Short filmTranscript
00:00The locker room was thick with champagne and sweat, and the chairs were loud enough to blow the roof off.
00:05I stayed back in the shadows, watching his teammates toss Luca into the air.
00:09This was his night. Then my phone started buzzing non-stop, the ringtone slicing through the illusion.
00:29The comments were absolutely blowing up. Hockey Prince exposed. His wife manager got played.
00:39Ali, don't overthink it. It's just a bad angle.
00:43A bad angle?
00:46The press is already outside. Go handle them. I'll tell PR to draft a statement.
00:52Alone in a bathroom stall, I dug through his bag for a friendly reporter's business card.
00:57Instead, my fingers brushed against a hard plastic card.
01:00Hilton Hotel. Registered guest, Luca Stone. Suddenly, his phone lit up.
01:05What plan? Frantic knocking rattled the door.
01:09Tom, the club finance manager, sweating bullets. He held a stack of papers.
01:13Ali, the press is swarming out there. Honda and Body Arm Ret reps just showed up too.
01:18They're threatening to pull their sponsorships.
01:21Tell them I'll be right out.
01:29Hi everyone. I'm Ali, Luca's manager and his wife.
01:32I'm here on behalf of the club to clear the air about the footage that surfaced last night.
01:38Anyone who knows Luca knows he lives and breathes hockey.
01:42A momentary lapse in judgment after a massive win doesn't erase his character.
01:47We've already talked it out and this won't affect...
01:50Save it, Ali. The manipulation stops today.
01:53I officially filed for divorce a month ago.
01:56This marriage has been dead for a long time.
01:58I'm done being a puppet for my super agent.
02:07Mr. Stone is simply seeking a fair resolution.
02:09Due to improper financial control, we are requesting a full club audit.
02:17Do you use your power to control players' personal lives?
02:20Any response to Luca calling you a manipulator?
02:22I turned and glared at him, but he looked at me with a sneer.
02:26After the press conference, I stumbled back to the locker room.
02:29The furious sponsors had already stormed out.
02:32I collapsed into a chair, opening my company email with shaking fingers.
02:36An anonymous message was sitting at the very top of my inbox.
02:39I clicked the attached video, my hands shaking, in the clip.
02:45It's me who made you who you are!
02:47I spent years cleaning up your filthy messes, and you dare stand up there and play the fucking victim?!
02:53Enough.
02:57Are you out of your mind?
02:59Luca is the franchise. Without him, you're a nobody. You wouldn't have a dime!
03:03Don't even waste your breath on her, Mom.
03:14Know your place, Allie.
03:16You drove him into Chloe's bed.
03:18You've got nobody to blame but yourself.
03:21I looked at the three of them and laughed.
03:23For five years, I bought their mansions and paid their bills.
03:27They were perfectly happy to bleed me dry.
03:30Trapped in that living room, bleeding and alone,
03:34I gritted my teeth and signed the papers.
03:36Luca eagerly snatched them out of my hands and disappeared into the bedroom.
03:40A minute later, he came back and dumped a pile of my clothes right on top of me.
03:44Take your shit and get out!
03:46I dragged my suitcase out to the car.
03:48I opened my backup email account.
03:50A second anonymous message was waiting.
03:52It was a shocking screenshot of a wire transfer.
03:54Five million dollars.
03:56Drain straight from the club's youth training fund into a private offshore account named LC.
03:59I stared at that letter C, my blood running ice cold.
04:03L was Luca.
04:04Was C, Chloe?
04:07The next morning, running on fumes, I went back to the club to pack up my office.
04:12I pushed the door open.
04:14Heavy metal blasted so loud it shook the walls.
04:16Right in the middle of the trashed room, Chloe was straddling Luca,
04:20making out with him while his teammates hollered and cheered.
04:23Yo, Luca!
04:24Your superstar agent wife is here!
04:26Wanna invite her to the party?
04:35Right here in the office?
04:37Are you out of your damn mind?
04:38Ally, perfect timing!
04:39Heard you got a cute little red butterfly stamped right on your inner thigh.
04:43Luca's been bragging it's his favorite bullzot for target practice.
04:46Care to show us if it's true?
04:53You piece of shit, Luca!
04:57Are you crazy?
05:00Are you done?
05:02He yanked my arm and violently shoved me out the door like a bag of trash.
05:06I stumbled, crashing hard against the hallway wall.
05:09Before I could even catch my balance.
05:12This isn't your club anymore, Ally.
05:14And I'm not the broke kid you used to control.
05:17Get the hell out.
05:18Slam!
05:19The heavy doors shut right in my face.
05:20A second later, I heard Chloe's smud giggles and the clinking of glasses through the wood.
05:25Ignore her, baby!
05:26Let's get back to the party!
05:28I slid down the wall until I hit the cold floor.
05:30I buried my face in my hands and finally fell apart.
05:36If you wanna cry, go the hell home and cry.
05:40The Stone family is officially pressing charges, Ally.
05:45Embezzling club funds.
05:47Embezzlement?
05:48You're really pinning your own mess on me?
05:51He didn't even blink, just stepped past me to join their victory party inside.
05:55I scrambled up and sprinted to my car, dialing Tom, the club's finance manager.
06:00I had to reach him before they did.
06:02Ally, let it go.
06:03They trashed my house.
06:04I can't testify about those wire transfers.
06:06I can't risk my family.
06:08Listen, Tom.
06:09If that $5 million leak isn't exposed, you go down as their accomplice.
06:16I floored it toward his house.
06:17On the way, I worked the phones.
06:20I had the veterans secure the locker room while I backed up the club ledgers to the cloud.
06:24Just as I caught my breath, the car screen lights up.
06:272 AM.
06:28A voice note from Tom.
06:29I hit play.
06:33Flash drive, old stadium, locker 28.
06:36Ally, run.
06:37I jammed the car into gear and tore through the pitch black rainstorm, speeding straight
06:41for the abandoned stadium.
06:44I tore through the old stadium, my hands shaking as I yanked open locker 28.
06:49Empty.
06:50No flash drive.
06:51As I spun around, a dark figure darted around the corner of the hallway.
06:55Stop!
06:55My frantic footsteps echoed through the hollow arena.
06:58The figure lingered in the shadows.
07:00Playing, the heavy iron door slammed shut behind me.
07:04You just couldn't leave well enough alone, Ally.
07:08A deep voice echoed from the control booth above.
07:11Instantly, the thick, choking stench of gasoline filled the air.
07:15Tom's voice note.
07:17It was a deep fake, wasn't it?
07:19Smart, but too late.
07:21Luca just wanted you to walk away with nothing, but you had to go digging into the books.
07:26Now, you get to burn with this place.
07:28He kicked a jerry pin over the edge, raining gasoline down on me.
07:31I dove out of the way, coughing as the toxic fumes burned my lungs.
07:35A second before the lighter dropped, I threw my entire body at the rusted ventilation grate.
07:39A hidden exit I'd designed myself when I first built this club.
07:42A massive fireball erupted behind me.
07:45The shockwave blew me straight out of the shaft, slamming me hard into the wet grass outside.
07:49I forced myself up, clutching the recording pen tightly in my hand.
07:53I stumbled into my car.
07:54You want a war, Luca?
07:56You've got one.
07:59Three days later.
08:00The CPM Annual Gala.
08:02Luca, wearing a custom jersey, walked onto the stage with a blushing chloe on his arm.
08:07He waved to the cameras, flashing his polished smile.
08:10Thank you all for your support.
08:12Stone Club is about to welcome its true leading lady.
08:15And we will continue to fund every kid out there who loves hockey.
08:25Tom, you better play ball since Allie won't take the frall.
08:29Make sure she burns with that old stadium.
08:36Looking for this, Luca?
08:41Allie!
08:42You crazy bitch!
08:43It's a deepfake!
08:46Looking for this, Luca?
08:51Allie!
08:52You crazy bitch!
08:54It's a deepfake!
09:02I'm pulling all your endorsements.
09:05CMC, Honda, Nike.
09:07Gone.
09:08You just triggered the morals clause in every single contract.
09:12Good luck with those penalty fees.
09:21That all you've got?
09:22I'm just getting started.
09:27Cancelled!
09:28What the hell do you tell the sponsors, Allie?
09:32Nothing much.
09:34Just doing my job.
09:35I forwarded the audio of your murder plant to their risk management.
09:39Nobody wants a potential murderer as their brand ambitasser.
09:42Funny how fast they drop a liability, isn't it?
09:48You bitch!
09:53List the Beverly Hills house!
09:55Dump the cars!
09:56All of them!
09:57Just get me the cash to make this go away!
09:59Sell the mansion?
10:00You can't sell what isn't yours, Luca.
10:03Did you forget?
10:04You signed over the equity to cover your dad's gambling debts.
10:07The company holding the mortgage is mine.
10:12Bullshit!
10:13I never signed this!
10:15He did.
10:17Two months ago.
10:18He was too busy partying on a yacht with Chloe to read what his assistant handed him.
10:23Luca!
10:26Are you broke?
10:28I picked up my bag and left.
10:32The heavy doors swung shut behind me, cutting off the shattered glass and Luca's screens.
10:43Let's hear it for our GM, Allie!
10:56Shut it down!
10:57What the hell are you doing, Allie?
10:59This is still my place!
11:01Your place?
11:02Sorry, sir.
11:03Board's orders.
11:04Your access has been permanently revoked.
11:07You're stopping me?
11:08I'm the franchise player of the North Stars!
11:11Cap!
11:12Jimmy!
11:12Where the hell are you?
11:13Get out here and toss this crazy bitch!
11:19Tell her, boys.
11:20There is no championship without your star center.
11:23Save it, Luca.
11:24Allie showed us the books.
11:25Three years.
11:26Your dad cooked the numbers.
11:28Stole 30% of our playoff bonuses.
11:30We bled on that ice.
11:31We took the hits.
11:32And you?
11:33You blew our blood money on Instagram models?
11:35You're pathetic.
11:36And don't worry about the cup.
11:37I just signed Sebastian.
11:42Three-time MVP.
11:44You're already replaced.
11:46You're fucking badass!
12:06You're fucking badass!
12:11On screen was a photo from three years ago, me, deathly pale in a hospital bed.
12:16Same night.
12:17Luca in a VIP booth, making it rain with a girl on each arm.
12:21You hired a PI to stalk me?
12:24I also have toxicology reports and proof of his drug use.
12:27He cheated while I was pregnant.
12:29He embezzled company funds.
12:31And he hides a severe narcotics addiction.
12:36Your Honor.
12:37The North Stars franchise grew its valuation from $5 million to $500 million,
12:42solely because of my operational management.
12:46Shut up!
12:47This team is nothing without me!
12:48I don't know!
12:50I don't know!
12:51I don't know!
12:53I don't know!
12:55I don't know!
12:56His addiction destroyed the club's reputation and drove away our sponsors.
12:59He wasn't a partner, he was a liability.
13:04Since he deliberately squandered our assets, he gets absolutely nothing.
13:09The bailiffs shoved Luca back into his seat.
13:11He collapsed like dead weight, staring at nothing.
13:14He finally knew he was ruined.
13:18To you, Allie.
13:20Thank you for always looking out for me.
13:22In a dim corner, Mia offered me champagne, eyes lowered in faux meekness.
13:26My guard was down, I drained the glass.
13:29Minutes later, violent vertigo slammed into me.
13:32My heart hammered wildly.
13:34I'd been roofied.
13:39Please excuse me for a moment.
13:47It's going somewhere, Allie.
13:54Package secured.
13:55Room 1208.
13:56Those investors like to get freaky, so make sure you rig up extra cameras.
14:02I woke flat on my back on a freezing bed.
14:04Click.
14:05The sharp snap of a belt buckle cut the silence.
14:09Damn, what a body.
14:11Luca was eating good all these years.
14:13Several of them, reeking of liquor.
14:15I couldn't even force out a scream.
14:19I squeezed my eyes shut in despair.
14:22Rough, ragged breaths hit my neck.
14:24The stench of alcohol made my stomach turn.
14:26Just as one of them moved to violate me.
14:30The door to room 1208 exploded open.
14:33Sebastian stood in the doorway.
14:39Who the fuck are you?
14:40Get out!
14:58I'm sorry, Allie, I'm late.
15:01Sebastian, don't let them go.
15:03Find Chloe and Mia.
15:04Bring them to me.
15:13Lock down the scene.
15:14Get Chloe.
15:20Allie, you're insane!
15:22Let me go!
15:23This is false imprisonment!
15:27Chloe, when you paid men to gang rape me at the hotel,
15:31did you think about the law then?
15:37Why wouldn't you let Luca go?
15:39Why did you ruin his career?
15:41That's right, I did it.
15:43Once you're dead, Luca's mine.
15:44The entire Stone family fortune is mine!
15:47So, my miscarriage.
15:49That was you too?
15:50You greased the stairs?
15:53So, what if I did?
15:55Watching you bleed out?
15:56Listening to you beg for help?
15:58It was the best movie I ever saw!
16:00Three years ago.
16:01A freezing winter night.
16:03I had fallen down those stairs alone,
16:05screaming for help until my throat bled.
16:07No one ever came.
16:08It had all been a setup.
16:10My hands shook violently, my breathing shallow and erratic.
16:16That was a life, Chloe!
16:19You're a monster!
16:25Wiping the spit from my face,
16:27I slowly pulled my phone from the shadows and turned the screen toward her.
16:31A live stream.
16:32You live stream this.
16:38Ali, take back the accusations you made on that live stream,
16:41or the Stone family lawyers will sue you into bankruptcy.
16:44Illegally, recording and broadcasting's privacy is a felony!
16:48Get on your knees and beg.
16:49Maybe I'll tell my father to spare you.
16:53You thought I only had one live stream?
16:56Open your eyes.
16:57See how many times this can bury you.
17:00Every single page damage.
17:01Wire transfers for illegal underground gambling.
17:04Proof of match fixing.
17:05And the paper trail of shell companies he used to embezzle the player's hard-earned bonuses.
17:12You...
17:13How do you have these?
17:15These files have already been forwarded to the media,
17:17and Wenya's, and the Hockey League headquarters.
17:22Get ready for prison, Luca.
17:31Luca!
17:32Where are you?
17:33We're finished!
17:34The company's gone under!
17:35Your dad's collapsed!
17:36I have to get back here right now!
17:54You're finished, Luca.
18:01Get off me!
18:02Liar!
18:04Liar!
18:06Liar!
18:07Liar!
18:10Liar!
18:13Ali!
18:14Ali!
18:15Come out!
18:16Look at me!
18:17It's all my fault!
18:19Drop the charges, or I'll die right here!
18:21I'll make the world watch!
18:23They'll know you forced your ex-husband to die!
18:26Just as I grabbed my phone to call the cops,
18:28blinding high beams cut through the dark.
18:36Stay away from her.
18:37Who the fuck are you?
18:45Listen to me.
18:46You had her, and you didn't cherish her.
18:48If you ever come near her again,
18:50next time, I will kill you.
18:51By now, the paparazzi had arrived.
18:54They set up their heavy cameras.
18:56Camera flashes exploded in the dark.
18:58Normally, Sebastian would ignore them.
19:01He would walk away.
19:02Not tonight.
19:03Since the press is here, let me make this clear.
19:06I know everyone is guessing,
19:07why I'd walk away from a multi-million dollar contract
19:09to join a struggling team.
19:11Today I'll tell ya.
19:13It was never about the money.
19:14I came here for Ali.
19:17Where she goes, I go.
19:20Your honor, it was all Luca's idea.
19:22He forced me to drug Ali.
19:24He greased the stairs.
19:25You bitch!
19:26You seduced me!
19:28You said if we got rid of Ali, the Stone family money was ours!
19:34What did you promise me?
19:35In bed!
19:36Now you're selling me out just to shave a few years off your sentence?
19:42Enough!
19:44Bailiffs, separate them!
19:46Court is adjourned!
19:48Take them away!
19:49The bailiffs grabbed them by the arms,
19:51dragging them out of the courtroom.
19:53As they approached the gallery aisle,
19:55I took my time standing up.
19:57Ali...
19:59Save me.
20:01Ali, please!
20:02For the sake of...
20:03For the sake of our unborn child, help me!
20:09Ali!
20:10You piece of trash!
20:13You don't get to mention my dead child!
20:18Ali, the Stone family is done.
20:21This team is a sinking ship.
20:23Just come back to Chicago with me.
20:26Name your price.
20:27He sounded totally confident.
20:29I pushed the check away and looked out the window.
20:31Down on the ice rink, a lone figure in black was taking shots.
20:35I'm not leaving.
20:36I'm going to buy it.
20:38Auction day.
20:39Every major investor was there.
20:41An ex-wife.
20:42Here to watch the show?
20:44I sat stone-faced in the front row, waiting for the final call.
20:4750 million dollars.
20:48Sold!
20:49The North Stars was officially mine.
20:51That afternoon, I stood at center ice for the renaming ceremony.
20:55Behind me, the Stone family flag slowly came down.
20:58A new banner rose in its place.
21:01From today on, the North Stars is history.
21:04This team is officially reborn as the Blades.
21:08One by one, the players skated onto the ice.
21:11They proudly wore the brand new crest on their chests.
21:14Hundreds of cameras broadcast this moment live to the world.
21:17Ten minutes later, social media completely crashed.
21:22Ali, you're a PR girl.
21:24What do you know about hockey?
21:27You expect us to trade off this piece of paper?
21:29Are you crazy?
21:32I pulled three termination contracts from my folder, slapping them hard against the leader's chests.
21:37Don't like it?
21:40Sign this and get out.
21:42The Blades don't keep dead weight.
21:45From today on, I make the rules here.
21:49Fail the conditioning metrics and you're scratched from the roster for the next game.
21:53Understood?
21:55Understood.
21:56As I walked out the door, the rival manager blocked the hallway.
22:00Waving a check, he tried to poach Sebastian with a massive public offer.
22:04Sebastian stopped.
22:05Without even glancing at the paper.
22:08With the Stanley Cup around the corner, the team began hellish training, pushing themselves day and night.
22:142 AM.
22:15I sat in the stands, checking endless data.
22:18Too exhausted to hold on, I finally fell asleep against my seat.
22:22Sometime later, a sudden weight on my shoulders woke me up.
22:26Awake, come down.
22:28Taking his hand, I stepped onto the empty rink.
22:30With most of the stadium lights killed, the ice gave off a quiet, chilling gleam.
22:38Ali, I will bring that championship trophy back.
22:49Is that all you've got?
22:51A pack of stray dogs thinking you can touch the Stanley Cup?
22:56Final three minutes of the championship game.
22:58Score tied.
22:592-2.
23:0020,000 fans screamed.
23:02The noise almost shattered the roof.
23:05Standing on the sidelines, my nails dug painfully into my palms.
23:08Sebastian, go!
23:11Half his face obscured by his visor.
23:13He ignored the trash talk.
23:15Nearly tightening his grip on his stick in dead silence.
23:18The whistle blew.
23:19The final battle began.
23:21Sebastian was slammed hard into the boards.
23:24A sickening thud.
23:25He crashed to the ice, but scrambled right back up.
23:2810 seconds on the clock.
23:30Sebastian stole the puck.
23:31He blew past the triple team in a blur of black.
23:34Stop him!
23:35Take him out!
23:363 seconds left.
23:37Losing his balance, Sebastian poured every last ounce of his strength into a vicious slap
23:42shot right before his body hit the ice.
23:46He scores!
23:47The blades win!
23:49We are the champions!
23:51Every blade rushed the ice like crazy.
23:53They formed a circle.
23:55I sprinted onto the ring.
23:56Ripping off his helmet, Sebastian, drenched in sweat, grabbed me and twisted me high into the air.
24:02Wait, what's wrong?
24:06Champions!
24:07The blades are champions!
24:10Right under the gaze of a million eyes and flashing cameras.
24:13He dropped to one knee on the freezing ice and pulled out a ring.
24:17Ally?
24:18Will you marry me?
24:19Tears welling in my eyes, I nodded.
24:21Amid the deafening roar of tens of thousands of fans, I let him lift me high into the air.
24:25That night, Sebastian pinned me against the cold floor to ceiling glass window.
24:30You won boss.
24:31He swept me up into his arms, and we tumbled into the massive, plush bed.
24:35One year later, I stood at the podium for the launch of the blades youth hockey foundation.
24:40Someone once told me that hockey was a business strictly for the elite.
24:43But I stand here today, to tell every kid with a dream.
24:47If you have the courage to swing the stick, the ice will always be open for you.
24:51Cheers erupted through the hall, and camera shutters fired like machine guns.
24:55Standing quietly in the crowd, Sebastian held our baby in his arms.
24:59Across the sea of people, our eyes met, and he smiled at me with quiet tenderness.
25:03Who was glad?
25:04He does at the same time's love, no love, no bad?
25:04Alex Hammerly millennial, Ticklin Central and Blue Moon!
