00:00Alex are you gonna say hi? Hey. What's with the attitude?
00:05Just because everyone thinks you're trash doesn't mean you have to act like it. Trash? I heard about
00:10your money problems. Can't even pay rent and Kathy's birthday is coming up. What are you gonna
00:18do? All thanks to you. Look, daddy's men were just doing what they were told. The offer's still open.
00:25The job. You won't have to be a broke a** anymore. Plus if you work for us nobody will bother you
00:32for rent. What do you think? Fine. Okay. Smart decision Alex. So when are you breaking up with
00:41Kathy? I genuinely love Kathy. I'm not breaking up with her. There's no way. Is there any way
00:48we can make this work without the breakout? Absolutely not. Either forget Kathy or forget
00:53the job. No jobs good enough to break up with Kathy. Why is there a homeless kid in our study
01:00group? You know me, Rose. I'm in this class too. I don't know who you are but you're f***ed.
01:10I feel really uncomfortable with you here. Please get away from me. Okay?
01:18Okay everybody. Everybody settle down. Settle down. I'd like us all to send congratulations to
01:25Alex Ambrose. Winner of this year's math competition. Stand up Alex.
01:32Casting out awards to janitors? It's like that movie where the janitor is secretly a math genius.
01:39Except this freak is no Matt Damon.
01:51Thanks for helping me with the chemistry homework Alex. Sure. No problem. You're so smart. I don't
01:57know how you remember everything. Hey would you want to go to the movies with me tonight?
02:03Alex how about trying on the sweater I bought you from Stacks with Adam?
02:15It's really nice.
02:18Thank you. That's too expensive for me. Don't be silly. Just try it on for me Alex.
02:28You'd be so handsome if you just let me clean you up a little.
02:35I know I'm not the coolest or most fashionable but I like modesty and simple living.
02:45And I thought that's what you liked about me.
02:48Let's go out to eat. I'll buy but I don't know how much longer I can keep paying for us.
03:06Hey you loser. Guys stop being so mean. Alex don't listen to them. I actually wanted to talk to you.
03:15Look we all know that you barely make any money so I was thinking you should apply for a job at
03:23my father's company. I can get you into one of his offices. The Brennan Empire. Multi-billion
03:30dollar corp. You've heard of us I'm sure. I don't get it. I thought you guys hated me. Why are you
03:36offering me a job? Don't be silly. The guys joke around with everyone and you're really smart.
03:43I'm sure there's a place for someone like you in one of my dad's many companies.
03:48Okay yeah sure I'm interested. Awesome. It's just there's one condition. And what would that be?
03:57I want you to break up with Kathy. Why would I do that? Why would you even want me to do that?
04:02It's simple Alex. You're just low class and Kathy's one of us. She deserves to be with someone in high
04:09society. Like well like Billy. But not a low life like you. You know what? Screw you Rose.
04:19I love Kathy. You can't buy me. Good one. You are too funny Rose. He turned me down.
04:30Yeah what's wrong? I mean I was never gonna give him the job anyway. I just
04:35wanted to have some fun watching him try and then he just...
04:42You know that building that he lives in? It's owned by my father.
04:47He'll learn what it costs to reject an offer from the Brennans.
04:54Excuse me. You guys can't just come in here. Who are you? It doesn't matter who we are.
05:01What matters is your rent was due on the 1st. Today's the 5th. Plus you owe last month's rent
05:07also. We need your money. I promise. What promises Alex? You have money to take your girlfriend out
05:14but you don't pay your rent? The Brennans don't like not getting paid. Guys throw him out.
05:20Oh hold on hold on. So Rose's dad owns this building huh? Yeah I should have known. The
05:25Brennans always seem to take advantage of people down on their luck. What's the scum? Guys pin
05:30him. Get the hell off me.
05:42Saving for a rainy day huh? I'll take this. Hardly enough to cover the rent but it's a start. No please it's
05:49tips from deliveries. I'm saving up to buy my girlfriend a gift. Just leave it please. I'll pay
05:54up as soon as possible. A gift for your girlfriend. I'm definitely keeping this then. You know Alex why don't
06:01you just leave this place huh? You can't afford this place Alex. I grew up here with my mom.
06:13This place reminds me of her. It's the only thing I have left of her and her memories.
06:18Too bad. You're behind in your rent. It's time you left. The Brennans like their money and you're
06:24not paying. I'll pay you whatever new price you're going to charge a tenant. Just give me
06:28back that money now. All right guys he's had enough but I'm keeping this cash. Let's go.
06:34Alex are you gonna say hi? Hey. What's with the attitude? Just because everyone thinks you're
06:48trash doesn't mean you have to act like it. Trash? I heard about your money problems.
06:53You can't even pay rent and Kathy's birthday is coming up. What are you gonna do? All thanks to
07:00you. Look daddy's men were just doing what they were told. The offer's still open. The job. You
07:08won't have to be a broke a** anymore. Plus if you work for us nobody will bother you for rent.
07:15What do you think? Fine. Okay. Smart decision Alex. So when are you breaking up with Kathy?
07:23I genuinely love Kathy. I'm not breaking up with her. There's no way. Is there any way we can make
07:30this work without the breakup? Absolutely not. Either forget Kathy or forget the job. No job's
07:36good enough to break up with Kathy. Especially not one with your trash family. Alex listen up. Hey
07:43what's going on guys? Just talking to your boyfriend here. What do you even see in a
07:48loser like him? Loser? Watch what you say Rose. Oh give up the joke. How long are you gonna be
07:54a sugar mommy for this piece of trash? Just because your father is rich doesn't mean you
07:58get to treat people like they're nothing. Oh honey. Alex is nothing. Ask him. He doesn't have a
08:06single penny on him and he's two months behind on rent. My father owns the building that he stays in.
08:13He'll be out on the streets in no time. Enjoy the rest of your life with a loser.
08:19Listen. I don't think you should come inside. Oh okay. Why? I think we should break up.
08:34I'm not happy anymore and I'm tired of everyone making fun of me for being with you.
08:40Since when do you care what other people think about? You can be me.
08:44It's not just that Alex. It's the money. I'm sick and tired of paying for everything all the time.
08:50You don't even try to chip in anymore. This is not the life that I had imagined with my boyfriend.
08:55I just need a little more time. My position in life is going to change. Everything
09:01won't be differing. All I'm asking for is just a little more patience Cathy. Patience?
09:08You don't think I've been patient with you? How much longer do you expect me to be this way?
09:13If I keep spending money like this I'll go broke in six months.
09:18I like you Alex. But I don't want to live the rest of my life in poverty.
09:25Everyone was right. You are a loser and I deserve better.
09:38I didn't even know there was a lot of someone out front.
09:48Promise me you will reveal your secret to anyone okay?
09:55Sir can I be of assistance? I'm uh I'm here to check my bank balance.
10:07Check your balance? Do you have a card? Well no. I'm weird.
10:17Stop don't move!
10:25Hello. Can I help you? You know I am the customer manager of this branch and I am responsible for
10:4231 VIPs. I know them all like the back of my hand. You I do not know. Is there anything you need?
10:51I'm here to check my money. Do you have one of our cards? No. Well sir um I can't give you access
11:00if you do not have a card. Do you uh do you require anything else? Don't you have fingerprint
11:06recognition here? Sir? Alex. Alex. The fingerprint ID system is reserved for only the wealthiest
11:17families and businesses. Only a few people have registered their fingerprints in the system at
11:22least in this New York branch. As far as I know no one has ever even used it to access
11:27their holdings. I'd like to use it. I see. Place your thumb on the screen.
11:47Access denied. Wait let me try my index finger. Maybe it's the wrong fingerprint.
11:54What is your plan here? Your thumb doesn't work so you try your index finger and then if your
11:58index finger doesn't work you try your middle finger and then when you run out of fingers
12:01you're going to start using your toes. Sir if you don't leave now I will call the police.
12:06Access granted. Mr. Ambrose. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I'm Robert Miller. I'm the
12:16manager of the New York branch. Uh please uh is there any way I can assist you? It's it's fine.
12:22Can I see how much money I have left in the account? Yes of course.
12:26Of course. Your balance is 86 million dollars.
12:33Oh you have other holdings as well. Uh let me take a look. You see the surveillance screen shows
12:39where your physical holdings are everywhere. Uh as you can see.
12:46All right is uh is that it? Yes um let me give you one of our cards.
12:54How much money would you like to withdraw? I don't wish to withdraw any money.
12:59Just the card for now is fine.
13:04And welcome.
13:19Hey Alex is that your girlfriend right there? You wonder what she's gonna do with Billy tonight.
13:23Excuse me he's not my boyfriend anymore. Billy let's go.
13:28Are you out of your mind? I can't believe you would show up to a party like this.
13:33I can't believe you would show up to a charity event looking homeless.
13:37You're gonna ruin my father's good name. You know what Rose? I think I do have some
13:43unfinished business with the Brannits. Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? You're nothing.
13:48You can't hurt me Alex. Who gives a damn about you?
13:54Thank you all for coming tonight. I am proud to report we are 75 percent on our way
13:59to finally putting that roof on that orphanage.
14:23Mr. Alexandra Ambrose what can I do for you?
14:29I'm sorry.
