00:00:30Charlotte, where are you the wedding ceremony has already started everyone's waiting for you. Why didn't you wake me up?
00:00:43I've been calling you dozens of times all morning
00:00:46Charlotte what's going on?
00:00:48Are you okay?
00:00:50I'll be right there
00:01:00Dear friends and family, we're gathered here today to join Andrew Thompson and Charlotte Cooper in holy matrimony
00:01:12Where have you been? Is everything okay?
00:01:16There's something I need to tell you
00:01:18I'm
00:01:20What's wrong honey?
00:01:24We're not a husband and wife
00:01:26You tell me everything
00:01:29Come on, it can't be that bad
00:01:31Is it true?
00:01:33I slept with someone last night
00:01:39You cheated on me on our wedding day?
00:01:43I
00:01:45I thought it was you
00:01:49You disgust me
00:01:55Go home
00:01:58Wedding's cancelled
00:02:06Oh my god dad
00:02:08Calm down
00:02:10I swear I didn't know the man last night wasn't Andrew
00:02:12Someone had to upset me up
00:02:14You ruined your engagement
00:02:16Whether it was your fault or not
00:02:18You know how bad things are
00:02:20You might have ruined the business deal with the Thompson's
00:02:22I just lost my chance at lifelong happiness
00:02:24And all you care about is a business deal
00:02:27Don't get upset at Charlotte
00:02:29I mean she's still your daughter
00:02:31Enough
00:02:33She's disgraced us for the last time
00:02:35Charlotte, go get your things
00:02:37Dad, what are you talking about?
00:02:39Don't call me dad
00:02:41Father daughter relationship is over
00:02:43As of right now, go get your things
00:02:45Go
00:02:51Sir, I've reviewed the hotel security cameras
00:02:53But it looks like someone wiped your floors footage
00:02:56In between 11pm and midnight
00:02:58Are you trying to say that someone tried to set me up?
00:03:00What about the girl that came to my hotel room last night?
00:03:02Could it have been her?
00:03:04We can't confirm if you're the target, sir
00:03:06The eldest son of the Thompson family
00:03:08Was having his bachelor party at the hotel
00:03:10It's an escort's game
00:03:12It could have been one of them
00:03:18Oh, and Charlotte
00:03:20I forgot to tell you something
00:03:22It was all me
00:03:24Yes, what are you talking about?
00:03:26Honestly?
00:03:28It was too easy
00:03:30I just found a drunk stranger at the hotel bar
00:03:32And then I stole his room card
00:03:34And then I accidentally sent you to his room
00:03:36Oh, I was just wondering
00:03:38If you might do me a favor
00:03:44How could you do this to me?
00:03:48Because I fell in love with Andrew
00:03:50You're a pain in the ass
00:03:53Wait, let me out
00:03:57Over the years
00:03:59I've been abroad
00:04:01Until my father suddenly told me to come back
00:04:03Half a month ago
00:04:05Fortunately, I'm not alone anymore
00:04:07Roman
00:04:09How many times have I told you
00:04:11Don't wander off without me?
00:04:13Sorry, mommy
00:04:15It's okay, I'm not trying to scold you
00:04:17It's just dangerous
00:04:19Wandering off without me
00:04:22Isn't this your home?
00:04:24This was my home
00:04:26It's not anymore
00:04:28You're my only family
00:04:30Wherever you are, that's home
00:04:32Will we still get to see daddy this time?
00:04:34Then we can finally be a real family
00:04:38If only I knew who he is
00:04:40Let's go
00:04:46Excuse me

00:33:51ethan ethan are you listening to me um yeah yeah then what did i say that it's time to find a wife
00:34:01and then i need to start thinking about marriage and family but

00:34:49took roman you're the only person who can help me what were his terms you just have to pick the
00:34:54coopers as your business partners i'm sorry but i run out of all other options otherwise i wouldn't
00:34:58bother you like this again what's in it for me what i mean listen just because i've helped you
00:35:05out a couple times doesn't make me some automatic wish-granted genie okay even genies
00:35:11take some sort of payment what do you want to be whatever it takes
00:35:19that you and your father are putting together what you're trying being made to believe that
00:35:22there's some kid being held hostage once you just gained my sympathy what do you mean
00:35:29listen i've seen these dirty tricks happen way too many times if your father wants to cut a deal
00:35:33with me he can make me a deal that's gonna impress me otherwise no fucking deal you really
00:35:39think that little fine thanks for nothing
00:35:49what's wrong nothing alfred what's the problem i'm just concerned that you may regret your actions
00:35:59if later you find out you misjudged our lovely
00:36:11brian hello ethan i need you to figure out if roman's really being held hostage
00:36:16figure out if this is a trap set by the coopers
00:36:30so
00:36:32daddy are you sure this is safe i mean
00:36:36ethan wright's a very powerful man he'll probably find that place easily don't worry i've got my
00:36:41best men keeping watch plus it's offshore it's not as easy as you think offshore
00:36:47so
00:36:58did you hear something relax dad you're probably just on edge
00:37:02plus our new locks won't let anyone get past the combo
00:37:06you know i bet ethan wright isn't even with charlotte or he'd be here by now
00:37:11that bitch is probably on a show who knows what she offered him in return
00:37:17their relationship might be more complicated than it seems but
00:37:21you might be able to take advantage of that
00:37:30what the men are on the move who's men ethan there's no way he made it very clear that he
00:37:38wasn't interested in helping well put the order out and move the little bastard do it now that
00:37:45doesn't sound good if they move roman i bet they'll up the security then it'll be even
00:37:50harder to track him down no i have to go now
00:38:07victor it's all up to your dirty little tricks i see you're not my father you're a monster

00:45:14oh
00:45:17ethan thank god ah uh that's right
00:45:21unfortunately charlotte's been promised to mr miller now so
00:45:25even with all your power you just can't do everything you want right i'm sorry mr miller
00:45:31how about we play a game winner takes the girl home
00:45:36this is jill crazy
00:45:44what he found roman all right gentlemen let's do this how much are you willing to wager for the
00:45:50girl mr miller that depends how much you're willing to throw down yourself their house
00:45:57well i think we owe our girl a little respect i'm willing to wager one-tenth of my network
00:46:06one of ten no how much could that possibly be
00:46:12mr miller you think the rate is worth a hundred billion dollars
00:46:17you said 10 10 billion dollars are you out of your goddamn mind ah don't worry we can take all
00:46:23your real estate and your company's value i mean if you add those up right your real estate and
00:46:28your company's value five properties that adds up to exactly five billion okay well mr cooper
00:46:36i think for the sake of your daughter's happiness you ought to contribute
00:46:42mr right is it's too preposterous i think we should uh if either of you win it will count
00:46:49as a win for both of you and i would like to have charlotte represent me in this game
00:46:57mere object to be bargained with i'm simply giving you control over your own destiny
00:47:03do you trust me
00:47:13okay mr ray but but don't regret this if you go bankrupt we're not talking
00:47:19what are we playing slick why don't you play a fair and simple game blackjack five rounds
00:47:23best of three shall we
00:47:54so
00:48:03so
00:48:21oh god damn
00:48:24i did it
00:48:29well played ma'am no coop on your own
00:48:35mr mr right i think we got off on the wrong foot here why don't we play another round
00:48:38you know double or nothing mr miller i don't think we should do that you know
00:48:41because you wouldn't want to ruin your reputation off with just a simple little game right
00:48:45ryan i please take our gentleman here mr miller into the back to do all
00:48:49the necessary paperwork and procedures because i would not want him to walk off right
00:48:54cooper you're gonna help me out you're gonna help me out mr cooper
00:48:59mr cooper you're not gonna go against me are you
00:49:04well we never actually we never agreed to the terms or to the odds that's really how
00:49:11you want to do this fine someone get the surveillance footage it's been settled
00:49:18that is great andrew let's see the surveillance
00:49:24uh it's right there's no footage or evidence of the deal i mean that's a shame that's it
00:49:32yes that is the shame a strict shame but i did find out that andrew
00:49:39in the security department was terminated today
00:49:48oh and i forgot to mention you know because of all of that that was going on i was able to
00:49:57acquire the casino today in case something like this happens
00:50:01so any surveillance that you're looking for i can get you copies of all of them
00:50:06is
00:50:21but that would only come with specific conditions
00:50:28forget all of it but that would only come with specific conditions anything name it
00:50:35i would like to know but i think that charlotte should be the one to handle this situation
00:50:43sweetheart you know i love you you're cooper you're one of the family even the brat even
00:50:51my grandson is uh welcome you know that won't be necessary i don't want anything to do with you

00:51:06whatever you want name it first you won't harass me or roman again done second you'll return my
00:51:13mother's shares to me they're worth 30 million and they belong to me legally you can't keep them

01:13:46under observation hey doc can i have a word with you outside
01:14:03doc can parents pass down the same allergy to their kid yes if a parent is allergic to something
01:14:10there's a high chance that the child could inherit that same trait
01:14:16don't tell me you're allergic to hazelnut also
01:14:21you can't just give your son hazelnut chocolate like that that could be very dangerous
01:14:27doc yeah how long does it take to get the results for a paternity test
