Short filmTranscript
00:00I will allow a six-month engagement, during which you both follow my rules.
00:05Otherwise, Molly becomes an insidio.
00:11Wow! My dear sister!
00:14Beautiful 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.
01:22in five minutes. Excuse me, Ms. Lawson. I'm Sammy Davis. I really think you'd be interested
01:35in this portfolio I put together. It's made of... I'm so sorry. These numbers, they're
01:47not bad. You think so? They're just product margins from the company I've been
01:52working for. Follow me. I don't have time with this yet. You want something from me? I want
02:10something from you. What are you talking about? A marriage proposal. Business only. In
02:19exchange I'll hire your company to issue and test new investment methods and
02:25tools of analysis for mine. What? A contract marriage. Really, Gertrude? I'm not the
02:39kind of man who will just sell himself for favors. Over the years I've learned that
02:44everything, everyone, has a price, Sam. And here I thought you were a businessman. Unless your
02:54little sense of honor has turned you into an idolist. Well, what about your ex, Victor?
03:01I hear he's been chasing you like a hawk. You really think he's gonna give up when
03:06he finds out what you've been planning? I'll handle, Victor. All you have to do is stick
03:10to your side of the marriage contract. And I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
03:18Look, I'm offering you more money than those two-bit companies you've been bending over
03:23backwards for. Unless, of course, your heart's been spoken for. And my heart has not been spoken for.
03:33And I'm not a fool. Six months, Sam. That's all. No emotion. No romance. Just an agreement.
03:43So it's just a regular contract like any other. So, do we have a deal, Sam?
03:55Oh, do we have a deal, Sam? I've been looking for you.
04:02Excuse me? And who's this? Is this your latest business acquisition?
04:07You must be Victor. I 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. Oh, this is some kind of joke.
04:29Gertrude, you love your little games, but you'll never find anyone as good as me.
04:37Get 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. Can we get back to signing documents?
05:01Oh, you'd prefer meeting the family first.
05:07Wow. My dear sister. What a pleasant surprise.
05:17And you brought a new pet.
05:21I don't know. Maybe I have one of those familiar faces.
05:25This must have been an exciting few days. I must believe it was the purpose of your trip.
05:30Believe what you want. The company is never going to be yours.
05:36I was born to better you.
05:40Enjoy it while it lasts.
05:42My sister has always had a habit of losing interest in her little play toys.
05:48You must just find yourself on a clearance rack.
05:54Clearance rack. How pathetic.
05:58I assure you, my, 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. My sister was never good at protecting what's hers.
06:18Ignore her. She's always been a jealous bitch.
06:21I'll get where it's mine. You'll see.
06:23You better learn when to stop barking.
06:26You 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.
06:42You'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.
06:52Oh, I see what this is, yeah? She's a little guard dog, isn't he?
07:00You know what? You'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 play things in check.
07:17How are you going to run the company?
07:19Don't you have something better to do? Like, 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.
07:32I bet he'll put you in your place.
07:34I bet he'll put you in your place.
07:54Victor!
07:59God.
08:00What's going on?
08:01What's going on?
08:02What the fuck is going on?
08:03I know punching Victor wasn't a part of the contract, but...
08:13Why 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.
08:22Open this goddamn door!
08:25Go home, Victor, you're drunk!
08:28I have to make sure they know I care about you, too.
08:31Father!
08:35Victor's gone to sleep it off.
08:38I see you're back and you brought a guest.
08:41I am sorry for my part I played in this, sir.
08:44Well, he shows promise already.
08:47Who's your friend?
08:49Father, I'd like you to meet my husband, Sammy Davis.
08:56By any misfortune, are you related to Charles Davis?
09:00Actually, he's my stepfather.
09:02It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
09:04I wish I could say the same.
09:07What 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.
09:21And I couldn't go back to sleep.
09:23Victor, 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.
09:37You must find a way to marry her.
09:39You 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.
09:50You barely know.
09:51I 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 for what your mother owes you, for 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.
11:02But 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.
11:20I think you should leave.
11:21I have an important matter to attend as an acting CEO.
11:30Besides, 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.
11:43I have a feeling I'll be taking over.
11:46I have a feeling I can't.
12:08look like shit. Oh, you're still here. Stop. You're gonna make me just fall for you. Well, I take my part
12:16of the contract very seriously. About the contract. I think we could make it work. Damn you. Damn you all.
12:27I'll have some of that. Victor? I'm not sharing. Besides, why'd you ban from coming here after that
12:39little stand that you pulled? I mean, I thought you'd knock him out. Actually, I came here to see you.
12:50Sorry, Victor, but you're below my standards. You don't qualify to be my boutique hall.
12:55Unless I put a pillow on your face. Don't flatter yourself. I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last
13:05thing on earth, okay? Quite frankly, you're the only person I can ally with. Fuck you, Victor.
13:15You're ridiculous. I would never lie with a squatter like you. I guess you don't want to be CEO as badly
13:22as you say you do. Don't patronize me. You have no idea what I want. If I were you, I wouldn't be sitting
13:30here waiting my time. I would be out there fighting with what's mine. What do you mean?
13:38They're signing the marriage contract as we speak.
13:41Relax. We'll be here soon. It's a contractual marriage.
13:51Why do you really want to do this?
13:54You and I will both get what we want from this.
13:57You'll become CEO, and I'll finally get my name out there.
14:01I just want to know why you keep defending me
14:04when you barely know me.
14:09My mother taught me I should treat women with respect.
14:13Taught.
14:15Does that mean...
14:17Yeah, she was murdered a few years ago.
14:20They never found the person who did it, but my father's raised me as his own ever since.
14:28You're lucky my father has your own retainer.
14:31I'm sorry for being late, Miss Lawson. Chaffix's murder out there.
14:35Give him a break. We should at least thank him for making time for us on such short notice.
14:40We should at least...
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.
15:00Will 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. We're gonna sell this together. I promise.
15:22I'm sorry.
15:25I gotta go. I will talk to you later, okay?
15:27Emma Lawson speaking.
15:31Miss Lawson. Hi, I'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 a.m.
15:43I'm sorry, sir, but there must be some misunderstanding.
15:46I barely knew Mr. Kingsley.
15:48There's no mistake. Mr. Kingsley made his intentions quite clear. It's imperative you're at the reading.
15:53Okay. I will be there. Goodbye.
15:57Goodbye.
16:09Well, let's get on with it, Thomas. We're all here, aren't we?
16:13Actually, we're expecting one more participant.
16:17Another participant? This is ridiculous. Who else could it possibly be?
16:22And you are? And you are? I'm Emma Lawson.
16:36I was invited by Mr. Thompson.
16:38Well, Miss 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.
16:55To 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
17:07Kingsley Corporation, to Emma Lawson. It is my firm belief that she possesses the moral
17:13fortitude to utilize this fortune in a manner that aligns with the philanthropic principles
17:18upon which it was built. To my family, I have witnessed the corrosive effects of wealth
17:23and power on your characters. The relentless pursuit of more has eclipsed the very values
17:28I endeavor to instill. It is my hope that this decision will serve as a catalyst for reflection
17:34and redemption. Emma must reside in the manor alongside my family for one year to claim her
17:40inheritance. This period is designed to test her result, to ensure that the weight of this legacy
17:46does not corrupt her as it did my own kin. Should she succeed, all will be transferred
17:53into her name, and she will become the sole guardian of my legacy. Sincerely, Jonathan Kingsley.
18:04This must be a mistake. There are no mistakes. Mr. Kingsley's wishes were made,
18:08but they're still clear to me. Why the hell would Jonathan trust a total stranger with his entire legacy?
18:16That belongs to my children. I met Mr. Kingsley only once. We barely spoke. It was a charity event.
18:25I'm as surprised as you are. You 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. I am the firstborn son of this family,
19:01and it's my responsibility to take care of everything that my father left behind. I don't give a
19:07shit about this damn will. How do we even know that he didn't even forge this shit?
19:13That's enough. You know Mr. Thomas lies into this family and has no expectations. And if he says
19:21that's my father's will, then that's his will. I am ashamed of you, Alexander. Instead of fighting for
19:29your own legacy, you're here exposing your daftness. Jonathan's wishes were made clear to me.
19:36His trust in Emma transcends bloodtide. 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?
20:04We're here. Yeah, I can see that. Don't worry, Emma. You have every right to be here. This is what
20:12Jonathan wanted. But why? Why did he choose me? I barely knew him. You'll see soon enough. Come, let me
20:20show you to your room. Well, well, well. If it isn't the unwanted guest. I see you decided to stay.
20:31How foolish of you. Hello, Victoria. Don't hello me. You think you can walk in here and just take
20:39everything that belongs to my family? Your innocent act doesn't fool me. I'm here just to honor
20:49Jonathan's last will. I don't want any trouble. Oh, trouble. You haven't even seen trouble. And if
20:56you stay here longer, you'll regret setting foot even in this house. Victoria, please,
21:02there's no need for this. Emma's a guest and she deserves respect. Respect? Respect for what? For
21:10stealing my children's birthright? Victoria, 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. Get out of my way. Get out of my house.
21:32You're not welcome here. And you never will be. Are you okay? Yeah, sure.
21:39Don't worry about her. Come, let me show you two. Here's your room.
22:00I'll allow you to get some rest. I'll be taking you to the company office tomorrow. Have a nice day.
22:05Bye. Goodbye.
22:17You'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.
22:46This is your only chance to stay out of our way, the Watcher.
23:05I have to do it for them.
23:14Hi, I'm Alexander, the black chief of this family.
23:28Hi, Alexander.
23:29Hi.
23:30Can I come in?
23:32Oh yeah, sure.
23:33Please come in.
23:34Wow, such a quiet room.
23:41I thought I'd always keep this place locked.
23:45I never knew Thomas had the key to it.
23:48You must feel like a son Drilla.
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 mad house sometimes.
24:06And you are Jonathan's youngest son?
24:09Yes, I'm Alexander and the product I thought 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, I have some other interests.
24:25Really?
24:26Like what?
24:27Like art, music, traveling.
24:31That sounds wonderful.
24:33Yeah, it is.
24:34It is.
24:35But, you know, they don't understand me.
24:38They're just thinking that I'm losing my potential.
24:41I'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.
24:54Like what?
24:55I don't belong here.
24:56Well, I guess you're right.
24:58Yeah.
24:59Hey.
25:02Don'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.
25:12Thank you for your concern, really.
25:14But I still don't understand why Mr. Jonathan would choose me of all other people.
25:20Look, because he saw something special in you.
25:24I 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.
25:36And what about you?
25:37Aren'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?
25:47Mmm.
25:48I've never wanted to take responsibilities and that's made my father disappointed in me.
25:53Whoa.
25:54What was that?
25:55I don't know.
25:56It sounded like...
25:57Victoria!
25:58Mom!
25:59What happened?
26:00Emma!
26:01Emma!
26:02Emma!
26:03The poison!
26:04I didn't...
26:05I'm sorry.
26:06I put it in my teeth.
26:07Call an ambulance!
26:08Now!
26:09You fucking bitch.
26:10Look at what your presence has caused.
26:12If anything happened to my mother, you will regret stepping a foot into this house.
26:19She's innocent, okay?
26:20She's innocent, okay?
26:21We were together when we heard her scream.
26:22She wasn't even impacting her stuff when I got in to see her.
26:24How on earth she could possibly put something in mother's tea?
26:25I swear, I didn't do that.
26:26You have to believe me.
26:27You have to believe me.
26:28Huh.
26:29Okay.
26:30You stepped into this house today.
26:31And...
26:32I didn't do that.
26:33You have to believe me.
26:34Huh.
26:35Okay.
26:36You stepped into this house today.
26:37And...
26:38Wanting to take everything that is ours.
26:39But the tea that might have been in my house, that's why I didn't have to believe
26:41that.
26:42She's innocent, okay?
26:43We were together when we heard her scream.
26:44She wasn't even impacting her stuff when I got in to see her.
26:45How on earth she could possibly put something in mother's tea.
26:46I swear, I didn't do that.
26:49You have to believe me.
26:50Huh.
26:51Okay.
26:52You stepped into this house today.
26:57And...
26:59Wanting to take everything that is ours.
27:02But the tea that my mom takes every single morning almost killed her.
27:08Convenient, isn't it?
27:10George.
27:11Come on, buddy.
27:12Let's not jump to conclusions.
27:14Just mom said she did.
27:16It doesn't mean she really did.
27:18I mean, I'm sorry.
27:19But I think Emma's saying the truth.
27:21Okay?
27:22My mother said a glass could be due to something else and that poison.
27:27Are you calling our mother a liar because of this bitch?
27:31Charles.
27:32I had enough from you.
27:34Please stop calling me bitch.
27:36Or what?
27:37Enough!
27:38Enough!
27:39Oh my god.
27:40Alexander, are you okay?
27:41It's okay.
27:42I've had the worst for her, ma'am.
27:43Oh my god.
27:44That's all my fault.
27:45If I hadn't come in here, you would be...
27:46No.
27:47Don't you see?
27:48It's not about you.
27:49It's about us.
27:50This family.
27:51We're broken, Emma.
27:52We're broken, Emma.
27:53We're just the mirror showing us our reflection.
27:54Broken mirror still cuts.
27:55Never blame yourself for something you didn't start.
27:59Hello?
28:00Don't you see?
28:02It's not about you, it's about us.
28:05This family, we're broken Emma.
28:07We're just a mirror showing us our reflection.
28:12Broken mirror, still cut.
28:14Never blame yourself for something you didn't start.
28:25Hello?
28:26Oh, uh, that's great news.
28:32Thank you, yeah.
28:34We'll be there soon.
28:36Alright.
28:40Doctor said that matter is going to be fine.
28:43No poison.
28:45Yeah.
28:46That's wonderful.
28:56Leave now or the next break won't miss.
29:04The Watcher.
29:06The Watcher.
29:08Do you have any idea where this treat come from?
29:14No, actually, I have no idea.
29:16It started this morning.
29:17I got another one while I was unpacking my suitcase.
29:20The Watcher.
29:22We need to find out who's doing this and why.
29:24But what if it's one of your family members?
29:26It's okay.
29:27We need to find out who's doing this and why.
29:29But what if it's one of your family members?
29:32It's okay.
29:33We'll go through this together.
29:34Why hasn't she been arrested yet?
29:38Mom, the doctor's found nothing wrong with you.
29:41There was no poison.
29:43I think they already mentioned that to you.
29:46I don't care what the doctor said.
29:47I know she was behind it.
29:49I want her out of this house.
29:50I want her out of this house.
29:51It's okay, we just need to be a traitor.
29:52I want her out of this house.
29:53I know what about her.
29:54Why doesn't she arrest you?
29:57Yeah, Sturge.
29:58Why hasn't she been arrested yet?
30:01Mom, the collectors found nothing wrong with you.
30:03I want her out of this house.
30:04Why wasn't she arrested you?
30:06I didn't mean she was behind me.
30:07out of this house!
30:09Victoria, all I've shown you since I came to this house was love and respect and I'm
30:16not gonna get bullied by you. Jonathan's will was clear and I'm here to honor it.
30:21Don't talk to me about Jonathan's will. You're nothing but an interloper!
30:28I might be an outsider to you but Jonathan saw something in me and I don't
30:35care what you think.
30:42You might hurt me but you're not gonna break me. The more you want me out the
30:49more I want to stay.
30:53It is overwhelming.
30:57You belong here Emma. Jonathan saw that and so do I.
31:06But are they gonna see that? The staff, the board?
31:10They will have to. You're not just sitting in any chair. You're sitting in the chair Jonathan wanted you in.
31:16As the CEO.
31:19What is this array? That's my chair and this is my office.
31:23Well, your father had a different thought on that.
31:27You have no experience. You have no right.
31:31She has every right Charles. The will is clear.
31:35I'm here to lead. Not to follow. And definitely not to be screamed at.
31:42So you think you can just walk in and take it over?
31:46This is my life's work!
31:48This is Jonathan's life's work. And now my responsibility.
31:53You won't last a week. Watch me.
32:03You're sitting on your downfall.
32:06And you're standing on the thin ice.
32:09If you're not gonna leave now, I'm gonna make security to escort you out.
32:13Well done, Emma.
32:23This is just the beginning.
32:28Charles, this isn't the way. Drowning yourself in alcohol is not going to get back what you've lost.
32:36She took everything, mother. How can I sit back and watch her take everything that's mine?
32:42You don't have to sit back.
32:45I have a plan.
