00:00:00And the winner in the category of Emerging Designers is...
00:00:05Alara Designs!
00:00:17Come on girls, get ready to be on the runway.
00:00:19See you on the other side.
00:00:22I hope Luna's not trying to get into Dane's pants again.
00:00:25I mean, she can trust my designs enough to get her collection approved.
00:00:29I think she'd try to bluff him anyways.
00:00:32She's too strong.
00:00:38What are you doing?
00:00:41This industry craves connection.
00:00:44Care to join me after?
00:00:47I'm not sure about mixing pieces of pleasure, Luna.
00:00:50Let's just focus on the runway for now, yeah?
00:00:53This is getting ridiculous.
00:00:56Let's not let it ruin our desires.
00:00:58Let it be.
00:01:00Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
00:01:02Maybe you should be the one making the advances towards him.
00:01:05Not again.
00:01:07Not here.
00:01:09Wait.
00:01:16I wonder why she unblocked me.
00:01:19I wonder why she unblocked me.
00:01:23Knock, knock.
00:01:25You need to learn the proper etiquette for entering your boss's office, you dumbass. Sit down.
00:01:29Well, I thought we were long past formalities.
00:01:32Okay.
00:01:34What's up?
00:01:36What do you want?
00:01:38Nothing.
00:01:39Just seeing if you're the same old grumpy CEO or if...
00:01:43reminiscing on the good old times is lightening your mood a little bit.
00:01:46I owe her a lot.
00:01:49You didn't betray her, Damon.
00:01:51No?
00:01:53But I shouldn't have kept my mouth shut.
00:01:55My father gave me hell back then for backing her.
00:01:58That misogynistic pig never let my mum pursue her dreams.
00:02:01He just wanted to take everything from any woman who ever had chance.
00:02:05You gotta let go of this image of betrayal, Damon.
00:02:09Doesn't matter. Does she know the truth?
00:02:11It's too late.
00:02:14You love her, don't you?
00:02:18I destroyed her dreams, mate.
00:02:21She wouldn't even want me saying her name.
00:02:27Well, this should lighten your mood.
00:02:30Her work's been gaining a lot of international attention as of last night.
00:02:35Pretty sure Luna will win some moves to hold her back.
00:02:41I think it's high time you meant things and put her where she should be.
00:02:51What do you reckon?
00:02:53I reckon you should get out. Go wherever she should be.
00:02:56You're welcome.
00:03:10Bye.
00:03:35See you at the Montagnard, Damon.
00:03:40Here's your idea of an apology.
00:03:58Oh, hi.
00:04:00I just got news that Damon Clark and Luna are hanging out at his place tonight.
00:04:05Let the news spread.
00:04:11May I ask who's the lucky one?
00:04:14Our new business partner.
00:04:16Who else would it be?
00:04:18Oh my god, Damon. That's huge.
00:04:20Yes, it is.
00:04:22Actually, I tried calling you both.
00:04:25Have you done the designs that I requested for Damon's new clothing label?
00:04:28Oh, yes. Sorry, sorry. That'll be ready this afternoon.
00:04:34I need to take this.
00:04:41You bitch, you sent my designs to Skytrends.
00:04:44I always thought I'd get rejected from them.
00:04:46I know. That's why I did it.
00:04:48So, tell me the news.
00:04:51They liked my work, idiot.
00:04:53I knew it.
00:04:56But I'm going to have to do another whole year of experience before I can switch jobs.
00:05:01Or maybe you just need the right connection in the industry.
00:05:06No way. I'm not begging anyone.
00:05:08I'm denied. Damon is one of the big names in the fashion industry.
00:05:12It's just a matter of a few calls for him.
00:05:14Besides, I think he likes you.
00:05:16What?
00:05:18Oh, be serious.
00:05:20Oh, I am.
00:05:24I deserve that, I suppose.
00:05:26What are you talking about?
00:05:28The media channels you called.
00:05:32They're all under my watch.
00:05:35Why would I bother interfering in your affairs?
00:05:38Excuse me, Mr Clark.
00:05:40Miss Myers will see you in her office now.
00:05:54I had to cancel our dinner, so I thought I'd surprise you, Nelly.
00:05:58I knew you had plans on me.
00:06:01But the first time we met, didn't you?
00:06:05Look what I say.
00:06:07But I was hoping you could see the designs and maybe discuss them in person with the designer.
00:06:14Three is my lucky number.
00:06:22Can you come inside?
00:06:26And don't forget the designs.
00:06:30You know, everyone in the industry is jealous that we're dating.
00:06:47Are we?
00:06:49Don't toy with me.
00:06:52You better do as I say.
00:06:54Oh my god, I will put my phone down.
00:06:58Nelly, would you mind hanging out for a second?
00:07:02Sure.
00:07:14Have a seat.
00:07:16I'm fine.
00:07:18That really wasn't what it looked like.
00:07:21Do I look that old?
00:07:23Excuse me?
00:07:24You're trying to set me up with someone who's maybe, what, five years older than me?
00:07:28You're a senior, Larry, you know that.
00:07:31Just check my designs and let me go.
00:07:33I didn't want to see your designs.
00:07:36There's something you should know.
00:07:40Luna will never hire you as a senior designer.
00:07:44I mean, yeah, your work's getting some recognition, but you need tons more connections or at least a decent promotion to be anybody in this industry.
00:07:51And why are you telling me this?
00:07:54I understand that you've had a lot of struggles to endure because of me.
00:08:01All I'm trying to do is make amends.
00:08:03So this is your big apology, huh?
00:08:06Well, you're still the CEO of the fashion empire and I'm just a shitty little designer, so thank you for changing absolutely nothing.
00:08:13So you still think I stole those designs?
00:08:15Okay, I am sorry for keeping my mouth shut for the sake of my reputation in this industry.
00:08:20That was wrong.
00:08:22You think I'm going to buy into all your stories again after all these years?
00:08:27I'll email you the designs.
00:08:29I think it's better we keep things strictly professional.
00:08:32Don't you?
00:08:34I wasn't planning that.
00:08:39You need a partner that's going to take us to the next level, really elevate us.
00:08:44Lara's a nice girl, but she's just a girl.
00:08:48We need somebody with a name, a brand.
00:08:51So what if she doesn't have a million connections, Dad?
00:08:54Think outside the box, yeah?
00:08:57She's more than just a business partner to me.
00:08:59This is a cutthroat business.
00:09:01But Lara's a nobody.
00:09:03I've arranged something really special with Joey.
00:09:07He's got the right background and more importantly, he's got all the right connections.
00:09:11She's talented, Dad.
00:09:13She deserves it as much as anyone else.
00:09:16You know what, I think she's even better than me and I think that's what you're really afraid of, isn't it?
00:09:20Now you're just being naive.
00:09:22Think about what we're building here.
00:09:25Our legacy.
00:09:27You don't build an empire with someone like a Lara.
00:09:31Break that off.
00:09:33Now.
00:09:51This will make him look like a bitch on his own.
00:10:08Why does it look like I've seen these designs before?
00:10:11Does it look like a canvas piece?
00:10:15Sophia, can you please get me some of those deal memos that I've asked for?
00:10:20Just at some point today.
00:10:22Oh yes, you'll see them this afternoon.
00:10:24Any update from Mr Clark on his designs?
00:10:27No, but it's not really his fault I kept him busy last night.
00:10:35At 10am you have a meeting with Tumble, the head of ELP Editor.
00:10:41You'll be going over your contract, the terms and conditions.
00:10:45At 11am you've got brunch with Miss May.
00:10:48Sorry, sorry, I lost track.
00:10:50Where are we with the new launch?
00:10:52Designs are just waiting on your approval.
00:10:55And then we're ready to launch it.
00:10:58Got time to review them?
00:11:00Not really.
00:11:01Do you mind handling it, Franklin?
00:11:03I'm absolutely smashed this week and it can't wait.
00:11:06By the way, KK's launch is coming up, we need to align the dates.
00:11:09Gotcha.
00:11:10And did you talk to Lara?
00:11:13She doesn't want to listen.
00:11:15I can't see her getting used to her work again.
00:11:18Sophia told me she wants to join SkyTrends.
00:11:21Maybe she'll talk to Mr Musk.
00:11:23I could, but he's a massive freak.
00:11:27You can't save her from everyone, Damon.
00:11:29You know the industry.
00:11:31I can at least try.
00:11:34You know what?
00:11:36You're better on board onto our team.
00:11:41Okay.
00:11:46Oh my gosh, is it true that Damon gave you an offer to work with him?
00:11:49Oh my god, he wants to trade me with Luna.
00:11:52And why are you so excited?
00:11:54I mean, who doesn't want to have a hot boss?
00:11:57But see, I told you, Damon has feelings for you.
00:12:01Okay, so you're saying I don't deserve this promotion?
00:12:03No, no, not at all.
00:12:05What I'm saying is, people in this industry usually don't care about righting wrongs,
00:12:10and Damon has seriously been trying to make amends.
00:12:12Maybe it's worth considering forgiveness?
00:12:16No, wait, I'm not going to work under that traitor.
00:12:18I already hate being a corporate slave.
00:12:20I want to be at a level that he can't even compete with me.
00:12:24But he might not have a choice.
00:12:26Luna will probably fire you if you reject.
00:12:32This man has made my past hell, and now he's back to ruin my career.
00:12:39Figure it out.
00:12:45Oh, sorry, I was expecting Luna.
00:12:50Yeah, she's on holidays for a week, so I'll be your boss till then.
00:12:58So, in Luna's absence, anything I can help you with?
00:13:02I'm surprised you didn't go with her.
00:13:04Yeah, I just had, I guess, some more pressing matters to attend to over at the office.
00:13:14What did you want to see me for?
00:13:17You need to make my resignation.
00:13:19I've handed over all my files to Sophia, and I won't be able to take you up on your offer either.
00:13:27Who said you could leave?
00:13:29I didn't think I needed your permission.
00:13:31As per our contract, nobody in your team can leave until after the launch.
00:13:38So, I guess I own your ass till then.
00:13:44Am I making myself clear?
00:13:46You're disgusting.
00:13:48I'm well aware.
00:13:52May I have the excuse now, Damon?
00:13:55Seeing as I'm your boss, I think you should refer to me as Mr. Clark, don't you?
00:14:06Oh my god, you queen!
00:14:09Um, can you explain that?
00:14:11Guess what, I'm the new co-CEO of the fashion empire.
00:14:16I mean, things just finally worked out between Damon and I.
00:14:20So you've truly forgiven him?
00:14:22Oh, I'm so proud of you.
00:14:26Come on, give me a hug.
00:14:31But hey, you're still my right-hand woman in this whole journey, okay?
00:14:35Hey, can I ask you something?
00:14:37Yeah, go for it.
00:14:39I noticed that your designs are very similar to KK's new upcoming collection.
00:14:44I don't want to get in the middle of things with you and Damon.
00:14:47Just sort it out before we find out.
00:14:50KK, look into it.
00:14:51And hey, I'm going to take you out for dinner tonight.
00:14:53My treat.
00:14:55Thanks, boss.
00:15:01So you've truly forgiven him?
00:15:14I understand that you've had a lot of struggles to endure because of me.
00:15:23Hey, Dom, I composed those designs for a new brand.
00:15:26How could you betray our partnership?
00:15:32Congrats, Mrs. New Boss.
00:15:34Franklin, how are you?
00:15:36Good, how are you?
00:15:39Sweet seat, thank you.
00:15:41It's really nice to see you after a whole four years.
00:15:45I used to miss the days when you and Damon would be training me during my probation.
00:15:52Thank you for everything.
00:15:55What are you doing here?
00:15:56I'm just waiting for Sophia.
00:15:58There she is.
00:16:00Hi.
00:16:01Hi.
00:16:02How are you?
00:16:03Good, how are you?
00:16:04Please.
00:16:06You should join us.
00:16:08Sorry, but I can't.
00:16:09I've actually got company.
00:16:11However, we'll catch up soon, ladies.
00:16:14Have a good night.
00:16:29Don't you think this is enough, Mr. Clark?
00:16:31You're still using my designs in your fashion shows.
00:16:34Well, excuse me, Missy, but that's exactly what Damon asked me to do.
00:16:40Listen, Laura, I know you're thinking about putting in a complaint against Damon and me,
00:16:45but let me tell you how this is going to play out.
00:16:48I've got an envelope here for you.
00:16:50I've got far more in it than you ever deserve.
00:16:53But you're going to take that envelope and you're going to leave this company now,
00:16:58quietly and without any fuss, or there will be some very serious consequences.
00:17:06Thanks, Mr. Clark.
00:17:07Really.
00:17:09Listen, sweetheart, this is your chance for you to move on without any drama.
00:17:14But if you should make that complaint, make any noise, raise a fuss,
00:17:18or even post something on social media about us,
00:17:21I can assure you, you, lovey, will never work in this industry again.
00:17:26Am I being clear enough?
00:17:40Hey, where are you?
00:17:42Oh, it's late. I've been thinking about your meeting.
00:17:45What's up?
00:17:46Nothing. I just wanted to see what you've been up to.
00:17:50Shit, I can't hear what you're talking about.
00:17:53Yeah, well, there's my wife, isn't there, so what am I?
00:17:57Yeah.
00:18:04How's things with Lara going?
00:18:06Really great.
00:18:08I didn't think she'd forgive me after what happened before, but...
00:18:13Damon, I wanted to tell you...
00:18:21Shit.
00:18:23What's up?
00:18:24No, no, please. My wife is...
00:18:27She isn't straight, is she?
00:18:30Sure she is.
00:18:33Seriously.
00:18:35Okay.
00:18:37So you have to look at these projects.
00:18:39I've already sent you the list of contacts you'll need.
00:18:42How about I choose the project I want to do?
00:18:45Maybe the launch, should I do it with Lena?
00:18:48Anything for you, baby.
00:18:53Good to see you.
00:18:55I hope you're fine.
00:19:12I have never loved anyone like you.
00:19:16I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me.
00:19:24But I'm here now.
00:19:35Hey, where are you?
00:19:37I'm at Damon's.
00:19:40Why does my head hurt so much?
00:19:43Get some rest. Call me later.
00:19:45Bye.
00:19:46Wait, wait.
00:19:55Has the payment completed for the Mirage Casino yet?
00:20:00And can you send all the designs for the new collection to Lara about tomorrow morning, please?
00:20:03She'll take care of that.
00:20:07Thanks, mate.
00:20:11Hungry?
00:20:12Always.
00:20:18You have a beautiful home.
00:20:20Yeah, it's alright.
00:20:24Hey, I still feel terrible about the past.
00:20:28It's okay.
00:20:30No, if you want to talk about it.
00:20:33Yeah, I'm hungry. Let's eat.
00:20:42Is it true that your father chose gambling over your mother?
00:20:47I'm sorry, I saw it on the news.
00:20:50It's fine.
00:20:52Yeah, it's true, believe it or not.
00:20:55He chose gambling over my own mother.
00:20:58And I'm still paying millions of dollars to cover his debts.
00:21:01Nice guy.
00:21:03Where is he?
00:21:04He's exactly where he belongs.
00:21:08Hey, what?
00:21:10Nice dinner?
00:21:12It's perfect.
00:21:21Is there anyone here?
00:21:30Hey, Lara.
00:21:32I reviewed the designs.
00:21:34I reviewed the designs, but a few of them have been copied from KK's collection.
00:21:41I think you may have sent Damon the wrong file.
00:21:45You may call me Miss Knight.
00:21:48I remember when Damon used to get so upset when I didn't call him sir after he promoted me to the C-suites.
00:21:54I'm not Damon Franklin. You get it?
00:21:58Well...
00:22:04Luna, finally back from vacation. How was it?
00:22:12Yes, I am.
00:22:15I heard you've made quite the leap.
00:22:18Co-CEO of Damon's Fashion Empire.
00:22:22Thank you, Luna.
00:22:25Oh, well you should be thankful to me.
00:22:28If I hadn't let Damon strike that deal, then you wouldn't be where you are now.
00:22:34He's just using you, you know.
00:22:36For both professional and personal favors.
00:22:40Luna, it's not like that.
00:22:43Damon saw potential in me.
00:22:45Potential?
00:22:47Or is something else a Lara?
00:22:49I hope you're not naive enough to think it's all about your skills.
00:22:54You know what, Luna?
00:22:56I won't let baseless accusations diminish my achievements.
00:23:00Achievements?
00:23:02You are merely a pawn in Damon's game.
00:23:08Don't come at me if Damon has given you any signals about me.
00:23:12I'm not a pawn in Damon's game.
00:23:14I'm not a pawn in Damon's game.
00:23:17I'm not a pawn in Damon's game.
00:23:20Don't come at me if Damon has given you any signals about being in a relationship with you.
00:23:25If you have an issue, take it up with Damon.
00:23:28Oh, oh I will.
00:23:30Enjoy your co-CEO title, a Lara.
00:23:34Let's see how long it lasts.
00:23:37Hey, Soph.
00:23:40What's up?
00:23:45Okay, how about drinks tonight?
00:23:50Wonderful.
00:23:51I'll see you there.
00:23:54Can we get some teasers made up for the launch?
00:23:57It just might be a good idea.
00:23:59I don't think so.
00:24:02Can we get some teasers made up for the launch?
00:24:05And just make sure that date isn't released to anyone, especially the media.
00:24:11Actually from now on, only report back to me.
00:24:13We have to keep this highly confidential.
00:24:17What?
00:24:29Oh my god, it's you.
00:24:31What are you doing?
00:24:32I thought I'd surprise you.
00:24:34You're breaking into my apartment.
00:24:37You're just teasing me.
00:24:38I thought you liked spontaneity and unpredictability.
00:24:42You're killing me.
00:24:45I'm sorry.
00:24:48Let's not waste time.
00:24:58I'm hungry.
00:25:07And thank god I caught on to those mistakes in your designs.
00:25:10It would have been a significant issue if I hadn't caught on to them.
00:25:14But I never crafted those designs.
00:25:18It was Allara who took charge?
00:25:21There must be some misunderstanding.
00:25:24I believe Allara will execute this vision perfectly.
00:25:30Franklin, what aren't you telling me?
00:25:33Sophia, it's just a mix-up.
00:25:36I'm sure Allara knows what she's doing.
00:25:40Cheers.
00:25:49There's got to be something going through her head.
00:25:56Damon, I know Allara is talented.
00:26:00But don't you think it's crucial to be keeping an eye on her?
00:26:05What she's doing, what she's up to.
00:26:08As of late, I've dealt as if something's off.
00:26:12I'm concerned.
00:26:15Well, why don't you mind your fucking business?
00:26:18Because we both know why you don't like her.
00:26:21Damon, I don't like you.
00:26:22Is this to do with my date?
00:26:24Don't you fucking lie to me!
00:26:26Because I'll find out anyway.
00:26:29How could this be connected to your father?
00:26:32He's been in jail for a year.
00:26:36You know what?
00:26:38I'm just concerned.
00:26:49Can we get a latte, please?
00:26:51So, how's it going with CEO?
00:26:53Oh my gosh, this week is just such a rollercoaster.
00:26:56Hey, you're coming to the launch, right?
00:26:58It's on the 2nd of November and you need to be there.
00:27:01I can't miss it.
00:27:02Well, they revoked KK's launch, right?
00:27:04Yeah, and we're actually going to have a bizarre VIP guest.
00:27:06He's just creating such a buzz in the industry right now.
00:27:09He doesn't think it's a smart move having him there.
00:27:11Interesting.
00:27:12Unless you're planning a showdown, right?
00:27:15I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:17Oh, come on, Allara.
00:27:18I know you too well.
00:27:19There's no way you're going down without some revenge sequence.
00:27:24I've changed a lot since I was a kid.
00:27:29I know what this is about.
00:27:31This is about Franklin, isn't it?
00:27:33How did you become so bitter?
00:27:35Do you even bother to ask who actually stole your device?
00:27:39Or are you just too busy seeking revenge?
00:27:56This is so strange.
00:28:04No one's going to want to live when I get out of here.
00:28:08Shut that fucking bench.
00:28:14Wake up, chump.
00:28:15The girl didn't see you.
00:28:21A girl?
00:28:22What girl?
00:28:34Are you kidding me?
00:28:37I don't want to remember you, sweetheart.
00:28:41Oh, did Damon send you, did he?
00:28:43You tell that prick to get me out of here ASAP.
00:28:47Kill him when I get out.
00:28:49Are you hearing me?
00:28:52I don't want to hear your son.
00:28:54My own son?
00:28:55You mean the son who put me in here?
00:28:57Who pays these guys to keep me here?
00:28:59That son?
00:29:03But if he didn't send...
00:29:06Who are you, gorgeous?
00:29:08Alara.
00:29:12Alara Knight?
00:29:16You're the reason I'm here!
00:29:19I won't spare you when I'm out.
00:29:23Bye, Alara.
00:29:25Thanks for dropping by.
00:29:27See you soon.
00:29:33Hey, Sophia. Is Alara with you?
00:29:36No, she's not here. What happened?
00:29:38Some of the calls to her aren't going through.
00:29:41Do you know where she might be?
00:29:48Where have you been?
00:29:50I wasn't well, I went to the doctor.
00:29:52Really? You should have told me.
00:29:54I'm fine now, don't worry.
00:29:56You sure?
00:29:57Yeah.
00:30:00Are you okay?
00:30:03Yeah, I'm fine. I just have so much to do still for the launch in two days.
00:30:08Need a hand?
00:30:10I'm fine.
00:30:13Can I ask you something?
00:30:15Yeah?
00:30:17And no, this isn't coming out of nowhere, okay?
00:30:19Okay.
00:30:21Can I have my design notebook back?
00:30:25I don't have a few designs, actually.
00:30:30My father stole them from my office.
00:30:33So you really didn't know about that fashion show until you saw it?
00:30:39No, I was super busy at the time.
00:30:41And honestly, I didn't even get a chance to look at the designs you pitched for our...
00:30:46But why didn't you say something, Damon?
00:30:49I mean, why have you been hiding it this whole time?
00:30:51I don't know.
00:30:55Is there something else you're hiding?
00:31:02You know what I admire about you?
00:31:05You forgave me before you even knew the truth.
00:31:08Yeah, but that's not...
00:31:09It doesn't matter.
00:31:11The only thing that matters...
00:31:14is taking those lips off your body.
00:31:24I'm sorry.
00:31:55Yes, Miss Knight?
00:31:57Oh, just call me Lara.
00:32:00Please, um...
00:32:03I know, I'm so sorry.
00:32:05I need to apologize. I was so rude to you, and...
00:32:09I'm... I lost my mind.
00:32:12But I'm better now.
00:32:15It's okay.
00:32:18You sure?
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:23You sure?
00:32:27Not again.
00:32:37You're the reason I'm here!
00:32:41I won't spare you when I'm out!
00:32:52I won't spare you when I'm out!
00:33:11What is it? You're freaking me out.
00:33:13No, but I'm horny.
00:33:15So...
00:33:19What about stairs for quickie?
00:33:21I can't miss you.
00:33:23You know what you are. That's just an excuse.
00:33:30Cheers.
00:33:35Thank you so much, Sophia. I couldn't have done this without you.
00:33:38You can count on me anytime.
00:33:41And what about Franklin?
00:33:43Don't worry. He won't catch word of it. Damon will.
00:33:47So...
00:33:49What's it like being in love with someone you used to hate?
00:33:53He's actually really nice, but...
00:33:56But what?
00:33:58He's got all these issues with his father that I'm somehow related to.
00:34:02I... And it was his father that stole my designs, and he's keeping a secret for all these years.
00:34:07Yeah, isn't Eric in jail right now?
00:34:09Yeah, how did you know that?
00:34:11Franklin told me.
00:34:12Hey, you should speak to Franklin about it.
00:34:16Okay.
00:34:47I love you.
00:35:05I'm so freaked out. There's someone in the house.
00:35:09I'm so creepy. Why didn't you tell me about this?
00:35:12No, I've just been so busy and I completely forgot.
00:35:15Do you think I should tell Damon about this?
00:35:18I don't know, but whatever you do, just don't tell him you knew this manufacturer.
00:35:22He'll figure it out.
00:35:29And did you find out about the murderer?
00:35:32Yeah. It was Mr. Eric Clark's agent behind this murder.
00:35:38Are you sure?
00:35:40I'm sure.
00:35:46Fuckin' pig.
00:36:02Hey. So, time for a grocery shopping?
00:36:07Yeah, um...
00:36:10That's Damon's. He left it in my car last night.
00:36:15Nice gun.
00:36:17Thanks.
00:36:30Yeah, spare a lot. Keep your eye on Sophia for now.
00:36:39Inform the boss.
00:37:09Okay.
00:37:35Hey. Can you hear me now?
00:37:38Did you find something in the closet?
00:37:40Um, right. I've got something that I need to tell you.
00:37:44Um...
00:37:48Um...
00:37:50This...
00:37:52What is it? What is it? What?
00:37:57Didn't Eric choose gambling over his own wife?
00:38:00Yeah, that could be a reason. But I think it's more than that.
00:38:04Paternal rivalry, perhaps.
00:38:08Don't be so surprised, Elara. That's how things work here.
00:38:17Hello. You okay?
00:38:20Yes. Sorry.
00:38:25I would like to ask you something, Elara.
00:38:27What is it?
00:38:29Close your eyes.
00:38:31Okay.
00:38:41You can open them now.
00:38:43Oh my God, Damon, I...
00:38:45Elara Knight, will you marry me?
00:38:50I don't know what to say.
00:38:52It's fine, it's fine. You take as long as you need.
00:38:55I'll wait my entire life for you.
00:38:58Thank you, Damon.
00:39:01I'll get us some champagne.
00:39:03Okay.
00:39:25Hello?
00:39:29Who is this?
00:39:34Who's that?
00:39:36Oh, no, no, I'm sorry.
00:39:40Cheers.
00:39:45It's too simple, I know.
00:39:52I told you to fucking kidnap Elara.
00:39:54What am I supposed to do with this other bitch?
00:39:57She found out about me.
00:39:59Elara will still bring us the money for your bail.
00:40:02Then I'll kill her.
00:40:21Hello?
00:40:24Who is this?
00:40:27What do you want?
00:40:29What do you want?
00:40:32Sofia, is that you?
00:40:43Sofia, is that you?
00:40:45Where are you?
00:40:48She's here alive.
00:40:50I was just worried for her.
00:40:52You know, we had to figure it out.
00:40:55I don't know what to say.
00:40:58Sofia?
00:41:10I'll pay you all this fucking money and you can't figure it out?
00:41:13You have two days.
00:41:15No, two days.
00:41:22Still playing your same tricks, hey?
00:41:25You can just murder someone.
00:41:27Get away, no consequences.
00:41:30The counterfeit manufacturer.
00:41:34He got what he deserved.
00:41:36Still the same fucking narcissist, hey?
00:41:41Good to see you, Dad.
00:41:44She's back in your life finally, huh?
00:41:48She saved my life.
00:41:50You hear me?
00:41:51Hey.
00:41:53She came here looking for some answers.
00:41:58You haven't told her, have you?
00:42:00You haven't told her why you put me in here.
00:42:03What are you afraid of?
00:42:05A little betrayal?
00:42:08What did you say to her?
00:42:12What did you say to her?
00:42:14Dad, let's go.
00:42:15You wait.
00:42:16What did you say to her?
00:42:17Bye, son.
00:42:19Eric, what did you fucking say to her?
00:42:23Eric.
00:42:53Eric.
00:43:23Eric.
00:43:48What are you doing here so late?
00:43:50Oh, I um, I wanted to see you.
00:43:53Do you now?
00:43:55You know, I've been thinking about us and our future together.
00:43:59I thought maybe we could move in together before we get married.
00:44:04Move in together?
00:44:06What's brought this on?
00:44:08Any particular reason?
00:44:10Just to know each other's quirks on a daily basis.
00:44:13You know, no surprises after each other.
00:44:16Fair point.
00:44:19There's nothing else specific?
00:44:22I mean, I...
00:44:24You haven't been particularly open about your past with me,
00:44:28which makes it difficult sometimes.
00:44:32Maybe we can get to know each other a bit better.
00:44:36No.
00:44:50As far as I'm concerned,
00:44:52I know everything that I need to know.
00:44:55You understand?
00:44:57I don't need anything else.
00:44:59I mean, we've cleared the slate from everything that happened in the past.
00:45:01I'm holding nothing back, Hilara.
00:45:05You did lie to me about your father.
00:45:08Is he in jail because of me?
00:45:12That monster killed my newborn sister.
00:45:16He discarded my mother while he was on his gambling spiral,
00:45:19and he threatened to kill you if I attempted to bring you back into my life.
00:45:23Now I've waited years and years and years for this moment.
00:45:27I couldn't risk bringing you back until he paid for the sins that he'd committed.
00:45:33So you kept your secret.
00:45:39You thought I was back for revenge.
00:45:44Are you?
00:45:49You had an account of him. In fact, you read it.
00:45:54Do you know that?
00:45:57Taylor, I'm sorry. I really am.
00:46:00I love you so much.
00:46:03But I never meant to...
00:46:07It's fine.
00:46:09Because I don't care.
00:46:12I don't care about any of it.
00:46:15I just don't want to spend another second of my life without you in it.
00:46:19I cannot make it any clearer than that.
00:46:27I love you so much.
00:46:45Hello?
00:46:47Yeah, what?
00:46:49Do you really have a date tonight?
00:46:51What?
00:46:53How do I know Sophia's even fine and with you?
00:47:02Oh, don't be so clever.
00:47:05No pictures that'll be locating me.
00:47:07You'll have to trust my word.
00:47:10Will you? What? Why are you doing this?
00:47:15It's a secret. It's life and love.
00:47:18You know I'm lucky.
00:47:20So you don't waste your time looking for me.
00:47:23Now it's 10pm.
00:47:25I need more time. I don't have 10 million dollars.
00:47:29Still some time.
00:47:31I don't care.
00:47:33Whatever it takes.
00:47:3510pm. Tomorrow.
00:47:37Wait.
00:47:40Can you see me?
00:47:48I can't find you.
00:48:09Thanks Franklin. You really needed it.
00:48:13By the way, you should work on your investigation skills.
00:48:16You gave me the wrong tip.
00:48:18I did? In what way?
00:48:21I mean, you didn't hear it from me.
00:48:25But I might be a member of the Clark family very soon.
00:48:28It's confidential.
00:48:33Have you seen Sophia? Long time no see.
00:48:37She's fine. She's easy with her stuff.
00:48:46I've always wanted to own my own company.
00:48:49I know, but as far as I'm concerned, this company is yours just as much as it is mine.
00:48:54But if you really mean it about going out on your own, I'm here for you.
00:48:59You're serious about this, aren't you?
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:05Okay, well then.
00:49:07I'm investing five million dollars at the interest rate of one child per year until we're really old and really grey.
00:49:16Thank you, Dad.
00:49:18I love you.
00:49:20Okay, I'll tell Leo.
00:49:26That's him.
00:49:28Exciting.
00:49:35Ah!
00:49:49I have the money. Tell me where to bring it.
00:49:52Ten million?
00:49:54Yes, ten million.
00:49:56Ah, Laura. Such a good girl playing the hero.
00:50:02I like that.
00:50:04You can keep that mask as a little souvenir from me.
00:50:08What are you doing?
00:50:10That was you.
00:50:12Sharp as always, Laura.
00:50:15I've sent a location.
00:50:20Okay, I'll be there in thirty minutes.
00:50:22I don't care.
00:50:24You'll do whatever it takes and you'll be there in fifteen, or...
00:50:27Okay, I'll be there.
00:50:33Franklin, why are you doing this? You don't have to do this.
00:50:40Or is it because you're secretly in love with Damon? Huh?
00:50:44What do you know? You think you're just going to provoke me like this?
00:50:48Yeah. Heard you had a thing for Damon. Is that why you're doing all this?
00:50:52You have no idea what I have done for this family, or for him,
00:50:57over the past five years, and now helping him to win a Laura back.
00:51:03All the lies I've kept.
00:51:06Not an ounce of appreciation. Or love. Nothing.
00:51:12You don't have to do this. You know there's other ways to find love and acceptance.
00:51:20There's no other ways for people like me.
00:51:24Not one.
00:51:27Especially not in this industry, under this family.
00:51:31The rest of us are doomed to humiliation in our personal lives and professional lives.
00:51:37What if there was?
00:51:40This way's not going to get you anywhere.
00:51:50Laura!
00:51:55Franklin? The kidnapper?
00:52:08What do you got for me?
00:52:10Damon, you better sit down for this.
00:52:12But where's the murderer?
00:52:14Word is he's holed up at the Token Warehouse as we speak.
00:52:17Token Warehouse? You sure about this?
00:52:20Yeah, sure, mate. This is our chance to nail the guy. We need to move fast.
00:52:24Alright, I'm not sitting this one out. I'm coming with.
00:52:27Let's end this once and for all, hey?
00:52:39Surprised, the Laura?
00:52:42It's been me this whole time.
00:52:48Why are you doing this, Franklin? What don't you already have?
00:52:52Why don't we talk about this later?
00:52:54Leave me the bag.
00:53:00Now, walk backwards until you reach the gate.
00:53:06Are you kidding me? I'm not leaving her here.
00:53:08Walk backwards, or I'll shoot.
00:53:11Goodbye, Laura.
00:53:42Don't call her.
00:53:49Franklin?
00:53:56I honestly don't even have the words. I'm just so thankful to both of you.
00:54:01I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.
00:54:03I should be thanking you. You risked your life for a Laura.
00:54:07How did you find us?
00:54:09As soon as my source sent me the location, I just went straight away.
00:54:13I didn't think I'd come out alive.
00:54:18All's well that ends well.
00:54:20Stop. I'm sorry, I have to tell you this.
00:54:32Hey, are you still mad at me?
00:54:39Let's talk about it later.
00:54:47Hey.
00:54:52Come on, Damon, it's not a big deal.
00:54:55Really? Not a big deal?
00:54:58Your gun wasn't at your apartment, but it's not a big deal?
00:55:00The mask, not a big deal?
00:55:02There was an intruder in your house, but that's not a big fucking deal?
00:55:05Are you insane?
00:55:06Sorry, I know I'm fucked up.
00:55:09You promised me you would never hide anything like this again.
00:55:13So, ready to give up your rat?
00:55:17Oh, doesn't this story have an end?
00:55:20Don't fuck with me, Eric.
00:55:22Now I know you're trying to get into Laura's head, and I will not tolerate it any fucking longer.
00:55:28Possessive? How cute.
00:55:31This isn't a joke.
00:55:33You stay away from me, you stay away from Laura.
00:55:36No tricks, no spies.
00:55:39Because if you don't, I will not hesitate to make your life in here even more fucking miserable than it already is.
00:55:45More miserable? I'm in a fucking prison, what are you going to do in here?
00:55:49Well, you see, that's the thing.
00:55:51Because I've got evidence linking you to Franklin's murder.
00:55:54And I would take great pleasure in having you charged with that as well.
00:56:00Don't push me, Eric.
00:56:03This is a game you will never win.
00:56:06Hear me?
00:56:12Remember, I control this chessboard.
00:56:16So you choose your moves very wisely.
00:56:20Hi.
00:56:21Welcome home. I made your favourite.
00:56:23You always know how to make a shit day better.
00:56:27You went to see Eric, right?
00:56:30Can I ask you a question?
00:56:33Why do you keep visiting him in jail? What's the purpose?
00:56:36I visit him to keep an eye on him.
00:56:39It's easier to control with no men.
00:56:42And you?
00:56:44Why do you keep visiting him in jail? What's the purpose?
00:56:47I visit him to keep an eye on him.
00:56:50It's easier to control with no men to me than an unpredictable one.
00:56:59And how's the living situation going? Any regrets?
00:57:03It's pretty good so far.
00:57:05No regrets. Pretty enjoyable, I'd say.
00:57:08Well, you know what they say.
00:57:10What do they say?
00:57:11Stay together. Stay together for eternity.
00:57:14Is that so?
00:57:30Hey, I can't handle this workload alone.
00:57:34I really need help. Can we hire Sophia in place of Franklin?
00:57:39Sophia's great, but I just feel like friends and business...
00:57:44It just complicates things.
00:57:46I just want to keep my personal life and work life separate.
00:57:50Okay.
00:57:51We'll find someone else.
00:57:54By the way, we have a dinner tonight with Miss...
00:57:57Leah? Echo Magazines?
00:58:00Yeah.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:40Thanks.
00:58:45You learn, don't you?
00:58:47I love you more than you'll ever know.
00:58:50And all I want is to spend the rest of my life with you.
00:58:54So please marry me.
00:59:09To us.
00:59:11To our eternal happiness.
00:59:40How's this even possible?
00:59:42I saw her body myself.
00:59:45No, no, don't send it to my fucking phone.
00:59:48Wait there, I'm coming.
00:59:59Good morning, Mrs Clark. Miss me?
01:00:02Mm-hmm.
01:00:04Oh, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
01:00:07You have gone to work. We just got married yesterday, Damon.
01:00:11Is it that important?
01:00:12I know, I know. I'm so sorry.
01:00:15You're right, we really need a hand.
01:00:17But I will get it sorted ASAP.
01:00:19And for now, get yourself ready because in 30 minutes we are going shopping.
01:00:24I love you, Mrs C.
01:00:27I love you, Mr C.
01:00:31You think you could get involved with Damon without any consequences?
01:00:36Why me?
01:00:39You were told not to get involved with him.
01:00:43Now you're going to suffer.
01:00:54Hey.
01:00:56Too bad, June.
01:01:26Shhh.
01:01:35Do you have power for the dress?
01:01:43Did you hear, right on the street, that Alex Thornton is looking for a designer to collaborate with on his next big fashion campaign?
01:01:51Really?
01:01:52Yeah.
01:01:53Oh, I wish I could work with such big brand names.
01:01:55It doesn't matter, you still can.
01:01:57I always wanted to make a name for myself, you know?
01:01:59Like, working with Damon is great and all, but everything is tagged with his own name.
01:02:04How is married life?
01:02:07There's something weird going on recently.
01:02:10Weird how?
01:02:12Like, he's always going places without saying anything.
01:02:15I just feel like he's hiding something.
01:02:19Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
01:02:25What's up? Seems like your little singing birdie has just flown the nest.
01:02:31What are you doing here, Damon?
01:02:34You just fine not giving your any good goss lately?
01:02:37It's just been a while.
01:02:39Oh, please.
01:02:40Let's not pretend you're here for a friendly visit.
01:02:43What's up?
01:02:46You really want to know?
01:02:49What's going on?
01:02:52Damon's alive.
01:02:55And why would I care?
01:02:57Oh, I think you'd want to know.
01:02:59Oh, fuck you. I'm in prison paying the price for you.
01:03:03What more do you want?
01:03:06See, what I think is really funny about that,
01:03:10is that you're paying the price for making me just like you.
01:03:15That.
01:03:17Are you proud of me?
01:03:22Hello.
01:03:25I have some news that you go to love.
01:03:32Ah.
01:03:34So, I was just thinking, maybe we could introduce more eco-friendly designs.
01:03:39You know, they're on par with industry trends and it's so much more sustainable.
01:03:44Mm-hmm.
01:03:46I think that's a great idea.
01:03:48I think we should discuss it.
01:03:50I've already researched some suppliers.
01:03:53They provide high-quality, eco-friendly fabrics.
01:03:56I mean, this could be a game-changer for us.
01:04:00Yeah, I think spicing things up with a new approach is cool.
01:04:04Damon, I really don't...
01:04:07Do not have that promise of my desire.
01:04:11Fuck you.
01:04:15Fuck you.
01:04:20So, what did you find out about Damon's past?
01:04:23Well, his father Eric was in drugs and gambling quite heavily.
01:04:29Everyone knows that.
01:04:31But when Eric was 15, his father left his mother Olivia,
01:04:36and left her with nothing.
01:04:38That pretty much traumatized Damon when he was younger.
01:04:41And he was kept away and sheltered from women
01:04:44because his father was misogynist that he is.
01:04:47Which is also why you were prevented from being with him.
01:04:53So it's just a cycle of darkness.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:57A vicious cycle perpetrated by his father Eric.
01:05:01And now Damon's trapped in that same cycle.
01:05:05And I heard that his mother was still alive.
01:05:09In regards to Olivia, it's not 100% known,
01:05:13but that could just be a rumor spread by Damon's competitors.
01:05:22Listen, Ella, just...
01:05:26Be careful, okay?
01:05:28He's really not a good man.
01:05:36Did you receive the gift, my son?
01:05:38Did you like it?
01:05:39I will empty my gun into your fucking head, Eric.
01:05:43I told you, I always have a way out, Damon.
01:05:47You can't escape the family ties.
01:05:50You will face vengeance.
01:05:52Don't you dare bring Ella into this.
01:05:54I will fucking kill you, I swear.
01:05:58Ah, but the game has already begun.
01:06:09I'm sorry.
01:06:20Ella and I fucking got fooled again.
01:06:29Hey, what are you doing here?
01:06:33How many of those have you had?
01:06:36You cheated on me with Sophia.
01:06:39Are you drunk?
01:06:42Answer me.
01:06:45What the fuck are you talking about?
01:06:48Answer me.
01:06:49Hey, let's talk about this later.
01:06:50Answer me!
01:06:51I'll fucking kill you!
01:06:53I'll fucking kill you!
01:06:58Answer me.
01:07:07What are you talking about?
01:07:12What are you talking about?
01:07:16Get out of here.
01:07:18Get up.
01:07:21You killed my child for revenge.
01:07:24And you married me for your damn company.
01:07:26Who the fuck is saying that?
01:07:28It doesn't matter.
01:07:29Tell the truth.
01:07:30Do you think that I don't truly love you?
01:07:33Do you think that I don't truly love you?
01:07:37Just answer me, Damon.
01:07:40Alright, yeah I did.
01:07:42At the time.
01:07:44And yes, I cheated on you with Sophia as well.
01:07:47But that is not who I am anymore.
01:07:50Remember, I didn't want to hire her again because I didn't want to make the same mistake twice.
01:07:54You are all I wanted, Lara.
01:07:56You have to believe me.
01:07:58I don't want to believe you anymore.
01:08:02I know that I've treated you badly.
01:08:04But my father, he ruined my fucking childhood.
01:08:09I'm not with you for my business anymore.
01:08:12I'm with you because I love you more than anything.
01:08:18I don't want to give you another second chance.
01:08:22But it's the only option I have because I love you more than anything, Damon.
01:08:30Don't hate me for losing this child.
01:08:33I'm so sorry, Damon.
01:08:37I can't change the past, alright?
01:08:40But I promise you a better future.
01:08:46Let's start again.
01:08:54I love you.
01:08:56I love you.
01:09:00It's okay. I should have known that Eric wasn't being sincere with me.
01:09:08That greedy bastard.
01:09:10Only wanted my help just to start getting me out of jail.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:19It wasn't Damon's fault.
01:09:21He had no idea I had feelings for him.
01:09:25I don't know that it really matters anymore.
01:09:27And I'd rather just leave things how they are.
01:09:31Isn't it too risky? I mean, Eric could find out about you.
01:09:36He already knows.
01:09:38He already knows I'm alone.
01:09:41Then you have to be careful because he's out.
01:09:46It's not me he has to be careful anymore.
01:09:53Hey, mate.
01:09:57Oh.
01:10:03So where's he hiding now?
01:10:05No clue.
01:10:07But I think we should help him before Eric finds him.
01:10:09Yeah.
01:10:11Oh, I think we should talk to him.
01:10:18Hey.
01:10:25I'll check it out first, okay?
01:10:27Okay.
01:10:28You wait here.
01:10:30Wait here.
01:10:45Franklin.
01:10:48Franklin.
01:10:49What a sound.
01:10:55Take a seat.
01:11:02Been too long, Elora.
01:11:04You won't get away with this, Eric.
01:11:11Just gathering, me and you, like old friends.
01:11:14I'm sure this is the last mistake of your life.
01:11:19As if.
01:11:21You know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
01:11:24Damon's just like his dear old dad.
01:11:26Damon's nothing like you.
01:11:27I'm proud of him.
01:11:28Please, enough of this chit-chat.
01:11:47Hey, Dad.
01:11:49I warned you.
