Short filmTranscript
00:00I will allow a six-month engagement, during which you both follow my rules, otherwise Molly becomes a new CEO.
00:11Wow, my dear sister.
00:15Beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife.
00:23I've never seen you in this light before.
00:25What are you doing here?
00:41What's going on?
00:46Yeah, you think you've got this all figured out, don't you?
00:49My mother showed up at the doorstep.
00:55Never the one for stories, huh?
00:57I'm here for the book. I know it was you.
01:01Where is it?
01:02I just need five minutes with Gertrude Lawson. Five minutes.
01:08Excuse me, Ms. Lawson.
01:10I'm Sammy Davis. I really think you'd be interested in this portfolio I put together.
01:14It's made of...
01:20I'm so sorry.
01:22five minutes. Excuse me, Ms. Lawson. I'm Sammy Davis. I really think you'd be
01:35interested in this portfolio I put together. It's made of...oh, I'm so sorry.
01:44These numbers, they're not bad. You think so? They're just product margins from the
01:52company I've been working for.
01:57Follow me, I don't have time with this yet.
02:06You want something from me, I want something from you.
02:12What are you talking about?
02:15A marriage proposal. Business only. In exchange, I'll hire your company to issue and test new
02:23investment methods and tools of analysis for mine.
02:28What?
02:34A contract marriage. Really, Gertrude? I'm not the kind of man who'll just sell himself for
02:41favors.
02:43Over the years, I've learned that everything, everyone has a price, Sam. And here I thought
02:48you were a businessman. Unless your little sense of honor has turned you into an idolist.
03:00Well, what about your ex, Victor? I hear he's been chasing you like a hawk. You really think
03:04he's gonna give up when he finds out what you've been planning?
03:07I'll handle, Victor. All you have to do is stick to your side of the marriage contract.
03:15And I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
03:17Look, I'm offering you more money than those two bid companies you've been bending over
03:23backwards for. Unless, of course, your heart's been spoken for.
03:30And my heart has not been spoken for. And I'm not a fool.
03:34Six months, Sam. That's all. No emotion. No romance. Just an agreement.
03:45So it's just a regular contract like any other.
03:49So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:54So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:56I've been looking for you.
04:02Excuse me?
04:04And who's this? Is this your latest business acquisition?
04:08You must be Victor.
04:12I have heard some rather unpleasant things about you.
04:16Please keep your hands off my wife.
04:20Is this some kind of a joke? Who do you think you are?
04:23I'm her husband, Sammy Davis.
04:27Oh, this is some kind of joke.
04:30Gertrude, you love your little games, but you'll never find anyone as good as me.
04:38Get out, Victor. Now.
04:41You are mine.
04:44Forever and always.
04:53He is going to be a problem for us, isn't he?
04:56I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.
04:59Can we get back to signing documents?
05:01Oh, you'd prefer meeting the family first.
05:10Wow.
05:12My dear sister.
05:14What a pleasant surprise.
05:17And you brought a new pet.
05:19I don't know. Maybe I have one of those familiar faces.
05:24This must have been an exciting few days.
05:28I must believe it was the purpose of your trip.
05:30Believe what you want.
05:32The company is never going to be yours.
05:35I was born to better you.
05:38Enjoy it, wireless.
05:40Enjoy it, wireless.
05:41My sister has always had a habit of losing interest in her little play toys.
05:50You must just find yourself on a clearance rack.
05:54Clearance rack, how pathetic.
05:55I assure you, Molly, he's far from disposable.
06:02It's funny that you think he'd be intimidated by someone who's been on the shelf way too long herself.
06:10Sam, you better watch her back.
06:12My sister was never good at protecting what's hers.
06:18Ignore her. She's always been a jealous bitch.
06:21I'll get what's mine. You'll see.
06:23You better learn when to stop barking.
06:33On cue.
06:35What the fuck is going on here then?
06:37Gertrude is about to introduce her new husband to our father.
06:40Huh. Oh.
06:42You're rejecting me.
06:44For this.
06:46What are you doing here, Victor?
06:48You think you can get rid of me so easily.
06:49No, you thought I was going to let you two ride off into the sunset.
06:55Oh.
06:56I see what this is.
06:57Yeah?
06:58She's a little guard dog, isn't he?
07:00You know what?
07:01You're the biggest mistake she's ever made.
07:04From what I've heard, you're the biggest mistake she's ever made.
07:08A broke, billionaire playboy who can't keep his dick in his pants.
07:12You can't even keep your playthings in check.
07:18How are you going to run the company?
07:20Didn't you have something better to do?
07:22Like sleep off the excess alcohol, maybe?
07:25A drunk needs some kind of entertainment.
07:28I better stay for the fight.
07:30And my money is on Mr. Playboy.
07:31I bet he'll put you in your place.
07:52Victor!
07:53Victor!
08:10I know punching Victor wasn't part of the contract, but...
08:13Why did you do that? I can take care of myself.
08:16I didn't say you couldn't.
08:18Just think if we're going to make this work, we need to show that I'm on your side.
08:23Open this drunken door!
08:25Go home, Victor! You're drunk!
08:28I have to make sure they know I care about you, too.
08:33Father!
08:35Victor's gone to sleep it off.
08:37I see you're back and you brought a guest.
08:41I am sorry for my part I played in this, sir.
08:45Well, he shows promise already. Who's your friend?
08:48Father, I'd like you to meet my husband, Sammy Davis.
08:54By any misfortune, are you related to Charles Davis?
09:00Yes, actually, he's my stepfather.
09:02It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
09:05I wish I could say the same.
09:07What are you doing up?
09:08Didn't your doctor recommend lots of sleep in order for you to feel better?
09:18I got a rather interesting call, and I couldn't go back to sleep.
09:22It occurred. Things must be serious.
09:26No good times for games.
09:29Did you get married to the Lawson girl, meanwhile?
09:32They hate me already.
09:35Don't think there'll be much of a marriage.
09:38You must find a way to marry her.
09:40You must become part of the Lawson family.
09:42What?
09:43Yeah.
09:44I don't understand.
09:45You are willing to marry me off to some girl you've never met.
09:49You barely know. I haven't even introduced you.
09:52Yes.
09:53You have to control the Lawson Empire.
09:56It doesn't belong to them.
09:58What are you talking about?
09:59I don't understand you sometimes, Charles.
10:02You have to marry that girl.
10:04For what your mother owes you.
10:06For what I owe.
10:10I'm tired.
10:11I've had a long day, and I need to...
10:16It's enough. It's enough.
10:18We have to get back what my brother stole from me.
10:22Brother?
10:23We've never talked about family.
10:25I thought they...
10:26You will marry that girl.
10:27You will become part of their family,
10:30and you will make them pay for killing your mother.
10:34You got it?
10:44What are you doing here, Molly?
10:47I just want to get a feel of my office.
10:50I quite like what you've done with this place.
10:53You've just given my interior designers more work to do.
10:57You know what, Molly?
10:58You've always been jealous of me.
11:01But in the past couple of years, you became worse.
11:05I really don't know why you're so obsessed with me.
11:08Obsessed?
11:09Why would I be obsessed with you?
11:11Because I'm everything you wish you could be.
11:15It's sad, honestly.
11:17My advice?
11:18You should get a life.
11:19I think you should leave.
11:20I have an important matter to attend as an acting CEO.
11:29Besides, I don't think you need an interior designer.
11:33You need a stylist.
11:34Father hasn't improved your marriage yet.
11:38And that's the most important condition for you to become CEO.
11:43I have a feeling I'll be taking over.
11:45I'll be taking over.
11:58Beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife.
12:00I bet they smell like shit.
12:07Because they look like shit.
12:09Oh.
12:10You're still here.
12:12Stop.
12:13You're gonna make me just fall for you.
12:15Well, I take my part of the contract very seriously.
12:19About the contract.
12:21I think we could make it work.
12:25Damn you.
12:26Damn you all.
12:29I'll have some of that.
12:31Victor?
12:34I'm not sharing.
12:36Besides, weren't you banned from coming here after that little stand that you pulled?
12:41I mean, I thought you'd knock him out.
12:45Actually, I came here to see you.
12:50Sorry, Victor.
12:52But you're below my standards.
12:54You don't qualify to be my booty call.
12:57Unless...
12:59I put a pillow on your face.
13:01Don't flatter yourself.
13:03I...
13:04Wouldn't fuck you if you were the last thing on Earth.
13:07Okay?
13:09Quite frankly...
13:11You're the only person I can ally with.
13:14Fuck you, Victor.
13:16You're ridiculous.
13:18I would never lie with a squatter like you.
13:20I guess you don't want to be CEO as badly as you say you do.
13:24Don't patronize me.
13:26You have no idea what I want.
13:28If I were you, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting my time.
13:32I would be out there fighting what's mine.
13:36What do you mean?
13:38They're signing the marriage contract as we speak.
13:41Relax.
13:42You'll be here soon.
13:43It's a contractual marriage.
13:45Why do you really want to do this?
13:47You and I will both get what we want from this.
13:49You'll become CEO, and I'll finally get my name out there.
13:50I just want to know why you keep defending me when you barely know me.
13:51I just want to know why you keep defending me when you barely know me.
13:53My mother taught me I should treat women with respect.
13:54Taught.
13:55Does that mean?
13:57Yeah, she was murdered a few years ago.
13:58They never found the person who did it, but my father's raised me as his own ever since.
13:59I don't know.
14:00I just want to know why you keep defending me when you barely know me.
14:01My mother taught me I should treat women with respect.
14:02Taught.
14:03Does that mean?
14:04Yeah, she was murdered a few years ago.
14:05They never found the person who did it, but my father's raised me as his own ever since.
14:29You're lucky my father has your own retainer.
14:31I'm sorry for being late, Miss Lawson.
14:33Chaffik's murder out there.
14:35Give him a break.
14:36We should at least thank him for making time for us on such short notice.
14:40We should at least give a-
14:41Don't you fucking dare!
14:50So I take it you've both read the small print?
14:53And you've both signed documents.
14:58Let's get over with this already.
15:01Will you give us a minute?
15:04If we're going to make this work, we need to add respect to the contract.
15:10I object!
15:18Please don't worry.
15:19We're gonna sell this together.
15:20I promise.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:25I gotta go.
15:26I will talk to you later, okay?
15:28Hmm.
15:30Emma Lawson speaking.
15:31Miss Lawson.
15:32Hi.
15:33I'm Thomas, an attorney at Donovan & Associates.
15:36I regret to inform you the passing of Mr. Jonathan Kingsley.
15:39You've been named in the will.
15:40And it's crucial that you attend the reading tomorrow at 10 AM.
15:43I'm sorry sir, but there must be some misunderstanding.
15:47I barely knew Mr. Kingsley.
15:49There's no mistake.
15:50Mr. Kingsley made his intentions quite clear.
15:52It's imperative you're at the reading.
15:54Okay.
15:55I will be there.
15:56Goodbye.
15:57Well, let's get on with it, Thomas.
15:58We're all here, aren't we?
15:59Actually, we're expecting one more participant.
16:00Another participant?
16:01This is ridiculous.
16:02Who else could it possibly be?
16:04Who else could it possibly be?
16:05And you are?
16:06And you are?
16:08I'm Emma Lawson?
16:09I'm Emma Lawson?
16:10I was invited by the
16:34Emma Lawson?
16:36I was invited by Mr. Thompson.
16:41Well, Ms. Lawson, let's hope for your sake, as the mystery guest, that there's a reason for you to be here.
16:51Let's proceed with the reading of Mr. Jonathan Kingsley's last will and testament.
16:56To whom it may concern, I, Jonathan Kingsley, being of sound mind and body, after much contemplation,
17:02have chosen to bequeath my entire estate, including all assets and interests in the Kingsley Corporation, to Emma Lawson.
17:10It is my firm belief that she possesses the moral fortitude to utilize this fortune in a manner that aligns with the philanthropic principles upon which it was built.
17:20To my family, I have witnessed the corrosive effects of wealth and power on your characters.
17:24The relentless pursuit of more has eclipsed the very values I endeavor to instill.
17:30It is my hope that this decision will serve as a catalyst for reflection and redemption.
17:35Emma must reside in the manor alongside my family for one year to claim her inheritance.
17:41This period is designed to test her resolve, to ensure that the weight of this legacy does not corrupt her as it did my own kin.
17:49Should she succeed, all will be transferred into her name, and she will become the sole guardian of my legacy.
17:57Sincerely, Jonathan Kingsley.
18:00This must be a mistake!
18:05There are no mistakes. Mr. Kingsley's wishes were made, but they're still clear to me.
18:09Why the hell would Jonathan trust a total stranger with his entire legacy? That belongs to my children!
18:18I met Mr. Kingsley only once. We barely spoke. It was a charity event. I'm as surprised as you are!
18:27You walk in here claiming a fortune that rightfully belongs to our bloodline.
18:34How convenient is that you met my father only once? And secure yourself to be in our lives.
18:42This is preposterous! Thomas, there must be some mistake. Jonathan would never...
18:48The will is explicit. There are no mistakes regarding Mr. Kingsley's inheritance when it comes to Emma.
18:54Mr. Kingsley's decisions were made crystal clear to me.
18:57I am the firstborn son of this family, and it's my responsibility to take care of everything that my father left behind!
19:05I don't give a shit about this damn will! How do we even know that you didn't even forge this shit?
19:12That's enough! You know Mr. Thomas lies into this family and has no expectations.
19:20And if he says that's my father's will, then that's his will.
19:23I am ashamed of you, Alexander. Instead of fighting for your own legacy, you're here exposing your daftness!
19:33Jonathan's wishes were made clear to me. His trust in Emma transcends blood tide. Accept it or fight it.
19:40Do not question my loyalty. Loyalty in my ass! We are talking about our legacy here!
19:47I won't let an outsider rewrite our family history!
19:52Emma, do you accept the terms of this will?
20:04We're here.
20:05Yeah, I can see that.
20:07Don't worry, Emma. You have every right to be here. This is what Jonathan wanted.
20:13But why? Why did he choose me? I barely knew him.
20:18You'll see soon enough. Come, let me show you to your room.
20:22Well, well, well. If it isn't the unwanted guest.
20:28I see you decided to stay. How foolish of you.
20:33Hello, Victoria.
20:34Don't hello me!
20:35You think you can walk in here and just take everything that belongs to my family?
20:41Your innocent act doesn't fool me.
20:45I'm here just to honor Jonathan's last will. I don't want any trouble.
20:51Oh, trouble! You haven't even seen trouble. And if you stay here longer, you'll regret setting foot even in this house.
21:01Victoria, please. There's no need for this. Emma's a guest. And she deserves respect.
21:06Respect? Respect for what? For stealing my children's birthright?
21:12Victoria, that's not true. She's just trying to follow his will.
21:17His will? His will is a joke. A cruel joke. And you know what? I won't stand for it.
21:24Nothing is going to stop me from stopping this!
21:29Get out of my way! Get out of my house! You're not welcome here. And you never will be.
21:35Are you okay? Yeah, sure.
21:40Don't worry about her. Come, let me show you to your room.
21:51Here's your room.
22:00I'll allow you to get some rest. I'll be taking you to the company office tomorrow.
22:04Have a nice day. Goodbye.
22:07Goodbye.
22:09I'll be coming tomorrow.
22:12I'm happy.
22:16I'm not happy.
22:17Let's go.
22:19You're playing a dangerous game by staying in Hing's Simulator.
22:24You're playing a dangerous game by staying in Hinksy Manor.
22:37You're not welcomed here and never will be.
22:40If you know what's good for you, you'll pack up and leave before things get worse.
22:47This is your only chance to stay out of our way.
22:53The Watcher.
23:00I have to do it for them.
23:13I'm Alexander, the black chief of this family.
23:28Hi, Alexander.
23:29Hi.
23:30Can I come in?
23:32Oh, yeah.
23:33Sure.
23:34Please come in.
23:36Wow.
23:37Such a quiet room.
23:39I thought I'd always keep this place locked.
23:43I never knew Thomas had the key to it.
23:50It's a drill.
23:51No, not really.
23:53Probably like Alice in Wonderland because everything feels so strange and surreal.
23:59I know what you mean.
24:02This place could be a madhouse sometimes.
24:05And you are Jonathan's youngest son?
24:09Yes.
24:10I'm Alexander.
24:12And the prodigal son, as my mother would like to call me.
24:15Why is that?
24:16You know, because I don't share their obsession about the money, power.
24:22No.
24:23I have some other interests.
24:25Really?
24:26Like what?
24:27Like art, music, traveling.
24:32That sounds wonderful.
24:34Yeah, it is.
24:35It is.
24:36But, you know, they don't understand me.
24:38They're just thinking that I'm losing my potential.
24:42I'm sorry to hear that.
24:43Don't be.
24:44Don't be.
24:45I'm happy with my choices, okay?
24:48And I have a feeling that we have something in common.
24:52Really?
24:53Yeah.
24:54Oh, we both don't belong here.
24:57Well, I guess you're right.
24:59Yeah.
25:00Hey.
25:03Don't be sad.
25:04I'm here to cheer you up, okay?
25:07The way how my mother and brother talked to you wasn't nice.
25:11Sorry.
25:13Thank you for your concern, really.
25:14But I still don't understand why Mr. Jonathan would choose me of all other people.
25:20Look, uh, because he saw something special in you.
25:25I mean, you are not corrupted by greed and envy.
25:29No.
25:30You are the kind of person who willing to take over his empire.
25:34And what about you?
25:35Aren't you a little bitter that an outsider is coming to your house and trying to take what
25:44rightfully belongs to you, his blood?
25:47Um, I've never wanted to take responsibilities and that's made my father disappointed in me.
25:57Well, what was that?
25:58Yeah.
25:59I don't know.
26:00It sounded like...
26:01Victoria!
26:04Mom, what happened?
26:05Emma.
26:09Emma.
26:10I didn't...
26:11I didn't...
26:12I...
26:13I...
26:14I...
26:15I...
26:16I...
26:17I...
26:18I...
26:19I placed it in my teeth.
26:21Call an ambulance!
26:22Now!
26:25You fucking bitch.
26:27Look at what your presence has caused.
26:29If anything happened to my mother, you will regret stepping a foot into this house.
26:34She's innocent, okay?
26:35We were together when we heard her scream.
26:38She wasn't even impacting her stuff when I got in to see her.
26:42How on earth she could possibly put something in mother's tea?
26:47I swear, I didn't do that.
26:49You have to believe me.
26:53Huh.
26:54Okay.
26:55You stepped into this house today.
26:59And...
27:00Wanting to take everything that is ours.
27:03But the tea that my mom takes every single morning almost killed her.
27:08Convenient, isn't it?
27:11Charles.
27:12Come on, buddy.
27:13Let's not jump to conclusions.
27:15Just mom said she did.
27:17It doesn't mean she really did.
27:19I mean, I'm sorry.
27:20But I think Emma's saying the truth.
27:22Okay?
27:23My mother said a glass could be due to something else and that poison.
27:26Is...
27:27Are you calling our mother a liar because of this bitch?
27:33Charles.
27:34I had enough from you.
27:36Please stop calling me bitch.
27:39Or what?
27:41Enough!
27:43Enough!
27:44Oh my god.
27:47Alexander, are you okay?
27:50It's okay.
27:52I've had the worst from him.
27:53Oh my god.
27:55That's all my fault.
27:56If I hadn't come in here, you would be...
28:00No.
28:01Don't you see?
28:03It's not about you.
28:04It's about us.
28:05This family.
28:06We're broken, Emma.
28:07We're just a matter of showing us our reflection.
28:12Broken mirror.
28:13Still cuts.
28:15Never blame yourself for something you didn't start.
28:25Hello?
28:29Oh.
28:31That's great news.
28:34Yeah.
28:35We'll be there soon.
28:36Alright.
28:41Doctor said that, uh...
28:42Mother's going to be fine.
28:44No poison.
28:46Yeah.
28:47That's wonderful.
29:02Leave now or the next break...
29:04Won't miss.
29:06The Watcher.
29:07The Watcher.
29:08The Watcher.
29:16Do you have any idea where's this treat come from?
29:19No, actually, I have no idea.
29:21It started this morning.
29:23I got another one while I was unpacking my suitcase.
29:25The Watcher.
29:26The Watcher.
29:32The Watcher.
29:36Who need to find out who's doing this and why?
29:39But what if it's one of your family members?
29:43It's okay.
29:44We'll go through this together.
29:45We'll go through this together.
29:53Why hasn't she been arrested yet?
29:56Mom.
29:58The doctors found nothing wrong.
30:00There was no poison.
30:01I think they already mentioned that to you.
30:03I don't care what the doctors say.
30:05I know she was behind it.
30:07I want her out of this house.
30:09Victoria.
30:11All I've shown you since I came to this house was love and respect.
30:16And I'm not going to get bullied by you.
30:18Jonathan's will was clear.
30:20And I'm here to honor it.
30:22Don't talk to me about Jonathan's will.
30:26You're nothing but an interloper.
30:30I might be an outsider to you.
30:33But Jonathan saw something in me.
30:35And I don't care what you think.
30:36You might hurt me, but you're not going to break me.
30:47The more you want me out, the more I want to stay.
30:53It is overwhelming.
31:01You belong here, Emma.
31:03Jonathan saw that.
31:04And so do I.
31:06But are they going to see that?
31:08The staff, the board.
31:10They will have to.
31:12You're not just sitting in any chair.
31:14You're sitting in the chair Jonathan wanted you in.
31:17As the CEO.
31:19What is this array?
31:21That's my chair.
31:23And this is my office.
31:25Well, your father had a different thought on that.
31:28But you have no experience.
31:30You have no right.
31:32She has every right, Charles.
31:34The will is clear.
31:36I'm here to lead.
31:37Not to follow.
31:39And definitely not to be screamed at.
31:43So you think you can just walk in and take it over.
31:46This is my life's work.
31:49This is Jonathan's life's work.
31:52And now, my responsibility.
31:53You won't last a week.
31:57Watch me.
31:59You're sitting on your downfall.
32:03And you're standing on the thin ice.
32:05If you're not going to leave now, I'm going to make security to escort you out.
32:10Well done, Emma.
32:11This is just the beginning.
32:12Charles, this isn't the way.
32:13Drowning yourself in alcohol is not going to get back what you've lost.
32:17She took everything, Mother.
32:18How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:19You don't have to sit back.
32:20I have a plan.
32:21You don't have to sit back.
32:22I have a plan.
32:23I have a plan.
32:24How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:25You don't have to sit back.
32:26I have a plan.
32:27I have a plan.
32:28How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:31You don't have to sit back.
32:32I have a plan.
