🎥
Short filmTranscript
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 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.
00:58One day, you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
01:01You dare touch me?
01:03John!
01:24Help. Help. Please.
01:32Here.
01:32Here.
01:33Olivia. 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.
02:18Our savings. Our family's home.
02:23How 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.
02:42And I'll give you one million dollars.
02:53Sorry.
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, one million dollars.
03:05And, uh, 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, 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.
03:35A hundred thousand. Just to stay here and think about it.
03:48Dad. I've given my life to this family. To this company.
03:53No 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.
04:01That's not respect. It's fear.
04:03Look around you. You're alone.
04:07No partner. No friends.
04:10If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?
04:27Good evening, Maria. Everything all right?
04:29More than all right. Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about someone.
04:41I'd like you to meet my fiance.
04:43A fiance? I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.
04:50Who is he? He'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.
05:03Hey, fiance. When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:17I don't have time for you. Just watch and learn.
05:19John, do you really think this is the way to fix things?
05:29Selling yourself to that woman?
05:30I'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? One night isn't going to fix things.
05:43She's not giving you a second chance. She's taking you away from me.
05:48What choice do I have, Olivia? I lost everything. Our house, our savings.
05:55No, John. I'm not going through with this.
05:58If you go through with this, you'll lose me for good.
06:06We're out of time. She's here.
06:09Let her in.
06:12I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
06:23So John is your latest hero, huh?
06:25Perfect timing to charm Dad. Right before the board meeting.
06:30Clever move, Maria.
06:31What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?
06:34I find it amusing. Do 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. You're gonna love it.
06:55Maria?
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. Isn't this her place?
07:20Yeah. That sounds like Maria.
07:23Might be her place, yes.
07:25But it's my house now.
07:26She, uh, she made us this crazy offer. We're just waiting for her to come back.
07:31But who is she? What kind of person does this?
07:34Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.
07:36Once she got her eye on something.
07:38Or 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'll walk away before she decides you belong to her.
08:01So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
08:14Relax. I'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, acting 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 bite everything, you know?
08:41John's staying here with me.
08:42Careful. You 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. No questions.
08:57You'll do what I say every second.
09:05Undress.
09:07Now.
09:07Put this on.
09:26You really think this proves something?
09:29Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
09:31It proves I get what I want.
09:36He's not your toy.
09:37And this is desperation, not power.
09:41Desperation.
09:42That's the language of losers.
09:48Gone.
09:49Let's finish this show.
09:59Perfect.
10:00Here.
10:08Do you remember everything I told you?
10:11Yes.
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, you 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.
10:56There won't be a second chance.
11:00Understand?
11:03Good.
11:08So, Johnny, 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?
11:21Not 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, and dinner.
11:35It's been incredible.
11:36Oh, 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 wear.
11:49It's a commitment.
11:50Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
11:54Just 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, dear.
12:17Stay.
12:17You're practically family now.
12:19No.
12:21How about a real drink, John?
12:23Let's even keep up.
12:25Darling, wait.
12:25I'm coming with you.
12:29What 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.
12:38And that means...
12:42Showing 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 lust 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.
13:25Maybe it's time you both did the same.
13:27This isn't over.
13:28You won't just push me out of his life.
13:31I know exactly what you're doing.
13:33I think it is over.
13:34But John and I, we've chosen each other.
13:39Olivia, I've made my choice.
13:42Marie and I, getting married.
13:54Sometimes, 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.
14:09I don't even have a place to stay tonight.
14:12Tonight you stay here.
14:13Get some rest.
14:14And tomorrow, start fresh.
14:17Start fresh?
14:18Do what?
14:20I have nothing left.
14:22Forget then.
14:24Think about yourself, Olivia.
14:26Maria.
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.
14:40Why are you helping me?
14:43Because I know exactly what it feels like to lose everything to Maria.
14:48At the call.
14:55Seems like she's not over you, buddy.
14:57Oh, Duke.
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 or Shrink?
15:09Father might find it interesting that his future CEO still needs professional support.
15:14Support?
15:15Maria, are you still seeing your therapist?
15:19I 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.
15:35I 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.
16:02All 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.
16:21Flammal keeps watching.
16:31You'll stay here tonight.
16:33I want you close, okay?
16:34I want you close, okay?
16:38I want you close, okay?
16:50He's listening.
16:56You need to keep this up, okay?
16:58Are you okay?
17:11Are you okay?
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:15Yeah, John.
17:16Wow, John!
17:18Oh, my God.
17:28Oh, my God.
17:28Oh, my God, right there.
17:29Yes, John!
17:31Have you never had sex before?
17:34Oh, my God.
17:37Yeah, John, that's so good.
17:38Oh, yeah.
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Yeah, that's good.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
17:44Oh, my God.
17:44Oh, my God.
17:45Oh, my God.
17:45Yes.
17:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
17:58Can I ask you something?
18:06Depends.
18:07Will it bore me?
18:09You're stunning, rich, confident.
18:12You could have anyone you wanted.
18:15Why did 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.
18:57Make yourself comfortable, John.
18:59We're 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.
19:36You said this was for just one night.
19:39I'll have you until sunset tomorrow.
19:40I'll have you until next night.
19:42Now, I'll be the one he gives you.
19:44I'll have you until you think you can go back.
19:45It's like I'm going back.
19:47I'll have you until next night.
19:49I'll have you until next night.
19:49I'll have you until the next week.
19:51I'm coming back.
19:51I'll have you to stay.
19:52No, no, no.
20:23Hey, sis. Just thought you'd like to know.
20:45Father's not feeling that good today.
20:47Might have been that dinner last night.
20:50Meeting is postponed.
21:23You really know how to spoil a good moment.
21:26Oh, this isn't a game, Duke. I've seen what you've done.
21:29Reckless spending, scandals.
21:31You're dragging this company down.
21:34Now, you have a choice.
21:36You either step down quietly, or I bring these to Edward.
21:39We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess.
21:44What? Crown you his successor?
21:47He'd rather give this place to the janitor than to trust either of us.
21:50The janitor, yeah.
21:51Well, at least I'm trying to save what's left of this family.
21:54You don't care about this company, Duke.
21:57All you care about is the title, the image.
22:00Nothing real.
22:01Spare me the lecture, Maria.
22:03You don't want to save anything.
22:05You just want control.
22:06You know what?
22:07If you want to drag yourself down, go ahead.
22:10But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.
22:15I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.
22:24I heard you postpone the meeting.
22:26Is everything all right?
22:27Nothing serious.
22:28Just a headache.
22:31Not 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.
22:45Father, look at me.
22:47Look at me.
22:49I'm ready.
22:50I'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?
23:09I'm fine.
23:10I'm fine.
23:10I'm fine.
23:10I'm fine.
23:11I'm fine.
23:12I'm fine.
23:13I'll be fine.
23:18I'll be fine.
23:21I'll be fine.
23:22I don't know.
23:23Olivia, you don't know me, but we gotta talk.
23:53Sign it.
24:03An NDA?
24:08What's this for?
24:09You want your money, don't you?
24:11Then sign it.
24:18Done.
24:19So am I free to go now?
24:21Free?
24:22Oh no, you're not free, John.
24:24We had a deal, remember?
24:26That deal was for one night, Maria.
24:28One night.
24:30Yeah, it was one night.
24:33But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.
24:36Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple.
24:39You're not going anywhere, John.
24:41Not until you convince everyone that we are in love.
24:45And by the time we're done, even you might believe it.
24:57Now I understand John's poor judgment.
25:00Only a fool will leave you behind.
25:04And who exactly are you?
25:06I believe you met my sister, Maria.
25:09I'm Duke.
25:11Then listen carefully.
25:12I'm gonna 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 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.
25:32Even her own family.
25:33But without that control, she's got nothing.
25:35Nothing.
25:36All we gotta do is 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 bold moves, no confrontations.
25:49Just time.
25:51Maria can be her worst enemy given the right push.
25:55And where do I fit into all of this?
25:58Let's just say that, uh...
26:01I could use her 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.
26:19By this end.
26:20Felt like fate.
26:22Seemed so sudden.
26:23What's with the big rush?
26:26Father, do you remember you told me something about love?
26:29Not needing explanations or definitions.
26:33You 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.
26:53And to love.
26:54Not to later 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?
27:18Oh, nonsense.
27:19It's a splendid idea.
27:20You're very welcome here.
27:22Thank you, Mr. Weston.
27:24I'll be sure to make myself useful.
27:27And of course, to review, Miss Maria.
27:34And you must be John?
27:37I'm Olivia.
27:39Ah, Grace.
27:41There you are, darling.
27:42Meet Olivia.
27:43Our new chef.
27:45She's gonna be staying with us for a while.
27:47Ooh, isn't this cozy?
27:50One big happy family.
27:52To new beginnings, then.
27:53All right, drop the act.
28:06What are you doing here?
28:07Isn't it obvious?
28:10Making myself at home?
28:11That dress.
28:13That's Laura's.
28:15Oh, this?
28:17Yeah, she was kind enough to let me borrow it.
28:21Generous, isn't she?
28:22Generous.
28:24She bought that dress with my money.
28:27That dress doesn't belong to you.
28:29Just like this life doesn't.
28:33Take 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.
28:52You'll challenge me all you want.
28:55But when you fall again, you will fall.
28:59Don't expect me to help you up.
29:02Again.
29:04Help.
29:06Please.
29:07We'll see who loses Maria.
29:08Enjoy your borrowed life.
29:09Because it's not gonna last.
29:10Oh.
29:11And next time?
29:12I won't be so polite.
29:13I won't be so polite.
29:14I won't be so polite.
29:15I won't be so polite.
29:17I won't be so polite.
29:26I won't be so polite.
29:32I won't be so polite.
29:36did you make these yourself yes sir thought a little something homemade might brighten the
29:55morning well mission accomplished please sit Olivia you deserve a break thank you it's nice
30:04to feel appreciated around here you know this house isn't so easy what was that is it the room I can
30:11arrange something bigger if you like no it's not the room or anything like that it's just the way
30:16things are you know I didn't grow up with all this money and power my family were just simple people
30:23you think I was born into this life no I had to build it piece by piece that's why it hurt so
30:31much saying my kids they never had to fight for anything the other day Maria she told me I stink
30:41of poverty she can't even look at me without disgust Olivia this is my house if anyone in this family
30:49doesn't like it they're free to leave
30:51I couldn't stop thinking about you didn't know where you were if you're alright where was I
31:06after you left me broke homeless alone I stared where I could but don't worry I didn't sell myself
31:18if that's what you're wondering Olivia please I know I hurt you but it's not what you think
31:24just give me a chance to explain you chose money over me John and that I can't just forget
31:33you know I love you right please don't forget that I'll be done with this game soon and then we can
31:40leave together I promise
31:43John get your hands off her now
31:50you're set to marry my dog yet here you are with another woman under my roof it's it's not what it
32:04looks like I knew Olivia from before from before where exactly mr. Weston I don't know who he is
32:12he's just a stranger to me okay I'm trying to understand what Maria sees in you or if she's
32:20seen clearly at all look dad John and I are gonna handle this privately aren't we John let's go John
32:27you cross this line again you'll get within a mile of this family are we clear
32:42do you have any idea what you've done everyone is suspicious now we had a plan and you managed to
32:50ruin it in one day maybe you shouldn't relied on a plan so fragile that a single mistake could break
32:57you you're here because you're supposed to follow orders not question me do your job prove your worth
33:06and then you'll get your money money right but let's be real Maria if your father doesn't choose
33:13you you've got nothing to give me do you so what's the backup plan because from where I'm standing
33:21you're not in as control as you think don't push me John you're here because when you signed that paper
33:27you gave away any control you had in fact you handed me the keys to your life
33:34if you fail me I'll make sure that you lose everything even the things you didn't know you had
33:43left so go ahead test me if you want but if I were you I'd start thinking about the price of obedience
33:53you know Olivia you're playing your part beautifully but remember you're here to do a job
34:04not to get cozy with my father I'm here to do exactly what I was brought here to do Duke
34:13but I think I'm going to do it my way not yours careful Olivia don't think you're running the show here
34:22this is my house and remember I brought you here maybe so but while I'm here this is my room
34:31and you're not welcome in it yeah
34:34if I decide to stay
34:37then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you
34:42you see him he knows something about dignity clearly something you've never learned
34:50you think his protection will keep you safe here
34:52Mr. Weston let me in here and you see he's the one calling the shots
35:00not you
35:01Olivia you bring something to this house I thought I'd lost
35:13really Mr. Weston
35:16I think we're well past Mr. Weston now don't you
35:22all right Edward
35:24I find myself looking forward to each day knowing I'll see you
35:31Edward I didn't expect I mean like I never thought that
35:36sometimes words just get in the way
35:40how could you
35:51after all these years
35:57I can't do this anymore
36:03I have my lawyer sign the papers
36:06mom don't do this
36:22don't let her push you out
36:25if anyone should be leaving it's her
36:28my baby girl this is not about her
36:32this is about your father
36:34he's searching for something else
36:37and I'm tired of being the one waiting
36:40stay then
36:41let him see what he's giving up
36:43she's calling to hear you're the one holding us together
36:46I tried
36:47I tried for so many years
36:49but 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
37:06and 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
37:37between us I mean
37:40this isn't the time for that discussion
37:42is that your way of saying you regret this?
37:46are you blaming me?
37:47no
37:48it was bound to happen
37:49grace was always looking for an excuse to leave
37:52oh so I'm just an excuse
37:54that's it
37:58fairy tale's over
38:00Cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen
38:03I'm gonna ask you this once
38:12what did you do to my mother?
38:16nothing
38:16maybe she just finally had enough
38:20watching her own children turn out to be such disappointment
38:24careful you're playing a dangerous game
38:26in this house
38:27you're gonna get eaten up alive
38:30and you'll be left with nothing
38:31nothing?
38:33oh I already have so much more than you ever could
38:37and you know what?
38:39it's delicious Maria
38:40okay
38:41what you think throwing yourself at him gives you power?
38:45it only proves what everyone already sees
38:47a woman so desperate
38:49she'll hang on to any man
38:51with a pulse
38:52and a dollar
38:53at least I didn't have to write a check
38:55just to make me feel wanted
38:57you see
38:58that's the difference between us Maria
39:00yeah we'll enjoy it while it lasts
39:02cause once my father sees who you really are
39:05he'll throw you out
39:07with the rest of the trash
39:08stay away from my father
39:11and stay the hell
39:14out of my life
39:15got it?
39:19got it?
39:27got it?
39:29he'll be right
39:30but it's okay
39:30so we're going to be right
39:30can you see
39:30and you can see
39:31that's the difference in the person
39:32that might be okay
39:33so we'll see
39:33yeah
39:33and then we can see
39:34John, have you lost your mind?
39:56What are you doing here?
39:57Just give me a minute, please.
39:59What 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.
40:24For us.
40:26Help me and we can leave this.
40:29Together.
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.
40:55Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece of him and I can still have you.
41:01Maria?
41:02Do 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 him forget you.
41:45Maria, that's not...
41:46Look, either 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 you're 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, tomorrow.
43:13There 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.
43:53It's that force that rules you in, even when you try to resist.
43:56It makes you care beyond reason.
44:02Then it sounds unnecessary.
44:04I don't need it.
44:06You're a remarkable woman, Maria.
44:08It's a shame.
44:10Someone like you might never know what it's like to love.
44:15Or be loved.
44:21Maria?
44:21Wait, tell me, John.
44:26What 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 partly 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 smiles.
45:06Tie this over your eyes.
45:17Now touch me.
45:19Touch me as if I'm her.
45:21Touch 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.
45:52Good morning, John.
45:52Decided to join us, I see.
45:56Look, Father, I was saying, now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family
46:04competition.
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 faking my battles.
46:27That's all.
46:29You 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.
46:43So, 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?
47:08Business reports, boardroom meetings.
47:12This 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 and tell me that he's proud.
47:25That's gone now.
47:26She took it from me.
47:28Oh, 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.
47:36Just 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.
47:54Hey, 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.
48:17Oh, 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.
48:30Right now!
48:35Dad, 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 is the one who can handle the business.
48:46I'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, 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?
49:10Hmm?
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?
49:30You never gave me a chance, Dad.
49:32You 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.
49:56We're just trying to earn our place, Father.
50:00You know what?
50:01If 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.
50:18Maria'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.
50:33I have a plan, and you're not involved in it.
50:38It'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.
50:49Edward, should we make things clear for everyone?
51:00I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes.
51:09I've decided not to retire.
51:15You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.
51:19No.
51:21I wanted something real.
51:22But with you two, it is always demands, expectations, never love.
51:31Olivia, was this your plan all along?
51:32I'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.
52:08I came here to hurt Maria.
52:11You see, she paid my boyfriend one million dollars to pretend to be her fiancé.
52:23John was your boyfriend.
52:26Maria used my money for this.
52:28Yeah.
52:32But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.
52:39Because I met you.
52:42And I think I'm falling for you.
52:47She's using you.
52:53Look, she's nothing.
52:54You're making a mistake.
52:55No, Maria.
52:56The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wealth.
53:00Oh, my God.
53:02Olivia, she's the only one who's been honest with me.
53:05She 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.
53:15But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love and ready to give it in return.
53:24Over 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.
53:50And that's the real tragedy here.
53:53John, leave.
53:55You've taken enough from this house.
54:06Father, you're making a fool of yourself.
54:09You know what?
54:09You 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.
54:20And you're two blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:23I see very clearly now.
54:25This family, this house.
54:28You used it like a playground.
54:32This 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.
54:51So, that's it?
54:52You're replacing us with her?
54:55She's nothing, Dad.
54:56She's no family.
54:59Duke, I didn't need a family.
55:02That's why I'm here.
55:06And you're not.
55:09I'll see you next time.
55:10I'll see you next time.
55:26Say goodbye.
55:27Bye.
55:28Bye.
55:29Bye.
55:30Bye-bye.
55:31Bye.
55:31Bye.
55:33Bye.
55:34Bye.
