00:00Go ahead.
00:05Ethan, madam is ill.
00:10I've got to go.
00:15Faking an illness just to get me back.
00:20Really mom?
00:26You haven't been home in days. I was sick. I have been under a lot of stress, Ethan.
00:30Stress or manipulative tactics?
00:33I did it for your sake. She was delusional about you.
00:36Stop using me to justify your actions.
00:39You've always done this. You've always pushed away anyone who I've gotten close to.
00:45It's always been you.
00:50Friends?
00:55It's always been you.
00:56Friends?
00:57Yeah.
00:58The plumber's daughter?
01:01The girl at the grocery store?
01:03Is that what you aspire to be, Ethan?
01:06Look, if you want your life to go left, fine.
01:09If you want it to go right, fine.
01:11But you will not go down. I cannot accept that.
01:15At least they're genuine.
01:21There's some things you would never understand.
01:24Fine. But mark my words, that maid is anything but simple.
01:29She's honest, unlike you.
01:42Ethan!
01:48Ethan!
01:50What are you two doing here?
01:54I already paid you.
01:55Your little act with the rich boy bumped up the price.
01:58You're playing with fire.
01:59Pay up, and we'll finish what we started.
02:07What the fuck?
02:15Ethan.
02:16This was all an act. You played victim just so I could save you.
02:24I can explain.
02:31You lied to me.
02:50Do you have my secrets with my boyfriend?
02:53I don't think we should see each other anymore.
03:05Shit.
03:24Beautiful, but so tortured.
03:26Was it written for someone special?
03:31Yeah, that was beautiful.
03:33This is Emily of the Sterling family.
03:36She's a wonderful pianist and a perfect match for you.
03:40Seems like more like your type than mine, Mom.
03:43Really? Ethan, you want to do this here, now?
03:46I've actually been wanting to meet you for a long time.
03:49I'd love to play a duet with you sometime.
03:52He can't.
04:00Ethan's already committed to a duet.
04:03With me.
04:11I was told you were a maid.
04:13This is a forehand performance.
04:15Not quite the same as playing on a piano app.
04:18Are you sure you can handle it?
04:20You'll need to find out.
04:50Someone's going to play piano.
05:01You lied to me again.
05:03I was trying to get your attention.
05:05Did it work?
05:07Not yet.
05:09But keep trying.
05:10Look who's lying now.
05:26What did you think of my performance?
05:28So what if you can play?
05:30You'll never be more than a maid.
05:32Crystal shoes don't make a princess.
05:35We may wear the same shoes, but we're not equals.
05:38I'm a Yale grad.
05:40A sterling heiress.
05:41And you are?
05:43I'm someone with nothing to lose.
05:46I'm not afraid to fight for what I want.
05:48Can you say the same?
05:50Are you trying to intimidate me?
05:57You know, these shoes aren't just for show.
06:00They can be used as weapons.
06:02Block my path again, and this heel will be the last thing you see before going blind.
06:07Ever heard an eyeball pop?
06:15And this heel will be the last thing you see before going blind.
06:19Ever heard an eyeball pop?
06:25Leave.
06:32Is that to get my attention too?
06:34Come with me, and I'll show you my secrets.
06:40Wait, Ethan, you can't leave with her.
06:42It's humiliating, and I will be broken.
06:45Mommy, you can work on your acting.
06:52Midnight strikes, and Cinderella must flee.
06:57But this time, she's taking her prince with her.
07:05Come with me, and I'll tell you my secrets.
07:10My baby needs help.
07:14My baby.
07:16My baby.
07:17My baby needs help.
07:19Whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:20Sorry, I'm so sorry.
07:21Ma'am, ma'am, come with me.
07:26That woman, she's my mother.
07:31What?
07:34Twenty years ago, my family faced tragedy.
07:37We lost everything.
07:41And then?
07:43I was sent to an orphanage.
07:46Can you imagine that?
07:50Always hungry.
07:56I'm so hungry.
07:58But pain makes you forget the hunger.
08:03Enjoy your bread.
08:05I've got meat today.
08:20At the orphanage, survival meant fighting like an animal.
08:26But now, I crave more than mere survival.
08:33What is it that you want?
08:35Luxury.
08:37Exquisite meals, finest clothes, first-class tickets.
08:43And I want it all with you.
08:46No, you don't.
08:47I'm just a means to an end for you, Raven.
08:50We could help each other.
08:53You'll be my ladder, and I'll be your sword against your mother.
09:02No more lies, okay?
09:04Agreed.
09:16Sorry, I lied again.
09:18You're not just my stepping stone.
09:21You're my sword aimed at the enemy.
09:30A former maid to Ethan's girlfriend.
09:34Everyone, this is Raven, my girlfriend.
09:44I never pictured you two together.
09:47Oh, well.
09:49Ethan's wealth charmed me as much as he did.
09:52How about that 18-carat diamond necklace for our wedding?
09:58Did you hear what she just said?
10:00Yeah, loud and clear, Mom.
10:02Better keep your money intact.
10:04We'll need it for the wedding.
10:08Raven, why don't you tell us a little bit more about your family?
10:13Well, my mother was a singer.
10:16Graceful and gentle, until she lost her mind.
10:22And your father?
10:25He was the CEO of Atlas Steel.
10:28I'm sorry, then why are you a maid?
10:30Well, he eventually went bankrupt and committed suicide.
10:36I'm so sorry.
10:37What happened?
10:40A manipulative woman tore our lives apart.
10:42You know, people like that deserve what's coming to them.
10:46You're so sweet.
10:49I, too, once believed in divine justice, but...
10:53Now I'm taking matters into my own hands.
11:02Carly.
11:03Sophie seems unsettled.
11:06Yes.
11:08She's always like that.
11:14If revenge is your path, then I'm with you.
11:17Really?
11:19I want those that hurt you to pay.
11:24Okay.
11:37Enjoy the performance.
11:40Diana.
11:41Recognize your old pupil, did you?
11:44Ethan won't hurt me.
11:46Ethan is just the beginning.
11:48I'm going to make him love me.
11:51You can't handle doubt.
11:53You wouldn't dare.
11:54You'll be begging for mercy.
12:10Are you with my stepson to get at me?
12:13You think highly of yourself, don't you?
12:15You win.
12:17I'll divorce her.
12:19And why would I want that?
12:22You're financially supported by your wife.
12:25You're just a dog.
12:28Maybe.
12:30But dogs bite, too.
12:33I have damning evidence against my wife.
12:36Through divorce, I'll be rich.
12:38Richer than Ethan.
12:44Put this on.
12:46And I'll wait for you.
12:49Okay.
13:13What are you doing here?
13:15Just looking for a document.
13:19Okay.
13:27All done.
13:50What are you doing in here?
13:52Well...
13:55I was waiting for you.
14:00Why aren't you wearing it?
14:02I thought maybe we could try something different.
14:06What do you mean?
14:08I thought maybe we could try something different.
14:11What do you mean?
14:13I thought maybe we could try something different.
14:16I thought maybe we could try something different.
14:23Always full of surprises.
14:29This is weird.
14:41Now do you believe me?
14:43Your innocent girlfriend and your stepfather?
15:08Catch me, and I'll surprise you.
15:14What's the price?
15:17You decide.
15:22Raven?
15:24Raven?
15:35Where were you?
15:37I just needed some air.
15:43No more lies, remember?
15:46I saw you in the study with Greg.
15:50Why?
15:53Is this what you want?
15:55You want money?
15:57Take it, Raven. I don't need it.
16:00Take it!
16:02Why?
16:06You saw everything.
16:08So what's there to explain?
16:14Raven?
16:24Ethan, she seduced me.
16:26I didn't start it. It's just a cheat.
16:31Don't ever speak about her like that.
16:34Oh shit.
16:41This is your game, isn't it?
16:49Hold on.
16:53I think I left the locks on. Could you go check, please?
17:01I have to show you something.
17:05I couldn't let them be together, so I used your affair to my advantage.
17:11I figured as much.
17:13You knew.
17:14You're not the only one that knows how to play games.
17:17Maybe we're a match after all.
17:20Are you really hiding criminal evidence against me?
17:25Hey.
17:27Hey.
17:29I've been trying to crack this all night.
17:31I got the files unlocked.
17:33Thank you.
17:34You're welcome.
17:39Greg's been playing games.
17:41Yeah. No real evidence.
17:44There's something big. He's hiding something about Steve.
17:48What?
17:51There's something big. He's hiding something about Sophie.
17:54Could he have stashed it elsewhere?
17:57I guess it's time to visit Greg again.
18:04Stay away from me, please.
18:06Sophie? She's planning our engagement next month?
18:13Mind if I join you?
18:20Greg, why don't you introduce me to your new boyfriend?
18:22Oh, I'm not her boyfriend.
18:24Now we're just old college friends.
18:26I didn't have a crush on her, now.
18:28That's a long time ago.
18:30Yeah.
18:32Garcon, can we get some shrimp?
18:41Thank you.
18:42Thank you.
18:43Please enjoy.
18:51Do you want to try the shrimp?
18:54Sure.
18:57Would you like a shrimp, sweetie?
19:00I'd actually...
19:03Why don't we get engaged tomorrow?
19:06Why wait until next month?
19:08Tomorrow? Are you sure?
19:10Yeah, why not?
19:12Okay.
19:14And of course, you're welcome to attend, right?
19:16Thank you for the invite. I would love to be there.
19:19So long as I can bring a plus one.
19:21Okay.
19:23You guys make such a...
19:25Thank you.
19:35Ethan, your hand's bleeding.
19:37You need to fix...
19:38I'm fine.
19:42I'll be right back.
19:49Get a grip.
19:51Don't go soft on me now.
19:57Then there were two.
19:59Must be the shrimp.
20:01Probably the shrimp.
20:03Frank, I'm back.
20:04Nice to meet you.
20:05It's lovely to meet you.
20:07I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
20:09It's nice to meet you, too.
20:11It's nice to meet you, too.
20:13It's nice to meet you, too.
20:15It's nice to meet you, too.
20:18A new admirer so soon?
20:21It's just like you, girl.
20:26You knew who I was.
20:28Why are you acting so surprised?
20:30I'm not.
20:34You know I could end you.
20:41Does it hurt?
20:43Not as much as you hurt me.
20:45I promise.
20:46Ethan.
20:47Can I leave?
20:49I could forgive you.
20:51For what happened with Greg.
20:53He's still useful to me.
20:55I could be useful to you.
20:57Use me, Raven.
21:02Okay.
21:03But there's something I need from Greg first.
21:07What?
21:09I don't know.
21:11I'm still trying to figure that out.
21:16Let me help.
21:20But I bet he'd hide it where your mom would never look.
21:46I'm sorry.
21:57So you're telling me
21:59you're gonna have Ethan collect evidence against his own mother.
22:05What if he sees it?
22:07Oh, I asked him not to.
22:12But if he does,
22:14he'll uncover the truth about his mother and my real intentions.
22:18And understand why I approached him.
22:21For revenge.
22:22Honestly, Raven.
22:24Do you think he's gonna help you take down his own mother?
22:28I don't know.
22:30But this time,
22:33I wanted him to choose.
22:45I think this is what you've been looking for.
22:48Did you look at what's inside?
22:51Does it matter?
22:53It means a lot to you, and that's enough for me.
22:56Thank you.
22:59This means a lot.
23:03I'm sorry.
23:05I'm sorry.
23:07I'm sorry.
23:09I'm sorry.
23:11I'm sorry.
23:14I'm sorry.
23:17Your hand.
23:19What happened?
23:23Raven.
23:25When this is all over, we should get married.
23:38We should move to another country.
23:41I'll buy you the finest clothes.
23:46I'll take you to the ends of the earth.
23:51We can have it all, Raven.
24:06Cracked it.
24:08There's enough evidence there to put Sophie and Greg away.
24:15Hey.
24:17Looks like you're having second thoughts.
24:28Enjoy the performance.
24:30Diana.
24:31Recognize your old pupil?
24:33Did you?
24:34Ethan won't hurt me.
24:36Ethan is just the beginning.
24:38I'm gonna make him love me.
24:41And then tear him down.
24:43You wouldn't dare.
24:45You'll be begging for mercy.
25:01Are you with my stepson to get at me?
25:03You think highly of yourself, don't you?
25:05You win.
25:07I'll divorce her.
25:09And why would I want that?
25:12Your finances are supported by your wife.
25:15You're just a dog.
25:18Maybe.
25:20But dogs bite, too.
25:23I have damning evidence against my wife.
25:26In her divorce, I'll be rich.
25:29Richer than Ethan.
25:34Put this on.
25:36And I'll wait for you.
26:03What are you doing here?
26:05Just looking for a document.
26:17All done.
26:33I'll be right back.
26:53What are you doing in here?
26:59I was waiting for you.
27:03Why aren't you wearing any?
27:05I thought maybe we could try something different.
27:13Always full of surprises.
27:17It's just water.
27:29Now do you believe me?
27:31Your innocent girlfriend and your stepfather?
27:47Catch me, and there's a prize.
27:55What's the prize?
27:58You decide.
28:04Ready?
28:06Ready.
28:08Ready.
28:10Ready.
28:12Ready.
28:15Raven?
28:17Raven?
28:28Where were you?
28:30I just needed some air.
28:33No more lies, remember?
28:36I saw you in the study with Greg.
28:40Why?
28:44Is this what you want?
28:46You want money?
28:48Take it, Raven.
28:49I don't need it.
28:51Take it!
28:53Why?
28:56Well, you saw everything.
28:59So what's there to explain?
29:02Fuck!
29:15Ethan, she seduced me.
29:17I didn't start it.
29:18She's just a cheap whore.
29:22Don't ever speak about her like that.
29:32This is your game, isn't it?
29:40All done.
29:44I think I left the laptop. Could you go check, please?

31:17Oh, I'm not her boyfriend.
31:19Now we're just old college friends.
31:21I did have a crush on her, though.
31:23Once, a long time ago.
31:25Yeah.
31:27Garcelle, can we get some shrimp?
31:36Thank you.
31:37Thank you.
31:38Please help yourself.
31:41Do you want to try the shrimp?
31:45Try it.
31:47Would you like a shrimp, sweetie?
31:50Actually, Greg.
31:53Why don't we get engaged tomorrow?
31:56Why wait until next month?

32:27You need to fix...
32:28I'm fine.
32:33I'll be right back.

33:17You knew who I was.
33:19Why are you acting so surprised?

33:25You know I could end you.
33:32Does it hurt?
33:34Not as much as you hurt me.
33:36I promise.
33:37Are you done?
33:38Can I leave?
33:39I could forgive you.
33:42For what happened with Greg.
33:44He's still useful to me.
33:46I could be useful to you.
33:48Use me, Raven.
