Short filmTranscript
00:00Everything we had, our savings, our family's home.
00:08Help. Please. Here.
00:15One night, one million. No questions. You'll do what I say every second.
00:21I lost everything. A house, savings. No, John. I'm not going through with this.
00:27If you go through with this, you'll lose me for good.
00:30I'd like you to meet my fiance. To be alive and to love.
00:36What do you want?
00:39I want revenge.
00:42This is Olivia. She's a master chef. I thought she might bring a little spice to our house.
00:49Careful, you're playing a dangerous game. Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
00:54You know what? It's delicious, Mario.
00:58One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
01:01You dare touch me?
01:03John!
01:27Help. Help. Please.
01:32Here.
01:32Olivia, please hear me out.
01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe. Passed out on my couch, but safe.
01:56Wait. Who? Who is this? Where's Olivia?
02:01I'll send you the address. Be here soon, or don't come at all.
02:05Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.
02:16Everything we had.
02:17Our savings. Our savings. Our family's home.
02:23How could you risk it all in a single investment?
02:25I thought it was our shot, a chance to finally make something of myself.
02:30Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
02:34I'm willing to help for a price.
02:41Spend one night with me.
02:46And I'll give you one million dollars.
02:49Sorry.
02:55Did I hear you right?
02:57You want him to spend the night with you for money?
03:00It's just a business arrangement.
03:03One night, one million dollars.
03:05And what exactly do you expect from me?
03:09Just one night together.
03:11You get what you need, and I get what I want.
03:14You really think we would sell ourselves for this?
03:17Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight.
03:19I'll leave you two to think it over.
03:22You can't expect us to just wait here.
03:24We're leaving now.
03:25Oh my god, here.
03:27A hundred thousand.
03:29Just to stay here and think about it.
03:35Dad, I've given my life to this family.
03:51To this company.
03:53No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
03:56You don't lead people.
03:57You control them.
03:59And that's why people respect me.
04:01That's not respect.
04:02It's fear.
04:03Look around you.
04:05You're alone.
04:07No partner.
04:08No friends.
04:10If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?
04:27Good evening, Maria.
04:28Everything all right?
04:30More than all right.
04:31Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about someone.
04:41I'd like you to meet my fiancé.
04:46A fiancé?
04:48I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.
04:51Who is he?
04:52He is someone special.
04:55I thought it was time you met him.
04:56Why didn't you arrange a proper introduction?
04:59What's the sudden rush?
05:01Timing just felt right.
05:02Look, he'll be here soon.
05:03Hey, fiancé.
05:14When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
05:16I don't have time for you.
05:18Just watch and learn.
05:19John, do you really think this is the way to fix things?
05:29Selling yourself to that woman?
05:31I'm just trying to make up for the mess I made, Olivia.
05:34And this is just one night.
05:36And then we can start over.
05:38You don't get it, do you?
05:40One night isn't going to fix things.
05:43She's not giving you a second chance.
05:45She's taking you away from me.
05:48What choice do I have, Olivia?
05:50I lost everything.
05:53Our house.
05:55The savings.
05:55No, John.
05:56I'm not going through with this.
06:00If you go through with this,
06:03you'll lose me for good.
06:06We're out of time.
06:08She's here.
06:09Let her in.
06:10I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
06:23So John is your latest hero, huh?
06:26Perfect timing to charm Dad.
06:29Right before the board meeting.
06:30Clever move, Maria.
06:31What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?
06:35I find it amusing.
06:36Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe
06:38you're ready to run the company?
06:40What's going on here?
06:47Just talking about the future.
06:48Yeah.
06:49Exciting family plans.
06:50You're gonna love it.
06:51Maria?
07:03Maria?
07:07Well, you're definitely not Maria.
07:10Who are you?
07:10This is my house.
07:15Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?
07:17A woman brought us here.
07:19Isn't this her place?
07:20Yeah.
07:21That sounds like Maria.
07:23Might be her place, yes.
07:25But it's my house now.
07:26She, uh, she made us this crazy offer.
07:30We're just waiting for her to come back.
07:32But who is she?
07:32What kind of person does this?
07:34Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.
07:37Once she got her eye on something.
07:40Or someone.
07:40She won't let anything stand in her way.
07:45So this is just a game to her.
07:47It's not a game.
07:49It's how she keeps control.
07:51Once you're in, you're playing by her rules.
07:53So if you're smart, you'll walk away before she decides you belong to her.
08:12So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
08:14Relax.
08:16I've got it all under control.
08:22Time's up.
08:23What's your answer?
08:25Stay away from us.
08:27We're not interested in whatever you're offering.
08:29Oh my god.
08:30Look at you, acting like you've got a say in this.
08:34You're out of your league here.
08:36This isn't some street hustle.
08:38Money can't buy everything, you know?
08:40John's staying here with me.
08:42Careful.
08:43You don't have the power to touch me.
08:45In my world, you're nothing.
08:48Is it really one million dollars?
08:54One night?
08:54One million.
08:56No questions.
08:58You'll do what I say every second.
09:05Undress.
09:05I'll do this.
09:07Now.
09:12Put this on.
09:12You really think this proves something?
09:29Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
09:32It proves I get what I want.
09:36He's not your toy.
09:38And this is desperation.
09:40Not power.
09:41Desperation?
09:43That's the language of losers.
09:48Gone.
09:50Let's finish this show.
09:59Perfect.
10:00Now follow me.
10:08Here.
10:08Do you remember everything I told you?
10:12Yes.
10:13Okay, good.
10:14We need to convince my family that we've been in love for months and are ready to marry.
10:20Okay, only then you'll be off the hook.
10:23I think I can handle it.
10:24No, you don't need to think.
10:26You need to know.
10:27The answers need to come naturally.
10:29Like we've been in love for months.
10:32Okay?
10:32And one more thing.
10:38If you slip up and they see through you, it's game over.
10:46You know what that means?
10:49That means you, Olivia, anything you care about is gone.
10:57There won't be a second chance.
11:00Understand?
11:03Good.
11:08So, Gianni, are you in finance?
11:12Mostly investments look for opportunities.
11:16I see.
11:17The Western family, quite the opportunity, wouldn't you say?
11:21Not everything's business, Duke.
11:24Some things are worth more than money.
11:27Well, it's rare to find somebody who understands that not everything has a price.
11:33Thank you, Grace, and dinner.
11:35It's been incredible.
11:36Oh, don't be too impressed.
11:39It's ordered in.
11:40Nothing special tonight.
11:43So, tell us.
11:44When's the big day?
11:46Soon.
11:47We didn't see the need to wear.
11:49It's a commitment.
11:50Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
11:52Just remember, even love comes with a price in this family.
12:00I'm going to grab some fresh air.
12:06And no, I'm not quitting.
12:07Maybe I should get going too.
12:11It's getting late.
12:12Oh, no, no, no, no, John's staying.
12:15Isn't that right?
12:16Yes.
12:16Please, dear, stay.
12:17You're practically family now.
12:21How about a real drink, John?
12:23Let's see if you can keep up.
12:24Hmm?
12:25Darling, wait.
12:25I'm coming with you.
12:26No.
12:29What is this?
12:29Why am I still here?
12:31Because they're not convinced yet.
12:33Especially Duke.
12:35Tonight, we make sure they believe every word of it.
12:39And that means...
12:42Showing them just how much we're in love.
12:47This is your family, Marie.
12:48You want them to think we're having some...
12:49John!
12:50Your best is in the car.
12:53Olivia, is it?
12:54It seems she's, like, really eager to reach you.
13:01Duke, just that.
13:02Give me the phone.
13:03Oh, come on, John.
13:04Let's not keep her waiting.
13:06John.
13:07John, please.
13:08Don't let her do this to you.
13:09Don't trust her.
13:11Are you with Laura right now?
13:15Yes.
13:16Yes, I am.
13:17Well, the two of you are still holding on to the past.
13:20John and I, we've moved on.
13:25Maybe it's time you both did the same.
13:27This isn't over.
13:28You won't just push me out of his life.
13:31I know exactly what you're doing.
13:32I think it is over.
13:34Look, John and I, we've chosen each other.
13:38Olivia, I've made my choice.
13:41Maria and I, we're getting married.
13:56Sometimes, losing everything is how we finally see what's left to hold on to.
14:03What exactly do I have left?
14:06Homeless, alone, broke.
14:10I don't even have a place to stay tonight.
14:12Tonight, you stay here.
14:14Get some rest.
14:15And tomorrow, start fresh.
14:18Start fresh.
14:20Do what?
14:20I have nothing left.
14:23Forget them.
14:25Think about yourself, Olivia.
14:27What do you want?
14:30I want revenge.
14:34Then start simple.
14:36Shower and clean up.
14:38Look like you're ready for a fight.
14:42Why are you helping me?
14:43Because I know exactly what it feels like.
14:45To lose everything to Maria.
14:53About the call.
14:55Seems like she's not over you, buddy.
14:57Well, Duke, everyone has a past.
15:01But when you know what you want, it's easier to leave them behind.
15:05Right?
15:06Well, speaking of the past, wasn't Laurie your shrink.
15:09Father might find it interesting that his future CEO still needs professional support.
15:13Support, support, Maria.
15:17Are you still seeing your therapist?
15:19I thought you were ready to lead, not lean.
15:23Maria, if you're going to lead, understanding your emotions, your condition is crucial.
15:30Without it, real connection is impossible.
15:32I don't need connection.
15:34I need control.
15:38Leadership isn't just about control.
15:40It's about empathy, trust, knowing when to rely on others.
15:46Relying on others makes you weak.
15:47And I won't be weak.
15:52Don't worry, father.
15:54I'm not weak.
15:56I'm in control.
15:58Always.
15:59All right, it's been a long night.
16:07I'm going to show John to my room.
16:10Thank you for both having me.
16:11It's been a pleasure.
16:13John, you expect great things.
16:17Welcome to the family, John.
16:18Rest well.
16:21Come on.
16:21Flammo keeps watching.
16:31You'll stay here tonight.
16:33I want you close, okay?
16:51He's listening.
16:56You need to keep this up, okay?
17:10Are you okay?
17:13Oh, yeah.
17:15Yeah, John.
17:16Wow, John!
17:21Oh, my God.
17:28Oh, my God.
17:29Right there.
17:29Yes, John!
17:31Have you never had sex before?
17:34Oh, my God.
17:36Yeah, John, that's so good.
17:38Oh, yeah.
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah, that's good.
17:42Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
17:44Oh, my God.
17:45Oh, my God.
17:46Yes.
17:47Oh, oh, oh.
17:49Oh, oh.
17:51Oh, oh, oh.
18:04Can I ask you something?
18:06Depends.
18:07Will it bore me?
18:09You're stunning, rich, confident.
18:13You could owe anyone you wanted.
18:16Why'd you pay me to act like your lover?
18:21Because feelings, they come with expectations.
18:26If someone thinks you care, they expect more.
18:30But if you own someone, like I own you,
18:35it's easy.
18:35I say goodbye and it's done.
18:40Are you catching feelings for me?
18:45I hope not, John.
18:47That'd be disappointing.
18:48Is that a little disappointing.
18:55It's a little habit to me.
18:59Make yourself comfortable, John.
19:00But look, I'm a little bit יותר.
19:02Oh, my God.
19:03Oh, my God.
19:04Oh, my God.
19:05Oh, my God.
19:06Oh, my God.
19:07Oh, my God.
19:08Oh, my God.
19:09Oh, my God.
19:10Oh, my God.
19:12Oh, my God.
19:14Oh, my God.
19:16Oh, my God.
19:16Oh, my God.
19:17Oh, my God.
19:18But not too comfortable, John.
19:26We're not done yet.
19:28Tomorrow's the board meeting.
19:30Father's announcing his retirement.
19:32And if all goes well, I'll be the one he names to lead.
19:36You said this was for just one night.
19:39I have you until sunset tomorrow.
19:42Ahem.
19:48Ahem.
20:18Hey, sis.
20:43Just thought you'd like to know.
20:45Father's not feeling that good today.
20:47It might have been that dinner last night.
20:50Meeting is postponed.
21:17You really know how to spoil a good moment.
21:26Oh, this isn't a game, Duke.
21:27I've seen what you've done.
21:29Reckless spending, scandals.
21:31You're dragging this company down.
21:33Now, you have a choice.
21:36You either step down quietly, or I bring these to Edward.
21:41We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess.
21:44What?
21:45Crown you his successor?
21:47He'd rather give this place to the janitor than to trust either of us.
21:50The janitor, yeah.
21:51Well, at least I'm trying to save what's left of this family.
21:54You don't care about this company, Duke.
21:57All you care about is the title, the image.
22:00Nothing real.
22:01Spare me the lecture, Maria.
22:03You don't want to save anything.
22:05You just want control.
22:06You know what?
22:07If you want to drag yourself down, go ahead.
22:13But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.
22:15I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.
22:24I heard you postpone the meeting.
22:26Is everything all right?
22:27Nothing serious.
22:28Just a headache.
22:31Not feeling my best today.
22:32That's exactly why it's time to move forward.
22:35Let me take this off your shoulders.
22:37You know there's no one better fit to run the family business.
22:40Maybe.
22:42But let's have this chat another day.
22:45Father, look at me.
22:47Look at me.
22:49I'm ready.
22:50I'm finally ready.
22:51I'm getting married.
22:53I'm starting my own family.
22:55I know my responsibilities now.
22:57Can you at least leave Dad alone today?
23:00I told you, no meetings.
23:02Dad's feeling better now.
23:04He just needs a day of rest
23:05before he's ready to announce his decision.
23:08Right, Dad?
23:10I'm fine.
23:15Olivia?
23:16Olivia, you don't know me.
23:46But we gotta talk.
23:57Sign it.
24:06An NDA, what's this for?
24:08You want your money, don't you?
24:10Then sign it.
24:16Done.
24:18Am I free to go now?
24:20Free?
24:21Oh no, you're not free, John.
24:23We had a deal, remember?
24:25Our deal was for one night, Maria.
24:27One night.
24:29Yeah, it was one night.
24:32But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.
24:35Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple.
24:38You're not going anywhere, John.
24:40Not until you convince everyone that we are in love.
24:43And by the time we're done, even you might believe it.
24:48Believe it.
24:57Now I understand John's poor judgment.
25:00Only a fool will leave you behind.
25:04And who exactly are you?
25:05I believe you met my sister, Maria.
25:09I'm Duke.
25:10Then listen carefully.
25:12I'm gonna destroy John and her.
25:15So if you're here to get in my way...
25:16I wouldn't dream of it.
25:18As a matter of fact, I plan to enjoy every second.
25:21And why would you want to tear down your own sister?
25:24And how exactly are we going to do that?
25:27You see, Maria believes she owns everyone.
25:31Even her own family.
25:33But without that control, she's got nothing.
25:36All we gotta do is to pull the rug from under her.
25:40She'll slowly fall apart.
25:42So we just sit back and watch?
25:45Exactly.
25:46No both moves, no confrontations.
25:48Just time.
25:51Maria can be her worst enemy given the right push.
25:54And where do I fit into all of this?
25:58Let's just say that I could use her motivating, am I?
26:05Olivia, are you looking for a job?
26:11So, John.
26:13How did you and my daughter cross paths?
26:15That's Paris just two months ago.
26:18By this end.
26:20Foul like fate.
26:22Seems so sudden.
26:23What's with the big rush?
26:26Father, do you remember you told me something about love?
26:29Not needing explanations or definitions.
26:33You said love was like being alive.
26:37You know when you are, and you know when you're not.
26:44That's how I knew.
26:46I was alive.
26:48After all these years.
26:50To be alive.
26:52And to love.
26:53Hope we're not too late to join the celebrations.
27:02Well Duke, aren't you going to introduce us to your lovely guest?
27:07This is Olivia.
27:09She's a master chef.
27:11Thought she might bring a little spice to our house.
27:13Is that really necessary?
27:15Don't we have all the help we need?
27:16Oh nonsense.
27:18It's a splendid idea.
27:19You're very welcome here.
27:21Thank you, Mr. Weston.
27:23I'll be sure to make myself useful.
27:26And of course, to your view, Miss Maria.
27:33And you must be John?
27:36I'm Olivia.
27:38Ah, Grace.
27:40There you are, darling.
27:42Meet Olivia.
27:43Our new chef.
27:45She's going to be staying with us for a while.
27:47Ooh, isn't this cozy?
27:49One big happy family.
27:51To new beginnings then.
28:03Alright, drop the act.
28:05What are you doing here?
28:06Isn't it obvious?
28:09Making myself at home?
28:11That dress.
28:13That's Laura's.
28:15Oh, this?
28:17Yeah, she was kind enough to let me borrow it.
28:20Generous, isn't she?
28:22Generous.
28:24She bought that dress with my money.
28:26That dress doesn't belong to you.
28:29Just like this life doesn't.
28:32Take it off.
28:34Now.
28:35Rip it off me first.
28:43You're pathetic.
28:45All this power, all this wealth.
28:47And you still can't stand someone challenging you, Maria.
28:51Challenging me?
28:53Challenge me all you want.
28:54But when you fall again.
28:55But when you fall again.
28:57And you will fall.
28:59Don't expect me to help you up.
29:01Again.
29:03Help.
29:05Please.
29:06We'll see who loses Maria.
29:07Enjoy your borrowed life.
29:08Cause it's not gonna last.
29:09Oh.
29:10And next time?
29:11I won't be so polite.
29:12I won't be so polite.
29:13I won't be so polite.
29:14I won't be so polite.
29:15I won't be so polite.
29:16I won't be so polite.
29:21I won't be so polite.
29:22This time, I won't be so polite.
29:49Did you make these yourself?
29:51Yes, sir.
29:52Thought a little something homemade might brighten the morning.
29:56Well, mission accomplished.
29:58Please, sit, Olivia.
30:00You deserve a break.
30:03It's nice to feel appreciated around here.
30:05You know, this house isn't so easy.
30:08What is that?
30:09Is it the room?
30:10I can arrange something bigger, if you like.
30:12No, it's not the room or anything like that.
30:14It's just the way things are.
30:16You know, I didn't grow up with all this money and power.
30:20My family were just simple people.
30:23You think I was born into this life?
30:25No.
30:26I had to build it, piece by piece.
30:29That's why it hurt so much, saying my kids, they never had to fight for anything.
30:34The other day, Maria, she told me I stink of poverty.
30:43She can't even look at me without disgust.
30:45Olivia, this is my house.
30:47If anyone in this family doesn't like it, they're free to leave.
31:00I couldn't stop thinking about you.
31:01I didn't know where you were.
31:02I feel alright.
31:03Where was I?
31:06After you left me?
31:08Broke, homeless, alone.
31:12I stayed where I could.
31:15But don't worry.
31:16I didn't sell myself, if that's what you're wondering.
31:19Olivia, please.
31:20I know I hurt you, but it's not what you think.
31:23Just give me a chance to explain.
31:26You chose money over me, John.
31:28And that, I can't just forget.
31:32You know I love you, right?
31:34Please don't forget that.
31:37I'll be done with this game soon, and then we can leave together.
31:40I promise.
31:46John!
31:47John!
31:48Get your hands off her now.
31:57You're set to marry my daughter.
31:59Yet here you are, with another woman under my roof.
32:02It's not what it looks like.
32:04I knew Olivia from before.
32:07From before?
32:08From where exactly?
32:09Mr. Weston.
32:10I don't know who he is.
32:12He's just a stranger to me.
32:13Okay, I'm trying to understand what Maria sees in you.
32:19Or if she's seen clearly at all.
32:20Look, Dad.
32:21John and I are gonna handle this privately.
32:24Aren't we, John?
32:25Let's go.
32:26John, if you cross this line again,
32:29you won't get within a mile of this family.
32:31Are we clear?
32:32Do you have any idea what you've done?
32:45Everyone is suspicious now.
32:47We had a plan, and you managed to ruin it in one day.
32:51Maybe you shouldn't have relied on a plan so fragile
32:54that a single mistake could break it.
32:56You're here because you're supposed to follow orders.
32:59Not question me.
33:02Do your job.
33:04Prove your worth.
33:06And then you'll get your money.
33:08Money?
33:09Right.
33:10But let's be real, Maria.
33:11If your father doesn't choose you,
33:13you've got nothing to give me, do you?
33:18So what's the backup plan?
33:19Because from where I'm standing,
33:21you're not in as control as you think.
33:23Don't push me, John.
33:24You're here because when you signed that paper,
33:27you gave away any control you had.
33:29In fact, you handed me the keys to your life.
33:34If you fail me,
33:36I'll make sure that you lose everything.
33:40Even the things you didn't know you had left.
33:43So go ahead.
33:45Test me if you want.
33:47But if I were you,
33:49I'd start thinking about the price of obedience.
33:54You know, Olivia,
33:59you're playing your part beautifully.
34:02But remember, you're here to do a job,
34:04not to get cozy with my father.
34:09I'm here to do exactly what I was brought here to do, Duke.
34:14But I think I'm going to do it my way, not yours.
34:17Careful, Olivia.
34:19Don't think you're running the show here.
34:22This is my house.
34:24And remember, I brought you here.
34:26Maybe so.
34:27But while I'm here, this is my room.
34:30And you're not welcome in it.
34:32Yeah?
34:33If I decide to stay...
34:36Then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you.
34:38You see, he knows something about dignity.
34:43Clearly something you've never learned.
34:45You think his protection will keep you safe here?
34:48Mr. Weston let me in here.
34:50And you see, he's the one calling the shots.
34:53Not you.
34:55Olivia, you bring something to this house I thought I'd lost.
35:12Really, Mr. Weston?
35:15I think we're well past Mr. Weston now, don't you?
35:21All right, Edward.
35:24I find myself looking forward to each day knowing I'll see you.
35:32Edward, I didn't expect.
35:34I mean, like, I never thought that...
35:36Sometimes words just get in the way.
35:49How could you?
35:54After all these years?
35:57I can't do this anymore.
36:02I have my lawyer sign the papers.
36:06Mom, don't do this.
36:22Don't let her push you out.
36:24If anyone should be leaving, it's her.
36:27Oh, my baby girl.
36:30This is not about her.
36:32This is about your father.
36:34He's searching for something else.
36:36And I'm tired of being the one waiting.
36:39Stay then.
36:40Let him see what he's giving up.
36:42She's going to be the one holding us together.
36:45I tried.
36:46I tried.
36:47I tried for so many years.
36:49But no matter how much love I gave, it was never enough to feel the emptiness in him.
36:55Please, take care of each other.
37:07And don't ever think you are not enough.
37:10No matter how much you're doing, it must be...
37:12You're right.
37:13You're right.
37:14No matter how much you're going to meet, I mean, like your girlfriend is in a United States,
37:16but it's almost important to have no心.
37:17But I'm not even smart with you.
37:18No matter how much you're working with.
37:19I'm not even smart with you.
37:20I'm not even smart with you.
37:21I've never been smart with you.
37:22We're always reading.
37:23I'm sorry.
37:24Are you going to say goodbye to her?
37:31Grace made her choice.
37:32There's nothing more to say.
37:35So, how are things going to be now?
37:38Between you, I mean.
37:40This isn't the time for that discussion.
37:43Is that your way of saying you regret this?
37:46Are you blaming me?
37:47No.
37:48It was bound to happen.
37:50Grace was always looking for an excuse to leave.
37:52Oh, so I'm just an excuse.
37:54That's it.
37:59Fairy tale is over.
38:01Cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen.
38:10I'm going to ask you this once.
38:12What did you do to my mother?
38:16Nothing.
38:18Maybe she just finally had enough.
38:21Watching her own children turn out to be such disappointment.
38:24Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.
38:26In this house, you're going to get eaten up alive and you'll be left with nothing.
38:32Nothing?
38:33Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
38:37And you know what?
38:39It's delicious, Maria.
38:40Okay.
38:41What, you think throwing yourself at him gives you power?
38:45It only proves what everyone already sees.
38:48A woman so desperate, she'll hang on to any man with a pulse and a dollar.
38:53At least I didn't have to write a check just to make me feel wanted.
38:56You see, that's the difference between us, Maria.
39:01Yeah, we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
39:03Because once my father sees who you really are, he'll throw you out with the rest of the trash.
39:10Stay away from my father.
39:12And stay the hell out of my life.
39:17Got it?
39:17Stay away from my father.
39:47John, have you lost your mind?
39:56What are you doing here?
39:57Just give me a minute, please.
40:03What are you really doing here?
40:05What's the plan?
40:06I'm here to keep my promise, John.
40:09To make sure you regret every moment.
40:13Olivia.
40:13Olivia.
40:17Olivia, this doesn't have to be about revenge.
40:23I'm here for the money.
40:24For us.
40:26Help me and we can leave this together.
40:30You left me, John.
40:32You broke me.
40:34You broke us.
40:36And now you're all wrapped up in Maria's lies.
40:39I've made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you.
40:43Not for one second.
40:48You think you can just pick up the pieces?
40:50It's not that simple, John.
40:53Not all wounds can just heal.
40:56Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece of it, but I can still help you.
41:01Maria?
41:15Maria?
41:16Do I really need to remind you who wins you?
41:21If you want your money, you're going to stay in your role.
41:21Maria?
41:22Maria?
41:22Do I really need to remind you who wins you?
41:25If you want your money, you're going to stay in your role.
41:30And if you think you're coming into my bed again, you're going to stay away from this.
41:37You really think you can still buy everything?
41:41It's actually amusing how little it costs to make him forget you.
41:45Maria, that's not...
41:46Look.
41:47Either you're going to take the life I'm giving you, or you're going to throw it away.
41:53For her.
41:58Choose wisely.
42:00Everything's falling apart.
42:14If I don't find a way to stay in this game, Maria will toss me out without a cent.
42:19Why do you still care about Maria's money?
42:21It's not even hers, it's her father's.
42:24Look, maybe we should play by his rules, not hers.
42:28Why would he give me a million dollars?
42:30Edward doesn't care about me, not one bit.
42:33No, he doesn't care about you, but does have other interests.
42:40Don't even think about it, Olivia.
42:42Edward's just another rich man who gets bored easily.
42:46He'll use you up and throw you out like nothing.
42:49Isn't that why we're here?
42:51For the money?
42:53Let me handle this.
42:55Don't play games with these people.
42:59We'll figure it out.
43:01Tomorrow.
43:03We'll figure it out.
43:04We'll figure it out.
43:05We'll figure it out.
43:06There we go.
43:07Edward?
43:08Maria.
43:09Do you know what alexithymia is?
43:15Edward?
43:31Maria, do you know what alexithymia is?
43:35It's when someone can truly feel or express their emotions like others do.
43:40For you it means you may never know what love really is.
43:45And what exactly is love?
43:48Love is a connection beyond reason.
43:53It's that force that draws you in even when you try to resist.
43:58It makes you care beyond reason.
44:02Then it sounds unnecessary. I don't need it.
44:06You're a remarkable woman, Maria.
44:08It's a shame.
44:10Someone like you might never know what it's like to...
44:13Love.
44:15Or be loved.
44:21Maria?
44:22Wait, tell me, John.
44:26What is love?
44:30I... I don't know. It's not something you say. It's something you feel.
44:35Did you feel it?
44:47Did you feel love?
44:50Is this part of the game or is this...?
44:51What did it feel like with Olivia?
44:54When you touched her?
44:56When you kissed her?
44:58It's like everything fades.
45:00It's just her.
45:02The way she laughs.
45:04The way she smells.
45:05Tie this over your eyes.
45:17Now touch me.
45:19Touch me as if I'm her.
45:20Miss if I'm her.
45:34That's enough. I don't have time for fantasies.
45:37Come on, get up.
45:38We have work to do.
45:48Good morning, John.
45:50Decided to join us, I see.
45:51Look, Father, I was saying. Now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family competition. It's tearing us all apart.
46:06So you're finally giving up?
46:08Well, if it means peace, then yes.
46:13Give Duke the title. If you think he's earned it.
46:17It's not likely to surrender, Maria.
46:20What's behind the change of heart?
46:22Letting go doesn't mean that I've lost.
46:24It just means that I'm picking my battles. That's all.
46:28You know what, Maria?
46:30Enjoy your last days here.
46:32Because once I'm in charge, this whole empire is going to look a lot different.
46:37Is that a threat, Duke?
46:39One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
46:46So I overheard the conversation. That means we won, right?
46:58Oh, Olivia!
47:01She won again!
47:03But you're the CEO. She's out.
47:05Isn't that what you really wanted?
47:07Do you think that this is what I wanted?
47:09Business reports, boardroom meetings.
47:12This was always her dream, not mine.
47:14Then what do you really want?
47:17To be seen.
47:19To have my father look at me just once.
47:22And tell me that he's proud.
47:24That's gone now. She took it from me.
47:28Oh, Duke. Something the matter?
47:31You don't look like a man who just got everything he wanted.
47:34You never wanted me to have this.
47:36I just wanted to win.
47:38Yeah, you know, if you were looking for dad's approval,
47:39you were always going to be disappointed.
47:42Because you know there was always one favorite.
47:44And guess what?
47:46It wasn't you.
47:54Hey, you dare touch me?
47:57Do you really get your kicks tearing down people?
47:59Even your own family?
48:01Oh, please. Duke's life's been falling apart for years.
48:04My help's hardly needed.
48:05You tear people down just to make yourself feel powerful.
48:08But guess what?
48:09It's all slipping through your fingers now, isn't it, Maria?
48:12You're stepping out of line. Back.
48:14Remember where you are and who you're dealing with.
48:18Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with.
48:20And I pity you.
48:22If you're all alone, you're too proud to even see it.
48:27Maria, Edward knows. Duke's telling him everything.
48:31Right now!
48:33I don't know who I'm.
48:35Dad, please just listen to me.
48:37I don't have time for this Duke.
48:39Save the drama. I have company to run.
48:41No, you're going to hear me now.
48:43I know that Maria is the one who can handle the business.
48:46I've always known.
48:48All I ever wanted was for you to see me as something more.
48:51To trust me.
48:53Trust you?
48:54anything but rely on this family's name.
48:56You've wasted every chance you've had.
49:00And Maria, you think she's so perfect?
49:03She bought John.
49:05She paid him to act like her fiance.
49:07It's all an act.
49:09And Olivia?
49:11Tell me, Duke, who paid her to play her part in this?
49:24Did you two really think I wouldn't notice?
49:29You think I'm blind?
49:30You never gave me a chance, Dad.
49:33You always dismissed me like I was nothing.
49:35Maybe if you had just had a little faith, just a little,
49:40you'd see maybe we're not playing games.
49:42Faith, this little performance was meant
49:45to prove something to me.
49:47You never wanted to see what we're capable of.
49:50Maria might be desperate, and I've made mistakes,
49:53but we're not completely useless.
49:56We're just trying to earn our place, Father.
50:00You know what?
50:02If Kat takes more than you're willing to see,
50:06then maybe that's your own fault.
50:07Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:10Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:18Maria's not going to pay me.
50:20I should have seen this coming.
50:22So what now, Olivia?
50:24What can we do?
50:25There's no we, John.
50:27You know that, right?
50:29What are you on about?
50:30Just yesterday, you and I?
50:31Yesterday was a mistake.
50:34I have a plan, and you're not involved in it.
50:38It's this plan, Olivia.
50:41Why don't we let everyone hear it?
50:44Neither of you deserve a thing.
50:46Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
50:49Edward, should we make things clear for everyone?
51:00I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes, I've decided not to retire.
51:12You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.
51:18No.
51:19I wanted something real.
51:22But with you two, there's always demands, expectations, never love.
51:29Olivia, was this your plan all along?
51:32I'm sorry.
51:37I was lost.
51:41Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
51:43I wasn't myself.
51:44Forgive me.
51:45I've been through so much, it would affect anyone.
51:53But before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
51:58I didn't come here by accident.
52:00Okay, what do you mean, Olivia?
52:04Well, I came here with a plan.
52:09I came here to hurt Maria.
52:11You see, she paid my boyfriend one million dollars to pretend to be her fiancé.
52:24John was your boyfriend.
52:26Maria used my money for this.
52:30Yeah.
52:33But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.
52:40Because I met you.
52:41And I think I'm falling for you.
52:52She's using you.
52:53Look, she's nothing.
52:54You're making a mistake.
52:55No, Maria.
52:56The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wealth.
53:00Oh, my God.
53:01Olivia, she's the only one who's been honest with me.
53:05She sees me for who I really am.
53:09When you looked at him, all you saw was power, authority, someone to use for your gain.
53:18But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love.
53:23And ready to give it in return.
53:26Over these past few days, it's as if I've come back to life again.
53:30Feeling younger than I have in years.
53:33So, my decision is final.
53:36I'm staying on.
53:38I'm gonna lead the company with Olivia by my side.
53:42Olivia, is this who you really are?
53:44Is this how you take revenge?
53:46You never wanted to know the real me, John.
53:49And that's the real tragedy here.
53:52John, leave.
53:54You've taken enough from this house.
54:06Father, you're making a fool of yourself.
54:09You know what?
54:10You are after one thing.
54:11You're after his money.
54:12Money?
54:14That's all you two ever wanted from me.
54:17She's using you.
54:19She's manipulating you.
54:20And you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.
54:23I see very clearly now.
54:25This family, this house.
54:27You used it like a playground.
54:32This is my choice.
54:35This is my future.
54:38I'm done living by your expectations.
54:41So, okay, what?
54:43You're gonna throw us away?
