00:43:32the more you risk
00:43:33the more you gain
00:43:34wouldn't you agree?

00:43:39in just a few years
00:43:40isn't that right Mr. Clipper?
00:43:42makes sense
00:43:43but I get the feeling

00:44:09so make sure you're ready
00:44:10to go all in
00:44:1220 billion?
00:44:14that's just pocket change
00:44:16think of it as a little gift
00:44:18my way of saying hello
00:44:27if really
00:44:29there's no guarantee
00:44:30the only branch
00:44:31that business is successful
00:44:32you have to think about it to us

00:44:4330 billion!
00:44:45idiot
00:44:46sure this is a major brand
00:44:48and the market value is insane
00:44:49but over the past year
00:44:51the company behind it
00:44:52has been drowning in debt
00:44:53whoever wins to bid
00:44:55will also inherit its debt
00:44:5630 billion going once
00:44:58Mr. Clipper's beating Paul
00:44:59what's he trying to achieve?
00:45:01going twice
00:45:02since Mr. Astor is so fun of it
00:45:06I guess I'll have to give it to him
00:45:09sold
00:45:10to the Astor family
00:45:11the Manta trademark
00:45:13settle the payment first
00:45:19I'm very lucky

00:45:25she jacked up the price
00:45:27and forced me to buy it
00:45:28at three times its value
00:45:29damn it!

00:55:18who the hell she knows about her contract?
00:55:20I overheard her bodyguards
00:55:21they were gossiping about what you two

00:59:40he
00:59:58Mark, when was that orange juice made?
01:00:01About 20 minutes ago.
01:00:0220 minutes.
01:00:03And you're letting Ella drink it?
01:00:06That's practically old.
01:00:07I'm going to make a press one.
01:00:09Just sit down and eat.
01:00:15Oh, hey, I've got some greatness.
01:00:17You've officially been accepted into business school.
01:00:20I donated two research buildings in your name.
01:00:22Are you insane?
01:00:23I could have gotten it on my own.
01:00:25But that'll take too long.
01:00:26The sooner you graduate, the more time you can spend with me.
01:00:40Heard about yesterday.
01:00:41Are you all right?
01:00:42Look at me.
01:00:44I'm completely fine.
01:00:45I shouldn't have let you go alone.
01:00:47Igles was right.
01:00:48There are too many people after you now.
01:00:51Which is why he wants me by your side at school.
01:00:54All the time, actually.
01:00:55Hey.
01:00:56Don't beat yourself up over it, okay?
01:00:59Okay.
01:00:59Oh, and the Astro Group went bankrupt yesterday.
01:01:03Guess who pulled the strings?
01:01:08Um...
01:01:08Guess who pulled the strings?
01:01:10I heard that Paul Astro got beat into a pop yesterday.
01:01:14And, not even an hour later, the Astro Group declared bankruptcy.
01:01:19No way.
01:01:20Nicholas doesn't have this kind of power.
01:01:22Could it be Clipper?
01:01:23Very possible.
01:01:25After all, Paul did cause a scene in his auction house.
01:01:29Clipper is a ruthless man.
01:01:31But this doesn't add up.
01:01:34I can't shake the feeling that he's trying to help us.
01:01:37Could be.
01:01:38Could be.
01:01:39Clipper is hosting a ball next week.
01:01:41That'd be your chance to ask him herself.
01:01:42Yeah, that sounds good.
01:01:44But first, get me to school.
01:01:47And remember to stay out of sight.
01:01:51All right.
01:01:53Something for Paul, do you?
01:01:55Yeah.
01:01:59Hello, beautiful.
01:02:05How come I've never seen you be here before?
01:02:09Hold that thought.
01:02:09I have something for you.
01:02:17Oh, don't be shy.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:22See you around.
01:02:24Beautiful.
01:02:29Who the hell is she?
01:02:40Hey, Niko.
01:02:42This is the business analytics assignment for tomorrow's class.
01:02:45I need it done.
01:02:47And sent to me by 10 p.m. tonight.
01:02:50Are you, um, bullying me?
01:02:55I'm just showing you how things work around here.
01:02:58All right.
01:02:59Pass it over.
01:03:02Good girl.
01:03:04You learn fast.
01:03:13You need some help?
01:03:15I'm your top-trained hacker, remember?
01:03:17And plus, I used to run a company.
01:03:19Why would I need your help with a little school assignment?
01:03:22All right.
01:03:23I'll keep you some company if you don't mind.
01:03:26Oh, by the way, Stephen said that there's some bullying going on at school.
01:03:30You want me to handle that?
01:03:32Um, I can handle it myself.
01:03:47Where is my assignment?
01:03:49Oh, right here.
01:03:53You're not even curious about what's inside?
01:03:57Okay, let me show you.
01:04:02Was it funny at the time?
01:04:05Next time you listen to me.
01:04:08If you ever bully anyone again,
01:04:10this video will be played on every monitor on campus.
01:04:14Not to mention the principal's computer.
01:04:26No thinking.
01:04:29I just don't get it.
01:04:30What did I do to make her want to come after me?
01:04:33I have something to do with this guy.
01:04:35Uh, who is he?
01:04:37Do I know him?
01:04:38The guy who slid the flowers the first day here at the school.
01:04:41Oh, him?
01:04:42Yeah, Simon Harrington.
01:04:45Full battalion captain,
01:04:46old money,
01:04:47hard drop of all the girls in this school,
01:04:50hurt his grandfather was a Navy admiral,
01:04:52and his parents run a major Wall Street investment firm.
01:04:55You gossip like a high schooler, Stephen.
01:04:58Gotta stay informed, huh?
01:04:59So,
01:05:00what does any of this have to do with me?
01:05:02Come on, Ella.
01:05:04Simon likes you,
01:05:05and Tracy is jealous.
01:05:07Hey,
01:05:08now I get it.
01:05:23So,
01:05:28what do you say?
01:05:30Dinner,
01:05:31a movie.
01:05:36Um,
01:05:37sorry.
01:05:38I have a better idea.
01:05:39How about a nice romantic walk on the beach?
01:05:41Um,
01:05:42sorry I'm not interested.
01:05:44Fine.
01:05:45Whatever you want to do,
01:05:46I'm game.
01:05:47I'm not interested.
01:05:51Okay, look.
01:05:53No one has ever said no to me before.
01:05:55Will you
01:05:56at least go to my birthday party?
01:05:58No.
01:06:00I'm gonna take that as yes.
01:06:02Later, beautiful.
01:06:19Handsome guy is persistent.
01:06:21Are you dodging him?
01:06:22Because I already have a boyfriend.
01:06:25Boyfriend?
01:06:26Are you dating Nicholas?
01:06:28Um.
01:06:29Wow, wow, wow, wow.
01:06:31Making big moves
01:06:31and I don't tell you best of all, too.
01:06:43It is obvious Ella cheated on her paper.
01:06:46She just got into the program
01:06:47and has barely taken any classes.
01:06:50So how could she nail the paper so easily?
01:06:53Exactly.
01:06:54And cheating is unforgettable.
01:06:56You're being expelled.
01:06:58Rules
01:06:58are rules.
01:07:00She's just James and Desperate.
01:07:04It's very clear
01:07:05that you're trying to be
01:07:06some kind of smart Cinderella
01:07:07for, let me guess,
01:07:10Simon's attention.
01:07:12It's too bad.
01:07:13He already knows
01:07:13about your little cheating stunt.
01:07:15I wonder what he thinks about you now.
01:07:21Um, why the hell would I care
01:07:23what he thinks about me?
01:07:25What's more interesting
01:07:26is you got rejected
01:07:27and somehow decided
01:07:29I'm the problem.
01:07:30There's something wrong
01:07:32with you, Tracy.
01:07:33We'll see if you saw
01:07:33such a smart mouth
01:07:34when the professor finds out
01:07:35you've been cheating.
01:07:38I can't explain
01:07:39how I'm thankful to you, Ella.
01:07:41You are incredible.
01:07:43If it wasn't for you,
01:07:44we will lose
01:07:45all aerospace department data.
01:07:47Aerospace data?
01:07:49Professor Lawrence,
01:07:50I let you know
01:07:51I have midterm paper.
01:07:52Ella helped us
01:07:53track down Hacker
01:07:54and recover stolen aerospace.
01:07:56So she didn't need
01:07:57to cheat on midterm paper.
01:08:00Huh.
01:08:00That's impossible.
01:08:02I think you owe me
01:08:03an apology, Tracy.
01:08:06And as I was scraping
01:08:08the data for Mr. Lawrence,
01:08:09guess what I found?
01:08:13Evidence.
01:08:14Your father's corruption
01:08:15is all in this drive.
01:08:17And if it goes public...
01:08:24What do you want?
01:08:26Tell everyone the truth
01:08:27that I didn't lie
01:08:29or else.
01:08:31But I didn't cheat.
01:08:34I made it up.
01:08:35You should apologize
01:08:36to Ella.
01:08:44Sorry, Ella.
01:08:47Dad,
01:08:48you got an invitation
01:08:49to the Clipper exclusive ball?
01:08:51Yes, I did.
01:08:53He's one of the biggest
01:08:54investors in our school.
01:08:56Rumors say he's young,
01:08:57successful,
01:08:58and ridiculously handsome.
01:09:01I need to secure
01:09:02a deal with her.
01:09:04It's of utmost importance.
01:09:07I have to bring me with you.
01:09:08This is my chance.
01:09:14Of course.
01:09:15You can come with me.
01:09:18And this will do you
01:09:20a lot of good.
01:09:22Hasn't her?
01:09:23I'll say to you
01:09:24that she is kicked out.
01:09:27Thank you, Daddy.
01:09:29You're a ticket
01:09:30to the Clipper's ball.
01:09:31The most prestigious event
01:09:33in the tri-state area.
01:09:35Heard that Mr. Clipper
01:09:37is hosting this year's
01:09:38event himself.
01:09:39Oh, great.
01:09:40Remember the deal
01:09:41I failed to close
01:09:42last time I saw him?
01:09:43He turned me down
01:09:44and refunded
01:09:45every cent
01:09:46I spent
01:09:46at the auction.
01:09:48So you're still
01:09:49going after
01:09:49the partnership?
01:09:50Not necessarily.
01:09:52The ball will be
01:09:53crawling with billionaires.
01:09:54If I don't get
01:09:55a deal with him,
01:09:56I'll find someone else.
01:09:57All I need
01:09:58is one solid
01:09:59trillion dollar contract
01:10:01and the Blanchard
01:10:02group will be
01:10:02back in the game.
01:10:04How do you plan
01:10:05on telling Nicholas
01:10:05about the ball?
01:10:07Um,
01:10:08I'll figure something out.
01:10:10Don't tell a woman
01:10:11to sneak you out
01:10:12again.
01:10:22You know,
01:10:23it seems
01:10:24she's received
01:10:25an invitation as well.
01:10:27So that's why
01:10:28she turned down Simon.
01:10:29It's not because
01:10:30she's not interested.
01:10:31It's because she's
01:10:32hunting bigger prey.
01:10:33What a joke.
01:10:34That's it, you know?
01:10:35Yeah.
01:10:37She thinks she's
01:10:38some kind of Cinderella
01:10:39and some princess
01:10:40going to come
01:10:40and sweep her off her feet.
01:10:42She won't be
01:10:43having a good time then.
01:10:44No.
01:10:51All right?
01:10:53Yeah,
01:10:53just a little bit nervous.
01:10:56Are you sure
01:10:56about showing
01:10:57a real face
01:10:57to Mr. Klipper?
01:10:58I'm sure.
01:10:59If I'm sincere enough
01:11:00about myself
01:11:01and my story,
01:11:02maybe he'll reconsider
01:11:03the partnership with me.
01:11:04Girl,
01:11:05your perfume.
01:11:06If Nicholas knew
01:11:07about so much effort
01:11:08in dressing up
01:11:09for this party...
01:11:09Well,
01:11:10he definitely
01:11:11cannot know.
01:11:18Damn.
01:11:19This is the best
01:11:20wine I've ever had.
01:11:22Hey, Ella.
01:11:22Yeah?
01:11:23Check it out.
01:11:25What is this
01:11:26drama queen
01:11:26is doing here?
01:11:27Uh,
01:11:28I'm not surprised.
01:11:29We should be glad
01:11:30that Simon
01:11:31and Jessica
01:11:32aren't here.
01:11:35The great
01:11:36just what we needed.
01:11:38Hey,
01:11:39broke loser.
01:11:40What are you doing here?
01:11:41Don't tell me
01:11:42you followed me
01:11:42all the way here.
01:11:44Athetic.
01:11:45I didn't realize
01:11:46this event
01:11:47was a exclusive one.
01:11:50I want you
01:11:51to look at that.
01:11:52You're wearing
01:11:53the same perfume
01:11:53as me.
01:11:55You really are
01:11:55trying so hard
01:11:56to be me,
01:11:57aren't you?
01:11:57I will never
01:11:58be like you.
01:11:59Some of us
01:12:00actually have
01:12:00a reason to be here.
01:12:02Are you done talking?
01:12:03Because if you are,
01:12:04I'm leaving.
01:12:04Don't walk away
01:12:05from me, you.
01:12:09I'll play
01:12:09Tracer's after something.
01:12:11Mm-hmm.
01:12:11Like a game.
01:12:16I just
01:12:17don't get it.
01:12:17Why does she
01:12:18seize me
01:12:19as her
01:12:19imaginary fault?
01:12:22Steven,
01:12:23you have
01:12:23to try this wine.
01:12:24No, girl.
01:12:25I'm not drinking
01:12:26tonight.
01:12:27Okay.
01:12:27I should focus
01:12:28on protecting you.
01:12:29I wouldn't
01:12:30forgive myself
01:12:31if something
01:12:31happened to you
01:12:32like last time.
01:12:34Definitely
01:12:34Nicholas
01:12:35wouldn't forgive me.
01:12:36Are you
01:12:37afraid of them?
01:12:39Aren't you?
01:12:42I heard

01:14:20why do you need
01:14:21to hide?
01:14:22Aren't you the same size?
01:14:23Stop asking questions.
01:14:41I had no idea
01:14:42he was this handsome.
01:14:43He makes Simon
01:14:44look like a little boy.
01:14:46Time to make my move.
01:14:49I promise
01:14:50I'd never lie
01:14:51to him again.
01:14:52If he finds out
01:14:53I snuck in here.
01:15:00Mr. Clipper,
01:15:02thank you
01:15:03so, so much
01:15:04for inviting me
01:15:05to this

01:15:10how impressive you are?
01:15:11So young
01:15:12and yet
01:15:13so successful.
01:15:15Where are my manners?
01:15:17Would you like
01:15:17to dance with me?
01:15:25No.
01:15:26Well, this isn't so
01:15:27long as that
01:15:27thing for me
01:15:28about Mary.
01:15:29He wants me
01:15:29a thousand
01:15:30I want
01:15:30all his interest
01:15:31to do.
01:15:32If you're actually
01:15:33considering sliding
01:15:34my name to your father
01:15:35then you can forget it.
01:15:38I do wish
01:15:39you'd reconsider.
01:15:41Please,
01:15:42Mr. Clipper.
01:15:44You know,
01:15:46I don't fall
01:15:47for many guys.
01:15:48But you
01:15:49are really,
01:15:51really attractive.
01:15:53Why don't you
01:15:53and me?
01:15:55I already have
01:15:55a girlfriend.
01:15:57And you're
01:15:57nothing like her.
01:15:59The great
01:16:00Clipper has
01:16:00a girlfriend.
01:16:01And I hate
01:16:02that smell
01:16:03that you're wearing.
01:16:03It makes me sick.
01:16:04Get her out of here.
01:16:13Please.
01:16:15You can't
01:16:15do this to me.
01:16:16I can change.
01:16:17I'd do
01:16:17anything for you.
01:16:19Well,
01:16:20she really
01:16:20kicked Simon
01:16:21through the car.
01:16:23Dad!
01:16:24Dad!
01:16:26Stop,
01:16:27Mr. Clipper.
01:16:28Tracy
01:16:29meant no harm.
01:16:30Tonight
01:16:31is a business night
01:16:33gathered here
01:16:34for mutual
01:16:35cooperation.
01:16:36Can you let
01:16:37this slide?
01:16:38Consider it,
01:16:39please.
01:16:40Fine.
01:16:42But get your daughter
01:16:43out of my sight.
01:16:44Your smell makes me sick.
01:16:47It's my smell makes it feel sick.
01:16:49But there's someone else here
01:16:50that should be kept away from you.
01:16:54I want you to look up there.
01:16:56You're wearing the same perfume as me.
01:16:58You really are trying so hard to be me, aren't you?
01:17:01She has no status,
01:17:03no background,
01:17:04and probably snarkingly
01:17:05on somebody else's
01:17:06imitation.
01:17:08Don't you want
01:17:09her thrown out as well?
01:17:16I'm so dead.
01:17:37You're the black doctor,
01:17:38Mr. Vibber.
01:17:39We can explain it.
01:17:40What perfume,
01:17:41we didn't know.
01:17:42You have no perfect closet.
01:17:44I was really upset about the perfume,
01:17:46right?
01:17:46I was really upset about the perfume.
01:17:47Turn around.
01:17:50Don't make it any harder than it is.
01:17:55It looks like
01:17:56a woman is going to be thrown out.
01:18:03You look absolutely beautiful.
01:18:06And you smell
01:18:09absolutely intoxicated.
01:18:15Mr. Clipper,
01:18:17I thought you said
01:18:17you hate that perfume smell.
01:18:19He hates it when women
01:18:20throw themselves at him.
01:18:22And he's holding
01:18:22that bitch's hand.
01:18:23You came all this way here.
01:18:26Why are you hiding from me?
01:18:27I heard that
01:18:29Clipper was holding
01:18:30an event.
01:18:31I just wanted to
01:18:32see what he looks like.
01:18:34Didn't see enough at home?
01:18:36Guess I'm not
01:18:36satisfying
01:18:37Miss Blanchette enough.
01:18:39I'm sorry I lied,
01:18:40but I can explain.
01:18:43Please,
01:18:43don't be mad at me.
01:18:45What if I wasn't Clipper?
01:18:47You'd be here
01:18:48seeing somebody else.
01:18:49But you are Clipper.
01:18:53I'm sorry.
01:18:55I forgive you.
01:18:58Go wait in the exhibit hall
01:18:59and see what's going on there.
01:19:05I'm sorry.
01:19:07I'm sorry.
01:19:08I'm sorry.
01:19:14There's several porcelain pieces
01:19:16from the Napoleonic era.
01:19:19It's irreplaceable.
01:19:21Ella,
01:19:21how could you?
01:19:22Do you have any idea
01:19:23how precious that piece was?
01:19:25Can you even afford
01:19:26to pay it back?
01:19:27It was worth the fortune.
01:19:30What's going on here?
01:19:32Mr. Clipper,
01:19:33Ella broke
01:19:34one of your porcelain pieces.
01:19:36She clearly has no respect
01:19:37for this event
01:19:38or you,
01:19:39for that matter.
01:19:40What if she's here
01:19:41to steal your stuff?
01:19:59That was Billy.
01:20:00Oh my goodness.
01:20:02Anyone here good at math?
01:20:05Can you tell me
01:20:05how much that was worth?
01:20:07Good to hear you.
01:20:09Good.
01:20:11There's damages.
01:20:12They're on you.
01:20:14You heard the full amount.
01:20:15Pay the numbers.
01:20:17Me?
01:20:18Mr. Clipper,
01:20:19you broke those
01:20:20by yourself.
01:20:21Everybody saw you.
01:20:26I'm just following
01:20:28your example.
01:20:29Everyone tell me
01:20:30who broke
01:20:31the artifact.
01:20:32Her.
01:20:33Yeah,
01:20:34it was her.
01:20:35You broke the porcelain
01:20:36and framed her.
01:20:37If you're so keen
01:20:38on manipulating people,
01:20:39then why can't I?
01:20:40And just so we're clear,
01:20:42my entire collection
01:20:43has been gifted
01:20:44to Ella.
01:20:45Whether she wants
01:20:46to cherish them,
01:20:47break them,
01:20:48or burn them.
01:20:51That'll be nothing
01:20:51to do with you.
01:20:52You gave them all to her?
01:20:54She has a problem
01:20:55with that.
01:20:56Why is he protecting
01:20:57her all the time?
01:20:59Mr. Clipper,
01:21:00I'm sorry.
01:21:01Apologize to the man now.
01:21:02She should be
01:21:03apologizing to Ella.
01:21:07Sorry, Ella.
01:21:08Will you forgive
01:21:09my daughter,
01:21:10please?
01:21:18Sorry.
01:21:20For what?
01:21:24I broke the porcelain.
01:21:25I shouldn't have
01:21:26firmed you.
01:21:27Then it's settled,
01:21:28Mr. White.
01:21:29The full compensation
01:21:29to be paid
01:21:30for the broken items.
01:21:31Of course.
01:21:32Of course.
01:21:33Dad!
01:21:34Shut up!
01:21:36Embarrassment you are.
01:21:38It's going to come
01:21:39out of your inheritance.
01:21:41We have to sell
01:21:42the yachts.
01:21:43Both of them?
01:21:45Shut up!
01:21:45No!
01:21:46Come on!
01:21:49Well, now we've
01:21:50settled that little matter,
01:21:51I have a more
01:21:52important question to ask.
01:22:07Will you marry me?
01:22:09My dear, Ella.
01:22:15Yes, I will.
