00:00What's going on, guys?
00:00Just talking to your boyfriend here.
00:03What do you even see in a loser like him?
00:05Loser?
00:06Watch what you say, Rose.
00:08Give up the joke.
00:10How long are you going to be a sugar
00:11mommy for this piece of trash?
00:13Just because your father is rich
00:14doesn't mean you get to treat people like they're nothing.
00:17Alex is nothing.
00:21Why is there a homeless kid in our study group?
00:23Boy, you're gonna get a bit of it.
00:25You know me, Rose.
00:28I'm in this class, too.
00:30I don't know who you are, but you're
00:31a piece of shit.
00:33I feel really uncomfortable with you here.
00:36Please get away from me, OK?
00:41OK, everybody.
00:42Everybody, settle down.
00:43Settle down.
00:45I'd like us all to send congratulations
00:47to Alex Ambrose, winner of this year's math competition.
00:52Stand up, Alex.
00:55We're passing out awards to janitors.
00:59It's like that movie where the janitor is secretly
01:01a math genius, except this freak is no Matt Damon.
01:14Thanks for helping me with the chemistry homework, Alex.
01:17Sure, no problem.
01:18You're so smart.
01:20I don't know how you remember everything.
01:24Hey, would you want to go to the movies with me tonight, Alex?
01:27How about trying on the sweater I bought you
01:30from Stacks at the Avenue?
01:31Yeah.
01:35Here.
01:37It's really nice.
01:43It's too expensive for me.
01:45Don't be silly.
01:48Just try it on for me, Alex.
01:51You'd be so handsome if you just let me clean you up a little.
01:58I know I'm not the coolest or most fashionable,
02:02but I like modesty and simple living.
02:08And I thought that's what you liked about me.
02:11Bye.
02:21Let's go out to eat.
02:22I'll buy, but I don't know how much longer I can keep paying for us.
02:29Hey, you loser.
02:31Guys, stop being so mean.
02:34Alex, don't listen to them.
02:36I actually wanted to talk to you.
02:38Look, we all know that you barely make any money.
02:42So I was thinking you should apply for a job at my father's company.
02:48I can get you into one of his offices.
02:50The Brennan Empire, multi-billion dollar corp.
02:54You've heard of us, I'm sure.
02:56I don't get it.
02:57I thought you guys hated me.
02:58Why are you offering me a job?
02:59Don't be silly.
03:01The guys joke around with everyone.
03:03And you're really smart.
03:06I'm sure there's a place for someone like you
03:09in one of my dad's many companies.
03:11OK, yeah, sure, I'm interested.
03:13Awesome.
03:15It's just, there's one condition.
03:17And what would that be?
03:20I want you to break up with Kathy.
03:21How would I do that?
03:23Why would you even want me to do that?
03:24It's simple, Alex.
03:26You're just low class.
03:28And Kathy's one of us.
03:30She deserves to be with someone in high society, like Billy.
03:35Not a low life like you.
03:38You know what?
03:40Screw you, Rose.
03:42I love Kathy.
03:44You can't buy me.
03:45Good one.
03:47You are too funny, Rose.
03:49He turned me down.
03:51Is that how I do it?
03:53Yeah, what's wrong?
03:55I mean, I was never going to give him the job anyway.
03:57I just wanted to have some fun watching him try.
04:00And then he just.
04:04You know that building that he lives in?
04:06It's owned by my father.
04:09He'll learn what it costs to reject
04:11an offer from the Brennans.
04:17Excuse me.
04:19You guys can't just come in here.
04:21Who are you?
04:22Doesn't matter who we are.
04:23What matters is your rent was due on the first.
04:27Today's the fifth.
04:28Plus your last month's rent also.
04:31You'll get your money.
04:32I promise.
04:32No more promises, Alex.
04:34You have money to take your girlfriend out,
04:37but you don't pay your rent?
04:38The Brennans don't like not getting paid.
04:41Guys, throw him out.
04:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.
04:45So Rose's dad owns this building, huh?
04:46Yeah, I should have known.
04:48The Brennans always seem to take advantage of people
04:49down on their luck.
04:50What scum, Anna.
04:52Guys, pin him.
04:55God, get the hell off me.
05:03Oh, saving for a rainy day, huh?
05:08I'll take this.
05:09Hardly enough to cover the rent, but it's a start.
05:12No, please, it's tips from deliveries.
05:13I'm saving up to buy my girlfriend a gift.
05:15Just leave it, please.
05:16I'll pay up as soon as possible.
05:18A gift for your girlfriend.
05:21I'm definitely keeping this then.
05:22You know, Alex, why don't you just leave this place, huh?
05:27Look, you can't afford this place, Alex.
05:30I grew up here with my mom.
05:36This place reminds me of her.
05:38It's the only thing I have left of her and her members.
05:41Too bad.
05:42You're behind in your rent.
05:44It's time you left.
05:45The Brennans like their money, and you're not paying.
05:47I'll pay you whatever new price you're
05:49going to charge it to me.
05:50Just give me back that money now.
05:52All right, guys, he's had enough.
05:54But I'm keeping this cash.
05:55Let's go.
06:01Alex, are you going to say hi?
06:04Hey.
06:05What's with the attitude?
06:07Just because everyone thinks you're trash doesn't
06:09mean you have to act like it.
06:10Trash?
06:11I heard about your money problems.
06:13You can't even pay rent.
06:15And Kathy's birthday is coming up.
06:18What are you going to do?
06:19All thanks to you.
06:20Look, Daddy's men were just doing what they were told.
06:24The offer's still open.
06:26The job, the job.
06:29The job?
06:30You won't have to be a broke ass anymore.
06:33Plus, if you work for us, nobody will bother you for rent.
06:38What do you think?
06:39Fine.
06:41OK.
06:42Smart decision, Alex.
06:44So when are you breaking up with Kathy?
06:46I genuinely love Kathy.
06:49I'm not breaking up with her.
06:50There's no way.
06:51Is there any way we can make this work without the breakout?
06:53Absolutely not.
06:56Either forget Kathy or forget the job.
06:58No job's good enough to break up with Kathy.
07:01Especially not one with your trash family.
07:03Alex, listen up.
07:04Hey.
07:05What's going on, guys?
07:06Just talking to your boyfriend here.
07:09What do you even see in a loser like him?
07:11Loser?
07:12Watch what you say, Rose.
07:14Give up the joke.
07:15How long are you going to be a sugar mommy
07:17for this piece of trash?
07:18Just because your father is rich doesn't
07:20mean you get to treat people like they're nothing.
07:22Oh, honey.
07:23Alex is nothing.
07:27Ask him.
07:28He doesn't have a single penny on him.
07:30And he's two months behind on rent.
07:33My father owns the building that he stays in.
07:36He'll be out on the streets in no time.
07:40Enjoy the rest of your life with a loser.
07:49I don't think you should come inside.
07:52OK.
07:53Why?
07:54I think we should break up.
07:57I'm not happy anymore.
07:59And I'm tired of everyone making fun
08:01of me for being with you.
08:03Since when do you care what other people think about?
08:05If you and me are happy.
08:07It's not just that, Alex.
08:09It's the money.
08:10I'm sick and tired of paying for everything all the time.
08:13You don't even try to chip in anymore.
08:15This is not the life that I had imagined with my boyfriend.
08:18I just need a little more time.
08:20My position in life is going to change.
08:22Everything will be different.
08:25All I'm asking for is just a little more patience, Cathy.
08:29Patience?
08:30And you don't think I've been patient with you?
08:34How much longer do you expect me to be this way?
08:36If I keep spending money like this,
08:37I'll go broke in six months.
08:39It's too difficult.
08:41I like you, Alex.
08:43That's ridiculous.
08:44But I don't want to live the rest of my life in poverty.
08:47Everyone was right.
08:50You are a loser.
08:53And I deserve better.
09:11Promise me you will reveal your secret to anyone, okay?
09:20Sir, can I be of assistance?
09:23I'm here to check my bank balance.
09:26Check your balance?
09:28Do you have a card?
09:30Well, no.
09:32I'm weird.
09:36Stop! Don't move!
09:38Stop! Don't move!
09:53Hello.
09:54Hey.
09:55What's that?
09:56Can I help you?
09:58You know, I am the customer manager of this branch
10:02and I am responsible for 31 VIPs.
10:06I know them all like the back of my hand.
10:09You, I do not know.
10:11Is there anything you need?
10:13I'm here to check my money.
10:15Do you have one of our cards?
10:18No.
10:19Well, sir, I can't give you access
10:22if you do not have a card.
10:24Do you require anything else?
10:27Don't you have fingerprint recognition here?
10:30Sir?
10:31Alex.
10:32Alex.
10:34The fingerprint ID system
10:36is reserved for only the wealthiest families
10:40and businesses.
10:41Only a few people have registered
10:43their fingerprints in the system,
10:45at least in this New York branch.
10:47As far as I know,
10:48no one has ever even used it
10:49to access their holdings.
10:51I'd like to use it.
10:53I see.
10:54I'm the only person who does it.
10:57Can I send you my card?
10:59Yes.
11:01Place your thumb on the screen.
11:09Access denied.
11:12Wait, wait, wait.
11:13Let me try my index finger.
11:14Maybe it's the wrong fingerprint.
11:16What is your plan here?
11:17Your thumb doesn't work
11:18so you try your index finger
11:19and then if your index finger doesn't work
11:21you try your middle finger
11:22and then when you run out of fingers
11:23you're going to start using your toes?
11:25Sir, if you don't leave now
11:26I will call the police.
11:28Access granted.
11:31What?
11:32Mr. Ambrose.
11:34I am so sorry.
11:35Please forgive me.
11:36I'm Robert Miller.
11:37I'm the manager
11:39of the New York branch.
11:41Please, is there any way
11:43I can assist you?
11:44It's fine.
11:45Can I see how much money
11:46I have left in the account?
11:47Yes, of course.
11:48Of course.
11:49Your balance is
11:5186 million dollars.
11:56Oh, you have other holdings as well.
11:58Let me check the holdings.
12:00You see, the surveillance screen shows
12:02where your physical holdings are
12:04everywhere
12:05as you can see.
12:09Alright.
12:10Here's that.
12:11Is that it?
12:12Yes.
12:14Let me give you one of our cards.
12:17How much
12:18money would you like to withdraw?
12:20I don't wish to withdraw any money.
12:22Just the card for now is fine.
12:27And welcome.
12:44Hey, Alex.
12:46Is that your girlfriend right there?
12:47I wonder what she's going to do
12:48with Billy tonight.
12:49Excuse me.
12:50He's not my boyfriend anymore.
12:51Billy, let's go.
12:54Are you out of your mind?
12:56I can't believe you would show up
12:58to a charity event
12:59looking homeless.
13:00You're going to ruin
13:01my father's good name.
13:03You know what, Rose?
13:05I think I do have some
13:06unfinished business
13:07with the Brents.
13:08Oh, yeah?
13:09What are you going to do?
13:10You're nothing.
13:11You can't hurt me, Alex.
13:13Who gives a damn about you?
13:17Thank you all for coming tonight.
13:18I am proud to report
13:20we are 75% on our way
13:22to finally putting that roof
13:24on that orphanage.
