Short filmTranscript
00:01Everything we had, our savings, our family's home.
00:09Help. Please.
00:11Here.
00:16One night, one million. No questions.
00:19You'll do what I say every second.
00:21I lost everything. Our house, our savings.
00:24No, John. I'm not going through with this.
00:27If you're going 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 do you want?
00:39I want revenge.
00:42This is Olivia. She's a master chef.
00:45Thought she might bring a little spice to her house.
00:49Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.
00:51I 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?
01:03John!
01:04Help.
01:05Please.
01:06Here.
01:07Help.
01:08Please.
01:09Here.
01:10Help.
01:11Please.
01:12Here.
01:13Help.
01:16Help.
01:29Please.
01:30Here.
01:31Here.
01:47Olivia, please hear me out.
01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe.
01:53Passed out on my couch, but safe.
01:57Wait, who, who is this?
02:00Where's Olivia?
02:01I'll send you the address.
02:03Be here soon, or don't come at all.
02:13Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.
02:16Everything we had.
02:18Our savings.
02:20Our family's home.
02:22How could you risk it all in a single investment?
02:25I thought it was our shot.
02:27A chance to finally make something of myself.
02:30Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
02:36I'm willing to help.
02:38For a price.
02:41Spend one night with me.
02:46And I'll give you...
02:48One million dollars.
02:49Sorry.
02:55Did I hear you right?
02:57You want him to spend the night with you for money?
03:00It's just a business arrangement.
03:03One night.
03:04One million dollars.
03:06And, uh, what exactly do you expect from me?
03:10Just one night together.
03:11You get what you need.
03:13And 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.
03:19I'll leave you two to think it over.
03:22You can't expect us to just wait here.
03:24We're leaving now.
03:25Oh my God, here.
03:27A hundred thousand.
03:29Just to stay here and think about it.
03:31Dad, I've given my life to this family.
03:51To this company.
03:53No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
03:55You don't lead people.
03:57You control them.
03:59And that's why people respect me.
04:01That's not respect.
04:02It's fear.
04:04Look around you.
04:05You're alone.
04:07No partner.
04:08No friends.
04:10If you can't build a family,
04:11how can you run our family business?
04:13Good evening, Maria.
04:28Everything all right?
04:30More than all right.
04:32Actually,
04:33I wanted to talk to you both
04:36about someone.
04:38I'd like you to meet my fiancée.
04:46A fiancée?
04:48I 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?
04:59What's the sudden rush?
05:01Timing just felt right.
05:03Look, he'll be here soon.
05:04Hey, fiancée.
05:14When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:17I don't have time for you.
05:18Just watch and learn.
05:25John,
05:26do 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.
05:36And 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.
05:46She's taking you away from me.
05:48What choice do I have, Olivia?
05:50I lost everything.
05:53Our house.
05:55Our savings.
05:56No, John.
05:57I'm not going through with this.
05:58If you go through with this,
06:02you'll lose me for good.
06:06We're out of time.
06:08She's here.
06:09Let her in.
06:10I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
06:14So, John is your latest hero, huh?
06:26Perfect timing to charm Dad.
06:29Right before the board meeting.
06:31Clever move, Maria.
06:32What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?
06:35I 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.
06:49Exciting family plans.
06:51You're going to love it.
07:03Maria?
07:07Well, you're definitely not Maria.
07:10Who are you?
07:12This is my house.
07:15Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?
07:17A woman brought us here.
07:19Isn'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?
07:33What 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.
07:51Once 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.
08:01So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
08:15Relax.
08:16I've got it all under control.
08:22Time'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.
08:32Acting like you've got a say in this.
08:34If you're out of your league here, this isn't some street hustle.
08:38Money can't buy everything, you know?
08:39John'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?
08:52One night.
08:56One million.
08:57No questions.
08:58You'll do what I say every second.
09:01Undress.
09:06Now.
09:11Put this on.
09:26You really think this proves something?
09:28Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
09:32It proves I get what I want.
09:36He's not your toy.
09:38And this is desperation.
09:40Not power.
09:41Desperation?
09:43That's the language of losers.
09:48God.
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?
10:33And one more thing.
10:38If you slip up and they see through you, it's game over.
10:46You know what that means?
10:47That means you, Olivia, anything you care about is gone.
10:57There won't be a second chance.
11:00Understand?
11:03Good.
11:08So, Gianni, are you in finance?
11:12Mostly investments.
11:14Look for opportunities.
11:16I see.
11:16The Western family, quite the opportunity, wouldn't you say?
11:21Not 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.
11:34And dinner, it's been incredible.
11:37Oh, don't be too impressed.
11:39It's ordered in.
11:40Nothing special tonight.
11:43So, tell us.
11:44When's the big day?
11:46Soon.
11:47We didn't see the need to wait.
11:50It's a commitment.
11:51Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
11:55Mm-hmm.
11:55Just remember, even love comes with a price in this family.
12:04Gonna grab some fresh air.
12:06And no, I'm not quitting.
12:07Maybe I should get going, too.
12:09Maybe I should get going, too.
12:11It's getting late, and...
12:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, John's staying.
12:15Isn't that right?
12:16Yes, please, dear, stay.
12:18You're practically family now.
12:19No.
12:20How about a real drink, John?
12:22Let's see if we can keep up.
12:24Mm-hmm.
12:24Don't think we can come with you.
12:26Yeah.
12:26What is this?
12:29Oh, why 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...
12:41Showing them just how much we're in love.
12:46This is your family, Marie.
12:48You want them to think we're having some...
12:49John!
12:50We left this 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?
13:13Yes, yes, I am.
13:17Well, the two of you are still holding on to the past.
13:22John and I, we've moved on.
13:25Maybe it's time you both did the same.
13:27This isn't over.
13:28You won't just push me out of his life.
13:30I know exactly what you're doing.
13:33I think it is over.
13:35But John and I, we've chosen each other.
13:39Olivia, I've made my choice.
13:43Maria and I, we're getting married.
13:58Sometimes, losing everything is how we finally see what's left to hold on to.
14:03And what exactly do I have left?
14:06Homeless, alone, broke.
14:10I don't even have a place to stay tonight.
14:12Tonight, you stay here.
14:14Get some rest.
14:15And tomorrow, start fresh.
14:18Start fresh?
14:20Do what?
14:21I have nothing left.
14:24Forget then.
14:25Think about yourself, Olivia.
14:27What do you want?
14:30I want revenge.
14:33Then start simple.
14:36Shower and clean up.
14:38Look like you're ready for a fight.
14:40Why are you helping me?
14:43Because I know exactly what it feels like to lose everything to Maria.
14:53At the call.
14:55Seems like she's not over you, buddy.
14:58Oh, Duke.
14:58Everyone has a past.
14:59Everyone has a past.
15:01But when you know what you want, it's easier to leave them behind.
15:05Right?
15:06Well, speaking of the past, what was on, Laurie, your shrink?
15:09Father might find it interesting that his future CEO still needs professional support.
15:14Support, Maria, are you still seeing your therapist?
15:18I thought you were ready to lead, not lean.
15:23Maria, if you're going to lead, understanding your emotions, your condition, is crucial.
15:30Without it, real connection is impossible.
15:32I don't need connection.
15:36I 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.
15:49And I won't be weak.
15:52Don't worry, Father.
15:54I'm not weak.
15:56I'm in control.
15:58Always.
15:59Always.
15:59Always.
16:02All right.
16:06It's been a long night.
16:07I'm going to show John to my room.
16:10Thank you for both having me.
16:12It's been a pleasure.
16:13John, you expect great things.
16:17Welcome to the family, John.
16:19Rest well.
16:21Come on.
16:27Say hello.
16:28Keep watching.
16:29You'll stay here tonight.
16:33I want you close, okay?
16:54He's listening.
16:55You need to keep this up, okay?
17:06Are you okay?
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:15Yeah, John.
17:16Wow.
17:17John!
17:18Oh, my God.
17:28Oh, my God.
17:29Right there.
17:29Yes, John!
17:32Have you never had sex before?
17:34Oh, my God.
17:36Yeah, John.
17:38That's so good.
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:41That's good.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
17:44Oh, my God.
17:46Yes.
17:46Can I ask you something?
18:07Depends.
18:07Will it bore me?
18:08You're stunning, rich, confident.
18:13You could have anyone you wanted.
18:16Why would 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?
18:45I hope not, John.
18:47That'd be disappointing.
18:48Make yourself comfortable, John.
18:59But not too comfortable, John.
19:26We're not done yet.
19:27Tomorrow's the board meeting.
19:30Father's announcing his retirement, and if all goes well, I'll be the one he names to lead.
19:36You said this was for just one night.
19:39I have you until sunset tomorrow.
19:40I have you until Tuesday, and Matt.
19:52I forgot this.
19:53I hate you.
19:54I wanna be the one you should know.
19:56I'm afraid you're lâmpside.
19:57I'm sorry.
19:59You heard you.
20:00I'm sure you're lonely.
20:02I knew your love, no you're hopeless.
20:03You're okay.
20:03You're okay.
20:05I'm afraid of you.
20:06Get out of her.
20:07No way.
20:39Hey, sis. Just thought you'd like to know. Father's not feeling that good today. Might have been that dinner last night. Meeting is postponed.
21:09You really know how to spoil a good moment.
21:26This isn't a game, Duke. I've seen what you've done. Reckless spending, scandals. You're dragging this company down. Now you have a choice. You either step down quietly or I bring these to Edward. We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess.
21:44What? Crown you his successor? He'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 what's left of this family. You don't care about this company, Duke. All you care about is the title, the image. Nothing real.
22:01Spare me the lecture, Maria. You don't want to save anything. You just want control.
22:06You know what? If you want to drag yourself down, go ahead.
22:13But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.
22:15I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.
22:17I heard you postponed the meeting. Is everything all right?
22:27Nothing serious. Just a headache.
22:31I'm not feeling my best today.
22:32That's exactly why it's time to move forward.
22:35Let me take this off your shoulders.
22:37You know there's no one better fit to run the family business.
22:40Maybe.
22:42But let's have this chat another day.
22:44Father, look at me. Look at me.
22:49I'm ready. I'm finally ready.
22:51I'm getting married.
22:53I'm starting my own family.
22:55I know my responsibilities now.
22:57Can you at least leave Dad alone today?
23:00I told you, no meetings.
23:02Dad's feeling better now.
23:04He just needs a day of rest before he's ready to announce his decision.
23:08Right, Dad?
23:10I'm fine.
23:14Olivia?
23:43Olivia?
23:43You don't know me, but we've got to talk.
23:58Sign it.
24:07NDA, what's this for?
24:09You want your money, don't you?
24:11Then sign it.
24:11Done.
24:20Am I free to go now?
24:21Free?
24:22Oh no, you're not free, John.
24:24We had a deal, remember?
24:26Our deal was for one night, Maria.
24:28One night.
24:31Yeah, it was one night.
24:33But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.
24:36Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple.
24:38You're not going anywhere, John.
24:41Not until you convince everyone that we are in love.
24:45And by the time we're done,
24:47even you might believe it.
24:49Now I understand John's poor judgment.
25:01Only a fool will leave you behind.
25:05And who exactly are you?
25:06I believe you met my sister, Maria.
25:09I'm Duke.
25:10Then listen carefully.
25:12I'm going to destroy John and her.
25:15So if you're here to get in my way...
25:17I wouldn't dream of it.
25:18As a matter of fact, I plan to enjoy it for a second.
25:21And why would you want to tear down your own sister?
25:24And how exactly are we going to do that?
25:28You see, Maria believes she owns everyone.
25:32Even her own family.
25:33But without that control, she's got nothing.
25:36All we got to do...
25:38Is to pull the rug from under her.
25:40She'll slowly fall apart.
25:43So we just sit back and watch?
25:45Exactly.
25:46No both moves, no confrontations.
25:49Just time.
25:51Maria 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...
26:00I could use some motivating, am I?
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.
26:22Seems so sudden.
26:23What's with the big rush?
26:26Father.
26:27Do you remember you told me something about love?
26:30Not needing explanations or definitions.
26:34You said love was like being alive.
26:38You know when you are, and you know when you're not.
26:44That's how I knew.
26:47I was alive.
26:49After all these years.
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 going to 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?
27:18Oh, nonsense.
27:19It's a splendid idea.
27:20You're very welcome here.
27:22Thank you, Mr. Weston.
27:23I'll be sure to make myself useful.
27:27And of course, to review, Miss Maria.
27:33And you must be John?
27:36I'm Olivia.
27:37Ah, Grace.
27:41There you are, darling.
27:42Meet Olivia, our new chef.
27:45She's going to be staying with us for a while.
27:47Ooh, isn't this cozy?
27:49One big happy family.
27:52Two new beginnings, then.
27:53All right.
28:04Drop the act.
28:05What are you doing here?
28:07Isn't it obvious?
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.
28:21Generous, isn't she?
28:22Generous.
28:23She bought that dress with my money.
28:27That dress doesn't belong to you.
28:29Just like this life doesn't.
28:32Take it off.
28:34Now.
28:35You'll have to rip it off me first.
28:43You're pathetic.
28:45All this power, all this wealth.
28:48And you still can't stand someone challenging you, Maria.
28:51You're challenging me.
28:53You'll challenge me all you want.
28:55But when you fall again, and you will fall,
28:59don't expect me to help you up.
29:02Again.
29:04Help.
29:05Please.
29:06Please.
29:06We'll see who loses Maria.
29:15Enjoy your borrowed life.
29:17Because it's not going to last.
29:21Oh.
29:22And next time?
29:23I won't be so polite.
29:25Did you make these yourself?
29:51Yes, sir.
29:53Thought a little something homemade might brighten the morning.
29:56Well, mission accomplished.
29:58Please, sit, Olivia.
30:00You deserve a break.
30:03It's nice to feel appreciated around here.
30:05You know, this house isn't so easy.
30:09What is that?
30:10Is it the room?
30:10I can arrange something bigger for your life.
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.
30:20My family were just simple people.
30:23You think I was born into this life?
30:26No.
30:27I had to build it.
30:29Piece by piece.
30:30That's why it hurt so much to say my kids,
30:32they never had to fight for anything.
30:37The other day, Maria,
30:39she told me I stink of poverty.
30:43She can't even look at me without disgust.
30:46Olivia, this is my house.
30:47If anyone in this family doesn't like it,
30:50they're free to leave.
31:00I couldn't stop thinking about you.
31:02Didn't know where you were.
31:04Were you all right?
31:05Where was I?
31:07After you left me?
31:10Broke?
31:11Homeless?
31:12Alone?
31:14I stared where I could.
31:15But don't worry.
31:16I didn't sell myself,
31:19if that's what you were wondering.
31:20Olivia, please.
31:21I know I hurt you,
31:22but it's not what you think.
31:24Just give me a chance to explain.
31:27You chose money over me, John.
31:30And that...
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,
31:40and then we can leave together.
31:41I promise.
31:43I promise.
31:43I promise.
31:46John!
31:48Get your hands off her now.
31:57You're set to marry my daughter,
31:59yet here you are
32:00with another woman
32:01under my roof.
32:03It's not what it looks like.
32:06I 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
32:18what Maria sees in you,
32:19or if she's seen clearly at all.
32:21Look, Dad.
32:22John and I
32:23are going to handle this privately.
32:25Aren't we, John?
32:26Let's go.
32:27John,
32:28you cross this line again,
32:30you won't get within a mile
32:31of this family.
32:32Are we clear?
32:33Do you have any idea
32:45what you've done?
32:46Everyone is suspicious now.
32:48We had a plan,
32:49and you managed to ruin it
32:50in one day.
32:52Maybe you shouldn't have relied
32:53on a plan so fragile
32:54that a single mistake
32:56could break it.
32:57You're here
32:57because you're supposed
32:58to follow orders,
33:01not 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,
33:14you've got nothing to give me,
33:15do you?
33:18So what's the backup plan?
33:20Because from where I'm standing,
33:22you're not in his control
33:23as you think.
33:24Don't push me, John.
33:25You're here because
33:26when you signed that paper,
33:27you gave away any control you had.
33:30In fact,
33:31you handed me the keys
33:33to your life.
33:35If you fail me,
33:37I'll make sure
33:38that you lose
33:39everything.
33:41Even the things
33:42you didn't know
33:42you had left.
33:44So go ahead.
33:46Test me if you want.
33:48But if I were you,
33:50I'd start thinking about
33:51the price
33:52of obedience.
33:53You know, Olivia,
33:59you're playing your part
34:01beautifully.
34:03But remember,
34:03you're here to do a job
34:04not to get cozy
34:05with my father.
34:06I'm here to do exactly
34:11what I was brought here
34:12to do, Duke.
34:15But I think
34:16I'm going to do it
34:16my way,
34:17not yours.
34:18Careful, Olivia.
34:20Don't think you're
34:21running the show here.
34:24This is my house
34:25and remember,
34:26I brought you here.
34:28Maybe so.
34:29But while I'm here,
34:30this is my room
34:31and you're not
34:33welcome in it.
34:34Yeah?
34:36If I decide to stay...
34:39Then you'd only be
34:41proving why your father
34:41doesn't respect you.
34:43You see,
34:44he knows something
34:46about dignity.
34:48Clearly something
34:48you've never learned.
34:50You think his protection
34:51will keep you safe here?
34:54Mr. Weston
34:55let me in here.
34:57And you see,
34:58he's the one
34:59calling the shots.
35:01Not you.
35:01Olivia,
35:11you bring something
35:11to this house
35:12I thought I'd lost.
35:14Really,
35:15Mr. Weston?
35:18I think we're
35:19well past Mr. Weston now.
35:22Don't you?
35:23All right,
35:24Edward.
35:26I find myself
35:27looking forward to each day
35:29knowing
35:30I'll see you.
35:32Edward,
35:33I didn't expect.
35:34I mean,
35:34like,
35:35I never thought
35:36that...
35:37Sometimes
35:37words just
35:39get in the way.
35:40How could you?
35:51How could you?
35:56After all these years?
35:57I can't do this anymore.
36:04I'll have my lawyer
36:05sign the papers.
36:06I can't do this.
36:06I can't do this anymore.
36:07I can't do this anymore.
36:07I can't do this anymore.
36:07Mysterious someone

39:42John, 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.
40:13Olivia.
40:21Olivia, this doesn't have to be about revenge.
40:23I'm here for the money.
40:25For 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.
40:39I've made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you.
40:44Not for one second.
40:48You think you can just pick up the pieces?
40:51It's not that simple, John.
40:53Not all wounds can just heal.
40:56Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece of him and I can still help you.
41:01Maria?
41:02Maria?
41:02Do I really need to remind you who wins you?
41:07Maria?
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.
41:38You really think you can still buy everything?
41:41It's actually amusing how little it costs to make him forget you.
41:46Maria, 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 her.
41:58Choose wisely.
41:59Everything'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?
42:22It's not even hers, it's her father's.
42:24Look, 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, not one bit.
42:33No, he doesn't care about you, but 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 nothing.
42:49Isn't that why we're here?
42:51For the money?
42:53Let me handle this.
42:56Don't play games with these people.
42:58We'll figure it out.
43:02Tomorrow.
43:13Well, there we go.
43:16Edward?
43:16Edward?
43:16Maria, do you know what alexithymia is?
43:34It's when someone can truly feel or express their emotions like others do.
43:41For you, it means you may never know what love really is.
43:46And 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.
43:58It makes you care.
44:00Beyond reason.
44:02Then it sounds unnecessary.
44:04I don't need it.
44:06You're a remarkable woman, Maria.
44:07It's a shame.
44:10Someone like you might never know what it's like to love or be loved.
44:21Maria?
44:22Wait.
44:23Tell me, John.
44:24What is love?
44:30I don't know.
44:32It's not something you say.
44:34It's something you feel.
44:35Did you feel it?
44:48Did you feel love?
44:50Is this part of the game or is this?
44:52What did it feel like with Olivia?
44:55When you touched her?
44:56When you kissed her?
44:57It's like everything fades.
44:59It's just her.
45:02The way she laughs.
45:04The way she smells.
45:06Tie this over your eyes.
45:17Now touch me.
45:20Touch me as if I'm her.
45:29That's enough.
45:35I don't have time for fantasies.
45:37Come on, get up.
45:39We have work to do.
45:48Good morning, John.
45:51Decided to join us, I see.
45:59Look, Father, I was saying.
46:01Now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family competition.
46:05It's tearing us all apart.
46:07So you're finally giving up?
46:09Well, if it means peace, then yes.
46:14Give Duke the title, if you think he's earned it.
46:17It's not likely to surrender, Maria.
46:20What's behind the change of heart?
46:22Letting go doesn't mean that I've lost.
46:24It just means that I'm picking my battles.
46:27That's all.
46:28You know what, Maria?
46:30Enjoy your last days here.
46:32Because once I'm in charge, this whole empire is going to look a lot different.
46:37Is that a threat, Duke?
46:39One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
46:54So I overheard the conversation.
46:57That means we won, right?
46:58Oh, Olivia!
47:01She won again!
47:03But you're the CEO.
47:04She's out.
47:06Isn't that what you really wanted?
47:07Do you think that this is what I wanted?
47:10Business reports, boardroom meetings.
47:12This was always her dream, not mine.
47:15Then what do you really want?
47:18To be seen.
47:18To have my father look at me just once and tell me that he's proud.
47:25That's gone now.
47:26She took it from me.
47:29Oh, Duke.
47:30Something the matter?
47:31You don't look like a man who just got everything he wanted.
47:34You never wanted me to have this.
47:36I just wanted to win.
47:37Yeah, you know, if you were looking for dad's approval, you were always going to be disappointed.
47:42Because you know there was always one favorite.
47:45And guess what?
47:46It wasn't you.
47:47Hey, you dare touch me?
47:57Do you really get your kicks tearing down people?
47:59Even your own family?
48:00Oh, please.
48:02Duke's life's been falling apart for years.
48:04My help's hardly needed.
48:05You tear people down just to make yourself feel powerful.
48:09But guess what?
48:09It's all slipping through your fingers now, isn't it, Maria?
48:12You're stepping out of line.
48:13Back.
48:14Remember where you are and who you're dealing with.
48:18Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with.
48:20And I pity you.
48:23You're all alone.
48:25You're too proud to even see it.
48:27Maria, Edward knows.
48:29Duke's telling him everything.
48:31Right now!
48:32Dad, please just listen to me.
48:37I don't have time for this, Duke.
48:39Save the drama.
48:40I have a company to run.
48:41No, you're going to hear me now.
48:43I know that Maria's the one who can handle the business.
48:46I've always known.
48:47All 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.
49:00I'm Maria.
49:00Do you think she's so perfect?
49:03She bought John.
49:05She paid him to act like her fiancé.
49:07It's all an act.
49:09And Olivia?
49:10Tell me, Duke.
49:12Who paid her to play her part in this?
49:14Did you two really think I wouldn't notice?
49:29You think I'm blind?
49:30You never gave me a chance, Dad.
49:33You always dismissed me like I was nothing.
49:35Maybe if you just had a little thing.
49:38Just a little.
49:40You'd see maybe we're not playing games.
49:42Faith.
49:44This little performance was meant to prove something to me.
49:47You never wanted to see what we're capable of.
49:50Maria might be desperate.
49:52And I've made mistakes.
49:53But we're not completely useless.
49:55We're just trying to earn our place, Father.
50:00You know what?
50:02If that takes more than you're willing to see,
50:05then maybe that's your own fault.
50:07Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:10Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:12Maria's not going to pay me.
50:20I should have seen this coming.
50:22So what now, Olivia?
50:23What can we do?
50:25There's no we, John.
50:27You know that, right?
50:28What are you on about?
50:30Just yesterday, you and I...
50:31Yesterday was a mistake.
50:34I have a plan, and you're not involved in it.
50:37It's this plan, Olivia.
50:41Why don't we let everyone hear it?
50:44Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:46Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:57Edward, should we make things clearer for everyone?
51:00I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes.
51:10I've decided not to attire.
51:15You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.
51:19No.
51:21I wanted something real.
51:23But with you two, there's always demands, expectations.
51:28Never love.
51:30Olivia, was this your plan all along?
51:36I'm sorry.
51:38I was lost.
51:40Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
51:44I wasn't myself.
51:45Forgive me.
51:47You'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, what do you mean, Olivia?
52:04Well, I came here with a plan.
52:07I came here to hurt Maria.
52:11You see, she paid my boyfriend $1 million to pretend to be her fiancé.
52:17John was your boyfriend.
52:24Maria used my money for this.
52:28Yeah.
52:28But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.
52:37Because I met you.
52:38I think I'm falling for you.
52:47I think I'm falling for you.
52:47I think I'm falling for you.
52:51She's using you.
52:52Look, she's nothing.
52:54You're making a mistake.
52:55No, 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.
53:04She sees me for who I really am.
53:07When you looked at him, all you saw was power, authority, someone to use for your gain.
53:18But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love.
53:22I'm ready to give it in return.
53:26Over these past few days, it's as if I've come back to life again.
53:30Feeling younger than I have in years.
53:33So my decision is final.
53:36I'm staying on.
53:38I'm going to lead the company with Olivia by my side.
53:42Olivia, is this who you really are?
53:44Is this how you take revenge?
53:47You never wanted to know the real me, John.
53:49And that's the real tragedy here.
53:53John, leave.
53:54You've taken enough from this house.
54:06Father, you're making a fool of yourself.
54:09You know what?
54:10You are after one thing.
54:11You're after his money.
54:12Money?
54:13That's all you two ever wanted from me.
54:17She's using you.
54:19She's manipulating you and you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:22I see very clearly now.
54:25This family, this house, you used it like a playground.
54:29This is my choice.
54:34This is my future.
54:36I'm done living by your expectations.
54:40So, 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.
54:57She's no family.
54:58Duke, I didn't need a family.
55:03That's why I'm here.
55:07And you're not.
