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