00:00:00I'll get you some juice, okay?
00:00:12Watch out!
00:00:13Sorry, I was just grabbing some juice for Liam.
00:00:16Oh, you're the nanny.
00:00:18Are you blind or are you always just this stupid?
00:00:24Hey, are you okay? What happened?
00:00:26Are you okay?
00:00:29Why are you treating her like a queen? She's just a nanny.
00:00:32Oh, I forgot to introduce you to Daphne.
00:00:34She's my girlfriend.
00:00:42Stop your writing!
00:00:44Get off your ass and go out and make some money to pay your rent!
00:00:48Dad, I already gave you the money.
00:00:52You spent it all on gambling.
00:00:55You shut your mouth.
00:00:57You should go out and be a stripper.
00:01:00Yeah, and make some real money.
00:01:09Oh, look who's so high and mighty.
00:01:13You're not the queen of the world.
00:01:15I won't do it!
00:01:20You're not the queen of the world.
00:01:21I won't do it!
00:01:22I won't do it!
00:01:24Never.
00:01:25You'll do as you're told.
00:01:28That's how you get your room.
00:01:32Who the hell is Lulu?
00:01:39Excuse me?
00:01:41Our whore neighbor?
00:01:49You've got to be kidding me.
00:01:53Wait, wait, honey, listen to me.
00:02:00I am so sorry.
00:02:02I didn't want to take your room.
00:02:04I am not a whore.
00:02:06I only do lap dance.
00:02:08I just need to make some more money to support my daughter.
00:02:13She's very sick.
00:02:15I'm sorry.
00:02:18I'm sorry.
00:02:22Look, if you have something that you're proud of,
00:02:26you can get a decent job at the Kwan Club.
00:02:35I can't do this.
00:02:36Yes, you can.
00:02:38It's just the worst job.
00:02:41If my father sent you to say these things to me,
00:02:45just leave.
00:02:47I'm sorry.
00:03:17I'm sorry.
00:03:48Here's your uniform.
00:03:50Take good care of it.
00:03:52Well, it's definitely sexy.
00:03:59Why do you want to work here, Daphne?
00:04:01What other reason could I have than needing money?
00:04:07If you work hard,
00:04:08I guarantee you'll achieve more than you ever could.
00:04:13If you work hard,
00:04:14I guarantee you'll achieve more than you ever could.
00:04:18I see.
00:04:20But Miss Moon, I am just a waitress, not a stripper.
00:04:25I know.
00:04:26I won't make things too difficult for you.
00:04:36Why don't you come sit down?
00:04:38Yes, sir.
00:04:41Your champagne, sir?
00:04:44Yeah, that's it.
00:04:52Mr. Hunter.
00:04:53Excuse me.
00:04:54What?
00:05:00Stop.
00:05:03Come here.
00:05:05Can you hear the boss?
00:05:10Is there anything else I can get for you, sir?
00:05:14Take your clothes off.
00:05:17Hurry up.
00:05:23Hurry up.
00:05:25I'm sorry.
00:05:26I'm not a dancer here.
00:05:27I'm just a waitress.
00:05:29So you're new here.
00:05:31I'm still getting the hang of the job, sir.
00:05:33Okay.
00:05:34Well, as you probably heard, I'm the boss here.
00:05:37And I give the best tips.
00:05:39You're out there on your own.
00:05:41Why don't you start doing what you do best?
00:05:44Start dancing.
00:05:46Excuse me?
00:05:48Okay.
00:05:58I'll give you about 20 grand.
00:06:00There's my offer.
00:06:04I don't think so.
00:06:06Okay.
00:06:10I'll give you about 40 grand.
00:06:15Do you want to do it now?
00:06:24No.
00:06:25But I've always wanted to do this.
00:06:40I'm sorry.
00:06:44Daphne?
00:06:46Jimmy.
00:06:47What are you doing in this outfit here?
00:06:49Are you...
00:06:50Are you having money problems?
00:06:52Dude, you could have just asked me.
00:06:54I would have given you something.
00:06:55You are still such a jerk.
00:06:59I must say, you look unusually good in this bunny outfit you have going on here.
00:07:04She used to dress as a nun all the time when we were going out.
00:07:08I might be broke, but at least I don't have to kiss up to rich old ladies.
00:07:13Bitch, please.
00:07:15You're being too harsh.
00:07:28I want her to apologize right now, or she's fired.
00:07:32And I'll tell Mrs. Owens not to sponsor your club.
00:07:36You need a lot of money to pay off your credit card, don't you?
00:07:39I'm sorry, but you have to believe me. He started it.
00:07:44Kiss my shoe, and maybe I'll forgive you.
00:07:54Quickly. Five seconds, or you're fired.
00:08:01Who said she's fired?
00:08:03Blake Hunter?
00:08:04Yeah. You know, I don't want to see you in this club anymore.
00:08:07Your membership's canceled.
00:08:08Excuse me? How dare you?
00:08:10No one's going to hear about this. You can't kick me out of this club.
00:08:13Yeah, well, I'll find new toys for Mrs. Owens.
00:08:15You know what? Get the fuck out of my club.
00:08:17You can't kick me out of this club.
00:08:18I can do whatever the fuck I want.
00:08:19What are you going to fucking do, huh?
00:08:22I fucking own this shit!
00:08:27Sorry about that.
00:08:30Mr. Hunter, thanks.
00:08:34Call me William.
00:08:38Jimmy, my ex, was... he's just such a loser.
00:08:43Yeah, well, I don't care about your loser ex-boyfriend.
00:08:51Mr. Hunter, William, I really appreciate what you did for me today.
00:08:59Is there anything else you want to say to me?
00:09:04Then he helped you out.
00:09:06And finally, fired you?
00:09:09Wow.
00:09:11This is so absurd.
00:09:14Luckily, the College Career Center is going to set me up with a new job.
00:09:18I'm going to look after a little girl.
00:09:21She's only eight, but I haven't met the dad.
00:09:24He's so busy.
00:09:27And where is the mother?
00:09:34Rhian, slow down! I can't keep up!
00:09:39What are you doing here?
00:09:41Good to see you, too.
00:09:42Daddy.
00:09:43Hey!
00:09:44Daddy?
00:09:46How are you, Daphne?
00:10:03Why are you so quiet today?
00:10:08Mr. Hunter, I'm confused.
00:10:11You fired me a few days ago, and then you hired me again.
00:10:17Well, I'm confused, too.
00:10:19You don't even really like working at the club, do you?
00:10:25Never mind.
00:10:26Just go take care of Renee.
00:10:29I've got things I've got to do, all right?
00:10:31I was just wondering, where is Rhian's mom?
00:10:39The last thing I need is a nosy nanny.
00:10:42Get out.
00:10:56You scared me.
00:10:59Why don't you come to my room later?
00:11:16Just pick one.
00:11:19Is it really okay if I wear your past wife's clothes?
00:11:23Yeah, Rhian's okay with it.
00:11:29Okay.
00:11:43What do you think?
00:11:45It's perfect.
00:11:51I can't breathe.
00:11:58Oh, hey, that looks great.
00:12:04I'm so sorry.
00:12:05No, it's fine.
00:12:13What happened?
00:12:17Car accident.
00:12:19Does it hurt?
00:12:21I don't know. You want to find out?
00:12:28I'm just kidding.
00:12:31No, it doesn't hurt.
00:12:33It's hard.
00:12:35There's a steel plate in there, that's why.
00:12:40You want to know what else is hard?
00:12:59No.
00:13:05Dad.
00:13:08Dad, you look ill.
00:13:14I'm fine.
00:13:17Dad.
00:13:19I'm so sorry.
00:13:22You know you can move back in anytime you want.
00:13:25Are you lying to me?
00:13:27No, no, sweetheart.
00:13:29I never lie to you.
00:13:34You know, I've been kind of broke lately.
00:13:38Give me a few bucks?
00:13:42I don't have any money either.
00:13:46That's why you get out of a Bentley.
00:13:48You must be some kind of rich businessman or something, huh?
00:13:52I only need 200 bucks.
00:13:56I wouldn't give you a single penny.
00:13:58Oh, you think you can get rid of me
00:14:03because you're hooking up with some rich dick?
00:14:06Never!
00:14:08Who the hell are you? Who is this?
00:14:10I'm Daphne's father.
00:14:12I'm just asking her to pay her rent.
00:14:15Okay.
00:14:25If you ever come around here again, I'll hurt you.
00:14:27You understand?
00:14:32See you around, my dear daughter.
00:14:44I've considered your offer about being your fake date,
00:14:47and I want to do it.
00:14:50When do I start?
00:14:53Right now.
00:14:55Oh, you're the nanny.
00:14:58Are you blind or are you always just this stupid?
00:15:04Hey, are you okay? What happened?
00:15:08Why are you treating her like a queen? She's just a nanny.
00:15:12Daphne's my girlfriend now.
00:15:14I forgot to introduce her.
00:15:16What, the nanny?
00:15:18Yeah, of course.
00:15:20Hey.
00:15:24Daphne's a great nanny. She's like Mary Poppins.
00:15:27Yeah, she is. Hey, you want to come dance with Daddy?
00:15:29Yeah, let's go.
00:15:38Excuse me.
00:15:42Who does she think she is?
00:15:45Thinking she can replace Rebecca.
00:15:47Rebecca?
00:15:49She may be dead, but William will never forget about her.
00:15:52Why do you tell her about it?
00:15:54She won't last long.
00:15:56Ha ha ha!
00:16:14William hasn't dated anyone since Rebecca passed.
00:16:20He's loyal, to me and his mom.
00:16:24He hasn't told you anything about her, has he?
00:16:30William would never date anyone with such poor taste.
00:16:37In perfume.
00:16:40Who are you?
00:16:44I'm Mrs. Owens. Nice to meet you.
00:16:47Nice to meet you.
00:16:52I really enjoyed our dance earlier.
00:16:55Yeah, me too.
00:17:01What are you thinking?
00:17:05Um, I'm just...
00:17:07Hey.
00:17:09You were there for me earlier when I had to confront my dad.
00:17:12Let me be there for you now.
00:17:15Stephanie, you know...
00:17:18You smell amazing.
00:17:22Oh, come quick.
00:17:24Rhiann is having an asthma attack.
00:17:29Rhiann is having an asthma attack.
00:17:31Look!
00:17:33Hey.
00:17:35I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
00:17:37Here, we're gonna help you up. Sit up.
00:17:39Sit up for Daddy. There you go.
00:17:41Okay, we got you.
00:17:43Okay.
00:17:44I want you to take a deep breath for Daddy, alright?
00:17:46Here we go. Ready? Breathe in.
00:17:50Breathe out.
00:17:53Good girl. Yeah.
00:18:03Rhiann's gonna be okay.
00:18:06Don't worry.
00:18:08All thanks to you bringing that inhaler.
00:18:13She's such a sweet girl.
00:18:15Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:17She must miss her mom so much.
00:18:21I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean it like that.
00:18:25It's okay.
00:18:29You know, Rhiann's mom, she was, um...
00:18:33She was an amazing woman.
00:18:35Perfect in every way.
00:18:38It was...
00:18:40a very hot day...
00:18:44in Italy.
00:18:47I mean, it was so fucking hot I couldn't even see.
00:18:52And...
00:18:54these two guys just...
00:18:56came out of the alleyway...
00:18:58and they attacked her.
00:19:03And I didn't do anything.
00:19:07What happened?
00:19:11She was raped.
00:19:17What happened?
00:19:21She was raped.
00:19:37Okay.
00:19:50But I still got Rhiann.
00:19:54She's the most important thing to me in this whole fucking world.
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:05So you study finance, right?
00:20:08Mm-hmm.
00:20:11You know, we're hiring interns at the firm you own.
00:20:14Want a job?
00:20:16Who doesn't want to work at YTS?
00:20:20Can I see that?
00:20:29Well...
00:20:32your essays look really good.
00:20:34And I saw your great straight A's, right?
00:20:40You want a job?
00:20:43Yes, of course.
00:20:46Cool.
00:20:49Um, just don't forget about your part-time job being my...
00:20:53fake girlfriend.
00:20:55Right?
00:20:59Okay.
00:21:04So, Daphne.
00:21:06Are you familiar with the boss?
00:21:08He seems to be pretty friendly with you.
00:21:11Oh.
00:21:12She knows everything about William.
00:21:15You see, Miss Leyland here is actually Mr. Hunter's girlfriend.
00:21:20She's also his daughter's nanny.
00:21:25Miss Houston.
00:21:28Isn't it true that you didn't even finish school in France?
00:21:32And didn't your mom have to beg to get you in?
00:21:35Shut up!
00:21:38It's working hours right now.
00:21:40Why is it so noisy?
00:21:42Mom, Daphne humiliated me.
00:21:45I heard about you from William.
00:21:48But you shouldn't be arguing and causing a commotion during work hours.
00:21:52Especially on your first day on the job.
00:21:54But I didn't do that.
00:21:56You can go home.
00:21:58Now!
00:22:02Who's going home now?
00:22:04William.
00:22:07I think Daphne isn't ready to work here.
00:22:10She caused trouble in the wrong place.
00:22:12Really?
00:22:14You know, if she really wanted to cause trouble, you'd be in the hospital right now.
00:22:18William, she's a tramp.
00:22:20Why are you protecting her so much?
00:22:22Leila.
00:22:24Control your daughter. Otherwise, you can go home.
00:22:41Listen to me.
00:22:43I have a job for you.
00:22:46Daphne
00:22:54You're really trying to get fired, huh?
00:22:57They're all assholes.
00:22:59Aside from yourself.
00:23:02Yeah, well, what if I...
00:23:04ask you to do something crazy?
00:23:07Right now.
00:23:15I'm sorry.
00:23:17I'm sorry.
00:23:19I'm sorry.
00:23:21I'm sorry.
00:23:23I'm sorry.
00:23:25I'm sorry.
00:23:27I'm sorry.
00:23:29I'm sorry.
00:23:31I'm sorry.
00:23:33I'm sorry.
00:23:35I'm sorry.
00:23:37I'm sorry.
00:23:39I'm sorry.
00:23:41I'm sorry.
00:23:43I'm sorry.
00:24:02I'm so glad you had fun at school.
00:24:04We'll stop at the grocery store and we'll get something so yummy for dinner.
00:24:07I can see that your daughter gets her looks from you.
00:24:11Every aunt's not my daughter.
00:24:13She's my boyfriend's daughter, but...
00:24:17It's very sweet.
00:24:19Oh, my nephew, Joey.
00:24:21He just can't seem to stop holding her hand.
00:24:24We need her.
00:24:36Oh, my God.
00:24:38Wait, wait, this was my favorite?
00:24:41That is so embarrassing.
00:24:43Oh, my God.
00:24:45Oh, my God, it's humiliating.
00:25:00You're the one who spread the photos, didn't you?
00:25:02I did.
00:25:03So what?
00:25:04You were a whore, and that's just a fact.
00:25:07You know, I feel bad for you.
00:25:09Working at a strip club doesn't make me inferior,
00:25:12but stooping so low for the sake of a man who doesn't give a shit about you?
00:25:17That is...
00:25:19What, did you go ahead and waste your mom's money on this, too?
00:25:23Phew.
00:25:35I think it's time to proceed with my plan.
00:25:38She's such a bitch.
00:25:53Now.
00:26:01What are you doing?
00:26:03I'm just...
00:26:05You know what?
00:26:07You're not the best friend.
00:26:09Oh, yeah?
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:12You're not good as fuck.
00:26:14You're not good as fuck.
00:26:15You're just a chucker.
00:26:16You're just a bitch.
00:26:17And you call him up.
00:26:19I mean, shut up.
00:26:21There's someone on the phone, it's all right.
00:26:32May, can I talk to you for a second privately?
00:26:44If you want to insult me some more, you can go ahead.
00:26:48May, William doesn't have feelings for you.
00:26:52That's not the end of the world, okay?
00:26:55I really don't need your lecture right now.
00:26:59I already know I'm a clown.
00:27:01You're not, though.
00:27:03I mean, do you really even like William, or do you dislike the fact that he has power?
00:27:09I'm not your enemy.
00:27:11You have everything I don't, and no one is ever going to take that away from you.
00:27:17One more thing, don't hang around Jimmy.
00:27:21He's a very greedy guy.
00:27:26I have to go, excuse me.
00:27:28May?
00:27:38Excuse me, have you seen Rianne?
00:27:41Yeah, Rianne, um, I think she left a little while ago.
00:27:46What?
00:27:49With who?
00:27:52Um, oh.
00:28:02William?
00:28:04Rianne's left school with somebody.
00:28:07No.
00:28:10Listen, I think she might have been kidnapped.
00:28:14Can you just come, please, quick?
00:28:22William, what?
00:28:29Where the hell is my daughter?
00:28:32Huh?
00:28:36I don't know.
00:28:38I've only met Mr. Hunter a couple times before.
00:28:41I have no idea.
00:28:42Where is Rianne?
00:28:44He mentioned Daphne's name.
00:28:47That's about it.
00:28:49I mean, it's already happened.
00:28:52If anything happens to my daughter, I will hold you responsible.
00:29:09Don't call the police.
00:29:11You know what will happen to your daughter.
00:29:16Damn it!
00:29:25What are we going to do, Alan?
00:29:28We need to go get your daughter.
00:29:31What are we going to fucking do, Alan?
00:29:36I can get the board members.
00:29:38All right, you go get the board members.
00:29:40I want them here, all of them, now!
00:29:43One million dollars for any clues.
00:29:45Get the fuck, go!
00:29:46Yes, boss.
00:29:47Now!
00:30:01Well, I heard you were awarding a million a clue for your daughter.
00:30:05What about my two million in debt?
00:30:08Well, if it's a useful clue, I'll forgive the debt.
00:30:13Well, about a couple of weeks ago, Mrs. Owens, she actually comes up to me.
00:30:17She's all worked up.
00:30:19Says some guy's been blackmailing her and threatening to spill her secrets.
00:30:24You know, and I just figured he was just one of her little, you know, toy boys or something.
00:30:35But here's the kicker, my friend.
00:30:37Just recently, out of nowhere, he dropped completely off the radar.
00:30:42Vanished.
00:30:43Just like that.
00:30:45Instead, he's gone and set up camp in some other part of town.
00:30:50Covering his tracks real good.
00:30:53I'm not saying I know why, but I got a feeling this story isn't over yet.
00:30:59Okay.
00:31:01I understand. What's his name?
00:31:04Jimmy Adams.
00:31:14Hello? Who's there?
00:31:18Hello, Mr. Woods?
00:31:21Lulu.
00:31:23Lulu, this is Daphne. You have the wrong number.
00:31:26Yes, Mr. Woods. I missed your call a while ago.
00:31:30But I am so busy that I lost track of time.
00:31:35Oh. Oh, Lulu. Okay.
00:31:38Um, just go ahead and answer yes or no to my questions, okay?
00:31:43Okay.
00:31:45Is Dad with you?
00:31:47Yes.
00:31:49Is Jimmy with you, too?
00:31:52Yes, dear.
00:31:54Lulu, do they have Rianne?
00:31:58Yes, please.
00:32:00Wow. Okay.
00:32:02Um, are you in town?
00:32:05No, sugar.
00:32:06It's loud where you are. Are you in a gaming room?
00:32:10Yes.
00:32:12But I really don't have time.
00:32:14Wait, Lulu. Any, you know, landmarks around anything I could recognize?
00:32:21Mr. Woods, I'm afraid that I have some laundry to do.
00:32:27But I really need to go.
00:32:30I might be free next week.
00:32:33Ciao.
00:32:40Laundry.
00:32:43Laundry.
00:32:46Got it. Got it.
00:32:51Jimmy Adams. He's a shameless bastard.
00:32:55All right. This is what we're going to do, okay?
00:32:59We can't tell Daphne about this. We can't trust her. Not right now.
00:33:03And the reason we can't trust...
00:33:07Oh, goddammit.
00:33:11Why did we get into this?
00:33:16You good?
00:33:18You're going to be able to go through with this, right?
00:33:21I'm here, right?
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:26I'm going to check the inside, all right?
00:33:28Just hang on out here.
00:33:54She's in danger, too. I can't handle that right now.
00:33:58Yes, boss.
00:34:00Okay.
00:34:06You're good.
00:34:17We have to save Daphne.
00:34:20We have to save Daphne.
00:34:22Don't talk, okay? I'm going to take you home.
00:34:29Hey, leave her alone.
00:34:39All right. I heard some noise in the back, so I'm going to check and make sure everything's all right.
00:34:43But you're going to be able to watch them.
00:34:46Don't let them out of your sight, all right?
00:34:48Don't fuck this up.
00:34:49Fuck you.
00:34:52Dad.
00:34:55How could you do this?
00:34:57Don't be mad at me, Dad.
00:35:01I just really needed the money.
00:35:04If you let us go right now, I will give you a lot of money.
00:35:11You've got to do this because I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in prison.
00:35:16I've already given you so many chances.
00:35:20John.
00:35:22John.
00:35:23We've got to get the acid. We've got to go right now. The whole building's going to go up.
00:35:27John, we've got to go now.
00:35:28Dad, go!
00:35:31Dad.
00:35:32Dad, let us go.
00:35:35Dad, let us go.
00:35:37Dad!
00:35:41Dad.
00:35:44Dad, no, no, no.
00:35:47You can't leave me, okay?
00:35:50You have a dad who loves you so much.
00:35:56I'm going to get you out of here, okay? Let's go surprise him, okay?
00:36:01Daphne!
00:36:02Dad, I'm going to get you out of here.
00:36:05Brienne, take her. Take Brienne!
00:36:07Are you tired out there?
00:36:10Are you okay?
00:36:11I can't move.
00:36:14We've got to go now. We've got to go now.
00:36:27Hey, hey, hey.
00:36:32How are you doing?
00:36:34Are you okay?
00:36:35Where's Brienne?
00:36:36Don't worry about that.
00:36:37Is Brienne okay?
00:36:38Yeah, yeah. Brienne's okay.
00:36:43I'm so glad you're awake.
00:36:45Daphne, I just came here to see if you're okay.
00:36:52I heard you've been sleeping for like two days.
00:36:56Has it really been that long?
00:37:00Have you been here that whole time?
00:37:04Where would I go?
00:37:08I just came here to apologize.
00:37:15You know, Daphne, Mae confessed to me the other night.
00:37:19She told me where Jimmy and your dad were in that warehouse, and that's how it got to you.
00:37:31Mae, you can go now.
00:37:33Okay.
00:37:41Where are my dad and Jimmy?
00:37:44Well, your dad's in prison for what he did to you, and Jimmy, he's...
00:37:53Escaped?
00:37:56No, he was killed in that raid.
00:38:01The police killed him?
00:38:05I did.
00:38:21Hey.
00:38:23Hey, you get better?
00:38:27I can't believe Brienne said she loved me.
00:38:31She kind of thinks of you as her mom, huh?
00:38:35Promise me that you're not going to do anything dangerous like that again, Daphne.
00:38:42I wanted to tell you.
00:38:46I overheard what you said to Alan about not being able to fully trust me.
00:38:52No, that wasn't the whole bit.
00:38:54I was saying I couldn't fully trust you for not sacrificing yourself for others.
00:39:00I just don't want what happened to Rebecca happen to you.
00:39:07What the snake said.
00:39:10William, are you some type of mafia?
00:39:16And what if I am? Will you leave me?
00:39:21Listen, it's a family business, and I try not to get involved.
00:39:25I'm sorry.
00:39:29How many people have you killed?
00:39:36Ten.
00:39:38Including Jimmy Adams.
00:39:41I see.
00:39:45But I think that number is eleven.
00:39:49You killed Rebecca, too.
00:39:55Yeah.
00:40:01So, Sean is Joey's uncle.
00:40:04Oh, yeah.
00:40:05Brienne's little friend from school.
00:40:08That's cool. Sean, Daphne was telling me that you're a photographer, right?
00:40:12Yeah, mainly fashion, sometimes commercial.
00:40:18Didn't you also take that super famous perfume ad for the supermodel Helena Tarantino?
00:40:24You know, the super hot Italian-American.
00:40:27I mean, all of the rich guys are throwing themselves at her.
00:40:31Yeah, I wouldn't know anything about that modeling or tennis or anything.
00:40:53Hey.
00:41:02What?
00:41:05Come on.
00:41:07You were so cool and sweet today.
00:41:11Not jealous of Sean at all?
00:41:14Why should I be jealous?
00:41:16William, if I didn't know any better, I would think you're cheating on me.
00:41:20I can change, Daphne.
00:41:24Okay, I will change. For you, for us, I can be better.
00:41:36I'm on my way.
00:41:37Who's that?
00:41:38It's Lulu.
00:41:45Lulu, what happened?
00:41:46Did you get hit?
00:41:47Did you get hit?
00:41:48Yes, baby.
00:41:51We have to call the police.
00:41:56Daphne.
00:42:00Sean got deceived by a gang of loan sharks.
00:42:05He went to jail.
00:42:08They came to me for the debt.
00:42:13William, can you arrange someone to keep an eye on her so that those gangsters can't harass her?
00:42:19I'm going to take care of this.
00:42:21No one's going to hurt you anymore, Lulu.
00:42:25I can't.
00:42:28I'm so sorry.
00:42:29I'm sorry. I'm going to make a call right now.
00:42:31I'm going to make a fucking call.
00:42:37It's okay.
00:42:43It's okay.
00:42:51I relapsed.
00:42:54Why? Why?
00:42:57I tried.
00:43:02I tried, but John...
00:43:06John made me go to work.
00:43:10So I fell so stressed out.
00:43:15So I did it again.
00:43:20I promised you I would recover.
00:43:23I just can't do this alone.
00:43:26Did he beat you?
00:43:30Yes, he did.
00:43:36I can't believe I'm related to someone like him.
00:43:40I can't.
00:43:43Wait a minute.
00:43:46You don't know, do you?
00:43:49Don't know what?
00:43:50Definitely.
00:43:52You're not his birth daughter.
00:44:00William?
00:44:04Where did he go?
00:44:10I don't know.
00:44:24John, hi.
00:44:27I have a favor to ask you.
00:44:32Oh, my beautiful daughter.
00:44:35Did you come to get me out of here?
00:44:39Cut the crap.
00:44:42I know.
00:44:45I know you're not my real dad.
00:44:50Tell me.
00:44:53Who are my real parents?
00:44:58Alberto Romano might be behind this.
00:45:05The rich banker?
00:45:07That's all I know.
00:45:09You might get your boyfriend to do some investigating.
00:45:14And I'm warning you.
00:45:17You may not like what you find out.
00:45:26You make me sick.
00:45:28I'm sorry.
00:45:39He didn't say much.
00:45:45Well, I just want to say you can always count on me.
00:45:54Thank you, Sean.
00:45:58I love you.
00:45:59I love you.
00:46:27Daphne!
00:46:29Oh, Miss Owens. How are you?
00:46:32I'm good.
00:46:37Very good.
00:46:39I assume you've heard about what happened with Jimmy?
00:46:43Oh, yes.
00:46:45I knew that boy would end up in trouble.
00:46:49Though not quite like that.
00:46:52I suppose that's karma.
00:46:55Or as the Chinese say, people who do bad deeds will be punished by the invisible hand.
00:47:09Allow me, Daphne, to introduce Mr. Albert Romano.
00:47:16It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:47:18And who is this lovely lady?
00:47:21This is Daphne Leyland.
00:47:24William Hunter's girlfriend.
00:47:28No one from the Hunter family is allowed here. You should know that.
00:47:33I received an invitation.
00:47:35I don't care who invited you. Go, now!
00:47:39I invited her. I just hope my guest will not be slighted.
00:47:48You okay? You want me to call an ambulance?
00:47:51No, I don't want William to worry about me.
00:47:56I'm just so thirsty.
00:47:59Oh, my head!
00:48:04Here, take some aspirin. You'll feel better. Don't worry.
00:48:14Let me get you some water.
00:48:17What are you doing here?
00:48:18What are you doing here?
00:48:22What the hell did you do to her? You fucking piece of shit!
00:48:25William, no, no, no. William.
00:48:27Hey, are you okay?
00:48:29Sean didn't do this, William.
00:48:31It's okay. You're all right.
00:48:34William Hunter.
00:48:37You think you can just come into my house and cause a scene and leave?
00:48:42Dad, dad, no, no, no.
00:48:45Let him go.
00:48:47Okay.
00:48:49Please, dad.
00:48:51Go.
00:49:11Dad.
00:49:33My head is killing me.
00:49:36I just feel really sore.
00:49:38Yeah, it's natural for you to feel sore.
00:49:43What happened? Was I drunk last night?
00:49:47I think so. You were burning up real bad last night.
00:49:51I know that Sean wouldn't do this.
00:50:05Those were sent to my office anonymously.
00:50:08What?
00:50:11What?
00:50:15No, no. Who would do this?
00:50:22I'm not sure, but someone wants me to look bad.
00:50:25What did you eat last night?
00:50:28I can't remember, but I didn't take that aspirin that Sean gave me.
00:50:34Yeah, I had those pills chemically analyzed by Alan.
00:50:39Just aspirin.
00:50:43I know that Sean would never hurt me.
00:50:47No, Sean wouldn't.
00:50:49But his dad might.
00:50:53Sean is Alberto Romano's son.
00:50:57Maybe he knows something about my parents.
00:51:00Your parents?
00:51:01I didn't get the chance to tell you, but Sean is not my real father.
00:51:06He said Romano is behind this.
00:51:12Is there a feud between your families or something?
00:51:19The Romanos attacked Rebecca.
00:51:23And they made her commit suicide.
00:51:32Maybe they have something to do with the death of my mother.
00:51:37I'm not sure.
00:51:39But I'll help you find out, okay?
00:51:44Just promise me one thing.
00:51:47That you're not going to go meet Romano alone.
00:51:50He is a very, very dangerous man.
00:51:54I promise.
00:52:06Hey, what's new? Here's your coffee.
00:52:11Did you see this?
00:52:21May, will you come with me somewhere at lunch?
00:52:25Where?
00:52:27The Swan Hotel.
00:52:29I need to know if William is really dating Helena.
00:52:48There you go.
00:52:58Just go over there and talk to William.
00:53:01Well, what if they're just talking about work?
00:53:05Can you hear what they're saying?
00:53:12Here you go.
00:53:24Oh, I am so sorry.
00:53:28Hi, William.
00:53:30Your friend?
00:53:32I don't know.
00:53:47Who were they?
00:53:49Well, the one who just ran out is my girlfriend.
00:53:54Aren't you going after her?
00:53:56I'll be careful.
00:53:58Your dad's people are watching us right now.
00:54:04Okay, I've got to go to a meeting.
00:54:08I'll talk to you later, okay?
00:54:21Miss Leland,
00:54:22my boss is waiting for you.
00:54:24Who's your boss?
00:54:26Mr. Romano.
00:54:31Sure, alright.
00:55:00It's your dress, miss.
00:55:12Who is it?
00:55:13It's me.
00:55:15Sean!
00:55:18Daphne, you shouldn't be here.
00:55:21Dangerous?
00:55:23You've got to trust me.
00:55:24We have to get you out of here.
00:55:27Thank you, but I'm not going.
00:55:29Why?
00:55:31It's kind of a long story, but I need to see your dad.
00:55:34There is something very important that I need to discuss with him.
00:55:44Is that William?
00:55:47Yes, but...
00:55:49I do not want to talk to him right now.
00:55:51You should probably let him know where you're at.
00:55:54Remember last time?
00:55:56The party?
00:55:57I still remember that he punched me because he thought I was drugging you, so...
00:56:02I'm still sore.
00:56:03Maybe I'll give him a chance to explain himself.
00:56:06For your sake, but...
00:56:08Right now I need to get changed.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:19Wow!
00:56:22Sean, will you sit me up?
00:56:25Sure.
00:56:27Yeah.
00:56:32That tickle.
00:56:34That... mark?
00:56:36Oh, my birthmark?
00:56:38It really looks like a butterfly, doesn't it?
00:56:42It can't be.
00:56:44Sorry?
00:56:49Nothing.
00:56:57Is that William?
00:57:00Yes, but...
00:57:02I do not want to talk to him right now.
00:57:04You should probably let him know where you're at.
00:57:07Remember last time?
00:57:09The party?
00:57:19Here's the contract.
00:57:22Now, once we're in agreement, we can seal the deal right away.
00:57:30It's a very tempting offer, but...
00:57:34I'm afraid I don't work for criminals.
00:57:38Excuse me?
00:57:40I said you're all criminals.
00:57:42I mean, you're a bunch of gangsters, aren't you?
00:57:44Tie her up.
00:57:45We'll show her what real criminals do.
00:57:48Sean, are you out of your mind?
00:57:50Are you crazy about this one, too?
00:57:52Dad, listen.
00:57:54Daphne's my sister.
00:57:59She's your daughter.
00:58:15Daphne!
00:58:18Fuck.
00:58:20Fuck, man.
00:58:22I'm supposed to protect that girl, man.
00:58:24Fuck.
00:58:28Alan.
00:58:30Yeah, I need you to hack into all the CCT footage.
00:58:32I want everybody out finding Daphne.
00:58:34Got it?
00:58:36Okay.
00:58:44Sean, your little joke is not amusing.
00:58:55It can't be.
00:58:58It can't be.
00:59:05Daphne.
00:59:09Do you mind?
00:59:14No.
00:59:45Bianca.
00:59:48Our child is still alive.
00:59:55I'm sorry, dear.
00:59:57I'm just so happy.
01:00:01Daphne.
01:00:03You are just as beautiful as your mother.
01:00:08Dad.
01:00:10Should I take Daphne to a genetics test or...
01:00:14No.
01:00:16I do not want my daughter out of my sight.
01:00:20I don't want her near that slimy pig, William Hunter.
01:00:26Why do you hate William so much?
01:00:29I heard that it was your people who raped his wife, which led to her suicide.
01:00:33Of course that's what he told you.
01:00:35But the truth is, his family killed Bianca.
01:00:39Your mother.
01:00:45Who knows how they tortured her and drove her mad until she killed herself.
01:00:51And they made up these stories to blame it on our family.
01:00:55But, Mr. Romano, I...
01:00:56I am your father.
01:00:59Call me Dad.
01:01:03Sean, it's getting pretty late.
01:01:05Take your sister up to her room.
01:01:08I've got a lot to think about.
01:01:10Come on, sis.
01:01:12I can't stay long.
01:01:14That'll get suspicious.
01:01:18Sean.
01:01:20I'm just so confused.
01:01:23Are you really my brother?
01:01:26Look.
01:01:27All I know is I came to this country
01:01:31because I wanted to help you.
01:01:34I wanted to help you.
01:01:36I wanted to help you.
01:01:37Look.
01:01:38All I know is I came to this country
01:01:42looking for my little sister, okay?
01:01:44And after all we've been through,
01:01:46after seeing your birthmark, I just...
01:01:51I just knew.
01:01:55I can't believe it.
01:01:57I can't believe it.
01:01:58I know.
01:02:03Mr. Sean?
01:02:04Your father is waiting for you.
01:02:07Okay.
01:02:17Get her out of there.
01:02:32May I join you?
01:02:34Why are you here?
01:02:36We have to be quiet.
01:02:38How did you even get in?
01:02:39How did the security system get in?
01:02:42Why?
01:02:43Apparently you don't even know me.
01:02:45Daphne, come on.
01:02:46That's what you told your real girlfriend, Mr. Hunter.
01:02:49Why don't you just go back to that Helena woman?
01:02:53I don't need you.
01:02:54I have my father.
01:02:56And my brother.
01:02:57And they are rich and powerful, too.
01:03:05I love you.
01:03:36William, it's fine.
01:03:38I told my dad about my suspicions,
01:03:40and he wants to talk to you.
01:03:43Daphne, I'm telling you.
01:03:45If he wanted to talk to you, and he's so cool with me,
01:03:48he would not be the real Alberto Romano.
01:03:53My sweet little Daphne is smart.
01:03:57But a clever rabbit will never be as seasoned and cunning as a fox.
01:04:03Of course I won't speak with you.
01:04:05Your father murdered my wife and many of my brothers.
01:04:09Daphne, this is business.
01:04:12Dad.
01:04:16But now that I have you,
01:04:18I'm going to force your old man to give up the merger with T&G.
01:04:22Otherwise, he'll never see his beloved son and successor again.
01:04:28Well, that's great, Mr. Romano.
01:04:30But I'm not the family business's successor anymore.
01:04:33You want to know why?
01:04:34Nonsense.
01:04:36My father asked me to marry Helena,
01:04:39the only daughter of the president of T&G.
01:04:42But I won't.
01:04:43And that's because I'm in love with your daughter.
01:04:48Me and Helena, we've been running around fooling our parents.
01:04:53As long as we got the merger secure, we're free.
01:04:56I asked my brother to take over the family business.
01:04:59Even if you want to put me in prison, you can't.
01:05:02The merger between T&G and Hunters is going to happen.
01:05:06You bastard.
01:05:10You bastard.
01:05:11Wait.
01:05:13Son.
01:05:15This is not going to solve anything.
01:05:20Please, Dad.
01:05:22We have to calm down and discuss this, okay?
01:05:30This is my fate.
01:05:33My daughter's in love with my enemy's son?
01:05:36Is this karma?
01:05:38Have I already been punished by the invisible hand?
01:05:43Wait.
01:05:46Mrs. Owens said that exact same thing to me the other night at the dinner party.
01:05:51As the Chinese say, people who do bad deeds will be punished by the invisible hand.
01:06:00After the champagne that she gave me, that's when I started to feel dizzy.
01:06:04Mrs. Owens?
01:06:07But she's friends with family.
01:06:10So what?
01:06:11She's one of William's closest business partners, right William?
01:06:16That's right.
01:06:18You know, in fact, she's the only one who found Rebecca's body.
01:06:27We have to check the camps.
01:06:48Rewind it.
01:06:58She doesn't drug the champagne, but the waiter does.
01:07:01As soon as he gives her that signal, she walks it over to me.
01:07:04You're right.
01:07:10Hey, I know she's been doing some dirty business with underground gangs in several states.
01:07:15Bianca! My wife, Bianca, treated her like family!
01:07:21I will deal with Mrs. Owens myself, severely.
01:07:26Sir, if you can trust me, I'm going to handle this.
01:07:29How?
01:07:31I need to ask you to do me a favor, okay?
01:07:35Can you take care of Daphne?
01:07:37Of course I can take care of my daughter.
01:07:46I've been doing some investigation work on Mrs. Owens.
01:07:50I haven't found anything important yet, but I know she runs a strip club.
01:07:55You think you can infiltrate this place and find something out?
01:07:59I do, and I'm going to call my men.
01:08:03Mrs. Owens will have her little haven well guarded.
01:08:07You're putting your life at risk.
01:08:10Yeah, well, I can't let what happened to my late wife happen to Daphne.
01:08:20And I know she's going to be safe with you.
01:08:27Can we please not be so pessimistic?
01:08:29If both of our families are working together, there has to be a way.
01:08:34It's my girl.
01:08:36Well, we know the place, and I heard from Helena that her father is invited there,
01:08:42so maybe Mrs. Owens is trying to make business with the Tarantinos.
01:08:48There has to be a way to get in there without being guests.
01:08:59You said it was a strip club, right?
01:09:07Okay.
01:09:09Okay, great. Thanks, Ethan. Ciao.
01:09:16I talked to my boys. Mrs. Owens is looking for new strippers.
01:09:22You can't let her go undercover as a stripper.
01:09:24William, I can handle myself.
01:09:27All I have to do is place a microphone somewhere in that room and you can catch them red-handed.
01:09:31Well, I don't think you should go alone either, Daphne.
01:09:34Sean.
01:09:36I'm just saying, I'm coming with you.
01:09:39What?
01:09:41I don't think Mrs. Owens is going to have a problem with a mainstripper.
01:09:57Come in.
01:10:00Mr. Hunter?
01:10:03Miss Leyland is in makeup. She'll be with you in about an hour.
01:10:08Okay.
01:10:10You look so exhausted. Can I rub your shoulders?
01:10:16No, I'm good.
01:10:18Miss Leyland will never find out. Let's have fun.
01:10:23Who the hell do you think you are?
01:10:28This is the second time now you've pretended not to know me.
01:10:31Holy shit. Daphne.
01:10:34I totally fooled you, right?
01:10:36Yeah, that hair looks so real.
01:10:39Okay, but if you were to start dancing for me, you wouldn't have fooled me. I would have known. I've seen that before.
01:10:45You want to help me hone my skills?
01:10:48Very much so.
01:10:50Okay.
01:11:02What's going on, buddy?
01:11:05Do you have a pass?
01:11:07I actually have a personal pass from Miss Owens herself.
01:11:12She told us to get here at 11 on the dot.
01:11:15So, here we are.
01:11:18Where is Her Highness?
01:11:20You have a hot, smoky body, baby.
01:11:22Well, haven't you got one big chest?
01:11:27I wonder what else you've got in there.
01:11:31Ah, there she is.
01:11:34The most charmingess ever.
01:11:36Are these the new ones?
01:11:38That's right.
01:11:40The new hot talent.
01:11:42You better be.
01:11:43I have a very important guest coming later.
01:11:47Very nice.
01:11:49Very tight.
01:11:51Simba for you, madam.
01:11:55You look familiar.
01:11:58Have I seen you somewhere before?
01:12:07Mr. Joseph Romano.
01:12:10Welcome in, darling.
01:12:13My name's Nana.
01:12:15I'll show you a good time.
01:12:19Do you like what you see, Mr. Sir?
01:12:23You're quite the performer, Nana.
01:12:27I like being watched by handsome men.
01:12:32You definitely know how to get a man going.
01:12:35I ain't got time for that.
01:12:37I've got to go.
01:12:39I've got to go.
01:12:41I've got to go.
01:12:43I've got to go.
01:12:45You definitely know how to get a man going.
01:12:48I aim to please.
01:12:50Now, let me show you just how far I'm willing to go.
01:12:56You're hot.
01:13:05How about my big brother?
01:13:07Did they find out?
01:13:10Oh, they're too arrogant to find out.
01:13:13They're playing right into my hands.
01:13:16Alberto hasn't trusted William since he learned the truth about his precious wife's demise.
01:13:24William, he doesn't doubt a word I say.
01:13:28He suspects nothing.
01:13:31You really think he bothered when you told him his wife committed suicide?
01:13:37William, he doesn't doubt a word I say.
01:13:41He suspects nothing.
01:13:43Fuck you, motherfucker! I'll fucking slit your fucking throat!
01:13:52I'm going to get you. I'm going to get you.
01:13:55Mr. Romano, Mr. Romano, he's going to know the truth.
01:14:00And Owens is going to pay.
01:14:02Oh, yeah.
01:14:05Oh, yeah. Owens is going to fucking pay.
01:14:13Yeah, Sean, go.
01:14:15William, I'm in their security room right now.
01:14:18I'll be able to hack their system in half an hour.
01:14:21Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's Daphne?
01:14:22First room, second floor.
01:14:24Wait, wait, wait. I just found a way of opening the back door.
01:14:28I'll let you in.
01:14:35What are you going to do with Alberto?
01:14:38Whatever suits him. I'm not even related to him.
01:14:42He was the adopted son, but my dad made him his successor.
01:14:46That is so unfair.
01:14:48You enjoy playing with fire, Mr. Joseph.
01:14:52Be careful. You might get burned.
01:14:56I've never been the one that's shy from a little danger.
01:14:59I can handle myself dull.
01:15:02Come a little closer.
01:15:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:15:14All right, keep going, Alan. Keep going.
01:15:16Almost there.
01:15:18Almost there.
01:15:20Mrs. Owens has been hiding more than we thought.
01:15:23Yeah, she has.
01:15:25Yeah, hey, stop there.
01:15:29Come here.
01:15:32Daphne's in trouble. Grab your fucking gun, Alan.
01:15:34Let's go.
01:15:38Daphne.
01:15:40Daphne's in trouble.
01:15:43Come here.
01:15:45Stop it.
01:15:47You're being rude.
01:15:49I could never be as rude as you, Mrs. Owens.
01:15:52You really think you're going to get away with this?
01:15:54The truth will always come to light.
01:15:57What are you talking about?
01:15:59Your alliance with Mrs. Owens can't protect where you are.
01:16:04Long time no see, Mrs. Owens.
01:16:07What?
01:16:09Daphne.
01:16:13Daphne.
01:16:14That's right.
01:16:16I'm Mr. Alberto Romano's daughter.
01:16:19A little slow today, aren't you?
01:16:21You didn't even notice William's people surrounding the place.
01:16:25Bitch, I am going to kill you.
01:16:29It's over, Owens.
01:16:33Your game is done.
01:16:36We have all the evidence.
01:16:38You can't get away with this any longer.
01:16:40You can't prove a thing.
01:16:42I got everything you said, corny motherfucker.
01:16:46Joseph.
01:16:48It's you.
01:16:50My brother.
01:16:52My brother.
01:16:54Forgive me.
01:16:59Shit.
01:17:07No, no, no, no, no.
01:17:09William.
01:17:11William.
01:17:12Back into it, brother.
01:17:14No.
01:17:16I'm sorry.
01:17:18I'm sorry.
01:17:20No, we have so much left to do. Please.
01:17:23I love you.
01:17:25Don't do this.
01:17:27Please.
01:17:29Please, William.
01:17:31Please, please, no.
01:17:33One second, darling.
01:17:36No, no, no.
01:17:38No.
01:17:55Hey.
01:18:00You scared me.
01:18:03Couldn't let anything bad happen to you, Daphne.
01:18:09And I love you.
01:18:15I want to do this now for a while.
01:18:19William.
01:18:24Daphne, will you marry me?
01:18:29Yes, yes, of course.
01:18:31A thousand times yes.
01:18:38I love you.
01:18:43I love you.
01:19:00Come in.
01:19:04Mr. Hunter, I have your drinks.
01:19:07You must be new here. I haven't seen you before.
01:19:12What do you think about getting undressed?
01:19:15Excuse me?
01:19:17I remember you being quite the stripper.
01:19:20I'm just a waitress.
01:19:22Besides, I'm engaged now.
01:19:26Is your fiancé as good as I am?
01:19:29Of course.
01:19:31Oh, but he's richer and hotter than you.
01:19:35So your boyfriend, he's probably better at everything than you.
01:19:38Fiancé.
01:19:39Oh, fiancé.
01:19:41Well, let's hope he doesn't find out about us.
