Full Episode of One Million Dollars for One-Night
Transcript
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.
01:14Help.
01:15Please.
01:16Here.
01:19Help.
01:20Help.
01:21Please.
01:22Here.
01:23Please.
01:24Help. Please.
01:32Here.
01:47Olivia, please hear me out.
01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe.
01:53Passed out on my couch, but safe.
01:57Wait. 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.
02:18Her savings.
02:20Her family's home.
02:21How could you risk it all in a single investment?
02:25I thought it was our shot.
02:28A chance to finally make something of myself.
02:30Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
02:34I'm willing to help for a price.
02:41Spend one night with me.
02:42And I'll give you $1 million.
02:53Sorry.
02:55Did I hear you right?
02:56You want him to spend the night with you for money?
03:00It's just a business arrangement.
03:02One night, $1 million.
03:06And what exactly do you expect from me?
03:09Just one night together.
03:11You get what you need, and I get what I want.
03:14Do you really think we would sell ourselves for this?
03:18Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight.
03:20I'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.
03:27$100,000.
03:29Just to stay here and think about it.
03:31Dad, I've given my life to this family.
03:52To this company.
03:53No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
03:56You 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, how can you run our family business?
04:26Good evening, Maria.
04:28Everything all right?
04:29More than all right.
04:32Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about 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.
05:02Look, he'll be here soon.
05:04Look, he'll be here soon.
05:13Hey, fiancée.
05:14When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:17I don't have time for you.
05:18Just watch and learn.
05:19John, 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.
05:37And 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.
05:59If 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.
06:23So 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?
06:35Uh, I find it amusing.
06:36Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe
06:38you're ready to run the company?
06:40What's going on here?
06:47Just talking about the future.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Exciting family plans.
06:51You're going to love it.
06:51Mm-hmm.
07:02Maria?
07:03Well, 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.
07:24But 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.
07:40She 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,
07:52you're playing by her rules.
07:55So if you're smart,
07:57you'll walk away before
07:58she 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,
08:36this isn't some street hustle.
08:38Money can't buy everything, you know?
08:41John's staying here with me.
08:42Careful.
08:43You don't have the power to touch me.
08:45In my world,
08:46you're nothing.
08:48Is it really
08:50one million dollars?
08:54One night?
08:55One million.
08:57No questions.
08:58You'll do what I say.
09:00Every second.
09:05Undress.
09:07Now.
09:11Put this on.
09:12You really think this
09:27proves something?
09:29Throwing your money around
09:30so 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.
09:48Gone.
09:50Let's finish this show.
09:59Perfect.
10:00Now follow me.
10:07Here.
10:09Do you remember everything I told you?
10:12Yes.
10:13Okay, good.
10:14We need to convince my family
10:16that we've been in love for months
10:18and are ready to marry.
10:20Okay, only then you'll be off the hook.
10:22I 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
10:30for months.
10:32Okay?
10:33And one more thing.
10:38If you slip up
10:39and they see through you,
10:41it's game over.
10:46You know what that means?
10:49That means you,
10:51Olivia,
10:52anything you care about
10:54is gone.
10:56There won't be a second chance.
11:00Understand?
11:03Good.
11:04So,
11:09Gianni,
11:11are you in finance?
11:12Mostly investments.
11:14Look for opportunities.
11:16I see.
11:17The Weston family,
11:18quite the opportunity,
11:20wouldn't you say?
11:21Not everything's business, Duke.
11:24Some things are worth more than money.
11:27Well,
11:28it's rare to find somebody
11:30who understands
11:31that not everything has a price.
11:33Thank you, Grace,
11:34and dinner.
11:35It's been incredible.
11:37Oh,
11:37don't be too impressed.
11:39It's ordered in.
11:40Nothing special tonight.
11:43So,
11:44tell us,
11:45when's the big day?
11:46Soon.
11:47We didn't see the need to wear.
11:50It's a commitment.
11:51Hope you're ready
11:51for everything that comes with it,
11:52John.
11:57Just remember,
11:58even love
11:59comes with a price
12:00in this family.
12:00going to grab some fresh air.
12:06And no,
12:07I'm not quitting.
12:09Maybe I should
12:10get going too.
12:11It's getting late.
12:13Oh,
12:13no,
12:13no,
12:13no,
12:13no.
12:14John's,
12:14John's staying.
12:15Isn't that right?
12:16Yes,
12:17please,
12:17dear,
12:17stay.
12:18You're practically family now.
12:20How about a real drink,
12:22John?
12:23Let's even keep up.
12:25Don't think we can't
12:26come with you.
12:26What is this?
12:30Why am I still here?
12:31Because they're not convinced yet,
12:33especially Duke.
12:35Tonight,
12:36we make sure
12:36they believe
12:37every word of it.
12:39And that means
12:40showing them just
12:43how much
12:44we're in love.
12:47This is your family,
12:48all right?
12:48You want them to think
12:49we're having some.
12:49John!
12:50You left us in the car.
12:53Olivia,
12:53is it?
12:54Seems she's like
12:55really eager
12:56to reach you.
13:01Duke,
13:02just that.
13:02Give me the phone.
13:03Oh,
13:03come on,
13:04John.
13:04Let's not keep her waiting.
13:06John,
13:07John,
13:07please,
13:08don't let her do this to you.
13:09Don't trust her.
13:11Are you with Laura
13:12right now?
13:15Yes,
13:16yes I am.
13:18Well,
13:18the two of you
13:18are still holding on
13:20to the past.
13:22John and I,
13:23we've moved on.
13:25Maybe it's time
13:25you both did the same.
13:27This isn't over.
13:28You won't just push me
13:29out of his life.
13:30I know exactly
13:32what you're doing.
13:33I think it is over.
13:35But John and I,
13:36we've chosen each other.
13:39Olivia,
13:39I've made my choice.
13:43Maria and I,
13:44getting married.
13:58Sometimes,
14:00losing everything
14:00is how we finally
14:01see what's left
14:02to hold on to.
14:03And what exactly
14:04do I have left?
14:06Homeless,
14:07alone,
14:08broke.
14:09I don't even have
14:11a place to stay tonight.
14:12Tonight you stay here.
14:14Get some rest.
14:15And tomorrow,
14:17start fresh.
14:18Start fresh?
14:20Do what?
14:21I have nothing left.
14:24Forget then.
14:25Think about yourself,
14:26Olivia.
14:27What do you want?
14:28I want revenge.
14:31I want revenge.
14:34It's that simple.
14:36Shower and clean up.
14:38Look like you're ready
14:39for a fight.
14:41Why are you helping me?
14:43Because I know exactly
14:44what it feels like
14:45to lose everything
14:47to Maria.
14:48at the call.
14:54It seems like she's
14:56not over you, buddy.
14:58Oh, Duke.
14:59Everyone has a past.
15:01But when you know
15:02what you want,
15:03it's easier to leave
15:04them behind.
15:05Right?
15:06Well, speaking of the past,
15:07wasn't Laurie or Shrink.
15:09Father might find it
15:10interesting that
15:11his future CEO
15:12still needs
15:12professional support.
15:14Support?
15:15Maria?
15:16Are you still
15:17seeing your therapist?
15:19I thought you were
15:20ready to lead,
15:20not lean.
15:23Maria,
15:24if you're going to lead,
15:26understanding your emotions,
15:27your condition,
15:29is crucial.
15:30Without it,
15:31real connection
15:31is impossible.
15:33I don't need connection.
15:36I need control.
15:38Leadership isn't
15:38just about control.
15:40It's about empathy,
15:42trust,
15:43knowing when to
15:44rely on others.
15:46Relying on others
15:47makes you weak.
15:49And I won't
15:50be weak.
15:52Don't worry,
15:53Father.
15:54I'm not weak.
15:56I'm in control.
15:58Always.
16:05All right.
16:06It's been a long night.
16:07I'm going to show
16:08John to my room.
16:10Thank you
16:10for both having me.
16:12It's been a pleasure.
16:13John,
16:14you expect great things.
16:17Welcome to the family,
16:18John.

23:06to announce his decision right dad i'm fine
23:10so
23:17so
23:23you
23:28you
23:31Olivia, you don't know me, but we've got to talk.
23:58Sign it.
24:01An NDA, what's this for?
24:09You want your money, don't you?
24:11Then sign it.
24:18Done.
24:20Am 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.
24:29Yeah, 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.
24:49Now 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.
25:11Then listen carefully.
25:11I'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 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.
25:36All we got to do is to pull the rug from under her.
25:40She'll slowly fall apart.
25:42So 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 I could use her motivated ally.
26:06Olivia, are you looking for a job?
26:07So, John, how did you and my daughter cross paths?
26:16Paris, just 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?
26:30Not 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.
26:53And to love.
26:53Hope we're not too late to join the celebrations.
26:55Well, 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.
27:13Is that really necessary?
27:16Don't we have all the help we need?
27:17Oh, nonsense.
27:18It's a splendid idea.
27:20You're very welcome here.
27:22Thank you, Mr. Weston.
27:23I'll be sure to make myself useful.
27:25And, of course, to review, Miss Maria.
27:33And you must be John?
27:36I'm Olivia.
27:39Ah, Grace.
27:41There you are, darling.
27:42Meet Olivia, our new chef.
27:44She's going to be staying with us for a while.
27:46Oh, isn't this cozy?
27:49One big happy family.
27:52Two new beginnings, then.
28:03All right, drop the act.
28:05What are you doing here?
28:07Isn't it obvious?
28:09Making myself a hump?
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.
28:44All this power, all this wealth.
28:48And you yet still can't stand someone challenging you, Maria.
28:52Challenging 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.
29:02Again.
29:04Help.
29:04Please.
29:12We'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?
29:37did 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
30:04nice to feel appreciated around here you know this house isn't so easy what is that is it the room i
30:11can arrange something bigger if you like no it's not the room or anything like that it's just the
30:16way things are you know i didn't grow up with all this money and power my family were just simple
30:22people you think i was born into this life no i had to build it piece by piece that's why it hurt so
30:31much and my kids they never had to fight for anything the other day maria she told me i stink
30:42of 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 all right 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 chose money over me john
31:28you know i love you right please don't forget that i'll be done with this game soon and then we
31:40can leave together i promise
31:43john get your hands off her now
31:50you're set to marry my daughter yet here you are with another woman under my roof
32:02it's it's not what it looks like i knew olivia from before from before from where exactly
32:09mr weston i don't know who he is he's just a stranger to me
32:13okay i'm trying to understand what maria sees in you or if she's seeing clearly at all look dad
32:21john and i are going to handle this privately aren't we john let's go
32:27john you cross this line again you'll get within a mile of this family are we clear
32:33do you have any idea what you've done everyone is suspicious now we had a plan and you managed
32:50to ruin it in one day maybe you shouldn't have relied on a plan so fragile that a single mistake
32:56could break it you're here because you're supposed to follow orders not question me
33:02do your job prove your worth and then you'll get your money money right but 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 because from where i'm standing you're not in as control as you think
33:24don't push me john you'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 if you fail me i'll make sure that you lose
33:39everything even the things you didn't know you had left so go ahead test me if you want
33:47but if i were you i'd start thinking about the price of obedience
33:54you know olivia you're playing your part beautifully but remember you're here to do
34:04a job not to get cozy with my father
34:06i'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
34:18careful olivia don't think you're running the show here
34:22this is my house and remember i brought you here
34:28maybe so but while i'm here this is my room and you're not welcome in it yeah
34:36if i decide to stay
34:40then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you
34:43you see him he knows something about dignity clearly something you've never learned
34:49you think his protection will keep you safe here mr weston let me in here and you see he's the one
34:59calling the shots not you
35:10olivia you bring something to this house i thought i'd lost
35:14really mr weston
35:16i think we're well past mr weston now don't you all right edward
35:26i find myself looking forward to each day knowing i'll see you
35:33edward i didn't expect i mean like i never thought that sometimes words just get in the way
35:46i don't know how could you
35:56after all these years
35:57i can't do this anymore i have my lawyer sign the papers
36:06mom
36:21don't do this
36:24don't let her push you out
36:26if anyone should be leaving it's her
36:28oh my baby girl this is not about her this is about your father he's searching for something else
36:37and i'm tired of being the one waiting stay then let him see what he's giving up
36:44she's going to be the one holding us together i tried i tried for so many years but no matter how much
36:51love i gave it was never enough to feel the emptiness in him
37:00please take care of each other and don't ever think you are not enough
37:20i'm gonna say goodbye to her grace made her choice there's nothing more to say
37:35so how are things gonna be now between us i mean this isn't the time for that discussion
37:42is that your way of saying you regret this are you blaming me no it was bound to happen
37:50grace was always looking for an excuse to leave oh so i'm just an excuse
37:58that's it fairy tale is over cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen
38:03i'm gonna ask you this once what did you do to my mother
38:16nothing maybe she just finally had enough watching her own children turn out to be such
38:23disappointment careful you're playing a dangerous game in this house you're gonna
38:28get eaten up alive and you'll be left with nothing nothing oh i already have so much more than you
38:36ever could and you know what it's delicious maria okay what you think throwing yourself at him gives
38:43you power it only proves what everyone already sees a woman so desperate she'll hang on to any man
38:51with a pulse and a dollar at 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 yeah 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 and stay the hell out of my life got it
39:27so
39:31John, have you lost your mind?
39:56What are you doing here?
39:57Just give me a minute, please.
40:01What are you really doing here?
40:05What's the plan?
40:07I'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 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.
40:44You think you can just pick up the pieces?
40:51It's not that simple, John.
40:52Not all wounds can just heal.
40:56Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece of him if I could still have you.
41:01Maria?
41:07Do 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.
41:46Maria, 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 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, tell 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, now 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.
47:36Just 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.
47:47Hey, 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.
48:06You 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!
48:35Dad, please just listen to me.
48:36I 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.
48:47All 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.
49:00And 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?
49:11Tell 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, this 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, and I've made mistakes, but 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, then 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?
50:29What 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?
51:06I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes.
51:10I've decided not to retire.
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.
51:31Olivia, 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, Chip.
51:49It would affect anyone.
51:52But before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
51:58I didn't come here by accident.
52:01Okay.
52:02What do you mean, Olivia?
52:04Well, I came here with a plan.
52:07I came here to hurt Maria.
52:10You 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.
52:47She's using you.
52:52Look, 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.
53:04She 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 forgiven, feeling younger than
53:31I have in years.
53:31So, 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.
53:51And that's the real tragedy here.
53:53John, leave.
53:55I've taken enough from this house.
54:01Father, 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?
54:14That's all you two ever wanted from me.
54:17She's using you.
54:19She's manipulating you.
54:20And you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:23I see very clearly now.
54:25This family, this house.
54:27You 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.
54:57She's no family.
54:59Duke, I didn't need a family.
55:02That's why I'm here.
55:06And you're not.
55:07She's nothing.
55:28You're not.
55:29You're not.
