Short filmTranscript
00:22I'm the only engineer on earth who can fix a failing military satellite in orbit.
00:26That's why the government assigned me a jet.
00:28Special permit tail number, 0001.
00:31The second it hits the system, runway's clear.
00:34Any airport.
00:35Any country.
00:36We land first.
00:37We take off first.
00:38Sometimes we even get fighter escorts.
00:40The day I got the jet, I parked it in my fiancé Ethan Vale's private hangar.
00:44He said he'd take care of it.
00:46Yeah.
00:46Big mistake.
00:47Today, a classified satellite glitched out.
00:50If I don't get there now, the entire defense grid goes down.
00:53So I floor it to the hangar.
00:54I run for the stairs.
00:55A woman I've never seen before leans out of my jet.
00:58Like she owns it.
00:59She's in a couture gown.
01:01Six inch heels.
01:02Old money cosplay.
01:03Glossy hair.
01:04Diamond drop earrings.
01:06Blood red lips.
01:07She looks me up and down.
01:08Oh.
01:09New crew.
01:10She says.
01:11Perfect.
01:12Fly me to Milan first.
01:14I need a new bag.
01:15Then swing by Switzerland and grab my friend.
01:18And don't make me wait.
01:20I'm not patient.
01:21I stare at her.
01:22Then I laugh once.
01:24Dry.
01:24Lady.
01:25This is my plane.
01:26I have an emergency call.
01:28Get off.
01:29She lifts one brow.
01:31Smirks.
01:31Your plane.
01:32She says.
01:33Ethan keeps this jet for me.
01:35Ask anyone around here.
01:37Before I can answer, the lead pilot walks over.
01:39Mid fifties.
01:41Stiff suit.
01:42Fake smile.
01:42The kind who folds when money walks in.
01:44He gives me a flat look.
01:46Everyone knows Chloe gets whatever she wants.
01:49He says.
01:50If she's flying, we fly.
01:51My chest goes cold.
01:53Ethan.
01:53That lying bastard.
01:55He used my jet to fly his side chick around the world.
01:57On a government jet.
01:59That's not messy.
02:00That's federal prison.
02:01I look past Chloe's face.
02:03Then into the cabin.
02:04Champagne flutes.
02:05Luxury shopping bags.
02:07A silk stocking thrown over the seat.
02:09Like she turned my jet into her private hotel suite.
02:11I lock eyes with her.
02:12Using this plane without clearance is a federal crime.
02:15I say.
02:16You steal a federal aircraft, you go to jail.
02:19You block a defense mission?
02:21That's worse than jail.
02:22I take one step forward.
02:24If you leave this plane right now, I can still bury this.
02:27Chloe bursts out laughing.
02:28She covers her mouth.
02:30Like I just told a joke.
02:31Captain.
02:32She says, turning to the pilot.
02:34Where did this psycho come from?
02:36He gives me a look full of contempt.
02:37Probably ground staff.
02:39He says.
02:40New girl.
02:41No clue how things work.
02:43Then he points to the door.
02:44Move.
02:45You're holding up Chloe's trip to Milan.
02:47I check my watch.
02:48Three hours.
02:49After that, the satellite is gone.
02:51And there's more.
02:52Ethan's grandfather is alive because his cardiac monitor runs on that same satellite link.
02:56And I'm the only one who can fix it.
02:58If the signal drops, his medical team goes blind.
03:01If his heart stops, nobody gets a second shot.
03:04I don't have a choice.
03:05So I stop talking.
03:06I step around Chloe, head straight for the cockpit, and fire the system up.
03:10She screams.
03:11Are you insane?
03:12She lunges for the kill switch.
03:14You do not take off without my permission.
03:16The nose tips hard.
03:17Almost hits the hanger beam.
03:19I shove her back.
03:20Grab the controls.
03:21Steady the jet.
03:23Then I look at her.
03:24Buckle up.
03:24I say.
03:25Or get thrown around.
03:27She opens her mouth again, but Ethan's security team is already storming up the stairs.
03:31Three men.
03:32Black suits.
03:33Thick necks.
03:34Empty eyes.
03:35They grab me and drag me out of the cockpit.
03:37One of them barks.
03:38Do you even know who she is?
03:40Yes.
03:40Another laughs.
03:41Chloe isn't just an intern.
03:43She's basically royalty at Vale Global.
03:45The third cracks his knuckles.
03:47You picked the wrong person to mess with.
03:49I pull out my secure sat phone.
03:51Matte black.
03:52Military only.
03:53My last clean line to HQ.
03:55This is your last warning.
03:57I say.
03:57Step back, or I call the feds.
03:59That wipes the smile off Chloe's face.
04:01She didn't think I'd push back.
04:03Her heels hit the metal steps.
04:05Sharp.
04:06Loud.
04:06Loud.
04:06Then she gets right in my face.
04:08Her perfume is sharp.
04:10Expensive.
04:10Nasty.
04:11Do you even know who I am?
04:12She says.
04:13Ethan told me.
04:15On this plane, I make the rules.
04:17Then she swings.
04:18Fast.
04:19Her ring cuts my cheek.
04:20Hot pain.
04:21Blood.
04:22Throw this crazy bitch out.
04:24She snaps.
04:25The guards freeze for half a second.
04:26Some of them know me.
04:27That should've mattered.
04:29It doesn't.
04:30They choose her.
04:31The lead guy reaches for my shoulder.
04:32I slip sideways.
04:33Hit the emergency key on the sat phone.
04:36Then one of them slams into me.
04:37The phone flies out of my hand.
04:39Hits the ground.
04:40Screen shattered.
04:41Chloe picks it up.
04:42Looks at it.
04:43Then stomps on it with her heel.
04:45Once.
04:45Twice.
04:46Crunch.
04:47She tosses it in the trash.
04:48Now.
04:49She says.
04:50Get on your knees.
04:51Apologize.
04:52Or I make sure you never work in this industry again.
04:55I stare at the broken pieces.
04:56My stomach drops.
04:57That phone was my only direct line.
04:59No backup.
05:00No time.
05:01I want Ethan.
05:02Now.
05:03Chloe smiles like she's been waiting for that.
05:05She taps her phone and opens a video call.
05:08Ethan answers from some rooftop restaurant.
05:10City lights behind him.
05:11White table cloth.
05:12Crystal glass.
05:13Perfect hair.
05:14Perfect suit.
05:15Still a snake.
05:16Ethan.
05:17Chloe purrs.
05:18Boy sweet.
05:19Like poison.
05:20There's a crazy woman here trying to hijack your plane.
05:22She says she's calling the feds on me.
05:24He frowns at the screen.
05:26Then he sees me.
05:27For one second.
05:28His face changes.
05:29He knows exactly who I am.
05:30Then it's gone.
05:31Cold again.
05:32Claire.
05:33He says.
05:34Already annoyed.
05:35What are you doing now?
05:36Your intern hijacked my federal aircraft.
05:39Director Shah, head of the space agency, is my mother.
05:42Since when does Chloe get to call her mom?
05:44And engagement?
05:44Ethan still doesn't get it.
05:46I wasn't marrying up.
05:48Ethan.
05:49Director Shah is my mother.
05:51Not Chloe's.
05:52Watch what you say.
05:54Every minute you waste.
05:56That satellite gets closer to failure.
05:59If it goes down, the entire defense grid is compromised.
06:02Tonight is the only repair window.
06:04Miss it, and the system stays exposed for months.
06:07Miss it, and his grandfather dies too.
06:09Oh?
06:10Really?
06:11Claire, I'm so scared.
06:13Stop using these scare tactics on me.
06:14He says, voice dripping mockery.
06:16I checked on you.
06:17Sure.
06:18You work on satellites.
06:19But you're not the only engineer out there.
06:21So stop acting like the world stops without you.
06:23My chest tightens.
06:25I open my mouth.
06:26He doesn't let me speak.
06:27I already had Chloe call a friend.
06:29He's flying out now.
06:30Best engineer in the world.
06:32He'll handle it.
06:33Your plane's busy today.
06:35Chloe's got more important things to do.
06:36For one second, I honestly think I misheard him.
06:40Best engineer in the world?
06:41That's me.
06:42There is no backup.
06:43Never was.
06:44I take a slow breath.
06:46If that satellite fails, can you handle that?
06:50It's not going down.
06:51He snaps.
06:52Then he hangs up.
06:53One of the maids standing nearby folds her arms and smirks.
06:56You heard him, Mr. Vale was crystal clear.
06:59So don't walk in here like you run this place.
07:01Chloe stands up like she owns the place.
07:03She's twirling the cabin key around one finger.
07:05Number 0001.
07:07My number.
07:08My plane.
07:10You really don't know when to quit, do you?
07:12Ethan put me in charge of the hangar and the plane.
07:14And, maybe now you know, I'm the woman Ethan chose.
07:17I almost laugh.
07:19These people are insane.
07:20If my mother had known what the Valas were really like,
07:22she never would've agreed to this marriage.
07:24Not even for his grandfather's sake.
07:26The second I get that bird stabilized, I'm done with all of him.
07:30Relax.
07:31I don't want your man.
07:33He's all yours.
07:34Then I look her dead in the eye.
07:36For the last time.
07:38Step away from the plane and let me do my job.
07:41Unless you want the feds involved.
07:43That sets her off.
07:44Her face twists.
07:46Oh, don't you talk to me like that.
07:49And don't even think you can threaten me.
07:51She rips a stack of cash from her Hermes bag and slaps it across my face.
07:55Bills hit my cheek.
07:56Fall to the floor.
07:57I could kill you.
07:58And nobody here would say a word.
08:01I don't pick the money up.
08:02I don't answer.
08:03I turn and head for the hangar doors.
08:05I need another way out.
08:06Another way to reach HQ.
08:08A helicopter, a car, anything.
08:10Three steps from the exit, something slams into my lower back.
08:13A brutal kick.
08:14I pitch forward and hit the concrete hard.
08:16Pain explodes through me, white hot, deep, crushing.
08:19It feels like something inside me just tore apart.
08:22I choke.
08:23Then blood spills out of my mouth.
08:24Behind me, heels click against the concrete.
08:27Chloe strolls over and looks down at me like I'm a dress she's deciding whether to buy.
08:30Then she smiles.
08:31You really wanna do your little job that bad?
08:34She crouches.
08:35What if I tie you to the wing?
08:36And let the pilot drag you around the runway a few times?
08:39If you're still alive after that?
08:42I'll let you go save the world.
08:45No, you can't do this.
08:47I try to get up.
08:48I barely make it halfway before two guards slam me back down.
08:51Hard.
08:52They move fast.
08:53Like they've done this before.
08:55Nylon rope bites into my wrists.
08:57Then my ankles.
08:58They tie the other end to the right wing.
09:00I go cold all over.
09:01This is real.
09:02They're really doing it.
09:03I twist and fight, but my body is already giving out.
09:06Chloe bends down and pats my cheek.
09:08Her crystal nails rake across my skin, leaving tiny cuts.
09:11Relax.
09:13You're not gonna die.
09:15Probably.
09:16Then says it like gossip over brunch.
09:17Last month the reporter lasted five minutes before he died.
09:21My blood turns to ice.
09:23She steps back in her heels and motions to the cockpit.
09:25The engines roar to life.
09:27Loud enough to rattle my teeth.
09:29Loud enough to drown out thought.
09:30Go.
09:31The jet starts to move.
09:33The second it clears the hangar, the blast hits me hard.
09:36The airflow rips me off the wing like I weigh nothing.
09:38One second I'm up.
09:39The next, the rope yanks me back.
09:41My back smashes into metal.
09:43I hear something crack.
09:44Or maybe I feel it.
09:45Pain explodes through my ribs.
09:46Blood floods my mouth.
09:48Over the speaker, Chloe's voice cuts through the engine noise.
09:52First lap.
09:54The wind tears at me like a thousand knives.
09:56My shirt tears apart almost instantly.
09:58My skin goes raw.
09:59Then wet.
10:00Then burning.
10:01I grab for a service latch on the wing.
10:03My fingers lock around it.
10:04My nails peel back, one by one.
10:06I want to scream, but I bite it back.
10:08The plane banks.
10:09My body whips outward.
10:10The rope cuts deep into my wrists, deeper with every second.
10:13Blood runs down the rope and splashes across the tarmac behind me.
10:19Second lap.
10:21My vision starts to blur, but my mind is still counting.
10:24Two hours left.
10:25By now, HQ had to be in meltdown.
10:27Secure channels blowing up.
10:29People yelling over each other.
10:30No signal from me.
10:31No solution.
10:32No backup plan.
10:34Then the plane jolts.
10:35Violent.
10:35My thigh is on fire.
10:37The rope has sunk into muscle.
10:38Another minute like this, and my leg rips apart.
10:41Over the speaker, Chloe is laughing.
10:43Half a lap lift.
10:45Look at that.
10:47She's tougher than the reporter.
10:50One last shot.
10:51I wait for the next guest.
10:52Use it.
10:53Throw my leg back toward the wing.
10:55Barely hit it.
10:56My teeth cut through my lip.
10:57The copper taste keeps me awake.
10:59One more second.
11:00Then finally, the jet slows.
11:01Rolls back into the hangar.
11:03By the time it stops.
11:04I'm not even sure I'm still in one piece.
11:06Everything hurts.
11:07Everything is soaked.
11:08I can't even see my skin anymore.
11:10They cut the rope.
11:11I hit the floor like dead weight.
11:12I can't catch myself.
11:14Can't move.
11:14Can barely breathe.
11:16Chloe crutches in front of me.
11:17She tips my chin up with her shoe.
11:19You actually lived.
11:22I force words out through a mouthful of blood.
11:25Can I do the job now?
11:26Her face changes.
11:28Instant rage.
11:29She slaps me so hard my head snaps back against the concrete.
11:32Light bursts across my vision.
11:35You're still sticking to that story.
11:37She grabs my hair and jerks my head up.
11:39Blood runs into my eyes.
11:41Ethan told me everything.
11:43So you can stop acting like some genius trying to save the world?
11:46Then she freezes.
11:47Just stops.
11:48Ethan?
11:49I force my swollen eyes open.
11:51Barely.
11:52Through the blur, I see Mason Reed, Ethan's assistant, rushing into the hangar.
11:56Sharp suit.
11:57Clipboard in hand.
11:58Corporate fixer vibe.
11:59Then he sees me and stops dead.
12:01His whole body locks up.
12:02Miss Jones.
12:03Mr. Vela said to get Claire Hart to HQ immediately.
12:07Chloe's smile drops.
12:08What?
12:09Mason swallows hard.
12:10The satellite drift got worse.
12:12He rushes out.
12:13It's already hitting the defense grid.
12:16They asked for Claire by name.
12:18Chloe goes shrill.
12:19That's a lie!
12:20She lunges for the file in his hand and rips it apart.
12:23Pages are everywhere.
12:24Ethan told me she was a fake!
12:27Mr. Vela must have misunderstood.
12:29The situation changed.
12:31This is urgent.
12:32A misunderstanding!
12:34She grabs my hair and yanks my head up.
12:36Pain rips through my scalp.
12:38Look at her.
12:39Does she look like she knows how to fix a satellite?
12:42My vision is already fading.
12:44I can barely make out Mason's face.
12:46White.
12:47Stiff.
12:48Panicked.
12:49His fists are clenched so tight his knuckles go bone pale.
12:51Here's Jones.
12:53Please calm down.
12:56This is way bigger than any of us.
12:58It's a national security issue.
13:00Mr. Valey's grandfather is involved too.
13:04National security?
13:06Then she laughs.
13:07Soft at first.
13:09Then it turns ugly.
13:10The kind of laugh that makes your skin crawl.
13:12You know what the real threat is?
13:14She lets go of my hair.
13:16I drop hard.
13:17Then I hear a cap twist open.
13:19I know that sound.
13:20Her eye drops.
13:21She carries them everywhere.
13:23But something is off.
13:24Even through the blur.
13:25I catch the liquid inside.
13:26It's not clear.
13:27It's pale blue.
13:29Wrong.
13:29Chemical.
13:30Ice slides down my spine.
13:32She crouches beside me.
13:33I heard what you do depends on your eyes.
13:36So what happens?
13:38If you can't see?
13:40Stop!
13:40Too late.
13:42The liquid hits my eyes.
13:43And the world turns to fire.
13:45I scream.
13:45Not like a person.
13:46Like an animal being ripped open.
13:48It feels like a thousand needles drilling straight through my eyes.
13:51Then deeper.
13:51Into the nerves.
13:52Into the back of my skull.
13:54Burning.
13:54Melting.
13:55Eating through me.
13:56I claw at my face.
13:57My hands come away slick.
13:58Wet.
13:59Thick.
13:59Wrong.
14:00I can feel tissue breaking down under my fingers.
14:02My body folds in on itself.
14:04Convulsing.
14:05I choke on blood and vomit.
14:06Everything is pain.
14:07Everything is heat.
14:08Everything goes black.
14:10Chloe!
14:12What the hell do you think you're doing?
14:14But Chloe just laughs.
14:15Still sweet.
14:16Still calm.
14:18What are you gonna do about it?
14:23Ethan's going to marry me.
14:26My thoughts start to come apart.
14:28The pain is too big.
14:29Too loud.
14:30Too deep.
14:30But through all of it.
14:31One thing is clear.
14:32Without my sight.
14:33I'm done.
14:34No more in orbit repairs.
14:35No more satellite work.
14:39Without me.
14:40That satellite is lost.
14:42The whole defense system goes blind.
14:44And Ethan's grandfather dies.
14:53I'm shaking so hard I can barely move.
14:55Blood and sweat soak my hands.
14:56Then my fingers brush the emergency locator clips to my waist.
15:00Tiny.
15:00Cold.
15:01Hidden.
15:01My last resort.
15:02A direct line for the worst case scenario.
15:04If I hit it, a response team would lock onto my signal and be here in minutes.
15:08I'm on it.
15:08Take in one shredded breath.
15:09Pull together whatever is left of me.
15:11And press it.
15:16Looking for this honey?
15:17Your little eldest boy?
15:19She kicks the locator across the concrete.
15:21Her heel grinds into my fingers.
15:22Bone snaps.
15:24My world goes gray.
15:25Then, the heavy hangar doors slam open.
15:27Fast footsteps.
15:28Shouting.
15:28Where is Claire?
15:30That voice.
15:31Ethan.
15:32So he finally came.
15:33Chloe flips the switch.
15:35Instant tears.
15:35She runs to him.
15:37Clings to his arm.
15:38Ethan!
15:38Thank god you're here.
15:40This psycho tried to hijack the jet.
15:42She's been pretending to be some kind of expert just to get to you.
15:45Ethan looks past her.
15:47He looks at me.
15:47For a second, his hand shakes.
15:49His face goes blank.
15:50You did this to her.
15:52She attacked me first.
15:54I just...
15:55You know...
15:56I had to stop her.
15:58You don't want your bride walking down the aisle looking like this.
16:02Do you?
16:03Do whatever makes you happy.
16:04Ethan looks at her.
16:05He strokes her hair.
16:07Gentle.
16:07Devoted.
16:08The words hit like a blade.
16:09I thought he'd save me.
16:10But he chose her while I was bleeding on the floor.
16:12That whole lot of theirs, they're just birds of a feather.
16:15Flocking together in their vileness.
16:17If I live to see the sun rise again,
16:19I'll make them pay.
16:21Ethan grabs my collar.
16:22Yanks me up like a rag doll.
16:24Get on that jet.
16:26One hour.
16:27You're coming with me to fix that satellite.
16:30If my grandfather dies,
16:32I'll make sure you go down with him.
16:34I stumble.
16:35My head lurches back.
16:36Fresh blood runs down my face.
16:38Ethan.
16:39I force my head up.
16:41Lift my face into the light.
16:42Look at me.
16:43His eyes lock on mine.
16:45He finally sees it.
16:46The raw, ruined mess of my eyes.
16:48My fingers, white bone showing through the skin.
16:50He lets go.
16:51What?
16:51Staggers back.
16:54Your eyes.
16:55I try to smile.
16:56Gone.
16:56Ethan.
16:58She blinded me.
16:59Chloe just laughs.
17:00No shame.
17:02That's what you get for trying to steal me.
17:05A blind engineer?
17:07She's useless now.
17:08Ethan goes pale.
17:09He looks at Chloe.
17:11For the first time, he looked terrified.
17:13Then, a siren blares.
17:15The radio on Ethan's bell crackles to life.
17:17Sir.
17:18It's your grandfather.
17:20He's in cardiac arrest.
17:22We're losing him.
17:23The backup engineer was a fraud.
17:25He just crashed the entire system.
17:28There's only one person left who can fix this.
17:31We need Claire Hart.
17:32Now.
17:33Ethan goes still.
17:34Then he turns on Chloe.
17:36Who the hell was that engineer?
17:37Chloe's smug face crumbles.
17:39I.
17:39I don't know.
17:41My mother recommended him herself.
17:43The sound cracks through the hanger.
17:45Chloe hits the floor.
17:47For the first time, she looks small.
17:49She stares up at him, hand on her burning cheek.
17:51Ethan.
17:52You hit me?
17:53Over this.
17:54That is my grandfather.
17:55Ethan screams.
17:56His voice is raw.
17:57Pure rage.
17:58If he dies, I swear to God, you're next.
18:01Chloe goes pale.
18:02Then, her face twists.
18:04Vile.
18:05Desperate.
18:05It's a setup.
18:06It's her.
18:07She did this.
18:08She crawls to Ethan.
18:10Grabs his legs.
18:11My mother is Director Shaw.
18:12She doesn't hire idiots.
18:14Ethan looks at me.
18:15He looks wild.
18:16Director Shaw doesn't make mistakes.
18:18And neither does her team.
18:19He looms over me.
18:20So tell me what you did, Claire?
18:22Me?
18:23I cough, blood spilling down my chin.
18:25You blinded me.
18:27You broke my hands.
18:28What do you think I did?
18:30Liar.
18:31Chloe shrieks.
18:32She lunges.
18:33Grabs my hair.
18:34She slams my head against the concrete.
18:35The world flashes red.
18:37Enough.
18:38Ethan barks.
18:39I look up.
18:40I think he's finally going to stop it.
18:42But he takes off his suit jacket and slowly rolls up his sleeves.
18:45Don't touch her face.
18:46He says coldly.
18:47We may still need to explain this.
18:49Chloe smiles like she's been waiting for this.
18:52She grabs a rusted iron pipe from the floor.
18:54She swings.
18:56Miney gives with a sickening crack.
18:57I try to scream, but nothing comes out.
19:00Pain rips through my leg as something breaks deeper.
19:02Talk.
19:03Chloe screams.
19:04She drives her heel into my shattered knee.
19:06Did you crash the satellite out of spite?
19:08Answer me.
19:09Everything is going dark.
19:11Ethan kneels down.
19:12He grips my chin.
19:13His voice is soft now.
19:14Gentle.
19:15Like he's talking to a child.
19:17Claire.
19:17I get it.
19:18You're jealous.
19:19You hate that I chose Chloe over you.
19:21He strokes my matted hair.
19:23But if you did this to get back at me?
19:24That's sick.
19:25I choke out a laugh, blood in my mouth.
19:27Ethan.
19:28You're pathetic.
19:29You're losing everything.
19:30And you're too blind to see it.
19:32Chloe raises the pipe again.
19:33Still melting off, bitch.
19:35The hangar doors are blown off their hinges.
19:38Blinding white light floods the room.
19:40Laser sights dance across the walls.
19:42Federal agents.
19:43Drop the weapon.
19:44Hands in the air.
19:45Now.
19:45Flood lights blast the hangar white.
19:4712 armed agents move in.
19:49Heavy boots on concrete.
19:50Barrels level dead Ethan and Chloe.
19:52Eric steps through the smoke.
19:54Defense intelligence.
19:55My emergency contact.
19:56He looks at me.
19:58His jaw locks.
19:59His whole face hardens.
20:00Claire.
20:01I can't see him.
20:02I just hear the gravel in his voice.
20:04Eric.
20:04I whisper.
20:05You're late.
20:06Who did this?
20:07Eric's voice shakes the room.
20:08Who the hell laid a hand on her?
20:10The room goes dead silent.
20:12Chloe shrinks behind Ethan.
20:13She's shaking.
20:14General.
20:15Sir.
20:15This is a misunderstanding.
20:17Trying to sound calm.
20:18We were just.
20:19Shut up.
20:20You're not just looking at assault.
20:21You assaulted federally protected personnel.
20:24Arrest them.
20:24He points at the agents.
20:26All of them.
20:27The metal pipe clatters out of Chloe's hand.
20:29She finally gets it.
20:30She messed with the wrong woman.
20:32No.
20:32That's impossible.
20:33She's just some nobody.
20:35Nobody?
20:35Eric rips a file from his aide's hand.
20:37Claire Hart.
20:3824.
20:39Lead engineer on the orbital defense program.
20:41Youngest in the program's history.
20:43Presidential medal of freedom.
20:45He slams the file onto the floor at Chloe's feet.
20:47She looks at my photo, then at the classified markings.
20:50That's when panic finally hits her.
20:52Now you get it.
20:53His voice flat and cold.
20:54You just put your hands on a woman this country cannot afford to lose.
20:58Chloe still tries to fight.
20:59Even now, she won't back down.
21:01You can't arrest me.
21:02I'm marrying Ethan Vale.
21:03My mother runs the agency.
21:05A strange silence falls over the hanger.
21:07That's strange.
21:08I don't remember raising a lying little bitch.
21:10My mother.
21:11Grace Shaw.
21:12She steps into the light.
21:14Black suit.
21:15Agency insignia at her collar.
21:17Twelve agents fall in behind her.
21:18Chloe goes pale.
21:20Grace.
21:20My mother doesn't even look at her.
21:22She walks straight to me.
21:23She sees my eyes.
21:24She sees the blood.
21:25My mother never cracks.
21:27Until now.
21:27Claire.
21:28My god.
21:29She whispers.
21:30Her hand trembles against my cheek.
21:31I'm here sweetie.
21:33I'm so sorry I'm late.
21:34Ethan looks like he's been struck by lightning.
21:36He staggers back.
21:37Director Shaw, you, you're Claire's mother.
21:39Surprised?
21:40My mother turns to him.
21:41Her eyes turn cold.
21:42My daughter got into Harvard at 16.
21:44And became chief engineer at 20.
21:46She looks him up and down with total contempt.
21:48And you chose the fraud over her?
21:49Chloe starts screaming.
21:51Hysterical.
21:51That's not true.
21:52My mother is.
21:53Enough.
21:54My mother snaps her fingers.
21:55And Abe taps a tablet.
21:57Chloe Jones.
21:58Her mother is a cleaner.
21:59Every ID.
22:00Every record.
22:01Every degree.
22:01All fakes.
22:02Chloe's knees buckle.
22:03She hits the cold concrete.
22:05No.
22:05It's not.
22:06I.
22:07Ethan snaps.
22:08He lunges at her.
22:09His hands wrap around her throat.
22:10You played me.
22:11Ethan, stop.
22:12Chloe gasps.
22:13She claws at his wrists.
22:15Just because I love you.
22:16Ethan's fingers dig in.
22:17His eyes are full of murder.
22:19Love me?
22:19That, world-class engineer you brought in?
22:21He's a handyman.
22:22From your mother's cleaning crew.
22:24The hangar goes silent.
22:25Only the sound of Chloe's choking fills the air.
22:27Her expensive acrylic nails snap as she fights him off.
22:30Commander Vance steps forward.
22:31His voice is a blade.
22:32We checked the records.
22:33Chloe's so-called genius is a maintenance worker for her mother's company.
22:37He couldn't even read the satellite's blueprints.
22:39Ethan lets Chloe go.
22:40She slumps like a broken doll.
22:41No.
22:42Ethan staggers back.
22:43He hits the hangar door.
22:45The satellite.
22:45My grandfather.
22:46Vance looks at his tablet.
22:48The satellite just hit the Pacific.
22:49Total loss.
22:50Data gone.
22:51He pauses.
22:52His voice drops.
22:53And your grandfather?
22:54The engineer accidentally cut his life support.
22:57He's dead.
22:57Ethan.
22:58Chloe curls into a ball.
22:59Her makeup is a mess of black tears.
23:01Ethan.
23:02I didn't know.
23:03My mom said he was the best.
23:04Your mom.
23:05Ethan screams.
23:06He kicks her in the stomach.
23:07A handyman?
23:08And you let him touch my satellite.
23:09Chloe lets out a gut-wrenching shriek.
23:11Her hair is matted with grease.
23:13Director Shaw watches chaos.
23:15Cold.
23:15Unmoved.
23:16She looks at Vance.
23:17Arrest them both.
23:18Charge them with treason sabotage and homicide.
23:21Treason.
23:22Ethan turns white.
23:23No.
23:23This is all her.
23:24She lied to me.
23:25He grabs Chloe by the hair.
23:26Drags her toward Vance.
23:28She forged the IDs.
23:29She brought that fraud in.
23:30I'm innocent.
23:31Chloe shrieks in pain.
23:32Her nails dig bloody lines into Ethan's arms.
23:35You bastard.
23:36You knew.
23:36You let it happen just to spite Claire.
23:38Shut up.
23:39Ethan backhands her.
23:40Chloe's lips splits open.
23:41You bitch.
23:42You killed my grandfather.
23:43You're not taking me down with you.
23:45Vance watches the rats eat each other.
23:46He waves his hand.
23:48Take them.
23:48All of them.
23:49You can't do this.
23:50Ethan thrashes.
23:51His $5,000 suit is shredded.
23:53I'm the only heir.
23:54I'm a veil.
23:55Director Shaw sneers.
23:56The veil family?
23:57It ends tonight.
23:58As they drag Chloe away.
24:00She's still wailing.
24:02Ethan.
24:03You promised.
24:04You said you'd protect me.
24:06Ethan turns a deaf ear.
24:07He breaks free and falls to his knees by my stretcher.
24:10Claire.
24:11Please.
24:12Think about us.
24:13Think about what we had.
24:14I open my eyes.
24:15Just a sliver.
24:17What did we have?
24:20Ethan.
24:21Ethan.
24:22My voice is the ghost of a whisper.
24:24You watched her blind me.
24:26You let her destroy my life's work.
24:28Ethan shakes.
24:29He's totally broken.
24:31I'm sorry.
24:33I'm so sorry.
24:332.
24:34Vance yanks him up by the collar.
24:35Save it for the judge!
24:37The medic gasps as he cuts my sleeve.
24:40Severe burns to the corneus.
24:41Three fractured fingers.
24:42Severe internal bruising.
24:45Save her!
24:46Whatever it takes!
24:47Get the best team in the country!
24:50I find Eric's hand and reach out.
24:52Eric.
24:53I'm sorry.
24:55I lost the satellite.
24:56I failed everyone.
24:58Eric grips my hand tightly.
24:59No.
25:00His hand is shaking.
25:01When we saw you in that hangar.
25:03When we saw what they did.
25:05I try to smile.
25:07Hey!
25:08I'm still breathing, right?
25:09Breathing!
25:10He points at my bandaged eyes.
25:12Look at you.
25:13We spent years protecting you.
25:15And they destroyed you!
25:17A scream pierces the air from outside.
25:19Through the glass.
25:19I see Chloe.
25:21Let go of me!
25:22Do you know who I am?
25:24Eric's eyes turn into cold steel.
25:26He pats my hand softly.
25:27He heads for the door.
25:29I called out.
25:30Eric!
25:31Don't.
25:32Don't do anything illegal.
25:34He stops in the doorway.
25:35His back is like a stone wall.
25:36Don't worry.
25:37Though let the law do its job.
25:39The hardest way it can.
25:40The trial ran for three days.
25:42The courtroom is dead silent.
25:45I sit at the front.
25:46My eyes are still covered.
25:48The prosecutor stands.
25:49The defendants caused 10 billion dollars in damage.
25:53They crippled our national defense.
25:55The room erupts in whispers.
25:58Chloe Jones.
25:59Do you plead guilty?
26:01Chloe is a ghost of herself.
26:03Her hair is greasy.
26:04Her designer suit is a rag.
26:05I didn't know.
26:06I just wanted to surprise Ethan.
26:08I wanted to help.
26:11Help?
26:12You hired a plumber to fix a billion dollar uplink.
26:16That's not a surprise.
26:18That's a suicide mission.
26:20He turns to Ethan.
26:21Mr. Valey.
26:22You were the CEO.
26:24How did this happen?
26:25Ethan looks pathetic.
26:26I was blinded by her, Chloe.
26:28She manipulated me.
26:30Mipulated?
26:32It's Ethan.
26:33He's laughing.
26:34He has his arm around Chloe.
26:35Whatever makes you happy, babe.
26:37She's just an engineer.
26:39You're more important.
26:41My jaw tightens.
26:42Even without sight, I feel the sting.
26:44Betrayal is a physical weight.
26:46It's not like that.
26:47Ethan screams.
26:48I didn't know she was under federal protection.
26:50If I knew.
26:51If you knew, you would have been nicer.
26:53My voice cuts through the room.
26:55Cold.
26:56Sharp.
26:56Ethan.
26:57You make me sick.
26:59Silence falls.
27:00The judge bangs his gavel.
27:01The court has reached a verdict.
27:03Chloe Jones.
27:04On charges of treason and manslaughter, the court sentences you to life without parole.
27:09Chloe screams.
27:10A high, thin sound.
27:12She faints.
27:13The guards drag her out like trash.
27:15Ethan Vail.
27:16On charges of aiding and abetting, the court sentences you to life imprisonment.
27:20All assets are hereby seized.
27:22Ethan's legs give out.
27:24He hits the floor.
27:25He stares at me.
27:26His lips move.
27:27He wants to say my name.
27:29But the words won't come.
27:30Three months later.
27:31I'm standing in the new lab.
27:32My sight is still blurry, about 30% recovery.
27:35But with these tech glasses, I'm back in the lab.
27:38Ms. Hart.
27:39The trajectory is off by 0.02.
27:42My assistant says.
27:43I scan the data.
27:45Adjust the thrusters.
27:47Compensate for the drag.
27:49Footsteps behind me.
27:50I turn.
27:51It's my mother and General Eric.
27:52I have news.
27:53Mom says.
27:54She's actually smiling.
27:55The surgery is scheduled for next week.
27:58If all goes well, your vision could recover to 90%.
28:02My throat tightens.
28:03I can finally see the stars again.
28:06Clearly.
28:06And this.
28:07Eric says.
28:08He hands me a velvet box.
28:10Inside is the National Space Medal.
28:12The president wants to thank you personally.
28:14I touch the gold.
28:15It feels heavy.
28:16One more thing.
28:17Mom says.
28:18Her voice turns cold.
28:20Ethan Vail.
28:21He's been begging for your visit.
28:23I pause.
28:24My fingers hover over the metal.
28:26What does he want?
28:27To apologize.
28:28Personally.
28:29I shake my head.
28:30I put the box in the drawer.
28:32Tell him no.
28:33Some things can't be fixed with a sorry dot.
28:36A man like Ethan doesn't feel guilty.
28:38He only feels the loss of power.
28:40His tears are just another currency.
28:41And I'm not buying.
28:43One year later.
28:44The control room is buzzing.
28:45I'm standing at the center.
28:47On the massive screen.
28:48Claire won.
28:49T minus ten.
28:50Nine.
28:51Eight.
28:51Eight.
28:52The countdown vibrates in my chest.
28:54My vision is still hazy around the edges.
28:56But my mind has never been clearer.
28:58I watch the engines ignite.
28:59Three.
29:00Two.
29:01One.
29:02Lift off.
29:03The rocket tears into the sky.
29:05A streak of pure white light.
29:07Orbit achieved.
29:08The tech yells.
29:09Signals are 100%.
29:10The room erupts.
29:12People are hugging.
29:13Crying.
29:14I just look out the window.
29:16My phone buzzes in my pocket.
29:17Breaking news.
29:18Vail global assets seized.
29:20Ethan Vail's final appeal denied.
29:22I don't even open it.
29:23I swipe the notification away.
29:25The people who tried to break me.
29:26I don't care about them anymore.
29:28They're part of the past now.
29:29I look at the launch tower in the distance.
29:31New ships.
29:32New missions.
29:33This is my life.
29:34This is my honor.
29:35of his hazy around the woods. This
29:35is комна drawn the house to come into the house. From
