00:00:00Choose one to be your mate.
00:00:02None of them. I choose Daemon, the crippled Alpha.
00:00:05I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:00:08Yet, I was born a female Alpha,
00:00:11who couldn't even maintain a stable wolf form.
00:00:14I spent ten years chasing after Kaylin Stone,
00:00:17until one day, standing outside his bedroom door,
00:00:20I heard him swear to Vivian Moss.
00:00:23I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:00:25You're the only one I want.
00:00:26The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived,
00:00:29when a servant screamed,
00:00:31Help! Vivian is missing!
00:00:32Then she appeared, crying, running.
00:00:35It was Lyra. She had me taken.
00:00:38My head snapped to the side.
00:00:40Silence swallowed the entire hall.
00:00:42Then he looked at me.
00:00:43I will never mark someone like you.
00:00:46Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate.
00:00:49If everything comes down to power and survival,
00:00:51then I choose strength, not sentiment.
00:00:53Choose one to be your mate.
00:00:54One of these potential Alpha candidates
00:00:56will become the next Alpha of our pack.
00:00:59None of them.
00:01:02I choose Daemon.
00:01:04The crippled Alpha.
00:01:06I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack.
00:01:10Yet, I was born a female Alpha.
00:01:12Everyone said that the five orphans my father brought back from the battlefield
00:01:16were the true future of the pack.
00:01:18He raised them into the most admired beta warriors in Iron Moon.
00:01:23As for me,
00:01:23I was nothing more than a pretty heir with noble blood
00:01:27who couldn't even maintain a stable wolf form.
00:01:30And as far as those five were concerned,
00:01:32I barely existed.
00:01:34I spent ten years chasing after Caelan Stone,
00:01:37only to earn countless looks of disdain in return.
00:01:40I used to think he treated all women that way.
00:01:43Until one day,
00:01:44standing outside his bedroom door,
00:01:46I heard him swear to Vivian Moss.
00:01:48I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:01:51You're the only mate I want.
00:01:53Maybe I'll do.
00:01:55Those words shattered everything I had believed in for the past ten years.
00:02:00On the eve of the Elders' Council meeting,
00:02:02my father asked me who I wanted to choose.
00:02:04I thought of the way all five of them avoided my gaze.
00:02:08If I'm getting married, I might as well make it strategic.
00:02:11I choose Daemon Bloodfing of the Bloodfill Pack.
00:02:14Daemon was poisoned by silver five years ago.
00:02:17His legs were left paralyzed,
00:02:18and rumors say he can't even complete a mating mark anymore.
00:02:21Are you sure?
00:02:23Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate.
00:02:26If everything comes down to power and survival,
00:02:28then I choose strength, not sentiment.
00:02:31Daemon may be crippled,
00:02:32but his bloodline, his pack, and his warriors
00:02:34still outweigh those five men combined.
00:02:36My father's expression darkened.
00:02:38You say that so easily,
00:02:39but are you telling me
00:02:41none of the five boys I raised for you
00:02:43ever caught your attention?
00:02:44My mother had been my father's only mate.
00:02:47She died the year I was born.
00:02:48A rogue attack.
00:02:50Too much blood loss.
00:02:51No second chance.
00:02:52After that, he never took another mate.
00:02:55But he also never fully believed
00:02:56a female alpha could carry Iron Moon alone.
00:02:59So he followed the Council's recommendation.
00:03:01He brought back five orphaned boys from the battlefield
00:03:04and raised them inside Iron Moon.
00:03:06He made one rule from the beginning.
00:03:08No matter who I chose,
00:03:10that man would be granted alpha status,
00:03:12meant to rule beside me.
00:03:14Not beneath me.
00:03:15That was his compromise.
00:03:17Love me fiercely.
00:03:18And still not trust me enough to do it alone.
00:03:21I met his gaze.
00:03:22My bond with Daemon Bloodbold
00:03:23doesn't require sentiment.
00:03:25It only requires succession.
00:03:27He is the sole heir of Bloodbold
00:03:29that makes him more valuable
00:03:30than any arranged foster alliance you built here.
00:03:33Compared to relying on adopted sons
00:03:35to stabilize Iron Moon,
00:03:37an alliance with a true power pack
00:03:39is simply the rational choice.
00:03:41Silence stretched between us.
00:03:44If none of them were able to hold your attention,
00:03:46then there is no reason to keep them in Iron Moon.
00:03:49We left the Council Hall together.
00:03:51My father cast Caelan a brief, unreadable glance
00:03:54before walking out.
00:03:57What did you report this time?
00:04:01Let me guess.
00:04:02She ran to Alpha again
00:04:03because we didn't treat her like royalty.
00:04:06Princess Lyra didn't get enough attention
00:04:07so she needed to complain.
00:04:10Orion and Riven followed with quiet snorts,
00:04:12barely even trying to hide it.
00:04:14Five voices,
00:04:15one direction,
00:04:17all aimed at me,
00:04:18like a wall closing in.
00:04:20If none of you want to mark me,
00:04:22why hasn't a single one of you
00:04:23ever told my father directly?
00:04:25My father didn't force bonds.
00:04:27He never had.
00:04:28One clear refusal would have been enough.
00:04:30He would have released them with wealth and freedom
00:04:32and never looked back.
00:04:34But none of them ever said it.
00:04:36Not once.
00:04:37Because none of them actually wanted to leave the Iron Moon pack.
00:04:40Not the future it promised.
00:04:42Stop dressing it up.
00:04:44We're just fostered wolves living in Iron Moon.
00:04:46What choice do you think we actually have?
00:04:49Just pick me if you're going to pick anyone.
00:04:51Don't drag them into your mess.
00:04:52For a second,
00:04:54the others went quiet.
00:04:55Almost moved.
00:04:56Like he was taking the burden of sacrifice onto himself.
00:04:59But all I felt was a slow,
00:05:01bitter weight settling in my chest.
00:05:04Nothing else.
00:05:05Then,
00:05:05Vivian showed up.
00:05:06The moment her eyes landed on me,
00:05:08she shifted back,
00:05:10instinctively,
00:05:11and slipped behind Caelan.
00:05:13She didn't do anything.
00:05:14Drop it for today.
00:05:17I stared at them.
00:05:19Five men.
00:05:19The same five who were supposed to stand behind me.
00:05:23Now all of them stood in front of her.
00:05:26Protecting her from me.
00:05:27Something in my memory snapped open.
00:05:30One year ago.
00:05:31Not long after Vivian arrived at Iron Moon.
00:05:33That night,
00:05:34I carried healing broth to Caelan's quarters.
00:05:36He'd been injured during border patrol.
00:05:38He told me not to come.
00:05:40I still did.
00:05:41His door wasn't fully shut.
00:05:44Caelan,
00:05:44are you really going to mark Lyra?
00:05:48My hand froze on the doorframe.
00:05:50No.
00:05:52I won't mark her.
00:05:54My chest tightened before I even understood why.
00:05:56Then why did you agree to Alpha Ronan?
00:06:00Because that's the only way I can become Alpha of Iron Moon.
00:06:05And Lyra,
00:06:06she's just stepping stone.
00:06:08Once I take control,
00:06:09I'll send her away.
00:06:13Then what about me?
00:06:16You?
00:06:17You're the only one I want.
00:06:19Once I take Alpha,
00:06:21I'll mark you publicly.
00:06:22You'll be my Luna.
00:06:26She can't even shift right.
00:06:28Luna?
00:06:29Seriously?
00:06:32She's only valuable because of her bloodline.
00:06:35Nothing else.
00:06:38Does she actually believe
00:06:39we'd choose her?
00:06:42When she finds out,
00:06:44she's going to break.
00:06:47Like it was already decided.
00:06:49Then you won't
00:06:50lie to me,
00:06:52right?
00:06:53I swear.
00:06:55Only you.
00:06:57The bowl slipped from my hands.
00:06:58It hit the ground and shattered.
00:07:03Who's there?
00:07:04I moved into the shadow beside the doorway
00:07:06and held my breath.
00:07:08Caelan stepped out.
00:07:09His eyes dropped to the broken bowl.
00:07:12A cat.
00:07:14I stayed where I was.
00:07:15Didn't speak.
00:07:16Didn't cry.
00:07:17Didn't make a sound.
00:07:18Only when the silence settled
00:07:20did I step back.
00:07:21Into the moonlight.
00:07:22It spilled across my face
00:07:24like something too clean
00:07:25for what I was feeling.
00:07:29The next morning,
00:07:30I met Vivian in the garden.
00:07:31She was holding a bowl
00:07:32of flower essence,
00:07:33smiling like she had been
00:07:34waiting for me.
00:07:36Good morning, Lyra.
00:07:38Sleep well?
00:07:39Now there was ease
00:07:40in her expression.
00:07:42Confidence.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:44She paused,
00:07:45just for a second.
00:07:47Lyra,
00:07:47this was my mother's.
00:07:49I wanted you to have it.
00:07:51Thank you
00:07:51for everything you've done for me.
00:07:53Before I could respond,
00:07:55Caelan appeared.
00:07:57You're seriously
00:07:58taking her mother's relic?
00:08:00Now?
00:08:01I froze.
00:08:02Vivian dropped instantly,
00:08:04knees to the ground.
00:08:06It wasn't Lyra.
00:08:08I gave it to her.
00:08:09Please,
00:08:10don't blame her.
00:08:11She slammed her forehead
00:08:12into the ground.
00:08:13Again.
00:08:14Blood showed
00:08:15almost immediately.
00:08:16Merrick arrived first.
00:08:17Then Corbin,
00:08:18Orion,
00:08:19Riven.
00:08:20Lyra!
00:08:21Enough!
00:08:22You're the heir,
00:08:24not a bully.
00:08:25You have everything.
00:08:26And you still take
00:08:27the only thing she has?
00:08:30Riven drew his dagger
00:08:31in one smooth motion.
00:08:33Apologize.
00:08:34And Alpha Air
00:08:34boxed in on all sides.
00:08:36They weren't asking.
00:08:38They were pressing me down,
00:08:39forcing submission,
00:08:41forcing my neck
00:08:41exposed to an Omega
00:08:43who was clearly
00:08:44playing a game
00:08:44they refused to see.
00:08:46Vivian kept her head lowered,
00:08:48but I caught it anyway,
00:08:49that small,
00:08:50satisfied curve
00:08:51at the corner of her mouth.
00:08:52I didn't fight back,
00:08:54because somewhere deep down,
00:08:55there was still
00:08:56a stupid,
00:08:57fragile part of me
00:08:58that waited.
00:08:59Maybe Kalen would step in.
00:09:01Maybe he'd say,
00:09:02this doesn't add up.
00:09:03He didn't.
00:09:05Apologize,
00:09:06or I don't
00:09:07mark you.
00:09:09That line
00:09:09landed harder
00:09:10than anything else,
00:09:11because I had already
00:09:12given him
00:09:13everything I had in me.
00:09:14I couldn't afford
00:09:15to lose him.
00:09:16Not then.
00:09:17So I lowered my head.
00:09:19My throat burned
00:09:20as I exposed my neck.
00:09:21I'm sorry.
00:09:22And that moment,
00:09:23that single submission,
00:09:25lasted a year.
00:09:27After that day,
00:09:28Vivian changed
00:09:28how she moved around me,
00:09:30like I was something dangerous.
00:09:31Sometimes she dropped
00:09:32to her knees
00:09:33the moment she saw me.
00:09:34Sometimes she hid
00:09:35behind the five of them,
00:09:36shaking,
00:09:37crying on cue,
00:09:38and I did nothing.
00:09:40Once,
00:09:40she tripped in the garden,
00:09:41a shallow scrape
00:09:42on her knee,
00:09:43nothing serious,
00:09:44but she ran straight
00:09:45to Kalen in tears,
00:09:47claiming I had pushed her.
00:09:48No questions asked.
00:09:49All five of them
00:09:51came for me.
00:09:51They tore through
00:09:52my quarters like a storm,
00:09:54everything broken,
00:09:55everything scattered.
00:09:56If you touch her again,
00:09:58break our wolf legs myself.
00:10:00I almost laughed.
00:10:01Wolf legs.
00:10:02I couldn't even shift properly,
00:10:04but it didn't matter.
00:10:05They believed her.
00:10:07Always her.
00:10:08The memory snapped back
00:10:09like a pulled thread.
00:10:11Vivian was still
00:10:11behind Kalen now,
00:10:13smiling faintly,
00:10:14like she had already
00:10:15won something
00:10:16no one else could see.
00:10:17If you're that afraid,
00:10:18I'll hurt her.
00:10:18You might as well
00:10:19leash her to your side.
00:10:21Are you threatening me?
00:10:22What are you planning
00:10:23to do to her?
00:10:25Let me guess.
00:10:27Now that we gave Vivian
00:10:28a Starfall Sanctum,
00:10:29you're finally snapping?
00:10:30You already have everything,
00:10:32and she has nothing.
00:10:33It's just Starfall Sanctum.
00:10:35Why are you acting like
00:10:36this is some tragedy?
00:10:38My gaze sharpened.
00:10:39Starfall Sanctum?
00:10:41Starfall Sanctum
00:10:42wasn't just a place.
00:10:43It was a buried lunar basin
00:10:44deep under Iron Moon territory.
00:10:46When it hit the sacred waters,
00:10:48it refracted into something
00:10:49that looked like a galaxy
00:10:50trapped underground.
00:10:52My father spent 18 years
00:10:54building it.
00:10:55For me,
00:10:56a coming-of-age gift.
00:10:57Half a year ago,
00:10:58as it neared completion,
00:11:00he handed oversight
00:11:01to Kalen.
00:11:02He was supposed to present it
00:11:03to me on my ceremony day.
00:11:04Instead,
00:11:05it never reached me.
00:11:07It went to Vivian.
00:11:08My eyes locked on Kalen.
00:11:10He was the one
00:11:11who controlled final access.
00:11:12No one entered
00:11:13without his approval.
00:11:15Vivian grew up
00:11:15on the outskirts of the pack.
00:11:17She's never seen
00:11:18a real night sky.
00:11:19I gave her a moment.
00:11:21That's all.
00:11:22The Sanctum is still
00:11:23yours on paper.
00:11:26Don't turn this
00:11:27into something it isn't.
00:11:28And stop making a scene.
00:11:30If it comes to it,
00:11:31I'll announce
00:11:31our mating bond
00:11:32at your coming-of-age
00:11:33ceremony next month.
00:11:34That should satisfy you enough.
00:11:36Right?
00:11:37The way Kalen looked at me,
00:11:39calm,
00:11:39almost magnanimous,
00:11:41made...
00:11:42made something cold
00:11:43twist in my chest.
00:11:45For a second,
00:11:46I almost wondered
00:11:47if I was the one
00:11:48who didn't belong here.
00:11:50If anything,
00:11:50they looked at him
00:11:51like he was making
00:11:52some kind of
00:11:53noble sacrifice.
00:11:54You really don't have
00:11:55to go this far.
00:11:57Lyra's spoiled.
00:11:58Ruthless.
00:11:59Marking her
00:12:00is no different
00:12:00than marking...
00:12:02a stone.
00:12:03At least you'll finally
00:12:04get what she's been
00:12:05chasing for years.
00:12:06Kalen,
00:12:07don't do this for me.
00:12:08If it helps,
00:12:09I'll kneel to her.
00:12:10I'll beg.
00:12:11I'll do anything she wants.
00:12:12I swallowed once.
00:12:14Hard.
00:12:15I won't choose you.
00:12:16Kalen's brow lifted slightly,
00:12:18like he was still deciding
00:12:19whether I was serious.
00:12:20Merrick and Corbin
00:12:21exchanged a look,
00:12:22like they were more afraid
00:12:23I'd choose them instead.
00:12:25That alone
00:12:25hit something deep
00:12:26in my chest.
00:12:27Ten years,
00:12:29standing behind them,
00:12:30and still,
00:12:31I was the only one
00:12:32treated like I didn't belong
00:12:33in the same space.
00:12:34I turned to leave.
00:12:36Vivian caught my wrist.
00:12:37Then she dropped instantly,
00:12:38knees to the ground,
00:12:40head lowered.
00:12:41Please,
00:12:42don't make this harder
00:12:43for Kalen.
00:12:44The five of them
00:12:45were brought into Iron Moon.
00:12:46They were never equal
00:12:47to begin with.
00:12:48If you're going to report this
00:12:49over Starfall Sanctuary,
00:12:51I'll apologize.
00:12:52I'll do whatever you want.
00:12:54Then she started bowing.
00:12:56Fast.
00:12:57Hard.
00:12:57Her forehead hit the ground
00:12:59until blood appeared.
00:13:00Kalen moved immediately.
00:13:01He pulled her up,
00:13:03jaw tight.
00:13:04So you say you won't choose me,
00:13:05but when the time comes,
00:13:07don't change your mind.
00:13:09This whole thing,
00:13:11you're just trying
00:13:11to pressure her indirectly.
00:13:13You just want an excuse
00:13:15to report her
00:13:15and force her out,
00:13:16don't you?
00:13:17I don't care what you think.
00:13:18I won't choose you.
00:13:22Kalen grabbed my wrist,
00:13:23hard.
00:13:24Not me?
00:13:25Then who?
00:13:26Marek?
00:13:27Corbin?
00:13:28Mark wants freedom.
00:13:30Corbin wants peace.
00:13:32Haven't you already
00:13:32taken enough from them?
00:13:34If you agree to stop
00:13:35targeting Vivian,
00:13:36I'll mark you.
00:13:39Just stop this.
00:13:41That's all I'm asking.
00:13:42For the first time,
00:13:43he looked exhausted.
00:13:44Like I had been the one
00:13:45wearing him down for years.
00:13:46I held his gaze
00:13:47for a long moment,
00:13:48then said quietly,
00:13:50Everything will go
00:13:51the way you want.
00:13:52He was afraid
00:13:53I'd hurt Vivian.
00:13:54He refused to mark me.
00:13:55Fine.
00:13:56Once I became
00:13:57Damon Bloodfang's mate,
00:13:58none of this would matter anyway.
00:13:59The day of my
00:14:00coming-of-age ceremony
00:14:01arrived.
00:14:02Iron Moon had been
00:14:03transformed.
00:14:05Everyone knew
00:14:06why they were here.
00:14:07Not just my 18th birthday.
00:14:09My mate declaration.
00:14:11And everyone already
00:14:13knew the outcome.
00:14:14Kalen Stone.
00:14:16Because I had chased him
00:14:17for 10 years.
00:14:19Because the entire pack
00:14:20had watched it happen.
00:14:22The five of them
00:14:22stood in the front row.
00:14:24Even the guests
00:14:25looked at them
00:14:26more than they looked at me.
00:14:27Like this ceremony
00:14:28belonged to them.
00:14:30I was about to
00:14:31shut down the whispers
00:14:32when a servant screamed.
00:14:34Help!
00:14:35Vivian is missing!
00:14:36There's a note!
00:14:37She's been kidnapped!
00:14:39The shift was immediate.
00:14:41Merrick moved first.
00:14:43Before I could even turn,
00:14:45my head snapped to the side.
00:14:48Silence swallowed
00:14:49the entire hall.
00:14:50The pain landed
00:14:51a beat too late.
00:14:53Around us,
00:14:54people scattered instinctively.
00:14:56Kalen grabbed Merrick's arm
00:14:57before he could swing again.
00:14:59Then he looked at me.
00:15:02We already stood here
00:15:03like you're choosing between us,
00:15:04like we're disposable.
00:15:05And it still isn't enough!
00:15:07His voice sharpened.
00:15:08Do you want her dead?
00:15:10I stared back at him.
00:15:11Corbin looked at me
00:15:12like I was something contaminated.
00:15:14You waited until she was alone
00:15:16and staged this.
00:15:17You really think
00:15:18we won't see through it?
00:15:19That's when it clicked.
00:15:20Not confusion.
00:15:21Clarity.
00:15:22Vivian had done this
00:15:23again.
00:15:24And this time,
00:15:26she'd done it
00:15:27in front of everyone.
00:15:28No one moved
00:15:29to intervene.
00:15:30Not after I was slapped
00:15:32in public.
00:15:32Not after I stood there
00:15:34bleeding pride.
00:15:35Because they had already
00:15:37made their decision.
00:15:38Iron Moon wasn't mine
00:15:40in their eyes.
00:15:41Apologize.
00:15:42He let out a short,
00:15:43humorless laugh.
00:15:45Vivian nearly lost
00:15:46her innocence
00:15:47and you're worried
00:15:48about a slap?
00:15:48Then she appeared.
00:15:50Crying.
00:15:51Running.
00:15:53Her dress torn,
00:15:54dirt stained,
00:15:55like she had barely
00:15:56escaped something violent.
00:15:58It was Lyra.
00:16:00She had me taken.
00:16:03She said she'd have
00:16:04rogue wolves
00:16:05to violate me.
00:16:08So I'd never come back.
00:16:09The hall detonated.
00:16:11Whispers turned
00:16:12into outrage.
00:16:14Shock into judgment.
00:16:16Kaylin didn't hesitate.
00:16:17He pulled his coat
00:16:18around her like she was
00:16:19something fragile
00:16:20and irreplaceable.
00:16:22Then he looked at me.
00:16:23You don't stop,
00:16:25do you?
00:16:25His voice dropped.
00:16:27I will never mark
00:16:28someone like you.
00:16:30The world below
00:16:31is a hundred times
00:16:32tougher than stone!
00:16:36That skinning knife
00:16:37of yours could never
00:16:38cut through the iron wall
00:16:39of the god's will!
00:16:50ktoś above died!
00:16:52Dad!
00:16:53Huh!
00:16:56Uh!
00:16:58Yeah!
00:17:02Yeah!
00:17:03Hmm.
00:17:06You're supposed to be
00:17:06Come here!
00:17:07Come here!
00:17:09And I...
00:17:09Come here!
00:17:10Let's go!
00:17:11Hey!
00:17:11Hey!
00:17:11Let's go!
00:17:12Come here!
00:17:14Come here!
00:17:17Well...
00:17:20Everything has a weakness.
00:17:28Even the gods.
00:17:34I've lived for thousands of years, and this is the first time a mortal has defeated me.
00:17:39And you've only trained for a mere dozen years.
00:17:42Master, I'm going down the mountain. I need to find my birth parents.
00:17:45The world below is a mire of divine rule.
00:17:48You bear no spark of divinity, no blessing from the gods.
00:17:51Those self-proclaimed noble beings will never accept you.
00:17:55I don't want pity from Olympian. All I seek is the truth.
00:17:59When I found you at the bottom of the Abyss Valley all those years ago, this ring was on you.
00:18:05Go, tear down those hypocritical figures perched high above all else.
00:18:14Agus was still holding back.
00:18:16Though he cannot wield divine power like those with a divine spark, he still carries the pure blood of a
00:18:21titan.
00:18:22Blood unseen in millennia.
00:18:24No one in this world will ever be able to defeat him.
00:18:33Father. Mother. How do I find you?
00:18:44Princess Elara! There's nowhere left for you to run!
00:18:47A princess?
00:18:49You'd go so far as to wipe out the heirs of other bloodlines.
00:18:52For what? Just to force more people to serve the god of war?
00:18:55Your actions bring nothing but shame to Erest!
00:18:58The Zeus you worship is powerless.
00:19:00Sparta's throne deserves a new ruler.
00:19:02Our leader!
00:19:07Still here. You want to die or what?
00:19:09This is a feud between our houses.
00:19:11Don't rag an innocent bystander into it. Let him leave.
00:19:13Just a lowly Majerus.
00:19:15No one will care if he dies.
00:19:17Though you, princess, I've always wondered what it would be like to have you.
00:19:23I'll hold them off!
00:19:24Run while you can!
00:19:40Now it's your turn.
00:20:02Did you save me?
00:20:05Princess, you're awake.
00:20:07Those soldiers, the Erest Seelits, did they hurt you?
00:20:11No.
00:20:12Thank the gods, but you are immortal.
00:20:16How were you able to rescue me from foes wielding a god's blessing?
00:20:21Remember this.
00:20:23The pure blood of a titan runs through your veins.
00:20:26Until you are strong enough to stand against Olympus, you must guard this knowledge.
00:20:32The beach!
00:20:32Otherwise, the gods will hunt you down and destroy you.
00:20:40I've lived on Mount Pelia my whole life, since I was born without a divine spark.
00:20:44I worked as a ritual skinner at the temple for years.
00:20:46I'm far stronger and more agile than ordinary men.
00:20:49The chaos that broke out from the fight was enough to slip out with you unnoticed.
00:20:53I see.
00:20:54May the gods watch over you.
00:21:06We've never met before, so why do I feel such a strange sense of closeness to this princess?
00:21:11If father hadn't cast my younger brother into the abyss all those years ago, he would be
00:21:15about this tall now.
00:21:18Princess, where will you go next?
00:21:21Back to the royal palace in Sparta.
00:21:27Lord Zeus, if my child still walks this earth, please protect him and keep him safe.
00:21:35If punishment must fall, let it fall on me, this worthless mother.
00:21:42A god-forsaken, outcast without a divine spark.
00:21:46Lycaon.
00:21:47He died in the abyss long ago.
00:21:50Why do you still grieve for him after all these years?
00:21:53Sparta prides itself on the gods' favor!
00:21:55If other city-sheds learn I fathered a useless son, lacking divine grace.
00:22:01How could I ever hold my head high as a ruler of Greece?
00:22:04My lord, your majesty, Princess Ellara has returned.
00:22:09Ellara!
00:22:15Thank you for saving my daughter, young man.
00:22:18No need.
00:22:18I was just passing by, nothing more.
00:22:22A lowly Temple Majumus, leaving his temple and coming to Sparta.
00:22:26What precisely brings you here?
00:22:29I'm searching for my birth parents.
00:22:32I don't know who they are.
00:22:35I only have this.
00:22:37I hope to find answers through this ring.
00:22:52My child, this ring holds fragments of Lock of Prometheus.
00:22:56It hides your aura.
00:22:59Grow up safe and sound, my little one.
00:23:03You've done well, Hecara.
00:23:06Let me feel the blessed radiance Olympus has bestowed upon our firstborn son.
00:23:18Not only has Zeus refused to bless him.
00:23:21He doesn't even have a divine spark!
00:23:24I can't.
00:23:25Sparta will never tolerate such a god-forsaken abomination.
00:23:28If word spreads, our city will be mocked and destroyed.
00:23:30Cast him into the abyss.
00:23:31Tell everyone the child died at birth.
00:23:33No!
00:23:33My baby!
00:23:34My God, you've got me!
00:23:38This is the ring I used to seal as this era.
00:23:42My child.
00:23:43The son I thought lost to the ab abyss.
00:23:46And why?
00:24:08The queen's reaction was far too strange the moment I showed the ring.
00:24:11Why do I feel such a pull towards her?
00:24:14Could it be she knows who I am?
00:24:18This ring holds fragments of Lock of Prometheus.
00:24:22I sealed them inside with my own hands.
00:24:25I could never be mistaken.
00:24:27He is the son we cast into the abyss.
00:24:29Why won't you let me acknowledge him?
00:24:32That Majakos?
00:24:34He's my brother?
00:24:35Silence!
00:24:36He was abandoned the moment he was born without a divine spark.
00:24:40Sparta prides self on being favored by the gods.
00:24:42If the deities and other city stage learn my son is not just a Megarius,
00:24:46but also lacks a divine spark,
00:24:49how could I uphold Sparta's rule and our family's reputation?
00:24:57Mark my words.
00:24:59No matter what happens, you will never acknowledge him.
00:25:02If you do, I'll charge you both for saccharinj and cast you out of Sparta forever!
00:25:19This sacred monument was carved from divine stone sent by none other than Zeus himself.
00:25:24In all of Greece there has only been one warrior to have left his mark on its blessed surface.
00:25:28That was Athena's chosen!
00:25:30Timaeus!
00:25:32We should be praying to the gods for more power,
00:25:35instead of acting like certain lowly commoners.
00:25:42You lowly Megarus.
00:25:44What could you possibly know of battle?
00:25:46I only know how to flay carcasses, not fight.
00:25:51I thought as much.
00:25:53A mortal without so much as a trace of a divine spark.
00:25:57And Sororos Nash thinks himself grand just from skinning a few beasts.
00:26:03Let me warn you, you got lucky that night.
00:26:06Don't think you'll be able to leech off of the king and queen just because you saved the princess.
00:26:11You're nothing but a stinking worthless nobody, worlds apart from warriors blessed with divine power.
00:26:16Know your place, and crawl back to your temple.
00:26:20Move!
00:26:26Master Chidon was right.
00:26:29Those lofty champions of divine rule are nothing but fools cloaked in hypocrisy and arrogance.
00:26:37Zeus' blessing?
00:26:39Is it truly as unbreakable as they claim?
00:27:10Ares worshipers from the city-state of Arg watch us.
00:27:13Greedly caviting our title as Greece's mightiest warrior state.
00:27:17They will likely come to challenge us before long.
00:27:27My-my lord!
00:27:29The-the sacred monument!
00:27:33How could the monument end up like this?
00:27:38The god is perfectly even.
00:27:40It was split clean with a single blade strike.
00:27:44Even the great Tymius could only leave a half centimeter mark on this monument.
00:27:48Whoever split it in two wields power far surpassing the peak of divine blessings.
00:27:52My lord! If we could gain the aid of such a mighty figure, we would have nothing to fear from
00:27:56those who worship Ares.
00:27:58Sparta could rise to glory once more and hold fast to our title as Greece's greatest power.
00:28:02Aye, but who in the world could this be?
00:28:05Only Agus came near the monument today.
00:28:08Could it have been him?
00:28:23Agus, I had this armor made for you. Try it on and see if it fits.
00:28:27Oh. Thank you, your majesty.
00:28:31Put it on quickly.
00:28:35My dear son has grown into a noble, towering warrior.
00:28:48What's happening?
00:28:50The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:02Me.
00:29:31The Reapers of Ares
00:29:31I guess why are you still here? You cannot wield divine power. Leave! At once, before you're dragged into this!
00:29:38A worthless Majakius of sacrificial beasts dares intrude on a battle of the god-blessed?
00:29:55Surrender your title as Greece's mightiest warrior state, or none of you will leave this square alive!
00:30:02Creon, you're but a youth! How dare you lead an invasion into Sparta's royal city? Did your father teach you
00:30:12nothing of divine authority?
00:30:16Divine authority...
00:30:50Zou's blessings are nothing but a hollow pretense! Lord Aerys' power is the true sovereignty!
00:30:55Heave!
00:31:18Father!
00:31:29Monster! Get away from my father!
00:31:43Now it's my turn.
00:31:54Today, every last spartan here dies.
00:32:02Ilaran! No!
00:32:07Run! I'll hold him off!
00:32:10Agus! My son! Run!
00:32:15The Queen? Is my mother?
00:32:19My greatest sin in life was abandoning you at birth.
00:32:23Simply because you didn't have a divine spark forced to yield to divine rule.
00:32:27But to see you grow into such a brave warrior before I die, I have no regrets.
00:32:32My own mother would sacrifice herself just to let me escape.
00:32:38Agus! My brother! Sparta's ruin is not your burden!
00:32:42Without the God's blessing, you cannot stand against him.
00:32:47Leave now while you can! Go back to Mount Pellae!
00:32:49No wonder I felt such warmth in my blood-stained heart whenever I was born.
00:32:52They're my own flesh and blood. My mother and my sister.
00:33:01Today I'll send the entire royal house of spartan to the underworld.
00:33:05Die!
00:33:09Die!
00:33:28Let's get divorced. I'd rather leave without taking any property.
00:33:31Settle your gambling debts on your own.
00:33:33Don't drag me into this mess.
00:33:34I kept explaining that it was Timmy Lynch who had lost money betting on underdog matches, but she refused to
00:33:39listen.
00:33:39It's Timmy Lynch who owes the money, not me.
00:33:43You want to trick my daughter into pay your debts?
00:33:46And you even dare to slander my son?
00:33:48Celia Lynch! Divorce him at once!
00:33:51She then laid all her cards on the table.
00:33:53To tell you the truth, Celia Lynch is pregnant.
00:33:56The child's father is one of your...
00:33:58...your place and sign the divorce agreement right now.
00:34:01I was utterly stunned.
00:34:02Just last night, I won a 100 million USA prizes from football bets.
00:34:05I had even planned to help Timmy Lynch pay off his debt, yet things had suddenly come to a head
00:34:09over a divorce.
00:34:10Very well. Let them handle this dug debt on their own.
00:34:13Meet me at the courthouse at 9 tomorrow morning.
00:34:15Anyone who doesn't show up is a coward.
00:34:20Now that the creditors had come knocking, the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:34:24Celia Lynch froze for a moment, clearly not expecting me to agree so readily.
00:34:29In her eyes, I was just a pathetic man scraping by on a small lottery shop.
00:34:33She had assumed I would drop to my knees and beg the second she brought up divorce.
00:34:37Her face twisted with scorn.
00:34:40Don't put on a brave front.
00:34:43Do you really think a divorce will get you out of this mess?
00:34:50She pulled out a pen and paper from under the coffee table, speaking in a stern tone.
00:34:56Sign this debt liability document.
00:34:59State clearly in black and white that the 100 million US dollars in gambling debts are solely the responsibility of
00:35:06Zach Lorenz,
00:35:06and Celia bears no liability whatsoever.
00:35:10I glanced at the paper and thought it was completely ridiculous.
00:35:13He recklessly bet 50 million US dollars, backing the underdog Sherdrum team to beat the Acontia team.
00:35:18Unsurprisingly, he lost every penny and ended up drowning in massive debt.
00:35:22Now that the creditors had come knocking, the two women shamelessly tried to force me to take on the debt.
00:35:27I crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it into the trash can, and retorting coldly,
00:35:31Your brother is the debtor. Go collect the money from him.
00:35:35I agree to a divorce, but I will never take the blame for his mistakes.
00:35:40Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:35:53Timmy is steady and sensible. He would never gamble.
00:35:57You're the one who keeps company with gamblers and ran up a debt of over a hundred million.
00:36:01Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:36:06I stared coldly at her hysterical look.
00:36:12We had been married for three years.
00:36:14I toiled from dawn till dusk in my shop less than 200 square meters,
00:36:18and handed over every penny I earned to her.
00:36:22Yet she spent my hard-earned money buying luxury items for Edwin.
00:36:27Worse still, she was pregnant with his child.
00:36:31I slowly plied her fingers off.
00:36:38My tone was so calm that even I felt astonished.
00:36:43You can go ask Timmy whether he is really as well-beating as you believe.
00:36:47I agree to the divorce. I'll let you be with Edwin.
00:36:58You lowly nobody.
00:36:59Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:01I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:06Errol stormed into the bedroom and began smashing things frantically.
00:37:11You won't sign, will you?
00:37:13Then I'll go cause trouble at your shabby shop and put an end to your business!
00:37:19She grabbed her Hermes handbag and walked straight out the door.
00:37:24Celia followed closely behind, sneering with contempt in her eyes.
00:37:30You lowly nobody.
00:37:31Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:34I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:38The two slammed the door and left in anger.
00:37:41I took a deep breath as I looked around the messy living room.
00:37:49Just then, my phone vibrated.
00:37:52A message from the lottery center reminded me to keep the winning ticket worth 120 million US dollars safe
00:37:57and to the city center to claim the prize as soon as pucetly.
00:38:00I touched the lottery ticket hidden close to my body.
00:38:09Since you've dug your own graves, don't blame me for letting things run their course.
00:38:17The owner of this shop gambles illegally and owes hundreds of millions in loan shark debts!
00:38:26Zack had just arrived around the corner by taxi when loud shouting and abuse assaulted his ears.
00:38:32Mariel Unley stood at the shop entrance with a megaphone, shouting for all to hear.
00:38:36Come one, come all!
00:38:38The owner of this shop gambles illegally and owes hundreds of millions in loan shark debts!
00:38:43He'll even drag his wife and child down with him!
00:38:48Regular customers who were checking the lottery results inside were utterly shocked.
00:38:52They gathered at the door, whispering and pointing.
00:38:54I never thought he'd be someone like this.
00:39:01Eyes glistening with feigned tears, Celia Lynch held up her phone to start a live stream,
00:39:06putting on a wronged expression for the camera.
00:39:13Hello, everyone!
00:39:14This is my cold-hearted ex-husband!
00:39:18I chose to leave with nothing just to end our marriage!
00:39:24Please, never marry a gambler!
00:39:32I pushed through the crowd and strode into the shop.
00:39:38I won't let you get away with this unless you pay the money today!
00:39:44Stop causing trouble in my shop.
00:39:48Instead of backing down, Mariel grew even more reckless when she saw me.
00:40:00I won't let you get away with this unless you pay the money today!
00:40:08As it happens, I have matters to settle with you two as well.
00:40:15I pulled the receipt for the TV out of my wallet.
00:40:25This television costs 800 US dollars.
00:40:29I will call the police and demand full compensation from you.
00:40:37Hundreds of millions in debt!
00:40:39He'll probably end up rotting in prison for the rest of his life!
00:40:49Go ahead and call the police!
00:40:51You owe hundreds of millions to loanharks!
00:40:54And they'll arrest you, the fraudners, the second they show up!
00:40:57She planted her hands on her hisps, turned to the onlookers, and raised her voice.
00:41:05Everyone!
00:41:06Be the judge!
00:41:09This man lost hundreds of millions on sports betting, yet now he tries to extort 800 dollars from me for
00:41:16damages!
00:41:17A cold-blooded scoundrel like him deserves his come-up-in!
00:41:21Murmurs broke out among the crowd.
00:41:23Several elderly regulars who often bought lottery tickets here stared at me doubtfully.
00:41:27He always seemed honest enough.
00:41:31I never thought he'd be such a reckless gambler.
00:41:34Hundreds of millions in debt!
00:41:36He'll probably end up rotting in prison for the rest of his life!
00:41:50Celia held up her phone, aiming the camera straight at me.
00:41:59The child you carry is Edwins.
00:42:01If you can't stand the hardship, go to him.
00:42:04Why put on a show in my shop?
00:42:06Comments flooded the livestream rapidly, with Netsits jerling insults and trashing me relentlessly.
00:42:13Celia spoke in a tearful voice.
00:42:17Zach, if you sign the debt agreement and admit this is your personal liability,
00:42:21I'll leave it once and never bother you again!
00:42:24As she spoke, the stream was soon filled with sympathetic comments and GIFs.
00:42:29Watching her clumsy, hypocritical act, I snired coldly.
00:42:33The child you carry is Edwins.
00:42:35If you can't stand the hardship, go to him.
00:42:38Why put on a show in my shop?
00:42:42My voice was quiet yet clear enough for everyone present and all viewers online to hear.
00:42:49The noisy crowd fell dead silent for a moment, then broke into louder murmurs.
00:42:55Celia froze on the spot, panic flashing across her eyes.
00:42:58The noisy crowd fell on the spot, panic flashing across her eyes.
00:43:07Zach!
00:43:08What's going on?
00:43:10Why is everything in such a mess here?
00:43:21Celia quickly composed herself, tears streaming down her cheek.
00:43:28You lack ability yourself, yet you forcibly accuse me out of nowhere!
00:43:40Enraged by her words, Meryl charged forward and grabbed at my clothes.
00:43:46You heartless brute!
00:43:50You got your own issues, and still you dare to deface my daughter!
00:43:59Just then, an anxious voice rang out from beyond the crowd.
00:44:15I spun around and saw my mother Darla pushing her way through the crowd with difficulty.
00:44:20A thermal container in her hand.
00:44:30She had gone to the hospital for a blood pressure check today, and dropped by the shop on her way
00:44:35back with some homemade soup.
00:44:40Stepping inside and seeing the total mess, with the broken television lying on the floor, mother's hands shook uncontrollably.
00:44:55Dear in-law, you can resolve disputes through discussion.
00:44:59How could you bandish other-race property like this?
00:45:02She hurried forward to pull Meryl aside.
00:45:06Burning with rage and eager to vent her anger, Meryl roughly shook off her hand and smeared.
00:45:19In-law, just look at what your son has done!
00:45:23He's run up massive gambling debts, and now tries to drag my daughter into paying them off!
00:45:34Mother turned deathly pale at once.
00:45:36What?
00:45:38Hundreds of millions in debt?
00:45:41Zack, what on earth is going on?
00:45:45Let me tell you the truth, old woman.
00:45:48This child isn't your son's at all.
00:45:52I supported my mother and explained in a low voice.
00:45:57Mom, don't listen to her nonsense.
00:45:59The debt was incurred by Timmy.
00:46:01It's nothing to lease with me.
00:46:06Everyone take a good look.
00:46:08This is the gambler's mother.
00:46:14Jack would never gamble.
00:46:16You're pregnant, so don't get upset.
00:46:18Let's talk this over calmly.
00:46:21Soft-hearted as ever, she still cared about the unborn child.
00:46:27A malicious smirk tugged at Celia's lips.
00:46:30She leaned close to my mother's ear and spoke slowly.
00:46:33Let me tell you the truth, old woman.
00:46:37This child isn't your son's at all.
00:46:40It belongs to his friend, Edwin.
00:46:44Your family line ends here.
00:46:46My mother's eyes widened.
00:46:48Mom!
00:46:53Mom!
00:46:55Call an ambulance right away!
00:47:05You all witnessed this.
00:47:07Their whole family is staging a...
00:47:23Honey, I'll defend you.
00:47:26We used to be friends, after all.
00:47:28Take this money for your mother's medical capement.
00:47:30The rest is for milk-petter for Celia's unborn child.
00:47:36Step aside!
00:47:37Everyone move back!
00:47:45The bank coats hit me hard in the face
00:47:47and scattered into the spilled soup on the floor,
00:47:50soon covered in greasy stains.
00:47:51I stared firmly at Edwin Grant's insolent face.
00:47:57Cutting through the bustle of the street,
00:48:05Step aside!
00:48:06Everyone move back!
00:48:15Treat my mother immediately.
00:48:19As the door slid shut,
00:48:21I caught sight through the window of Edwin Grant Grant,
00:48:23throwing a victory sign towards the livestream camera,
00:48:26while Celia Lynch leaned against his chest
00:48:28with a triumphant smile on her face.
00:48:31$20,000?
00:48:41The patient has suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage
00:48:44and needs an immediate craniotomy.
00:48:45A deposit of $20,000 must be paid first.
00:49:04$20,000.
00:49:17All my savings were kept by Celia Lynch.
00:49:20She had even secretly changed the password of the bank card for monthly business revenue.
00:49:24Right then, apart from the winning lottery ticket worth $120 million hidden close to
00:49:29my body, I did not even have $200 on me.
00:49:31The prize claim process would take time.
00:49:33Even if everything went as fast as possible, the money would not arrive until the next
00:49:37day.
00:49:40Uncle Will, my mother has suddenly suffered a ribohepidage.
00:49:44I need $20,000 for her surgery.
00:49:46Right away.
00:49:47You could lend me the money to throw me over?
00:49:50I really can't lend you any money.
00:49:56Zach Lawrence, it's not that I don't want to help.
00:50:04Celia Lynch just said in her live stream that you owe hundreds of millions in gambling debts.
00:50:09Our small sum of money won't make any difference.
00:50:12You'd better figure this out on your own.
00:50:19I've heard what happened.
00:50:21Let's cut off all contact.
00:50:25I really can't lend you any money.
00:50:33Celia Lynch's live stream had not only ruined my reputation, but also completely severed all
00:50:40my connections and ways out.
00:50:44Desperate and cornered, I was about to swallow my pride and turn to loan sharks.
00:50:51When the click of high heels echoed from the end of the corridor.
00:51:02Hey!
00:51:03What are you doing?
00:51:11I already gave you a fresh one.
00:51:13How could you eat a hot dog off the ground?
00:51:16I just...
00:51:16Don't stop me!
00:51:18Lucas.
00:51:23That's my mother.
00:51:24She suffered head trauma and lost all her memories after getting hurt.
00:51:29She hasn't eaten in days.
00:51:30She's really hungry.
00:51:36Dan, pull over.
00:51:37Boss, what's wrong?
00:51:38You might need help.
00:51:39Let's go take a look.
00:51:43Why didn't you just say so, kid?
00:51:45I'll go make another one for you.
00:51:46Sir, I already got one for free.
00:51:48I just can't take more.
00:51:51What a sweet kid.
00:51:53Just breaks my heart.
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:58No idea who his dad is.
00:51:59What kind of heartless bastard just walks out on a kid and his mom like that?
00:52:04Here.
00:52:04Take this.
00:52:05Make sure you eat, okay?
00:52:06You're still just a kid.
00:52:08Here.
00:52:09Take it.
00:52:09Don't feel bad, okay?
00:52:11Just stay strong and pay it forward when you can.
00:52:21I promise I'll repay you.
00:52:26Go on.
00:52:27Go find your mom.
00:52:45Let's go, mom.
00:52:49Come on, Arthur.
00:52:50Come on, Arthur.
00:52:53Wait.
00:52:58Can I help you, sir?
00:53:11The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
00:53:14You guys are lucky today.
00:53:24Why does she look so familiar?
00:53:33I know you.
00:53:35Alexander.
00:53:36You're Alexander.
00:53:40Who doesn't know Alexander Clark?
00:53:42You're just pretending to be crazy to get money, aren't you?
00:53:45Mom!
00:53:47Cinda, what are you doing here?
00:53:49Saw your car while I was shopping.
00:53:52So I thought, why not say hi?
00:53:58Ew.
00:53:59Woman like her.
00:54:01Filthy.
00:54:02Trashy no-buns.
00:54:03They don't deserve your kindness.
00:54:05You're too soft, Alexander.
00:54:20Thanks.
00:54:31Want to see what's underneath?
00:54:41Brian, will you marry me?
00:54:45Yes.
00:54:47You're the only one I'll ever love.
00:54:49I'll give you everything.
00:54:50I promise.
00:54:54I love you, Alexander.
00:54:56All I need is you.
00:54:59You're the only one I'll ever love.
00:55:00I'll give you everything.
00:55:08Alexander.
00:55:10Alexander.
00:55:11Mom.
00:55:12Mom, what's wrong?
00:55:14What's happening to her?
00:55:16Ugh, she's obviously crazy.
00:55:17Let's get out of here fast.
00:55:21Alexander.
00:55:23But she's saying my name.
00:55:25How would she ever know me?
00:55:26Everyone in Tech City knows who you are.
00:55:28They're just faking hardship to manipulate your sympathy.
00:55:32When I look at her, I always feel like I've met her before.
00:55:39Alexander!
00:55:40It's me!
00:55:44You crazy woman!
00:55:46I know you've got an ulterior motive.
00:55:48How dare you even lay a finger on Alexander!
00:55:51You need to apologize to my mom!
00:55:56People like you are nothing but scammers.
00:55:58Pretending to know Alexander just to steal his money.
00:56:01Disgusting fact.
00:56:06I must be out of my mind.
00:56:08How could I think that woman was Brianna?
00:56:10Brianna was always so gentle.
00:56:12And she's been dead for years.
00:56:13I know you.
00:56:14I know you!
00:56:15Miss, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
00:56:17I don't know you.
00:56:19I only stopped because I felt sorry for you and your son.
00:56:21No.
00:56:22You do know me.
00:56:22I'm, I'm...
00:56:26Mom!
00:56:27Mom, are you okay?
00:56:31But I know you.
00:56:32I know you.
00:56:33Alexander, let's go.
00:56:35This is just a pity act to swan your sympathy and your money.
00:56:38Sir, Miss Cinda's right.
00:56:39People like them will do anything for cash.
00:56:42My mom doesn't lie!
00:56:44You pushed her!
00:56:45She got hurt because of you!
00:56:47Still playing games?
00:56:49You touched this?
00:56:52Are you out of your mind?
00:56:53This is a 2026 runway piece.
00:56:55Selling you and your crazy-ass mom wouldn't even pay for a sleeve.
00:56:58We're not lying.
00:56:59Say sorry to my mom right now.
00:57:02Stop.
00:57:05Kid, you belong in school.
00:57:07Not out here hustling strangers with your mom.
00:57:09We're not liars.
00:57:10You don't get to talk about my mom like that.
00:57:13No one's buying it.
00:57:14Tell your mom to quit the act.
00:57:16She's not even good at pretending.
00:57:19It's not your fault.
00:57:21After all, you have such an irresponsible mother.
00:57:23Don't you dare talk about my mom like that!
00:57:25She's the best mom in the whole world!
00:57:29People like you don't deserve to live.
00:57:31Where's your dad?
00:57:33I don't have a dad.
00:57:35I don't have a dad.
00:57:37No wonder.
00:57:40Being a mother comes with responsibility.
00:57:42Stop this madness dragging your son into it.
00:57:45You're ruining that child.
00:57:46Take this.
00:57:47Use it to send him to school.
00:57:55Money!
00:57:56So much money.
00:57:58Mom!
00:57:59We can't take this!
00:58:01I need it!
00:58:03Money!
00:58:04See, Alexander?
00:58:05I told you.
00:58:06Crocodile tears and open hands.
00:58:07Classic scammer move.
00:58:08Boss, she's clearly faking it.
00:58:10Why waste your time?
00:58:11I pitied the kid.
00:58:12Not her.
00:58:13Let's go.
00:58:14Little bastard.
00:58:15Lucky today.
00:58:18With this money, I can save Alexander.
00:58:20I can pay for his surgery.
00:58:24Alexander, I have money now.
00:58:31Mom, please help!
00:58:33Somebody help my mom!
00:58:36Boss, they're acting again.
00:58:37Don't fall for it.
00:58:38Alexander, let's just forget about them.
00:58:40I booked that French place you loved after dinner.
00:58:43Conflict.
00:58:44Don't touch me.
00:58:45I've told you, I don't want you.
00:58:46The only woman I've ever loved is Brianna.
00:58:48Alexander, Brianna's dead.
00:58:50Mom!
00:58:50Next time I see you, it better be business.
00:58:52Nothing else.
00:58:56Filthy beggars!
00:58:58They ruined everything!
00:59:00Mom, please, wake up!
00:59:10Please, save my mom.
00:59:37I've seen her before.
00:59:41I'm sorry.
00:59:43I'm sorry.
00:59:44I'm sorry.
00:59:44I'm sorry.
00:59:47Don't touch me! Get out of the way!
00:59:49Don't touch me! Don't touch me!
00:59:57Mom, it's okay. You're safe now. We're at the hospital.
01:00:15She seems mentally unstable. Could be long-term.
01:00:21Yeah. She's been like this forever. Totally out of it.
01:00:26You got her name? Any family?
01:00:28No clue. Just that poor kid.
01:00:31Her mind was already fragile. Something pushed her over the edge. Probably a huge shock.
01:00:36I know you! Alexander! You're Alexander!
01:00:40It was him. He made Mom snap?
01:00:42So what now? How do we help her?
01:00:45She needs brain surgery. And important meds.
01:00:48Without it, she wouldn't last more than a few days.
01:00:52Then start the treatment, please!
01:00:59Please, save my Mom. She's all I have left.
01:01:04Look, kid. It's not that I don't care.
01:01:07The only hope is this new drug from Clark Corp.
01:01:10I sold scrap.
01:01:12This is all I got. Can it buy medicine?
01:01:16I'll pay for it. Just, please, get her the meds. Do something!
01:01:22That drug's still in development. Clark Corp hasn't released it yet.
01:01:25Please! I can't lose her!
01:01:28Alexander Clark runs that company. Big on charity, they say.
01:01:31If you can get access to ask him directly, maybe he'll help. It could be your only shot.
01:01:36Alexander Clark?
01:01:38The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark. You guys are lucky today.
01:01:42So it's him.
01:01:48Don't worry, Mom. I'll find a way to save you.
01:01:58Please! I need to see Mr. Clark!
01:02:00You think just anyone can meet Mr. Clark? Get lost!
01:02:04Hey!
01:02:07I said get out of here, kid!
01:02:24Jesus! Are you trying to get yourself killed?
01:02:26Please! Do you know Mr. Clark? Can you take me?
01:02:29What the hell? Who are you?
01:02:30You think you can just walk up to the richest guy in town? Go away!
01:02:35I'm sorry, sir.
01:02:46Mom, I'm sorry. I still couldn't find him. Please, hang on!
01:02:55Mr. Clark's gone for the day. If you're that desperate, try his house. Don't tell anyone.
01:03:04Thank you, sir!
01:03:11Brianna, I miss you so much.
01:03:17Alexander, Cinda waited all day. You didn't even show your face.
01:03:22I've told you, I won't marry. My heart died with Brianna.
01:03:26Brianna's been gone for years. You really gonna die alone for a ghost?
01:03:29Yes. In this life, she's the only one I'll ever marry.
01:03:33Alexander, enough! This ends now!
01:03:38It's okay, Mr. Clark. If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave.
01:03:41No, Cinda. You're staying. I don't care how stubborn he is. I'll make him marry you.
01:03:58Then I'm done with this house. With all of it.
01:04:04Fine! Walk out and don't come back!
01:04:08Please, don't be upset, Mr. Clark. He just needs time.
01:04:12One day, he'll realize Brianna's not coming back.
01:04:17Their wedding ring. Get rid of it. It's the only way he'll move on.
01:04:22Go on. Throw it as far away as you can.
01:04:28Yes, sir.
01:04:42Sir, there's a kid outside, asking for Mr. Alexander.
01:04:51Kid? In this rain? Bring him in, now.
01:05:06Grab a towel. Quickly, he'll catch cold.
01:05:12Who are you? Why are you looking for Alexander?
01:05:16I need medicine. For my mom. She'll die without it.
01:05:23Your mom? What's her name?
01:05:29Her name is...
01:05:30Hey!
01:05:35Sir, here's the towel.
01:05:42He looks just like Alexander did.
01:05:47Thanks, but my mom's running out of time.
01:05:52Kid, wait!
01:05:54Nate, did you see that kid? He looks exactly like Alexander did when he was seven.
01:05:59No doubt.
01:06:01If you want to be sure, sir, we can test the hair on that towel.
01:06:06Do it.
01:06:06If he really is Alexander's son, we have to bring him back at once.
01:06:10I'm leaving all my fortune to him.
01:06:18I miss you so much.
01:06:28The ring. Where is it?
01:06:32Sir, our wedding ring, it's gone!
01:06:35Everyone here knows how much it means to you. No one would touch it.
01:06:37It's all I have left of Brianna. It can't just vanish. Put out a reward. Anyone who finds it gets
01:06:43whatever they want. Right away, sir.
01:06:50It's all I have left of Brianna.
01:06:50Massive reward for return of Alexander Clark's wedding ring.
01:06:58That ring. That's the one mom always wears. She's always so protective of it. But now, she needs that medicine
01:07:05more. Maybe I can trade mom's ring to get the medicine from him.
01:07:11Mom, I have to do this for your illness. I hope you can forgive me.
01:07:21Sir! The ring! It's been found!
01:07:26Where is it? A kid found it. He's waiting at the Clark's hospital. Let's go! Now!
01:07:45Mr. Alexander!
01:07:50You again?
01:07:53Is this the ring you're looking for?
01:07:59Sir! That's your missing ring! This little thief stole it!
01:08:03I didn't steal it! I found it!
01:08:05Cut the crap! The boss's ring was kept safely in the drawer.
01:08:08There's no way you just happened to find it. I could tell from the start you two were trouble.
01:08:13It turns out you're not just con artists putting on an act for money. You're thieves too.
01:08:17It was my mom's! I need Clark meds for her! That's why I-
01:08:19That ring was Mr. Alexander's wedding ring for his late fiance! What's your mom got to do with it?
01:08:25We let you off once! Now this? You know how much this means to him!
01:08:34Hand it over! Now!
01:08:37I didn't steal it! You can have it, but please give me the medicine first!
01:08:42I don't deal with thieves! You're not worth it! Give it to me!
01:08:55Give it back!
