00:42:25Get these ingredients according to the formula and try making it into a bomb.
00:42:29Mm-hmm. Will do.
00:42:39The medicine is ready.
00:42:53Oh, wow, Sophia. Your nose is truly miraculous.
00:42:57The bomb made from this formula is identical to the rare heirloom in every single way.
00:43:06Miss Sterling, you have such great talent. You shouldn't let it go to waste.
00:43:13Well, I'll give it a try.
00:43:18Perfumer.
00:43:20Am I finally going to have a decent career?
00:43:26Well, look who it is, Mrs. Whitmore herself.
00:43:29What, carrying groceries?
00:43:31So you married into money just to be a cook?
00:43:34Sophia, being a wealthy madame is simply not something a low-class person like you can handle.
00:43:40If you ask me, you should just apologize to my father.
00:43:43I can still take you back.
00:43:44I'll find you a real job.
00:43:46We can live a stable life together.
00:43:47What's so bad about that?
00:43:54Eric, I want to find a more stable job.
00:43:57Street vending pays well, but the income is too inconsistent.
00:44:01When it rains, there isn't even a single customer.
00:44:03You have no skills and no degree.
00:44:05Who'd even want to hire someone like you?
00:44:07Just be happy you can make a living with a stall.
00:44:10Stop dreaming about things all day long.
00:44:12Don't need it.
00:44:13You bitch.
00:44:15You just married a rich man.
00:44:16Look at you, acting so smug.
00:44:18Watch out.
00:44:19If he goes bankrupt one day, you'll end up begging for scraps with him.
00:44:23Since you're so concerned about my husband's career, why don't you ask him yourself at his office?
00:44:30Sophia, don't be ungrateful.
00:44:32The job I'm offering you is something you could never get on your own.
00:44:36A perfume counter-associate.
00:44:38Don't you like perfume?
00:44:39There are high-end perfumes you've never even seen.
00:44:42So, I should be thanking you.
00:44:45I'll earn whatever I want for myself.
00:44:47I don't need anything from you, Eric.
00:44:49Keep pretending, Sophia.
00:44:51Let's see how long you can keep this up.
00:44:52To work as a sales associate, you need to have a degree.
00:44:55You think you can get in on your own?
00:44:58Well, we'll see about that.
00:45:09As soon as you got back today, you locked yourself in the study.
00:45:13What are you looking at?
00:45:14Today at Monroe's Clinic, I ran into Victoria Sinclair, the president of the Perfumers Association.
00:45:20She said,
00:45:21I can identify the raw ingredients from complex fragrance blends and have the talent to be a perfumer.
00:45:26She invited me to participate in next month's international perfumery competition.
00:45:31Actually, I know she's just doing it to thank me for helping her find her kitten.
00:45:41Sophia, know the perfumer you mentioned.
00:45:44She loves perfumery as much as her own life.
00:45:47She recommended you for the competition.
00:45:50Because you're talented enough.
00:45:52Definitely not because of a cat.
00:45:56Job I'm offering you is something you could never get on your own.
00:46:01A perfume counter-associate.
00:46:03Don't you like perfume?
00:46:04There are high-end perfumes you've never even seen.
00:46:06I've only known Gavin for a month.
00:46:09But compared to Eric, whom I've known for years, he understands me even more.
00:46:13He respects me.
00:46:14Was I too serious just now?
00:46:16Did I scare you?
00:46:21Gavin, why are you so good to me?
00:46:24Because you deserve to be treated this well.
00:46:30What did you just say?
00:46:31I didn't hear you clearly.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:35Look, it's getting late.
00:46:38So get some rest.
00:46:43Once we're at the spice market, I need to get a good handle on animal scents.
00:46:47Otherwise, in next month's competition, I'll definitely be toast.
00:46:51Sophia, you're talented at making scent.
00:46:54I believe in you.
00:46:56In the international perfume competition, you're sure to win.
00:47:00You got it.
00:47:01Since those are your orders, I'll do exactly as you say.
00:47:09Eric, did you hear that?
00:47:10Sophia is going to enter the international perfume competition.
00:47:14Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:47:16Just by getting close to Gavin, she's already made things difficult for us.
00:47:20If she enters another competition, she'll look down on you even more.
00:47:25Then I'll make sure she can't compete.
00:47:29You have a plan?
00:47:33Miss Sterling?
00:47:34Have a box of spices here that requires you to sign for it in person.
00:47:39I didn't buy any spices.
00:47:40But the recipient is definitely you.
00:47:43Please come out and pick it up.
00:47:46I'm already out.
00:47:48Where are you?
00:47:49One moment.
00:47:49I'll bring it over to you right away.
00:47:56Sophia.
00:47:58Eric.
00:47:59What are you doing here?
00:48:01Sophia, I know.
00:48:02I wasn't kind or thoughtful in the past.
00:48:05I know I was wrong now.
00:48:07Give me another chance.
00:48:08Come home with me.
00:48:09We can make a good life together.
00:48:14Eric.
00:48:15I have nothing to do with you anymore.
00:48:17Please stop harassing me.
00:48:37What took her so long with the package?
00:48:41Mr. Whitmore, I was just outside and saw a girl get driven away in a van.
00:48:45She looked a bit like Sophia.
00:48:47What?
00:48:50Track Madame's phone number now.
00:49:01Dad, you've got to watch Sophia closely.
00:49:04This is a kidnapping.
00:49:06If she escapes, we're both in trouble.
00:49:08Don't worry.
00:49:10If she dares to run, I'll break her legs.
00:49:30Eric, let me go.
00:49:31This is kidnapping.
00:49:33It's a crime.
00:49:34Do you realize that?
00:49:35You said it yourself.
00:49:36It's kidnapping.
00:49:37How can we let you go?
00:49:39So you can call the police?
00:49:41Eric.
00:49:42Let me go.
00:49:43I'll agree to anything.
00:49:45Just let me go now.
00:49:46I won't call the police.
00:49:48You can still turn back.
00:49:50Sophia, I don't want anything else.
00:49:52I just want you to stay by my side and behave.
00:49:56We can go back to how things work.
00:49:58I'll even bring your mother over.
00:50:00We'll live as a happy family.
00:50:04Don't touch my mother.
00:50:05If you dare touch her, Gavin won't let you get away with it.
00:50:09Still talking about Gavin?
00:50:11Now even God himself can't save you.
00:50:15Eric, I know you're not the type to do something this reckless.
00:50:19Do as I say.
00:50:20Let me go.
00:50:21I promise I won't let Gavin pursue this.
00:50:24Eric, don't listen to her nonsense.
00:50:27Even now, she's still obsessed with Gavin.
00:50:29She just looks down on you.
00:50:40Sophia, why are you still being so stubborn?
00:50:43Told you.
00:50:44All I want is you come home with me and take good care of me and dad.
00:50:48But look at you now.
00:50:50All you think about is Gavin.
00:50:52Snap out of it.
00:50:53Get this straight now.
00:50:55We're two of a kind.
00:50:58You're a psycho.
00:51:00I'm nothing like you.
00:51:02And I'll never live with you.
00:51:04Stop it.
00:51:13Gavin!
00:51:14Gavin, save me!
00:51:15Let go of my wife!
00:51:17Mr. Whitmore, what brings you here?
00:51:22Oh, Dad!
00:51:35You head to the venue first.
00:51:37Leave everything here to me.
00:51:51Al.
00:51:53It's time for me to settle the score with you.
00:52:01We were wrong.
00:52:06The pressed in place.
00:52:07Get over here.
00:52:09Take good care of them.
00:52:11Then send them to jail for a few days.
00:52:18Miss Sinclair, the start time is almost here.
00:52:21Aren't we going to start?
00:52:22You said it.
00:52:24We can't let Sophia's absence stop the competition.
00:52:27This is an international event.
00:52:29If Sophia doesn't come, it means she's forfeiting the competition.
00:52:32Why should our time be wasted?
00:52:34Miss Sinclair, start the competition already.
00:52:36Sophia, why aren't you here yet?
00:52:39Then let the competition begin now.
00:52:42Wait a second.
00:52:47Sophia is here.
00:52:48Sophia is late for the competition.
00:52:50She should be disqualified.
00:52:52That's right.
00:52:53She's wasted so much of our time.
00:52:55She shouldn't be allowed to continue in the competition.
00:52:57I was just kidnapped outside the venue.
00:52:59I was just rescued.
00:53:01What?
00:53:02Kidnapped?
00:53:03Are you serious?
00:53:04I can vouch for her.
00:53:05I saw her being forced into a van and notified her family.
00:53:08Since Sophia has a valid reason for being late,
00:53:11I hereby declare that she remains eligible to compete.
00:53:15Any objections?
00:53:21I hereby declare the international perfume competition is now officially open.
00:53:28The first round is the basic olfactory assessment.
00:53:31Please blind smell the single raw materials in front of you.
00:53:35Write down their names, origins, and characteristics on your answer sheets.
00:53:41The second round is the scent memory test.
00:53:45Please smell the blended fragrances in front of you.
00:53:47And write your answers on the sheets.
00:53:51The third round is creative perfume formulation.
00:53:57Within the time limit, use the provided materials to create a fragrance based on the theme.
00:54:01You have 30 minutes.
00:54:20Attention, time is up.
00:54:23In the name?
00:54:41Oh my God.
00:54:41Let's just learn in the world.
00:54:53I announce
00:54:55that the winner of this competition is
00:54:58Sophia.
00:55:11Congratulations, my star perfumer, Sophia.
00:55:16How can Sophia be the winner?
00:55:18Exactly.
00:55:19As far as I know, she has never worked as a perfumer before.
00:55:22How could she be the winner?
00:55:24In the first and second rounds, you all made mistakes.
00:55:27Only Sophia was completely correct.
00:55:30But as a perfumer, practical execution is what matters most, isn't it?
00:55:34Every one of you chose to include a temple-like fragrance.
00:55:38But you forgot that zen doesn't just come from temples.
00:55:41It mostly comes from nature.
00:55:44In Sophia's solid perfume, there is a tranquil essence of natural zen.
00:55:48If you have any objections, you can come up and smell it.
00:55:54Let me see.
00:55:58Miss Sterling, if you don't mind, I'd love to ask for your guidance on perfumery.
00:56:04Of course.
00:56:05It's all because of your stupid idea.
00:56:07Now look what happened.
00:56:09Fifteen days in detention.
00:56:11We only got out after paying a fine of $10,000.
00:56:13When I suggested kidnapping Sophia, you agreed to it.
00:56:16You even said we should kidnap her mother, too.
00:56:20Mom, I just remembered I forgot the incense Dr. Monroe wanted.
00:56:24How about this?
00:56:25You head to Monroe's clinic first.
00:56:26I'll be right back.
00:56:27Okay.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29Okay.
00:56:37Sophia, you still have the nerve to show your face?
00:56:40Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't call the police?
00:56:42Sophia, it's all your fault.
00:56:44You got the two of us fifteen days in detention and a fine of $10,000.
00:56:48I'm telling you, you're the one paying for this.
00:56:50You kidnapped me and now you're blaming me?
00:56:54Listen to me carefully.
00:56:56Right now, I'm the one here to settle the score.
00:56:59Get her!
00:57:13Don't be in such a rush.
00:57:15I'll hit him first.
00:57:16Then I'll hit you after him.
00:57:17Then I'll hit him after you.
00:57:19Then I'll hit you after him.
00:57:20Then I'll hit him after you.
00:57:21Neither of you is getting away.
00:57:23You unbred bastard.
00:57:25You dare hit me?
00:57:26I almost forgot.
00:57:27But you bullied my mother too.
00:57:30I'm getting payback for her as well.
00:57:33Help!
00:57:41Can you spare me?
00:57:44Kevin, something terrible happened.
00:57:46Your wife is at the complex entrance fighting with someone.
00:57:48It's two guys against her.
00:57:49We have to go.
00:57:50How's Sophia?
00:57:51Is she hurt?
00:57:53She had the upper hand when I left.
00:57:54I'm telling you, don't you dare pick on her in the future.
00:57:57She's taking on two guys.
00:57:59Move it.
00:57:59We need to get there fast before she gets bullied.
00:58:05You've been looking for trouble with me.
00:58:07Time and time again.
00:58:08Did you think I was an easy target?
00:58:10Well, today, I'll let you see exactly how easy I am to mess with.
00:58:15Sophia!
00:58:16Sophia!
00:58:19Oh, dad!
00:58:22Mr. Whitmore, Sophia is manic.
00:58:25She hits people when she has an episode.
00:58:27You can't let someone like her into your family.
00:58:31Wow, Sophia.
00:58:32I didn't know you had it in you.
00:58:34I won't have to fear anyone picking on me.
00:58:40Sophia, leave trash like them to me from now on.
00:58:44Don't get yourself hurt.
00:58:46Sophia, weren't you out with your mother?
00:58:49What is she?
00:58:50Oh, I was too busy settling scores with them.
00:58:53I forgot she went to Monroe's clinic first.
00:58:55Let's get over there, Ben.
00:58:56Move in.
00:59:01Toosh!
00:59:09Sophia, you don't need to massage me anymore.
00:59:12You've had a long day, too.
00:59:14Dr. Monroe said, since your sense of smell is recovering,
00:59:16I should massage your head more to stimulate the cerebral cortex.
00:59:20It helps with your recovery.
00:59:22When you're better,
00:59:23I'll have fulfilled our agreement.
00:59:29What do you mean by that?
00:59:31We had an agreement.
00:59:33You found Dr. Monroe to treat my mother.
00:59:37And I help you recover your sense of smell.
00:59:39What if I said
00:59:41we should extend our agreement?
00:59:50Sophia,
00:59:51you're the cure for me.
00:59:54I've fallen for you.
00:59:56So,
00:59:58can we extend this agreement?
01:00:02I don't deserve you.
01:00:12It's not about being worthy.
01:00:14I just want to know
01:00:16if you like me.
01:00:19If you don't like me,
01:00:24and push me away.
01:00:53I don't know if you want to know
01:01:05Sofía, you smell like a kitten.
01:01:10It's so comforting.
01:01:25Sofía.
01:01:28What's wrong, Gavin?
01:01:30I thought you weren't here. Why are you up so early today?
01:01:35Miss Sinclair said the perfume giant in Rivermore City wants to invite me to be their chief perfumer.
01:01:39They asked to meet today.
01:01:41That's great news. I'll drive you there in a bit.
01:01:44No, thanks. Miss Sinclair is coming to pick me up.
01:01:48Sofía, I'm stuck in traffic. You go up first. I'll be there soon.
01:01:52Okay. There's no need to rush.
01:02:03Sofía, what are you doing here?
01:02:34Do you need a signature?
01:02:35Right here.
01:02:39Hello, I'm Sofía. I have an appointment.
01:02:42Okay.
01:02:46Hold on. What kind of place do you think our company is?
01:02:49You let just any random person in just because they have an appointment?
01:02:56Sofía, I gave you a chance before.
01:02:59I could have got you a job as a sales associate, but you didn't appreciate it.
01:03:03So, trying to weasel your way into our company all by yourself now?
01:03:07You're dreaming.
01:03:08I was recommended by Miss Sinclair. Please check my appointment info.
01:03:12Sure.
01:03:15Our company doesn't take just anyone.
01:03:18Regardless of who recommended you, if I say she can't come in, she's not stepping foot through these doors today.
01:03:23Mr. Preston, what if she is here for an interview?
01:03:26Then we definitely can't let her in.
01:03:28I know all about her background, better than anyone.
01:03:32When it comes to the perfume industry, she's completely clueless.
01:03:36She only makes cheap handmade soaps.
01:03:38There's no need for an interview.
01:03:40She doesn't meet our company's requirements at all.
01:03:44Sofía, I'm ordering you to leave our company.
01:03:48Now!
01:03:51Eric, I was invited by your boss.
01:03:54You better should show me some respect.
01:03:56Just you? A street vendor?
01:03:58Why would our boss invite you?
01:04:01Sofía, look closely.
01:04:03I'm the manager of this company now.
01:04:05If I don't let you through this door, you won't be entering this door today.
01:04:11Eric, are you sure you want me to leave?
01:04:15Obviously.
01:04:16Unless you get on your knees right now, I might be merciful and give you a chance to interview.
01:04:22Hmm. Fine.
01:04:25I'm leaving.
01:04:26I hope you don't come begging for me to return.
01:04:30After you.
01:04:35Sofía, finished so soon?
01:04:38I haven't even entered the company.
01:04:40The manager of this company kicked me out.
01:04:43Wait a second.
01:04:49Mr. Jones, your manager certainly has quite the attitude.
01:04:54You asked me to bring Ms. Sterling here, but your manager just ordered her to leave.
01:04:59Is this how your company shows your sincerity?
01:05:02Ms. Sinclair, there must be a misunderstanding.
01:05:04Please wait a moment.
01:05:05I'll be right there.
01:05:08Sophia, do you still want to see Mr. Jones?
01:05:10If not, we can leave right now.
01:05:16Since we're already here, we might as well see him.
01:05:20Oh, goodness.
01:05:21I am so sorry.
01:05:22Truly sorry.
01:05:24Mr. Jones, what are you doing here?
01:05:26Get out of the way.
01:05:27Don't block me from welcoming Ms. Sterling.
01:05:30Oh, Ms. Sinclair, Ms. Sterling.
01:05:32It's my fault for being so careless.
01:05:34I forgot to notify everyone.
01:05:36My staff might have misunderstood.
01:05:38Give me another chance.
01:05:39Let's talk inside.
01:05:41Mr. Jones, Sophia is a fraud.
01:05:44You can't let her interview for the company.
01:05:46Got it?
01:05:47Eric, what is your problem?
01:05:50Mr. Jones, Sophia is my ex-girlfriend.
01:05:53She knows absolutely nothing about the perfume industry.
01:05:56She shouldn't be interviewing here.
01:05:58I mean it.
01:06:01Mr. Jones, seems your manager has a major issue with me.
01:06:06Maybe we should just forget it.
01:06:11Eric, you idiot.
01:06:13Who gave you permission to slander Ms. Sterling?
01:06:16Ms. Sterling is the winner of the International Perfume Competition.
01:06:20I personally invited her to serve as our chief perfumer.
01:06:25International champion, chief perfumer, Sophia?
01:06:29That's impossible.
01:06:30Company manager?
01:06:32I see.
01:06:33Eric, so you're the one who offended Ms. Sterling and made her leave.
01:06:38Mr. Jones, it's all a misunderstanding.
01:06:42Misunderstanding?
01:06:43Didn't know Ms. Sterling was the competition winner.
01:06:46Misunderstanding?
01:06:47Nonsense.
01:06:48Eric, you're fired.
01:06:52Mr. Jones, you can't fire me.
01:06:56I can't lose this job.
01:06:57How will my dad and I survive in Rivermore City if I lose this job?
01:07:01Please.
01:07:02Mr. Jones!
01:07:11Tophia, I know how kind you are.
01:07:14Please help me ask Mr. Jones not to fire me.
01:07:17Please.
01:07:18I'm begging you.
01:07:19Eric, I have nothing to do with you.
01:07:22Why on earth would I help you?
01:07:26Get lost.
01:07:29Ms. Sinclair?
01:07:30Ms. Sterling?
01:07:31Let's talk inside.
01:07:41Tophia, why are you doing better than me?
01:07:44Since you made me lose my job, I'm taking you down to hell with me.
01:07:53What is wrong with you?
01:07:56Can't you see I'm sitting here?
01:07:58Dad, we're about to be run out of Rivermore City.
01:08:02Stop acting like you're still in charge.
01:08:05What happened?
01:08:07What do you mean we can't stay here?
01:08:09Tophia won the perfumery competition.
01:08:12She was hired by Mr. Jones as the company's chief perfumer.
01:08:16I offended her, and now I've lost my job.
01:08:19What?
01:08:20That little bitch Tophia again?
01:08:26Now that I don't have an income...
01:08:28And the rent for this place is so high, I can't even afford this month's rent.
01:08:33What else can we do but leave, Dad?
01:08:36No way.
01:08:38We can't just let Tophia get away with this.
01:08:47She ruined our lives.
01:08:49We can't let her live in peace either.
01:08:54Dad, do you have a plan?
01:08:58Don't you have photos of Tophia?
01:09:01Find some porn and Photoshop her face onto it.
01:09:05Want to see if your boss would hire a slut as his chief perfumer?
01:09:11Got it, Dad.
01:09:12Tophia, you just wait.
01:09:24We're truly honored to have Ms. Sterling, the international perfumery champion, to join us.
01:09:30Ms. Sterling, on behalf of the company, I'd like to formally invite you to serve as our chief perfumer.
01:09:39Tophia doesn't deserve to be the chief perfumer.
01:09:42Tophia doesn't deserve to be the chief perfumer.
01:09:51I'm here to expose her.
01:09:53The truth is, Tophia's a prostitute.
01:09:57I have the evidence right here.
01:10:00The person with her lack of character doesn't deserve to be the chief perfumer at all.
01:10:05She can prove it, too.
01:10:07Tophia drugged my son back then.
01:10:09She threatened to report him for rape, just to become his girlfriend.
01:10:14Mr. Jones, my son was only thinking of the company when he kicked Tophia out.
01:10:19Come on, everyone!
01:10:20Look at this!
01:10:22Look at this!
01:10:34What?
01:10:35A hooker?
01:10:38This is explosive news!
01:10:40The perfumery champion is actually a hooker?
01:10:46Look, it really is Tophia in these photos.
01:10:51Tophia is also Mr. Whitmore's wife.
01:10:54Who would have thought?
01:10:56Mr. Whitmore actually married a hooker.
01:11:08Eric, you're lying.
01:11:11Lying?
01:11:11These photos are the evidence.
01:11:14Tophia, you're just a piece of trash.
01:11:19Don't worry.
01:11:20I'll handle this.
01:11:24I'll handle this.
01:11:30Everyone here is a media professional.
01:11:33Surely you can tell this photo has obvious signs of AI manipulation?
01:11:38Exactly.
01:11:39The neck in this photo looks all wrong.
01:11:42The background is distorted, too.
01:11:45This guy is despicable.
01:11:46Using AI photos to slander Ms. Sterling.
01:11:48Get a picture of him!
01:11:51Don't film me.
01:11:54Eric, I'll settle the score with you later for the crime of slandering my wife.
01:11:58But for the crime of embezzling funds,
01:12:01I think Mr. Jones would like to settle up with you right now.
01:12:09Mr. Whitmore, I was wrong.
01:12:13Someone, grab Eric.
01:12:14Call the police.
01:12:15I'm pressing charges.
01:12:17Mr. Whitmore, please.
01:12:22You can't take him.
01:12:23My son can't go to jail.
01:12:24Wait.
01:12:27Go ahead.
01:12:29Speak up.
01:12:33If you're calling the police,
01:12:35then include me as well.
01:12:37For years,
01:12:38Simon took advantage of my mental state
01:12:40to repeatedly molest me.
01:12:42I want to report him, too.
01:12:44Don't listen to her.
01:12:45She's lying.
01:12:46She has dementia.
01:12:47Nothing she says is credible.
01:12:49My dementia was cured long ago by Professor Monroe.
01:12:52I take full responsibility for every word I say.
01:12:56In that case,
01:12:58take Simon
01:12:59to the police station as well.
01:13:05Move it.
01:13:06Let me go!
01:13:08Don't touch me!
01:13:13Miss Sterling,
01:13:14I'm truly sorry.
01:13:16This was my oversight.
01:13:17Let's continue with the signing.
01:13:19Yes, please.
01:13:27It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:28Great.
01:13:33It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:35It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:36It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:38It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:39It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:39It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:40It's a pleasure working with you.
01:13:41You
