00:00:00My name is Allison Fulton.

00:00:02My husband is the most powerful man in this country,

00:00:05President Nolan Reed.

00:00:06And today, I'm alone in a hospital bed

00:00:09in so much pain it feels like I'm dying.

00:00:12Ma'am, has your emergency contact arrived yet?

00:00:16We need a signature for the surgery consent form.

00:00:20He's busy.

00:00:21I clutch my phone and call my husband again and again.

00:00:24Sorry, the subscriber you dialed

00:00:26cannot be connected for the moment.

00:00:28But no one answers.

00:00:32Then I see it with my own eyes.

00:00:35He's gently accompanying another woman

00:00:37to a prenatal appointment.

00:00:39Don't be nervous, Holly. I'm here.

00:00:42That woman is Holly Pearson, Nolan's mistress.

00:00:45I felt the world crumble beneath me,

00:00:47the betrayal a physical blow.

00:00:48I drag myself through surgery

00:00:50and return to the presidential residence late that night.

00:00:53What waits for me is not an explanation,

00:00:56but divorce papers.

00:00:58Sign them.

00:01:00Holly is pregnant.

00:01:01Step aside for now,

00:01:02and after the baby is born, we'll talk.

00:01:04I look at him,

00:01:05and the last three years feel like a joke.

00:01:09I stand by you through your lowest years

00:01:11and help you get here.

00:01:13And now you ask me to step aside for your mistress?

00:01:16Allison, don't make this difficult for me.

00:01:19I stare at the pen for a long moment.

00:01:22I pick it up and sign,

00:01:24because I finally understand that holding on to a man who does not love me is stupid.

00:01:30He slides a bank card towards me as compensation,

00:01:33but I throw it straight into the trash.

00:01:36I signed.

00:01:37We're done.

00:01:39From this moment on, there is nothing left between us.

00:01:44The second the words leave my mouth,

00:01:46I hear high heels outside.

00:01:49Holly is here.

00:01:51I have barely signed the divorce papers.

00:01:55When Holly walks into the presidential residence like she already belongs there.

00:02:00Sorry to interrupt, but Nolan wouldn't let me stay alone.

00:02:04You're not welcome here.

00:02:05Very soon, I'll be the woman standing beside him.

00:02:10She looks at me with a smug smile, trying to provoke me.

00:02:14Three years by Nolan's side,

00:02:15and in the end, you still get pushed out.

00:02:20Her words were meant to break me,

00:02:22but they only fueled a fire I didn't know I had.

00:02:26I raise my hand and slap her hard across the face.

00:02:31Nolan!

00:02:32Nolan rushes over and shields Holly.

00:02:36Allison, have you lost your mind?

00:02:38Yes.

00:02:39You drove me here.

00:02:42I watch him shield Holly,

00:02:44and the last light in my eyes goes out.

00:02:47In that moment,

00:02:48the man I married was truly gone.

00:02:51I stop arguing.

00:02:52I stop crying.

00:02:54I straighten my back and walk away.

00:02:59Outside,

00:03:00rain crashes down.

00:03:02And I walk straight into it,

00:03:04alone,

00:03:05with a fever and a fresh wound.

00:03:10The rain comes down hard.

00:03:12My whole body is cold,

00:03:14and the road ahead starts to blur.

00:03:17But I keep walking,

00:03:19because I no longer have a home.

00:03:23Allison!

00:03:24I hear Derek Flynn call my name.

00:03:26He is Nolan's most trusted vice president.

00:03:28I think I'm about to hit the ground hard.

00:03:30But in the next second,

00:03:31someone catches me.

00:03:33Then a long black sedan screeches to a stop through the rain.

00:03:37A commanding man rushes out.

00:03:42Move!

00:03:47He gathers me into his arms,

00:03:50trembling like he's found something precious he lost a long time ago.

00:03:54I'm Simon Lawson,

00:03:56crown prince of Flessidia.

00:03:57She's my dear sister,

00:03:59missing for twenty years.

00:04:00I hear those words right before my consciousness slips away.

00:04:06For the first time in my life,

00:04:08someone is this furious because of me.

00:04:20When I open my eyes again,

00:04:22my life is about to be rewritten.

00:04:26When I wake up,

00:04:28I'm lying in a luxurious hospital room.

00:04:34You're awake?

00:04:36Simon places a DNA report beside my hand,

00:04:39then takes out a yellowed family photo.

00:04:42You're the princess of Flessidia,

00:04:44missing for twenty years.

00:04:49I'm your brother.

00:04:52That's impossible!

00:04:53We searched for you for years.

00:04:55Our father and mother never gave up.

00:04:58And you're still...

00:05:00And we still couldn't find you all these years.

00:05:02I'm sorry.

00:05:03I'm sorry you had to go through all of that alone.

00:05:06He holds his phone out to me.

00:05:09I just transfer a billion to you.

00:05:12Spend it however you like.

00:05:13If it's not enough, tell me.

00:05:16In three years at the presidential residence,

00:05:19I never even got a wedding.

00:05:21And now someone wants to hand me the world

00:05:23just because I'm his sister.

00:05:26Before I can process all of this,

00:05:28the hospital room door is shoved open.

00:05:31Nolan is here.

00:05:32I'm still trying to process the fact that I am a princess

00:05:35when Nolan storms into the room.

00:05:38Allison, come back with me.

00:05:40For what?

00:05:42To watch you and Holly play the doting couple?

00:05:46He walks toward me,

00:05:48reaching out to take me away.

00:05:49But this time, I don't give in.

00:05:52I lean against the headboard

00:05:53and press my foot against his chest.

00:05:55Mr. President,

00:05:57keep the hands that touched your mistress away from me.

00:06:00Nolan freezes.

00:06:01He never expected me to treat him like this.

00:06:03For the first time, I felt no pain looking at him,

00:06:06only a cold, liberating disgust.

00:06:08Do you really have to speak to me like this?

00:06:12Then how should I speak to you?

00:06:14You want me to wait for you,

00:06:15trust your promise,

00:06:17only to be dumped by you again?

00:06:18I told you.

00:06:19It was temporary.

00:06:20I didn't mean to...

00:06:22I don't want you anymore.

00:06:24I look at the shock in his eyes

00:06:26and feel nothing but irony.

00:06:28Now he's finally panicking.

00:06:30Too late.

00:06:31Just then,

00:06:32the hospital room door opens again.

00:06:35Holly walks in.

00:06:36Allison,

00:06:37don't do this.

00:06:38Nolan came here himself.

00:06:41Just go back with him.

00:06:43She sounds like she's trying to make peace,

00:06:45but the triumph in her eyes is impossible to hide.

00:06:49It won't be easy for you to recover out there alone.

00:06:52And I don't want people saying I'm the reason you left.

00:06:57Don't flatter yourself.

00:07:01Holly's smile freezes on her face.

00:07:03Nolan still refuses to leave

00:07:05and even tries to take me by force.

00:07:07In the next second,

00:07:09I press the call button.

00:07:13Someone!

00:07:19What happened?

00:07:22Kindly escort this trespassing president

00:07:24and that pregnant mistress of his

00:07:26out of my room.

00:07:28Whoever handles it cleanly

00:07:29gets a hundred thousand dollars.

00:07:34Allison,

00:07:35how can you do this?

00:07:37Why can't I?

00:07:39This

00:07:39is my room.

00:07:41You wouldn't dare.

00:07:43Try me.

00:07:44The royal guard

00:07:45step forward

00:07:46and sees Nolan

00:07:47without hesitation.

00:07:49Two more guards

00:07:49move toward Holly.

00:07:51Her face

00:07:51turns pale

00:07:52and she instinctively

00:07:53tries to hide behind Nolan.

00:07:54Throw them out.

00:07:56Moments later,

00:07:57Nolan and Holly

00:07:58are both escorted

00:07:59out of the room.

00:08:00Outside,

00:08:00Derek leans against the wall,

00:08:02openly amused.

00:08:04Mr. President,

00:08:05how does it feel

00:08:06to be thrown out

00:08:07by your ex-wife?

00:08:08Beside him,

00:08:09Holly's face darkens

00:08:10from the humiliation

00:08:11I've dealt her.

00:08:12But just as when I need

00:08:14some peace for myself,

00:08:15Derek shows up

00:08:16with a revelation

00:08:17that rocks me to my core.

00:08:18He tells me

00:08:19my adoptive parents'

00:08:20deaths were never an accident.

00:08:25Derek places a file

00:08:26in front of me.

00:08:27This is a complete copy

00:08:28of your divorce filing

00:08:31and a confidential file

00:08:32on Holly's father.

00:08:34Wilson Pearson.

00:08:36Wilson Pearson

00:08:37is Holly's father

00:08:38and a wily old fox

00:08:40in business to boot.

00:08:41That's right.

00:08:42He's a business tycoon,

00:08:44a philanthropist,

00:08:45the polished face

00:08:46of high society,

00:08:49and very possibly

00:08:50the man responsible

00:08:51for your adoptive parents' deaths.

00:08:53My fingers tighten

00:08:54instantly.

00:08:55Are you saying

00:08:56the plane crash

00:08:57that killed them

00:08:58wasn't an accident?

00:08:59Yes.

00:09:00And after that,

00:09:02the Pearson family

00:09:03took control

00:09:04of all their valuable assets.

00:09:06Where's the proof?

00:09:08I found a few things.

00:09:09The rest,

00:09:10you'll have to dig up yourself.

00:09:13I can tell Derek

00:09:15isn't helping me

00:09:16out of pity.

00:09:17He wants to use me

00:09:19to bring down the Pearsons

00:09:20and use their fall

00:09:22to claim Nolan's power.

00:09:24Allison,

00:09:25the enemy of your enemy

00:09:26is your friend.

00:09:29Shall we work together?

00:09:32My broken marriage

00:09:33and the bitter truth

00:09:34behind my adoptive parents' deaths

00:09:36together stoke my rage.

00:09:40Fine.

00:09:42I want every debt

00:09:43they owe me repaid,

00:09:45one by one.

00:09:47Simon's people

00:09:48quickly bring me

00:09:49everything that happens

00:09:50inside the presidential residence.

00:09:52After I have her thrown

00:09:53out of my hospital room,

00:09:55Holly clearly has

00:09:56no intention

00:09:57of letting it end there.

00:09:58She knows

00:09:59that the moment

00:09:59she loses Nolan,

00:10:01she loses everything.

00:10:04So she stages

00:10:05her next act

00:10:06immediately.

00:10:10She grips the banister

00:10:11and deliberately

00:10:13takes each step slowly.

00:10:14In the next second,

00:10:16she tumbles

00:10:17all the way down.

00:10:18Nolan!

00:10:18Help me!

00:10:21Nolan rushes over

00:10:22and catches her.

00:10:26Allison had me thrown

00:10:27out of the hospital room

00:10:28earlier.

00:10:33I twisted my ankle

00:10:35back then

00:10:35and that's why

00:10:36I fell down the stairs

00:10:37just now.

00:10:38It doesn't matter

00:10:39if I'm hurt.

00:10:40I'm only worried

00:10:41about the baby.

00:10:47She cries

00:10:48while clinging

00:10:48to Nolan desperately

00:10:50but exhaustion

00:10:52appears on Nolan's face.

00:10:57He carries her

00:10:58to her room

00:10:59and calls for a doctor.

00:11:03Not long after,

00:11:05he drifts

00:11:05into the study.

00:11:09He opens

00:11:11an old photo album

00:11:12filled with photos

00:11:14of me.

00:11:15Just as Nolan

00:11:16begins to waver,

00:11:17he receives

00:11:18a message.

00:11:21But I never

00:11:22sent that message.

00:11:24This is Holly's doing.

00:11:26Allison,

00:11:27have you lost

00:11:28your mind?

00:11:29Burning with rage,

00:11:30he dials my number

00:11:31immediately.

00:11:38But I'm not

00:11:39the one

00:11:39who answers.

00:11:41Who is this?

00:11:42Now!

00:11:44Put Allison

00:11:45on the phone!

00:11:46The moment

00:11:47you threw her away,

00:11:49you lost any right

00:11:50to interfere

00:11:51in her life.

00:11:52Bother her again

00:11:53and I'll make sure

00:11:55you never reach

00:11:55her again.

00:11:56The line goes dead.

00:11:58Nolan's face

00:11:59turns livid.

00:12:02He immediately

00:12:03orders an investigation

00:12:04into where I am.

00:12:09But very soon

00:12:10he realizes

00:12:11someone powerful

00:12:12is shielding me.

00:12:13He can't find out

00:12:14where I am.

00:12:16The next day,

00:12:18Simon takes me

00:12:19to a place

00:12:19I never expected.

00:12:23Simon takes me

00:12:24to a building

00:12:24that looks

00:12:25completely ordinary

00:12:26from the outside.

00:12:30But the moment

00:12:31the elevator doors

00:12:32open,

00:12:33I'm staring

00:12:34at a top-secret

00:12:35intelligence command center.

00:12:40This is...

00:12:43Your new toy.

00:12:45The screen

00:12:45suddenly lights up.

00:12:46Highly classified files

00:12:48from several countries

00:12:49appear.

00:12:49And every file

00:12:50is authorized

00:12:50under one single

00:12:51code name.

00:12:52Sajax.

00:12:55Welcome back,

00:12:56dear sister.

00:12:57Your kingdom

00:12:58is waiting

00:12:59for you

00:12:59to claim it.

00:13:00I stare

00:13:01at that code name

00:13:02and something

00:13:02inside my chest

00:13:04slowly begins

00:13:04to burn.

00:13:05Nolan thinks

00:13:06he threw away

00:13:07a worthless wife.

00:13:08What he doesn't know

00:13:09is that the person

00:13:10who let go

00:13:11is also the one

00:13:12who can place him

00:13:13on a throne

00:13:14or drag him

00:13:15down from it.

00:13:18After leaving

00:13:19the intelligence center,

00:13:20Simon leads me

00:13:21to another place,

00:13:23one that leaves

00:13:23me utterly stunned.

00:13:35It's an underground

00:13:36private security vault.

00:13:38There is an entire

00:13:39wall of weapons,

00:13:41handguns,

00:13:42sniper rifles,

00:13:43and even the latest

00:13:44ballistic gear.

00:13:45Pick what suits you.

00:13:46I glance around

00:13:47and choose the least

00:13:48conspicuous items.

00:13:51A compact pistol,

00:13:53a steel hairpin,

00:13:54and a ballistic

00:13:55evening dress.

00:13:58That's it?

00:14:00It's enough.

00:14:03I'm not planning

00:14:04to bring down

00:14:04the West Wing.

00:14:07Simon smiles

00:14:07and hands me

00:14:08a car key,

00:14:09trying to make up

00:14:10for my suffering.

00:14:14The pink sports car

00:14:15in the garage

00:14:16is yours.

00:14:16But before I can

00:14:17adjust to my new role,

00:14:19I receive news.

00:14:23Tomorrow is

00:14:24Nolan's grandfather

00:14:25Memorial Day.

00:14:27Nolan's grandfather

00:14:28is the only person

00:14:29in that family

00:14:30who ever treated me

00:14:31with kindness.

00:14:32So on the anniversary

00:14:33of his death,

00:14:34I have to go.

00:14:35You still want

00:14:36to go back there?

00:14:36Have you forgotten

00:14:37what they did to you?

00:14:40I'm going to settle

00:14:41the score with them.

00:14:42Simon stays silent

00:14:43for a few seconds,

00:14:44then finally nods.

00:14:48I'll send men

00:14:49with you.

00:14:50No.

00:14:51I can handle it

00:14:52by myself.

00:14:57The next day,

00:14:59I drive to the

00:14:59cemetery alone.

00:15:04The moment I pull up

00:15:05at the entrance,

00:15:06my pink sports car

00:15:08immediately draws

00:15:08attention.

00:15:12The security captain

00:15:14walks over,

00:15:15his eyes full

00:15:16of malice.

00:15:19Out of the car.

00:15:20You're being screened.

00:15:22I know Holly

00:15:23set this up.

00:15:25She wants me

00:15:26humiliated

00:15:27in front of everyone.

00:15:34The security captain

00:15:36deliberately escalates

00:15:37things and demands

00:15:38an invasive manual

00:15:39screening.

00:15:40It's protocol.

00:15:41No exceptions.

00:15:42Not even for people

00:15:43tied to the president.

00:15:45I have nothing to do

00:15:46with the president

00:15:46anymore.

00:15:47The second the words

00:15:48leave my mouth,

00:15:49a sharp laugh

00:15:50cuts in behind me.

00:15:51The woman walking

00:15:52toward me

00:15:53is Alita Reed,

00:15:54Nolan's spoiled

00:15:55and vicious

00:15:56younger sister.

00:15:57Isn't this my dear

00:15:58sister-in-law

00:15:59who got thrown out?

00:16:01Nice car.

00:16:02Who did you steal it from?

00:16:04Are you done?

00:16:06If you are,

00:16:07move.

00:16:10She reaches for me

00:16:11and I shift aside.

00:16:16She crashes onto the ground

00:16:18scraping her knees.

00:16:20The security captain

00:16:21charges at me.

00:16:23I don't dodge.

00:16:26I wait for him

00:16:27to come closer.

00:16:29The baton swings

00:16:30down towards me.

00:16:31I turn my head aside,

00:16:32pull the steel pin

00:16:33from my hair

00:16:34and drive it

00:16:35straight through his palm.

00:16:36He screams.

00:16:37The baton slips

00:16:38from his hand

00:16:39and hits the ground.

00:16:40Blood drapes

00:16:40from his hand.

00:16:41You're insane!

00:16:43I raise the steel pin

00:16:45and point it at her,

00:16:46making sure she

00:16:47understands the warning.

00:16:49Wanna try me?

00:16:51Aliyah stumbles

00:16:52back in panic.

00:16:53Just then,

00:16:54several cars

00:16:55pull up

00:16:56at the cemetery entrance.

00:17:02Nolan and Holly

00:17:04step out

00:17:04one after another.

00:17:06What is going on here?

00:17:08Allison,

00:17:09how can you

00:17:10hit people like this?

00:17:11I look at her

00:17:12indignant depression

00:17:13let out of a cold laugh.

00:17:15Bringing your mistress

00:17:16to your grandfather's grave,

00:17:17Nolan,

00:17:18do you really think

00:17:19this is appropriate?

00:17:25Holly throws herself

00:17:26into Nolan's arms

00:17:27at once,

00:17:28sobbing dramatically.

00:17:30Nolan,

00:17:31I'm scared.

00:17:32She might kill me.

00:17:35Nolan shields her

00:17:36and looks up at me.

00:17:38Allison,

00:17:38today is my grandfather's

00:17:40memorial day.

00:17:41Do you really have to

00:17:42turn it into a scene?

00:17:43A scene?

00:17:45Am I the one

00:17:46making one

00:17:46or are you?

00:17:49You bring

00:17:50your pregnant mistress

00:17:51to your grandfather's grave.

00:17:57Don't you think

00:17:57it's ridiculous?

00:17:58I would use

00:17:59his own grandfather's

00:18:01memory to show him

00:18:01the depth of his

00:18:02disrespect.

00:18:03I walk toward him

00:18:05and confront him

00:18:05about what he has done.

00:18:07Your grandfather

00:18:08valued family honor

00:18:09above all else.

00:18:11What he hated

00:18:12most was betrayal.

00:18:14I watch Nolan

00:18:15fall silent

00:18:18and turn towards

00:18:20Alfred's headstone.

00:18:24I crouch

00:18:25before Alfred's

00:18:26headstone

00:18:26and place

00:18:27the flowers

00:18:27I brought on it.

00:18:29Hey, Alfred.

00:18:31I'm here to see you.

00:18:33I'm sorry

00:18:34I couldn't protect

00:18:35the dignity

00:18:36you gave me.

00:18:39I rise

00:18:40and turn

00:18:40to look at Nolan.

00:18:41But I won't

00:18:42let them walk over me

00:18:43without paying the price.

00:18:47This was a promise

00:18:48to Alfred

00:18:48and to myself.

00:18:51I walk up to Holly

00:18:52and she instinctively

00:18:53shrinks behind Nolan.

00:18:58What are you doing?

00:18:59Stay away from me!

00:19:01I reach out

00:19:02and close my hand

00:19:03around her throat

00:19:04making sure

00:19:05she remembers

00:19:06her lesson.

00:19:08What are you afraid of?

00:19:10I'm not going

00:19:11to kill you

00:19:12but I can turn

00:19:13your life

00:19:14into a living hell.

00:19:16I let go

00:19:17and Holly collapses

00:19:19to the ground

00:19:19gasping for air.

00:19:22Nolan reaches for me

00:19:24and I shake him off

00:19:25and leave the cemetery.

00:19:30After leaving

00:19:31the cemetery

00:19:31I don't go straight

00:19:33back to the estate.

00:19:36I drive to the

00:19:37presidential residence

00:19:38instead.

00:19:44Nolan is in a closed

00:19:46door policy session

00:19:47with senior advisors

00:19:48and several key

00:19:49lawmakers.

00:19:50He wanted to keep

00:19:51his private life

00:19:51and public duties

00:19:52separate.

00:19:54I raise my foot

00:19:55and kick the door open.

00:19:58Dead silence

00:19:59fills the room.

00:20:00Everyone turns

00:20:01to look at me.

00:20:02I ignore them.

00:20:04I drag Holly

00:20:06in by the throat.

00:20:11Mr. President

00:20:12let me help you

00:20:14deal with your

00:20:14private mess.

00:20:16The meeting

00:20:17trapped in a stalemate

00:20:18is thrown

00:20:19completely off balance.

00:20:21Several attendants

00:20:23who are still wavering

00:20:24make their calls

00:20:25in a rush.

00:20:27Nolan's face

00:20:28turns dark.

00:20:34But my interruptions

00:20:35end up pushing

00:20:36his stalled bill

00:20:37over the line.

00:20:38News that the bill

00:20:39moves forward

00:20:40spreads quickly.

00:20:42Everyone says

00:20:43I accidentally

00:20:44helped Nolan.

00:20:47Actually

00:20:48I did that on purpose.

00:20:50I wanted to show them

00:20:51that his greatest

00:20:52liability

00:20:52was the woman

00:20:53he chose over me.

00:20:54I want everyone

00:20:55to see that Nolan

00:20:56can't even handle

00:20:57his own private affairs.

00:20:58They shouldn't place

00:20:59any trust

00:21:00in his judgment.

00:21:03When I come out

00:21:04of the residence

00:21:05Derek's car

00:21:06is waiting for me.

00:21:13Allison

00:21:13that was quite a show.

00:21:21Spare me.

00:21:22I'm in on

00:21:22what you proposed.

00:21:24Uh

00:21:25what proposal?

00:21:28I don't know

00:21:28the alliance

00:21:30and he smiles.

00:21:32Derek's eyes light up.

00:21:37Well then

00:21:38I have a gift for you.

00:21:41The next day

00:21:42he sends me

00:21:43a package file.

00:21:51The title reads

00:21:54Holly's Prenatal Records

00:21:55I read the

00:21:59prenatal records

00:22:00Derek sends me

00:22:01three times.

00:22:03The gestational age

00:22:05doesn't match

00:22:05the timeline

00:22:06Nolan claimed.

00:22:08It's off

00:22:09by an entire month.

00:22:13So this child

00:22:14may not be

00:22:15Nolan's?

00:22:16Exactly.

00:22:21And I suspect

00:22:22she may not

00:22:23even be pregnant

00:22:24at all.

00:22:26Why?

00:22:29Someone saw her

00:22:30remove a fake belly

00:22:32at the hospital.

00:22:33My hand

00:22:33trembles slightly

00:22:34not from fear

00:22:36from rage.

00:22:38The entire

00:22:39foundation of my

00:22:40divorce

00:22:40of my pain

00:22:42was built

00:22:43on a lie.

00:22:44She uses

00:22:45a fake pregnancy

00:22:46to steal my husband

00:22:47from me.

00:22:49Do you have proof?

00:22:50I already have

00:22:51someone looking

00:22:52into it.

00:22:54Don't strike yet.

00:22:57Wait until

00:22:57she reaches

00:22:58her peak.

00:22:59I know

00:23:00exactly

00:23:01what he means.

00:23:03The higher

00:23:04she climbs

00:23:05the harder

00:23:06she falls.

00:23:08I hold back

00:23:09all the evidence

00:23:09for now.

00:23:11Not because

00:23:11I'm afraid

00:23:12but because

00:23:13I'm biding

00:23:13my time.

00:23:17I'm waiting

00:23:18for the perfect

00:23:18moment.

00:23:19And on Nolan's

00:23:20side

00:23:20things are

00:23:21beginning to

00:23:21shift.

00:23:22He sends

00:23:23people to

00:23:23investigate me

00:23:24in secret.

00:23:25Yet

00:23:25he finds

00:23:26nothing.

00:23:27My information

00:23:28is under

00:23:28the highest

00:23:29level of

00:23:29protection

00:23:30Simon can

00:23:31place on it.

00:23:32Even the

00:23:32president

00:23:33can't access

00:23:33it.

00:23:40who is

00:23:41she

00:23:41really?

00:23:43Mr.

00:23:44President

00:23:44everything

00:23:45tied to

00:23:45Allison

00:23:46we can't

00:23:46access any

00:23:47of it.

00:23:48Her identity

00:23:49appears to be

00:23:50protected as a

00:23:50top level state

00:23:51secret by a

00:23:52foreign government.

00:23:53Nolan snaps

00:23:54the pen in

00:23:54his hand.

00:23:58For the

00:23:59first time

00:23:59he feels

00:24:00control slipping

00:24:01away from

00:24:02him.

00:24:03and then

00:24:04Holly announces

00:24:04the news

00:24:05her wedding

00:24:06of the

00:24:06century with

00:24:07Nolan will

00:24:08take place

00:24:09next month.

00:24:10High society

00:24:11is already

00:24:11waiting to

00:24:12see her step

00:24:13into the

00:24:13role of

00:24:13first lady

00:24:15and I

00:24:16receive an

00:24:16invitation to

00:24:17the

00:24:17presidentially

00:24:18anniversary

00:24:19gala.

00:24:20Tonight

00:24:21Holly makes

00:24:22her grand

00:24:22entrance in

00:24:23front of

00:24:23everyone and

00:24:24I'll step

00:24:25back into

00:24:25their world

00:24:26under a

00:24:26very different

00:24:27identity.

00:24:28After

00:24:28tonight everyone

00:24:29will know

00:24:30exactly who

00:24:31belongs outside

00:24:32she smiles

00:24:33like victory

00:24:33is already

00:24:34hers.

00:24:35Her Royal

00:24:36Highness

00:24:36Princess

00:24:37Alison

00:24:38of

00:24:38Flesdia.

00:24:40Let her

00:24:41have her

00:24:41moment.

00:24:42Mine was

00:24:43about to

00:24:43begin.

00:24:45The ballroom

00:24:46doors slowly

00:24:46open.

00:24:48In an evening

00:24:49gown and heels

00:24:49I step into

00:24:50the spotlight.

00:24:51The room

00:24:52falls silent

00:24:52for a second

00:24:53then every eye

00:24:54turns to me.

00:24:57Alison?

00:25:00Impossible.

00:25:02Holly thinks

00:25:03she is the

00:25:04most dazzling

00:25:05woman in

00:25:05the room

00:25:06tonight.

00:25:07Too bad.

00:25:08The second

00:25:08I appear

00:25:09she loses.

00:25:12Holly is

00:25:13never truly

00:25:13afraid of

00:25:14someone stronger

00:25:15than she is.

00:25:16What she

00:25:17fears most

00:25:18is becoming

00:25:19the joke.

00:25:23Alison,

00:25:25I never

00:25:25expected your

00:25:26status to

00:25:26become so

00:25:27elevated.

00:25:28Too bad

00:25:29some women

00:25:30can wear

00:25:30a princess's

00:25:31title and

00:25:31still come

00:25:32off as

00:25:32cheap.

00:25:33She

00:25:33deliberately

00:25:34throws a

00:25:34cutting line

00:25:35at me in

00:25:35French.

00:25:36Certaines

00:25:37femmes

00:25:37montent

00:25:37les échelons

00:25:38sociales

00:25:38mais

00:25:39n'apprennent

00:25:39jamais

00:25:39leur place.

00:25:40A few

00:25:41people nearby

00:25:42catch her

00:25:42meaning and

00:25:43respond with

00:25:44knowing smiles.

00:25:45She thought

00:25:46her cheap

00:25:46trick would

00:25:46work on

00:25:47the old

00:25:47Alison.

00:25:48She was

00:25:49about to

00:25:49be

00:25:49disappointed.

00:25:50I look

00:25:51at Holly

00:25:51and smile.

00:25:53Ma chère

00:25:54dropped the

00:25:54French.

00:25:55It's as

00:25:56stilted as

00:25:56a textbook.

00:25:58You!

00:26:00Would you

00:26:01rather I

00:26:02answer in

00:26:02English?

00:26:03Or in

00:26:04German?

00:26:08Or in

00:26:09Spanish?

00:26:10Or is that

00:26:10the only line

00:26:11you memorized?

00:26:12I turn

00:26:13smoothly and

00:26:14greet several

00:26:14ambassadors in

00:26:15their own

00:26:15languages.

00:26:23holly stands

00:26:24frozen, her

00:26:25face darkening

00:26:26by the

00:26:26second.

00:26:28That

00:26:29slapped lands

00:26:30beautifully.

00:26:31Holly never

00:26:31forgets a

00:26:32slight.

00:26:33She's very

00:26:34vindictive.

00:26:35And she

00:26:35always finds a

00:26:36way to settle

00:26:37score.

00:26:40She throws

00:26:41herself backward,

00:26:42tears already

00:26:43in place,

00:26:44trying to

00:26:45pin the

00:26:45blame on

00:26:46me.

00:26:47Alison,

00:26:47why did

00:26:48you push

00:26:48me?

00:26:49Her

00:26:49predictability

00:26:50was almost

00:26:50boring.

00:26:51I had

00:26:51been waiting

00:26:51for this.

00:26:52In an

00:26:52instant,

00:26:54Holly!

00:26:54every eye

00:26:55in the

00:26:55room turns

00:26:56back to

00:26:56me.

00:26:57Alison,

00:26:57what exactly

00:26:58are you

00:26:58trying to

00:26:58do?

00:26:59I stay

00:26:59exactly

00:27:00where I

00:27:00am.

00:27:01Then I

00:27:01raise a

00:27:01hand and

00:27:02remove my

00:27:03brooch,

00:27:03ready to

00:27:04present the

00:27:04proof.

00:27:04You want

00:27:05to know

00:27:05what I

00:27:05did?

00:27:06Then look

00:27:06at this

00:27:07first.

00:27:07I press

00:27:08the switch

00:27:08and replay

00:27:10the scene

00:27:10in front

00:27:11of everyone.

00:27:12In the

00:27:13footage,

00:27:14Holly

00:27:14deliberately

00:27:15threw

00:27:15herself

00:27:16backward.

00:27:16No,

00:27:17that's

00:27:17not

00:27:17true.

00:27:20Mr.

00:27:21President,

00:27:22your

00:27:22fiancee

00:27:23deserves

00:27:23an award

00:27:23for that

00:27:24performance.

00:27:27The

00:27:28terrace

00:27:28outside the

00:27:29ballroom

00:27:29is quiet.

00:27:31Only

00:27:32the wind

00:27:32and Nolan's

00:27:33uneven

00:27:33breathing

00:27:34could be

00:27:34heard.

00:27:35You

00:27:37really

00:27:38are a

00:27:38princess?

00:27:39That is

00:27:39the first

00:27:39thing he

00:27:40asks after

00:27:40following me

00:27:41out here.

00:27:42Not

00:27:42are you

00:27:42all right

00:27:43and not

00:27:43I'm

00:27:43sorry.

00:27:44He was

00:27:45mourning

00:27:45the status

00:27:45he'd

00:27:46lost,

00:27:46not the

00:27:46woman

00:27:47he'd

00:27:47discarded.

00:27:48Mr.

00:27:48President,

00:27:49what exactly

00:27:49does that

00:27:50have to

00:27:50do with

00:27:50you?

00:27:51Allison,

00:27:52I just...

00:27:53You just

00:27:53want to

00:27:53know what

00:27:54it was

00:27:54you threw

00:27:55away.

00:27:57Too

00:27:58bad.

00:27:59Knowing

00:27:59now changes

00:28:00nothing.

00:28:01I swirl

00:28:02the wine

00:28:02in my

00:28:02glass and

00:28:04let my

00:28:04gaze drift

00:28:05past him

00:28:05into the

00:28:06night.

00:28:09Instead of

00:28:10asking who

00:28:11I am,

00:28:11maybe dig

00:28:12into who

00:28:12baby Holly's

00:28:13got in

00:28:13there.

00:28:14He is

00:28:15only beginning

00:28:15to doubt

00:28:16now.

00:28:17I am

00:28:18already

00:28:18playing my

00:28:19game.

00:28:23Real

00:28:24revenge is

00:28:24taking away

00:28:25what they

00:28:25care most

00:28:26about.

00:28:27And what

00:28:28the Pearsons

00:28:28care about

00:28:29most is

00:28:30money.

00:28:34You're

00:28:35sure you

00:28:35want to

00:28:35hit this

00:28:35stock?

00:28:38Yes.

00:28:40This is

00:28:40one of the

00:28:41Pearson

00:28:41group's

00:28:42core

00:28:42arteries.

00:28:43Cut here

00:28:44first,

00:28:45and they'll

00:28:45finally panic.

00:28:51I would

00:28:52dismantle

00:28:52their empire

00:28:53piece by

00:28:54piece,

00:28:54just as

00:28:55they had

00:28:56dismantled

00:28:56my life.

00:28:58I sit

00:28:58before the

00:28:59screen and

00:29:00tap enter,

00:29:01officially

00:29:01making my

00:29:02move.

00:29:03Short order

00:29:04confirmed.

00:29:05First wave

00:29:07initiated.

00:29:08Thirty minutes

00:29:09later,

00:29:10Pearson group's

00:29:11stock starts

00:29:11falling hard.

00:29:14One hour

00:29:15later,

00:29:16billions in

00:29:16value are

00:29:17gone.

00:29:18What the

00:29:19hell is

00:29:20going on?

00:29:21Someone is

00:29:22targeting us

00:29:23with precision

00:29:23strikes.

00:29:24I watch the

00:29:25live graph

00:29:26plunge and

00:29:26let myself

00:29:27smile.

00:29:29This is

00:29:30only the

00:29:30beginning.

00:29:31Men like

00:29:32Wilson never

00:29:32think of

00:29:33surrender when

00:29:33they panic.

00:29:34The first

00:29:35thing they

00:29:35think of is

00:29:36destroying

00:29:37evidence.

00:29:38Do it

00:29:39tonight.

00:29:40Burn it

00:29:41all down.

00:29:42And in

00:29:42the old

00:29:43house my

00:29:43adoptive

00:29:44parents once

00:29:44lived in,

00:29:45there are

00:29:45still things

00:29:46he fears

00:29:46I'll find.

00:29:47Yet,

00:29:48he is already

00:29:49too late.

00:29:50I knew his

00:29:51cowardly mind

00:29:52better than

00:29:52he knew

00:29:53himself.

00:29:53You're that

00:29:54sure he'll

00:29:54burn the

00:29:55house?

00:29:57Men like

00:29:57him who

00:29:58have a

00:29:58guilty

00:29:58conscience

00:29:59always take

00:30:00care of

00:30:00loose ends.

00:30:02Hours

00:30:02ago,

00:30:03I had

00:30:03Simon's

00:30:04people removed

00:30:05everything

00:30:05important.

00:30:10That night,

00:30:12flames tear

00:30:13into the

00:30:13sky.

00:30:17The old

00:30:18house really

00:30:19is set on

00:30:20fire.

00:30:30We got

00:30:31them.

00:30:31two

00:30:32arsonists

00:30:32are pinned

00:30:33to the

00:30:33ground.

00:30:34Get clear

00:30:35footage.

00:30:36I want

00:30:36every one

00:30:37of their

00:30:37faces on

00:30:37record.

00:30:38Arsonists

00:30:39rarely have

00:30:39much backbone.

00:30:41It's time

00:30:41for you to

00:30:42realize the

00:30:42man who

00:30:43hired you

00:30:43is never

00:30:43coming to

00:30:44save you.

00:30:45It wasn't

00:30:46my idea.

00:30:47I was

00:30:47paid to

00:30:47do it.

00:30:48Who

00:30:48paid you?

00:30:49Have

00:30:49you seen

00:30:50him?

00:30:50It's

00:30:51him.

00:30:52The

00:30:52Pearson

00:30:53family's

00:30:53people.

00:30:54The lead

00:30:55they gave

00:30:55me leads

00:30:56to another

00:30:56discovery.

00:30:59We

00:30:59found

00:31:00her.

00:31:02Who?

00:31:03The

00:31:03daughter

00:31:03of the

00:31:04mechanic

00:31:04who was

00:31:04ruled a

00:31:05suicide.

00:31:06The

00:31:06girl places

00:31:06a copied

00:31:07maintenance

00:31:07record left

00:31:08by her

00:31:08father into

00:31:08my hands.

00:31:09Before

00:31:09my father

00:31:10died,

00:31:10he said

00:31:11that plane

00:31:12crash wasn't

00:31:12an accident.

00:31:13I lower

00:31:14my eyes to

00:31:15the file.

00:31:15It clearly

00:31:16states that a

00:31:17critical

00:31:17component is

00:31:18tampered

00:31:18with.

00:31:22I finally

00:31:23have all

00:31:24the evidence

00:31:24I need.

00:31:25On the

00:31:25day of

00:31:26the

00:31:26international

00:31:26perfume

00:31:27competition

00:31:27finals,

00:31:28I don't

00:31:28appear in

00:31:29person.

00:31:29Because the

00:31:30name standing

00:31:30on that

00:31:31stage today

00:31:31isn't

00:31:32Allison,

00:31:33it's

00:31:33Phoenix.

00:31:34This

00:31:34year's

00:31:34winning

00:31:34fragrance,

00:31:35Nirvana.

00:31:36The

00:31:37room

00:31:37erupts

00:31:37into

00:31:37applause.

00:31:41This

00:31:41isn't an

00:31:42ordinary

00:31:42fragrance.

00:31:43It

00:31:43feels like

00:31:44rebirth from

00:31:44ash,

00:31:45like waking

00:31:46a soul.

00:31:46My

00:31:47parents'

00:31:47legacy would

00:31:48not be

00:31:48buried with

00:31:49them.

00:31:49I would

00:31:50make it

00:31:50immortal.

00:31:51I sit

00:31:51quietly before

00:31:52the screen,

00:31:53my fingers

00:31:54brushing over

00:31:55the bottle

00:31:55design.

00:31:56This

00:31:56perfume was

00:31:57my

00:31:57adoptive

00:31:58parents'

00:31:58formula,

00:31:59and it's

00:32:00the second

00:32:00attack I've

00:32:01launched against

00:32:01Wilson.

00:32:03What the

00:32:03hell?

00:32:04That's Frank's

00:32:05formula!

00:32:05He knocks

00:32:06over his

00:32:06glass,

00:32:07his face

00:32:07pale with

00:32:08fear.

00:32:10I came

00:32:11back to

00:32:12tobacco

00:32:12what was

00:32:13theirs.

00:32:14Winning the

00:32:14perfume

00:32:15competition is

00:32:16only the

00:32:16beginning.

00:32:19I want

00:32:19more than

00:32:20a trophy.

00:32:22I want

00:32:23to bring

00:32:23this brand

00:32:24back to

00:32:24life.

00:32:27Phoenix.

00:32:28On the

00:32:28day of

00:32:28the press

00:32:29conference,

00:32:29every camera

00:32:30in the room

00:32:31is pointed

00:32:31at me.

00:32:39I stand

00:32:40on stage

00:32:41as the

00:32:41giant screen

00:32:42behind me

00:32:43slowly lights

00:32:44up.

00:32:44On it

00:32:45are photos

00:32:45of my

00:32:46adoptive

00:32:46parents.

00:32:49Because this

00:32:50is more

00:32:51than perfume.

00:32:52It's

00:32:53inheritance.

00:32:54And it's

00:32:55a declaration

00:32:56of war.

00:32:59I wanted

00:33:00the world

00:33:01to know

00:33:01the names

00:33:01of the

00:33:02people

00:33:02Wilson

00:33:03Pearson

00:33:03had tried

00:33:03to erase.

00:33:04Against

00:33:05whom?

00:33:05Against

00:33:06those thieves

00:33:06who believe

00:33:07they can

00:33:07steal

00:33:08everything

00:33:08from someone

00:33:09else and

00:33:09go on

00:33:10living as

00:33:10if nothing

00:33:11happened.

00:33:11I look

00:33:12ahead,

00:33:13my eyes

00:33:13sharp as

00:33:14blades.

00:33:14a phoenix

00:33:16will always

00:33:17rise from

00:33:18the ash.

00:33:19Nolan finally

00:33:20starts investigating

00:33:21Holly,

00:33:21not because he

00:33:22suddenly becomes

00:33:23smarter,

00:33:23but because

00:33:24something is

00:33:24seriously wrong

00:33:25and he can

00:33:26no longer

00:33:26pretend not

00:33:27to see it.

00:33:28Get me all

00:33:28of Holly's

00:33:28prenatal

00:33:29records.

00:33:30The moment

00:33:30he reads

00:33:31the file,

00:33:32his expression

00:33:32darkens

00:33:33by degrees.

00:33:34Gestational

00:33:35age,

00:33:37timeline,

00:33:38public

00:33:38statements,

00:33:39none of

00:33:40it matches.

00:33:43Impossible.

00:33:44I felt

00:33:45a grim

00:33:45satisfaction

00:33:46watching him

00:33:47unravel the

00:33:48lies he

00:33:48had so

00:33:49willingly

00:33:49believed.

00:33:50But what

00:33:51truly breaks

00:33:52him comes

00:33:52after that.

00:33:53As he

00:33:53digs deeper,

00:33:54he unexpectedly

00:33:55uncovers

00:33:55internal records

00:33:56from the

00:33:56residents over

00:33:57the last

00:33:58three years.

00:33:58His

00:33:59mother's

00:33:59cold

00:33:59treatment

00:34:00of me,

00:34:01his

00:34:01sister's

00:34:02humiliation

00:34:02of me,

00:34:03and the

00:34:04staff's

00:34:04arrogant

00:34:04disrespect.

00:34:06This,

00:34:07all of this

00:34:08is real?

00:34:10The logs,

00:34:12surveillance,

00:34:12and witness

00:34:13statements

00:34:13all line

00:34:14up.

00:34:14For the

00:34:14first time,

00:34:15Nolan starts

00:34:16questioning what

00:34:17exactly happened

00:34:18to me over

00:34:19the past

00:34:19three years.

00:34:22And just

00:34:23then,

00:34:23an invitation

00:34:24from the

00:34:25Royal House

00:34:26of Flessia

00:34:27lands in

00:34:27his hands.

00:34:29When the

00:34:29invitation from

00:34:30the Royal

00:34:31House of

00:34:31Flessia arrives

00:34:32at the

00:34:33presidential

00:34:33residence,

00:34:34even the

00:34:35air seems

00:34:35to go still

00:34:36for a

00:34:37moment.

00:34:37This isn't

00:34:38an ordinary

00:34:38dinner.

00:34:39It's a

00:34:39royal state

00:34:40banquet.

00:34:40Mr.

00:34:42President,

00:34:42an official

00:34:43invitation has

00:34:43arrived from

00:34:44the Royal

00:34:44House of

00:34:44Flessia.

00:34:46Additional

00:34:46note,

00:34:47Princess

00:34:48Allison of

00:34:48Flessia may

00:34:49attend with

00:34:49a date.

00:34:50Nolan's

00:34:51hand pauses.

00:34:52He stares at

00:34:53that line,

00:34:53and his

00:34:54gaze darkens.

00:35:00Why would

00:35:01they specify

00:35:01her?

00:35:02Be quiet.

00:35:03For the

00:35:04first time,

00:35:05Nolan feels

00:35:05frustrated by

00:35:06everything that's

00:35:07happening,

00:35:07and Holly

00:35:08finally realizes

00:35:09the situation

00:35:10is no longer

00:35:11under her

00:35:12control.

00:35:14Holly excels

00:35:15at manipulation,

00:35:17most notably

00:35:17exploiting Nolan's

00:35:19guilt and sense

00:35:20of obligation.

00:35:22Nolan,

00:35:23if you leave

00:35:24me,

00:35:24I'll die

00:35:25with this

00:35:25baby.

00:35:26She stands

00:35:27at the edge

00:35:27of the terrace,

00:35:28trembling with

00:35:29tears,

00:35:30carefully staging

00:35:31herself as

00:35:31the victim.

00:35:32Holly,

00:35:33calm down.

00:35:36Are you

00:35:37regretting

00:35:37this?

00:35:40Nolan stays

00:35:41silent.

00:35:42The silence

00:35:44hurts more

00:35:44than any

00:35:45words could.

00:35:46Meanwhile,

00:35:47I've already

00:35:47received something

00:35:48important through

00:35:49Simon's intelligence

00:35:50network.

00:35:51We cross-checked

00:35:51Holly's recent

00:35:52footage,

00:35:53body profile,

00:35:53and medical

00:35:54records.

00:35:55There is a

00:35:56strong possibility

00:35:57that she isn't

00:35:59pregnant at all.

00:36:02Keep digging.

00:36:03I want you to

00:36:04confirm her condition.

00:36:05I look at

00:36:06Holly's images

00:36:06on the screen,

00:36:08and my face

00:36:09darkens.

00:36:13Simon brings

00:36:14me into a

00:36:14tactical prep

00:36:15room reserved

00:36:16for the royal

00:36:16family.

00:36:18Soon,

00:36:18it is the day

00:36:19you settle

00:36:20the score

00:36:20with the

00:36:20Pearsons.

00:36:21On the table

00:36:21are the

00:36:22compact pistol,

00:36:23a comms

00:36:24earpiece,

00:36:24and ballistic

00:36:25formal wear.

00:36:26The gun

00:36:26has been

00:36:27recalibrated.

00:36:28I feel its

00:36:28cold weight

00:36:29in my mind,

00:36:30a promise

00:36:31of the justice

00:36:31I'm about

00:36:32to deliver.

00:36:33The formal

00:36:34wear is ready

00:36:35too.

00:36:36My hand

00:36:37brushes over

00:36:37the formal

00:36:38wear.

00:36:39And I know

00:36:39exactly what

00:36:40this means.

00:36:41This is no

00:36:41longer just

00:36:42protection.

00:36:43This is for

00:36:44the takedown.

00:36:46Nervous?

00:36:48No.

00:36:50I have

00:36:51waited too

00:36:51long for

00:36:52this day.

00:36:53I will make

00:36:53them pay

00:36:54dearly for

00:36:55what they've

00:36:55done.

00:36:57Some people

00:36:57are already

00:36:58halfway to

00:36:59collapse,

00:36:59and yet they

00:37:00still insist

00:37:01on putting on

00:37:02the biggest

00:37:02spectacle possible.

00:37:04The Pearsons

00:37:04are exactly

00:37:05like that.

00:37:06A wedding?

00:37:07Really?

00:37:07Your priority

00:37:09is to marry

00:37:09Nolan and

00:37:10make your

00:37:11relationship

00:37:12official.

00:37:13Once you

00:37:14two hold

00:37:14a wedding,

00:37:15the world

00:37:16will accept

00:37:16both you

00:37:17and the

00:37:17child as

00:37:19part of

00:37:19Nolan's

00:37:20future.

00:37:20I almost

00:37:21have to

00:37:22laugh at

00:37:22their

00:37:22desperation.

00:37:25They are

00:37:25digging their

00:37:26own graves

00:37:27with this

00:37:27spectacle.

00:37:29Invitations

00:37:29go out

00:37:30quickly.

00:37:35Global

00:37:36elites,

00:37:37media,

00:37:37political

00:37:38figure,

00:37:38and business

00:37:39tycoons are

00:37:40all drawn

00:37:40into the

00:37:41spectacle.

00:37:41They want

00:37:42to use

00:37:42this wedding

00:37:43ceremony to

00:37:43push Holly

00:37:44as high as

00:37:45possible.

00:37:45This aligns

00:37:46perfectly with

00:37:47what I want.

00:37:52The higher

00:37:53she stands,

00:37:54the harder

00:37:55she falls.

00:37:57Sending a gift

00:37:58before a wedding

00:37:59is proper etiquette.

00:38:00It's just that

00:38:01the one I send

00:38:01may not be to

00:38:02Holly's taste.

00:38:03It looks

00:38:03perfectly tasteful.

00:38:04They say revenge

00:38:05is a dish best served

00:38:06cold, but I'm not

00:38:06sure that's true.

00:38:07But inside the box

00:38:08is a strip of

00:38:09microfilm.

00:38:10On it are intimate

00:38:11photographs of

00:38:12Holly with several

00:38:13different men.

00:38:14Send it to the

00:38:15president.

00:38:19I wish them

00:38:20a long

00:38:20and happy

00:38:21future.

00:38:23By the time

00:38:24the gift

00:38:24reaches the

00:38:25presidential

00:38:25residence,

00:38:26Nolan is

00:38:27in his study.

00:38:29In the next

00:38:30second,

00:38:31Nolan has

00:38:32already pulled

00:38:32the microfilm

00:38:33out of the

00:38:34box.

00:38:37What is

00:38:38this?

00:38:40No,

00:38:40that's not

00:38:41me!

00:38:42How much

00:38:43more have

00:38:43you lied

00:38:44to me about?

00:38:44Holly's face

00:38:46goes pale.

00:38:49On the night

00:38:50before the

00:38:51wedding,

00:38:52the whole

00:38:52city glows

00:38:53with light.

00:38:59But Nolan

00:39:01looks awful

00:39:02like he hasn't

00:39:03slept in days.

00:39:06he finally

00:39:07corners me.

00:39:09Tell me,

00:39:10what exactly

00:39:11am I supposed

00:39:12to do?

00:39:13What do I do

00:39:14to get back

00:39:14to what we

00:39:15had?

00:39:16I look at the

00:39:17hand gripping

00:39:17my wrist.

00:39:18I slowly

00:39:19pull my hand

00:39:20back.

00:39:21Mr.

00:39:21President,

00:39:22the only thing

00:39:23you can do

00:39:23now is prepare

00:39:24yourself.

00:39:25Prepare for

00:39:26what?

00:39:26Prepare to

00:39:27receive the

00:39:27surprise I've

00:39:28prepared for

00:39:29you.

00:39:29I step around

00:39:30him and walk

00:39:31away.

00:39:34he can

00:39:34already feel

00:39:35it.

00:39:37Tomorrow

00:39:38won't be a

00:39:38wedding.

00:39:40It will be a

00:39:41trial.

00:39:43On the

00:39:44wedding day,

00:39:45the world

00:39:45watches live.

00:39:51everyone thinks

00:39:52this is the

00:39:53crowning moment

00:39:54for Nolan

00:39:54and Holly,

00:39:55but only a

00:39:56few know that

00:39:56what's truly

00:39:57beginning is a

00:39:58different game

00:39:58and proceed

00:39:59as planned.

00:40:00Create chaos.

00:40:04The target,

00:40:05Nolan.

00:40:07Then pin all

00:40:07of it on

00:40:08Flacidia,

00:40:08or Derek's

00:40:09people.

00:40:10He wants

00:40:11Nolan permanently

00:40:11tied to the

00:40:12Pearson family's

00:40:13fate.

00:40:13And I sit

00:40:14in another

00:40:15car,

00:40:16calmly

00:40:16straightening

00:40:17my cuffs.

00:40:17Nervous?

00:40:21No.

00:40:22I've waited

00:40:23too long

00:40:24for this

00:40:24day.

00:40:25The wedding

00:40:25hasn't even

00:40:26begun,

00:40:27but every

00:40:27player is

00:40:28already inside

00:40:29the trap.

00:40:30The carpet

00:40:30is lit up

00:40:31by a

00:40:32thousand

00:40:32flashes.

00:40:34Holly stands

00:40:35at the altar

00:40:36in couture

00:40:37bridal silk,

00:40:38her face

00:40:39full of

00:40:40certainty

00:40:40and triumph.

00:40:42She thinks

00:40:43she'll be

00:40:44the most

00:40:44dazzling

00:40:45woman in

00:40:45the world

00:40:45today.

00:40:46Too bad,

00:40:47she won't

00:40:48be.

00:40:49Her Royal

00:40:50Highness,

00:40:51Princess

00:40:51Allison of

00:40:52Plejia,

00:40:53arrives.

00:40:54I'm the

00:40:54last to

00:40:54step onto

00:40:55the carpet.

00:40:55I'm not

00:40:56wearing a

00:40:56gown.

00:40:57I'm wearing

00:40:58a tailored

00:40:58beige

00:40:59pinstreet

00:40:59suit.

00:41:00The cameras

00:41:01pivot toward

00:41:01me almost

00:41:02at once.

00:41:04How dare

00:41:05she come

00:41:06here?

00:41:06The moment

00:41:07I walk

00:41:07past them,

00:41:08they know

00:41:09the most

00:41:10unforgettable

00:41:10person here

00:41:11today is

00:41:12not Holly.

00:41:13It is

00:41:14me.

00:41:16The

00:41:17officiant

00:41:18begins

00:41:18the

00:41:18vows.

00:41:21Holly

00:41:22still

00:41:22believes

00:41:23everything

00:41:23is moving

00:41:24according

00:41:24to her

00:41:25plan.

00:41:27I

00:41:28slowly

00:41:28rise to

00:41:29my feet.

00:41:31Every

00:41:32eye in

00:41:33the room

00:41:33turns towards

00:41:34me again.

00:41:34I pick

00:41:35up the

00:41:35microphone

00:41:36beside me,

00:41:37ready to

00:41:37expose her

00:41:38in front

00:41:38of everyone.

00:41:39The

00:41:40silence is

00:41:41a blank

00:41:41canvas and

00:41:42I am about

00:41:43to paint

00:41:43it with

00:41:43the ugly

00:41:44truth.

00:41:45Before

00:41:46every witness

00:41:47in this

00:41:47room,

00:41:49Mr.

00:41:49President,

00:41:50can you

00:41:50tell us

00:41:51if the

00:41:51child carried

00:41:52by the

00:41:52woman beside

00:41:53you is

00:41:54truly yours?

00:41:55Dead

00:41:56silence fills

00:41:57the room.

00:41:57Allison,

00:41:58are you

00:41:58insane?

00:41:59I'm not

00:42:00the one

00:42:00who's lost

00:42:01her mind.

00:42:02The

00:42:02insane

00:42:02ones are

00:42:03the people

00:42:04building a

00:42:04future on

00:42:05lies.

00:42:09Holly's face

00:42:10turn pale

00:42:10and her

00:42:11hands clutch

00:42:12the bridal

00:42:13silk.

00:42:14In that

00:42:15exact second,

00:42:16the live

00:42:16broadcast cuts

00:42:17out.

00:42:18The 30

00:42:18seconds after

00:42:19the feed

00:42:19cuts out

00:42:20are the

00:42:20most valuable

00:42:2130 seconds

00:42:22of the

00:42:22night.

00:42:23The screens

00:42:23go dark,

00:42:24but inside

00:42:25the room,

00:42:25no one

00:42:26can escape.

00:42:27Restore the

00:42:27feed right

00:42:28now!

00:42:32The system

00:42:33is rebooting.

00:42:34Holly's voice

00:42:35voice is

00:42:35shaking.

00:42:36She is

00:42:37finally

00:42:37afraid.

00:42:38Allison,

00:42:38what exactly

00:42:39do you

00:42:39have?

00:42:40He still

00:42:40doesn't

00:42:40understand.

00:42:41I have

00:42:42everything I

00:42:43need to

00:42:43burn his

00:42:43world down.

00:42:44You're about

00:42:44to find out.

00:42:45The giant

00:42:46screen in

00:42:47the venue

00:42:47suddenly lights

00:42:48up.

00:42:50But before

00:42:51the footage

00:42:51fully rolls

00:42:52inside the

00:42:53room,

00:42:53the public

00:42:54livestream

00:42:54comes back.

00:42:55Millions of

00:42:56viewers around

00:42:57the world

00:42:57catch only

00:42:58the final

00:42:59image.

00:43:00Holly pale

00:43:00as a ghost.

00:43:02Nolan's

00:43:03stunned,

00:43:04and the

00:43:04hall in

00:43:05chaos.

00:43:06Holly knows

00:43:07the thing

00:43:07that can

00:43:08destroy her

00:43:09has already

00:43:09been released.

00:43:10Yet I know

00:43:11the full

00:43:11evidence hasn't

00:43:12even been

00:43:13laid out yet.

00:43:14After the

00:43:15livestream returns,

00:43:16no one in

00:43:17the room has

00:43:17recovered from

00:43:18those 30

00:43:18seconds of

00:43:19chaos.

00:43:20But I know

00:43:20the real show

00:43:21is only just

00:43:22beginning.

00:43:24Allison,

00:43:24what exactly

00:43:25do you think

00:43:25you're doing?

00:43:27Simple.

00:43:28I want the

00:43:29truth out in

00:43:30the open.

00:43:30I raise my

00:43:31hand and

00:43:31signal for

00:43:32the footage

00:43:32to continue,

00:43:33ready to

00:43:34expose her

00:43:34lies for

00:43:35all to

00:43:35see.

00:43:37In the

00:43:37footage,

00:43:38Holly is

00:43:39alone in

00:43:39a dressing

00:43:39room,

00:43:40slowly

00:43:40unfassing

00:43:41the support

00:43:42band around

00:43:42her waist.

00:43:44Then she

00:43:45removed the

00:43:46fake bump

00:43:46with her

00:43:47own hands.

00:43:52No!

00:43:53That's not

00:43:53true!

00:43:56Bring them

00:43:57in.

00:43:57The doors

00:43:58open again.

00:43:59Four men

00:44:00are escorted

00:44:00in by

00:44:01on-site

00:44:01security.

00:44:04Holly,

00:44:05how did

00:44:06things go

00:44:07this far?

00:44:07You know

00:44:08better than

00:44:08anyone whose

00:44:09child it is.

00:44:10Or perhaps

00:44:10you're not

00:44:11even pregnant.

00:44:13Checkmate.

00:44:14There is no

00:44:15escape for her

00:44:16now.

00:44:17Holly's legs

00:44:18give out and

00:44:19she collapses

00:44:19to the floor.

00:44:21Her true

00:44:21colors are laid

00:44:22bare in front

00:44:23of everyone.

00:44:25Holly's fake

00:44:26pregnancy turns

00:44:27this ceremony

00:44:27into a laughing

00:44:28stoke.

00:44:29But for me,

00:44:30this is not

00:44:31enough.

00:44:32She's not the

00:44:33only one going

00:44:33down.

00:44:34The Persons

00:44:35will fall

00:44:35with her.

00:44:38The Royal

00:44:39House of

00:44:39Flesia has an

00:44:40evidence package

00:44:41to transfer.

00:44:42Simon rises,

00:44:43walks to the

00:44:43front,

00:44:44and hands an

00:44:44encrypted data

00:44:45case to the

00:44:45senior federal

00:44:46security officer

00:44:47on-site.

00:44:48It contains

00:44:48evidence of

00:44:49years of

00:44:49financial fraud,

00:44:51illicit

00:44:51transactions,

00:44:52and leads

00:44:53tied to

00:44:53multiple

00:44:54serious

00:44:54violent crimes

00:44:55committed by

00:44:56the Pearson

00:44:56family,

00:44:57including the

00:44:57plane crash

00:44:58that killed

00:44:58Allison's

00:44:59adoptive

00:44:59parents.

00:45:00The plane

00:45:01crash?

00:45:03Nonsense!

00:45:04This is a

00:45:04political

00:45:05frame-up!

00:45:09Then verify

00:45:10it here and

00:45:11now.

00:45:11Let everyone

00:45:12in this room

00:45:12bear witness.

00:45:13Federal technical

00:45:14staff connect

00:45:14the device on

00:45:15the spot.

00:45:15Transaction

00:45:16routes and

00:45:16shell company

00:45:17records begin

00:45:17appearing one

00:45:18after another.

00:45:19Wilson,

00:45:19can you still

00:45:20deny it now?

00:45:21When people are

00:45:22driven into a

00:45:23corner, that's

00:45:23when they reveal

00:45:24their true

00:45:24colors.

00:45:25Wilson is

00:45:26exactly that

00:45:27kind of man.

00:45:27Rather than

00:45:28admit his

00:45:28wrongdoings when

00:45:29the tide turns

00:45:30against him,

00:45:30he resorts to

00:45:31violence.

00:45:32In the next

00:45:32second, a

00:45:33hidden shooter

00:45:34in the crowd

00:45:35suddenly draws

00:45:36a weapon.

00:45:37The barrel

00:45:37points straight

00:45:38at Nolan.

00:45:39In that split

00:45:40second, my

00:45:41body moves before

00:45:42thought catches

00:45:43up.

00:45:43I step into

00:45:44the line of

00:45:44fire, taking

00:45:45the shot for

00:45:46Nolan.

00:45:46Even I cannot

00:45:47explain why I

00:45:47move in that

00:45:48moment.

00:45:49Maybe it is

00:45:49not that I've

00:45:50forgiven him at

00:45:50all, because

00:45:51this game isn't

00:45:52over.

00:45:52Nolan can't

00:45:53die yet.

00:45:54The bullet

00:45:54tears across

00:45:55the outside of

00:45:55my arm, but

00:45:57I'm wearing

00:45:57ballistic form

00:45:58aware.

00:45:58I draw my

00:45:59pistol in one

00:46:00motion and

00:46:01shoot the

00:46:01attacker through

00:46:02the wrist.

00:46:07Nolan stares

00:46:08at me, rooted

00:46:09to the spot.

00:46:09He probably

00:46:10never imagines

00:46:11that even

00:46:11now, at a

00:46:12moment like

00:46:13this, I'm

00:46:14still the one

00:46:14standing in

00:46:15front of him.

00:46:15A real

00:46:16takedown is

00:46:17never carried

00:46:18out by one

00:46:18person alone.

00:46:22The moment I

00:46:23fire the shot,

00:46:24Simon's Royal

00:46:25Protection Unit

00:46:25moves in.

00:46:27Lock it

00:46:28down.

00:46:28At the same

00:46:29time, Derek's

00:46:30people seal

00:46:31every exit.

00:46:31No assassin

00:46:32gets to

00:46:32leave.

00:46:36How dare

00:46:37you!

00:46:38Several

00:46:38planted

00:46:38operatives

00:46:39hidden in

00:46:39the crowd

00:46:40try to move

00:46:40and are

00:46:41immediately

00:46:41forced to

00:46:42the floor.

00:46:43Derek steps

00:46:44forward and

00:46:45produces an

00:46:45emergency

00:46:46investigative

00:46:47order a

00:46:47bearing the

00:46:48president's

00:46:48signature.

00:46:49Wilson

00:46:50Pearson, you

00:46:51are under

00:46:51arrest.

00:46:52No!

00:46:53Dad!

00:46:54Nolan stands

00:46:55where he is,

00:46:56silent.

00:46:57By this

00:46:57point, everyone

00:46:58understands.

00:46:59Tonight, I'm

00:47:00not the only

00:47:00one turning the

00:47:01table over.

00:47:02It's me,

00:47:02Simon, Derek,

00:47:04and even Nolan

00:47:05who turned this

00:47:05event into a

00:47:06trial for the

00:47:06Pearsons.

00:47:07Take him.

00:47:08Security

00:47:08officers place

00:47:10Wilson in

00:47:10handcuffs on

00:47:11the spot.

00:47:12He tries to

00:47:13resist, but

00:47:14it's to no

00:47:14avail.

00:47:17Holly cries

00:47:18when Wilson

00:47:18is LED away

00:47:19in handcuffs.

00:47:21Her whole

00:47:21body shakes.

00:47:22When I look

00:47:23at her, all

00:47:24I feel is

00:47:25calm.

00:47:25She wants

00:47:26to steal my

00:47:27husband and

00:47:28my place with

00:47:28a fake

00:47:29pregnancy.

00:47:30Now she

00:47:31finally gets

00:47:32exactly what

00:47:33she deserves.

00:47:35Allison,

00:47:38please.

00:47:41Beg me?

00:47:43Do you think

00:47:44you deserve

00:47:44my forgiveness?

00:47:46Nolan walks

00:47:47toward me.

00:47:48His eyes

00:47:49fall on the

00:47:50greys along

00:47:51my arm,

00:47:51and his

00:47:52breathing turns

00:47:53uneasy.

00:47:54Drazen moans

00:47:54along

00:47:55granation.

00:47:56He tries to

00:47:57reach for me.

00:47:58I turn and

00:47:59avoid him

00:47:59completely.

00:48:00Don't touch

00:48:01me.

00:48:05I look at

00:48:06Holly under

00:48:07restraint,

00:48:08then toward

00:48:09the direction

00:48:09Wilson is

00:48:10taken,

00:48:11and only

00:48:12then let

00:48:12my gaze

00:48:13settle back

00:48:13on Nolan.

00:48:15Do you

00:48:16see it now?

00:48:17This is the

00:48:18woman you

00:48:18choose?

00:48:24And the

00:48:25family standing

00:48:26behind her.

00:48:26are you

00:48:27satisfied with

00:48:28the surprise

00:48:28I prepare for

00:48:29you,

00:48:29Mr.

00:48:30President?

00:48:31It takes

00:48:31only one

00:48:32night for

00:48:32a wedding

00:48:33of the

00:48:33century to

00:48:35become a

00:48:35scandal of

00:48:36the century.

00:48:37By the

00:48:37next morning,

00:48:38global headlines

00:48:39are exploding.

00:48:40The

00:48:40president's

00:48:41wedding crumbles

00:48:42as the

00:48:42Pearson

00:48:42family is

00:48:43linked to

00:48:44multiple

00:48:44major

00:48:45criminal

00:48:45investigations.

00:48:47Representatives

00:48:47of the

00:48:48Royal House

00:48:48of Flessia

00:48:49and Federal

00:48:50Investigative

00:48:51Forces move

00:48:52in together.

00:48:53Pearson

00:48:53controlled

00:48:54companies,

00:48:55their

00:48:55market value

00:48:56plumbers

00:48:56more than

00:48:56half in

00:48:57a single

00:48:57night.

00:48:59Meanwhile,

00:49:00Nolan's

00:49:00approval numbers

00:49:01are also

00:49:02collapsing.

00:49:09Mr.

00:49:10President,

00:49:11the public

00:49:12is now

00:49:12questioning

00:49:13your judgment.

00:49:14The

00:49:14opposition

00:49:15is demanding

00:49:15a wider

00:49:15investigation.

00:49:17Derek

00:49:17becomes

00:49:18the biggest

00:49:18winner.

00:49:22He

00:49:23smoothly

00:49:23takes

00:49:23control

00:49:24of the

00:49:24Special

00:49:25Investigative

00:49:25Committee.

00:49:34Tell the

00:49:35press,

00:49:36I'll

00:49:36oversee

00:49:36this

00:49:37to the

00:49:37end.

00:49:37The

00:49:38wound

00:49:38on my

00:49:38arm

00:49:39isn't

00:49:39severe,

00:49:40but the

00:49:40hospital

00:49:41still insists

00:49:42on keeping

00:49:42me under

00:49:42observation.

00:49:43I only

00:49:44want some

00:49:44quiet,

00:49:46but some

00:49:47people never

00:49:47learn when

00:49:48to stay

00:49:48away.

00:49:52He

00:49:52stands in

00:49:53the doorway,

00:49:55stubble

00:49:55dark along

00:49:55his jaw,

00:49:56his eyes

00:49:57bloodshot.

00:50:00How did

00:50:00you get

00:50:01in?

00:50:03I want

00:50:04to see

00:50:04you.

00:50:05But I

00:50:05don't want

00:50:05to see

00:50:06you.

00:50:10He

00:50:10doesn't

00:50:11leave.

00:50:11He

00:50:12simply

00:50:12stands

00:50:12there,

00:50:13his voice

00:50:14rough

00:50:14and

00:50:14low.

00:50:17I'm

00:50:18sorry.

00:50:19His apology

00:50:20is a hollow

00:50:20sound in

00:50:21the sterile

00:50:22room.

00:50:23Years too

00:50:23late to

00:50:24mean

00:50:24anything.

00:50:25Save

00:50:25your

00:50:26apologies.

00:50:27They

00:50:28don't bring

00:50:28back my

00:50:28adoptive

00:50:29parents.

00:50:30Or,

00:50:31or the

00:50:32three years

00:50:32I wasted

00:50:33on you.

00:50:35Nolan

00:50:36swallows

00:50:36hard and

00:50:37says

00:50:37nothing.

00:50:39If

00:50:40there's

00:50:40anyone in

00:50:40this world

00:50:41who hates

00:50:41me more

00:50:42than

00:50:42Holly,

00:50:43it has

00:50:43to be

00:50:44a

00:50:44leader.

00:50:44She

00:50:45looks

00:50:45down

00:50:45on me,

00:50:46humiliates

00:50:46me,

00:50:47and once

00:50:47falsely

00:50:48accused

00:50:51And

00:50:52the one

00:50:53kneeling

00:50:53in front

00:50:53of me.

00:50:56Allison,

00:50:57no,

00:50:57your

00:50:57highness,

00:51:00please

00:51:00spare me.

00:51:01She

00:51:02pushes

00:51:02a stack

00:51:02of documents

00:51:03towards

00:51:03me,

00:51:04trying

00:51:04to buy

00:51:05herself

00:51:05a way

00:51:05out.

00:51:10These

00:51:10are the

00:55:13Meanwhile,

00:55:14Nolan

00:55:14is in

00:55:15a precarious

00:55:15position.

00:55:19His

00:55:20chief of

00:55:20staff

00:55:21places a

00:55:21resignation

00:55:22speech on

00:55:22his desk.

00:55:24Nolan

00:55:24is finally

00:55:25learning what

00:55:26it feels

00:55:26like when

00:55:27everyone

00:55:27turns away

00:55:28from him.

00:55:29After

00:55:29Wilson's

00:55:30scandal,

00:55:31every ounce

00:55:32of pressure

00:55:32lands on

00:55:33him.

00:55:38Mr.

00:55:38President,

00:55:39this is your

00:55:40resignation

00:55:40speech.

00:55:41The moment

00:55:41that speech

00:55:42lands on

00:55:42his desk,

00:55:43dead silence

00:55:44fills the

00:55:44study.

00:55:45It is the

00:55:45best choice.

00:55:46If this drags

00:55:47on,

00:55:48impeachment

00:55:49will only

00:55:50make things

00:55:50worse.

00:55:51Nolan looks

00:55:51down at the

00:55:52speech,

00:55:52its pages

00:55:53dense with

00:55:53the usual

00:55:54rod of

00:55:54crisis

00:55:54management.

00:55:56But those

00:55:57words do

00:55:57not stay

00:55:57in his

00:55:58head.

00:55:58He

00:55:59thinks of

00:55:59me instead.

00:56:00He crashes

00:56:01the document

00:56:01into a

00:56:02ball.

00:56:06I am

00:56:07not

00:56:07resigning.

00:56:09I will

00:56:10pay for

00:56:10the mistakes

00:56:11I made

00:56:11myself.

00:56:12When I

00:56:12hear this,

00:56:13I set

00:56:14down the

00:56:14perfume

00:56:15bottle in

00:56:15my hand.

00:56:19That does

00:56:19not mean he

00:56:20is better

00:56:20now.

00:56:22It only

00:56:23means he

00:56:23is finally

00:56:24starting to

00:56:24pay for

00:56:25what he

00:56:25did.

00:56:27And on

00:56:27my side,

00:56:29the thing

00:56:29that truly

00:56:30belongs to

00:56:31me is

00:56:31finally

00:56:32taking

00:56:32shape.

00:56:37What my

00:56:38adoptive

00:56:38parents left

00:56:39behind is

00:56:40never just

00:56:40one formula.

00:56:43It is

00:56:44the blueprint

00:56:44of a

00:56:45business

00:56:45empire.

00:56:46And now,
