FunTranscript
00:00Finally, a billionaire called Mr. Van Louie realizes he's living his last days.
00:06He decides to leave all his huge fortune to someone.
00:10After thinking it over, he's left with seven candidates.
00:13Each person is different from the others.
00:16Each has their own motives and merits.
00:18And each and every one of them has some hidden secrets.
00:23Before making the final decision, Mr. Louie decides to listen to the candidates' life
00:27stories to figure out who truly deserves the inheritance.
00:32But keep in mind that not everything is as it seems, and sometimes it's the loveliest
00:37people who hide the darkest secrets.
00:41But before we eavesdrop on the conversations the billionaire is having with his nearest
00:46and dearest, let's sneak a peek at the characters and life stories of these people.
00:52The first on the list is 40-year-old Alex, Van's eldest son.
00:57At first sight, he's a successful businessman, just like his father.
01:02Since childhood, he's always been trying to please Mr. Louie.
01:05And now, he's sick and tired of his image of a good son.
01:10It might be the reason why his business is in deep crisis, and the situation is so bad
01:15that the word bankruptcy has already been whispered.
01:19But is Alex desperate enough to do something unforgivable?
01:22We'll see.
01:24Maria is 35 years old.
01:27She's the middle daughter and a talented artist.
01:30Unlike her elder brother, she's always been independent, which caused a rift between her
01:34and Alex.
01:36But even though she looks cheerful and carefree, she's in debt and currently experiences too
01:41much drama in her life.
01:44She hopes that the inheritance can help her fix her career and recover from a financial
01:48setback.
01:49John, Mr. Louie's 33-year-old youngest son, is disabled.
01:55But despite the limitations of his own body, he's a doctor, and a good one at that.
02:01He is devoted to his profession, and spends most of his time in hospital helping people.
02:08Van has known his best friend, Helen, since they were kids.
02:11Helen is 65 years old, and she's been with him through many ups and downs.
02:16At the moment, she's working as a volunteer helping those in need.
02:20She hopes she'll get the inheritance.
02:22She's always speaking of opening her own shelter for homeless animals.
02:27Peter, who is 50 years old, is Van's trusted business partner and confidant, who has always
02:33helped Mr. Louie in all his endeavors.
02:37Peter seems to be dedicated to his work, and it might even be true.
02:41But his true intention is to take over Van's company after the man passes away.
02:46Is Peter eager enough to speed up this process?
02:49We'll see, I guess.
02:52Anna is 28 years old, and she's Mr. Louie's housemaid.
02:57She's been working for him since she was 20, and has earned a reputation of a modest and
03:02hard-working young woman.
03:04Anna has got a small son, and she dreams that he will study in the best college in the country.
03:10That inheritance could come in handy.
03:13And finally, we've got Max, Mr. Louie's bodyguard, who is 37 years old.
03:19Even though he's extremely charming, Max seems to be the black sheep, since he spent seven
03:25years in jail when he was younger.
03:28No one but Mr. Louie knows the real depth of his crimes.
03:32Max seems to regret his past, and does everything to make amends.
03:37Now let's sneak into the billionaire's bedroom, where he speaks to all these people in turn.
03:43When Alex enters, his father doesn't waste a second.
03:46I know about the problems with business you're experiencing.
03:51I don't think leaving you all my money will save the day.
03:55Alex objects.
03:56I must admit that my company is nearing bankruptcy, but what you don't know is that I have my
04:02own charity fund, which needs a lot of funding.
04:04I really need this money to keep helping people.
04:08Maria carefully enters her father's bedroom, and greets him.
04:12She says,
04:13Dad, I'm so sorry I haven't been by your side recently.
04:18The billionaire remarks,
04:19Yes, I know you've been very busy with your social life.
04:25It's not that.
04:26I opened a school for young artists and was busy there.
04:30Is this explanation enough to excuse a daughter neglecting her father?
04:34We'll see.
04:36John slowly and clumsily enters his father's room.
04:40He heavily sits in the chair near Van's bed.
04:44Dad, I'm so sorry to hear about your state.
04:48If only I could help you.
04:50Mr. Louis interrupts him.
04:53Even if you could, you wouldn't, because you're the reason for my condition.
04:59John is terribly shocked.
05:02What are you talking about?
05:04Don't play innocent.
05:06Now I know you've been poisoning me for years.
05:09You've got access to rare medicines and you use it to your advantage.
05:14Exasperated, Van Louis invites the next visitor.
05:18Helen enters with a sad expression on her face.
05:21My dearest friend, I'm so sorry to see you like this.
05:25I'm also sorry I didn't visit.
05:28I was busy at the volunteer center.
05:31But the billionaire doesn't seem to be happy to see her.
05:35Do you think I don't know about your gambling addiction?
05:39I know what you want to spend my money on after I pass away.
05:43Definitely not on an animal shelter.
05:47After all that shouting, Peter feels nervous.
05:51He suspects that Van knows about his plans and dishonest schemes.
05:55And he's right.
05:57But what he hears next makes him freeze.
06:00Peter, my loyal partner, I know you wanted to lay your hands on my business, but I also
06:07know that recently you've abandoned this idea.
06:11I'm aware of all those cases in which you negotiated with our clients to save the company
06:16and its reputation.
06:18I know that you spent your own money to solve the issues my business had.
06:22Thank you.
06:24When Anna enters the room, Mr. Louis smiles kindly.
06:28How is your son?
06:30I know you're dreaming of getting that inheritance to help your kid.
06:35I also bet you want to lead a luxurious lifestyle and drive an expensive car.
06:40But you must understand that I have my own children and I need to take care of them.
06:47Anna exclaims, Of course I understand, Mr. Louis.
06:51I don't need all those riches.
06:53My only wish is for you to get better.
06:56Eventually, Max comes to talk to Van.
07:00Hey, Mr. Louis, I feel so bad about your condition.
07:04How can I help you?
07:07You've helped me enough, Max.
07:08You have literally saved my life countless times in drastic situations.
07:13But now, you can be sure that I won't reveal your secrets.
07:18I'll take them with me to the grave.
07:21After talking to each of the candidates, Mr. Louis was left deep in thought.
07:26Should he leave his money to his eldest son, whose life was dedicated to pleasing his father?
07:32Should his daughter get the inheritance?
07:35Despite her image, she's actually bringing a lot of good to this world.
07:40Should Van forgive his youngest son, or should he report him to the police?
07:45Should he help Helen?
07:47After all, despite all her flaws, she's his oldest friend.
07:52Should he reward Peter, or should he help Anna ensure a bright future for her kid?
07:58Maybe he should show Max how much he appreciates his loyalty.
08:02The billionaire is at a loss.
08:05He drinks his medicinal tea and finally comes to a conclusion.
08:09He slowly and with great difficulty gets up from his bed and shuffles to the door.
08:15He opens it and sees seven people.
08:19All of them are waiting for his verdict.
08:22So what do you think?
08:24Who will Mr. Louis leave all his money to?
08:28Think twice, or maybe even thrice, since there are many worthy candidates.
08:34And now get ready for the great reveal.
08:37Van Louis decides to leave all his inheritance to Anna.
08:42All because the billionaire is actually the father of Anna's son.
08:47Now the little guy and his mom don't need to worry.
08:50The kid will get the best education.
08:52A bright future awaits him.
08:56What Mr. Van Louis doesn't know, though, is that the boy's father is actually Max,
09:01the charming ex-criminal who stole Anna's heart many years ago.
