00:00Everything we had, our savings, our family's home.

00:08Help. Please.

00:11Here.

00:15One night, one million. No questions.

00:18You'll do what I say every second.

00:21I lost everything. Our house, the savings.

00:24No, John. I'm not going through with this.

00:26If you're going through with this, you'll lose me for good.

00:30I'd like you to meet my fiancé.

00:32To be alive and to love.

00:36What did you want?

00:39I want revenge.

00:42This is Olivia. She's a master chef.

00:45Thought she might bring a little spice to her house.

00:49Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.

00:51I already have so much more than you ever could.

00:54You know what? It's delicious, Mario.

00:57One day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.

01:01You dare touch me?

01:02John!

01:03John!

01:04My son?

01:05You're my son.

01:06You're my son.

01:07I'm so sorry.

01:08I'm so sorry.

01:09I'm so sorry.

01:10You're my son.

01:12Help.

01:13Please.

01:14Here.

01:15Help.

01:16Please.

01:17Here.

01:18Please.

01:19Help. Please.

01:31Here.

01:46Olivia.

01:49Please hear me out.

01:50Whoever you are, your girlfriend's safe.

01:53Passed out on my couch, but safe.

01:56Wait. Who? Who is this?

02:00Where's Olivia?

02:01I'll send you the address.

02:03Be here soon, or don't come at all.

02:12Olivia, I thought I could fix it before you found out.

02:15Everything we had.

02:16Our savings, our family's home.

02:21How could you risk it all in a single investment?

02:24I thought it was our shot.

02:27Chance to finally make something of myself.

02:29Sounds like you two are in a difficult spot.

02:33I'm willing to help for a price.

02:40Spend one night with me.

02:41And I'll give you $1 million.

02:48You want him to spend the night with you for money?

02:59It's just a business arrangement.

03:01One night, $1 million.

03:03And, uh, what exactly do you expect from me?

03:08Just one night together.

03:10You get what you need, and I get what I want.

03:13You really think we would sell ourselves for this?

03:16Look, I've got things to arrange for tonight.

03:18I'll leave you two to think it over.

03:21You can't expect us to just wait here.

03:23We're leaving now.

03:24When I got here, $100,000.

03:28Just to stay here and think about it.

03:30Dad, I've given my life to this family.

03:49To this company.

03:51No one's more prepared to lead it than me.

03:54You don't lead people.

03:55You control them.

03:57And that's why people respect me.

03:58That's not respect.

04:00It's fear.

04:02Look around you.

04:03You're alone.

04:05No partner.

04:06No friends.

04:08If you can't build a family, how can you run our family business?

04:24Good evening, Maria.

04:26Everything all right?

04:28More than all right.

04:30Actually, I wanted to talk to you both about someone.

04:36I'd like you to meet my fiancée.

04:44A fiancée?

04:46I can't believe you didn't tell us sooner.

04:49Who is he?

04:49He's someone special.

04:51He's someone special.

04:52I thought it was time you met him.

04:54Why didn't you arrange a proper introduction?

04:56What's the sudden rush?

04:58Timing just felt right.

04:59Look, he'll be here soon.

05:01Hey, fiancée, when do you start planning this little fairy tale?

05:14I don't have time for you.

05:15I don't have time for you.

05:16I don't have time for you.

05:16Just watch and learn.

05:17John, do you think this is the way to fix things?

05:26Selling yourself to that woman?

05:28I'm just trying to make up for the mess I made, Olivia.

05:32Unless it's just one night, and then we can start over.

05:35You don't get it, do you?

05:38One night isn't going to fix things.

05:40She's not giving you a second chance.

05:43She's taking you away from me.

05:46What choice do I have, Olivia?

05:48I lost everything.

05:50Our house.

05:52The savings.

05:53No, John.

05:54I'm not going through with this.

05:57If you go through with this,

05:59you'll lose me for good.

06:04We're out of time.

06:05She's here.

06:07Let her in.

06:09I'll show her exactly what I think of her offer.

06:20So John is your latest hero, huh?

06:23Perfect timing to charm Dad.

06:26Right before the board meeting.

06:27Clever move, Maria.

06:29What, is it a crime to have someone in my life?

06:31I find it amusing.

06:33Do you think that's enough to make Dad believe

06:34you're ready to run the company?

06:40What's going on here?

06:44Just talking about the future.

06:45Yeah.

06:46Exciting family plans.

06:47You're going to love it.

06:48Hmm.

06:49Maria?

07:02Well, you're definitely not Maria.

07:05Who are you?

07:07Well, this is my house.

07:11Shouldn't you be the ones explaining yourselves?

07:14A woman brought us here.

07:15Isn't this her place?

07:17Yeah.

07:17That sounds like Maria.

07:20Might be her place, yes.

07:22But it's my house now.

07:24She, uh, she made us this crazy offer.

07:27We're just waiting for her to come back.

07:28But who is she?

07:29What kind of person does this?

07:31Maria's the type who always gets what she wants.

07:34Once she got her eye on something.

07:36Or someone.

07:37She won't let anything stand in her way.

07:42So this is just a game to her.

07:44It's not a game.

07:45It's how she keeps control.

07:47Once you're in,

07:49you're playing by her rules.

07:51So if you're smart,

07:53you'll walk away before

07:55she decides you belong to her.

07:57So,

08:08what game are we playing tonight, darling?

08:10Relax.

08:11I've got it all under control.

08:17Time's up.

08:19What's your answer?

08:20Stay away from us.

08:22We're not interested in whatever you're offering.

08:25Oh my god.

08:26Look at you.

08:27Acting like you've got a say in this.

08:30If you're out of your league here,

08:31this isn't some street hustle.

08:33Money can't bite everything, you know?

08:36John's staying here with me.

08:37Careful.

08:38You don't have the power to touch me.

08:41In my world,

08:42you're nothing.

08:44Is it really

08:45one million dollars?

08:49One night?

08:51One million.

08:52No questions.

08:54You'll do what I say

08:55every second.

08:57Undress.

09:02Now.

09:06Put this on.

09:07You really think this

09:22proves something?

09:24Throwing your money around

09:25so that people will obey you?

09:27It proves I get what I want.

09:31He's not your toy.

09:32And this is desperation.

09:35Not power.

09:37Desperation?

09:38That's the language of losers.

09:43Gone.

09:45Let's finish this show.

09:54Perfect.

09:55Now follow me.

09:56Here.

09:59Do you remember everything I told you?

10:08Yes.

10:08Okay, good.

10:09We need to convince my family

10:11that we've been in love

10:12for months

10:13and are ready to marry.

10:15Okay, only then

10:16you'll be off the hook.

10:18I think I can handle it.

10:19No, you don't need to think.

10:21You need to know.

10:22The answers need to come naturally.

10:24Like we've been in love

10:25for months.

10:27Okay?

10:31And one more thing.

10:33If you slip up

10:34and they see through you,

10:36it's game over.

10:38You know what that means?

10:44That means you,

10:46Olivia,

10:48anything you care about

10:49is gone.

10:52There won't be a second chance.

10:55Understand?

10:58Good.

11:02So,

11:04Johnny,

11:05are you in finance?

11:06Mostly investments

11:08look for opportunities.

11:10I see.

11:12The Western family,

11:13quite the opportunity,

11:14wouldn't you say?

11:16Not,

11:16not everything's business, Duke.

11:19Some things are worth

11:20more than money.

11:21Well,

11:22it's rare to

11:23find somebody

11:24who understands

11:25that not everything

11:26has a price.

11:28Thank you, Grace.

11:29And dinner,

11:30it's been incredible.

11:31Oh, don't be too impressed.

11:34It's ordered in.

11:35Nothing special tonight.

11:36So,

11:38tell us,

11:39when's the big day?

11:40Soon.

11:42We didn't see the need to wear.

11:44It's a commitment.

11:45Hope you're ready

11:46for everything

11:46that comes with it, John.

11:49Hmm.

11:50Good.

11:51Just remember,

11:52even love

11:53comes with a price

11:54in this family.

11:57Hmm.

11:58Gonna grab some fresh air.

12:01And no,

12:01I'm not quitting.

12:04Maybe I should

12:05get going too.

12:06It's getting late.

12:07Oh, no, no, no, no.

12:08John's, John's staying.

12:10Isn't that right?

12:11Yes, please,

12:11there, stay.

12:12You're practically

12:13family now.

12:14No.

12:15How about a real drink,

12:17John?

12:17Let's even keep up.

12:19Hmm?

12:19Don't think we

12:20can't come with you.

12:21What is this?

12:24Why am I still here?

12:26Because they're not

12:26convinced yet.

12:28Especially Duke.

12:30Tonight,

12:30we make sure

12:31they believe

12:31every word of it.

12:34And that means

12:34showing them

12:37just

12:37how much

12:39we're in love.

12:41This is your family,

12:42Marie.

12:43You want them to think

12:43we're having some...

12:44John!

12:45Your best is in the car.

12:47Olivia, is it?

12:49Seems she's like

12:50really eager to reach you.

12:55Duke, just that.

12:56Give me the phone.

12:57Oh, come on, John.

12:58Let's not keep her waiting.

13:00John.

13:01John, please.

13:02Don't let her do this to you.

13:03Don't trust her.

13:05Are you with Laura right now?

13:09Yes.

13:10Yes, I am.

13:11Well, the two of you

13:12are still holding on

13:13to the past.

13:15John and I,

13:17we've moved on.

13:18Maybe it's time

13:19we both did the same.

13:21This isn't over.

13:22You won't just push me

13:23out of his life.

13:24I know exactly

13:25what you're doing.

13:27I think it is over.

13:29Look, John and I,

13:30we've chosen each other.

13:33Olivia,

13:34I've made my choice.

13:37Marie and I,

13:38getting married.

13:39Sometimes,

13:53I think everything is

13:54how we finally see

13:55what's left to hold on to.

13:57And what exactly

13:58do I have left?

14:00Homeless,

14:01alone,

14:02broke.

14:04I don't even have a place

14:05to stay tonight.

14:06Tonight, you stay here.

14:07Get some rest.

14:09And tomorrow,

14:11start fresh.

14:12Start fresh?

14:14Do what?

14:14I have nothing left.

14:17Forget then.

14:19Think about yourself, Olivia.

14:21What do you want?

14:24I want revenge.

14:27Then start simple.

14:30Shower and clean up.

14:32Look like you're ready

14:33for a fight.

14:33Why are you helping me?

14:37Because I know exactly

14:38what it feels like

14:39to lose everything

14:41to Maria.

14:46At the call.

14:48Seems like she's

14:49not over you, buddy.

14:51Oh, Duke.

14:52Everyone has a past.

14:54But when you know

14:55what you want,

14:56it's easier to leave

14:57them behind.

14:58Right?

14:59Well, speaking of the past,

15:00wasn't Laurie your shrink?

15:01Father might find it

15:03interesting that

15:04his future CEO

15:05still needs

15:06professional support.

15:08Support?

15:08Maria?

15:10Are you still

15:10seeing your therapist?

15:12I thought you were

15:13ready to lead,

15:14not lean.

15:17Maria,

15:17if you're going to lead,

15:19understanding your emotions,

15:21your condition,

15:22is crucial.

15:23Without it,

15:24real connection

15:24is impossible.

15:26I don't need connection.

15:29I need control.

15:30Leadership isn't just

15:32about control.

15:34It's about empathy,

15:35trust,

15:37knowing when to rely

15:37on others.

15:39Relying on others

15:40makes you weak.

15:42And I won't be weak.

15:45Don't worry, Father.

15:47I'm not weak.

15:49I'm in control.

15:51Always.

15:52All right.

15:59It's been a long night.

16:00I'm going to show

16:01John to my room.

16:03Thank you for both

16:04having me.

16:05It's been a pleasure.

16:06John,

16:07you expect great things.

16:10Welcome to the family,

16:11John.

16:12Rest well.

16:14Come on.

16:14Samo,

16:21keep watching.

16:24You'll stay here tonight.

16:26I want you close,

16:27okay?

16:27Okay.

16:27He's listening.

16:49You need to keep this up,

16:50okay?

16:50Okay.

16:51Are you okay?

17:06Oh, yeah.

17:07Yeah, John.

17:09Wow.

17:10John!

17:18Oh, my God.

17:21Oh, my God.

17:21I'm right there.

17:22Yes, John!

17:24Have you never had sex before?

17:26Oh, my God.

17:29Yeah, John.

17:30That's so good.

17:31Oh, yeah.

17:32Oh, yeah.

17:32Yeah.

17:33Yeah, that's good.

17:34Oh, my God.

17:35Oh, my God.

17:36Oh, my God.

17:37Oh, my God.

17:39Yes.

17:40Oh, my God.

17:42Oh, my God.

17:46Oh.

17:48Can I ask you something?

17:58Depends. Will it bore me?

18:00You're stunning, rich, confident.

18:05You could have anyone you wanted.

18:08Why would you pay me to act like your lover?

18:12Because feelings, they come with expectations.

18:16If someone thinks you care, they expect more.

18:22But if you own someone, like I own you, it's easy.

18:28I say goodbye and it's done.

18:31Are you catching feelings for me?

18:37I hope not, John.

18:39That'd be disappointing.

18:46Make yourself comfortable, John.

18:50I'm not too comfortable, John.

19:17We're not done yet.

19:18Tomorrow's the board meeting.

19:21Father's announcing his retirement, and if all goes well, I'll be the one he names to lead.

19:27You said this was for just one night.

19:30I have you until sunset tomorrow.

19:32I have.

19:45I have.

20:17Hey, sis. Just thought you'd like to know. Father's not feeling that good today. Might have been that dinner last night. Meeting is postponed.

20:47You really know how to spoil a good moment.

21:17Oh, this isn't a game, Duke. I've seen what you've done. Reckless spending, scandals. You're dragging this company down.

21:24Now, you have a choice. You either step down quietly or I bring these to Edward.

21:30We both know what he'll do when he sees this mess.

21:34What? Crown you his successor? He'd rather give this place to the janitor than to trust either of us.

21:40The janitor, yeah. Well, at least I'm trying to save what's left of this family.

21:45You don't care about this company, Duke. All you care about is the title, the image. Nothing real.

21:51Spare me the lecture, Maria. You don't want to save anything. You just want control.

21:56You know what? If you want to drag yourself down, go ahead.

22:01But I'm not going to be there to rescue you.

22:06I'll keep that in mind, dear sister.

22:08I heard you postpone the meeting. Is everything all right?

22:17Nothing serious. Just a headache.

22:21I'm not feeling my best today.

22:22That's exactly why it's time to move forward.

22:25Let me take this off your shoulders.

22:27You know there's no one better fit to run the family business.

22:30Maybe.

22:31But let's have this chat another day.

22:35Father, look at me. Look at me.

22:39I'm ready. I'm finally ready.

22:41I'm getting married. I'm starting my own family.

22:45I know my responsibilities now.

22:47Can you at least leave Dad alone today?

22:50I told you, no meetings.

22:52Dad's feeling better now.

22:54He just needs a day of rest before he's ready to announce his decision.

22:58Right, Dad?

23:00I'm fine.

23:01I'm fine.

23:02I'm fine.

23:03I'm fine.

23:04I'm fine.

23:05I'm fine.

23:06I'm fine.

23:07I'm fine.

23:08I'm fine.

23:09I'm fine.

23:10I'm fine.

23:11I'm fine.

23:12I'm fine.

23:13I'm fine.

23:14I'm fine.

23:15I'm fine.

23:16I'm fine.

23:17I'm fine.

23:18I'm fine.

23:19I'm fine.

23:20I'm fine.

23:21I'm fine.

23:22I'm fine.

23:23I'm fine.

23:24I'm fine.

23:25I'm fine.

23:26I'm fine.

23:27I'm fine.

23:28I'm fine.

23:29I'm fine.

23:30Olivia, you don't know me, but we've got to talk.

23:47Sign it.

23:48An NDA, what's this for?

23:58You want your money, don't you?

24:00Then sign it.

24:08Done.

24:09So am I free to go now?

24:10Free.

24:12Oh no, you're not free, John.

24:13We had a deal, remember?

24:15That deal was for one night, Maria.

24:18One night.

24:20Yeah, it was one night.

24:23But you weren't exactly convincing yesterday.

24:25Not enough for them to believe we're the perfect couple.

24:28You're not going anywhere, John.

24:30Not until you convince everyone that we are in love.

24:35And by the time we're done, even you might believe it.

24:47Now I understand John's poor judgment.

24:50Only a fool will leave you behind.

24:54And who exactly are you?

24:56I believe you met my sister, Maria.

24:59I'm Duke.

25:00Then listen carefully.

25:01I'm going to destroy John and her.

25:05So if you're here to get in my way...

25:06I wouldn't dream of it.

25:08As a matter of fact, I plan to enjoy every second.

25:11And why would you want to tear down your own sister?

25:13And how exactly are we going to do that?

25:17You see, Maria believes she owns everyone.

25:21Even her own family.

25:23But without that control, she's got nothing.

25:25What we got to do is to pull the rug from under her.

25:30She'll slowly fall apart.

25:31So we just sit back and watch?

25:35Exactly.

25:36No bold moves, no confrontations.

25:39Just time.

25:41Maria can be her worst enemy, given the right push.

25:44And where do I fit into all of this?

25:48Let's just say that I could use her motivated in my life.

25:55Olivia, are you looking for a job?

25:57So, John, how did you and my daughter cross paths?

26:05Paris, just two months ago.

26:08By this end.

26:10Felt like fate.

26:11Seemed so sudden.

26:13What's with the big rush?

26:15Father, do you remember you told me something about love?

26:19Not needing explanations or definitions.

26:23You said love was like being alive.

26:27You know when you are, and you know when you're not.

26:34That's how I knew.

26:36I was alive.

26:38After all these years.

26:40To be alive.

26:42And to love.

26:43Hope we're not too late to join the celebrations.

26:51Well, Duke.

26:53Aren't you going to introduce us to your lovely guest?

26:56This is Olivia.

26:58She's a master chef.

27:00Thought she might bring a little spice to our house.

27:03Is that really necessary?

27:05Don't we have all the help we need?

27:06Oh, nonsense.

27:08It's a splendid idea.

27:09You're very welcome here.

27:10Thank you, Mr. Weston.

27:12I'll be sure to make myself useful.

27:14And, of course, to review, Miss Maria.

27:22And you must be John?

27:25I'm Olivia.

27:28Ah, Grace.

27:30There you are, darling.

27:31Meet Olivia, our new chef.

27:33She's going to be staying with us for a while.

27:35Oh, isn't this cozy?

27:38One big, happy family.

27:41Two new beginnings, then.

27:52All right, drop the act.

27:54What are you doing here?

27:55Isn't it obvious?

27:58Making myself a home?

27:59That dress.

28:01That's Laura's.

28:03Oh, this?

28:05Yeah, she was kind enough to let me borrow it.

28:09Generous, isn't she?

28:11Generous.

28:12She bought that dress with my money.

28:15That dress doesn't belong to you.

28:18Just like this life doesn't.

28:21Take it off.

28:22Now.

28:23You'll have to rip it off me first.

28:31You're pathetic.

28:33All this power, all this wealth.

28:36And you still can't stand someone challenging you, Maria.

28:40Challenging me?

28:41Challenge me all you want.

28:44But when you fall again, you will fall.

28:48Don't expect me to help you up.

28:50Again.

28:51Help.

28:54Please.

29:01We'll see who loses Maria.

29:03Enjoy your borrowed life.

29:06Because it's not going to last.

29:09Oh.

29:10And next time?

29:12I won't be so polite.

29:13Did you make these yourself?

29:39Yes, sir.

29:41Thought a little something homemade might brighten the morning.

29:44Well, mission accomplished.

29:47Please, sit, Olivia.

29:48You deserve a break.

29:51It's nice to feel appreciated around here.

29:54You know, this house isn't so easy.

29:57What is that?

29:58Is it the room?

29:59I can arrange something bigger, if you like.

30:00No, it's not the room or anything like that.

30:02It's just the way things are.

30:05You know, I didn't grow up with all this money and power.

30:09My family were just simple people.

30:12You think I was born into this life?

30:14No.

30:15I had to build it.

30:17Piece by piece.

30:18That's why it hurt so much.

30:20Saying my kids, they never had to fight for anything.

30:23The other day, Maria, she told me I stink of poverty.

30:31She can't even look at me without disgust.

30:34Olivia, this is my house.

30:36If anyone in this family doesn't like it, they're free to leave.

30:39I couldn't stop thinking about you.

30:50Didn't know where you were.

30:52Were you all right?

30:53Where was I?

30:54After you left me?

30:57Broke.

30:58Homeless.

30:59Alone.

31:01I stared where I could.

31:03But don't worry.

31:04I didn't sell myself.

31:06If that's what you're wondering.

31:07Olivia, please.

31:08I know I hurt you, but it's not what you think.

31:12Just give me a chance to explain.

31:14You chose money over me, John.

31:17And died.

31:19You can't just forget.

31:21You know I love you, right?

31:24Please don't forget that.

31:26I'll be done with this game soon, and then we can leave together.

31:29I promise.

31:35John!

31:36Get your hands off her now.

31:38You're set to marry my daughter.

31:46Yet here you are with another woman under my roof.

31:49It's not what it looks like.

31:53I knew Olivia from before.

31:55From before?

31:56From where exactly?

31:57Mr. Weston.

31:58I don't know who he is.

32:00He's just a stranger to me.

32:01Okay, I'm trying to understand what Maria sees in you, or if she's seen clearly at all.

32:08Look, Dad.

32:09John and I are going to handle this privately, aren't we, John?

32:14Let's go.

32:15John, if you cross this line again, you won't get within a mile of this family.

32:19Are we clear?

32:20Do you have any idea what you've done?

32:33Everyone is suspicious now.

32:35We had a plan, and you managed to ruin it in one day.

32:38Maybe you shouldn't have relied on a plan so fragile that a single mistake could break it.

32:44You're here because you're supposed to follow orders, not question me.

32:49Do your job.

32:52Prove your worth.

32:54And then you'll get your money.

32:55Money?

32:56Right.

32:57But let's be real, Maria.

32:58If your father doesn't choose you, you've got nothing to give me, do you?

33:05So what's the backup plan?

33:07Because from where I'm standing, you're not in as control as you think.

33:11Don't push me, John.

33:12You're here because when you signed that paper, you gave away any control you had.

33:16In fact, you handed me the keys to your life.

33:22If you fail me, I'll make sure that you lose everything.

33:28Even the things you didn't know you had left.

33:31So go ahead.

33:33Test me if you want.

33:35But if I were you, I'd start thinking about the price of obedience.

33:40You know, Olivia, you're playing your part beautifully.

33:49But remember, you're here to do a job, not to get cozy with my father.

33:56I'm here to do exactly what I was brought here to do, Duke.

34:00But I think I'm going to do it my way, not yours.

34:05Careful, Olivia.

34:07Don't think you're running the show here.

34:10This is my house.

34:12And remember, I brought you here.

34:14Maybe so.

34:16But while I'm here, this is my room.

34:19And you're not welcome in it.

34:20Yeah?

34:21If I decide to stay.

34:26Then you'd only be proving why your father doesn't respect you.

34:30You see, he knows something about dignity.

34:34Clearly something you've never learned.

34:37You think his protection will keep you safe here?

34:40Mr. Weston let me in here.

34:44And you see, he's the one calling the shots.

34:47Not you.

34:51Olivia, you bring something to this house I thought I'd lost.

35:00Really, Mr. Weston?

35:04I think we're well past Mr. Weston now, don't you?

35:09All right, Edward.

35:12I find myself looking forward to each day, knowing I'll see you.

35:17Edward, I didn't expect.

35:20I mean, like, I never thought that...

35:23Sometimes, words just get in the way.

35:36How could you?

35:37After all these years?

35:47I can't do this anymore.

35:50I have my lawyer sign the papers.

35:52Mom, don't do this.

36:09Don't let her push you out.

36:12If anyone should be leaving, it's her.

36:15Oh, my baby girl.

36:17This is not about her.

36:19This is about your father.

36:21He's searching for something else.

36:24And I'm tired of being the one waiting.

36:26Stay then.

36:28Let him see what he's giving up.

36:30She's calling to hear you're the one holding us together.

36:32I tried.

36:34I tried for so many years.

36:36But no matter how much love I gave,

36:38it was never enough to feel the emptiness in him.

36:41Please, take care of each other.

36:53And don't ever think you are not enough.

36:56Aren't you going to say goodbye to her?

37:17Grace made her choice.

37:18There's nothing more to say.

37:19So, how are things going to be now?

37:24Between us, I mean.

37:26This isn't the time for that discussion.

37:29Is that your way of saying you regret this?

37:32Are you blaming me?

37:33No.

37:34It was bound to happen.

37:36Grace was always looking for an excuse to leave.

37:38Oh, so I'm just an excuse.

37:44That's it.

37:45Fairytale's over.

37:47Cinderella goes back to cleaning the kitchen.

37:49I'm going to ask you this once.

37:58What did you do to my mother?

38:01Nothing.

38:03Maybe she just finally had enough.

38:07Watching her own children turn out to be such disappointment.

38:10Careful, you're playing a dangerous game.

38:12In this house, you're going to get eaten up alive.

38:15And you'll be left with nothing.

38:17Nothing?

38:17Oh, I already have so much more than you ever could.

38:23And you know what?

38:24It's delicious, Maria.

38:26Okay.

38:27What, you think throwing yourself at him gives you power?

38:30It only proves what everyone already sees.

38:33A woman so desperate, she'll hang on to any man with a pulse and a dollar.

38:38At least I didn't have to write a check just to make me feel wanted.

38:43You see, that's the difference between us, Maria.

38:46Yeah, we'll enjoy it while it lasts.

38:48Because once my father sees who you really are, he'll throw you out with the rest of the trash.

38:55Stay away from my father.

38:58And stay the hell out of my life.

39:01Got it.

39:03Got it.

39:03Oh, my God.

39:33John, have you lost your mind?

39:41What are you doing here?

39:43Just give me a minute, please.

39:49What are you really doing here?

39:51What's the plan?

39:52I'm here to keep my promise, John.

39:54To make sure you regret every moment.

39:58Olivia.

40:03Olivia, this doesn't have to be about revenge.

40:09I'm here for the money.

40:10For us.

40:11Help me and we can leave this together.

40:15You left me, John.

40:18You broke me.

40:19You broke us.

40:22And now you're all wrapped up in Maria's lies.

40:25I've made mistakes, but I never stopped loving you.

40:29Not for one second.

40:33You think you can just pick up the pieces?

40:36It's not that simple, John.

40:38Not all wounds can just heal.

40:41Maybe not, but I'd hold on to every broken piece if I can still help you.

40:46Maria?

41:08Do I really need to remind you who wins you?

41:11If you want your money, you're going to stay in your role.

41:16And if you think you're coming into my bed again, you're going to stay away from this.

41:24You really think you can still buy everything?

41:27It's actually amusing how little it costs to make them forget you.

41:31Maria, that's not...

41:32Look, either you're going to take the life I'm giving you, or you're going to throw it away for her.

41:43Choose wisely.

41:57Everything's falling apart.

41:58If I don't find a way to stay in this game, Maria will toss me out without a cent.

42:04Why do you still care about Maria's money?

42:07It's not even hers, it's her father's.

42:09Look, maybe we should play by his rules, not hers.

42:13Why would he give me a million dollars?

42:16Edward doesn't care about me.

42:17Not one bit.

42:19No, he doesn't care about you.

42:21But he does have other interests.

42:25Don't even think about it, Olivia.

42:26Edward's just another rich man who gets bored easily.

42:32He'll use you up and throw you out like nothing.

42:34Isn't that why we're here?

42:36For the money?

42:38Let me handle this.

42:41Don't play games with these people.

42:45We'll figure it out.

42:47Tomorrow.

42:47What are you doing?

42:59What are you doing?

43:01Edward?

43:01Maria, do you know what alexitamia is?

43:20It's when someone can truly feel or express their emotions like others do.

43:25For you, it means you may never know what love really is.

43:30And what exactly is love?

43:33Love is a connection beyond reason.

43:38It's that force that draws you in even when you try to resist.

43:43It makes you care beyond reason.

43:47Then it sounds unnecessary.

43:50I don't need it.

43:51You're a remarkable woman, Maria.

43:53It's a shame.

43:55Someone like you might never know what it's like to love.

44:00We'll be loved.

44:06Maria?

44:08Wait, tell me, John.

44:11What is love?

44:15I don't know.

44:17It's not something you say.

44:19It's something you feel.

44:20Did you feel it?

44:33Did you feel love?

44:35Is this partly game or is this?

44:37What did it feel like with Olivia?

44:39When you touched her?

44:41When you kissed her?

44:42It's like everything fades.

44:44It's just her.

44:47The way she laughs.

44:49The way she smells.

44:50Tie this over your eyes.

45:02Now touch me.

45:04Touch me as if I'm her.

45:06That's enough.

45:20I don't have time for fantasies.

45:22Come on, get up.

45:23We have work to do.

45:24Good morning, John.

45:35Decided to join us, I see.

45:37Look, Father, I was saying, now that Mother's gone, I think it's time to end this family

45:48competition.

45:50It's tearing us all apart.

45:51So you're finally giving up?

45:53Well, if it means peace, then yes.

45:55Give Duke the title, if you think he's earned it.

46:02It's not likely to surrender, Maria.

46:05What's behind the change of heart?

46:06Letting go doesn't mean that I've lost.

46:09It just means that I'm picking my battles.

46:12That's all.

46:13You know what, Maria?

46:15Enjoy your last days here, because once I'm in charge, this whole empire is going to look

46:20a lot different.

46:22Is that a threat, Duke?

46:23Like, one day you'll know exactly how it feels to live in my shadow.

46:39So I overheard the conversation.

46:41That means we won, right?

46:42All of you.

46:46She won again.

46:47But you're the CEO.

46:48She's out.

46:50Isn't that what you really wanted?

46:51Do you think that this is what I wanted?

46:54Business reports, boardroom meetings.

46:56This was always her dream, not mine.

46:59Then what do you really want?

47:02To be seen.

47:04To have my father look at me just once and tell me that he's proud.

47:09And that's gone now.

47:10She took it from me.

47:13Oh, Duke.

47:14Something the matter?

47:15You don't look like a man who just got everything he wanted.

47:18You never wanted me to have this.

47:20Just wanted to win.

47:21Yeah.

47:22You know, if you were looking for dad's approval, you're always going to be disappointed.

47:27Because you know there was always one favorite.

47:29And guess what?

47:30It wasn't you.

47:39Hey, you dare touch me?

47:41Do you really get your kicks tearing down people?

47:43Even your own family?

47:45Oh, please.

47:46Duke's life's been falling apart for years.

47:48My help's hardly needed.

47:50You tear people down just to make yourself feel powerful.

47:53But guess what?

47:54It's all slipping through your fingers now, isn't it, Maria?

47:56You're stepping out of line.

47:57Back.

47:59Remember where you are and who you're dealing with.

48:02Oh, I know exactly who I'm dealing with.

48:05And I pity you.

48:08You're all alone.

48:10You're too proud to even see it.

48:11Maria, Edward knows.

48:13Duke's telling him everything.

48:15Right now!

48:19Dad, please just listen to me.

48:21I don't have time for this, Duke.

48:23Save the drama.

48:23I have a company to run.

48:25No, you're going to hear me now.

48:27I know that Maria's the one who can handle the business.

48:29I've always known.

48:30All I ever wanted was for you to see me as something more.

48:35To trust me.

48:36Trust you?

48:37When have you done anything but rely on this family's name?

48:40You've wasted every chance you've had.

48:43And Maria, you think she's so perfect?

48:47She bought John.

48:49She paid him to act like her fiancé.

48:51It's all an act.

48:53And Olivia?

48:54Tell me, Duke, who paid her to play her part in this?

49:00Did you two really think I wouldn't notice?

49:13You think I'm blind?

49:14You never gave me a chance, Dad.

49:16You always dismissed me like I was nothing.

49:19Maybe if you had just had a little thing.

49:22Just a little.

49:24You'd see maybe we're not playing games.

49:26Faith.

49:26This little performance was meant to prove something to me.

49:31You've never wanted to see what we're capable of.

49:34Maria might be desperate.

49:36And I've made mistakes.

49:37But we're not completely useless.

49:40We're just trying to earn our place, Father.

49:44You know what?

49:45If that takes more than you're willing to see,

49:48then maybe that's your own fault.

49:51Neither of you deserve a thing.

49:52Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.

50:01Maria's not going to pay me.

50:03I should have seen this coming.

50:06So what now, Olivia?

50:07What can we do?

50:09There's no we, John.

50:11You know that, right?

50:12What are you on about?

50:13Just yesterday, you and I...

50:15Yesterday was a mistake.

50:16I have a plan, and you're not involved in it.

50:22It's this plan, Olivia.

50:25Why don't we let everyone hear it?

50:28Neither of you deserve a thing.

50:30Maybe it's time I reconsider what this company truly needs.

50:33Edward, should we make things clear for everyone?

50:50I hadn't planned to announce this today, but yes.

50:54I've decided not to retire.

50:58You thought I wanted someone to take over this empire.

51:03No.

51:04I wanted something real.

51:07But with you two, there's always demands, expectations.

51:11Never love.

51:14Olivia, was this your plan all along?

51:20Sorry.

51:21I was lost.

51:24Grace leaving, the divorce, step away from the company.

51:28I wasn't myself.

51:29Forgive me.

51:29I've been through so much, it would affect anyone.

51:36But before we go any further, there's something you need to know.

51:41I didn't come here by accident.

51:44Okay.

51:45What do you mean, Olivia?

51:47Well, I came here with a plan.

51:52I came here to hurt Maria.

51:54You see, she paid my boyfriend one million dollars to pretend to be her fiancé.

52:00John was your boyfriend.

52:09Maria used my money for this.

52:13Yeah.

52:13But somewhere along the line, my plans all fell apart.

52:23Because I met you.

52:26And I think I'm falling for you.

52:30She's using you.

52:36Look, she's nothing.

52:37You're making a mistake.

52:38No, Maria.

52:39The only mistake I made was thinking you cared about anything other than my wealth.

52:44Oh, my God.

52:45Olivia, she's the only one who's been honest with me.

52:48She sees me for who I really am.

52:50When you looked at him, all you saw was power, authority, someone to use for your gain.

53:01But when I saw him, I saw a man searching for love and ready to give it in return.

53:09Over these past few days, it's as if I've come back to life forgiven.

53:13Feeling younger than I have in years.

53:16So, my decision is final.

53:19John, I'm staying on.

53:21I'm going to lead the company with Olivia by my side.

53:25Olivia, is this who you really are?

53:28Is this how you take revenge?

53:30You never wanted to know the real me, John.

53:34And that's the real tragedy here.

53:36John, leave.

53:38I'm taking enough from this house.

53:49Father, you're making a fool of yourself.

53:52You know what?

53:52You are after one thing.

53:54You're after his money.

53:55Money?

53:57That's all you two ever wanted from me.

54:00She's using you.

54:02She's manipulating you.

54:03And you're too blinded by whatever this is to see it.

54:06I see very clearly now.

54:08This family, this house.

54:11You used it like a playground.

54:15This is my choice.

54:18This is my future.

54:19I'm done living by your expectations.

54:24So, okay, what?

54:26You're going to throw us away?

54:28For her?

54:29No, Maria.

54:31You threw me away long before Olivia came into my life.

54:34So, that's it?

54:36You're replacing us with her?

54:38She's nothing, Dad.

54:40She's no family.

54:42Duke, I didn't need a family.

54:46That's why I'm here.

54:47And you're not.
