00:09:43that little nobody just acting like she belongs there

00:09:47she's warming her way into Lucas heart

00:09:51she doesn't belong

00:09:53but you're right she's getting too close to Lucas

00:09:56and that is a problem

00:09:58who is your target?

00:10:01Lucas is mine and has always been

00:10:06Lucas and I are a perfect match

00:15:04it's just so big if anyone ever gives you any problems here you can come to me

00:15:11understand yes sir

00:15:23hey dad I've been thinking about Lucas again what about you well remember you

00:15:32told me to settle down and start looking for a partner I think Lucas might be the

00:15:40one think about it he's intelligent ambitious and his company has been taken

00:15:47off you told that to me well he has exceeded even my expectations exactly

00:15:53he's the ideal partner for me he's everything you raved about and you

00:15:58basically shape him to be so well you're not wrong he has proven himself to be

00:16:04more than capable in every sense however does he share the same feelings does he

00:16:11see it that way well not yet but he will after you speak to him he needs to see

00:16:20how well we compliment each other and I will be his obvious choice

00:16:25well the match does make sense Lucas is a stubborn man he might not see things your

00:16:32way immediately might not be

00:16:35then we'll show him invite him for dinner daddy very well I'll speak with him

00:16:42tomorrow I must say that I Lucas isn't easily close so if he does agree it's

00:16:49because you convinced him not because I said

00:16:52leave it convincing to me dad

00:16:56Mr Anderson sir good morning Lucas my boy I hope I'm not interrupting no no not at all

00:17:15sir you know it's always a pleasure when you call me how can I help I wanted to

00:17:19invite you for dinner tomorrow evening just you Daphne and me nothing formal son

00:17:29honored seven sharp Daphne is looking forward to it sounds great looking

00:17:33forward to it good see you tomorrow Lucas goodbye sir

00:17:49Anna could you come in a moment

00:18:00Anderson's my my mentor's house I was wondering if you might accompany me I'm

00:18:06sure Daphne will enjoy the company um I appreciate the offer but I don't think

00:18:12that's appropriate you see it's a personal dinner and I would probably feel

00:18:20out of place I see well thank you for being honest I'm sure it will go well

00:18:27sir you don't need me there sure it will well thank you Anna that will be all

00:18:33Lucas it's always a pleasure having you around but you've been so busy making great strides that you

00:18:45hardly stop by anymore I am sorry sir it's just I've been out of town for a few

00:18:51months and ever since I've come back I've been so busy organizing the

00:19:18and I really do consider both of you as family too well Lucas you've made a

00:19:23remarkable life for yourself and I think that success is best shared don't you

00:19:29agree you're right sir life is better with the right people in that spirit I

00:19:38think you and Daphne would make a wonderful team not just in business but in

00:19:45life father you're embarrassing him I'm honored in your confidence in me sir your

00:19:54daughter Daphne is an extraordinary woman but I just I think you're

00:19:58extraordinary too and you know exactly what father is talking about we belong

00:20:06together that's kind of you to say Daphne I'm I'm really flattered but I just

00:20:13well Lucas think about it and just just think that you will be part of this family

00:20:21and you'll be my son

00:20:25thank you sir thank you I definitely will think about it

00:20:32I I meant what I said I think we'll be good together no no we'll be perfect I don't know what to say Daphne I just I need to go

00:20:44Anna can you come in for a moment please

00:20:57you need me sir yes Anna please take a seat I need to vent for a minute

00:21:06since when did you start venting this sound serious wait is it about yesterday's

00:21:16dinner you have no idea hell I had no idea just walked in there well what

00:21:24happened it was so awkward mr. Anderson practice suggested that I should be

00:21:30together with Daphne as a couple well I could have told you that she has been

00:21:39circling you like a hawk since the day I started here mr. Anderson thinks it's a

00:21:44great idea he's my mentor I just owe him so much well can you blame her look at you

00:21:55Lucas what a woman wouldn't want you you're smart successful and well you're

00:22:04you thanks for the confidence boost but that's just not the problem what is the

00:22:12problem is

00:22:15I'm thinking of someone else you do yeah but I don't know how to let Daphne down

00:22:21without disappointing mr. Anderson I see what you mean that could be tricky I

00:22:26just don't want to hurt anyone especially not her or him hey it's alright

00:22:35Lucas you will do the right thing if we adjust the timelines here we can meet the

00:22:42targets without pushing the team too hard good idea you really have a good eye for

00:22:49detail I hope I'm not interrupting Lucas Daphne this is unexpected what brings you

00:22:59here on the most I trust you to skip the pleasantries I assume you've given it

00:23:06some thought to be honest I've not had any time Daphne

00:23:12and is she what you've been so busy with my name is Anna mr. Anderson movement

00:23:20before I'm mr. Lucas's assistant I know exactly what you are I can feel the stench

00:23:27from a mile away that's enough that is not enough what's your plan I can see the

00:23:35way she's looking at you you think you can just warm your way into his office into

00:23:40his life maybe I didn't mean save it women like you know exactly what they're

00:23:49doing I have to go across the line Daphne I'm just protecting what's mine I am

00:23:58not yours Anna stop wait you can't let her get to you here let me drive you home

00:24:16I'm so sorry you had to see all that Daphne had no right to talk to you that way I still

00:24:28can't believe she said that it's fine I should have expected it I don't exactly fit in there

00:24:36I don't say that you fit in there more than any of them more than you know why would you defend me

00:24:42like that you're supposed to be on her side she's here that's not true I know you I've known you longer

00:24:53than you know I know you to be kind and real more real than any of them could you possibly know it's a

00:25:01long story I promise I'll tell you soon just trust me for nothing but right now we have to get you home

00:25:10thank you Lucas for everything you didn't have to do any of this anytime good night Lucas good night

00:25:21you should have seen her earlier I've been turning up the heat making sure she knows she doesn't belong

00:25:31here she's putting on the brave face there's nothing new just not like that I think she's winning him

00:25:40over Lucas and Pamela they're getting closer what is that supposed to mean just another day I overheard

00:25:51him talking to her he was complaining about the dinner and something with your father's proposal he said

00:26:00that word for word and he didn't sound happy about it this kind doesn't know who she's messing with

00:26:11she's interfering somewhere she shouldn't I'll handle it Daphne haven't you done enough what do you want

00:26:29now I need to see you right now it's late and frankly I'm not in the mood this is gonna have to wait no it

00:26:37won't meet me at my father's club I'll be waiting Daphne I'm here what's the origin took you long

00:26:53enough yeah I was on my way home what's this about don't play dumb with me Lucas you know exactly what

00:27:01this is about listen if this is about Anna of course it's about her do you think I haven't noticed you're

00:27:08spending too much time together this is embarrassing do you realize how crazy you so Anna's just my assistant

00:27:17and that's all there is to it don't insult me Lucas at least have the decency to own up I saw the way you

00:27:24looked at her tonight let me remind you of something you might have forgotten my father gave you everything

00:27:32he mentored you he invested in you without him you wouldn't even have your company you owe him you owe us

00:27:43Daphne you know I appreciate everything that your father has done for me his generosity but that doesn't mean it

00:27:51means whatever I say it means I like you Lucas I hope you would come around the truth is you have no

00:28:04choice you're mine and that's all that matters can you hear yourself think I'm not some dog that you

00:28:14could just yell at to go running around all the time get yourself together Lucas if you don't I will tell

00:28:21my father how ungrateful you are let's see how loyal he stays to someone who spits on his generosity

00:28:28good morning Anna doing well good morning sir sorry Lucas I just want to thank you for driving me home

00:28:46yesterday it was kind of you you didn't have to it's nothing I'm just doing way still it meant a lot

00:28:55to me I don't know how I was planning to get home after running off Anna what's important is that you

00:29:03got home safe but I would appreciate if my employees did not leave before working hours close all right

00:29:09well well if it isn't the employee of the month what do you want Jessica nothing crazy I just want to glut what

00:29:28are you talking about Daphne she's got her clothes in him she doesn't like competition I am not competing with

00:29:37anyone oh sweetie you don't have to be just existing near him is enough for her to consider your friend from

00:29:46what I hear she's got a little chat with Lucas last night and told him to keep his distance or else why

00:29:54are you telling me this because I think it will be hilarious to watch you crash and burn your way over your head

00:30:04Lucas you've come a long way I'm proud of you I've been hearing some troubling reports troubling sir

00:30:26I hear you become distracted spending too much time with your assistant Daphne is concerned and frankly I agree

00:30:38Mr. Anderson Anna is just my assistant and you know I'm not the type of guy to go messing around especially with work

00:30:47that's what I've been telling Daphne that's what I've been telling Daphne be careful Lucas you owe this

00:33:08I should have said something yesterday I'm sorry

00:33:14maybe

00:33:19Maybe Nathan and Jessica are right.

00:33:46Maybe this isn't the place for me.

00:33:49You're damn right.

00:33:50I am right.

00:33:51Took you long enough to realize that.

00:33:53What are you doing here?

00:33:55This is an employee's lounge genius.

00:33:57The better question is, what are you still doing here?

00:34:00I don't have to tell you anything.

00:34:02You've done enough already.

00:34:04Oh baby, the fun is just getting started.

00:34:06You better buckle up.

00:34:19You're late.

00:34:20I assume you had time to think about what we discussed.

00:34:32I'm not here to play games, Daphne.

00:34:33Tell me what this is about.

00:34:34So let's get straight to you.

00:34:35Have you decided to do the right thing?

00:34:39Toss Anna out of the company and just stop this nonsense?

00:34:45The right thing?

00:34:46You mean bending to your every whim?

00:34:47You can't afford to mock me.

00:34:48Let me remind you, Lucas.

00:34:49The clock is ticking.

00:34:50And my father won't hesitate to pull his support if he finds...

00:34:55What's Daddy going to do, Daphne?

00:34:56How dare you?

00:34:57How dare you?

00:34:58I don't know.

00:34:59I don't know.

00:35:00I don't know.

00:35:01I don't know.

00:35:02You're going to be on my own.

00:35:05So let's get straight to you.

00:35:06Have you decided to do the right thing?

00:35:08Toss Anna out of the company and just stop this nonsense?

00:35:13And my father won't hesitate to pull his support if he finds...

00:35:17What's daddy going to do, Daphne?

00:35:19How dare you?

00:35:21No, I've had enough of this.

00:35:23Your father may have helped me, but I built my own success.

00:35:27And I'm tired of letting you or anyone hold that over me.

00:35:32You're making a mistake, Lucas.

00:35:35The only mistake I ever made was letting you think you could control me.

00:35:39You're mine and I can control you!

00:35:42Grow up, Daphne. The world doesn't revolve around you.

00:35:47Wait, you can't leave.

00:35:49Watch me.

00:36:06Hello?

00:36:08Lucas?

00:36:09Hey, I hope it's not too late.

00:36:12No, it's fine. What's going on?

00:36:15I just wanted to apologize, Anne.

00:36:18For everything you've been through because of people like Daphne.

00:36:25It's not your fault, Lucas.

00:36:27You didn't ask for any of it.

00:36:29But I didn't stop it either.

00:36:31I've spent so long being afraid of going back to who I was.

00:36:34To the person people look down on.

00:36:37I can't imagine anyone looking down on you.

00:36:41But then there's you.

00:36:42You've reminded me that there's nothing wrong with who I was.

00:36:46Nothing wrong with standing up for myself or the people who matter.

00:36:49Lucas.

00:36:50I'd like to talk to you in person, if you're okay with it.

00:36:55Um, fine. Where should we meet?

00:36:59Um, thanks for coming.

00:37:14Yeah.

00:37:15It was unexpected.

00:37:16Yeah.

00:37:17I still can't believe I drove all the way out here.

00:37:20Goodnight, Anna.

00:37:21Goodnight, Lucas.

00:37:22Goodnight, Lucas.

00:37:44Lucas?

00:37:46You didn't have to do this.

00:37:48It's okay.

00:37:49I wanted to.

00:37:50Let's just call it carpooling.

00:38:05You're really risking being late for me.

00:38:08I know the boss.

00:38:09He'll let us late.

00:38:20He's crying.

00:38:21Did he come in here, Anna?

00:38:23Looks like it.

00:38:24Wonder what's going on there.

00:38:25This has to be some kind of a joke.

00:38:26Anna?

00:38:27With Lucas?

00:38:28She's acting as a show on the place now.

00:38:29It's disgusting.

00:38:30Eh, who knew the girl we used to shove into the locker room was cozying up with the CEO.

00:38:35I guess we underestimated her.

00:38:36I guess we underestimated her.

00:38:37This isn't over.

00:38:38Daphne, what are you doing here?

00:38:39You can't just barge into my office.

00:38:41I need to know what is this about?

00:38:42Bringing her to work like some...

00:38:43Daphne, what are you doing here?

00:38:44You can't just barge into my office.

00:38:45I need to know what is this about?

00:38:47Bringing her to work like some...

00:39:12You're embarrassing yourself.

00:39:14You're embarrassing me.

00:39:15You're supposed to be better than this, Lucas.

00:39:18That's enough, Daphne.

00:39:19Who I decide to drive to my office is my own damn business.

00:39:24That is not enough.

00:39:25You think you can just toss aside everything and parade around like that?

00:39:30I said that's enough, Daphne.

00:39:33I don't know what you think you're entitled to, but it ends right now.

00:39:38Lucas, I...

00:39:39I said that's enough!

00:39:41You can't just barge in here and talk about my decision, my office, my company's decisions.

00:39:48You've crossed the line.

00:39:49Now get out.

00:39:50Now get out!

00:40:00So...

00:40:01The boss has teeth after all.

00:40:03With me here.

00:40:04I'll be right back.

00:40:05Are you sure?

00:40:06I'm right here, Daphne.

00:40:07Thanks.

00:40:08I'll be fine.

00:40:09Lucas, sit.

00:40:10I assume you know why I called you here.

00:40:24I assume you know why I called you here. I have a good idea sir. Daphne told me

00:40:42everything. How you've rejected her, you embarrassed her. You owe this, you jeopardizing

00:40:52this family's partnership. To be frank sir, this was never about business. Daphne and

00:40:59I were not in a good match and trying to force something that just isn't there is

00:41:05just gonna end badly. You don't get to dictate terms here. Lucas, I made you.

00:41:12Without my support you'd still be dealing for scraps. And I appreciate everything

00:41:17you've done for me sir, but that doesn't mean I owe you my life. You throw in

00:41:22everything away. For what? For some assistance? You think you'll survive

00:41:26without my backing? I'm willing to take that risk. I'm not willing to sacrifice my

00:41:30integrity or let anyone dictate my choices. No matter what the cost. You'll regret this

00:41:37Lucas, not my words.

00:41:42Well, well, well. Look who's here. Enjoy a little field trip. And I

00:41:51hope you're ready for what's coming. You're braver than I thought, Anna.

00:41:56Following Lucas like a little shadow.

00:41:59I am here because he asked me to come.

00:42:05Lucas doesn't belong in your world and you certainly don't belong in his.

00:42:11Lucas. I am not trying to take him away from me, definitely.

00:42:16Take him away from me? Aren't you confident? Let me make something clear. Lucas is mine.

00:42:27All I'm saying is, I am not a threat. The only threat here is me. Don't mess with me or I'll wreck you and him.

00:42:38You can say whatever you want about me, Daphne. But if you try to hurt Lucas, I swear, I'll make you regret it.

00:42:50So, you've got some fight in you after all. I thought all of this was bullied out from you in a high school.

00:42:58You don't scare me, Daphne. I see right through all of the tough talk.

00:43:02Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.

00:43:05Oh, but I do. You're scared to be rejected for the first time in your life.

00:43:12You think you're clever, huh? Don't you?

00:43:17I think you underestimate me.

00:43:22Enjoy a little moment in the sun. It won't last long.

00:43:26Rough day, hon.

00:43:37You could say that.

00:43:39I can't say I'm surprised.

00:43:41So, I take it Daphne found you when I was up speaking to her father?

00:43:45She tried threatening me.

00:43:48Made me feel small, like I don't belong in your world.

00:43:52I'm so sorry. You didn't deserve that.

00:43:56It's okay. I kind of stood up to her.

00:44:00Especially when she started threatening you.

00:44:04You did?

00:44:06Well, I wasn't going to let her push me around.

00:44:10Especially when it ignored you.

00:44:13I mean, I knew you were tough, but to stand up to Daphne?

00:44:16That's impressive.

00:44:21Thank you, Anna.

00:44:23It's nice to know that someone has my back.

00:44:25You know what? I think we deserve a break.

00:44:28How about we stop for some lunch on the way back?

00:44:30Lunch?

00:44:31Yeah, I think we deserve it after the morning we've had.

00:44:34Okay, lunch sounds great.

00:44:40You needed me, sir?

00:44:42Anna, come in and sit down.

00:44:43Anna, because you're new here you might not know this, but I usually don't spend that amount of time in the headquarters.

00:44:57The reason I'm here is because I've seen some inconsistencies.

00:45:02Um, what do you mean?

00:45:07There's been some inconsistencies.

00:45:09Some money trails that just lead to nowhere.

00:45:12And I suspect someone's in the offices behind it.

00:45:16Do you mean fraud?

00:45:18Or worse.

00:45:20I couldn't quite pinpoint it from afar.

00:45:21That's why I had to come here and see myself.

00:45:26Does anyone else know?

00:45:28No. The fewer people that know the better.

00:45:30Then let me help you.

00:45:34This could be dangerous.

00:45:36The person who's behind this won't like the fact that we're poking around.

00:45:40I know, but I want to help.

00:45:43And if there is a problem, we will fix it.

00:45:46Alright.

00:45:48I'll show the inconsistencies that I've got so far and we'll follow it till the end.

00:45:53They will paint a bigger picture.

00:45:56Exactly. I'll give you full access to the files I've flagged and see if you can spot any inconsistencies or see if anything's off.

00:46:04I'll start tonight.

00:46:05Anna, thank you.

00:46:06From now on, every department will undergo a thorough audit. And I will personally review the results myself.

00:46:20Isn't this drastic? And not like this could disrupt operations.

00:46:26A little bit of disruption is better than corruption. Don't you think?

00:46:30We're all on the same side, Lucas. You don't have to treat it like a witch hunt.

00:46:35If there's nothing wrong, and there's nothing to hide, is there?

00:46:38Get her in my office.

00:46:55It's getting too close. What if he finds out?

00:46:59Then we make sure he does it.

00:47:01You mean clean up everything?

00:47:04Exactly. We erase all the trails, adjust the numbers, and tie up loose ends.

00:47:11I don't know. Maybe we should come clean. I could talk to him.

00:47:15And what? Risk us all turning us in? Huh?

00:47:18What, do you think he's just gonna let it slide once he sees the whole picture?

00:47:22Maybe.

00:47:23No! We stick to the plan, keep him distracted, and I will handle the things.

00:47:28What do you mean by handle?

00:47:30Just let me, leave it to me, okay?

00:47:45I'll get to the bottom of this.

00:47:52Lucas, I know you're angry, but I think you need to think this through.

00:47:58This company used to stand for something good, but now I find my own people are stealing money?

00:48:07I know, but we will fix this. You have already found out who's behind it. This is the first step.

00:48:15Fix this? How can we fix this? These are people I trusted.

00:48:18By holding them accountable.

00:48:22Losing your head now will only make it harder for us to find out who's behind it.

00:48:27You're right. I need to keep my head.

00:48:30I need to keep my head.

00:48:35But how do we catch them? We don't even know their identities, they've not made a single mistake.

00:48:43They might be smart, but we will be smarter.

00:48:47What do you suggest?

00:48:48We will give them something they can't resist. We'll set a trap for them.

00:48:56Do you think they'll fall for it? I mean, they know I'm on this witch hunt right now.

00:49:00They are after the money, right? They may be smart enough to cover their tracks, and they might hide it well.

00:49:14But they are still after the money. Your money.

00:49:18You know what? You're right. I mean, after all this, they are just thieves. Just they want to follow the money.

00:49:25Yeah. Trust me. They will fall for it. And you will catch them red-handed. With their dirty paws in the cookie jar.

00:49:48Okay.

00:49:58Lucas?

00:50:00Lucas!

00:50:02Lucas!

00:50:04Lucas, can you hear me?

00:50:09Hello.

00:50:11Yes.

00:50:12My boss just collapsed.

00:50:14Luminous.

00:50:16Are you his colleague?

00:50:18Yeah. We are his employees. I found him in the office. How is he?

00:50:23He is stable for now, but we can't say for sure. We found trace of poisonous substances in his liver.

00:50:31Are you saying Lucas was poisoned? How?

00:50:35We are running further tests to learn more about that, but I suggest you to inform the authorities.

00:50:42Lucas was poisoned.

00:50:44You! What did you do to him?

00:50:48What are you talking about?

00:50:49You was the last one person in his office.

00:50:53Yeah. And you are very unusually close to him. Do you expect us to ignore that?

00:50:57Are you serious? I found him!

00:51:00How convenient.

00:51:01What happened to my Lucas?

00:51:02I am sure that Jessica told you everything you wanted to know.

00:51:17Jessica told me that you poisoned him.

00:51:19I didn't!

00:51:20I didn't!

00:51:21That's what I think, too.

00:51:22You don't have it in you. You are far too weak for that.

00:51:28So, why are you here? Why talking to me?

00:51:33I came to tell you that whoever did this won't get away with that.

00:51:38Lucas is mine.

00:51:41Nobody touches him except me.

00:51:44Who would ever do this to you? I am so confused.

00:51:50You really are naive. So innocent. I see why Lucas wants you around.

00:51:57What are you talking about?

00:51:58You and Lucas were in the middle of a witch hunt.

00:52:02Lucas wanted to find those who were allegedly stealing from him.

00:52:07I think Lucas might have come too close.

00:52:11They poisoned him?

00:52:13Those thieves poisoned him?

00:52:16Certainly seems so.

00:52:19Just know this.

00:52:21If they can aim at Lucas, what makes you think you aim next?

00:52:26Think about it.

00:52:39He's stable for now, but he's not showing any signs of waking up.

00:52:44Lucas is strong. He'll pull through.

00:52:46I will find out who did this to you. I swear.

00:53:00Anna, how's Lucas?

00:53:03He is fighting.

00:53:06Yeah, he does that. If there's anything I can do to help, just say a word.

00:53:12I will let you know if anything comes up.

00:53:16Good. Keep me in the loop.

00:53:19Like it or not, but Lucas is an investment to me and my father.

00:53:24And we take care of our investment.

00:53:28Don't call him that.

00:53:30Hey, I'm not the enemy here. We both want the same thing.

00:53:35Nathan.

00:53:37Please, just go. I just can't right now. Please, just leave.

00:53:41Nathan. What are you hiding?

00:53:42All of these transactions to untraceable accounts.

00:53:45Nathan. What are you hiding?

00:53:47Nathan. What are you hiding?

00:53:48Nathan. What are you hiding?

00:54:05All of these transactions to untraceable accounts.

00:54:09Nathan. You are not as clever as you think.

00:54:13Good.

00:54:14You definitely had some major help.

00:54:19Anya?

00:54:23What are you still doing here?

00:54:25I'm going through company's records.

00:54:27I'm going to finish what Lucas started.

00:54:30It's probably just an era that happened when I'm putting.

00:54:34Mistakes happen sometimes.

00:54:37This looks deliberate, Jessica.

00:54:40If you know something, Jessica, now is the time to speak up.

00:54:46I don't know anything.

00:54:48Why do you even ask me that?

00:54:53I better let you work.

00:54:55Just take it easy.

00:54:57You're scaring some of the faults.

00:55:00Those with something to hide better be afraid.

00:55:05Nathan's name keeps popping up.

00:55:11But who else is involved?

00:55:20I figured you'd still be here.

00:55:23Any leads?

00:55:24Not yet.

00:55:26But I will find whoever did this.

00:55:29Yes, of course you will.

00:55:31Let me know if I can help.

00:55:42I'll find them, Lucas.

00:55:46I promise.

00:55:49Nathan's name keeps appearing.

00:55:52But it doesn't make any sense.

00:55:54He can't be doing this alone.

00:56:00Hey, Anna.

00:56:03How is this going?

00:56:07What do you want, Jessica?

00:56:08I don't have time for this.

00:56:11Don't push yourself so hard.

00:56:14Since when did you start caring?

00:56:18What do you know about these transactions?

00:56:20Um, Nathan handles that department, you know.

00:56:25Maybe he can explain you better.

00:56:28You've been signing off some of these transactions, Jessica.

00:56:33What's going on?

00:56:35It's not a procedure.

00:56:37Nathan tells me to sign off.

00:56:39And I do.

00:56:40Because I assume everything is in order.

00:56:42I will move the rest of the money soon.

00:57:01Just stay quiet.

00:57:03Anna's already asking questions about you.

00:57:06She's not as clueless as you think.

00:57:08I will not have the rest of the money soon.

00:57:23Just stay quiet.

00:57:25Ana's already asking questions about you.

00:57:27She's not as clueless as you think.

00:57:31I'll protect you, Lucas.

00:57:34No matter what it takes.

00:57:38Mason signed off on those transfers.

00:57:43And he got Jessica to sign on it too.

00:57:47Where did the money go to?

00:57:50I can't find any record of that.

00:57:54How could he be doing this?

00:57:57And who is he sending all this cash to?

00:58:05Ana's poking around the financial again.

00:58:07What are we going to do?

00:58:09We're not going to do anything.

00:58:10She's not going to find anything.

00:58:11Because we've covered up our asses.

00:58:13But what if?

00:58:15If she gets too close, I'll handle her too.

00:58:18Okay?

00:58:19That, that mean...

00:58:21Did you pause on Lucas?

00:58:23Or are you the one who did that?

00:58:26Stop asking me stupid questions.

00:58:28I said I'll handle it.

00:58:29And I did.

00:58:30That's all you need to know.

00:58:31God.

00:58:32You hurt him.

00:58:33You hurt Lucas.

00:58:34You sound just like Ana right now.

00:58:35So naive.

00:58:36I did what I had to do.

00:58:37To cover our asses.

00:58:38Okay?

00:58:39Now stop whining.

00:58:40And get out of my office.

00:58:41It's taking so long.

00:58:42Ana is getting closer every day.

00:58:43And why are we meeting in this dark parking lot?

00:58:45We have to avoid ice.

00:58:46We're all under heat.

00:58:47As for Ana, we've got it under control.

00:58:48She's smart.

00:58:49But not smart enough to connect the dots.

00:58:50She's closer than you think.

00:58:51She's closer than you think.

00:58:52I'm gonna do what I had to do.

00:58:53I'm gonna do what I had to do.

00:58:54To cover our asses.

00:58:55Okay?

00:58:56Now stop whining.

00:58:57And get out of my office.

00:58:58It's taking so long.

00:58:59Ana is getting closer every day.

00:59:00And why are we meeting in this dark parking lot?

00:59:02We have to avoid ice.

00:59:04We're all under heat.

00:59:06As for Ana, we've got our under control.

00:59:09She's smart.

00:59:10But not smart enough to connect the dots.

00:59:12She's closer than you think.

00:59:14You keep underestimating her.

00:59:18And she can go in us to rest.

00:59:22I told you to handle it.

00:59:24If she figures out I'm involved...

00:59:26That is your problem.

00:59:28Remember?

00:59:29You wanted to end on this.

00:59:32You came to us.

00:59:35We shouldn't fighting ourselves.

00:59:37Our enemy is Ana.

00:59:40We are underestimating her.

00:59:43Well...

00:59:44She shouldn't have gotten that job.

00:59:47Damn there, Lucas.

00:59:49What's done is done.

00:59:51How do we get rid of her?

00:59:53I told you to handle it.

00:59:56If she figures out I'm involved...

00:59:58That is your problem.

01:00:00Remember?

01:00:01Daphne?

01:00:02I wanted to.

01:00:03You too?

01:00:04How deep does this rabbit hole go?

01:00:18I am so close, Lucas.

01:00:20Just hold on.

01:00:22Lucas?

01:00:23Can you hear me?

01:00:24Lucas?

01:00:25Can you hear me?

01:00:34I'll end this.

01:00:35I promise.

01:00:36Anna, what brings you here?

01:00:48Nothing much.

01:00:49I just needed some help understanding these reports.

01:00:53It works.

01:00:58This?

01:01:00This is nothing.

01:01:01It's just routine transactions.

01:01:04Routine?

01:01:06The amounts and the frequency don't seem routine to me.

01:01:10You authorize them.

01:01:12Look, Anna.

01:01:14You wouldn't understand.

01:01:16See, Lucas trusted me to handle these complex things.

01:01:19This is why I get paid so much.

01:01:22So Lucas knew about all of this?

01:01:25Lucas knew about the offshore accounts?

01:01:28Let's just say when Lucas doesn't know one hurt him.

01:01:32Or didn't in this case.

01:01:35It was you.

01:01:37You!

01:01:38Careful now.

01:01:39You don't want to go around pointing fingers when you are the prime suspect.

01:01:44I didn't poison Lucas and you know that.

01:01:48Of course not.

01:01:49But what matters is others don't.

01:01:53When they look at you, they see some opportunistic cold digger.

01:01:57They see someone who tried to kill her boss after warming herself.
