Short filmTranscript
00:00One phone call changed my life from a nobody to a powerful tycoon.
00:04Last night, Father Klein passed away in his sleep.
00:09Oh no.
00:10But he's left his family fortune to you.
00:12The Porsche family fortune.
00:14Did you say the Porsche family fortune?
00:17Father Klein believes you passed the test.
00:20It's humble of you, and he hopes you will continue to do good with this newfound fortune.
00:24Well, thank you.
00:27And Steven?
00:28Yes?
00:29Be careful who you trust.
00:31You are now one of the wealthiest men in the country.
00:34The time has come to repay all those who humiliated me relentlessly.
00:43Hey!
00:44Watch where you're going! You could have scratched my car!
00:47I doubt some delivery guy like you could afford it.
00:49Larry?
00:52Steve.
00:54Late to the villa, I see.
00:56F***, that's today?
00:58Of course you forgot.
01:00Race you there.
01:07If only people knew who Steven Adams really was, maybe they wouldn't treat him this way.
01:17Hey honey, what's up?
01:19Don't call me honey.
01:21If you don't get to the villa in the next half an hour, I don't bother coming at all.
01:25But no one else knew the truth about Steven's true identity.
01:29And now, he was late.
01:32He was already on thin ice with his wife, Kim.
01:35Her family members were some of the most powerful people in Los Angeles.
01:46That useless husband of yours is still nowhere to be found, huh?
01:49Good luck explaining that to Grandma.
01:52Shut up, Harry.
01:53He's almost here.
02:01He can't be a Cassidy.
02:03Oh, he is. He's the infamous son-in-law.
02:05Oh, the broke one who's contributed nothing to the family?
02:12Don't you do this to yourself, Steven.
02:14To me.
02:16You could have at least put on a clean shirt.
02:19It's like you're trying to be the weirdo.
02:21No, I didn't do this on purpose.
02:23Just forget it. Let's pay our respects.
02:25Talk about a doctor.
02:29Who gave you permission to go in?
02:31Harry, stop. You have no right.
02:33He has no right to enter my family villa dressed like that.
02:35Poor family villa.
02:37Not for long.
02:39Kim knew Harry was right. She was feeling more anxious than before.
02:42Especially after seeing the mocking gazes of people around her.
02:46Move, Harry. For Grandma's sake.
02:49Grandma did say that every member of the Cassidy family had to attend.
02:53But he's an Addams.
02:56Notice this sign.
03:01Kim, why don't you go in and-
03:03Just do whatever you want.
03:07Way to know your place.
03:10I totally see who I really am.
03:18Hello?
03:19Mr. Addams, I have wonderful news and heartbreaking news.
03:23Um, I guess I'll take the heartbreaking first.
03:27Well, sadly, last night, Father Klein passed away in his sleep.
03:32Oh, no.
03:34Sadly, last night, Father Klein passed away in his sleep.
03:38Oh, no.
03:40But he's left his family fortune to you.
03:42The Porsche family fortune.
03:44Did you say the Porsche family fortune?
03:47Father Klein believes you passed the test.
03:49It's humble of you, and he hopes you'll continue to do good with this newfound fortune.
03:54Well, thank you.
03:56And, Stephen?
03:58Yes?
03:59Be careful who you trust.
04:01You are now one of the wealthiest men in the country.
04:12I guess the table's our turn.
04:14Five years ago, Stephen had tried to stand up to his father.
04:17He and his father seemed to have differing codes of morality when it came to running their family business.
04:24But as punishment for speaking up, his father kicked him out.
04:28He almost died living off the streets.
04:30Fortunately, Father Klein, a generous priest, saved his life.
04:35However, the priest had one condition.
04:38Stephen had to live as a poor and powerless man without complaints for three years.
04:44He also had to keep his true identity a secret.
04:47And then he met Kim Cassidy.
04:49Rest in peace, good man.
04:52We must give thanks for how blessed our family has been.
04:58And I hope we shall prosper for years to come.
05:08Grandmother, under your wise leadership, the Cassidy family will rise to new heights.
05:13Harry's a genius.
05:15This year alone, he's increased our family profits significantly.
05:18This year alone, he's increased our family profits significantly.
05:22Smartest man in the city.
05:24Thank you, Harry. But I couldn't have done it alone.
05:27I am grateful to the friends and support we have had all over this great city of ours.
05:33Speaking of which, I'm sure all of you are excited to introduce to me the guests you've invited tonight.
05:39The family couldn't hold in their excitement.
05:41The main event was about to begin.
05:43This was their chance to prove to their family's matriarch, with their esteemed guests,
05:48who amongst them had the best connections in the city.
05:51And whoever impressed their grandmother the most would be given the majority of the assets from the Cassidy Trust Fund.
05:57Grandma, meet the head of...
05:59Boniface.
06:01Thank you for coming.
06:03Grandma, this is Dr. Martens, the top plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.
06:08I hope I never need your services.
06:10You're the only one here who requires no work.
06:15Grandmother, I'd like you to meet my guest.
06:17Meet Pete Rockford, the CEO of Rockford International.
06:22Charmed.
06:24It's a pleasure.
06:26Pete Rockford was the head of the most powerful real estate company in the world.
06:30Isn't it time you introduced your guest?
06:32Is that really how low things have gotten for you and your delivery boy husband?
06:38You couldn't even swing some s*** off, lawyer?
06:42Well, Kim and I actually invited the head of the Stein family, Jack Stein, ladies and gentlemen.
06:50Steve and I go way back.
06:52Kim couldn't believe it. Her husband had brought Jack Stein, one of the most influential businessmen in the state.
06:58But how?
06:59Here is a jade statue as a token of my appreciation.
07:04Harry was skeptical. The Stein family was even more powerful than the Cassidy family.
07:09How could someone like Steven have connections to them?
07:13Come on, Stevo. What hobo did you hire to play the role of Jack today?
07:19What kind of a knockoff statue is this?
07:21Oh, I would be careful with that if I were you, Harry.
07:24It's worth $10 million and we all know how you are with money.
07:27Need I remind you of the Murphy deal?
07:30Harry was shocked. He had never heard Steven talk like this to him before.
07:34Yeah, right. This is obviously fake.
07:42Actually, this is one of a kind.
07:48Very impressive guest, Kim.
07:52Kim wanted to explain that it was all Steven.
07:55Actually, Grandma, it was...
07:56There's no need to explain.
07:59Who was this man? And what had he done with her doormat husband?
08:07I couldn't be more proud of Kim and Harry.
08:12And I was going to save this news for the end of the night, but...
08:15Unfortunately, our family's long-standing success may be coming to an end sooner than we think.
08:24My loves, our family is in crisis.
08:29As you know, we were the majority investor in the Century Garden project.
08:34But due to lack of funding, the project has been halted.
08:37Also halted are any prospects of returns.
08:41The only way to save the family now is by securing a large loan or being gifted a substantial amount.
08:50It is time for a brave soul to step up and help.
09:00You seem to have no trouble speaking up when it comes to dividends.
09:03But when this family needs your help, you are suddenly quiet.
09:06Grandma, relax. Think of your health.
09:13I'll think of a way to solve this.
09:17Actually, didn't Kim prove the value of her connections today?
09:21Harry's right. Kim, this family's always had your back.
09:25Now it's time for you to have ours.
09:27Actually, Grandma, Jack was Steven's friend.
09:31He's the one who brought him.
09:33So, I can't ask for an investment.
09:37It was finally Harry's chance to ruin Kim, so he could be the Cassidy family's only successor.
09:43How could you be so heartless?
09:46This family is not only in crisis, but you won't help us?
09:50And you're lying through your teeth to our dear Grandma?
09:54How could someone like Steven know someone like Jack?
09:59Are you mad at Grandma for not prioritizing your family all these years?
10:02No. It isn't like that.
10:10I have an idea.
10:11Whoever can secure the $50 million needed for the Century Garden project in the next two days
10:17will become the sole successor to the Cassidy family.
10:26What do you think?
10:32Okay.
10:34And one more condition.
10:36Whoever fails will be forced to withdraw from the Cassidy family forever.
10:42Them and their immediate family.
10:46What's wrong?
10:49Scared, little cousin?
10:51We accept.
10:53We accept your bet.
10:55Kim.
10:58Trust me.
11:03That's right.
11:05We accept.
11:06You better not go back on your word.
11:08Don't worry.
11:10I'm not as shameless as you are.
11:17Okay, time to spill. How do you know Jack?
11:20He's a friend's dad. An old friend.
11:24Okay.
11:26But do you think he can help us get a loan?
11:28Uh, no. It's not like that.
11:31Well, then, do you have any connections?
11:35Anyone who runs a bank who can help us get a loan of that size?
11:38Honestly, no.
11:39Then why did you accept the bet?
11:41Because I believe in you.
11:46Okay.
11:52It was time for Steven to put his plan into motion.
11:59Do you have an appointment?
12:00I'm here to see Dave. He knows I'm coming. Jack would have called.
12:17Dave Marks.
12:18Steven Adams.
12:19I'm here to speak with you about a possible investment in the Cassidy family.
12:24Are you the Cassidy family's son-in-law?
12:28I'm sorry. I can't help you.
12:32What do you mean?
12:33You're going to dismiss me without even knowing the term of the deal?
12:36Because I know you.
12:39And you're not worth my time.
12:42Steven was sick of being judged.
12:44Steven was sick of being told he wasn't good enough.
12:47This was the final straw.
12:52I'll give you one chance.
12:55Excuse me?
12:56One chance to apologize to me and invest in the Cassidy group without charging any fees.
13:01And I'll forgive the way you're speaking to me.
13:04If you don't, you'll regret it.
13:08Is this some kind of joke?
13:12I'm not afraid of somebody like you.
13:19I don't care how you do it, but I want global investments to be mine in 10 minutes.
13:25You want to buy a $5 billion company in 10 minutes?
13:32That's a lot.
13:34That's a lot.
13:39Yeah, security.
13:40Can you come up here and remove Steven Adams from my office, please?
13:43Hold on, I'm getting another call.
13:45Hey there, boss.
13:49You...
13:51You sold my company.
13:54For $10 billion.
13:57To who?
13:58To you.
14:02To Steven Adams.
14:04Just had to get rid of some pocket change.
14:09Steven couldn't help but be thrilled at the shock on Dave's face.
14:13He was finally getting the respect he deserved.
14:22Steven.
14:23No.
14:24Mr. Adams.
14:26I'm sorry.
14:28Forgive me.
14:29It's too late now.
14:34Dave.
14:35Frank.
14:36What do you want, boss?
14:37I need you to dig up any dirt on Dave Marks and how he's ruined this company.
14:40You have two days.
14:41This command was worse than a death sentence for Dave.
14:44As CEO of Global Investments, he had committed all kinds of fraud over the years,
14:49and he would surely go to prison when they found out.
14:52What's your name?
14:53Mr. Adams, I'm Keisha.
14:55Keisha Daniels.
14:56Been here for five years.
14:58Loyal, smart, and kind.
15:01Keisha Daniels was surprised.
15:03Who was this handsome, powerful, yet kind man?
15:07Okay.
15:09Starting today, Keisha will be the new CEO of Global Investments,
15:12and you'll all be getting raise.
15:14If anyone causes Keisha any trouble or disagrees with her,
15:17there will be consequences.
15:21Thank you, Mr. Adams.
15:25Everyone can go.
15:26I just need a word with Keisha.
15:37Oh, you're married to Kim Cassidy.
15:40Only the most beautiful woman in the city.
15:42Yes.
15:43And I need you to do something for me.
15:48Steven was proud of what he'd done.
15:50Now, he just needed to convince Kim he was worthy of her.
15:54Hi, Kim.
15:55Hi.
15:56What are you doing?
15:57I'm just on my way to the bank to try to get a loan.
15:59Better to at least say I tried before I lose my family and fortune to Harry.
16:03I'm not going to let you lose to Harry.
16:04Let's go.
16:05I know somewhere you can secure a big loan.
16:16Seriously, Steven?
16:18Global Investments?
16:20You really think we can negotiate a deal with them?
16:22I already talked to Jack.
16:23He got you an appointment with the CEO.
16:24You just have to go in.
16:26I'll wait out here for you.
16:30Fine.
16:32I'll go in.
16:48Hello.
16:49Are you Mrs. Cassidy?
16:50Yes.
16:51Please follow me.
16:52The CEO's been looking forward to your arrival.
16:56Will Steven's plan succeed?
16:58Will Kim be able to secure her place in the Cassidy family forever?
17:02Or will it all come crashing down around her?
