00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.315
PEIK LIN: These people aren't just rich, they're crazy rich.

00:00:03.315 --> 00:00:05.700
Look, there's new money all over Asia.

00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:08.160
We got the Beijing billionaires, the Taiwan tycoons,

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.720
but the Young family, they're old-money rich.

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.090
They had money when they left China in the 1800s

00:00:14.090 --> 00:00:16.680
and they went all the way down here.

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:19.249
Not there. Here.

00:00:19.249 --> 00:00:21.350
They came to Singapore when there was

00:00:21.350 --> 00:00:22.990
nothing but jungle and pig farmers.

00:00:22.990 --> 00:00:25.610
There's a snake here eating an apple. You know what I mean?

00:00:25.610 --> 00:00:27.230
And they built all of this.

00:00:27.230 --> 00:00:28.510
Now they're the landlords

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:30.430
of the most expensive city anywhere you can go.

00:00:30.430 --> 00:00:35.295
These people are so posh and snobby, they're snoshy. Ew.

00:00:35.295 --> 00:00:37.005
RACHEL CHU: Yeah, but Nick's not like that.

00:00:37.005 --> 00:00:39.670
PEIK LIN: Even if he isn't, I guarantee you the family is.

00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:41.230
Which is why tonight, you need to not

00:00:41.230 --> 00:00:43.345
look like Sebastian of the Little Mermaid.

00:00:43.345 --> 00:00:44.080
You know the little crab guy?

00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:50.868
[MUSIC] Look at this guy, he's sleeping.

00:00:50.868 --> 00:00:53.630
Come on. This isn't your grandma's, bro. God damnit.

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.990
RACHEL CHU: Thank you for joining me.

00:00:55.990 --> 00:00:59.930
PEIK LIN: It's my one chance to see the Young family Mansion. [MUSIC]

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:09.070
GPS: At the next intersection, make a U-turn.

00:01:09.070 --> 00:01:11.070
Make a U-turn.

00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:13.570
PEIK LIN:  Are you sure you gave me the right address?

00:01:13.570 --> 00:01:22.766
The GPS says there's nothing here. Literally nothing.

00:01:22.766 --> 00:01:25.920
RACHEL CHU: I don't know why we're here.

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:25.921
I mean, I put in the exact address.

00:01:25.921 --> 00:01:27.540
PEIK LIN: You copied and you pasted it?

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:27.975
RACHEL CHU: Yeah.

00:01:27.975 --> 00:01:29.730
PEIK LIN: Did you just copy and paste jungle

00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:31.000
and kinda just threw it in there?

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:31.345
RACHEL CHU: No.

00:01:31.345 --> 00:01:35.167
PEIK LIN: Because I feel like you actually used. Okay. All right.

00:01:35.167 --> 00:01:40.495
What's up. Hi. Someone just... Hello, sir.

00:01:40.495 --> 00:01:42.550
How are you? We're here for the party

00:01:42.550 --> 00:01:44.620
and we come in peace.

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:47.690
RACHEL CHU:  Do you know where the Young family house is?

00:01:47.690 --> 00:01:50.960
Nicholas Young. I'm Rachel Chu. I'm here to...

00:01:51.810 --> 00:01:56.320
PEIK LIN: Rachel Chu for the list, if there is a list.

00:01:56.320 --> 00:01:58.910
He's on the phone. Is that a gun knife?

00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:02.005
It's a knife gun. Okay, and there's a friend.

00:02:02.005 --> 00:02:07.400
Hi. Be very nice. We can go through? We're going through. Okay.

00:02:07.590 --> 00:02:10.850
Don't stab the car.

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:19.240
RACHEL CHU: Thank you. Bye. [SOFT MUSIC]

00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:41.975
Oh my gosh. It's beautiful.

00:02:41.975 --> 00:02:45.720
PEIK LIN: Beautiful. It's 200 mill worth of real estate.

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.250
It's spectacular.

00:03:11.390 --> 00:03:14.145
[MUSIC] Damn, Rachel.

00:03:14.145 --> 00:03:16.690
It's like the Asian bachelor.

00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:23.460
NICK: Hello, Gorgeous.

00:03:23.460 --> 00:03:33.720
Wow, I think I've just fallen in love

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:35.480
with you all over again.

00:03:41.540 --> 00:03:42.719
PEIK LIN: Ahem. Rachel.

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.790
NICK: I missed you too.

00:03:44.790 --> 00:03:45.322
RACHEL CHU: Yeah?

00:03:45.322 --> 00:03:47.055
NICK: What'd you get up to?

00:03:47.055 --> 00:03:48.915
PEIK LIN: Pst. Rachel.

00:03:48.915 --> 00:03:51.375
RACHEL CHU: Oh. This is my friend Peik Lin.

00:03:51.375 --> 00:03:52.305
NICK: Hi there.

00:03:52.305 --> 00:03:53.100
PEIK LIN: Howdy?

00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:54.450
NICK: Thank you very much for bringing Rachel.

00:03:54.450 --> 00:03:55.140
PEIK LIN: No worries.

00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.000
NICK: Do you want to stop by for some dinner?

00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:58.155
PEIK LIN: No, I couldn't impose.

00:03:58.155 --> 00:03:58.950
NICK: No, it's not a problem.

00:03:58.950 --> 00:04:00.610
PEIK LIN: I had some dinner plans...[OVERLAPPING] Yeah, I'm coming through.

00:04:00.610 --> 00:04:00.960
RACHEL CHU: I missed you.

00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:07.459
NICK: Did you?

00:04:07.459 --> 00:04:07.745
RACHEL CHU: Yeah.

00:04:07.745 --> 00:04:09.400
NICK: How was your day?

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:19.890
PEIK LIN: No.

00:04:19.890 --> 00:04:21.570
RACHEL CHU: You have a cocktail dress in your trunk?

00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:24.060
PEIK LIN: I'm not an animal, Rachel. [LAUGHTER]

00:04:27.350 --> 00:04:30.330
RACHEL CHU: I thought this was just a family thing.

00:04:30.330 --> 00:04:32.120
NICK: My grandmother has invited

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.180
some of her friends over tonight. [INAUDIBLE]

00:04:34.760 --> 00:04:38.920
It's a whole thing. Are you ready for this? [BACKGROUND NOISE]

00:04:41.810 --> 00:04:46.000
PEIK LIN: Oh, damn, Nick. It's a party, though. Okay. [MUSIC]

00:04:56.690 --> 00:04:59.490
NICK: The good bathrooms are upstairs

00:04:59.490 --> 00:05:01.060
and you can get changed in there.

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:02.500
PEIK LIN: I'll be good. I'll find it. Thank you.

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:17.600
RACHEL CHU: When you said you grew up in your grandma's house,

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.215
I wasn't expecting this. Thank you.

00:05:22.215 --> 00:05:24.770
NICK: No, no, no. Those are for your fingers.

00:05:24.770 --> 00:05:26.935
Thank you very much.

00:05:26.935 --> 00:05:29.885
A little bit much, I know.

00:05:29.885 --> 00:05:33.410
RACHEL CHU: This place is gorgeous. I like the rolling green hills.

00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:37.790
I mean, there are armed guards out there and a giant tiger.

00:05:37.790 --> 00:05:43.535
NICK: That is Mr. Harriman.

00:05:43.535 --> 00:05:45.730
Well, my great-grandfather actually shot him

00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:47.290
when he ran into the house.

00:05:47.290 --> 00:05:50.730
Astrid and I, we used to light cigarettes in his paws.

00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:52.680
RACHEL CHU: Do you want to head in?

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.920
NICK:  Actually, I wanted to bring you over to my mum first.

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:55.926
Come on.

00:05:55.926 --> 00:06:13.970
[MUSIC]

00:06:13.970 --> 00:06:33.390
[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

00:06:33.390 --> 00:06:38.220
NICK: Mom.

00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.455
NICK'S MOM: You need a haircut, so unkempt.

00:06:40.455 --> 00:06:42.270
And you look tired from your trip.

00:06:42.270 --> 00:06:45.005
I'm going to ask the cook to make you some herbal soup.

00:06:45.005 --> 00:06:48.805
[FOREIGN] I'll send it to the hotel later.

00:06:48.805 --> 00:06:51.850
NICK: Mom, this is Rachel Chu.

00:06:51.850 --> 00:06:54.700
RACHEL CHU: Oh, my gosh. I'm so happy to meet you, Mrs. Young,

00:06:54.700 --> 00:06:57.620
or [FOREIGN], right?

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.495
I'm learning the lingo.

00:07:00.495 --> 00:07:02.600
NICK'S MOM: I'm very glad to finally meet you, too.

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.220
I'm sorry Nick's father couldn't be here.

00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:07.240
He was called to business in Shanghai.

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.560
NICK: I told Rachel when duty calls, Dad answers.

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.860
NICK'S MOM: As it should be.

00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:15.525
Nick tells me you're a professor, too. What do you teach?

00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:17.025
RACHEL CHU: I teach economics.

00:07:17.025 --> 00:07:20.600
NICK: And she's brilliant. NYU's youngest faculty member.

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:26.940
NICK'S MOM: [FOREIGN] Economics, sounds challenging.

00:07:26.940 --> 00:07:29.065
Are your parents academics as well?

00:07:29.065 --> 00:07:32.660
RACHEL CHU: No. Well, my dad actually died before I was born

00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:34.680
and my mom didn't even go to college.

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.380
She actually hardly spoke any English

00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:38.460
when she immigrated to the United States.

00:07:38.460 --> 00:07:41.220
But she worked really hard and she studied

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:42.890
and she earned her real estate license

00:07:42.890 --> 00:07:45.320
while she was waiting tables to support us.

00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:47.660
Now she likes to say that she's Flushing's

00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:49.480
top real estate broker.

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.380
NICK'S MOM: Self-made woman.

00:07:51.380 --> 00:07:54.220
She must be so proud of you.

00:07:54.690 --> 00:07:57.590
RACHEL CHU: Well, she knows that I'm passionate about what I do

00:07:57.590 --> 00:08:00.070
and she's always wanted that for me.

00:08:00.070 --> 00:08:04.600
NICK'S MOM: Pursuing one's passion. How American.

00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.605
Well, your mother's very open-minded,

00:08:07.605 --> 00:08:10.670
not like here, where parents are obsessed

00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:13.310
with shaping the life of the children.

00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.605
Go ahead. I'll be out in a minute.

00:08:18.605 --> 00:08:21.255
Rachel, it was lovely meeting you.

00:08:21.255 --> 00:08:22.290
RACHEL CHU: Thank you, you too.

00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:25.920
Okay, she hates me.

00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:27.450
NICK: She takes a little minute

00:08:27.450 --> 00:08:30.190
to warm up and get there.
