00:01:51what what oh my god a Samoyan did you get it for me wait no does she have a
00:02:02Do you know it? But haven't you been terrified of dogs since you were little? Why the sudden change?
00:02:09Well, the doctor said a therapy dog could do wonders for your prenatal anxiety.
00:02:13For you and the baby, I can overcome a little fear.
00:02:15Oh, yes, I almost forgot. The doctor said the baby's heartbeat is incredibly strong.
00:02:20That's amazing, babe. So happy for us.
00:02:24So this is your little game, you stupid bitch.
00:02:28If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be suffocating in this damn suit.
00:02:36No!
00:02:47What?
00:02:48What the hell is this thing doing in my house?
00:02:50Eleanor, wait. It's a misunderstanding. She's just excited.
00:02:54Excited? It just tried to attack a pregnant woman. Get this mutt out. Now!
00:02:58No, we can't. She's a highly trained therapy dog. Very expensive. I bought her to help Charlotte relax.
00:03:03Therapy dog? Looks completely feral to me.
00:03:07Mom, Arthur meant well. Maybe she's just not used to the environment yet.
00:03:11Fine. She stays.
00:03:12But an untrained dog is a liability. I'm taking over her training, personally. And it will be extremely strict.
00:03:22Let's see how long you can keep wearing this pathetic skin.
00:03:25I will make you wish you were dead.
00:03:29Eleanor, the sun is too strong today. She's panting hard. Let her rest inside for a bit. The vet said
00:03:35she needs hydration.
00:03:36The vet. Did the vet teach her to attack my pregnant daughter?
00:03:41It was an accident. She just wasn't used to the environment.
00:03:44A dog without discipline doesn't deserve rest.
00:03:47But Charlotte loves her. If she gets sick...
00:03:49Keep your mouth shut, Arthur. Or you'll join her on the grass.
00:03:53She's not joking. If I push harder, she'll turn on me next.
00:03:59A fire ring? Eleanor, this is insane!
00:04:01Circus dogs do it all the time. She needs to learn obedience.
00:04:06Jump. Now.
00:04:08No. No. I can't. I'll burn to death in this suit.
00:04:15No!
00:04:17Jump! Quickly! Now!
00:04:20No! No!
00:04:22No!
00:04:23No!
00:04:30The zipper. If she sees that, we are both dead.
00:04:36It's okay! I've got you! Don't be scared!
00:04:39Pathetic. Starting tomorrow, your diet will match your species.
00:04:49Eat.
00:04:50No. No. No.
00:04:52Eleanor, look at those flies. She can't eat that.
00:04:56Purebreds eat raw meat. It's their nature.
00:04:59But she is used to premium kibble. This will cause a severe infection.
00:05:02Are you questioning my training methods, Arthur?
00:05:05No. Of course not. I just care about her health.
00:05:07You seem to care more about a stray dog than your pregnant wife.
00:05:11She's getting suspicious. I need to back off right now.
00:05:15I said eat. Hands off the ground.
00:05:18He won't help me. He's just standing there watching me eat garbage.
00:05:23Every single bite.
00:05:32I have to reach Sophie tonight. Before Eleanor does something as versatile.
00:05:41I can't do this anymore. I'm dying in here.
00:05:44Just hold on a little longer. We are so close.
00:05:46Hold on? She fed me raw liver today. I threw up inside the suit.
00:05:51I tried to stop her. You saw me.
00:05:53You did nothing. You just stood there like a coward.
00:05:56We have to end this now. We kill Charlotte.
00:05:59Kill Charlotte? Have you lost your mind?
00:06:01Push her down the stairs. Two birds, one stump.
00:06:06It's an accident.
00:06:07Then we get rid of Eleanor and take the company.
00:06:12If Eleanor finds out the truth, I lose everything anyway.
00:06:17Okay. We do it.
00:06:19Push her down the stairs. Two birds, one stone.
00:06:22They actually want to touch my daughter.
00:06:25Bring the dogs tomorrow. The large ones.
00:06:28And bring the strongest pheromone spray you have.
00:06:38What is in that truck? Those aren't normal dogs.
00:06:41I brought you some new friends to play with today.
00:06:50No! Eleanor, you can't do this!
00:06:52Why not? It's just a training exercise.
00:06:55She's not ready to breed!
00:06:57The hounds will tear her apart!
00:06:59Arthur is here.
00:07:00I'm saved.
00:07:03She's in heat. It's nature.
00:07:05This is illegal! I won't let you do this!
00:07:11Let me go! Please!
00:07:27Have fun, baby.
00:07:29No! Don't do this!
00:07:31Go!
00:07:33No! Somebody help me!
00:07:53Get away from her!
00:07:58Go away!
00:08:12Call them off.
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...
00:08:31I panicked.
00:08:33They were gonna kill it.
00:08:38It's your therapy dog, Char.
00:08:40I...
00:08:41I 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.
00:08:55The offshore account.
00:08:57Three hundred thousand dollars missing.
00:09:00Care to explain?
00:09:02I took it.
00:09:03I used the money to buy the dog.
00:09:06Half a million for a pet.
00:09:07You must love it very much.
00:09:09It's a purebred.
00:09:13Fine.
00:09:15The truth is, I was lonely, Eleanor.
00:09:18You 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.
00:10:27Move!
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!
00:10:52If you stop, we add more bricks.
00:10:54That old hag is really crazy!
00:10:58Keep 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.
00:11:25I 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 ginn 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?
00:11:47Are 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.
00:13:13Eleanor.
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.
00:14:25Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:14:33Where are the maids?
00:14:35The security?
00:14:36Eleanor gave the inside faff a week off.
00:14:39Security is strictly kept outside the perimeter.
00:14:42We 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.
00:15:19I hated that concrete floor.
00:15:21You are safe now.
00:15:23Not until we have the money.
00:15:26Did you find her signature stamps?
00:15:28In her safe.
00:15:29I have the combination.
00:15:31Do it tomorrow.
00:15:32Transfer the core funds to your offshore accounts.
00:15:35Yes, I will.
00:15:37I 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.
00:16:09Eleanor loses her controlling share.
00:16:11And we buy them out for pennies.
00:16:15I want to see Eleanor's face when she realizes she is broke.
00:16:20You will.
00:16:21Well, I'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.
00:16:53Mom, you 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.
00:17:23I won't cry.
00:17:23These are the authorization papers for the new offshore investment project.
00:17:30Thirty million dollars?
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.
00:17:40But 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?
00:17:59Charlotte is on medical leave.
00:18:02And Eleanor has handed over all operations to me.
00:18:05Sign the papers.
00:18:06Or 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?
00:18:56It's a holding strategy.
00:18:57To avoid tax.
00:18:58I was going to report it to the board tomorrow.
00:19:00Get 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.
00:19:15Eleanor, it was a misunderstanding.
00:19:18I was only trying to protect the family assets.
00:19:20We will see about that.
00:19:23Tomorrow night, I am hosting a grand charity banquet.
00:19:26The 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 and to show the world how united our family is.
00:19:38You will attend.
00:19:40And you will bring that loyal Sam Mayan 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.
00:19:55If 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.
00:20:06Put 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!
00:20:18She 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, and 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.
00:21:19Arthur, bring 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 than ever.
00:22:27But tonight, I want to take a special moment.
00:22:33I want to especially 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.
00:22:50Let me show you all his dedication.
00:23:02What is that?
00:23:05Is that Charlotte's best friend?
00:23:08Sophie?
00:23:14Charlotte is just a stupid incubator.
00:23:17I never loved her.
00:23:18Oh!
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!
00:23:31Is 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!
00:23:49Close it!
00:23:51Close it!
00:24:04Stop that dog.
00:24:06Strip the skin off her.
00:24:18Don't look at me!
00:24:21Don't look at me!
00:24:22Madam Eleanor, please, forgive me!
00:24:29Please, remember love.
00:24:32I am the father of your child!
00:24:37You two make a perfect match.
00:24:41Charlotte, please.
00:24:44Throw the garbage out.
00:25:03Arthur, is 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!
00:25:14Who is this woman?
00:25:14Why is she in her underwear?
00:25:16Ah!
00:25:17I'm taking pictures!
00:25:18Make them stop!
00:25:20No!
00:25:22No!
00:25:22No!
00:25:24No!
00:25:25No!
00:25:27No!
00:25:28No!
00:25:29No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:34No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:38No!
00:25:39I have my emergency credit cards in my inner pocket.
00:25:42We find an ATM.
00:25:44We get cash.
00:25:45And we check into hotel.
00:25:57She froze them.
00:25:59She froze everything.
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.
00:26:08It'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.
00:26:59And 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 Elinor issued an announcement.
00:27:06Anyone who contacts you will be fired immediately.
00:27:10Cowards!
00:27:11All of them!
00:27:14What did he say?
00:27:16Elinor blocked everything.
00:27:18We are blacklisted in the whole city.
00:27:24Madam, the 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.
00:27:43Well, 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!
00:27:59I 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.
00:28:35The woman in the dog suit.
00:28:46Sofie?
00:28:49Sofie?
00:29:09she was my best friend

00:31:43and I know every single detail

00:32:30you looked very
00:32:32submissive on the floor
00:32:35a temporary setback
00:32:37Eleanor played a cheap trick
00:32:40a cheap trick
00:32:41that stripped you
00:32:42of all your power
00:32:44why should I talk to a beggar?
00:32:46because the beggar
00:32:47has the key
00:32:47to the South District project
00:32:51Eleanor has been blocking
00:32:52my bids there
00:32:53for three years
00:32:54I drafted the core financial model
00:32:56for 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
00:33:05to their servers anymore
00:33:07I don't need access
00:33:09I planted an insider
00:33:10before 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 dollar project
00:33:21and what do you want in return?
00:33:23a vice president title
00:33:25in Apex
00:33:25a million dollar signing bonus
00:33:27and the satisfaction
00:33:29of seeing Eleanor bankrupt
00:33:33ambitious for a man
00:33:35who smells like a dumpster
00:33:37get them some clean clothes
00:33:39and a hotel room
00:33:40bring me the hard drive

00:34:17with all due respect
00:34:18the South District bid
00:34:19is in two days
00:34:20changing the project lead now
00:34:22is highly risky
00:34:23perhaps Madam Elena
00:34:24should step in
00:34:25you are expecting
00:34:27stress is not good
00:34:28for the baby
00:34:30my pregnancy
00:34:31has nothing to do
00:34:32with my ability
00:34:33to read a balance sheet
00:34:34Arthur handled this portfolio
00:34:35for six months
00:34:36the transition is messy
00:34:38Arthur is gone
00:34:40any executive
00:34:41who brings his name up
00:34:42as an excuse for incompetence
00:34:44will join him on the street

00:34:59the IT department monitored

00:35:10the 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
00:35:19cash reserve
00:35:19on a ghost project
00:35:21I want them to burn
00:35:23together
00:35:28I got it
00:35:29the whole folder

00:35:464.2 billion dollars
00:35:48for the South District land
00:35:504.2
00:35:51that's aggressive
00:35:52they are leveraging
00:35:52their entire quarterly cash flow
00:35:54Eleanor is desperate
00:35:55to 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
00:36:10in 6 months
00:36:10Apex will crush Sterling
00:36:12completely
00:36:15it's a massive risk sir
00:36:17the margin for error
00:36:18is zero
00:36:20no risk
00:36:21no empire
00:36:22Eleanor has blocked me
00:36:23long enough

00:36:27prepare the bid
00:36:29for 4.3 billion
