Transcript

00:00:00I support Lucy Snow, fighting in 520 underground matches.

00:00:03When I walk free, I stop living in her shadow.

00:00:06A disdainful glance no longer angers me.

00:00:08While restoring my ID at the city hall, the clerk asks for my marital status.

00:00:12I pocket the marriage certificate.

00:00:14I shake my head and smile.

00:00:16Single.

00:00:17Someone recognizes me.

00:00:18Didn't you propose to Ms. Snow, the CEO of Snow Group, back then?

00:00:22I freeze.

00:00:23This is unexpected.

00:00:24You're mistaken.

00:00:25I say, and turn to leave in a hurry.

00:00:27But I underestimate Lucy's reach.

00:00:3030 minutes later, her car blocks my path.

00:00:32She steps out in a white gown that makes her look beautiful.

00:00:35But her gaze is sharp.

00:00:37You're out.

00:00:38Why didn't you come to me?

00:00:40I light up a cigarette.

00:00:42You were celebrating the company's IPO.

00:00:44How could I interrupt, Ms. Snow?

00:00:45At my nonchalant attitude, she stiffens.

00:00:48She remembers winning her scholarship.

00:00:50I was happier than she was, lifting her high.

00:00:53With my eyes full of joy, now my eyes are dim.

00:00:56Her heart clenches.

00:00:58A passerby recognizes her, and a crowd gathers.

00:01:00It's Ms. Snow.

00:01:01So she and Mr. Shane Holt really are a couple.

00:01:04I hear Mr. Holt loves sailing, so she gifted him a $50 million yacht.

00:01:08She's staging a meteor shower for his birthday.

00:01:10Lucy's heart sinks.

00:01:11She shoots me a panicked glance, trying to make up an excuse.

00:01:14But I ignore it all.

00:01:15I lean against the wall, exhaling smoke coldly.

00:01:18She stiffens and says anxiously,

00:01:20Jay, it's not what you think.

00:01:22It's Shane's birthday today.

00:01:24He's done so much for the company.

00:01:26He deserves it.

00:01:28I snub out the cigarette and nod.

00:01:30All I do is nod.

00:01:31My indifference stings, Lucy.

00:01:34Jay, don't be so petty.

00:01:36There's nothing between us.

00:01:38No need to explain.

00:01:39Shane is your junior.

00:01:41I understand how close you two are.

00:01:43Lucy is stunned.

00:01:44In the past, just mentioning Shane would get me angry enough to smash things violently.

00:01:49She'd always snap at me.

00:01:51Jace, must you be so narrow-minded?

00:01:53Can't I take care of him?

00:01:55But the man before her now, he is calm.

00:01:57Almost cold.

00:01:58Who is he?

00:01:59She starts to panic.

00:02:00Then her phone rings.

00:02:02On the screen is a photo of her and Shane.

00:02:04She answers instantly.

00:02:05Shane?

00:02:06Lucy, my belly hurts.

00:02:07Did you drink again?

00:02:09Stay there, I'm gumming.

00:02:10She doesn't notice the worry in her voice.

00:02:12She hangs up.

00:02:13Then notices the ringtone and photo.

00:02:15Shane messed with my phone.

00:02:17I'll change it later.

00:02:19She reaches for my hand, her tone softening.

00:02:21Are you still blaming Shane for you going to prison?

00:02:24He crashed into your mom.

00:02:26But it was an accident.

00:02:27You beat him so bad he went to the hospital.

00:02:31I had to call the police.

00:02:32Let's call it even, okay?

00:02:34I've already punished him.

00:02:36I look at her with a half smile.

00:02:38How?

00:02:38She avoids my gaze, almost whispering.

00:02:41I docked a month of his pay.

00:02:42I laugh.

00:02:43One life.

00:02:44Five years in jail.

00:02:45But it's only worth one month's pay.

00:02:47Lucy knows it's absurd too.

00:02:48She steps closer.

00:02:50Jay, it's all in the past.

00:02:51Let's move on.

00:02:53Come with me tonight.

00:02:54To his birthday party.

00:02:56Let's mend your relationship.

00:02:58I shift away from her.

00:03:00She freezes and tries to grab my arm.

00:03:02There's a screech of brakes.

00:03:04Shane steps out of the car, clutching his stomach.

00:03:06Lucy shoves me aside, rushing to support Shane.

00:03:09Her voice is full of worry.

00:03:11Didn't I tell you to wait?

00:03:13Your stomach is hurting.

00:03:14Shane leans weakly against her, but his gaze is on me.

00:03:17It's pitiful.

00:03:18Jay, about your mom.

00:03:20I really didn't mean to do it.

00:03:21He pauses.

00:03:22His lips curl up faintly.

00:03:24One more thing.

00:03:25Lucy made me vice CEO.

00:03:26That position was yours, Jay.

00:03:28You're not mad, right?

00:03:30Before, I would roar.

00:03:31I'd demand answers.

00:03:32How could she hand over the empire I built to my mother's killer?

00:03:35But now, I remain silent.

00:03:37Smoke blurs my face.

00:03:38Only emptiness remains.

00:03:40Lucy feels a stab in her heart.

00:03:42She comes closer, but Shane groans in pain.

00:03:44It draws her attention.

00:03:46Shane, does it hurt?

00:03:47Let's go to the hospital.

00:03:48She rushes him into the car, without glancing back at me.

00:03:51The dust settles.

00:03:52At that moment, I receive a call from the FBI.

00:03:55Jace Young, are you sure you want to go deep undercover in Lund?

00:03:58It's a high-risk assignment.

00:04:00You'll be gone for three years.

00:04:01You'll have to sever all ties.

00:04:03I watch the car disappear, my gaze hollow.

00:04:06I'm sure.

00:04:07My tone is steady and calm.

00:04:10My only request is this.

00:04:11In seven days, and my marriage to Lucy.

00:04:15The voice on the line sounds surprised.

00:04:18Mr. Young, the higher-ups all know that you fought underground.

00:04:21To fund Ms. Snow's studies and career, you've refused our invitations many times.

00:04:26So why now?

00:04:28I gripped the phone so tightly, my knuckles turned white.

00:04:31Yes.

00:04:32Ten years.

00:04:33Five hundred twenty fights.

00:04:34My bones would break and heal.

00:04:36My stitches would reopen.

00:04:37Every time I step in the ring, it's my life on the line.

00:04:41What keeps me going is that night when I was eighteen.

00:04:44Behind a bar, I'd taken eight stabloons for her.

00:04:46She knelt by my bed and said,

00:04:49Jay, from now on, we only have each other.

00:04:52Those winter nights, cuddling for warmth.

00:04:55The summer nights, dreaming of the future.

00:04:58That was my whole world.

00:05:00But after she met Shane in college, my light started to dim.

00:05:04I swallow the bitterness of blood in my throat.

00:05:06Then I say hoarsely,

00:05:09From now on, I have no wife.

00:05:12Late at night, Lucy comes to our old home.

00:05:15The door opens.

00:05:16She covers her nose and frowns.

00:05:18What are you doing here?

00:05:20The villa's empty.

00:05:22The staff are all waiting.

00:05:25I look around silently at the worn old house.

00:05:28She's probably forgotten.

00:05:29Ten years ago, this leaking roof sheltered her when she had nowhere to go.

00:05:34Also, all those winter nights,

00:05:37when we squeezed onto that old couch,

00:05:38we'd freeze as we dreamed of the future.

00:05:41The birthday party is at a luxury hotel.

00:05:43When I walk in wearing my ill-fitting suit,

00:05:46I get strange looks from everyone.

00:05:48Someone sneers.

00:05:49Clothes make the man.

00:05:51Too bad this is a hand-me-down from Shane.

00:05:53It doesn't suit you.

00:05:55I look at Lucy.

00:05:56She avoids my gaze, saying in a low voice,

00:05:59Time was tight.

00:06:00We couldn't order a new one.

00:06:02You two are about the same build.

00:06:04Just make do, okay?

00:06:07She thinks I'll rip it off and storm off.

00:06:10Instead, I calmly walk to a corner.

00:06:13And sit.

00:06:14The suit feels like shackles on me,

00:06:16making me look thin and out of place.

00:06:18But the dimness in my gaze makes Lucy's chest tighten.

00:06:22A waiter approaches.

00:06:24Ms. Snow, Mr. Holt is looking for you.

00:06:27She looks at me with hesitation.

00:06:29She looks at me with hesitation.

00:06:31I lift up a glass of champagne,

00:06:34tilting it toward her.

00:06:35Go.

00:06:36He needs you.

00:06:37She replies instantly.

00:06:39I'll be back soon.

00:06:41Wait for me.

00:06:42Before she finishes,

00:06:44she's already turned.

00:06:45Lights dim suddenly,

00:06:46and the spotlight lights up.

00:06:47It shines on the two on stage.

00:06:49Shane looks sharp in his suit.

00:06:51Handsome and dashing.

00:06:52Lucy links her arm with his.

00:06:54Her red dress dazzling.

00:06:56Applause floods the hall.

00:06:58They seem like a perfect pair.

00:06:59On her face is a smile.

00:07:01It is a pure smile I haven't seen in years.

00:07:03Once, I had risked everything.

00:07:05Just to protect that smile,

00:07:07I thought my heart was already hollow.

00:07:08But it still manages to ache.

00:07:11Kiss him.

00:07:12The crowd starts to cheer.

00:07:14Under the swirling lights,

00:07:15I catch Lucy glancing at me.

00:07:17It is an anxious glance.

00:07:18After a moment of hesitation,

00:07:20she tiptoes.

00:07:21Then she places a kiss,

00:07:23right on Shane's cheek.

00:07:25I look away calmly,

00:07:27gazing at the city lights outside.

00:07:30Back home,

00:07:31I pull out my phone immediately.

00:07:33I dial a number,

00:07:34then say calmly,

00:07:35Book me a ticket.

00:07:37In seven days,

00:07:38I'm flying to Lund.

00:07:39A panicked female voice

00:07:41suddenly shouts,

00:07:43What ticket?

00:07:44Where are you going?

00:07:46Lucy practically runs over

00:07:48to block my path.

00:07:49She's breathing hard

00:07:50with panic in her eyes.

00:07:52Where are you going?

00:07:54Her voice is tight.

00:07:55I put my phone away,

00:07:57gaze drifting past her.

00:07:59I'm just going for a holiday.

00:08:01The flatness of my tone

00:08:03stings her uncomfortably.

00:08:05She reaches for my arm.

00:08:07When her fingers touch my skin,

00:08:10she softens her tone.

00:08:12Jay,

00:08:13what happened on stage

00:08:14was just an act.

00:08:16You said you wanted

00:08:17to see the snow peak.

00:08:18Once things settle down,

00:08:20let's go, okay?

00:08:21She looks up at me,

00:08:22searching my once passionate gaze,

00:08:25looking for a trace

00:08:26of the old warmth.

00:08:27I gently pull my arm back.

00:08:29I didn't misunderstand.

00:08:30I reply.

00:08:31The sudden emptiness,

00:08:33and her palm makes her pause.

00:08:34Isn't this what she wants?

00:08:36Aren't I being reasonable now?

00:08:37So why does her heart

00:08:38stop for a moment?

00:08:39Why is she panicking?

00:08:40Lucy quickly composes herself,

00:08:42slipping back

00:08:43into her usual decisive tone.

00:08:45Stop st-

00:08:46Shane hasn't been sleeping well.

00:08:48We tried everything,

00:08:49but nothing worked.

00:08:51He finally saw a psychic.

00:08:53Apparently,

00:08:53the energies of this place

00:08:55clash with him.

00:08:56This house is old.

00:08:57The paint is peeling,

00:08:58and it leaks when it rains.

00:09:00But here,

00:09:01when she had fevers in the winter,

00:09:03I'd warm the quilt

00:09:04with my own body

00:09:05and wrap it around

00:09:05her trembling frame.

00:09:07The chipped table corner

00:09:08still bears our carved initials.

00:09:10Now, she says,

00:09:12the place attracts troubles

00:09:13and wants to burn it down,

00:09:15all just so Shane can sleep better.

00:09:17Lucy looks away under my gaze,

00:09:19but her voice stays steady,

00:09:20she says matter-of-factly.

00:09:23Jay,

00:09:24Shane's an orphan too.

00:09:26He's pitiful.

00:09:27As my husband,

00:09:28you should understand.

00:09:29I'll pay you ten times

00:09:31the market price.

00:09:32You won't lose out.

00:09:34This broken house

00:09:34wasn't worth much anyway.

00:09:37Take it.

00:09:38I interrupt her.

00:09:40I walk to the drawer,

00:09:42take out the yellow deed,

00:09:43and place it gently on the table.

00:09:46Now we're even.

00:09:48Lucy stares at the deed,

00:09:50stunned.

00:09:51She suddenly remembers the past.

00:09:53When she'd suggested selling the house,

00:09:55my eyes were bloodshot,

00:09:56and I was furious.

00:09:58I roared loudly.

00:09:59Over my dead body.

00:10:01But now,

00:10:02I hand it over calmly.

00:10:04In fact,

00:10:04I even smile.

00:10:05It is a faint smile,

00:10:07and the last flicker of light

00:10:08in my eyes

00:10:09seems to dim,

00:10:09and dies out.

00:10:10She feels a surge

00:10:11of panic and anger.

00:10:12Why am I so calm?

00:10:14I spent a year in prison.

00:10:15I have no degree,

00:10:16and am good for nothing

00:10:17but my fists.

00:10:18Where can I go without her?

00:10:20This must just be a tantrum.

00:10:22Her voice turns cold.

00:10:23She says sharply,

00:10:25We're even.

00:10:26Jay!

00:10:27Be realistic.

00:10:28Besides me.

00:10:30Who would want you?

00:10:32Her custom ringtone rings,

00:10:33and Shane can be heard

00:10:35on the other end.

00:10:37He says needily,

00:10:38Lucy.

00:10:39I feel so dizzy.

00:10:40The guests are all waiting.

00:10:42I'm coming now.

00:10:44Lucy answers instantly.

00:10:45That anxious concern

00:10:46is nothing like the coldness

00:10:47she showed before.

00:10:49She hangs up and looks at me.

00:10:50She says hurriedly,

00:10:52Come back to the party.

00:10:53We'll talk later.

00:10:55I don't answer,

00:10:56already turning to the stove.

00:10:58She frowns,

00:11:00then hesitates for a moment.

00:11:01In the end,

00:11:03she leaves in a rush.

00:11:05Her heels strike the floor,

00:11:07clearly and quickly,

00:11:08and fade down the hall.

00:11:10Water starts to boil in the pot,

00:11:12and I throw in some ingredients.

00:11:14Steam rises,

00:11:15blurring the old marks on the wall.

00:11:18There was once a chalk drawing there.

00:11:20It was a crooked little sun.

00:11:22Just as my meal is ready,

00:11:23the old wooden door

00:11:24is kicked open with a bang.

00:11:26Lucy comes back.

00:11:27She reeks of alcohol

00:11:29and burns with rage.

00:11:30She storms straight at me

00:11:32and shoves me hard.

00:11:33The scalding soup

00:11:35in the bowl tips over,

00:11:37flashing on my hand.

00:11:38It turns red instantly.

00:11:39The bowl shatters

00:11:40and pieces fly everywhere.

00:11:41She doesn't even look

00:11:42at the mess or my hand.

00:11:45She just stares at me

00:11:46with fury in her eyes.

00:11:48Jace, was it you?

00:11:50Did you hire someone

00:11:51to run Shane over?

00:11:53Was it because of that crash

00:11:54five years ago?

00:11:56Do you want him dead?

00:11:58That beautiful face

00:12:00clashes with the girl I know.

00:12:02I can't find a trace of familiarity.

00:12:04She is the same person,

00:12:05but inside, she's changed.

00:12:08I try to speak,

00:12:09but my throat feels raw.

00:12:11Hasn't this happened before?

00:12:12In college,

00:12:13Shane's scholarship was revoked.

00:12:15He cried and blamed me

00:12:16for reporting him.

00:12:17At a company party,

00:12:18he got drunk.

00:12:19He hid behind her,

00:12:20saying,

00:12:21J wants me dead.

00:12:22It's a cheap setup every time,

00:12:24but she always believes him.

00:12:25The worst time,

00:12:27I'd asked her with reddened eyes.

00:12:28In your eyes,

00:12:29is he that trustworthy?

00:12:31She responded instantly.

00:12:33Yes,

00:12:34Shane is pure and innocent.

00:12:36But you?

00:12:37You always hang around

00:12:38those filthy places.

00:12:39She's forgotten.

00:12:40I've risked my life

00:12:41in places like that,

00:12:42for the sake of her future.

00:12:45Jace,

00:12:45stop being so petty.

00:12:47Your mom's death

00:12:48was an accident.

00:12:49Each word hits me

00:12:50like a hammer.

00:12:51I steady myself,

00:12:53and bend to pick up the broom.

00:12:54I slowly sweep the shards

00:12:56into the dustpan.

00:12:57My movements are slow,

00:12:58as if I'm cleaning up.

00:12:59A mess I already saw coming.

00:13:01That calm expression

00:13:03unsettles Lucy.

00:13:05Forget it.

00:13:06She takes a deep breath,

00:13:08then softens her tone.

00:13:09Thankfully,

00:13:10Shane is kind.

00:13:10He won't push it.

00:13:12After a pause,

00:13:13she seems to think of something.

00:13:14Your dad's getting old.

00:13:15I'll bring him to the city.

00:13:18She says all of this lightly.

00:13:20I don't respond.

00:13:21I don't think she actually means it.

00:13:23The next day,

00:13:24I get a call from my cousin.

00:13:25Jay,

00:13:26your dad took the train

00:13:27to see you this morning.

00:13:28He should be there now.

00:13:29The line goes dead.

00:13:31I start feeling uneasy.

00:13:32That evening,

00:13:33an unknown number calls.

00:13:35Mr. Young,

00:13:36come to the villa quickly.

00:13:38Your father...

00:13:39Then there is static.

00:13:40The call cuts off.

00:13:41When I rush out,

00:13:42my hands tremble.

00:13:43I reach the villa

00:13:44and push the door open,

00:13:45and the smell of blood hits me.

00:13:46Dad is pinned to a wooden chair.

00:13:48All of his nails are ripped out.

00:13:50His fingertips are mangled and bloody.

00:13:52His shirt's torn off,

00:13:53revealing his flayed back.

00:13:55It looks like it's been scraped raw.

00:13:57With a coarse brush,

00:13:59blood soaks his pants.

00:14:00Dad!

00:14:01I rush over,

00:14:02my legs giving out.

00:14:04I shove past Shane and the others,

00:14:06taking of my coat

00:14:07and wrapping it around Dad.

00:14:09He looks up at me,

00:14:11lips trembling,

00:14:12but no sound comes out.

00:14:13Rage burns away my reason.

00:14:15I rise,

00:14:16fist clenched tightly.

00:14:18Stop!

00:14:18Lucy rushes in,

00:14:20shoves me aside,

00:14:21and shields Shane.

00:14:23She sees the blood on the floor,

00:14:25and snaps.

00:14:26What happened?

00:14:28But she still stands in front of him.

00:14:31Shane looks pale,

00:14:32and he says pitifully,

00:14:34A thief broke in.

00:14:35He stole the watch you gave me.

00:14:37I panicked.

00:14:38So...

00:14:40He shoots me a look

00:14:41with a hint of provocation.

00:14:43I didn't know he was Jay's father.

00:14:46Hearing that,

00:14:47Lucy shields Shane tighter.

00:14:50She turns to me,

00:14:51saying with a tone of warning,

00:14:53Jay,

00:14:54it's a misunderstanding.

00:14:55Shane didn't mean it.

00:14:57She pauses,

00:14:58then lowers her voice.

00:14:59If you touch him,

00:15:00I'll call the police.

00:15:02Do you want to go back to prison?

00:15:04I freeze.

00:15:05Then,

00:15:06she adds calmly,

00:15:07as if it's obvious,

00:15:08besides,

00:15:09your dad stole things.

00:15:11He deserves to be punished.

00:15:13After she says that,

00:15:14the place falls silent.

00:15:16My blood starts to boil.

00:15:18I look at her,

00:15:19at how she's shielding Shane.

00:15:21I look at her face,

00:15:22and that judgmental expression.

00:15:23I suddenly remember,

00:15:25the year the company started.

00:15:27Dad took out,

00:15:27his life savings for Lucy.

00:15:29His old hands trembling,

00:15:30as he said,

00:15:31Lucy,

00:15:32I support your dream.

00:15:33And now,

00:15:34she herself shames him as a thief.

00:15:36My clenched fists,

00:15:38slowly loosen.

00:15:39I lower my head,

00:15:40forcing back the last trace of tears.

00:15:43When I look up again,

00:15:44I'm actually smiling softly.

00:15:45The smile is faint,

00:15:47and bleak.

00:15:48I bend down,

00:15:49carefully lifting,

00:15:50my barely breathing father.

00:15:52At the doorway,

00:15:53I pause,

00:15:53and glance back at Lucy.

00:15:55The moment our eyes meet,

00:15:57her heart suddenly clenches.

00:15:59In my eyes,

00:16:00the last trace of light,

00:16:01goes out.

00:16:02After emergency treatment,

00:16:03Dad's life is saved for now.

00:16:05The doctor calls me into the hall,

00:16:07his expression grave.

00:16:08The patient's heart is fragile.

00:16:09This trauma was too severe.

00:16:11He's barely holding on.

00:16:12He absolutely must not suffer,

00:16:14any more shock.

00:16:15In the hospital room,

00:16:16Dad's hand is thin as a stick,

00:16:18yet he tightly grips my sleeve,

00:16:20saying hoarsely,

00:16:22Jay,

00:16:23I didn't steal anything.

00:16:25My heart aches with pain,

00:16:26and I can only nod.

00:16:28Dad looks at me with cloudy eyes.

00:16:30He forces a faint smile,

00:16:31and still tries to defend Lucy.

00:16:33Don't blame Lucy.

00:16:34She runs such a big company.

00:16:36It's not easy for her.

00:16:37Be more patient with her.

00:16:39I understand.

00:16:40I swallow.

00:16:40The bitterness I feel.

00:16:42I bend down to whisper,

00:16:43Dad,

00:16:44when you're a little better,

00:16:45I'll take you abroad.

00:16:46We'll leave this place.

00:16:48A flicker of light fills his eyes,

00:16:50and he gently pats my hand.

00:16:52The door opens at that moment.

00:16:54Where are you taking Dad?

00:16:56Lucy has arrived.

00:16:57She's carrying several expensive gifts.

00:16:59She walks to the bedside,

00:17:00her expression just appropriately guilty.

00:17:03Dad,

00:17:03are you feeling better?

00:17:05Yesterday was a misunderstanding.

00:17:06I've already spoken to Shane.

00:17:08Her tone is soft,

00:17:09as if that cruel scene

00:17:10has truly just been a mistake.

00:17:12The nurse comes in

00:17:13to announce the final test.

00:17:14After that,

00:17:15Dad can leave.

00:17:16I move to help Dad up,

00:17:17but Lucy takes his arm first.

00:17:19Her voice is gentle,

00:17:21but firm.

00:17:21Let me.

00:17:22This is my fault.

00:17:24Dad glances at me,

00:17:25and gently nudges me.

00:17:26Let Lucy help me.

00:17:27He wants to ease

00:17:29the tension between us.

00:17:30I stand there,

00:17:32watching her,

00:17:33as she helps him away.

00:17:35The unease inside me

00:17:36spreads throughout,

00:17:38slowly clouding everything.

00:17:39The exam has just finished.

00:17:41Lucy's phone rings.

00:17:42The voice on the line is frantic.

00:17:44Miss Snow,

00:17:45Mr. Holt was hit by a billboard.

00:17:47He's RH negative,

00:17:49and he's lost a lot.

00:17:50The blood bank is low.

00:17:52No matching blood is available.

00:17:53Lucy starts to get anxious.

00:17:55She suddenly recalls the earlier report.

00:17:57Joe Young,

00:17:57his blood type

00:17:58is RH negative.

00:18:00She barely hesitates.

00:18:02She turns to the aid,

00:18:03ordering quickly.

00:18:04Take him to the blood test lab.

00:18:06Now.

00:18:08On the way to the lab,

00:18:09Joe asks nervously,

00:18:11Lucy,

00:18:11what test is this?

00:18:13Lucy keeps walking,

00:18:15but glances back to smile at him.

00:18:16She says casually,

00:18:18The weather's good today.

00:18:20Dad,

00:18:21it's nothing.

00:18:22They just need some blood

00:18:23for a routine blood test.

00:18:24In the lab,

00:18:26the needle pierces.

00:18:27Joe's thin blue veins.

00:18:29The blood flows.

00:18:31Into the bag,

00:18:32after one bag.

00:18:33The nurse watches the monitor.

00:18:35The numbers fluctuate.

00:18:36She looks up and warns,

00:18:38Miss Snow,

00:18:39he's too weak.

00:18:40We can't take any more blood.

00:18:42Lucy stands by Shane's bed,

00:18:44holding his bandaged hand.

00:18:46She doesn't even frown,

00:18:48as she says clearly,

00:18:49Draw more.

00:18:50It won't hurt him.

00:18:51If anything happens,

00:18:53it's on me.

00:18:53Meanwhile,

00:18:54in dad's hospital room,

00:18:56my anxiety reaches its peak.

00:18:58Dad's been gone for too long.

00:19:00When I want to look around,

00:19:01a nurse bursts in.

00:19:02Her face is pale.

00:19:04Mr. Young,

00:19:05your father had a sudden heart attack.

00:19:07He's being resuscitated.

00:19:08My mind goes blank.

00:19:10I rush to the OR,

00:19:11but the doorway is empty.

00:19:12There are no doctors.

00:19:13Only the red operating light is flashing.

00:19:16The silence is terrifying.

00:19:17I grab a nurse running past.

00:19:19Nurse,

00:19:19where's the doctor?

00:19:20Who's saving my father?

00:19:22The nurse stammers,

00:19:24frightened.

00:19:25Th-they...

00:19:26Miss Snow moved them

00:19:28to the Viper room.

00:19:29It's more urgent there.

00:19:31My hands shake,

00:19:32and I dial Lucy's number.

00:19:34The first time disconnects.

00:19:35The second,

00:19:36a busy tone.

00:19:37The third time,

00:19:38I get a cold voicemail.

00:19:40The user is powered off.

00:19:41I run through the hospital,

00:19:42frantic.

00:19:43Finally,

00:19:44in the stairwell,

00:19:44I stop an old doctor on the way home.

00:19:47I almost beg him as I drag him to the OR.

00:19:50Minutes later,

00:19:51the door opens.

00:19:52The doctor removes his mask,

00:19:54and shakes his head.

00:19:55His tired eyes are full of regret.

00:19:57It's too late.

00:19:58Cardiogenic shock.

00:19:59My condolences.

00:20:00I lean against the cold wall,

00:20:02and slowly slide down.

00:20:04The world loses all sound and color.

00:20:06I sit outside the morgue all night.

00:20:08Outside,

00:20:09the sky starts to brighten,

00:20:11but I stay there like a statue.

00:20:12The phone screen suddenly lights up.

00:20:16A message from Lucy pops up.

00:20:19Jay,

00:20:20Dad's done with his checkup.

00:20:21He's resting in his room.

00:20:23Don't worry.

00:20:24From now on,

00:20:25let's take good care of him.

00:20:27Let him enjoy his remaining years.

00:20:30Attached is a photo.

00:20:32Shane leans on the bed.

00:20:33His face flushed.

00:20:35Smiling at the camera,

00:20:36half of Lucy's body is captured.

00:20:38She's carefully tucking Shane in.

00:20:40I stare at the message for a long time.

00:20:43Then lower my head.

00:20:44My shoulders began to tremble.

00:20:46At first,

00:20:47there are just broken,

00:20:48suppressed gasps.

00:20:49Then hollow,

00:20:50choppy laughter follows.

00:20:52Finally,

00:20:53the laughter twists

00:20:54into uncontrollable pain.

00:20:56I curl up on the cold floor.

00:20:57My nails digging into my palms.

00:20:59Blood trickling down.

00:21:01I regret it.

00:21:02I regret ever meeting her.

00:21:04After handling Dad's affairs,

00:21:05I go straight to the hospital.

00:21:07Shane's room is in the VIP wing.

00:21:09The hallway is carpeted

00:21:10and utterly silent.

00:21:12I push the door open.

00:21:13Shane is in bed,

00:21:14playing on his phone.

00:21:16His cheeks are rosy,

00:21:17showing no sign of weakness

00:21:18from blood loss.

00:21:19Hearing the noise,

00:21:20Shane looks up and sees me.

00:21:22He smiles.

00:21:25Jay?

00:21:25He puts down his phone,

00:21:27looking surprised and proud.

00:21:29What brings you here?

00:21:30Are you apologizing?

00:21:31There's no need.

00:21:32I know you didn't mean it.

00:21:34I walk to the bedside

00:21:35and gently place the urn

00:21:36on the nightstand.

00:21:38Shane's smile freezes.

00:21:40What's this?

00:21:41My dad.

00:21:41I say calmly,

00:21:42as if I were talking

00:21:43about the weather.

00:21:45In the VIP room,

00:21:47Shane's expression flickers,

00:21:48but quickly,

00:21:49he switches back

00:21:50to that pitiful expression.

00:21:51Jay,

00:21:52that really was an accident.

00:21:53I needed a blood transfusion.

00:21:55I'm sad about your dad too,

00:21:57but Lucy was just too worried.

00:21:59That's why...

00:22:00That's why she drained his blood.

00:22:02Hearing that,

00:22:03I look at him.

00:22:04Is that so?

00:22:05Shane feels uneasy

00:22:07under my gaze.

00:22:08Shivering,

00:22:08he forces himself to say,

00:22:10It's just a medical accident, Jay.

00:22:12You have to accept it.

00:22:13Accept it?

00:22:14I repeated.

00:22:16Suddenly,

00:22:16I laugh.

00:22:17Shane,

00:22:18before my father left,

00:22:20what did you say to him?

00:22:21His gaze flickers.

00:22:23What could I say?

00:22:24I don't even know him.

00:22:26A nurse said,

00:22:27that when she was drawing his blood,

00:22:30you walked inside.

00:22:32The air in the room tenses up.

00:22:34Shane's mask of calm

00:22:36begins to peel away.

00:22:37What remains

00:22:38is unmasked mockery

00:22:40and arrogance.

00:22:41That's right,

00:22:41he says lightly.

00:22:43I went to see that old man.

00:22:45My hands clench up tightly

00:22:46and my knuckles whiten.

00:22:48I told him,

00:22:49Shane slowly continues,

00:22:50that his son is trash.

00:22:52You worked so hard

00:22:52to help Lucy start the company,

00:22:54yet in the end,

00:22:55I profited.

00:22:55You served five years in jail

00:22:57and now,

00:22:58you can't even find a job.

00:23:00You still depend on your wife's charity,

00:23:02I told him.

00:23:02That his son's greatest achievement,

00:23:04his being my money bank

00:23:05for ten years.

00:23:06And now,

00:23:07even your father

00:23:08becomes my blood bank.

00:23:10Shane smiles,

00:23:11his eyes curving up.

00:23:12Guess how he reacted.

00:23:14When he heard it,

00:23:15he trembled in anger

00:23:17and his heart rate went crazy.

00:23:18Before Shane can finish,

00:23:20I swing my fist at him.

00:23:21He screams,

00:23:23rolling off the bed

00:23:24onto the floor,

00:23:25blood gushing from his nose.

00:23:26But he doesn't scream for help.

00:23:28Instead,

00:23:28he grins

00:23:29and laughs wildly.

00:23:31Hit me!

00:23:32Keep hitting me!

00:23:33Jay,

00:23:33you're nothing but a wild beast!

00:23:35I grab his collar,

00:23:37readying my fist

00:23:38for the next punch.

00:23:39Stop!

00:23:40Lucy screams.

00:23:41From the doorway,

00:23:42she rushes in,

00:23:44shoving me aside

00:23:44and shielding Shane behind her.

00:23:47She turns and glares at me,

00:23:48her gaze venomous.

00:23:50Chase,

00:23:51I guess you'll never change.

00:23:54Do you ever do anything

00:23:55besides fight?

00:23:56I slowly stand up,

00:23:58looking at the woman

00:23:58before me.

00:23:59Her eyes are filled with rage.

00:24:01I watch her careful movements

00:24:03as she lifts Shane.

00:24:04I watch him lean into her arms,

00:24:06crying pitifully.

00:24:07Lucy,

00:24:08I just wanted to apologize to Jay,

00:24:10but he...

00:24:11Don't be scared, Shane.

00:24:13I'm here.

00:24:13Lucy soothes Shane softly.

00:24:15When she looks up again,

00:24:16her gaze is icy cold.

00:24:18Chase,

00:24:19I've given you too many chances.

00:24:21She pulls out her phone

00:24:22and dials three numbers.

00:24:24Hello?

00:24:24Is this the police?

00:24:26This is the VIP room

00:24:27of City Hospital.

00:24:28Someone assaulted another person.

00:24:30In the room,

00:24:31I quietly listen to Lucy's report.

00:24:33She describes my violence

00:24:34and demands the police

00:24:35handle it seriously.

00:24:36After she hangs up,

00:24:37I slowly say,

00:24:39Lucy.

00:24:41She looks up.

00:24:42This is the last time

00:24:44you'll call my name.

00:24:46Then I smile.

00:24:47It's a faint,

00:24:48calm smile,

00:24:49but it makes Lucy's heart

00:24:51tighten inexplicably.

00:24:52The police arrive quickly.

00:24:53I offer no resistance,

00:24:55letting them cuff me.

00:24:56Before I leave,

00:24:58I glance back at the room.

00:25:00Lucy bend over,

00:25:01wiping Shane's bloody nose.

00:25:02Her gaze is focused and gentle.

00:25:04The whole time,

00:25:05she never looks at me again.

00:25:07Prison is harder than five years ago.

00:25:09I'm placed in maximum security.

00:25:11The first night,

00:25:13five men corner me.

00:25:14I don't fight back.

00:25:15I want to,

00:25:16but I can't.

00:25:17The food had been spiked.

00:25:18Two ribs are broken,

00:25:20and my left hand is smashed

00:25:21by an iron rod.

00:25:22I can hear the bones

00:25:23in my wrist shatter.

00:25:24I lie on the ground,

00:25:25blood spilling from my mouth,

00:25:27staring at the ceiling,

00:25:28looking at the dim light.

00:25:29I remember what Lucy said

00:25:31many years ago.

00:25:32Jay, your hands are the warmest.

00:25:35There's nothing better

00:25:36in this world.

00:25:37Now one hand is useless,

00:25:39and the other is following soon.

00:25:41I close my eyes and smile.

00:25:43Three days later,

00:25:44I'm released.

00:25:45Lucy is at the prison gate,

00:25:47waiting for me by the car.

00:25:49When I stagger out,

00:25:51she visibly freezes.

00:25:53Jay.

00:25:54She hurries forward.

00:25:55Her gaze falls on my limp left hand.

00:25:58What happened to your hand?

00:25:59I don't answer

00:26:00and just walk straight past her.

00:26:02Jay.

00:26:03She catches up to me,

00:26:05grabbing my arm.

00:26:05I'm asking you a question.

00:26:08I stop,

00:26:09slowly turning around.

00:26:10My gaze is hollow and lifeless,

00:26:13devoid of hate or love

00:26:14like dried up wells.

00:26:16It renders Lucy speechless.

00:26:19You.

00:26:20Her tone softens.

00:26:21I've thought a lot

00:26:22the past three days.

00:26:24I was at fault.

00:26:26I spoiled Shane too much.

00:26:28Let's start over,

00:26:29okay?

00:26:30I'll keep the old house

00:26:32and not tear it down.

00:26:34We can move back in.

00:26:36When dad's out of the hospital,

00:26:39we can live as a family of three.

00:26:42She takes a card out of her bag

00:26:44and puts it in my hand.

00:26:46There's 50 million dollars on here.

00:26:48Use it for now.

00:26:49I'll arrange for rehab courses for you.

00:26:51Your hand will heal.

00:26:53I stare at the card for a long time,

00:26:56then let go,

00:26:57and it falls.

00:27:00Lucy.

00:27:01My voice is hoarse.

00:27:02Let's get a divorce.

00:27:04Her face goes pale.

00:27:06What?

00:27:07Lucy's phone buzzes at that moment.

00:27:09Lucy, my head hurts so much.

00:27:11Where are you?

00:27:12She glances at the screen,

00:27:13her expression shifting.

00:27:15Jay, there's a company emergency.

00:27:17I have to go back quickly.

00:27:20Take a taxi back.

00:27:22We'll talk later.

00:27:23When she looks up again,

00:27:24panic fills her eyes.

00:27:25She doesn't even wait for my response,

00:27:27rushing to the car.

00:27:28The engine roars,

00:27:29ripping through the air,

00:27:30and she quickly disappears from sight.

00:27:32I stand there,

00:27:33watching the direction the car had gone

00:27:35and pursing my lips.

00:27:36She didn't even hear what I said.

00:27:37Or maybe she did,

00:27:39but the slightest complaint from Shane

00:27:41is enough for her

00:27:42to forget everything else.

00:27:44Then,

00:27:44my phone buzzes.

00:27:46It's a short,

00:27:47simple text.

00:27:48Mr. Young,

00:27:49your flight is scheduled

00:27:50to depart tonight

00:27:51at 9.30 p.m.

00:27:53The destination is

00:27:54Looned International Airport.

00:27:55Please be at the airport

00:27:57before 7 p.m.

00:27:58for check-in.

00:27:59Rain starts to fall,

00:28:00softly and steadily.

00:28:01I bend down

00:28:02and used my right hand

00:28:03to pick up the bank card.

00:28:04It's been drenched by the rain.

00:28:05I glance at it,

00:28:06then toss it

00:28:07into a trash can.

00:28:09I hail a taxi

00:28:11to the airport.

00:28:12Finally,

00:28:12I'm leaving.

00:28:13Lucy sits at the bedside,

00:28:15peeling an apple.

00:28:16Her movements are mechanical,

00:28:17as her mind is in a daze.

00:28:19The look I gave her when I left

00:28:20seemed like a knife,

00:28:22piercing her heart

00:28:23and never to be pulled out.

00:28:24Lucy!

00:28:25Shane calls out,

00:28:26bringing her back from her thoughts.

00:28:28She hands him an apple.

00:28:29Does it still hurt?

00:28:31I'm much better.

00:28:32Shane holds her hand,

00:28:33feeling her cold fingers.

00:28:35I just keep dreaming about Jay.

00:28:37Does he hate me?

00:28:38Lucy withdraws her hand.

00:28:40Don't overthink it.

00:28:41But she can't stop

00:28:42overthinking it herself.

00:28:43That last look I gave her

00:28:44was so hollow.

00:28:46It's been 10 years.

00:28:47For the first time,

00:28:49she doesn't get me.

00:28:50The next day,

00:28:50Lucy asks her assistant

00:28:51to contact a top tailor.

00:28:53To make me three suit.

00:28:54When she signs the check,

00:28:56she pauses.

00:28:56Make sure they fit.

00:28:58The assistant asks carefully.

00:29:00Mr. Young's measurements are...

00:29:02Lucy freezes.

00:29:0210 years?

00:29:03Yet she's never known

00:29:05my shoulder width.

00:29:05Or waist size.

00:29:07All she remembers

00:29:08is that faded old suit

00:29:09I always wear.

00:29:10It's like a shadow

00:29:11that always stays with me.

00:29:13Estimate them based

00:29:14on his old clothes.

00:29:15When Lucy says that,

00:29:16her face flushes slightly.

00:29:18My phone can't be read,

00:29:19and the house is locked.

00:29:20When reporting,

00:29:21the assistant averts his gaze.

00:29:22Neighbors say they haven't seen

00:29:24Mr. Young for days.

00:29:25Lucy stares at her phone screen.

00:29:27She calls that familiar number

00:29:28seventeen times.

00:29:30And every time,

00:29:31a cold voicemail responds.

00:29:33That evening,

00:29:34Lucy drives to our house alone.

00:29:36The windows are dark.

00:29:37She peeks through the vent.

00:29:39The living room is overly tidy.

00:29:41The floral cushions on the couch?

00:29:43Gone.

00:29:44Those were sewn by my mom.

00:29:45She used to call them tacky.

00:29:46The pot on the stove shines.

00:29:48Two chipped plates

00:29:49on the cabinet face each other.

00:29:51Neatly arranged.

00:29:52Everything is still here,

00:29:54but not me.

00:29:55Rain starts falling.

00:29:56Lucy leans against the door.

00:29:57Suddenly,

00:29:58she remembers her last time here.

00:30:00Scalding soup was spilled on my hand.

00:30:02She'd been so busy taking Shane's call

00:30:04that she didn't even ask if it hurt.

00:30:06Her phone vibrates.

00:30:07It's a voice message from Shane.

00:30:09Lucy, it hurts!

00:30:10I'm scared of being alone!

00:30:12Lucy stares at the message,

00:30:14then at the tightly shut door.

00:30:15Suddenly,

00:30:16she slams her hand on the door.

00:30:18The thud echoes through the night.

00:30:20Her hand aches,

00:30:21but the emptiness in her heart

00:30:23hurts more than the pain.

00:30:24Back at the villa,

00:30:25Shane is waiting in the living room.

00:30:27No news from Jay yet.

00:30:29He leans closer.

00:30:30If you ask me,

00:30:31he's just spoiled.

00:30:32Wait a few days.

00:30:33He'll be back when he runs out of money.

00:30:35Lucy says nothing.

00:30:36She remembered.

00:30:37My straightened back

00:30:38and the calm resolve

00:30:40in my eyes as I left.

00:30:42Will he really come back?

00:30:46Three days later,

00:30:47the sun is bright.

00:30:48The CFO bursts into the conference room,

00:30:50scattering files across the floor.

00:30:52He's as pale as a sheet of paper,

00:30:54his voice trembling.

00:30:55Miss Snow,

00:30:56Kent Group is pulling out.

00:30:57The air

00:30:58seems to freeze.

00:30:59The expressions of the shareholders present

00:31:01turn ashen.

00:31:02The notice from Kent Group

00:31:04arrives at 8 a.m.

00:31:06By 9 a.m.,

00:31:07three other investors have sent

00:31:08reassessment letters.

00:31:09They are in the inbox.

00:31:11Lucy's business empire built over 10 years

00:31:13is on the verge of collapse.

00:31:15Miss Snow,

00:31:15the largest shareholder,

00:31:17finally speaks.

00:31:18The tapping of his fingers on the table

00:31:19rings painfully in the silence.

00:31:21Kent Group is our most important partner.

00:31:24For 10 years,

00:31:25there's never been a problem.

00:31:26He looks up,

00:31:27his gaze sharp.

00:31:28What exactly have you done?

00:31:30Lucy tightens her grip on the pen.

00:31:32Her knuckles whitening.

00:31:33I'll ask Ms. Kent myself.

00:31:36What do you want to ask?

00:31:37The conference room door opens.

00:31:39Lily Kent stands at the entrance,

00:31:41wearing a sharply tailored black suit.

00:31:43Her presence is imposing.

00:31:45She ignores everyone,

00:31:46walks straight to Lucy,

00:31:48and gently places a document on the table.

00:31:51Her voice is low,

00:31:52but clear enough

00:31:53for everyone to hear.

00:31:55The 10-year investment

00:31:56wasn't because of you,

00:31:58Ms. Snow.

00:31:59You're not that capable.

00:32:01Lily pauses,

00:32:02scanning the room and the shareholders.

00:32:04Finally,

00:32:04she fixes her gaze on Lucy.

00:32:06It was because of Jace.

00:32:08Lucy's hand trembles.

00:32:10Her pen scratches a crooked line on the paper.

00:32:1310 years ago,

00:32:14he shielded my father,

00:32:15taking three stabs

00:32:17in an underground fight.

00:32:18Lily is calm.

00:32:20Eerily so.

00:32:21Each stab was deep.

00:32:23My father asked him what he wanted.

00:32:25In a pool of his own blood,

00:32:27he said he wanted to help his wife's business.

00:32:29In the room,

00:32:30gasps fill the air.

00:32:33All the investments over the past 10 years,

00:32:35including everyone here

00:32:37and all of Snow Group's partners,

00:32:39were secured with Jace's life.

00:32:42Lily's fingers dart past all the pale expressions.

00:32:45He just contacted us,

00:32:47saying the debts have been settled.

00:32:49August flips the document,

00:32:51revealing Kent Group's corporate seal.

00:32:53The ink is bright and dry.

00:32:55Lily turns and leaves.

00:32:56Her high heels strike the marble floor,

00:32:58and each steps seems to count down.

00:33:01The moment the door closes,

00:33:02the room erupts,

00:33:03with questions and table slamming,

00:33:05and some are even lifting their chairs.

00:33:07Lucy hears nothing.

00:33:08She only sees their mouths moving,

00:33:10and those furious faces.

00:33:1210 years ago,

00:33:13those same faces had respected her.

00:33:15Yet now,

00:33:16they want to rip her apart.

00:33:17So,

00:33:18she stands up suddenly,

00:33:20stumbling out of the conference room.

00:33:21The door slams shut behind her,

00:33:23and the world falls silent.

00:33:25Her hands shake as she pulls out of the phone,

00:33:28dialing the number she knows by heart.

00:33:29The number you've dialed

00:33:31is no longer in service,

00:33:33the cold, mechanical voice says.

00:33:34She tries for 10 times.

00:33:36She messages,

00:33:37but the red exclamation mark is glaring.

00:33:39She is blocked.

00:33:40The realization hits Lucy like a bucket of ice,

00:33:42drenching her.

00:33:43She frantically sifts through her contacts,

00:33:46prison guards,

00:33:46old neighbors,

00:33:47and even underground fight bosses.

00:33:49She calls one after another.

00:33:50Everyone gives her the same answer.

00:33:52I haven't seen him in ages.

00:33:53Jay?

00:33:54I don't know.

00:33:55Miss Snow,

00:33:56you should ask someone else.

00:33:58After the last call ends,

00:33:59the office door swings open.

00:34:02Shane stands there,

00:34:03pale as a ghost,

00:34:05holding a crumpled sheet of paper.

00:34:07Lucy.

00:34:08His voice trembles.

00:34:09Someone wants to kill me.

00:34:11Look at this letter.

00:34:12He hands it over.

00:34:14Printed on the paper is,

00:34:15blood for blood.

00:34:17It has to be Jace.

00:34:18Shane grabs her arm,

00:34:19his fingers cold.

00:34:21He hates me after his father's death.

00:34:23He wants revenge.

00:34:24Enough.

00:34:25Lucy yanks her arm free.

00:34:27Her phone slips from her hand,

00:34:29crashing to the floor.

00:34:30The screen shatters,

00:34:32destroying the silence.

00:34:33Shane stands frozen in place,

00:34:35looking as stiff as a statue.

00:34:37He's never seen Lucy like this.

00:34:39Her eyes are red,

00:34:40and her chest is heaving.

00:34:42She seems incredibly tense.

00:34:44Get out.

00:34:45Her voice is hoarse.

00:34:47Lucy?

00:34:47I...

00:34:48I said,

00:34:50get out!

00:34:50Lucy shouts,

00:34:52using all her strength.

00:34:53Shane stumbles back,

00:34:54then vanishes behind the door.

00:34:56It slams shut.

00:34:57Lucy slowly crouches down,

00:35:00picking up the shattered phone.

00:35:01Then,

00:35:02she covers her face,

00:35:03and her shoulders tremble.

00:35:05She finally gets what Lily meant.

00:35:07Without me,

00:35:08her company won't survive three days.

00:35:10Without me,

00:35:11Lucy's snow is nothing.

00:35:13The sun is bright,

00:35:14and the light pours through the window.

00:35:16It shines on her curled up form.

00:35:18It is so warm,

00:35:19but the warmth can't reach her heart.

00:35:21On the ground,

00:35:22through the cracks of the phone screen,

00:35:24the last failed message is still glaring.

00:35:26The suit is ready.

00:35:28When are you coming back?

00:35:30The bright red exclamation mark is like a chasm.

00:35:33It's one that she can never pass.

00:35:35Lucy searches the entire city,

00:35:37from weathered old homes in the old town,

00:35:39to a diner I used to bring her to often.

00:35:41The owner recognizes her,

00:35:43pauses,

00:35:44and shakes his head,

00:35:45saying I hadn't been there in ages.

00:35:46She even goes to the underground fight arena.

00:35:49Hidden in an abandoned factory,

00:35:51the air is thick with the scent

00:35:52of sweat and cigarette smoke.

00:35:55In her heels,

00:35:56she walks over the uneven concrete.

00:35:58Her expensive suit is out of place.

00:36:00The fight arena owner leans against the bar,

00:36:02a cigarette in his mouth.

00:36:03When he sees her,

00:36:04he is puzzled.

00:36:05Miss Snow,

00:36:06what a rare sight.

00:36:07Where's Jace?

00:36:08She ignores all the looks she's getting,

00:36:10asking in a dry voice.

00:36:12The owner smiles,

00:36:13his expression unreadable.

00:36:14You're asking me?

00:36:15Isn't he your man?

00:36:17How did you lose him?

00:36:18Tell me.

00:36:19She repeats,

00:36:20her nails digging into her palms.

00:36:22He stares at her silently,

00:36:24then raises a hand,

00:36:25pointing to the wall behind the bar.

00:36:28A yellowed photo hangs on the wall.

00:36:30In it,

00:36:31I look so young.

00:36:32I'm bare-chested!

00:36:33Covered in sweat and bruises.

00:36:35Blood still on my face,

00:36:36yet I'm smiling like a child.

00:36:38In my arms,

00:36:39I clutch a cheap trophy tightly.

00:36:41On the base of it,

00:36:42there's a string of crooked letters.

00:36:44$50,000

00:36:46for Lou's tuition.

00:36:48Lucy's breathing stops.

00:36:49She remembers that winter.

00:36:51The college tuition notice arrived at our house,

00:36:52and she hid under the blankets crying.

00:36:55I stayed silent all night.

00:36:57The next day,

00:36:58I disappeared for three days.

00:36:59When I returned,

00:37:00two ribs were broken,

00:37:01but I put the money down,

00:37:03stacking it neatly on the table.

00:37:04Where did you get this?

00:37:05She asked.

00:37:06I won a match.

00:37:07I grinned.

00:37:08The bruises on my lips still fresh.

00:37:10She believed me,

00:37:11taking it without hesitation,

00:37:13and not even asking if I was hurt.

00:37:15In all the years I've run this place,

00:37:16I've never seen anyone fight like him.

00:37:18He was like a wild beast,

00:37:20unafraid of death.

00:37:21The owner's voice pulls Lucy back to reality.

00:37:23He pauses.

00:37:24When I asked him why he fought so hard,

00:37:26he'd just grin with blood in his mouth,

00:37:27saying nothing.

00:37:28The last time he was here

00:37:29was the day of his release.

00:37:31The owner lights a cigarette,

00:37:33inhaling and exhaling,

00:37:34lost in thought.

00:37:35He told me.

00:37:36He'd stop fighting.

00:37:38I asked him what he wanted to do.

00:37:39He pauses.

00:37:40His gaze on Lucy.

00:37:42He said he wanted to relive life.

00:37:44To start a new one.

00:37:45Those words cut like a dull blade,

00:37:47slowly opening her up.

00:37:49Lucy collapses on the bar stool.

00:37:51All her strength drain.

00:37:53Then,

00:37:54she has a sudden thought,

00:37:55and rushes out of the arena.

00:37:57Dad is the only family I have left.

00:37:59He is in the hospital,

00:38:00so maybe I'm with him.

00:38:02With that in mind,

00:38:03Lucy's panicked heart

00:38:04finds a flicker of comfort.

00:38:06But when she opens the hospital door,

00:38:07she sees that dad's bed is empty.

00:38:10The blankets are neatly folded.

00:38:11She grabs a nurse,

00:38:12and asks nervously,

00:38:14Where's the patient here?

00:38:16Lucy doesn't know

00:38:17how she gets back to the office.

00:38:19On the elevator going up,

00:38:20the mirrored walls reflect her pale face.

00:38:23Her eyes are vacant,

00:38:24like an empty shell stripped of its soul.

00:38:27In her ears,

00:38:28the nurse's words repeat,

00:38:29calm to the point of cruelty.

00:38:30That old man had heart failure.

00:38:32Too much blood was drawn.

00:38:34They couldn't save him.

00:38:35His son was outside the OR,

00:38:36kneeling down all night.

00:38:38He's dead.

00:38:39My father.

00:38:40Who once put his life savings into her hands.

00:38:43Trembling as he said,

00:38:44Lucy,

00:38:44I'll support you.

00:38:45He's dead.

00:38:46He died where she'd consented for the blood draw.

00:38:48She recalls,

00:38:49The last time she saw me,

00:38:51I said to her,

00:38:52That it'd be the last time she called my name.

00:38:55She didn't understand then,

00:38:56but now,

00:38:57she does.

00:38:57I wasn't just angry.

00:38:59It was goodbye.

00:38:59And my silence in front of the police,

00:39:02and my obedience in prison,

00:39:03weren't accepted.

00:39:05It was me giving up.

00:39:06Lucy's fingers dig into her hair,

00:39:08her nails scraping her scalp.

00:39:11But that pain is nothing,

00:39:13compared to losing my family,

00:39:15or to the suffering dad endured at the end of his life.

00:39:18He's too weak.

00:39:19You can't take any more blood.

00:39:21The nurse's voice still rang in Lucy's ears,

00:39:23and what did she say back then?

00:39:24Draw more.

00:39:25It won't hurt him.

00:39:27Every word is now like a poisoned needle,

00:39:29piercing her heart sharply.

00:39:31Someone knocks gently on the door.

00:39:33The assistant looks in,

00:39:35pale.

00:39:35Miss Snow,

00:39:36there are two gentlemen here.

00:39:37They walk straight toward Lucy.

00:39:39A middle-aged man is in front.

00:39:40He pulls out his ID.

00:39:41His movements are precise,

00:39:43as if rehearsed.

00:39:44Miss Lucy Snow,

00:39:45we're from the FBI.

00:39:46The FBI badge shines under the dim light.

00:39:49On behalf of Agent Young,

00:39:51your divorce certificate.

00:39:52It's a green envelope.

00:39:53He places it on her desk.

00:39:55Lucy stares at it blankly,

00:39:57not reaching for it.

00:39:58Green.

00:39:58The green of that envelope.

00:40:00Compared to the memory of them getting married,

00:40:02reality feels unbelievably cruel.

00:40:04Then,

00:40:04the man retracts his ID.

00:40:06His voice is steady and calm.

00:40:08Agent Young performed excellently in prison.

00:40:10After investigation,

00:40:11he's joined our bureau.

00:40:11He entrusted us to inform you

00:40:13of the accidents you were in

00:40:14in the past years.

00:40:15The brake failure in September of 2021,

00:40:18the elevator malfunction in March 2022,

00:40:20and the electrical fire in your office.

00:40:22On January 2023,

00:40:24he discovered the potential risks in advance

00:40:25and notified us to prevent them.

00:40:27He pauses,

00:40:28as if reciting a memorized line,

00:40:30and continues.

00:40:31This counts as the last thing I do for her.

00:40:34In that instant,

00:40:35the world goes silent.

00:40:37All Lucy hears is a sharp ring in her ears,

00:40:39and that phrase keeps repeating itself.

00:40:41The last thing.

00:40:43She suddenly grabs the man's sleeve,

00:40:45her fingers icy cold.

00:40:46Where is he?

00:40:47Please tell me,

00:40:48where is he now?

00:40:49The man gently withdraws his arm.

00:40:51He does it lightly,

00:40:52but it carries an unquestionable finality.

00:40:55I'm sorry.

00:40:55He says.

00:40:56Classify.

00:40:57They turn and leave,

00:40:58their figures disappearing into the dim corridor,

00:41:00like a dream.

00:41:01She wakes up,

00:41:02leaving only the green envelope laying on the desk.

00:41:05Lucy stares at it for a long time,

00:41:07long enough for her eyes to ache.

00:41:08She desperately tries to call me,

00:41:10but the busy signal repeats,

00:41:12as if mocking her.

00:41:13Lucy freezes in place.

00:41:15The divorce certificate slips away,

00:41:16falling with a dull thud.

00:41:18Her heart seems to shatter with it.

00:41:20She slowly crouches,

00:41:21trying to pick it up,

00:41:22but her fingers are shaking too much.

00:41:24She tries to pick up.

00:41:25That thin envelope thrice.

00:41:26On the fourth try,

00:41:28she gives up,

00:41:28curling up and burying.

00:41:30Her face in her knees.

00:41:31A broken sound escapes her throat.

00:41:33It's a sob,

00:41:34stifled to the extreme.

00:41:35The photo in her hand crumples from her grip.

00:41:37In the old photo,

00:41:38the young me is still smiling.

00:41:40The smile is so bright,

00:41:41so powerful,

00:41:42as if I were using up all the light in my life.

00:41:45And now, crouched on the floor,

00:41:47Lily gets that light,

00:41:49that had once shone only for her,

00:41:51is gone forever.

00:41:53The fall of Snow Group only takes a week.

00:41:56There are stacks of withdrawal notices,

00:41:57and return slips flood in.

00:41:59The stock prices plummet,

00:42:01and banks call to demand repayment

00:42:02from morning to late at night.

00:42:04Lucy sat in her office,

00:42:06looking out the window,

00:42:07at the bustling city below.

00:42:08She feels a chill in her bones for the first time.

00:42:10On the fourth morning,

00:42:12an anonymous package

00:42:14appears on her desk.

00:42:15The paper bag is light.

00:42:17She opens it,

00:42:18finding only a black USB drive inside.

00:42:21She coldly plugs it into the computer.

00:42:23In it are three folders.

00:42:24The first is Shane's identity file.

00:42:27He isn't an orphan.

00:42:28His parents are alive,

00:42:29running a convenience store in another city.

00:42:32Under the spouse field,

00:42:33there's an unknown name.

00:42:34He's been married for five years,

00:42:36with a three-year-old daughter.

00:42:38Lily's breathing stops.

00:42:40She stares at the family photo,

00:42:42showing Shane holding the little girl.

00:42:44Beside him is a gentle-looking woman,

00:42:46and the three are smiling at an amusement park.

00:42:49The timestamp showed it was taken last Christmas,

00:42:51when he'd said he had to work late.

00:42:54She'd waited up for him,

00:42:56finally falling asleep on the office couch.

00:42:58In the second folder,

00:43:00are records of bank transfers.

00:43:02Over the past three years,

00:43:04from various branches of Snow Group,

00:43:06through various fees and project commissions,

00:43:08money flowed into 17 different accounts.

00:43:11In the end,

00:43:11it was consolidated into a private offshore account,

00:43:14totaling $84 million.

00:43:16The largest single transfer is $50 million,

00:43:18dated the day after my release.

00:43:21In the third folder,

00:43:22are audio files.

00:43:24Lucy clicks it open to a noisy background.

00:43:26Then comes Shane's voice.

00:43:28It isn't the gentle, familiar tone she knows,

00:43:30but one of mockery,

00:43:31tinged with some drunkenness.

00:43:32I tell you,

00:43:33that Lucy is so dumb it's cute.

00:43:35She really thinks I love her?

00:43:37She's just a woman who's been used.

00:43:39Lucy slams the pause button,

00:43:40her joints whitening,

00:43:41her fingers tremble on the mouse.

00:43:43After a few seconds,

00:43:43she presses play again.

00:43:45Jace's mother?

00:43:46Of course I ran into her on purpose.

00:43:48That old hag always ruins my plans.

00:43:50When his dad's blood was being drawn,

00:43:52I made sure to say a few words.

00:43:54I called his son a loser.

00:43:55Yes, the dog fighting underground.

00:43:57And that the company is mine now.

00:43:59The old man was raging.

00:44:01His heart rate went crazy.

00:44:03He laughs.

00:44:04When Jace almost died fighting,

00:44:06I bribed his opponent.

00:44:08It's a pity he's so tough.

00:44:09The audio goes on,

00:44:11detailing every scheme,

00:44:12every plot,

00:44:13every word,

00:44:13feels like poison.

00:44:15Seeping into Lucy's ears,

00:44:17she sits frozen in her chair,

00:44:18her body stiffening up.

00:44:20For ten years,

00:44:21because of this man,

00:44:22she's pushed me away,

00:44:23ignored her father,

00:44:24and killed my father.

00:44:26The love she believes in

00:44:27is nothing but a meticulously designed lie.

00:44:30The devotion she offers

00:44:31is a joke in his eyes.

00:44:33The empire she hands over

00:44:34is nothing but a stepping stone to him.

00:44:37A glow of the computer screen

00:44:38shines on her face,

00:44:39ashen and pale.

00:44:40She clutches her chest,

00:44:42but it feels empty.

00:44:43It's as if someone had gouged a piece out.

00:44:46She realizes that delayed regret

00:44:47can hurt so much,

00:44:49it leaves her speechless.

00:44:50When Lucy finds Shane,

00:44:52he's in the villa's basement,

00:44:54counting his luggage.

00:44:55Lucy, what are you doing here?

00:44:58Shane turns around,

00:44:59and his face instantly adopts

00:45:01that same innocent expression.

00:45:03Where are you going?

00:45:05Lucy's tone is eerily calm.

00:45:07I was thinking of going abroad

00:45:09to clear my mind.

00:45:10Then bring your wife and kid with you.

00:45:13She slams the files in her hand

00:45:14onto his face.

00:45:17Papers scatter across the floor,

00:45:18and a family photo flutters out,

00:45:21landing at his feet.

00:45:22Shane looks down,

00:45:24stunned for a moment.

00:45:26Then he picks up the photo

00:45:27and smiles.

00:45:28The smile is full of mockery.

00:45:31He shrugs.

00:45:32So, you know,

00:45:33I guess you're not too stupid.

00:45:34Why?

00:45:35Lucy hears her own voice trembling.

00:45:38Why?

00:45:39Shane looks amused,

00:45:40as if he's heard a hilarious joke.

00:45:42Lucy,

00:45:43you should ask yourself that.

00:45:45Other than that idiot, Jace,

00:45:47who could ever put up with you?

00:45:49He steps closer,

00:45:50looking down at her for the first time.

00:45:52His gaze is arrogant,

00:45:53as if no one matters but himself.

00:45:56You really think I love you?

00:45:58I got close to you for the money.

00:46:00I didn't expect you to be so gullible.

00:46:03Jace fought for this empire with his life,

00:46:05but you handed it to me without a thought.

00:46:08It almost makes me feel sorry for you.

00:46:10Lucy slaps him across the face.

00:46:12The crisp sound echoes through the empty basement.

00:46:16Shane turns his head,

00:46:18his gaze turning vicious.

00:46:20What?

00:46:20Regretting it now?

00:46:21Too bad.

00:46:22Jace will never want you again.

00:46:24What were you doing when his father died?

00:46:26You were peeling apples for me,

00:46:28by my bed.

00:46:28He leans close to Lucy's ear,

00:46:30his voice low.

00:46:31There's something else.

00:46:32In Jace's last underground fight,

00:46:34why do you think he broke three ribs?

00:46:36I had someone slip something into his water

00:46:38that match.

00:46:39I was hoping he'd die there.

00:46:41Too bad.

00:46:42Before he finishes,

00:46:43the basement door slams open.

00:46:45Four men in black hoods rush in.

00:46:48Swift as the wind,

00:46:49Shane doesn't even have time to cry out,

00:46:52before they twist his arms behind his back.

00:46:54Who are you?

00:46:55Let me go!

00:46:56Lucy!

00:46:56Lucy, save me!

00:46:58Lucy stands there,

00:46:59motionlessly.

00:47:00She doesn't ask any questions,

00:47:01nor does she resist.

00:47:03She's taken along.

00:47:04The arena is brightly lit,

00:47:05yet completely empty.

00:47:07All four spotlights blaze,

00:47:09lighting up the ring brightly.

00:47:11Shane is dragged onto the stage.

00:47:13Lucy is taken to the front row of the stands.

00:47:16Two men stand behind her,

00:47:17silent and unmoving.

00:47:19From the speakers come the arena owner's voice.

00:47:21Miss Snow,

00:47:22Jace left a message before he left,

00:47:24he said.

00:47:25Every debt owed to him

00:47:26would be repaid in full.

00:47:28In the ring,

00:47:28the men start beating Shane.

00:47:30The blows are raw and filled with hate.

00:47:32The dull thud of fists hitting flesh,

00:47:35and the sharp crack of breaking bones,

00:47:37on top of Shane's screams,

00:47:38echo through the arena.

00:47:40Lucy, save me!

00:47:42I was wrong!

00:47:44He reaches toward her,

00:47:45fingers spread,

00:47:47face bloodied.

00:47:48As Lucy watches Shane,

00:47:50she recalls the time my ribs were broken.

00:47:52At the hospital,

00:47:53I was in the same position,

00:47:55reaching out to her,

00:47:56but because of one call from Shane,

00:47:58she walked away.

00:47:59Continue,

00:48:00she says.

00:48:01Her voice isn't loud,

00:48:02but it carries clearly to the ring.

00:48:04The beating goes on for a long time,

00:48:06so long that Shane screams,

00:48:07turn into whimpers,

00:48:08and finally into broken gasps.

00:48:11When the men stop,

00:48:12he lies on the ring limply,

00:48:15his limbs twisting at unnatural angles.

00:48:17The speaker is heard again.

00:48:18Jace said that.

00:48:19He wouldn't dirty his own hands,

00:48:21but someone had to collect the debt.

00:48:23This man,

00:48:24the owner pauses,

00:48:26will be sent to the police station.

00:48:27The charges are embezzlement and attempted murder.

00:48:31As for how long he survives prison,

00:48:33that's up to fate.

00:48:34The men drag Shane away,

00:48:35like he were a sack of trash.

00:48:37They disappear into the back corridor.

00:48:39The lights go out,

00:48:39one by one,

00:48:40until only a single dim lamp.

00:48:42Above the stands remains,

00:48:43casting its glow,

00:48:44on Lucy's solitary figure.

00:48:46She sits there,

00:48:47watching the red stain on the ring.

00:48:49Suddenly she laughs.

00:48:50So this is her punishment,

00:48:52to watch the illusion she once loved,

00:48:54be torn apart.

00:48:54Yet the one she should have cherished,

00:48:57she'd already pushed too far.

00:48:59At a rehab center in Lund,

00:49:01my left hand is strapped to a device,

00:49:04sweat beads on my forehead.

00:49:06Good.

00:49:07Hold for ten more seconds.

00:49:09The blonde therapist encourages me.

00:49:11Three seconds later,

00:49:12the device beeps,

00:49:13done.

00:49:14The therapist unstraps me,

00:49:16and checks my wrist.

00:49:18You're healing faster than expected,

00:49:20Mr. Young.

00:49:21You're the toughest patient I've seen.

00:49:23I wipe my sweat with a towel.

00:49:25When will my grip return?

00:49:27You need at least another two months.

00:49:29The therapist looks at me.

00:49:31But with your rate of recovery,

00:49:33maybe sooner.

00:49:34It has to be sooner.

00:49:36The FBI's training schedule,

00:49:38is already packed.

00:49:39Mornings are for combat,

00:49:40and shooting.

00:49:41Afternoons are for languages,

00:49:43and intel analysis.

00:49:44Evenings are for social cover,

00:49:46and psychological drills.

00:49:47I train eighteen hours a day,

00:49:49and sleep is cut down to four hours.

00:49:51I asked for this.

00:49:53I need to stay busy.

00:49:55Too busy to think about the past.

00:49:57That evening,

00:49:58I meet Lily at a cafe in a corner.

00:50:00She sits by the window,

00:50:03her coffee already cold.

00:50:05When she sees me,

00:50:06her eyes light up,

00:50:08but they quickly dim.

00:50:10How's your hand?

00:50:11She asks.

00:50:12It's alright.

00:50:13I sit down.

00:50:14The waiter brings my usual dark coffee.

00:50:17No sugar or milk.

00:50:19Just pure bitterness.

00:50:21Lily looks at me.

00:50:22We haven't met in three months.

00:50:24I lost a lot of weight.

00:50:26Even my jawline is sharper.

00:50:27I heard about Snow Group.

00:50:29She seems to regret it.

00:50:31I keep stirring my coffee,

00:50:33not pausing.

00:50:34Not my problem.

00:50:35I say.

00:50:36Those words are spoken lightly,

00:50:38but carry a heavy weight to them.

00:50:40Lily parts her lips,

00:50:42like she wants to speak.

00:50:43In the end,

00:50:43she lowers her head,

00:50:44and sips her cold coffee.

00:50:46Jay.

00:50:47Lily looks up,

00:50:48her fingers tracing the rim of the cup.

00:50:51All these years,

00:50:52I've always...

00:50:53Lily.

00:50:54I cut her off.

00:50:55I meet her gaze.

00:50:56Do you know what I'm about to do?

00:50:59It's a dangerous mission,

00:51:01one that can kill me.

00:51:03I smile,

00:51:04but the smile is faint,

00:51:05never reaching my eyes.

00:51:07Three years undercover.

00:51:08If I'm exposed,

00:51:10my identity is erased.

00:51:12There won't even be a body.

00:51:14Lily's eyes redden,

00:51:15but she stubbornly refuses to blink.

00:51:18I'm scared.

00:51:20My voice drops.

00:51:21I'm scared of holding you back.

00:51:23A long silence stretches between us.

00:51:26She picks up a napkin,

00:51:27and gently wipes her tears.

00:51:29Then,

00:51:30she looks up,

00:51:31forcing a smile.

00:51:33What if you come back alive?

00:51:35I look out the window.

00:51:37I suddenly think back to years ago.

00:51:39It was also a rainy day.

00:51:40That girl stepped under my umbrella,

00:51:42looping her arm through mine.

00:51:44Jay,

00:51:45let's be together forever.

00:51:48Back then,

00:51:49the rain was warm,

00:51:49full of youth,

00:51:50and dreams of the future.

00:51:52Now the rain feels cold,

00:51:53like my heart.

00:51:55If I make it back alive,

00:51:56I turn around,

00:51:57looking at Lily's reddened eyes.

00:52:00Then,

00:52:00I say softly,

00:52:01Then,

00:52:01we give it a shot.

00:52:02Lily's tears finally fall,

00:52:04but she smiles.

00:52:05She smiles like the sky after the rain.

00:52:08Three years later,

00:52:09at a closed-door ceremony in the capital,

00:52:11I'm wearing a crisp uniform,

00:52:13with medals covering my chest.

00:52:15I'm thinner than before,

00:52:16but my gaze is razor sharp.

00:52:18My left hand is fully healed.

00:52:20Agent Young,

00:52:21the director pins on my final medal,

00:52:24codename Deep Dive.

00:52:25Three years undercover,

00:52:27I dismantled an international cartel,

00:52:29seizing drugs worth $1.7 billion,

00:52:31and rescuing 83 trafficking victims.

00:52:33I'm awarded first-class merits.

00:52:35Applause erupts.

00:52:36There are few people in the hall,

00:52:38and all of them are internal staff,

00:52:39but every clap is firm and solemn.

00:52:42I stand tall and salute them.

00:52:43The ceremony ends.

00:52:45I walk out the building,

00:52:46and in the corner of the parking lot,

00:52:47a flash of red stands out in the night.

00:52:50Lily stands there,

00:52:51wearing a long red dress.

00:52:53Her hair is loosely pinned up,

00:52:55and she looks stunning.

00:52:56When she sees me,

00:52:57her eyes light up.

00:52:58Congratulations!

00:52:59She walks toward me,

00:53:01smiling as she speaks,

00:53:02but her eyes are red.

00:53:04I look at her.

00:53:05Thank you for tending

00:53:06to my dad's grave in my absence.

00:53:09Lily shakes her head.

00:53:11He's like my own father.

00:53:13She pauses,

00:53:14then takes out an envelope from her purse.

00:53:17The edges are worn.

00:53:19It's clear she's had it for a while.

00:53:21Jay,

00:53:22do you remember what you said in Lund?

00:53:24I nod.

00:53:26Lily hands me the envelope,

00:53:27her fingers trembling.

00:53:28I have transferred 51% of Kent Group's shares to you.

00:53:36I don't take it,

00:53:37looking at the envelope,

00:53:38before gazing into Lily's eyes.

00:53:42Her gaze holds hope,

00:53:45nervousness,

00:53:46and some fear of rejection.

00:53:48I don't want it.

00:53:50I push the envelope back.

00:53:52Why?

00:53:53Lily panicked,

00:53:54and her voice chokes up.

00:53:56I'm giving this willingly.

00:53:58Lily.

00:53:59I hold her hands.

00:54:01They are cold,

00:54:02shaking in the fall night.

00:54:05If I wanted money,

00:54:06I wouldn't have left three years ago.

00:54:10I pause.

00:54:11Then my voice softens,

00:54:13as if I'm calming a scared child.

00:54:15But what I promised you,

00:54:17it still stands.

00:54:19Lily looks up quickly.

00:54:21Her eyes well up with tears.

00:54:23Really?

00:54:24She asks.

00:54:25Her voice barely a whisper.

00:54:27Yes.

00:54:28I raise my hand,

00:54:29wiping away her tears with my thumb.

00:54:31Keep the shares.

00:54:33I don't need them.

00:54:35Lily throws herself into my arms.

00:54:37Her body's shaking as she cries.

00:54:41These past three years,

00:54:42Lucy has lived in hell.

00:54:44A bankrupt company,

00:54:45liquidated assets,

00:54:46and an auctioned villa.

00:54:47She fell from a billionaire CEO

00:54:49to a disgraced debtor.

00:54:52All of it starts

00:54:53when she lost me.

00:54:54She searched for three years

00:54:56until she saw the news.

00:54:57She sees a photo of hero agent Jace Young.

00:55:00She sneaks into the venue,

00:55:01staring at me.

00:55:02I look radiant and untouchable.

00:55:04Her heart twists in pain.

00:55:05That was her J.

00:55:06But not anymore.

00:55:08After the interview ends,

00:55:09Lily walks onto the stage.

00:55:10In front of all the media,

00:55:12she kisses my cheek,

00:55:14and the crowd erupts in cheers.

00:55:16Lucy snapped.

00:55:18Rushing on stage,

00:55:19under stunned gazes,

00:55:21she grabs my hand.

00:55:23J, it's me.

00:55:26I was wrong.

00:55:28It was all my fault.

00:55:30Please come back to me.

00:55:32I pull my hand away,

00:55:33maintaining a calm gaze.

00:55:35Miss, you have the wrong person.

00:55:37No.

00:55:38And have left deep lines on her face.

00:56:09She was once so dazzling.

00:56:10It was ten years.

00:56:12For ten years,

00:56:13I fought underground for you.

00:56:14I served five years in prison.

00:56:16In the end,

00:56:17I even lost my father.

00:56:19I stepped forward,

00:56:20my voice calm,

00:56:22but every word cuts deep.

00:56:23Lucy,

00:56:24how many chances did I give you?

00:56:27Shane killed my mother.

00:56:30And you said it was an accident.

00:56:32He took everything from me.

00:56:34And you said he deserved it.

00:56:36When he tortured my dad,

00:56:38you called it a misunderstanding.

00:56:40He took my dad's blood.

00:56:42Because you said he needed it.

00:56:44I look at her pale face.

00:56:46Saying softly,

00:56:48tell me.

00:56:48Tell me now.

00:56:50How should I be treating you?

00:56:52Lucy collapses to the floor,

00:56:54speechless.

00:56:55Security drags her away.

00:56:57I straighten my collar

00:56:57and give the audience

00:56:58an apologetic smile.

00:57:00Sorry for the small interruption.

00:57:02I take Lily's hand

00:57:03and leave the venue,

00:57:05not once looking back.

00:57:07On All Souls Day,

00:57:09the rain falls,

00:57:10holding a black umbrella.

00:57:11I hold Lily's hand

00:57:13with my other.

00:57:13We're on a familiar path,

00:57:15walking upward.

00:57:16From afar,

00:57:17I see a figure kneeling

00:57:19before dad's grave.

00:57:21It is Lucy.

00:57:22She's wearing

00:57:23a faded old coat.

00:57:25Her hair is soaked,

00:57:26with strands clinging to her face.

00:57:28Hearing our steps,

00:57:30she turns around.

00:57:31Her eyes are swollen red.

00:57:33Jay.

00:57:34She scrambles to her feet,

00:57:36her voice hoarse.

00:57:37I knew it.

00:57:38I knew you'd come.

00:57:41I don't look at her.

00:57:43I walk to the headstone

00:57:44and gently place

00:57:45a bouquet of flowers.

00:57:47Rain slides off the petals.

00:57:49I kneel down,

00:57:50kissing the cold stone

00:57:52and offering my prayers.

00:57:54Lily kneels too,

00:57:56showing her respect.

00:57:57Dad.

00:57:58I brush the rain off the stone,

00:58:01my voice soft.

00:58:03I've come to see you.

00:58:04This is Lily,

00:58:06your daughter-in-law.

00:58:08She treats me very well.

00:58:10Lily tightens her grip on me,

00:58:12and our fingers intertwine.

00:58:15Jay.

00:58:16Lucy rushes over,

00:58:17grabbing my arm.

00:58:18You can't marry her.

00:58:20I'm your wife.

00:58:22We spent ten years together.

00:58:25Ten years of love.

00:58:26I slowly stand up,

00:58:28pulling my arm free.

00:58:29I look at Lucy,

00:58:31my gaze cold as the rain.

00:58:33Lucy,

00:58:34do you even deserve

00:58:35to mention those years?

00:58:37I take a step forward,

00:58:38and Lucy instinctively steps back.

00:58:40In those ten years,

00:58:41I broke my ribs three times.

00:58:43My left wrist was fractured,

00:58:44and I had 28 stitches on my back.

00:58:46Have you ever thought about it?

00:58:49With every word I speak,

00:58:51I step closer.

00:58:52Lucy retreats until she can't anymore.

00:58:54Her back presses against the headstone.

00:58:56When my ribs broke,

00:58:58you were celebrating Shane's birthday.

00:59:01When my wrist fractured,

00:59:03you were picking out his tie.

00:59:06When my father was hospitalized from torture,

00:59:08I pointed at the ground beneath us.

00:59:10You were drawing his blood.

00:59:12To save the man who ran over my mother.

00:59:15I laugh.

00:59:16It's a hollow laugh.

00:59:18And now that you have nothing,

00:59:20you finally remember me.

00:59:22Lucy shakes her head desperately,

00:59:24tears mixing with the rain.

00:59:26Jay,

00:59:27I love you.

00:59:28I've always loved you.

00:59:30I was just tricked by Shane.

00:59:32I was blinded by him.

00:59:34I cut her off,

00:59:36my tone suddenly sharp.

00:59:38Did I force you to trust him?

00:59:40Were you ever forced to hurt me?

00:59:43Did I put a gun to your head,

00:59:45making you give my father's life to him?

00:59:49Lucy freezes,

00:59:50her lips trembling,

00:59:52unable to speak.

00:59:53Lucy,

00:59:54you were never deceived.

00:59:56My voice drops again,

00:59:57as I utter,

00:59:59You're selfish.

01:00:00You craved my sacrifices,

01:00:03yet felt that I was beneath you.

01:00:05You needed my protection,

01:00:07but liked how innocent Shane was.

01:00:10You wanted everything,

01:00:11but cherished nothing.

01:00:14Now that you've lost it all,

01:00:16you finally feel pain.

01:00:18But your pain,

01:00:20compared to what I had to endure,

01:00:22is nothing.

01:00:24Lucy collapses to the ground,

01:00:26rain soaking her pants.

01:00:28She tilts her head up,

01:00:29looking at me,

01:00:30the man who once held her so tenderly.

01:00:33Now I'm looking at her like she's a stranger.

01:00:35Jay,

01:00:36I regret it.

01:00:38She cries with despair,

01:00:40her fingers clawing into the soil.

01:00:42I really do regret it.

01:00:43Just give me one more chance.

01:00:46Just one.

01:00:47I beg you.

01:00:49I turn away,

01:00:50taking Lily's hand again.

01:00:52Let's go.

01:00:53Jay?

01:00:54Her desperate cries echo through the empty cemetery.

01:00:57I hold the umbrella,

01:00:58as I walk down the steps with Lily.

01:01:00I never look back,

01:01:01not once.

01:01:04Snow Group goes bankrupt.

01:01:06On liquidation day,

01:01:07Lucy sits outside the creditor's meeting room.

01:01:09She's there all day,

01:01:10signing document after document,

01:01:12transferring shares and auction assets,

01:01:14and confirming debts.

01:01:15She feels numb,

01:01:16signing mechanically,

01:01:17and giving her thumbprints.

01:01:18She sells everything possible.

01:01:20Jewelry,

01:01:21designer bags,

01:01:22limited edition heels,

01:01:23and even that yacht,

01:01:24which had gotten such attention.

01:01:26She had bought it for Shane at $50 million.

01:01:28She had given it to him for his birthday.

01:01:30Now the money she gets

01:01:31just covers the debts.

01:01:33When she walks out of court,

01:01:34all she has is an outdated suit

01:01:36and an old wallet with $32 inside.

01:01:40With nowhere to go,

01:01:42she stands on the street,

01:01:43watching the endless traffic.

01:01:44For the first time,

01:01:45the city feels unfamiliar.

01:01:47Ten years,

01:01:48she'd built a business empire here,

01:01:50and now she loses everything.

01:01:52In the end,

01:01:52she remembers the old house.

01:01:54She despised it as shabby

01:01:55and wanted to tear it down

01:01:57to build a waste incinerator.

01:01:58The keys are long lost.

01:01:59She climbs over the wall

01:02:00and twists her ankle as she lands.

01:02:02Gasping in pain,

01:02:03she limps to the door

01:02:05and pushes it.

01:02:06It isn't locked.

01:02:07Everything is the same as three years ago.

01:02:10The rusty pot on the stove,

01:02:11the peeling wooden table,

01:02:13the pile of old newspapers,

01:02:15even that drawing of that crooked sun

01:02:17on the wall.

01:02:18She walks over,

01:02:20reaching out to touch the faded lines.

01:02:22The moment she touches them,

01:02:24memories rush back.

01:02:25It was freezing that winter.

01:02:27The heater was broken,

01:02:28so she and I squeezed onto the couch,

01:02:30sharing the same blanket.

01:02:32She shivered from the cold,

01:02:33so I slipped her hand into my chest,

01:02:35warming it.

01:02:37Lou,

01:02:38when I have money,

01:02:39I'll buy you a big house,

01:02:41I said.

01:02:42My breath puffed out,

01:02:43disappearing into the cold air.

01:02:45I don't want a big house,

01:02:47she leaned on my shoulder.

01:02:49I want you to stay with me forever.

01:02:51Let's draw a sun on the wall.

01:02:53Let's fill the house with them.

01:02:55Then,

01:02:56even in winter,

01:02:57our hearts will stay warm.

01:02:59I held her hand,

01:03:01teaching her slowly.

01:03:02The sunlight from outside

01:03:03streamed through the window,

01:03:05casting a golden light on my lashes.

01:03:07She looked at my face from the side,

01:03:09thinking that this life was enough.

01:03:11It was pretty good.

01:03:12When did it all change?

01:03:14It was when Lucy got her first investment.

01:03:16At the cocktail party,

01:03:17amid the clinking glasses,

01:03:19she met Shane.

01:03:20She heard him praise her,

01:03:22for being young and promising.

01:03:23It was the first time she said to me,

01:03:25Shane needs this position more.

01:03:27Wait a little longer.

01:03:28That was when,

01:03:30she didn't realize.

01:03:32By the time she finally looked back,

01:03:34she'd have no one behind her anymore.

01:03:36She personally pushed me away.

01:03:38Once,

01:03:39twice,

01:03:39countless times.

01:03:40In the end,

01:03:41I got tired,

01:03:42and I left.

01:03:43Never to come back.

01:03:44Lucy curls up in the corner,

01:03:46holding her knees,

01:03:47and burying her face in her arms.

01:03:49She should cry,

01:03:50but her eyes sting,

01:03:51and feel dry.

01:03:52Not a single tear falls.

01:03:53The delayed regret,

01:03:54is like a dull knife,

01:03:56stabbing her heart,

01:03:56over and over.

01:03:57It's not fatal,

01:03:58but it hurts so much,

01:03:59she can't breathe.

01:04:00She finally understands it.

01:04:02How,

01:04:02before I left,

01:04:03I said,

01:04:03We're even.

01:04:04I gave her the house,

01:04:0610 years of my youth,

01:04:07and even my father's life.

01:04:09Then,

01:04:09I leave her cleanly.

01:04:11Not even hating her anymore,

01:04:12I leave her alone.

01:04:14In this ruin full of memories,

01:04:16guarding the sun,

01:04:16that will never smile,

01:04:17for the remainder of her life.

01:04:19My wedding with Lily,

01:04:20is set for fall in Lund.

01:04:22She picks out the church.

01:04:23It's an 800 year old building.

01:04:26The stained glass depicts stories,

01:04:28from history.

01:04:29When sunlight streams through,

01:04:30it casts colorful patterns,

01:04:32on the floor.

01:04:32One hour before the wedding,

01:04:34Lily is in the makeup room,

01:04:35putting on her wedding dress.

01:04:37She looks stunning in the mirror,

01:04:39but she's frowning slightly.

01:04:40Her phone vibrates.

01:04:42She picks it up and sees,

01:04:43a message from an unknown number.

01:04:45The message says,

01:04:46Lucy Snow arrived,

01:04:47at Lund International Airport today.

01:04:49On the way to the city,

01:04:50she was in an accident.

01:04:52Both legs were amputated.

01:04:53She's now at Meryl Hospital's ICU,

01:04:55in critical condition.

01:04:57Lily's fingers freeze over the screen.

01:04:59The makeup artist quietly asks,

01:05:01What's wrong?

01:05:02Nothing.

01:05:03She puts the phone down.

01:05:05She takes a deep breath,

01:05:06lifts her dress,

01:05:06and walks out of the room.

01:05:08In the groom's waiting room,

01:05:09I adjust my cuffs.

01:05:11The black suit highlights my figure well.

01:05:14Coupled with my calm gaze,

01:05:15I hold attention.

01:05:16Jay.

01:05:17Lily pushes open the door.

01:05:18When I look up and see her,

01:05:19my eyes light up.

01:05:21What is it?

01:05:23It's Lucy.

01:05:24Lily's voice is soft.

01:05:26She's in Lune,

01:05:27but had an accident on the way.

01:05:28Her legs are amputated,

01:05:29and she's currently in the ICU.

01:05:32My hand freezes,

01:05:32but just for a second.

01:05:34Only a second.

01:05:36Then,

01:05:36I continue fastening my cufflinks.

01:05:38My voice is calm and steady.

01:05:40Don't let someone unrelated affect our wedding.

01:05:43You.

01:05:43Lily looks at me.

01:05:45Aren't you going to see her?

01:05:46I turn around,

01:05:47walk toward her,

01:05:48and take her hand.

01:05:50My palm is warm and dry,

01:05:52firmly wrapping around hers.

01:05:53Lily.

01:05:54I look at her.

01:05:55My gaze gentle,

01:05:56but resolute.

01:05:57Today is our wedding day.

01:05:59My past is in the past.

01:06:01I pause,

01:06:02uttering,

01:06:03but my future,

01:06:05that's with you.

01:06:07Lily's eyes redden,

01:06:08and she nods hard.

01:06:09The wedding begins on time.

01:06:11The organ plays the wedding march,

01:06:13with solemn,

01:06:14heavy notes

01:06:14that echo within the church.

01:06:16I stand at the altar,

01:06:18watching Lily,

01:06:19arm in arm with her father,

01:06:20walk step by step toward me.

01:06:22Her white gown is long,

01:06:23and under the veil,

01:06:23she looks stunning.

01:06:25Sunlight streams through the stained glass,

01:06:27casting a colorful light on her,

01:06:28as if she were glowing from within.

01:06:31Suddenly,

01:06:31I remember many years ago,

01:06:33I once imagined a wedding like this.

01:06:35The bride in white was smiling at me,

01:06:38and I'd imagined it to be Lucy,

01:06:40but she'd shattered all those dreams herself.

01:06:42Now,

01:06:43I have a new beginning.

01:06:45Lily reaches me,

01:06:46and her father places her hand in mine.

01:06:48The moment our hands meet,

01:06:50I feel a long lost sense of peace.

01:06:53The priest reads the vows.

01:06:55Chase,

01:06:55do you take Lily to be your wife?

01:06:58To love and honor her in good times,

01:07:00and in bad,

01:07:01in wealth or in poverty,

01:07:02in sickness and in health,

01:07:04to protect her until the end of your life.

01:07:06I look into Lily's eyes,

01:07:07and I see my reflection mirrored there.

01:07:09I do.

01:07:11At the same time,

01:07:12in the ICU of Merrill Hospital,

01:07:14Lucy lies on a hospital bed,

01:07:16her body covered in tubes.

01:07:17The anesthesia wears off,

01:07:19and unimaginable pain tears through her legs.

01:07:22Even though they're already gone,

01:07:24only thick gauze remains,

01:07:25seeping in dark red blood.

01:07:27Her mind is hazy,

01:07:28but she struggles to turn her head.

01:07:29There is a TV on the wall.

01:07:31It is playing softly,

01:07:33showing the midday news.

01:07:35The screen switches to a wedding update.

01:07:37The camera sweeps across the ancient church.

01:07:40Guests fill the halls,

01:07:41and flowers cover the steps.

01:07:42Then,

01:07:43she sees me in a black suit,

01:07:45standing at the altar.

01:07:46Lily walks toward me in white,

01:07:48looking beautiful.

01:07:49The camera zooms in.

01:07:50She watches as I place the ring on Lily's finger,

01:07:53sees us smile at each other,

01:07:54and witnesses me kiss her.

01:07:56That smile is something she's never given me.

01:07:58It is so relaxed,

01:07:59and so happy.

01:08:00My eyes sparkle,

01:08:02while tears blur her vision.

01:08:03Lucy parts her lips,

01:08:05and a sound escapes her throat.

01:08:07The nurse notices something is wrong,

01:08:09and rushes over.

01:08:10You're awake.

01:08:11Don't move.

01:08:12You're recovering.

01:08:13Lucy doesn't hear the nurse.

01:08:14Her eyes are staring fixedly at the TV,

01:08:17at the man,

01:08:17who was once hers,

01:08:19but is now holding someone else's hand,

01:08:21vowing a lifetime together,

01:08:22summoning the last of her strength.

01:08:24Her lips tremble slightly.

01:08:26By the bed,

01:08:26the nurse bends down,

01:08:28pressing her ear close,

01:08:29and barely hears Lucy whisper,

01:08:31Jay,

01:08:32if there's a next life,

01:08:34let me be the one who loves you.

01:08:36The heart monitor lets out a long,

01:08:38piercing alarm.

01:08:39The green wave on the screen,

01:08:41thrashes violently,

01:08:42before it flattens into a straight line.

01:08:44Doctor!

01:08:45The nurse rushes out,

01:08:47shouting.

01:08:47Silence returns to the room,

01:08:49with only the TV still showing.

01:08:50The laughter and joy of the wedding,

01:08:52accompanied by the thunderous applause.

01:08:54The camera freezes on the newlyweds' embrace and kiss.

01:08:57I close my eyes,

01:08:58kissing Lily with reverence,

01:09:00as if I were bidding farewell to the past,

01:09:01and welcoming the future.

01:09:03Outside,

01:09:03the sky overlooned is washed in blue.

01:09:05The church bells ring,

01:09:07one after another,

01:09:08long and solemnly.

01:09:10Two worlds,

01:09:10a lifetime of mistakes.

01:09:12And we'll see you next time.
