Time To Show My Dark Side

Short filmTranscript
00:00:01My name was Cadence Chase. In the shadows, I was the kingdom's first ghost healer, and no one had ever
00:00:09seen my true face.
00:00:11In public, I was the wife of Franklin, commander of the Holy Knights, but my husband had never been kind
00:00:17to me.
00:00:17Your jealousy is sick. You have to be insane to push a woman who can't swim into the deep end.
00:00:22You don't know. Actually, I'm also afraid of water.
00:00:27You wear the sacred pring baptism medal around your neck. How could someone blessed by holy water be afraid of
00:00:34it? Stop playing the victim with me!
00:00:41Don't be mad at her, Franklin. It's not Cadence's fault. I just... I slipped.
00:00:47If you ever lay a hand on Isabelle again, I will initiate divorce proceedings before you can blink, and the
00:00:53prenup.
00:00:54The second I sign those papers, Chase's family loses all protection from my family.
00:01:01Three years of silence. All I got in return was him holding another woman in his arms.
00:01:08Have the medical team meet us in the guest suite.
00:01:27Prepare the papers. I want a divorce.
00:01:35I had spent three years thinking I could forget that river. I was wrong.
00:01:40I was wrong.
00:01:42I was wrong.
00:01:52I was wrong.
00:01:55I was wrong.
00:02:07Franklin, my head is spinning so badly.
00:02:10I'm coming right now.
00:02:13Every time he walked away, it felt like being cut with a dull knife.
00:02:17But not this time.
00:02:19I wouldn't let him hurt me anymore.
00:02:25You will apologize to Isabelle tomorrow morning.
00:02:30What kind of game are you playing now?
00:02:33I am leaving with nothing.
00:02:34I just want to terminate this disgusting arrangement immediately.
00:02:38If you walk out that door, I will cut off all funding to the Chase family by tomorrow noon.
00:02:44What happens to the Chase family is none of your concern.
00:02:49You are out of your mind.
00:02:50If you walk out of this house, don't you ever think about crawling back.
00:02:56As you wish.
00:03:01Franklin had once told the entire high society that this sculpture symbolized our marriage, pure and unbreakable.
00:03:28Have the formal divorce agreement on Franklin Mueller's desk by 8 a.m.
00:03:33No mediation.
00:03:40Boss, the Chase manor has been cleared.
00:03:42No one will track your movements.
00:03:44Do you need the medical team on standby for the water exposure?
00:03:48No.
00:03:49Drive straight to the Moon Shadow Atelier.
00:03:53I needed someone.
00:03:55Someone who could permanently erase the humiliating scar burning on my back.
00:04:21Look who finally decided to break out of the golden cage.
00:04:24Jet Marlant was the most skilled alchemetic tattooist in the kingdom.
00:04:29He was also one of my most trusted informants in the Shadow Courier.
00:04:37Who did this?
00:04:38The price of a stupid mistake.
00:04:40Erase it.
00:04:42Covering scar tissue this deep, the pain is going to be ten times worse.
00:04:46Pain is exactly what I need right now.
00:04:49With every drag of the needle, the memory of that frozen river, that rusted blade, that darkness, was being squeezed
00:04:56out of my flesh.
00:05:03Do you want me to put the word out?
00:05:05Tell the underground you're back?
00:05:08Keep it quiet.
00:05:10I have a game to play first.
00:05:17Sir, this just arrived via courier from Elena Rostovov's firm.
00:05:22It's the formal petition for divorce.
00:05:25Emerging from the cocoon was always painful.
00:05:28But from now on, I would fly for myself.
00:05:35Julian was one of Franklin's closest friends.
00:05:39He was reckless, but he had the instincts of a beast.
00:05:43You look like a gambler who just lost his whole estate.
00:05:46How did that little pool drama end last night?
00:05:49I threw that vicious woman out.
00:05:52Do you mean Cadence?
00:05:53She shoved Isabel into the water, got caught red-handed, then tried to act like the victim.
00:05:57Now she's vanished and filing for divorce.
00:06:00She's just trying to get me to give in.
00:06:01For three years, all she's wanted is for me to turn around and look at her.
00:06:05She's playing hard to get, but she picked the wrong man.
00:06:11I was the one who jumped into the pool last night.
00:06:14I pulled Cadence out.
00:06:16What are you talking about?
00:06:17Isabel was the one drowning.
00:06:19Isabel was splashing around in the shallow end.
00:06:21Cadence sank straight to the bottom.
00:06:24That wasn't an act.
00:06:25She is absolutely terrified of the water.
00:06:28She wears the sacred pring baptism model around her neck.
00:06:31How could someone blessed by holy water be afraid of it?
00:06:34She's just a great actress.
00:06:35That's odd.
00:06:36But here's what really confuses me.
00:06:39Why does Cadence mimic Isabel's aquaphebia?
00:06:42Everyone knows Isabel developed it after she pulled you from the sighing river four years ago.
00:06:48Why aren't you resting at home?
00:06:49For the first time, doubt about Isabel crapped into his mind.
00:06:53But what he didn't realize was that the very metal he used to humiliate me was the chain that kept
00:06:58him blind to the truth.
00:07:24The grand banquet for my 80th birthday is this weekend.
00:07:28Every old money family in the kingdom will be there.
00:07:31You will arrive on time and Cadence will be on your arm.
00:07:35Cadence is indisposed at the moment.
00:07:38I don't care.
00:07:39Don't let Isabel ruin this family's name.
00:07:41Cadence is the only one who belongs beside you.
00:07:46Where is my wife?
00:07:47Sir, we can't find her.
00:07:49The moment she left the estate, every section of the crystal on her roof was widened by some master shadow
00:07:54mage.
00:07:55It's like she vanished into thin air.
00:07:58Cadence, wherever you are hiding, I will drag you out.
00:08:01What he didn't know was that my true identity was far more dangerous than he could ever imagine.
00:08:11Kenzie Garner was my close friend.
00:08:13A wealthy heiress who was never afraid of getting into trouble and willing to stick with me.
00:08:23The scapting crystals picked up no sign of her.
00:08:26We can only hope someone has seen her.
00:08:29Cadence would never step foot in a place like...
00:08:33In that moment, I decided to show him exactly what he had lost.
00:08:38Mrs. Muller, out for a little fun by yourself?
00:08:41There is no Mrs. Muller.
00:08:46I finally dumped that jerk.
00:08:50Not now.
00:08:52Everyone's watching.
00:08:54To freedom!
00:08:55To leaving that bastard behind!
00:08:58To freedom.
00:09:13Why don't we take this up to a private suite?
00:09:23Are you trying to piss me off?
00:09:25Throwing yourself at garbage like Hunter?
00:09:27At least Hunter knows how to please a woman.
00:09:30Not like you.
00:09:32Worshipping some pathetic liar.
00:09:35Enough of this tantrum.
00:09:36Come home.
00:09:37Or I will crush the Chase family into dust.
00:09:41Dream on.
00:09:48Don't go.
00:09:50He's completely unhinged.
00:09:53Let me go.
00:09:58This is my wife.
00:09:59Anyone who looks at her again will lose their eyes.
00:10:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:10:15Why are you doing this?
00:10:17Cutting your hypocritical family out of my life is absolutely the right decision.
00:10:22For the first time in three years, I can breathe fresh air.
00:10:25It's called a rebirth!
00:10:27You don't get a rebirth unless I allow it.
00:10:34Don't you ever kiss me with the same mouth you use on that liar.
00:10:38You make me sick.
00:10:39Stay away from me, ex-husband.
00:10:41Or I will ruin you.
00:10:50Boss, you're bleeding out.
00:10:51Patch it in the carriage.
00:10:52We're done here.
00:10:54He stood there, his lips trembling, but no words came.
00:10:57Maybe he finally understood that I no longer belonged to him.
00:11:01But pride got in the way.
00:11:02He just couldn't bring himself to plea.
00:11:14Oddly, my heart didn't even skip a beat.
00:11:21Dad.
00:11:22The Royal Charity Gala is tonight at the palace.
00:11:24Every major house will be there.
00:11:26Go.
00:11:27Not to prove anything to them, but to remind yourself that you never truly lost who you are.
00:11:47The weak, pathetic Mrs. Muller was dead.
00:11:59This was my signature tool as the kingdom's first healer.
00:12:03In the underground black market, they called me, the ghost healer, Franklin and that scheming
00:12:08bitch would also be there tonight.
00:12:11But I wasn't the prey anymore.
00:12:13I would walk into that ballroom with a scalpel, ready to cut the rot out of their crooked little world.
00:12:40Cadence.
00:12:47Cadence.
00:12:49You finally took off the nun's habit.
00:12:51Welcome back to the land of the living, my queen.
00:12:57Behave yourself tonight.
00:12:59I have actual work to do.
00:13:27Is this why you couldn't wait to file the divorce?
00:13:29To climb into another man's bed?
00:13:41None of your business.
00:13:49Cadence, where did you find this... new friend?
00:13:52You really shouldn't bring strangers to such an exclusive event.
00:13:55Your wealth couldn't buy you a throne in Lumina.
00:13:59Jean-Luc, keep your underground games to yourself.
00:14:02What kind of leverage did she use to get you to play her guard?
00:14:06Mr. Muller, I have enough loose change in my pockets to buy out three of your overseas trading fleets before
00:14:12breakfast.
00:14:15Isabelle is not just my date tonight.
00:14:17She is the one I'll protect for the rest of my life.
00:14:21She will be the next Mrs. Muller.
00:14:24Congratulations.
00:14:26Birds of a feather flock together.
00:14:29He thought announcing his engagement would break me.
00:14:32What he didn't know was that I had already buried everything about him at the bottom of the Signing River.
00:14:46The rotation speed on this cranial drill is too high.
00:14:49The sanctified probe will burn the nerve before you even reach the lesion.
00:14:57Walter, a wealthy merchant, was lying on the floor, struggling to breathe.
00:15:01His business partner, Quentin Shaw, was panicking, completely at a loss.
00:15:17I know a bit of healing. Let me help.
00:15:21Stop. He is not in cardiac arrest.
00:15:24Chest compressions will kill him.
00:15:26Shut your mouth!
00:15:27You're just a new money upstart who schemed her way into the Muller family.
00:15:32Get out of the way!
00:15:37Cadence, this is not the time for your theatrics.
00:15:39Let the professionals handle it.
00:15:41In that moment, I finally realized something.
00:15:44He would rather believe an actress's lies than trust his own wife.
00:15:53He has died.
00:16:04Dad!
00:16:06Who did this?
00:16:08She didn't...
00:16:10She broke his ribs.
00:16:14I didn't know.
00:16:16I was just trying to help.
00:16:19Back off, Leland.
00:16:21Isabella is under my protection.
00:16:27The airway is completely locked.
00:16:29I cannot cast the breath-opening spell.
00:16:32Then cut his throat!
00:16:33I can't!
00:16:35No sanctified field, no alchemical tools.
00:16:38A blind cut could sever his artery.
00:16:40He'll bleed out.
00:16:40He has less than two minutes!
00:16:46If you don't want him to die, get the hell out of my way.
00:16:49Hey.
00:16:54In this moment, I shed my disguise.
00:16:57I was not Mrs. Muller.
00:16:59I was not a noble lady.
00:17:01I was the ghost healer.
00:17:09Take one more step, and his brain death is on your hands.
00:17:35He stood there watching me.
00:17:36He finally saw what I could truly do, but it was far too late.
00:17:47Save him.
00:17:49Please, you have to save him.
00:17:59Vitals are stabilizing.
00:18:01He's out of danger.
00:18:04Who did this?
00:18:06Which attending physician is in this room?
00:18:11Healer!
00:18:13She doesn't even have a physician's medallion.
00:18:15She just hacked into his neck with a skeppel.
00:18:17Are you insane?
00:18:18No sanctified field, no scumming crystals, no alchemical tools.
00:18:22Finding the psych-thyreite muscle in under 60 seconds?
00:18:25This is true skill.
00:18:27The incision bypassed the artery perfectly.
00:18:29The depth control is flawless.
00:18:30Though I have 30 years of experience, I would not have dared to make that blind cut.
00:18:37Madam, if it weren't for your textbook execution,
00:18:40Mr. Kendrick would be in a body bag right now.
00:18:54Who performed chest pressures on him, three ribs shattered, one shard is a hair's brinkth from piercing his lung.
00:19:01The person nearly killed him before he even suffocated.
00:19:07The Perez family will pay for this.
00:19:09I will destroy you!
00:19:21Please, we would be honored to have you guest lecture at the Royal Healers Hall.
00:19:26I saved him out of mercy, not for reward.
00:19:28If I have the time, my assistant might reach out.
00:19:31They finally saw me, but this was only my first step.
00:19:38Mr. Shaw.
00:19:45Are you leaving so soon?
00:19:47Just a few minutes ago, you called me a new money upstart who schemed her way into the Mueller family.
00:19:52Mrs. Mueller, Cadence.
00:19:54I was panicked.
00:19:55I didn't know what I was saying.
00:19:57Please forgive my foolishness.
00:19:58Your arrogance almost cost your partner his life.
00:20:02Effective Monday morning, the Chase Medical Guild will permanently sever the supply of all high-grade healing elixirs to the
00:20:08Shaw Hospital Network.
00:20:10Please!
00:20:11I was wrong!
00:20:13I am a fool!
00:20:14Please, don't destroy my hospital.
00:20:19That's for the last three years of you sneering at my father in the Physician's Council.
00:20:27Franklin, let's go.
00:20:29Everyone is looking at us.
00:20:39He was coming after me, but this time, I wouldn't look back.
00:20:50Cadence.
00:20:52Keep your hands off me, or I will break your fingers.
00:20:57I admit it.
00:20:58I've underestimated you.
00:21:00You've proven your value.
00:21:02We're calling off the divorce.
00:21:04Come back to the Mueller estate.
00:21:05I will double your shares in the holding company.
00:21:08I will give you a permanent seat on the family council.
00:21:10Do you honestly think that everything in this world has a price tag attached to it?
00:21:16So why did you save Walter?
00:21:18Trying to win over the Kendricks?
00:21:20Building your own connections before our divorce is finalized?
00:21:23I saved that man because I am a healer.
00:21:26I showed you my ability to prove that you are a blind, arrogant fool.
00:21:32You don't want me back because you love me.
00:21:36You want me back because your fragile male pride is terrified that I don't need you.
00:21:44If I don't sign those papers, you are never getting out of this marriage.
00:21:49Didn't you check your desk this morning?
00:21:51Elena's filing is already on it.
00:22:02If you get in that carriage, I will wipe the Chase family off the map.
00:22:08Try me.
00:22:10He meant what he said, but he forgot one thing.
00:22:14I had nothing left to lose.
00:22:23Do you want me to have my people dispose of this trash for you?
00:22:37Let me go!
00:22:39You are my wife.
00:22:41If you die, you die in the Muller family graveyard.
00:22:54You are declaring war on every trading fleet on the continent, Muller!
00:22:58This is Lumina.
00:22:59Even the gods follow my rules here.
00:23:04Put me down, you lunatic!
00:23:16There it was again.
00:23:18He had locked me in a cage once more.
00:23:20But this time, I was the one holding the key.
00:23:24Let go of me, you bastard!
00:23:26You make me sick!
00:23:29Stop fighting me.
00:23:31Or I swear, I will do something in this carriage that we both regret.
00:23:35You are nothing but a coward.
00:23:37You solve everything with force because you can't face losing.
00:23:48Don't touch me.
00:23:50I'm not Isabelle.
00:23:51I don't need you to fuss over a cut.
00:24:04Hold still.
00:24:06You're wasting your time.
00:24:08Your guilt means nothing to me.
00:24:11I'm sorry.
00:24:13Late affection is cheaper than dirt.
00:24:16Hate me all you want.
00:24:17But tomorrow night is my grandmother's 80th birthday.
00:24:19We're having a banquet.
00:24:20I am taking you with me.
00:24:22And I am going to show everyone that you are the only Mrs. Muller.
00:24:29You will be at my grandmother's birthday banquet tomorrow night.
00:24:33You will stand by my side.
00:24:35The land tax review season is starting.
00:24:38Muller family credit is volatile.
00:24:40A divorce would wipe a fortune off your house.
00:24:43You don't want a wife.
00:24:44You want a shield for the family council.
00:24:46Protecting this family's legacy is my responsibility.
00:24:49You are my wife.
00:24:51Obeying is your duty.
00:25:08Thirty minutes ago, exactly when Franklin had disappeared from the ballroom after the medical emergency,
00:25:13before he dragged me out of the ballroom.
00:25:17What tantrum is this now?
00:25:19Keep your crocodile tears and your cheap bandages.
00:25:22You make me sick.
00:25:26Don't touch me with the same hands you used to hold her.
00:25:42Cadence!
00:25:49Open the door!
00:25:50It's a lie!
00:25:51I wasn't at the infirmary!
00:25:53He shouted until his voice broke.
00:25:55But behind that door, I could no longer hear him.
00:25:58Or perhaps, I no longer wanted to.
00:26:07My lawyer will file this with the royal court this afternoon.
00:26:12Unilateral, contested divorce.
00:26:13Are you out of your mind?
00:26:16You're declaring war on me during the review season?
00:26:19I don't care about that.
00:26:20I want the divorce.
00:26:22And the black velvet box in your safe.
00:26:24Until the decree is signed, you're not taking a single thing out of this estate.
00:26:28Open the safe.
00:26:30Or by tomorrow morning, the Merchant Guild will receive an anonymous tip about your Ove Sears merchant banks complete with
00:26:37ledgers.
00:26:38Your choice.
00:26:39How could you possibly know about this?
00:26:41These ledgers are known only to my treasurer and two trusted men!
00:26:44It's not as buried as you'd like.
00:26:48Trying to prove your loyalty to Jean-Luc by Erase Me?
00:26:54Cadence!
00:26:58Look at yourself.
00:27:00A rabid dog guarding a bone you don't even want to eat.
00:27:03Pathetic.
00:27:11If it means that much to you, dig it out of the trash.
00:27:15The memories I have of you are worth exactly that price.
00:27:20Remember how high and mighty you are right now, Franklin?
00:27:23You'll regret it.
00:27:26He thought he had humiliated me.
00:27:29He didn't know that he had just handed me the key to unlock my cage.
00:27:44My poor girl.
00:27:46The entire liquid capital of the Chase family is mobilized.
00:27:51Every connection, every favor, at your disposal.
00:27:57I will handle him, Dad.
00:27:59This is the plan.
00:28:01Since Franklin dared to humiliate you publicly,
00:28:04we will sever his entire potion supply chain during the banquet tomorrow night.
00:28:09Bleed his family dry.
00:28:15The strategy is too conservative.
00:28:18Don't just cut the supply chain.
00:28:19Short the subcubsidiary simultaneously.
00:28:22Force a margin call on his overseas merchant banks.
00:28:31Excuse me, Dad.
00:28:44What's up?
00:28:45Boss, the Shadow Korea's core is under attack.
00:28:47The European cartels you angered have pooled their resources.
00:28:50They've hired the best codebreakers to brute force our dormant dark crystals.
00:28:53The wards are collapsing.
00:28:55If they breach the final layer, your identity will be exposed.
00:28:58The entire continent will know Cadence Chase is M.
00:29:00Initiate the self-destruct sequence.
00:29:03I'll link my consciousness directly and rebuild the core wards.
00:29:07You can't do it remotely!
00:29:09To wake the dormant core, you need the physical master key.
00:29:12The metal badge!
00:29:18Franklin is not at home.
00:29:20I have three hours free.
00:29:45The moment I stepped into the study, I knew this night would not go smoothly.
00:30:03Well, well. Look who came crawling back. Did you come to beg Franklin to take you back?
00:30:08I didn't realize the Perez family was so bankrupt. Their daughter has to dig through another woman's closet to find
00:30:13something to wear.
00:30:14This robe belongs to the lady of this house. And soon, that will be me. Franklin told me to make
00:30:21myself at home.
00:30:22He's tired of you. This place is mine now.
00:30:30Oh my god, you actually came back to dig through the garbage?
00:30:34Did Franklin throw your little trinket away? Does it hurt to know he doesn't give a damn about you?
00:30:42If you ever come near Franklin again, I will ruin you.
00:30:53The next time you point that finger at me, you won't get it back.
00:30:59She laid there, seething with hatred and shame. But I didn't care. I had my key.
00:31:12Let go. Don't make me use force.
00:31:16Do you really think you won?
00:31:20Hillary, cancel the overseas follow-up. I need a drink.
00:31:28Cadence, no! Please!
00:31:38Isabelle!
00:31:44She... she pushed me. It hurts. Franklin, it hurts so much.
00:31:55He was coming. With his rage, his misunderstanding, his loyalty that always picked the wrong person.
00:32:03What the hell did you do?
00:32:08I walk in, and she's bleeding on my floor!
00:32:11Is this your revenge?
00:32:13You are a blind fool. Check your own Skynink warts.
00:32:30From this second forward, we are nothing but enemies.
00:32:41Franklin, please, help me.
00:32:54Cadence, no! Please!
00:33:00He finally saw the truth.
00:33:03But it was already too late to undo anything.
00:33:06I walk in, and I'm in, and she sat through it.
00:33:47Who did that to you?
00:33:49Save it for later. We have a job to do.
00:33:52They breached the outer ward.
00:33:53We have less than 60 seconds where they bypass the core encryption.
00:33:57I need the key.
00:34:19Access granted. Welcome back, M.
00:34:22Wards reset. I'm locking them out. Burning their dark crystals.
00:34:27Open the highest tier global broadcast channel. Encrypt it. Send it to every syndicate boss and every shadow broker.
00:34:34A global ping? They'll all know you're active.
00:34:40That is the point. I am back, M.
00:34:43The European cartels that tried to break us, drain their accounts, send their ledgers to the Royal Merchant Guild.
00:34:54Done.
00:34:57What about the Moola family? What do we do about Franklin?
00:35:03Franklin loves his empire, so we are going to burn it to the ground.
00:35:29Sir.
00:35:31Go ahead.
00:35:32Miss Perez has been admitted to the Muller private infirmary.
00:35:35But she is screaming at the staff. She is demanding the Royal Guard.
00:35:39She wants to press attempted murder charges against Mrs. Chase.
00:35:44Let her call them.
00:35:46My God.
00:35:49Sir, where are you going?
00:35:51There are rumors that M, the Master of the Shadow Curia, has returned.
00:35:54The Council needs you.
00:35:59Seal the floor.
00:36:01No one in or out, without my authorization.
00:36:19Franklin! You came! I was so scared! Cadence is a monster!
00:36:25Why are you looking at me like that? She tried to kill me.
00:36:31No. That's... that's fake.
00:36:36You made me put my hands on my wife.
00:36:40You are done.
00:36:42Tomorrow morning, the Mullah family will sever all financial ties with the Perez family.
00:36:46Your father's trading company will be bankrupt by noon.
00:36:51You will be permanently blacklisted from high society.
00:36:54You can't do this to me!
00:36:56I saved your life!
00:36:58Four years ago!
00:37:00In the Signing River!
00:37:02I jumped into the freezing water!
00:37:04I fought off those heretics!
00:37:05I almost died for you!
00:37:09You owe me your life, Franklin!
00:37:11You can't destroy me!
00:37:26Fifty million gold coins?
00:37:30Here.
00:37:31This makes us even for saving my life.
00:37:35From this second forward, if you ever speak Cadence name again,
00:37:40I will crush you and your family into dust.
00:37:58What the hell did you do?!
00:38:11I walked into the Noble Club.
00:38:13Eleonora, Franklin's grandmother, was hosting her 80th birthday banquet.
00:38:18The hall was packed with the kingdom's most powerful nobles,
00:38:21all buzzing with whispered rumors.
00:38:23The master of the shadow curia, M, had returned.
00:38:26Arthur Finch was the chief advisor to the royal treasury,
00:38:29and Eleonora's most trusted financier.
00:38:33Cadence, the Chase family looks strong tonight.
00:38:36Have you heard the rumors? M is back?
00:38:44Boss, I've activated the dormant curse you planted four years ago.
00:38:48One time bypass of their primary wards.
00:38:50We have a 30 second window to hit their core treasury before the wards seal themselves.
00:38:59Execute.
00:38:59He loved his fortune.
00:39:01So I was going to let him watch it all burn to ash.
00:39:07Money is everything.
00:39:09You're right, my dear. You look stunning tonight.
00:39:11Allow me to introduce David Foster, the royal healer's executive officer.
00:39:21Ma'am, your father's surgical devices are making waves.
00:39:25We were just discussing sanctified probes.
00:39:27By the way, the European syndicates are in a frenzy.
00:39:31They're looking for the elixir of life.
00:39:34Have you heard of it?
00:39:35They say it can cure heart failure.
00:39:37Eleonora just turned 80 tonight.
00:39:39Her heart is failing.
00:39:40The European cartels are desperately searching for it,
00:39:43hoping to offer it as tribute to the Mullahs.
00:39:45The rumor is, it's in the possession of M, the master of the Shadow Curia.
00:39:49Cadence, your family deals in alchemical recipes and healing secrets.
00:39:53Have you heard anything?
00:39:54Who has the elixir?
00:39:56I'm afraid you are chasing shadows, David.
00:39:58I have never heard of an elixir.
00:40:00And even if M possesses it,
00:40:01I highly doubt a simple healer like me would be privy to such secrets.
00:40:05Well, if the Chase family hasn't heard of it, it truly is untouchable.
00:40:15Excuse me.
00:40:16Hmm.
00:40:22Cadence.
00:40:25Stop.
00:40:27Look around you.
00:40:28Half the nobility is watching.
00:40:30This is Eleonora's banquet, not your private chamber.
00:40:33Keep your dignity.
00:40:39Chet Kowalski, a nouveau riche merchant who made his fortune in smuggling.
00:40:43Excuse me.
00:40:45Don't go, Mrs. Nulla.
00:40:47I heard some rumors.
00:40:49Step aside, Mr. Kowalski, or you will lose your entire fortune.
00:40:53You're nothing now.
00:40:55Just used up trash.
00:40:57I bet you're desperate for a new sponsor.
00:41:00Come here, you little bitch.
00:41:20How dare you hit me?
00:41:28I'm going to kill you.
00:41:30No!
00:41:37It was Franklin.
00:41:41Take your hand off my wife.
00:41:43Mr. Muller.
00:41:44Listen, it's a misunderstanding.
00:42:14Franklin, stop!
00:42:15You're going to kill him!
00:42:38Good God.
00:42:39Franklin, what happened here?
00:42:41Mr. Kowalski consumed a lethal amount of illegal dark modics.
00:42:45He suffered a psychotic break. He tripped and fell against your stone wall.
00:42:51If a single word of this reaches anyone, if anyone suggests that my wife was involved, I will dismantle this
00:42:58club stone by stone.
00:42:59Do you understand me, Arthur?
00:43:01Yes. Yes, of course. A tragic drug overdosed. We will handle it immediately.
00:43:10He stood there, his hands covered in blood, looking at me, as if expecting a thank you, as if finally
00:43:17seeing what kind of monster he really was.
00:43:23Wipe your hands, Mr. Moolah. You are dripping on Arthur's carpet.
00:43:28Cadence, I saw the footage. I saw Isabelle throw herself down the stairs. I know she lied. I know everything.
00:43:35I was blind. I was a fool. Just give me a chance to fix this.
00:43:40So you watched a clip. You realized you were wrong.
00:43:45You beat a man half to death to feel like a man again.
00:43:49Then you apologize. You aren't apologizing to me, Franklin. You are apologizing to yourself.
00:43:56You are trying to scrub the guilt off your own conscience because you can't handle the fact that you choked
00:44:01your innocent wife for a liar.
00:44:03That's not...
00:44:04I don't care about your apologies. Your remorse means nothing to me because I do not love you anymore.
00:44:12You are nothing to me.
00:44:17Don't say that. You are my wife. We are not done.
00:44:22Did you tell Isabelle we were done when you ran to her infirmary bed to comfort her?
00:44:26How much did it cost to buy your consciences this time?
00:44:30Tens of millions? A hundred million?
00:44:38Keep your money. Keep your guilt. And keep your hands off me.
00:44:47He was coming after me again. But this time, I wouldn't stop.
00:45:05Get out.
00:45:10Tell me how to fix it. Tell me what you want. Gold? Estates? Or should I destroy the Perez family?
00:45:18Name your request.
00:45:20But you are not leaving me.
00:45:23I want a time wandering so I can go back three years and stop myself from wasting my youth on
00:45:30a blind, arrogant fool.
00:45:47You are disgusting. You run to her infirmary, pay her off, and then come back and try to force yourself
00:45:54on me.
00:45:56Like an animal in heat. Tomorrow morning, nine o'clock. Elena Rostava's law firm. Bring your pen.
00:46:06He sat there, like a hollowed out shell. But I had no strength left to pity him. Not anymore.
00:46:17Your wife's teeth are quite sharp. That needs stitches.
00:46:22Shut your mouth. I'm in no mood for this.
00:46:25What was that out there? You beat a man into a coma. You chased your wife like a stalker.
00:46:32Are you trying to protect your ego or are you finally admitting you don't want this divorce?
00:46:36I want the divorce. I am sick of her lies.
00:46:42I just won't let her walk away thinking she won. I won't let Jean-Luc touch her.
00:46:49You don't care about winning.
00:46:52You looked at her in that hallway like a starving dog guarding a bone.
00:46:56Watch your mouth.
00:46:58Tomorrow at nine, you sign the paper. By nine o'clock, she is a free woman.
00:47:04Tomorrow night, she will be sitting at another man's table.
00:47:08By midnight, another man will undress her.
00:47:11Can you handle that, Franklin?
00:47:16What's wrong?
00:47:17Sir, Miss Perez discharged herself from the infirmary.
00:47:20She is in the main lobby, screaming at the guards, demanding to see you.
00:47:23Bring her to the top floor private lounge.
00:47:26Keep her away from everyone.
00:47:31He was rushing to see his savior.
00:47:34He didn't know.
00:47:35He was walking himself right into the abyss.
00:47:47Franklin!
00:47:51Sit down.
00:47:52Sit down.
00:47:57The whole city is talking.
00:47:59You beat a man half to death because he looked at Cadence.
00:48:03Tell me it isn't true.
00:48:05Tell me you didn't forget who saved your life.
00:48:07I hit him because he assaulted a representative of the Muller family.
00:48:11It had nothing to do with Cadence.
00:48:14What is that?
00:48:16She bit you?
00:48:17Were you kissing that bitch?
00:48:21Watch your tone.
00:48:22Until the documents are signed, Cadence is still my wife.
00:48:27You will not disrespect her.
00:48:31Mobilize the entire reserve fund.
00:48:34Initiate a hostile takeover of Chet's trading company.
00:48:36I want him bankrupt.
00:48:37Yes, sir.
00:48:38When will she be gone?
00:48:40Franklin, when will you be free?
00:48:43Tomorrow morning.
00:48:44Nine o'clock.
00:48:46Elena Rostova's law firm.
00:48:48I am signing the papers.
00:48:49I will come with you.
00:48:51No.
00:48:53You will stay in your apartment.
00:49:06He had backed himself into a corner.
00:49:08For a lie, he was about to sign his own ruin with his own hand.
00:49:20To freedom.
00:49:21Thank you, Mom and Dad.
00:49:23Elena sent the confirmation.
00:49:25Tomorrow morning at nine.
00:49:27Then you will never have to look at that blind fool again.
00:49:37Excuse me.
00:49:51Boss, the black market is in chaos.
00:49:53Your broadcast worked.
00:49:55But the bounty for the elixir just broke the ceiling.
00:49:58The Perez family placed an anonymous bid for two billion gold coins.
00:50:03Update the bounty.
00:50:04M does not accept gold.
00:50:06State that the elixir will only be traded for the controlling shares of the Perez family's alchemical research labs.
00:50:18Everyone was searching frantically for the elixir, and it was right here in my hands.
00:50:24Eleven hours remained until I signed those divorce papers.
00:50:27By then, I would shed the title of the holy knight's commander's wife.
00:50:33And then, as M, I would burn Franklin's world to ash.
00:50:39You are walking away with nothing.
00:50:42No assets, no compensation.
00:50:44I have never seen a nobleman's wife demand so little.
00:50:47I don't want his money.
00:50:49I just want my freedom.
00:50:53Madam heard the rumors from last night.
00:50:55She is on her way to the Muller estate with her guards.
00:50:58She wants to see for herself that you two are fine.
00:51:01If she discovers the divorce, her heart won't withstand it.
00:51:07Cancel the signing.
00:51:08I have to go.
00:51:09If you walk out now, his lawyers will claim bad faith.
00:51:13A woman's life is on the line.
00:51:19I am not late.
00:51:21It's 9-0-2.
00:51:23What are you doing?
00:51:24The divorce is cancelled.
00:51:26Your grandmother is searching your estate.
00:51:28If she finds out, we are divorcing.
00:51:31Your heart is stuck.
00:51:32We have 15 minutes to get back and pretend we are madly in love.
00:51:37Take off the coat and the tie.
00:51:40Unbutton the top three buttons of your shirt.
00:51:43You don't look like you spent a lazy morning with your wife.
00:51:49Is this a game?
00:51:51Delaying the signing?
00:51:53Extorting more assets?
00:51:55You think I want to be trapped in a carriage with you?
00:51:57If you hadn't beaten a man half to death in public last night,
00:52:00the rumors wouldn't have reached Eleonora.
00:52:02This is your fault.
00:52:04I am just trying to keep her alive.
00:52:20It's...
00:52:21Eleonora!
00:52:22What are you doing here?
00:52:24Franklin and I just got back from a walk in the Royal Gardens.
00:52:27We didn't know you were coming.
00:52:30You should have called.
00:52:31A walk?
00:52:32Then why is half the nobility whispering that my grandson is signing divorce papers this morning?
00:52:38What is that?
00:52:42The divorce rumors are a smoke sheen, Grandma.
00:52:45We leaked them to distract the Vanguard contortion.
00:52:47As for this,
00:52:49Cadence and I had a rather passionate disagreement last night about the leak.
00:52:53You know how she is.
00:52:54Young couple's passion.
00:52:56Fine.
00:52:57I believe you.
00:52:58But the council won't.
00:53:01To prove this marriage is solid,
00:53:03Cadence,
00:53:03you will move back into this estate immediately.
00:53:06Eleonora,
00:53:07you will live together until the annual Muller Charity Gala next week.
00:53:12You will attend it together.
00:53:14You will sleep in the same bed.
00:53:16Of course, Grandma.
00:53:23The cage had closed again,
00:53:25but this time,
00:53:26I had no intention of being a well-behaved wife.
00:53:34The reputation of this family rests on your shoulders,
00:53:37Cadence.
00:53:39You are the lady of this house.
00:53:41I will not allow any cheap women to ruin the Muller name.
00:53:45Do you understand?
00:53:48I understand,
00:53:49Eleonora.
00:53:59Great acting,
00:54:00Cadence.
00:54:01When did you call her?
00:54:02How much did you exaggerate the rumors to get her here from across the continent?
00:54:06Last night?
00:54:07Or did you plan this the moment I handed you the papers?
00:54:11You have quite an imagination.
00:54:13Do you think everyone in the world is calculating how to squeeze more gold out of you?
00:54:17Brilliant strategy.
00:54:19As long as we don't sign the papers,
00:54:21you remain Mrs. Muller.
00:54:23You keep the power and status of my family.
00:54:26You wear that brooch and play the victim,
00:54:28manipulating everyone around you.
00:54:30You are absolutely right.
00:54:35I orchestrated the entire thing.
00:54:38I want the power.
00:54:40I want the status.
00:54:42And most importantly,
00:54:43I want to make sure that you
00:54:44and your pathetic little mistress
00:54:46never get a single day of peace.
00:54:49Do not play games with me.
00:54:51You are playing with fire.
00:54:53And I will burn you to the ground.
00:54:58He thought I cared about the power and status.
00:55:01He didn't know that I no longer cared about him at all.
00:55:05Sir, I checked your wife's communication logs,
00:55:08the messaging towers near the estate,
00:55:09the encrypted channels.
00:55:10Nothing.
00:55:11Her records are clean.
00:55:13No contact with Eleonora.
00:55:14Keep digging.
00:55:15Sir, look at today's Royal Financial Gazette.
00:55:18Page 3.
00:55:20The headline reads,
00:55:21Franklin's marriage solid,
00:55:22Duchess confirms.
00:55:30Are you proud of yourself?
00:55:32Watching the standing go up?
00:55:34Was the royal messenger your idea?
00:55:37Or did you hire someone to take the still?
00:55:41If that's what you want to believe,
00:55:42then believe it.
00:55:43I am done explaining myself to you.
00:55:48Use my family to keep your title?
00:55:50Fine.
00:55:51Until my grandmother leaves this city,
00:55:53you will play the perfect, obedient wife.
00:55:56If you step out of line,
00:55:57I will make your life a living hell.
00:56:00I can't wait to see you try.
00:56:05Get your things.
00:56:06Once again,
00:56:08he used violence to assert his control.
00:56:10But this time,
00:56:11even his fists couldn't scare me.
00:56:16I told my staff to pack your things from the Chase Estate.
00:56:19They will be delivered within the hour.
00:56:20You will unpack them on this side.
00:56:22I am not moving back.
00:56:24I will sleep on the sofa when Eleonora visits.
00:56:27I am not playing house with you.
00:56:29You don't have a choice.
00:56:30My grandmother has eyes everywhere.
00:56:33If your clothes are not in this closet,
00:56:35she will know.
00:56:36You wanted to be Mrs. Muller so badly,
00:56:38now you get to play the role.
00:56:4024 hours a day.
00:56:42Under my roof.
00:56:43Under my rules.
00:56:52Isabel.
00:56:52Franklin,
00:56:53you have to help me.
00:56:54I'm going crazy.
00:56:56Your guards won't let me leave.
00:56:57I ordered them to keep you safe,
00:56:58not make you a prisoner.
00:57:00The whole city is talking about the still of you and Cadence.
00:57:03They're laughing at me.
00:57:05Even my gown tailor cancelled my order.
00:57:08I am sorry.
00:57:09It's a misunderstanding.
00:57:11Are you still divorcing her?
00:57:12Please tell me you are still leaving her.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:15The divorce is still happening.
00:57:17I am coming over to your apartment right now.
00:57:33Those papers stay in there until the gallow is over.
00:57:35When I decide to sign them,
00:57:37you will sign them.
00:57:38Until then,
00:57:38you are my wife.
00:57:52Cancel the luggage delivery.
00:57:54I am not moving back.
00:57:56He thought locking me in a cage
00:57:58meant he had won.
00:57:59He didn't know that he was the one trapped inside it.
00:58:02I went to see my grandfather,
00:58:05Theodore Chase.
00:58:06I told him everything that had happened
00:58:09between Franklin and me.
00:58:16This is not just about divorce anymore.
00:58:18This is war.
00:58:19The Perez family is liquidating their assets,
00:58:22splitting the black market with gold,
00:58:24searching for something,
00:58:25the elixir.
00:58:26Eleonora's heart is failing.
00:58:29The Perez family wants to find the elixir
00:58:31and present it to her.
00:58:33If that happens,
00:58:34that means Eleonora owe her one.
00:58:36She will force Franklin to marry Isabel.
00:58:39You will be thrown out,
00:58:40and the Perez family will take over the Muller Empire.
00:58:44They are fighting a war they have already lost.
00:58:47What is your next move?
00:58:49Arrange a meeting for me.
00:58:51A visible, exclusive introduction.
00:58:55A blind date?
00:58:57A political statement.
00:58:59I need the entire nobility to see
00:59:02that the Chase family is seeking a new alliance.
00:59:10That bastard.
00:59:12I heard Franklin took Isabel to a coastal estate
00:59:15and bought her a pink diamond.
00:59:17The whole nobility is talking about it.
00:59:19He locks you in the estate
00:59:21while he goes off with that scheming woman.
00:59:24I will destroy his medical workshop.
00:59:28No.
00:59:29Make the call.
00:59:31Set up the meeting with the Kendrick family.
00:59:34and make sure the royal messengers know exactly where we will be.
00:59:38Elinana had left last night.
00:59:40My performance was over.
00:59:42Now it was time to show Franklin what a real declaration of war looked like.
00:59:49Madam, I heard that Mr. Franklin bought a pink diamond for Miss Perez.
00:59:55It is already spreading through the nobility.
01:00:00She got the diamond I'd waited three years for.
01:00:04But I didn't care anymore.
01:00:12Your grandfather spoke with Walter Kendrick.
01:00:15This is the profile of his son, Leland.
01:00:22The Kendrick family has deeper roots on the continent than the Muller.
01:00:28If you align with Leland, Franklin will never be able to touch you.
01:00:35It's set for tomorrow evening at 7. I will be there.
01:00:39You don't have to do this if you aren't ready.
01:00:43I am ready.
01:00:52Boss.
01:00:53Initiate phase two.
01:00:54Standing by.
01:00:56What's the broadcast?
01:00:57Post a global alert on the black market auction boards.
01:01:00Announce that the Shadow Correa will host an exclusive invite-only auction.
01:01:05The item is something that could revolutionize the kingdom's medical practices.
01:01:10The seller will only accept alchemical workshops in exchange.
01:01:14Not gold.
01:01:15The Perez family will lose their minds over it.
01:01:18They'll think it's the elixir.
01:01:20They'll leverage everything they have to get an invite.
01:01:24Bleed them a little.
01:01:31They wanted to humiliate me with their public display of affection.
01:01:37Then I would show them who the real winner was.
01:01:47Are you thinking about me?
01:01:54I'm just tired.
01:01:56You're lying.
01:01:57You won't even look at me.
01:02:05What is wrong with you?
01:02:07I told you I am dealing with a crisis.
01:02:10My brother Albeto called me an hour ago.
01:02:13The Perez family brokers have made contact with the black market.
01:02:17They found a lead on the elixir.
01:02:23The seller wants workshops, not gold.
01:02:27My family is preparing to liquidate our alchememical labs to secure it.
01:02:31We are giving up half our family fortune for you.
01:02:35Are you really going to marry me or are you just using me?
01:02:38The moment the judge stamps the final divorce decree,
01:02:41I will put a ring on your finger.
01:02:45We will be engaged.
01:02:51I love you.
01:02:56Sir, my source of the Chase Estate reports that
01:02:59Cadence has a reservation at the Silver Moon Restaurant tomorrow at 7pm.
01:03:04She is meeting Leland Kendrick.
01:03:10He was rushing to ruin that meeting.
01:03:13His jealousy always got the better of his reason.
01:03:21When my father said you requested a meeting, I assumed we would discuss partnerships.
01:03:26I didn't expect to be having dinner with the woman who saved his life.
01:03:30I'm glad he made a full recovery.
01:03:33Thanks to you.
01:03:34He told me what happened that night.
01:03:37I must apologize for my aggressive actions.
01:03:41Leland, I believe in absolute honesty.
01:03:44I have to tell you I am still legally married to Franklin.
01:03:48I don't want to drag the Kendrick name into scandal.
01:03:51So you have to know what's going on.
01:03:54I'm not afraid of Franklin.
01:03:56Not his lawyers.
01:03:57And certainly, not the royal messengers.
01:04:02To honesty then.
01:04:04To new alliances.
01:04:07To new alliances.
01:04:17Franklin had arrived.
01:04:19With his rage and jealousy.
01:04:23Seems locking you in the estate was pointless.
01:04:28Not even a few hours have passed.
01:04:30And you've already laced onto a new man.
01:04:33Mr. Muller, you're mistaken.
01:04:35I invited her to dinner because she saved my father's life.
01:04:38We owe her one.
01:04:41And you've got the wrong target.
01:04:44The only person in this room clinging desperately to a man.
01:04:47She's standing right behind you.
01:04:49This is your plan?
01:04:51Hiding behind him?
01:04:53You think he actually cares about you?
01:04:56Franklin, who I have dinner with, is none of your business.
01:04:59Just leave.
01:05:00You're embarrassing yourself.
01:05:01I believe she has made herself clear.
01:05:03If you do not have a reservation, Mr. Muller,
01:05:06I suggest you leave before I have the guards escort you out.
01:05:12We're not done yet.
01:05:16He left.
01:05:17But I knew he wouldn't let it go.
01:05:23Leland!
01:05:31Thank you for defending me.
01:05:34You were right.
01:05:35Life is too short to deal with unnecessary people.
01:05:39To answer your earlier question,
01:05:41yes, I would very much like to explore our future cooperation.
01:05:46Both professionally and personally.
01:05:51That is the best thing I have heard all evening.
01:05:54Stop looking at her.
01:05:55Let's go.
01:06:08The message was received.
01:06:10It worked.
01:06:11I used you.
01:06:12I'm sorry.
01:06:13Don't apologize.
01:06:15It's strategy.
01:06:17You hit him where he is weakest.
01:06:19His pride.
01:06:21He won't let this go.
01:06:23An enraged beast always would strike back.
01:06:29Why are we sitting here?
01:06:31You promised to take me home.
01:06:33Eyes off!
01:06:34That bitch is just using him to get back at you.
01:06:37Shut up.
01:06:38Franklin's ego is bruised,
01:06:40but he will convince himself this was just a performance to make him jealous.
01:06:44He won't take it seriously.
01:06:46He needs a bigger shock.
01:06:48Exactly.
01:06:49We need to escalate this from a rumor to a formal alliance.
01:06:52I want to invite you and your father to the Chase Estet tomorrow afternoon.
01:06:56A formal meeting.
01:06:57We will discuss integrating my medical patents with your continental trade networks.
01:07:02My father will be thrilled.
01:07:04Tomorrow at three.
01:07:19Thank you, Leland.
01:07:20For everything.
01:07:23I knew Franklin saw it,
01:07:25but he didn't know that this game had only just begun.
01:07:36They are here.
01:07:38Just be yourself today,
01:07:40Cadence.
01:07:40Get out of here.
01:07:45Pardon me.
01:07:52Do not be any adults.
01:07:56No one Fernando.
01:08:01First thing.
01:08:04Yes.
01:08:05Are you kidding me?
01:08:06You're joking,
01:08:08Why are you doing personal things?
01:08:09Well, I know.
01:08:09OK,
01:08:10It's this.
01:08:22you have a brilliant mind cadence any man who marries the chase daughter will be the
01:08:27luckiest man in the kingdom i completely agree dad leland has done exceptional work on the
01:08:32continent did you sleep well last night the air in the city is too heavy i want to get out
01:08:44to the
01:08:44countryside estate for some fresh air we have an estate in the countryside you are welcome there
01:08:51yeah i want to go to the noble hunting grounds i need to shoot a few arrows do you know
01:08:59how to
01:08:59use a bow cadence i am afraid i am a beginner mr kendrick but i am always willing to learn
01:09:06perfect i already have an afternoon reservation at the noble hunting grounds
01:09:10lelander can teach you we're leaving in an hour i didn't like the sport but for the alliance i had
01:09:16to play along as the carriage passed over the river i thought of the day i saved franklin
01:09:24the familiar suffocating grip clawed at my throat mrs chase what style of architecture do you prefer
01:09:30leland's question pulled my attention away from the water just in time
01:09:3615 minutes later the carriage rolled into the countryside estate
01:09:46we are going to the front grounds you two take your time on the archery range
01:10:16the Freddahls
01:10:19Keep your head down.
01:10:22Now, release.
01:10:49Oh my god. Isn't that Cadence? What is she doing with the Kendrick heir?
01:11:04Mr. Kendrick, I did not know you had given up your family's trading fleets to become a cheap archery instructor.
01:11:12If the student is Mrs. Chase, I'm more than willing to offer lifetime lessons for free.
01:11:20I warned you last night, you are still wearing the Muller name.
01:11:25You do not let another man touch you in public.
01:11:29Franklin, the only thing keeping me in your family is those papers you won't sign.
01:11:39You brought your mistress to the noble archery grounds.
01:11:43After I said it, I saw his face twist.
01:11:49How can she say that about me? We are practically engaged!
01:11:55Mr. Kendrick, you might not know. Cadence is still a married woman.
01:12:01If you keep touching her, your family will not be happy about the scandal.
01:12:06Ms. Perez, you misunderstand something.
01:12:08I am not here on a date.
01:12:10I am here representing the Kendrick family.
01:12:13We are finalizing a marriage contract with the Chase family.
01:12:16The second Cadence is legally single.
01:12:19The contract activates.
01:12:23I am simply protecting my future fiancé.
01:12:30I will never sign those papers!
01:12:33She is my wife!
01:12:35You just can't stand the fact that the woman who once loved you no longer begs for your attention.
01:12:47You can't even lift a bow, yet you are really sharp-tongued.
01:12:53Cadence, let's make a bet.
01:12:55Three arrows, we'll see who hits the bullseye first.
01:12:58She wanted to humiliate me with the one thing she was good at.
01:13:05The loser has to publicly admit their family is completely inferior.
01:13:09And bow to the winner's family in front of every noble here.
01:13:14In the world of old money, refusing a public challenge was simply not done.
01:13:19It meant admitting you were weak.
01:13:21Isabel chose this moment on purpose to challenge me.
01:13:24Cadence, don't agree. Let's go.
01:13:28That's enough, Isabel. Shut your mouth and get back.
01:13:33What's wrong, Cadence?
01:13:35Is the chase daughter a coward?
01:13:37Or do you just know you are going to lose?
01:13:43I accept.
01:13:46I will stand by whatever you decide.
01:13:55Perfect call!
01:13:58Your turn.
01:14:04I knew I would lose.
01:14:06She knew I would lose.
01:14:07Everyone knew.
01:14:08But losing a game she was good at didn't mean losing the war.
01:14:23I guess the chase family's gold can't buy archery talent.
01:14:31I lost.
01:14:35Bow your head.
01:14:37Tell everyone the chase family is nothing compared to my family.
01:14:46I have never been particularly skilled at games.
01:14:50The chase family has never derived its value from leisure.
01:14:54We derive it from innovation.
01:14:56Leland.
01:14:56To finalize our discussion from this morning, Chase Medical Guild formally accepts the Kendrick
01:15:02Consura strategic partnership proposal for the continental market.
01:15:05My father and I look forward to hosting you and your father tomorrow to sign the initial
01:15:09merger terms.
01:15:16He had gone mad.
01:15:17But this time, his madness would only drag him deeper into the abyss.
01:15:26Take your hands off her, Franklin.
01:15:31Do you know what you are doing?
01:15:34Announcing mergers?
01:15:36Stop lying to yourself, Franklin.
01:15:38You don't care about the family.
01:15:40You are just having a meltdown because your toy is gone.
01:15:45You are jealous.
01:15:51You think finding a new noble backer will get you away from me?
01:15:55As long as you are my wife, you belong to me!
01:15:58Then sign the divorce papers today.
01:16:01Prove to everyone that you can live without me.
01:16:03Even if I sign those papers, I will freeze every gold coin you have.
01:16:09I will make sure you leave me with nothing.
01:16:13Enough!
01:16:14Everyone is watching you!
01:16:29Stop this right now!
01:16:31My father had arrived, but Franklin's fist could no longer be pulled back.
01:16:44We are leaving, Cadence.
01:16:46A daughter of the Chase family does not need to prove her worth to some bastard.
01:17:04My bag.
01:17:06Wait here.
01:17:18Why did you run out there?
01:17:21Why do you care if she makes a deal with the Kendricks?
01:17:24Do you still love her?
01:17:25I told you.
01:17:26I was protecting the family's image.
01:17:29You are a liar!
01:17:30I saw how you looked at her!
01:17:34I have a headache.
01:17:37Stop acting like a child.
01:17:49They were fighting like mad dogs, but I had no interest in watching anymore.
01:17:55No?
01:17:56I have no more.
01:18:01So!
01:18:02The great Franklin Muller got punched by the Kendrick boy today?
01:18:07shut up if you are here to make fun of me get out you spent three years ignoring your wife
