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.
00:25Please.
00:28What's that?
00:30Freeze!
00:32This must be for this.
00:34And what 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.
01:07I just need five minutes with Gertrude Lawson. Five minutes.
01:11Whew.
01:12Excuse me, Miss Lawson.
01:13I'm Sammy Davis.
01:14I really think you'd be interested in this portfolio I put together.
01:15It's made of...
01:16Oh.
01:17Oh.
01:18Oh.
01:19Oh.
01:20Oh.
01:21Oh.
01:22Oh.
01:23Oh.
01:24Oh.
01:25Oh.
01:26Oh.
01:27Oh.
01:28Oh.
01:29Oh.
01:30Oh.
01:31Oh.
01:32Oh.
01:33Oh.
01:34Oh.
01:35Oh.
01:36Oh.
01:37Oh.
01:38Oh.
01:39Oh.
01:40Oh.
01:41Oh.
01:42I'm so sorry.
01:43Hmm.
01:46Pyro.
01:47These numbers... they're not bad?
01:49You think so?
01:50They're just product margins from the company I've been working for.
01:54Hmm.
01:58Follow me.
01:59I don't have time to do this yet.
02:05You want something from me, I want something from you.
02:12What are you talking about?
02:15A marriage proposal, business only.
02:19In exchange, I'll hire your company to issue and test new investment methods and tools of analysis for mine.
02:28What?
02:35A contract marriage? Really, Gertrude? I'm not the kind of man who'll just sell himself for favors.
02:42Over the years, I've learned that everything, everyone has a price, Sam.
02:48And here I thought you were a businessman.
02:52Unless your little sense of honor has turned you into an idolist.
02:59Well, what about your ex, Victor? I hear he's been chasing you like a hawk.
03:04You really think he's going to 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.
03:14And I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
03:17Look, I'm offering you more money than those two-bit companies you've been bending over backwards for.
03:25Unless, of course, your heart's been spoken for.
03:31And my heart has not been spoken for. And I'm not a fool.
03:35Six months, Sam. That's all. No emotion. No romance. Just an agreement.
03:44So, it's just a regular contract like any other.
03:49So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:53So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:57Ah, I've been looking for you.
04:00Excuse me?
04:03And who's this? Is this your latest business acquisition?
04:08You must be Victor.
04:13I 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?
04:24I'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.
04:39Get out, Victor. Now.
04:41You are mine. Forever 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! My dear sister.
05:14What a pleasant surprise.
05:17And you brought a new pet.
05:20I don't know. Maybe I have one of those familiar faces.
05:24It must have been an exciting few days.
05:27I must believe it was the purpose of your trip.
05:30Believe what you want.
05:32The company is never going to be yours.
05:36I was born to better you.
05:39Enjoy it while it lasts.
05:42My 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.
05:56I 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.
06:09Sam, you better watch her back.
06:12My sister was never good at protecting what's hers.
06:15Ignore her. She's always been a jealous bitch.
06:21I'll get where it's mine. You'll see.
06:24You better learn when to stop barking.
06:33On cue.
06:34What the fuck is going on here then?
06:36Gertrude is about to introduce her new husband to our father.
06:39Oh, you're rejecting me for this.
06:45What are you doing here, Victor?
06:47You 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, I see what this is, yeah?
06:58She's a little guard dog, isn't he?
07:00You know what?
07:01You're the biggest mistake she's ever made.
07:05From 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.
07:15You can't even keep your playthings in check.
07:17How are you going to run the company?
07:19Didn't you have something better to do?
07:21Like, sleep off the excess alcohol, maybe?
07:24A drunk needs some kind of entertainment.
07:27I better stay for the fight.
07:29And my money is on Mr. Playboy.
07:31I bet he'll put you in your place.
07:34What?
07:37Oh!
07:39Oh!
07:40Oh!
07:41Oh!
07:42Oh!
07:43Oh!
07:44No!
07:45Oh!
07:46Oh!
07:47No!
07:48No!
07:50Oh!
07:51Ugh!
07:52Now...
07:53Victor!
07:54No, no, no.
07:56I know punching Victor wasn't part of the contract, but...
08:14Why did you do that?
08:15I can take care of myself.
08:16I didn't say you couldn't.
08:19Just think if we're going to make this work, we need to show that I'm on your side.
08:23Open this goddamn 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.
08:47Who's your friend?
08:49Father, 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.
09:04I wish I could say the same.
09:08What are you doing up?
09:14Didn'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.
09:23Look her, things must be serious.
09:26No good times for games.
09:29Did you get married to the Lawson girl meanwhile?
09:31They hate me already.
09:35Don't think there'll be much of a marriage.
09:37You must find a way to marry her.
09:40You must become part of the Lawson family.
09:43What?
09:44Yeah.
09:45I don't understand.
09:46You are willing to marry me off to some girl you've never met.
09:49You barely know.
09:50I haven't even introduced you.
09:52Yes.
09:53You have to control the Lawson empire.
09:56It doesn't belong to them.
09:57What 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.
10:17It'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.
10:28You 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.
11:04I really don't know why you're so obsessed with me.
11:07Obsessed?
11:08Why would I be obsessed with you?
11:10Because I'm everything you wish you could be.
11:14It's sad, honestly.
11:16My advice?
11:17You should get a life.
11:18I think you should leave.
11:19I 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.
11:35Father hasn't improved your marriage yet.
11:38And that's the most important condition for you to become CEO.
11:42I have a feeling I'll be taking over.
11:46Beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife.
12:01I bet they smell like shit because they look like shit.
12:08Oh, you're still here.
12:11Stop.
12:12If you're gonna make me just fall for you.
12:15Well, I take my part of the contract very seriously.
12:18About the contract.
12:20I think we could make it work.
12:23Damn you.
12:25Damn you all.
12:27I'll have some of that.
12:30Victor?
12:31I'm not sharing.
12:35Besides, why'd you ban from coming here after that little stand that you pulled?
12:40I mean, I thought you'd knock him out.
12:44Actually, I came here to see you.
12:48Sorry Victor, but you're below my standards.
12:53You don't qualify to be my boutique hall.
12:56Unless I put a pillow on your face.
13:00Don't flatter yourself.
13:02I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last thing on earth, okay?
13:07Quite frankly, you're the only person I can ally with.
13:13Fuck you, Victor.
13:15You're ridiculous.
13:17I 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.
13:25You have no idea what I want.
13:27If I were you, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting my time.
13:32I would be out there fighting what's mine.
13:35What do you mean?
13:37Deciding the marriage contract as we speak.
13:41Relax.
13:42I'll be here soon.
13:43It's a contractual marriage.
13:44Why do you really want to do this?
13:45You and I will both get what we want from this.
13:46You'll become CEO, and I'll finally get my name out there.
13:48I just want to know why you keep defending me when you barely know me.
13:50My mother taught me I should treat women with respect.
13:57Taught.
13:58Does that mean?
13:59Yeah, she was murdered a few years ago.
14:00They never found the person who did it, but my father's raised me as his own ever since.
14:12You are lucky my father has your own retainer.
14:13I'm sorry for being late, Miss Lawson.
14:14Chaffix's murdered out there.
14:15Give him a break.
14:16We should at least thank him for making time for us on such short notice.
14:17We should at least...
14:18Don't you fucking dare.
14:19Don't you fucking dare.
14:20I'm sorry.
14:21I'm sorry for being late, Miss Lawson.
14:22Chaffix's murdered out there.
14:23Give him a break.
14:24We should at least thank him for making time for us on such short notice.
14:41We should at least...
14:42Don't you fucking dare!
14:43So I take it you've both wrote the small print?
14:53And you've both signed documents.
14:55Let's get over with this already.
15:00Will you give us a minute?
15:02If we're going to make this work, we need to add respect to the contract.
15:07I object!
15:11Please don't worry.
15:12We're going to sell this together.
15:13I promise.
15:14I'm sorry.
15:15I gotta go.
15:16I will talk to you later, okay?
15:17Emma Lawson speaking.
15:18Miss Lawson.
15:19Hi.
15:20I'm Thomas.
15:21An attorney at Donovan & Associates.
15:22I regret to inform you of the passing of Mr. Jonathan Kingsley.
15:26You've been named in the will.
15:27And it's crazy.
15:28I'm sorry.
15:29I'm sorry.
15:30I'm sorry.
15:31I'm sorry.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:33I'm sorry.
15:34I'm sorry.
15:35I'm sorry.
15:36I'm sorry.
15:37I'm sorry.
15:38I'm sorry.
15:39I'm sorry.
15:40And it's crucial that you attend the reading tomorrow at 10 AM.
15:43I'm sorry, sir.
15:44But there must be some misunderstanding.
15:47I barely knew Mr. Kingsley.
15:49There's no mistake.
15:50Mr. Kingsley made his intentions quite clear.
15:53It's imperative you're at the reading.
15:54Okay.
15:55I will be there.
15:57Goodbye.
15:58Well, let's get on with it, Thomas.
16:12We're all here, aren't we?
16:14Actually, we're expecting one more participant.
16:17Another participant?
16:19This is ridiculous.
16:20Who else could it possibly be?
16:28And you are?
16:31And you are?
16:34I'm Emma Lawson.
16:36I was invited by Mr. Thompson.
16:38Well, 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, have chosen to bequeath my entire estate, including all assets and interests in the Kingsley Corporation, to Emma Lawson.
17:11It 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.
17:21To my family, I have witnessed the corrosive effects of wealth and power on your characters.
17:25The relentless pursuit of more has eclipsed the very values I endeavor to instill.
17:31It is my hope that this decision will serve as a catalyst for reflection and redemption.
17:36Emma must reside in the manor alongside my family for one year to claim her inheritance.
17:42This 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.
17:59Sincerely, Jonathan Kingsley.
18:04This must be a mistake.
18:06There are no mistakes. Mr. Kingsley's wishes were made. They're still clear to me.
18:10Why 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.
18:43This is preposterous! Thomas, there must be some mistake. Jonathan would never...
18:49The will is explicit.
18:51There are no mistakes regarding Mr. Kingsley's inheritance when it comes to Emma.
18:55Mr. 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.
19:06I don't give a shit about this damn will. How do we even know that you didn't even forge this shit?
19:13That's enough.
19:15You know Mr. Thomas lies into this family and has no expectations.
19:21And 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!
19:34Jonathan's wishes were made clear to me. His trust in Emma transcends blood tide. Accept it or fight it. Do not question my loyalty.
19:43Loyalty in my ass! We are talking about our legacy here! I won't let an outsider rewrite our family history!
19:53Emma, do you accept the terms of this will?
20:05We're here.
20:07Yeah, I can see that.
20:09Don't worry, Emma. You have every right to be here. This is what Jonathan wanted.
20:14But why? Why did he choose me? I barely knew him.
20:18You'll see soon enough. Come, let me show you to your room.
20:23Well, well, well. If it isn't the unwanted guest.
20:29I see you decided to stay. How foolish of you.
20:33Hello, Victoria.
20:34Don't hello me! You think you can walk in here and just take everything that belongs to my family? Your innocent act doesn't fool me.
20:47I'm here just to honor Jonathan's last will. I don't want any trouble.
20:52Oh, trouble! You haven't even seen trouble. And if you stay here longer, you'll regret setting foot even in this house.
21:02Victoria, please. There's no need for this. Emma's a guest. And she deserves respect.
21:07Respect? 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.
21:22And you know what? I won't stand for it. Nothing is going to stop me from stopping this!
21:29Get out of my way! Get out of my house!
21:32You're not welcome here. And you never will be.
21:37Are you okay?
21:38Yeah, sure.
21:41Don't worry about her.
21:43Come, let me show you to your room.
21:51Here's your room.
22:00I'll allow you to get some rest.
22:02I'll be taking you to the company office tomorrow.
22:05Have a nice day.
22:06Goodbye.
22:08You're playing a dangerous game by staying in Hinksy Mater.
22:11You're playing a dangerous game by staying in Hinksy Mater.
22:12You're not welcomed here and never will be.
22:16If you know what's good for you, you'll pack up and leave before things get worse.
22:17You're playing a dangerous game by staying in Hinksy Mater.
22:21You're not welcomed here and never will be.
22:22If you know what's good for you, you'll pack up and leave before things get worse.
22:26This is your only chance.
22:27This is your only chance to stay out of our way.
22:31The Watcher.
22:32This is your only chance to stay out of our way.
22:36The Watcher.
22:37I have to do it for them.
22:38I have to do it for them.
22:39I have to do it for them.
22:40I have to do it for them.
22:41I have to do it for them.
22:42I have to do it for them.
22:43I have to do it for them.
22:44I have to do it for them.
22:53The Watcher.
23:05I have to do it for them.
23:23Hi, Emma. I'm Alexander. Ah, the black chief of this family.
23:29Hi, Alexander.
23:30Hi. Um, can I come in?
23:32Oh, yeah, sure. Please, come in.
23:39Wow. Such a quiet room.
23:43My father always keep this place locked. I never knew Thomas had the key to it.
23:49You must feel like a son driller.
23:51No, not really. Probably like Alice in Wonderland, because everything feels so strange and surreal.
24:00I know what you mean. This place could be a madhouse sometimes.
24:07And you are Jonathan's youngest son?
24:10Yes, I'm Alexander, and the prodigal son, as my mother would like to call me.
24:15Why is that?
24:16Uh, you know, because I don't share their obsession about the money, power. No. I have some other interests.
24:25Really? Like what?
24:27Like art, music, traveling.
24:33That sounds wonderful.
24:34Yeah, it is. It is. But, you know, they don't understand me. They're just thinking that I'm losing my potential.
24:41I'm sorry to hear that.
24:44Don't be. Don't be. I'm happy with my choices, okay? And, uh, I have a feeling that we have something in common.
24:52Really? Yeah. Like what?
24:54Um, we both don't belong here.
24:57Well, I guess you're right.
24:59Yeah. Hey.
25:01Don't be sad. I'm here to cheer you up, okay?
25:07The way how my mother and brother talked to you wasn't nice. Sorry.
25:12Thank you for your concern, really, but I still don't understand why Mr. Jonathan would choose me of all other people.
25:21Look, uh, because he saw something special in you. I mean, you are not corrupted by greed and envy. No. You are the kind of person who would like to take over his empire.
25:34And what about you? Aren't you a little bitter that an outsider is coming to your house and trying to take what rightfully belongs to you, his blood?
25:47Mmm. I've never wanted to take responsibilities and that's made my father disappointed in me.
25:57Whoa. What was that?
25:58I don't know. It sounded like...
26:01Victoria!
26:04Mom, what happened?
26:09Emma... Emma...
26:11The poison...
26:13I didn't...
26:16I...
26:19The poison in my teeth...
26:21Call an ambulance! Now!
26:25You fucking bitch.
26:27Look at what your presence has caused.
26:29If anything happened to my mother, she will regret stepping your foot into today's house!
26:34She's innocent, okay? We were together when we heard her scream. She wasn't even unpacking her stuff when I got in to see her.
26:42How on earth she could possibly put something in mother's tea?
26:46I swear, I didn't do that! You have to believe me!
26:50Huh. Okay.
26:51You stepped into this house today. And... wanting to take everything that is ours. But the tea that my mom takes every single morning almost killed her. Convenient, isn't it?
27:09Charles, come on, buddy. Let's not jump to conclusions. Just mom said she did. It doesn't mean she really did. I mean, I'm sorry, but I think Emma's saying the truth, okay?
27:22My mother said a glass could be due to something else and that poison.
27:28Are you calling our mother a liar because of this bitch?
27:33Charles, I had enough from you. Please stop calling me bitch.
27:39Or what?
27:41Enough!
27:43Enough!
27:47Oh my god. Alexander, are you okay?
27:49It's okay.
27:52I've had the worst from him.
27:54Oh my god. That's all my fault. If I hadn't come in here, you would be...
28:00No. Don't you see? It's not about you. It's about us. This family. We're broken, Emma. We're just a mirror showing us our reflection.
28:12Broken mirror, steel cuts.
28:15Never blame yourself for something you didn't start.
28:17Hello?
28:18Oh, uh. That's a great news. Thank you. Yeah. We'll be there soon. Alright.
28:20Doctor said that, uh, matter is going to be fine. No poison?
28:22Yeah. That's wonderful.
28:23That's wonderful.
28:25Pfft.
28:26Pfft.
28:27Pfft.
28:28Pfft.
28:30Pfft.
28:31Pfft.
28:32Pfft.
28:33Pfft.
28:34Leave now or the next break.
28:35Leave now or the next break.
28:36Won't miss.
28:37Won't miss.
28:38Leave now or the next break.
28:39Won't miss.
28:40Doctor said that matter is going to be fine. No poison.
28:45Yeah.
28:47That's wonderful.
29:01Leave now or the next break won't miss.
29:05The Watcher. The Watcher.
29:16Do you have any idea where this treat comes from?
29:19No, actually, I have no idea. It started this morning.
29:23I got another one while I was unpacking my suitcase.
29:32The Watcher.
29:35We 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. We'll go through this together.
29:53Why hasn't she been arrested yet?
29:56Mom, the doctors found nothing wrong with you.
30:00There was no poison. I think they already mentioned that to you.
30:03I don't care what the doctors say.
30:05I know she was behind it. I want her out of this house.
30:09Victoria.
30:11All I've shown you since I came to this house was love and respect.
30:15And I'm not going to get bullied by you.
30:18Jonathan's will was clear and I'm here to honor it.
30:22Don't talk to me about Jonathan's will.
30:25You're nothing but an interloper.
30:28I might be an outsider to you.
30:32But Jonathan saw something in me.
30:34And I don't care what you think.
30:37You might hurt me.
30:44But 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. Jonathan saw that. And so do I.
31:06Well, are they going to see that? The staff, the board.
31:11They will have to.
31:12You're not just sitting in any chair.
31:14You're sitting in the chair Jonathan wanted you in.
31:16As the CEO.
31:19What is this array?
31:21That's my chair. And this is my office.
31:24Well, your father had a different thought on that.
31:28Well, you have no experience. You have no right.
31:31She has every right, Charles. The will is clear.
31:36I'm here to lead, not 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.
31:56You won't last a week.
31:59Watch me.
32:02You're sitting on your downfall.
32:06And you're standing on the thin ice.
32:09If you're not going to leave now, I'm going to make security to escort you out.
32:21Well done, Emma.
32:23This is just the beginning.
32:24Charles, this isn't the way.
32:25Drowning yourself in alcohol is not going to get back what you've lost.
32:35She took everything, Mother.
32:38How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:43You don't have to sit back.
32:44I have a plan.
32:45I have a plan.
32:46I have a plan.
