00:00:00Non respect, nothing at all.

00:00:02I had no warmth.

00:00:03Three years of marriage, I had no warmth, no respect, nothing at all.

00:00:07I exhausted myself saving my ex-husband from a car accident,

00:00:10only for a scheming homewrecker to steal the credit.

00:00:14After my heart died, I signed the divorce agreement with my composure.

00:00:18Then I married a mysterious tycoon.

00:00:21I tear apart the scumbag and the slut,

00:00:24launching a satisfyingly ruthless counterattack.

00:00:26Only three hours earlier, Madison and I had been abducted.

00:00:30Breaking free had pushed me past every limit,

00:00:33but somehow, I'd pulled it off.

00:00:37I gripped the steering wheel with pain stabbing through my abdomen.

00:00:41The kidnapper's car looms closer in the rearview mirror.

00:00:44If we die out here, you'll never forgive yourself, will you, Declan?

00:00:52In the passenger seat, Madison trembles, her face paperwhite.

00:00:59Dana, if I die out here, Declan will never forgive you!

00:01:03Shut up!

00:01:06I calculate the distance and speed, making a snap decision.

00:01:11Open the door. We're jumping.

00:01:14I can't! I'm scared! I can't do it!

00:01:20Then stay here and die.

00:01:22I leap from the speeding car.

00:01:24Madison follows.

00:01:27Metal crashes against metal behind us.

00:01:30My body hits the road hard, tumbling over and over.

00:01:34Then, an explosion.

00:01:35The blast wave tosses me like a ragdoll.

00:01:42I lift my head, hope sparkling in my exhausted eyes.

00:01:47Declan rushes towards us, desperation on his face.

00:01:52Declan!

00:01:58He moves right past me and pulls Madison into his arms.

00:02:07Relief washes over his face as he holds her close.

00:02:13Maddie, are you hurt?

00:02:18You got here just in time.

00:02:19If you hadn't showed up, Dana would have gotten me killed.

00:02:22You set all this up, didn't you?

00:02:23We were both taken.

00:02:25I nearly got myself killed trying to save her.

00:02:28This was your plan all along.

00:02:30You worked with the kidnappers.

00:02:31One of them told me everything.

00:02:33You'll pay for every filthy lie that just left your mouth.

00:02:36How could you be this cruel?

00:02:37I can't believe I married someone like you.

00:02:39We'll settle this when I return.

00:02:41He turned his back, lifting Madison effortlessly

00:02:43as she shot me a smug, mocking glance.

00:02:45I stand frozen.

00:02:46Bruces are nothing compared to the agony in my chest.

00:02:48My arms hang stiff at my sides

00:02:50as I watch him lift Madden effortlessly and hurry towards the car.

00:02:52Madison throws me a smug, mocking glance over his shoulder.

00:02:57My mind drifted to that night years ago

00:03:00when I dragged Declan out of a wreck with my own hands

00:03:03then blacked out from exhaustion.

00:03:05Madison framed me for an affair.

00:03:07When I woke, Madison had claimed she was the hero.

00:03:11The memories crash over me.

00:03:14I stumble forward before my strength gives out completely.

00:03:18Blood spills from my lips.

00:03:20Then, everything fades into darkness.

00:03:24Three years of marriage.

00:03:25No warmth.

00:03:26No courtesy.

00:03:28Nothing.

00:03:29I lie unconsciously in a hospital bed,

00:03:32trapped in a dreamless slumber.

00:03:34A man in a wheelchair sits silently beside me,

00:03:36dressed in a perfectly cut black suit.

00:03:38His face is flawlessly carved,

00:03:40like a statue touched by the hands of gods.

00:03:43Everything about him exudes quiet, effortless power.

00:03:46Mr. Hudson,

00:03:48your health of the condition is worsening.

00:03:50If we can't stop it,

00:03:52permanent immobility is certain.

00:03:53At this stage,

00:03:54your only chance may lie with

00:03:55the wreath physician.

00:03:57With my current condition,

00:04:00is fathering a child still an option?

00:04:03The doctor is stunned into silence.

00:04:05The doctor withdrew silently,

00:04:07and the door closed softly.

00:04:09Christopher was left alone in the ward.

00:04:10I jolt awake with a sharp inhale.

00:04:13Antiseptic smells pungent.

00:04:17My stomach twists.

00:04:24You're awake?

00:04:25Christopher Hudson?

00:04:27Christopher Hudson?

00:04:29You had no fear when you plotted against me

00:04:31for the foster group.

00:04:32Interesting how that bravery seems to vanish now.

00:04:35His stare cuts through me like a blade.

00:04:37I have to get a grip.

00:04:40You were the one who saved me.

00:04:42You're not entirely useless.

00:04:43If I hadn't passed by and intervened,

00:04:45you'd be dead by now.

00:04:47I bite my lip,

00:04:48rage flickering in my eyes.

00:04:52I turn toward him,

00:04:53and only then realize he's sitting in a wheelchair.

00:04:56Your legs!

00:04:57That's why you disappeared.

00:04:59Three years ago.

00:05:00So?

00:05:01You going to laugh at me now?

00:05:03No!

00:05:04I wouldn't.

00:05:06My thoughts race.

00:05:06Then I slowly ball my fists.

00:05:08Lift my chin.

00:05:09Mr. Hudson?

00:05:10Why don't we make a deal?

00:05:12A deal?

00:05:14A deal that benefits us both.

00:05:16My voice was calm and firm.

00:05:20The room turns oddly quiet.

00:05:22I wait for Christopher's response.

00:05:26Dana,

00:05:26what makes you think you have the right to bargain with someone like me?

00:05:30What if I told you?

00:05:33I could help you walk again.

00:05:35His expression flickers.

00:05:36His hand grips the arm press tighter.

00:05:42I slip out of bed and lower myself calmly in front of him.

00:05:46Start now,

00:05:47and I promise you'll see results in three months.

00:05:50My hand moves toward his leg.

00:05:53He grabs my wrist,

00:05:55squeezing tightly.

00:05:56What the hell do you think you're doing?

00:05:58With a ground,

00:05:59he shoves my hand aside.

00:06:01But I reach again without pause,

00:06:03pressing expertly along nerve points on his calf.

00:06:05A surge of feeling shoots through his leg.

00:06:08Sharp,

00:06:08electric,

00:06:09alive.

00:06:10So?

00:06:11How does that feel,

00:06:12Mr. Hudson?

00:06:13What do you want in return?

00:06:14Help me crush foster group,

00:06:16and reclaim everything my mother was robbed of.

00:06:19You want me to go after your dear husband's empire?

00:06:22Don't forget,

00:06:23you betrayed me once.

00:06:24That project you backed out of and handed to Deccan?

00:06:27It cost me tens of billions.

00:06:29Give me three months.

00:06:30I'll have you walking again.

00:06:32That's all I ask.

00:06:33We can strike the deal you want.

00:06:35But what I need from you now

00:06:37is an heir.

00:06:38My eyes widen,

00:06:40body tensing in disbelief.

00:06:42You can't even handle one condition?

00:06:45Then there's nothing more to talk about.

00:06:47He spins his wheelchair around

00:06:49and heads for the exit.

00:06:52Wait!

00:06:53I move to go after him,

00:06:55but my knees buckle.

00:06:56I collapse toward the wall.

00:07:00Christopher catches me by the waist.

00:07:02His crisp,

00:07:04woodsy scent surrounds me,

00:07:05strangely comforting,

00:07:06almost addicted.

00:07:08Are you finished putting on a show?

00:07:14No, I'm not done.

00:07:15I was going to say that I agree to your condition.

00:07:18Let's just...

00:07:19get married.

00:07:21Christopher tenses.

00:07:22Something dark stirs behind his cold eyes.

00:07:25You really don't get scared of anything, huh?

00:07:28After you've almost died once,

00:07:29nothing really scares you anymore.

00:07:31I grab the test results and toss them to him.

00:07:33Whether you trust me or not,

00:07:35I will marry you.

00:07:36Just give me a little time.

00:07:37I'll wrap up everything here with Deccan first.

00:07:40After that,

00:07:41he's out of my life for good.

00:07:42Christopher's mouth lifts,

00:07:43ever so slightly.

00:07:45One month.

00:07:46Play me again,

00:07:47and you'll realize death was the easiest way out.

00:07:52Dana,

00:07:53bring me a glass of water.

00:07:55Silence echoes back.

00:07:57His face tightens.

00:08:01Where is she?

00:08:04Mrs. Foster hasn't come back yet.

00:08:06What do you mean she hasn't come back?

00:08:10Since Mrs. Foster got kidnapped,

00:08:12we came back from the break

00:08:14and haven't seen her since.

00:08:16So she finally grew a spine?

00:08:18Tried some pity stunt,

00:08:19didn't work,

00:08:20and now she storms off playing the victim?

00:08:21Let her sulk all she wants.

00:08:23She can stay away for good for all I care.

00:08:26Sir,

00:08:27Mrs. Foster's back.

00:08:33Well,

00:08:33look who finally remembers where she lives.

00:08:36What's the matter?

00:08:37Coughing up blood wasn't dramatic enough for you?

00:08:39Had to put on a full show for the crowd, huh?

00:08:43Dana,

00:08:44did you suddenly go deaf,

00:08:46or are you just pretending I'm not standing here?

00:08:48Move.

00:08:50Try me again,

00:08:51and I swear you'll regret it.

00:08:53Oh, really?

00:08:55You already watched me bleeding on the ground

00:08:57and walked away.

00:08:58Were you planning to finish the job next time?

00:09:03What the hell is that supposed to mean?

00:09:06I've already done you a favor

00:09:08by not making you pay for what you did to Madison?

00:09:12And now you're pulling this stunt?

00:09:16You actually believe I orchestrated that?

00:09:19No wonder you're so easy to manipulate.

00:09:22Calling you dumb would be generous.

00:09:26Get back here.

00:09:28Now.

00:09:29Three seconds, Dana,

00:09:30or I'm filing for divorce.

00:09:34Then let's go get it done.

00:09:37I'm ready.

00:09:40Declan storms to his studio

00:09:42and slams a divorce agreement onto the table.

00:09:45You want a divorce?

00:09:47Let's make it official.

00:09:54I calmly pick it up,

00:09:56scan the pages,

00:09:57and sign with one smooth, deliberate stroke.

00:10:01Declan stares at me,

00:10:02speechless.

00:10:04His phone rings sharply.

00:10:06He glances at the screen.

00:10:09What?

00:10:10You found the wraithed physician?

00:10:12Stay where you are.

00:10:13I'm on my way.

00:10:15My steps falter mid-stride.

00:10:17This divorce can still be undone.

00:10:20My eyes narrow.

00:10:22If you still want to be my wife,

00:10:24show up at the hospital by 8 tomorrow.

00:10:26Apologize to Maddie,

00:10:27or we're through for real.

00:10:29I stand still for a moment,

00:10:31hand tightening.

00:10:36Goodbye.

00:10:37And good riddance.

00:10:43Within weeks,

00:10:45the divorce is finalized.

00:10:46I stand quietly outside City Hall,

00:10:49calm as ever.

00:10:50A man in a clean blue shirt

00:10:52sits ahead of me,

00:10:53relaxed in his wheelchair.

00:10:55Good morning, Mr. Hudson.

00:10:57Let's go.

00:10:59The process is quick.

00:11:00Paper signed,

00:11:02confirmed,

00:11:03confirmed,

00:11:04filed.

00:11:05We're legally married.

00:11:07I step out.

00:11:09Relief and excitement

00:11:10bubbling inside me.

00:11:12Mr. Hudson,

00:11:14let's hope this partnership

00:11:15goes smoothly.

00:11:16Christopher doesn't move.

00:11:19You're moving into my downtown

00:11:20Vidaday.

00:11:21No delays.

00:11:24Wait.

00:11:25This is a contract marriage.

00:11:27Why do we have to live together?

00:11:29Don't forget your role.

00:11:31You're Mrs. Hudson now.

00:11:33My heart skips a beat.

00:11:34There's no divorce with me.

00:11:35Only death do us part.

00:11:37You married me,

00:11:39so don't even think about

00:11:40walking away.

00:11:41From now on,

00:11:43I'll protect you.

00:11:44You won't have to suffer again.

00:11:46I stare at him,

00:11:47stunned.

00:11:47My heart gives an involuntary flutter.

00:11:51My phone lights up.

00:11:53Missed calls and angry messages

00:11:55from Declan.

00:11:57I calmly block his number

00:11:59and erase the entire call log.

00:12:04Christopher catches it

00:12:05with a single glance.

00:12:07My phone lights up again.

00:12:08Another call.

00:12:10No name,

00:12:11just a number.

00:12:12Christopher goes still,

00:12:14completely frozen.

00:12:18I pause,

00:12:19sneaking a quick look

00:12:20at Christopher

00:12:21before hitting decline.

00:12:23I send a quick message to Nell.

00:12:33My gaze sharpens.

00:12:41Is it Declan?

00:12:43Ugh.

00:12:43That fool didn't even know

00:12:45his wife was the miracle physician

00:12:46and has spent millions

00:12:47to go find you.

00:12:48Interested, Nell.

00:12:49I'm over it.

00:12:50Trash like him

00:12:51doesn't deserve

00:12:51a second more of my time.

00:13:00My phone buzz.

00:13:01Nell calling.

00:13:02I decline and start typing.

00:13:05Mrs. Hudson?

00:13:06Seriously,

00:13:07which Hudson are you even referring to?

00:13:08Because not many big jobs

00:13:09in town have that name.

00:13:10Don't tell me you mean

00:13:11Christopher Hudson.

00:13:14It's him.

00:13:15You're totally walking

00:13:16into the tiger's cage.

00:13:30I silence the phone.

00:13:32When I look up,

00:13:33Christmas is still staring at me.

00:13:35Expression darkened.

00:13:36So,

00:13:36mind telling me exactly

00:13:37what tiger's cage means?

00:13:39It's where the most dangerous

00:13:40creatures are kept.

00:13:42Two years ago,

00:13:43Sherwood Group

00:13:44tried to mess it

00:13:44with Hudson Group

00:13:45to take over

00:13:45the global energy market.

00:13:47But in just one day,

00:13:48they got exposed for fraud

00:13:49and completely fell apart.

00:13:50So,

00:13:50tell me,

00:13:51Mr. Hudson,

00:13:51what woman wouldn't feel

00:13:52like she was walking

00:13:53into a tiger's cage

00:13:53by marrying you?

00:13:54Christopher lets out

00:13:55a low laugh.

00:13:55So,

00:13:56you've been digging

00:13:57into my past?

00:13:59We're married now,

00:14:00right?

00:14:02Isn't it normal

00:14:02to get to know

00:14:03each other better?

00:14:05Christopher gives

00:14:05a quiet,

00:14:06cold laugh.

00:14:07He looks away,

00:14:08letting it go.

00:14:14The car eases

00:14:15to a stop

00:14:16in front of

00:14:16a grand

00:14:17five-star hotel.

00:14:20Aren't we supposed

00:14:21to be going home?

00:14:22Why are we stopping here?

00:14:24I know we rushed

00:14:25the marriage papers,

00:14:26but we should still

00:14:27do things properly.

00:14:28And don't worry

00:14:29about the ceremony.

00:14:30I'll make it up to you.

00:14:32My cheeks turn red

00:14:32without a warning.

00:14:33A ringtone

00:14:34breaks the silence.

00:14:36Everything's ready.

00:14:37Head inside.

00:14:38I'll go find you later.

00:14:43Welcome,

00:14:44Mrs. Hudson.

00:14:45Mr. Hudson

00:14:46reserved everything

00:14:46this morning.

00:14:47Please come this way.

00:14:49Dana?

00:14:52Dana?

00:14:53You've got the nerve

00:14:54to show up

00:14:55in front of me?

00:14:55I have every right

00:14:57to be here.

00:14:57I walk past him

00:14:58like he doesn't exist.

00:15:01Dana!

00:15:02Have I been

00:15:02too easy on you?

00:15:03Who said you could

00:15:04treat me like this?

00:15:06Declan,

00:15:06who even are you?

00:15:07Why would I waste

00:15:08my time on you?

00:15:09She's just afraid

00:15:10of losing you.

00:15:11It's okay.

00:15:12But if you call

00:15:12the cops,

00:15:13she'll get humiliated.

00:15:14Humiliated?

00:15:15She should have

00:15:16thought of that

00:15:16before pulling

00:15:17a stunt like that.

00:15:18Don't think I don't

00:15:19know what you're

00:15:19doing, Dana.

00:15:20Ignoring me?

00:15:21And then suddenly

00:15:21showing up here,

00:15:22trying to play

00:15:23hard to get?

00:15:24What do you think

00:15:25you've got

00:15:25that's worth chasing?

00:15:27What do you think

00:15:28you've got

00:15:29that's worth chasing?

00:15:33She's not playing

00:15:34hard to get.

00:15:36She's done.

00:15:38With garbage

00:15:39like you.

00:15:39Every word

00:15:40hits us hard

00:15:41and cold.

00:15:42We all turn.

00:15:43Christopher is

00:15:44pushed here

00:15:44on a wheelchair.

00:15:45Face serious.

00:15:47Presence still

00:15:48powerful.

00:15:49His sharp eyes

00:15:50lock onto Declan.

00:15:51If Christopher

00:15:52hadn't had

00:15:53that accident...

00:15:54Mr. Hudson,

00:15:55I didn't know

00:15:56you were back

00:15:57in town.

00:15:58Christopher

00:15:59doesn't even

00:15:59look at him.

00:16:00He keeps his

00:16:00eyes on me.

00:16:03Come here.

00:16:04I step forward

00:16:05without hesitation.

00:16:09Let's go.

00:16:10The comfort

00:16:10between us

00:16:11is obvious.

00:16:12Easy.

00:16:13Natural.

00:16:15You still

00:16:16didn't do

00:16:16what I asked.

00:16:17Do I have

00:16:18to make you?

00:16:19Dana,

00:16:20I get that

00:16:20you're mad

00:16:21at Declan,

00:16:21but this isn't

00:16:22the way

00:16:22to deal with it.

00:16:23Getting close

00:16:24to another guy

00:16:24just to make

00:16:25him jealous,

00:16:25that'll only

00:16:26make him

00:16:26pull away more.

00:16:27I gave you

00:16:28a chance,

00:16:28Dana.

00:16:30Don't push me.

00:16:31Say sorry

00:16:32right now.

00:16:33Say sorry

00:16:34right now.

00:16:35Are you

00:16:35actually

00:16:36brain dead?

00:16:37When did I

00:16:38ever agree

00:16:39to say sorry?

00:16:40Okay,

00:16:40I know I was

00:16:41in the hospital

00:16:41for a few days

00:16:42because of it,

00:16:43but I don't

00:16:43hold it against

00:16:44you,

00:16:44Dana.

00:16:45Everyone messes

00:16:45up now and

00:16:46then.

00:16:46You've been

00:16:47yapping about

00:16:47calling the cops

00:16:48this whole time,

00:16:49haven't you?

00:16:49Then go ahead.

00:16:50Let's see who

00:16:50really ends up

00:16:51in trouble,

00:16:51me or your

00:16:52sweet,

00:16:52innocent

00:16:53Princess Maddie.

00:16:54I've been

00:16:55nice enough

00:16:55not to embarrass

00:16:56you in public

00:16:56already.

00:17:00How dare you

00:17:01talk to her

00:17:01like that?

00:17:01She's so

00:17:02considerate.

00:17:03Stop putting

00:17:03on airs.

00:17:04Oh please,

00:17:05I'm just

00:17:05trying not to

00:17:06throw up

00:17:06looking at

00:17:07the two

00:17:07of you.

00:17:11When did

00:17:11the hotel's

00:17:12security

00:17:12get so

00:17:13subpar?

00:17:14Now just

00:17:15anyone can

00:17:15wander in

00:17:16and start

00:17:16making scenes?

00:17:18Uh,

00:17:19sir,

00:17:19I...

00:17:20I...

00:17:22Mr. Hudson,

00:17:23this is

00:17:23something personal.

00:17:24I'd appreciate

00:17:25it if you

00:17:25stayed out

00:17:26of it.

00:17:26As far

00:17:26as I'm

00:17:27aware,

00:17:28Miss

00:17:28Murray is

00:17:28no longer

00:17:29your wife,

00:17:31which makes

00:17:31her entirely

00:17:32her own

00:17:32person.

00:17:33So you

00:17:34moved on

00:17:34already?

00:17:35You were

00:17:35messing around

00:17:36behind my

00:17:36back,

00:17:37weren't you?

00:17:43What?

00:17:44They actually

00:17:45split up?

00:17:46Unlike you,

00:17:48some of us

00:17:48still know what

00:17:49decency looks

00:17:50like.

00:17:50I should have

00:17:51known better

00:17:51than to let

00:17:51you back in.

00:17:52Mr. Hudson,

00:17:53don't let her

00:17:54trick...

00:17:54Mr. Foster,

00:17:56you really

00:17:56shouldn't think

00:17:57so highly of

00:17:58yourself.

00:17:58aren't you

00:17:59even curious

00:18:00what kind

00:18:01of woman

00:18:01she really

00:18:01is?

00:18:02My fists

00:18:03clench,

00:18:04nails biting

00:18:04into her

00:18:05skin.

00:18:06Declan,

00:18:07please,

00:18:07lower your

00:18:08voice.

00:18:09Even if

00:18:09Deya made

00:18:10mistake before,

00:18:11doesn't she

00:18:11deserve the

00:18:11chance to

00:18:12start over?

00:18:13What if

00:18:13this all

00:18:13goes public?

00:18:14How will

00:18:14she face

00:18:15it?

00:18:15She's the

00:18:16one who

00:18:16invited this.

00:18:17Deya,

00:18:17come here

00:18:18and apologize.

00:18:19That's the

00:18:19only way

00:18:19you'll walk

00:18:20out of here

00:18:20with any

00:18:20shred of

00:18:21dignity.

00:18:22I take

00:18:23the measured

00:18:23step forward,

00:18:24head high,

00:18:25icy gleam

00:18:26in her

00:18:26gaze.

00:18:27Repeat that,

00:18:29I dare

00:18:30you.

00:18:37Aren't you

00:18:37just mad

00:18:38that I'm

00:18:38telling the

00:18:39truth?

00:18:39My hand

00:18:40shoots out,

00:18:40a sharp

00:18:41slap cracks

00:18:41across his

00:18:42face.

00:18:42Her knee

00:18:42drives hard

00:18:43into his

00:18:43shin.

00:18:44He crumples

00:18:44with a

00:18:44startled

00:18:45grunt.

00:18:47Declan!

00:18:48I stands

00:18:49over him,

00:18:50tall and

00:18:50unyielding,

00:18:51eyes burning

00:18:51with cold

00:18:52resolve.

00:18:53If you'd

00:18:53used even

00:18:54an ounce

00:18:54of that

00:18:54brain of

00:18:55yours,

00:18:55you might

00:18:55have

00:18:55bothered

00:18:56to check

00:18:56the facts.

00:18:57But no,

00:18:58you're too

00:18:58busy clinging

00:18:59to your

00:18:59sad little

00:18:59victim act.

00:19:00Seriously,

00:19:01what's wrong

00:19:01with you?

00:19:02Is your

00:19:02ego that

00:19:03fragile,

00:19:03or do

00:19:04you just

00:19:04enjoy acting

00:19:05like a

00:19:05helpless

00:19:05cucklid?

00:19:06You've

00:19:06completely

00:19:07lost your

00:19:07mind!

00:19:08Deema,

00:19:08even if

00:19:09Declan talked

00:19:09about your

00:19:10past in

00:19:10front of

00:19:11everyone,

00:19:11he was

00:19:11simply being

00:19:12honest.

00:19:12How could

00:19:12you hit

00:19:13him like

00:19:13that?

00:19:13I turn

00:19:14slowly,

00:19:14eyes narrowing

00:19:15on Madison

00:19:16with pure

00:19:16disgust.

00:19:17My hand

00:19:18swings up.

00:19:19The slap

00:19:20lands on

00:19:20Madison's

00:19:21cheek.

00:19:21Dana?

00:19:22Echoing loud

00:19:23and sharp.

00:19:25He looks

00:19:26at her

00:19:26with concern.

00:19:27Maddie!

00:19:29Then turns

00:19:30to Dana

00:19:30with rage.

00:19:32Just because

00:19:32Kristen's on

00:19:33your side

00:19:34now,

00:19:34you think

00:19:34you can

00:19:34walk all

00:19:35over

00:19:35everyone?

00:19:36You've

00:19:37really gotta

00:19:37have nerves

00:19:38of steeled

00:19:38to cry

00:19:39victim

00:19:39after everything

00:19:40you've

00:19:40done.

00:19:41Everything

00:19:42you've

00:19:42done.

00:19:43get down

00:19:44on your

00:19:44knees

00:19:44and apologize

00:19:45to Madison

00:19:45now.

00:19:46Let her

00:19:46slap you

00:19:47back.

00:19:47Declan,

00:19:48Dana's

00:19:49always gotten

00:19:49the wrong

00:19:49idea about

00:19:50me.

00:19:51If taking

00:19:51this slap

00:19:52helps you

00:19:52two make

00:19:53up,

00:19:53then I'll

00:19:54take the

00:19:54humiliation.

00:19:55I don't

00:19:56mind.

00:19:56Do what I

00:19:57tell you

00:19:57or forget

00:19:57about ever

00:19:58coming back

00:19:58into my

00:19:59life.

00:19:59Krister's

00:20:00voice cuts

00:20:00through.

00:20:02You really

00:20:03shouldn't

00:20:03think highly

00:20:04of yourself,

00:20:05Mr.

00:20:05Foster.

00:20:06Talking

00:20:07to your

00:20:07ex like

00:20:08that doesn't

00:20:08make you

00:20:09strong.

00:20:10It just

00:20:10makes you

00:20:11look pathetic.

00:20:11So that's

00:20:12how it

00:20:12is,

00:20:13huh?

00:20:13I didn't

00:20:13realize you

00:20:14and Dana

00:20:14were this

00:20:15close.

00:20:15You jumping

00:20:16to defend

00:20:17her says

00:20:17a lot,

00:20:17Mr.

00:20:18Hudson.

00:20:19Dana,

00:20:19I really

00:20:20think you

00:20:21and Declan

00:20:21should talk

00:20:21it out.

00:20:22Maybe this

00:20:23is all

00:20:23just one

00:20:23big

00:20:24misunderstanding.

00:20:25Miss

00:20:25Reed,

00:20:25you've

00:20:26got quite

00:20:26the gift.

00:20:27You managed

00:20:27to make

00:20:27people crunch

00:20:28and laugh

00:20:28all at

00:20:29once.

00:20:29Should we

00:20:30get you

00:20:30a trophy

00:20:30for that

00:20:31brilliant

00:20:31little act,

00:20:32that kind

00:20:32of sad

00:20:32performance?

00:20:33Only a

00:20:34fool would

00:20:34buy it.

00:20:35Mr.

00:20:35Hudson,

00:20:36like I've

00:20:36said,

00:20:37this is a

00:20:37private

00:20:37matter.

00:20:38Do you

00:20:38really

00:20:39have to

00:20:39step in?

00:20:40If you're

00:20:40going after

00:20:40Dana,

00:20:41you're

00:20:41going

00:20:41through

00:20:41me

00:20:42first.

00:20:42So before

00:20:43you talk

00:20:43tough,

00:20:44maybe ask

00:20:45yourself if

00:20:45you're ready

00:20:46for that.

00:20:46I gives

00:20:47them one

00:20:47last frosty

00:20:48look,

00:20:49then turns

00:20:49away,

00:20:50fingers resting

00:20:51lightly on

00:20:52Christoph's

00:20:52wheel tear as

00:20:53she pushes

00:20:53him out with

00:20:54quiet grace.

00:20:55I was just

00:20:56about to speak

00:20:56to Christopher

00:20:57when someone

00:20:58suddenly burst

00:20:59in.

00:21:00Sir,

00:21:01something

00:21:02happened.

00:21:03Miss

00:21:03Hudson collapsed.

00:21:04It looks like

00:21:05a heart attack.

00:21:06She's unconscious

00:21:06and they've rushed

00:21:07her to the

00:21:07hospital.

00:21:08Get me

00:21:09there.

00:21:10Now!

00:21:16Christoph and

00:21:17I arrive in

00:21:17record time.

00:21:19Evelyn has

00:21:19had a heart

00:21:20defect since

00:21:20birth.

00:21:22She's always

00:21:23been weak.

00:21:28Don't worry

00:21:28too much.

00:21:29Medicine

00:21:30these days

00:21:30is advanced.

00:21:31She'll

00:21:31make it.

00:21:35A stylish

00:21:36woman paces

00:21:37nervously.

00:21:38Celesta

00:21:39Hudson,

00:21:40Christoph's

00:21:40mother.

00:21:41Thank God

00:21:42you're here.

00:21:45Mom,

00:21:46Evelyn has

00:21:46been on

00:21:47medicine,

00:21:47right?

00:21:47How could

00:21:48this happen?

00:21:49I don't

00:21:49know.

00:21:50She was

00:21:51just reading

00:21:51and then

00:21:52she collapsed.

00:21:53At that

00:21:54moment,

00:21:55I was overcome

00:21:55by a strong

00:21:56sense of

00:21:56unease.

00:21:57Things were

00:21:58far worse

00:21:59than I had

00:21:59imagined.

00:22:04it's bad,

00:22:05really bad.

00:22:07She suffered

00:22:07a severe

00:22:08heart attack.

00:22:09Her oxygen

00:22:10levels are

00:22:10critically low

00:22:11and her right

00:22:12atrium's already

00:22:13showing rigidity.

00:22:15Even if we

00:22:16operate now,

00:22:16her chances of

00:22:17making it are

00:22:17under 30%.

00:22:20Honestly,

00:22:20this is beyond

00:22:21what we can

00:22:21handle.

00:22:22Unless the

00:22:23wraith physician

00:22:23steps in,

00:22:24there's almost

00:22:24no chance

00:22:25she'll survive.

00:22:30I walk down

00:22:31the corridor

00:22:32toward the

00:22:32staff locker

00:22:33room.

00:22:33I have to

00:22:34go.

00:22:35Only I can

00:22:36save her.

00:22:40No one even

00:22:40knows what

00:22:41the wraith physician

00:22:42looks like.

00:22:44How are we

00:22:45supposed to

00:22:47find her now?

00:22:48I can't lose

00:22:49Evelyn.

00:22:50I just can't.

00:22:52Christoph said

00:22:53not a word,

00:22:54but his gaze

00:22:54was as sharp

00:22:55as a blade.

00:22:59No need to

00:23:00worry.

00:23:01The wraith

00:23:01physician's

00:23:02already on it.

00:23:02She's inside

00:23:03performing the

00:23:03surgery as we

00:23:04speak.

00:23:05We just have

00:23:05to wait.

00:23:06Christoph frowned,

00:23:07looking confused.

00:23:08Then it suddenly

00:23:09dawned on him.

00:23:10I was gone.

00:23:12Word reaches

00:23:13Madison that

00:23:13the wraith physician

00:23:14is at North

00:23:15Cove General

00:23:16Hospital.

00:23:17Declan!

00:23:18They found

00:23:18her!

00:23:19The wraith physician!

00:23:20She's at North

00:23:21Cove General

00:23:22Hospital!

00:23:22Right now!

00:23:23We have to go!

00:23:24You're serious?

00:23:28That's incredible!

00:23:29Maddie!

00:23:30You're my

00:23:30good luck charm!

00:23:37The surgery

00:23:38drags on

00:23:38for two full hours.

00:23:40I slip out

00:23:41the same

00:23:41quiet way

00:23:42I came in.

00:23:45No way.

00:23:46Could it really

00:23:46be Dana?

00:23:47Was she the

00:23:48wraith physician

00:23:48all along?

00:23:49I freeze for a

00:23:50slip second when

00:23:51I spot Declan

00:23:52and Madison.

00:23:53Dana?

00:23:53What are you

00:23:54doing here?

00:23:54My mind

00:23:55jumps back.

00:23:56He'd shot me

00:23:56down without a

00:23:57second thought

00:23:57when I offered

00:23:58to treat his

00:23:58father.

00:23:59I told him I

00:24:00was the

00:24:00wraith physician.

00:24:01He thought it

00:24:02was a joke.

00:24:02And how exactly

00:24:03is that your

00:24:04problem?

00:24:04I turn my

00:24:05back and start

00:24:06walking off.

00:24:07Why are you

00:24:07here, really?

00:24:08Tell me the

00:24:09truth.

00:24:10Are you the

00:24:11wraith physician?

00:24:12Do you

00:24:13seriously believe

00:24:14someone like

00:24:15me could

00:24:16pretend to be

00:24:16someone as

00:24:17legendary as

00:24:18the wraith

00:24:18physician?

00:24:19Then explain

00:24:20why you're

00:24:20here.

00:24:21And what's

00:24:21with the

00:24:21mask?

00:24:22Why should

00:24:23I explain

00:24:23anything to

00:24:24you?

00:24:25Maybe you

00:24:25showed up

00:24:26because you

00:24:27heard the

00:24:27wraith physician

00:24:28was here and

00:24:29wanted to meet

00:24:30her.

00:24:30But you should

00:24:31probably take

00:24:31off your

00:24:32mask.

00:24:32Wouldn't

00:24:33want anyone

00:24:33to get the

00:24:34wrong idea.

00:24:35Or worse,

00:24:36annoy the

00:24:36real wraith

00:24:37physician.

00:24:38She's just

00:24:39trying to

00:24:39trick everyone

00:24:40and pretend to

00:24:41be the

00:24:41wraith physician.

00:24:42This isn't the

00:24:43first time she's

00:24:44done something

00:24:44like this for

00:24:45attention.

00:24:45No one's stupid

00:24:46enough to fall

00:24:46for your games.

00:24:47The wraith physician

00:24:48isn't someone

00:24:49you can mess

00:24:49with.

00:24:49And if you

00:24:50get in the

00:24:50way of her

00:24:50treating my

00:24:51family, if

00:24:51you cause

00:24:52even the

00:24:52slightest delay,

00:24:53I swear you

00:24:54won't get

00:24:54away with it.

00:24:55She agreed

00:24:55to treat

00:24:56your family?

00:24:57Maddie knows

00:24:57the right

00:24:58people.

00:24:58She already

00:24:59got the

00:24:59wraith physician

00:24:59to help.

00:25:00Dana, look

00:25:01at the

00:25:02difference.

00:25:02What I

00:25:03need is

00:25:03someone smart

00:25:04and supportive.

00:25:06If it

00:25:06helps you,

00:25:07I'll always

00:25:08give it my

00:25:08best.

00:25:09then I

00:25:10hope you

00:25:10two stay

00:25:11happy forever.

00:25:12Just don't

00:25:12come crawling

00:25:13back to ruin

00:25:13someone else's

00:25:14life.

00:25:16Dana, have

00:25:17I been too

00:25:17soft on you?

00:25:19Have you

00:25:20forgotten where

00:25:21you stand?

00:25:23Christoph moves

00:25:24in front of me,

00:25:25shielding me.

00:25:26Even from his

00:25:27wheelchair, his

00:25:28sharp gaze feels

00:25:29like a knife.

00:25:32step away.

00:25:33Mr. Houston,

00:25:35why are you

00:25:36always taking

00:25:36her side?

00:25:39Don't tell me

00:25:40you two are

00:25:40actually...

00:25:41Loud noises

00:25:42come from the

00:25:42other end of

00:25:43the hallway.

00:25:43Where did

00:25:44the wraith

00:25:44physician go?

00:25:45I literally

00:25:45just...

00:25:47Where did

00:25:48the wraith

00:25:48physician go?

00:25:49I literally

00:25:49just saw her.

00:25:51She's my

00:25:52inspiration.

00:25:53I need to

00:25:53meet her at

00:25:53least once.

00:25:54At the head

00:25:55of Ucus

00:25:55wants me a

00:25:55better, I

00:25:56don't care

00:25:56how much

00:25:56it costs.

00:25:57I'm hiring

00:25:58her for our

00:25:58hospital, no

00:25:59matter what.

00:26:00Their greed

00:26:01and frenzy, it

00:26:01makes my blood

00:26:02run cold.

00:26:04I swear, it

00:26:05wasn't me who

00:26:05leaked it.

00:26:09Dr. Lewis,

00:26:10you've been

00:26:11keeping the

00:26:11wraith physician

00:26:12here the whole

00:26:12time without

00:26:13saying a word?

00:26:13Come on, let

00:26:14us meet her.

00:26:15You're too late.

00:26:16She's already

00:26:17left after

00:26:18completing the

00:26:18surgery.

00:26:20She's already

00:26:20gone?

00:26:21I'm afraid so.

00:26:22You should

00:26:23all head back.

00:26:24Oh?

00:26:25You're all

00:26:25looking for the

00:26:26wraith physician

00:26:27too?

00:26:28funny.

00:26:29You might

00:26:30have just

00:26:30missed her.

00:26:33I think I

00:26:34saw someone

00:26:34leaving earlier.

00:26:35Could have

00:26:36been her.

00:26:37Which way

00:26:37did she go?

00:26:38Maybe she's

00:26:38still nearby.

00:26:39Hard to

00:26:39say, but

00:26:40maybe you

00:26:41should ask

00:26:41Dana, the

00:26:42one over

00:26:43there wearing

00:26:43a surgical

00:26:44mask.

00:26:44She was

00:26:45just with

00:26:45her.

00:26:46Something

00:26:46might have

00:26:47happened

00:26:47between

00:26:47them.

00:26:48I mean,

00:26:48the

00:26:48wreath physician

00:26:49left pretty

00:26:49suddenly.

00:26:50All eyes

00:26:50on me like

00:26:51I'm the

00:26:51culprit,

00:26:52didn't

00:26:52she?

00:26:52What did

00:26:52you say

00:26:53to her?

00:26:53Do you

00:26:53have any clue

00:26:54how long

00:26:54we've waited

00:26:55for this

00:26:55moment?

00:26:56Really?

00:26:56You just

00:26:57swallow

00:26:57whatever people

00:26:58feed you?

00:26:58Next time

00:26:59you're saving

00:26:59lives, maybe

00:27:00give your own

00:27:00brain a checkup

00:27:01first.

00:27:01Let's not

00:27:02fight.

00:27:02Maybe I

00:27:02made a

00:27:03mistake.

00:27:03I mean,

00:27:03Dana's not

00:27:04even a doctor,

00:27:05right?

00:27:05But then,

00:27:05why the

00:27:06mask?

00:27:07To filter out

00:27:07the stink of

00:27:08some people's

00:27:08two-faced

00:27:09lies, of

00:27:09course.

00:27:10Dana, I

00:27:10didn't mean

00:27:11anything by

00:27:11it.

00:27:13You could

00:27:13have just

00:27:14corrected me.

00:27:14Did you

00:27:15really have

00:27:15to humiliate

00:27:16me?

00:27:20Dana, that's

00:27:21enough.

00:27:21Do you

00:27:22honestly think

00:27:22everything is

00:27:23about you?

00:27:25It's

00:27:26honestly

00:27:26impressive that

00:27:27someone with

00:27:27your level of

00:27:28intellect has

00:27:29managed to

00:27:29keep Foster

00:27:30Group running

00:27:30this long.

00:27:31Mr. Hudson,

00:27:32why do you

00:27:32keep butting

00:27:32into my

00:27:33issues with

00:27:33Dana?

00:27:34She still

00:27:35owes Maddie

00:27:35an apology.

00:27:36With that

00:27:37prideful,

00:27:38combative attitude

00:27:38of hers,

00:27:39it's no wonder

00:27:39the Wraith

00:27:39position left

00:27:40so suddenly.

00:27:41Honestly,

00:27:41I wouldn't

00:27:42be shocked

00:27:43if Dana

00:27:43was the

00:27:44reason.

00:27:45Please,

00:27:46everyone,

00:27:47calm down.

00:27:48This young

00:27:48lady here had

00:27:49absolutely nothing

00:27:50to do with the

00:27:50Wraith physician

00:27:51leaving.

00:27:51And how

00:27:52would you

00:27:52know?

00:27:54I heard a

00:27:55voice cutting

00:27:56through the

00:27:56noise,

00:27:57unexpected and

00:27:58bright.

00:28:00A stunning

00:28:01blonde struds

00:28:02into sight.

00:28:03Wait,

00:28:03isn't that

00:28:04Nell Mason,

00:28:05the Wraith

00:28:05physician's

00:28:05agent?

00:28:06She might

00:28:06know where

00:28:06the doctor

00:28:07went.

00:28:07Miss Mason,

00:28:08I'm

00:28:08Declan Foster,

00:28:09we've spoken

00:28:09before.

00:28:10Okay,

00:28:10what's all

00:28:11this fuss

00:28:11about?

00:28:12This arrogant

00:28:13woman dared

00:28:13to offend

00:28:14the Wraith

00:28:14physician.

00:28:15Don't be

00:28:16ridiculous,

00:28:17Dana's a

00:28:17close friend

00:28:18of the

00:28:18Wraith physician.

00:28:19Shock ripples

00:28:20through the

00:28:20group.

00:28:21What?

00:28:21You really

00:28:22think I

00:28:22came here

00:28:23just to

00:28:23play games

00:28:23with you?

00:28:24Come on,

00:28:25I need a

00:28:26quick word,

00:28:27let's find

00:28:27somewhere

00:28:28private.

00:28:38I guide

00:28:39I guide

00:28:39Christric's

00:28:39wheelchair

00:28:40towards a

00:28:40bench

00:28:41near the

00:28:41water.

00:28:42Nell

00:28:42tugs

00:28:43my arm

00:28:43and pulls

00:28:44me aside

00:28:44behind a

00:28:45line of

00:28:45trees.

00:28:47Dama,

00:28:48be straight

00:28:48with me.

00:28:48Does Christric

00:28:49have something

00:28:49over your

00:28:50head?

00:28:50No leverage.

00:28:51Just a deal

00:28:51between two

00:28:52adults,

00:28:52that's all.

00:28:53That still

00:28:53doesn't mean

00:28:54you had to

00:28:54marry him.

00:28:55I turn

00:28:56around and

00:28:56meet

00:28:56Christric's

00:28:57gaze.

00:28:58He sits

00:28:58in silence,

00:28:59casually

00:29:00tapping the

00:29:00arm press

00:29:01of his

00:29:01wheelchair

00:29:01in a

00:29:02slow,

00:29:02unbothered

00:29:02rhythm.

00:29:03Miss

00:29:03Mason,

00:29:04would it

00:29:05be possible

00:29:06Wraith

00:29:06physician

00:29:07in private?

00:29:09enough,

00:57:55when I get

00:57:55the chance.

00:57:57Catching

00:57:58the hint,

00:57:58I quietly

00:57:59steer him

00:58:00towards the

00:58:00exit.

00:58:01You and

00:58:02your

00:58:02grandfather?

00:58:11Sorry,

00:58:12I

00:58:12shouldn't

00:58:14shouldn't

00:58:14have

00:58:14asked.

00:58:15I

00:58:16instantly

00:58:16regret

00:58:16mentioning

00:58:17the

00:58:17subject.

00:58:18Don't

00:58:19worry

00:58:19about

00:58:19it.

00:58:20There's

00:58:20nothing

00:58:20private

00:58:21about

00:58:21the

00:58:21Hudson

00:58:21mess.

00:58:22If it

00:58:23weren't

00:58:23for

00:58:23grandma

00:58:23wanting

00:58:24to

00:58:24meet

00:58:24my

00:58:24wife,

00:58:24I'd

00:58:25never

00:58:25have

00:58:25come

00:58:25back.

00:58:26My

00:58:26mother

00:58:26was

00:58:26stunning

00:58:27in her

00:58:27prime.

00:58:28Brilliant,

00:58:29ambitious,

00:58:29and fiercely

00:58:30independent.

00:58:31Then she

00:58:31was forced

00:58:31to marry

00:58:32my father

00:58:32for so-called

00:58:33mutual

00:58:33family

00:58:34interests.

00:58:35Reality

00:58:35boxed her

00:58:36in until

00:58:36she faded

00:58:37away.

00:58:37My

00:58:38father

00:58:38wasn't

00:58:38just a

00:58:38winemaker,

00:58:43eyes slide

00:58:43shut.

00:58:44I

00:58:44noticed

00:58:44the

00:58:45veins

00:58:45straining

00:58:45across

00:58:46his

00:58:46clenched

00:58:46fists.

00:58:47And

00:58:47my

00:58:47grandfather?

00:58:48Rather than

00:58:49protect her,

00:58:50he locked her

00:58:50in a

00:58:50mental

00:58:50hospital to

00:58:51keep the

00:58:51family's

00:58:52secret

00:58:52safe.

00:58:52Her

00:58:53mind

00:58:53began

00:58:53to

00:58:53unravel,

00:58:54and

00:58:55the

00:58:55whole

00:58:55family

00:58:55just

00:58:55looked

00:58:56the

00:58:56other

00:58:56way

00:58:56and

00:58:56pretended

00:58:57she

00:58:57never

00:58:57existed.

00:58:59Gradually,

00:59:01not even

00:59:01the public

00:59:02remember her

00:59:02anymore.

00:59:07Without

00:59:07a word,

00:59:08I reach

00:59:09out and

00:59:09take his

00:59:09hand.

00:59:12He

00:59:13blinks

00:59:13open his

00:59:13eyes,

00:59:14gaze

00:59:14dropping

00:59:15to my

00:59:15slim,

00:59:16pale

00:59:16hand

00:59:16enveloping

00:59:17his.

00:59:21their

00:59:26truth

00:59:29or later,

00:59:29the Hudson's

00:59:30mask will

00:59:30crack and

00:59:31the world
