00:00Help. Please.
00:18Here.
00:30Olivia, please hear me out.
00:38Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe. Passed down on my couch, but safe.
00:44Wait, who, who is this? Where's Olivia?
00:49I'll send you the address. Be here soon, or don't come at all.
01:00Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.
01:03Everything we had.
01:05Our savings. Our family's home.
01:10How could you risk it all in a single investment?
01:12I thought it was our shot.
01:15A chance to finally make something of myself.
01:17Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.
01:23I'm willing to help. For a price.
01:28Spend one night with me.
01:33And I'll give you one million dollars.
01:40Sorry.
01:42Did I hear you right?
01:44You want him to spend the night with you for money?
01:47It's just a business arrangement.
01:49One night, one million dollars.
01:53And what exactly do you expect from me?
01:56Just one night together.
01:58You get what you need, and I get what I want.
02:01You really think we would sell ourselves for, for this?
02:04Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight.
02:06I'll leave you two to think it over.
02:09You can't expect us to just wait here.
02:11We're leaving now.
02:12Oh my God, here.
02:13A hundred thousand.
02:15Just to stay here and think about it.
02:20Dad, I've given my life to this family.
02:37To this company.
02:38No one's more prepared to lead it than me.
02:41You don't lead people.
02:43You control them.
02:44And that's why people respect me.
02:46That's not respect.
02:48It's fear.
02:49Look around you.
02:51You're alone.
02:52No partner.
02:53No friends.
02:55If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?
02:59Good evening, Maria.
03:13Everything all right?
03:15More than all right.
03:17Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about someone.
03:23I'd like you to meet my fiancee.
03:31A fiancee?
03:33I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.
03:36Who is he?
03:37He's someone special.
03:39I thought it was time you met him.
03:41Why didn't you arrange a proper introduction?
03:43What's the sudden rush?
03:45Timing just felt right.
03:47Look, he'll be here soon.
03:49Hey, fiancee.
03:59When did you start planning this little fairy tale?
04:01I don't have time for you.
04:03Just watch and learn.
04:09John, do you really think this is the way to fix things?
04:13Selling yourself to that woman?
04:15I'm just trying to make up for the mess I made, Olivia.
04:18And this is just one night.
04:20And then we can start over.
04:22You don't get it, do you?
04:24One night isn't going to fix things.
04:26She's not giving you a second chance.
04:29She's taking you away from me.
04:32What choice do I have, Olivia?
04:34I lost everything.
04:36Our house.
04:38The savings.
04:40No, John.
04:41I'm not going through with this.
04:42If you go through with this,
04:45you'll lose me for good.
04:48We're out of time.
04:50She's here.
04:51Let her in.
04:52I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
04:56I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.
05:08So John is your latest hero, huh?
05:10Perfect timing to charm Dad.
05:12Right before the board meeting.
05:14Clever move, Maria.
05:16What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?
05:18I find it amusing.
05:20Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe you're ready to run the company?
05:28What's going on here?
05:31Just talking about the future.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Exciting family plans.
05:34You're gonna love it.
05:36Maria?
05:50Well, you're definitely not Maria.
05:52Who are you?
05:54This is my house.
05:56Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?
06:00A woman brought us here.
06:02Isn't this her place?
06:03Yeah.
06:04That sounds like Maria.
06:06Might be her place, yes.
06:08But it's my house now.
06:10She, uh...
06:11She made us this crazy offer.
06:13We're just waiting for her to come back.
06:15But who is she?
06:16What kind of person does this?
06:17Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.
06:20Once she got her eye on something.
06:22Or someone.
06:26She won't let anything stand in her way.
06:28So this is just a game to her?
06:30It's not a game.
06:31It's how she keeps control.
06:33Once you're in, you're playing by her rules.
06:38So if you're smart, you walk away before she decides you belong to her.
06:44So, what game are we playing tonight, darling?
06:57Relax.
06:58I've got it all under control.
07:04Time's up.
07:05What's your answer?
07:06Stay away from us.
07:08We're not interested in whatever you're offering.
07:11Oh my God.
07:12Look at you.
07:13Acting like you've got a say in this.
07:16You're out of your league here.
07:18This isn't some street hustle.
07:20Money can't bite everything, you know?
07:22John's staying here with me.
07:24Careful.
07:25You don't have the power to touch me.
07:27In my world, you're nothing.
07:30Is it really one million dollars?
07:36One night.
07:38One million.
07:39No questions.
07:40You'll do what I say every second.
07:43Undress.
07:44Now.
07:45Put this on.
07:46You really think this proves something?
07:48Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
07:49It proves I get what I want.
07:50You really think this proves something?
08:07Throwing your money around so that people will obey you?
08:13It proves I get what I want.
08:16He's not your toy.
08:19And this is desperation.
08:21Not power.
08:23Desperation?
08:24That's the language of losers.
08:30Gone.
08:31Let's finish this show.
08:41Perfect.
08:42Now follow me.
08:46Here.
08:51Do you remember everything I told you?
08:54Yes.
08:55Okay, good.
08:56We need to convince my family that we've been in love for months and are ready to marry.
09:02Okay, only then you'll be off the hook.
09:05I think I can handle it.
09:06No, you don't need to think.
09:07You need to know.
09:08The answers need to come naturally.
09:10Like we've been in love for months.
09:13Okay?
09:18And one more thing.
09:19If you slip up and they see through you, it's game over.
09:24You know what that means?
09:25That means you, Olivia, anything you care about is gone.
09:40There won't be a second chance.
09:42Understand?
09:43Good.
09:44Good.
09:49So, Johnny, are you in finance?
09:53Mostly investments.
09:55Look for opportunities.
09:56I see.
09:57The Western family, quite the opportunity.
10:01Wouldn't you say?
10:03Not everything's business, Duke.
10:06Some things are worth more than money.
10:08Well, it's rare to find somebody who understands that not everything has a price.
10:15Thank you, Grace, and dinner.
10:17It's been incredible.
10:18Oh, don't be too impressed.
10:20It's sorted in.
10:21Nothing special tonight.
10:24So, tell us.
10:26When's the big day?
10:27Soon.
10:29We didn't see the need to wear.
10:31It's a commitment.
10:32Hope you're ready for everything that comes with it, John.
10:38Just remember, even love comes with a price in this family.
10:45Gonna grab some fresh air.
10:47And no, I'm not quitting.
10:50Maybe I should get going too.
10:52It's getting late and...
10:54Oh, no, no, no, no.
10:55John's staying.
10:56Isn't that right?
10:57Yes.
10:58Please, dear, stay.
10:59You're practically family now.
11:01No.
11:03How about a real drink, John?
11:04Let's even keep up.
11:06Darling, wait.
11:07I'm coming with you.
11:10What is this?
11:11Why am I still here?
11:12Because I'm not convinced yet.
11:13Especially Duke.
11:16Tonight, we make sure they believe every word of it.
11:20And that means...
11:23Showing them just how much we're in love.
11:28This is your family, Marie.
11:29You want them to think we're having some...
11:30John!
11:32Your best is in the car.
11:34Olivia, is it?
11:36Seems she's, like, really eager to reach you.
11:38Just that.
11:39Give me the phone.
11:40Oh, come on, John.
11:41Let's not keep her waiting.
11:42John.
11:43John, please.
11:44Don't let her do this to you.
11:45Don't trust her.
11:46Are you with Laura right now?
11:47Yes.
11:48Yes, I am.
11:49Well, the two of you are still holding on to the past.
11:51John and I, we've moved on.
11:52Maybe it's time you both did the same.
11:53This isn't over.
11:54You won't just push me out of his life.
11:57I know exactly what you're doing.
11:58I think it is over.
11:59John and I, we've chosen each other.
12:00Olivia, I've made my choice.
12:02Marie and I, we're getting married.
12:04I'm getting married.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Yeah.
12:07John, please.
12:09You, we're good.
12:10I'm getting married.
12:11Yeah.
12:12Oh, come on.
12:13I'm getting married.
12:14Yeah, I'm getting married.
12:15I'm getting married.
12:16You know, I'm getting married.
12:17Maybe it's time you both did the same.
12:18This isn't over.
12:19You won't just push me out of his life.
12:20I know exactly what you're doing.
12:21I know exactly what you're doing.
12:22I think it is over.
12:23But John and I, we've chosen each other.
12:26Olivia, I've made my choice.
12:28Sometimes
12:39I think everything is how we finally see what's left to hold on to
12:43And what exactly do I have left
12:45Homeless, alone, broke
12:49I don't even have a place to stay tonight
12:52Tonight you stay here, get some rest
12:55And tomorrow, start fresh
12:58Start fresh
12:59Do what? I have nothing left
13:03Forget that
13:04Think about yourself, Olivia
13:06What do you want?
13:10I want revenge
13:12Then start simple
13:15Shower and clean up
13:17Look like you're ready for a fight
13:20Why are you helping me?
13:23Because I know exactly what it feels like
13:25To do everything to Maria
13:28I thought the call
13:33Seems like she's not over you, buddy
13:37Oh, Duke
13:38Everyone has a past
13:40But when you know what you want
13:42It's easier to leave them behind
13:44Right?
13:46Well, speaking of the past
13:47Was on Laurie or Shrink
13:48Father might find it interesting
13:50That his future CEO
13:51Still needs professional support
13:53Support?
13:55Maria?
13:56Are you still seeing your therapist?
13:58I thought you were ready to lead
14:00Not lean
14:01Maria, if you're going to lead
14:05Understanding your emotions
14:07Your condition
14:08Is crucial
14:09Without it, real connection is impossible
14:12I don't need connection
14:14I need control
14:17Leadership isn't just about control
14:19It's about empathy
14:21Trust
14:22Knowing when to rely on others
14:24Relying on others makes you weak
14:27And I won't be weak
14:30Don't worry, father
14:33I'm not weak
14:35I'm in control
14:36Always
14:38All right
14:45It's been a long night
14:46I'm going to show John to my room
14:48Thank you for both having me
14:51It's been a pleasure
14:52John
14:53You can expect great things
14:55Welcome to the family, John
14:57Rest well
14:59Come on
15:06So your lord keeps watching
15:08You'll stay here tonight
15:12I want you close, okay?
15:33He's listening
15:34We need to keep this up
15:36Okay?
15:38Are you okay?
15:52Oh, yeah
15:53Yeah, John
15:55Wow
15:56John!
15:57Oh, my God
16:07Oh, my God
16:08Right there
16:08Yes, John!
16:10Have you never had sex before?
16:13Oh, my God
16:14Yeah, John
16:16That's so good
16:17Oh, yeah
16:18Oh, yeah
16:19Yeah
16:19Yeah
16:20Yeah, that's good
16:20Oh, my God
16:21Oh, my God
16:22Oh, my God
16:23Oh, my God
16:24Oh, my God
16:24Yes
16:25Can I ask you something?
16:44Depends
16:45Will it bore me?
16:47You're stunning
16:48Rich
16:49Confident
16:50You could owe anyone you wanted
16:53Why would you pay me to act like your lover?
16:59Because feelings
17:00They come with expectations
17:03If someone thinks you care
17:05They expect more
17:07But if you own someone
17:09Like I own you
17:11It's easy
17:13I say goodbye
17:15And it's done
17:16Are you catching feelings for me?
17:23I hope not, John
17:24That'd be disappointing
17:26Make yourself comfortable, John
17:36But not too comfortable, John
18:03We're not done yet
18:04Tomorrow's the board meeting
18:06Father's announcing his retirement
18:09And if all goes well
18:10I'll be the one he names to lead
18:12You said this was for just one night
18:15I have you until sunset tomorrow
18:18Um
18:20Pretty cold
18:22At least one day
18:22After Optimization
18:23Without a Elephant
18:26First
18:28He says
18:29Inheritory
18:297
18:298

18:30Enterprise

18:331

18:463
18:473
18:474
18:483
18:494
18:494
18:50Hey, sis.
19:20Just thought you'd like to know.
19:22Father's not feeling that good today.
19:24Might have been that dinner last night.
19:27Meeting is postponed.
19:49You really know how to spoil a good moment.
20:02Oh, this isn't a game, Duke.
20:03I've seen what you've done.
20:05Reckless spending, scandals.
20:07You're dragging this company down.
20:10Now, you have a choice.
20:12You either step down quietly, or I bring these to Edward.
20:17We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess.
20:20What?
20:21Crown you his successor?
20:23He'd rather give this place to the janitor than to trust either of us.
20:26The janitor, yeah.
20:27Well, at least I'm trying to save what's left of this family.
20:31You don't care about this company, Duke.
20:33All you care about is the title, the image.
20:36Nothing real.
20:37Spare me.
20:38The lecture, Maria.
20:40You don't want to save anything.
20:41You just want control.
20:42You know what?
20:43If you want to drag yourself down, go ahead.
20:49But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.
20:52I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.
21:00I heard you postponed the meeting.
21:02Is everything all right?
21:03Nothing serious.
21:04Just a headache.
21:07Not feeling my best today.
21:08That's exactly why it's time to move forward.
21:11Let me take this off your shoulders.
21:13You know there's no one better fit to run the family business.
21:16Maybe.
21:18But let's have this chat another day.
21:21Father, look at me.
21:23Look at me.
21:24I'm ready.
21:26I'm finally ready.
21:27I'm getting married.
21:29I'm starting my own family.
21:31I know my responsibilities now.
21:33Can you at least leave Dad alone today?
21:36I told you, no meetings.
21:38Dad's feeling better now.
21:40He just needs a day of rest
21:41before he's ready to announce his decision.
21:44Right, Dad?
21:46I'm fine.
21:46I don't know.
21:58He's going to me.
22:02I'm fine.
22:04I love you.
22:04I love you.
22:09Olivia, you don't know me, but we got to talk.
22:33Sign it.
22:39An NDA, what's this for?
22:44You want your money, don't you?
22:46Then sign it.
22:54Done.
22:55So am I free to go now?
22:56Free.
22:57Oh, no, you're not free, John.
22:59We had a deal, remember?
23:01That deal was for one night, Maria.
23:03One night.
23:06Yeah, it was one night.
23:08But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.
23:11Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple.
23:14You're not going anywhere, John.
23:16Not until you convince everyone that we are in love.
23:20And by the time we're done, even you might believe it.
23:24Now I understand John's poor judgment.
23:36Only a fool will leave you behind.
23:40And who exactly are you?
23:41I believe you met my sister, Maria.
23:45I'm Duke.
23:46Then listen carefully.
23:47I'm going to destroy John and her.
23:51So if you're here to get in my way...
23:52I wouldn't dream of it.
23:54As a matter of fact, I plan to enjoy it for a second.
23:56And why would you want to tear down your own sister?
24:00And how exactly are we going to do that?
24:03You see, Maria believes she owns everyone.
24:07Even her own family.
24:08But without that control, she's got nothing.
24:11All we got to do...
24:13Is to pull the rug from under her.
24:15She'll slowly fall apart.
24:18So we just sit back and watch?
24:20Exactly.
24:22No bold moves, no confrontations.
24:24Just time.
24:26Maria can be her worst enemy, given the right push.
24:29And where do I fit into all of this?
24:33Let's just say that, uh...
24:36I could use some motivating, am I?
24:41Olivia, are you looking for a job?
24:46So, John.
24:48How did you and my daughter cross paths?
24:51Paris.
24:52Just two months ago.
24:53By this end.
24:55I like fate.
24:57Seems so sudden.
24:57What's with the big rush?
25:01Father.
25:02Do you remember you told me something about love?
25:04Not needing explanations or definitions.
25:09You said love was like...
25:10Being alive.
25:13You know when you are, and you know when you're not.
25:19That's how I knew.
25:22I was alive.
25:23After all these years.
25:26To being alive.
25:27And to love.
25:28Hope we're not too late to join the celebrations.
25:37Well, Duke.
25:38Aren't you going to introduce us to your lovely guest?
25:42This is Olivia.
25:43She's a master chef.
25:45Thought she might bring a little spice to our house.
25:48Is that really necessary?
25:50Don't we have all the help we need?
25:52Oh, nonsense.
25:53It's a splendid idea.
25:54You're very welcome here.
25:55Thank you, Mr. Weston.
25:58I'll be sure to make myself useful.
26:01And of course, serve you, Miss Maria.
26:08And you must be John?
26:11I'm Olivia.
26:11Oh, Grace.
26:15There you are, darling.
26:16Meet Olivia, our new chef.
26:19She's going to be staying with us for a while.
26:21Oh, isn't this cozy?
26:24One big, happy family.
26:26Two new beginnings, then.
26:27All right, drop the act.
26:39What are you doing here?
26:40Isn't it obvious?
26:43Making myself a hug?
26:44That dress.
26:46That's Laura's.
26:48Oh, this?
26:51Yeah, she was kind enough to let me borrow it.
26:53Generous, isn't she?
26:56Generous.
26:57She bought that dress with my money.
27:00That dress doesn't belong to you.
27:03Just like this life doesn't.
27:06Take it off.
27:07Now.
27:08You'll have to rip it off me first.
27:10You're pathetic.
27:18All this power, all this wealth.
27:21And you still can't stand someone challenging you, Maria.
27:25Challenging me?
27:26Challenge me all you want.
27:29But when you fall again, you will fall.
27:33Don't expect me to help you up.
27:35Again.
27:37Help.
27:39Please.
27:40We'll see who loses Maria.
27:48Enjoy your borrowed life.
27:51Because it's not going to last.
27:54Oh.
27:55And next time?
27:57I won't be so polite.
27:58Did you make these yourself?
28:24Yes, sir.
28:26Thought a little something homemade might brighten the morning.
28:29Well, mission accomplished.
28:32Please, sit, Olivia.
28:33You deserve a break.
28:36It's nice to feel appreciated around here.
28:39You know, this house isn't so easy.
28:42What is that?
28:43Is it the room?
28:44I can arrange something bigger for your life.
28:45No, it's not the room or anything like that.
28:46No, it's not the room or anything like that.
28:47It's just the way things are.
28:50You know, I didn't grow up with all this money and power.
28:54My family were just simple people.
28:56You think I was born into this life?
28:59No.
29:00I had to build it.
29:02Piece by piece.
29:03That's why it hurt so much.
29:05Saying my kids, they never had to fight for anything.
29:08The other day, Maria, she told me I stink of poverty.
29:16She can't even look at me without disgust.
29:19Olivia, this is my house.
29:21If anyone in this family doesn't like it, they're free to leave.
29:24I couldn't stop thinking about you.
29:35Didn't know where you were.
29:37Were you all right?
29:38Where was I?
29:39After you left me?
29:42Broke.
29:43Homeless.
29:44Alone.
29:46I stared where I could.
29:48But don't worry.
29:49I didn't sell myself, if that's what you're wondering.
29:52Olivia, please.
29:53I know I hurt you, but it's not what you think.
29:57Just give me a chance to explain.
29:59You chose money over me, John.
30:02And died.
30:04You can't just forget.
30:06You know I love you, right?
30:09Please don't forget that.
30:11I'll be done with this game soon, and then we can leave together.
30:14I promise.
30:20John!
30:21Get your hands off her now!
30:23You're set to marry my daughter.
30:31Yet here you are with another woman under my roof.
30:35It's not what it looks like.
30:38I knew Olivia from before.
30:39From before?
30:40From where exactly?
30:41Mr. Weston, I don't know who he is.
30:44He's just a stranger to me.
30:49Okay, I'm trying to understand what Maria sees in you, or if she's seen clearly at all.
30:53Look, Dad.
30:54John and I are going to handle this privately, aren't we, John?
30:58Let's go.
30:59John, you cross this line again, you won't get within a mile of this family.
31:03Are we clear?
31:05Are we clear?
31:14Do you have any idea what you've done?
31:17Everyone is suspicious now.
31:20We had a plan, and you managed to ruin it in one day.
31:23Maybe you shouldn't have relied on a plan so fragile that a single mistake could break it.
31:29You're here because you're supposed to follow orders, not question me.
31:35Do your job.
31:37Prove your worth.
31:38And then you'll get your money.
31:40Money?
31:41Right.
31:42But let's be real, Maria.
31:43If your father doesn't choose you, you've got nothing to give me, do you?
31:50So what's the backup plan?
31:52Because from where I'm standing, you're not in as control as you think.
31:55Don't push me, John.
31:56You're here because when you signed that paper, you gave away any control you had.
32:02In fact, you handed me the keys to your life.
32:06If you fail me, I'll make sure that you lose everything.
32:13Even the things you didn't know you had left.
32:16So go ahead.
32:18Test me if you want.
32:20But if I were you, I'd start thinking about the price of obedience.
32:29You know, Olivia, you're playing your part beautifully.
32:33But remember, you're here to do a job, not to get cozy with my father.
32:41I'm here to do exactly what I was brought here to do, Duke.
32:46But I think I'm going to do it my way, not yours.
32:49Careful, Olivia.
32:52Don't think you're running the show here.
32:55This is my house.
32:57And remember, I brought you here.
32:58Maybe so.
33:00But while I'm here, this is my room.
33:03And you're not welcome in it.
33:05Yeah?
33:07If I decide to stay...
33:10Then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you.
33:15You see, he knows something about dignity.
33:19Clearly something you've never learned.
33:20You think his protection will keep you safe here?
33:25Mr. Weston let me in here.
33:28And you see, he's the one calling the shots.
33:32Not you.
33:40Olivia, you bring something to this house I thought I'd lost.
33:44Really, Mr. Weston?
33:49I think we're well past Mr. Weston now.
33:52Don't you?
33:54All right, Edward.
33:57I find myself looking forward to each day, knowing I'll see you.
34:03Edward, I didn't expect.
34:05I mean, like, I never thought that...
34:07Sometimes, words just get in the way.
34:14How could you?
34:26After all these years?
34:32I can't do this anymore.
34:33I have my lawyer sign the papers.
34:37Mom, don't do this.
34:54Don't let her push you out.
34:57If anyone should be leaving, it's her.
34:59Oh, my baby girl.
35:01This is not about her.
35:04This is about your father.
35:05He's searching for something else.
35:08And I'm tired of being the one waiting.
35:11Stay then.
35:12Let him see what he's giving up.
35:15She's calling to be the one holding us together.
35:17I tried.
35:18I tried for so many years.
35:20But no matter how much love I gave,
35:22it was never enough to feel the emptiness in him.
35:25Please, take care of each other.
35:37And don't ever think you are not enough.
35:40Are you going to say goodbye to her?
36:01Grace made her choice.
36:03There's nothing more to say.
36:04So, how are things going to be now?
36:08Between us, I mean.
36:11This isn't the time for that discussion.
36:14Is that your way of saying you regret this?
36:16Are you blaming me?
36:18No.
36:19It was bound to happen.
36:20Grace was always looking for an excuse to leave.
36:22Oh, so I'm just an excuse.
36:24That's it.
36:29Fairy tale's over.
36:31Cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen.
36:40I'm going to ask you this once.
36:42What did you do to my mother?
36:46Nothing.
36:48Maybe she just finally had enough.
36:51Watching her own children turn out to be such disappointment.
36:54Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.
36:56In this house, you're going to get eaten up alive.
37:00And you'll be left with nothing.
37:02Nothing?
37:03Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.
37:07And you know what?
37:09It's delicious, Maria.
37:11Okay.
37:12What, you think throwing yourself at him gives you power?
37:15It only proves what everyone already sees.
37:17A woman so desperate,
37:20she'll hang on to any man with a pulse and a dollar.
37:23At least I didn't have to write a check
37:25just to make me feel wanted.
37:27You see,
37:28that's the difference between us, Maria.
37:31Yeah, we'll enjoy it while it lasts.
37:33Because once my father sees who you really are,
37:36he'll throw you out with the rest of the trash.
37:40Stay away from my father.
37:42And stay the hell out of my life.
37:45Got it.
37:47Stay away from me.
38:05John, have you lost your mind?
38:26What are you doing here?
38:27Just give me a minute, please.
38:33What are you really doing here?
38:35What's the plan?
38:36I'm here to keep my promise, John.
38:39To make sure you regret every moment.
38:42Olivia.
38:50Olivia, this doesn't have to be about revenge.
38:53I'm here for the money.
38:54For us.
38:56Help me and we can leave this together.
38:59You left me, John.
39:02Broke me.
39:03You broke us.
39:05And now you're all wrapped up in Maria's lies.
39:10I've made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you.
39:13Not for one second.
39:17You think you can just pick up the pieces?
39:20It's not that simple, John.
39:23Not all wounds can just heal.
39:25Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece of him if I can still have you.
39:31Maria?
39:31Do I really need to remind you who wins you?
39:55If you want your money, you're going to stay in your role.
40:00And if you think you're coming into my bed again, you're going to stay away from this.
40:07You really think you can still buy everything?
40:11It's actually amusing how little it costs to make him forget you.
40:15Maria, that's not...
40:16Look.
40:17Either you're going to take the life I'm giving you, or you're going to throw it away.
40:23For her.
40:25Choose wisely.
40:41Everything's falling apart.
40:43If I don't find a way to stay in this game, Maria will toss me out of that ascent.
40:48Why do you still care about Maria's money?
40:51It's not even hers, it's her father's.
40:53Look, maybe we should play by his rules, not hers.
40:57Why would he give me a million dollars?
41:00Edward doesn't care about me.
41:01Not one bit.
41:03No, he doesn't care about you.
41:06But does have other interests.
41:09Don't even think about it, Olivia.
41:11Ed Richardson, the rich man who gets bored easily, he'll use you up and throw you out like nothing.
41:18Isn't that why we're here?
41:20For the money?
41:23Let me handle this.
41:25Don't play games with these people.
41:29We'll figure it out.
41:31Tomorrow.
41:41Maria, do you know what alexithymia is?
42:03It's when someone can truly feel or express their emotions like others do.
42:10For you, it means you may never know what love really is.
42:15And what exactly is love?
42:17Love is a connection beyond reason.
42:22It's that force that rules you in even when you try to resist.
42:25It makes you care, beyond reason.
42:31Then it sounds unnecessary.
42:34I don't need it.
42:35You're a remarkable woman, Maria.
42:38It's a shame.
42:39Someone like you might never know what it's like to love.
42:44Or be loved.
42:50Maria?
42:51Wait, tell me, John.
42:55What is love?
42:58I don't know.
43:01It's not something you say.
43:02It's something you feel.
43:14Did you feel it?
43:17Did you feel love?
43:18Is this part of the game, or is this?
43:21What did it feel like with Olivia?
43:23When you touched her?
43:25When you kissed her?
43:26It's like everything fades.
43:29It's just her.
43:31The way she laughs.
43:33The way she smells.
43:34Tie this over your eyes.
43:46Now touch me.
43:48Touch me as if I'm her.
44:03That's enough.
44:04I don't have time for fantasies.
44:06Come on, get up.
44:07We have work to do.
44:08Good morning, John.
44:19Decided to join us, I see.
44:27Look, Father, I was saying.
44:29Now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family competition.
44:33It's tearing us all apart.
44:34So you're finally giving up?
44:37Well, if it means peace, then yes.
44:42Give Duke the title, if you think he's earned it.
44:45It's not likely to surrender, Maria.
44:48What's behind the change of heart?
44:49Letting go doesn't mean that I've lost.
44:52It just means that I'm faking my battles.
44:55That's all.
44:57You know what, Maria?
44:58Enjoy your last days here.
45:00Because once I'm in charge, this whole empire is going to look a lot different.
45:05Is that a threat, Duke?
45:07One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.
45:11So, I overheard the conversation.
45:24That means we won, right?
45:26Oh, you feel.
45:29She won again.
45:31But you're the CEO.
45:32She's out.
45:33It's not what you really wanted.
45:35Do you think that this is what I wanted?
45:36Business reports, boardroom meetings.
45:40This was always her dream, not mine.
45:42Then what do you really want?
45:45To be seen.
45:47To have my father look at me just once.
45:50And tell me that he's proud.
45:52That's gone now.
45:53She took it from me.
45:56Oh, Duke.
45:57Something the matter?
45:59You don't look like a man who just got everything he wanted.
46:02You never wanted me to have this.
46:03Just wanted to win.
46:04Yeah, you know, if you were looking for dad's approval, you were always going to be disappointed.
46:10Because you know there was always one favorite.
46:12And guess what?
46:14It wasn't you.
46:22Hey, you dare touch me?
46:24Do you really get your kicks tearing down people?
46:27Even your own family?
46:28Oh, please.
46:29Duke's life's been falling apart for years.
46:31My help's hardly needed.
46:32You tear people down just to make yourself feel powerful.
46:36But guess what?
46:37It's all slipping through your fingers now, isn't it, Maria?
46:39You're stepping out of line.
46:40Back.
46:42Remember where you are and who you're dealing with.
46:45Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with.
46:48And I pity you.
46:51You're all alone.
46:53You're too proud to even see it.
46:55Maria, Edward knows.
46:56Duke's telling him everything.
46:57Right now!
47:02Dad, please just listen to me.
47:04I don't have time for this, Duke.
47:05Save the drama.
47:06I'll have a company to run.
47:07No, you're going to hear me now.
47:09I know that Maria is the one who can handle the business.
47:12I've always known.
47:14All I ever wanted was for you to see me as something more.
47:18To trust me.
47:19Trust you?
47:20When have you done anything but rely on this family's name?
47:22You've wasted every chance you've had.
47:26And Maria, you think she's so perfect?
47:30She bought John.
47:32She paid him to act like her fiancé.
47:34It's all an act.
47:36And Olivia?
47:37Hmm?
47:37Tell me, Duke, who paid her to play her part in this?
47:41Did you two really think I wouldn't notice?
47:56You think I'm blind?
47:57You never gave me a chance, Dad.
47:59You always dismissed me like I was nothing.
48:02Maybe if you just had a little thing.
48:05Just a little.
48:06You'd see maybe we're not playing games.
48:08Faith, this little performance was meant to prove something to me.
48:13You never wanted to see what we're capable of.
48:16Maria might be desperate, and I've made mistakes, but we're not completely useless.
48:23We're just trying to earn our place, Father.
48:27You know what?
48:28If that takes more than you're willing to see, then maybe that's your own fault.
48:34Neither of you deserve a thing.
48:35Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
48:44Maria's not going to pay me.
48:46I should have seen this coming.
48:48So what now, Olivia?
48:49What can we do?
48:51There's no we, John.
48:53You know that, right?
48:55What are you on about?
48:56Just yesterday, you and I...
48:57Yesterday was a mistake.
48:59I have a plan, and you're not involved in it.
49:04It's this plan, Olivia.
49:07Why don't we let everyone hear it?
49:10Neither of you deserve a thing.
49:12Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.
49:15Edward, should we make things clear for everyone?
49:32I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes, I've decided not to retire.
49:38You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.
49:45No.
49:46I wanted something real.
49:49But with you two, there's always demands, expectations.
49:54Never love.
49:57Olivia, was this your plan all along?
49:58I'm sorry.
50:04I was lost.
50:06Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.
50:10I wasn't myself.
50:11Forgive me.
50:13You've been through so much, it would affect anyone.
50:18But before we go any further, there's something you need to know.
50:23I didn't come here by accident.
50:25Okay, what do you mean, Olivia?
50:30Well, I came here with a plan.
50:34I came here to hurt Maria.
50:37You see, she paid my boyfriend one million dollars to pretend to be her fiancé.
50:49John was your boyfriend.
50:52Maria used my money for this.
50:53Yeah.
50:58But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.
51:05Because I met you.
51:08And I think I'm falling for you.
51:12She's using you.
51:18Look, she's nothing.
51:19You're making a mistake.
51:20No, Maria.
51:21The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wealth.
51:26Oh, my God.
51:27Olivia, she's the only one who's been honest with me.
51:30She sees me for who I really am.
51:32When you looked at him, all you saw was power, authority, someone to use for your gain.
51:40But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love and ready to give it in return.
51:51Over these past few days, it's as if I've come back to life again, feeling younger than I have in years.
51:57So, my decision is final.
52:02I'm staying on.
52:03I'm going to lead the company with Olivia by my side.
52:07Olivia, is this who you really are?
52:10Is this how you take revenge?
52:12You never wanted to know the real me, John.
52:16And that's the real tragedy here.
52:18John, leave.
52:20I'm taking enough from this house.
52:21Father, you're making a fool of yourself.
52:34You know what?
52:34You are after one thing.
52:36You're after his money.
52:37Money?
52:39That's all you two ever wanted from me.
52:42She's using you.
52:44She's manipulating you.
52:45And you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.
52:48I see very clearly now.
52:50This family, this house.
52:53You used it like a playground.
52:57This is my choice.
53:00This is my future.
53:03I'm done living by your expectations.
53:06So, okay, what?
53:08You're going to throw us away?
53:10For her?
53:11No, Maria.
53:12You threw me away long before Olivia came into my life.
53:16So, that's it?
53:18You're replacing us with her?
53:20She's nothing, Dad.
53:22She's no family.
53:24Duke, I didn't need a family.
53:27That's why I'm here.
53:31And you're not.
53:33I'm doing it.
53:43I'm here.
53:44I'm here.
