Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Choose one to be your mate. None of them. I choose Damon, the crippled Alpha. I am the only direct
00:00:06bloodline heir of the Iron Moon pack. Yet, I was born a female Alpha, who couldn't even maintain
00:00:13a stable wolf form. I spent 10 years chasing after Kaylin Stone, until one day, standing outside his
00:00:20bedroom door, I heard him swear to Vivian Moss. I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position. You're
00:00:26the only one I want. The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived, when a servant screamed.
00:00:31Help! Vivian is missing! Then she appeared, crying, running. It was Lyra. She had me taken. My head
00:00:39snapped to the side. Silence swallowed the entire hall. Then he looked at me. I will never mark
00:00:45someone like you. Love isn't something people in our position get to negotiate. If everything
00:00:50comes down to power and survival, then I choose strength, not sentiment. Choose one to be your
00:00:54mate. One of these potential Alpha candidates will become the next Alpha of our pack.
00:01:00None of them. I choose Damon, the crippled Alpha. I am the only direct bloodline heir of the Iron
00:01:09Moon pack. Yet, I was born a female Alpha. Everyone said that the five orphans my father brought back
00:01:16from the battlefield were the true future of the pack. He raised them into the most admired beta
00:01:21warriors in Iron Moon. As for me, I was nothing more than a pretty heir with noble blood who couldn't
00:01:28even maintain a stable wolf form. And as far as those five were concerned, I barely existed.
00:01:34I spent ten years chasing after Caelan Stone, only to earn countless looks of disdain in return.
00:01:41I used to think he treated all women that way. Until one day, standing outside his bedroom door,
00:01:46I heard him swear to Vivian Moss. I'll mark Lyra only to secure my position.
00:01:51You're the only mate I want.
00:01:53Maybe I don't.
00:01:55Those words shattered everything I had believed in for the past ten years.
00:02:01On the eve of the Elders' Council meeting, my father asked me who I wanted to choose.
00:02:05I 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.
00:02:12I choose Damon Bloodfing of the Bloodfill Pack.
00:02:15Damon was poisoned by silver five years ago. His legs were left paralyzed,
00:02:19and rumors say he can't even complete a mating mark anymore. Are 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, then I choose strength, not sentiment.
00:02:31Damon may be crippled, but his bloodline, his pack, and his warriors still outweigh those five men combined.
00:02:37My father's expression darkened.
00:02:38You say that so easily, but are you telling me none of the five boys I raised for you ever
00:02:44caught your attention?
00:02:45My mother had been my father's only mate.
00:02:47She died the year I was born.
00:02:49A rogue attack.
00:02:50Too much blood loss.
00:02:51No second chance.
00:02:53After that, he never took another mate.
00:02:55But he also never fully believed a female alpha could carry Iron Moon alone.
00:02:59So he followed the Council's recommendation.
00:03:02He brought back five orphaned boys from the battlefield and raised them inside Iron Moon.
00:03:06He made one rule from the beginning.
00:03:09No matter who I chose, that man would be granted alpha status, meant to rule beside me, not beneath me.
00:03:16That was his compromise.
00:03:17Love me fiercely, and still not trust me enough to do it alone.
00:03:21I met his gaze.
00:03:22My bond with Damon Bloodbold doesn't require sentiment.
00:03:26It only requires succession.
00:03:28He is the sole heir of Bloodbold that makes him more valuable than any arranged foster alliance you built here.
00:03:34Compared to relying on adopted sons to stabilize Iron Moon, an alliance with a true power pack is simply the
00:03:40rational choice.
00:03:41Silence stretched between us.
00:03:44If none of them were able to hold your attention, then there is no reason to keep them in Iron
00:03:49Moon.
00:03:50We left the Council Hall together.
00:03:52My father cast Caelan a brief, unreadable glance before walking out.
00:03:57What did you report this time?
00:04:01Let me guess.
00:04:02She ran to Alpha again because we didn't treat her like royalty.
00:04:06Princess Lyra didn't get enough attention, so she needed to complain?
00:04:10Orion and Riven followed with quiet snorts, barely even trying to hide it.
00:04:15Five voices, one direction, all aimed at me, like a wall closing in.
00:04:20If none of you want to mark me, why hasn't a single one of you ever told my father directly?
00:04:26My father didn't force bonds.
00:04:28He never had.
00:04:29One clear refusal would have been enough.
00:04:31He would have released them with wealth and freedom and 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.
00:04:41Not the future it promised.
00:04:42Stop dressing it up.
00:04:44We're just fostered wolves living in Iron Moon.
00:04:47What 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.
00:04:53For a second, the others went quiet.
00:04:55Almost moved.
00:04:57Like he was taking the burden of sacrifice onto himself.
00:05:00But all I felt was a slow, bitter weight settling in my chest.
00:05:04Nothing else.
00:05:05Then, Vivian showed up.
00:05:07The moment her eyes landed on me, she shifted back, instinctively, and slipped behind Caelan.
00:05:13She didn't do anything.
00:05:15Drop it for today.
00:05:17I stared at them.
00:05:19Five men.
00:05:20The 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.
00:05:28Something in my memory snapped open.
00:05:30One year ago.
00:05:31Not long after Vivian arrived at Iron Moon.
00:05:34That night, I carried healing broth to Caelan's quarters.
00:05:37He'd been injured during border patrol.
00:05:39He told me not to come.
00:05:40I still did.
00:05:41His door wasn't fully shut.
00:05:44Caelan, are you really going to mark Lyra?
00:05:48My hand froze on the doorframe.
00:05:51No.
00:05:53I won't mark her.
00:05:54My chest tightened before I even understood why.
00:05:57Then 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.
00:06:07She's just stepping stone.
00:06:09Once I take control, I'll send her away.
00:06:14Then what about me?
00:06:16You?
00:06:17You're the only one I want.
00:06:20Once I take Alpha, I'll mark you publicly.
00:06:23You'll be my Luna.
00:06:27She can't even shift right.
00:06:29Luna?
00:06:30Seriously?
00:06:32She's only valuable because of her bloodline.
00:06:35Nothing else.
00:06:38Does she actually believe we'd choose her?
00:06:43When she finds out, she's going to break.
00:06:47Like it was already decided.
00:06:49Then you won't lie to me, right?
00:06:53I swear.
00:06:56Only you.
00:06:57The bowl slipped from my hands.
00:06:59It hit the ground and shattered.
00:07:04Who's there?
00:07:05I moved into the shadow beside the doorway and 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.
00:07:16Didn't speak.
00:07:17Didn't cry.
00:07:18Didn't make a sound.
00:07:19Only when the silence settled did I step back.
00:07:22Into the moonlight.
00:07:23It spilled across my face like something too clean for what I was feeling.
00:07:29The next morning I met Vivian in the garden.
00:07:31She was holding a bowl of flower essence.
00:07:34Smiling like she had been waiting for me.
00:07:36Good morning, Lyra.
00:07:39Sleep well?
00:07:40Now there was ease in her expression.
00:07:42Confidence.
00:07:43I did.
00:07:44She paused.
00:07:45Just for a second.
00:07:47Lyra, this was my mother's.
00:07:49I wanted you to have it.
00:07:52For everything you've done for me.
00:07:54Before I could respond, Caelan appeared.
00:07:57You're seriously taking her mother's relic?
00:08:00Now?
00:08:01I froze.
00:08:03Vivian dropped instantly.
00:08:04Knees to the ground.
00:08:07It wasn't Lyra.
00:08:08I gave it to her.
00:08:10Please don't blame her.
00:08:11She slammed her forehead into the ground.
00:08:14Again.
00:08:14Blood showed almost immediately.
00:08:16Merrick arrived first.
00:08:18Then Corbin, Orion, Riven.
00:08:20Lyra!
00:08:21Enough!
00:08:23You're the heir.
00:08:24Not a bully.
00:08:25You have everything.
00:08:27And you still take the only thing she has?
00:08:30Riven drew his dagger in one smooth motion.
00:08:34Apologize.
00:08:34An alpha heir boxed in on all sides.
00:08:37They weren't asking.
00:08:38They were pressing me down.
00:08:40Forcing submission.
00:08:41Forcing my neck exposed to an Omega who was clearly playing a game they refused to see.
00:08:47Vivian kept her head lowered.
00:08:48But I caught it anyway.
00:08:50That small, satisfied curve at the corner of her mouth.
00:08:53I didn't fight back.
00:08:54Because somewhere deep down, there was still a stupid, fragile part of me that waited.
00:09:00Maybe Caelan would step in.
00:09:01Maybe he'd say, this doesn't add up.
00:09:04He didn't.
00:09:06Apologize.
00:09:07Or I don't mark you.
00:09:09That line landed harder than anything else.
00:09:12Because I had already given him everything I had in me.
00:09:15I couldn't afford to lose him.
00:09:17Not then.
00:09:18So I lowered my head.
00:09:19My throat burned as I exposed my neck.
00:09:22I'm sorry.
00:09:23And that moment?
00:09:24That single submission lasted a year.
00:09:27After that day, Vivian changed how she moved around me.
00:09:30Like I was something dangerous.
00:09:32Sometimes she dropped to her knees the moment she saw me.
00:09:35Sometimes she hid behind the five of them.
00:09:37Shaking.
00:09:38Crying on cue.
00:09:39And I did nothing.
00:09:40Once, she tripped in the garden.
00:09:42A shallow scrape on her knee.
00:09:44Nothing serious.
00:09:45But she ran straight to Caelan in tears.
00:09:47Claiming I had pushed her.
00:09:49No questions asked.
00:09:50All five of them came for me.
00:09:52They tore through my quarters like a storm.
00:09:54Everything broken.
00:09:55Everything scattered.
00:09:56If you touch her again, break our wolf legs myself.
00:10:00I almost laughed.
00:10:02Wolf legs.
00:10:03I couldn't even shift properly.
00:10:05But it didn't matter.
00:10:06They believed her.
00:10:07Always her.
00:10:08The memory snapped back like a pulled thread.
00:10:11Vivian was still behind Caelan now.
00:10:13Smiling faintly.
00:10:14Like she had already won something no one else could see.
00:10:18If you're that afraid I'll hurt her.
00:10:19You might as well leash her to your side.
00:10:21Are you threatening me?
00:10:23What are you planning to do to her?
00:10:26Let me guess.
00:10:27Now that we gave Vivian a Starfall Sanctum, you're finally snapping?
00:10:31You already have everything.
00:10:32And she has nothing.
00:10:34It's just Starfall Sanctum.
00:10:36Why are you acting like this is some tragedy?
00:10:38My gaze sharpened.
00:10:40Starfall Sanctum?
00:10:41Starfall Sanctum wasn't just a place.
00:10:43It was a buried lunar basin deep under Iron Moon territory.
00:10:46When it hit the sacred waters, it refracted into something that looked like a galaxy trapped underground.
00:10:52My father spent 18 years building it.
00:10:55For me.
00:10:56A coming of age gift.
00:10:58Half a year ago, as it neared completion, he handed oversight to Caelan.
00:11:02He was supposed to present it to me on my ceremony day.
00:11:05Instead, it never reached me.
00:11:07It went to Vivian.
00:11:09My eyes locked on Caelan.
00:11:10He was the one who controlled final access.
00:11:13No one entered without his approval.
00:11:15Vivian grew up on the outskirts of the pack.
00:11:17She's never seen a real night sky.
00:11:19I gave her a moment.
00:11:21That's all.
00:11:23The Sanctum is still yours on paper.
00:11:26Don't turn this into something it isn't.
00:11:28And stop making a scene.
00:11:30If it comes to it, I'll announce our mating bond.
00:11:33At your coming of age ceremony next month.
00:11:35That should satisfy you enough.
00:11:36Right?
00:11:37The way Caelan looked at me, calm, almost magnanimous, made something cold twist in my chest.
00:11:46For a second, I almost wondered if I was the one who didn't belong here.
00:11:50If anything, they looked at him like he was making some kind of noble sacrifice.
00:11:55You really don't have to go this far.
00:11:57Lyra's spoiled.
00:11:58Ruthless.
00:11:59Marking her is no different than marking...
00:12:02A stone.
00:12:03At least you'll finally get what she's been chasing for years.
00:12:07Caelan, don't do this for me.
00:12:09If it helps, I'll kneel to her.
00:12:10I'll beg.
00:12:11I'll do anything she wants.
00:12:13I swallowed once.
00:12:14Hard.
00:12:15I won't choose you.
00:12:17Caelan's brow lifted slightly.
00:12:18Like he was still deciding whether I was serious.
00:12:21Merrick and Corbin exchanged a look.
00:12:23Like they were more afraid I'd choose them instead.
00:12:25That alone hit something deep in my chest.
00:12:28Ten years.
00:12:29Standing behind them.
00:12:30And still, I was the only one treated like I didn't belong in the same space.
00:12:35I turned to leave.
00:12:36Vivian caught my wrist.
00:12:38Then she dropped instantly.
00:12:39Knees to the ground.
00:12:40Head lowered.
00:12:42Please, don't make this harder for Caelan.
00:12:45The five of them were brought into Iron Moon.
00:12:47They were never equal to begin with.
00:12:49If you're going to report this over Starfall Sanctuary, I'll apologize.
00:12:52I'll do whatever you want.
00:12:55Then she started bowing.
00:12:56Fast.
00:12:57Hard.
00:12:58Her forehead hit the ground until blood appeared.
00:13:01Caelan moved immediately.
00:13:02He pulled her up.
00:13:03Jaw tight.
00:13:04So you say you won't choose me.
00:13:06But when the time comes, don't change your mind.
00:13:10This whole thing, you're just trying to pressure her indirectly.
00:13:14You just want an excuse to report her and force her out, don't you?
00:13:17I don't care what you think.
00:13:19I won't choose you.
00:13:22Caelan grabbed my wrist.
00:13:24Hard.
00:13:25Not me?
00:13:25Then who?
00:13:27Marek?
00:13:28Corbin?
00:13:29Marek wants freedom.
00:13:31Corbin wants peace.
00:13:32Haven't you already taken enough from them?
00:13:35If you agree to stop targeting Vivian, I'll mark you.
00:13:39Just stop this.
00:13:41That's all I'm asking.
00:13:42For the first time, he looked exhausted.
00:13:44Like I had been the one wearing him down for years.
00:13:47I held his gaze for a long moment, then said quietly,
00:13:51Everything will go the way you want.
00:13:52He was afraid I'd hurt Vivian.
00:13:54He refused to mark me.
00:13:56Fine.
00:13:56Once I became Damon Bloodfang's mate, none of this would matter anyway.
00:14:00The day of my coming-of-age ceremony arrived.
00:14:03Iron Moon had been transformed.
00:14:05Everyone knew why they were here.
00:14:07Not just my 18th birthday.
00:14:10My mate declaration.
00:14:12And everyone already knew the outcome.
00:14:15Kaylin Stone.
00:14:16Because I had chased him for 10 years.
00:14:19Because the entire pack had watched it happen.
00:14:22The five of them stood in the front row.
00:14:24Even the guests looked at them more than they looked at me.
00:14:28Like this ceremony belonged to them.
00:14:31I was about to shut down the whispers when a servant screamed.
00:14:34Help!
00:14:35Vivian is missing!
00:14:36There's a note!
00:14:37She's been kidnapped!
00:14:38The shift was immediate.
00:14:42Merrick moved first.
00:14:44Before I could even turn, my head snapped to the side.
00:14:48Silence swallowed the entire hall.
00:14:51The pain landed a beat too late.
00:14:54Around us, people scattered instinctively.
00:14:57Kaylin grabbed Merrick's arm before he could swing again.
00:14:59Then he looked at me.
00:15:02We already stood here like you're choosing between us.
00:15:05Like we're disposable.
00:15:06And it still isn't enough!
00:15:07His voice sharpened.
00:15:09Do you want her dead?
00:15:10I stared back at him.
00:15:12Corbin looked at me like I was something contaminated.
00:15:15You waited until she was alone and staged this.
00:15:18You really think we won't see through it?
00:15:19That's when it clicked.
00:15:20Not confusion.
00:15:22Clarity.
00:15:23Vivian had done this again.
00:15:24And this time, she'd done it in front of everyone.
00:15:28No one moved to intervene.
00:15:31Not after I was slapped in public.
00:15:33Not after I stood there bleeding pride.
00:15:36Because they had already made their decision.
00:15:39Iron Moon wasn't mine in their eyes.
00:15:42Apologize.
00:15:42He let out a short, humorless laugh.
00:15:46Vivian nearly lost her innocence, and you're worried about a slap?
00:15:49Then she appeared, crying, running, her dress torn, dirt-stained, like she had barely escaped something violent.
00:15:59It was Lyra.
00:16:01She had me taken.
00:16:03She said she'd have rogue wolves to violate me, so I'd never come back.
00:16:10The hall detonated.
00:16:12Whispers turned into outrage.
00:16:14Shock into judgment.
00:16:16Kalen didn't hesitate.
00:16:17He pulled his coat around her like she was something fragile and irreplaceable.
00:16:22Then he looked at me.
00:16:24You don't stop, do you?
00:16:26His voice dropped.
00:16:27I will never mark someone like you.
00:16:30The world below is a hundred times tougher than stone!
00:16:36That skinning knife of yours could never cut through the iron wall of the god's will!
00:16:40Time to Jesus!
00:16:43Ah!
00:16:49Oh!
00:16:50That was a big one.
00:16:52I was scared.
00:16:54Uf!
00:16:57Oh!
00:17:20Everything has a weakness.
00:17:28Even the gods.
00:17:35I'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.
00:17:46The world below is a mire of divine rule.
00:17:48You bear no spark of divinity, no blessing from the gods.
00:17:52Those self-proclaimed noble beings will never accept you.
00:17:55I don't want pity from Olympian.
00:17:58All I seek is the truth.
00:18:00When 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.
00:18:15Agus 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
00:18:22titan.
00:18:22Blood unseen in millennia.
00:18:24No one in this world will ever be able to defeat him.
00:18:32Father. Mother. How do I find you?
00:18:45Princess Ellara, there's nowhere left for you to run.
00:18:48Princess.
00:18:49You'd go so far as to wipe out the heirs of other bloodlines.
00:18:52For what?
00:18:53Just to force more people to serve the god of war?
00:18:56Your actions bring nothing but shame to Eres.
00:18:59The Zeus you worship is powerless.
00:19:00Sparta's throne deserves a new ruler.
00:19:02Our leader!
00:19:07You're still here.
00:19:08You want to die or what?
00:19:10This is a feud between our houses.
00:19:11Don't rag an innocent bystander into it.
00:19:13Let him leave.
00:19:14Just 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.
00:19:25Run while you can!
00:19:40Now it's your turn.
00:20:02Did you save me?
00:20:05Princess, you're awake.
00:20:08Those soldiers, the Eres Seelits, did they hurt you?
00:20:12No.
00:20:13Thank the gods, but you are immortal.
00:20:16How were you able to rescue me from foes wielding a god's blessing?
00:20:22Remember this.
00:20:23The pure blood of a titan runs through your veins.
00:20:27Until you are strong enough to stand against Olympus, you must guard this knowledge.
00:20:33Otherwise, 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.
00:20:47I'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.
00:21:06You'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 about this tall
00:21:16now.
00:21:19Princess, where will you go next?
00:21:21Back to the royal palace in Sparta.
00:21:28Lord 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.
00:21:43A god forsaken outcast without a divine spark.
00:21:47Lycaon.
00:21:48He 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!
00:21:56If 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?
00:22:05My lord!
00:22:06Your majesty!
00:22:07Princess Alara has returned!
00:22:09Why, Alara?
00:22:16Thank you for saving my daughter, young man.
00:22:18No need.
00:22:19I was just passing by.
00:22:21Nothing more.
00:22:23A lowly temple magimus.
00:22:25Leaving his temple and coming to Sparta.
00:22:27What precisely brings you here?
00:22:30I'm searching for my birth parents.
00:22:33I don't know who they are.
00:22:35I only have this.
00:22:38I hope to find answers through this ring.
00:22:52My child, this ring holds fragments of Lock of Prometheus.
00:22:57It hides your aura.
00:22:59Grow up safe and sound, my little one.
00:23:04You've done well, Hecara.
00:23:07Let me feel the blessed radiance Olympus has bestowed upon our firstborn son.
00:23:19Not only has Zeus refused to bless him, he doesn't even have a divine spark!
00:23:25I can't.
00:23:26Sparta will never tolerate such a godforsaken abomination.
00:23:29If word spreads, our city will be mocked and destroyed.
00:23:31Cast him into the abyss!
00:23:32Tell everyone the child died at birth!
00:23:33No!
00:23:34My baby!
00:23:35Wake on you!
00:23:36I can't leave it!
00:23:38This is the ring I used to seal.
00:23:40This is Aera.
00:23:42My child.
00:23:43The son I thought lost to the Ababyss.
00:23:47And why?
00:23:52Ha ha!
00:23:53Young man, you saved Princess Ellara!
00:23:56The House of Sparta owes you a debt.
00:23:59We shall aid you in your search for your birth family.
00:24:01Stay as our guest in the palace for a few days.
00:24:04Very well.
00:24:09The Queen's reaction is far too strange the moment I showed the ring.
00:24:12Why 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 Locke of Prometheus!
00:24:23I sealed them inside with my own hands.
00:24:26I could never be mistaken.
00:24:27He is the son we cast into the abyss.
00:24:30Why won't you let me acknowledge him?
00:24:33That Majakos?
00:24:34He's my brother?
00:24:35Silence!
00:24:37He was abandoned the moment he was born without a divine spark.
00:24:40Sparta prides self on being favored by the gods.
00:24:43If the deities and other city stage learn my son is not just a Megarius, but also lacks a divine
00:24:48spark,
00:24:49how could I uphold Sparta's rule and our family's reputation?
00:24:58Mark my words.
00:24:59No matter what happens, you will never acknowledge him.
00:25:03If you do, I'll charge you both for saccharinge and cast you out of Sparta forever.
00:25:20This 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.
00:25:29That was Athena's chosen.
00:25:30Timmyos!
00:25:33We should be praying to the gods for more power.
00:25:35Instead of acting like certain lowly commoners.
00:25:42You lowly Megarius.
00:25:45What could you possibly know of battle?
00:25:47I 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.
00:25:57Ants Roroas Nush thinks himself grand just from skinning a few beasts.
00:26:04Let me warn you.
00:26:05You got lucky that night.
00:26:07Don'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.
00:26:14Worlds apart from warriors blessed with divine power.
00:26:17Know 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.
00:26:38Zeus' blessing?
00:26:39Is it truly as unbreakable as they claim?
00:27:10Ares worshippers.
00:27:12from the city-state of Arg watch us,
00:27:14greedily caviting our title as Greece's mightiest warrior state.
00:27:18They will likely come to challenge us before long.
00:27:28My... my lord!
00:27:30The sacred monument!
00:27:34How could the monument end up like this?
00:27:38The god is perfectly even.
00:27:41It was split clean with a single blade strike.
00:27:44Even the great Timaeus 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.
00:27:53My lord!
00:27:54If we could gain the aid of such a mighty figure,
00:27:56we would have nothing to fear from those 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?
00:28:22Agus...
00:28:24I had this armor made for you.
00:28:26Try it on and see if it fits.
00:28:28Oh.
00:28:29Thank you, your majesty.
00:28:31Put it on quickly.
00:28:35My dear son has grown into a noble, towering warrior.
00:28:49What's happening?
00:28:51The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:12The Reapers of Ares have come for us.
00:29:32Agus, why are you still here?
00:29:34You cannot wield divine power.
00:29:36Leave!
00:29:36At once, before you're dragged into this!
00:29:39A worthless Majarchius 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!
00:30:03Creeons, you're but a youth!
00:30:07How dare you lead an invasion into Sparta's royal city!
00:30:11Did your father teach you nothing of divine authority?
00:30:17Divine authority...
00:30:18What?
00:30:45I may have killed one of ourЕers who had lifted over power !
00:30:48My youth are Конечно!
00:30:51Zeus' blessings are nothing but a hollow pretense.
00:30:53Lord Ares' power is the true sovereignty.
00:31:18Father!
00:31:30Monster! Get away from my father!
00:31:44Now it's my turn.
00:31:55Monster!
00:31:56Today, every last Spartan here dies.
00:32:02In our end! No!
00:32:07Run!
00:32:09I'll hold him off!
00:32:11Agus! My son! Run!
00:32:16The queen is my mother.
00:32:20My 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!
00:32:41Sparta'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.
00:32:49Go back to Mount Pellae!
00:32:50No wonder I felt such warmth in my bloodstained heart whenever I was new.
00:32:53They're my own flesh and blood.
00:32:54My mother and my sister.
00:33:01My mother and my sister.
00:33:02Today I'll send the entire royal house of Spartans into the underworld.
00:33:05Die!
00:33:09Die!
00:33:28Let's get divorced.
00:33:29I'd rather leave without taking any property.
00:33:32Settle your gambling debts on your own.
00:33:33Don't drag me into this mess.
00:33:35I kept explaining that it was Timmy Lunch who had lost money betting on underdog matches but she refused to
00:33:39listen.
00:33:39It's Timmy Lint who owes the money, not me.
00:33:44You want to trick my daughter into pay your debts?
00:33:47And you even dare to slander my son?
00:33:49Celia 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.
00:33:57The child's father is one of your...
00:33:59And sign the divorce agreement right now.
00:34:02I was utterly stunned.
00:34:03Just last night I won a 100 million USA prizes from football bets.
00:34:06I had even planned to help Timmy Lynch pay off his debt.
00:34:08Yet things had suddenly come to a head over 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.
00:34:25Celia 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.
00:34:41Don't put on a brave front.
00:34:43Do you really think a divorce will get you out of this mess?
00:34:51She pulled out a pen and paper from under the coffee table, speaking in a stern tone.
00:34:56Sign this debt liability document.
00:35:00State clearly in black and white that the 100 million US dollars in gambling debts are solely the responsibility of
00:35:06Zach Lorenz and 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.
00:35:19Unsurprisingly, he lost every penny and ended up drowning in massive debt.
00:35:23Now 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.
00:35:32Your brother is the debtor. Go collect the money from him.
00:35:36I agree to a divorce, but I will never take the blame for his mistakes.
00:35:41Do you want to bring disaster upon the whole family?
00:35:45Celia hurried over and dug her well-groomed nails hard into my arm.
00:35:51She shouted furiously.
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.
00:36:23Yet she spent my hard-earned money buying luxury items for Edwin.
00:36:27Worse still, she was pregnant with his child.
00:36:32I 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.
00:36:48I agree to the divorce. I'll let you be with Edwin.
00:36:58You lowly nobody. Just wait until Edwin shows up.
00:37:01I'll see how arrogant you can be then.
00:37:06Harold stormed into the bedroom and began smashing things frantically.
00:37:12You won't sign, will you?
00:37:14Then I'll go cause trouble at your shabby shop and put an end to your business!
00:37:20She 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. Just 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
00:37:58and to the city center to claim the prize as soon as pucitly.
00:38:01I 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!
00:38:27Zack 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.
00:38:37Come one, come all!
00:38:38The owner of this shop gambles illegally and owes hundreds of millions in loan shark debts!
00:38:44He'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.
00:38:55I 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,
00:39:07putting on a wronged expression for the camera.
00:39:13Hello, everyone!
00:39:15This is my cold-hearted ex-husband!
00:39:19I 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!
00:39:45Stop 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.
00:40:26This television costs 800 US dollars.
00:40:30I will call the police and demand full compensation from you.
00:40:38Hundreds of millions in debt!
00:40:40He'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!
00:40:58She planted her hands on her hisps, turned to the onlookers, and raised her voice.
00:41:05Everyone, be the judge!
00:41:10This man lost hundreds of millions on sports betting,
00:41:13yet now he tries to extort 800 dollars from me for damages!
00:41:17A cold-blooded scoundrel like him deserves his come up in!
00:41:22Murmurs broke out among the crowd.
00:41:24Several elderly regulars who often bought lottery tickets here
00:41:26stared at me doubtfully.
00:41:28He 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!
00:41:42I don't know!
00:41:45I don't know!
00:41:46I don't know!
00:41:47I don't know!
00:41:49I don't know!
00:41:50Celia held up her phone,
00:41:52aiming the camera straight at me.
00:42:00The child you carry is Edwin's.
00:42:02If you can't stand the hardship, go to him.
00:42:05Why put on a show in my shop?
00:42:06Comments flooded the livestream rapidly,
00:42:08with Netsits jerling insults and trashing me relentlessly.
00:42:13Celia spoke in a tearful voice.
00:42:18Zack, if you sign the debt agreement and admit this is your personal liability,
00:42:21I'll leave at once and never bother you again!
00:42:24As she spoke,
00:42:25the stream was soon filled with sympathetic comments and gifs.
00:42:30Watching her clumsy, hypocritical act,
00:42:32I snired coldly.
00:42:34The child you carry is Edwin's.
00:42:36If 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,
00:42:52then broke into louder murmurs.
00:42:55Celia froze on the spot, panic flashing across her eyes.
00:43:02What?
00:43:08Zack! What's going on?
00:43:10Why is everything in such a mess here?!
00:43:21Celia quickly composed herself, tears streaming down her cheek.
00:43:29You lack ability yourself, yet you forcefully accuse me out of nowhere!
00:43:40Enraged by her words, Meryl charged forward and grabbed at my clothes.
00:43:47You heartless brute!
00:43:50You got your own issues, and still you dare to deface my daughter!
00:44:00Just then, an anxious voice rang out from beyond the crowd.
00:44:06Zack! What's going on? Why is everything in such a mess here?
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.
00:44:25In-law! Just look at what your son has done!
00:44:31She had gone to the hospital for a blood pressure check today,
00:44:34and dropped by the shop on her way back with some homemade soup.
00:44:41Stepping inside and seeing the total mess,
00:44:43with the broken television lying on the floor,
00:44:46Mother's hands shook uncontrollably.
00:44:55Dear in-law,
00:44:56you can resolve disputes through discussion.
00:44:59How could you bandish other race property like this?
00:45:03She hurried forward to pull Meryl aside.
00:45:07Burning with rage and eager to vent her anger,
00:45:09Meryl roughly shook off her hand and smeared.
00:45:20In-law!
00:45:21Just look at what your son has done!
00:45:23He's run up massive gambling debts
00:45:26and now tries to drag my daughter
00:45:28into paying them off!
00:45:34Mother turned deathly pale at once.
00:45:36What?
00:45:38Hundreds of millions in debt?
00:45:42Zack, what on earth is going on?
00:45:45Let me tell you the truth, old woman.
00:45:49This 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.
00:46:00The debt was incurred by Timmy.
00:46:01It's nothing to lose with me.
00:46:06Everyone take a good look.
00:46:08This is the gambler's mother.
00:46:15Jack 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,
00:46:23she 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
00:46:32and spoke slowly.
00:46:35Let me tell you the truth, old woman.
00:46:38This child isn't your son's at all.
00:46:41It belongs to his friend, Edwin.
00:46:44Your family line ends here.
00:46:46My mother's eyes widened.
00:46:48Mom!
00:46:54Mom!
00:46:56Call 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.
00:47:29Take this money for your mother's medical capement.
00:47:31The rest is for milk petter for Celia's unborn child.
00:47:37Step aside!
00:47:38Everyone move back!
00:47:45The bank coats hit me hard in the face
00:47:48and scattered into the spilled soup on the floor,
00:47:50soon covered in greasy stains.
00:47:52I stared firmly at Edwin Grant's insolent face.
00:47:58Cutting through the bustle of the street.
00:48:05Step aside!
00:48:06Everyone move back!
00:48:16Treat my mother immediately.
00:48:20As the door slid shut,
00:48:21I caught sight through the window of Edwin Grant Grant,
00:48:24throwing a victory sign towards the livestream camera,
00:48:27while Celia Lynch leaned against his chest
00:48:29with a triumphant smile on her face.
00:48:31$20,000.
00:48:36$20,000.
00:48:42The patient has suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage
00:48:44and needs an immediate craniotomy.
00:48:46A deposit of $20,000 must be paid first.
00:49:05$20,000.
00:49:06$20,000.
00:49:07$20,000.
00:49:07$20,000.
00:49:07$20,000.
00:49:08$20,000.
00:49:08$20,000.
00:49:09$20,000.
00:49:09$20,000.
00:49:09$20,000.
00:49:09$20,000.
00:49:10$20,000.
00:49:10$20,000.
00:49:17$20,000.
00:49:18All 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 my body,
00:49:30I did not even have $200 on me.
00:49:32The prize claim process would take time.
00:49:34Even if everything went as fast as possible, the money would not arrive until the next day.
00:49:40Uncle Will, my mother has suddenly suffered a rebal hemorrhage.
00:49:45I need $20,000 for her surgery.
00:49:47Right away. You could lend me the money to shove me over?
00:49:51I really can't lend you any money.
00:49:57Zach Lawrence, it's not that I don't want to help.
00:50:05Celia Lynch just said in her livestream 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.
00:50:20I've heard what happened. Let's cut off all contact.
00:50:26I really can't lend you any money.
00:50:30Our family disowns a disgrace like you.
00:50:34Celia Lynch's livestream had not only ruined my reputation,
00:50:38but also completely severed all my 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.
00:51:03Hey! What are you doing?
00:51:12I already gave you a fresh one.
00:51:13How could you eat a hot dog off the ground?
00:51:15I just...
00:51:17Don'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.
00:51:31She's really hungry.
00:51:36Dan, pull over.
00:51:38Boss, what's wrong?
00:51:39You might need help.
00:51:39Let's go take a look.
00:51:44Why didn't you just say so, kid?
00:51:45I'll go make another one for you.
00:51:47Sir, I already got one for free.
00:51:49I just can't take more.
00:51:51What a sweet kid.
00:51:53Just breaks my heart.
00:51:57Yeah.
00:51:58No idea who his dad is.
00:52:00What kind of heartless bastard just walks out on a kid and his mom like that?
00:52:04Here.
00:52:05Take this.
00:52:06Make sure you eat, okay?
00:52:07You're still just a kid.
00:52:08Here.
00:52:09Take it.
00:52:10Don't feel bad, okay?
00:52:12Just 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.
00:52:46Let's go, mom.
00:52:50Come on, Arthur.
00:52:53Wait.
00:52:59Can I help you, sir?
00:53:12The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
00:53:14You guys are lucky today.
00:53:25Why does she look so familiar?
00:53:34I know you.
00:53:35I know you.
00:53:36You're Alexander.
00:53:40Who doesn't know Alexander Clark?
00:53:43You're just pretending to be crazy to get money, aren't you?
00:53:46Mom!
00:53:46Come on.
00:53:47Cinda.
00:53:48What are you doing here?
00:53:50Saw your car while I was shopping.
00:53:52So I thought, why not say hi?
00:53:59Eww, woman like her, filthy, trashy, no-buns.
00:54:04They don't deserve your kindness.
00:54:06You're too soft, Alexander.
00:54:07No, no, no, no.
00:54:21Thanks.
00:54:32Wanna see what's underneath?
00:54:34No, no.
00:54:36No, no.
00:54:37No, no.
00:54:37No, no.
00:54:42Ryan, will you marry me?
00:54:45Yes!
00:54:48You're the only one I'll ever love.
00:54:50I'll give you everything. I promise.
00:54:55I love you, Alexander.
00:54:56All I need is you.
00:55:09Alexander!
00:55:11Alexander!
00:55:12Mom! Mom, what's wrong?
00:55:15What's happening to her?
00:55:16Ugh, she's obviously crazy. Let's get out of here fast.
00:55:21Alexander.
00:55:23But she's saying my name. How would she ever know me?
00:55:26Everyone in Tech City knows who you are.
00:55:29They're just faking hardship to manipulate your sympathy.
00:55:33When I look at her, I always feel like I've met her before.
00:55:39Alexander! It's me!
00:55:45You crazy woman! I 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.
00:55:59Pretending to know Alexander just to steal his money.
00:56:01Disgusting stats.
00:56:07I 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.
00:56:14I know you. I know you.
00:56:16Miss, I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
00:56:18I don't know you.
00:56:19I only stopped because I felt sorry for you and your son.
00:56:22No, you do know me. I'm...
00:56:26Mom!
00:56:27Mom, are you okay?
00:56:32But I know you. I know you.
00:56:34Alexander, let's go.
00:56:35This is just a pity act to swan your sympathy and your money.
00:56:39Sir, Miss Cinda's right.
00:56:40People 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 it?
00:56:52Are you out of your mind?
00:56:54This is a 2026 runway piece.
00:56:55Selling you and your crazy-ass mom wouldn't even pay for a sleeve.
00:56:59We're not lying.
00:57:00Say sorry to my mom right now.
00:57:03Stop.
00:57:06Kid, you belong in school.
00:57:08Not out here hustling strangers with your mom.
00:57:10We're not liars.
00:57:11You don't get to talk about my mom like that.
00:57:13No one's buying it.
00:57:15Tell your mom to quit the act.
00:57:16She's not even good at pretending.
00:57:20It'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.
00:57:32Where's your dad?
00:57:34I don't have dad.
00:57:38No wonder.
00:57:40Being a mother comes with responsibility.
00:57:43Stop this madness dragging your son into it.
00:57:45You're ruining that child.
00:57:46Take this.
00:57:48Use it to send him to school.
00:57:55Money!
00:57:57So much money.
00:57:59Mom!
00:58:00We can't take this!
00:58:02I need it!
00:58:03Money!
00:58:04See, Alexander?
00:58:05I told you.
00:58:06Crocodile tears and open hands.
00:58:08Classic scammer move.
00:58:09Boss, she's clearly faking it.
00:58:11Why waste your time?
00:58:11I pitied the kid.
00:58:13It's not her.
00:58:14Let's go.
00:58:14Little bastard.
00:58:16Lucky today.
00:58:18With this money, I can save Alexander.
00:58:21I can pay for his surgery!
00:58:25Alexander!
00:58:25I have money now!
00:58:32Mom!
00:58:32Please help!
00:58:33Somebody help my mom!
00:58:34Mom!
00:58:36Boss, they're acting again.
00:58:38Don't fall for it.
00:58:39Alexander, let's just forget about them.
00:58:41I booked that French place you love after dinner.
00:58:44Conflict.
00:58:44Don't touch me.
00:58:45I told you.
00:58:46I don't want you.
00:58:47The only woman I've ever loved is Brianna.
00:58:49Alexander!
00:58:49Brianna's dead!
00:58:50Mom!
00:58:51Next time I see you, it better be business.
00:58:53Nothing else.
00:58:57Filthy beggars!
00:58:58They ruined everything!
00:59:00Mom!
00:59:01Please!
00:59:02Wake up!
00:59:08Please!
00:59:11Save my mom!
00:59:32No!
00:59:36No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39I haven't seen her before.
00:59:47Don't touch me!
00:59:48Get off!
00:59:49Wait!
00:59:49Touch me!
00:59:50Don't touch me!
00:59:51No!
00:59:51No!
00:59:52No!
00:59:53No!
00:59:58Mom, it's okay.
00:59:59You're safe now.
01:00:00We're at the hospital.
01:00:16She seems mentally unstable.
01:00:18Could be long-term.
01:00:22Yeah.
01:00:23She's been like this forever.
01:00:24Totally out of it.
01:00:26You got her name?
01:00:28Any family?
01:00:29No clue.
01:00:30Just that poor kid.
01:00:32Her mind was already fragile.
01:00:33Something pushed her over the edge.
01:00:34Probably a huge shock.
01:00:36I know you!
01:00:38Alexander!
01:00:39You're Alexander!
01:00:40It was him.
01:00:42He made Mom snap?
01:00:43So what now?
01:00:43How do we help her?
01:00:45She needs brain surgery.
01:00:47And important meds.
01:00:49Without it, she wouldn't last more than a few days.
01:00:52Then start the treatment, please!
01:00:59Please, save my mom.
01:01:01She's all I have left.
01:01:04Look, kid.
01:01:06It's not that I don't care.
01:01:07The only hope is this new drug from Clark Corp.
01:01:10I sold scrap.
01:01:13This is all I got.
01:01:14Can it buy medicine?
01:01:16I'll pay for it.
01:01:17Just, please, get her the meds.
01:01:19Do something!
01:01:22That drug's still in development.
01:01:24Clark Corp hasn't released it yet.
01:01:26Please, I can't lose her.
01:01:28Alexander Clark runs that company.
01:01:30Big on charity, they say.
01:01:31If you can get access to ask him directly, maybe he'll help.
01:01:33It could be your only shot.
01:01:36Alexander Clark?
01:01:38The man standing in front of you is Alexander Clark.
01:01:41You guys are lucky today.
01:01:43So it's him.
01:01:48Don't worry, Mom.
01:01:50I'll find a way to save you.
01:01:58Please!
01:01:59I need to see Mr. Clark!
01:02:01You think just anyone can meet Mr. Clark?
01:02:03Get lost!
01:02:04Hey!
01:02:07I said get out of here, kid!
01:02:24Jesus!
01:02:25Are you trying to get yourself killed?
01:02:26Please!
01:02:27Do you know Mr. Clark?
01:02:28Can you take me?
01:02:29What the hell?
01:02:30Who are you?
01:02:31You think you can just walk up to the richest guy in town?
01:02:33Go away!
01:02:36I'm sorry, sir.
01:02:47Mom, I'm sorry.
01:02:49I still couldn't find him.
01:02:50Please, hang on.
01:02:55Mr. Clark's gone for the day.
01:02:57If you're that desperate, try his house.
01:03:01Don't tell anyone.
01:03:04Thank you, sir!
01:03:11Brianna, I miss you so much.
01:03:18Alexander, Cinda waited all day.
01:03:21You didn't even show your face.
01:03:22I've told you, I won't marry.
01:03:25My heart died with Brianna.
01:03:26Brianna's been gone for years.
01:03:28You really gonna die alone for a ghost?
01:03:30Yes.
01:03:31In this life, she's the only one I'll ever marry.
01:03:34Alexander, enough!
01:03:35This ends now!
01:03:38It's okay, Mr. Clark.
01:03:40If he doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave.
01:03:42No, Cinda.
01:03:43You're staying.
01:03:44I don't care how stubborn he is.
01:03:46I'll make him marry.
01:03:59Then I'm done with this house.
01:04:01With all of it.
01:04:05Fine!
01:04:05Walk out and don't come back!
01:04:08Please, don't be upset, Mr. Clark.
01:04:11He just needs time.
01:04:12One day, he'll realize Brianna's not coming back.
01:04:17Their wedding ring.
01:04:19Get rid of it.
01:04:20It's the only way he'll move on.
01:04:22Go on.
01:04:23Throw it as far away as you can.
01:04:29Yes, sir.
01:04:31He's awful.
01:04:32But Mom needs that medicine.
01:04:34If I just beg hard enough, maybe he'll help us.
01:04:48Sir, there's a kid outside asking for Mr. Alexander.
01:04:51Kid, in this rain, bring him in, now.
01:05:06Grab a towel.
01:05:07Quickly, he'll catch cold.
01:05:13Who are you?
01:05:14Why are you looking for Alexander?
01:05:16I need medicine.
01:05:18For my mom.
01:05:19She'll die without it.
01:05:24Your mom.
01:05:25What's her name?
01:05:29Her name is...
01:05:30Hey!
01:05:36Sir, here's the towel.
01:05:43He looks just like Alexander did.
01:05:47Thanks, but my mom's running out of time.
01:05:53Kid, wait!
01:05:54Nate, did you see that kid?
01:05:56He 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.
01:06:07If he really is Alexander's son, we have to bring him back at once.
01:06:11I'm leaving all my fortune to him.
01:06:18I miss you so much.
01:06:20I miss you so much.
01:06:29The ring.
01:06:30Where is it?
01:06:33Sir.
01:06:33Our wedding ring, it's gone!
01:06:35Everyone here knows how much it means to you.
01:06:37No one would touch it.
01:06:38It's all I have left of Brianna.
01:06:40It can't just vanish.
01:06:41Put out a reward.
01:06:42Anyone who finds it gets whatever they want.
01:06:45Right away, sir.
01:06:50Massive reward for return of Alexander Clark's wedding ring.
01:06:59That ring!
01:07:00That's the one mom always wears.
01:07:02She's always so protective of it.
01:07:04But now, she needs that medicine more.
01:07:07Maybe I can trade mom's ring to get the medicine from him.
01:07:11Mom, I have to do this for your illness.
01:07:15I hope you can forgive me.
01:07:21Sir!
01:07:22The ring!
01:07:23It's been found!
01:07:26Where is it?
01:07:27A kid found it.
01:07:28He's waiting at the Clark's hospital.
01:07:30Let's go!
01:07:31Now!
01:07:45Mr. Alexander!
01:07:50You again?
01:07:53Is this the ring you're looking for?
01:08:00Sir!
01:08:01That's your missing ring!
01:08:02This little thief stole it!
01:08:04I didn't steal it!
01:08:05I found it!
01:08:06Cut the crap!
01:08:07The boss's ring was kept safely in the drawer.
01:08:09There's no way you just happened to find it.
01:08:11I could tell from the start you two were trouble.
01:08:13Turns out you're not just con artists putting on an act for money.
01:08:16You're thieves too.
01:08:17It was my mom's!
