Short filmTranscript
00:00:07Oh, yes. Who's daddy's naughty little pet? Come here, give me a kiss.
00:00:18Take it off me. It's so hot. Hmm. I'm sick of playing the damn dog.
00:00:26Wait, we've never done it in the living room. What if they come back early?
00:00:31Ah, relax. Eleanor took Charlotte to her checkup. They won't be back for hours, definitely not.
00:00:37How much longer are we gonna keep this up? When can we finally stop sneaking around?
00:00:42Not long now. Once Charlotte has the baby, I'm making my move against Eleanor at the board meeting.
00:00:49Once the company is mine, you'll be sitting pretty as the chairman's wife.
00:00:55Relax. Eleanor took Charlotte to her checkup. They won't be back for hours.
00:01:00Arthur? How dare you drag that filth into my sanctuary?
00:01:05My daughter is carrying your child without the sterling name to shield your worthlessness.
00:01:10You are nothing.
00:01:11God, not now. She's too far along, and this, this would break her. I can't risk the baby.
00:01:20Charlotte, darling. I think we left your report in the car. Let's go back and get it.
00:01:26Mom? It's right here in my hand. Why are you so nervous?
00:01:31What are we waiting for, Mom? I just want to go rest.
00:01:39Shit! They're back early!
00:01:44Hurry up! Get in!
00:01:49What?
00:01:55Oh, my God! A Samoyan? Did you get her for me?
00:01:59Wait, no.
00:02:02Does she know it?
00:02:03But 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.
00:02:12For 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, that's amazing, babe. So happy for us.
00:02:24So this is your little game.
00:02:26You stupid bitch.
00:02:28If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be suffocating in this damn suit.
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, 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.
00:03:06Mom, Arthur meant well. Maybe she's just not used to the environment yet.
00:03:11Fine. She stays. But an untrained dog is a liability. I'm taking over her training, personally. And it will be
00:03:18extremely 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.
00:03:37The 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.
00:03:58A fire ring? Eleanor, this is insane!
00:04:02Circus dogs do it all the time. She needs to learn obedience.
00:04:05Jump. Now.
00:04:08No. No. I can't. I'll burn to death this soon.
00:04:17Jump! Quickly! Now!
00:04:20No! No! No!
00:04:30The zipper. If she sees that, we are both dead.
00:04:35It's okay! I've got you! Don't be scared!
00:04:39Pathetic. Starting tomorrow, your diet will match your species.
00:04:43No!
00:04:50No!
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.
00:05:10She'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.
00:05:52You 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 stone.
00:06:06It's an accident!
00:06:07Then we get rid of Eleanor and take the company!
00:06:12If Alaino finds out the truth, I lose everything anyway.
00:06:18Okay. 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!
00:07:12Please!
00:07:27Have fun, baby.
00:07:30Don't do this.
00:07:31Go!
00:07:33No!
00:07:34Somebody help me!
00:07:36No!
00:07:37No!
00:07:38No!
00:07:39No!
00:07:40No!
00:07:53Get away from her!
00:07:58Go away!
00:08:12Call the moth.
00:08:14No!
00:08:20Arthur!
00:08:21What are you doing?
00:08:22You're bleeding!
00:08:24For 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.
00:10:00Once they're gone, the estate, the company...
00:10:03It all goes to me.
00:10:09The 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?
00:10:23No.
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!
00:10:46Keep the pace!
00:10:51If you stop, we add more bricks.
00:10:55That old hag is really crazy!
00:10:58Keep moving.
00:11:05It burns!
00:11:07He actually hit me!
00:11:12He 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.
00:11:39Charlotte 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 me.
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 just enough to leak slowly.
00:12:20A car crash.
00:12:22It will look like an accident.
00:12:23They 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.
00:12:36Just 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!
00:13:47Madam 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.
00:14:42We are completely alone.
00:14:51I am out!
00:14:53I am finally out of this cave!
00:14:58To our new estate.
00:15:04Charlotte 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.
00:15:16This 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 her signature stamps?
00:15:28It is safe.
00:15:30I have the combination.
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.
00:16:14I 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.
00:16:34Are 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?
00:16:53You 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.
00:17:40But Madam Elinor is not here.
00:17:43A transfer of this magnitude requires her direct signature.
00:17:49I have Madam Elinor's power of authority.
00:17:52Even with the stamp, it's highly a regulator.
00:17:56Are you questioning my authority, Charlotte?
00:18:00Charlotte is on medical leave, and Elinor has handed over all operations to me.
00:18:05Sign the papers, or I will find executives who know how to follow orders.
00:18:17Nobody is signing anything.
00:18:23Madam Elinor, who's Charlotte?
00:18:27Elinor, Charlotte, you are supposed to be overseas.
00:18:32And miss the show?
00:18:33I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:18:41Charlotte, honey.
00:18:42You shouldn't be traveling.
00:18:44The baby...
00:18:44Don't touch me, Arthur.
00:18:45What'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.
00:19:15Elinor, 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.
00:19:27The 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, and to show the world how united our family is.
00:19:38You will attend, and you will bring that loyal Sam Mayen of yours.
00:19:43On a lash.
00:19:46The dog?
00:19:48To a formal banquet?
00:19:52Elinor, 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, now.
00:20:08No!
00:20:09I am not wearing that thing again.
00:20:11I can't breathe in it.
00:20:12Elinor 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, 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.
00:20:54From acting CEO to a professional dog walker in one day is pathetic.
00:21:19Arthur, bring the dog to the center.
00:21:21It's time for its dinner.
00:21:22No.
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,
00:22:18but 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, 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!
00:23:31Is 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!
00:23:50Close it!
00:24:04Stop that dog.
00:24:06Strip the skin off her.
00:24:07Strip the skin off her.

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
00:30:20If they hire Arthur
00:30:24They declare war on the Sterling Group
00:30:31David
00:30:31It's Arthur
00:30:33Listen, I need a job
00:30:35Just a consulting role, anything
00:30:37Arthur, are you crazy?
00:30:40Charlotte Sterling just issued a citywide blacklist on you
00:30:43I know the industry
00:30:45I 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
00:30:58Another 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
00:31:23While you made promises you couldn't keep
00:31:29She controls the supply chain
00:31:31But 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
00:31:45Of 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
00:32:01Call Victor!
00:32:03Tell him, Arthur
00:32:04The former acting CPO of Sterling
00:32:08Is here with the South District bid
00:32:11Out
00:32:12Now
00:32:13$10 billion
00:32:15Tell Victor
00:32:17He will want to hear this
00:32:26Arthur
00:32:28I saw the videos from the banquet
00:32:29You 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
00:33:25A million dollar signing bonus
00:33:27And 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
00:33:43I will throw you off this balcony
00:33:52Real soap
00:33:53Real hot water
00:33:54This 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
00:34:11He will copy the server tomorrow night
00:34:16Miss Charlotte, with all due respect
00:34:18The South District bid is in two days
00:34:20Changing the project lead now is highly risky
00:34:23Perhaps Madam Elena should step in
00:34:25You are expecting
00:34:27Stress 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
00:34:36The transition is messy
00:34:38Arthur is gone
00:34:40Any executive who brings his name up as an excuse for incompetence will join him on the street
00:34:52The meeting is adjourned
00:34:54The 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 a junior analyst copying the South District folder onto an external hardy drive at 3am
00:35:06Did you stop him?
00:35:08As you instructed
00:35:09We let him walk out the front door with the drive
00:35:11Good
00:35:12Arthur thinks he is stealing our core strategy
00:35:17Let Victor bid his entire cash reserve on 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
00:35:32Perfect
00:35:34The money will be wired to your account tomorrow
00:35:36Don't contact me again
00:35:44Here is Sterling's final bid
00:35:46$4.2 billion for the South District land
00:35:50$4.2 billion
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
00:36:04Once the land is ours
00:36:06The city will rezone it for commercial high-risers
00:36:08The value triples in six months
00:36:10Apex 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
00:36:47Still so arrogant
00:36:49Let's see how arrogant you are when 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 for the South District Development Project
00:37:10Apex Group
00:37:11Bid amount $4.3 billion
00:37:13$400 million
00:37:28$1.2 billion
00:37:30million dollars what that's not even a competitive number impossible the hard drive said 4.2 billion
00:37:37i saw the spread birds the bid goes to apex group however the city council has attached a new
00:37:43environmental clause to this land what clause this was a commercial zoning project the soil
00:37:48survey released this morning revealed massive heavy metal contamination the buyer must bear
00:37:52the full cost of ecological restoration before any commercial construction estimated restoration cost
00:37:57three billion dollars three billion the land is worthless

00:42:26It's mine!
00:42:28I earned it!
00:42:36Let go, you stupid bitch!
00:42:38Let go!
00:42:39Die!
00:42:40Just die!
00:42:48My money!
00:43:12No!
00:43:13No!
00:43:14No!
00:43:17Police!
00:43:18Get down on the ground!
00:43:19Show me your hands!
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.
00:43:55No 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.
00:44:13Victor 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.
00:44:44Charlotte 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 core...
00:45:01You don't sound like a hostage here. You sound like a co-conspirator.
00:45:08That...
00:45:08That 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.
00:45:32I 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?
00:45:53She 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.
00:46:3810 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. Used 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. We absorb their core assets at 30 cents on the dollar.
00:48:01Send the press release. I want the market to know sterling is stronger than ever.
00:48:13I'm going into labor.
00:48:20Charlotte? Are you all right?
00:48:24It's time. The water broke.
00:48:30Guards, get the car ready at the underground entrance. Call the private hospital.
00:48:41Call 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, I need you to push on my count.
00:49:13I can't. I don't have any strength left in my legs.
00:49:17Yes, you can. Take a very deep breath. Fill your lungs. Hold it and push down.
00:49:23Heart rate is elevating. Blood pressure is 140 over 90.
00:49:27Three, two, one, push!
00:49:35It's not enough. The baby is crowning, but the progress stopped.
00:49:41She is exhausted, doctor.
00:49:43Fetal heart rate is dropping. It's down to 90.
00:49:46The cord might be compressed. Miss Charlotte, this is the final moment.
00:49:51I need one long, continuous push. Do not stop until I tell you.
00:49:58Here comes the contraction. Deep breath. Now, push.
00:50:10The head is out. Keep pushing. Don't lose the momentum.
00:50:18Time of birth. 1405. It is a girl. A 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. Okay, that's brilliant.
00:50:50Evans, you missed a spot. Two inches to your left.
00:50:56I have been scrubbing this floor for five hours. My fingers are bleeding.
00:51:01And I don't see how that is my problem. I said you missed a spot.
00:51:08Now you have a lot more spots to clean. Start over. Or 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. Let 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. And 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. The recovery takes time.
00:51:56Time is exactly what Sturley Group don't have right now. The market is watching us.
00:52:00Look at the quarterly projections. The Apex acquisition was a win, but the integration is a mess.
00:52:07These numbers. The supply chain disruption is costing us millions every week. Exactly.
00:52:13A woman fresh off maternity leave cannot handle this. She is weak. But Eleanor officially handed the
00:52:19chairman's seal to her. Charlotte holds the majority voting rights. Voting rights don't matter if the
00:52:23board declares her unfit to lead due to medical reasons. Article 7, Section 4 of the Corporate
00:52:29Carton. An interim chairman can be appointed by a 2% majority of the executive board.
00:52:35The board meeting is tomorrow at 10am. I have secured five votes already. I need both of you. Back me
00:52:42tomorrow. And your dividend payouts will double next quarter. I guarantee it. You have my vote,
00:52:49Richard. The company needs a strong hand. Mine too. We can't let a girl play house with a billion dollar
00:52:56empires. To a new era for the Sterling Group.
00:53:14That looks delicious, fresh meat. I'll take it.
00:53:20That is my ration. Give 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.
00:53:54The convoy is ready downstairs. Six SUVs. The press is already gathered outside the headquarters.
00:54:00Are the board members seated in the conference room?
00:54:02Yes. Uncle Richard arrived 30 minutes early. He is acting very restless. He has spent the last month
00:54:08spreading rumors that you are bedridden and mentally unstable. Uncle 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 10am, gentlemen, just as I predicted. She will not show up.
00:54:34She just had a baby a month ago. Her body is weak. She shouldn't be running a multi-billion
00:54:39dollar enterprise from a nursery. But the South District integration requires immediate signatures.
00:54:43The contractors are threatening to stop work. The company requires a strong, present leader,
00:54:50not an absent nursing mother. Arthur and Eleanor are gone, leaving a power vacuum our rivals will
00:54:58exploit. We need a leader. Per Article 7, I propose an immediate vote for an interim chairman.
00:55:04I second the motion. Richard has the experience to lead us through this.
00:55:14The floor is secure, Madam Chairman. They are in the main room.
00:55:21Then let the record show that effective immediately, I shall assume the role.
00:55:27Open it.
00:55:42Charlotte, you are here. We thought...
00:55:47Charlotte, you are here. We thought...
00:55:58I am here. Now, who wants to vote for an interim chairman? Raise your hand.
00:56:11It's past 10am. I told you, she won't show up.
00:56:16She just had a baby a month ago. She shouldn't be running a multi-billion dollar empire.
00:56:22The company needs a strong leader, not a nursing mother. Arthur almost ruined us.
00:56:29Eleanor is stepping down. Someone has to take the wheel.
00:56:36I propose a vote for an interim chairman to stabilize the market.
00:56:40I second the motion. Richard is the logical choice.
00:57:11Charlotte, you should be resting. The board was just discussing taking some things off your plate.
00:57:17Easing my burden? By sitting in my chair?
00:57:22I am here. Now, who wants to vote for an interim chairman?
00:57:27Raise your hand.
00:57:29Charlotte, don't be arrogant. You 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. That's my project. I 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. Give 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. We purchased the deed this morning.
00:58:21But the environmental report stated it was toxic. How will Sterling absorb a three billion dollar cleanup?
00:58:29There is no cleanup. The 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-verified data. We simply capitalized on their mistake.
00:58:49What about your ex-husband, Arthur? He is serving 15 years for that exact data theft.
00:58:54Did you plan this?
00:58:57I run a multi-billion dollar empire. I do not have time to plan for criminals.
00:59:15Pick up the phone, Arthur.
00:59:18The appeal. Did the judge set a date for the appeal hearing?
00:59:22The appellate court rejected the filing this morning. There will be no hearing.
00:59:26Rejected? Why? I have new evidence. Victor forced me!
00:59:30Victor signed a plea deal. He 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. Charlotte bought them off. She bought the judges!
00:59:46Stop it, Arthur. The firm is dropping your case. You have zero funds left.
00:59:53We cannot work pro bono.
00:59:55My uncle! Uncle Richard! He is on the board of Sterling! Go to him!
00:59:59He will pay your fees!
01:00:01Richard was arrested three days ago. Embezzlement 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. Don't cause trouble for the guards.
01:00:17Sterling Group has just included a historic press conference.
01:00:27Charlotte! That was mine! That was supposed to be mine!
01:00:32I am the CEO! Give it back!
01:00:36Inmate down on the floor! Now!
01:00:41Solitary confinement. Seven days.
01:00:49Hey, Princess. Look what I found in the rec room. Please. I just need to finish my work quota.
01:00:55Charlotte Sterling, the billion dollar queen. She looks very pretty in this white suit.
01:01:02I heard you used to be her best friend. You lived in her mansion. You wore her clothes.
01:01:07Now she owns the city and you are hauling rotting cabbage.
01:01:10Give it to me! Let me see it! You want it? Go fetch!
01:01:26No! No!
01:01:33No!
01:01:34I am the chairman. The eastern port project has been fully halted. We have secured the perimeter and locked down
01:01:40all assets.
01:01:42What about the contractors Uncle Richard hired?
01:01:45We sent termination notices this morning. Three of them are threatening to suit for breach of contract.
01:01:50Let them sue. Freeze their accounts through our banking partners and drag the litigation out for five years.
01:01:57Let them starve them until they drop the case.
01:02:00Understood. I will instruct the legal team immediately.
01:02:03The HR restrictioning. Have you completed the list?
01:02:06Yes. Anyone hired or promoted directly by Arthur or Richard in the past 12 months.
01:02:13Terminate all of them by 5 p.m. today. Two weeks severance. Zero recommendations.
01:02:1945 people, Madam Chairman, that might not have been involved in the embezzlement.
01:02:21I do not run a charity. If their foundation is rotten, I tear down the house. Any other objections?
01:02:27No, Madam Chairman. I will execute the orders.
01:02:34Madam Eleanor.
01:02:37You are dismissed. Get it done.
01:02:42You are cleaning house very thoroughly. The entire executive floor is terrified of you.
01:02:47Fear ensures compliance. They need to know the rules have changed.
01:02:51Just remember to balance the stick with the carrot. A king cannot rule by execution alone.
01:02:58I have the carrot, Mother. We just secured a 30% increase in quarterly profits. That is all the carrot
01:03:04they need.
01:03:19Move aside, Cripple. That is my bin today.
01:03:25I got here first, Richard. There is half an apple in here.
01:03:30I said move!
01:03:32You ruined me. If you hadn't stolen that 50 million, Charlotte would have taken me back.
01:03:41You ruined yourself, you stupid boy. You married a queen and tried to treat her like a maid.
01:03:47Get up, inmate 402. No sleeping in the yard.
01:03:53What do you mean parole is denied? It has been three years. I have scrubbed the floors every single day!
01:03:58The parole board reviewed your case this morning. Sterling Group submitted a 60-page impact statement.
01:04:04Charlotte, she wrote a statement?
01:04:06Not her personally. Her legal team.
01:04:08They detailed the severe emotional and financial distress your actions caused.
01:04:12The board concluded you show zero remorse. Your next parole hearing is scheduled for five years from now.
01:04:16Five years?! I will die! I am sorry! Tell her I will be her dog again!
01:04:20I will wear the suit! Just 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. We 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. We are the market.
01:05:28The Transglobal integration is 80% complete. We are terminating three of their regional VPs tomorrow.
01:05:36Any resistance from the local unions?
01:05:39They threatened a strike. I offered them a 10% wage increase and fired the union leaders.
01:05:44The strike was canceled an hour ago. You 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. She 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! If they try to change one single clause while I am in the air,
01:06:25I cancel the entire deal! Understood!
01:06:39The Empire is mine.
01:07:12Welcome to Geneva, Madam Chairman. I hope the turbulence over the Alps wasn't too severe.
01:07:18The weather does not bother me. Where is the final contract for the Transglobal acquisition?
01:07:30The contract is ready. We just made one minor adjustment to the equity distribution clause.
01:07:42Section 4. You inserted a 20% holding stake for Apex Group's former sub-derriers.
01:07:4920%?! That was never discussed! Apex is bankrupt!
01:07:57Victor was my cousin. You 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. The 20% clause is removed, or there is no deal.
01:08:19You are in Europe now, Miss Sterling. You 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.
01:09:00You underestimate the old money of Europe.
01:09:05And you underestimate me. Move.
01:09:11Open the doors. Let her pass.
01:09:21Mother, the trans-global deal is dead. Victor's cousin is running the consortium.
01:09:27He wanted 20% equity for Apex's remnants. I 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. The bomb squad is on the way.
01:10:15It is not a bomb.
01:10:18Alexander does not use explosives.
01:10:20He 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.
01:11:06Arthur, my 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. He wants your cooperation.
01:11:25This is an order for immediate medical parole.
01:11:28Fully signed by a judge from my client sponsor. You 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 and publicly testify that Charlotte
01:11:42Sterling 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. She 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. You sign the paper. You get the leg. You 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, along 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. She is safe.
01:12:55Good morning, Miss Sterling. I 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 PSEM to turn your Geneva resident to ash.
01:13:06You refused my terms. Now 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 FCC is already preparing subpoenas. Sterling 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 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.
