Di. Twenty-two years.
I was saving those books for the divorce.
You were supposed to stand there. You never touch anything.
I kept your books twenty-two years. I touch everything.
Spare me, and I'll tell you who paid me to bring you here.
You sold me once. I don't need you. It's in your books.
Not all of it, Di.
No more deals, Grant.
Majesty. By the right of the wronged, I claim his seat. Not his life.
I want him alive to watch me do his job properly.
The seat is hers. Take off the chain.
On the floor.
I pledged you into his household.
The one who paid me is already in it.
Wear it then.
They'll know exactly where to find you.
