Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You poisoned my boy! Your own brother!
00:00:03Accused of poisoning the brother she tried to save, Riley Kirk is cast out by the family who raised her.
00:00:10But their rejection unlocks the truth they never saw coming.
00:00:13She isn't the Kirk's abandoned orphan.
00:00:16She is the long-lost heiress of the Owen family.
00:00:19The wealthiest dynasty in Cawthorn.
00:00:22A genius healer known as Healing Hand.
00:00:25A champion racer forced to hide in the shadows.
00:00:28Riley has always been extraordinary, but no one ever let her shine.
00:00:33Riley exposes lies, destroys a corrupt medical empire, and claims every victory stolen from her.
00:00:42This is not a story about a lost girl finding in a rich family.
00:00:48This is the story of a queen returning to take back her crown.
00:00:57How could you do this?
00:00:59Stacey warned me you were trying to poison me.
00:01:01I keep telling you.
00:01:02It purges the old blood.
00:01:04It's the only way for you to recover.
00:01:06Please, Riley, stop lying.
00:01:08Leland tested your medicine.
00:01:10It's full of toxins.
00:01:11You fool.
00:01:13Powerful medicine is never mild.
00:01:16He needs a strong dose to fight what's killing him.
00:01:19He's spitting up blood.
00:01:21Your pride is going to be the death of him.
00:01:23I found a real specialist, Riley.
00:01:25Just admit you were wrong.
00:01:27You hear that?
00:01:28First you poisoned me, then you attacked Stacey.
00:01:31Apologize to her!
00:01:32Now!
00:01:33I only ever wanted to help you.
00:01:36I owe her nothing.
00:01:41Let's be plain.
00:01:42You're an outsider.
00:01:43Stacey is our true sister.
00:01:45What are you talking about?
00:01:47We kept it a secret for your sake.
00:01:48If you won't admit your mistake, then leave.
00:01:50Go back to your birth family and live as they do.
00:01:54That suits me just fine.
00:02:00Ryrie, wait!
00:02:01Don't leave like this!
00:02:02Please, don't make me feel like the villain!
00:02:04Let her go, Stacey.
00:02:06A heart that cold belongs with her impoverished family.
00:02:09She never deserved this home.
00:02:13You fools.
00:02:14Without my medicine, let's see how long your good Forge keeps him walking.
00:02:26You promised she'd been located.
00:02:29Why isn't my granddaughter here?
00:02:30Our search stalled in Krolex.
00:02:33After she was trafficked, her records vanished completely.
00:02:37Eighteen years.
00:02:38The hardships she must have endured.
00:02:41Grandfather, there's progress.
00:02:43A kidnapper confessed she was sold to a rich woman in Krolus.
00:02:47We're close.
00:02:48Then I'm coming with you.
00:02:50We will find her together.
00:03:14Miss Kirk, welcome back.
00:03:16Always good to see you.
00:03:20Riley, I was just about to come find you.
00:03:22I'm out of those pills you made for me.
00:03:24Swing by the clinic tomorrow.
00:03:25I'll be there all day.
00:03:26And you.
00:03:27I told you that neck brace is making things worse.
00:03:29Take it off.
00:03:30Can I at least try a few easy exercises?
00:03:33Take it slow.
00:03:34Don't be reckless.
00:03:42Welcome home, Riley.
00:03:44You have two encrypted voicemails and your bath is ready.
00:03:47Ten grand.
00:03:49Is that all the Kirks think I'm worth?
00:03:52Like I'm some beggar.
00:03:54Play my messages.
00:03:55Are you still clinging to the Kirks?
00:03:57I've been wiping the floor with Phillip in practice.
00:04:09I want half of the prize money.
00:04:11Done.
00:04:11Phillip's team doesn't scare me.
00:04:13I never lose to him, Riley.
00:04:14I always lose to you.
00:04:18Funny how obvious it is, but they still manage to overlook everything I do.
00:04:22By the way, the Owen family, the wealthiest in Covrin, are here looking for their missing daughter.
00:04:28They're offering serious money.
00:04:33No interest.
00:04:34I have finals coming up.
00:04:36I'll pass.
00:04:37See you.
00:04:44Riley, I'm in a real bind.
00:04:46My old friend's son is declined again.
00:04:48I'll be at the clinic tomorrow evening.
00:04:50Tell him to come then.
00:04:51He can't leave the hospital.
00:04:53He's in the VIP wing, under strict protocol.
00:04:56Enough stalling, Rory.
00:04:58Who is the patient?
00:05:00It's Brad Morgan.
00:05:03General Sean Morgan's grandson.
00:05:06The war hero?
00:05:07What could possibly bring him down?
00:05:10They're offering $20 million, Riley, to anyone who can cure him.
00:05:21Tell them I'll take the case.
00:05:31Riley, I told you to handle the data organization.
00:05:35Professor, I...
00:05:36Stacy was here at dawn.
00:05:39Are you trying to get kicked out of my research group?
00:05:43Get here immediately!
00:05:46Get here immediately!
00:06:03Well, well.
00:06:04Look who finally decided to show up.
00:06:06Having trouble, Riley?
00:06:08You think you're special, ditching your work?
00:06:16Professor Powell has enough of your arrogance.
00:06:20Your lab access is locked.
00:06:23Your days in this research group are over.
00:06:29I know you are in a bad mood.
00:06:32You should go plead with Professor Powell for it.
00:06:35If you're kicked out...
00:06:37You'll never graduate.
00:06:43That's perfect.
00:06:44I already quit.
00:06:53I sent my withdrawal report to the professor this morning.
00:07:02Your work isn't worthy.
00:07:03Keep working on.
00:07:04And it won't win the competition.
00:07:06You're quitting the group?
00:07:07But the medical competition is coming up!
00:07:10You can't just walk away from the team!
00:07:12Don't give her special treatment just because you're related, Stacy.
00:07:19Is your concern for me genuine?
00:07:21Or is this just another act?
00:07:23Of course I am really concerned!
00:07:27Be serious.
00:07:29This team is a lost cause.
00:07:32Six months and you've achieved nothing without me.
00:07:35I'm not here to babysit incompetence.
00:07:38Don't flatter yourself!
00:07:42You wouldn't even be on this team if Stacy hadn't vouched for you!
00:07:57You're all future doctors.
00:07:59Surely setting a dislocated joint isn't beyond your skills?
00:08:12Riley, you nap in my lab and now you're assaulting teammates?
00:08:17You are no longer a member of this team!
00:08:21Didn't you read my email?
00:08:23I already sent my resignation.
00:08:26You don't get to quit!
00:08:28I am expelling you!
00:08:31I'll post the official notice on the university website for everyone to see!
00:08:38Whatever.
00:08:47The second day.
00:09:04Give him space!
00:09:05Don't crowd him!
00:09:07Let some air in!
00:09:08Out of the way!
00:09:09What do you think you're doing?
00:09:12Riley, listen to him.
00:09:15If something goes wrong, it's on you.
00:09:17He's the expert here.
00:09:19You have no business treating anyone.
00:09:21You're just an experienced student.
00:09:24Get away from him!
00:09:25Now!
00:09:36Stop what you're doing.
00:09:37This is textbook heatstroke.
00:09:39He needs CPR, not your reckless experiments.
00:09:41Riley, listen to him.
00:09:42You almost killed Nicholas yesterday.
00:09:43Do you want to end up in jail?
00:09:45His trachea is defiated.
00:09:46He has a tension pneumothorax.
00:09:48Your CPR will kill him.
00:09:49You're a glorified assistant who files paperwork!
00:09:52If you can revive him with that needle, the mentor's chair is yours!
00:09:57A hiss of air?
00:09:58He's breathing again.
00:10:00She was right all along.
00:10:03I knew it was a pneumothorax.
00:10:05I was merely testing Riley.
00:10:07She has a reputation for cutting corners.
00:10:10You risked my life for a test?
00:10:12You are no doctor.
00:10:14Now apologize to my savior.
00:10:16But Professor Powell's intentions were good.
00:10:18He shouldn't have to apologize.
00:10:20And why shouldn't he?
00:10:25Mr. Owen, we are so sorry for this.
00:10:29Please, let us escort you to our facility.
00:10:32Make him apologize to her.
00:10:33Now.
00:10:35Timothy!
00:10:36Apologize to Riley, or you will lose your position here!
00:10:42I was wrong, Riley.
00:10:44I apologize.
00:10:52This is an Owen family token.
00:10:54It's redeemable for any favor.
00:10:55If you ever need anything, call the number on the back.
00:11:00The Owen family?
00:11:01I heard they're on campus searching for their lost daughter.
00:11:04Wait, their missing daughter is a student here?
00:11:08Who could it be?
00:11:14You've crossed the line.
00:11:16You're officially done.
00:11:19Wait.
00:11:20That glowing vial in your hand.
00:11:23That's Nexu 7, isn't it?
00:11:26It is.
00:11:27Is there a reason you ask?
00:11:29You made it yourself?
00:11:31How?
00:11:36I've spent three years and run out of materials
00:11:39trying to perfect this formula.
00:11:41I just followed standard protocol.
00:11:43I'm Vivian Estrada.
00:11:45Join my lab.
00:11:50I'll get your work into leading journals,
00:11:53give you your own project,
00:11:54any resource you need.
00:11:56Professor Estrada.
00:11:58Professor Estrada.
00:11:58That compound actually came from our lab's group work.
00:12:02Riley took it without permission.
00:12:05Is that so?
00:12:07Are you saying she isn't the one who produced it?
00:12:10Exactly.
00:12:11Stacy did most of the work.
00:12:12She managed all the data.
00:12:14If it was made in our lab, it's because of her.
00:12:16Please.
00:12:17It was just teamwork.
00:12:18I only did what I could.
00:12:19Stacy is our star, the backbone of the team.
00:12:23Ryo, on the other hand, rarely pulls her weight.
00:12:27Stacy.
00:12:27If that's true, come with me now.
00:12:29Reproduce this in my lab,
00:12:31and every offer I just made is yours.
00:12:36Thank you, Professor.
00:12:37I promise to give it everything I have.
00:12:41Stacy.
00:12:43Stacy.
00:13:04Shouldn't you be in your finals?
00:13:06Why are you here?
00:13:08Are you following me?
00:13:10Don't flatter yourself.
00:13:11I didn't follow you.
00:13:12What business would a freshman possibly have at a theorist's pharmacy?
00:13:17You can't get past the front desk without a VIP card.
00:13:21Did you trail me here to beg me for help?
00:13:24Hoping I would persuade Nicholas to take you back?
00:13:27You're not setting foot in the Kirk family residence again.
00:13:34Until you own up to everything you did wrong.
00:13:40You don't belong here, Riley.
00:13:42Stirring up trouble with these people will get the Kirk family in hot water.
00:13:45Did you get what I asked for, Mr. Kirk?
00:13:47Your brother doesn't have time to waste.
00:13:53If you care about Nicholas, don't give him that.
00:13:56It will do more harm than good.
00:14:00You're just a child.
00:14:03Our pharmacy's reputation is built on generations of trust.
00:14:07Nicholas only got worse because of your so-called cure.
00:14:10Stacy found a wild family doctor who got us this medicine from a theorist.
00:14:14Keep spreading lies, and I'll see to it you're banned from Cro-Lace for good.
00:14:24Miss Kirk, welcome.
00:14:26Freddie, prep this compound.
00:14:28Tag it at three million and put it up for sale.
00:14:30This batch looks phenomenal.
00:14:33Is this the Nexo 7 the Morgan family have been searching for?
00:14:37I just finished it.
00:14:39Also, revoke Leland's VIP privileges.
00:14:43From now on, he pays full price.
00:14:46I've been wanting to do that myself.
00:14:48They never value what you do for them.
00:14:51Almost forgot.
00:14:52Miss Hobbits is next door again, handing out free consultations.
00:14:56Letter.
00:14:56Don't charge for it.
00:14:58Call it charity.
00:15:03We're here for Nexo 7.
00:15:04Do you have any?
00:15:08That vial.
00:15:08This is for the Morgan family.
00:15:10We need to buy it immediately.
00:15:11Three million.
00:15:12It will be ready for pickup in two days.
00:15:15That won't do.
00:15:16Mr. Morgan can't wait that long.
00:15:18We need it right now!
00:15:24You can't administer Nexo 7 straight away.
00:15:27It's toxic in its current form and needs special processing.
00:15:31We don't have time.
00:15:32This is a life or death emergency!
00:15:35Freddy box it up.
00:15:38I'll go with them and oversee the preparation myself.
00:15:41Understood, Miss Kirk.
00:15:43You can't be serious.
00:15:45What's a kid like you gonna do?
00:15:47Why not send out someone with real authority?
00:15:58Hand over the Nexo 7.
00:15:59I am Crolex' top doctor.
00:16:04I will take charge of Mr. Morgan's care.
00:16:09This is pure Nexo 7.
00:16:11It's dangerously unstable.
00:16:13Only I can administer it safely.
00:16:15You, a courier?
00:16:17Don't make a fool of yourself.
00:16:19Yosef, take the vial from her.
00:16:27Who do you think you are, assaulting my apprentice?
00:16:31If your family touches this medicine, Brad's death certificate is on you.
00:16:35Not my pharmacy.
00:16:37Is there anyone here who will absolutely guarantee my grandson's survival?
00:16:42Step forward.
00:16:43I will, of course.
00:16:44We all will.
00:16:46If you make a mistake, and my grandson suffers,
00:16:49you will not leave this estate alive.
00:16:52Mr. Morgan, no one can guarantee a recovery.
00:16:55Retract your threat, or he won't make it to mourning!
00:17:00Let me handle it.
00:17:01I'm willing to stake my life on this.
00:17:11Stay away from me!
00:17:13Get out!
00:17:14I'm not here to harm you, Brad.
00:17:16I'm here to help.
00:17:17No one can help.
00:17:19If you stay, I'll lose control.
00:17:22You'll be hurt!
00:17:25You're facing a rare disorder.
00:17:27Muscle spasms, nerve stiffening, leading to total paralysis.
00:17:32Nexo 7 only slows the damage.
00:17:34You know all that, and you still want to throw your life away?
00:17:38Everyone else believes there's no cure.
00:17:41But I've never met an illness that could defeat me.
00:17:45You will see mourning, because I say so.
00:17:51Mr. Morgan, will you risk everything on my word?
00:17:55If I fail, I'll put my own life on the line.
00:18:02This is an alkaline agent.
00:18:04It will offset the poison, but the pain will get worse before it gets better.
00:18:11Go ahead.
00:18:30Don't try to knock yourself out.
00:18:33Let the medicine work.
00:18:35The worst will pass.
00:18:37Just hold on a little longer.
00:18:43You've won.
00:18:45The pain is gone.
00:18:48Didn't I promise you'd make it till morning?
00:18:51Mr. Sean, he's stable.
00:18:53The new medicine is highly effective.
00:18:58Follow her.
00:18:59Find out who she works for.
00:19:01I want to know who dares steal my credit.
00:19:05Here is your payment.
00:19:07Ten million.
00:19:09I hope you'll return to check on my grandson.
00:19:13Wait.
00:19:14What is your name?
00:19:15How can I send for you next time?
00:19:18I'll come when you need me.
00:19:25What else can I do?
00:19:26The poor have nowhere else to go.
00:19:28The hospital says I have malignant lymphoma.
00:19:30They want to do surgery, but I can't afford it.
00:19:34It's hopeless, isn't it?
00:19:36They've already taken 20,000 from me for these tests.
00:19:43Ma'am, are you certain these records are yours?
00:19:46They don't match my examination.
00:19:51What did you just say?
00:19:53I said there is no tumor.
00:19:54They told that woman she had a tumor, Riley.
00:19:57For a common clove.
00:19:59The doctors at Vitalink scare people into expensive surgeries just to line their pockets.
00:20:05I know.
00:20:06And I share the blame.
00:20:09My connections to the Wild Family gave them that power.
00:20:12Then you have to be the one to take it away.
00:20:15You can't let them use your influence to hurt innocent people.
00:20:24Publish this on the dark web from Atheris Pharmacy.
00:20:27The Wild Family is guilty of Malkochics.
00:20:29We are severing all ties.
00:20:31Anyone connected to them is now our enemy.
00:20:36Ma'am.
00:20:36I have photos.
00:20:38The girl is working with an old woman named Sela at a tiny pharmacy.
00:20:42They're stealing our patients.
00:20:47Sela.
00:20:48My old rival from medical school.
00:20:51She thinks she can use some puppet to destroy my family's business.
00:20:56What are your orders?
00:20:58Send someone to rough up their little shop.
00:21:02Then, forge an invitation from the Morgan family.
00:21:06Let's see how the great Dr. Sela handles a patient she can't possibly cure.
00:21:12Grandma!
00:21:13Something terrible has happened!
00:21:16What is it now?
00:21:20Compose yourself.
00:21:21You're supposed to be a genius healer.
00:21:24It's Atheris Pharmacy.
00:21:25They posted on the dark web.
00:21:27They've cut all ties.
00:21:29They declared the entire Wild Family an enemy.
00:21:32What?
00:21:33No.
00:21:34It can't be.
00:21:36Why would they destroy us now?
00:21:44That's Fred Dury's new Panamera.
00:21:46But he's with Stacy?
00:21:48I thought he was engaged to Riley.
00:21:52Please.
00:21:53Who would want to be seen with that idiot anyway?
00:21:56Riley!
00:22:00Riley!
00:22:00Riley, please don't get the wrong idea.
00:22:02There's nothing between me and Mr. Dury.
00:22:04I'm sorry.
00:22:07Ah!
00:22:09Riley!
00:22:10Blame me!
00:22:11I'm the unfaithful one!
00:22:12Don't you dare pick on Stacy!
00:22:14Pick on her?
00:22:16She threw herself down.
00:22:18What do you want from me?
00:22:20Fred, it was my own clumsiness.
00:22:23Ryla had nothing to do with it.
00:22:24Please, stop!
00:22:26Enough!
00:22:27Stacy's not the scheming type!
00:22:29You use your family name to keep her down
00:22:32while you fail every exam!
00:22:34If she outshines me in every way,
00:22:37why not call off our engagement?
00:22:39Why keep her as your secret lover?
00:22:43You're twisting everything.
00:22:44I never made her my side piece.
00:22:46Weren't you just confessing you were the unfaithful one?
00:22:49Please, Riley, it's my fault.
00:22:51After Fred found out about your relationships with other men,
00:22:54he turned to me for comfort.
00:22:59How could you strike her?
00:23:05Every night I was in the lab or helping your brother's career.
00:23:08For your sake.
00:23:09Is this how you repay me?
00:23:11You're just a fake heiress who was thrown out.
00:23:14You've accomplished nothing.
00:23:16Why is it always Stacy who comes out on top?
00:23:18What makes you think I'm not capable of acing the exams?
00:23:20Fine!
00:23:21If you get first place, I'll kneel and beg for your forgiveness.
00:23:23If you fail, you'll crawl around the track for everyone to see.
00:23:26Agreed.
00:23:27But when I win, you'll be the one crawling.
00:23:29Riley, stop!
00:23:30You'll only drag the Kirk family's name through the mud.
00:23:33Are you willing to bet, too?
00:23:34Bet that I'll take the top spot in the department?
00:23:37If I don't outscore her, then I'll accept the loss as mine, too.
00:23:42Let every student here serve as witness to our agreement.
00:23:45Hold back, Brock.
00:23:46She can handle herself.
00:23:48Sir, if Riley really is the miracle doctor,
00:23:50why would she ruin her own reputation like this?
00:23:55Will she come out on top?
00:23:58She'll do it.
00:24:00If not, you'll have to watch her eat cop.
00:24:04There's still time to back out, Riley.
00:24:07Just say you're sorry.
00:24:08No chance.
00:24:10I'd much rather see you crawling.
00:24:23You're not even at the bottom this time, Riley.
00:24:26Maybe it's time you stop trying to compete with me.
00:24:28Looks like you owe me, Riley.
00:24:30A deal's a deal.
00:24:33Why don't you check the top of the list?
00:24:35Oh, my God.
00:24:36It's Riley's name.
00:24:38Riley's ring's ring's first.
00:24:43That's not possible.
00:24:47Impossible.
00:24:49Ryla must have cheated.
00:24:57So the moment I come in first, it must be cheating?
00:25:01Fred, let's just pretend her results are real.
00:25:04She's been rejected by her brothers.
00:25:06Let her have this moment.
00:25:09We've received complaints.
00:25:10Ryla, Stacy, you're all coming to my office.
00:25:12We need to call your parents.
00:25:14My family's far away.
00:25:16I can't reach them.
00:25:17Don't worry, principal.
00:25:19I'll call my second brother, Leland.
00:25:22Ryla is still family.
00:25:23She just made a mistake.
00:25:32Cheating on your exam just to get my attention?
00:25:35Do you realize how foolish you're being?
00:25:37I didn't cheat.
00:25:39You're still lying?
00:25:41Stacy did your work for years.
00:25:43Just admit what you did and ask for leniency.
00:25:46This is for your own good.
00:25:47For my own good?
00:25:48Then why label me a cheater before even investigating?
00:25:51There's nothing to investigate.
00:25:53She cheated out of jealousy.
00:25:54She's no longer part of our family.
00:25:56Do what you must.
00:25:57So you plan to cheat to win our bet?
00:26:00Kneel and apologize to Stacy or pay up?
00:26:04What bet?
00:26:05It's nothing, Leland.
00:26:06Fred was just defending me.
00:26:07The bet shouldn't count.
00:26:09The bet stands.
00:26:10Riley is no longer one of us.
00:26:15Rory, there's an issue here.
00:26:16My principal thinks I cheated.
00:26:18Can you come deal with it?
00:26:20You really think someone will save you now?
00:26:23Principal, wait!
00:26:25Riley recently saved a critical patient at the research institute.
00:26:29We cannot accuse her of cheating so lightly.
00:26:32I know my sister.
00:26:34She cheated.
00:26:35Punish her.
00:26:37Ryler, if you believe you're innocent,
00:26:39I have a more challenging test.
00:26:41Score above 80% and we'll know the truth.
00:26:44Okay.
00:26:45I'd like to try it.
00:26:47You're not backing out now, are you, Stacy?
00:26:53If that's what it takes to reassure you,
00:26:55I'm fine going through with it.
00:26:56Let's see what kind of score you can achieve.
00:27:05Riley, take it easy.
00:27:06We trust you.
00:27:08Don't push yourself unnecessarily.
00:27:10She's just too stubborn to admit the truth.
00:27:12This will finally prove she's a fraud.
00:27:19Look, Riley.
00:27:20Fred wasn't someone I wanted to steal from you.
00:27:23There's no reason for resentment.
00:27:25Don't ignore Stacy.
00:27:26Didn't anyone teach you basic manners?
00:27:28You seem to be the one lacking basic manners.
00:27:31Are you blind?
00:27:32I'm busy here.
00:27:33Stacy, please hold your comments until after Riley finishes.
00:27:42Her handwriting is barely readable.
00:27:45Don't strain yourselves trying to decipher nonsense.
00:27:49On the contrary, Riley has exceeded expectations.
00:27:53Her answers aren't just correct.
00:27:54They're superior to our model solution.
00:27:57Riley, you're unbelievable.
00:27:59You've obviously been studying in secret.
00:28:01And surely you understand Leland only showed up because he was eager to help you.
00:28:05Enough.
00:28:06Riley's beyond understanding to seek the sentiments.
00:28:10Spare me the excuses.
00:28:12Just apologize.
00:28:14And Fred, don't forget about honoring your bet.
00:28:18You tricked us, Riley.
00:28:20You let everyone believe you were a cheat just to embarrass us.
00:28:25Riley, forgive me.
00:28:27I'm entirely responsible.
00:28:29Blame me, but please don't hold this against Leland.
00:28:31I'm truly sorry.
00:28:33See what you've done?
00:28:40Who gave you permission to leave?
00:28:41Who the hell are you?
00:28:42What do you think you're doing?
00:28:45It's time to keep your promise, Mr. Dory.
00:28:48Crawl on the ground and apologize to Miss Kirk for everyone to hear.
00:28:51It was just a joke.
00:28:53A joke?
00:28:55Honor your bet, or your family's wealth will banish your tonight.
00:29:01And who exactly are you to threaten my family?
00:29:05The general can arrange your family's ruin by evening.
00:29:10Riley, I'm sorry!
00:29:12Louder.
00:29:13Riley, I'm sorry!
00:29:23I'm sorry!
00:29:23Mr. Morgan, was it you behind all this?
00:29:28I didn't ask for your help, but thanks.
00:29:32You look healthier, but your condition is too serious for any procedures right now.
00:29:37I'm not here for you.
00:29:39I'm meeting Timothy.
00:29:41What a small world.
00:29:44He used to be my mentor.
00:29:46You're the student he expelled.
00:29:48And this project happens to be my investment.
00:29:51Just a heads up, Timothy can't deliver.
00:29:53But feel free to keep wasting your money.
00:29:56Without my research, that project is doomed.
00:29:58This research holds the key to my surgery.
00:30:01My career cannot be compromised by medical limitations.
00:30:04You understand that, Miss Kirk.
00:30:11Are you willing to trust me with your life's most critical research?
00:30:15Do I have any reason not to?
00:30:17There's nothing left for me to fear losing.
00:30:19Why not risk one last gamble?
00:30:24As expected of a high-ranking officer.
00:30:27Please leave a contact, Mr. Morgan.
00:30:29Vita-Link Hospital produced a vial of Nexo-7.
00:30:32I intend to collect it.
00:30:34I've heard troubling reports about them.
00:30:36Could you accompany me?
00:30:38Let's go.
00:30:38I'll join you.
00:30:46Stacy, why aren't you at the lab?
00:30:48Grab the Nexo-7 immediately.
00:30:49We need to get to Vita-Link Hospital now.
00:30:52Dr. Estrada, I wanted to monitor its results.
00:30:55What's the urgency?
00:30:57I saw the photo you sent.
00:30:59It matches the formula perfectly.
00:31:01Stop worrying and get it here.
00:31:03Your entire career hangs on this.
00:31:06It's got you so anxious.
00:31:08Just bring her the Nexo-7.
00:31:11Leland, is the solution truly so valuable?
00:31:14I had no idea.
00:31:16All I have is a questionable, half-finished substance.
00:31:19I can't admit I'm inferior to Riley.
00:31:22What will you and Vivian think of me?
00:31:24Stacy, the compound you showed me looked excellent.
00:31:27The purity level was impressive.
00:31:29It'll be fine.
00:31:30I believe in you.
00:31:38If the treatment fails, I'll blame the patient's condition, not me for me.
00:31:57No, it can't be.
00:31:59What is it, Stacy?
00:32:02It's Riley.
00:32:03She's here.
00:32:04Talking with the hospital directors like she owns the place.
00:32:08Meet Stacy Kirk, my student.
00:32:10She is the mastermind behind this refined Nexo-7 serum.
00:32:13It's perfectly safe for Mr. Morgan.
00:32:15Is that so?
00:32:17I suppose I should see for myself just how flawless it is.
00:32:20Of course, Riley.
00:32:22We're family.
00:32:23Our skills reflect each other.
00:32:25Don't sugarcoat it, Stacy.
00:32:26Everyone knows Riley's been taking credit for your work.
00:32:31Let's see the serum.
00:32:33Bring it out.
00:32:34For the patient's sake, you should administer it without any unnecessary delay.
00:32:38No need.
00:32:40The serum you're holding is a fake.
00:32:43On what basis do you claim it's a forgery?
00:32:46My student did the work.
00:32:48Riley, do you want a repeat of what happened with Nicholas?
00:32:51You poisoned him with your last serum.
00:32:53After what you did to Nicholas, the Kirk family will never take you back.
00:33:02You call yourselves doctors?
00:33:04This violet color is toxic.
00:33:07High purity Nexo-7 is deadly if injected straight into the bloodstream.
00:33:12I've never heard of that.
00:33:13You're just making things up.
00:33:15Stop acting like an expert, Riley.
00:33:16You're lying.
00:33:17Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean the facts change.
00:33:27Marsha, thank goodness you're here.
00:33:29What's the problem?
00:33:30We shouldn't keep Mr. Morgan waiting.
00:33:33There's something wrong with the serum.
00:33:37He's right.
00:33:38It's a counterfeit.
00:33:39It's contaminated.
00:33:41Why are you making up stories?
00:33:42Are you trying to destroy me?
00:33:44Stop stirring up drama.
00:33:46Tampling with this could be fatal.
00:33:47I've never heard of any detoxification step.
00:33:49People who'd understand medicine should stay silent.
00:33:53Marsha is top of her class.
00:33:54Stop humiliating yourself and get out.
00:33:57Do you still trust them to treat you?
00:34:08Evoda, I need your expertise.
00:34:10Yes, Mr. Morgan.
00:34:12What can I do for you?
00:34:13Is high purity Nexo-7 dangerous if used straight from the vial?
00:34:18Absolutely.
00:34:20High purity Nexo-7 is toxic without detoxification.
00:34:23You just had a dose yourself.
00:34:26We had to neutralize it first.
00:34:28Mr. Morgan?
00:34:30What happened?
00:34:31Is everything alright?
00:34:37A genius like you overlooked the detoxification process?
00:34:41I wouldn't trust you with any important guest.
00:34:50Dr. Wilde, are you claiming to know more than your own grandmother?
00:34:55Or maybe Marsha really is that gifted.
00:35:02I was mistaken, Mr. Morgan.
00:35:05The serum is rare.
00:35:07But Felix's case is unrelated.
00:35:11Please, give me another chance.
00:35:14What of the patient, Felix?
00:35:15The military hospital can handle it.
00:35:18It seems the Kirk and Wilde families are experts only in deception.
00:35:22No!
00:35:23We were duped by Stacy!
00:35:25I'll have my grandmother oversee the next batch herself!
00:35:40You fabricated Nexo-7?
00:35:43Do you know what trouble you've caused?
00:35:45Dr. Estrada, I'm sorry.
00:35:48I never meant-
00:35:48Excuses are over.
00:35:50Clear out your things.
00:35:51You're finished in my research group.
00:35:56Some brother you are, Leland.
00:35:59You let your sister offend the Morgans.
00:36:02The Kirk name is finished.
00:36:10Where was your head, Stacy?
00:36:13Faking a serum for the Morgan family?
00:36:16You could ruin us.
00:36:17I only wanted to bring our family honor.
00:36:20To help you.
00:36:21By lying, they would have seen through it in a heartbeat.
00:36:25This is Riley's fault!
00:36:27If she'd kept her mouth shut, no one would have known!
00:36:31Stop making excuses.
00:36:32That serum was Riley's achievement from the start.
00:36:36You just claimed her credit.
00:36:48Is this for me?
00:36:50It is.
00:36:52Every young woman deserves her own birthday celebration.
00:36:56The thing is, today isn't my birthday.
00:37:01Oh?
00:37:03Ever since Stacy came back to the Kirps, my birthday disappeared from the calendar.
00:37:10Every year, Stacy would let me make a wish over her leftover cake.
00:37:14Just think of it as a family joke.
00:37:16I heard the Kirps adopted you.
00:37:17Your biological parents are from the countryside?
00:37:20Fernbridge.
00:37:21A little village.
00:37:22I'll try to find this someday.
00:37:24I'll try to find this someday.
00:37:24What a coincidence.
00:37:25What do you mean?
00:37:36I'll try to find this kid.
00:37:38I'll try to find this.
00:37:43I'll try to find this kid.
00:37:48Oh, I want to find this kid.
00:37:54I'll try to find this during it.
00:37:55I want to find this kid.
00:37:55Kirk, thank you for saving General Morgan.
00:37:57If you ever dine here again, the meal is on us.
00:38:00That's not necessary.
00:38:01Please, take it.
00:38:03I served under him until a grenade tore up my leg.
00:38:06You have to do everything you can for it.
00:38:08This country needs him.
00:38:10I'm based in the military compound.
00:38:12Come by the clinic in the evening if you want to discuss your leg.
00:38:16You're saying there's hope for my leg?
00:38:20I can't make promises without an evaluation.
00:38:22But I'll do all I can.
00:38:24Riley!
00:38:25Hold up!
00:38:26What is your problem?
00:38:28My problem?
00:38:28You've barely left the Kirk family and you're already throwing yourself at some old man for support?
00:38:32My ties with the Kirk family are cut.
00:38:34What I do is none of your concern.
00:38:36The family hasn't made it public.
00:38:37If you embarrass us, don't expect to race for my team again.
00:38:40Yeah, Riley.
00:38:42I apologize to Philip.
00:38:44You still need the Kirk name behind me.
00:38:46One word of regret, I'll let you race.
00:38:57Who said I ever wanted to join your team?
00:39:07Do you really see yourself as my brother?
00:39:11Don't be so ungrateful.
00:39:12Racing with us has always been an honor for you.
00:39:17An honor?
00:39:21Is my name even on the team's official roster?
00:39:25The official position is for Stacy.
00:39:28You being her substitute is the greatest honor I can be bow on you.
00:39:33I race the full course.
00:39:35She claims the trophy and the prize money.
00:39:38What honor have I ever received?
00:39:40That's because Stacy is more dependable than you.
00:39:43Helping her is your responsibility.
00:39:48Riley, don't be so petty.
00:39:50You're family.
00:39:52Stacy, she deserves the recognition.
00:39:55I'm no longer a Kirk.
00:39:59And I won't be racing with you again.
00:40:02If you want trophies, earn them yourselves.
00:40:06You think we need you?
00:40:07I only offered you a place out of a pity.
00:40:11So you wouldn't resort to hanging around rich old men.
00:40:14Are you a gold digger now?
00:40:20You, you dare hit me?
00:40:23Since Stacy is so talented, let her lead your team to victory.
00:40:28Bother me again?
00:40:31And I'll make sure you can't even drive.
00:40:40You've always bullied Stacy.
00:40:42Today, as your brother, I'll teach you a lesson.
00:40:45What's going on here?
00:40:46Luck has changed.
00:40:47How dare you cause trouble for my guest?
00:40:49Get out.
00:40:50The customer is always right.
00:40:52No one can stop me from disciplining my sister.
00:40:55You and your team are permanently banned from the Sabre game.
00:41:00Fuck, sorry!
00:41:01And from every other establishment I own.
00:41:10I heard the commotion.
00:41:12What happened?
00:41:16Nothing much.
00:41:18Just ran into some unpleasant company.
00:41:21Let's go.
00:41:22I'll drive you home.
00:41:36Phillip, let's go.
00:41:37Didn't you say it was Stacy's birthday today?
00:41:41Why isn't there a celebration?
00:41:44Where's Stacy?
00:41:46Don't even mention her.
00:41:49You have no idea what trouble she's caused.
00:41:52And I get lined up either.
00:41:54I could not, Leland.
00:42:01She was just overzealous, Leland.
00:42:03She only wanted the Kirk name to shine.
00:42:04A little scolding is enough.
00:42:06And Riley?
00:42:07Didn't she act for the family's sake, too?
00:42:09The truth is, Nicholas is getting worse.
00:42:11What?
00:42:12What about the Prada doctor you brought in?
00:42:13The new meds?
00:42:14That plan failed.
00:42:15Nicholas is deteriorating faster now.
00:42:18Than when Riley was looking after him.
00:42:20You're saying the expert Stacy found made him worse?
00:42:23After Riley's treatment, he coughed up black blood.
00:42:25But his health didn't decline.
00:42:27Since we switched meds, he's gone downhill fast.
00:42:30You really think Stacy...
00:42:32Miss Kirk, put that knife down!
00:42:36Don't stop me!
00:42:37Everything is my fault!
00:42:41Nicholas got worse.
00:42:43Riley was pushed out.
00:42:44It's better if I just disappear!
00:42:47Stop it!
00:42:48No one is blaming you!
00:42:49You've given everything for us!
00:42:52Leland, she's our real sister.
00:42:54If you can forgive Riley, you can forgive her.
00:42:57It's your birthday, Stacy.
00:42:58Mom and dad are coming home to celebrate.
00:43:00Please don't do this.
00:43:02I'm so sorry.
00:43:03I'll try to make it right.
00:43:05I only made those mistakes because Riley confused me in the lab.
00:43:09But I take all the blame.
00:43:10So it was Riley's scheme all along.
00:43:12She deliberately led you astray.
00:43:15Who hit you, Phillip?
00:43:17That mark on your cheek is fresh.
00:43:19Riley.
00:43:20I offered to partner with her for the racing tournament.
00:43:23Give her prize money to help her poor family.
00:43:25Does it hurt?
00:43:26Let me get you some ointment.
00:43:28I'll race for you, Phillip.
00:43:29If I win, every cent will go to Riley.
00:43:32So her life won't be so miserable.
00:43:34You're the only one who truly cares, Stacy.
00:43:37Speaking of Riley, the Dory family is coming tomorrow.
00:43:41Why do I need to be there?
00:43:43Fred isn't just ending things with Riley.
00:43:45He wants to propose to you.
00:43:47No!
00:43:48I never encouraged him!
00:43:50I'll call him right now and tell him Riley is the one who belongs with him.
00:43:54Don't bother.
00:43:55You are the Kirk family's real daughter.
00:43:59Mom and dad approve of the match.
00:44:01Then I'll do what the family decides.
00:44:03But please, let me talk to Riley myself.
00:44:07I don't want her to think I'm stealing her fiancé.
00:44:21You're the one in possession of Riley's blood sample, aren't you?
00:44:25May I ask who you are?
00:44:27We represent the Owen family.
00:44:29This is our patriarch, Mr. Kendrick Owen.
00:44:32We believe his missing granddaughter may be one of your patients.
00:44:37I can't just hand over a blood sample.
00:44:39You need to give me a reason.
00:44:42We've traced her to this area.
00:44:44We just need to confirm her identity with a DNA test.
00:44:47Yes, Riley's blood is in the hospital bank.
00:44:50Her brothers made her donate for her sister, Stacy, years ago.
00:44:53They took blood from my teenage granddaughter to save someone else?
00:44:58What kind of family does that?
00:45:00Let's get the testing started.
00:45:03If Riley is your missing girl, she finally has a chance at a new life.
00:45:13What is it now?
00:45:14Mom and dad are back.
00:45:16They're asking for you.
00:45:20Riley, this is all my fault.
00:45:23I ruined everything.
00:45:24They're going to announce who I really am.
00:45:26And Fred is going to dump you to propose to me.
00:45:32I swear I never meant for this to happen.
00:45:37What is wrong with you, Riley?
00:45:39Everyone knows you aren't a real Kirk.
00:45:42Stop making Stacy suffer like she's the outsider.
00:45:47What makes you think I'm the one holding on?
00:45:51The broken engagement is a relief.
00:45:55I'll be there.
00:45:57But if you let Fred go, you'll have nothing.
00:46:01Marrying into the Dury family would set you up for life.
00:46:04My gosh!
00:46:05You're marrying Mr. Dory?
00:46:07His family just partnered with the Owens on a massive project.
00:46:11You'll be Crowleen's next top socialite.
00:46:13Please, please, don't make a fuss.
00:46:16I'd rather see Ryla happy.
00:46:21Ryla, our brothers want you to teach me how to be a real pharmacist.
00:46:25Will you mentor me?
00:46:32Sorry, but you don't have the brains for my lessons.
00:46:57Who's there?
00:47:03My sister.
00:47:04Your sister?
00:47:06You must be mistaken.
00:47:08My name is Riley Kirk.
00:47:09Forgive me, Miss Kirk.
00:47:11You resemble her so much.
00:47:14That piece you played, is it your own?
00:47:16No.
00:47:17I found a ruined score and restored it.
00:47:20You restored it yourself?
00:47:21That's incredible.
00:47:23Hardly.
00:47:24Do you really think anyone in music wouldn't recognize you, Mr. Marcus Owen?
00:47:28Riley!
00:47:29Mr. Dory sent this.
00:47:30There's a banquet at your house tomorrow.
00:47:32Attendance is required to settle your engagement.
00:47:35Message received.
00:47:36They expect you to marry while you're still a student?
00:47:39No wedding.
00:47:40Just a cancellation.
00:47:42They're calling it off?
00:47:44Anyone can see you're worth more than that.
00:47:46I'm just the unwanted stand-in.
00:47:48It shouldn't be a shock.
00:47:49I have to go.
00:47:53Hello?
00:47:54Kendrick?
00:47:55Marcus, the search is over!
00:47:57We've located your sister!
00:47:58Head straight to Krolek!
00:47:59Is her name Riley Kirk?
00:48:01At the medical university?
00:48:03Wait.
00:48:04You already found her?
00:48:05I didn't tell her anything.
00:48:08But I learned she's engaged to someone from the Dory family.
00:48:10She is engaged to that fool from the Dory family?
00:48:13I gave the Durys hundreds of millions as a wedding gift for my sister.
00:48:17The gesture was wasted.
00:48:19They're calling it off, claiming she's not good enough for them.
00:48:22How dare they!
00:48:23Who are they to look down on my granddaughter?
00:48:26No one tramples on the Owen family.
00:48:29If the Durys can't see her value,
00:48:32we will end our partnership with them.
00:48:46Look at her outfit.
00:48:47She can't even pretend to have dignity.
00:48:49You can take a child out of poverty,
00:48:51but you can't take the poverty out of the child.
00:48:54I'll only be a couple of minutes.
00:48:55I need to grab something from upstairs.
00:49:00The nerve!
00:49:02Forget her clothes.
00:49:04Where did she get the money for a bike like that?
00:49:07Enough, Philip.
00:49:08You don't get it!
00:49:09That bike is a rare model.
00:49:11It costs at least two million.
00:49:14I want to know what trick she pulled to afford it.
00:49:20Philip, stop.
00:49:21Riley would never sell herself.
00:49:23She must have made money through rightful ways.
00:49:26If she keeps carrying the Kirk name, she'll ruin our standing.
00:49:30She cannot stay here.
00:49:32Riley, look at the trouble you've brought us.
00:49:35Admit what you did and apologize.
00:49:38You requested my visit.
00:49:41I didn't come here to put on a show of regret.
00:49:44No hope for you!
00:49:45Your brothers were right to drive you out!
00:49:48I'm here to make one thing clear.
00:49:51Stacy is our daughter now.
00:49:54Nothing you do can change that.
00:50:00Then take this.
00:50:02The emerald necklace your mother gave me.
00:50:06It's yours now, Stacy.
00:50:08And the brunge from Nicholas.
00:50:10The diamond ring from Leland.
00:50:13And the trophy Philip gave me after his first win.
00:50:17My first win on the track.
00:50:18And you hand it over without a second thought?
00:50:20Wait, Riley.
00:50:22These are yours.
00:50:23I can't accept them.
00:50:26Let everyone here be my witness.
00:50:28I was never part of the Kirk family.
00:50:31Nor will I ever be.
00:50:32And one more thing.
00:50:34I want nothing to do with a fool.
00:50:36Fred, you and Stacy make a lovely pair.
00:50:39I'm breaking off our engagement.
00:50:40You dare call me a fool?
00:50:42I've always preferred Stacy.
00:50:44If anyone is ending this, it's my decision, not yours.
00:50:48The engagement was always for the Kirk family's rightful daughter.
00:50:52Ryler's connection to us ends here.
00:50:55Riley, if you could just change your attitude towards mom, you can come back.
00:51:00Stop fighting us, Riley.
00:51:02If you want Fred, he's yours.
00:51:06Don't bother.
00:51:08You and that fool are a perfect match.
00:51:10Riley!
00:51:11Walk out that door and you're out for good.
00:51:15Oh, my legs.
00:51:16Bring me my medicine at once.
00:51:18Madam, you finished the last dose.
00:51:20Miss Riley was always the one who handled your medicine.
00:51:22No one here knows the recipe.
00:51:43You must be Riley Kirk.
00:51:49My sweet granddaughter.
00:51:51You're finally here.
00:51:57Come.
00:51:59Let me really see you.
00:52:04Oh, my dear girl.
00:52:07If I hadn't found you,
00:52:11I wouldn't know what to say to your parents.
00:52:16I'm Felix, your oldest brother.
00:52:19I can't believe my own sister saved my life.
00:52:23It must be fate.
00:52:25You should be in the hospital for your surgery.
00:52:28Why did you come back?
00:52:29I've waited years for this moment.
00:52:31A surgery can wait.
00:52:34Your health matters more.
00:52:38And I'm Marcus.
00:52:40I knew it was you when I saw you at school.
00:52:42You're really my sister.
00:52:43All my grandchildren.
00:52:45Finally together.
00:52:47What a blessing.
00:52:49Now that Rylan's back,
00:52:51will she be staying here in Krolin
00:52:53or returning to Kohan?
00:52:55Paola Percy.
00:52:59I'll stay in Krolin for now.
00:53:02I haven't finished my studies.
00:53:04Then I'll stay here, too.
00:53:06Laurel, have the rooms been arranged?
00:53:08Of course, Uncle Kendrick.
00:53:10Mom's already planning to convert
00:53:12my piano room into Ryler's bedroom.
00:53:15Your piano room?
00:53:16Why not just use the guest room?
00:53:18You're working on a film score
00:53:19for director Spencer Augular!
00:53:23Is that right?
00:53:26No wonder you've been locking yourself
00:53:28in that room.
00:53:30Marcus inspired me.
00:53:32It's the only reason I got the opportunity.
00:53:35Well, since Paola needs the piano room,
00:53:38how about the guest room for now, Riley?
00:53:41We can find another if you don't like it.
00:53:44Mom, I really don't mind.
00:53:45My work is a small matter.
00:53:48Let Riley take the piano room.
00:53:50She's been away for years.
00:53:52I'm sure she haven't had a proper rest.
00:53:56The guest room is all ready for you, Riley.
00:53:59That won't be necessary.
00:54:05I'm going home after dinner.
00:54:09Guest room?
00:54:10Are you telling me my granddaughter
00:54:11is a guest in her own house?
00:54:14Have you forgotten whose name is on this deed?
00:54:19My sister comes home,
00:54:21and you think her room is up for debate?
00:54:26It seems running this estate
00:54:27has gone to your head,
00:54:29suggesting my sister take the piano room
00:54:31like she needs a handout from Paola.
00:54:33No, I swear.
00:54:35That wasn't my intention.
00:54:37If that's so,
00:54:38then why not pack your things
00:54:40and clear out of her room yourself?
00:54:42The master suite you've been using
00:54:44always belonged to my sister.
00:54:46Giving it back
00:54:47is just putting things right.
00:54:49Why are you picking on her?
00:54:50She's a real musician,
00:54:52more impressive than someone
00:54:53who grew up in the sticks.
00:54:55That's enough out of you.
00:54:56Why?
00:54:57I'm just telling it straight.
00:54:59Why kick Paola out
00:55:01the minute Raya walks in?
00:55:06By blood,
00:55:07she is my granddaughter.
00:55:09Not worthy of being your cousin,
00:55:12you'd do well to remember
00:55:13where you come from.
00:55:15Grandfather,
00:55:16I am sorry.
00:55:17I made a mistake.
00:55:19This manor was purchased for Ryla.
00:55:22Paola,
00:55:23you've had the run of this place
00:55:24for ten years.
00:55:25Have I ever treated you unfairly?
00:55:28Never, I swear.
00:55:29You and my cousins
00:55:30must have misunderstood me.
00:55:33Let's check out the vineyard.
00:55:41I'll let you pick the best grapes.
00:55:53DeAndre,
00:55:54where did you get that scar?
00:55:56Oh, that?
00:55:57Got into a scuffle
00:55:58at a casino
00:55:59in Aklaugau.
00:56:01A machete
00:56:02caught me
00:56:02when a fight broke out.
00:56:18Hey, Riley,
00:56:19what's on your mind?
00:56:20You seem a little lost.
00:56:21It's nothing.
00:56:22I just worry about your safety.
00:56:24You need more protection.
00:56:26You don't have to stress about me.
00:56:27I'm tougher than I look.
00:56:28Even Brad can't outmatch me.
00:56:35Percy,
00:56:36stop making noise
00:56:37when you eat.
00:56:38Look at Paola.
00:56:39Learn some manners.
00:56:40All right,
00:56:41I get it.
00:56:42I'll be civilized.
00:56:45We're family.
00:56:46It's just dinner.
00:56:48Let's keep it real,
00:56:48yeah?
00:56:50You're right,
00:56:51DeAndre.
00:56:51I've just always been strict
00:56:53with my own children.
00:56:54So now I'm uncultured
00:56:55because my bowl made a sound?
00:56:56All these fake manners
00:56:58make me itch.
00:56:59Let my sister eat
00:57:00however she wants.
00:57:03Back when I was young,
00:57:04I never cared how I ate.
00:57:07Grandpa,
00:57:08just eat how you like.
00:57:10Being comfortable
00:57:10is what's important.
00:57:12Paola,
00:57:13don't get too hung up
00:57:14on manners.
00:57:14There's nothing wrong
00:57:15with a healthy appetite,
00:57:17just like Ryler.
00:57:22The Morgan family
00:57:23has sent a gift.
00:57:26Is it from Brad?
00:57:27I bet it is.
00:57:28He probably wanted
00:57:29to send something special
00:57:30for your work
00:57:30on the film score.
00:57:31Your father mentioned
00:57:32you to Brad
00:57:33just the other day.
00:57:34This is his way
00:57:35of saying congratulations.
00:57:36What did he send?
00:57:41Why would Brad
00:57:42send a massive cake
00:57:43just for Paola?
00:57:44He's always away.
00:57:45He probably figured
00:57:46a fancy cake
00:57:47was a safe bet
00:57:48for a girl.
00:57:49It's a lovely gesture.
00:57:50A cake this size
00:57:52can't have been cheap.
00:57:53Forgive me,
00:57:54I nearly forgot.
00:57:57Mr. Morgan
00:57:58wrote two personal letters.
00:58:00One for Mr. Kendrick Owen
00:58:01and...
00:58:04The other envelope
00:58:05is for Miss Kirk.
00:58:09Who did you say
00:58:10it's for?
00:58:14For Riley?
00:58:15That's impossible.
00:58:21She just arrived today.
00:58:22She can't possibly
00:58:23know Brad.
00:58:27I've read the note.
00:58:30Brad sent this
00:58:31to congratulate me
00:58:32for finding my granddaughter.
00:58:34He says
00:58:35the cake is for her.
00:58:40But today
00:58:41isn't her real birthday.
00:58:42Her actual birthday
00:58:44is on Christmas.
00:58:44I've known Brad
00:58:45a long time.
00:58:46He has never sent
00:58:47a birthday present
00:58:48to any girl.
00:58:49Why is Riley
00:58:50suddenly special?
00:58:51Don't worry so much.
00:58:52Maybe he just
00:58:53wanted to be thoughtful.
00:58:54He's never gone out
00:58:54of his way
00:58:55for anyone else.
00:58:56Not once.
00:59:02The Kirk's chose
00:59:04the day they adopted
00:59:05me to be my birthday.
00:59:07For years
00:59:08I celebrated it.
00:59:10Not realizing
00:59:11it wasn't the real one.
00:59:13From now on
00:59:13we'll celebrate
00:59:14every single one
00:59:15of your real birthdays
00:59:16in style.
00:59:17Count on it.
00:59:18I'm stuck.
00:59:19I'll be in the piano room
00:59:20working on my music.
00:59:31Why are you
00:59:32heading out so late?
00:59:34Are you not happy
00:59:35here with us?
00:59:39Of course I am, Grandpa.
00:59:41But I have a race tonight.
00:59:43If I don't go now
00:59:44I'll miss the start.
00:59:45A race?
00:59:47You're a racer, Riley?
00:59:48I am
00:59:49and I'm pretty good at it.
01:00:03You want to assist
01:00:05in my surgery?
01:00:07Aren't you still
01:00:08a student?
01:00:11I'll be observing
01:00:12while another doctor
01:00:13handles it.
01:00:14I just want to be there.
01:00:19Oh, come on.
01:00:35Out this late
01:00:36where are you off to?
01:00:39Brad,
01:00:39there's a race
01:00:40at the mountain circuit.
01:00:41I have to be there by 8.
01:00:42Can you help?
01:00:43I'll knock some off
01:00:44your next treatment bill.
01:00:46I really need this, Brad.
01:00:47Please.
01:00:48Hop in.
01:00:51I'll have a helicopter
01:00:52ready for you.
01:01:00This track hasn't been
01:01:01raced in five years.
01:01:02The fatality rate
01:01:03is no joke.
01:01:03I'm impressed
01:01:04you know its reputation.
01:01:06Are you prepared?
01:01:07I haven't seen your name
01:01:08in any major races.
01:01:10Is this your debut?
01:01:11Officially,
01:01:12yes.
01:01:14But when it comes
01:01:15to experience,
01:01:16there isn't a soul here
01:01:18who can outdrive me.
01:01:27Come here.
01:01:29Bend down.
01:01:32What is it?
01:01:34Sir,
01:01:34you really shouldn't
01:01:35accept food from anyone.
01:01:40I made it myself.
01:01:42The medicine's
01:01:43after effects
01:01:43might linger
01:01:44with the altitude change.
01:01:45This will help.
01:01:47It does help.
01:01:50Time for me to go.
01:01:55Fascinating woman.
01:01:57General,
01:01:58the meeting
01:01:58is about to begin.
01:01:59The colonel
01:02:00is waiting for your verdict
01:02:01on the Emerald Sea oil field.
01:02:03Push it to midnight.
01:02:06Book a VIP suite
01:02:07overlooking the track.
01:02:08I'll watch the race
01:02:09from there.
01:02:11You're staying
01:02:11for Miss Kirk?
01:02:13To take her home?
01:02:15Is there a rule
01:02:15against it?
01:02:19They can handle decisions
01:02:20on their own sometimes.
01:02:24She's here.
01:02:25Our last team member
01:02:27has arrived.
01:02:28Look!
01:02:29Riley actually made it.
01:02:31We thought she'd bail.
01:02:32Of course she came.
01:02:34She wouldn't miss this.
01:02:36Stacy,
01:02:37listen.
01:02:38Since she's here,
01:02:40we stick to the plan.
01:02:42We'll run the anchor leg.
01:02:43Riley can handle
01:02:44the other sections.
01:02:45Phillip,
01:02:45I've trained so long
01:02:46for this.
01:02:47Why can't I be
01:02:47the one to compete?
01:02:48Let Riley handle it.
01:02:49The mountain course
01:02:50tonight is brutal.
01:02:51We're just looking
01:02:51out for your safety.
01:02:52They're right.
01:02:52It's too risky.
01:02:53Let Riley do it.
01:02:55If that's what
01:02:56you think is best.
01:02:57Okay.
01:02:59I'll go sign Riley up.
01:03:00Don't start talking
01:03:01like a winner
01:03:02just yet, Phillip.
01:03:03Facing someone
01:03:04who always loses?
01:03:05I think I've earned it.
01:03:07Riley,
01:03:08didn't you say
01:03:08you weren't coming?
01:03:09What are you doing here?
01:03:10Why do you care?
01:03:11If you insist on
01:03:12racing for my team,
01:03:13fine.
01:03:13I'll allow it.
01:03:14Go sign in.
01:03:15You'll be the backup.
01:03:17Backup?
01:03:18Phillip,
01:03:18are you serious?
01:03:19Did I ever agree
01:03:20to race for you?
01:03:21Boss?
01:03:22You promised you'd race
01:03:23for us.
01:03:25Riley,
01:03:26you're joining
01:03:26Britain's team?
01:03:27Our biggest rival?
01:03:29Why are you upset?
01:03:30Didn't you brag
01:03:31that your team
01:03:31could win without me?
01:03:32That doesn't mean
01:03:33you can join them.
01:03:34That's betrayal.
01:03:36Betrayal?
01:03:37You all kicked me out.
01:03:39Your family disowned me.
01:03:42I was never part of you
01:03:43to begin with.
01:03:45Fine.
01:03:46One last offer.
01:03:48Join my team
01:03:48and I'll split
01:03:49the prize money with you.
01:03:50I'll even let you
01:03:51stand on the podium.
01:03:52No thanks.
01:03:53I'm going to win this race.
01:03:55That trophy,
01:03:56it's mine.
01:03:57Not yours.
01:03:59Unbelievable.
01:04:00You're going to lose, Riley.
01:04:01And badly.
01:04:03It's probably because I joined.
01:04:05Maybe I should drop out
01:04:06and ask her to come back?
01:04:07Absolutely not.
01:04:08We'll win with or without her.
01:04:09Boss,
01:04:10the mountain road's rough.
01:04:10If the weather is getting worse,
01:04:11which lap do you want?
01:04:12Phillip probably kept Stacy
01:04:14for the final lap.
01:04:15The roads are slip
01:04:16and freezing at the top.
01:04:17So,
01:04:18you're taking the last lap?
01:04:19I am.
01:04:20I'll show Phillip
01:04:21what happens
01:04:22when he puts the wrong person
01:04:23at the finish line.
01:04:26We always saw you as family.
01:04:28What you did tonight
01:04:29really stung.
01:04:29You say I was family,
01:04:31but I've never been allowed
01:04:32on the podium.
01:04:32Not once.
01:04:33I thought you weren't the type
01:04:35to care about that kind
01:04:35of recognition.
01:04:38Recognition?
01:04:39Then why are you even racing
01:04:40for first place?
01:04:41And if you're so above it,
01:04:43why didn't any of you
01:04:44ever give me your spot?
01:04:46Riley,
01:04:47you're acting
01:04:47completely reckless.
01:04:49Don't come begging for mercy
01:04:51when this falls apart.
01:04:52Team,
01:04:54I'm shifting our tactics
01:04:55for this race.
01:04:56Let's pull together
01:04:57and give it our all.
01:04:59The race began
01:05:00in a downpour.
01:05:00Jake immediately lunged
01:05:01for the lead,
01:05:02but I knew his aggression
01:05:03was a liability.
01:05:03Turn three's a trap.
01:05:04There's deep water ahead.
01:05:06Keep it steady.
01:05:07Roger that.
01:05:07My warning came
01:05:09just in time.
01:05:10Seconds later,
01:05:11Jake's car lost its grip,
01:05:13spinning helplessly
01:05:14and smashing
01:05:15into the guardrail.
01:05:17A shocking turn of events.
01:05:20Phillip's top driver
01:05:21has crashed
01:05:23in the opening lap.
01:05:25How could this happen?
01:05:28Jake,
01:05:29do not let Britain's team
01:05:31claim the advantage.
01:05:32Hold them off.
01:05:34Heads up.
01:05:34Jake's coming up behind you.
01:05:36He'll try something risky.
01:05:37Make room.
01:05:38But if I let him through,
01:05:39I'll forfeit our lead.
01:05:41Trust the plan.
01:05:44Keeping everyone safe
01:05:45is the priority.
01:05:50You heard her.
01:05:51Follow the boss.
01:05:53While they battled,
01:05:53my other driver
01:05:54surged to second place.
01:05:56The weather feed
01:05:57said the storm was clearing,
01:05:58but I knew better.
01:05:59When I flew in,
01:05:59I saw a thick cloud mass
01:06:00over the summit.
01:06:01I'd bet hail is on the way.
01:06:02Their rookie driver,
01:06:03Stacy,
01:06:03has never raced
01:06:04in weather this brutal.
01:06:05They're in real trouble.
01:06:06By the fifth lap,
01:06:07the rain turned
01:06:07to marble-sized hail,
01:06:09just as I predicted.
01:06:10Boss,
01:06:11I can barely see
01:06:12ten yards in front of me.
01:06:13Breaking distance
01:06:14has crippled.
01:06:15Smooth on the throttle.
01:06:16Let your instincts guide you.
01:06:18Start slowing
01:06:18200 yards
01:06:19before turn seven.
01:06:21Stacy,
01:06:21the weather's gone wild.
01:06:23We're trailing
01:06:23by 0.8 seconds.
01:06:25You have to make it
01:06:26up on this lap.
01:06:27It's all in your hands.
01:06:29Whether we clinch
01:06:30the win or not,
01:06:31it's on you, Stacy.
01:06:33Is the weather
01:06:34still rough
01:06:35on the summit?
01:06:35It's worse.
01:06:36Hail is coming down hard.
01:06:38You cannot,
01:06:39Ryna,
01:06:39get past you.
01:06:40She's the only one
01:06:42standing in our way.
01:06:46Why did it have to be
01:06:47me against Riley?
01:06:49If I fail,
01:06:53how will Philip
01:06:54ever look me again?
01:06:59I haven't touched
01:07:00the engine.
01:07:01It's still running
01:07:02exactly how you tuned it.
01:07:03Only thing I changed
01:07:04was the color.
01:07:05Looks sharp,
01:07:06doesn't it?
01:07:07All right.
01:07:07Let's go.
01:07:14That design,
01:07:15a revline build,
01:07:17how is this possible?
01:07:18And they're off!
01:07:19Three,
01:07:20two,
01:07:21one,
01:07:21go!
01:07:26No turbo lag?
01:07:28Are you kidding me?
01:07:29Stacy,
01:07:30what are you waiting for?
01:07:31Step on it!
01:07:33She's too fast.
01:07:34Disable the limiter.
01:07:38Riley's the only one
01:07:40in your way.
01:07:41Overtake her now!
01:07:42No!
01:07:43No!
01:07:58Is she insane?
01:07:59That corner took out
01:08:00three racers last year.
01:08:02She's actually going for it.
01:08:04Your tires are worn.
01:08:06Don't go too fast.
01:08:07I can't.
01:08:08She's going wide
01:08:09on the turn.
01:08:10I have to stay
01:08:11at this speed.
01:08:16There are no barriers here.
01:08:18One little nudge
01:08:20and all my problems disappear.
01:08:24Boss!
01:08:25Look out!
01:08:25She's hitting the brakes!
01:08:29Die, Riley.
01:08:38Ice spikes!
01:08:39Car number six
01:08:40just shot out ice spike!
01:08:42No!
01:08:43No!
01:08:44The brakes are making it worse!
01:08:45She's clinging to the turn!
01:08:47Stacy is spinning out!
01:08:49A rescue hook just saved her!
01:08:51Unbelievable!
01:08:56Boss!
01:08:57The wind speed
01:08:58has passed
01:08:58the safety threshold.
01:09:00You need to ease off.
01:09:01Shut it.
01:09:05The road!
01:09:06The road is breaking apart!
01:09:08Officials just issued
01:09:09a red flag warning.
01:09:13She jumped!
01:09:14She jumped the car
01:09:16right over the crack.
01:09:17She cleared 200 yards.
01:09:20She's tearing down the track
01:09:21like a rocket!
01:09:30Let's go meet her.
01:09:31I told you to ease off.
01:09:33Are you brainless?
01:09:34You're the reason we lost.
01:09:35I didn't want Riley to pass me.
01:09:37It's your fault
01:09:37you didn't check the tires.
01:09:38You're blaming me?
01:09:39You still drive like an amateur.
01:09:41This whole race was a setup.
01:09:42Someone gave them our strategies.
01:09:43A setup.
01:09:45That's it.
01:09:47I'm reporting this.
01:09:49This isn't fair.
01:09:51I'll get her results
01:09:52thrown out by the committee.
01:09:54They want to investigate me?
01:09:56I haven't even started
01:09:57dealing with them yet.
01:09:59She was our racer
01:10:00for years.
01:10:02She knows our entire system.
01:10:04Then why isn't my name
01:10:06listed on any of your
01:10:07championship trophies?
01:10:09The records show
01:10:10Stacey Kirk
01:10:11as the official racer.
01:10:14Ryla was only ever
01:10:15a substitute.
01:10:16Yes.
01:10:17I raced with them.
01:10:19I was there
01:10:20for every single win.
01:10:21But I was never allowed
01:10:23to finish an official race.
01:10:25I was just a pawn
01:10:27to stall for Stacey
01:10:28so she could cross the line
01:10:30and take the win.
01:10:32They got the titles.
01:10:34They stood on the podium.
01:10:36I wasn't even allowed
01:10:37in the photo.
01:10:39He gave me a real spot
01:10:40on his team.
01:10:41I won a race
01:10:42that actually counted.
01:10:44So tell me
01:10:45why should I stay loyal
01:10:46to people who used me?
01:10:49Yes.
01:10:53Riley, stop it!
01:10:55We've already lost everything.
01:10:57Isn't that enough for you?
01:10:59What do I want?
01:11:00She tried to kill me
01:11:02on that turn
01:11:02and now I can't even
01:11:04land a punch.
01:11:05I didn't mean to!
01:11:06I swear it wasn't on purpose!
01:11:10That's enough, Riley!
01:11:12It was a mistake!
01:11:13She just wanted to win!
01:11:14A mistake.
01:11:17She waited until Riley
01:11:18was beside her
01:11:19then tapped the brakes
01:11:20on the outer lane.
01:11:23Anyone with a brain
01:11:24knows what that means.
01:11:28We have a report.
01:11:30Driver 6 from
01:11:31Phillip's team
01:11:32Stacey Kirk
01:11:33is in violation
01:11:34of the rules.
01:11:35We are reviewing
01:11:36the footage.
01:11:38What?
01:11:39A report?
01:11:39Who did that?
01:11:40After a full review
01:11:42the panel has reached
01:11:43a unanimous ruling.
01:11:45Phillip Kirk's team
01:11:47is disqualified.
01:11:49What are you talking about?
01:11:51How can you say
01:11:51we broke the rules?
01:11:52This ruling is final.
01:11:54If you want to contest it
01:11:54you may submit
01:11:55an appeal later.
01:11:57Riley,
01:11:57you've got to speak up.
01:11:58Tell them Stacey
01:11:59didn't break any rules.
01:12:00That's not my decision.
01:12:02You all said
01:12:03she trained so hard
01:12:04for the team.
01:12:05She meant well, right?
01:12:06You've done Stacey.
01:12:07You've dragged us
01:12:09all into this mess.
01:12:11This is all on me.
01:12:13My teammates
01:12:14weren't involved.
01:12:17Please
01:12:18just ban me
01:12:19not Phillip's team.
01:12:21Racing is a team effort.
01:12:22You win together
01:12:23or you lose together.
01:12:25Besides,
01:12:25the evidence shows
01:12:26your actions
01:12:26weren't an accident.
01:12:27I didn't mean to.
01:12:28I swear it wasn't on purpose.
01:12:30The car's telemetry data
01:12:30shows you hit
01:12:31full brake force at once.
01:12:33No correction.
01:12:33No hesitation.
01:12:34Do I need to
01:12:35explain what that means?
01:12:36You could face
01:12:36criminal charges.
01:12:38Enough, Stacey.
01:12:39Just stop
01:12:39embarrassing yourself.
01:12:42As Phillip
01:12:43watched me on the podium,
01:12:44his phone
01:12:45wouldn't stop buzzing.
01:12:46The sponsors
01:12:47didn't just walk away.
01:12:48They're asking
01:12:49for their money back.
01:12:50You forced Riley
01:12:51out for Stacey?
01:12:54We might lose
01:12:55the club over this.
01:12:58I chose wrong.
01:12:59In all those victories,
01:13:01they were because of her.
01:13:02I stood tall
01:13:04at the center,
01:13:05holding the championship
01:13:06trophy as confetti
01:13:07rained down.
01:13:07Then my eyes
01:13:09landed on a face
01:13:09in the crowd
01:13:10I hadn't expected to see.
01:13:16I handed the trophy
01:13:18to my teammate
01:13:18and slipped through
01:13:19the crowd toward him.
01:13:25So you didn't leave?
01:13:26I was like, oh my God.
01:13:26I was like, oh my God.
01:13:26I was like, oh my God.
01:13:26I was like, oh my God.
01:13:27I was like, oh my God.
