00:02Thanksgiving night was the last calm moment I remembered I tasted black truffle on my tongue
00:08a holiday tart Grayson insisted I try and then everything blurred the world tilted my limbs went
00:14numb and consciousness slipped out of my hands like water through broken glass
00:25when I woke both of my arms were broken the pain sharp and white hot and I was lying somewhere
00:31deep inside the Sierra Nevada wilderness my fiance handed my private jet to his assistant like it
00:41was a party favor I didn't even pause to process the insult my fingers were dialing the FAA emergency
00:51line before the outrage fully settled in my chest and within minutes they intercepted her midair
00:57grounding the plane at the nearest federal airfield when Grayson Whitmore found out he didn't look
01:04shocked he didn't look guilty either he looked irritated at me not her Jesus Celeste he sighed
01:12stroked his forehead as if I were the unreasonable one Mia just wanted to fly home for Thanksgiving
01:17and make a good impression it's not that deep she's still being held by federal officers would
01:23you please go down there and explain it was a misunderstanding they're not going to prosecute
01:27a girl for wanting to feel important sometimes I wondered whether he genuinely believed the bullshit
01:32he said or if he simply thought I was too soft or too in love to call him on it
01:36Grayson this isn't about
01:39feeling important this is about flying a multi-million dollar aircraft without a pilot's license if he was
01:48showing off and people who break federal aviation law should face the consequences even if they flutter
01:54their eyelashes at you he let out a long theatrical exhale the kind meant to signal I was being impossible
02:00before turning away I'll have Whitmore Enterprises legal department deal with it you never know how to pick your
02:12battles the cold earth pressing through my skin like a second heartbeat a red glow washed over me
02:18the beam of an infrared camera before Grayson's voice followed low and venomous you know Mia was detained
02:24for 48 hours because of your little tantrum he asked his tone dangerously calm she was terrified so
02:31you can fly a plane big deal let's see what other impressive skills you have think you can
02:37walk out of here naked and make it home my vision shook but I forced my good fingers what remained
02:43of them to reach the side of my AR tactical glasses the emergency signal was faint but it was there
02:49I pressed the button my voice cutting through the wind in a low steady rasp get here in 30 minutes
02:56and I will owe you everything Celeste Montgomery you're going to apologize to Mia right now
03:02and say out loud that you're nothing but a worthless bitch otherwise you can rot out here in the Sierra
03:07Nevada until the toxins in the air finish you off or until something with fangs does Mia Carrington
03:13nestled comfortably against his chest as if this were some sick holiday movie scene instead of an
03:18attempted murder broadcast to criminals slid into the frame Celeste honey your arms are broken maybe just
03:25give in a little if you apologize I'll ask Gray to pull you out of here Grayson pulled her in
03:31and
03:31kissed her the glow of the screen sharpening the cruelty in his eyes then he lifted the drone controller
03:36sinking our feed to a dark net live stream packed with faceless buyers who treated human suffering like
03:42a sport ladies and gentlemen your Thanksgiving special begins now Celeste Montgomery daughter of old
03:50money royalty former federal wilderness survival specialist we'll attempt to cross the Sierra Nevada
03:55with no gear no clothes and two broken arms place your bets on how long she'll last one thousand
04:02dollars per minute no upper limit you heard the crowd let's give our patrons what they paid for
04:16he zoomed the camera and obscenely close letting the lens trace the line of my collarbone drift down the
04:22bruises on my ribs hesitate over every inch of exposed skin his greed felt physical like oily
04:28fingers crawling over me you always said people should pay the price for their mistakes Celeste now
04:34look at you your arms are useless you can't even dress yourself tell me is this enough of a consequence
04:40to help you remember how much you hurt Mia I was naked under the floodlight of the drone stripped not
04:45only of clothing but of privacy dignity and safety I pressed my forearms tight against my chest desperate to shield
04:52whatever fragments of myself I could still claim their laughter oozed into my ears I felt vile burn into the
05:01back of my throat my broken bones scraped against the torn flesh of my arms and a cold sweat spread
05:07down
05:08my spine all this because I reported Mia's illegal flight for five years I helped build Whitmore Enterprises
05:15from the ground up for five years I used Montgomery resources and old money leverage to clear his path
05:21fight off his competitors and shield him from the consequences of his own incompetence I made him
05:26into something I took a scholarship kid with nothing but ambition and turned him into a rising star and now
05:33that he thought my family was losing influence now that he believed he no longer needed me he stripped
05:38me threw me into the wilderness and broadcasted my suffering to the highest bitter Grayson laughed
05:44again loud cruel almost giddy with the power he thought he held in that moment I realized he had never
05:51loved me
05:51he had only loved the way I made him feel powerful and now he wanted to prove he could destroy
05:56me just as
05:57easily make sure every pain creep in that channel has the time of their lives it's Thanksgiving give the
06:03boss is something to be thankful for here's the deal Celeste transfer 10% of Montgomery Global
06:13right now right into Mia's name and I'll have that drone drop a thermal blanket before the wolves smell
06:17you otherwise happy holidays Gray babe that's too much I can't take her shares Celeste probably hates me
06:28she's always acting like I'm not good enough to fly the g650 that she thinks I'm just some gold digging
06:34flight attendant
06:34you've been too busy closing that Alaska pipeline deal to finish your pilot's license
06:38too busy closing deals I almost laughed even as the aphrodisiac set my bloodstream on fire
06:44too busy riding Grayson's lap in the Whitmore boardroom I collapsed against the rotting pine needles every nerve
06:51screaming blood frozen scarlet icicles on my forearms where the fall had snapped both bones Grayson Whitmore
06:57you make me sick for one heartbeat the mask slipped and I saw the same kid who used to sneak
07:12me into
07:12Met Gallus and promised me the world then Mia whispered something and the mask slammed back down
07:18harder cooler Celeste you can't just throw away five years unless
07:26you already have some side piece lined up some Wall Street wolf waiting in a Park Avenue penthouse
07:38Montgomery Global stock is tanking faster than SPS Celeste you're nothing without me you want to call
07:44the wedding fine when the feds freeze every offshore account your grandfather buried in the Caymans
07:50get that drone in her face give the subscribers the money shot 4k night vision the works I threw up
07:58a
07:58broken arm to shield myself then remembered I was naked underneath the ruins of a $10,000 gown
08:03shame burned hotter than the chemical fire in my veins I curled into a ball slid another foot down the
08:09ice slick slope and nearly pitched into the ravine somewhere below timber wolves started howling real
08:16ones not metaphors Celeste honey just sign the transfer it's only money let Grayson cool off we'll
08:22airlift you out get you a spa day at Mirval pretend this never happened a second drone swooped in
08:26mechanical claw gripping a tablet displaying the share transfer agreement it hovered six inches from my nose
08:33sign or freeze your choice
08:44something slithered over my cheek centipede six inches long Rocky Mountain paranoia venom it crawled into my
08:51ear the pain was so bright I almost welcomed it then gravity took over again I clawed at frozen granite
08:58fingernails snapping and slid closer to the poison ivage oak trap where rattlesnakes denned for winter
09:05keep talking tough princess ten more feet and you're in the viper pit let's see that harbor
09:10mountain negotiate with diamond eyes you're not the Montgomery heiress anymore Celeste Grayson says if
09:15you sign and apologize live admit you framed me for cooking the books tried to send an innocent
09:19girl to federal prison he'll call the chopper I'll even forgive you for that SEC subpoena you paid for
09:24you vicious bitch trying to lock Mia up what about her little sister who needs chemo
09:33the first drone released a glass ampule it shattered at my feet in a hiss of white vapor
09:39the snow around my bare feet melted into black sludge military-grade corrosives flesh on my calf
09:46bubbled like acid on steak I screamed until my throat tore scared yet Celeste apologize to Mia now or the
09:57next one goes in your face I dragged myself an inch uphill blood painting the snow red the metallic
10:04scent drew every leech tick and beetle in a five-mile radius they burrowed under what was left of my
10:10dress I
10:11couldn't swap them off for the first time in 28 years of boardrooms bailouts and Forbes covers
10:18Celeste Montgomery was out of moves I lifted my head to the drone lens to the man who once swore
10:24he'd
10:24burn the world before he let me get hurt Grayson when I get out of here and I will I'm
10:32going to take
10:33everything then the centipede in my ear released its venom the ravine rushed up to swallow me and the
10:40last thing I heard was Mia laughing like she'd already want him everything bled crimson blood mud the
10:51strobing red of the drones emergency LEDs I couldn't tell where one ended and the other began my pulse
10:58hammered so loud I barely heard the dark net chat lose its collective mind even Grayson's executive
11:06assistant started sweating bullets the guy had buried bodies for Whitmore Enterprises in three
11:11continents but live streaming a billionaire heiress getting eaten by wolves apparently crossed a line
11:17mr. Whitmore sir Celeste looks half dead already heart rates crashing on the biometric feed she's not
11:24dying girls like Celeste don't die they just get humbled if she hadn't spent the last five years
11:32trying to frame Mia for securities fraud maybe I'd have gone easy tonight's just a friendly reminder
11:45I force my head up locked eyes with the drones cold lens and let every ounce of Montgomery steel pour
11:51into my glare I did nothing wrong why the hell should I hand over 10% of the company my
11:56great-grandfather
11:57built from steel mills in Pittsburgh just because some trust fund psycho wants to flex bugs please
12:04I'd spent summers tagging grizzlies with federal wildlife teams and catmine before I could legally drink
12:09this was just another Tuesday in hell with everything I had left I rolled onto my back and dragged myself
12:15across the jagged shale rocks tore fresh gashes across my shoulder blades but the pain was a blessing
12:21it scraped off half the leeches and centipedes burrowed into my skin blood mixed with snow into pink slush
12:27yet somewhere in the haze I spotted it a cluster of wild sagebrush glowing faintly under the drones floodlight
12:33the same plant rangers in Denali square by crushed leaves mass blood scent for exactly 11 minutes I take six
12:41lest Montgomery have you no shame beg right now or the next thing coming down that ravine won't be bugs
12:50you never plan to let me walk out of here Grayson dead or broken you decided the second you fight
13:01the champagne
13:02oh my god Celeste what are you doing as I clawed the sagebrush closer bit the stem until bitter
13:09juice flooded my mouth then smeared the pulp across every bleeding wound the alkaloids hit my bloodstream
13:15like ice water numbed the nerve endings killed the scent trail temporary sure but temporary was all I
13:21needed Mia always said you were a snake guess she's right you're trying to fake a suicide pin it on
13:27me
13:28ruin Whitmore Enterprises on Black Friday weekend classic Celeste even half naked in a blizzard
13:34you're still scheming five years Grayson five years I cleaned up your messes quieted the SC buried the
13:42insider trading rumors paid off that flight attendant you knocked up in Vegas without Montgomery Capital
13:49you'd be still slinging dime bags outside Yale for one heartbeat the mask slipped again something
14:00wrong flickered behind those Wall Street eyes guilt maybe or the ghost of the boy who used to sneak
14:04me onto the roof of the Met to watch July 4th fireworks then Mia whispered poison in his ear and
14:11the mask
14:11hardened into granite this chick's got nine lives boss thought she was done 10 minutes ago
14:18then let's burn through the rest I want to see how long that Montgomery pride lasts when the wolves
14:25start chewing Celeste sweetie don't make the wolves angry you're screaming loud enough to wake every
14:32predator from here to Glaciers National Park when you tried to send Mia to federal prison for cooking the books
14:38you cooked up yourself did you warn her open the speakers the drones pay system blasted a recorded
14:44alpha wolf snarl at 180 decibels enough to rattle bones every tree around me exploded with movement
14:51branches snapped snow cascaded the real pack answered the call I froze every muscle seizing pain from my
14:59compound fractures the acid burn on my calf the centipede venom none of it compared to the primal terror of
15:05glowing eyes
15:06circling in the dark eight maybe ten sets timber wolves coastal giants the kind that take down moves for
15:12fun one stepped into the floodlight above me silver gray 200 pounds of pure hunger its breath deemed in the
15:19sub-zero air I heard the crunch of its paws below rumble in its chest Grayson wanted me shredded on
15:27a camera
15:27survival instinct kicked harder than any drug I eased backward inch by inch
15:35running now princess where's all that billionaire backbone hide and seek with a wolf pack how's that
15:43for a thanksgiving tradition green eyes multiplied in the darkness fangs caught the light like switch
15:49blades last chance Celeste kneel apologize to Mia on stream I'll hit the ultrasonic repellent keep fighting
15:56and your dinner say you're sorry damn it this is how the montgomery line ends
16:17and somewhere above the tree line a black hawk chopper roared in low
16:38celeste I've got you
16:44nathan hale swung down like some avenging specter former delta force three-time national combater
16:51champion and the man my grandfather trusted with every dirty secret the montgomery fortune ever needed

17:05but his hand stayed gentle when he stripped off his plate carrier parka and wrapped it around my shaking

17:19places where bone popes your skin I tried to shrink away mortified that nathan hale of all people was seeing

19:55mia sliding updated contracts across his desk pupils blown wide with victory
20:02the way he'd snap what is that can you stop being so paranoid every time i pointed out her forged
20:10signatures i'd ignored every red flag because i thought love meant trusting harder five years i'm the

20:29this is what we want to do
20:36here's mia's greatest hits we've got her cold
20:39i scrolled she hollowed whitmore enterprises out like a thanksgiving turkey and stuffed the carcass
20:43with iOS. Another file. Whitmore's real balance sheet. Red ink deep enough to drown Manhattan.
20:54Our legal team drafted everything. An annulment returns every gift,
20:58every trust contribution, every share he ever touched.
21:04Attempted murder, conspiracy, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for the Darknet
21:09stream. The drone footage alone will put them away for 25 to life. I closed my eyes and saw
21:15Patriarch Montgomery's face crinkled with worry the last time. I turned down his offer to vet Grayson
21:21personally. He'd known. Of course he'd known. And I'd been too proud, too in love, too blind.
21:32Take me home, Nathan. Tomorrow we burn their empire to the ground and salt the earth.
21:39Copy that, ma'am. Next stop, Montgomery State, Aspen. Then we make them.
21:47Wish the Wolves had finished the job.
21:52Five years ago, I sat across from Patriarch. I told him I wanted to try a relationship
21:58without the Montgomery name attached. No private security tale. No trust fund safety net.
22:05Just me and some guy from Yale who swore he loved me for my brain.
22:09Not my portfolio. The old man's face went the color of ash. He smashed his favorite crystal
22:15wine glass on the floor and roared that. I was throwing away a century of blood and steel
22:20for a pretty smile. In the end, he caved like he always did. When I dug my heels in.
22:27Play your little game, Celeste.
22:39I opened my eyes in the Blackhawk's dim cabin. The morphine finally wearing off enough for the words to cut
22:45through the pain.
22:48Noidify every major outlet, CNN, Bloomberg, Fox, The Journal. All of them.
22:54Tomorrow, 10 a.m. sharp. Penthouse Ballroom. Montgomery Global Tower. Mid-down Manhattan.
22:59I'm holding a press conference.
23:00Copy that. Com's team's already spinning up. We'll have every network on the continent begging for seats.
23:08The PR director met me in the private elevator.
23:12Ma'am, the ballroom's locked down tighter than Fort Knox. We've got every tier one journalist from here to Tokyo.
23:17Live feeds to every financial desk in the world.
23:19The bespoke Armani suit hid the road rash and acid burns like armor.
23:23Only the faint tremor in my fingers betrayed the truth.
23:28Tell them I'm on my way.
23:3130 minutes later, I stepped onto the day eyes under a constellation of camera flashes.
23:37Hot enough to melt steel. Nathan flanked my right.
23:40Eight more operators ringed the stage. Hands never far from concealed sig sours.
23:46Good morning. Thank you for coming on short notice.
23:49I'm here to set the record straight on one matter.
23:53And to announce a decision.
23:57Grayson Whitmore stormed in looking like he'd slept in a dumpster.
24:01Mia clung to his arm. Mascara tracks carving rivers through her foundation.
24:05Celeste, you vicious bitch.
24:08What did you do to my company?
24:11Every account frozen, every supplier ghosting me.
24:14Do you have any idea what you've cost me?
24:18Celeste, please.
24:19Gray only lost his mind because he loves me.
24:23Punish me, not him.
24:26Camera swung like howitzers.
24:28The flash storm was blinding.
24:30Nathan started forward.
24:31I stopped him cold.
24:36Let them through.
24:40Five years, Celeste.
24:42Five years and this is how you repay me?
24:47I ignored him completely, nodded to Nathan.
24:50The 80-foot LED wall behind me flared to life.
24:54The Aspen backcountry filled the screen.
24:56My own screen echoed through the ballroom sound system.
25:00You said a real player could walk home naked, right?
25:02Let's test that theory.
25:10The room temperature seemed to drop 20 degrees.
25:14Grayson went whiter than the marble floor.
25:17This is the clarification.
25:19I am Celeste Montgomery, majority shareholder, and designated heir to Montgomery Global.
25:27Last night my fiancé, Grayson Whitmore, in collusion with his executive assistant Mia Carrington,
25:36kidnapped me, drug me, and attempted to murder me on a dark-knit last stream for sport.
25:46And the decision, effective immediately,
25:51Montgomery Global is initiating Chapter 7 liquidation of Whitmore Enterprises.
25:56Every asset, every patent, every offshore shell will be seized to compensate for emotional distress,
26:03physical damages, and five years of fraud.
26:08The double doors opened again, this time to a phalanx of U.S. Marshals in tactical vests.
26:15Grayson Whitmore, Mia Carrington, you are under arrest for kidnapping,
26:20aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit the same.
26:25You have the right to remain silent.
26:30Remember when you said I'd come crawling back once the money ran out?
26:34Turns out the money never left.
26:36You did.
26:37The marshals dragged them past rows of reporters,
26:40now shouting questions like,
26:42machine gun fire.
26:43I stayed on the dais until the doors slammed shut behind the circus.
26:48Then I turned to the cameras one last time, voice steady as the empire at my back.
26:53Happy Thanksgiving, America.
26:55Justice is served cold.
26:57And today the Montgomery table is finally full.
27:03Nathan Hale stepped to my side, offered his arm for the walkout.
27:07In my head, I could already hear Patriarch Montgomery raising a glass
27:11to the granddaughter who finally came home.
27:23I'm telling the truth.
27:26Mia masterminded everything.
27:28She's been jealous of Celeste since day one.
27:32Kept whispering that Celeste was sabotaging me.
27:37Laughing at me behind my back.
27:40The ass been tripping.
27:41Her idea.
27:43She said it was just a scare.
27:45A little humiliation to force the share transfer.
27:48He shoved every ounce of blame across the hallway.
27:51Like it could save him.
27:55I'm just a secretary.
27:58Grayson resented Celeste for years.
28:01Said she lorded her money over him.
28:02Treated him like a charity case.
28:04He wanted revenge.
28:05Told me to play along or he'd destroy my family.
28:08I was trapped.
28:09Please help me.
28:10Two people who used to finish each other's sentences now tore each other apart like rabid dogs.
28:16Grayson finally ran out of oxygen and collapsed forward.
28:20The memories hit harder than any punch.
28:27The night we met at that Yale alumni mixer, me in a borrowed dress, laughing that, my family ran a
28:33couple hardware stores back in Pittsburgh.
28:36The week his startup was bleeding out and I slid term sheets across the table, Montgomery money laundered through a
28:42dozen blind trusts he never questioned.
28:45The flu that knocked him flat for six days.
28:47I sleeping upright in a plastic hospital chair with my hand on his IV.
28:55Every time I pointed out Mia's forged invoices and he snarled.
28:59You're just jealous and she's better at the job than you ever were.
29:03All those moments I thought were love he'd seen as charity from a girl too naive to know her own
29:09worth.
29:18I wasn't some small town factory owner's daughter.
29:21I was the Montgomery heiress and I'd wasted five years shielding his ego while he sharpens the knife.
29:32I lay perfectly still while the city's top orthopedic surgeons swapped temporary splints for titanium-laced casts, light enough for
29:40primetime close-ups.
29:53Whittmore Enterprises is iced.
29:55Every account, every patent, every square foot of real estate proceeds transferred directly to your personal restitution trust.
30:02Darknet Rain has been taken offline by Cyber Division.
30:05Every username, every crypto wallet.
30:08Our litigation team's filing suits faster than they can delete browser history.
30:12And the ex-lowbirds sang like canaries on Black Friday.
30:15Full confessions, cross-corroborated, airtight.
30:19They're looking at 15 to 20.
30:20Easy, no parole.
30:27You sure you're ready for?
30:28What comes next?
30:30The board's already floating your name for CEO.
30:34Patriarch wants you in the corner office by New Year's.
30:36I flexed my new titanium-laced forearm.
30:39Felt the bite of metal meeting bone.
30:41Painful, perfect, permanent.
30:49Tell Grandfather the prodigal's home.
30:52And this time, I'm not asking permission.
30:59Montgomery Estate, Aspen.
31:01Three days after Thanksgiving.
31:03The snow had stopped falling, but the wind still howled like it wanted back in.
31:15Ma'am, there's someone at the main gate.
31:18Who?
31:19Grayson Whitmore's mother.
31:22Let her freeze.
31:24Copy that.
31:26She's already been out there two nights.
31:29Security won't even give her coffee.
31:31Good.
31:32When I feel like it, I'll decide if she gets in.
31:35Not before.
31:37Oh, and Nathan.
31:39Make sure Grayson gets the morning paper in his cell.
31:42Front page, above the fold.
31:46Whitmore Enterpurse's liquidated assets to Montgomery heiress.
31:50I want him to read it while he eats his Thanksgiving leftovers.
31:53Cold.
31:54Already on the warden's desk, ma'am.
31:57Day three.
31:58I finally had them escort Mrs. Whitmore to the East Parlor.
32:06Celeste.
32:06Thank God.
32:09Celeste, my son is an idiot.
32:11A monster.
32:13Whatever you want to call him.
32:15But he's still my only child.
32:18I'm begging you to look at what we meant to each other once.
32:22Find it in your heart.
32:24Auntie?
32:25You seem confused.
32:28Your son didn't break my heart.
32:30He committed felony kidnapping and attempted murder.
32:33You want mercy?
32:35File an appeal with the First Circuit.
32:40Let me refresh your memory.
32:42Three years ago, your heart was failing.
32:45Grayson couldn't scrape together 30 grand.
32:47I sold my mother's watch, the one she wore the day she died,
32:50so you could have the best surgeon in Boston.
32:54You woke up, took my hand, and told me to stay out of men's business.
33:01You mistook kindness for weakness.
33:04You taught your son the same mistake.
33:07Now you're both learning the price.
33:47Celeste wouldn't...
33:49She loved me.
33:53There's more.
33:56Montgomery Legal just added commercial fraud to the indictment.
34:00They have your original pitch decks.
34:03Every inflated revenue number, every fake vendor contract you used to impress her,
34:07back when you thought she was just a girl with a trust fund.
34:24They're saying he tried to hang himself with his jumpsuit.
34:28Didn't get far.
34:30Let him live long enough to watch every cent he ever touched come home to me.
34:38Tell Legal to drop the papers.
34:40I'm taking the coroner office January 1st.
34:44And schedule a board meeting.
34:46It's time the world remembered what happens when you bet against a Montgomery.
34:56The trial had been a coronation in reverse.
35:00Every Montgomery lawyer in a 500-mile radius showed up in Zegna and vengeance.
35:05Evidence stacked higher than the jury's coffee cups.
35:07His public defender tried the crime of passion angle, temporary insanity, toxic masculinity,
35:13whatever buzzword might shave off a decade.
35:16It was like watching a toddler argue with a tsunami.
35:18It's all going according to plan.
35:21Your Honor, new evidence.
35:29Gray, Celeste found the offshore transfers.
35:32What do I do?
35:33Let her bark.
35:34I'll just say she's jealous and trying to tank your career.
35:37Keep moving the money.
35:38Once we push her out, Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
35:41Push her out.
35:42Whitmore Enterprises is yours.
35:54Backstabbing bitch!
35:55You were a stepping stone, Grayson.
35:58A very expensive one.
36:00I recorded everything in case you ever forgot who held the leash.
36:06He finally understood.
36:08He'd never been the king.
36:09He'd been the pawn she kept in the front row in case the queen decided to sacrifice something.
36:15The judge didn't even look up from his notes.
36:18Mia Carrington, 15 years.
36:20Federal penitentiary.
36:21Credit for cooperation.
36:24Grayson Whitmore.
36:25Kidnapping.
36:26Attempted murder.
36:27Commercial fraud.
36:28Conspiracy.
36:29Life imprisonment.
36:30No parole.
36:32Political rights terminated for life.
36:36Celeste.
36:38I'm sorry.
36:43I'm sorry.
36:44I'm sorry.
36:45I'm sorry.
36:47I'm sorry.
36:48Grayson's apology floated behind us.
36:51Thin and worthless as the paper jumpsuit he'd wear for the rest of his life.
37:10You just beat my kill ratio, ma'am.
37:12The Air Force is gonna cry.
37:14Hands are better than ever.
37:16Book the Gulfstream.
37:18G800.
37:18We're doing the globe run.
37:20Pole to pole.
37:2290 hours.
37:23No stops.
37:26Swallowed three competitors before breakfast.
37:28And still found time to get type rated in everything with wings.
37:32You wasn't the girl who used to wait up with soup anymore.
37:35I was Celeste Montgomery.
37:37CEO in waiting.
37:39Heir to an empire that made nations blink.
37:45Prison mail.
37:46Whitmore.
37:47Tenth won this month.
37:50Summary?
37:50Same sob story.
37:51He is sorry.
37:52Prays every night.
37:53Misses the old days.
37:54Blames me.
37:56Says if she hadn't existed, we'd be married by now.
37:59Wants one visit.
38:00Just one.
38:02Tell Leavenworth we're done forwarding mail.
38:05Grayson Whitmore died on that mountain as far as I'm concerned.
38:10Cremate the rest.
38:11Yes, ma'am.
38:17Are you ready to face a new storm at 41,000 feet?
38:21Like making a cup of coffee?
38:22Yep.
38:24Just like the coffee you made every day.
38:27I didn't slow down.
38:28I didn't need to.
38:31I was flying to everything.
38:41I don't know.
38:41I forgot to say that.
38:41You
