00:00:00That's weird, the email's at 6.30. Well, I'm here.
00:00:21This place is huge. I hope I get this. I really need this job.
00:00:27You can go in. She will see you now.
00:00:39Good morning. I'm Anna and I'm excited to be here. Thought I'd see more people though.
00:00:47Oh, Anna. You're as dumb as ever.
00:00:53Well, well, well. If it isn't the filthy Anna, welcome to Luminous.
00:01:01I see. You're still wearing sad colours. We could have done a better job in your first interview.
00:01:07What are you guys doing here? What's going on?
00:01:11Shut it. We're here to conduct your interview, genius. We obviously work here.
00:01:17Unfortunately, you're not doing great in the first interview. Also, we have a strict no-trash policy.
00:01:29Why are you doing this? You're as mean as you were in high school. Let me go. I don't have time for this.
00:01:38But you need this job. So stay good like a little good girl.
00:01:45The CEO is back. He is in the building. Get out, Bill. My CEO is...
00:01:55Can someone explain to me why there's a woman on my shoes?
00:02:01Is this what happens in my company when I'm not around?
00:02:05Serious pleasure to have you here. Um, she was just on her way out.
00:02:09She came for an interview, but it's fair to say she isn't company material.
00:02:14You're being awfully quiet. Is it true you came in for an interview?
00:02:18Yes, sir.
00:02:19I'm the one who decides exactly if she's company material or not.
00:02:24Now, what's your name and why were you on my floor?
00:02:27She tripped on her way out.
00:02:29I wasn't talking to you, Jessica. The lady can answer for herself. You can talk to me.
00:02:38My name is Anna. I got an email saying I should come in for the interview.
00:02:43I was excited because I really need this job.
00:02:47Turns out it was just a stupid joke.
00:02:50A joke? What do you mean a joke?
00:02:54Let's just say your employees are the same mean kids they were years ago.
00:03:00I see. I can't say I'm not surprised, just disappointed.
00:03:08Well, Miss Anna, I'm sorry that you had to go through whatever these two buffoons have cooked up for you.
00:03:15And I'm sorry that I couldn't have been there to prevent you from going through that ordeal.
00:03:19The most I can do is give you a job.
00:03:24What are you talking about?
00:03:26How would you like to work for me, Miss Anna?
00:03:28You can resume work tomorrow as assistant to the CEO.
00:03:32Doesn't that sound good?
00:03:34Yes, sir.
00:03:40What is he planning?
00:03:44You'll explain to me why you thought it appropriate to choose an applicant like you did today.
00:03:49Sir, we didn't mean-
00:03:50Didn't mean to what? To humiliate her? To mock her? To laugh at someone who came here for an opportunity?
00:03:59We were just having a lot of fun. It wasn't something that serious. And we know her from way back.
00:04:04Sir, it was just harmless fun.
00:04:06Fun? You thought that was fun? That was cruel. And in this working environment there is no place for cruelty.
00:04:14With all due respect, sir, she isn't exactly our hire. She has no place here either.
00:04:21And that's not your decision to make. If I ever see you treat anyone like you did today, both of you are out.
00:04:29You will be so fast that you won't have time to go and pack away your desks. This is your last warning.
00:04:35Next time I catch you, you're done.
00:04:41What's his problem?
00:04:44I don't know. He's more than I expected, you know. He's a powerful man. And I can feel it.
00:04:52But there is something about him. Doesn't he feel familiar to you?
00:04:57Whatever. That's not important. What matters is that Anna is a problem.
00:05:04Let's make sure she regrets ever stepping foot in this building.
00:05:09Good morning, sir.
00:05:17Hey, good morning, Anna.
00:05:18I got you some coffee on my way to work. And here are some files you requested.
00:05:24You bought the coffee? You know we have a coffee machine in the break room, right?
00:05:30Crap.
00:05:31Oh, careful. You wouldn't want a coffee stain disaster to start the day now, would you?
00:05:35I am so sorry, sir. Guess I'm still fine in my footing.
00:05:40I get it. First days are always messy.
00:05:44I will do my best, sir. I mean it. I won't let you regret giving me a chance.
00:05:50Please, call me Lucas. Sir just makes me feel old.
00:05:55Tell me, Anna. Do you know me from before now?
00:05:59I don't think so, Lucas. I'm pretty sure I would remember someone like you.
00:06:17How does anyone get this thing to work?
00:06:20It's not a spaceship, you know.
00:06:23Damn it. You scared the shit out of me.
00:06:25Here, let me show you.
00:06:26Let me show you.
00:06:30I think I got it now. Thank you.
00:06:32You're doing great, Anna.
00:06:33Better than most on the first date.
00:06:45Daphne.
00:06:46Lucas, darling. I hope you're ready.
00:06:49I'll be in this city for a few days. Lucky you. I'm gonna be stopping by just to see you.
00:06:56Great. Can't wait.
00:06:57Can't wait.
00:07:11Here is your coffee, sir. Um, Lucas.
00:07:15Thank you. I can't see how well I look forward to my morning coffee, sir.
00:07:18It's my pleasure. I got you on the good stuff.
00:07:22Lucas? Surprise?
00:07:25It's not technically a surprise when you call ahead, Daphne.
00:07:30I didn't know you hired a new help.
00:07:34Help?
00:07:35Daphne, this is Anna. My new assistant. She's been a great help.
00:07:41Assistant? Interesting.
00:07:46I thought you had higher standards for hiring personal help around here.
00:07:53I'll leave you two to talk.
00:07:56No, no, no, Anna. Stay.
00:07:58Daphne, why exactly are you here?
00:08:01It can't just be to see me. How's the old man?
00:08:05Ah, the old man is fine. I'm just checking in.
00:08:09I thought we can have a lunch together. It's been too long since we caught up.
00:08:14As you can see, I'm swamped here. So maybe another time that's more convenient.
00:08:19Of course. I'm busy as always.
00:08:21You know how it is.
00:08:24In fact, how about you contact Anna and she'll fix you in with a time that's more available to me.
00:08:31Well, Anna, enjoy your position here. It's not often Lucas lets just anyone into his circle.
00:08:42Um, thank you, ma'am.
00:08:44You know, Lucas, not everyone has your best interests and there are so many gold diggers these days.
00:08:54Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, Daphne.
00:08:58We'll talk soon.
00:08:59Um, should I go?
00:09:00No, no. Stay, please. Let's continue with this work.
00:09:11Daphne, it's been a while.
00:09:12Jessica, you look... the same.
00:09:13What this about? You're not usually the let's have lunch type. In fact, I was sure you hated my guts.
00:09:30Anna still do, so let's keep the small talk. We both want the same thing, to get Anna away from Lucas.
00:09:38Finally, someone else sees it. That little nobody just acting like she belongs there. She's running her way into Lucas' heart.
00:09:51She doesn't belong, but you're right, she's getting too close to Lucas and that is a problem.
00:09:58Huh? Who's your target?
00:10:00Lucas is mine and has always been. Lucas and I are a perfect match, so I won't let any nobody assistant ruin that.
00:10:13Well, she's annoyingly resilient. Believe me, I've tried and Lucas seems to have a soft spot for her.
00:10:24Then try her. With my influence and your directness, we can make her quit.
00:10:30I'm listening. What's your plan?
00:10:35We'll hit her from both sides. At work, you gotta keep her busy, undermine her confidence, just make her feel out of place.
00:10:45Hmm, that's easy.
00:10:46And outside of work, I'll handle Lucas. I'll plant a doubt about her confidence and just remind him that she's beneath him.
00:10:58Divide and concur. I like it.
00:11:02Good. Let's keep it between us. Lucas can't know we're working together.
00:11:07You don't have to tell me twice. I can lose my job. For what? We deserve.
00:11:15I don't toast with a cup of coffee.
00:11:22Thank you for bringing me alone. I promise, I won't mess this up.
00:11:27You won't. Just be yourself. And you should give yourself more credit.
00:11:37I'll do it.
00:11:38I'll do it.
00:11:39I'll do it.
00:11:40I'll do it.
00:11:41I'll do it.
00:11:42I'll do it.
00:11:43I'll do it.
00:11:44I'll do it.
00:11:45I'll do it.
00:11:46I'll do it.
00:11:48I'll do it.
00:11:49I'll do it.
00:11:50I'll do it.
00:11:51I'll do it.
00:11:52So, I think you'll be very, very impressed.
00:11:54Your assistant this year, Mr. Gonzales.
00:11:57Yes, she is.
00:11:58We pride ourselves on having the best employees in this company.
00:12:02And Anna, she's a model example of that.
00:12:08Thank you very much for your time.
00:12:09Get home safe, okay?
00:12:11Bye-bye.
00:12:18You didn't have to say that back there.
00:12:21I did.
00:12:22It's true.
00:12:23You know it.
00:12:24They know it.
00:12:25Thanks.
00:12:27I wish you could tell that to high school me.
00:12:30Why?
00:12:32What can I say?
00:12:33I was bullied a lot.
00:12:35Kids can be cruel, you know.
00:12:36Yeah.
00:12:37I know.
00:12:38It was terrible.
00:12:40I had no friends.
00:12:43There was this one kid though.
00:12:46He was shy and kind.
00:12:48And was bullied a lot because of that.
00:12:51I don't even know his name.
00:12:55I wonder what happened to him.
00:12:57Maybe he turned out okay.
00:12:59I really hope so.
00:13:00He deserved better.
00:13:01Thanks, Lucas.
00:13:02I can't remember the last time.
00:13:03I just relaxed.
00:13:04You know what?
00:13:05Me neither.
00:13:06You know, for a CEO, you are pretty down to earth.
00:13:07And you're pretty amazing for an assistant.
00:13:08Oh, it's Lucas now.
00:13:09Look at you.
00:13:10Little miss assistant.
00:13:11Who knew crawling on the floor could get you promotion.
00:13:12Oh, it's Lucas now.
00:13:13Look at you.
00:13:14Little miss assistant.
00:13:15Who knew crawling on the floor could get you promotion.
00:13:16Oh, it's Lucas now.
00:13:17Look at you.
00:13:18Little miss assistant.
00:13:19Who knew crawling on the floor could get you promotion.
00:13:20The CEO might have bought you a sobbing story.
00:13:21But we know the truth.
00:13:22You don't belong here.
00:13:23I earned my spot here.
00:13:24And you're pretty amazing.
00:13:25And you're pretty amazing for an assistant.
00:13:26And you're pretty amazing for an assistant.
00:13:28Oh, whoa.
00:13:29Where are you going?
00:13:30Excuse me.
00:13:31I need to get this to Lucas.
00:13:32Get out of my way.
00:13:33Oh, it's Lucas now.
00:13:34Look at you.
00:13:35Little miss assistant.
00:13:36Who knew crawling on the floor could get you promotion.
00:13:40The CEO might have bought you a sobbing story.
00:13:44But we know the truth.
00:13:45You don't belong here.
00:13:46I earned my spot here.
00:13:48Just like everyone else.
00:13:50Did you?
00:13:51Or did you just remind Lucas of some pathetic sob story from high school?
00:13:55Oh, poor bullet Anna.
00:13:58Boo hoo.
00:14:00You think your life was miserable back then?
00:14:03That was nothing.
00:14:04Oh, honey.
00:14:05We've got resources now.
00:14:06And you've got enemies in high places.
00:14:09Just imagine what we can do to your career.
00:14:12Why?
00:14:13Why are you doing this?
00:14:15You've got everything you wanted.
00:14:17Why am I still a threat to you?
00:14:19Because you don't deserve to be here.
00:14:22Simple.
00:14:23Quit, Anna.
00:14:24Or we'll make sure your life here is just as bad as it was in high school.
00:14:30Oh, no.
00:14:31You better pick that up, assistant.
00:14:35Anna, everything okay?
00:14:36Yes.
00:14:37I'm still getting used to the office.
00:14:38It's just so big.
00:14:39Mm-hmm.
00:14:40Mm-hmm.
00:14:41Mm-hmm.
00:14:42If anyone ever gives you any problems here, you'll be fine.
00:14:43I'm still getting used to the office.
00:14:44It's just so big.
00:14:45Mm-hmm.
00:14:46Mm-hmm.
00:14:47If anyone ever gives you any problems here, you can come to me.
00:14:48Understand?
00:14:49Yes, sir.
00:14:50Mm-hmm.
00:14:51Mm-hmm.
00:14:52Mm-hmm.
00:14:53Mm-hmm.
00:14:54If anyone ever gives you any problems here, you can come to me.
00:14:55Understand?
00:14:56Yes, sir.
00:14:58Hey, Dad.
00:14:59I've been thinking about Lucas again.
00:15:01Hi, IāMāMāMāMāM-MāMāMāMāM.
00:15:03Yes, I'm still getting used to the office.
00:15:04Mm-mm-māMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāMāM MāMāM.
00:15:07If anyone ever gives you any problems here, you can come to me. Understand?
00:15:12Yes, sir.
00:15:23Hey, Dad. I've been thinking about Lucas again.
00:15:27What about him?
00:15:29Well, remember you told me to settle down and start looking for a partner?
00:15:36I think Lucas might be the one. Think about it. He's intelligent, ambitious and his company has been taken off. You told that to me.
00:15:49Well, he has exceeded even my expectations.
00:15:52Exactly. He's the ideal partner for me. He's everything you raved about and you basically shaped him to be so.
00:16:00Well, you're not wrong. He has proven himself to be more than capable in every sense. However, does he share the same feelings? Does he see it that way?
00:16:13Well, not yet, but he will after you speak to him. He needs to see how well we complement each other and I will be his always choice.
00:16:26Well, the match does make sense. Lucas is a stubborn man. He might not see things your way immediately. Might not be.
00:16:35Then we'll show him. Invite him for dinner, Daddy.
00:16:40Very well. I'll speak with him tomorrow. I must say that Lucas isn't easily convinced. So, if he does agree, it's because you convinced him, not because I said.
00:16:51Leave the convincing to me, Dad.
00:17:06Mr. Anderson, sir.
00:17:10Good morning, Lucas, my boy. I hope I'm not interrupting.
00:17:13No, no, not at all, sir. You know it's always a pleasure when you call me. How can I help?
00:17:18I wanted to invite you for dinner tomorrow evening. Just you, Daphne and me. Nothing formal, son. Just a chance to talk and catch up.
00:17:26Well, dinner sounds like a lovely idea. I'd be honored.
00:17:29Seven sharp. Daphne is looking forward to it.
00:17:32Sounds great. Looking forward to it.
00:17:34Good. See you tomorrow, Lucas.
00:17:36Goodbye, sir.
00:17:48Anna, could you come in a moment?
00:17:56You need me, sir? Mr. Lucas?
00:17:58I've been invited for dinner tomorrow night at the Anderson's, my mentor's house.
00:18:02And I was wondering if you might accompany me. I'm sure Daphne will enjoy the company.
00:18:07I appreciate the offer, but I don't think that's appropriate. You see, it's a personal dinner and I would probably feel out of place.
00:18:21I see. Well, thank you for being honest.
00:18:25I'm sure it will go well, sir. You don't need me there.
00:18:28I'm sure it will. Well, thank you, Anna. That will be all.
00:18:40Lucas, it's always a pleasure having you around. But you've been so busy making great strides that you hardly stop by anymore.
00:18:47I am sorry, sir. It's just, I've been out of town for a few months and ever since I've come back, I've been so busy organizing the operations at Luminous.
00:18:55But I really do awe you everything, sir.
00:18:59Oh, so stop it. I've always said you're one of my brightest aunties.
00:19:04And that's why you're here tonight, Lucas.
00:19:08Father and I want you to feel like family.
00:19:14Oh, thank you. I appreciate it a lot. And I really do consider both of you as family, too.
00:19:20Well, Lucas, you've made a remarkable life for yourself. And I think that success is best shared, don't you, Lee?
00:19:30You're right, sir. I mean, life is better with the right people.
00:19:36In that spirit, I think you and Daphne would make a wonderful team.
00:19:42Not just in business, but in life.
00:19:45Father, you're embarrassing him.
00:19:49I'm honored in your confidence in me, sir.
00:19:53And your daughter Daphne is an extraordinary woman, but I just...
00:19:57I think you're extraordinary, too. And you know exactly what Father is talking about.
00:20:04We belong together.
00:20:06That's kind of you to say, Daphne. I'm really flattered, but I just...
00:20:11Well, Lucas, think about it.
00:20:15And just think that you'll be part of this family and you'll be my son.
00:20:22Thank 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.
00:20:38No, no, no. We'll be perfect.
00:20:42I don't know what to say, Daphne. I just... I need to go.
00:20:44No, no, no, no.
00:20:55Anna, can you come in for a moment, please?
00:21:00You need me, sir?
00:21:02Yes, Anna. Please take a seat. I need to vent for a minute.
00:21:06Since when did you start venting? This sounds serious.
00:21:13Wait, is it about yesterday's dinner?
00:21:17You have no idea. Hell, I had no idea.
00:21:20I just walked in there and...
00:21:23Well, what happened?
00:21:25It was so awkward. Your Mr. Anderson practice suggested that I should be together with Daphne.
00:21:31As a couple.
00:21:32Well, I could have told you that.
00:21:37She has been circling you like a hawk since the day I started here.
00:21:42Mr. Anderson thinks it's a great idea.
00:21:45He's my mentor. I just owe him so much.
00:21:49And I...
00:21:51Well, can you blame her?
00:21:54Look at you, Lucas. What woman wouldn't want you?
00:21:57You're smart, successful, and well, you're you.
00:22:04Thanks for the confidence boost, but that's just not the problem.
00:22:10What is?
00:22:12The problem is...
00:22:14I'm thinking of someone else.
00:22:17You do?
00:22:18Yeah, but I don't know how to let Daphne down without disappointing Mr. Anderson.
00:22:23I see what you mean.
00:22:25That could be tricky.
00:22:27I just don't want to hurt anyone.
00:22:29Especially not her or him.
00:22:33Hey, it's alright, Lucas.
00:22:36You will do the right thing.
00:22:38If we adjust the timeline here, we can meet the targets without pushing the team too hard.
00:22:44Good idea. You really have a good eye for detail.
00:22:51I hope I'm not interrupting Lucas.
00:22:55Daphne, this is unexpected. What brings you here on the most?
00:23:00I trust you to skip the pleasantries.
00:23:01I assume you've given it some thought.
00:23:07To be honest, I've not had any time, Daphne.
00:23:13And is she what you've been so busy with?
00:23:17My name is Anna, Mr. Anderson.
00:23:20We've met before. I'm Mr. Lucas' assistant.
00:23:23I know exactly what you are. I can feel the stench from a mile away.
00:23:28That's enough!
00:23:29That 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...
00:23:45Save 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!
00:23:57I am not yours!
00:23:58Anna, stop! Wait!
00:24:00You can't let her get to you.
00:24:02Here, let me drive you home.
00:24:03I'm so sorry you had to see all of that. Daphne had no right to talk to you that way.
00:24:04I still can't believe she said that.
00:24:05It's fine. I should have expected it.
00:24:06I don't exactly know what you're doing.
00:24:07I'm so sorry you had to see all of that. Daphne had no right to talk to you that way.
00:24:10I still can't believe she said that.
00:24:11It's fine. I should have expected it. I don't exactly fit in there.
00:24:12I don't exactly fit in there.
00:24:13Don't say that. You fit in there more than any of them, more than you know.
00:24:14Why would you defend me like that?
00:24:15Why would you defend me like that?
00:24:16You're supposed to...
00:24:17Why would you do that?
00:24:18You're supposed to...
00:24:19Why would you do that?
00:24:20Why would you do that?
00:24:21Let me drive you home.
00:24:22I'm so sorry you had to see all of that. Daphne had no right to talk to you that way.
00:24:27I still can't believe she said that.
00:24:29It's fine. I should have expected it. I don't exactly fit in there.
00:24:35Don't say that. You fit in there more than any of them, more than you know.
00:24:40Why would you defend me like that? You're supposed to be on her side. She's your...
00:24:48That's not true. I know you. I've known you longer than you know.
00:24:54I know you to be kind and real. More real than any of them.
00:24:59How could you possibly know that?
00:25:01It's a long story and I promise I'll tell you soon.
00:25:06Just trust me for now. But right now we have to get you home.
00:25:11Thank you, Lucas. For everything. You didn't have to do any of this.
00:25:17Anytime.
00:25:19Goodnight, Lucas.
00:25:20Goodnight, Anne.
00:25:21You should have seen her earlier. I've been turning up the heat. Making sure she knows she doesn't belong here.
00:25:32She's putting on the brave face. There's nothing new.
00:25:36Just not like that. I think she's winning him over. Lucas and Pamela, they're getting closer.
00:25:45What is that supposed to mean?
00:25:48Just another day, I overheard him talking to her. He was complaining about the dinner and something with your father's proposal.
00:26:00He said that?
00:26:01Word for word. And he didn't sound happy about it.
00:26:06This cunt doesn't know who she's messing with. She's interfering somewhere she shouldn't.
00:26:15So, what's the plan?
00:26:18I'll handle it.
00:26:19Daphne, haven't you done enough? What do you want now?
00:26:30I need to see you. Right now.
00:26:32It's late and frankly I'm not in the mood. This is going to have to wait.
00:26:36No, it won't. Meet me at my father's club. I'll be waiting.
00:26:40Daphne, 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?
00:26:57Don't play dumb with me, Lucas. You know exactly what this is about.
00:27:02Listen, if this is about Anna, then...
00:27:04Of course it's about her. Do you think I haven't noticed?
00:27:06You're spending too much time together. This is embarrassing.
00:27:11Do you realize how crazy you saw?
00:27:14Anna's just my assistant and that's all there is to it.
00:27:18Don't insult me, Lucas. At least have the decency to own up.
00:27:23I saw the way you looked at her tonight.
00:27:26Let me remind you of something you might have forgotten.
00:27:30My father gave you everything.
00:27:32He mentored you. He invested in you.
00:27:36Without him, you wouldn't even have your company.
00:27:39You owe him. You owe us.
00:27:43Daphne, you know I appreciate everything that your father has done for you.
00:27:49His generosity. But that doesn't mean that...
00:27:51It means. Whatever I say, it means.
00:27:54I like you, Lucas. I'd hope you would come around.
00:28:02The truth is you have no choice. You're mine. And that's all that matters.
00:28:09Can you hear yourself think? I'm not some dog that you can just yell at to go running around all the time.
00:28:15Get yourself together, Lucas. If you don't, I will tell my father how ungrateful you are.
00:28:23Let's see how loyal he stays to someone who spits on his generosity.
00:28:27Good morning, Anna. Doing well?
00:28:38Good morning, sir. Oh, sorry. Lucas.
00:28:42I just want to thank you for driving me home yesterday.
00:28:47It was kind of you. You didn't have to.
00:28:50It was nothing. I'm just doing what Emma would have.
00:28:52Still, Anna. 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.
00:29:04But I would appreciate if my employees did not leave before working hours closed.
00:29:09Alright. I will leave you to your work then.
00:29:11Well, well, if it isn't the employee of the month.
00:29:22What do you want, Jessica?
00:29:24Nothing crazy. I just want to glut.
00:29:27What are you talking about?
00:29:29Daphne, she's got her clothes in him. She doesn't like competition.
00:29:35I am not competing with anyone.
00:29:37Oh, 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.
00:29:50And 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.
00:30:04Lucas, you've come a long way.
00:30:16I'm proud of you.
00:30:19I've been hearing some troubling reports.
00:30:24Troubling, sir?
00:30:25I hear you become distracted spending too much time with your assistant.
00:30:35Daphne is concerned and frankly, I agree.
00:30:39Mr. Anderson, Anna is just my assistant.
00:30:42And you know I'm not the type of guy to go messing around, especially with work.
00:30:46That's what I've been telling Daphne.
00:30:50Be careful, Lucas. You owe this family and you owe me.
00:30:55I believe this information is outdated. What kind of pressure you're running here?
00:31:14I don't...
00:31:16It 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.
00:31:27And listen, I know you've flown here from very, very far away to be here with us today.
00:31:32But let me tell you, I have all the information in my head.
00:31:36So there's no need for us to delay this anymore.
00:31:39You called me, sir?
00:31:40I know you sabotaged Anna.
00:31:43I 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.
00:31:50But sir...
00:31:51Don't do it again, Jessica. Or else.
00:31:54All of you. Now get her.
00:32:10Don't do it again, Greg.
00:32:12So, Lucas. Can I talk to you?
00:32:17What's your mind?
00:32:19Sir, Lucas, um, can I talk to you?
00:32:34What's your mind?
00:32:36I am sorry for appearing unprofessional in front of a client yesterday.
00:32:42But I need to know, why didn't you defend me?
00:32:46You saw what they did!
00:32:47It's... it's complicated.
00:32:53Complicated? So you're just gonna let them humiliate me?
00:32:56I thought I could count on you!
00:32:58Of course you can count on me, Anna. You know that.
00:33:02You'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.
00:33:17I don't know.
00:33:22Maybe 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.
00:33:53What are you doing here?
00:33:55This is an employee's lounge, genius.
00:33:58The 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.
00:34:07You're alone.
00:34:13I did something.
00:34:14I'm tired.
00:34:14Yeah.
00:34:14I'm tired.
00:34:15I'm tired.
00:34:16I'm tired.
00:34:17I'm tired.
00:34:19I'm tired.
00:34:20I love you.
00:34:21I can't do this.
00:34:22I'm tired.
00:34:23I can't do this.
00:34:24I can't do this.
00:34:24I can't do this.
00:34:26Someone is in the mood.
00:34:38You'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.
00:34:48Tell me what this is about.
00:34:50So let's get straight to you.
00:34:52Have you decided to do the right thing?
00:34:54Toss Anna out of the company and just stop this nonsense.
00:35:00The right thing.
00:35:01You mean bending to your every whim.
00:35:05You can't afford to mock me.
00:35:08Let me remind you, Lucas.
00:35:10The clock is ticking.
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.
00:35:40You're mine and I can control you.
00:35:42Grow up, Daphne.
00:35:43The world doesn't revolve around you.
00:35:47Wait.
00:35:48You can't leave.
00:35:49Watch me.
00:35:50Look at me.
00:35:55Oh, my God.
00:35:56Hello.
00:36:09Lucas?
00:36:09Hey.
00:36:10I hope it's not too late.

00:40:55to be frank sir this was never about business daphne and i
00:41:01were not a good match and trying to force something that just isn't there is just gonna end badly
00:41:07you don't get to dictate terms here lucas i made you without my support you'd still be digging for
00:41:15scraps and i appreciate everything you've done for me sir but that doesn't mean i owe you my life
00:41:21you're throwing everything away for what for some assistant you think you could survive without my
00:41:26backing i'm willing to take that risk i'm not willing to sacrifice my integrity or let anyone dictate my
00:41:32choices no matter what the cost you'll regret this lucas about my words
00:41:42well well well look who's here

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 fighting you after all i thought all of this was bullied out from you in a high
00:42:57school you don't scare me daphne i see right through all of the tough talk shut up you don't know what you're
00:43:04talking about oh but i do you're scared to be rejected for the first time in your life
00:43:13you think you're clever huh don't you i think you underestimate me
00:43:20enjoy a little moment in the sun it won't last long
00:43:35rough day huh you could say that i can't say i'm surprised
00:43:42so i take it daphne found you when i was up speaking to her father
00:43:45she tried threatening me made me feel small like i don't belong in your world
00:43:54i'm so sorry you didn't deserve that it's okay i kind of stood up to her especially when she started
00:44:03threatening you you did well i wasn't going to let her push me around especially when it ignored you
00:44:12i mean i knew you were tough but to stand up to daphne that's impressive
00:44:21thank you it's nice to know that someone has my back
00:44:26you know what i think we deserve a break how about we stop for some lunch on the way back
00:44:30lunch yeah i think we deserve it after the morning we've had okay lunch sounds great
00:44:36you needed me sir anna come in and sit down
00:44:48anna because you're new here you might not know this but i usually don't spend that amount of time
00:44:55in the headquarters the reason i'm here is because i've seen some inconsistencies
00:45:02um what do you mean there's been some inconsistencies some money trails that just
00:45:11lead to nowhere and i suspect someone's in the offices behind it do you mean fraud or worse
00:45:20i couldn't quite pinpoint it from afar that's why i had to come here and see myself
00:45:23does anyone else know no the fewer people that know the better then let me help you
00:45:35this could be dangerous the person who's behind this won't like the fact that we're poking around
00:45:41i know but i want to help and if there is a problem we will fix it all right
00:45:48i'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 exactly i'll give you full access to the files i've flagged and
00:46:01see if you can spot any inconsistencies or see if anything's off i'll start tonight anna thank you
00:46:09from now on every department will undergo a thorough audit and i will personally review the results
00:46:20myself isn't this drastic and not like this could disrupt operations a little bit of disruption is
00:46:28better than corruption don't you think we're all on the same side lucas you don't have to treat it like
00:46:34a witch hunt if there's nothing wrong and there's nothing to hide is there get out my office
00:46:56it's getting too close what if he finds out then we make sure he does it you mean clean up everything
00:47:05exactly we erase all the trails adjust the numbers and tie up loose ends i don't know maybe we should
00:47:12come clean i could talk to him and what risk us all turning us in huh what do you think he's just
00:47:18gonna let it slide once he sees the whole picture maybe no we stick to the plan keep him distracted
00:47:26and i will handle the things what do you mean by handle just let me leave it to me okay
00:47:34i'll get to the bottom of this
00:47:47lucas lucas i know you're angry but i think you need to think this through this company used to
00:48:00stand for something good but now i find my own people are stealing money
00:48:05i 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 losing your head now will only make it harder for us to find out who's
00:48:27behind it you're right i need to keep my head
00:48:31but how do we catch them we don't even know their identities they've not made a single mistake
00:48:40they might be smart but we will be smarter what do you suggest we will give them something they can't resist
00:48:54we'll set a trap for them do you think they'll fall for it i mean they know i'm on this witch hunt right
00:49:00now they are after the money right they may be smart enough to cover their tracks
00:49:12and they might hide it well but they're still after the money your money you know what you're
00:49:19right i mean after all this they are just thieves just they want to follow the money
00:49:24yeah trust me they will fall for it and you will catch them red-handed with their dirty paws in the cookie jar
00:49:44okay
00:49:59lukas lukas lukas lukas can you hear me
00:50:05hello yes my boss just collapsed luminous are you his colleague yeah we are his employees
00:50:20i found him in the office how is he he's stable for now but we can't say for sure
00:50:27we found trace of poisonous substances in his liver
00:50:31are you saying lukas was poisoned how we're running further tests to learn more about that
00:50:38but i suggest you to inform the authorities lukas was poisoned you what did you do to him
00:50:48what are you talking about you was the last one person in his office yeah and you're very unusually
00:50:54close to him do you expect us to ignore that are you serious i found him
00:51:00how convenient if you think i've hurt lukas you know nothing about me
00:51:10what happened to my lucas i am sure that jessica told you everything you wanted to know
00:51:17jessica told me that you poisoned him i didn't that's what i think too
00:51:22you're don't have it in you you're far too weak for that so why are you here why talking to me
00:51:32i came to tell you that whoever did this won't get away with that lukas is mine nobody touches
00:51:42him except me who would ever do this to you i am so confused you really are naive so innocent i see why
00:51:55lucas wants you around what are you talking about you and lucas were in the middle of a witch hunt
00:52:02lucas wanted to find those who were allegedly stealing from him i think lucas might have come too close
00:52:11they poisoned him those thieves poisoned him certainly seems so
00:52:17just know this if they can aim at lucas what makes you think you aim next
00:52:28think about it
00:52:39he's stable for now but he's not showing any signs of waking up
00:52:45lucas is strong he'll pull through
00:52:54i will find out who did this to you i swear
00:53:00anna how's lucas
00:53:04he is fighting yeah he does that if there's anything i can do to help just say a word
00:53:12um i will let you know if anything comes up good keep me in the loop like it or not but lucas is an
00:53:22investment to me and my father and we take care of our investment don't call him that hey i'm not the
00:53:32enemy here we both want the same thing please just go i just can't right now please just leave
00:53:42you
00:54:01nathan what are you hiding all of these transactions to untraceable accounts
00:54:09nathan you're not as clever as you think
00:54:15you definitely had some major help
00:54:19anna
00:54:24what are you still doing here i'm going through company's records i'm going to finish what lucas
00:54:30started it's probably just an era that happened when i'm putting mistakes happen sometimes
00:54:37this looks deliberate jessica

00:56:30you've been signing off some of these transactions jessica
00:56:34what's going on
00:56:36it's not a procedure
00:56:38that don't tells me to sign off and i do because i assume everything is in order
00:56:47that don't tell me to sign off and i don't want to sign off and i don't want to sign off
00:57:00we'll move the rest of the money soon
00:57:02just stay quiet
00:57:04anna's already asking questions about you
00:57:06she's not as clueless as you think
00:57:17i'll protect you lucas no matter what it takes
00:57:40nason signed off on those transfers
00:57:43and 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
00:57:54how could he be doing this
00:57:57and who is he sending all this cash to
00:58:05i've spoken around the financial again
00:58:07what are we going to do
00:58:09we're not going to do anything she'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 i'll handle her too okay
00:58:19that that mean
00:58:21did you pause on lucas were you the one who did that
00:58:27stop asking me stupid questions i said i'll handle it and i did that's all you need to know
00:58:33oh god you heard him you heard lucas
00:58:41you sound just like anna right now so naive
00:58:45i did what i had to do to cover our asses okay now stop whining and get out of my office
00:58:52it's taking so long anna is getting closer every day and why are we meeting in this dark parking lot
00:59:03we have to avoid ice we're all under heat
00:59:06as for anna we've got it under control she's smart but not smart enough to connect the dots
00:59:13she's closer than you think you keep underestimating her and she can
00:59:21going us to rest i told you to handle it if she figures out i'm involved that is your problem
00:59:29remember you wanted to in on this you came to us
00:59:36we shouldn't fighting ourselves our enemy is anna we are underestimating her
00:59:44well she shouldn't have gotten that job damn there lucas
00:59:50what's done is done how do we get rid of her
00:59:55i told you to handle it if she figures out i'm involved that is your problem remember
01:00:02doffy you wanted to you too how deep does this rabbit hole go
01:00:18i am so close lucas just hold on
01:00:25lucas can you hear me
01:00:31i'll end this i promise
01:00:46anna what brings you here nothing much i just needed some help understanding these reports
01:00:53this this is nothing it's just routine transactions routine the amounts and frequency
01:01:09don't seem routine to me you authorize them look anna you wouldn't understand see lucas trusted me to
01:01:18handle these complete things this is why i get paid so much so lucas knew about all of this
01:01:26lucas knew about the offshore accounts let's just say well lucas doesn't know one hurt him
01:01:33or didn't in this case it was you you careful now you don't want to go around pointing fingers when
01:01:43you are the prime suspect i didn't poison lucas and you know that of course not but what matters is
01:01:52others don't when they look at you they see some opportunistic cold digger they see someone who tried
01:02:00to kill her boss after warming herself
01:02:11you
