00:00:02Alex! Alex! Man down! We have a man down! We need backup now!
00:00:09Colt. Yeah?
00:00:10You guys are surrounded, man. Just get out of here. Looks like you won the bet.
00:00:15Alright, we're getting out of there together.
00:00:19Take this.
00:00:21You are the best of the best. Promise me, get back home.
00:00:28To protect my sister, Victoria.
00:00:31The Kingsley family is a snake pit you have to protect her.
00:00:35There's an honor serving with you.
00:00:43Alex!
00:00:50Alex saved my life that day, and I never looked back since.
00:00:53I left the bloodshed behind and built the Shadow Alliance.
00:00:57The country's largest veterans network.
00:01:00The Shadow Alliance quickly rose to power, feared and respected across the world.
00:01:05But I chose much simpler post.
00:01:08Content to live in the shadows as the Kingsley security guard.
00:01:11Keeping one promise to a fallen friend.
00:01:14To protect Victoria.
00:01:36Good morning, boss.
00:01:39Good morning, boss.
00:01:53After Victoria gets married today, my job is done.
00:01:57No more hiding my identity.
00:02:02Yo Cole, looking sharp as ever.
00:02:04You think we'll get a slice of that wedding cake?
00:02:07Hire Mrs. Kingsley's marrying some rich bastard with trust fund money.
00:02:10At least they can do what's giving us some good food and booze.
00:02:14Less talk.
00:02:15More work.
00:02:16What work?
00:02:17It's not our fault they sent us to do some patrol to some empty church.
00:02:21Look around, man.
00:02:22Not a soul in sight.
00:02:25Even the stray cats around here have better things to do.
00:02:30I take that back.
00:02:32Our bride's rolling up.
00:02:33Showtime, baby.
00:02:58Skip the speeches.
00:02:59No pictures.
00:03:00No champagne tower.
00:03:01I want this wrapped up in 30 minutes.
00:03:04Um, boss.
00:03:07Nobody's here.
00:03:08Not even the groom.
00:03:11Where is everyone?
00:03:13I just got word.
00:03:14The groom's backed out.
00:03:16He said...
00:03:17Said what?
00:03:19He said that if you're the one that Tristan Vann wants,
00:03:22no man in the city will dare to marry you.
00:03:26Tell Tristan to leave me the hell alone.
00:03:29That idiot doesn't get to decide how I live my life.
00:03:32But boss, the deadline for your marriage is coming up.
00:03:34If you don't get married soon, then they'll...
00:03:36Take back my parents' company.
00:03:38Right?
00:03:39My parents might be dead.
00:03:41And my brother might have gone missing.
00:03:43But no one's touching our family business.
00:03:56Congratulations on the wedding, Miss Kingsley.
00:04:02Who are you?
00:04:03Cole Slade.
00:04:04You married?
00:04:05No.
00:04:06Girlfriend?
00:04:07Also no.
00:04:09Good.
00:04:10Then you can marry me.
00:04:18Sorry, no can do.
00:04:19Here we go.
00:04:23It's purely transactional.
00:04:25I'll pay you a salary for every month that you're my husband.
00:04:2820k.
00:04:29How does that sound?
00:04:31After a year, we can get divorced.
00:04:34Still no.
00:04:36Do you know who I am?
00:04:38I'm Victoria Kingsley.
00:04:40CEO of Kingsley Tech.
00:04:45Fine.
00:04:46Name your price.
00:04:47I know who you are, Miss Kingsley.
00:04:49That's exactly why I can't marry you.
00:04:51You're the sister of my best friend.
00:04:53Someone I swore to protect.
00:04:55Not everything is about money.
00:04:57Seriously?
00:04:57You're a goddamn security guard.
00:04:59You have no right to turn down my boss.
00:05:02No, no.
00:05:03It's fine.
00:05:05I'll handle this.
00:05:06You try to put out the fires with my family.
00:05:29I'm sorry.
00:05:30I'm sorry.
00:05:30I can't wait and see.
00:05:31It's fine.
00:05:34Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:05:34I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:05:35You get it.
00:05:38Yeah.
00:05:39But with the roots, it's over.
00:05:41That's what the roots, it's over.
00:05:42You're the roots, it's over and over.
00:05:53Alex, I can't do this anymore.
00:05:58Where are you?
00:06:00Oh, Vicky!
00:06:02I heard you were in the market for a groom.
00:06:07Alex, looks like your sister's in trouble.
00:06:12Who the hell let you in here?
00:06:14Victoria Kingsley.
00:06:17You know how much I love you.
00:06:20Marry me.
00:06:21And you know I'd rather die than marry you.
00:06:25Oh, baby, but then, you're Louis Kingsley Corp.
00:06:30Newsflash, every man in the city knows you're mine.
00:06:34No one's gonna marry you, sweet cheeks.
00:06:38It's either me or nothing.
00:06:41Your ass is mine.
00:06:44Not in a million years, you scumbag.
00:06:47Do you think I don't know?
00:06:49You're just after the quantum chip tech my parents left behind.
00:06:53And marrying me happens to be the fastest, cleanest way to get your hands on it.
00:06:56Fine.
00:06:59He caught me.
00:07:01Well then, let's make this marriage official.
00:07:05Get off me!
00:07:08Go ahead.
00:07:10Scream your little heart out.
00:07:19Yo, where the hell are you going?
00:07:21I'm going in.
00:07:23No man is brave enough to play savior from this kingdom.
00:07:44I am.
00:07:46Who the fuck are you?
00:07:48Leave him alone.
00:07:49He has nothing to do with this.
00:07:51This guy must have a death wish.
00:07:54You think you can come in here and play hero?
00:07:58Do you know who the fuck I am?
00:08:01I don't give a shit who you are.
00:08:03Victoria is my fiance.
00:08:09You marry Victoria Kingsley.
00:08:12Don't make me laugh.
00:08:14That's right.
00:08:15We're getting married and there's nothing you can do to change that, Tristan.
00:08:18Sorry, buddy.
00:08:20When you're going out on a body bag, Victoria is mine.
00:08:25Kill this cocky piece of shit.
00:08:27Let's go.
00:08:53You can't just be a security guard.
00:08:58But I am.
00:09:05Whoa!
00:09:06Easy there, bud.
00:09:08I don't get too trigger happy.
00:09:10Laying your hands on a woman doesn't make you a man.
00:09:13You want to fight?
00:09:14Try someone your own size.
00:09:16You're pretty tough for a guard, dog.
00:09:18I'll give you that.
00:09:19Do you think this shit scares me?
00:09:24Kingsley Banquets tonight.
00:09:26I'm going to make sure everyone hears that you married a security guard.
00:09:32Let's see how long it takes your family to disown you.
00:09:35Is that a threat?
00:09:36No.
00:09:36Just the truth.
00:09:39The Kingsley's are broke, Vicky.
00:09:44You think this runicops is going to fix that?
00:09:48Well, if I can't fix it.
00:09:51Think this will.
00:09:53No, no, no.
00:09:55If you kill me, the Kingsley's are finished.
00:10:00We'll see about that.
00:10:02Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.
00:10:03We'll have a civilized discussion at the banquet.
00:10:06Please.
00:10:07Don't kill me.
00:10:12Get the fuck out.
00:10:19Thanks for saving me just now.
00:10:21You okay?
00:10:24You okay?
00:10:25Cole?
00:10:39Did you mean what you said earlier?
00:10:42Will you marry me?
00:10:45Marry you?
00:10:46You've got the city's biggest crime boss, Tristan Van, breathing down your neck, and you want me to marry you?
00:10:52Is this supposed to be a thank you or a death sentence?
00:10:55You're right.
00:10:56It's too much to ask.
00:11:09But I happen to like a good challenge.
00:11:15So yeah, Victoria, I'll marry you.
00:11:19Really?
00:11:20Let's go make it official.
00:11:22Alex, if marrying your sister is the only way to protect her, then I gotta do what I gotta do.
00:11:27I hope you're not mad at me, brother.
00:11:29Let's go.
00:11:34Oh my god, boss, you did it.
00:11:35You really did it.
00:11:37This means you saved your parents' company.
00:11:39Yes, yes.
00:11:40Keep your voice down, Emily.
00:11:42By the way, husband, tomorrow's our family banquet.
00:11:46You're coming with me.
00:11:47Your call.
00:11:49And?
00:11:53Here's a hundred grand.
00:11:55I need you to get a gift for the banquet.
00:11:59Call it a wedding gift from my husband to the Kingsleys.
00:12:02Got it?
00:12:03But boss, a hundred grand gift isn't going to make them forget you married a security guard.
00:12:09Let's just hope it works.
00:12:10I've got to get back to the office.
00:12:15Alex, you're right.
00:12:18Kingsley family really is a snake pit.
00:12:21Yeah, it's me.
00:12:23Have the Shadow Alliance prepare a gift for the Kingsley family.
00:12:26Oh.
00:12:28Make it big.
00:12:37Mr. Conrad Kingsley, I heard you just closed the East Coast port deal at the insistence of your father, Alistair.
00:12:44It was very impressive.
00:12:45It's just another small win for the family.
00:12:47Nothing to brag about.
00:13:08Mr. Kingsley, to many more years of good health and fortune.
00:13:12How's father Alistair?
00:13:14I've been praying for him.
00:13:17I have been planning on leading the Kingsley legacy for years.
00:13:21He's fine.
00:13:24Just a little something to keep the Kingsley family shining.
00:13:30What is it?
00:13:31Jesus!
00:13:33That's the legendary revolver from Elvis Presley's private collection.
00:13:37Last I heard, it was going for three million.
00:13:40That is a very generous gift.
00:13:41Three million?
00:13:42That's got to be worth at least five.
00:13:44Van family certainly knows how to make an entrance.
00:13:46A little bird told me that you've been courting my niece, Victoria.
00:13:49That's too bad.
00:13:51Because Miss Victoria has given a heart to someone else.
00:13:55Has she?
00:14:16Who is that with Victoria?
00:14:19Her security guard.
00:14:22Wow, the mighty Kingsleys really have fallen since their grandfather, Alistair Kingsley, is sick.
00:14:29I heard they're barely hanging on under Conrad's leadership.
00:14:33Tristan was supposed to bail them out.
00:14:35I guess Victoria's lost it.
00:14:37Victoria, who is this?
00:14:39Uncle, this is Cole Slade.
00:14:42My husband.
00:14:44Husband.
00:14:46You trying to kill your grandfather?
00:14:48You're young.
00:14:50You know, throw tantrums, but marriage is not a game.
00:14:52This isn't a tantrum.
00:14:54And it's not about money, either.
00:14:56I love Cole, and that's why I chose him.
00:15:00Wow.
00:15:02Now that you're married niece?
00:15:04Tristan, maybe our families can join together through my daughter, Serena.
00:15:09You know, this is a family banquet.
00:15:11You didn't come empty-handed, did you?
00:15:14Tristan brought a five-mil revolver for Grandpa.
00:15:17What about you, Vicky?
00:15:19What did you bring?
00:15:20Oh, shoot.
00:15:21I only gave Cole a hundred grand.
00:15:23Tristan dropped five mil?
00:15:25We're screwed.
00:15:27Of course we did.
00:15:35Cole, you actually brought something?
00:15:38Of course we brought a gift.
00:15:40Well, let's see what he's got.
00:15:41Perhaps Mr. Slade is a secret billionaire.
00:15:58What is this?
00:15:59Seriously, that's the gift?
00:16:02It looks like some toy from a dollar store's clearance pen.
00:16:09Victoria, not to lecture you, but this is a family banquet.
00:16:11You can't just phone it in.
00:16:12But a security guard is a security guard.
00:16:17Cole, I thought I gave you a hundred grand.
00:16:19How is this?
00:16:21Now, are you sure you don't want to know what that badge is actually worth?
00:16:26Go on.
00:16:27I'm listening.
00:16:28Let's see what kind of crap this security guard can spend.
00:16:31Let me guess.
00:16:33My dear cousin-in-law is going to tell us that this is some sort of secret society emblem.
00:16:39Let the kid talk.
00:16:41This is a Shadow Alliance badge.
00:16:45Whoever holds it can move capital and access assets at will.
00:16:49Oh, my gosh.
00:16:52The Shadow Alliance holds sway over government and the criminal underworld.
00:16:56They practically run the whole class.
00:16:58With this badge, the Kingsley's can finally get their hands on that Trans-Pacific Trade
00:17:02Route permit they've been dreaming about for years.
00:17:05Wait.
00:17:06Did you just say the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:08You mean the infamous League of Military Veterans?
00:17:15Who are you?
00:17:16And what are you doing with the Shadow Alliance's badge?
00:17:18I'm the founder of the Shadow Alliance.
00:17:21This badge is my ID.
00:17:24It carries my authority.
00:17:26Is Rent-A-Cop the founder of the Shadow Alliance?
00:17:30Don't make me laugh.
00:17:31Vicky, your man got a PhD in bullshit or what?
00:17:35Yo, security guy, do you need us to call you a shrink?
00:17:41Hey, did you just pocket that hundred grand I gave you and now you're spending these lies
00:17:45to cover it up?
00:17:46Of course not, Victoria.
00:17:48Everything I'm telling them is true.
00:17:51Get out.
00:17:53And don't show your face around here again.
00:17:56Especially in front of your grandfather.
00:18:00This badge was a gift for Alistair, given out of respect for Victoria.
00:18:05You know, it's a shame none of you can recognize value when it's right in front of you.
00:18:11But luckily, I brought back up.
00:18:16Victoria said her grandfather was a collector of Renaissance art.
00:18:19So I had my people send this over right away.
00:18:28The original.
00:18:30Mona Lisa.
00:18:32So what do you think?
00:18:34A little more to your liking?
00:18:37This can't be real.
00:18:38That painting is worth ten billion.
00:18:44Mission accomplished.
00:18:48Wait, boss, didn't you just give him a hundred grand?
00:18:51Where did the ten billion come from?
00:18:53I have no idea.
00:18:55This is one of the nicest gifts we've ever received.
00:18:59Might actually get your grandfather out of bed.
00:19:02What's the point?
00:19:03You ran him off.
00:19:05Oh.
00:19:06Mr. Slate is a very generous man.
00:19:10What are you waiting for?
00:19:11Go chase after him.
00:19:13Bring him back here so your grandfather can meet him.
00:19:16Having gold diggers as family...
00:19:20...is humiliating.
00:19:33Ten billion blown.
00:19:35Couldn't even get a decent meal out of it.
00:19:38Bunch of money-hungry jackasses.
00:19:42Couldn't even cover a burger.
00:19:46Really?
00:19:47A guy who could pull out ten billion without blinking is eating this?
00:19:52Well, it beats hanging out with someone who wouldn't even buy me one of these.
00:19:58Get in.
00:20:10So, where are we going?
00:20:13Home.
00:20:14Home.
00:20:16We've been a little quick, aren't we?
00:20:18I'm cooking.
00:20:19Just figured I'd think you properly.
00:20:23Hold on.
00:20:24Okay.
00:20:25Victoria Kingsley.
00:20:26In the kitchen.
00:20:27Wow.
00:20:28Okay, you know what?
00:20:29I'm going to have to record this just so we can have it as part of our family history.
00:20:33Buy my phone.
00:20:35Ugh, shut up.
00:20:37Buckle up.
00:20:41This used to be my parents' place.
00:20:43Security is solid.
00:20:45Make yourself comfortable.
00:20:47I'm going to go change.
00:21:03How's steak sound?
00:21:05Wow, you actually cook.
00:21:07I thought you just signed checks.
00:21:10There's a lot you don't know about me.
00:21:11Hey, that 10 billion.
00:21:14Where did it actually come from?
00:21:19Well, you gave it to me, remember?
00:21:23Me?
00:21:24No, it was...
00:21:32Are you crazy?
00:21:53Security's solid, huh?
00:21:55How did you know this place was bugged?
00:21:59Occupational hazard.
00:22:01Security guard's supposed to keep things secure, right?
00:22:03A security guard who throws around 10 billion like it's pocket change?
00:22:09I'll pay you back soon.
00:22:11Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel.
00:22:16To decide on the next big partnership.
00:22:26That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:22:29The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:22:34You're telling me this little thing's that powerful.
00:22:37You'll see.
00:22:39Fine.
00:22:40I owe you.
00:22:42Twice.
00:22:44Yeah, yeah, the gift.
00:22:46And our marriage, which, by the way...
00:22:49What?
00:22:50Is a contract.
00:22:52So, we need rules.
00:22:56I'm listening.
00:22:58Rule number one, stay out of each other's love lives.
00:23:02Fair.
00:23:04Rule number two, my place isn't safe anymore.
00:23:07My grandpa and uncle will just keep spying on us, so...
00:23:09So, we act like the perfect couple.
00:23:15Luckily for you, I am really good at faking it.
00:23:21Rule three.
00:23:24My bedroom is off-limits.
00:23:27To everyone.
00:23:30But me.
00:23:32Especially.
00:23:34No kissing, no sex.
00:23:36No kissing, no sex.
00:23:38Yeah.
00:23:39Really, it'd be the perfect couple.
00:23:42Not my problem.
00:23:53No eggs tonight.
00:23:56You're allergic.
00:23:58How did you know that?
00:24:01You're spying on me, too?
00:24:04Relax.
00:24:05Just break room gossip.
00:24:06That's all.
00:24:08Victoria Kingsley breaks out in hives when she has eggs.
00:24:11What is that worth, like, a million bucks?
00:24:14My allergies are none of your business.
00:24:18Just sit down and wait.
00:24:19Dinner will be ready soon.
00:24:22Number 10.
00:24:26Number 10.
00:24:28g
00:24:29Hoho.
00:24:36football.
00:24:45Bye.
00:24:46I hope you enjoyed there.
00:24:46Bye.
00:24:47Oh, this is amazing.
00:24:53Surveillance, too.
00:24:56Just like I thought.
00:25:37I told him no kissing, but we did it again.
00:25:41Why can't I resist him?
00:25:51Damn, wifey.
00:25:53That was Oscar-worthy.
00:25:55It was an accident.
00:25:57Honey, the steak's burning.
00:26:08You did that on purpose.
00:26:10Just another day in married life.
00:26:13Now, about that accidental kissing thing.
00:26:16Shut up.
00:26:18Need a hand, wifey?
00:26:20Call me that again, and I'll knock you out with this frying pan.
00:26:23Icedy.
00:26:24Like it.
00:26:46Looks like these two are getting along.
00:26:49Better than we expected.
00:26:52Dad, doesn't this seem off?
00:26:56That coal guy just casually drops ten billion, but he's working as a security guard?
00:27:02All the bugs are dead?
00:27:03Every single one.
00:27:04And whoever did it knows exactly what they were doing.
00:27:09Interesting.
00:27:10Interesting.
00:27:11Seems our little niece and this rent-a-cop are just full of surprises.
00:27:15Mm-hmm.
00:27:16And you ran all the usual checks?
00:27:17I went through all the contacts we have.
00:27:20Still nothing.
00:27:22No bank accounts.
00:27:24No credit history.
00:27:26Not even a parking ticket.
00:27:28There's only three kinds of people in this world who stay this clean.
00:27:33Spies.
00:27:35The dead.
00:27:39And those richer than us.
00:27:41So which one is he?
00:27:44Excuse me, miss.
00:27:45You can't enter.
00:27:45Get out of my way.
00:27:47I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley.
00:27:52So it was you.
00:27:55You planted the bugs.
00:27:58Victoria, I did this to protect my brother's company.
00:28:00Protect it?
00:28:01You mean steal it from his only daughter.
00:28:04Enough!
00:28:09Victoria, who is this coal?
00:28:13Some hotshot?
00:28:14Why can't we dig anything up on him?
00:28:17A hotshot?
00:28:19He's just our company's security guard.
00:28:23You really think we're going to fall for that?
00:28:26You're embarrassing our whole family.
00:28:30Explain the $10 billion.
00:28:32There's only two options here.
00:28:34One, you funneled company funds.
00:28:39And two, the gifts are fakes.
00:28:46All of them.
00:28:51There's no $10 billion in your company accounts.
00:28:53So that only leads to an option.
00:28:56The gifts are all knockoffs.
00:28:59Knockoffs?
00:29:00Don't you even know how bad this makes our family look?
00:29:04Told you, Dad.
00:29:05She's always been a stain on this family.
00:29:09Stop making assumptions.
00:29:11Just because you don't know who Cole is doesn't mean the gifts are fake.
00:29:14Shut up!
00:29:14The Kingsley legacy is not yours to sell off to some rent-a-cop.
00:29:17No, you shut up!
00:29:18Even if the gifts are fake, I would still never marry Tristan.
00:29:21Ever!
00:29:27Serena, from now on, I want you to spend more time with Tristan Van.
00:29:32The Kingsley's need the Van family support now more than ever.
00:29:37Yes, Dad.
00:29:38I'll give him a call.
00:29:45The Van family has a real pull with the Shadow Alliance.
00:29:49We will secure their deal in three days' time with the Van family's support.
00:29:53By our side.
00:29:56Three days from now, the Shadow Alliance is hosting the Golden Coast Summit at the Maple Hotel
00:30:01to decide on the next big partnership.
00:30:06That'll put your family at the top of the list.
00:30:08The smoother it goes for you, the faster I get my money back, right?
00:30:14The Vans have the power to open the door.
00:30:18We just have to follow their lead and take our cut.
00:30:22Tori, when everything ends, I want you to resign.
00:30:25It's time to rethink who runs the family business.
00:30:31Dearest cousin,
00:30:34what do we do with this pile of junk from your rent-a-cop boyfriend?
00:30:38Burn it.
00:30:40All of it.
00:30:42The Kingsley House is no place for a cheap print.
00:30:51No, wait.
00:30:52Just wait.
00:30:53It's not...
00:30:54Wait!
00:31:03It's Pinky.
00:31:04You can't come in.
00:31:05No, no, stop!
00:31:06What are you doing?
00:31:06It's for real Mona Lisa.
00:31:12No!
00:31:13Stop!
00:31:15No!
00:31:16No!
00:31:16No!
00:31:30They were real!
00:31:32Oh, little princess living in your fairy tale.
00:31:38Let this be a warning to you.
00:31:40You'll regret this.
00:31:41No.
00:31:42You will regret this.
00:31:45Once I marry Tristan,
00:31:47you won't even be able to afford your rent-a-cop husband.
00:31:50And...
00:32:03You know, it takes a lot of guts for you to show up at my place like this.
00:32:13Look at yourself killed.
00:32:20Still have my cousin on your mind?
00:32:23You're miles above her.
00:32:30You know why the Van family gets an invite?
00:32:34Because we do anything for the Shadow Alliance.
00:32:39Anything.
00:32:42That's something you and I have in common.
00:32:46If you can get my family into the Shadow Alliance...
00:32:52I may be willing to relieve some of your frustrations.
00:33:01See, you're not in a position to negotiate.
00:33:12You're right.
00:33:14There are many positions we can negotiate in.
00:33:20Which one's your favorite?
00:33:24The one where you're on your knees?
00:33:29Now we're talking.
00:33:53Since I've realized your talents...
00:33:56I believe I can get the Kingsley to the summit.
00:33:59Oh, Mr. Van.
00:34:01I knew you would come to your senses.
00:34:03A man of your talents?
00:34:06Nothing's impossible.
00:34:07You haven't heard the cost yet.
00:34:11You have a lot of work to do.
00:34:16To earn a privilege of an invite.
00:34:21That was only a taste of what I'm capable of.
00:34:24Well, I guess I have to find out that later.
00:34:28But now, I want something from Kingsley Tech.
00:34:34Victoria's company?
00:34:36It's been falling apart ever since her parents died.
00:34:39I'm serious.
00:34:42If it didn't have the Kingsley name on it,
00:34:44nobody in my family would even care about it.
00:34:46That's not your problem.
00:34:49Do what I say,
00:34:52or you'll be left with nothing.
00:34:56All right.
00:34:58Good thing we still have an insider in her company.
00:35:03That's better.
00:35:14Three days into the summit.
00:35:16I have to lock priority access.
00:35:21Power outage?
00:35:24Power outage?
00:35:43All?
00:35:46Mike?
00:35:48Anybody?
00:35:50Anybody?
00:36:04Who's there?
00:36:10I'm just hearing this.
00:36:14There.
00:36:32I'm just hearing this.
00:36:42Interesting.
00:36:44Breaker room should be...
00:36:46Tech department, now!
00:36:49Who are you?
00:36:51You really can't tell?
00:36:54It's you?
00:37:02Emily!
00:37:03It's you?
00:37:04Surprise.
00:37:06Emily, since the day you've joined this company,
00:37:08vacations, bonuses, raises, you've had everything.
00:37:12Why'd you turn your back on you?
00:37:14Quit whining!
00:37:16You've been good to me, Victoria,
00:37:18but the Van family's offering more.
00:37:22Why wouldn't I take it?
00:37:29I am your employee, not your slave.
00:37:33I've got a better deal now, and you should be happy for me.
00:37:37Emily, you've let money blind you.
00:37:39Shut up!
00:37:41You're taking me to the tech department, now!
00:37:49Move it!
00:38:02Finally, Tristan gets what he wants!
00:38:05Not so fast.
00:38:07What's that supposed to mean?
00:38:09This tech is split into three parts.
00:38:12You've only got one of them.
00:38:14Where's the rest?
00:38:16Tell me!
00:38:18You wish!
00:38:20Then die!
00:38:21Toi!
00:38:29It's a cute toy.
00:38:30It hardly even stings.
00:38:32Blood enough to make you feel every bone.
00:38:40You're good.
00:38:43You're good.
00:38:44You're good.
00:39:04Yeah, I'm fine.
00:39:06I just never thought Emily would backstab me like that.
00:39:11Who's Tristan after anyway?
00:39:13That's worth going this far.
00:39:16The quantum chip tech.
00:39:18My parents' last research.
00:39:21From the sham engagement to buying off my uncle, every move led to this.
00:39:26I just never thought my own assistant would sell me out.
00:39:30Say the word and I'll make them all disappear.
00:39:34No, it's fine.
00:39:36I'll figure something out.
00:39:38How?
00:39:39As long as we land new deals, you won't have any hold over us.
00:39:50Motherfucker!
00:39:54It's Cole again!
00:39:56He's fucking all up!
00:39:58Little fucking mutt!
00:40:01Easy, babe.
00:40:03I know how to deal with Cole.
00:40:05I have an idea.
00:40:07Oh yeah?
00:40:08What?
00:40:11No matter how tough you are,
00:40:14if a woman's got your interest,
00:40:17you're done for.
00:40:20I like that.
00:40:21I like that.
00:40:22I like that a lot.
00:40:40Who is this?
00:40:42Come on, Cole.
00:40:43Don't be so mean.
00:40:44I'm just trying to help.
00:40:46Listen.
00:40:47The Van family's been looking into Victoria.
00:40:50What's your point?
00:40:51All right, all right.
00:40:53My point is,
00:40:55they've got a file on Victoria's company.
00:40:57And if it leaks,
00:40:58she's screwed.
00:41:01Who the hell are you?
00:41:02What do you want?
00:41:03Relax.
00:41:04I'm not trying to threaten you.
00:41:06Just meet me at the bar tonight,
00:41:088 o'clock.
00:41:09And maybe,
00:41:10I'll take care of this for you.
00:41:18Cole, what's going on, man?
00:41:20I've got to head out for a bit.
00:41:21Keep an eye on Victoria.
00:41:23If anything happens,
00:41:24call me.
00:42:00You want to have some fun?
00:42:03I'm going to eat it.
00:42:08Take it easy, big guy.
00:42:34Take it easy, big guy.
00:42:41I'm going to eat it.
00:42:42I'm going to eat it.
00:42:42Cute.
00:43:00Getus.
00:43:00You're welcome.
00:43:00You're welcome.
00:43:01You're welcome.
00:43:05So let's go.
00:43:05What's up?
00:43:11You're lucky I don't hate women.
00:43:14What if you keep pushing me?
00:43:18I will.
00:43:20Just join me for a drink.
00:43:24For Victoria and her company.
00:43:30I knew that name would get you back.
00:43:38Cut the crap.
00:43:40You're not getting anywhere near Victoria.
00:43:43I'm not going to let that happen.
00:43:45Have your drink.
00:43:48And then...
00:43:51I'll tell you all my secrets.
00:44:07Call me, you asshole.
00:44:20Tell me now.
00:44:28No.
00:44:30The truck man.
00:44:32No.
00:44:34Better.
00:44:35It's my own special blend.
00:44:37It's an aphrodisiac.
00:44:43You got two options.
00:44:46One, you hand me Victoria's research and I give you the antidote.
00:44:52Or two, we skip the business.
00:44:56We have a little bit of fun.
00:44:58And she can find out the messy way.
00:45:01No, no.
00:45:01Don't move.
00:45:03Don't move.
00:45:13Thanks for watching over, my husband.
00:45:15He's coming home with me now.
00:45:17Oh, no.
00:45:18Sweetheartedly, so he's here and he's mine.
00:45:22I'm sorry.
00:45:24Nothing happened between us.
00:45:26I swear.
00:45:26I know.
00:45:27You have better taste than this.
00:45:30Excuse me?
00:45:32Come on, Cole.
00:45:33Let's go home.
00:45:43It's too hot.
00:45:45I can't breathe.
00:45:55Cole Slade.
00:45:57Zero number zero nine two four one four.
00:46:02My brother's number was just one digit off.
00:46:07Who are you?
00:46:12Cole!
00:46:14Cole!
00:46:32Did you just kiss me?
00:46:55How the hell did I end up here?
00:47:01Cole!
00:47:02Cole!
00:47:04Cole!
00:47:21Good morning.
00:47:25Good morning.
00:47:29Good morning.
00:47:33Last night, did we, um...
00:47:35Nope.
00:47:37Nothing happened.
00:47:45You seem almost happy about that.
00:47:51You were in the military?
00:47:54Um, no, no.
00:48:04What are you looking at?
00:48:06Profile in the Shadow Alliance's new U.S. Director.
00:48:10What?
00:48:12It's a woman.
00:48:13Yeah, I know Amber's a woman.
00:48:17How did you know her name is Amber?
00:48:23Why are you still digging into the Shadow Alliance?
00:48:27Well, Amber is picking a new partner tonight.
00:48:31Odds are it'll be the Vann family.
00:48:33If that happens, they'll take over my parents' quantum chip tech.
00:48:38So you want to use the Shadow Alliance to protect it?
00:48:41Problem is, I can't even get an invite.
00:48:45Doesn't your family already have one?
00:48:46Yeah, but they're not taking me.
00:48:49Why?
00:48:50I thought I gave your grandpa that painting.
00:48:53They...
00:48:54Burned it.
00:48:56Said it was a knockoff.
00:48:58I'll pay you back.
00:49:05If I get you that...
00:49:14Can we forget about that deal we made?
00:49:23Come again?
00:49:27Nothing.
00:49:34If you can really get me that invite, I will do anything you want.
00:49:48I'll just carry that badge with you.
00:49:51I'll take care of the rest.
00:50:02Go on ahead.
00:50:05You're not coming in with me?
00:50:07I'll catch up.
00:50:10Okay.
00:50:19Give me an invite to the Sun.
00:50:22The best one you got.

01:03:42that is all you need to know victoria never said she wants to become the shadow alliance's partner
01:03:47as part of the kingsley family and what does that mean she's starting her own company under her name
01:03:56are you serious a shell company partnering with the shadow alliance do you think everyone's dumb
01:04:02enough to believe that you got in here on a fake invite don't push your luck someone forged a shadow
01:04:09alliance invite you know since the shadow alliance started there were two people that forged an invite
01:04:21and they paid the price didn't think i'll see such a fool today what's the matter didn't think mr
01:04:31vaul would show up in person when i show him this fake invite

01:08:09you don't worry tristan the moment we step out of this room victoria is no longer a member of this
01:08:14family ladies and gentlemen the shadow alliance has made a decision our new partner is
01:08:27once you land shadow alliance taking down victoria and cole is gonna be child's play
01:08:34the new partner of the shadow alliance is

01:09:04it as
01:09:04you see fit and if you need any resources from then on give the word and i'll make it happen
01:09:10what is
01:09:11the deal with victoria i mean who is she the shadow alliance doesn't just partner with random people
01:09:19that deal is basically free money cole said that lester was just trying to make people happy right
01:09:28who do we think the elephant in the room is he flipped like a switch the second he saw that
01:09:32badge in her hand he was going to give the partnership to tristan
01:09:42impossible i never lose cole am i dreaming
01:09:48what i tell you if i carry that badge i'll pick you period but 50 billion dollars all off one

01:10:10happen
01:10:10you're serious all of this is real of course it's not real wake up he only picked you because he
01:10:18assumed
01:10:18you were running the kingsley family mr duval she she's just a pretty face she is unfit to partner with
01:10:27the shadow alliance okay she has no resources mr duval if we're talking about power and influence
01:10:36tristan is the only logical choice that's right victoria as of today you are no longer a member of
01:10:45this family and without the kingsley name you have absolutely nothing to offer the shadow alliance
01:10:57you kingsley sure you want to cut victoria loose
01:11:04that's that friend of yours what's she doing here i almost thought she was someone important
01:11:10but if she's cold strand she's probably just a gutter rack keep talking like that and the van
01:11:15family's gonna be six feet under by midnight
01:11:21go on lester tell the distinguished mr van who i am
01:11:26oh hello tristan oh god this is miss amber cross the u.s director of the shadow alliance
01:11:35and if i remember you just referred to miss cross as a gutter rack i didn't know who she was
01:11:42oh god
01:11:43mr duval please tristan's just young and ignorant give him another chance to prove himself
01:11:51what the fuck man this is this is my turn i'm the one who runs this no one comes in
01:11:58here and pushes me
01:11:59around i need the shadow alliance you hear me if all you had done was cross the shadow alliance i
01:12:07may
01:12:07have given you a free pass but what's really unforgivable is that you disrespected miss victoria
01:12:13kingsley the woman with the badge cole what is this even amber's acting like it's the most valuable
01:12:22thing in the world dad isn't it the same badge cole tried to give you at the family dinner
