Every Arnold donation goes through an independent third-party audit, making sure every single dollar lands where it counts.
46:53And Daddy always says, wealth isn't for showing off, wealth is for creating value.
46:59Remarkable.
47:00Mr. Arnold, your daughter puts us old relics to shame.
47:10Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I have an announcement.
47:15Mia is the sole heir of me, Christian Arnold.
47:19Her will is the will of the Arnold family.
47:25Daddy, I won't let you down.
47:28Chloe, are those clothes done? Why is there still dust on the floor?
47:31Let me tell you something.
47:33You're still the little princess of the Miller house, eating and lazing around all day.
47:37You think it's easy keeping you fed?
47:40You finish the chores, then you eat.
47:47Did you hear me?
47:49I heard you, Auntie.
47:51Stop nagging.
47:53Why, why do I have to live like this?
47:56That little bitch Mia, why does she get everything?
47:59At last night's Wall Street annual charity gala, the Arnold family's eight-year-old heir, Mia Arnold, stunned the room
48:08with her astonishing eye for art and business acumen.
48:11Mia is my sole heir. Her will is the will of the Arnold family.
48:17Why, why do you get to shine like this now?
48:20Back then you were nothing but the doormat of my house.
48:23When you were scrubbing floors and toilets, I still-
48:30I won't let you get away with this, Mia.
48:33I won't let you get away with this.
48:39Let go of her.
48:40Mia, Mia, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I never should have smashed your violin.
48:46I never should have framed you.
48:48Never should have locked you in that room with those girls.
48:51I made them say those things about you.
48:54Please forgive me, Mia. Please.
49:03You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.
49:10School's out. I have my violin lesson.
49:32Mia, do you know when your birthday is?
49:38I-I don't know. The Millers never once gave me a birthday.
49:43Not even a cake
49:44It's alright
49:45Daddy will find it
49:51Sir, we've located the hospital where Miss Helena gave birth
49:54St. Mary's private hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side
49:56The hospital's old archives, the delivering doctor's records
49:59and Miss Helena admission file all confirm
50:01Miss Mia's birthday is March 15, 2018
50:11Get ready
50:12I'm throwing Mia the grandest birthday party there ever was
50:19Daddy, I'm so excited but also a little, a little bit nervous
50:23Are we there yet?
50:25We're here
50:28Daddy, it's so beautiful
50:33Mia, this is the first birthday that's ever truly been yours
50:38Thank you, Daddy
50:39From now on, Daddy is gonna give you back
50:42Every holiday you missed, doubled
50:45Daddy, Mia finally found you
50:48Mia loves you, loves you so, so much
50:52Don't cry
50:53Daddy loves you too
50:55From now on, Daddy will be there for every single one of your birthdays
51:04Send them out
51:04Every financial titan on Wall Street
51:07Every ambassador
51:08The Vanderbilts, the Kennedys, and the Royal Houses too
51:11Sir, these are for Mia
51:13I'm throwing a coronation of the century
51:15A public air ceremony
51:20Sir, the couturier worked through the night to finish it
51:25Perfect
51:31Mia, there's something Daddy needs to tell you
51:35Is, is this for me?
51:38Next month, the whole world will be watching you
51:40Mia Arnold, the little princess of Wall Street
51:45Thank you, Daddy
51:46Thank you, Daddy
52:02Ladies and gentlemen
52:04Today I am signing a document
52:11This agreement placed 30% of Arnold Capital's absolute core equity into the family trust
52:16To be formally inherited by Mia Arnold
52:19In the future
52:23Mia Arnold
52:24The one and only apple of my eye
52:27Christian Arnold
52:29And the sole heir of the Arnold family
52:34Hello, everyone
52:36I am Mia Arnold
52:44I used to
52:46Not even know my own birthday
52:49Never knew what cake tasted like
52:51Never even knew what it felt like to be loved
52:54It was Daddy who pulled me out of the darkness
52:56And gave me the deepest love in the whole world
52:59I will study hard
53:01Grow up well
53:02And live up to Daddy's expectations
53:05And to the honor of the Arnold family
53:16Mom, do you see it?
53:19I'm happy now
53:20Truly happy
53:22Hope the storyteller
53:22Because I love you
53:22I love you
