00:27:10cowards
00:27:11all of them
00:27:14what did he say
00:27:16Eleanor blocked everything
00:27:17we are blacklisted in the whole city
00:27:24madam
00:27:25the private investigators sent this
00:27:27is it the background check on the woman
00:27:30yes madam
00:27:31her full identity
00:27:32it's quite
00:27:33surprising
00:27:42well
00:27:44Arthur really outdid himself this time
00:27:49I'm hungry
00:27:50we 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
00:27:59I ate dog food
00:28:02you promised me millions
00:28:04and 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
00:28:17and 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
00:28:35the woman in the dog suit
00:28:46Sophie
00:28:47Sophie
00:28:48Sophie
00:28:50Sophie
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.
00:29:27Under my nose.
00:29:45Cry.
00:29:46Cry it all out.
00:29:50And then you never shed another tear for them.
00:30:04I am taking over the company.
00:30:06Today.
00:30:11Good.
00:30:16I want every single competitor in this city to know, if they hire Arthur, they declare war on the Sterling
00:30:26Group.
00:30:31David, it's Arthur.
00:30:33Listen, I need a job.
00:30:35Just a consulting role.
00:30:37Anything.
00:30:38Arthur?
00:30:39Are you crazy?
00:30:40Charlotte Sterling just issued a citywide blacklist on you.
00:30:44I know the industry.
00:30:46I have connections.
00:30:47You are radioactive.
00:30:49Anyone who hires you gets their supply chain cut by Sterling Group.
00:30:55Lose my number.
00:30:58Another one?
00:31:00That makes 20 calls.
00:31:02She 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, none 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, but she doesn't control Apex Group.
00:31:35Victor's company?
00:31:37They are Sterling's biggest rivals.
00:31:38They 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.
00:31:53We 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.
00:32:12Now.
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.
00:33:11I 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.
00:33:42If 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.
00:34:09I 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
00:34:22is 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
00:34:32with my ability to read a balance sheet.
00:34:34Arthur handled this portfolio for six months.
00:34:36The transition is messy.
00:34:38Arthur is gone.
00:34:40Any executive who brings his name up
00:34:42as 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.
00:34:59The IT department monitored
00:35:01a junior analyst copying
00:35:02the South District folder
00:35:03onto an external Hardy Drive
00:35:05at 3 a.m.
00:35:06Did you stop him?
00:35:08As you instructed.
00:35:09We let him walk out the front door
00:35:11with the drive.
00:35:11Good.
00:35:12Arthur thinks he is stealing
00:35:14our core strategy.
00:35:17Let Victor bid his entire cash reserve
00:35:19on a ghost project.
00:35:21I want them to burn together.
00:35:28I got it.
00:35:29The whole folder.
00:35:31They didn't even notice.
00:35:33Perfect.
00:35:34The money will be wired
00:35:35to your account tomorrow.
00:35:36Don't contact me again.
00:35:45Here is Sterling's final bid.
00:35:47$4.2 billion
00:35:48for the South District land.
00:35:50$4.2.
00:35:51That's aggressive.
00:35:52They are leveraging
00:35:52their entire quarterly cash flow.
00:35:54Eleanor is desperate to win this.
00:35:56She wants absolute control
00:35:57of the district.
00:35:58If we bid $4.3,
00:35:59we win the land.
00:36:00But we empty our reserves.
00:36:02But look at the zoning permits
00:36:03in the subfolder.
00:36:04Once the land is ours,
00:36:06the city will rezone it
00:36:07for 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.
00:36:28Prepare the bid for $4.3 billion.
00:36:30Liquidate the short-term bonds
00:36:32to cover the margin.
00:36:38Good 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
00:36:55is still a dog.
00:36:57Sit down, Sophie.
00:37:02We will now open the final blind wets
00:37:04for the South District Development Project.
00:37:09Apex Group.
00:37:11Bit amount $4.3 billion.
00:37:14$4.3 billion.
00:37:23Sterling Group.
00:37:25Bit amount $1.2 billion.
00:37:30$4.5 million.
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,
00:37:42the City Council has attached
00:37:43a new environmental clause
00:37:44to this land.
00:37:45What clause?
00:37:46This was a commercial zoning project.
00:37:48The soil survey released this morning
00:37:49revealed 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!
00:38:44Then 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.
00:39:13I didn't steal anything!
00:39:16The bid data was brought to me!
00:39:18I am a victim!
00:39:19Officers, 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
00:39:27and put your hands behind 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.
00:40:05Damn him.
00:40:07Damn Charlotte.
00:40:09They gave our names
00:40:11to the police!
00:40:12We are going to jail!
00:40:14We 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?
00:40:42$2,000.
00:40:43Enough for fake IDs
00:40:43and 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
00:40:59fake ultrasound 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 an excuse
00:41:11to get back into 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 like rats!
00:41:26You ruined everything!
00:41:27If you hadn't provoked 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.
00:41:54You stay here and rot.
00:42:19Thief!
00:42:23Give it to me!
00:42:25Give 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!
00:42:42Die!
00:42:48My money!
00:42:49My money!
00:42:58My money!
00:43:12No! No!
00:43:17Police! Get down on the ground!
00:43:19Show me your hands!
00:43:29Arthur, Sophia, you are under arrest for corporate espionage, grand thief, and extortion.
00:43:37You have the right to remain silent.
00:43:44It's on the morning news. They were arrested in a basement in the slums.
00:43:50Tell the legal team. Make sure the prosecution pushes for the maximum sentence. No bail. Ever.
00:43:59It's over, Charlotte. You won. The empire is secure.
00:44:05No, mother. This is just the beginning.
00:44:13Victor 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.
00:44:45Charlotte 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 board.
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.
00:45:14And 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!
00:45:42Eleanor 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.
00:46:17I find the defendants guilty on all counts.
00:46:23Arthur, 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.
00:46:3710 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!
00:46:58My 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!
00:47:10You ruined me!
00:47:11You 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 absorbed 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!
00:48:14I'm going into labor!
00:48:21Charlotte? Are you alright?
00:48:24It's time. The water broke.
00:48:29Agh!
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. I want the best anesthesiologist! Keep her safe!
00:48:48Absolutely, madam.
00:49:08The contraction is peaking right now, Miss Charlotte.
00:49:11I 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 and push down.
00:49:23Heart rate is elevating.
00:49:25Blood pressure is 140 over 90.
00:49:27Three, two, one, push.
00:49:35It's not enough.
00:49:36The baby is crowning, but the progress stopped.
00:49:41She is exhausted, doctor.
00:49:43Fetal heart rate is dropping.
00:49:44It'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.
00:49:53Do 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.
00:50:40Okay.
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.
00:51:08Now you have a lot more spots to clean.
00:51:11Start over.
00:51:12Or no dinner.
00:51:18The 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.
00:51:42I will take the chairman's seat.
00:51:45And I will throw Richard out of the building.
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 Sterling 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.
00:52:04But 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.
00:53:38Eat 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.
00:55:59Now, 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.
00:56:40I second the motion.
00:56:42Richard is the logical choice.
00:57:10Charlotte, 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.
00:57:35My 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.
00:58:24How 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.
00:58:42They relied on stolen, un-I verified data.
00:58:46We simply capitalized on their mistake.
00:58:48What 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.
00:59:00I do not have time to plan for criminals.
00:59:15Pick up the phone, Arthur.
00:59:18The appeal.
00:59:19Did 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!
00:59:29Victor 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 them off.
00:59:44She bought the judges!
00:59:46Stop it, Arthur.
00:59:48The firm is dropping your case.
00:59:50You have zero funds left.
00:59:53We cannot work pro bono.
00:59:55My uncle, Uncle Richard!
00:59:56He 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.
01:00:09Now, serve your 15 years quietly.
01:00:12Don't cause trouble for the guards.
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!
01:00:35Inmate down on the floor!
01:00:37Now!
01:00:41Solitary confinement, seven 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.
01:01:05You wore her clothes.
01:01:07Now she owns the city.
01:01:08And you are hauling rotting cabbage.
01:01:10Give it to me.
01:01:11Let me see it.
01:01:13You want it?
01:01:14Go fetch!
01:01:27No.
01:01:29No.
01:01:31No.
01:01:33Madam Chairman, the Eastern Port project has been fully halted.
01:01:37We 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.
01:02:00I will instruct the legal team immediately.
01:02:03The HR restranctioning.
01:02:05Have you completed the list?
01:02:06Yes.
01:02:07Anyone 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.
01:02:26Any other objections?
01:02:27No, Madam Chairman.
01:02:28I will execute the orders.
01:02:34Madam 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.
01:02:51Just 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.
01:03:29I said move!
01:03:32You ruined me.
01:03:33If you hadn't stolen that 50 million,
01:03:36Charlotte 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.
01:04:13Your next parole hearing is scheduled for five years from now.
01:04:16Five years!
01:04:17I will die!
01:04:17I 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.
01:04:29Ah!
01:04:30Ah!
01:04:31Ah!
01:04:31Ah!
01:04:33Ah!
01:04:33Ah!
01:04:33Ah!
01:04:33Ah!
01:04:34Ah!
01:04:34Ah!
01:04:35Ah!
01:04:35Ah!
01:04:38Ah!
01:04:44Ah!
01:04:44Ah!
01:04:45Ah!
01:04:49Ladies and gentlemen,
01:04:51welcome to the third anniversary of the new Sterling era.
01:04:54Three years ago, we eliminated the rot within our foundation.
01:04:57We absorbed Apex Group.
01:04:59Today, I am announcing the finalization of a $50 billion acquisition.
01:05:03We have purchased the entire North American logistics network of TransGlobal.
01:05:07The Sterling Group does not just participate in the market.
01:05:10We are the market.
01:05:12Ah!
01:05:28The TransGlobal integration is 80% complete.
01:05:32We are terminating three of their regional VPs tomorrow.
01:05:36Any 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.
01:05:57Mia?
01:05:59Stand up.
01:06:02A Sterling does not wait for someone to help her up.
01:06:09She is strong.
01:06:11She has to be.
01:06:13She will inherit the world.
01:06:16Madam Chairman, the 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.
01:06:47The Empire is mine.
01:06:48The 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 transglobal 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.
01:07:58You destroyed his company in your little city.
01:08:01I am simply reclaiming the family's assets through your logistics network.
01:08:07I 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?
01:08:49I 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.
01:09:24Victor'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!
01:10:11Madam, 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.
01:11:07My name is Vance.
01:11:08I represent a European client who is very interested in your unique situation.
01:11:12I 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's 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.
01:11:51Sir.
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, I will hire a PSCM to turn
01:13:05your Geneva resident to ash.
01:13:07You refused my terms.
01:13:08Now we play by my rules.
01:13:10By the time you finish this call, your ex-husband will be holding a press conference on the steps of
01:13:15the state courthouse.
01:13:16He is walking on a brand new titanium leg.
01:13:18You 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 subpoenas.
01:13:28Sterling stock dropped 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 and 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.
01:13:55Let him talk to the press.
01:13:57How about you.
