00:25:07one yeah she is missing the opportunity for cooperation john's definitely gonna blame her

00:25:14case reputation in the industry will be completely tarnished no one will dare cooperate with her

00:25:26mr easton i have been working with your company for years and i have never seen an

00:25:30assessment report this terrible is this a joke mr russell there must be some kind of misunderstanding

00:25:36but the project's been going very smoothly this is so unprofessional it is full of mistakes that report

00:25:44was written by the top lawyer k so there shouldn't be any issues right caroline care to explain how do

00:25:53you explain a lack of professionalism i'm sorry i'm afraid this means we can no longer be partners

00:25:59mr russell you can't make that decision what did you just say k is right

00:26:06what are you doing here if i hadn't have come you would have missed out on a great project what does

00:26:23president lynch mean this is the assessment done by k what you're holding is faith what the assessment is

00:26:33is it's supposed it really is as good as they say it's impossible like could you say that you knew

00:26:40there was a problem with the assessment file and insisted on giving it to elena or are you surprised

00:26:47that even with the fake data that you gave me i was able to present a praiseworthy assessment report

00:26:53you're lying i didn't do anything

00:26:57care to explain this

00:26:58that's evidence of you sneaking into my office and switching the documents you tricked me

00:27:11mary you are fired

00:27:15president lynch this is a misunderstanding

00:27:28you knew mary was playing tricks

00:27:38why did you let her do something so foolish it raises questions when someone comes at you for

00:27:43no reason you've changed it's hard not to change after everything i've been through alone

00:27:58what did you do look who's coming

00:28:10that bitch cost me my job i'll never let her off the hook you know

00:28:16there is an opportunity right now for us to get revenge

00:28:18mom was work smooth yesterday i had some trouble but it's all smoothed over now what about dad did he help you

00:28:34leo i don't want to have to tell you again john is not your father i want dad john would be good

00:28:42i'll think it over carefully now please eat your breakfast

00:28:51mom

00:28:51mom we got a problem

00:29:00someone is spreading lies about you online i'm trying to harden your reputation

00:29:06i'll deal with this you go get ready for school i saw it photos of caroline and that man

00:29:12are those rumors said online true of course not they're rumors that man richer than me

00:29:26how much money did he give you you know what john he did give me more and he's better in bed than you

00:29:32are you satisfied where did he touch you was it here or here

00:29:47what made you so promiscuous these last 10 years you've got me all wrong john move

00:30:02you're so stupid you can't even see such an obvious trap what's this you know what to do next right

00:30:14why give it to me because compared to others you're a good candidate to be my dad

00:30:19you need to win my mom time this is my phone number you can contact me anytime

00:30:32hand over all the evidence to the police and let mary know there's consequences for spreading rumors

00:30:39i looked into the transfer of the m company's database

00:30:43and i found evidence that your parents would tell you

00:30:46problem is the information is at the core of the m which is nearly impossible to access

00:30:51you go first i'll figure it out no i'm going with you you can't do this by yourself

00:30:56and candidly i don't trust john i think he still has feelings for you don't forget i'm still your boss

00:31:04so

00:31:12caroline i want to apologize for my behavior just now i know you're not that kind of person mr

00:31:19easton if there's nothing else i'd like to get back to work i've already sent the person who spread

00:31:23those rumors to prison would you send your mother to prison for me

00:31:33caroline i'm sincerely trying to apologize

00:31:36apology

00:31:37is worthless

00:31:39i know my behavior was offensive and my attitude towards you was wrong but i was just angry that

00:31:45you disappeared for 10 years but i've come to realize i can't help but care for you caliph

00:31:50so can we start over you and your employees have something against me there isn't the slightest

00:31:58bit of trust and you want to start over

00:32:07this is the key to the company's database which grants you access to all the core files

00:41:54How did she not die in the fire?

00:42:04Caroline, are you alright?

00:42:06That's really none of your business.

00:42:09How is it none of my business?

00:42:10I've been looking for you everywhere and you're here with Victor.

00:42:13Did you also put my mother in prison?

00:42:24Yes.

00:42:33Now would you stop bothering me?

00:42:36You got close to me to use Victor against me.

00:42:38You left me to die in there!

00:42:41You used me!

00:42:43It's because I never left you.

00:42:48Why don't you handle your business?

00:42:50I won't bother you anymore.

00:42:51John, I'm having trouble breathing.

00:42:57Can you stay with me?

00:42:59Please?

00:43:00If you're hurt, go see the doctor.

00:43:08Alina was right.

00:43:10The contract you photographed in the records room, I was tampered with.

00:43:13I was reckless.

00:43:15I fell into a trap, used as a pawn.

00:43:18Someone else murdered my parents.

00:43:21Keep an eye on Alina.

00:43:25Let me know.

00:43:27Alina, for the sake of exposing the real murderer,

00:43:32I'll let you live for now.

00:43:36Why would you let that bitch live?

00:43:38Didn't we agree to get rid of her?

00:43:40She's more valuable alive than dead.

00:43:43Besides, if she were dead,

00:43:46would you still help me?

00:43:47Our friendship has always just been a partnership.

00:43:59Don't take it too seriously.

00:44:02John.

00:44:04Kiss me.

00:44:05You betrayed me.

00:44:06Hey, first you use me, and then you push me away.

00:44:17Ooh, I'm going to be heartbroken.

00:44:19Aw, thanks for playing along.

00:44:23Don't forget, you're not the real John.

00:44:25You wicked woman, I'll definitely let everyone see your true face.

00:44:47Are you better?

00:44:49You're in such a hurry to leave the hospital.

00:44:52Were you going to leave without saying goodbye?

00:44:54Or were you going to see Victor?

00:44:56I understand that I have made mistakes.

00:45:00I will restore your mother's innocence.

00:45:03And when she is released from prison, I will leave EM.

00:45:09Then we don't owe each other anything.

00:45:12Do you really want to leave like this again?

00:45:14John.

00:45:18Let's let each other go.

00:45:24We've been running the case.

00:45:36Did you suffer in prison?

00:45:38You've been working so hard.

00:45:41Prison gave me time to think.

00:45:43I want a grandchild.

00:45:47You two need to get married as soon as possible.

00:45:50Mom.

00:45:51Do you want me to die before I meet my grandchild?

00:45:57I promise.

00:45:58Caroline, John and I are getting married soon, so you must come and celebrate.

00:46:16Well, um, congratulations.

00:46:23Why don't we celebrate tonight?

00:46:25Sure.

00:46:26Great.

00:46:27I will get back to work.

00:46:29My letter of resignation.

00:46:43I'll put the money for the penalty in your account tomorrow and I'll leave.

00:46:48For Victor, you'd rather pay the high penalty than be with me?

00:46:51This isn't about him.

00:46:53I told you once your mother was out of prison, I would go.

00:46:55I don't need the penalty money.

00:47:00John, it's better if we let each other go.

00:47:07You love Elena.

00:47:10I just got an invitation to your wedding.

00:47:15We have to stop torturing each other.

00:47:19Look, I don't blame me for the situation with my mother.

00:47:23But if you want to be with Victor, I won't let you.

00:47:26As long as I don't break the contract, you can't leave.

00:47:34Watch me.

00:47:37No way.

00:47:43Let go!

00:47:43Let's talk.

00:47:54Let's talk.

00:47:54These are the documents from the STM and W Corporation project.

00:48:12They might help you find the murderer.

00:48:14What do you mean?

00:48:19I found out that you left John because you suspected me of killing your parents.

00:48:24Instead of because I told you to.

00:48:27Don't worry.

00:48:29Even without the information that you provided, I was going to leave.

00:48:32There's one other thing I have to ask of you.

00:48:39This is a critical time for STM Corporation succession.

00:48:44Help John secure the investment for the project with Company S.

00:48:48The STM CEO position is very important to us.

00:48:54Consider it my compensation for the hardback cost you.

00:48:56EM's business investment plan report this time has been done well.

00:49:07It includes a detailed risk prevention strategy.

00:49:11This time, I'm going to expose your true face, you wicked woman.

00:49:16Let's take a look.

00:49:16Now, our friendship is always just kind of a partnership.

00:49:34Stop!

00:49:35This is defamation!

00:49:38Turn this off!

00:49:40I didn't expect John's fiancé to be so unscrupulous.

00:49:43I don't think we'll be doing business.

00:49:44It had been you behind the scenes this whole time.

00:49:51No!

00:49:52No, no, no.

00:49:53This is digital manipulation.

00:49:56This isn't me.

00:49:57You're still trying to argue at this point?

00:49:59John, John, you have to believe me.

00:50:02It was her.

00:50:03It had to be her.

00:50:04She doesn't want you to get the investment.

00:50:05I had nothing to do with this.

00:50:07I took all of these.

00:50:09You're lying.

00:50:10You little brat.

00:50:12I'm going to kill you!

00:50:14And I just thought you were being temperamental.

00:50:27But I didn't expect you to be so malicious.

00:50:29I won't lie to be deceived by you for so long.

00:50:34Sam, take that videotape and her to the police.

00:50:38Let her get a taste of prison.

00:50:41Stop!

00:50:41Yes.

00:50:43No!

00:50:43Stop!

00:50:47Caroline, I'm sorry.

00:50:50No, it's...

00:50:51It's okay.

00:50:52Caroline, I want to apologize for all of my past actions.

00:50:59You were just doing what any mother would do.

00:51:02Don't worry, I'll keep my promise.

00:51:05Let me say I'm sorry.

00:51:07Please, come to our home.

00:51:09Yeah, Caroline.

00:51:11Please give my mother and I a chance to apologize.

00:51:13Why?

00:51:14I want to go.

00:51:17We'll come by tomorrow night.

00:51:19Okay.

00:51:22This child looks exactly like John did when he was young.

00:51:26I must find out whose child he is.

00:51:34Try this.

00:51:36It's chocolate cake.

00:51:38Oh, no, no, um, Leo's allergic to chocolate.

00:51:41Just like me.

00:51:43Caroline, is Leo really Ben's child?

00:51:46Uh, yes.

00:51:52Thank you, grandma.

00:51:53Eat up, eat up.

00:51:55Good boy.

00:51:56Well, math geniuses love pizza.

00:51:59And so do I.

00:52:01Right, Leo?

00:52:02That's right.

00:52:03If it weren't for Elena, would our ending be different?

00:52:08Congratulations, being released on bail.

00:52:16Thank you, Victor.

00:52:18As I told you a long time ago, John doesn't love you.

00:52:23And if it wasn't for me posting your bail, you'd be still rotting in jail.

00:52:27I'm going to make those two pay.

00:52:29Finally, you're coming through your senses.

00:52:42You've been short on money lately, haven't you?

00:52:46I'll tell you what.

00:52:48You do something for me,

00:52:50and I'll give you five million dollars.

00:52:55Cheers.

00:52:55John, you're forcing me into this.

00:53:09Caroline, can you stay?

00:53:12I need you, and I can't be without you.

00:53:14Don't worry.

00:53:16I won't help Victor.

00:53:17I need to find the real murderer of my parents.

00:53:22I don't have time for your matters.

00:53:24I can help you.

00:53:27I can handle it myself.

00:53:32Caroline.

00:53:34Boss, our R&D data from our AI project has been leaked.

00:53:38How could it have leaked?

00:53:46Do you know what company has access to the data?

00:53:48It's a company run by Victor.

00:53:50But most importantly...

00:53:52Go ahead, say it.

00:53:55Elena.

00:53:56She's been released on bail,

00:53:57and it seems she's the one who held up Victor.

00:54:00Of course Elena is involved in this.

00:54:02Is that a problem?

00:54:03When I was kidnapped,

00:54:06Elena told me that someone else had murdered my parents.

00:54:10And then Victor saved me.

00:54:12It's not a coincidence that they're together now.

00:54:15And if I can remember correctly,

00:54:17Victor was the person behind the scenes

00:54:19on the construction project

00:54:20that SDM collaborate on with W Company.

00:54:23There must be some connection.

00:54:25Victor was behind the scenes this whole time.

00:54:27I always thought someone else was in charge of that project.

00:54:30Now it all makes sense.

00:54:34Victor is probably the real murderer of my parents.

00:54:40Why would he do that?

00:54:42If it only had to do with the internal strife of the successors,

00:54:46what does that have to do with my parents?

00:54:53John, do you like the first big gift I've given you?

00:54:57Get to it.

00:54:58If you're willing to marry me,

00:55:05I'll stop.

00:55:06And I'll tell you all of Victor's company's business secrets.

00:55:10How about that?

00:55:12Elena,

00:55:13your actions are so childish.

00:55:15Trying to threaten me with this?

00:55:17John,

00:55:18you'll regret it.

00:55:22Was that Elena?

00:55:23What did she want?

00:55:24Nothing.

00:55:25She was just trying to manipulate me.

00:55:26I have to stay

00:55:29and find out if Victor is the real murderer of my parents.

00:55:33I'm going to put him in jail

00:55:34and make sure he receives the punishment he deserves.

00:55:37Now,

00:55:38the most important thing

00:55:39is to get in this crisis.

00:55:41Our R&D project did three years.

00:55:43If we want to find new talent to redevelop,

00:55:46I'm afraid it's too late.

00:55:47I need to think about what to do next.

00:55:51Our company is facing being taken over as it is.

00:55:57You guys forgot about me.

00:56:00Leo?

00:56:01Rebecca, what are you doing here?

00:56:03Didn't dad hold an AI competition

00:56:16to find some core R&D personnel

00:56:18for the artificial intelligence project?

00:56:20Leo insisted.

00:56:22He is concerned that EM is in trouble

00:56:25and he wants to help.

00:56:27Leo?

00:56:28Do you really think you can handle the help?

00:56:31I believe in Leo.

00:56:32I believe in myself too.

00:56:34I don't know how you, little kid,

00:56:35can help, but he doesn't hurt Trent.

00:56:37Come on.

00:56:38Let's go.

00:56:42Leo is already handling things at the R&D center.

00:56:45We can't just sit idly by.

00:56:47What do you mean?

00:56:47I am a shareholder at SCM.

00:56:53Here is a key to the data center.

00:56:57Take it and let the truth come to light.

00:57:13You need a resolution from all shareholders

00:57:15sent to the database?

00:57:16Do you have it?

00:57:17You're just an administrator.

00:57:19I am a shareholder.

00:57:21If anything were to happen,

00:57:22I don't think you can take the risk.

00:57:24So step aside.

00:57:39Found it.

00:57:40It turns out there was a problem with the project

00:57:49that collaborated with STM back then.

00:57:52My parents wanted to report

00:57:54the person in charge of embezzling

00:57:56the funds for the project,

00:57:58which led to their silence.

00:58:00Victor destroyed this footage from the scene

00:58:02and lured my mom to the site

00:58:04to make her look like the murderer.

00:58:05What a vicious method.

00:58:07Let go of me.

00:58:15Let go of me.

00:58:16Victor, what are you doing?

00:58:17Oh, I suspect there are suspicious individuals

00:58:20invading the records room,

00:58:22attempting to leak out STM's trade sequence.

00:58:27What?

00:58:28As one of the heirs,

00:58:29is there anything wrong with me reviewing the documents?

00:58:32No, but of course not.

00:58:33You can investigate as much as you want.

00:58:35I was talking about her.

00:58:36Without proof, it's defamation.

00:58:41Why in such a hurry?

00:58:43It's just a routine interrogation, right?

00:58:46You're not guilty, are you?

00:58:49Afraid to cooperate with the law?

00:58:51I'm not afraid of anything.

00:58:53I hope you don't regret your actions.

00:58:56Officers, take her out of here.

00:59:01Call Ben.

00:59:01He'll know what to do.

00:59:02Evan, let's go.

00:59:10You know, I would consider that proposal I made on the phone.

00:59:13If you do,

00:59:15I may consider letting Caroline go.

00:59:18Get out of here.

00:59:26Get out of here.

00:59:27Victor is paying the police.

00:59:33We can't let him get away with this.

00:59:35We've got to find a way to get Caroline out of there.

00:59:41Caroline's been arrested.

00:59:42She needs your help.

00:59:43Let's meet up at E.M.

00:59:47Victor's definitely trying to pin everything on Caroline.

00:59:49What we need to do is gather all the evidence we can

00:59:51to prove Caroline's innocence and defend her in court.

00:59:54And the problem is,

00:59:55Victor doesn't leave a trace.

00:59:57Every crime leaves a trace.

00:59:59And Victor won't be an exception.

01:00:02Do you know the relationship between Robert and Caroline?

01:00:04We've been friends for years,

01:00:05but what's that got to do with proving Caroline's innocence?

01:00:07Well, when Elena framed Caroline

01:00:08for the problematic evaluation report,

01:00:11they were dealing with an executive named Peter.

01:00:13What do you imply?

01:00:14Well, at the time,

01:00:16he and Elena had a good relationship.

01:00:19Perhaps,

01:00:20he could be the breakthrough.

01:00:22I'll call Robert and set up a meeting with you two.

01:00:27If it weren't for Caroline being in prison,

01:00:35I want to consider meeting with you.

01:00:37Go ahead.

01:00:38What do you want to know?

01:00:39There's an executive in your company named Peter.

01:00:42Where is he?

01:00:43After what he and Elena did,

01:00:45which severely affected the company's interests,

01:00:49I fired him.

01:00:51And he ended up in prison for robbery.

01:00:53Robbery?

01:00:55His mother is severely ill,

01:00:56and after leaving S Group,

01:00:58he didn't have enough money to pay for his mother's illness.

01:01:01He took the wrong path.

01:01:07Once this is over,

01:01:08I'm planning on proposing to Caroline.

01:01:10I hope you won't stand in the way of that.

01:01:22What do you want with me?

01:01:23Do you know Victor?

01:01:25No.

01:01:25No, I don't know him.

01:01:27You're lying.

01:01:28You know,

01:01:29I know about your mother.

01:01:30Don't worry.

01:01:33I've arranged for the best cardiologist for her.

01:01:35She'll be fine.

01:01:37All right.

01:01:38So what do you want from me?

01:01:39The trial is tomorrow.

01:01:41I want you to have the judge everything you know.

01:01:44I'll vouch for you,

01:01:45get you bail,

01:01:46and then arrange a high-paying job for you.

01:01:52Sorry.

01:01:53Fine.

01:01:55I'll do it.

01:02:00Caroline.

01:02:11Defendant,

01:02:12the plaintiff hereby declares

01:02:14that you have sold many company secrets.

01:02:17Do you plead guilty?

01:02:18I do not plead guilty,

01:02:20Your Honor.

01:02:20I did not do it.

01:02:22Do you have evidence to prove this?

01:02:23I was involved with the companies that are mentioned in the case,

01:02:29but I have not entered internally any of the client offices.

01:02:35How could I have leaked the secrets?

01:02:38When cooperating with EM,

01:02:40you were placed in the internal offices.

01:02:43Not long after,

01:02:44core research from EM's artificial intelligence project was leaked.

01:02:49As a former director of EM,

01:02:52and as Victor's current employee,

01:02:54I have reason to suspect that you are the one who leaked the secrets.

01:03:00But I don't have the key to EM's database.

01:03:03You do.

01:03:04Yeah, I got him.

01:03:05Plus,

01:03:06I have video evidence showing you entering the database.

01:03:11So...

01:03:11Wait,

01:03:12given this evidence,

01:03:13it's conclusive.

01:03:14I am now...

01:03:14Wait!

01:03:16We have another witness who can prove that Caroline did not release trade secrets.

01:03:25Where is this witness?

01:03:34My name is Peter Russell,

01:03:36and I can prove that Caroline has committed no crimes.

01:03:39What evidence do you have?

01:03:44Victor and Elena have threatened me and my mother to sabotage Caroline in the evaluation meetings.

01:03:54And I overheard Elena plotting to frame Caroline.

01:04:00And I have her home recording.

01:04:03What is this?

01:04:04This is AI.

01:04:05This is fake.

01:04:06Plus,

01:04:07he's a criminal.

01:04:08He can't be trusted.

01:04:09All videos presented in this court are original.

01:04:12I have been tested for authenticity.

01:04:14I hereby declare the defendant is not guilty.

01:04:17Release her.

01:04:19Wonderful work.

01:04:21Caroline!

01:04:22Go to hell!

01:04:25Ben!

01:04:30Ben?

01:04:32Ben, stay with me!

01:04:33Ben!

01:04:36I'm sorry.

01:04:37I'm sorry.

01:04:38I'm sorry.

01:04:39Ben.

01:04:40Ben.

01:04:43Ben.

01:04:44Not the way.

01:04:44Ben!

01:04:45Ben!

01:04:45No!

01:04:46No!

01:04:46Ben!

01:04:46No!

01:04:47Ben!

01:04:47No!

01:04:50No!

01:04:51No!

01:05:01Ben, you are a hero.

01:05:03Uncle Ben, you are a good man.

01:05:13I will see you in heaven.

01:05:19Ben, rest assured, your death will not be in vain.

01:05:25I will punish them with the law.

01:05:28Leo has already broken through the core problem of A.I.

01:05:31It's time to let Victor taste the pain of losing everything.

01:05:35The licensing should be done in about a week and one second.

01:05:50What's the matter?

01:05:51Why do you feel so flustered?

01:05:52Hey, John has enlisted the help of a master's in mathematical algorithms who has already broken

01:05:56through to the key research and development of artificial intelligence.

01:05:58I mean, our stock prices have plummeted to the critical point, and he's already here

01:06:01with the authorities to investigate the company.

01:06:03Thank God, I thought it was something serious.

01:06:05I already transferred all the funds.

01:06:07They won't be able to find anything.

01:06:08Well, they also found evidence of you murdering an employee to embezzle that project fund years

01:06:13ago.

01:06:14Uh, I'll call you right back.

01:06:16Boss, you should flee now.

01:06:19Did you do what I told you?

01:06:20The doctor's been paid.

01:06:21I mean, the files are ready.

01:06:38They must have gotten wind of it and fled early.

01:06:40Hey, Doc, do you have it?

01:06:51This is all I can do for you.

01:06:53If they find out, I could lose my job.

01:07:10Leo?

01:07:13Leo?

01:07:16He's not here.

01:07:23If you want Leo to live, come to the warehouse on the outskirts.

01:07:30What happened?

01:07:32Victor has taken, Leo.

01:07:34What?

01:07:35Don't worry.

01:07:36I'll get him back.

01:07:38I'm coming with you.

01:07:40It's here.

01:07:44Let's do this.

01:07:48Leo!

01:07:49Hey!

01:07:52Victor, please.

01:07:55I'll do anything you want.

01:07:57Just don't hurt Leo.

01:07:59It's mesmerizing seeing you think me.

01:08:02Victor, take it out on me.

01:08:04Don't hurt Leo.

01:08:06John, you're always better.

01:08:09Everything since we were little kids.

01:08:11Even Elena likes you.

01:08:14Why?

01:08:17You have everything.

01:08:18And then at the end, I got nothing?

01:08:21Victor!

01:08:22Calm down.

01:08:24Let's just talk this through.

01:08:26John, no, no, no.

01:08:27There's no going back.

01:08:29You see, you made my life miserable.

01:08:32Now, it's my turn to make yours miserable.

01:08:35You're gonna lose everything!

01:08:39Victor, Victor, please.

01:08:40Don't do anything impulsive.

01:08:41Elena is using you.

01:08:42She's exploiting your love.

01:08:43Victor.

01:08:44Victor, do you want the CO position to STM?

01:08:46If you put down the gun, I will step down.

01:08:48Stop fucking lying to me!

01:08:49You think I'm gonna believe your lies?

01:08:50No.

01:08:51I'm gonna give you two choices.

01:08:52Shut up!

01:08:53Either you kill Caroline, or I'm gonna kill your son.

01:08:54You only can't say one.

01:08:55I'm gonna give you two choices.

01:08:56Shut up!

01:08:57Either you kill Caroline, or I'm gonna kill your son.

01:09:00My son!

01:09:01You only can't say one.

01:09:02What are you saying?

01:09:03My kid?

01:09:04You didn't know Leo is your son?

01:09:07I'm gonna kill his son.

01:09:09You only can't say one.

01:09:11What are you saying?

01:09:12Shut up!

01:09:16Either you kill Caroline,

01:09:19or I'm gonna kill your son.

01:09:21You only can't say one.

01:09:24What are you saying?

01:09:26My kid?

01:09:28You didn't know Leo's your son?

01:09:30How fucking pathetic is that?

01:09:32Caroline, is this true?

01:09:33Is he really my son?

01:09:35You've been deceived too, haven't you?

01:09:37That's right, and it doesn't feel good, does it,

01:09:39to be the one who's the fool, now does it?

01:09:42Yes, yes, Leo, it's your son.

01:09:45Please, you have to choose Leo, save him, he's too young.

01:09:49Please, no.

01:09:51Since you won't make a choice, I'll make it for you.

01:10:08Leo!

01:10:10Leo, are you all right?

01:10:12It's okay.

01:10:12I'm sorry.

01:10:21John?

01:10:22John, are you okay?

01:10:30He's lost too much blood.

01:10:32He's gone.

01:10:33You need to go to a hospital, now.

01:10:44Once will we find him.

01:10:46He's lucky.

01:10:47I thought it was gonna give him to us.

01:10:49This is all my fault.

01:10:51If I hadn't asked for revenge, none of this would have happened.

01:10:55You can't blame yourself.

01:10:56You blame Victor.

01:11:02Who's the family of the patient?

01:11:03I am.

01:11:04The patient's in critical condition and needs a family member's signature immediately.

01:11:08I'll sign.

01:11:09We'll do our best.

01:11:09We were able to remove the bullet from the patient.

01:11:10I removed the general warden.

01:11:11Oh, thank you, Doctor.

01:11:12John.

01:11:13John.

01:11:14I hope to God.

01:11:15Thank you, Doctor.

01:11:16That you wake up soon, we are okay.

01:11:25I hope to God.

01:11:35John...

01:11:41I hope to God that you wake up soon.

01:11:45Leo can't be with that father.

01:11:57You gotta eat something. Don't eat anything all day.

01:12:00You can't eat.

01:12:03John waits.

01:12:06I'll wait for him to wake up.

01:12:11He's awake?

01:12:16John!

01:12:17John, you're awake!

01:12:20How's Leo?

01:12:22Leo! Leo's okay.

01:12:24He's a little bit scared, but it's nothing serious.

01:12:28I want to get you and Leo a home.

01:12:30Would you like that?

01:12:36I want to get you and Leo a home.

01:12:38Would you like that?

01:12:41John!

01:12:42John!

01:12:43I have fantastic news!

01:12:45Leo is your son!

01:12:47Here's the paternity papers!

01:12:49I already know that.

01:12:52You knew he was your son?

01:12:55How could you not tell me something so important?

01:12:59I just found out myself, Mom.

01:13:01What?

01:13:02What?

01:13:03Leo?

01:13:04Let's give them some space, okay?

01:13:12You're okay, right?

01:13:16Well, since you now have a son, why not propose to his mother?

01:13:22I was going to propose until you barged in.

01:13:27Oh.

01:13:33I was going to propose until you barged in.

01:13:36Oh!

01:13:37Oh!

01:13:40Well, carry on!

01:13:47Rebecca, it's getting late.

01:13:49I'll take care of John for the night.

01:13:51Caroline.

01:13:52You still haven't answered my question from earlier.

01:14:05I can't.

01:14:07Why?

01:14:08You can see, Leo, all you want.

01:14:10That's your right.

01:14:12But I can't marry you.

01:14:15Did I do something wrong?

01:14:16If I did, just tell me that I can change.

01:14:18There are some things I can forgive.

01:14:22But there are others that I can never forget.

01:14:26John, we've...

01:14:28Mom, why would you accept Dad's proposal?

01:14:31Are you still mad at him?

01:14:33Leo, this is an adult conversation.

01:14:37Mommy can handle this.

01:14:39Grandma will take you back home.

01:14:42Rebecca, do you mind taking Leo back?

01:14:44I need to have serious talk with John.

01:14:47I need to have serious talk with John.

01:14:59Ten years ago, I left for two reasons.

01:15:04The first reason was that I mistook your mother as the murderer of my parents.

01:15:10And the other reason...

01:15:14Why wouldn't you want to marry me?

01:15:17Your mother told me that Elena was your fiancé.

01:15:22I saw you and Elena in the bedroom together.

01:15:28I knew you had feelings for her.

01:15:31I've never slept with Elena. I've only ever been with you.

01:15:34But I saw the man in the bedroom. It was clearly you.

01:15:39No.

01:15:41I was planning your proposal at that time.

01:15:46See?

01:15:48Look.

01:15:50You must have seen Victor.

01:15:53He likes to impersonate me.

01:15:55So they've been plotting this since the beginning.

01:16:01I always thought it was you.

01:16:04So...

01:16:07Caroline...

01:16:11Will you marry me now?

01:16:15Mom, just say yes.

01:16:24No.

01:16:25You're not.

01:16:27No.

01:16:29No.

01:16:31No.

01:16:34No.

01:16:36No.

01:16:38No.

01:16:40No.

01:16:42No.

01:16:44No.

01:16:46No.

01:16:48No.

01:16:50No.

01:16:51Mom and Dad, Merry Christmas.

01:17:21Merry Christmas.
