Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Today is the second anniversary of my marriage to my husband, but he is so drunk in the bar.
00:00:07The VIP door is joined. Just as I'm about to open the door, my hand freezes on the handle.
00:00:13Corrine's flight lands tomorrow.
00:00:16I hear the voices of Sean Cooper, my husband, the president of Cooper Group. Corrine is his ex.
00:00:23Layla hasn't conceived in two years because I never wanted her to bear a Cooper child.
00:00:28I drop my champagne. I bought it for the anniversary, his favorite.
00:00:37I leave the bar in panic and suddenly my phone rings. It is the hospital's message.
00:00:43Mrs. Cooper, congratulations. You are pregnant.
00:00:48I'm crouched by the curb vomiting. My phone lights up, a breaking entertainment alert.
00:00:53The photo is from four years ago, with Sean down on one knee, proposing to Corrine in grand fashion.
00:00:59The next day, the doorbell rings.
00:01:02I open the door. It is Corrine.
00:01:05Sean left his watch at my apartment last night. I thought I'd drop it off.
00:01:09I take the watch engraved on the back as L.S., the wedding gift I gave him.
00:01:16I see her out calmly. The moment the door closes, my nails dig into my palms and silent tears fall.
00:01:24That night, Sean comes home and slides divorce papers across the table.
00:01:33I pick up the pen and sign without reading a single line.
00:01:47I don't respond. I book a flight, delete all my contacts.
00:01:51I leave Fladina with the baby he never wanted.
00:01:54Four years later, Fladina International Airport.
00:01:57I wear a khaki Trent coat, holding Amila's hand in one hand and Andres' in the other, walking out of
00:02:04arrivals.
00:02:05Corrine is back! Sean is picking her up! What a perfect match!
00:02:10Mommy! That man looks just like me!
00:02:13Amelia pulls free from my grip and points at the VIP corridor.
00:02:17I look up. Sean is walking out of the corridor, his arm around Corrine.
00:02:21His gaze sweeps the crowd and collides with mine.
00:02:24His steps falter. Corrine follows his gazes toward me.
00:02:28Mommy, who is that man?
00:02:30No one. Let's go.
00:02:31Four years. I think I'm over him.
00:02:33I drag the kids out of the airport, but my heart is clenched so hard I can barely breathe.
00:02:39Back at the apartment, I lock myself in the bathroom and turn the fossa on full blast to drown out
00:02:46my crying.
00:02:47When I come out, Andres is sitting on the living room floor.
00:02:51My old laptop is open in front of him.
00:02:53Mommy, this is Daddy, isn't he?
00:02:56On the screen are a photo of Sean and me on our wedding day and the divorce papers from four
00:03:00years ago.
00:03:02Andres.
00:03:04Amelia wants to meet him. I'll protect her.
00:03:07The next day, I think they've gone to kindergarten.
00:03:09Then, the teacher calls.
00:03:11They never showed up.
00:03:12At Cooper Group headquarters, Amelia is brought into the CEO's office by Sean's secretary.
00:03:21Daddy.
00:03:23She throws herself into Sean's arms.
00:03:26Sean freezes, looking down at the little girl whose eyes look so much like his.
00:03:30Who are you?
00:03:32Where's your mom?
00:03:34My name is Amelia Carter.
00:03:36My mommy is Layla Carter.
00:03:39Sean's eyes change instantly.
00:03:41Sean had his secretary contact me, but Amilla clung to him and said she was hungry.
00:03:48So he took the children to the downstairs restaurant.
00:03:51Hungry.
00:03:52Sean takes the kids to a revolving restaurant.
00:03:55Daddy, this strawberry cake is so yummy.
00:03:58Try it.
00:04:00Sean pauses, then eats the piece she offers.
00:04:03He reaches out and wipes the cream from her cheek.
00:04:07Clumsy but gentle.
00:04:08Andres stays silent the whole time.
00:04:10But when Sean goes to the restroom, he secretly snaps a photo of his back and sends it to me.
00:04:16Mommy, he seems not as awful as he looks on TV.
00:04:21When I got the secretary's call, my hands were shaking.
00:04:27Josh happened to be nearby, so he drove me straight to the restaurant.
00:04:34He was my childhood friend, and he had helped me take care of the kids all these years.
00:04:39Sean looks at the two of us standing side by side.
00:04:42Something flickers in his eyes like he's been stung.
00:04:45Sean, thank you for taking care of them.
00:04:49So for the past four years, he's been by your side with the children?
00:04:52It's not what you think.
00:04:53I see.
00:04:56He turns and walks away without looking back.
00:04:59I want to run after him to explain, but my feet are rooted to the ground.
00:05:03Sean returns to his office and hurls his suit jacket onto the sofa.
00:05:08He yanks off his tie and dials Theo.
00:05:12Look into someone for me.
00:05:14Layla Carter.
00:05:16Everything from the last four years.
00:05:19Especially the man she's with.
00:05:22Hanging up, he opens a drawer and takes out the wedding ring I left behind four years ago.
00:05:26His thumb traces the engraving inside.
00:05:28He doesn't put it down for a long time.
00:05:32Sean, what's so interesting?
00:05:36Nothing.
00:05:36Sean quickly puts the ring back in the drawer, but she's already seen it.
00:05:42After leaving Sean's office, Corrine's eyes are cold as ice.
00:05:46She dials a number.
00:05:48Layla Carter.
00:05:49I want to know everything about her from the last four years.
00:05:53Josh asks to meet at a cafe.
00:05:55He says it's important.
00:05:56Sean's people are investigating you.
00:05:59I grip my cup, knuckles whitening.
00:06:01And there's another group digging into you too.
00:06:03I haven't figured it out, but not Sean's people.
00:06:06I knew it.
00:06:07Nothing good ever happens when he is involved.
00:06:10Layla.
00:06:11Call me if anything happens.
00:06:15That same night, two investigative reports land on Sean's desk.
00:06:20One is about me.
00:06:21Left Flay Dana four years ago.
00:06:23Gave birth to twins.
00:06:25Raised them alone.
00:06:26The other is about Josh.
00:06:28Owner of a tourism company, my childhood friend.
00:06:33Sean places the two reports side by side and stares at the twins' photo for a long time.
00:06:39They have my eyes.
00:06:41In the bedroom, the three of us are sitting on the bed.
00:06:43Amalia looks up at me, her big eyes full of confusion.
00:06:46Mommy, why doesn't Daddy live with us?
00:06:49All the kids at school have daddies to pick them up.
00:06:53I don't know how to answer.
00:06:54Amalia wanted to know, so I helped her find out.
00:06:57He's holding a crumpled piece of paper, a photo of Sean, downloaded and printed from the internet.
00:07:03I wrap my arms around both of them, tears falling.
00:07:09At the same time, Corrine receives her own report.
00:07:12She opens to the first page and sees the twins' birthdates and blood types.
00:07:16Her fingers begin to tremble.
00:07:19It's four years ago.
00:07:23She makes a call.
00:07:26Father, I need to deal with someone.
00:07:28I'll make it clean.
00:07:30The next day, Sean suddenly appears downstairs at my building.
00:07:33He leans against his car, the streetlight stretching his shadow long.
00:07:38Those two children, are they mine?
00:07:42I clench my fists and say nothing.
00:07:45You were already pregnant when you left Flat Dana.
00:07:47Just then, Josh's car pulls up beside us.
00:07:51He's here to take me to see a real estate agent.
00:07:54Sean looks at Josh, then back on me.
00:07:56He unclenches his fist and steps back.
00:07:59Forget it.
00:08:00He gets in his car and roars away.
00:08:04That weekend, I take the kids to Central Plaza.
00:08:08The kids run off to play, their laughter echoing in the open space.
00:08:12I watch them from a distance, a contented smile on my face.
00:08:16Balloon!
00:08:17Mommy, it's Balloon!
00:08:19Amelia chases a balloon vendor out of my sight.
00:08:22Andres follows her.
00:08:24Amelia!
00:08:25When I catch up, the they're gone.
00:08:30I dial Sean's number like a mad woman.
00:08:32My fingers trembling so hard I can barely hit the buttons.
00:08:37The children are gone!
00:08:40Sean, please help me!
00:08:42On the other end, he bursts out of the meeting room.
00:08:47Theo, pull up the plaza surveillance footage.
00:08:50On screen, a large hand covers Amalia's mouth and drags her into a gray van.
00:08:55Andres lunges forward and bites that hand, but he's yanked in two.
00:09:04I kneel on the ground, clutching that little shoe.
00:09:11It's all my fault.
00:09:13At the same moment, Coren's phone lights up.
00:09:15It's an encrypted message.
00:09:17It says, secured.
00:09:19Inside an abandoned factory, my son is holding his crying sister tight with his tiny hands.
00:09:24Andres, I'm scared.
00:09:25I want mommy.
00:09:29Don't cry.
00:09:30I'll get you out.
00:09:32His eyes scan everywhere calmly.
00:09:42Yeah, both brats are here.
00:09:45More money, or I'll slit their throats.
00:09:55Now.
00:10:09Amelia squeezes through first.
00:10:12Then him.
00:10:16Two small figures vanish into the night.
00:10:26As the kidnapper returns, he sees nothing but an empty room.
00:10:31Damn it!
00:10:32The brats escaped!
00:10:35And at the same time, Coren's phone lights up.
00:10:43Escaped?
00:10:44Useless idiots.
00:10:45When Sean and I reach the industrial district, the kidnappers are gone.
00:10:53The warehouse is empty.
00:10:56Amalia.
00:10:58Andres.
00:10:59Mommy's too late.
00:11:01Wait.
00:11:02Look at the floor.
00:11:04He points at a trail of small footprints leading toward the wasteland behind the hair house.
00:11:08They escaped.
00:11:10Layla, they're alive.
00:11:12Come with me.
00:11:14I run after him like a mad woman.
00:11:20Andres!
00:11:22Amelia!
00:11:23I scream their names as I run, my voice so hoarse it barely makes a sound.
00:11:33Andres!
00:11:35I rush towards the sound.
00:11:37Amelia is huddled in Andres' arms.
00:11:39And my son has a long, bloody gash on his arm.
00:11:44His entire sleeve is soaked red.
00:11:52Mommy, I told you.
00:11:54I'd protect her.
00:11:56Oh, my God.
00:11:59Andres!
00:11:59Oh, my God.
00:12:02Oh, my God.
00:12:05In the hospital corridor, I rush Andres into the ER.
00:12:10His arm was sliced open by wire during the escape.
00:12:14He needs seven stitches.
00:12:19He doesn't cry once
00:12:25After the doctor finishes, Sean finally walks in
00:12:29And sits by Andres' bed
00:12:32He wants to touch but pulls back his hand
00:12:37You protected your sister
00:12:40You're a hero
00:12:42My son looks directly into his eyes with great seriousness
00:12:47You're my father
00:12:50You should have protected us
00:12:52Andres calls him father for the very first time
00:12:55The word father shatters something in Sean's eyes
00:13:09Sean looks at me
00:13:11Asks for an answer
00:13:17I turn away in silence
00:13:19Sean looks at Andres
00:13:20Makes a solemn, determined promise in a deep voice
00:13:25I will
00:13:26From today on, I won't let anyone hurt you again
00:13:30Andres doesn't answer
00:13:32He turns his face to me
00:13:33Mommy, it hurts
00:13:37I hold him tight
00:13:38And my tears won't stop
00:13:40On the day we're discharged
00:13:43Sean comes to pick us up himself
00:13:52Get in
00:13:55Where?
00:13:56He doesn't answer
00:13:57He drives straight to his mansion
00:13:59The very cage I lived in for two years and fled from four years ago
00:14:04You're staying here
00:14:06At least until we find out who's behind the kidnapping
00:14:09It's not a suggestion
00:14:11It's an order
00:14:13And my children have already chosen him
00:14:25The first night in the villa
00:14:27The kids sleep deeply
00:14:29I sit by the bed and watch them
00:14:31My heart a tangled mess
00:14:34Sean asks me to go to the study
00:14:38He places a stack of documents in front of me
00:14:41DNA test results
00:14:43Birth certificates
00:14:44And our old marriage certificate
00:14:47Andres and Amelia are my children
00:14:49Josh is not the father
00:14:56I close my eyes
00:14:58Don't want to look at their documents
00:15:01Layla
00:15:02You hid them from me
00:15:04For four years
00:15:08Yes
00:15:10But you and Corrine
00:15:14I won't come between you two
00:15:16I turn and walk away
00:15:18I hear him murmur to himself
00:15:30Leela was I wrong four years ago
00:15:34Sean starts coming home on time
00:15:37He builds blocks with Amelia
00:15:39Plays chess with Andres
00:15:41Even learns to braid his daughter's hair
00:15:45Daddy
00:15:46Bows
00:15:47I want more bows
00:15:48Amelia surrenders quickly
00:15:51But Andres keeps his distance
00:15:54He never initiates calling him dad
00:15:57And whenever Sean touches him
00:15:59He instinctively flinches
00:16:00It doesn't matter
00:16:02Sean seems unconcerned
00:16:04But there is sadness in his eyes
00:16:08I've enrolled the kids
00:16:09In the best kindergarten in Fledena
00:16:11I know he's trying to be a good father
00:16:13He wants to make up
00:16:15For those four empty years
00:16:18I'll go check out the school tomorrow
00:16:19The next day
00:16:21I run into Corrine
00:16:22At the school gate
00:16:27She stands across the street
00:16:29Smiling at me
00:16:35Layla
00:16:36Long time no see
00:16:38Corrine doesn't answer
00:16:40She stands up and grabs her purse
00:16:43Stay away from Sean
00:16:45For your children's sake
00:16:47She leaves
00:16:48I sit there
00:16:50Fingers frozen
00:16:54When I get home
00:16:55Sean looks up at me
00:16:57Frowning
00:16:58What's wrong?
00:17:00Nothing
00:17:03I can't tell him
00:17:04Not yet
00:17:05That night
00:17:06After tucking the kids in
00:17:08I open my laptop
00:17:10With trembling fingers
00:17:12I type
00:17:13Cooper car crash
00:17:15An old report pops up
00:17:16Cooper couple killed in crash
00:17:18Only son Sean Cooper
00:17:20In's entire estate
00:17:21I read out the title
00:17:23Staring at the photo
00:17:24That shows a teenage Sean
00:17:25At the funeral
00:17:26His eyes are hollow
00:17:27I had no idea
00:17:29About this at all
00:17:30I send the files to Josh
00:17:32I need to know the truth
00:17:33No matter how cruel it is
00:17:42Three days later
00:17:44He asks to meet
00:17:45His expression is more serious
00:17:47Than I've ever seen
00:17:49Layla
00:17:50I can only trace the crash
00:17:51To a transnational crime syndicate
00:17:53Called Sigma
00:17:56His expression is more serious
00:17:58Than I've ever seen
00:17:59It's too dangerous
00:18:00For the kids' safety
00:18:01You need to leave Sean
00:18:02As soon as possible
00:18:06I return home in a daze
00:18:13I push open the door
00:18:15And see Sean
00:18:16And see Sean is sitting
00:18:16On the living room floor
00:18:18Teaching Andres chess
00:18:21Andres makes a move
00:18:22Then he looks up
00:18:23At Sean
00:18:25Checkmate
00:18:26Dad
00:18:28Andres calls him dad
00:18:29For the first time
00:18:31He initiates it
00:18:33Layla
00:18:34He called me dad
00:18:38Sean scoops Andres up
00:18:40And buries his face
00:18:41In the child's small shoulder
00:18:48Watching this
00:18:49My heart is torn in two
00:18:52What on earth am I supposed to do?
00:18:58That night
00:18:58Sean knocks on my door
00:19:03Layla
00:19:04Tomorrow
00:19:05Come with me to Cooper Manor
00:19:07Grandpa wants to meet you and the children
00:19:09Garrett Cooper
00:19:10The old man who arranged our marriage
00:19:12And never once blamed me after the divorce
00:19:15I'm terrified
00:19:16After four years
00:19:18How do I face him?
00:19:23But the moment Garrett sees Amelia and Andres
00:19:27Tears well up in his cloudy old eyes
00:19:29Then he looks at me
00:19:31And asks me to follow him to the study alone
00:19:35My palms are soaked
00:19:40Layla, my child
00:19:41Please sit down
00:19:43Is he going to talk about the kids?
00:19:46Or demand to know why I hid them for four years?
00:19:49He pulls a document from his drawer
00:19:51And slides it across the desk towards me
00:19:53Sign it
00:19:55Property transfer?
00:19:56And five percent of Cooper Group shares?
00:20:01I can't
00:20:02This is too much
00:20:03This is what I owe you
00:20:05Take it
00:20:06Garrett holds my hand
00:20:07Eyes reddening
00:20:09It's not for you
00:20:10It's so this old man can go in peace
00:20:12That boy, Sean, owes you far too much
00:20:16I leave the study
00:20:20Amelia waits for me in the hallway
00:20:23She pulls me into a room
00:20:26Mommy, Daddy smiled so happily when he was little
00:20:30Amelia points at a family portrait on the wall
00:20:32A young Sean standing between a couple
00:20:35Smiling without a care in the world
00:20:37Mommy, why doesn't he smile like that now?
00:20:41What I remember is another photo
00:20:43The one from that old news article I found online
00:20:47The teenage boy in black at the funeral
00:20:52How did he survive all these years, all alone?
00:20:56A crazy thought takes hold of me
00:21:04While Sean is out, I enter his study
00:21:14In the bottom drawer, I find a locked iron box
00:21:17I try the kids' birthdays
00:21:20Amalina's
00:21:20Andre's
00:21:21None of them work
00:21:27Andre's stand at the door of the study
00:21:29Looking at me calmly
00:21:31The password is Dad's birthday
00:21:33I already tried it
00:21:41I open the box, hands trembling
00:21:48These are...
00:21:49Inside are thick investigation files
00:21:52Crime scene photos from the crash
00:21:54And a yellowed note
00:21:55It bears a name, Steph Griffiths
00:21:58And next to it, two words, Sigma Group
00:22:02I flip the note over
00:22:05On the back is another name
00:22:07A name I know all too well
00:22:09Corinne Evans
00:22:12I put the box back
00:22:13My fingers ice cold
00:22:15My whole body trembling
00:22:19Corinne
00:22:23Was she behind the kidnapping of Amelia and Andres?
00:22:30You've known all along that something was wrong with Corinne?
00:22:35Yes
00:22:37I can't tell you these things because the less you know, the safer it will be for you
00:22:47All these years, you and she
00:22:49That's why I had to stay involved with her
00:22:54Stay involved
00:22:56My heart clenches painfully
00:22:59That night, Sean tells me everything
00:23:04Twelve years ago
00:23:05My parents didn't die in an ordinary crash
00:23:09It was Sigma Group
00:23:11He pauses for a moment
00:23:12His voice carrying a deep sense of sadness
00:23:15The Cooper family was in their way
00:23:17So they silenced them
00:23:19Corinne's adoptive father, Hawk
00:23:21Is the one who tampered with my parents' car
00:23:23So you pretended to still have feelings for her
00:23:26So you could find the mastermind, Steph Griffiths?
00:23:29Yes
00:23:32Then when you divorced me
00:23:34Was it also because
00:23:35I thought
00:23:37If I pushed you away, you'd be safe
00:23:41I thought you didn't love me
00:23:43But to protect me
00:23:45He pushed me out of his world
00:23:47And carried it all alone for four years
00:23:49Sean says nothing
00:23:50And holds me in his arms
00:24:04Sean tells me
00:24:05Corinne is the venomous snake
00:24:06That Hawk planted by his side
00:24:09I make a decision
00:24:11I'll get close to Corinne myself
00:24:13The next day
00:24:14I ask her out for coffee
00:24:23Sean has been so distracted lately
00:24:26Does he still have feelings for you?
00:24:29I do notice that Corinne's eyes light up for a second
00:24:32Then turn guardiaid
00:24:36What do you mean?
00:24:37I pretend to be sad
00:24:39With a few tears forming at the corners of my eyes
00:24:44The one in his heart was never me
00:24:46You should win him back
00:24:48I'm only living with him because of the kids
00:24:50She stares at me for a long time before finally smiling
00:24:53There's a condescending satisfaction in that smile
00:24:56Layla, you're more sensible than I expected
00:25:03I lift my coffee cup
00:25:06My hands are shaking
00:25:08But my face is smiling
00:25:10The fish has taken the bait
00:25:12Andres becomes my agent
00:25:15He doesn't know what's really happening
00:25:17But he silently memorizes every stranger who comes to the house
00:25:21And sketches their faces with his astonishing drawing skills
00:25:26Mom, this man has been here three times
00:25:29He hands me a sketch
00:25:33The man in the drawing
00:25:35Has a fierce glares
00:25:38He always comes here when dad's not home
00:25:41With that lady named Corinne
00:25:43It's the man from the photo Theo showed me
00:25:46Steph's right-hand man, Hawk
00:25:48Mom, is that man a bad guy?
00:25:54Yes
00:25:58But don't be scared
00:26:00Mom will protect you
00:26:02I'm not scared
00:26:04I'll protect you and Amelia
00:26:06I hug Andreas tight
00:26:08Proud and terrified at once
00:26:12My son is using his pencil to spy on my enemies for me
00:26:17But I don't even know how to protect him
00:26:20Corinne starts treating me like an ally
00:26:22She invites me to a private party
00:26:25Layla, you're so lucky
00:26:27My father is coming today too
00:26:29He will definitely like you
00:26:35I walk into the private room wearing the dress she gave me
00:26:41A middle-aged man sits in the host's seat
00:26:44The exact face from Andres' sketch
00:26:48So you're Sean's ex-wife?
00:26:52He looks me up and down
00:26:58Yes
00:26:59Your son draws well
00:27:01He's got talent
00:27:08Next time he sketches me
00:27:10Tell him
00:27:12Make me look more handsome
00:27:13In that instant
00:27:15My blood freezes
00:27:16They've seen Andres' drawings
00:27:21Moreover, they never intended to let us go
00:27:26I burst into the house
00:27:28And clutch Andres tightly in my arms
00:27:30Trembling uncontrollably
00:27:33Mommy, what's wrong?
00:27:34Your hands are so cold
00:27:35Nothing, baby
00:27:37Mommy just missed you
00:27:39Sean pushes the door open
00:27:41Takes one look at my face
00:27:43And rushes over
00:27:46What happened?
00:27:47You look like you've seen a ghost
00:27:50Hawk knows Andres drew him
00:27:52Sean's face turns ashen
00:27:54He punches the wall
00:27:56They've been watching this house
00:27:58Since the first day you moved in
00:28:00That night, he installs alarms on every window himself
00:28:06Then presses a small pistol into my hand
00:28:13If I'm not here, you use it
00:28:14Aim for the chest
00:28:16Pull the trigger
00:28:20Lila, promise me
00:28:23I promise
00:28:27I hold that gun all night
00:28:31Unable to sleep
00:28:35Theo sends word
00:28:36Hawk will personally escort a shipment out of Flaydena Harbor in three days
00:28:43I need you to stay at the hotel near the harbor
00:28:45Tell me the moment you see them
00:28:47I can do more
00:28:48Let me help you
00:28:51Lila
00:28:52Knowing you're there is the only way I can focus
00:28:57Trust me
00:29:01That night, I stand at the hotel window
00:29:03Staring through binoculars at the dock
00:29:11The moment Corrine appears
00:29:13Arm in arm with Hawk
00:29:14I press the shatter
00:29:18Target's in sight
00:29:28When the lights come back on
00:29:30Hawk is pinned to the ground
00:29:35But Corrine
00:29:36She's vanished
00:29:40Sean bursts into the hotel room
00:29:43Covered in blood
00:29:44Are you okay?
00:29:46Did she come here?
00:29:47I'm fine
00:29:48Where's Corrine?
00:29:54She ran
00:29:58But she won't get far
00:30:00Corrine has vanished
00:30:01I've never seen Sean's face so grim
00:30:04Sean
00:30:05Corrine knows too much and hates you too much
00:30:08Your whole family are in danger
00:30:10That night, Sean makes a decision
00:30:13We move to Cooper Manor
00:30:15Garrett activates every security asset on the estate
00:30:18The gates are guarded around the clock
00:30:24Mommy
00:30:25Why can't we go back to Daddy's house?
00:30:29I crouch down and hold Amelia in my arms
00:30:32I don't know how to answer
00:30:34Three days later
00:30:36The doorbell rings
00:30:38Corrine storms into Cooper Manor in a loose white dress
00:30:41Her belly thrust forward
00:30:44I'm pregnant with Sean's baby
00:30:46Here's the prenatal report
00:30:48Let everyone see it
00:30:50Everyone freezes
00:30:51Garrett sits in his wheelchair
00:30:54Face ashen
00:30:56When Corrine sees Sean walking down from upstairs
00:30:59She bursts into tears immediately
00:31:01Sean, this is your child
00:31:03You can't do this to me
00:31:05She clutches her belly
00:31:06Tears streaming down her face
00:31:08Sean walks up to her
00:31:10And takes the report from her hand
00:31:12Your forgery skills haven't improved one bit in four years
00:31:17What did you say?
00:31:19This hospital closed three months ago
00:31:22Corrine stands still
00:31:24Her expression frozen
00:31:25Police swarm in and pin her to the ground
00:31:29She looks back at me as she's dragged away
00:31:32Leela! You think you've won?
00:31:34You don't know anything!
00:31:36What is she talking about?
00:31:38I stare at Sean's back
00:31:39Waiting for his answer
00:31:42But he says nothing
00:31:44Corrine requests to see me during interrogation
00:31:46Only me
00:31:50No
00:31:51Too dangerous
00:31:52You can't go
00:31:57I hesitate all day
00:32:01In the end, I go
00:32:09She has answers I need
00:32:16You finally came
00:32:17I knew you would
00:32:19Through the glass
00:32:21She looks haggard
00:32:22But her eyes are still sharp as knives
00:32:28What do you want to say?
00:32:31Sean chased you for four years
00:32:32Not for you
00:32:33For Garrett Cooper's inheritance
00:32:40You're lying
00:32:44Those two children
00:32:45You think they're precious to him?
00:32:47No
00:32:47They're his bargaining chairs
00:32:52You are insane
00:32:54Am I?
00:32:56Then ask him
00:32:57Why he had to marry
00:32:59And have children before 35
00:33:01Why?
00:33:03Why?
00:33:04Why he married you?
00:33:07I hang up and walk away
00:33:17Behind me
00:33:19Her hysterical laughter echoes
00:33:21The Sigma group trail suddenly goes cold
00:33:24Theo's investigation shows that after Hawk's arrest
00:33:27The entire organization hit pause
00:33:29All activities ceased
00:33:31All communications cut
00:33:34They're waiting
00:33:37Waiting for what?
00:33:41Waiting for us to let our guard down
00:33:44Then they'll strike
00:33:45But
00:33:47He looks at me
00:33:50I don't go any further
00:33:52That night
00:33:53Sean suddenly announces
00:33:55He's taking me and the kids abroad
00:33:57There's
00:33:58You arranged this awfully fast
00:34:00It's been in the works
00:34:03Flights
00:34:04Hotel
00:34:04Itinerary
00:34:07Everything is ready
00:34:17Sean
00:34:18What are you hiding from me?
00:34:23The resort is beautiful
00:34:25The kids chase waves on the beach
00:34:28Sean relaxes under an umbrella
00:34:30A rare sight
00:34:42I look at Sean
00:34:43He is just as handsome
00:34:44As he was four years ago
00:34:48He suddenly opens his eyes
00:34:50And catches me staring
00:34:57You're looking at me
00:34:58You're looking at me
00:34:59No, I'm not
00:35:05Lila?
00:35:09He reaches out and pulls me down beside him
00:35:12Lila
00:35:14When this is all over
00:35:15Can we start again?
00:35:18Start again?
00:35:20What do you mean?
00:35:23Like when we first got married
00:35:25No secrets
00:35:26No schemes
00:35:27Just you and me
00:35:29And the kids
00:35:33My heart skips a beat
00:35:36But Karain's words flood back
00:35:50On the third day
00:35:51Sean gets a phone call
00:35:53I need to take the knee
00:35:54Forking I'm bad
00:35:56His face changes instantly
00:36:06On the third day of vacation
00:36:09Sean gets a phone call
00:36:18He walks away and talks for a long time
00:36:21When he comes back
00:36:23He looks like his soul
00:36:24Has been drained
00:36:25Theo found Steph's trail
00:36:27I have to go back to Fladina
00:36:28Immediately
00:36:32We're going back with you
00:36:34No
00:36:35You and the kids stay here
00:36:36It's safe
00:36:40Safe?
00:36:41No place is safe without you
00:36:52He looks at me for a long time
00:36:54Then finally nods
00:37:01That night we board a flight back
00:37:04A mania falls asleep in my arms
00:37:06Andres leans against my shoulder
00:37:14Sean stares out the window
00:37:16The entire way
00:37:17His hands clenched into fists
00:37:30I don't know what he's thinking
00:37:32But I know
00:37:33The storm is coming
00:37:37Third day back in Fladina
00:37:39The kids and I walk out of the supermarket
00:37:47The doors fly open
00:37:49Two men charge out
00:37:51Before I can scream
00:37:52A hand clamps over my mouth
00:37:54And drags me into the car
00:38:06Don't be scared
00:38:07Amelia
00:38:07Don't be scared
00:38:10The car speeds away
00:38:12My phone is snatched
00:38:13And thrown out the window
00:38:21Amelia sobs in terror
00:38:23Andres holds her tight
00:38:24But his eyes are locked
00:38:26On the kidnappers in front
00:38:29There are two kidnappers
00:38:30One of the person's eyes
00:38:32Has a scar at the corner
00:38:33Mrs. Cooper
00:38:35Someone wants to see you
00:38:37Been waiting a long time
00:38:41We're taken to an abandoned factory
00:38:54The one-eyed man
00:38:55Shoves me into an office alone
00:38:57Someone is sitting inside
00:39:01Steph Griffiths
00:39:02I recognize him instantly
00:39:08Layla Carter
00:39:10Or should I call you Mrs. Cooper
00:39:15What do you want?
00:39:18Relax
00:39:18I just want to chat
00:39:21About your husband
00:39:24About the truth
00:39:25He's been chasing
00:39:26For twelve years
00:39:28You killed his parents
00:39:33Is that what he told you?
00:39:35He stands up
00:39:36And walks slowly to the window
00:39:37His back to me
00:39:39Sean thinks I killed his parents
00:39:42He's chased me for twelve years
00:39:44Hated me for twelve years
00:39:46He turns to look at me
00:39:48His eyes are still sharp as knives
00:39:50But the truth is
00:39:53It was his own father
00:39:55Who put the whole family
00:39:57On the road to death
00:40:00Steph tells me a completely different story
00:40:06Twelve years ago
00:40:07Sean's father wasn't just the head of Cooper Group
00:40:11He was also a secret partner of Sigma Group
00:40:14You think I'll believe you?
00:40:21Believe it or not
00:40:22We worked together for ten full years
00:40:25You're lying
00:40:26Why would he work with you?
00:40:28Why?
00:40:29Because the Cooper family's first fortune
00:40:31Was built with Sigma money
00:40:32From Garrett's generation
00:40:34Dirty Sigma blood
00:40:35Has run through the Cooper veins
00:40:36He lights a cigar
00:40:37Smoke curling in the dim room
00:40:43Twelve years ago
00:40:44Your husband's father wanted out
00:40:46He threatened to expose everything
00:40:48To drag all of Sigma down with him
00:40:51So you killed him?
00:40:55He turns and looks at me
00:40:57A cruel smile curling on his lips
00:41:00I had to
00:41:02Steph's words pour over me like ice water
00:41:05My whole body goes cold
00:41:07The crash wasn't my doing
00:41:10Hawk acted on his own
00:41:11I only wanted to warn him
00:41:14He pretends to be sad
00:41:16But can't hide the smile on his lips
00:41:20Do you know why Sean married you?
00:41:22What are you trying to say?
00:41:24Garrett's will is crystal clear
00:41:27Sean must marry and have children before thirty-five
00:41:30Or everything goes to charity
00:41:33You're not his wife
00:41:35You're his ticket
00:41:37My nails dig into my palms
00:41:39Blood trickling through my fingers
00:41:44Corinne said the exact same thing
00:41:47Leila
00:41:48Leila
00:41:49When this is all over
00:41:50Can we start again?
00:41:51Leila can't know about the will
00:41:53I'll handle this
00:41:54Grandpa's health is declining
00:41:56He can't take any more stress
00:41:57In all of this
00:41:58What is real?
00:42:02I'm dragged back to the room
00:42:04Where the kids are held
00:42:11Andres rushes over
00:42:13And wraps his arms around my waist
00:42:14Mommy
00:42:16Your hand is bleeding
00:42:20Mommy's fine
00:42:21Don't be scared
00:42:22I held both kids close
00:42:24Steph's word and Karen's overlap
00:42:26My mind in chaos
00:42:29Mom
00:42:30What did that man tell you?
00:42:33Nothing
00:42:36I kiss Andres on the forehead
00:42:40Mommy's here
00:42:42Daddy will come save us
00:42:44Whatever Sean's reasons were for marrying me
00:42:46His love for these kids is real
00:42:49I believe in daddy
00:42:53I look at my son's determined eyes
00:42:55And my tears nearly fall
00:42:58Sean and his men storm in late that night
00:43:01I shield the kids beneath me
00:43:03Huddled in the corner
00:43:05The door is kicked open
00:43:06Gunfire
00:43:07Shouting
00:43:08And footsteps erupt all at once
00:43:14Leila!
00:43:21We're here
00:43:22Sean is covered in blood
00:43:24His eyes frantically searching the room
00:43:26Until they land on me
00:43:28I'm sorry
00:43:29I'm so late
00:43:31He reaches out
00:43:32His fingers trembling as they touch my face
00:43:36I see his eyes turning red
00:43:39I take his hand
00:43:43You're here
00:43:44That's all that matters
00:43:46He lowers his head
00:43:47Pressing his forehead against Amalia's hand
00:43:49I feel it
00:43:50His tears
00:43:52It's the first time I've ever seen him cry
00:43:57I thought I was gonna lose you
00:43:59Steph escaped
00:44:00Sean didn't chase him
00:44:02He brought us home
00:44:03He personally bathed Andres and Amalia
00:44:05Changed their clothes
00:44:06And put them to bed
00:44:07Daddy
00:44:08Don't go away again
00:44:10Okay?
00:44:10Okay
00:44:11Daddy's not going anywhere ever again
00:44:13This man just went through a gunfight
00:44:15Has entreated wounds
00:44:16And he's crouching beside a child's bed
00:44:18Tucking in his daughter
00:44:19Amelia
00:44:20Sweet dreams
00:44:21Daddy's here
00:44:22After the kids are asleep
00:44:24He comes out
00:44:25I kneel down and pull out the first kit to treat his wounds
00:44:37Did Steph say something to you?
00:44:39I lower my eyes and don't answer
00:44:43Leela, look at me
00:44:45Whatever he said, let me explain
00:44:48He said I'm nothing but your ticket
00:44:53Garrett's will?
00:44:54Did you marry me because of it?
00:45:01Yes
00:45:03Sean lets go of my hand and takes a deep breath
00:45:08The will is real
00:45:10I had to marry and have children before 35
00:45:15But that was two years ago
00:45:17And now?
00:45:19But I stopped you at the airport
00:45:21It wasn't because of the will
00:45:24It was because I couldn't lose you again
00:45:28It was because of you
00:45:30When you first met Amelia and Andres
00:45:33You had no idea they were yours
00:45:34I didn't know
00:45:39But I felt this inexplicable pull towards them
00:45:43I wanted to protect them
00:45:44He presses my hand against his chest
00:45:47I feel his heartbeat
00:45:50Strong and fast
00:45:53You don't have to believe me
00:45:54But this
00:45:56Every beat
00:45:58Is for you
00:46:00He pulls me into his arms
00:46:09His chin rests on top of my head
00:46:18Theo rushes to the manor overnight
00:46:21His expression is graver than I've ever seen
00:46:25Steph didn't go far
00:46:26He's hiding in downtown Fladena
00:46:27In a luxury apartment directly across from Cooper Group headquarters
00:46:32The most dangerous place
00:46:34Is the safest
00:46:37It gets worse
00:46:44Through shell companies and offshore accounts
00:46:46He's secretly acquired 15% of Cooper Group shares
00:46:49Over the past three years
00:46:5115%?
00:46:53He's now the third largest shareholder
00:46:55Behind only Sean and Garrett
00:46:58Theo's hand trembles
00:47:00As he hands over the intel
00:47:09Sean gets a phone call
00:47:11Says nothing the entire time
00:47:13His face turning pale
00:47:20Who was that?
00:47:24Steph
00:47:25What did he say?
00:47:33Tomorrow at 10am
00:47:35Emergency shareholder meeting
00:47:39He's going to remove me
00:47:41I watch as Sean turns on the TV
00:47:44I watch as Sean turns on the TV
00:47:45Steph's face appears on the screen
00:47:49His smiling face fills the screen
00:47:51Stephen Griffiths
00:47:53A shareholder of the Cooper Group
00:47:54Has proposed to remove the current CEO
00:47:57It's already on the news
00:47:57Sean Cooper
00:47:58This proposal has received support from several shareholders
00:48:02Sean's expression becomes serious
00:48:07I'm going with you tomorrow
00:48:09No
00:48:10It's too dangerous
00:48:12Sean, I'm not the kind of wife who hides in the back
00:48:15I'm Leila Carter
00:48:17Your woman
00:48:18Mother of your children
00:48:24He looks at me for a long time
00:48:26Then finally nods
00:48:29Okay
00:48:31Tomorrow you stand by my side
00:48:32Sean holds my hand
00:48:34His palm is warm
00:48:36My heart is pounding
00:48:38But I'm not afraid anymore
00:48:40The day of the shareholder meeting
00:48:42I drop the kids off at Garrett's first
00:48:44Mommy, I'll take care of Amelia
00:48:46You and Daddy come back safe
00:48:48Mommy promises
00:48:49We'll come back
00:48:51Mommy, will Daddy beat the bad guy?
00:48:54Yes
00:48:54Daddy will
00:48:56I arrive at Cooper Group
00:48:58The moment I step into the lobby
00:49:00I see him
00:49:02Steph
00:49:04Mrs. Cooper
00:49:06What a coincidence
00:49:07You look beautiful today
00:49:09I look calm on the surface
00:49:10But I'm shaking with fear inside
00:49:14I knew you'd be here
00:49:15He leans close to my ear
00:49:18And lowers his voice
00:49:19Are you really comfortable
00:49:21Leaving your two children with Garrett?
00:49:25What are you trying to say?
00:49:29That old man is practically dead himself
00:49:32Who can he protect?
00:49:34Steph walks away
00:49:36I call Garrett with shaking hands
00:49:46Garrett, are the kids okay?
00:49:48They're playing in the garden
00:49:49Andres is teaching Amalia the names of flowers
00:49:54What's wrong?
00:49:56Nothing
00:49:57Tell security to watch the gates
00:49:59No one in or out
00:50:02Already done, don't worry
00:50:05I hang up
00:50:06Sean comes to my side
00:50:10I tell him what Steph said
00:50:15I won't let him get away
00:50:17His voice sounds like it's squeezed through gritted teeth
00:50:20We walk into the conference room
00:50:22Steph, if he's already seated
00:50:24Palared suit
00:50:26Hair perfectly styled
00:50:27Like a true business mogul
00:50:29Seeing us
00:50:30He raises his coffee cup
00:50:33Sean
00:50:34Long time no see
00:50:35Steph
00:50:38After today
00:50:39This office won't be yours anymore
00:50:42I've prepared cardboard boxes for you
00:50:48Sean sits down across from him
00:50:50Expressionless
00:50:51Try me
00:50:57Steph smiles maliciously
00:50:59Your father was not as excellent as you back then
00:51:03But I have money
00:51:09Over the past five years
00:51:11Sean Cooper has turned Cooper Group into his private army
00:51:16The screen explodes with photos
00:51:18Armed men
00:51:19Overseas safe houses
00:51:21Piles of cash
00:51:22Mercenaries
00:51:24Brewery
00:51:24Illegal surveillance
00:51:26Every charge is enough to put him behind bars
00:51:28The rumor erupts
00:51:30A shareholder stands up
00:51:32Another slams their documents down
00:51:34Steph leans back in his chair
00:51:37Taking a leisurely sip of coffee
00:51:42The room falls dead silent
00:51:45Sean confess
00:51:48I'll let you keep some dignity
00:51:49Every shareholder stares at Sean
00:51:56Sean stands up
00:51:59He doesn't look at the shareholders
00:52:01He looks straight at Steph
00:52:08Fellow shareholders
00:52:09Every word Mr. Steph Griffiths has said is true
00:52:12The room erupts
00:52:16I did use group resources to hunt Sigma Group
00:52:18Because it's a transnational criminal organization
00:52:22Has harmed many people
00:52:23And one of its founders
00:52:26Is sitting right here in front of you
00:52:28Steph gives a cold laugh and remains silent
00:52:31Twelve years ago
00:52:32He orchestrated my parents' murder
00:52:34Three years ago
00:52:35He tried to infiltrate Cooper Group
00:52:37Through Corrine Evans
00:52:38Last week
00:52:39He kidnapped my wife and children
00:52:40Where's your proof?
00:52:41You have no proof!
00:52:43Some pull out phones to take pictures
00:52:45Call security!
00:52:48The room is in complete chaos
00:52:54Sean turns and walks toward the conference room door
00:53:01Sean
00:53:02Did your father also teach you to slander people?
00:53:05I, Steph, have always been upstanding
00:53:07Everyone here can attest to that
00:53:09You say I'm a criminal?
00:53:10Where's the proof?
00:53:11If you have none, get out of this conference room
00:53:16The room buzzes with murmurs
00:53:18Look, he's running away because his lies failed
00:53:22The men of the Cooper family are all cowards
00:53:29Sean says nothing
00:53:31He keeps walking toward the door
00:53:36Sean's hand grips the door handle
00:53:38He glances back at Steph
00:53:39You want proof?
00:53:44The proof I have is more than enough for the police
00:53:48He yanks the door open
00:53:51Steph's face goes white instantly
00:53:53Outside, the hallway is packed with police officers
00:53:59Police swarm in and pin Steph down on the conference table
00:54:04His face is pressed against the cold surface
00:54:10Suddenly, he starts laughing
00:54:12He strains to turn his head
00:54:15And stares daggers at me
00:54:16Leela Carter
00:54:18Do you know why Sean has been chasing the truth for 12 years?
00:54:22What are you trying to say?
00:54:24It's not just for revenge
00:54:26It's because Garrett Cooper made a will
00:54:29My heart clenches violently
00:54:31If Sean can't uncover the truth of his parents' deaths
00:54:35And restore the family's separation before 35
00:54:37All Cooper Group herefers will automatically transfer to a secret trust fund
00:54:41And the sole beneficiary of that fund
00:54:44Is Sigma Group's legacy inheritance program
00:54:47In other words, me
00:54:54Everyone in the room freezes
00:54:56Steph is pinned by the police but still struggling
00:54:59Words spilling from his mouth without stopping
00:55:01The Cooper family fortune has been tainted with Sigma blood from the very beginning
00:55:06Sean's father didn't want to leave the organization
00:55:09He wanted to take it over completely
00:55:11Garrett knew everything
00:55:12That's why he forced Sean to marry you
00:55:14His eyes are like two flames
00:55:16Burning into me until there's nowhere to hide
00:55:18To use your clean background
00:55:20To whitewash the Cooper bloodline
00:55:23You think you're his wife?
00:55:24You're his cover-up!
00:55:25I'm nailed to the spot by his words
00:55:27Sean's face is white as paper
00:55:29He says nothing
00:55:31The police drag Steph out
00:55:34I stand up
00:55:36Walk out of the conference room
00:55:39Into the elevator
00:55:43Out of Cooper Group headquarters
00:55:46Sean watches my back
00:55:52He doesn't follow
00:55:54I sit on a bench in Central Park for the entire afternoon
00:55:59When Sean finds me
00:56:00It's already dark
00:56:06Leela, I can explain
00:56:09He doesn't sit beside me
00:56:12He crouches in front of me like a man awaiting judgment
00:56:18I look at him
00:56:20This man I've loved for so many years
00:56:23His face looks tired and fragile under the streetlight
00:56:26How much of what Steph said is true?
00:56:33The will is real
00:56:35But marrying you
00:56:38His phone suddenly rings
00:56:39He answers it
00:56:41His face changes instantly
00:56:44Grandpa is critically ill
00:56:46We have to go back now
00:56:48I stand up and run with him to the car
00:56:55Garrett's the only person in that family
00:56:57Who has ever been truly kind to me
00:56:59I will stay by his side
00:57:00We arrive at Garrett's bedside
00:57:05The once vigorous old man
00:57:07Is now shrunken in bed
00:57:09Like a withered leaf
00:57:15Sean, leave
00:57:16I need to speak with Leela alone
00:57:23Sean leaves the room
00:57:28Leela
00:57:28Sean marrying you
00:57:30It was my idea
00:57:32I forced him
00:57:33Garrett pulls a letter from under his pillow
00:57:36And presses it into my hand
00:57:37My heart clenches
00:57:39After his parents died
00:57:40He turned himself into an island
00:57:42I thought if a kind, innocent girl
00:57:44Came into his life
00:57:45He might learn to love again
00:57:46But I never expected him to truly fall for you
00:57:49Not because of me, but because of you
00:57:51My tears fall
00:57:52I open the letter
00:57:53It's his revised will
00:57:55It says
00:57:56Leela and Sean
00:57:58Shall jointly decide
00:57:59All matters of the Cooper family
00:58:01Watch over him for me
00:58:03I promise
00:58:06On the day of the funeral
00:58:08Snow falls heavily
00:58:11The Cooper family cemetery
00:58:12Is filled with people dressed in black
00:58:16Sean stands before the gravestone
00:58:18In a black coat
00:58:19Snow covering his hair and shoulders
00:58:22Grandpa carried too much for this family
00:58:25He carried my father's sins
00:58:27Carried my hatred
00:58:29And in the end
00:58:31Handed his only hope
00:58:33To me
00:58:38He finds me in the crowd
00:58:44And reaches out his hand to me
00:58:48Leela
00:58:53I walk over
00:58:54And take his hand
00:58:57Grandpa
00:58:58I'll protect her
00:59:00I'll protect the kids
00:59:01I'll protect the Cooper family
00:59:04Rest easy
00:59:07In that moment I know
00:59:08I will never let go of this hand again
00:59:18After Garrett is gone
00:59:19Andre stops playing chess
00:59:21Amelia stops asking me for
00:59:23For bedtime stories
00:59:24Their teacher calls to say
00:59:26They've been spacing out at kindergarten
00:59:28Not playing with the other kids
00:59:30Until one day
00:59:31I find a drawing in Amelia's backpack
00:59:33Five people holding hands
00:59:35Me, Sean, Andres, Amalia, and Garrett
00:59:38Garrett's face was very blurry
00:59:40Beside it crooked letters
00:59:42Spell out a sentence
00:59:43Who's next?
00:59:45My daughter
00:59:45Only four years old
00:59:47Is afraid of death
00:59:48Sean sees the drawing
00:59:50And is silent for a long time
00:59:52Then he picks up both kids
00:59:54And sits on the sofa
00:59:57Amelia
00:59:59Andres
01:00:00Listen to me
01:00:02We will be together
01:00:03Forever
01:00:05No one will ever leave again
01:00:07That night
01:00:08He comes to me
01:00:12Leela
01:00:14Let's have a wedding
01:00:15Not for us
01:00:17But to make them believe
01:00:19This family will never fall apart
01:00:23I look at our sleeping children
01:00:30And nod
01:00:33It's May
01:00:34The roses at the Maniser
01:00:36Are in full bloom
01:00:39The whole garden is fragrant
01:00:45Andres wears a little suit
01:00:47Amalia is in a white princess dress
01:00:50Carrying a small flower basket
01:00:53And scattering petals
01:01:02Josh flies back from overseas
01:01:04He takes my arm
01:01:06And walks me towards Sean
01:01:07Who waits under a rose-covered arch
01:01:15This time
01:01:16Neither of you is allowed to look back
01:01:26Sean takes my hand
01:01:28Sunlight falling into his eyes
01:01:32Layla Cooper
01:01:34Layla Cooper
01:01:35I'll spend the rest of my life
01:01:37Making up for everything I owe you
01:01:39From the first half
01:01:42I stand on my tiptoes
01:01:44And kiss him
01:01:48Petals fall around us
01:01:50I close my eyes
01:01:52And remember that night
01:01:53Four years ago
01:01:55And his eyes
01:01:56Looking at me
01:01:57When we met again
01:01:58At the airport
01:02:01Fate arranged everything
01:02:03Just right
