00:00:02Attention all crew, emergency notice. The airport is entering BVVVIP security protocol.
00:00:08All departing flights are grounded. Priority service for the private aircraft. Execute
00:00:12immediately. Repeat. BVVIP protection activated. All departures halted. Private jet service
00:00:19priority. Isn't that Alice Kane? Founder of the Fargo Group? The biggest investment firm
00:00:31on Wall Street? She's gorgeous. Mrs. Kane, every flight back to New York just got cancelled.
00:00:39Worse, the whole airport is on lockdown. There's a crisis at the firm. We can't afford to wait.
00:00:44We're getting back to New York today. Whatever it takes.
00:00:55Hey, security. What's going on? Why are all the flights cancelled?
00:01:00Hold on, I'm not- Save it. We need to get to New York. Go find
00:01:04out what's happening. Now. Be polite. Sorry, we're just in a real rush to get back to New
00:01:09York. Heading to New York? Air traffic control grounded everything. Lucky for you, I'm going
00:01:15New York too. My private jet has room. Follow me.
00:01:20Ms. Kane, that old security guard doesn't look very trustworthy. A private jet? I don't know
00:01:26what he's on about. Let's find out.
00:01:31Mr. Vega, welcome aboard. Mr. Vega, all crew are ready. We can depart at any time.
00:01:39Mr. Vega, welcome aboard. Let's go.
00:01:52Don't just stand around. Have a seat.
00:01:54This- This is really your private jet?
00:01:58How's the firm holding up?
00:02:00Ms. Kane, it's not good. Multiple investors have suddenly pulled out. Someone's working
00:02:05against us behind the scenes. We're looking at a funding gap of at least $700 million.
00:02:10$700 million? What about redirecting funds from other projects?
00:02:14Not enough. Forced reallocation risks the whole funding chain. I recommend cutting our losses
00:02:20on the project. Recover funds as soon as possible. But-
00:02:23$700 million? That's pocket change. Why the panic?
00:02:27Mr. That is $700 million. You're acting like it's seven bucks.
00:02:31I think we have a connection, you and I. Here's the deal. Be my girlfriend. And I'll settle
00:02:37your $700 million. How's that?
00:02:42What? You want Mrs. Kane to be your girlfriend, old man? She could be your daughter.
00:02:48What do you know? Age is just a number. A man as exceptional as me? Young women chase
00:02:53after me all the time. Can you actually get $700 million?
00:03:00I just found myself a new girlfriend. She needs a billion dollar investment. I'll give you 10 minutes.
00:03:06Been on my feet all day. My legs are killing me. Rub my legs for me.
00:03:12You dirty old man! You want Ms. Kane to rub your legs?
00:03:16I just fixed her billion dollar problem. And she's my girlfriend.
00:03:21What's wrong with a little foot rub? You-
00:03:26$1 billion has been deposited into the Fargo Group account.
00:03:30You actually wired me a billion? Why would I lie to my own girlfriend?
00:03:36Cost me a billion. That makes you the most expensive masseuse in the world.
00:03:46You too. Don't just stand there. This side's yours.
00:03:54Put some effort into it.
00:04:25What's up, Lucas?
00:04:26Dad, you vanished again. I told you, if you're going on a trip, you have to tell me.
00:04:30All right, all right. I'm almost in New York. Coming to pick me up?
00:04:33I'm busy today. Lola and I are going to Ms. Kane's birthday party tonight.
00:04:37Who?
00:04:38Alice Kane, founder of Fargo Group. Lola works at Fargo.
00:04:42Dad, your memory's slipping.
00:04:44Oh right, I remember now. You're trying to meet Alice, aren't you? I'll introduce you to.
00:04:50Dad, stop talking big.
00:04:52Someone like her, someone like you, I can barely get a meeting with her myself.
00:04:58Look, I'm heading out. There's pizza in the fridge, heated up when you get home.
00:05:02Hey? Hello?
00:05:14That little brat.
00:05:28Miss Kane, your car is here.
00:05:31It's my birthday today. If you're free, I'll give you a ride.
00:05:35Of course. My girlfriend's birthday? Wouldn't miss it.
00:05:44We're riding in that thing?
00:05:45What's wrong with this car? It's a top of the line Rolls Royce.
00:05:49You're telling me you have something better?
00:05:51Absolutely. My car is way better.
00:06:04See? My car.
00:06:06This is the car that's better than a Rolls Royce?
00:06:09Don't let the looks fool you. She's solid. Built like a tank. Just like me.
00:06:23Miss Kane and this...
00:06:25Come on, get in.
00:06:45We're here.
00:06:49I'll head to my dressing room and change first. Come find me in a bit.
00:06:52Sure.
00:07:01You're late to Miss Kane's birthday party.
00:07:03Kevin, you don't know. Lucas' startup's on the rise.
00:07:06And his wife is a senior exec at Fargo.
00:07:09With Lucas around, I'm not sure this deal is still ours.
00:07:12I can smell the jealousy from here.
00:07:16Hey! Security! Who let you in?
00:07:20The door's that way. Get out!
00:07:25What are you doing here?
00:07:27Who is this security guard, Lucas? You know him?
00:07:29He's... he is...
00:07:32I'm his dad.
00:07:33This security guard is your dad?
00:07:36Yes, this is my dad. Dad, what are you doing here?
00:07:39Why shouldn't I be here? I can't...
00:07:41Lucas, you built your own company? Net worth in the tens of millions? And your dad is working as a
00:07:46security guard?
00:07:47Lola, this is your father-in-law. You organized Miss Kane's party tonight, right?
00:07:51You two are dressed to the nines. Couldn't you get your dad a decent outfit?
00:07:55Sir, these two are out of line. Is this any way to treat your own father?
00:08:00What's wrong with being a security guard? It was my choice. Nothing to do with Lucas and Lola. Besides, I
00:08:07work for fun, not money.
00:08:09Lucas, your dad is way more interesting than you!
00:08:12Dad, do you know who's here tonight? Every big wig on Wall Street is here for Miss Kane's birthday party.
00:08:17I'm here to nail a partnership deal. Please, don't cause trouble for me.
00:08:21Right, Dad. Fine that you came, but you can't wear that. Let me find someone to get you changed.
00:08:26It's a birthday party. Why so formal?
00:08:29Dad, you don't understand. Tonight, Miss Kane is choosing her business partners for the next three years.
00:08:34Every elite on Wall Street is here for that.
00:08:37Ah, I see. Lucas, you want that deal too, right? Let me handle it.
00:08:45Dad, I've got it on lock. Just go eat something. Don't talk. Don't wander off. Sir, are you saying you
00:08:51know Miss Kane?
00:08:52Sure do. I just drove her here.
00:08:56You drove her here? What?
00:09:00Dad, keep it down. Miss Kane has her own luxury car service. How would you have driven her anywhere?
00:09:08Luxury car? More like a-
00:09:10Sir, come on. Stop making things up. Miss Kane is the queen of Wall Street.
00:09:17Beautiful and brilliant. She's my dream woman. And she's single.
00:09:23If I could win her over, I'd be set for life.
00:09:26Every man in New York wants to marry Mrs. Kane. Lucas, you're already taken. No shot for you.
00:09:33But the two of us still have a chance. Stay tuned for good news.
00:09:37Hold on. Lucas is out, but I'm still available. I'm single too, you know.
00:09:44Did I hear that right, sir?
00:09:46Dad, wake up. Quit dreaming. Don't stoop to their level.
00:09:51She's single. I'm single. What's the problem?
00:09:55Dad! Mrs. Kane is not one of your pickleball pals at the park.
00:09:59She doesn't do jokes. Don't say things like that. If you offend her, you'll make life very hard for both
00:10:05of us.
00:10:07Sir, Miss Kane is Wall Street's most celebrated businesswoman, worth over $10 billion.
00:10:12She's got billionaires like me begging for the time of day. You should really wake up.
00:10:17I'm telling you, the Silver Fox look is very in right now. Maybe she's into exactly my type.
00:10:24The Silver Fox standard requires looks, brains, and money. A broke old security guard?
00:10:30You look like a bum, old man. Miss Kane is in a completely different world than you.
00:10:36One lunch for her is your whole year's salary. Even if she did go out with you, you couldn't afford
00:10:41to keep up.
00:10:43Dad, if you're looking for someone, I'll sign you up for Tinder or something tomorrow. Deal?
00:10:48Lucas, I think you've got the wrong idea about me. Sure, I'm not young, but I feel young. Why can't
00:10:54I date Alice?
00:10:55Yeah, man. Go ahead and woo Miss Kane.
00:10:58Lucas, don't write your dad off. If he actually lands as Kane, you'd have to call her mom.
00:11:06See? Your friends talk sense.
00:11:08Dad, they're playing you. They want you to offend Miss Kane, so my deal with her falls apart completely.
00:11:14Exactly. That's why you should support me. If Alice and I work out, we're all family.
00:11:19Your deal with Fargo is as good as signed. Sir, your gift for daydreaming truly impresses me.
00:11:25Don't believe me? When you see me walking out with Alice on my arm, try not to be too jealous.
00:11:34Dad, wait!
00:11:35Leave him.
00:11:37Miss Lola, your father-in-law really needs someone to straighten him up.
00:11:41All he does is make trouble. Anyway, it's about time. Where's Miss Kane?
00:11:51Miss Kane is already in the hotel dressing room.
00:11:55And I heard from the secretary that Miss Kane agreed to see us. Let's grab the gifts and head up.
00:12:00Finally! Let's go, let's go!
00:12:15Hey! What are you doing in here?
00:12:17Here to see my girlfriend. Not bad?
00:12:21Not bad?
00:12:22Figure, presence, face, all excellent. You look like my dream come true.
00:12:29You've used that line on plenty of girls. It won't work on me.
00:12:36I'm dead serious. Spin around. Let me have a good look.
00:12:47Well, how do I look?
00:12:51Beautiful.
00:12:52Is this really the Wall Street Queen I know?
00:12:56Why is she so... agreeable?
00:13:03Come to think of it, it's been a long day. Rub my shoulders.
00:13:08All you do is boss me around.
00:13:15Daxon, what do you want?
00:13:17Sweetheart, why do you always give me the cold shoulder? You know what I want.
00:13:23I'm devoted to you.
00:13:25Multiple investors pulled out of Fargo Group at once. You're behind it, aren't you?
00:13:29Forcing me into a marriage through sabotage. Is that what you call devotion?
00:13:33Can I help it that you're so resistible? I've already spoken to your family. We're getting engaged in three days.
00:13:39In your dreams.
00:13:41Don't stop rubbing my shoulder. Alice, why is there a man's voice over there?
00:13:46Here, let me talk to him. Hey, son. Who are you?
00:13:51A security guard? Alice? What are you doing?
00:13:55You're rubbing this old man's shoulders?
00:13:57Old man? Let me tell you something.
00:14:02Alice is my girlfriend.
00:14:04Old man? You dare touch my woman?
00:14:07Believe me, I'll come over there and end you right now.
00:14:09Calm down, kid. Big talk. And me? You think I've been a security guard all these years for nothing?
00:14:20Damn you. You're dead, old man.
00:14:26Let me up.
00:14:30Why? You're my girlfriend now. Don't be shy.
00:14:36Relax. Even if all hell breaks loose, I've got you.
00:14:40If that little punk actually shows up, I'll smack him twice across the face.
00:14:50That's Mrs. Kane's dressing room up ahead. When we go in, everyone behave.
00:14:56I'm so nervous. I'm about to meet my dream woman. We're the rising elite of Wall Street.
00:15:01Most people don't even get the chance to see Mrs. Kane. True. Lucas, your dad's a winner.
00:15:06Could probably charm Mrs. Kane in a snap of his fingers, right?
00:15:09Are you done?
00:15:13Enough. Mrs. Kane runs cold. When we get in there, everyone keep it together.
00:15:20Wait.
00:15:25Why do I hear voices in there?
00:15:28See? I helped you again. You should really thank me.
00:15:34Feed me.
00:15:38With your mouth.
00:15:45That sounds like a man's voice.
00:15:51Impossible. I looked into it. Miss Kane never lets men near her. There's no man in that room.
00:15:56You definitely misheard. Come on, let's just go in.
00:15:58I've been with Miss Kane for years. Never once saw a man around her. Come on, let's go in.
00:16:04Fine.
00:16:07Good evening, Miss Kane. Thank you for making time to see us.
00:16:12Dad?
00:16:14What?
00:16:17Dad?
00:16:20What?
00:16:24Am I seeing things?
00:16:27What is happening? Mrs. Kane is sitting on your dad's lap and feeding him fruit with her mouth?
00:16:33Miss Kane, what's the security guard doing here? Did he bother you?
00:16:38Alice? I delivered the things you asked me to bring.
00:16:42That's right. Mr. Vega was just dropping off fruit.
00:16:51Come on, stop staring. Have some. Try one.
00:16:57Tell me if it's sweet.
00:16:58Dad, you're just dropping off fruit. Why are you feeding her? That's Miss Kane.
00:17:06Well, you gotta check if the fruit's sweet, right?
00:17:09Besides, Alice is perfectly happy to let me feed her.
00:17:14Aren't you?
00:17:20Dad, stop it. Keep this up and Miss Kane is gonna lose her patience.
00:17:26Dad, step back. Miss Kane can't stand men getting close to her.
00:17:32Is it really that bad? Alice, you don't mind me feeding you, do you?
00:17:40Is it really that bad? Alice, you don't mind me feeding you, do you?
00:17:50What am I looking at?
00:17:51What am I looking at? Is this really the Miss Kane who never lets men near her?
00:17:55Miss Kane, the birthday party is about to start. We should head out.
00:18:03Right. Everyone, let's go.
00:18:13Sir, you have to teach me your moves. Please, teach us. We want a chance with Miss Kane too.
00:18:19What I've got comes from lived experience. You two are too green. It's not something I can teach.
00:18:25Come on, sir. Stop holding out on us.
00:18:34Alice! Where's that old man? I'm going to destroy him!
00:18:53Who do you think you are barging in here making a scene? Do you know where you are?
00:19:03You lunatic. How could you hit me? I'll kill you!
00:19:08Are you insane? Do you know who he is? That's Daxson.
00:19:13Daxson? The heir to New York's biggest crime family?
00:19:20Pathetics. If you're scared, get out of the way. I'll deal with you later.
00:19:26How did I end up crossing someone like that?
00:19:29Honey, who is this Daxson?
00:19:31He's the son of the Mafia Queen, Evie Smith. Spoiled rotten. Runs wild on his mother's power.
00:19:37They call him the Prince of the Underworld.
00:19:39Evie? Evie? That woman?
00:19:42Dad, don't say her name like that. She's the Mafia Queen. Ruthless. Keep pushing it and you won't have a
00:19:49head left.
00:19:51I heard Daxson's been chasing Miss Kane. What's got him so mad? He said he's looking for an old man.
00:19:58Who?
00:20:03Daxson, what do you want?
00:20:05Alice, don't play dumb with me! Where is that old man? Tell him to get out here!
00:20:09This kid hit has no manners. Who's he calling an old man?
00:20:14Dad! He's not talking about you! Stay out of it!
00:20:19He's the Mafia Queen's son. I can't afford to cross him, so please don't start something.
00:20:25Right. One word from the Mafia Queen and our company is finished. Don't you dare cause trouble for us.
00:20:31Look at you two, shaking over a name. Mafia Queen, please. She's just a feisty woman. I know exactly how
00:20:38to handle women like her.
00:20:39Dad, now is not the time for jokes.
00:20:44Daxson, you're not welcome here. Please leave.
00:20:49Alice, you humiliated me by parading around with some old security guard, and now you didn't even invite me to
00:20:56your own birthday party?
00:20:58Tell that old man to drag himself out here. I'm going to knock every teeth out of his head.
00:21:04Old security guard? Surely he doesn't mean-
00:21:11Dad! What did you do this time?
00:21:14That little punk. Knock whose teeth out. I'll discipline him myself. For his mother's sake.
00:21:22Dad.
00:21:24Dad!
00:21:28Old man! It really is you! You're dead!
00:21:35Dad! What did you do to piss him off?
00:21:39What do you mean, piss him off? I was being a hero!
00:21:43Dad! This is no time for stories!
00:21:46Let me handle this kid first. We'll talk after.
00:21:51Wait! Dad!
00:21:55Are you crazy? You go up there, you die with your dad!
00:22:04Kid, can't you see it? Alice clearly doesn't want you. Let it go.
00:22:09Old man, I know exactly what's going on.
00:22:12You're just a prop Alice dragged in to make me jealous. I could let that slide.
00:22:16But first you're going to kneel right now, beg for forgiveness, and crawl out of here like a dog.
00:22:24Enough! Daxson, quit throwing tantrums!
00:22:27Alice, you're mine. Nobody touches what's mine. This old man wants to play prop? Fine. I'll destroy him.
00:22:37I'm right here. You are not touching him.
00:22:40Alice, I forgot to mention. My mother is on her way. She wants to meet you.
00:22:47The mafia queen? Evie is coming? It's over. Everything is over.
00:22:56That woman is coming? I've already got a new girlfriend. This is going to be a problem.
00:23:04Getting nervous now? Think you can still protect this old man?
00:23:09Kid, I think you've got it backwards. Alice isn't protecting me. I'm protecting her.
00:23:17I'm not a prop. I'm Alice's boyfriend.
00:23:29Let's head in. You can't have a birthday party without the guest of honor.
00:23:44Dad, what are you doing? This is between Miss Kane and Daxson. Stay out of it.
00:23:49Dad, let's go. Daxson is someone we can't afford to mess with. Don't make things worse for yourself.
00:23:52I'm the man here. What's there to be afraid of? One little punk has you both this scared?
00:23:57What did I teach you? Dad, this is really not the time for big talk.
00:24:02What big talk? I'm just-
00:24:04Dad, you have no idea how terrifying his mother is.
00:24:15Alice, you dragged in some old man just to get under my skin. Aren't you disgusted by that?
00:24:19Watch your mouth. This is my boyfriend.
00:24:25Oh my god, dad, when did you-
00:24:28This can't be real.
00:24:30Now do you believe me, punk? We're the real thing, not an act.
00:24:41Now do you believe me, punk? We're the real thing, not an act.
00:24:51Oh my god, he kissed Miss Kane? This is insane. Lucas, your dad's nuts. He's-
00:24:57He's ticking off his bucket list before he kicks the bucket.
00:25:00Honey, what do we do now? How are we gonna get out of this?
00:25:04I have no idea. Dad, we're done here. Let's go home. This is above our pay grade.
00:25:10Think you can just walk away? Too late. You touched my woman. You're not leaving this hall alive, old man.
00:25:17Kid, are you done? Keep this up and I'll discipline you myself. On Evie's behalf.
00:25:24You dare say her name? You're dead, old man!
00:25:36Dad! Oh my god.
00:25:40Old man, you hit me? You actually hit me?
00:25:44It's over. Your dad is absolutely done.
00:25:48Dad, go, now! Don't worry about us, just go!
00:25:51Old man, you can't run from this! Do you know who my mother is? When she gets here, you're finished.
00:25:59No need. Your mother and I go way back. Keeping her son in line? If anything, she'd thank me.
00:26:11When she gets here, you're finished.
00:26:15Dad, you're in real trouble. The mafia queen never shows mercy. You've put our whole family at risk today.
00:26:23Real trouble? She's ruthless? I don't remember that at all. His mother was real sweet back in the day. Kind,
00:26:30well-mannered, really thoughtful girl. Lucas, you've got her all wrong. She's not who you think she is.
00:26:36What are you talking about?
00:26:40My mistake. I misspoke. You old fool! How dare you talk about my mother like that?
00:26:47You're finished! When she gets here, I will make your life hell!
00:26:51She can come. Honestly, it's been so long, I kind of miss her.
00:26:55Dad, can you please stop talking? Let's run!
00:26:58Right! If we don't go now, it'll be too late!
00:27:00Nobody is leaving today.
00:27:16It's over.
00:27:20The mafia queen Eve is here.
00:27:33Mom, look what they did to my face.
00:27:35Who did this?
00:27:37That security guard! Mom, you have to stand up for me!
00:27:44We're finished. No time to run.
00:27:46Run? I haven't had birthday cake yet.
00:27:49Dad, how can you think about food right now?
00:27:53The mafia queen's idea of revenge is brutal. We might not make it out of tonight.
00:27:58What are you scared of? If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you.
00:28:02Every mess you make, I'm the one who cleans it up.
00:28:07And now you've gone and provoked the mafia queen. You're going to get us all killed.
00:28:16Haven't seen Evie in so long. She just keeps getting prettier.
00:28:23Hand him over.
00:28:24Mrs. Smith, your son was the one who came here and started trouble.
00:28:31So you're Alice. You're quite a beauty.
00:28:34No wonder my son can't get you out of his head.
00:28:37But everyone here knows, whoever touches my son is my enemy.
00:28:46Dakeson, go drag out the person who hit you.
00:28:50Mom, right there. You have to stand up for me.
00:28:57James.
00:29:01Mom, it's this security guard.
00:29:04He stole the woman I want and he slapped me in front of everyone.
00:29:12Old man, you're dead. Nobody can save you now.
00:29:18Mrs. Smith, he's the man I've chosen.
00:29:22He hit Dacen for my sake. If you have a problem, it's with me.
00:29:34You. Well played.
00:29:38Evie, look, I can explain-
00:29:39Don't call me Evie.
00:29:41Lucas, did you see the way Evie's looking at your dad?
00:29:44He's done for.
00:29:45Honey, what do we do now?
00:29:48Mafia queen, your majesty.
00:29:50My dad's not quite right in the head.
00:29:55I'll apologize on his behalf.
00:29:58Please don't hold it against him.
00:30:00Son, you don't need to apologize to her.
00:30:02This is your chance to run.
00:30:05You're his son.
00:30:07You. Silence.
00:30:09I want to hear what he has to say.
00:30:17He's my father.
00:30:18If there's anything to be done, I'll take full responsibility.
00:30:25Son, I know you're trying to protect me.
00:30:28But this is a debt I owe from the past. Let me handle it.
00:30:35Get over here!
00:30:37Dad!
00:30:39Dad, apologize and mean it.
00:30:41Be humble if you have to.
00:30:43Your life matters more than your pride.
00:30:45Don't be stubborn.
00:30:48James, you jerk.
00:30:50All these years and you couldn't even reach out to me?
00:30:54Sweetheart, I only just landed today.
00:30:57Don't touch me.
00:30:58Honey, it's all over.
00:31:01Your dad is finished.
00:31:04I've never seen my mom this angry.
00:31:08Scared now?
00:31:10Too late.
00:31:11I'm telling you both.
00:31:16No, I have to go check.
00:31:20Evie, it's been so long.
00:31:22You have no idea.
00:31:23I've missed you like crazy.
00:31:26Smooth talker.
00:31:28Is that the truth?
00:31:29Of course it's true.
00:31:30I swear to God.
00:31:32Not a single day went by that I didn't think about you.
00:31:34All these years and you're still just as beautiful.
00:31:41You two know each other?
00:31:53What's going on with you and Mrs. Smith?
00:31:56You two seem close.
00:32:00It's nothing.
00:32:01Alice, don't read into it.
00:32:03Evie and I are old friends.
00:32:04We go back a long way.
00:32:06There was some history.
00:32:07That's all.
00:32:08Old friends?
00:32:10A bit more than that.
00:32:11Old flame.
00:32:13We were in love for a while.
00:32:15But she's my ex now.
00:32:17We broke up.
00:32:18Haven't been in contact for years.
00:32:21Ex?
00:32:22You jerk!
00:32:23What did you just say?
00:32:25You used to call me sweetheart every day.
00:32:28You held me at night and told me I was the only one.
00:32:31And now you've got someone new and you just throw me away?
00:32:34James, you heartless bastard!
00:32:39Mrs. Smith, he is my boyfriend now.
00:32:41I'd ask you to have some dignity.
00:32:43What's in the past should stay in the past.
00:32:46Stop chasing what's over.
00:32:51I'm just here for a birthday party.
00:32:54Why is everyone so worked up?
00:33:02See that?
00:33:03Two women fighting over your dad.
00:33:06He's absolutely done.
00:33:15Little girl.
00:33:17He was mine before you were born.
00:33:19How old are you exactly?
00:33:21You're competing with me?
00:33:22Age doesn't matter.
00:33:23What matters is now.
00:33:26And right now, he is my boyfriend.
00:33:31Nobody get upset.
00:33:32Everyone calm down.
00:33:34Give me a moment, okay?
00:33:37Come with me.
00:33:43Evie, Alice is new.
00:33:46Young girls get jealous.
00:33:47I was just calming her down.
00:33:50Evie, you're the most important woman in my life.
00:33:53How could I ever forget you?
00:33:55Just help me keep her steady for now, will you?
00:34:07This slippery man.
00:34:10Alice, she's getting on in years.
00:34:11She just likes to make a fuss.
00:34:14Sure, she's still got it.
00:34:16But I have a beautiful girlfriend now.
00:34:18Of course she's jealous.
00:34:20Don't stoop to her level.
00:34:22You're the one I love.
00:34:25Stop lying to me.
00:34:30And it's my birthday.
00:34:32You haven't even given me a present.
00:34:34That's on me.
00:34:35I rushed.
00:34:36Don't worry, I will make it up to you.
00:34:39You'll be more than satisfied.
00:34:44You're so good to me.
00:34:45James!
00:34:47What exactly is this?
00:34:54Mrs. Smith, he's my boyfriend.
00:34:57It's my birthday, and he's giving me a gift.
00:35:00Is there a problem?
00:35:02You!
00:35:08Evie, it's a kid's birthday.
00:35:10I was just playing along.
00:35:12Don't be upset.
00:35:13I don't care.
00:35:16I'm coming to your place tomorrow.
00:35:22Are you going to welcome me?
00:35:26That... that's not... I...
00:35:38Not welcome?
00:35:39Fine.
00:35:45Don't ever expect me to come looking for you again.
00:35:48Go ahead and don't come.
00:35:55I'll be home waiting for you all day tomorrow.
00:36:00You just wait.
00:36:10It's time for me to have my fun with him.
00:36:15This whole thing has fallen apart.
00:36:16We're done.
00:36:21Mom, did you finish off that old man?
00:36:24You're Lucas?
00:36:25That's me.
00:36:27Mom, don't worry.
00:36:28That old man and his son are both done today.
00:36:31Let me take care of him.
00:36:35Shut your mouth.
00:36:40Mom, why did you hit me?
00:36:47Stop talking.
00:36:48We're going home.
00:36:53This isn't over.
00:36:55I'll be back for all of you.
00:37:13All these years and that temper hasn't cooled down one bit.
00:37:18You're so much better, sweet and gorgeous.
00:37:22I'm starting to think you play the field.
00:37:28So whether I should actually be your girlfriend, I need to think about that.
00:37:38Alice.
00:37:40Alice!
00:37:47What happened?
00:37:48Why did Miss Kane leave?
00:37:50No idea.
00:37:52Can't you see it?
00:37:53The Mafia Queen only backed off as a favor to Miss Kane.
00:37:58Now that it's handled, she's done being nice.
00:38:05Son, I have something to take care of.
00:38:07I'll head out first.
00:38:10Wait, Dad.
00:38:12Look at your dad.
00:38:13He spent the whole night flirting with both Alice and Evie and walked out without a scratch.
00:38:19Unbelievable.
00:38:20He needs to be reined in.
00:38:21Keep causing scenes like this and he'll drag us all down eventually.
00:38:25What are you gonna do?
00:38:32I'm signing him up for a dating reality show.
00:38:36And get us a reliable stepmom while we're at it.
00:38:39It might be our only choice.
00:38:46Lucas, you're serious?
00:38:48You're going on TV dressed like that?
00:38:51What's wrong with it?
00:38:53Everything!
00:38:53You're helping your dad find a partner, not hitting a flea market.
00:38:57You show up like this and the women will be scared off before they even meet him.
00:39:02Lola, you don't get it.
00:39:03If Dad actually finds someone, she's going to dig into his finances.
00:39:07I'm dressing down on purpose to screen out the gold diggers first.
00:39:11Fine.
00:39:12At least fix your hair.
00:39:13Look proper.
00:39:18Good enough.
00:39:19Let's go.
00:39:28Hello and welcome to Soul Resonance.
00:39:37We have a very specials with us today.
00:39:39He's not here to find a partner for himself.
00:39:41He's here to find true love for his father.
00:39:46Please put your hands together for...
00:39:53He's not here to find a partner for himself.
00:39:55He's here to find true love for his father.
00:40:00Please put your hands together for...
00:40:04Finding a partner for his dad?
00:40:06What kind of kid has that much time on his hands?
00:40:18The signal out here is terrible.
00:40:27Lucas, the TV's broken.
00:40:29Can you...
00:40:29Dad, if it's broken, get a new one.
00:40:31I'll send you the money.
00:40:39What's he so busy with?
00:40:41Lucas, you're up.
00:40:50Everyone, this is Lucas Vega.
00:40:52He came to our stage tonight not to find a partner for himself, but for his father.
00:40:58Before we move on, I want to remind our audience, this show airs live with no edits.
00:41:08With Lucas's consent, we have installed a hidden camera in his father's home.
00:41:14We'll be showing you his most authentic daily life without his knowledge.
00:41:18As we go, keeping your light on means you're interested in learning more about him.
00:41:22If there's no spark, go ahead and turn off the light in front of you.
00:41:25Lucas, please introduce your father to everyone.
00:41:28My father is a good man. My mother passed away when I was very young.
00:41:32He raised me alone. Never complained.
00:41:34No matter what happened, he stayed upbeat.
00:41:36He lives in the country. Simple life.
00:41:38Country boy, then.
00:41:41Country boy, then.
00:41:44Country living.
00:41:45So financially speaking, not like a literal farm with no signal, right?
00:41:52I've been a senior exec on Wall Street for five years,
00:41:55and I'm proud to have the respect of the finance queen, Mrs. Kane.
00:41:58And your father is a middle-aged man living in the country with no steady income.
00:42:03A useless nobody coming on here to find a wife.
00:42:18Clara, you've chosen to keep your light on for this gentleman.
00:42:23Can you tell us why?
00:42:25Living in the country doesn't mean you lack ability.
00:42:28It might simply be his choice.
00:42:32Whether someone is worth knowing has nothing to do with where they live.
00:42:35Wonderful. Let's find out right now what this mysterious father is really like at home.
00:42:42The son's not home today.
00:42:45You can come over.
00:42:47Maybe we can do something that's good for the soul.
00:43:01He's a player, isn't he?
00:43:03Didn't take long to show his true colors.
00:43:05Country men can't be trusted.
00:43:07This kind of man deserves to be on a dating show?
00:43:09Disgusting.
00:43:10Why would Dad do something like this?
00:43:20Get in, get in.
00:43:21Don't stand in the doorway. Someone might see you.
00:43:25The second your son leaves, you call me over.
00:43:28You're so impatient.
00:43:30I couldn't wait.
00:43:31I need you to really get in there and suck it all up.
00:43:36Don't worry. I've got the hang of it now.
00:43:39I'll get every last bit.
00:43:46And this is your idea of a good father?
00:43:49Sneaking around at home? What a creep.
00:43:52Good thing I turned my light off early.
00:43:53I had no idea his father was this kind of person.
00:43:57Still holding on to hope with that light?
00:43:59He's practically doing it on camera.
00:44:24Haven't been home in so long.
00:44:26Everything's covered in dust.
00:44:31You missed under the couch.
00:44:32Didn't you say you had experience?
00:44:35Well, you never said the place was this filthy.
00:44:52Looks like we misread that.
00:44:53Mr. James and his friend were just cleaning the house together.
00:44:56Oh, thank God.
00:45:03Wait, isn't that woman the mafia queen, Evie?
00:45:06Why does she look so comfortable in my dad's house?
00:45:18Mrs. Kane, take a break.
00:45:21You've been working six hours straight.
00:45:29Look at soul resonance.
00:45:31Look at soul resonance.
00:45:31We thought the old man was hooking up.
00:45:32And he was just vacuuming.
00:45:54I told him at the party I'd reconsider being his girlfriend.
00:45:58He told him at the party I'd reconsider being his girlfriend.
00:46:03Cleaning together like it's nothing.
00:46:05Get the car.
00:46:07Now?
00:46:07Where to?
00:46:09James' place.
00:46:11That address.
00:46:12Should I reach out to the production team?
00:46:14Contact the show.
00:46:16Get the address.
00:46:17Now.
00:46:19This old man is clearly shady.
00:46:22Sure, cleaning with that woman is fine right now.
00:46:24But who knows what comes later?
00:46:26His son goes on TV to find him a partner and he's at home cozying up with another woman.
00:46:32Disgusting.
00:46:34Exactly.
00:46:35His son's biased about his father.
00:46:37Look at him.
00:46:38Who would marry into that?
00:46:40You still have the nerve to call your dad a good man?
00:46:43He's a dirty old creep.
00:46:45Miss Ruby, everything you're saying is speculation.
00:46:48There is no evidence that my father has done anything wrong.
00:46:50Lucas, I'm not accusing him.
00:46:53I'm just doing what any rational person should do.
00:46:58Assess the risk.
00:47:00My dad is gentle, responsible, and takes good care of his family.
00:47:04Anyone who marries him will be very happy.
00:47:07I trust that someone who truly sees him will recognize what he's worth.
00:47:17Clara, you're the only light still on.
00:47:20What's your take on James so far and will you be keeping it on?
00:47:27I choose to turn it all the way up.
00:47:34My dad is genuinely one of a kind.
00:47:37Life with him is a surprise every single day.
00:47:40Whoever ends up with him is going to be so happy.
00:47:43I believe it.
00:47:48This is hilarious.
00:47:50Clara, you're a senior exec at a clean energy company.
00:47:53And you'd actually consider meeting some country old man?
00:47:58Have you never met a man before?
00:48:00Or is this just a stunt?
00:48:02You're just chasing novelty.
00:48:04Once the novelty wears off, who could put up with someone like that?
00:48:08Old, broke, living in a run-down country house?
00:48:12Say what you want.
00:48:14The people who have good eyes will see my father's value.
00:48:17Wait, it just hit me.
00:48:20That woman cleaning with James?
00:48:22That's Evie.
00:48:24The mafia queen of New York.
00:48:30What?
00:48:31The mafia queen?
00:48:33The one who can bankrupt a small company with one word?
00:48:37Oh my god, it's actually her.
00:48:42Well, audience, it seems there's been quite a development here.
00:48:49A man who knows the mafia queen Eva can't be squeaky clean.
00:48:53Everything James does is suspicious.
00:48:55She's just over for cleaning.
00:48:57Who knows what he really does behind closed doors?
00:48:59Would any of you dare to get to know someone like that?
00:49:02God knows knows what he's hiding.
00:49:04Audience, I should mention, we've seen situations like this on the show before.
00:49:08A male guest performed beautifully on screen.
00:49:11After the woman chose him and left with him, she discovered he was a wanted fugitive.
00:49:16Putting on one face while hiding another?
00:49:19It's happened.
00:49:19The host has a point.
00:49:21No wonder something felt off.
00:49:22He knows the mafia queen.
00:49:24Something's not right there.
00:49:25I can't even imagine finding out the man I chose was a fugitive.
00:49:30That's terrifying.
00:49:32No, I swear on my company.
00:49:34My father is not a fugitive.
00:49:38He's an ordinary man.
00:49:40As for how he knows Evie, I can explain that.
00:49:44Your company?
00:49:45Yes.
00:49:46I have my own securities firm on Wall Street.
00:49:49My father probably met Evie at Ms. Kane's birthday party.
00:49:52So you dress like a bum to hide who you are?
00:49:56I think your whole family loves to lie.
00:49:59A family of frauds.
00:50:01How is anyone supposed to trust that?
00:50:03If you're so sure your father has nothing to hide, why don't we just go see for ourselves live,
00:50:07unannounced, right to his old house?
00:50:09Let everyone see exactly who James is.
00:50:12Well?
00:50:15That's...
00:50:22Almost time.
00:50:24Discounted bread at the supermarket right now.
00:50:26Best deal of the day.
00:50:29Come on, come with me.
00:50:31Help me pick a few things.
00:50:32Sure, we're just about done cleaning anyway.
00:50:34Let's go.
00:50:40Look at that.
00:50:41This is the great man you kept your light on for?
00:50:43A guy obsessing over discount bread?
00:50:46Probably a guy on the run.
00:50:48I still think Mr. James is a decent man.
00:50:51Going to the supermarket for deals is completely normal.
00:50:55It proves nothing.
00:50:56But what if there is something?
00:50:58He knows the mafia queen?
00:51:01Who knows what he gets up to behind closed doors?
00:51:04Let's just go to his house.
00:51:06Live on air.
00:51:08The truth will come out.
00:51:10Mr. Diane, take us to James' house for a live search right now.
00:51:14Let everyone see what he's hiding.
00:51:18Let's go see!
00:51:19Let's go see!
00:51:21Live stream it!
00:51:21Live stream it!
00:51:27Diane, the ratings are through the roof.
00:51:29Everyone wants to know who this James really is.
00:51:31James isn't even home right now.
00:51:33Perfect timing.
00:51:34Take some of the guests over.
00:51:36Film whatever you can find.
00:51:37Understood.
00:51:38Before we go, we want to hear from you.
00:51:40Do you give us permission to go to your father's home?
00:51:46Yes, I agree.
00:51:47I trust my dad completely.
00:51:50Clear conscience.
00:51:51Audience, we have just received word.
00:51:53We are heading to Mr. James' home for a live visit.
00:51:57Let the truth come to light.
00:52:21This place is a dump.
00:52:23Old, falling apart, you call this a home?
00:52:26My shoes are going to get dirty.
00:52:39I think it has character.
00:52:42An old house doesn't reflect the owner's character.
00:52:45Mr. James lives alone.
00:52:47Of course, some things don't get tidied up.
00:52:50You're surprisingly patient.
00:52:52I'm busy with work most of the time.
00:52:55I don't get back to the country much.
00:52:57Dad lives here by himself.
00:52:59He likes the quiet.
00:53:00Not big on tidying up.
00:53:02But he's a genuinely good person.
00:53:17He reads a lot.
00:53:31What is this?
00:53:38Car keys?
00:53:39This many?
00:53:40This many?
00:53:41Rolls Royce?
00:53:42Lamborghini?
00:53:43Oh my god.
00:53:46Are these real?
00:53:51These are real keys.
00:53:54I knew it!
00:53:55James is hiding something huge!
00:53:58A country old man with this many luxury car keys just tossed in a drawer?
00:54:03These could be stolen.
00:54:04Something is very off.
00:54:08Right.
00:54:09This is not normal.
00:54:32Oh my god.
00:54:33Is that the president?
00:54:34And this one?
00:54:36That is a Hollywood A-lister!
00:54:40Who is this man?
00:54:45I've never seen any of these photos before.
00:54:49Where did all of these come from?
00:54:52You're not actually buying this, are you?
00:54:54These are obviously photoshopped.
00:55:04Lucas, where is your father?
00:55:06Tell him to come out and face me.
00:55:20Mrs. Kane, what brings you out to a place like this?
00:55:23Is there anything I can help you with?
00:55:27Lucas, where is James?
00:55:28Tell him to get out here.
00:55:31I had a small argument with him at the party.
00:55:33I said I needed to reconsider being his girlfriend.
00:55:36And he goes and signs up for a dating show?
00:55:38And sends his own son to do it?
00:55:43Girlfriend?
00:55:44Miss Kane, are you saying you're my dad's girlfriend?
00:55:49Oh my god.
00:55:51The finance queen, Miss Kane, is calling herself this country old man's girlfriend?
00:55:57Miss Kane, what exactly is going on?
00:56:00Miss Kane, you must be joking.
00:56:03Someone like James couldn't possibly-
00:56:05I'm not joking.
00:56:06James is my boyfriend.
00:56:09When Fargo Group hit a funding crisis, he invested a billion dollars and pulled us through.
00:56:15A billion?
00:56:17He put up a billion?
00:56:19How?
00:56:22I think we made a mistake.
00:56:24How is that possible?
00:56:25He never told me any of this.
00:56:34These photos, are they all real?
00:56:39But James just looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.
00:56:42Old, rough around the edges.
00:56:44You're telling me he's rich?
00:56:45A billion dollars?
00:56:46That's insane!
00:56:47Right.
00:56:48He lives in this run-down house and buys discount bread at the supermarket.
00:56:51He doesn't look like a rich man at all.
00:56:53I honestly have no idea.
00:56:55He never said a word to me about any of this.
00:56:58See?
00:56:59The money's dirty.
00:57:00Otherwise, why would he hide it even from his own son?
00:57:03Miss Kane, be careful.
00:57:05That billion he invested in you could be dirty money.
00:57:07If it ever comes to light, you'll be dragged into it too.
00:57:14I don't think so.
00:57:16I don't think so.
00:57:16Mr. James might just be a very low-profile person.
00:57:18It makes sense for a powerful man to lay low.
00:57:21You've watched too many romance movies.
00:57:24Someone powerful hiding his identity?
00:57:26Wake up!
00:57:26This is real life, not real short.
00:57:37What's that sound?
00:57:38What's going on outside?
00:57:39Quick, let's go look!
00:57:54Dad?
00:57:56Bread at half price today.
00:57:58Great deal.
00:57:58I should stock up and freeze some for later.
00:58:05What is going on?
00:58:07Why are there so many people in my house?
00:58:08Lucas, I need you to explain yourself.
00:58:11Dad, I signed you up for Soul Resonance without telling you.
00:58:13I just wanted you to settle down, find someone stable, have a real life.
00:58:18Now it's your turn to explain.
00:58:20The luxury car keys, the photo wall, you arriving by helicopter to buy discount bread.
00:58:25What is going on?
00:58:28Explain what?
00:58:29Kid, you really went all out for your dad's matchmaking.
00:58:32You brought in the finance queen, Miss Kane, rented a helicopter for the performance.
00:58:37Typical for a kid raised by a single dad.
00:58:41Born, but never raised right.
00:58:44What did you just say?
00:58:48Ruby, watch your mouth.
00:58:50That is out of line. How dare you say something like that?
00:58:52Oh, was I wrong?
00:58:54You look familiar.
00:58:55Senior exec at Winston Capital on Wall Street, right?
00:58:59So you have some eye for detail.
00:59:02You're fired.
00:59:05Is this a joke?
00:59:06Who do you think you are? Some country old man thinks he can fire me?
00:59:13Hello, what is it?
00:59:14Ruby, you're fired. Come in Monday to clear out your things.
00:59:17This came straightly from the top.
00:59:18What? Boss, there must be some mistake.
00:59:20No mistake. You crossed the wrong person. Sort yourself out.
00:59:25It's you?
00:59:28What did you do to our company? Why was I suddenly fired? How does a country hick have this kind
00:59:37of pull?
00:59:37Winston Capital is a subsidiary of a fund holding company I own. I also have silent controlling stakes in dozens
00:59:46of top global funds and energy companies.
00:59:51It's impossible. This can't be real.
00:59:54Dad, you're actually a big shot?
00:59:57I told you so. You just never believed me.
01:00:00Mr. James, I should let you know your son is still on Soul Resonance and Miss Clara has kept her
01:00:05light on for you from the very beginning.
01:00:07She's the only one. The reverse selection round is now open. Would you like to get to know her further?
01:00:15Mr. James, would you choose me as your girlfriend?
01:00:20I genuinely want to get to know you.
01:00:26James! You haven't forgotten that I'm your girlfriend, have you?
01:00:31You said you needed to think about it.
01:00:33I said, I am your girlfriend.
01:00:40James, you shameless old man. Running around chasing every woman in sight. You're going to explain yourself to me. Tonight.
01:00:49Whose place are you going to tonight? Yes! Explain yourself. Mr. James?
01:00:55I just remembered I have something urgent to take care of.
01:01:01James! Don't you dare move! Running? Not a chance. Mr. James, please wait!
01:01:09Go! Go! Take off!
01:01:16I just wanted to find him someone steady.
01:01:20I don't think finding a partner is going to be his problem.
01:01:29A friend of my friend, I would like you to let him reach out.
01:01:32All the norway in the queue.
