00:00Under your wise leadership, the Cassidy family will rise to new heights.
00:03Harry's a genius.
00:05I have an idea.
00:06Whoever can secure the 50 million dollars needed for the Century Garden project in the next two days
00:12will become the sole successor
00:16to the Cassidy family.
00:20What do you think?
00:25Oh!
00:27What the hell?
00:30Harry, I'm so sorry.
00:32David!
00:33Of all people for Stephen Adams to spill on,
00:36his wife's cousin Harry Cassidy had to be the worst.
00:40This is Burberry.
00:42I can pay for it.
00:43Think you could afford to get this cleaned?
00:45And on the day of Grandma's party?
00:47That's today.
00:49Of course you forgot.
00:56That useless husband of yours is still nowhere to be found, huh?
01:00Good luck explaining that to Grandma.
01:02Shut up, Harry.
01:04He's almost here.
01:11Honey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
01:13It's a long story.
01:15Who is that?
01:16He can't be a Cassidy.
01:17Oh, he is.
01:18He's the infamous son-in-law.
01:20Oh, the broke one who's contributed nothing to the family?
01:26You do this to yourself, Stephen?
01:28To me?
01:30You could have at least put on a clean shirt.
01:33It's like you're trying to be the only jealous.
01:35Kim, I didn't do this on purpose.
01:37Just forget it.
01:38Let's pay our respects.
01:39Talk about it after.
01:43Who gave you permission to go in?
01:44Harry, stop.
01:46You have no right.
01:47He has no right to enter my family villa dressed like that.
01:49Poor family villa.
01:51Not for long.
01:58Move, Harry.
02:00For Grandma's sake.
02:02Grandma did say that every member of the Cassidy family had to attend.
02:06But he's an Addams.
02:09Notice the sign.
02:13Kim, why don't you go in?
02:14Just do whatever you want.
02:19Way to know your place.
02:28We must give thanks for how blessed our family has been.
02:37And I hope we shall prosper for years to come.
02:47Grandmother, under your wise leadership, the Cassidy family will rise to new heights.
02:51Harry's a genius.
02:53This year alone, he's increased our family profits significantly.
02:57Smartest man in the city.
02:58Thank you, Harry.
02:59But I couldn't have done it alone.
03:02I am grateful to the friends and support we have had all over this great city of ours.
03:07Speaking of which, I'm sure all of you are excited to introduce to me
03:12the guests you've invited tonight.
03:14Grandmother, I'd like you to meet my guest.
03:17Meet Pete Rockford, the CEO of Rockford International.
03:22Charmed.
03:24It's a pleasure.
03:26Isn't it time you introduced your guest?
03:29Is that really how low things have gotten for you and your delivery boy husband?
03:35You couldn't even swing some f***ing lawyer?
03:38Well, Kim and I actually invited the head of the Stein family.
03:44Jack Stein, ladies and gentlemen.
03:47Steve and I go way back.
03:51Here is a jade statue as a token of my appreciation.
03:56Come on, Steve-O.
04:03What hobo did you hire to play the role of Jack today?
04:07What kind of a knockoff statue is this?
04:09Oh, I would be careful with that if I were you, Harry.
04:11It's worth 10 million dollars and we all know how you are with money.
04:15Need I remind you of the Murphy deal?
04:20Yeah, right.
04:22This is obviously fake.
04:26Actually, this is one of a kind.
04:34Very impressive guest, Kim.
04:41Actually, Grandma, it was...
04:42There's no need to explain.
04:52I couldn't be more proud of Kim and Harry.
04:57And I was going to save this news for the end of the night, but...
05:00Unfortunately, our family's long-standing success may be coming to an end sooner than we think.
05:09My loves, our family is in crisis.
05:14As you know, we were the majority investor in the Century Garden project.
05:19But due to lack of funding, the project has been halted.
05:22Also halted are any prospects of returns.
05:26The only way to save the family now is by securing a large loan or being gifted a substantial amount.
05:36It is time for a brave soul to step up and help.
05:45You seem to have no trouble speaking up when it comes to dividend,
05:48but when this family needs your help, you are suddenly quiet.
05:51Grandma, relax.
05:54Think of your health.
05:57I'll think of a way to solve this.
06:02Actually, didn't Kim prove the value of her connections today?
06:06Harry's right.
06:07Kim, this family's always had your back.
06:10Now it's time for you to have ours.
06:12Actually, Grandma, Jack was Steven's friend.
06:16He's the one who brought him.
06:18So I can't ask for an investment.
06:23How could you be so heartless?
06:26This family is not only in crisis, but you won't help us?
06:30And you're lying through your teeth to our dear Grandma?
06:34How could someone like Steven know someone like Jack?
06:39Are you mad at Grandma for not prioritizing your family all these years?
06:42No.
06:43It isn't like that.
06:50I have an idea.
06:51Whoever can secure the $50 million needed for the Century Garden project in the next two days,
06:57will become the sole successor to the Cassidy family.
07:05What do you think?
07:12Okay.
07:14And one more condition.
07:15Whoever fails will be forced to withdraw from the Cassidy family forever.
07:21Them and their immediate family.
07:26What's wrong?
07:29Scared, little cousin?
07:31We accept.
07:33We accept your bet.
07:35Kim.
07:38Trust me.
07:43That's right.
07:44We accept.
07:46You better not go back on your word.
07:48Don't worry.
07:50I'm not as shameless as you are.
07:57Okay, time to spill.
07:59How do you know Jack?
08:00He's a friend's dad.
08:02An old friend.
08:04Okay.
08:06But do you think he can help us get a loan?
08:08No, it's not like that.
08:11Well, then do you have any connections?
08:14Anyone who runs a bank who can help us get a loan of that size?
08:17Honestly, no.
08:18Then why did you accept the bet?
08:21Because I believe in you.
08:26Oh, my God.
08:40Hello?
08:40Mr. Adams, I have wonderful news and heartbreaking news.
08:45Um, I guess I'll take the heartbreaking first.
08:49Well, sadly, last night, Father Klein passed away in his sleep.
08:54Oh, no.
08:55But he's left his family fortune to you.
08:57The Porsche family fortune.
09:00Did you say the Porsche family fortune?
09:02Father Klein believes you've passed the test.
09:04It's humbled you.
09:05And he hopes you will continue to do good with this newfound fortune.
09:10Well, thank you.
09:12And Steven.
09:13Yes?
09:14Careful who you trust.
09:16You are now one of the wealthiest men in the country.
09:26I guess the tables are turning.
09:35Do you have an appointment?
09:36I'm here to see Dave.
09:38He knows I'm coming.
09:38Jack would have called.
09:55Dave Marks.
09:56Steven Adams.
09:57I'm here to speak with you about a possible investment in the Cassidy family.
10:02Are you the Cassidy family's son-in-law?
10:06I'm sorry.
10:07I can't help you.
10:10What do you mean?
10:11You're gonna dismiss me without even knowing the term of the deal?
10:15Because I don't know who you are.
10:17And you're not worth my time.
10:26I'll give you one chance.
10:28Excuse me?
10:29One chance to apologize to me and invest in the Cassidy group without charging any fees.
10:34And I'll forgive the way you're speaking to me.
10:37If you don't, you'll regret it.
10:42Is this some kind of joke?
10:47I'm not afraid of somebody like you.
10:51I'm not afraid of somebody like you.
10:57I don't care how you do it, but I want global investments to be mine in 10 minutes.
11:03You want to buy a five billion dollar company in 10 minutes?
11:10That's a lot.
11:15Yeah, security.
11:16Can you come up here and remove Steven Adams from my office, please?
11:18Hold on, I'm getting another call.
11:21Hey there, boss.
11:25You, you, you sold my company for 10 billion dollars.
11:33To who?
11:37To Steven Adams.
11:40Just had to get rid of some pocket change.
11:50Steven, no, Mr. Adams, I'm sorry, will you forget me?
12:04It's too late now.
12:09Deb, Frank.
12:11What do you want, boss?
12:12I need you to dig up any dirt on Dave Marks and how he's ruined this company.
12:16You have two days.
12:20Okay.
12:24What's your name?
12:26Mr. Adams, I'm Keisha.
12:28Keisha Daniels.
12:29Been here for five years.
12:31Loyal, smart, and kind.
12:37Okay.
12:38Starting today, Keisha will be the new CEO of Global Investments,
12:42and you'll all be getting a raise.
12:43If anyone causes Keisha any trouble or disagrees with her, there will be consequences.
12:50Thank you, Mr. Adams.
12:54Everyone can go.
12:55I just need a word with Keisha.
13:06Oh, you're married to Kim Cassidy, only the most beautiful woman in the city.
13:12Yes, and I need you to do something for me.
13:19Kim, hi.
13:21What are you doing?
13:22I'm just on my way to the bank to try to get a loan.
13:25Better to at least say I tried before I lose my family and fortune in bank.
13:28I'm not gonna let you lose to Harry.
13:30Let's go.
13:30I know somewhere you can secure a big loan.
13:42Seriously, Steven?
13:44Global Investments?
13:46You really think we can negotiate a deal with them?
13:47I already talked to Jack.
13:49He got you an appointment with the CEO.
13:50You just have to go in.
13:52I'll wait out here for you.
13:56Fine.
13:58I'll go in.
14:14Hello.
14:15Are you Mrs. Cassidy?
14:16Yes, please follow me.
14:18The CEO has been looking forward to your arrival.
14:21Will Steven's plan succeed?
14:23Will Kim be able to secure her place in the Cassidy family forever?
14:28Or will it all come crashing down around her?
