00:03I spent five years as Noah's co-pilot, and five more as his secret lover that couldn't be acknowledged.
00:10On our anniversary, his ex sent me a text.
00:20Guess which position we just unlocked.
00:24The photo showed the exact move Noah had me try in bed last week.
00:30That moment, I understood every trick he knew she'd taught him.
00:36I took a picture of the captain transfer papers I'd hidden for three months, and replied,
00:41Congrats!
00:42But while you are busy unlocking new positions, I am charting a flight path he'll never catch.
00:52Then I signed my name bound for Seattle, Captain of GFO 28.
00:56Five years of playing second fiddle ends here.
01:00From now on, I fly east.
01:02He flies west.
01:04Thirty thousand feet up, our paths will never cross.
01:09I am my own captain now.
01:16Skylar.
01:21An elite pilot.
01:23Like you should have been leading your own crew three years ago.
01:28Think it over these next few days.
01:30Do you want to keep being Noah's supporting act?
01:33Or seize the chance to become our first female captain?
01:40I'll give it serious thought.
01:44Five years.
01:46A full five years.
01:50Everyone at the company thought Noah and I were just the golden duo in the cockpit.
01:56Little did they know, we were just as compatible in bed.
02:04After graduating from flight school and joining the company, meeting Noah, we'd set one partnership record after another.
02:13Back then, Noah pursued me relentlessly.
02:18For my birthday, he spent three months designing a flight route that traced my name on the GPS map.
02:28Under Noah's constant devotion, I fell.
02:36To protect his career, the company prohibited relationships between captains and co-pilots.
02:47I agreed to keep things secret.
02:52By day, we piloted 787s together.
02:58Flying from New York to LA, crossing the entire American continent.
03:03By night, we shared a bed.
03:07His kisses ranging from passionate to tender.
03:11Introducing me to 81 different positions.
03:17Two people so perfectly matched, mentally and physically yet.
03:22Looking back now, all I taste is bitterness.
03:31Still up?
03:34Too many night flights.
03:37My sleep schedule's a mess.
03:40Got you a gift, on this last flight.
03:44Inside the box, a Cartier diamond bracelet lay on satin.
03:48Blindingly bright.
03:50Three months ago, I'd mentioned it casually on a plane.
03:54He remembered.
03:57I should have been moved, if I hadn't seen the same bracelet on Bella's Instagram two days ago.
04:06Captain Hunt has excellent taste.
04:09This Cartier bracelet symbolizes eternity.
04:12Did you and Noah get back together?
04:15This bracelet is so perfect on you!
04:18Don't read too much into it.
04:21Five years together, and only then did I learn that Bella was Noah's ex-girlfriend.
04:37No wonder, at every team gathering, he always drove Bella home.
04:41While I, to hide our relationship, had to take cabs alone.
04:48What is wrong?
04:52Don't like it.
04:53I waited in line six hours to get it.
04:55Didn't you say you really wanted it on the plane?
04:59Don't really want it anymore.
05:05Just like, I don't really want this man I've loved for five years anymore.
05:10If it doesn't suit you,
05:12I'll get you something else next time.
05:15Next time, he'll buy me something else.
05:17Will Bella also get one first?
05:20Or will he buy two identical items?
05:24Pulling myself back to the present,
05:26my gaze fell on the application form the jewelry box was crushing,
05:31and I smiled bitterly.
05:34I deliberately placed this document in the most visible spot,
05:38yet Noah had completely ignored it.
05:41This unequal relationship, maybe it had been my one-woman show from the start.
05:50Robert, I accept the transfer.
05:53I am applying for the GF-028 route.
05:57GF-028 and Noah's 787 go completely opposite directions,
06:03one east, one west.
06:08Choose this route, and your flight paths will never intersect.
06:13You sure?
06:16I am sure.
06:28Riding something?
06:32Flight dispatch for next time.
06:39If you are too tired, consider stopping flights.
06:42My salary is enough for us to live well anyway.
06:44Five years, and this man had never truly understood me.
06:48He knew I'd given up three promotion opportunities for him.
06:52He knew flying was my everything.
06:55Yet, he still said things like that.
06:59We'll see.
07:01It is fine.
07:02Just 14 more days, and I can leave Global United Airlines.
07:06Leave this man, who has never taken my dreams seriously.
07:12Back in the bedroom, I'd barely laid down when Noah's arm wrapped around me from behind.
07:18His palms sliding knowingly into my silk nightgown.
07:21My images flashed through my mind.
07:24Bella's Instagram photo showing her red-painted nails resting on Noah's wrist.
07:31Don't touch me!
07:35What is wrong?
07:37Not feeling well.
07:46Does this help?
07:48In the darkness, his tenderness felt so real.
07:51But so did the betrayal.
07:52If he really cared about me, why would he still be entangled with his ex-girlfriend?
07:58In the early morning, his phone on the nightstand lit up.
08:03I instinctively glanced over.
08:04It was a message from Bella.
08:06Remember number three on your 18-year-old wish list?
08:10Rowboat in Central Park.
08:11I am waiting for you at the dock.
08:14My heart sank to the bottom.
08:16Last Saturday, Noah had just promised to take me to Central Park.
08:20I'd even booked a double rowboat.
08:22Turns out, not only did the ex get priority on gifts,
08:25even our date plans were hers to experience first.
08:30Something urgent with the crew.
08:32I need to go.
08:34I want to go to Central Park.
08:36Now.
08:37Next week.
08:39I am too busy this week.
08:41Next week, I'll take you.
08:44So I am just supposed to keep waiting.
08:47One text from his ex.
08:49And she is more important than all our plans.
08:52I turned back to the living room.
08:54Looking at the entire wall of photos.
08:56Feeling that familiar tightness in my chest again.
09:01A hundred photos.
09:03Symbolizing our love lasting a hundred years.
09:08Hundred years.
09:10The promise had a much shorter shelf life than I'd imagined.
09:16Some people never forget your 18 year old dreams.
09:20Number Central Park.
09:21Number Sunrise.
09:22Promise a kept.
09:24Noah.
09:25Slower.
09:26It hurts.
09:29So after the rowboat, there was an after party.
09:33Skylar.
09:34Where are all the photos?
09:37Fell down.
09:38Put them away.
09:40When I have time, we'll hang them together.
09:44Sadly.
09:45Photos can be re-hung.
09:47But feelings can't.
09:58The next morning, I placed the signed promotion form on Robert's assistant's desk.
10:04Just as I was about to leave, the hallway intercom crackled.
10:08All crew members, please report immediately to conference hall.
10:13One.
10:13The new purser arrives today.
10:16The Boeing 787 was getting a new purser.
10:21So sudden.
10:25We're pleased to introduce our Boeing 787's new purser.
10:31Bella Jones.
10:35Fate works in mysterious ways.
10:38Five years ago, when Noah first became captain, I was his purser.
10:44After all this time, we get to fly together again.
10:47It must be destiny.
10:51Wow.
10:52They're totally meant for each other.
10:53Five years ago, they were just like this.
10:56Their chemistry stung my eyes.
10:58I quietly turned.
11:00And pushed through the heavy conference hall doors.
11:05That evening's welcome dinner was at an upscale restaurant in midtown Manhattan.
11:11I hadn't wanted to go.
11:13But several crew members dragged me along.
11:17Come on, Skylar.
11:18Everyone knows you've always liked Noah.
11:21But for the company's sake, at least make an appearance.
11:27I sat in a corner, watching Bella circulate like a hostess.
11:32She'd lean in to whisper to Noah, fingers lightly touching his shoulder.
11:37The scene was especially painful to watch.
11:40In public before, Noah never let me get that close.
11:44Now I understood those rules only applied to people he didn't love.
11:49I heard they were madly in love back then.
11:51When Bella was going to work in Dubai, Noah even wrote a resignation letter.
11:56If the flight director hadn't stopped him.
11:59And, you know, the most romantic part.
12:03When Noah wanted to propose, he specially requested a new route and confessed over the radio while crossing the Arctic
12:12Circle.
12:13Those flying memories I thought were uniquely ours.
12:16Turns out they were all reruns of someone else's story.
12:20The whole company knew about their romance.
12:23But no one knew about Noah and me these past five years.
12:27You must be Skylar.
12:30I am Bella.
12:32Consider me your senior.
12:34This double-edged comment was laughable.
12:38This woman who'd been provoking me with messages was now playing the first meeting card.
12:47The End
12:52Pleasure
12:54Bella's smile froze for a moment, quickly recovering as she turned toward Noah.
12:59He was listening to her.
13:01His lips curved in that gentle arc I hadn't seen in weeks.
13:05Not once did he look in my direction.
13:08I couldn't take anymore and found an excuse to leave.
13:13Noah, your co-pilot doesn't seem to like me much.
13:16She left without even eating.
13:19Don't mind her.
13:20She's been pining after Noah for five years.
13:23Playing second fiddle the whole time.
13:25Now that you are back, naturally she is uncomfortable.
13:29Don't say things like that.
13:32We'll all be colleagues going forward.
13:35So in everyone's eyes, I was just a pathetic woman, who couldn't get what she wanted.
13:41Fine, in eleven more days, this pathetic woman would vanish from their sight forever.
13:47After all, no one ever knew I was Noah's actual girlfriend.
13:54Skylar, you shouldn't have left like that.
13:56Bella is a new colleague after all.
13:59You made things very awkward for her.
14:03You care so much about her embarrassment.
14:06Is it because she is a new colleague?
14:08Or because she is your ex-girlfriend?
14:20Skylar, you have to trust me.
14:23That is all ancient history.
14:27These five years, you've been the only one by my side.
14:31His eyes held a panic I'd never seen before, making me momentarily dazed.
14:36Maybe he does care about me.
14:39But just then, Bella's voice came from behind.
14:44Noah!
14:45The arm around me suddenly released, and he jerked back like he'd been shocked.
14:50That movement was so fast like pure instinct, drawing an invisible boundary between us.
14:56In that moment, I finally understood the current girlfriend of five years couldn't compete with a returning ex.
15:03Go on, don't keep her waiting.
15:05I thought I'd been mentally prepared.
15:08But when betrayal was laid out so nakedly...
15:11The heart still hurts.
15:15I curled up on the living room sofa.
15:18Phone screen glowing on my face.
15:19My finger unconsciously clicked on Bella's Instagram.
15:23Her latest post was from ten minutes ago.
15:26Caption, maximum boyfriend power.
15:28Who says captains only fly planes.
15:30Number best support.
15:31Look that photo.
15:33I suddenly remembered last summer at the noisy Coney Island amusement park.
15:39Noah!
15:40I want to try it too!
15:46Don't do that, Skylar.
15:47It is not appropriate.
15:50Turns out it wasn't inappropriate.
15:52Just the wrong person.
15:55Don't cry, Skylar!
15:58Crying over unworthy people was letting myself down!
16:05Packing this late?
16:07Long flight next week.
16:10Getting things organized in advance.
16:14He's showing no suspicion.
16:16He even came over, bent down to check my suitcase lock, then click personally locked it for me.
16:28Alright, get some sleep.
16:30I looked at that suitcase he'd personally locked.
16:33My throat, suddenly tight.
16:36He'd never know this case didn't hold flight equipment.
16:39But my determination to leave.
16:52Today was my last flight as Noah's co-pilot, and Bella's maiden voyage as the 787's purser.
17:01How pathetic together with Noah five years.
17:06And he can't even publicly acknowledge you.
17:10Seems in his heart, you'll always be someone who can't see daylight.
17:17And know what? Noah told me that morning in Central Park.
17:24He said he missed our flying days together most.
17:29Thanks for your hard work these five years.
17:34Playing his assistant by day, his bed partner by night.
17:38But you must have noticed.
17:41His favorite positions were all ones.
17:44I taught him.
17:45If you want to say these things, you should tell Noah.
17:53Or can you only show off in front of me?
17:58Skylar, clinging to a man who doesn't love you.
18:01Don't you find it humiliating?
18:05Noah only has me in his heart.
18:08He is just killing time with you.
18:11The gifts he gave you were just styles I didn't want.
18:16Even the man himself, I used him first.
18:21You know what?
18:23Only he and I are the most compatible.
18:26Body and soul.
18:30Look at Bella, I suddenly finding this scene ridiculous.
18:34She expected to see me break down.
18:37But ever since I discovered those flirty texts on Noah's phone,
18:42my heart had withered like a dying flower.
18:45No amount of provocation could make it bloom again.
18:49Since you are so perfect together.
18:53I wish you both a happy reunion.
19:02From today on, my life would be like this sunshine.
19:06Bright and warm.
19:12Flaps, five degrees.
19:18Flaps, five check.
19:20Takeoff thrust, set.
19:23Thrust said check.
19:25We coordinated as seamlessly as the past five years.
19:29But every command today carried farewell.
19:33This was the last time I'd sit on his right.
19:36From now on, I'd be the one holding the control column.
19:41Bringing every aircraft safely through takeoff and landing.
19:54At 35,000 feet, Noah engaged autopilot.
19:58We walked out of the cockpit one after another to patrol the cabin.
20:03Noah!
20:04Just then, the plane suddenly hit severe turbulence.
20:09An overhead bin door popped open, and a heavy suitcase fell straight down.
20:14Time stretched infinitely in that moment.
20:17I saw Noah instinctively pull Bella into his arms,
20:21while that case struck solidly on my right shoulder.
20:25Captain Skyler!
20:30First, go calm the passengers.
20:35Tell them this is just normal turbulence.
20:38Okay!
20:43Whose responsibility was this?
20:50Sorry, I just took something out and might not have closed it properly.
20:56Can't handle even this basic operation!
20:59What if it had hit a passenger?
21:03Skyler, it was an accident.
21:05Don't be so harsh.
21:09At 35,000 feet, there is no such thing as accident.
21:14That what you said.
21:17I am disappointed, really!
21:24About what just happened.
21:27I am very sorry.
21:30But Bella was closer to me, I instinctively.
21:34It is fine.
21:36This is my last time flying the 787 with you anyway.
21:40You are angry about what just happened?
21:44No.
21:47Bella has been away from this position five years.
21:50She needs time to readjust.
21:52You shouldn't be too hard on her.
21:55Those words were like the final boulder crushing the last hope in my heart.
22:00The one who made the mistake got tender protection, while the injured one was accused of being too harsh.
22:06The aching right shoulder felt like a prominent period, marking the end point of these five years.
22:14Sure enough, some routes are destined to be flown alone.
22:28After seven hours of flight, the plane landed smoothly at Anchorage airport.
22:35After resting overnight at the airport hotel, Noah took me to see the northern lights as promised.
22:42Except seeing the ever-present Bella, plus other crew members, extinguished any anticipation in my heart.
22:53After Noah's relentless pestering, I finally agreed.
22:58When we reached the observation cabin, the aurora happened to unfold its magnificent display across the night sky.
23:06Noah, remember?
23:10The first time we saw the aurora, we had that big fight.
23:15You swore you'd bring me back.
23:20Thank you for always remembering that promise.
23:26I never forget promises I make to you.
23:31In that moment, it felt like an icy blade pierced my heart.
23:36So the person Noah always wanted.
23:39To share the aurora with was Bella all along.
23:43And I was just a bystander he'd brought along.
23:49The final flights are complete. Awaiting instructions, sir.
23:54From today, you are no longer the 787's co-pilot, but captain of the GFO 28 route.
24:03Congratulations, Skylar.
24:06You're not only Aurora Airlines' youngest female captain, but also the pioneer of this new route.
24:17Skylar, why isn't your name on tomorrow's flight schedule?
24:25Been too tired lately. Requested a few days off.
24:30That is good.
24:32We promised to fly together until retirement.
24:36Skylar, don't lie to me.
24:43When I return, it'll be New Year's.
24:47Let's go to Tokyo for the countdown.
24:52Don't want to.
24:55Then Reykjavik.
24:56Just the two of us.
24:59No.
25:01These five years, to hide our relationship.
25:06He always took me to distant cities to celebrate.
25:11But this time, I only wanted to quietly wait for the day I'd leave for Seattle.
25:17Come on, spill it. Any hidden dream destination?
25:21New Year's Eve. Come with me to Rockefeller Center.
25:26Why New York?
25:27We could go somewhere more special.
25:30Just some photos.
25:32You just play photographer.
25:35As you wish.
25:37After the company party, I'll definitely announce our relationship to everyone.
25:42Just give me a little more time.
25:46Go shower. It is late.
25:52Okay.
25:54Five years, he always made me wait.
25:58But this time, I wouldn't wait anymore.
26:10The 31st of December.
26:14My last day countdown to leaving.
26:17I stood under the appointed starlights.
26:22Waiting from afternoon until dusk from twilight deepening into night.
26:27But Noah never appeared.
26:32You!
26:34Skylar!
26:35Belle is having acute gastroenteritis!
26:37I am at the hospital with her!
26:44I'll come find you later!
26:57I'll come find you later!
27:04Uh...
27:05Noah!
27:06They say liars must swallow a thousand needles!
27:09How many times have you lied to me?
27:14So what if Noah wasn't here to take my picture?
27:17From now on...
27:20I'd be my own photographer.
27:23At 10pm, Noah finally called.
27:27Skylar, I'll be later.
27:30Find a cafe to sit and wait for me.
27:32Don't get cold.
27:36How much longer must I wait?
27:41I'll try to make it before midnight.
27:43Definitely spend New Years with you.
27:45Take your photos.
27:47I'll wait until midnight.
27:54I plan to say goodbye to him at midnight.
27:58Our last meeting.
27:59Hope he won't stand me up.
28:0311 o'clock.
28:0511.30.
28:0611.59.
28:105...
28:114...
28:123...
28:122...
28:13Happy New Year!
28:18Noah never appeared.
28:21Welcoming New Years with position 83.
28:23Times Square sky full of neon lighting up our 20s and 30s.
28:32Noah, I am leaving.
28:35Wishing you and Bella continued success unlocking all 108 positions.
28:54Welcome Captain Skylar! Happy New Year!
29:00Happy New Year!
29:01Looking forward to flying with you all!
29:04From now on, I was this plane's captain.
29:09Kennedy Tower.
29:11Aurora Airlines GFO 28 ready.
29:14Requesting maiden flight clearance.
29:16Tower copy.
29:17GF 28 cleared for takeoff.
29:20Safe skies, Captain Evans.
29:22Goodbye, Kennedy Tower!
29:28From now on, my life would follow GFO 28's route, never intersecting with Noah's.
29:36From now on, my life would follow GFO 28's route, never intersecting with Noah's.
29:54Suddenly, broken my word.
29:58Is this...
29:59Bella's Instagram?
30:01What shocked him even more...
30:03Was that every post Bella had been sharing was set to...
30:05Hide from...
30:06Noah Hunter.
30:08Only now did he know...
30:10Bella had been harassing me behind his back all along.
30:17What are these?
30:20What is it?
30:22Noah, I've regretted these five years apart.
30:25I posted these only because...
30:28I didn't want anyone between us.
30:30Let's get back together.
30:33We ended...
30:34Long ago.
30:36From the day you left for that Dubai promotion...
30:38Without looking back.
30:40Now...
30:41I love Skylar!
30:44You are lying!
30:46If you don't love me, why do you come every time I call?
30:50Why would you rather stay with me than keep your new year's date?
30:55I care for you.
30:56Out of collegiality.
30:59More...
30:59As captain's responsibility.
31:02I don't believe it.
31:05Enough.
31:06Five years have passed.
31:08Everything's turned the page.
31:13I have a girlfriend.
31:14Now.
31:15For you.
31:16Only professional courtesy remains.
31:19No!
31:20It is not like that!
31:22Noah!
31:23Don't go!
31:24No!
31:25No!
31:30Skylar.
31:30I bought you cherries.
31:33I bought you cherries.
31:34Skylar?
31:39Noah!
31:41I am leaving!

32:48transfer when why didn't she tell me before even minor things like flight delays
32:56Skyler would share with me first now such a major transfer and I knew nothing this
33:04is Skyler's career choice why should she tell you Skyler was your co-pilot for five years
33:13otherwise with her abilities she could have been captain three years ago Skyler could
33:19have been promoted to captain three years ago she'd stayed in the co-pilot position to fly
33:26with me can I help you please tell me where she is I need to find her what will you
33:38do finding her
33:40she has her new route you have your flights to handle

33:54you've been together all along never went public yes five years
34:04five years you both hit it quite well look this
34:15Seattle thank you I need a few days leave I'm going to find her immediately
34:32Skyler having lived with you for five years only now did I discover you had long since taken root
34:39in my heart if I had gone public earlier you might never have left me
34:49five years Skyler Evans my love five years Skyler and Noah have been together five years didn't
35:00Noah always like Bella why the sudden announcement quick them and ask what is going on when did Skyler
35:07leave the group who wouldn't leave Skyler was the underground girlfriend for five years
35:13the moment Bella came back Noah changed his attitude drawing clear lines in front of everyone
35:19I'd leave too who could take that
35:24I never meant to distance myself just wanted to wait a bit longer
35:29I was wrong terribly terribly wrong Skyler
35:45while Noah handled handover matters in New York I'd already piloted GFO 28 smoothly landing on Seattle
35:53Tacoma Airport's runway
35:58Aurora Airlines GFO 28 calling Seattle Tower
36:04go ahead
36:08GFO 28 requesting taxi instructions
36:12surface wind 230 degrees at five knots
36:16use taxiway oh one left to gate three pitch GFO 28 welcome to Seattle
36:24thank you Seattle Tower
36:28welcome to Seattle Towers greeting was quite enthusiastic today Captain Evans
36:35crew members prepare to welcome banquet at pilots home hoping you'll lead us in opening this new route
36:48let me reintroduce myself
36:52Liam Carter your Seattle air traffic controller
36:56no wonder on the plane I'd found the tower voice both pleasant and familiar
37:03so it really was Liam he'd been my senior at flight school two years ahead a campus celebrity even then
37:11I'd always thought he'd become an outstanding captain never imagined he'd chosen air traffic control
37:21Liam hello
37:26sorry I just didn't expect to run into you here
37:33we few are really faded same flight school graduates now in the same crew
37:38back then I secretly shipped you two as a couple shame it ended badly
37:44what do you mean ended badly
37:47our captain Skyler later fell for her instructor
37:51too bad that guy wasn't very reliable
37:54those words were like a fine needle
37:57piercing my heart
37:58those memories of Noah rushed in the initial flutter
38:02five years of devotion
38:05final betrayal
38:07enough
38:07this was enough
38:11back then Liam always
38:15Ryan try this
38:21seven years ago we'd made a bet the loser had to grant the winner a request
38:26confident I'd win I'd agreed to his condition of knitting a scarf
38:31result I lost completely forced to grip my teeth and knit this scarf with crooked stitches
38:37I'd never imagined that years later he'd still kept it
38:43this scarf
38:46yeah it is the one you gave me
38:51that was so long ago
38:54not long for me
38:56especially since it was something you gave me
38:58his tone was calm yet
39:00like a pebble dropped into my heart's lake
39:14just as I stepped off the plane I heard that familiar voice behind me
39:20Skyler
39:29what are you doing here
39:32I came to bring you home
39:35home?
39:37in what capacity?
39:39your secret lover you hid for five years
39:42or the third wheel between you and Bella
39:45I'd already seen his social media posts
39:49but only found them laughable
39:51he demanded the underground relationship
39:56now he was performing deep affection
39:59look
40:00every day
40:01I am posting to tell everyone you are my girlfriend
40:05enough
40:07what is the point now?
40:09we ended long ago
40:12no we can't end
40:14Bella and I really have nothing
40:16those were all misunderstandings
40:20none of that matters anymore
40:24we're not compatible
40:26I don't want to see snow
40:27and remember standing alone in Times Square
40:30until dawn on New Year's Eve
40:34Noah, go back
40:38that night
40:39I was because
40:43because you left her alone in Sub-Zero Streets
40:45to spend New Year's Eve with another woman
40:47right?
40:50Liam
40:51what are you doing here?
40:55coming to back her up
40:57this isn't your business
40:59let her go
41:02I warned you back at flight school
41:04if you truly cared for her
41:06cherish her properly
41:07what did you do?
41:10this is between Skylar and me
41:15now it is my business
41:20Skylar
41:21give me a chance to pursue you
41:23okay?
41:38don't joke around
41:40do you want to keep being harassed by him?
41:42he was doing this to help me
41:44completely break free from Noah
41:46Simona as outstanding as him
41:49how could he possibly
41:50actually be interested in me?
41:53go back
41:55I am with Liam now
41:57we ended long ago
42:00we never officially broke up
42:02how can you

42:10I
42:12let's go

42:23Bella's USB drive?
42:28oh my god
42:30Bella had been leaking the company's trade secrets
42:33to competitors
42:34even more shocking
42:36a folder named plan
42:37contained detailed records
42:39of how she'd meticulously orchestrated
42:41every chance encounter
42:42and those seemingly intimate photos
42:45were actually staged
42:46while he was drunk
42:47under her manipulation
42:48those ambiguous private messages
42:50were all her carefully scripted lines
42:52what angered him most
42:54she'd even contacted
42:55several tabloid media outlets
42:57preparing to expose
42:59Global Airlines
43:00Captain Two Timing News
43:01attempting to completely destroy
43:03his career and love life
43:09Bella!
43:17didn't expect you to initiate meeting me
43:22uh
43:23what is this?
43:28what is the point forging these?
43:31need me to hand these to the company's security department
43:34for authenticity verification
43:39or
43:40directly
43:41to the police
43:49let me explain

43:55explain how you calculatedly destroyed
43:57my relationship with Skylar
44:00explain how you used my trust
44:02to steal company secrets
44:04it is all because of her
44:06I loved you so much
44:09came back from Dubai for you
44:11but you only had eyes for her
44:14so
44:15you retaliated this way
44:18do you know this could ruin
44:20so many people's careers?
44:22I don't care
44:24what I can't have
44:26no one else should
44:27we're finished
44:29you'll pay for your actions
44:35the next day

44:38to the company security department
44:41Simultaneously
44:41the company's lawyer
44:43sent termination letters
44:44to Bella's residence
44:46a week later
44:47police officially arrested Bella
44:49on charges of commercial fraud
44:50and defamation
44:51the news quickly spread
44:54through aviation circles
44:56Noah cooperated with police
44:58as key witness
44:59to complete the investigation
45:00walking from the station
45:02he happened to see
45:03an Aurora Airlines aircraft streak
