00:03:16and I'm sorry that I couldn't have been there to prevent you from going through that ordeal

00:03:20the most I can do

00:03:22is give you a job

00:03:45you'll explain to me why you thought it appropriate to choose an applicant like you did today

00:03:50sir we didn't mean

00:03:51didn't mean to what?

00:03:53to humiliate her?

00:03:55to mock her?

00:03:57to laugh at someone who came here for an opportunity?

00:04:00we were just having a lot of fun

00:04:02it wasn't something that serious

00:04:03and we know her from way back

00:04:05sir it was just harmless fun

00:04:07fun?

00:04:08you thought that was fun?

00:14:52it's just so big

00:14:54if anyone ever gives you any problems here

00:15:09you can come to me

00:15:11understand?

00:15:12yes sir

00:15:14yes sir

00:15:25hey dad

00:15:26I've been thinking about Lucas again

00:15:28what about him?

00:15:30oh

00:15:31well

00:15:32remember you told me

00:15:33to settle down

00:15:34and

00:15:36start looking for a partner

00:15:38I think

00:15:39Lucas might be the one

00:15:41think about it

00:15:42he's intelligent

00:15:43ambitious

00:15:44and

00:15:45his company has been taken off

00:15:47you told that to me

00:15:49well he has exceeded even my expectations

00:15:52exactly

00:15:53he's the ideal partner for me

00:15:55he's everything you raved about

00:15:57and you basically shaped him to be so

00:16:01well

00:16:02you're not wrong

00:16:03he has proven himself to be

00:16:05more than capable in every sense

00:16:07however

00:16:08does he

00:16:09share the same feelings?

00:16:11does he see it that way?

00:16:13well

00:16:14not yet

00:16:15but

00:16:16he will

00:16:17after you speak to him

00:16:18he needs to see how well we complement each other

00:16:22and

00:16:23I will be his obvious choice

00:16:25well

00:16:27the match does make sense

00:16:28Lucas is a stubborn man

00:16:30he might not see things your way immediately

00:16:34might not be

00:16:35then

00:16:36we'll

00:16:37show him

00:16:38invite him for dinner daddy

00:16:40very well

00:16:42I'll speak with him tomorrow

00:16:43I must say that

00:16:45Lucas

00:16:46isn't easily influenced

00:16:47so

00:16:48if he does agree

00:16:49it's because

00:16:50you convinced him

00:16:51not because I said

00:16:52leave it convincing to me

00:16:54death

00:16:55Mr. Anderson sir

00:18:58I really do owe you everything, sir.

00:19:00Oh, Lord, so stop it.

00:19:02I've always said you're one of my brightest mentees.

00:19:05And that's why you're here tonight, Lucas.

00:19:10Father and I want you to feel like family.

00:19:15Oh, thank you.

00:19:17I appreciate it a lot.

00:19:19And I really do consider both of you as family, too.

00:19:23Well, Lucas, you've made a remarkable life for yourself.

00:19:27And I think that success is best shared, don't you, Reed?

00:19:32You're right, sir.

00:19:34Life is better with the right people.

00:19:38In that spirit, I think you and Daphne would make a wonderful team.

00:19:43Not just in business, but in life.

00:19:47Father, you're embarrassing him.

00:19:50I'm honored in your confidence in you, sir.

00:19:54And your daughter, Daphne, is an extraordinary woman, but I just...

00:19:58I think you're extraordinary, too.

00:20:00And you know exactly what Father is talking about.

00:20:05We belong together.

00:20:07That's kind of you to say, Daphne.

00:20:09I'm really flattered, but I just...

00:20:12Well, Lucas, think about it.

00:20:16And just think that you will be part of this family.

00:20:22And you'll be my son.

00:20:24Thank you, sir.

00:20:27I definitely will think about you.

00:20:29I meant what I said.

00:20:35I think we'll be good together.

00:20:38No, no, no.

00:20:39We'll be perfect.

00:20:42I don't know what to say, Daphne.

00:20:44I need to go.

00:20:45Anna, can you come in for a moment, please?

00:21:01You need me, sir?

00:21:03Yes, Anna.

00:21:04Please take a seat.

00:21:05I need to vent for a minute.

00:21:08Since when did you start venting?

00:21:12Does this sound serious?

00:21:14Wait.

00:21:15Is it about yesterday's dinner?

00:21:17You have no idea.

00:21:19Hell, I had no idea.

00:21:21I just walked in there and...

00:21:24Well, what happened?

00:21:26It was so awkward.

00:21:28Your Mr. Anderson practice suggested that I should be together with Daphne.

00:21:32As a couple.

00:21:34Well, I could have told you that.

00:21:38She has been circling you like a hawk since the day I started here.

00:21:43Mr. Anderson thinks it's a great idea.

00:21:46He's my mentor.

00:21:47I just owe him so much.

00:21:49And I...

00:21:52Well, can you blame her?

00:21:55Look at you, Lucas.

00:21:57What woman wouldn't want you?

00:21:59You're smart, successful.

00:22:02And well, you're you.

00:22:07Thanks for the confidence boost, but that's just not the problem.

00:22:11What is?

00:22:13The problem is...

00:22:16I'm thinking of someone else.

00:22:18You do?

00:22:19Yeah, but I don't know how to let Daphne down without disappointing Mr. Anderson.

00:22:24I see what you mean.

00:22:26That could be tricky.

00:22:27I just don't want to hurt anyone.

00:22:29Especially not her or him.

00:22:32Hey, it's alright, Lucas.

00:22:36You will do the right thing.

00:22:38If we adjust the timeline here, we can meet their targets without pushing the team too hard.

00:22:45Good idea.

00:22:47You really have a good eye for detail.

00:22:52I hope I'm not interrupting Lucas.

00:22:55Daphne?

00:22:56This is unexpected.

00:22:58What brings you here on the most?

00:23:00I trust you to skip the pleasantries.

00:23:03I assume you've given it some thought.

00:23:07To be honest, I've not had any time, Daphne.

00:23:10And is she what you've been so busy with?

00:23:17My name is Anna, Mr. Anderson.

00:23:20We've met before.

00:23:21I'm Mr. Lucas' assistant.

00:23:23I know exactly what you are.

00:23:25I can feel the stench from a mile away.

00:23:28That's enough!

00:23:30That is not enough.

00:23:32What's your plan?

00:23:34I can see the way she's looking at you.

00:23:36You think you can just worm your way into his office?

00:23:40Into his life, maybe?

00:23:43I didn't mean...

00:23:46Save it!

00:23:47The women like you know exactly what they're doing.

00:23:50I have to go!

00:23:54We'll cross the line, Daphne.

00:23:56I'm just protecting what's mine!

00:23:58I am not yours!

00:24:07Anna, stop!

00:24:08Wait!

00:24:13You can't let her get to you.

00:24:15Here, let me drive you home.

00:24:23I'm so sorry you had to see all of that.

00:24:25Daphne had no right to talk to you that way.

00:24:28I still can't believe you said that.

00:24:31It's fine.

00:24:32I should have expected it.

00:24:34I don't exactly fit in there.

00:24:37Don't say that.

00:24:38You fit in there more than any of them.

00:24:40More than you know.

00:24:42Why would you defend me like that?

00:24:44You're supposed to be on her side.

00:24:47She's your...

00:24:49That's not true.

00:24:51I know you.

00:24:52I've known you longer than you know.

00:24:55I know you to be kind and real.

00:24:58More real than any of them.

00:25:00How could you possibly know that?

00:25:01It's a long story and I promise I'll tell you soon.

00:25:07Just trust me for now.

00:25:09But right now we have to get you home.

00:25:10Thank you, Lucas.

00:25:11For everything.

00:25:12You didn't have to do any of this.

00:25:13Any time.

00:25:14Good night, Lucas.

00:25:15Good night, Anne.

00:25:16You should have seen her earlier.

00:25:17I've been turning up the heat.

00:25:18Making sure she knows she doesn't belong here.

00:25:20She's putting on the brave face.

00:25:31There's nothing new.

00:25:34Just not like that.

00:25:36I think she's winning him over.

00:25:44Lucas and Anna,

00:25:45they are getting closer.

00:25:46What is that supposed to mean?

00:25:48Doesn't matter.

00:25:49Just another day, I overheard him talking to her.

00:25:55He was complaining about the dinner and stumbling with your father's proposal.

00:26:01He said that?

00:26:02Word for word, and he didn't sound happy about it.

00:26:10This cunt doesn't know who she's messing with.

00:26:13She's interfering somewhere she shouldn't.

00:26:16So, what's the plan?

00:26:19I'll handle it.

00:26:28Daphne, haven't you done enough? What do you want now?

00:26:31I need to see you, right now.

00:26:33It's late, and frankly I'm not in the mood. This is gonna have to wait.

00:26:36No, it won't. Meet me at my father's club. I'll be waiting.

00:26:46Daphne, I'm here. What's the origin?

00:26:52It took you long enough.

00:26:54Yeah, I was on my way home. What's this about?

00:26:58Don't play dumb with me, Lucas. You know exactly what this is about.

00:27:03Listen, if this is about Anna, then-

00:27:05Of course it's about her! Do you think I haven't noticed?

00:27:08You're spending too much time together. This is embarrassing.

00:27:12Do you realize how crazy you so?

00:27:15Anna's just my assistant, and that's all there is to it.

00:27:19Don't insult me, Lucas. At least have the decency to own up.

00:27:23I saw the way you looked at her tonight. Let me remind you of something you might have forgotten.

00:27:30My father gave you everything. He mentored you. He invested in you.

00:27:37Without him, you wouldn't even have your company. You owe him. You owe us.

00:27:44Daphne, you know I appreciate everything that your father has done for me. His generosity. But that doesn't mean that-

00:27:52It means! Whatever I say, it means.

00:27:57I like you, Lucas. I hope you would come around. The truth is you have no choice. You're mine. And that's all that matters.

00:28:10Can you hear yourself think? I'm not some dog that you can just yell at to go running around all the time.

00:28:17Get yourself together, Lucas. If you don't, I will tell my father how ungrateful you are.

00:28:24Let's see how loyal he stays to someone who spits on his generosity.

00:28:36Good morning, Anna. Doing well?

00:28:39Good morning, sir. Sorry. Lucas. I just wanted to thank you for driving me home yesterday. It was kind of you. You didn't have to.

00:28:51It was nothing. I'm just doing what Emma would have.

00:28:53Still, it meant a lot to me. I don't know how I was planning to get home after running off.

00:29:01Anna, what's important is that you got home safe. But I would appreciate if my employees did not leave before working hours closed.

00:29:08Alright. I will leave you to your work then.

00:29:10Well, well. If it isn't the employee of the month.

00:29:22What do you want, Jessica?

00:29:24Nothing crazy. I just want you glut.

00:29:27What are you talking about?

00:29:29What are you talking about?

00:29:30Daphne, she's got her clothes in him. She doesn't like competition.

00:29:35I am not competing with anyone.

00:29:38Oh, sweetie. You don't have to be. Just existing near him is enough for her to consider your friend.

00:29:45From what I hear, she's got a little chat with Lucas last night and told him to keep his distance or else.

00:29:54Why are you telling me this?

00:29:56Because I think it will be hilarious to watch you crash and burn your way over your head.

00:30:15Lucas, you've come a long way. I'm proud of you. I've been hearing some troubling reports.

00:30:26Troubling, sir?

00:30:29I hear you become distracted spending too much time with your assistant. Daphne is concerned and frankly, I agree.

00:30:40Mr. Anderson, Anna is just my assistant. And you know I'm not the type of guy to go messing around, especially with work.

00:30:48That's what I've been telling Daphne.

00:30:51Be careful, Lucas. You owe this family and you owe me.

00:30:57I believe this information is outdated. What kind of pressure you're running here?

00:31:16I don't.

00:31:20It must be an oversight on Anna's part. She's new.

00:31:23I apologize for this mix-up and we'll correct this immediately. And listen, I know you've flown here from very, very far away to be here with us today.

00:31:33But let me tell you, I have all the information in my head. So there's no need for us to delay this anymore.

00:31:40You called me, sir?

00:31:42I know you sabotaged Anna.

00:31:44I don't know what you're talking about. The girl is clearly unfit to be here.

00:31:47I'm the one who decides who's fit to work in this company and who isn't.

00:31:51But sir-

00:31:52Don't do it again, Jessica. Or else. All of you. Now get her.

00:32:21Sir, Lucas, um, can I talk to you?

00:32:34What's your mind?

00:32:35I am sorry for appearing unprofessional in front of a client yesterday.

00:32:41But I need to know. Why didn't you defend me? You saw what they did!

00:32:48It's... it's complicated.

00:32:52Complicated? So you're just gonna let them humiliate me? I thought I could count on you!

00:32:58Of course you can count on me, Anna. You know that.

00:33:01You're just like them. I thought you were different.

00:33:06I'm nothing like them! Nothing!

00:33:09I... I... should have said something yesterday, Anna. I'm sorry.

00:33:15Oh, no, no, no.

00:33:25Uh, yeah.

00:33:30Maybe 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.

00:33:51You're long enough to realize that.

00:33:54What 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.

00:34:05The fun's just getting started.

00:34:07You better buckle up.

00:34:27Someone is in the mood.

00:34:39You're late.

00:34:41I assume you had time to think about what we discussed.

00:34:46I'm not here to play games, Daphne.

00:34:49Tell me what this is about.

00:34:50So let's get straight to you.

00:34:52Have you decided to do the right thing?

00:34:55Toss Anna out of the company and just stop this nonsense?

00:35:00The right thing?

00:35:02You mean bending to your every whim?

00:35:06You can't afford to mock me.

00:35:09Let me remind you, Lucas.

00:35:10The clock is ticking.

00:35:12And 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 you, 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.

00:35:34The only mistake I ever made was letting you think you could control me.

00:35:40You're mine, and I can control you.

00:35:42Grow up, Daphne.

00:35:44The world doesn't revolve around you.

00:35:47Wait.

00:35:48You can't leave.

00:35:50Watch me.

00:35:50Hello?

00:36:08Lucas?

00:36:09Hey.

00:36:10I hope it's not too late.

00:36:13No, it's fine.

00:36:14What's going on?

00:36:16I 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.

00:36:30But I didn't stop it either.

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

00:36:35To the person people look down on.

00:36:38I can't imagine anyone looking down on you.

00:36:42But then there's you.

00:36:43You 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.

00:36:51Lucas.

00:36:52I'd like to talk to you in person, if you're okay with it.

00:36:57Fine.

00:36:58Where should we meet?

00:36:59Thanks for coming.

00:37:15It was unexpected.

00:37:17Yeah.

00:37:18I still can't believe I drove all the way out here.

00:37:20Good night, Anne.

00:37:22Good night, Lucas.

00:37:23You didn't have to do this.

00:37:47It's okay.

00:37:49I wanted to.

00:37:50Let's just call it car pull.

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

00:38:08I know the boss.

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

00:38:10Did he come in here, Anna?

00:38:28Looks like it.

00:38:29Wonder what's going on there.

00:38:32This has to be some kind of a joke.

00:38:34Anna with Lucas.

00:38:35She's acting like a show on the place now.

00:38:39It's disgusting.

00:38:41Eh.

00:38:42Who knew the girl we used to shove into the locker room with closing up with the CEO.

00:38:47I guess we underestimated her.

00:38:49This isn't over.

00:38:51Daphne, what are you doing here?

00:39:04You can't just barge into my office.

00:39:07I need to know what is this about?

00:39:10Bringing her to work like some...

00:39:11You're embarrassing yourself.

00:39:14You're embarrassing me.

00:39:16You'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.

00:39:26You think you can just toss aside everything and parade around like that?

00:39:31I said that's enough, Daphne.

00:39:34I don't know what you think you're entitled to, but it ends right now.

00:39:39Lucas, I...

00:39:40I said that's enough.

00:39:42You can't just barge in here and talk about my decisions, my office, my company's decisions.

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

00:39:50Now get out.

00:40:00So, that boss has teeth after all.

00:40:03With me here, I'll be right back.

00:40:13Are you sure?

00:40:14I'm right here, if you mean.

00:40:16Thanks.

00:40:17I'll be fine.

00:40:27Lucas, sit.

00:40:28Sorry, I'm just...

00:40:29I assume you know why I called you here.

00:40:39I have a good idea, sir.

00:40:41Daphne told me everything.

00:40:44How you've rejected her, you embarrassed her.

00:40:48You owe this.

00:40:51You jeopardize in this family's partnership.

00:40:55To be frank, sir, this was never about business.

00:40:59Daphne and I...

00:41:01We're not a good match.

00:41:03And trying to force something that just isn't there is just going to end badly.

00:41:08You don't get to dictate terms here.

00:41:11Lucas, I made you.

00:41:13Without my support, you'd still be digging for scraps.

00:41:16And I appreciate everything you've done for me, sir.

00:41:18But that doesn't mean I owe you my life.

00:41:21You're throwing everything away.

00:41:23For what?

00:41:24For some assistant?

00:41:25You think you could survive without my backing?

00:41:27I'm willing to take that risk.

00:41:29I'm not willing to sacrifice my integrity or let anyone dictate my choices.

00:41:33No matter what the cost.

00:41:36You'll regret this, Lucas.

00:41:37Not my words.

00:41:42Well, well, well.

00:41:45Look who's here.

00:41:47Enjoy a little field trip.

00:41:51And I hope you're ready for what's coming.

00:41:54You're braver than I thought, Anna.

00:41:58Following Lucas like a little shadow.

00:42:00No, I am here because he asked me to come.

00:42:06Lucas doesn't belong in your world.

00:42:09And you certainly don't belong in his.

00:42:13I am not trying to take him away from me, Daphne.

00:42:17Take him away from me?

00:42:19Aren't you confident?

00:42:21Let me make something clear.

00:42:24Lucas is mine.

00:42:26All I'm saying is, I am not a threat.

00:42:31The only threat here is me.

00:42:34Don't mess with me.

00:42:36Or I'll wreck you and him.

00:42:39You can say whatever you want about me, Daphne.

00:42:43But if you try to hurt Lucas, I swear, I'll make you regret it.

00:42:48So, you've got some fight in you after all.

00:42:54I thought all of this was bullied out from you in a high school.

00:42:58You don't scare me, Daphne.

00:43:00I see right through all of the tough talk.

00:43:03Shut up!

00:43:04You don't know what you're talking about!

00:43:06Oh, but I do.

00:43:08You're scared to be rejected for the first time in your life.

00:43:12You think you're clever, huh?

00:43:16Don't you?

00:43:18I think you underestimate me.

00:43:23Enjoy a little moment in the sun.

00:43:25It won't last long.

00:43:35Rough day, huh?

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?

00:43:46She tried threatening me.

00:43:49Made me feel small, like I don't belong in your world.

00:43:54I'm so sorry.

00:43:55You didn't deserve that.

00:43:57It's okay.

00:43:58I kind of stood up to her.

00:44:01Especially when she started threatening you.

00:44:05You did?

00:44:07Well, I wasn't going to let her push me around.

00:44:10Especially when it annoys you.

00:44:14I mean, I knew you were tough.

00:44:16But to stand up to Daphne?

00:44:18That's impressive.

00:44:21Thank you, Anne.

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

00:44:26You know what?

00:44:27I think we deserve a break.

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

00:44:30Lunch?

00:44:31Yeah.

00:44:32I think we deserve it after the morning we've had.

00:44:34Okay.

00:44:35Lunch sounds great.

00:44:36You needed me, sir?

00:44:43Anne, come in and sit down.

00:44:49Anne, because you're new here, you might not know this.

00:44:52But I usually don't spend that amount of time in the headquarters.

00:44:56The reason I'm here is because I've seen some inconsistencies.

00:45:04Um, what do you mean?

00:45:08There's been some inconsistencies.

00:45:10Some money trails that just lead to nowhere.

00:45:13And I suspect someone who's in the office is behind it.

00:45:16Do you mean fraud?

00:45:18Or worse.

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

00:45:22That's why I had to come here and see myself.

00:45:24Does anyone else know?

00:45:28No.

00:45:29The fewer people that know, the better.

00:45:32Then let me help you.

00:45:35This could be dangerous.

00:45:37The person who's behind this won't like the fact that we're poking around.

00:45:41I know, but I want to help.

00:45:44And if there's a problem, we will fix it.

00:45:46All right.

00:45:50I'll show the inconsistencies that I've got so far and we'll follow it till the end.

00:45:56They will paint a bigger picture.

00:45:58Exactly.

00:45:59I'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.

00:46:05I'll start tonight.

00:46:06Anna, thank you.

00:46:09From now on, every department will undergo a thorough audit.

00:46:18And I will personally review the results myself.

00:46:21Isn't this drastic?

00:46:24And not like this could disrupt operations.

00:46:27A little bit of disruption is better than corruption.

00:46:30Don't you think?

00:46:30We're all on the same side, Lucas.

00:46:33You don't have to treat it like a witch hunt.

00:46:36If there's nothing wrong, then there's nothing to hide, is there?

00:46:40Get at my office.

00:46:56It's getting too close.

00:46:58What if it finds out?

00:46:59Then we make sure he doesn't.

00:47:02You mean clean up everything?

00:47:05Exactly.

00:47:06We erase all the trails, adjust the numbers, and tie up loose ends.

00:47:11I don't know.

00:47:12Maybe we should come clean.

00:47:13I could talk to him.

00:47:15And what?

00:47:15Risk us all turning us in?

00:47:17Huh?

00:47:18What do you think?

00:47:18He's just going to let it slide once he sees the whole picture?

00:47:22Maybe.

00:47:22No!

00:47:23We stick to the plan.

00:47:25Keep him distracted.

00:47:26And I will handle the things.

00:47:27What do you mean by handle?

00:47:31Just let me.

00:47:32Leave it to me, okay?

00:47:33Okay?

00:47:33I'll get to the bottom of this.

00:47:53Lucas, I know you're angry.

00:47:55But I think you need to think this through.

00:47:59This company used to stand for something good.

00:48:03But now I find my own people are stealing money?

00:48:05I know, but we will fix this.

00:48:11You have already found out who's behind it.

00:48:13This is the first step.

00:48:15Fix this?

00:48:16How can we fix this?

00:48:17These are people I trusted.

00:48:20By holding them accountable.

00:48:23Losing your head now will only make it harder for us to find out who's behind it.

00:48:28You're right.

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

00:48:35But how do we catch them?

00:48:38We don't even know their identities.

00:48:39They've not made a single mistake.

00:48:43They might be smart.

00:48:45But we will be smarter.

00:48:48What do you suggest?

00:48:48We will give them something they can't resist.

00:48:54We'll set a trap for them.

00:48:57Do you think they'll fall for it?

00:48:58I mean, they know I'm on this witch hunt right now.

00:49:02They are after the money.

00:49:04Right?

00:49:05They may be smart enough to cover their tracks.

00:49:12And they might hide it well.

00:49:15But they are still after the money.

00:49:18Your money.

00:49:19You know what?

00:49:19You're right.

00:49:20I mean, after all this, they are just thieves.

00:49:23Just they want to follow the money.

00:49:25Yeah.

00:49:26Trust me.

00:49:28They will fall for it.

00:49:29And you will catch them red-handed.

00:49:32With their dirty paws in the cookie jar.

00:49:35Lucas?

00:49:47Lucas!

00:49:48Lucas!

00:49:49Lukas?

00:50:00Lukas!

00:50:03Lukas!

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

00:50:09Hello.

00:50:11Yes, my boss just collapsed.

00:50:15Luminous.

00:50:16Are you his colleague?

00:50:18Yeah, we are his employees.

00:50:20I found him in the office.

00:50:22How is he?

00:50:24He's stable for now, but we can't say for sure.

00:50:27We found trace of poisonous substances in his liver.

00:50:32Are you saying Lukas was poisoned?

00:50:34How?

00:50:36We are running further tests to learn more about that,

00:50:39but I suggest you to inform the authorities.

00:50:42Lukas was poisoned.

00:50:44You!

00:50:46What did you do to him?

00:50:48What are you talking about?

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

00:50:53Yeah, and you're very unusually close to him.

00:50:55Do you expect us to ignore that?

00:50:57Are you serious?

00:50:59I found him!

00:51:00How convenient.

00:51:02And if you think I've hurt Lukas, you know nothing about me!

00:51:10What happened to my Lukas?

00:51:12I am sure that Jessica told you everything you wanted to know.

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

00:51:20I didn't.

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

00:51:23You don't have it in you.

00:51:26You're far too weak for that.

00:51:28So, why are you here?

00:51:31Why talking to me?

00:51:33I came to tell you

00:51:34that whoever did this

00:51:37won't get away with that.

00:51:39Lukas is mine.

00:51:41Nobody touches him except me.

00:51:45Who would ever do this to you?

00:51:48I am so confused.

00:51:50You really are naive.

00:51:53So innocent.

00:51:55I see why Lukas wants you around.

00:51:57What are you talking about?

00:51:59You and Lukas were in the middle of a witch hunt.

00:52:02Lukas wanted to find

00:52:04those who were allegedly stealing from him.

00:52:08I think Lukas might have come too close.

00:52:12They poisoned him?

00:52:13Those thieves poisoned him?

00:52:16Certainly seems so.

00:52:20Just know this.

00:52:21If they can aim at Lukas,

00:52:24what makes you think you aim next?

00:52:29Think about it.

00:52:30He's stable for now,

00:52:41but he's not showing

00:52:42any signs of waking up.

00:52:44Lukas is strong.

00:52:46He'll pull through.

00:52:47I will find out who did this to you.

00:52:58I swear.

00:53:00Anna,

00:53:01how's Lukas?

00:53:04He's fighting.

00:53:05Yeah,

00:53:07he does that.

00:53:09If there's anything I can do to help,

00:53:11just say a word.

00:53:13Um,

00:53:14I will let you know if anything comes up.

00:53:17Good.

00:53:18Keep me in the loop.

00:53:19Like it or not,

00:53:20but Lukas is an investment

00:53:22to me and my father.

00:53:25And we

00:53:25take care of our investment.

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

00:53:30Hey,

00:53:31I'm not the enemy here.

00:53:33We both want the same thing.

00:53:38Please,

00:53:38just go.

00:53:39I just can't right now.

00:53:41Please,

00:53:41just leave.

00:53:42I just can't right now.

00:53:42Please,

00:53:43just leave.

00:53:44I just can't right now.

00:53:45Please,

00:53:45just leave.

00:54:00Nathan,

00:54:02what are you hiding?

00:54:05All of these transactions

00:54:07to untraceable accounts.

00:54:11Nathan,

00:54:12you're not as clever as you think.

00:54:15You definitely had some major help.

00:54:20Anna?

00:54:24What are you still doing here?

00:54:26I'm going through company's records.

00:54:28I'm going to finish what Lukas started.

00:54:31It's probably just an error

00:54:33that happened when I'm putting.

00:54:35Mistakes happen sometimes.

00:54:38This looks deliberate,

00:54:39Jessica.

00:54:41If you know something,

00:54:43Jessica,

00:54:44now is the time to speak up.

00:54:47I don't know anything.

00:54:49Why do you even ask me that?

00:54:53I'd better let you work.

00:54:56Just take it easy.

00:54:58You're a scary summer with a fox.

00:55:01Those with something to hide

00:55:02better be afraid.

00:55:09Nathan's name keeps popping up,

00:55:11but who else isn't willing?

00:55:13I figured you'd still be here.

00:55:24Any leads?

00:55:25Not yet.

00:55:27But I will find whoever did this.

00:55:30Yes, of course you will.

00:55:33Let me know if I can help.

00:55:34I'll find them, Lukas.

00:55:46I promise.

00:55:50Nathan's name keeps appearing,

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

00:55:56He can't be doing this alone.

00:55:57Hey, Anna.

00:56:03How is this going?

00:56:08What do you want, Jessica?

00:56:09I don't have time for this.

00:56:12Don't push yourself so hard.

00:56:15Since when did you start caring?

00:56:19What do you know about these transactions?

00:56:21Um, Nathan handles that department, you know.

00:56:26Maybe he can explain you better.

00:56:30You've been signing off

00:56:31some of these transactions, Jessica.

00:56:34What's going on?

00:56:36It's not a procedure.

00:56:38Nathan tells me to sign off,

00:56:40and I do,

00:56:41because I assume everything is in order.

00:56:43We'll move the rest of the money soon.

00:57:02Just stay quiet.

00:57:04Anna's already asking questions about you.

00:57:07She's not as clueless as you think.

00:57:08I'll protect you, Lukas.

00:57:34No matter what it takes.

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

00:57:44And he got Jessica to sign on it, too.

00:57:48Where did the money go to?

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

00:57:55How could he be doing this?

00:57:58And who is he sending all this cash to?

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

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

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

00:58:11She's not going to find anything.

00:58:12Because we've covered up our asses.

00:58:14But what if?

00:58:16If she gets too close,

00:58:17I'll handle her too.

00:58:19Okay?

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

00:58:22Did you pause on Lukas?

00:58:24Or are you the one who did that?

00:58:27Stop asking me stupid questions.

00:58:30I said I will handle it.

00:58:31And I did.

00:58:32That's all you need to know.

00:58:34Yeah.

00:58:34You hurt him.

00:58:38You hurt Lukas.

00:58:41You sound just like Anna right now.

00:58:43So naive.

00:58:45I did what I had to do.

00:58:46To cover our asses.

00:58:48Okay?

00:58:49Now stop whining.

00:58:51And get out of my office.

00:58:56It's taking so long.

00:58:58Anna is getting closer every day.

00:58:59And why are we meeting in this dark parking lot?

00:59:03We have to avoid ice.

00:59:05We're all under heat.

00:59:07As for Anna,

00:59:08we've got her under control.

00:59:10She's smart.

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

00:59:13She's closer than you think.

00:59:16You keep underestimating her.

00:59:19And she came going as to rest.

00:59:23I told you to handle it.

00:59:25If she figures out I'm involved...

00:59:27That is your problem.

00:59:29Remember?

00:59:30You wanted to end on this.

00:59:34You came to us.

00:59:36We shouldn't fighting ourselves.

00:59:38Our enemy is Anna.

00:59:41We are underestimating her.

00:59:43Well...

00:59:45She shouldn't have gotten that job.

00:59:49Damn it, Lucas.

00:59:50What's done is done.

00:59:52How do we get rid of her?

00:59:55I told you to handle it.

00:59:57If she figures out I'm involved...

00:59:59That is your problem.

01:00:01Remember?

01:00:02Daphne?

01:00:03You wanted to.

01:00:04You too?

01:00:06How deep does this rabbit hole go?

01:00:09I am so close, Lucas.

01:00:21Just hold on.

01:00:25Lucas?

01:00:26Can you hear me?

01:00:34I'll end this.

01:00:36I promise.

01:00:39What brings you here?

01:00:49Nothing much.

01:00:51I just needed some help understanding these reports.

01:00:58This?

01:01:00This is nothing.

01:01:02It's just routine transactions.

01:01:05Routine?

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

01:01:11You authorize them.

01:01:14Look, Anna.

01:01:15You wouldn't understand.

01:01:17See, Lucas trusted me to handle these complex things.

01:01:21This is why I get paid so much.

01:01:23So Lucas knew about all of this?

01:01:27Lucas knew about the offshore accounts?

01:01:29Let's just say when Lucas doesn't know no one hurt him.

01:01:33Or didn't in this case.

01:01:36It was you.

01:01:38You!

01:01:39Careful now.

01:01:40You don't want to go around pointing fingers when you are the prime suspect.

01:01:44I didn't poison Lucas.

01:01:48And you know that.

01:01:49Of course not.

01:01:50But what matters is, others don't.

01:01:54When they look at you, they see some opportunistic cold digger.

01:01:58They see someone who tried to kill her boss after warming herself.
