Original subtitles

Nervous? I haven't even started yet.

This pool water isn't as soft as your body.

Tonight, you belong to me.

Damn it!

How could I dream about that psycho?

And you finally pick up? Get to the point, Mother.

What? A multi-car clash?

Yes. Vanessa's car was totaled. The doctor says she has a concussion and

memory loss.

Get to the hospital now and check on her.

Your Uncle William and I are stranded in London by the storm. You need to keep an

eye on her. You want me to go play nurse to that lunaturk?

Why didn't she just die in the crash?

I've been waiting for this dinner for a long time.

Who said you could touch her?

Hey!

Daphne! Let him go! What are you doing?

Bad girl.

You've been naughty again.

Sneaking around with trash like this behind my back.

That's the 99th guy you've scared off. I'm straight. I like men. When is your

sick, controlling obsession going to end? I like you untouched, clean, and

pure. I hate you!

I really wish that crash had killed you outright.

Daphne, what did you say?

Nothing.

No problem, Mother. I'll take good care of my dear aunt.

Brain damage?

Perfect. Now it's my turn to set the rules.

Vanessa, I can't wait to see your face when you realize you've fallen for your

straight niece.

The severe impact to her brain caused temporary amnesia. She might forget

board operations, business rivals, even her most core memories.

Who are you?

Shit, she really did mess up her brain.

Vanessa, don't joke like that. It's me, Daphne.

Little girlfriend?

Wait, why isn't she following the script?

In my head, there's a faint, vague impression.

Yes!

We've been together for three whole years. Because on paper, you're my aunt,

and the family would never allow it, so we've had to keep it secret.

We can't see the light of day.

Are you sure?

Her pressure hasn't changed one bit.

No, Ethan said she's amnesiac. This time I'm going to trample back every bit of

dignity I lost.

Since we're lovers, then kiss me.

What? Weren't you just claiming you're my woman?

Prove it.

Taste bad?

That was my first kiss!

Are you crazy?! That was my first kiss!

Dammit, this is totally out of control!

Miss Vanessa, this is your final checkup. After this, you can be

discharged.

I'm going to get some hot coffee!

First kiss, two years apart, and this little fool still can't take a tease.

Boss, the old board members really think you've lost your memory. They're

colluding, ready to launch an impeachment any time. Stick to the plan.

Keep quiet until we close the clothes net. Let them jump.

Miss Daphne keeps pushing our bodyguards away.

She's too vulnerable alone.

Have the doctor tell that old woman that I need Daphne as an emotional anchor by

my side.

And use her to flush out those rats from the conforiation.

If you use her to stay, her strength will pride.

She'll probably hate you even more.

I just need her alive.

Vanessa is a complete devil.

Even with a dent in her brain, she can still pin me down and humiliate at me.

Mother? The doctor just called me. I heard Vanessa thinks you're her little

girlfriend. Now all those old foxes in the consortment are eyeing her position.

You have to use that identity to keep her stable.

No screw-ups.

Are you kidding me? She's my aunt on paper! And I'm straight. What about my

dignity? Don't talk to me about your pride.

You're both women and not a drop of blood related.

Family interests come above all. This is just an act.

Use your body to keep her in line.

If you help the family get through this, I'll sign you a check for independent

funds immediately, and you can do whatever you want.

Fine. But you'd best to remember your promise today.

It doesn't matter.

Seattle's rainy nights are long, and I have all the time to wait for you to

admit it.

I'm still sick.

As my girlfriend, are you really willing to lay a hand on me now?

Why'd you stop swinging?

Boss. A few rats from the consortium were lurking outside the Iron Gate,

already taken care of. Let her catch on.

Woo!

Wash it clean.

Remember, hand wash only.

Fuck you!

Damn control freak.

You really treat me like a free maid, huh?

When you come to your senses, I'll shove this rag right down your throat!

Crazy woman.

Has she been stalking me all these years?

You never lost your memory at all, did you?

Watching me get humiliated like a clown by you, does that make you happy?

What the hell is wrong with you? Let go of me! The doctor says I'm fully

recovered. Let's go back to the room.

I don't want to wait another second. Stop pretending!

We're not even... Don't talk to me about your pride.

You're both women and not a drop of blood related. Just help the family get

through this.

And I'll sign you that independent fund check immediately.

Use your body to keep her in line.

Not what?

Weren't you the one claiming to be my girlfriend?

Or have you been lying to me all along?

Since you came to me willingly, from now on...

Even your breathing needs my permission.

Vanessa,

are you insane?

What do you want from me?

Nothing. I just want to relive the feeling my little girlfriend gave me.

You've been playing me from the start?

You never lost your memory.

What memory?

I'm just curious.

Since you're my girlfriend, have we ever done it before?

You are a complete and utter lunatic.

You want to know?

Dream on. I'd rather die than let you touch me.

What happened to all that fighting spirit?

You were so tough a moment ago.

You'd better kill me right now, because I swear I'll make you regret this.

Get down! Don't move!

You're bleeding.

Shut up.

Say one more word and I'll throw you out as a bullet shield.

She could have used me as a shield.

Why did she protect me?

You're losing too much blood.

If you die, my mother's check is as good as gone.

Good. Looks like you're already settling into your new role.

Boss, the wound is all cleaned up.

No strenuous activity, and absolutely no water contact for the time being. Got

it. Get out.

Starting today, you move into the master bedroom.

The doctor said I can't get wet and can't overexert myself.

As my girlfriend, you'll be on 24-hour intimate care duty.

In your dreams.

I'd rather sleep in the basement than share a bed with a psycho like you.

I'll do the intimate care.

But I have one condition.

You think you're in a position to bargain?

Tonight, at Arthur's Cruise Charity Gala, I want to stand by your side,

openly and officially, as your girlfriend.

You want to use my influence to take down those oldies?

Since I'm doomed to be tied to your shiship anyway, I might as well collect

some interest.

What's wrong?

The Mighty Consortium boss afraid I'll embarrass you?

Sign it.

From now on, you're my officially recognized soft spot.

You all want to use me and treat me like a pawn you can push around.

Then let's see who's the real prey tonight.

Vanessa.

I heard Seattle's rainy roads were slippery last night and you had a little

accident? Still able to make it to gala. I have to admire your grit. Uncle

Arthur, your information is way out of date. That wasn't a slippery road last

night. It was a few stray dogs that ran into our car.

But don't worry, Vanessa already had those dogs skinned and fed to the fish.

I wonder if the owners who set those dogs loose are now hiding under their

blankets, trembling?

Daphne, since when does a little trip who slept her way up gets to interrupt

the elders?

Victoria really raised you poorly, turned you into nothing but a high-class

whore begging for scraps.

You little bitch!

You old follow! Who the hell do you think you are to lecture me?

Darling, he called me a whore. That's a slap to your face, too.

You never even raise your voice at me, so how dare he?

Arthur, whichever hand you raise that cane with, have it delivered to my

office by tomorrow amputated. Otherwise, I'll come collect it myself.

The act is over.

That slap counts as my rent for the night.

Do you have any idea how much the way you protected me just now makes me want

to chain you to my bed for good?

My little rebellion didn't intimidate her all. If anything, it just lit her

up.

Vanessa is a total maniac.

The more I resist, the more excited she gets.

Boss, change of plans.

Vanessa brought over 30 top bodyguards tonight.

We can't get anywhere near her.

Idiots! Who told you to go after Vanessa?

Go after the woman in the red dress?

Vanessa made a public show of protecting her, didn't she? Grab that dune and cut

off a kirk and send it over.

I want to see if Vanessa really snubbery and turned srat, or she just used this

druid as a shield.

Sign it.

From now on, you're my officially recognized soft spot.

She knew all along Arthur would come after me. She deliberately put me in the

spotlight, deliberately made me provoke Arthur just to use me as bait to flush

out those assassins.

You used me as eight?

You've been manipulating me the whole time!

You wanted to use my power, didn't you?

This is the price you pay.

The price?! The price is my life?! You heartless monster!

I will never play your sick game again!

Walk out that door, and Arthur's men will tear you apart within seconds. You

think your little tricks can get you off this ship alive?

Vanessa, I'd rather die out there than look at you one more second.

Where are you running?

Mr. Arthur just wants to borrow one of your fingers.

Who

said

you could touch her?

Come here.

What are you doing? Let me go!

Pull the trigger.

Kill him or be killed.

In this game, there is no third option.

I can't! I'm scared!

I'll teach you.

Now we share the same sin, Daphne.

We will never escape my grasp for the rest of your life.

The one who wanted me dead is my own mother.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Ethan is waiting for you on deck. Clean yourself up before you see me again.

Is the gala over? Did Arthur get any read on Vanessa's true condition?

Mother, there were assassins on the ship. They almost cut off my fingers.

They were carrying your emblem.

You sold my location and the ship's security flout to Arthur, didn't you?

I needed to test whether Vanessa really lost her memory, and I needed that 5% of

the consortium shares he was holding. You're my daughter. What's wrong with

contributing a little to the family?

Contributing? Those killers were really going to chop off my hand. You threw

your own daughter to Arthur and made 5% of shares?

What if Vanessa hadn't saved me? But she did, didn't she? And it proved you're

very useful.

Now listen to me. Vanessa holds the consortium reins, and Arthur wants to

bring her down. Our family is caught in the middle, and we have to hedge our

bets. You keep using Vanessa's obsession with you to hold her steady, and stop

bothering me with this trivial scare!

In my own mother's eyes, I'm not even worth a life. Just a piece of meat to

throw out and test the consortium's waters.

Fine. Since you see me as a bargaining chip, don't blame me for flipping your

table.

What? Gunfire scared you wide awake so you came running for comfort?

Victoria's been playing both sides with me. She had me climb into your bed to

feed her consortium secrets, and then sold my life to Arthur in exchange for

his shares.

Don't you like keeping me chained to you? Don't you want to purge Arthur and

his old guard? Help me. Give me the knife. I'll tear out every spy Victoria

planted, and I'll take down Arthur for you. As long as they pay, my whole self

and my life are yours.

Give me your life.

Daphne, I have a big appetite.

I don't just want your body.

I want your absolute obedience.

Tomorrow morning, there are three of Victoria's spies in this estate.

I want you to pull them out yourself. Let me see if you actually dare to bite.

Stop. Miss Daphne, what are your orders?

Go back and tell Victoria that if she thinks she can use my intel to curry

favor with Arthur, she's not worthy.

What right do you have to detain us? We're Madame Victoria's people!

If you touch us, she'll make you pay!

Madame Victoria doesn't know you're here, and by the time she finds out,

you'll have already told me everything I need to know.

You think I don't know what you've been up to? Victoria told you to watch me,

but you double-dripped and sold my escape route straight to Arthur's

assassins. Madame gave the nod!

She said as long as Arthur's men didn't kill you, a few, a few injuries would

only make Vanessa more protective.

We were just following orders!

Break both their hands and throw them out of Seattle. Tell the streets that

anyone who takes them in is crossing me.

Boss,

Miss Daphne's methods are even harsher than when you cleansed the consortium

back then. Are you sure it's not too risky to hand her full security control

of the estate?

Risky? I've been waiting for this day for two full years. She finally sees her

mother for what she is. Now she's my accomplice.

Three spies, all cleanly removed.

Well done.

As a reward, let me show you something.

The preliminary investigation report on the yacht accident two years ago.

Take a look and see just how cold-cold your prophet-up's mother really is.

Who is this man? Someone you never should have met.

Marcus.

Arthur's most trusted dog.

But he also has a more secret identity.

Your mother Victoria's secret lover for the past five years.

Marcus snuck onto the yacht for my confidential files.

Caught red-handed, He pushed you overboard.

Victoria knew the truth, yet she covered it up to shield her lover and her secret

tie with Arthur, claiming it was an accidental fall.

For a lover?

For a connection to Arthur? She just watched me almost drown?

She wouldn't even speak a word of justice for me? This is the family love

you've always craved.

In their eyes, your life is worth less than a consortium share.

Why cry?

You have me now.

I'll make you drive the Nine-Knife into their hearts yourself.

I don't need pity.

I want Marcus dead.

I want Victoria stripped of the power and money she cares about most.

Arthur's mad!

Let me go!

Well, well.

If it isn't Victoria's little rut.

What, Vanessa dumped you so you come running to me?

Your mother still needs me to put in a good word with Arthur?

Two years ago on that yacht, when you pushed me into the sea, which hand did

you use?

Daphne! You're insane!

Victoria is your own mother! I'm her man!

She'll never let you get away with this!

Marcus, what's this late call about? Does Arthur have new instructions?

Mother, good evening.

Your lover kneels at my feet.

Just so you know, I've had Vanessa freeze every overseas share you bartered

me to Arthur.

Daphne, you dare touch my money? Do you have a death wish?

This is just the beginning.

You traded my life for chips, so I'm flipping your table.

Break his other leg, too, and dump him along with the frozen ledgers at

Arthur's front door.

I heard you took out both of Marcus's legs and cut off Victoria's escape

route. That old Falk Arthur must be furious after receiving that gift.

Isn't that exactly what you wanted? I played by your rules.

You did well.

But you seem to have forgotten I'm the one who sets the rules of this game.

You pledged your loyalty to me, killed using my blade.

Now?

It's time to collect my interest.

Answer it.

Speaker. Daphne, I received those two useless legs you sent back.

You've got a lot more backbone than your idiot mother.

Arthur, you call it this hour just to praise me? I'm here to show you a way

out. You really think Vanessa protects you out of love? She's just using you to

purge us old-timers.

Once she's fully in control...

A plaything without backing like you will end up worse than Marcus.

Tomorrow at 10, the Consortium board meeting. If you stand up and testify

that Vanessa is mentally unstable and violently abusing you, I guarantee the 5

% of shares under Victoria's name will be transferred to you immediately.

5% of Consortium shares would give me absolute say in the group. I'd never

have to bow to anyone again.

If you refuse, the true cause of your father's car accident years ago might

just turn into a pile of shredding.

Choose wisely.

Five percent of consortium shares, plus the truth about your father's death.

What a tempting offer.

Will you betray me, my little accomplice?

I'll find out the truth about my father myself.

As for Arthur's shares, I'm taking his life along with them.

Remember what you said tonight.

Tomorrow, don't disappoint me.

Vanessa, I hear you've been unwell lately, can't even leave your estate.

A big ship like this conforation, you with a concussion after effect, you sure

you can hold the wheel? Arthur, get to the point. I don't have time for your

bullshit.

Ladies and gentlemen, I stand here to today as a heartbroken mother.

Vanessa is not only mentally unstable, she has also legally deranged my

daughter Daphne by violent means.

She drugged Daphne into submission, forced her to cripple Marcus, and even

froze my legitimate accounts.

I request this board to immediately remove Vanessa from her position as CEO

and commit Daphne to a psychiatric facility for treatment.

To take down Vanessa.

For the profit Arthur promised, my own mother only tramples me into the mud.

She's branding me insane, destroying my entire life.

She's testing me. If I can't even handle my own mother's betrayal, I don't

deserve to stand by her side.

Mother, it's a crime you're not in Hollywood winning Oscars.

Since Mother says I'm insane, let's hear who the real madman is.

It was Victoria!

She told me to pretend to steal secrets and push you into the sea! She and Mr.

Arthur have been colluding all along!

She needed your death to trigger a reward between Arthur and Vanessa!

She said as long as you were dead, Arthur would give her 5% of consortium

shares as a reward!

Fabricated! Vanessa forced you to do this, didn't she?

Fabricated? Marcus' transfer records, your overseas hotel check-ins, and even

Arthur's offshore account payments to him, all in this file.

Arthur, ordering the murder of a consortium direct relative, I'm sure the

police department would be very interested in that.

You little bitch!

Arthur, you're old. Time to retire. I want your share transfer documents on my

desk in half an hour. Otherwise, the FBI outside will take you away directly.

As for you, Victoria, as of today, you're expelled from the family.

All your trust funds are transferred to Daphne.

I just sent my own mother to hell with my own hands.

What? Having second thoughts?

Second thoughts?

I just wish I'd seen her true face sooner.

The way you bit back in that meeting today.

Beautiful. In this world, I have nothing left, except this mad woman who dragged

me into the abyss, yet is the only one who protects me.

Go to my desk.

Left drawer, first one.

There's something in there you need. Consider it your reward.

Vanessa didn't just use my hand to cleanse the board. She handed me the

biggest victory prize, without reservation.

I knew this cuttin'. It's the one I tore off Marcus' jacket when he pushed me

into the sea two years ago.

When I woke up back then, the button in my hand was gone.

Just look at how cold-blooded that mother of yours is, the one who'd stop

at nothing for profit. Two years ago, she knew everything two years ago. She

held all the evidence, knew Victoria and Marcus wanted me dead, but she said

nothing. She watched me live in fear at Victoria's side for two years, watched

me get sent onto that cruise ship as bait.

Wanted me dead. You watched me grovel and tremble before her like a fool.

Watched me almost get my fingers cut off on that cruise ship.

Deliberately pushed me to the edge.

Just so I'd have nowhere left to go and crawl to you like a dog, didn't you?

Yes.

If I hadn't done that, how would you have seen those vampires for what they

are? How would you have given your life to me willingly?

Leaving?

Where do you think you can go from the moment you signed that contract?

From the moment you pulled that trigger? From the moment you took that 5%?

Every inch of your blood and bone bears my mark.

You will rot in my arms for the rest of your life.

The boss ordered that you're not to step one foot outside this room until you've

calmed down. Not only did I fail to escape Victoria's cage, I fell into a

deeper, more terrifying abyss.

This is a spare phone I hid a while ago.

Frank, it's me. You helped me look into my father's accident two years ago.

I need you to contact the police right now. I want to report an illegal

detention.

Miss Daphne, please don't put me in this position. When you asked me to look into

your father's crash two years ago, Mrs. Vanessa's people came to me the very

next day.

Every lead you saw, I was authorized to feed it to you.

Every escape route, every outside alley I had was under Vanessa's watch from the

very start.

Miss Daphne, time for breakfast. The boss said if you refuse to eat, she

doesn't mind coming back tonight to feed you personally.

The real reason your dad had that car accident back then will probably just

end up as a bunch of scrap paper.

Head on, I'll never beat this madwoman.

To uncover the truth about my father's death, to truly win back my freedom, I

have to be crazier and better at acting than she is.

Tell Vanessa I've calmed down.

Tonight, I'll be waiting for her.

How long did she throw her tantrum today? How many things did she break?

Miss Daphne had her milk this morning and has been quiet ever since. She even

cooked soup for you herself.

You're back.

Does your right shoulder still hurt? What game are you playing now?

Last night you wanted to kill me, and tonight you're the perfect little

housewife? I tried running.

I tried calling for help.

But I realized I can't get out of your grip, since I'm destined to be your

prey. I surrender.

I have no one but you, Vanessa.

Surrender? Good.

Then prove to me how obedient you can be.

I will.

Miss Daphne, someone's using offshore short accounts to dump our consortium's

retail shares, trying to create panic and short the stock.

We trace the funds. It's Madam Victoria's hidden account.

Help the family survive this crisis, and I'll cut your independent fund check

immediately.

She actually thinks that blank check of hers can save her.

Cool. All the capital Vanessa gave me authority on.

Whatever she dumps, we buy.

Force the stock price up 30 points.

I want her margin called every last penny gone.

She's blown!

Margin completely wiped out! Her account's been force-liquidated!

Daphne, you animal, you short me! That was my entire life savings! Mother, two

years ago you sold my life for 5% of shares. Today I'm using all your savings

to buy out the last drop of blood between us.

You think Vanessa will keep you forever?

You're just a toy! She'll throw you away like garbage sooner or later!

That's none of your concern anymore.

Enjoy the rest of your life in the slums.

This was just a live drill.

I finally built my first team inside the consortium.

Loyal only to me.

Beautiful work.

The way you ran that trading floor today, you look like a true queen. I

learned from the best.

Without your capital authorization, I couldn't have done a thing.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Vanessa's highest level key card should be in the inside pocket of her suit

jacket.

The one who killed my father?

Is Vanessa's father?

What's my little kitten looking for in the middle of the night?

Stay back!

It was your father who killed my father! You knew all along! You kept me around

like a fool. Was it to atone for him, or to watch the daughter of your enemy

grovel beneath you?

I warned you, don't touch my boundaries.

Ethan, bring the team up. Revoke all of Daphne's financial authorizations and

security command privileges.

What are you doing?

Are you going to kill me? Kill you?

That's too easy.

Since you love digging up the truth so much, spend some time in the dark

reflecting on exactly whose prey you are.

Vanessa! You liar!

I hate you!

Lock her in the estate's underground safe room. No one releases her without

my order.

I thought I'd flip the table and become the chess player. Turns out, in

Vanessa's eyes, I just moved from a bigger cage to this metal box with no

light at all.

I thought this was my prison.

But it was a fortress she built with her own flesh and blood.

She turned herself into a mad woman just to take every bullet meant for me.

Vanessa, Mr. Arthur says if you hand over the woman inside, he'll let you

keep your corpse in one piece.

Your men are all dead. Stop pretending.

On her?

Step over my dead body.

Well, little niece, here we are again.

Vanessa!

Arthur, let her go.

The Calorian keys, the shares, I'll give you everything.

Just let her go.

Let her go? You think I don't know you've been playing the sick lesbian for

two years, keeping her locked at your side just to stop me from wiping out the

bloodline? You want to know how your father died?

I'll tell you.

Your father tried to sell the consortium's core secrets to the Russian

mafia. William killed him himself to protect the entire family. He cleaned

house.

According to consortium rules, all family of traitors must be executed.

Vanessa knelt before the board and traded half her shares for your life.

She even deliberately made you her favorite little toy, locked you in the

estate just to keep you from getting assassinated. Why are you so stupid? Why

didn't you tell me anything?

Because I didn't want you to live with guilt. I just wanted you to live

cleanly. How touching.

Then go be tragic lovers in hell.

Don't be scared. In my pocket, there's a gun.

Live.

Get rid of this one, too. Burn the estate.

Don't kill me!

Daphne, I'll give you all the shares!

Go to hell and repent, my woman.

Miss Daphne, the boss.

Lock down your private hospital in Seattle. Get the best surgeons. If she

dies, every single one of you will be buried with her.

Send word to the board. Effective immediately, I'm taking over the

consorferation. Anyone who obsagues, Arthur is their example.
