00:09:43But but you have to let him know he's the father of the child and he has to take responsibility he doesn't love me
00:09:52I'm afraid
00:09:54That if I tell him he you might ask me to abort the baby I could raise the child on my own
00:10:00I believe in myself
00:10:01Listen, that's where is his right to know. Do you understand?
00:10:10Top student at my school and yet being number one doesn't always give you what you want in life still pours the day
00:10:17I met you drinking cheap juice in a cheap dress
00:10:22Bonnie Lockwood
00:10:25And maybe poor now, but just wait until I graduate and I'm gonna show you what a real great designer looks like
00:10:32Somebody needs a reality check. I

00:27:12Frank take this mistress back to the hospital now the families need to talk
00:27:22Tell him what you told me
00:27:29Do you want to know a secret
00:27:31Vesper is an old classmate of mine and years ago. She sold herself to a sugar daddy to pay for father's medical bills
00:27:37You're not the only man in the future
00:27:41I
00:27:47Told my dad I was here
00:27:49Clara
00:27:50My dad can't find out that I'm being a contract lover to the boss
00:27:57Are you crazy don't worry, of course, I didn't see anything
00:28:00But he was in a rush after he heard that you fell from the stairs
00:28:04How could I stop a father from visiting his daughter in the hospital?
00:28:08I just hope my dad doesn't run into Raymond or his grandma
00:28:13It'll all be over otherwise
00:28:15My dad might even get humiliated by Raymond's grandma. Oh
00:28:21Sweetheart, how are you?
00:28:29Maybe she's right Frank
00:28:32Maybe she didn't take the check because she's getting more checks from someone else probably that old sugar daddy

00:31:33He has to pay an official visit to his house
00:31:36But if he doesn't you're never ever allowed to see him ever again

00:32:30but you guys
00:32:34Well, sweetheart, I was just telling your boyfriend how wonderful you are
00:32:38Yeah. Yeah. My girlfriend is not only really good our studies, but also very very caring for her father. She does
00:32:45You know three years ago. I was very sick. I needed $100,000 of surgery
00:32:50We didn't have the money. So Vesper went out begging for it. Stop dad. Wait a hundred thousand dollars
00:32:56That was for your dad's medical bills
00:33:04I don't want to learn to swim. I want to go to the cinema with Uncle Fountain
00:33:08There are other showings at the cinema. The swimming lessons only start at three. Okay, you go and by the way
00:33:13Hey, don't you make your movie dates with Uncle Fountain. It won't bother him. Why? I want to pretend he's my dad in front of all my classmates
00:33:25Hey, here we go. Give me a hug
00:33:31It's for you, buddy
00:33:33Is it really a bother if you go to the movies with him again?
00:33:35No, I've been taking care of him for nine years. A few movie dates is not a problem.
00:33:40I know you've always been so nice to us
00:33:42But I can earn money myself. Look, I've done a great job with Hugo. Of course
00:33:47Hey, I heard that you got another award for one of your designs and got an offer from a big company. You deserve it Vesper
00:33:54Jake must be proud. He is. I went and visited him at the nursing home the other day. He was glad.

00:36:43Thank you, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I'm Hugo
00:36:52Thank you, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I'm Hugo
00:36:58Thank you, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm Vesper
00:37:02Yeah, yeah, great to meet you. I'm Raymond, and this is Frank.
00:37:15What are you doing here? My mom works in that office.
00:37:22I'm waiting for her. Raymond,
00:37:27is it okay if I introduce you guys to my mom?
00:37:31Sure, it would be a pleasure for her to meet my friends.
00:37:33Sure, yeah, no problem. Your mom sounds great. I mean, moms are great people.
00:37:40She is. Yes, mom. Come on.
00:37:46All right.
00:37:56Are you Vesper Brown, the girl who won first place in the Sun Awards?
00:38:00Yes, nice to meet you. Sorry, I didn't mean it.
00:38:04I guess your reflexes aren't as good as your drawings.
00:38:08You know, good design skills are not everything here at River.
00:38:13Don't bully my mom. It's okay, baby.
00:38:16So what? Am I not qualified to work here? You're just like many of the poor girls
00:38:21coming here looking for glory. Just another shameless slush.
00:38:42Let go of me. Where the hell are you? Did you get a place in the Sun Awards too?
00:38:47Frank? Good, Bill. Let's see exactly what's going on here.
00:38:52Bill, my RCEO. You're bluffing. Why did you sign up for her?
00:38:57She's my wife.
00:39:01Bill. President Ronald,
00:39:03why'd you send the phones over the way? Well, this is my wife and it appears that
00:39:08she's being bullied by one of my employees. Is this the company culture here?
00:39:13Bill. I apologize, but I'm so sorry.
00:39:17Cora, that could be legally required. You can pack your things.
00:39:22No, no, no.
00:39:28Clara, I will be paying the medical bills of $100,000 within half an hour.
00:39:35I will literally do anything to save my dad's life.
00:39:47Boss, we got that loser in Philly. Kill him. The ones who betray Hellgang
00:40:03can go to hell itself. Right away.
00:40:06Vesper, did you enjoy your time in college? Thank you. It's a pleasure to make your
00:40:12acquaintance. I'm Vesper. Also, boss, Miss Brown is here.
00:40:20Let her in.
00:40:28It's been a long time, Mr. Ronald. I told you, call me Raymond.
00:40:33How have you been, Vesper? Um, a bit stressed out, actually,
00:40:37Raymond. I'm here because I wanted to ask you, could you please lend me $100,000?
00:40:46I knew you'd react this way. If I were you, I might have reacted the same way.
00:40:51I want to say I can do anything for you. What do you mean by anything?
00:40:57I can be your contract lover.
00:41:01You excel in your studies. Why'd you let yourself down like this?
00:41:04Because, Raymond, I need the money. The money's the most important thing right now.
00:41:08So you want to be my contract lover. Tell me, Vesper Brown, how much do you like me?
00:41:13I... Answer me.
00:41:17Even if my tuition is $100,000, I'm still going to be your contract lover.
00:41:21I'm not going to be your contract lover. I'm not going to be your contract lover.
00:41:25I'm not going to be your contract lover.
00:41:28Answer me. Even if my tuition was funded by your philanthropic support,
00:41:34I'm too humble. Okay, don't worry, I don't dare to have feelings for someone like you.
00:41:40It is strictly a business deal for me. I didn't realize you were so money-oriented as well.
00:41:45What if I reject you? Would you go to another rich man right away?
00:41:49Yes, I need this $100,000 today.
00:41:54Can you swim? No.
00:41:57Can you jump? I'll say yes.
00:42:27Vesper? Frank, call the doctor!
00:42:37Boss, the doctor said Ms. Brown is out of danger. She's definitely going to wake up tonight.
00:42:42She's actually willing to sell herself for money.
00:42:45And this is the girl I've always had my mind on.
00:42:49God, you're so stupid. Boss, is she really just your contract lover?
00:42:54The only thing that she cares about is money. She doesn't respect me, so I won't respect her.
00:43:00For now, she'll be my contract lover and I'll do with her whatever I please.
00:43:03I need you to draft me a contract, Frank.
00:43:06She likes money. Well, I'll let her know the bitter consequences of money.
00:43:13Yes, sir.
00:43:13Thank you, Mr. Ronald. I received the money.
00:43:31Are you drunk? Are you drunk or inside you?
00:43:36Do you even know my true identity? I'm more than just a covenant.
00:43:40You're the boss of Hell King, known as the Mafia King. People say you're the Devil of Chicago.
00:43:51That's right. Yet you still dare to be my contract lover. Are you aware of the consequences?
00:43:58I get it now. It's because I'm the richest man around. I'm the only one that can satisfy you,
00:44:13Esmeralda.
00:44:16Ah, what are you doing?
00:44:39Hey, hey, easy. Just love your dress. I can't help but touch.
00:44:43Ah, how can you see that? Raymond's gonna hear about this.
00:44:46Miss Brown, you're acting like Mrs. Ronald, all right? You're nothing more than Mr. Ronald's
00:44:50mistress. A toy. Besides, I'm his most valuable business partner. I don't think he'll mind
00:44:56whatever I decide to do next. Frank, take him away. If anyone else talks about one,
00:45:02beat them with bullets. Yes, sir.
00:45:04Thank you, Raymond. I knew you were gonna-
00:45:05Let me guess. You're trying to seduce him just because he's rich.
00:45:08What? No, I-
00:45:21No, Raymond! We have to make it clear it wasn't my fault today!
00:45:27You really don't love me at all, Raymond. The contract is expiring, so I'm gonna leave.
00:45:34Leave? Yeah. It'll be three years
00:45:37in a month. There's no reason for me to stay, is there? After all, you don't love me.
00:45:44I'm not letting you go. No one can escape Hellgate.
00:45:52Why is it so necessary for you to wear me down day after day with your coldness?
00:45:57Coldness? You're rejecting my passion now, are you not?
00:46:07Be brave, Esmeralda. Tell him you really love him. Tell him you're pregnant now.
00:46:31He might love you too. What?
00:46:35No, he's- Engaged.
00:46:36You have to be beside him. Frank.
00:46:55Why are you here? What have you heard? You're getting engaged?
00:47:00Yes, but a contract lover shouldn't eavesdrop.
00:47:05What? You're already going to lose your financial source?
00:47:07God, no, Raymond. Don't look down on me. Congratulations. You finally have your own-
00:47:15Well, it seems you aren't too happy about this, are you?
00:47:19Tell me you don't want me to marry another woman. Just say it, Esmeralda. See how he reacts.
00:47:24Who am I to stand in your way? A contract lover shouldn't meddle with your affairs.
00:47:31I won't embarrass myself. No, Raymond! You can't do that!
00:47:39Reject me, huh? Why? You short of cash? Is this enough?
00:47:46You asshole, Raymond!
00:47:48What? Clara, I knew you would react this way.
00:48:06To be honest, I never expected that I would ever become a single mother.
00:48:13But you have to let him know. He's the father of a child,
00:48:17and he has to take responsibility. He doesn't love me.
00:48:21I'm afraid that if I tell him, he might ask me to abort the baby.
00:48:26I could raise the child on my own. I believe in myself.
00:48:29Listen, Esmer, it's his right to know. Do you understand?
00:48:38Top student at my school, and yet being number one doesn't always give you what you want in life.
00:48:43Still poor as the day I met you, drinking cheap juice in a cheap dress.
00:48:48Bonnie Lockwood. I may be poor now,
00:48:52but just wait until I graduate, and I'm going to show you what a real great designer looks like.
00:48:57Somebody needs a reality check. I can go to study abroad at any university of the arts at any time
00:49:04and work at any top company after graduation. But you? You're always going to be struggling
00:49:09at the bottom of the ladder. My starting point is way ahead of any place you can land.
00:49:14How could you say that? Oh, uh, because it's the truth.
00:49:18And by the way, on top of that, the boss of the Hell Gang, the company president of the R.R. Group,
00:49:24Mr. Raymond Arnold is my fiancé now. Together, our two families will be more powerful than ever.
00:49:31But you'll never marry someone like that. Number one at school, but not in real life.
00:49:39So
00:50:04no, no, Miss Brown, you can't go. The boss will kill me.
00:50:08Please, Frank. I'll go crazy if I stay here any longer. Okay, I have to get out of here today.
00:50:16Boss, Miss Brown just left with her suitcase. She seemed a little off.
00:50:24Don't worry, baby. We'll get through this.
00:50:27Hey, such a pretty girl. Come here. Come on. I'm in a hurry. Leave me alone.
00:50:32I'm here. I'm here. Look at his body. Huh? Stop it. Don't touch me.
00:50:43Which one of you bastards touched her?
00:50:53Sorry, let's go. Please, Raymond, don't kill anyone. Okay? I just want to go home.
00:51:02You left without my permission. Put yourself in a dangerous situation. What are you trying to do, die?
00:51:19You don't do that again, you come back to me.
00:51:24Oh, because it's the truth. The boss of the hell gang, the company president of the RR group,
00:51:32Mr. Raymond Ronald is my fiance. But you'll never marry someone like that. Number one at school, but
00:51:38not.
00:51:41Is there anything you want to tell me? Anything important? Did you ever love me, Raymond?
00:51:59Even for a second. I do not love a woman like you. You always put money before your man.
00:52:07Use any tactic you want, Vesper Brown, but never run away from home again. That is my warning.
00:52:18Jesus, you scared me. What are you doing here? How do you like a ghost? Everyone should be at the
00:52:22ceremony right now. You're Mr. Ronald's son, the one who's been funding us to go to school here?
00:52:28Yes, but you haven't answered my question. I just, I don't really like crowds. Me too.
00:52:37Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Vesper.
00:52:45You hungry?
00:52:48Let me make some black truffle pasta for you.
00:53:02Come in there. Come on out.
00:53:05Come in there. Come on out.
00:53:19It was all your fault, Vesper. You made me hate you. You better not try to escape.
00:53:35The baby is healthy.
00:53:39And you should be getting plenty of rest.
00:53:42Thank you, doctor. I'll make sure to take good care of the baby.
00:53:51Hello?
00:53:52Where are you? Come back now. I have something to get you.
00:53:56Put on this gown and come with me to the charity banquet tonight.
00:54:00No, that's going to be way too tight.
00:54:02Don't push my buttons, Vesper.
00:54:06I can't wear anything too tight right now because I...
00:54:08You know, you've been really out of line recently.
00:54:10This is my order. Do not waste my time.
00:54:12I'm not one of your gang members.
00:54:14I'm sorry for wasting your time.
00:54:16Don't worry, I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:54:18I'm sorry.
00:54:20I'm sorry.
00:54:22I'm sorry.
00:54:25I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:54:27Oh, you won't leave again, do you?
00:54:31I bought a million dollar check.
00:54:37Still leaving?
00:54:39Put on the gown. I don't want to hear another word.
00:54:45Would that much of a gold digger up to you, Raymond?
00:54:49Don't worry. The baby and I won't put up with you any longer.
00:54:51I'm definitely leaving after this banquet's over.
00:54:55I'm sorry.
00:55:11I'm just...
00:55:19Boss, secret gang meeting.
00:55:21Just like last time.
00:55:25Okay.
00:55:35Hi, Raymond.
00:55:37It's been a long time.
00:55:39When are you free? We can have the engagement ceremony.
00:55:43Miss Wood.
00:55:45Hasn't your father already told you?
00:55:49I rejected the offer of marriage.
00:55:51I already have a woman.
00:55:55By the way,
00:55:57I don't even think your father would interrupt a suit.
00:55:59I think it's wise you leave.
00:56:11It's Lockwood, not Wood.
00:56:13I've liked him for years
00:56:15but he can't even remember my last name.
00:56:17It's you.
00:56:19How come you're here?
00:56:21Good grades at school don't get you into exclusive places
00:56:24like this, unfortunately.
00:56:26It's none of your business.
00:56:28Why are you here?
00:56:30My fiancé, Raymond, asked me to come.
00:56:32You're lying.
00:56:34I'm not. He's going to marry me.
00:56:36End of story.
00:56:44Raymond?
00:56:50Raymond?
00:56:53Miss?
00:56:55Miss?
00:56:57Are you okay?
00:56:59I'm going to call an ambulance.
00:57:03Thank you, Joe.
00:57:05Appreciate the business.
00:57:07Boss, bad news.
00:57:09Miss Brown isn't answering our calls.
00:57:11She's gone missing.
00:57:13Again?
00:57:15Cancel the banquet.
00:57:17We're going home to look for her right now.
00:57:19Yes, sir.
00:57:22Boss, is Miss Brown really in it for the money?
00:57:24What do you mean?
00:57:26I mean, if she was,
00:57:28she should have taken a check.
00:57:32Again with the black chocolate pasta?
00:57:34Why not try something new?
00:57:36Too much black chocolate pasta can be boring sometimes.
00:57:38Then don't eat it.
00:57:40No, it's fine.
00:57:42It'll do.
00:57:44Frank.
00:57:46Put all in metal piler.
00:57:48We need to find her.
00:57:51Boss.
00:57:53They found Miss Brown.
00:57:55She's at St. Thomas Hospital.
00:57:57They say somebody pushed her down the stairs.
00:57:59She's badly hurt.
00:58:05Vesper, please, stay strong.
00:58:07I'll kill Vesper if you hurt her.
00:58:13Doctor, save my baby.
00:58:15Calm down.
00:58:17Both of you are going to be okay.
00:58:20We'll do our best.
00:58:22Prepare for surgery.
00:58:26Raymond, if I have a miscarriage,
00:58:28would you be sad?
00:58:50Doctor.
00:59:10Vesper?
00:59:12Are you okay?
00:59:14The procedure isn't over yet.
00:59:16You can't be in here.
00:59:19You and your baby are out of danger for now.
00:59:21The surgery worked.
00:59:25I'm going to go and talk to your family now.
00:59:27No, Doctor.
00:59:29Please, keep my secret.
00:59:31Don't tell anyone that my baby is still alive.
00:59:33Why?
00:59:35No, your family deserves to know
00:59:37that this baby is safe.
00:59:39He's not my husband.
00:59:41Raymond is a powerful man.
00:59:45So if someone finds out,
00:59:48it will hurt my child.
00:59:50Trust a mother's instinct.
00:59:54Doctor, please.
01:00:06Doctor, is she okay?
01:00:08What happened to her?
01:00:10You didn't know that.
01:00:12She was 14 weeks pregnant.
01:00:14Why?
01:00:17So she had a miscarriage.
01:00:35Who am I to stand in your way?
01:00:37A contract lover
01:00:39shouldn't meddle with your affairs.
01:00:41Don't embarrass me.
01:00:44No, Raymond!
01:00:46Is there anything you want to tell me?
01:00:48Anything important?
01:00:50Did you ever love me, Raymond?
01:00:52Even for a second?
01:00:54I do not love a woman like you.
01:01:10Who exactly pushed her down the stairs?
01:01:13Miss Brown knows that, boss.
01:01:15I've got my people looking into it.
01:01:17That murderer will die with my child.
01:01:35Hey.
01:01:37Hi.
01:01:39You okay?
01:01:42Thanks.
01:01:44That's fair.
01:01:46Why didn't you tell me about the pregnancy?
01:01:48Is this your way of revenge?
01:01:58Is this your way of revenge?
01:02:00Revenge?
01:02:02Raymond, if I told you,
01:02:04you would have thought I was asking for more money.
01:02:06What?
01:02:08No.
01:02:11Tell me who pushed you down the stairs.
01:02:15Okay, boss. I got it.
01:02:17The perpetrator was Bonnie Lockwood.
01:02:19Somebody saw her.
01:02:21Exactly.
01:02:23It's her fiancé from the Good family.
01:02:31Don't worry, Miss Brown.
01:02:33The boss said he'll take care of her.
01:02:35He'll take revenge for the baby.
01:02:37Would he kill her?
01:02:40I'm sorry, sister.
01:02:42It's all my fault.
01:02:44If you knew how much I love you,
01:02:46even you would be scared.
01:02:48Boss, we got Bonnie Lockwood.
01:02:56Bonnie Lockwood.
01:02:58You hurt my woman,
01:03:00causing her to lose my baby.
01:03:04For this,
01:03:06you will beg for mercy.
01:03:09And if it is good enough,
01:03:11I'll consider sparing you a suffering death.
01:03:17You?
01:03:19How could it be you?
01:03:21How could a poor, lonely bitch like you
01:03:23be his girlfriend?
01:03:25I don't think you've understood.
01:03:27Say sorry for a lost baby now.
01:03:29Raymond.
01:03:32Don't.
01:03:34Why?
01:03:36Don't you want to avenge our child?
01:03:38I do, but...
01:03:40Vesper, you shouldn't make me like this.
01:03:42Jesus won't be able to save you, I swear.
01:03:44You're going to kill Bonnie
01:03:46for a mistress?
01:03:48Grandma, help.
01:03:50Grandma, why did you come back?
01:03:52If I didn't come back,
01:03:54you'd turn the Hell Gang into a hell show.
01:03:56No.
01:03:58No, don't, Grandma.
01:04:01I have no interest in knowing your mistress.
01:04:03Bonnie is important.
01:04:05The Lockwoods helped the Hell Gang
01:04:0730 years ago.
01:04:09So we arranged a marriage between you and Bonnie.
01:04:11No.
01:04:13And there is nothing you can do about it.
01:04:15No, I'm not going to marry this woman.
01:04:17Frank, take this mistress back to the hospital.
01:04:19Now.
01:04:21The families need to talk.
01:04:25Bonnie, come on.
01:04:27Tell him what you told me.
01:04:30Raymond, I don't blame you for being Vesper.
01:04:32I swear.
01:04:34Do you want to know a secret?
01:04:36Vesper is an old classmate of mine,
01:04:38and years ago she sold herself to her sugar daddy
01:04:40to pay for her father's medical bills.
01:04:42You're not the only man in the future.
01:04:50What?
01:04:52You told my dad I was here?
01:04:54Clara, my dad can't find out
01:04:56that I'm being a contract lover
01:04:59to the boss of Hell Gang,
01:05:01or that I'm pregnant.
01:05:03Are you crazy?
01:05:05Don't worry.
01:05:07Of course he didn't say anything.
01:05:09But he was in a rush after he heard
01:05:11that you fell from the stairs.
01:05:13How could I stop a father
01:05:15from visiting his daughter in the hospital?
01:05:17I just hope my dad doesn't run into Raymond
01:05:19or his grandma.
01:05:21It'll all be over otherwise.
01:05:23My dad might even get humiliated
01:05:25by Raymond's grandma.
01:05:28I'll still leave it back to the villa.
01:05:30I'll make sure to get everything she needs.
01:05:32Maybe she's right, Frank.
01:05:36Maybe she didn't take the check
01:05:38because she's getting more checks from someone else.
01:05:40Probably that old sugar daddy.
01:05:44Let me go.
01:05:54Who is he? Tell me!
01:05:56Who am I? I'm her...
01:05:58Stop! Both of you! Raymond, I can't introduce you yet.
01:06:00Get out!
01:06:02Restrain him.
01:06:04No. What the hell are you doing?
01:06:06No! Let go of him!
01:06:08I catch you both red-handed
01:06:10and you're still making excuses.
01:06:12You really are a great woman, Prescott.
01:06:14What the hell are you talking about?
01:06:16Raymond, let's just go and I can explain.
01:06:18You care about me so much and you're protecting him.
01:06:20Just tell me who he is.
01:06:22Shut up, please.
01:06:25This is your last chance, okay?
01:06:27Let's get out and talk.
01:06:29Let's see how much you love your sugar daddy.
01:06:31Come off his hands!
01:06:33No! Dad!
01:06:35What?
01:06:37This is my dad, Jake.
01:06:39Not some old sugar daddy.
01:06:41You asshole!
01:06:45Excuse me, Mr. Brown.
01:06:47Dad, don't be mad.
01:06:49These are just my friends.
01:06:51Friends?
01:06:54Do you really believe
01:06:56I think these are your friends?
01:06:58Please, can you just give me a minute?
01:07:08Look, I'm sorry.
01:07:10I didn't know that was your real father.
01:07:12Look,
01:07:14I can forgive you,
01:07:16but you have to do me a favor.
01:07:20Okay.
01:07:23What is it?
01:07:25Never let my dad find out
01:07:27that I'm being a contract lover
01:07:29or that you're the boss
01:07:31of Hell Bay.
01:07:33Raymond,
01:07:35I need you
01:07:37to pretend to be my boyfriend
01:07:39in front of him.
01:07:41Boyfriend?
01:07:43God, yeah!
01:07:45It's like a normal kind of relationship.
01:07:47Raymond,
01:07:49pretend
01:07:52pretend
01:07:54that we love each other.
01:07:58Okay.
01:08:06Okay, I can do that,
01:08:08but are you going to pretend to love me?
01:08:10You're sure enough good at acting as it is already.
01:08:12Yes, ma'am.
01:08:14Same goes for you, Raymond.
01:08:16What?
01:08:18You're engaged to Bonnie Locke.
01:08:21Are you engaged with him?
01:08:23Where is he?
01:08:25Why hasn't he come to visit you yet?
01:08:27You're a psycho!
01:08:29That's right, Jake just left.
01:08:31Why?
01:08:33He said it doesn't matter what type of relationship
01:08:35you have with Raymond.
01:08:37If he loves you,
01:08:39he has to pay an official visit to his house.
01:08:41But if he doesn't,
01:08:43you're never ever allowed to see him ever again.
01:08:45Yeah, that's dad's style.
01:08:47It's all right.
01:08:49We don't have to pretend to be a couple anymore.
01:08:55I know the location of Mr. Brown's house.
01:08:57Let's get some gifts.
01:09:03There you go.
01:09:05Tea, no sugar.
01:09:07Thank you, Mr. Brown.
01:09:09So,
01:09:11tell me, Mr. Ronald,
01:09:13what exactly do you do for work?
01:09:15Well, I...
01:09:17Why are you here?
01:09:19I...
01:09:21Sorry, Jake left his watch at Frank's
01:09:23and I came by to give it back to him.
01:09:25How are you
01:09:27out of the hospital so soon?
01:09:29Did the doctor let you out?
01:09:31Yeah, I just came back to grab a few things.
01:09:33But you guys?
01:09:35What are you talking about?
01:09:37Well, sweetheart,
01:09:39I was just telling your boyfriend
01:09:41how wonderful you are.
01:09:43Yeah, my girlfriend is not only
01:09:45but also very, very caring for her father.
01:09:47Yes, she does.
01:09:49You know, three years ago, I was very sick.
01:09:51I needed $100,000 for surgery.
01:09:53We didn't have the money,
01:09:55so Vesper went out
01:09:57begging for it.
01:09:59Wait, $100,000?
01:10:01That was for your dad's medical bills.
01:10:07I don't want to learn to swim.
01:10:09I want to go to the cinema with Uncle Carlton.
01:10:11There are other showings at the cinema.
01:10:13The swimming lessons only start at 3.
01:10:15Okay, Hugo?
01:10:17And by the way,
01:10:19don't keep making movie dates with Uncle Carlton.
01:10:21He won't bother Daniel.
01:10:23Why? I want to pretend he's my dad in front of all my classmates.
01:10:29Hey, Hugo!
01:10:31Give me a hug.
01:10:35This is for you, buddy.
01:10:37Is it really a bother if you go to the movies with him again?
01:10:39No, I've been taking care of him for nine years.
01:10:41A few movie dates is not a problem.
01:10:43I know, you've always been so nice to us.
01:10:45But I can earn money myself.
01:10:47Look, I've done a great job with Hugo.
01:10:49Of course.
01:10:51And hey, I heard that you got another award for one of your designs
01:10:53and got an offer from a big company.
01:10:55You deserve it, Vesper.
01:10:57Jake must be proud.
01:10:59He is.
01:11:01I went and visited him at the nursing home the other day.
01:11:03He was glad.
01:11:05Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!
01:11:07Let's go see him.
01:11:11Let's go.
01:11:25I'll go search for her on my own next week.
01:11:27But boss, you have an important trip next week.
01:11:29You're supposed to inspect our branch in Miami.
01:11:31Reschedule the inspection for tomorrow.
01:11:33I'll search for her along this coast.
01:11:35I'll see you this evening.
01:11:37Yes, sir.
01:11:41Okay.
01:12:01Hi, I'm Vesper Brown.
01:12:03I'm the new designer here.
01:12:05Check in over there.
01:12:11Fill out the form inside.
01:12:17Yes.
01:12:19Grandma, we just arrived.
01:12:21No, I'm not here to find her.
01:12:23I'm here to inspect a new company.
01:12:25What?
01:12:27The engagements of Bonnie...
01:12:29No, no, no. I can't hear you right now. I'm going to hang up.
01:12:35Boss, why did you hide your true identity for the company inspection?
01:12:37Do you not want them to give you a tour?
01:12:39River is a large company we just acquired.
01:12:41I want to get a feel of how they've been operating.
01:12:43I see.
01:12:49From Mr. Rump.
01:12:51Investments Incorporation?
01:12:53Yes.
01:12:55Follow me.
01:13:09Hey, baby.
01:13:11Can you wait a bit longer in the lobby for me?
01:13:13I'll be out in a bit.
01:13:19Hey!
01:13:21Stop!
01:13:23My guy's picking on him.
01:13:25He's a freak.
01:13:27Has no dad. Who are you?
01:13:29Oh yeah? I'm his dad.
01:13:31And this is my thug.
01:13:33If we catch you two picking on him again,
01:13:35he will put you in jail.
01:13:37If we catch you two picking on him again,
01:13:39he will put you in your place.
01:13:41Look, there's a bird!
01:13:43It's an owl!
01:13:47Thank you. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
01:13:49I'm Hugo.
01:13:57It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
01:13:59I'm Hugo.
01:14:03It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
01:14:05I'm Desperate.
01:14:13Sir?
01:14:15Yeah, great to meet you.
01:14:17I'm Raymond, and this is Frank.
01:14:21What are you doing here?
01:14:23My mom works in that office.
01:14:25I'm waiting for her.
01:14:29Raymond,
01:14:31is it okay if I introduce you guys to my mom?
01:14:33It would be a pleasure for her to meet my friends.
01:14:35Sure.
01:14:37Yeah, no problem.
01:14:39Your mom sounds great.
01:14:41I mean, moms are great people.
01:14:43She is, mom.
01:14:47Come on.
01:14:49Alright.
01:14:59Are you Desperate Brown?
01:15:01The girl who won first place in the Sun Awards?
01:15:03Yeah, it's nice to meet you.
01:15:05Sorry.
01:15:07I didn't mean it.
01:15:09I guess your reflexes aren't as good as your drawings.
01:15:11You know, good design skills
01:15:13are not everything here at River.
01:15:15Don't bully my mom!
01:15:19It's okay, baby.
01:15:21So what? Am I not qualified to work here?
01:15:23You're just like many of the poor girls coming here,
01:15:25looking for glory.
01:15:27Just another shameless slut.
01:15:31What?
01:15:45Let go of me!
01:15:47Who the hell are you?
01:15:49Did you get a place in the Sun Awards too?
01:15:51Frank?
01:15:53Good, Bill. Let's see exactly what's going on here.
01:15:55Got it.
01:15:57Bill, I'm the RCEO.
01:15:59Why did you stand up for her?
01:16:01She's my wife.
01:16:05Bill.
01:16:07President Ronald, why'd you send the phones over your way?
01:16:09Well, this is my wife
01:16:11and it appears that she's being bullied by one of my employees.
01:16:15Is this how you come to contribute?
01:16:17Bill.
01:16:19You know, I apologize.
01:16:21I'm so sorry.
01:16:23Cora, I can't believe you're fired.
01:16:25You hacky things.
01:16:27You're fired.
