00:00My parents-in-law were bitten by a venomous snake.
00:02Only my husband's company has the anti-venom.
00:05Pick up, please, just pick up. Please.
00:08I called him countless times, but he was with his mistress.
00:11Why won't you pick up? Logan, answer the phone!
00:17Your parents were bitten by a venomous snake.
00:19The hospital doesn't have the anti-venom, only your company does.
00:22Hurry and bring the medicine.
00:24One vial of anti-venom costs over $100,000.
00:27Your parents get bitten, and you come to me to suck me dry?
00:31Dream on.
00:32I watched the red light outside the ER go off.
00:35Logan's whole family died because they didn't get the anti-venom.
00:38Then Rogan actually texted.
00:41Your parents' bodies can be sent to my company as live test objects for toxicity trials.
00:46At least they'd be making a contribution to science.
00:49So he thought the dead people were my parents.
00:51Alright, as you wish, I'll deliver them to you myself. Intact.
00:56Logan, my parents were bitten by the snakes, too.
01:00Can you give them the anti-venom?
01:04Of course, my princess.
01:07Darling, I want to reward you.
01:14Several venomous snakes appeared at the same time in a residential building,
01:18and she realized this was no accident.
01:20Hello, I'd like to report a crime.
01:23Ms. Land, this yellow-green rattlesnake is almost extinct in the country.
01:27But that didn't stop someone from buying them in bulk on the dark web.
01:31The delivery address was a shell company.
01:33But the credit card linked to the transaction belongs to Scarlet Reed's father.
01:38Scarlet's parents intended to get revenge on a neighbor.
01:40They bought the snakes online and released them.
01:42Instead, they accidentally killed Logan's entire family.
01:44They were also bitten.
01:45They're still in the hospital recovering.
01:47We can't interrogate them yet.
01:49Their venom has already been treated.
01:51You can interrogate them now.
01:52Don't worry.
01:53We will find out the truth, and we will get you justice.
01:56The cold white fluorescent lights made the morgue a pale white.
01:59I placed the divorce agreement under the consent form.
02:01Then, I turned around and walked in with walks in his arms, a smug smile on his face.
02:04Well, well.
02:04You're actually being reasonable today.
02:06Finally figured out who runs this house?
02:08I didn't speak.
02:08I just handed him the document.
02:09Logan didn't even glance at it.
02:18What are you doing?
02:19Stop it!
02:20Logan ignored my protest and kicked his father again.
02:23The bodies belong to my company now.
02:25You have no say.
02:26Back when I begged your father to let you marry me, he stomped me into the ground.
02:29He deserved to be poisoned!
02:30This time, the body tumbled off the gurney, crashing heavily onto the cold, tiled floor.
02:37Dad?
02:37He deserved to be poisoned!
02:39He deserves to be a live test subject for toxicity trials!
02:42I hurried over to steady the gurney, but the moment I drew near,
02:45Logan lifted his foot and kicked his mother's gurney hard.
02:52And your mother!
02:53Wasn't I good enough to her?
02:55Every time we fought, she told you to divorce me!
02:57They are your father and your mother, not mine!
03:01I froze where I stood, unable to bear the sight any longer.
03:03I couldn't let him keep desecrating the bodies.
03:05You're lying!
03:06Uncle and Auntie were fine at home.
03:08My parents were bitten yesterday while hiking,
03:10but Uncle and Auntie never even left the house.
03:12Are you sure your parents were bitten while hiking?
03:15Of course!
03:16How dare you suspect Scarlet!
03:18Just lift the sheet and see for yourself.
03:23There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes,
03:26as if resisting something,
03:28but also as if being driven by some invisible force.
03:38A familiar figure appeared at the door.
03:43Mrs. Scarlet, you're involved.
03:45Please come with us.
03:49S-Scarlet, you...
03:54Give my parents a grand funeral.
03:58I want them to leave with dignity.
04:00A funeral?
04:01Didn't you say they had it coming,
04:02and that their best use was as carvers for dissection?
04:05I already delivered them for you,
04:07and now you're changing your mind.
04:09What a headache.
04:11Are you even human?
04:12My parents are already dead,
04:14and you won't even let them rest in peace!
04:16So you know it's not human.
04:18Funny.
04:19That's exactly what you said to me.
04:21I'm just returning the favor.
04:22Can't take it?
04:23I'm already like this,
04:24and you still want to provoke me?
04:27Are you trying to kill me?
04:29Eleanor doesn't answer.
04:30She turns and leaves the ward.
04:31She no longer felt any attachment to this home.
04:34Yet the instant she opened the safe in Logan's study,
04:36her fingers paused.
04:37Eric Land.
04:39Look, sis.
04:40This is what science is for.
04:41It can't bring back the dead,
04:42but it can help fewer living people die.
04:45Mom, let me continue Eric's legacy.
04:47I'll make his research benefit the whole world.
04:50This isn't entrepreneurship.
04:53This is thief.
04:54Eric, this time your sister won't let you be wronged.
04:57What they stole, I'll take back with my own hands.
05:01Whatever he owes you, I'll make him pay back double.
05:03Eleanor, I've thought a lot.
05:05I'm sorry.
05:07For the sake of what we had, Scarlet fooled me.
05:09Can you give me one more chance?
05:11From the second you insulted me to per Scarlet,
05:13you became a dead man to me.
05:15We're getting divorced.
05:16Touch me again and I'm calling the cops.
05:18Ha!
05:19I knew it.
05:19You're the one pulling the strings behind this.
05:21You made Logan sue my parents, didn't you?
05:23You toxic bitch!
05:24I'm here as a witness.
05:25For justice for the people who died.
05:27No way!
05:28Not a single one of your family is innocent.
05:32You killed my parents.
05:34I'll make you pay with blood!
05:36Does the defense have anything further to state?
05:41Logan, I'm pregnant.
05:44Court is now back in session.
05:46Your Honor, given the defendant, Scarlet Reed's current physical condition, early pregnancy,
05:50emotional instability, the defense requests a postponement and a reconsideration.
05:54May I say a few words?
05:55The witness may speak.
05:561.
05:57Under state law, pregnancy is not a legal ground for bail.
06:00The defendant is charged with involuntary manslaughter resulting in multiple deaths
06:04and aiding in the concealment of a crime.
06:06Both are non-bailable felonies.
06:082.
06:09Pregnancy is not an illness.
06:11If she can present a pregnancy test in court, she can stand trial in court.
06:15If the defendant is ultimately convicted,
06:17any child born while she is incarcerated shall under state law
06:21be automatically transferred to a social service agency for foster placement.
06:26You will give birth to this child in prison.
06:29And within 24 hours, hours, you will watch him get taken away.
06:37Does the defense have anything further?
06:40Finally, everything is over, and everyone will have to pay for what they have done.
06:44Next, it's Logan's turn.
06:47We were still married at the time.
06:48That money was marital property.
06:50Half of it was mine.
06:51Logan, desperate to make up for his mistakes, handed over all the transfer records.
06:55My brother, Eric Land, had been a world-renowned toxigen his entire life
06:59to the study of snake antivenoms.
07:01Five years ago, he died in a lab accident.
07:03He left behind years of unpublished research.
07:06Broad-spectrum anti-venom, 91.3% success rate in animal trials.
07:10Sis, it's almost there.
07:12Soon we'll be able to save lives.
07:23You're going to destroy me?
07:24The company is my life's work.
07:26Your life's work?
07:26That was the research results my brother paid for with his life.
07:29You stole a dead man's work to fund your mistress,
07:31and now you want to talk to me about hard work?
07:34How much do you know?
07:35A hell of a lot more than you think.
07:37The investigation is already on its way.
07:39The evidence of Thorne Biotech's unauthorized human trials
07:43will come to light soon.
07:44Logan, you stole my brother's work.
07:47You spent my family's money.
07:49You killed your own family.
07:51All of this, you did it to yourself.
07:55The defendant, Mr. and Mrs. Reed, guilty as charged.
08:00Sentenced to life imprisonment.
08:02The defendant, Scarlett Reed, guilty of aiding in the concealment of a crime.
08:07Sentenced to five years in prison.
08:09And ordered to pay back $3 million.
08:11Regarding the case of Land v. Thorne Biotech,
08:14the defendant, Logan Thorne, constituting intellectual property theft and business fraud.
08:18Guilty as charged.
08:19Defendant is ordered to pay the plaintiff all illegal profits plus punitive damages totaling $12 million.
08:25All assets frozen and ordered to be liquidated.
08:27The investigation was clear.
08:29Scarlett's parents bought venomous snakes to get revenge on a neighbor.
08:32They accidentally killed Logan's family.
08:34And Scarlett deleted my emergency messages so her parents could get the anti-venom first.
08:44James.
08:45Yeah.
08:52The lab was buzzing with researchers hard at work.
08:55Eleanor outside the glass door, watching it all.
08:57Her expression was complex.
08:59A mix of relief and nostalgia.
09:00Her brother's researchers had...
09:02Eleanor, if Eric knew his work was back on the right path, he'd be proud.
09:06Eleanor didn't answer.
09:07She thought of the last time she saw her brother.
09:11Look sis, this is what science is for.
09:13It can't bring back the dead, but it can help fewer living people die.
09:17I just did what I could.
09:19That's enough.
09:21Most people won't even do what they can.
09:24Later, it was said that Logan went to Las Vegas.
09:27He dreamed of getting rich overnight and making a comeback.
09:30But he was no longer the tech wunderkind he once was.
09:33He gambled away the last of his savings.
09:35Ran up a huge gambling debt.
09:37Debt collectors came knocking.
09:38They took one of his kidneys.
09:40No one came to claim his body.
09:42That once glamorous man ended up with no one to see him off.
09:45Scarlett gave birth to Logan's child inside the prison medical center.
09:49The baby was handed over to social services by law.
09:52Later, she killed herself with a sharpened toothbrush.
09:55When guards found her, she lay in blood, clutching the newborn's photo.
10:01Mrs. Land, there's a visitor here.
10:03He says he's a lawyer introduced by Detective James Hawk, here to discuss international patent registration.
10:10Send him in.
10:12The lawyer couldn't make it at the last minute, so I had to come myself.
10:16And while I'm here, I wanted to see how that woman with the surgeon's steady hands when signing death certificates
10:21is doing these days.
10:22Eleanor looked at him and the sunflowers.
10:24She couldn't help but smile.
10:26It was the first time in months that she had smiled from the heart.
10:29The sunflowers gleamed golden in the sunlight.
10:31James watched Eleanor smiling.
10:33And there was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
10:35Not bad, just busy.
10:37I just funded three new projects, and I have to go to Switzerland for a toxicology conference.
10:42Switzerland?
10:43What a coincidence.
10:44I happen to have some vacation time coming up.
10:47I hear the Alps are beautiful this time of year.
10:49Detective James Hawk.
10:51Are you asking me out?
10:53And if I said yes?
10:55Then I might consider it.
10:58Then I'll wait for your good news.
11:01After James left, I thought about it carefully.
11:03It was time to move on.
11:05The sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the sunflowers on my desk.
11:09Golden.
11:09Like a brand new beginning.
11:11Eleanor didn't say yes to James directly.
11:13Not because she didn't want to, but because she needed time.
11:17Her past marriage had taught her that hasty decisions often lead to long-term pain.
11:22Go.
11:22You deserve a break.
11:24Don't worry about the foundation.
11:26We've got it covered.
11:27Eleanor took out her younger brother's old photos.
11:30The last one was taken a week before he passed away.
11:32Sister, look.
11:33This direction is right.
11:34Your sister is going to Switzerland.
11:36This time, not for anyone else.
11:38For myself.
11:39James had sent her travel guides to Switzerland.
11:41Mountains, lakes, small towns.
11:43You can go anywhere you want.
11:46In the chat log, their conversation had taken on of lightness and smiles.
11:50I've seen the worst of human nature and the best.
11:54But people like you, who can go through so much and still stand up and keep moving forward,
12:00there aren't many.
12:03Eleanor.
12:04Hmm?
12:04You don't have to carry everything alone.
12:07I know you're strong.
12:10But being strong doesn't mean you can't lean on anyone.
12:14You can lean on me.
12:16The alpine sunset took its time.
12:19As if it understood.
12:21The road ahead, she would no longer walk it alone.
12:24By then, thousands of people will be saved because of this.
12:29This isn't just your brother's wish.
12:31It's also your own achievement.
12:33I just did what I could.
12:34That's enough.
12:35James continued to work at the police station.
12:38But their paths crossed more and more often.
12:40Sometimes he came to the foundation to see her, bringing a cup of coffee.
12:44Sometimes she went to the restaurant near his palatian to wait for him to get off hearts.
12:48This was not just ordinary friendship.
12:50Eric was right.
12:51Help fewer living people die.
12:53The meaning of science is to help fewer living people die.
12:57And the meaning of love is probably help the ones who are worth it live well.
13:01Come in.
13:03Not busy today?
13:04You know I don't like wasting time.
13:06Not in business.
13:07And certainly not with you.
13:08I'm asking you to marry me.
13:10So, Miss Eleanor, what's your answer?
13:16I do.
