In family business succession, individuals have the right to make their own decisions about their future, even when those decisions conflict with family expectations or business arrangements. Personal agency and autonomy are essential components of healthy family dynamics, and individuals should be empowered to choose their own paths rather than being forced into predetermined roles or relationships.

“No Escape From Me.” Mafia Heiress Became Queen… Her Dangerous Bodyguard Broke Her Engagement
Added:Hello.
All right, fine, Dad. I'll take care of it.
[ __ ] I hate responsibilities.
Why can't people just forget about me for a while?
What? I only have an hour to get ready?
Are you [ __ ] serious?
No [ __ ] way.
Come in.
What's up, Liz? Are you going somewhere?
Your dad asked me to make sure you don't leave the house, especially at night.
>> What if I do?
>> Well, I'll have to inform your father.
>> Oh, really?
Liz, you see this? This is premium. One of the seven bottles in the world.
[music] Come on, take it.
I gotta go now. Okay.
Why is dad calling me on the plane?
Hello.
[music] What?
>> [snorts] [gasps] [sighs] >> Mom, Dad, you both left me alone here.
>> [sighs and gasps] >> How am I supposed to live a life without you too?
So now everyone pies me.
[snorts] I'm coming.
It's time again.
Dad, at least you're with mom now.
I think you like to be with mom more than me.
Leah Ryan, why are you here?
Is it just for the formality?
I mean, don't want to hear sorry and take care [snorts] and god knows what. I just I'm done hearing all this >> came from burying my father, too.
>> I'm so sorry for your dad. I totally forgot David was also in the plane crash.
>> It's okay.
He was never really a guy that people remembered too often.
>> Don't say that.
David will be remembered. He he served dad since we were teenagers.
[sighs] He was a really kind man.
He was my savior from dad at times.
By the way, when are you going back?
>> We just finished burying them.
>> No, no. I mean, you cut a job, right?
And they're both gone, so What's the point of staying here anyway?
>> You haven't changed a bit.
>> Is the problem.
>> Anyway, I got to go now. Bye.
>> Leah, your father hired me for you.
Bodyguard.
My bodyguard.
Are you [ __ ] kidding me? Oh my god.
You must have forgotten how much I hated Ryan. I mean, we never got along, Liz.
Listen, I do understand, but we need someone to keep you safe. I don't want a man guarding me all day. I'm not a kid.
Okay, [gasps] I agree with you. And you are as brave as your father, but you also might be in danger. You know, [ __ ] What danger are you talking about? Talk some senseless. Just ask him to go back. I don't want him anymore. That's that's that's just that's just not acceptable.
Actually, he can't go back. What do you mean? It was your father's last order to us. He wants someone to protect you.
Someone who you know.
>> You must be kidding me. Ray, >> I'm not.
[sighs] Listen carefully, Liz. You have no idea how hard I tried to get rid of this [ __ ] man.
Dad always tried to brag about his academic performance when I was a kid, and I just can't handle it. I don't want him in my life cuz he's going to be a pain in the ass. Do you understand?
All right, I'll ask him to leave. Yeah, please.
Come in.
>> Are you ready, ma'am?
>> You ma'am, I understand your self-determination, but you're in a very different position right now. You need [clears throat] a proper security, and you cannot go outside without a bodyguard. Let's not argue about it.
>> I thought I had the final word in this house. Yes, you can give us orders, but there are some things you need to learn about. I mean, you're taking over your father's business now, and there are some things you're not going to like, but you'll have to do them as a necessity. And once you get settled, things can be better.
>> Fine, whatever.
Get a car ready. Right away, >> I know you don't like me much, but I want to let you know that I'm going to take this responsibility very seriously.
You're not allowed to get personal with me. Know your [music] place.
>> I hear you, ma'am.
>> You're coughing, man.
>> Thanks, Liz. I was going to pass out.
Ryan, do you want anything? Oh, he's on duty. Okay, I have to run some errands now. Let me know if you need anything.
I'll be one follow away. Okay, sure.
Thanks.
This new rule of being a boss is way harder than I thought.
Oh, by the way, I was thinking, why are you so desperate for this job? I mean, I thought you were getting enough pay from the previous one.
Excuse me.
I'm talking to you. Hello.
>> I thought we weren't going to talk about our personal lives.
>> Yeah, but I can ask you a question about your current or previous job, right?
Come on, Ryan.
Say that. I'll pay you better.
>> Actually, you don't.
I make much less here than I did at my previous job.
I'm only here to honor your father's last words.
>> What words?
>> To take care of it.
Everyone hate it when I pamper myself.
Hello.
What right now?
No way. Oh my god.
All right, got it.
[ __ ] [ __ ] Where the [ __ ] is the ring?
I put it should be somewhere.
>> [music] >> Ryan, >> what's wrong?
>> Um, help me find my ring.
>> What?
>> Why are you standing here? Come on, find my ring.
[music] Should [music] be somewhere around here.
[music] Is this it?
What's all this craziness over just a ring? the engagement ring.
Who is you?
You new here?
Damn. What job they got you doing? You look stressed as hell.
[clears throat] Leah. Leah, get over here, my baby. Come on. Come on. Bring him. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down.
Look, uh, I'm real sorry about your daddy. I mean, I would have went to his funeral, but busy man got to do busy things. You know what I'm saying? It would have been nice to see my father-in-law one more time, though.
You doing all right? [music] >> Yeah, I'm all good.
Who's he?
>> Just a servant.
>> Yeah.
>> So, tell me, Leah, [music] who's in charge of the business these days?
>> I am. [laughter] >> You funny. Tell me who's in charge of the business these days.
>> Okay. You know, I'm not kidding, Michael.
I am in charge.
>> Leo. Leo. Leo. Women like you was good for two things. One, getting drunk. Two, twerking on a homie once you drunk. You know what I'm talking about?
>> Whatever.
>> Leave the business to the big men. The one with the real nice [ __ ] like me.
>> As you know, I'm the only child in my family and I'm the only one who can inherit my father's wealth and power.
[music] >> What about me?
>> You I don't think you're taking it serious enough.
Leia, don't get me wrong. I trust my future wife.
>> Then lift the business to me.
Don't bother.
>> All right. All right. All right. In [clears throat] the end, it's ours anyways, ain't it?
>> You know, I came here for one reason, though.
Your daddy's been gone for a while now.
Funeral already done pass. When we getting married?
I mean, what we waiting for? What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?
Tell me. You could tell me anything.
>> I'll think about it.
>> All right. All right. You take your time there.
>> You know what? I'm pretty tired. I got to go take a nap.
>> Okay. You know, once we married and all, you can be taking naps with me. I'll get out of here, though. Give me some sugar.
Get off this place.
>> Okay. Okay. [laughter] I mean, there'll be a whole lot more time for that, won't there?
>> You should smile more.
>> Are you okay?
>> I am. I'm good.
You're not much of a good actor.
>> What?
>> Well, that guy is really disgusting. You can't possibly be considering to marry him.
>> Why don't you mind your own business?
[music] Thank you.
Well, I hope you get paid extra for all this coffee that you make.
>> Kind of.
>> Wow. [snorts] >> So, are you tired already? It's just a start.
>> Yeah. Well, standing and following Leah around all the time, it is a bit tiring.
>> What is it?
>> I'm just confused about something.
You know, I know I went away for a long time, but I never would have thought that a guy like Michael would be someone who Leah would choose to be with.
I don't like the guy.
>> Well, no one does. Not even Leah. It was her father.
He forced her to marry him.
>> But why?
Well, it's very common among businessmen. [clears throat] They use marriage as a tool to form better relations. And you know, Michael, he's a notorious guy. He has been divorced twice.
>> No way.
>> Well, he is quite old. I would be surprised if this was the first time he was getting married.
>> Yeah. Leash is like 15 years younger. No way.
>> But Leah has the power to decide now.
She could call off the engagement.
>> Oh, you know, it's not that easy to get rid of Michael.
>> So what? She should just sacrifice the rest of her life and be with this guy.
>> Well, we are not the ones to make the judgment.
>> But we can be.
>> Yes.
Are you ready, ma'am?
[clears throat] [snorts] I know you said that we can't discuss personal matters, but there's still something I want to ask you.
>> If it's about Michael, I'm not answering.
>> So, it is about Michael.
You know, it's really easy to judge, but I don't care.
>> Yes, it's easy to judge, but it's not easy to suffer.
You were always such a mean, bossy girl in my eyes. But you're so different now.
>> I guess I've changed for good, haven't I?
>> Look, people respect you, man. You're free to make your own decisions now. You deserve better. Trust me.
>> Your personal Q&A session is over now.
You're late for the meeting. Got to go.
>> Oh, by the way, [snorts] I hate when you call me ma'am.
>> So, what am I supposed to call you?
>> My name is Leah.
>> Dad, [sighs] I always wanted to make you proud.
I agreed to everything you said.
[snorts] I'm sorry, Liz. I wasn't sure if you have slept.
>> Yeah, something was bothering me.
I just made a piece of it. Can I ask you a question?
>> Sure.
Do you think I lose my confidence when I'm with Michael?
>> No.
>> Come on, be honest.
>> Actually, yes. I think that you are not the same person when you're with him.
>> So, do you think I should consider my marriage?
>> If you have thoughts, Oh, yeah.
>> [snorts] >> So, should I You know what?
I'm calling off this marriage.
So, why are you so quiet?
I mean, I thought you would be happy for me cuz you were always hostile towards Michael.
>> Well, yes, I am happy. And I [clears throat] never wanted you to marry that proof, but I'm afraid.
>> I mean, yeah, he's a powerful man, but it's better to just break the tie right now than wait any longer. Don't you think so?
>> Yeah, you're actually right. Uh, we can handle it.
>> Yeah, I actually want to thank you for being here for me and, you know, supporting me with all my decisions.
Thank you so much for recognition. But it was you who made this decision and decided to call it off.
>> I just felt it.
>> By the way, did you discuss Michael and I to Ryan?
>> I didn't. I just saw him that I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have.
>> I mean, it's fine. I think he really meant it when he said not to do so.
I'm really [music] tired. Got to go to bed. See you tomorrow.
Night.
Where were you just now?
>> Oh, I just had a couple things to take care of, that's all.
>> There's nothing more important than this job.
What did you say earlier?
>> What do you mean?
>> You know what I mean.
>> No, seriously.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
>> Did you talk to her about her and Michael?
>> Oh, that. Yeah.
Well, I just asked her a little bit about it, that's all.
>> But no one ever dared to talk about her and Michael. I've known her for a very long time, and I never dare to discuss her personal matters. Well, what are you jealous that she actually listened to me or something?
>> No. Why would I be jealous? I'm just wondering why she didn't get mad at you from bringing this up.
>> I don't know. It was on my mind and it bothered me, so I just said it, but she didn't seem to respond to anything I said.
>> Well, she has the answer now.
>> Well, what does that mean?
>> She's calling off her engagement.
>> What? Really?
That's unbelievable.
I mean, I didn't expect her to listen to anything I said, let alone something as big as this.
>> Well, you know, she was hesitant about this engagement from from the beginning, but now you assured her to call it off.
So, get ready. Your job is going to be hectic.
>> I'm looking forward to it.
Well, I hope you guys got some real good news for me. Tell me, Leah, when we get married, >> you can do this.
>> There is no date.
>> Oh. Oh, I get it. I get it. Cold feet. I understand. Well, I'll set the date. I don't think we can do Christmas.
>> I said there is no date [music] and there won't be a date ever.
>> I should have complimented your humor a long time ago.
I'm not joking, Michael. I'm calling off this engagement.
You heard that?
>> Oh, you ain't. Me and your daddy had an agreement.
>> It was not my decision from very beginning.
>> Child's play over, Leah. Your daddy promised me >> and his promise died with him. You hear that?
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
You think you can invite me here to insult me? Oh, >> come on. This is not an insult. This is my decision for a mutual benefit.
>> This game time's over.
If you don't keep your promise, I'm going to make your life a living hell.
>> Are you threatening me down there?
>> Take it as you want, but it's real time now. Why the [ __ ] did you bring your gun to my house?
>> To show you who the real man is.
>> Oh, really?
>> I don't intend to let you even use that thing.
What you've got [clears throat] back there?
[laughter] Oh, who told you to put that big ass note in our business?
>> He's my bodyguard, Michael. Oh, >> little girl has a bodyguard now, huh?
Well, if you was my bodyguard, I put a hole right through you.
I think we're done here. You should leave now.
>> All right. All right.
I'm going remember this. [sighs] And this [ __ ] ain't over. Who will remember what you said?
[sighs] >> Are you okay?
>> Yeah.
>> I'm good.
>> I just did that.
go away, Liz.
[snorts] I hate this. I can't deal with this anymore. [gasps] [sighs] Said, why didn't you say it was you?
You would have kicked me out then.
What's up? You look stressed. Find me an IT expert. I can't deal with this anymore. [sighs] >> Oh, by the way, what did you study back in college?
>> Business.
>> Really? Then I think I gave you the wrong job to do.
>> Not really.
>> Do you think you can deal with this?
Yeah, actually this looks pretty simple to do. Then work on it. Go ahead.
>> Do you need my help?
>> What is it?
>> Huh? Uh, >> well, you you keep looking at me. Uh, >> no. I was just checking if you can do all the stuff.
>> This stuff is like elementary school math to me.
>> That's why I always hated you. You don't miss a single chance to brag about yourself.
>> By the way, do you enjoy working on this stuff?
>> This stuff is what I did at my previous job.
>> Then I think you're wasting your talent here. Not really. I'm learning more than ever here.
>> You know what? I want to thank you for what you did today.
>> I'm just doing my job.
>> I know, but I just want to appreciate you for that.
Honestly, you look [ __ ] hot today.
>> And you look beautiful every day.
>> Excuse me. You can't say that to your boss.
Well, it looks like I'm off hour now.
>> So >> So what are we when I'm not on call?
>> Ryan.
>> Yeah.
>> Why are you driving? Where's the driver?
>> Uh, he called in sick today.
>> You should have called someone else's up.
>> Are you not comfortable with me driving?
>> No. It's just like you can't do everything.
>> Do you doubt my ability?
>> I don't doubt you, but I just feel like you shouldn't make yourself tired.
>> Don't worry, I'll be fine.
>> Do I also look hot when I'm driving?
>> That's why I hate you.
Can you stop staring at me?
>> Wait. Put your head down.
>> What?
>> Put your head down.
>> [ __ ] >> What the [ __ ] You just ran a red light.
>> Yeah, I'm trying to save your life.
>> Stay down.
God damn it. Pick up the call.
Hey, are you okay? Water. Water.
[sighs] >> [gasps and snorts] >> The moment I heard a bullet was fired at your car, I was hoping we get home safely.
>> Leah, are you sure you're okay?
Your heart's beating really fast. Do you need a doctor?
>> No, I'm fine.
>> You might step in as a doctor as well.
Is there something you can do? [snorts] >> I do.
I saw this coming.
Michael, you won't spur me to stop.
I will never come out of this.
Maybe I was too confident that day.
>> No, you did the right thing.
>> Look at me. I can't handle this kind of stress. [laughter and gasps] >> You don't have to handle anything. I'll deal with Michael.
>> [ __ ] kidding me. Do you even know Michael? He's way more powerful than all of us. It's not his first time trying to kill.
He won't stop until I'm dead.
>> What do you think I'm here for then?
>> I shouldn't have done this.
I should How am I going to live like this?
>> Don't cry.
[snorts] You don't have to worry about anything when I'm here. I'll protect you no matter what. Okay. Just [snorts] like today.
>> Are you off duty now?
>> Yeah. Why? I can stay if you need.
[snorts] >> Can you be my friend when you're off call?
>> Sure.
[laughter] [ __ ] The [ __ ] is this?
>> [sighs and gasps] >> You scared the hell out of me. Why are you here?
>> Just wanted to make sure you're okay.
>> Oh my god.
>> I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
It's just that Elizabeth, she asked me to come check on you.
>> That girl.
>> I know. I told her you wouldn't be comfortable, but you know she doesn't listen to me.
>> I mean, she doesn't listen to anyone, not even me.
Just tell her that you're uncomfortable with me intruding and I won't come back again. [sighs and gasps] >> I mean, I'm not going to lie.
>> Lie.
>> I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I can't feel safe.
>> Oh, >> but you need to act more discreetly cuz otherwise I'm going to punch you in the face. [sighs and gasps] >> I guess I should be more It looks so funny standing here. Why don't you sit with me?
>> I'm on duty and this is what I'm supposed to do. [sighs] >> Why don't you listen to me while I'm being nice to you?
>> That's an order.
[music] I asked him to sit with me.
But he's your >> Yeah, I know he's my bodyguard, but he's a human, too, right, Ryan?
>> Okay. Uh, we need extra security. Another patrolling car, and I'll hire more guards for you. I'll handle it.
>> Fine. [music] Help me with the recruitment and I'll make you the head of our security.
>> No, no, no. I mean, we don't need to hire anyone else. [music] I'm enough to protect her on my own.
[music] >> Can I come in?
>> Yeah, come in.
>> [snorts] >> I always thought you were into funky things and colorful rooms, but everything is so minimal here.
You remember those neon dresses you used to wear as a kid?
I really hated those. They were terrible.
>> Really?
[ __ ] >> What?
>> You're off duty now. [sighs] Otherwise, I could fire you for what you just said.
>> I'm sorry. I'm just being honest. You know, >> like a friend.
>> You know, I really hated it when you used to bring your test scores and show them to my dad.
You were really lucky. You went abroad cuz I was already planning to murder you. [snorts] >> I knew you hated me, but I didn't know you hated me that much.
>> I mean, you were really annoying at that time.
Anyway, I'm fine by myself here. When you're off duty, you can actually leave.
You don't have to be here.
>> Okay.
I never knew you two were this close to each other.
>> We weren't ever >> really h [clears throat] but the way she talks to you, it seems like you guys are friends.
>> We're trying to be at least. So, may I ask you what exactly happened back then?
>> Well, when I was younger, my dad used to bring me to the house often when he was on duty. And I spent most of my time just kind of sitting around. But one day, my father told Leah's dad that I'm a really good student. And so, for some reason, they thought it was a good idea to have me tutor her. You know, I think that's when she started to hate me because we know that she hates getting shown up and she definitely hates studying, too.
>> Oh, yeah. She does hate reading books.
[laughter] So, she's trying to be your friend now since you're not tutoring her anymore.
>> Yeah, that could be the reason.
>> Yeah, her father forced her to grow up.
>> Yeah, >> I guess so.
All right. Thanks for the wine.
But I need to get to sleep.
[snorts] [music] >> What happened?
>> The power is off.
>> Is this normal?
>> It never happened before.
>> [ __ ] Secure all the doors now.
>> [music] >> Leah. Leah. Leah, >> get out.
>> What's going on?
>> There's someone in the house.
>> You have to be quiet.
You're not safe. [snorts] >> Yeah.
>> What do you mean?
>> What do you mean someone's in the house?
>> You're right.
>> [panting and sighs] [gasps] >> You're in my house.
>> It's okay. I'm here.
>> Oh my god. Why are you going to kill me?
>> No, he won't. He's going to have to get past me first.
>> And that's not going to happen.
>> I mean, he's here.
Is he here?
>> Okay.
Okay. Thanks. Yeah.
Bye.
He confessed to being one of Michael's men.
You know, he's probably going to lose his leg.
Leah, it's going to be fine.
>> Don't lie to me. It's not going to be fine.
I would have been lying dead by now if you weren't there.
>> And I'll save you every time.
>> I can't allow you risk your life for me like this.
>> It's my job.
>> Believe it.
>> Why do you care so much? [sighs] Because because you are my friend, Ryan.
I've lost so many people in my life.
[sighs] It's a waste. It's a waste to live. [gasps] It's a waste to live at the expense of others.
[snorts] What happened? Are you guys all right?
Yeah, we're fine. What's the update?
>> We got the gunman. Currently, we're treating him for his leg wound.
[sighs] >> Michael sent him to shoot you.
>> You're acting as if I didn't know it already.
Michael won't stop until he gets his revenge. [snorts] >> We should retaliate.
>> No, we're not strong enough to respond.
If we do, it's going to be a [ __ ] show.
The So, what are we supposed to stay here forever hiding until they come here and actually kill us? Listen, we need to distract Michael so he's not focusing on us. Distract him? How do we do that?
Listen, he's angry for now, but I'm sure he going to forget it in a month or two so we can handle this in a peaceful way, >> you know.
>> So, what are you suggesting?
We need to put you in a safe place so they will not find you.
>> Nonsense.
>> No, I promise this plan will work. How the hell am I going to disappear into thin air? He's going to eventually find me. [gasps] There is no place that Michael doesn't have eye on. Even Dad's old farmous.
[sighs] >> I might have a place.
May I come in?
Do you need any help?
Do you really think this plan going to work? That's the best we got. I mean, what if Michael finds me in Ryan's house? I don't think it will.
Or what if Michael hurts Ryan?
>> Listen, Ryan knows what he's doing, you know?
>> Yeah, but he's willing to risk his life for me, and that's not fair. He's only doing his job, which is to protect you.
Just do as he says, and everything will be fine. He's going to find a way.
>> But I also don't want to leave my house.
>> I'll take care of it. I promise. Don't worry.
You know, Liz, I want to thank you for everything.
Do you think [sighs] you can handle everything by yourself alone here?
>> Oh, I'm fine. I promise you I'm not wanted.
Oh, so you're a normal guy now.
>> It's time to go now.
>> Yeah, >> I'm ready.
>> Are you comfortable?
>> Yeah. You know, I haven't I've never been in a taxi before.
I kind of feel like I haven't experienced enough in my life.
>> Well, you were a rich kid. You never had a chance to experience much.
>> Right.
By the way, why don't you move to the city? I mean, you've earned enough. I think you can afford a place in here.
And you know, your town is kind of far, right?
>> Yeah. Well, I've had a lot of wonderful memories here. Especially with my dad.
>> Just like you can never leave your home, I could never leave mine.
>> Yeah, I get it.
>> Careful. [panting and sighs] >> Leah, are you okay, Leah?
>> Yeah, I'm fine.
I know it's quite basic, but it's all I have.
No, it's perfect. I would love to stay here.
>> Are you hungry? I can get you something to eat.
>> I'm good. I'm going to go to bed now.
>> Okay. Sleep well.
>> Um, Ryan, >> where will you sleep?
>> Oh, I have another room. I can just sleep in there.
>> All right.
>> Oh, but don't worry. I'm close by, so if you need anything, you can you can call me. Yeah, cuz you know I'm thinking [clears throat] you need to take a break. Past few days been really hectic.
>> It's okay. I've been through worse before. All right, I'm going to go.
>> Good night.
>> Good idea.
>> I want to know more about him.
Leah, who are you? [laughter] It's me. It's Sophie.
>> Sophie?
I don't know any Sophie. [laughter] >> Sophie? Ryan's mom?
>> Ryan's mother. Really?
>> I'm sorry. I didn't know you live here as well.
>> It's okay. It's fine. I should say I'm sorry. I scared you.
>> No, it's fine. I I should have known about you.
>> It's never too late to know someone.
>> So, what would you >> Mom?
I thought I told you not to wake her up.
[music] >> It's fine, Ryan.
I'm glad I got to meet your mother first in the morning.
So, what would you like for breakfast? I can make you anything.
>> I already bought a bunch of stuff. It's in [music] the kitchen.
>> Well, then I'll just make you something delicious. Leah, >> thanks.
>> I'm sorry about that. She wasn't supposed to wake you up.
>> Come on, Ryan. You embarrassed her.
>> Yeah, but I told her not to wake you up.
I told her not to interrupt you. It's so early.
Forget about it. Here, I made you some coffee.
I know it's not as good as Elizabeth's, but you should still like it.
>> Oh, wow. It's really good. I love it. I think you've learned a lot about me just within a month.
>> Well, I did graduate top of my class, didn't I?
>> Oh, really? [laughter] Never thought this could be so much fun.
[laughter] Don't knock it till you try it.
You know, I feel like I haven't tried so many things in my life. I mean, this looks super boring, but once you start doing it, it kind of gets more interesting.
By the way, have you ever came to our house? I mean, I don't remember you at all. Yes, I came when you were born.
Really?
>> [sighs] >> You know, when your mother died, I came and took care of you for several months.
>> And then, >> well, then your father found a nanny and Yeah.
[sighs] I really wanted to take care of you. Did my dad ask you to leave? No, not at all.
It wasn't like that. I love my house.
And you know, he invited us to stay with Ryan's dad, but I needed to get back and take care of Ryan. He was only one years old at the time.
>> Oh, [sighs] right.
I always knew you would turn into a beautiful young lady.
This is your house.
Your father was so good to us. I feel like I need to repay the favor.
>> Looks like you two are becoming besties, huh? [laughter] >> Can I join?
>> Of course. Come on.
>> Thought you were going to throw that at me. Yeah.
>> Who the hell dare to disturb me when I sleep?
The world hates it when I sleep.
Is anyone there?
Hey, who are you? [music] [laughter] >> You really like that picture, don't you?
>> Yeah.
I mean, family portrait really make me happy cuz I never had one.
>> Well, I guess we can kind of relate a bit better to each other now.
>> What?
>> Nothing.
I was wondering, do you still hate me like before?
>> Hate you? No.
came to my senses that I was such an idiot before.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I mean, I never tried to understand you well and you were really kind to me all the time. I'm glad you're back. [snorts] >> I had to keep my promise.
>> What promise?
>> Do you want some coffee?
>> Yeah, sure.
>> [music] [panting] >> How you feeling, little Lizzy?
>> Why did you bring me here?
>> Oh, you acting like you don't know.
Don't tell me you're innocent. You know why you're here.
>> If you want me to help you with anything, I'm not going to do it.
>> Is that right? I see the way you look at me and Leah sees it too. You want on this man. [laughter] You're >> just a lifeless jerk vessel. Oh man.
[sighs] >> Now look here.
You see what this is?
>> How do you know my address?
>> Let's just say me and your parents had a little chat.
>> Oh yeah. Not only that, I'm going to show a real good time [clears throat] unless you willing to cooperate a little bit. So, you and me going to make a deal. You got that?
We got deal. Okay.
I want you to hold this for me as a little bit of a memory.
When I came home to visit last year, it's actually because my father was quite sick.
He was so sick that he even took a break from his work for once.
>> I remember >> he called me one day and asked me to come to his bedside and that's when he told me that I need to promise him if anything was to ever happen to him that I would replace him at his job. He cared so much about you guys. I didn't actually expect that this would come true, though. [music] But when I heard about the plane crash, I dropped everything and came back here to take care of you.
>> All right. I don't want to be a burden.
>> You're not a burden. You're my responsibility.
Look, take your cup.
I love your hands. They're so warm and big >> and I love everything about you, Leah.
[music] Sorry, I shouldn't [music] Morning.
[music] [music] [singing] >> How long have you been watching me?
>> Just a little while.
Are you awake, Leah?
Oh, why is the door locked?
>> She doesn't know.
>> Is everything okay, Leah?
>> Yeah, I'm coming.
I love your mom. [laughter] She's such a cutie.
You're even cuter.
[laughter] >> Do you want to have some breakfast before we go back?
>> Yeah, sure. By the way, do you think everything is fine?
>> Liz seemed pretty confident about her plan. I think it'll be okay. Let's go.
>> Yeah, >> let's see.
Hey, Liz. Long time no see.
>> Yeah, I miss you, too.
>> No worries. We're on our way back soon.
>> Oh, right.
>> Should we not come back?
>> Yeah. Yeah, you should. Uh, I should better get to work now.
That was [snorts] >> I'm going to make so many new things with this stuff. [laughter] Well, you're a great learner. I was not sure that you were going to pick up anything while you were here.
>> Cuz you're a good teacher. [laughter] [gasps] It's actually done. Oh, what do you think? Wow, this looks beautiful.
I'm so proud of you, Leah. Let's try it on.
How's it? Do you like it? It looks perfect.
Really?
Actually, I made this for you.
>> [sighs] >> Thank you, sweetheart.
No one ever let me this way.
I felt really happy with you here.
I want to thank you for everything.
[snorts] This is your home, Leah.
You can consider me like your mother.
You can talk to me anytime.
[snorts] Why did you come to this?
[laughter] I can't.
This home reminds me of my late husband, and I want to keep him in my heart forever.
I get it. It's okay.
[snorts] [laughter] I feel like you love this photo a bit more than me, even. I mean, this is my second favorite thing in your room.
>> Yeah. What's your first?
>> Of course, it's you. [snorts] >> You know, I've never looked at it the same way that you do.
>> I feel like this photo is your entire life. All you have.
>> Well, I might need a new one soon for this time with you in it. You know, Ryan, I was really reluctant when I had to come here, but now I just don't want to leave here anymore.
You're welcome here anytime you want.
[snorts] Hey, I miss you so much. Wait a second. Okay.
I'll be right back. Come on.
[music] Damn, I missed my room. [laughter] >> What's wrong? Why are you standing over there?
>> I'm on duty now.
>> You must be kidding me. No, >> just because I'm in love with you, it doesn't mean I have to compromise my job.
H.
[music] Are you sure with that?
Fine. Whatever.
Oh my god.
Since I was away, I realized I love this mirror a little too much.
[music] >> Leah.
>> Yeah. What's up?
>> Do you think Liz was acting a bit suspicious?
>> No.
Why did you feel that way? It's >> just that [music] when we entered the house earlier, she just seemed a little bit weird.
>> Maybe because, [music] you know, she was surprised to see us holding hands.
>> Could be. [music] You know, I just can't resist your presence like I could before.
[music] >> What if I order you?
Then I might just have to listen.
[music] [snorts and sighs] >> This is too much work.
Wow. I miss the coffee more than you, Liz.
Too good.
You should try Ryan's too. Makes really good one.
>> Really? He never made me one.
>> I can make you one, too.
>> So, what's the update, Liz?
>> Um, about what?
>> Of course, Michael. He didn't bother you back in here, right?
>> He didn't. I think our plan worked.
>> I knew it.
>> Are you sure, Liz?
>> Of course. Why would I lie?
>> Are you really doubting her?
>> No, not at all. I'm just making sure.
It's my job. I think you should concentrate on running your business now.
>> I know, right? You're really behind in this.
>> I'll take this.
>> Yeah, sure.
>> What do you want?
You need to give me more time.
No. No. I can do something.
Hello.
I need to get him out of the way.
>> Did you call me?
>> Yes. I made some changes. You need to go to the bank.
>> Actually, I called someone for repairs today.
>> Then I'll call myself.
>> Oh, no. I mean, Ryan can go. I'll call the respondent. He only has to sit there until it's approved.
>> Would you go in?
>> I can't leave you here alone.
>> Come on. I'm at home. Don't worry.
>> You were attacked at your home last time. Remember?
>> It only takes few minutes. Okay. And Liz is here too. She will take your job for some time, won't [snorts] you, Liz?
Absolutely.
Yeah. And you know, you help me through all this. So, I think you should go and sort this out, please.
>> How can I say no to you, ma'am? All right. So, I'll take a nap very quick.
[sighs] >> Keep an eye on the workers you're calling in today.
>> Of course.
I think it was a dream.
I don't feel good about this.
Liz.

You ain't getting rid of me.
Stuck with me forever.
Let's be honest. Originally, I was in this [ __ ] for the money.
But the more I look at you, the more I like you. I'm going to taste every bit of you from your toes to your forehead.
I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat that little bodyguard [ __ ] of your friends, too.
What's his name? Rhino.
Oh, yeah. I'm going to give him a rhino horn, man. Keep making those sounds. You're turning me on a little bit.

>> Are you okay?
Are you okay, honey?
No. No. No. Don't move. Don't move.
[laughter] You got shot. You can't move for a few days.
>> What happened?
>> You've got shot then.
Listen, if [music] this was a little bit to the left, we could have died. Why did you take the bullet? [sighs] Yeah, I don't like it when you risk your life for me.
[snorts] [sighs] >> It would have been worse if I had to watch you die.
>> You can't imagine what kind of pain I was the past few days. I just I've been waiting for you.
>> [sighs] [snorts] [laughter] >> What about Michael?
>> He died in the spot.
>> Good for him.
[sighs] >> Ryan, Liz wants to talk to you.
How dare you come back here, Liz.
[sighs] You betrayed us. We almost died. If there's anyone that Liz trusted after her father, it was you.
>> Calm down, Ryan.
>> Calm down.
I could have lost you.
Just get out of here, Elizabeth.
>> You have no idea how hard it was for me to come here. Even though it's nothing to compare to what you guys have been through. I have never regretted anything in my life, but I will never forgive myself for what I've done to you guys. I broke your trust and I deserve to suffer it.
>> Fine, whatever. Suffer. I don't care.
Just get the hell out of here.
>> Wait, [sighs and gasps] what you did was unforgivable, but if I were you, I would do the same. Our parents are very important to us.
If I was alive today at the expense of your parents, [sighs and panting] >> I would rather be dead.
>> Yeah.
>> It's okay, Liz.
>> I want you to keep working for me.
[clears throat] Okay.
Finally. [laughter] Look at you, Ryan.
>> Yeah, I hate laying in bed.
>> Just keep practicing to break normally and you recover soon.
>> How are you always so helpful?
[laughter] >> I just want you to back on your feet again.
Liz, I'm going to go to the washroom really quick. Can you just help Ryan get back to bed?
[music] I know you hate me, right? And I don't deserve to be here.
>> [sighs] >> You know, I had been with Leah since I was a teenager myself, and the guilt was enough for me to understand how wrong I was.
But there's one good thing that happened.
I know now that no one will ever love her the way you do. And you were always meant to be her savior for idiots like me.
You know, you proved yourself. And I'm happy about that.
>> Liz, could it really use some coffee right now?
>> Roger, Dad.
I wish you could stay with me all the time, Ryan.
[snorts] >> [laughter] >> Oh my god.
What's happening again?
[laughter] [gasps] What's going on?
>> We're in trouble. We got to go.
>> What?
>> Let's go. Let's go.
What's going on? Where are you going, Liz? Don't leave me here.
What's happening [laughter] here?
[gasps] [sighs] >> Wow.
Weird. [music] >> [music] >> I hope you know how much I care about you and that I'm going to continue to protect you for the rest of our lives together as husband and wife. Will you marry me?
>> Yes.
[music] [music] Hey, hey, hey.
