00:00:00And the winner in the category of Emerging Designers is...
00:00:06Alara Designs!
00:00:17Come on girls, get ready to be on the runway. See you on the other side.
00:00:22I hope Luna's not trying to get into Daniel'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.
00:00:38You know Danny, this industry creates connections. Care to join me after?
00:00:47I'm not sure about mixing pieces of pleasure, Luna. Let's just focus on the runway for now, yeah?
00:00:53This is getting ridiculous. Let's not let it ruin our designs.
00:01:02Let it be. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
00:01:06Maybe you should be the one making the advances towards him.
00:01:09Not again. Not here.
00:01:12What?
00:01:19Wonder 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. Okay.
00:01:34What's up?
00:01:36What do you want?
00:01:38Nothing. Just seeing if you're the same old grumpy CEO or if reminiscing 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.
00:01:52No, but 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. He just wanted to take everything from any woman who ever had children.
00:02:04You've got to let go of this image of betrayal, Damon.
00:02:09Doesn't matter.
00:02:10Does she know the truth?
00:02:11It's too late.
00:02:15You love her, don't you?
00:02:19I destroyed her dreams, mate. She wouldn't even want me saying her name.
00:02:24Well, this should lighten your mood.
00:02:28Her work's been gaining a lot of international attention as of last night.
00:02:33I'm pretty sure Luna will be pulling some moves to hold her back.
00:02:38I think it's high time you meant things and put her where she should be.
00:02:48What do you reckon?
00:02:50What do you reckon?
00:02:52I reckon you should get out. Go back to your room.
00:02:55You're welcome.
00:03:19I'm sorry.
00:03:35See you at the Montanai, Damon.
00:03:40This is your idea of an apology.
00:03:50Oh, hi.
00:03:52I just got news that Damon Clark and Luna are hanging out at his place tonight.
00:03:58Let the news spread.
00:04:05May I ask who's the lucky one?
00:04:08Our new business partner.
00:04:10Who else would it be?
00:04:11Oh my god, Damon!
00:04:13Damon Clark?
00:04:15Yeah.
00:04:16Who else would it be?
00:04:18Oh my god, Damon! That's huge.
00:04:21Yes, it is. Actually, 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. I'm sorry, that'll be great.
00:04:30This afternoon?
00:04:34I need to take this.
00:04:41You bitch, you sent my designs to Sky Trends. I 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.
00:05:08You can't deny Damon is one of the big names in the fashion industry.
00:05:12It's just a matter of a few calls for him.
00:05:13Besides, I think he likes you.
00:05:16What?
00:05:18Can't 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. They're all under my watch.
00:05:35Why would I bother interfering in your affairs?
00:05:38Excuse me, Mr Clark. Miss Myers will see you in her office now.
00:05:54I had to cancel our dinner, so I thought I'd surprise you, Nellie.
00:05:58I knew you had plans on me. But the first time we met, didn't you?
00:06:05What can I say? But 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? And don't forget the designs.
00:06:29You 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.
00:06:56It's fine. Maybe you want to hang 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. Do I look that old?
00:07:22Excuse me?
00:07:23You mean you're trying to set me up with someone who's maybe, what, five years older than me?
00:07:28Not with your finger, Larry. You know that.
00:07:31Just check my designs and let me go.
00:07:33I wouldn'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.
00:07:43I mean, yeah, your work's getting some recognition, but you need a ton 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.
00:08:01And all 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?
00:08:16I am sorry for keeping my mouth shut and for mistaking my reputation in this industry. That was wrong.
00:08:21You think I'm going to buy into all your stories again after all these years?
00:08:26I'll email you the designs.
00:08:28I think it's better we keep things strictly professional, don't you?
00:08:33I wasn't planning that.
00:08:38You 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.
00:08:46We need somebody with a name, a brand.
00:08:49So what if she doesn't have a million connections, Dad?
00:08:52Think outside the box, yeah?
00:08:54She's more than just a business partner to me.
00:08:57This is a cutthroat business.
00:08:59But Lara's a nobody.
00:09:01I've arranged something really special with Joey.
00:09:05He's got the right background and more importantly, he's got all the right connections.
00:09:10She's talented, Dad.
00:09:12She deserves it as much as anyone else.
00:09:13You know what, I think she's even better than me and I think that's what you're really afraid of, isn't it?
00:09:17Now you're just being naive.
00:09:19Think about what we're building here.
00:09:22Our legacy.
00:09:24You don't build an empire with someone like a Lara.
00:09:27Break that off.
00:09:29Now.
00:09:43This'll make him look like the bitch on his own.
00:10:02Why does it look like I've seen these designs before?
00:10:06Does that look like a clue?
00:10:08I don't know.
00:10:09Why does it look like I've seen these designs before?
00:10:12Does that look like a clue?
00:10:17Sophia, can you please get me some of those deal memos that I've asked for?
00:10:22Just at some point today.
00:10:24Oh yes, you'll do that this afternoon.
00:10:26Any update from Mr. Clark on his designs?
00:10:29No, but it's not really his fault I kept him busy last night.
00:10:34At 10 a.m. you have a meeting with Tumble, the head of ELP Editor.
00:10:40He'll be going over your contract, the terms and conditions.
00:10:44At 11 a.m. you've got brunch with Miss May.
00:10:47Sorry, sorry, I lost track.
00:10:49Where are we with the new launch?
00:10:51The designs are just waiting on your approval.
00:10:54And then we're ready to launch them.
00:10:57Got time to review them?
00:10:59Not really.
00:11:01Do you mind handling it, Franklin?
00:11:03I'm absolutely smashed this weekend. It can't wait.
00:11:06By the way, KK's launch is coming up. We need to align the dates.
00:11:09Gotcha. And 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. You know the industry.
00:11:31I can at least try.
00:11:34You know what? Prepare to onboard 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. And why are you so excited?
00:11:54I mean, who doesn't want to have a hot boss?
00:11:56But see, I told you Damon has feelings for you.
00:12:00Okay, 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?
00:12:15No way. 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.
00:12:24He might not have a choice.
00:12:26Luna will probably fire you if you reject.
00:12:30Hmm.
00:12:32This man has made my past hell and now he's back to ruin my career.
00:12:38He'll figure it out.
00:12:45Oh, sorry. I was expecting Luna.
00:12:49Yeah, she's on holidays for a week, so I'll be your boss till then.
00:12:54Hmm.
00:12:58So, in Luna's absence, anything I can help you with?
00:13:02Surprised 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?
00:13:16You need the current resignation.
00:13:19I've handed over all my files to Sophia, and they won't be able to take you up on your offer either.
00:13:25Hmm.
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.
00:13:37Hmm.
00:13:39So, I guess I own your ass till then.
00:13:43Hmm.
00:13:45Am I making myself clear?
00:13:47You're disgusting.
00:13:49I'm well aware.
00:13:51Hmm.
00:13:52Do I have an excuse now, Damon?
00:13:55Seeing as I'm your boss, I think you should refer to me as Mr. Clark.
00:14:02Don't you?
00:14:04Hmm.
00:14:06Oh my god, you queen!
00:14:09Um, can you explain that?
00:14:12Guess what? I'm the new co-CEO of the fashion empire.
00:14:16Who? I mean, things just finally worked out between Damon and I.
00:14:20So you've truly forgiven him?
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:25I'm so proud of you.
00:14:27Come 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 KKG's 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.
00:14:49Yeah, okay, I'll look into it.
00:14:51And hey, I'm going to take you out for dinner tonight. My treat.
00:14:54Thanks, boss.
00:15:01So you've truly forgiven him?
00:15:12Look, I understand that you've had a lot of struggles to endure because of me.
00:15:20But I need to help you out.
00:15:22Hey, Dom, I think Otis's design is fairly grand.
00:15:26How could you betray our partnership?
00:15:31Congrats, Mrs New Boss.
00:15:34Franklin, how are you?
00:15:36Good, how are you?
00:15:38Crazy.
00:15:40It's really nice to see you after a whole four years.
00:15:44Four years?
00:15:46I 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?
00:15:57I'm just waiting for Sophia.
00:15:59There she is.
00:16:01Hi.
00:16:03How are you?
00:16:05Good, how are you?
00:16:07You should join us.
00:16:09Sorry, but I can't. I've actually got company.
00:16:11However, we'll catch up soon, ladies. Have 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.
00:16:34Oh, well, excuse me, Missy, but that's exactly what Damon asked me to do.
00:16:40Listen, Allara.
00:16:42I know you're thinking about putting in a complaint against Damon and me,
00:16:46but 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.
00:16:57Quietly and without any fuss.
00:17:01Or there will be some very serious consequences.
00:17:05Thanks, Mr Clark. Really.
00:17:07Listen, sweetheart.
00:17:09This is your chance for you to move on without any drama.
00:17:12But if you should make that complaint, make any noise, raise a fuss,
00:17:17or even post something on social media about us,
00:17:20I can assure you, you, lovey, will never work in this industry again.
00:17:25Am I being clear enough?
00:17:38Hey, where are you?
00:17:40Oh, I'm so glad to meet you. What's up?
00:17:44Oh, nothing. I just wanted to see what you've been up to now.
00:17:47I'm just checking back on your reports.
00:17:50Yeah, well, there's my office, and there's my office.
00:17:54Yeah.
00:18:02How's things with Allara going?
00:18:04Really great.
00:18:05Really great.
00:18:07I didn't think she'd forgive me after what happened before, but...
00:18:11Dana.
00:18:13I wanted to tell you...
00:18:21What's up?
00:18:23No, no, please. Why wouldn't you?
00:18:25She hasn't changed.
00:18:28Sure she has.
00:18:31Seriously.
00:18:32Seriously.
00:18:35Okay.
00:18:37So you have to look at these projects.
00:18:39I've already sent you a list of contacts you'll need.
00:18:42How about I choose a project that I want to do?
00:18:46Maybe the launch of Adorea is later?
00:18:48Anything for you, baby.
00:18:53Let's see here.
00:18:55Is there anything fun?
00:19:02No.
00:19:13I have never loved anyone like you.
00:19:18I'm so sorry I lost you when you needed me.
00:19:25I'm here now.
00:19:33Hey, where are you?
00:19:36I'm at Demi's.
00:19:38Oh my god.
00:19:40Why does my head hurt so much?
00:19:42Where are you?
00:19:43Casanova's.
00:19:44Call me later.
00:19:45Bye.
00:19:46Wait, wait.
00:19:54Has the payment completed for the Mirage Casino yet?
00:19:57Can you send all the designs from the new collection to Alara about tomorrow morning, please?
00:20:00She'll take care of that.
00:20:03Thanks, mate.
00:20:07Hungry?
00:20:08Always.
00:20:15You have a beautiful home.
00:20:17Yeah.
00:20:18It's alright.
00:20:21I still feel terrible.
00:20:23Hey, I still feel terrible.
00:20:24About the past.
00:20:26It's okay.
00:20:28No.
00:20:29If you want to talk about it.
00:20:31No, I'm hungry.
00:20:32Let's eat.
00:20:41Is it true that your father chose gambling over your mother?
00:20:45I'm sorry.
00:20:46I saw it on the news.
00:20:48It's fine.
00:20:49Yeah, it's true.
00:20:50Believe it or not.
00:20:52He chose gambling over my own mother.
00:20:55And I'm still paying millions of dollars to cover his debts.
00:20:58Nice guy.
00:21:00Where is he?
00:21:01He's exactly where he belongs.
00:21:07Anyway.
00:21:09How's dinner?
00:21:11It's perfect.
00:21:20Is there anyone here?
00:21:29Hey, Alara.
00:21:31I reviewed the designs.
00:21:34But a few of them have been copied from KK's collection.
00:21:39I think you may have sent Damon the wrong file.
00:21:43You may call me Miss Knight.
00:21:46I remember when you were a kid.
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.
00:21:56Do you get it?
00:22:08Luna, finally back from vacation.
00:22:11How was it?
00:22:13Yes, I am.
00:22:14I heard you've made quite the leap.
00:22:17Co-CEO of Damon's Fashion Empire.
00:22:21Impressive.
00:22:23Thank 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 things.
00:22:40Luna, it's not like that.
00:22:42Damon saw potential in me.
00:22:45Potential?
00:22:47Or is it something else, Alara?
00:22:49I hope you're not naive enough to think it's all about your skills.
00:22:56Potential?
00:22:58Or is it something else, Alara?
00:23:00I mean, you cannot be this naive to think that it's enough about your skills.
00:23:06You know what, Luna?
00:23:08I won't let baseless accusations diminish my achievements.
00:23:11Achievements?
00:23:13You are merely a pawn in Damon's game.
00:23:19Don't come at me if Damon has given you any signals about being in a relationship with you.
00:23:24If you have an issue, take it up with Damon.
00:23:27Oh, I will.
00:23:29Enjoy your co-CEO title, Alara.
00:23:33Let's see how long it lasts.
00:23:34Let's see how long it lasts.
00:23:46Hey, Soph. What's up?
00:23:54Okay, how about drinks tonight?
00:23:58Wonderful. I'll see you there.
00:24:00Can we get some teasers made up for the launch?
00:24:03And just make sure that date isn't released to anyone, especially the media.
00:24:09Actually, from now on, only report back to me. We have to keep this highly confidential.
00:24:27Fuck!
00:24:29Oh my god!
00:24:31What are you doing?
00:24:33I thought I'd surprise you.
00:24:35You're breaking into my apartment.
00:24:38I thought you liked spontaneity and unpredictability.
00:24:48Let's not waste time.
00:24:59Oh.
00:25:07And thank god I caught on to those mistakes in your designs.
00:25:11It would have been a significant issue if I hadn't caught on to them.
00:25:15But I never crafted those designs.
00:25:19It was Alara who took charge?
00:25:22There must be some misunderstanding.
00:25:24I believe Alara will execute this vision perfectly.
00:25:30Franklin, what aren't you telling me?
00:25:33Sophia, it's just a mix-up. I'm sure Alara knows what she's doing.
00:25:39Cheers.
00:25:49There's got to be something going through her head.
00:25:55Damon, I know Alara 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 felt as if something's off.
00:26:12I'm concerned.
00:26:15Alara, why don't you mind your fucking business?
00:26:18Because we both know why you don't like her.
00:26:21Damon, I just...
00:26:22Hey, is this a new one?
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?
00:26:39I'm just concerned.
00:26:47Hey.
00:26:50Can we get a latte, please?
00:26:52How's it going with CEO?
00:26:54Oh my gosh, this week is just such a rollercoaster.
00:26:57You're coming to the launch, right? It's on the 2nd of November.
00:27:00You need to be there. I can't miss it.
00:27:02The day before KK's launch, right?
00:27:04Yeah, and we're actually going to have him as our VIP guest.
00:27:07He'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.
00:27:12Unless you're planning a showdown, right?
00:27:15I don't know what you're talking about.
00:27:17Oh, come on, Alara. I know you too well.
00:27:19There's no way you're going down without some revenge-seeking.
00:27:24I've changed a lot since I was a kid.
00:27:28I know what this is about.
00:27:30This is about Franklin, isn't it?
00:27:32Why 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?
00:27:50This is so strange.
00:27:59No one's going to want to live when I get out of here.
00:28:02Shut that fucking bench!
00:28:08Wake up, chump. The girl didn't see you.
00:28:13I'm sorry.
00:28:15Wake up, chump. The girl didn't see you.
00:28:22A girl?
00:28:24What girl?
00:28:36Jimmy?
00:28:38I don't want to remember you, sweetheart.
00:28:41Oh, did Damon send you, did he?
00:28:44That creep. 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?
00:28:56You mean the son who put me in here?
00:28:58Who pays these guys to keep me here? That son?
00:29:03But if he didn't send you...
00:29:06Who are you, gorgeous?
00:29:09Alara.
00:29:12Alara Knight?
00:29:15You're the reason I'm here!
00:29:19I won't spare you when I'm out!
00:29:23Bye, Alara. Thanks for dropping by.
00:29:27See you soon.
00:29:33Hey, Sophia. Is Alara with you?
00:29:36No, she's not here.
00:29:38Some of the calls to her aren't going through.
00:29:41Do you know where she might be?
00:29:44No.
00:29:49Where have you been?
00:29:51I wasn't well. I went to the doctor.
00:29:53Really? You should have told me.
00:29:55I'm fine now. Don't worry.
00:29:57You sure?
00:29:58Yeah.
00:30:02Are you okay?
00:30:05Yeah, I'm fine. I just have so much to do still for the launch in two days.
00:30:09I need a hand.
00:30:11Fine.
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... I 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?
00:30:36No, I was super busy at the time.
00:30:38And honestly, I didn't even get a chance to look at the designs you pitched for Alara.
00:30:43But why didn't you say something, Damon?
00:30:46I mean, why have you been hiding it this whole time?
00:30:49I don't know.
00:30:53Is there something else you're hiding?
00:30:59You know what I admire about you?
00:31:02You forget.
00:31:03You know what I admire about you?
00:31:06You forgave me before you even knew the truth.
00:31:09Yeah, but that's...
00:31:10It doesn't matter.
00:31:12The only thing that matters...
00:31:14...is getting those lips off the ground.
00:31:34I'm sorry.
00:32:00Yes, Miss Knight?
00:32:01Oh, just call me Alara.
00:32:04Please, um...
00:32:07I know, I'm so sorry.
00:32:09I need to apologize.
00:32:10I was so rude to you and...
00:32:13I lost my mind.
00:32:16But I'm better now.
00:32:18It's okay.
00:32:22You sure?
00:32:26Not again.
00:32:32You're the reason I'm here!
00:32:36I won't spare you when I'm out!
00:33:01Are you crazy? You're freaking me out.
00:33:03No, but I'm holding you.
00:33:05I'm sorry.
00:33:08What about Cedric Quickey?
00:33:10I promise you, he's going to kill me.
00:33:12You know what you are.
00:33:13That's just an excuse.
00:33:20I'm sorry.
00:33:22I'm sorry.
00:33:24I'm sorry.
00:33:26I'm sorry.
00:33:28I'm sorry.
00:33:30Cheers.
00:33:34Thank you so much, Sophia.
00:33:36I couldn't have done this without you.
00:33:38You can count on me anytime.
00:33:41What about Franklin?
00:33:43Don't worry, he won't catch word of it.
00:33:45Damon will.
00:33:48So, what's it like being in love with someone you used to hate?
00:33:54Actually, really nice.
00:33:56But...
00:33:57But what?
00:33:59He's got all these issues with his father that I'm somehow related to.
00:34:03And it was his father that stole my designs.
00:34:06And he's keeping a secret for all these years.
00:34:08Yeah, isn't Eric in jail right now?
00:34:10Yeah, how did you know that?
00:34:12Franklin told me.
00:34:14Hey, you should speak to Franklin about it.
00:34:29I'm sorry.
00:35:00I'm so freaked out.
00:35:02There's someone in the house.
00:35:05It's so creepy.
00:35:07Why didn't you tell me about this?
00:35:09I don't know.
00:35:10I've just been so busy and I completely forgot.
00:35:12Do you think I should tell Damon about this?
00:35:14I don't know, but whatever you do,
00:35:16just don't tell him you knew this manufacturer.
00:35:18He'll figure it out.
00:35:23Wow.
00:35:25And you know what?
00:35:27What?
00:35:29And did you find out about the murderer?
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:33It was Mr. Eric Clark's agent behind this murder.
00:35:38Are you sure?
00:35:40I'm sure.
00:35:48He's fucking kidding.
00:35:56Wow.
00:36:03Hey.
00:36:05So, time for grocery shopping?
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:12That's Damon's.
00:36:14He left it in my car last night.
00:36:16Nice gun.
00:36:18Thanks.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:29Spare a lie, huh?
00:36:31Keep your eye on Sophia for now.
00:36:36Inform the boss.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:36:59Yeah.
00:37:27Hey.
00:37:29Can you hear me now?
00:37:34I've got something that I need to tell you.
00:37:37Um.
00:37:40Um.
00:37:44What is that?
00:37:46What is that?
00:37:47What?
00:37:48Ah!
00:37:50What is that?
00:37:52What is that?
00:37:53What is that?
00:37:54Ah!
00:37:57Didn't Eric choose gambling over his own wife?
00:38:00Yeah, that could be a reason.
00:38:02But I think it's more than that.
00:38:04A general rivalry, perhaps.
00:38:08Don't be so surprised, Alara.
00:38:10That's how things work here.
00:38:17Hello.
00:38:19You okay?
00:38:20Yes.
00:38:21Sorry.
00:38:25I would like to ask you something, Alara.
00:38:27What is it?
00:38:30Close your eyes.
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:41You can open them now.
00:38:43Oh my god, Damon, I...
00:38:45Alara Knight.
00:38:47Will you marry me?
00:38:50I don't know what to say.
00:38:51It's fine, it's fine.
00:38:53You 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.
00:39:02Okay.
00:39:24Hello?
00:39:28Who is this?
00:39:36Who's that?
00:39:37Oh, no answer.
00:39:41Cheers.
00:39:46It's too simple, I know.
00:39:53I told you to fucking kidnap Alara.
00:39:56What am I supposed to do with this other bitch?
00:39:58She found out about me.
00:40:01Alara will still bring us the money for your bed.
00:40:04Then I'll kill her.
00:40:23Hello?
00:40:26Who is this?
00:40:29What do you want?
00:40:33Sofia, is that you?
00:40:43Sofia, is that you?
00:40:46Where are you?
00:40:48Zero.
00:40:50I'm so sorry.
00:40:52You'll be executed.
00:41:10I'll pay you all this fucking money and you can't figure it out?
00:41:14You have two days.
00:41:15No, two days.
00:41:22Still playing your same tricks, hey?
00:41:25You can just murder someone and get away with no consequences.
00:41:30The counterfeit manufacturer.
00:41:34He got what he deserved.
00:41:36Still the same fucking narcissist as me.
00:41:41I could see that.
00:41:44She's making your life hard, you know?
00:41:48You see what I mean?
00:41:50Do you?
00:41:51No.
00:41:53She came here looking for some answers.
00:41:58You haven't told her, have you?
00:41:59You haven't told her why you put me in here.
00:42:03What are you afraid of?
00:42:04A little betrayal?
00:42:08What did you say to her?
00:42:12What did you say to her?
00:42:13Let's go.
00:42:14You wait.
00:42:15What did you say to her?
00:42:16Bye, son.
00:42:17Eric, what did you fucking say to her?
00:42:47Fuck.
00:43:17Fuck.
00:43:48What are you doing here so late?
00:43:50Oh, I um, I wanted to see you.
00:43:54Do you now?
00:43:56You know, I've been thinking about us and our future together.
00:44:00I 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.
00:44:15Fair 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.
00:44:46As far as I'm concerned, I know everything that I need to know.
00:44:52Understand?
00:44:54I don't need anything else.
00:44:55I mean, we've cleared the slate from everything that happened in the past.
00:44:58I'm holding nothing back, Galara.
00:45:02You did lie to me about your father.
00:45:06Is he in jail because of me?
00:45:10That monster.
00:45:12That monster killed my newborn sister.
00:45:15He discarded my mother while he was on his gambling spiral,
00:45:18and he threatened to kill you if I attempted to bring you back into my life.
00:45:22Now, I've waited years and years and years for this moment.
00:45:27But I couldn't risk bringing you back until he paid for the sins that he'd committed.
00:45:33So you kept it a secret?
00:45:38You thought I was back for revenge?
00:45:42No.
00:45:44Are you?
00:45:49You had an account of him. In fact, you read it.
00:45:54Camilla.
00:45:59Taylor, I'm sorry. I really am. I...
00:46:02I love you so much.
00:46:04But...
00:46:06I never meant to...
00:46:08It's fine.
00:46:11Because I don't care.
00:46:13I don't care about any of it.
00:46:16I just don't want to spend another second of my life without you in it.
00:46:20I cannot make it any clearer than that.
00:46:29I love you so much.
00:46:42Hello?
00:46:44Get to work. Nearly have a day left.
00:46:48What?
00:46:50How do I know Sophia's even fine and with you?
00:46:59Oh, don't be so clever.
00:47:02No pictures they'll be locating me.
00:47:05I have to trust my words.
00:47:07I have to trust my words.
00:47:10What do you want? Why are you doing this?
00:47:14Because it's you.
00:47:16Fuck me.
00:47:18You know I'm lucky.
00:47:20So you don't waste your time looking for me.
00:47:23Now it's too late.
00:47:25I don't... I need more time. I don't have ten million dollars.
00:47:29Still some dignity.
00:47:31I don't care.
00:47:33Whatever it takes.
00:47:34It's okay.
00:47:36Tomorrow.
00:47:38Wait. Hold on.
00:47:41Do you see me?
00:47:49I'll find you.
00:48:05Oh, thanks Franklin. You really needed it.
00:48:10By the way, you should work on your investigation skills.
00:48:13You gave me the wrong tea.
00:48:15I did?
00:48:17In what way?
00:48:19I mean... I mean you didn't hear it from me.
00:48:22But I might be a member of the Clark family very soon.
00:48:26It's confidential.
00:48:30Have you seen Sophia?
00:48:32Have you seen Sophia?
00:48:34Long time no see.
00:48:37She's fine. She's...
00:48:40easy 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.
00:48:53But if you really mean it about going out on your own,
00:48:57I'm here for you.
00:48:58I'm here for you.
00:49:00You're serious about this, aren't you?
00:49:03Yeah.
00:49:05Okay, well then.
00:49:07I'm investing five million dollars at the interest rate
00:49:11of one child per year until we're really old and really grey.
00:49:16Thank you, Danny.
00:49:18I love you.
00:49:20Okay, I'll tell her.
00:49:26That's it.
00:49:28Exciting.
00:49:49I have the money. Tell me where to bring it.
00:49:52Ten million?
00:49:54Yes, ten million.
00:49:55Ten million.
00:49:57Ah, Lara.
00:49:59Such 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, Lara.
00:50:15I've sent the location.
00:50:20Okay, I'll be there in thirty minutes.
00:50:22I don't care.
00:50:23You'll do whatever it takes and you'll be there in fifteen or...
00:50:27Okay, I'll be there.
00:50:34Franklin, why are you doing this?
00:50:36You don't have to do this.
00:50:40Or is it because you're secretly in love with Damon?
00:50:43Huh?
00:50:45What do you know?
00:50:47You think you're just going to provoke me like this?
00:50:49Yeah, I heard you had a thing for Damon.
00:50:51Is that why you're doing all this?
00:50:53You have no idea what I have done for this family or for him.
00:50:58Over the past five years and now helping him to win a Lara back.
00:51:03All the lies I've heard.
00:51:07Not an ounce of appreciation or love.
00:51:11Nothing.
00:51:13You don't have to do this.
00:51:15You know, there's other ways to find love and acceptance.
00:51:19There's no other ways for people like me.
00:51:23Not one.
00:51:26Especially not in this industry, under this family.
00:51:30The rest of us are doomed to humiliation in our personal lives and professional lives.
00:51:36But what if there was?
00:51:38This way is not going to get you anywhere.
00:51:49It's a Lara Drake.
00:51:52Franklin?
00:51:54The kidnapper?
00:52:06What do you got for me?
00:52:08Damon, you better sit down for this.
00:52:11Word is he's holed up at the Token Warehouse as we speak.
00:52:15Token Warehouse?
00:52:16You sure about this?
00:52:18Yeah, sure, mate.
00:52:20This is our chance to nail the guy.
00:52:22We need to move fast.
00:52:24Alright, I'm not sitting this one out.
00:52:26I'm coming with.
00:52:28Let's end this once and for all, hey?
00:52:38Surprised, the Lara?
00:52:41It's been me this whole time.
00:52:47Why are you doing this, Franklin?
00:52:50What do you already have?
00:52:52Why don't we talk about this later?
00:52:54Leave me the fuck.
00:52:59Now, walk backwards until you reach the gate.
00:53:05Are you kidding me? I'm not leaving her here.
00:53:08Walk backwards or I'll shoot.
00:53:10I'll shoot.
00:53:16Goodbye, Lara.
00:53:41Don't call her.
00:53:49Franklin?
00:53:56I honestly don't even have the words.
00:53:58I'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.
00:54:05You risked your life for a Lara.
00:54:07How did you find us?
00:54:08As soon as my source sent me the location,
00:54:11I just went straight away.
00:54:13I didn't think I'd come out alive.
00:54:17All's well that ends well.
00:54:19Stop.
00:54:21I'm sorry, I have to take 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?
00:55:01The mask, not a big deal?
00:55:03There was an intruder in your house, but that's not a big fucking deal?
00:55:05Are you insane?
00:55:06Sorry, I got fucked up.
00:55:08You promised me you would never hide anything like this again.
00:55:13So, ready to give up your rap?
00:55:16Oh.
00:55:18Doesn'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 a Lara's head,
00:55:24and I will not tolerate it any fucking longer.
00:55:27Possessive?
00:55:29How cute.
00:55:31This isn't a joke.
00:55:33You stay away from me, you stay away from Lara.
00:55:34No tricks.
00:55:36No spies.
00:55:38Because if you don't, I will not hesitate
00:55:40to make your life in here even more fucking miserable than it already is.
00:55:44More miserable?
00:55:46I'm in a fucking prison, what are you going to do in here?
00:55:48Well, you see, that's the thing.
00:55:50Because I've got evidence linking you to Franklin's murder.
00:55:53And I would take great pleasure in having you charged with that as well.
00:56:01Don't push me, Eric.
00:56:02Don't push me, Eric.
00:56:04This is a game you will never win.
00:56:07Hear me?
00:56:12Remember,
00:56:14I control this chessboard.
00:56:17So you choose your moves very wisely.
00:56:28Hi.
00:56:30Welcome home, I made your favourite.
00:56:32You always know how to make a shit day better.
00:56:36You went to see Eric, right?
00:56:40Can I ask you a question?
00:56:42Why do you keep visiting him in jail?
00:56:45What's the purpose?
00:56:47I visit him to keep an eye on him.
00:56:49It's easier to control a known entity
00:56:51than an unpredictable one.
00:56:58And how's the living situation going?
00:57:00Any regrets?
00:57:02Pretty good so far.
00:57:04No regrets, pretty enjoyable I'd say.
00:57:07Well, you know what they say.
00:57:09What do they say?
00:57:11A couple that eat dessert together stay together for eternity.
00:57:14Is that so?
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:30Hey, I can't handle this workload alone.
00:57:34I really need help.
00:57:36Can we hire Sophia in place of Franklin?
00:57:39Sophia's great, but
00:57:41it's for friends and business.
00:57:43It's complicated things.
00:57:45I just want to keep my personal life and work life separate.
00:57:49Okay.
00:57:51We'll find someone else.
00:57:53By the way, we have a dinner tonight with Miss...
00:57:56Leah.
00:57:58Echo Magazines.
00:58:00Yeah.
00:58:14I'm sorry.
00:58:16I'm sorry.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:20I'm sorry.
00:58:22I'm sorry.
00:58:24I'm sorry.
00:58:26I'm sorry.
00:58:28I'm sorry.
00:58:30I'm sorry.
00:58:32I'm sorry.
00:58:34I'm sorry.
00:58:36I'm sorry.
00:58:38I'm sorry.
00:58:40I'm sorry.
00:58:41I'm sorry.
00:58:45You are a knight.
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.
00:58:56Marry me.
00:59:09To us.
00:59:12A lifetime of happiness.
00:59:26Please.
00:59:40How is this even possible?
00:59:42I saw her body myself.
00:59:45No. No.
00:59:47Don't send her to my fucking phone.
00:59:49Wait there. I'm coming.
00:59:57Good morning, Mrs. Clark. Miss me?
01:00:00Mm-hmm.
01:00:02Oh, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
01:00:05You have gone to work.
01:00:07We just got married yesterday, Damon.
01:00:09Is it that important?
01:00:11I know. I know. I'm so sorry.
01:00:13You're right. We really need a hand.
01:00:15But I will get it sorted ASAP.
01:00:17And for now, get yourself ready
01:00:19because in 30 minutes we are going shopping.
01:00:23I love you, Mrs. C.
01:00:25I love you, Mrs. C.
01:00:27I love you, Mr. C.
01:00:33You think you could get involved with Damon without any consequences?
01:00:38Leave me.
01:00:40You were told not to get involved with him.
01:00:44Now you're going to suffer.
01:00:55I love you.
01:00:57Do you have a bedroom?
01:00:59No.
01:01:04It's okay.
01:01:24I love you.
01:01:44Did you hear, right on the street,
01:01:46that Alex Thornton is looking for a designer to collaborate with
01:01:49on his next big fashion campaign?
01:01:51Really?
01:01:52Oh, 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,
01:02:01but everything is tagged with his own name.
01:02:03I know.
01:02:05How 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
01:02:15and I just feel like he's hiding something.
01:02:19Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
01:02:21Yeah.
01:02:25What's up?
01:02:27Seems like your little singing birdie is just along the nest.
01:02:30What are you doing here, Damon?
01:02:33You just fine not giving your any good goss lately?
01:02:36It's just been a while.
01:02:38Oh, please.
01:02:40Let's not pretend you're here for a friendly visit.
01:02:42What's up?
01:02:45You really want to know?
01:02:47Not you.
01:02:48What's going on?
01:02:51Mum's alive.
01:02:54And why would I care?
01:02:56I think you want to know.
01:02:58Oh, fuck you!
01:03:00I'm in prison paying the price for you!
01:03:02What more do you want?
01:03:05See, what I think is really funny about that
01:03:08is that you're paying the price for making me just like you.
01:03:13Bad.
01:03:15Are you proud of me?
01:03:16Are you proud of me?
01:03:23Hello.
01:03:25I have some news
01:03:28that you
01:03:30are going to love.
01:03:32Ah.
01:03:34So, I was just thinking
01:03:36maybe we could introduce more eco-friendly designs.
01:03:39You know, they're on par with industry trends
01:03:43and 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.
01:03:59Yeah, I think
01:04:01spicing things up with a new approach is a great idea.
01:04:04Dammit, I really don't...
01:04:07Do not
01:04:09have that confidence in my design.
01:04:11Fuck you.
01:04:14Fuck you.
01:04:20So, what did you find out about Damon's past?
01:04:23Well,
01:04:25his father, Eric, was in drugs and gambling quite heavily.
01:04:29Everyone knows that.
01:04:31But when Eric was 15,
01:04:33his father left his mother, Olivia,
01:04:36and left her with nothing.
01:04:38That pretty much traumatised Damon when he was younger.
01:04:41And he was kept away and sheltered from
01:04:43women because his father was misogynist, that he is.
01:04:47Which is also why
01:04:49you were prevented from being with him.
01:04:53So it's just a cycle of darkness.
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58A vicious cycle perpetrated by his father, Eric.
01:05:01And now Damon's trapped in that same cycle.
01:05:06I heard that his mother was still alive.
01:05:09In regards to Olivia,
01:05:10it's not 100% known, but
01:05:13that could just be a rumour spread by Damon's competitors.
01:05:22Listen, Ella, just...
01:05:25be careful, okay?
01:05:27He's really not a good man.
01:05:35Did you receive the gift, my son?
01:05:38Did you like it?
01:05:40I will empty my gun into your fucking head, Eric.
01:05:43I told you.
01:05:45I always have a way out, Damon.
01:05:47You can't escape the family ties.
01:05:50You will face vengeance.
01:05:53Don't you dare bring Lara into this.
01:05:55I will fucking kill you, I swear.
01:05:58Ah, but the game has already begun.
01:06:10I'm sorry.
01:06:20With Lara and I,
01:06:22I fucking got fooled again.
01:06:28Hey.
01:06:30What are you doing here?
01:06:33How many of those have you had?
01:06:36Did you cheat on me with Sophia?
01:06:38Are you drunk?
01:06:40Answer me.
01:06:44What the fuck are you talking about?
01:06:46Answer me.
01:06:48Hey, let's talk about this later.
01:06:50Answer me!
01:06:52How fucking dare you?
01:06:54How fucking dare you?
01:07:08What are you talking about?
01:07:13What are you talking about?
01:07:18Get up.
01:07:23You killed my child for revenge.
01:07:26And you married me for your damn company.
01:07:29Who the fuck is saying that?
01:07:31It doesn't matter. Tell the truth.
01:07:33Do you think that I don't truly love you?
01:07:34Just answer me, David.
01:07:37Oh, right, yeah, I did.
01:07:39At the time.
01:07:41And yes, I cheated on you with Sophia as well.
01:07:44But that is not who I am anymore.
01:07:47Remember, I didn't want to hire her again
01:07:49because I didn't want to make the same mistake twice.
01:07:51You are all I wanted, Lara.
01:07:53You have to believe me.
01:07:55I don't want to believe you anymore.
01:07:58I know that I've treated you badly.
01:08:00I know that I've hurt you.
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.
01:08:21But it's the only option I have
01:08:23because I love you more than anything, David.
01:08:25I love you, David.
01:08:30And don't hate me for losing this child.
01:08:33I'm so sorry, David.
01:08:37I can't change the past, all right?
01:08:40But I promise you a better future.
01:08:46Let's start again.
01:08:48I love you.
01:08:50I love you.
01:08:54It's okay.
01:08:56I should have known that Eric wasn't being sincere with me.
01:09:02That greedy bastard.
01:09:04Only wanted my help just to start getting me out of jail.
01:09:10I'm sorry.
01:09:12I'm sorry.
01:09:14I'm sorry.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:19It wasn't David's fault.
01:09:21He had no idea I had feelings for him.
01:09:25Not that it really matters anymore.
01:09:27And I'd rather just leave things how they are.
01:09:31Isn't it too risky?
01:09:33I mean, Eric could find out about you.
01:09:36He already knows.
01:09:38He already knows I'm alive.
01:09:41Then you have to be careful because he's out.
01:09:46There's not many of us to be careful anymore.
01:09:51So just...
01:09:53Keep going.
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.
01:10:10Yeah.
01:10:11Oh, I think we should talk to him.
01:10:15Yeah.
01:10:26I'll check it out first, alright?
01:10:28You wait here.
01:10:30Wait here.
01:10:45Franklin!
01:10:48Franklin!
01:10:49Not a sound.
01:10:55Take a seat.
01:11:02Been too long, Elara.
01:11:04You won't get away with this, Eric.
01:11:11It's a gathering, me and you, like old friends.
01:11:14I'm sure this is the last mistake of your life.
01:11:18As if.
01:11:20You know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
01:11:23Damon's just like his dear old dad.
01:11:25Damon's nothing like you.
01:11:27I'm proud of him.
01:11:28Oh, please, enough of this chit-chat.
01:11:44Uh.
01:11:47Hey, Dad.
01:11:49I warned ya.
01:11:50Uh.
