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

00:00:0916 years. Ever since that lab explosion took my parents, I've been locked in this cage by Caleb Thorne.
00:00:15He's my guardian and my secret lover.
00:00:17He said once I got a faculty position at Faircroft, he'd consider being with me.
00:00:21Today's my 24th birthday. I turned down every invitation, ready to give myself to him.
00:00:33Caleb, slow down. Isn't it your little orphan's birthday today?
00:00:37Stay focused. Why bring her up?
00:00:41Heard she turned down every academic offer for you, dead set on getting in your bed.
00:00:45You've kept her in Manhattan for 16 years. You actually gonna touch that virgin?
00:00:52Just a canary with a mental illness who can't survive without me.
00:00:57I keep her around to clean up the mess from that lab accident years ago.
00:01:01I know the difference between a woman and a pet.
00:01:11Ella, who gave you permission to watch?
00:01:13Go back to your room.
00:01:25Caleb, you promised me.
00:01:29Dressed like this outside my door?
00:01:31You think you're some cheap whore?
00:01:32Today's my 24th birthday.
00:01:34I got the faculty offer from Faircroft.
00:01:36You'd consider us...
00:01:37Like the state of my her own in Homan.
00:01:40You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:01:41I spent millions raising you, and this is how you repay me?
00:01:44With this filthy little scheme?
00:01:45I just love you, Caleb.
00:01:47Love?
00:01:48You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
00:01:50You read a few books, and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
00:02:05Listen up, all of you.
00:02:06Starting tonight, Serena is the lady of this penthouse.
00:02:09What she says, goes.
00:02:11Yes, Mr. Thorne.
00:02:22Professor at Fairchit?
00:02:24Sounds real impressive.
00:02:25That promise?
00:02:27It was all just a game to you, wasn't it?
00:02:31Just a trick to keep a pet entertained.
00:02:33Who knew you'd be stupid enough to believe it?
00:02:38Know your place, Ella.
00:02:40Try this cheap little stunk again, and I'll throw you back to the slumps.
00:02:48Call the family trust.
00:02:50Separate Ella's bills from the family account.
00:02:51She's not part of the foreign family.
00:02:53Just a pet I keep.
00:02:56Long-term investment?
00:02:58I was just a priced pet to him this whole time.
00:03:02Caleb, why are you still wearing this cheap thing?
00:03:05You're right.
00:03:06Cheap things don't belong on my wrist.
00:03:11That was his 18th birthday gift.
00:03:13I bought it with the money I made for my part-time work.
00:03:16He promised me he'd wear it forever.
00:03:19This pet Felilip?
00:03:20I bought it at auction just for you.
00:03:22This is what fits your status.
00:03:33What are you still doing here?
00:03:34Take out the trash.
00:03:35You're getting in Serena's way.
00:03:40Caleb, bringing a moody orphan to a place like this?
00:03:42It's like you.
00:03:44It's not like you.
00:03:45A pet needs to see the real world, so she doesn't forget her worth.
00:03:49I don't know what I did wrong.
00:03:51Ever since he met Serena, he's done nothing but humiliate me like this.
00:03:56Polaris!
00:03:57That's the graduation gift he promised me.
00:04:00Caleb, this is for me?
00:04:02Polaris means the one and only guide.
00:04:05Only a woman who stands equal to the Thorn family deserves this.
00:04:13Pretty, isn't it, Ella?
00:04:14It's a gift from Caleb.
00:04:16Caleb, you lied to me.
00:04:17Lied to you?
00:04:19You think a faculty offer at Fairtick makes you worthy to stand by my side?
00:04:22You said it was mine.
00:04:24You're just a pet I own.
00:04:26Pets don't get to demand gifts from their masters.
00:04:28Get out.
00:04:30You're ruining the night.
00:04:36Gentlemen, to another successful quarter.
00:04:39Indeed.
00:04:41Though I must say, the real victory is yet to come.
00:04:45Couldn't agree more, Caleb.
00:04:53Ella, the chef made this especially for you.
00:04:56Have a taste.
00:05:00I'm sorry.
00:05:01I can't eat this.
00:05:03What's wrong?
00:05:03Not to your taste?
00:05:06Ready, don't have out-tip that escapes.
00:05:08All the partners are watching, Ella.
00:05:10Refusing your host food at a dinner party is terribly rude.
00:05:13Caleb, you know.
00:05:14I go into anaphylactic shock if I eat peanuts.
00:05:20Cut the crap and stop making a scene.
00:05:28Caleb.
00:05:29Eat it.
00:05:30Don't make me say it again.
00:05:33He knew how deadly my peanut allergy was.
00:05:36Yet to save his new lover's face, he's forcing me to do this.
00:05:52Caleb.
00:06:04Caleb.
00:06:07Oh my god, Caleb.
00:06:08She's terrifying like this.
00:06:10I am scared.
00:06:14Throw her out.
00:06:16Do not let her ruin Serena night.
00:06:29Well, what do we have here?
00:06:31A poor little thing thrown out by someone.
00:06:34You're real pretty.
00:06:36Why don't you keep me company?
00:06:38Ah!
00:06:43Ella?
00:06:44What happened to you?
00:06:45Hold on.
00:06:46I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:06:48Hold on.
00:06:49I am taking you to the hospital right now.
00:06:59You're finally awake.
00:07:01You're finally awake.
00:07:01The doctor said you'd be dead if you'd arrive ten minutes later.
00:07:05Where's Caleb?
00:07:06He's your legal guardian.
00:07:07How could he lead you to die in an alley?
00:07:09He's my life.
00:07:0916 years by his side.
00:07:11I thought I was his treasure.
00:07:13Until last night, I realized I was nothing but trash he could throw away whenever he wanted.
00:07:17Elliot, thank you for saving me.
00:07:19Are you okay?
00:07:22I'm fine.
00:07:24I just finally woke up.
00:07:27Caleb Thorne.
00:07:29From today on, I don't love you anymore.
00:07:35Well, look who's here.
00:07:36The stray dog Caleb keeps around.
00:07:37You sure have a hard life?
00:07:38Didn't die in the hospital?
00:07:41Well, besides that pretty face, all she's good at is sucking up to people.
00:07:52That's the only thing my parents left me.
00:07:53How dare you use it as a table coater?
00:07:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:56I thought it was just a piece of worthless trash.
00:08:00I wouldn't touch that if I were you.
00:08:01Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:08:03That champagne tower is resting on it.
00:08:04Every bottle here is worth more than your life.
00:08:06Can you afford it if it collapses?
00:08:08That's my parents' memento.
00:08:09Take it out and give it back to me.
00:08:10Memento?
00:08:11It's just a piece of junk.
00:08:12Being a coaster is the only use it has.
00:08:14It's just like you.
00:08:17This has everything that belongs to me.
00:08:19Give it back to me!
00:08:20You filthy little thing.
00:08:22You really think Caleb kept you around because of you?
00:08:23He was just bored, keeping a dog for fun.
00:08:25Now that I'm marrying you to the Thorne family, you're not even worth a dog.
00:08:32What's all this noise about?
00:08:37A cursed child like you can't even hold on to your parents' memento?
00:08:41How dare you think you deserve to stand by Caleb's side?
00:08:43Get out of my way.
00:08:44I'm getting that drive back!
00:08:53Caleb, it hurts!
00:08:55Caleb, I just used a useless hard drive to prop up the table, and she tried to kill me.
00:09:00She's jealous I'm marrying you.
00:09:01She wanted me to die in all this glass.
00:09:06I didn't push her.
00:09:07I didn't push her.
00:09:07Where's my drive?
00:09:08The only thing my parents left me.
00:09:10Ella, stop it!
00:09:11Are you willing to throw your life away for a piece of junk?
00:09:21Caleb, I got it.
00:09:25Ella, you've really disappointed me.
00:09:27His words completely shattered the fantasy I've held for 16 years.
00:09:30I saw him as a god, my only salvation.
00:09:32But in his eyes, I'm not even worth a single tear from Serena.
00:09:37Get it back!
00:09:38It's the only thing they left me!
00:09:40You dared to hurt someone over a worthless piece of junk?
00:09:42Serena is the future lady of the Thorn family.
00:09:44Your viciousness makes me sick.
00:09:58Now that this is gone, you will behave yourself.
00:10:00If you pull something like this again, I'll have you sent straight to prison.
00:10:04As you wish, Mr. Thorn.
00:10:08Ella, as Caleb's former mentor, I have to warn you.
00:10:10Project Absolute Zero is an extremely high-risk, one-way research mission.
00:10:13Once you enter the subatomic Crimo chamber, your biological clock will be frozen in these cases.
00:10:17You could suffer brain death at any time during hibernation.
00:10:19Are you sure you want to do this?
00:10:20Ella, even if you want to get away from Caleb, you don't have to gamble your life on this.
00:10:24There's no other way.
00:10:25He raised me for 16 years, and only the high compensation from just Stamets and Parabit Alhwe.
00:10:30This is the only way I can completely cut all glungs with him.
00:10:36If you've made up your mind, this still needs the signature and authorization of your legal guardian to take full
00:10:41effect.
00:10:45The scabs on your hands have barely healed, and you're already here to get in my way again?
00:10:49This is a research project application.
00:10:51I need my guardian's signature.
00:10:53Another garbage grant application, Ella?
00:10:55Can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:10:57This is the last time.
00:10:59It better be.
00:11:06Take the money and get out of this penthouse.
00:11:08Once you sign this, disappear from my site for good.
00:11:17Caleb, starting today, I will disappear from your world forever.
00:11:29Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to liquidate all of this?
00:11:31This cart-eating sapphire necklace was custom-made by Mr. Thorne as your birthday gift.
00:11:37Pack everything.
00:11:38I'll take below market value if the funds can be transferred today.
00:11:41Understood.
00:11:41I'll arrange it immediately.
00:11:44I once thought all of this was proof of his affection for me, but it turned out to be nothing
00:11:49but a way to keep me caged.
00:11:51Miss Bennett, as you requested, the full liquidation is complete.
00:11:54From the day you were taken into the Thorne family's custody at age 8 until now.
00:11:57This includes your private school and goal endowments, university tuition, living expenses, medical bills, and even the H.O. fees
00:12:02for this Manhattan penthouse.
00:12:03Plus the maximum commercial loan interest over these 16 years, the total is 80 million U.S. dollars.
00:12:09Not a single cent is missing, correct?
00:12:10That's right.
00:12:11But, Miss Bennett, are you sure you want to do this?
00:12:12There's no legal obligation for you to pay this back.
00:12:15I don't want to owe him anything.
00:12:18This is almost your entire net worth.
00:12:20It doesn't matter.
00:12:21This money is exactly enough to buy out my 16 years.
00:12:25Use every resource in the lab.
00:12:26I want every single bit of data on this drive recovered.
00:12:29No exceptions.
00:12:30Mr. Thorne, this drive suffered catastrophic physical damage
00:12:33and was submerged in ice water.
00:12:34Even with the most advanced quantum recovery equipment,
00:12:36the success rate is extremely low.
00:12:38I don't want to hear about probabilities.
00:12:39If you can't recover the data, your entire team is out of Manhattan tomorrow.
00:12:44Yes, sir.
00:12:45I'll handle it immediately.
00:12:52Sir, these are the final funding documents for Project Absolute Zero,
00:12:55a joint initiative between the Pentagon and NASA.
00:12:57They require your final confirmation and signature.
00:13:00For routine approvals like this, have the VP sign them from now on.
00:13:26Why is Ella's name on this list?
00:13:29Volunteer 01 for the Subatomic Creo Chamber.
00:13:31Sign the highest risk one-way agreement, waiving all rights to their life.
00:13:34There's no way this is Miss Bennett.
00:13:41A death waiver?
00:13:42No, this can't be happening.
00:13:44The number you have dialed is switched off.
00:13:46Cancel all my meetings this afternoon.
00:13:47But sir, we're supposed to finalize the wedding venue this afternoon.
00:13:53Caleb!
00:13:53The designer from Paris is waiting downstairs.
00:13:55Come help me pick from these wedding dresses.
00:13:57Move.
00:13:57I don't have time for this right now.
00:13:59Where are you going?
00:14:00We're sending out the invitations tomorrow.
00:14:02Is there anything more important than our wedding?
00:14:11Check.
00:14:12Immediately access the back-end database of the federal recruitment system
00:14:15and re-verify the identity file for Volunteer 01.
00:14:17Yes, sir.
00:14:18Accessing it now.
00:14:20Sir, it's verified.
00:14:21There was an input error on the document.
00:14:23Volunteer 01 is a Hispanic male.
00:14:26The $100,000 has been wired.
00:14:29Received.
00:14:30Which database do you want to access?
00:14:31Federal recruitment system, Volunteer 01.
00:14:33Wipe the original name, change the gender to male,
00:14:35and plug in a random Hispanic background.
00:14:37Full network coverage in two minutes.
00:14:39Caleb, what could possibly make you ignore our wedding guest list like this?
00:14:42It's nothing.
00:14:43I knew it.
00:14:45She'd never have the guts to sign a one-way death agreement like that.
00:14:55Stop it!
00:14:55Cut the power right now!
00:14:57Her brainwaves are hitting the critical threshold!
00:14:59Terminating desensitization stimuli.
00:15:05Ella, are you out of your mind?
00:15:08Not even specially trained soldiers can handle this level of simulated hibernation pain.
00:15:11I signed the agreement.
00:15:13There's no turning back.
00:15:17Please, all volunteers of the Project Absolute Zero, go to Hall 1.
00:15:20The representative of the largest private capital sponsor is about to give a speech.
00:15:24Sponsor?
00:15:25I thought the military was keeping this whole thing classified from the public.
00:15:27Come on.
00:15:29Pentagon clearance isn't something just anyone can get.
00:15:44Caleb, why is he here?
00:15:47Sir, these are the advanced volunteers for the subatomic cryopod program.
00:15:50Subject Zero-One is among them.
00:15:52Zero-One?
00:15:53That is my number.
00:15:54He did not just know I signed that death warrant.
00:15:57He is here to make sure I really disappear from his world for good.
00:16:02I am not here to give you cheap sympathy or empty words of comfort.
00:16:06Thorne Global Group has poured $10 billion into Project Absolute Zero.
00:16:09As far as I am concerned, the one-way agreement you signed is nothing more than a high-risk,
00:16:12high-reward investment.
00:16:13Scientific progress always comes with a cost.
00:16:15As long as the data is valuable, every write-off is an acceptable business experience.
00:16:18Sixteen years by his side, and in his eyes,
00:16:21I am nothing more than a set of cold numbers he can write off whenever he wants.
00:16:28Sir, it's Miss Serena Huntington.
00:16:30The Huntington family is pressing for the final maid of honor list for the wedding
00:16:33and security confirmation for the yacht party.
00:16:47Ella, you okay?
00:16:52I'm fine.
00:16:55Caleb, my life is yours to keep.
00:16:57I hope you and your bride have a very happy wedding.
00:17:02Three days.
00:17:03I cut off all her cards.
00:17:04She can't survive without me.
00:17:05She's definitely holed up in that room, crying her eyes out right now.
00:17:08Influid user.
00:17:09Permission.
00:17:09Heaven cleared.
00:17:10Ah, that's not possible.
00:17:14You changed the lock code?
00:17:15Ella, you've got some nerve.
00:17:25Ella!
00:17:26Get out here!
00:17:28Quit with this childish game!
00:17:40We're even?
00:17:41Ella?
00:17:42Who the hell gave you permission to be even with me?
00:17:52Sorry.
00:17:53The number you have dialed has switched off.
00:17:58Damn it, Ella!
00:17:59You think you can hide somewhere and I won't find you?
00:18:10Caleb, there you are.
00:18:12Look, Vera sent this over personally.
00:18:14You haven't even tried on your tux yet.
00:18:17Take it off.
00:18:19What?
00:18:20I said take that disgusting dress off.
00:18:22The wedding's off.
00:18:23Are you insane?
00:18:25Every media outlet in New York is waiting for the ceremony tomorrow.
00:18:28Both our family's stocks jumped 10 points off this merger and you're saying it's off now?
00:18:33Don't make me say it twice.
00:18:34Ella's gone.
00:18:36Until I find her, no one's walking through the doors of the Thorn Estate as my wife.
00:18:43Caleb!
00:18:45You're humiliating me for that little part!
00:18:58Who the hell gave you permission to move anything in here?
00:19:00Where's the owner?
00:19:01Sir, we're just doing our job.
00:19:02Hey man, who are you looking for?
00:19:04Who the hell are you?
00:19:05This house belongs to Ella Bennett.
00:19:07What gives you the right to live here?
00:19:09Chill out!
00:19:10I bought this place through a licensed agency.
00:19:12I'm the legal owner now.
00:19:14Mr. Thorn!
00:19:15Please let go of this.
00:19:16This is all completely legal.
00:19:17You're the realtor for this property.
00:19:19Who gave you the balls to sell it?
00:19:20It was Mrs. Ella Bennett herself, sir.
00:19:22She came into the office a week ago and signed all the paperwork personally.
00:19:25Her only condition was that we sell it 20% below market value,
00:19:28but the full cash amount had to hit her account within 24 hours.
00:19:48Caleb, does that look straight?
00:19:51Doesn't it feel like home now?
00:19:52The whole of Manhattan can be your home, as long as you stay where I can see you.
00:20:01What else did she sell?
00:20:03Mrs. Bennett also liquidated all the vehicles in her name,
00:20:06as well as her holdings in the charitable foundation.
00:20:10Did she say anything else to you?
00:20:12She said...
00:20:14She said she was going away,
00:20:15and everything she needed for the rest of her life fit in a single envelope.
00:20:18All the cash she got from the sales went into that check she wrote to you, sir.
00:20:22She's planned this all along.
00:20:23She was planning to leave me this whole time.
00:20:25Track Ella Bennett's location right now.
00:20:27I don't care what it costs.
00:20:28Find her!
00:20:47Caleb, I want to join the research my parents never got to finish.
00:20:53I said no.
00:20:54Remember, Ella?
00:20:55You don't go anywhere without my permission.
00:20:57You stay right here with me.
00:21:03Ella, you lied to me!
00:21:19Research sponsorship.
00:21:22I signed my name on this damn thing, myself.
00:21:31This is a research project application.
00:21:33I need my guardian's signature.
00:21:35Another garbage grant application, Ella.
00:21:37Can you do anything besides leech off me for money?
00:21:39This is the last time.
00:21:41It better be.
00:21:48Take the money and get out of this penthouse.
00:21:50Once you sign this, disappear from my site for good.
00:21:55Ella, you lied to me!
00:22:01Mark, lock down every subatomic lab in Manhattan.
00:22:04Now!
00:22:04Sir, the military's already taking control.
00:22:06We can't stop them.
00:22:30The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:22:33The number you have dialed is not in service.
00:22:44Did you find Ella?
00:22:46No, sir.
00:22:48I spend tens of millions a year on you and your team.
00:22:50And you're telling me you can't find one single person?
00:22:52Who's Bennett's data?
00:22:53It's been wiped.
00:22:54Her social security number, bank accounts, medical records, access logs, even her cloud photos.
00:22:59Everything's gone.
00:23:05Ella, you think wiping yourself off the map means I won't find you?
00:23:08I'm going to hunt you down myself and bring you back.
00:23:15Sir, we've sorted through over 3,000 hours of footage, and we still haven't found any sign of Ms. Bennett.
00:23:20Then sort through 30,000.
00:23:22I don't care if we have to turn over every inch of Manhattan.
00:23:23You will find her!
00:23:27Wait!
00:23:27Rewind three seconds.
00:23:28Bottom left corner.
00:23:35I found you.
00:23:37Bad girls get punished, you know.
00:23:42Remember this.
00:23:43In Manhattan, you're nothing but my property.
00:23:46Step out a line, and you get punished.
00:23:50I'll be good, Daddy.
00:23:52I promise.
00:23:58Now let this little runaway game of yours, it's over.
00:24:01I don't know.
00:24:34Ella, get out here and face me!
00:24:38On your knees.
00:24:39Hands behind your head.
00:24:40Where's Ella?
00:24:41I need to see Ella Bennett!
00:24:48Ella!
00:24:49Give her back to me!
00:24:51Give me my Ella back!
00:25:00Mr. Thorne.
00:25:01You signed this document last week.
00:25:02Under this agreement, this facility is designated as top-secret federal restricted land.
00:25:07You are not authorized to enter.
00:25:08I signed a research sponsorship!
00:25:10My Ella is in there!
00:25:11Let her out!
00:25:11Ella, you get out here right now!
00:25:13How dare you!
00:25:15How dare you sign up for this death trap behind my back!
00:25:22Daddy, I want to restart my parents' project, Absolute Zero Research, to finish what they started.
00:25:29That garbage your parents were working on?
00:25:31It's worthless.
00:25:32There's no point to any of it.
00:25:34Daddy, I...
00:25:34I'm warning you, you don't touch that research without my permission.
00:25:39Okay, Daddy.
00:25:40I'll listen.
00:25:41Get off me!
00:25:44Ella!
00:25:45Look at me!
00:25:46I'm ordering you to turn around!
00:25:56Sir, we pulled Ms. Bennett's file.
00:25:58We had to bypass the board's standard review and use security privileges to get this data.
00:26:10What the hell does citizenship revocation mean?
00:26:12According to the experimental brief we obtained, the program requires volunteers to enter the subatomic cryopod.
00:26:17Once the procedure starts, the volunteer's metabolic functions will drop to a complete stamp still.
00:26:20Legally speaking, she will be declared deceased.
00:26:23Get the jet ready!
00:26:24I will not let her go through with this!
00:26:34Caleb, in such a rush to see your little pet, don't forget, I'm your fiancé.
00:26:39Get out of my way, Serena.
00:26:40I won't warn you twice.
00:26:42Per the Prianodil agreement's default close, if you leave right now, Thorn Global Group's stop will plummet faster than you
00:26:48can fathom.
00:26:49My family will pull all funding immediately, and that precious business empire of yours will crumble to dust in an
00:26:53instant.
00:27:00Take off!
00:27:01Take off!
00:27:02Right now!
00:27:05Sir, Houston's being hit by a massive storm.
00:27:08Houston airspace is closed.
00:27:09A no-fly order has been issued.
00:27:11All private routes to and from the space base are cancelled indefinitely.
00:27:14God damn it!
00:27:22Step back, Mr. Thorne.
00:27:23This is federal military restricted property.
00:27:25No entry is permitted.
00:27:26Move.
00:27:27Get Ella Bennett out here right now.
00:27:29I'm her legal guardian.
00:27:30Per the Federal Asset Protection Agreement, Dr. Bennett is now classified as National Scientific Research Property.
00:27:34She has signed on to Project Absolute Zero, and no one has the right to interfere.
00:27:38Property!
00:27:39I raised her for 16 years!
00:27:41Everything she is, everything she has is mine!
00:27:43You dare tell me I have no rights?
00:27:45Remember this!
00:27:47You're my most perfect investment.
00:27:48Everything you are is mine.
00:27:50Caleb, I'm yours.
00:27:52I'll never leave you.
00:27:55Daddy, please.
00:27:57Same master.
00:27:58I'll tear this whole facility down if I have to.
00:28:00I'm taking her with me today.
00:28:03You can't take her anymore, Caleb.
00:28:07Elliot, you're just her old college classmate.
00:28:09What makes you think you can stop me?
00:28:10Open this gate, and give my girl back.
00:28:13Your girl.
00:28:14She's a brilliant biophysics PhD, not your personal pet to lock away.
00:28:18I'm her sugar daddy.
00:28:19I'm the one who gave her every luxury she's ever had.
00:28:21Without me, she would have died with her parents when she was eight years old.
00:28:24Tell her to get out here and see me!
00:28:26You drove all the way across the country here throwing a fit.
00:28:28Are you here as the daddy who bought her life, or as a man who lost the only woman he's
00:28:33ever loved?
00:28:37Next time you dare talk to another man behind my back, this punishment will be the least of your worries.
00:28:42Caleb, what am I to you, really?
00:28:45What is she to you, Caleb?
00:28:47I, I...
00:28:58Caleb, I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:29:01I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:29:04When you get that official offer from the Ivy League...
00:29:06I'll get it, you have to keep your promise!
00:29:10I'm her guardian.
00:29:12I can't just stand by and watch her die.
00:29:14She's already in the near absolute zero subatomic scanning pod.
00:29:17Her vital signs are frozen in stasis, forever.
00:29:20How could it happen so fast?
00:29:21This is how she's cutting every last tie to you, Caleb.
00:29:23You've lost her, forever.
00:29:37The agents won't hold him off for long.
00:29:39The base already received a legal notice from Thorne Global Group.
00:29:42This is the last transatlantic flight out tonight.
00:29:45You can still back out of the experiment.
00:29:47You don't have to throw your life away to get back at a madman.
00:29:50Geneva?
00:29:51To go be another socialite in a couture gown there?
00:29:53You can start over.
00:29:55Elliot, my soul died on my 24th birthday.
00:30:00That Creopod?
00:30:02It's the perfect fit for this soulless body of mine.
00:30:09I don't care what you have to do.
00:30:11I want Project Absolute Zero's funding dried up in five minutes.
00:30:14Sir, this is a federal government-backed project.
00:30:16Then buy up every last debt this lab owes!
00:30:19Cut their power!
00:30:20Freeze every single research account!
00:30:21If she wants to lock herself in that freezer, I'll smash it to pieces!
00:30:25No one takes her from me.
00:30:27Not even death!
00:30:31Sir, we ran it all down.
00:30:34Ms. Bennett sold every property, every piece of jewelry you ever gave her, including that vintage Pathé Fear Ape watch.
00:30:42She sold that watch?
00:30:44Yes, sir.
00:30:46She put all the cash from the sales into an anonymous trust in your name.
00:30:49The entire sum has been donated to the families of the victims from the lab explosion at Thorne Global Group.
00:30:54Sixteen years ago.
00:30:56She gave everything back, every last thing, used it to sever the final thread between us.
00:31:04Caleb!
00:31:05What the hell is going on?
00:31:06The designer has been waiting for two hours.
00:31:08Where the hell is Ella?
00:31:10She bailed on the bridesmaid fitting, and I look like a fool!
00:31:12You froze her card, so go find her and make her whole train.
00:31:15Dressed?
00:31:16Looking like a fool?
00:31:23Merger?
00:31:23Orders?
00:31:24I threw the only woman I've ever loved into a grave for this meaningless garbage.
00:31:28Let go of me.
00:31:30Your disgusting face isn't worth a single hair on her head.
00:31:35Have you lost your mind?
00:31:36I'm your fiancé.
00:31:38How dare you treat me like this?
00:31:39Get out.
00:31:40The engagement's off.
00:31:41I don't want to see your face every day.
00:31:44Get the finance team in here.
00:31:46Mr. Thorne, what are you planning?
00:31:47Sell every share in the group.
00:31:48Liquidate every asset to my name.
00:31:50I'm buying the lab.
00:31:51I want full control of that cryopod.
00:31:54You can't run from me, Ella.
00:31:56I told you.
00:31:57Without my permission, even death can't take you away from me.
00:32:05Mr. Thorne, today's proceedings are closed.
00:32:08Only invited scientific delegates and official media are permitted entry.
00:32:12Closed?
00:32:1370% of the liquid helium cooling patents used in Project Absolute Zero
00:32:17belong to Thorne Global Group.
00:32:19I'm here as the lead sponsor and patent holder to inspect my assets.
00:32:24But Dr. Hayes specifically instructed us.
00:32:25Listen to me.
00:32:26I don't care what Hayes said.
00:32:28Move.
00:32:30Or in five minutes, my legal team will file a mandatory injunction to the federal court
00:32:34and cut the power to the entire court facility.
00:32:51Please don't.
00:32:56Good afternoon.
00:32:57Today, Project Absolute Zero officially enters its live testing phase.
00:33:01As the first test subject for the Deep Cryo Hibernation Pod,
00:33:05I'd like to deliver my final project briefing here.
00:33:07I chose this project to carry on my parents' legacy in biophysics.
00:33:12The experimental data they left unfinished will be continued by me when I wake.
00:33:18Thank you to NASCA for the equipment support and to my mentor, Dr. Arthur.
00:33:23A special thank you to researcher Elliot Hayes.
00:33:27I never would have made it this far without you.
00:33:30I have cut every last tie to my past.
00:33:32My research and this body belong to the future.
00:33:36Brief and complete.
00:33:40Ella.
00:33:49Mr. Thorne, don't move.
00:33:53This facility is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense.
00:33:59She's mine.
00:34:00You have no right to take her from me.
00:34:02Ella.
00:34:03Look at me.
00:34:04The wedding's off.
00:34:05Don't go in there.
00:34:11Come home with me.
00:34:13Daddy will take you away anything you want.
00:34:15Happy wedding, Daddy.
00:34:19Once this locks in, it's 20 years.
00:34:22Are you sure about this?
00:34:23Start it.
00:34:27Ella!
00:34:34Sir, we found out what happened.
00:34:35The reason the lab was able to push through the experiment despite your freeze order is
00:34:39because someone filed federal approval on their behalf.
00:34:42Who?
00:34:42It was Miss Serena Huntington.
00:34:44She used her family's political connections to greenlight the lab.
00:34:47Roll the cameras.
00:34:49Mr. Thorne is simply suffering from exhaustion from the recent merger.
00:34:52He's resting up well.
00:34:53Our engagement ceremony will proceed as scheduled.
00:34:56Get out.
00:34:57The press is right outside.
00:34:58If you throw a fit in, the group's stock will crash.
00:35:02Let every reporter outside in here.
00:35:03Now.
00:35:05I'm only here to announce two things today.
00:35:12First, the engagement is off.
00:35:14Effective immediately, Thorne Global Group is severing all business ties with the Huntington family.
00:35:18Second, I will be liquidating my entire personal stake in the company,
00:35:22with all proceeds going to the continued research of Project Absolute Zero.
00:35:28Caleb, the default penalties for this manateral breach are astronomical.
00:35:33Save your breath.
00:35:35My legal team submitted all evidence of the Huntington family's offshore fund manipulation to the SEC half an hour ago.
00:35:41The FBI should be raiding your father's office right about now.
00:35:43You can worry about the default penalties when you're paying your family's legal fees.
00:35:46Have you lost your mind?
00:35:48You're going to take down two entire conglomerates for that woman?
00:35:51You're the one who locked her in that pod.
00:35:52I locked her in there?
00:35:53Who are you trying to fool with this lovesick act, Caleb?
00:35:55Did I force her to sign that agreement?
00:35:57Was I the one who, in front of all of New York's high society,
00:36:01shoved that peanut butter salad down her throat and watched her choke and go into an anaphylactic shock?
00:36:05You treated her like a dog you could kick around whenever you wanted.
00:36:08You're the one who drove her to this.
00:36:09She'd rather freeze herself solid than look at you ever again.
00:36:13Don't pin this on me, Caleb.
00:36:14You know better than anyone.
00:36:15The person she hates most in this world is you.
00:36:17Get out!
00:36:18All of you!
00:36:19Get out!
00:36:27Mr. Thorne, if we move forward with this liquidation,
00:36:29the 60-year legacy of Thorne Global Gleam will be gone in an instant.
00:36:33This is suicide!
00:36:34I want cash.
00:36:35Nothing else.
00:36:36Have you lost your mind, Caleb?
00:36:38You are going to dissolve the entire conglomerate for this dead-end cryo project?
00:36:40As far as I am concerned,
00:36:42this entire conglomerate is not worth a single breath of liquid nitrogen for her.
00:36:45Liquidate every factory, every patent.
00:36:47I want the cash in my account by sundown.
00:36:50Mr. Thorne, this is the sum is enough to buy three space agencies.
00:36:54Effective immediately, Ms. Bennett cryopod is under exclusive monitoring protocols.
00:36:58Exclusive?
00:36:59That means no one gets near her but me.
00:37:00No exceptions.
00:37:02Yes, sir.
00:37:02All personnel, including Dr. Hayes,
00:37:05are prohibited from entering a five-mile radius of the monitoring station
00:37:08without your explicit authorization.
00:37:13See, Ella?
00:37:15I told you.
00:37:16You cannot run from me without my permission.
00:37:19I told you.
00:37:38Ella?
00:37:43Caleb, it hurts.
00:37:46Be a good girl.
00:37:49I know.
00:37:50Caleb, I only have you.
00:37:53Daddy, please.
00:37:54Don't leave me.
00:37:56Never leave me.
00:38:01I will never leave you.
00:38:03You hear me?
00:38:04Not until the day I die.
00:38:06You are stuck with me.
00:38:08For the rest of your life!
00:38:10It is okay.
00:38:12I am not going anywhere.
00:38:16I am right here, waiting for you.
00:38:20I am right here, waiting for you.
00:38:36They say the snow will bury us all, but I think it's just the beginning.
00:38:40I am right here.
00:38:41I am right here.
00:38:45I am right here.
00:38:45I am right here.
00:38:54Open!
00:38:56God damn it, open!
00:39:00She can't die!
00:39:10You're mine. No one can take you from me.
00:39:17Mr. Thorne, this violates every ethical review. Buying the first right of custody over a test subject makes her your
00:39:23personal property.
00:39:24My foundation will fund this project in full, indefinitely.
00:39:31On one condition, only I can to wake her up.
00:39:34Even if she's nothing but a corpse, she's my corpse.
00:40:08Soon, Ella. We'll be together forever soon.
00:40:22Ella.
00:40:29Don't you dare run. You owe me. We'll never pay it off, not in this life.
00:40:34Caleb.
00:40:46Are you dead?
00:41:11Don't go! Take me with you!
00:41:15Go back, Ella. Finish Project Dusk Homecoming. Clear your name.
00:41:30I'm still here.
00:41:39Ella, I can't hold on much longer.
00:41:59No! You cannot leave me!
00:42:02No!
00:42:19Ella Bennet. We did it. Welcome to 20 years later.
00:42:28Elliot.
00:42:29I'm here.
00:42:30I want to start new research. I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:42:35I want to start new research. I am not wasting a single second on the past.
00:43:01The board wants to see the data by Friday.
00:43:03I'm on it.
00:43:06I saw the report.
00:43:10Caleb, I don't want to be your secret mistress locked away in a penthouse anymore.
00:43:13I want to stand by your side, in the light.
00:43:16Today's my 24th birthday.
00:43:17I got the faculty offer from Fairkitch.
00:43:21You said once I had it, you'd consider us.
00:43:24I spent millions raising you, and this is how you repay me?
00:43:27With this filthy little scheme?
00:43:28I was waiting for you to start new research.
00:43:29Let me make a part of my dream.
00:43:29Let me make a part of my dream.
00:43:30I don't know what a dream is.
00:43:34Let me make some more.
00:43:41Let me make a part of everything.
00:43:57how are you?
00:43:59What's wrong with this janitor? Is he sick?
00:44:01He's coughing up blood, looks like.
00:44:07Are you alright? You should go to the infirmary.
00:44:16These hands are only for painting me, or pleasing me.
00:44:23Daddy, not here.
00:44:25Leave him be, Ella. He's probably scared.
00:44:31Come on, we're going to be late for the meeting.
00:44:33I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:44:40If we plug this set of variables into the absolute zero field,
00:44:43the underlying code logic it gets completely rewritten.
00:44:46Ellicott, we were right about the original direction of the deduction.
00:44:49Your intuition is incredible, Ella.
00:44:51Once we fill in this data, we can prove the explosion all those years ago was deliberate sabotage.
00:45:15You bought the entire Alaska experimental base through dozens of shell companies.
00:45:21You sold off every share of Thorpe Global Group, spent every last dime to keep her life support running?
00:45:26The once untouchable king of Wall Street, now hiding in a janitor's closet, mopping her floors?
00:45:31Why are you hiding from her, Caleb?
00:45:32Don't tell her.
00:45:34You spent 20 years of your life for this, just to be a janitor?
00:45:39Just let her think I'm still in Manhattan, living the high life of Serena.
00:45:43Please, don't tell her.
00:45:45Look at me now, Elliot.
00:45:47I'll only sicken her like this.
00:46:15Remember this notion.
00:46:22Who wrote this?
00:46:23The deduction is flawless.
00:46:25I'm a coward.
00:46:27What?
00:46:27Forget it.
00:46:28We'll redo it with our own data.
00:46:47Mrs. Bennett, this is everything left in Mr. Thorne's name.
00:46:50He signed over full control of all of it to you.
00:46:52Everything left?
00:46:53The once king of Wall Street is playing the pity card with this cheap trick now?
00:46:56Sirs, his health is in terrible shape.
00:46:58He only hopes you'll accept this.
00:46:59It's all he has left to give you.
00:47:04Go back and tell him this.
00:47:06He can't buy my forgiveness with money.
00:47:08Never.
00:47:19Serena Huntington?
00:47:22Ella Bennett, 20 whole years, and you haven't aged a day.
00:47:27How the hell is that fair?
00:47:28What happened to the Huntington family princess?
00:47:31Didn't Caleb get you a good stylist?
00:47:34Caleb?
00:47:34You actually thought he married me?
00:47:36Let go of me.
00:47:37You're drunk.
00:47:38The second you stepped into that cryopod, that lunatic tore up the engagement in front of everyone.
00:47:42He burned every bridge with the Huntington family.
00:47:45He sold off every core share of Thornt Global, even mortgaged the Hampton estate.
00:47:49Hored every last cent into that goddamned cryo project.
00:47:51He went bankrupt, ended up half paralyzed, turned into a no-gold dog just to keep your vitals going.
00:47:55What are you so proud of, Ella?
00:47:56You think you ever paid him back?
00:47:58Caleb?
00:48:12Mr. Thorne.
00:48:16Mr. Thorne, Ella's attachment to you has gone far beyond normal bounds.
00:48:20This is a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:48:22I gave her the best of everything Manhattan has to offer.
00:48:24But you have also stripped her of the chance to grow as an independent person.
00:48:27If you do not push her away, cut off this toxic dynamic, she will never be anything more than your
00:48:31accessories.
00:48:31You have to be the villain.
00:48:33You have to shatter every last fantasy she has about you.
00:48:41So that is what this means.
00:48:48Caleb's Thorne.
00:48:50That engagement was just a business deal between me and Caleb.
00:48:53He bailed my family out of financial ruin, and I helped him break your heart for good.
00:48:59That peanut butter salad wasn't Caleb's doing.
00:49:01It was all a mistake.
00:49:14Open the archives.
00:49:15Now!
00:49:16No regrets seeing this, Ella.
00:49:18I said open it!
00:49:19I want to see everything Caleb left behind.
00:49:20All of it!
00:49:29It's not possible.
00:49:31They were all supposed to be gone.
00:49:35Stop it!
00:49:36Open!
00:49:39Goddammit, open!
00:49:42She can't die!
00:49:55Why?
00:49:56Why didn't you let me die 20 years ago?
00:50:03Why did you take away my right to even hate you?
00:50:08I can't do this.
00:50:09I can't do this.
00:50:13Hello?
00:50:22What is this?
00:50:24Trust fund beneficiary change?
00:50:27Manhattan deed?
00:50:2920 years.
00:50:31But that's...
00:50:32the day I woke up.
00:50:34Today's my 24th birthday.
00:50:36I got the faculty offer from Fairkitch.
00:50:39You said once I had it, you'd consider us...
00:50:43I spent millions raising you.
00:50:45And this is how you repay me?
00:50:46With this filthy little scheme?
00:50:47I just love you, Caleb.
00:50:49Love?
00:50:50You're nothing but a pet I pay to keep around.
00:50:52You read a few books,
00:50:53and you actually think you can climb your master's bed?
00:50:59You think these worthless pieces of paper
00:51:02can make up
00:51:04for what you did to me?
00:51:15No.
00:51:16This isn't real.
00:51:21I'll wake you up.
00:51:23I swear I will.
00:51:28I'm sorry, Ella.
00:51:30I spent the gift money on a backup power supply for your pod.
00:51:32Short 3K for maintenance today.
00:51:35Sold the watch.
00:51:36You idiot!
00:51:36You think giving me everything will make me forgive you?
00:51:41Hide well, Daddy.
00:51:43I'm coming for you.
00:51:48Ms. Bennett.
00:51:49Sign here.
00:51:50And the experimental base Mr. Thocker owns
00:51:52will be legally transferred to you.
00:51:59Congratulations, Ms. Bennett.
00:52:01You are now the youngest tycoon in New York.
00:52:08Mrs. Bennett,
00:52:09Mr. Thorne told me not to say anything,
00:52:11but I have to.
00:52:12He did not leave because he wanted to.
00:52:13He just, he did not know how to face you 24 and perfect
00:52:16with his broken, old, paralyzed body.
00:52:23Genius astrophysicist Ella Bennett,
00:52:25who was frozen for 20 years,
00:52:26has announced her return to the public eye.
00:52:28Wall Street sources say she has inherited a mysterious fortune,
00:52:31making her New York Suez financial palichore.
00:52:33Food is here.
00:52:34Just soup today.
00:52:37Ella Bennett.
00:52:54This is all Daddy has left to give you.
00:53:01Fly free, kitty.
00:53:02Don't let these rotting bones
00:53:04sully your eyes.
00:53:11It is right here, ma'am.
00:53:14Get lost.
00:53:22Who told you to come here?
00:53:24Get out!
00:53:31Go away.
00:53:34Don't look.
00:53:37Stop it.
00:53:38Where did you think you'd run to, Caleb?
00:53:40You spent 20 years and every last cent
00:53:42to trap me in this body.
00:53:43Now you think you can just walk away?
00:53:45I have nothing left.
00:53:48You still have your life.
00:53:51You're crazy.
00:53:52You've lost your mind.
00:53:57You don't get to die without my permission.
00:54:01Get Mr. Thorne in the car.
00:54:03Gentle.
00:54:03Don't hurt his legs.
00:54:04Ella Bennett,
00:54:06you can't do this.
00:54:09Don't be scared, Daddy.
00:54:10From today on,
00:54:11I'm the one taking care of you.
00:54:21What the hell is this?
00:54:22You're awake.
00:54:26Get that off.
00:54:27I don't need it.
00:54:34Don't bother fighting it.
00:54:36From now on,
00:54:37I decide everything about you.
00:54:43Ella.
00:54:44Look at me.
00:54:45You don't get to look away in this room.
00:54:49What are you hiding from?
00:54:51No.
00:54:53You can't handle this already?
00:54:55No.
00:54:57Eyes closed.
00:54:58Eyes closed.
00:55:01What are you...
00:55:03You didn't actually think I wanted your old broken body,
00:55:06did you, Caleb?
00:55:07Don't touch me.
00:55:20No.
00:55:28Hello, Caleb.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:31Should I call the nurse in?
00:55:32No.
00:55:33Wait for me outside.
00:55:34Got it.
00:55:38What are you throwing a fit about?
00:55:41Why did you bring him here?
00:55:43I'm not even dead yet,
00:55:44and you're already rushing to bring another man into our home!
00:55:51Are you jealous?
00:55:53I'm not.
00:55:54Be with whoever you want.
00:55:54I don't care.
00:55:59Elliot's staying the night.
00:56:01Remember what you said,
00:56:02and keep quiet.
00:56:17No, she is mine,
00:56:19and mine alone!
00:56:27God, I know I am a sinner.
00:56:29All those years ago,
00:56:30I used my power and my money
00:56:31to lure that innocent girl in.
00:56:33I ruined her.
00:56:36But I cannot bring myself
00:56:38to wish her happiness.
00:56:40I cannot stand to watch her walk away to another man.
00:56:43I want to drag her back
00:56:44into this dark room with me,
00:56:46even if I am nothing but a broken old man now.
00:56:52Come back.
00:56:58Was that convincing enough for you?
00:57:00Perfect.
00:57:01He is probably losing his mind in there right now.
00:57:06You know he does not have much time left.
00:57:08Why are you torturing him like this?
00:57:10Because torture is the only way he ever taught me to show love.
00:57:13Only when he lets go of that stubborn pride of his
00:57:15can we ever have anything real between us.
00:57:21Mr. Thorne,
00:57:22these are the medical decision-making power
00:57:24and full guardianship documents.
00:57:26Once you sign,
00:57:27every second of the rest of your life,
00:57:29even the right to live or die,
00:57:31will belong to Mrs. Bennet.
00:57:32I'm all yours now.
00:57:34Do whatever you want to get your revenge.
00:57:36I'll take it all.
00:57:37Everyone out.
00:57:47If only you'd surrendered sooner, Daddy.
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:52I surrender.
00:57:57Look.
00:57:58It's the same view we had
00:57:59from the penthouse over Central Park.
00:58:00Time stood still there,
00:58:02just like the 20 years I waited for you.
00:58:15What are you looking at?
00:58:17Daddy, I'm looking at Manhattan.
00:58:18It's so bright at night.
00:58:22Every light in Manhattan
00:58:24will shine for you, baby girl.
00:58:35When Elik looks at you,
00:58:36I want him gone.
00:58:37You can't even stand up on your own.
00:58:40How are you going to make him disappear?
00:58:42I know this body's failing me,
00:58:45but when I see him touch you,
00:58:47it feels like there's a fire burning in my chest.
00:58:52I'm jealous of every man that gets to hold you.
00:58:55Hell, I'm even jealous of the wind outside
00:58:57because it gets to touch you.
00:58:59So tell me now,
00:59:01was it worth it?
00:59:02Trading 20 years of your life
00:59:04and every last cent you had to wake me up?
00:59:06Worth it.
00:59:07I told you,
00:59:08no one takes you from me without my permission.
00:59:14It's still beating.
00:59:16Every beat is a reminder that you're a sinner.
00:59:19Then let this sinner
00:59:20rot in your hell for eternity.
00:59:23Even when it stops beating,
00:59:25you don't get to run.
00:59:27Your ashes are going to sit on my nightstand.
00:59:30You owe me a debt
00:59:31and you're going to pay it with your soul.
00:59:34Okay.
00:59:36My life,
00:59:37my soul,
00:59:38it's all yours.
00:59:52Are you cold?
00:59:53No.
00:59:59You shouldn't have brought me here.
01:00:01Everyone's staring at you carrying a paralyzed old man.
01:00:04Then let them stare.
01:00:05Let them see.
01:00:08When you were 12,
01:00:08I brought you here.
01:00:09You stared at the cotton candy stand for ages.
01:00:13You bought the whole cart
01:00:14but wouldn't let me have a single bite.
01:00:16I've always been a controlling bastard.
01:00:19It's too late to admit that now.
01:00:25What did the doctor say to you?
01:00:26Why'd you bring me out here today?
01:00:28The doctor said your vitals are stable.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:31I'll listen to you always.
01:00:33Back then,
01:00:34I always walked ahead,
01:00:35handling business.
01:00:36And I always followed three steps behind you.
01:00:39You don't have to chase my shadow anymore.
01:00:41You're not going anywhere, Caleb.
01:00:48On your 18th birthday,
01:00:49you talked back to me.
01:00:50So I locked you in the penthouse for three days.
01:00:53After that,
01:00:53I sent my assistant here to pick out
01:00:54the biggest pink diamond they had for you.
01:00:57You always tried to shut me up with checks and jewelry.
01:00:59Bought my silence with money.
01:01:01Back then,
01:01:02I didn't know how to keep you.
01:01:04All I knew how to do
01:01:05was the stupidest,
01:01:06most hurtful thing possible.
01:01:08Wait here for me.
01:01:16Ella, get up.
01:01:17Ella, what are you doing?
01:01:19Get up.
01:01:20I'm a broken old man.
01:01:22I can't give you a future.
01:01:24Once you locked me up with your money,
01:01:26now I'm locking your soul up with this ring.
01:01:30You owe me 20 years.
01:01:32You can never pay it back in this lifetime.
01:01:35This ring is a mark.
01:01:36Even when you die,
01:01:38your soul is mine.
01:01:42Caleb,
01:01:43you're my only home.
01:01:50Mr. Thorne,
01:01:52this is the subatomic Decian authorization you requested.
01:01:54Once activated,
01:01:55your remains will be converted into energy particles
01:01:57of specific wavelength,
01:01:58dispersed into the universe.
01:02:06Ella.
01:02:08I'm here.
01:02:10The doctor said hearing is the last sense to go when you die.
01:02:14I'll keep talking to you right here
01:02:16until you can't hear me anymore.
01:02:22I trapped you here,
01:02:23and now I'm running away first.
01:02:29You signed the papers.
01:02:30You can't run away.
01:02:33I'm going to become a wavelength now.
01:02:35So when the wind blows,
01:02:36when the snow falls,
01:02:37when you look up at the night sky,
01:02:39it'll be me watching over you.
01:02:42You'll always be with me.
01:02:43No matter what form you take,
01:02:44you'll always be mine.
01:02:46I love you.
01:02:47Caleb loves Ella.
01:03:07May he rest in peace.
01:03:09Goodbye, Caleb.
01:03:10We'll miss you.
01:03:13I love you.
01:03:17Miss Bennett,
01:03:18the funeral's over.
01:03:19The press is all outside,
01:03:21and the Thorne Global Board
01:03:22is expecting you to show up soon
01:03:23to stabilize the stock price.
01:03:25Let them wait.
01:03:26Your clothes are soaked through.
01:03:28Before he passed,
01:03:29Mr. Thorne told me to take care of you,
01:03:31no matter what.
01:03:32He's dead.
01:03:33You don't have to follow his orders anymore.
01:03:37But-
01:03:37Take the umbrella and leave.
01:03:47You think dying means
01:03:48I can't find you anymore?
01:03:49You think dying means I can't find you anymore?
01:04:09I can't believe it.
01:04:11How did you-
01:04:21Ella,
01:04:22if you are reading this,
01:04:24I am dead and you are awake.
01:04:26That night at the dinner party,
01:04:28watching you choke and collapse,
01:04:29that was the worst mistake of my life.
01:04:31But I do not regret it.
01:04:32You had the same fire in your eyes as your parents.
01:04:34You did not deserve to be locked up
01:04:36in a penthouse in Manhattan,
01:04:37a pet that only survived
01:04:38by clinging to me.
01:04:39If pushing you away
01:04:40was the only way to save you,
01:04:42I would be the devil
01:04:43a thousand times over.
01:04:48Go finish the work
01:04:49your parents started.
01:04:50That is where your soul belongs.
01:04:52Do not look back.
01:04:54I will be with you always,
01:04:56in the subatomic particles,
01:04:58forever by your side.
01:05:00The letter was written in code,
01:05:02a language only the two of them
01:05:03could understand.
01:05:04It was a desperate plea for help,
01:05:06a last-ditch effort
01:05:08to save the woman he loved.
01:05:11I just...
01:05:12I can't do this alone.
01:05:23This is your fourth all-nighter in a row.
01:05:25I've put all of Caleb's secret funding
01:05:26and unpublished patents up
01:05:27as collateral for this project.
01:05:29The money's burning fast.
01:05:29We need results before the board stages of co.
01:05:31The subatomic noise data collected
01:05:32over those 20 years in crypto
01:05:33is massive.
01:05:34Reverse engineering the logical flaws
01:05:35in the explosion 16 years ago
01:05:36is going to take a long time to compute.
01:05:38We keep missing 0.02%
01:05:39on the critical value
01:05:40for the high-energy particle
01:05:41stabilization experiment.
01:05:42That's the exact same number
01:05:44my parents got stuck on 16 years ago.
01:05:45There's a flaw in the base logic.
01:05:47Go sleep in the lounge for two hours.
01:05:48I'll watch the data.
01:05:50No.
01:05:51This is my work.
01:05:52You go cross-check
01:05:53the fluctuation frequency
01:05:54on the B-group perimeter.
01:05:55I'll build the core model.
01:05:56Got it.
01:05:57Call me if anything comes up.
01:06:09My God.
01:06:11Project Lazarus.
01:06:12It's happening.
01:06:18You look and gunned it to say.
01:06:20It were not due for any
01:06:21in Sol's.
01:06:22He's just to have it to come under.
01:06:23Enough, Ella.
01:06:24Look at yourself.
01:06:25Are you trying to avenge your parents
01:06:27or join them in death?
01:06:34I am not trying to die.
01:06:36I found something.
01:06:39This is a reconstruction
01:06:40of the final 10 seconds
01:06:41of my parents' experiment
01:06:4216 years ago.
01:06:44Someone manually implanted
01:06:45a catastrophic code
01:06:46into the base system
01:06:47which caused the explosion.
01:06:50So this was not
01:06:50a scientific accident.
01:06:52It was murder?
01:06:52It was.
01:06:54Did Mr. Thorne,
01:06:55did he know about this?
01:06:58If he was the mastermind,
01:06:59he never would have saved me.
01:07:00But he definitely knew something.
01:07:02Where are you going?
01:07:04To find the truth.
01:07:12Physical restoration is complete.
01:07:14This is the last
01:07:15communication record
01:07:16pulled from the wreckage
01:07:16of the backup server
01:07:17from 16 years ago.
01:07:18Play it.
01:07:19If they won't sell the tech,
01:07:20then we make it disappear
01:07:21with the genius couple.
01:07:23Clean it up.
01:07:24No loose ends.
01:07:26So that's what happened.
01:07:28What?
01:07:29All these years,
01:07:30Caleb thought it was a flaw
01:07:31in his lab system
01:07:32that killed my parents
01:07:33indirectly.
01:07:35Arthur didn't just
01:07:35kill my parents.
01:07:36He used it to make Caleb
01:07:38live with guilt
01:07:38for the rest of his life.
01:07:40Oh my God.
01:07:41That's it.
01:07:43I'm not letting him
01:07:44get away with this.
01:07:47You're moving in
01:07:48for the takedown?
01:07:49Yeah.
01:07:49I'm going to make him
01:07:50pay back every cent
01:07:51of this 40-year blood debt
01:07:53with interest.
01:07:54Seal all the original
01:07:55evidence and code.
01:07:57Max out the encryption level.
01:08:05Today,
01:08:06on behalf of
01:08:07Thornt Industries,
01:08:08I am proud to unveil
01:08:09this groundbreaking
01:08:10particle stabilization
01:08:11technology to the world.
01:08:15Before you steal
01:08:16someone's life's work,
01:08:16Mr. Sterling,
01:08:17shouldn't you check
01:08:18if the rightful heir
01:08:18is still alive?
01:08:19Security.
01:08:20Get her out of here.
01:08:22If they won't sell the tech,
01:08:23then we make it disappear
01:08:24with the genius couple.
01:08:26Clean it up.
01:08:27No loose ends.
01:08:2816 years ago,
01:08:29you hacked into
01:08:30my parents' labs,
01:08:31stole their algorithm,
01:08:32and implanted a catastrophic
01:08:33code into the base system.
01:08:35You locked the backup
01:08:36cooling valves,
01:08:36causing that irreversible
01:08:37explosion.
01:08:39Ridiculous!
01:08:39A fake simulation
01:08:40and a docked audio clip
01:08:41won't convict me!
01:08:42The encrypted transfer
01:08:43pads for your stolen data,
01:08:45the offshore account
01:08:45flows for your stock shortage.
01:08:47Federal prosecutors
01:08:47already have all of it.
01:08:53You think taking me down
01:08:54will bring Thorne Global
01:08:55back from the dead?
01:09:01Arthur Sterling,
01:09:03everything you lost today
01:09:04is just the interest.
01:09:15It's over, Ella.
01:09:20Let's go.
01:09:27The Thorne Global Board voted unanimously.
01:09:30The Caleb Thorne Research Fund,
01:09:31named after Mr. Thorne,
01:09:32will officially launch tomorrow.
01:09:33The Science and Technology Museum
01:09:35has cleared the central
01:09:35exhibition hall.
01:09:38Send these over there.
01:09:48For Caleb,
01:09:49who saw the beauty
01:09:50in the broken.
01:09:51And for us,
01:09:52who are finally ready
01:09:53to remember.
01:10:00Arthur's been transferred
01:10:01to a maximum security prison,
01:10:03no bail.
01:10:03Thorne Global's stock
01:10:04is up five points today.
01:10:08Everything's back on track now.
01:10:09Ella,
01:10:10it's time for you
01:10:10to start your life over.
01:10:11This is my life now.
01:10:12You know what I mean.
01:10:14Ella,
01:10:15Caleb's gone.
01:10:16He's sub-atomic particles
01:10:17in the universe now.
01:10:18If you'll let me...
01:10:18As long as his wavelength
01:10:19is still out there,
01:10:20he's not gone.
01:10:34Ella,
01:10:35put your coat on.
01:10:39Your health belongs to me.
01:10:41Don't catch a cold.
01:10:42I'm not cold anymore, Daddy.
01:10:44Once you locked me
01:10:45in that penthouse,
01:10:47controlling me
01:10:47with your love.
01:10:49This time,
01:10:50I'm the one
01:10:51locking you up
01:10:52in my signal.
01:10:57He kept transmitting
01:10:59this frequency
01:11:00into deep space
01:11:00for the entire
01:11:01twenty years
01:11:02I was frozen.
01:11:03Trying to find
01:11:04a singularity
01:11:05in the universe.
01:11:07To fold time
01:11:08back on itself.
01:11:12Daddy,
01:11:12what are you looking at?
01:11:15At time.
01:11:16If time could be folded,
01:11:18so many things
01:11:18could be undone.
01:11:30Caleb,
01:11:31what exactly
01:11:31did you want me to hear?
01:11:34Is the agreement ready?
01:11:36Mr. Thorne,
01:11:37once you sign this,
01:11:38she will be entirely
01:11:39in your custody,
01:11:39but if you do this,
01:11:40she will hate you
01:11:41for the rest of her life.
01:11:42She has to hate me.
01:11:44Only if she hates me
01:11:45will she stay far away
01:11:46from the experiment
01:11:46my parents worked on.
01:11:48I can't let Arthur
01:11:48kill her too.
01:11:50Lock her up.
01:11:51Even if she thinks
01:11:52I'm a monster,
01:11:53at least she'll be alive.
01:12:02I heard you, Caleb.
01:12:10System,
01:12:11disengage the
01:12:12biosecurity lock.
01:12:13Force sync my
01:12:14consciousness frequency
01:12:15to the subatomic target.
01:12:17Warning,
01:12:17force synchronization
01:12:18will result in brain death.
01:12:20Do you wish to proceed?
01:12:22Proceed.
01:12:28Daddy.
01:12:33Daddy,
01:12:35don't go.
01:12:36I'm not going anywhere.
01:12:46Caleb,
01:12:47I'm coming for you.
01:12:51I'm coming for you.
01:12:52I'm coming for you.
01:12:53I'm coming for you.
01:12:56I'm coming for you.
01:12:56There's nothing I feel.
01:12:59And I know.
