00:00:00Noah, darling, this is your birthday present.
00:00:18It's a matched pair, one for you and one for me.
00:00:23Do you like it?
00:00:26Thanks, Mom.
00:00:27But my friends at school said on birthdays, you eat birthday cake, you blow out candles,
00:00:32and you make a wish.
00:00:33Can I have my birthday cake, please?
00:00:34Pretty, please?
00:00:35Hold these for me, baby.
00:00:36I'll get you a cake, okay?
00:00:37I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, but I have to go to the bathroom, and I have to
00:01:04go to the bathroom.
00:01:05I'll be right back.
00:01:06Hi, there.
00:01:07What kind of cake are you looking for?
00:01:08Do you have anything that's more affordable?
00:01:09This is a gourmet patisserie.
00:01:10If you want something cheaper, just go to the deli next door.
00:01:11Okay.
00:01:13Hey, Noah.
00:01:14Noah, I'm sorry.
00:01:15I didn't mean to bother you, but I have to go to the bathroom, and I have to go to the
00:01:16bathroom.
00:01:17I'm sorry.
00:01:18I'm sorry.
00:01:19I didn't mean to bother you.
00:01:20I'm sorry.
00:01:21I'm sorry.
00:01:22I'm sorry.
00:01:23I'm sorry.
00:01:24I'm sorry.
00:01:25I'm sorry.
00:01:26I'm sorry.
00:01:27I'm sorry.
00:01:28I'm sorry.
00:01:29I'm sorry.
00:01:30I'm sorry.
00:01:31I'm sorry.
00:01:32I'm sorry.
00:01:34I'm sorry.
00:01:35I'm sorry.
00:01:36I'm sorry.
00:01:37I'm sorry.
00:01:38I'm sorry.
00:01:39I'm sorry.
00:01:40I'm sorry.
00:01:41I'm sorry.
00:01:42I'm sorry.
00:01:43I'm sorry.
00:01:44I'm sorry.
00:01:45I'm sorry.
00:01:46I'm sorry.
00:01:47I'm sorry.
00:01:48I'm sorry.
00:01:49I'm sorry.
00:01:50I'm sorry.
00:01:51I'm sorry.
00:01:52I'm sorry.
00:01:53I'm sorry.
00:01:54I'm sorry.
00:01:55I'm sorry.
00:01:56I'm sorry.
00:01:57I'm sorry.
00:01:58I'm sorry.
00:01:59I'm sorry.
00:02:00I'm sorry.
00:02:01I'm sorry.
00:02:02I'm sorry.
00:02:03Noah, I got you a cape.
00:02:05Noah?
00:02:09Noah?
00:02:11Noah?
00:02:13Noah!
00:02:15Noah!
00:02:24Doctor.
00:02:25How is he?
00:02:26The boy is severely injured.
00:02:28He needs a specialist.
00:02:30If you can get him to a bigger hospital, he might still have a chance.
00:02:34Call the helicopter.
00:02:35Now.
00:02:47You're gonna be okay, buddy.
00:02:54Adam.
00:02:55Noah's missing.
00:02:56What?
00:02:57What are we gonna do?
00:02:58What?
00:03:00I don't know.
00:03:31Mr. Brown?
00:03:32It's time for your medicine.
00:03:43Noah.
00:03:44The Brown group is gonna be in your hands from now on.
00:03:47It's time for me to retire.
00:03:49Don't worry, Dad.
00:03:50You just focus on recovery.
00:03:52Mapletown is gonna be your first project without me.
00:03:55Don't worry about it.
00:03:56I won't let you down.
00:03:58Don't worry about it.
00:03:59I won't let you down.
00:04:00I promise.
00:04:01Why don't you take Sophia with you?
00:04:03Spend some time down there.
00:04:05Might be nice for you to reconnect with your hometown.
00:04:21Noah, this is your birthday present.
00:04:24It's a matched pair.
00:04:26One for you and one for me.
00:04:38Your pay.
00:04:39Oh, thank you.
00:04:40Don't come in tomorrow.
00:04:42Why?
00:04:43Why?
00:04:44Because you keep asking everyone if they've seen your missing son.
00:04:48Do you know how annoying that is?
00:04:50People come here to have a good time.
00:04:53You're ruining my business.
00:04:54I'm sorry.
00:04:55I couldn't help myself.
00:04:56If you could just understand.
00:05:05Noah?
00:05:06Where are you?
00:05:08I miss you so much.
00:05:10Mia, great news for you.
00:05:12Is it about Noah?
00:05:13Noah?
00:05:14Obviously not.
00:05:16The Brown Group wants to buy your land.
00:05:18They're offering you five mil.
00:05:21Isn't that amazing?
00:05:23Wait.
00:05:24You mean someone's going to tear down my house?
00:05:29It's called a relocation package.
00:05:32You and Adam have been scraping by for decades.
00:05:35Now you can enjoy your retired life.
00:05:37No, we absolutely will not let go of our land.
00:05:40If the house is gone, when he comes back, he won't know where to find it.
00:05:44No one will take our house.
00:05:54Welcome to Mapletown, Mr. President.
00:05:57The land acquisition for this site is almost complete,
00:06:00except for one stubborn household.
00:06:02But if you'd like, I could have my men knock some sense into them.
00:06:07When has the Brown Group ever condoned physical violence?
00:06:14I'm sorry.
00:06:15I'm sorry.
00:06:16I'm sorry.
00:06:17I'm sorry.
00:06:18I'm sorry.
00:06:19I'm sorry.
00:06:20I'm sorry.
00:06:21I'm sorry.
00:06:23I'm sorry.
00:06:26Who's that poor lady over there?
00:06:28Don't worry about that.
00:06:29I can have my guards slip her a few bucks.
00:06:31Please, head out to the projects I don't want to see.
00:06:51Today's a huge day.
00:06:52The new president of the Brown Group is coming to Mapletown for their big project.
00:06:56You loitering out here?
00:06:57Do you want me to lose my job?
00:06:59Henry, I'm sorry.
00:07:00I didn't know you were working here.
00:07:02Fed up with you and Uncle Adam coming to my parents for handouts.
00:07:06My dad's a younger sibling.
00:07:08Do you think just because you lost your child, people will give you sympathy?
00:07:11Did you forget you're the one who lost him?
00:07:13I didn't lose him on purpose.
00:07:15It was an accident.
00:07:16Whatever.
00:07:17Maybe the kid is better off without you and deadbeat Uncle Adam.
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:22Seriously.
00:07:23We'd want to be born into your family.
00:07:26Get lost.
00:07:32Noah.
00:07:37Noah.
00:07:40It's your 28th birthday today.
00:07:44Where are you?
00:07:49Yes, Adam.
00:07:50It's Noah's birthday today.
00:07:52Yes, we should celebrate.
00:07:54I'm coming home right now.
00:08:02Poor lady.
00:08:03Doesn't she have any children to take care of?
00:08:06See if there's anything we can do for that lady.
00:08:08Of course, Mr. Brown.
00:08:09I'll have someone grab the security footage in town and find out who she is.
00:08:13I'm going to head to the construction site.
00:08:15If you find anything out, make sure I'm the first to know.
00:08:31Mom?
00:08:32Dad?
00:08:33Are you still here?
00:08:34I hope you're doing all right.
00:08:35I wonder if I'll be able to find you.
00:08:36Hi.
00:08:37Any news about Noah this time?
00:08:38No.
00:08:39No.
00:08:40No.
00:08:41No.
00:08:42No.
00:08:43No.
00:08:44No.
00:08:45No.
00:08:46No.
00:08:47No.
00:08:48No.
00:08:49No.
00:08:50No.
00:08:51No.
00:08:52No.
00:08:53No.
00:08:54No.
00:08:55No.
00:08:56No.
00:08:57No.
00:08:58No.
00:08:59No.
00:09:01No.
00:09:04Twenty-eight.
00:09:06All grown up now.
00:09:09Who knows, maybe he's on his way back to us right now for his birthday.
00:09:12You're right.
00:09:15He's all grown up.
00:09:16Maybe he's already married with a wife and children of his own.
00:09:21Don't cry, Mia.
00:09:22I'll find Noah if I've got to search every square inch of this country.
00:09:25of this country.
00:09:28By the way, Zoe called.
00:09:29She said she's bringing Henry for dinner tonight.
00:09:32Gosh.
00:09:33Is it because of my run-in with Henry?
00:09:35I hope he's not still mad at me.
00:09:38They haven't been to visit us in ages.
00:09:39I should prepare something good for dinner.
00:09:42I think we saved up for a huge cake this year.
00:09:44All of Noah's favorite food.
00:10:09This must be them.
00:10:15I don't want to alarm the people working on the ground.
00:10:19Understood, sir.
00:10:20It is a construction site, after all.
00:10:22And where is the family that is refusing our deal to move out?
00:10:29Well, their nephew works at the local branch here,
00:10:33and he's offered to give it a shot at convincing them.
00:10:36Well, we'll let him try.
00:10:37You want to take a look around?
00:10:39If you learn anything, keep me posted.
00:10:41Yes, sir.
00:10:44This place feels so familiar.
00:11:15Ah, Zoe.
00:11:18It's been a while.
00:11:19Please come in.
00:11:20Have a seat.
00:11:21Sit where?
00:11:22Your place is so cramped, I can't even step my foot in.
00:11:26Instant mac and cheese?
00:11:29Frozen pizza?
00:11:31You invite us to your home, and you don't even have a proper entree?
00:11:35Well, you know, we're simple folk.
00:11:37And birthdays are about the cake, anyway.
00:11:39Nobody cares about your stupid cake!
00:11:41We're here because Henry wants to talk about your land.
00:11:48My company really needs you guys out of here.
00:11:51Just sign the contract already.
00:11:57My company really needs you guys out of here.
00:12:00Just sign the contract already.
00:12:02You'll get the five million you're asking for.
00:12:04My company really needs you guys out of here.
00:12:06Just sign the contract already.
00:12:08You'll get the five million you're asking for.
00:12:10No, we won't sign.
00:12:12This is Noah's home.
00:12:14If you guys demolish it, he won't know where to find us.
00:12:17We won't sign.
00:12:19Zoe, I know we're not blood related, but I'm your brother-in-law.
00:12:23Please, respect us.
00:12:24Are you nuts?
00:12:25What's the point of holding on to this dump?
00:12:28Five million dollars?
00:12:31Have you ever seen that much money in your life?
00:12:33You could buy a European villa and retire in luxury.
00:12:36Don't be stupid.
00:12:38We don't want money.
00:12:40We just want to find our son.
00:12:42Find your son?
00:12:43You've been searching for decades and came up with nothing.
00:12:46Get your head out of the clouds.
00:12:48Wake up!
00:12:49I hate to break it to you, but some people just aren't meant to have children.
00:12:54Noah will come back!
00:12:56Get out!
00:12:57Get out, all of you!
00:12:58You're not welcome in our home!
00:13:00You think we want to visit this trashy place?
00:13:03Look around!
00:13:04Even if you did find your son, what would he think of you as his parents?
00:13:08Don't waste your breath on them, Mom.
00:13:10I'm asking you one last time.
00:13:13Are you signing the contract or not?
00:13:15We won't sign!
00:13:16We will never sign!
00:13:17You ungrateful old bitch!
00:13:22You've gone too far, son.
00:13:26So what if I hit you two old beggars?
00:13:28You think I'd set foot in this pigsty you call a home if it weren't for business?
00:13:32You're really getting on my nerves.
00:13:35I want to teach you a lesson.
00:13:38Stop!
00:13:43Stop!
00:13:45What's this construction worker doing here?
00:13:47You're here to butt in.
00:13:48Maybe I'll teach you a lesson next.
00:13:50How bold.
00:13:52You should know the Brown Group doesn't condone violent evictions,
00:13:55not to mention you breaking the law.
00:13:57Whoever you are, my true business.
00:14:02I'll do you both justice.
00:14:03And as far as the acquisition of your land, I'll handle any complaints myself.
00:14:08Young man, you seem like a reasonable person.
00:14:12Could you talk to your company about leaving our house alone?
00:14:16Yes, please. We don't want it destroyed.
00:14:18Our son went missing when he was little.
00:14:21He's been lost for 20 years.
00:14:24We want to stay here and wait for him to come back.
00:14:27Did you say 20 years?
00:14:29I'm begging you.
00:14:30This house is our last hope of finding our son.
00:14:34What? What is that?
00:14:38I gave a matching one to our son.
00:14:54Mom? Dad?
00:14:56Noah!
00:14:58My son!
00:15:01I must be dreaming.
00:15:02Noah, you're back!
00:15:04I'm so sorry. I tried to look for you guys for so long,
00:15:06but I couldn't find you and I made you wait for me all this year.
00:15:09It's alright.
00:15:10Just having you back means the world to us.
00:15:13Zoe, Henry, look! It's Noah! He's back!
00:15:17Take care of you for the rest of your lives?
00:15:21Sounds like an empty promise from a broke man.
00:15:24Dream on, kid.
00:15:27Adam, I don't mean to be rude,
00:15:30but your long-lost son is just some kind of menial worker.
00:15:35What's there to be so happy about?
00:15:37That's right.
00:15:39Actually, you're back here just in time.
00:15:42Talk some sense into your dumb parents and get them to sell us their land.
00:15:46This is a brown group project.
00:15:48If you offend them, your entire family will be doomed.
00:15:53Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:15:55What did you just say to me?
00:16:02Like father, like son.
00:16:04A worthless loser.
00:16:06Why did he even bother coming back?
00:16:08He might as well have just died out there.
00:16:10Twenty years of searching just to find this useless boy?
00:16:14What a joke!
00:16:15We don't care what you think as long as our son's back.
00:16:19You've starved to the bone looking for him just to find him penniless like you.
00:16:24What's next? A family dumpster diving trip?
00:16:29Our Henry is the department manager at Brown Group's Mapletown branch.
00:16:34He makes 300k a year.
00:16:37Even copy I, headquarters general manager, William Marlowe.
00:16:42This is his girlfriend, William's assistant.
00:16:45Why not let Henry take care of your worthless child?
00:16:49He could get him a job at the company.
00:16:51Get him off of a construction site.
00:16:55Oh mom, you want me to help him?
00:16:58Sure I will.
00:17:00If you beg for it.
00:17:02Like a dog.
00:17:04Come on, entertain me and I'll consider.
00:17:07What did you say?
00:17:09Woof, woof.
00:17:12Are you deaf?
00:17:13Tell your son to get down on all fours and beg like a dog.
00:17:18Then he'll get a job.
00:17:20We're really doing you a favor.
00:17:22You want me to get on all fours and beg?
00:17:25Who do you think you are?
00:17:31Oh, you think you're too good for it.
00:17:34If you were in family I wouldn't even consider it.
00:17:36My son is being so gracious to your worthless child.
00:17:39And you're still unhappy.
00:17:41Look around.
00:17:42You're living in squalor.
00:17:44Noah just got back.
00:17:45Let's not make this a bigger fuss.
00:17:47So we don't let business ruin the happy occasion of the day.
00:17:54Let's just all sit down and enjoy dinner.
00:17:57How is this a happy occasion?
00:17:59Your useless boy coming back has nothing to do with us.
00:18:03Here Henry, have some cake.
00:18:05It's delicious.
00:18:06I remember you always had a sweet tooth growing up.
00:18:11I wouldn't even feed this stale cake to our dog.
00:18:15You want me to eat it?
00:18:18Henry, how could you?
00:18:19We prepared that with kindness.
00:18:21You've gone too far.
00:18:22Too far?
00:18:23There's a lot more where that came from if you don't sign this contract right now.
00:18:31And this is me being polite to you two old fools.
00:18:34Just wait till my girlfriend gets here.
00:18:36All the begging won't win her any mercy.
00:18:39Dad, are you okay?
00:18:41I want you out of my house.
00:18:43You're not welcome here.
00:18:44This is a family reunion.
00:18:46We don't need it to be ruined by you.
00:18:48So get down on your knees and lick up every crumb you've spilled.
00:18:51Apologize to my parents and get out.
00:18:56Are you out of your mind?
00:18:58Do you have any idea how high up I am at the brown group?
00:19:01You want me to lick food off the floor?
00:19:03Who do you think you are?
00:19:07Apologize now!
00:19:09You idiot.
00:19:10I showed you enough mercy and this is how you return the favor?
00:19:13You'll pay for it.
00:19:17Honey, these geriatrics won't sign the papers when that bastard hit me.
00:19:22Hurry up and get your people over here, now.
00:19:25I'm ready to end up on the streets, scum.
00:19:29William Marlowe has given the order.
00:19:31This dump must be demolished.
00:19:33Today.
00:19:34William Marlowe?
00:19:36Oh, is he the leader of your band of monkeys?
00:19:39Don't you dare speak of him that way.
00:19:41I'll call William and see how he handles it himself.
00:19:47William, you have one minute to get over here, right now.
00:19:55Mr. Brown, how can I help you?
00:19:57William, you have one minute to get over here, right now.
00:20:00What?
00:20:02Holy crap.
00:20:04Why is Mr. President mad at me? I have to fix this, right now.
00:20:11You're finally here.
00:20:13I worked out such a generous deal for these two old foos, but they refused to sign the papers.
00:20:17And their bastard hit me.
00:20:19You dare hit my Henry?
00:20:21What, should I have made an appointment?
00:20:23Sweetheart, you're in Mapletown, Brown Group's territory.
00:20:27Cross any one of us, you're dead.
00:20:29What are you waiting for? Seize him.
00:20:33Let me find out where he gets his nerves.
00:20:39Oh, you're the one with nerve.
00:20:41Just an assistant to William Marlowe and acting like you can boss people around with force.
00:20:45Does William train all of his subordinates like this?
00:20:47A lowly construction worker like you thinks he can lecture Mr. Marlowe.
00:20:52Acting like he's a friend.
00:20:54Pathetic.
00:20:56Guards, teach this scum a lesson.
00:20:59What are you doing? Don't touch my son. Let go of him.
00:21:02You'll regret this.
00:21:03We can beat you half to death.
00:21:05No one's gonna bat an eye.
00:21:07But when William finds out, don't come crawling to me.
00:21:11Acting tough on your last leg?
00:21:13We'll see who's crying when you're locked up in the security office.
00:21:18Mom, Dad, this won't take long. Just wait for me.
00:21:22Won't take long? In your dreams.
00:21:25You'll rot in jail.
00:21:27Let him go!
00:21:34That bastard hit me.
00:21:36He'll get what's coming to him.
00:21:38Watch it, you two old senile fools.
00:21:41Mom, Amanda, let's go.
00:21:48You got this.
00:22:01What's going on here?
00:22:02You must be William Marlowe.
00:22:04Your assistant just took our son.
00:22:06And now you're pretending you had nothing to do with it?
00:22:10Is he a tall, young man wearing a construction jumpsuit?
00:22:15Yes.
00:22:18Oh, no.
00:22:22Oh, Adam. Noah just got back and now he's taken away again.
00:22:28Adam, what are we gonna do?
00:22:30I just remembered.
00:22:32Emily Smith. Noah and she had a marriage pact when they were little.
00:22:36Maybe she can help Noah out.
00:22:38Yeah, but, I mean, that wasn't serious.
00:22:40The Smiths have become the most prestigious family in Maple Town.
00:22:43Why would they bother with us?
00:22:44We have to try.
00:22:46Otherwise, Noah might really be beaten to death, for sure.
00:22:49Okay, okay, I'll get him to help us if I have to get on my knees and beg.
00:22:58What happened, Noah?
00:23:00You were so cocky before.
00:23:02You lost your wind.
00:23:04Now you know what happens when you mess with me.
00:23:07Oh, nothing's gonna happen.
00:23:08No, I hit you because you deserve it.
00:23:10Ha! Keep yapping.
00:23:12You know we're a branch of the Brown Group, the largest business in town?
00:23:16You made a huge mistake.
00:23:19Your whole family's screwed.
00:23:21I'm sorry, Miss Keating, but you're the one who's screwed.
00:23:23And your whole family, too.
00:23:25Even if you got down on your knees and begged for forgiveness,
00:23:28it would be too late for that.
00:23:30Begged? You're out of your mind.
00:23:32Seems like you still don't understand your position, Noah.
00:23:35For the sake of our family, let me peel your eyes open.
00:23:39God damn it, you just don't know your place, do you?
00:23:45No, I'm just reminding you of yours. Is that enough of a wake-up call?
00:23:52You bastard, how can you hit me?
00:23:55You're asking for it.
00:23:58You're the one who's asking for it.
00:24:00Hit my son one more time and I'm gonna...
00:24:05And I'm gonna kill you!
00:24:08No!
00:24:15You son of a bitch! You're done!
00:24:19Security! Get in here! Beat him to a bloody pulp!
00:24:27Amanda, whom are you beating to a bloody pulp?
00:24:32Mom, this is William Marlowe.
00:24:35Mr. Marlowe, thank goodness you're here.
00:24:38A moment too late and this, good for nothing, would have assaulted me.
00:24:42Mr. Marlowe, won't you make this right?
00:24:45What exactly happened here?
00:24:47It's all this jerk's fault.
00:24:49We tried to negotiate peacefully, but he barged in,
00:24:52attacked us, and demanded we beg forgiveness from him.
00:24:55You gotta give him what he deserves.
00:24:58You gotta give him what he deserves.
00:25:00I told you, if you hit me, you won't be able to pay the price.
00:25:05Idiot! You're the one who has to pay!
00:25:08Don't even try to defend yourself!
00:25:10I don't know what I did wrong!
00:25:12You have the audacity to ask me?
00:25:14Mr. Marlowe, maybe there's been a misunderstanding.
00:25:17A misunderstanding? How dare you?
00:25:23Do you even know who he is?
00:25:25He's just a construction worker!
00:25:27His parents are wallowing in poverty and won't get out of their hovel.
00:25:31They're just trying to squeeze more money out of us.
00:25:33Shut up, you ignorant fool!
00:25:35Get out of my sight!
00:25:37Please, Mr. Brown, forgive my tardiness.
00:25:39I'll accept any punishment you deem appropriate.
00:25:43He's the president of Brown Group?
00:25:46Mr. Marlowe, you must be mistaken.
00:25:48Look at his grimy clothes!
00:25:50How could he possibly be our president?
00:25:52Shut up!
00:25:53Shut up!
00:25:54A lowly assistant has no right to judge Mr. Brown!
00:25:58Adam's son? The new president?
00:26:01Anderson's are going to be untouchable!
00:26:04Oh, it's all over!
00:26:06We've offended the big boss!
00:26:16William, my man.
00:26:18You certainly have made a mess with your branch office in this town.
00:26:24Evicting with force, detaining without reason, assault.
00:26:29What other skeletons might you be hiding in your closet?
00:26:33I'm sorry, Mr. Brown. I'll discipline the staff.
00:26:36I'll do whatever it takes. I'll take care of this.
00:26:39Take care of this?
00:26:41Oh, no, no. This is one of your highest performing managers
00:26:44and your personal assistant, cream of the crop,
00:26:47that you hand-selected to be on your staff.
00:26:50You're right, Mr. Brown. I take full responsibility.
00:26:53These two will be fired immediately, and I'll turn them into the police.
00:26:57No! Please! Mr. Brown, no! We're cousins!
00:27:01You can forgive family, can't you?
00:27:03I was too blind to see how respectable you've become.
00:27:06Please, have some mercy. We're struggling, too.
00:27:09Your uncle has millions in loans to pay off.
00:27:12Henry can't afford to lose his job, let alone go to jail.
00:27:15Let's keep the peace in the family.
00:27:18You can't be so cruel to your own people, can you?
00:27:22Cruel? What, like the way you treated my parents?
00:27:29Cruel? What, like the way you treated my parents?
00:27:33Mrs. Anderson, you are my father's sister-in-law,
00:27:37and yet you didn't hesitate to call him scum
00:27:40and disregard your husband's family ties.
00:27:43Oh, but now that you know who I am, you're tuned. Chained.
00:27:46And you, cousin, well, you were quick to get your girlfriend
00:27:49to drag me in here for a beating,
00:27:52and now you want to beg for forgiveness.
00:27:54Oh, it's too late for that, don't you think?
00:27:57William, I trust that you will handle these people,
00:28:00but I can't overlook the mess that you've made in this town.
00:28:03I will be sending someone down from HQ to investigate.
00:28:06Don't worry, Mr. Brown. You will have my full cooperation.
00:28:09I'm all in.
00:28:10Mr. Brown, I was misled by Henry.
00:28:13I'll do anything for your forgiveness. Anything.
00:28:21Amanda, what the hell are you doing?
00:28:23What do you think? You ruined my life! Get out of my sight!
00:28:27Please forgive me.
00:28:29If you want to act, find a theater.
00:28:33William, I don't want to see these rotten apples ever again.
00:28:40Sophia, bring the car around. I'm ready to go see my parents.
00:28:43Mr. Brown, your parents have gone to see the Smiths family,
00:28:46one of the most esteemed families in Mapletown.
00:28:48It seems their daughter, Emily Smith, was once promised your hand in marriage.
00:28:53Interesting. Well, let's go pay a visit to the Smiths, then.
00:28:56And prepare a dinner party for them.
00:28:59I want to introduce my family to everyone.
00:29:01Yes, sir.
00:29:02Oh, and send a billion-dollar contract to the Smiths.
00:29:06If she is my fiancee, she should come from the richest family in town.
00:29:10Regardless of if I marry her or not, it's good for us to be sure of it.
00:29:16This is Emily's home?
00:29:20What the hell do you think you're doing here?
00:29:25Spreading rumors that I'm your daughter-in-law?
00:29:28You're looking for trouble.
00:29:31Emily, you can't just go and hit people like that.
00:29:35It's Miss Smith to you, old man.
00:29:38How did you become such a brat?
00:29:41You have no right to judge me.
00:29:44Emily, we came here today to ask you to...
00:29:48To what?
00:29:49Admit that you're the shameless old fool spreading lies that I'm engaged to your non-existent son?
00:29:56Being poor really makes people delude.
00:29:58The betrothal was made by your father and I when you and Noah were children.
00:30:01We never went around bragging about it.
00:30:03So what if you and my father agreed?
00:30:07Look at you.
00:30:08You still think that you're a match for our family?
00:30:11You have it all wrong.
00:30:12We're here today to...
00:30:13You want money.
00:30:15Right.
00:30:16Yeah, okay.
00:30:17Well, lucky for you, I'm in a good mood.
00:30:20Here's a donation.
00:30:23We really didn't come here asking for money.
00:30:25Enough of your bullshit.
00:30:27If you don't leave right now, I'll throw you out myself.
00:30:29I'd like to see you try.
00:30:31Oh, Noah!
00:30:32Oh, you're safe.
00:30:33Oh, they didn't hurt you, did they?
00:30:35I took care of them.
00:30:36Well, well.
00:30:38It isn't the end of the world.
00:30:41It's just the beginning.
00:30:43It's just the beginning.
00:30:45It's just the beginning.
00:30:47It's just the beginning.
00:30:49It's just the beginning.
00:30:51It isn't the Andersons' long-lost child.
00:30:54Now you're back to ride on my family's coattails?
00:30:57In your dreams.
00:30:59And you must be Emily.
00:31:01The one threatening to throw my parents out.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:04So...
00:31:05What?
00:31:07You don't like it?
00:31:10Are you gonna stand up for them?
00:31:12Say that again.
00:31:15Oh, you have the audacity to hit me?
00:31:17You think I'm afraid of you?
00:31:19What are you gonna do about it?
00:31:28Enough.
00:31:29Coward.
00:31:33You think you can lay a hand on me?
00:31:35See if you have the guts to handle what happens next.
00:31:38Oh, you think I'm scared?
00:31:40Scared of what?
00:31:44Baby.
00:31:46Where'd you find this white trash, huh?
00:31:48The new president of the Brown Group is in Mapletown and he's holding a dinner party.
00:31:52Now I heard tell from my father that he's willing to offer the Smiths a billion dollar contract.
00:31:57A billion dollars?
00:31:59A billion dollars.
00:32:00Are you sure?
00:32:01Positive.
00:32:02Our assets are only 300 million right now.
00:32:05But with a billion, we'll be the richest family in town.
00:32:15Come on, gorgeous.
00:32:16I'm William Marlowe's son. You can always count on me.
00:32:19Now let's leave these nobodies behind. We gotta go.
00:32:22Oh, oh, Jack. I'm afraid I can't.
00:32:24Yeah, I have a shameless fiancé forcing me into a marriage.
00:32:30He must have heard that our family struck gold, so he's trying to move job with us.
00:32:35Oh.
00:32:36It's you.
00:32:38The long, long, long lost fiancé, huh?
00:32:43From many years ago.
00:32:45I don't know if the Smiths made it big and want to come back and play son-in-law.
00:32:50You must be William Marlowe's son.
00:32:54You know, it's funny. He would never talk to me that way.
00:32:56So you must have a death wish.
00:33:01Jack, are you okay?
00:33:02You fucking punk.
00:33:04You know who I am, huh?
00:33:06I am the son of the regional manager of the fucking Brown Group.
00:33:10Get your fucking hands off me.
00:33:12Noah, you really are a bold one.
00:33:14You better start begging for forgiveness.
00:33:16You want me to beg?
00:33:18You'd both be sorry.
00:33:22You're just a fucking construction worker.
00:33:25Acting like a big shot.
00:33:27Exactly. Trying to leech off of me?
00:33:30I am so done with all of you.
00:33:32My family is about to be the richest in town while you aren't even fit to shine my shoes.
00:33:38Our engagement is off.
00:33:40A heartless, selfish, gold-digging woman like you would never make a good partner.
00:33:45You insufferable wannabe. Once your plan goes to shit, you just throw it all away?
00:33:48A wannabe? That's ridiculous. I would never choose a vile woman like her.
00:33:53What did you say?
00:33:54Noah, don't be rash. Ending the engagement was a good idea.
00:33:58Now that they have favor with the Brown Group, we'll never measure up.
00:34:01That's right. Listen to your mommy.
00:34:04I don't care about the engagement.
00:34:06My family is too good for yours.
00:34:11You're killing me. Not worthy of you?
00:34:18Look at yourselves.
00:34:21Destitute in rags and acting like some big boss.
00:34:26I'm just stating the facts.
00:34:28Come on, baby. Let's go. These people aren't worth our time.
00:34:32We do have a dinner party to get ready for.
00:34:34We're going to meet the Brown Group president tonight. We've got to get ready.
00:34:38I'm sorry, Noah. It seems like we've done nothing but embarrass you since the moment you got back.
00:34:43But you're a catch. A better girl will come along.
00:34:47I don't care about the engagement, Mom.
00:34:50Look, we're together. That's what's important.
00:34:56The company is throwing a dinner tonight. You should get ready and go.
00:34:59Dinner party? That sounds fancy. Would your dad and I fit in?
00:35:04Yeah, but we don't want to get in the way of you talking business with your colleagues.
00:35:08The party is for us.
00:35:11It's Noah's tree. We should accept it.
00:35:14If it's not too much to ask, could we invite Anna Eleanor and her family?
00:35:19I'm sure they'd be very happy to hear that we finally found you.
00:35:22Of course.
00:35:27Eleanor, guess what?
00:35:34You found Noah.
00:35:35Yes, he came back today. And his colleagues are throwing a party for him.
00:35:40How can you afford a party?
00:35:42Noah is doing well. He's treating us. We'd like you all to join us.
00:35:47All right, all right. We'll be there.
00:35:52Are we seriously going to this thing? Let's go down the list, shall we?
00:35:56They're flat broke. They smell terrible.
00:35:58Agreed.
00:35:59And I bet they can't even put together a decent dinner.
00:36:03Of course we're going.
00:36:05It's the perfect opportunity to see them make fools of themselves.
00:36:12She says her son made a pig.
00:36:16Let's take Andrew and show him what a real success looks like.
00:36:20Oh, that is a great idea.
00:36:23I can't believe our boy. He works for one of the shareholders of Brown Group.
00:36:27You know William Marlowe, the regional manager, calls him sir.
00:36:38Oh, be careful.
00:36:45Adam, my dear brother, you can't come here dressed like that.
00:36:52You should be ashamed.
00:36:54You're not expecting us to pay the bill, are you?
00:37:00No, actually Noah is treating us all. He's made some money in the last few years.
00:37:05Money? I heard he's a construction worker.
00:37:10Please, he could never be as successful as my son.
00:37:16Whoa.
00:37:25Whoa.
00:37:36Could you be the new...
00:37:43Good evening.
00:37:45Sir.
00:37:46Andrew Gimmons from the Brown.
00:37:49Mom, Dad, who are these people? Are they bothering?
00:37:54Mia, is this actually your son?
00:37:57Yes, this is Noah.
00:37:59This is the infamous Noah, a construction worker.
00:38:04Please don't tell me you rented that car to keep up appearances.
00:38:09What a vivid imagination your family has.
00:38:12Inviting us here and pretending you actually own a nice car.
00:38:15I heard a car like that costs thousands of dollars an hour to rent.
00:38:19Yes, that's why I bought it.
00:38:21That's yours? Do you have any idea how expensive that car is?
00:38:26Even in the Brown Group, only the president could afford a ride like that.
00:38:30Yes.
00:38:31You might have been able to fool an idiot, but I work with a shareholder from Brown Group, so you can't fool me.
00:38:39Just a minion of a shareholder and already so full of himself.
00:38:42Mom, Dad, we don't want these snobs at our park. Let's just go ourselves.
00:38:48Thank goodness. Who'd want to spend time with these lowlifes?
00:38:52Don't waste your time with these liars, Mom.
00:38:56The president of Brown Group is hosting a dinner tonight, and if I get his approval, he'll make me a partner.
00:39:02Don't bother eavesdropping. It's way above your pay grade.
00:39:06Let's go, Andrew. We don't have time for these losers anymore.
00:39:10Yeah, we still have some time before the party. Come on, let's go meet someone actually important.
00:39:25So sorry, sweetheart. We just keep embarrassing you.
00:39:28No, no. Don't worry about it. Trust me, we won't be the ones embarrassing ourselves tonight.
00:39:35Come on.
00:39:41Mr. Marlow, since you're overseeing tonight's party, make sure nothing goes wrong.
00:39:47Don't worry, Ms. Wilson. My son is already at the venue making arrangements.
00:39:51I'll head there now to ensure everything goes perfect.
00:39:59Come in.
00:40:01Ms. Wilson, hello. Mom, Dad, Ms. Sophia Wilson.
00:40:06She's the new president's assistant, and we're pretty close too.
00:40:11Andrew, I assigned you to Mapletown as a test, and you've done well so far.
00:40:16Impress the president tonight, and you just might make partner next year.
00:40:20Rest assured, Ms. Wilson. We will. We'll leave you to it. Mom, Dad, shall we?
00:40:28Mom, this party is extraordinary.
00:40:32Jack, my dear, the Brown Group is certainly living up to its reputation.
00:40:36Make sure to introduce us properly to the new president when he arrives.
00:40:40Relax. My father has already convinced him to invest a billion dollars into your family's business.
00:40:44The introduction will go over swimmingly.
00:40:47Jack, you've given me such a wonderful surprise. I must make it up to you.
00:40:52Jack, you've given me such a wonderful surprise. I must make it up to you someday.
00:40:58Honestly, don't worry about it. It's a small favor for your lovely daughter here.
00:41:03Jack, why would someone as important as a Brown Group's president show up in our little town?
00:41:09Well, I heard his family's from here. He must be a sentimental man, because I heard his fiancée's from here as well.
00:41:15I wonder which of these lucky ladies caught his eye.
00:41:23What are they doing here? Why are they shamelessly following us here?
00:41:31They must have followed us in. Should have known that these disgusting clowns wouldn't give up so easily.
00:41:37I'll go kick them out.
00:41:39Don't worry about it. The Brown Group is in charge tonight. My father put me in charge of the guest list.
00:41:44If those crittens step foot in this party, I will have my men kick them out.
00:41:51Well, Mom and Dad, tonight is your night. I'll introduce you to my colleagues if you're ready.
00:41:57Noah, are you sure? Is this really for us?
00:42:00Absolutely.
00:42:02Noah, how much is all of this going to cost?
00:42:05Don't worry about the money. What matters is that you have a good time.
00:42:09You're our son. We should be taking care of you.
00:42:11More than just this once. Let me take care of you.
00:42:21Noah, who let you in?
00:42:24This is a private event put on by the Brown Group.
00:42:26You think you're trash parents? Get them out of here before somebody notices.
00:42:30This is a proper businessman event, not for someone like you.
00:42:39Jack, who do you think you are to talk to me like that?
00:42:42Me? Me?
00:42:44My father is William Marlowe.
00:42:48William Marlowe, regional manager of the Brown Group.
00:42:52If I don't have the right, who does? Not some loser like you.
00:42:57You better watch the way you're speaking to me before I have to knock your teeth in.
00:43:00Oh, you're going to hit me? Go for it.
00:43:02Prove to me you're not a sewer rat.
00:43:05You want me to hit you?
00:43:07I'm begging you to hit me. Please.
00:43:15Noah, don't be reckless.
00:43:17What do we do now?
00:43:18You heard him. He asked me to hit him. It's the most ridiculous request I've ever heard.
00:43:22Noah, have you gone mad? How could you hit him?
00:43:25Have you gone deaf? He asked for it. I was just granting his wish.
00:43:28Do you even know who he is?
00:43:31He's just William's son. If William himself were here, I would do it again.
00:43:34How dare you speak ill of Mr. Marlowe?
00:43:38You know what? You're lucky that he's not here because if he was, you'd be dead.
00:43:44Apologize to Jack right now. And you two old fools, get over here and apologize too.
00:43:50Who do you think you're commanding?
00:43:52Who do you think you are? Sneaking in here in rental couture?
00:43:58Don't tell me you're trying to win me back.
00:44:01Are you done making a scene because of the ridiculous marriage pact with your useless son and my daughter?
00:44:07We've been humiliated in high society for years.
00:44:11You should be grateful we didn't make things worse for you.
00:44:14Why are you still clinging to us? Now get out!
00:44:18This is their family reunion after all.
00:44:22So let's make this a night to remember, shall we?
00:44:26What do you say? Security!
00:44:30Break all of his bones, please. Let's see what they get for trying to cross me.
00:44:34A few medical bills are nothing.
00:44:37Personal charges if you want. I got friends from the streets.
00:44:41Grace, I'm sorry, Mrs. Smith. I'll make Noah apologize right away, but please don't let them hurt him.
00:44:47Yes, yes. He'll apologize immediately. Noah, say you're sorry. Hurry.
00:44:51Now you want to apologize? It's too late.
00:44:54People like you have no right to be at a place like this.
00:44:57And since you don't have any manners, don't blame us for being harsh.
00:45:01You really know how to throw your weight around, Mrs. Smith.
00:45:03What did you say?
00:45:04Dad, Mom, I told you. Tonight is all about you. You are the real guests of honor.
00:45:08They are the ones who will apologize, get kicked out, and kiss themselves.
00:45:12All you have to do is sit back and watch.
00:45:14Sit and watch? Oh Noah, I pity your parents for having a son like you.
00:45:21You are the pitiful ones. My parents will have a lovely evening.
00:45:26I really appreciate the optimism. I really do.
00:45:31I really appreciate the optimism. I really do.
00:45:33But let's see what your parents feel like when they see their long lost son bleeding out on the street.
00:45:41Mr. William Marlow, the regional manager of the Brown Group, just arrived at the valet.
00:45:50You think I don't know my own boss? What kind of fool do you think I am?
00:45:55Noah, do you know who just arrived?
00:45:59That's Jack's father, the Brown Group's regional manager, and the new president's right hand man.
00:46:07Offending us, you're asking for a good beating at worst.
00:46:12But if you offend that man, you can forget about ever surviving in this town.
00:46:21Emily, don't waste your breath on a bottom rung man like this.
00:46:25This person will never understand my father's place in this company.
00:46:31Being blacklisted by such a powerful man might be the highlight of your miserable lives.
00:46:35You're going to end up starving on the street.
00:46:38Not me. It's you, low faced disaster.
00:46:41Us, face disaster? You must not really know your place, huh?
00:46:45Emily, Noah was being rash. Please help us out, I'm begging you.
00:46:50It's Miss Smith. One more time I'm telling you.
00:46:54You've gone too far.
00:46:55Too far? I can go even further.
00:47:07I can go even further.
00:47:12Touch Emily again and I'll kill you and your whole family.
00:47:16Touch Emily again and I'll kill you and your whole fucking family.
00:47:21She fell on her own, on her way to assault my mom.
00:47:25Noah, how can you treat me like this?
00:47:30I'm your fiance.
00:47:33Here, I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.
00:47:37No, tonight all I wanted to do was introduce my family to everyone.
00:47:42But you had to bully them like a bunch of classist assholes.
00:47:46But you're going to be so brazen. Let's see how the Smith family does when I banish them from this town.
00:47:51Let's see how you do without all your money and stature.
00:47:55What nonsense are you spouting? You're just a nobody.
00:47:59How are you going to get rid of our family?
00:48:02Jack, beat some sense into him.
00:48:05Who are we beating? Let me see who's being so bold here.
00:48:13Andrew, have you ever met the president?
00:48:18Haven't you guys heard? The old president just stepped down.
00:48:22Not many people in the company have met the new president yet.
00:48:26That's why I'm lucky to be here and meet him here in advance tonight.
00:48:30All thanks to Sophia.
00:48:32Well, if you've never met the president before, how are you going to recognize him when you see him later?
00:48:36I've been told he carries an old pocket watch.
00:48:40Dad, something that not every average young bloke would have.
00:48:44Okay, so keep your eyes out for it.
00:48:46If the president takes a liking to you and makes you a partner, will you be more powerful than William?
00:48:53He is the most highly regarded person in our town.
00:48:57William is just a regional manager. He is nothing compared to me.
00:49:02But I've also heard that the president's fiancee is the eldest daughter of the Smith family.
00:49:09He just arranged a billion dollar project for them, making them the richest family in town.
00:49:16A billion? You're not joking, are you?
00:49:20Why would I be lying to you right now, mom?
00:49:23So, the show stopped before tonight. Other than the boss, is this Emily Smith?
00:49:30Okay, so when you see the two of them, act very respectfully.
00:49:36Best behavior.
00:49:42Who made such a mess of this place?
00:49:44Well, security let these lowly vagrants in.
00:49:47Lowly vagrants?
00:49:49Yes, yes, this family right here.
00:49:52Let's pack them some leftovers, then maybe they'll finally leave.
00:49:57Yeah, don't worry about it, dad. I'll have someone come in here and break their legs and take them out with the trash like they're supposed to be.
00:50:02Shut up!
00:50:04Tomorrow?
00:50:06Daddy!
00:50:07Hello, boss.
00:50:10You must be the parents of the president. It's such a pleasure to meet you.
00:50:15William, is this the sort of party you meant to throw for me?
00:50:20Well, I actually, I'll handle it immediately.
00:50:25Noah, just now, did Mr. Marlowe call you president?
00:50:31Did we hear that right?
00:50:33You did. I am the new president of the Brown Group.
00:50:46My son has made it!
00:50:48My son is actually president of the Brown Group.
00:50:52Mr. Marlowe, are you saying that Noah is the company's new president?
00:50:57Daddy, you must be mistaken. I was told that the former president's son was the president, not this lowlife.
00:51:03Idiot!
00:51:05Do you think I'd mistake my own boss?
00:51:07That can't be right, daddy! You must be lying to me! He can't be the president! You must be lying to me!
00:51:11Shut your mouth and get over here and apologize to the president!
00:51:15I don't believe it! You told me the company gave the Smith family a billion dollars!
00:51:19If that was the case, why would Emily call off the engagement?
00:51:22Whether you believe it or not, he is the company's president.
00:51:26Now get out!
00:51:34Well, William, it certainly seems that your people enjoy throwing the weight around in this town.
00:51:41Oh, Mr. Brown, it's totally my fault! My idiot son insulted you! Please, do whatever you see fit!
00:51:51Emily, your fiancé is actually the president of the Brown Group! That billion wasn't deep from Noah, girl!
00:52:01So, Noah, are you really the company's new president?
00:52:07Well, what's it to you?
00:52:10What are you talking about? You are my fiancé.
00:52:15And if you are the president, then I'll own half of the company's shares as your wife.
00:52:22Well, Emily, you really are worse than I thought.
00:52:27Noah, how could you say that about me? We were set to get married since we were kids.
00:52:33Married?
00:52:34Yeah.
00:52:35Do you remember what you said to me earlier today? You told me I wasn't good enough to shine your shoes.
00:52:39And now, suddenly, you seem to remember that I'm your fiancé and you're trying to seduce me.
00:52:44You really are something, Emily. Greedy, selfish, immaterial.
00:52:49I was testing you.
00:52:50No, I already told you I wanted nothing to do with you. Your family is not good enough for us.
00:52:56Okay, Noah, I was blind. Do you forgive me?
00:53:01We were born to be together. Let's just forget all the misunderstandings and start over.
00:53:11We can be happy together.
00:53:14You must be out of your mind if you think I would be with someone as terrible as you.
00:53:19Let me make myself perfectly clear, Emily, that my power, money, and status has nothing to do with you or your family.
00:53:27Not now and not ever. So stop being delusional and get out.
00:53:31Okay, Noah, please, please don't do this. I will make it up to you. I can serve as your maid.
00:53:39My maid?
00:53:40Uh-huh.
00:53:41No, you don't even deserve that. Now get out or do you need a hand?
00:53:48You've got a lot of nerve, Noah, trying to kick out the president's fiancé.
00:53:52Andrew, watch your mouth. How dare you insult our president?
00:53:55Take a good look at him. Does he look anything like our company's president?
00:54:01Andrew, are you saying this jerk isn't the new president?
00:54:05He's a construction worker. How could he be our company's president?
00:54:10Andrew, I am warning you.
00:54:12Will you be quiet, William? I'm curious to see what he has to say.
00:54:17Let me tell you, you've all been fooled, including you, William. You've all been deceived by this man.
00:54:26Yeah, why is he pretending to be rich? He's just a long-lost son of these two old fools.
00:54:31Noah, I know you want your parents to be proud, but you can't go around telling such blatant lies.
00:54:37Faking it won't help you make it.
00:54:39Andrew, you don't trust your own cousin.
00:54:41Trust you? You're a construction worker with no prospects.
00:54:46You're nothing compared to me, who is about to be recognized by the president and made partner.
00:54:52Partner? No, I don't think so. Not even in your next life.
00:55:09You don't think I have a chance, and you do?
00:55:12Do you even know who you are or who you're pretending to be?
00:55:18How dare you touch me? You're asking for security!
00:55:24A worker bee for a shareholder, and already so arrogant, even though you have no real power.
00:55:29Why would I care what you think?
00:55:32What are you going to do? Hit me? Get me fired?
00:55:38You know, Andrew, it's not that I don't like you.
00:55:40I just think it's embarrassing for the company to have you around.
00:55:45Sophia, can we find Andrew Gibbons in our system?
00:55:49Yes, sir.
00:55:50Great. Fire him.
00:55:51Understood. I'll take care of it immediately.
00:55:55Fire me?
00:55:56Hey, why don't you just go ahead and cancel that $1 billion project for the Smith family that the president himself arranged, huh?
00:56:04You're on.
00:56:09I like the way you think. And, uh, Sophia, go ahead and cancel the $1 billion contract for the Smith family.
00:56:16Right away, sir.
00:56:19How could Andrew have offended the president? I better go check it out.
00:56:24You know, Andrew, we are technically related. So if you have any more requests, I'm all ears.
00:56:30Wow. You're so considerate. I'm hutched.
00:56:33All good, then.
00:56:34Tell you what. I'll give you one last chance out of pity for your parents.
00:56:39Kiss my feet now, or I will show you what I can do.
00:56:43Mia, Adam, your precious son is about to get himself killed.
00:56:48I'm already giving you a chance.
00:56:50Enough. I am the president of the Brown Group.
00:56:54We're trying to fool everyone!
00:56:57Our president always carries around a pocket watch.
00:57:02A symbol of his ultimate authority.
00:57:05Do you have one?
00:57:09You mean like this one?
00:57:15This can't be real.
00:57:18This can't be real.
00:57:20I don't believe it. I won't believe it.
00:57:23Noah, are you actually the new president of the company?
00:57:27I, uh, offended the president.
00:57:31Look, I am so sorry. I disrespected you.
00:57:36Look, please forgive me.
00:57:38You really think you deserve my forgiveness?
00:57:40Cousin Noah!
00:57:42Who said you could call me cousin?
00:57:44Cousin Noah!
00:57:46Who said you could call me cousin?
00:57:48Noah, we're family.
00:57:50Who's family?
00:57:52Okay, you've been faking it for long enough.
00:57:54I remember clearly now.
00:57:56This isn't the token of the president's authority.
00:57:58This is just a cheap piece of junk that Mia picked up from a street vendor 20 years ago.
00:58:15David, how could you do this?
00:58:17I remember it clearly.
00:58:19They even had to borrow the money from me even back then.
00:58:21I knew it. I knew your family couldn't move up in the world.
00:58:25And you thought yourself was good enough to marry my daughter?
00:58:30Mom.
00:58:34Noah, how could someone like you possibly do this?
00:58:38I don't know.
00:58:41Noah, how could someone like you possibly be the president?
00:58:45Stop pretending.
00:58:47Alright, alright! Okay?
00:58:49You deceived me. All of you.
00:58:51Good work.
00:58:53What are you doing just standing there? Grab him and throw him out!
00:58:57Stop!
00:59:01How dare you!
00:59:06Miss Sophia, what are you doing here?
00:59:09If you need anything from me, you can just tell me directly.
00:59:12Tell you? Do you realize what a fool you've been?
00:59:16I haven't done anything!
00:59:18Shut up!
00:59:21I'm sorry, Mr. President. I should have arranged things better.
00:59:25Mr. President.
00:59:28Miss Sophia, you must be mistaken.
00:59:30We've already proven that the little token he carries is a fake.
00:59:36Who are you to question the president's identity?
00:59:41Noah, I mean, Mr. President, I was wrong.
00:59:46I shouldn't have broke your watch. I'll pay for it. We'll pay for it.
00:59:50We'll pay for it. It was an accident.
00:59:52We're so sorry. So sorry.
00:59:54Oh, it was an accident.
00:59:57Then I must have just misunderstood all of you.
01:00:02It is such a waste of talent for your son to but only be a partner.
01:00:08Exactly. He's so capable. He should be promoted.
01:00:13Noah, you wouldn't want to have an outsider over a family member, would you?
01:00:18I mean, we wouldn't want to waste Andrew's brilliance.
01:00:21So true.
01:00:23Unfortunately, the one thing our company doesn't lack is talent.
01:00:29Fire him. Effective immediately. And blacklist him from our HR roster.
01:00:34Let us see how his talents shine elsewhere.
01:00:38Yes, Mr. President.
01:00:40Ah, and be sure to cancel the billion-dollar contract with the Smith family.
01:00:44No! No! Oh, please!
01:00:53Hello?
01:00:54Mia, I heard you found Noah.
01:00:56Hello?
01:00:57Mia, I heard you found Noah. Did you do a DNA test?
01:01:02Daniel, Noah really is my son. And he's achieved a lot.
01:01:06I heard he's a construction worker.
01:01:09Anyway, we'll see you all tomorrow night at Grandpa's birthday party.
01:01:13Daniel.
01:01:14Daniel?
01:01:16Don't worry about your uncle. Tomorrow is Grandpa's 70th birthday party.
01:01:20It's okay, Mom. We'll go together and celebrate tomorrow.
01:01:27Daddy, why do we have to invite Aunt Mia's family to Grandpa's 70th birthday?
01:01:32They are so gross.
01:01:34It's not like I want to.
01:01:36Grandpa wants to see this long-lost grandson of his.
01:01:50Mr. Brown, your purchases today are on the house.
01:01:54You are our most esteemed Supreme VIP member,
01:01:59and you will receive an annual complimentary amount of $100,000.
01:02:05And this is my business card.
01:02:08If you need anything, I am at your disposal.
01:02:11I almost forgot. I hear you're celebrating a family member's birthday at our restaurant today.
01:02:17I took the liberty of preparing a small gift for you.
01:02:24Yes, I believe this is a box of Gurkha Royale cigars
01:02:27infused with the prestigious Remy Martin Black Pearl Louis XIII.
01:02:32I believe there's only fewer than ten boxes in the world.
01:02:35Truly a work of art and very thoughtful.
01:02:37Well, it is the least I could do.
01:02:55Mia, Adam, why are you bringing random people to Father's birthday?
01:03:04Fiona, this is Noah, our son who was lost for 20 years.
01:03:09He came to celebrate Dad's birthday today specially.
01:03:12Celebrate? More like came to mooch off us.
01:03:16Fiona, it's just a meal, isn't it?
01:03:18I mean, if they're so eager to freeload,
01:03:20why don't we just give them the leftovers when we're done?
01:03:23It's good for the environment.
01:03:26Dad, I got you a very special gift for your birthday.
01:03:29It's a rare Macallan 26, and it costs thousands of dollars.
01:03:35Is it really that expensive?
01:03:37Grandpa, this is a Royale exclusive whiskey from the UK.
01:03:41Only a few bottles of this are available every year.
01:03:45Regular people don't get their hands dirty.
01:03:48Regular people don't get their hands on this.
01:03:51We only got one because my boyfriend is the department manager at Brown Group's retail department.
01:03:57Now, their most exclusive inventory is a box of Louis XIII-infused Gurkha Royale cigars.
01:04:07But this Macallan is the next best thing.
01:04:10Even the legendary president of the group only gets to drink this a few times a year.
01:04:15Dad, what a thoughtful gift. You're the best.
01:04:19Unlike some people here, showing off empty-handed.
01:04:28Dad, you're really asking for too much.
01:04:31I mean, what kind of gift do you expect from these losers?
01:04:37Now that you've seen your long-lost grandson and your wishes fulfilled, can we kick them out now?
01:04:42What are you all saying?
01:04:44Why? You invited us here just to humiliate us?
01:04:48My God, are you really my family?
01:04:50How dare you talk to us like that, you piece of trash.
01:04:53Who do you think you are?
01:04:55Exactly. Do you think we invited you here to have a good time?
01:04:59Know your place.
01:05:01This is Grandpa's birthday. Where's your gift? Are you just here for a free meal?
01:05:05And who said we showed up empty-handed?
01:05:10And who said we showed up empty-handed?
01:05:13This is a box of Gurkha Royale cigars, infused with prestigious Remy Martin Black Pearl Louis XIII.
01:05:25There is only one case in our whole town, and it is reserved for the most elite VIPs.
01:05:33Where did you get this?
01:05:35This is that one and only case. The retail director prepared it and delivered it to me himself.
01:05:44Okay, okay. Then it must be fake.
01:05:50There is no way you could get your hands on this box of cigars.
01:05:55The retail director is the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
01:06:00A blue-collar, like yourself, is not fit to meet him, let alone be given a gift from him.
01:06:07And you are standing here boasting.
01:06:10Now Noah, tell us. Where did you really get this box of fake cigars?
01:06:15Did you steal it from someone's basement?
01:06:18Even if you would have brought a box of American Spirits, no one would blame you.
01:06:22This is my 70th birthday.
01:06:25Can you bring some lace trash?
01:06:34I don't know how much more clear I can make.
01:06:36Mr. Graham! Looking dapper as usual, sir.
01:06:39Is there a special guest you're attending to? How can I help?
01:06:42You're James, from sales, right?
01:06:46Yes.
01:06:47What brings you here?
01:06:48Oh, well, my girlfriend's grandfather is celebrating his 70th birthday, so I'm going to dinner with him this evening.
01:06:55This must be the party Mr. Brown requested me to prepare.
01:06:59It seems I underestimated James. I didn't know he was related to Mr. Brown.
01:07:03James, you've been performing very well recently.
01:07:08And it just so happens I have a vacancy for Deputy General Manager.
01:07:15I'll make a request to the group tomorrow. Let's get you promoted.
01:07:18Mr. Graham, that's amazing! Thank you. I won't let you down.
01:07:23Please, it's the least I can do. Your future's bright, and who knows, I may need your help someday.
01:07:31You know, since it's such an important birthday, I'll stop by. Pay my respects.
01:07:37I'm going to need you to introduce me properly.
01:07:40We would be honored to have you there. Come by any time.
01:07:44Of course.
01:07:45I'll go give Grandpa the great news.
01:07:48Quick, get some gifts together. This is a rare opportunity. You must not make any mistakes with Mr. Brown.
01:07:56This is my 70th birthday, and you bring some lace trash.
01:08:02Well, it is one of only ten boxes in the world, worth millions.
01:08:06But it seems its value is wasted on those who don't appreciate it.
01:08:10Worth millions? How can you say that? Noah, do you think everyone here is as foolish as you?
01:08:19I would not touch this if you begged me.
01:08:22I would not touch this if you begged me.
01:08:25You are bringing down the quality of this table of delicacies with your gas station fines.
01:08:31Mia, from now on, don't bring Noah around. It's embarrassing.
01:08:35Thank goodness we're at a family gathering, otherwise we could have ruined our family reputation entirely.
01:08:42This is Grandpa's 70th birthday. I don't think a box of trash like that belongs here.
01:08:53Daniel! Why would you ruin such a good case of cigars? What a waste!
01:08:58You should be glad we haven't kicked your family out.
01:09:00If it weren't for Dad's birthday, do you think you'd still be standing here?
01:09:23Everyone's here, huh?
01:09:26What's all the excitement about?
01:09:27Hey.
01:09:28You look gorgeous.
01:09:29Hello.
01:09:31What happened?
01:09:32You made it, James.
01:09:34And I heard you bought me this bottle of Macallan.
01:09:37That is a thoughtful choice.
01:09:39Hey, it's your birthday, right? You're Ava's grandfather. You deserve the best.
01:09:43You know, that bottle's worth $15,000, James.
01:09:46You're like a grandson to me.
01:09:48Ava, uh, what's going on over here?
01:09:50This is my aunt's lost and found son. They came to Grandpa's birthday to mooch off of us.
01:09:57Even brought some weird liquor-soaked cigars. Embarrassing, really.
01:10:01Yeah, it smelled like piss when we opened the case.
01:10:04I mean, it must be spoiled, right?
01:10:07This?
01:10:08This is...
01:10:09James, what are you doing with that garbage?
01:10:13Shut the fuck up!
01:10:20Oh.
01:10:22Okay.
01:10:24Counterfeit code is...
01:10:26...counterfeit.
01:10:28Oh.
01:10:30Okay.
01:10:31Oh.
01:10:32Okay.
01:10:34Counterfeit code is...
01:10:35...correct.
01:10:36The label is...
01:10:38...correct.
01:10:40This is indeed the genuine Gurkha Royale.
01:10:43Only one in ten cases in existence...
01:10:49...a top-tier case.
01:10:50James, are you sure you're not mistaken?
01:10:52You're joking, but that's right.
01:10:54Does it look like I'm joking?
01:10:56I'm the sales manager.
01:10:57I'm the sales manager.
01:10:58I inventory products like this all the time.
01:11:00High-end products.
01:11:01This is indeed real, and it's worth about a million dollars.
01:11:07Wow.
01:11:08You're sure there's no mistake?
01:11:09Who destroyed these?
01:11:11Who fucking destroyed these?!
01:11:14I... I did.
01:11:15Do you realize that these fucking cigars probably cost more than your whole damn house?
01:11:20James, you can't blame my father.
01:11:22Who would have expected this construction worker to be able to afford such an expensive gift?
01:11:32Wait.
01:11:33Him?
01:11:34You...
01:11:38You brought these?
01:11:39That's right.
01:11:40I brought it.
01:11:42You're a fucking construction worker.
01:11:44How do you get your hands on something like this?
01:11:46He claimed the company's retail director gave it to him.
01:11:50Luke.
01:11:51No fucking way.
01:11:52There's no way!
01:11:55This is a joke, right?
01:11:56I bet he stole it.
01:11:58Yeah, right.
01:11:59He stole them.
01:12:00That's what happened.
01:12:01I knew it.
01:12:02I knew this family shouldn't be here at this birthday party.
01:12:05It's bad enough that they're poor, but who knows?
01:12:08I bet they're thieves, too.
01:12:10Noah, have you lost your mind?
01:12:12How could you have stolen something so expensive?
01:12:15Steal something cheap next time.
01:12:17You're gonna rot in jail.
01:12:18You can't falsely accuse Noah.
01:12:20That box of cigars was in fact given to us by Luke.
01:12:23He's right outside.
01:12:24Go ask him yourself.
01:12:32Mr. Graham, everything has been prepared according to your instructions.
01:12:35At the highest grade for Mr. Brown.
01:12:37Very good.
01:12:39Oh, uh, did you get Mr. Brown's membership information?
01:12:42I just opened the system when headquarters called.
01:12:45They were furious.
01:12:46They said that Mr. Brown's identity is the company's top secret.
01:12:49If we investigate any further, there would be consequences.
01:12:53Bingo.
01:12:55Noah is the new president of the company.
01:12:58The president?
01:12:59He's the new president of the company?
01:13:01I knew the president was supposed to come by for an inspection,
01:13:04but I never expected to bump into him.
01:13:08This is my chance.
01:13:10Let's go.
01:13:15You can't falsely accuse Noah.
01:13:17That box of cigars was in fact given to us by Luke.
01:13:20He's right outside.
01:13:21Go ask him yourself.
01:13:26Have you lost your everlasting mind?
01:13:28You expect Mr. Graham to vouch for your thieving son?
01:13:34How dare you hit my father?
01:13:40How dare you hit my father?
01:13:41Did you just slap me?
01:13:45Yes, I did.
01:13:46What are you going to do about it?
01:13:49Three slaps is nothing compared to what you deserve.
01:13:51God damn it.
01:13:52You're going to pay for this.
01:13:58Do you know who I am?
01:14:01Ouch, ouch, bro.
01:14:02I don't need to know who you are, bro.
01:14:04It doesn't matter.
01:14:14Noah!
01:14:15Noah!
01:14:16Are you insane?
01:14:17How dare you put your hands on him?
01:14:20Do you know who he is?
01:14:21Oh, and who is he?
01:14:22You classless lowlife.
01:14:24You have no idea how much trouble you've just gotten yourself into.
01:14:32James is the Brown Group sales manager.
01:14:35Oh, a sales manager.
01:14:37So a glorified salesman then.
01:14:40What do you know?
01:14:41Mr. Graham is promoting me the deputy general manager.
01:14:46You country bumpkin.
01:14:49You know what that means?
01:14:50It means that for me, I got people that will bend over backwards to make you suffer.
01:14:56I would like to see how much you can make someone like me suffer.
01:15:00Is Mr. Graham really promoting him to deputy general manager?
01:15:03Absolutely.
01:15:07And he's coming here now to wish Mr. Finney a happy birthday.
01:15:12And I truly appreciate that.
01:15:15That's right, Daddy.
01:15:17James has earned Mr. Graham's trust.
01:15:19His future is limitless.
01:15:22Ava is marrying into a wealthy family.
01:15:25Did you hear that, Mia and Adam?
01:15:27Mr. Graham is coming personally to give Dad a toast.
01:15:30You need to have Noah apologize to James right now and throw him out.
01:15:39This place isn't suitable for a draft like you.
01:15:41You want my son to apologize to him?
01:15:44Who does he think he is?
01:15:46He hit me first. Why should we apologize?
01:15:48Having him apologize is giving him a chance.
01:15:51If it weren't for Mr. Graham, I'd break his legs.
01:15:55Noah, be sensible. Don't be ungrateful.
01:15:58James is giving you a chance because of Grandpa.
01:16:02Giving me a chance?
01:16:04Mom, Dad, has the Brown Group always been so arrogant in this town?
01:16:08The Brown Group certainly has nothing to do with a worker like you.
01:16:12We have the backing of the Brown family.
01:16:16You have any idea what that means?
01:16:18I understand better than anyone what the Brown Group represents.
01:16:23Wishing Mr. Finney a very happy birthday.
01:16:27I, Luke Graham, am here to celebrate the occasion
01:16:31representing the Brown Group Retail Division.
01:16:35Wishing Mr. Finney a very happy 70th birthday,
01:16:39I present to you top grade black truffles,
01:16:43top grade caviar,
01:16:45a bottle of 1945 Romani Conti,
01:16:50as well as a premium membership card
01:16:55to our company's mall.
01:16:59Mr. Finney,
01:17:00Mr. Finney,
01:17:01these gifts were prepared in haste.
01:17:03Please, forgive me.
01:17:05You're very generous.
01:17:08But these gifts, they're far too valuable.
01:17:11I can't accept them.
01:17:13Mr. Finney,
01:17:15these gifts are worth almost five million dollars together.
01:17:19Please, don't refuse them.
01:17:22Five million?
01:17:25These gifts, they're just far too valuable.
01:17:28These gifts, they're just far too valuable
01:17:30and we've never met each other,
01:17:32so I don't feel deserving of those.
01:17:35Mr. Finney,
01:17:36I'm here to celebrate your birthday
01:17:38because you happen to have
01:17:41a particularly exceptional young man in your family.
01:17:51James, Mr. Graham truly values you.
01:17:54How many surprises are you going to bestow upon our family?
01:17:58That's right.
01:17:59My soon-to-be son-in-law and our family
01:18:01will be running this town in no time.
01:18:05James, since Mr. Graham thinks so highly of you,
01:18:08you must help Ava move up in the ranks.
01:18:11Oh, yes, yes.
01:18:12We're all family.
01:18:14Since Ava and I are getting married,
01:18:16your family business is mine.
01:18:20Noah,
01:18:21now you know the consequences of crossing me, right?
01:18:24We'd be family down the line.
01:18:26Could've got you a job,
01:18:28been a security guard at the mall or scrubbing toilets.
01:18:31Now, if you got down on your knees and begged me,
01:18:35I wouldn't lift a finger.
01:18:37I told you to back down earlier.
01:18:39Now do you regret it?
01:18:41What are you all just apologizing?
01:18:43Get lost.
01:18:45You're an eyesore.
01:18:46What are you all talking about?
01:18:50What are you all talking about?
01:18:53Mr. Graham, forgive us.
01:18:55Every family has, you know, some poor relatives.
01:18:59I'll escort them out immediately.
01:19:02Noah, what are you waiting for?
01:19:05You want Mr. Graham to escort you out personally?
01:19:08What you looking at?
01:19:14What are you doing?
01:19:17What are you doing?
01:19:19Are you looking for trouble?
01:19:21I don't understand.
01:19:23Mr. Brown.
01:19:24Mr. Brown's parents.
01:19:26Oh, Graham.
01:19:28The retail manager.
01:19:30We spoke earlier.
01:19:32It's so nice to see you again.
01:19:34This cannot be real.
01:19:36Noah is the company's president?
01:19:38Yes.
01:19:39My son is the new president of the company.
01:19:43Mr. Graham, this can't be true.
01:19:47This man is a fraud.
01:19:49He clearly tricked you.
01:19:51Who are you to disagree with the president?
01:19:54You're just a glorified salesman,
01:19:57and you think you're somebody.
01:19:59Get out.
01:20:04Mr. Graham, is he really the president?
01:20:07Do you think that if the president
01:20:10Do you think that if the president weren't here,
01:20:13I would have gotten you all of these gifts
01:20:16for no reason?
01:20:20I apologize, Mr. President.
01:20:22This is all my fault
01:20:24for not recognizing you sooner
01:20:26and allowing these lowlifes to disturb you.
01:20:30This is all my fault.
01:20:31Please punish me.
01:20:33Luke, you and William have opened my eyes
01:20:38to how overbearing the company can be in the world.
01:20:41I promise to give you an explanation.
01:20:44No, explain it to our customers.
01:20:50I promise to give you an explanation.
01:20:53No, explain it to our customers.
01:20:55Our company has always valued their experience
01:20:58over anything else,
01:20:59and you have been nothing but arrogant and rude.
01:21:02So starting tomorrow, you will both be demoted
01:21:04to an entry-level position at a regular branch.
01:21:07If company culture improves,
01:21:09you may be welcomed back.
01:21:11Yes, sir.
01:21:14Well, does anyone else have something to say?
01:21:19Noah, sweetheart,
01:21:21we've always believed in you,
01:21:23and you are such a promising young child.
01:21:27Yes, yes, look how successful you are,
01:21:30and your parents must be so proud.
01:21:33And we are so happy that you are back home.
01:21:37Noah, we never would have imagined
01:21:39you would be the president of the company,
01:21:42a billionaire on the Forbes.
01:21:45You're a good grandson.
01:21:47You're truly a good grandson.
01:21:49You believed in me.
01:21:51A good grandson, a good nephew.
01:21:54That's not what you were saying earlier.
01:21:59Shouldn't you forget what you were saying just a minute ago,
01:22:02or should I get you a mirror so you can see
01:22:04the disgusting hypocritical looks on your faces?
01:22:07You said your family was going to be rich.
01:22:10Well, look at him.
01:22:12And you said we were unfit to sit with you.
01:22:14Oh, God.
01:22:16Who is unworthy now?
01:22:18And you said my gifts were trash.
01:22:20Well, take a look.
01:22:22How do they hold up in your expectations?
01:22:26Oh, I like him.
01:22:28Oh, Grandpa.
01:22:30Mr. Finney.
01:22:36Well, this is your favorite wine.
01:22:44Well, this is your favorite wine.
01:22:46Yes, I like anything.
01:22:48As long as it comes from my grandson Noah,
01:22:50I like anything.
01:22:52That's too bad. It's too late.
01:22:55Oh, no, no, my boy.
01:23:07You don't deserve my well wishes.
01:23:10Well, Mom and Dad,
01:23:12it seems that we won't be able to enjoy birthday cake tonight.
01:23:17Luke, make arrangements.
01:23:20I think that we should have a reunion dinner
01:23:22just for ourselves.
01:23:24Yes.
01:23:25Yes, let's do that.
01:23:27And, Luke,
01:23:30kick them out.
01:23:32From now on, you are banned
01:23:34from ever entering a property owned by the family.
01:23:36Yes, boss.
01:23:38Please!
01:23:40I never wanted this!
01:23:42No!
01:23:44Why?
01:23:46Why?
01:23:50Why?
