00:00Everything we had, our savings, our family's home.
00:08Help. Please.
00:11Here.
00:15One night, one million. No questions.
00:18You'll do what I say every second.
00:21I lost everything. Our house, our savings.
00:24No, John. You're not going through with this.
00:27If you go through with this, you'll lose me for good.
00:30I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
00:32To be alive and to love.
00:36What did you want?
00:39I want revenge.
00:42This is Olivia. She's a master chef.
00:45Thought she might bring a little spice to our house.
00:49Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.
00:51Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
00:54You know what? It's delicious, Mario.
00:57One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
01:01You dare touch me?
01:03John!
01:27Help. Please.
01:32Here.
01:47Olivia, please hear me out.
01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe.
01:53Passed out on my couch, but safe.
01:56Wait, who is this? Where's Olivia?
02:01I'll send you the address.
02:03Be here soon, or don't come at all.
02:12Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.
02:15Everything we had.
02:17Our savings, our family's home.
02:22How could you risk it all on a single investment?
02:24I thought it was our shot.
02:27A chance to finally make something of myself.
02:29Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
02:35I'm willing to help. For a price.
02:40Spend one night with me.
02:45And I'll give you one million dollars.
02:52Sorry, did I hear you right?
02:56You want him to spend the night with you for money?
02:59It's just a business arrangement.
03:01One night, one million dollars.
03:05And what exactly do you expect from me?
03:08Just one night together.
03:10You get what you need, and I get what I want.
03:13You really think we would sell ourselves for this?
03:16Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight.
03:18I'll leave you two to think it over.
03:21You can't expect us to just wait here. We're leaving, now.
03:24Oh my god, here.
03:26A hundred thousand.
03:28Just to stay here and think about it.
03:31I love you.
03:46Dad, I've given my life to this family.
03:50To this company.
03:52No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
03:54You don't lead people, you control them.
03:57And that's why people respect me.
03:59That's not respect, it's fear.
04:02Look around you, you're alone.
04:05No partner, no friends.
04:08If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?
04:25Good evening, Maria. Everything alright?
04:28More than alright.
04:30Actually, I wanted to talk to you both.
04:34About someone.
04:39I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
04:44A fiancé? I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.
04:48Who is he?
04:50He's someone special.
04:52I thought it was time you met him.
04:54Why didn't you arrange a proper introduction?
04:56What's the sudden rush?
04:58Timing just felt right.
05:00Look, he'll be here soon.
05:10A fiancé?
05:12When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:14I don't have time for you. Just watch and learn.
05:18John, do you really think this is the way to fix things?
05:22Selling yourself to that woman?
05:24I'm just trying to make up for the mess I made, Olivia.
05:27And this is just one night.
05:29And then we can start over.
05:31You don't get it, do you?
05:33One night isn't going to fix things.
05:35She's not giving you a second chance.
05:38She's taking you away from me.
05:41What choice do I have?
05:43She's taking you away from me.
05:46What choice do I have, Olivia?
05:48I lost everything.
05:50Our house.
05:52The savings.
05:53No, John. I'm not going through with this.
05:57If you go through with this,
06:00you'll lose me for good.
06:04We're out of time.
06:06She's here.
06:07Let her in.
06:10I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
06:21So John is your latest hero, huh?
06:24Perfect timing to charm Dad.
06:26Right before the board meeting.
06:28Clever move, Maria.
06:29Is it a crime to have someone in my life?
06:32I find it amusing.
06:34Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe you're ready to run the company?
06:40What's going on here?
06:43Just talking about the future.
06:45Yeah. Exciting family plans.
06:47You're gonna love it.
06:59Maria?
07:03Well, you're definitely not Maria.
07:06Who are you?
07:09This is my house.
07:12Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?
07:14A woman brought us here.
07:16Isn't this her place?
07:18That sounds like Maria.
07:20Might be her place, yes.
07:22But it's my house now.
07:24She made us this crazy offer.
07:27We're just waiting for her to come back.
07:29But who is she? What kind of person does this?
07:31Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.
07:34Once she's got her eye on something.
07:37Or someone.
07:40She won't let anything stand in her way.
07:42So this is just a game to her?
07:44It's not a game.
07:46It's how she keeps control.
07:48Once you're in, you're playing by her rules.
07:52So if you're smart, you'll walk away before she decides you belong to her.
08:08So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
08:11Relax. I've got it all under control.
08:18Time's up.
08:19What's your answer?
08:21Stay away from us.
08:23We're not interested in whatever you're offering.
08:25Oh my god. Look at you.
08:28Acting like you've got a say in this.
08:30If you're out of your league here, this isn't some street hustle.
08:34Money can't buy everything, you know?
08:36John's staying here with me.
08:38Careful. You don't have the power to touch me.
08:41In my world, you're nothing.
08:44Is it really one million dollars?
08:50One night. One million. No questions.
08:54You'll do what I say every second.
09:01Undress.
09:03Now.
09:07Put this on.
09:21You really think this proves something?
09:24Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
09:27It proves I get what I want.
09:31He's not your toy.
09:33And this is desperation.
09:35Not power.
09:36Desperation?
09:38That's the language of losers.
09:43Go on. Let's finish this show.
09:54Perfect.
09:55Now follow me.
10:03Here.
10:05Do you remember everything I told you?
10:08Yes.
10:09Okay, good.
10:10We need to convince my family that we've been in love for months and are ready to marry.
10:15Okay? Only then you'll be off the hook.
10:18I think I can handle it.
10:20No, you don't need to think. You need to know.
10:22The answers need to come naturally.
10:24Like we've been in love for months.
10:27Okay?
10:32And one more thing.
10:33If you slip up and they see through you, it's game over.
10:42You know what that means?
10:45That means you, Olivia, anything you care about is gone.
10:53There won't be a second chance.
10:55Understand?
10:59Good.
11:03So, Gianni, are you in finance?
11:07Mostly investments. Look for opportunities.
11:11I see. The Weston family, quite the opportunity, wouldn't you say?
11:16Not everything's business, Duke. Some things are worth more than money.
11:22Well, it's rare to find somebody who understands that not everything has a price.
11:28Thank you, Grace. And dinner has been incredible.
11:32Don't be too impressed. It's ordered in. Nothing special tonight.
11:38So, tell us, when's the big day?
11:41Soon. We didn't see the need to wait.
11:45It's a commitment. Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
11:52Just remember, even love comes with a price in this family.
11:57Mmm.
11:58Gonna grab some fresh air. And no, I'm not quitting.
12:04Maybe I should get going, too. It's getting late.
12:07Oh, no, no, no, no. John's staying. Isn't that right?
12:11Yes, please, dear, stay. You're practically family now.
12:16How about a real drink, John? Let's even keep up.
12:19Darling, wait. I'm coming with you.
12:23What is this? Why am I still here?
12:26Because they're not convinced yet. Especially Duke.
12:30Tonight, we make sure they believe every word of it.
12:34And that means...
12:37showing them just how much we're in love.
12:42This is your family, Marie. You want them to think we're having sex?
12:44John!
12:46Ulysses is in the car.
12:48Olivia, is it?
12:49Seems she's, like, really eager to reach you.
12:56Just, uh, give me the phone.
12:57Oh, come on, John. Let's not keep her waiting.
13:00John. John, please, don't let her do this to you. Don't trust her.
13:05Are you with Laura right now?
13:10Yes. Yes, I am.
13:12Well, the two of you are still holding on to the past.
13:16John and I, we've moved on.
13:19Maybe it's time we both did the same.
13:21This isn't over. You won't just push me out of his life.
13:24I know exactly what you're doing.
13:27I think it is over.
13:29But John and I, we've chosen each other.
13:33Olivia, I've made my choice.
13:36Marie and I, we're getting married.
13:39Getting married.
13:52Sometimes, I think everything is how we finally see what's left to hold on to.
13:57What exactly do I have left?
14:00Homeless, alone, broke.
14:04I don't even have a place to stay tonight.
14:06Tonight you stay here. Get some rest.
14:09And tomorrow, start fresh.
14:12Start fresh?
14:14Do what? I have nothing left.
14:17Forget them.
14:19Think about yourself, Olivia.
14:21What do you want?
14:24I want revenge.
14:28Then start simple.
14:30Shower and clean up.
14:32Look like you're ready for a fight.
14:36Why are you helping me?
14:37Because I know exactly what it feels like.
14:40To lose everything to Maria.
14:47About the call.
14:49Seems like she's not over you, buddy.
14:51Oh, Duke.
14:52Everyone has a past.
14:54But when you know what you want, it's easier to leave them behind.
14:58Right?
14:59Well, speaking of the past, what was on Laurie your shrink?
15:02Father might find it interesting that his future CEO still needs professional support.
15:08Support? Maria?
15:10Are you still seeing your therapist?
15:12I thought you were ready to lead, not lean.
15:17Maria, if you're going to lead, understanding your emotions, your condition, is crucial.
15:23Without it, real connection is impossible.
15:27I don't need connection.
15:29I need control.
15:31Leadership isn't just about control.
15:34It's about empathy, trust, knowing when to rely on others.
15:39Relying on others makes you weak.
15:42And I won't be weak.
15:45Don't worry, father.
15:47I'm not weak.
15:49I'm in control.
15:51Always.
15:53Alright, it's been a long night.
15:55I'm going to show John to my room.
15:58Thank you for both having me, it's been a pleasure.
16:01John, you expect great things.
16:05Welcome to the family, John.
16:07Rest well.
16:09Come in.
16:16So, you're not Duke's wife?
16:19So, I'm not Duke's watcher?
16:24You'll stay here tonight.
16:26I want you close, okay?
16:27I want you close, okay?
16:47He's listening.
16:49We need to keep this up, okay?
16:58Yes!
17:00Yes!
17:03Are you okay?
17:06Oh, yeah!
17:08Yeah, John!
17:09Wow, John!
17:20Oh my God!
17:21Oh my God, right there, yes!
17:23John!
17:24Have you never had sex before?
17:27Oh my God!
17:29Yeah, John!
17:30That's so good!
17:31Oh, yeah!
17:32Oh, yeah!
17:33Yeah!
17:34Yeah, that's good!
17:35Oh my God!
17:36Oh my God!
17:37Oh my God!
17:38Oh my God!
17:39Yes!
17:40Ah!
17:41Ah!
17:42Ah!
17:43Ah!
17:44Ah!
17:45Ah!
17:46Ah!
17:56Can I ask you something?
17:58Depends.
17:59Will it bore me?
18:01You're stunning.
18:02Rich.
18:03Confident.
18:05You could have anyone you wanted.
18:08Why do you pay me to act like your lover?
18:13Because feelings,
18:15they come with expectations.
18:18If someone thinks you care,
18:20they expect more.
18:22But if you own someone,
18:24like I own you,
18:27it's easy.
18:28I say goodbye and it's done.
18:32Are you catching feelings for me?
18:37I hope not, John.
18:39That'd be disappointing.
18:49Make yourself comfortable, John.
19:07Ah!
19:16But not too comfortable, John.
19:18We're not done yet.
19:20Tomorrow's the board meeting.
19:22Father's announcing his retirement.
19:24And if all goes well,
19:25I'll be the one he names to lead.
19:28You said this was for just one night.
19:31I have you until sunset tomorrow.
19:34Ahem.
19:37Ahem.
20:07Hey.
20:33Hey, sis.
20:35Just thought you'd like to know.
20:37Father's not feeling that good today.
20:39Might have been that dinner last night.
20:41Meeting is postponed.
21:08You really know how to spoil a good moment.
21:10Oh, this isn't a game, Duke.
21:12I've seen what you've done.
21:14Reckless spending, scandals.
21:16You're dragging this company down.
21:18Now, you have a choice.
21:20You either step down quietly,
21:22or I bring these to Edward.
21:25We both know what he'll do
21:26when he sees this mess.
21:28What?
21:29Crown you his successor?
21:31No.
21:33I'm not going to let you do that.
21:34Yes.
21:35What?
21:36Crown you his successor?
21:38He'd rather give this place to the janitor
21:40than to trust either of us.
21:41The janitor, yeah.
21:43Well, at least I'm trying to save
21:44what's left of this family.
21:46You don't care about this company, Duke.
21:48All you care about is the title,
21:50the image, nothing real.
21:52Spare me the lecture, Maria.
21:54You don't want to save anything.
21:56You just want control.
21:57You know what?
21:59If you want to drag yourself down,
22:01go ahead.
22:04But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.
22:06I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.
22:14I heard you postponed the meeting.
22:16Is everything all right?
22:18Nothing serious.
22:19Just a headache.
22:21Not feeling my best today.
22:23That's exactly why it's time
22:24to move forward.
22:26Let me take this off your shoulders.
22:28You know there's no one better fit
22:29to run the family business.
22:31Maybe.
22:32But let's have this chat another day.
22:35Father, look at me.
22:37Look at me.
22:39I'm ready.
22:40I'm finally ready.
22:42I'm getting married.
22:44I'm starting my own family.
22:46I know my responsibilities now.
22:48Can you at least leave Dad alone today?
22:50I told you, no meetings.
22:52Dad's feeling better now.
22:54He just needs a day of rest
22:56before he's ready to announce his decision.
22:58Right, Dad?
23:00I'm fine.
23:02I'm fine.
23:33Olivia?
23:36You don't know me,
23:37but we gotta talk.
23:48Sign it.
23:57An NDA?
23:58What's this for?
23:59You want your money, don't you?
24:00Then sign it.
24:08Done.
24:09Am I free to go now?
24:11Free?
24:12Oh no, you're not free, John.
24:14We had a deal, remember?
24:16That deal was for one night, Maria.
24:18One night.
24:20Yeah, it was one night.
24:23But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.
24:26Not enough for them to believe
24:27we're the perfect couple.
24:29You're not going anywhere, John.
24:31Not until you convince everyone
24:32that we are in love.
24:35And by the time we're done,
24:37even you might believe it.
24:47Now I understand John's poor judgment.
24:51Only a fool
24:53will leave you behind.
24:55And who exactly are you?
24:56I believe you met my sister,
24:58Maria.
24:59I'm Duke.
25:00Then listen carefully.
25:02I'm gonna destroy John
25:04and her.
25:05So if you're here to get in my way...
25:06I wouldn't dream of it.
25:08As a matter of fact,
25:09I plan to enjoy every second.
25:11And why would you want to
25:12tear down your own sister?
25:14And how exactly
25:15are we going to do that?
25:17You see,
25:19Maria believes
25:20she owns everyone,
25:21even her own family.
25:23But without that control,
25:24she's got nothing.
25:26All we gotta do
25:28is to pull the rug from under her.
25:30She'll slowly fall apart.
25:32So we just
25:33sit back and watch?
25:35Exactly.
25:36No bold moves,
25:37no confrontations.
25:39Just time.
25:41Maria can be her worst enemy
25:42given the right push.
25:45And where do I
25:46fit into all of this?
25:48Let's just say that
25:51I could use some
25:52motivating pipeline.
25:54Olivia,
25:55are you looking for a job?
26:00So, John,
26:02how did you and my daughter
26:03cross paths?
26:05Paris,
26:06just two months ago.
26:08By this end,
26:09felt like fate.
26:11Seems so sudden.
26:12What's with the
26:14big rush?
26:15Father,
26:16do you remember you told me
26:17something about love
26:19not needing
26:20explanations
26:21or definitions?
26:23You said love was like
26:25a being
26:26alive.
26:28You know when you are
26:29and you know when you're not.
26:34That's how I knew
26:36I was alive
26:38after all these years.
26:40To being alive
26:42and to love.
26:43Hope we're not too late
26:44to join the celebrations.
26:46Well, Duke,
26:47aren't you
26:48going to introduce us
26:49to your lovely guest?
26:51This is Olivia.
26:53She's a master chef.
26:55Thought she might bring
26:56a little spice to our house.
26:58Is that really necessary?
27:00Don't we have all the help
27:01we need?
27:02Oh, nonsense.
27:03It's a splendid idea.
27:04You're very welcome here.
27:06Thank you, Mr. Weston.
27:08I'll be sure to make myself
27:09useful.
27:11I'll be sure to make myself
27:12useful.
27:13I'll be sure to make myself
27:14useful.
27:16And of course,
27:18to your view,
27:19Miss Maria.
27:23And you must be John?
27:26I'm Olivia.
27:29Ah, Grace.
27:30There you are, darling.
27:31Meet Olivia,
27:32our new chef.
27:34She's going to be staying
27:35with us for a while.
27:37Ooh, isn't this cozy?
27:39One big happy family.
27:41To new beginnings, then.
27:44Fuck.
27:52Alright, drop the act.
27:54What are you doing here?
27:55Isn't it obvious?
27:58Making myself at home.
27:59That dress.
28:01That's Laura's.
28:04Oh, this?
28:06Yeah, she was kind enough
28:07to let me borrow it.
28:10Generous, isn't she?
28:11Generous?
28:12She bought that dress
28:13with my money.
28:15That dress doesn't
28:16belong to you.
28:18Just like this life doesn't.
28:21Take it off.
28:22Now.
28:23You'll have to rip it off
28:24me first.
28:32You're pathetic.
28:34All this power,
28:35all this wealth,
28:36and you still can't stand
28:38someone challenging you,
28:39Maria.
28:40Challenging me?
28:42Challenge me all you want.
28:44But when you fall again,
28:46then you will fall.
28:48Don't expect me
28:49to help you up.
28:51Again.
28:53Help.
28:54Please.
29:01We'll see who loses, Maria.
29:04Enjoy your borrowed life.
29:06Because it's not going to last.
29:08Oh, and next time,
29:10I won't be so polite.
29:38Did you make these yourself?
29:40Yes, sir.
29:41Thought a little something
29:42homemade might
29:43brighten the morning.
29:45Well, mission accomplished.
29:47Please, sit, Olivia.
29:49You deserve a break.
29:52It's nice to feel
29:53appreciated around here.
29:54You know, this house
29:55isn't so easy.
29:57What is that?
29:58Is it the room?
29:59I can arrange something
30:00bigger if you like.
30:01No, it's not the room
30:02or anything like that.
30:03It's just the way things are.
30:06You know, I didn't grow up
30:07with all this money
30:08and power.
30:10My family were just
30:11simple people.
30:12You think I was born
30:13into this life?
30:14No.
30:16I had to build it
30:17piece by piece.
30:19That's why it hurt so much
30:20seeing my kids.
30:21They never had to fight
30:22for anything.
30:26The other day, Maria,
30:29she told me I stink
30:30of poverty.
30:32She can't even look at me
30:33without disgust.
30:34Olivia,
30:35this is my house.
30:36If anyone in this family
30:37doesn't like it,
30:39they're free to leave.
30:48I couldn't stop thinking
30:49about you.
30:50I didn't know where you were,
30:52if you were alright.
30:53Where was I?
30:55After you left me?
30:57Broke,
30:58homeless,
30:59alone.
31:01I stayed where I could.
31:02But don't worry,
31:03I didn't sell myself,
31:05if that's what you're wondering.
31:06Olivia, please.
31:08I know I hurt you,
31:09but it's not what you think.
31:11Just give me a chance
31:12to explain.
31:13You chose money over me,
31:14John.
31:16And that,
31:18you can't just forget.
31:20You know I love you,
31:21right?
31:23Please don't forget that.
31:25I'll be done with this game
31:26soon then,
31:27and we can leave together.
31:29I promise.
31:33John!
31:34Get your hands off her now!
31:43You're set to marry my daughter,
31:45yet here you are
31:46with another woman
31:47under my roof.
31:49It's not what it looks like.
31:51I knew Olivia from before.
31:53From before?
31:54From where exactly?
31:55Mr. Weston,
31:57I don't know who he is,
31:58he's just a stranger to me.
32:00I'm sorry,
32:01I'm sorry.
32:05Okay, I'm trying to understand
32:06what Maria sees in you,
32:07or if she's seeing clearly at all.
32:09Look, Dad,
32:10John and I
32:11are going to handle this privately,
32:12aren't we, John?
32:14Let's go.
32:15John,
32:16if you cross this line again,
32:18you won't get within a mile
32:19of this family.
32:20Are we clear?
32:31I don't have
32:32any idea what you've done.
32:34Everyone is suspicious now.
32:36We had a plan,
32:37and you managed to ruin it
32:38in one day.
32:40Maybe you shouldn't have relied
32:41on a plan so fragile
32:43that a single mistake
32:44could break it.
32:45You're here
32:46because you're supposed to
32:47follow orders,
32:49not question me.
32:51Do your job,
32:53prove your worth,
32:54and then you'll get your money.
32:56Money?
32:57Right.
32:58But let's be real, Maria.
32:59If your father
33:00doesn't choose you,
33:01you've got nothing
33:02to give me,
33:03do you?
33:06So what's the backup plan?
33:08Because from where I'm standing,
33:10you're not in as control
33:11as you think.
33:12Don't push me, John.
33:13You're here because
33:14when you signed that paper,
33:15you gave away
33:16any control you had.
33:18In fact,
33:19you handed me
33:20the keys
33:21to your life.
33:23If you fail me,
33:25I'll make sure
33:26that you lose
33:27everything,
33:29even the things
33:30you didn't know
33:31you had left.
33:32So go ahead.
33:34Test me if you want.
33:36But if I were you,
33:38I'd start thinking about
33:39the price
33:40of obedience.
33:45You know, Olivia,
33:47you're playing your part
33:48beautifully.
33:50But remember,
33:51you're here to do a job,
33:52not to get cozy
33:53with my father.
33:57I'm here to do
33:58exactly what I was brought here
33:59to do, Duke.
34:02But I think I'm going
34:03to do it my way,
34:04not yours.
34:05Careful, Olivia.
34:08Don't think you're running
34:09the show here.
34:11This is my house,
34:12and remember,
34:13I brought you here.
34:15Maybe so.
34:16But while I'm here,
34:17this is my room.
34:19And you're not
34:20welcome in it.
34:21Yeah?
34:23What if I decide to stay?
34:24Then you'd only be proving
34:25why your father
34:26doesn't respect you.
34:28You see,
34:29he knows something
34:30about dignity.
34:32Clearly something
34:33you've never learned.
34:35You think his protection
34:36will keep you safe here?
34:39Mr. Weston
34:40let me in here.
34:42And you see,
34:43he's the one
34:44calling the shots,
34:46not you.
34:55Olivia,
34:56you bring someone
34:57to this house
34:58I thought I'd lost.
35:00Really,
35:01Mr. Weston?
35:04I think we're
35:05well past Mr. Weston now,
35:07don't you?
35:09Alright,
35:10Edward.
35:12I find myself
35:13looking forward to each day
35:15knowing
35:16I'll see you.
35:18Edward,
35:19I didn't expect,
35:20I mean,
35:21I never thought that...
35:22Sometimes
35:24words just
35:25get in the way.
35:35How could you?
35:41After all these years?
35:47I can't do this anymore.
35:49I have my lawyer.
35:51I have my lawyer
35:52sign the papers.
36:07Mom,
36:08don't do this.
36:10Don't let her push you out.
36:12If anyone should be leaving,
36:14it's her.
36:16My baby girl,
36:17this is not about her.
36:19This is about your father.
36:21He is searching
36:22for something else.
36:24And I'm tired
36:25of being the one waiting.
36:26Stay then.
36:28Let him see what he's giving up.
36:30Show him that you're
36:31the one holding us together.
36:33I tried.
36:34I tried for so many years.
36:36But no matter
36:37how much love I gave,
36:38it was never enough
36:40to fill the emptiness in him.
36:50Please,
36:51take care of each other.
36:53And don't ever think
36:55you were not enough.
37:15Aren't you gonna say goodbye to her?
37:17Grace made her choice.
37:18There's nothing more to say.
37:21So,
37:22how are things gonna be now?
37:24Between us,
37:25I mean.
37:26This isn't the time
37:27for that discussion.
37:29Is that your way
37:30of saying you regret this?
37:32Are you blaming me?
37:33No.
37:34It was bound to happen.
37:36Grace was always looking
37:37for an excuse to leave.
37:38Oh, so I'm just an excuse.
37:44That's it.
37:45Fairytale's over.
37:47Cinderella goes back
37:48to cleaning the kitchen.
37:56I'm gonna ask you this once.
37:58What did you do to my mother?
38:01Nothing.
38:03Maybe she just
38:04finally had enough.
38:07Watching her own children
38:08turn out to be
38:09such disappointment.
38:10Careful.
38:11You're playing a dangerous game.
38:12In this house,
38:13you're gonna get eaten up
38:14alive
38:15and you'll be left
38:16with nothing.
38:17Nothing?
38:19Oh, I already have
38:20so much more
38:21than you ever could.
38:23And you know what?
38:24It's delicious, Maria.
38:26Okay.
38:27What, you think
38:28throwing yourself at him
38:29gives you power?
38:30It only proves
38:31what everyone already sees.
38:33A woman so desperate,
38:35she'll hang on to any man
38:36with a pulse
38:37and a dollar.
38:39At least I didn't have
38:40to write a check
38:41just to make me feel wanted.
38:43You see,
38:44that's the difference
38:45between us, Maria.
38:46Yeah, well enjoy it
38:47while it lasts.
38:49Because once my father
38:50sees who you really are,
38:52he'll throw you out
38:53with the rest of the trash.
38:55Stay away from my father.
38:58And stay the hell
39:00out of my life.
39:02Got it?
39:14Okay.
39:39John?
39:40Have you lost your mind?
39:42What are you doing here?
39:43Just give me a minute,
39:44please.
39:49What are you really doing here?
39:51What's the plan?
39:52I'm here to keep my promise, John.
39:55To make sure you regret
39:56every moment.
39:58Olivia.
40:06Olivia, this doesn't have
40:07to be about revenge.
40:09I'm here for the money.
40:10For us.
40:12Help me and we can
40:14leave this together.
40:16You left me, John.
40:18You broke me.
40:20You broke us.
40:22And now you're all
40:23wrapped up in Maria's lies.
40:26I've made mistakes,
40:27but I never stopped loving you.
40:29Not for one second.
40:34You think you can just
40:35pick up the pieces?
40:37It's not that simple, John.
40:39Not all wounds
40:40can just heal.
40:42Maybe not, but
40:44I'd hold on to every
40:45broken piece of it
40:46but I can still have you.
41:07Maria?
41:09Do I really need to
41:10remind you who owns you?
41:13If you want your money,
41:14you're going to stay
41:15in your role.
41:17And if you think you're
41:18coming into my bed again,
41:20you're going to stay away
41:22from this.
41:24You really think
41:25you can still buy everything?
41:27It's actually amusing
41:28how little it costs
41:29to make them forget you.
41:31Maria, that's not...
41:32Look,
41:33either you're going to
41:34take the life I'm giving you
41:36or you're going to
41:37throw it away
41:39for...
41:40her.
41:44Choose wisely.
41:58Everything's fallen apart.
42:00If I don't find a way
42:01to stay in this game,
42:03Maria will toss me
42:04out of that ascent.
42:05Why do you still care
42:06about Maria's money?
42:07It's not even hers,
42:08it's her father's.
42:09Look,
42:11maybe we should play
42:12by his rules,
42:13not hers.
42:14Why would he give me
42:15a million dollars?
42:16Edward doesn't care about me,
42:17not one bit.
42:19No,
42:20he doesn't care about you,
42:22but
42:23he does have
42:25other interests.
42:26Don't even think about it,
42:27Olivia.
42:28Edward's just another rich man
42:30who gets bored easily.
42:32He'll use you up
42:33and throw you out
42:34like you're nothing.
42:35Is that why we're here?
42:36For the money?
42:39Let me handle this.
42:41You don't play games
42:42with these people.
42:45We'll figure it out
42:47tomorrow.
42:59Olivia.
43:01Edward?
43:06Maria,
43:08do you know what
43:09alexithymia is?
43:11It's when someone
43:12can truly feel
43:13or express their emotions
43:14like others do.
43:16For you, it means
43:18you may never know
43:19what love really is.
43:21And what exactly
43:22is love?
43:24Love is
43:26the feeling
43:28of being loved
43:30by someone
43:31you love.
43:32And what exactly
43:33is love?
43:34Love is
43:36a connection
43:37beyond reason.
43:39It's that force
43:40that draws you in
43:41even when you try
43:42to resist.
43:44It makes you care
43:46beyond reason.
43:48Then it sounds
43:49unnecessary.
43:51I don't need it.
43:52You're a remarkable woman,
43:53Maria.
43:55It's a shame
43:56someone like you
43:57might never know
43:58what it's like to
43:59love
44:01or be loved.
44:06Maria?
44:08Wait, tell me.
44:09John?
44:12What is love?
44:15I...
44:16I don't know.
44:18It's not something you say.
44:19It's something you feel.
44:31Did you feel it?
44:33Did you feel
44:34love?
44:36Is this part of the game
44:37or is this...
44:38What did it feel like
44:39with Olivia?
44:40When you touched her?
44:41When you kissed her?
44:43It's like everything fades.
44:46It's just her.
44:48The way she laughs.
44:49The way she smells.
44:51Tie this over your eyes.
45:01Now touch me.
45:04Touch me as if I'm her.
45:19That's enough.
45:20I don't have time for fantasies.
45:22Come on, get up.
45:23We have work to do.
45:31Good morning, John.
45:33Decided to join us, I see.
45:42Look, father, I was saying.
45:44Now that mother's gone,
45:46I think it's time to end
45:47this family competition.
45:48It's tearing us all apart.
45:50So you're finally giving up?
45:52Well, if it means peace,
45:53then yes.
45:57Give Duke the title.
45:58If you think he's earned it.
46:00It's not likely to surrender, Maria.
46:03What's behind the change of heart?
46:05Letting go doesn't mean
46:06that I've lost.
46:07It just means that I'm
46:09picking my battles.
46:10That's all.
46:12You know what, Maria?
46:14Enjoy your last days here
46:15because once I'm in charge,
46:17this whole empire is going
46:18to look a lot different.
46:21Is that a threat, Duke?
46:23One day you'll know exactly
46:24how it feels to live in my shadow.
46:26How it feels to live in my shadow.
46:39So I overheard the conversation.
46:41That means we won, right?
46:42Olivia!
46:46She won again!
46:48But you're the CEO.
46:49She's out.
46:50Isn't that what you all
46:51really wanted?
46:52Do you think that this is
46:53what I wanted?
46:54Business reports,
46:55boardroom meetings.
46:56This was always her dream,
46:57not mine.
46:59Then what do you really want?
47:02To be seen.
47:04To have my father look at me
47:05just once
47:07and tell me that he's proud.
47:09That's gone now.
47:10She took it from me.
47:13Oh, Duke.
47:14Something the matter?
47:16You don't look like a man
47:17who just got everything he wanted.
47:18You never wanted me to have this.
47:20You just wanted to win.
47:22Yeah, you know,
47:23if you were looking for
47:24dad's approval,
47:25you were always going to be
47:26disappointed.
47:27Because you know there was
47:28always one favorite.
47:29And guess what?
47:31It wasn't you.
47:39Hey, you dare touch me?
47:41Do you really get your kicks
47:42tearing down people?
47:44Even your own family?
47:45Oh, please.
47:46Duke's life's been
47:47falling apart for years.
47:49My help's hardly needed.
47:50You tear people down
47:51just to make yourself
47:52feel powerful.
47:53But guess what?
47:54It's all slipping through
47:55your fingers now,
47:56isn't it, Maria?
47:57You're stepping out of line.
47:58Back.
47:59Remember where you are
48:01and who you're dealing with.
48:02Oh, I know exactly
48:03who I'm dealing with.
48:05And I pity you.
48:08You're all alone.
48:10You're too proud to even see it.
48:12Maria, Edward knows.
48:14Duke's telling him everything.
48:16Right now!
48:19Dad, please just listen to me.
48:21I don't have time for this, Duke.
48:23Save the drama.
48:24I have a company to run.
48:25No, you're going to hear me now.
48:27I know
48:28that Maria's the one
48:29who can handle the business.
48:30I've always known.
48:31All I ever wanted
48:33was for you to see me
48:34as something more.
48:35To trust me.
48:36Trust you?
48:38When have you done anything
48:39but rely on this family's name?
48:41You've wasted every chance
48:42you've had.
48:44And Maria?
48:46You think she's so perfect?
48:48She bought John.
48:49She paid him to act
48:50like her fiancé.
48:51It's all an act.
48:53And Olivia?
48:55Tell me, Duke.
48:56Who paid her
48:57to play her part in this?
49:10Did you two really think
49:11I wouldn't notice?
49:13You think I'm blind?
49:15You never gave me a chance, Dad.
49:17You always dismissed me
49:18like I was nothing.
49:19Maybe if you'd just had
49:20a little faith.
49:22Just a little.
49:24You'd see maybe
49:25we're not playing games.
49:26Faith.
49:28This little performance
49:29was meant to prove something to me.
49:31You never wanted to see
49:32what we're capable of.
49:34Maria might be desperate.
49:36And I've made mistakes.
49:37But we're not
49:38completely useless.
49:40We're just trying to earn
49:42our place, Father.
49:44You know what?
49:46If that takes more
49:47than you're willing to see
49:50then maybe that's your own fault.
49:52Neither of you deserve a thing.
49:54Maybe it's time I reconsider
49:55what this company truly needs.
50:02Maria's not gonna pay me.
50:04I should've seen this coming.
50:06So what now, Olivia?
50:07What can we do?
50:09There's no we, John.
50:11You know that, right?
50:13What are you on about?
50:14Just yesterday, you and I...
50:15Yesterday was a mistake.
50:18I have a plan and
50:20you're not involved in it.
50:22It's this plan, Olivia.
50:25Why don't we let everyone hear it?
50:28Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:30Maybe it's time I reconsider
50:31what this company truly needs.
50:41Edward,
50:42should we make things clear
50:43for everyone?
50:48I hadn't planned
50:49to announce this today,
50:50but yes,
50:52I've decided not to retire.
50:57You thought I wanted someone
50:58to take over this empire.
51:02No.
51:03I wanted something real.
51:05But with you two,
51:06there's always demands
51:08and expectations.
51:10Never love.
51:13Olivia, was this your plan
51:14all along?
51:16I'm sorry.
51:18I was lost.
51:20Grace leaving,
51:21the divorce,
51:22step away from the company.
51:24I wasn't myself.
51:25Forgive me.
51:27You've been through so much,
51:28it would affect anyone.
51:32But,
51:33before we go any further,
51:35there's something you need to know.
51:38I didn't come here by accident.
51:41To whom?
51:42I didn't come here by accident.
51:45Okay,
51:46what do you mean, Olivia?
51:48Well,
51:50I came here with a plan.
51:52I came here to hurt Maria.
51:55You see,
51:56she paid my boyfriend
51:58one million dollars
51:59to pretend to be her fiancé.
52:07John was your boyfriend.
52:10Maria used my money for this.
52:13Yeah.
52:16But,
52:17somewhere along the line,
52:19my plans all fell apart.
52:23Because I met you.
52:26And,
52:29I think I'm falling for you.
52:35She's using you!
52:36Look, she's nothing!
52:37You're making a mistake!
52:38No, Maria.
52:39The only mistake I made
52:41was thinking you cared about anything
52:42other than my wealth.
52:45Olivia,
52:46she's the only one who's been honest with me.
52:49She sees me for who I really am.
52:52When you looked at him,
52:54all you saw was power,
52:56authority,
52:57someone's use for your gain.
53:01But when I saw him,
53:03I saw a man
53:04searching for love.
53:07I'm ready to give it in return.
53:10Over these past few days,
53:11it's as if I've come back to life again.
53:14Feeling younger than I have in years.
53:17So,
53:18my decision is final.
53:20I'm staying on.
53:22I'm going to lead the company
53:24with Olivia by my side.
53:26Olivia, is this who you really are?
53:29Is this how you take revenge?
53:31You never wanted to know the real me, John.
53:34And that's the real tragedy here.
53:36John, leave.
53:38I've taken enough from this house.
53:49Father,
53:50you're making a fool of yourself.
53:52You know what? You are after one thing.
53:54You're after his money.
53:56Money?
53:57That's all you two ever wanted from me.
54:00She's using you.
54:02She's manipulating you,
54:03and you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:07I see very clearly now.
54:09This family, this house,
54:11you used it like a playground.
54:15This
54:17is my choice.
54:19This is my future.
54:22I'm done living by your expectations.
54:25So, okay, what?
54:26You're going to throw us away?
54:29For her?
54:30No, Maria.
54:31You threw me away long before Olivia came into my life.
54:34So that's it?
54:36You're replacing us with her?
54:39She's nothing, Dad.
54:40She's no family.
54:42Duke,
54:43I didn't need a family.
54:46That's why I'm here.
54:50And you're not.
55:01You're not.
55:02You're not.
