00:00:0016 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.

00:00:1116 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.
00:00:18He's my guardian and my secret lover.
00:00:21He said once I got a faculty position at Faircroft, he'd consider being with me.
00:00:26Today's my 24th birthday. I turn down every invitation.
00:00:30I'm ready to give myself to him.
00:00:39Caleb, slow down.
00:00:42Isn't it your little orphan's birthday today?
00:00:45Stay focused.
00:00:47Why bring her up?
00:00:49Heard she turned down every academic offer for you dead set on getting in your bed.
00:00:54You've kept her in Manhattan for 16 years.
00:00:57You actually gonna touch that virgin?
00:01:03Just a canary with a mental illness who can't survive without me.
00:01:09I keep her around to clean up the mess from that lab accident years ago.
00:01:12I know the difference between a woman and a pet.
00:01:25Ella, who gave you permission to watch?
00:01:27Go back to your room.
00:01:42Caleb, you promised me...
00:01:46Dressed like this outside my door? You think you're some cheap whore?
00:01:51Today's my 24th birthday. I got the faculty offer from Faircroft.
00:01:55You'd consider us...
00:01:57Like the state of my her own home and...
00:02:00You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:02:02I spent millions raising you.
00:02:03And this is how you repay me?
00:02:05With this filthy little scheme?
00:02:07I just love you, Caleb.
00:02:08Love?
00:02:09You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
00:02:12You read a few books...
00:02:13And you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
00:02:30Listen up, all of you.
00:02:32Starting tonight, Serena is the lady of this penthouse.
00:02:35What she says, goes.
00:02:38Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:51Professor at Fairchit?
00:02:53Sounds real impressive.
00:02:55That promise?
00:02:56It was all just a game to you, wasn't it?
00:03:01Just a trick to keep a pet entertained.
00:03:04Who knew you'd be stupid enough to believe it?
00:03:10Know your place, Ella.
00:03:12Try this cheap little stunk again...
00:03:14And I'll throw you back to the slumps.
00:03:22Call the family trust.
00:03:24Separate Ella's bills from the family count.
00:03:26She's not part of the Thorne family.
00:03:28Just a pet I keep.
00:03:31Long-term investment.
00:03:33I was just a priced pet to him this whole time.
00:03:38Caleb, why are you still wearing this cheap thing?
00:03:42You're right.
00:03:43Cheap things don't belong on my wrist.
00:03:49That was his 18th birthday gift.
00:03:51I bought it with the money I made from my part-time work.
00:03:55He promised me he'd wear it forever.
00:03:59This Pat Felilip, I bought it at auction just for you.
00:04:02This is what fits your status.
00:04:15What are you still doing here?
00:04:17Take out the trash.
00:04:18You're getting in Serena's way.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:20I'm ready.
00:04:22We are you still in a hurry.
00:04:24Caleb, bringing a moody orphan to a place like this?
00:04:27It's like you.
00:04:29It's not like you.
00:04:30A pet needs to see the real world,
00:04:33so she doesn't forget her worth.
00:04:35I don't know what I did wrong.
00:04:37Ever since he met Serena,
00:04:39he's done nothing but humiliate me like this.
00:04:44Polaris!
00:04:44Polaris, that's the graduation gift he promised me.
00:04:48Caleb, this is for me?
00:04:51Polaris means the one and only guide.
00:04:54Only a woman who stands equal to the Thorn family deserves this.
00:05:04Pretty, isn't it, Ella?
00:05:05It's a gift from Caleb.
00:05:07Caleb, you lied to me.
00:05:09Lied to you?
00:05:11You think a faculty offer at Fairtick makes you worthy to stand by my side?
00:05:15You said it was mine.
00:05:17You're just a pet I own.
00:05:19Pets don't get to demand gifts from their masters.
00:05:23Get out. You're ruining the night.
00:05:31Gentlemen, to another successful quarter.
00:05:35Indeed.
00:05:37Though I must say, the real victory is yet to come.
00:05:42Couldn't agree more, Caleb.
00:05:53Ella, the chef made this especially for you.
00:05:56Have a taste.
00:06:00I'm sorry.
00:06:01I can't eat this.
00:06:04What's wrong?
00:06:04Not to your taste?
00:06:07Ready, don't about tip that escapes.
00:06:10All the partners are watching, Ella.
00:06:12Refusing your host food at a dinner party is terribly rude.
00:06:16Caleb, you know.
00:06:17I go into an anaphylactic shock if I eat peanuts.
00:06:24Cut the crap and stop making a scene.
00:06:34Caleb.
00:06:35Eat it.
00:06:36Don't make me say it again.
00:06:40He knew how deadly my peanut allergy was.
00:06:43Yet to save his new lover's face, he's forcing me to do this.
00:07:16Caleb.
00:07:21Oh my god, Caleb.
00:07:22She's terrifying like this.
00:07:24I am scared.
00:07:29Throw her out.
00:07:31Do not let her ruin Serena night.
00:07:48Well, what do we have here?
00:07:50A poor little thing thrown out by someone.
00:07:53You're real pretty.
00:07:55Why don't you keep me company?
00:08:04Ella?
00:08:05What happened to you?
00:08:06Hold on.
00:08:07I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:08:10Hold on.
00:08:11I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:08:23You're finally awake.
00:08:24The doctor said you'd be dead if you'd arrived ten minutes later.
00:08:30Where's Caleb?
00:08:32He's your legal guardian.
00:08:33How could he leave you to die in an alley?
00:08:36Sixteen years by his side.
00:08:37I thought I was his treasure.
00:08:39Until last night, I realized I was nothing but trash he could throw away whenever he wanted.
00:08:45Elliot, thank you for saving me.
00:08:47Are you okay?
00:08:51I'm fine.
00:08:53I just finally woke up.
00:08:57Caleb Thorne.
00:08:59From today on, I don't love you anymore.
00:09:06Well, look who's here.
00:09:07The stray dog Caleb keeps around.
00:09:09You sure have a hard life?
00:09:10Didn't die in the hospital?
00:09:13Well, besides that pretty face, all she's good at is sucking up to people.
00:09:26That's the only thing my parents left me.
00:09:28How dare you use it as a table coder?
00:09:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:32I thought it was just a piece of worthless trash.
00:09:36I wouldn't touch that if I were you.
00:09:38Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:09:39That champagne tower is resting on it.
00:09:41Every bottle here is worth more than your life.
00:09:43Can you afford it if it collapses?
00:09:45That's my parents' memento.
00:09:47Take it out and give it back to me.
00:09:49Memento, it's just a piece of junk.
00:09:51Being a coaster is the only use it has, just like you.
00:09:57This has everything that belongs to me.
00:09:59Give it back to me!
00:10:00You filthy little thing.
00:10:02You really think Caleb kept you around because he cared?
00:10:04He was just bored, keeping a dog for fun.
00:10:07Now that I'm marrying you to the Thorne family, you're not even worth a dog.
00:10:14What's all this noise about?
00:10:21A cursed child like you can't even hold on to your parents' memento?
00:10:25How dare you think you deserve to stand by Caleb's side?
00:10:28Get out of my way.
00:10:29I'm getting that drive back!
00:10:32No!
00:10:35No!
00:10:36No!
00:10:37No!
00:10:37No!
00:10:37No!
00:10:38No!
00:10:39No!
00:10:40No!
00:10:40Caleb, it hurts!
00:10:42Caleb, I just used a useless hard drive to prop up the table, and she tried to kill me.
00:10:48She's jealous I'm marrying you.
00:10:50She wanted me to die in all this glass.
00:10:55I didn't push her.
00:10:56Where's my drive?
00:10:58The only thing my parents left me.
00:11:00Ella, stop it!
00:11:02Are you willing to throw your life away for a piece of junk?
00:11:14Caleb, I got it.
00:11:19Ella, you've really disappointed me.
00:11:21His words completely shattered the fantasy I've held for 16 years.
00:11:24I saw him as a god, my only salvation.
00:11:27But in his eyes, I'm not even worth a single tear from Serena.
00:11:33Give it back.
00:11:34It's the only thing they left me.
00:11:36You dared to hurt someone over a worthless piece of junk?
00:11:38Serena is the future lady of the Thorn family.
00:11:41Your viciousness makes me sick.
00:11:58Now that this is gone, you will behave yourself.
00:12:00If you pull something like this again, I'll have you sent straight to prison.
00:12:06As you wish, Mr. Thorn.
00:12:10Ella, as Caleb's former mentor, I have to warn you.
00:12:12Project Absolute Zero is an extremely high-risk, one-way research mission.
00:12:16Once you enter the subatomic Crimo chamber, your biological clock will be frozen in stasis.
00:12:20You could suffer brain death at any time during hibernation.
00:12:23Are you sure you want to do this?
00:12:25Ella, even if you want to get away from Caleb, you don't have to gamble your life on this.
00:12:29There's no other way.
00:12:30He raised me for 16 years, and only the high compensation from Distamets and Parabit Alhwe.
00:12:36This is the only way I can completely cut all glungs with him.
00:12:43If you've made up your mind, this still needs the signature and authorization of your legal guardian to take full
00:12:49effect.
00:12:55The scabs on your hands have barely healed, and you're already here to get in my way again?
00:13:00This is a research project application.
00:13:02I need my guardian's signature.
00:13:04Another garbage grant application, Ella?
00:13:06Can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:13:09This is the last time.
00:13:19Take the money and get out of this penthouse.
00:13:22Once you sign this, you disappear from my sight for good.
00:13:32Caleb, starting today, I will disappear from your world forever.
00:13:47Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to liquidate all of this?
00:13:50This cart-eating sapphire necklace was custom-made by Mr. Thorne as your birthday gift.
00:13:56Pack everything.
00:13:58I'll take below market value if the funds can be transferred today.
00:14:01Understood.
00:14:02I'll arrange it immediately.
00:14:05I once thought all of this was proof of his affection for me.
00:14:09But it turned out to be nothing but a way to keep me caged.
00:14:14Miss Bennett, as you requested, the full liquidation is complete.
00:14:17From the day you were taken into the Thorne family's custody at age 8 until now.
00:14:21This includes your private school and goal endowments, university tuition, living expenses,
00:14:25medical bills, and even the HOO fees for this Manhattan penthouse.
00:14:28Plus the maximum commercial loan interest over these 16 years.
00:14:31The total is $80 million U.S. dollars.
00:14:34Not a single cent is missing, correct?
00:14:36That's right.
00:14:37But Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to do this?
00:14:39There's no legal obligation for you to pay this back.
00:14:42I don't want to owe him anything.
00:14:45This is almost your entire net worth.
00:14:48It doesn't matter.
00:14:49This money is exactly enough to buy out my 16 years.
00:14:54Use every resource in the lab.
00:14:56I want every single bit of data on this drive recovered.
00:14:59No exceptions.
00:15:00Mr. Thorne, this drive suffered catastrophic physical damage and was submerged in ice water.
00:15:05Even with the most advanced quantum recovery equipment, the success rate is extremely low.
00:15:09I don't want to hear about probabilities.
00:15:11If you can't recover the data, your entire team is out of Manhattan tomorrow.
00:15:17Yes, sir.
00:15:18I'll handle it immediately.
00:15:27Sir, these are the final funding documents for Project Absolute Zero, a joint initiative
00:15:31between the Pentagon and NASA.
00:15:32They require your final confirmation and signature.
00:15:36For routine approvals like this, have the VP sign them from now on.
00:16:08Why is Ella's name on this side?
00:16:09Why is Ella's name on this list?
00:16:11Volunteer 01 for the Subatomic Creo Chamber, sign the highest risk one-way agreement, waiving
00:16:16all rights to their life.
00:16:17There's no way this is Ms. Bennett.
00:16:25A death waiver?
00:16:26No, this can't be happening.
00:16:29The number you have dialed is switched off.
00:16:31Cancel all my meetings this afternoon.
00:16:33But sir, we're supposed to finalize the wedding venue this afternoon.
00:16:40Caleb!
00:16:40The designer from Paris is waiting downstairs.
00:16:43Come help me pick from these wedding dresses.
00:16:44Move.
00:16:45I don't have time for this right now.
00:16:47Where are you going?
00:16:49We're sending out the invitations tomorrow.
00:16:50Is there anything more important than our wedding?
00:17:01Check.
00:17:02Immediately access the back-end database of the Federal Recruitment System and re-verify
00:17:07the identity file for Volunteer 01.
00:17:09Yes, sir.
00:17:10Accessing it now.
00:17:12Sir, it's verified.
00:17:14There was an input error on the document.
00:17:16Volunteer 01 is a Hispanic male.
00:17:20The $100,000 has been wired.
00:17:23Received.
00:17:24Which database do you want to access?
00:17:25Federal Recruitment System, Volunteer 01.
00:17:28Wipe the original name, change the gender to male, and plug in a random Hispanic background.
00:17:32Full network coverage in two minutes.
00:17:35Caleb, what could possibly make you ignore our wedding guest list like this?
00:17:38It's nothing.
00:17:40I knew it.
00:17:42She'd never have the guts to sign a one-way death agreement like that.
00:17:54Stop it!
00:17:55Cut the power right now!
00:17:56Her brainwaves are hitting the critical threshold!
00:17:59Terminating desensitization stimuli.
00:18:07Ella, are you out of your mind?
00:18:09Not even specially trained soldiers can handle this level of simulated hibernation pain.
00:18:14I signed the agreement.
00:18:16There's no turning back.
00:18:20Please, all volunteers of the Project Absolute Zero, go to Hall 1.
00:18:25The representative of the largest private capital sponsor is about to give a speech.
00:18:29Sponsor?
00:18:30I thought the military was keeping this whole thing classified from the public.
00:18:33Come on.
00:18:34Pentagon clearance isn't something just anyone can get.
00:18:53Caleb, why is he here?
00:18:57Sir, these are the advanced volunteers for the subatomic cryopod program.
00:19:01Subject 0-1 is among them.
00:19:030-1?
00:19:04That is my number.
00:19:06He did not just know I signed that death warrant.
00:19:09He is here to make sure I really disappear from his world for good.
00:19:14I am not here to give you cheap sympathy or empty words of comfort.
00:19:19Thorne Global Group has poured $10 billion into Project Absolute Zero.
00:19:23As far as I am concerned, the one-way agreement you signed is nothing more than a high-risk, high
00:19:26-reward investment.
00:19:28Scientific progress always comes with a cost.
00:19:30As long as the data is valuable, every write-off is an acceptable business experience.
00:19:3416 years by his side, and in his eyes, I am nothing more than a set of cold numbers he
00:19:40can write off whenever he wants.
00:19:46Sir, it's Miss Serena Huntington.
00:19:48The Huntington family is pressing for the final maid of honor list for the wedding and security confirmation for the
00:19:53Yacht Party.
00:20:09Hello? You okay?
00:20:15I'm fine.
00:20:18Caleb, my life is yours to keep.
00:20:20I hope you and your bride have a very happy wedding.
00:20:27Three days.
00:20:28I cut off all her cards.
00:20:29She can't survive without me.
00:20:30She's definitely holed up in that room, crying her eyes out right now.
00:20:34Influid user.
00:20:35Permissions have been cleared.
00:20:36No, that's not possible.
00:20:41You changed the lock code?
00:20:42Ella, you've got some nerve!
00:20:54Ella!
00:20:55Get out here!
00:20:57Quit with this childish game!
00:21:12We're even?
00:21:13Ella?
00:21:14Who the hell gave you permission to be even with me?!
00:21:27Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.
00:21:34Dammit, Ella!
00:21:35You think you can hide somewhere and I won't find you?!
00:21:49Caleb, there you are!
00:21:51Look, Vera sent this over personally.
00:21:53You haven't even tried on your tux yet.
00:21:57Take it off.
00:21:59What?
00:22:00I said take that disgusting dress off.
00:22:03The wedding's off.
00:22:04Are you insane?!
00:22:06Every media outlet in New York is waiting for the ceremony tomorrow!
00:22:10Both our family's stocks jumped ten points off this merger, and you're saying it's off now?!
00:22:16Don't make me say it twice.
00:22:17Ella's gone.
00:22:19Until I find her, no one's walking through the doors of the Thorn Estate as my wife.
00:22:28Caleb!
00:22:30You're humiliating me for that little part!
00:22:45Who the hell gave you permission to move anything in here?
00:22:48Where's the owner?
00:22:49Sir, we're just doing our job.
00:22:51Hey, man.
00:22:52Who are you looking for?
00:22:53Who the hell are you?!
00:22:54This house belongs to Ella Bennett.
00:22:56What gives you the right to live here?
00:22:59Chill out!
00:23:00I bought this place through a licensed agency.
00:23:03I'm the legal owner now.
00:23:05Mr. Thorn!
00:23:06Please let go!
00:23:07This is all completely legal!
00:23:09You're the realtor for this property.
00:23:11Who gave you the balls to sell it?
00:23:12It was Mrs. Ella Bennett herself, sir.
00:23:15She came into the office a week ago and signed all the paperwork personally.
00:23:18Her only condition was that we sell it 20% below market value,
00:23:21but the full cash amount had to hit her account within 24 hours.
00:23:47What did she do?
00:23:49The whole of Manhattan can be your home, as long as you stay where I can see you.
00:24:02what else did she sell miss bennett also liquidated all the vehicles in her name
00:24:07as well as her holdings in the charitable foundation

00:26:10take the money and get out of this penthouse once you sign this disappear from my site for good
00:26:18ella you lied to me
00:26:25mark lock down every subatomic lab in manhattan
00:26:28now
00:26:29sir the military's already taking control we can't stop them
00:26:40uh
00:26:40oh
00:26:40uh
00:26:53give me a glass of water
00:27:00The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:27:17Did you find Ella?
00:27:20No, sir.
00:27:21I spend tens of millions a year on you and your team, and you're telling me you can't
00:27:25find one single person.
00:27:27He's Bennett's data.
00:27:28It's been wiped.
00:27:29Her social security number, bank accounts, medical records, access logs, even her cloud
00:27:34photos.
00:27:35Everything's gone.
00:27:42Ella, you think wiping yourself off the map means I won't find you?
00:27:45I'm going to hunt you down myself and bring you back.
00:27:54Sir, we've sorted through over 3,000 hours of footage, and we still haven't found any
00:27:58sign of Ms. Bennett.
00:28:00Then sort through 30,000.
00:28:02I don't care if we have to turn over every inch of Manhattan.
00:28:04You will find her!
00:28:08Wait!
00:28:09Rewind three seconds.
00:28:10Bottom left corner.
00:28:19Found you.
00:28:20Bad girls get punished, you know.
00:28:26Remember this.
00:28:28In Manhattan, you're nothing but my property.
00:28:32Step out a line, and you get punished.
00:28:37I'll be good, Daddy.
00:28:39I promise.
00:28:46Ella, this little runaway game of yours, it's over.
00:28:49I don't care.
00:28:52Don't care.
00:28:53I'm hungry.
00:28:53I'm hungry.
00:28:59I'm hungry.
00:29:07I don't care.
00:29:09I'm hungry.
00:29:29Ella, get out here and face me!
00:29:34On your knees, hands behind your head.
00:29:36Where's Ella?
00:29:37I need to see Ella Bennett.
00:29:46Ella, give her back to me!
00:29:49Give me my Ella back!
00:30:00Mr. Thorne, you signed this document last week.
00:30:03Under this agreement, this facility is designated as top secret federal restricted land.
00:30:08You are not authorized to enter.
00:30:10I signed a research sponsorship!
00:30:12My Ella is in there!
00:30:13Let her out!
00:30:14Ella, you get out here right now!
00:30:16How dare you!
00:30:18How dare you sign up for this death trap behind my back!
00:30:25Daddy, I want to restart my parents' project Absolute Zero Research to finish what they started.
00:30:35That garbage your parents were working on, it's worthless.
00:30:39There's no point to any of it.
00:30:40Daddy, I...
00:30:41I'm warning you.
00:30:42You don't touch that research without my permission.
00:30:47Okay, Daddy.
00:30:48I'll listen.
00:30:50Get off me!
00:30:53Ella!
00:30:54Look at me!
00:30:55I'm ordering you to turn around!
00:31:07Sir, we pulled Ms. Bennett's file.
00:31:09We had to bypass the board's standard review and use security privileges to get this data.
00:31:24What the hell does citizenship revocation mean?
00:31:27According to the experimental brief we obtained, the program requires volunteers to enter the subatomic cryopod.
00:31:32Once the procedure starts, the volunteer's metabolic functions will drop to a complete stamp still.
00:31:37Legally speaking, she will be declared deceased.
00:31:39Get the jet ready!
00:31:41I will not let her go through with this!
00:31:53Caleb, in such a rush to see your little pet, don't forget, I'm your fiancé.
00:31:59Get out of my way, Serena.
00:32:01I won't warn you twice.
00:32:03Per the pre-enodule agreement's default close, if you leave right now,
00:32:07Thorn Global Group's stock will plummet faster than you can fathom.
00:32:10My family will pull all funding immediately, and that precious business empire of yours will crumble to dust in an
00:32:16instant.
00:32:25Take off!
00:32:26Take off!
00:32:27Take off!
00:32:27Take off!
00:32:27Right now!
00:32:30Sir, Houston's been hit by a massive storm.
00:32:33Houston airspace is closed.
00:32:35A no-fly order has been issued.
00:32:37All private routes to and from the space base are cancelled indefinitely.
00:32:42God damn it!
00:32:51Step back, Mr. Thorne.
00:32:52This is federal military-restricted property.
00:32:54No entry is permitted.
00:32:55Move!
00:32:56Get Ella Bennett out here right now.
00:32:59I'm her legal guardian.
00:33:00Per the Federal Asset Protection Agreement, Dr. Bennett is now classified as National Scientific Research Property.
00:33:05She has signed on to Project Absolute Zero, and no one has the right to interfere.
00:33:10Property!
00:33:11I raised her for 16 years!
00:33:13Everything she is, everything she has is mine!
00:33:16You dare tell me I have no rights?!
00:33:19Remember this!
00:33:20You're my most perfect investment.
00:33:22Everything you are is mine.
00:33:25Caleb, I'm yours.
00:33:27I'll never leave you.
00:33:30Daddy, please.
00:33:32Say master.
00:33:34I'll tear this whole facility down if I have to.
00:33:36I'm taking her with me today.
00:33:40You can't take her anymore, Caleb.
00:33:45Elliot, you're just her old college classmate.
00:33:47What makes you think you can stop me?
00:33:48Open this gate, and give my girl back.
00:33:52Your girl.
00:33:53She's a brilliant biophysics PhD, not your personal pet to lock away.
00:33:57I'm her sugar daddy.
00:33:59I'm the one who gave her every luxury she's ever had.
00:34:01Without me, she would have died with her parents when she was 8 years old.
00:34:05Tell her to get out here and see me!
00:34:07You drove all the way across the country here throwing a fit.
00:34:10Are you here as the daddy who bought her life,
00:34:13or as a man who lost the only woman he's ever loved?
00:34:20Next time you dare talk to another man behind my back,
00:34:23this punishment will be the least of your worries.
00:34:26Caleb, what am I to you, really?
00:34:30What is she to you, Caleb?
00:34:33I...
00:34:36What is she to you?
00:34:41I...
00:34:45Caleb, I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:34:49I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:34:53When you get that official offer from the Ivy League...
00:34:55I'll get it! You have to keep your promise!
00:35:00I'm her guardian.
00:35:02I can't just stand by and watch her die.
00:35:04Why?
00:35:05She's already in the near absolute zero subatomic scanning pod.
00:35:08Her vital signs are frozen in stasis.
00:35:11Forever.
00:35:12How could it happen so fast?
00:35:13This is how she's cutting every last tie to you, Caleb.
00:35:16You've lost her.
00:35:18Forever.
00:35:33The agents won't hold him off for long.
00:35:35The base already received a legal notice from Thorn Global Group.
00:35:39This is the last transatlantic flight out tonight.
00:35:42You can still back out of the experiment.
00:35:45You don't have to throw your life away to get back at a madman.
00:35:48Geneva?
00:35:49To go be another socialite in a couture gown there?
00:35:52You can start over.
00:35:54Elliot, my soul died on my 24th birthday.
00:36:01That Creopod...
00:36:03It's the perfect fit for this soulless body of mine.
00:36:11I don't care what you have to do.
00:36:13I want Project Absolute Zero's funding dried up in five minutes.
00:36:16Sir, this is a federal government-backed project.
00:36:19Then buy up every last debt this lab owes!
00:36:22Cut their power.
00:36:24Freeze every single research account.
00:36:25If she wants to lock herself in that freezer, I'll smash it to pieces!
00:36:30No one takes her from me.
00:36:32Not even death.
00:36:38Sir, we ran it all down.
00:36:40Ms. Bennett sold every property, every piece of jewelry you ever gave her.
00:36:45Including that vintage Pathé Fear Ape watch.
00:36:50She sold that watch?
00:36:53Yes, sir.
00:36:55She put all the cash from the sales into an anonymous trust in your name.
00:36:59The entire sum has been donated to the families of the victims from the lab explosion at Thorn Global Group.
00:37:0516 years ago.
00:37:07She gave everything back.
00:37:09Every last thing.
00:37:10Used it to sever the final thread between us.
00:37:16Caleb!
00:37:18What the hell is going on?
00:37:19The designer has been waiting for two hours.
00:37:22Where the hell is Ella?
00:37:24She bailed on the bridesmaid fitting.
00:37:26And I look like a fool!
00:37:27You froze her card, so go find her and make her whole train.
00:37:31Dress?
00:37:32Looking like a fool?
00:37:39Merger?
00:37:40Orders?
00:37:41I threw the only woman I've ever loved into a grave for this meaningless garbage.
00:37:46Let...
00:37:47Let go of me.
00:37:48Your disgusting face isn't worth a single hair on her head.
00:37:54Have you lost your mind?
00:37:56I'm your fiancé.
00:37:57How dare you treat me like this?
00:37:59Get out.
00:38:00The engagement's off.
00:38:01I don't want to see your face ever again.
00:38:05Get the finance team in here.
00:38:07Mr. Thorn, what are you planning?
00:38:09Sell every share in the group.
00:38:10Liquidate every asset to my name.
00:38:12I'm buying the lab.
00:38:14I want full control of that cryopod.
00:38:17You can't run from me, Ella.
00:38:19I told you.
00:38:20Without my permission, even death can't take you away from me.
00:38:30Mr. Thorn, today's proceedings are closed.
00:38:34Only invited scientific delegates and official media are permitted entry.
00:38:38Closed?
00:38:40Seventy percent of the liquid helium cooling patents used in Project Absolute Zero belong to Thorn Global Group.
00:38:47I'm here as the lead sponsor and patent holder to inspect my assets.
00:38:53But Dr. Hayes specifically instructed...
00:38:54What does he mean?
00:38:56I don't care what Hayes said.
00:38:58Move.
00:39:00Or in five, five minutes, my legal team will file a mandatory injunction to the federal court
00:39:05and cut the power to the entire court facility.
00:39:26Please don't.
00:39:31Good afternoon.
00:39:33Today, Project Absolute Zero officially enters its live testing phase.
00:39:38As the first test subject for the Deep Cryo Hibernation pod, I'd like to deliver my final project briefing here.
00:39:45I chose this project to carry on my parents' legacy in biophysics.
00:39:50The experimental data they left unfinished will be continued by me when I wake.
00:39:57Thank you to NASCA for the equipment support and to my mentor, Dr. Arthur.
00:40:04A special thank you to researcher Elliot Hayes.
00:40:08I never would have made it this far without you.
00:40:12I have cut every last tie to my past.
00:40:15My research and this body belong to the future.
00:40:19Briefing complete.
00:40:25Ella.
00:40:35Mr. Thorne.
00:40:39Don't move.
00:40:40This facility is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense.
00:40:45Move.
00:40:46She's mine.
00:40:48You have no right to take her from me.
00:40:50Ella.
00:40:52Look at me.
00:40:53The wedding's off.
00:40:54Don't go in there.
00:41:02Come home with me.
00:41:03Daddy will take you away anything you want.
00:41:06Happy wedding, Daddy.
00:41:11Once this locks in, it's 20 years.
00:41:14Are you sure about this?
00:41:16Start it.
00:41:21Ella!
00:41:28Sir, we found out what happened.
00:41:30The reason the lab was able to push through the experiment despite your freeze order is because someone filed federal
00:41:37approval on their behalf.
00:41:38Who?
00:41:38It was Miss Serena Huntington.
00:41:40She used her family's political connections to green light the lab.
00:41:44Roll the cameras.
00:41:47Mr. Thorne is simply suffering from exhaustion from the recent merger.
00:41:50He's resting up well.
00:41:52Our engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled.
00:41:55Get out.
00:41:56The press is right outside.
00:41:58If you throw a fit now, the group's stock will crash.
00:42:02Let every reporter outside in here.
00:42:04Now.
00:42:07I'm only here to announce two things today.
00:42:15First, the engagement is off.
00:42:17Effective immediately, Thorne Global Group is severing all business ties with the Huntington family.
00:42:22Second, I will be liquidating my entire personal stake in the company, with all proceeds going to the continued research
00:42:30of Project Absolute Zero.
00:42:34Caleb!
00:42:35The default penalties for this manateral breach are astronomical!
00:42:40Save your breath.
00:42:42My legal team submitted all evidence of the Huntington family's offshore fund manipulation to the SEC half an hour ago.
00:42:49The FBI should be raiding your father's office right about now.
00:42:52You can worry about the default penalties when you're paying your family's legal fees.
00:42:56Have you lost your mind?
00:42:58You're gonna take down two entire conglomerates for that woman?
00:43:01You're the one who locked her in that pod.
00:43:03I locked her in there?
00:43:04Who are you trying to fool with this lovesick act, Caleb?
00:43:07Did I force her to sign that agreement?
00:43:09Was I the one who, in front of all of New York's high society, shoved that peanut butter salad down
00:43:15her throat and watched her choke and go into an anaphylactic shock?
00:43:18You treated her like a dog you could kick around whenever you wanted.
00:43:22You're the one who drove her to this.
00:43:23She'd rather freeze herself solid than look at you ever again.
00:43:27Don't pin this on me, Caleb.
00:43:29You know better than anyone.
00:43:30The person she hates most in this world is you.
00:43:33Get out!
00:43:34All of you!
00:43:35Get out!
00:43:44Mr. Thorne, if we move forward with this liquidation, the 60-year legacy of Thorne Global Gleam will be gone
00:43:51in an instant.
00:43:51This is suicide!
00:43:53I want cash.
00:43:55Nothing else.
00:43:56Have you lost your mind, Caleb?
00:43:57You are going to dissolve the entire conglomerate for this dead-end cryo project?
00:44:01As far as I am concerned, this entire conglomerate is not worth a single breath of liquid nitrogen for her.
00:44:06Liquidate every factory, every patent.
00:44:09I want the cash in my account by sundown.
00:44:13Mr. Thorne, this the sum is enough to buy three space agencies.
00:44:17Effective immediately, Ms. Bennett cryopod is under exclusive monitoring protocols.
00:44:22Exclusive?
00:44:22That means no one gets near her but me.
00:44:25No exceptions.
00:44:26Yes, sir.
00:44:27All personnel, including Dr. Hayes, are prohibited from entering a five-mile radius of the monitoring station without your explicit
00:44:35authorization.
00:44:40See, Ella?
00:44:42I told you.
00:44:44You cannot run from me without my permission.
00:45:10Ella…
00:45:11You cannot run from me without my permission.
00:45:17Caleb, it hurts.
00:45:20Be a good girl.
00:45:23I know.
00:45:24Caleb, I only have you.
00:45:28Daddy, please, don't leave me.
00:45:31Never leave me.
00:45:38I will never leave you.
00:45:40You hear me?
00:45:41Not until the day I die.
00:45:43You are stuck with me.
00:45:45For the rest of your life.
00:45:49It is okay.
00:45:51You sleep.
00:45:52I am not going anywhere.
00:45:55I am right here, waiting for you.
00:46:20They say the snow will bury us all, but I think it's just the beginning.
00:46:30Shit!
00:46:41Open!
00:46:44God damn it, open!
00:46:48She can't die!
00:47:00You're mine. No one can take you from me.
00:47:08Mr. Thorne, this violates every ethical review.
00:47:12Buying the first right of custody over a Tessa subject
00:47:15It makes her your personal property.
00:47:17My foundation will fund this project in full, indefinitely.
00:47:25On one condition, only I can wake her up.
00:47:29Even if she's nothing but a corpse, she's my corpse.
00:47:45I don't know.
00:47:50I don't know.
00:47:53I don't know.
00:48:13forever soon.
00:48:28Ella...
00:48:35Don't you dare run.
00:48:37You owe me.
00:48:39You'll never pay it off, not in this life.
00:48:43Caleb.
00:48:55Dad?
00:49:25Don't go!
00:49:27Take me with you!
00:49:31Go back, Ella.
00:49:32Finish Project Dusk Homecoming.
00:49:35Clear your name.
00:49:48I'm still here.
00:49:59Ella, I can't hold on much longer.
00:50:22No!
00:50:24You cannot leave me!
00:50:26No!
00:50:47Ella Bend.
00:50:48We did it.
00:50:49Welcome to 20 years later.
00:50:58Elliot.
00:50:59I am here.
00:51:00I want to start new research.
00:51:02I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:06I want to start new research.
00:51:08I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:51:37The board wants to see the data by Friday.
00:51:39I'm on it.
00:51:43I saw the report.
00:51:47Caleb.
00:51:48I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:51:52I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:51:55Today is my 24th birthday.
00:51:57I got the faculty offer from Fairkitch.
00:52:01You said once I had it, you'd consider us.
00:52:05I spent millions raising you.
00:52:07And this is how you repay me?
00:52:09With this filthy little scheme?
00:52:10I do not.
00:52:29I am not dying.
00:52:33is nothing.
00:52:34I am not acting.
00:52:47What's wrong with this janitor?
00:52:49Is he sick?
00:52:50He's coughing up blood, looks like.
00:52:56Are you alright?
00:52:58You should go to the infirmary.
00:53:07These hands are only for painting me, or pleasing me.
00:53:16Daddy, not here.
00:53:19Leave him be, Ella. He's probably scared.
00:53:25Come on, we're going to be late for the meeting.
00:53:28I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:53:36If we plug this set of variables into the absolute zero field,
00:53:40the underlying code logic it gets completely rewritten.
00:53:43Ellicott, we were right about the original direction of the deduction.
00:53:47Your intuition is incredible, Ella.
00:53:50Once we fill in this data, we can prove the explosion all those years ago was deliberate sabotage.
00:54:19You bought the entire Alaska experimental base through dozens of shell companies.
00:54:25You sold off every share of Thorpe Global Group,
00:54:28spent every last dime to keep her life support running,
00:54:31the once untouchable king of Wall Street,
00:54:34now hiding in a janitor's closet, mopping her floors?
00:54:37Why are you hiding from her, Caleb?
00:54:39Don't tell her.
00:54:40You spent 20 years of your life for this, just to be a janitor?
00:54:47Just let her think I'm still in Manhattan,
00:54:50living the high life with Serena.
00:54:52Please, don't tell her.
00:54:54Look at me now, Elliot.
00:54:56I'll only sicken her like this.
00:54:58Please, don't tell her.
00:55:31Remember this notion.
00:55:39Who wrote this?
00:55:40The deduction is flawless.
00:55:42I'm a coward.
00:55:44What?
00:55:45Forget it.
00:55:46We'll redo it with our own data.
00:56:08Mrs. Bennett, this is everything left in Mr. Thorne's name.
00:56:12He signed over full control of all of it to you.
00:56:14Everything left?
00:56:16The once king of Wall Street is playing the pity card with this cheap trick now?
00:56:19Sirs, his health is in terrible shape.
00:56:22He only hopes you'll accept this.
00:56:23It's all he has left to give you.
00:56:29Go back and tell him this.
00:56:31He can't buy my forgiveness with money.
00:56:34Never.
00:56:36Never.
00:56:47Serena Huntington?
00:56:50Ella Bennett, 20 whole years, and you haven't aged a day.
00:56:56How the hell is that fair?
00:56:58What happened to the Huntington family, princess?
00:57:01Didn't Caleb get you a good stylist?
00:57:05Caleb?
00:57:06You actually thought he married me?
00:57:08Let go of me.
00:57:09You're drunk.
00:57:09The second you stepped into that cryopod, that lunatic tore up the engagement in front of everyone.
00:57:15He burned every bridge with the Huntington family.
00:57:18He sold off every core share of Thornt Global, even mortgaged the Hampton estate.
00:57:23Poured every last cent into that goddamned cryo project.
00:57:25He went bankrupt, ended up half paralyzed, turned into a no-build dog just to keep your vitals going.
00:57:30What are you so proud of, Ella?
00:57:32You think you ever paid him back?
00:57:34Caleb?
00:57:35Caleb?
00:57:37Caleb?
00:57:38Caleb?
00:57:51Mr. Thorne.
00:57:56Mr. Thorne.
00:57:57Ella's attachment to you has gone far beyond normal bounds.
00:58:00This is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:58:03I gave her the best of everything Manhattan has to offer.
00:58:05But you have also stripped her of the chance to grow as an independent person.
00:58:09If you do not push her away, cut off this toxic dynamic, she will never be anything more than your
00:58:13accessories.
00:58:14You have to be the villain.
00:58:15You have to shatter every last fantasy she has about you.
00:58:26So that is what this was.
00:58:34Caleb's Thorne.
00:58:37That engagement was just a business deal between me and Caleb.
00:58:41He bailed my family out of financial ruin.
00:58:44And I helped him break your heart for good.
00:58:46That peanut butter salad wasn't Caleb's doing.
00:58:49It was all a mistake.
00:59:05Open the archives.
00:59:07Now!
00:59:08You'll regret seeing this, Ella.
00:59:09I said open it!
00:59:11I want to see everything Caleb left behind.
00:59:12All of it!
00:59:13All of it!
00:59:23It's not possible
00:59:26They were all supposed to be gone
00:59:30Stop it
00:59:32Open
00:59:34God damn it, open
00:59:39She can't die
00:59:54Why?
00:59:56Why didn't you let me die 20 years ago?
01:00:04Why did you take away my right to even hate you?
01:00:09I can't do this
01:00:11I can't do this
01:00:15Hello?
01:00:27What is this?
01:00:29Trust fund beneficiary change
01:00:32Manhattan deed
01:00:3420 years
01:00:37But that's
01:00:39The day I woke up
01:00:41Today's my 24th birthday
01:00:43I got the faculty offer
01:00:46From Fairkitch
01:00:48You said once I had it
01:00:49You'd consider us
01:00:52I spent millions raising you
01:00:54And this is how you repay me?
01:00:55With this filthy little scheme?
01:00:57I just love you, Caleb
01:00:58Love?
01:01:00You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around
01:01:02You read a few books
01:01:03And you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
01:01:11You think these worthless pieces of paper
01:01:14Can make up
01:01:16For what you did to me?
01:01:30No
01:01:31This isn't real
01:01:37I'll wake you up
01:01:39I swear I will
01:01:46I'm sorry, Ella
01:01:47I spent the gift money on a backup power supply for your pod
01:01:51Short 3k for maintenance today
01:01:53Sold the watch
01:01:54You idiot!
01:01:56You think giving me everything will make me forgive you?
01:02:02Hide well, Daddy
01:02:04I'm coming for you
01:02:09Miss Bennett
01:02:10Sign here
01:02:12And the experimental base Mr. Thocker owns
01:02:14Will be legally transferred to you
01:02:23Congratulations, Miss Bennett
01:02:24You are now the youngest tycoon in New York
01:02:34Mrs. Bennett
01:02:35Mr. Thorn told me not to say anything
01:02:37But I have to
01:02:38He did not leave because he wanted to
01:02:40He just
01:02:40He did not know how to face you
01:02:4224 and perfect
01:02:43With his broken, old, paralyzed body
01:02:52Genius astrophysist Ella Bennett
01:02:54Who was frozen for 20 years
01:02:55Has announced her return to the public eye
01:02:58Wall Street sources say
01:02:59She has inherited a mysterious fortune
01:03:01Making her New York Sueist financial palachor
01:03:04Food is here
01:03:05Just soup today
01:03:09Ella Bennett
01:03:29This is all Daddy has left to give you
01:03:37Fly free, Kitty
01:03:39Don't let these rotting bones
01:03:41Sully your eyes
01:03:49It is right here, ma'am
01:03:52Get lost
01:04:02Who told you to come here?
01:04:05Get out!
01:04:06Get out!
01:04:14Go away
01:04:17Don't look
01:04:20Stop it
01:04:21Where did you think you'd run to, Caleb?
01:04:24You spent 20 years and every last cent
01:04:26To trap me in this body
01:04:28Now you think you can just walk away?
01:04:30I have nothing left
01:04:34You still have your life
01:04:37You're crazy
01:04:39You've lost your mind
01:04:45You don't get to die without my permission
01:04:49Get Mr. Thorne in the car
01:04:51Gentle
01:04:52Don't hurt his legs
01:04:53Don't hurt his legs
01:04:54Ella Bennett
01:04:55You can't do this
01:04:58Don't be scared, Daddy
01:05:00From today on
01:05:02I'm the one taking care of you
01:05:14What the hell is this?
01:05:15You're awake
01:05:19Get that off
01:05:21I don't need it
01:05:29Don't bother fighting it
01:05:31From now on
01:05:33I decide everything about you
01:05:40Ella
01:05:41Look at me
01:05:42You don't get to look away in this room
01:05:47What are you hiding from?
01:05:50No
01:05:51You can't handle this already?
01:05:54I
01:05:57Eyes closed
01:06:01What are you?
01:06:03You didn't actually think I wanted your old broken body, did you, Caleb?
01:06:09Don't touch me
01:06:17No
01:06:25No
01:06:34Hello, Caleb
01:06:35Get out
01:06:37Should I call the nurse in?
01:06:38No
01:06:39Wait for me outside
01:06:40Got it
01:06:46What are you throwing a fit about?
01:06:49Why did you bring him here?
01:06:52I'm not even dead yet
01:06:53And you're already rushing to bring another man into our home
01:07:01Are you jealous?
01:07:03I'm not
01:07:04Be with whoever you want, I don't care
01:07:12Elliot's staying the night
01:07:13Remember what you said
01:07:14And keep quiet
01:07:32No
01:07:33She is mine
01:07:35And mine alone
01:07:44But
01:07:44I know I am a sinner
01:07:46All those years ago
01:07:48I used my power and my money to lure that innocent girl in
01:07:52I ruined her
01:07:55But
01:07:56I cannot bring myself
01:07:58To wish her happiness
01:08:00I cannot stand to watch her walk away to another man
01:08:04I want to drag her back into this dark room with me
01:08:07Even if I am nothing but a broken old man now
01:08:14Come back
01:08:21Was that convincing enough for you?
01:08:24Perfect
01:08:25He is probably losing his mind in there right now
01:08:31You know he does not have much time left
01:08:33Why are you torturing him like this?
01:08:36Because torture is the only way he ever taught me to show love
01:08:39Only when he lets go of that stubborn pride of his can we ever have anything real between us
01:08:50Mr. Thorne
01:08:51These are the medical decision making power and full guardianship documents
01:08:55Once you sign
01:08:56Every second of the rest of your life
01:08:58Even the right to live or die
01:09:01Will belong to Mrs. Bennet
01:09:03I'm all yours now
01:09:04Do whatever you want to get your revenge
01:09:07I'll take it all
01:09:08Everyone out
01:09:20If only you'd surrendered sooner, daddy
01:09:25Yeah
01:09:25I surrender
01:09:33Look
01:09:33It's the same view we had from the penthouse over Central Park
01:09:37Time stood still there
01:09:38Just like the 20 years I waited for you
01:09:55What are you looking at?
01:09:57Daddy, I'm looking at Manhattan
01:09:58It's so bright at night
01:10:03Every light in Manhattan
01:10:05Will shine for you, baby girl
01:10:18When Elik looks at you
01:10:19I want him gone
01:10:21You can't even stand up on your own
01:10:23How are you going to make him disappear?
01:10:26I know this body's failing me
01:10:30But when I see him touch you
01:10:32It feels like there's a fire burning in my chest
01:10:38I'm jealous of every man that gets to hold you
01:10:42Hell, I'm even jealous of the wind outside
01:10:44Because it gets to touch you
01:10:47So tell me now
01:10:49Was it worth it?
01:10:51Trading 20 years of your life
01:10:53And every last cent you had to wake me up?
01:10:56Worth it
01:10:57I told you
01:10:58No one takes you from me without my permission
01:11:05It's still beating
01:11:08Every beat is a reminder that you're a sinner
01:11:10Then let this sinner
01:11:12Rot in your hell for eternity
01:11:16Even when it stops beating
01:11:18You don't get to run
01:11:20Your ashes are going to sit on my nightstand
01:11:24You owe me a debt
01:11:25And you're going to pay it with your soul
01:11:29Okay
01:11:31My life
01:11:32My soul
01:11:34It's all yours
01:11:50Are you cold?
01:11:52No
01:11:59You shouldn't have brought me here
01:12:02Everyone's staring at you
01:12:03Carrying a paralyzed old man
01:12:05Then let them stare
01:12:06Let them see
01:12:09When you were 12
01:12:10I brought you here
01:12:11You stared at the cotton candy stand for ages
01:12:15You bought the whole cart
01:12:17But wouldn't let me have a single bite
01:12:19I've always been a controlling bastard
01:12:23It's too late to admit that now
01:12:30What did the doctor say to you?
01:12:32Why'd you bring me out here today?
01:12:34The doctor said your vitals are stable
01:12:36Okay
01:12:37I'll listen to you always
01:12:40Back then
01:12:40I always walked ahead
01:12:42Handling business
01:12:43And I always followed three steps behind you
01:12:46You don't have to chase my shadow anymore
01:12:50We're not going anywhere, Caleb
01:12:58On your 18th birthday
01:12:59You talked back to me
01:13:00So I locked you in the penthouse for three days
01:13:03After that
01:13:04I sent my assistant here
01:13:05To pick out the biggest pink diamond
01:13:07They had for you
01:13:08You always tried to shut me up
01:13:09With checks and jewelry
01:13:11Bought my silence with money
01:13:13Back then
01:13:15I didn't know how to keep you
01:13:17All I knew how to do
01:13:18Was the stupidest
01:13:19Most hurtful thing possible
01:13:22Wait here for me
01:13:32Ella, get up
01:13:33Ella
01:13:34What are you doing?
01:13:35Get up
01:13:36I'm a broken old man
01:13:39I can't give you a future
01:13:41Once you locked me up with your money
01:13:43Now I'm locking your soul up with this ring
01:13:49You owe me 20 years
01:13:50You can never pay it back in this lifetime
01:13:53This ring is a mark
01:13:56Even when you die
01:13:57Your soul is mine
01:14:03Caleb
01:14:04You're my only home
01:14:13Mr. Thorne
01:14:14Mr. Thorne
01:14:14This is the subatomic Dishian authorization you requested
01:14:17Once activated
01:14:18Your remains will be converted into energy particles
01:14:20Of specific wavelength
01:14:21Dispersed into the universe
01:14:32Ella
01:14:34I'm here
01:14:36The doctor said hearing is the last sense to go when you die
01:14:41I'll keep talking to you right here
01:14:44Until you can't hear me anymore
01:14:51I trapped you here
01:14:52And now I'm running away first
01:14:58You signed the papers
01:15:00You can't run away
01:15:04I'm gonna become a wavelength now
01:15:06So when the wind blows
01:15:08When the snow falls
01:15:09When you look up at the night sky
01:15:11That'll be me
01:15:12Watching over you
01:15:15You'll always be with me
01:15:16No matter what form you take
01:15:17You'll always be mine
01:15:18I love you
01:15:21Caleb loves Ella
01:15:45May he rest in peace
01:15:47Goodbye, Caleb
01:15:48We'll miss you
01:15:51I love you
01:15:57Miss Bennett
01:15:58The funeral's over
01:15:59The press is all outside
01:16:01And the Thorne Global Board
01:16:02Is expecting you to show up soon
01:16:04To stabilize the stock price
01:16:06Let them wait
01:16:07Your clothes are soaked through
01:16:09Before he passed
01:16:10Mr. Thorne told me to take care of you
01:16:13No matter what
01:16:14He's dead
01:16:16You don't have to follow his orders anymore
01:16:20But
01:16:21Take the umbrella and leave
01:16:32You think dying means
01:16:34I can't find you anymore?
01:16:59I can't believe it
01:17:01How did you
01:17:13Ella
01:17:15If you are reading this
01:17:17I am dead and you are awake
01:17:20That night at the dinner party
01:17:21Watching you choke and collapse
01:17:23That was the worst mistake of my life
01:17:25But I do not regret it
01:17:27You had the same fire in your eyes as your parents
01:17:29You did not deserve to be locked up in a penthouse in Manhattan
01:17:32A pet that only survived by clinging to me
01:17:35If pushing you away was the only way to save you
01:17:39I would be the devil a thousand times over
01:17:45Go finish the work your parents started
01:17:48That is where your soul belongs
01:17:50Do not look back
01:17:53I will be with you always
01:17:55In the subatomic particles
01:17:58Forever by your side
01:18:00The letter was written in code
01:18:02A language only the two of them could understand
01:18:05It was a desperate plea for help
01:18:08A last ditch effort to save the woman he loved
01:18:13I just
01:18:15I can't do this alone
01:18:28This is your fourth all-nighter in a row
01:18:30I've put all of Caleb's secret funding and unpublished patents up as collateral for this project
01:18:34The money's burning fast
01:18:35We need results before the board stages of co
01:18:37The subatomic noise data collected over those 20 years in crypto is massive
01:18:41Reverse engineering the logical flaws in the explosion 16 years ago is going to take a long time to compute
01:18:45We keep missing 0.02% on the critical value for the high energy particle stabilization experiment
01:18:51That's the exact same number my parents got stuck on 16 years ago
01:18:54There's a flaw in the base logic
01:18:56Go sleep in the lounge for two hours
01:18:58I'll watch the data
01:19:00No
01:19:01This is my work
01:19:02You go cross-check the fluctuation frequency on the B group perimeter
01:19:06I'll build the core model
01:19:07Got it
01:19:08Call me if anything comes up
01:19:24My god
01:19:25Project Lazarus
01:19:27It's happening
01:19:34You look and gonna did to say it
01:19:36It were not due frang to any installs
01:19:38He's just to have a the commander
01:19:40Enough Ella
01:19:41Look at yourself
01:19:43Are you trying to avenge your parents or join them in death?
01:19:53I am not trying to die
01:19:54I found something
01:19:59This is a reconstruction of the final 10 seconds of my parents' experiment 16 years ago
01:20:05Someone manually implanted a catastrophic code into the base system
01:20:09Which caused the explosion
01:20:12So this was not a scientific accident
01:20:14It was murder?
01:20:15It was
01:20:17Did Mr. Thorne
01:20:18Did he know about this?
01:20:22If he was the mastermind
01:20:23He never would have saved me
01:20:24But he definitely knew something
01:20:27Where are you going?
01:20:29To find the truth
01:20:38Physical restoration is complete
01:20:41This is the last communication record pulled from the wreckage of the backup server from 16 years ago
01:20:46Play it
01:20:47If they won't sell the tech, then we make it disappear with the genius couple
01:20:52Clean it up
01:20:53No loose ends
01:20:56So that's what happened
01:20:58What?
01:20:59All these years, Caleb thought it was a flaw in his lab system that killed my parents indirectly
01:21:06Arthur didn't just kill my parents
01:21:08He used it to make Caleb live with guilt for the rest of his life
01:21:12Oh my god
01:21:13That's it
01:21:16I'm not letting him get away with this
01:21:21You're moving in for the takedown?
01:21:22Yeah
01:21:23I'm gonna make him pay back every cent of this 40-year blood debt
01:21:27With interest
01:21:29Seal all the original evidence and code
01:21:33Max out the encryption level
01:21:42Today, on behalf of Thornt Industries
01:21:45I am proud to unveil this groundbreaking particle stabilization technology to the world
01:21:54Before you steal someone's life's work, Mr. Sterling, shouldn't you check if the rightful heir is still alive?
01:21:59Security, get her out of here
01:22:03If they won't sell the tech, then we make it disappear with the genius couple
01:22:07Clean it up, no loose ends
01:22:09Sixteen years ago, you hacked into my parents' lab
01:22:13Stole their algorithm and implanted a catastrophic code into the base system
01:22:18You locked the backup cooling valves, causing that irreversible explosion
01:22:23Ridiculous!
01:22:23A fake simulation and a docked audio clip won't convict me!
01:22:27The encrypted transfer paths for your stolen data
01:22:29The offshore account flows for your stock shortage
01:22:32Federal prosecutors already have all of it
01:22:40You think taking me down will bring Thorne Global back from the dead?
01:22:49Arthur Sterling
01:22:52Everything you lost today
01:22:53Is just the interest
01:23:06It's over, Ella
01:23:12Let's go
01:23:21The Thorne Global Board voted unanimously
01:23:23The Caleb Thorne Research Fund, named after Mr. Thorne, will officially launch tomorrow
01:23:28The Science and Technology Museum has cleared the Central Exhibition Hall
01:23:34Send these over there
01:23:46For Caleb, who saw the beauty in the broken
01:23:49And for us, who are finally ready to remember
01:24:01Arthur's been transferred to a maximum security prison, no bail
01:24:04Thorne Global's stock is up five points today
01:24:07Thank you
01:24:10Everything's back on track now
01:24:11Ella, it's time for you to start your life over
01:24:13This is my life now
01:24:14You know what I mean
01:24:17Ella, Caleb's gone
01:24:19He's subatomic particles in the universe now
01:24:21If you'll let me
01:24:22As long as his wavelength is still out there
01:24:24He's not gone
01:24:41Ella, put your coat on
01:24:47Your health belongs to me
01:24:49Don't catch a cold
01:24:50I'm not cold
01:24:51I'm not cold anymore, Daddy
01:24:53Once you locked me in that penthouse
01:24:56Controlling me with your love
01:24:59This time, I'm the one locking you up in my signal
01:25:09He kept transmitting this frequency into deep space
01:25:13For the entire 20 years I was frozen
01:25:16Trying to find a singularity in the universe
01:25:20To fold time back on itself
01:25:26Daddy, what are you looking at?
01:25:30At time
01:25:31If time could be folded
01:25:33So many things could be undone
01:25:48Caleb, what exactly did you want me to hear?
01:25:53Is the agreement ready?
01:25:55Mr. Thorne
01:25:56Once you sign this
01:25:57She will be entirely in your custody
01:25:59But if you do this
01:26:00She will hate you for the rest of her life
01:26:03She has to hate me
01:26:05Only if she hates me
01:26:06Will she stay far away
01:26:07From the experiment my parents worked on
01:26:09I can't let Arthur kill her too
01:26:12Lock her up
01:26:14Even if she thinks I'm a monster
01:26:15At least she'll be alive
01:26:27I heard you, Caleb
01:26:36System
01:26:37Disengage the biosecurity lock
01:26:40Force sync my consciousness frequency
01:26:42To the subatomic target
01:26:43Warning
01:26:44Force synchronization will result in brain death
01:26:47Do you wish to proceed?
01:26:51Proceed
01:26:58Daddy
01:27:04Daddy
01:27:05Daddy
01:27:05Don't go
01:27:08I'm not going anywhere
01:27:20Caleb
01:27:21Caleb
01:27:21I'm coming for you
01:27:25Do you know what our answer is?
01:27:31There's nothing I fear
01:27:35And i know that love
01:27:39In the first place
