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.
00:11:37You'll be very, very impressed.
00:11:38You're assistant this year, Mr. Gonzales.
00:11:39Yes, she is. We pride ourselves on having the best employees in this company. And Anna, she's a model example of that.
00:11:43so i think you'll be very very impressed your assistant this year mr gonzalez yes she is we
00:12:00pride ourselves on having the best employees in this company and anna she's a model example of that
00:12:06thank you very much for your time get home safe okay bye bye you didn't have to say that back there
00:12:20i did it's true you know it they know it thanks i wish you could tell that to high school me

00:13:35look at you little miss assistant who knew crawling on the floor could get your promotion the ceo might
00:13:42have bought your sobbing story but we know the truth you don't belong here i earned my spot here
00:13:49just like everyone else did you or did you just remind lucas of some pathetic sob story from high
00:13:55school oh poor bullet anna boohoo you think your life was miserable back then that was nothing oh honey we've
00:14:06got resources now and you've got enemies in high places just imagine what we can do to your career
00:14:13why why are you doing this you've got everything you wanted why am i still a threat to you
00:14:20because you don't deserve to be here simple quit anna or we'll make sure your life here is just as bad as
00:14:29it was in high school oh no you better pick that up assistant
00:14:59anna everything okay yes um i'm still getting used to the office it's just so big
00:15:08if anyone ever gives you any problems here you can come to me understand yes sir
00:15:14hey dad i've been thinking about lucas again what about him well remember you told me to settle down
00:15:34and start looking for a partner i think lucas might be the one think about it he's intelligent
00:15:44ambitious and his company has been taken off you told that to me well he has exceeded even my
00:15:52expectations exactly he's the ideal partner for me he's everything you raved about and you basically
00:15:59shape him to be so well you're not wrong he has proven himself to be more than capable in every sense
00:16:07however does he share the same feelings does he see it that way well not yet but he will after you speak to him
00:16:19he needs to see how well we complement each other and i will be his obvious choice
00:16:26well the match does make sense lucas is a stubborn man
00:16:30he might not see things your way immediately might not be then we'll show him invite him for dinner daddy
00:16:41very well i'll speak with him tomorrow i must say that lucas isn't easily convinced so if he does agree
00:16:49it's because you convinced him not because i said leave the convincing to me dad

00:25:34there's nothing new just not like that i think she's winning him over lucas and panda they're getting
00:25:45closer what is that supposed to mean just another day i overheard him talking to her
00:25:55he was complaining about the dinner and something with your father's proposal he said that word for
00:26:02word and he didn't sound happy about it
00:26:09this cunt doesn't know who she's messing with she's interfering somewhere she shouldn't

00:29:43to consider your friend from what i hear she's got a little chat with lucas last night
00:29:50and taught him to keep his distance or else why are you telling me this because i think it will be
00:29:58hilarious to watch you crash and burn your way over your head
00:30:04lucas you've come a long way i'm proud of you i've been hearing some troubling reports
00:30:25troubling sir
00:30:26i hear you become distracted spending too much time with your assistant daphne is concerned and
00:30:37frankly i agree mr anerson anna is just my assistant and you know i'm not the type of guy to go messing
00:30:45around especially with work that's what i've been telling daphne be careful lucas you owe this family and
00:30:54you owe me
00:31:09i believe this information is outdated what kind of pressure you're running here
00:31:16i don't

00:33:56employees lounge genius the better question is what are you still doing here i don't have to tell you

00:40:40daphne told me everything
00:40:44how you've rejected her you embarrassed her
00:40:49you owe this you jeopardizing this family's partnership
00:40:55to be frank sir this was never about business
00:40:58daphne and i
00:41:01were not a good match and trying to force something that just isn't there is just going to end badly
00:41:07you don't get to dictate terms here
00:41:10lucas i made you without my support you'd still be digging for scraps and i appreciate everything
00:41:17you'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'll survive without my backing
00:41:27i'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
00:41:47enjoy a little field trip
00:41:50and i hope you're ready for what's coming
00:41:53you're braver than i thought anna following lucas like a little shadow
00:42:02i am here because he asked me to come
00:42:06lucas doesn't belong in your world and you certainly don't belong in his
00:42:11i am not trying to take him away from me
00:42:17take him away from me aren't you confident let me make something clear lucas is mine
00:42:27all i'm saying is i am not a threat the only threat here is me don't mess with me or i'll wreck you
00:42:37you and him you can say whatever you want about me daphne but if you try to hurt lucas i swear i'll
00:42:47make you regret it so you've got some fighting you after all i thought all of this was bullied
00:42:56out from you in a high school you don't scare me daphne i see right through all of the tough talk
00:43:02shut up you don't know what you're talking about oh but i do you're scared to be rejected for the
00:43:11first time in your life you 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
00:44:01especially when she started threatening you you did well i wasn't going to let her push me around
00:44:09especially when it ignored you i 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 you know what i think we deserve a break
00:44:28how about we stop for some lunch on the way back lunch yeah i think we deserve it after the morning we've
00:44:33had okay lunch sounds great you 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
00:45:04um 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
00:45:26does anyone else know no the fewer people that know the better
00:45:32then let me help you this could be dangerous the person who's behind this won't like the fact that
00:45:39we're poking around i know but i want to help and if there is a problem we will fix it
00:45:46all right i'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 see
00:46:01if 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
00:46:34like a witch hunt if there's nothing wrong and there's nothing to hide is there get at my office
00:46:50it'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
00:47:32i'll get to the bottom of this
00:47:52lucas i know you're angry but i think you need to think this through this company used to stand for
00:48:01something good but now i find my own people are stealing money
00:48:08i 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
00:48:35but 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
00:48:52resist we'll set a trap for them do you think they'll fall for it i mean they know i'm on this witch hunt
00:49:00right now 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 right
00:49:20i mean after all this they are just thieves just they want to follow the money yeah trust me they will
00:49:28fall for it and you will catch them red-handed with their dirty paws in the cookie jar
00:49:59lucas lucas lucas can you hear me hello yes my boss just collapsed luminous are you his colleague yeah we are
00:50:19his employees i found him in the office he's stable for now but we can't say for sure we found trace of
00:50:28poisonous substances in his liver are you saying lucas was poisoned how we're running further tests to
00:50:37learn more about that but i suggest you to inform the authorities lucas was poisoned
00:50:44you what did you do to him what are you talking about you was the last one person in his office
00:50:53yeah and you're very unusually close to him do you expect us to ignore that are you serious
00:50:59i found him how convenient if you think i've hurt lucas you know nothing about me
00:51:06what happened to my lucas i am sure that jessica told you everything you wanted to know jessica told
00:51:18me that you poisoned him i didn't that's what i think too you're don't have it in you you're far too weak
00:51:26for that so why are you here why talking to me i came to tell you that whoever did this won't get away
00:51:38with that lucas is mine nobody touches him except me who would ever do this to you i am so confused
00:51:49you really are naive so innocent i see why lucas wants you around what are you talking about
00:51:59you and lucas were in the middle of a witch hunt lucas wanted to find those who were allegedly stealing
00:52:06from him i think lucas might have come too close they poisoned him those thieves poisoned him certainly seems
00:52:17so just know this if they can aim at lucas what makes you think you aim next think about it
00:52:39he's stable for now but he's not showing any signs of waking up
00:52:43lucas 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
00:53:08if there's anything i can do to help just say a word um i will let you know if anything comes up good
00:53:18keep me in the loop like it or not but lucas is an investment to me and my father and we
00:53:26take care of our investment don't call him that hey i'm not the enemy here we both want the same thing
00:53:38please just go i just can't right now please just leave
00:53:51so
00:54:01nathan what are you hiding all of these transactions to untraceable accounts
00:54:11nathan you're not as clever as you think
00:54:13you 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 this looks
00:54:38deliberate jessica
00:54:42if you know something jessica now is the time to speak up
00:54:46i don't know anything why do you even ask me that
00:54:53i better let you work just take it easy you're scaring some of the folks
00:54:59you're scaring some of the folks who have something to hide
00:55:03better be afraid
00:55:09nathan's name keeps popping up but who else is involved
00:55:21i figured you'd still be here any leads
00:55:25not yet but i will find whoever did this
00:55:30yes of course you will let me know if i can help
00:55:43i'll find them lucas
00:55:46i promise
00:55:47nathan's name keeps appearing but it doesn't make any sense he can't be doing this alone
00:56:01hey anna how is this going
00:56:08what do you want jessica i don't have time for this
00:56:12don't push yourself so hard
00:56:13since when did you start caring
00:56:19what do you know about these transactions
00:56:23nathan handles that department you know maybe he can explain you better
00:56:30you've been signing off some of these transactions jessica
00:56:34what's going on
00:56:36standard procedure nathan tells me to sign off
00:56:40and i do because i assume everything is in order
00:57:00we'll move the rest of the money soon
00:57:01uh just stay quiet
00:57:03and i's already asking questions about you
00:57:06and she's not as clueless as you think
00:57:21uh we'll move the rest of the money soon
00:57:23i'll protect you lucas no matter what it takes
00:57:40nathan signed off on those transfers
00:57:44and he got jessica to sign on it too
00:57:46where did the money go to i 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
00:58:05and i spoke around the financial again what 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
00:58:33you 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
00:59:14you keep underestimating her and she came going us to rest i told you to handle it if she figures out
00:59:26i'm involved that is your problem remember you wanted to in on this you came to us we shouldn't
00:59:36fighting ourselves our enemy is anna we are underestimating her
00:59:44well she shouldn't have gotten that job damn there lucas what'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
01:00:01doff you wanting to you too how deep does this rabbit hole go
01:00:12i am so close lucas just hold on
01:00:25lucas can you hear me
01:00:27i'll end this i promise
01:00:41amna what brings you here nothing much i just needed some help understanding these reports
01:00:53this
01:00:54this
01:01:00this is nothing it's just routine transactions
01:01:05routine
01:01:07the amounts and frequency don't seem routine to me
01:01:10you authorize them look anna you wouldn't understand see lucas trusted me to handle these complete things
01:01:21this is why i get paid so much
01:01:23so lucas knew about all of this lucas knew about the offshore accounts
01:01:29let's just let's just say but lucas doesn't know one hurt him or didn't in this case
01:01:36it was you
01:01:38you careful 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 and you know that of course not but what matters is others don't
01:01:53when they look at you they see some opportunistic cold digger
01:01:58they see someone who tried to kill her boss after warming herself
