00:08:20Arthur!
00:08:21What are you doing? You're bleeding!
00:08:25For a dog?
00:08:27You threw yourself at a pack of hounds?
00:08:29For a dog?
00:08:31I panicked.
00:08:33They were going to kill it.
00:08:38It's your therapy dog, Char.
00:08:41I... I couldn't just watch.
00:08:44A very dedicated owner.
00:08:47Get him patched up.
00:08:49The dog stays in the kennel.
00:08:53You've got some nerve.
00:08:56The offshore account.
00:08:57$300,000 missing.
00:09:00Care to explain?
00:09:02I took it.
00:09:03I used the money to buy the dog.
00:09:05Half a million for a pet.
00:09:07You must love it very much.
00:09:09It's a purebred.
00:09:13Fine.
00:09:14The truth is, I was lonely, Eleanor.
00:09:17You and Charlotte...
00:09:19You have your world.
00:09:21The business.
00:09:22The family.
00:09:24I just wanted something of my own.
00:09:28Keep your pet in line.
00:09:30If it acts up again, I won't use the hounds next time.
00:09:34Yes, ma'am.
00:09:44I can't do this anymore.
00:09:46Look at me.
00:09:47I lied to her.
00:09:48I told her I embezzled the money to buy you.
00:09:51She bought it.
00:09:53She's a monster.
00:09:55She wants to torture me to death.
00:09:58Not if we end her first.
00:10:00Both of them.
00:10:01Once they're gone, the estate, the company.
00:10:03It all goes to me.
00:10:08The trainer said the dog lacks discipline.
00:10:12It needs strength training.
00:10:15It's too heavy.
00:10:16She can't pull that.
00:10:18The sun is too strong today.
00:10:20Are you questioning the trainer's method, Arthur?
00:10:24No.
00:10:26Begin.
00:10:28Move!
00:10:29This damn bastard dared to kick my ass.
00:10:38Is that all the strength you have?
00:10:41Or are you just useless?
00:10:45Keep the pace!
00:10:51If you stop, we add more bricks.
00:10:55That old hag is really crazy!
00:10:57Keep moving.
00:11:05It burns.
00:11:07He actually hit me.
00:11:19Look at my hands.
00:11:21She made me pull bricks today.
00:11:23I know.
00:11:24I watched.
00:11:26You watched!
00:11:27You stood there and did nothing!
00:11:29Eleanor was right next to me.
00:11:31What could I do?
00:11:31Break our cover?
00:11:33I am bleeding under this fur.
00:11:36My gin is peeling off.
00:11:37She knows!
00:11:38She doesn't know.
00:11:40Charlotte still thinks you are a dog.
00:11:41I don't care.
00:11:42I want her dead.
00:11:44Both of them!
00:11:46Kill them?
00:11:48Are you crazy?
00:11:49The police will investigate.
00:11:50If you don't do it, I will walk out right now.
00:11:53Stop it.
00:11:54Be rational.
00:11:55I will take off this suit in front of Charlotte!
00:11:59I will tell her everything about the offshore accounts.
00:12:03About us!
00:12:04Shut up!
00:12:06Fine.
00:12:07I will do it.
00:12:09When?
00:12:10Tomorrow morning.
00:12:11They go to the private hospital for the checkup.
00:12:14How?
00:12:15The mountain road.
00:12:16I will cut the brake fluid line.
00:12:18Just enough to leak slowly.
00:12:20A car crash.
00:12:22It will look like an accident.
00:12:24They will go off the cliff.
00:12:25And the company?
00:12:26I am the husband.
00:12:28I inherit everything.
00:12:29The estate.
00:12:31The board.
00:12:33And me.
00:12:34In the master bedroom.
00:12:35Yes.
00:12:37Just endure one more night.
00:12:39Do not fail me.
00:12:40The mountain road.
00:12:42I will cut the brake fluid line.
00:12:55Just wait to die.
00:13:13Elinor.
00:13:14Charlotte.
00:13:15It's time.
00:13:17The car is ready for the hospital.
00:13:22Charlotte.
00:13:23Are you ready?
00:13:27Sir, Madam and Miss Charlotte are not here.
00:13:29Not here?
00:13:31Where are they?
00:13:32Madam arranged a private jet at five this morning.
00:13:35A jet?
00:13:37To where?
00:13:38They have gone to the overseas estate.
00:13:40For Miss Charlotte's recovery.
00:13:44Without telling me!
00:13:45I am her husband!
00:13:48Madam said you are too busy with special projects.
00:13:51She didn't want to disturb you.
00:13:53How long will they be gone?
00:13:55Madam did not specify.
00:13:57Perhaps a month?
00:14:08Is it done?
00:14:09They left.
00:14:11They took a private jet overseas.
00:14:14Left?
00:14:15What about the car?
00:14:17Forget the car.
00:14:19We have the entire estate to ourselves.
00:14:22For a whole month.
00:14:33Where are the maids?
00:14:35The security?
00:14:36Elinor gave the inside faff a week off.
00:14:39Security is strictly kept outside the perimeter.
00:14:41We are completely alone.
00:14:51I am out!
00:14:53I am finally out of this cave!
00:14:58To our new estate.
00:15:05Charlotte never even wears this.
00:15:06She just locks it away.
00:15:08It belongs to you now.
00:15:10Everything here belongs to you.
00:15:16Oh, this pad is so soft.
00:15:18I hated that concrete floor.
00:15:21You are safe now.
00:15:23Not until we have the money.
00:15:26Did you find your signature stamps?
00:15:28And her safe.
00:15:29I have the compilation.
00:15:31Do it tomorrow.
00:15:32Transfer the core funds to your offshore accounts.
00:15:35I will.
00:15:37The Sterling Group will be an empty shell when they return.
00:15:44Am I better than her?
00:15:48Much better.
00:15:49She lies there like a dead fish.
00:15:53Then why did you marry her?
00:15:55For the power.
00:15:57For this room.
00:15:59She carries the bloodline.
00:16:01But I carry the brain.
00:16:03What happens to her when we drain the accounts?
00:16:06She becomes nothing.
00:16:09Elinor loses her controlling share.
00:16:11And we buy them out for pennies.
00:16:15I want to see Elinor's face when she realizes she is broke.
00:16:20You will.
00:16:21I'll prepare the authorization papers tonight.
00:16:33Lawyer James.
00:16:35Are the emergency injunctions documents ready?
00:16:38Yes, madam.
00:16:38They just need your signature.
00:16:40Good.
00:16:41Arthur is going to move the funds tomorrow.
00:16:43Let him try.
00:16:44We will block the transfer at the final authorization stage.
00:16:47He will be caught red-handed.
00:16:48Make sure the trap is tight.
00:16:52Mom?
00:16:54You look pale.
00:16:55Is everything okay?
00:16:57Charlotte, I wanted to hide this from you.
00:16:59At least until the baby was safely born.
00:17:01But as the heir to the Sterling family, you have the right to know the truth.
00:17:05This is impossible.
00:17:07How dare he?
00:17:08In our marital bed?
00:17:10This is who he is.
00:17:11A beast consumed by greed.
00:17:14I won't cry.
00:17:16Crying for this kind of man is not worth it.
00:17:23These are the authorization papers for the new offshore investment project.
00:17:30$30 million?
00:17:32Arthur, this is almost all of our liquid reserves.
00:17:35It is a high-yield opportunity.
00:17:38The market waits for no one.
00:17:41But Madam Eleanor is not here.
00:17:42A transfer of this magnitude requires her direct signature.
00:17:49I have Madam Eleanor's power of authority.
00:17:52Even with the stamp, it's highly a regulator.
00:17:56Are you questioning my authority, Charlotte?
00:18:00Is on medical leave.
00:18:02And Eleanor has handed over all operations to me.
00:18:05Sign the papers.
00:18:07Or I will find executives who know how to follow orders.
00:18:17Nobody is signing anything.
00:18:23Madam Eleanor.
00:18:25Miss Charlotte.
00:18:27Eleanor.
00:18:28Charlotte.
00:18:29You...
00:18:30You are supposed to be overseas.
00:18:32And miss the show?
00:18:33I wouldn't miss it.
00:18:34For the world.
00:18:41Charlotte, honey.
00:18:42You shouldn't be traveling.
00:18:44The baby...
00:18:44Don't touch me, Arthur.
00:18:46What's wrong?
00:18:46The doctor said you needed rest.
00:18:48I was just handling some routine investments for the company.
00:18:50Routine investments?
00:18:52Into a shell company registered under your personal name in the Cayman Islands?
00:18:55It's a holding strategy.
00:18:57To avoid tax, I was going to report it to the board tomorrow.
00:19:01Get out.
00:19:01All of you.
00:19:03You are suspended from all financial operations, Arthur.
00:19:07Your access codes have been revoked.
00:19:08You can't do that!
00:19:09I am the acting CEO!
00:19:12I just did.
00:19:16Eleanor, it was a misunderstanding.
00:19:18I was only trying to protect the family assets.
00:19:20We will see about that.
00:19:22Tomorrow night, I am hosting a grand charity banquet.
00:19:27The entire board and the old money families will be there.
00:19:30A banquet?
00:19:31Now?
00:19:32To celebrate Charlotte's safe return.
00:19:35And to show the world how united our family is.
00:19:38You will attend.
00:19:40And you will bring that loyal Sam Mayen of yours.
00:19:43On a lash.
00:19:46The dog?
00:19:48To a formal banquet?
00:19:52Eleanor, that's absurd.
00:19:54The guests will be terrified.
00:19:56If you don't bring the dog, I will have the veterinarian euthanize it tomorrow morning.
00:20:00Dress well, Arthur.
00:20:02The cameras will be waiting.
00:20:07Put it on.
00:20:07Now.
00:20:08No!
00:20:09I am not wearing that thing again.
00:20:11I can't breathe in it.
00:20:12Eleanor said if you don't wear it, she will euthanize you tomorrow morning.
00:20:16She is flopping!
00:20:17She doesn't have the gut!
00:20:20I am not taking that risk.
00:20:22My entire future is on the line tonight.
00:20:26You put this on.
00:20:28And you crawl like a good dog.
00:20:31Or I will kill you myself.
00:20:51Look at that.
00:20:52The Sterling family's live-in son-in-law.
00:20:55From acting CEO to a professional dog walker in one day.
00:20:58Pathetic.
00:21:00Keep moving.
00:21:01Don't make a scene.
00:21:02Don't make a scene.
00:21:18Don't make a scene.
00:21:19Arthur.
00:21:20Bring the dog to the center.
00:21:21It's time for its dinner.
00:21:23No.
00:21:31Eat it.
00:21:34Is there a problem, Arthur?
00:21:37Doesn't the dog like the food?
00:21:39Maybe it needs the owner to set an example.
00:21:43I said, eat it!
00:21:46Arthur, I will kill you!
00:21:55Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining the Sterling family tonight.
00:22:02Family is the foundation of our business.
00:22:05Unity is our greatest asset.
00:22:12Recently, my daughter, Charlotte, has faced some health challenges, but she is back stronger
00:22:20than ever.
00:22:27But tonight, I want to take a special moment.
00:22:33I want to specially thank my son-in-law, Arthur.
00:22:38While Charlotte and I were away, Arthur worked very hard.
00:22:43He made special contributions behind to secure his future.
00:22:49She still needs me.
00:22:51Let me show you all his dedication.
00:23:01What is that?
00:23:05Is that Charlotte's best friend, Sophie?
00:23:14Charlotte is just a stupid incubator.
00:23:17I never loved her.
00:23:22No!
00:23:23They spotted us!
00:23:26Am I better than her?
00:23:28You will be the madam of this house.
00:23:31Arthur!
00:23:32Is that you and your wife's best friend?
00:23:34You called your pregnant wife an incubator?
00:23:40Turn it off!
00:23:42Turn it off right now!
00:23:50Close it!
00:24:04Stop that dog!
00:24:06Strip the skin off her.
00:24:16No!
00:24:18No!
00:24:18Don't look at me!
00:24:20Don't look at me!
00:24:21Madam Eleanor!
00:24:23Please!
00:24:24Forgive me!
00:24:29Please!
00:24:30Remember love!
00:24:32I am the father of your child!
00:24:37You two make a perfect match.
00:24:41Charlotte!
00:24:42Please!
00:24:44Throw the garbage out!
00:25:03Arthur!
00:25:04Is it true you were caught in bed with another woman?
00:25:08Did Madam Eleanor strip you of all your shares?
00:25:11Get out of my way!
00:25:12No comment!
00:25:13Who is this woman?
00:25:14Why is she in her underwear?
00:25:17Stop making pictures!
00:25:19Make them stop!
00:25:33It's freezing.
00:25:35Arthur, I need a coat.
00:25:37My wallet is in the car, but I have my emergency credit cards in my inner pocket.
00:25:42We find an ATM, we get cash, and we check into hotel.
00:25:57She froze them.
00:25:59She froze them.
00:26:01Try another one.
00:26:02Try your business account.
00:26:03I have nothing else!
00:26:04They are all linked to the Sterling corporate system!
00:26:08Nothing.
00:26:09It's all gone.
00:26:12Don't touch me!
00:26:13We are sleeping on the street because of you!
00:26:16Because of me?
00:26:17You were the one who couldn't find the key to those handcuffs!
00:26:22Disgusting.
00:26:26Look at me!
00:26:27I am a joke!
00:26:29I gave you a year of my life in that dog suit!
00:26:32You wanted the money just as much as I did.
00:26:37I'll call Mike.
00:26:38He's my VP.
00:26:39He owes me.
00:26:54Mike, it's Arthur.
00:26:56Listen, I need a favor.
00:26:57Just a few thousand in cash and a place to lay low.
00:27:01Arthur?
00:27:01I don't know anyone named Arthur.
00:27:03Stop it!
00:27:03I made you!
00:27:04Madam Eleanor issued an announcement.
00:27:06Anyone who contacts you will be fired immediately.
00:27:10Cowards!
00:27:11All of them!
00:27:15What did he say?
00:27:16Eleanor blocked everything.
00:27:18We are blacklisted in the whole city.
00:27:24Madam.
00:27:25The private investigators sent this.
00:27:28Is it the background check on the woman?
00:27:30Yes, madam.
00:27:31Her full identity.
00:27:32It's quite surprising.
00:27:42Well, Arthur really outdid himself this time.
00:27:49I'm hungry.
00:27:51We haven't eaten since yesterday.
00:27:54Drink water from the public fountain.
00:27:56Water?
00:27:57I lived in a dog curl for a year.
00:28:00I ate dog food.
00:28:02You promised me millions!
00:28:05And I almost had it.
00:28:06If you hadn't insisted on playing with those handcuffs!
00:28:09It was your idea to stay in the master bedroom.
00:28:12You arrogant fool!
00:28:16Say another word, and I will leave you here to rot.
00:28:27I know you are hurting.
00:28:29But you need to see this.
00:28:31I don't want to see anything about him.
00:28:33It's not about him.
00:28:34It's about her.
00:28:36The woman in the dog suit.
00:28:47The woman in the dog suit.
00:29:09She was my best friend.
00:29:12I paid her tuition.
00:29:15I gave her clothes.
00:29:19They planned this.
00:29:21They planned all of it.
00:29:25In my house!
00:29:28Under my nose!
00:29:30Under my nose!
00:29:45Cry.
00:29:46Cry.
00:29:47Cry it all out.
00:29:50And then you never shed another tear for them.
00:30:04I am taking over the company.
00:30:07Today.
00:30:11Good.
00:30:16I want every single competitor in this city to know.
00:30:20If they hire Arthur,
00:30:24they declare war on the Sterling Group.
00:30:31David, it's Arthur.
00:30:33Listen, I need a job.
00:30:36Just a consulting role, anything.
00:30:38Arthur, are you crazy?
00:30:40Charlotte Sterling just issued a citywide blacklist on you.
00:30:44I know the industry. I have connections.
00:30:47You are radioactive.
00:30:49Anyone who hires you gets their supply chain cut by Sterling Group.
00:30:56Lose my number.
00:30:59Another one?
00:31:00That makes 20 calls.
00:31:01She is choking us out!
00:31:06She wants us to starve.
00:31:09You said you were the brain of the company.
00:31:11A brain that can't even buy a sandwich.
00:31:14Shut up!
00:31:15If you hadn't put on that dog suit,
00:31:17none of this would have happened!
00:31:19I did it for you!
00:31:21I hid under her nose while you made promises you couldn't keep!
00:31:29She controls the supply chain.
00:31:32But she doesn't control Apex Group.
00:31:35Victor's company?
00:31:37They are Sterling's biggest rivals.
00:31:39They hate Eleanor.
00:31:41Exactly.
00:31:43And I know every single detail of Sterling's new South District development plan.
00:31:48The $10 billion project?
00:31:51We don't need a job, Sophie.
00:31:54We have a weapon.
00:31:57Sir, you need to leave.
00:31:59This is a private corporate building.
00:32:02Call Victor!
00:32:03Tell him, Arthur.
00:32:05The former acting CPO of Sterling is here with the South District bid.
00:32:11Out.
00:32:13Now.
00:32:13$10 billion!
00:32:16Tell Victor!
00:32:17He will want to hear this!
00:32:27Arthur, I saw the videos from the banquet.
00:32:30You looked very...
00:32:32submissive on the floor.
00:32:36A temporary setback.
00:32:37Eleanor played a cheap trick.
00:32:40A cheap trick that stripped you of all your power.
00:32:44Why should I talk to a beggar?
00:32:46Because the beggar has the key to the South District project.
00:32:51Eleanor has been blocking my bids there for three years.
00:32:54I drafted the core financial model for Sterling's bid.
00:32:57I know their bottom line.
00:32:59I know their suppliers.
00:33:01Words are cheap.
00:33:04You don't have access to their servers anymore.
00:33:07I don't need access.
00:33:09I planted an insider before I was kicked out.
00:33:12I can get the full hard drive.
00:33:13We give you the bid.
00:33:14You undercut them by 10%.
00:33:17You take the $10 billion project.
00:33:21And what do you want in return?
00:33:23A vice president title in Apex.
00:33:26A million dollar signing bonus.
00:33:28And the satisfaction of seeing Eleanor bankrupt.
00:33:34Ambitious for a man who smells like a dumpster.
00:33:37Get them some clean clothes.
00:33:39And a hotel room.
00:33:40Bring me the hard drive in three days.
00:33:43If you fail,
00:33:44I will throw you off this balcony.
00:33:52Real soap.
00:33:53Real hot water.
00:33:55This is just the beginning.
00:33:58Once we hand over the drive,
00:34:00we own this city.
00:34:03Is your insider reliable?
00:34:05Will they get the files?
00:34:06Money makes everyone reliable.
00:34:10I promised him half a million.
00:34:12He will copy the server tomorrow night.
00:34:16Miss Charlotte,
00:34:17with all due respect,
00:34:18the South District bid is in two days.
00:34:21Changing the project lead now is highly risky.
00:34:23Perhaps Madam Elena should step in.
00:34:25You are expecting.
00:34:28Stress is not good for the baby.
00:34:30My pregnancy has nothing to do with my ability to read a balance sheet.
00:34:34Arthur handled this portfolio for six months.
00:34:37The transition is messy.
00:34:38Arthur is gone.
00:34:40Any executive who brings his name up as an excuse for incompetence
00:34:44will join him on the street.
00:34:52The meeting is adjourned.
00:34:54Everyone back to work.
00:34:57He took the bait?
00:34:59Yes, Madam.
00:35:00The IT department monitored a junior analyst
00:35:02copying the South District folder
00:35:03onto an external hardy drive at 3 a.m.
00:35:06Did you stop him?
00:35:08As you instructed.
00:35:09We let him walk out the front door with the drive.
00:35:12Good.
00:35:13Arthur thinks he is stealing our core strategy.
00:35:17Let Victor bid his entire cash reserve
00:35:20on a ghost project.
00:35:21I want them to burn together.
00:35:29I got it.
00:35:30The whole folder.
00:35:31They didn't even notice.
00:35:33Perfect.
00:35:34The money will be wired to your account tomorrow.
00:35:36Don't contact me again.
00:35:45Here is Sterling's final bid.
00:35:47$4.2 billion for the South District land.
00:35:50$4.2.
00:35:51That's aggressive.
00:35:52They are leveraging their entire quarterly cash flow.
00:35:54Eleanor is desperate to win this.
00:35:56She wants absolute control of the district.
00:35:58If we bid $4.3 billion, we win the land.
00:36:00But we empty our reserves.
00:36:02But look at the zoning permits in the subfolder.
00:36:05Once the land is ours,
00:36:06the city will rezone it for commercial high-risers.
00:36:08The value triples in six months.
00:36:11Apex will crush Sterling completely.
00:36:15It's a massive risk, sir.
00:36:17The margin for error is zero.
00:36:20No risk!
00:36:21No empire!
00:36:22Eleanor has blocked me long enough!
00:36:24If this data is solid,
00:36:26you get your VP title tomorrow.
00:36:27Prepare the bid for $4.3 billion.
00:36:31Liquidate the short-term bonds to cover the margin.
00:36:39Good morning, Charlotte.
00:36:40I hope you brought a tissue.
00:36:42You are going to cry today.
00:36:45You are blocking my view of the stage.
00:36:48Still so arrogant.
00:36:49Let's see how arrogant you are
00:36:51when your company goes bankrupt.
00:36:53A dog wearing clothes is still a dog.
00:36:56Sit down, Sophie.
00:37:02We will now open the final blind wets
00:37:04for the South District Development Project.
00:37:10Apex Group.
00:37:11Bit amount $4.3 billion.
00:37:20$4.3 billion.
00:37:24Sterling Group.
00:37:25Bit amount...
00:37:28$1.2 billion.
00:37:30$1.2 billion.
00:37:30$1.2 billion.
00:37:31What?
00:37:32That's not even a competitive number.
00:37:34Impossible.
00:37:35The hard drive said $4.2 billion.
00:37:37I saw the spreadberts.
00:37:39The bid goes to Apex Group.
00:37:41However, the City Council has attached
00:37:43a new environmental clause to this land.
00:37:46What clause?
00:37:46This was a commercial zoning project.
00:37:48The soil survey released this morning
00:37:50revealed massive heavy metal contamination.
00:37:52The buyer must bear the full cost
00:37:53of ecological restoration
00:37:54before any commercial construction.
00:37:56Estimated restoration cost?
00:37:58$3 billion.
00:38:00$3 billion?
00:38:02The land is worthless.
00:38:08Did you really think
00:38:09I would leave the core files
00:38:10on an unsecured server, Arthur?
00:38:13The files you stole were bait.
00:38:15A fake valuation
00:38:16to make Victor drain his cash reserves.
00:38:19Enjoy your toxic wasteland, Victor.
00:38:22You just spent $4.3 billion on a dump.
00:38:26You...
00:38:27You set me up!
00:38:30No!
00:38:30Victor, listen to me!
00:38:31I didn't know!
00:38:32They tricked me!
00:38:33I liquidated my bonds for this!
00:38:36My company is bankrupt!
00:38:41Victor, stop!
00:38:42It's not our fault!
00:38:43Beat them to a pump!
00:38:45Then throw them to the police
00:38:46for corporate espionage!
00:39:03Victor, you are under investigation
00:39:05for receiving stolen corporate secrets
00:39:07and massive financial fraud.
00:39:14I didn't steal anything!
00:39:16The bid data was brought to me!
00:39:18I am a victim!
00:39:20Officers, we have security footage.
00:39:21A man named Arthur
00:39:22handed over the hard drive.
00:39:24We will cooperate fully
00:39:25to press charges.
00:39:26Save it for the judge.
00:39:27Turn around and put your hands
00:39:28behind your back.
00:39:33Find Arthur!
00:39:35Tell the street
00:39:36to hunt him down!
00:39:50Mr. Victor is going to prison
00:39:51and he gave your names
00:39:53to the feds.
00:39:56Run while you can.
00:40:06Damn him.
00:40:07Damn Charlotte.
00:40:09They gave our names to the police!
00:40:12We are going to jail!
00:40:15We need to hide.
00:40:17No hotels.
00:40:18No cameras.
00:40:28It is freezing.
00:40:29I can't stay here.
00:40:30Shut up.
00:40:31The police are looking
00:40:32for us everywhere.
00:40:33This place doesn't check ID.
00:40:40Is that all we have?
00:40:41$2,000.
00:40:43Enough for fake IDs
00:40:44and a bus ticket
00:40:44out of the state.
00:40:45Give me half!
00:40:46I need to buy food!
00:40:47No.
00:40:48I hold the money.
00:40:49You will just waste it.
00:40:50I am pregnant!
00:40:51I need a doctor!
00:40:53My stomach hurts!
00:40:55Pregnant?
00:40:56Do you think
00:40:56I am still that stupid?
00:40:58You bought that fake
00:40:59ultrasound report
00:41:00from a clinic downtown.
00:41:01I saw the text messages
00:41:02on your broken phone.
00:41:04You went through my phone?
00:41:06There is no baby.
00:41:08There never was.
00:41:10You just wanted
00:41:11an excuse
00:41:11to get back
00:41:12into the mansion.
00:41:19So what if I faked it?
00:41:21You're the idiot
00:41:22who handed Victor
00:41:23a fake drive
00:41:24and got us hunted
00:41:24like rats!
00:41:26You ruined everything!
00:41:28If you hadn't
00:41:28provoked Charlotte,
00:41:29I would still be
00:41:30the acting CEO!
00:41:38You!
00:41:39You are a loser!
00:41:41Eleanor played you
00:41:42like a fool!
00:41:43I had the world
00:41:44in my hands!
00:41:50Tomorrow morning,
00:41:51I buy the ticket.
00:41:52I leave alone.
00:41:53You stay here
00:41:54and rot.
00:42:19Thief!
00:42:23Give it to me!
00:42:25It's mine!
00:42:26It's mine!
00:42:28I earned it!
00:42:36Let go!
00:42:37You stupid bitch!
00:42:38Let go!
00:42:39Die!
00:42:40Just die!
00:42:48My money!
00:42:50My money!
00:43:12No! No!
00:43:17Police! Get down on the ground!
00:43:19Show me your hands!
00:43:22Get down!
00:43:30Arthur, Sophia, you are under arrest for corporate espionage, grand theft, and extortion.
00:43:37You have the right to remain silent.
00:43:44It's on the morning news.
00:43:46They were arrested in a basement in the slums.
00:43:50Tell the legal team.
00:43:52Make sure the prosecution pushes for the maximum sentence.
00:43:56No bail. Ever.
00:43:59It's over, Charlotte. You won. The empire is secure.
00:44:05No, mother.
00:44:08This is just the beginning.
00:44:14Victor gave us everything. The bank transfers, the emails, the hard drive.
00:44:18Victor is lying! He forced me! He threatened my life!
00:44:22He threatened you to steal the South District files from your own wife's company?
00:44:26I want a deal. I can testify against Victor. I know his offshore accounts!
00:44:34We don't need your deal. Your wife, Miss Charlotte, provided the complete server logs.
00:44:40You logged in. You authorized the copy. You are the prime suspect.
00:44:44Charlotte set me up! The files were fake!
00:44:47Fake or not, the intent to commit corporate espionage is fully documented.
00:44:52I didn't do anything! He locked me in a dog suit! I was a hostage!
00:44:57Do it today. You ship the core funds, control the pool.
00:45:01You don't sound like a hostage here. You sound like a co-conspirator.
00:45:08That... That isn't a legal recording. You can't use that?
00:45:11It was submitted by the legal owner of the estate, and it perfectly proves your motive.
00:45:19Miss Sterling, can you confirm the defendant, Arthur, had authorization to access the South District files?
00:45:25His acting CEO status was revoked prior to the theft. He used expired administrative codes.
00:45:31I was your husband! I built that portfolio!
00:45:35Order! The defendant will sit down.
00:45:39Charlotte! You know I did it for the family! Eleanor was manipulating us!
00:45:45You did it to steal my inheritance and run away with my best friend.
00:45:51And the defendant, Sophie? What was her role?
00:45:54She actively encouraged the embezzlement and assisted in delivering the stolen drive to our rival.
00:45:58You bitch! You set a trap! You knew Victor would go bankrupt!
00:46:03One more outburst and I will have you removed from the courtroom!
00:46:09They tried to destroy my company.
00:46:12I am simply holding them accountable to the law.
00:46:22Arthur, you are sentenced to 15 years in state prison without the possibility of parole.
00:46:2915 years? No! That's my whole life!
00:46:33Sophie, you are sentenced to 10 years in the women's correctional facility.
00:46:3810 years? I didn't steal the drive! He did!
00:46:42Court is adjourned. Take them away.
00:46:51Charlotte! Please! I'm the father of your child!
00:46:59My child does not have a father. He died in a dog kennel.
00:47:03Charlotte! Don't do this to me!
00:47:06It's all your fault, Arthur! You ruined me!
00:47:16Move!
00:47:17Cell block D, number 42.
00:47:20Look at the new me.
00:47:22Used to wear suits, huh?
00:47:37Faster, Evans!
00:47:38You have 50 more square feet to scrub before lunch.
00:47:42My knees are bleeding. I need a break.
00:47:45This isn't a country club. Scrub!
00:47:50The Apex liquidation is complete.
00:47:53We absorb their core assets at 30 cents on the dollar.
00:48:01Send the press release.
00:48:03I want the market to know sterling is stronger than ever.
00:48:13I'm going into labor.
00:48:15I'm going into labor.
00:48:17I'm going into labor.
00:48:20Charlotte?
00:48:22Are you all right?
00:48:24It's time.
00:48:26The water broke.
00:48:30Guards, get the car ready at the underground entrance.
00:48:33Call the private hospital.
00:48:41Fast! Fast!
00:48:43I don't care about the cost.
00:48:44I want the best anesthesiologist.
00:48:46Keep her safe.
00:48:48Absolutely, madam.
00:49:08The contraction is peaking right now.
00:49:10Miss Charlotte, I need you to push on my count.
00:49:13I can't.
00:49:14I don't have any strength left in my legs.
00:49:17Yes, you can.
00:49:18Take a very deep breath.
00:49:20Fill your lungs.
00:49:21Hold it.
00:49:22And push down.
00:49:23Heart rate is elevating.
00:49:25Blood pressure is 140 over 90.
00:49:27Three, two, one.
00:49:30Push!
00:49:35It's not enough.
00:49:36The baby is crowning, but the progress stopped.
00:49:41She's exhausted, doctor.
00:49:43Fetal heart rate is dropping.
00:49:45It's down to 90.
00:49:46The cord might be compressed.
00:49:48Miss Charlotte, this is the final moment.
00:49:51I need one long, continuous push.
00:49:54Do not stop until I tell you.
00:49:58Here comes the contraction.
00:50:00Deep breath.
00:50:00Now, push!
00:50:10The head is out.
00:50:11Keep pushing.
00:50:12Don't lose the momentum.
00:50:18Don't lose the momentum.
00:50:18Time of birth.
00:50:1914.05.
00:50:20It is a girl.
00:50:22A perfectly healthy baby girl.
00:50:27She is beautiful, Miss Charlotte.
00:50:37Madam, she's had a healthy, beautiful girl who looks just like her.
00:50:41Okay.
00:50:42Okay, that's brilliant.
00:50:50Evans, you missed a spot.
00:50:52Two inches to your left.
00:50:56I have been scrubbing this floor for five hours.
00:50:59My fingers are bleeding.
00:51:01And I don't see how that is my problem.
00:51:03I said you missed a spot.
00:51:09Now you have a lot more spots to clean.
00:51:11Start over.
00:51:12Or no dinner.
00:51:19The board meeting is scheduled for next month.
00:51:21Uncle Richard is rallying the older directors.
00:51:24He thinks your absence is his opportunity to seize the chairman's seat.
00:51:28Let him rally them.
00:51:30Let him put all his cards on the table.
00:51:34When they are all gathered in one room, believing they have won.
00:51:38That is when I will walk through the door.
00:51:50Charlotte hasn't shown her face at the headquarters once.
00:51:53She just had a baby.
00:51:54The recovery takes time.
00:51:56Time is exactly what Sturley Group don't have right now.
00:51:59The market is watching us.
00:52:00Look at the quarterly projections.
00:52:02The Apex acquisition was a win, but the integration is a mess.
00:52:07These numbers.
00:52:09The supply chain disruption is costing us millions every week.
00:52:12Exactly.
00:52:13A woman fresh off maternity leave cannot handle this.
00:52:16She is weak.
00:52:17But Eleanor officially handed the chairman's seal to her.
00:52:20Charlotte holds the majority voting rights.
00:52:22Voting rights don't matter if the board declares her unfit to lead due to medical reasons.
00:52:26Article 7, Section 4 of the Corporate Cardin.
00:52:29An interim chairman can be appointed by a 2% majority of the executive board.
00:52:35The board meeting is tomorrow at 10 a.m.
00:52:37I have secured five votes already.
00:52:39I need both of you.
00:52:41Back me tomorrow.
00:52:42And your dividend payouts will double next quarter.
00:52:46I guarantee it.
00:52:48You have my vote, Richard.
00:52:50The company needs a strong hand.
00:52:52Mine too.
00:52:53We can't let a girl play house with a billion dollar empires.
00:52:58To a new era for the Sterling group.
00:53:13That looks delicious, fresh meat.
00:53:16I'll take it.
00:53:20That is my ration.
00:53:21Give it back.
00:53:25What did you say to me, Mr. CEO?
00:53:29I said, give it back.
00:53:39Eat it off the floor, you piece of garbage.
00:53:50Eat it off the floor, you piece of garbage.
00:53:54The convoy is ready downstairs.
00:53:56Six SUVs.
00:53:57The press is already gathered outside the headquarters.
00:54:00Are the board members seated in the conference room?
00:54:02Yes.
00:54:03Uncle Richard arrived 30 minutes early.
00:54:05He is acting very restless.
00:54:07He has spent the last month spreading rumors that you are bedridden and mentally unstable.
00:54:12Uncle Richard is a fossil.
00:54:14He belongs in a museum, not a boardroom.
00:54:22Today, we clear out the last of the garbage for her.
00:54:27It is past 10 a.m., gentlemen, just as I predicted.
00:54:32She will not show up.
00:54:34She just had a baby a month ago.
00:54:36Her body is weak.
00:54:37She shouldn't be running a multi-billion dollar enterprise from a nursery.
00:54:40But the South District integration requires immediate signatures.
00:54:44The contractors are threatening to stop work.
00:54:47The company requires a strong, present leader, not an absent nursing mother.
00:54:54Arthur and Eleanor are gone, leaving a power vacuum our rivals will exploit.
00:54:59We need a leader.
00:55:01Per Article 7, I propose an immediate vote for an interim chairman.
00:55:04I second the motion.
00:55:06Richard has the experience to lead us through this.
00:55:14The floor is secure, Madam Chairman.
00:55:16They are in the main room.
00:55:21Then let the record show that effective immediately, I shall assume the role.
00:55:27Open it.
00:55:44Charlotte, you are here.
00:55:46We thought...
00:55:47Get your hands off my chair, Richard.
00:55:58I am here.
00:56:00Now, who wants to vote for an interim chairman?
00:56:03Raise your hand.
00:56:11It's past 10 a.m.
00:56:12I told you, she won't show up.
00:56:16She just had a baby a month ago.
00:56:18She shouldn't be running a multi-billion dollar empires.
00:56:22The company needs a strong leader, not a nursing mother.
00:56:26Arthur almost ruined us.
00:56:29Eleanor is stepping down.
00:56:31Someone has to take the wheel.
00:56:35I propose a vote for an interim chairman to stabilize the market.
00:56:41I second the motion.
00:56:42Richard is the logical choice.
00:57:11Charlotte, you should be resting.
00:57:13The board was just discussing taking some things off your plate.
00:57:17Easing my burden?
00:57:18By sitting in my chair?
00:57:21I am here.
00:57:23Now, who wants to vote for an interim chairman?
00:57:27Raise your hand.
00:57:29Charlotte, don't be arrogant.
00:57:30You have zero experience running a multi-billion dollar empire.
00:57:36My first decision as the new chairman is to terminate the Eastern Port Logistics Project.
00:57:41You can't do that.
00:57:43That's my project.
00:57:44I have invested 50 million into the port infrastructure.
00:57:50You invested 50 million into a shell company controlled by your mistress.
00:57:56The audit is complete.
00:58:09Stand back!
00:58:11Give her some space!
00:58:12Madam Chairman, is it true Sterling acquired Apex South District land for a fraction of the cost?
00:58:18Yes.
00:58:19We purchased the deed this morning.
00:58:21But the environmental report stated it was toxic.
00:58:25How will Sterling absorb a three billion dollar cleanup?
00:58:29There is no cleanup.
00:58:31The official city survey confirms zero contamination.
00:58:35Are you saying Apex Group went bankrupt over a fake report?
00:58:39Apex Group failed to conduct their own due diligence.
00:58:41They relied on stolen, un-i-verified data.
00:58:46We simply capitalized on their mistake.
00:58:49What about your ex-husband, Arthur?
00:58:51He is serving 15 years for that exact data theft.
00:58:54Did you plan this?
00:58:57I run a multi-billion dollar empire.
00:58:59I do not have time to plan for criminals.
00:59:16Pick up the phone, Arthur.
00:59:18The appeal.
00:59:20Did the judge set a date for the appeal hearing?
00:59:22The appellate court rejected the filing this morning.
00:59:25There will be no hearing.
00:59:26Rejected?
00:59:27Why?
00:59:27I have new evidence!
00:59:28Victor forced me!
00:59:30Victor signed a plea deal.
00:59:32He submitted 30 hours of recorded conversations between you two.
00:59:37You are clearly heard demanding a VP title and a million dollar bonus.
00:59:41It's a setup.
00:59:42Charlotte bought him off.
00:59:44She bought the judges!
00:59:46Stop it, Arthur.
00:59:48The firm is dropping your case.
00:59:49You have zero funds left.
00:59:53We cannot work pro bono.
00:59:55My uncle, Uncle Richard, he is on the board of Sterling.
00:59:58Go to him!
00:59:59He will pay your fees!
01:00:01Richard was arrested three days ago.
01:00:04Embezzlement and fraud.
01:00:05He is currently in the holding cell of this exact facility waiting for trial.
01:00:10Serve your 15 years quietly.
01:00:12Don't cause trouble for the guards.
01:00:16Careful!
01:00:17Sterling group has just included a historic press conference.
01:00:27Charlotte!
01:00:28That was mine!
01:00:30That was supposed to be mine!
01:00:32I am the CEO!
01:00:33Give it back!
01:00:36Inmate down on the floor!
01:00:37Now!
01:00:41Solitary confinement.
01:00:42Seven days.
01:00:49Hey, princess.
01:00:51Look what I found in the rec room.
01:00:52Please.
01:00:53I just need to finish my work quota.
01:00:55Charlotte Sterling, the billion dollar queen.
01:00:58She looks very pretty in this white suit.
01:01:02I heard you used to be her best friend.
01:01:04You lived in her mansion.
01:01:06You wore her clothes.
01:01:07Now she owns the city and you are hauling rotting cabbage.
01:01:11Give it to me!
01:01:12Let me see it!
01:01:13You want it?
01:01:14Go fetch!
01:01:27No.
01:01:29No.
01:01:33Madam Chairman, the Eastern Port project has been fully halted.
01:01:38We have secured the perimeter and locked down all assets.
01:01:42What about the contractors Uncle Richard hired?
01:01:45We sent termination notices this morning.
01:01:48Three of them are threatening to suit for breach of contract.
01:01:50Let them sue.
01:01:52Freeze their accounts through our banking partners and drag the litigation out for five years.
01:01:57Starve them until they drop the case.
01:02:00Understood.
01:02:01I will instruct the legal team immediately.
01:02:03The HR restricioning.
01:02:05Have you completed the list?
01:02:06Yes.
01:02:08Anyone hired or promoted directly by Arthur or Richard in the past 12 months?
01:02:13Terminate all of them by 5 p.m. today.
01:02:15Two weeks severance.
01:02:17Zero recommendations.
01:02:19Forty-five people, Madam Chairman, that might not have been involved in the embezzlement.
01:02:21I do not run a charity.
01:02:23If their foundation is rotten, I tear down the house.
01:02:25Any other objections?
01:02:27No, Madam Chairman.
01:02:28I will execute the orders.
01:02:35Madam Eleanor.
01:02:37You are dismissed.
01:02:39Get it done.
01:02:42You are cleaning house very thoroughly.
01:02:45The entire executive floor is terrified of you.
01:02:47Fear ensures compliance.
01:02:49They need to know the rules have changed.
01:02:52Just remember to balance the stick with the carrot.
01:02:54A king cannot rule by execution alone.
01:02:58I have the carrot, Mother.
01:03:00We just secured a 30% increase in quarterly profits.
01:03:03That is all the carrot they need.
01:03:19Move aside, cripple.
01:03:21That is my bin today.
01:03:25I got here first, Richard.
01:03:27There is half an apple in here.
01:03:30I said move!
01:03:31Ah!
01:03:32You ruined me.
01:03:33If you hadn't stolen that 50 million, Charlotte would have taken me back.
01:03:41You ruined yourself, you stupid boy.
01:03:44You married a queen and tried to treat her like a maid.
01:03:47Get up, inmate 402.
01:03:49No sleeping in the yard.
01:03:53What do you mean parole is denied?
01:03:55It has been three years.
01:03:56I have scrubbed the floors every single day!
01:03:59The parole board reviewed your case this morning.
01:04:01Sterling Group submitted a 60-page impact statement.
01:04:04Charlotte, she wrote a statement?
01:04:06Not her personally.
01:04:07Her legal team.
01:04:08They detailed the severe emotional and financial distress your actions caused.
01:04:12The board concluded you show zero remorse.
01:04:14Your next parole hearing is scheduled for five years from now.
01:04:16Five years!
01:04:17I will die!
01:04:18I am sorry!
01:04:18Tell her I will be her dog again!
01:04:20I will wear the suit!
01:04:21Just get me out!
01:04:22Madam Chairman does not take messages from inmates.
01:04:49Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third anniversary of the new Sterling era.
01:04:54Three years ago, we eliminated the rot within our foundation.
01:04:58We absorbed Apex Group.
01:04:59Today, I am announcing the finalization of a $50 billion acquisition.
01:05:04We have purchased the entire North American logistics network of Transglobal.
01:05:08The Sterling Group does not just participate in the market.
01:05:10We are the market.
01:05:13We are the market.
01:05:29The Transglobal integration is 80% complete.
01:05:33We are terminating three of their regional VPs tomorrow.
01:05:37Any resistance from the local unions?
01:05:39They threatened a strike.
01:05:41I offered them a 10% wage increase and fired the union leaders.
01:05:45The strike was canceled an hour ago.
01:05:47You handle them with absolute precision.
01:05:58Mia, stand up.
01:06:02A Sterling does not wait for someone to help her up.
01:06:09She is strong, just like you.
01:06:12She has to be.
01:06:13She will inherit the world.
01:06:16Madam Chairman!
01:06:17The European Kalolov is waiting for your final signature in Geneva!
01:06:21Tell them I am leaving now!
01:06:23If they try to change one single clause while I am in the air, I cancel the entire deal!
01:06:27Understood!
01:06:38The Empire is mine.
01:06:41The Empire is mine.
01:06:46The Empire is mine.
01:07:12Welcome to Geneva, Madam Chairman.
01:07:15I hope the turbulence over the Alps wasn't too severe.
01:07:18The weather does not bother me.
01:07:20Where is the final contract for the Trans-Global Acquisition?
01:07:30The contract is ready.
01:07:32We just made one minor adjustment to the Equity Distribution Clause.
01:07:42Section 4.
01:07:44You inserted a 20% holding stake for Apex Group's former sub-derriers.
01:07:4920%?!
01:07:51That was never discussed!
01:07:53Apex is bankrupt!
01:07:56Victor was my cousin.
01:07:59You destroyed his company in your little city.
01:08:02I am simply reclaiming the family's assets through your logistics network.
01:08:06I do not pay for my enemies' mistakes.
01:08:10The 20% clause is removed, or there is no deal.
01:08:19You are in Europe now, Miss Sterling.
01:08:23You do not make the rules here.
01:08:26Sign the paper.
01:08:39The deal is cancelled.
01:08:43Stop her!
01:08:46Are you taking me hostage, Alexander?
01:08:48I am delaying your departure.
01:08:51Without our logistics hubbers, your North American supply chain will suffocate in two weeks.
01:08:55I have 50 billion dollars in liquid cash.
01:08:57I will buy the land, build the hubs, and pave the roads myself.
01:09:01You underestimate the old money of Europe.
01:09:05And you underestimate me.
01:09:07Move.
01:09:12Open the doors.
01:09:13Let her pass.
01:09:21Mother.
01:09:22The Trans-Global deal is dead.
01:09:23Victor's cousin is running the consortium.
01:09:27He wanted 20% equity for Apex's remnants.
01:09:30I tore up the contract.
01:09:31Freeze every single transaction linked to European accounts.
01:09:35Pull our capital out of their markets.
01:09:38We prepare for a full-scale price war.
01:09:55Get the child!
01:09:57Get the child!
01:10:11Madam, do not touch it.
01:10:13The bomb squad is on the way.
01:10:15It is not a bomb.
01:10:18Alexander does not use explosives.
01:10:21He uses messages.
01:10:33They breached our perimeter surveillance.
01:10:35The photo was taken from the West Observation Tower.
01:10:41Fire the entire perimeter security team.
01:10:45Replace them with the tactical unit.
01:10:47Yes, madam.
01:10:50No one tells Charlotte about the photograph.
01:10:52Not until she is safely inside this house.
01:11:04Arthur.
01:11:06My name is Vance.
01:11:08I represent a European client who is very interested in your unique situation.
01:11:13I don't have any money left.
01:11:18My client does not want your money.
01:11:20He wants your cooperation.
01:11:25This is an order for immediate medical parole.
01:11:28Fully signed by a judge from my client sponsor.
01:11:30You walk out of here today.
01:11:32What does your client want me to do?
01:11:37He wants you to stand in front of the press tomorrow.
01:11:39And publicly testify that Charlotte Sterling bribed the city council to forge the environmental report on the South District land.
01:11:47But she didn't forge it.
01:11:49The land was clean.
01:11:50She just tricked Victor.
01:11:51The truth is irrelevant.
01:11:53My client needs Sterling Group stock to crash by 40% this week.
01:11:57A public scandal involving the chairman's ex-husband is the perfect catalyst.
01:12:03You sign the paper.
01:12:05You get the leg.
01:12:07You get your freedom.
01:12:08And you get your revenge on the woman who put you here.
01:12:32Where did this come from?
01:12:34A drone dropped it in the garden yesterday.
01:12:37Along with a photograph of Mia.
01:12:39They breached the perimeter.
01:12:43They photographed my daughter.
01:12:45The tactical team is now stationed inside the house.
01:12:48She is safe.
01:12:55Good morning, Miss Sterling.
01:12:57I trust my small gift found its way to your garden.
01:13:00If you ever send a drone within five miles of my daughter again,
01:13:03I will hire a PSCM to turn your Geneva resident to ash.
01:13:06You refused my terms.
01:13:08Now we play by my rules.
01:13:10By the time you finish this call,
01:13:12your ex-husband will be holding a press conference on the steps of the state courthouse.
01:13:16He is walking on a brand new titanium leg.
01:13:19You bribed a judge to release him.
01:13:21He has a very compelling story about how you forged environmental reports.
01:13:25The SEC is already preparing speed as Sterling's stock will drop 40% by noon.
01:13:31Checkmate, Charlotte.
01:13:35Call the chief of security.
01:13:37Lock down the headquarters.
01:13:39Tell the legal team to prepare a defamation sought against Alexander von Habsburg
01:13:43and get my helicopter ready.
01:13:46Where are you going?
01:13:49I am going to the courthouse.
01:13:51Arthur wants to talk to the press.
01:13:54Let him talk to me first.
