My Fiancé Almost Kill Me On Thanksgiving Day- Full Movie English Sub
Transcript
00:00La noche de la noche fue el último momento de la calma que me recordó.
00:04Me probé la trufla blanca en mi nariz, un tronco de la tarjeta.
00:07Grayson insistió que intentó.
00:09Y luego todo se deslizó.
00:10El mundo se deslizó.
00:12Mis pies se deslizaron.
00:18Y la consciencia se deslizó de mis manos como agua,
00:20en un círculo de azúcar.
00:23Cuando me wokezca, ambos mis brazos.
00:26El dolor es muy fuerte.
00:28Y estaba quedando en un lado de la ciudad de Nevada.
00:35Mi fiancé handedó mi jet privado a mi asistente como era un favorito.
00:41No ni ni siquiera pensé para procesar el insulto.
00:46Mis pies estaban dialando la emergencia de FAA antes de que la situación se deslizó en mi corazón.
00:53Y en minutos, ellos interceptaron a ella,
01:25por querer sentir importante.
01:27Sometimes I wondered
01:28whether he genuinely believed
01:29the bullshit he said
01:30or if he simply thought
01:31I was too soft or too in love
01:33to call him on it.
01:35Grayson,
01:36this isn't about feeling important.
01:39This is about flying
01:40a multi-million dollar aircraft
01:42without a pilot's license.
01:45So if he was showing off
01:46and people who break
01:47federal aviation law
01:49should face the consequences
01:50even if they flutter
01:52their eyelashes at you.
01:53He let out a long theatrical exhale
01:55the kind meant to signal
01:57I was being impossible
01:58before turning away.
02:00I'll have Whitmore Enterprises
02:01legal department deal with it.
02:03You never know how to pick your battles.
02:11The cold earth pressing through my skin
02:13like a second heartbeat.
02:14A red glow washed over me.
02:16The beam of an infrared camera
02:18before Grayson's voice followed
02:19low and venomous.
02:21You know Mia was detained
02:22for 48 hours
02:23because of your little tantrum.
02:24He asked his tone dangerously calm.
02:26She was terrified.
02:28So you can fly a plane.
02:30Big deal.
02:32Let's see what other
02:33impressive skills you have.
02:35Think you can walk out of here naked
02:36and make it home.
02:38My vision shook
02:39but I forced my good fingers
02:41what remained of them
02:42to reach the side
02:43of my AR tactical glasses.
02:45The emergency signal was faint
02:46but it was there.
02:48I pressed the button
02:48my voice cutting through the wind
02:50in a low steady rasp.
02:51Get here in 30 minutes
02:53and I will owe you everything.
02:56Celeste Montgomery
02:57you're going to apologize
02:59to Mia right now
03:00and say out loud
03:01that you're nothing
03:02but a worthless bitch.
03:03Otherwise you can rot out here
03:05in the Sierra Nevada
03:05until the toxins in the air
03:07finish you off.
03:08or until something
03:09with fangs does.
03:10Mia Carrington
03:11nestled comfortably
03:12against his chest
03:13as if this were
03:14some sick holiday movie scene
03:15instead of an attempted
03:16murder broadcast
03:17to criminals
03:18slid into the frame.
03:20Celeste honey
03:21your arms are broken.
03:23Maybe just give in a little?
03:25If you apologize
03:26I'll ask Gray
03:26to pull you out of here.
03:28Grayson pulled her in
03:29and kissed her.
03:29The glow of the screen
03:30sharpening the cruelty
03:31in his eyes.
03:32Then he lifted
03:33the drone controller
03:34sinking our feed
03:35to a Darknet live stream
03:36packed with faceless buyers
03:38who treated human suffering
03:39like a sport.
03:40Ladies and gentlemen
03:41your Thanksgiving special
03:43begins now.
03:46Celeste Montgomery
03:47daughter of old money royalty
03:48former federal wilderness
03:50survival specialist
03:51will attempt to cross
03:52the Sierra Nevada
03:53with no gear
03:54no clothes
03:55and two broken arms.
03:56Place your bets
03:57on how long she'll last.
03:59$1,000 per minute.
04:01No upper limit.
04:09For one heartbeat
04:10the mask slipped
04:11and I saw the same kid
04:13who used to sneak me
04:14into Met Gallus
04:14and promise me the world.
04:16Then Mia whispered something
04:18and the mask slammed back down.
04:19Harder.
04:20Crueler.
04:21Celeste, you can't just
04:22throw away five years
04:26unless...
04:28you already have
04:29some side piece lined up.
04:30some Wall Street wolf
04:34waiting in a Park Avenue penthouse.
04:39Montgomery Global stock
04:41is tanking faster than SBS.
04:43Celeste,
04:44you're nothing without me.
04:45You want to call off the wedding?
04:46Fine.
04:47When the feds freeze
04:48every offshore account
04:49your grandfather buried
04:50in the Caymans.
04:51Get that drone in her face.
04:53Give the subscribers
04:54the money shot.
04:564K.
04:56Night vision.
04:57The works.
04:58I threw up a broken arm
04:59to shield myself
05:00then remembered
05:01I was naked underneath
05:02the ruins of a $10,000 gown.
05:05Shame burned hotter
05:06than the chemical fire
05:07in my veins.
05:08I curled into a ball
05:09slid another foot
05:10down the ice-lick slope
05:11and nearly pitched
05:13into the ravine.
05:15Somewhere below
05:16Timberwolves
05:16started howling.
05:18Real ones
05:18not metaphors.
05:20Celeste, honey
05:20just signed the transfer.
05:21It's only money.
05:22Let Grayson cool off.
05:23We'll airlift you out
05:24get you a spa day at Mirval
05:25pretend this never happened.
05:27A second drone
05:27swooped in mechanical claw
05:28gripping a tablet
05:29displaying the share
05:30transfer agreement.
05:31It hovered six inches
05:32from my nose
05:33like a guillotine.
05:34Sign
05:35or freeze
05:36your choice.
05:40Go to hell!
05:45Something slithered
05:46over my cheek
05:47centipede
05:48six inches long
05:49rocky mountain paranoia
05:51venom.
05:51It crawled
05:52into my ear.
05:53The pain was so bright
05:54I almost welcomed it.
05:56Then gravity
05:57took over again.
05:58I clawed at
05:59frozen granite
06:00fingernails snapping
06:01and slid closer
06:03to the poison ivage
06:03oak trap
06:04where rattlesnakes
06:06denned for winter.
06:07Keep talking tough
06:08princess.
06:09Ten more feet
06:10and you're in the
06:10viper pit.
06:11Let's see that
06:11harbor mouth
06:12negotiate with
06:12diamondbacks.
06:13You're not the
06:14Montgomery heiress
06:15anymore Celeste.
06:16Grayson says if you
06:16sign and apologize
06:17live, admit you
06:18framed me for
06:19cooking the books,
06:19tried to send an
06:20innocent girl to
06:20federal prison,
06:21he'll call the
06:22chopper.
06:23I'll even forgive
06:24you for that
06:24SEC subpoena
06:25you paid for.
06:26You vicious
06:27bitch trying
06:28to lock Mia up?
06:30What about her
06:30little sister
06:31who needs chemo?
06:34The first drone
06:36released a glass
06:36ampule.
06:37It shattered
06:38at my feet
06:39in a hiss
06:40of white vapor.
06:41The snow
06:41around my bare feet
06:42melted into black
06:43sludge,
06:44military grade
06:45corrosives,
06:46flesh on my
06:47calf bubbled
06:47like acid
06:48on steak.
06:49I screamed
06:50until my throat
06:51tore.
06:53Scared yet
06:53Celeste?
06:55Apologize to
06:55Mia.
06:56Now.
06:58Or the next
06:59one goes in
06:59your face.
07:00I dragged
07:01myself an inch
07:02uphill,
07:02blood painting
07:03the snow
07:04red.
07:04The metallic
07:05scent drew
07:06every leech,
07:07tick and
07:08beetle in a
07:08five mile radius.
07:09They burrowed
07:10under what was
07:11left of my
07:11dress.
07:12I couldn't
07:12swap them
07:13off.
07:14For the first
07:15time in 28
07:15years of
07:16boardrooms,
07:17bailouts,
07:17and Forbes
07:18covers.
07:19Celeste
07:20Montgomery
07:20was out
07:21of moves.
07:22I lifted
07:22my head
07:23to the
07:23drone lens,
07:24to the
07:24man who
07:25once swore
07:26he'd
07:26burn the
07:26world before
07:27he'd let
07:28me get
07:28hurt.
07:29Grayson,
07:30when I get
07:30out of here,
07:32and I
07:32will,
07:33I'm going
07:34to take
07:34everything.
07:36Then,
07:36the centipede
07:37in my ear
07:38released its
07:38venom.
07:39The ravine
07:39rushed up
07:40to swallow
07:40me,
07:41and the
07:41last thing
07:42I heard
07:42was Mia
07:42laughing,
07:43like she'd
07:43already
07:44won.
07:49Everything
07:50bled
07:50crimson
07:50blood,
07:51mud,
07:52the strobing
07:52red of
07:53the drone's
07:53emergency LEDs.
07:55I couldn't
07:56tell where
07:56one ended,
07:57and the
07:57other began.
07:58My pulse
07:59hammered so
08:00loud,
08:00I barely
08:01heard the
08:01darknet
08:02chat lose
08:03its collective
08:04mind.
08:06Even Grayson's
08:07executive assistant
08:08started sweating
08:09bullets.
08:09The guy had
08:10buried bodies
08:11for Whitmore
08:11Enterprises
08:12in three
08:12continents,
08:13but live
08:14streaming a
08:14billionaire
08:15heiress getting
08:15eaten by
08:16wolves apparently
08:17crossed a
08:18line.
08:19Mr. Whitmore,
08:19sir, Celeste
08:21looks half
08:21dead already.
08:22Heart rate's
08:23crashing on
08:23the biometric
08:24feed.
08:25She's not
08:25dying.
08:27Girls like
08:28Celeste don't
08:29die, they
08:29just get
08:30humbled.
08:31If she
08:31hadn't spent
08:32the last five
08:33years trying
08:33to frame Mia
08:34for securities
08:35fraud, maybe
08:36I'd have
08:36gone easy.
08:38Tonight's just
08:39a friendly
08:40reminder.
08:46I forced
08:47my head
08:48up, locked
08:48eyes with
08:49the drone's
08:49cold lens, and
08:50let every ounce
08:51of Montgomery
08:51steel pour
08:52into my glare.
08:53I did
08:53nothing wrong.
08:54Why the hell
08:54should I hand
08:55over 10%
08:56of the company
08:56my great
08:57grandfather built
08:58from steel
08:59mills in
08:59Pittsburgh?
09:00Just because
09:01some trust
09:02fund psycho
09:02wants to
09:03flex.
09:04Bugs, please.
09:05I'd spent
09:06summers tagging
09:07grizzlies with
09:07federal wildlife
09:08teams in
09:08Katnay before
09:09I could legally
09:10drink.
09:10This was just
09:11another Tuesday
09:12in hell.
09:13With everything
09:13I had left, I
09:14rolled onto my
09:15back and dragged
09:16myself across the
09:17jagged shale.
09:18Rocks tore fresh
09:19gashes across my
09:20shoulder blades, but
09:21the pain was a
09:22blessing.
09:22It scraped off half
09:23the leeches and
09:24centipedes burrowed
09:25into my skin.
09:26Blood mixed with
09:27snow into pink
09:28slush.
09:29Yet somewhere in the
09:30haze I spotted it.
09:31A cluster of wild
09:32sagebrush glowing
09:33faintly under the
09:34drone's floodlight.
09:35The same plant
09:36rangers in Denali
09:37swear by.
09:38Crushed leaves
09:39masked blood
09:39scent for exactly
09:4111 minutes.
09:42I take sips.
09:43Coleste Montgomery,
09:44have you no shame?
09:46Beg right now,
09:47or the next thing
09:49coming down that
09:49ravine won't be
09:50bugs.
09:51You never plan to
09:53let me walk out of
09:54here, Grayson.
09:55dead or broken.
09:58You decided the
10:00second you fight the
10:03champagne.
10:04Oh my God,
10:05Celeste, what are you
10:06doing?
10:07As I clawed the
10:08sagebrush closer, bit
10:09the stem until bitter
10:10juice flooded my mouth,
10:12then smeared the pulp
10:13across every bleeding
10:14wound.
10:15The alkaloids hit my
10:16bloodstream like ice
10:17water, numbed the
10:18nerve endings, killed
10:19the scent trail.
10:20Temporary, sure, but
10:21temporary was all I
10:22needed.
10:23Mia always said you
10:24were a snake.
10:25Guess she's right.
10:26You're trying to fake
10:27a suicide, pin it on
10:28me, Ruin Whitmore
10:29Enterprises, on Black
10:30Friday weekend.
10:32Classic Celeste.
10:33Even half naked in a
10:35blizzard, you're still
10:37scheming.
10:38Five years, Grayson.
10:39Five years I cleaned
10:40up your messes.
10:41Quieted the SC, buried
10:43the insider trading
10:44rumors, paid off that
10:46flight attendant you
10:48knocked up in Vegas.
10:49Without Montgomery
10:50Capital, you'd be still
10:52slinging dime bags
10:53outside Yale.
10:58For one heartbeat, the
10:59mask slipped again.
11:01Something raw flickered
11:01behind those Wall Street
11:02eyes.
11:03Guilt, maybe, or the
11:04ghost of the boy who
11:05used to sneak me onto
11:06the roof of the Met to
11:07watch July 4th fireworks.
11:09Then Neo whispered
11:10poison in his ear, and
11:12the mask hardened into
11:13granite.
11:15This chick's got nine
11:16lives, boss.
11:17I thought she was done
11:18ten minutes ago.
11:19Then let's burn through
11:21the rest.
11:22I want to see how long
11:23that Montgomery pride
11:24lasts when the wolves
11:26start chewing.
11:27Celeste, sweetie, don't
11:29make the wolves angry.
11:31You're screaming loud
11:32enough to wake every
11:33predator from here to
11:34Glacier's National Park.
11:35When you tried to send
11:37Mia to federal prison for
11:38cooking the books you
11:39cooked up yourself, did
11:40you warn her?
11:41Open the speakers.
11:42The drone's PA system
11:44blasted a recorded
11:45alpha wolf snarl at
11:46180 decibels.
11:48Enough to rattle bones.
11:49Every tree around me
11:51exploded with movement.
11:53Branches snapped, snow
11:54cascaded.
11:55The real pack answered
11:56the call.
11:57I froze every muscle
11:59seizing.
12:00Pain from my compound
12:01fractures, the acid burn
12:02on my calf, the centipede
12:04venom.
12:05None of it compared to
12:05the primal terror of glowing
12:07eyes circling in the dark.
12:08Eight, maybe ten sets.
12:10Timber wolves, coastal
12:11giants, the kind that take
12:12down loose for fun.
12:14One stepped into the
12:15floodlight above me.
12:16Silver gray, 200 pounds
12:18of pure hunger.
12:19Its breath deemed in
12:20the sub-zero air.
12:22I heard the crunch of
12:23its paws, the low rumble
12:24in its chest.
12:26Grayson wanted me
12:27shredded on camera.
12:29Survival instinct kicked
12:30harder than any drug.
12:31I eased backward, inch
12:33by inch.
12:36Running now, princess?
12:38Where's all that
12:40billionaire backbone?
12:41Hide and seek with a wolf pack.
12:44How's that for a
12:44Thanksgiving tradition?
12:46Green eyes multiplied
12:47in the darkness.
12:48Fangs caught the light
12:49like switchblades.
12:51Last chance, Celeste.
12:52Kneel.
12:53Apologize to Mia on stream.
12:55I'll hit the
12:55ultrasonic repellent.
12:56Keep fighting
12:57and you're dinner.
13:01Say you're sorry,
13:02damn it.
13:04This is how
13:05the Montgomery line ends.
13:13She doesn't owe a single
13:15goddamn apology to anyone.
13:18And somewhere above the
13:20tree line, a Blackhawk
13:21chopper roared in low.
13:40Celeste, I've got you.
13:45Nathan Hale swung down
13:47like some avenging
13:48specter, former
13:49Delta Force.
13:50Three-time
13:51national combatives
13:52champion.
13:53And the man my
13:54grandfather trusted
13:55with every dirty secret
13:56the Montgomery
13:57fortune ever needed
13:58buried.
13:59Nathan Hale?
14:00Nathan didn't answer him.
14:03The rage in his stare
14:04could have melted
14:05the glacier behind us.
14:06But his hand stayed
14:08gentle when he stripped
14:09off his plate carrier
14:10parka and wrapped it
14:11around my shaking
14:12shoulders.
14:14Celeste, I've got you.
14:15He scooped me up
14:17like I weighed nothing.
14:18So careful to keep
14:19pressure off the places
14:20where bone pokes
14:21your skin.
14:22I tried to shrink away,
14:23mortified that Nathan
14:24Hale of all people
14:25was seeing me like this
14:27naked, filthy, broken.
14:29It's over, sweetheart.
14:32Nobody touches you
14:33again.
14:34His team dropped in
14:35behind him,
14:36suppressed rifles
14:37barking in short
14:38surgical bursts.
14:39The remaining wolves
14:40scattered into the
14:41dark like they've
14:42never existed.
14:43Who the hell
14:44are you people?
14:46This is a private
14:47matter.
14:48Private?
14:51Kidnapping,
14:52aggravated assault,
14:54attempted murder.
14:55When did federal
14:56felonies become
14:57a couple spat?
14:58Racing Whitmore,
14:59Mia Karen can kill
15:00the stream.
15:01Right now,
15:02or I start putting
15:03rounds through
15:04optics.
15:06And we watch
15:06whose skull
15:09blooms next.
15:11Captain Hale,
15:12sir,
15:12this is a
15:13misunderstanding.
15:14Save it for the
15:15U.S. Attorney
15:16or for the
15:17Montgomery
15:17Legal Division.
15:19Your choice.
15:20Montgomery?
15:21Montgomery?
15:22Which Montgomery?
15:24The one that makes
15:25the Dow twitch
15:26every time the old man
15:27sneezes.
15:27The one your boyfriend's
15:29been siphoning from
15:29for five years
15:30thinking nobody was
15:31watching.
15:34Celeste Montgomery.
15:36Heiress.
15:38Majority shareholder.
15:40And the woman you just
15:41tried to feed to wolves
15:42on Thanksgiving.
15:44Surprise.
15:50Grayson,
15:51the annulment papers
15:52hit your desk
15:53tomorrow morning
15:53and the bankruptcy
15:54petition hits the
15:55Southern District of New York
15:56five minutes later.
15:57Happy Thanksgiving.
15:59Sleep tight
16:00on that private jet cot.
16:07I still couldn't stop
16:09shaking partly from
16:10hypothermia part the
16:11special kind of cold
16:12that settles in your
16:13bones when the man
16:15you loved tries to
16:16murder you for sport.
16:17Nathan knelt between
16:18the jump seats
16:19cleaning blood from
16:20my forearms with
16:21steady marine precision.
16:23Every swipe of the
16:24alcohol wipe felt like
16:25fire but his touch
16:27never faltered.
16:28The patriarchs got the
16:29estate on full lock
16:30down.
16:31Top orthopedic trauma
16:32surgeon out of Johns
16:33Hopkins is already
16:34wheels up from Baltimore.
16:36Your grandfather tried
16:37to charter a C-130 to
16:38come rip Whitmore apart
16:40with his bare hands.
16:41Took three generals to
16:42talk him down.
16:44This one's yours to
16:45finish.
16:46I managed to nod.
16:48Every memory from the
16:49last five years rewound
16:50in high def.
16:51Grayson kissing my
16:52knuckles after the
16:53Montgomery Trust quietly
16:55bailed out his failing
16:56startup.
16:57Mia sliding updated
16:58contracts across his
16:59desk pupils blown wide
17:01with victory.
17:03The way he'd snap.
17:05What is that?
17:07Can you stop being so
17:08paranoid?
17:09Every time I pointed out
17:10her forged signatures,
17:12I'd ignored every red flag
17:14because I thought love
17:15meant trusting harder.
17:16Five years, I'm the
17:18punchline in a joke I
17:20helped write.
17:21You trusted the wrong
17:22person, Celeste.
17:23That doesn't make you stupid.
17:26It makes you human.
17:28And humans get even.
17:36Here's Mia's greatest hits.
17:38We've got her cold.
17:39I scrolled.
17:40She hollowed Whitmore
17:41Enterprises out like a
17:42Thanksgiving turkey and
17:43stuffed the carcass with
17:45iOS.
17:46Another file.
17:48Whitmore's real balance
17:50sheet.
17:51Red ink deep enough to
17:53drown Manhattan.
17:54Our legal team drafted
17:56everything.
17:57Annulment returns every gift,
17:59every trust contribution,
18:00every share he ever
18:02touched.
18:05Attempted murder,
18:06conspiracy,
18:07violation of the
18:08Computer Fraud and Abuse
18:09Act for the Darknet
18:10Stream.
18:11The drone footage alone
18:12will put them away for
18:1325 to life.
18:14I closed my eyes and saw
18:16Patriarch Montgomery's
18:17face crinkled with worry
18:19the last time.
18:20I turned down his offer
18:21to vet Grayson personally.
18:23He'd known.
18:24Of course he'd known.
18:25And I'd been too proud,
18:27too in love,
18:28too blind.
18:33Take me home, Nathan.
18:35Tomorrow we burn their
18:36empire to the ground
18:37and salt the earth.
18:40Copy that, ma'am.
18:42Next stop,
18:43Montgomery State,
18:44Aspen.
18:45Then we make them
18:48wish the wolves
18:49had finished the job.
18:52Five years ago,
18:54I sat across from
18:55Patriarch.
18:55I told him I wanted to
18:57try a relationship
18:58without the Montgomery
19:00name attached.
19:01No private security tale.
19:03No trust fund safety net.
19:06Just me and some guy
19:07from Yale who swore
19:08he loved me for my brain.
19:10Not my portfolio.
19:11The old man's face
19:12went the color of ash.
19:14He smashed his favorite
19:16crystal wine glass on the
19:17floor and roared that
19:18I was throwing away a
19:19century of blood and
19:20steel for a pretty smile.
19:23In the end, he caved
19:25like he always did.
19:26When I dug my heels in...
19:27Play your little game,
19:29Celeste.
19:31But when the world
19:32shows you its teeth,
19:34you come home.
19:40I opened my eyes
19:41in the Blackhawk's
19:42dim cabin.
19:43The morphine finally
19:44wearing off enough
19:44for the words
19:45to cut through the pain.
19:48Noitify every major
19:49outlet, CNN,
19:51Bloomberg, Fox,
19:52The Journal,
19:53all of them.
19:54Tomorrow,
19:5510 a.m. sharp,
19:56Penthouse Ballroom,
19:57Montgomery Global Tower,
19:58mid-down Manhattan.
20:00I'm holding a press
20:00conference.
20:01Copy that.
20:02Comms team's already
20:03spinning up.
20:04We'll have every network
20:05on the continent
20:05begging for seats.
20:09The PR director met me
20:11in the private elevator.
20:12Ma'am, the ballroom's
20:13locked down tighter
20:14than Fort Knox.
20:15We've got every
20:16tier one journalist
20:17from here to Tokyo.
20:18Live feeds to every
20:19financial desk in the world.
20:20The bespoke Armani suit
20:22hid the road rash
20:23and acid burns
20:24like armor.
20:25Only the faint tremor
20:26in my fingers
20:27betrayed the truth.
20:28Tell them I'm on my way.
20:32Thirty minutes later,
20:34I stepped onto the day eyes
20:35under a constellation
20:36of camera flashes,
20:37hot enough to melt steel.
20:39Nathan flanked my right.
20:41Eight more operators
20:42ringed the stage,
20:43hands never far
20:44from concealed Sig Sowers.
20:47Good morning.
20:48Thank you for coming
20:49on short notice.
20:50I'm here to set the record
20:51straight on one matter
20:54and to announce a decision.
20:58Grayson Whitmore stormed in
21:00looking like he'd slept
21:01in a dumpster.
21:02Nia clung to his arm,
21:03mascara tracks carving rivers
21:04through her foundation.
21:06Celeste, you vicious bitch.
21:09What did you do
21:10to my company?
21:12Every account frozen,
21:13every supplier ghosting me.
21:15Do you have any idea
21:17what you've cost me?
21:19Celeste, please.
21:21Gray only lost his mind
21:22because he loves me.
21:24Punish me, not him.
21:26Camera swung like howitzers.
21:28The flash storm was blinding.
21:31Nathan started forward.
21:32I stopped him cold.
21:37Let them through.
21:41Five years, Celeste.
21:43Five years and this is
21:44how you repay me?
21:50I'm telling the truth.
21:53Mia masterminded everything.
21:56She's been jealous of Celeste
21:58since day one.
22:00Kept whispering that Celeste
22:02was sabotaging me.
22:04Laughing at me behind my back.
22:07The Aspen trip.
22:09Her idea.
22:11She said it was just a scare.
22:13A little humiliation
22:14to force the share transfer.
22:16He shoved every ounce of blame
22:17across the hallway
22:18like it could save him.
22:22I'm just a secretary.
22:26Grayson resented Celeste
22:27for years.
22:28Said she lorded her money over him,
22:30treated him like a charity case.
22:31He wanted revenge.
22:32Told me to play along
22:34or he'd destroy my family.
22:35I was trapped.
22:36Please help me.
22:38Two people
22:38who used to finish
22:39each other's sentences
22:40now tore each other apart
22:42like rabid dogs.
22:44Grayson finally ran out of oxygen
22:45and collapsed forward.
22:47The memories hit harder
22:49than any punch.
22:54The night we met
22:55at that Yale alumni mixer,
22:57me in a borrowed dress,
22:58laughing that,
22:59my family ran a couple
23:00hardware stores
23:01back in Pittsburgh.
23:03The week his startup
23:05was bleeding out
23:05and I slid term sheets
23:07across the table.
23:08Montgomery Money Laundered
23:09through a dozen blind trusts.
23:11He never questioned.
23:12The flu that knocked him
23:13flat for six days,
23:14I sleeping upright
23:16in a plastic hospital chair
23:17with my hand on his IV.
23:22Every time I pointed out
23:23Nia's forged invoices
23:25and he snarled.
23:26You're just jealous
23:27and she's better at the job
23:28than you ever were.
23:30All those moments
23:31I thought were love,
23:33he'd seen as charity
23:34from a girl too naive
23:35to know her own worth.
23:45I wasn't some small town
23:47factory owner's daughter.
23:49I was the Montgomery heiress
23:51and I'd wasted five years
23:52shielding his ego
23:53while he sharpened the knife.
24:00I lay perfectly still
24:02while the city's
24:02top orthopedic surgeons
24:04swapped temporary splints
24:05for titanium-laced casts,
24:07light enough
24:07for primetime close-ups.
24:20Whitmore Enterprises is iced.
24:23Every account,
24:24every patent,
24:24every square foot
24:25of real estate
24:26proceeds transferred directly
24:28to your personal restitution trust.
24:30Darknet Rain
24:30has been taken offline
24:31by Cyber Division.
24:33Every username,
24:34every crypto wallet,
24:35our litigation team's
24:37filing suits faster
24:38than they can delete
24:39browser history.
24:40And the ex-Lowbirds
24:40sang like canaries
24:41on the left-right.
24:43Full confessions,
24:44cross-corroborated,
24:45they're tight.
24:46They're looking at 15 to 20.
24:48Easy.
24:49No parole.
24:54You sure you're ready for?
24:56What comes next?
24:58The board's already
24:59floating your name for CEO.
25:01Patriarch wants you
25:02in the corner office
25:03by New Year's.
25:03I flexed my new
25:05titanium-laced forearm.
25:07Felt the bite
25:07of metal meeting bone.
25:09Painful,
25:09perfect,
25:10permanent.
25:17Tell Grandfather
25:18the prodigal's home.
25:19And this time,
25:21I'm not asking
25:22permission.
25:26I ignored him completely,
25:28nodded to Nathan.
25:30The 80-foot LED wall
25:31behind me flared to life.
25:33The Aspen backcountry
25:34filled the screen.
25:36My own screens echoed
25:37through the ballroom sound system.
25:39You said a real player
25:40could walk home naked, right?
25:42Let's test that theory.
25:50The room temperature
25:51seemed to drop 20 degrees.
25:53Grayson went whiter
25:54than the marble floor.
25:57This is the clarification.
25:59I am Celesta Montgomery,
26:02majority shareholder
26:03and designated heir
26:05to Montgomery Global.
26:07Last night,
26:08my fiancé,
26:10Grayson Whitmore,
26:11in collusion with his
26:13executive assistant,
26:14Mia Carrington,
26:16kidnapped me,
26:17drugged me,
26:17and attempted to murder me
26:19on a dark-knit last stream
26:20for sport.
26:26And the decision,
26:27effective immediately,
26:30Montgomery Global
26:31is initiating
26:32Chapter 7 liquidation
26:34of Whitmore Enterprises.
26:35Every asset,
26:37every patent,
26:38every offshore shell
26:39will be seized
26:40to compensate
26:41for emotional distress,
26:42physical damages,
26:44and five years of fraud.
26:47The double doors
26:48opened again,
26:49this time to a phalanx
26:51of U.S. Marshals
26:52in tactical vests.
26:54Grayson Whitmore,
26:55Mia Carrington,
26:57you are under arrest
26:58for kidnapping,
27:00aggravated assault
27:01with a deadly weapon,
27:02attempted murder,
27:03and conspiracy
27:04to commit the same.
27:05You have the right
27:06to remain silent.
27:10Remember when you said
27:11I'd come crawling back
27:12once the money ran out?
27:14Turns out the money
27:15never left.
27:16You did.
27:17The marshals dragged
27:18them past rows
27:19of reporters,
27:20now shouting questions
27:21like machine gun fire.
27:23I stayed on the dais
27:24until the doors slammed
27:25shut behind the circus.
27:27Then I turned
27:28to the cameras
27:29one last time,
27:30voice steady
27:31as the empire
27:31at my back.
27:32Happy Thanksgiving,
27:34America.
27:34Justice is served cold.
27:37And today,
27:38the Montgomery table
27:38is finally full.
27:43Nathan Hale stepped to my side,
27:45offered his arm
27:46for the walkout.
27:47In my head,
27:48I could already hear
27:49Patriarch Montgomery
27:50raising a glass
27:51to the granddaughter
27:52who finally came home.
28:04The trial had been
28:05a coronation in reverse.
28:07Every Montgomery lawyer
28:08in a 500-mile radius
28:10showed up in Zegna
28:11and vengeance.
28:12Evidence stacked higher
28:13than the jury's coffee cups.
28:15His public defender tried
28:16the crime of passion angle,
28:18temporary insanity,
28:19toxic masculinity,
28:21whatever buzzword
28:21might shave off a decade.
28:23It was like watching
28:24a toddler argue
28:25with a tsunami.
28:26It's all going
28:27according to plan.
28:28Your honor,
28:29new evidence.
28:37Gray,
28:38Celeste found
28:39the offshore transfers.
28:40What do I do?
28:41Let her bark.
28:42I'll just say she's jealous
28:43and trying to tank your career.
28:45Keep moving the money.
28:46Once we push her out,
28:47Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
28:48Push her out.
28:49Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
28:51Babe.
29:01Backstabbing bitch!
29:03You were a stepping stone, Grayson.
29:05A very expensive one.
29:07I recorded everything
29:09in case you ever forgot
29:10who held the leash.
29:13He finally understood.
29:15He'd never been the king.
29:17He'd been the pawn
29:18she kept in the front row
29:19in case the queen
29:19decided to sacrifice something.
29:22The judge didn't even
29:24look up from his notes.
29:26Mia Carrington,
29:2715 years.
29:28Federal penitentiary.
29:29Credit for cooperation.
29:31Grayson Whitmore,
29:33kidnapping,
29:33attempted murder,
29:35commercial fraud,
29:36conspiracy.
29:37Life imprisonment,
29:38no parole.
29:39Political rights
29:40terminated for life.
29:44Celeste,
29:45I'm sorry.
29:50I'm sorry.
29:52I'm sorry.
29:53I'm sorry.
29:54I'm sorry.
29:55Grayson's apology
29:56floated behind us,
29:58thin and worthless
29:59as the paper jumpsuit
30:01he'd wear for the rest
30:02of his life.
30:17You just beat
30:18my kill ratio,
30:19ma'am.
30:20The Air Force
30:21is gonna cry.
30:22Hands are better
30:22than ever.
30:23Book the Gulfstream,
30:25G800.
30:26We're doing the globe run.
30:27Pole to pole,
30:2990 hours,
30:30no stops.
30:33Swallowed three competitors
30:35before breakfast
30:35and still found time
30:37to get type-rated
30:38in everything with wings.
30:39You wasn't the girl
30:40who used to wait up
30:40with soup anymore.
30:43I was Celeste Montgomery,
30:44CEO in waiting,
30:46heir to an empire
30:47that made nations blink.
30:52Prison mail.
30:54Whitmore.
30:55Tenth won this month.
30:57Summary?
30:58Same sob story.
30:59He is sorry.
31:00Praise every night.
31:01Misses the old days.
31:02Blames me, I.
31:03Says if she hadn't existed
31:04we'd be married by now.
31:07Wants one visit.
31:08Just one.
31:09Tell Leavenworth
31:10we're done forwarding mail.
31:13Grayson Whitmore
31:14died on that mountain
31:15as far as I'm concerned.
31:17Cremate the rest.
31:18Yes, ma'am.
31:24Are you ready
31:25to face a new storm
31:26at 41,000 feet?
31:28Like making a cup of coffee?
31:30Yep.
31:31Just like the coffee
31:32you made every day.
31:34I didn't slow down.
31:36I didn't need to.
31:38I was flying to everything.
31:46I was flying to everything.
31:48Montgomery Estate, Aspen.
31:50Three days after Thanksgiving.
31:51The snow had stopped falling
31:53but the wind still howled
31:54but the wind still howled
31:54like it wanted back in.
32:03Ma'am,
32:04there's someone at the main gate.
32:06Who?
32:08Grayson Whitmore's mother.
32:10Let her freeze.
32:11Let her freeze.
32:13Copy that.
32:15She's already been out there
32:16two nights.
32:17Security won't even give her coffee.
32:19Good.
32:20When I feel like it,
32:22I'll decide if she gets in.
32:23Not before.
32:25Oh,
32:26and Nathan,
32:27make sure Grayson
32:28gets the morning paper
32:29in his cell.
32:31Front page,
32:32above the fold.
32:34Whitmore enterpurse's liquidated assets
32:36to Montgomery heiress.
32:38I want him to read it
32:39while he eats
32:40his Thanksgiving leftovers.
32:42Cold.
32:42Already on the warden's desk, ma'am.
32:46Day three.
32:46I finally had them escort
32:48Mrs. Whitmore to the East Parlor.
32:54Celeste.
32:55Thank God.
32:57Celeste,
32:58my son is an idiot.
33:00A monster.
33:01Whatever you want to call him.
33:03But he's still my only child.
33:07I'm begging you
33:08look at what we meant
33:09to each other once.
33:10Find it in your heart.
33:12Auntie?
33:14You seem confused.
33:16Your son didn't break my heart.
33:18He committed felony kidnapping
33:20and attempted murder.
33:22You want mercy?
33:23File an appeal
33:24with the First Circuit.
33:28Let me refresh your memory.
33:31Three years ago,
33:32your heart was failing.
33:33Grayson couldn't scrape together
33:3530 grand.
33:36I sold my mother's watch,
33:37the one she wore
33:38the day she died,
33:39so you could have
33:39the best surgeon in Boston.
33:43You woke up,
33:44took my hand,
33:45and told me to stay out
33:46of men's business.
33:49You mistook kindness
33:51for weakness.
33:53You taught your son
33:54the same mistake.
33:56Now you're both
33:57learning the price.
33:58Let's go.
33:59Let me shower.
34:13I stole my foot.
34:36Celeste
34:37wouldn't
34:39She loved me
34:42There's more
34:44Montgomery Legal
34:45just added commercial fraud
34:47to the indictment
34:47They have your original pitch decks
34:50Every inflated revenue number
34:53every fake vendor contract
34:54you used to impress her
34:56back when you thought
34:57she was just a girl
34:58with a trust fund
35:12They're saying
35:13he tried to hang himself
35:15with his jumpsuit
35:16didn't get far
35:18Let him live long enough
35:20to watch every cent
35:21he ever touched
35:22come home to me
35:26Tell Legal to drop the papers
35:28I'm taking the corner office
35:29January 1st
35:32And schedule a board meeting
35:34It's time the world remembered
35:35what happens
35:36when you bet against a Montgomery
35:43You heard the crowd
35:47Let's give our patrons
35:48what they paid for
35:49He zoomed the camera
35:50in obscenely close
35:51letting the lens
35:52trace the line of my collarbone
35:54drip down the bruises
35:55on my ribs
35:55hesitate over every inch
35:57of exposed skin
35:58His greed felt physical
35:59like oily fingers
36:01crawling over me
36:02You always said people
36:03should pay the price
36:04for their mistakes
36:05Celeste
36:06Now look at you
36:07your arms are useless
36:08you can't even dress yourself
36:10Tell me
36:11is this enough
36:11of a consequence
36:12to help you
36:13remember how much
36:14you hurt Mia
36:15I was naked under the floodlight
36:17of the drone
36:17stripped not only of clothing
36:19but of privacy
36:20dignity
36:20and safety
36:21I pressed my forearms
36:23tight against my chest
36:24desperate to shield
36:25whatever fragments of myself
36:26I could still claim
36:30Their laughter oozed into my ears
36:32I felt bile burn
36:33into the back of my throat
36:34My broken bones
36:36scraped against the torn flesh
36:37of my arms
36:38and a cold sweat
36:39spread down my spine
36:41All this
36:42because I reported
36:43Mia's illegal flight
36:45For five years
36:46I helped build
36:47Whitmore Enterprises
36:48from the ground up
36:49For five years
36:49I used Montgomery resources
36:51and old money leverage
36:52to clear his path
36:54fight off his competitors
36:55and shield him
36:56from the consequences
36:57of his own incompetence
36:58I made him into something
37:00I took a scholarship kid
37:02with nothing but ambition
37:03and turned him into a rising star
37:05and now that he thought
37:06my family was losing influence
37:07now that he believed
37:09he no longer needed me
37:10he stripped me
37:11threw me into the wilderness
37:12and broadcasted my suffering
37:14to the highest bitter
37:16Grayson laughed again
37:17loud cruel
37:18almost giddy
37:19with the power
37:20he thought he held
37:21in that moment
37:22I realized
37:22he had never loved me
37:24he had only loved the way
37:25I made him feel powerful
37:27and now he wanted to prove
37:28he could destroy me
37:29just as easily
37:30make sure every paying creep
37:32in that channel
37:32has the time of their lives
37:34it's thanksgiving
37:35give the bosses
37:36something to be thankful for
37:43here's the deal Celeste
37:44transfer 10% of Montgomery Global
37:46right now
37:47right into Mia's name
37:48and I'll have that drone
37:49drop a thermal blanket
37:49before the wolves smell you
37:50otherwise
37:51happy holidays
37:52Gray babe
37:53that's too much
37:55I can't take her shares
37:59Celeste probably hates me
38:01she's always acting like
38:02I'm not good enough
38:03to fly the G650
38:04that she thinks I'm just
38:05some gold digging flight attendant
38:07you've been too busy
38:08closing that Alaska pipeline deal
38:10to finish your pilot's license
38:11too busy closing deals
38:13I almost laughed
38:14even as the aphrodisiac
38:16set my bloodstream on fire
38:17too busy riding Grayson's lap
38:19in the Whitmore boardroom
38:20I collapsed against
38:22the rotting pine needles
38:23every nerve screaming
38:24blood frozen
38:25scarlet icicles on my forearms
38:27where the fall had snapped
38:27both bones
38:28Grayson Whitmore
38:29you make me sick
38:31we're done
38:32the engagement over
