Full Episode of One Million Dollars for One-Night
Transcript
00:00Everything we had, our savings, our family's home.
00:08Help. Please. Here.
00:15One night, one million. No questions. You'll do what I say every second.
00:21I lost everything. A house, savings. No, John. I'm 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 fiance. To be alive and to love.
00:36What do you want? I want revenge.
00:42This is Olivia. She's a master chef. Thought she might bring a little spice to our house.
00:49Careful, you're playing a dangerous game. Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
00:54You know what? It's delicious, Maria.
00:56One day, you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
01:01You dare touch me?
01:02John!
01:03Help. Please.
01:16Help. Please.
01:32Here.
01:32Olivia, please hear me out.
01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe. Passed out on my couch, but safe.
01:56Wait. Who? Who is this? Where's Olivia?
02:01I'll send you the address. Be here soon, or don't come at all.
02:05Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.
02:16Everything we had.
02:17Our savings. Our family's home. How could you risk it all in a single investment?
02:25I thought it was our shot. A chance to finally make something of myself.
02:30Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
02:36I'm willing to help. For a price.
02:41Spend one night with me.
02:46And I'll give you one million dollars.
02:49Sorry, did I hear you right? You want him to spend the night with you for money?
03:00It's just a business arrangement. One night, one million dollars.
03:06And what exactly do you expect from me?
03:09Just one night together. You get what you need, and I get what I want.
03:14You really think we would sell ourselves for this?
03:17Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight. I'll leave you two to think it over.
03:22You can't expect us to just wait here. We're leaving now.
03:25Oh my god, here. A hundred thousand. Just to stay here and think about it.
03:48Dad, I've given my life to this family. To this company. No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
03:56You don't lead people. You control them.
03:58And that's why people respect me.
04:00That's not respect. It's fear.
04:04Look around you. You're alone. No partner. No friends.
04:09If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?
04:22Good evening, Maria. Everything all right?
04:30More than all right. Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about someone.
04:38I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
04:46A fiancé? I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.
04:51Who is he?
04:52He's someone special.
04:55I thought it was time you met him.
04:56Why didn't you arrange a proper introduction? What's the sudden rush?
05:00Timing just felt right. Look, he'll be here soon.
05:13Hey, fiancé. When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:17I don't have time for you. Just watch and learn.
05:22John, do you really think this is the way to fix things?
05:29Selling yourself to that woman?
05:31I'm just trying to make up for the mess I made, Olivia.
05:34And this is just one night. And then we can start over.
05:38You don't get it, do you?
05:40One night isn't going to fix things.
05:43She's not giving you a second chance.
05:47She's taking you away from me.
05:48What choice do I have, Olivia?
05:50Olivia, I lost everything.
05:53Our house, the savings.
05:55No, John. I'm not going through with this.
06:00If you go through with this, you'll lose me for good.
06:06We're out of time. She's here.
06:09Let her in.
06:09I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
06:23So John is your latest hero, huh?
06:26Perfect timing to charm Dad.
06:29Right before the board meeting.
06:30Clever move, Maria.
06:31What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?
06:34Uh, I find it amusing.
06:36Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe you're ready to run the company?
06:44What's going on here?
06:47Just talking about the future.
06:48Yeah. Exciting family plans.
06:50You're gonna love it.
06:51Mmm.
07:02Maria?
07:03Well, you're definitely not Maria.
07:09Who are you?
07:12This is my house.
07:15Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?
07:17A woman brought us here. Isn't this her place?
07:20Yeah.
07:21That sounds like Maria.
07:23Might be her place, yes.
07:25But it's my house now.
07:27She, uh, she made us this crazy offer.
07:30We're just waiting for her to come back.
07:32But who is she? What kind of person does this?
07:34Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.
07:37Once she got her eye on something.
07:40Or someone.
07:43She won't let anything stand in her way.
07:45So this is just a game to her.
07:47It's not a game.
07:49It's how she keeps control.
07:50Once you're in, you're playing by her rules.
07:55So if you're smart, you walk away before she decides you belong to her.
08:12So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
08:14Relax. I've got it all under control.
08:20Time's up.
08:23What's your answer?
08:25Stay away from us.
08:27We're not interested in whatever you're offering.
08:29Oh my god.
08:30Look at you.
08:31Acting like you've got a say in this.
08:34You're out of your league here.
08:35This isn't some street hustle.
08:38Money can't buy everything, you know?
08:40John's staying here with me.
08:42Careful.
08:43You don't have the power to touch me.
08:45In my world, you're nothing.
08:48Is it really one million dollars?
08:54One night.
08:55One million.
08:56No questions.
08:58You'll do what I say every second.
09:05Undress.
09:05Yes.
09:07Now.
09:12Put this on.
09:12You really think this proves something?
09:29Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
09:32It proves I get what I want.
09:36He's not your toy.
09:37And this is desperation.
09:40Not power.
09:41Desperation?
09:43That's the language of losers.
09:48Gone.
09:50Let's finish this show.
09:51Perfect.
10:00Now follow me.
10:08Here.
10:10Do you remember everything I told you?
10:12Yes.
10:13Okay, good.
10:14We need to convince my family that we've been in love for months and are ready to marry.
10:20Okay, only then you'll be off the hook.
10:23I think I can handle it.
10:24No, you don't need to think.
10:26You need to know.
10:27The answers need to come naturally.
10:29Like we've been in love for months.
10:32Okay?
10:36And one more thing.
10:38If you slip up and they see through you, it's game over.
10:46You know what that means?
10:49That means you, Olivia, anything you care about is gone.
10:57There won't be a second chance.
11:00Understand?
11:03Good.
11:04Good.
11:04Good.
11:08So, Gianni, are you in finance?
11:12Mostly investments.
11:14Look for opportunities.
11:16I see.
11:17The Weston family, quite the opportunity, wouldn't you say?
11:20Not everything's business, Duke.
11:24Some things are worth more than money.
11:27Well, it's rare to find somebody who understands that not everything has a price.
11:33Thank you, Grace, and dinner.
11:35It's been incredible.
11:36Oh, don't be too impressed.
11:39It's ordered in.
11:40Nothing special tonight.
11:41So, tell us.
11:44When's the big day?
11:46Soon.
11:47We didn't see the need to wear.
11:49It's a commitment.
11:50Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
11:52Just remember, even love comes with a price in this family.
12:04Gonna grab some fresh air.
12:06And no, I'm not quitting.
12:09Maybe I should get going too.
12:11It's getting late and...
12:12Oh, no, no, no, no.
12:13John's staying.
12:15Isn't that right?
12:16Yes.
12:16Please, there, stay.
12:17You're practically family now.
12:21How about a real drink, John?
12:23Let's see if you can keep up.
12:25Darling, wait.
12:25I'll come with you.
12:28What is this?
12:30Why am I still here?
12:31Because they're not convinced yet.
12:33Especially Duke.
12:35Tonight, we make sure they believe every word of it.
12:39And that means...
12:40showing them just how much we're in love.
12:47This is your family, Marie.
12:48You want them to think we're having some...
12:49John!
12:50Your best is in the car.
12:53Olivia, is it?
12:54Seems she's, like, really eager to reach you.
13:01Duke, just that.
13:02Give me the phone.
13:03Oh, come on, John.
13:04Let's not keep her waiting.
13:06John.
13:07John, please.
13:08Don't let her do this to you.
13:09Don't trust her.
13:11Are you with Laura right now?
13:15Yes.
13:16Yes, I am.
13:17Well, the two of you are still holding on to the past.
13:21John and I, we've moved on.
13:24Maybe it's time you both did the same.
13:27This isn't over.
13:28You won't just push me out of his life.
13:31I know exactly what you're doing.
13:33I think it is over.
13:35Look, John and I, we've chosen each other.
13:39Olivia, I've made my choice.
13:41Maria and I, we're getting married.
13:54I think everything is how we finally see what's left to hold on to.
14:02And what exactly do I have left?
14:06Homeless, alone, broke.
14:09I don't even have a place to stay tonight.
14:12Tonight you stay here.
14:14Get some rest.
14:14And tomorrow, start fresh.
14:17Start fresh?
14:18Do what?
14:20I have nothing left.
14:22Forget them.
14:25Think about yourself, Olivia.
14:27What do you want?
14:30I want revenge.
14:34Then start simple.
14:36Shower and clean up.
14:38Look like you're ready for a fight.
14:42Why are you helping me?
14:43Because I know exactly what it feels like.
14:46To lose everything to Maria.
14:53At the call.
14:55Seems like she's not over you, buddy.
14:57Well, Duke, everyone has a past.
15:01But when you know what you want,
15:03it's easier to leave them behind, right?
15:06Well, speaking of the past,
15:07it wasn't Laurie your shrink.
15:09Father might find it interesting that his future CEO
15:12still needs professional support.
15:14Support?
15:15Maria?
15:16Are you still seeing your therapist?
15:19I thought you were ready to lead, not lean.
15:23Maria, if you're going to lead,
15:25understanding your emotions, your condition, is crucial.
15:30Without it, real connection is impossible.
15:33I don't need connection.
15:34I need control.
15:38Leadership isn't just about control.
15:40It's about empathy, trust, knowing when to rely on others.
15:46Relying on others makes you weak.
15:47And I won't be weak.
15:52Don't worry, father.
15:54I'm not weak.
15:56I'm in control.
15:58Always.
15:58All right, it's been a long night.
16:07I'm going to show John to my room.
16:10Thank you for both having me.
16:11It's been a pleasure.
16:13John, you expect great things.
16:17Welcome to the family, John.
16:18Rest well.
16:21Come on.
16:21Sammo keeps watching.
16:31You'll stay here tonight.
16:33I want you close, okay?
16:34Okay.
16:36He's listening.
16:56You need to keep this up, okay?
16:58Are you okay?
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:15Yeah, John.
17:16Wow, John!
17:18Oh, my God.
17:28Oh, my God, right there.
17:29Yes, John!
17:31Have you never had sex before?
17:34Oh, my God.
17:36Yeah, John, that's so good.
17:38Oh, yeah.
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah, that's good.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
17:45Oh, my God.
17:46Yes.
17:47Oh, my God.
17:47Oh, my God.
17:48Oh, my God.
17:50Oh, my God.
17:52Oh, my God.
18:02Can I ask you something?
18:06Depends.
18:07Will it bore me?
18:09You're stunning, rich, confident.
18:13You could have anyone you wanted.
18:15Why do you pay me to act like your lover?
18:21Because feelings, they come with expectations.
18:26If someone thinks you care, they expect more.
18:29But if you own someone, like I own you, it's easy.
18:36I say goodbye, and it's done.
18:40Are you catching feelings for me?
18:41I hope not, John.
18:45I hope not, John.
18:47That'd be disappointing.
18:57Make yourself comfortable, John.
18:58But not too comfortable, John.
19:26We're not done yet.
19:28Tomorrow's the board meeting.
19:30Father's announcing his retirement.
19:32And if all goes well, I'll be the one he names to lead.
19:34You said this was for just one night.
19:39I'll have you until sunset tomorrow.
19:40Ahem.
19:42Ahem.
20:12Hey, see ya.
20:43Just thought you'd like to know
20:45Father's not feeling that good today. It might have been that dinner last night
20:50Meeting is postponed
21:12You really know how to spoil a good moment. Oh, this isn't a game, Duke. I've seen what you've done
21:29Reckless spending scandals. You're dragging this company down
21:33Now you have a choice
21:35You either step down quietly or I bring these to Edward
21:39We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess what crown you his successor
21:46He'd rather give this place to the janitor than to trust either of us the janitor. Yeah, well at least I'm trying to save
21:52What's left of this family? You don't care about this company Duke
21:56All you care about is the title the image nothing real spare me the lecture Maria
22:03You don't want to save anything. You just want control. You know what if you want to drag yourself down
22:09Go ahead
22:13But I'm not gonna be there to rescue you. I'll keep that in mind dear sister
22:24I heard you postpone the meeting is everything all right nothing serious just a headache
22:29No, I feel my best today
22:31That's exactly why it's time to move forward. Let me take this off your shoulders
22:37You know, there's no one better fit to run the family business
22:40maybe
22:41but let's have this chat another day
22:44Father
22:46Look at me look at me
22:48I'm ready and finally ready
22:50I'm getting married
22:52I'm starting my own family
22:54I know my responsibilities now
22:56Can you at least leave that alone today?
22:58I told you no meetings
23:00Dad's feeling better now
23:02He just needs a day of rest before he's ready to announce his decision
23:06Right dad?
23:08I'm fine
23:10I'm fine
23:12I'm fine
23:14I'm fine
23:15I'm fine
23:42Olivia?
23:43Olivia?
23:45You don't know me, but we gotta talk
23:57Sign it
24:06NDA, what's this for?
24:08But you want your money don't you?
24:10Then sign it
24:11Sign it
24:18Done
24:19Am I free to go now?
24:20Free?
24:21Oh no, you're not free John
24:23We had a deal, remember?
24:25A deal was for one night, Maria
24:27One night
24:29Yeah, it was one night
24:32But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday
24:35Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple
24:38You're not going anywhere John
24:40Not until you convince everyone that we are in love
24:43And by the time we're done
24:46Even you might believe it
24:48Even you might believe it
24:49Now I understand John's poor judgment
25:01Only a fool will leave you behind
25:04And who exactly are you?
25:06I believe it
25:07I believe you met my sister
25:08Maria
25:09I'm Duke
25:10Then listen carefully
25:12I'm gonna destroy John
25:14And her
25:15So if you're here to get in my way
25:16I wouldn't dream of it
25:17I wouldn't dream of it
25:18As a matter of fact
25:19I plan to enjoy it every second
25:21And why would you want to tear down your own sister?
25:24And how exactly are we going to do that?
25:27You see, Maria believes she owns everyone
25:31Even her own family
25:32But without that control she's got nothing
25:35All we gotta do is to pull the rug from under her
25:39She'll slowly fall apart
25:42So we just sit back and watch?
25:44Exactly
25:45No boat moves, no confrontations
25:48Just time
25:50Maria can be her worst enemy given the right push
25:54And where do I fit into all of this?
25:58Let's just say that, uh
26:01I could use a motivator in my life
26:06Olivia, are you looking for a job?
26:11So, John
26:13How did you and my daughter cross paths?
26:16Paris
26:17Just two months ago
26:18By this end
26:20I like fate
26:22Seemed so sudden
26:23What's with the
26:24Big rush?
26:26Father
26:27Do you remember you told me something about love?
26:29Not needing
26:30Explanations
26:31Or definitions
26:34You said love was like
26:35Being alive
26:38You know when you are
26:39And you know when you're not
26:44That's how I knew
26:47I was alive
26:48After all these years
26:50To be alive
26:51To be alive
26:52And to love
26:53Hope we're not too late to join the celebrations
27:03Well Duke
27:04Aren't you gonna introduce us to your lovely guest?
27:07This is Olivia
27:09She's a master chef
27:11Thought she might bring a little spice to our house
27:14Is that really necessary?
27:15Don't we have all the help we need?
27:17Oh nonsense
27:18It's a splendid idea
27:20You're very welcome here
27:21Thank you Mr. Weston
27:23I'll be sure to make myself
27:25Useful

28:09Making myself at home?
28:11That dress
28:12That's Laura's
28:15Oh this?
28:17Yeah she was kind enough to let me borrow it
28:20Generous isn't she?
28:22Generous?
28:24She bought that dress with my money
28:26That dress doesn't belong to you
28:29Just like this life doesn't
28:32Take it off
28:33Now
28:34You'll have to rip it off me first
28:43You're pathetic
28:45All this power
28:46All this wealth
28:47And you still can't stand someone challenging you Maria
28:51Challenging me?
28:53Challenge me all you want
28:55But when you fall again
28:57And you will fall
28:59Don't expect me to help you up
29:00Again
29:02Help
29:04Please
29:05Help
29:06Please
29:12We'll see who loses Maria
29:14Enjoy your borrowed life
29:16Cause it's not gonna last
29:17Cause it's not gonna last
29:21Oh
29:22And next time?
29:23I won't be so polite
29:24Did you make these yourself?
29:25Yes sir
29:41Thought a little something homemade might brighten the morning
29:44Well mission accomplished
29:46Please sit Olivia
29:47You deserve a break
29:49Thank you it's nice to feel appreciated around here
29:51You know this house isn't so easy
29:52What is that?
29:53Is it the room?
29:54I can arrange something bigger if you like
29:55No it's not the room or anything like that
29:57It's just the way things are
29:58You know I didn't grow up with all this money and power
30:00My family were just simple people
30:02You think I was born into this life?
30:04No
30:05I had to build it
30:07Piece by piece
30:09Is it the room? I can arrange something bigger, if you like.
30:12No, it's not the room or anything like that.
30:14It's just the way things are.
30:17You know, I didn't grow up with all this money and power.
30:21My family were just simple people.
30:23You think I was born into this life?
30:26No. I had to build it, piece by piece.
30:30That's why it hurt so much, saying my kids,
30:32they never had to fight for anything.
30:34The other day, Maria, she told me I stink of poverty.
30:43She can't even look at me without disgust.
30:45Olivia, this is my house.
30:48If anyone in this family doesn't like it, they're free to leave.
31:00I couldn't stop thinking about you.
31:02Didn't know where you were.
31:03If you're all right.
31:05Where was I?
31:07After you left me?
31:10Broke, homeless, alone.
31:13I stared where I could.
31:15But don't worry.
31:17I didn't sell myself, if that's what you were wondering.
31:20Olivia, please.
31:21I know I hurt you, but it's not what you think.
31:24Just give me a chance to explain.
31:27I chose money over me, John.
31:28And died.
31:31I can't just forget.
31:33You know I love you, right?
31:36Please don't forget that.
31:38I'll be done with this game soon, and then we can leave together.
31:42I promise.
31:48John!
31:48Get your hands off her now!
31:50You're set to marry my daughter.
31:59Yet here you are with another woman under my roof.
32:03It's not what it looks like.
32:04I knew Olivia from before.
32:07From before?
32:08From where exactly?
32:09Mr. Weston.
32:11I don't know who he is.
32:12He's just a stranger to me.
32:17Okay, I'm trying to understand what Maria sees in you.
32:19Or if she's seen clearly at all.
32:21Look, Dad.
32:22John and I are going to handle this privately.
32:25Aren't we, John?
32:26Let's go.
32:27John, you cross this line again.
32:30You'll get within a mile of this family.
32:32Are we clear?
32:33Do you have any idea what you've done?
32:46Everyone is suspicious now.
32:48We had a plan, and you managed to ruin it in one day.
32:52Maybe you shouldn't have relied on a plan so fragile that a single mistake could break it.
32:57You're here because you're supposed to follow orders, not question me.
33:03Do your job.
33:05Prove your worth.
33:06And then you'll get your money.
33:08Money?
33:09Right.
33:10But let's be real, Maria.
33:11If your father doesn't choose you, you've got nothing to give me, do you?
33:16So what's the backup plan?
33:20Because from where I'm standing, you're not in as control as you think.
33:24Don't push me, John.
33:25You're here because when you signed that paper, you gave away any control you had.
33:29In fact, you handed me the keys to your life.
33:35If you fail me, I'll make sure that you lose everything.
33:41Even the things you didn't know you had left.
33:44So go ahead.
33:46Test me if you want.
33:47But if I were you, I'd start thinking about the price of obedience.
33:58You know, Olivia, you're playing your part beautifully.
34:02But remember, you're here to do a job, not to get cozy with my father.
34:05I'm here to do exactly what I was brought here to do, Duke.
34:15But I think I'm going to do it my way, not yours.
34:18Careful, Olivia.
34:20Don't think you're running the show here.
34:24This is my house, and remember, I brought you here.
34:27Maybe so.
34:29But while I'm here, this is my room.
34:32And you're not welcome in it.
34:34Yeah?
34:35If I decide to stay...
34:39Then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you.
34:43You see, he knows something about dignity.
34:47Clearly something you've never learned.
34:50You think his protection will keep you safe here?
34:54Mr. Weston let me in here.
34:57And you see, he's the one calling the shots.
35:01Not you.
35:05Olivia, you bring something to this house I thought I'd lost.
35:14Really, Mr. Weston?
35:18I think we're well past Mr. Weston now, don't you?
35:22All right, Edward.
35:26I find myself looking forward to each day, knowing I'll see you.
35:32Edward, I didn't expect.
35:34I mean, like, I never thought that...
35:37Sometimes, words just get in the way.
35:40How could you?
35:51After all these years?
35:57I can't do this anymore.
36:04I'll have my lawyer sign the papers.
36:06Mom, don't do this.
36:23Don't let her push you out.
36:26If anyone should be leaving, it's her.
36:28Oh, my baby girl.
36:31This is not about her.
36:33This is about your father.
36:35He's searching for something else.
36:37And I'm tired of being the one waiting.
36:40Stay then.
36:42Let him see what he's giving up.
36:44Show him that you're the one holding us together.
36:46I tried.
36:47I tried for so many years.
36:50But no matter how much love I gave,
36:52it was never enough to feel the emptiness in him.
36:55Please, take care of each other.
37:07And don't ever think you are not enough.
37:10Are you going to say goodbye to her?
37:31Grace made her choice.
37:32There's nothing more to say.
37:33So, how are things going to be now?
37:38Between us, I mean.
37:40This isn't the time for that discussion.
37:43Is that your way of saying you regret this?
37:46Are you blaming me?
37:47No.
37:48It was bound to happen.
37:50Grace was always looking for an excuse to leave.
37:52Oh, so I'm just an excuse.
37:58That's it.
37:59Fairytale's over.
38:00Cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen.
38:10I'm going to ask you this once.
38:12What did you do to my mother?
38:16Nothing.
38:18Maybe she just finally had enough.
38:21Watching her own children turn out to be such disappointment.
38:24Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.
38:26In this house, you're going to get eaten up alive.
38:30And you'll be left with nothing.
38:32Nothing?
38:33Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
38:37And you know what?
38:39It's delicious, Maria.
38:41Okay.
38:42What, you think throwing yourself at him gives you power?
38:45It only proves what everyone already sees.
38:47A woman so desperate, she'll hang on to any man with a pulse and a dollar.
38:53At least I didn't have to write a check just to make me feel wanted.
38:57You see, that's the difference between us, Maria.
39:01Yeah, we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
39:03Because once my father sees who you really are, he'll throw you out with the rest of the trash.
39:10Stay away from my father.
39:12And stay the hell out of my life.
39:15Got it.
39:17Got it.
39:45John, have you lost your mind?
39:56What are you doing here?
39:57Just give me a minute, please.
40:03What are you really doing here?
40:05What's the plan?
40:06I'm here to keep my promise, John.
40:09To make sure you regret every moment.
40:12Olivia.
40:20Olivia, this doesn't have to be about revenge.
40:23I'm here for the money.
40:24For us.
40:26Help me and we can leave this together.
40:30You left me, John.
40:32You broke me.
40:34You broke us.
40:36And now you're all wrapped up in Maria's lies.
40:40I've made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you.
40:43Not for one second.
40:48You think you can just pick up the pieces?
40:50It's not that simple, John.
40:53Not all wounds can just heal.
40:56Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece if I could still help you.
41:06Maria?
41:08Do I really need to remind you who wins you?
41:25If you want your money, you're going to stay in your role.
41:31And if you think you're coming into my bed again, you're going to stay away from this.
41:39You really think you can still buy everything?
41:41It's actually amusing how little it costs to make them forget you.
41:45Maria, that's not...
41:46Look.
41:47Either you're going to take the life I'm giving you, or you're going to throw it away.
41:53For...
41:54Her.
41:55Choose wisely.
42:12Everything's falling apart.
42:14If I don't find a way to stay in this game, Maria will toss me out without a cent.
42:19Why do you still care about Maria's money?
42:21It's not even hers, it's her father's.
42:23Look, maybe we should play by his rules, not hers.
42:28Why would he give me a million dollars?
42:30Edward doesn't care about me.
42:32Not one bit.
42:33No, he doesn't care about you.
42:36But he does have other interests.
42:40Don't even think about it, Olivia.
42:42Edward's just another rich man who gets bored easily.
42:46He'll use you up and throw you out like you're nothing.
42:49Isn't that why we're here?
42:51For the money?
42:52Let me handle this.
42:56Don't play games with these people.
42:59We'll figure it out.
43:02Tomorrow.
43:02Maria.
43:14Maria.
43:14Edward?
43:16Maria, do you know what a lexithymia is?
43:34It's when someone can truly feel or express their emotions like others do.
43:39For you it means you may never know what love really is.
43:45And what exactly is love?
43:48Love is a connection beyond reason.
43:52It's that force that draws you in even when you try to resist.
43:57It makes you care beyond reason.
44:01Then it sounds unnecessary. I don't need it.
44:05You're a remarkable woman Maria.
44:08It's a shame. Someone like you might never know what it's like to love.
44:15We'll be loved.
44:20Maria?
44:22Wait, tell me, John.
44:25What is love?
44:28I don't know. It's not something you say. It's something you feel.
44:37Did you feel it? Did you feel love?
44:50Is this partly game or is this?
44:52What did it feel like with Olivia? When you touched her? When you kissed her?
44:57It's like everything fades. It's just her. The way she laughs. The way she smells.
45:05Tie this over your eyes.
45:08Now touch me. Touch me as if I'm her.
45:21That's enough. I don't have time for fantasies.
45:36Come on, get up. We have work to do.
45:39Good morning, John. Decided to join us, I see.
45:58Look, Father, I was saying, now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family competition.
46:04It's tearing us all apart.
46:06So you're finally giving up?
46:08Well, if it means peace, then yes.
46:13Give Duke the title, if you think he's earned it.
46:16It's not likely to surrender, Maria.
46:19What's behind the change of heart?
46:21Letting go doesn't mean that I've lost.
46:23It just means that I'm faking my battles. That's all.
46:27You know what, Maria? Enjoy your last days here.
46:31Because once I'm in charge, this whole empire is going to look a lot different.
46:36Is that a threat, Duke?
46:38One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
46:42So I overheard the conversation. That means we won, right?
46:57Oh, Olivia!
47:01She won again!
47:02But you're the CEO. She's out.
47:04Isn't that what you really wanted?
47:06Do you think that this is what I wanted?
47:09Business reports, boardroom meetings.
47:11This was always her dream, not mine.
47:14Then what do you really want?
47:17To be seen.
47:19To have my father look at me just once.
47:22And tell me that he's proud.
47:24That's gone now. She took it from me.
47:28Oh, Duke. Something the matter?
47:31You don't look like a man who just got everything he wanted.
47:33You never wanted me to have this.
47:35I just wanted to win.
47:37Yeah, you know, if you were looking for dad's approval,
47:40you were always going to be disappointed.
47:42Because you know there was always one favorite.
47:44And guess what?
47:46It wasn't you.
47:54Hey, you dare touch me?
47:56Do you really get your kicks tearing down people?
47:59Even your own family?
48:00Oh, please. Duke's life's been falling apart for years.
48:03My help's hardly needed.
48:05You tear people down just to make yourself feel powerful.
48:08But guess what?
48:09It's all slipping through your fingers now, isn't it, Maria?
48:12You're stepping out of line. Back.
48:14Remember where you are and who you're dealing with.
48:17Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with.
48:20And I pity you.
48:23If you're all alone, you're too proud to even see it.
48:26Maria, Edward knows. Duke's telling him everything.
48:30Right now!
48:34Dad, please just listen to me.
48:36I don't have time for this, Duke.
48:38Save the drama. I have a company to run.
48:40No, you're going to hear me now.
48:42I know that Maria's the one who can handle the business.
48:45I've always known.
48:46All I ever wanted was for you to see me as something more.
48:51To trust me.
48:52Trust you?
48:53When have you done anything but rely on this family's name?
48:56You've wasted every chance you've had.
48:59And Maria?
49:01You think she's so perfect?
49:03She bought John.
49:05She paid him to act like her fiancé. It's all an act.
49:08And Olivia?
49:10Tell me, Duke.
49:12Who paid her to play her part in this?
49:26Did you two really think I wouldn't notice?
49:29You think I'm blind?
49:31You never gave me a chance, Dad.
49:33You always dismissed me like I was nothing.
49:34Maybe if you had just had a little thing, just a little, you'd see maybe we're not playing games.
49:42Faith, this little performance was meant to prove something to me.
49:46You never wanted to see what we're capable of.
49:49Maria might be desperate and I've made mistakes, but we're not completely useless.
49:55We're just trying to earn our place, Father.
49:59You know what?
50:00If that takes more than you're willing to see, then maybe that's your own fault.
50:07Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:09Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:17Maria's not gonna pay me.
50:19I should have seen this coming.
50:21So what now, Olivia? What can we do?
50:24There's no we, John. You know that, right?
50:27What are you on about? Just yesterday, you and I...
50:31Yesterday was a mistake.
50:33I have a plan and you're not involved in it.
50:37It's this plan, Olivia.
50:40Why don't we let everyone hear it?
50:43Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:45Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:48Edward, should we make things clear for everyone?
50:58I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes, I've decided not to retire.
51:01You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire. No. I wanted something real.
51:07But with you two, there's always demands, expectations, never love.
51:10Olivia, was this your plan all along?
51:11I'm sorry. I was lost.
51:12I was lost.
51:13I was lost.
51:14Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
51:15I was lost.
51:16Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
51:17I was lost.
51:18You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.
51:19No.
51:20I wanted something real.
51:23But with you two, there's always demands, expectations, never love.
51:30Olivia, was this your plan all along?
51:35I'm sorry.
51:38I was lost.
51:40Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
51:43I wasn't myself.
51:44Forgive me.
51:46You've been through so much, it would affect anyone.
51:52But before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
51:57I didn't come here by accident.
52:00Okay.
52:01What do you mean, Olivia?
52:03Well, I came here with a plan.
52:08I came here to hurt Maria.
52:10You see, she paid my boyfriend one million dollars to pretend to be her fiancé.
52:16John was your boyfriend.
52:17Maria used my money for this.
52:18Yeah.
52:19But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.
52:21Because I met you.
52:22And...
52:23I think I'm falling for you.
52:24I think I'm falling for you.
52:26She's using you!
52:27Look, she's nothing!
52:28You're making a mistake!
52:29You're making a mistake!
52:30No, Maria.
52:31The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wife.
52:32She's using you!
52:33Look, she's nothing!
52:34You're making a mistake!
52:35But from me, I think it's the only thing I've been doing.
52:36But I don't know, Maria.
52:38But unfortunately, I've always made a mistake of being a friend.
52:39And I'm fighting for you.
52:40You're making a mistake.
52:41My plans all fell apart.
52:42Because I met you.
52:43And...
52:44And...
52:45I think I'm falling for you.
52:51She's using you!
52:52Look, she's nothing!
52:53You're making a mistake!
52:54No, Maria.
52:55The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wealth.
53:00Oh, God.
53:01Olivia, she's the only one who's been honest with me.
53:05She sees me for who I really am.
53:09When you looked at him, all you saw was power, authority, someone to use for your gain.
53:17But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love and ready to give it in return.
53:26Over these past few days, it's as if I've come back to life again, feeling younger than I have in years.
53:31So, my decision is final.
53:36I'm staying on. I'm going to lead the company with Olivia by my side.
53:42Olivia, is this who you really are? Is this how you take revenge?
53:47You never wanted to know the real me, John.
53:50And that's the real tragedy here.
53:53John, leave. I've taken enough from this house.
54:01Father, you're making a fool of yourself.
54:09You know what? You are after one thing. You're after his money.
54:12Money? That's all you two ever wanted from me.
54:17She's using you. She's manipulating you.
54:20And you're two blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:23I see very clearly now.
54:25This family, this house, you used it like a playground.
54:29This is my choice.
54:35This is my future.
54:38I'm done living by your expectations.
54:41So, okay, what?
54:43You're going to throw us away?
54:45For her?
54:46No, Maria.
54:47You threw me away long before Olivia came into my life.
54:50So, that's it?
54:52You're replacing us with her?
54:55She's nothing, Dad.
54:56She's no family.
54:58Duke, I didn't need a family.
55:02That's why I'm here.
55:06And you're not.
55:07You're not.
55:08You're not.
55:09You're not.
55:09You're not.
55:09You're not.
55:10You're not.
55:10You're not.
55:10You're not.
55:11You're not.
55:12You're not.
55:12You're not.
55:12You're not.
55:13You're not.
55:14You're not.
55:14You're not.
55:14You're not.
55:15You're not.
55:15You're not.
55:16You're not.
55:16You're not.
55:16You're not.
55:17You're not.
55:17You're not.
55:18You're not.
55:19You're not.
55:19You're not.
55:19You're not.
55:20You're not.
55:20You're not.
55:21You're not.
55:21You're not.
55:22You're not.
55:22You're not.
55:23You're not.
55:23You're not.
55:24You're not.
55:24You're not.
