Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Maya Watson. Four years in Warrant Prison. Today, I'm finally getting out.
00:00:08Maya! Someone from the Morgan family is here to pick you up!
00:00:11My hand freezes. I was the daughter of the Morgan family.
00:00:17Everything changes when the police knock on our door and reveal they've found Richard and Fansa's real daughter, Rosanna Morgan.
00:00:24In an instant, my identity was taken away. I was labeled a fraud. Worse still, at Rosanna's urging, they framed
00:00:32me and sent me to prison.
00:00:35Today marks the day I'm finally free. The massive gates creak open. I walk out into the sunlight.
00:00:43Maya! My dear daughter! I came to bring you home.
00:00:48You must be mistaken, Mrs. Morgan. I'm not your daughter.
00:00:55How could you say that? I raised you for 17 years.
00:01:00Four years ago, you framed me and cast me out. You called me a Watson. You signed papers cutting all
00:01:05ties.
00:01:06The reporters explode with questions. Sandra's perfect image is cracking.
00:01:10Maya, please don't hate me. I never meant to steal your space.
00:01:15Save the tears. I was no longer a Morgan the moment you erased me.
00:01:20I walk away. I don't look back. That girl they knew died four years ago.
00:01:32The Morgans think I can't survive without them. They're wrong.
00:01:36Today, I need to fulfill a promise.
00:01:38Zoe saved me in prison and required a marriage agreement in return for her.
00:01:42The suffering I endured in prison was unrelenting. I agreed to the deal.
00:01:46Outside City Hall, I wait for the man I've never met. Chris Cooper. The Cooper family's illegitimate son.
00:01:53Are you Miss Maya Watson?
00:01:55I look up. I freeze. He's more handsome than any man I've ever seen.
00:02:01Is this really the good-for-nothing illegitimate son?
00:02:05Mr. Chris Cooper?
00:02:06You've been staring for a while now, Miss Watson.
00:02:09I snap back to reality. We walk into City Hall.
00:02:18When we come back out, a marriage certificate is in my hand.
00:02:22I'll keep my end of the bargain, Mr. Cooper.
00:02:25Once Zoe's request is fulfilled, I won't stick around. I'll file for divorce right after.
00:02:32Is my aunt doing okay in there?
00:02:34She's healthy. Nothing bad has happened to her.
00:02:37My reply is an understatement.
00:02:39Zoe didn't just survive in prison. She thrived.
00:02:42Glad to hear it.
00:02:44Here. A little something to welcome you in.
00:02:47He was the first to welcome me.
00:02:49That's not necessary. I've got my own money.
00:02:52We just completed the marriage registration.
00:02:54That makes me your husband.
00:02:56That gives you every right to use my money.
00:02:58Husband.
00:02:59The word sends a faint flush across my face.
00:03:05I return to the Morgan estate.
00:03:07For Vicky's bracelet.
00:03:09The last gift she ever gave me.
00:03:11Though no blood tied us together.
00:03:12Her love was as real as any grandmother's.
00:03:18Is that really you, Miss Morgan?
00:03:20I can't believe you're here.
00:03:23I am no longer a member of the Morgan family.
00:03:25I'm just here to pick up a few of my things.
00:03:31Miss, after you were imprisoned, Miss Morgan cleared everything out.
00:03:35Your old room, it's just a storage room now.
00:03:38Everything?
00:03:39Did they throw away Vicky's bracelet too?
00:03:41I turned to see Jared, Sandra, and Rosanna standing behind me.
00:03:46I knew you'd show your face again, Maya.
00:03:48With a record like yours, no one's gonna hire you.
00:03:51Admit everything now.
00:03:52Post a public apology.
00:03:54And maybe we'll let you stick around out of pity.
00:03:57I walk past him, heading straight toward Rosanna.
00:04:01Where are my things, Rosanna?
00:04:04What things, Maya?
00:04:05I have no idea what you're going on about.
00:04:07This is the last time I'll ask.
00:04:10Where did you put everything that was in my room?
00:04:12I didn't mean anything by it.
00:04:14I thought they'd wear out if I left them there too long.
00:04:17My hand strikes her cheek.
00:04:19Red marks bloom across her skin.
00:04:22She clutches her cheek, eyes wide with disbelief.
00:04:25She probably never thought the doormat she used to bully would dare to fight back now.
00:04:30Rosanna, if you thought I'd still swallow every humiliation like I used to, you couldn't be more wrong.
00:04:35No one can bully me anymore.
00:04:37This slap is merely the start.
00:04:39I will not only reclaim my bracelet, but also make the entire Morgan family pay back every last thing they
00:04:44owe me, bit by bit.
00:04:50Maya, you've completely lost it. Apologize. Now!
00:04:54After slapping Rosanna, Jared and Sandra blow up instantly.
00:04:57They surround me, blaming me for everything.
00:04:59As if I was the one in the wrong all along.
00:05:02I'm the one who gave permission to throw out your things.
00:05:04Rosanna only meant well.
00:05:06You've always known I can't stand people touching my belongings.
00:05:10And still, you let her throw them out.
00:05:16Did you even realize that Vicky's bracelet was among them?
00:05:20Let me remind you of your place.
00:05:22You're not one of us.
00:05:25That keepsake was always meant for a true Morgan.
00:05:31Even if it were still around, Rosanna would have every right to it.
00:05:36Here.
00:05:37Enough for your little trinket.
00:05:41Consider it charity.
00:05:44He thinks money could solve everything.
00:05:46He thinks it could erase his guilt.
00:05:49Looking at the money at my feet, I feel a searing disgust.
00:05:52I go to pick it up.
00:05:54And tear it into pieces in front of them.
00:05:58I'd rather have nothing than take anything from you.
00:06:01We picked you up from prison this morning, Maya.
00:06:04Don't bother returning once you leave.
00:06:06You made your choice.
00:06:07It ends here.
00:06:08Drop the app.
00:06:09You're not fooling anyone.
00:06:11You called the press yourselves.
00:06:12Was that supposed to be a warm welcome?
00:06:14Or just a performance to make yourselves look like saints?
00:06:17You know exactly what you were doing.
00:06:19I walked away.
00:06:20Never once turning back.
00:06:25I'll remember every bit of today's humiliation.
00:06:28The Morgans and I have a long list to settle, and I'm just getting started.
00:06:34Not a minute after stepping out of the Morgan estate, I pull out my phone and make a single call.
00:06:40Cut off all dealings with the Morgan family.
00:06:43Effective immediately.
00:06:45The Morgans and I, we're done.
00:06:49I turn to walk away as I collide into a solid figure.
00:06:53Maya?
00:06:54Vince Ward.
00:06:55The son of Rond powerful Ward family.
00:06:58My ex-fiancé.
00:07:00Out of instinct, I yank my arm free and put space between us.
00:07:05You came back.
00:07:07You must be here for Rosanna, Mr. Ward.
00:07:09I hear the engagements come up.
00:07:11I just wanted to make sure you were alright.
00:07:12Seems like your concerns are pointed in the wrong direction, Mr. Ward.
00:07:16Shouldn't it be aimed at your girlfriend?
00:07:18Imagine Rosanna catching you circling around me.
00:07:22I turn to leave.
00:07:24His hand shoots out, grabbing my wrist.
00:07:26If you're still willing to be mine, I'm ready to leave the past behind us.
00:07:31Vince, even if every man except you in the world were gone, I would never be with you.
00:07:35Let go.
00:07:36He wraps an arm around my waist and leans forward, trying to steal a kiss.
00:07:40I don't hesitate.
00:07:41My knee shoots up fast and brutal, catching him right where it hurts the most.
00:07:45Consider that your first and only warning.
00:07:48Come near me again, and I won't hold back.
00:07:51I look down at Vince writhing on the ground and feel nothing but disgust.
00:07:55All that talk about caring for me.
00:07:57Just a pathetic excuse to take advantage when I'm at my lowest.
00:08:00Vin, you're even worse than the Morgans.
00:08:06I arrive at the apartment Zoe arranged.
00:08:12The moment I step inside, a message pops up on my phone.
00:08:15Maya, I heard you and Chris got your marriage license.
00:08:18Here's a little wedding gift.
00:08:20I hope it's enough.
00:08:21A transfer.
00:08:23One million.
00:08:25Zoe, you really didn't have to send this much.
00:08:27Did you just say too much?
00:08:30You think it's hard for me to make this money?
00:08:33I don't even know how to respond.
00:08:35For someone like her, money flows like tap water.
00:08:38Remember what you promised.
00:08:39Keep my identity under wraps.
00:08:41That includes Chris.
00:08:43Relax.
00:08:44I won't spill a word.
00:08:46I've prepared a little surprise for you.
00:08:48Don't let me down.
00:08:50I frown.
00:08:51Surprise?
00:08:52What does that mean?
00:08:54Anyway, I'm going to take a shower.
00:08:57The next second, the apartment door creaks open from the outside.
00:09:02Chris is standing in the doorway.
00:09:06Scattered across the floor near his feet are the clothes I tossed off earlier.
00:09:10And me?
00:09:11I'm sitting here in just my camisole.
00:09:13I freeze on the spot, my mind screaming one question.
00:09:16How does he have the key to this place?
00:09:18Zoe, this is your idea of a surprise?
00:09:21I want nothing more than to sink straight through the floor right now.
00:09:27My arms immediately cross over my chest.
00:09:29I turn my back to him.
00:09:31Tell me, Mr. Cooper.
00:09:33If I said I'm not the kind of woman you think I am,
00:09:37would you believe it?
00:09:39He crouches down, lifts my clothes, and folds them into a tidy pile.
00:09:46And what exactly do you think you are?
00:09:49I open my mouth.
00:09:51Nothing comes out.
00:09:53Why are you even here?
00:09:54Well, this is my place.
00:09:55What?
00:09:56Zoe sent me to stay here.
00:09:57She didn't mention it belonged to Chris.
00:09:59She must have hidden that from me on purpose.
00:10:00A light chert is draped over my shoulders.
00:10:02I catch the faint, lingering scent of his cologne.
00:10:05Aunt Zoe told me she set everything up.
00:10:07We're married now.
00:10:09Treat this place like your own.
00:10:10I appreciate it.
00:10:12Sorry for the inconvenience.
00:10:14Shall I take that room?
00:10:15You don't have to be formal in your own home.
00:10:18If you'd rather we shared a room, I wouldn't turn you down.
00:10:22My eyes go wide in an instant.
00:10:25I prefer to sleep alone.
00:10:27I scoop up my clothes without another word
00:10:29and head to the guest room,
00:10:30shutting the door quietly behind me.
00:10:32My heart is pounding.
00:10:34This man is dangerous.
00:10:36I have to remember what I promised Zoe.
00:10:39Help Chris take power,
00:10:40then get a divorce.
00:10:45I can't fall for him.
00:10:49The next day,
00:10:50Chris accompanies me shopping for clothes.
00:10:52As I wander past racks of women's wear,
00:10:55I slow at the sight of a shop
00:10:56with a lavish, refined layout.
00:10:58MCN,
00:10:58the brand I founded with my friend Patty.
00:11:00I serve as the head designer Eileen behind the scenes
00:11:02while Patty acts as the public face of MCN.
00:11:04The dress displayed in the window is my design.
00:11:06The blue sea dress.
00:11:08You like it?
00:11:08Why not go in and give it a try?
00:11:10Temptation stirs inside me,
00:11:12but the price gives me pause.
00:11:14Dropping a forgin on my first shopping trip with him
00:11:16doesn't feel right.
00:11:17I turn to leave.
00:11:19Come on in and take a look, miss.
00:11:20We're running a fitting event and scouting for models.
00:11:23Just then, Chris's phone begins to ring.
00:11:25Wait for me.
00:11:25He asks me to wait and steps outside.
00:11:31I step into the store alone.
00:11:33My eyes wander over the displays.
00:11:35Every piece is my hard work with my friend.
00:11:38I point to the blue sea.
00:11:39Would it be all great if I tried that one on?
00:11:42Well, if it isn't the Morgan family's little fraud.
00:11:46You spent four years in prison, didn't you?
00:11:52I turn and see Rosanna and her friend Stacy.
00:11:55Come on, Stacy.
00:11:56Please don't say things like that.
00:11:58She's my sister.
00:11:59You're too forgiving for your own good.
00:12:01She stole Radiant Jewel's most prized piece
00:12:03and tried to make it look like you did it.
00:12:05Four years in prison.
00:12:06I believe she has changed.
00:12:08For a moment, her words almost make me believe.
00:12:11She just got out of jail and thinks she can walk into a luxury store?
00:12:13That dress is worth more than her entire life's savings.
00:12:21We'll take that dress.
00:12:22I'm sorry, ladies.
00:12:23That gown isn't available for purchase.
00:12:27Only Supreme VIP members of MCN can place an order for it.
00:12:30Supreme VIP.
00:12:31These are elite patrons who spend over $7 million annually
00:12:34and are personally approved by Patty.
00:12:39What are you standing around for?
00:12:45I'm sorry, miss.
00:12:47But I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:12:49Are you serious?
00:12:50Is that how MCN handles its Supreme VIPs?
00:12:54You?
00:12:54A Supreme VIP?
00:12:56You were in prison.
00:12:57You don't even have pocket change.
00:12:59Did you hit your head?
00:13:00My account number starts with five zeros.
00:13:02The password is MW15087.
00:13:06Go ahead, check it.
00:13:07If I'm lying, I'll walk out on my own.
00:13:09But if I'm telling the truth,
00:13:10I want both of them banned from MCN.
00:13:12And you should toss them out.
00:13:14If you turn out to be a Supreme VIP,
00:13:16I'll apologize.
00:13:18But if you're not,
00:13:19you're going to apologize.
00:13:22Deal.
00:13:22I've never lost a bet before,
00:13:24and I'm not starting now.
00:13:25The saleswoman goes to check.
00:13:26Rosanna keeps up her act,
00:13:28pretending to care.
00:13:29Maya, hardly anyone in Wirt has it.
00:13:31Just walk away now before you embarrass yourself.
00:13:38Don't ever speak to me like that again.
00:13:40Your hypocrisy makes me sick.
00:13:44The saleswoman returns.
00:13:46Everything about her has changed.
00:13:48Miss, I'm so sorry.
00:13:50I failed to recognize your identity
00:13:52and treated you with disrespect.
00:13:53No way!
00:13:54That's impossible, right?
00:13:55She probably stole someone else's account.
00:13:57There's no mistake.
00:13:58She holds the highest tier
00:13:59Supreme VIP status at MCN.
00:14:01The mall manager arrives.
00:14:03You're now blacklisted
00:14:04for spreading false accusations
00:14:05and slandering a valued customer.
00:14:07You need to leave.
00:14:08Right now.
00:14:08Have you lost your mind?
00:14:09Do you even know who I am?
00:14:11The security guards stand behind him.
00:14:12They don't dare push further.
00:14:14They try to leave,
00:14:15but I block their way.
00:14:16Weren't you the one who said
00:14:17you'd kneel and apologize if you lost?
00:14:19Don't test me, Maya.
00:14:21You don't want to cross someone
00:14:22who's been through prison.
00:14:23You don't need to kneel,
00:14:25but you must apologize sincerely.
00:14:27I'm truly sorry, Maya.
00:14:29They bolt out of the store.
00:14:30Chris enters from the main entrance,
00:14:32and just as one storm passed,
00:14:34another, much more welcome presence arrived.
00:14:36Care to explain what just went down?
00:14:38Just ran into a couple of Lunaturks
00:14:39who didn't know when to quit.
00:14:45The mall manager gives me a voucher.
00:14:47Anything I choose today is free.
00:14:49This turned out to be a hidden blessing.
00:14:53Looks like it's not quite as costy
00:14:55as we thought.
00:14:56I quickly tug his arm.
00:14:58I can't let him discover my true identity.
00:15:03Actually, I've had a second look,
00:15:05and the styles here
00:15:06don't really appeal to me.
00:15:10Let's check out another place.
00:15:12He glances at the dress in the window,
00:15:15a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
00:15:19Alright, let's go then.
00:15:21What I don't know is that this mall
00:15:23actually belongs to Chris.
00:15:27Inside the gleaming Rolls-Royce,
00:15:29I'm in a good mood.
00:15:30I sneak a look at Chris.
00:15:32Miss Watson, see something interesting?
00:15:34No.
00:15:35Nothing at all.
00:15:37If you keep looking at me like that,
00:15:38I might get the wrong idea.
00:15:40Might even think you're falling for me.
00:15:42You must be joking, Mr. Cooper.
00:15:44People don't just fall in love
00:15:45like flipping a switch.
00:15:47Really?
00:15:48You don't think love at first sight is real?
00:15:50I paused,
00:15:51recalling the first time I saw Vince.
00:15:53In a crisp white shirt,
00:15:54he was so handsome,
00:15:55he took my breath away.
00:15:56I've never put much faith
00:15:58in ideas like that.
00:15:59Well, I do.
00:16:00The night breeze drifted in,
00:16:02stirring unease in me.
00:16:03I quickly changed the subject.
00:16:05You must be starving by now.
00:16:06How about dinner?
00:16:07It's on me.
00:16:08I should be the one treating you.
00:16:10You picked out all those clothes
00:16:11for me today.
00:16:12It's only fair I return the favor.
00:16:14But I didn't actually pay for them.
00:16:17Doesn't matter.
00:16:19You put thought into it.
00:16:21That's what counts.
00:16:23A sudden flutter stirs in my chest.
00:16:25I keep silent.
00:16:32The car rolls to a smooth stop
00:16:34in front of a secluded,
00:16:35high-end restaurant.
00:16:36The design is elegant,
00:16:38polished.
00:16:38Places like this rarely come cheap.
00:16:42We step inside.
00:16:43The ambiance is serene and refined.
00:16:45Every seating area is enclosed
00:16:47with a screen for privacy.
00:16:51I sit by the window,
00:16:53admiring the moonlight.
00:16:54Chris looks at the menu.
00:16:59What's on your mind?
00:17:01Mr. Cooper,
00:17:02how possible is it to recover
00:17:04something thrown away
00:17:05four years ago?
00:17:06Most trash gets recycled
00:17:08or discarded.
00:17:09But after four years,
00:17:10even recyclable materials
00:17:12would be tough to track down.
00:17:14I feel sad at those words,
00:17:16but even though it's nearly impossible,
00:17:18I have to try to retrieve
00:17:19Vicky's bracelet.
00:17:21I send a message
00:17:22asking someone to trace
00:17:23the garbage records
00:17:24from four years ago.
00:17:32After the meal,
00:17:33I go to the restroom.
00:17:34I finish washing my hands.
00:17:35A tall figure blocks the light.
00:17:37I look up.
00:17:38It's Vince.
00:17:39His face is stiff.
00:17:40His expression unreadable.
00:17:43Please move aside.
00:17:45Tell me who that man is.
00:17:47That has nothing to do with you.
00:17:48I turn to leave.
00:17:50He grabs my wrist
00:17:51and yanks me back.
00:17:55He twists the lock.
00:17:57Alone now,
00:17:58the tension between us thickens.
00:18:00Vince, what are you doing?
00:18:01Maya,
00:18:02is someone keeping you?
00:18:04A guy in his forties?
00:18:07Is that really
00:18:08what you're chasing now?
00:18:09I don't even know
00:18:10what you're talking about.
00:18:11Move!
00:18:12He backs me up
00:18:13against the cold edge
00:18:14of the sink.
00:18:14He blocks me
00:18:15with his own leg,
00:18:16trapping me in place.
00:18:18How much did that man
00:18:19offer you?
00:18:22Come back to me.
00:18:24I'll pay you double.
00:18:26Vince,
00:18:27have you completely lost it?
00:18:29Back then,
00:18:30he never returned my love.
00:18:34Now that I've stopped
00:18:35chasing him,
00:18:36he can't let go.
00:18:37Vince, get a grip!
00:18:38You're Rosanna's boyfriend now!
00:18:39Let me go!
00:18:41Vince slowly reaches
00:18:43into his pocket
00:18:43and pulls out a bracelet.
00:18:45Silver.
00:18:45Delicate.
00:18:46Familiar.
00:18:46Twin hearts woven together.
00:18:49You used to like this one,
00:18:50didn't you?
00:18:51It's yours.
00:18:52I used to like it.
00:18:53The two hearts
00:18:54made me feel safe.
00:18:55Whole.
00:18:56I used to dream
00:18:57that he and I
00:18:57could be like that.
00:18:58Side by side.
00:19:00Never drifting apart.
00:19:01But that time has passed.
00:19:03Four years have gone by.
00:19:04I don't like it anymore.
00:19:06Maybe try giving it
00:19:07to Rosanna instead.
00:19:08Isn't she the one
00:19:09who worships jewelry?
00:19:10Are you jealous of Rosanna?
00:19:12I'm stunned.
00:19:13He thinks I'm jealous?
00:19:14That's ridiculous.
00:19:16This is about
00:19:16the engagement, isn't it?
00:19:18You're upset
00:19:19because I'm marrying her.
00:19:20It's fine.
00:19:21Even after I marry Rosanna,
00:19:22I'll still take care of you.
00:19:24This bracelet's worth
00:19:25400,000.
00:19:26Sincerity?
00:19:27He sees me as a plaything
00:19:28he can buy with glitter and gold.
00:19:30All right.
00:19:30I'm open to it.
00:19:31But I don't do secrets.
00:19:33Call Rosanna right now.
00:19:34Tell her you're keeping me too.
00:19:36If she's good with it,
00:19:37I'll think about saying yes.
00:19:38Vince's expression
00:19:39turns to stone.
00:19:41What's the matter?
00:19:42Scared she'll find out
00:19:43you're a liar and dump you?
00:19:44Then stop chasing after me.
00:19:47I slam the bracelet
00:19:48against his chest.
00:19:50It hits the floor
00:19:52with a sharp metallic clink.
00:19:56Maya, you're nothing
00:19:56but a discarded fraud
00:19:57from the Morgan family.
00:19:58A convict who spent
00:19:59four years in prison for theft.
00:20:01You think you're better
00:20:02than Rosanna?
00:20:02If I'm such trash to you,
00:20:04why can't you leave me alone?
00:20:05With your reputation,
00:20:06you've got women lining up
00:20:07to be your toy.
00:20:08So why keep clinging to me?
00:20:10Do you actually like
00:20:11being humiliated?
00:20:12Vince stands in stunned silence,
00:20:13his face shifting
00:20:14between disbelief
00:20:15and rising frustration.
00:20:17That suits Rosanna
00:20:18better anyway.
00:20:19She's always had a taste
00:20:20for leftovers.
00:20:21Maya, you'll regret this!
00:20:22Vince, do you know
00:20:23what I really regret?
00:20:24His expression darkens.
00:20:26What I regret most
00:20:27is ever loving you.
00:20:28Vince is trembling
00:20:29with rage.
00:20:30He gives me a hard shove,
00:20:32grabs the bracelet
00:20:33from the floor,
00:20:34and walks away.
00:20:35I lean against the sink,
00:20:37trying to gather myself.
00:20:40We return to the apartment.
00:20:42Chris puts down
00:20:43the shopping bags
00:20:44and checks his watch.
00:20:45You can leave everything
00:20:46here for now.
00:20:47You should get going.
00:20:48Don't miss your car wash appointment.
00:20:49We can sort this mess out
00:20:50together when I get back.
00:20:52I nod.
00:20:53But the second he's out the door,
00:20:54I roll up my sleeves
00:20:56and get to work.
00:20:57My phone buzz.
00:20:58It's Patty.
00:21:00Maya, you're out!
00:21:01And you didn't even tell me?
00:21:02I wouldn't have known a thing
00:21:03if someone hadn't spotted you
00:21:05at MCN today.
00:21:06I got swamped
00:21:07and forgot to call.
00:21:08But hey, you know now,
00:21:09don't you?
00:21:10I'm not letting you off
00:21:11that easy.
00:21:11You owe me.
00:21:12Meet me at Starlight Bar tonight.
00:21:14No excuses.
00:21:15It's getting late.
00:21:16Maybe tomorrow?
00:21:17Maybe tomorrow?
00:21:18You don't love me anymore,
00:21:19do you?
00:21:19It's only been four years
00:21:20and you've already
00:21:21forgotten about me?
00:21:22I chuckle.
00:21:23Four years apart.
00:21:24I've missed her too.
00:21:25Alright, darling.
00:21:26I'll head over
00:21:27after I finish up here.
00:21:29I hang up
00:21:30and quickly arrange
00:21:31the decorations I bought.
00:21:35Once everything's in place,
00:21:37the room feels
00:21:37completely refreshed
00:21:38and full of life.
00:21:40I send Chris a message.
00:21:41I left your clothes
00:21:42on the sofa.
00:21:43I have something
00:21:44to take care of.
00:21:45I'll be back later.
00:21:46Don't wait up.
00:21:50Starlight Bar.
00:21:50Warrant's most elite
00:21:51nightlife spot.
00:21:52A glittering playground
00:21:53for the wealthy.
00:21:54I give Patty's name
00:21:54at the entrance.
00:21:55When I find her booth,
00:21:56she's got a pretty boy
00:21:56on one side
00:21:57and another guy
00:21:58tipping a drink
00:21:58to her lips.
00:21:59Four years might have passed.
00:22:00Clearly Patty is still
00:22:01the queen of indulgence.
00:22:02Maya!
00:22:03I can't believe
00:22:04I'm really seeing you again.
00:22:06Well, here I am.
00:22:08Still in one piece.
00:22:09Come on.
00:22:10What's the story?
00:22:11How have you really been?
00:22:12Did anyone give you trouble?
00:22:13Because if someone
00:22:14even dared to bully you,
00:22:15I swear I'd hunt them
00:22:16down myself.
00:22:18Bully me?
00:22:19Please.
00:22:19I was the one
00:22:20calling the shots in there.
00:22:22That sounds exactly like you.
00:22:25I knew you'd hold your ground.
00:22:27But hold on.
00:22:28What is this get-up?
00:22:29This is so not
00:22:30your designer vibe.
00:22:32Take a wild guess.
00:22:38This is your finest design.
00:22:40I made sure to save
00:22:41a piece for you.
00:22:42No one carries that dress
00:22:43like you do.
00:22:43Come on,
00:22:44let me see you wear it.
00:22:49Here?
00:22:50Right now?
00:22:51Probably not the best moment.
00:22:52I fly to Varninsky tomorrow.
00:22:54Just want to see you
00:22:55in the blue sea dress,
00:22:56singing one more day.
00:22:58Just once more.
00:23:00That's it.
00:23:03One more day
00:23:04is a song I wrote
00:23:05back in high school.
00:23:07A tribute to my friendship
00:23:08with Patty.
00:23:09We used to lie on the grass,
00:23:12dreaming about our futures.
00:23:15Isn't Briella already singing that song
00:23:18every other minute?
00:23:19That doesn't count.
00:23:20She's a pop icon.
00:23:21She sings for her fans.
00:23:23You always sang it with more heart.
00:23:26You promised you'd lift my mood today.
00:23:28Sing it for me.
00:23:33But not long after,
00:23:35my life flipped upside down.
00:23:37I was framed,
00:23:38thrown into jail.
00:23:39The innocence we once shared
00:23:41is long gone.
00:23:42Fine.
00:23:43Just this once.
00:23:45Great!
00:23:45I already have everything ready!
00:23:47Just put the dress on
00:23:49and hit me up!
00:23:50For a moment,
00:23:51it felt like nothing had changed.
00:23:53Just for a moment.
00:23:57She wears a silver butterfly mask.
00:23:59The blue sea dress
00:24:00shimmers under the lights.
00:24:02She reaches the center of the stage.
00:24:18I don't feel
00:24:21I don't feel the way I should
00:24:25When I look at me
00:24:28Breaking
00:24:29Oh how can I make it
00:24:33My mind's always changing
00:24:36Those bloodstains
00:24:41I've never heard anyone sing
00:24:42One More Day quite like that.
00:24:44She definitely surpassed my expectations.
00:24:47Does anyone know who she is?
00:24:48She's completely new to me.
00:25:03So it really is you.
00:25:07Is there something you want?
00:25:10What's this?
00:25:11You showing up here now?
00:25:13Let me guess.
00:25:14You got kicked out by us,
00:25:16burned through your savings,
00:25:17and now you're here begging
00:25:18for tips through song?
00:25:20You may not carry the Morgan name anymore,
00:25:21but don't forget
00:25:22we shared 17 years as a family, Maya.
00:25:24Seeing you like this is just sad.
00:25:25Here's how this goes.
00:25:25You get on your knees,
00:25:26say you're sorry,
00:25:27admit you messed up.
00:25:28I might be generous
00:25:29and let you work as a maid.
00:25:30Of course the salary will be generous.
00:25:31And I'll tell everyone
00:25:32you're still the Morgan family's daughter.
00:25:33Not too shabby, right?
00:25:34Come on, Maya.
00:25:35He's given you a way back.
00:25:39At least being tied back to the Morgans
00:25:40might get you married off someday.
00:25:42Beats singing for drunks.
00:25:46Gerund,
00:25:47what makes you think
00:25:48I'd ever want to come back?
00:25:56So you're here to sing tonight, huh?
00:25:58What do you think the manager
00:25:59will do to you when he finds out?
00:26:04And believe me,
00:26:05once that secret's out,
00:26:07W. Ront won't hire you.
00:26:08No bar, no venue, no gig.
00:26:10Your criminal record is permanent.
00:26:12A criminal record?
00:26:13That's their fault to begin with.
00:26:15Could 17 years of feelings
00:26:17really be worth nothing
00:26:18just because there's no blood tied?
00:26:20The way I live is none of your concern.
00:26:22You, the Morgan family,
00:26:24none of you matter anymore.
00:26:25Let me be clear.
00:26:26My name is Maya Watson.
00:26:27Maya!
00:26:28I'm giving you a chance out of pity.
00:26:30You should be grateful.
00:26:30But look at the way you're clinging to me.
00:26:33That's the real pity.
00:26:34The Morgans raised you for 17 years.
00:26:37You want out?
00:26:38Fine, chug this.
00:26:39Right now.
00:26:40We're done.
00:26:41I glance at the bottle.
00:26:42It's the strong kind.
00:26:44A whole bottle would wreck most people.
00:26:46He doesn't know.
00:26:47In prison,
00:26:48they drowned me in gut-burning liquor.
00:26:50I almost died.
00:26:51Zoe taught me how to drink.
00:26:52I drank until I vomited blood
00:26:53and finally built up my tolerance.
00:26:55You said it.
00:26:56I grab the bottle,
00:26:57twist off the cap,
00:26:58and drinks.
00:26:59Every last drop.
00:27:00He stands stiff,
00:27:02his mind blank.
00:27:04He can only stare.
00:27:06Stay out of my way.
00:27:15I return to Patty's booth.
00:27:17The whiskey is catching up with me.
00:27:19My head feels light.
00:27:20You've been drinking?
00:27:22Who were you with?
00:27:23Someone praised me
00:27:24and insisted on raising a glass.
00:27:25It seemed rude to decline.
00:27:27Come on,
00:27:28I'll drive you home.
00:27:29We're about to leave
00:27:30when a man in a sharp suit
00:27:31blocks our path.
00:27:33Mrs. Miller,
00:27:34your friend was unforgettable.
00:27:36Bring her back regularly.
00:27:37I appreciate it,
00:27:38but I'm going to have to pass.
00:27:40Don't worry.
00:27:41The pay won't disappoint.
00:27:43Five grand per night.
00:27:44I shake my head.
00:27:46Ten thousand a night.
00:27:48Same rate I give the stars.
00:27:50It's really not about the money.
00:27:52Fifty thousand.
00:27:53That's the kind of money
00:27:54we reserve for stars.
00:27:57If you refuse this,
00:27:59people will say
00:28:00you're being unreasonable.
00:28:01To be honest,
00:28:02I've served time.
00:28:04Aren't you worried
00:28:05I'll hurt your bar's reputation?
00:28:07Jack's eyes beaten.
00:28:08I turn to leave.
00:28:09Your past doesn't matter.
00:28:11You're free now.
00:28:11We care about talent,
00:28:13not history.
00:28:13I'm not rejecting you
00:28:14to be difficult.
00:28:15I have other things
00:28:16to take care of.
00:28:17But I can promise you this.
00:28:18I won't sing regularly
00:28:19at any other venue.
00:28:20Now may I leave?
00:28:21He freezes.
00:28:23I saw straight through him.
00:28:25Come on, Jack.
00:28:27Let my best friend go.
00:28:31We're done here.
00:28:32Good night.
00:28:34The car glided to a stop
00:28:36in front of the gate.
00:28:37I could feel Patty's judgment
00:28:38before she even spoke.
00:28:39You're really living here now?
00:28:40Why settle for something so plain?
00:28:42It's quiet here.
00:28:43I like quiet atmosphere.
00:28:44I looked out at the quiet complex.
00:28:46A sense of peace settling over me
00:28:48despite her words.
00:28:49I pushed the door open
00:28:50and waved goodbye to Patty.
00:28:51As her car disappeared,
00:28:53the whiskey's burns
00:28:54started to catch up with me.
00:28:56My head swam,
00:28:57my steps becoming unseven.
00:28:59I fumbled with the key,
00:29:00the simple task
00:29:01feeling monumental
00:29:02before finally stumbling inside.
00:29:05Then I froze.
00:29:06A sudden memory,
00:29:08a new reality.
00:29:09I'm not living alone anymore.
00:29:10With a small sigh,
00:29:12I bent down,
00:29:12picked them up
00:29:13and placed them neatly by the rack.
00:29:15Then I headed to the kitchen
00:29:16for some water.
00:29:18The silence of the apartment
00:29:19was broken by my phone
00:29:20buzzing on the counter.
00:29:21It was Patty.
00:29:23A barrage of images
00:29:24flooded the screen.
00:29:26Shirtless,
00:29:27glistening abs everywhere.
00:29:28I was about to reply,
00:29:29Weren't you gonna wait for me
00:29:31so we could tidy up
00:29:31the house together?
00:29:32A low,
00:29:33familiar voice
00:29:34broke through the room
00:29:35behind me.
00:29:36The phone slipped from my hand.
00:29:38I stumbled backward.
00:29:39Before I can fall,
00:29:40I crashed into a solid,
00:29:41warm chest.
00:29:42I tilted my head up.
00:29:44It was Chris.
00:29:45Are you okay?
00:29:46Only a thin layer of fabric
00:29:48separates us.
00:29:49The heat of his skin
00:29:50seeps through.
00:29:51Heat surges up my neck,
00:29:52blooming across my cheeks.
00:29:56Mr. Cooper,
00:29:57I didn't expect you're still awake.
00:29:58I didn't expect you're still awake.
00:30:00Couldn't fall asleep.
00:30:01I figured I ought to thank you.
00:30:03You did a wonderful job.
00:30:04The place feels warm
00:30:05and welcoming.
00:30:06I truly like it.
00:30:08His eyes fell on my phone.
00:30:09The screen showed
00:30:10a collage of toned abs.
00:30:12Maya,
00:30:13which one's your favorite?
00:30:18I lunge for the phone.
00:30:19He's faster.
00:30:21He catches my hand
00:30:22and guides it
00:30:23beneath the hem of his shirt.
00:30:26Had a good night out?
00:30:27Oh no.
00:30:28He probably thinks
00:30:29I hired gigolos.
00:30:30Mr. Cooper,
00:30:31you've got it all wrong!
00:30:32I swear I didn't hire a gigolo!
00:30:33Did I say you did?
00:30:37Funny how you just confessed
00:30:38without any prompting.
00:30:40My face flushes.
00:30:41I shove him away,
00:30:42flustered.
00:30:43Next time you're in the mood
00:30:44for abs,
00:30:44just come to me.
00:30:45I guarantee you
00:30:46won't be let down.
00:30:48It's late.
00:30:49I should wash up.
00:30:51You should probably
00:30:51call it a night too.
00:30:53I dart into the bathroom
00:30:54and shut the door.
00:30:56My pulse is pounding
00:30:57like a drum.
00:30:59What does he mean
00:30:59just come to him?
00:31:01He said he wouldn't
00:31:02let me down?
00:31:04I slap my cheeks
00:31:05to cool the heat
00:31:05then splash cold water
00:31:07on my face.
00:31:08By the time I step out,
00:31:09the living room is empty.
00:31:10He's gone to bed.
00:31:11I don't know what to do.
00:31:12I feel so lost.
00:31:23Maya, it's me.
00:31:25Did I wake you?
00:31:25What do you want?
00:31:27There's a family dinner tonight.
00:31:28Dad, Mom, and Jarek
00:31:30all miss you.
00:31:31Could you come?
00:31:33What's that got to do with me?
00:31:35Not interested.
00:31:38Don't you want to know
00:31:39where Grandma's bracelet is?
00:31:43What did you just say?
00:31:44If you show up tonight,
00:31:46I'll tell you.
00:31:47The call cuts off.
00:31:48My phone rings again.
00:31:49I pick up immediately.
00:31:51Did you find what I asked for?
00:31:53Boss,
00:31:54I checked the waste processing logs
00:31:55from Alevian Apartments
00:31:56four years back.
00:31:57Nothing came up.
00:31:58That item doesn't exist.
00:32:00I freeze.
00:32:01Could Rosanna have kept
00:32:02Vicky's bracelet all this time?
00:32:04A cold smile creeps
00:32:05across my lips.
00:32:06It looks like there's no
00:32:07avoiding that dinner tonight.
00:32:10At 7 p.m.,
00:32:12I arrive at the
00:32:12Morgan family villa.
00:32:15I notice that the entire
00:32:17Morgan family is present,
00:32:18along with Vince.
00:32:19Vince is dressed in a
00:32:20crisp white designer suit,
00:32:22looking like a prince.
00:32:23Rosanna,
00:32:24in a soft pink gown,
00:32:26loops her arm through his.
00:32:27I pull out my earphones,
00:32:29surveying the stunned faces.
00:32:34What?
00:32:35Not happy to see me?
00:32:45I invited Maya tonight.
00:32:47It's a family dinner after all.
00:32:49She used to be a Morgan.
00:32:52Besides,
00:32:54I couldn't feel right about
00:32:56my engagement to Vince
00:32:57without her blessing.
00:32:58Maya,
00:32:59come sit down.
00:33:00I stroll over and take a seat
00:33:02between Jerobin and Rosanna.
00:33:03I don't even glance at Vince.
00:33:10Rosanna sits upright,
00:33:11every inch poised and polished.
00:33:13I lean back,
00:33:15arms crossed,
00:33:16relaxed.
00:33:17Sandra and Richard
00:33:17exchange a look.
00:33:20Their disapproval,
00:33:21clear.
00:33:23The dinner started with a toast,
00:33:26a seemingly innocent gesture
00:33:27from Rosanna.
00:33:28I'm so glad you could
00:33:30join us tonight,
00:33:31Maya.
00:33:32This one's for you.
00:33:33But Vince was faster.
00:33:36Maya can't drink alcohol.
00:33:38The air thickens with tension.
00:33:39I just watched.
00:33:41Oh, really?
00:33:42I didn't know Maya couldn't drink.
00:33:45Seems you know her better
00:33:46than I do, Vince.
00:33:47I must have been mistaken.
00:33:49Oh, sweetheart,
00:33:50that's all in the past.
00:33:51Vince cares for you
00:33:53above all else.
00:33:54Just look at the gifts
00:33:55he brought you yesterday.
00:33:56Almost $100,000 worth.
00:33:58She's flaunting it,
00:34:00trying to show me
00:34:00that Vince belongs
00:34:01to Rosanna now.
00:34:02That's a love
00:34:03others can only dream of.
00:34:04Wow, nearly $100,000 in gifts?
00:34:07Vince, you really are generous.
00:34:08Vince's gaze darkens.
00:34:10He knows what I'm getting at.
00:34:11Mrs. Morgan,
00:34:12you're too kind.
00:34:14Rosanna's my future wife.
00:34:15This is the least I can do.
00:34:16Well, what do you think
00:34:17of what I brought up earlier?
00:34:19Shouldn't you and Rosanna
00:34:20start making plans
00:34:21for the engagement party
00:34:22and the wedding soon?
00:34:23You're absolutely right.
00:34:24Rosanna's face glows
00:34:25with a wide grim.
00:34:28Vince, why are you
00:34:29even asking Maya
00:34:30anything about your marriage?
00:34:31Why was Vince
00:34:32even too much of this?
00:34:33Rosanna just said
00:34:34she would only feel right
00:34:35about the engagement
00:34:35if Maya gave us her blessing.
00:34:37I don't want that uncertainty
00:34:38hanging over her.
00:34:39So, Maya,
00:34:40will you bless us?
00:34:42Suddenly,
00:34:42all eyes were on me,
00:34:43the weight of their expectation
00:34:44pressing down
00:34:45like a physical force.
00:34:46And what if I don't?
00:34:50We asked for your input
00:34:52out of courtesy, Maya.
00:34:54Don't start thinking
00:34:54it meant more than that.
00:34:58Maya,
00:34:59are you saying no
00:35:00because you're still
00:35:01in love with Vince?
00:35:02Is that why you can't
00:35:02give us your blessing?
00:35:04Isn't this whole dinner
00:35:06your idea of a spectacle,
00:35:08Rosanna?
00:35:09You brought me here
00:35:09to flaunt what you've got.
00:35:11But let me make
00:35:11something clear.
00:35:12I couldn't care less
00:35:13about your relationship
00:35:14or your marriage plans.
00:35:17I was done
00:35:18with her games.
00:35:20And then,
00:35:21she collapsed.
00:35:22A performance
00:35:23so pathetic,
00:35:23it was almost impressive.
00:35:25Maya,
00:35:26I never wanted it
00:35:26to turn out like this.
00:35:28I know you hate me
00:35:29and that's why
00:35:29you always assume
00:35:30the worst.
00:35:31But tonight,
00:35:32I only asked you to come
00:35:33because I wanted
00:35:34your blessing.
00:35:35I can't enjoy this marriage
00:35:36if you keep holding
00:35:37this grudge.
00:35:42Maya,
00:35:43say sorry to Rosanna.
00:35:44Right now.
00:35:45I twist his arm
00:35:46behind his back
00:35:47and prinned him
00:35:47face down
00:35:48on the dining table.
00:35:49Maya,
00:35:49what are you doing?
00:35:51Let me go.
00:35:52I'm your brother.
00:35:56I don't have
00:35:57a brother like you.
00:35:59Maya,
00:36:00let Jaren go right now
00:36:01or you can't blame us
00:36:02for showing no mercy.
00:36:03Why don't you all
00:36:04come at me together?
00:36:05Let's see if the
00:36:06proud Morgan family
00:36:07can even handle
00:36:08one lone wolf
00:36:08fresh out of prison.
00:36:10Maya,
00:36:10please,
00:36:10let Jaren go.
00:36:11He only acted
00:36:12because he wanted
00:36:12to protect me.
00:36:13It's my fault.
00:36:14Punish me.
00:36:15Just don't hurt him.
00:36:16Rosanna,
00:36:17don't lower yourself.
00:36:18Maya,
00:36:18if you really have guts,
00:36:19kill me right here.
00:36:20Maya,
00:36:21don't you want to know
00:36:22where that thing is?
00:36:22If you let Jaren go,
00:36:24I'll tell you.
00:36:27Killing you
00:36:27would be too much
00:36:28of a waste.
00:36:28Just before his fist
00:36:29can reach me,
00:36:30a large hand appears
00:36:31out of nowhere
00:36:31and catches it.
00:36:32It's Vince.
00:36:33It's a family gathering.
00:36:34There's no need
00:36:35to make it worse.
00:36:36She's the one
00:36:37stirring up trouble,
00:36:38picking on your fiancé,
00:36:39throwing the first punch.
00:36:40Yet you're standing there
00:36:41telling me not
00:36:42to make things worse?
00:36:47Vince,
00:36:47are you seriously
00:36:48in love with Maya?
00:36:49She has a criminal record
00:36:50and she's not even my blood.
00:36:52Even if you were interested,
00:36:53your family would never
00:36:54allow her to become your wife.
00:36:55Auntie,
00:36:56you're overthinking this.
00:36:57I know Shu Yu
00:36:57is my fiancé,
00:36:58but I didn't come here today
00:36:59to watch the Chin family
00:37:00deal with their family matters.
00:37:01I'm not asking.
00:37:03Vince has a point.
00:37:04Jared,
00:37:04this is a family occasion,
00:37:05not the time for you
00:37:06and your sister to scrubble.
00:37:07Jared yanks his hand away,
00:37:09firing a glare at me.
00:37:10I ignore him.
00:37:12Where's the item?
00:37:16It's in my room.
00:37:17Come with me.
00:37:20I follow Rosanna upstairs.
00:37:22She stops at the top
00:37:23of the staircase.
00:37:23I sense something off.
00:37:25My brows pinch.
00:37:27A cold,
00:37:27chilling smile
00:37:28creeps onto her face.
00:37:30She flings herself backward,
00:37:32tumbling down the stairs.
00:37:36A scream tears
00:37:37through the silence downstairs.
00:37:39Rosanna?
00:37:41Everyone bolts from the room.
00:37:43Rosanna is sprawled
00:37:44at the bottom,
00:37:45her face twisted in agony.
00:37:46Bruises bloom
00:37:47across her arms.
00:37:49Maya,
00:37:49I was wrong.
00:37:51I shouldn't have brought up
00:37:52you and that man,
00:37:53but how could you,
00:37:54how could you be so cruel
00:37:56and push me down the stairs?
00:37:58Rosanna,
00:37:59tell us clearly.
00:38:00What happened?
00:38:01Yesterday,
00:38:02I ran into Maya
00:38:03at Huntington Mall.
00:38:04She was throwing money around,
00:38:06buying luxury brands.
00:38:08Then I saw her climb
00:38:09into a Rolls Royce.
00:38:11I begged her not
00:38:12to destroy her life,
00:38:13but instead of listening,
00:38:15she lost it
00:38:16and shoved me down the stairs.
00:38:20Maya,
00:38:20you shameless girl
00:38:21hooking up with some rich man!
00:38:22The confrontation
00:38:23was a storm years in the making.
00:38:25Rosanna just wanted
00:38:26to reason with you
00:38:27and you tried to kill her?
00:38:28Maya just got out.
00:38:29How could she already be kept?
00:38:31His naivety
00:38:32was almost laukha.
00:38:33You really think
00:38:33this all started after prison?
00:38:35She was probably sneaking around
00:38:36long before she ever
00:38:37got locked up.
00:38:39Maya!
00:38:40I never thought
00:38:41you'd fall this low!
00:38:43Her parents were trash.
00:38:44No class.
00:38:45It's in her blood.
00:38:47Thank God
00:38:47I have my real daughter back.
00:38:49You heard it yourself, Vince.
00:38:50Maya's hopeless.
00:38:51She's nothing like Rosanna.
00:38:52Today she pushed Rosanna
00:38:53down the stairs.
00:38:54Who knows what she'll do next?
00:38:56I'm calling the police.
00:38:58About this.
00:38:59Vince,
00:38:59don't waste your breath.
00:39:00This is a mordant.
00:39:01A new power entered the stage.
00:39:02We'll deal with it ourselves.
00:39:03Are you gonna turn yourself in,
00:39:05Maya,
00:39:05or should we go ahead
00:39:06and call the cops
00:39:06to drag you away?
00:39:09I look down at them.
00:39:11The family I once
00:39:12would have bled for.
00:39:13My heart is numb.
00:39:15You want the police
00:39:16to take me?
00:39:17Fine.
00:39:18Where's your evidence?
00:39:21All of us here
00:39:22saw it, Maya.
00:39:24I come down the stairs
00:39:25one step at a time.
00:39:28Stopping face to face
00:39:30with the Morgan family.
00:39:35Did any of you
00:39:35actually see me push her?
00:39:37Even if no one
00:39:38saw it happen,
00:39:39it was just you
00:39:39and Rosanna there.
00:39:43If you didn't push her,
00:39:45then who did it?
00:39:45Or are you
00:39:46seerly suggesting
00:39:47Rosanna made it up?
00:39:48What if I can prove
00:39:50Rosanna's lying?
00:39:51Sandra stiffens.
00:39:53If I really pushed her,
00:39:56I'll hand myself
00:39:57over to the police.
00:39:58But if she's the one lying,
00:40:00would you slap her
00:40:01as punishment?
00:40:03Maya,
00:40:05quit bluffing.
00:40:06If you really have proof,
00:40:08even if mom won't act,
00:40:10I will.
00:40:12I pull out my phone.
00:40:13A few taps.
00:40:15Their phones buzz loudly
00:40:16all at once.
00:40:17They click play.
00:40:20Their expressions
00:40:22into something grim.
00:40:23The video clearly shows
00:40:25Rosanna falling on her own.
00:40:27They'd rather believe a lie
00:40:28than trust me just once.
00:40:34Done watching?
00:40:35Now,
00:40:35it's time to punish Rosanna.
00:40:37Where did this video
00:40:38even come from?
00:40:39I installed hidden cameras
00:40:40to keep an eye on Vicky.
00:40:41You never notice them.
00:40:47Rosanna,
00:40:48is it true?
00:40:49You fell by yourself!
00:40:52Why would you accuse Maya?
00:40:53Why?
00:40:54Jaron,
00:40:55I got dizzy going upstairs.
00:40:57I thought it was Maya
00:40:58who pushed me.
00:40:58I'm sorry.
00:40:59I was mistaken.
00:41:00Maya,
00:41:00Rosanna skipped dinner.
00:41:01Probably low blood sugar.
00:41:03Sorry we blamed you.
00:41:04Let's keep tonight's
00:41:04family celebration happy.
00:41:06Don't let this ruin it.
00:41:07Maya,
00:41:07I'll set Rosanna straight.
00:41:09Let's eat before it gets cold.
00:41:10No one's forcing you to act.
00:41:11But the moment I press this button,
00:41:13the video goes live.
00:41:14Rosanna's pretty popular online,
00:41:16isn't she?
00:41:17So,
00:41:17tell me,
00:41:19what do you think her fans
00:41:20will say when they see it?
00:41:25Let's see which one you'll choose.
00:41:27Your precious darling
00:41:28or the family's reputation.
00:41:33I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
00:41:35I'm sorry, Maya.
00:41:36Please,
00:41:37believe me.
00:41:37I'm really sorry.
00:41:39Laws wouldn't exist
00:41:40if sorry was enough
00:41:41to fix everything.
00:41:43I'm giving it three seconds.
00:41:45If no one steps up,
00:41:46don't call me heartless
00:41:47for what happens next.
00:41:54Three,
00:41:56two,
00:41:58one.
00:42:09She turns back to face him,
00:42:11speechless with betrayal.
00:42:13Rosanna,
00:42:14I'm sorry.
00:42:15I have to do this.
00:42:16It's the only way to save
00:42:16what's left of your name.
00:42:19Maya,
00:42:19will you delete the video now?
00:42:21Back when Rosanna said
00:42:22I pushed her down those stairs,
00:42:23you were ready to call the cops
00:42:24to put me in jail.
00:42:25One slap isn't nearly enough.
00:42:26You.
00:42:34Don't you think that's enough?
00:42:43She comforts her weeping daughter.
00:42:45That's enough,
00:42:46Maya!
00:42:47The only thing I promised
00:42:48was not to post it.
00:42:49I never said I'd delete it.
00:42:52She's paid the price,
00:42:54Maya.
00:42:55Just get rid of the video already.
00:42:57I look at Vince's face,
00:42:59so eager to play
00:43:00the righteous judge,
00:43:01and I nearly laugh out aloud.
00:43:03Why didn't he say something
00:43:05when they were crewfying me
00:43:06just moments ago?
00:43:08Who are you to tell me what to do?
00:43:10Try it,
00:43:11and I'll surprise everyone tonight.
00:43:17It's obvious.
00:43:18The bracelet was just bait.
00:43:21Rosanna never intended to talk.
00:43:23I've taught Rosanna a hard lesson.
00:43:24There's nothing left for me here.
00:43:26Her declaration is final.
00:43:27There is no place for her here anymore.
00:43:28This isn't my dinner.
00:43:29It's yours.
00:43:30Enjoy what's left of it.
00:43:32The room remains silent,
00:43:33watching her go,
00:43:34trapped in the world
00:43:34she is leaving behind.
00:43:36Outside,
00:43:37the night has deepened,
00:43:38mirroring the chill within.
00:43:40Maya steps into the cold night air,
00:43:42the wind a sharp contrast
00:43:43to the stifling warmth inside.
00:43:45Her face is a mask of resolve,
00:43:47etched by the moonlight and shadow.
00:43:48Maya, wait up!
00:43:49A voice calls out you out from behind.
00:43:54What now?
00:43:57I know where the bracelet is.
00:43:59Delete the video.
00:44:00I'm not bluffing.
00:44:03Fine.
00:44:03Last chance.
00:44:04Don't lie to me again.
00:44:06Talk.
00:44:07There's a black market
00:44:08near the big iron bridge in Irgin
00:44:09over in the South District.
00:44:11What you're looking for is there.
00:44:12A fragmented memory,
00:44:13or perhaps a fear,
00:44:15flashes before her eyes.
00:44:16The blacks market?
00:44:17How did Vicky's bracelet
00:44:18end up in a place like this?
00:44:19Rosanda, don't lie to me.
00:44:20Next time won't be so easy for you.
00:44:24I return to the apartment.
00:44:28Chris is sprawled on the sofa,
00:44:30a book in his hand.
00:44:35You're home.
00:44:37Yeah.
00:44:39I start towards my room.
00:44:42Then I stop.
00:44:43You really don't need to wait
00:44:44for me every time, Mr. Cooper.
00:44:45Since you know I'm waiting,
00:44:47why do you keep coming home this late?
00:44:49That's not what I meant.
00:44:51I'm messing with you.
00:44:53A warm hand ruffles my hair.
00:44:55But if anyone gives you trouble,
00:44:57promise me you'll come to me first.
00:45:00Okay.
00:45:03It's late.
00:45:04Go get some rest.
00:45:06And remember,
00:45:07the world out there isn't always kind.
00:45:10Don't go wandering off.
00:45:11Did he seriously take me
00:45:13for a kid or something?
00:45:14Good night.
00:45:15I enter my bedroom.
00:45:17The door clicks shut.
00:45:19I lean against the door,
00:45:20my heart pounding like a drum.
00:45:22His touch.
00:45:23His words.
00:45:24His smile.
00:45:24All spinning in my head on a loop.
00:45:28Midnight.
00:45:29This is when the black market comes to life.
00:45:31Any earlier.
00:45:33And half the vendors
00:45:34wouldn't have even opened yet.
00:45:36I slip out of the apartment
00:45:38without a sound.
00:45:39I find the hidden entrance
00:45:40beneath the old iron crossing.
00:45:42The underground bazaar buzz with life.
00:45:45Murky lanterns cast soft pools of light.
00:45:47It's like a jam-packed festival.
00:45:49I show a picture of Vicky's bracelet
00:45:51to booth after booth.
00:45:54More than a dozen merchants.
00:45:56None recognize it.
00:45:57I stop before a liquor shop.
00:45:59It's broad-fronted,
00:46:00selling smuggled alcohol.
00:46:02The shop displays famous wines
00:46:04from all over the world.
00:46:05Miss,
00:46:06we just received exclusive bottles.
00:46:08Care for a peek?
00:46:10I'm looking for something.
00:46:12Not thirsty.
00:46:14Looking for something, huh?
00:46:16You're in luck.
00:46:18Nothing escapes my notice in this place.
00:46:20I show him the photo.
00:46:27This.
00:46:28The assistant goes to get his boss.
00:46:31I perch on a tall stool.
00:46:34A man in a dove gray coat enters,
00:46:37carrying a sleek case.
00:46:40Is my package prepared?
00:46:42Ready, sir!
00:46:45He retrieves an elegant bottle
00:46:47from the top shelf.
00:46:48The man inspects it,
00:46:50nods,
00:46:50and prepares to leave.
00:46:52This is counterfeit.
00:46:57Mind your tongue, miss.
00:46:58We sell only authentic goods.
00:47:00This bottle of Takika
00:47:01you're selling is fake.
00:47:02You look just a little over 20.
00:47:04I doubt you know anything about liquor.
00:47:06The true worth of an Annie Takika
00:47:07lies in the artistry of its relief.
00:47:09Each figure wears a unique emotion.
00:47:11But glance at this one.
00:47:12The faces blur together,
00:47:13expressionless and identical.
00:47:14It's an obvious forgery.
00:47:18I'll contact my boss.
00:47:24We'll bring this vintage
00:47:25to Annie Crystal for varication.
00:47:26If it's authentic,
00:47:28you'll receive full payment.
00:47:29Policies firm.
00:47:30Full cash up front
00:47:31before anything leaves.
00:47:36Then the deal's off.
00:47:44The shop assistant is furious.
00:47:47Rule breaker!
00:47:48Someone's wrecking the code!
00:47:50I looked at him
00:47:51and sighed helplessly.
00:47:53Here comes the trouble.
00:47:54All I wanted
00:47:55was to find a bracelet.
00:47:56How did I end up
00:47:57stirring up a hornet's hole?
00:48:01Rule breaker.
00:48:02In the black market,
00:48:03this word triggers chaos.
00:48:05Merchants, hustlers,
00:48:06shady characters
00:48:07surge towards the liquor shop.
00:48:08They see me,
00:48:09a young woman in her early 20s.
00:48:11They hesitate.
00:48:11She accused us
00:48:12of selling counterfeit tequila.
00:48:14Her little girl
00:48:14made your transaction.
00:48:16Where's her proof?
00:48:17She thinks she can
00:48:18stir up this place
00:48:18and walk away?
00:48:19Not happen!
00:48:25In the crowd,
00:48:26a few burly men
00:48:27in dark clothes
00:48:28recognize me.
00:48:29They've been trailing me.
00:48:38What's going on here?
00:48:42It's the owner
00:48:43of the liquor shop.
00:48:44The shop assistant
00:48:45has snapped a photo
00:48:46of my bracelet
00:48:47and shows him.
00:48:48I catch the shift
00:48:50in Vinenzo's expression
00:48:51as it hardens,
00:48:52yet not a trace of fear
00:48:53stirs inside me.
00:48:55Go ahead.
00:48:56I'd love to see
00:48:57what you can do to me.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02It costs you a palm.
00:49:05Me causing trouble?
00:49:06But if I remember right,
00:49:07the black market
00:49:08has another rule.
00:49:09No selling fakes.
00:49:10I simply pointed out
00:49:12a fake.
00:49:12How is that causing trouble?
00:49:13The liquor shop owner
00:49:15pulled me inside the store.
00:49:17Everything sold here
00:49:18is genuine!
00:49:19But the way I see it,
00:49:21half the liquor
00:49:22in your shop
00:49:22is counterfeit.
00:49:25The crowd murmurs
00:49:26in shock.
00:49:28Nonsense!
00:49:29Take her!
00:49:30Cut off her palm
00:49:31and throw her out of here!
00:49:33Hold it.
00:49:34Since we have
00:49:35such a good audience tonight,
00:49:37why not verify
00:49:37on the mant?
00:49:38These bottles are known
00:49:39around the world.
00:49:40Can you afford
00:49:40to pay for any damage?
00:49:41I reach into my bag
00:49:42and place a matte black card
00:49:44on the counter.
00:49:44A golden iris englum
00:49:46glints under the lights.
00:49:47If I'm wrong,
00:49:48I'll pay for every bottle
00:49:48you say I damaged
00:49:49and you can cut off my palm.
00:49:51Fair enough?
00:49:51I watch Vinenzo's
00:49:53composure begin to crack
00:49:54and the corner of my mouth lift.
00:49:56You want my palm?
00:49:59Let's see if you've got
00:50:00what it takes
00:50:00to handle the mess
00:50:01I'm about to make
00:50:02of your shop first.
00:50:07Quite the lively night
00:50:09at the Underbar Barrel,
00:50:10wouldn't you say?
00:50:11The crisp, clear voice
00:50:13of Maxwell Payne
00:50:14cuts through the smoky air
00:50:15of the Underbarrel.
00:50:23Mr. Payne,
00:50:24what brings you here?
00:50:25Uh,
00:50:27in Frisier of Aubrey Mouth.
00:50:29With entertainment like this,
00:50:30you think I could just
00:50:31sit it out?
00:50:32Miss,
00:50:33whenever you're ready.
00:50:35First row,
00:50:36seventh bottle.
00:50:43The assistant brings
00:50:44the bottle forward.
00:50:48McAllen,
00:50:491950.
00:50:50The liquid should be
00:50:51a deep amber
00:50:52with golden highlights.
00:50:53This one is too pale.
00:50:55I open the bottle,
00:50:57pour a glass,
00:50:58and inhale.
00:51:00It should have notes
00:51:01of dried fruit,
00:51:02oak,
00:51:02vanilla,
00:51:03cinnamon,
00:51:03honey,
00:51:04and caramel.
00:51:04This one only has
00:51:05the first two.
00:51:07I take a sip.
00:51:09The real McAllen 1950
00:51:10is rich and smooth
00:51:12with a long finish.
00:51:13This is fake.
00:51:14Maxwell watches,
00:51:15amused.
00:51:16The game just got
00:51:18more interesting.
00:51:20A fake bottle
00:51:21pretending to be
00:51:22a world-class vintage?
00:51:24Today,
00:51:25I'll show you
00:51:26what a real expert
00:51:27looks like.
00:51:29Maxwell takes the glass,
00:51:30inhales,
00:51:31and tastes it.
00:51:32His expression shifts.
00:51:33I toured the McAllen
00:51:34distillery years ago,
00:51:35had the real 1950s
00:51:37straight from the source.
00:51:38One sip,
00:51:39and you never forget it.
00:51:40Whatever this is,
00:51:40it doesn't even come close.
00:51:41You're right.
00:51:42It's a fake.
00:51:44Second row,
00:51:45fifth bottle,
00:51:46third row,
00:51:47twelfth bottle,
00:51:48fifth row,
00:51:49third from the bottom.
00:51:51Bottle after bottle,
00:51:53bottle after bottle.
00:51:54I nail every single fake.
00:51:59I spot ten fakes.
00:52:02Maxwell rises from his seat.
00:52:04That's enough.
00:52:06There's no need to continue.
00:52:08Vincenza is stunned.
00:52:10He grabs a bottle.
00:52:12You lying piece of shit!
00:52:14How ungrateful you are!
00:52:15And hurls it at Denny.
00:52:19I fold my arms and watch this spectacle unfold.
00:52:22Go on.
00:52:23Fight.
00:52:23The messier,
00:52:24the better.
00:52:25Wanted to cut off my palm just now?
00:52:27Now who's the real joke around here?
00:52:30Streams down.
00:52:31Boss, I swear,
00:52:32I had no idea those bottles were fake!
00:52:34Is there a computer here?
00:52:37Vincenzo nods.
00:52:39The assistant hurries over with a laptop.
00:52:42I type at lightning speed.
00:52:44Chat logs fill the screen.
00:52:46Denny's dealings in fake wine.
00:52:48Take a look.
00:52:57What else do you have to say for yourself now?
00:53:01Denny staggers back,
00:53:02as if struck.
00:53:03Hand over every cent from this scheme,
00:53:04or by morning,
00:53:05your corpse is outside the black market.
00:53:07I'll pay it all back!
00:53:08Every last cent!
00:53:10Please!
00:53:10Pull it down.
00:53:11Toss him out.
00:53:12If he comes back,
00:53:13you know what to do.
00:53:13The scream echoes through the black market,
00:53:16and I don't even flinch.
00:53:18After all these years navigating the black market,
00:53:21I've seen far worse cruelty than this.
00:53:23Besides,
00:53:24he brought it on himself.
00:53:27The air was filled with dust and fear.
00:53:29Vincenzo trembled violently.
00:53:31Miss, since you uncovered this mess,
00:53:32why don't you decide the owner's fate?
00:53:34He cowered a pitiful figure before the imposing Maxwell.
00:53:37But Maya's cold gaze remained fixed on Vincenzo.
00:53:41Without a word,
00:53:42Maya walked past Maquam,
00:53:43her focus unwavering.
00:53:45Have you seen the bracelet?
00:53:47Miss,
00:53:48that bracelet isn't here.
00:53:49It's no common trinkle.
00:53:51If it showed up here,
00:53:52I would have known.
00:53:53He gestured weakly to the cluttered shop,
00:53:55insisting his innocence.
00:53:56A shadow passed over Maya's eyes.
00:53:58A fleeting, deceitful smile flashed in her memory.
00:54:02Her voice was flat,
00:54:03as she turned to leave.
00:54:05But Maxwell moved,
00:54:06blocking her path.
00:54:07You still haven't told me what to do about Vincenzo.
00:54:09He demanded an answer,
00:54:10his tone insistent.
00:54:11He really didn't know.
00:54:13You can't punish someone for ignorance.
00:54:16Flooding his features.
00:54:17Overhelmed with gratitude,
00:54:18he projressed himself on the dusty floor.
00:54:20Miss, I owe you my life.
00:54:21If you ever need any at all,
00:54:22I'll come running.
00:54:23His voice, choked with emotion,
00:54:25pledged eternal loyalty.
00:54:26I looked down at the man bowing before me
00:54:29and felt nothing.
00:54:31It was just a casual act.
00:54:34But the bracelet,
00:54:36Rosanna said it was here.
00:54:40I step out of the underbarrel.
00:54:42A man in gray blocks my path.
00:54:45Miss,
00:54:46my boss would like to have a word with you.
00:54:48He steps aside.
00:54:50Only then do I see another figure standing behind him.
00:54:52A man in his early forties.
00:54:54Young lady, I owe you my thanks.
00:54:56Your skills are something else,
00:54:58especially for someone your age.
00:55:00May I ask which wine group you're working with?
00:55:02Someone of your ability
00:55:03must be tied to a top distributor or winery by now.
00:55:06And I'm no simolean either.
00:55:07I've just sampled a few bosses.
00:55:08I happened to get lucky today.
00:55:09His smile falters for a second.
00:55:12He hands me a business card.
00:55:14This is my card.
00:55:15If you ever need a favor,
00:55:17don't hesitate to reach out.
00:55:20I glance at it.
00:55:21The name Hurst Cooper stands out.
00:55:24Head of that Cooper branch family.
00:55:26Didn't expect to run into someone like him
00:55:28in a place like this.
00:55:30Anyone who moves freely through the black market
00:55:32is no ordinary player.
00:55:33This is someone I'll need to tread carefully around.
00:55:36Well then, I'll be seeing you.
00:55:47I head towards the black market exit.
00:55:50The layout is confusing.
00:55:53I wander into a pitch black alley.
00:55:57I turn to retrace my steps.
00:56:04Shadows peel away from the darkness ahead.
00:56:07The thugs from before.
00:56:09We don't want to rough up a pretty girl like you.
00:56:11What do you want?
00:56:13You'll find out soon enough.
00:56:17Got it.
00:56:22Right as they reach for me,
00:56:23I move like lightning.
00:56:29The leader freezes in disbelief.
00:56:32You idiots, get up!
00:56:38Shit.
00:56:39He charges at me,
00:56:41fist swinging high.
00:56:42I sidestep the punch,
00:56:44already calculating how to end this quickly.
00:56:47Unbeknownst to me,
00:56:48he holds a knife behind his back,
00:56:49aimed at me.
00:56:51The darkness hides it,
00:56:52and I see nothing.
00:56:55A girl's terrified eyes,
00:56:57wide with fear,
00:56:58reflect the glint of a knife
00:56:59thrusting towards her from off screen.
00:57:01Suddenly,
00:57:01another figure crashes into her from the side,
00:57:04throwing her off balance,
00:57:05but saving her from the blade.
00:57:06Come with me!
00:57:10Don't let them get away!
00:57:12We race out of the alley.
00:57:15The faint streetlights reveal my rescuer,
00:57:18a boy,
00:57:19barely in his teens.
00:57:20I yank free and stop.
00:57:22Want to play a thrilling little game?
00:57:24The boy frowse his brow,
00:57:25confused.
00:57:26I sneer inwardly.
00:57:27These thugs are just pawns.
00:57:28The real mastermind is still hiding somewhere out of sight.
00:57:31Since they want me so badly,
00:57:33I'll let them have me.
00:57:34You can't catch the tiger without entering its den.
00:57:36Let's find out who's really pulling the strings.
00:57:39The thugs come storming after me.
00:57:42They find me standing alone beneath the flickering lights.
00:57:46They surround me.
00:57:49Why did you stop running,
00:57:51sweetheart?
00:57:53I ran out of gas.
00:57:55I'll go with you.
00:57:56But can we keep things civil?
00:57:58No more knives or guns, please?
00:58:00I'm scared.
00:58:02Relax.
00:58:03As long as you cooperate,
00:58:04we won't lay a hand on you.
00:58:06He thinks he's in control.
00:58:08Then drop the knife first.
00:58:09He tosses the knife to the ground.
00:58:12I move forward.
00:58:13They grab me.
00:58:14They steer me down an alley.
00:58:18A cloth soaked with knockout chemicals
00:58:20is pressed over my mouth and nose.
00:58:22I close my eyes.
00:58:24I feel a strange sense of calm.
00:58:25They think I'm prey,
00:58:26but I've been running this hunt from the start.
00:58:28Go on.
00:58:29Take me to your master.
00:58:31They've taken the bait.
00:58:37I wake up in a filthy corner of a collapsing shack.
00:58:44Boss, she's pretty damn hot.
00:58:46We really can't have a little fun?
00:58:47You heard the orders.
00:58:49Stripper, snap some shots.
00:58:52That's it.
00:58:53No touching.
00:59:02The boss changed the deal.
00:59:05Do whatever you want.
00:59:08No.
00:59:25I stand up.
00:59:27Brush off the dust.
00:59:29Catch this!
00:59:30A wooden stick sails
00:59:31who shanding through the broken window.
00:59:33I catch it cleanly.
00:59:35Who sent you?
00:59:37We're professionals.
00:59:38We never sell out a client.
00:59:42Is that so?
00:59:54We'll see how tough your bones are
00:59:56after I break a few.
01:00:00Help!
01:00:01Let me out-murder!
01:00:03Please, stop hitting us.
01:00:05I'll confess.
01:00:07I'll tell you everything.
01:00:10It was Jared,
01:00:12the eldest son of the Morgan family.
01:00:16The man I called brother
01:00:17for over a decade.
01:00:19He tried to ruin me.
01:00:21Miss,
01:00:22can you let us go now?
01:00:24Let him leave.
01:00:26I'll see you next time.
01:00:32Jared,
01:00:33I never imagined
01:00:34you could sink this low.
01:00:37Did you really think
01:00:38I'm still the same Maya
01:00:39you used to push around?
01:00:40I'll make sure you learn
01:00:41exactly what happens
01:00:43when you mess with
01:00:43the wrong person.
01:00:46I step outside.
01:00:48The teenager is staring at me
01:00:50like I'm a hero.
01:00:52I owe you one,
01:00:53little hero.
01:00:57Where's your home?
01:01:00I'll walk you.
01:01:01He hesitates,
01:01:02then gives a small nod.
01:01:04He turns and walks
01:01:04toward the slums.
01:01:06I follow him,
01:01:08deeper into the ruins,
01:01:10broken down buildings,
01:01:11filthy roads.
01:01:12He stops in front of a crooked
01:01:14shack of rotting wood.
01:01:16This is...
01:01:17This is where I live.
01:01:20What should I call you?
01:01:22Ethan Watson.
01:01:24What a coincidence.
01:01:25We've got the same surname.
01:01:27I'm Maya Watson.
01:01:28Ethan,
01:01:29is that you?
01:01:31Go on.
01:01:32It's late.
01:01:34I won't keep you.
01:01:36He gives a small nod
01:01:37and steps inside.
01:01:40I stand before that crumbling shack,
01:01:43unable to turn away.
01:01:44This kid saved my life
01:01:45and this is where he calls home.
01:01:47Ethan.
01:01:48That stubborn gleam in his eyes
01:01:49reminds me of who I used to be.
01:01:52Tomorrow,
01:01:52I'll find a way to thank him properly.
01:01:54This is a debt I won't forget.
01:02:22I left some clothes on the doorknob.
01:02:25Lunch is ready.
01:02:26Come eat when you're done.
01:02:41The faint scent of cedar
01:02:43and warm skin clings to it.
01:02:50I clutch the collar of that white shirt,
01:02:52my heart pounding like a drum.
01:02:54It's just a piece of clothier
01:02:56but wearing it feels like being wrapped in him.
01:02:59In the dining room,
01:03:01Chris has set the table.
01:03:02He carefully places the last fork.
01:03:05I figured you must have been exhausted.
01:03:06I didn't want you to sleep through lunch,
01:03:08so I came back just to make sure you'd eat.
01:03:11Go on.
01:03:12Give it a taste.
01:03:16I pick up a piece of beef.
01:03:22How is it?
01:03:27The moment his smile falters,
01:03:30my chest tightens for no reason.
01:03:32It's just a comment.
01:03:33Why does he care so much?
01:03:35Thanks for the fancy meal.
01:03:37I'll repay you when I get a chance.
01:03:39Come on.
01:03:40Why do you have to be so formal with your husband?
01:03:42I cuss lightly.
01:03:44I has no note used to the word husband.
01:03:46I lower my head and take a bite of food,
01:03:49not daring to meet his eyes.
01:03:51The kinder he is to me,
01:03:52the more frightened I become.
01:03:54After all,
01:03:54this marriage has an expiration date.
01:03:58He shouldn't waste his feelings on me.
01:04:01But for some reason,
01:04:02when the word divorce crosses my mind,
01:04:05my heart clenches.
01:04:08That afternoon,
01:04:09I carry bags of fruit and supplements
01:04:12to Ethan's home in the slums.
01:04:13Coughing comes from inside.
01:04:15I knock.
01:04:18Maya?
01:04:19You saved me yesterday.
01:04:20I came to thank you properly.
01:04:22Not happy to see me?
01:04:24I step inside.
01:04:26A cramped room,
01:04:27maybe 15 square meters.
01:04:29A woman lies on one of the beds.
01:04:31Her skin is pale,
01:04:32her body painfully thin.
01:04:34And you are?
01:04:35I'm here to thank Ethan
01:04:36for what he did yesterday.
01:04:37Ethan doesn't say much,
01:04:38but he's always had a good heart.
01:04:40What's your name, dear?
01:04:42Maya Watson.
01:04:43The woman's expression shifts sharply.
01:04:45Does she know me?
01:04:46But I've never seen her before.
01:04:48What exactly is going on here
01:04:49that I don't know about?
01:04:54Maya Watson?
01:04:55The fake daughter
01:04:56from the Morgan family?
01:04:58I don't know.
01:05:06My name is Kathy.
01:05:07Four years ago,
01:05:08my brother and his wife
01:05:08were killed in an accident.
01:05:10The police came and said
01:05:10their daughter Rosanna
01:05:11wasn't their biological child.
01:05:13Her real parents were the Morgans.
01:05:14And the Morgan daughter
01:05:15was their real child.
01:05:16That same day,
01:05:17the Morgans took Rosanna away.
01:05:18They left Ethan behind.
01:05:19So I took him in.
01:05:20We moved here.
01:05:21Rosanna,
01:05:22that ungrateful girl.
01:05:23My brother and his wife
01:05:24raised her for 17 years.
01:05:26They gave her everything.
01:05:27And she abandoned them.
01:05:28She never looked back.
01:05:29Now she lives the good life
01:05:30as the Morgan family's
01:05:31treasured daughter
01:05:32while Ethan rots in this slum.
01:05:33I turned to the boy behind me.
01:05:36His face is pale.
01:05:37His eyes hold the same pain
01:05:39I know too well.
01:05:49Don't be afraid.
01:05:50It's me.
01:05:51I'm your sister.
01:05:52I'm here now.
01:05:57He hates me.
01:05:58Hates me for never coming
01:05:59to find him all these years.
01:06:01Ethan,
01:06:02I'm sorry.
01:06:02From this day on,
01:06:04I will never leave you alone.
01:06:06I start to chase Ethan.
01:06:09Let him be.
01:06:11After what happened
01:06:12four years ago,
01:06:13he changed.
01:06:14He doesn't talk much anymore.
01:06:17Sometimes he just needs space.
01:06:19I sink back down,
01:06:21looking at Kathy's weary face.
01:06:24Aunt Kathy,
01:06:25you can't afford
01:06:26to wait any longer.
01:06:27I'll get you and Ethan
01:06:28out of here soon.
01:06:30I'll make sure you get
01:06:31into the best hospital.
01:06:32Maya,
01:06:33did you really go to prison?
01:06:35Yes.
01:06:36Rosanna was afraid
01:06:37I'd steal her place.
01:06:38She framed me for stealing
01:06:40from radiant jewels.
01:06:41To protect her,
01:06:42the Morgans threw me in prison.
01:06:45You've endured so much,
01:06:46Maya.
01:06:47My eyes water.
01:06:48I've suffered so much
01:06:50and never cried.
01:06:51But hearing those words,
01:06:53tears well up.
01:06:54Trust me,
01:06:55Aunt Kathy.
01:06:56I'll make sure you and Ethan
01:06:58have the best life possible.
01:06:59From today on,
01:07:00I'm not alone anymore.
01:07:02I have a brother.
01:07:03I have family.
01:07:06No one will ever bully them again.
01:07:09I find Ethan under a tall,
01:07:11silent tree in the slums.
01:07:13He's curled up,
01:07:13knees hugged to his chest,
01:07:15head hidden.
01:07:15I sit down beside him.
01:07:18He lifts his head,
01:07:20confusion in his eyes.
01:07:23Looks like fate smiled on us
01:07:26and brought us together.
01:07:28You showed up
01:07:29out of nowhere yesterday,
01:07:31like a hero saving me.
01:07:33I felt a strange sense
01:07:35of familiarity.
01:07:38I never guessed
01:07:39you'd be my little brother.
01:07:45We are different.
01:07:47You still have a family.
01:07:49You have adoptive parents.
01:07:54You mean the so-called family
01:07:56who threw me behind bars
01:07:57and spent every waking moment
01:07:59trying to tear me apart?
01:08:05He stares at me.
01:08:08I haven't had a family
01:08:09in a long time.
01:08:12But thanks to you
01:08:12for the first time in years,
01:08:14I feel like I belong
01:08:15somewhere again.
01:08:20I'm your brother.
01:08:21I will protect you.
01:08:23Hearing those words,
01:08:24my nose stings
01:08:24and I almost lose it.
01:08:26He's barely a teenager,
01:08:27still a kid himself
01:08:28and yet he's promising
01:08:29to protect me.
01:08:30All these years,
01:08:31no one has ever said that to me.
01:08:32The Morgans used me
01:08:33and discarded me.
01:08:34Vince wanted to possess me.
01:08:36Only this brother I just found,
01:08:37only he says he'll protect me.
01:08:39Ethan,
01:08:40I swear,
01:08:42from now on,
01:08:43I will protect you
01:08:44from all harm.
01:08:46We will never be separated again.
01:08:48I will protect you.
01:08:49I will protect you.
01:08:49From now on,
01:08:49He'll protect you.
01:08:49He'll protect you.
01:08:50He goes to you.
01:08:50See you.
01:08:51He'll protect you.
01:08:51Youении
