00:04Happy birthday, Mia!
00:09Snap it to the group.
00:10Look at this beggar's outfit.
00:12She's ruining the vibe of Mia's party.
00:13She's just a servant's kid.
00:15She's lucky they even let her into boss tables.
00:17I'm not a servant.
00:18This is my home.
00:20My mom's the real lady here.
00:23Keep dreaming.
00:24I am the real Vanguard Andress.
00:25Know your place and clean it up.
00:28Ma'am?
00:30Ms. Vanguard?
00:32My daughter.
00:33Chloe, where is she?
00:35It's been three years, ma'am.
00:36You're awake, thank God.
00:38And tonight's Chloe's 10th birthday.
00:41My baby.
00:4210 years old already.
00:44And I missed all of it.
00:46That child that's not Chloe.
00:48And that woman, Evelyn, my former assistant.
00:52My baby.
00:53Why is no one looking after her?
00:55Can't you see my glass is almost empty?
00:57You dare keep the lady of Vanguard waiting?
01:00Didn't you hear my mom?
01:01You pour it!
01:02So slow.
01:03Clumsy little trash.
01:05For three years, this is what my baby went through.
01:09Every last one who hurt her.
01:11Not one of them walks away clean.
01:18I keep having the same nightmare.
01:20That woman sitting straight up in her hospital bed.
01:24Three years now.
01:25Doctors say she may never wake up again.
01:26But what if...
01:27If she wakes up, this penthouse, this whole life, we hand it right back.
01:30Relax.
01:31I've gutted Vanguard from the inside out these past three years.
01:33The only hurdle left is her grandfather.
01:34That damn old Vanguard rigged the trust.
01:36If she dies but Chloe turns 18, every penny goes to charity and we don't see a dime.
01:39So we can't let her die.
01:40We keep her breathing until we re-rate the Ben Defensive Fishery Clause.
01:47Three years, Evelyn passed her own kid off as your heir.
01:55How dare they?
01:57That's my daughter.
01:58My whole world.
02:01Prep my Gulfstream.
02:02I fly back to New York tonight.
02:03Ma'am, one more thing.
02:04I intercepted Arthur's email.
02:06He's building a report mentally incapacitated to strip your control of the trust in court.
02:11Mentally incapacitated?
02:12Then let him think it.
02:19Ma'am, I'll brief you in the car.
02:21Just brace yourself.
02:27Martha killed the penthouse security.
02:28She's Evelyn's mother.
02:29And Arthur locked your parents at the Hamptons for three years, calling it medical isolation.
02:33And Mia came in as a study companion, took everything of Chloe's.
02:36My parents.
02:37My daughter.
02:38They've got some nerve.
02:39Where is my grandfather?
02:40Arthur's played his part too perfectly these three years.
02:42He built this image of the devoted husband, praying for you in church every day.
02:46Old Mr. Vanguard is resting in Europe, completely fooled by his loyalty.
02:49Devoted?
02:50Let him keep acting.
02:51The higher he climbs, the harder he'll fall when I rip that mask right off his face.
02:54Arthur, you swore you'd guard the Vanguard entire with your life.
02:57So I'll make you watch it become the grave I bury you in.
03:01Arthur thinks he can steal Vanguard with his cheap little tricks?
03:04Let me show him what betraying me really costs.
03:08Hold on, baby.
03:09Mommy's home now, and no one lays a finger on you again.
03:15This building answers to me, top to bottom.
03:18Drinks at my private club up top tonight?
03:28Haven't seen you around, gorgeous.
03:30First time at Vanguard?
03:31How about a personal tour?
03:43Victoria?
03:46You, how are you?
03:47God, you're awake.
03:49Three years I prayed at your bedside.
03:50You have no idea how I missed you.
03:52La Labo.
03:53Two berets.
03:54Only one woman in Manhattan wears it.
03:57Evelyn.
04:03The family heirloom I left for my daughter.
04:06How does it end up on some servant's child?
04:22Victoria, have you lost it?
04:25Those are custom-
04:26Custom?
04:27With my Vanguard money.
04:28Three years I broke my back for this company.
04:30Went gray.
04:30And Mia just marfed his granddaughter sharing toys with Chloe.
04:32Share toys?
04:33She's wearing my daughter's crown, dressed in my daughter's couture.
04:35Enjoying the 10th birthday gala that was meant for my daughter, and my own flesh and blood
04:38is serving her like a lowerly maid and taking it all back.
04:45Emergency board meeting?
04:47Major trust amendment?
04:49She's moving on the trust?
04:52Do not return to the penthouse.
04:54Victoria's awake.
04:54You need to keep a low profile for a couple of days.
04:57Why?
04:57If she takes it all back, three years of work for nothing, I'll have nothing left.
05:00What are you afraid of?
05:01I hold the core proxy rights in the dirt on the old shaler.
05:03Plus, I'll get the doctor to fake a severe brain damage report.
05:05That'll completely discredit her.
05:06She won't be able to explain anything away.
05:08Anyway, don't worry.
05:09Once we ride out this little storm, Vanguard is completely ours.
05:16Chloe, baby.
05:17It's mommy.
05:19Mommy's home.
05:21Mommy, they said you didn't want me anymore.
05:33Sweetheart, how did this happen?
05:36I fell.
05:38By myself.
05:39It's nobody's fault.
05:49Chloe, time for your lessons.
05:51Come.
05:52Take your hand back.
05:55As of now, in this house, you're nothing.
05:59Victoria, you just got back.
06:00Don't get worked up.
06:01Chloe's got a teacher meeting at prep school tomorrow.
06:04Perfect.
06:04Tomorrow, I'll take my heir to school myself.
06:09Three years ago, her hair was thick and shining.
06:13Now it comes out in fistfuls.
06:17Your hair's a little dry, sweetheart.
06:20Mom, I'll make you something good tomorrow.
06:21Chloe, who would you like to take you to school tomorrow?
06:25I, I want dad to take me.
06:35Mom, mommy, I can't.
06:39Chloe!
06:45Stay back.
06:47Tonight, Chloe sleeps in the master bedroom.
06:49With me.
06:58No, don't go up.
07:04Daddy, where's mommy?
07:06Why isn't she home with me tonight?
07:10Daddy?
07:11Mommy?
07:13Mia!
07:15Watch your mouth!
07:16I'm your godfather, godfather!
07:25It's okay, baby.
07:26Mommy will take you to your own room.
07:33I, I sleep here.
07:36I sleep here.
07:36I, I sleep here.
07:52My daughter's sweet.
07:54Who's sleeping in it right now?
08:00Mommy, that's Mia's room.
08:03We're not allowed in.
08:05This was always your room.
08:11Ma'am, it's a misunderstanding.
08:13Chloe's got such a kind heart.
08:15She offered to swap rooms, wanted to see how ordinary kids live.
08:18Save the lies.
08:20A ten-year-old giving up her suite to sleep in a windowless closet?
08:24Either you think my brain's broken, or you take me for a fool.
08:29Pity, I'm neither.
08:32This is my room!
08:33You outsiders, who do you think you are?
08:37By eight tomorrow morning, everything that isn't my daughter's, cleared out.
08:42Or security feeds this junk, and your contract, into the shredder.
08:54Everything they took from you, I'll get it back.
08:57Peace, by peace.
09:02Pick it up.
09:04Every piece.
09:05Who do you think you are?
09:07No place for you here.
09:09Finish it, then maybe you eat.
09:16There's a worse one.
09:17Mia's birthday.
09:18The ballroom blind spot caught by the hallway cam.
09:24Here.
09:25Table scraps.
09:26Perfect for a stray like you.
09:28Your mommy's never waking up.
09:30Gave you up long ago.
09:32Anyone asks, you're the help.
09:34One wrong word.
09:36Straight to the orphanage.
09:47Sarah, move everything up now.
09:49Ma'am, some pieces aren't in place yet.
09:51I want them ruined in front of all of New York's elite.
09:53Not one walks out with their dignity.
10:07Mr. Arthur!
10:08Is it true?
10:09You and Miss Evelyn having an affair?
10:11Word is you drained Blangard dry in three years.
10:20Back off!
10:22Whoever started this, I'll sue you into the ground!
10:27Ma'am, the bait's taken.
10:29Every last one of New York's nastiest papagrazi.
10:35Mia, Chloe, come with Auntie.
10:38No need to see this mess.
10:46Evelyn scooped up both kids on camera.
10:49This footage, we can use it.
10:53The show's begun.
10:55Sarah, head to the school.
11:01Please welcome Evelyn, CEO of Vanguard, her elite parenting secrets.
11:07She's a fraud!
11:08My mom is the real head of Vanguard!
11:12Poor thing.
11:13Since her mother's coma, she's not been right in the head.
11:16This child.
11:17Perhaps the school should arrange proper psychiatric care.
11:28I'd love to know, who here dares lay a hand on my heir?
11:33Every word my daughter said is true.
11:36There's nothing wrong with her.
11:38What's sick
11:39is a room full of people who call black white.
11:49Victoria, darling.
11:51Fresh out of the clinic, so frail.
11:54All this excitement, bad for your condition.
12:01Get out!
12:03There's no place for you here!
12:14Can't raise your own kid?
12:16Then don't blame me for teaching the lesson.
12:20Evelyn, you really think slipping into my couture makes you me?
12:33Old money isn't something you swipe a card for at Bergdorf Gadman.
12:41It's fine.
12:42I won't argue with a sick woman.
12:45But,
12:46a scene this serious.
12:49Shouldn't the school handle it?
12:50Principal Sterling,
12:51to the auditorium.
12:52A woman claiming to be Victoria barged in with bodyguards.
12:55She's got Mrs. Evelyn cornered.
12:56I don't care how she treats me,
12:58but that child,
12:58so unstable,
13:00in this state,
13:00she really shouldn't stay at this school.
13:02Exactly!
13:03Barging in with bodyguards!
13:04People like her should be punished!
13:06Punish me?
13:09The one who truly runs this academy
13:10is the board chairwoman, Madam Eleanor.
13:13Not some hired headmaster.
13:19Madam Eleanor?
13:20She stepped down ages ago,
13:22hasn't run a thing in years.
13:25One bad illness,
13:26and her head's gone soft.
13:34Mrs. Evelyn,
13:35you poor thing.
13:36Who dares offend the honored guest of Vanguard?
13:39You?
13:40Storming my school with bodyguards?
13:42You're a fraud playing dress-up.
13:44Leave now,
13:45or I'll have NYPD
13:46haul you off as a lunatic!
13:48I believe you'll recognize this.
13:52This old thing?
13:54Madam Eleanor's card.
13:56An ancient version
13:57from years back.
13:59Madam Eleanor
13:59stepped down long ago.
14:01She's off in Europe.
14:02She'll never come running for a fraud like you.
14:15Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
14:18See?
14:19No answer!
14:20A nobody like her
14:21has no one to call!
14:26What's wrong, darling?
14:28You're all-powerful backer.
14:30Did she drop dead
14:31over in Europe?
14:42Give it to Madam Eleanor.
14:44Tell her
14:44Victoria is back.
14:52Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
14:54All bark
14:55leaves a threat and runs,
14:57and here I thought
14:57she had something.
14:59Just a lunatic
15:00who can't even
15:00get a call through.
15:01Principal,
15:02let's carry on.
15:08What is it?
15:08Can't you see I'm busy?
15:09Sterling!
15:10Madam Eleanor!
15:11Her private chopper
15:13just touched down
15:14on the roof!
15:18Madam Eleanor?
15:19Isn't she in Europe?
15:21Why is she back?
15:21I don't know!
15:22The second she walked in,
15:23her face went ice cold.
15:24I've never seen her
15:25this furious.
15:27It must be some slip-up
15:28at the Academy.
15:29I need to see her now.
15:37You're fired.
15:38And every private school
15:39on the East Cust
15:40will know
15:41who you threw out today.
15:44Madam Eleanor!
15:46Everything's in order.
15:47I just threw out
15:48some lunatic
15:48waving your old card around.
15:51The card.
15:52Give it to me.
16:02There is only one person
16:04in this world
16:05who carries this card.
16:06And you threw her out
16:07like some lunatorque?
16:09But she called herself
16:10Victoria.
16:11How was I to know?
16:14Take his badge.
16:16As of now,
16:17Vanguard's annual endowment
16:18to this school,
16:19tens of millions,
16:20is frozen.
16:22You're fired.
16:23And every private school
16:25on the East Cust
16:25will know
16:26who you threw out today.
16:30Victoria,
16:31welcome home.
16:34Osterite.
16:35The ones who crossed you.
16:36I've dealt with the first.
16:39Thank you, Eleanor.
16:40This war has only just begun.
17:00Martha,
17:01after all these years,
17:02I'd like to write you a check,
17:03a million,
17:04to retire in comfort.
17:05How's that?
17:06My leaving is nothing.
17:08But what about Chloe?
17:10Ma'am,
17:10you're so frail.
17:12One day you might need
17:13rest again.
17:13Who'll look after her then?
17:15Mommy,
17:16can Martha stay,
17:17please?
17:21All right, sweetheart.
17:23Whatever you want,
17:24Martha stays.
17:31Martha's setting up someone
17:32to steal a bloodline.
17:34I'll have her cards
17:36before she plays them.
17:56Talk.
17:57Darling,
17:57how are you feeling?
17:58Want me to come home
17:59and keep you company?
18:00No need.
18:00Go tend to your business.
18:06Arthur just called.
18:07Playing house.
18:08Pull up Evelyn's location.
18:09Her signal's inside the penthouse.
18:11Arthur's private study.
18:13Pull the penthouse feed.
18:14Show me the study.
18:16Ma'am,
18:17problem.
18:17The master bedroom
18:18and study feeds
18:19are looping fake footage.
18:20Someone tampered with it.
18:23Martha killed the security.
18:25They rigged the cameras.
18:27In my own home,
18:28they think they can fool me.
18:31If they want to play
18:32cat and mouse,
18:33then we upgraded
18:34every inch of that penthouse.
18:35Understood.
18:36I'll arrange it tonight.
18:54This, uh,
18:55got bitten by a bug
18:57in the garden.
18:57Is that so?
18:58That bug
18:59has quite the appetite.
19:03The chandelier's wiring
19:04is acting up.
19:05Gentlemen,
19:06go over the entire penthouse,
19:07top to bottom.
19:10No need for all this.
19:11I'll get someone to check.
19:19A Wall Street client
19:20just called.
19:21I have to run.
19:29Ma'am,
19:29more from Martha's phone.
19:30She's not just moving money,
19:31she's forging family documents.
19:33The worst,
19:34a forged secret trust amendment
19:35made to look signed
19:36by old Mr. Vanguard himself.
19:38Let them perform
19:38nice and comfortable.
19:51who does she think she is?
19:52A vegetable
19:53who slept three years?
19:54How dare she
19:55back me into a corner?
20:01Arthur, what now?
20:02If she throws us out
20:03at the board meeting,
20:04we're left with nothing.
20:09We strike first.
20:11Before she's fully back
20:12on her feet,
20:13we buy up every fence
20:14sitting director's votes.
20:16And don't forget,
20:18I've got her brain damage
20:20report right here.
20:21Her power play won't last.
20:28Ma'am,
20:28they're moving to buy up
20:29the director's votes.
20:36Initiate Scorched Earth.
20:39Get the word out.
20:40Anyone on Wall Street
20:41who takes their check
20:42is at war with all
20:43of Vanguard.
20:44With me.
20:46I'll make their checks
20:47worth less than toilet paper
20:48across all of Wall Street.
20:56Just cast your Vanguard
20:57shares my way
20:58and that number,
21:00you fill in the plank.
21:05Arthur,
21:05I don't dare touch
21:06your money.
21:07Take it
21:08and I might not live
21:09to spend it.
21:23Ma'am,
21:24we've quietly plugged
21:24every director's
21:25financial hole.
21:26They owe Vanguard
21:26far more than Arthur
21:27could offer.
21:28They answer only
21:29to you now.
21:34Mr. Arthur,
21:35you're no longer
21:36an employee here.
21:37Please leave.
21:40Who is it?
21:41Who is doing this
21:42to me behind my back?
21:58Mr. Hayes,
22:00just give me
22:01that one crucial vote.
22:0230% over market,
22:03no, 50.
22:04And the VP seat
22:06at Vanguard
22:06is yours.
22:14Put your little
22:15scrape of paper away.
22:16The true queen
22:17of Vanguard
22:17is back.
22:19And you two clowns,
22:20worthless checks,
22:21you're not fit
22:22to shine her shoes.
22:30How?
22:32She's a sickly woman
22:33fresh out of a coma.
22:34How does she have
22:35all of Wall Street
22:36in her pocket?
22:43No, it's not over.
22:46I can't take Wall Street,
22:48but I still have
22:49one card left.
22:50Chloe,
22:51I don't buy it.
22:52Victoria adores her.
22:53She'd have left
22:54another card in play.
23:06That's my car.
23:07What gives you
23:08the right to tow it?
23:10Sir,
23:10all credit lines
23:11under your name
23:11are frozen.
23:12Here's the court order.
23:22Evelyn, look.
23:23Three years ago
23:24before her coma,
23:26Victoria moved
23:2620% of the trust
23:28irrevotable voting rights
23:29to Chloe's name.
23:32A 10-year-old
23:33holding votes
23:34that could move
23:34the entire empire?
23:37That girl's
23:38starving for love.
23:39Half out of her mind
23:40for it.
23:40You just play
23:41the good father
23:42for a few days.
23:43Then get her
23:44on camera saying,
23:45Mommy can't manage
23:46the trust.
23:46I want my stepfather
23:47to handle it.
23:48Pair it with
23:48the brain damage report.
23:50Take it to court.
23:52Her custody,
23:53that 20%,
23:54all yours.
23:55You're right.
23:56I can't outskane
23:57Victoria against
23:58Wall Street's foxes.
24:00But against one
24:01love-starp little girl?
24:03Child's play.
24:12Chloe,
24:13look what Daddy
24:14got you.
24:15That limited edition
24:16set you love,
24:17Daddy searched
24:18the whole city for it.
24:24What's wrong?
24:26Don't like them?
24:27Daddy was too busy
24:28before.
24:30From now on,
24:31Daddy's here
24:31every day.
24:32Okay?
24:41No,
24:42it's okay.
24:59Arthur's playing
25:00devoted dad now.
25:04Defusing it
25:04in his cuts
25:05or downly.
25:07Want me to
25:07shut him down now?
25:08No,
25:09let him perform.
25:10I want to know
25:11exactly what kind
25:12of poison he's hiding
25:13and every gift
25:13he brings my daughter.
25:19Chloe!
25:20Daddy cleared
25:21his whole day
25:22just for you.
25:23Come on,
25:23I'm taking you somewhere.
25:24You're gonna love it.
25:29You've always wanted
25:30a real piano, right?
25:31Today,
25:31Daddy wins it.
25:32For you.
25:36Daddy,
25:38are you
25:38starting to like me now?
25:40No.
25:43Ma'am,
25:43Arthur didn't take
25:44Chloe home.
25:45He's got her
25:45at Softie's
25:46bidding on
25:47an antique piano.
25:48He can't even
25:48remember how old
25:49she is,
25:49but he'll drop
25:50millions on a piano?
26:00Trying to use
26:00my daughter
26:01as a bargaining pork?
26:02Arthur,
26:02you're not even close.
26:14who said
26:15you could touch it?
26:16This piano is mine!
26:17You're a servant,
26:18you don't get to...
26:20Daddy,
26:21you said
26:22it was for me.
26:23It's just a piano,
26:24can't you let
26:25your sister have it?
26:26So spoiled!
26:27Get back to your room!
26:37In my house,
26:40who gave you
26:41the nerve
26:41to scold
26:42the first heir
26:42of Vanguard?
26:50Darling,
26:51you've got it
26:52all wrong.
26:53I was just
26:53teaching the kids
26:54to share.
26:55Oh,
26:56and I got you
26:57a little something.
27:04You put my daughter
27:05through three years
27:06of hell,
27:07and now you crawl
27:07back playing
27:08the doting father.
27:09What are you
27:09really after,
27:10Arthur?
27:11The trust
27:11in her name?
27:12How could you
27:13think that of me?
27:14I'm Chloe's father!
27:15While you were under,
27:16every shark
27:17on Wall Street
27:17wanted Vanguard.
27:18I only brought
27:19Evelyn in
27:20to hold things
27:20together!
27:22I swear!
27:23I threw her
27:23out long ago!
27:24Is that so?
27:25You threw her out?
27:28Of course!
27:29You and this
27:30family,
27:30you're all
27:30I care about!
27:40Drink up,
27:41little thing.
27:42This time,
27:43no one's coming
27:44to save you.
27:46See?
27:47I've blocked her
27:48for good.
27:49From now on,
27:50it's only you
27:50and Chloe.
27:51No one else.
27:53Chloe,
27:53I made this soup
27:54just for you.
27:55Drink it while
27:55it's hot.
27:57Let me have
27:58the first taste
27:58of Martha's
28:00cooking.
28:09Martha,
28:10were you trying
28:11to send my daughter
28:12into anaphylactic shock?
28:13Dead right here
28:14at this table.
28:22What are you doing?
28:23I just served soup!
28:25You've got no right!
28:26Victoria,
28:27Martha's old.
28:28Her memory's slipping.
28:29She probably just
28:29mixed up the ingredients.
28:30It's one bowl of soup.
28:31Don't overreact.
28:38You don't mix up
28:40ingredients
28:40and land exactly
28:41on my daughter's allergies.
28:42This wasn't a mistake.
28:44It was poison.
28:47I'm reporting
28:48the deliberate harm
28:49of a minor.
28:49I have full surveillance evidence.
28:51Address the vanguard
28:52penthouse Manhattan.
28:58This house
28:59has too much filth in it.
29:02Starting today,
29:03I'll clear it all out.
29:04One piece at a time.
29:11Chloe, look.
29:12Your favorite macaroon.
29:14Daddy signed you up
29:15for an Ivy League summer camp.
29:17Just one thing.
29:19Camp wants to know
29:19each kid's home life,
29:21so we film a short video.
29:23Daddy asks,
29:24you answer.
29:25Since Mommy came back,
29:26she's always in meetings,
29:27on the phone,
29:28barely any time for you, right?
29:30Yeah.
29:30Mommy is really busy.
29:32And she's not well.
29:33All these family matters,
29:34all that money on her alone.
29:35Exhausting, isn't it?
29:36Mommy does look tired.
29:38I don't want her to get sick.
29:39So wouldn't it be nice
29:41if someone helped her
29:42so she could rest?
29:43Someone like...
29:45Daddy Arthur?
29:46Yeah.
29:47I want Daddy Arthur
29:48to help Mommy
29:49so she won't be so tired.
29:52Good girl.
29:53Disney this weekend,
29:53I promise.
29:57He thinks he stole the key
29:58to the trust.
29:59He has no idea.
30:00I set that key
30:01right in front of him.
30:03The prey's taking the bait.
30:05Is the blade ready to fall?
30:11Done.
30:12The girl said it herself.
30:14She wants him to help Mommy.
30:16And this,
30:18the mentally incapacitated report
30:20I paid a swatch for.
30:21The video plus the report.
30:23One trip to court
30:24and we get custody.
30:25The 20%!
30:26All of it!
30:26Vanguard is ours!
30:34Ma'am,
30:35that forged report
30:36plus Chloe's video.
30:37If he files it in court,
30:38it could get messy.
30:39Messy?
30:41He just handed me the knife.
30:42A certification
30:43from three top neurologists
30:45plus every record
30:46of him bribing that doctor
30:47to forge his report.
30:48That trump card he treasures,
30:50by mourning,
30:51it's the evidence
30:51that sends him to prison.
30:58This was for my competition.
31:00A whole week's work.
31:03Chloe Arthur,
31:04why would you smash it?
31:06Daddy,
31:07Mia Manier
31:08broke my model.
31:10It's just a stupid model.
31:12Mia's a guest,
31:13can't you give in?
31:14Crying all the time,
31:15that's exactly why
31:15nobody likes you.
31:19Since when does
31:20my daughter
31:21step aside
31:22for an outsider?
31:24Didn't you swear
31:25you threw Evelyn out
31:26long ago?
31:26Worthless paper!
31:27I'm the man of this house!
31:29I'm not going anywhere!
31:30As for you,
31:31one hour.
31:33Pack your things
31:34and get out.
31:37my heart.
31:3830 years I slaved
31:40for this family.
31:41Back one minute
31:41and you want me gone?
31:43You're trying to kill me!
31:45Victoria,
31:45I've filed for a temporary
31:46restraining order
31:47until the court rules
31:48I have every right to stay.
31:49You can't force me out!
31:50Fresh out of a coma,
31:52turning on the husband
31:53who stood by you,
31:54the housekeeper
31:55who served you for years,
31:56they'll call you
31:57a heartless witch.
32:09You want to talk to me
32:11about loyalty?
32:12Fine.
32:13Let's talk
32:14about how the two of you
32:16turned my home
32:17into a sewer.
32:31Victoria,
32:32quit fooling yourself.
32:33This house,
32:33this empire,
32:34the real owner
32:35has always been me.
32:38Miss Thorne holds
32:39Miss Chloe's
32:40declaration of preference
32:41along with Mr. Arthur's
32:43ending petition for custody.
32:49Strip me,
32:50toss me out of Manhattan,
32:51by all means.
32:53Then I'll see you tomorrow
32:55at Vanguard's border.
32:58Let's find out
32:59who really gets thrown
33:00out that door tomorrow.
33:11Everyone,
33:12as of today,
33:13Miss Evelyn takes over
33:14as Vanguard's new CEO.
33:16I trust you'll all
33:16lend your support.
33:19Well then,
33:20I now call this meeting
33:21to...
33:29Comfortable up there?
33:30You're too late,
33:31Victoria.
33:32This seat is mine now.
33:33As long as I'm breathing,
33:35this chairman's seat
33:36doesn't go to some mistress
33:37who clawed her way up
33:39by climbing into
33:39my husband's bed.
33:45Get up.
33:49Don't celebrate just yet.
33:51Show her.
33:51Members of the board,
33:52following a professional
33:53evaluation by top
33:54medical experts,
33:55it is confirmed
33:55that while Miss Victoria
33:56has awakened,
33:57her prolonged coma
33:57has resulted in irreversible
33:59permanent mental incapacity.
34:01Arthur's about to be
34:01her legal guardian.
34:02That 20% is his.
34:03This seat is ours.
34:05First,
34:06three top neurologists
34:07certify Miss Vanguard
34:09is a perfectly sound mind,
34:10fully competent.
34:11Second,
34:12every record of Mr. Arthur
34:13bribing that doctor
34:14to forge his report.
34:15That's federal forgery.
34:17Third,
34:17a poison bilk
34:18bill clause
34:19old Mr. Ventura
34:20buried in the trust.
34:21The instant
34:22any authorized
34:23custody petition
34:24is filed.
34:24It freezes every asset
34:26tied to the applicant
34:27and exposes every trail
34:29of their laundered money.
34:33You!
34:34You!
34:35Bitch!
34:36You dragged me down
34:38into this!
34:39You're not!
34:43It was her!
34:45Three years ago,
34:45that crash was no accident.
34:47Evelyn paid someone
34:48to cut Victoria's brake lines.
34:50You think you're clean?
34:52He laundered tens of millions
34:54through shell companies
34:55into his own offshore account.
34:57That brat in the way.
34:59Find the most remote orphanage,
35:01change her name,
35:01send her in,
35:02cover the paperwork clean.
35:04She'll never walk out again.
35:05No one will remember
35:06she existed.
35:07What you owe her,
35:09what you owe me,
35:11you'll pay it all back
35:12in prison.
35:16Arthur, Evelyn,
35:17you're under arrest
35:18for money lumbering,
35:19trust fraud,
35:20forgery of federal documents,
35:22and attempted murder.
35:22You have the right
35:23to remain silent.
35:25Stop!
35:26You can't take her!
35:27Evelyn,
35:28she is old Mr. Vanguard's
35:30true bloodline!
35:35This is old Mr. Vanguard
35:37secret trust amendment
35:38signed by his own hand.
35:40Evelyn is his illegitimate daughter,
35:42the true bloodline,
35:43the rightful heir.
35:44You hear that?
35:45I am the real Vanguard.
35:46All of this was always
35:47meant to be mine!
35:55First,
35:56a federal handwriting report.
35:57My grandfather's signature
35:58on this amendment
35:59is a forgery.
36:00Another count of federal forgery.
36:02Second,
36:02a DNA test.
36:04Evelyn,
36:04you don't share
36:05a single drop
36:05of Vanguard blood.
36:07You're no secret daughter,
36:08just a con,
36:09trying to steal a nest
36:09that was never yours.
36:10Three years,
36:11forging papers,
36:12moving money,
36:13staging this bastard
36:14daughter fairy tale,
36:15all to steal
36:16from my granddaughter.
36:21Chloe!
36:22Please beg them for me!
36:23You can't just watch me
36:24go to prison!
36:28Chloe,
36:29I raised you
36:29all these years!
36:30I took you to school,
36:32bought you gifts!
36:33Doesn't any of that count?
36:34You were never
36:35my father,
36:36just a criminal,
36:38one who almost
36:39got my mommy killed.
36:47Every dollar
36:48that was stolen,
36:49I will get back.
36:50And in my daughter's name,
36:52I'm founding
36:52the Chloe Vanguard Foundation
36:54to protect every child
36:56who's been hurt,
36:57just like she was.
37:03Mommy,
37:04will you ever
37:05leave me again?
37:07Never.
37:08No matter how fierce

37:10be your lighthouse.
