12:05was invisible she never left and then she couldn't leave she got tired the kind of tired that doesn't
12:11go away with sleep I get it my parents had a flower shop on Elm Street 22 years then Richard
12:15Whitmore's
12:15company came in with a development loan predatory rates hidden fees balloon payment by the time they
12:19realized what happened the shop was gone the house was gone everything Whitmore did that to your family
12:23my dad never recovered that's why I can't stand rich people Jake not because of the money because they
12:29take everything from people like us and they don't even remember our names Maya I can I'm gonna make
12:35sure he sorry I need it one second Richard's PI pulled the LLC registration for crown and ash the

14:30Maya Maya wait
14:3840 percent 40 percent revenue drop in three months someone is playing God in my town and they didn't ask
14:46for my
14:46permission I've traced the shell companies behind embrel crown and ash and four other new businesses on
14:52main street they all trace back to a holding company registered in Delaware Morrison Capital Holdings
14:56Morrison who is Morrison that's the problem it's a ghost no photo no public bio no social media the
15:03holding company's sole director is a law firm in the city Leon Ashworth's firm and Ashworth won't
15:07return my calls someone is spending hundreds of millions to buy up my town and they don't even
15:11want anyone to know they exist that's not investment that's war there is one thing it might be
15:20nothing might be everything talk I cross reference the dates when these businesses made major moves lease signings
15:26contractor meetings grand openings then I check them against local employment records every single time one of
15:30these stores had a critical event a certain part-time worker at one of the businesses happened to be on
15:34his day
15:34off from his main job what main job a diner across the street from Ember the kid works the counter
15:39names Jake
15:40Morrison Morrison like the holding company that's either a coincidence or the dumbest stake this ghost ever made
15:46want me to dig deeper bank records phone logs surveillance not yet if this kid is the one behind all
15:52of this I
15:54don't want to spook him I want to watch him if this diner boy is playing games I won't just

19:05never lost a case
19:06I'm honored you accepted my invitation
19:07when the biggest name in town buys you dinner
19:09only a fool says no
19:10what can I do for you Richard
19:11I'll be direct
19:12someone is buying up Main Street
19:15systematically
19:15aggressively
19:16every acquisition runs through a Delaware shell
19:18called Morrison Capital Holdings
19:20and every legal document traces back to your firm
19:22I have hundreds of clients Richard
19:24I can't discuss any of them
19:25attorney-client privilege
19:25I'm sure you understand
19:26you have lawyers of your own
19:27privilege of course
19:28but let me share something that isn't privilege
19:30in four months I've lost 12 tenants
19:31six commercial leases
19:32and 40% of my quarterly revenue
19:34that's not competition
19:35that's a siege
19:36and sieges have generals
19:37sounds like the market is shifting
19:38Main Street is evolving
19:40a new steakhouse a jewelry store
19:41they bring foot traffic
19:42that should help your properties
19:43not hurt them
19:44let me show you something interesting
19:45every one of these businesses
19:46Ember, Crown & Ash
19:47the boutique on 5th
19:48they all had critical events on the same dates
19:50lease signings
19:51opening supply contracts
19:52and on every one of those dates
19:54a part-time worker
19:55at one of these establishments
19:56happened to have the day off
19:57from his regular job
19:58a waiter
19:59at the diner across the street from Ember
20:00a waiter?
20:01Richard, you're telling me
20:02a diner waiter is behind
20:03a $300 million acquisition campaign?
20:05that's creative
20:05his name is Jake Morrison
20:06the holding company is called
20:08Morrison Capital
20:09you don't find that interesting?
20:10Morrison is the 7th most common surname
20:12in this state
20:12I have 3 Morrisons in my phone book
20:14and none of them own a diner
20:16that diner by the way
20:17the one across from me
20:18to make a decent apple pie
20:19should try it sometime
20:20if you haven't already
20:21he has the timeline
20:22he has your name
20:23he made a point of mentioning
20:24Maple Diner
20:24he wanted me to react
20:25and Jake
20:26I think I did
20:27just for a second
20:27how long do we have?
20:28he's gonna pull your bank records
20:30when he does
20:30the accounts are clean
20:31I made sure of that
20:32but the pattern is the pattern
20:33you show up at every property we own
20:35in a town of 8,000 people
20:36that's not a coincidence
20:37then we speed up
20:38how much of Whitmore properties
20:39can we take before he figures it out?
20:40you need to decide
20:41keep hiding in that apron
20:42or fight
20:58$4,000?
21:00$4,000?
21:00I'm engaged to $4,000?
21:04Jake?
21:04are you here to remind your ex-boyfriend
21:06how broke he is
21:06or did you just run out of new ways
21:07to humiliate me this week?
21:08Jake, can we talk?
21:09please
21:09just five minutes
21:10I made a mistake, Jake
21:11the worst mistake of my life
21:13Blake is
21:13he's not who I thought he was
21:14he drinks
21:15he yells
21:15he
21:16I'm scared
21:17I'm so scared, Jake
21:18you're the only person
21:19who ever really cared about me
21:20the only person who cared about you
21:21right
21:22and how did that work out for me, Sophie?
21:24I know I hurt you
21:25I know
21:25but people change, Jake
21:27I've changed
21:27I see things clearly now
21:29you were the real one
21:30you were always the real one
21:31did you forget how you treated me once before?
21:33you took out a single penny
21:34and declared that was my entire value
21:35and you laughed right along with me
21:36I was confused
21:37he had money
21:38and I was stupid and shallow
21:39but I'm here now
21:40doesn't that count for something?
21:41I learned value that night
21:41that I'd rather be worth a penny to myself
21:43than a million who throws people away
21:44you'll regret this
21:45you know that, right, right?
21:46I came here to give you a second chance
21:47nobody gives you second chances, Jake
21:49take it back
21:49you earned it
21:51you think you're better than me now?
